Langlois is new principal at Powell High

Nathan Langlois is the new principal at Powell High

School, replac-ing Ken Dunlap who has been assigned as an assistant prin-cipal at West High School.

Langlois is currently an assistant prin-

cipal at Hardin Valley Academy and a fellow in the 2013 cohort of the Principal Leadership Academy. He has also served as an assistant principal at Powell High School.

Langlois began his career in education as a social studies teacher in Cobb County, Ga., in 1994. He entered school administration in 2004 and served as an administrative as-sistant and assistant principal in Georgia, then joined the Knox County Schools in 2010.

He holds a bachelor’s degree in political science from West-ern Michigan University and a master’s degree in educational leadership from Jacksonville State University.

By Cindy TaylorCVS has brought a new choice

for medical care to Powell with the opening of its MinuteClinic inside the store at 417 Emory Road. Mayor Tim Burchett participated in the June 26 ribbon-cutting.

The clinic offers many of the same services as a physician’s of-fi ce, plus longer hours than most, and promises less wait time. Pam Bolen is a clinic practice manager for MinuteClinic in Nashville.

“We provide very similar servic-es as a physician’s offi ce but the way we retain our patients is our cus-tomer service,” said Bolen. “When it comes down to the relationship that is what keeps patients coming back to us.”

Clinic practice manager Diane Pinkard says CVS pioneered the movement to establish medical clinics inside stand-alone pharma-cies with the opening of its fi rst clinic in 2006.

“The clinics offer accessibility, convenience and affordability while keeping quality care and customer service a top priority,” she said.

The clinic is open seven days a week and no appointment is needed.

after move to Middlebrook

By Betty BeanA trio of Tennova brass turned

out last week to reassure a crowd of North Knoxville residents and fi ve members of City Council that Ten-nova will maintain a strong pres-ence in the facility formerly known as St. Mary’s. They also said that plans to relocate Physicians Region-al Medical Center to Middlebrook Pike are moving forward.

Tennova Director of Develop-ment Melanie Robinson said Ten-nova is continuing to spend money on the old hospital on the edge of the inner city, primarily in renova-tions to the LL2 main lobby and St. Mary’s Women’s Pavilion which are in process.

She listed the assets at the old hospital – it is the only accredited

chest pain center in the county and the busiest emergency room in the county. And the presence of the

Sisters of Mercy, founders of St. Mary’s 83 years ago, is a huge plus.

“There is a great culture there start-ed by the sisters. That’s incredibly important to us. We have pledged to keep the sisters

there as long as they want to be,” Robinson said.

But she said there are serious problems as well, foremost of which are the wishes of doctors who want to follow the population growth on the west side of town. There are also problems associated with operat-ing and maintaining a 1.6 million square foot building, parts of which

are severely dated.“Those are the realities,” Robin-

son said. “We considered four op-tions.”

Those options are maintaining the status quo, which Robinson said was rejected by physicians, the ma-jority of whom “… are choosing to practice elsewhere,” she said. “Our physicians bring our patients in the door.”

The second option – “status quo plus” – is a major remodel that would have to begin with an $80 million electrical upgrade.

“This would deeply interrupt pa-tient care today. This is our largest busiest hospital and we cannot do this,” Robinson said.

Option three is to build a fl agship medical center at Tennova North, the new facility off Emory Road at I-75.

“Physicians are not excited about

Tennova promises north presence

Garfi eld

that option,” Robinson said, adding that staging such a move would be extremely diffi cult.

The fourth, and preferred, op-tion is to move Physicians Regional Medical Center to Middlebrook Pike where Tennova has optioned 107 acres. Robinson said this move will better serve patients from an 11-county area.

Most members of the audience are residents of North Knoxville and/or Fountain City, many of whom said they were born, or had had children born at St. Mary’s. A sprinkling of West Hills residents who live near the new site were present, as well. They are upset that they were given no notice of a bill that was approved by the legislature to remove the scenic highway desig-nation from the segment of Middle-

Magic at Powell PlayhouseBy Betty Bean

Powell Playhouse maestro Nita Buell Black smells magic in the air – Excalibur Magic. Fourth generation magician Lance John-son, acclaimed as the South’s most gifted abracadabra practitioner, is bringing his act, “A New Twist in Reality,” to the playhouse Friday, July 19.

“This is Lance’s solo debut at Powell Playhouse, and I’m very ex-cited,” Black said. “He has an as-sistant, and I don’t know whether he’s going to levitate this lady or cut her in half.”

Powell Playhouse regulars got a taste of what Johnson can do when he appeared there in January as a supporting act in a show called “Rhythm and Laughter” which featured his father, ventriloquist Wade Johnson, and his dummy, Lance Johnson performs magic. Photo by Nancy Anderson To page A-2

Willie Siegle. Both father and son were hits, and the younger John-son, who is from Chattanooga, impressed Black so much that she invited him back as a headliner.

“It’s going to be fast-paced and music-fi lled,” she said. “His broth-er, Dr. Mark Johnson, an internal medicine specialist who practices here in Powell, will be master of ceremonies, so it’s really going to

“(Ken) Dunlap has done a very good job as principal at Powell High School, but ex-pressed some desire to further develop his instructional and data skills, and his new role at West High School will allow him to do that.

“The community and I ap-preciate his service to Powell High School, and wish him all the best in his new position.”

be a Johnson and Johnson and Johnson night.”

She’s one Johnson short, says Lance Johnson.

“My niece, Carley John-son, will actually be doing the MC-ing, and this will be the fi rst time in 30 years that our family has done a show together – a complete John-son family show. I am going to open the show and go for about 25 minutes. Dad will come on and do his ventrilo-quist act and then I’ll come back and close the show.”

When asked to defi ne the difference between a magi-cian and an illusionist, John-son cracked an old trade joke:

“If you are an illusionist,

you can charge more money for shows,” he said, laugh-ing. “An illusionist does the big box tricks. I have a ware-house full of illusions.”

Lance, whose day job is working for Chattanooga commercial developer CBL & Associates Properties Inc., says it would have been hard for him not to be interested in magic, which he started absorbing at an early age from his grandfather, James Johnson.

“From the fi rst time I saw my grandfather practicing or doing shows, I was hooked,” he said. “Out of everyone in the family, I’m the only one who does it professionally.

No one but me. Nobody else really wanted to do it. I have all the magic he had from years ago, and a lot of the magic he passed down to me is not made anymore, and people don’t get to see it very much. … I keep a lot of his magic in storage because it’s too valuable to take a chance on it getting broken or lost, or something.”

Lance began doing magic tricks when he was 10 years old, performing for paying audiences when he was 13. A graduate of the Bermuda Mavericks Comedy School, he has worked comedy clubs all over the country, primar-ily in the Southeast. He has also performed at schools, colleges and events at For-tune 500 companies.

His assistant, Stacey Mor-row, will be with him for the Playhouse gig, and they plan to do two spectacular illusions, one of which will be their signature illusion, “Tubed Out,” which he says is diffi cult to describe.

“To put it on paper would not do it justice,’” he said. “It’s a puzzle illusion – she’s in a box and I put tubes and spears through the whole thing. It’s basically a dissec-tion illusion. Pretty neat.

“These shows like the Powell show are shows I love to do – family shows, magic for kids to enjoy, as well as parents. There’s a lot of comedy and audience participation. And parents are saying, ‘Wow! How did he do that?’”

MY TWO CENTS

JakeMabe

Madge Cain is retiring from

the Clinton Highway branch

of ORNL Federal Credit Union

on July 27. It’s her third offi cial

retirement and her fourth job. Photos by Jake Mabe

Madge Cain doesn’t know whether she’s going to like retirement or not. After all, she retired twice before.

She’s 85, looks at least 15 years younger and says she loves people. So, she’s particularly going to miss her part-time job as a teller at the ORNL Federal Credit Union’s Clinton Highway branch. She’s worked there for two and one-half days a week for 17 years and only had to take two sick days.

“They’ve been so good to me,” Madge says. “I didn’t want any promotion. I just wanted to keep my little win-dow.”

Madge grew up on Cab-bage Road in Halls and graduated in the Halls High Class of 1946. Her father, Will Coomer, had a dairy.

“I grew up milking cows and buttering milk.”

Will had a delivery route and one of his customers gave Madge piano lessons in exchange for milk.

She went to work at Park Bank as a fi le clerk right out of high school. That lasted until a young man named Charles Cain noticed the red-headed girl playing the organ during a revival at Sa-lem Baptist Church.

Charles took one look and said, “I’m going to marry that girl.” And he did, two years later, in January 1950.

Madge stayed home to raise her children until Charles, an electrical engi-neer at KUB, died of leuke-mia in 1965. She was 38 and by that time had three girls: Anne, 12; Carolyn, 10, and Linda, 6.

“KUB offered me a job, but it just had two weeks off in the summer and I needed more time with the girls. My two sisters were in edu-cation, so they wrote (then Knox County Schools Super-intendent) Mildred Doyle a letter.”

Madge went to work as the secretary and bookkeep-er at Cedar Bluff Elementary (and later Cedar Bluff Inter-mediate) for 13 years.

“At the time, I thought it took an eternity to (drive) there!”

She eventually found a job closer to home at Transus Motor Freight on Pleasant Ridge Road.

“I worked there for 18 years until it sold out to an-

other freight company.” That’s when somebody at

Beaver Dam Baptist, where she attends, told Madge that ORNL was hiring senior citi-zens.

She’s been blessed with good health and gives God all the credit.

“I’ve been in the hospi-tal three times, to have my three kids, and that’s it. The Lord has been so good. He also helped me with my chil-dren. I don’t know how I got them through UT and all the bills paid.”

Madge says her mother, Bessie, lived with her for 10 years and helped with the children. She’s quite proud of them.

Anne Allen is the music secretary at Beaver Dam. Carolyn Lovelace is the ex-ecutive assistant to the Ten-nessee Orthopaedic Alliance in Nashville. Linda Ruth, an architect with Auburn Uni-versity, leads the university’s Student Abroad program in Ariccia, Italy, 20 miles south of Rome. Madge, Anne and Carolyn visited Linda over-seas, a trip she’ll never for-get.

She also has fi ve grand-children, three great-grand-children and was expecting another great-grandchild early last week.

Madge likes to put quilts together and enjoys yard work, although she fi nally gave up mowing her acre of land two years ago.

Asked about future plans she says, “I don’t know. I’ll do some kind of volunteer work. I like people. I’ve got to help people.”

She’ll also continue to sing in the Silvertone choir and the sanctuary choir at Beaver Dam. And she’ll en-joy spending time on her screened-in porch, which she calls, “My haven of rest on this earth.”

You can take one thing to the bank. Whatever she ends up doing, Madge Cain won’t be sitting still. Visit Jake Mabe online at jakemabe.

Third retirement’s the charm

for Madge Cain

By Libby MorganFriday evening, awards

were presented at the Fountain City Art Center for a spectacular array of area artists’ talents sub-mitted to the center’s an-nual open show. The judge, Terry Chandler, said he found it diffi cult to nar-row down the fi eld to just 10 awards out of 91 entries in the exhibit. The show is free to the viewing public through August 8.

Best of Show was awarded to Lee Edge for a watercolor portrait, “Por-

trait of Di M.” First and third places were awarded to Brad Parker, and Cody Swaggerty’s “Sea Turtle” took second place.

Honorable mention was awarded for works by Mar-ty McConnaughey, Bob Weir, Janet Trewhitt, Au-rora Harrison Bull, Kate McCullough and Johanna Humphrey.

Sylvia Williams, art center director, says, “We were especially pleased that an award went to Cody Swaggerty, a young artist who has worked

diligently over the last few years since high school to improve his technique and has clearly succeeded, as demonstrated by his three entries. Another promis-ing young artist with two pieces in the show is Bran-di Lee, who won an award at last year’s open show.”

The exhibit includes pot-tery, amazing decorative gourds, a handmade book, a leather and fossil sculp-ture, oils, watercolors, pas-tels, graphite pencil draw-ings, fused glass and many mixed media pieces.

For more informa-tion about this exhibit, future exhibits, events, classes and workshops at the center: 357-2787, f c a r t c e n t e r @ k n o l -ogy.net, www.fountaincityartctr.com or on Face-book.

The center is open Tuesday and Thursday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Wednesday and Friday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and most Saturdays 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and is lo-cated in the old library next to the Fountain City Park at 213 Hotel Avenue.

One member of the audience asked whether Tennova’s parent compa-ny, Naples, Florida-based Health Management As-sociates Inc., is on sound footing, and whether it is up for sale.

Tennova CEO Mike Garfi eld said he couldn’t give a detailed answer because the CEO of HMA has resigned effective July 31, and Glenview Capital Management LLC, a hedge fund that owns a minority share of HMA stock is at-tempting to gain control

of the company. But he re-assured his audience that Tennova is on fi rm fi nan-cial footing and remains committed to serving its Knoxville patients.

“We had to get on board 20 months ago and figure out why Mercy (the suc-cessor to St. Mary’s) was having so many financial difficulties. We’ve already done it. That’s behind

us. Health Management knows how to run a hos-pital.”

Garfield said Tennova is making a 50-year com-mitment to Knoxville.

The meeting was ar-ranged by 4th District City Council member Nick Della Volpe. Also present were Mark Campen, Dan-iel Brown, Finbarr Saun-ders and Duane Grieve.

Storyteller Georgi Schmitt is surrounded by children as she “monkeys” around at the Powell

Library. Pictured are Landon Godfrey, 6, Eva Boch, 3, Ethan Mittleider, 4, Chloe Godfrey, 4, Ever-

leigh Lambright, 2, Schmitt and Clayton Bock, 5.

Stories by SchmittBefore she was halfway

into her fi rst song, enter-tainer Georgi Schmitt had her audience enthralled.

Schmitt performed songs, dances and storytelling at the Powell Branch Library on June 22. Even the shy kids were practically in her lap within a few minutes.

Though she can spin a yarn with the best, Schmitt never planned to make sto-rytelling a career. Schmitt taught dance and music classes in New Orleans and was asked by a parent if she had ever considered story-telling. The parent worked for a booking agency, and once Schmitt agreed to give storytelling a try, her new career was born. The move to Tennessee some years ago brought an even larger vari-ety of tales to her portfolio.

“When I moved here I found stories from this area that I love to tell,” she said.

Schmitt taught Ameri-can stories along with mu-sic and dance to children in Thailand for two years. She has been back in the United States for a year and has kept on telling tales. Chil-dren are drawn to her viva-cious charm and love that they can perform right along with her.

“I don’t just perform for them. I get them on their feet to dance and sing with me.”

Schmitt, known as “Oma” to her fi ve grandchildren, says she has always told them stories. That helps keep her in great form.

“They keep me on my toes. You can’t mess up a story because they will let you know.”

Schmitt has a daughter who has begun telling sto-ries to her own children so the family tradition can continue.

Over two decades ago, the University of Tennessee acquired by gift the historic Eugenia Williams home at 4848 Lyons View Pike. This home was designed by the noted Knoxville architect John Fanz Staub in 1940. The only other surviving Staub house in Knoxville is Hopecote on Melrose Av-enue, also owned by UT and used for offi cial visitors.

At the time, it was thought the house, which is over 10,000-square-feet on 24 acres, might become the residence for the UT presi-dent. In fact, a luncheon was held on April 26, 2006, at the Williams home hosted by then UT President John Petersen where a campaign to raise $3 million was discussed. Jim and Natalie Haslam were to chair that campaign.

The Haslams, prominent attorney and preservationist Tom McAdams and his wife, Melissa, and Sherri Lee at-tended. Melissa McAdams’ mother, Donna Kerr, and late father, Bill Gallivan, had lived immediately east of the house for many years. That home is now owned by UT Trustee Charlie Anderson.

Pilot CEO Jimmy Haslam lives two houses west of the Williams house.

A 24-page brochure had been printed by UT which pictured the Haslams as leading this campaign with the house to be used as a president’s residence. Later the idea of the UT president having a home provided by the university was abandoned and the current home on Cherokee Boulevard still has not sold despite several attempts.

Why this campaign was abandoned remains specula-tion. No one is really saying, although it is thought the UT trustees in 2006 wanted it dropped because it might detract from the $100 mil-lion capital campaign then starting for UT.

On June 13, I toured the house with UT Trustee Raja Jubran. It was a fi rst time visit for both of us.

Interestingly, my re-quest to see the interior of the house had been ini-tially turned down by the UT system public relations

The Eugenia Williams home File photo by Wendy Smith

Williams home merits protection

offi ce on the grounds the in-terior posed a liability risk. When I told them that Ju-bran would be accompany-ing me, the interior became available for inspection after all, along with the grounds.

The house has clearly deteriorated, with the ceiling falling down in one room and wallpaper starting to slip off the walls in some areas. However, the marble baths and fi replaces are still in place. The carriage house in the back near the river is almost totally hidden by growth which UT grounds-keepers have not cut back.

From Lyons View Pike, the outdoor maintenance appears adequate. However, a closer look shows much more needs to be done. Keith Carver, executive as-sistant to the UT president, accompanied us. It was a new visit for him as well, and to his credit he tells me grounds maintenance will improve soon.

This is truly a historic treasure and merits protec-tion and use. As recently as seven years ago there was a UT effort to make it a presi-dential residence. Today, UT seems to have no idea what to do with it. It needs atten-tion and use. Its continued decay can only become a great embarrassment to the university.

■ The recent commit-tee named to study uses for the World’s Fair Park has attracted anxious attention from those who do not un-derstand why the committee does not include a single representative of the active Fort Sanders neighbor-hood association. For a city administration concerned about neighborhoods, such an omission is really strange and hard to explain.

New site for safety center

This former church at 3343 Dewine Road, could become Knox County’s new safety center. Photo by Ruth White

The safety center, a plan to alleviate jail overcrowd-ing by offering short-term treatment to non-violent mentally ill and/or intoxi-cated inmates, is a step closer with last week’s an-nouncement that Helen Ross McNabb has pur-chased the former New Vi-sion Fellowship church near Ball Camp Pike.

McNabb already operates a crisis stabilization unit on adjacent property.

County Commissioner Amy Broyles, who has sup-ported the safety center concept, but represents many constituents who have complained that their neighborhoods are already overburdened by social ser-vice agencies, announced the change in plans via email last week:

“I am happy to let you know that our fi rst choice location for the safety cen-ter, the current crisis stabi-lization unit on Ball Camp Road, is now a reality! Al-

though we still cannot build on that property, Helen Ross McNabb just bought the ad-joining property, a church that went into foreclosure. We can put the safety center on that property. Kudos to HRM for taking the steps to make it happen!”

McNabb Center CEO Andy Black confi rmed that the community mental health agency has bought property for the safety cen-ter next door to its Center-Pointe Detoxifi cation and Crisis Stabilization Center, and that the church build-ing on the property that formerly housed the New Vision Fellowship can be re-modeled to meet safety cen-ter standards.

“We bought it simply be-

cause it is adjacent to our property. If it is accepted by the city and county, we feel that it has great potential for a safety center.”

Back in February, Black, Sheriff Jimmy “J.J.” Jones and District Attorney Ran-dy Nichols met with North Knoxville residents and presented the plan to build the safety center next door to the Helen Ross McNabb Center on W. Springdale Avenue in Oakwood Lin-coln Park. They were met with complaints that the 37917 zip code has already been asked to accommodate more than its share of social service agencies – particu-larly those dealing with the homeless population.

In addition to saving

money by remodeling rather than building new, locating next door to the Center-Pointe facility will create money-saving effi ciencies, Black said.

“We will create savings in staff time and transporta-tion. Rather than an offi cer arresting them and taking them to jail, they would be diverted through this safety center and triaged here. Al-cohol and drug assessment is a 23-hour process, and if they have mental health issues they would have the opportunity to go through the crisis stabilization unit for up to three days.”

The Ball Camp Road property is about three miles from the Springdale Avenue mental health center.

The first rule: Show upArthur Seymour Jr. is

the Perry Mason of Knox County zoning. He almost always wins and he’s even sometimes right. Last week he was absolutely correct in his efforts to rezone Phil-lip Garrett’s property on Schaeffer Road southeast of Hardin Valley Road.

But he lost because three commissioners had some-thing better to do than show up for the meeting.

Courthouse politico Nick McBride led the opposition. Actually, Nick was the op-position.

Garrett, who lives on the property, wanted to rezone for up to 8.5 dwelling units per acre. McBride, who lives in Harrison Springs, didn’t want apartments across his back fence.

The rezoning had passed MPC 14-1 and the Tennessee Technology Corridor Devel-opment Authority unani-

mously, and it would have passed County Commission if three commissioners had not been absent.

Amy Broyles, Tony Nor-man and Jeff Ownby missed the vote, which failed 4-4. Under commission rules, a successful vote must have a majority of the body (or 6 of 11), so Seymour’s challenge was to get 6 of the 8 com-missioners present.

Brad Anders, in whose district the property lies, made the motion for rezon-ing and voted yes. He was joined by R. Larry Smith, Dave Wright and Sam McKenzie.

Voting no were Richard Briggs, Mike Brown, Ed Shouse and Mike Ham-mond.

Garrett cannot bring back this proposal for one year, although Seymour said afterwards he can bring a different proposal.

Seymour argued that re-zoning for 8.5 dwelling units per acre simply made the property more marketable. He noted that a buyer would have to secure approval for his site plans from all appli-cable authorities.

Seymour said traffi c ac-cess would be onto Har-din Valley Road and there would be a 100-foot setback between the development and adjacent subdivision.

“There must be two more hearings before any-thing can be built,” he said. “That’s double protection for Harrison Springs.”

Also on June 24, the

commission voted to give $35,000 to Mobile Meals (instead of the $500,000 requested by Broyles).

Wright complained about debris on railroad rights-of-way in the 8th District, leading Brown to mention three “one-lane railroad un-derpasses” in his district. Brown concluded: “That sucks.”

The agenda was fi nished early, perhaps leading to the absences of Norman, Bro-yles and Ownby for the re-zoning meeting at 5 p.m.

Commissioners have a responsibility to attend the once-a-month meeting. Not showing up is irresponsible and does a disservice to citi-zens.

Just ask Philip Garrett.

NATURE NOTES | Dr. Bob Collier

Ah, summer! We whined and complained for months that winter would never end, spring was cold and wet, and then, there it was, Friday, June 21, the first day of summer!

After all these years, the beginning of summer still calls forth the glorious feeling of school being out, of long, hot days filled with no plans or schedules other than to be outdoors from daylight to dark, and then doing it all again the next day, and the next, for days and weeks to come.

And outdoors was the key. There was very little to hold a kid indoors then. Being called indoors for supper was usually the main time milepost of the day. And of course there was the occasional rainy day; two in a row was al-most unbearable. Mostly, it was out there with the sky, grass, trees and crit-ters, bicycles to be ridden and creeks to be waded in.

With all those long day-light hours, it was as if Mother Nature, remember-ing all those cold, dreary months just gone by, was trying to get everything up and going, growing all the produce possible as fast as possible. And so summer is a time for a lot of work, too. Look around at the fl ower beds full of color, the farm-ers putting up big fi elds of hay, acres and acres of rows of corn, growing by the day.

And all that hard work made those resting times even sweeter. Some of the best memories of summer

come from the sitting-around times.

After an enormous Sun-day dinner cooked by a grandma, there would be a Sunday afternoon at Uncle Will’s place, just sitting in the yard in the shade, talk-ing, looking, listening, pos-sibly fi nished off with a big, cold watermelon. And the regular long weekday eve-nings spent sitting on the porch or in the yard were more frequent, but no less magical. We didn’t realize how close to heaven we were.

Reflecting on this sum-mertime environment, I couldn’t help but think about some of the crea-tures great and small that provided the background scenery and music for those events, now turned to memories.

Think, for example, of all those fireflies that came out as dusk fell, first low over the grass and then later, up into the trees, as if they were reflecting the lights of all those thou-sands of stars that could be seen on a clear summer night. A bug that could f ly around making its rear end f lash with a cool yellow glow? They were great fun to catch and keep in a jar for a little while, but I don’t remember any major dis-cussions about the science behind the phenomenon.

Against the backdrop of stars and fireflies was the orchestra – the music of the summer night. We always felt that the noisy song of the jarflies, mostly our common seven-year ci-

cadas, made it really, offi-cially, summer. And slight-ly less loud, but a lot more numerous and melodious, were the katydids, sawing away on their little fiddles until well into the night.

And the birds? As sum-mer grows, the birds be-come much quieter. Court-ships are over, parenting duties mostly completed. The cacophony of early morning birdsong has thinned down and tapers off much earlier in the day.

There are a few die-hards, however. One of our most numerous birds, the red-eyed vireo, still sings on and on, well into the afternoon. This has earned him the nickname “preacher bird,” because of his apparent problem of knowing when to quit his vocalizations.

And then there is our voice of the summer night, the mockingbird. He bless-es us with his beautiful, ever-changing song, some-times all through the night. One used to sing to me each morning as I grudg-ingly trudged through the predawn hours, deliver-ing the Knoxville Journal, centuries ago.

Of course, in all of this idyllic panorama there has to be a villain or two. For most of us the summer vil-lains are bugs. “Bugs” is a term that covers a whole spectrum of life forms. Some folks greatly fear caterpillars, others loathe spiders. But for me, the villains that most disturb my enjoyment of a peace-

Summer recollections

ful summer evening in the yard are mosquitoes.

People have fought mos-quitoes for centuries. DDT proved to be our most ef-fective weapon. We sprayed it on our crops, we sprayed it on the children playing in the streets. The problem with DDT, it turned out, was that it killed every-thing else, too, including us. And some of the mos-quitoes became resistant to it. The mosquitoes are a foe nearly as hard to defeat

as it is for the Vols to beat that other serious pest, the Crimson Tide.

Therefore, it gives me great satisfaction to sit out on a summer evening and watch my allies in this struggle, the bats, the chim-ney swifts and the swal-lows, up there working the skies for an enormous har-vest of bugs. They catch all their food on the fl y (no pun intended, but it does work), and are as skillful maneu-vering in the air as those

little “Star Wars” fi ghter-jet things. They eat tons and tons of insects every night. And even if one or two of the evil little blood-suckers does get me, I am still hap-py in the knowledge that thousands of their kin are being consumed right there over my head.

Summer is a marvelous time. I hope we can all still slow down occasionally, just to sit and watch it and listen to it. It sure makes great memories.

And why do you worry…?(Matthew 6: 28 NRSV)

Each blade of grass has its Angel that bends over it and whispers, “Grow, grow.”

(The Talmud)

A blade of grass

I remember fondly that Jack Paar (late night TV show host from the ’60s) confessed on the air that he worried about the Hol-land Tunnel because it had to go to New Jersey by it-self. Now that is a world class worrier!

I can relate. I have con-fessed in this space (quite often) that I am a worrier. It’s genetic; what can I say? I know that!

I also know that it is sinful.In the Sermon on the

Mount, Jesus chastised his listeners about worry. “Do

not worry about your life,” he said, “what you will eat or what you will drink, or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?”

Then he went on to say, “Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon

in all his glory was not clothed like one of these.”

I have had the privilege of standing on the green, sloping hillside where Je-sus spoke those words, looking out over the Sea of Galilee. There were wild-flowers growing all over that hill, even in the March winds. There was a soul-deep peace in that place, a peace that made me feel that I could lay down all my worries right there, and walk away from them.

Of course, being a worri-er, I picked them up again.

But the Talmud tells us about the angels who at-

tend to each blade of grass. And if each blade of grass has its own angel, then surely I do as well. And so do you!

It is hard to hang onto that assurance sometimes. I recognize that. However, Jesus insisted that if we would “…strive first for the kingdom of God and his righteousness, …all these things will be given to you as well.” (Matthew 6: 33)

Or, as one of my college professors assured me, “Be where you are supposed to be; do what you are sup-posed to do; and every-thing will be fine.”

It is all about priori-ties. And apparently we – you and I, all of us – are God’s priorities. And if we make God our priority, and stand faithfully on God’s promise, then what have we to worry about?

It takes prayer and faith that God can handle all our fears, because worry is re-ally a form of fear. And you know what? Three hun-dred and sixty-five times, the Bible says (in one form or another), “Fear not….” That is one “Fear not” for every day of the year. That is good enough for me!

What? Me, worry?

There are Little Leagues that give every player a trophy. Careful with frag-ile psyches. Emphasize equality. Do not damage self-worth.

Phil Steele, distin-guished sportswriter and magazine publisher, uses that mentality in picking preseason football all-Americans. Almost every-body who can line up prop-erly is an honoree – 120 of ’em. Let there be kindness for all.

Sixty-three schools are represented, the better to sell more magazines. There are 27 “all-Americans” in the Southeastern Conference. Eight are from Alabama.

Tennessee is repre-sented by offensive tackle Antonio Richardson, line-backer A.J. Johnson and

Summer small talk

defensive tackle Daniel McCullers.

Why not offensive tackle Ja’Wuan James? He can line up.

Tennessee linemen have a lot of experience – in big games lost. You get to de-cide whether that is good or bad.

***Tennessee has a very chal-

lenging schedule. Back to back trips to Oregon and Florida put September at risk.

Arkansas faces greater

difficulty – four heavy-weights in a row – Texas A&M, Florida, South Caro-lina and Alabama. At least three will open in the top 10. Can’t imagine there will be much of a market for chopped Razorbacks.

***SEC football coaches are

staunchly opposed to play-ing nine SEC games each season. Their logic is root-ed in self-preservation. Too many tough opponents increase the risk of miss-ing a bowl bid. No bowl game means no bowl bo-nus. Holidays at home lead directly to unemployment.

***Interesting people are

playing in the Rocky Top basketball league. Two very

interesting people are not. Big man Jeronne May-

mon does have good news on the sideline. He could be 100 percent healthy by the end of July. Or maybe August. Or soon thereaf-ter. The season doesn’t be-gin until November.

After Maymon is 100 percent healthy, when he can run full speed and do stop-and-go drills, he has to get into basketball play-ing condition. That will involve losing weight and regaining quickness.

Antonio Barton, trans-fer-to-be from Memphis, is healthy but occupied with three Internet courses and an internship. He must fin-ish those to graduate. He must graduate before he can switch schools for his fourth season of eligibil-ity. Some NCAA rules are quirky like that.

Barton and Maymon are very large in Volunteer plans for this winter. An-

tonio is projected as the starting point guard. May-mon is the missing link to the NCAA tournament. Those two may determine when or if Cuonzo Martin gets a raise.

***Raven Chavanne and

Lauren Gibson are on the national softball team that will play in such far-f lung places as Oklahoma City, Puerto Rico and British Columbia this summer. Coach Karen Weekly is a USA assistant coach.

***The following point

spreads are not intended to encourage gambling. These early numbers are only a clue to what Las Ve-gas thinks about Tennes-see football.

Direct from the Golden Nugget, Oregon is favored by 25. The Vols are 27-point

underdogs to Alabama.

***I like Butch Jones’

brick-by-brick campaign to rebuild Tennessee football. If that is an original idea, the College Football Hall of Fame, under construction in downtown Atlanta, has copied it.

The hall-to-be is selling commemorative bricks, to be engraved with a name and a message, for $100. Larger bricks are $200 and $300. I don’t know how much a wall costs but if you want to buy one, I’ll find out.

Twenty-one former Vol-unteers plus Bob Neyland and Doug Dickey are in the Hall of Fame. The new home in Atlanta is sup-posed to open in the fall of 2014. It might happen earlier if you buy enough bricks.Marvin West invites reader reaction. His

The second branch of the autonomic nervous system is the parasympathetic sys-tem, which works to conserve energy and rebuild tissue. This is also the branch

that helps slow your heart rate down and get your body back to a normal resting state after you get out of the emergency situation that I described earlier in the sympathetic nervous system. So you can see one branch of the system speeds you up while the other branch slows you down. This is how your body achieves homeo-stasis. It does this by lowering blood pressure and putting the digestive process to work. Because of the envi-ronment we live in today, this branch of your nervous system is usually under-stimulated, and most people do not eliminate their waste properly because this branch does not func-tion the way it should.

Now that you understand the two branches of the autonomic nervous

system, you can see that our body and digestive system were designed to get the most nutrients we could from our food and get rid of the rest. By the time your food reaches the large intestine, the good nutrients that our body needs have usually been absorbed, and the body needs to excrete the remaining waste. How-ever what happens if we are overly sympathetic, dehydrated and our digestive system is not working cor-rectly? The waste product sits in our colon longer than it’s supposed to which can allow some toxins to be re-absorbed back into our system, mak-ing the job even harder on our liver. This can also affect the good and bad bacteria that are in your colon. Your body will be more concerned with getting rid of the toxins than it would dropping a few extra pounds of fat.

By Wendy SmithThe Compassion Coali-

tion helps churches, indi-viduals and social service agencies understand gen-erational poverty with an approach called Bridges out of Poverty. Later this month, the nonprofit will offer its first workshop for those living in poverty.

According to Jessica Bocangel of Compassion Coalition, the workshop, “Getting Ahead in a Just Getting By World,” an-swers the question that typically follows Bridges Out of Poverty training: now what?

Jim Ott, a school psy-chologist who has facili-tated the Getting Ahead workshop for five years in Iowa, spoke to a packed house at the Compassion Coalition’s Salt and Light luncheon last week at Mes-siah Lutheran Church.

“I call myself a Bridges out of Poverty evangelist because I’ve seen how lives have been changed by it,” he said.

Getting Ahead applies concepts from Bridges out of Poverty, like using an interactive, relational ap-proach to helping those who come from genera-tional poverty. That sepa-rates it from other pro-grams that are set up like a school, which reminds participants of a time when they were not successful, Ott says.

When he first began working with kids from generational poverty, he saw people doing things that made absolutely no sense to him. He be-lieved what he calls the middle class myth: If you worked as hard as I do, you wouldn’t be in pov-erty. Now, he realizes that his success doesn’t come from hard work, but from his ability to succeed in school.

Another Bridges out of Poverty concept that makes Getting Ahead ef-fective is self-analysis. Participants examine their physical, spiritual and emotional resources as well as their financial re-sources. That opens their eyes, he says.

The Getting Ahead workshop is effective, but participants need a sup-port system as they emerge from poverty. Ott helped establish the Circles Ini-tiative in Dubuque, Iowa, which brings people to-

Getting ahead of

generational poverty

By Cindy TaylorThe Exodus Project, a

faith-based housing unit at the Knox County Detention Center operating under Fol-lowing Our Choices Unto Success (FOCUS) Group Prison Ministries, is chang-ing lives one graduate at a time. The program teaches life skills to provide a new way of living that differs greatly from the lives most of the inmates had been living.

Exodus Project director and church coordinator for FOCUS Group Ministries Jeff Hunter founded the pro-gram in 2011.

“The recidivism rate in Tennessee (the rate by which someone returns back to jail or prison) is 65 percent, while the rate for those who have gone through the program during the two years the Exo-dus Project has existed is 17 percent,” said Hunter. “We believe in the transformation power of Jesus Christ, not just rehabilitation.”

Success stories from graduates include one man who has become a successful musician, is now a worship leader with the ministry and is attending Johnson Uni-versity. Another graduate has become a journeyman electrician and is in the last phase to receive his electrical license.

“The Exodus Project changed my life,” said Da-vid, a current student. “I now have direction in my life that will honor God and give me a fulfi lled life.”

‘Even in jail,

God is in control’

Jeff Hunter, founder of The

Exodus Project

The Exodus Project serves all three state prisons in East Tennessee and fi ve county jails. More than 400 men have entered the program, with 127 having graduated.

Each semester runs for 12 weeks and can include up to 54 men. Classes run eight hours a day and two hours each evening. Studies consist of series such as Authentic Manhood, Inside Out Dads, Song of Solomon and Experi-encing God. There are topical studies on temptation, at-titude and growing through failure.

Mentoring programs in-clude Celebrate Recovery, FOCUS Group, Financial Peace University and Men on Mission.

“We have had at least 47 conversions that led to bap-tism since our beginning,” said Hunter. “Our calling is to provide men with the tools they need to be successful. Our goal as a ministry is to bring families back together under the Lordship of Jesus Christ. Even in jail, God is in control.”

Wealthy people are ex-perts in provision, and members of the middle class are often experts in planning, he says. The cir-cle also requires experts in poverty – those who have escaped from generational poverty themselves. They understand what it’s like to live only in the moment and to feel like your voice is never heard.

The Compassion Co-alition is currently tak-ing applications for the upcoming Getting Ahead workshop. Participants should be 18 or over, living in poverty, mentally stable and free from substance abuse, and willing to make changes to move toward financial stability. Twelve will be chosen for the 15-week class that begins on July 21, and participants will receive a stipend.

Churches and communi-ty groups are also needed to provide food and child-care for the workshop. Info: Jessica at 251-1591, ext. 8.

During VBS, the team performed skits, taught les-sons and made crafts with the children.

“The children were just so excited to play with us,” said team member Billy Eubanks. “The water fi lter project was a favorite thing this year. Seeing how little these people had and yet how happy they were and appreciative of getting fresh water was very humbling.

‘Somebody ought to do something!’Week four with the Shopper interns

By Sara BarrettWeek four with the Shopper News in-

terns began with a sobering look at what life is like for Knoxville’s homeless popula-tion and how the folks at Knox Area Rescue Ministries offer hope and shelter.

Lunch was a mix of musical entertain-ment, chicken salad and cookies at the Knoxville Visitor’s Center, and the after-noon was fi lled with a crash course in all things theatrical at the Clarence Brown Theatre.

Knox Area Rescue Ministries

Note from Sara:During the tour at KARM,

Shopper News photographer Ruth White had to jump ship

with two of the interns, Josh-ua Mode and Lindsey Sand-ers, to cover an event at Ten-nova. This gave the interns a

fi rst-hand look at deadlines and the short notice you’ve got when working for a news-paper.

The Sisters of MercyBy Joshua Mode

The Sisters of Mercy heritage garden was dedi-cated to the group of nuns who founded the original St. Mary’s Hospital, later Mercy Medical Center. Five members of Sisters of Mercy attended. To cover the event was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

This all took place at Tennova (the former St. Mary’s Hospital) in the Physicians Regional Medi-cal Center courtyard.

The event was a very

touching dedication to the sisters. Each was very kind in everything they did, even when everyone was asking for their picture to-gether.

We had a great time hearing the stories of these caring ladies and what they experienced while working in a fast-paced hospital setting.

The garden had a beauti-ful fountain, colorful f low-ers, tables where folks can relax and eat, and a bronze bird bath that symbolized

the great importance of these founders.

The garden is to be used as a peaceful spot for staff, patients and family to re-lax.

These Godly women have touched the lives of a great many people in our region and should be very proud of the honor which they received. However, and true to their calling, they received the honor with humility and the humbleness for which they are known.

The Sisters of Mercy were on hand last week for the dedication of the heritage garden in the

courtyard at Tennova. Pictured are sisters Mary Martha Naber, Margaret Turk, Janice Brink, Marie

Moore and Albertine Paulus. During the dedication, Steve Diggs with Emerald Youth Founda-

tion called the group and their work at the hospital a “gift from God.”

The Shopper News interns take a quick break in the green room at Clarence Brown Theatre.

The Clarence Brown Theatre

A Day at the Theatre

By Zoe RisleyThe Shopper interns

were given a tour of Clar-ence Brown Theatre by one of its artists in resi-dence, David Alley, who teaches, acts and directs at CBT.

Alley fi rst told us the history of the theater and its founder, Clarence Leon Brown.

Brown was admitted to The University of Ten-nessee when he was just 15. He was fascinated by moving pictures and how they worked, so he moved to New Jersey where he eventually be-came French fi lm direc-tor Maurice Tourneur’s assistant. Brown went on to direct more than 50 fi lms (some of which were Oscar® winners) and was nominated fi ve times for best director at the Academy Awards but never won.

In November 1970, the fi rst permanent theater on the UT campus was dedicated and named af-ter Clarence Brown. It cost $2 million to build, of which $500,000 was donated by Mr. Brown. Now there is discussion of building a new theater that would cost $70-80 million.

The Clarence Brown Theatre Company was formed in 1974 by British actor Sir Anthony Quayle and Ralph Allen.

Alley also talked about CBT today. One third of its production budget each season comes from a

$12 million endowment left by Brown’s wife, Marian, in her will. CBT also has one of the best graduate acting programs in the country as well as a graduate design program for costumes, set and lighting.

All the programs and classes at Clarence Brown are based on Brown’s quote “The mixing up of young ac-tors and designers with fi rst class professionals is mani-festly the only right method of training future theater artists.”

Alley explained how most shows on the main stage are cast with mostly graduate students and professional actors, although CBT also likes to include members from the community in its shows. Its annual produc-tion of “A Christmas Carol” and an additional yearly musical accepts younger and older non-company mem-bers and non-UT students.

We got to tour the build-ing starting with the main

stage and auditorium. There are 576 seats in the main auditorium. The stage is re-markable because the fi rst 3 rows of seats can be lowered using a hydraulic lift so an orchestra pit can be put in.

There are trapdoors all over the stage to add water features to performances and also so the actors can exit a scene quickly.

Other features in the building include prop, set and costume shops that can be used to teach students as well as to make things for productions.

There are 400-500 lights that can be used for each production. They are all taken down after each pro-duction, redesigned and re-strung.

Our tour ended with a visit to the dressing rooms. The men’s dressing room is almost double the size of the women’s. This is because acting was mostly a male profession when the theater was constructed.

The historical wall inside the theater features photos of famous

Knoxvillians, including David Keith, John Cullum and Dale Dickey.

The Blue Plate Special

More from Sara:After leaving KARM,

the intern caravan made a pit stop at The Knox-ville Visitor’s Center for a catered lunch by The

Koop and live music dur-ing WDVX’s Blue Plate Special. Interns enjoyed a choice of homemade egg salad, pimento cheese or chicken salad sandwiches

and chocolate chip cook-ies for dessert. Music was provided by South Side River Revival and Cato Falls, both from the Great Lakes area.

Food and funBy Taylor Smith

On June 25, ate lunch at the wonderful Knoxville Visitors Center for the Blue Plate Special. They have a beautiful facility with a variety of bands that come and perform while you eat your lunch.

One band was South Side River Revival. I spoke

with band members Ozzy Ospedale and Cory Ripely who have both been inter-ested in musical careers since they were very young.

Ospedale and Ripely have been playing together for about eight years. They just started their band with Zach Barneson eight months ago after fi nding

him in a bar jamming to the guitar. This is Barneson’s fi rst time playing in a band.

Ospedale said he wanted to come down to Knoxville all the way from Wiscon-sin specifi cally for the Blue Plate Special on WDVX. It’s an easier way to get the band out there because they performed live on the radio.

Bridging the gapSummer program helps at-risk students

By Jake MabeSometimes all you need is an out-

stretched hand, a bridge, if you will, to help you reach your destination.

The Knox County Schools Sum-mer Bridge Program is designed to do just that. At-risk 8th grade students give up eight weeks of their summer to participate in the program, which aims to qualify them academically for the 9th grade.

Karns High School assistant prin-cipal Mike Toth is the principal of the program at Halls High this sum-mer. Most of his 33 students attend Halls Middle School, but a few are from Holston Middle. If successful, they will attend either Halls High or Gibbs High in the fall.

“When I talk to the individual students, I ask them why they are here,” Toth says. One student lost a parent this past year and gave up on school. Some have gotten into serious trouble. And a lot of them have a poor work ethic.”

Middle school administrators look at TCAP scores, particularly in read-ing, Language Arts and math, and the rate at which a student is passing classes. If they see multiple red fl ags, they recommend that the student take the Bridge program.

“It’s a year-long conversation. They know it is coming and their par-ents know it is coming. The middle school team will determine whether they (the students) will go on to the 9th grade.”

The program is comprised of three components. During the month of June, students take an English/Lan-guage Arts class, a computer class and a study skills class.

“In the study skills class, we talk about the importance of an educa-tion. We talk about the dollar value of a high school education versus the dollar value of a job if you drop out. And we go over the dollar value of some kind of post-secondary educa-tion, whether that’s college or a trade school. We also work on leadership skills and team building.”

After a week’s break for the Inde-pendence Day holiday, students be-gin a math class and computer programs to supplement the class, as well as continuing the study skills class. Three more students will enroll for the sec-ond half of the program.

Toth said the secret to the pro-gram’s success is the relationships that blossom in the smaller class-room setting.

“When you have a classroom of 25-30 kids, you can get lost. Here, in a classroom of 10-20 kids, you get more attention from the teacher and they get to know their principal. Re-search shows that having a relation-ship with the adults in the (school) building is as important as a teach-er’s ability to teach and the student’s level of intelligence.”

Toth sees to it that those relation-ships continue throughout a stu-dent’s high school experience.

In addition to Halls staff members, Toth plans

to ask a Gibbs High counselor or staff member to meet with stu-

dents who will be go-ing there in the fall, “to give them a familiar face

and have that point of contact.” Toth wants to reward his students

at the end of the program, so he’s tak-ing them to the Mountain Challenge, a ropes course at Maryville College. He recently secured a $600 gift from

the Halls Business and Professional Association to pay for the trip and Beaver Dam Baptist Church is paying for lunch.

“These guys are giving up their whole summer and I wanted to give them something for successful com-pletion. It gets them outside and it’s something that has meaning and purpose but is also fun. The leader-ship and problem-solving parts of it will put to use some of the things they learned this summer.”

Toth, who has a wife and fi ve kids, is giving up his summer, too. He hon-estly says part of his motivation is the extra pay, but quickly adds that he wouldn’t be part of the Bridge pro-gram if he didn’t love kids. He’s par-ticipated in the program twice in the past three years.

Toth grew up in Paw Paw, Mich., earned a bachelor’s degree in vocal music from Michigan State and came to UT as a graduate assistant in the opera program. But, he took a couple of years off, started working at Sun-Trust bank, and met the principal at

Alcoa Middle School, who one day asked him, “When are you going to be a teacher?”

He joined the Lyndhurst Program at UT, which was designed for those choosing education as a second ca-reer, and earned his certifi cation and a master’s degree in education. He has also earned an Ed.S from LMU. He taught second grade for seven years at Green Magnet School and has been an assistant principal at Karns High for three years.

Toth says the Summer Bridge Pro-gram gives students a sense of ac-countability.

“There’s a checkpoint. If they’re not going to do work, there’s a conse-quence for it.”

But, more than anything, it shows the students that someone cares about them.

“We set up a structure that’s going to help them. We tell them you have a face and a name and we know who you are and are going to be with you every step of the way. That’s what it’s all about.”

qualify academically for the 9th grade. Photo by Ruth White

Hallsdale-Powell Utility DistrictSeeks Applicants

For Nomination to its Board of Commissioners

Hallsdale-Powell Utility District (HPUD) is now accepting applications for possible nomination as a member of the HPUD Board of Commissioners. HPUD’s Board of Com-missioners is comprised of three commissioners, who are each appointed by the Knox County Mayor for a staggered four-year term from a list of three nominees selected by the current HPUD Board of Commissioners.

HPUD’s Board of Commissioners is vested with the general power and authority over the utility district, which is managed and operated on a day-to-day basis by the utility district’s president/chief executive offi cer and who has responsibility and oversight for the utility district’s employ-ees and operations. Besides selecting the utility district’s president/chief executive offi cer, duties of the HPUD Board of Commissioners include attending all regular monthly meetings and, when called, special meetings of the HPUD Board of Commissioners, adopting an annual budget for the utility district’s operations, setting all rates for water and wastewater services provided by the utility district, and es-tablishing and approving all rules, regulations, policies and procedures necessary for the utility district’s operations. An HPUD Commissioner must also attend a minimum number of certifi ed training hours during his or her ap-pointed term as required by state law.

HPUD is one of Tennessee’s largest utility districts, which are treated as governmental entities under state law. HPUD serves water and wastewater service to over 29,075 custom-ers in the north Knox County area (including portions of Union County and Anderson County) with an operating budget in excess of $29.1 million for its most recent fi scal year and a current capital budget in excess of $12.8 million. To apply for possible nomination to the HPUD Board of Commissioners, you must be at least 25 years old and either an HPUD customer within the district’s boundaries or reside within the utility district’s boundaries.

By Rob WebbDuring the Fourth of

July, we commemo-rate our n a t i o n ’ s i n d e p e n -dence with wonder f ul t rad it ions celebrated with family and friends,

including cookouts, wearing the stars and stripes, and fi reworks displays.

Unfortunately, our para-medics, fi refi ghters and EMTs see too many holidays ruined by unsafe use of bar-becues, grills and fi reworks. More than half of the 11,000 injuries that occur every year from fi reworks and grill fi res happen within the fi rst week of July, according to the National Fire Data Center.

Before heading off to a fi reworks show, many Americans pull out their grills to cook burgers and hot dogs. Make sure that you follow some simple safety tips when lighting up the grill.

■ For gas grills, clean and check integrity of grill hoses before use. Use a pipe clean-er or wire to clear blockage. Check all hoses for holes, leaks or sharp bends.

■ Move the gas hoses as far as possible from hot sur-faces or install a heat shield.

■ If you do detect a gas

leak, disconnect immedi-ately and keep open fl ames away from grill.

■ Never use a gas or char-coal grill indoors. Charcoal burns CO2 gases, which can be harmful in enclosed spaces. Ensure the charcoal is completely extinguished before moving it indoors.

Remember: fi reworks are illegal to buy, sell, use or store in Knox County. Fire-works are unpredictable explosives that can danger-ously malfunction through improper usage, storage or manufacturer defects.

Never let children use fi reworks – even sparklers. Sparklers can burn up to 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit and catch clothes on fi re or cause eye damage. If you live outside the county, store fi reworks in a cool, dry location. If you do live in the county, fi reworks are illegal to own – even if you don’t use them.

The best way to safely en-joy fi reworks this holiday is to take advantage of one of the many local professional shows. The city of Knoxville hosts a free annual Festival on the Fourth at World’s Fair Park with an Independence Day concert from the Knox-ville Symphony Orchestra at 8 p.m. and a spectacular fi reworks show at 9:35 p.m.

Keep safety in mind this Fourth of July, and have a wo nderful Independence Day!

Stay safe on the Fourth

News from Rural/Metro

The way of the new

homesteadersBy Libby Morgan

Two smart people have discovered the wonderful-ness of East Tennessee and are crafting a new way of life for themselves.

Darren Farquhar and Ta-mara Bernadot moved from Wisconsin after each of them had had successful ca-reers – Darren as a military corpsman, nurse and mo-bile hospital designer, and Tamara in natural products sales and marketing.

Their desire to be in a warmer clime and to live with as much control over

their food sources as pos-sible led them to a spot on the northern edge of Sharps Chapel, on a 10-acre hillside with a big eastern sky ori-entation, a modern house, and plenty of open space for growing food.

“We love the friendly cul-ture here,” says Farquhar (pronounced far-kwar).

In a little over a year, they’ve established bee-hives, an orchard, big gar-den plots, a cornfield and an herb garden. They’ve become poultry farmers, and just last week, proud owners of two hogs.

Two greenhouses are made with a simple but ef-fective design. Seems noth-ing is daunting for them,

Staying on top of the food stream

including processing their own chickens. One-hun-dred and ninety pounds of it went in the freezer re-cently.

“All this is a labor of love for us,” says Farquhar. “We have a great time growing everything. We’re getting our vineyard started with muscadines, catawbas and concords.”

Tamara and Darren have become fast friends with Tom and Faye Hardin of Hardin’s Mountain Organ-ics on Loyston Road. Along the way Bernadot created

a Facebook page for them, and the Sharps Chapel farm is an outlet for Hardin’s heirloom tomato plants.

“I really enjoy helping small startups and have taught classes in online marketing, which I hope to do here at some point,” says Bernadot.

Getting to know Tamara and Darren made me come away thinking there’s noth-ing they won’t tackle when it comes to independent sustenance, and with their energy and smarts, there’s nothing they can’t do.

Family event promotes stream health, education

By Jake Mabe Nothing was going to

stop Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett from joining in the fun at the fi rst Fami-lies in the Creek event at the Halls Greenway on June 22.

Burchett showed up, put on a pair of waders, jumped in the creek and was holding a fi sh in about two minutes. He knows his stuff, too.

“Beaver Creek is the only tributary that begins and ends in Knox County,” Bur-chett said.

Hizzhonor and a host of families all were sporting big grins that Saturday, just what organizers wanted for the free event.

“Basically, this is fam-ily education. We hope to teach them a little about watersheds, mainly stream health, but it’s more about fun,” said Knox County Wa-tershed Coordinator Roy Arthur.

About 40 people took turns in four rotations. The fi rst rotation was a

fi sh assessment, in which a Tennessee Department of Environment and Con-servation (TDEC) biologist helped participants collect and identify the fi sh, the type and number of which are indicators of the creek’s health.

The second rotation in-volved what Arthur called “kicking up and captur-ing” bottom-dwelling bugs, which also serves as an in-dicator of the creek’s health.

The third rotation in-volved a stream walk, us-ing the Natural Resource Conservation Service visual assessment to help partici-pants evaluate the stream’s health based on a variety of conditions.

The fourth rotation was a scavenger hunt in which participants used obser-vational skills to look at the relationship between land uses and stormwater and how it can affect creek health. Participants were given opportunities to iden-tify actions they could take to reduce these impacts.

The event was hosted by the Beaver Creek Task Force (including the Knox County

Stormwater Program, the Tennessee Water Resources Research Center, the Knox County Soil Conserva-tion District and Hallsdale Powell Utility District) and Knox County Parks and Recreation.

Arthur said organizers hope to make Families in the Creek an annual event.

Sponsors include Can-non and Cannon, AMEC Engineering, No Pile Left Behind Waste Removal Ser-vice, Water Resources LLC, Third Rock Consultants LLC, Food City, and Patter-son Trucking and Hauling.

Volunteers included TDEC biologists Larry Ev-erett and Jason Mann, Beaver Creek Task Force members Parci Gibson and Roy Arthur (Knox County Stormwater), Knox County Soil Conservation District members Amy Man and Matt Ledford, UT Ten-nessee Water Resources Research Center rep Ruth Anne Hanahan, and CAC AmeriCorps members Ga-brielle Cantor, Elliot Wei-dow, Maeghan Chapin, Stephanie Carlson, Chelsea Peters and Chris Woudstra.

NEWS FROM GRACE CHRISTIAN ACADEMY OF KNOXVILLE

By Shannon Morris

Three Grace Christian Acad-emy seniors are among a select group of area high school stu-dents who will be recognized for their community service by the Teen Board of Knoxville Aug. 3 at the Knoxville Coli-seum. This event honors young people who have given at least

50 hours of volunteer service divided between fi ve or more community-building projects sponsored by the Teen Center. The Teen Center was founded by Frances Moncier who, after her daughter was killed by a drunk driver, wanted to pro-vide a positive outlet for area teenagers.

The three Grace students being honored are Ashlyn Bryant, Rachel Asher and Sam Hudson, each of whom was selected as an Outstand-ing Teen. We, too, would like to honor these terrifi c seniors and recognize their invest-ment of time and commit-ment to our city.

After the fi nal bell rang in May, one would think the doors of the school would be closed until August. However, for many students, summer takes on a whole new look through the many summer camps of-fered at Grace.

Summer fun at Grace

In June and July, students can experience a week or two of academic enrichment, or they can develop their knowledge and skills in other areas such as art, science, writing, cooking, dance, drama, math, knitting and much more. Each course brings creative and interactive ways to learn, while keeping minds sharp over the summer break.

There are some outstand-ing summer camps offered this year, each of which offers a different type of challenge and learning opportunity. For example, the iWrite Camp provides the opportunity to write and present an essay for a live broadcast, giving insight into the world of journalism with first-hand experience.

A STEM Camp allows students to discover an app called Monster Physics, al-lowing them to learn about air resistance, acceleration and construction of space vehi-cles. The students then create lunar modules from straws, cardboard, rubber bands and note cards, with marshmal-lows serving as astronauts. Their goal is to build a mod-ule that can be dropped from various heights while keeping the astronauts safe.

Additional camps use prac-tical teaching methods to convey important lessons on grammar, real-life mathemat-ics, critical thinking using Legos, and even an ACT Prep course that lets students get

a leg up on college placement exams.

On a slightly different note, there is a camp called Beau-tiful You which teaches stu-dents how to care for skin and hair, including techniques for wearing makeup and dress-ing for particular body types, followed by a fashion show to celebrate all that was learned.

And, for those students with a dramatic fl air, there is a camp called GCA’s Got Tal-ent, where they can learn about acting through monologues, theater games, song and dance.

This camp will culminate with a talent show, where newly-acquired skills can be demon-strated for a live audience.

While every student needs a well-deserved break over sum-mer, these camps provide tools during those months off that offer fun challenges, keep their minds engaged, offer continued social interaction, and afford the chance to learn something that may be completely new! Even during the summer months, the halls and classrooms of Grace Christian Academy are bristling with students eager to learn.

Grace Christian Academy is excited to announce that, after an extensive search and much prayer, Nathan Stevens has accepted the position of high school principal. Stevens comes to Grace from Hilton Head Preparatory School, where he served as Head of the Upper School. We are confi dent that Stevens will strengthen our academic foundation and give great leadership to our high school staff.

We will most certainly miss the leadership and presence of our previous principal, Randy Down, who has accepted a po-sition as headmaster at a Chris-tian academy in Naples, Fla. We are tremendously grateful for his fi ve years of tireless service to Grace Christian Academy, and his smiling face will be missed. We pray God’s contin-ued blessing on Down and his

Nathan Stevens is the new princi-

pal at Grace Christian Academy’s

high school.

New principal for Grace high school

wife, Kathy, as they embark on this new and exciting journey.

Even though these are large shoes to fi ll, we believe that God has provided the perfect person for the job. Please pray for both Stevens and Down as they tran-sition to the next phases of life and ministry.

Mitch Turner, who assisted with the team this past sea-son, will be back in 2014 as the Grace C h r i s t i a n Academy high school baseball coach. Turner attended East T e n n e s s e e

State University. After red-shirting his freshman year at ETSU, Mitch transferred to

Walters State Community Col-lege where he competed in the NJCAA Junior College World Series. The team fi nished third in the nation.

Mitch graduated from Lin-coln Memorial University with a bachelor’s degree in business management and administration, and over the last seven years he has been a business consultant for small- to medium-sized businesses in the Southeast.

When he is not consulting or coaching, Mitch is doing

his best to be successful in his real job as a husband and a father. Mitch is married to Danielle Turner. They have two children, daughter Pay-ton, age 4, and son Easton, 18 months.

Turner, who played for Bearden High School and has coached competitive baseball for 12 years, hopes to continue the tradition of excellence that has been the standard for GCA varsity baseball. The Rams will enjoy having Turner in the dugout again this season.
