Bringing hope to the homeless

By Cindy TaylorThe Knoxville community gath-

ered at Beaver Creek Cumberland Presbyterian Church on Sept. 27 to support Lost Sheep Ministries, an or-ganization that assists the homeless with medical care and weekly meals.

The event included dinner and a silent auction and featured guest speaker Barbara Dooley. Dooley is the wife of legendary former Geor-gia football coach Vince Dooley, mother of Tennessee coach Derek Dooley and entertainer extraordi-naire. Her comedic quips began be-fore she ever hit the stage.

“Have you ever told Maxine no?”

Musician/singer Sarah Holloway inspired the audience

with her rendition of “His Eye is on the Sparrow” during

the banquet.

ine Raines at the fundraiser. Photos by C. Taylor

replied Dooley when asked why she agreed to be the guest speaker. “When I agreed to do this, it was months ago and I thought Geor-gia was playing in Knoxville. Now I have to turn around and go home. But I’m all orange now.”

Executive director Maxine Raines, who founded the grassroots ministry 22 years ago, spent nine years on the street when she was a

kid. Raines said seeing the home-less on a visit to Washington, D.C., as an adult pulled at her heart.

“After that trip God led me to start this ministry,” said Raines. “Realizing that help is needed is how any ministry begins. I am giv-

ing back because of what people did for me when I was homeless.”

The “Under the Bridge” ministry began in 1993. Since that time there has not been a single Wednesday that the homeless in Knoxville could not fi nd hot food, clothing and a Christ-inspired message. Hot meals are also served during Thanksgiv-ing and Christmas and on many Saturdays. More than 1,200 peo-ple receive these meals each week thanks to monetary donations and the generosity of volunteers.

“My message tonight is going to have to be about love and faith, because that’s what it’s all about,” said Dooley.

True to her word, Dooley closed out the time singing Stevie Won-der’s “I Just Called to Say I Love You” as she cruised the room.

Bob Bell was master of ceremo-nies for the event, Sarah Holloway lent her voice in song and Bo Shafer argued the plea for funding.

Roughly 500 plus guests donated more than $70,000.

The meals are only a small por-tion of a ministry that has more than 2,000 volunteers. Raines is planning a three-month sabbatical to pen her story, with any proceeds going to the ministry.

Art show is labor of love for Mullins

Carolyn Mullins says the two-year project of readying the works of the late Knox-ville artist Ted Burnett for an art show and sale has been a labor of love.

Mullins says she and her husband, Bill, were among Burnett’s “groupies” at his bohemian art gallery, the Art Mart on Fifth Avenue, in the mid-1960s.

By Betty BeanThe public is in-

vited to the grand reopening of Knox County CAC’s Mo-bile Meals kitchen, set for 2:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 1, at 1747 Reynolds St. (just off Western Avenue). The em-ployees and volun-teers responsible for getting 1,800 meals out to homebound seniors fi ve days a week couldn’t be happier.

The kitchen went out of commission in July 2011 when a tornado damaged the roof, causing it to collapse a few days later while employees were working in the building. CAC has been wrangling over money with FEMA and the insur-ance company since then, but Mobile Meals program manager Alison Taylor says County Mayor Tim Burchett was quick to step up and provide the money needed to keep the program run-ning until a settlement is reached (at which time CAC will repay the county).

“We are so grateful that the county has backstopped

Mobile Meals is back in the kitchen Taylor says she doesn’t go home until everyone is ac-counted for.

“We found somebody de-ceased last week, and more often we fi nd someone who fell and can’t get up. In the summer, we check for signs of heat stroke, and if the vol-unteers fi nd a single client who doesn’t have a fan, they let us know.”

Taylor says the program welcomes new volunteers for tasks like delivering meals all over Knox County from 9:30 a.m.-1 p.m. Monday through Friday, assisting in the offi ce or delivering meals 10:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. to groups of clients in lunch-room settings Info: 524-2786 and ask for Mobile Meals or

us fi nancially while we work with those agencies,” she said. “And we are extremely grateful to the Holiday Inn (downtown) for providing us cook/chill space. They’ve been wonderful.”

For the past 15 months, the Mobile Meals Senior Nutrition has been operat-ing out of multiple locations – kitchen manager Gina Delk presides over a make-shift kitchen in the base-ment of the Holiday Inn that has about 1,200 square feet

of space (compared to 9,600 square feet in the Reynolds Street facility).

The meals are tasty, low sodium, low sugar and af-fordable, costing clients $3.50 each. The meals are paid for through state and federal grants as well as by city and county govern-ments and United Way contributions as well as through private donations from churches and civic organizations.

Clients get a monthly menu card that allows them to choose what they want the volunteers

to bring them.“The menus go out in the

middle of the month, and clients circle what they want. At present, there are two op-tions. After the fi rst of the year, we hope to add a third choice. This is important, because a lot of folks don’t have control over their lives, and thank goodness we can offer them that,” Taylor said.

In addition to the food delivery, the volunteers also make a point of checking on the clients every day, and

Manneschmidt, a mem-ber of the Oak Ridge Garden Club, used mixed media and mono-botanicals to dem-onstrate design techniques for shows and for the home. Her talent belies the few years she has been involved in garden clubs and judging.

“One of my favorite piec-es to use with live plants is a metal sculpture by Ken Schwartz,” said Mann-eschmidt. “I use black elec-tricians tape to attach fl ow-er holders and other pieces to the metal.”

Manneschmidt said the introduction of modern art in the 1950s spurred the more creative design tech-niques being used today in fl ower arranging and com-petitive shows.

Art show and sale

An example of Ted Burnett’s work

includes this scenic coastal watercolor.

By Jake MabeCarolyn Mullins says

the two-year project of readying the works of the late Knoxville artist Ted Burnett for an art show and sale has been a labor of love.

Mullins says she and her husband, Bill, were among Burnett’s “groupies” at his bohemian art gallery, the Art Mart on Fifth Avenue, in the mid-1960s. She says Lanelle Holley, who works with her at Mullins’ Village Fine Art Gallery, was one of Burnett’s art students.

“Ted went through all kinds of styles,” Mullins says, “most of which have not been seen in public.”

All that will change Sun-day, Oct. 14, during a special art show and sale 2-7 p.m. at Village Fine Art Gallery, 4660 Old Broadway. A per-centage of sales will benefi t co-sponsor the East Ten-nessee Historical Society.

Burnett, who died in 1982, did not promote his artwork much during his lifetime. His most avid col-lector was his wife, Hazel, who passed away in 2006. Burnett developed myriad styles, including heavily-textured fl orals, abstract landscapes/seascapes, non-

to highlight work

of Ted Burnett

representational modern and modern expressionist paintings in mixed media, a series replicating mosaics, and abstract nudes in wa-tercolor representing the 12 signs of the Zodiac. Mullins says he took a special inter-est in casein paintings.

Born in Knoxville in 1908, Burnett graduated from the Chicago Academy

of Fine Arts and studied at The Chicago Art Institute and Eliot O’Hara Water-color School in Maine. He is survived by two sons, Mitch and Fielden. The Burnetts’ other son, Bim, passed away in 2005.

Burnett also made his own frames for his artwork, some of which will also be for sale. Info: 687-0411.

She doesn’t have a car and is alone a lot during the day while her daughters are working. She’s keenly in-terested in politics and has been following the issues around the presidential race on cable TV.

Stories about the new Voter ID laws were daunt-ing.

A couple of weeks ago, one of her daughters’ church friends gave her a ride out to the Tennessee Department of Safety’s driver service center in Strawberry Plains so she could get a photo ID. It was a long ride but she fi gured it was worth it to be able to vote.

Unfortunately, it didn’t work. The clerk who pro-cessed her request wanted to see a birth certifi cate (which she didn’t have) and proof that she really lives in Knoxville – a deed or KUB bill with her name on it. She didn’t have that, either.

What she did have was

a valid out-of-state drivers license with her photo on it and a change-of-address form from the post offi ce.

She caught a break the f o l l o w i n g week when Knox Coun-ty Elections A d m i n i s -trator Cliff R o d g e r s heard of her plight.

It took him about

10 seconds to opine that her out-of-state drivers license and proof of residence were plenty enough to qualify her to vote.

She fi lled out the forms and will have a new voter’s registration card this week. Rodgers said this isn’t the fi rst time he’s heard about this kind of problem.

He shook her hand and welcomed her to Knoxville and she went home with a smile on her face.

President Obama has nominated three more persons for the TVA board, which will guarantee a quorum should they be confi rmed. One of the nom-inees is Mike McWherter, son of the late Gov. Ned McWherter and unsuccess-ful candidate for governor in 2010.

If the President is not re-elected, expect these nomi-nees to fail and a President Romney to nominate four new board members, but it means the board will lack a quorum for several months. However, if President Obama is re-elected, some or all of these nominees may win confi rmation.

The President’s four nominees may or may not meet the corporate experi-ence standard which Sen. Bob Corker favors for the TVA board. The Senate does not go back into session until Nov. 13 and is likely to meet for only three weeks with the budget topping the list of must-do items.

Given all that the lame-duck session of Congress has to do, confi rming four TVA nominations (one was made last February) will not rank high on the agenda. Hearings have not even been set. Further-more, the White House failure to consult Sen. La-mar Alexander during this process is nothing short of stunning. He has a long-time interest in TVA and is a pivotal player in deter-mining who gets confi rmed.

It appears TVA may hire a successor to Tom Kilgore but the agency has declined to reveal what the consult-ing fi rm is being paid to assist the board in fi nding the replacement.

Travis Brickey, TVA pub-lic relations spokesperson, said, “Typically, specifi c information regarding con-tract amounts are confi den-tial due to the competitive contract process.”

One would think release of the actual amount which ratepayers are paying would be in the public in-terest and would not com-promise competitive bids. All competitive bids for the city of Knoxville and Knox County are a matter of pub-lic record for any citizen to inspect, but not at TVA ap-parently.

Kilgore will have almost $7 million in his retirement package despite a rocky tenure as CEO which left many ratepayers unhappy. If ratepayers got to vote on his considerable retirement package, it would fail. The current board is anxious

While this district court has existed for 225 years, Varlan is only the 21st person to hold a U.S. District judgeship, having been appointed by former President George W. Bush in 2003. President George Washington appointed the fi rst district judge for East Tennessee.

Cliff gets one rightI had a really good story

fall through last week.It was about a new Knox-

villian who has faced all kinds of personal tragedy with courage and grace and whose dearest wish is to be able to register to vote in the November elections.

It would have made you cry.

But she’s a private person and decided she didn’t want that kind of publicity. She just wants to vote in Knox County.

That didn’t seem like much to ask, especially for someone who has faced un-imaginable challenges over the past seven years. The most recent chapter of her story began this summer when she got a call from her oldest daughter, who told her mom she had just been diagnosed with lung cancer.

“I made a quick decision to make a beeline to Knox-ville to help my daughter,” she said, despite her own fi ght to overcome breast cancer. But she retired from her job as a law librar-ian in 2005 after losing her home to hurricane Katrina, so she’s able to relocate on short notice. And her baby needed her.

She settled in pretty quickly. She has two daugh-ters here, and they are all living together. She is con-tinuing her own chemother-apy at the same time that her oldest daughter begins her own battle.

Based on the assump-tion that many Shop-

per-News readers have never been to Mississippi State for a late-night foot-ball game, and may not go, here is a virtual trip without charges for travel, food, lodging or tickets.

The appropriately named town of Starkville (nick-named Starkpatch by the crude and insensitive) is a ways down the road from Memphis and out Highway 82. Population is 23,926 except on select Saturdays.

Starkville is the social and political hub of Oktib-beha County. It was Choc-taw country before the rel-atively young USA worked out a little land swap with the Indians. Eleven mil-lion acres changed hands in the 1830 Treaty of Danc-ing Rabbit Creek. You can look it up.

Starkville has made great strides. Median household income is $22,590. What you may have heard about food stamps just isn’t true. “Ev-erybody” is not everybody.

Starkville is famous for far more than football and creative recruiting. Notori-ous gangster Machine Gun Kelly lived there two years while studying agriculture. His highest grade was C+ in physical hygiene. If pro-fessors had been more sup-portive, Kelly might have chosen farming over crime.

Cool Papa Bell brought honor. He went from Starkville to the baseball Hall of Fame. Julio Borbon went from Starkville to UT to the Texas Rangers. Jerry Rice made his mark in the NFL.

I’ve always thought a Starkville highlight was the arrest and overnight lockup of Johnny Cash. That was 1965.

Johnny warmed the concert crowd at the ani-mal husbandry building on the MSU campus. He sang bass and songs about cry-cry-crying, freight trains and walking the line.

His band retreated to Memphis but Cash, sup-posedly troubled and restless, decided to hang around. He visited a frat house, dropped in on a pri-vate party and finally ar-rived at the University Mo-tel. Well, shucks, or some-thing like that, he was out of cigarettes.

He went walking but con-venience stores were closed. He was intrigued by a private lawn sprinkled with fl owers. I don’t know what he was do-ing beside that tree.

Somebody who should have been asleep called the law.

The police didn’t believe Johnny Cash was Johnny Cash. They thought the gaunt man in black might be a migratory vagrant. They took him in to sober up. He kicked the cell door and broke his toe. To get even, he wrote the song “Starkville City Jail.”

There is no Starkville city jail but not many words rhyme with Oktib-beha County Jail.

Years later, keen, cogni-zant Robbie Ward turned Cash’s version of the arrest, that he was just picking fl ow-ers, into a festival and nego-tiated a symbolic “pardon” for the repentant superstar. Amazing what all goes on in Starkpatch, oops, Starkville.

Good town. Good peo-ple. Many places of wor-ship. Twice as many Bap-tists as Methodists. First in Mississippi to prohibit indoor smoking.

Starkvillians are not all rednecks in bib overalls and old pickup trucks. There is considerable culture, a clock museum, a piano showcase, a strong veterinary school, the John Grisham room at the campus library.

Even as we speak, the Starkville Community The-

ater is rehearsing Six Dance Lessons by Richard Alfi eri.

Hotel Chester, 101 North Jackson Street, is on the National Register of His-toric Places.

Football fans can be a country pain. They ring those blasted cowbells before, during and after games at Davis Wade Sta-dium. They talk about cow-bell etiquette but clang-clanging continues.

The SEC fi ned the school $30,000 and imposed cow-bell limitations. Compliance will supposedly determine the future of the bells. The NCAA will determine the future of recruiting. Big, bad Bulldogs may determine the football future of Tennessee.Marvin West invites reader reaction. His address is [email protected]

Cheap trip to Starkville

Or what woman having 10 silver coins, if she loses one of them, does not light a lamp, sweep the house, and search carefully until she fi nds it? When she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, “Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin that I had lost.”

(Luke 15: 8-9 NRSV)

Eden’s Law

Here we are, back in Je-sus’ Lost and Found

Department: a lost sheep, a lost coin, and the trium-phant story of the lost son (or the lost older brother, de-pending on where you stand to view the action).

I may as well confess my shortcomings up front and get it over with. Clutter and I are well acquainted. I blame my love of the writ-ten word, mostly, because I cannot bear to throw away a scrap of paper with some well-crafted sentence on it. I have magazines (espe-cially Christmas issues) that I haven’t looked at in years.

Enough confessing. You get the idea. I have too much stuff, too many tasks to complete, too many respon-sibilities, and too many oth-er things I would rather do than deal with the problem.

All of which means I spend a fair amount of time looking for things, which is why I love Jesus’ Lost and Found Department. Boy, can I relate to the woman looking for the coin!

When my daughter Eden

was about 5, I was frantical-ly searching for something, she observed calmly, “Don’t worry, Mom. You’ll fi nd it when you are looking for something else.” Turned out, she was right – then, and many times since.

It happened to me today – twice!

I had been searching for well over a week for a pair of earrings that I love. My Jordan bought them years ago at the Greekfest at St. George’s, and eventu-ally turned them over to me. They are simple teardrop-shaped black leather, with a Chi slashed across them – the fi rst letter in Christos.

This morning, I was looking for a coin, needing another quarter to make a simple purchase, and there they were, in the cup holder of my car. When I found them, I remembered why I had taken them off and put them there, and laughed at myself.

On a much more frus-trating level, I had bought two pages of stamps last week. I remembered well

where I was standing when I used the fi rst one. I was in my offi ce. I could not remember using another one. Could I fi nd them now? Are you kidding?

I searched at home, at work, in my car (several times), at home again, at work again. Finally, because I had things I had to mail, I went to the Post Offi ce and was standing in line to buy more stamps. I reached into my purse to retrieve my wal-let and saw a folded piece of paper I didn’t recognize.

My stamps. I had looked in my purse before, but if you think my house is cluttered …!

I’m quite certain the nice lady behind the coun-ter wondered why I came to the Post Offi ce. For a visit? Just to say hello? I smiled at her as I turned and left, making no purchase, offer-ing no explanation.

Eden’s Law has not been repealed. I find things when I am look-ing for something else. If that is true in a house (or car), is it also true in life? In relationships? In our work or play? In our Christian walk?

Like the woman in the parable, I should call some friends to come and cel-ebrate with me. But I would have to clean the house fi rst.

NATURE NOTES | Dr. Bob Collier

Fall is upon us.You can probably tell from all

those Asian stink bugs that are moving back into the house with you. But outside, the sumacs are already deep crimson.

The dogwoods are turning, and their berries are red and ripe. Our yard mockingbird is work-ing frantically to defend his berry trees from all comers. But soon there will be more “comers” than even he can handle. The cedar waxwings, or a fl ock of migrat-ing rose-breasted grosbeaks, will likely put him out of business in a matter of a few minutes.

I’ve just put new sunfl ower seeds in the bird feeder in hopes of encouraging the local chickadees and titmice to bring a few visiting migrants into the yard for us, but there’s still a lot of wild bird food available. Out in the back fi eld there are a lot of grasses and wild-fl owers going to seed; there are still some wild grapes hanging on; there are lots of bugs, including inchworms, moths and spiders. The fl ocks of meat-eating birds

are going over every twig and leaf several times a day to fi nd and gobble up whatever may be lurk-ing there.

For several years now, I’ve been leaving three sizeable patches of goldenrod to grow up and bloom in the back fi eld. They’re peaking out right about now. That’s defi -nitely where the action is – at least, the bug, butterfl y, spider, bee and wasp action. Goldenrod attracts loads of insect life because, unlike ragweed, which is sending tons of spiky pollen grains into the air (and into our sinuses) these days, gold-enrod makes heavy, sticky pollen that stays put in the blossoms until removed or eaten by something. It must be good, with considerable food value, judging by the number of customers it draws.

A quick afternoon survey of a goldenrod patch generally pro-duces a list of a couple dozen kinds of fl ies, bees and wasps, bugs, bee-tles, butterfl ies and spiders. Some of the visitors are eating the gold-enrod pollen right there on the spot, while others are carrying it

away. You’ll see bumblebees and honeybees with the pollen sacs on their hind legs full of gathered pollen to be taken back and fed to the larvae in hive or nest.

But, just as in your garden, not everything you see on your plants is there to eat them. A lot of them are there to eat the ones that are eating the plants. That’s how it is out there in the back fi eld, a whole lot of being eaten as well as eating.

Take aphids, for example. As things dry up this time of the year, you see fewer aphids because they like to suck the juices out of tender, growing parts of a plant, like your rose bushes and tomatoes. But a few things are still putting out new growth, like the seed pods of but-terfl y weed and fl owers of the gold-enrods. And there are the aphids.

Aphids begin life in the spring as hatchlings from eggs laid in the previous fall. But after that, things are anything but usual for the aphids. Those spring females quickly mature and the females produce zillions of baby female aphids, by live birth, with no males involved. That is called par-thenogenesis, or virgin birth, and some other organisms reproduce in the same way. I’m not making this up, honest.

Aphids can produce as many as 13 generations in a season. Imag-ine how many that would make if every single daughter aphid sur-vived and began producing her generations. I once read in a gar-dening book an estimate for how

long it would take, if every new aphid lived, for them all to equal the weight of the entire Earth. It wasn’t a very long time.

Lucky for us, there are lots of things out there that love to eat aphids, ladybugs, for one, and their larvae. They eat them steadi-ly, day after day. You can purchase ladybugs to put in your garden to clean up those aphids without chemicals and such. Another ma-jor aphid-eater is the larva of the delicate-looking lacewing fl y; they munch them voraciously as well. And going at them from another approach, several species of small parasitic wasps lay their eggs in aphids and thus eat them from the inside out. Very effective.

I watched the other day as a spe-cies of assassin bug with a dagger-like beak pierced aphid after aphid, sucking them dry. Thank goodness we have some help out there to keep us from being smothered by tons and tons of aphids!

Another critter that’s on our side is the cool little crab spider. They run from 1/4-inch to 1/2-inch in size and they hold their front two pairs of legs up and out, like a crab holds its front claws. And, like crabs, they run faster sideways and backwards than straight ahead.

Crab spiders change color ac-cording to the fl owers they are hiding on. They generally start out white in the spring, lurking in the white spring wildfl owers. Then, toward summer, when they move

to yellow fl owers, they can turn yellow in seven to 10 days. This makes for excellent camoufl age for their line of work: they make no web, but instead, hide amongst the parts of a fl ower and wait for insect prey to come to the fl ower for pollen, and then pounce, grab and eat.

They often catch insects larger than they are. Once when I was out photographing butterfl ies, I spotted a nice gray hairstreak but-terfl y, known to be fast and skit-tish. It was on a milkweed blos-som and I approached it with care and stealth, snapping a photo each time I got a little closer. This was in fi lm days and each slide taken added up to more money at the photo store.

As I got really close, I suddenly remembered words I’d read in an article about photographing but-terfl ies: “Sometimes a diffi cult butterfl y that you can get really close to is actually dead and in the clutches of a crab spider.”

Well, they were right. The one-inch butterfly was in the grasp of a little yellow 3/8-inch crab spider, with nothing much left but the wings!

Vegetarians? Ladybugs and crab spiders wouldn’t under-stand what you were talking about. And it’s a good thing that they, along with all those birds scouring the leaves and branch-es, feel that way about it or we would have, as they say, a real situation on our hands.

Somehow our pets know the best way to tug at our heart-strings, says Jonathan Warren, pas-tor of Powell Presbyterian Church.

“Especially if we are having a bad day, they know just how to make us feel a bit better. They don’t talk back or leave the toilet seat up.”

At 10 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 13, Powell Presbyterian Church will hold a service to bless these animals that God created and put in our lives, Warren said.

This service might sound silly to some, but to animal owners, it is far from silly. These pets are an important part of peo-ple’s lives.

For some children, their pet is a best friend. For a single person, their pet is a companion. And for ani-mal lovers, their pet is part of the family.

Any and every pet own-er in Powell and Knoxville is invited to come.

Tell your animal loving

friends and n e i g h b o r s to come to the service. There will be treats for the dogs and cats. Even if you don’t have a pet, this

service will be great fun.Here is the blessing each

animal will receive from the Rev. Jonathan Warren:

“Blessed are you, Lord God, maker of all living creatures. You called forth fi sh in the sea, birds in the air and animals on the land.

“We ask you to bless this pet. By the power of your love, enable it to live ac-cording to your plan.

“May we always praise you for all your beauty in creation. Blessed are you, Lord our God, in all your creatures! Amen.”

The church is located at 2910 W. Emory Rd. in Pow-ell. Info: www.powellpcusa.org or 938-8311.

By Wendy SmithThe St. James Episcopal

Church Treble Choir only has 10 members. But the group’s potential to inspire the church and the com-munity is huge, in spite of its small size.

More than half of the new choir’s membership comes from kids who spend time at the near-by Boys and Girls Club of the Tennessee Valley. The church’s choir direc-tor, Jason Overall, formed the choir to offer musical training to kids from the community as well as the youth from St. James.

“It’s an outreach to our kids, too,” he says.

The choir has been prac-ticing for a month and is off to a strong start. One of the challenges is the group’s broad age range. The youngest member is in the 3rd grade, and the oldest is a junior in high school. But it works, Over-all says, because the cur-riculum he uses empha-sizes mentoring.

“We put the older ones next to the younger ones.”

Singing together has proven to be a good way to overcome other differ-ences, too.

“It’s a wonderful way to interact with people from different backgrounds,” he says.

Christina Baker Smith, program director for the Boys and Girls Clubs of the Tennessee Valley, says the choir is a great opportu-nity for club members.

“Our kids love to sing. Getting formal instruction

Treble Choirblends more than voices

in music is nice because it allows them to sing at a new level and learn differ-ent styles of singing.”

The primary benefit of participating in Treble Choir is self-confidence. The group recently held a practice at the Haslam Family Club University of the Boys and Girls Clubs of the Tennessee Valley, and the novice singers were proud to show off their new skills.

“We expect them to be leaders and have empow-ered them to help their peers understand what we do. It was fun to see them take ownership of that role,” says Overall.

Another benefit of choir participation is the oppor-tunity to learn to read mu-

sic. Providing music edu-cation to the community becomes more important as music classes are mini-mized in public schools.

Singing with the choir also gives kids and fami-lies the opportunity to find a faith community. The choir isn’t intended to be a tool for proselytizing, Overall says, but members do commit to singing each Sunday, so participation lends itself to a worship experience.

In the long run, the goal of the Treble Choir is to produce good people rath-er than good choir mem-bers, he says.

A new offering from the adult choir at St. James is a biannual Evensong ser-vice. The choral prayer

service harkens back to the monastic tradition of com-ing together for daily eve-ning prayer. The service is 6 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 9, and visitors are welcome. The church is located at 1101 North Broadway.

Overall was hired as organist and choir master of St. James last year. He moved to Knoxville from Indianapolis with his wife, Edie Johnson, who is or-ganist at Church Street United Methodist Church.

The couple were initially unsure about moving to a smaller metropolitan area, especially since there was no Trader Joe’s. But they’ve come to love Knoxville, he says, and now that the gro-cery store has opened here, they are perfectly content.

Shopper-News Presents Miracle Makers

By Wendy Smith

A quick stroll through Pond Gap Elementary School at 4 p.m. demonstrates why Knox

County Schools is investing in the community school movement.

In the circus class, held in the cafeteria, kids read a book about circus animals before bouncing around tables on jumping balls. Down the hall, students receive in-dividualized attention from teach-ers on math homework.

In music class, Ronda Mostel-la encourages students to sit up straight to improve their sound. But the message is about more than singing.

“If you sit up straight, your grades will go up. All it takes is get-ting your instrument straight.”

Other important things are go-ing on in the University-Assisted Community School. Some that can’t be observed. Data shows that most participants are staying the same or performing better in read-ing and math. Additionally, ab-sences, tardies and behavioral re-ferrals are down, and that means parental involvement is improving. Both things are remarkable, given the population served by the pro-gram, says Bob Kronick.

The UT College of Education, Health and Health Sciences profes-sor began his work on the commu-nity school concept 13 years ago. Community schools allow children to receive education and enrich-ment after school hours and offer services like meals, health care and classes, to adults in the community.

Benefi ts extend beyond the Pond Gap neighborhood. The commu-nity school also provides hands-on experience and research oppor-tunities for the many UT students who work there.

This is the third year of the pro-gram, which is funded by a grant

Pond Gap Elementary School students Samara Johnson and Reginald Marsh get help with math homework from community school teacher Nicole Pike.

from UT alumnus Randy Boyd. An additional grant from the United Way of Greater Knoxville allows 80 kids to participate this year.

Kronick’s plea at a June County Commission meeting resulted in a $500,000 commitment from Knox County Schools to create three more community schools. The Great Schools Partnership provides further funding for the initiative.

Programs are opening this fall at Lonsdale, Green and Norwood el-ementary schools.

Drema Bowers Mitchell is the Project GRAD administrator at Lonsdale Elementary. The com-munity school there will initially serve 80 students, and programs are scheduled to begin Oct. 22. Students will participate in after-school programs until 5:15 p.m. Monday through Thursday, then dinner will be served to students and their families.

Mitchell thinks Lonsdale is ahead of the curve because of Proj-ect GRAD’s presence on the cam-pus. Resource coordinator Susan Bryant and after-school coordi-nator Adam Fritts were already working at the school with Project

GRAD and have experience with after-school tutoring.

Mitchell has observed the program at Pond Gap and has toured community schools in Cincinnati. But every com-munity school looks differ-ent, because every commu-nity is different, she says.

A steering committee made up of parents, teachers and community partners recommended the classes and services that will be available to adults while children are receiv-ing extra instruction at Lonsdale. Opportunities will include a His-panic women’s group, a keyboard-ing class and GED class.

Interns from UT and LMU will work with students at Lonsdale, and 15 community partners, in-cluding the Joy of Music School and Ijams Nature Center, are on board. Knox County Schools has contracts with health, mental health and dental care providers that will offer services at each of the three com-munity schools.

“It’s a very exciting time for us,” says Mitchell. “Our goal is to see kids improve academically and be empowered.”

Kronick serves as a consultant to the new community schools. With the support of the community, local government, school administrators and teachers, Knox County Schools is poised to take off, he says.

“It’s like we’re No. 3 in line at Hartsfi eld Airport. Everything’s in place. Unless we mess it up, it’s set to go beautifully. The potential is there.”

Circus teacher Jake Weinstein reads to his class before turn-ing them loose with jumping balls in the Pond Gap Elemen-tary School cafeteria.

absence of trauma.

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. Wegener

Osteoporosis 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

Coming off a 28-7 televised win against Hardin Valley last Thursday, it’s clear that Pow-ell is hot. The Panthers now stand at 6-1 overall and 4-0 in the district, with the last round of the regular season not really getting any tougher.

Powell dominated the Hawks, allowing only one touchdown – and that one came from a kickoff return.

Quarterback Hagen Owenby went 13-18, throw-ing for 193 yards and two touchdowns – to Tremarius Hunt and Marcus Weaver. He tacked on 71 rushing yards. Tailback Montario Washington added another 67 rushing yards on 11 car-ries and a touchdown.

It looked like Powell had slipped in the fourth quar-ter, when up 21-7, Owenby threw a pick at the HVA one-yard-line. But the following Hardin Valley drive didn’t last long. Shortly thereafter, Johnathan Strozyk intercept-ed a Hardin Valley pass and returned it for a touchdown to put the Panthers up 28-7 with less than two minutes remaining in the game.

Drive after drive, the Pow-ell defense managed to step up and keep Hardin Valley from scoring. The closest

Postseason looms

the Hawks got was a missed 44-yard-fi eld goal attempt in the late 2nd quarter.

With most of the tougher regular season games out of the way, the postseason has to be in the back of every Panther fan’s mind. Up next is a trip to Campbell County to take on the Cougars. Pow-ell hasn’t lost to Campbell County since 2008, meaning no current member of this Powell team has ever lost to the Cougars.

The last game of the season will not be easy, however. Cen-tral’s Bobcats will come into Scarbro Stadium with hopes of spoiling Powell’s Senior Night. Central (4-3 overall), hasn’t beaten the Panthers since 2010. The Bobcats have a near-perfect district record (4-1) and are currently on a four game winning streak.

But if Powell’s defense per-forms like it did against Har-din Valley, it’s hard seeing

Campbell County or Central doing much damage on the scoreboard. Powell’s offense has been solid as well, on the ground and through the air. Neither team’s secondary should overwhelm Powell’s passing game, and the same goes for the running game.

Should Powell win out, home-fi eld advantage in the playoffs would almost be a certainty.

Volleyball: The Powell volleyball team is entering the postseason – and com-ing in hot.

The Panthers fi nished out their regular season by beat-ing Lenoir City by scores of 25-23, 18-25, 25-21 and 25-13.

“It was a great night for the seniors and their families,” said coach Michael Blair.

Up next is the district tournament, in which Pow-ell will be seeded seventh. A key to winning in the postseason will be on-court team communication, ac-cording to Blair.

The Panthers will take on the second-seeded Har-din Valley Hawks in the first round of the district tournament at Hardin Val-ley Academy.

The game will take place Tuesday, Oct. 9, with game time to be announced. From here on out for the Panthers, it’s win or go home.

Rob Vandergriff , AutoXtend

Meet Rob Vandergriff of AutoXtend. Rob will tell you he’s the greeter at AutoExtend’s two locations, when in fact he’s the owner. But, he says, it’s his great employees who really make the business hum, so he’d prefer to be called the greeter.

“AutoXtend is a community automotive repair facility with outstanding employees serving a wonderful community with all aspects of their car care needs,” he said.

So, take a moment to get to know Rob Vandergriff and add him to your Shopper Network.

Who inspires you professionally?Pat Summitt because of her ability to coach athletes to

perform beyond their abilities and inspire them to be even better citizens than they are athletes.

Why did you choose this career?My dad was an automotive mechanic who could fi x any-

thing, and I really respect anyone with the gift for being able to fi x something broken. Plus I’m a car nut, so it is second nature to me.

What do you love about your community?The Halls and Powell communities are blessed with

the best group of people in the world. We now have cus-tomers who are friends, and that is the biggest compli-ment you can get.

What is the best part of your day?Our business is more like a barber shop, in that the fi rst

thing in the morning people just come in and grab a cup of coffee and talk. So, to me the best part is the start of the day.If you would like to be a featured business person in Shopper Network, email shannon@

By Sherry WittAfter the fi rst sustained

period of g r o w t h in near-ly four years, the local real e s t a t e m a r k e t s l e v e l e d off some-what in

September. For the month ending on Friday, Sept. 28, there were 660 prop-erty sales recorded by the Register of Deeds offi ce, or 177 fewer than during the month of August.

The fi gures are almost fl at even when compared to September 2011, when 669 parcels were sold.

The total value of real estate sold during Sep-tember was $232.4 mil-lion, but was bolstered by a single transfer that came in at $100 million. Even without the large transfer, however, the data compared favorably to last September when $111 million was sold.

Mortgage lending mar-kets continued to perform

well. For the month, about $308 million was loaned against property in Knox County, compared to just $238 million in Septem-ber of 2011. Low interest rates, government pro-grams and slightly im-proved property values have combined to make 2012 a strong year for re-fi nancing.

The largest property transfer of the month, and of the year to date, was the sale for $100 mil-lion of a health care facil-ity in the Dowell Springs complex on Middlebrook Pike. The largest mort-gage transaction was a loan secured by Knoxville Hotel Associates for $11.5 million against property on Lake Avenue.

Although property sales did experience a downturn in September, it should be noted that this comes on the heels of a six-month stretch that outperformed the same period from 2011. Historically, September al-most always brings such a drop in sales as construc-tion slows with the onset of fall.

Sales pull back in September

Nick has been working in the pharmacy setting for the past six years. He put himself through college working with various pharmacies while learning the various skills and procedures practiced by pharmacists nationwide. While earning his doctorate through the Appalachian College of Pharmacy, he was president of the community pharmacy organization and helped raise awareness of what a community pharmacy, such as Food City Pharmacy, could do for the community in which it is located. Also, during his doctoral program he was trained in the art of counseling patients, immunizing patients, and performing the duties of a pharmacist to highest degree of medi-cal, legal and ethical standards. Nick was hired on to work with Food City Pharmacy immediately after gradu-ation and started as a floating pharmacist then moved on to become the staff pharmacist at the Dandridge Food City Pharmacy. Currently, Nick is pleased to serve as the Halls-Crossroads Food City Pharmacy Manager. It is his pleasure to give counsel on and dispense medication. Additionally, Nick is certified to administer vaccinations and is always happy to give a Flu Shot or a Shingles Vaccine at the patient’s convenience.Nick Anderson PharmD
