By Wendy SmithAs a former employee of Eastern
State Psychiatric Hospital, Claud Crawford thinks a museum dedi-cated to the history of the facility should be a part of Lakeshore Park.
He fears that much of the hospi-tal’s history has already been lost. He remembers reading a 19th-cen-tury description of the superinten-dent’s job that was written when the facility was named East Tennessee Asylum for the Insane. At the time, the hospital’s maximum capacity was 250, and the superintendent was required to wish everyone a “pleasant good night,” he says.
Crawford doesn’t recall what happened to the job description, but he thinks it may be gone forever.
Another important document that has been lost is the record of those interred at the hospital’s cemetery, which is located behind the East Tennessee State Veterans Cemetery on Lyon’s View Drive. Crawford toured the cemetery, which dates back to the late 1880s, with the Shopper News. A few hun-dred graves are simply marked with numbers. A dozen or so have head-stones that were installed by family members.

staff members spent the night. It was a hell hole, he says. The
only way the staff could manage so many patients was to sedate them.
Crawford remembers when state legislators and reporters paid a surprise midnight visit to the hospital in 1971 to investigate al-legations of overcrowding and un-
By Nancy AndersonTo celebrate the fi rst anniver-
sary of the Cedar Bluff Kroger, the company presented $32,000 to Second Harvest Food Bank. The money was raised through Kroger’s “Bringing Hope to the Table” promotion, a 2-week cam-paign in which customers and associates contributed by buying selected items.
The Kroger Company and Sec-ond Harvest have a long partner-ship, both locally and across the country.
Second Harvest of East Ten-nessee feeds one million people monthly, with 64 percent of them living in Knox County. Since $1 provides three meals, $32,000 is going to come in handy. But the work isn’t over.
Next up is the “Buddy Pack” pro-motion for children. Kroger works with the participating school sys-

Kroger boosts Second Harvest
tem to make sure children in need have good food to eat all week. For some, getting adequate food after school and on weekends is a prob-lem. The “Buddy Pack” program
provides nutritious food to fi ll in the gaps between school lunches.
Elaine Streno, executive direc-tor of Second Harvest, acknowl-edged the generosity of Kroger.
She said the food chain joined the Feeding America network at its in-ception, leading the way for others to follow.
Stephanie Turner, special proj-ects coordinator for Kroger, is pleased with her company’s com-mitment.
“It’s great to work for a com-pany such a Kroger that allows its employees to partner with the community and change lives. We like to pay things forward even at work.”
District manager Tim Cog-gins agreed, adding, “We see this more and more in the leadership of our company. That is our man-tra we live by. Make a difference and change lives. It’s been a huge transformation throughout our organization and one that we’re really proud of.”

Amy Broyles walked a fi ne line while moderating a meeting with Sheriff Jim-my “J.J.” Jones and some 100 supporters of Knox-ville’s immigrant commu-nity.
The topic was the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) 287 (g) program, which Jones could decide to adopt this month. Jones and Captain Terry Wilshire, who di-rects the intake center and Jimmy “J.J.” Jones
No business like jail businesswill supervise 287(g), said only corrections offi cers and an ICE supervisor will participate in the program.
Both said it will ben-efi t all concerned, because suspects will be allowed to post bond while await-ing deportation hearings in Louisiana or Memphis, rather than waiting out the time in jail. Jones also promised that his offi cers will not “profi le” people on the street.
Broyles, one of two Democrats on the commis-
sion, said she was there to be a neutral moderator and to allow an open exchange of ideas. She had many supporters in the audi-ence, all of whom oppose 287 (g), described as “One of ICE’s top partnership initiatives, (which) allows a state and local law enforce-ment entity to enter into a partnership with ICE, un-der a joint Memorandum of Agreement (MOA). The state or local entity re-ceives delegated authority for immigration enforce-
ment within their jurisdic-tion.”
Members of the audi-ence were unconvincedthat deputizing jailersas ICE offi cers is a goodidea. They said 287 (g)has a record of failure incommunities where it hasbeen tried – particularlyin Nashville, where a courtordered Metro DavidsonCounty to pay $200,000to an undocumented Mexi-can woman who went into

at Lakeshore Park
According to Knox County cem-etery historian Robert McGinnis, there may be as many as 6,000 former patients buried in the cemetery. Before last year, family members could request informa-tion about where their loved ones were buried, he says, but when the hospital closed, all records were destroyed.
The history of Eastern State isn’t all pretty, according to Crawford. He had a doctorate in counseling when he began working at the hos-pital in 1970, but he didn’t have the opportunity to do much counsel-ing. He was in charge of Lonas Hall and the Jane Keller Building. At the time, there were over 400 pa-tients in Lonas Hall and only nine
New principal at West Hills School
Ina Langston has been named principal at West Hills
Elementary School.
She has been principal at West Haven Elementary School since 2008.
Langston joined the
Knox County Schools in 1994 as a teacher at Karns Interme-diate School. She has previous teaching experience in Texas, Washington and Europe. She worked as a teacher and administrative assistant at Hardin Valley Elementary School before being assigned as an assistant principal there in 2007.
She holds a bachelor’s degree in elementary educa-tion from the Texas Woman’s University, a master’s in cur-riculum and instruction from Texas A&M, and an education specialist degree in adminis-tration and leadership from UT.
Smith not runningKnox County Commissioner
R. Larry Smith says he’s not a candidate for trustee, not now or in 2014.
“I was out-spoken during the time the trustee (John Duncan) was under inves-tigation, but
not because I wanted his job,” said Smith. “I think it’s absurd that county employees could get $3,000 every year for eight hours of continuing education, and it’s even more so when they have someone else take their tests.”
Duncan III resigned last week after pleading guilty to offi cial misconduct. Smith runs an insurance agency and owns com-mercial rental property in Halls and Fountain City.

labor and gave birth while shackled in jail (she was charged with driving with-out a license and being held for ICE). Others said immi-gration reform already un-derway could make 287 (g) obsolete before Jones gets it started.
Jones said he is not re-sponsible for abuses in oth-er jurisdictions. Audience members accused him of not doing his homework.
“Why do you feel com-fortable doing this when you do not know how citizens feel about this issue?” asked one speaker.
“I just hope that when I make this decision that it is the right decision,” Jones said.
Safety Centertask force formed
U.S. District Judge Tom Phillips has asked city and county offi cials to form a task force to study ways to relieve jail overcrowding, and the long-simmering plan to build a safety center to handle non-violent mentally ill inmates could be the solution.
One tough issue is wheth-er city taxpayers should con-tribute fi nancially to the proj-ect in addition to the county taxes they already pay.
“The concept has some appeal to us as something to pursue, but it’s not fl eshed out enough yet,” said Bill Lyons, policy director for
Mayor Madeline Rogero. “What happens if somebody is dropped off and is there a couple of days with addic-tion problems? A couple of days stay isn’t going to do much. Are we really helping anything by doing that? We just need to fl esh out exactly what the model is and how it would work.”
County Mayor Tim Bur-chett has reservations, as well:
“We put a million bucks in the budget for it, if it’s feasible. I just want to make sure it’s not just a drunk tank. I want it for segregat-ing the mentally ill popula-tion, to get an early diagno-sis and not put them in jail.”
sanitary conditions. When he was subpoenaed to tes-tify at subsequent hearings, Crawford said he thought that patients were receiving far too many drugs.
The scandal led to sev-eral improvements, includ-ing the appointment of Dr. John Marshall as superin-tendent at Eastern State. Crawford liked Marshall for his stance against over-medication of patients.
When the East Tennes-
see Asylum for the Insane opened in 1873, it was mod-eled after the Hartford Re-treat, which was founded in 1823 in Hartford, Conn., Crawford says. Hartford Retreat was modeled af-ter York Retreat, which was founded in England in 1796. Both mental health centers focused on the hu-mane and moral treatment of patients.
Things changed when insanity was declared to
be incurable, he says. That meant that families of men-tal patients were given no hope that their loved ones would improve, and were encouraged to write obitu-aries for patients when they were admitted.
Crawford left Eastern State in 1974, but he contin-ues to speak up against the over-prescription of drugs for mental patients.
“The defi nition of mental health (care) is integrity.”

It’s summer vacation for most Knox County students, but learning goes on at Pond Gap Elementary, where 65 students are enrolled in the University-Assisted Com-munity School.
Pond Gap art exhibit at UT
A dozen UT art education majors taught art classes at Pond Gap this summer, and the lessons culminated with an art show that will hang in the fi rst fl oor of the Jane and David Bailey Education Complex at UT through July.
Fourth and 5th-grade students from Pond Gap at-tended the opening of the exhibit and discussed their work in front of an audience. The experience affi rmed the children, which is the whole point of the UACS, says di-rector Bob Kronick, a profes-sor in educational psychology and counseling in UT’s Col-lege of Education, Health and Human Sciences. It also gave them a method to express their emotions concretely.
“When you put a piece of
art up there, that’s your guts,” Kronick says.
The UT students used an interdisciplinary approach that combined art with other subjects, like watercolor with a history lesson on the Har-lem Renaissance. He thinks the experience affi rmed their decision to become teachers.
“It was one of the most beautiful and rewarding days I’ve experienced in a long time,” a future teacher wrote after the exhibit.
■ A sweet harvestMoney doesn’t grow on
trees, but it turns out that candy and soda come from the garden.
Participants in last week’s Lil’ Gardeners program at the UT Gardens made mint and licorice-fl avored candy and root beer from ingredients found in the Kitchen Garden.
The goal of the program, says HGTV-UT Gardens educator Derrick Stowell, is to show kids which parts of plants are edible, and that plants can be used to make other things.
Mint fl avored one batch of candy and ground fen-nel and anise seed fl avored the licorice batch. Root beer syrup, made with purchased root extract, was mixed with
carbonated water to create a soda to rival A&W.
The youngsters learned something else from the can-dy-making, too.
“The kids observed how much sugar is in candy,” says Stowell. “It tastes great, but it’s not very healthy.”
Anna Ribbeck, an environ-mental horticulture major at LSU who is currently intern-ing at the UT Gardens, assist-ed with the class. LSU doesn’t have a public garden, she said.
HGTV’s partnership with the UT Gardens pays for in-terns, Stowell said.
■ Ample photo ops at UT Gardens The best summer fun
happens when you least ex-pect it. Such was the case when kid reporter Laurel Smith found herself at the UT Gardens with access to her mother’s camera.
If you haven’t visited late-ly, the free, public gardens are one of Knoxville’s most dazzling jewels. They are the perfect place to relax or ex-plore, and the best times to fully appreciate the gardens are in the cool parts of the day – morning and evening.
But Laurel and I found the gardens to be just perfect after our visit with the Lil’
Gardeners, even though it was high noon – and sprin-kling. What was supposed to be a quick stroll through the Kitchen Garden turned into a casual meander that included the HGTV Garden and the
Beall Family Rose Garden.It was the towering sun-
fl owers that made Laurel ask for my camera. Many of the garden’s fl owers were abuzz with bumble bees, which made for ample photo oppor-

tunities. It’s easy to take good pictures of fl owers, since each is like a work of art, she says.
A giant grasshopper sculp-ture, an antique truck “bed,” and curious koi are other at-tractions that are sure to de-light young visitors.
The rain may have played havoc with our outdoor fun this summer, but it has pro-duced beautiful blooms. Don’t miss this season’s show at the UT Gardens.

Schumpert for interim trustee Former Knoxville mayor
and city council member Daniel Brown and wife Cathy as well as city council member Finbarr Saun-ders and wife Ellen have returned from a week in Turkey where they were the guests of the Turkish Cultural Center.
They visited Istanbul and Izmir. Former council member Rob Frost (now council attorney) made a similar trip a few years ago. City taxpayers did not pay for the travel.
■ The remaining state-owned land at Lake-shore Park still has not been transferred to the city of Knoxville which must approve the transfer by council action.
While a well-attended public hearing has been held on the park’s future, the land is not in city hands although it had been expected to be transferred two months ago. The good news is that it will happen and with former deputy mayor Larry Martin now interim commissioner of fi -nance for Gov. Bill Haslam, there is a person there to birddog it to reality.
The city cannot spend money on needed actions until the city owns it. Eventually the transfer will happen. It will be a great milestone in the develop-ment of city parks.
■ Council member Nick Della Volpe is ex-cited that the Loves Creek greenway will formally open on Thursday, Aug. 1, with Mayor Rogero in at-tendance at 10 a.m. This is an effort of the city, county and neighborhood activ-ists. This new greenway is a credit to East Knoxville and a nice addition to the slowly growing city greenway system.
■ With the resigna-tion of John Duncan III as county trustee, atten-tion switches to whom county commission may choose as the interim trust-ee and then who will seek the position in the August 2014 county election.
Two members of the cur-rent Knox County Commis-sion are mentioned. They are Ed Shouse and Larry Smith. Mike Hammond is a possibility as well. Most suspect they will not seek
the interim appointment but may seek the full 4-year term when it is up next year. However, both will have a vote among the 11 commis-sioners on who will fi ll the position in a few weeks.
Commission is likely to choose a caretaker who will not seek the position. One name which would be well received and a good choice would be former trustee and county mayor Tommy Schumpert. He probably would not want it and would need to be drafted, but he has held the posi-tion before with no issues against him.
In fact, he did such a good job with it that he was able to win the county mayor’s position over a longtime incumbent.
Schumpert has been elected to countywide offi ce three times and is highly regarded by Democrats and Republicans alike. As a Democrat, he falls in the Phil Bredesen-Wayne Ritchie wing of the party which makes him accept-able to many Republicans.
Schumpert would not need training to do the job and his integrity and judg-ment are beyond question.
■ The Republican primary could be a free-for-all with not only Smith and Shouse running but also Craig Leuthold.
Shouse is the only one of those three to have been nominated and elected countywide as well as being elected several times to city offi ce. If Hammond enters then he could claim win-ning countywide as well.
Others may line up for this open seat as well. Once three or four candidates get in, others may be attracted knowing a plurality will nominate and a clear ma-jority is not required to win the primary. In fact, in such a race 30 percent could nominate an individual.
■ The task force named by the governor to consider construction of a new state museum will meet Wednesday, July 10, in Nashville. It is chaired by Tom Smith of Nashville. The current museum is located in the basement of the James K. Polk Building in Nashville.
■ Abbie Hudgens, who worked for the city of Knoxville while I was mayor and with former city law director Tom Varlan, has been named director of the workers compensation system by Gov. Haslam for a six-year term which will take her to the end of his second term as governor.
How about a mulligan on the ‘08 referendum There’s a blank space
on Knox County’s website in the spot that used to be occupied by the county’s banker.
Soon, Knox County Com-mission will begin the pro-cess of appointing a new trustee to serve in place of John J. Duncan III (“Triple Sticks” to his friends), the fi rst-term elected trustee who last week entered a guilty plea to offi cial mis-conduct and resigned while his anguished parents watched.
The trustee is entrusted with collecting and depos-iting property tax revenues as well as state and federal funds allotted to the county. Integrity is high on the list of job requirements, and the young trustee made a great initial impression by hir-ing an in-house attorney to collect delinquent taxes in-stead of awarding the job as a fat political plum to a sup-porter in private practice.
Despite the humiliation visited on the proud Duncan family, JDIII’s adjudicated misdeeds involve relatively small sums of money and lying to investigators, for which he is unlikely to serve jail time and could become eligible for judicial diver-sion when he completes his probation (reports of poor job performance and ab-senteeism are not subject to criminal penalty).
Despite the embarrass-ment, Duncan is better off than his predecessor Mike Lowe and three of Lowe’s employees who are awaiting trial on multiple counts of felony theft after a lengthy investigation uncovered ev-idence of phantom employ-ees and improper purchas-
es. A grand jury investigated Lowe’s offi ce for more than a year before handing down indictments. The judge who will preside over the case la-beled it extremely complex and set trial dates for mid-2014.
In 2010, Knox County Law Director Bill Lockett resigned from offi ce and pleaded guilty to bilking his former law fi rm out of more than $60,000 in cli-ent fees. He admitted failing to report this money to the Internal Revenue Service and asking former clients for loans which he had not repaid. The state Board of Professional Responsibility suspended his law license in October 2010.
Meanwhile, the Knox-ville law director, Charles Swanson, enjoys a high de-gree of respect and the city’s fi nance director, Jim York, has managed to collect and invest tax money while not only remaining scandal-
free, but receiving state Certifi cates of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting every year since 1986 and the Distinguished Budget Presentation Award every year since 1989.
York (known by city em-ployees as “Dr. No”) runs his department like clock-work. Both Swanson and York are appointed by the city’s mayor.
In 2008, at a time when the popularity of county Mayor Mike “Lobster to go” Ragsdale was lower than the Mariana Trench, voters turned down a proposition to allow the mayor to ap-point the trustee, county clerk, register of deeds and law director.
Opponents of the mea-sure got a boost from the ballot summary, which asked voters if they wanted to “take away from the peo-ple the ability to vote” and was written by Bill Lockett.
Do-over, anybody?
What do you do when you fi nd out your grandmother has cancer?
Lydia Mabe
The swim
and married my grandfather Kenneth Mabe.
When he died in 1988, Ma-maw didn’t miss a beat. She learned to drive. She mowed the yard. She lived by herself for 25 years, watching tele-vision, working crossword puzzles, doing everything but wasting away. Nearly 89 years young, her memory is often better than mine.
She is a night owl, so I’ll call her after 11 p.m. We talk family history, Halls gossip,
catch up on relatives and generally stay away from politics. My grandmother, you see, is an FDR Demo-crat. It’s OK. She saw the New Deal help others fi rst-hand. And she doesn’t much care for Obama.
It’s funny the things you re-member. Singing gospel mu-sic for my grandparents and my late Aunt Mossie. Sunday dinners that would make – dare I say it? – Paula Deen green with envy. Homemade apple butter so good the mem-ory makes my mouth moisten. The sounds of “Guiding Light” wafting into the bedroom in the early afternoon.
Oh, where does the time go?
All this, and heaven too, fl ashed through my mind as I took my swim. I had want-ed to make that journey for more than 20 years, swim-ming from one bank to an-other and back. I did it. Don’t ask me why, but swimming in that blue-green water, for about 30 minutes as the sun set on a Sunday afternoon was like being dipped into magic waters.
As I returned to the cab-in and scratched mosquito bites, wiping the wet away,
I glanced over to the DVDs I had brought for my vacation. With heartbreaking irony, one of them was “The Shoot-ist,” John Wayne’s fi nal fi lm, in which he plays an aging gunfi ghter dying of cancer.
I didn’t have the heart to watch it. But the line I can quote from memory is spo-ken by Jimmy Stewart, when he tells the Duke he’s going to die.
“Every few days I have to tell a man or a woman some-thing I don’t want to. I’ve been practicing medicine for 29 years, and I still don’t know how to do it well.”
And though I’m crowd-ing in on middle age now, I still don’t know how to take it well.
So, I cut my vacation short and came to work. Because that’s what I fi gure someone should do. When hard news hits, hit the plow.
My grandmother may live another two months or an-other 20 years. I don’t know.
But I do know this. I love Lydia Beeler Mabe with all of my heart.
And I’m glad I took that swim. Visit Jake Mabe online at jakemabe.blogspot.com.
MY TWO CENTS

Well, I took a swim. When I heard the news,
I was standing in the front yard of the cabin my great-uncle Ted Mabe built on the banks of Norris Lake in the 1950s. Ironic, given that I had spent happy afternoons of youth there with Lydia (pronounced LIE-dah) Beel-er Mabe.
What a remarkable wom-an is my paternal grand-mother. Forced to leave her Sharps Chapel home when TVA created Norris Lake, she moved to Knox County with her family and attended Gibbs High School. Some-where along the way she met
How much change will $1.2 million buy? And how much more change can Knox County Schools stand?
Yet more change for Knox County Schools
Today Dr. Jim McIntyre will announce a $1.2 mil-lion grant from the Bill and
Melinda Gates Foundation (Monday, July 8, 4 p.m. at the AJ Building). He will ask the school board for a 30 percent match to hire a Boston-based fi rm, The Parthenon Group, to study resource allocation in the school system. “Resource allocation?” you ask.
For those of us who don’t get the big words, McIntyre will simplify: We want to do more of what works, and stop what’s not working.
The contract and sup-porting documents are
on the KCS website. But you’ve gotta drill. A line that jumped out: “To develop a process that continuously re-evaluates the highest and best use of resources.”
Hmmm. Doesn’t sound very pedagogic. Can you make a case for athletics? For band, art or drama?
If your technology is right, can you even make a case for a teacher with 25 kids all day in a classroom?
I don’t know the answers, but I’m starting to fi gure out the questions. Come on
along. This week’s meetings: Monday, 4 p.m., announce-ment of grant; 5 p.m., board workshop; Wednesday, 5 p.m., school board meeting for grant approval.
Meanwhile, principals like Ken Dunlap (Powell), Lynn Hill (Gibbs) and Kathy Dug-gan (Adrian Burnett) have been sent to other schools.
We cannot measure and manage our way to success. Creativity is our strength. Microsoft was not built by bean counters –even Boston baked bean counters.

I recall a day of great excitement when we learned that the en-emy was coming sure enough. … There were but few soldiers about as almost all had been sent to Murfreesboro. Hast-ily, on the summit, where the Catholic church now stands, we made some slight breastworks of a few cotton bales, and brought a small gun, a four or six pounder, there. There were no houses on the summit then. The in-fantry, at “double quick,” hurried through the streets to form a line of battle on “reservoir hill,” out of town then. And thus we waited but a short while, when from the two hills could be seen a small body of the enemy’s caval-ry over the face of the hill where Fifth Avenue is now located, moving among the trees. There were no houses then, but some timber, which partially concealed the troops.
Capt. McClung had charge of the gun on the summit. Soon we saw that the enemy had a gun, which they brought out into an open space and turned upon us. Capt. Mc-Clung replied with good effect. Only a few shots were fired, and the en-emy hurried on at a gal-lop, leaving a dead horse or two. If any of their men were killed or wounded, they carried them away. One of their shots, per-haps the first, passed
between two of our cot-ton bales, and mortally wounded Capt. McClung, to the great grief of all the town. The enemy moved off hurriedly toward Strawberry Plains, and we saw them no more. Their purpose was not to attack the city, but to burn the railroad bridge at the Plains. Their feint was to keep the troops at Knoxville from following them or sending help to the guard at the bridge.
Dr. David Sullins, for-mer minister of Church Street Methodist Church and founder of Sullins College in Southwest Vir-ginia, supplied that vivid description of the day the Civil War came to Knox-ville in his “Recollections of an Old Man (Seventy Years in Dixie, 1827-1897)” (1910).
The Confederates had occupied Knoxville since early in the war but Gen. Simon B. Buckner had weakened his defenses by sending troops to assist in Middle Ten-nessee. Gen. Ambrose Burn-side had been preparing for President Abra-ham Lincoln’s ordered march into East Tennessee, but with Gen. Ulysses S. Grant besieging Vicksburg, the last Confederate strong-point on the Mississippi River, he was ordered to send his 8,000-strong Ninth Corps to assist in
that effort. Then, when Gen. John Hunt Morgan launched his Confederate raid through Kentucky and into Indiana and Ohio, Burnside sent other units to cope with that threat.
Instead of the major effort he had p l a n n e d , Bu r n s ide a u t h o -r i z e d a
cavalry strike into East Tennessee to disrupt the rail line supplying troops and provisions to the battlefields of Virginia through Knoxville. He chose the young, Ken-tucky-born West Point
graduate, Col. William P. Sanders, who had fought bravely at Williamsburg and Antietam. Sanders left Mt. Vernon, Ky. on June 14, 1863, with selected de-tachments of cavalry and a section of Ohio artillery, a total of some 1,500 men.
The wagon train that
was to s up p l y
t h e col-
u m n as far
as possible was sent back when it reached W i l l i a m s -
burg escorted by 200 troopers. Sanders headed toward Loudon with his remaining 1,300 men to destroy the long bridge that spanned the Tennes-see River. He was aided by a diversionary detach-

ment 25 miles to the east of his approach route.
The diversion worked and compelled Buckner to focus attention to the north of Knoxville as Sanders approached from the south. Sanders found the railroad bridge at Loudon too well guarded and rode to Lenoir’s Sta-tion (later Lenoir City), where he quickly burned the depot, captured horses and mules, and destroyed ordnance supplies, the telegraph line and the tracks in the area. That same evening, June 19, he set out for Knoxville, tear-ing up track along the way.
With Buckner’s troops concentrated north of Knoxville near Clinton, Col. R.C. Trigg, who was temporarily in command, called for citizen volun-teers. About 200 “per-sons, citizens and conva-lescent soldiers” reported for duty. Half a dozen smoothbore 6-pounder guns were distributed on the hills just outside town – Summit Hill, McGee’s Hill and Temperance Hill. He deployed the men and the guns on modest rap-idly constructed parapets and behind cotton bales.
At dawn on the 20th, Sanders approached from the north along the Taze-well Road, having left one regiment west of town to skirmish and distract the Confederates. Heavy skirmishing accompa-nied Sanders cautious ap-proach and he stopped his advance when he noticed barricaded streets and stiff resistance.
Among those Confeder-ates at the barricade near the Church of the Immac-ulate Conception on Sum-mit Hill was 38-year-old Capt. Pleasant Miller Mc-Clung, a member of the home guard. He was born to Charles Jr. and Malvina McClung on Aug. 19, 1824, in Knoxville, the great-
grandson of both William Blount, the governor of the Southwest Territory during Tennessee’s pr-estatehood years, and of James White, the founder of Knoxville. At an early age Pleasant was deprived of both of his parents and went to live in Blount Mansion with the family of his uncle, Col. Matt Mc-Clung.
On that fateful June 20, 1863, Capt. Pleasant M. McClung, leading a com-pany of citizen volunteers, saw his men duck for cover at the f lash of the Union guns and cried out, “Don’t be afraid – there’s no dan-ger!” He was instantly hit. As he lay dying, he prayed for “forgiveness for those who killed me.”
Pleasant McClung was survived by his wife, the former Mary A.C. Mc-Clung, whom he had mar-ried on April 15, 1846. They were parents to four daughters: Maria, Eliza, Mary and Sallie. He was interred in Old Gray Cem-etery.
After about an hour and a half, the Knoxville skir-mish ended and Sanders departed for Strawberry Plains, where he burned the 1,600-foot-long bridge and, later, the 300-foot railroad bridge at Mossy Creek (Jefferson City).
After an arduous return march north to Kentucky, Sanders reported to Gen. Burnside. He had traveled 250 miles in 10 days, de-stroyed 50 miles of rail-road track and 3,000 feet of bridges, captured 15 artillery pieces and 2,500 small arms, destroyed a gun factory and captured and paroled 461 Confeder-ates. His casualties were two killed, four wound-ed and 13 missing. He had made Civil War his-tory having, according to Burnside, completed “one of the boldest raids of the war.”

Meridian, Miss., defen-sive back C.J. Hampton vis-ited Tennessee as a prospec-tive recruit and went away with an interesting fi rst im-pression.
Back to what it used to be
“They’re trying to get the program back to what it used to be … they’re trying to bring back the winning tradition.”
And there you have it, a goal so obvious an 18-year-old from another land can grasp it and feel it and won-der how long it will take to get there from here.
It wasn’t so long ago that Tennessee faithful were fret-ting and fussing when Phil-lip Fulmer teams won only nine or 10 a year and almost always went bowling.
Losses to the big boys and no championships for much too long led to seri-ous aggravation or perhaps depression and that led to a decline in popcorn sales and empty seats at Neyland Stadium.
Well, now we know Dr.
Mike Hamilton’s cure was worse than the sickness.
Lane Kiffi n and Derek Dooley. Spare me.
The young visitor was no doubt told that energetic and exciting Butch Jones has charted a remedial course in the correct direc-tion. The uphill trip will be in segments. First, the Volunteers must regain re-spectability.
You do recall Southeast-ern Conference coaches complaining that Tennes-see is a marshmallow on the Alabama schedule, a tasty, toasted treat for each Oc-tober. They said the game is better than an open date
because a victory over the Vols still sounds fairly good to the uninformed and is good for a minor boost in the polls and an easy step toward another national crown.
Indeed, it is embarrass-ing to be anybody’s Akron or Troy, a breather between challenges, a date to relish instead of dread.
Here is the problem no-body mentioned to C.J. Hampton: Assuming teams out front do not shift into neutral and try to coast home, catching them re-quires more, lots more, of the things they already have.
Recruiting better than
Alabama, Georgia, Florida, LSU and Vanderbilt would be a start. Working harder might help. Playing smarter (11 at a time) could be a fac-tor.
On the drawing board, the current Volunteers are several notches short of championship contention. Here it is July and we don’t know who will be the quar-terback. Logic says Justin Worley because he has had his feet wet. That there are other choices sends a differ-ent message.
Oregon may not even care.
Does Tennessee have one dependable receiver? It needs four. Is there a lock-down corner? Can the line-backers run fast enough? At this moment, there are more
questions than answers.I do believe these Volun-
teers have recaptured the spirit of winning football. The labor report is very en-couraging. Jones’ vision for greatness is contagious. I am guessing the team will give what it has, such as it is.
That will be a baby step toward improvement. It gets tougher when you go on the road and line up against men who are also well-coached and believe they are signifi cantly better.
The only neutralizer is to knock hell out of ’em so they begin to wonder.
After that, sometime in the future, it will be possible for Tennessee to take a cou-ple of additional steps back toward the good, old days. (Marvin West invites reader reaction. His address is [email protected]).
Those of us who live in the South might take excep-tion to Jesus’ claim that life is more than food.
We take food seriously in the South. There is a right and wrong way to make iced
Soul foodtea, for example. Iced tea has sugar in it. And South-ern cornbread never, never, ever has sugar in it.
Never. Soul food is aptly named,
and it has nothing to do with the color of one’s skin. Soul food is food with meaning.
That meaning derives from many aspects of cook-ing.
The story lives in legend and song of the woman who, every Easter, cut off the end of the ham before she put in the pot to bake. Her hus-band asked her why, and she replied, “Because that’s how my mother does it.”
So the husband went to the source, and asked his mother-in-law, “Why do you
cut off the end of the Easter ham before you put it in the pot?”
“Because my pot is too small for the ham,” she re-sponded.
Sounds reasonable to me. I like square cornbread.
Even though I have a small, round cast iron skillet that is perfect for cornbread for two, I frequently make it in my square pan. There is a perfectly good reason for that habit. When I was a little girl, my grandfather saw to it that I got the corner piece of the cornbread.
In fact, Papa saw to it that I got the fi rst corner piece.
M-mmm. I can still taste that cornbread. Bread of heaven, indeed! Nanny
never measured anything. She put some baking pow-der into the palm of her hand. The same with salt and soda. No sugar. She said cornbread with sugar in it was “Yankee corn-bread.”
Enough said. End of dis-cussion.
There are recipes in my Mother’s head that I can’t retrieve anymore, because she doesn’t remember. I have searched through her cookbooks, because I know that hidden some-where in there is the rec-ipe for Apple Pudding. (Nanny was the source of that one too!) I can’t find it. And let me tell you, my world is a sadder place
without Apple Pudding!When my husband and
I lived and worked at “The Home,” a residential treat-ment center for teenagers in Gettysburg, we were told never, ever to withhold food from the boys. You can (or maybe you can’t) imagine how much food 13-year-old boys can put away. How-ever, our executive direc-tor said frequently, “Food is love. That is something you learn at your mother’s breast. Don’t deny food to these boys who have known so little love!”
So you see, even with manna in the wilderness, it is not the food, but the love behind it, that makes it soul food.
Then the Lord said to Moses, “I am going to rain bread from heaven for you, and each day the people shall go out and gather enough for that day.
(Exodus 16: 4 NRSV)
Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air; they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heav-enly Father feeds them.
(Matthew 6: 25b-26 NRSV)

Teenager uses talents to
brighten life of child
By Ashley BakerWhen 7-year-old Avery
and her family were asked by Morri Garrett to leave their house and not come back for 24 hours, they rejoiced. Garrett, a recent graduate of Christian Academy of Knox-ville, had a plan.
Garrett, 18, wanted to use her gifts and ability to benefi t others. The Cap-stone Project that CAK re-quires of all students as part of their junior and senior classes provided Garrett the motivation, knowledge and support she needed to reach out to others. She chose to serve children with seri-ous illnesses by raising the money needed to design and refurbish the bedrooms of two children.
The CAK Capstone Proj-ect is designed to help stu-dents fi gure out a little bit about themselves while serving others. Under the supervision of teacher Ja-mie Petrick, students are required to log 40 hours of service and give a presenta-tion about their experience.
Garrett immediately be-gan researching how she could make her 40 hours count.
Garrett’s fi rst researched herself. She took a “spiritual gifts” test designed to target motivation and areas of in-terest. Garrett found that she scored high in both compas-sion and service.
For Garrett, matching these gifts with her talents meant fi nding a project that

for it. As a kid, I would al-ways choose a coloring book over sports or anything.”
With a heart for serving people in need and a gift for art, Garrett stumbled across the perfect organiza-tion to marry the two: Spe-cial Spaces, a nonprofi t that provides dream bedrooms for children battling life-threatening illnesses.
With the help of Special Spaces, Garrett met Avery, who has leukemia. The goal was to provide a happy, ex-citing and nurturing place for healing and recovery.
Garrett spent months fundraising for Avery’s new room. She hosted parties with speakers, music and food, where donors could give to the cause. Garrett also designed an outfi t for a stuffed bear that sold at an auction for $10,000.
With the needed funds in hand, Garrett was then ready to design. “The fi rst thing we did was meet with Avery and ask her what she wanted,” said Garrett. The answer? A pink princess room.
“What made it diffi cult was that we wanted to make everything ourselves, be-cause we wanted to make her room as original as possible.”
Soon a crew of 15 set out to create the pink princess room. Before the day ended, the walls were painted, and the carpet was replaced. Zebra pillows lined the new princess-style bed. Garrett’s crew also installed light fi x-tures and added a desk and a closet organizing system.
In less than 24 hours, the room was transformed. Gar-rett added a personalized gift for Avery. “I painted a 6-feet-by-5 feet canvas of a whimsi-
cal zebra that was very girly,” she said. “The zebra had a skirt and a real feather boa to make the picture 3D.”
The crew also made sure Avery’s new room was ca-pable of handling her medi-cal needs. “With leukemia, she has to check her vitals all the time,” Garrett said. “And she has to bring her medication home.”
When Avery and her family returned, Garrett got to see the fruits of her labor. “Avery was so ex-cited when she saw her room,” Garrett said, smil-ing. “She was screaming and laughing and jumping on her bed.”
Garrett knew the room would have a special mean-ing for the family. For a mo-ment, Avery could forget her pain and rest in a room de-signed for a princess.

Knox County Sheriff ’s Offi ce Chief Deputy Eddie Biggs
Knoxville Mayor Madeline Rogero and Shopper News intern Madeline Lonas Photos by Laura Beeler
By Sara BarrettThe Shopper News in-
terns were sent through security checks at the City/County Building last week before a lighthearted conversation with Knox County Sheriff Jimmy “J.J.” Jones and his “num-ber two” guy, Chief Deputy Eddie Biggs.
Former Trustee John Duncan had walked through the lobby just minutes before to be booked. He pled guilty to offi cial misconduct and resigned while we visited the courthouse.
Afterward, the in-terns headed upstairs for
a meet and greet with Knoxville Mayor Mad-eline Rogero and a quick photo of Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett.
Conversation during lunch at Chesapeake’s took a somber turn when Sonja DuBois told the group about her experiences as a Hidden Child during the Holocaust.
After hiking up to Market Square to see the Women’s Suffrage Memorial, the interns met family law attorney Wanda Sobieski, one of the folks responsible for the monument. It was a good day.
Shopper interns were sur-prised to fi nd out how many inmates local jails can hold.
“We can house anywhere from 1200-1250 inmates a day,” said Chief Deputy Ed-die Biggs. The county’s three jails hold criminals from all 508 square miles of Knox County. In addition to patrol cars, there is also an aviation unit and a marine unit.
Support services from the Sheriff’s offi ce include Life Services (previously the DARE program for students), and Senior Citizens Aware-ness Network (SCAN), which is used to visit and help track Alzheimer’s patients who may get lost.

Knoxville Mayor Mad-eline Rogero had a sit-down chat with the interns after meeting each individually and shaking their hand. Topics ranged from her fi rst campaign standing on the roadside asking for votes to what she does in her spare time.
A special moment Rog-ero shared was when she walked the interns to the large window of her offi ce and explained her vision for the now vacant Baptist Hospital and the rest of the South Knox waterfront.

Madeline to MadelineBy Madeline Lonas
Many people only know Madeline Rogero as the fi rst female mayor of Knoxville, but I got to sit down and have a Madeline-to-Made-line talk with this very well-known local celebrity.
Mayor Rogero isn’t a Knox-ville native. Born in Jack-sonville, Fla., in 1952, her parents, Gerald Rogero, a plumber, and Anita Ghioto, a former nun, moved to Ketter-ing, Ohio. Rogero graduated from Archbishop Alter High School and then attended Temple University, Ohio State University, and graduated from Furman with a degree
re-election and people still talk about it. She served two terms and did not seek re-election.
In 2003, she decided to run against our current governor, Bill Haslam, for the open seat as Knoxville mayor. Haslam won a closer-than-expected election, and Rogero decided not to run the next term cycle. After Haslam resigned in 2011, Rogero decided to give it another try. She defeated Democrat Mark Padgett with 58.6 percent of the vote. Rogero is in the 2nd
year of her fi rst term and is planning to run for a second term.
Although Rogero loves her job, she also likes relaxing and spending time with her family. Her hobbies include kayaking, dancing and playing softball with her husband, kids and grandchildren. She is also a beekeeper, and while there is only one beehive now, she usually collects the honey.
Altogether, Rogero is a wonderful woman who is always ready with a smile.

The Sheriff’s Offi ce has around 1,100 employees and
Interns also learned about the new “urban wilderness” comprised of 1,000 acres of forest that include the South Loop and the Battlefi eld Loop.
Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett posed for a quick picture with a few of the in-terns after holding a press conference regarding the purchase of property by Hillcrest Healthcare.
“We were not able to ask him questions, but he did offer us some cold sodas and we accepted,” said intern Paul Brooks.
in political science.In 1980, Rogero moved to
Knoxville where she attend-ed the UT Graduate School of Planning and received her master’s degree.
After living in Knoxville for 10 years, she ran for the 2nd District County Com-mission seat against a 24-year incumbent, Jesse Ca-wood. Knoxville wanted a fresh mind with fresh ideas, and Rogero won an upset.
She introduced a new way of campaigning, which is now called human bill-boarding. Rogero and her volunteers (including her kids and her mom) stood on Broadway at Cecil Avenue each morning for a week, wearing campaign T-shirts and waving at motorists as they drove to work. “It grew each day and fi nally we even had a clown,” Rogero said.

last year alone, more than 600,000 miles were driven on patrol. One intern asked if that was one car. “No,” said Biggs. It was the entire fl eet.
After wrapping up with Biggs, the interns (liter-ally) ran into Sheriff Jimmy “J.J.” Jones in the hallway. The sheriff told the group he plans to run for offi ce again in 2014. Jones said at the end of his next term as sheriff, he will have served in law en-forcement for 38 years. “And that’s long enough for one person to serve in any job,” he said.
He invited the interns to join him in Panama City, Fla., for a round of golf in 2019. Several made a note.

By Mitchell Zavadil“It is my wish to tell
students from middle school and up that the holocaust did happen, and it was awful,” said Sonja DuBois, a holocaust survivor who met our group for lunch at Chesapeake’s.
DuBois was born in the Netherlands. Her country was invaded May 5, 1940, and her city was bombed for three straight days, leaving nothing standing. She told us how records had to be kept on all Jews, and at the end of 1940 it was rare for Jewish people to have jobs.
In a policy known as The Final Solution, Hitler’s military was told to annihilate all Jewish
people.DuBois’ parents sent her
to live with a close family friend, and in August of 1942 he found a husband and wife who had secretly offered to care for a Jewish child in need. This is when DuBois became a Hidden Child. No one knew DuBois’ real name or birthday. A local doctor broke the law by examining her and estimated her age to be about two years old.
“We would celebrate my birthday every August, since that’s when my life started with them,” said DuBois.
Most of DuBois’ family were killed in concentration camps. She said her prayer

Lunch with Sonja DuBois
Along with being known as an attorney of family law, Wanda Sobieski is extremely knowledgeable of women’s history and the suffrage movement.
Sobieski told the Shopper interns about a time in America when women not
only didn’t have a say in their country’s future, but they didn’t even have a say in their own children’s futures. “Your husband could literally give your children away without your input,” said Sobieski. “And often, they did.”
was for the prisoners in the camps to be given mercy and a quick death.
She explained how Jewish people were not allowed to own technology
such as a radio, but how the lack of communication may have helped her by not allowing the Nazis to track her whereabouts.
Also, her “foster family”
made sure she got food at least once a day.
Upon immigrating to the United States at the age of 12 with her foster parents, she had to sign her passport and it was in that moment that her parents told her Clara was her real name, and that she was not to ask questions about what happened.
Fast forward to the 1970s when she received a copy of a newspaper from Rotterdam. The friend of her birth parents who had given her to her foster parents was interviewed with the hope that DuBois would see the article and let him know if she was a “successful save.” DuBois then traveled to Europe to meet this man who helped her birth parents save her life.
DuBois also reconnected with a cousin around 2000 who told her a few more things about her birth parents. She was fi nally able to obtain a still photo of them from a fi lm her cousin had of a wedding taped in Holland before the war.
“I’ll never know my mother’s favorite color, or her hobbies,” said DuBois, tearing up at the thought. Many of the Shopper interns (and staff in attendance) cried with her.
DuBois’ words of advice to the group were to not be indifferent. “Be very aware,” she said. “One person can’t do it all, but we can all do something.”
If you’d like Sonja DuBois to speak to your group, she can be reached by emailing [email protected].

The fi rst rendering of a statue honoring Febb Burn and her son, Harry Burn
Family law attorney Wanda Sobieski stands next to a rendering of the Women’s Suff rage Memorial. She led fundraising in excess of $400,000 to have the statue made and installed.
Women’s history with Wanda SobieskiThe movement for
women’s suffrage formally started with the Seneca Falls Convention in New York July 19-20, 1848. Leaders were Lucretia Mott, a Quaker, and Elizabeth Cady Stanton.
Sobieski shared stories of women being imprisoned for fi ghting for the change.
“A lot of women gave their entire effort and fortune so you can vote,” Sobieski told the females in the group. Use the opportunity wisely.”
After rallying for 72 years, the U.S. Constitution was amended thanks to Tennessean Harry Burn, a member of the state’s general assembly. His mother, Febb, wrote him at the last minute and said he should “be a good boy” and vote for the amendment to pass. He took his mother’s advice, knowing at age 24 he would never do anything so important during the balance of his life.
Sobieski fundraised for 11 years before reaching the goal of $375,000 for a statue that currently stands in Market Square in memory of the women who helped change history. Another $60,000 was raised for its upkeep and maintenance.
A second statue is being planned to honor Febb and Harry Burn. It will be erected in Krutch Park.
Sobieski said to use the work of those who fought for women’s suffrage as an example. “If something’s worth doing, you have to keep after it.”

Monthly energy costs are an impor-tant consideration for homeowners selecting new appliances, and as always, Knoxville’s Modern Supply has taken the lead in looking out for the best interests of its customers.
In a home energy audit, you might not be surprised to note that heating and air conditioning units lead the list for energy con-sumption. The water heater comes in a close second, accounting for 14 to 25 percent of the total energy consumed in your home.
The experts at Mod-ern Supply tell us that the energy effi ciency of a water heater is mea-sured in the percentage of energy that actually goes into heating the water, as compared to the energy wasted in the heating process.
The most common water heater, called a conventional unit, is typically a glass-lined tank-type product in sizes rang-ing from 30 to 120 gallons and is powered by electricity, natural gas or propane.
A conventional tank-type water heater can operate at anywhere from 75 to 80 percent effi ciency, depending on the energy source. In other words, 75 to 80 cents of your heating dollar goes into heating the water, and as much as 25 cents is lost.

Located just up the road in Johnson City, this leading man-ufacturer spits out thousands of water heaters each day, while keepin’ the heaters energy effi-cient and at a low price. They’ve been in business since 1915 and are top notch at workin’ fast and efficient to answer any questions or service needs.
With over 1,000 employees, they’re keepin’ jobs in East Ten-nessee. American Water Heater works hard to crank out electric, gas, hybrid, tankless, high-effi-ciency and solar water heaters to our homes anywhere in the U.S. in just a few days’ time.

ply’s partner, American Water Heater Company, are introducing technologies like hybrid or solar water heaters with increased energy effi ciencies and better performance than ever before.

thermal effi ciency, which means that almost all of the money spent is going toward heating the water.
Choosing an energy effi cient water heater for your home and regularly maintaining it can help reduce your energy costs. And right now, homeowners can save serious money on top of that with federal and local incentives. The Polaris, like many American products, qualifi es for a federal tax credit of up to $300.

Here come the ’pads, ’pods and ’prosPrincipals, teachers get technology training
By Betsy PickleWhen Tim Berry took over as
principal of South-Doyle High School two years ago, he knew the school didn’t have the best reputa-tion in the county. He’d heard the test scores weren’t great and that apathy and discipline were issues.
But once the students walked through the doors and he started getting to know them, Berry felt that the bad publicity was unde-served.
“A lot of the things that I’d heard about the school just weren’t true,” he says. “I had a lot of kids who just wanted somebody to believe in them.”
Berry and his leadership team made that a priority, and then they began working on getting the students to believe in themselves. Earning a spot as one of 11 Knox County schools to participate in the 1:1 Technology Challenge was a major part of that.
“Just to see the kids and the pride they had was pretty cool,” says Berry. “They didn’t know what we won; they just knew we had won. I thought that was a unique perspective.
“I sat back and really learned a little bit about our school that day, that they felt like they’d been pushed down for so long, and to win something that maybe some other prominent schools hadn’t gotten” was a thrill.
Each one of South-Doyle’s 1,200-plus students will receive a MacBook Pro this fall as part of the 1:1 Technology Challenge. Ber-ry is confi dent that the kids will adapt easily because today’s tech-nology is second nature to them.
When the students were polled about how they used technology, “I learned that more kids listen to me when I tweet than they do when I read the morning an-nouncements,” Berry says.
Taking a break from his own training with the new laptop at the Sarah Simpson Professional Develop-ment Center, Berry makes it clear that he’s a fan of his students and faculty. He talks about the theme – “Reveal Your Greatness” or #ryg – that the school adopted last year
to combat the second-banana mindset that had arisen over the past several years.
Berry’s own high-school expe-rience was one of winning, albeit more in athletics than in academ-ics. The Loudon County native was an All-State basketball play-er; his sister and father were both All Americans. Berry is the fi rst to admit he was a long shot to be-come an educator, much less work
in administration.“I wasn’t a bad
student, and I wasn’t a great student,” says
Berry, who spent 21 years as a teacher and
administrator in Loudon County before diving into Knox County’s school system two years ago. “I just did what I needed to do to get my grades.”
After a year at Hiwassee Col-
lege, where he played basketball, he went to UT and studied busi-ness, but he “hated the classes.” His advisor, the late Bill Butefi sh, asked him what he did like – “sci-ence, chemistry and biology.”
“We just started talking about things that you could do with that,” says Berry. “He said, ‘I think you’d make a great teacher.’ So I got into the program. I did some fi eld expe-riences, and I fell in love with it.”
He was a little more hesitant about going after his advanced de-grees in education and becoming an administrator.
“I liked the idea of making de-cisions beyond the four walls of the classroom and felt like I could make a difference where I was at the time,” he says. “But I had to be convinced that you could make a difference because I felt like the closer you were to kids, the more positive impact you could have.”
After losing out on the school superintendent’s position in Loud-on County, Berry decided it was time to look farther afi eld.
“I had been keeping track of Dr. Jim McIntyre and the progress he was making in Knox County, and I was looking to work for someone who was a visionary and had great leadership,” he says.
Berry talked to some Knox County administrators he knew, and he began interviewing for an opening at one high school, but he ended up with the South-Doyle as-signment.
“When I decided to leave Loud-on County, I prayed that God would put me where I was need-ed,” says Berry. “And from day one, I knew that he wanted me at South-Doyle.
“Every single day that I’m there, I’m r eminded why I’m at South-Doyle.”

By Pam FanslerFirst Tennessee Bank is
proud to support the Vol for Life program of-fered by the Universit y of Tennes-see Athlet-ics Depart-ment. Quite a few First
Tennessee staff members volunteer their services for training sessions in budget-ing and fi nancial literacy, skills students need not only during their time on cam-pus but for the rest of their lives.
While these fi nancial skills are important, the program covers much more. It’s a complete character building program.
The Vol for Life program is a four-year comprehen-sive player support program intended to help student athletes make good deci-sions and understand the consequences that come with poor decisions. The four-year VFL curriculum focuses on the often-over-looked personal growth of the student athlete. It’s an acknowledgment that sports is not life; it’s a part of life.
The program includes life skills training for play-ers such as dealing with credit cards and check-ing accounts and handling themselves in formal social situations. It also includes career development topics
such as networking, inter-viewing skills and job place-ment. Participants are en-couraged in their spiritual growth and advised about community service oppor-tunities. Topics range from the dangers of promiscuity and alcohol and drug abuse to anger management. The program also includes training in mental condi-tioning, personal branding and navigating the social media landscape, issues crucial in the 21st century.
The ultimate goal of the VFL program is to produce not only great players and teams, but men and women who try to do the right thing on and off the fi eld – while in college and throughout a lifetime. It’s easy to focus on sensational stories about a few athletes behaving badly. This program focuses on the positives and helps create success stories.
The college years can be a tumultuous time for many, but few college stu-dents have the unique pres-sures and opportunities as student athletes who often enter this highly vis-ible arena without the skills needed to succeed in it and afterwards. The VFL pro-gram gives those students a much -needed helping hand.
The Vol for Life program provides essential training in character building and life skills that will have an impact long after the strains of “Rocky Top” fade away.Pam Fansler is president of First Tennes-

By Sherry WittThe first five months of
2013 have shown a s t r e n g t h -ening real estate mar-ket in Knox C o u n t y , and June has con-tinued the trend. For
the month ending June 28, there were 1,039 property transfers recorded in Knox County. That was 100 more sales than were processed in May, and over 200 more than those from last June.
The $196 million worth of land sold during the month was slightly below May’s figure of $212 mil-lion; however, the May totals were somewhat in-flated by the sale of the Riverview Tower down-town. Last June saw $170.6 million worth of property transferred in the county.
The mortgage lending data were strong as well, although off from May’s total by about $12 million. Some $324 million was loaned against real estate in Knox County during June, compared to about $336 million in May. Both figures well outpaced last June when $278 million was loaned in mortgages and refinances.
While there were no particularly notable com-mercial transactions in June, the largest sale of the month was for a 54-acre tract of land off Shirecliff Lane in west Knox County. The property sold for just over $2.5 million.
On the mortgage lending side, the largest loan re-corded was for $11 million by Pinnacle Bank to Pleas-ant Baine Properties for fi nancing of three separate developments on Washing-ton Pike, Asheville High-way and McBrid e Lane.

NEWS FROM PAIDEIA ACADEMY OF KNOXVILLE
Paideia Academy at a glanceBy Headmaster
James A. Cowart
Finding the right educa-tional experience for your child
is one of the most impor-tant decisions that parents face. Our mis-sion at Paideia Academy is to assist Chris-tian parents in bringing up their children
in the “paideia” (training and admonition) of the Lord by utilizing a classical Christian education.
What is classicalChristian education?
According to the Associa-tion of Classical & Christian Schools (ACCS), classical Christian education is simply “a historic, biblical education.” Paideia Academy is one of the association’s 280 members and part of a quickly grow-ing nationwide movement in education. These schools are marked by their use of time-proven content and methods, age-appropriate learning, an integrated Christian world-view, academically challenging coursework, and a nurturing community.
Time-proven contentand methods
Paideia Academy uses clas-sical curriculum and methods to equip students with the ability to think and learn for themselves. Students are guided through three stages of learning – the grammar stage, focused on imparting core knowledge; the logic stage, focused on the analysis and understanding of previously learned facts and � gures; and the rhetoric stage, focused on the eloquence and wisdom of expression.
Age-appropriate learningEach learning stage cor-
responds with the students’ natural development. Young children enjoy memorizing facts, particularly through the use of chants, songs, and rhythmic verse. Early adoles-cents are argumentative and increasingly able to draw con-clusions. Maturing students transitioning into adulthood become more conscious of how others perceive them, desiring to communicate more effectively and to apply the knowledge and understanding they have gained. We seek to recognize this natural progres-sion and employ methods that teach with the grain.
Integrated Christian worldview
Education shapes children’s hearts, not just their minds. Paideia Academy is a place where Christian students can receive challenging, compre-hensive academics built on a foundation of biblical truth. All subjects at Paideia Acad-emy are taught as part of an integrated whole, with Christ and the Scriptures at the center. We don’t view the Bible as another subject; rather, it is the lens through which all subjects are viewed. Biblical standards are applied in all areas of school life as students are taught to love the Lord and serve one another.
Academically challenging coursework
In grades Pre-K through sixth, the focus is on core knowledge. In addition to reading, writing, math, sci-ence, history, and language arts, students also study
Latin and participate in � ne arts classes. Seventh through twelfth grade students embark on a “great books” curriculum covering history, theology, and literature in a single compre-hensive study. Their classes also include college-prepara-tory math and science courses, logic, rhetoric, apologetics, Latin, and biblical Greek. Paideia Academy sets high expectations for student learn-ing. Average students quickly rise to the standard and enjoy the sense of achievement that comes from mastering a dif-� cult goal.
Nurturing CommunityA child’s school community
plays an essential role in forming his or her core values. Paideia Academy students have the blessing of growing up in a nurturing and challenging environment where they will establish lifelong relationships and friends. Parents and teachers share a commitment
to equip children to love learning and grow in godliness. Small class sizes, dedicated teachers, and engaged families ensure quality instruction, personal attention, and Christian mentoring.
Homeschool Umbrella Program
Paideia Academy also offers an umbrella program to partner with homeschoolers who utilize a classical Christian approach. The school provides
planning and support resources to parents. Homeschool umbrella students have access to Paideia’s classes, � eld trips, athletics, and activities.

Parkwest Imaging offers patients ACR-recognized ‘Gold Standard’ servicesImaging Department features experienced staff with advanced clinical registries and top-of-the-line diagnostic equipment
If you are like most people, at some point in your life you may experience symptoms of an unde-termined medical problem or have a health issue at which your doctor wants a closer look. Depending on your individual needs, your doctor may order an X-ray, an MRI, a CT scan, an ultrasound, mammogra-phy, nuclear medicine or interven-tional radiology. In this situation, it’s important to know the signifi cance of The American College of Radiol-ogy (ACR) accreditation and the role it should play in helping you choose an imaging facility.
The ACR is the nation’s leading imaging accrediting body and larg-est organization of radiologists; therefore, the ACR accreditation is recognized as the gold standard for excellent radiology services. Facili-ties that have earned the ACR gold seal have gone through a rigorous review process to ensure that they meet ACR’s high standards of care, including qualifi ed, highly-trained
The acronyms of radiology: A primer for Parkwest Imaging Services
There are several types of diagnostic scans, and each is used for different pur-poses. Here’s an overview of how different services are commonly used.
■ CT (Computed Tomography)A CT (or CAT) scan combines the pow-
er of X-ray technology and computerized imagery to take layered pictures of hard and soft tissues, including organs and bones. CTs typically take just minutes to complete, and in emergency cases, they can reveal internal injuries and bleed-ing quickly enough to help save lives. CT imaging is sometimes compared to look-ing into a loaf of bread by cutting the loaf into thin slices. When the image slices are reassembled by computer software, the result is a very detailed multidimen-sional view of the body’s interior. Ap-proximately 2,300 scans are performed monthly at Parkwest by technologists who are ARRT registered with advanced registry. Parkwest has three scanners: two GE 16-slice Lightspeed scanners and a GE 64-slice VCT (Volume Computed Tomography).
■ Diagnostic Imaging (X-Ray)X-rays are a form of electromagnetic
radiation. In the hospital setting, X-rays are emitted by a machine as individual particles that pass through the body and are interpreted by a computer to display the images. Solid structures such as bones appear white, areas that contain air (such as lungs) appear black and soft tissues appear as shades of gray. All technolo-gists are ARRT registered, and radiation protection and minimization of patient exposure is always considered for patient safety.
■ MRI (Magnetic Resonance Im-aging)
MRI uses powerful magnets and ra-dio waves to non-invasively produce de-tailed images of the body. MRI is capable of showing very fi ne detail in tissue and organs. Unlike conventional radiography and CT, no radiation is used. Parkwest MRI has also added a new software tool called Inhance, which provides the abil-ity to image renal arteries without the use of contrast. All technologists are ARRT registered with advanced registry. MRI at Parkwest is an American College of Radiology Accredited (ACR) facility and
features a GE 3-tesla magnet and a GE 1.5 tesla magnet.
■ Nuclear MedicineNuclear Medicine is an exam that re-
quires an IV line through which a radio-active isotope is injected into the body. The patient lies on a table under a camera which specializes in the imaging of the organs metabolic functions. Unlike other areas of radiology nuclear medicine as-sesses how an organ functions instead of the anatomy of the organ. Parkwest Nu-clear Medicine has also added a new test for Parkinson’s disease called DaTscan. Parkwest is the only hospital in the Knox-ville area to offer this exam. Four cam-eras are available for patient exams at Parkwest. All technologists are NMTCB certifi ed.
■ Special Procedures (Interven-tional Radiology)
Parkwest Imaging Services offers a full spectrum of diagnostic and interventional procedures, including, but not limited to: angioplasty/stent placement; central ve-nous access (Permacath, Portacath); uter-ine fi broid embolization; TIPS (shunting of liver vessels); and vertebroplasty. All technologists are ARRT registered with advanced registries and RNs are ACLS certifi ed.
■ UltrasoundUltrasound uses ultra high-frequen-
cy sound waves which are reflected off of the body organs, vessels and other structures to produce images. Unlike other areas of radiology, no radiation is used in Ultrasound imaging. A water-based gel is placed on the patient’s skin over the area of interest to help conduct the sound waves. The technologist then scans with a probe called the transduc-er, which emits sound waves and listens for the “echo” as the sound is either ab-sorbed or bounces off anatomic struc-tures. Parkwest has ultrasound Scan Assist technology, which increases effi-ciency, ensures quality and standardiz-es protocols. All Parkwest sonographers are RDMS (Registered Diagnotic Medi-cal Sonographers.)
Now a ‘picture of health’ Local woman credits Parkwest imaging scan
for revealing important diagnosisOne might call Kathy Evans of Oak
Ridge a “frequent fl yer” in Parkwest’s Imaging Services de-partment. Since 2011, she’s been seen three times by technologists who specialize in nu-clear medicine and ul-trasounds to make sure her kidneys and ureter stay healthy and func-tion properly. Today she is grateful to have made a full recovery and is a
“picture of health,” thanks to the care and treatment she received at Parkwest. However, the anxiety and fear she felt at the beginning of her journey remain in her mind.
In June 2011, Evans became very ill. Doctors concluded that her symptoms were caused by an ovarian tumor push-ing against her ureter, the muscular tubes that connect the kidneys to the bladder. Doctors immediately scheduled surgery at Parkwest to remove the large, but benign, tumor. Parkwest urologist Dr. Walter Chiles, implanted a stent to reopen the ureter, which had collapsed because of pressure applied by the tu-mor. Evans was sent home to recover, thinking that the worst was over.
Within two months, she once again began experiencing symptoms. Her doc-tor determined that, although the tumor and the fi rst stent were removed suc-cessfully, her kidneys were not function-ing at full capacity. In fact, for a while, one of Evans’ kidneys functioned at only 20 percent.
“Finding out such an important part of your body isn’t working is terrifying,” confi ded Evans. Imaging Services at Parkwest performed further tests in or-der for the doctor to determine the prob-lem and best course of action.
Evans underwent a dual screening, consisting of an ultrasound and a MAG-3 nuclear medicine scan, to allow doc-tors to view her kidneys. The ultrasound uses ultra-high-frequency sound waves, which refl ect off the kidneys to produce images. The MAG-3 scan is a diagnostic procedure that allows a radiologist to examine the kidneys and how they func-
tion in greater detail. Before undergoing the scan, a radioisotope solution was ad-ministered to Evans intravenously. The kidneys excrete the compound and its progress is tracked by a gamma camera. During the test, technologists adminis-tered a diuretic medication called Lasix in order to study how effectively Evans’s kidneys were fl ushing.
“I was so anxious laying there when testing began,” said Evans. “But the tech-nologists were so good about keeping me informed about what was going on. If I asked to see the screen, they would turn it around so I could view it. If I had ques-tions, they would answer them. I felt that they were going out of their way to take care of my needs and make me as com-fortable as possible because they under-stood how nervous I was. It really made a difference.”
The scan concluded that Evans’ ure-ter had collapsed once again after the removal of her first stent. She needed a second surgery to insert yet another stent into her ureter in order to im-prove kidney function. The surgery was performed at Parkwest in Septem-ber 2011.
“As always, I received excellent post-operative care and felt the nurses were friendly and very attentive. They frequently checked on me after I was transported to my room. That is one of the best things about Parkwest. You are never neglected, no matter how busy the staff is,” said Evans.
It wasn’t long before the second stent was removed and Evans was back in Im-aging Services to receive another ultra-sound and MAG-3 scan. The screenings revealed that both kidneys and ureter were healthy.
Just a few weeks ago, Evans returned to Imaging Services to undergo one fi nal ultrasound and MAG-3 screening. She was relieved when the results showed no abnormalities.
“I’m happy I chose Parkwest for my imaging and surgery needs,” Evans said. “These tests and procedures ease your mind when you are confi dent in your doctors’ abilities and you’re surrounded by a kind and caring staff from diagno-sis to discharge.”
All Parkwest advanced modality radiologic technologists have advanced registries for their specialty area. (L to R) Keri McCarter, CT Tech; Jessica Bustos, Team Leader CT Tech; and Jamie Nance, Imaging Services Manager
personnel and advanced equipment. Every aspect of the accreditation is overseen by board-certifi ed, expert radiologists and medical physicists in advanced diagnostic imaging.
“Parkwest Imaging De-partment is accredited by the ACR. All modali-ties (types of imag-ing equipment) and processes in the department meet the stringent qual-ity measures of the ACR,” said Ja-son Raiford-Davis, MPH, CHES, ACR, and administrative man-ager of Radiology at Park-west. “The main reason we sought ACR accreditation is quality. The ACR gives peer-reviewed, educa-tion-focused validation of the top ra-diology practices. Most importantly, it instills patient confi dence that they are receiving the best possible images and care.”
Raiford-Davis is also quick to point out that all Parkwest advanced modality radiologic technologists (Interventional Radiology, CT, Nu-clear Medicine, Ultrasound, MRI
and Mammography) have advanced registries for
their specialty area. To obtain this advanced
registry, the em-ployees must dem-onstrate their skill in the specialty, complete a specifi c list of clinical pro-
cedures, prove their competency through a
registry exam and main-tain continuing education re-
quirements.“We’re committed to provid-
ing the highest quality images and care to every patient,” said Raiford-Davis. “And we hope that our em-ployees’ advanced registries and our ACR accreditation reaffi rm that commitment.”

Little Kennedi of Norris enjoys a thrilling wet ride!
Old-fashioned Fourth of July fun This year’s Norris Day
celebration in the town of Norris was a big success, and full of the kind of fun you’d expect to fi nd in a sim-pler, older America.
There were rubber duck races (winners got a wa-termelon), a Slip ‘n’ Slide, a quilt show, face painting, ice cream and bake sales. Many of the attractions benefi tted local charities, including the Lions Club. Kids whizzed by on scooters and bikes, and the grown-ups visited and enjoyed a relaxing holiday time.

Sometimes a Wildcat and a Blue Devil
can drive toward the same goalRichard Eubanks of Knoxville, 50, a die-
hard Duke basketball fan, was diagnosed with prostate cancer in the spring of 2012, after routine screening by urologist Dr. Kevin Art of Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center.
At the time, however, Eubanks didn’t realize that Art was a devoted University of Kentucky fan.
“When I saw he had a UK pin on his lapel, I said, ‘I’m not sure this is going to work,’ ” said Eubanks with a laugh. “Ever since then, we always talk basketball.”
After the diagnosis of cancer – prostate cancer is the most common type of cancer in men – the two men set aside any basketball differences to fi nd a slam-dunk treatment.
Since Eubanks was only 49 years old, on the young side for prostate cancer, Art fi rst recommended surgery to remove the gland. However, since it was at such an early stage and slow growing, Art pointed out that there was no need to rush.
“My fi rst instinct was ‘Cancer, get it out, I don’t want to take any chances,’ ” said Eubanks. “But Dr. Art said there was no rush; it was likely to be slow growing and early. He explained all of my options, but he put no pressure on me to have the surgery. He said the second option would be radiation treatment, and he recommended I get other opinions.”
Eubanks did receive a second opinion from a radiologist, who also recommended surgery. “That made me feel reassured,” said Eubanks.
But still, Eubanks decided to wait for a few months before the surgery, to enjoy a summer motorcycle trip to Utah with his father and another trip with his wife to Hawaii. All the while, Eubanks had extra blood tests to check the cancer, which remained unchanged over the summer.
Finally in November 2012, Eubanks had
Robotic surgery at Fort SandersOriginally developed by the
military for use in tele-surgery, robotic surgery has become the gold standard for prostate removal surgery today.
Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center acquired the first robotic da Vinci Surgical System in the Knoxville area in 2004. It has become very popular among physicians with 90 to 95 percent of all prostate surgeries, and many other abdominal
procedures as well, being done by the robot.
“The robotic system allows us to perform a less invasive procedure, compared to traditional open surgery,” explained Dr. Kevin Art, a board certified urologist at Fort Sanders. “The robot has replaced open surgery in most cases, although in some patients the robot may not be possible due to prior surgeries.”
Using a computer console, the
physician controls each movement of robotic “hands,” which hold surgical tools. Because it’s a robot, the hands can move more smoothly and precisely than any human hand is able.
This allows for surgery with only a few small incisions. While not every patient is a candidate for surgery, those who are experience shorter hospital times and fewer complications with robotic surgery than traditional open surgery.
“This means that over 90 percent, of patients go home the very next day,” said Art. “It’s important when choosing robotic surgery to go somewhere that has experience. Fort Sanders was the first hospital in the Knoxville area to get the da Vinci System, so we are well experienced in it, and we believe our care reflects that.”

Prostate screeningProstate cancer screening guidelines are constantly changing, so it’s best to talk to your physician
about your own risk for the disease and how best to detect it. The standard prostate cancer screenings are as follows:
■ PSA (prostate-specifi c antigen) test – This blood screening detects protein in the blood made by the prostate gland. An elevated level may indicate cancer; however, it is not completely ac-curate. Some men with normal PSA levels may have cancer, and sometimes men with high PSA levels do not have cancer.
■ Digital Rectal Exam – Using a gloved fi nger, the health care provider inserts it into the
rectum, to feel for any enlarged, hard, lumpy orabnormal areas of the prostate, which is located next to the rectum.
■ Prostate Biopsy – Using a thin needleand local anesthesia, a small sample of cells is ex-tracted from the prostate gland. The cells are thenexamined under a microscope to determine ifthey are cancerous. A biopsy is performed if other screening tests are positive.
Prostate cancer by the numbers, according to the Centers for Disease Control
Prostate cancer is the leading type of cancer diagnosed in men, and the second leading type of cancer death in men.
While prostate cancer is far more prevalent in men than lung cancer, lung cancer causes far more deaths each year.
In 2009, the most recent numbers available, 206,640 men in the United States were diag-nosed with prostate cancer, and 28,088 men
in the United States died from prostate cancer.On average, 1 out of every 6 men will be diag-
nosed with prostate cancer during his lifetime.Prostate cancer occurs mainly in older men.
The average age of diagnosis is 67 years old. African-American men are at a greater risk
for getting prostate cancer than white men. You’re especially at risk if your relatives are from sub-Saharan Africa.
Richard Eubanks with his wife, Joana
surgery by Art to remove his prostate gland.Art used the da Vinci Surgical System at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center. Thefi rst of its kind in Knoxville, the da Vinci isa state-of-the-art robotic surgery systemthat allows removal of the prostate with only a few small cuts. This in turn meansless blood, less post-operative pain and ashorter hospital stay.
“Dr. Art explained everything to me,” said Eubanks. “And as usual, he was very detailed.Along with my Christian faith, prayer andDr. Art’s confi dence and our informativediscussions, I was to the point of not beingtoo worried about the actual surgery. I wasmore worried about telling my family of mydiagnosis and needing surgery.”
The robotic surgery went smoothly, andEubanks was home within two days. “My care at Fort Sanders was very good; I hadno problems,” he said. “The nurses were allvery friendly. You could ask them questionsand they were very attentive.
“I had almost no pain. I did not even take any pain medications,” said Eubanks.
Within three months, Eubanks was backto normal, doing sit-ups, lifting weights andplaying tennis. When the weather warmed,he was back on his motorcycle as well.
“It has now been almost nine monthssince the surgery and I do everything now that I did before, maybe more becauseI seem to want to make up for the threemonths lost during recovery,” said Eubanks.
“I attribute my great outcome to my age,my health before the surgery and especially Dr. Art and the da Vinci robot at Fort Sanders. My only issue with Dr. Art is that he is a Kentucky basketball fan,” Eubankssaid with a laugh.
“I recommend all men begin havingprostate cancer screening. I did, and it mayhave saved my life.”
