Ashe visits St. Helena, returns Shopper columnist (and former mayor) Victor Ashe writes: “Two months ago in February, I visited an island that had been on my bucket list for years. It is St. Helena, a British Overseas Territory located in the South Atlantic Ocean between Africa (Angola is 1,200 miles east) and South America (Brazil is 1,800 miles west). St. Helena is best known as the final site for the exile of Napoleon Bonaparte after his defeat at Waterloo in 1815. He lived there until his death in 1821.�

has SoKno cheering: Awards to two By Betsy Pickle Fans of the Urban Wilderness found much to cheer at a SoKno gathering at Ijams Nature Center. The Celebrate the Urban Wilderness event last week drew around 63 adults, from twentysomethings to seniors. All of them appeared to be big fans of SoKno’s Urban Wilderness boom, which will hit a new high point when the Baker Creek Preserve opens in about a month. The inspiration for the event

was a presentation made in Janu January by Dr. Charles Sims, a Faculty Fellow at the Howard H. Baker Jr. Center for Public Policy and an assistant professor in economics at the University of Tennessee, in which Sims reported on the research he did with two graduate students on the potential economic impact of the Urban Wilderness. The South Knoxville Neighborhood & Business Coalition and the South Knoxville Alliance, a group of business owners, were

ex excited xci c teed about Sims’ report and joined forces to create the event. After Sims recapped his report, Matthew Kellogg, president of the Appalachian Mountain Bike Club; Debbie Sharp, organizer of TREK (Traverse, Ride & Explore Knoxville) South; Molly Gilbert, a SoKno-based marketing expert; and Carol Evans, executive director of Legacy Parks Foundation, joined Sims for a panel discussion. Paul James, executive director of Ijams, served as moderator.

No official studies have been made on usage of the Urban Wilderness itself and what local and non-local users are spending in South Knoxville and across the city. So to analyze the potential, Sims and his assistants used data on existing trail systems in other parts of the country. They came up with projections based on whether the UW was primarily a local, re-

DeAlejandro oversees the Tennessee Promise last-dollar scholarship in 54 counties. “tnAchieves has been sending students to Pellissippi State since 2009, so I’m excited that many of our students will be in the audience graduating this year. “I’ve had a long and very supportive relationship with Pellissippi State throughout the tnAchieves journey,� DeAlejandro said. “I look forward to sharing my experiences working with students the last eight years – I do believe many of these students will go on to do great things.� Each tnAchieves scholarship recipient must complete eight hours of community service prior

It helps them find a niche and a career.� Since its inception, tnAchieves recipients have completed more than 540,000 hours of community service. Pellissippi State president L.

Hip replacement gets tennis player back into the game He discovered tennis in its golden years, back when Ilie Nastase, Vitas Gerulaitis and Bjorn Borg ruled the men’s courts. But almost four decades later, Kevin Simpson’s game was suffering. “For the longest time I thought that I must have a groin pull because every time I would go out and play tennis it would hurt,â€? he said. “I went a whole year with it, and then during the second year I thought, ‘I need to have this checked. Something’s not right.’ â€? Indeed, something was NOT right. A chiropractor’s X-ray showed his right hip was bone-on-bone, and Dr. Paul Yau, an orthopedic surgeon at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center conďŹ rmed it. “Kevin had end stage, bone-on-bone arthritis, a signiďŹ cant limp, pain when he stood and was particularly in pain getting up from a chair, in and out of bed, and in and out of his car,â€? said Dr. Yau. “His hip was also very stiff. He could not cross his legs, and even had problems tying the laces on his shoes. He wanted to be active again. Play tennis. He wasn’t ready to call it quits just yet. Life was too short to sit it out.â€? That is exactly why Simpson sought out Dr. Yau in the ďŹ rst place. Knowing other tennis friends who had undergone traditional hip replacement surgery with its lengthy recovery period, Simpson had heard there was a better way, a method that Dr. Yau uses for almost every hip replacement. Called “Direct Anterior Hip Replacement,â€? it’s a procedure in which the surgeon goes through the front (anterior) portion of the hip instead of the side or the back. This allows the surgeon to push aside important muscles and tendons rather than cutting through them to position a new hip joint implant. “My patients who have had one hip done

After hearing about Dr. Yau’s experience with the surgery, he made an appointment and was quickly impressed by the affable surgeon. “He stayed there and answered every question I had,� said Simpson. “He gave me all the time I needed. One of the nurses told me that he would stay with you all day if you needed him too. I told him what my goals were – I’ve been a runner all my life and wanted to get back to running and I want to get back on the tennis court. And he said, ‘I don’t see any problem with that.’ � On Sept. 28, 2015, two days before Simpson’s 59th birthday, he was being prepped for his surgery at FSRMC. “Right before the surgery, Dr. Yau came in and I told him, ‘I want to be the ‘Six Million Dollar Man.’ He said, ‘Well, how about a Million Dollar man?’ He had such a wonderful personality.� A short time later, Simpson emerged from the recovery room a new man with a new hip and “feeling great.� That same day Dr. Yau sent him home to begin his recovery. “The next day, the pain medicine was Kevin Simpson was able to return to the tenwearing off and I could feel some soreness nis court not long after hip replacement surand tightness there but nothing major,� said gery by Dr. Paul Yau at Fort Sanders Regional Simpson, who was off his crutches by his Medical Center. “The guy that was beating me second follow-up appointment. like a drum when my hip was messed up, it By Thanksgiving, Simpson was back on wasn’t even close.

‘Giant leap’ in hip replacement surgery Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center is among only 15 percent of U.S. hospitals with the staff and facilities available to perform the latest approach in hip replacement surgery, called “Direct Anterior Hip Replacement.â€? In this procedure, the surgeon goes through the front (anterior) portion of the hip, instead of the side or back. This allows the surgery to be performed in between muscles and tendons instead of cutting through them to position a new hip joint implant. “When I ďŹ rst started doing hip replacement surgery this way, I thought it was just another option to access the joint, but people have done amazingly well with this approach,â€? said Dr. Paul Yau, an orthopedic surDr. Paul Yau geon with Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center. “With traditional hip replacements, we have to cut muscles or tendons, which prolongs the recovery process and may require limitations on hip motion,â€? said Yau. “It is common to hear patients being told not to bend at the hip more than 90 degrees, squat, reach to the oor or cross your legs after hip replacement because it would risk a dislocation.

Safety, not JWP debate, dominates TDOT Chapman meeting The words “Chapman Highway� are becoming a call to action.

Betsy Pickle

Many people hear “Chapman Highway� and immediately clamor for safety improvements through widening the roadway, upgrading traffic lights, creating better feeder roads and enforcing speed limits. Many others hear the name of the highway and insist that the only way to make Chapman safer is by moving ahead with the James White Parkway extension, connecting the parkway from Moody Avenue to the Gov. John Sevier Highway interchange with Chapman. There isn’t a lot of overlap between the two groups, but one thing they do have in common is that advocates for both sides attended a Tennessee Department

struction expected to start in 2018. Three people were killed in a two-vehicle collision near Simpson Road in February; Borden called it “an important project.â€? He said adding center turn lanes was one of the most effective safety improvements. “When we take a four-lane section that has high crash rates, when we’re able to put a center turn lane in there, Steve Borden, TDOT rewe have about a 40 percent gional director and assistant reduction in crashes.â€? chief engineer, says TDOT Borden said widening is “working to get center projects were “very expenturn lanes where we can.â€? sive,â€? especially with “a hill on one side and a creek on Barry Neal, Jack Simpson, Sylvia Woods, Knox County a center turn lane – are al- the other.â€?

What made the UW stand out compared with trails in such places as the Research Triangle area in North Carolina, the Virginia Creeper trail in Virginia and the Slickrock Trail in Utah is that it is much closer to restaurants and lodging and to a downtown commercial area. And though there are acclaimed urban trails in Richmond, Manhattan, Minneapolis and Seattle, the UW has 42 miles (and growing) of trails, more than twice the number of the other four trails combined. If used only as a local amenity, potential annual expenditures by users are $8,329,474; regional, $14,600,442; national, $29,010,442. Sims pointed out that the

North Hills Garden Club will take its annual plant sale to the next level with a tour of private gardens which produced the plants sold on April 23. The tour is set for 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturday, May 7, at 1726 North Hills Blvd. Tickets are $10. Lloyd King and Rob Claytor are co-chairing the tour. King called it a fund-raiser for the club, which supports beautification projects in North Hills and at North Hills Park. “We spend it all,� King said, pointing to new flower beds, park lights and a gazebo, which cost $12,000. The North Hills Park has been around since 1931, but is a hidden treasure, he said. The city of late has been a good partner, providing matching funds for upgrades with the garden club giving volunteer labor and some funds. A tour rain date has been set for Saturday, May 14, and notice will be given on Facebook.

She encouraged other businesses to welcome UW visitors: “It helps when you do your part.� Evans emphasized that the primary benefit of the UW is local. She recalled a quote she heard at a conference in Chicago: “We build parks for people here; if they like them, others will come.� Evans said the UW can help schoolchildren get active and provide routes for commuters.

Estimating the direct, indirect and multiplier effects, the UW could reach close to $52 million in economic impact on Knox, Anderson and Grainger counties if it were to become a national destination.

Kellogg said that the AMBC is dedicated to supporting the UW by building, maintaining and using trails. “We are diggers and we are doers,� he said.

government Stirring up trouble Shopper columnist Victor Ashe got a few folks upset with his prediction last week that West Hills residents would get the sidewalk they requested with a 7:30 a.m. walk on Sheffield Drive from Wesley Road to West Hills Elementary School on Vanosdale. Ashe pointed to safety concerns and support from three members of City Council: Vice Mayor Duane Grieve, George Wallace and Marshall Stair. State Rep. Martin Daniel wrote council members in support of the project, drawing fire from at least two who resented the interference. “Tell Martin and Victor that they should go to England if they want to represent the privileged class. No landed gentry here,� wrote Nick Della Volpe. And Mark Campen wrote: “I’m all for sidewalks and understand the obvious need for one in this area, but if all it takes to move a particular area up the priority list is having an organized walk and having the media show up, I’ll have the TV cameras rolling in the fifth next week! “There are some particularly dangerous areas in Inskip where kids walk along sections of road that could really use sidewalks too, as it is in every district.�

Sandra Clark No comments yet from Mayor Madeline Rogero or the remaining four council members: Brenda Palmer, Nick Pavlis, Daniel Brown and Finbarr Saunders. ■Jim McIntyre being hired by UT to teach educational leadership is like bringing Captain Bligh from HMS Bounty around to teach seamanship. Lauren Hopson could play the role of Fletcher Christian, who led the mutiny. When the new school board takes office in September, just two of nine members will NOT be former teachers. Until Mike McMillan, I can’t remember another former teacher serving on the board. A school principal should represent and advocate for her teachers to the superintendent and policy makers, not passively impose mandates from people who have never been in a classroom. Until McIntyre understands why he lost Knox County Schools he should not be training future administrators. What was UT thinking?

A killing at Danny Mayfield Park With some exceptions, mostly when writing obituary columns, I try to avoid using the pronoun I on this page. But sometimes there’s no way around it. This week is one of those times. When posts started appearing on my Facebook feed Saturday-before-last announcing that another Knoxville child had been shot by gangbangers, all I could think was, Dear God, not again. The story kept getting worse as the blanks got filled in. This victim was 12 years old and a cousin of Zaevion Dobson, the Fulton High School sophomore who became a national hero last December after he died while trying to shield two neighborhood girls from a burst of gunfire aimed at kids sitting on a friend’s porch. This time, the victim’s name was JaJuan Latham. He and his father had attended a celebrity basketball game dedicated to Zaevion that evening, and afterward they’d stopped to pick up one of JaJuan’s friends who was attending a cookout. JaJuan was sitting in his daddy’s car when the bullets started flying. Early reports said it happened on Moses Street. Later information was a fist in the gut: Danny Mayfield Park. Danny Mayfield was re-

Betty Bean lentlessly exuberant, selfdisciplined, faith-driven and so optimistic that he thought he could do anything he put his mind to – even beat bone cancer. More than anything, he dedicated his life to saving kids. If that sounds melodramatic, tough. That’s who he was. He’d come here from New Jersey to attend Knoxville College, met a girl named Melissa on the bus to Knoxville, married her and had two children, finished school and lived the rest of his life in Mechanicsville, within blocks of the barren little acre that would be named for him after he was dead. He and Chris Woodhull founded a street ministry called Tribe One, which was dedicated to saving young people from the dangers of the street. I got to know him shortly before he decided to run for City Council. It was considered a major political upset when he was elected at the age of 28, but he was pretty much stymied in office by most of his colleagues, who resented his upstart ways. But he tried. And he cared. And he inspired. His

Danny Mayfield Jr. public suffering brought out the best – and the worst – in people, many of whom banded together to support the young family while a few circled and schemed and looked for ways to take what he had. It was excruciating to watch, but Danny’s faith in God and his fellow humans was unshakable. His gratitude was boundless. One of the speakers at his funeral was a Tribe One alumnus, a young man who described what Danny meant to him. This is part of what he said: “We had just come in from playing basketball, and we were talking about guns, and why do we carry guns. I always had an answer. I said that if I didn’t have a gun on me the night before, I probably would have been dead if I hadn’t shot back.

“Right then, he started crying in the middle of the meeting. I remember it like it was yesterday. Around this time a lot of young dudes were dying and stuff. Our first reaction? We laughed. We were cracking up. Not right in his face, but we said, ‘What’s wrong, dude?’ “And he said he was crying for us. He just wanted us to see, to get the message. ‌ He looked straight at me and said I was who he was crying for. I knew exactly what he meant. He was crying for me, but he was really crying for us all. Today, I get that feeling when I talk to people who don’t see what I see – you want to reach inside of them and turn a knob so they’ll get it.â€? Last week, I visited the makeshift memorial on the corner of College Street and Moses, where balloons and flowers and teddy bears and a little stack of handwritten notes promising never to forget JaJuan and puddles of congealed candle wax are arranged on the sidewalk outside Danny Mayfield Park. Who invented balloons with durable black matte surfaces suitable for writing eulogies to murdered children? And who knew that the park named for Danny would become a killing field? This is not the legacy he worked so hard to leave us.

Get away to St. Helena Two months ago in February, I visited an island that had been on my bucket list for years. It is St. Helena, a British Overseas Territory located in the South Atlantic Ocean between Africa (Angola is 1,200 miles east) and South America (Brazil is 1,800 miles west). St. Helena is best known as the final site for the exile of Napoleon Bonaparte after his defeat at Waterloo in 1815. He lived there until his death in 1821. It is also the home of Jonathan, the world’s oldest known living reptile (a tortoise; more on him later). Just getting there is not easy. There is not yet an operating certified airport. One has been built at great cost but it has not been certified. The only way to travel there was on the RMS St. Helena (the monthly mail ship), which travels from Cape Town, South Africa, to St. Helena. It is a five-day voyage each way. The ship, after leaving passengers and freight at St. Helena, continues north 700 miles to Ascension, which hosts an American air base, and returns a few days later

to St. Helena to return to Cape Town. So I flew by way of London and Munich to Cape Town, arriving a few days before the ship was due to sail. The ship is half freighter and half passenger. But five days in a finite area of space gets old quickly despite good food and efforts to break the routine with games, movies and reading. The ocean was calm both ways as February is summer in the Southern Hemisphere. There is not a harbor, so ships anchor in the ocean and a tender brings the passengers and cargo to shore. If the ocean is too rough, then passengers stay on ship or land but not between. One usually stays on the island for eight days. Time goes quickly as there is much to do. Accommodations range from basic to

quite nice, mostly on a bedand-breakfast basis. There are 4,100 permanent residents and usually about 100 tourists at one time. Only 900 tourists visited in 2015. A governor general is appointed by Queen Elizabeth II on the recommendation of the prime minister. He and an elected council govern the island. I had a car rental to drive on the 80 miles of paved, one-lane roads, which made it easy to get around, but the roads were often steep with sharp turns and curves. Longwood, where Napoleon lived, was a fairly simple house lacking the imperial trappings he had left in France. He was basically under house arrest for the five years he lived there. He could go anywhere on the island if accompanied by British troops (guards). He was buried there in 1821 and his remains were moved to France in 1840. France maintains the empty tomb and house today through a French representative on the island. The tortoise Jonathan is believed to be 184 years old. No one knows for cer-

tain other than he arrived from the Seychelles in the 1880s and was thought to be close to 50 then. He lives in the front yard of Plantation House where the governor general resides. He is well cared for. In fact, he is hand-fed twice weekly by caretakers. Living with him are three much younger tortoises. Other sights include volcanic scenery, whales, dolphins and snorkeling. There is little industry on the island. There are few beaches. Tourism is believed to offer plausible economic vitality but it has a long ways to improve to attract significant numbers. For more information and pictures, go online to sthelenatourism. com and check out the website for the RMS St. Helena, which is rms-st-helena.com For visitors, there is much to discover about Napoleon, hiking and walks, whale and dolphin watching, snorkeling and knowing you are on one of the most remote places on this planet but still in a civilized area under the British crown. Internet is spotty and expensive. Phone service is adequate.

An area of research is honeybees. One of the prohibited items to be imported or carried by arriving passengers is honey. Worldwide, honeybees are disappearing in large numbers. But not in St. Helena where they flourish due to its remoteness. Some believe St. Helena may be the one place that saves honeybees worldwide.

I was helped in anticipating what I would see by Edgar and Lyn Faust, who live in the Hardin Valley area, who had been to St. Helena in the 1970s when they sailed around the world for three years and stopped there. They are the only other folks from here who I know have been there. If you know of others, do share the information with me.

The Infertility Journey

Mother’s Day Mammography Special

If getting pregnant has been a challenge for you and your partner, you are not alone. Ten to 15 percent of couples in the United States are dealing with infertility due to a single cause or a combination of factors. Coping can be extremely difďŹ cult and the emotional burden is considerable. If you are having this experience, we invite you to attend our new support group. While we can’t always change our circumstances, we can hopefully change the effect they have on us.

Early detection of breast cancer with mammography means that treatment can be started earlier in the course of the disease, possibly before it’s spread. Make it a point to have a mammogram annually, even if you have no signs or symptoms. Call us and schedule your mammogram on the days listed below and enjoy special pampering and a gift.

Tubman on the $20: Money and politics Everyone complains about money in politics. Republicans object to the money funneled into campaigns from big labor. Democrats complain about money coming in from big business. Lately, folks in both political parties complain about so-called super PACs and their billionaire donors. We’re used to money in politics. Last week, we learned there can even be politics in money. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew announced that Harriet Tubman will replace President Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill. With that, the Obama administration is playing shrewd politics. Harriet Tubman lived an incredible life. Born a slave, Tubman escaped slavery through sheer wit and with the help of the Underground Railroad. Tubman later worked to guide others to freedom, earning the name

Scott Frith

“Moses� for leading an exodus of slaves to the North. During the Civil War, Tubman served as a Union spy and assisted American troops in defeating the Confederacy. If that weren’t enough, Tubman went on to participate in the women’s suffrage movement and lived to the ripe old age of 91. There are few greater American stories than Harriet Tubman’s. Without question, Tubman’s life merits honor on U.S. currency. Contrast the life and accomplishments of Harriet Tubman with the life and presidency of Andrew Jackson.

Andrew Jackson was a Tennessean, hero of the War of 1812, and a populist who threw the eastern establishment out of the White House. Yet other parts of his legacy make him an easy target. First, Andrew Jackson was a slave owner. Second, Jackson, in violation of federal law, forced the removal of Native Americans from their eastern lands to the frontier west. This “Trail of Tears� is often cited by historians as an American genocide and resulted in the deaths of thousands of Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek and Seminole. These stains on Andrew Jackson’s legacy make him a perfect foil for the Obama administration in an election year. African-Americans make up a significant portion of the Democratic party’s base. What better way to en-

courage African-American supporters than replacing a slave owner on the $20 bill with a freed slave? It’s good politics. Even better, some have even used the new $20 bill to criticize Donald Trump. President Jackson was a hot-headed populist who sought to overturn the established order. The same is often said of Trump. The Obama administration, by highlighting Jackson, not only encourages its own base, but also takes a notso-veiled shot at the favorite for the Republican nomination. Trump refuses to be outdone. Playing to the strengths of his candidacy, Trump calls the currency change mere “political correctness.� It may be. Of course, in an election year, everything is political. Scott Frith is a local attorney. You can visit his website at pleadthefrith.com

Bikers in South Knox It was an awesome sight as a hundred bicyclists mounted up for a early-evening ride. The city has lined off a wide bike path on Sevier Avenue and biking enthusiasts hosted the ride to thank city officials. Pictured here are council members Finbarr Saunders and George Wallace. Also present were Mark Campen and Marshall Stair. Nick Pavlis was at a celebration for the Urban Wilderness at Ijams Nature Center. Photo by S. Clark

News from Mission of Hope

Breaking the cycle of poverty

Mission of Hope: one kid at a time By Anne Hart

When Knoxville-based Mission of Hope awards its college scholarships to graduating seniors in poverty-stricken rural Appalachia, it is giving far more than money. It is offering what the organization’s own name promises: hope. Hope for the future of the student, for their families, and, for many of those students, for the communities to which they choose to return with new-found knowledge and skills that can help lift that area out of the darkness to a brighter future. Each of the new scholarship students is teamed up with a mentor to help guide them along the way. The mentors support their protĂŠgĂŠs in a wide variety of ways, depending on the needs of the particular student, but the bond is a strong one. Mentor Cindy Lloyd describes her role as “an opportunity to be a support or connection for someone who is perhaps the ďŹ rst in their family to attend college and is willing to work unbelievably hard to get that college degree. “These are kids who don’t know how college works, and many of them start from behind because they don’t have some of the classes or knowledge that they need to compete in a college setting.â€? Lloyd has mentored four of the Mission of Hope scholarship recipients over the years. One of them is Haley Davis, now in her second semester at Roane State Community College. “Sometimes Cindy will text me ‘Hope you are OK,’â€? Haley says. “It just brightens my day. She is so sweet. All of the Mission of Hope people are so sweet and caring – every single one of them.â€? Haley grew up in Halls and attended Halls Middle School. After a move

to Speedwell, Tenn., she started her sophomore year at Cumberland Gap High School. During her senior year, looking for funds to help her get to college, she found an application form for a Mission of Hope scholarship posted at her school. “I sent in the form and then they interviewed me and I was so nervous, and I really didn’t think I would get it,â€? she recalls. “When they announced it at the school banquet I was so surprised and so happy.â€? At a later Mission of Hope banquet, all 13 of the scholarship recipients were surprised and overjoyed when each received a laptop computer, a printer and a college-speciďŹ c backpack ďŹ lled with other gifts. Haley’s backpack included a gas card, which she says came in especially handy as she navigates the roads between home, school and her job as a cashier at the Save-A-Lot store in LaFollette. “I drive a lot,â€? she says. “My gas bill is horrible.â€? Haley is majoring in chemistry. “I want to go into the medical ďŹ eld and I’m really interested in neurology, particularly in dementia and Alzheimer’s, because I would like to be able to help people with those diseases.â€? But with a degree in chemistry, there are also other options. “I just toured the Oak Ridge National Labs and thought it was really cool. I think it would be great to get into anything that is chemistry-related.â€? Haley is a hard worker. While other college students may take the summer off, she isn’t one of them. “I actually have a summer class I need to take to keep me from falling behind, and I have just enough funds from Mission of Hope to do that. Isn’t that awesome? They are helping me so much.â€?

Mentor Cindy Lloyd, who works closely with Mission of Hope staffer Diane Webster to be sure the scholarship students are getting the help each needs, describes the program’s tremendous success this way: “We don’t just say ‘Here’s the money and good luck.’ We say ‘Here’s the money and here’s my hand and my help.’ It’s not just a scholarship; it’s a relationship.� And the relationship is working well. Close to 100 scholarships have been granted to date, and the program’s success rate is above the national average.

As Mission of Hope’s director, Emmette Thompson, puts it, “We are breaking the cycle of poverty, one kid at a time.� Mission of Hope’s scholarships, as are all of its programs throughout the year, are made possible entirely through donations, and the need is always great.

From 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Thursday, April 28, Rami’s will donate 10 percent of sales to The Manor at Northgate Terrace.

The Manor offers two meals daily, weekly cleaning and laundry service, personal checks on residents, a personal emergency response system and many other amenities. Teresa Lawson is the supportive services coordinator at The Manor. “I eat at Rami’s at least once every couple of weeks,” she said. “I was there with a Manor advisory committee member for lunch one day discussing fundraising. We decided to approach the owner, Basel Natour, and ask if he would consider helping.” Natour has owned Rami’s since January 2015. He says he was excited to help. “I like to step out and support worthy causes in my community. This is our third fundraiser. It helps us, and it helps the causes we support.”

Taylor

Barbara Stone has lived at The Manor for the past year. “I have made a lot of friends there,” she said. “I have had some health issues and been through chemo. I don’t have to worry about cooking, and the staff has taken really good care of me.” Even with residents paying much of the cost, help is always needed to fund the facility. Lawson says that supportive services

are not covered under HUD or public housing. With limited income, residents cannot afford the full cost of the services The Manor provides. Natour and Lawson hope the community will rally around the residents and support them by bringing family and friends to enjoy a wonderful meal at Rami’s tomorrow (April 28). Rami’s Café is at 3553 North Broadway. Event info: 403-1410, ext. 1411.

Folks of a certain age will really appreciate Bob Arnold’s first book, “Through Orange Colored Glasses: Memories of a Big Orange Fan.” Arnold saw his first game on Oct. 15, 1960, when Tennessee beat Alabama 20-7 on Shields-Watkins Field. As a resident of Dayton, Tenn., Arnold was especially proud of his hometown star, quarterback Andy Kelly, and his contributions to the Vols. Bob colored his van orange and white; he wore the school’s colors often; and he kept notes of virtually every game he watched. His book is a diary, chronicling his feelings through the ebbs and flows of the more than 50 seasons he watched the football Vols compete, according to a press release. Bob had professional assistance from historian Tom Mattingly and editor Martha Rose Woodward. “Bob is an exceptional fan,” said Mattingly. “It is not enough to say he is a

Years of fun draw fathers and sons to Lake Forest Presbyterian event By Kelly Norrell Lucas Kelley, 26, a doctoral student in history at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, will soon drive to Knoxville for one of his favorite events – the annual Father-Son Camp hosted May 20-22 by Lake Forest Presbyterian Church. Kelley and his dad, Knoxville attorney Michael Kelley, will join about 54 other fathers and sons at the John Knox Center on Watts Bar Lake near Kingston, and relax with fellowship and fun. They will enjoy swimming, fishing, boating, skiing, shooting baskets, and playing softball and volleyball. There will be a Saturday afternoon softball game and a group devotional Sunday morning before they all drive home. “When I was little, I would look forward to tubing and jumping off rocks in the lake. But now I mostly look forward to talking and spending time with people,� said Lucas, who has attended the event since he was 6. Begun by the Lake Forest Presbyterian more than 35 years ago, the camp offers an easy way for fathers and sons to have fun together and get to know their con-

All Souls Knoxville: seeking the peace of the city By Carol Z. Shane The Rev. Doug Banister of All Souls Knoxville says, “Our mission is from Jeremiah 29:7 – ‘We seek the peace of the city.’� The church, which meets weekly on Market Square, is dedicated to enriching the lives of Knoxville’s innercity and homeless population. Banister points out that the biblical word for peace – “shalom� – refers to wholeness, health, completion or fullness. “Knoxville is a wonderful city with so many opportunities to serve,� he says. Rather than create its own programs, the church supports “the outstanding existing ministries that serve the ‘shalom gaps’ in our city.� With its “10 to the City� tithing program, All Souls provides financial support to such groups as the Emerald Youth Foundation and Amachi, which provides mentoring to kids who have at least one parent incarcerated in federal or state prison. Church members are also actively involved as volunteers, and Banister is right in the middle of all of it. “I call him ‘Mr. Ubiquity,’� says All Souls member G. Turner Howard, “because he’s all over the place all the time.�

Four days later, a 12-year-old was gunned down at a birthday party.� Banister later heard from a friend that two local gangs were at war. “We really pray into the city because we think it’s important,� says Howard, referring to the church members’ regular “urban monastic� practice of gathering to “pray the hours,� sometimes at members’ The Rev.

camp is the opportunity to unplug, escape daily activities and enjoy fellowship. “My son Daniel, age 7, went tubing for the first time last year, and he caught his first fish,� said Curtis. The event has its own mythology. There was the year a boy got a fishing lure stuck in his cheek. (Dads were able to solve the problem.) Another year, Michael Kelley broke a rib when a boat pulled him as he lay on a piece of plywood. The Kelleys say they wouldn’t miss a year if they can help it. “I think in today’s world, we are so scattered and distracted that this is kind of an oasis for dads and sons,� said Michael Kelley. “In this weekend, we get to put away all our distractions and do something together. It’s important to have that time together.� Info: lakeforestpc.org

On a recent April morning I looked out our kitchen window toward the west and saw a sky that was bloodred. It was both beautiful and frightening, and odd, I thought, for the western sky to be red in the morning. It reminded me of the old saw, “Red sky at morning, sailor take warning.� It also reminded me of a story my mother used to tell of a morning long before I was born. One winter morning, a neighbor left his house to milk his cows and saw the aurora borealis streaking up the northern sky. He apparently didn’t know about the northern lights and was certain that it forebode the end of the world. I think it was my grandfather, who lived across the road from him, who assured him that there was nothing to fear. It was unusual, to be sure, for the aurora to be so

I believe we need to be thoughtful about the future of our homes, our land, our nation, our dear little world. I believe.

Traveling theater troupe entertains at Book Fest By Carolyn Evans

Bright Star Touring Theatre performs “Upcycled Cinderella” at the Farragut Book Fest for Children April 9.

S.O.R. Losers

David Ostergaard is an Emmywinning actor whose work has been seen at Cannes Film Festival. And in the last three weeks, the kids of Farragut have had the opportunity to see three of his theater productions. Thanks to the town of Farragut, the community has been treated to three plays: two at the Farragut Book Fest for Children on April 9 and the third at the Farragut Museum April 24. “They were a huge hit at the book fest,” says Chelsey Riemann, for the town of Farragut. As a matter of fact, they were such a hit that the town has wasted no time – Bright Star, one of the largest professional touring theatre companies in the country, is already scheduled for next year’s book fest. In “Upcycled Cinderella,” two actors donned recycled materials to demonstrate the benefits of recycling. “We definitely appreciated the ‘festival’ spirit of everyone at the fair,” says Ella Smith, who played Cinderella. I felt like a Renais-

CHAPTER FOUR: Story So Far: S.O.R’s special soccer team loses their first game, 32-0, but must prepare for their second game Next morning when I walked into my classroom, on the board it read: 32–0! “Who wrote that?” I wanted to know. Ms. Appleton, my homeroom teacher, looked at the numbers as if she hadn’t noticed them before. “I have no idea. Does it mean something?” “Sort of,” I admitted, going right to my desk. “Aren’t you going to tell me?” “I’d rather not.” The rest of the class came in. Every time one of my teammates showed up — four in my room, Saltz, Porter, Lifsom and Hays — they looked up, saw the board, then lowered their eyes.

Class came to order. “Ms. Appleton, what’s that mean?” asked one of the girls, the gifted, talented and excessively beautiful Lucy Neblet. “I have no idea. Edward seems to know, but he’s not telling. Or will you?” I hadn’t enjoyed losing the day before. But except for learning what I’d known already, that sports were not my thing, I hadn’t wasted a lot of grief. Yet when Lucy Neblet asked her question, all of a sudden I felt bad. Like I had done something wrong. I looked at Saltz, who sat next to me. He ignored me. “Edward?” persisted Ms. Appleton. I said, “Our special soccer team — first game — we lost by that score.” “Thirty-two to nothing?” hooted Hamilton, who was all-universe at everything. From somewhere in the back of the room

Bright Star, based in Asheville, is in its 14th season. The touring company has four fulltime employees who write the plays (each about 45 minutes long), direct them, make the costumes and advertise. They’ve crisscrossed the country – performing at the National Theatre in Washington, D.C., the Seattle Space Needle, in theaters overlooking the Manhattan skyline, in school cafeterias in South Carolina and in museums in Cape Cod. “We hire professional actors to come rehearse with us here in Asheville,” Schmidt says. “We give them three different scripts and they travel around the country.” Ostergaard, founder and owner, experienced a lot of bullying when he was in school, Schmidt says. “He wanted to do some antibullying plays, but it’s blossomed into all kinds of plays. Right now have six shows touring at the same time and from fall 2016 to fall 2017 we will probably have had about 40 actors who worked for us.”

sance actor, walking around the fair in my long dress and hat, talking to the kids. The audience was very involved and appreciative. It felt like a success!” Next they performed “The Reluctant Dragon,” the story of a misunderstood dragon who terrorizes the townspeople. But a young boy steps in to show the others that he’s really friendly. The moral: you can’t judge a book by its cover. “Jack’s Adventures in American History,” sponsored by the Farragut Museum as part of the Dogwood Arts Festival, was performed in the Town Hall boardroom April 24. The audience watched as Jack crammed for his upcoming history test. When his history book magically burst open, Jack met some of the most exciting people in our nation’s history. George Washington, Ben Franklin, Henry Ford and Neil Armstrong were among the 22 characters that came to life in the high-energy adventure. Audience volunteers helped write the Constitution, work on Ford’s assembly line and even demand the right to vote.

came a giggle. Laughs. A grand old time, except for the five of us who were on the team. I felt lower than a mole hole. “I’m sure you’ll do better next time,” said Ms. Appleton. “They couldn’t do worse!” bellowed Hamilton. The bell clanged, and we started history, my favorite subject. It was then that we got to pick our project partner’s name out of a hat. Who should I get but Lucy Neblet. Rather, she got me, because she pulled out my name. Naturally, I didn’t want to show that it was amazingly fantastic with me, but I was sky high. I couldn’t have cared less about soccer. Then, in the lunchroom, a couple of people came up to me — Saltz and I were talking about Lucy — and these guys asked me if it was true about the game. “Yeah, sure,” I said, like Don’t bother me. But it meant word was getting around. Sure enough, from then on, all during lunch, I had this feeling that people were looking over at me and giggling. More than once I’m sure I heard “thirty-two–zip.” I tried to ignore it. Then this big eighth grader came up to me. “Hey, superstar, this is for you.” He handed me a note. I expected the worst until I saw it was a message. I was to see Mr. Lester. Mr. Lester was in his classroom, alone. I glanced at his desk. Usually it was loaded with history books. The American Civil War was his thing. It was neat to hear him talk about it. This time all I saw were soccer books. That upset me. He was taking things seriously. Sure enough, took on a solemn expression. “I hope you weren’t too troubled about yesterday,” he said. “No way,” I said. “Why should I be?” But I sensed that I was being pushed that way. “We took quite a licking.” “Somebody has to lose,” I said. “The Confederates lost.” “Listen, Ed,” he said. “I’ve been studying. We can make adjustments. But that’s not what I wanted to see you about. It’s recommended here — now, where was it . . .” He began to leaf through one of the soccer books. “Oh, it doesn’t matter. What we need — it says — we should have a captain. You would make an admirable one.” He held out his hand to congratulate me. “You are our captain.” “Me?” “You’re our best player. You can set an example.” “Me. The best?” “I saw you block a shot.” I felt like saying that (1) it had been an accident and (2) I didn’t even remember doing it. Instead, I went out of the room feeling positively sick. Me. Best player. Captain . . . Good grief. The thought of a slow jog through Death Valley at high noon was much more appealing. That night, to set my mind straight, I called Lucy. We had a long talk about our project. Well, rock bands, mostly, but we began about the project. Then I called Saltz and had a long conversation about my long conversation with Lucy.

There were still some nice places in my life. Next day Mr. Lester called an extra practice. No one wanted to go. It meant giving up our one free period. We had no choice. As it turned out, it was really a nice day, sort of golden warm, so it wasn’t bad to be outside. Mr. Lester led us to a place where no one could watch us. “Now, gentlemen,” he said, “we have to think about this game more seriously.” Saltz shot up his hand. “Yes, Saltz?” “Why do we have to take it seriously?” Mr. Lester blinked. “Because . . . we do. There’s nothing wrong with losing. It’s just that we shouldn’t lose by so much.” “Isn’t a mile as good as a miss?” asked Hays. Mr. Lester grew quiet. We waited for an answer. “It’s a question of attitude,” he began. “During the American revolutionary war, Americans lost lots of battles, but they didn’t give up.” “Could you give us an example?” I asked, taking my job as a team captain to heart for the first time. Mr. Lester perked up. “Well, yes, many of them. Consider the Battle of Bunker Hill . . .” He told us how the Americans got their fort set up at night. How the British came by boat. How they stormed up the hill and what our side did. “Don’t shoot till you see the whites of their eyes!” It was nifty the way he told it. When he was done, he said, “So you see, even though the Americans retreated, it was, in a way, a great victory.” “Anything like that happen during the Civil War?” I wanted to know. “Actually, the Battle of Gettysburg was one in which no one truly won either, but because of that . . .” He was off again, maybe even better than the first time around. We stayed put, happy to let him talk while the sun grew warm. By the time General Lee retreated, the hour was almost gone. He suddenly looked at his watch. “My goodness,” he said. “We’ve used up most of our time.” “What about the Spanish-American War?” asked Root quickly. Mr. Lester blinked. I felt for him. I could see he really wanted to tell us. Instead, with a sigh, he said, “Why don’t you run around the field a couple of times.” That was okay. We pulled ourselves up and began to trot around at an easy, lazy pace. We did it twice and then came back to where Mr. Lester was waiting for us. “Now what?” asked Barish. “World War Two,” offered Dorman. Mr. Lester, however, checked his watch. Even as he did, we could hear the bell for class. We sprang up and ran back to school. It was computer lab time and no one wanted to miss that. As we went, I looked back over my shoulder. There was Mr. Lester standing under the tree, a bag of soccer balls on the ground. I almost felt sorry for him. I’ll say one thing though; it was the most interesting practice we had all season.

News from Attorney Rebecca Bell Jenkins

In Rebecca Bell Jenkins’ law practice,

it’s all about family

By Anne Hart Few words in the English language evoke stronger emotions than this: family. Your family members are the ones you want to protect throughout life in every way possible. No one can help you do that more successfully than an experienced family attorney. Every family should have one. Rebecca Bell Jenkins is a family attorney with a practice that covers virtually every aspect of family law from birth to death and beyond. With offices in Franklin Square on Kingston Pike in West Knoxville and on Emory Road in Powell, Bell Jenkins has been in the practice of law since 1995, and has gained recognition as an experienced practitioner in the field of family law.

Family law advocacy The practice of family law has become increasingly important to our everyday lives as more and more families are faced with the realities of divorce and post divorce issues, including matters of spousal support, child support and parenting plan issues. Family law is not limited to divorce issues, but it also includes custody and child support issues for those persons who never married, but who have children together, and those matters are addressed through the Juvenile Court system. Juvenile Court is also the court in which issues regarding the well being of children are brought even when there is no divorce. Family law focuses on practically any area of the law that concerns persons and their family relationships. Legal separations and adoptions are family law issues as well. None of us is trained to handle these matters, and so we look to local attorney

Rebecca Bell Jenkins, a skilled legal practitioner with a focus on family law.

Returning to court Bell Jenkins reminds us that even after a divorce becomes final it is not at all uncommon for persons to return to court. Sometimes court mandated spousal support or child support is not paid in a timely manner or at all. Parenting plans may not be followed by one of the parents or there may be “substantial and material change of circumstances” and one or both parents may seek to modify the parenting plan. “Post divorce issues often come up,” Bell Jenkins says. These are all matters that Bell Jenkins, who has offices in both West Knoxville and Powell and has been licensed to practice law since 1995, deals with daily. She says family law deals with personal issues over which people usually become extremely emotional. “In our practice we know that it is extremely important to really listen to our clients. “For each client in our office, their case is the most important one in the world. We know this, and we pride ourselves on listening carefully and also on making certain that they understand every aspect of their case and how it will be handled. “This is the most productive way to have the desired legal outcome.”

Have estate planning documents ready Bell Jenkins also represents clients in other matters that can impact the entire family, such as personal injury cases and even criminal misdemeanors when family members make bad choices. Another vital part of

Attorney Rebecca Bell Jenkins

the practice of family law is estate planning, which involves three critical documents: ■ A will, which everyone 18 years or older who has assets and/or children should have; ■ A Power of Attorney document, which specifies who can make decisions for you on health care and/or financial matters if you become incapacitated; and ■ A Living Will, which states whether heroic measures should be taken to save your life in certain life-threatening situations and also communicates whether you wish to be an organ donor. Bell Jenkins reminds us that, “It is critically important that we all have in place our will and power of attorney. “We never know when these documents will be needed, so it is incumbent upon us all to have them ready.” While the reasons for

a will seem obvious, Bell Jenkins says having the document can serve to prevent family squabbles and also avert the unnecessary expenditures required if the courts are asked to make final a determination on the division of property. “A power of attorney is also a necessary and invaluable tool in the event an individual becomes mentally incapacitated and unable to handle their own affairs,” she says. “If you become mentally incompetent without a power of attorney document in place, no one can legally act in your behalf in financial, business and health-related matters. Your loved ones will have to file a petition for conservatorship with the court in order to handle your affairs or to make heath care decisions for you. “Again, it is critical to have this document in place, because once a person becomes incompetent,

Rebecca Bell Jenkins, Attorney at Law Suite 202 in Franklin Square 9724 Kingston Pike

691-2211 534 W. Emory Road, Powell by appointment only

it is too late to appoint a power of attorney; the court will not approve it, so don’t wait too long. “A conservatorship is time-consuming and expensive as it moves through the courts. It is much easier to see an attorney now and have these two critical documents drawn up than to have your loved ones deal with the court system. The two documents no one should be without are a will and a power of attorney. Bell Jenkins states that if a person wants to have a power of attorney in place, but currently is still able to handle his/her own affairs, then the power of attorney can be written to go into effect only when the person becomes incompetent. The power of attorney can provide that the person’s competency can be determined by his/ her treating physician.

Rule 31 mediator Bell Jenkins is also a Rule 31 Listed Family Law Mediator. In many situations this allows her to serve as an independent third party in discussions between the two parties and their attorneys as they attempt to work out their differences without going to court. This form of mediation allows the two sides of an issue to reach an agreement without the time and legal expense involved in going to court, and without the possibility of having a judge issue a ruling that suits neither party. The law offices of Rebecca Bell Jenkins are available to serve your family’s legal needs, including adoption and personal injury cases. Please call the central telephone number – 6912211 – which serves both the West Knoxville office and the Powell office.

‘Big Game Show Night’

Ed Barry, manager of Elder’s Ace Hardware in South Knoxville, stands with a display of Toro mowers.

Photo by S. Clark

Elder’s Ace is great fit for South Knox By Sandra Clark Residents are walking into the new Elder’s Ace Hardware and asking, “Where have you been?� Manager Ed Barry says it is a good question. “Business has been awesome since we opened.� Elder’s Ace, based in Chattanooga, moved into the Knoxville market with a store at Dixie Lee Junction in 2000, which has been managed by Terry House for the past 12 years. Three years later, Elder’s Ace opened a new location in Halls. Manager Joe Rut-

ter has been there since day one, and his family is now ingrained in the community. Elder’s Ace followed with stores in Bearden and in the Broadway Shopping Center. The Chapman Highway store was planned as the market’s fifth location, but Elder’s believes it’s got as much potential as its other stores. South Knoxville is “on fire� since the re-opening of the Henley Bridge and the development underway on the waterfront. Barry pointed to a solid line of

cars streaming past his store. Elder’s Ace Hardware is at 4219 Chapman Highway, adjacent to KARM and United Grocery Outlet in the center at Young High Pike. Szechuan Garden Chinese Restaurant is immediately to the north. Hours are 7:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 10-6 on Sunday. Barry said the store employs 15 helpful folks. Inventory includes both commercial and residential Toro mowers, Stihl power equipment, Big Green Egg grills and Yeti coolers. There are

live plants, Benjamin Moore paint, home dĂŠcor and one of the best selections of fasteners in town. In fact, everything you would expect in an old-time hardware store is present, except perhaps two old guys playing checkers on a pickle barrel. The stores are named for the late Elder Glenn, who founded the 19-store chain with a store opened in 1969. The company has been a member of the 5,000-store Ace Hardware cooperative since its founding and describes Ace as its most important business partner.

Spotlight on Terra Madre clay artists By Carol Z. Shane It’s Terra Madre time again in East Tennessee, and pottery enthusiasts are looking forward to the organization’s popular spring show and sale. This year, fine clay pieces from the Terra Madre artists can be seen in two locations: Tellico Village Yacht Club and, as part of the Dogwood Arts Festival, Market Square. Founded in 2000 by regional female ceramic artists and now affiliated with many juried and professional arts organizations, Terra Madre is a juried group of women clay artists whose mission is to support each other as artists and as women. Their works are found in galleries, shops, juried finecraft shows and fairs all over the country, as well as in private collections. The group exhibits in two to three shows annually, and this weekend is one of those not-to-be-missed times. Featured clay artists include Judy Brater, Karen Briggs, Jane Cartwright, Pat Clapsaddle, Carolyn Cooper, Candy FinleyBrooks, Liz Howell, Lisa Kurtz, Karyn Kyte, Janice Lewis, LeAnn Lewis, Sandra McEntire, Bett McLean, Jackie Mirzadeh, Wendy Mosca, Kristi O’Connell,

This colorful bowl by clay artist Rikki Taylor is available for purchase this weekend at the Terra Madre: Women in Clay Spring Pottery Show and Sale. Photo submitted

Marion Schlauch, Rose Spurrier, Shauna Stevens, Rikki Taylor and Debbie Whelan. Among them, there’s a wide range of styles and types of clay art. “I specialize in majolica pottery,� says Clapsaddle. “The majority of my ceramic work is thrown and assembled terra cotta clay. The surface work is handpainted majolica on black and red grounds with sgraffito contour lines. The subjects range from faces, animals/fish/birds/insects to landscapes, flowers and still-life.� Kurtz says, “My pottery is inspired by my love of the material. Texture is a big part of my work. I like to combine wheel-thrown and hand-built forms to make my functional pottery, sculpture and clay wall art.� Pharmacist Janice Lewis “got into pottery because I’ve always wanted to learn

how to throw, and it helped me decompress from my job.� She specializes in whimsical “face� mugs and macrocrystalline glazes, which develop halos and starburst designs as the pieces are fired in a kiln. Taylor has 40 years’ experience in ceramics. One of her pieces, “Running Man,� is in the Renwick Gallery, a branch of the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, D.C. She says, “The best part of my work is the smiles it brings to the faces of my customers.� And McLean uses “colored slips in gray, black and blue as a base� for her functional pieces. “Into these colors I carve designs of birds and plants,� she says. “I would call my designs illustrative rather than realistic. The final look is one color with the carvings in white.�

The Spring Pottery Show and Sale is from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, April 30, at Tellico Village Yacht Club in Loudon. Terra Madre artists will also be featured at various times on Market Square in downtown Knoxville. Info on Facebook.

The Rotary Club of Bearden is bringing “The Big Game Show Nightâ€? to Knoxville – an evening for companies to recognize and celebrate their employees as they enjoy a gourmet meal, raffle prizes and being contestants and audience members as the various game shows are played. The event is 6:30 p.m. Friday, May 20, at Bearden Banquet Hall. The club is selling tables for 10 at $1,300 per table, and only 26 tables are available. The club already has sold a number of tables. “It’s limited seating, and if a company is interested in doing it then they need to go ahead and do it now,â€? says Bearden Rotarian Richard Bettis, the event’s cochair (along with Dick Hinton). If your company wants to buy a table or you need more information, call Bettis at 865-228-1523. “My church (Northstar Church) did this and it was a great evening of fun, and everybody loved it and had a great time,â€? Bettis said. “We’ll be selling raffle tickets during the evening, and we already have a full set of tires from Fisher Tire as one big prize.â€? Led by “The Big Game Showâ€? company from Atlanta, it will be fast-paced and high-energy, with lots of audience participation and prizes, he added. The club’s goal is to raise $20,000 to support a variety of local and international projects – including Flu Shot Saturday, Mobile Meals, the Dictionary Project for all Knox County third-grade students, the Pond Gap Elementary School playground project, the Heart to Heart project in Mexico, Polio Plus and more. â–
