She listens to her in- ner voice when she is preparing to produce a play, no matter when or where it sounds off. Last year, Black was starting the casting process for “The Curi- ous Savage” – a dark, ‘50s comedy about a bunch of patients in a Mas- sachusetts sanitorium who want to help out a new arrival, a widow whose greedy relatives are trying to get hold of the fortune left to her by her recently-departed husband. It was to be the playhouse’s first pro- duction. Black was thinking about the task ahead when she stopped by Vaughn’s Pharmacy and ran into Carolyn Wells, who works there two days a week. The inner voice spoke, clear as a bell. “I discovered her in Vaughn’s drugstore, and I said, ‘You are Mrs. Paddy,’ She’s outgoing, friendly, re- sponsive to people, always laughing and loves to have fun.” Mrs. Paddy isn’t the main char- acter, but she has an interesting quirk: “Her husband told her to shut up 20 years ago, and she hadn’t spoken since,” Black said. “But there was something about the word ‘hate’ that she tuned in on.” Wells takes the cue like a pro and snaps into character: “I hate onions, bunions, banks, bigots, winters, splinters, haste, waste, rust, dust, glue, grease, grime, mud and blood.” She was a smash hit and is set to reprise the role in the next Pow- ell Playhouse production, “The Time capsule opening May 16 Friends of Powell Elemen- tary School will open a time capsule buried 25 years ago this week. After opening the capsule and examining the contents, the staff and students will bury another capsule to be opened in 25 years. A public reception will be held from 4-6 p.m. on Wednes- day, May 16, at the school for anyone who wants to come by and view the contents.

But things got pretty dicey for Wells over the past year. “We have five original cast mem- bers returning in their roles, and Mrs. Paddy is one of them,” Black said. “Fairly soon after the play ended last year, Carolyn went to the doctor and discovered that she had ovarian cancer. It was quite ad- vanced. When I visited her in the hospital, I was shocked. We had printed this little card that said we were going to be doing a sequel, and I told her, ‘You have got to be around to be Mrs. Paddy. If you can’t do this last play, we’re going to scrap it.’ ” Wells, a 1960 Powell High School graduate (her last name was Ben- nett before she married her high school sweetheart, David Wells), had taken the part-time job after retiring from Oak Ridge National Laboratory. She said she wants to work, “to try to keep my brain cells from dying.” (Black puts it differently – “In re- tirement, your butt gets bigger and your brain gets smaller.”) Wells has had a hard year – two surgeries, five hospitalizations, che- motherapy, a bout of kidney failure – but her last CT scan is clean of growths or tumors, and she is ready for her close-up, even though she had to postpone her final surgery so she could make opening night. “I’m scheduled for surgery June 12, and I’m praying that I can have a reversal of the colostomy,” Wells said. “Hopefully this surgery will end this part of my life’s journey. I want everybody’s prayers.” “All through this we kept saying, ‘You’re in this last play,’ ” Black said. Her doctor wanted to schedule her surgery for May 3, but Wells re- sisted. “I said, ‘I’ve got to be in a play, go to Washington, D.C., and be in a wedding.’ ” She was sustained during this hard year by the loving care of her husband, David, and by a group of Class of 1960 classmates with whom she’s been getting together for dinners and special occasions for the past 25 years. “It started out being social, but over the years, it’s turned out to be a support group. Death of spouses, divorce, births of grandchildren – it’s been such a wonderful support group. When they found out last July, Pat Stans- berry took charge and they all wanted to do something. Those who are retired said, ‘I will sit with her all day after chemo so her husband can go to work.’ Others prepared dinners. They saw me through six treatments, and I had a three or four course meal every night at 6. They were there for eight solid months.” On her 70th birthday, Wells threw herself a “surprise” birthday party at the Lions Club and invited her caregivers to a brunch catered by Kelly Payne and Susan Prince. There were linen tablecloths, fresh flowers and all the fancy breakfast trimmings. “I welcomed everyone to my birthday party and said, ‘I’ve de- ceived you. This is not to celebrate my birthday. This to celebrate each and every one of you for what you did to make this part of my journey better. You visited me, transported me, cooked for me and cared for me. You’ve seen me with my bald head, held my head when I was sick and waited on me as if I were a queen.’ “Now, you tell me that God’s not good.” Powell Elementary School principal Reba Lane walks with Superin- tendent Dr. Jim McIntyre, County Commissioner R.

‘The Savage

Dilemma’ coming to

Powell Playhouse By Betty Bean

Nita Buell Black, who taught high school English and theater for 52 years (35 at Powell High School) is the founding director of Powell Playhouse. She listens to her in-ner voice when she is preparing to produce a play, no matter when or where it sounds off.

Last year, Black was starting the casting process for “The Curi-ous Savage” – a dark, ‘50s comedy about a bunch of patients in a Mas-sachusetts sanitorium who want to help out a new arrival, a widow whose greedy relatives are trying to get hold of the fortune left to her by her recently-departed husband. It was to be the playhouse’s fi rst pro-duction.

Black was thinking about the task ahead when she stopped by Vaughn’s Pharmacy and ran into Carolyn Wells, who works there two days a week.

The inner voice spoke, clear as a bell.

“I discovered her in Vaughn’s drugstore, and I said, ‘You are Mrs. Paddy,’ She’s outgoing, friendly, re-sponsive to people, always laughing and loves to have fun.”

Mrs. Paddy isn’t the main char-acter, but she has an interesting quirk:

“Her husband told her to shut up 20 years ago, and she hadn’t spoken since,” Black said. “But there was something about the word ‘hate’ that she tuned in on.”

Wells takes the cue like a pro and snaps into character:

“I hate onions, bunions, banks, bigots, winters, splinters, haste, waste, rust, dust, glue, grease, grime, mud and blood.”

She was a smash hit and is set to reprise the role in the next Pow-ell Playhouse production, “The

Savage Dilemma,” a sequel to last year’s play, which debuts June 7. But things got pretty dicey for Wells over the past year.

“We have fi ve original cast mem-bers returning in their roles, and Mrs. Paddy is one of them,” Black said. “Fairly soon after the play ended last year, Carolyn went to the doctor and discovered that she had ovarian cancer. It was quite ad-vanced. When I visited her in the hospital, I was shocked. We had printed this little card that said we were going to be doing a sequel, and I told her, ‘You have got to be around to be Mrs. Paddy. If you can’t do this last play, we’re going to scrap it.’ ”

(Black puts it differently – “In re-tirement, your butt gets bigger and your brain gets smaller.”)

Wells has had a hard year – two surgeries, fi ve hospitalizations, che-

motherapy, a bout of kidney failure – but her last CT scan is clean of growths or tumors, and she is ready for her close-up, even though she had to postpone her fi nal surgery so she could make opening night.

Powell Elementary School will get $1.25 million for building up-grades if County Commission funds the school board’s budget, but Commissioner R. Larry Smith wants more specifi cs.

Smith toured the campus with school board member Kim Sepesi and Superintendent Dr. Jim Mc-Intyre last Monday.

McIntyre said details will be worked out by facilities supervisor Doug Dillingham and principal Reba Lane, but the improvements will not eliminate the portable classrooms at Powell Elementary.

Lane said the school is land-locked, but the school system recently acquired an adjoining lot for more parking. She said all second graders are housed in por-

Looking for the per-fect gift for a high school grad?

Walters State Com-munity College associate professor of history Tim Holder has just the book for a soon-to-be fi rst-year college frosh.

From the “Ask the Pro-fessor” books, a series Holder co-authors with Jason Edwards, comes a new release, “What Freshmen Need to Know 2.0.”

For $15, it is a com-bination of the fi rst two books in the series, offer-

ing what Holder describes as “practical advice for a college freshman, with a little humor, from the point of view of a college professor.”

I’ve told you about Tim before. He’s a great guy. Wrote an earlier book on Watergate. Tim and his wife are members at Wallace Memorial Baptist Church, where he sometimes is a guest preacher.

Tim has also taken ev-ery scribe’s big step: he’s written a novel.

Called “Double Crossed,” Tim says it is an action/science fi ction story with a sense of hu-mor. It is set on another planet and sounds like a lot of fun.

You can fi nd the books at www.Amazon.com or order them directly from Tim at www.tdhcommu-nications.com.

POWELL HOWL

After touring Powell El-ementary School with R. Larry Smith and Kim Sepesi last week, one thing jumped out. The $1.25 million in the school board’s budget is a start but not enough to fi x the problems at the school.

Interest picks up in North Sector PlanCounty Commissioner R. Larry Smith listens to Powell resident

Joe Elkins during an MPC-sponsored forum on the North Sec-

tor Plan now under development. Planner Mike Reynolds said

comments included support for mixed use development, now

at the old Powell Airport, to be extended westward where me-

dium density residential zoning is proposed. Mixed use would

allow offi ce and commercial development.

Powell Elementary needs more

I was at the school board meeting a decade ago when then board member Diane Dozier suggested that Pow-ell Elementary be moved to the Powell Middle School building and Knox County Schools buy the old Levi’s plant for a new middle school.

Dozier was squelched by then Mayor Mike Rags-dale who said the county really needed to put a jobs-producing business back in the Levi’s building. Maybe, but Temple Baptist jumped on the real estate, convert-ing the building to Crown College, a real asset to Pow-ell but certainly off the tax rolls.

The county then spent money to renovate and ex-pand Powell Middle School, and Dozier moved on to sup-porting a brand new build-ing for Brickey-McCloud.

Somehow in the shuffl e, Powell Elementary was left behind.

The school’s gym and cafeteria are inadequate for the almost 1,000 students enrolled there. The zone has been shrunk to west of Cen-tral Avenue Pike. And added capacity at Adrian Burnett in Halls and Shannondale in Fountain City just won’t relieve overcrowding.

That said, parents and friends of Powell Elemen-tary School should support the school board budget. The opportunity for new technology and physical plant upgrades comes along every 20 years or so. Let’s grab what we can get now and then continue to lobby for what the kids here really need.

■ Powell Book ClubThe group meets at 3

p.m. each fi rst Monday at the Powell Branch Library to discuss a book, usually working with a study guide. “That’s better than trying to do it without one,” said Viola Schneider, “when we ask, ‘Well, how did you like this book?’”

So the group is open to anyone interested in join-ing. The name of each month’s book is posted at the Powell library, and actu-ally reading the book is not

required. Betty McNeilly, a retired educator, confessed that she came without read-ing: “That did not prevent me from expressing opin-ions, however.”

Martha Moore, a 41-year Powell resident, keeps ev-erything (somewhat) or-ganized. At least, she’s got the name of everyone who has ever attended. She says Joan Falcon founded the book club in May 2007. “She’s off somewhere in an RV,” said Moore.

Readers come from far (Clinton) and near. Retired teacher Virginia Rains, El-len James, Katherine Smith and Joan Davis are regu-lars.

“We need some men!” said one of the women as the others laughed.

Books range from thought-provoking to just-for-fun. The book for June is “The Thirteenth Tale” by Diane Setterfi eld. So read it (or not) and come to the book club. It’s fun.

■ Lunch with Charlie D.The Baker Center at UT

There is an old Vulcan proverb that says “Only Nixon could go to China.”

Well, what was true on “Star Trek” is true in Knox Vegas.

County Mayor Tim Burchett made public what most of us knew. If County Commission approves a property tax increase to fund Superintendent Dr. Jim McIntyre’s budget, he’ll veto it.

Burchett is missing his moment.

Look, none of us likes new taxes. Heck, I still have my “Cas Walker for President” T-shirt hanging in the closet.

But the Vulcans were right. Only Richard Nixon, the Cold Warrior, could shake hands with Chou and Mao in ’72 and get away with it. Heck, it sealed the deal on his re-election. And only Burchett, who has earned his belt-tightening reputa-tion honestly, could get away with raising property taxes.

I’m reading Robert A. Caro’s four-volume opus on a man I’ve never particularly liked, Lyndon Baines Johnson. Told early on not to push for what be-came the Civil Rights Act of 1964 because he’d waste the political capital earned after JFK’s assassination, Johnson said, “Well, what the hell’s the presidency for?”

Times are tough. Belts should be buckled; bloat should be belched. The problem is Burchett is go-ing about it the wrong way.

A friend of mine, who is as Republican as Ronald Reagan, said, “Burchett’s going to keep cutting on parks and schools until there aren’t any left.”

Lord knows Burchett’s predecessor, Mike Rags-dale, had his problems. But, I’ll tell you this: in some ways he’s looking better in the rearview.

A couple of weeks ago, Emily Shane and I sang at the Halls Senior Center, built during the Ragsdale era. Seventy-seven smiling

You get what you pay for

faces showed up. (And, nope, I didn’t pay ’em.) Next door, I heard a group of seniors exercising. John “Dee” Myers told me three or four years ago he goes up there every Wednesday night for supper. And he was crying tears of joy when he said it.

Ragsdale didn’t and Burchett hasn’t learned another lesson from Nix-on. The Quaker balanced his administration with, for example, speechwrit-ers Pat Buchanan (on the right) and William Safire (on the left), intelligent men both. Daniel Patrick Moynihan (liberal) and John Connally (conserva-tive) both served in his cabinet.

Unfortunately, Nixon also had Haldeman, Ehrlichman, Mitchell and Dean. Ragsdale had Arms, Finch and Werner. Burchett has Dean Rice, Big Sexy and the scandal-plagued fraternity brother that lasted five minutes.

There’s so much I like about Tim Burchett. His laid-back attitude, his fist-bumpin’, “aw, shucks” persona and, yes, his de-sire to pay down the debt. And yet. And yet.

Last week, France rejected belt-tightening President Nicolas Sar-kozy for the “I’m raising taxes on those that make over a million” Francois Hollande. Well, this ain’t France and most of us probably think that’s a good thing. France may come to regret that choice. I don’t know.

But I can’t help but remember something my step-daddy told me when I was a teenage audiophile trying to decide between a Sony stereo system and a knockoff brand.

“Son,” he said, “you get what you pay for.”

Neither Knox city nor county mayor is recom-mending a tax hike in their 2012-2013 budget, but the issues are different for each.

Mayor Burchett has vowed a veto should county commission enact the re-quested 35 cent property tax hike sought by the school board. He has not been as outspoken as to whether he would oppose a referendum to increase the sales tax for schools. On the other hand, if the requested property tax hike were scaled back to a lesser amount such as 15 or 20 cents, he has not indicated his stand, but one might safely infer that his opposition would continue, making 7 votes needed to enact the tax regardless of the amount instead of the normal 6 votes.

One vote to pass it and one to override a mayoral veto a week or two later.

If the commission should go the sales tax ref-erendum route, Burchett might not veto it since it al-lows the people to decide, but the question remains whether he would be neu-tral in the campaign to pass it or would he urge voters to reject it. Additional fac-tors for school advocates to consider are whether they are willing to scale back the 35 cent request to a lesser amount or go for a refer-endum on sales tax which

would not produce as much as 35 cents.

It also runs the risk of defeat. It would appear on the November ballot when the presidential election is being held along with pos-sible city and county charter amendments. Voter turnout will be very high and Knox county is likely to vote for Romney over Obama by a 60-40 margin. Burchett did recommend an increase for schools, but far less than what the superintendent and school board want.

People should realize that Tim Burchett is a very frugal person in both his personal and public live. There is no smoke and mir-rors when it comes to Bur-chett. He and Mayor Rog-ero, who are quite different in many ways, are also very congenial and cooperative. Rogero will support Obama for a second term and Bur-chett will back Romney, but that will not interfere with them working together.

For Rogero there is no call for a tax hike. In fact, under the city charter she does not have a veto anyway, even

if the council pushed one. There is no danger council would ever raise taxes with-out a mayoral request.

Whatever city coun-cil does is what happens. However, one wonders if she plans to go four years as mayor without a city tax hike. If so, well and good, but it will get dicey by her fourth year when she seeks a second term and is chal-lenged by an opponent on whether she would raise taxes in a second term.

Odd numbered years for the city are when the mayor or part of council seek elec-tion. If Rogero goes four years without a property tax hike on top of the past seven years without a tax hike, there is a strong possi-bility there would be one in 2016 when she starts a sec-ond term or there is a new mayor as it means 11 years without any city property tax increase.

Current council mem-bers will be less enthused over a city tax hike next year when 5 of the 9 members are up for re-election (none term limited). In 2015, of course, the Mayor plus 4 council members are up for re-election which is not a good time to seek a tax hike.

Working in favor of a city tax hike over the next 5 years will be city pen-sion costs (still not as bad as county pension costs)

unless council adopts and the voters approve major changes for new employees to halt the fi nancial drain on the budget. The pend-ing mayoral hybrid pension plan takes a chance on mar-ket conditions whereas the 401(k) plan advocated by some council members is fi xed in its cost. It would go on the November 2012 bal-lot when the Obama/Rom-ney contest assures a large voter turnout.

■ Federal Judge Thomas Varlan has set a hearing on this Thursday, May 17, at 9:30 a.m. at the Howard Baker Federal Building in downtown Knoxville on the Wellington Drive lawsuit.

Budgets have similarities, diff erences

Accepting ‘The Fugate Challenge’By Sandra Clark

Last week at the Fountain City Business and Professional Associa-tion, Indya Kincannon, Virginia Babb and Buzz Thomas advocated for fund-ing the school board’s budget. And once again, County Commissioner R. Larry Smith asked folks to “let me know what you think.”

And, in the midst of this, associa-tion board member John Fugate said if Knox County Schools could enroll the kids who now attend private schools and are homeschooled, the

test scores would increase in a fl ash.As one who supports the school

board’s budget, I invited Fugate to go with me to the school of his choice to see the needs. John accepted.

So Kincannon has arranged for us to visit a couple of schools this week.

John is Everyman on this issue. He’s smart. He owns property and would be hit with a property tax increase. He has grandchildren who attend Knox County Schools. And he’s a former educator who left the profes-sion to enter banking and is now a

branch bank manager.

The Fugate Challenge is risky, because John may come away still convinced that the tax increase is not needed. But I’m willing to fi nd out, and whatever the verdict, I’ll share it here next week.

Tennessee sports fans come in all sizes, shapes and colors. They also vary in enthusiasm.

Some are seasonal at best, never more than lukewarm. They check to see who won.

At the other end of the spectrum are those who wor-ship the Volunteers with Ten-nessee tattoos and orange overalls, even on Thursdays. Just win, baby, no rules, whatever it takes.

This passionate peak of fandom wouldn’t miss a game for their fi rst cousin’s funeral. They will lose sleep over Ak-ron and Georgia State. Some are radicals. They buy tickets

Fantastic fans

for stadium seats but won’t sit down.

In between are the many, many thousands who faith-fully follow the Vols, root for their success in all sports and stay steady through the decades. Uncle Lee Roy Jarvis has seen 289 con-secutive home games and

hasn’t fi red a single coach.Of course these fans jump

up and yell. They applaud ef-fort and excellence wherever they see it, including aca-demics. Some are linked to history as third- or fourth-generation fans. Some have heard of Chuck Rohe and Ray Bussard. Some are aware there were baskets be-fore Bruce.

Some remember Bill Bates from Farragut High and Jim-my England from Holston and Ron Widby from Ful-ton or even A.W. Davis from Rutledge. They know what Todd Helton did before Den-ver. They have heard about Richmond Flowers’ courage in choosing Tennessee over Alabama. They know why Chip Kell is in the Hall of

Fame. They remember what Al Wilson did as a linebacker and leader.

Some with tunnel vision measure fans by their level of donations, by skyboxes and buildings that bear their names. What you do with what you have might be more credible.

It is possible to be a su-percharged fan, have loads of fun and retain at least a de-gree of dignity. Case in point: Linda Penny.

The entry to her Nashville home is orange and white. Her living room and din-ing room have orange walls. Her orange clothes are in the orange closet. Some of her orange shoes hide there. The den is the offi cial Ten-

nessee room. Her lawyer husband Bill just smiles.

Linda learned about football from her father in Paducah, Ky. They went to high school games. Consider-ably later, a dear friend with 50-yard-line tickets invited her to an autumn Saturday at Vanderbilt.

“Pretty soon I was yelling and doing my own coach-ing when two very properly dressed women asked that I not make so much noise.”

Linda was not blocking their view, just cheering in good fan fashion.

“I got ticked and educat-ed them about football. Did they know the work those guys put in every day, did they know the hours, did

they understand what the heck was going on?

“My friend laughed and said my husband should take me to UT.”

Bingo. As the old saying goes, the rest is history.

Bill got his law degree. He and Linda have been seeing the Vols since the mid ’80s. They have season tickets for football and basketball. For years, they have raised funds for the athletic department. They are part of a tailgate group that sometimes grows to a hundred.

They really enjoy the Vols. They are dedicated fans. There is a hint of proof, a touch of orange at their house.Marvin West invites reader reaction. His address is [email protected].

By Betty Bean Kevin Murphy spent his

childhood in Winter Haven, Fla., but no summer was complete without a visit to the Murphy Farm in Knox-ville, which was settled by his ancestors in 1797.

Then he grew up and be-came an IT architect who created technology roadmaps and designs for putting big systems together. It’s a high-ly portable skill that pretty much allows him to live where he chooses. In 2005, he was living in Dayton, Ohio, and got to thinking about where he wanted to put down roots.

Australia sounded good, and he went down to check it out. While he was there, he had an epiphany:

“I could live anywhere in the world, working from home, and decided Knoxville felt more like home than Aus-tralia did.”

So he started making

plans to renovate and move into the two-story farmhouse that a carpenter named Ed-ward Legg built for Hugh Murphy around 1841 at what is now the corner of Murphy Road and Washington Pike.

He learned all he could about the house’s history – for example, the Norfolk & Southern railroad track that bisects the side yard was laid in 1877. The easement agree-ment called for the railroad to plant some apple trees to mitigate the noise.

“They never planted them,” Kevin said. “I’m sure the ancestors were not pleased. They didn’t get paid for this stuff.”

He had the house gutted to the bare walls and restored, paying meticulous attention to detail and preservation. The actual work took from May to December 2009.

Recently, he invited the neighbors over for a Sunday

afternoon visit. A couple or three dozen of them made the acquaintance of Murphy’s Jack Russell/Bassett Hound Koda as they toured the big house and the seven historic outbuildings before sitting down for lemonade and con-versation on the wraparound front porch.

The entire Murphy Farm consists of 192 acres, and the 50 acres where the house stands are Kevin’s. He plans to place a conservation ease-ment on his portion of the land in 2013. His intention is to keep that parcel farmland forever. He says he hopes that other family members decide to do the same, in time.

“I’m really blessed that my

ancestors and family kept the place together and have con-tinued taking care of it,” he said.

The entire family has agreed to list the entire Mur-phy Farm on the National Register of Historical Places, and Kevin is working on the nomination and hopes to submit it in June.

“This will document the signifi cance of the farm in the community and infl uence future federal projects in the area,” he said.

He is concerned about how the city’s plans to widen Washington Pike from the I-640 interchange to Murphy Road will impact Murphy Farm, and he has written the

city’s director of engineering, Jim Hagerman, to remind city offi cials of the special re-quirements, ask for informa-tion and request that the ru-ral nature of the easternmost portion of the road project be respected.

“I would like to make

sure that the planners are aware of my farm’s histori-cal nature, that an impact analysis is performed as required by Section 106 since federal funds are be-ing used, and that the im-pact of the project on the farm is mitigated.”

HISTORY AND MYSTERIES | Dr. Jim Tumblin

The John Smith family provided the land for the fi rst grade school in Fountain City, the predecessor to Smithwood Grammar School. They also provided land for their home church, Smithwood (formerly Adair’s Creek) Baptist, which has long been a bulwark in the commu-nity. The community in which they lived long and productive lives as-sumed their name, Smithwood.

Mary Adair, daughter of Foun-tain City’s patriarch John Adair and his wife, Eleanor, married Robert Christian, son of promi-nent Sullivan County resident and founder of Kingsport Col. Gilbert Christian. On Aug. 2, 1819, their daughter Mariah (1802-1883) mar-ried John Smith.

Smith, a harness maker by trade, was born on Feb. 2, 1795, in Culpep-per County, Va. He was living in the Beaver Dam settlement but pur-chased 474 acres for $1,000 from Mariah’s grandfather Adair’s plat on Dec. 2, 1820. He farmed the land for many years and John and Mari-ah raised their nine children there.

He built his imposing hand-made brick house on the Tazewell and Jacksboro Turnpike in 1839 in the Flemish Bond pattern. Simple but elegant woodwork highlighted the fi replaces in the parlor, the liv-ing room, the four bedrooms and the kitchen. The elegant doors in each room were Christian doors (the paneling formed a cross and an open Bible).

The parlor was used exclusively for “courting, receiving the min-ister and for funerals.” One of the bedrooms, the Blue Room, was especially furnished to accommo-date their frequent guests who were traveling the busy turnpike. Preser-vationist Harvey Broome, a descen-dant, would later observe, “When company came, the folks living

near would just bring in some meat from the smokehouse and put down some extra mattresses on the fl oor. They had wonderful times then.”

John Smith and his son, James Harvey Smith, appear to have been the last of John Adair’s de-scendants to have seen the last vestige of Fort Adair.

A respected Knox County his-torian, Katherine Keogh “Kate” White reported on her interview with James Harvey Smith in an article titled, “Where Trolleys And Autos Now Run John Adair Built His Stockade While Indians Peered Down From Black Oak” (Knoxville Sentinel, July 22, 1923). The article provides the best evidence we have of the fort’s location:

“What was then far out beyond the extreme frontier of this city in 1788 and where now is a part of busy North Knoxville out on the Fountain City road in beau-tiful Lynnhurst cemetery, in the extreme north, between the deep cut driveway and a large lonely oak tree, sleeps John Adair. This place was always known as Adair Burying Hill, and the Hill grave-yard on Adair Creek.

“Recently Lynnhurst was being put in order, some bones of early settlers were found, and reinterred in Lynnhurst and Greenwood cem-eteries. It was thought that John Adair and wife were among these, but a great-grandson of John Adair, John H. Smith (this was probably James Harvey Smith), who lives on the Adair estate in the large brick house between the Fountain City railway tracks and Broadway pike, remembered where his great-grandfather was buried and the rocks that used to mark his grave. He helped his father to pull down the old Fort and house of John Adair (emphasis added).

John Smith (1795-1883). The Smithwood community, Smith-wood Baptist Church and Smith-wood Grammar School were named for their benefactor, an early settler of Fountain City.

“The Brick House was built by the late John Smith, the second, in the year of 1839. The Fort, stockade, and house of 1788 stood on the west side of the asphalt road to Foun-tain City, between it and where Adair Creek runs, just below the graveyard. Mr. Smith said there were two springs one on each side of the stockade, which supplied the settlers (emphasis added), and that always a suffi cient amount of water was brought in during daylight, and some one with a rifl e stood guard while the women and children brought in the supply. He said his

grandmother would put bells on the cows, in the morning after the milk-ing was fi nished, and turn them out on the wide barrens, where they wandered, until late afternoon, when she would mount a horse and go out ‘callin, callin,’ where she heard the tinkling bells until all the cows came home.

“Mr. Smith says there was no for-est, hardly a tree, but shrub, acorn bushes, that the cattle fattened on. Just beyond, up to the foot of Black Oak Ridge, was a wide barren with thick grass and these shrub trees. Perhaps this was why John Adair located his fort in this basin (em-phasis added).Yet he was constantly molested by Indians who would creep up in the night and steal the horses or any thing else they could get away with. There is an old tra-dition that an Indian trail extended along the top of Black Oak Ridge, which lies about two miles to the north of Adair’s Fort. This was a government fort, Adair was ap-pointed Commissary under North Carolina, to furnish provisions for the Cumberland Guards, who were stationed at West Point, now Kings-ton, Tennessee, in the year of 1783.”

Although we do not know the ex-

act location of Fort Adair, we know that John and Mariah Smith made their home and raised their large family near its former location and within the limits of John Adair’s original 640-acre land grant.

Mariah Adair Christian Smith preceded her husband in death on June 21, 1883. Her epitaph reads: “The righteous shall be in everlast-ing remembrance.”

According to the monument on their grave site at Smithwood Bap-tist Church Cemetery, Deacon John Smith died on Dec. 8, 1883, at 88. His obituary was printed in the Sunday Chronicle:

“Died, yesterday evening, at 5 o’clock at his home, four miles north of this city, John Smith, aged about 90 years. Deceased came to his death from fever and general debil-ity, brought on by old age. He had only been sick since Tuesday. This man was well known and liked by all his neighbors. He leaves some grown sons, his wife being dead. The funer-al takes place tomorrow at Adair’s Creek church, at 12 o’clock. Friends of the deceased invited to attend.”

His epitaph reads: “After he had served his generation by the will of God he fell asleep.”

Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me – watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.

(Matthew 11:28-30 The Message)

Many’s the time I’ve been mistakenAnd many times confused.Yes, and I’ve often felt forsakenAnd certainly misused.Oh, but I’m alright, I’m alright.I’m just weary to my bones.Still you don’t expect to beBright and bon vivantSo far away from home.So far away from home.

(“American Tune,” Paul Simon)

Simon and Garfunkel’s songs were the soundtrack of my college years, and I found the words of “American Tune” running through my head the other night.

“I’m just weary to my bones.”

The past three weeks have been full of really hard work, interspersed with some fun projects that also took ener-gy and concentration. There have also been concerns for friends and extended “adopt-ed” family.

I wondered what Jesus meant when he said, “Get away with me and you’ll re-

ty sure Jesus was a true intro-vert: drawing his strengthfrom time spent alone (fre-quently in prayer) and spend-ing that strength when he waswith people.

Maybe that is the “Getaway with me …” part. Maybe(or perhaps, surely) we busymoderns don’t have enoughdown time. So what would itlook like to “get away” withJesus?

I have been on retreatsof various kinds. I went tochurch camp as a kid, a timethat was full of activities andmusic and worship. I have re-treated with grown-up churchfolk who wanted to be to-gether, to pray, study and fel-lowship. And I have been oncontemplative retreats, wheresilence reigned for large por-tions of the time.

All have been meaningfuland formative.

But I remember one black,black night on a camping trip,a night so cold that I couldbarely stand to be outside mysleeping bag. There was no ar-tifi cial light, so the night wasutterly dark. I looked up andwas awestruck by the count-less stars I could see. Then Ilooked down at the dark sur-face of the lake beside the tentand the water was so still thestars were perfectly refl ected.

Stars above me and stars atmy feet.

The old folk song says:I know where I’m goin’, and

I know who’s goin’ with me. Ihave a light to guide me whenthe way is dark and dreary.

As summer looms, the sports year is winding down and the season is already over for a few of Powell High’s teams.

The baseball team has fi nished another year. After beating the Anderson County Mavericks 11-0 in the fi rst round of the district tourna-ment, Powell went on to play Hardin Valley Academy. The Hawks topped the Panthers, pushing Powell into the los-ers’ bracket.

Powell ended the year with a 6-5 loss to Clinton.

Powell struggled offen-sively. “The only runs we scored came off three home runs,” said assistant coach Jay Scarbro. “We just didn’t get key hits … we had run-ners on base.”

Things were better on the

Coming to an end

defensive side of the ball for the Panthers, though.

“All the way through our pitchers pitched well enough to win,” said Scarbro. “We just didn’t execute.”

Despite coming up short in the postseason, Scarbro is still proud of the overall effort put forth by the team this season.

“We had a great group of seniors,” he said. “They gave everything they had. Some-times things just don’t go your way.”

After the loss to Clin-

ton, coach Jeff Inman an-nounced he was stepping down from the head coach-ing position. No replace-ment has been named.

Soccer: The PHS soccer team also fi nished things off for the year.

Coming off a 5-2 win against Union County on May 3 and a 3-0 win over Anderson County on May 5, the Panthers appeared to be peaking going into the dis-trict tournament.

Powell faced the Oak Ridge Wildcats in the fi rst round on May 7. The Panthers were put out by a score of 3-1.

“That was a really, really good game,” said Ellias Pal-cu. “We were neck-and-neck the whole time.”

The game was tied 1-1 at the end of regulation time and ended up going into two overtimes before a winner was determined.

“We were so fatigued,” said Palcu. “My legs just kind

of started locking up.”The Panthers played 100

minutes that night. This year’s seniors had never played on a PHS team with a winning sea-son – until this year.

Track: One part of the Powell High athletic depart-ment still has a few weeks to go, though. The track team began regionals at Science Hill on May 11 and expects to send several individuals to the state championships in Murfreesboro.

Georgetown-signee An-drew Ogle won the mile and half-mile at KIL at Hardin Valley. Ogle broke the PHS school record and the Hardin Valley stadium record in the half-mile. He also anchored Powell’s 4x4 relay, which the Panthers also won.

The Powell boys’ team came in fi fth as a whole at the meet.

“That’s the highest we’ve ever been,” said Ogle. “We’re doing really well.”

Almost 40 years for David’s CarpetDavid Hayes opened Da-

vid’s Carpet out of his base-ment Jan. 23, 1973, as a part-time business. At the time, he was working as a Mayfi eld milkman, and the carpet business was a way to bring some extra money to his growing family.

Now, almost 40 years later, he owns two full-service f looring stores, one in Farragut and one in Pigeon Forge. In 1997 he joined the Abbey Carpet franchise and became Da-vid’s Abbey Carpet. Hayes says the Farragut store has the largest selection of area rugs locally, along with a full gamut of car-pet, tile, stone and wood f looring.

What’s kept him at it this long?

“I just enjoy doing it,” he said. “I get up every day and still enjoy my job after 40 years.”

By Sherry WittAfter a healthy per-

formance in March, the local real e s t a t e m a r k e t s u r g e d a h e a d still fur-ther in A p r i l . For the m o n t h e n d i n g

on Monday, April 30, there were 746 property transfers in Knox Coun-ty – some 65 more than in March, and even fur-ther ahead of last April’s pace when 622 parcels changed hands.

April also blew past March in terms of the total value of proper-ties sold. The aggregate value of all the parcels transferred in April was $137.2 million, com-pared to $110.7 million the previous month. A year ago in April, about $122 million worth of land was sold in Knox County.

Mortgage lending dropped off slightly during the month as about $287 million

was borrowed against real property. That was around $25 million short of the March total, but well ahead of last April’s amount of $178 million.

The largest property transfer of the month was for a commercial parcel on Old Callahan Road. The land was sold by Tennessee State Bank for $3.6 million. Anoth-er notable transfer was for property on Emory Road in Powell pur-chased by Hardee’s Food Systems for $1,365,000.

The two largest lend-ing transactions of the month included a loan of $15.15 million by Parkside Hotel Part-ners, and a loan of $10 million on Hardin Val-ley Apartments II.

Also, 2012 is outper-forming 2011 in both recordings and fee col-lections. The number of documents recorded during April experi-enced its biggest jump in many months. There were more than 1,000 documents filed in April 2012 than in April 2011.

Critter Tales

After you’re goneLocal attorney and pub-

lic speaker Anne McKinney talked to a group of folks re-cently about their pets and estate planning. Although the subject is not a concern for everyone, considering the care of your pet in the event of your death should be a priority for those of us fortunate enough to have them as part of our families.

Hosted by Visionary Hori-zons Wealth Management, the group met at Panera Bread in Bearden to discuss the “what ifs” of pet ownership.

McKinney answered several questions from the group, including how to choose a caretaker for your pet and what type of infor-mation to leave behind to ensure your furry friends are cared for just as you

Finding peace for your pet

‘Cowboy for a Cure’Johnny Warnshuis, a.k.a. “The Cowboy for a Cure,” was spotted

on Cedar Bluff Road last Wednesday during his cross-country

trip on horseback to raise awareness of Guillain-Barre syn-

drome, an illness his mother was diagnosed with in 2010. His

goal is to reach Times Square in New York City by June or July.

Hayes and his staff love making homes beautiful. They spend a lot of time and effort to make sure they have the best prod-ucts, prices and selection of anyone in the area. They also put a lot of time into training so they can best help their customers.

But, Hayes says that only goes so far.

“Training is important, but I’ve preached for years that people don’t care how much you know if they know how much you care.”

That’s why Hayes pays attention to the little things. Every once in

awhile, he parks at the front of the building and walks in like a customer would, looks at the show-room with fresh eyes. A room full of choices can be intimidating, but Hayes and the staff strive to make the environment as wel-coming as possible.

Hayes has accumulated a lot of advice for new en-trepreneurs over 40 years in business. Gather a good team, he says. Make sure your spouse is 100 percent on board. Find a mentor and a good bookkeeper. But, a passion for what you’re going to do is first and foremost.

“You’ve got to first have the passion and under-stand how tough it is to get started,” he said. “It is not easier to be in business for yourself. It looks easier, but this is not a perfect world.”

If you want to support local business, David’s Ab-bey Carpet is a great place to start. Hayes says money spent at David’s stays lo-cal. Hayes loves interact-ing with his customers and is always ready to help cus-tomers find f looring they’ll love.

would care for them.When making out your will

with an attorney, McKinney suggested having a detailed list of items for the pet-related part of the will, including any medications your animal(s) may need, what types of food they eat and what “comfort” items they need. Be as specifi c as possible.

McKinney also suggested leaving money for your pets’ caretakers to cover the costs of care. “Hopefully,” she

said, “by the time the money runs out, your pet will have warmed the heart of their caretaker” and your pet will be seen as part of the family. Pet insurance, she added, is also another option for cov-ering the costs of your pets’ care upon your death.

McKinney went on to say you can have your entire estate go toward the care of your pet, with benefi cia-ries receiving the remaining amount upon the death of the animal. A trustee will be giv-en the authority to check on the animal and make sure its living conditions and quality of life meet the standards you put into place with your will.

No one likes to think about what will happen to our pets after we die, but by being proactive, we can al-low them to have the same

quality of life as when we were on earth to pamper them.
