By Sandra ClarkDoes your kid dread school, get

anxious before a big test or gener-ally seem disengaged?

These are symptoms of what educators call “toxic testing,” and some are actively engaged in fi nd-ing a cure.

Three staff members of the Tennessee Education Association were in Maynardville last Thurs-day to rally the troops. Sadly, their audience lacked parents, school administrators and most teachers.

Yet Leigh Phillips, Rhonda Thompson and Tina Parlier made a lot of sense:

■ Test and Punish is our current culture, led in Tennes-see by Gov. Bill Haslam’s former education commissioner, Kevin Huffman, and fueled by Race to

the Top funding, promoted by the Obama Administration and its former education commissioner, Arne Duncan. Teacher evaluations and tenure are tied to high-stakes testing. Schools deemed “failing” are at risk of state takeover.

■ Teaching to the Test is the only rational response to a system that rewards and pun-

ishes schools, school districts and individual teachers based on test scores. Phillips said teach-ers report spending nine weeks of instruction time testing and preparing for tests. Thompson gave anecdotal testimony of kids who vomit before and even during tests. Students can lose vocational classes or see reductions in the arts and physical education to cre-ate positions for “coaches” to help improve test scores.

■ Test Transparency is an answer, Phillips said. Eliminat-ing the TVAAS (value-added) test results from teacher/school scor-ing is another. TEA is pushing to make test questions available to teachers and parents. And a bot-tom line question for all parents is this: How does excessive test-

ing and test prep benefi t my kid? If the tests are just a tool for evaluat-ing teachers and schools, then the kids become data points.

And it would not be TEA with-out talk of funding. Tennessee currently ranks 46th of 50 states in per pupil state funding for edu-cation, Thompson said. TEA’s goal is to increase Tennessee’s invest-ment per pupil to the national av-erage by 2020. The last available fi gures show Tennessee spend-ing $9,290 per student, against a national average of $12,357. All contiguous states spend more per pupil than does Tennessee.

Thompson said, “Tennessee schools get top 10 results on bot-tom 10 funding.” She observed it costs $27,000 per year to keep one prisoner.

By Sandra ClarkThe Board of Education cur-

rently leans 5-4 in support of Superintendent Jim McIntyre; but when Tony Norman, run-ning unopposed, takes offi ce in September, the numbers will fl ip. Whether that comes as a 5-4 or 7-2 majority will be determined by two elections on March 1.

District 5 (Farragut): Kar-en Carson is stepping down after three terms.

The front-runner is Susan Horn, a PTA activist most recent-ly involved in the successful cam-paign of Jason Zachary. His oppo-nent? Karen Carson. At last week’s League of Women Voters debate, Horn argued against excessive testing and called the TVAAS val-ue-added scoring “crazy.”

The daily paper has endorsed lawyer Buddy Pelot, whose mom, Barbara, grew up in Far-ragut and served two terms on the Knoxville City Council. Pelot lacked specifi cs at the LWV de-bate, but came across as calm and professional. He’s been active at Bearden High School where his

from Knox County Schools in 2014, where she worked as a guid-ance counselor. She says current evaluations including reliance on TVAAS scores are “not accurate assessments of teachers.”

District 2: Tracie Sanger did not seek re-election in this North Knox and Fountain City district.

Grant Standefer won the daily paper’s endorsement, chiefl y because he’s not a teacher. Stand-efer is a former pastor who has headed the Compassion Coalition for 11 years. He lives at Beverly Square near Shannondale School. He says effective service is about relationships, trust and goodwill.

He advocates increased funding, teacher raises and more commu-nity schools.

Jennifer Owen is a former teacher who now operates a small business. She won last week’s debate with clear answers. For instance, when candidates were asked how best to get students “college and career ready,” Owen said educators should lose that phrase. “We need to focus on the whole child and being able to work with other people.”

As in Sanger’s race, a small group of donors are going all-out to elect their favorites. For the re-porting period that ended Jan. 15, 2016, we see:

Standefer raised $29,600 (against just $525 reported by

Owen). Of his receipts, 17 donors maxed out at $1,500 each. They were Doug and Carla Harris (he’s the cur-rent school board chair), Jim and Natalie Haslam, B. Ray Thompson, Sherri Lee, Rod-ney and Dell Lawler, Steve and Ann Bailey (she’s Jim Haslam’s daughter), Harry and Elizabeth Stowers, John Tolsma, Dr. Michael and Lisa

Walsh, and Randy and Jenny Boyd.That’s $25,500 of $29,600 from

17 people – not one of whom lives in District 2.

In District 5, Buddy Pelot raised $23,750 . Of that, 14 donors maxed out. And look who they were: Doug and Carla Harris, Jim and Natalie Haslam, B. Ray Thompson, Sher-ri Lee, Rodney and Dell Lawler, Steve and Ann Bailey, Harry and Elizabeth Stowers and Randy and Jenny Boyd. That’s $21,000 of $23,750 from 14 people. At least some of them live in his district.

Contrast that with Horn rais-ing $5,105 from donors giving $20 to $500, and Boudreaux raising $3,295.

By Sandra ClarkPerhaps it started with Frontier

Communications and the $3 mil-lion grant we never got.

The grant application process (and we did get $5,000 for play-ing) brought several Powell people together for weekly discussions of challenges and opportunities for what we termed Historic Powell Station.

Bart and Cindy Elkins had already bought the former Her-rell house on Spring Street and opened The Front Porch restau-rant and primitive gift shop. We brainstormed ways to revitalize the Powell business district on Emory Road following the open-ing of Powell Drive, a bypass.

Just last week, two signifi cant parcels got new life.

“Community Center” reads the sign on the former Wheeler Karate building. Led by Janice White, the Heiskell Community Organization has contracted to buy the building, hopefully with Knox County as-sistance, to create a much-needed community center.

HEART TEAM

Heading EastCrossville heart attack victim benefi ts from collaboration

between Cumberland and Parkwest medical centersRandy Brown remembers it as

“a nice day” that spring afternoon last March when he decided to do a little work on his driveway. But as he pushed his gravel-laden wheel-barrow around, using a shovel to level out the uneven spots, some-thing hit him.

“It was like a heartburn that wouldn’t go away,” recalled the 57-year-old Crossville insurance agent. “I didn’t feel weak. I wasn’t hurting anywhere. I wasn’t hurt-ing in my arms, my legs or even my chest. It wasn’t that bad a heartburn – I’ve certainly hurt worse in my life.”

But when his wife, Kim, arrived home early from her job as a dieti-tian, she suspected her husband’s indigestion might be something more serious. She immediately took him to Cumberland Medical Center, Covenant Health’s 189-bed community hospital in Cross-ville.

“Cumberland Medical Center is growing its cardiac services on the Cumberland Plateau,” said Cross-ville cardiologist Dr. Vianney Vil-laruz. CMC’s cath lab performs a variety of procedures such as heart catheterizations and percu-taneous cardiac interventions like angioplasty and stenting to open narrowed arteries.

Patients who need more exten-sive procedures or emergency in-terventions can be transported to other Covenant Health hospitals – usually Parkwest Medical Cen-ter, which has been partnering with Cumberland Medical Center to enhance CMC’s interventional cardiology services.

“When a patient comes to the ER, they immediately get an EKG and are triaged to see if there is something that implies the pa-tient needs to be taken directly to the cath lab,” said interventional cardiologist Dr. Roger Riedel. De-

pending on the patient’s situation, a clot-busting medicine might be given.

“When I told (CMC) my symp-toms, they immediately took me in and ran some tests and did an EKG on me. They determined that something didn’t look right and that I needed to be transported to have it looked at or to fi nd out what needed to be done,” said Brown. He had two options: to travel west to Cookeville or east to Parkwest Medical Center.

“I chose Parkwest because of its good reputation with cardiac issues,” Brown said. He was taken by ambulance to the West Knox-ville hospital. “We made very good time through the traffi c,” he said. “I don’t think there’s any doubt that from the time I left Cumber-land Medical Center to the time the procedure was being done at Parkwest, it couldn’t have been done any quicker.”

Brown said there was no “down time” when the ambulance ar-rived at Parkwest. “I don’t think they stopped from the time I came out of the ambulance and went straight to the cath lab,” he said. “Within fi ve minutes of me getting off the ambulance, they were get-ting me ready for surgery.”

That’s because Dr. Riedel had found that Brown’s symptoms were not heartburn, but a heart attack caused by blockages of 90-99 percent in one artery and 80 percent in another. Using cath-eters inserted through his groin, Dr. Riedel routed stents to the blockages.

“Luckily, I had very little, if any, heart damage,” said Brown. “Ev-erything went well. Dr. Riedel did a great job and I was back on my feet and ready to go the next day. I felt great. I was out of the hospital two days later and back at work in under a week.”

Randy Brown is all smiles after a life-saving heart

procedure at Parkwest Medical Center.

Heart disease is the leading killer in the United States. Knowing the warning signs of a heart attack and how to respond could save a life.

The following guidelines can help you make the right decisions and take the right steps when seconds count.

Heart attack symptomsThe following may be symptoms of a

heart attack. Not all of these warning signs occur in every attack. Seek immediate med-ical attention if any of these symptoms oc-cur:

■ Uncomfortable pressure, fullness, squeezing or

pain in the center of the chest that lasts more

than a few minutes or goes away and comes

back.

■ Pain spreading to the shoulders, neck, back and

arms.

■ Chest discomfort with lightheadedness, faint-

ing, sweating, nausea or shortness of breath.

■ Feeling very anxious or very tired. 

Be preparedTake the following emergency actions

ahead of time if you or a family member has a heart condition or is at risk of a heart at-tack:

■ Know which hospitals in your area provide

24-hour emergency heart care. Tell family and

friends where they are.

■ Keep emergency rescue phone numbers near

your phone or save them on your cell phone. 

■ Tell family and friends to call 911 or your local

number for emergencies if chest pain lasts more

than a few minutes.

There are other causes of chest pain be-sides a heart attack. However, you should get medical help if you or someone else

have the heart attack symptoms describedabove.

What to doIf you suspect someone is having a heart

attack: ■ Call 911 or your local number for emergencies.

Tell the person who answers where you are and

that someone is having a heart attack. Don’t

hang up until you’re told to do so.

■ You should not drive, or let someone else who is

having symptoms drive, to the hospital. 

While waiting for emergency help to arrive

■ Make sure the door to your home is unlocked.

■ Make sure you have a phone with you.

■ Chew and swallow 1 adult (325 mg) or 4 low-

dose (81 mg) aspirin:

* Do not take aspirin if you are allergic to it.

■ Sit in a comfortable chair and wait for help to

arrive.

911 basics: Responding to a heart attack

With his heart

problems now fi xed,

Brown can work in

his yard again.

Dr. Riedel also sent Brown home with heart medications and orders to see Dr. Villaruz for fol-low-up. “I’ve known Dr. Villaruz for many years, and he’s an ex-cellent physician. He keeps close watch on me,” said Brown.

Dr. Villaruz ordered medically supervised cardiac rehabilitation at Cumberland Medical Center. “I went about a month – they had re-ally good facilities there,” Brown said. “All the equipment is up-to-date, everything from a rowing machine to an exercise bike to treadmills. Everything is pretty much top of the line. I was im-pressed with it.”

Today, Brown is satisfi ed with his treatment at both Cumberland and Parkwest Medical Centers. “The treatment was perfect, and I haven’t had an issue since,” he said. “I’m back on the job every day and feeling fi ne.”

He’s also satisfi ed that he chose Parkwest. “We made a good deci-sion,” he said. “Parkwest is really

close to the interstate – you can bethere in just minutes. I think I wasin Knoxville as fast as or fasterthan I could’ve been elsewhere.

“There’s no way they could havedone it any quicker than Parkwest.It was ‘Bang! Bang!’ And I was outand done. Obviously, they havedone a lot of hearts and I trustedthem because of their reputation.”

un-paired electron, which neutralizes the free radical. Our bodies do have the ability to create some of their own anti-oxidants, but there are not near enough available. Therefore, it is best that you get additional antioxidants from food and nutritional supplements.

Your best defense is to have adequate or extra amounts of antioxidants avail-able for the amount of free radicals produced so no damage to your body will occur. When more free radicals are produced than there are antioxi-dants available, oxidative stress occurs. Chronic degenerative processes will oc-cur if this situation continues for a long period of time.

Next time: Where are antioxidants found?

By Dr. Donald G. Wegener

Free radicals are mainly oxygen molecules or atoms that have at least one unpaired electron in their outer orbit. In the process of utilizing oxygen during the normal metabolism within a cell to create

energy, active free oxygen radicals are created.

If these free radicals are not soon neutralized by an antioxidant, they may create even more volatile free radicals or cause damage to the cell membrane, ves-sel walls, proteins, fats or even the DNA nucleus of the cell. Medical literature refers to this damage as oxidative stress.

Your one and only defense to oxida-tive stress and the free radicals are your antioxidants. Antioxidants are able to neutralize the free radicals and turn them into harmless and even helpful products that your body can use.

An antioxidant is any substance that has the ability to give up an electron to a free radical and balance out the

The lives of Dave and Clare Crawford have re-volved around the Lions Club for so long it’s hard for them to remember a time when they weren’t Lions.

Dave and Clare Crawford:Lion-hearted forever

Cindy Taylor

Dave has been a Lion since 1975. Clare joined in 1987 in their home state of Virginia as one of the fi rst women allowed to become a Lion. Between them the couple have 70 years of ser-vice to the Lions Club.

Clare remembers her fi rst exposure to the club.

“I had just met Dave and for our second date he took me to be a part of a ser-vice project,” she said. “We cleaned up the yard of an elderly woman, pruned her apple trees and collected the fallen apples to use to make cider for a Lions’ fun-draiser.”

Clare said she was given the “honor” as a newbie of the fi rst crank to juice the collected apples using an antique hand-cranked apple cider press.

“It wasn’t until I had cranked for a while and worked up a really good sweat that they brought out a motor and hooked it up to fi nish the apples. I found out pretty quick that Lions love to have fun and they have a great sense of humor.”

Dave says the travel to international Lion Club conventions in places like Australia and Japan hold dear memories for him. The couple say they have trav-eled, met people and formed friendships that will stay with them forever.

“The friendships we have developed and the skills we have learned would not have happened without the Lions Club,” said Clare.

Both say the experience of being a Lion has enriched and changed their lives be-

talks enthusiastically about bridge, she isn’t referring to Henley Street.

She’s talking about a card game of strategy and excitement that jumped the pond from England to the U.S. in the late 1800s. Steadily gaining in popu-larity, there are a multitude of bridge leagues and tour-naments across the country drawing enthusiasts such as Bill Gates and Thom Yorke from the band “Ra-diohead” who reportedly plays bridge hours upon hours with bandmates while touring.

“It really is an amazing game,” said Jackson, who is a director at the Oak Ridge Bridge Club and teaches be-ginning bridge every Thurs-day morning at 9:30.

“It’s fun, it’s exciting, and it really works your brain. There are two parts

Bridge: A tricky pastimeto the game, bidding and tricks. You bid on how many tricks you think you can take, then you have to take that many. It takes strategy and focus. It’s a partner game, so you have to learn how to communi-cate as well. It gets pretty hot at the table sometimes, but we’re all in it for fun. It’s a great way to take your mind off your troubles and you’ll build a whole new social circle.”

And how. The Oak Ridge Bridge Club is open week-days hosting games for as many as 80 players. It’s common to see more than 40 players every day of the week.

The Oak Ridge Bridge Club is hosting “Learn to Play Bridge in a Day” at the club on 120 Randolph Road in Oak Ridge from 1-5 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 13.

Visionaries see a Powell Playhouse constructed on land in front with shared parking and cooking facili-ties.

On Saturday, the metal façade on the former Gron-er store was stripped away to reveal a two-story brick structure with the faded name: J.E. Groner & Co.

Justin and Kristin Bailey have purchased the building on the corner of Commerce Road and Depot Street with an eye toward restoring it. The building will continue to house Nature’s Fountain, which held open house last week to celebrate.

Why buy property on the old road when traffi c has shifted to the new?

Justin Bailey wrote on Facebook:

“Well, Kristin and I now own a piece of history. She was built in 1908.

“Sometimes you buy an old building because y ou see what she could be. What she used to be. Because you don’t want to see her be-come a parking lot. Because you know that with a little help this forgotten corner of your town could be so much more. Because for some reason you’ve fallen in love with her potential.

“And because somebody has to put their money where their mouth is. When it comes to community re-vitalization someone has to jump fi rst.

yond measure. Dave was in-strumental in getting the lo-cal mobile vision lab up and running. He says that is one of the most satisfying things he has done as a Lion.

“Knowing that you have helped improve the lives of other people and seeing how their lives have been incred-ibly changed is remarkable,” said Dave. “We have gotten much more out of being Li-ons than we can ever give back.”

Dave is a past Powell BPA Man of the Year and Clare is a past Powell BPA Woman of the Year. Clare is the current secretary for Knox North Lions and Dave holds that position with the Farragut Lions Club. Both are past District Governors for the Lions Club.

Both Dave and Clare were honored in Decem-ber with induction into the Tennessee Lions Hall of Fame. They are each the first from their respective clubs to achieve that dis-tinction.

Different world, different game, interesting numbers from now and then.

With Jalen Hurd, Alvin Kamara and Joshua Dobbs carrying the ball most of the time, Tennessee rushed for 2,908 yards and won nine of 13 games this past sea-son. The improved ground attack produced 32 touch-downs and generated con-siderable excitement.

We complained, more than once, that dual-threat Dobbs simply wasn’t good enough as a passer to rescue the defense in games that were lost. Overall, he com-pleted 59.2 percent, many dumps and dinks, for 2,291 yards and 15 scores. He might have had a few more if his receivers had per-formed at a higher level.

Total rushing yardage was close enough to the

Vols rushing: Diff erent world, interesting numbers

school record for valid com-parison. Right about now, please fasten your seat belts to discourage jumping up and interrupting me.

The undefeated 1951 Tennessee team rushed for 3,068 yards in 11 games and won the national champion-ship. Tailbacks Hank Lauri-cella and Herky Payne and fullbacks Andy Kozar and Dick Ernsberger got most of the yardage and 40 rushing touchdowns.

Now and then, tailbacks threw a pass. They complet-ed some, 41 of 96 to be pre-

cise, for a grand total of 617 yards and 11 touchdowns. They hit 42.7 percent and “inaccuracy” was never mentioned.

Lauricella got the ball more than Payne, made longer runs, had better passing numbers and won all-America recognition. He was runner-up in Heisman trophy balloting and should have won. He is in the col-lege hall of fame.

Herky scored more touchdowns than Hank. He was one tough guy.

I report this as an eye-witness. I was a UT fresh-man in the fall of ’51. I thought the Volunteers were interesting. I recognized the single-wing as an effi cient formation. Blockers often double-teamed opposing tackles or ends and cre-ated large openings. They

knocked some people down and stepped on them.

Most Saturdays, that team made winning look relatively easy. Being only 17, inexperienced and from Powell, I assumed Tennes-see would probably win game after game and year after year.

Center Bob Davis, older and wiser, even though from Bluefi eld, W. Va., gra-ciously explained in a hap-penstance meeting that I had watched a “once in a lifetime” performance by an unusual group of men, led by a legendary general and taught and tuned by a per-fectionist backfi eld coach whose favorite saying in practice was “Run it again.”

At the time, I believed Da-vis was exaggerating. I later learned he was spot-on cor-rect, that I had seen one of the

greatest teams in Tennessee history, comparable to 1938, just a little better than 1956.

Some of the Doug Dickey teams became personal fa-vorites. The Sugar Vols had a terrifi c fi nish. I fully ap-preciate the 1998 champs. I remain hopeful that such an achievement might, some-time, happen again.

Comparing then and now is apples and oranges but there are similarities. The 2015 Vols scored 59 against Bowling Green and 55 on Western Carolina. They killed Kentucky and should have scored a hun-dred against North Texas. Vanderbilt absorbed a seri-ous whipping.

The 1951 Vols beat up Chattanooga, Tennessee Tech, Washington and Lee, Ole Miss and Kentucky. They were favored by 14 over Ala-

bama and won by 14.Tennessee 1951 scored

373 points in 11 games. Ten-nessee 2015 scored 457 in 13. Aaron Medley and excit-ing kick returners skewed those numbers.

Here is a significant distinction: The most re-cent Vols walloped North-western in a secondary bowl game. The older Vols were upset by N o. 3 Mary-land in the Sugar Bowl, the main event.

Final polls followed the regular season. Bowls didn’t count. Bowl victories now trigger great expecta-tions. Romps are like rocket launches.

I expect the 2016 Vols to break the school rushing re-cord – but need more than 11 games to do it.Marvin West invites reader reaction. His

Have you been for a medical checkup lately? You know the drill. The doc and nurses check your blood pressure, palpate your throat, listen to your lungs, tap your knee refl exes, ar-range for lab work to draw and analyze your blood and urine, and ask some probing lifestyle questions.

The same thing happens when the mayor and coun-cil gather with key depart-ment heads and city staff for the mid-year budget re-treat – without, of course, the harsh snapping of latex gloves...

The city’s fi scal health, as well as the status of existing projects, department per-formance, and the adminis-tration’s planned directions were probed at the half-day, mid-year review last Friday.

Finance Director Jim York reported that the city

The mayor’s budget: a mid-year snapshot

is on track to meet its bud-get targets. Our bond rating remains top-tier (triple A by Fitch). There has been posi-tive local sales tax growth of three percent, while other property and business tax receipts are static.

A positive surprise is the lower cost of fuel, of which city vehicles and KAT buses burn a lot. Pension costs – no surprise – will continue to rise until 2020, when they are projected to level off and begin to decline as new hires come under the city’s hybrid plan.

The city’s annual pen-sion contribution is roughly

$24 million and will rise to $31.5 million in 2020, when the funding shortfall should be corrected. Cost of living adjustments add to the pen-sion load.

Current city employment hovers around 1,600 work-ers. The city continually re-assesses workload and staff needs as employees leave or retire, consolidating tasks where possible. The new public service center at Lor-raine Street could increase effi ciencies there. Finally, the city, like the state, won-ders how to fund road im-provements as gas tax rev-enue shrinks.

Property crimes have de-clined, although there has been some increase in crimes to the person since 2014. There were 12,367 arrests thus far this fi scal year. Police reported on efforts to clean up recent gang violence.

The fi re department has handled some 21,467 calls, with fi rst responder health calls accounting for almost half. KFD will request two new pumpers and one lad-der truck next year, at an es-timated cost of $2 million.

We reviewed ongoing construction projects. Staff reported on streetscapes downtown, North down-town and Cumberland Av-enue. Progress on the south waterfront and the public vetting of the Magnolia Ave-nue streetscape design were discussed, as were planned construction on Jackson Av-enue and the ramp rebuilds.

The state will tackle the aging Broadway viaduct re-construction.

Public works and engi-neering reported on the construction status of the public works complex on Loraine Street which will

hopefully open in the fall, with higher effi ciency de-sign features and staff con-solidation.

Parks and Rec reported on improvements and de-molition of older buildings at the 185-acre Lakeshore Park. A private group, Lake-shore Park LLC, has vowed to raise $25 million to help fund the park build-out.

Engineering reported on two major drainage proj-ects that were completed in 2015: Prosser Road and Cross Park Drive. Hopefully fl ooding there is behind us.

Future direction: Go-ing forward, the focus was on the auditorium/colise-um complex, the Supreme Court site on Henley, and the Jackson Avenue ware-houses and ramp rebuild efforts.

The consensus was to fi x the auditorium, and to fo-

cus on building a separate arena on the site. The east side tract has great park-ing and road access, hotel and downtown restaurant proximity, and is the logical choice.

In addition, restaurants, pubs and shops might be built over the garages, as the site is evaluated. Big bucks are needed and fi nancing will be a concern, with cost estimates in the $120-200 million range.

There is a great opportu-nity for private and corpo-rate donors to step up, and help build and name a new sports facility. They could build a legacy project that will serve millions over the next 50 years.

Alternatively, managing public debt load will be a public concern.Nick Della Volpe, a lawyer, represents

Early voting starts today (Feb. 10) and the election is March 1 for two county-wide offi ces and two school board seats. It’s called an off-year election, and back when voters were smart enough to elect a school su-perintendent, that race was on this ballot, too.

It’s fi tting that the county-wide races will be decided in the Republican Primary, because one is fratricidal as Republicans struggle with what historian Bruce Wheel-er termed the “otherness” of Appalachian life – the tug between modernization and tradition.

Wheeler wrote, in refer-ence to the Butcher bank-ing failure, “(Many openly gloated over Butcher’s fall, but others) did not want to return to the past of hostil-ity to change, of an enor-mously conservative bank-ing community, of a city closed to outsiders and new ideas.”

Wheeler simplifi ed the contrast to Cas Walker (tra-ditionalist) and those Cas

The county law direc-tor’s contest is only in the GOP primary on March 1 with early voting beginning today.

It is a two-way race between Bud Armstrong

and Nathan Rowell. No Democrat is running.

Rowell has raised more money than Armstrong, the incum-bent, hav-

ing defeated Joe Jarret four years ago. Armstrong, 65, is married and lives with his wife, Patti Jo, in the Ramsey community of East Knox County.

Over coffee at Panera re-cently (I spoke with Rowell a few weeks earlier) he was clearly proud of his record and reducing costs in the county law director’s offi ce. He says he has saved over $1 million in cutting the use of outside legal counsel. Cost is down to $260,000 a year.

He says settlement costs are down from $700,000 a year to $300,000. When asked why, he says, “I don’t blink as easily. If you are going to get taxpayers’ money you have to earn it.”

The offi ce has 20 em-ployees with nine of them being hired by Armstrong. He says he did not force anyone to depart after he took offi ce. He took over the delinquent tax attorney duties from the trustee’s offi ce and has saved over $200,000 a year. In the past, farming out the delin-quent tax attorney duties to a private attorney was a lucrative benefi t to the attorney. He says over $11 million in delinquent taxes have been collected over his four years as law director.

Rowell is backed by much of the GOP fi nancial leadership and friends of outgoing school Superin-tendent Jim McIntyre. They succeeded in electing Tracie Sanger to the school board last year, a non-partisan race. Armstrong has much of the traditional GOP worker base helping him plus Phyllis Severance, who is effective in running local campaigns. Armstrong is

Candidates at last week’s League of Women Voters debate: Andrew Graybeal, Jim Weaver and John Whitehead are running for

property assessor; Nathan Rowell and Richard “Bud” Armstrong are challenging for law director.

Election is political and that’s OK

called “the silk-stocking crowd.” Those images still work.

Property Assessor: Andrew Graybeal, the up-start, says “this offi ce hasn’t had a fresh set of eyes in 37 years.” And then he runs an endorsement ad from Glen-da Strader, wife of the late Parkey Strader, assessor from 1972 to 2000.

John Whitehead was Parkey’s deputy and served as assessor from 2000-08 until term-limited. He hired Parkey as his chief deputy, even while he served in the Legislature, until Strader’s death in 2009.

Former county com-missioner Phil Ballard was elected and has served from 2008-16, now term-limit-ed. Jim Weaver is his chief deputy. Weaver won’t say

whether he will hire Bal-lard, which probably means he will.

Graybeal says too many assessments are too high. High assessments are never the problem. Property own-ers will appeal those. The corruption comes from as-sessments that are too low, giving special property owners a break while shift-ing taxes to homeowners and farms.

There are no silk stock-ings in this crowd. Just pick a Cas.

Law Director: Nathan Rowell wears silk stock-ings, while Bud Armstrong’s socks have holes – he’s been working a lifetime to pull himself up by those socks and bootstraps.

Financial disclosures show Rowell funded by large donors, primarily the folks unhappy about the de-parture of Superintendent Dr. Jim McIntyre. When he talked about “the political climate,” McIntyre meant Bud Armstrong. Those same donors are all over

the fi nancial disclosures of school board candidates Grant Standefer and Reu-ben “Buddy” Pelot as well.

Rowell has the experi-ence to serve as law direc-tor, but Armstrong has surprised many by han-dling the job well in his fi rst term. The law director does not make policy. He or she simply gives advice, when asked, and represents the county in litigation.

Armstrong moved the delinquent tax attorney in-house, saving the county the outrageous fees paid private practitioners (including Rowell’s fi rm) in the past; he created a workers’ comp de-partment and brought pre-viously out-sourced work in-house. He’s proud of his record of winning, rather than settling, what he calls nuisance lawsuits.

Rowell says he can run the offi ce better than Arm-strong. But somehow, when perusing his donor list, we think he would just give dif-ferent advice. And that, my friends, is political.

Armstrong battles to hold job

favored but Rowell is in the contest with an ample war chest.

This contest proves again that the offi ce should be fi lled by the county mayor with county commission confi rmation. Some of the issues in this campaign have little to do with the qualifi cations of either candidate.

Now is the time for a charter amendment, so the new county mayor in 2020 can appoint the law direc-tor. Knox County voters would have to approve such an amendment.

■ Two prior Knox County law directors have become state judges. They are Dale Workman, now retired, and Mike Moyers, chancellor. One city law director, Thomas Varlan, became a federal judge.

■ Ohio Gov. John Kasich will speak at the Knox County Lincoln Day dinner on Saturday Feb. 27, at Rothchild’s. As of this writing he is still a candi-date for president. Whether he will still be a candidate at month’s end, he will still be an interesting and informed speaker based on his service in the U.S. House and as governor.

■ Former U.S. Sen. Bill Brock and his wife, Sandy, now divide their time between Palm Beach, Florida, in the winter and Annapolis, Maryland, the rest of the year.

Recently I had coffee with him in Florida. He keeps up with Tennessee events and his son Oscar Brock is a Rubio delegate candidate in the March 1 primary. He also backs Rubio for president.

Brock also served as Secretary of Labor and U.S. Trade Representative under President Reagan. He chaired the Republican National Committee. At 85, he is Tennessee’s oldest liv-ing senator and is in excel-lent health, walking several miles every day.

Some of Cynthia Moxley’s clients do business with lo-cal government, so she and her husband and business partner, Alan Carmichael, usually steer clear of elec-tion skirmishes unless someone named Haslam or Duncan – families with whom the Carmoxes have deep and long-standing per-sonal and professional con-nections – is running.

Their fi rm has a substan-tial online presence (Mox-ley has won numerous so-cial media awards), and its website describes Moxley Carmichael as “East Ten-nessee’s premier public re-lations fi rm, providing com-prehensive communications services to companies with a local, regional and national footprint. Founded in 1992, we’ve helped businesses and organizations increase vis-ibility and achieve desirable results.”

Last week, Moxley Car-michael’s blog, The Blue Streak, set tongues wag-ging by making a deep dive into the middle of the most

The race for law director: Did somebody call 911?

contentious local race of 2016, the Republican pri-mary contest for law direc-tor between incumbent Bud Armstrong and challenger Nathan Rowell.

Moxley and Carmichael entered the fray by sponsor-ing a reception for Rowell, and covering it on The Blue Streak. Moxley (who began her career as a newspaper reporter) hammered on the theme that Rowell, who has never before run for of-fi ce, is a professional, not a politician, and entered the race only after much soul searching and urging from his professional colleagues and friends.

“Friends, a law director needs to stand above poli-tics, not be a tool of it. The issues are too important for advice that shifts with po-litical winds. The people of

Knox County deserve rep-resentation that is based on the best legal advice possi-ble — independent of special interests,” Moxley wrote.

Clearly, the choir to whom Moxley is preaching doesn’t hang out in the courthouse, and her sponsorship of the Rowell fundraiser did not sit well with county politi-cos, most of whom like and support Armstrong, who also enjoys strong support from Mayor Tim Burchett. The majority of County Commission likes Arm-strong, too, and there has been growling about what might happen the next time a Moxley Carmichael client appears before that body.

This prospect doesn’t seem to faze Moxley, who gave a cryptic response when asked why she has taken this unusual step:

“What else can he do to me?”

In November, the E-911 board refused to award the Harris Corporation, a Mox-ley Carmichael client, a con-tract to provide a new radio

system for Knox County even though the inde-pendent ra-dio consul-tant hired to rank the appl ic a nt s rated Harris No. 1.

And this is probably

at the heart of Moxley’s beef with Armstrong, who, as the Shopper News reported Nov. 17, was approached a few months before the vote by Mike Arms, a lobby-ist who represents Harris’s strongest competitor, Mo-torola, with three names to fi ll board vacancies. Arm-strong passed these names along to the mayor’s offi ce, and they got the appoint-ments.

When questioned, Arm-strong said he would have done the same for Moxley, had she brought him some names, an explanation that doesn’t impress Moxley.

These dots connect themselves.

was Knox County Reg-

ister of Deeds (1950-

Raymond Clifford “Cliff” White, born on June 5, 1892, was the son of Frank A. White (1854-1937) and Angeline Murphy White (1863-1941). Cliff was raised on his parents’ farm in the Hendron’s Chapel Commu-nity of Knox County near the Sevier County line, the seventh of the nine children who lived to adulthood.

He had barely completed his education in the local schools and begun his life’s work when World War I, one of the deadliest confl icts in history, began in Europe in July 1914.

More than 70 million military personnel, includ-ing 60 million Europeans, were mobilized. Before the war ended on Nov. 11, 1918, over nine million combat-ants and seven million ci-vilians had died as a result of the war. Originally, the confl ict opposed Britain, France and Russia (the Al-lies) against Germany and Austria-Hungary (the Cen-tral Powers). Eventually Italy, Japan and the United States joined the Allies and the Ottoman Empire and Bulgaria joined the Central Powers.

Casualty rates were amplifi ed by the effective weaponry that followed technological and indus-trial advances in all the great powers. Additionally, the grueling form of trench warfare developed by 1916 placed the German defend-ers at a tactical advantage.

Although the United States initially pursued a policy of non-intervention, that policy began to change when 128 Americans were lost at sea in the sinking of the British liner RMS Lusitania on May 7, 1915, by a German submarine. President Woodrow Wilson warned that the U.S. would

R. Cliff White: soldier, entrepreneur, leader

not tolerate unrestricted submarine warfare. But, after seven U.S. merchant ships were sunk by subma-rines, he called for a decla-ration of war and the U.S. Congress declared war on April 6, 1917.

The U.S. eventually drafted 2.8 million men and, by the last two years of the war, 10,000 Ameri-can soldiers were reaching France each day. Among them were the members of the 105th Trench Mortar Battery, raised locally and attached to Gen. Cary Spen-ce’s 30th Infantry Division.

Capt. Ambrose Gaines was the driving force in the recruitment and organiza-tion of the unit between July and September, 1916, when the U.S. entry into the war seemed imminent. Un-der the command of Capt. Thomas F. Hazen Jr, they were fi rst sent to Texas for border patrol early in 1917, but soon returned to Knox-ville. Although the average age of the 183 soldiers was only 18 years, their com-mander later called them the “fi ghting fools” and said, “The rougher it went, the better they liked it.”

The 105th Battery was called to state service July 25, 1917, and then to federal service August 5, 1917. After extensive training at Camp Sevier near Greenville, S.C., the unit boarded ship and docked at LeHarve, France, on June 14, 1918, and was assigned to the Western Front at Monol la Tour on Aug. 24, 1918.

Gen. John Pershing’s American Expeditionary Force (AEF) conducted some of its fi rst operations upon arriving in France in the St. Mihiel Offensive (Sept. 9-17, 1918). The Ger-mans had established the St. Mihiel salient which se-riously interrupted French rail communications be-tween Paris and the eastern segments of the front in the fall of 1914. To continue the drive toward the Hinden-burg Line at the border of Germany, Pershing needed to relieve that major ob-stacle.

The 105th Trench Mor-tar Battery engaged in their fi rst combat at St. Mihiel on Sept. 17 at 2:30 a.m. when they fi red about 1,000 rounds at enemy troops. When the battle ended, Pershing’s Army had taken 15,000 prisoners and cap-tured 257 guns at a cost of about 7,000 casualties. They moved on to the Ar-gonne Forest.

Following the Argonne Battle, the 105th replaced the 101st Trench Mortar Battery and held their posi-tion until Nov. 15, 1918, four days after the armistice. The 105th arrived back in the United States March 3, 1919, aboard the Battleship Michigan on her last voyage and moved from Newport News, Va. to Fort Ogletho-rpe, Ga. where the group was demobilized four days later.

Many years later, on 50th anniversary of Armistice Day (1968), these members of the 105th would meet to reminisce about their service in the “War to End All Wars.” Those present were: R. Cliff White; Earl Dawson, plant manager of Ideal Cleaners; Harry W. Carr, an employee of Knox-ville Utilities Board; Frank

“Pete” Lockett, president of the now defunct Jefferson Woolen Mills, and Frank Stansberry, former man-ager of John Tarleton Insti-tute.

R. Cliff White founded and managed the Fountain City Hardware until he sold it to John T. Roos in 1949. He married Edith Gray (1905-2000) who became owner and manager of an-other Fountain City land-mark, the Village Vendors.

A pillar of his communi-ty, White was elected Knox County Register of Deeds and served two terms (1950-1958). He was also a charter member of the Fountain City Lions Club and a recipi-ent of an honorary lifetime membership, a longtime member of the Fountain

City Park Commission and its president for a time, and a member of St. Paul’s Methodist Church.

R. Cliff White, 82, passed away on Dec. 26, 1974, at the University Hospital af-ter a brief battle with can-cer. He was survived by his wife, Edith Gray White, and two daughters, Doris (Da-vid) Dodson of Paducah, Ky. and Mary Ann (Donald) Connors of Harvard, Mass. After services at Gentry Mortuary, he was buried in Lynnhurst Cemetery.

Our culture has turned so many of our holy days into holidays that it is rare that we approach a true holy day. Today is one, however. Ash Wednesday is a day of repentance and contempla-tion, and in some commu-nions, a day of fasting.

The origins of repentance go back to the beginning. When Adam and Eve dis-obeyed the commandment not to eat of the tree in the middle of the Garden, they were punished by being banished from the Garden and all its ease and security. Suddenly they were out in the world, on their own to provide for themselves by the sweat of their brows, and subject to hunger and pain and death.

It is a humbling thing to have ashes imposed on one’s forehead, and to be reminded of one’s disobe-dience and sinfulness. It is also humbling (and itchy!) to wear that mark all day, confessing one’s sinfulness to the whole world.

Dust and ashes

It is some consolation that we are all in the same boat: that we have all fallen short, sinned, messed up, failed. We have disappoint-ed our Lord, ourselves, and others by our shortcomings.

The only remedy for this situation is forgiveness – forgiveness all the way around. We need to ask God for forgiveness, our family and friends for forgiveness, and – God help us – our enemies for forgiveness, as well.

Then comes the hard part: we have to forgive. If we can admit we have failed, that we are not perfect, we have to realize that others will fail, too. So, we have to forgive them. It’s right there in the Lord’s Prayer: “… for-give us as we forgive.”

Then I turned to the Lord God, to seek an answer by prayer and supplication with fasting and sack-cloth and ashes. (Daniel 9: 3 NRSV)

OneLife Church is ‘hospital for the hurting’By Cindy Taylor

The Rev. Tyler Goode says the ultimate goal of OneLife Church Powell is to make a dent in the popula-tion of un-churched people in Knoxville.

“Our long-term goal is to see the church plant a cam-pus within 15 minutes of ev-ery person in Knox County. I would love to see our next plant in another part of Knoxville within the next two years.”

Goode has been with OneLife Church more than six years. But that wasn’t part of his plan when he moved to Knoxville to at-tend the University of Ten-nessee. He earned a degree in Industrial Engineering but toward the end of his college years felt pulled in a different direction.

“I was heavily involved in the Baptist Collegiate Min-istry at UT,” he said. “That is where my love of ministry started.”

pus pastor the Rev. Tyler

Goode. Photo submitted

Goode fi nished his degree but two months after gradu-ation accepted a position with Grace Baptist Church in the media department. He had met OneLife lead pastor the Rev. Rodney Ar-nold during college. The two had often talked about their dream of starting a church together.

When OneLife Church

launched in September 2009 Goode soon began the transition from the media department at Grace Baptist into the role of creative di-rector for OneLife Church.

When the church grew and launched a campus in Powell, Arnold was left with carrying the role of lead pastor as well as overseeing the day-to-day operations of the Powell campus. Goode knew it was time to make a change.

“I felt God calling me to step up,” he said. “I made the offer to take on the role of campus pastor at Powell and our ministry leadership team decided that was the best solution.”

That was eight months ago. Although it is part of his ministry, Goode says he has never been comfortable speaking in front of people. His favorite thing about his role at OneLife Church Pow-ell is seeing people discover a new life because of Jesus

and then ministering to them as they learn what it means to lead others to faith in Christ.

“I love that I get to be part of that. Seeing how their ‘one life’ can make a dif-ference,” he said. “OneLife Church loves being a hospi-tal for the hurting.”

Goode met his wife, Lisa, when she served as a volun-teer at the church in 2009. Two years later they were married. The two contin-ue to minister together at OneLife Church Powell.

“I love the city of Knox-ville and its surrounding communities,” said Goode. “I would love to look back 30 years from now and see that Knoxville would not be the same without all of the churches making a differ-ence. I hope OneLife Church is part of that legacy.”

Ashley Helton will soon hit the one year mark as a pastor at Christ United Methodist Church. She felt called into ministry at the young age of 15 but says stepping into the calling of pastor wasn’t so simple. She says it wasn’t until seminary, seven years after her initial calling, that she realized she was called to be a pastor.

“I am skeptical of people who say they have always wanted to be a full-out pastor,” she said. “Initially I thought I would go into youth or college ministry so I considered Young Life and various camp positions.”

Helton said that when she told her grandmother of her calling the matriarch’s eyes fi lled with tears. Hel-ton expected to hear the worst.

Instead, she heard the story of how her grand-mother had always felt called into ministry. As a Southern Baptist woman in the early 1900s she was not allowed to pursue such a calling.

“My grandmother said she prayed every day since 1943 that a family member would be called into minis-try.

“Fifty-three years later that call landed on me.”

Helton’s past ministry history included work with the homeless and non-prof-its. She says she thought that she might be able to ap-pease her ministerial call by lobbying or being on staff for a non-profi t. But that was not to be.

“That full-out pastor gig kept creeping back into my mind’s eye and my heart’s center.”

Helton majored in reli-gious studies at Maryville College before applying to

Ashley Helton accepts ‘full-out’ calling

seminary. She holds a Mas-ter of Divinity from The School of Theology at The University of The South, Sewanee. She was placed at Christ UMC in June 2015. She still says that she didn’t really choose ministry.

“I believe ministry of-ten chooses you,” she said. “Anne McKee, the chaplain at Maryville College, told me that if I could do any-thing else I should do it. I am in ministry and an or-dained elder at Christ UMC because I have yet to fi nd anything else that I can do.”

Helton says what she most loves about her call-ing is that she gets to spend time with people as a part of her job. She says it doesn’t seem fair that she gets paid to do that; but she’s not complaining.

“Being a pastor is more than being involved in wor-ship services and visiting people. I don’t love the desk work but I am lucky to work with a brilliant team at Christ Church who make my desk time as minimal as pos-sible.

“The congregation is one of the best I have encoun-tered. The church has a

heart and it did not take my husband and me long to feel its warmth.”

Malicoat signs with Johnson CollegePowell High senior

Noah Malicoat signed to play base-ball at Joh n s on U n i v e r -sity on Nat ional S i g n i n g Day.

T h e Panther’s left-hand-

ed pitcher and fi rst base-man was called a “versa-tile player and very good pitcher” by coach Jay Scarbro. “Noah came to Powell High during his sophomore year and has been a key part of the two district championship teams. He’s a real team guy. He didn’t start high

school at Powell, but he’s all Powell now.”

Noah selected John-son because it had a nice, small town feel to him and is based on religion which is important to him. He plans to study business or communica-tions while in college with hopes of working in the sports business or enter-tainment fi eld.

While playing at Pow-ell, Noah has learned to be a good leader and ex-ample for others and a witness to everyone. At-tending the signing were his parents Steve and Julie Malicoat, his sister Sara, grandparents, an aunt and uncle, cousins and his teammates.

Up until the other eve-ning, I had never heard of the word subitize. It means to perceive at a glance the number of items presented. It was explained as looking at a group of dots and know-ing how many were present.

Thanks to teachers at West Haven Elementary, I have learned a new word and its meaning. Parents and students gathered at the school recently to work together on math facts and played games to make learning even more fun.

Students worked on building numbers for the 100 space value, worked on fractions and practiced add-ing and recognizing greater values, establishing a sense of numbers and even work-ing on letter formation in the younger grades.

Can you subitize?

M any couples go out for a night on the town in celebration of Valentine’s

Day. Romance typically prevails on such nights, but there’s more to planning Valen-tine’s Day dates than just roses and choco-late. The following are a few tips to make sure this year’s Valentine’s Day date night goes off without a hitch.

■ Make a dinner reservation. Restaurants fi ll up on Valentine’s Day, so make a reserva-tion no matter how frequently you may pa-tronize the place you want to go to. Nothing derails a dinner date more quickly than being told there are no tables available.

■ Cancel the reservation if you must. If plans change and you cannot make it, be re-spectful of the restaurant and call to cancel your reservation. No-shows cost restaurants substantial amounts of money, especially on popular dining out nights like Valentine’s Day.

Valentine’s night out planning pointersvice to pick you up after dinner or use public transportation. Drinking and driving is dan-gerous, and local law enforcement may even have checkpoints set up to protect residents from drivers who might have celebrated a bit too much.

■ Bring cash. Few restaurants remain cash-only, but bring cash with you anyway just in case your card won’t swipe correctly. You don’t want to embarrass your date by leaving the restaurant to go get some cash, so prepare for this in advance.

■ Review the menu. If you or your date has special dietary needs, peruse a restau-rant’s menu before making a reservation so you know there’s something for both of you. If Valentine’s Day is a fi rst date, ask your date in advance if he or she has any food allergies or dietary restrictions.

Explore flower meanings for Valentine giving

C ome mid-February, fl orist deliv-ery trucks can be seen making the rounds through neighborhoods all

across the country. Such trucks are trans-porting thousands of bouquets, plants and other fl oral arrangements that serve as gifts on Valentine’s Day.

According to the Retail Advertising and Marketing Association, fl orists take in

around $400 million in revenue on Valen-tineÕs Day. Roses may be the most popu-lar fl ower come Valentine’s Day, but many other blooms fi nd their way into the hearts of excited celebrants as well.

Flowers can be used to convey love, friendship, compassion, and desire. In Victorian times, fl owers were given spe-cifi c meanings because only a few exotic

fl owers were readily available, and many of these meanings have with-stood the test of time. Giving a type of fl ower that signifi es you just want to be friends may not bode well for a relationship when the recipient was hoping for more. As a result, it pays to understand the subtle meaning of fl owers to make gift-giving easier.

The Society of American Florists has compiled the above list of fl ower meanings from various sources. But in spite of these meanings, keep in mind you can always work with a fl orist to design a personal arrange-ment that speaks directly to that special someone this Valentine’s Day.

Like everyone else who occupies a place where the proverbial buck stops, UT Athletic Director Dave Hart has a record of doing things that lots of people agree with, and other things that a lot of people don’t.

Dr. Bob Collier

So what does the ambig-uous weather around here have to do with say, birds at your winter feeder? In a word, snow. If you’re a bird that expects to be able to fi nd natural food all winter, it’s hard to handle the unex-pected. Snow doesn’t hap-pen regularly around here, but when it does, it wreaks havoc on man and beast.

My memories of win-ter in Knoxville, which by now span quite a number of decades, usually include clouds, gloom, dampness and chilly rain, seemingly on and on without end. The few snow events we have had usually stand out in our memories; for example, a trio of mine:

The rain and gloom were interrupted, in the winter of 1951-52, by the answer to a 7th grader’s prayers, when one morning after we had settled in to school for the day, it began to snow, really pour snow. They let school out at noon (but no school busses ran). We gleefully walked home as the snow piled ever higher, power was off for days, Mom cooked on

a Coleman stove, school was out for days. Glorious.

Snow became less fun during the winter of 1958-59, as three of my friends and I commuted to UT from the Inskip area in a 1950 Plymouth. It snowed every week that February, and the snow was often deep enough to be even with the faith-ful car’s running boards (remember those?) But we were young, and it was still an adventure.

Things got really tedious during the Blizzard of ’93, in the late spring. It was a real zinger that even Buf-falo would have been proud of, with 3-foot snow drifts and temperatures as cold as Alaska. We were bottle-feeding a baby calf that had arrived the day before the storm, we didn’t see the ground for days, we could only get around on the trac-tor, and a lot of the winter-ing birds perished. By that one, we were defi nitely over snow.

All these episodes and many others are normal daily winter life to those folks in Nebraska, Min-

nesota and New England, who probably wouldn’t have noticed any of those except maybe the big blizzard.

If you know that the ground will be covered with snow from Thanksgiving till the next April it’s one thing; some select species of birds and animals (and human beings) are equipped to tol-erate that sort of thing and do just fi ne in what seem to us, unbelievable condi-tions. But to be accustomed to big fi elds and roadsides rich with all sorts of seeds and creeping edible things, and have all that disappear overnight under even an inch or two of snow, can be a very big, even life-and-death, catastrophe.

The birds can tell when a big snow is coming. Vet-eran bird-feeders know that snow, with most of the nat-ural food out there covered over, brings a huge increase in activity at their feeders, and it often begins a day or more before any snow actually falls, as the birds’ built-in detectors sense in-creasing clouds and wind, falling barometric pres-

Snow time:May we all keep our feeders full

sures, falling temperatures. So these erratic and aggra-vating snow events, tough on the birds, can be a real boon to the feeder-watchers out there.

Once you’ve plowed your way through the crowds at the grocery store and obtained your life-giving bread and milk (one per-son suggested to me that all those people were going to make milk and bread sand-wiches), you can sit back and watch all the action out there around your (hope-fully) well-stocked feeders.

Often during a snow storm you will see lots greater numbers of your usual birds. Where you might be used to 5 or 6 car-dinals, you will see 25 or 30. White-throated sparrows? Instead of 6 or 8, maybe 18. And two or three times the usual number of chickadees and titmice, fi nches, thrash-ers, towhees and so on.

There are often birds in the snow that you seldom see otherwise. This last snow brought out three husky, colorful fox spar-rows under our feeders; we never see them in good weather. We had a pair of purple fi nches, some dark-

eyed juncos, a couple of red-winged blackbirds and sev-eral fi eld sparrows.

Everyone has to eat, and some prefer fresh meat. Which led to our most re-markable feeder spectacle of the recent snow. At one of the morning highs of feeder frenzy, with maybe 60 birds at or below the feeders, in roared a sharp-shinned hawk like a feath-ered missile, panic-strick-en birds scattering in all directions.

Apparently missing its intended target and with-out even breaking stride, the small hawk blasted right through a backup dense spruce tree as if it weren’t there, and was gone. The event was over in 3 or 4 seconds, leaving the aban-doned feeder area looking as if there had never ever been a single bird there.

Winter feeding can be a lot of fun, very rewarding, and also immensely help-ful to the birds, especially when one of our infrequent snow happenings comes in and covers the pantry with a layer of that cold, white, and potentially deadly stuff.

May we all keep our feed-ers full.

One of the latest fl aps has been over the marginal state of the grass on Shields-Watkins Field. The usual questions came up, such as why can’t we keep it looking like a putting green? … and, who’s to blame?

Director Hart came up with a press statement about why, and I agree heartily, at least with that part of his argument. He said something like, when it comes to growing things “in this area of the country we are in a no-man’s land.”

Well, amen to that. And it’s not just about stadium grass, as you all already know. It’s about garden, fruit trees, you name it.

One year your early-planted spinach gets frozen solid just as it’s ready to pick; the next year it’s so hot the spinach bolts and goes to seed before half of it can be harvested. A few select spots can grow apples ev-ery year (think Cosby) and maybe a few peaches here and there, but mostly we’re in a zone that can’t decide if it’s a cool climate or a warm climate. And it probably is, just over the next ridge.

By Betsy PickleHollywood star power

helped heat up the chilly streets of Clinton recently.

Cameron Boyce, star of the Disney XD series “Gamer’s Guide to Pretty Much Everything,” came to shoot a “Be Inspired” short now airing on Disney XD and the Disney Channel in recognition of Black His-tory Month.

The young actor’s grand-mother, Jo Ann Allen Boyce, was one of “the Clinton 12,” the fi rst African-American students to integrate Clin-ton High School in 1956. The two of them, along with Cameron’s parents and sis-ter, visited the Green McA-doo Cultural Center and other sites in Clinton to shoot footage for the short fi lm.

The cultural center is in the former Green McAdoo School, which started out as a segregated elementary school for African-Ameri-can children in 1935. After

years of deterioration, it was renovated and reopened as a museum and cultural cen-ter in 2006.

Marilyn Hayden, ad-ministrator of the McAdoo center, says Disney got in touch with her in December to ask if it would be possible to come and shoot. It turned out to be a whirlwind visit; they arrived on Jan. 5, shot all day Jan. 6 and departed on Jan. 7.

“They used the class-room where you fi rst walk through the door” to fi lm interviews with the Boyce family, Hayden said. They also fi lmed the family by the statues of the Clinton 12 in front of the center and downtown by the histori-cal marker on the cold but sunny day.

Clinton was the fi rst high school in the South to be desegregated following the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in Brown v. Board of Educa-tion, which found that hav-ing separate high schools

for blacks and whites was unconstitutional. The Clin-ton 12 faced angry pro-seg-regationists, many of whom came from out of town, as they walked to and from school, and they even re-ceived death threats.

Hayden, who observed the day’s fi lming, was al-ready familiar with 16-year-old Boyce’s work. In addition to “Gamer’s,” he has starred in the TV series “Jessie” and guested on many others. He also has appeared in movies such as “Grown Ups” and “Grown Ups 2” with Adam Sandler, “Eagle Eye” with Shia LaBeouf and “Mirrors” with Kiefer Sutherland.

“I actually watch some of the stuff he’s in,” Hayden said. “He’s a cutie. He’s nice, really friendly.”

Although some people connected to the Clinton 12 – including Oak Ridge-based fi lmmaker Keith Mc-Daniel, whose documentary “The Clinton 12” debuted 10 years ago – were aware that

By Carol ShaneWho doesn’t love Rodg-

ers & Hammerstein? This weekend, as part of the News Sentinel Pops Series, the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra will present an evening of the duo’s music under the baton of Maestro

James Fel-l e n b a u m . Also per-forming will be Broad-way stars Alli Mauzey, Gary Mauer and Wil-liams Mi-chals, as well as the C a r s o n -N e w m a n Universit y A Cappella Choir.

K S O m e m b e r s are gearing up. They have favor-ite songs as well as fond m e m o r i e s associated with the songwriting team.

“I fell in love with all of the songs

in ‘Oklahoma!’” says cel-list Stacy Nickell Miller. “I spent endless hours in the pit when our high school in Salina, Kansas, put on the production.” Miller admits she’s partial to the song “Kansas City” since she was indeed a Kansas girl, and she also likes “I Can’t Say No.”

“The lyrics are hilarious and I still love to sing it to my friends. You don’t have

to be a great singer to sing that one. As a matter of fact it is better if you are not!”

Flutist Cynthia D’Andrea likes it too. “It always makes me laugh,” she says. “‘With or without the mistletoe, I’m in a holiday mood.’ No apology needed!”

Cellist Andy Bryenton mentions “‘March of the Siamese Children’ from ‘The King and I.’ Such an earworm. I rehearsed that musical all day on my 18th birthday.”

Violinist Elizabeth Farr likes “Out of My Dreams” from “Oklahoma!” be-cause “it’s such a wonderful waltzy song of youth and hope of love” She’s also par-tial to “Hello, Young Lovers” from “The King and I” and “I’m Gonna Wash That Man Right Outta My Hair” from “South Pacifi c” because “it’s got a great beat and it’s so optimistic for the break-up. There are no bad R&H songs, I think!”

“I like ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone,’” says violinist Mary Ann Fennell. She remem-bers that she particularly loved the Lettermen’s ver-sion, “being a sentimental teenager at the time.”

The concert will also include music from Ham-merstein’s collaboration with Jerome Kern in “Show-boat,” as well as Rodgers’ collaborations with Lorenz Hart. Rodgers was by all ac-counts something of a musi-cal workaholic. Fortunately for everyone he eventually found his ideal “word man,” Oscar Hammerstein.

When asked to list her favorite R&H moments, cellist Alice Stuart names “Something Good” from “The Sound of Music.” Any-

crude and sexual content, a scene of exaggerated vio-

lence, and brief strong language.

Boyce and the Disney crew were in town, most resi-dents didn’t know till after they’d left.

“Now the video’s out, so pretty much everybody knows it now,” said Hayden.

It’s not as though the fi lmmakers were looking for crowds of extras.

“It was a ‘Be Inspired’ vid-eo, so it was mainly about Jo Ann and her grandson and their interaction, and her as his hero.

“It was inspiring to see that Jo Ann and her grand-son had that connection and how proud he was of the fact that she took a stand on

something.”Hayden says the Holly-

wood visit was a success.“Jo Ann was able to ac-

tually bring her grandkidsto see what she had been apart of,” she said. “I thinkit also gave our center somerecognition, so I think it wasa win-win for everyone.”

ding day. Photo submitted

Knoxville sisters Em-ily Campen and Mary Beth Reagan are busily prepar-ing for Valentine’s Day when they expect to deliver some 10,000 roses.

They’ve recruited help from their mom, Dr. Sarah Dugger, a retired dentist who now “helps out around the shops,” said Campen.

The entrepreneuers own and operate The Flower Pot and Betty’s Florist.

They begin by receiving truckloads of product to be-gin prepping their stores for the big day, Reagan wrote.

“Holiday help is hired, brightly colored red and pink vases are unpacked and fresh fl owers are ordered.

“The Flower Pot and Bet-ty’s staff work around the clock to fi ll over 1,000 or-ders that are usually deliv-ered on Feb. 14 and the days leading up to it.”

Drivers arrive at dawn, she said.

Both businesses are vi-tal parts of their neighbor-hoods in downtown, Old North and South Knox. The

News from the Rotary Guy

By Tom KingKnoxville’s Volunteer

Rotary Club was part of a very spe-cial “Pass the Leash” c e r e m o n y r e c e n t l y when the S m o k y M o u n t a i n S e r v i c e

Dog’s 2-year-old Black Lab-rador, Brice, was presented to U.S. Air Force veteran Ted Farley.

Attending the January ceremony at the Tellico Vil-lage Community Church from Volunteer Rotary was president Ed Lay along with members John Burgess, Willard Sitton and Earl Kear. Burgess and Sitton, both veter-ans, were part of the Pass the Leash cer-emony. Also attending was District 6780 Gover-nor Beth Stubbs.

Last fall Volunteer Ro-tary raised $12,500 to fund a veteran placement spon-sorship. Mike Kitchens is the volunteer chair of the Smoky Mountain Service Dogs Inc. The organization

Volunteer Rotary joins ‘Pass the Leash’trains and provides ser-vice dogs for veterans with physical and/or psychologi-cal disabilities. These dogs – usually golden retrievers or Labrador retrievers – are custom-trained mobility as-sistance service dogs.

Farley was a jet engine aviation mechanic who was seriously injured when re-sponding to an emergency fuel leak on a B-1 bomber and was doused with jet aviation fuel and also in-gested it. The accident left him with some disabilities. With him at the ceremony were his wife, Jessica, and their three children – Tyler, Aiden and Cami.

“Brice will give Ted a lot of mobility assistance and help

with his balance and sta-bility as well as helping him go up and down steps and also will re-trieve specifi c items for

him,” Kitchens said.“This ceremony is the

culmination of the efforts and resources of a lot of folks. It allows us to honor the donors – in this case Volunteer Rotary – and to honor the veteran and the dog and also the volunteers who help train the dog.”

He added that the train-ing for a service dogs takes between 1,500 and 1,800 hours over a two-year pe-riod. The lead SMSD trainer is Heather Wilkerson. The other trainers are Susan Shemwell and Daniel John-ston. All three were at the ceremony.

■ This is a reminder that members of the seven Knoxville Rotary clubs will be working together for a World Rotary Day Work Day at Ridgedale Alterna-tive School, 4600 Ridgedale Road in Knoxville, on Satur-day, Feb. 27, from 8 a.m. un-til noon (or until the work is fi nished). The work inside will include painting and some cleaning. Volunteers working outside will be in-volved in raking, mulching and planting.Tom King is a retired newspaper editor, a

By Sherry WittAfter 2015 ended with

a fl urry of real estate and lending ac-tivity, mar-ket levels returned to a more nor-mal pace to kick off the New Year. During the month that

ended Jan. 29, there were 661 property transfers re-corded in Knox County. While that number was well below December’s volume, it still represented a 13 per-cent increase over the sales recorded last January.

The total value of proper-ty transferred was nowhere near the level recorded in December, but was a slight increase over January 2015.

News from Offi ce of Register of Deeds

For the month, nearly $153 million worth of land was sold in Knox County, com-pared to $145.5 million last January. Real estate activity historically experiences a signifi cant decline in Janu-ary after year-end rallies fade and winter takes hold. The month was also short-ened by the MLK holiday and a snowstorm that shut down commerce for a cou-ple of days.

Mortgage markets expe-rienced a similar pullback

as lending decreased from $433 million in December to about $220 million in January. Last year lend-ing markets went through essentially the same cycle as roughly $227 million was loaned during January 2015.

The most notable deed recorded during January involved the transfer of a parcel at 2116 Adair Drive in North Knoxville, also known as Adair Manor. The property was transferred to

an LLC called MFC – 2116 Adair Manor for $5.2 mil-lion. The largest mortgage loan of the month was a Deed of Trust in the amount of $24,230,700 fi nancing the Vintage Emory Road development at the corner of Central Avenue Pike and Emory Road in Powell.

Election season is upon us, and I would encourage each of you to exercise your sacred right to vote. Early voting begins Feb. 10, and Election Day is March 1.
