UT response to stadium issues

In last week’s Shopper, Nate Harrison offered what he hoped was constructive criticism about miscommuni-cations, fi rst-aid delays, gate rules set in concrete and two fans who blocked his view and wouldn’t sit down.

As promised, I asked Chris Fuller, UT senior associate ath-letics director for all external operations, including commu-nications, sales and marketing, tickets and special events, for a response.

All the tools you need for your small business

By Libby MorganMaynardville city manager

Jack Rhyne is moving on with dreams and schemes for making Maynardville a better place to live.

He and the Downtown Revital-ization Committee have their eye on a parcel of property just north of the courthouse on Ailor Drive, where North Fork Bull Run Creek meanders through the old farm just off Main Street.

Plans were drawn up pro bono

by a fi rm in Nashville to give the idea form.

“This is just a preliminary plan,” says Rhyne. “This location is a suggestion and the layout can be changed. This gives us some-thing to discuss.

“A creek goes through the grounds and a spring on the prop-erty could have a picnic area by it.

“We could have a splash pad, a skate park, horseshoe pits – all that could be added over time.

NEIGHBORHOOD BUZZ

Ballpark plans “We have a good opportunity to get half the money needed to build a park through a Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation grant, and the rest could come from in-kind contri-butions.

“But I’m not interested in doing this unless there is a full time di-rector responsible for our parks – someone who is given real strong authority and who can make sure the upkeep and maintenance are done.”

Rhyne recently attended a workshop for rural town plan-ners at Montgomery Bell State Park, where they showed a nice

sports park in a small town that, for lack of oversight, had turned into weeds surrounded by torn-up fences.

The walking trail in front of the high school is well on its way to reality. The plan has been detailed and Rhyne thinks a start date on excavation will be soon.

Another idea in Jack’s cross-hairs is a combined city museum/visitor center/Chamber offi ce downtown.

“All of this will take time. We just need to get the momentum going,” he says.

Susie Strange Acuff, m1. Nancy E. Clapp; m2 Nancy Gilbert Keller; and was the grandfather of Roy Claxton Acuff.

E. D. Monroe wrote this of Mr. Acuff after his death in 1931. “. . . [After the Civil War] he farmed and taught school until 1874, when he was elected County Court Clerk of Union County and was twice re-elected, serv-ing 12 years.

“He was admitted to the Bar in 1886 and served in the Tennessee legislature in 1887-1888 [representing Union and Campbell Coun-ties] … He was always ready to help those that stood in need, was kind and af-fectionate to all those with whom he came in contact … He was well-versed in the scriptures and delighted to engage in conversation with those who were interested … He was a kind husband, an affectionate father and a de-sirable neighbor.”

Sgt. Nathaniel Acuff served in the Union Army Co. B.8th Tennessee Cav-alry. He was born 1834, the son of the Rev. Anderson Acuff and Lucy Popejoy

Acuff. Nathaniel married Phoebe Hubbs in 1853. He served from April 23, 1863, to Sept. 11, 1865; he was shot through his right leg.

TEACHER TIME

This lady loved politics, and how fortunate there was a presidential election in November 1976. Though the 6th grade social stud-ies text was “Living in the Old World,” that did not

stop Mrs. Ann Crass from introducing the “Weekly Reader” and its fine cover-age of the national contest between Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter. Thanks to her passion for politics my classmates and I had many heated debates concerning who was the best candi-date.

My fi rst of many great political disappointments was when “I lost my vote” and most of my classmates went to the extreme to “rub it in.”

The 1970s witnessed in-tense focus on energy con-servation. One of the topics was how to recognize the smell of natural gas to de-tect leaks. TVA gave each student a card that when scratched smelled like natu-ral gas.

The kind of natural gas with which we were famil-iar differed signifi cantly from what TVA had in

mind, and there was much excitement when several of the students in Mr. John-son’s homeroom simultane-ously scratched their cards and “stunk” Mrs. Crass out of the room.

Half a year of 7thgrade social studies was Tennes-see history. We studied how Tennessee became a state, and Mrs. Crass put us in groups to form our own states in 1796 and write its constitution. My group’s state was Dogwood, and as part of its constitution I wrote that anyone driving over 55 mph would be put in jail. It took me a while to fi gure out why Mrs. Crass asked, “What kind of horse goes that fast?”

Mrs. Crass usually didn’t have a problem when we talked quietly during class-work, but she had one fl at rule – like E. F. Hutton, when she talked, we lis-tened! Any malefactor with the audacity to talk when she was speaking received “the look.” This did not hap-pen often, but when it did

Mrs. Crass stopped mid-word and stared straight at the perpetrator until s/he literally withered. Then Mrs. Crass continued as if nothing had happened.

Of course, at one point I sat in front of a classmate who had the prettiest natu-ral shade of red hair I to this day have ever seen on any girl. Mrs. Crass was teach-ing, and this girl tapped me on the shoulder to ask a question. I tried as quietly as possible to answer when I heard DEAD SILENCE – I was receiving “the look!” After a few eternal seconds, during which I sank as low as I could in my seat, Mrs. Crass continued as though nothing had happened.

I never again saw Mrs. Crass after 7th grade, and sadly this magnifi cent teacher passed away from cancer while I was in high school. Nowhere else in the ensuing 36 years have I again seen “the look,” but I remember it well!

Next week, daily warm welcomes.

Jersey Mike’s Subs has boosted summer program-ming for YMCA of East Tennessee through money raised by a fi ve-day grand-opening promotion at its new West Knox location.

Ryan Wood, managing partner, presented a check for $5,067 to Y leaders last week. It will be used to fund swim lessons and tu-ition for summer day camp.

“Approximately 100 kids will be helped with the tuition for camp and 60 young people will benefi t from the lifesaving skill of swim lessons with the money donated by Jersey Mike’s,” said Lori Hum-phreys, executive director of the YMCA of East Ten-nessee.

The Y’s “Readers, Dreamers, Believers” sum-mer day camp is open to children in grades K-6 and operates on a children’s-choice system that allows campers to select activities of interest to them. Each week is themed around subjects such as sports, nature, the arts, imagina-tion and history.

Good parenting can help keep your teen drug free.

Talk to your teen about drugs.Only a third of parents talk to their teens about the risks of using drugs and alcohol, despite research showing that kids are less likely to use if parents have these conversations.

Set clear "No-Drug" rulesTelling your teen that drugs and alcohol are not allowed – and outlining the consequences for breaking the rules – are important steps to keeping your child drug-free.

Be involved.Teens whose parents are involved in their lives are less likely to use illicit drugs or alcohol, or to be involved in other risky behaviors. Talk to other parents about their rules and level of involvement, too.

Ask the right questions.Know what your children are doing when they are away from you, where

monitor digital activities, too, such as Internet usage, text messaging and social networking sites.

Stay informed about emerging drug threats.Keep up with what new drug trends teens might be into, such as using prescription drugs to get high. Track quantities of medication in your own home, dispose of old pills safely and properly, and ask others, such as family members, to do the same.

If you think your child is using, we will help. Just call us.

This plan gives park proponents a visual to garner support for a new city park with ballfi elds in Maynardville.

When I asked Tennes-see fans about Neyland Stadium experiences, Nate Harrison surprised me with specifi c comments.

In last week’s Shopper, Harrison offered what he hoped was constructive criticism about miscommu-nications, fi rst-aid delays, gate rules set in concrete and two fans who blocked his view and wouldn’t sit down.

As promised, I asked Chris Fuller, UT senior as-sociate athletics director for all external operations, including communications, sales and marketing, tickets and special events, for a re-sponse.

Chris is a busy man, but he responded, saying, fi rst of all, it was unusual to re-ceive word of specifi c prob-lems described by identifi -able sources.

“Sounds like several things here, starting with the mailing address, that we could have done better.”

He spoke of good judg-ment and common sense but also praised the various support groups who are part of a home football game – including different levels of police, ushers and Red Cross workers.

“We work cooperatively but it’s easy to understand how not all are on the same page with all issues, espe-

UT response to stadium issues

cially when you’re dealing with 100,000 people.”

Concerning my favorite hot-button issue, Fuller said there is no policy regarding “standing fans.”

If there was one, he said it would be very diffi cult to enforce.

Fuller invited David El-liott, assistant athletics director for event manage-ment, to chime in.

“Chris is correct. We do not have a policy on ‘stand-ing’ and I do not know of any place in college or professional athletics that does. We do ask our ushers to work with a customer-friendly attitude – which it seems they tried to do in talking with the patrons who were standing. We ask that fans try to respect oth-ers in their areas. But, as Chris mentioned, it would be an impossible task to try to enforce.”

Elliott said he has re-ceived very f ew complaints about fans standing in seat-ing areas. He does deal with people who become abusive. He says they are removed so

others around them can en-joy the game.

Harrison wanted to es-cort his ailing mother-in-law to their car and return to the stadium. The gate at-tendant said no way, if you go out, you are out.

Elliott says the SEC has a “no pass-out policy.”

Just guessing but that is probably intended to elimi-nate halftime trips to cars

for liquid refreshments.Elliott said that in cir-

cumstances such as Har-rison reported, gate su-pervisors are expected to intervene as best they can and make a judgment call.

“Sadly, people try to abuse this situation. How-ever there are times when common sense should dic-tate response.”

Elliott said fi rst-aid de-

lays are sometimes un-avoidable.

“Our event staff does an excellent job in managing 100,000-plus crowds, but with a number like that, in-cidents happen that do not go as well as we would like.”

He said at early-season afternoon games, emergen-cy workers have sometimes been inundated with calls due to extreme heat and hu-midity.

“We have had games where we have had 300 treatments.”

I liked Elliott’s attitude. It matched Fuller’s.

“We try to learn from those incidents and seek ways to improve.”

There was no offi cial UT response to my idea for a standing-fan section, no seats, short people in front, tall fans behind, stand for warmups, National An-them, the entire game, even intermission, wave both arms non-stop and keep yelling, “Go Vols.”Marvin West invites reader reaction. His

Be a volunteerBy Joshua Mode

Do you want to volunteer somewhere, but don’t know which organization to join?

There are many orga-nizations around you that need volunteers!

I participated in one of these organizations: Mo-bile Meals. This organiza-tion welcomes any volun-teers able to deliver meals to senior citizens who need it.

Simply saying hello to them not only makes their day better but yours as well.

Being a volunteer is a great way to invest your time and energy to do some-thing good for your area.

If you don’t know any volunteer organizations and are willing to do so, here are some organizations and numbers to fi nd out more:

■ Project Live, helpingseniors live independently.Info: 524-2786

■ Knox Paws, placingadoptable pets with seniors.Info: 546-6262

■ Grand Parents asParents Program, a pro-gram for grandparents rais-ing children. Info: 524-2786

■ C.H.I.P.S., computersfor homebound and isolatedseniors. Info: 546-6262

■ Mobile Meals, deliv-ering meals to seniors. Info:524-2786

Also, Knox Area Res-cue Ministry needs agroup willing to sand andrefi nish eight tables in thewomen’s community room.The tables were donated byUT Medical Center when itredid its cafeteria.

This would make a greatproject for a Scout troop.

By Laken ScottKnoxville Area Res-

cue Ministries, otherwise known as KARM, is a non-profi t organization that helps people who are home-less or in crisis.

KARM’s men’s overnight shelter has 200 beds, but can sleep more.

KARM has a cafeteria, where they serve more than 1,000 meals a day, 365 days a year. And if you’re wor-ried it might be dirty, with so many people coming in-side, don’t be! The staff and volunteers will be proud to show you their 100 score from the Knox County Health Department!

Don’t worry, they haven’t forgotten the women. In fact, Sue Renfro, KARM marketing manager, stated, “Women are the fastest growing segment of home-lessness.”

Eye-opening visits to KARM and Mobile Meals

interns

By Charlie HamiltonWe had the privilege of

visiting Knox Area Res-cue Ministries, otherwise known as KARM.

The KARM mission is located on Broadway in the former location of Beaty Chevrolet. In the early 1990s the car dealership

was rennovated to become the KARM shelter.

KARM supplies rescue services of food and shelter, then healthy supportive re-

lationships and restoration, including job training op-portunities. KARM serves more than 1,000 meals per day, feeding not only the

KARM gets maximum use of space

homeless, but many in cri-sis. Also, KARM’s emer-gency and residential shel-ters for men, women and families are home to nearly 400 people each night, pro-viding a safe place for those in need.

The men’s fl oor has 200 beds and can house more on pallet beds if needed. The women’s fl oor has been renovated from 40 beds to 103 for women in need. The Crossroads is the welcome center for the homeless and those in need when they fi rst arrive to get help.

They have a new pro-gram starting up called The Bridge program for those in transition to a career and steady job. Men in this pro-gram live on a fl oor that has dorms. Also in the KARM building is a career cen-ter and classrooms where

people can attend courses to fi gure out their goals and get their lives back on track.

About 20 percent of those who seek aid at KARM are veterans, and about 30 percent have some form of diagnosed mental illness. KARM houses mostly men, but the female homeless population has the fastest increasing rate.

Another interesting fact about KARM is that it is not government-funded and runs on donations and prof-its from the KARM Thrift Stores.

Knoxville is lucky to have an organization that cares for people in their times of need, an organization that works to make the commu-nity better. Homelessness is a growing problem, and ev-eryone should help.

KARM hosts a wom-en’s lodging area they lov-ingly call “Hope Haven.” Hope Haven, which used to have 40 beds, now has 103! There is also a new women’s community room, which includes magazines, games, tables, chairs, even a private room with a telephone.

KARM also has a four-

week course called Launch Point which, as of now, has about 320 graduates. This course helps students de-veop an action plan, estab-lish a support group, and create long- and short-term goals.

There is also the men’s transitional fl oor, known as “The Bridge.” The Bridge

can house 40-44 men at a time in a dorm-like setting. This provides them lodging while the men fi nd jobs and permanent housing, and surrounds them with volun-teers, friends and mentors.

Crossroads Center func-tions like a hospital’s emer-gency room. If someone comes inside and needs help, KARM will help them fi nd the information they need and give them an ID card. Although it isn’t a hospital, Crossroads abides by the HIPAA rules, which state that a volunteer or staff member may not di-vulge information about the person in crisis without their consent.

KARM has helped many people. As we interns toured the facility, a man came up to us and said he felt called to speak: “I came from a life of unhealthy choices ... and what this [KARM] has re-stored in me is hope.”

Intern Laken Scott reads goals of participants in the Launch-Point program at KARM.

8 • JULY 5, 2014 • UNION COUNTY Shopper news

Tension in the muscles of the neck is one of the leading causes of head-ache. And who among us is not without tension these days? Some studies show that close to 80 per-cent of people experience a tension headache.

The tension headache usually starts in the back of the head and then moves forward. Spinalma-nipulation, which is the trademark art of the chi-ropractor, has been shown to be effective in easing the discomfort of the ten-sion headache. The results of a Duke University study released in 2001 showed

that spinal manipulation brought almost immedi-ate improvement in head-aches that originated in the neck. The study also showed that manipulation carried with it fewer side effects and longer-lasting relief than did a medica-tion commonly prescribed in such cases.

Neck tension, of course, is not the only factor that can bring on a headache. Environmental triggers like loud noise and bright lights can cause headache. And about fi ve percent of all headaches are brought on by some other physical problem. One way to avoid

the tension headache is to get up and stretch every 30 minutes or so if your job or your lifestyle keeps you sedentary or sitting in one position for extended peri-ods. Periodically move your head and neck through a comfortable range of motion to prevent muscles from tightening up. If you are subject to headaches, talk with your chiropractor about ways to prevent them and treat them.

By Libby MorganDylan Berry, one of three

Union County High School 2014 valedictorians, is well on his way to becoming a Renaissance Man.

He welds. He hunts. He fi shes. He builds. He farms. He creates. He mows. He raises and trains dogs. He wires houses.

He plays guitar, banjo, harmonica, mandolin and “few little things on piano.” He’s a great conversational-ist. He aces academics. And he does it all with a smile.

Come August, he’ll be commuting to classes fi ve days a week at UT. He says he’s keeping his future op-tions open. His only prob-lem is going to be choosing from the many things he’s interested in and good at doing.

He fi nds satisfaction in his new job as a do-every-thing helper around Trinity Funeral Home in Maynard-ville, where he was hired in May. Dylan’s family is the Berry clan in Sharps Cha-pel, where his dad’s siblings live on sizeable parcels of a huge spread on Loop Road.

His mom Jeannie (Toll-iver, another Sharps Cha-pel family – and her great grandfather was the A.T. Cole) has been a teacher in Union County schools for 24 years, with a long stint at Big Ridge and at Sharps Chapel for the last 14 years.

She says, “You know the kids in a school that small. All the teachers know all of the students, and we notice any change in behavior.

“We’re close there. Dylan’s kindergarten teach-er, Ms. Eldridge, was my kindergarten teacher.”

Kaycee Roark, another 2014 valedictorian, and Dylan grew up together at Sharps Chapel, both with teacher /moms there.

“Kaycee and I kinda had to be valedictorians. We were threatened within an inch of our lives,” Dylan jokes. “With having a mom and a mamaw (Wilma Toll-iver) that were both teach-ers, I had to make straight A’s, and I had to want to learn!”

His favorite part of high school was in the trades wing, where he focused on agriculture.

“Matt McGinnis and John Fugate in the ag department are great. The whole depart-ment back there was a great place. We all worked togeth-er, along with the auto and building trades.

“But as far as having someone who was a good mentor for life, Danny Sat-terfi eld (science teacher) helped me with everything.

“You can’t describe the kind of person he is. He made me want to learn more about life and the way people are. He was a really

Ray Varner Ford sponsors ‘Survive it to Drive it’ giveaway

Halls guy Ray Varner has some strange inhabit-ants at Ray Varner Ford in Clinton.

In conjunction with WIVK Radio, the dealership is sponsoring a “Survive it to Drive it” promotion in which someone could win an F-150.

The fun s t a r t e d June 28 when 12 contestants were locked inside three Ford F-150 Super Crew T r u c k s

where they could live until July 19.

The 12 were selected from 154 qualifi ers. They will get a 15-minute break every three hours and will enjoy food from McDon-ald’s, Krispy Kreme, Papa Johns and Harrison’s.

The goal is to see who can

“survive” up to three weeks inside a truck.

The contest is reminis-cent of WIVK’s Mall Lock Up promotion done back in 2000 in which fi nalists lived inside a Glass House at East Towne Mall for their chance at cash prizes.

Scholarships from UT, Marathon Petroleum, and others have provided most of his college expenses, and he plans to stay on at Trinity and work as many hours as he can.

He’s leaning strongly to-ward majoring in animal sciences with a minor in music production, with in-terest in possibly going into cattle breeding, or maybe a career in music in Nashville.

And he’s hasn’t cancelled out the possibility of work-ing in the funeral business, or becoming an electrician.

He’s got time to decide.Dylan’s brother, Dalton,
