By Sara BarrettWhen Brandon Pollock decides

to do something, he thinks big. Really big.

“To give people an idea of what to expect from the Hero Awards, I say they’re similar to the Oscars and the Grammys,” the Hardin Valley Academy senior said about a marketing class project he cre-ated to honor his grandfather.

When his grandfather, Gary Hobart Ferrell, began struggling with health issues, Brandon de-cided “to take the assignment and make it something worthwhile.”

Although his granddad had de-cades of service in the military, his positive outlook and attitude toward others while sick is what inspired Brandon the most.

“He was always the one making everyone else feel at ease. No mat-ter where he was – hospital rooms, waiting rooms, therapy centers …” said Brandon.

The plan was to accept nomina-tions from community members of folks who have inspired them in some way; those who have turned a negative situation into some-thing positive. A handful of people would be chosen from the nomi-nees, and they would be honored at an award ceremony.

In the beginning, Brandon met with a group of about 15 CEOs from local nonprofi t agencies to get as much advice as possible. He also sought guidance from his teacher, Tim Lee, and school prin-cipal Sallee Reynolds, who agreed to have the ceremony in the school auditorium. Members of the HVA Student Government Association also helped.

Volunteers went door-to-door asking for Hero nominations and received several donations of goods and services in the process.

By Wendy SmithKnox County Commission ap-

proved a $108,930 contract with McKinnon Construction Co. to connect sidewalks on Middle-brook Pike and Cedar Bluff Road at Monday’s meeting.

The county built the Cedar Bluff sidewalk and stopped it at Bob Gray Road, and the state built Middlebrook in stages, says Jim Snowden of Knox County Engi-

neering and Public Works. Some-how, the sidewalks never got con-nected.

The problem was brought to the county’s attention by Cedar Bluff apartment residents.

The project will add 1,200 to 1,300 feet of sidewalk, which will be six feet wide where possible. A crosswalk and pedestrian signal-ization will be added at the inter-section of the two roads.

Snowden says the project will enhance pedestrian connectiv-ity. Construction is anticipated to begin in mid-May and should be completed by the beginning of the school year.

Next up for Knox County Com-mission is the budget, with Mayor Tim Burchett expected to make his recommendations on Monday, May 11.

Five commissioners met in

Halls last week for a community meeting hosted by at-large com-missioners Ed Brantley and Bob Thomas.

Commissioner Dave Wright predicted a budget skirmish, say-ing, “I don’t think it will fall into place this time.”

The school board is request-ing new middle schools for Har-din Valley and Gibbs, as well as a $441.5 million operating budget.

Brandon about three months to make from paper mache, paint and glitter. Photo submitted

Creating the Hero Awards

“From the nominees, we chose Heroes of different race, age and area of town to represent the entire Knoxville community,” he said.

When Brandon called to ex-plain his plan, he was surprised when his granddad became upset. “He said a true hero doesn’t want to be recognized as such.

“I kind of developed my ideas more in that 60-second phone call than at any other time,” he said with a laugh. His grandfather died last June before he could see the plan come to fruition, but Brandon has a feeling he would be pleased.

“The Hero Awards are bigger than us, bigger than this article, bigger than the ceremony,” he said. “This vision is larger than HVA, Hardin Valley or West Knoxville. Maybe someone who sat in the au-dience was inspired and now they want to do something,” he said of the impact he hopes the Hero Awards will make on the commu-nity.

The first Hero Awards cer-emony was held April 10, with a VIP reception for the award recipients and their families, live music and swag bags. Short

videos were shown above the stage in which community mem-bers were interviewed about the impact the Heroes had made in their lives.

Pollock hopes to make this an annual event. He will attend col-lege this fall at Berea but plans to bring the Hero Awards with him.

“This is a project much needed in every city,” he said. When told that he will go on to do big things in life, he simply says, “There are big things to be done.”

By Anne Hart Anyone who has

ever fallen truly in love with a certain style or make of automobile has met their match in Knoxville artist and sculptor Clark Stewart.

Stewart, however, has taken his love for automobiles far beyond the imagination of most of us in a series of fantasy creations of classic cars he has crafted using everything from an old birch cutting board to scrap aluminum and even velvet.

Many of the cars will be on display starting Friday and continuing through the month of May at the District Gallery in Bearden.

A retired University of Tennessee professor of drawing and painting, Stewart says his love affair with automobiles began when he purchased a classic MGTC as a teenager.

“I took it apart to the last bolt and screw and put it all back together again.

‘No one could believe a 19-year-old could do that.”

Ah, but when we learn that the 19-year-old Stewart lived in California’s Newport Beach area, famous for its “muscle cars” of the ’60s and other classic beauties on four wheels, it all begins to make sense, for Stewart’s cars are as marvelous as those.

“Automata” is what he calls his fi gurative collection. It is colorful and amazing in every way. There are fantasy renditions of the Porsche, Jaguar, Bugatti, MG, Alfa Romeo and others.

None is true to the original. They are better. More colorful. More interesting. More beautiful in both design and craftsmanship. And they are fl awless. For if ever

a perfectionist existed, it is Clark Stewart.

An art collector himself, Stewart says the collection he and his wife, Judy, have amassed from around the world “is a collection of souls. Art represents the best part of people’s souls. Whatever concrete thing you make, that’s the best part of you. And nice cars have a soul to them.”

Stewart says he made the fi rst car “imagining I was designing in the ’30s, and when I fi nished, I thought, ‘That was fun,’ and I just kept on, and now I have all of these and a sketchbook full of ideas.”

During his 42 years at UT, Stewart created drawings and paintings that were shown in more than 200 exhibitions worldwide and are included in many private and museum collections.

If you’re a lover of motorcycles, don’t despair. Stewart is also. His classic Norton will be on display at the show, alongside the bright yellow fantasy Norton he sculpted.

The show opened with a reception April 25 and is open to the public.

“Cheering is a sport,” said Nita Jackson while keeping her eyes trained on several 11-year-old girls turning back handsprings across the gym fl oor. “It’s tough and it’s dangerous. If you can fl y through the air doing back handsprings and lift girls bigger than you over your head … you’re an athlete in my opinion. It takes grit,

determination and a lot of bravery to be a cheerleader.”

More than 30 cheer-

hopefuls displayed their determination at Jackson’s cheer clinic at Karns Mid-dle School April 18 to learn cheers, jumps, chants and dance moves that will give them a leg up on the compe-tition during tryouts for the 2015/2016 cheer squad.

Jackson, who teaches physical education at Karns Middle School, is picking

up the pompoms as the new cheer coach. With all but four cheerleaders moving on to high school, she plans to rebuild the squad from the ground up, adding 12-16 girls.

But open spots don’t mean easy spots, cautioned Jackson, who said, “Just be-cause there are several spots available, don’t think mak-ing the squad is a slam dunk. There are about 30 girls here now and there will be more at tryouts. Some come from Premier Sharks or Diamond All-Star cheer and tumbling classes, so they’re already coming in pretty skilled. Competition is going to be tough, and I’m looking for the whole package.”

“We’re looking for leader-ship, someone that can get along. They don’t have to like everybody, but they do have to get along and treat each other with respect. The girls will need to be supportive of each other and understand that being a team is required to be effective.”

Jackson said she’s sure not coaching “for the mon-ey.” The girls make her hap-py. “They cheer me up on a

bad day.”Join the girls at Aubrey’s

Gift Idea!

Knox County Commis-sioner Amy Broyles knows − and understands − why few women run for offi ce. They’re busier than ever, and while many are perfect-ly comfortable raising mon-ey for schools or churches, they’re not comfortable asking for money for them-selves. Plus, they know that campaigns get ugly, and they don’t want to put their family in that position.

But issues that directly affect women, like equal pay, won’t be addressed if women themselves don’t step up, she says.

“We have to be the ones sitting in those chairs.”

That’s why Broyles is planning a campaign school for women who are interest-ed in running for offi ce or becoming involved in cam-paigning for a female can-didate. A date has yet to be set, but it will be a weekend

Amy Broyles

Broyles plans campaign school for women

in August, she says.Classes, on topics like

messaging and fundrais-ing, will be taught by fe-male offi ceholders she’s met through the National As-sociation of Counties and the National Foundation for Women Legislators. They are from different parties, and women from all parties, or none at all, are welcome to participate.

She is currently seeking sponsorships so that the school will be free of charge.

When women choose to run for offi ce, it’s usually because they’re angry about

Women candidates face challenges, and criticism, that men don’t face. During her fi rst campaign, Broyles was surprised to be asked how she would manage her family responsibilities while serving on commis-sion. Men don’t get asked such questions, she says.

something, she says. Broyles ran for County Commission seven years ago because she was angry about term lim-its. Someone tried to dis-courage her from running because a man, who could fi nance his own campaign, was willing to run.

She was active in the community, but didn’t know the man. She decided she was a better candidate, in spite of having a 12-week-old baby at the time.

While Broyles moved forward without wondering if she was prepared, most women say they don’t know enough to serve in an elect-ed offi ce.

“Women always seem to think there’s something more they need to do to run for offi ce.”

Men, who are used to see-ing men in offi ce, are more likely to see themselves as qualifi ed, she says.

Question: So, how long before Butch does some-thing?

How long before Butch does something?campus rock.

Answer: He already has done something. He has ad-justed the football culture to mostly positive, upgraded talent and depth and set a world record for attention to details – including academ-ic achievement and unifi ca-tion of the old guard.

In mod language, Ten-nessee is trending. There is measurable improvement. His players are bigger and faster. They look stronger in the team photo.

These preliminaries have been expensive, a few million here, a few more there, raises all around, but, fortunately, Butch has enhanced ticket sales and perhaps inspired an uptick in giving. He is one heck of

a salesman. By my count, he is undefeated in press con-ferences and interviews. He says a lot – with passion.

What the Volunteers did to Iowa, slow or lethargic, generated an overfl ow of or-ange optimism. Many think Tennessee will win the SEC East.

No previous Butch result substantiates this. His two-year record is 12-13. He is 5-11 in the SEC. He and his people have twice upset South Carolina. He lost to the worst Florida team in a decade. His team squeaked through at Vanderbilt to earn bowl eligibility. Lest you forget, the Commo-dores, 17-point underdogs, created far too much ten-sion.

Butch said: “This game summarized our season of adversity and great resil-iency.”

Butch is articulate.Just as he was building,

several young people who were once recruiting prizes pulled up roots and went away. OK, that could have been a left-handed bless-ing in disguise. Newcom-ers may be better than the dearly departed. For sure they will be younger and less experienced.

So, when will Butch do something really exciting?

Coming up usually takes more time than going down. Be reminded that major repairs were necessary. Once a program falls, ri-vals stomp all over it and do

their best to make bad mat-ters worse.

“Hobnail boot on the neck” is a vivid description.

Consider the Bill Battle decline of the 1970s. John Majors came home to fi x it. There was no brick by brick back then but what we got was 4-7, 5-5-1, 7-5 and 5-6, generally worse than what Battle was doing.

Symbolic restoration appeared in the fi fth year, capped by the not so glam-orous trip to the drab, cold, windy Garden State Bowl. Some of you missed New Jersey. I remember it well. I ran out of gas on a scenic drive.

Erosion under Battle was pleasant compared to the Lane Kiffi n-Derek Dooley

slide and crash. Butch in-herited a mess. His imme-diate predecessor didn’t re-cruit offensive linemen.

Butch has done well re-building bridges, mending fences and pointing the pro-gram in the proper direc-tion. Practice fi eld challeng-es through a public address system, the noisy stadium DJ and student apprecia-tion day are not the Neyland way but Butch clearly has his own brand of leadership.

I continue to withhold judgment on player devel-opment and strategy. When Tennessee defeats Alabama, I’ll have more to say.(Marvin West invites reader reaction. His

address is westwest6@netzero.com)

Women also have to en-dure comments about their appearance that men man-age to avoid.

While Knox County and the city of Knoxville have had numerous female of-fi ceholders over the past couple of decades, the trend has reversed. Broyles isn’t sure why, but she’s heard of the same thing happening in communities across the country.

She is the sole woman on Knox County Commission. Brenda Palmer, who serves under the city’s fi rst female

mayor, is the sole woman on City Council.

In spite of the challenge of getting there, Broyles has loved her time in offi ce. She feels that she’s been able to affect positive change dur-ing her time on commission, even if it didn’t directly re-sult in policy change.

She won’t run again in 2016 because she’ll have been in offi ce for eight years. The people who are most disappointed are her three daughters, she says.

“They’re really proud of me.”

Clarifi cation: I suppose, in this case, Butch is a col-lective noun encompassing Tennessee coach Lyle Allen Jones Jr. , a cluster of highly regarded on-fi eld assistants, dozens behind the scene, af-fl uent fans who loan jets and enthusiastic students, some who run and jump and hit people and others who paint recruiting names on the

Participants in a 12-week, single-blind study used Formula 1 twice per day (once as a meal and once as a snack) with a reduced-calorie diet and a goal of 30 minutes of exercise per day. Participants followed either a high-protein diet or a standard protein diet. Participants in both groups lost about 8.5 pounds.

Dave Hill has resigned from the staff of the Metro-politan Planning Commis-sion (MPC). Likely this was done prior to the new direc-tor coming in. Hill, a high-paid city aide not retained by Mayor Rogero, was hired at MPC by former director Mark Donaldson.

Cumberland Avenue merchants who overwhelm-ingly opposed the current construction along Cumber-land Avenue at a cost of over $20 million wonder why Mayor Rogero never com-ments on the troubles being created by the project. She leaves explanation to little-known subordinates such as Anne Wallace.

Bob Whetsel, who is working the project, re-tires from the city in Octo-ber. Wallace will likely re-place him. Whetsel will be missed.

One would think Wallace

Hill leaves MPC ahead of new director

VictorAshe

would urge folks to visit the area during construction to have lunch or dinner and do business with those who have lost business due to this initiative from Rogero. Perhaps Burchett will do it if Rogero continues to stay away. He was the active one a few years ago on Chapman Highway, and Cumberland Avenue is in Knox County.

It is surprising that city council has not spoken out on this economic stress for merchants. Even the two council members most likely to question a Rogero project have been quiet on this one.

Sandra Clark

Nick Della Volpe declined to sign on to the Rogero campaign as a host for her recent fundraiser. Rogero, who quietly opposed Della Volpe in 2013, is this year supporting all four coun-cil members seeking their second and fi nal term – in return for them all backing her. All for one and one for all is the motto.

■ All three perma-nent city council employees are departing the city this fall. They are city recorder Cindy Mitchell, auditor Melissa Peters and secre-tary Susan Wilson. Mitchell leaves in September, fol-lowed by Peters in October and Wilson in November.

The three represent over 100 years of service to the city. The three are close friends, and once one left, the others did not want to remain. All had in their years to secure immediate

pension benefi ts.Mitchell was hired by

then-vice mayor Bernice O’Connor as assistant city recorder in 1979, which rec-ommendation was approved by a council vote. She be-came recorder in 1981. She has served with six mayors and eight vice mayors. She served as president of the Tennessee Association of Municipal Clerks and Re-corders and received in 2011 their Distinguished Service Award. She also received the Master Clerk Designa-tion in 2009 from the Inter-national Institute of Munic-ipal Clerks and Recorders.

■ Vice Mayor Nick Pavlis is leading the search to replace the three. The po-sition of city recorder has been posted. Serving on the committee to interview ap-plicants are Pavlis, fi nance director Jim York and civil service director Vickie Hat-

fi eld. Hatfi eld is best known for having pushed Sam An-derson off the city civil ser-vice board due to residency questions.

Surprising here is that this is not a council-only committee, as the position being fi lled is uniquely a councilmanic one. Since the post has not been fi lled in 35 years, no one is quite sure what the procedure is. It’s unclear if council will vote on it as a body. The named person will achieve civil service status a few months after being hired. This is similar to tenure, making it diffi cult for future coun-cils to make a change if they wished to do so.

■ The city pension board deadlocked on April 10 on what cost city em-ployees must bear to buy back prior military ser-vice. Michael Paseur, who has a good attendance re-

cord, was absent due to his daughter’s illness.

The city charter pro-vides that employees with military service can count it toward their pension. How would Paseur have voted? Will the board redo the vote if all members are present? The two Rogero appointees split on this issue, with Rog-ero casting an anti-veteran vote.

■ City council mem-ber Finbarr Saunderswill have a fundraiser for his re-election May 6 at the architectural offi ce of fel-low council member Duane Grieve on Emory Place. Marshall Stair has sent out a letter seeking donations.

All are unopposed at present. Qualifying dead-line for mayor, city judge and council is noon June 18.Victor Ashe is a former mayor of Knox-

ville. Contact him at: 865-523-6573 or

Gibbs area residents have battled for 20-plus years for a new middle school in the community. During that time a brand-new elementa-ry school was built at Gibbs and Holston Middle School, where Gibbs-area kids are zoned, was remodeled.

Gibbs residents showed up across Knox County to lobby for a middle school when Superintendent Jim McIntyre held public meet-ings. No other community has pushed so hard for so long. It’s safe to say, folks who don’t live in Gibbs are puzzled.

What’s the problem?First, our middle schools

are in the wrong places.

Gibbs Middle School is a ‘forever’ issue

We’ve got a line of three from Vine to Holston to Carter without the popula-tion to support them. The answer: close one.

But wait, that’s what got us to this point.

Gibbs middle school kids had a wing on the high school before the decision to close it and Spring Hill Mid-dle School and rezone the

kids to Holston (which had been a high school). Three high schools – Holston, Rule and South – were closed at the same time. Thoughtful people wanted to close both Fulton and Austin-East as well and build a compre-hensive magnet high school downtown on the World’s Fair site.

But since we tend to make school zoning deci-sions based on which com-munities squeal the loud-est, A-E and Fulton were spared. Now both are op-erating below capacity and kids are beating down the doors to get into the L&N STEM Academy at World’s Fair Park.

We’ve got spaces without kids on the east side and kids without spaces on the west side.

Second, Gibbs advocates argue that the lack of a mid-dle school holds back the ar-ea’s growth. Nobody’s talk-ing about Northeast Knox Utility District’s lack of a sewer system (wastewater is treated by HPUD) stifl ing growth.

Commissioner Dave Wright says the school system’s study was f lawed by inaccurate population figures from the Metro-politan Planning Commis-sion. He says Hardin Val-ley’s numbers were just a year old, while the North-

east Sector Plan was out-of-date by some 12 years. MPC is currently updating that plan.

Third, and this is the 800-pound gorilla. Who’s going to pay for a new school at Gibbs? The school board chose not to fund it through its capital plan. It’s doubtful Mayor Tim Bur-chett will advocate borrow-ing money for Gibbs and two other new schools also requested.

That puts it on Knox County Commission to vote to build and to fund. If that path is taken it must come with a property tax increase to retire the associated debt, which could easily sur-

pass $60 million for three schools.

So the school board votes 5-3 for a new Gibbs middle, but has no way to fund it. The school sys-tem’s own study indicates there’s no current need. And the mayor is trying to pay down debt, not incur more.

Dave Wright has friends on the commission, but like-ly not enough to pass this proposal, especially without the mayor’s recommenda-tion. Burchett will present his budget on May 11. And the Gibbs community will fi ght on, win or lose, forever if it takes it to get a middle school.

Hardin Valley Academy held its fi nal signing day of the year April 15 on Spring National Signing Day. Ten athletes met in the auditorium and signed their commit-

ment to play sports in college.Numerous students, faculty and fam-

ily members watched from the audience and joined in the celebration afterward.

Episcopal School of Knoxville fi fth grader Sean Grace plans to recite at least 314 characters of Pi during the school talent show. “I know 400 solid,” he said.

The young scientist is impressing audiences with his knack for knowledge, in-cluding folks watching this year’s “You be the Chemist” challenge. Sean competed against students in grades 5-8 before qualifying for the national competition to be held in Philadelphia June 22.

Developed by the Chemi-cal Educational Foundation and sponsored locally by Dow Chemical, “You Be the Chemist” consists of rounds

Cutie ‘Pi’ excels in science

of question and answer tests.

Sean said he was shaking during the qualifying round against other fi fth grad-ers but took the next level against older students as a way to extend himself. He is studying for the nationals about 30 minutes a day, but says when the offi cial study guide comes out May 1 he’s

bumping that to an hour a day. He’s most nervous about balancing chemical equations in 15 seconds, a challenge that will appear at the national level.

When not competing, Sean’s favorite subject in school is math “obviously, science goes with it hand in hand,” he said. His favorite scientist is Dmitri Men-deleev who created the Pe-riodic Table of Elements. “I wouldn’t know 41 of the ele-ments if it weren’t for him,” he said.

Sean hopes to work at Oak Ridge National Labora-tory someday. That seems like a pretty good possibil-ity.

MILESTONE

By Cindy TaylorKayla June Nobbe has

been involved in Knoxville Children’s Theatre (KCT) for six years and 15 shows. She has performed, done makeup and been assis-

tant stage manager. Now the eighth-grader will take on the crucial role of stage manager when “Harriet the Spy” premieres in May.

“I love performing, but I really like this part of the-

Performing on and off the stageatre, too – being in con-trol,” said Kayla June. “You have to know how to do a lot more as stage manager.” She plans to direct and hopes to spend her working future involved in theater.

As stage manager, Kayla June is responsible for mak-ing things happen that the audience takes for granted, like lighting, music and stage positions. She says she is really impressed with newcomer to the KCT stage Quintin Rhodes, 11.

Quintin will make his KCT debut in “Harriet the Spy,” playing dual roles as Boy with Purple Socks and Fabio Dei Santi. “I want to be onstage just for the fun of it,” said Quintin. “It’s cool knowing the audience is watching you.”

Zack Allen, producing di-rector and founder, will di-rect “Harriet the Spy” which runs May 1- 17. The play is performed by 21 actors age 9-15.

By Carol ShaneNow that spring has fi -

nally arrived, some folks at Cedar Springs Presbyterian Church are gearing up for this summer’s mission trips.

For the past three years, they’ve sponsored pro-grams for Chinese families, both here and abroad.

Church members interact and share their faith with the families in two ways: a cultural-exchange camp in Knoxville, and a migrant-worker family camp involv-

ing CSPC youth and their families in China.

Mike and Kelli Stewart oversee the cultural-ex-change program, available to middle- and high-school-ers. “There are about 25 students from the Sìchuān province, along with two adult chaperones,” says Mike Stewart. “They are in the U.S. for a total of three weeks, with the fi rst two here in East Tennessee.”

Room and board are pro-vided by volunteer families

from Cedar Springs, who are each assigned two stu-dents as houseguests. Days are mostly spent at the church. Each day begins with a devotional based on a theme such as friendship or forgiveness, along with a relevant Bible verse. Then a guest speaker expands on the theme. Fun activities and games follow.

Students also go on vari-ous day trips around the re-gion. “We take them to Dol-lywood,” says Stewart, “and

Sacred Heart Cathedral rector Fa-ther David Boettner didn’t shy away from praying the “don’t rain on our parade” request, and he told the church-full of parishioners, dignitar-ies and guests of his prayer. His faith was rewarded. The rain began Sunday afternoon just as the groundbreaking ceremony for the new Sacred Heart cathedral had ended.

It was a grand and historic day for area Catholics, and dignitaries – both Catholic and not – came to help cel-ebrate the groundbreaking on a new, nearly $30 million cathedral.

The Cathedral of the Sacred Heart of Jesus is 59 years old and has been the home parish for the Diocese of Knoxville since 1988, when it served approximately 33,000 parishioners. Today, the number served by the dio-cese is nearing 70,000 Catholics. The new cathedral, scheduled to open Sep-

tember 2017, will double the seating capacity of the church to 1,000 and increase the worship space from 7,500 to 20,000 square feet.

In the lineup of dignitaries turn-ing over shovels of dirt were priests, Cardinals, football coaches, univer-sity presidents, mayors and fund-raising parishioners. In September, the church’s granite cornerstone will be taken to New York, where Bishop Richard F. Stika will ask Pope Francis, who will be on his visit to the U.S., to bless it.

When the new cathedral opens, the church’s current worship area will be renovated into an open space for the Sacred Heart Cathedral School and a meeting space for the parish.

Cardinal Justin Rigali came on his 80th birthday to help with the Mass that preceded the groundbreaking ceremony and to join the line of 19

who turned over shovels of dirt.Also included in the lineup were

Cardinal Timothy Dolan, archbish-op of New York; Cardinal William Levada; Bishop Stika; Bishop David R. Choby of Nashville; Father Boettner; Gov. Bill Haslam and wife Crissy, Knoxville Mayor Madeline Rogero, Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett, University of Tennessee President Joe DiPietro, University of Tennessee head football coach Butch Jones and wife Barb; Chancellor Deacon Sean Smith; Bruce Bosse of Merit Construc-tion; architects James McCrery of Mc-Crery Architects and Kelly Headden of BarberMcMurry Architects; Bruce Hartmann and Dugan McLaughlin.

Hartmann; and McLaughlin are chairs of the Sacred Heart Home Cam-paign. DiPietro and Butch and Barb Jones are honorary co-chairs of the cathedral development campaign.

of course they spend a day in the mountains. Sometimes they get to go on a hayride at Cades Cove.” Teens from Cedar Springs accompany their new friends, get to know them and share their spiritual life with them.

When the visitors leave East Tennessee, they head out for more adventures in New York City and Los An-geles.

The migrant-worker fam-ily camp takes place “just outside of Beijing,” says Stewart. “There are close to 100 families, all migrant workers.” Volunteers from CSPC – usually a few high school and college students,

Enoch is remembered for two things: he was the father of Methuselah (fa-mous for being the world’s oldest man, at age 969!) and for the fact that he did not die.

At least, that is how the Genesis account is under-stood. It is obviously sub-ject to interpretation. To say that “he was no more, because God took him” could as easily mean that he died.

The Bible says “Enoch walked with God.” We usually understand such a statement to mean that a person was obedient to God, that such a person was extraordinarily good. I think the writer of Gen-esis probably meant that, as well.

However, when I was a teenager, I heard an ex-planation of this passage that caught my imagina-tion, and it has stuck with me. I have no idea what commentator or preacher interpreted this passage, but here it is.

Enoch walked with God. Every evening. In the cool of the evening,

… Enoch walked with God; then he was no more, because God took him.

(Genesis 5: 24 NRSV)Ultimately we’re all just walking each other

home.(Ram Dass)

God and Enoch would take a stroll, and talk.

However, one eve-ning, they walked and talked longer and later than usual. And God said to Enoch, “Well, we are closer to my house than to yours. Why don’t you just come home with me?

So Enoch did just that. He went (as my grandfa-ther’s generation would say) to his “long home.” He went home to be with God.

When I was in high school, I had a voice teacher who taught me the song “I’ll Walk with God.”

The last phrase of Paul Francis Webster’s text for that lovely tune is “And I’ll never walk alone while I walk with God.”

Amen!

By Betsy PickleWith “Avengers: Age of Ultron”

scaring off all the competi-tion at the box offi ce this weekend, the summer games begin with its Thursday-night debut.

The com-petition for s u m m e r -movie dol-lars is al-ways fi erce, but “Age of Ultron” has an edge. It’s the follow-up to “The Avengers,” the third-highest-grossing movie of all time (after “Avatar” and “Ti-tanic”). And with positive reviews trumpeting its way, it sounds as though this assemblage of Marvel heroes will be drawing crowds for weeks, if not months.

After saving the world from intergalactic villainy in 2012’s “The Avengers,” comic-book superheroes Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), Captain America (Chris Evans), Thor

(Chris Hemsworth), Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson),

Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) et al. must deal with a hu-

man-made threat this time.

Ultron (voiced by James

Spader) was created as an artifi cial-intelligence p r o g r a m designed to keep peace in

the world, but his aspirations

transform him into a metal ma-

niac with a thirst for world domination.

Other villains making life interesting for the heroes include

Quicksilver (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) and Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen).

Also starring are Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, Don Cheadle as War Machine, Paul Bettany as Vision, Anthony Mackie as The Falcon and Hayley Atwell as Peggy Carter.

Joss Whedon returns as director and writer.

Captain America (Chris Evans)

and Thor (Chris Hemsworth) wrap

up a mission in Eastern Europe.

By Mystery DinerHidden away – yet vis-

ible from one of Knox-ville’s busiest streets – Chesapeake’s restaurant is worth the turns and fumbled directions it of-ten takes fi rst-timers to get there.

A part of the Copper Cellar family, Chesa-peake’s is a fi ne-dining seafood restaurant lo-cated on Henley Street – according to the post offi ce – but accessible only from Union Avenue in downtown Knoxville. GPS users should use the 600 Union Ave. address.

Leave navigation trou-bles at the door and em-brace the nautical East-ern seashore as you enter. Chesapeake’s is an open, warm restaurant that can be cozy or rambunctious, depending on your mood and party.

If you order anything other than seafood at Chesapeake’s – well, I just don’t even know what to do with you. Yes, the appetizer onion rings are good – until you compare them to the Spiced Blue Crab Fingers.

After a cup of really rich crab bisque, Mys-

tery Diner was tempted to look at the sandwich menu, which boasts a Maryland Crab Cake Sandwich and Fried Fish Sandwich (along with other non-seafood items, but we’ve already had this discussion.). In the end, the Broiled Seafood Combination just was too tempting and also made a good lunch the next day.

The Seafood Combina-tion is especially perfect for those of us who aren’t oyster fans. No need for substitutions when the platter has fresh fi sh, scal-lops, shrimp and a Mary-land crab cake. The entire combination is sprinkled with breadcrumbs, lemon and butter. Yummy.

If by some chance you skip the appetizers and the soup, indulge in one of the city’s best desserts: Slower Delaware Pie. The chocolate cookie crust is laced with Kahlua then fi lled with Mayfi eld’s cof-fee ice cream and topped with hot fudge sauce, toasted pecans and Chan-tilly cream.

Makes you wish your GPS could drive the car home.

is one of 13 build-

ings featured on

this weekend’s City

People Home Tour. Photo by Carol Shane

By Carol ShaneKnoxvillians have long enjoyed

home tours, usually in historic neigh-borhoods such as Fourth and Gill and Old North Knoxville. Old-house buffs can certainly fi nd plenty to look at – our city boasts hundreds of beautiful Victorian and Craftsman dwellings.

But how about some new homes in old spaces? Spaces that weren’t origi-nally meant to be residential?

Get ready for The City People Home Tour this weekend. Subtitled “Urban Spaces in Downtown Knoxville,” the tour includes 13 homes in 11 buildings.

Since its inception in 1985, the event has grown steadily. The fi rst tour was called “Two Hundred Years of Living in the Old City” and included popular continental restaurant Annie’s (now defunct) and an artist gallery.

Presented by downtown Knoxville organization City People in partner-ship with Knox Heritage, this year’s tour includes Gay Street, several con-necting side streets and beyond to the south side’s riverfront, as well as the north side’s Old City.

Developer David Dewhirst, who

owns several featured properties, says, “The City People Home Tour is the very best tool for downtown Knox-ville to illustrate to a curious public the uniqueness and pleasure of urban living.”

Included on the tour are: ■ The Commerce Lofts, 122 S.

Gay St. Built in the 1890s to support the growing Jackson Avenue ware-house district, it now holds 24 lofts and three commercial spaces.

■ White Lily Flats, 222 N. Cen-tral St. The original section of this building dates to 1885. The home of J. Allen Smith & Co., it has come to be known as the White Lily Building, af-ter the company’s most famous prod-uct, White Lily Flour. The brand was later bought by the J.M. Smucker Co., and the mill closed in 2008.

■ The Holston, 531 S. Gay St. Known as the Hope Brothers Build-ing, this 1898 structure started out housing a shoe store. In 1908, Hope Brothers Jewelers took up residence, operating as “Dealers in Rare Things and Fine Jewelry.”

■ JFG Flats, 200 W. Jackson Ave.

This fi ve-story structure was built in 1924 and has served as a JFG coffee roasting plant for most of its history. Founded in Morristown in 1882, the JFG company also offered tea, mayon-naise and peanut butter.

■ Gallery Lofts, 402 S. Gay St. Constructed after 1897’s “Million Dol-lar Fire,” which destroyed this entire block, the building was home to the McNulty Grocery and Dry Goods Co. Its lower fl oors are now the home of Mast General Store.

■ Emporium Lofts, 112 S. Gay St. Built in 1902 as the new home of Sterchi Brothers Furniture Store, it now holds residential and commercial spaces. One of the unique features of the building is that it retains access to underground Gay Street.

The City People Urban Homes Tour takes place from 5:30 to 8 p.m. Friday, May 1, and from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sat-urday, May 2. Visitors will park and ride the trolley to each destination. Tickets are $15. Info: 209-1616, city-people.knox@gmail.com, or citypeo-plehometour.org.

By Wendy SmithThis weekend’s Blue and

Gray Reunion and Freedom Jubilee will offer a host of activities for Civil War buffs as well as those who love Knoxville history.

The weekend is a com-bined effort of the Tennes-see Civil War Sesquicenten-nial Commission and local historical organizations. Registration is required for the state event, titled “Re-construction in Tennessee,” at tncivilwar150.com.

Local offerings include Civil War fort tours, an 1860s baseball game, museum ex-hibits, a Civil War Exposition and notable performers and speakers like the Fisk Jubi-lee Singers, actor Ben Vereen and “Gettysburg”/“Gods and Generals” director Ron Max-well, who will speak at the Blue and Gray Reunion Din-ner − the only ticketed event.

The events are designed to educate the public on Knoxville’s unique role in the Civil War. Many will highlight the role that local African-Americans played in the war. A pamphlet titled “First Steps to Free-dom,” which contains a his-

tory of African-Americans in Knoxville, will be avail-able at the Freedom Jubilee opening ceremony at 11:30 a.m. Saturday, May 2, at the Beck Cultural Exchange Center, 1927 Dandridge Ave.

The pamphlet includes details of the 1st U.S. Colored Heavy Artillery, mustered in Knoxville in February 1864. In 1860, the city had approx-imately 4,000 residents, and 10 percent were slaves, says Calvin Chappelle, executive director of the Mabry-Hazen House, 1711 Dandridge Ave. The area had divided loyal-ties, so it was easier to mus-ter black troops here than it would have been in the Deep South.

The pamphlet also de-scribes a city-funded proj-ect to transcribe thousands of pages of handwritten re-cords of the regiment that are part of the National Ar-chives in Washington, D.C. The fi rst of three volumes of the transcription will be unveiled at the opening cer-emony, and Chappelle says the searchable PDF fi le will provide valuable insight into the lives of the soldiers.

Cemetery tours are in-

Weekend to explore Knoxville’s role in Civil War

cluded in the weekend’s events. Odd Fellows Cem-etery will be open 1-5 p.m. on Saturday, and graves of Civil War veterans, includ-ing those from the 1st U.S. Colored Heavy Artillery, will be decorated. Visitors should park at Walter Hardy Park, 2020 Martin Luther King Jr. Ave.

Old Gray Cemetery, 543 N. Broadway, will have a liv-ing history exhibit at 1 p.m. on Saturday. Bearden resi-dent Bud Albers will talk about his grandfather, An-drew Jackson Albers, who chaired Knoxville’s 1890 Civil War reunion, and is buried at Old Gray. Reen-actors will portray other noteworthy veterans buried there, like Colonel John Bell Brownlow and James Rog-ers McCallum, a member of “The Immortal 600,” a

group of Confederate sol-diers used as human shields on Morris Island in Charles-ton harbor.

Over 240 veterans, from both sides, are interred at Old Gray, says executive di-rector Alix Dempster.

First Presbyterian, 620 State Street, is acknowledg-ing the weekend’s events with a service titled “Re-membrance, Reunion and Reconciliation in a Divided Nation.” Music will come from an 1890 hymnal, and Beck Cultural Exchange Center president Renee Kessler and state Rep. Joe Armstrong will participate.

The service is intended to recognize the contributions of African American sol-diers during the Civil War, says Pastor William Pender.

UT Medical Center uses DeRoyal tracking system

UT Medical Center and DeRoyal Industries are part-nering on a supplies tracking system with the potential to revolutionize effi ciency and patient safety in the operat-ing room. The system, Con-tinuum OR, created by De-Royal and tested and refi ned at the medical center, uses radio frequency identifi ca-tion technology to develop surgery procedure supply lists specifi c to each surgeon and improve inventory man-agement and supply tracking.

“As in most facilities, the tracking of supplies was primarily a manual system often performed by clinical staff,” said Brian C. DeBusk, chief executive offi cer at De-Royal Industries.

The average rate of items collected for a surgical pro-cedure that are not used has been estimated to be as high 70 percent. As a result of the collaboration the medi-cal center has seen improve-ments to operating room ef-fi ciencies and patient safety.

Apprentice program takes applicationsMay 11-15, at Associated General Contractors, 3306 Ragsdale Avenue and 402 Bearden Park Circle.

The RVCTC apprentice-ship program consists of four years of on-the-job training and one night of school per week. Appli-cants must be 18 or older with a high school diploma of GED. Applicants must be physically able to perform the work of the trade.

Student costs include books to be used through-out the program; Knox County registration fee (currently $125 per year and subject to increase); RVCTC tuition of $1,800 per year (if not RVCTC member-spon-sored).

Qualifi ed applicants will be interviewed and rated by the contractor board mem-bers. Top scores are admit-ted into the program. The number of students taken varies from year to year ac-cording to demand.

NEWS FROM PREMIER SURGICAL

May 6 Knoxville 5FIVE15 Fun Run to Benefi t Amputee Athletes

S e v e n -t e e n - y e a r -old DJ Vanderwerf loves to run. The Sweet-water teen enjoys com-peting in 5K road races and con-t i n u o u s l y c h a l le n ge s himself to improve his speed and race times.

“I’m ac-tive and al-ways on the go. I believe you can do

anything you want if you put your mind to it,” says Vanderwerf.

Running hasn’t always been a smooth road for Vanderwerf. Because of a birth defect, his left foot was am-putated when he was just 9 months old. He’s been wearing a prosthesis ever since.

Despite his prosthesis, Vanderw-erf has excelled at many sports, earn-ing top spots on the Sweetwater High School football, basketball and base-ball teams.

“I don’t see myself as different because of my prosthesis. I’m just a normal kid who loves to play sports,” says Vanderwerf.

The only sport Vanderwerf has struggled to conquer is distance run-ning. The prosthesis leg he has for dai-ly wear and team sports isn’t suitable for comfortable distance running.

Two years ago Vanderwerf and his family learned about Amputee Blade Runners (ABR), a non-profi t group that provides free running prosthet-ics for amputee athletes. ABR’s team of prosthetists, physicians and fabri-cators donate their time to construct and fi t athletes with a custom run-ning leg. Because running prosthesis are not considered “medically neces-

sary”, they aren’t normally covered by insurance. Through ABR, Vanderwerf was fi tted with a fl exible carbon-fi ber blade that has allowed him to run safely and comfortably ever since.

Now, Vanderwerf hopes to raise awareness about Amputee Blade Run-ners and assist them in helping other amputees. He’s serving as an Ambas-sador for ABR’s 5FIVE15 fundraiser. It will be held Wednesday, May 6, at 5:30pm, at Bearden Run-ner’s Market in Knoxville.

“Donate $5 and run or walk for fi ve minutes or fi ve miles. We hope to raise $15,000 to buy running sports legs for fi ve amputees,” explains Vanderwerf.

The May 6th Knoxville event is part of the national 5FIVE15 Cam-paign. Amputee Blade Runners’ goal is to provide a running prosthesis to at least one athlete in all 50 states by 2016. Vanderwerf says it’s a goal worth striving for.

“ABR helps adults and kids like me b e active and normal. It’s a great organization and I hope people will come out and help us reach our goal!”

By Anne HartWith heart disease the

No. 1 health problem in the U.S. today, local car-d i o l o g i s t Dr. George Krisle had the full at-tention of his audi-ence when he dis-cussed car-

diovascular issues at the Rotary Club of Bearden.

Introduced by his friend, Dr. Walter Beahm, as “the dean of Knoxville cardi-ologists,” Dr. Krisle guided his audience through the various types of cardiovascular disease, their causes and treatments or “fi xes,” if any.

The key to a healthier life, Dr. Krisle said, “is to

go to your family physician once a year and to know your numbers,” referring to cholesterol, blood pressure and other vitals.

Risk factors for heart disease are genetics, high blood pressure, high cho-lesterol, smoking, diet and weight.

Dr. Krisle reminded his audience that a healthy diet can reduce cardiovas-cular events, and recom-mended low carbohydrate and low fat diets, including

the Mediterranean Diet but cautioned against using too much of the olive oil in that diet because of its high

calorie count.His fi nal word on car-

diovascular issues: “If you think you’re having a heart attack, go to the emergency room immediately.”

The town of Farragut Offi ce of Sustainability has received a $1,000 grant through the Walmart Com-munity Grant Program.

The check presentation took place at the grand re-opening of the Turkey Creek Walmart on Parkside Drive on April 24. The grant was awarded to the Offi ce of Sustainability for its LED light bulb exchange pro-gram.

For this event, indivi du-als will be encouraged to bring in incandescent bulbs to exchange for Energy Star labeled LED bulbs. The goal of this program is to encour-age energy conservation practices within the local community in an effort to reduce our society’s impact on natural resources.

“I’m excited to accept this grant, which will enable me to educate our community on the benefi ts of energy conservation while provid-ing them with the means to put energy conservation into action through the use of an energy effi cient prod-uct,” said Farragut sustain-ability coordinator Lori Saal.

According to Walmart, the organization “believes in operating globally and giving back locally – creat-ing impact in the neighbor-hoods where we live and work. Through the Com-munity Grant Program, our associates are proud to support the needs of their communities by providing grants to local organiza-tions.”

Combatting cardiovascular disease

Buzz Thomas

By Bonny C. MillardThe Great Schools Part-

nership is on a mission to make Knox County Schools into a world class school system, but much work still needs to be done.

Partnership president Oliver “Buzz” Thomas told the Rotary Club of Farragut that the school system now has momentum working in its favor.

“We have the best large school system right now in Tennessee, but that’s not good enough, because our kids don’t just have to com-pete with the kids in Nash-ville, Memphis and Chattanooga. Our kids have to compete with kids in Beijing, Calcutta, Berlin and Tokyo. They have to compete with the best kids in the world.”

The school system has made great strides but still faces challenges.

Thomas said that fewer than half of last year’s grad-uates’ scored a 21 on the ACT, which is the minimal readiness benchmark.

The other major hurdle is that less than half of Knox County third graders are reading at grade level. Third-grade reading scores are the best predictor for

future success, he added.“If you’re not reading on

grade level by the end of third grade, the chances are that we will never ever catch you up. There’s a pretty de-cent chance

you won’t even graduate from high school, which means its four times as likely that you’ll wind up in prison or on drugs or un-employed or pregnant out-

of-wedlock. All those things happen in a cascading fashion to kids who don’t gradu-ate from high school.”

Strong educational opportunities for students

impact the community in numerous ways by provid-ing a globally competitive workforce, attracting the high-quality companies and improving quality of life standards in areas of health, personal happiness and family income.

“We need you to join the movement to take Knox County Schools from good to great.”

If you have had a child, your pelvic f loor may have become weakened due to bearing extra weight dur-ing pregnancy. During birth, your pelvic f loor expands to allow your baby to be delivered. This process also causes the nerves in the area to be-come stretched and cause pain or numbness.

While pelvic fl oor ex-ercises at home can help strengthen your genital area, continued weakness, pain or lack of control over urine or bowel movements may require assistance from a pelvic fl oor therapist. Before

you give birth, talk to your doctor about these potential issues and what to expect. If you have already given birth

and are experiencing theseissues, ask for a referral toJoy Friley, PT, PRPC at theParkwest Therapy Center.

“Just like a knee orshoulder problem, pelvicfl oor dysfunction is an in-jury from which you canrecover if you do the rightstretches, be aware of yourposture, make good nutri-tional choices and take careof yourself,” Friley said.“When you have pelvic pain,it affects everything. It’s noteasy for people to talk aboutbecause it’s so personal. Itry to help you move better,live better and have a betterquality of life.”

It isn’t like 32-year-old Lindsay Riling to slow down. The Digital Marketing and Partner-ships manager at Scripps Net-works Interactive is an exercise enthusiast. “I love high-intensity workouts,” she said. “My fi ancé is a health and fi tness coach, so that’s a big part of my life. I didn’t want to lose that.”

However, in 2014, Riling felt like she was losing many parts of her life. After a severe urinary tract infection (UTI), she was di-agnosed with interstitial cystitis (IC), a chronic bladder condition which causes burning pain and diffi culty with regulating urina-tion. Riling’s bladder had become infl amed, and she was retaining urine in dangerous amounts for long periods of time. “Some peo-ple have extreme frequency with IC, but I had a less common form of it,” she explained. “I didn’t feel the sense to go.”

Riling was started on a series of treatments to relax her bladder and had to see her gynecologist twice a week to give a urine sample via cath-eter. Despite medications, her symptoms hadn’t disappeared. Because of her bladder issues, Riling was also experiencing lack of sleep and painful inter-course. She was diagnosed with pelvic fl oor dysfunction (PFD) caused by the trauma of theUTI and mounting stress of her situation.

“I was trying to cope with the chronic pain,” Riling said. “It’s diffi cult because I look fi ne from the outside, so no one can tell there’s something wrong with me. I was emotionally exhausted.”

Following her PFD diag-nosis, Riling was referred to Joy Friley, PT, PRPC, Parkwest Therapy Center physical thera-pist and the only certifi ed Pelvic Floor Therapist in the area. She was scheduled to see Friley once a

week for therapy sessions. “PFD is basically a lack of coor-

dination among the core muscles of the trunk and genital area,” Friley explained. “My job is to educate patients on how to coor-dinate those muscles to contract and relax during normal ac-tivities. While many people may think bladder and bowel problems have nothing to do with physical therapy, that’s not true. Like any muscular problem, physical ther-apists can provide expertise in improving function and decreas-ing pain.”

At fi rst, Riling resisted at-tending her therapy appoint-ments consistently. “It’s a lot to go in there and have this hap-pen to you,” she said. “Joy is the most down to earth, loving, un-derstanding person you’ll ever meet. She made me feel so com-fortable, but my symptoms weren’t subsiding.”

The continued pain led her back to her gynecologist, who rec-ommended exploratory surgery to look for endometriosis, a con-dition in which tissue normally inside the uterus grows outside of it. The laparoscopy discovered a light case of the disorder and con-fi rmed the IC diagnosis.

“After the surgery, I decid-ed I was going to give this my all,” Riling said. “I went back to Joy – who was always so optimis-tic – and became consistent with going twice a week. When I didn’t see improvements with pain, she assured me things were improv-ing internally.”

“People have to understand that what you’re providing them is going to be helpful,” Friley said. “With Lindsay, we spent a lot of time fi guring out how her life was affecting her diagnosis. It’s all about being an advocate for some-one to get them to the right place. I validated her pain and was able to listen to her and explain to her

How pelvic fl oor

therapy can helpAs the only certifi ed pel-

vic fl oor therapist in Knoxville, Joy Friley, PT, PRPC, assists men and women like Lindsay in resolving the pain and discomfort caused by pelvic fl oor dysfunction (PFD). Her physical therapy programming includes stretch-ing and strengthening of muscles and retraining them to work together. In certain situations, modalities such as therapeutic ultrasound, muscular elec-tric stimulation and biofeedback are used to help teach patients to better use their muscles.

“Men and women dealing with PFD need to understand there are a lot of people dealing with these same prob-lems, not just them,” Friley said. “Be-

fore diving into surgery or going on medicine – which can have negative effects – try conservative fi rst round treatment in the form of therapy. You have to be your own advocate.”

Patients with PFD often present with one or more of the following symptoms:

■ Urinary/fecal incontinence ■ Pelvic organ prolapse ■ Pelvic, abdominal, genital, lower

back and/or buttock pain ■ Pain during intercourse or medi-

cal examParkwest Therapy Cen-

ter is accepting referrals for pelvic rehabilitation. Call 865-531-5710 for more informa-tion or to make a referral.

why the pain was continuing.”Eventually, Riling began to see

the results. Friley worked with her on stretches to do at home, and she was able to return to her intense exercises. “Joy was genu-inely interested in my life and un-derstood how this was impacting me emotionally,” she said. “She helped me fi gure out how to live my life while working on recovery.

“I didn’t want to have to stop seeing Joy anymore, but I no lon-

ger have PFD,” said Riling, who will always have IC fl are-ups in the future. “She taught me how to accept this new reality and accept the fact I’m limited. The sooner I could do that and embrace my limitations, the sooner I could be happy again.”

For Riling, the emotional and physical toll of the healing pro-cess was lengthy and diffi cult. However, she advises other wom-en to follow her path. “Don’t give

up and don’t be hard on yourselffor your limitations. Be patientwith your recovery,” she said.

“Joy helped me realize my painwas going to end someday andknew what my goals were, likegetting back to my workouts,”Riling said. “For something likePFD therapy, you need some-one who understands you andcan sympathize and empathizewith what you’re going throughphysically and emotionally.”
