Hardin Valley Academy teacher Tim Lee has organized a team of 62 peer tutors to work with special education students.

He says it benefits both groups.

The most important education Lee had in preparation for his career as a special education teacher took place at home when he was a child, first in Nashville and then in Corryton.

Judge Dale Workman to retire Circuit Court Judge Dale Workman, a longtime Halls resident, has announced he will not stand for re-election in 2014.

“After 33 years, it’s time,” he said of his impending retirement.

Workman was the county’s law director before becoming a judge. He says he’s announcing his intentions now so others have an opportunity to run.

Window art

By Cindy Taylor It’s a job. It’s a hobby.

No, it’s art.

Powell resident Lucy Caldwell retired three times in 28 years as a business manager in the automotive industry. Now she repurposes leather and at 80 years old says her goal is to create items that will last.

“I had always worked and didn’t have time for much else,” she said. “I didn’t know I could create anything but once I started I just kept going.

I like to come up with my own ideas and they’re usually far out.”

Caldwell began making leather collars in the 1980s. This quickly led to leather purses, pillows, collages, greeting cards and miniature shoes. She uses a pair of 55 year old scissors for cutting the leather and a sewing machine that is 54 years old to sew pieces together. She uses twists and what she refers to as shar-pei (wrinkle detail) to add dimension to the leather. While all of these creations are absolute works of art, Caldwell is most pleased with her window designs.

“I made cloth curtains for my niece 23 years ago and now they need to be replaced. I had made so many things out of leather that I wondered why not curtains as well.”

Niece Theresa Lucille Phillips lives on a horse farm, and is Caldwell’s No. 1 fan and namesake. Caldwell went to the drawing board and began sketching.

Soon she had a plan ready to run by her niece. Theresa loved it. The new leather curtains took more than a year to complete.

“Sometimes at night with the lights on I just stand and look at my windows,” said Phillips.

She and husband Doug have volunteered with Ducks Unlimited for more than 30 years and Caldwell incorporated that logo into the window art.

“What I would like to do next is a wall hanging for Ducks Unlimited to be auctioned off and raise

Full view of the new kitchen window treatment money for them,” said Caldwell. “I want people to know that you can take nothing and make something out of it.”

Much of her work is hanging in Smithbilt model homes. But don’t contact Caldwell to place an order.

“I’m not looking for a project. I don’t take orders and I don’t sell my work. To spend all this time to turn around and sell what I create, I’d just rather give it to family and friends.”

She also repurposes jewelry.

But that’s another story for another day.

Teacher morale top topic for schools

By Sandra Clark There was a different energy at the Insight Session at Karns High School last week – anger, larger crowd and a willingness to speak out. As the meetings move across the county, a couple of issues stand out.

■ Gibbs residents are showing up in droves to demand a new middle school on land adjacent to the relatively new Gibbs Elementary School.

■ Teachers and their loved ones are increasingly speaking out about the perceived unfairness of evaluations and a lack of respect from the system’s central office.

The six Insight Sessions were designed to enable parents, teachers and community members to offer suggestions for the school system’s next five years. One remaining session will be 6 p.m.

Tuesday, Oct. 29, at Austin-East Magnet High School.

Breakout sessions, facilitated

by Leadership Knoxville, are limited to 12 participants, and everyone is heard. People are asked:

“The system is completely unstable,” said the husband of a teacher. “There is too much change. Teachers are living in a threat environment.”

A teacher said, “We do not have respect; we are teaching the way we know is wrong.”

One participant complained about school food: “Healthy or not, it’s just wasted.”

Yet another teacher cited a “major decline” in teacher morale.

The evening ended without Karns-specific suggestions.

School board members Lynne Fugate, Pam Trainor and Mike McMillan attended, along with former board member Cindy Buttry, who lives in Karns, and county commissioner Dave Wright.

health & lifestyles

A life changing night of sleep Scott Beverly of Knoxville, 53, has been taking better care of his health lately, ever since he experienced atrial fibrillation, the most common type of irregular heartbeat.

Working out and losing weight have helped. But Beverly has also visited Dr. Thomas G. Higgins at the Fort Sanders Sleep Disorders Center for an exam and a sleep test in the summer of 2013.

“My wife (Toni) kept saying I was snoring a whole lot at nighttime, and she could tell I stopped breathing during the night,” Beverly said.

At the sleep center, Beverly was diagnosed with a condition called obstructive sleep apnea.

This occurs when a person’s airway relaxes during sleep and collapses on itself. This causes loud snoring and periodic lapses in breathing, which in turn can strain the heart.

And of course, it makes for a lousy night’s sleep.

At the sleep center, Beverly had a thorough exam by Higgins and then was scheduled for a sleep test. He arrived at 7 p.m. to spend the night in one of the center’s suites, complete with a comfortable bed and bathroom.

“It was very nice, almost like home,” Beverly said. Except that patients are connected all night to monitors recording their heart rate, brain activity, breathing

dreamed. I hadn’t done that in forever!”

Today Beverly wears a CPAP mask every night to sleep and has seen a dramatic improvement in his energy level. The machine is about the size of a shoe box and sits beside his bed.

“I’m 100 percent better. I didn’t feel it at first. But my wife and even boss and others could tell the difference. I have more pep and a more normal energy level,” Beverly said.

Beverly said he would recommend the Fort Sanders Sleep Disorders Center to anyone who needs a better night’s rest. And the added bonus of treating his sleep apnea has been a more regular heart beat.

“My atrial fibrillation has gone from spells four times a week, to maybe once every two weeks, if that,” he said. “Dr. Higgins thinks maybe when I stopped breathing so many times during the night, it was triggering the irregular heartbeat.

“I had excellent care at Fort Scott Beverly and his wife, Toni, in Annapolis, Md., where their son, Brandon, is a junior at the United States Naval Sanders,” he said. “When you walk in, you’re not a number, Academy you’re a person.

Science of a good night’s rest Getting a good night’s rest is not a luxury but rather a necessity for good health, according to Dr. Thomas G. Higgins, a neurologist and sleep disorders specialist at Fort Sanders Sleep Disorders Center.

“Most people need at least seven or eight hours of sleep,” said Higgins. “There are shorter sleepers, but most people getting five hours are not getting enough sleep. Your body temperature, horDr. Thomas G. mones and everyHiggins thing in the body functions better if you’re attaining enough sleep.”

A lack of sleep can affect the body in many negative ways, Higgins said.

“The immune system is affected,” he said. “People who do not get enough sleep are more likely to become ill. People with insufficient sleep are more likely to put on weight, because a lack of sleep affects metabolism. That can lead to diabetes and heart disease.

doesn’t get to a deep stage of sleep.

Sleep apnea is managed by wearing a CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) machine at night. This machine forces air through a tube and mask, and into the patient’s airway to keep it open.

“In one study, they took photos of patients before and two months after using a CPAP machine, and asked other people to rate who was more attractive. The people judged most attractive were the ones who had used the CPAP for a couple of months.

Myths about sleep Myth: Some people only need 4 to 5 hours per night.

Truth: Everyone needs 7 to 8 hours of sleep each night, and others need up to 9 hours. Sleep is productive time, in which brain and body cells rejuvenate.

Myth: Sleep problems only affect older women.

Truth: Insomnia affects everyone, but is more common in older women. Men in their 30s and 40s are most likely to get sleep apnea. And narcolepsy, a serious sleep disorder, most often begins in a person’s teens and 20s.

When to call the doctor If you have a problem getting to sleep, it’s probably a sleep hygiene issue.

Try keeping regular sleep hours, use the bedroom only for sleeping don’t work on the computer or watch TV just before bed and avoid caffeine after dinner.

Get exercise every day, but not right before bed. Do something relaxing before bed, like take a bath or read (as long as it’s not exciting). Keep the lights low or even off. Before there were electric lights, people regularly slept 9 hours per day.

If you keep waking up during the night, that’s more likely a physica problem such as sleep apnea, restless leg syndrome or any one of a number of sleep disorders.

If you’ve tried good sleep hygiene and still can’t fall asleep, call your doctor. Or if you’re waking up in the middle of the night repeatedly that’s a reason to call a doctor as well.

Get Your Life Back Chronic sleep deprivation or poor quality sleep can leave you feeling exhausted, irritable and unable to focus. It can also lead to serious health problems.

The professionals at the nationally accredited Fort Sanders Regional Sleep Disorders Center can help you get a refreshing night’s sleep – and get your life back.

The Emory Road Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) shed their usual meeting place for a trek to Marble Springs, state historic site of John Sevier’s last remaining home. The group was joined by Junior American Citizens (JAC) from Norris Elementary School.

The Norris JAC students designed and made a special quilt about the life and times of Sevier – a Revolutionary War hero, politician and Tennessee’s first governor.

The John Sevier Story Timeline Quilt had been entered and won state, regional and national awards. JAC representatives Jackson Venable, John Zye Pope, Orey Kell Pope and leader Lora Kay Pope dedicated the framed quilt and presented it with a plaque to the Marble Spring’s staff.

The quilt will be placed in the Marble Springs welcome center.

government Is the honeymoon over for Burchett/Rogero?

Tim Burchett and Madeline Rogero aren’t like peas and carrots anymore.

Betty Bean Burchett has taken on a combative tone, challenging Rogero’s opposition to the James White Parkway extension and accusing her of excluding the public from the process, causing old-timers among the local press corps to recall the glory days when County Executive Dwight Kessel’s brawls with Mayor Victor Ashe were going the length of the bar and into the street.

Hot damn! Could we be returning to a time when we never had to look hard for a government story?

Probably not. These are two exceptionally canny politicos. Republican Burchett says Rogero’s his friend.

Democrat Rogero says she’s looking forward to continuing their cooperative relationship.

Rogero was elected Knoxville mayor in 2011.

Burchett was elected county mayor in 2010 and openly supported Rogero in the nonpartisan city election, unlike most local Republicans, who were for Ivan Harmon in the primary and Democrat Mark Padgett after he got enough votes to force Rogero into a general election battle.

Padgett made an open appeal for Republican votes, portraying himself as the conservative, businessfriendly alternative to the Cesar Chavez-loving Rogero (commonly referred to as “That Woman” by Padgett/ Harmon supporters who usually finished the sentence with the declaration “…scares me to death”).

Burchett’s personal popularity and solid conservative credentials allowed him to safely buck the trend and let it be known that he was down with Team Rogero. It probably got Rogero some votes.

But despite disclaimers to the contrary, the recent rough patch between the

Madeline Rogero and Tim Burchett share a Hollerpalooza moment in 2011.

two mayors isn’t just a one-off disagreement. Burchett followed up his JWP outburst with a sideways swipe at the city’s $22 million Baptist Hospital Tax Increment Financing deal, hinting that he might ask County Commission to delay its TIF vote so he could study the matter (both city and county tax revenues are at stake, so the county legislative body must approve such arrangements). He didn’t follow through, but he got the city administration’s attention. Opposing Rogero’s biggest development project to date would have caused more fireworks than Boomsday.

Another potential dispute is brewing over what to do with county-owned Historic Knoxville High School. City redevelopment director Bob Whetsel, a member of the committee that evaluated developers’ proposals, lives in Historic 4th & Gill, center of opposition to the county plan to convert the iconic building into senior citizens’ housing.

Rogero declined to comment, calling Knoxville High redevelopment a county matter.

Burchett, though clearly irritated by criticism of the county plan, deflects questions with signature humor – “You got two big kids on the block and they’re gonna bump heads. I’m a big picture kind of guy. I have a lot of vision.”

It’s not Dwight/Victorlevel fireworks, but it’s not all bluebirds and Bubble Up between the offices on the opposite ends of the 6th floor, either. So old reporters have reason to hope.

Hopecote is second Staub house Only two John Staub homes exist in Knoxville, and the University of Tennessee owns both. One is Hopecote, an English Cotswold cottage-type home at 1820 Melrose Avenue. The other is the much more formal home of the late Eugenia Williams at 4848 Lyons View Pike next to UT Trustee Charles Anderson and two houses east of James A. Haslam III, older brother of Gov. Bill Haslam.

Hopecote was built in 1924 and is used by the university as a guest house. The Williams home was built in 1940 and has not been used

by UT for anything since its acquisition in 1998. Staub designed Hopecote for his aunt, Mrs. Albert Hope.

Having grown up at 1811 Melrose Avenue from 1945 to 1961, I knew the Hopecote house and even delivered the News Sentinel there (then an afternoon newspaper). My family home is still standing, used as the Baptist Student Center.

Both Staub homes have been in influential neighborhoods at one time or the other. Before the university moved into the Melrose Avenue area, the neighborhood was populated by well-known Knoxville families. Matthew McClellan, who owns MS McClellan’s, grew up on Melrose next to this writer.

Former Mayor Kyle Testerman grew up here and other residents included attorney Charles Seymour, grandfather of Arthur G. Seymour Jr., businessmen Ed McMillan and Ed Ashe. Loye Miller, editor of the News Sentinel, lived in the area, along with

Victor Ashe

Cliff Pettit of Pettit Motors.

Melrose Hall, which had been built in the 1850s and used by both Union and Confederate soldiers, was across from the Seymour home. The university, which has often had little regard for historic homes, demolished this Civil War era home to construct Hess Hall, which has to rank as one of the university’s least attractive buildings.

The Ed McMillan home was acquired with the owner thinking it would become the UT president’s home, but that understanding was based on a handshake which was quickly forgotten as it too was hit by the wrecking ball. McMillan was president of Standard Knitting Mills.

Last week I visited Hopecote, where I was met by five persons including Whitney Heins, media coordinator for Margie Nichols, Justin Dothard, Terry Ledford, Frank Cuevas and Garry Stinnett, Hopecote caretaker. It can house up to six guests at one time in three rooms. Stinnett has been there since 1990.

The university bought the home in 1976 for $149,500.

Stinnett said the most unusual experience he had was finding a guest deceased one morning in her room. The longest-staying guest was Kelly Brown, a

Hopecote is on the National Register of Historic Places along with Ayres Hall and Tyson House. The contrast with the care given to this Staub building and the other Staub house (the Williams home) is striking and painful to observe.

■ Progress on Fort Kid It may be too early to suggest Fort Kid will escape the wrecking ball, but Mayor Rogero has a meeting this week with Fort Kid founder Beth Waters, who oversees the $65,000 private trust fund.

The meeting at Fort Kid represents a continuing discussion. Hopefully, the city will accept the use of these funds and restore the fort to its original status, when it was built in 1991 in five days.

The city removed any mention of Fort Kid from its recreation brochure, enclosed in the News Sentinel recently at a cost just under $10,000.

The week the wheels rolled off At Karns High School on Oct. 21, when Shelby Berkley sang Willie Nelson’s “Blue Skies,” I turned to Superintendent Jim McIntyre on the front row and said, “He’s singing your song!”

To his credit, McIntyre laughed. He then jumped to his feet to lead a standing ovation for the music students of Caryn Marlowe who had stayed late to entertain those of us attending the school system’s fourth of six Insight Sessions.

But it’s more like gray skies ahead for McIntyre as teachers are following the lead of Lauren Hopson and speaking out at Insight Sessions and meetings with school board members. If teachers don’t advocate for best practices, who will?

And teachers know that we’ve gone way overboard on testing and evaluations.

We’re weighing the hogs rather than feeding them and then wondering why they won’t fatten up.

Stinnett keeps the house going and maintained.

In the 2012 academic year, 41 guests stayed for 202 nights. This academic year has seen 34 guests for 118 nights.

He said the best-known guest was Alvin Poussaint, who is a psychiatry professor at Harvard with an emphasis on African-Americans.

In 2008-2009, more than $200,000 was spent for renovation, new furniture, a patio and landscaping. The prior furniture is in storage at the UT warehouse. Yet money is hard to find to stabilize the Williams house.

There are three bedrooms with one being a master bedroom with an attached bath.

The other two rooms share a bath. One has a queen bed and the other has twin beds. Room rates are $40 a night for a single room and $50 for the double bedroom.

Non-university groups may rent the downstairs and outside patio for $150 for events. However, with a ban on street parking on Melrose, it is hard to determine where guests would park for a reception or wedding.

Annual maintenance is around $33,000 plus a $25,000 salary for the caretaker who also lives at the house. The salary seems quite modest.

Missouri has endured fewer injuries than before but is again without star quarterback James Franklin. Pinkel’s solution creates an interesting comparison.

If all redshirt freshman quarterbacks were created equal, development is undoubtedly the difference we see. Case in point: Nathan Peterman and Maty Mauk.

Williams to be inducted into CHS Wall of Fame

By Jamie Rowe Sylvia Blankenship Williams has enriched her community as one of the creative forces responsible for the succ e s s f u l Fountain City Art Center.

Sylvia Williams She will be inducted into the Central High School Wall of Fame on Saturday, Nov. 2, at Central High.

Sylvia was born July 11, 1952, in Knoxville, the oldest of four children born to Dr. James L. Blankenship, a nuclear physicist, and Jamie Gillenwaters Blankenship.

Her 5th grade teacher at Spring Hill Elementary, JoAnne Wade, was the first person to encourage her pursuit of art. Her education continued at Fountain City Elementary, then Central High.

In high school, she was active in Junior and Senior Honor Society, Beta Club, French Club, chorus, student library staff, and Y-Teens. She became the Central annual staff artist and headed the committee to create backdrops and props for the Central choral production of “The Wizard of Oz.” She also met her future husband, artist Charles Williams Jr., while washing paint brushes in art class.

After graduation in 1970, she attended Mary Baldwin College in Staunton, Va., receiving a degree in French literature. The college’s Junior Year Abroad program allowed her to spend a year in Paris.

She returned to Knoxville, married Charles and attended the UT for certification to teach K-12. Two professors recommended her for graduate studies in the French department with a teaching assistantship.

Obtaining her master’s degree in French was too enticing to ignore.

After achieving her master’s in 1976, she began 10 years of teaching at Gresham Middle School, including three levels of French, as well as English, Reading Enrichment and English grammar. Additionally, she was sponsor of Y-Teens and French Club, and director of both the annual spelling bee and Awards Day. She became a full-time mom to her two children, Chuck and Olivia, then reentered education, writing and instructing high school French courses for UT’s Center for Extended Learning. From 1993-98, she was a French instructor at Pellissippi State.

In 2001, Sylvia became involved with an area artist

organization, the Fountain City Art Guild. She proposed creating a nonprofit art center. In October 2004, that dream was realized in the old Fountain City Branch Library building on Hotel Avenue. Months before receiving keys to the property, Sylvia formed a board of 21 community leaders and artists and enrolled 150 Art Center members.

Sylvia served as volunteer director from the beginning. In 2005, the board asked her to serve as executive director with a salary, a position

she still holds.

The art center offers 20 classes or workshops at any given time. Additionally, the center has exhibits, summer art camp classes for youth, five or six major art-related events, and works with other organizations in the region to promote the arts.

She has original, innovative ideas for well-attended events such as the annual garden party, Art-a-Palooza and Murder Mysteries at Halloween.

Sylvia is proud of her

Nathan was the victim of Butch Jones’ failed experiment at Florida. He was the Tennessee brick that broke.

Mauk was plug and play at Missouri. When Franklin went down against Georgia, Mauk looked surprisingly comfortable as the emergency replacement.

A week later, Mauk directed a victory over Florida. OK, those were not exactly the same Gators who ate Peterman alive. And, perhaps the Missouri offensive line did better in support of Mauk than did the highly regarded Volunteers on behalf of Peterman.

(It is highly unlikely that both lines are the best in the Southeastern Conference).

family – her husband, two children, and two grandchildren as well as her parents. She said the best part of being inducted into the Central High Wall of Fame is “being on the same wall with my father, Dr. James Blankenship, (a 2007 inductee) a great scientist, father, and a man of charitable deeds.”

The 12th annual CHS Wall of Fame Breakfast will be held at the Central High School Commons at 9 a.m.

Nov. 2. The ceremony will follow in the school auditorium. Tickets are $20 and are available at the Central High office. Call R. Larry Smith (922-5433) or the school office (689-1400) for more info. Other inductees are C.E. Harris and Stephen Land.

shirt freshman quarterbacks goes back to high school. Mauk was a Parade All-American and two-time Gatorade Player of the Year at Kenton, Ohio. He broke national prep career records for passing yards, completions, touchdowns and total offense.

Mauk’s senior stats were awesome: 5,413 passing yards and 68 touchdowns, 1,768 rushing yards and 24 touchdowns. It seems the numbers mattered.

His father was his high school coach. The dad allowed the son to keep playing in his final home game, a 74-22 rout. Mauk finished the evening 27-for-29 for 505 yards and nine touchdowns!

Peterman, Florida 6-A player of the year, threw for 2,972 yards and 35 touchdowns as a senior at Bartram Trail High in St. Johns. He ran for 319 yards and five touchdowns. Nathan’s dad is a pastor.

Missouri beat Michigan, Notre Dame, Illinois, Vanderbilt and Cincinnati for Mauk’s signature and services.

Nathan was thinking Vanderbilt, Wake Forest and Cincinnati before Tennessee offered a scholarship. Indeed, Coach Jones had been vigorously recruiting Peterman and Mauk for the Bearcats. Maty’s brother Ben played at Cincinnati.

Peterman, recovering from a fractured hand, does not project as a Saturday factor. Mauk is the young man for the Vols to beat.

Halloween of yesteryear One thing I have noticed during the past few Halloweens is that trick-or-treaters are on the decline.

I can remember not so long ago they arrived by school bus, and when you opened the door your treats were wiped out in less than a minute. The decline can be partially attributed to church and civic club sponsored events that include various competitions and other wholesome activities that keep the kids off the street and out of harm’s way.

But in Old Concord, Halloween was nothing like today’s version. First, there was no door-to-door trick or treat activity because the treat aspect was not an

option. Oh, there were the more benign tricks such as writing on windows with a bar of soap, or perhaps a busted pumpkin on someone’s front porch, but these pranks usually involved the younger kids. The real tricks began in the wee hours of the morning and often involved pranksters in their late teens or even early 20s.

Most families in the Village had outdoor privies,

and these were fair game for pranksters. If you had an outhouse, Halloween could become an all-night vigil to prevent it from being turned over or even moved to your front yard.

I distinctly remember my father, a telegrapher for the Southern Railroad, going to the office one morning after Halloween to find a prominent outhouse sitting on top of the depot. He called railroad maintenance, which removed it with a crane, but it remains a mystery as to how the pranksters were able to hoist it on the roof.

Not many people in the Village had garages, and cars parked in driveways or on the street gave most

pranksters an irresistible temptation. So, in addition to having your privy moved to the front yard, you also had to worry about finding your car on blocks the next morning with the wheels piled on top of the car. Fortunately, we never found our car on blocks, and some people noticed that fact.

That led some to think that I was involved in the pranks, but that was not the case. I guess we were just lucky.

Another favorite activity for younger kids was answering a dare, and one of those dares was to go to the old Masonic Hall and walk around the place slowly three times. Now, this old building already had a reputation of being haunted, and when you consider it was sitting in a cemetery, this made the dare even

He told me the man lived in a tipi in the mountains – lived off the land.

Bonnie With a break from the Peters authors’ tent, I made my way up the hill. An older man with a long beard was sitting there and looked the part. Being the bashful soul My classmate Irene that I am, I approached him Walker Nelson’s family and said, “The people over owns Walton View Farms, at Walton View Farms said I so that was my first stop. ought to come over and talk They always have a splen- with you. did variety of pumpkins, He replied, “I don’t know gourds, squash and other why, but I’ll be glad to talk fall products.

Justin Burke, keeper of the Folk Ways in Hardin Valley, and he didn’t cook – his wife did.

I soon decided I’d struck out and went back to the authors’ tent. An hour or so later I looked by the tent again and there was the mountain man.

Back up the hill I went.

I asked, “Are you the person who lives in a tipi in the mountains?”

“Yes, I’m Justin Burke. I live in a 20 x 20 foot tipi at Boone, N.C.” He had bought his winter’s supply of cushaw, pumpkin, butternut squash, etc. at Walton’s.

His tipi accommodates a wood stove and his lighting is an oil lamp. He said he has a minimum of cook pots

more of a challenge. But I can remember taking that dare, and on the second trip around, I encountered a “ghost” in a white sheet making mournful sounds. I never finished the third trip around, but I did outrun the ghost who turned out to be one of the older pranksters.

For the younger kids, nine o’clock was usually curfew time, and you had the option of either sitting on the front porch guarding your pumpkin or peering out the window to try to see other activities.

And of course, the radio programs always ran a special feature on Halloween.

The one I remember in particular was the “creaking door.” And a ghostly voice would say, “Come on in. No one knows what’s behind the creaking door.”

Halloween 60 years ago was not the commercial event that it is now. Today, Halloween outfits began making their appearance in stores at least a month before the big event. And the creativity of these costumes is laudable, but I cannot remember ever having a Halloween costume. In fact, I don’t remember ever seeing such a costume in a store, and certainly not the stores in Old Concord.

And while it’s nostalgic to remember how Halloween was once celebrated, the planned activities of churches and civic groups today offer kids more wholesome entertainment in a controlled environment.

That can only be a better choice for their well-being than it was in Old Concord 60 years ago.

and skillets. He doesn’t own a Dutch oven. He had once cooked a coyote at the request of the park service. He is a young, self-employed blacksmith, bark basket maker, leather worker and knife sharpener.

Jim Clayborn, who had stopped by to visit with Justin and his grandmother who came over with him, says Burke is a better knife sharpener than 80-yearolds who have sharpened knives for 60-plus years.

Justin uses a diamond hone.

He teaches classes in blacksmithing, bark baskets and leather working at the John C. Campbell Folk School near Boone, N.C. Justin is indeed an interesting and gifted young man who is gaining worldwide recognition. Fifteen foreign countries were represented at the Homecoming.

I learned that the gentleman of a certain age I had spoken with earlier is Jim

Stafford, who is fondly known as the “Mayor of Hardin Valley. He saw an empty chair and had taken advantage of it for a little while until Justin returned.

2013 Persimmon Weather Predictor

I was asked by several at the homecoming what the persimmons were saying about the coming winter. I had to say I didn’t have any persimmons on my trees this year, so Ellen Perry brought me some.

First, these persimmons were much larger than usual, but the seeds were much smaller than I can remember seeing before. I cut open several seeds and only one had the imprint of a spoon (mild winter). The others had a knife (hard, cold, icy winter).

I don’t know about the persimmons, but, if frost on my roof is any indication, we’re in for a humdinger.

(“All Things Bright and Beautiful,” Cecil Frances Alexander, 1848) It seems to me that autumn is late this year.

I may be wrong about that, but I have been watching the ridges and the mountains for color, and it has been only in the last week that I have seen Mother Nature putting on her truly gaudy clothes. Oh, there have been hints and a few promising trees, but no take-your-breath-away views. She is being a tease, I think.

I was supposed to be an October baby, and Daddy took Mother to the hospital on Halloween night (spare me the witch jokes, please) but I missed an October birthday by one day. Even so, October is my favorite month. I love the cooler air, the blue skies, the turning trees.

On the drive home the other night after a visit to my daughter Jordan in Atlanta, I watched the moonrise over the mountains. It was a waning moon, and I was startled to realize I had missed the October full moon in the bright lights of the city.

Only now that October is almost over, and the harvest moon of the Cherokee is waning, I see at last the warm plaid on the mountains, the gold and scarlet and orange against the faithful evergreens. I think we are blessed to live in this part of the world, where there are four distinct seasons. That is something you probably already know

Cross Currents

Lynn Pitts

about me, since I have been known to go on and on about the first daffodil, or the first sandal day, the first wood fire, the first snowfall.

Maybe, to be perfectly honest, I love the four seasons because change keeps life interesting and entertaining.

About this time every year, I also ponder the imagination of our Creator who thought up praying mantises and Beluga whales and Irish setters, as well as mastodons and kitty cats and hippopotami. While God was creating, He also got busy and gave us stars and comets and rainbows, as well as bald eagles and cardinals and hummingbirds, red maple trees and dark firs and majestic oaks, each one a joy to behold. So I would surmise that God loves variety as much as I do.

The poet Cecil Frances Alexander goes on in her poem to rejoice in the fact that “God gave us eyes to see them, and lips that we might tell How great is God Almighty, who has made all things well.”

Consider it done.

FRESH SIRLOIN

Schultheis contacted a few large dog rescue groups, but there was “no room at the inn.�

She then contacted At Risk Intervention (ARI), a rescue group affiliated with PetCo, and requested that they help set up an internet funding site for Trula’s medical care. While all this was happening, the dog was examined at UT Veterinary Hospital, where it was determined that she had a malignant tumor. The eye needed to be removed in order to save her life.

In July, Dr. Patrick Hackett of Pellissippi Veterinary Hospital successfully performed the surgery. Once Trula’s sutures healed, she was delivered into the care of the Tennessee Valley Humane Society, which began steps to find the dog – no less beautiful after the loss of an eye – a forever home.

Meanwhile, Trula was becoming famous through social media. ARI – which ultimately did raise more than $400 for the dog’s care – had contacted Recycled Best Friends, a community

animal rescue-and-placement organization featured on Facebook. Trula’s story and pictures were sent out into cyberspace, and she began to gather fans.

Back at HSTV, Trula had immediately become “the shelter dog.� “She would sit at reception and greet the public,� says Jessica Popek, the Society’s director of development and marketing. “She’d lay on the couch in the dog room for hours with children and staff members just wrapped around her.�

Enter Sylvia Turner and Eric Johnson of West Knoxville, who had lost two dogs of their own – first Shadow, then Kaya – in quick, unexpected succession. “Kaya was irreplaceable,� says Sylvia, who is assistant director of the Haslam Scholars program at UT, of their beloved Rhodesian Ridgeback. Diagnosed with an aggressive tumor on her spine, she was given a grim prognosis. She was in pain, and no treatments were helping.

Sylvia and Eric made every pet owner’s hardest decision, and Kaya was euthanized at home. “We were devastated,� says Sylvia, “and we vowed never again to get another dog.�

But dog lover Sylvia had been checking the Humane Society’s website every few days “secretly,� as she says.

And “when we saw Trula, we knew we wanted her. There was no hesitation.�

They adopted Trula “exactly one year after we lost Kaya.� They renamed her “Leela,� after the one-eyed “Futurama� character.

And then they threw a party.

Shopper-News Presents Miracle Makers

Relationships key to special ed success

By Betsy Pickle Hardin Valley Academy teacher Tim Lee has organized a team of 62 peer tutors to work with special education students. He says it benefits both groups.

The most important education Lee had in preparation for his career as a special education teacher took place at home when he was a child, first in Nashville and then in Corryton.

He had an aunt with Down syndrome, and she came to live with his family after his grandmother died, when Tim was in 5th grade.

His aunt and grandmother had lived in a quiet neighborhood in Nashville, and the aunt had a job at the store at the end of the block. She had a network of friends who supported her, and she had certain days when she would get the shopping lists of elderly neighbors and then pick up and deliver their groceries.

“She went freely, and she did her own thing, but she didn’t get to go to school when she was younger because they didn’t allow (mentally challenged) students where they lived to go to school.

“When she came to live with us, my mom pretty much tried to continue what my grandmother had established for her. Then, I didn’t know what it was called, but now when I look back I know that my mom was trying to normalize her life so that she could be a part of the same thing she was a part of in Nashville. She made sure she created a network of friends and people around our neighborhood. … She had a little job at the church where we went, and she went two days a week to clean and to work there, and on Sundays she worked in the nursery.

“I knew that she was happy. Every night before she had to go to work the next day, she would be really excited and be proud. That stuck with me, and through my impressionable years I knew that was something I would love to be a part of.”

After graduating from Gibbs High School, Lee wasn’t sure what career to pursue. His father wanted him to become a veterinarian, and he started at UT with an eye toward that goal. Soon, Lee knew he was on the wrong track.

He transferred to ETSU and double-majored in elementary and special education.

Special ed was different in those days, and Lee was leaning more toward elementary ed. But then he saw that things were changing – kids with disabilities were being mainstreamed and encouraged to be part of the community, just like his aunt.

After an internship at Bearden Middle, he taught in special ed at Fulton High School, staying there 19 years until he switched to Hardin Valley Academy when it opened.

Tim Lee

Tim Lee encourages student Jordan Cardwell to explore the inside of a pumpkin. Photo submitted Now in his sixth year there, Lee could not be happier. It has taken some time, but the special ed program he heads is the vision of what his aunt inspired in him. He says he has great support from principal Sallee Reynolds, and he’s thrilled with his new fellow teacher, Mallory Woods, and a strong team of teaching assistants.

Hardin Valley’s special ed program has two facets that mirror Lee’s philosophy on helping students reach their potential. The first and probably most important is relationships. The foundation of his approach is peer tutoring, where general ed students come to class with Lee’s students.

He tells peer tutors from the outset, “You have to come into this open to forming relationships with people that you probably would not typically have the opportunity to do that with.

“I made sure they understood it’s not about coming in and assisting them with certain tasks.”

Tim Lee works on his peer-tutor schedule. Photo by Betsy Pickle He also tells them, “More than anything I want you to be a part of their life, whether it’s here at school or just in the hour and a half that you’re in this class. My hope is that it’ll carry over to after school and it’ll help create memories that will stick with you on down the road. These are life lessons that are embedded in all the things you’ll be doing in here.”

The message seems to have gotten through. Though he started with three peer tutors his first semester and five in the second, he now has 62 peer tutors a semester. The application process is rigorous.

“We get the top-notch kids. We get the kids that the other kids look up to. That helps make them better advocates because those are the people that people will listen to and think, ‘If they can do this, it’s something I would try.’

“The peer tutoring helps build

bridges for our kids as far as pulling them into the mainstream of everything without it being something that I have to force.”

Peer tutors are with the special ed students each day when they go out into the community to learn life skills at different job sites. They act as role models, not teachers.

“The philosophy behind this program is to build life skills toward independent living.”

He believes the program benefits his students and their “partners,” as they call their peer mentors.

“It’s pretty amazing, just seeing the relationships start to form and then in the end to hear how they felt like they were the ones that were learning from our guys. To hear them say that, it validates what I’m hoping from the very beginning, that the relationships will carry forward and will have meaning.”

“The boys are amazing and are continuous ambassadors to our community, city, state and country.

They represent some of the great things that are happening at Powell High School.”

The ‘Rock’ of school spirit

By Cindy Taylor Powell High School spirit week may have ended, but the kids are keeping it going all year with “The Rock.”

The Student Government Association raised funds to purchase a giant boulder and Tennessee Stone donated the delivery charge to place it on the lawn at the front of the school. Students will paint the rock with a different appropriate theme or encouraging quote each week.

“This is a legacy being left by the class of 2014,” said assistant principal Melissa Glover. “This rock’s not going anywhere.”

The rock actually has its own following on Twitter at The_PHS_Rock.

PHS Students of the Month

Powell High seniors Noah Muncy – baritone,

Harrison Cooke – bass, Caleb Brewer – tenor and junior Josh Neely – lead, have formed a musical quartet and have been selected as the Powell High School Students of the Month.

The four were nominated by music instructor Jim Kennedy for their school spirit and participation in the high school barbershop quartet Common Time.

Last summer the quartet entered a national singing competition sponsored by the National Harmony Foundation and won first place. They were recognized for the win in the September issue of the National ACDA Choral Journal.

During this school year the quartet has provided music and comfort for two Celebration of Life services for Powell High families who

Yarbrough is currently the assistant principal at Amherst, where she has served since 2006. She joined Knox County Schools in 1986 as a fifth grade teacher at South Knoxville Elementary. She has also taught at Green, Ridgedale and Amherst elementary schools.

She holds a bachelor’s degree in elementary education from Tennessee Tech and a master’s in education administration and supervision from Lincoln Memorial University.
