From staff reportsIn Farragut, it takes a “navy.”

With a small full-time paid staff and active community programs, the town depends on a host of vol-unteers to handle committees and bring much of the town’s business to the town administrator and Board of Mayor and Aldermen. Annually, the town accepts appli-cations to fi ll open slots on the 12 standing committees. The term of service on each varies, as does the number of committee members and whether or not they must be residents of the town of Farragut.

At the June 13 BOMA meeting, additions were made to 10 commit-tees. There were no changes pro-posed for the Board of Plumbing and Gas/Mechanical Examiners and the Farragut Municipal Plan-ning Commission committees.

Economic Development Committee: Reappointed fi ve members whose terms were expir-ing. The BOMA discussed expand-ing the committee because of com-munity interest in serving on it, which would require an amendment to the bylaws. Eleven applications were received for fi ve open slots. Re-appointed for additional two-year terms were Ginny McClain-Tate, R. Knick Myers, Phil Dangel, Naoko Blue and Jim Holladay.

Arts Council: Mary Agnes Schaefer and Sandra Dean were reappointed to two-year terms, and Mary Ellen Reda was ap-proved as a new member.

Beautifi cation Committee: Repointed to two-year terms were Claire Ansink, Gerry Gennoe, Kathy Pierre, Mabel Sumner and Marianne McGill.

Board of Zoning Appeals: Merton “Corky” Ives was reap-pointed to a fi ve-year term.

Farragut Folklife Museum Advisory Board: Reappointed to two-year terms were Libbie Haynes, Steve Stow, Carolyn Sin-clair, Louis LaMarche and Caro-lyn Coker.

Parks and Athletics Coun-cil: Appointed to two-year terms were current members Loretta Bradley and Ron Pinchok and new appointees Drew Carson and Tyler Mallison. Appointed to one-year terms were Sharon Martens and Michael Peters.

Personnel Committee: Re-gina Foy and Joseph DiMauro will join reappointed members Gary Schmitz and John Underwood to serve two-year terms.

Farragut/ Knox County

Schools Education Relations Committee: Michael Singletary and Mark Littleton were reap-pointed to two-year terms and will be joined by new two-year members Shyam Nair and Kristen Pennycuff-Trent.

Stormwater Advisory Com-mittee: Ed Whiting, the Munici-pal Planning Commission appoint-ment, and Violet Freudenberg were reappointed for two-year terms, and Joe Wolfe will join as a new member for a two-year term.

They praticed their golf swings at the Concord Par 3’s indoor facility. They enjoyed lunch at Lakeside Tavern and got a history lesson from columnist and historian Mal-colm Shell.

The day ended with a tour of WBIR-TV and a guest spot on “Live at Five at Four.”

By Betsy PickleSummer is a great time to

be outdoors, enjoying nature and having fun. And thanks to a summer art class offered by the town of Farragut, kids can enjoy nature and have fun indoors, too.

The town is offering a Kid’s Nature Painting Class at 9-11 a.m. Saturday, July 13, at the Farragut Town Hall, 11408 Munici-pal Center Drive. Instruc-tor Angela Polly will show kids ages 6 and up how art can begin with nature.

“It’s summer, so I wanted to do something that em-braces the season,” says Pol-ly, who began teaching art classes for children at the Town Hall about two years ago. “My favorite thing to do in the summer is to go hik-ing, and when you go hiking you see all kinds of beautiful things in nature.”

Polly will bring that in-sight to her class, encourag-ing the participants to look at nature and think of cer-tain shapes and forms. “I’m going to take them on a little hike and have them collect things that they respond to,

and then we’ll use those ob-jects to make a piece of art. I want to show them how you can be inspired by some-thing and then turn it into a piece of art.”

Polly, 30, grew up in the suburbs of Charlotte, N.C., but she was able to escape to nature regularly. “I re-member playing a lot in the woods as a kid,” she says. “There were a bunch of woods behind my cousin’s house, and we would go out there and just spend the en-tire day walking around and playing and fi nding things.”

From an early age, she expressed herself through drawing, and she majored in fi ne art, with a concentra-tion on painting and sculp-ture, at the University of North Carolina at Asheville.

After college, she moved to East Tennessee and even-tually ended up working at the nonprofi t Girls Inc. in Oak Ridge. She was a pro-gram specialist teaching a national curriculum, but she also directed art proj-ects and workshops with the girls.

creating a masterpiece – it wasn’t about that, it was about the experience,” she says. “Their experi-ences with the art that I would teach them made them open up. They got to know each other, they got to know themselves, and I think it helped them ex-press themselves.”

Polly, whose day job

now has her working for a contractor, doesn’t have long-term interaction with the kids in her Farragut classes, but she does get a lot of repeat students.

“I always really enjoy getting to know their lit-tle personalities and their individual characters,” she

She is the watchdog of town development’s rules and regu-lations, and Ruth Hawk watches projects like a… hawk. As community development director for the town of Farragut, Ruth says she is charged with helping people see how every project that happens in Farragut is interconnected.

“I feel like our offi ce is the one that helps people see the bigger picture and teaches people how the process works and why we have rules and guidelines,” says Ruth. “Everybody has his or her own perspective, especially when involved in something that means something to them – either personally or economically. We try to get people to look beyond and see how everything needs to work together.”

As an example, Ruth cited a hypothetical business and its own parking lot. “But if there is no connection to the devel-opment next door, no way to walk or drive to get around, it won’t be as successful. The same goes with parks and walking trails. We have many beautiful spots in Farragut, but trails and parks need to be near where people are.”

Ruth says the attitude toward walking trails in the town has changed. “When I fi rst came to Farragut, it was a chal-lenge to get someone to do a little walking trail. The other day, I had a developer tell me that if he had known how much people loved walking trails, he would have skipped the swim-ming pool and done more trails.”

Ruth grew up on a dairy farm in central Wisconsin and learned to love the land at an early age. She came to Knoxville in 1983 to get her master’s degree from the University of Ten-nessee. “I always loved the land. I was an intern for a plan-ning commission and really enjoyed the work.”

Her work with the town’s walking trails has been especial-ly satisfying for her, she says. “I think the connecting of the walking trails has been the one single project that has gener-ated the most goodwill and positive feelings from the pub-lic,” says Ruth. “It was like a jigsaw puzzle of walking trails that the town pulled together. When the town went in with the Grigsby Chapel trail and started putting it all together, one piece at a time, it was beautiful. We had Anchor Park, but Grigsby Chapel was the fi rst one that connected a lot of neighborhoods that weren’t connected before.”

Good development makes good economic sense as well, says Ruth. “It is fun to see things come to fruition that you have seen from the concept up. Everything starts with an idea. Getting things done correctly is the role of everyone who works on the community development staff. We are responsi-ble for seeing that things are constructed according to the or-dinances and the way the Board of Mayor and Aldermen and

the town has determined it should be. No one likes to be a ‘bad guy,’ but things need to be done correctly. It is better for everyone in the long run.”

The question often seems to be “is it good for busi-ness?” when what should be asked is “is it good for the people?” says Ruth. “That is where the balance comes in, and that is our responsi-bility as town planners. We deal with people’s quality of life all the time. Landscap-ing, signs, walking trails – it’s all about quality of life, and it makes a difference. That is what the staff and I are charged with: Ensur-ing the quality of life right here.”

Helping her leave stress at the offi ce is “a wonderful blend-ed family that is so important to me,” says Ruth. “Dan and I spend a lot of time with family. We are very close to Dan’s family – my mother-in-law recently passed away – and we travel to see family as often as possible. We also like to hike, bicycle and explore the back roads.” She and Dan have been married 25 years.

Sit and have a Coffee Break as you get to know Ruth Hawk:

What is your favorite quote from TV or a movie?“All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men

to do nothing.” - Edmund Burke, but I heard it on “NCIS!”

What are you guilty of?Chocolate – I love it!

What is your favorite material possession?Family photos – old, new and all the ones in between

What are you reading currently?I like reading mysteries, but I’m in between books

right now.

What was your most embarrassing moment? As a kid, I was in 4-H, and my Mom was one of the

leaders. She felt it was important for me to learn public speaking, so she made me do demonstration projects and participate in plays. I was the lead in one play, play-ing the role of “Scotty the Dog.” Let’s just say that acting is not my gift and leave it at that!”

What are the top three things on your bucket list? 1. Drive across America through as many small towns

as possible.2. Travel to Alaska.3. Travel to New Zealand and Australia.

What is one word others often use to describe you and why?

I polled my co-workers on this one. They chose “dedi-cated,” but “workaholic” and “determined” were brought up, too. I guess that is self-explanatory.

If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?

I would be a better communicator with the people I love. I’m sort of communicated out at the end of most work days, and my family pays the price for that.

What is your passion? I love what I do. Years from now, what I do today will

be an integral part of people’s lives. How cool is that? For example, I am very proud of the walking trail system in Farragut, and I have been a big part of making that happen.

With whom, living or dead, would you most like to have a long lunch?

My Dad. He passed away when I was 5 years old, and I would love to meet him.

Other than your parents, who has had the biggest infl u-ence on your life and why?

My mother- and father-in-law. Their love and attitude has created the most amazing blended family that I am so blessed to be a part of.

I still can’t quite get the hang of … Eating healthy. Seriously, ice cream should be in the

food pyramid.

What is the best present you ever received in a box?A letter telling me that I was going to have a niece.

What is the best advice your mother ever gave you?“…and whoever said life was fair?” As I have learned,

that is reality.

What is your social media of choice? Talking with people face-to-face or on the phone.

What is the worst job you have ever had?Pulling weeds in the ginseng patches in Wisconsin. Few

people know this, but the county where I grew up is the No. 1 producer of American ginseng in the country. It is a crop that takes four years to grow. That’s a lot of weeds…

What was your favorite Saturday morning cartoon and why?

“Johnny Quest,” because he traveled everywhere help-ing other people.

What irritates you?People who are not truthful.

What’s one place in Farragut everyone should visit?The Montgomery Walking Trail. I have a “black

thumb,” but I do my duty as a weed-puller for the gar-dens. We need more. Call the town of Farragut and sign up.

What is your greatest fear? Heights.

If you could do one impulsive thing, what would it be? Just pack up and take off to explore the back roads of

the United States.

says. “Some of them are very focused, and some of them think very abstractly. I just appreciate all of their differences.”

Polly teaches about one class each season, and she chooses the theme. “If it’s close to a holiday then I’ll try to think of something that refl ects that season,” she says.

Some of her most popu-lar classes have been mask- making and using duct tape. She taught a tie-dye class this spring.

“It is kind of funny be-cause every single class that I’ve ever taught (at the Town Hall), I’ve had an adult ask me if they could sign up for the classes,” she says. “They want to take them, too.”

Polly says her young stu-dents don’t slack off in the summertime.

“The kids come in, and

they’re very eager,” she says. “They’re very inter-ested. They’ve read about this class, and they’re ex-cited and they want to learn. I think that it’s my job to keep it age appropri-ate and engaging enough to make them have a really good class but also come away from the class with something they want to keep and something they want to show people. As long as I’m doing my job in trying to make class excit-ing and interesting, they always do really well with it.”

The nature painting class costs $15 and is limited to 20 students. For info and to register, call 865-966-7057. The registration deadline is Friday, July 12.

City Council members Nick Pavlis, Duane Grieve and Brenda Palmer will not be opposed for re-election this year. Nick Della Volpe and Daniel Brown will.

All fi ve incumbents are seeking second terms, and it was down to the wire last week as to whether any of them would have opposi-tion. In fact, things stayed so quiet that Election Com-mission offi cials were won-dering if they’d have to set up early voting.

The uncertainty was set-tled when qualifying peti-tions from two challengers – Rick Staples, who will op-pose Della Volpe in the 4th District, and Charles “Pete” Drew, who will run against Daniel Brown in the 6th District – were validated. So early voting will proceed as usual – probably.

“We’d been waiting with bated breath,” said elections administrator Cliff Rodgers. “If we’d had no opposition, we’d have no early voting.

Thin fi eld for City Council

ter. At right is Brown’s wife, Cathy. In the background is city

Rick Staples

This has been a bizarre one, and now we’ll wait for the can-didate withdrawal deadline.”

Della Volpe could have two primary opponents if Carl H. Landsden, who didn’t have enough signatures on his petition, follows through with his application to run a write-in campaign. (Causing one to wonder how a guy who

couldn’t fi nd 25 voters to sign his pe-tition could expect to win a write-in.)

S t aple s , h o w e v e r , could run a vigorous

campaign. He’s an employee of the Knox County Sheriff’s

Offi ce in the Programs Divi-sion under Chief Pete Garza.

A 1988 Holston High School graduate, Staples left college at Tennessee State when his father was diagnosed with cancer. He later attended the Univer-sity of Tennessee majoring in religious studies and so-ciology. He is a member of 100 Black Men of Greater Knoxville Inc., an organi-zation that mentors young men who come from tough environments. He is an ac-tive member of New Hope Baptist Church and vice chair of education with the District Youth Council of the African American Mis-sionary Baptist Church and a resident of the Alice Bell community.

Pete Drew has run for offi ce so much that an ac-curate count of the number of times he’s been a candi-date is nigh impossible. He is a former Knox County commissioner and held the District 15 state House seat

for 8 years. He served as a Democrat from 1982-86 and as a Republican from 1986-88, when he was de-feated in the General Elec-tion by Joe Armstrong.

Drew moved to Nashville in 1990 to become a lobbyist for Tennessee Right to Life and then to Chattanooga in 1993, where he ran un-successfully for Hamilton County Commission and for the state house. Since re-turning to Knoxville, he has run, also unsuccessfully, for county commission and the state Legislature.

Anthony Hancock picked up a petition to run against Grieve in District 2, but did not return it.

The deadline to drop out is noon Thursday, June 27. The deadline to register to vote is Aug. 26. If the chal-lengers and/or a write-in re-main in the race, early vot-ing will begin Sept. 4. The primary election is Sept. 24, and the general election is Nov. 5.

West Knox developer John Turley has been up-set over the city’s recent installation of a traffi c camera on Parkside Road at its intersection with Lovell Road at the Turkey Creek development. This is at the eastern entrance to Turkey Creek and only one camera at present is positioned to catch cars turning left onto Lovell from Parkside.

Three poles have been erected for one camera, which has marred the visual look of the well-man-icured entrance into the most successful shopping area within the corporate limits of Knoxville. In fact, an additional wooden pole has been erected where three poles already stand, creating pole congestion.

However, Turley has proven one can infl uence city hall to back off an un-wise and poorly conceived idea.

In fact, Turley, through Turkey Creek Land Part-ners, spends $150,000 a year on maintaining the medians inside Turkey Creek. At a time when the city and council are strug-gling to enact a stricter sign ordinance, it seems odd, if not inconsistent, that the city is the sponsor of such an ugly scene with the main reason being revenue. This writer visited the site at Turley’s invitation and was surprised to see what had happened.

Turley contacted Council member Duane Grieve who sent a strong email urging city offi cials to back off.

In a June 5 email to Mayor Rogero, Deputy May-ors Bill Lyons and Christi Branscom, and Police Chief David Rausch, Grieve wrote: “Folks, the city needs to im-mediately correct the situ-ation we have caused at the entrance to Turkey Creek!!! (his emphasis).

“After much time and considerable cost, the de-veloper (Turley) has spent to move the utility poles and upgrade on traffi c light supports, we (the city) have gone and erected a wooden pole for an electric meter for a traffi c camera and added two poles for the camera with an exposed line across the lanes of traffi c. ... It is amazing with what we are asking our de-velopers to do and then we, the city, erect something like this. ... We, the city, need to practice what we expect others to do. Do let me know when this will be taken care of and who will see the line is put under-ground.”

Pole congestion at Turkey Creek

To the city’s credit and as proof protest can work, especially if you have a council member leading the way, Branscom in a June 14 email to Turley said the line would be placed under-ground and the extra poles removed.

All sides deserve con-gratulations for raising the issue of the eyesore and then taking remedial steps to correct it.

Turkey Creek has been a fi nancial cash cow for the city with literally millions of dollars in sales and prop-erty taxes generated an-nually due to its voluntary annexation 18 years ago.

■ Council elections in September and November will generate slight interest and low voter turnout (less than 10 percent) should be expected. Right now all fi ve incumbents are likely to win re-election to their second and fi nal term on council. No incumbent for mayor or council has lost re-election since term lim-its were adopted.

■ St. John’s Episcopal Church won a victory at MPC after suffering a set-back in its quest to demolish the buildings at 710 and 712 Walnut Street a few weeks ago when the Downtown Design Review Board by a 3-2 vote turned down their request. However, MPC unanimously approved the demolition. The matter can go to City Council if ap-pealed from MPC by Knox Heritage.

This is the type of issue which City Council dislikes as it pits historic pres-ervationists against the majority membership of St. John’s, which includes some of Knoxville’s most prominent citizens. Council members feel however they vote they will alien-ate important voices in the community.

And fi ve of them are run-ning for re-election this fall.

Council member Duane Grieve will be a member to watch closely as he is an ar-chitect, has well-articulated views and has often aligned himself with historic pres-ervation. He has not stated his views publicly. Council members will watch his vote carefully and could be infl uenced by it if the issue goes to City Council.

Old people worry about kids. Will they be smart enough and tough enough to carry on? Many would answer no.

Last week (as we write on pages 8-9 in excruciating detail) we visited the Far-ragut Folklife Museum with Malcolm Shell and 12 teens.

Eyes widened when Shell told about the town’s namesake, Admiral David Glasgow Farragut, who was commissioned in the U.S. Navy at age 9 and by 12 was put in charge of getting a captured merchant ship back to harbor.

“Those sailors probably thought they would toss that boy overboard and be on their way,” Shell said, “but Farragut brought the ship to port.”

A painting shows Farra-gut directing a battle from high atop his ship’s mast. Sailors had to scurry up and down the pole t o transmit orders, Shell said. It’s no

Strong enough

wonder Farragut became the Navy’s fi rst admiral.

He was born at what was then called Campbell Station (now Farragut) and lived to be 69.

His most memorable quote: “Damn the torpe-does. Full steam ahead!”

We saw a torpedo (a small explosive with air pockets on either side). Shell said the British had seeded a mine-fi eld with them. A torpedo blew up under a ship, sink-ing it “in about 20 seconds.” The other ships looked to Farragut for direction: “Full steam (speed) ahead!”

Ships communicated by

fl ags in the pre-radio era. The “fl agship” went fi rst and passed messages down the line. Several fl ags are at the Farragut Museum. I could have spent the day.

Campbell Station: Most know it as an exit off I-40. But two years before George Washington was sworn in as president, Eu-ropean settlers had built homes at Campbell Sta-tion. Their name: Campbell. (Shell said settlers to the east were named Love; thus, Lovell Road.)

Natives were not happy about the intrusion and a couple of Cherokee and Creek chiefs organized a war party of 2,000, march-ing from the Chattanooga area toward Knoxville (then called White’s Fort). It marched past the forti-fi ed Campbell Station at night, with neither the In-dians nor the settlers aware of the others’ presence. The Indians massacred settlers at Cavett’s Station (near Walker Springs) and the 11 families of Campbell’s Sta-tion took a vote.

Would they stay and fi ght, should the Indians return, or would they fl ee? The vote was unanimous. The Campbells and their neighbors stayed. And the Indians returned home an-other way.

Eleven families against 2,000 warriors. Back in the car, I asked two interns: Would you have been strong enough to vote yes?

Both answered no.I didn’t argue with them,

but I disagree. Nobody to-day is asked to fi ght Indians. But we are called to fi ght for what’s important and to defend what’s ours. Those folks at Campbell Station had walked into a wilder-ness to build a home and community. Of course, they would stand and fi ght.

And so would my interns.They’re strong enough

to protect their families, to defend what’s theirs and to lead our community.

They would fi ght, too, if necessary. But it might be as Gibson Calfee said, “From headquarters, directing a drone.”

while Shopper intern Paul Brooks, at left, ponders the sto-

ry. The Farragut Folklife Museum has a great exhibit about

both Farragut and the Civil War Battle of Campbell Station.

“Success starts with a dream, and a chance for those dreams to come true.”

Appearing before the Farragut Municipal Plan-ning Commission for the third straight month proved to hold some charm for Kay Wellons. After a lengthy discussion, com-missioners granted a con-sensus opinion that lets Wellons begin to market her family’s property.

The family farm of 30.5 acres lies on the east side of Campbell Station Road, north of the Holiday Inn Express. Wellons has rep-resented the family’s in-terests at meetings and has been working with as-sistant town administra-tor Gary Palmer to devise a plan for developing the property. Currently zoned R-2, she would like to see it zoned for mixed use, but that runs contrary to the town’s Comprehen-sive Land Use Plan. The comprehensive plan has the property labeled Open Space Cluster Residential.

While not a vote, the action taken at the June 20 meeting is a prelude to most likely changing the Future Land Use Map for that piece of property. As Mayor Ralph McGill noted, the plan is meant to be a guide and not something written in stone. If com-missioners vote to change the land use, Wellons will have to come back to seek rezoning once she finds a developer.

Commissioner Noah Myers said he could see commercial use for about 8 acres of the property fronting the road. Wel-lons envisions a small strip mall of niche shops tailored to tourists. Myers added, however, that Wel-lons might get more money for the land if someone were interested in build-ing multi-family units like apartments. If granted a mixed-use status, Wellons would like to see commer-cial in the front and multi-family housing behind that. The majority of the property would be left for open space or recreational use. Much of it is too steep for development.

The commission also got an overview of plans for the town’s outdoor class-room on Campbell Sta-tion Road near the back of Farragut High School. Stormwater coordinator Jason Scott explained that the interactive space is in-tended not only for use by area students, but also by the community at large. He hopes to hear ideas for the space from residents. Scott

Gary McGill of McGill Associates makes a point during a presentation of plans for the outdoor

classroom on Campbell Station Road. Also speaking were Jim Ford of McGill Associates and

Jason Scott, Farragut’s stormwater coordinator and the project’s visionary.

said he is looking for addi-tional funding and hopes to break ground on the project in the fall.

Gary McGill and Jim Ford with McGill Associ-ates, the design firm for the project, also spoke about the classroom plans. Ford addressed some issues that came up in a recent work-shop session about park-ing. “There will be a park-ing area with a few spaces, handicapped parking and a place for buses to park,” he said.

“The main focus is on hydrology and how we deal with runoff and develop-ment,” he said of the space.

Some answers include permeable pavers, a rain garden that filters water and a rainwater collection system to provide water for plant projects. There will be a 20-by-40 foot covered shelter to serve as a class-room. Unlike shelters in town parks, the classroom will not be for rent. Walk-ways will connect to new and existing greenways.

Commissioners wel-comed the group’s newest member, Louise Povlin, to her first meeting. She was named to succeed Melis-sa Mustard who recently resigned. Povlin owns Anytime Fitness and is a resident of Fox Run sub-division. A runner, she has been a big supporter of the town’s greenways program

and has pushed for a major overhaul of Everett Road.

Ed Whiting was reap-pointed to the Stormwa-ter Advisory Committee where he currently serves as chair.

Also on the agenda: ■ Approved final plat

plans for Villas at Anchor Park, Phase I.

■ Approved a site plan for Panda Express, 11482 Parkside Drive, between JCPenney and Tennessee State Bank.

■ Approved a prelimi-nary plat for Sheffield sub-

division, Unit 2. Develop-ers agreed to work around an area with a sinkhole by shaving a few feet off a couple of deep lots in that section as well as one in Unit 3.

■ Approved an amend-ment to the Farragut sub-division regulations tied into another recent ac-tion taken because of new flood standards for Turkey Creek and North Fork Tur-key Creek. The vote makes it possible to update the Flood Insurance Rate Map.

A request by Eddie

Kherani, owner of the Marathon gas station, was voted down. Kherani said that because of the Snyder Road/Outlet Drive realign-ment project, a section of right-of-way adjacent to his property is no longer in use. He requested that the closed right-of-way be given to him. Commission-ers balked at that request, saying they have no idea what development might happen in the future and such action would be pre-mature.

The next day (John) saw Jesus coming toward him and declared, “Here is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!”

(John 1: 29 NRSV)

A picture sits on my desk, a place of honor that it has occupied, one way and another, since 1977. It is a black and white photo that appeared on the front page of the small daily newspaper in the southern West Virginia town where I lived and worked for eight years. The photo it-self was taken by a friend, and when I went on and on about it, he gave me the original. Over the years, in various offices, many peo-

ple have asked me about it.The central figure in

the picture is a lamb. He is standing inside a large metal pipe that is bent and misshapen, but its dark interior is the perfect foil for the lamb’s white f leece. There are barren, stalky weeds growing sparsely in the foreground, catching the light: a nice accent to the darkness of the pipe. Beyond the lamb and the pipe, in the distance, other sheep graze placidly.

The lamb is looking straight at the camera, with more interest than fear, I think.

I have always had lots of pictures, books and im-portant (to me) pieces of memorabilia in my office. Nothing, however, has sparked as much curiosity as my lamb. Many people have commented on it, asked about it, admired it.

When I look at it, I usu-ally see just a lamb. Oc-casionally, though, I see

God’s LambGod’s Lamb, and the whole picture looks different to me. It becomes a parable.

When I see God’s Lamb, I see the unconcern of the oth-er sheep, the ewes and rams in the background who seem oblivious to the human who is standing in their fi eld tak-ing a picture of some mama sheep’s baby. That is when I see the lamb as vulnerable, alone, isolated.

There are times in Scrip-ture when Jesus – God’s Lamb – is like that little lamb in the old, beaten-up pipe: vulnerable, alone, isolated. Just like the other sheep in the photograph, the others – Jesus’ friends and followers – were un-aware of the danger gath-ering around him, unable to understand that he was

a marked man. When John the Baptizer called him God’s Lamb, did no one make the leap to “sacri-ficial lamb”? Sacrifice of lambs was part of Temple worship!

How the disciples could miss the storm clouds is beyond me, but that is 21 centuries of hindsight, I suppose.

But there is another as-pect of lambs that gives us a different view of God’s lamb, a happier view.

Last year, in the early spring, my daughter Jor-dan and I had occasion to visit the Biltmore House in Asheville. The tour in-cluded the vast grounds, including the barnyards.

There, we saw young lambs cavorting, running at

full tilt and leaping onto the top of a pen, then bounding off to make another run at it, from a different angle. They moved as if they had springs on the ends of their legs! They were clearly hav-ing more fun than the tour-ists. We watched them with delight, enjoying their exu-berant play and laughing at their antics.

It was after that experi-ence that I began to wonder how anyone who had been a shepherd – who had seen such frolicking – could ever sacrifi ce one of those de-lightful creatures.

In much the same way, I wonder how anyone who had met Jesus face to face could have failed to see him for what he was: God’s own Lamb, the Savior of the world.

Children with orange interests and undoubtedly high IQs were frolicking in their forum sandbox. Surprisingly, they got semiserious long enough to conduct an informal poll – to determine the greatest ever football Volunteer.

Of course Peyton Man-ning won. Most of the vot-ers had heard of him. Some even remembered his claim to fame, halfway up a ladder, leading the Pride of the Southland band.

Others see him on TV from time to time, in Papa John’s and Buick commer-cials. Some realize he still throws passes and sets re-cords, even at an advanced age.

It was a landslide elec-

Greatest ever Volunteer

tion but there were other worthy choices – Reggie White, Doug Atkins, Dale Carter, Eric Berry, Al Wil-son, Leonard Little, John Henderson and Carl Pick-ens. At one time or anoth-er, all played well.

You do see where I am going? The tailbacks were missing from the ballot. John Majors, Hank Lauri-cella, Gene McEver, Beat-

tie Feathers and George Cafego are in the College Football Hall of Fame.

So is Bob Johnson. He was superb but center isn’t a very glamorous position. Linebacker Steve Kiner is in the Hall. He was out-standing. End Bowden Wy-att was a rare one, Hall of Fame honoree as end and coach.

Many great ones merit consideration. Quarter-back Condredge Holloway was at least amazing. Ten-nessee wideouts were like wild geese. They could re-ally f ly.

Understandably, most of the children have never heard of the greatest guard in Tennessee football his-tory. Bob Suffridge, born

in Union County, raised in Fountain City, was pointed in the general direction of maturity while at Cen-tral High School. Here is a clue regarding talent: The Bobcats of his time won 33 in a row. He was only 180 pounds but quick and powerful and fiercely de-termined. He supposedly blocked 29 punts!

Suffridge became Ten-nessee’s only three-time all-American.

Three times honored.Only. Ever.As a UT senior, in street

smarts if not academic achievement, he won the Knute Rockne Memorial Trophy as America’s line-man of the year. Believe it or not, he finished fourth in Heisman voting. In 1950, the Football Writers of America put Suffridge

on their first all-time team.Robert R. Neyland,

the general and coach for whom the stadium is named, said Suffridge was the greatest lineman he ever saw.

As at Central High, good things happened in the Suffridge era at Ten-nessee. The Volunteers won 32 consecutive reg-ular-season games. The Flamin’ Sophomores and the 1938 team went 11-0. The 1939 team didn’t per-mit a point.

Wait, I remember now, that team lost in the Rose Bowl. Suffridge was gimpy and Cafego was really hurt. Southern Cal won, 14-0.

In 1940, Suffridge and the then veteran Vols went 10-0 but lost to Boston College in the Sugar Bowl. There were no valid ex-cuses. Bob was ticked. He

didn’t have much experi-ence in losing.

On page 18 in my second book, “Legends of the Ten-nessee Volunteers,” I said: “The proven formula for football fame is one part talent, one part toughness, at least a pinch of smarts and a burning desire to succeed. ... Bob Suffridge was richly blessed. He had more than enough of ev-erything.

“From a humble be-ginning, he fought and scratched every step of the way to the very tip of the mountaintop…. The multi-tudes cheered.”

In this Butch Jones era of renewed respect for tradition, I say we should conduct another “great-est” poll and erect a Bob Suffridge statue. OK to put Peyton in bronze, too.Marvin West invites reader reaction. His

SSoutheastoutheastTERMITE AND PEST CONTROL

Rated A+

By Ashley BakerDani Bruno always dreamed of being a mother, but the

road to reality would not be an easy one for her.After falling in love at college, Joey and Dani Bruno

were wed in December 2010. Shortly after their beautiful winter wedding, the happy couple decided they were inter-ested in having children. A pregnancy followed, but they lost the baby to a miscarriage at seven weeks.

Dani says she remembers the tears and despair as she had to say goodbye to her little one, and she and Joey began again. Soon Dani was pregnant. “I found out I was preg-nant on March 24, 2012, and everything looked was good,” said Dani. “We were so excited!”

At just over six weeks, however, Dani began to show signs of another miscarriage and was rushed to the doc-tor for an ultrasound. “We should have been able to see a heartbeat by then,” Dani said. Instead, the doctors could fi nd no signs of a pregnancy. Ultrasound technologist Tina Harris found a collection of fl uid adjacent to the sac, but it showed no signs of a baby.

“These fl uid collections can be associated with an in-creased risk of miscarriage,” Harris said, “especially if it is larger than 50 percent of the size of the gestational sac, which was the case with Dani’s ultrasound.”

“There was no baby,” Dani said. “We had lost another one.”

The doctor asked Dani to undergo several blood tests in hopes that future pregnancies would be sustainable. “They told me that it probably would not help for this pregnancy because it was too late, but it would give some answers for the next one,” Dani said. “And this gave us hope for a future baby.”

Dani and Joey said their faith in God kicked in as they left the doctor’s offi ce that day. “We decided that we had praised God in the good times, so we would praise him in the hard times as well. The Lord is still good,” Dani said. “On the way home, we decided that we would praise the Lord even in our despair and that our faith wasn’t contin-gent on having a baby.”

Family and friends surrounded the couple in prayer. Leon and Sharon Dupeire, Dani’s grandparents, were so concerned that they fl ew in from Arizona to be with the Brunos. “They walked through it with me,” Dani said.

Two days later, in early April 2012, Joey and Dani found themselves in the ultrasound room waiting for a confi rma-tion that the baby was gone. “I didn’t mourn without hope,” Dani said. “The Lord knew what was going on. And we kept praying.”

The ultrasound machine displayed nothing short of a miracle. The Brunos saw their six and a half week old em-bryo and heard a healthy heartbeat. “Dani’s second ultra-sound revealed a defi nite gestational sac, a yolk sac and a fetal pole with cardiac activity – 105 beats per minute,” said Harris. “This was very promising.”

The promise was fulfi lled as Dani carried the baby to full term. On November 15, 2012, Dani and Joey welcomed 6 lb. 3 oz. Joseph Vincent Bruno III into the world. “His name literally means ‘more than a conqueror,’” Dani said, smiling. “We all had to be more than conquerors.”

Dani said that as she cuddled her baby on delivery day, she remembered how the Lord had worked powerfully in her life. Through this little life that she now held in her arms, she found God to be a miracle worker. “He saves lives,” Dani said.

“I can only imagine how diffi cult waiting was for Dani,” said Harris. “Thankfully, everything went well during the remainder of her pregnancy. I believe all pregnancies are miracles and gifts from God.”

The Bruno family includes Joey, Dani and their “miracle baby”

Vincent.

Faith through bad times leads to renewed hope

Double the fun at joint VBSBy Suzanne Foree NealWhen it comes to vaca-

tion Bible school, a couple of Farragut churches decided to get neighborly and com-bine their efforts for a whole week of fun. At the week’s end, 119 children had par-ticipated.

Farragut Presbyte-rian and Faith Lutheran churches sit side-by-side on Jamestowne Boulevard, so organizers thought the joint effort was a natural.

Most days the weather co-operated long enough to have some fun in the sun. One of the favorite ac-tivities for the young Bible schoolers was a visual of the cleansing of the temple. Red plastic cups were the idols, which the energetic kindergartners thorough-ly crushed. Piles of gray wadded-up paper served as rubble, which the young-sters collected and cleared from the temple.

Daily craft projects were used to reinforce Bible sto-ries. Snack time was always a hit as were various science projects, especially the les-son on secret messages that used a black light to reveal messages written on their hands.

Adults and children alike enjoyed the experiment. Ka-tina Sharp, one of the orga-nizers, said it was also a way for children to learn about another faith.

Farragut play dayShopper interns carry on despite fl ooding rain

By Sara BarrettA morning outdoors was

scheduled for the third meeting of the Shopper News interns, but Mother Nature threw us a curve ball – or maybe it was a golf ball – and poured rain on the first half of the day. This didn’t deter the group from learning the ins and

outs of golf at Concord Park Par 3, and the rain only made for scenic enter-tainment during lunch at Lakeside Tavern.

After lunch, a visit to the Farragut Folklife Museum with local historian Mal-colm Shell shed light on the history of the town and its role in the Civil War.

The group continued with a stop in historic Concord to see the Chota No. 253 Masonic Lodge, its adjacent Concord Masonic Cemetery and the Olde Concord Gal-lery. Finishing the day with a trip to WBIR studios for “Live at Five at Four” topped off our adventures with a hole-in-one.

described his experience of learning about his son Jo-seph’s death in the war only after taking the message from a wire transmission.

Other points of interests were personal belongings of Admiral David Glasgow

A ‘snag’ in golfi ngBy Taylor Smith

Last week we visited Concord Park Par 3. Man-ager Tony Valentine and advanced golfers Tucker Roof and Keeton Susong from Bearden High School showed us the basics.

With beginners and/or children, they start with the Starting New at Golf club (SNAG). Roof claims he gets

many “baseball” like swings, and that is why they use the SNAG equipment before switching to a more profes-sional club, “The Putter.”

As interns, we haven’t had much experience; therefore, we stuck with the SNAG club.

Players must remem-ber to show respect and honesty while playing, we learned.

By Josh ModeThe interns were treated

to a stop at the beautiful Lakeside Tavern in Con-cord Park near the water. I had never been there be-fore, so I was glad to walk in the tall doors and see class and elegance, but nothing so fancy that you couldn’t be comfortable.

We got our seats and received our menus and bread. After we ordered our food, we had some small talk and were able to talk a little to our guests Malcolm (the local historian) and Jewel Shell. They told some exciting stories about early Farragut and asked us what we wanted to be when we grew up.

When they served us our meals, our eyes lit up! I had ordered fi sh and chips, and it was delicious.

The scenery was almost as amazing as the food! I could look out the giant glass walls and see the mys-tifying lake and the grand yachts. We ate till our stom-achs could hold no more, and we got to bond a little in the process.

All I can say on behalf of every intern is this: if you want to eat somewhere that treats you well with a vari-ety of food, then you should defi nitely head down to Lakeside Tavern in Concord

Park today!

Concord Park Par 3

Concord Park Par 3 on Northshore Drive has been open since 1964 and is op-erated and managed by the Knox Area Junior Golf As-sociation.

Keeton Susong said he learned “the old way.

“Golf is a lot harder than

other sports, and I’ve played just about everything.”

KAJGA board member Larry Martin said the course is a great way for the entire family to become active to-gether and usually only takes about an hour and 10 min-utes to play through, depend-

ing on the number of players. “Just in time to fi nish and get home before the UT game starts on ESPN,” said Martin.

Summer camp is of-fered for children ages 6-17 Tuesday, June 25, through Wednesday, Aug. 7. Info: 966-9103.

Driving through old Concord

By Jackson BrantleyThe Battle of Campbell

Station was part of the Knoxville campaign of the American Civil War which occurred on Nov. 16, 1863, at Campbell Station (now known as Farragut).

Leading the battle were Confederate Lt. Gen. James Longstreet and the Union

Gen. Ambrose E. Burnside. Burnside’s plan was to reach the crossroads fi rst and move on in to Knoxville, while Longstreet planned to cut him off and hold the cross-roads to prevent Burnside from reaching Knoxville.

On Nov. 16, Burnside reached the crossroads af-ter a long march in the rain.

Just 15 minutes behind were Longstreet’s forces. The troops were tired, hungry and cold, but after the fi ght-ing had ended, the Union was victorious.

More information can be found at the Farragut Folklife Museum at Farra-gut’s town hall. Info: www.townoffarragut.org.

By Mitchell ZavadilBeing an upcoming

sophomore at Farragut High School, it amazes me to see the spectacular history of FHS at the Far-ragut Folklife Museum. Farragut High was built in 1904 but burned down in 1906. The school was then rebuilt with brick. Additional improvements would eventually include a baseball fi eld, and an auditorium that was add-ed in 1938.

moment to imagine how the students in 1938 felt. There is a chair in the museum from the origi-nal auditorium.

One of the school’s proudest moments was a visit from Ronald Rea-gan. The former presi-dent chose Farragut High School as one of only five schools in the country he would visit on a tour during his presidency.

A photo shows Rea-gan with then-principal James Bellamy and then-superintendent Earl Hoffmeister.

The Masonic lodge and cemetery

Olde Concord Gallery

By Paul BrooksThe Shopper interns

visited Concord Masonic Cemetery where we found many families represented among the graves.

Interestingly, the Chota No. 253 Masonic Lodge is

located at the side of the cemetery. The lodge was built in 1729, making it ap-proximately 284 years old. While we didn’t go inside the lodge itself, we did meander through the cemetery and read a few headstones.

A movie was shot in front of it, too. Gallery owner Janice Valentine also does

custom framing. I would recommend Olde Concord Gallery to everyone.

Once an Alabama Crim-son Tide fan, local celebrity Russell Biven now bleeds orange. The co-anchor of “Live at Five at Four” has been all across the South broadcasting and reporting for different newscasts.

Biven graduated from the University of Alabama with a major in business. He started his career as a production assistant in the sports department at CNN

in 1991 and worked his way up to writing and produc-ing segments for Sports Il-lustrated. By 1997, he was promoted to CNN Headline Sports anchor.

Biven came to Knox-ville in 1999 to be a news anchor with the WBIR Channel 10 News Team. He loves his job because of the rich stories he gets to tell, the amazing people he meets and all of the people on the set.

Biven not only makes his job look easy, but he makes it fun for everyone around him. His quick wit and ability to let things roll off his back help when the microphone isn’t work-ing, no words are on the prompter, or he’s having to listen to people talk to him through an earpiece while he is talking.

Perhaps “Live at Five at Four should be called “Live-ly Russell Biven at Four.”

Madeline Lonas interviews Russell Biven on the set during a break.

More from Sara:The interns were treated

wonderfully at WBIR studios and made an appearance on “Live at Five at Four.” Todd Howell, Russell Biven and their cohorts welcomed the gang with open arms and answered questions between segments. A joyous time was had by all (including the camera operators).

Jim Bellamy: difference-makerFarragut principal remembered

By Sandra ClarkJim Bellamy could have been a co-

median. He taught American history at Powell High School from 1952-66 and was principal at Farragut High School for 24 years, serving until his retirement in 1990.

Along the way, he was president of the Knox County Education Associa-tion and president of the Knox County Teachers Credit Union. Jim’s wife, Anna Bellamy, retired as vocational supervisor for Knox County Schools.

Following his death in 2008, nu-merous former students wrote to praise him. They used words like “com-passionate, dedicated, great leader, ut-most respect, mentor, favorite teacher, always willing to listen to students.”

One wrote: “His advice kept me from making a big mistake.”

Another wrote: “He made a huge difference in the lives of so many.”

His off-hand comment has helped me navigate the Scripps organization. “Don’t go downtown,” he said, “unless they call for you.”

Our Miracle Maker salute this week is to an old-timer who made a differ-ence. Hope you enjoy the story.

Sitting on the porchThis writer interviewed James

Bellamy in 2000 for a series on Pow-ell residents called Allan and Hilda’s Back Porch. Here is that story:

Jim and Anna Bellamy live in Pow-ell and probably always will. “Powell is a real community,” Jim says. “My friends are here. Besides, my house is paid for.”

Jim came to Powell in 1949 when his father, a Methodist minister, was assigned to Powell Methodist Church. Bellamy moved around as a kid. His father served 14 communities in his 42-year career. Bellamy went to school in Virginia. When he got a job, he was asked to teach Tennessee history. He had to learn the subject fi rst.

Jim loved teaching history. He re-members one fi eld trip to Blount Man-sion. The kids got off the bus, looked around with awe and asked Bellamy, “Do you own this house?”

He laughs when he remembers his principal at Powell High, W.W. “Bill” Morris, a for-mer superinten-dent of schools who had been beaten for re-election. Morris had returned to Powell High as princi-pal, but he loved to teach history. “He would come into my class and say, ‘You go up and answer the phone.’ Then he would teach my class.”

History of PowellBellamy tells the story of the found-

ing of Powell Station. It all started at Bell’s Bridge (near the current Weigel’s store on Clinton Highway). Let’s back up even more... After the Revolution-ary War, great chunks of land were giv-en to men for their service. They didn’t even know where the land was.

In 1787, John Menifee received about 500 acres of land in what is now Powell. He came here in 1787 or ’88 and built a fort on Beaver Creek. Me-nifee was Speaker of the House of Rep-resentatives of the State of Franklin, later Tennessee. His fort was a refuge for the settlers from the Indians, ac-cording to a monument erected by the James White Chapter DAR in 1928.

Bellamy takes an aside. “They al-ways built on water, later on the rail-road, now off the interstate.” Powell has been uniquely situated with a creek, a railroad and now a major in-terstate.

He skips forward: After John Me-nifee was here for a few years,

he sold out to Samuel Bell, the second resident of Pow-ell, and moved away to Kentucky.

He later went to Tex-as. Al Bell, who taught history at Powell High

School before becoming social studies supervisor for Knox County Schools, is a descendant of Samuel Bell, Bellamy said. Samuel Bell owned 1,100 acres that went to the top of Copper Ridge. In 1809, the Methodists started camp

meetings at Bell’s Campground. Powell. You’ve got to say it right.

Pronounce it “pal.” Everybody from around here knows that. “One day a Yankee came looking for Po-well. No-body could fi nd it and he left,” Bellamy said.

Bellamy skips forward: The railroad came through in 1860. This was the next big change for Powell. Columbus Powell gave the land for the train sta-tion and they named it for him – Pow-ell Station. Columbus Powell, who died without known heirs, built and lived in the house on Emory Road where George Gill lives, next door to Allan and Hilda Gill’s place.

The fi rst churches in Powell started at Bell’s Campground. The Cumber-land Presbyterians came fi rst, about 1832-33. The Methodists and Baptists followed, in the 1880s. Bellamy tries to explain the difference: The Presby-terians were a stately people, but the Cumberland Presbyterians were more evangelistic. They might have “shout-ed.”

The Civil War divided the commu-nity because most East Tennesseans sided with the Union even though Ten-nessee had offi cially seceded. “We have no connection with Memphis. And we had few slaves,” Bellamy said. “There were more killings in East Tennessee after the Civil War than before,” be-cause of the unrest.

Bellamy said East Tennessee might have seceded from the rest of the state like West Virginia, but Andrew John-son was determined that his home state remain intact.

Powell changed again after World

War II. “Oak Ridge changed Powell,” Bellamy explains. The scientists who came here settled in Karns and Powell, causing a boom in population and an infl ux of new ideas and people.

Teaching careerHow much does Bellamy miss

teaching? Listen to some anecdotes (which may or may not have been ut-tered by Bellamy students):

“Abe Lincoln was born in a house that he built.”

“A horse divided will not stand.”“The death of Thomas Jefferson was

a big turning point in his life.”And then there was the kindergar-

ten kid who was asked to tell the class about his soon-to-be-born brother: “They talk about him and then feel my mother’s stomach. I think my mamma ate him.”

And Bellamy knows little-known facts: The town of Clinton was origi-nally named Burrville, but changed its name after the treason of Aaron Burr. There’s no word on whether another name change is in the offi ng.

Bellamy has perspective: We’re in a computer world. In 1903 my grandpa died. He had never seen a car or a tele-phone. In 44 B.C., Julius Caesar died. He was carried by six white horses; in 1904, Teddy Roosevelt died. He was carried by six white horses.

When we did this interview, Jim and Anna were all set to travel to Oberam-mergau, Germany, for the Passion Play.

“They only do it every 10 years,” Jim said. “At my age, why wait?”

with his wife, Celia, of Sweetwater Valley Farms, is on a one-man campaign to correct the misconceptions about milk. It’s important for him to be a cheerleader for the product, he says, as it is not only good for those drinking it, but good for business.

“Milk gets a bad rap,” Harrison told the group, asking for a show of hands of those who do not drink milk. “And milk sales are down. As a dairy farmer, I cannot understand why ev-eryone doesn’t want a big glass of cold milk several times a day.”

One eye-opening exer-cise Harrison brought to the forefront started with a picture of a popular high-protein drink. A comparison of the two labels found that the high-protein drink had only 2 additional grams of

protein than a glass of milk, was much higher in sodium/salt content and additives. When Harrison compared the glass of milk to popu-lar sports energy drinks, he showed the sports drink had

no protein and 14 grams of sugar. In addition, the price for both the high-protein and sports drinks was high-er than for milk. “The truth is that we have a much better product in a glass of milk,” says Harrison.

Sweetwater Valley Farms is located between the towns of Philadelphia and Loudon and includes a ro-bust cheese business.

In addition, Harrison and his team do agritourism for area groups or individu-als. “It is important to edu-cate children and the public on the farming industry and

dairy farming,” says Harri-son. “Keeping things local is important to people once they know about you.”

The farm houses an ex-hibit that tells the history and current industry trends in dairy farming called The Udder Story. It is a quick walk-through exhibit that explains the dairy business.

In addition, they offer farm tours on the hour and a tour through the cheese shop.

One of his educational “missions” is to educate people about how tasty cheese curds are, says Har-rison. “People in the U.S. are reluctant to try them. But we keep a pan of cheese curds cooking on the stove and tell customers about the cheese curd. Once they taste them, they come back.”

Today, Harrison says there are 4,000 followers on a so-cial media site that monitor what kind of cheese curds the farm is featuring. “Cheese curds are a ‘squeaky cheese,’ and they toast-up like a po-tato cake. Delicious.”

The numbers for Sweetwa-ter Valley Farms, which won a prestigious national award from the Independent Dairy Farmers Association for In-novative Dairy of the Year, are staggering. They produce 250,000 pounds of cheese and 20 million pounds of milk each year. “There are only 400 dairy farmers in the state of Tennessee,” says Harrison. “There used to be hundreds

and hundreds of dairy farms, including some right here in Farragut. There are a lot of reasons why there aren’t that many anymore. Studies show that by 2020, 1,800 farms will produce 80 percent of the country’s milk.”

Nationally, there are some very large dairy farms. “There is a farm in

Chicago that has 50,000 milk-producing cows. We have 1,800 mature produc-ers right now.”

Gigi’s Cupcakes in Tur-key Creek has a new owner – three of them to be exact – and the frontman is no stranger to the business. Randall Butler is the broth-er of Gigi Butler, the founder of the business that started in Nashville and now has 85 stores nationwide.

Randall has temporarily moved to Farragut to help oversee the “new” Gigi’s. His business partners are two friends who also have a little knowledge of just what they are getting themselves into – not from a baking side, but from the business side. John Weber and Mark Mendoza, also from Nash-ville, have several Sport Clips franchises.

Randall had a “Grand Re-Opening” for the cup-cake shop on Saturday, and his sister Gigi came by for the festivities.

A conversation with Randall was an interesting lesson in how Gigi and the Butler family – and it is very much a family business – look at the business world. Gigi’s Cupcakes opened in

Sweet family ties: Gigi’s Cupcakes has new owner

Nashville fi ve years ago. The idea came from Gigi and Randall’s brother, Steve, who was in New York and stood in line for two hours to buy a cupcake from a spe-cialty bakery.

“Cupcakes have always been a part of our lives as consumers,” says Randall, “but ‘Sex and the City’ start-ed the trend toward gour-met cupcakes.”

In the 2000 episode of the popular HBO series, Mi-randa and Carrie eat a cup-cake at Magnolia Bakery. The New York bakery soon became a stop on the “Sex and the City” bus tour, and the rest was history.

“Sprinkles opened on the West Coast in 2005,” says Randall, “and things just went crazy.”

So when brother Steve

was eating his well-de-served cupcake in New York, he called his entrepre-neur sister, who had moved to Nashville, waiting tables during the day and sing-ing in clubs at night. She then ventured out to start a cleaning company.

Steve told Gigi that the red velvet cupcake he was eating wasn’t as good as the ones she and her moth-er made. Gigi saved every penny and opened her fi rst cupcake shop in Nashville fi ve years ago.

“The craze is going to cool off,” says her practical brother, who came in shortly after they began to help with operations.

“But cupcakes will always make sense in people’s lives. They aren’t going away, and the company that has the strongest brand and is doing things the right way will be okay.”

Randall, obviously, is helping to make sure one of those companies is Gigi’s. “The owners here were ready to move on and looking to sell their franchise,” he said. “I was interested in buying, so here we are!”

About 15 percent of Gigi’s stores are company owned and the rest are franchised. And while all the current owners live in Nashville, Randall is sticking around for a while to make sure things go well. “I probably

don’t need to,” he says. “I have a great manager in Lori Hornstra. But for right now, I’m camping out in the Gigi RV and getting to know Farragut.”

I’m not going to disclose the location of the Gigi RV for it might become its own tourist stop, but suffi ce it to say that if you see it, you’ll know it’s Randall.

The huge RV is com-pletely wrapped in Gigi’s Cupcake motif and hot pink color scheme. “It’s hard to miss,” he says with a laugh, showing a picture on his phone. “Great marketing.”

Looking around the Tur-key Creek store, it is evident that Gigi is not standing still and just riding out the wave of cupcake popularity.

The local store now has mini-cupcakes that can be bought by the dozen on the spot ($15). The traditional favorite fl avors are available for the regular cupcakes – wedding cake, red velvet, several chocolates, birth-day cake – along with some seasonal delights like mo-jito, orange dreamsicle and cherry limeade.

The website – www.gi-giscupcakesusa.com – tells

customers what fl avors are available each day.

New to the menu are in-dividual cheesecakes in three traditional fl avors, plus new fl avors each week.

As for the Knoxville area, Randall says they are con-sidering expanding.

“Maybe in West Town Mall and maybe down-town,” he says, adding, “but that’s just maybes right now.” The company formed to buy the Farragut Gigi’s is MRJ Layer Cake LLC. “We are all good buddies,” says Randall, “and we are having a good time.”

NEWS FROM PREMIER SURGICAL

Billy Steve Lowe of Clinton is looking forward to going fi shing soon. Lowe hasn’t been able to fi sh or do many favorite things since being sidelined by leg pain so severe, he could hardly walk.

PAD treatment has Clinton man back on his feet

Billy Steve Lowe is able to walk with-

out pain after treatment for Periph-

eral Arterial Disease (PAD) in his legs.

“My legs ached so much I could hardly walk anywhere,” says Lowe. “And my toes were numb, so I didn’t have any bal-ance. I got bruises on my neck and head from where I fell try-ing to walk.”

Lowe’s leg pain started grad-ually about four years ago. He tried to live with it, but eventu-ally the cramps and the numb-ness in his feet forced him to re-tire from his job as a bricklayer.

“I couldn’t get up on a lad-der anymore, because I didn’t know when I might fall,” Lowe remembers.

His family physician suspect-ed that Lowe had peripheral ar-terial disease or PAD.

“I had bad circulation. No blood was going to my feet,” explains Lowe.

His doctor referred Lowe to Premier Surgical vascular surgeon Dr. Christopher Pollock. Dr. Pol-lock says PAD is a common vas-cular condition that affects many people over age 50.

“PAD happens when plaque builds up and blocks the arter-ies outside your heart. We see it a lot in people who smoke, or have diabetes and are over-weight.” Although Lowe isn’t diabetic or overweight, he is a longtime smoker.

If left untreated, the lack of blood f low can lead to numb-ness, gangrene, and eventual foot or leg amputation.

“I thought I might lose my foot because of it,” says Lowe. “My right leg had turned purple and the skin was cracked open in between my toes. I was in bad shape.”

Fortunately, if PAD is diag-nosed early, the condition can often be addressed with lifestyle changes, such as exercise and improved diet. If the disease is more advanced, the blockages can often be addressed with en-dovascular treatments.

In an outpatient procedure called an angioplasty, per-formed at the Premier Surgical Vascular Center on Papermill Drive, Dr. Pollock used a tiny balloon to open the clogged artery in Lowe’s right leg. He also placed a stent to keep the blood f lowing.

Lowe is thrilled with the re-sult. “He did a real good job. My leg feels 100 percent better and my toes aren’t numb now. Walk-ing is already easier.”

Dr. Pollock is scheduled to do the procedure on Steve’s left leg this week. He’s looking forward to having the blood fl ow also re-stored in that leg. “I’m ready to get treated and then I’m going to go fi shing,” he smiles.

By Alvin NanceFor Flag Day on June

14, I took a moment to refl ect on the freedom that the A m e r i c a n fl ag sym-bolizes and the veterans who fought to protect

that freedom. I was remind-ed of a display case in the lobby of Isabella Towers that holds a special meaning to our residents who are mili-tary veterans.

In 2010, the Isabella Tow-ers Resident Association ap-

plied to the East Tennessee Foundation’s Small Grant Program to build a display case that would hold memo-rabilia honoring current and past residents, especially military veterans.

Isabella Towers resi-dent Ted Hurst, a fi ve-year member of the resident as-sociation board who has been both president and vice president, worked to have the display case installed in the lobby. Hurst said that the idea for the memorial case came when he looked around at the other residents living in KCDC properties and began thinking about their past lives and careers.

News from Knoxville’s Community Development Corporation (KCDC)

Isabella Towers resident Ted Hurst explains the items in the

hand-made display case donated by residents and their fami-

lies to honor veterans. Seven residents built the case in 2010 to

honor current and past residents who had served in the military.

“I thought it would be nice to remember the veterans. There wouldn’t be a country without them,” he said.

Hurst, along with resi-dents Jim Violet, Sue French, Tony Shook, Rob-ert Kaiser, Robert White and Tom Crooks, built the display case by hand. Ted loves showing off the case and explaining some of the items that have been placed there by residents and their families.

The case was full of pho-tos of residents who had served in the military, mili-tary awards, a fl ag that has fl own over the U.S. Capi-tol, and memorabilia rep-resenting the Army, Navy, Air Force and Coast Guard. Especially poignant on Flag Day were the two tri-fold fl ags that reside in the case, symbols honoring veterans who have passed away.

“This display case has special meaning to all of our residents,” said Isabella Towers manager Becky Fet-ters. “Many of our residents are veterans or have family members who served, and it has become a source of pride for everyone here. It’s an op-portunity to remember and celebrate the sacrifi ces that have been made for us as Americans and to recognize the heroes who reside here.”

KCDC has many resi-dents who fought for our liberty and to keep the American fl ag fl ying. I would like to echo what Ted said when he recognized the need for this memorial at Isabella Towers: Without our veterans, there would be no freedom in America. I am very proud of Isabel-la Towers and its resident association for honoring these amazing individuals.

By Sara BarrettWhen Joan Vignes talks

about her younger years, it seems she hasn’t yet decid-ed if those will also be the “good ole’ days” or if those still lie ahead. The 94-year-old has traveled abroad to many places and she has trouble picking a favorite.

“Bombs are all falling, the Reds will be here; shaking with terror, trembling with fear; What can I do? Heaven just knows; I’m down to my last pair of panty hose!”

– a poem Joan Vignes wrote after hearing an

acquaintance complain about inconveniences

of the war.

World traveler settles in

“Each place is so differ-ent,” said Vignes. “You can’t compare apples to oranges.”

Vignes grew up on a jute plantation in India where her father and mother

were the property manag-ers. Servants waited on her family hand and foot. She married and had a son while in India, but knew it was time to move “when the natives wanted the British out,” she said.

She remembers a visit to the American Embassy in India when a riot broke out in the streets. She left the embassy to check on her son who was with his Indian ayah, similar to a nanny. The folks at the embassy encouraged her to wait to leave the build-ing until the riot stopped, but she said “I knew the people there, and I knew they wouldn’t harm me. I walked into the street and the crowd parted because a woman was coming through.”

It was a bit of a culture shock moving to the states from such a lifestyle, said Vignes. “We did not eat in the quantity people eat here,” she said. Servants changed bed linens on a dai-ly basis for the white fami-

lies there, not on a weekly basis as Americans did.

Once she got settled in America, Vignes worked for the New York Times and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. She discovered a skill and passion she had

for writing “little ditties” about the war and every-day events. She still enjoys doing anything creative and loathes math.

Still settling into her new place at Autumn Care, Vignes is trying to decide

what to do next. She loves a good game of Scrabble and has purchased several games to play with the oth-er residents of the facility. The last time she played the game with her grand-son, he won but, accord-

ing to Vignes, it was onlybecause she was tired andwanted to go to bed.

Now when he calls herhe’ll ask if she’s ready foranother round of Scrabble.“Only if you want to getcremated,” she’ll say.

By Sandra ClarkBrandywine at Turkey

Creek, a 61-lot subdivision on Fretz Road, is on hold until July 11 following ac-tion by the county plan-ning commission (MPC).

Developer Bruce Matzel is unhappy, blaming inces-sant rainfall for his delay in widening Fretz Road and building a right-angle in-tersection with Campbell Station Road – both MPC conditions for approval of

the subdivision plat.“We’ve been stirring

this pot for 2-1/2 years and it’s still awfully muddy,” said MPC commissioner Art Clancy. “I don’t under-stand why we’re not get-ting it done.”

He moved to delay Mat-zel’s request to build on five more lots, and the mo-tion passed 10-4.

MPC initially approved 15 building lots on the 13-acre tract, upon Matzel’s

promise to make the road improvements. The road lies both inside and outside the town of Farragut and “having two jurisdictions has complicated (Mat-zel’s project),” said Darryl Smith, the town’s engineer.

Jay Myers and Glen Crawford, both residents on Fretz Road, spoke in support of the delay. “Fretz Road is very dangerous, and the improvements have not started,” said Myers.

“The road is 16-feet wide with no center line,” said Crawford.

When Smith said the town of Farragut had is-sued a stop work order because of right-of-way concerns, that pretty much iced it for Matzel. But he went down fighting.

“We’ve got 10 families living (in Brandywine) and will have three more in the next 60 days. We’re trying to make the road safer .”

NEWS FROM PARKWEST, WEST KNOXVILLE’S HEALTHCARE LEADER • TREATEDWELL.COM • 374-PARK

Getting past the pastPeninsula’s WRAP off ers hope

Victoria Patterson grew up feeling unloved and unwanted, with no stability and more than one abusive adult in her life. She remembers being molested at an early age. She remembers an uncle grabbing her by the hair and banging her head against a wall. She remembers being confi ned to a room and ordered to sit on her hands for hours at a time. She remembers be-ing told she was ugly and worthless.

What she doesn’t recall is feeling any sense of self-worth or ability. It’s little wonder that as an adult, Victoria found it hard to keep a job or maintain healthy relation-ships.

A few years ago, Victoria made a decision to try a Vocational Rehabili-tation program, hoping to learn how to make a living and stay employed. A counselor referred her to a program which does more than that. He sent her to Wellness Recovery Action Plan (WRAP) at Peninsula, a division of Parkwest. WRAP, part of Peninsula’s Recovery Education Center, gave Vic-toria the tools she needed to build a life unhindered by depression and anxiety.

WRAP’s goal is to get mental health consumers to a point where they can have meaningful lives with fulfi ll-ing work and satisfying relationships. That leads to making a positive contribution to society.

Put it all together and even a person who once was in the depths of despair can fi nd the way back to a happier, healthier life.

“It taught me how to step back and rec-ognize my issues, how to manage them, and when and how to ask for help,” Victoria ex-plains. “I use the tools I learned to manage my daily life, and then work on improving myself and build a future that I can be proud of.”

Cathy Jerrolds, REC supervisor, explains that WRAP helps people take an active part in controlling how psychiatric symptoms and ad-dictions affect their lives.

“WRAP is an evidence-based program and has been shown to decrease re-hospitalization by as much as 80 percent for those who suc-cessfully complete the course,” Jerrolds says. “When symptoms fl are or stress increases, we can often overlook the things we need to do in order to get and remain well. WRAP offers a way of structuring all of this information in an easy to follow plan.” That’s been critical in Vic-

toria’s success.“I didn’t have any

hope or direction. No plans. And I was just making it minute to minute, not even day to day,” Victoria says. “Now I have confi dence, a future and respect for myself, tools to mange my bad days and a plan to handle things if I ever lose control.”

WRAP is one piece of a recovery puz-zle that can be solved at the REC. Jerrolds teaches a wide variety of classes, including subjects like job readi-ness and career develop-ment. Those classes cover everything from resume writ-ing and interview skills, to fi nding out how disability checks may be af-fected by income and employer/employee ex-pectations.

There are also REC classes that deal with more personal relationship issues like bound-aries, verbal abuse, communication and how

to have healthy relationship with oneself. Victoria is a completely different person

today. With a steady job at a pet store, you’ll fi nd her interacting with people all day long, whether it’s helping a family pick the right

food for a new kitten, giving a pedicure to a small dog, or giving a full spa treatment

to a larger one. She is a dog trainer and has managed training as a

veterinary assistant, too. This young wom-an who used to struggle to fi nd joy anywhere in life now fi nds plenty of

it with what she calls her “family of choice”:

her friends, her husband, their new daughter and a new

kitten. Simple things like reading, swimming and even work bring un-

complicated happiness to each new day.Jerrolds says the WRAP plan is suitable for

anyone who wants to create positive change in the way they feel or increase their enjoyment of life.

“WRAP is designed in such an organized

and helpful way that it can easily be adaptedto fi t any circumstance life brings your way,”Jerrolds explains. “Once you have the basicunderstanding of the WRAP and how to useit, you can change the wording to fi t an anni-versary date of an emotional event, stressfulfamily gatherings, physical health problemsor work.”

Jerrolds says WRAP is a program that of-fers hope and structure, and has been adaptedfor substance abuse, veterans, and even chil-dren and adolescents. After 14 years workingin the REC, Jerrolds says she has seen manypeople’s lives change or improve.

“People who have not had the quality of lifethey would like to have become alive, engagedand take charge of their recovery,” Jerroldssays. “I have been very blessed to be a smallpart of this wonderful organization’s invest-ment in recovery, believing that people diag-nosed with a mental illness can recover, leadfull productive lives and be contributing mem-bers of their community.”

Victoria has words of advice for anyone whomay be struggling the way she was just a fewshort years ago. “Keep hope, and fi nd at leasttwo good things to say about yourself everyday. There is always hope,” Victoria insists.“Love yourself because you are worth it. Thereis always a new day breaking and the futuremay hold untold joy.”

Liz Clary named Vice President of

Behavioral Health at PeninsulaLiz Clary, RN, has been promoted

to the position of vice president of behavioral health for Peninsula, a division of Parkwest. Clary replaces retiring vice president Jeff Dice.

“Liz will be directly responsible for leadership and day-to-day administration for all of Peninsula Behavioral Health,” said Rick Lassiter, president and CAO of Parkwest Medical Center. “She will also provide consultative leadership for the Senior Behavioral Unit at Parkwest.”

Lassiter notes that Clary has more than 30 years of healthcare administrative and executive experience in psychiatric and acute care. Her professional background includes operations, strategic planning, program development, fi scal management, physician relations and supervision, all with a strong value system and focus on high quality patient care and staff development and

support.Clary has served Peninsula Hospital

as director of patient care services since 2010. In 2013, Clary was honored with the 2012 Buscetta Leadership

Award, a top honor from parent company Covenant Health recognizing excellence among healthcare leaders.

“Liz is a dedicated and compassionate leader who will step into the role with a zeal for patient care, said Lassiter. “We are blessed to have had the leadership of Jeff Dice, a visionary leader, and are equally blessed to have Liz step into this role with so much experience and ability.”

Peninsula, a Division of Parkwest Medical Center, is East Tennessee’s leading provider of behavioral healthcare services providing a complete range of mental health and alcohol/drug treatment programs. In addition to outpatient centers in Blount, Knox, Loudon and Sevier counties, facilities include Peninsula Hospital, a 155-bed inpatient facility in Blount County. For information on Peninsula services, call 865-970-9800, or visit www.peninsulabehavioralhealth.org.

What is Peninsula Recovery Education Center?

Peninsula Recovery Education Center (REC) is a place where people who struggle with mental illness develop their own programs to enhance and support their recovery. The REC, a part of Peninsula Outpatient Services, provides a place for learning and support with students and trained staff. Sessions are 12 weeks long. Classes meet fi ve days a week, 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Snacks and lunch are provided.

What is Recovery and how can I join?

Recovery is a personal journey that demands attention and effort on the part of the student. The REC teaches four aspects of recovery: physical, spiritual, emotional and psychological. The REC gives students opportunities to be the guiding force in their own recovery. They are also encouraged to offer support and help facilitate recovery of their peers.

You must be at least 18 years old to participate in Peninsula REC, and referrals are necessary. The REC accepts TennCare as payment. For more information about joining REC and payment options, call 865-374-7140.

I cannot stay in the darkness, I must harness my ability to stay on track

To grow and change, and never remain the same.

It’s always darkest before the dawnBut I’ve got a new songA song to sing loud and long“I Am Strong”

Strong enough to make it, and I won’t break it

Even if I falter, here and there, I amstill going somewhere.

Carol Zinavage

Carol’s Corner

When 16-year-old Collin Greaser makes up his mind to do something, you’d bet-ter step back, because noth-ing will stop him.

The can-do kid

He runs distance races. He does yoga. He swims and plays tennis. He’s sung in a chorus. He’s doing well in school. He’s the greeter at the Fox Den Country Club pool this summer. And he’s a heck of a piano player.

All this in spite of cere-bral palsy.

Collin, who is a rising junior at Farragut High School, has a mild form of the disorder; it affects the left side of his body. It was caused by a brain bleed when he was born prema-turely (most CP onsets hap-pen at birth or shortly after.)

CP affects brain signals to muscles, not the muscles themselves. But the brain is capable of constructing new pathways. And Collin is a worker like you’ve never seen.

He is the living embodi-ment of “if at fi rst you don’t

Collin Greaser with his favorite

instrument. Photo by Carol Zinavage

Dad Eric Greaser, Collin, cousin Sean Sterling, granddad Dan

Greaser, cousin Nick Sterling, and mom Robin Greaser after fi n-

ishing the Reindeer Run in December. Photo submitted

succeed, try, try again.” And the more he try-tries, the more he challenges his brain to keep up with him.

He comes by the running honestly; his whole family runs distance races. In fact, his mom, Robin, just ran the Boston Marathon. She was in the fi nish chute chatting to Collin’s dad, Eric, when the fi rst bomb went off. They thought it was fi reworks.

Fortunately, everyone came home safely.

The races Collin likes the most are the ones in which the whole family, includ-ing granddad Dan Greaser, runs together. He also en-

joys regular runs with a group of friends.

And he gives his mom a workout on the tennis court from time to time. The two of them are the best of friends and often go on shopping trips together.

“I like to help her out,” says Collin with a grin.

Then there’s the piano playing. When he fi rst be-gan lessons at the age of 10, he couldn’t press a key with any of the fi ngers on his left hand. He couldn’t manipu-late the hand in any way. It seemed hopeless.

Now, six years later, Col-lin plays two-handed scales

up and down the keyboard with ease. He does complex left-hand patterns that are tough for any piano student.

And he thrives on all of it. The bigger the challenge, the more he likes it.

His parents rarely have to remind him to practice; he is self-motivated and he’s at the keyboard every day. When asked what his favorite thing to do is, he says, “You mean besides playing the piano?”

He’s performed in sev-eral recitals and is currently working on a list of pieces that he’ll play when he goes to visit his mom’s parents,

who live in Raleigh. Unlike his other set of grandpar-ents, who live in East Ten-nessee, the Raleigh grand-parents aren’t privy to his day-to-day progress. Each year they can’t believe what they’re hearing. And this is his best year yet.

His dad says that Collin was always interested in music, even as a baby. He’s an active and enthusiastic concertgoer. In addition to classical music, he also likes Selena Gomez, Christina Aguilera and Adele.

He also loves movies and video games. Of course he

loves video games – he’s 16.It’s a requirement!

Collin’s not sure what hewants to be when he growsup, but he enjoyed a recentclass on business principles.So he may be out there shak-ing up the business worldbefore too long.

But he’s got plenty of timeto think about that. For now,he’s enjoying the summerand looking forward to hisjunior year.

And you can bet that,wherever he is, he’ll be tick-ling the ivories!Send story suggestions to news@Shopper
