Ed and Bob to visit Powell

Knox County at-large com-missioners Ed Brantley and Bob Thomas will meet with constituents at Halftime Pizza and Grill, 2509 W. Emory Road in Powell, 5-7 p.m. Tues-day, March 17. The meeting was snowed out last month.

The meeting is open to anyone with a comment or concern, but it’s Dutch-treat on the pizza.

By Wendy SmithThe Cherokee Indians called

Blount Mansion “the house with many eyes.” Exec-utive director Ka-tie Stringer plans to show visitors what those eyes have seen during the home’s 220-year history.

The mansion, which would be considered a small

house by today’s standards in spite of several expansions, has primarily been dedicated to tell-ing the history of William Blount, governor of the Southwest Terri-tory, and his family.

But the site was home to other notables, like the McClung fam-

ily and Knoxville mayor Samuel Boyd, as well as immigrants who rented rooms in the house around the turn of the century, says Stringer. She hopes to use the mu-seum to interpret the city’s entire history – from native Americans to women to local industry.

Stringer, who grew up in Kings-ton, remembers visiting the Blount Mansion when she was in the fi rst grade. Her teacher, coincidentally, was Mrs. Blount. She still has the coloring book she purchased that day from the gift shop.

Several copies of the same col-oring book were recently located in the Craighead-Jackson House next door, so it is – once again – available for purchase in the gift shop.

Stringer has always loved his-

tory. She has a master’s degree in ancient history with a certifi cate in museum management from the University of Memphis and a Ph.D. in public history from MTSU. Last summer, she published a book, “Programming for People with Special Needs: A Guide for Mu-seums and Historic Sites.” Blount Mansion’s accessibility issues for the elderly and those with special needs are always in the back of her mind, she says.

She came to Blount Mansion during summer 2013 just before the museum closed for almost a year for renovations.

The philosophy of museum house management has changed in recent years. The emphasis is now on sustainability, Stringer says. Museums can’t operate on

BUZZ

Powell can embrace its future by revisiting its past

By Sandra ClarkTo renew Powell’s downtown

business district while holding residents here for shopping and recreation, it’s clear that Historic Powell Station needs more store-fronts, more sidewalks, more greenspace and greater access to Beaver Creek.

Enhance Powell, a committee of the Powell Business and Profes-sional Association, is two weeks away from the deadline to submit a grant which could lead to $3 mil-lion for community development.

“We need a $6 million idea,” said Bart Elkins. He and his wife, Cindy, have invested heavily to open The Front Porch, a gourmet restaurant in the old Harrell home on Emory Road at Spring Street.

Elkins is a committee mem-ber, along with this writer, Justin Bailey, John Bayless, Laura Bailey

and Kim Severance. Mike Byrd, general manager of Frontier Com-munications in Powell, serves as a committee consultant.

Last week we brainstormed ways to help existing businesses while attracting new ones:

Facade grants from PBPA could match property owners’ up-grades. In conjunction with a con-sistent style and lighted sidewalks, the business district would come alive in the evening as a town cen-ter for some 25,000 residents.

Technology/social media support: PBPA could sponsor monthly workshops at Frontier’s training center to bring business owners up to speed on the latest technology including social media – a “free” way to reach consumers.

Business incubator: Sure, many communities want to do this, usually around technology startups, but the PBPA commit-tee wants to support nascent busi-nesses in food sales, crafts such as

leather-making, and manufactur-ing.

Young Entrepreneurs: Lau-ra Townsend, long-time business teacher at Powell High School, has agreed to help with a summer and after-school outreach to PHS stu-dents. She says a club in Lincoln County, Oregon, has been success-ful around the theme: “Provide the space and some pizza and let the kids innovate and have fun.”

PBPA could host a one-week summer program for participants involving business leaders such as Rusty Wallace, Pete DeBusk and Billy Weigel. PBPA would pay teachers, recruiting those with family business experience, to di-rect the summer program

Powell as a learning labo-ratory: PBPA will recruit busi-ness partners to offer after-school and summer internships for bud-ding entrepreneurs, making the community itself a learning lab.

Kim Severance suggested a

STEM hub at Powell High Schoolwith one-to-one technology forabout 30 kids. She praised theschool’s leadership class and Fu-ture Business Leaders of Americaclub.

“There are people moving into Knox County every day,” said Jus-tin Bailey. “We want them to moveto the 37849 zip code.”

In that vein, he suggested mak-ing Powell Station Park “the play-ground for Powell High Schooland young families.”

He sees a 9-hole Frisbee golf course on the meadow behind thesplash park with the already-builtoutdoor classroom and a woodedwalking trail.

“Let the kids design their park,” he said, to hearty agreement. Kay-ak and canoe put-ins at Halls andbehind Powell library will lead tothe park’s take-out, convenientlyacross from Halftime Pizza.

$6 million ideas? Hey, we’ve got two more weeks!

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

health & lifestyles

First the hips, then the knees and now, the ankles. No, it’s not an-other dance step – but it is a trend sweeping the Baby Boom genera-tion who grew up doing the Twist or shaking their booty at the disco.

Now in their retirement years, those gray-haired Boomers are

feeling the effects of all that twist-ing and shaking as complaints of arthritis stack up. Last year, se-niors were a large portion of the 332,000 people who got total hip replacements and the 719,000 knee

replacements. Now, it’s the ankle’s turn.

Around since the 1970s, total ankle replacement (TAR) just now seems to be gaining favor among the gray-haired set, driven largely by the de-mand of still active Boomers.

Those fi rst TARs “failed miser-ably,” but that’s yesterday’s news. According to Dr. Tracy Pesut, an orthopedic surgeon at Parkwest Medical Center, today’s TARs are giving seniors a new lease on life.

“I fi nd with the Baby Boom gen-

eration that these patients want to continue working, playing and enjoying life deep into their retire-ment,” she said. “They are a higher demand population. I see an in-crease in the need and desire for TARs in order for them to be able to continue golfi ng, hiking, playing tennis and pickle ball, and walking or exercising.”

“The gold standard for ankle arthritis has been fusing the joint, but that increases the stress on the surrounding joints and leads to ar-thritis in those joints within about 10 years,” Pesut added. “Since pa-tients were unhappy with their results, research went into rede-velopment in the 1990s, and as a result, there are now fi ve FDA-ap-proved TAR systems (or prosthe-ses) in the United States. The ankle replacements available now have better wear properties due to the materials used. They also allow for better range of motion and func-tion. Some even utilize CT scans to develop custom cutting jigs for the components to decrease surgery times and improve alignment.”

Pesut says even better designs that allow for more normal motion, and hopefully, better wear proper-ties to increase longevity, are be-

ing developed and used in Europewhere a less stringent FDA-typeapproval process enables surgeonsthere to incorporate these new de-signs more easily.

While the options are growing,ankle replacements remain amongthe most diffi cult procedures anorthopedic surgeon performs. Thesmall contact area and multiple di-rections and functions of the jointmake it a task not every surgeonwants to tackle.

“Most general orthopedists andeven sports specialists are uncom-fortable or do not enjoy taking careof the foot and ankle problems,”said Pesut who has performed 40to 50 total ankle replacements andmore reconstructions than she cancount during her years of practice.“They can be complicated and notwo patients are the same. I likethe challenge of problem solvingand fi guring out what is the bestsolution to their problem. I fi nd itchallenging and enjoy facing thechallenge and seeing patients get-ting back on their feet and return-ing to their activities.”

Of course, total ankle replace-ments won’t make you feel 16again, but they can help many se-niors Twist again.

Tracy Pesut, MD

Craig pulls back a protec-tive cover to reveal cabbage in his winter garden.

Below, Craig, 83, of Knox-ville, points out the new pieces in his ankle which removed his pain without robbing him of fl exibility.

Dave Craig walks two miles before breakfast every day, no matter what the weather is like outside. He calls it part of his “religion,” a time of peace when he prays, recites and gets centered for the rest of the day.

“There are warm weather vege-tables, and there are cool weather vegetables,” explains Dave Craig, 83, Knoxville. “I have four gar-dens – one for spring, summer, fall and winter.”

Craig, who holds a doctorate in Agriculture Education, is digging into his passion for gardening again after a total ankle arthro-plasty at Parkwest Medical Cen-ter. No matter what the weather is like outside, he loves applying his skills as a master gardener and making things grow.

He gardens for his own plea-sure, and Craig volunteers count-less hours with Habitat for Hu-manity’s HUG program (Habitat Urban Gardens). It’s all a lot easier now that he has a new ankle.

Craig fell over a rock embank-ment in 2008, injuring his ankle. He spent a long time hobbling without healing.

“I fussed with that ankle for years,” Craig says. Diagnosed as having an ankle strain, he tried all the treatments he was prescribed, including medication, wearing a brace, cortisone shots and physi-cal therapy.

Craig learned to accommodate the pain and instability in his ankle over time, but one day he fi nally decided he’d had enough. His doctor recommended fusing the bones in the ankle to relieve the pain.

Craig didn’t like that option be-cause it would greatly reduce his range of motion. He wanted fl ex-ibility and movement so he could remain active and keep on walk-ing, hiking, exercising and gar-dening without being held back by a stiff ankle.

Craig had been active his entire

Baby Boomers changed approach to ankle repairJust a sprain?Get it checked to be sure.

It’s not always easy to tell whether an ankle is “just a sprain” or is broken. Most physicians follow guidelines (known as the “Ottawa Ankle Rules”) to help distinguish between a fracture and a sprain and determine whether X-rays are necessary. A sprain is most likely if you are able to put weight on your foot just after the injury; a frac-ture is most likely if you are unable to walk after the injury.

Even distinguishing between the types of sprain can be tricky. Ankle sprains are not only one of the most common injuries, but they’re also commonly misdiagnosed, according to the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons. That’s because the two major types of sprained ankles – high ankle sprains and lateral ankle sprains – often look the same, even though they affect entirely different ligaments. The less common high ankle sprain is often mistaken for a lateral sprain.

Pain, swelling, limited motion and bruising in the entire ankle region can occur in both types of sprains. The dif-ference lies in where the injury occurs and which ligaments are involved. High ankle sprains affect fi ve ligaments and two bones, while lateral sprains affect three ligaments. The more ligaments affected and the degree in which they are torn, the more severe the injury.

In diagnosing an ankle sprain, it’s

important for physicians to understand how the injury occurred. Lateral sprains are caused by the foot turning inward, whereas high ankle sprains are the re-sult of the foot being forced outward.

To select proper treatment, the physician must fi rst “grade” the sprain’s severity based on the ex-tent of ligament injury. Grading also enables the physician to predict how long it will be before the patient can return to normal activity.

Grade 1 – A stretching of the liga-ments. Treat by using RICE (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation).

Grade 2 – A stretching and some rupture of the ligaments. Treat by us-ing RICE and by allowing additional time to heal. A sprain of this severity may need to be splinted.

Grade 3 – Greater rupture of the ligaments. You may need to wear a cast or a cast brace for two to threw weeks while the injury heals. Repeat-ed ankle sprains may require surgery to repair the ligaments.

Treatment for less serious sprains involves immobilization of the foot and non-weight bearing for two to four weeks. More severe high ankle sprains may require surgery and a longer recovery time.

Active in every seasonCraig is gardening and on the go after arthroplasty at Parkwest

life, from the time he was a small boy working on the family farm in Wisconsin. There had been physi-cal training in the U.S. Army, he was a runner for 40 years, and Craig learned to water ski and golf after the age of 60. Locking the bones in his ankle in place just wasn’t something he was ready for.

But the doctor said there were no other options, unless Craig wanted to travel out of state. No one around here could perform a surgery that would keep Craig’s ankle fl exible, the doctor ex-plained.

Over the course of his 83 years, Craig says he’s learned that he has to take responsibility for his own

health. If that meant getting a sec-ond opinion, then so be it.

At the gym where Craig exer-cises, he struck up a conversa-tion with an instructor who runs marathons. She recommended Tracy Pesut, MD, a board certifi ed physician specializing in the care of the feet and ankles. Pesut per-forms surgery at Parkwest Medi-cal Center.

Craig made an appointment and was pleased to fi nd out that Pesut performs arthroplasty, a procedure that replaces the ankle joint with prosthetic components that allow good range of move-ment and function. He told Pesut he wanted to be active into his

90s, and that having complete fl exibility in his ankle was impor-tant to him.

“I guess I was most impressed that she listened to what I was saying,” Craig says. Pesut heard Craig’s concerns, performed the exam and told him she could fi x his ankle.

After the surgery was sched-uled, Craig began to receive spon-taneous affi rmation that placing his ankle in Dr. Pesut’s hands was the right thing to do.

“I believe in signs,” Craig says, “and her name kept coming up.” He says he began to encounter people all over town who knew about Pesut and knew about her

reputation as a surgeon.“I heard at least 12 references to

her – 12!” Craig exclaims. “It wasunreal.”

The references ranged fromformer patients, to friends andfamily of patients, to people whoknew her when she played soccerin Farragut, to those who knewher as a student at UT Knoxville.It seemed everyone was singingPesut’s praises, and Craig was toldshe had been trained by the best.

“I couldn’t wait to have this sur-gery,” Craig laughs.

He was even more impressedby the planning and attention todetail Pesut displayed in prepara-tion for the procedure. “The plan-ning and preparation were key,”Craig says, “so when the operationhappened, everything would goaccording to plan.”

When the day fi nally arrived,he was ready. Craig says the slo-gan, “Treated Well. Well Treated.”fi t Parkwest Medical Center per-fectly. He had good care, a greatsurgeon and plenty of faith. Therewas nothing to fear.

Craig woke up after surgery;he wiggled his toes and knew in-stantly that the surgery had beena success. Gone were the pain andinstability that had held him backfor so long.

The recovery process wassmooth, and soon he was backto the active lifestyle he loved somuch. Walking, hiking, exercise,travel and gardening were wait-ing for him, and he would be ableto fully enjoy those activities foryears to come.

ebrated its 56th year with a luncheon at Riverside Grille in Oak Ridge. Though the weather wasn’t very spring-like, the camaraderie and smiles of members lit up the room. The group was having so much fun it was diffi cult to gather the new offi cers for a photo.

“When these women get together it can be a rowdy bunch,” said member Carole Whited.

New offi cers elected for 2015-2017 are: Judy Eu-

banks, president; Rowena Brown, fi rst vice president; Lana McMullen and Carole Whited, second vice presi-dents; Debbie Johnson and Wilma Pratt, third vice presidents; Wilma Shu-lar, recording secretary; JoAnne Hoffmeister, cor-responding secretary; Mar-garet Trammell, treasurer; and June Jennings, assis-tant treasurer.

Wilma Shular made a brief presentation on the history of the club. Upcom-ing events include a horti-culture meeting at Willow

Planning for retirement often takes a back seat to planning for day-to-day life. Many people think they don’t need to plan if they have worked and paid into Social Security. More often than not, those people hit retirement only to discover that they can’t live on what they draw from Social Se-curity.

Social Security district man-ager Tom Blevins explains why young people need to know about Social Security during a seminar at Humana Guidance Center. Photo by CindyTaylor

Social Security made easy

Social Security Adminis-tration (SSA) district man-ager Tom Blevins visited Humana Center on Western Avenue to discuss the role Social Security plays in our lives.

“Social Security retire-ment benefi ts were never meant to be a sole means of support,” he said. “It was meant only as a supplement.”

A good foundation for planning your future is to use the SSA pyramid. Other income should be at the top of the pyramid, followed by savings and investments, then pension plans and last of all Social Security ben-efi ts.

Blevins held a lengthy Q&A session for attendees needing information about fi ling for Social Security re-tirement benefi ts at differ-ent ages.

“If you retire at age 62, you get a lower monthly payment, and that will nev-

er increase except for cost-of-living increases voted on by Congress,” he said. “At full retirement age you get your full benefi t.”

Blevins said for those who work past their retirement age, an even higher monthly premium can be expected. Full retirement age require-ments can be found on the Social Security website along with a truckload of other valuable information such as the retirement esti-mator. This tool allows users to create various retirement scenarios. Blevins urged ev-eryone to go online at www.socialsecurity.gov and set upan account.

“No matter your age or retirement plans, the tools on the site will answer most questions,” he said. “Having an online account with us may even help deter identity theft.”

income from admissions and school groups. Instead, directors have to think cre-atively.

Creativity saved the day when the mansion was closed but visitors still stopped by. The home’s his-toric furniture had to be stored during renovations, but the best of the collec-tion was moved into the visitor’s center for an exhibi-tion called “Furniture on the Frontier.”

Most of the furniture is still in storage. Stringer, along with her assistant, David Hearnes, and an in-terpretation committee, are deciding how to best com-

municate Knoxville’s history since the days of William Blount.

Photos of the home from different periods in Knox-ville’s history currently adorn the walls. During a tour, Hearnes points out a doll that was discovered in the wall during the recent renovation. One of the walls has been left open to reveal the foundation, which needs additional repairs.

Even during this period of transition, school groups regularly visit Blount Man-sion. Hearnes thinks the broad range of information at the site makes it appro-priate for the multidisci-

plinary Common Core cur-riculum.

As an example, he de-scribes a science class that was recently taught in the living room. Christmas decorations were still up, and a student noticed they were infested with young praying mantises. Without missing a beat, the teacher presented a lesson about the insects.

Visitors needn’t worry. The bugs quickly ate each other, Hearnes says.

The Blount Mansion is open 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and 10 a.m.-2 p.m. on Saturday. Tours are available each hour. Info: www.blountmansion.org Buying? Improving?

New offensive coordi-nator Mike DeBord has been very busy reviewing Tennessee football video of 2014, analyzing what worked and what didn’t. I hope he smiled when he saw my favorite play.

It was the fake fi eld goal and touchdown pass at Mis-souri, walk-on to walk-on, fl awless execution.

Holder Patrick Ashford, once a Carson-Newman quarterback, took the snap, stood up and threw down the middle to tight end Alex Ellis. The shocker went 31 yards and gave Tennessee a brief lead. It didn’t mat-ter too much in the overall scheme of things, but it sure was fun at the time.

Runner-up happened at South Carolina. There were several choices. Josh-ua Dobbs led a remarkable

Big plays, unforgettable plays

comeback that produced 14 points and a tie in 83 seconds. Aaron Medley kicked what proved to be the decisive field goal in overtime.

DeBord may not have looked at defense. The re-ally big play (or plays) in Co-lumbia came from the other unit that had been mauled and shredded and stepped on for four quarters. The so-called defense gave up 625 yards and looked awful – but in one magic minute won the game.

The fi nish was spectacu-lar: Curt Maggitt and Derek Barnett sacked Gamecock quarterback Dylan Thomp-son on fi rst and second downs. A fi erce rush forced a throwaway on third. Some kid missed a world-record kick and Tennessee faithful whooped and sang and may have shed tears of joy.

I really liked Todd Kel-ly’s one-toe-in interception against Vanderbilt and Josh Smith’s hurdle against the Arkansas State defensive back. Insignifi cant, you say, but interesting.

In my second book, “Leg-ends of the Tennessee Vols,” are stories about great play-ers and a bonus chapter about legendary plays. I’ve been looking for something to add if I ever decide to do a second edition.

That is, I suppose, a gen-

tle way of saying not much legendary has happened in the past several years. May-be you’ve noticed.

That legendary chapter has plays that last forever. ...

The names of Charlie Severance, Bill Majors and Wayne Grubb are carved in marble for The Stop of LSU’s Billy Cannon in 1959.

The Fumble by Arkan-sas’ Clint Stoerner in 1998 was caused by Billy Ratliff. Travis Henry took the win-ning opportunity to the house.

The Return of the open-ing kickoff by Gene McEver in the 1928 Alabama game was historic.

The Hit on Larry Czonka by Paul Naumoff in the 1966 Gator Bowl was textbook, about as good as it gets.

“Paul stood him up and

spit and sweat came up like a water balloon,” was Nick Showalter’s description.

Grantland Rice made Johnny Butler an All American for his back-and-forth run against Alabama in 1939. Hank Lauricella gained football immortal-ity with his smart 75-yarder against Texas in the 1951 Cotton Bowl.

Jeremy Lincoln defl ected the fi nal Notre Dame fi eld-goal attempt with his back-side to secure the 24-point comeback, the Miracle at South Bend. That was Nov. 9, 1991.

“The University of Ten-nessee has not had a more important, or bigger come-back in our school’s history,” said coach John Majors.

“I thank my mom for giv-ing me a big butt,” said Lin-coln.

There were many other legendary plays: Snake Sta-bler threw incomplete to stop the clock near the end

of the 1965 Tennessee-Ala-bama tie. Unfortunately for Snake and the Tide, it was fourth down.

Condredge Holloway scrambled away from pres-sure and hurled a two-point pass to Larry Seivers to beat Clemson in 1974.

Dale Jones rushed Ala-bama QB Mike Shula, blocked a pass from a few feet away and somehow caught the ball on the way down. That saved the 1985 victory.

There was Peyton Man-ning’s stunning bootleg run when nobody was looking and the fi rst-play pass to Joey Kent against Alabama, 80 yards, touchdown! And what Al Wilson did to Flori-da. And what Bobby Majors did to Penn State.

There have been dozens, maybe a hundred memo-rable plays. One more would be nice.Marvin West invites reader reaction. His

Community growingA fun part of my job is to

engage with various com-munities that we serve.

Right now, I’m work-ing hard in Powell where a committee is applying for a $3 million grant to promote economic development.

This particular grant is designed only for commu-nities served by Frontier Communications. With some 300 groups across the country competing, Powell has a good shot at making the fi rst cut – 50 communities that will each get $35,000. The next cut brings 10 fi nalists, each getting $150,000. Three winners will get $3 million, $2 million and $1 million.

It’s worth working on and I’m learning a lot.

Telling the storyAnother extracurricular

activity is our Wednesday afternoon newspaper club at Sarah Moore Greene Magnet Academy.

Three co-workers from Shopper-News work with two teachers and two interns to teach reporting skills.

Reporting is more than the Five Ws (which newspa-per club members will tell you are who, what, where, when and why). Reporting is storytelling, and good reporters put facts into con-text and hear what people mean to say even if their words are fuzzy.

Try explaining that to a third-, fourth- or fi fth-grader.

So last week we talked about “the money quote.”

We paired up, two kids per adult, and I interviewed four students, two in each

session. Wow! It was the best session yet. These kids had as much to say as any guest we’ve had, and the other kids seemed to relate better to their peers.

Meet the kids and learn about them from our SMG reporters:

On WBIR-TV’s Inside Tennessee on March 1, three state legislators discussed this year’s hottest issues – primarily health care and education – with a panel of local experts.

Prescription drugs keep juvenile court busy

When Tim Irwin began his work as a Juvenile Court judge in 2005, there were 300 kids in state custody in Knox County. Now there are 749. Abuse of prescrip-tion drugs has caused the court’s caseload to swell. If it weren’t for those cases, he could spend two days a week fi shing, he says.

“They absolutely drive the train. It’s criminal what’s happening to fami-lies, and it’s criminal that you can use TennCare to get the pills.”

Irwin spoke to the Coun-cil of West Knox County Homeowners last week. He loves his job, but it’s tough, he says. The court heard over 29,000 cases in 2014, and most were about the problems of parents rather than children. Seven judges work under him, and three are devoted to child sup-port of unmarried parents. There are six times more cases involving unmarried parents than married par-ents, he said.

Many of the parents who come to his court don’t work. It’s rare to have cases that involve two working par-ents, he says. The prescrip-tion drug craze has made it

easier to sell drugs than to have a job. If it’s a choice be-tween a job that pays $9 per hour for less than 40 hours per week with no benefi ts or receiving government as-sistance while selling drugs, there’s not much incentive to work.

Addiction to painkill-ers is almost impossible to break, and a result is babies

born to addicted mothers. Every once in a while, the love for a child will pull a mother out of the haze, he says. Otherwise, children are removed from the home.

“We don’t want to take kids away from parents if there’s any way they can make it work. It is a consti-tutional right to parent.”

The pill problem requires

When the legislators were asked their position on vouch-ers, Sens. Doug Overbey and Frank Niceley, Repub-

licans who rarely agree on much, both said they oppose vouchers, but for different reasons:

Overbey said he doesn’t like the idea of taking money away from public schools and pointed out that Blount County (which is in his district) is home to some of the best schools in the state.

Niceley said many Christian and private schools don’t like vouch-ers because accepting them gives the govern-ment a free ticket to stick its nose in their business. He said he once support-ed them, but he’s changed his mind, partially because the money might end up going to a bunch of Muslims.

Former state Rep. Glo-ria Johnson, an adamant voucher opponent, was a panelist. She said the re-search doesn’t show that vouchers lead to improved student performance.

Meanwhile, Kane sat quietly until he was directly questioned about his position on vouch-ers. He mentioned three voucher bills “going around.”

When host John Beck-er pointed out that Kane hadn’t stated his position on vouchers, Kane played coy:

“You didn’t ask,” he said, fi nally allowing as how he’d have to see the “strings” attached to any voucher bill before mak-ing up his mind.

The following week, the Knox County school board voted 8-1 to oppose school vouchers (Doug Harris dissented).

A few days later, Johnson signed onto KnoxViews, a popular website dealing with local issues, and noted that Kane is not only sup-porting vouchers, but is co-sponsoring a voucher bill (HB0125).

Evidently Kane doesn’t care what his Board of Education thinks.

And maybe John Beck-er should call Rep. Kane and invite him to make an encore performance. He’s got some ’splaining to do.

work on a number of fronts. Irwin thinks better training for doctors could keep those who are already addicted from getting new prescrip-tions, and the federal gov-ernment could cap the num-ber of pills prescribed at one time.

While there’s no easy fi x for prescription drug abuse, Irwin knows the formula for helping a child succeed: un-conditional love. If someone spends quality time with a child and tells them they are loved no matter what they do, the child will succeed almost every time, he says.

Whenever people ask what they can do to help, he always tells them to spend time in a child’s life. Become a mentor or volunteer with kids in the community.

He tells the story of tour-ing the Vestal Boys & Girls Club. When one member of

State Sen. Becky Massey and Rep. Ryan Haynes have introduced legislation to modify the Knoxville city charter by allowing the county mayor to submit three names to the city may-or to name one to the KUB board of commissioners.

Normally changes to the city charter are done by a vote of the people and not in Nashville.

Three of the current seven members live outside the city: Nikitia Thompson, Celeste Herbert and Kathy Hamilton.

The city mayor has named each of them from a list submitted by the exist-ing KUB board. Hamilton is a former fi nance director for county government.

It seems that Knoxville developer Scott Davis is a promoter of this legislation. Davis and KUB have had their differences over the years.

He was sued in 2013 by KUB for non-payment of certain expenses KUB says are owed. Davis has attor-ney Lewis Howard defend-ing him, and the amount being contested is less than $17,000. It may go to trial next month.

Rogero has advised Bur-chett’s staff she is opposed to this legislation, which adds another log to the fi re of disagreements building between the two mayors. In

Legislators seek to change city charter

this area, KUB seems to be meeting the desire for rep-resentation outside the city in Knox County. KUB also provides service in adjacent counties.

There is an argument to make that the current sev-en-year terms (allowing 14 years of service) exceed the eight years of term limits that city and county voters have imposed on many of their elected offi cials and that the KUB terms should be reduced to four years each, consistent with city and county offi cials.

■ Knoxville holds city elections this year for mayor, city judge and four council seats. The deadline to qual-ify with the Knox County Election Commission to be on the ballot is noon on June 18, with the city primary on Sept. 29 and the general election Nov. 3.

If a candidate for mayor or city judge receives 50 percent plus one vote in the primary he or she is deemed elected and does not go for-ward to November.

However, even if the three at-large City Coun-

cil candidates receive 50 percent plus one vote in September, each must run again on Nov. 3 when voter turnout may be even less than in September.

The four council mem-bers eligible to seek a second and fi nal term are Finbarr Saunders, George Wallace and Marshall Stair, all at-large; and Mark Campen, District 5.

Wallace and Stair, along with Vice-Mayor Nick Pav-lis, are mentioned as poten-tial mayoral candidates.

Others mentioned in-clude Alvin Nance, who is moving from KCDC to Lawler Wood housing, for-mer city deputy mayor Ed-die Mannis and current city deputy mayor Christi Branscom. Others are sure to pop up.

■ The MPC director search committee is near-ing a decision among three persons who are now being vetted. Mayors Burchett and Rogero will have to approve it.

The MPC board of com-missioners has no voice in the choice as the new direc-tor will not report to them but to the two mayors. This makes for an unclear and potentially unworkable line of authority caused by an act of the Legislature for which no one claims credit.

■ Meanwhile, with the 2016 county primary a year

away, County Commission-er Jeff Ownby is hosting a fundraiser March 26 at the home of Russell and former GOP chair Ruthie Kuhlman. Ownby was a surprise win-ner in 2010’s Haslam land-slide over Democrat Finbarr Saunders, who is now seek-ing a second term on City Council.

Ownby has had a trou-bled tenure on County Com-mission and will face op-position in the Republican primary. Hugh Nystrom of ChildHelp is actively ex-ploring a run. There may be others.

■ While Knoxvillemay be a cakewalk for Mayor Rogero’s re-election (with no one else running), Nash-ville faces a hot and heavy contest with seven credible candidates (all Democrats) as Mayor Karl Dean retires after two terms.

These candidates are well-funded (each having raised over $400,000) and, for at least one, funding is unlimited due to his wealth. No Republican is running.

Candidates include Met-ro Council member Megan Barry, attorney Charles Robert Bone, David Fox, multimillionaire Bill Free-man, Criminal Court Clerk Howard Gentry (former vice mayor), Jeremy Kane and Linda Eskind Re-brovick (daughter of Jane Eskind).

When Republican Rep. Roger Kane, the junior member of the legislative panel, was asked about bills he’s carrying this session, he said he’s got one to make sure indigent defendants looking for state-supported lawyers are really indigent, plus a consumer-protection bill that will ensure that product warranties are on the up-and-up.

Kane, who sits on the Education Committee and chairs a subcommit-tee there, said he’s also got some education bills but generally doesn’t like to sponsor them because he doesn’t think it’s quite kosher to do so.

the group bent down to the tie the shoe of a young child, several other kids untied their shoes because they wanted the same attention.

There’s also a desperate need for foster parents in Knox County. Opportuni-ties range from the long-term care of a drug-addict-ed infant to one- or two-day stints as a Safe Place volun-teer through the Helen Ross McNabb Center.

By Carol ShaneDowntown Knoxville is

becoming a real destina-tion, and not only for the nightlife in the Old City and Market Square. On a re-cent Saturday morning, the city was full of tourists and other urban adventurers exploring Gay Street and the surrounding areas. And over at First Presbyterian Church, there was a group of folks enjoying an awful lot of fun and good food.

The Saturday Morn-ing Breakfast Club, which meets the fi rst Saturday of every month, grew out of the church’s Saturday Morning Men’s Breakfast. Consisting mostly of older church members, the club experienced a decline in membership as many of the faithful moved on to “the great beyond.”

“They were going to close it down,” says Walt Mont-gomery, one of the younger clubbers, “but I was having too much fun. Y’know – vis-iting with people, cutting up in the kitchen.” Mont-gomery has been heading the club for at least 18 years now, cooking, enlisting his friends’ help, lining up speakers for the brief pre-sentation that follows each meal.

And it’s not just for First Presbyterians. Walt would like to see the membership grow to include people from all over Knox County. All that’s required is a happy heart, a desire to get to know your fellow Knoxvil-lians, and whatever mon-etary donation you care to make.

Walt’s brother David Montgomery, a professional landscaper who owns The Garden Walk Horticulture, gave a slide presentation titled “The Beauty and Hu-

mor of Creation; What Was God Thinking?” with com-mentary. Really funny com-mentary. Apparently Walt’s not the only cutup in the family.

Showing one particularly gruesome-looking speci-men, David remarked, “This bloodtooth fungus looks like a scene from CSI.” An-other slide showed the gi-ant weta, the world’s largest cricket. “That is a CHUNK of insect,” he said. “I warn you, don’t Google-image ‘gi-ant weta’ – believe me, you don’t wanna see what else is on there!”

Throughout the presen-tation David remarked on his views regarding nature and the divine. Many of the pictures featured plants that look like, or mimic, other things found in nature, like the ethereal egret fl ower. “God made man in his own image,” he said. “I guess he

made other things in the images of other things!”

A picture of monkey or-chids followed by a picture of an actual monkey brought the comment, “Sorry – I put a picture of my brother on here.” Walt, sitting in the back, immediately chimed in, “He means our other brother.”

David also teaches 13 dif-ferent classes in landscap-ing and plant science at UT. He clearly loves the natural world, and is eager to share his knowledge as a “land-scape coach.”

So if you’re in the mood for a hearty breakfast, in-cluding Walt Montgomery’s delicious fried potatoes, along with some friendly folks and an interesting talk, check out The Satur-day Morning Breakfast Club the fi rst Saturday of every month at First Presbyterian Church, 620 State St.

So, this morning we are all groggier than usu-al. Daylight Saving Time began Sunday, and we lost an hour of sleep.

I have several ques-tions about Daylight Saving Time. In the fi rst place, according to my mother, who remembered such things, America changed the clocks dur-ing World War II, mov-ing them back an hour so that factory workers (part of the war effort) could get home during daylight. Apparently that was never rescinded, so we are already an hour off of “God’s time.” So now, when we move the clocks back, we are another hour out of sync from the sun and “God’s time” and are really and truly confus-ing all the roosters in the land!

Some wise man (possi-bly Will Rogers; it sounds like him!) opined that DST was like cutting off one end of your blanket and sewing it onto the other end to make it lon-ger!

My soul waits for the Lord more than those who watch for the morning, more than those who watch for the morning.

(Psalm 130: 6 NRSV)

Saving daylight

CrossCurrents

LynnPitts

And another thing: I take it as a personal af-front that it always hap-pens on Sunday. I suppose the government fi gures that if we oversleep and miss church, no harm, no foul. But heaven for-fend that we are late for work! As a Christian, I re-sent the assumption that church is not as important as a job. Of course, church was my job, so when I was working, I had to get up in what seemed the middle of the starry night and drive across town to warm up the choir for the early service!

Now that I am mostly retired and live a half mile from the church I at-tend, it’s not a problem. Besides, I’m getting old and can’t sleep late any-how!

By Cindy Taylor Celebration Sunday is

coming up at Bethany B a p t i s t Church. On March 22, the church will com-m e m o r a t e its 150th birthday.

In Feb-ruary 1865, Milan Baptist Church relinquished mem-bership letters to a group of 14 men and women who left to organize their own con-gregation closer to home. On the third Sunday in March 1865, Bethany Bap-tist Church was formed. The congregation met in an empty house with Elder Levi Adkins called as the fi rst pastor. The original church building was com-pleted in 1888. While much has changed in 150 years, that fi rst building is still part of today’s church site.

Through the years Beth-any has had more than 25 pastors, 10 of whom are still living. Current pastor, the Rev. Donnie McGinnis,

Rev. McGinnis

has been with the church for three years. McGinnis believes there is a good rea-son why Bethany remains an active force in the com-munity during times when some congregations are

disbanding.“I believe Bethany has

been able to stand strong for 150 years because we hold to the same values as those who started the church. We have not wavered in the face

of adversity. We try to be a beacon of hope for the com-munity by believing in the same God and the same Bible as the founding mem-bers.”

The 150th anniversary celebration will begin at 11 a.m. at Bethany. For-mer pastor, the Rev. Kyle Weaver, will bring the mes-sage. Brothers Ronald and Berney Hill, sons of former pastor, the Rev. Walter Hill, will perform special music. A barbecue lunch will be served after worship, and the afternoon will include a time of sharing special memories by former and current members. Several descendants of charter members are planning to attend.

All members and for-mer members are invited to come and help celebrate the special day. Those with stories to share are asked to contact Jean Snodderly at 922-2818 or Ashley Mul-ligan at mcfarlandanm@gmail.com.

Students and staff mem-bers at West Haven Elemen-tary spent the day dressing up in colorful costumes and competing in Seuss trivia and door-decorating con-tests.

■ Green eggs and hamKindergartners at Pleas-

ant Ridge Elementary en-joyed celebrating Dr. Seuss’ birthday with a huge help-ing of green eggs and ham.

The day began with stu-dents hearing the story “Green Eggs and Ham” and then brainstorming how the dish would be made and how it might taste. To pre-pare the feast, each student was given the opportunity

to crack an egg, most for their fi rst time.

While intern Carrie Pote-at served as master chef, the students watched a short fi lm based on the book. After everyone was served eggs, all of the students took at least one adventurous bite. Students then took a bowl of eggs to the librar-ian, who gobbled them up with a smile.

Researchers estimate that about 20 percent of American women over the age of 50 have osteoporosis. In addition, another 30 percent of them have osteopenia, which is abnormally low bone density that may eventually deteriorate into osteoporosis, if not treated. About half of all women over the age of 50 will suffer a fracture of the hip, wrist, or vertebra.

There are no symptoms in the early stages of osteoporosis. Symptoms oc-curring late in the disease include low back pain, neck pain, bone pain and tenderness, loss of height over time and stooped posture.

Chiropractic care works on relieving symptoms and complications associated with osteoporosis.

By Dr. Donald G. WegenerOsteoporosis is the

thinning of bone tis-sue and loss of bone density over time. Os-teoporosis is the most common type of bone disease. There are currently an estimated 10 million Americans

suffering from osteoporosis, as well as another 18 million who have low bone mass, or osteopenia.

Osteoporosis occurs when the body fails to form enough new bone, or when too much old bone is reab-sorbed by the body, or both. Calcium and phosphate are two minerals that are essential for normal bone forma-tion. Throughout youth, the body uses these minerals to produce bones. If calcium intake is not suffi cient, or if the body does not absorb enough calcium from the diet, bone produc-tion and bone tissues may suffer. As people age, calcium and phosphate may be reabsorbed back into the body from the bones, which makes the bone tissue weaker. Both situations can result in brittle, fragile bones that are subject to fractures, even in the

City native Samantha Parris has opened a law offi ce on Central Avenue Pike.

A practicing attorney for seven years, Parris at-tended Central High School her freshman year and then transferred to Gibbs High School. After graduating from Gibbs, Parris attended UT for a bachelor’s degree with an accounting major and law school.

To keep things simple for her clients, Parris charges a fl at fee rather than billing by the hour and offers a free initial consultation. She is willing to travel to a client’s home, hospital room, nurs-ing home or hospice if they are unable to get to her. Par-ris says people often wait until the end stages of a se-rious illness to think about preparing a will.

“When this happens it is of paramount importance

to fi nd a lawyer who will see to your needs immediately

and effi -ciently,” she said. “One of my cli-ents passed away just weeks after she signed her will. Because I was willing

to visit her in the hospital and prepare her documents quickly, her fi nal wishes were carried out exactly as she specifi ed.”

Parris has received a Martindale-Hubbell AV rating from her peers in the legal community, a sig-nifi cant accomplishment ranking her at the highest level of professional excel-lence. Parris is president of the Knoxville Chapter of the Society of Financial Service Professionals. She teaches seminars for other lawyers on wills, estate planning

and probate, and has writ-ten articles on those topics in legal publications.

Parris focuses on wills and trusts, probate, conser-vatorships, powers of attor-ney and business law. She says it is imperative for ev-eryone to have a valid will.

“If you don’t have a will, the government can decide what happens to your prop-erty when you die. In some cases they can even decide who gets your children. I use my combination of ex-perience and compassion to prepare a valid will for my clients that protects their wishes.”

The Law Offi ce of Saman-tha Parris is located close to I-275 at 4610 Central Avenue Pike, Suite 102 in a converted Victorian house. Parking is free and the of-fi ce is handicap accessible. Hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Friday. Info: 687-8744 or samanthapar-rislaw.com.

Delicious creations in batter and frosting fi lled the Tennessee Terrace level of Neyland Stadium on Satur-day, Feb. 28, as more than 150 beautifully decorated cakes, cake pops, cupcakes and non-edible diaper cakes fi lled the room. The Great Cake Bake, now in its sixth year, is a tasty fundraising event by the Knox County Public Library, with all pro-ceeds going to Dolly Par-ton’s Imagination Library of Knox County.

The contest attracts pro-fessionals, children, teens and home cooks and fea-tures cake and pastry sam-plings for attendees.

Art from the oven

By Sherry WittAmid a harsh onslaught

of wintry w e a t h e r , we saw an e n c o u r a g-ing trend for local real estate and lend-ing markets during Feb-ruary. For

the month ending on Fri-day, Feb. 27, there were 585 property transfers recorded in Knox County, surpassing both the January total of 583 as well as last Febru-ary’s output of 551 sales.

The total value of prop-erty sold was $147.9 million,

which also barely topped January’s aggregate and easily bested last February’s total of only $91 million. On the mortgage side, the Feb-ruary numbers dipped be-low January’s lending pace as approximately $194 mil-lion was borrowed against real property, compared to $227 million during the fi rst month of the year. However, the February activity was well ahead of last year’s fi g-ure of $158.5 million.

Perhaps the most re-markable statistic was that these rather robust num-bers came during a Febru-ary that was shortened to just 15 working days due to several factors includ-

ing weather, Presidents’ Day and the short 28-day month.

Among the most note-worthy property sales of the month was the transfer of an apartment complex located at 2308 Forest Ave. in the Fort Sanders commu-nity. The property was sold to Acc Op (University Walk TN) LLC, for a listed price of $30 million.

The largest mortgage transaction was a loan to the Industrial Development Board of the city of Knox-ville, secured by a deed of trust of $9 million. The loan was said to be for the reno-vation of the Medical Arts Building at 603 Main Ave.

The Stepmother (Cate

Blanchett) keeps Ella (Lily

James) in her place – as a

servant – in “Cinderella.”

Brooklyn mobster and hit man Jimmy Conlon (Liam Neeson), right, tries to persuade his old

friend and boss, Shawn Maguire (Ed Harris), from going after his estranged son in “Run All Night.”

Ella (Lily James) arrives at

the ball in “Cinderella.”

This week’s new mov-ies go after totally different audiences, but they share a theme of familiarity.

The fairy-tale obsession that’s been fi lling screens large and small in recent years continues with “Cin-derella.”

These days, you can’t spin a wand around a room without hitting some prin-cess, particularly of the Disney ilk. The problem, er, situation, is only going to get worse, er, multiply, with the release of the new live-action version of “Cinderel-la” – from Disney, of course.

Opulently fi lmed by di-rector Kenneth Branagh, this new “Cinderella” brings a message of courage and compassion. The heroine looks for good in people and has a kind heart; but of course she’s not opposed to donning a magical ball gown when the occasion calls for it.

According to the press notes, screenwriter Chris Weitz (“About a Boy”)

Disney revisits ‘Cinderella’; Neeson tries to save another child

Betsy Pickle

Same, but diff erent:

fl eshes out the characters to make them more relatable, without being revisionist. Casting Cate Blanchett as the evil Stepmother is a big step toward making that dream come true. Blanchett plays Cinderella’s father’s widow as a woman who’s experienced loss of her own.

Blanchett may draw an unexpected demographic to the fi lm, as may Helena Bonham-Carter, who plays the Fairy Godmother, and Lily James of “Downtown Abbey” fame, who plays Ella. Not sure what the casting of Richard Madden (“Game of Thrones”) as the Prince will do for the PG-rated movie’s box offi ce.

The cast also includes

Ben Chaplin and Hayley At-well as Cinderella’s parents (briefl y), Derek Jacobi as the King and Stellan Skars-gard as the scheming Grand Duke.

Liam Neeson contin-ues his action-hero reign in “Run All Night.” The “Taken” star plays Jimmy Conlon, a Brooklyn mobster and hit man who’s trying to drink his way to the side-lines of crime.

When his boss and long-time best friend, Shawn Maguire (Ed Harris), tries to make Jimmy’s estranged son, Mike (Joel Kinnamon), pay for the death of his son, Jimmy must get off the bar-stool and decide his loyal-ties.

The fi lm’s impressive cast also includes Vincent D’Onofrio, Common (recent Oscar winner for Best Origi-nal Song, “Glory,” from “Sel-ma”), Bruce McGill, Patricia Kalember and Holt McCal-lany. Jaume Collet-Serra (“Non-Stop,” “Unknown”) directed.

The Grouper Po’ Boy at Puleo’s Grille is served with crispy fries. Photo by Mystery Diner

The Midtown Men will be bringing the glorious sounds of the

’60s to the Knoxville Civic Auditorium this weekend. Photo sub-mitted

The Midtown Men are coming. And you’re going to love hearing them.

Sometimes, it’s sand-wich time. Whether that is a lunch break or time for dinner, there are those days when the whole delicious menu of a restaurant just sinks into the background as the sandwich section pops to the front.

At Puleo’s Grille, there are some very tasty sand-wiches from which to choose, from burgers to po’ boys to fi sh tacos to “BLTs” of both the turkey and fried-green-tomato variety.

Puleo’s has one of those menus that keep you com-ing back because there are so many “kinds” of foods to try. Their mission state-ment is to be a blend of “the traditional steak and seafood restaurant with Southern comfort and tra-ditional Italian offerings.” The menu captures that philosophy with comfort

Plate it

Puleo’s Grille

Mystery Diner

foods like shrimp and grits and turkey and dressing and Italian specialties such as Nona’s Lasagna, Paler-mo Chicken and Eggplant Parmesan.

On a sandwich day, how-ever, the Grouper Po’ Boy was just the right fi t. A nice piece of grouper was the star of the show, although the dill caper remoulade deserved some top billing. The lettuce and tomatoes were crisp and ripe.

The way to ruin a piece of grouper is to overbread and underseason it. Puleo’s grouper had a crunchy,

delicate seasoning, allow-ing the taste of the grouper to come through. It also meant that what, at fi rst glance, looked like too thin a fi let to carry the sandwich turned out to be right on target.

Puleo’s French bread roll was fresh and very lightly toasted, again, pulling the

whole sandwich together. Each bite had the right combination of bread, let-tuce, tomato, remoulade and, of course, grouper.

Puleo’s has four locations in East Tennessee now. One is in Alcoa, and the three Knox County locations are at Cedar Bluff, Strawberry Plains and Merchant Drive.

Oh, what a

wind, jumping up from their seats and twisting the night away. What else can you do with a live and in-person, sounding-and-looking-just-like-the-real-thing Beatles band pumping out “Twist and Shout”?

Earlier this season, “The Sounds of Simon and Garfunkel,” featuring the talented performers A.J.

Swearingen & Jonathan Beedle, had much the same effect, albeit a bit quieter one. Still to come this sea-son, concertgoers can look forward to “The Music of Queen” in April and “A Trib-ute to Elvis Presley” in May.

Despite a wealth of tal-ented present-day singers and performers, the KSO knows which generation

had the best popular music. And they know that folks never, ever get tired of hear-ing it.

“The Midtown Men” features Michael Longo-ria, Daniel Reichard, Tony Award nominee J. Robert Spencer and the 2006 Tony Award winner for “Best Featured Actor in a Musi-cal,” Christian Hoff. As the stars of “Jersey Boys,” the Broadway mega-hit about Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, these four talented actors shared the stage for over 1,000 performances and delighted television au-diences with appearances on the “Today” show, “The Late Show with David Let-terman” and “Dick Clark’s Rockin’ New Year’s Eve.”

The group is particularly special because they are the fi rst principal cast of a high-profi le musical that has had major success as a completely new entity.

So come out this Satur-day night and revel in those great sounds. “This is not mimicry or tribute,” says the Midtown Men website, “it’s a true celebration of the music of an era.”

“The Midtown Men,” part of the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra’s News Sentinel Pops Series, will be present-ed at 8 p.m. this Saturday, March 14, at Knoxville’s Civic Auditorium. For tick-ets, call 291-3310 or visit www.knoxvillesymphony.com.Send story suggestions to news@shop-

pernewsnow.com.

Now on their third na-tional tour, four stars from the original cast of “Jersey Boys” will be sharing the stage with the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra this weekend, bringing to life their favorite hits from the Beatles, the Beach Boys, Motown, the Four Seasons and more.

KSO pops concerts are always fun for everyone. The guest artists are usu-ally pleasantly surprised at the caliber of the orchestra. Maybe they’re not expect-ing much from our Scruffy Little City. After all, most of these folks come from New York and Los Angeles.

But I can tell you fi rst-hand that, though there may be only two rehears-als – sometimes only one – your hometown orchestra shines every time.

For me, as the pianist for the orchestra, it’s a pleasure to play the hits I grew up loving. The KSO has hosted Beatles tribute bands three times in my tenure, and ev-ery one of those concerts was a blast. Two of them ended with orchestra mem-bers fl inging caution to the

SERVING SINCE

Unless you are Marvin West, Tom Mattingly,

Ben Byrd, Bob Gilbert or Bud Ford, you probably never heard of a famous lo-cal athlete named Strang Nicklin.

The late, inimitable Ron Allen brought him to my at-tention with the 2011 pub-lication of his unique book, “Knoxville, Tennessee, in the Gay Nineties,” a compi-lation of historic events in Knoxville and Knox County in that decade.

Anyone who has spent

an hour or two at the neck-breaking task of reading mi-crofi lm will wonder how Al-len managed to comb the fi lm of local newspapers for that entire decade and to excerpt memorable events in their chronological order. This month’s subject is mentioned several times in that book.

Allen announced that, in February 1897, Strang Nicklin, captain of the 1896 University of Tennessee football team, signed a con-tract to play baseball with the Columbus, Ga., profes-

sional baseball team, then in the Southern League. The account also said that he would still be a member of the football team in the fall, although today he would no longer hold amateur status and would be ineligible.

Even more surprising was the December 1899 an-nouncement that UT had defeated Grant Memorial University (later Tennessee Wesleyan) 6-0 in a game played in Chattanooga with none other than Strang Nicklin as the halfback for

Wesleyan. The article point-ed out that he had played football for that team in 1894, football at North Car-olina in 1895, professional baseball for the Knoxville Indians (also Columbus, Ga.) and football at UT in 1896 and 1897.

It was his speed that brought him the most atten-tion. As an example of that speed, the Cincinnati Reds stopped in Chattanooga in the spring of 1895 to play Strang’s amateur team in an exhibition match. The

Reds player-manager was the legendary Buck Ewing. Late in the game, Ewing crushed a ball to deep cen-ter fi eld and Strang, then 18 years old, “turned like a fl ash at the crack of the bat,” chased down the ball and made a leaping catch while the stands roared with ap-plause. Buck Ewing got the surprise of his life when the young outfi elder robbed him of a base hit.

But those early years were only the beginning of Nicklin’s long career in sports.

Samuel Strang Nicklin was born in Chattanooga, the third of the four sons of John Bailey Nicklin (1845-1919) and Elizabeth Kay-lor Nicklin (1850-1924), on Dec. 16, 1876. His father, a Pennsylvania native, had joined the Union Army as a drummer boy at only 16 years of age and served in the Pennsylvania Infantry (USA) for the entire Civil War (1861-1865). He had moved to Chattanooga in 1866 to found a pharmacy with his brother. His active interest in city government enabled him to serve on the Board of Aldermen and to be elected mayor in 1887. Later, as a refl ection of his keen interest in baseball, he was appointed president of the Southern Baseball League, where he served from 1892 to 1902.

Strang Nicklin was prominent in sports during his high school years, star-ring in both baseball and football in North Carolina and Tennessee and, after college, pursuing a career in minor league baseball.

Then came the Spanish-American War (1898) and, following the tradition of the Nicklin family, he vol-unteered and rose to the rank of fi rst lieutenant in the Third Tennessee Volun-teer Infantry, although his unit did not see combat. His military records provide the earliest record of his stature and weight: 5-feet-7 and 146 pounds.

With the war over, Strang decided to pursue profes-sional baseball as a career in spite of the disapproval of his parents. Refl ecting their perceived upper-class standards, they thought

it was an unrespectablecareer path for their col-lege-educated son. Strangthought he could protect thefamily image by playing farfrom home and using vari-ous pseudonyms. At CedarRapids, Iowa, he was “ClydeStrang,” and at Wheeling,W.Va., and St. Joseph, Mo.,he was “Sam Strang.”

Early in his minor-leaguecareer, Nicklin playedshortstop, making someoutstanding plays and somewoeful blunders. He was aleft fi elder in Wheeling andshowed more skill at thirdbase in St. Joseph. Althoughhe was originally a right-handed batter, he learnedto bat left-handed at St. Jo-seph and, thereafter, was aswitch-hitter.

Then known as “SammyStrang,” he was called up in1901 to the big leagues andthe New York Giants, wherehe got off to a torrid start,leading the National Leaguewith a .420 batting averagein early June. The sports-writers commented on theway he choked up on thebat and on his blazing speedcatching long fl ies and run-ning bases.

During his career in thebig leagues (1901-1908),over half of it with the Gi-ants, the infi elder-outfi elderplayed 393 games at thirdbase, 238 at second, 165 inthe outfi eld and occasional-ly at either shortstop or fi rstbase. Nicklin’s fi nest seasonwas 1906 when, playing forJohn McGraw’s Giants, heled the National Leaguein on-base percentage andstole a career-high 49 bases.McGraw pioneered the useof “pinch-hitters” by usingStrang in that role and, ac-cording to some authori-ties, the name was chosenbecause of the way he “camethrough in the pinch.”

Nicklin ended his big-league career in 1908 witha phenomenal lifetime on-base percentage of .377, hav-ing scored 100 runs in boththe 1902 and 1903 seasons.However, his career in base-ball was far from over ashe would later coach at twouniversities, during whichhis career would intersectwith a tall Texas nativenamed Robert R. Neyland,something we will discussin next month’s article.
