By Sara BarrettThe Coward Mill Bridge, built

in 1894, was an ongoing labor of love for Don Caldwell. He lived down the road from the histori-cal structure for decades until his death in May.

Caldwell’s son, Thomas, remem-bers a time in 1970 when his dad asked the county to pull pieces of limestone from Beaver Creek below after a group of high school kids knocked it from the bridge’s edge.

By Betty BeanJames McMillan has been a

high-profi le, persistent critic of the way local government handles stormwater runoff issues, both city and county. Rarely has he doled out compliments.

Last week, the Shannondale farmer broke form when he heard that Knox County has hired Tony Norman to a $28,000 per year part-time position as an NPDES (National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System) coordinator.

“Tony will add a needed degree of honesty and integrity to Knox County’s engineering department, something they have had a very limited supply of, till now,” said McMillan.

Norman started work Nov. 3, two months after completing two terms on County Commission, where he championed teachers who have been protesting Superin-tendent James McIntyre’s reform agenda. As a science teacher with

Knox County Schools for more than 30 years, he developed an award-

winning ecology class at Farragut and continued it at West High School, where he directed hands-on studies of Third Creek. As a commissioner, he spent more than three years chair-ing the controver-

sial Joint City/County Task Force on Ridge, Slope and Hillside Develop-ment and Protection that developed new regulations to curb environ-mental damage done by developers.

Predictably, the hire has raised eyebrows.

Commissioner Sam McKenzie expressed his displeasure at a meet-ing last week, and there was grum-bling that the former commission chair, who is widely expected to be a candidate for school board in 2016, is being “rewarded” for his persis-

tent opposition to McIntyre’s poli-cies, an allegation that Engineering and Public Works Director Dwight Van de Vate said is unwarranted.

“Tony has a sound science back-ground. He has a background in environmental policy and a solid general understanding of the sci-ence behind what we are respon-sible for doing in stormwater,” Van de Vate said.

“He has good communication skills – specifi cally, the ability to write. Keeping dynamic, relevant, current web content is impor-tant. Many folks with engineering backgrounds, communication is not their forte.

“Tony is a skilled public speaker with the ability to articulate com-plicated concepts clearly. He’ll be talking to elected offi cials. He will look at how peer jurisdictions manage their bonds and letters of credit and see if we can incorpo-rate some of their practices. Not everybody can make those calls

effectively and ask the right ques-tions. I’m confi dent Tony will ex-cel with assignments like this, and we’ve started already.”

He also said there are things Norman won’t be doing:

“He won’t be involved in edu-cation outreach that involves Knox County Schools. He won’t be involved in regulation of the construction trades. I’ve got eight folks who do that very well. Our bench is deep.”

Norman said he’s not surprised that some have criticized his hiring.

“I’ve known these people (in county engineering) for 20 years,” he said. “I spent 30 years in wa-ter quality – it’s like my calling – where my heart is.”

Then he laughed and said: “I don’t want to go back into teach-ing. I don’t think I’d last a week (back in the school system). So when this came open, I said yeah, and really think my resume ought to be able to withstand (criticism).”

Ex-commissioner gets stormwater post

Tony Norman

By Sandra ClarkDespite objections from resi-

dents of Seven Springs subdivi-sion, the Metropolitan Planning Commission has approved con-struction of a Dollar General Store at 2313 Amherst Road near the en-trance to Seven Springs.

The decision can be appealed to Knoxville City Council within 15 da ys.

Attorney Arthur Seymour Jr. represented the property owner. He said Schaad Commercial In-vestments would build and own the store, leasing it to Dollar Gen-eral for 15 years with the tenant having options to extend.

MPC commissioners approved the staff’s recommendation to grant the use-on-review plan sub-

ject to 10 conditions, including construction of sidewalks and ex-tensive landscaping. The site plan calls for 32 parking spaces and a 9,100-square-foot store.

Seymour estimated the store would generate 12 trips per hour on average, the trips coming from the immediate neighborhood. He said exterior lights will remain on at night, but will be directed onto the property and will not bleed off the site.

Speaking in opposition, Cyn-thia Crosby Myers of Brierbrook Lane called the project “a good store, but a bad location.”

Dean Leonard, vice president of the Seven Springs Homeown-ers Association, said the store would create large-truck traf-

fi c on Amherst and Piney Grove Church roads, which are not built for that type of traffi c. It has the potential to create tremendous foot traffi c including people walking on the railroad tracks, he said, and with some 450 residents of Seven Springs no traffi c study was required.

Blake Fultz of Eagle Crest Lane raised several technical issues, in-cluding a contention that Amherst Road’s asphalt is rated for just 20,000 pounds. He said approval will cost the city money for both drainage and repaving.

MPC chair Rebecca Longmire said most commissioners had driven Amherst Road from end to end. She asked for comment from city engineering. This road is des-

ignated as a “major connector,” meant for through traffi c, said an engineer. There is no truck prohi-bition on the road.

Commissioner Art Clancy said neighborhood commercial zoning allows residents to walk to nearby businesses. “I’m not in love with this business being located in this neighborhood, but I don’t see how we can (fairly) place the fi nancial responsibility of improving the road on the developer and restrict any commercial there until at least 100 houses are in place. …

“I’m backed into a corner. The developer is allowed to have com-mercial use.”

MPC passed Clancy’s motion to approve the development plan with only one apparent objection.

Years later, the county planned to tear down the bridge and build a modern replacement with two lanes. Caldwell fought to save the bridge, this time with documenta-tion of its history and importance in the community.

As a compromise, supports were added to each side of the bridge which Thomas, now an ar-chitect, feels may have destroyed the beauty of its design but will prevent it from being torn down.

“Over the years, (my dad) was

a spokesperson for that bridge,” says Thomas, who cleared brush away from the bridge as his Eagle Scout project in 1978. “It is a re-ally rare and original stone arch

Dumb mistakeWATE’s decision not to re-

new its contract with longtime popular news anchor Gene Patterson has to be one of the dumber mistakes any televi-sion station could make.

WATE is now owned by Media General which has its corporate offi ce in Richmond, Va.

WATE ratings are down so their solution is to terminate the most popular newscaster they have. Incredible logic and shows the corporate offi ce in Richmond is clueless about its Knoxville market.

Grace Christian Acad-emy’s lower school students honored more than 100 vet-erans and service personnel at a Veterans Day program on Nov. 11.

Nancy Anderson

Under the direction of Kandi McIntyre, the Grace Christian Academy lower school honors choir sings the “Armed Forces Medley”

to honor each branch of the military.

Saluting the Armed Forces

The program opened with students from kinder-garten through grade fi ve taking the stage to recite the Pledge of Allegiance fol-lowed by the honors choir performing the “Armed Forces Medley.”

As veterans of each branch of the service heard their song, they stood, an impressive display of the community’s commitment to fi ghting for freedom. The choir closed the program with “God Bless the USA.”

“That was pretty incred-ible,” said U.S. Army Sgt. Major Robert Kelly.

“The kids did a great job. It’s nice to be honored in such a way, but the real he-roes are those who lost their lives. We especially salute them today.”

WWII veteran Bill Camp-bell, 96, was the most senior serviceman in attendance at the celebration. Campbell said he was in the U.S. Air Force only four years but spent the majority of that time in the air. He earned seven major campaign rib-bons serving on a B-17 Fly-ing Fortress and a B-24 Lib-erator.

Today, Campbell enjoys a truly American pastime: He’s a huge Tennessee Smokies fan and tries not to miss a home game.

bridge, and to see its crafts-manship is really dramatic and kind of breathtaking.”

In addition to preserv-ing Coward Mill Bridge, Caldwell played a part in numerous other projects in the Karns and Hardin Valley areas. Two of the most vis-ible to date are assisting with planting the fl owers that line the edges of Pellissippi Park-way each spring and help-ing steer the development of Pellissippi as a technology corridor.

Bill Ballou, also an ac-tive member of the com-munity, was asked to help get the Coward Mill Bridge renamed after Caldwell, a past president of the Coun-cil of West Knox County

Homeowners and an active member of the Karns Com-munity Club since 1966.

Ballou requested the help of current council president Margot Kline, who has writ-ten a letter to county com-missioners with the sup-port of another former West Knox Council president, John Schoonmaker.

“Dad was involved in all aspects of the community,” says Thomas Caldwell.

“As the president of West Knox County Homeowners, he wanted to keep the de-velopers under control. The Coward Mill Bridge was near and dear to his heart and is an example of his philosophy and of what he wanted for the community.”

That he recovered enough to reclaim the starting job was amazing. I considered the possibility that Butch Jones has a sentimental streak and was simply rewarding cour-age and determination. That wasn’t it. The offensive line was better with Jacob Gilliam (and Joshua Dobbs).

Don’t bother with how this story ends. It is already better than most movie plots.

This guy was good at Far-ragut High. He had scholar-ship offers to smaller col-leges. He wanted to go to Tennessee. He was thrilled when 2009 line coach James Cregg invited him over for conversation.

Alas, when Gilliam ar-rived, there was no greet-ing. Cregg was gone – with Lane Kiffi n to Southern Cal.

A very nice Derek Dooley said Gilliam could walk on. He was a redshirt in 2010. Most of 2011 was lost to a shoulder injury. In 2012, he got in for two plays at the end of the Kentucky game. He said that was very meaningful. I said he had outlasted Dooley.

Gilliam was second team last season, behind Tiny Richardson. He played brief-ly in two blowout losses.

This spring, day after day, he had to prove he was capable. He beat out Donta-vius Blair, 6-8 and 313, the

handpicked r e p l a c e -ment for Richardson. Astounding what effort and smarts and fi erce determina-tion can do.

C o a c h Jones awarded a scholar-ship. Much earlier Jacob had earned the respect of teammates. He started the season opener against Utah State. He suffered the torn ACL.

“It’s very, very unfortu-nate,” Butch Jones said. “I feel for him … I love him to death.”

Cruel conclusion? The end? Not exactly.

Cheering is not permit-ted in the press box, under threat of expulsion, but when Jacob Gilliam jogs onto Shields-Watkins Field for the last time, I’m going to risk it. Yea! Quietly.

Nothing like this has happened in my time.Marvin West invites reader reaction. His

address is [email protected].

Gilliam

Don’t tell me how the story endsIn the front row of my

music fi le is a Ronnie Mil-sap recording of a Kris Kristofferson song, “Please Don’t Tell Me How the Story Ends.”

It popped up, unsolicited, when I thought of Jacob Gil-liam and his fi nal home ap-pearance on behalf of Ten-nessee football.

I know enough. I don’t need to know the ending.

Maybe Jacob will become a coach or a business leader. He is a winning warrior. I believe he will be success-ful at something. I hope he is happy. I hope he can walk.

Nothing like Jacob Gil-liam has happened in my most-of-a-lifetime monitor-ing of the Volunteers. Other walk-ons have exceeded expectations, earned schol-arships, achieved starting status. Nick Reveiz and a few others became captains. Maybe one beat out a junior college all-American and took his job, but I don’t re-member that.

I’m almost certain no-body ever played offensive tackle on one good leg and a torn knee ligament in the other.

That Jacob wanted to try was stunning. It said his

Marvin West

love of football went beyond lip service, a bit deeper than touching the motivational sign on the way from the dressing room to the play-ing fi eld and repeating the promise, “I will give my all for Tennessee.”

It said he cared more for the team than himself. Or-dinary people, when dam-aged, hobble off to a hospi-tal and hope an orthopedic magician can make neces-sary repairs. Jacob skipped the surgery and started re-habilitation as soon as the swelling went down. It may have hurt.

That Jacob made it back was a shock. He showed up on the sidelines at prac-tice. I mistook that for loy-alty. He attended meetings, keeping up with instruction.

Suddenly, he was in-volved in limited workouts. He ran slowly. He never was a speedster. He is 6-4 and 290. Half of that is heart.

By Marvin WestBehind Jacob Gilliam’s

unlikely comeback from a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee are deep family faith and hours and hours of prayer.

Nathan Gilliam, Farra-gut High football senior, believed it when his older brother declared his Ten-nessee career was not fi n-ished.

“I actually thought he would make it back,” said Nathan. “We prayed so much for that.”

Three weeks after the injury, Jacob returned to the Tennessee practice fi eld.

“I remember thinking, ‘Wow!’ ” said Nathan.

Vol line coach Don Ma-honey had other thoughts – about work ethic, pas-sion and desire.

“This really is who he is and what he stands for, and it’s just hard work and tremendous charac-ter … it’s not a surprise.”

Forty-nine days after

the injury, Jacob played against Ole Miss. A week later he regained a start-ing job.

“I am so proud of him,” said Nathan Gilliam.

He said Jacob’s recov-ery “feels like a miracle.”

The Gilliam family – parents David and Mi-chelle, their three football gladiators (Alex is the baby brother) and a very special grandmother – re-lied on their faith. Honey Rock Victorious Church was the focal point. The Gilliams met with the worship leader and his family every Thursday for intensive prayer.

Nathan tells of “the laying on of hands.”

Jacob believes those prayers and support from hundreds of others led to healing. He says he has been blessed with strength and stability in the knee. He says there has been very little pain.

Teammates are in awe.“Dude’s tough,” said

tailback Jalen Hurd.

Prayer for Jacob

I recently voted in Farra-gut’s early voting, and one of the controversial issues this year is allowing wine to be sold in Farragut’s grocery stores.

This issue reminded me of a similar referendum in 1961 when Knox County vot-ed to legalize whiskey sales in package stores and, and fi nally, liquor by the drink in 1972. Referenda to legal-ize whiskey sales in Knox County date to 1941, and the proposal was placed on the ballot fi ve times during that 20-year period until it was fi nally approved.

The vote brought to-gether two interest groups that would normally oppose each other; most Christian ministers opposed legal-ization based on “moral is-sues,” and area bootleggers opposed it for economic issues. But the real losers when the vote carried were the whiskey runners. Many kids considered these fear-less drivers to be heroes, and for rural mountain boys, it was an occupation that could quickly lift them out of poverty.

Of course, one such driv-er’s adventures were the subject of the 1958 movie “Thunder Road” starring Robert Mitchum, and I dare say there were few teenagers who missed seeing this fl ick because it involved “souped up” Fords that most kids dreamed of owning.

But the real “Thunder

By Wendy SmithSome of the best work

of the Knox County Health Department happens out-side the walls of the its three facilities, says Direc-tor Martha Buchanan.

Most people think of vac-cinations or treatment of STDs when they think of the health department. But a quick browse through the KCHD website reveals an ar-ray of services, from a school dental program to tips on how to keep well water safe.

Buchanan is most proud of the way the organization works within the community. Through recent efforts, the health department has im-proved the city’s walkability, helped people grow their own fruits and vegetables, and fos-tered a sense of community.

“We’re empowering peo-ple so they know they have a voice in their own health.”

She was a family-prac-tice doctor for seven years before joining the KCHD 11 years ago. She has been di-rector for four years.

KCHD employs 250 and has a total budget of $25 mil-lion. Local government pro-vides 75 percent of funding, and the remaining 25 per-cent comes from federal and state government and grants.

The health department includes talented, passionate staff who go into the commu-nity to develop relationships and building trust, allowing them to gauge a neighbor-hood’s health needs, like play-grounds or safe places to walk.

Health is about more

Health is more than absence of disease, says Buchanan

than the absence of disease, Buchanan says.

The staff also includes medical experts, like four epidemiologists and one epidemiological nurse. They

are public-health detectives who track down causes of infectious disease and in-vestigate patterns of illness, like cancer, she says.

One of the roles of the health department is to think through the unthink-able, like fl u pandemics or an outbreak of Ebola. Strategies are in place for such circum-stances, but prevention is the primary objective.

In the case of Ebola, the county gets information from Homeland Security about those arriving from West Africa, and they are monitored by the health de-partment, based on risk.

Buchanan won’t say wheth-er anyone in Knox County is currently being monitored. It’s a balancing act between

privacy and public concern, she says. It’s important to err on the side of caution, but if someone has no symptoms, there is no risk of infection.

The health challenges in Knox County are the same as those across the state. Obe-sity is one. Another is mak-ing sure that everyone, from inner-city families to wealthy suburbanites, can be healthy if they choose to be. It’s a problem that can only be addressed through engage-ment, which requires reach-ing out to decision-makers as well as the community.

We’re changing how we view healthcare, and every-one needs to be better in-formed, Buchanan says.

“There’s a learning curve there.”

WATE’s decision not to renew its contract with pop-ular longtime news anchor Gene Patterson has to be one of the dumber mistakes any television station could make.

Looks like the SAT-10 exam, defunct since Nov. 3, is going to stay defunct, despite the best efforts of Superintendent James Mc-Intyre’s administration and its allies.

RIP SAT-10, again

Betty Bean

SAT-10 is the most dis-liked of the many assess-ments administered by Knox County Schools, pri-marily because of the ten-der age of the students to whom it is given – kinder-garteners through second-graders.

It is not state-required, and its abolition became a priority for the two new board members who had fi rsthand experience with

its effects – Amber Roun-tree, an elementary school librarian who proctored the exams, and kindergarten teacher Patti Bounds.

Rountree pushed the board to vote at a special called meeting the night before the election when Tracie Sanger (who was per-ceived to be a potential Mc-Intyre ally based on a strong endorsement from Indya Kincannon) was elected.

The vote came over the objections of McIntyre’s administrators and the pro-McIntyre board members and ended up 6-3 with vice chair Doug Harris saying he voted for ending the test so he could bring it up again at a more propitious time in the future.

Within days of the elec-tion, KCS Accountabil-ity Offi cer Nakia Towns announced that teachers were letting her know they

were afraid their evaluation scores would suffer without the SAT-10 numbers, and she compiled numbers con-fi rming their worst fears.

This would be one of Towns’ last chores for Knox County before the an-nouncement that she had taken a job as an assistant to state Commissioner of Education Kevin Huffman, who shortly thereafter an-nounced that he, too, was leaving, causing speculation among some that McIntyre would soon be joining Towns in Nashville as Huff-man’s replacement (smart money was on former state Sen. Jamie Woodson, head of Bill Frist’s education think tank, SCORE).

On Nov. 5, Dogwood El-ementary School principal Lana Shelton-Lowe sent her teachers an email warning them of possible negative impacts of ending SAT-10.

Dear Santa Claus: Yes-

terday poor Barack inadver-tently mailed you last year’s Christmas list. (He’s had a lot on his mind recently.) Since you already fulfi lled those wishes, perhaps you could give him a majority of American citizens who get their news from some-place other than Fox. Merry Christmas, Santa!

– Michelle Obama

Dear Santa: Anything but turtleneck sweaters! Darn you, Jon Stewart!

– U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell

Hi, Santa: My daughter, Bristol, and my husband, Todd, could really use box-ing lessons. (Bristol has promised to learn to write so next year she can send her own letter.)

Can you see Russia from your house? You betcha I can!

– Sarah Palin

Dear Santa Claus: Win-ning the election was a great present, but I see my name in lights on the big screen with your help.

My motto, “Make ’em squeal,” fi ts perfectly with a sc reenplay I’ve written.

“Alien Deliverance” is sure to be a blockbuster. With the tagline, “In space, no one can hear you squeal,” how can it lose? Sigourney Weaver will jump at the part!

Merry Christmas from your Iowa elf!

– U.S. Sen. Jodi Ernst

Dear Santa: What’s up? Seems like all my rowdy friends have been term-limited, and I’m next. How about giving that Duncan fellow a nudge toward the door? It’s time for Tim in 2018!

– Mayor Tim Burchett

Dear Santa Claus: My family has always respected your work, but I’ve been hearing troubling rumors. Is it true the elves are form-ing a union and that you’re expanding Medicaid to the North Pole? Say it isn’t so, Santa!

– Gov. Bill Haslam

WATE makes dumb mistake on Patterson

WATE is now owned by Media General, which has its corporate offi ce in Rich-mond, Va. WATE ratings are down, so their solution is to terminate the most popular newscaster they have. This shows the corporate offi ce in Richmond is clueless about its Kno xville market.

If your ratings are down why do you cut costs by let-ting one of your top news-casters go? Their ratings are only likely to sink fur-ther. No doubt they will hire someone under 35 and pay him/her half of what Patter-son was paid and think the ratings will increase. Think again. WATE has no idea (or does not care) how unhappy its audience is.

Also think about a corpo-ration that makes a valued employee depart right at Christmastime. Again, insen-sitive and clueless. So much for the Christmas spirit.

■ State Rep. Rick Womick has challenged Speaker Beth Harwell for the GOP nomination for House Speaker to be de-cided by the GOP caucus in December.

Womick represents the anti-Haslam faction of the House GOP caucus. This writer contacted all six Knox Republican law-makers as to whom they planned on supporting at the December caucus. With the exception of Bill Dunn, all said they were voting for Harwell. They are Harry Brooks, Ryan Haynes, Ed-die Smith, Martin Daniel and Roger Kane.

Dunn said he simply did not disclose his vote. However, he added that he thought Harwell had done an excellent job as speaker and thought she would be

re-elected. That is Dunn’s way of saying (without say-ing) that he is for Harwell.

■ Gloria Johnsonshould not be counted out as a future candidate just be-cause she lost the state rep-resentative race. Her loss actually occurred in two precincts outside the city at South-Doyle and Mount Ol-ive, whereas she carried the city portion of her district by 900 votes.

She could easily be a vi-able candidate for City Council in the November 2015 city elections. The four council seats up are the three at-large seats, held by George Wallace, Finbarr Saunders and Marshall Stair, or the district seat held by Mark Campen.

Campen has the lowest profi le of the four incum-bents and had no opponent in the last election. If she ran for the Campen council seat, she would be a very strong contender.

However, Johnson wants to be chair of the state Democratic Party, but that would not prevent her from serving on City Council, which currently only has one woman, Brenda Palmer, who is term limited in 2017. She is not alone in wanting the state position. Former U.S. Senate candidate Terry Adams is mentioned along with Linda Sherrill, who op-posed U.S. Rep. Scott Des-Jarlais on Nov. 4.

■ One consequence ofthe Johnson defeat may be that Tammy Kaousias leaves the Knox County Election Commission in April. The current law provides that the Democratic lawmakers from Knoxville recommend the two Democratic elec-tion commissioners. When Joe Armstrong and John-son were the two lawmak-ers, they simply picked one each, and Kaousias was the Johnson choice. With John-son gone, Armstrong will get to recommend both po-sitions. He is free to choose Kaousias again, or he might choose someone else as it is totally his choice.

■ Tony Hernandez, who covers Knoxville city issues for the News Senti-nel, is departing for Oregon. He will be missed.

On Nov. 6, Mooreland Heights Elementary School principal Roy Miller sent a similar email to a group of teachers warning them of the consequences of not having SAT-10 numbers to enhance their scores.

On Nov. 10, board mem-ber Karen Carson, Mc-Intyre’s strongest board ally, shot off an email to board chair Mike McMil-lan objecting to the Nov. 3 vote because she believed the motion on the fl oor was broader than the meeting notice and therefore fatal-ly fl awed – “Please let me know when I can expect res-olution to this unfortunate error in procedure.”

Uh, maybe never?Meanwhile, Sanger told

Channel 10’s Mike Donila that she won’t vote to rein-state SAT-10.

Without Sanger’s vote, there won’t be a majority willing to reinstate the con-troversial testing of Knox County’s youngest stu-dents.

was able to get around the fi rst roadblock and prob-ably thought he was in the clear, but when he saw the second block, he knew this one would be much harder to break.

The road and grade have been altered since the early ’50s, when a steep red clay bank was on the south side of the Pike. His intent was to jump a ditch, climb the bank and somehow bring his car back to the road past the roadblock. But jumping the bank broke the tie-rods on his car, making it impos-sible to steer. The car ca-reened across the road and

ran through a chain-link fence surrounding an elec-trical substation. Sparks from the substation ignited the broken whiskey bottles, creating an inferno.

And as the song says: “The devil got the moonshine and the mountain boy that day.”

During my youth, Dixie Lee Junction was a favorite gathering spot after a foot-ball game. And part of the entertainment was watch-ing whiskey haulers come through at high speeds.

A widely-known bootleg-ger owned a fl eet of black Mercurys. The cars had ex-haust headers that could be

heard several miles down U.S. Highway 70. Running out of Nashville, they always ran four or fi ve together and maybe only one or two actu-ally contained bottled whis-key. The other cars were used as decoys or to block police cars so the cars with the whiskey could get away.

The moonshine usually came out of North Caro-lina or Kentucky, while the bottled whiskey came from Nashville or Bristol, Va. The border between Tennessee and Virginia runs through Bristol, but whiskey was le-gal in Virginia and illegal in Tennessee. So the bootleg-

ger could simply buy whis-key by the case in Virginia and deliver it to Tennessee.

Today, diners can enjoy cocktails at most restaurants. I suspect the younger gen-eration would fi nd it amusing that liquor was so hard to get not so long ago. Private clubs often sold whiskey at high prices. Some restaurants al-lowed you to bring your own bottle but supplied expensive setups. And I bet the younger generation would fi nd it even more amusing that 60 years ago, people risked their lives to deliver whiskey to markets that are now served by dis-tributing vendors.

CAK SPORTS SIGNINGS

Major Ashley Nickloes stepped to the podium during CAK’s 2014 Veterans Day Pro-gram with her Bible, a folded American fl ag and a few notes.

She quickly declared that she was honored to present and that she wanted to talk about the three things she loved the most: her Lord, her family and her country. As an aircraft commander / pilot of KC 135 air refueling tanks, Nickloes has served in Opera-tion Noble Eagle, Operation Unifi ed Protector and Opera-tion Enduring Freedom sup-porting the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. She enlisted in

1998, and her husband Todd is a retired Lieutenant Colonel in the U.S. Air Force.

Without question, the Nickloes family has dedicated their lives to serving this great country. After sharing a few stories of some of her many missions, reiterating how her faith in God pulled her through time and time again, Nickloes concluded and there wasn’t a dry eye in the CAK’s Campus Center gymnasium.

Nickloes is a mother of four, including CAK Stu-dents Joshua (5th grade) and Maeve (4th grade). She talked about the many missions her

children had participated in (while they were in utero of course), and how they, too, should be considered veter-ans. In fact, for so many that serve our country, it is the families that also sacrifi ce so much.

Veterans Day is a spe-cial day for many across the country, and at CAK that is no different. The campus was sprinkled with red, white and blue, and the concert band, Junior Praise, High School Ensem-ble and High School Choir performed as part of the program.

Gentry and Joshua (CAK 4th grade). Her son Davis is not pictured.

By Nancy AndersonBearden United Meth-

odist Church leaders had a perfect name for a fun event they wanted to do for the community. Rev. Sher-rell Boles coined the phrase that has stuck through three years of fun: Care-nival.

“We wanted to call this special day of fun, fellow-ship and enjoying God’s blessings something that refl ected the way we felt

about our neighbors and our community,” says Boles. “So we called it ‘Care-nival,’ because we care about our community.”

Care-nival features games, food, music, con-tests and exhibits that offer both activities and informa-tion for parents and chil-dren. “Everything is free,” says organizer Jennifer Taylor. “It is the church’s op-portunity to minister to the

community outside of ourfour walls. It gets bigger andbetter every year.”

There seem to be no los-ers in the contests thatfeatured everything fromguessing the number ofcandy corn in the jar to a gi-ant game of Jenga. Carnivalgames were a favorite, aswas the popcorn and cottoncandy. Approximately 75 at-tended the event, which washeld at the church on Nov. 2.

Giant Jenga wobbles a bit as Jack Forester, age 7, pulls a piece from the bottom while Blythe

Jacobs, age 8, and volunteer Mollianne Reese look on.

It was a close! Heather Rucker, left, and Natalie Broyles pump

Carman Licciardello bills his show as simply “Carman,” and he can’t really offer a cohesive defi nition of what “kind” of Chris-tian music show it is.

Neither can his reviewers. Billed as con-temporary Christian rock, it’s more rap. The message is delivered with a pinch of television evangelist and a healthy dose of Las Vegas showman.

Whatever you call it, Carman had a sold-out crowd of 1,000 fans on the edge of their seats and then on their feet at his concert at Knoxville Christian Center on Nov. 14.

With the recent Veteran’s Day on everyone’s mind, Carman included a ballad in honor of American vets that brought the audience to its feet with applause.

Coming up at Knoxville Christian Cen-ter, 818 Cedar Bluff Road, is their annual Giant Thanksgiving Dinner with Mike Southerland on Sunday, Nov. 23. This free event offers services at 9 and 10:30 a.m. with special music by Southerland, then a full Thanksgiving dinner with all the trim-mings after the 10:30 service. There is no charge.

Farragut Middle School’s cafeteria was overrun by pumpkins during the fourth grade’s annual Pumpkins on Parade. Students had each chosen a book to read and then dressed up their pumpkin based on a char-acter from the story.

Students from other grades toured the tables in the cafeteria and talk to the fourth graders about the characters they chose.

“I’m really proud of my class,” said teacher Lindsey White. “I could tell they put a lot of effort into their proj-ects. Days like today excite the kids about school and about learning.”

■ Town of Farragut cuts ribbonA ribbon-cutting was

held last week for Farragut’s new outdoor classroom at the corner of Campbell Sta-tion Road and the entrance to Farragut High School. Folks checked out the raised-bed gardens, water cistern and permeable pav-ers. The only thing missing was a space heater.

Jason Scott, the town’s stormwater coordinator and visionary behind the proj-ect, said he got the idea after visiting the outdoor class-room at Halls High School.

Scott knew the idea would be a good fi t for the Farragut community and immediately began look-ing for a piece of property.

The land at the entrance to FHS was available, and the fact that it was so close to the school was a plus. “So many things lined up,” said Scott. He drew up a rough plan and started shopping around for help, which be-gan with McGill Associates fl eshing out his sketch.

The space is still a work in progress, but community groups have already pitched in to beautify and utilize the area. Boy Scouts built plant-ers and tables, and there are plans for a rain garden or wetland at the edge of the property.

Although the space is located adjacent to Farra-gut schools, Scott said it is “broadly applicable to the community as a whole, for hands-on service learn-ing projects.” Info: [email protected].

a curling iron, a fl y rod, an urn and lots of chocolate in one place? Karns Middle School career fair, of course.

The annual event was held in the school gym, where eighth graders could roam from booth to booth and see options waiting for them in the real world.

Around 50 local and national businesses were represented, including The Hershey Company, Fly Fishing Tennessee, Karns Fire Department and Tennessee School of Beauty.

I’m sure they will all agree that the more props you have, the longer you can keep students’ attention.

Trinity Funeral Home’s funeral director and embalmer, Myra Sloan, brought along a head made of wax to demonstrate facial reconstruction. Wendy’s restaurants brought boxes full of toy footballs and yo-yos to show that fast food is fun, and Tennessee School of Beauty curled and sprayed as much hair as they could from 9-11:30 a.m.

I may be the only one surprised by this, but about

75 percent of the students I talked to at the Shopper-News booth already knew what they’d like to do after high school. I realize their career choice may change 10 times before they graduate, but the fact that they already have some sort of goal in mind was impressive. I’m still trying to fi gure out what I want to be when I grow up.

This was the fi rst time I’ve been fussed at by a student for taking his picture after he got his hair styled.

VINCENT PEACH TRUNK SHOWUPSTAIRS At Todd Richesin Interiors

featuring

PEARLS AND LEATHER,

STERLING SILVER & GOLD,

PAVE DIAMONDS &

ANCIENT COINS

one day

only

Saturday, November 22 10am - 5pm

Nashville jewelry designer Vincent Peach is coming to Knoxville on Saturday, November 22, from 10 to 5 for a special one-day-only trunk showing of his beautiful jewelry pieces at UPSTAIRS at Todd Richesin Interiors.

Th is will be a unique opportunity to get an early start on shopping for the perfect Christmas present for you or someone you love.

Vincent combines each pearl with other natural, organic elements to create a collection featuring the highest quality pave’ diamonds, rhodium chains, vermeil, sterling silver, and hand woven leather. Inspired by the designer’s Nashville roots and intertwined with the romance of luxury travel, the Vincent Peach jewelry collection is uniquely hand craft ed and one of a kind. Combining the casual elegance of leather and the extraordinary beauty of freshwater and black Tahitian pearls, the bohemian chic collection is artistically craft ed to create a feeling of comfort and ease. With each piece unfolds a store evoked by a fascination with pearls.

Vincent’s work has received national attention and

has been featured in Vogue, US Weekly, the New York Times, and other major publications. His designs are no strangers to stars such as Miranda Lambert, Carrie Underwood, Reba McEntire, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Connie Britton, and Taylor Swift , all who are photographed regularly wearing his amazing creations.

What we love most are his contrasting combinations like soft ly worn and woven leather and Tahitian pearls; or Baroque freshwater pearls woven onto sterling silver stringing; and his stackable stretch bead bracelets of wood and pearls. He is combining pave’ diamond orbs on his necklaces as well, and mixing in his interest in ancient coins by using the coins as clasps for some of his work. His collection has a unique feeling of

comfort, ease, and sophistication. Vincent creates jewelry pieces for both men and women and the trunk show will feature both.

One of the best parts of Vincent’s work is the value. His connections with the world pearl market allow him to price his designs in a way that represents an unparalleled value.

Also at UPSTAIRS during the Vincent Peach Jewelry Trunk Show will be featured the inspired holiday collection of Christmas decorations and gift s owners Bobby Brown and Todd Richesin have selected for this holiday season. UPSTAIRS is your holiday headquarters with gift s for everyone on your shopping list, holiday décor to make your home festive and fabulous jewelry to wear to all those holiday parties.

‘Mockingjay’ lands early, off ers marathon

According to Fandango and MovieTickets.com, the third fi lm in the “Hunger Games” saga has racked up the highest advance tick-ets sales of 2014. Tickets went on sale Oct. 29. Don’t be surprised to fi nd sev-eral showings sold out this weekend.

The story, based on the third and fi nal novel in Su-zanne Collins’ trilogy, picks up where “Catching Fire” left off. Having destroyed the Hunger Games, Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Law-rence) reluctantly becomes the face of the rebellion in Panem.

Katniss continues on her quest to kill Panem Presi-dent Snow (Donald Suther-land), but meanwhile she has serious trust issues with District 13 President Coin (Julianne Moore), as well as with several allies.

This time of year, it’s not a good idea to upset your momma. For that reason, I suggest that, if discuss-ing the meatloaf you just ordered at Sullivan’s Fine Foods at Rocky Hill, you tell her it is “almost as good as yours.”

You’ll be lying, because my momma made the best meatloaf in the world, and Sullivan’s is better than hers.

Here’s the thing about meatloaf. It’s either school-cafeteria bad or slap-yo-momma good. There really isn’t anything in between. For all its façade of simplic-ity, meatloaf is hard. It can be “too” on so many levels: too mealy, too dense, too soupy, too tomatoey.

Then, even if you get it right, you have to deal with the essential topping. Brown gravy or tomato? If brown, mushrooms or pep-pers? If tomato, ketchup or

sauce? Here’s where Sul-livan’s excels. They get the meatloaf right in density and spices, and they use ground chuck for the right fat content. They don’t over-cook it.

And then they sidestep the whole “sauce” issue by doing both. The top of the meatloaf is slathered with a thick layer of tomato ketch-up that has been baked just enough to stick to the meat. Then the whole slice is cov-ered in a rich brown mush-

room sauce.Sullivan’s has a large se-

lection of “made for meat-loaf” sides, including bour-sin mashed potatoes, green beans, fried corn on the cob

and sweet potato casserole. The whole meal is delicious comfort food.

But Thanksgiving is com-ing up, so I’m warning you: Don’t tell your momma.

As we move into the holi-day season, it’s important to remember that all the spar-kle is not on the tree. This weekend two “sparkling” productions are opening. Both are full of music and fun. Steven Condy,

First, the Oak Ridge Play-house presents “Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella.” Those of a certain age will remember the 1965 produc-tion with Lesley Ann War-ren being waltzed around the ballroom by Stuart Da-mon as both sang, “ten min-utes ago I saw you …”

Those of an even – ahem – more certain age may re-member the same scenario with Julie Andrews and Jon Cypher in 1957.

Featuring such songs as “In My Own Little Corner” and “When You’re Driving Through the Moonlight,” this show is a joy from start to fi nish. My own favorite is the “Stepsisters’ Lament,” sung by the disgruntled sib-lings after the prince has been taken with Cinderella’s beauty:

“She’s a frothy little bub-ble with a fl imsy kind of charm; and with very little trouble, I could break her little arm!”

“Rodgers & Hammer-stein’s Cinderella” begins Friday, Nov. 21, and runs through Sunday, Dec. 7. For tickets and info, www.or-

playhouse.com or call 865-482-9999.

Knoxville Opera presents its fi rst production of the 2014-2015 season with Gil-bert and Sullivan’s “H.M.S. Pinafore.”

“This classic comedy is known for its familiar melo-dies as well as clever word-play that dares to poke fun at politics and authorita-tive fi gures in a delightfully provocative way,” says KOC maestro and executive di-rector Brian Salesky. “Peo-ple of all ages will enjoy the music, characters, elaborate stage setting and costumes.”

The plot plays out aboard a naval ship and centers on the confl icts of love between people from different social classes. The opera takes jabs at the British class system, party politics, the Royal Navy and the ironic rise of unqualifi ed people into authority; even the title injects humor by using the name of the female pinafore garment in reference to the masculine naval warship.

Brian Deedrick of Ed-monton Opera in Alberta, Canada, directs the show. He’s well known and loved by Knoxville Opera Com-pany fans and participants. Production manager Don Townsend says, “Deedrick is hilarious as always to work with and has even written some snappy new dialogue for the cast … adding in lo-cal gags dealing with UT football, etc.”

Townsend is also up-beat about the cast. “Sean Anderson, who sang here recently, is back as a be-fuddled Captain Corcoran, and Donata Cucinotta is his daughter, Josephine, who is in love with Ralph, tenor Josh Kohl.

“But the real star of the show is old friend Steven Condy, who helped inaugu-rate the fi rst Rossini Fes-tival back in 2002 as Don Magnifi co in Rossini’s ‘La Cenerentola.’ Condy is won-derful as the British Lord of the Admiralty, Sir Jo-seph Porter, who has come

to claim Josephine as his bride.”

Local luminaries include University of Tennessee voice professors Lorraine DiSimone and Andrew Wen-tzel, as well as a 16-member chorus.

Having worked for Knox-ville Opera Company myself in the past, I can tell you that opera singers – con-trary to their “diva” image – are actually some of the nicest, most fun-loving people you’ll ever come across. They’ll be throwing themselves full-tilt into this spectacular production, and you’re invited to join in.

Performances are at 8 p.m. Friday, Nov. 21, and 2:30 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 23, at the Tennessee Theatre. Maestro Salesky will host a special opera preview session 45 minutes prior to each performance.

Why FSHFC? We’ve been members of FSHFC for 10 years. I chose Fort Sanders years ago for the atmosphere. I felt comfortable the fi rst day. I wanted a family oriented place. I wanted a fun place for my kids to enjoy while I participated in classes. They’ve grown up here taking swim classes and now that they are in high school and college, they enjoy the wide variety of fi tness classes and services. My husband Chuck plays tennis several times a week.

I know and love the staff and consider them my dear friends. This place is like a second home. Hopefully my thighs will refl ect that someday soon!

Sam Taylor relaxes in the wine tasting room at Dixie Lee Wines

and Liquors. Photo by S. Clark

By Sandra ClarkFarragut Rotary fi nished

another successful auction and wine-tasting fundraiser with the support of two guys named Sam.

The donors are Sam Tay-lor of Dixie Lee Wines and Liquors and Sam Mishu of M&M Development Co.

Here’s what the club’s past president Tom King says:

“The donation by Sam (Taylor) of the wine is an integral part of the success of this event and they don’t just donate the wine. The family and staff of Dixie Lee pour the wine for the tastings and are part of the fun. Sam’s generosity for this event and for our other events as well is an example of how he loves Rotary and the projects and organiza-tions we help each year.

“Sam Mishu donates the food and the combination of what they do allows us to use every penny we raise on the projects we support as a club.

“They’re also two of the nicest people you’ll ever want to meet. It’s an hon-or to call both of them a friend.”

We caught up with Sam Taylor at Dixie Lee Wines and Liquors on the day after local voters had authorized wine in grocery stores start-ing July 1, 2016.

Taylor was unfazed.“We knew it was coming,”

he said. “Things change. We’ll just have to do a better job in other areas.”

The store was fi lled with customers, some buying product by the box. Its lo-cation on Kingston Pike at Watt Road makes it handy for Farragut residents, West Knox County residents and folks who live in adjoining counties. It’s a high-volume store.

“We’ve been blessed,” said Taylor.

The state law that en-abled the referendum on wine in grocery stores also enabled package stores to expand their offerings. Sam and his family added a beer cave to their store in July. The walk-in cooler will be offi cially dedicated from 3-4 p.m. Friday, Dec. 5, an event sponsored by the Farragut West Knoxville Chamber.

Expect Sam’s whole fam-ily to attend.

“We’re all owners,” he

Beer cave, spirits and a guy named Sam

says.Sam Taylor II and his

wife, Linda, are founders, along with Sam’s friend Carl Montgomery who was a partner initially. When Carl retired to Flor-ida, Sam and Linda bought his interest.

Now their four kids are involved as owners and workers at the store: sons Sam III and Andy and daughters Ellen Taylor Jones and Melanie Brown. Andy graduated from law school and prac-

ticed law in both California and Florida before return-ing home in 2013 to join the family business. He’s now the store manager.

Dixie Lee Wines and Liquors is open Mon-day through Saturday from 8 a.m. until 10 p.m. and closed on

Sunday. Info: 865-966-5551. In the beginningSam Taylor has belonged

to Rotary International for 34 years. He spent 21 years in the downtown club and

the last 13 years in the Far-ragut Rotary. His career was as chief fi nancial offi cer for Albers Drug Company. In this role he learned how to value drug stores. He some-times helped friends who were thinking of buying a business. And that’s how he discovered the availability of Dixie Lee Wines and Li-quors.

Sam and Linda had moved to Farragut in 1968. “We had an A&P where the Costco is now, and a Pig-gly Wiggly (grocery store) across from Frontier. … We lived in Village Green subdi-vision,” he recalls.

“Gary Franklin had built the (Dixie Lee) store with the old building right where Watt Road comes out (onto Kingston Pike). He had to sell. Carl (Montgomery) and I were the second or third owners.”

Sam discounts his do-nation to Farragut Rotary, saying he makes a cash con-tribution and then sells the wine. “We don’t want any confl icts (with ABC rules).” He said the key is Sam Mi-shu’s donation of food, pre-pared by the chef at Fox Den Country Club, which

enables the club to keep all proceeds from the event and silent auction.

Growing the business“I don’t work here, I just

hang out,” Sam said from his seat in the store’s wine-tasting room. Through the window we watched Andy and the staff lugging boxes of wine and spirits out to customers’ cars. “I don’t know how we got so busy,” Andy said later.

He says the family busi-ness is a better fi t than prac-ticing law.

Sam and Linda spend winters in Florida. They spend vacation time at “a little place in North Caro-lina.”

A man of faith, Sam says it was hard to take the risk to buy a business when he had kids at home. But he believes “you give back and you get something back.”

Certainly the local Dream Connection, Remote Area Medical, Good Samaritan Center of Lenoir City, Chil-dren’s Hospital and other benefi ciaries of the Farragut Rotary Club can appreciate the generosity of both guys named Sam.

With nearly 1 mil-lion Tennesseans without health insurance, a new Knoxville-based company, Enroll Health, plans to re-duce that number by mak-ing the process fast, easy and affordable for every-one.

Everyone needs health coverage – it’s the law – but many Tennesseans have struggled with new requirements under the

Affordable Care Act.Enroll Health is a divi-

sion of Enrollment First Inc., a national company that has provided health-care solutions to more than 200,000 people over the past decade. Working with all of the major health-in-surance providers (Cigna, Humana, Blue Cross/Blue Shield , Aetna, etc.), Enroll Health will review a per-son’s situation and show

them all of the options available to them for free. They will even determine if that individual qualifi es for subsidies to offset the cost of their coverage. The entire process takes only minutes and costs nothing.

“People really don’t understand the Afford-able Care Act,” said Hazen Mirts, president and CEO of Enroll Health. “We’re helping people who have

had insurance for years and we’re helping people who have never had health coverage. Enroll Health can get health insurance for someone for as little as $50 per month, and many people qualify for monthly premiums lower than that.

Knox County offi ces are in West Town Mall and The Gallery on Kingston Pike. Info: 865-243-3900 or www.EnrollHealth.com/.

By Bonny MillardThe Provision Center

for Proton Therapy, which opened earlier this year, provides cutting-edge pro-ton radiation treatment for cancer patients and is quickly making Knoxville a national medical destina-tion.

David Raubach, vice president of operations for Provision, spoke to the Ro-tary Club of Farragut about the center’s aggressive treatment, which reduces side effects associated with conventional radiation treatment. The center, a nonprofi t treatment facility, was founded by Knoxvillian Terry Douglass.

Proton therapy provides more precise targeting of cancer cells, destroying them while minimizing damage to surrounding tis-sues. Raubach explained that protons are heavier and can be stopped after enter-ing the body. This way the protons are directed and concentrated in the tumor.

X-ray radiation therapy sends beams that travel all the way through the body, damaging healthy tissues,

he said.Proton therapy has been

around for a long time, gain-ing FDA approval in 1988, but the cost was almost pro-hibitive, he said. The Pro-vision Center, part of the Provision Health Alliance, is located on a campus with several other medical fa-cilities at Dowell Springs off Middlebrook Pike.

“The goal was to create a world-class cancer campus here in Knoxville,” he said.

A cyclotron, used in the treatment process, weighs 220 tons or the equivalent of two space shuttles and had to be transported on the Tennessee River.

“It was quite a process getting this piece of equip-ment in,” he said.

The center has had pa-tients from 18 states and three different countries, Raubach said.

Medicare and some in-surance companies will pay for treatment, but progress is being made in getting coverage. The Provision Cares Foundation is avail-able to help patients.

Let’s ‘friend’ people with dementia

By Bill DockeryKnoxville goes by a

lot of labels: “Big Orange Country” for UT sports, or “Scruffy City,” an insult that has turned into a point of

pride.Now a

group of health-care profession-als is deter-mined to paint Knox-ville purple, making it the nation’s

fi rst offi cial dementia-friend-ly city.

Carolyn Pointer Neil un-veiled the broad outline of the Purple Cities Alliance to a Town Hall East meet-ing on Nov. 11. Neil, who is president of Elder Advo-cates in Knoxville, is one of the public fronts for the project, which aims to alert Knoxville organizations and individuals to the needs of people with brain-related ill-nesses.

“The Purple Cities Al-liance wants to make our community aware of the people with dementia in our midst and educate everyone to respond in ways that are helpful and compassionate,” Neil said. The project uses purple from the “Purple An-gel” icon, developed in Eu-rope as a marker for demen-tia awareness and concern.

Neil told the Town Hall East gathering about a re-cent incident that shows the need for the program.

“A little lady drove into the parking lot at Kroger’s,” Neil said. “When she was ready to go into the store, she couldn’t remember how to get out of her car. Soon a crowd gathered around, all trying to tell her how to un-lock the doors.

“Then the fi re truck showed up.”

Neil called that a demen-tia emergency that stresses the sufferer, confuses by-standers and burdens fam-

ily caregivers. She said the alliance’s developing pro-grams will help address these concerns.

“We need to be teach-ing our community the ba-sics of dementia and how to respond,” Neil said. “I call it CPR for brain disease.” The programs being devel-oped will train businesses, churches, police, fi refi ghters and other emergency per-sonnel to be aware of and to respond to someone suffer-ing a public crisis.

The kickoff celebration is scheduled for May 11, 2015, on Market Square in down-town Knoxville. Both Knox-ville Mayor Madeline Rog-ero and Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett are commit-ted to supporting the effort. By then, the alliance task force plans to have 100 or more businesses, agencies, community organizations and civic groups enrolled. The alliance has posted a Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/demen-tiafriendlycommunity.

The alliance is already drawing on a wide comple-ment of people and organi-zations who serve the aging population, including the Pat Summitt Foundation, Alzheimer’s Tennessee, the East Tennessee Alzheimer’s Association, the area Agen-cy on Aging and Disability and the Knoxville Offi ce on Aging. All three Knoxville-based hospital/health sys-tems are involved, as are Courtyards Senior Living, Trinity Hills Senior Living, and other area senior-care facilities.

Some 80 percent of de-mentia cases involve Al-zheimer’s disease, with vas-cular dementia making up much of the remaining 20 percent. Worldwide, about 44 million people have brain disease.

When is a majority vote for “guilty” a verdict of “not guilty?” Every time.

‘Order in the

court!’

Knoxville lawyer Scott Frith explained that con-cept and more to students at Sarah Moore Greene Mag-net Academy’s newspaper club last week. Sponsored by Shopper-News, the club meets each Wednesday af-ter school. The fi rst session is primarily third-graders; the second is mostly fi fth-graders.

Frith (whose email ad-dress is [email protected]) staged a mock trial. I was the defendant, accused of stealing a yel-low highlighter. Scott talked about an attorney’s job as he coached each participant – the judge, the prosecutor, the defense attorney and

even the witnesses. The kids were quick

to improvise. And we all learned something. The fi rst jury split 4-2 for guilty. The verdict? Not guilty, of course.

Scott explained: A ver-dict is not decided by ma-jority vote. A guilty verdict must be unanimous. If it’s not unanimous, the verdict

is not guilty.Wow. It felt great to be

exonerated. I was so happy I caught up with victim Destiny Woods in the hall and offered her highlighter back.

Carol Springer, co-spon-sor of the club, said after-ward that a better defense would have been to argue that the yellow object in my

hand was a banana and I was running because I was really, really hungry. But why argue with a win?

Danea Summerford be-came Ruth White’s favorite because she’s so handy with a camera. Now she tops my list because as my defense lawyer she sprang me on a technicality. The sky’s the limit for this kid.

By Betty BeanThe congregation of one

of Knoxville’s oldest – and most visible – churches is in the process of b r e a k i n g up over dis-agreements with its na-tional gov-erning body over social

issues, primarily same-sex marriage.

In a letter to members of Second Presbyterian Church dated Nov. 8, Senior Pastor Bryan A. Wilson announced his intention to resign effec-

“… I can no longer, in good conscience and with theological integrity, con-tinue as a teaching Elder (minister) in the Presbyteri-an Church U.S.A. (PCUSA),” Wilson said.

Wilson will join the Evangelical Covenant Order of Presbyterians (ECO) as part of the leadership team of “a new missional church forming in our city that will launch next month.” He quoted Philippians 1: 3-6, Paul’s farewell to the church in Philippi.

“Paul had to have penned

these words with tears of joy and sadness dropping onto his manuscript, because that is what is happening to me as I type these words to you. I love you, Second Pres-byterian Church. May you continue to pursue all that God has for you!”

Second Presbyterian was founded in 1818 when it broke away from First Pres-byterian Church over issues as spiritual as original sin and as temporal as collect-ing rent on pews. Lifelong member Bo Shafer said he and other members are not ready to talk publicly about the schism within the im-posing church on the high-

There are currently 162 congregations and 263 pas-tors that have joined ECO, according to the organi-zation’s website. The only church in Tennessee so far is First Presbyterian in Greenback.

It’s a diffi cult (and expen-sive) process to leave PCU-SA to join ECO:

However, he made it clear that he is not happy with the direction chosen by the na-tional organization.

“The PCUSA has changed what the Bible says and ap-proved same-sex marriages and all that sort of stuff. A lot of folks don’t agree with that. There’s a whole bunch of stuff going on, but we’ll need to wait and see,” he said.

When asked if it will be traumatic to leave the only church home he’s ever known, he said, “I’m much more a believer in the Bible than I am in rules. I believe

everything the Bible says.”Attorney Billy Stokes, a

member of Second Pres-byterian for 20 years, said what’s happening is “heart-breaking for a lot of people.” He too is unhappy with some of the dictates from PCUSA, but not so much about gay marriage.

“I am more upset by the PCUSA deciding that we as a denomination should some-how follow the BDS scheme of boycott, divest and sanc-tion Israel over Palestinian issues. I am a strong sup-porter of Israel’s right to ex-ist, and I wish that it could exist in peace for a while. I would have to betray my own conscience to support any or-ganization that is anti-Israel,

The CCS Theatre Arts Department is working on its fi rst production. “A Seussifi ed Christmas Carol” is a whimsi-cal reinvention of Dickens’ most beloved Christmas story in wacky rhymed couplets. With zoot fruited juices and binka bird geese, from Bed-Headed Fred to Timmy Loo Hoo, this tale of glori-ous holiday cheer is similar to something Dr. Seuss might have come up with -- if he ever had his way with the story. This one act play is a comedic take of Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol.”

Many of the Concord students are acting in their fi rst roles for this production. With a cast of sixth through 12th graders, director Christi Watson has seen incredible teamwork in her cast. Expe-rienced students are coming alongside the younger actors and all are eager and working hard at rehearsal. By double-casting the lead roles, each evening’s performance will be unique.

When asked about her objectives for this fi rst produc-tion, Watson said, “Theatre arts teaches bravery, team-work, discipline and creativity like nothing else. Theatre arts is also an amazing vehicle to

bring the joy of Jesus to oth-ers. Many of these students are brand new to theatre arts. My primary objectives with this production are to foster in the students the life skills that theatre a rts teaches and to allow the students to experi-ence the joy of sharing the Christmas spirit through live theatre. In addition to our on-campus performances, we will be taking the production to Shining Stars Club, a ministry

of Water Angels, as well as to Maynard Elementary. The en-tire set is mobile. I want these students to experience the joy of using theatre arts for the good of our community.”

“A Seussifi ed Christmas Carol” will run 6 p.m. Thurs-day and Friday, Dec. 11 and 12, in the 4Kidz Theater lobby. The show stars CCS middle and high school students

as well as a mystery faculty cameo. This play will run just under one hour, so families planning on attending the Ann Voscamp event on Friday evening will be able to walk down the hall just in time for the Compassion International event.

Tickets are $7 per person at the door if available, or $5 per person in advance by contact-ing Concord Christian School, 865-966-8858.

“The staff at the Therapy

Center was professional, right

from when you walk in the

door to when you leave,”

Shawn Peterson (left) said.

Also pictured: Jerrod Adams.

pressure to Peterson’s Achilles

causes pain beyond just the feet,

ASTYM treatments address each

body part with a diff erent sized tool

and a varying amount of pressure.

ASTYM treatment gets nurse back on her feetAs a home health nurse for Covenant

Health, Shawn Peterson relies on being able to stand for hours, move easily to assist patients and drive long distances. “I have to have my feet to do my job,” she said. “But I could barely even walk.”

After struggling with foot, ankle and calf pain for months, Peterson was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis in both feet. The con-dition is caused by an increase in tension in the arch of the foot, usually due to physical activity or wearing unsupportive shoes. The arch is supported by the plantar fascia tis-sue, which can tear and send sharp pains through the foot and up into shins and calves. People who work on their feet like Peterson are at a higher risk to contract the condition.

“Shawn had a chronic injury for more than a year,” Jerrod Adams, Parkwest physi-cal therapist, said. “She tried different treat-ments to resolve it, but nothing worked.”

During one physical therapy appointment, Adams spoke to Peterson about ASTYM, in which he and another Parkwest Therapy Center staff member are certifi ed. The treatment is used to address a wide variety of diagnoses, including shin splints, shoulder pain and plantar fasciitis.

“I read all about it and saw that profes-sional athletes use it, so I wanted to try it,” Peterson said. “I just wanted to get better, whatever it took.”

Twice a week for four weeks, Peterson’s physical therapy stretches and strengthen-ing were supplemented by the ASTYM Sys-

Six tips for proper shoe fi tWearing old or unsupportive shoes can

cause issues in your feet, calves, knees and hips. By considering the following tips when you go shoe shopping, you may be able to limit the likelihood of injuries and conditions like plantar fasciitis.

1. Shop late in the day. You may not notice, but your feet are actually larger later in the day. Make sure to shop in the after-noon or evening to get shoes that will fi t you all day long.

2. Measure your feet. Even if you’ve always been a size 8, have a sales associ-ate measure your feet to confi rm your size. Shoe size changes along with weight and age.

3. Flex the shoe. The bottom of your shoe should fl ex at the ball of the foot, not in the middle.

4. Choose the right shoe for your activity level. Walkers need a fl at heel because they land on their heels. Runners

land mid-foot and require the extra stabil-ity and support of a fl ared heel.

5. Don’t rely on “breaking in” your shoes. Shoes should be comfortable when you buy them. Uncomfortable shoes cancause you to change your gait and possiblylead to injury.

6. Take your old shoes with you.Wear patterns of your old shoes can helpthe sales associate determine the propershoe for your stride.

If you are already experiencing foot or legpain, make an appointment at the ParkwestTherapy Center to speak with a physicaltherapist. The staff can help you rehabilitateyour injuries and prevent them in the future.They can also provide advice and exercisesto increase strength, correct gait andmaintain a healthy lifestyle without the riskof injury. For more information, visitCovenantHealth.com/Therapy Centersor call us at 374-PARK.

What can ASTYM treat? Damaged scar tissue can result from trauma, surgery, repetitive strain and im-

mobilization. By addressing the soft tissue that has become dysfunctional, ASTYM can help rebuild it and prevent further injury. The most common diagnoses that can benefi t from ASTYM treatment are:

Post-surgical scarring

Post-traumatic fi brosis

Trigger fi nger

Carpal tunnel syndrome

Lateral epicondylitis

Medial epicondylitis

DeQuervain’s tenosynovitis

Wrist sprains

Shoulder pain

Plantar fasciitis

Chronic ankle sprains

Achilles tendinitis

Shin splints

Anterior knee pain

Patellar tendinitis

Hamstring sprains

IT band syndrome

Hip pain/trochanteric bursitis

the damaged tissue in between treatments.This additional movement and attentioncontributes to the breaking down of dam-aged tissue. Each body part takes about 15-20 minutes to treat at each session.

Over time, the ASTYM treatments al-low the damaged tissue to be absorbed intohealthier tissue, which is then realignedand strengthened through regular physicaltherapy exercises.

“The important thing about ASTYM is that it is evidence-based. The studies showreal physiological changes on the cellularlevel of the tissue,” Adams explained. “Pa-tients make measured improvement in painlevels and ability to function.”

For Peterson, these physiological im-provements translate into improved qualityof life and the ability to get back on her feetcomfortably. “I had so much pain every dayjust walking and driving,” she said. “I hadgrown to living in pain day-to-day. Now thepain is gone. You don’t realize how impor-tant your feet are until you can’t use them.”

To be considered for ASTYM treatment,the patient may be referred to the ParkwestTherapy Center by any physician, nursepractitioner or physician assistant. Beyondplantar fasciitis, ASTYM treats any chronic,acute condition. “There is no typicalASTYM patient,” Adams said. “Anyone whohas overuse injuries from manual labor ortyping on a keyboard all day is a candidate.”

tem, an evidence-based treatment that uses external pressure to break down damaged tissue. Each session, Peterson’s feet, calves and shins were treated by the ASTYM plas-tic tools, which come in three different shapes and sizes to address different body parts. Though the pressure is intense, Pe-terson said that it “hurt so good. They have to apply enough pressure to make a differ-

ence, but it’s very relaxing in the end. I felt like I could bounce and move again.”

“There are no signifi cant side effects to the ASTYM treatment,” Adams said. “Up to 20 percent of patients have slight bruising and general soreness, but stretching before and after treatment helps that.”
