By Betty BeanA hearing for a Fountain City
business raided and padlocked by the Knoxville Police Depart-ment last month under the city’s nuisance ordinance has been postponed until Thursday, Feb. 16, because the store’s landlord has moved to join the case.
Hi Life Wonderland 2 was one of four such establishments shut down by KPD under a tem-porary injunction.
An affi davit included in the court fi le says the store was the subject of an undercover inves-tigation that commenced last November and described the store as “… an establishment where illegal drug and drug par-aphernalia sales and purchases are rampant and are made by owners, management, employ-ees and customers.”
The affi davit also says under-cover agents posing as custom-ers bought synthetic marijuana, which was “located under the counter and accessible only to employees,” on Dec. 16, Dec. 22, Dec. 29, Jan. 3 and Jan. 27.
On two of those occasions, Dec. 16 and Jan. 27, the under-cover offi cer also asked for and purchased drug paraphernalia to smoke the synthetic mari-juana with as well, the affi davit says.
“In short, the Hi Life is satu-rated with illegal drug sales and drug paraphernalia sales. The
ownership is not only failing to take steps to stop the nuisance behavior, but it is encouraging and participating in the activi-ties. The owners of the business are some of the most blatant bad actors in the said nuisance.
“All in all, the investigation shows that the Hi Life operates as a haven for criminal activ-ity and is known in the area as such, and is a continued threat to this community.”
Assistant District Attorney General Eric Counts said that the continuance was granted to allow the landlord, Ft. Sand-ers GP, to take civil action, if it chooses to do so.
Attorney Matthew Gross-man of Frantz, McConnell & Seymour told Judge Bob McGee that a conviction on a nuisance charge would breach the three-year lease between his client and Hi Life owner Nicky N. Wyrick of Baton Rouge, La.
“We had no idea of the na-ture of the allegations,” Gross-man said. “And we don’t want to end up with a permanent injunction against us going into our own building. The lease agreement expressly prohibits maintenance of a nuisance.”
“We’ve been looking for co-operative solutions,” Wyrick’s lawyer T. Scott Jones said.
Counts said that Attorney General Randy Nichols’ posi-tion is “no deals.”
By Betty BeanSchool offi cials say they are do-
ing all they can to address mold problems in por-table classrooms at Shannondale El-ementary School:
Flooring and subfl ooring re-placed as needed.
Classrooms and associated air-con-
ditioning equipment cleaned. Preliminary environmental test-
ing to ensure mold successfully re-mediated.
“High dust collectors” in the 5th grade, music and art classrooms re-moved.
The 5th grade, music and art classrooms thoroughly cleaned and sanitized.
Additional and precautionary air quality testing using a certifi ed in-dependent third party contractor.
Discovered, repaired window leak in music room; drywall and in-sulation replaced as needed.
Checked roofi ng in the affected areas for possible leaks.
UV scrubbing equipment used in affected rooms; data loggers in-stalled to monitor humidity and CO2 levels.
Portable exteriors, entry/exit ramps pressure washed.
Consulted with health depart-ment.
And that was back in September. In January, Knox County Schools gave Shannondale’s portable class-rooms a clean bill of health, but now concerns over health issues

Anger grows among Shannondale parents
have reached the boiling point: parents are organizing, protesting, requesting transfers. Many say the most pressing issue is going unad-dressed:
“All we asked was would you please move the kids while this is going on,” said Martha Smith, who is among a growing number of par-ents who want their children taken out of their temporary classrooms, now.
Where would she like for them to go?
“The gym. The library. Bring an-other portable in. Anywhere. Just get them out of there,” she said.
Smith says she’s unwilling to watch as her daughter Dreau, a Shannondale 5th grader, gets sicker and sicker.
“She is now an asthmatic. She has chronic headaches, extremely bad fatigue, itchy, burning eyes, and respiratory problems. There are other kids breaking out with fungal infections on their faces, rhinitis, sore throats. … Some kids had to transfer per doctor’s orders. It’s not just one or two kids who are sick. Take a classroom of 20 students – 11 are absent all with the same symp-toms. There might be a problem. It’s ridiculous that these kids are going to have to go through this.”
Smith, who has reluctantly ap-plied for a transfer for Dreau, says Superintendent Dr. Jim McIntyre’s decision to await the results of a new round of testing before considering taking the students out of the affect-ed classrooms is unacceptable. The
Hi Life hearing postponed

Don’t know how you’ll spend Valentine’s Day, but I got an early Valentine last week. In the Lions den, you might say.

Here’s what happened: Gib Galyon called me two
weeks ago. “You all are coming to our
(Fountain City) Lions Club Valentine dinner, right?”
“Well, Gib, Jenn (my wife) can’t make it, but I probably can.”
“Can you sing?”Pause. “Well, how about one
song, Gib?”
“How about eight or nine?”
Heh, heh. Good ol’ Gib. I told him that Lynn
Bennett is the talent in the room but that I’d sing an Elvis song for former Cen-tral High teacher Mary Sue Miller. Plus, I knew I’d get to see some friends and, most importantly, eat some of Kaye Galyon’s good cookin.’
So, I spilled lasagna all
over my shirt and belted out a bad rendition of “Can’t Help Falling in Love” and got out of the way for Lynn Bennett. I’ve told you about Lynn before. Man, what a voice.
She sang “When I Fall in Love” and “My Funny Val-entine” and that World War II favorite, “I’ll Be Seeing You,” Johnny Carson’s fa-vorite song. In other words, she sang real music.
Looking around the room, decorated in red for Valentine’s Day, Lions Club president Dick McMillan said, “Yeah, it all looks pret-ty, except for the men!”
Before I forget it, Dick wanted me to tell you the Li-ons Club’s annual chili sup-per fundraiser is 4 to 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 16, at the Lions Club Building at Fountain City Park. Cost is $5 for all-you-can-eat.
“The bad news is I’m cooking and the guy helping me is Ben Easterday,” Dick said.
As I was leaving the room, shaking hands and slap-ping backs, somebody said, “Thanks for coming. You’re part of us.”
I can’t think of a better place to celebrate an early Valentine’s Day than in this Lions den.
Here’s some big news for book lovers in Halls. The Halls Branch Library has gone wireless.
Library spokesperson Mary Pom Claiborne says the Halls Branch began deliver-ing Wi-Fi service Feb. 6.
“Due to connectivity is-sues, the Halls Branch Li-brary is one of the last fa-
Halls Branch Library goes wireless
in Halls,” says library direc-tor Myretta Black. “Through wireless service, patrons can access the Internet and the library’s databases with their own personal devices.”
Wonder if my boss will let me move my “offi ce” to one
of the easy chairs at the li-brary?
Probably not, but I’ll see you over there from time to time anyway. Don’t forget your laptop! Visit Jake Mabe online at jakemabe.blogspot.com.
cilities of the Knox County Public Library system to offer a wireless hot spot for smart phones, laptops and tablet computers,” she said in a release.
“Wi-Fi access is a simple, important technology, and I am happy that we are now able to provide it as a ser-vice to our Halls Library pa-trons,” Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett said. “Wire-less Internet access has been available at our other library facilities for some time, and it is important that the children, seniors and other residents in the Halls community also have access to a resource they might not have at home.”
“Providing wireless ser-vice has been a priority for us, and we are so very pleased that the technical issues have been resolved so that we can now offer wire-less service to our patrons

Photo submitted
affected classrooms include two classes of 5th graders and music and art classes for the entire student body.
School board member In-dya Kincannon represents Shannondale and is very concerned.
“One of the biggest diffi -culties is the testing and the science says there’s noth-ing out of the ordinary that would compromise one’s health, but that’s inconsis-tent with what some parents are seeing in their kids,” she said. “It’s pretty clear that some parents are still seeing health problems.”
Kincannon said she be-lieves that Knox County Schools has been respon-
sive, but hasn’t gotten a handle on the problem. The solution, she said, is to get rid of the portable class-rooms and build a perma-nent addition.
“I have pledged to continue to push for that,” she said.
She also said that Shan-nondale’s excellent academic reputation has added to its overcrowding problems:
“Builders build in the Shannondale zone and homes sell at a premium. Test score evidence shows that Shannondale is a re-ally good school and people think it’s worth it to have a house in the Shannondale zone. Shannondale is a vic-tim of its own success.”

Field of dreams Ewart meets major-leaguers at Braves fantasy camp
By Jake MabeYou’re standing at home
plate ready to bat. You gaze out to the pitcher’s mound. Going into his trademark submarine-style pitch is for-mer Atlanta Braves reliever Brad Clontz. He was once a major leaguer!
You foul off the fi rst two pitches, praying, “Please, God, don’t let me strike out.”
You choke up on the bat, as you were taught to do, know-ing you’re going to swing no matter what.
Whack! You connect bat to ball,
seeing as you run to fi rst base the line drive you’ve just hit go over the former major-leaguer’s head, straight up the middle, solid contact. Your
hit helps lead your team, a group of fans, to victory over the best of the best of the At-lanta Braves.
No, this isn’t a dream. It isn’t even an unused reel from “Field of Dreams.” It’s what happened to Tennova Health and Fitness Center execu-tive director John Ewart at the Braves Fantasy Camp in Kissimmee, Fla., the week of Jan. 24-29.
Oh, and I didn’t even tell you the best part. Ewart made contact with the ball – it was a line out, but still – pitched by future Hall of Famer pitcher Tom Glavine.
“It was the best week,” Ewart says. “I was abso-lutely living the dream. It was amazing.”
The camp, which is now being managed by former UT and Atlanta Braves pitcher Greg McMichael, gives fans an opportunity to spend fi ve days and nights experi-encing spring training, be-ing coached by and playing against former Braves leg-ends (names like Otis Nixon, Sid Bream and Javy Lopez), having a catch with guys like Dale Murphy and getting two authentic jerseys with your name on the back, almost as if you’d been drafted as the team’s newest prospect.
It isn’t cheap (the 2012 price was $3,999 per person) but Ewart’s wife, Betsy, and daughter Megan bought it for him as a Christmas present.
Ewart is a good athlete – he
walked-on to the UT football program in the late 1990s, served in the U.S. Navy and stays in shape. But he knew he wasn’t ready for major league heat. He hadn’t even played baseball since Little League. But he trained with former major-leaguer Doug Bochtler at Cherokee North Baseball Academy, which got Ewart used to seeing major-league pitching and helped with his swing and timing.
When asked how intense the camp is, Ewart smiles.
“Here’s how intense it was. I was injured during stretch-ing. I strained my back before the start of camp.”
Not to worry. This is the major leagues. The trainers went to work. Ewart played.
The fi rst day is a skills test, a day for the Braves person-nel to evaluate the partici-pants. Teams are then draft-ed based on talent.
Ewart was drafted by the only current Braves major-league coach at the camp, former catcher Eddie Perez. After his fi rst two games, Ewart had two strikeouts and two walks. After his sec-ond strikeout, when he went down looking, Perez put his arm on Ewart’s shoulder.
“I didn’t draft you to watch the ball go by.”
Ewart went 6 for 10 the rest of the camp.
“These guys want to win as much as you do,” Ewart says. “His belief in me made me feel great (and) it was needed reinforcement of what suc-cess looks like. Don’t watch the ball. Swing at it.”
On the fourth day, in the third inning of Ewart’s game, Perez called his number as leadoff hitter. Warming up to pitch against him was Tom Glavine.
“Talk about a major league dream,” Ewart says. “It was almost surreal. I had an out of body experience.”
Glavine is throwing in the mid-60s. This is fan-tasy camp. He’s not trying to blow anything by you. Like he would do against Clontz, again Ewart prayed, “Dear God, don’t let me strike out.”
He fouled Glavine’s fi rst pitch down the third base line. Ewart says he kept star-ing at Glavine because, well, it’s Tom Glavine.
Jokester Sid Bream, in the other dugout, yells, “He’s star-ing you down!” Ewart says to himself, “Oh, my god.”
He turns around in the batter’s box. He stands in. He fouled off the second pitch.
The third pitch was either a changeup or a curve. Ew-art says it was easily a ball, but with two strikes, he was swinging. He lined out to third. But he’d made contact. With a ball pitched by Tom
Glavine. Glavine signed the ball
for him and wrote, “Nice line drive.”
Ewart’s hit off Clontz helped lead to the win, the fi rst time the Legends team has been defeated during Fantasy Camp. Ewart even avoided the old hidden ball trick (the pitcher acts like he has the ball, but the infi elder keeps it, waiting for the un-suspecting runner to lead off the base and be tagged out) perpetrated by Clontz and Greg Olson.
Ewart was the pitcher, too, when the Legends came to bat. Each camper had gotten one at-bat, but the Legends played a traditional three-out inning. Ewart got Marquis Grissom to line out to fi rst. He walked Javy Lopez, but got Sid Bream to hit a grounder. Bream was out on a fi elder’s choice (the umpire didn’t see the defensive tag on Lopez), but Lopez didn’t really try to beat the rundown. Three outs. Game over.
“The things I’ve done,” Ewart says, “are the things you dream about.”
McMichael, who is now senior advisor for alumni relations for the Braves, says that’s what the camp is all about. Participants also get to play golf, eat dinner and hang out with the Braves legends.
“We hear from a lot of guys that this was on their bucket list,” McMichael says. “John was great. We had a great time with him. He joked hard and we loved that. If we didn’t have great campers like John, it wouldn’t be the experience it is.”

There are plenty of kids who are happy and success-ful in a traditional school setting. They enjoy sports, or orchestra, or student gov-ernment, and they fi t nicely into the hole marked “con-ventional.”

Magnet programs help kids fi nd success
ing his West Knox friends.That’s the biggest ob-
stacle for kids who are con-sidering making the leap to a magnet program. With the exception of the L&N STEM Academy, all magnet programs are housed in ex-isting community schools. That means transfers will be thrown into a new cul-ture, as well as a new school. Since Austin-East is 89 per-cent African-American and Bearden High School is 84 percent white, the cultural chasm between the two is bound to be deep.
But diversity is another benefi t of the magnet pro-gram, and the county wants to provide opportunities that are exciting enough to draw kids, and parents, out of their comfort zone. Simon’s mother, Kelli Wil-son, is willing to take on the challenge of transporting him to either Austin-East
or West High School for its International Baccalaureate program.
“If he fi nds his niche, it’s worth it. We’re willing to do anything for him to enjoy school.”
That’s the primary objec-tive of the magnet program. Schools should provide “multiple pathways to suc-cess” for all students, says Superintendent Dr. Jim McIntyre.
It’s a beautiful thing that Knox County is striving to meet the educational needs of kids who don’t fi t into the “conventional” hole. And stellar programs at Austin-East and Beaumont Elemen-tary School give inner-city kids a glimpse of the world beyond their neighborhood. Peggy Burks Denny, direc-tor of the Austin-East dance company, says that 85 per-cent of the kids who partici-pate in her dance program
will go to college, where they will continue to dance.
Parents play a role in the success of the magnet pro-gram. They, like Kelli Wil-son, should place a high pri-ority on helping their kids fi nd success at school, even if it requires change.
The best way to experi-ence a magnet program, says Magnet Supervisor Daphne Odom, is to visit. Each has room to grow, and welcomes new students. “We want more babies in all of our magnet programs. We want waiting lists at each of our schools.”
The magnet transfer window for Knox County Schools is open until Feb. 20. To read about them, or download an application, visit the Magnet Schools Department on the Knox County Schools website.Wendy Smith is the community reporter

When will the Gloria Ray saga end? Not soon enough I am afraid.
While TVA offi cial and Knoxville Tourism and Sports Corporation board member Peyton Hairston made a motion to fi re her, most of the remaining board members voted for a two-week deferral. Meanwhile, Ray has a paid administrative leave (read paid vacation) before departing.
The big question now is whether the board gives Ray enough money to satisfy her and halt litigation. Will the public accept a costly buyout? Or will the board decide enough is enough and Ray actually owes money back to the KTSC?
Sen. Rick Santorum ■ winning Colorado, Missouri and Minnesota puts the focus even more on the March 6 Tennessee Republican primary where Romney has the GOP establishment support with Santorum, Gingrich and Paul having pockets of support.
Mitt Romney ■ has to win 60 percent of the total state primary vote to win all the GOP delegates. There will be a Romney for President rally at Jig and Reel at Central and Jackson in the Old City at 5 p.m. Monday, Feb. 20.
Expect a huge ■ GOP turnout in early voting and onMarch 6 as President Obama has the Democratic primary to himself and, locally, Knox Democrats have failed to nominate anyone to run for county law director or property assessor. If you want a voice in choosing the law director and property assessor, you must vote in the GOP primary.
The 27-member Charter Review Commis- ■sion will meet at 5 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 15, in the main assembly room. Interesting to see who is elected chair and vice chair.
Former Mayor Mike Ragsdale ■ and Allison Wa-gley were recently married. Congratulations.Contact Victor Ashe at [email protected]/.

Some kids just aren’t com-fortable in that hole. Maybe they don’t like sitting behind a desk all day. Or perhaps they have a creative passion, like dancing or photography, that can’t be satisfi ed in a traditional school setting. Or maybe their dreams are so big that they won’t fi t into any hole at all.
These are the kids who would most benefi t from Knox County’s magnet school program. There are several options to choose from, including a new School of Communications at Fulton High School.
All were touted at a re-cent magnet school fair held at the Knoxville Museum of Art. The museum reverber-ated with the sound and energy of the West African drummers and dancers who participate in Austin-East High School’s performing arts magnet program. The talent of the students was mesmerizing, and Simon Wilson, a West Valley Mid-dle School 8th grader, was drawn to the Austin-East information booth. His fa-ther is a professional musi-cian, he says, and he’d like to learn to play the drums. But he’s not sure about leav-
Whose side is Stacey on?
An open letter to Knox County Commission:You might want to think
a little harder about Sam McKenzie’s resolution to ask the state Senate to censure Stacey Campfi eld before you dismiss it out of hand.
The fact that McKenzie’s a Democrat and most of you are Republicans doesn’t oblige you to protect Camp-fi eld just because he bats for your team. What you ought to be paying more attention to is his work product – the stuff his constituents sent him to Nashville to do, sup-posedly.
On one hand, it’s under-standable that you have better things to do than study up on the national embarrassment that is Knox County’s senior state sena-tor, since most of his legisla-tion usually lands in some study committee slated to meet the second Tuesday of the week preceding the seventh Saturday after the third Wednesday. But as he fi nishes out his sophomore year in the General As-sembly’s deliberative body (that’s what they like to call themselves), you ought to
look at the stuff he considers important enough to sign and drop into the hopper. Some of it’s aimed directly at you.
Did any of you ask him to fi le SB1105, which would make you muster up a two-thirds vote to over-ride a mayoral veto? Did he bother to inform any of you about it before he fi led it? Doesn’t he even know this is already the requirement?
And what’s up with SB1104, which would take away your authority to con-fi rm the mayor’s appoint-ments to county boards and commissions? Who thinks that’s a good idea?
And how about SB3363, which would abolish the Metropolitan Planning Com-mission and transfer all its duties to you – did you put him up to that? If not, who did?
Whose side is Stacey Campfi eld on? Not yours.

School board member Mike McMillan with supporters Jack
Huddleston and Jack’s granddaughter, Emily Bunch, at Mc-
Millan’s rally last Tuesday at the Corryton Senior Center. Early
voting starts Wednesday, and the election is March 6.
Underwood is clear, best choiceMike McMillan, former
county commissioner and current school board mem-ber, is battling to keep his seat, faced by challenger Conley Underwood.
Underwood, who works at a family-owned business, comes out of the Carter Ele-mentary School PTSO where he served as treasurer and president. When the com-munity rallied to lobby for a new school building, rather than renovations, Under-wood was selected by his neighbors to lead the fi ght.
Persistently patient, Conley and Gina were the perfect faces for the effort. Even school board members who voted against them had nothing bad to say about their efforts.
And when Mayor Tim Burchett weighed in, the quixotic campaign suddenly became reality. Ground has been broken for a brand new school on Strawberry Plains Pike. Mike McMillan was front and center in the pic-ture.
“Congratulations on your new school,” I wrote to Conley after the school board vote. “You have just re-elected Mike McMillan for eternity.” (School board
members are not term-lim-ited.) The fellow in the seat gets blame or credit for what happens. Just ask Obama.
But Conley had been bit-ten by the school board bug. He knows that education is not about a building. It’s about the principals and parents, the teachers, cus-todians, cafeteria workers and even bus drivers who support student learning.
Up at the Corryton Senior Center last Tuesday, Jack Huddleston made the case for McMillan, who is serv-ing the unexpired term of Bill Phillips, who resigned.
“Conley was just a cheer-leader (for the new Carter school). He didn’t have a vote,” said Huddleston. McMillan voted “right” on building Carter, not closing Corryton Elementary and not outsourcing custodi-ans. So what’s not to like? said Jack. The retired city fi refi ghter has delayed his annual trip to Florida until
March in order to help Mc-Millan.
There’s no better yard sign guy in town than Jack.
Mike didn’t talk at his gathering. He stood by the door and watched former school board member Steve Hunley work the room. Huddleston estimated 80 folks came for the barbecue dinner.
Over at New Harvest Park on Thursday, Conley and Gina were surrounded by family and friends. It was their third such meet and greet, and Conley’s aunt, Shirley Underwood, was ev-erywhere. Before ending her career as the top aide to Su-perintendent Allen Morgan, Shirley Underwood taught English at both Gibbs and Carter high schools. She’s got former students with grandkids in school.
Former board member Jim Williams and former interim superintendent Roy Mullins were at the Under-wood event, along with a bunch of door-prize donat-ing business owners. I won a pedicure.
Yes, I’ve got a favor-ite in this race, and that’s Conley Underwood. I like his coach’s slogan: “Team
First,” and his operating strategy of being “positive, polite and respectful.” Most of all, I like his persistence and optimism. If elected, he will do a good job. If not elected, he’ll be right back at the school board lobbying for kids.
Jarret talks at Cedar Bluff
We were set for a big d e b a t e last Tues-day at the Council of West Knox County Ho-meowners. Law Direc-tor Joe Jar-ret is being challanged
in the March 6 Republican primary by former County Commissioner Bud Arm-strong.
But Bud’s mother-in-law passed away and he could not attend. Jarret opted not to campaign and spoke in-stead of current zoning is-sues.
John Schoonmaker passed out Jarret literature and we all went home.

Can’t get ’em all As is usually the case, Tennes-
see football talent scouts did not fi nd great riches in Tennessee.
Volunteer fans often com-plain about quantity and quali-ty of in-state prospects. Florida, Georgia, Alabama and Loui-siana are far ahead. Texas and California are another world.
We concede the Knoxville area is not a fountain of prep football life. It bubbles now and then. This time, UT signed all-around athlete Cody Blanc of Central High. Powell running back Dy’shawn Mobley chose Kentucky over Vanderbilt. LSU and Michigan came in too late.
Patton Robinette of Maryville, Gatorade player of the year in Tennessee, chose Vanderbilt over North Carolina. The 6-5 quarterback, leader of an undefeated state champi-onship team, had a Volunteer connection. His grandfather is former Tennessee basketball guard Pat Robinette.
Over the years, the distin-guished patriarch, a pillar in public education, shared tidbits about the lad. Patton exceeded the scouting report. It turns out ol’ granddad was modest.
Like Pat, Patton has bright-ness. His grade point average was 4.55. He scored the maxi-mum 36 on the ACT.
Tennessee did not recruit Robinette. The Vols went for QB Nathan Peterman of Bartram Trail High in St. Johns, Fla. He was 6A player of the year.
NFL playoffs reminded me that sometimes UT fails to rec-ognize talent under its nose. Garrett Reynolds of Carter High and North Carolina was side-by-side with Tyson Clabo of Farragut and Wake Forest in the Atlanta Falcons offensive line.
Both grew up in orange britches. Reynolds is the son of former Tennessee linebacker Art Reynolds. Tyson is the son of former Tennessee tackle Phil Clabo.
Tennessee thought young Reynolds was too slow. Ten-nessee thought young Clabo would be a suitable walk-on. Tennessee guessed wrong on what development and fi erce determination would do. How
wrong can you be? Clabo earns $5 million per season.
In a previous cycle, Chad Pennington went from Webb School to Marshall to the NFL and made even more.
I will not belabor the issue of Randall Cobb driving past the university on his way from Al-coa to Lexington, Ky. I will say that Harrison Smith of Catho-lic High is peaking at Notre Dame and that Will Jackson of Farragut was a freshman All-American at Georgia Tech.
There are historic land-marks. Leroy Thompson gained 5,987 yards at Austin-East and became the No. 1 prep prospect in America. Penn State got him. D.D. Lewis went from Fulton High to All-America honors at Mississippi State to the Dallas Cowboys to the College Football Hall of Fame.
In a previous century, Rob-ert R. Neyland and associates made the classic miscalcula-tion.
Jackie Parker was second-team at Young High until his senior season. He had spin-dly legs and skinny arms. His toes turned in. He suppos-edly smoked, drank and sped around town on a Cushman motor scooter, chasing girls. He caught one, pretty Peggy Jo Pease. They married when they were 16.
Tennessee wanted no part of that. Jones Junior College took a chance. Mississippi State needed help. Parker became a legend in Canadian pro football. Indeed, he ended up among the all-time greats.
Moral of this story? Some talent is obvious. Some is per-haps. You can’t sign ’em all. Sometimes, as in the case of James Cofer and Terry Minor of Rule High and Clemson, there are extenuating circumstances.Marvin West invites reader reaction. His

HISTORY AND MYSTERIES | Dr. Jim Tumblin
The Melrose Estate. On Melrose Avenue below the University of Tennessee’s Hess Hall, the gate to the Melrose Es-
tate was the scene of a tragic carriage accident on May 10, 1900. Photo courtesy C.M. McClung Historical Collection
The Knoxville Journal and Tribune of May 11, 1900, car-ried this headline: “Two Per-sons Killed in Runaway Accident (M.J. Condon, One of Knoxville’s Most Prominent Citizens, and his Guest, M.F. Shea of New York, Meet Tragic Deaths).”
Fannie Renshaw House O’Conner (1832-1923), widow of Thomas O’Conner (1836-82), who had been killed in the Mab-ry-O’Conner shootout on Gay Street, was still living at the fam-ily’s Melrose Estate. Yet another tragedy would occur, this time at the gates of the estate.
Melrose had once belonged to Judge Oliver P. Temple and was among the finest estates in Knox County. Its 20 acres con-tained the mansion, experimen-tal f lower and vegetable gardens, extensive fruit orchards, and an outstanding collection of orna-mental shrubs and trees. The plat was surrounded by a white picket fence with an impressive gate guarding the long road lead-ing up to the main house. It was at that gate that an ill-fated af-ternoon carriage ride would end in tragedy.
Michael J. Condon (1846-1900) had been born on Sept. 29, 1846, in Springfield, Mass., the son of John and Bridget Condon, natives of Clare County, Ireland. John Condon was a successful contractor who had secured the contract to build the Virginia Midland Railway in 1856. He had moved his family, including four sons – Michael J., James J. (1851-1903), Stephen P. (1855-1926) and Martin J. (1858-1940) – to Rogersville, Tenn., to over-see the job.
Michael received most of his early education there in Hawkins County
but, by age 13, he was at work with his father in the contracting busi-ness. After the Civil War, the family moved to Knoxville.
M.J. became one of the lead-ing contractors in Tennessee and probably built more miles of track than any other contractor. He built a portion of the Cincinnati Southern Railroad; the Knox-ville and Ohio from Caryville to Jellico; the Virginia and Georgia Railroad from Atlanta to Macon; part of the Kansas City, Mem-phis and Birmingham Railroad; part of the Georgia, Carolina and Northern Railroad; and part of the Memphis and Birmingham extension of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad. At the time of his death, he had just finished 91 miles of the Sea Board Air Line Railroad in Florida in six months’ time, one of the quick-est, if not the quickest, jobs of railroad construction in the South.
For a time Condon had a wholesale grocery business with his brother. He built the stone piers for the old Knox County Bridge, the Knoxville sewage system and also built 25 miles of roads in Sevier County. He served two terms on the board of aldermen (1883-1884) and was elected a Tennessee railroad commissioner in 1884. He was elected a member of the Knox-ville board of education in 1893 and continued to work on behalf of the schools until his death. His brother, Martin J., Knoxville mayor in 1888-89, was responsi-ble for the building of a new city hall on Market Square during his administration. It stood for more than 70 years.
On that May afternoon in 1900, Mr. and Mrs. Mortimer
Tragedy at Melrose Estate
F. Shea were in town from New York. Mortimer was also born in Massachusetts and had been Condon’s fast friend since child-hood. Shea had been clerk of the surrogate court of New York for several years and was hailed as one of the best who had ever served in that office. The Sheas had been vacationing in Hot Springs, N.C., for several days and had traveled on to Knoxville to visit the Condons. They were guests at the Imperial Hotel downtown.
Deciding to do some sightsee-ing, the two couples left the Con-don home on Asylum Ave. (now Western Ave.) only 20 minutes before the accident in a surrey drawn by two spirited horses, one of the best pairs to be found in the city. With the men in front and the women in the rear, the surrey drove past the remains of Fort Sanders, the scene of the Civil War battle, and proceeded down the steep 9th Street hill (now 17th Street).
The horses became excited when crowded by a vehicle on their f lanks, began to run and were eventually out of control. Upon reaching the pike in front of Melrose and seeing that the
turn could not be made, Condon attempted to guide the horses through the open gate at the O’Conner property. The surrey whirled into two poles stand-ing beside the gate about 3 feet apart.
The two men were hurled headlong against the fence, Con-don striking squarely on top of his head and Shea also suffering a glancing blow to his head. The two women were thrown from the surrey but did not strike the fence. Assistance arrived quickly but, within the hour, both men had died of their injuries. Neither woman was seriously injured.
Michael J. Condon, member of Immaculate Conception Catholic Church, member of the Catholic Knights of America and a mem-ber of the Irish Catholic Benevo-lent Union of America, was bur-ied in Calvary Cemetery. He was survived by his wife, Catherine Moore Condon (1850-1937); both of his parents; his three sons and his three brothers.
Sadly, his mother would lose her husband in 1901. Another son, James J. Condon, was mur-dered at the site of a road he was building to the mines of the Fen-tress Coal and Coke Co. in Fen-
tress County in 1903. He had heroically intervened to save the life of one of his employees when he was shot.
When Bridget Gray Condon died on Dec. 9, 1908, at 90 years of age, she was thought to be the second oldest woman in Knox County. She had lived to bury two of her sons after both had died tragic deaths.
Her youngest son, Martin J., who was mayor of Knoxville at only 30 years of age, had moved to New York and become presi-dent of one of the largest tobac-co companies. He had known both as business associates and friends the group of financiers credited with developing Amer-ica’s largest tobacco companies. He survived the Dukes, the Cobbs, the Hills and the Ryans to become the last of the old school of tobacco millionaires and died in Memphis in 1940 at 82 years of age.

Teach me your way, O Lord, and lead me on a level path because of my enemies.
-Psalm 27: 11 NRSV
Keep thou my feet: I do not ask to seeThe distant scene; one step enough for me.
-“Lead, Kindly Light,” Cardinal John Henry Newman, 1833
One step enough
It was novelist E. L. Doc-torow who observed, “Writ-ing is like driving at night in the fog. You can only see as far as your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way.”
I stumbled across that quote while researching something else altogether. It stopped me dead in my tracks with its plain language and its profound truth.
I wrote it down in my book of quotations, and kept going back to it, pondering the vari-ous levels of truth it inhabits.
It is certainly true on a completely literal level.
I remember a night when I lived in Pennsyl-vania. My family was vis-iting from Knoxville, and we had driven to Lancaster for the day. Coming home to Gettysburg that night, the thickest fog I have ever seen lay like a blanket over the countryside. Visibility was nil as we crept along the highway, my brother driving, and the rest of us praying silently and offer-ing encouragement aloud. We could see only a few feet ahead before the lights were swallowed by the fog, but we kept moving.
Finally, in a moment, like stepping through a door from one room to an-other, the fog ended, and the air was crisp and clear,
and above, the sky was bril-liant with stars. We gasped in wonder, and laughed, giddy with relief.
It is also true on a liter-ary level, as Doctorow in-tended. I sometimes start writing with a whiff of an idea, and let the idea find its own course. I am not sure where it will take me. I can only see “as far as my headlights.”
Doctorow’s quote is also true on a spiritual level. It is a decent working de-scription of faith.
None of us can see what lies ahead: not around the next bend in the road, not the content of the next newscast, not the next phone call in the middle of the night.
We can only keep mov-ing forward, taking the next step we can see, andthe next, and the next. We must trust the truth that when we have moved for-ward by that small incre-ment, we will be able to see a little farther than we could before.
Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou may-est observe to do according
to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee:
turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper withersoever
thou goest.Joshua 1:7

By Wendy SmithKnoxville Jewish Alli-
ance (KJA) past president Stephen Rosen has passed the baton to Renee Hyatt, a Townsend physician. Hyatt isn’t daunted by a post that requires frequent trips to Knoxville.
“Are you familiar with the Yiddish word ‘schlep’?” jokes Rosen.
Rosen and Hyatt sat down at the Highland Grill for a chat before the KJA’s an-nual fundraiser, Celebrating Tzedakah. Rosen was presi-dent for three tough years. It may have been a recession for businesses, but it’s been a depression for nonprofi ts, he says.
He is proud that the KJA maintained its commit-ment to the community and retained all of its employ-ees during tough fi nancial times. That says something about the organization, he says, given that many mem-bers were hurt by the eco-nomic slowdown.
He is also proud of KJA’s youth-oriented work in re-cent years. There has been an emphasis on developing leadership and a positive identity among Jewish kids due to problems they have encountered in schools.
“The community still has

issues with discrimination, even if it’s not obvious.” Knox County has been help-ful in dealing with the situa-tion, he says.
B’nai Tzedek, a program that fosters philanthro-py among teens, has also been a success. Teenagers set aside money and learn about money management and philanthropy with as-sistance from the East Ten-nessee Foundation.
Rosen is pleased that the preschool and day camp at the Arnstein Jewish Com-munity Center (AJCC) haven’t raised prices in sev-eral years. Preschool schol-arships are also available.
Hyatt concedes that she has big shoes to fi ll, but says
she has a vision for mak-ing the KJA more inviting. While more than 1,000 peo-ple currently participate in programs, she is optimistic that Judith Rosenberg, vice president for public rela-tions, will raise the organi-zation’s profi le.
The KJA was active dur-ing community events hon-oring Martin Luther King Jr. and has successfully reached out to members of the Knoxville Turkish Cul-tural Center, she says. She’d also like to work more close-ly with the Oak Ridge Jew-ish community.
Rosen echoes her senti-ments and says everyone is invited to events held at the AJCC.

Gibbs students get ready to rumble
By Ruth WhiteStudents at Gibbs High
School are getting ready to rumble. Not the type of rum-ble one might imagine, but a mission known as the Re-bound Rumble using robots.
The Robotics Club at Gibbs, in its first year, has designed and is currently building a robot that will compete in a basketball shootout in March. Team member Joseph Bates de-signed a robot using 3D software, and once the design is completed, raw parts will be used to make the dream a reality.
Through the support
and sponsorship of ORNL and JC Penney, the team is currently building a model that they hope will be able to move and shoot proper-ly. “We are optimistic but realistic at the same time,” said Bates.
The benefit of attend-ing the competition is not only winning a spot at the national-level competi-tion, but a chance to learn from veteran teams and return the following year with more experience and knowledge.
“Teamwork is impor-tant in this competition,” said team marketing head
Annie Goldman. “While at competition we hope to market our robot well and form alliances with other groups.”
Through the process of preparing to compete, the team has gained knowl-edge in the fields of robot-ics, mathematics, market-ing and technology and has learned the importance of
gracious professionalism. The hands-on experience and working together have pro-vided members with valuable skills that will be used long after high school ends.
The Rebound Rumble will be held at the Knox-ville Convention Center on March 1-3 and is open to the public.

Fashion show coming to Central High
Central senior Gage Beeler
models prom wear in tradi-

By Sandra ClarkWhen Central’s assistant
principal Kristen Brothers Jenkins was in high school herself, she discovered the fun and fund-raising pow-er of a schoolwide fashion show. Now the Central Bob-cats will make the magic in a fashion show set for 7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 16, in the school auditorium.
“It’s a great ticket,” said Elkins. For $10, you can see the fashion show and enter-tainment, plus have a warm chili supper at 6 p.m. With food and door prizes do-nated, money raised will go toward Project Graduation and the school’s PTSO.
Parent volunteers Lisa McKenzie and Brenda Ham-mett recruited the student models and many of the do-nations.
The lineup is spirit wear by freshmen, school wear by sophomores, date night by juniors and prom fashions by seniors.
Musical entertainment is by Byron Booker, Tennes-see’s high school teacher of
the year, and Sarah Gilpin, a graduation and scholarship coach at CHS. Senior Xia Tapp will also perform.
Tickets are available at the door on Thursday or in the front offi ce.

Question: “I've recently noticed that my gums bleed when I brush my teeth. Could this be a sign of serious health problems?”
Answer: “Sometimes bleeding gums can indeed be a sign of health problems in the mouth or other parts of the body. Most often such bleeding is indicative of some degree of gum disease (gingivitis or periodontitis), which can usually be treated successfully in the dental office. Periodontitis, the more severe type of gum disease, can lead to loss of some
or all of the teeth if dental care is not started soon enough. Gum disease also has been found recently to be associ-ated with a greater incidence of heart disease, diabetes, and stroke. I would strongly recommend a dental visit soon for an examination of your teeth and gums.”
Questions for “Dental Answers” are welcomed and should be sent to our address at 7409 Temple Acres Drive, Knoxville, TN, 37938.

Middle school team wins conference
By Jake MabeHalls High School wres-
tling coach Shannon Sayne calls this “a season of ups and downs.
“If we could get rid of in-juries we’d be a pretty decent team,” Sayne says. “We’re still young. We’ve got no seniors and two juniors. The rest are freshmen and sophomores.
“But the future’s look-ing bright and the middle school feeder program is coming along.”
More on that in a minute. Six wrestlers were seeded
to wrestle in the Region 2 tournament at Gibbs High last weekend. Results were unavailable at press time.
Two were seeded No. 1: Zane Robertson, a junior who couldn’t compete due to injury; and junior Con-nor Rohrbaugh.
Other seeds were: 106-pounder Tanner Justice, a sophomore, was seeded sec-ond; 113-pounder Evan Hul-ing, a freshman, was seeded fourth; 126-pounder Calvin Giles, a sophomore, was seed-ed fourth; and 132-pounder
Joe Fox, a freshman, was seeded third.
“Hopefully, we’ll get some guys through to state. We fi n-ished second in the district and third in the region, which is not quite what we wanted, but not bad either.”
The Halls middle school-aged team, coached by Cody Humphrey, swept the Middle School Conference Duals, beating William Blount in the fi nals.
“I feel like the founda-tion has been set to build a dynasty for Halls wrestling,” Humphrey says. “And what’s scary is our strongest class is our 7th grade class. And we’ll be sending six or seven really good wrestlers to high school next year.”
Humphrey says he works the team harder than other middle school athletes may have to work.
“I’d like to thank them for it and I think their work has paid off. They have discipline. They work hard.”
Humphrey would like to reach out to the community to help attract more players, especially what he calls “the bigger guys,” to the middle school wrestling program. Those who are interested can email him at [email protected]/.

By Sherry WittFor those hoping to see a robust rebound in real es-
tate activity, the fi rst month of 2012 offered little to cheer about. The month ending on Jan. 31 produced 479 property transfers in Knox County. That number lagged well behind the 603 parcels that changed hands during December and also represented fewer transactions than last January.
The total value of property sold for the month was about $88.4 million,
also off from last January’s pace when almost $98 million worth of land was transferred. These fi gures were well under December’s total value of $249 mil-lion. Land transfers do historically experience a slow-down during the midwinter months.
As for the lending markets, January’s activity was very comparable to that recorded a year ago. Last month saw about $241 million loaned against prop-erty in Knox County, compared to about $254 million in January 2011.
The largest transfer was for the parcel that will serve as home to the new Costco Wholesale store near the intersection of Kingston Pike and Lovell Road. The property sold for $5.5 million. A sale of property involving Parkwest Hospital came in sec-ond at $3.54 million.
On the lending side, the largest mortgage transac-tions involved $12.4 million in fi nancing for a residen-tial development known as The Landings at Knoxville, followed by a trust deed of $9.7 million for Knoxville Properties Partnership on property in the Clinch Av-enue and Gay Street area of downtown.

My first “real” sales job, if you don’t count an ill-fat-ed stint as a telemarketer, was as a waiter in a series of restaurants, both here in Knoxville and in Savan-nah, Ga. People who don’t think waiting tables counts as sales have never won St. Patrick’s Day off in a wine-selling contest. Just say-ing.
It was at an Italian res-taurant in Savannah where I netted my first regular customers: a family with two young children. I ap-proached the table and no-ticed that the daughter was reading the fifth book in the Harry Potter series, a book I’d just finished read-ing.
After greeting the table, I asked her about the book, her favorite characters and where she thought the plot was going. Turns out, the parents and little boy

were big fans, too. They kept coming back, and ask-ing for me. Each time they wanted to talk about the newest plot developments, the movies and all things Harry Potter.
But, they didn’t come back to my tables just to talk Potter. They came back because I connected with them on a personal level. Anyone can give a customer a good experi-ence, but memorable good experiences are harder to achieve.

Heart services
A number of car-diac screening tests are offered at the center, including Cardiac CT for Cal-cium Scoring, com-monly called “heart scoring.”
This is a non-invasive test using special X-ray equip-ment that measures calcified plaque
build-up in the arteries that sup-ply blood to the heart. Plaque results when fat and other sub-stances build up and harden in-side the blood vessels, increasing the risk of a heart attack. The amount of calcium detected on a cardiac CT scan is called a calcium “score.”
The heart score test is something you can make an ap-pointment for without a doctor’s

NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER
Heart test reveals dangerous blockageDru Ellis of Lenoir City firmly
believes a simple medical test saved her life.
Cardiac calcium scoring, a special computed tomography (CT) scan of the heart, is often not prescribed to patients be-cause insurance doesn’t typically cover it. The test is used to check for build-up of calcium in the arteries of the heart, which is a sign of a blockage in a blood ves-sel supplying oxygen to the heart muscle.
In 2010, Ellis knew something wasn’t quite right with her body. Then 58 years old, she had a bat-tery of heart tests that showed nothing out of the ordinary.
“My numbers were always good, my blood pressure was low, my cholesterol was low, I’m not overweight, I don’t smoke and I don’t drink,” says Ellis. In fact, her only risk factor for heart dis-ease was that her mother had re-quired emergency bypass surgery in her 60s.
But despite the negative re-sults of those tests, Ellis still felt like something was wrong. She had repeated migraine head-aches that affected her vision. “And I always felt tired and like my heart was skipping a beat. I would press on my wrist and feel my pulse skip.”
Dru Ellis is happy to be around to hug her grandchildren Eli and Taylor. She credits a heart calcium scoring test at Fort Sanders West Diagnostic Center with discovering a potentially deadly cardiac blockage.
isn’t covered by insurance, it cost only $125 at the Center.
The 30-minute test is non-in-vasive and painless, and results in a detailed picture of the heart. The center is known for its quick, convenient scheduling and fast results.
“I got a phone call the next day,” she says. Ellis had scored a “90” on the test showing a small blockage in the left anterior de-scending (LAD) coronary artery, the main blood vessel that sup-plies blood to the heart.
“They said you need to go see your cardiologist as soon as you can,” she remembers.
A blockage in the LAD artery is often called a “widow-maker” heart attack because of its high death rate. NBC News reporter Tim Russert, for example, died suddenly of a blockage in the LAD artery.
“From what I understand, I was definitely at risk of having a deadly heart attack,” explains Ellis.
The next day, Ellis began hav-ing chest spasms and another mi-graine headache. Her husband, Lee, took her to the emergency room at a local hospital. Physi-cians decided to do an emergency heart catheterization and install a stent.
A stent is a tiny mesh balloon-like device, inserted through anartery and threaded up to theheart. Once in place it expandsand props open an artery to pre-vent a blockage.
The physician who did theprocedure showed a video of it toEllis’ son and husband afterward.“My son said he would neverforget that picture as long as helives. As the stent went in, all thelittle arteries below it came backto life.”
Today, Ellis is back at work.She keeps a brochure about car-diac calcium scoring on her deskand frequently tells people aboutthe simple test at Fort Sand-ers West Diagnostic Center thatmeant so much to her.
“It saved my life, and I don’twant other women to go throughwhat I went through to get diag-nosed with heart disease. Heartscoring is really a good indicatorof where you are, especially forwomen whose symptoms may notbe as obvious as that of a man,”she says.
“I’m so very grateful I had theheart score test and hope otherswill as well!”
For information about the heart score screening available at Fort Sanders West Diagnostic Center,
call 865-531-5400.
Not giving up on the mystery, Ellis switched to a cardiologist who recommended that Ellis have
a cardiac calcium scoring test performed at Fort Sanders West Diagnostic Center. While the test

Accredited by the American Col-lege of Radiology and led by board certifi ed radiolo-gists, the center of-fers a full range of tests. It is a full-service, one-stop diagnostic imaging center.

Variety of top notch medical tests available at Fort Sanders West Diagnostic Center
is accredited by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration for its digi-tal mammography services, ultra-sound and breast MRI. The Cen-ter offers extensive imaging of the breast, plus ultrasound-guided breast core biopsy services.
A routine screening mammo-gram appointment can be made without a doctor’s referral. “Just call and make an appointment,” explains Shnider.“We have same-day reporting to our mammogra-phy patients.”
The National Cancer Insti-tute says that mammography screening (an X-ray picture of the breast) every one to two years in women ages 40 to 74 can help re-
referral, and most insurances don’t cover it.
“It costs $125, which makes it affordable, and is a good indica-tor of heart disease,” explains Shnider. The center also offers EKG and Holter monitoring, which do require a doctor’s or-der and are typically covered by insurance.
Your resultsThe Fort Sanders West Diag-
nostic Center relies on the latest technology to interpret and share your test results with your doctor. It uses a picture archiving and communication system (PACS), a medical imaging technology that captures, stores and distributes all radiology pictures electroni-cally.
“So if you get an X-ray, right away your doctors can see it,” ex-plains Shnider. The Center also has an auto-fax, which electroni-cally sends the report to physi-cians as soon as a radiologist reads it.
“So they get the reports much faster,” says Shnider. “Our refer-ring doctors always say our cen-ter is easy to schedule with and quick to get them the reports they need.”

B-2 • FEBRUARY 13, 2012 • HALLS/FOUNTAIN CITY SHOPPER-NEWS
By Sara BarrettLast week while at Petco
in Farragut, I met the cutest little hamster that had been given up by his previous fam-ily. He has been living in the back room of Petco (in his cage, of course) since this past July.
Austin Brumitte, animal companion department manager, said it’s likely that one of the reasons the little guy hasn’t been adopted yet is because “most people don’t like (his) red eyes.”
When I saw LeRoy (what many of the staff call him), he was eating some cabbage he had been given as a treat. He is pretty much a low-maintenance animal with the usual daily feedings and a weekly change of the bed-ding in his cage.
Brumitte said hamsters usually live about three years and LeRoy is believed to have already lived half of that. So if you’re interested in a semi long-term relation-ship with someone who’s not too needy, LeRoy may be the perfect pet for you.
This coming weekend (Saturday and Sunday, Feb.
