Freedom balloonsBy Theresa Edwards
Pastor Ron Stewart of Grace Baptist Church surprised the con-gregation March 11 with a live symbolic demonstration illustrat-ing his sermon on freedom.
Each person was given a bal-loon to release while yelling “free-dom” in unison.
Approximately 700 balloons fi lled the sky after each of two worship services. The weather co-operated with a clear blue sky. The balloons rose and drifted slightly westward.
Dr. Stewart’s sermon began with a short video of America’s history that began in the pursuit of freedom.
“It’s a proclamation, a right worth protecting, a movement, and a dream.
“It’s a celebration … It is for freedom the pilgrims sailed to a new world.
“It is for freedom our founders signed the Declaration of Inde-pendence.”
The video ended by remind-ing of another day of freedom gained more than 2000 years ago through Christ.
Stewart said Christians have a new nature inside of them, but the old nature resides also, and it is a daily battle as to which will pre-vail.
Stewart described “freedom fi ghters” as those tired of living the old defeated life. It is a minute-by-minute battle to maintain that freedom.
“The side which gets fed the most is going to be in control,” he said.
“If you feed the old nature, it’ll dominate you … being in the wrong places and doing the wrong things.
“Feed the new nature by read-ing the Word of God and serving God, and the new nature will win.”
Evidence of freedom is not sim-ply getting rid of the wrong things,

with Natalie SwindellIt was an appreciation for art, not a talent to create it,
that drew Natalie Swindell to become a gallery owner. The owner of Red Line Gallery in Village Green Shopping Center says she “doodles,” but is not an artist.
“I have a real love and appreciation for art in general,” she says. “I grew up going to galleries and frequenting a little museum in my hometown, so it is a love of art that brought Red Line to fruition.”
Natalie and her husband, David, have lived in Farragut for 14 years and are the parents of three: Hailey Stevens, 19, and Jordan (25) and Josh (28) Swindell. David owns a company that designs and manufactures instrumenta-tion for coal mines. Red Line Gallery is Natalie’s fi rst ven-ture into the retail world. “I had my private investigators’ license and did that for eight years,” she says. “Before that, I was just a cog in the corporate world.”
The world of small businesses has been enjoyable, says the gallery owner, who opened Red Line three years ago. “The economy hasn’t been the best, but it hasn’t been ter-rible. I fi nd the small business community and the town of Farragut to be very supportive of their own. The cama-raderie makes the good news better and the bad news a little easier to weather.”
Natalie’s passion for art began as a child in Wyomiss-ing, Pa. When she began looking around for something to put her time into, an art gallery just seemed like an idea whose time had come.
“I felt Farragut was totally ready for this,” she says. “And, in our third year, more and more people are coming in the door, and we have been well-received. I just opened a shop online because we are getting customers from out-of-town, too.”
Red Line Gallery has a modern, contemporary theme, although Natalie says that doesn’t mean everything is “abstract.”
“I choose artists and pieces with an eye to things I would buy, pieces I would want in my house. I also look for things that are sellable, so we have a good collection of all original artwork here,” she says.
Some customers become familiar with the gallery through Natalie’s willingness to open after hours for fun-draisers, like the one just completed for Breakthrough, a support organization for adults with autism.
Red Line Gallery is located at 11519 Kingston Pike, in the Village Green Shopping Center. The Web address is www.redlinegallery.net, and phone is 288-0277. She is

Sit and have a Coffee Break as you get to know Natalie Swindell:
What is your favorite quote from a television show or movie?
“It is from ‘The Wizard of Oz,’ when the wicked witch says, ‘I’ll get you my pretty, and your little dog, too!’ ”
What is your favorite material possession?“It might be silly to say, but right now, it is a pen. I
have one that hasn’t been lost or stolen (a rarity), and it writes like a dream.
What are you reading currently?“Food & Wine magazine.”
What was your most embarrassing moment? “There are so many to choose from! I’m a bit clumsy,
so tripping, falling and running into things is an every-day occurrence. Unfortunately, it doesn’t get any less embarrassing with its frequency.”
What are the top three things on your bucket list? “They are: Play with penguins, zip-line through the
rainforest and visit the Louvre.”
What is one word others often use to describe you?“Determined.”
If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
“Patience is a virtue I know little of. I wish I had more.”
What is your passion? “I love art, cooking, travel and family.”
With whom, living or dead, would you most like to have
a long lunch?“Edgar Allen Poe. I have always been fascinated by
his writings. I think a lunch with him would be quite the experience.”
Other than your parents, who has had the biggest infl u-ence on your life and why?
“I can’t pick one person as being more infl uential than others. My family, friends, teachers, coaches, colleagues and employers all play such an integral part in my life.”
I still can’t quite get the hang of … “Painting. I have taken class upon class and still end
up with a canvas not even fi t for the closet. I believe this is why I have so much respect and admiration for paint-ers and their work.”
What is the best present you ever received in a box?“My cat, Capone. I’m not sure I would classify him as
a present, but he certainly is a gift. The little guy was a week old and orphaned. I was asked if I would take him in. He came in a tiny little box, and I had to feed him with a dropper. He was my gallery buddy for the longest time, until he learned to climb! He now stays at home with a couple of feline friends named Possum and Pepper.”
What is the best advice your mother ever gave you?“Look both ways before crossing the street. That’s
been a life saver!”
What is your social media of choice? “I dabble with most of them. Social media have made
it so easy to connect with clients and artists, many who I may not have been able to connect with otherwise. It’s a brilliant innovation.”
What is the worst job you have ever had?“I would never tell. I may need a letter of recommen-
dation from them one day.”
What was your favorite Saturday morning cartoon and why?“ ‘Scooby Doo.’ I loved trying to solve the mystery
before Mysteries Inc. You know, I’ve seen the Mystery Machine driving around Farragut. I wonder what hijinks Old Man Withers is up to now?”
What irritates you?“Rude people. Is it really that diffi cult to be polite?”
What’s one place in Farragut everyone should visit?“Red Line Gallery, of course!”
If you could go back in time, what advice would you give yourself at 18?
“Buckle up, honey, it’s gonna be a bumpy ride, but well worth it in the end.”
What is your greatest fear? “I am terrifi ed of heights. Really, I’d get dizzy stand-
ing on a stepladder.”
If you could do one impulsive thing, what would it be? “Move to Italy.”
It can be your neighbor, club leader, bridge partner, boss, father, teacher – anyone you think would be interesting to Farragut Shopper-News readers. Email sugges-tions to Sherri Gardner Howell, [email protected]. Include contact info if you can.

last week to photograph a bunch of kids forming “pi” or 3.14 in the yard. She posted her fears on Facebook which led to this exchange:
■ Jake Mabe: You need your trusted assistant whousually stands at the bottom of the ladder and holds your feet ... But my all-time favorite: “Go down and get a picture of some homeless guy under the bridge. Keep the engine running.”
■ Shannon Carey: You forgot, “Get a picture from the middle of the intersection, but try not to get hit.”
■ Sandra Clark’s response: Hey, I didn’t mention that John Evans was spreading ‘zoo doo’ until AFTER you walked around in it for the best shot.”
■ Debbie Raticoff Moss: “LOL. Never a dull moment at the Shopper-News!”
■ Pellissippi State has purchased the old Phillips Consumer Electronics headquarters on Strawberry Plains Pike. The college bought the 32.6-acre property with a 223,000-square-foot building for $10 million. Look for Pellissippi to train workers for jobs such as we once had at ... Phillips.

Armstrong won’t
take job he just wonWhy did Joe Jarret resign
as Knox County Law Direc-tor after losing the GOP pri-mary to Bud Armstrong?
Bud Armstrong Joe Jarret
Betty Bean
Why did Armstrong turn down the opportunity to be appointed to the po-sition, which would allow him to advise the commit-tee that’s going to recom-mend changes to the coun-ty charter under which he will be operating?
At first blush, Jarret looks like a sore loser who decided to show his op-ponent up for his lack of experience and creden-tials. (Armstrong got his law degree in 2008 from Nashville School of Law, a night school which isn’t American Bar Association-accredited.) Make him look like the dog that chased the school bus and didn’t know what to do when he caught it.
But Jarret says that’s not so, and Armstrong isn’t saying anything beyond what’s in his rather puz-zling press release about needing time to wind his practice down and consult-ing the finest legal minds in East Tennessee to avoid the appearance of a con-flict of interests.
The whole thing would be hard to explain to any-one who’s not From Here, as we say, because explain-ing starts with the fact that Knox County is essentially a one-party operation and most local races are decid-ed in the Republican pri-mary, making the August general election nothing more than a legal formal-ity.
One of the worst byprod-ucts of the system comes into play when an incum-bent officeholder loses in the primary. Horror stories
It’s a puzzlement
abound about retaliation, absentee-management and malaise among the staff. Historically, interreg-nums breed mischief, and a lot can happen between March and September.
Jarret, whose major po-litical liability is that he’s not From Here, knows those difficulties first hand. He was hired on as chief deputy by former law director Bill Lockett, who resigned in 2010 after pleading guilty to felony theft for stealing more than $60,000 from his former law firm. Jarret did the law director’s job for an assistant’s pay for almost a year while Lockett twisted in the wind. After the res-ignation, County Com-mission appointed him to serve out the balance of Lockett’s term.
When asked why he’d give up half a year’s sal-ary, Jarrett had a ready answer:
“I’ve done all I can do for this office and it’s time for me to move on. For me to sit here and draw a pay-check just because I can isn’t right,” Jarret said. “I just presumed (Arm-strong) would be knocking my door down because of how important this (char-ter revision) is, and since he claimed to be an expert in the charter and in Ten-nessee law, I thought he’d be anxious to do this.”
Jarret recalled that Armstrong regularly told audiences at campaign events that he had put his practice on hold to knock on doors, making the claim that he’s too busy “specious at best.”
“His claim that he can’t just abandon his clients is equally without merit, due to the fact that section 3.08 of the charter permits him to dispose of cases while in the county’s employ,” Jar-ret said.
Armstrong, meanwhile, says he’ll see us in Septem-ber as packs of hungry law-yers line up to apply for the temporary job. Contact Betty Bean at bbeanster@aol.

Donations for churchesKnox County Sheriff Jimmy “J.J.” Jones, Mayor Tim Burchett, Alan Jones and the Rev. Stephen Steele at a ceremony Thursday dur-
ing which Jones and Burchett each donated $250 from campaign funds to the Concord AME Zion Church and a second $250 to
the Original Church of God. Both churches were vandalized with windows broken, as reported in a Shopper-News story by Betty
Bean on Feb. 27. Pastors for the Concord AME Zion Church are the Rev. Elaine Steele and the Rev. Stephen Steele. Alan Jones is
the pastor of the Original Church of God. The Rev. Elaine Steele said, “We’ve received an outpouring from the community of donations and well wishing through the media. We’re very, very thankful. It truly would have been a stuggle had we not received the help.” The windows were replaced last week. Fourteen of 16 were broken. Photo by T Edwards of TEPHOTOS.com
William “Bo” Pierce has fi gured out what he wants to be when
he grows up – a state legislator. He’s a candidate in the Repub-
lican Primary for Knox County’s new 89th district seat.
Qualifying deadline April 5 for state primaries
With a sigh of relief, most folks thought incessant electioneering was over.
Wrong!
Next up are the state and federal primaries for the House and Senate. U.S. Rep. John Duncan Jr. has drawn some no-name foes.
Gloria Johnson, who’s never seen a ballot she doesn’t want to be on, has picked up a petition to run for the District 13 seat be-ing vacated by Rep. Harry Tindell.
The qualifying deadline is noon Thursday, April 5. Already several people have picked up and even re-turned qualifying petitions.
The usual suspects will probably win without much sweat: Rep. Joe Armstrong, Democrat, District 15; Rep. Bill Dunn, Republican, Dis-trict 16; Rep. Steve Hall, Republican, District 18; and Rep. Harry Brooks, Repub-lican, District 19.
The fun will start, though, in the newly creat-ed District 89 – over in the Karns and Hardin Valley area – where four people al-ready have picked up a peti-tion and others are rumored to be interested.
Perhaps the most intrigu-ing candidate is the blue-eyed Bo Pierce, longtime director of the Knox County Housing Authority, expert on the late Cas Walker, and eager participant in Andy Griffi th Show reprisals.
Bo has never run for of-fi ce. He emailed the picture at right with a note: “Barney is running. Win with Fife!”
There’s a long time to fl esh out the issues and fi nd out who all the candidates are, but for now, Bo Pierce is in the room and running for the House.
Others who have picked up petitions for District 89 are Democrat Shelley S. Breeding and Republicans Roger Kane and Joey Mc-Culley.

Moxley retreatsWork done
at KTSCCynthia Moxley, well
known, high powered Knoxville public relations guru, has completed her work for the Knoxville Tourism and Sports Cor-poration. Her firm handled damage control during the Gloria Ray resignation. Kim Davis handles media for the corporation now.
Meanwhile, KTSC is working on how to struc-ture its search for a re-placement for Ray as well as filling several vacancies on the current board.
With Mayor Tim Bur-chett’s urging, the county has an audit underway on KTSC which could reveal more inappropriate expen-ditures from the Ray days and may underscore need for more reform. The next KTSC meeting is 8 a.m. Tuesday, March 27, at its headquarters in the Glo-ria Ray Building on Gay Street. It is open to the public.
It will be months before a new person is chosen to replace Ray. You can count on a different pay package this time with full discus-sion at the board meeting where the decision will be made. It truly seems to be a new day at KTSC, but the final answer will lie with the new CEO decision and the process by which it happens.
Mitt Romney won Ha-waii and American Samoa but lost Alabama and Mis-sissippi the same day to Rick Santorum, which gave him major bragging rights. However, when it comes to delegates, Romney was actually ahead with 42 for Romney, 38 for Santorum and 23 for Gingrich.
It is hard to see how
Romney loses the GOP nomination at this stage despite the success which Santorum is having. It does guarantee that the primary process continues to late spring or summer. Will Santorum and Gin-grich backers rally to Rom-ney in November?
For one of the few times, Tennessee was a battle-ground state even if briefly. The presidential primary here saw strong activity by all four Republican candi-dates which is one reason the primary was created by the Legislature in 1972. Tennessee will not be a battleground state in No-vember with the president unlikely to carry the state.
Greenways co-or-dinator Donna Youngretired from her position with the city last fall, and her successor still has not been chosen. But, don’t be alarmed, as Mayor Made-line Rogero’s spokesperson Jesse Mayshark assures me an announcement is not far off.
Seventeen persons ap-plied for the job and five were interviewed by the Recreation Department. Former City Council mem-ber Charlie Thomas was not among those apply-ing despite reports that he might apply.
Whoever is hired has lots of work and advo-cacy to maintain the level of activity and enthusi-asm which Donna Young displayed daily. Howev-
er, with Mayor Rogero’s pledge to make Knoxville a green city, the new per-son should have support at the highest level. One obvious goal will be to add new miles of greenways each year as well as plant-ing trees on city property to keep current with those which die annually or were destroyed by storms.
Rogero attended Young’s retirement party at Ijams while she was still a can-didate, which shows her personal high regard for Young as well as her sup-port for an active green-ways program.
Former Gov. Win-fi eld Dunn contacted me recently after reading my column on my lunch with Bill Jenkins. Dunn gently pointed out my er-ror in saying that Jenkins was the only Dunn cabinet member still living.
As Mark Twain (para-phrase) once said, reports of the demise of several others are premature.
Still around and well are Ted Welch and Jerry Adams, both former fi-nance commissioners; Lee Smith, deputy to the governor; Jane Hardaway, former personnel commis-sioner; Pat Choate, former economic and develop-ment commissioner; and Richard Treadway, for-mer mental health com-missioner; as well three top aides: Ralph Griffith, former press secretary; Leonard Bradley, former policy aide; and Knoxvil-lian Frank Barnett, former aide and later governor of American Samoa.
Glad all are still with us after service which started 41 years ago in 1971 when Dunn became the first Re-publican governor in 40 years. He paved the way for three more GOP gov-ernors afterward, includ-ing Knoxville’s own Bill Haslam.
Marvin West
Tyler Bray remakeI do believe public rela-
tions people are creating a new and better Tyler Bray.
His recent trip to New-port to visit Brandon Wil-liams was a stroke of ge-nius. Well, a small stroke.
No, I don’t think it was Tyler’s idea to check on the 5th grader who was chewed up last summer by a pit bulldog. It didn’t just happen that reporters and photographers picked that day to visit Bridgeport El-ementary School.
It was scripted. It was good. Tyler and Brandon needed that. Tyler may have needed it more than Brandon.
Maybe you have noticed a difference of opinion about Tyler Bray. Some think he is less than com-mitted to Tennessee foot-ball. His record is confus-ing. He has enough natural talent to riddle Montana and Buffalo but the team he leads has not beaten the big boys. No, not one.
Critics see immaturity. They have a list. They have not forgiven that lackadai-sical performance in the Kentucky disaster. Outgo-ing seniors were fussy. It was rumored that Tyler wasn’t interested in anoth-er second-rate bowl game. There are now whispers of academic problems.
Others see Tyler Bray as the brightest spot in two losing seasons. As Tennes-see rises from rags to riches this fall, or at least returns to respectability, Tyler will
be a national story, maybe an All-American. There are encouraging reports of rededication. Some worry that he will leave early for the NFL.
Without knowing for sure what he is, if I were Jim Chaney coaching Tyler Bray, he and I would watch the first installment of the Leaders series, the terrific DVD from the magicians at the Vol Network.
When Heath Shuler says “being a Tennessee quar-terback changes your life forever,” I would push the pause button and we’d talk roots.
Back in boyhood, Shul-er’s dad told him how great was Condredge Holloway as a Tennessee quarter-back. The Artful Dodger, gutty guy, made seemingly impossible plays. It was Holloway who came out of the hospital X-ray room and hurried back to the arena to rejoin the fight against UCLA.
And when Heath made it to Neyland Stadium, there was Condredge, staying after practice to help the newcomer improve his skills.
With the DVD running again, there is old Vol Dewey Warren, the origi-nal Swamp Rat, saying “a lot of kids would give any-thing to play quarterback at Tennessee.”
Dewey played as if it mattered. To complete a pass, he would stand tall against any rush and take whatever hit was coming. He was tough and clutch.
And there on the Lead-ers DVD is Pat Ryan saying “a lot of great quarterbacks have come through here and just being a part of that is special.”
So said Peyton Manning.
“My dad tutored me on Tennessee history.”
Archie could tie it all together, from Warren to Bubba Wyche to old room-mate Bobby Scott to Jim Maxwell to Condredge to Randy Wallace to Jimmy Streater.
He may have missed Steve Alatorre but not Alan Cockrell or Tony Robinson or Jeff Francis or Andy Kelly.
“I saw Andy win a Sugar Bowl in New Orleans,” said Peyton.
The most famous quar-terback knows where he fits in the chronology – Shuler to Manning to Tee Martin to Casey Clausen to Eric Ainge to Jonathan Crompton.
“There is a great his-tory of Tennessee quar-terbacks,” said Manning. “I am proud to be a part. When young people ask, I tell them that if they get a chance to play quarterback at Tennessee, to jump at it. There is nothing like it.”
Thanks, Tyler, for giving the kid some time. Did you get all that about being a Tennessee quarterback? Marvin West invites reader reaction. His address is [email protected].

HISTORY AND MYSTERIES | Dr. Jim Tumblin
‘The Watch-Dog of the
County Treasury’
Alfred Buff at
(1840-1908)Alfred Buffat, son of Pierre Fran-
cois and Sylvia Tauxe Buffat, was born in Aigle, Canton of Vaud, Swit-zerland, on Dec. 8, 1840, but moved with his parents to Knox County in 1849. Pierre bought 300 acres near Spring Place (off Loves Creek Road). Always industrious, he farmed the land and, by 1861, had constructed a large grist mill on the property which would eventually prove to be quite profi table.
Alfred was the eldest of the nine Buffat children, of whom the fi ve youngest were born in Knox County. He attended the public schools and supplemented his education by inde-pendent study of arithmetic, gram-mar, history, philosophy and chem-istry. His father placed him in charge of the mill during his teen years.
He was 21 when the Civil War began and desired to enlist in the Confederate Army. However, the military authorities considered the mill to be a vital resource to the community and he was exempted. During the Confederate occupa-tion (1861-1863), Buffat’s fl our and meal were impressed for the army, the fl our at 20 cents a pound (Con-federate money). At one point, Gen. Joe Wheeler’s cavalry seized a con-siderable amount of local wheat and brought it to the mill to be ground. In late 1863, after the Siege of Knoxville and occupation by the Union, Buffat was paid 14 cents per pound for fl our and one dollar a peck for meal.
The mill survived the war in modest fi nancial condition, and, when the war ended in April 1865, Alfred was taken into partnership with his father.
On Sept. 14, 1865, Alfred Buf-fat married Elisa Bolli (1842-1925). Her father, C. Edouard Bolli, was born in Paris, France, and her
mother, Elise Porta Bolli in Laus-anne, Switzerland. Edouard went to Pernambuco (now Recife), Brazil, as a young man, where he engaged in the wholesale dry goods business. Later, he was named Swiss Consul to Brazil. In 1853, when his health failed, he decided to come to Ten-nessee, where his sister-in-law and her husband, Cecile and Theodore Chavannes, were already living.
Edouard Bolli, Elisa’s father, bought a 265-acre farm six miles out Clinton Pike. He died after only six months in Knoxville, leaving her mother to raise their fi ve children and an adopted niece and nephew. A cousin came and helped with the farming for two years but afterward the boys and the hired hands plant-ed and harvested the crops.
Elisa was the third of the fi ve children and was 21 years old when Gen. Ambrose Burnside’s Union troops arrived in Knoxville on Sept. 1, 1863. David Babelay’s thorough history of the Swiss families in Knox County, “They Trusted and Were Delivered” (1988), contains Elisa’s interesting journal kept be-fore and during the Civil War titled, “Some recollections of my child-hood days and incidents in my life during the Civil War.”
Indicating her sentiments about the confl ict, she wrote this in her journal on Sept. 1, 1863:
Yesterday was the fi rst of Sep-tember. Long shall it be remem-bered among us! It was the day when we beheld for the fi rst time our most dreaded foes, the Yan-kees! So long expected throughout East Tennessee! We were all in our rooms resting as the day was warm when sister Adele called us to the window. There was a cloud of dust on the road; presently we saw small troop of cavalry riding by at full speed. We remained breathless, what could it be? Was it the enemy?
Alfred Buff at (1840-1908) and
Elisa Bolli Buff at (1842-1925).
He was a prosperous miller,
school director and member
of the County Court, and was
known as the “Watch-Dog of
the County Treasury.” Elisa kept
a detailed journal during the
Civil War. Photos courtesy C.M. Mc-
Clung Historical Collection
The Buff at Mill, located at Spring Place on Loves Creek Road, operated from
1861 to 1926, when it was demolished.
Following the Siege and the Bat-tle of Fort Sanders on Nov. 29, 1863, Elisa’s entry of Dec. 5 indicated how desperate conditions had become with the scarcity of food and ab-sence of law and order:
Alas, has it come to this? The troops are leaving (Gen. Long-street’s Confederate Army) and we are left in the hands of the tyrants. Oh, why did they come? They were all so confi dent of taking Knoxville, but after skirmishing every day, they see it is useless, and leave. What a triumph for our enemies, who are well fortifi ed and expect-ing reinforcements daily. Things are a great deal worse than before.
After the war, the young mar-ried couple moved into the home of Alfred’s parents. The Buffat Milling Co. prospered and became one of the largest in the county and Alfred and Elisa were able to build their own four-room frame house near the mill. With their infant son, they moved into the house in 1868 and,
by 1880, they had built a second story. The nine-room house now ac-commodated the eight children who would eventually bless the union.
In 1882, Alfred was elected a school director for the 2nd District and held the offi ce for six years. Af-ter only a year he was convinced that the schools needed a better system of management and a set of rules for governing. He made a careful study and proposed a plan to establish a graded school system and to select textbooks for the different grades. The graded system was soon adopt-ed throughout the county.
He was elected a Justice of the Peace in 1894 and became a mem-ber of the Knox County Quarterly Court, where he served for 12 years. Squire Buffat became known as “The Watch-Dog of the County Treasury” and, through his hon-esty and integrity, he guarded the county fi nances against graft and extravagance. He was then elected trustee and, after serving ably for
two years, he ran for a second term as an independent but was defeated.
Alfred, a faithful member and elder of Spring Place Presbyterian Church, died suddenly of a heart attack on Sept. 4, 1908, at age 67. Judge H.H. Ingersoll wrote this tribute:
The death of A. Buffat is a great public loss. He was the personifi -cation of peaceful patriotism and illustrated well how it is sweet and graceful to live for one’s country. He incarnated the maxim that a public offi ce is a public trust, and in the clouds of defeat he held aloft this banner. His last appeal to the people of Knox County was “If you won’t have me, don’t reject my principle.”
Elisa remained in her Spring Place home for another 16 years and died there on Feb. 26, 1925, at age 82. Alfred and Elisa are bur-ied in Spring Place Presbyterian Church Cemetery. In April 1926, the Buffat Mill was dismantled and Loves Creek Road was built directly across the property.

On the way to Jerusalem Jesus was going through the region between Samaria and Galilee. As he entered a village, ten lepers approached him. Keeping their distance, they called out, saying, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!” When he saw them, he said to them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went, they were made clean. Then one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, praising God with a loud voice. He prostrated himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him. And he was a Samaritan.
(Luke 17: 11-16 NRSV)
Think about it
I never thought I would say that I knew how Jesus felt in any given circum-stance, but … well, just let me tell you the story.
I was working the Ref-uge desk one day. One of our neighbors (of the femi-nine persuasion), who is experiencing homeless-ness, came in and asked for a haircut voucher. Her hair was thick and long and seemed to have a mind of its own.
Because we have a mu-tually beneficial agree-ment with a beauty school in town – we provide heads for their students to prac-tice on, and our neighbors get free haircuts – I wrote a haircut voucher, called the beauty school to make sure they had an opening

CROSS CURRENTS
and sent her on her way.The desk was busy as
usual, and I thought no more about it. A couple of hours later, she returned, smiling and sporting a new haircut. It wasn’t drasti-cally different from her previous look, but it was shorter and shaped.
“Look at me!” she ex-claimed. “Look what they did! I feel beautiful!!! I feel beautiful!!!”
Let freedom fl oatBalloons fl oat skyward at Grace Baptist Church as everyone yells, “freedom.” This was a surprise demonstration Pastor Ron
Stewart used to symbolize freedom gained with the release from emotional baggage that keeps people from fulfi lling their
God-given purpose. “Wave goodbye to whatever’s been holding you back,” he said. Musician Jeff Davis sang “Amazing Grace,
My Chains are Gone” as everyone watched the balloons disappear. Photos by T. Edwards of TEPHOTOS.com
Pastor Ron Stewart looks at the freedom balloon before
releasing it.
“You look beautiful,” I agreed, although, truth be told, it was her smile and her excitement that made her beautiful, far beyond the haircut.
“Thank you, thank you!” she said. Then she was out the door to show off her new look to everyone outside.
I couldn’t help thinking of the one man out of 10 who came back to thank Jesus for healing him.
Why? Because I have been working at the Ref-uge for almost two years, and – in my memory – only one other person has ever come back to thank us for helping. We are thanked, more often than not, when someone leaves the Ref-uge, but to make the effort to come back?
I told this story to a col-league, who suggested I consider the Biblical story of the other nine, and why it is we assume they were just ingrates. Why didn’t they come back to thank Jesus? Why do so many of our neighbors not come back especially to thank us for our help? Hard to say.
They may be grateful with all their hearts, but life beckons and they go on about their day. That is OK. They may not understand that, although we do what
we do because we want to help and not for their grati-tude, still, it is lovely to be thanked.
For someone to go out of her way, to share her joy, to let some of her exuber-ance spill over onto me was a blessing in itself! She felt beautiful! I wonder: did Jesus feel blessed by the one who thanked him? He must have, because the story made it into the Gos-pel of Luke.
Oh, and one other thing: the man who came back to thank Jesus was a Samari-tan – a foreigner, an outcast among the Jews, someone with less than no standing in the community.
Makes you think, doesn’t it?

Choreographer Nicole Jackson has been donating her time to work every day with the group. “She has done such a fabulous job,” said music director Caryn Marlowe. “We are all very excited about the dream ballet, and the four kids playing the leads (David Silverberg, Braxton Kiser, Sophia Veser and Hannah Gamble) have blown me away with how fast they are picking up the ballet, lifts and fi ght scenes.”
“Oklahoma” is scheduled to be performed April 18-21 at Karns High School.
A special guest recog-nized in the audience was Dorothy Tolson Storey, the acting secretary of the KHS Class of 1943. Her daughter is Kathy Hobson, secretary at Byington-Solway. Each time one of the members of the Class of 1943 passes away, a donation is made to the Karns choral program. Condolences are given to the family of Frances Lones Green who recently passed away, leaving 12 of the origi-nal 40 in the Class of 1943.
The Karns choral groups also performed at the J. B. Lyle Choral Festival at Pellissippi State Commu-nity College last week. Both the Karns High Ensemble and Advanced Mixed Cho-rus received the highest overall scores of 1’s receiv-ing superior rating plaques.

If you are contributing the maximum amount to your 401(k) or other employer-sponsored retirement plan each year, that’s good. And if you’re also “maxing out” on your Individual Retirement Account (IRA) annually, that’s even better. But what then? If you’re already fully funding your 401(k) and IRA, can you put away even more
for retirement? Should you?The answer to this last question is
almost certainly “yes” – because you could spend a long time in retirement. How long? Consider these statistics from the Society of Actuaries:
■ A man who’s reached age 65 in good health has a 50% chance of living 20 more years and a 25% chance of living to age 92.
■ A 65-year-old woman has a 50% chance of living to age 88 and a 25% chance of living to 94.
■ There’s a 50% chance that at least one member of a 65-year-old couple will live to 92 – and there’s a 25% chance at least one of them will reach age 97.Because you have a reasonably good chance of spending two, or even three, decades in retirement, you clearly need to accumulate substantial fi nancial resources before you retire. So, if you consistently reach the contribution limits on your 401(k) and IRA, you’re making a smart move, as both these vehicles offer the potential for tax-deferred earnings and a variety of investment choices. But if you can still afford to put away more money, or if your income level prevents you from contributing to a Roth IRA, you may want to look at these possibilities:
■ Life Insurance Retirement Plan – A Life Insurance Retirement Plan (LIRP) is essentially a life insurance policy that can potentially help you generate tax-advan-taged income during your retirement years. Until you begin taking withdraw-als, the cash value of your policy has the potential to grow tax deferred. Then, when you retire, you can take tax-free payouts from your principal. (After the entire principal is paid, payouts are treated as loans against the contract.) And your benefi ciaries will receive the balance of the death benefi t income tax free, minus any loans or loan interest.
■ Annuities – You might fi nd that a fi xed annuity can be an appropriate way to supplement your retirement income. Like a LIRP, a fi xed annuity’s earnings have the potential to grow on a tax-de-ferred basis. Also, fi xed annuities gener-ally offer some type of guaranteed rate of return over the life of the annuity con-tract. And perhaps most importantly, you can structure your annuity to provide you with an income stream you can’t outlive. (Keep in mind, though, that annuities are generally more appropriate for investors who are at least 45 years old.)
While you can certainly get some key benefi ts from a LIRP and a fi xed annuity, you need to fully understand all aspects of these investment vehicles and make sure they are suitable for your situation and individual needs. Consequently, before investing, consult with a fi nancial professional.
But don’t wait too long. By preparing for your retirement well ahead of time, you can boost your chances of enjoying the type of “golden years” lifestyle that you’ve envisioned.

Taylor would make a great companion
for an older person; someone who is
home a lot and has time to show him
love and patience – he is a little unsure
of the humane race, in the past they have not been kind to him. It may take a while for him to warm up but once he does he will be a friend for life.
Not good with small children. Taylor is about 4-years-old.
Little man Connor, about 6-years-old is a Golden mix. He enjoys playing with the other dogs in his foster home but is probably best suited as an only dog. He enjoys walking, and still needs to get a little weight off . He has come a long, long way since he fi rst entered the program after surviving a Meth Lab explo-sion. Good with cats and children.
Hershey Bear, a 4-year-old retriever mix, would make a wonderful partner for someone who likes the outdoors. He is a fun loving dog who would do best as the only dog; he is rather a clown. He would greatly benefi t from attending obedience classes.

Parkwest dispatcher gives shirt off his backWhen Parkwest Medical Center
dispatcher Eric Saye met a dis-traught woman near the hospital’s front entrance, he didn’t think twice about giving her the shirt off his back – literally.
“I was taking a break and had decided to get a little exercise. So I walked up to the front entrance, and I noticed this lady kind of peeking into the gift shop,” Saye recounted. “As she turned, I no-ticed there was a distraught look on her face, like she’d lost her best friend. I asked if there was some-thing I could help her with, and she said that she’d messed up, that she thought her husband wasn’t getting discharged until the next day and had taken her husband’s clothes home to wash them but now they were ready to discharge him and he didn’t have any clothes to put on.”
Instinctively, Saye then did what he thought “anybody” would do – he offered her the shirt he was wearing.
Saye downplays his act of generosity, saying he’d “expectanybody would do the same for me.”
What prompted Saye to act in such a generous manner? Twothings, Saye said: (1) the Park-west philosophy and (2) his up-bringing.
“As an employee of Parkwest, I know what our philosophy is,” heexplained. “I try to live up to that standard and wanted to let her know that because I am ‘well treat-ed’ by Parkwest I can pass it alongand treat her well, that it makes me proud to be a member of Park-west. That’s my understanding of our philosophy, and that was how my mama raised me.”
When he received an email from Becky Boyd, volunteer ser-vices coordinator, recognizing his generosity, he forwarded it tohis mother. “Mom said she was so proud of me,” said Saye. “I told her that I had two good teachers –Mom and Dad.”
Parkwest dispatcher
Eric Saye received
his favorite golf shirt
back, along with a nice
thank-you card.
“I had two shirts on, and I asked her if she thought he could fi t into this shirt, and she said it looked a little small but it was worth a shot,” Saye said. “She was saying that she hated to take it, but I just told her, ‘Don’t worry about it. Just bring it back if you can.’ It was one of my favorite golfi ng shirts.”
The next day, Saye got a call from the volunteers at the Infor-mation Desk, telling him that a lady had come by and dropped off a shirt for him. In addition to the shirt, she left a nice thank-you card.
Parkwest Medical Center remains on the forefront of diagnosing and treating disease with the most
advanced technology available…those who entrust their healthcare to us demand nothing less.
But technology alone isn’t enough to bring healing and comfort to patients and families.
True healthcare begins with something less expensive, non-invasive and pain free. It’s called listening.
At Parkwest…listening is state-of-the-art.

To the Staff at Parkwest,
I have just spent the last week of 2011 in Parkwest MC, diagnosed with the worst news I’ve ever had to hear, multiple myeloma. The reason I want to write this letter is: from the doctors, nurses, janitors, receptionist, etc. – all in all, everyone that I have dealt with at Parkwest has been outstanding. I have had two surgeries and my husband has had surgeries there also. We have always had such excellent care and kindness. But this time around meant so much to me because I have never been this scared in my life. People like to write about their complaints and forget to let you all know all the right things that you all do.
There were nurses that soothed me and helped me so much that I could not believe how great they were. My room number was 264 and the No. 1 nurse was named Addie. Unfortunately, I never got her last name. Nurses like her need an extra pat or fi ve on the back. Her excellent care and concern is something I have never come close to ever experiencing. Nurses named Pam, Angie T., Hannah and Tina were also very good. I have had bad experiences in another hospital and had actually lost my faith in nurses, doctors and hospitals. But Parkwest has restored my faith that people that are supposed to help us in our times of need are still out there.
I realize that it’s no coincidence that everything works that well and there has to be good management from above. I have a long road ahead of me with this cancer but have faith that my best interest will be looked out for at your facility.
I hope that the nurses, especially Addie, know how much they did for me and my family. My husband and I have been married 34 years and they treated him and my children with the greatest kindness and respect.
Thanks from the bottom of my heart. Unfortunately, I know I will be in and out of the hospital over a period of time, but I think I can bear it a little more because of the great care, kindness and respect I have received there.
Thank you,Elizabeth A. Neal
Oakdale, TN

The Cat Clinic in West Knoxville is currently car-ing for Bull’s-eye, a cat that was rescued by a woman when he walked up to her on the street and cuddled up against her leg. He got his name from the markings on his fur.
Now that he has been checked and deemed healthy by the veterinar-
Bull’s-eyeneeds a home
ian, he is ready to fi nd a permanent home. Although he would probably appre-ciate anyone interested in keeping him, Bull’s-eye has a unique personality and will fi t best with a family who doesn’t crowd him and who lets him be social on his terms. He is a very sweet cat but one who doesn’t like to be pushed into doing things or being held a lot. This may change with the right fam-ily, but he does like to make his own decisions.
Bull’s-eye has received a physical and vaccinations while at the Cat Clinic. He is neutered, has been de-wormed and has tested neg-ative for feline leukemia and FIV. Info: Cynthia or Brian at 531-2287.

Provision Physical Therapy, located within Provision Health and Well-ness, encourages people to call and find out more about the many programs they offer to address vari-ous health issues:
■ The Neck and Back Pain progam focuses on individual, evidence-based, manual (hands-on) therapy directed at joint and soft tissue structures. This program incorporates Sci-entifi c Therapeutic Exercise Progressions (STEP) which target specifi c small mus-cles and allow for increased stability and tissue healing.
■ Provision’s Sports Injury Program focuses on joint and soft tissue pathology and the underly-ing biomechanical deficits that may be contributing to continued irritation. Provi-sion therapists actively participate and compete in a multitude of sports, as this is one of their personal passions.
■ The Headache Program is directed at the underlying cause of the headaches due to tension, upper neck dysfunction, and postural problems. A com-prehensive, evidence-based approach is taken, and multiple treatment modali-ties are ultimately useful in
alleviating symptoms. ■ Post-Operative
Rehabilitation Pro-grams are specific to the surgery and adminis-tered under the referring physician’s guidance. All are directed at restoring pain-free movement, func-tion and optimized return to activity. Education on the specific surgery and anatomy is paramount, as is understanding healing guidelines for both the protective phase and the return to activity phase of rehabilitation.
■ General Condi-tioning Programs are directed at improving func-
tion after a medical event (surgery, cancer treatment, and specific disease related conditions). These pro-grams focus on optimizing function through moni-tored exercise training. Cardiovascular function and patient mobility, for a required job or activity of daily living, are primary focus areas.
Other programs are avail-able to address arthritis, joint pain, post-cancer treat-ment, and more. For addi-tional information on these or other programs with Provision Physical Therapy, please call 865-232-1415 or visit provisiontherapy.com.
Since we began helping people live healthier, happier lives a year-and-a-half ago, we have been part of the many exciting new things going on at the Provision Health Alliance Campus (PHA) at Dowell Springs. The PHA campus providers all share a common interest in developing new, innovative, comprehensive healthcare solutions that make major improvements in patient care and outcomes. Whether it is driving the latest research on radiopharmaceuticals that improve the diagnosis of cancer or helping people make lifestyle changes they never thought they could, we are excited to be a part of the healthcare solutions taking place on this campus. Because of that, we have decided to take on the Provision name. The Wellness Center at Dowell Spring is now Provision Health & Wellness, and though our name has changed, everything that enables us to help you live well is still the same. We look forward to continuing to serve you with effective programs and services aimed at helping you achieve and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
