On June 6, 2013, Wiser sent a letter to the county mayor, the law director and every member of county commission announcing his candidacy for sheriff and ac- cusing incumbent Sheriff Jimmy “J.J.” Jones of abusing the depart- ment’s drive-home vehicle policy by keeping four cars, including a $70,000 Jack Roush R3 Mustang, for his personal use. He also ac- cused Jones of allowing employees who live in surrounding counties to drive Knox County vehicles home overnight. “That was D-Day, Honey. And I’m declaring war,” Wiser said. Jones denied Wiser’s accusa- tions and called the retired Knox- ville Police Department investiga- tor a liar. “In looking at the letter Wiser wrote, the only truthful statement I found was that I do have a marked vehicle at my house because often I ride patrol,” Jones said. “Every- thing else as far as I know is untrue. And since he stated he is a candi- date for sheriff, it is my personal opinion that he is misinformed and as a former law enforcement officer is a disgrace to any man or woman who has ever worn a badge.” KCSO public information officer Martha Dooley released a list of the department’s fleet, which did not include any of the vehicles Wiser mentioned. The county finance office was unable to shed much light on the situation since the fleet list does not report vehicles purchased with drug fund money or seized from drug dealers. When asked if KCSO has a high-end Mustang classi- fied as a drug enforcement vehicle, Dooley refused to comment. “I can’t tell you anything be- cause we get into safety and securi- ty issues,” she said. “Some vehicles are part of drug enforcement and are confidential, with no taxpayer money involved.” This is an argument that goes back to the days when then-Coun- ty Commissioner Wanda Moody filed a raft of lawsuits against then-Sheriff Tim Hutchison in an attempt to force him to be ac- countable to county commission for large expenditures.

Moody’s lawyer, Herb Moncier, says he knows nothing about the current sheriff’s policies, but takes a dim view of the historic “veil of secrecy” surrounding drug fund money. “There’s no secret down there as to who has what car. The problem used to be, they didn’t want any- body to know what they are doing, because they have more cars than anybody in the world.

“We tax you all too much,” he said.

Beware the Calendar: School board member Kim Severance said local business-es have been receiving calls from a company claiming to be compiling a Powell High School football calendar. The company is asking businesses to buy ads on the calendar.

Severance asked PBPA members to be careful when purchasing ads like these and make sure the money is actu-ally going to the school or a local booster organization. In this case, the business creating the calendar is out-of-state.

Severance asked business-es wanting to support Powell football to contact the Pow-ell High Touchdown Club to sponsor a banner or buy ads in the program. Info: Vicki Easterday, 938-4558.

By Ruth WhiteThe senior adults at the

Heiskell Community Cen-ter hosted three speakers in June and even had a surprise visit from County Commis-sioner at-large Ed Shouse.

John Heifner with Work-out Anytime in Powell talk-ed with senior adults about the benefi ts of working out regularly.

Heifner introduced the group to The Silver Sneak-ers Fitness Program that gives senior a free member-ship if they qualify through their health plan. Several of the group had heard of the program and others were pleased to know that one had become available within a few miles of their homes.

An RN, Heifner now en-joys working on the preven-tive side of medicine. His goal is to help seniors get back to the point where they can pick up an object with-out it hurting them, and to help lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels with-out medications.

What is the SAM system?

SAM stands for Senior Activity

Monitor. It is a system that has the

ability to constantly monitor various activities in almost any

environment. Each activity can then be reported via email, text, or

phone call to a loved one or other caregiver. A person’s activity, or lack

thereof, is a direct indicator of their well being. Of course, no system is a

replacement for actual care of another person, but the SAM system can

provide peace of mind during day to day routines.

Each system is customized for your specifi c needs.

Call us today to set up a free consultation where we can review your

concerns and design a SAM solution specifi cally for you!

Aging in place...

Aging in place refers to remaining

where you live, as opposed

to a health care environment,

assisted living or nursing home.

Through the use of specially

designed systems and services,

you can remain in your home

as your circumstances change.

You continue to live safely and

independently as you

get older.

We invite you to explore the world of aging in place at SeniorsStay Home

www.seniorsstayhome.com

By merging our SAM system

and our extensive experience

with the aging in place

concept, seniors can enjoy a

more comfortable experience

in their home. Adult children

and caregivers gain peace

of mind through continued

updates of their loved one’s

activities, all for less than one

month of assisted living.

Kathy says every home should have herbs growing around it to use for healthy cooking and medicinal pur-poses. Instead of going to local drug stores we should turn to our herb garden to keep us healthy.

“People always used to walk out into their backyards and the woods for remedies,” she said. “I don’t think (we) would be here without the plants the Creator put on the earth to help sustain us.”

Noweta members were treated to an herbal tea of rose-mary and lemon balm made from fresh-cut herbs right off the farm. After the presentation, lunch was served al fresco on patios located throughout the gift shop.

“Cooking with herbs is not complicated. It’s all about the simplicity of the fl avors. You just take the recipes you al-ready make and add fresh herbs.”

Noweta members toured the farm and learned about the many varieties of herbs and their uses. Info: 435-1452.

The Noweta Garden Club meets at 10 a.m. each fi rst Tues-day at Beaver Creek Cumberland Presbyterian Church. The club takes its meetings on the road when weather permits. Plans for July include a tour of Ivan Racheff House and Gardens. Info: 938-8819.

The unfortunate news that three Knoxville city police offi cers had pleaded guilty on June 10 to state charges of beating and kicking a handcuffed, men-tally ill person might never have happened without the installation of audio and video equipment in police cars which provides com-plete, irrefutable evidence to what happened when charges of excessive force or brutality occur.

Audio/video necessary in police cars

This equipment was installed on my watch as mayor after a series of events in which three African Americans died separately in police custody in just over a year. The most publicized was the Andre Stinson case.

Many of the accusations which arose during these tragic events boiled down to a case of “he said, you said” between two per-sons with no reliable way to determine the facts. How-ever, once there was a fi lm and tape of what happened, then one could not deny what was on tape or fi lm.

In the vast majority of cases, the police offi cers behaved appropriately and the fi lm/tape upheld their actions. In this case, what happened was shameful, excessive and brutal. The tape/fi lm spoke clearly as to what happened. There was no doubt.

Police Chief David Rausch punished all of those involved, including superiors who failed to review the video as well as others who lied in reports or failed to review all of the available in-cruiser video before approving the of-fi cers’ actions.

Lt. Brad Anders, who re-ceived a written reprimand, is also a Knox County commissioner. A year ago he came within one vote of being elected chair of the County Commission. How this may impact his future political endeavors is un-clear, but it is a negative.

The video/audio equip-ment comes with a cost to taxpayers. When fi rst pur-chased in 1998 it was a VHS system which cost in the $1 million range. In 2003, this system was replaced with Mobile Vision VHS system with a comparable cost. Four years later, in 2007,

the system was replaced with a Digital System at a cost of $1.6 million. Annual maintenance runs around $60,000 according to Chief Rausch.

Rausch stated, “It is a very important and worth-while expenditure. The majority of the time, the video protects the offi cer to show that they are doing their jobs correctly and professionally under some very extremely diffi cult situations.”

It might also be stated that this gives the Depart-ment credibility in that complaints will be handled seriously and acted on when inexcusable conduct occurs as it did here. What Judge Steve Sword will do in terms of sentenc-ing on Aug. 8 is unknown. However, Chief Rausch did what he could to correct a clear wrong by those sworn to uphold the law.

■ On a different legal front, TVA has thrown in the towel on its two-year-old dress code for those attending TVA public hearings by rescinding this policy. However, plaintiffs like attorney Chris Irwin, who wore facial paint and was barred from a TVA hearing, insist the federal court needs to bar TVA from issuing a new policy which may be similar to the old policy. TVA needs all the friends it can secure as the Obama Administration suggests major changes including possible sale. This dress code issue is still in federal court and a fi nal decision has not been made. It is hard to explain why TVA ever embarked on such an infringement of free speech.

Knox County Republi-cans will gather at Foun-tain City Park from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, July 20, for the county-wide GOP picnic, hosted this year by the Halls Re-publican Club.

The event will feature activities for children along with badminton, croquet, horseshoes and live entertainment. A call has gone out for those wishing to show off their talents onstage for the

large crowd expected to attend.

West Knox Republican Club has scheduled its big annual family picnic and cake auction for 6 p.m. Monday, July 8, at Roth-child on Kingston Pike.

Elected officials and candidates for office will compete to see whose baked goods will raise the most money for party cof-fers. There will be games outside for children.

Something about the school board not being sub-ject to term limits is an itch other local politicians can’t stop trying to scratch.

“Why should they be above any other elected of-fi cial in the county?” asked Commissioner Mike Brown, one of the most persistent advocates of term limits for school board members.

In April, County Com-mission approved a reso-lution directing state Rep. Ryan Haynes (as chair of the legislative delegation) to ask the Legislature’s law-yers to fi gure out how term limits could be imposed on the school board. Last week Haynes reported back with the answer – and it wasn’t the one the commissioners hoped to hear.

“If we wanted to enact term limits, we’d have to change the general law,” Haynes said. “And that’s not going to pass the General Assembly. If you want to im-

Messing with the school board

plement it in Knox County, you have to have a rational basis as to why Knox Coun-ty should be singled out as the only county that can do this.”

But the commission-ers probably already knew this, because it was clearly spelled out in Jordan v. Knox County – the lawsuit fi led in 2007 by six county commissioners who wanted to overturn a state Supreme Court ruling that the 1994 term limits referendum was valid.

They succeeded locally, which allowed most of them to run for re-election that August. But they got shot down by the Court of Ap-peals, leading most people to believe that the argument

was over. Since then, many have taken exception to the school board’s non-term-limited status.

The document Haynes brought back cites the Jor-dan decision, which ruled that “general law of the state pre-empts the imposition of term limits for any school board member.”

His Nashville lawyers kept hope alive with a cou-ple of longshot possibilities: drawing up a term limits bill that applies only to school boards in counties with charter governments (Knox and Shelby), or devising a bill of local application for Knox County only. But the Nashville lawyers snatched those slim hopes away in the next paragraph:

“The Legislature shall have no power to suspend any general law for the ben-efi t of any particular indi-vidual, nor to pass any law for the benefi t of individuals inconsistent with the gen-

eral laws of the land.”Haynes sounded like he’s

ready to leave this issue alone.

“The Jordan decision said Knox County couldn’t bind the school board or the judiciary (with term limits). I’m happy to help, but their legal department could have told them the same thing I told them.”

But that doesn’t mean ef-forts to mess with the school board have ended.

Knox County Repub-lican Party chair Ruthie Kuhlman, in a recent let-ter to GOP club presidents, listed fi ve “core principles” to which GOP candidates should adhere:

1. Partisan school board races

2. Term limits for school board

3. County/city debt4. Elected superinten-

dent 5. Using local industries/

contractors.

One of the true iconic eateries of several decades ago was the Frontier House on Kingston Pike.

And for the locals, it was often used as a landmark to identify other Kingston Pike establishments. It was also known as the “Farra-gut Country Club” because most of the clientele knew each other and gathered there regularly to social-ize. To that extent, it was very similar to an English Pub or German guest haus.

It was initially oper-ated by John Lee McCarter who hired Marie Turner as manager. John purchased the building in 1959 from Barbara Osborne who, along with her mother and aunt, ran it as a tea house. When John took the plunge, he knew very little about the restaurant business, and I am sure he never envisioned the suc-cess he would have in that venture.

“In 1959, the entire area was very rural,” John re-calls, “and it was so far out in the country our vendors wouldn’t even deliver sup-plies to us. We regularly had to go into Bearden or Knoxville to get our sup-plies. There were not many restaurants out this far, and the vendors didn’t feel it was worth coming out here to service such a small number.”

When John first opened the place, he had a four-member band that played on Friday and Saturday nights in the back room. We lived very near the es-

tablishment and on any given weekend night, we would often get a group of our neighbors together and enjoy an evening of din-ing and dancing to a great band. The band members were Charley Baker on sax-ophone and Jim Clayton on guitar. The other two members were Mel Hines and Ronnie Anderson, and I cannot remember which instruments they played.

After several years, John was ready to “enjoy life” again and decided to sell. At about that time, his brother, Charlie, returned from California and John offered him the opportu-nity to take over the reins. “It was an opportunity I just couldn’t pass up,” said Charlie. “And besides, I knew John would be there to offer advice if I needed him.”

The menu offered good Southern country cook-ing such as fried chicken and country ham, but the real winner was the “Char-lie burger.” As a connois-seur of hamburgers, I can honestly say that it was a burger that had no equal – a large piece of prime ground beef smothered in fried onions with all the trimmings. The exhaust fan also played an impor-tant role because if you drove by with your car windows down and caught the aroma, you were sure to turn around and enjoy a “Charlie burger.”

Two of the many factors that contributed to Char-lie’s success were a great

Remembering the Frontier House

sense of humor and a gen-uine concern for people. The children loved Charlie, and many of the kids that first came with their par-ents brought their children when they became parents. On their closing night, a group of good friends gath-ered to bid Charlie and his wife, Faye, farewell. Faye remembers that some of the children cried.

Although the establish-ment sold beer, the Mc-Carters maintained strict discipline and if someone got too loud they were asked to leave. John re-members one night he

threw a crew of people out who he knew to be truly bad people. John says he was sure they would come back after closing and van-dalize the place. “I spent most of the night on the roof with a shotgun,” says John, “but they never came back.”

Charlie’s sense of humor caused him to tell about two regulars – Earl Hall and Jack Watson – who were having lunch there one day when an ambu-lance came by with its si-ren on. When they pulled the curtain back to see what was happening, there

was so much grease on the window that the sunlight shining through the glass caused a rainbow effect. Earl turned to Jack and said, “I know why Charlie has to charge so much for the ‘Charlie burger,’ he has to pay for these stained -glass windows.”

The McCarters always supported the community events and organizations, particularly those that sponsored children’s ac-tivities. John recalls that he sponsored a little league baseball team called the Cardinals. But because they sold beer, the organiz-

ers would not allow him to use the Frontier House name on the uniform. John recalls that he just put his name on the uniform but that was just as good as using the Frontier House name. Everyone knew who John represented.

When Charlie sold the restaurant, the new own-ers assured him that ev-erything would remain the same – menu, personnel, etc. – but they decided to do considerable modifi-cations which apparently did not go over well with the clientele. And business dropped off almost im-mediately. I guess that is a good example of the old truism: “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”

Today, the Concord/Farragut community is blessed with an abundance of restaurants that offer a diversity of many ethnic cuisines, and I really en-joy the variety. But I still yearn for the ambience and friendliness of the Frontier House. And who knows, perhaps someday an es-tablishment will come up with a burger that rivals the “Charlie burger,” but as yet, I have not found one.

“Now is the judgment of this world; now the ruler of this world will be driven out. And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.”

He said this to indicate the kind of death he was to die.(John 12: 32-33 NRSV)

Once the light dawned in my head I could no longer not see it!

The church I have been attending since my marriage is a small church, pastored by a young smart-as-a-whip preacher who (as nearly as I can tell) hits a home run ev-ery Sunday morning.

I tell you that to explain that it is because of his en-grossing sermons that I had missed the import of the pic-ture and its caption.

Above the altar, behind the pulpit, is a picture of Je-sus. That is not unusual in churches. However, under-neath this particular picture

Heavy lifting

is the verse I quoted above, in a slightly different transla-tion: “I, if I be lifted up, will draw all men unto me.”

It is one of my favorite verses because it makes me believe that God’s love and grace are powerful enough, and big enough, and com-prehensive enough, and for-giving enough to gather us all in. All. All of us. A lot of

people disagree with me on that point, and that is their privilege, but that is what I believe.

And, in my own defense, I missed the larger mean-ing because the Gospel writ-er said what he thought it meant: “He said this to indi-cate the kind of death he was to die.” Okay, so that is what I have always thought that comment intended to say. Je-sus was predicting his meth-od of execution: lifted up on a cross, in one of the most hideous forms of torture the Romans could concoct.

But as I sat in church last Sunday, I read those words again, looked at the picture

of Jesus’ face, and my heart heard a completely different message. It stopped me in my mental tracks.

“If I be lifted up….”And who will lift up Jesus?

Me? You? The church? Who?The questions kept fl ood-

ing my soul. What have I done or said recently that lifted up Jesus? Have I wor-shipped him? Adored him? Have I done anything to show my Savior to a hurting, hungry world?

Then the questions got harder.

Have I obeyed him? Have I followed him?

And harder still: Can any-

one see any glimmer of Jesus in my life? What have I done or said that brought him down, instead of lifting him up?

We sing the great hymn “Lift High the Cross,” and it never fails to stir my heart.

But what if we – you and I – lifted up the Christ in-stead? By our actions, our words, our listening, our faith, our constancy, can we lift him up, so that all the world may see and know that “he is Lord of Lords and King of Kings”? (Revelation 17:14) Can we lift him up so that he can draw all men and women unto himself?

O Lord, let it be so.

Against the backdrop of Tennessee’s three-fourths of one point and the excit-ing tie for 77th place in NCAA track and fi eld, I of-fer this brief insight into how things used to be.

“What the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve.”

That was one of Napo-leon Hill’s hallmark expres-sions. It applies to Chuck Rohe.

If you never heard of Hill, you can look him up – Pound, Va., author, journal-ist, attorney, philosopher.

If you don’t know about Rohe, you missed a magnif-icent chapter in Volunteer history.

Because I believe in miracles, I have sometimes wondered if Rohe was one.

Website to honor Chuck Rohe

He seemingly came out of nowhere, with boundless energy and maybe genius intellect, took over a Ten-nessee track team that was below zero, somehow as-sembled an array of cham-pion athletes, drove them relentlessly and collected a cluster of trophies, medals and ribbons.

His Vols routed South-eastern Conference foes, trampled them so badly some schools were embar-

rassed. Programs were upgraded in self-defense. Some, including Alabama, were forced to build a track. Football funded it. Paul “Bear” Bryant resented that.

Because track coaches didn’t get paid much back then, Rohe added a second job, football recruiting co-ordinator for Doug Dickey. Chuck is directly linked to Richmond Flowers and Chip Kell. His concept of dual-sport stars led to Karl Kremser, Willie Gault, Ron Widby and Condredge Hol-loway.

Chuck didn’t stay long at Tennessee, 1962-1971, but long enough to go 87-10 in dual meets and win an as-tonishing 21 consecutive SEC titles – indoor, out-door and cross-country. Six

times his teams fi nished in the NCAA top 10. He was once national coach of the year. He served on the U.S. Olympic Committee.

He went on to more re-warding things, with Char-ley Coffey to Virginia Tech, into event promotion with Pace Management and on to Orlando to resurrect the Tangerine Bowl and lead it to fancy new names, great TV ratings and signifi cant riches.

Rohe ventured into the World Football League as an owner and administrator but we won’t go there. That he was actually able to sell his franchise may have been an-other miracle.

In semi-retirement, he is executive vice president and national director of Nike Coach of the Year Clinics. Each year they attract more than 10,000 football coaches to 20 sites across America. President of that project is a

familiar name, John Majors.Rohe’s former track and

fi eld Vols have been search-ing for a way to honor their coach and say thank you for leadership at a crucial time in their lives. They didn’t like some of it at the time but they cherish it and him now.

Remember: What the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve. “In our pursuit to preserve the legacy and history of the Rohe era, we will build a web-site,” said former distance runner Coppley Vickers.

It will be a repository for old Vols to post formal ex-pressions of appreciation, adventure stories, tall tales and maybe a few lies. Dr. Tom Scott of shot put fame will do the defi nitive audio/video history, Rohe reminiscing. Former UT sports informa-tion director Bud Ford will create a records section with times, heights and distances

of distinction.There will be a keepsake

photo album, even the classic Bill Dyer cartoon of the Vols pushing the team bus when it ran out of gas.

Rohe’s motivational slo-gans will be treated as trea-sures.

One of my long-ago de-scriptions of the coach might get into an obscure corner: “Chuck Rohe was and is a poster person for the power of positive thinking. He loves life, doesn’t want to miss any and drags reluctant others along for the joy ride. Always up before the crack of dawn, he has stretched the truth as needed and greeted each morning with ‘What a day!’”

That might be good enough for the website. May-be I’ll have a little talk with the planning committee. I know those guys.Marvin West invites reader reaction. His

POWELL Shopper news • JUNE 17, 2013 • A-7 faith

By Dr. Donald G. WegenerBy the headline above, I think you know

where I’m headed with this rule. Most people are shocked to know that a large portion of their be-ing overweight has to do with the fact that they are not eliminating the toxins from their body in a timely manner. At this point I would like to give you a small anatomy lesson on how your body functions.

The majority of your internal organs, in-cluding your digestive system, heart, lungs and any organ that functions without you consciously thinking of it, are controlled by the autonomic nervous system. This branch of your nervous system has two functional components. The sympathetic portions of the autonomic nervous system and the parasym-pathetic portion of the autonomic nervous system (or as some authors say the sympa-thetic or “catabolic” branch and the parasym-pathetic or “anabolic” branch).

The sympathetic branch is the branch that is considered our fi ght-or-fl ight system be-cause it prepares your body to get ready to get out of an emergency situation. In essence it sends blood to our muscles and it takes blood away from our internal organs, stopping or slowing the digestive process while increasing the heart rate and dilating the eyes. The sym-pathetic branch is the dominant system when

we are in a stressful situation.As you can imagine, in today’s environ-

ment people are constantly in stressful situ-ations: not getting enough sleep, working stressful jobs and trying to cope with life, and many people are ingesting stimulants to keep up. In essence our bodies are being bom-barded by chemicals from our food, water and drugs – all of which are designed to help in-crease your energy and oftentimes throw the nervous system out of balance. The problem with this situation is that most people are liv-ing in a sympathetic state, which shuts down digestion and often leads to constipation. This is why America spends over $1.3 million on laxatives each day.

So you can see that we often put ourselves in the situation of taking stimulants to give ourselves more energy when in fact they shut down the digestive process. Then we buy laxatives to help stimulate the elimina-tion process. My point is that you must have balance in your life and you must rely less on stimulants and laxatives, both of which work against each other.

Many testifi ed to sens-ing an extraordinary work of God in healing relationships, including marriages that were near-over.

During the meeting times, older children attended “Base Camp,” younger ones attend-

where Life Action Revival-ist Steve Canfi eld and team pastor Jimmy Herdklotz led Bible study and application specifi cally geared toward family life.

“Though a determination

of genuine revival is often only borne out in the months and years following so-called revival services, the many current signs of change in attitudes and lives lead us to believe that God has truly been “restoring, reanimating and releasing” work in His

people,” said Powell.“At First Baptist Powell,

A-8 • JUNE 17, 2013 • POWELL Shopper news internsMadeline and Mitchell are back

Two of last summer’s interns have joined the group this year, both returning during the second week:

Madeline Lonas is a sophomore at the L&N

STEM Academy, and this is her third year as an intern with the Shopper News.

She enjoys volunteering with Redeeming Hope Ministries’ Urban Garden Experiment and helps out at Planned Parenthood of Middle and East Ten-

nessee as a senior peer advisor. After high school, Madeline plans to study law, mathematics and political science at the University of Tennessee.

Mitchell Zavadil will be a sophomore at

Farragut High School in the fall. This is his sec-ond year in the intern program,

and he enjoys classic rock including Ozzy Osbourne. He said he is very excited to be a Shopper intern again.

The ‘know it all’ at Knoxville Zoo

By Sara BarrettThe Shopper News in-

terns took a “walk on the east side” last week during a visit with a feathered resident of the Knoxville Zoo, a trip to TDOT’s traffi c management center, lunch at local trea-sure Chandler’s Restaurant and a tour of Beck Cultural

Exchange Center … with a couple of stops in between.

Shopper News publisher Sandra Clark, photogra-pher Ruth White and re-porter Sara Barrett dem-onstrated note taking, photography and keeping both feet firmly on the ground (sorry, Sandra).

If you have only 30 minutes to spend at one of Knoxville’s most beloved tourist attractions, what is the one thing to see?

According to Tina Rolen and Nikki Edwards from the Knoxville Zoo, Congo African Grey Parrot Einstein is the “go to” bird for all

things comical and entertaining.Edwards, the zoo’s lead train-

er and presenter of shows, said Einstein can repeat about 85 sounds on command and knows hundreds more from his sur-roundings. Only one of four par-rots like Einstein can talk, and

he is a popular feature of the “Animals in Action” show held daily at the zoo.

The interns called out differ-ent animals for Einstein to mimic including a chimpanzee and an el-ephant, although the 26-year-old parrot just replied with the word

“Afl ac” when Edwards asked what would make him feel safe if he saw a herd of elephants coming his way.

Rolen, the zoo’s assistant di-rector of marketing, also gave the group a scoop on a new exhibit opening in July: the Williams

Family Giraffe Experience will allow zoo visitors to get up close with giraffes and feed them by hand. Details to come.

Rolen said the zoo sees 400,000 visitors each year. “The only other attraction in Knoxville that brings in more people is UT football.”

The interns visit the TDOT traffi c management center to see the city from a diff erent perspective. Pictured are: Joshua Mode, Tay-

lor Smith, Sarah Dixon, Madeline Lonas, Gibson Calfee, Lindsey Sanders, Paul Brooks, Laura Beeler, Mitchell Zavadil, Zoe Risley,

Department of Transportation

Traffi c with TDOTAfter a quick sprint to

the car, the group headed to TDOT’s Region 1 headquar-ters at Strawberry Plains for a crash course (no pun intended) in traffi c moni-toring.

Community relations of-fi cer Mark Nagi gave the in-terns access to a restricted area where a wall of 18 fl at-screen televisions and three operators keep all eyes on traffi c fl ow throughout Knox County.

Dean Roberts (his Twit-ter account says he provides IT support for the Intelli-gent Transportation System here in town) said there are similar systems in Chatta-nooga, Memphis and Nash-ville. This one opened in May of 2005.

Roberts said the moni-toring system includes 50 miles of fi ber optic network, and it took $20 million to complete. He said that is small potatoes compared to the cost of building more lanes on interstates. For in-stance, the SmartFix proj-ect downtown cost $100 million to construct 9/10 of a mile of roadway.

The cameras are real-time only, Roberts said. TDOT does not record traffi c. “We try to identify things before they become real problems,” said Roberts. TDOT runs the system 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

He wants everyone to “know before you go” by checking TDOT’s website or by calling 511 for the latest traffi c alerts.

Driving through BurlingtonBefore grabbing lunch, the troupe

travelled through a once-bustling area of town that now only has emp-ty buildings and broken signs where thriving businesses once stood.

“Burlington has lost the residential base necessary to sustain the now-shut-

tered businesses,” said Sandra Clark.City leaders “talk a lot about it but

have no concrete plans to help,” Dep-uty Mayor Bill Lyons said in response to an inquiry. “Someone has to put in an initial investment for the city to help with infrastructure,” he said.

Talkative teenagers looked qui-etly at the empty buildings as they rode passed houses overgrown with weeds and outdated strip malls with nothing in them.

“This is sad, really sad,” said Gibson Calfee.

Chowing down at Chandler’s

Chandler’s Deli on Magnolia Photo by Ruth White

By Ruth WhiteChandler’s isn’t the big-

gest restaurant in town, but it’s worth the wait in line to eat some of the tastiest com-fort food in East Tennessee.

During a recent football season when ESPN came to town for College Game Day, the crew polled students at UT to fi nd out their favor-ite Knoxville eating place. Chandler’s won hands down, so the crew spent three days visiting the establishment and ordering food for the day. Unknown to the Chan-dlers, the crew was sampling the menu before returning on day four to reveal their intentions. Chandler’s Deli

was featured on College Game Day and the popular-ity of the restaurant soared.

It’s not hard to under-stand why they are packed at lunchtime or why they have won numerous awards for having the Best Com-fort Food, Best Soul Food and Best Meat and Three in town. The portions are hearty, and one bite will take you back to a place of warm fuzzy memories. While visiting the restau-rant, I tried the rotisserie chicken, homemade mac and cheese and a yeast roll. Everything tasted just like it was prepared – with fresh ingredients and a lot of love.

By Gibson CalfeeChandler’s Deli is an in-

teresting restaurant with a lot of history. It all started in 1997 when Gwen Chandler got laid off from the Levi’s factory in Knoxville because they were relocating.

Then in 2000, Gwen’s husband Charles H. Chan-dler retired from his job at K-25. They wanted to do something else for which-they both had a passion: cooking. Thus, Chandler’s was born.

A visit to Chandler’sCharles Chandler said

“Without her, Gwen, there would be no Chandler’s.”

Since its opening on May 19, 2000, Chandler’s Deli has had many special guests come and enjoy the South-ern-style cooking. Guests

have included former Green Bay Packer Raleigh McKen-zie, Tennessee football play-er Eric Berry, former Ten-nessee football coach Derek Dooley, Gov. Bill Haslam and former “Voice of the Vols” John Ward.

The museum at Beck

By Madeline LonasBeing the largest Afri-

can-American organization in East Tennessee, you can imagine why Beck Cultural Exchange Center is a ma-jor tourist attraction. The house in which most of the artifacts are held is over 125 years old. Throughout the building you see many dif-ferent artifacts, paintings, and other knick-knacks that tell a story of African-Amer-ican history.

Beck is home to more than 10,000 pictures and drawings. The newest is a hand-drawn timeline in-cluding famous African Americans from the 1800s

to modern times. The time-line is black and white with just pictures.

Artist Allen Jones asked Beck organizers if they wanted him to identify the subjects and their time periods. The folks at Beck told him no, that they had a strong feeling every-one would know who they were.

Tour guide Timothy Vass-er’s favorite showcase is in a room full of paintings and drawings. One glass case is full of artifacts from the time of slavery, showcas-ing the equipment used on disobedient slaves. The case includes a neck yoke, a face

mask, shackles, ball and chains, and locks. All were made of metal and used on the slaves. The terrifying stories he told us of how the equipment was used on the slaves were heart-wrench-ing. Vasser said the slaves just wanted what everyone else wanted, rights and a house, to not be owned by someone else and to not be treated poorly. You could tell he was an expert on this.

For everyone with chil-dren, or an eye for history, the Beck Center provides a very fun, educational tour that’s free. Instead if a va-cation, it could be a stay-cation.

After some sweet Southern food at Chandler’s, the group headed to Dandridge Avenue to see the sculpture of internationally known author Alex Haley, located in Haley Heritage Square directly across from Morningside Park.

The roots of our heritageBy Joshua Mode

Whenever you think of African-American history, who do you think of? One person that might come to mind is Alex Haley.

Alex Haley was born in New York, on Aug. 11, 1921, but he grew up with his family in Henning, Tenn. He later went into the Coast Guard for 20 years and was ranked petty offi cer fi rst-class, one of few openings African Americans had at the time.

During his time in the Coast Guard, Haley also taught himself the craft of

writing stories. It is said he was paid by other sail-ors to write love letters to their girlfriends. He re-tired from the Coast Guard in 1959.

In 1976, Haley pub-lished the best-selling nov-el “Roots: The Saga of an American Family,” which is a story about his family’s heritage going all the way back to Africa and their in-credible journey.

My dad is considered the “Alex Haley” of our fam-ily due to all his genealogy research. In a way, Haley inspired my dad. So as I

looked at the grand monu-ment to him, I could see how he has done so much for our country. He sparked the nation’s curiosity to fi nd their heritage again and see who they once were.

This monument stands for many things. Aside from breaking boundaries in being the second-tallest African-American monu-ment in the world, it also is a tribute to fi nding your roots, and daring to try an adventure.

In the words of Alex Haley, “Find the good and praise it.”

After a visit to the Alex Haley statue and Morn-ingside Park, the interns stopped at Beck Cultural Exchange Center to learn about the history of local African-Americans.

The facility has more than 5,000 square feet with archives that include pic-tures, books, artifacts and DVDs. The original model of the Alex Haley statue is housed there.

Beck archivist and tour guide Timothy Vasser showed us a number of original works by local Af-rican-American artists and several pieces of memora-bilia from Knoxville’s segre-gation era. There were also some very sobering items from America’s slavery pe-riod.

“Overseas, slavery wasn’t about color,” said Vasser. “If you lost the battle, you became a slave. It did not become about color until (slavery) came to America.”

Vasser said the most im-portant exhibit in the cen-

ter’s collection is a group of authentic slave restraints that include a ball and chain, an iron collar and a face mask.

Vasser told the interns about a recent visitor who had just come from the Un-derground Railroad Muse-um in Ohio and commented that they should have vis-ited Beck fi rst, because the collection of slavery arti-facts was so impressive.

The second fl oor of the center includes many items from Knoxville native Wil-

liam Hastie Jr., a judge and public educator who, Vasser said, always told people he was a native “Knoxvillian” even long after he moved from the area.

Vasser said donations are needed for the center to continue to thrive. Together, Knox County and the city of Knoxville give Beck about $100,000 annually. The in-terns witnessed fi rsthand the expenses that can arise when Vasser said the air conditioning was not cur-rently working.

By Roxanne AbernathyThe Beck Cultural Ex-

change Center, founded in 1975, is a museum of art and history for Afri-can-American culture, also focusing on dif-ferent parts of the civil rights movement. Many pictures are displayed in

what was once the Beck house.

The Becks were a couple living in Knoxville dur-ing the time of segrega-tion, from the 1920s to the 1960s. Most of the original house is still standing.

Beck has many differ-ent rooms with exhib-

its, including local and modern artists and other historical material. The center is able to continue operating because of do-nations from the com-munity of both time and money. Some fundraising is currently being planned for the summer.

Shopper News Presents Miracle Makers

Knox County Council PTA Nominate a Miracle Maker by calling

By Wendy SmithPersistence paid off when A.L.

Lotts Elementary School teacher Karla Fultz entered Oak Ridge As-sociated Universities’ Extreme Class-room Makeover for the third time. She won $25,000 to spend on tech-nology for her 5th grade classroom.

Karla Fultz prepares for a makeoverConnecting students with technology tools

I’m so glad you’re here, now

we know what we’re missing;

Technology is something we

shouldn’t be dismissing.

I want to use the tools of

my generation;

Connecting to the world will

provide acceleration.

“Gangnam Style” rap written by Karla Fultz for ORAU’s Extreme Classroom Makeover contest

Last week, Fultz’s classroom was shrouded with black plastic for Camp Invention. But the room will soon un-dergo another transformation as the equipment she has purchased is in-stalled. At the end of July, ORAU will host an Extreme Classroom Makeover “reveal” party for last year’s students and their families.

Fultz is excited, but also over-whelmed. She plans to devote much of her time over the next few weeks to learning how to use the new equip-ment. She may not be savvy when it comes to electronics, but her creativity shines through in the video she wrote for the ORAU contest, which is on the consortium’s website.

The video tells the story of a new student being introduced to the class during a science lesson. Technology, one of the students says, is anything that makes life easier, like a tooth-brush or a pencil. The new student asks if the classroom has any examples of technology from this century, then launches into a rap in a “Gangnam Style” video takeoff.

Fultz regrets that the students who worked so hard on the video won’t get to use the new equipment. But she’s happy that most will attend West Valley Mid-dle School, which is one of 11 schools that will pilot Knox County’s one-to-one technology effort (one technology device for each stu-dent) this fall.

Before choosing equipment, Fultz sought the advice of two previous

Extreme Classroom Makeover win-ners. Rocky Hill Elementary 5th grade teacher Jordan Haney won the prize in 2010, and he suggested that Fultz pur-chase a variety of devices for students to use, rather than 24 of the same thing. She chose a mix of notebook computers and tablets will with rotate students throughout the year, and she thinks the variety will keep students engaged.

She also observed how Heather Burkhart, a 5th grade teacher at Pi-geon Forge Middle School, utilizes one-to-one technology. Burkhart, who won the makeover in 2012, constantly assesses her students, which enables her to monitor learning, Fultz says.

Fultz considered spending a chunk of her budget on a new active board, but opted instead to purchase a 70-inch fl at-screen television equipped with Apple TV. Each electronic device in the classroom will be able to com-municate with the television.

She has much to learn, but she’s very motivated to reach

her students, who are often bored at school and anx-ious to get home

so they can use technology there. Work-ing on computers in the

classroom will keep students inter-ested, and also help them prepare for future jobs, she says.

In addition to motivating students, Fultz hopes to make ORAU proud. The consortium wants to see if having

Karla Fultz visits with Ben Keziah, Jared Watkins,

Olivia Knowling and Kylie Stooksbury during

Camp Invention last week. Keziah, Watkins and

Stooksbury were in her 5th grade class last year.

Knowling will be a 5th grader at A.L. Lotts this fall.

Karla Fultz, a 5th grade teacher at A.L. Lotts Elementary School, is excited but

overwhelmed about learning to use new devices that will soon be installed in

her classroom. She received $25,000 to spend on technology from ORAU’s Ex-

treme Classroom Makeover contest this spring. Photos by Wendy Smith

technology in the classroom makes a difference in student learning, and she wants her students’ test scores to show that it does, she says.

A. L. Lotts principal Adam Parker will also have an eye on the students in Fultz’s class.

“As we watch the technology class-room environment unfold, it can give us some insight as to how we may be

able to better approach a one-to-one environment effectively as it relates to delivering curriculum,” he says.

Her summer vacation will be short-er than usual, but next month’s “re-veal” will be the culmination of a lot of hard work – and a lot of fun – for Fultz.

“It’s been a really special year for all of us,” she says. “It’s something we’ll never forget.”

Frazier gets awardWalters State Community College graduated

36 officers in the latest Basic Law Enforcement Academy, held in Greeneville.

Powell resident Brittany Frazier received the Charles Edward Bas-kette Memorial Award for courage and determination at graduation. Others from Knox County were Jus-tin Thomas Parker, Knoxville; and Evan R. Justice, Corryton.

The program offers the eight-week training required of all new law enforcement recruits during their first year of employment. Graduation was June 7.

Two Rural/Metro ambu-lance teams have received special honors for providing expert pre-hospital care, and they were able to meet the pa-tients whose lives they saved.

On May 23, Rural/Metro paramedics Tasha Wise, Sar-ah Bickley and Jeffery Lam-parter, along with represen-tatives of the city of Knoxville Fire Department and Knox County Schools, were hon-ored with a Tennessee Emer-gency Medical Services for Children Star of Life Award for their quick action in sav-ing the life of a 14-year-old Central High School student.

In October 2012, Hunter Helton suddenly collapsed while running in the gym. A

Central High School coach used an automated external defi brillator located at the school to restart his heart. KFD fi rst responders and Rural/Metro responded, and Rural/Metro transport-ed him to East Tennessee Children’s Hospital quickly, providing expert emergency care en route. This quick ac-tion saved his life.

“The Rural/Metro team’s expertise and our seamless teamwork with Knox County Schools and the Knoxville Fire Department saved a young man’s life last fall,” said Dennis Rowe, Rural/Metro market general man-ager. “I am proud of our hard-working men and women at

Paramedics honored, meet patients

a ceremony in Nashville, Central High School student Hunter Helton presented the award to the

fi rst responders and paramedics who saved his life.

chett during lunch. Photo by Cindy Taylor

By Cindy TaylorLunch with Knox Coun-

ty Mayor Tim Burchett at Steamboat Sandwiches in Powell was not the usual political meet-and-greet. It was more of a time to just hang out.

Of course there was the customary shaking of hands and “hellos,” but otherwise the occasion was unscripted and free fl owing. Burchett says he likes getting out into the community for these lunches to promote small businesses and meet people he would otherwise never get to know.

“It’s tough sometimes for people to get downtown and then they have to pay to park,” said Burchett. “I just think government’s gotten a little too big for its britches.”

Waiting his turn

Barber Sullivan were happy to host the event.

“They called us and wanted to come and have lunch,” said Ava. “We ap-preciate it and love having them come here.”

Burchett says he likes to move from table to table to sit and give folks an oppor-tunity to tell him their prob-lems. He says if they are sit-ting with their heads down he knows they don’t want to

talk to him.“I always have something

to talk about,” said Karns Middle School teacher Sher-ry Morgan.

Folks attending were from Knox County Educa-

tion Association, Tennessee State School of Firearms, lo-cal businesses and the com-munity. The most impressive thing to see was the mayor waiting in a line running 10-plus deep to order – just like

everyone else.“If you see a politician

cutting line that’s a politi-cian that needs to get their butt beat,” he said. “You’ll probably catch them in something else, too.”

Rural/Metro and our fi rst re-sponders who stand ready to step in at any moment in the case of a medical emergency.”

The Star of Life Award is given annually to honor out-standing EMS professionals from across Tennessee who provide life-saving care on the front lines. At the cere-mony, Helton helped present the award to the team who

saved his life. On May 30, another Ru-

ral/Metro ambulance team was honored by a patient at UT Medical Center. UT Medi-cal Center hosted a recep-tion where paramedics Ryan Morris and Tasha Wise were reunited with John Sharp, a North Knox resident who sur-vived a near fatal car accident.

In February 2012, Sharp was severely injured in a car accident which tore the top portion of his heart, a condition that is one of the top three causes of death in trauma injuries. Sharp was unconscious while being transported to UT Medical Center and did not remem-ber his pre-hospital caregiv-

ers. He felt it was important to meet them and express his appreciation. At the UT Med-ical Center ceremony, Sharp thanked Morris and Wise and presented them with a special gift to honor them for saving his life.

“Often, our paramedics never get to meet the patients whose lives were saved by their actions,” said Rowe. “It is wonderful for our teams to have the opportunity to meet with patients like John Sharp and Hunter Helton after they have returned to health. Their vibrant lives are a pow-erful reminder of why we work hard every day to pro-tect Knox County residents.”

NEWS FROM TEMPLE BAPTIST ACADEMY

K4 program

enrolling for fallTemple Baptist Academy is now

enrolling students, like Beloved Um-

watari, pictured here, for the new K4

program beginning this fall. K4 will be

a half-day program meeting Monday

through Friday during the school

year. Financial aid is available. Space is

limited. Info: 938-8181 or email info@

templebaptistacademy.com.

Recital at Crown Music ConservatoryZai Let Ningnye, a 4th-grader at Temple Baptist Academy, plays a piece on the piano

during the Crown Music Conservatory Spring recital on May 4. Students from the com-

munity exhibited their talents and skills. The conservatory is entering its eighth year of

providing quality instrumental and vocal instruction for all ages. For more information

or to enroll in music lessons, call 938-8186.

On May 24, Temple Baptist Academy held its 36th annual high school graduation ceremony. Family and friends gath-ered for the special occa-sion to show their support for this year’s senior class.

Congratulations Class of 2013!

Valedictorian Alex Hwang

with his mother, Carol

Hwang.

Graduates Brittany James and Isabell Helget sing “Leave a Legacy.”

Salutatorian Micah Houston

delivers a speech during the

Temple Baptist Academy

graduation ceremony.

As the graduates en-tered the auditorium of Temple Baptist Church to

the sounds of “Pomp and Circumstance,” a sense of accomplishment could be seen on their faces. Principal David Whitaker began the ceremony with a greeting, and Vice Prin-cipal Tim Missey led an opening prayer.

Valedictorian Alex Hwang addressed the audience and his fellow classmates. He recount-ed some of the many memories he made while attending the Academy since kindergarten.

Alex noted, “Only as we live for Christ can we reach satisfaction and know that the life we live is not in vain.”

Alex will be attending UT this fall to pursue a degree in science with plans to go into the med-ical field.

Salutatorian Micah Houston refl ected on those who infl uenced his life. He expressed his gratitude to God for fam-ily, faculty and friends who invested in him and

encouraged him by mak-ing his education possible.

He told his fellow graduates, “Our indi-vidual paths will diverge from here, but the foun-dation of a solid Chris-tian education has been laid as we’re going for-ward as ambassadors for Christ.”

Micah will also be at-tending UT this fall.

Dr. Clarence Sexton, pastor of Temple Baptist Church, was the com-mencement speaker. He spoke to graduates about living a God-guided, dis-ciplined life that brings one freedom and direc-tion. Sexton reminded

the graduates of the gift of education they have received and that the graduation ceremony is not an ending, but a new beginning—an opportu-nity to continue in their pursuit of God and His will for their lives. Sex-ton exhorted the class to develop a philosophy

of life that grows out of knowing God.

The graduates of Tem-ple High School’s class of 2013 are excited about their future and are ea-ger to build on the foun-dation they received while attending Temple Academy.

Many of the students from this year’s class plan to pursue a college educa-tion in a variety fi elds.

On May 7, Temple High School student athletes were treated to a special year-end awards banquet on the campus of Crown College. Temple athletic director Michael Scoggins, along with coaches and assistant coaches, recognized the many special individual and team accomplishments from the 2012-13 school year.

non Sexton presents an award to Steven
