IN THIS ISSUE

Chris and Teresa Wilson drove their very rare two-door 1955 Bel Air Nomad station wagon from their home in Harlan County, Kentucky. Note the drive-in tray hanging on the window. It has realistic food props of a burger and fries, a banana sundae and a coke. The car is named Norma, and they’re working on a Shasta camper to match the car, which will be named Jean.

UT response to stadium issues In last week’s Shopper, Nate Harrison offered what he hoped was constructive criticism about miscommunications, first-aid delays, gate rules set in concrete and two fans who blocked his view and wouldn’t sit down.

As promised, I asked Chris Fuller, UT senior associate athletics director for all external operations, including communications, sales and marketing, tickets and special events, for a response.

Maynardville city manager Jack Rhyne is moving on with dreams and schemes for making Maynardville a better place to live.

He and the Downtown Revitalization Committee have their eye on a parcel of property just north of the courthouse on Ailor Drive, where North Fork Bull Run Creek meanders through the old farm just off Main Street.

Plans were drawn up pro bono

by a firm in Nashville to give the idea form.

“This is just a preliminary plan,” says Rhyne. “This location is a suggestion and the layout can be changed. This gives us something to discuss.

“A creek goes through the grounds and a spring on the property could have a picnic area by it.

“We could have a splash pad, a skate park, horseshoe pits – all that could be added over time.

“We have a good opportunity to get half the money needed to build a park through a Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation grant, and the rest could come from in-kind contributions.

“But I’m not interested in doing this unless there is a full time director responsible for our parks – someone who is given real strong authority and who can make sure the upkeep and maintenance are done.”

Rhyne recently attended a workshop for rural town planners at Montgomery Bell State Park, where they showed a nice

sports park in a small town that, for lack of oversight, had turned into weeds surrounded by torn-up fences.

The walking trail in front of the high school is well on its way to reality. The plan has been detailed and Rhyne thinks a start date on excavation will be soon.

Another idea in Jack’s crosshairs is a combined city museum/ visitor center/Chamber office downtown.

“All of this will take time. We just need to get the momentum going,” he says.

opinion Jersey Mike’s boosts Knox Y Jersey Mike’s Subs has boosted summer programming for YMCA of East Tennessee through money raised by a five-day grandopening promotion at its new West Knox location.

Ryan Wood, managing partner, presented a check for $5,067 to Y leaders last week. It will be used to fund swim lessons and tuition for summer day camp.

“Approximately 100 kids will be helped with the tuition for camp and 60 young people will benefit from the lifesaving skill of swim lessons with the money donated by Jersey Mike’s,” said Lori Humphreys, executive director of the YMCA of East Tennessee.

The Y’s “Readers, Dreamers, Believers” summer day camp is open to children in grades K-6 and operates on a children’schoice system that allows campers to select activities of interest to them. Each week is themed around subjects such as sports, nature, the arts, imagination and history.

Jersey Mike’s Subs is at 4839 Kingston Pike and is open 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. every day. Info: 862-8800.

For more information on the Y’s summer camp program visit ymcaknoxville. org or call Lori Humphreys at 548-8707.

Lessons will be offered Monday through Thursday for two weeks (eight lessons). Two sessions are planned. The first session will be July 7-17, and the second session will be July 21-31.

Lessons will be in the afternoon beginning as early as 4:30 p.m. If there is enough interest, morning lessons might be possible.

Spaces are limited.

Interested parents should contact Amanda Roland, aquatics director, 7609 Maynardville Pike, 922-9622 or aroland@ ymcaknoxville.org/.

Good parenting can help keep your teen drug free.

Talk to your teen about drugs.

Only a third of parents talk to their teens about the risks of using drugs and alcohol, despite research showing that kids are less likely to use if parents have these conversations.

Set clear "No-Drug" rules Telling your teen that drugs and alcohol are not allowed – and outlining the consequences for breaking the rules – are important steps to keeping your child drug-free.

Be involved.

Teens whose parents are involved in their lives are less likely to use illicit drugs or alcohol, or to be involved in other risky behaviors. Talk to other parents about their rules and level of involvement, too.

Ask the right questions.

stop Mrs. Ann Crass from introducing the “Weekly Reader” and its fine coverage of the national contest between Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter. Thanks to her passion for politics my classmates and I had many heated debates concerning who was the best candidate.

My first of many great political disappointments was when “I lost my vote” and most of my classmates went to the extreme to “rub it in.”

The 1970s witnessed intense focus on energy conservation. One of the topics was how to recognize the smell of natural gas to detect leaks. TVA gave each student a card that when scratched smelled like natural gas.

The kind of natural gas with which we were familiar differed significantly from what TVA had in

mind, and there was much excitement when several of the students in Mr. Johnson’s homeroom simultaneously scratched their cards and “stunk” Mrs. Crass out of the room.

Half a year of 7thgrade social studies was Tennessee history. We studied how Tennessee became a state, and Mrs. Crass put us in groups to form our own states in 1796 and write its constitution. My group’s state was Dogwood, and as part of its constitution I wrote that anyone driving over 55 mph would be put in jail. It took me a while to figure out why Mrs. Crass asked, “What kind of horse goes that fast?”

Mrs. Crass usually didn’t have a problem when we talked quietly during classwork, but she had one flat rule – like E. F. Hutton, when she talked, we listened! Any malefactor with the audacity to talk when she was speaking received “the look.” This did not happen often, but when it did

Mrs. Crass stopped midword and stared straight at the perpetrator until s/ he literally withered. Then Mrs. Crass continued as if nothing had happened.

Of course, at one point I sat in front of a classmate who had the prettiest natural shade of red hair I to this day have ever seen on any girl. Mrs. Crass was teaching, and this girl tapped me on the shoulder to ask a question. I tried as quietly as possible to answer when I heard DEAD SILENCE – I was receiving “the look!”

After a few eternal seconds, during which I sank as low as I could in my seat, Mrs. Crass continued as though nothing had happened.

I never again saw Mrs. Crass after 7th grade, and sadly this magnificent teacher passed away from cancer while I was in high school. Nowhere else in the ensuing 36 years have I again seen “the look,” but I remember it well!

UT response to stadium issues When I asked Tennessee fans about Neyland Stadium experiences, Nate Harrison surprised me with specific comments.

In last week’s Shopper, Harrison offered what he hoped was constructive criticism about miscommunications, first-aid delays, gate rules set in concrete and two fans who blocked his view and wouldn’t sit down.

As promised, I asked Chris Fuller, UT senior associate athletics director for all external operations, including communications, sales and marketing, tickets and special events, for a response.

Chris is a busy man, but he responded, saying, first of all, it was unusual to receive word of specific problems described by identifiable sources.

“Sounds like several things here, starting with the mailing address, that we could have done better.”

He spoke of good judgment and common sense but also praised the various support groups who are part of a home football game – including different levels of police, ushers and Red Cross workers.

“We work cooperatively but it’s easy to understand how not all are on the same page with all issues, espe-

Marvin West

cially when you’re dealing with 100,000 people.”

Concerning my favorite hot-button issue, Fuller said there is no policy regarding “standing fans.”

If there was one, he said it would be very difficult to enforce.

Fuller invited David Elliott, assistant athletics director for event management, to chime in.

“Chris is correct. We do not have a policy on ‘standing’ and I do not know of any place in college or professional athletics that does. We do ask our ushers to work with a customerfriendly attitude – which it seems they tried to do in talking with the patrons who were standing. We ask that fans try to respect others in their areas. But, as Chris mentioned, it would be an impossible task to try to enforce.”

Elliott said he has received very few complaints about fans standing in seating areas. He does deal with people who become abusive.

He says they are removed so

others around them can enjoy the game.

Harrison wanted to escort his ailing mother-inlaw to their car and return to the stadium. The gate attendant said no way, if you go out, you are out.

Elliott says the SEC has a “no pass-out policy.”

Just guessing but that is probably intended to eliminate halftime trips to cars

for liquid refreshments.

Elliott said that in circumstances such as Harrison reported, gate supervisors are expected to intervene as best they can and make a judgment call.

“Sadly, people try to abuse this situation. However there are times when common sense should dictate response.”

Elliott said first-aid de-

lays are sometimes unavoidable.

“Our event staff does an excellent job in managing 100,000-plus crowds, but with a number like that, incidents happen that do not go as well as we would like.”

He said at early-season afternoon games, emergency workers have sometimes been inundated with calls due to extreme heat and humidity.

“We have had games where we have had 300 treatments.”

I liked Elliott’s attitude.

It matched Fuller’s.

“We try to learn from those incidents and seek ways to improve.”

There was no official UT response to my idea for a standing-fan section, no seats, short people in front, tall fans behind, stand for warmups, National Anthem, the entire game, even intermission, wave both arms non-stop and keep yelling, “Go Vols.”

KARM gets maximum use of space

By Charlie Hamilton We had the privilege of visiting Knox Area Rescue Ministries, otherwise known as KARM.

The KARM mission is located on Broadway in the former location of Beaty Chevrolet. In the early 1990s the car dealership

was rennovated to become the KARM shelter.

KARM supplies rescue services of food and shelter, then healthy supportive re-

Eye-opening visits to KARM and Mobile Meals

By Laken Scott Knoxville Area Rescue Ministries, otherwise known as KARM, is a nonprofit organization that helps people who are homeless or in crisis.

KARM’s men’s overnight shelter has 200 beds, but can sleep more.

KARM has a cafeteria, where they serve more than 1,000 meals a day, 365 days a year. And if you’re worried it might be dirty, with so many people coming inside, don’t be! The staff and volunteers will be proud to show you their 100 score from the Knox County Health Department!

Don’t worry, they haven’t forgotten the women. In fact, Sue Renfro, KARM marketing manager, stated, “Women are the fastest growing segment of homelessness.”

Intern Laken Scott reads goals of participants in the LaunchPoint program at KARM. KARM hosts a women’s lodging area they lovingly call “Hope Haven.”

Hope Haven, which used to have 40 beds, now has 103!

There is also a new women’s community room, which includes magazines, games, tables, chairs, even a private room with a telephone.

KARM also has a four-

week course called Launch Point which, as of now, has about 320 graduates. This course helps students deveop an action plan, establish a support group, and create long- and short-term goals.

There is also the men’s transitional floor, known as “The Bridge.” The Bridge

This provides them lodging while the men find jobs and permanent housing, and surrounds them with volunteers, friends and mentors.

Crossroads Center functions like a hospital’s emergency room. If someone comes inside and needs help, KARM will help them find the information they need and give them an ID card. Although it isn’t a hospital, Crossroads abides by the HIPAA rules, which state that a volunteer or staff member may not divulge information about the person in crisis without their consent.

KARM has helped many people. As we interns toured the facility, a man came up to us and said he felt called to speak: “I came from a life of unhealthy choices ... and what this [KARM] has restored in me is hope.”

homeless, but many in crisis. Also, KARM’s emergency and residential shelters for men, women and families are home to nearly 400 people each night, providing a safe place for those in need.

The men’s floor has 200 beds and can house more on pallet beds if needed.

The women’s floor has been renovated from 40 beds to 103 for women in need. The Crossroads is the welcome center for the homeless and those in need when they first arrive to get help.

They have a new program starting up called The Bridge program for those in transition to a career and steady job. Men in this program live on a floor that has dorms. Also in the KARM building is a career center and classrooms where

people can attend courses to figure out their goals and get their lives back on track.

About 20 percent of those who seek aid at KARM are veterans, and about 30 percent have some form of diagnosed mental illness.

KARM houses mostly men, but the female homeless population has the fastest increasing rate.

Another interesting fact about KARM is that it is not government-funded and runs on donations and profits from the KARM Thrift Stores.

Knoxville is lucky to have an organization that cares for people in their times of need, an organization that works to make the community better. Homelessness is a growing problem, and everyone should help.

Be a volunteer

By Joshua Mode

Do you want to volunteer somewhere, but don’t know which organization to join?

There are many organizations around you that need volunteers!

I participated in one of these organizations: Mobile Meals. This organization welcomes any volunteers able to deliver meals to senior citizens who need it.

Simply saying hello to them not only makes their day better but yours as well.

Being a volunteer is a great way to invest your time and energy to do something good for your area.

If you don’t know any volunteer organizations and are willing to do so, here are some organizations and numbers to find out more:

■ Project Live, helping seniors live independently.

Info: 524-2786 ■ Knox Paws, placing adoptable pets with seniors.

Info: 546-6262 ■ Grand Parents as Parents Program, a program for grandparents raising children. Info: 524-2786 ■ C.H.I.P.S., computers for homebound and isolated seniors. Info: 546-6262 ■ Mobile Meals, delivering meals to seniors. Info: 524-2786 Also, Knox Area Rescue Ministry needs a group willing to sand and refinish eight tables in the women’s community room.

The tables were donated by UT Medical Center when it redid its cafeteria.

This would make a great project for a Scout troop.

The tension headache Chiropractic Outlook

By Dr. Darrell Johnson, DC Tension in the muscles of the neck is one of the leading causes of headache. And who among us is not without tension these days? Some studies show that close to 80 percent of people experience a tension headache.

The tension headache usually starts in the back of the head and then moves forward. Spinalmanipulation, which is the trademark art of the chiropractor, has been shown to be effective in easing the discomfort of the tension headache. The results of a Duke University study released in 2001 showed

that spinal manipulation brought almost immediate improvement in headaches that originated in the neck. The study also showed that manipulation carried with it fewer side effects and longer-lasting relief than did a medication commonly prescribed in such cases.

Neck tension, of course, is not the only factor that can bring on a headache.

Environmental triggers like loud noise and bright lights can cause headache.

And about five percent of all headaches are brought on by some other physical problem. One way to avoid

the tension headache is to get up and stretch every 30 minutes or so if your job or your lifestyle keeps you sedentary or sitting in one position for extended periods. Periodically move your head and neck through a comfortable range of motion to prevent muscles from tightening up. If you are subject to headaches, talk with your chiropractor about ways to prevent them and treat them.

Dylan Berry: A capable guy

By Libby Morgan Dylan Berry, one of three Union County High School 2014 valedictorians, is well on his way to becoming a Renaissance Man. He welds. He hunts. He fishes. He builds. He farms.

He creates. He mows. He raises and trains dogs. He wires houses.

He plays guitar, banjo, harmonica, mandolin and â&#x20AC;&#x153;few little things on piano.â&#x20AC;?

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great conversationalist. He aces academics. And he does it all with a smile.

Come August, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be commuting to classes five days a week at UT. He says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s keeping his future options open. His only problem is going to be choosing from the many things heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interested in and good at doing.

He finds satisfaction in his new job as a do-everything helper around Trinity Funeral Home in Maynardville, where he was hired in May. Dylanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family is the Berry clan in Sharps Chapel, where his dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s siblings live on sizeable parcels of a huge spread on Loop Road.

His mom Jeannie (Tolliver, another Sharps Chapel family â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and her great grandfather was the A.T. Cole) has been a teacher in Union County schools for 24 years, with a long stint at Big Ridge and at Sharps Chapel for the last 14 years.

She says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;You know the kids in a school that small.

All the teachers know all of the students, and we notice any change in behavior. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re close there.

Dylanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kindergarten teacher, Ms. Eldridge, was my kindergarten teacher.â&#x20AC;?

Kaycee Roark, another 2014 valedictorian, and Dylan grew up together at Sharps Chapel, both with teacher /moms there. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kaycee and I kinda had to be valedictorians. We were threatened within an inch of our lives,â&#x20AC;? Dylan jokes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With having a mom and a mamaw (Wilma Tolliver) that were both teachers, I had to make straight Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, and I had to want to learn!â&#x20AC;?

His favorite part of high school was in the trades wing, where he focused on agriculture. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Matt McGinnis and John Fugate in the ag department are great. The whole department back there was a great place. We all worked together, along with the auto and building trades. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But as far as having someone who was a good mentor for life, Danny Satterfield (science teacher) helped me with everything. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t describe the kind of person he is. He made me want to learn more about life and the way people are. He was a really

good inspiration. It was like he was my big brother and he helped me so much.â&#x20AC;?

Scholarships from UT, Marathon Petroleum, and others have provided most of his college expenses, and he plans to stay on at Trinity and work as many hours as he can.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leaning strongly toward majoring in animal sciences with a minor in music production, with interest in possibly going into cattle breeding, or maybe a career in music in Nashville.

And heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cancelled out the possibility of working in the funeral business, or becoming an electrician.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got time to decide.

Dylanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brother, Dalton, will begin the 8th grade at Horace Maynard Middle School, and his dad, Edward, works at Marathon.
