By Betty BeanIf new city regulations pro-
posed by the Metropolitan Plan-ning Commission staff are ap-proved by MPC and City Council, funeral homes in O1 offi ce and C3 commercial zones (a desig-nation that includes every such establishment in the city) will be allowed to add crematories as an accessory use.
The proposed regulations will also loosen the requirements for freestanding crematories and pet crematories, allowing them as permitted uses in all industrial zones. The present ordinance prohibits freestanding incin-erators in I-3 zones and requires use-on-review and a 30-day waiting period in I-4 zones.
City Council member Nick Della Volpe asked the MPC staff to formulate the new regulations in the wake of controversy over Gentry-Griffey Chapel obtaining the permits necessary to build and operate a crematory in their Fountain City facility.
Under the proposed regula-tions, a funeral home cannot conduct more cremations than
funerals and the fl oor space used for cremations cannot exceed one third of the total area of the business – i.e., the accessory use must not exceed the principal use:
“To expand the activity of a facility for cremation beyond support of the principal funeral establishment by accepting bod-ies for cremation from other than the funeral establishment on the same lot would establish the cre-matory as an additional principal use on the lot and not an acces-sory use.”
Cremation facilities must also be no less than 200 feet from any residence, park or school.
In summary, MPC director Mark Donaldson said the new regulations were written to com-ply with state and case law that has defi ned cremation facilities and funeral homes as indivis-ible, and that studies done for the city of Spring Hill conclude that air emissions from crematories that are accessory uses to funeral homes present a low risk of harm, compared to free-standing cre-matories.
Proposed regs allow

B&P gives donation for outdoor
classroom arboretum By Jake Mabe
Even though it’s felt like it since February, spring offi cially arrived last Tuesday. So, it was perfect that the Halls B&P do-nated $300 to the Halls Outdoor Classroom on March 20 to help get it designated as an arboretum.
Knoxville-Knox County CAC AmeriCorps water quality team member Kelsey Hensley, who works at the outdoor classroom with students from Halls High School, says $125 of the donation will go toward the arboretum ap-plication. The other $175 will be used to put gutters on the Eagle Scout pavilion at the outdoor classroom, which will be con-nected to rain barrels decorated by students in Erica Johnson’s en-vironmental chemistry class. Jeff McMurray’s carpentry class will build the gutters.
Hensley said if approved the classroom will be a level one ar-boretum. Currently, Knox County has four arboretums.
“It will be a nice, educational opportunity for students and the community,” she said.

Crye pitched in and grabbed a shovel for a few minutes last Friday morning to help Hensley and water quality team member Jessica Og-den, who works with students at Carter High, spread mulch around a Chionanthus virginicus tree.
Hensley says Halls High stu-dents will be busy today (Monday,
March 26) helping get the class-room ready for the annual spring celebration, which will be held 6 to 8:30 p.m. Thursday, April 19, at the outdoor classroom.
“We’ve got a lot of work to do,” Hensley says. “We’ve got trails to mulch. So, the kids are going to be outside.”
The outdoor classroom cel-ebration will include food, s’mores,homemade ice cream, live bluegrassmusic, a pie eating contest, activitiesfrom Ijams Nature Center, children’sgames and more. Bring a lawn chairor blanket. The outdoor classroom islocated behind the Halls High cam-pus near the softball fi eld.

By Jake Mabe So, I went to see “Casa-
blanca” last week at Regal Cinemas West Town Mall Stadium 9, a special Turner Classic Movies-sponsored showing for the fi lm’s 70th anniversary.
With one exception, which I’ll get to in a minute, it was a great time.
This is a perfect fi lm, a true testament to the stu-dio system, the best Ameri-can fi lm ever made, with all due respect to the American Film Institute and “Citizen Kane.” There is not one wast-ed word, not one miscast ac-tor, not one fl awed scene.
And the crazy part is the whole darn thing was an ac-cident.
“Casablanca” was just another fi lm rolling through the Warner Bros. factory in 1942. The script arrived dai-ly, in pieces, and didn’t have an ending. Director Michael Curtiz was great with the cast and terrible with the crew. Ingrid Bergman didn’t think much of the fi lm itself.
But a classic it became and, of course, it found an ending, a perfect one, cour-tesy of the Epstein brothers, who co-wrote the screen-play. Oh, and did you catch that the whole thing is an allegory for American in-volvement in World War II?
And what a cast – Bogie,
Still the best,as time goes by…
Bergman, Paul Henreid, Claude Rains, Conrad Veidt, Dooley Wilson, Sydney Greenstreet, Peter Lorre, S.Z. Sakall. And that song, that haunting, beautiful song, im-mortalized by Wilson, you must remember this.
All those money quotes: “Here’s looking at you,
kid,” and “We’ll always have Paris” and “I’m shocked – shocked – to fi nd that gam-bling is going on here” and not “Play it again, Sam.” Lis-ten carefully. It’s never said.
TCM host Robert Os-borne recorded an in-troduction, telling us the movie was shot for about $900,000. He talked about the script problems and re-peated the story (which may indeed be apocryphal) that Ronald Reagan was almost
cast as Rick Blaine. This is the movie that
made Bogart a motion pic-ture star. He was tough and he was vulnerable and, yes, he could play the romantic leading man and play one quite well.
Our only unpleasantness for the evening was, again, a disappointing experience with digital projection. Yes, the print looked pristine. But, it kept getting inter-rupted with occasional pauses and a bizarre fl ash-ing message about someone not being authorized to view the fi lm. At least it wasn’t as bad as the time I tried to see the documentary “Senna” at Downtown West and the subtitles – much of the fi lm is in Portuguese – were cut off. (To Regal’s credit, they had literally just switched to all-digital projection and had it fi xed the following week.)
Say what you will, though, none of this would have ever happened with a 35mm print.
But, even that annoyance couldn’t ruin classic Holly-wood’s cinematic triumph, a fi lm for the ages, still the greatest of them all, as time goes by.
The 70th anniversary edi-tion of “Casablanca” will be released on Blu-ray and DVD this Tuesday (March 27).

MY TWO CENTS
At the very top of the list of things I never thought I’d see is Charles Robert Davenport doing the Elec-tric Slide.
Charles Davenport (right) watches closely as Evelyn Yeagle
teaches a line dance at the Frank Strang Senior Center. Photo by Jake Mabe
Mr. D does the Electric Slide
But, see it I did, and I’ve got the pictures to prove it.
Those of a certain age will remember Davenport as “Mr. D.” He was a librar-ian at Brickey and Halls elementary schools and by reputation his velvet voice while reading stories to children was almost as smooth as Garrison Keil-lor’s.
Mr. D has been attend-ing a line dancing class Tuesday afternoons at the Frank Strang Senior Cen-ter for about four weeks now. It is taught by Evelyn Yeagle, who’s been line dancing since the 1980s.
“It’s fun,” Davenport says, in his trademark la-conic style.
Yeagle agrees. “You get to meet a lot of
people, especially at dance mixers like this.”
Yeagle and her husband, Tom, teach a class for be-ginners at 1:30 p.m. and for everyone at 2. They also teach in Loudon County and have been at the Frank Strang Center for about a year.
Last week, Yeagle led the beginners class through the Electric Slide (“Like the Bible is to religion, the Electric Slide is to line dancing,” she says), before walking them through an Irish stomp and a dance
set to the strains of Toby Keith’s infectiously annoy-ing country hit “Red Solo Cup.”
She says the main prin-
ciple of line dancing is counting.
“They think it’s go-ing to be easy until they learn they have to count to
four. If they’re brand new, I ask them to commit to six weeks, but you can be up and dancing your first time. If I can get them on the f loor, they’re going to have fun.”
The Yeagles are origi-nally from Pennsylvania but came to East Tennes-see because of Tom’s job. Evelyn says she has a lot of fun.
“Life’s too short if you don’t.”
Health benefits are an added bonus. Evelyn has had one student whose blood pressure dropped back to normal and anoth-er who was able to wean off of diabetic medicine. One lost 64 pounds. She’s even got students in their 80s and 90s.
“It’s not only good exer-cise physically, but you also have to work your mind. If you’re just walking on a treadmill, you’re usually listening to headphones or watching TV. Here, you’re counting. And you’re (not as likely) to get dementia or Alzheimer’s.”
She says the class is growing. Twenty-eight showed up last week. Even the beginners looked like pros to me, especially on the Electric Slide.
One woman beamed. “I’ve been trying to learn it for 20-something years!”
Evelyn had given the class homework the week before. Mr. D said he prac-ticed out in his front yard.
“But the neighbors looked at me funny.”
After watching the class for a few minutes, Evelyn stopped the music and smiled.
“I tell ya what. You’re no longer beginners!”
Call Ripley’s Believe it or Not. Mr. D can line dance.
By Jake Mabe Greg Schmid takes bully-
ing personally. And not just because it’s part of his job.
The teen development director at the North Side YMCA told the Halls Busi-ness and Professional As-sociation that he was the obese kid being bullied back in school.
Then he told a story about Eden, a 14-year-old from Washington state, who had been bullied for two and one-half years to the point she no longer wanted to go to school. Her family and friends knew nothing about it.
On March 9, Eden hanged herself.
Schmid says students tell him all the time, “Mr. Greg, nothing’s going to be done to these people who are bullying us.”
If Schmid and others like him have anything to do about it, that’s going to change.
The Y and the Halls Middle School tolerance committee are hosting a special screening of the motion picture “The Fat Boy Chronicles,” which will include a table discus-sion with author/screen-writer Michael Buchanan,
7 p.m. Thursday, March 29, at Halls Middle School. As-semblies will be held with 6th, 7th and 8th grade stu-dents earlier in the day.
“This will allow parents and the community to see what our children are go-ing through,” Schmid says.
Schmid says that, based on 2010 statistics, 1 in 7 students enrolled in grades K through 12 in the United States is either a bully or being bullied. He says 61 percent of kids involved in school shootings are the victims of violence, either at home or at school.
And here’s the worst sta-tistic: suicide is the leading cause of death among chil-dren under the age of 14.
“The youngest was 9,” Schmid says. “This is a problem in our country. There’s even a new term for it: ‘bullycide.’ ”
Schmid says the prob-lem has gotten worse be-cause of cyberbullying, virtually a 24/7 continuous attack that can occur on-line, through social media or via text messages.
“Prevention is what I’m looking at,” Schmid says.
For more info on the screening of “The Fat Boy Chronicles,” call 922-9622.

Can church ladies move mountains?
I wasn’t in Nashville last week, but I know enough about how things work down there to be able to de-scribe the scenario, and I’d bet my best imitation Louis Vuitton bag that last Mon-day’s Chattanooga Times-Free Press editorial cartoon got emailed out, printed off, passed around and guf-fawed about all over the Legislative Plaza.
But probably not where Rambo, the meanest hom-bre on Capitol Hill, could see them doing it.
To be fair, Ron Ramsey’s probably no different than anybody else when it comes to being made the butt of somebody else’s joke. Nobody’d be tickled to see himself caricatured stand-ing on top of a pile of Ben-jamins like he’d just sum-mited Everest, planting a banner that says “Campaign Cash” with a cartoon bal-loon that says, “There is one mountain I’ll protect.”
Nope, the Speaker of the Senate/Lt. Governor of Ten-nessee could not have been amused.
The cartoon, of course, referenced Scenic Vistas Protection, a bill written by Knoxville lawyer Dawn Coppock, who has spent the last fi ve years lobbying the General Assembly to ban mountaintop removal coal mining from Tennessee.
She has given ground in the process (the bill now ap-plies only to slopes 2,000 feet and above in altitude, for example), but she’s never given up, even after being dubbed the “Church Lady” and watching her bill killed off in obscure subcommit-tees year after year. She is one of the founders of LEAF, an environmental organiza-tion originally composed of
Not dead yet
members of the Church of the Good Shepherd, which is dedicated to a philosophy called Creation Care, the heart of which is that God frowns on stuff like blowing the tops off mountains.
And what the cartoon means is that people across the state are paying attention. The bill that started out as a minor annoyance to Ramsey, who has been the recipient of hundreds of thousands of dollars from the coal indus-try over the years, has grown into a major aggravation.
After LEAF supporters kicked off this year’s session with a highly publicized 40 days of prayer for the moun-tains, culminating with a grand fi nale in a Nashville church in January, Ramsey had had enough, and decid-ed to gut Coppock’s bill.
Nearly a month ago, the Senate’s Republican major-ity came up with a version of the Scenic Vistas bill that purports to ban mountaintop removal, but in reality only bans dumping the rubble for-merly known as mountains into surrounding valleys. Blowing the tops off is OK, as long as the remains are piled back up into mountainesque rock piles. Ramsey issued a press release declaring the mountains saved.
His enthusiasm will be tested April 2, when the de-coy bill is scheduled to go to the Senate fl oor, marking the fi rst time a mountaintop removal ban has gotten to the fl oor of any state legisla-tive body. The sponsor, Eric Stewart, will likely move to restore the original bill, and regardless of what the ma-jority does, the world will be watching.
tant post for those of us who care about greenways.
Donna Young’s salary was $49,000 and the new person will earn somewhat
less than that, I am told. If she does what is hoped, she will earn every penny of it.
The greenway coordina-tor will report to Walsh. Whether this person will have access to the mayor directly or will have to go through Walsh to Branscom to Bill Lyons or Eddie Man-nis and then to the mayor is unclear.
However, given Mayor Rogero’s strong, deeply felt commitment to a green city, the new coordinator ought to have direct access and not have their thoughts fi l-tered through three others before they reach the mayor.
Knoxville should be add-ing at least four miles a year of new greenways to our current system. It will not happen unless the greenway coordinator is seen as hav-ing the mayor’s personal support. I have no reason to doubt Mayor Rogero’s sup-
port of greenways, but the test will come with what is or is not in her budget to be unveiled on April 27.
■ Meanwhile, Lon-sdale Recreation Center, 2705 Stonewall, will get more space with the 5 p.m. Wednesday, March 28, event at which Rogero will help knock down a wall to start a $522,000 addition to the facility. According to Kathleen Gibi, recreation spokesperson, the renova-tion will include new rest-rooms, a new offi ce, new HVAC, computer lab space and a multipurpose room which can be used for var-ied community events.
KCDC is fronting $150,000 of the total cost. All represents good news for Lonsdale.
■ If former Sheriff Tim Hutchinson runs for state representative in the new Knox House district
and wins, it will represent a political comeback as stun-ning as Richard Nixon win-ning the White House in 1968 after losing the Cali-fornia governor’s race in 1962.
Remember, this is the same person who lost in a landslide to County May-or Tim Burchett only two years ago. Hutchinson did not even reach 20 percent of the total vote. If two years later he can win a seat in the Legislature he once again is a player in Knox County politics. If he serves two terms (four years), he will immediately qualify for a state legislative pension on top of the enhanced and controversial county pen-sion he now receives. As a state representative, he will be able to block or support local legislation which re-quires approval of all seven House members.
■ County Commis-sioner Amy Broyles raised eyebrows last week when she mentioned in-creasing the County Com-mission size back to 19 members. Not certain whether she is advocating this or simply throwing it out for discussion.
Broyles is a county char-ter committee member who is very vocal in meetings. Generally she is viewed as opposed to the old way of doing things, so it would be a surprise if she favored re-turning part of county gov-ernment to the old commis-sion with increased cost to taxpayers who would have to pay eight more commis-sioners’ salaries and pen-sions.
The huge 27-member charter committee is oper-ating under the radar screen with little media attention on its work.

Shots fi red in Battle of Midway, part 2By Betty Bean
Second District County Commissioner Amy Broyles voted no on the Midway Busi-ness Park in 2010, in part be-cause of community opposi-tion and in part because she doesn’t support “greenfi eld” development, which she be-lieves leads to sprawl.
Today, she is undecided about The Development Cor-poration’s proposition to sell KaTom Restaurant Supply 22 acres of land at the Midway Road site and give them a substantial tax break to relo-cate from Hamblen County.
“There are a lot of reasons for me to like this company,” Broyles said at her monthly constituent meeting last week. “I want them in my district, where people could walk to work. This is exact-ly the kind of business the 2nd District wants. This is a community that would wel-come them with open arms.”
KaTom was founded by Patricia Bible and her hus-band, Tommy, who died some years ago, leaving his widow with children to raise and 17 employees to keep working. Today, the business is bursting at the seams and has 62 employees, most of whom will follow the com-pany to Knox County. TDC vice president Todd Napier said KaTom will hire 15 ad-ditional employees once the move is complete, and that the work force should num-ber 135 after fi ve years.
Napier said the problem with Broyles’ observation is that KaTom, which started in Bible’s garage, isn’t willing to look at other county prop-erty. Bible likes the Midway location because of its prox-imity to Hamblen and Jef-ferson counties, where she and most of her employees live, its interstate exposure and its location near the larger population center of Knoxville.
Bob Wolfenbarger, Todd Napier and Amy Broyles share a rare
moment of harmony after a vigorous discussion of KaTom Res-
taurant Supply’s proposal to open a new facility on the Midway
Business Park site. Photo by B. Bean
“I wish I had the ability to tell companies ‘This is where you need to be in Knox Coun-ty’ but they are telling us there are no other sites they are interested in. We have an opportunity to embrace this company, or they will go somewhere else,” said Napier.
Midway Business Park op-
ponent Bob Wolfenbarger, who still opposes develop-ment at Midway, listed po-tential problems, including not having a sewage treat-ment plant anywhere near the site.
“There’s no infrastruc-ture. There’s no sewer. It only recently got water…
The neighborhood’s primary concern is the area around it is heavily riddled with sinkholes. Most everybody up there is on well water and there is a huge concern about polluting the ground water,” Wolfenbarger said.
“At fi rst they were talk-ing about building a regional sewer plant in the vicin-ity of Seven Islands Wildlife Park. We think of the French Broad River as being the pri-mary water supply of the en-tire county of Knox. The ad-dition of those components to the water supply is not a desirable thing.”
Wolfenbarger also pre-dicted that KaTom’s impact on job creation will be mini-mal because it will bring most of its current employees along after the relocation. He said he doubts that a whole-sale operation can generate signifi cant sales tax revenue and he expressed skepticism that KaTom will live up to its end of the bargain.
Napier said Wolfenbarg-er’s speculation has no basis in fact and predicted that KaTom’s moving to Knox County will have spin-off benefi ts beyond tax revenue.
“The real value of a com-pany is the jobs and the life-styles it allows the employ-ees to enjoy,” he said.

So, Tennessee football is starting over. Spring drills begin. Bright new faces. Ex-citing time.
In a previous beginning, we heard that newness is a problem for coaches, that it takes time to establish re-cruiting relationships. Some were obviously formed but seven-tenths went away in the mass exodus.
In the beginning, players and position coaches had to get to know each other. To-day, no Volunteer has the same position coach he had last year.
This is different, a world turnover record with the head coach still in place. We can only guess at why and how this happened.
It wasn’t money. For the convenience of Lane Kiffi n, Tennessee doubled the bud-get for assistant coaches.
Marvin West
Starting over
When it was Derek Dooley’s turn to spread the wealth, he hired medium-large names from different places and varied backgrounds. Defensive coordinator Jus-tin Wilcox was the star. Expectations and potential were high.
Nobody could have fore-seen that almost everybody would so soon be gone.
This is Tennessee. Great place to live. Rich tradition. Big ballpark. Enthusiastic fans. How much better does it get?
Bennie Wylie, strength and conditioning coach, started it. He worked out with the team – with his suitcase packed.
The Chuck Smith story was strange. This person-able former Volunteer was Dooley’s high school buddy. He would coach defensive linemen.
That renewed partner-ship lasted one whole sea-son. Personality confl ict? Different view of work hours? Smith and Dooley reached a “mutual decision” to part. Smith conducted a rambling press conference that did not explain any-thing.
No problem. The solution was in-house. Peter Sirmon, former standout with the Tennessee Titans and for-mer Oregon roommate with Wilcox, was a graduate as-sistant.
Lance Thompson became defensive line coach. Sir-mon, with name recognition
and personality, became a hot recruiter and very good coach of linebackers.
If there ever was staff sta-bility, last season broke it up. The 5-7 record with that messy fi nale at Kentucky created nervous tension. There were whispers that Dooley discipline was ad-justable. Critics, just waiting for proof of problems, said the coach might not make it. Rival recruiters told any-body who would listen.
Turnover, Phase II, start-ed with Charlie Baggett, long history of success, 11 years in the NFL. The press release said he retired at 58. A freedom of information peek showed Charlie was paid $425,000 to go away.
Harry Hiestand, sup-posedly a good offensive line coach when hired, got saddled with his fair share of a failed running attack. He was suddenly consider-ing other opportunities. He resurfaced at Notre Dame.
Eric Russell, tight ends and special teams, departed for Washington State. He later admitted he was seek-ing job security. Eric thinks the Vols are under pressure to win now.
Dooley showed no panic. “Sometimes you hate
losing them. Sometimes it’s good because some-times turnover is a healthy thing. Either way, it’s a great chance to say, ‘Hey, where can we get better through this?’ That’s what we’re go-ing to do.”
Additional opportunities followed. At a serious time in recruiting, Wilcox moved to Washington. Sirmon took the same fl ight. We don’t know if Dooley could have stopped them with raises. Could be Wilcox concluded the SEC is just too tough.
Dooley made positive ad-justments – offensive coor-dinator Jim Chaney to QB coach, Darin Hinshaw, bless him, to receivers. Ex-Vol Jay
Graham came to coach run-ning backs. There was ap-plause.
Dooley went “Alabama” to replace Wilcox. Sal Sun-seri brought in former as-sociate Derrick Ansley and probably recommended John Palermo. Charlie Coiner was an easy choice. Available.
Lance Thompson? Oh, after two passovers for pro-motion, he went back to Ala-bama.
Dooley, the faithful few and reinforcements did OK in recruiting. As new assis-tants were getting acquaint-ed, Terry Joseph, with Dool-ey at Louisiana Tech, moved laterally to Nebraska. Hmm.
What do the migrants know that we don’t? Was the original Dooley formula just trial and error? Is the staff better for changes? This new season could be very exciting. Marvin West invites reader reaction. His

MALCOLM’S CORNER | Malcolm Shell
I was talking to a couple of my Farragut High School classmates a few days ago – Lafayette Wil-liams and Earl Hall – and during our conversation we discussed the area where they grew up, just a few miles southwest of Con-cord Village.
Today, that gently rolling pas-toral area is the home of the new YMCA and subdivisions with homes in the million dollar-plus price range – Montgomery Cove, Mallard Bay, Jefferson Park, Cabot Ridge and numer-ous others – and commercial development has also started to take hold. But 60 years ago the whole area was known to lo-cals as “Possum Valley” and the westernmost end of Northshore Drive was called “Possum Valley Road.”
I wonder how many of the ar-ea’s new residents are aware that they live in Possum Valley.
No one is quite sure how the area acquired its name, but the most plausible explanation seems to be attributed to Gen. Ambrose Burnside’s Union forc-es that wintered there in 1863. In some of the soldiers’ diaries they noted that, “If it had not been for the possums, we would have starved to death.”
One of the notorious residents of the area was Charley Smith, also known as Lying Charley Smith and Possum Valley Char-ley Smith. Charley was one of those characters who delighted in amusing his friends with his tall tales. And people were al-ways glad to see him coming
because they knew they were in for a big laugh. Charley also told stories about himself and the Possum Valley area. I remember him saying once that “if a rabbit ran across the road in front of you, you had better slam on the brakes because there would be a man right behind it.”
Now, Burnside’s soldiers and Charley’s tales suggest that the area was a very poor place where possums were the main food source and men literally tried to run down rabbits for food. But neither of these depictions is ac-curate. In fact, the area was self-contained in that it had its own churches with adjacent cemeter-ies, a school where several class-es were taught in the same room by a single teacher and a country store that was a favorite gather-ing place.
Most of the area’s residents made their living by farming. And like their Scots-Irish ances-tors, they were extremely inde-pendent people who grew their own vegetables, raised their cat-tle and poultry to provide meat for their families, and depended on the sale of their cash crops for income.
And families were very sup-portive of each other. Indeed, it was a place where farmers would readily lend their farm machin-ery and labor to a neighbor who might be temporarily in need. And it was a place where people put in 12-hour workdays six days each week and emphasized the value of such traits as honesty, hard work and virtue in their
Possum Valleytraces roots to Civil War
parenting. And their early train-ing must have had an influence on them because most of the “possum valley boys” excelled in both sports and academics in high school.
Most Possum Valley residents lived in traditional, two-story, clapboard farmhouses at the end of dirt roads. In fact, all of the roads in Possum Valley were dirt, and alternating periods of drought or rain each presented their own problems. During dry periods, you could see vehicles coming far in the distance by the dust cloud, so not many people were inclined to wash their cars or pickup trucks.
Today, the influx of new resi-dents and modern subdivisions has completely changed the area landscape. Single mailboxes and dirt roads leading to farmhouses have been replaced with beauti-ful subdivision entrances that lead to paved streets with excit-ing street names.
And if you ask one of these newcomers where they live, they will proudly say Mallard Bay, Montgomery Cove or Jefferson Park. But if you can find one of the locals –their numbers are de-clining rapidly – and ask where they live, they are apt to say, “Oh, down in Possum Valley.”Gen. Ambrose Burnside

WORSHIP NOTES
A mortal, born of woman, few of days and full of trouble, comes up like a fl ower and withers, fl ees like a shadow and does not last.
(Job 14: 1 NRSV)
I don’t know exactly what a prayer is.I do know how to pay attention, how to fall downinto the grass, how to kneel down in the grass,how to be idle and blessed, how to stroll through
the fi elds,which is what I have been doing all day.Tell me, what else should I have done?Doesn’t everything die at last, and too soon?Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?
(“The Summer Day,” from New and Selected Poems, Mary Oliver)
One wild and precious life
The first day I walked into the Refuge, I noticed that snatches of poetry and Scripture had been printed on plain white paper and posted in the windows of the interview rooms.
The fragment from Mary Oliver’s poem, “The Sum-mer Day,” quoted above, was posted just across the hall from what would be my office. I didn’t see it that day; it was only later that I stopped to read it.
It has haunted me from that day to this, for many rea-sons. It is still posted in that window and, even now, I stop again to read it. It speaks to me on so many levels.
I know “what a prayer is.” But do I know exactly what it is? Probably not. I can-not explain the mysteries of communicating with the Almighty. But I know what it feels like to turn at the end of the day to His arms, like a child going to sleep on her daddy’s lap. I know what it is to whisper, “Oh, help,” when faced with a problem above my pay grade. I know what it is to pray, “Thank you,” when I know that somehow I have managed to make a difference.
It has been a long time since I have had (or rather, taken) the time to “fall down in the grass … to be idle and blessed.” When I was a young teenager, I used to sit in my climbing tree and think and dream and read and pretend. Those days are gone, and so is the tree, I no-ticed recently, to my sorrow.
The poet is right: every-
LynnHutton
CROSS CURRENTS
thing dies “at last, and too soon.”
It is the last two lines of the poem, however, that caught – and hold – my at-tention: “Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?”
If we are gone, and that too soon, how will we spend the time between now and then? How will we invest our life, our energy, our wit, our love?
How will I use or spend (or – God willing – give) my one wild and precious life?
The longer I have lived with that poem reverberat-ing in my head and heart, the more I have come to the following conclusion: that Mary Oliver was not after an answer to her question “… what will you do with your … life?”
She was after aware-ness: an awakening of the soul to the knowledge that life is “wild and precious” and that “everything dies at last, and too soon.”
As spring comes again to these hills, spend at least part of your wild and pre-cious life doing whatever it is that will allow you to drink in the moments and savor the wonder of it all.

McBayne was a youth minister in South Carolina and always took people in. Then the tables were turned when she became displaced.

By Phil Bridges The Halls High softball team is
off to a great start, stacking up four straight wins to open the 2012 season.
Halls won the season opener March 12 at Anderson County and introduced freshman pitcher Tori Branum, who got the win and was supported by a 10-hit offense including three doubles by sophomore Kelsey Whited.
On March 13, Halls hosted Emory Road rival Gibbs, where Branum went head-to-head against senior pitcher
Samantha Smith. Halls outhit Gibbs 13-7 and won 11-3 with RBI produc-tion by Whited, senior Stephanie Bridges, sophomore Alyssa Mabe and freshman Katie Corum.
On March 14, Halls hosted Black Oak Ridge rival Central in a close slugfest that came down to the last inning. Both teams racked up 13 hits, but Central errors broke the seventh-inning tie to allow Halls to record its third straight win 9-8. This was also the fi rst win of the season for junior
pitcher Leah Hall. Clinton visited Halls on March
15, and with nine hits and no er-rors Halls was able to shut down the Dragons 11-1 in five innings, giving Halls a solid 4-0 start and pitcher Hall her second win.
Halls is coached by Ellisha Hum-phrey, who is in her sixth season with the Red Devils, assisted by Bryan Gordon. The team resumes action at 6 p.m. today (Monday, March 26) at home against Powell.
The 2012 Halls High softball team members are: (front) Natali Sharp, Hannah McCloud, Stephanie Bridges; (middle row) Vada
Major, Tori Morsch, Samantha Warwick, Leah Hall, Haylie Beason, Alyssa Mabe, Kelsey Whited; (back) McKenna Buckner, Daniele

Rural/Metro fi refi ghters Brandon Gross and Tim Hancock speak with Abby Herrell and father Rick

By Rob WebbWhile the overall job mar-
ket may be tough right now, job p r o s p e c t s are good for those pursu-ing careers in emergen-cy services. According to the U.S. Bu-
reau of Labor Statistics, em-ployment is expected to grow in all emergency sectors.
Aging baby boomers will contribute to an increased demand for fi rst respond-ers, EMTs and paramedics. Emergency room overcrowd-ing and hospital specializa-tion can also create longer pa-tient transport times making additional emergency service providers necessary.
Rural/Metro is one of the largest employers of emer-gency service professionals
in East Tennessee, employ-ing more than 800 EMTs, paramedics, fi refi ghters, telecommunicators and sup-port personnel. We have a compassionate and commit-ted team which continues to grow to meet the needs of our community.
When you are committed to your work, it is exciting to help others get involved. That’s why several Rural/Metro professionals recently spent a day speaking to stu-dents about the emergency services fi eld during the Knox County Schools Career Fair held at the Knoxville Expo Center. We were one of nearly 80 local employers on site to give high school students in-formation on career options.
Many students were genu-inely interested in learning about emergency service. Others enjoyed checking out our latest technology, in-cluding our state-of-the-art ambulance, fi re truck and
the Segways used to help us respond in densely popu-lated venues such as sporting events and festivals.
We are also reaching out to future emergency service providers through a new pilot program for fi refi ghter train-ing with seniors at South-Doyle High School.
The Fire Cadet Academy is a two-part training pro-gram in conjunction with our state-accredited Fire Academy to offer interested students the fi rst phase of fi refi ghter instruction dur-ing the school year. Upon successful completion of the course and graduation from school, qualifying ca-dets will be able to complete their training and actual live-fi re experience as re-serve fi refi ghters. When the 240-hour training program is complete, students are qualifi ed to test for certifi ca-tion as a Level 1 Firefi ghter, the minimum level required

Attorney Rebecca Bell Jenkins expands law practice to Powell
NEWS FROM ATTORNEY REBECCA BELL JENKINS
Attorney Rebecca Bell Jenkins691-2211 (West offi ce)
938-5114 (North offi ce by appointment only)
About the only time Rebecca Bell Jen-kins has strayed far from her home in
Powell, where she was born and raised and where her family put down roots in the 1700’s, was when she went off to the Univer-sity of Georgia to graduate with high honors and to go on to get a law degree. Rebecca has been licensed to practice law since 1995.
The daughter of the late Carolyn Bell and of Alfred Bell, who served on the old Knox County Court, taught at Powell High School and then worked as a supervisor in the school system until his retirement in 2005.
She started her career in the Knox County Attorney General’s offi ce, where she prosecut-ed DUI cases. She went into private practice in 2000 with offi ces at Franklin Square in West Knoxville, where she will continue to practice.
But she has now returned to her roots with her law practice, opening a second offi ce
at 534 West Emory Road, in the home once occupied by her grandparents, the late Joyce and Alvin Bell Jr., and next door to what was the home of her great-grandparents, the late Sally and Alvin Bell. That property is now oc-cupied by Realty Concepts.
Rebecca says the addition of the Pow-ell office “is the result of so many people I have known all my life saying ‘I wish you had an office closer to where I live.’ My goal is to make things more conve-nient for those folks.”
This second offi ce will make things more convenient for Rebecca’s immediate family, too. They live in the Brickey Community and attend Faith United Methodist Church. Her husband, Jerald, is an employee of Knox County 911 who graduated from Halls High School. His mother, Imogene Jenkins, worked for many years in the cafeteria at Brickey Elementary School. His Dad, the
late Don Jenkins, owned and operated the Waldorf Restaurant on Clinton Highway.
In her law practice, Rebecca says, “Our offi ce focuses on legal issues that are most likely to impact people or someone they know on a daily basis such as family law: di-vorce, adoption, child custody, post-divorce child custody issues, child support (collec-tion or modifi cation), estate planning: wills, power of attorney, and personal injury.”
In the area of estate planning, she em-phasizes the importance of three critical documents: a will, which she says every-one 18 years or older who has assets and/or children should have; a Power of At-torney document, which specifi es who can make decisions for you on health care and/or fi nancial matters if you become inca-pacitated, 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.
She assists her clients with their legal needs in everything from drafting the most simple documents to representing them in courtroom trials. “In a general practice such as this, we do pretty much everything our cli-ents need.” Bell Jenkins is also certifi ed as a Rule 31 listed Family Mediator.

NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER
For more information, please call the Fort Sanders
Sleep Disorders Center at (865) 541-1375.
Fort Sanders Professional Building1901 Clinch Avenue, S.W., Suite 303Knoxville, TN 37916
Get Your Life BackChronic 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.
Stop snoring NOW with the Fort Sanders Sleep Center!There’s never been a better time
to get a good night’s rest, accord-ing to Scott Vogt, director of the Sleep Disorders Center at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center.
With the latest in sleep disorder treatments, your sleep problems – especially loud snoring – can be cured, says Vogt. “Snoring is not normal,” he explains. “Snoring happens because there’s some-thing obstructing your airway at night.”
Loud snoring is often caused by a common condition called ob-structive sleep apnea. This is when a person’s airway relaxes during sleep and narrows. As the per-son tries to breathe, the air must squeeze through the narrow open-ing, causing the snoring rattle. If the airway closes completely, the patient will stop breathing for a second and gasp for air. This can happen hundreds of times each night, preventing the person from getting into a deep state of sleep.
In the morning, the sleep apnea sufferer is likely to have headaches, mental distraction and fatigue. He or she is also at a higher risk for hypertension, heart attack, stroke and even diabetes, Vogt says.
“In the deeper stages of sleep, the brain releases chemicals to heal the body,” explains Vogt. “So when you’re constantly hav-ing sleep apnea events, the body doesn’t heal itself.”
Fortunately, the treatment for sleep apnea is a simple one, and recent advances have made it easi-er than ever.
The main treatment for sleep apnea is to sleep with a Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machine, a bedside pump that de-livers forced air through a mask and down the nose and mouth to keep the airway open and elimi-nate snoring.
“The CPAP has been around a long time, but the machines have gotten a lot better in the last few years,” says Vogt. “They’re small-er, and they look like bedside clock radios. We have patients who have hiked the Appalachian Trail with their CPAPs. They just take a little battery pack with them.”
CPAP masks have also im-proved over the years.
“They’ve made the masks small-er and lighter, with new materials,” says Vogt. “They come in all kinds of colors and styles, too. There are pink or camoufl age colored head-bands and lighter tubing to reduce the pull of the tube on your face.
“It’s easier than ever to fi nd one that’s comfortable for you, and that makes you want to use it more. If a patient won’t use the CPAP, it’s not doing them any good,” states Vogt. “It’s like having a bottle of pills and not taking them.”
Some patients need to try sev-eral masks before they fi nd the one that works for them, Vogt says.
“It might take a few days to get the right one. We’ll get those pa-tients who say, ‘There’s no way I can wear this.’ And then once they feel the benefi ts, it’s almost instan-taneous,” he smiles.
Eliminating the snoring is likely
to benefi t other family members as well, Vogt says.
“Our best referrals are spous-
es,” Vogt says with a laugh. “Most of the time, the CPAP will treat two patients at once. Whoever’s having
the apnea is keeping the spouse awake.”
The Sleep Disorders Center at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center is fully accredited by the American Academy of Sleep Medi-cine. Its tests and treatments arecovered by most insurance plans.
For more information about the Sleep Disorders Center,
call 865-541-1375 or go to www.fsregional.com/fssleepcenter.
“Snoring is not normal. It happens because something is obstructing your airway at night.” – Scott Vogt, Fort Sanders Sleep Disorders Center Director
Many smaller, lighter CPAP machines are now available for people suff ering from sleep apnea.
Fatigued? Sleep better with the Fort Sanders Sleep Disorders Center
Tired all the time? If you’re still sleepy after eight hours of rest, there might be an underlying med-ical cause to your fatigue.
Typical signs of a sleep disorder include diffi culty falling asleep at night, waking many times dur-ing the night, pauses in breathing while asleep and exhaustion dur-ing the day.
The best way to pinpoint and solve a sleep problem is to be eval-uated by a nationally accredited facility such as the Sleep Disorders Center at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center. The six-bed sleep laboratory is a longtime member of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. The Center is staffed by two physicians and seven licensed sleep technologists. They can de-termine the root of your sleep problems.
“There are many sleep disor-ders,” explains neurologist Dr. Thomas Higgins, a Sleep Medicine physician and director of the Fort Sanders Sleep Disorders Center. “Medical conditions, neurologi-cal problems, poor sleep habits, stress, anxiety and depression
– these can all bring about sleep problems.”
The Center’s staff performs an initial evaluation on each patient and determines whether an over-night or daytime sleep test is need-ed. If so, the patient is connected to monitors that measure brain
wave activity, heart rate, oxygen levels and breath-ing while they sleep.
“By digitally recording a patient’s brain, heart and air fl ow during sleep, we can often identify what’s causing the sleep diffi culties and work to-gether toward a solution,” says Dr. Higgins.
And finding a solution to your sleep problems is important for your over-all health, points out Dr. Higgins. Longterm sleep deficits can increase your risk of heart dis-ease, high blood pres-sure, obesity, diabetes and other medical con-ditions. “Successfully treating a sleep problem
can change your life,” states Dr. Higgins.
For more information about diagnosis and treatment
of your sleep problem, call the Fort Sanders
Sleep Disorders Center at 865-541-1375.
You’re getting sleepy …
If you’re struggling to get enough sleep, try
combating the problem with these techniques:
■ Keep a regular sleep/wake schedule.
■ Avoid consuming caff eine at least four to six hours
before bedtime and minimize daytime use.
■ Don’t smoke, especially near bedtime or if you awake
during the night.
■ Avoid alcohol and heavy meals before bedtime.
■ Get regular exercise, but avoid exercising right before
bedtime.
■ Minimize noise, light and excessive temperatures
where you sleep.
■ Go to bed at the same time each night.
■ Try to wake up without an alarm clock.
■ Don’t stress about it. Worrying about not being able
to sleep only exacerbates the problem.

June is a 12-year-old
mare. She is cham-
pagne with very un-
usual green eyes and
15.1h tall. June does
well in a herd if plenty
of hay or pasture is
available but becomes
food aggressive if fed
in close proximity to
other horses. June ties
well, is great for the
vet and farrier, stands
well for grooming. She
has had under saddle
training and has a nice
ground covering trot.
Come visit with Juneduring our Open House

Darla Dunn is participat-ing in the Covenant Health Knoxville Marathon Biggest Winner Weight Loss Chal-lenge with a group of others who lean on one another for inspiration and support.
Darla Dunn stands with Zombie and the rest of her team for
the Covenant Health Knoxville Marathon Biggest Winner
Weight Loss Challenge. Pictured are Melody Peters, Amanda
Paletz, Dunn, Arielle Arthur, Lee Ann Bowman, Mike Howell,
and Edee Vaughan. Photo submitted
The smallest member of the team
In addition to her hu-man teammates, Dunn has another special training partner who gives her end-less support and an uncon-ditional shoulder to lean on.
Well, he doesn’t really have shoulders. He has four paws.
Dunn has been training for the marathon with her German shepherd/Dober-man mix, Zombie. She ad-opted him a couple of years ago from a local rescue group and would encourage anyone looking for a pet to do the same.
“Training the last few months with Zombie has so deeply strengthened our bond and makes exercise so much fun,” said Dunn. “I cannot stress the excellence of it to others enough.
“I’m not always so com-fortable in public, so he gives me something to focus on besides my own head,” said Dunn about her training ses-sions. Zombie helps her stay motivated while being active himself and improving his own social skills.
Dunn says her form suf-fers occasionally from try-
ing not to step on Zombie, but otherwise he helps keep her pumped up during a practice run.
The Covenant Health Knoxville Marathon week-end is Saturday, March 31, and Sunday, April 1. Events will include a one-mile kids run on Saturday and a mar-athon, half-marathon, four-person marathon relay and 5k races on Sunday morn-ing. Online registration ends Tuesday, March 27, but onsite registration will also be available. Info: www.knoxvillemarathon.com.
