Mr. Perry goes to Washington

Turns out the rent is higher in the Washington, D.C. sub-urbs than it is in Kailua, Ha-waii.

But that doesn’t worry De-wayne Perry. Asked what it’s like to be leaving paradise for a concrete jungle, he just grins.

“I’ll be able to fi t the car into a parking space.”

By Betty BeanThe push to make Knoxville a

more beautiful city and the push-back from businesses that rely on signage to drive customers to their doors have made the work of City Council’s Sign Ordinance Task Force a challenging enterprise. They went to work in February 2012 and hope to fi nish soon.

Analysis

Knoxville’s Sign Ordinance Task

Force will hold its fi nal meeting

at 4 p.m. Wednesday, May 22,

at the KCDC building, 901 N.

Broadway, before handing the

new ordinance over to the Met-

ropolitan Planning Commis-

sion, where it must be approved

on two readings before being

returned to City Council for de-

liberation – and two more read-

ings. Written comments will be

accepted until Wednesday.

Sign task force looks for consensus

Can both Joyce Feld and Bill Weigel walk away happy?

(Feld chairs Scenic Knoxville, which opposes big signs. Weigel is CEO of the local chain of conve-nience stores that has 80 outlets bearing his name and has a long-established brand, promoted via signage and distinctive façade.)

“That was a challenge, but they’ve both been great,” said task force chair Duane Grieve, who represents the beautifi ca-tion-conscious Bearden area on City Council. “This task force has been dedicated, sincere and a good cross-representation. I’ll bet there’s been less than 10 percent absenteeism.”

He said the assistance of MPC

director Mark Donaldson has been invaluable.

Grieve started the task force’s work by putting everyone on a bus and touring the city. He said one impression was shared by almost ev-eryone, whatever their point of view:

“Hey, there are a lot of aban-doned signs out there.”

Grieve said there is a lot of agreement that lowering sign height will be a good thing, and he’s hoping the county will follow the city’s lead in these matters.

Feld says aesthetics are good for business, especially in thriving business districts where regula-tions are the most stringent.

“A wonderful example is the revitalization of downtown and Market Square. Signage is highly regulated there, but the economy in that area is thriving and has pulled new businesses and resi-dents. And look at Turkey Creek – when they developed it, they removed six to eight billboards that were already there. They have no signs taller than six feet and they’re all monument signs, other than the primary directory signs on the interstate. It has been a re-sounding success.”

Town Hall wants monument sign for Chick-fi l-A

Fountain City Town Hall presi-dent Ken Cloninger is still wait-ing for a response to the April 24 letter he sent to Chick-fi l-A’s corporate headquarters regard-ing the 40-foot pole-mounted sign planned for the new store on Broadway at Rennoc Road. Earlier in the month, town hall’s general membership voted to ask Chick-fi l-A to install a 12-foot monument sign instead.

“The newer commercial devel-opment located in the (Broadway) corridor approaching the lake and park has developed with lower, monument signs, rather than tall pole signs. The monument design and lower height is a more effective and more pleasing sign, especially in this sensitive historic area, far from any interstate,” the letter said.

Cloninger said he is optimistic that the Atlanta-based fast food chain will be willing to accommo-date the community and lower the sign height, as it did in Bearden re-cently.

“I don’t think it would benefi t them to have a sign that tall. As small as Fountain City is, every-body’s going to know where they are.”

City Council member George Wallace co-chairs the task force. He is a Realtor and advocates a more cautious approach. He says most of the comments he’s heard during public forums boil down to three things:

“First, people are asking us to be reasonable and fair. Second, special consideration should be given to interstate interchanges – hotels, fast food. These are not in neighborhoods and it’s all about trying to drive traffi c. Third, keep in mind that we’re still Knoxville. This is a community that has a certain style, a certain feel. Let’s don’t overstep our bounds.”

Gearheads galore at the dragstrip‘Run whatcha brung, and hope ya brung enough’ – Chuck Varner’s raceway mantra

The classic “leap” off

the starting line.

By Libby MorganA powerhouse under the

hood, a driver with a trigger foot, hundreds of hours of engine-tweaking, transmis-sion-beefi ng, body-detailing labor. It’s all for a moment of fl at-out acceleration.

The fastest racers at the Knoxville Dragstrip horse up to over 150 miles an hour and cover 660 feet in fi ve seconds.

And even though it’s all about horsepower, they race everything but horses on Knoxville Dragstrip’s raceway. On a recent Friday “test and tune” night, cars, motorcycles, pickups, top fuel dragsters, stock cars, two-stroke creations, you name it, did practice runs

on the strip.The start is the thing.

Drag racers must get con-

tact between tires and track for a skid-free jump. So many starters get their

tires “sticky” by spinning in place just before pulling up to the line.

Dr. Jim Tumblin mentions that civic boosters including Fountain City native Carlos C. Campbell advocated for sav-ing the mountainous region that became the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

“Their rallying cry for preservation, tourism and recreation sustained a successful grassroots educational campaign and fundraising to create the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, now the most visited national park,” Tumblin says.

graduate during the school’s centennial year.

“We fi rst thought there was a graduating class that year (1913), but there wasn’t,” Hill says. “The fi rst graduat-ing class was in 1915.”

He says the steering com-mittee considered holding a special event at the Tennes-see Theatre, the Knoxville Expo Center or at one of the churches in Corryton. But in the end, they chose the most logical place for the party.

“Everybody wanted to be here, at Gibbs High.”

Johnson played on the Gibbs High basketball team that beat Oak Ridge in March 1962 to prevent the Wildcats from advancing to the state tournament.

“That was a big deal. And Gibbs went on a run there in the mid-1960s in which it had some great basketball teams.”

Longmire is the grand-daughter of alums Joe and Rebecca Longmire, whose community roots run deep. Rebecca was also the

school’s longtime librarian. Hill is going to share

some personal memories, but mainly focus on the ex-perience of a current high school student.

He says he found a news-paper article stating that the school was built in 1913 for $12,000, which is less than the campus’ average month-ly utility bill.

Hill’s mother, Betty Byer-ly, and grandmother Bonnie Sharp both attended Gibbs High. He says by happen-stance, he noticed that their photos (“Mom in 1949 as a cheerleader (and) my grand-mother on the 1927 girls basketball team”) made it into this year’s Gibbs High annual without anyone knowing their identities.

“And we have two gradu-ates who are 100 and 103 years old who are planning on being here Friday night.

“It’s been rewarding to speak with alumni, to sing with alumni and I’m just honored to be able to be the speaker for the present.”

Va. He and wife Jennifer will now be an eight-hour drive from home, dou-bly important because the couple have a one-year-old daughter, Kinley, and an-other on the way.

In the dark ages before social media, the last mental image I had of Dewayne was of us singing Chuck Berry’s “Sweet Little 16” the night before our graduation dur-ing a riverboat excursion on the Tennessee. At our 10-year class reunion, I heard that he was overseas.

And, in 2011, I found De-wayne in Hawaii while on my honeymoon. He was liv-ing in Kailua, an area he said “was sort of like Mayberry,” at least compared to Hono-lulu. Halls Has It! in Hawaii, or at least in Kailua, because 1970 Halls High graduate Brenda Mynatt Correa also

lives there. As the Statler Broth-

ers once sang, “It’s a small, small world.”

Dewayne is earning a master’s degree in man-agement from American Military University this year. He doesn’t yet know what he’ll do when he gets 20 years in with the Army, but did say he hopes to buy some land near Halls and have it paid off by the time he retires.

Call me corny, but as I drove off after meeting the Perrys for dinner last week I thought of a line from an-other song by the Statlers:

“The Class of ’57 had its dreams.”

So, too, did the Halls High Class of ’96. It warms the heart to see that De-wayne’s dreams have come true a million times.

blood. I’ve seen lots of folks who start racing in their teens, then they get busy raising a family and run out of time and money. But once the kids are gone, they come back to it,” says Chuck Var-ner, long-time owner of the dragway, and owner still of The Hot Rod Barn on Broad-way in Fountain City.

Varner’s always been in tune with the hot rod crowd, selling high performance parts to racers for decades. He’s a 1964 graduate of Halls High, and now lives in an historic log home in White Pine with his wife of 40-plus years, Carol.

“The downturn in the economy didn’t kill us here at the parts shop. People are gonna have their toys,” said Varner.

Knoxville Dragstrip didn’t start out as a straight track. Back in the mid-’60s, Eddie Harvey bought a big tract with a long fl at piece of bot-tom land between Bull Run Creek and Maynardville Pike, on a curve that was soon to be bypassed when the new highway opened.

That curve, now con-nected at both ends to the new highway, was renamed

Raceway Drive. “Daddy waited until the

new highway was fi nished before he started excavating for a half-mile oval track. He designed it all himself, built it – with just about perfect banks – promoted the business, and ran it,” says Brian Harvey, Eddie’s youngest kid.

Eddie, now 90, is retired on the family farm in the Ritta community where Brian and his late mother raised and trained Tennessee walking horses. The barns have been converted to garages, and Brian continues his father’s tradition of fi xing things.

“There are so many stories about my Daddy, we could write a book. He was into everything. As a teenager, he was such a good mechanic and welder, the Army used him stateside to work on

equipment during World War II. He was an accomplished artist, a racecar builder, a business owner, the list goes on. In the late ’40s, he built the swing sets at Fountain City Park,” says Brian.

A few years after Ed-die opened the racetrack, he changed it to do double duty as a fi gure-eight track, upping the excitement with racers balancing speed with avoiding T-bone collisions. A short while later, he wiped out the oval and redesigned it into an eighth-mile drag-strip. The only problem was, there wasn’t always enough room for stopping past the fi nish line.

“We had a few end up in the creek,” says Varner. “When I bought the busi-ness, I backed up the start to get more length at the far end. That, and putting in barriers above the creek bank, pretty much solved the problem.”

Eddie shut down the race-way in the ’70s, and Varner and a partner resurrected it in 1985. Varner sold out in 2000, when he says he just couldn’t keep the schedule any longer.

“I was working six days a week at the Hot Rod Barn, running the race track a lot of weekends ’til late at night, and spending Sundays mow-ing at home. A body can’t

take it forever,” he says.The business has held its

own through various owners since Varner, and, a couple of years ago, got two enthu-siastic owners, Madisonville brothers T. J. and Tommy Harrill.

“We’re seeing a lot of ac-tion and excitement, and we just love having the families here. We’ve got juniors with mini long cars, grandpar-ents and parents backing young drivers, husbands and wives teaming up, older guys, clubs, you name it,” says Tommy.

He mirrors Varner’s take on owning the dragstrip: “It’s a whole lot of work, so we have to love it to keep doing it.”

It’s a nice place for some weekend fun. T. J. and Tommy have renovated the service facility, where the concession stand serves hot fresh food (including fried bologna sandwiches) and the bathrooms are clean and handy. The upper fl oor serves as offi ces and the

watchtower, where competi-tors are announced and tim-ers are operated.

Knoxville Dragstrip draws visitors to Union County from all over the United States. The track is sanctioned by the International Hot Rod Association, and qualifying winners earn points toward championships and, hope-fully, big sponsorships.

County coffers receive thousands of dollars in sales tax from Knoxville Dragway’s revenue, the am-bulance service is hired to stand by during every event, and sales of food, fuel and lodging to out of town rac-ers benefi t businesses all through the area.

“Asphalt Assault,” was held yesterday (May 19). Smoky Mountain Harley Da-vidson sponsored the motor-cycle event, a fundraiser for the Boys and Girls Club of

Blount County. Racers had a chance to win money and bike owners can showed off their babies at a bike show.

This weekend, the twice annual Drag Bash is back, with drag racing, a car show and swap meet. Gates open at 10 a.m. on Saturday, May 25, for the event. Info: Scott Abbott (865) 591-0335 or www.DragBashNostalgia.com.

“We’d love to have every-one come on down and have a good time with us. It’s 100 percent fun in a beautiful setting, and we’re improving the facility every chance we get,” says Tommy Harrill.

Every Friday night is “test and tune,” and races are scheduled every Saturday through November. Specta-tor tickets normally run $10, and kids are free.

Knox County Commis-sioner Richard Briggs, a medical doctor, will have a fundraiser Thursday, May 23, at the Sequoyah Hills home of two other doctors, Penny Lynch and Kimbro Maguire.

Briggs is challenging state Sen. Stacey Camp-fi eld, and the Republican primary is still a year away in August 2014.

It promises to be a high profi le race. State Rep. Steve Hall will be active for Campfi eld.

■ The resignation of Eddie Mannis as deputy mayor to Mayor Rogero after only 18 months has raised many eyebrows as to why his tenure was so brief.

Some have speculated that Mannis, owner of Prestige Cleaners, did not adjust well to the slower pace of decision-making at city hall with lengthy con-sultations and committees slowing down decisions as opposed to quick action at his successful business.

Others speculated that Prestige Cleaners needed Mannis back full-time.

Whatever the real reasons may be, Man-nis’s tenure was so short that his time may not be remembered for long.

Additionally, Mannis may have experienced enough of governmental ways to abandon running for mayor in 2019 when Rogero is term-limited from seeking a third term.

However, there will be no lack of mayoral con-tenders then, including at least two current members of city council.

Mannis’s former home on Kingston Pike has now sold and he lives down-town.

Many people did not feel Mannis was entirely happy with the pace of city government.

■ Christy Branscom, who is moving into Man-nis’ offi ce in a few weeks, is only $400 short of what Mannis makes in salary. Mannis is at $146,944 while Branscom is at $146,508.

She will get the 2.5 per-cent pay raise on July 1, but city spokesperson Jesse Mayshark did not know if her salary will also bump to the Mannis level as well.

The 2.5 percent will give her another $3,650 a year which will move her past $150,000.

Mayor Rogero is set at $130,000 and cannot be changed except by council passing a separate ordi-

Briggs and Mannis and more

nance which would take effect when the mayor elected in 2015 takes offi ce that December.

At least fi ve city em-ployees now make more than Rogero, and the county mayor makes more than the city mayor.

Don’t be surprised if Rogero leaves Branscom’s current job vacant and saves the city $154,000. With Branscom now depu-ty mayor, her soon-to-be-former position becomes much less important to be fi lled.

■ Pam Reeves ap-pears to be on a glide path to a lifetime federal judge-ship following Judge Tom Phillips who is resigning this summer.

Both Sens. Alexander and Corker seem comfort-able with her, and the state Democratic estab-lishment led by U.S. Rep. Jim Cooper is for her.

The White House has done extensive vetting before announcing the replacement so it can go to the U.S. Senate, where confi rmations for federal district judges in the best of circumstances take at least 100 days from the day the paperwork goes to the Senate Judiciary Committee to a vote on the Senate fl oor.

If that timetable holds, Reeves could be confi rmed by early November.

However, there are nominees for district judgeships in Georgia and Arizona where the wait has exceeded 500 days, according to the Wall Street Journal. That is not expected to be the case here.

Reeves will likely be unable to hear any cases involving the city of Knoxville as her husband, Charles Swanson, is the city law director who would represent the city.

The other federal judge, Thomas Varlan, who would be assigned many of those cases, is a former Knoxville city law director.

Reeves will be the fi rst woman to serve as a fed-eral judge in the eastern district and is also highly popular and respected in the area.

Attorney General Randy Nichols has responded to last week’s editorial column, stating that the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation is not at fault for the apparent delay in the investigation of Trustee John Duncan.

We appreciate Nichols’ response, because hereto-fore it seemed that everyone was hiding behind a maybe/maybe not investigation that’s growing gray with age.

Here is his statement:“Sandra-“As you know my policy

is not to comment on on-going investigations or to

even confi rm there is an in-vestigation. We ask TBI to do the same on most of our cases.

“While I am not going to address the specifi c matters you referred to in your ar-ticle of May 13, I feel obli-gated to report to you that the TBI in general and TBI

Nichols: TBI blamelessAgent Jerry Spoon in par-ticular, have always done everything, and more, we have asked them to do in ev-ery investigation in which they have been involved with the Knox County DA's Offi ce. And they have done their investigations with te-nacity and skill.

“Any complaints or criti-cism should be aimed in my direction, since whether or when charges are brought in cases investigated by the TBI in Knox County are de-cisions made solely by me. (signed) Randy.”

Randy Nichols and I are roughly the same age and

have been friends since he opened his law practice in Halls in the early 1970s.

He is wrapping up an unblemished career as criminal judge and attorney general. He’s worked tire-lessly to attack drug use as the source of crime, and to fi nd helpful ways to treat these perpetrators.

But he’s been slow to pursue political corruption, perhaps because he’s afraid of not getting anything else done.

I wrote back: “This (Dun-can) investigation needs to end, one way or the other. Please help. – s.”

McIntyre touts schools budgetBy Sandra Clark

Dr. Jim McIntyre got so folksy that he actually said “y’all” when speaking about his budget goals last week in Powell.

Everyone seemed happy. That’s a long way from last year when folks battled over McIntyre’s request for $35 million in new dollars which would have required a tax increase.

McIntyre has not aban-doned his goals, but he has become more realistic about the political climate of Knox County. This year’s budget calls for a increase of $13.39 million, which Mayor Tim Burchett says can be funded within available tax rev-enues.

Big ticket items are: ■ $2.5 million for raises

for non-certifi ed school staff

■ $7.59 million for teach-er pay increases (a blend of merit pay and 2.5 percent

tendent Jim McIntyre following Tuesday’s meeting. Photo by S. Clark

across-the-boards) ■ 1.72 million for en-

hanced school security (including the addition of 58 armed security guards, putting at least one in every school)

McIntyre said the budget allows Knox County Schools to sustain the gains made last year, including the reading initiative in grades 1-3 funded by $3 million of Burchett-found money.

KCS retains the instruc-tional coaches put in place to help teachers and the community schools that joined Pond Gap at Nor-wood, Lonsdale and Green Magnet Academy.

Knox County teacher pay ranks 35th in the state, he said, and that’s not good enough.

Technology gains are in-cluded. McIntyre spoke of the 11 schools that were se-lected from the 28 that com-peted for 1:1 technology.

That means extensive computer labs in elemen-tary schools and a personal tablet or iPad in the hands of each middle and high school student.

“We can put this technol-ogy in place (at 11 schools) and demonstrate success,” he said. “Technology will not replace teachers, but it will help them differenti-ate education for individual students.”

Sheriff ’s Offi ce online with dangerous dogsBy Sandra Clark

The Knox County Sher-iff’s Offi ce gets “a couple of calls a week” about serious dog bites, says Captain Bob-by Hubbs. “And the trend is growing.”

Hubbs and Animal Con-trol offi cer Frankie Byrne spoke Friday to the Norwood Kiwanis Club at Puleo’s Grille on Merchants Drive.

Byrne said 5,477 animal control calls came in during 2010. Examples include a young boy bitten by a neigh-bor’s dog, requiring fi ve stitches to his hand.

A woman required 50 stitches to her mouth af-ter being attacked by her friend’s dog.

Also common are ani-mal-on-animal attacks.

Animal Control includes livestock care, animal cru-elty and neglect, owner edu-cation and rabies control.

Byrne noticed an injured bird outside the restaurant before the meeting. “She picked it up and put it in her

truck,” said Hubbs. “She will take it to the UT Vet School after we fi nish here.”

At the recent mega-meet-ing of neighborhood groups, Hubbs said a common com-plaint was lack of enforce-ment of the leash law and dangerous dogs running loose.

So the Sheriff’s Offi ce re-sponded by creating a sec-

tion of its website to list the descriptions and addresses of dangerous dogs.

“This is an interactive mapping system similar to the Sex Offender registry. At a glance, citizens can see these dogs which have been declared dangerous in Knox County.

“This provides one more layer of protection to neigh-

bors who may not have oth-erwise known that an ag-gressive dog lived nearby,” said Hubbs.

Knox County ordinance Sec. 6-32 requires that all pets stay on their property at all times, unless being walked on a leash.

Ordinance Sec. 6-72 cov-er the dangerous dog classi-fi cations.

TCA 44-8-408 includes penalties for dogs that run at large; and TCA 44-17-120 deals with “destruction of dog causing death or serious injury to human.”

The website is at www.knoxsheriff.org/.

major worries while pre-paring for “The Odd Cou-ple” was casting the Pigeon Sisters. Specifi cally, the Powell Playhouse founder/director feared that she wouldn’t fi nd actors who could pull off playing the silly, giggly, fl irtatious Eng-lish sisters without lapsing into Americanese in un-guarded moments.

But when Lorna Pace and Diane Jones showed up to audition for the roles of Gwendolyn and Cecily, they were pitch perfect. Black was delighted.

‘Odd Couple’ draws interesting cast

The Pigeon Sisters, played by Lorna Pace and Diane Jones Photo by Nancy Anderson

Nita Buell Black, founding di-

rector of the Powell Playhouse

“The time was coming to an end for auditions, and I really was getting concerned,” Black said. “But they showed up and tried out and I almost fell out of my seat. Afterward, I walked by them and they were still in that British mode, and I told them, ‘You really don’t have to do that.’”

Everybody laughed.Because of course they

do have to do that. They’re the real deal. While they’re not sisters, they’re as Eng-lish as a good cup of tea. Pace is from northern England, near Manches-ter, Jones from St Albans, Hertfordshire, not far from London. And although it’s undetectable to the Ameri-can ear, they say their ac-cents are quite different.

“She has a long A and I have a short A,” Pace said. “She says ‘gloss,’ and I say ‘glass.’”

They are close friends and neighbors and natu-ralized citizens who have lived in the USA for 30-plus years. They live in the same Farragut neighbor-hood and are both mem-bers of a philanthropic group called Daughters of the British Empire. Jones is a vice president of Pin-nacle Financial Partners. Pace works at SES Group in Oak Ridge, where she does marketing and writes proposals. She heard about the play from colleagues Gina Jones (no relation) and Jeff Carter, who are also affiliated with Pow-ell Playhouse and enlisted Diane Jones to come along for the audition. Gina con-spired with Pace and Jones to surprise Black at the au-dition.

And the Pigeon sisters aren’t the only cast mem-bers who are having a good time preparing for the play.

Others are having fun, too. Some of Oscar and Felix’s four poker buddies – like Craig Taylor Brown (Murray the cop) and Scott Smith (Speed, the irritable perfectionist) and Steven Miller (Vinnie the lucky guy) – are experienced actors. The fourth, John Small (Roy the accoun-tant), is a newbie.

Smith, who plays the part of the Angel Gabriel in the Knoxville Nativity Pageant, says a big part of The Odd Couple’s appeal is because it is reminiscent of a simpler time.

“It’s back when life wasn’t complicated,” he said. “Guys could spend time together, love each

other and like each other and just go off and be to-gether and be friends.”

“Except Vinnie,” Small said. “His wife’s always telling him what to do.”

Brian Murphy, who owns the Gold Exchange and a gun store in Powell, plays the leering, lovable slob Oscar.

Felix the neat freak is played by Flash Black, who is government rela-tions chair of JDRF East Tennessee (the country’s leading Type 1 Diabetes re-search organization). Mur-

phy played Lt. Rooney in the playhouse production of Arsenic and Old Lace. Black is a neophyte who al-ways had a yen to act.

“Flash had always wanted to be in a play, and his son told him he was a natural Felix. And he is! In rehearsal I tell him, ‘Flash you’ve got to untie that tie and make it look like you’ve been walking around all night.’ I’m going to put an apron on him, the whole schmear,” Nita Black said.

The descendants of those who oppressed youShall come bending low to you, and all who despised youshall bow down at your feet;they shall call you the City of the Lord,the Zion of the Holy One of Israel.

(Isaiah 60: 14 NRSV)

There’s a tree out in the backyard,That never has been broken by the wind.And the reason it’s still standin’It was strong enough to bend.

(recorded by Tanya Tucker, 1988)

Sometimes the truth comes at me from the most unexpected places.

I have to admit that coun-try music is not my native tongue, but occasionally I am struck by the wisdom im-

parted through its homespun words.

I remember when I spent a few days in the hospital while I was in college, and my room-mate loved to cry along with her country tunes. I thought

Strong enough to bend

that she was torturing herself, but in actuality, it seemed to make her feel better.

In fact, I am irreverent enough about country music to laugh at the old joke: What happens if you play a coun-try song backwards? The guy gets his wife back, his car back and his house back!

On a recent dark and rainy night, I heard Tanya Tuck-

er’s song “Strong Enough to Bend,” and began to consider the wisdom in country music. I also began to think about what strength looks like.

We all know that there are people in this world who are stubborn. I am one of them.

A friend said to me re-cently, “Maybe determined would be a better description of you.” I appreciated her ef-fort to be kind, and I would like to think she is right, but I am not at all sure.

When I was a child, we had a Lombardy poplar in the back yard. It was tall and slender and pliable, and in a fi erce wind, it would bow nearly to the ground, but it would not break. I also have seen large, sturdy oaks felled by the wind, because they could not bend.

So what can we learn from trees and country music? That it is important to be strong enough to bend. But there is more.

My favorite movie of all time is “A Man for All Sea-sons,” the story of Sir Thomas More, who was willing to go to his death rather than com-promise his principles. He knew who he was, and where he began and ended, and how far he could bend. He was beheaded by the decree of King Henry VIII on a charge of treason because he would not condone the divorce and remarriage of the king.

It is important to be strong enough to bend. It is equally important to be strong enough to refuse to bend when circumstances call for standing tall.

Stokely Center is going, going …

Nobody asked me to do the offi cial eulogy. Consid-ering the shortage of insti-tutional memory, perhaps nobody realized I was there more than anybody not on the university payroll.

I didn’t see it all but I was at courtside, in the offi ces and dressing room almost ev-ery day during the Ray Mears era and some before and af-ter – a thousand practices, hundreds of games, a parade of special players, friends and foes, many who truly earned their historical niche.

When the building was the UT Armory Fieldhouse and the godfathers wanted to name it for Robert R. Neyland, the General po-litely said thanks but no thanks. Being an engineer, he did not approve of the de-sign or maybe he knew there would be a better offer.

I recall the fi rst game, 72-71 over Wyoming, Dec. 2, 1958. I also remember 1962 and the last game of coach

Celebration of life: Stokely Center

John Sines’ 4-19 season. At-torney G. Edwin Friar was the only person seated in the big bleacher section be-hind the south goal. Atten-dance was 515. I suggested listing fans as survivors in the newspaper story. Sports editor Tom Siler vetoed that bright idea.

Mears made a magical dif-ference. He raised the bar, in winning and entertainment. Tennessee basketball was forever changed. William B. Stokely’s gift of $500,000 in-spired arena expansion and provided the name.

So many memories, so many smiles …

A photo of Kentucky coach Adolph Rupp was once the dart board in Mears’ pri-vate dressing room.

There was a little wooden stepstool so associate coach Stu Aberdeen could see in the mirror to shave.

Orange chairs were in perfect lines in the players’ meeting room. The captain had a white chair. Every-thing was in its appointed place in Big Orange Country.

A.W. Davis was the Rut-ledge Rifl e. Howard Bayne was chairman of the boards. Danny Schultz was the great shooter before Jimmy Eng-land. Bill Justus was the classic competitor. Ron Widby refused to lose. He once put 50 on LSU. Rodney Woods was a coach on the fl oor. Mike Edwards could hit from outer spaces.

Memories … Tom Boer-winkle was a sensational success story, in part be-cause of Stu’s coaching broom. How about the Vol-unteer Classic when Temple held the ball and Tennessee won, 11-6? The Orange Tie Club was faithful even in foul weather.

Ernie Grunfeld and

Bernard King made the mid-1970s spectacular. Ab-erdeen did it, luring the all-Americans from New York City. Tenacity? Yes. Cheat? I don’t think so.

Unforgettable was the night David Moss marched out as best he could, on his artifi cial leg, to say goodbye – March 8, 1977. He died three years later.

Good times … Globetrot-ter warm-ups, “Sweet Geor-gia Brown,” John Pascual wrestling the bear, Roger Peltz juggling three balls while riding a unicycle, happy evenings heckling coaches Dale Brown and Joe B. Hall.

“Sit down, Joe, sit down.”Kentucky defeated the

Vols fi ve times at Stokely. Tennessee wins included the one over Rupp’s Runts that spoiled a 23-0 season and a 76-57 romp in the championship race of ’67 and the terrifi c 103-98 vic-tory in ’75 when nobody mentioned that Mears pre-ferred a deliberate pace.

Once upon a time, Ten-nessee defeated Chattanoo-ga and ETSU in the same evening. Gary Carter picked off an inbounds pass and prevented a humbling loss to American U. Tony White scored 51 on Valentine’s Day 1987. Dale Ellis hit some very long jumpers. Remem-ber the experimental game with 12-feet goals?

Don DeVoe made his mark in Stokely. Pat Summitt won more games. Her teams took many giant steps toward na-tional championships.

Elvis and others ap-peared in Stokely concerts. John Tate lost the biggest fi ght of his boxing life. Lou-isville defeated Kentucky in a tournament matchup they called the dream game.

Pistol Pete Maravich endured frustration in the persona of guard Billy Hann. Charles Barkley, round mound of rebounds, got a pizza delivery he didn’t expect. Bobby Knight waved his arm too frantically and lost his watch.

Only the building is go-ing. Memories remain.Marvin West invites reader reaction. His

address is westwest6@netzero.com.

While still in a pilot phase, Knox County has moved aggressive-ly from the founding of the fi rst community school at Pond Gap El-ementary to the launch of three more commu-nity schools last fall. More will open this fall.

Government offi -cials, business lead-ers, and social service agencies are publicly on board with the com-munity school concept which, broadly defi ned, is the gradual con-version of traditional schools to multiple-use community centers that support children, families and neighbor-hoods. Community en-gagement is critical to their success.

Taxpayers who have invested in school con-struction could have access to school build-ings as meeting places and benefi t from ex-panded services and training opportunities.

City Mayor Madeline Rogero in a recent tele-vision interview said, “We do community de-velopment and we tend to focus on the bricks and mortar, the afford-able housing, energy effi ciency and such. In reality, community de-velopment is also about strengthening the so-cial fabric, the socio-economic issues related to families and the chil-dren.”

Rogero has included $100,000 in the pro-posed city budget for community schools.

A new fi ve-year school plan is being written and community schools are expected to be a major component.

HALLS/FOUNTAIN CITY Shopper news • MAY 20, 2013 • A-7 faithBy Cindy Taylor

After serving 12 years at Fountain City UMC, asso-ciate pastor Melissa Smith is ready to take on a new “challenge.”

As an ordained elder in the United Method-ist Church, Smith is no stranger to a challenge. She has studied at a Bap-tist seminary, served in in-ner-city ministries and has piloted contemporary wor-ship and youth programs. Smith will be moving from a congregation of more than 1,000 to become lead pastor at Riverstone UMC. The membership there is just above 50.

“Fountain City UMC

took a chance by giving a woman with a Baptist seminary degree a posi-tion,” said Smith. “I just knew I was supposed to be at another church but God placed me here.”

Smith began at the church in 2001 as youth director and transitioned into a pastoral role six years later. She says leav-ing is bittersweet. Both the position and the people will be hard to leave.

“Things are moving in a great direction here so it is a good time to leave. I have incredibly close friends here who have been with me dur-ing some of the highest and lowest points of my life and

I will miss them.” Smith says she will be

transitioning to one of the most nontraditional Meth-odist churches she has heard of. That is exactly what she had been pray-ing for. She hopes to reach those who would not nor-mally step foot in a tradi-tional church.

“I am so grateful for the people and the love and support I have received here both in coming and now in going. It has been a wonderful place to be but as a friend recently said to me, ‘You can’t stay in Dis-neyland forever.’”

The church will hold a toast and roast for Smith

By Cindy TaylorLast June, a family of

seven sold their belongings to spend at least two years as missionaries in Ghana. They are back for a six-week furlough to tell their story at various churches and other ministries.

Reid and Robin Beebe and their five boys moved to Ghana with the inten-tion of sharing the gospel while ministering to the needs of the Ghanaian people.

“The whole reason we have come home at this time is to witness Mathi-ang graduate from college,” said Robin. “When I met this young man is when my world grew. This is when I began to understand that the world I was living in wasn’t the world many oth-

ers were living in.”Mathiang Gutnyin was

one of the 3,800 Lost Boys of Sudan who were given refuge in the U.S. in 2001 after the second Sudanese Civil War displaced and orphaned them. In Sudan he had one pencil and one composition book for an entire year of school. While in a refugee camp he sur-vived on one cup of sugar, five kilos of corn and a cup of oil every two weeks for 13 years.

Mathiang became a son in the hearts of the Beebes in 2001. He was the family’s in-troduction to Africa and the beginning of a ministry that is now winding its way across more than one country.

A year of living in Gha-na has brought positive change to the lives of many

of the people the Beebes have encountered, includ-ing food and clean water. But the Beebes say they have been changed as well.

“The Christians in Ghana are so active and alive in their worship,” said Reid. “So much of how we lived life here in the U.S. seems trivial now. People in Ghana are trusting God and there is nothing else to fall back on.”

Many churches across Knoxville have members who are actively support-ing the Beebes. One person had little to give but felt compelled to help. He re-cently passed away but his wife continued to support the ministry. The Beebes will be speaking at many of those churches as well as at Water Angels Ministry before heading back for a

impression that our family is special because of where

we live,” said Reid. “We are just people doing what God has called us to do.”

NEWS FROM LOY JOHNSON REAL ESTATE

Brookstone Ridge off ers homes, building lots near Norris Lake

Loy Johnson Real Estatewww.LoyJohnson.com

494-7211

The lack of demand for new homes during the past fi ve years has been a serious deterrent to new home starts and new subdivisions. While homebuyers are now enter-ing the marketplace to take advan-tage of low interest rates, they are discovering a limited choice of new homes and building lots.

One new home community, Brookstone Ridge, has more than 30 building sites, all with water, sewer and underground electric, ready for construction. Located on Norris Freeway, just south of Mountain Road and only a short drive north of Halls, this

neighborhood is within minutes of Norris Lake and the 2,300-acre Norris Watershed, with its hiking and biking trails. Homes here are close to shopping ar-

eas in Norris, Clinton and Halls and just a short 30-minute drive to downtown Knoxville via I-75. For anyone working in Oak Ridge, the commute is rela-

tively easy and uncongested.Lynn Leach, owner of Double

L Construction, LLC, and one of the developers of Brookstone, says that he has seen an increase in buyer interest in Brookstone’s lots and homes. He notes that a number of new prospects are be-ing referred by current residents who express satisfaction with the family atmosphere and peace and quiet of the neighborhood.

“Since there is only one ac-cess in and out of the subdivi-sion, our owners see Brookstone as a very safe, secure commu-nity,” said Leach.

With more than 70 homes already occupied, Brookstone, with its well-maintained lawns and professionally-landscaped entrance, looks like a stable and growing community. Loy John-son of Loy Johnson Real Estate, the sales and marketing fi rm for Brookstone, noted that the prices for new homes will range from the mid-$150’s to just a little above $200,000. Building lots are also available.

Fountain City Art Center benefi tsThe weather held to light

sprinkles and sunny inter-ludes for Fountain City Art Center’s ninth annual Gar-den Party, held at Ginger and Bill Baxter’s estate atop Black Oak Ridge.

Garden Party nets $12K

Dottie Justice and Cheri Compton sit at the Alice in

Wonderland table. Compton and her mother, Sue

Lane, created the table décor and won best table at

the art center’s garden party. Photos by Libby MorganThe new iris bed bloomed on cue for the party with huge colorful blooms, and the dianthus (“pinks”) were full-out gorgeous, carpeting borders all through the gar-dens with bright pink.

The “full tent” event had fi ne art surrounding the crowd with items for auc-tion and decorated tables.

The Alice in Wonderland-themed table, created by art center board member Sue Lane and her daughter Cheri Compton, was voted best by the partygoers.

Place settings included small bottles of champagne and parcels of candy with tags saying “Eat Me,” “Open Me,” “Take Me” or “Drink Me,” with polka dots, checks and ric rac in a color scheme of red, black and white, and Alice in Wonderland props such as mushrooms and teacups.

Art center vice president Ken Clayton decorated two tables in honor of his aunt, a member of the Order of Fifi -nella, female pilots in action during WWII. He displayed her leather helmet and of-fi cial documents along with dishes depicting WWII-era airplanes.

After lunch, Clayton and

Sylvia Williams, art center director, tallies up auction

purchases at the end of the event, which garnered

over $12,000 for operating expenses of the Fountain

City Art Center.

By Dr. Jim TumblinWhen Evelyn God-

dard Kirby passed away, Fountain City lost another icon. She was a noted local writer, genealogist and his-torian.

Evelyn was born in Johnson City, Tenn., on

Dec. 30, 1907, the d au g hter of Har-vey O. and Dama Goddard. The rea-son her p a r e n t s were liv-

ing in Johnson City was historic in and of itself. Her father was a partner with J. Patrick Roddy in the early days of Coca-Cola. The Coca-Cola Bottling Works of Johnson City was incorporated on Feb. 6, 1906, but some evidence indicates that it was actu-ally established in 1905. It was a branch of the Roddy Manufacturing Company in Knoxville, which was granted the franchise for northeast Tennessee in 1902. They originally re-ceived bottled Coca-Cola shipped by rail until they were able to open the branch plant with H. O. Goddard as the manager.

By about 1912, H.O. had been transferred back to Knoxville and moved his

wife and two daughters, Pauline, 10, and Evelyn, 5, to a house on Park Street (now Magnolia Avenue), which was then near the Coca-Cola plant. By 1914, the family had relocated to Fountain City, where Eve-lyn would live in the same house for almost 90 years.

When Joyce Sterling encouraged Evelyn to col-lect and publish her rec-ollections of growing up in Fountain City, Kirby’s book, “Early Fountain City Memories,” became a part of Fountain City history. It was published by Fountain City United Methodist Church in 2000 and chronicles her early school days, her teen years and her marriage to W.A. “Buddie” Kirby.

She started school in Fountain City Grammar School, which was then located on the fi rst fl oor of the Odd Fellows Hall on Hotel Avenue in easy walk-ing distance of the God-dard home. Evelyn’s vivid memories of her teacher and schoolmates are re-corded there and provide a rare look into that era. Her recollection of most of the families living on Campus Lane, Gresham Road, Ho-tel Avenue and Broadway, with the children’s names and often with their later career choices, adds an important chapter to our

local history.As a 1925 graduate

of Central High School, Evelyn was a classmate and friend to many of the older families, the Gen-trys, Harringtons, Shet-terlys, Bondurants and many others. One fellow student, Roy Acuff, would later become important in her life when B. Ray Kirby (Bashful Brother Oswald), a longtime member of Acuff’s band, the Smoky Mountain Boys, and him-self a legend in country music, became her broth-er-in-law.

Buddie Kirby (1904-1983), owner of a Fountain City barber shop, raised bird dogs and participated in fi eld trials over the state, and he and Evelyn made many friends through that hobby.

Evelyn Goddard Kirby was the oldest member of Fountain City United Methodist Church, a long-time patron of the East Tennessee Historical So-ciety and a member of the First Families of Tennes-see through her Webb-Mc-Nutt ancestry. She is sur-vived by several cousins, nieces and nephews.

With her burial in the Anderson-Gouffon Cem-etery on Tazewell Pike, an-other chapter of Fountain City history comes to an end. She will be missed.

Evelyn Kirby

Charles Williams led the live auction where attendees hotly competed for items.

The art center benefi ted to the tune of more than $12,000, according to art center director Sylvia Wil-liams.

“The weather surprised

us and cooperated beauti-fully,” she said. The Baxters’ gardens were absolutely exquisite. Since last year’s garden party, they’ve added new features like the iris garden, and the elaborate bamboo fencing and gate to the lotus pond area.

“We really want to thank the Baxters for sharing their gardens and provid-ing the tents, tables and chairs. The garden party is our largest annual fund-raising event, essential for our operating expenses. If it weren’t for Ginger and Bill’s generosity, the Art

Center might not exist to-day.”

■ Spring Show opens May 24The art center will host

the Fountain City Art Guild Annual Spring Show from May 24 through June 20.

Opening reception is Fri-day, May 24, beginning at 6:30 p.m. with awards an-nounced at 7 p.m. A student exhibit runs concurrently featuring the oil paintings of students of Aurora Har-rison Bull.

Knoxville Zoo fosters learningBy Wendy Smith

As the Knoxville Zoo’s outreach and outdoor science coordinator, Steve McGaffin has carted furry, scaly and feathery friends all over East Tennessee in the Zoomobile. But for the past two years, McGaf-fin has been attracting another sort of friend – the six-legged kind.

Last year, the zoo was awarded a grant from Dow Chemical for the installation of pollination gardens at Green, West View, Beaumont and Dogwood elementary schools. This year, a grant from the East Ten-nessee Foundation funded a fifth garden at Sarah Moore Greene El-ementary School.

The Pollinator Garden Project al-lows students to see an entire eco-system within a 250-square-foot area, McGaffin says. Native f low-ering plants, like bee balm, black-eyed susans and purple coneflow-ers attract herbivores, omnivores and parasites, and birds come to feast on the crawling and buzzing insects.

All of those critters do valuable work. The bees, f lies and beetles will help pollinate Sarah Moore Greene Elementary’s Jeffersonian Gardens, three raised beds that were recently planted with peas, Thomas Jefferson’s favorite food. Assistant principal Tanna Nicely, who planted raised beds at Dog-wood Elementary before coming to Sarah Moore Greene last year, spearheaded the project.

The heirloom garden is one of the reasons five Sarah Moore Greene students were chosen to travel to Washington, D.C., in April to help plant Michelle Obama’s kitchen garden. The students will return to the White House at the end of May.

The pollinator garden will also provide opportunities for students to become citizen scientists. For ex-ample, students might collect data on the lifecycle of butterfly weed, says McGaffin. After document-ing when the plant emerges, forms leaves, f lowers, produces seeds and dries up, students can submit the information to the National Phre-nology Network, which will use the data to study climate change.

“By studying these changes, stu-dents understand what’s happen-ing with the cli-mate.”

An addi-tional benefit of studying a garden is simply being outside. Studies have shown that getting kids outdoors helps them focus better in the classroom, he says.

Plus, it’s good, messy fun. Last spring, after they had been kept indoors for several days due to a

pollination garden.

Students from Sevierville watch lions in the Valley of the Kings exhibit, which

opened last summer. More than 37,000 students from the region visited with

zoo with reduced or free admission last year thanks to the Zoofund for Kids.

“We want to make sure everybody has the opportunity to come to the zoo,”

says Tina Rolen, Knoxville Zoo public relations director. Photos by Wendy Smith

downtown mulch fire, students were in the process of planting f lowers in a pollinator garden when the teacher announced it was time for recess. About half of them elect-ed to keep working in the garden, McGaffin says.

“They don’t consider this work,” laughs Nicely.

Education is what the Knoxville Zoo is all about, says the zoo’s pub-lic relations director, Tina Rolen.

“It’s disguised as fun, but the goal is to help students connect

with the animals so they will help

with conserva-tion and under-stand their part

in saving some of these creatures.”

One of the biggest ways the zoo helps students is through the Zoofund for Kids. The fund allows students to visit the zoo for half-price on field trips, and Ti-tle I-eligible students visit for free. In 2012, the Knoxville Zoo offered reduced or free admission to more

than 37,000 students from across the region, Rolen says.

Another program that benefits students is Zoo Boxes. Teachers can check out themed boxes that con-

tain videos, books and lesson plans.It’s important to inspire students

to care, she says.“They’re the ones who are going

to make the changes.”

Kmart has always been a large contributor to the March of Dimes. Employees at the Halls location hosted a car wash and lunch May 11 to promote the cause.

“We have been doing something every week,” said Barbara Kidwell. “Em-ployees have funded a lot of what we are selling today.”

While the weather put a damper on the car wash, volunteers were in high spirits selling hot dogs, pop-corn and other goodies.

“We started in March and have almost reached our halfway point,” said em-ployee Kortni Nay.

“We still have until the end of June.”

Vendors also donated many of the products used so that 100 percent of the funds could go to support the March of Dimes.

The store goal is $10,000. Kmart employees Linda Houser, Halls store manager Teri Wallace, Kortni Nay and Barbara

No damper on the Dimes

By Alvin NanceIn August, one of our lon-

gest serving KCDC com-m i s s i o n -ers stepped down from the board. I am very g r a t e f u l for Juanita C a n n o n ’ s service to

KCDC. Her tenure on the board saw many positive changes for this city.

Today (May 20), she is be-ing honored by the city of Knoxville for her service. “Juanita Cannon Street,” a street in the soon-to-be revi-talized Five Points neighbor-

hood, will be unveiled at a ceremony in Paul Hogue P ark.

Knoxville Mayor Madeline Rogero and other city offi cials will present Cannon with a ceremonial street sign, and she is welcome to visit the real sign posted in the Five Points neighborhood at any time. The street runs behind Paul Hogue Park and connects Wilson and Selma avenues.

During her 18-year tenure on the KCDC board, Cannon helped bring about many changes in Knoxville pub-lic housing and saw many neighborhoods restored. Five Points has been a focus of both KCDC and the city for the past several years.

Cannon and her col-

leagues on the KCDC board approved plans for a new senior housing complex, the Residences at Eastport, and recently, for family-style duplex housing to replace blighted properties. More than 180 old units in Walter P. Taylor Homes were de-molished during this time to decrease the density of the neighborhood.

Today, with the help of ded-icated volunteers like Cannon, Five Points is a different place than it was fi ve years ago; and in 10 years, we hope to see it reinvigorated in the same way as Mechanicsville.

During her years on the board, Cannon also over-saw the successful HOPE VI

Stroll down Juanita Cannon Street

Nance

News from Knoxville’s Community Development Corporation (KCDC)

project, which restored the Mechanicsville neighbor-hood that has been set up as a model project for the De-partment of Housing and Ur-ban Development across the region.

Cannon has a passion for improving public hous-ing because of her personal experience. She grew up in Austin Homes, which she characterized as a close-knit community. In addition to her work at KCDC, Cannon was a Knox County school teacher for 40 years. We at KCDC have come to see her in the same way as her for-mer students – as a guiding force, a mentor and leader.

We’re proud to dedicate this street today in honor of Juanita Cannon’s excellent service to this community.

HPUD sets evening meeting

Sandra Clark

Hallsdale Powell Util-ity District commissioners will meet Thursday, June 20, at 6 p.m. at the offi ce on Cunningham Road. This is the second evening meet-ing, and customers who are monitoring the district hope for a large attendance.

Bonnie Holloway asked Shopper News to heavily publicize the meeting.

“I’ve learned more than I thought possible by attend-ing these meetings,” she said. Holloway is so com-mitted to getting informa-tion about the utility district out to consumers that she printed fl yers and stuffed them into paper boxes be-fore the last evening meet-ing.

The commissioners met last Monday in regular ses-sion. CEO Darren Cardwell reported 26 meters and 17 sewer hookups came online in April. The district treated 218.4 million gallons of wa-ter and 304.1 million gal-lons of wastewater.

Randall French, who lives on Rifl e Range Road, asked for credits during the summer when customers are watering gardens.

“You try to save money one way (by growing food) and spend it another (by higher sewer bills).”

French said KUB gives credits and he believes HPUD should as well.

We checked with KUB and learned that their pro-gram has two rules:

1. Residential customers must have received service since the previous Oct. 1 at the same address.

2. Monthly water use must be at least 40 percent higher in the summer.

If these conditions are met, KUB automatically applies a watering credit to amounts above 40 per-cent of usage during June through September. The credits appear on the July, August, September and Oc-tober bills.

A secondary water meter can be used to help custom-ers with pools or irrigation systems. Customers pay for water use but not for sewer use since the water doesn’t enter the wastewater sys-tem. Both HPUD and KUB offer this service.

Cardwell said the dis-trict is working on offering watering credits and “hit a software snag.” He expects to bring a proposal to the board in June. “It will aver-age the sewer bill over time.”

Also at HPUD, the board approved the low bid of $1,181,600 to W&O Con-struction for upgrades at the Melton Hill Water Treat-ment Plant.

Cardwell said the project will add two membranes to guarantee capacity. Finan-cial offi cer James Smith said the funding was part of a previously approved bond issue.

was the perfect time for a celebration of living and eating healthier. The school has earned Bronze Level status in the HealthierUS

School Challenge, an ini-tiative of Michelle Obama in her campaign to raise a healthier generation of kids.

“Gresham is one of only 6,000 schools out of 100,000 nationwide that

have been recognized for the work it takes to be a HealthierUS school. This means you have a lot more color on your plate with 55 percent more fresh fruits and vegetables and 25 to

35 whole grain choices a week. Your kitchen has had to change the way they do things, making more foods here,” Jon Dickl, county di-rector of school nutrition, told the students.

Becoming a HealthierUS school means more than changing the menu at breakfast and lunch.

Gresham teachers Ani Roma (health) and Janelle Crawford (phys-ed) have been working together to re-cord program requirements of teaching healthy eating messages and physical ac-tivity time.

The program encourages schools to integrate health education into science, lan-guage arts, and reading and writing classes.

“Gresham has great lead-ership in Donna Parker. This school is one of only four out of 88 schools in Knox County receiving the HealthierUS award, and this proves how special Gresham is,” said Dr. Clif-ford Davis, Knox County ex-ecutive director of second-ary schools.

NEWS FROM TEMPLE BAPTIST ACADEMY

K4 program enrolling for fallTemple Baptist Academy is now

enrolling students, like Beloved

Umwatari, pictured here, for the

new K4 program beginning this

fall. K4 will be a half-day program

meeting Monday through Friday

during the school year. Financial

On May 13, Temple Baptist Academy hosted the 2013 kindergarten graduation program and ceremony. The program is a yearly highlight for students, teachers and parents. This year’s pro-gram featured students demonstrating their mastery of academic and Bible subjects, serenad-ing the audience with their favorite songs, and displaying the diversity of their personalities. They truly were a “cast of characters” that not only stole the show, but also stole the hearts of those who watched.

The students put on the play “Little Bo Peep,” which creatively incorpo-rated characters from a variety of children’s sto-ries, poems and rhymes, including Humpty Dumpty, Little Boy Blue, Jack and Jill, and Peter Peter Pumpkin-eater, among others. Kinder-garten teacher Paulette

Field Day and Walk-A-Thon raise funds

Deeringer matched each role to the colorful per-sonalities of the students.

After the play con-cluded, Dr. Clarence Sexton, pastor of Temple Baptist Church, spoke to the audience. He empha-sized the opportunity that families and teach-ers alike have to influ-ence the next generation by giving students an academic and spiritual foundation. Sexton con-gratulated each gradu-ate as they received their kindergarten diplomas.

Family and friends came from near and far to see the many re-hearsed and not-so-re-hearsed moments at the annual program. The students began prepar-ing for their special end-of-year event in January.

Deeringer, a veteran teacher, directs the kin-dergarten program at Temple Baptist Acad-emy. Deeringer has been teaching for more than 30 years, 21 of which have been at Temple.

“Mrs. Deeringer is fa-

mous here. A large number of our students, includ-ing high school students, have had Mrs. Deeringer as a teacher,” said Temple Academy principal David Whitaker.

Reflecting on the year, Deeringer said, “What a wonderful time we’ve had this year, working hard, learning, growing, laughing and enjoying each other. We have made some sweet friendships. I always learn as I teach. God al-ways blesses hard work, and these students have worked hard and have been blessed and are a blessing to me. They performed their special parts in such a way as to bring delight to all who watched. ”

Several of the Temple High School seniors graduating this year had Deeringer as their kin-dergarten teacher. All of them, without exception, have said that she made

a real impact on their lives, and they cherish

the influence she has had on them.

On May 3, Temple Elemen-tary students spent the day at Mt. Moriah Christian Camp for field day activities and to raise money through a walk-a-thon to fund school improve-ment projects.

NURSING EXCELLENCE

Fort Sanders honors clinical staff for excellenceFort Sanders Regional Medical Center

recently announced the 2013 winners of the hospital’s annual Clinical Excellence in Nursing Awards. Thirty-fi ve staff members from throughout the facility were recognized during a special National Nursing Week cer-emony.

The awards signify the exceptional care and compassion each honored individual regularly gives to his or her patients. The Fort Sanders Nursing Excellence Awards are especially meaningful because the employ-ees are nominated by those who provide care

beside them, their nursing co-workers. The fi nal winners are then selected by a panel of hospital leaders that includes past honorees.

The Registered Nurse winners of this year’s Clinical Excellence Awards are: Veron-ica Baxter, 7 North; Emily Bobbitt, 5 North; Jody Campbell, Post Anesthesia; Kayla Da-vis, 9 North; Brenda Dunn, Surgery; Caro-lyn Goodman, Case Management; Jessica Heldman Harvey, 3 West; Rachael Hurst, 2 North; Trish Hurst, Emergency; Danny Jones, Ambulatory Infusion; Kelly Martin, Nursery; Brenda Mertz, 6 North; Kathy Neal,

OP/Day Surgery; Michael Pasierb, Med/Surg ICU; Melissa Roberts, PNRC 4 West; Courtney Rutherford, Cath Lab; Sarah Sa-graves, 5 West; Lori Stallings, Labor & De-livery; Lynn Tobin, GI Lab; Shannon Tracey, 8 North; Macy Wade, PNRC, 4 East; Wanda White, 3 North; and Justin Widener, Cardio-vascular ICU.

Hospitalwide winners receiving Excel-lence Awards are: Laura Big Eagle, CNA, IMC; Lynsi Harris, PNRC Tech; Kathy Jones, Department Assistant; Brandon Kling, HUC, 7N; Christian Lewellyn, ER Tech; Matt Nich-

ols, Telemetry Tech; Chris Phipps, OB Tech;Amber Siskey, Surgery Tech; and BrendaWest, LPN, 8N.

In addition to the Clinical ExcellenceAwards, the Fort Sanders nursing staff se-lected Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center(PNRC) nurse Julie Thornburg and Wom-en’s Services nurse Peggy Klein the recipi-ents of the 2013 Peggy Mayer GilbertsonOutstanding Nurse of the Year Award. Thehospital’s physicians honored Cardiovascu-lar ICU nurse Michelle Chae with the 2013Elizabeth Killeffer Award. Congratulations!

Nurses earn hospital’s top recognition

This year, two Peggy Mayer Gilbert-son fellowship win-ners have been an-nounced. The Peggy Mayer Gilbertson award provides funds for continuing edu-cation and has been given since 1989 in memory of the wife of Dr. Bob Gilbertson, a former chief of staff at the hospital.

The fi rst recipient is Julie Thornburg, an RN at the Patri-cia Neal Rehabilita-tion Center. Julie has been with the Center for 20 years, serving thousands of patients and their families. Fellow PNRC nurse Macy Wade nominated Thornburg saying her loyalty and self-less service to her patients and peers does not go unno-ticed. “Julie makes the people around her, both staff and patient, believe in themselves, and she is incapable of see-ing the difference she makes because it is never about her. This is what makes her a great nurse,” says Wade.

The second recipi-ent is Peggy Klein of Women’s Services. Peggy has been with Fort Sanders for 17 years. She is an out-standing nurse and an asset to all Women’s Services units. Accord-ing to Women’s Ser-vices Director Bernie Hurst, “Peggy always has a positive, caring attitude and her pa-tients praise her for the care she provides them. The doctors and staff highly respect her for her knowledge and

expertise. Peggy chairs the Process Improvement commit-tee and is always looking for ways we can provide better quality of care for our patients,” says Hurst. “Peggy highly deserves being recognized with the Peggy Mayer Gilbert-son Award.”

Candidates for the Gilbertson Fellowship are nomi-nated by their fellow nursing peers, and the recipient is chosen by the hospital’s nursing leadership staff.

Angel is looking for a guardian

Summer’s coming, and pet owners are looking for-ward to getting outside with their furry friends. It’s a good time to assess your pet’s general health and fi t-ness level.

Dr. Marti Drum, assis-tant professor at the UT vet school and an expert in pet fi tness, offers some guide-lines to help you determine whether your animal com-panion might need a little shapeup.

View your pet from above. You should see a curved indentation just be-hind the rib cage. A straight line from head to tail could mean that your pet is over-weight. If his middle is wid-er than his shoulders and hips, he’s probably obese.

View your pet from the side. There should be a nice “tuck” behind the rib

cage, before the hind legs. A straight line or sag in the belly area likely means your pet is overweight or obese. Cats are especially prone to belly fat.

Gently run your fi n-gers along your pet’s rib cage. The ribs should be felt easily with very little pres-sure.

Check for extra pad-ding and folds at the base of the tail. Except in some rare breeds like Shar-Pei, an extra roll of skin in that area indicates obesity.

If you’re feeding your pet table scraps, reconsider.

Dr. Drum says, “Table scraps are very calori-cally dense. A visibly small

amount of food to a person is a large amount for a pet. One ounce of cheese eaten by a 20-pound dog is equiv-alent to two and a half ham-burgers eaten by a person. A cup of milk for a cat equals fi ve Hershey bars for a hu-man.”

Scraps can cause vomit-ing and diarrhea, and may contain potentially toxic in-gredients not recognized by the average pet owner. So as much as you want to indulge the little beggar at your feet, resist the urge and stick to food and treats made just for pets.

Pets are built for daily ex-ercise. If you’re a “weekend warrior” who hikes with

Happiness is a fi t puppy your dog, that dog needs ac-tivity during the week. Just a 10- to 30-minute walk twice a day will help condi-tion your pal for weekend activities. And you benefi t, too!

A fenced yard doesn’t automatically guarantee ex-ercise for your pet; napping in the springtime sun is too tempting. Get out there and throw the ball! And taking your dog with you to the mailbox or out in the yard while you’re weeding are easy ways to build in exer-cise.

As with humans, the consequences of pet obe-sity are dire. Arthritis, ACL tears and other orthopedic problems, diabetes, heart disease, high blood pres-sure, chronic skin infections – overweight pets are sus-ceptible to all of these. And those vet bills add up.

So do your pet, yourself and your pocketbook a favor – shape up and be happier and healthier for summer!

Last week’s columnmentioned that the shooting of any bald or golden eagle, or hawk of any type, is a federal offense and should be reported. I neglected to specify the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service at 1-800-344-9453.

By Ruth WhiteStephanie Doyal and Hannah Crawford have teamed up

to help the Corryton community. Through the Girl Scouts, the duo is working toward

earning the Gold Award, the Girl Scouts’ highest award. Their projects, though separate, provide fresh vegetables through the Rutherford United Methodist food pantry.

Doyal’s project is called “Glorious Gardening” and the initial stages include planting, weeding and general care of the garden, which is located on the Rutherford United Methodist Church grounds. Several community members helped plant green beans, tomatoes, cucumbers, and squash, and Doyal will help maintain the garden and monitor its growth.

Crawford’s project is called “Hometown Harvest” and will deal with the harvesting and distribution of the fresh produce. Community members will have an opportunity to have ownership in the project as they assist in the process of maintaining and harvesting the vegetables.

The pair is thankful for the Union County High School agriculture department, Holden Nursery and community donations to help make the project a success. Long after the girls receive their Girl Scout Gold Awards, the fruits of their labor will continue to grow.Stephanie Doyal plants vegetables in the garden at Rutherford

older, going back to school can often be a daunting task. But the University of Tennessee and Pellissippi State Community College offer opportunities to at-tend classes free of charge as long as there is room.

At Pellissippi State, au-diting a course allows the student to do everything paying students do except earn credit toward a de-gree. There is no tuition or additional fees for campus access or the student rec-reation center.

UT offers a reduced course fee of $7 per graduate and undergraduate credit hour to a maximum of $75.

Both colleges offer online courses as well, but attending a class or enrichment program

Auditable coursesin person allows the partici-pant to be active in the com-munity and meet new people.

For more information on UT’s courses, visit www.utk.edu or visit www.pstcc.edu/finance/cashier/waiver.php to look at Pellissippi’s classes.
