By Cindy Taylor It’s that time of year again.

Time for tanned skin, splashing water and the smell of coconut oil. Two pools in the Powell com-munity are open and ready for folks to dive in.

Broadacres Recreation Club and Pool is located at 7700 Cran-ley Road and is open Monday through Saturday 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Sundays 1-8 p.m. Alicia Forkum is pool manager and one of 11 lifeguards rotating duty.

“We offer memberships to anyone,” said Forkum. “Just come by the pool and a lifeguard will help you.”

Miracle MakerEmma Patterson was in her

classroom when she heard the news. Luke Warwick was sick at home, but the news made him feel a whole lot better. Principal Jamie Snyder was watching the live feed of the re-sults with 5th grade students.

“I think I felt the school shake,” Snyder says.

The school is Corryton Elementary. And the news was that the school is one of 11 chosen to pilot new technology this fall.

Mayors denysupport of bill

By Betty BeanState Rep. Steve Hall faced

pointed questions from members of the Council of West Knox County Homeowners who said they were kept in the dark about a bill that re-moves the scenic highway designa-tion from a segment of Middlebrook Pike where Tennova Healthcare has purchased land for a new hospital.

Hall said both city and county mayors knew about the bill and no one voiced opposition.

Contacted after the meeting, Knoxville Mayor Madeline Rogero said she didn’t talk to Tennova rep-resentatives or to city lobbyist Tony Thompson about the issue, and would have advised Tennova to con-sult the neighbors about their plans

Who knew? When did they know it?

had she been asked. Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett said he was not involved in the matter, and consid-ers it a city issue.

Hall said he sponsored the House bill at the request of Ten-nova vice president Jerry Askew. The bill was introduced in Janu-

ary as a caption bill, amended and passed in April. It was sponsored in the Senate by Becky Massey and Stacey Campfi eld.

“I’m a big boy. If I messed up, I messed up. The information I had, the talking points were that the Knox County mayor was informed and the city mayor was informed. I don’t think there was a homeown-ers organization on the list (of those who had been informed of the re-quested designation change).

“If the mayor had a problem, I would have balked. City lobbyist Tony Thompson was there. If there had been a problem, they would have notifi ed me about it. As far as it being ‘hush hush,’ I didn’t know that it was,” Hall said. “Nobody voiced any opposition.”

Hall said Tennova needed the scenic highway designation change because it set unacceptable limits on the heights of new buildings.

“What we did was move it one

mile because they had purchased property to build a hospital and didn’t realize until after they bought it that the zoning limits them to building no higher than 35 feet,” he said.

“This will create thousands of jobs during construction.”

Sue Mauer, the group’s vice pres-ident, chided Hall:

“Too bad the delegation in Nash-ville didn’t let word come back to Knoxville.”

Homeowners council president Margot Kline said there was more at stake than a temporary construction job bonanza, because the bill opens the door to undesirable changes.

“We are concerned with what else that might come in on their frontage – taller signs, visual clutter – things that lots of people fought hard to protect against. Although it was presented as providing a lot of jobs, it will also cost a lot of jobs,” she said.

clown car or sport a red nose, but clowning around is what David Claunch does.

Claunch held a storytelling and balloon demonstration at the Powell Branch Library on June 6. He was a hit with the kids from the word go with his “Dig it, Dug it” routine for the Dig into Reading theme.

Clowning with Claunch

Cindy Taylor

Claunch held a story-telling and balloon dem-onstration at the Powell Branch Library on June 6. He was a hit with the kids

from the word go with his “Dig it, Dug it” routine for the Dig into Reading theme.

Claunch told stories with balloon characters and launched a new part of his act he calls Story Theater, in which he invited kids to participate in the show.

When asked how long he had been doing this Claunch replied,” I got here about 10 minutes ago.” Rimshot please.

But seriously folks this man is not retired. He is cel-ebrating his 10th year as an entertainer.

“I got into this in 2003 after watching ‘Patch Ad-ams’ again with a different set of eyes,” he said. “I start-ed clowning at a children’s hospital that year and at-tended my fi rst national sto-rytelling festival in Jones-borough.”

During that 10-year pe-riod Claunch walked away from a career as an engineer to become a storyteller, bal-loon twister and clown. He makes it very clear. He did not retire as an engineer. He quit.

He performs regularly at street fairs, as a science classroom guest teach-er and at theme parks, and also takes his show to libraries and parties. Claunch entertained more than 50 children and adults during his show at the li-brary.

Several shared stories of how life used to be. Others spoke about family mem-bers who have passed away and of newborns or children who are on the way.

The club gave a cake to Greg Beeler and Rick Long, who celebrated birthdays.

The club voted to skip the meeting the fi rst week in July because of the In-dependence Day holiday. Marvin West is the planned guest speaker for the July 19 meeting and new offi cers will be inducted.

The Knox North Lions Club meets at 1 p.m. each fi rst and third Wednesday at Puleos Grill on Cedar Lane.Reach Cindy Taylor at ctaylorsn@gmail.

and connections to the ex-isting roadways.”

Wow. This road will transform Powell. It’s the biggest thing around here since the railroad came through.

Callahan off-ramps: Crews got straight to work on the ramp improvement project at Callahan Drive, and much of the grading is complete. When fi nished, northbound traffi c will have two ramp lanes off I-75, and the $1.2 million proj-ect should prevent backups onto the interstate. The contractor is APAC-Atlantic Inc. Estimated completion date is Sept. 30.

The widening of Oak Ridge Highway (SR 62) has been delayed by utility relocations, according to TDOT spokes-person Mark Nagi. Also con-tracted to APAC-Atlanta Inc., the $32 million project from Third Creek to Schaad Road is estimated to be fi nished by year’s end 2014.

Halls projects: The long-awaited widening of Maynardville Highway from Temple Acres in Halls to the Union County line is still just that – awaited.

Nagi said “the earliest this contract would be in a bid letting would be Aug. 20, 2013.” Rights-of-way

have been acquired and le-gal notice published for de-molition of structures with-in those rights-of-way. Theproject is 6.24 miles, andNagi said it more than likelywould be in a fall letting.

Meanwhile, the worstparts of the road (wheresmall cars might disappear)have been resurfaced. Ah,patience.

There’s no word on theproposed Halls connector,a Knox County project thatwas designed and punted toTDOT. It would permit a leftturn from Norris Freewayonto Maynardville Highwayby removing a swath of me-dian which includes tributetrees planted by the HallsBusiness and ProfessionalAssociation about 10 yearsago.

And there’s nothing newon the proposed intersec-tion improvements at I-640and Broadway.

Tazewell Pike: TDOThas opened bids for repav-ing SR 131 (Tazewell Pike)from SR 331 (Emory Road)to the Union County line.Apparent low bidders at theMay 24 letting were APAC-Atlantic Inc., $543,597,and Rogers Group Inc.,$568,638. As of Friday,the contract had not been

awarded.

Sam Anderson, chair of the city Civil Service Board and former Parks and Rec-reation director, is being forced off the Civil Service Board, along with Don Green, a former city police offi cer, due to residency. Both live outside the city. Anderson lives immediately adjacent to the city bound-ary while Green lives in Anderson County.

Confl ict on Civil Service board

I am trying to get to the bottom of this, but no one is owning up as to who triggered the legal opinion. It came out of nowhere and something smells.

Evidence points to Vickie Hatfi eld as the one who played the pivotal role. Here are the facts. Vickie Hatfi eld, Civil Service director, when asked if she requested the opinion, emailed back to this writer, “No one fi led a complaint or anything of that nature. It (residency issue) was inadvertently brought to my attention during a conversation about other matters. Once aware, I was unsure what to do with the information. I contacted Mike (Winchester who is the board attorney).”

Notice Hatfi eld does not say who she had this conversation with or why it came up. Anderson has lived at 1801 River Shores since he was appointed almost two years ago. It has never been a secret. It is well known that Hatfi eld and Anderson do not see eye to eye. Anderson chairs the board and was doing Hatfi eld’s evaluation which had not happened previ-ously and is due this month. Anderson had raised numerous issues on minor-ity hirings which he feels Hatfi eld did not appreciate.

Anderson’s term runs to March 31, 2016, and Green’s expires March 31 next year. Many city boards including KUB, the Airport Authority and KCDC do not require residency in the city. Over 40 percent of all city employees live outside the city. Anderson is one of the most informed persons ever to serve on this board and advocates strongly for improved minority hirings in a way few others can do.

This problem can be remedied by the city doing

a voluntary annexation of Anderson’s home which is immediately adjacent to the city or asking Rep. Joe Armstrong in the next legislative session to change the law to permit residents of Knox County who have previously worked for the city to be eligible to serve.

It is really in Mayor Rog-ero’s hands on how hard she wishes to overturn this suspicious maneuver from Hatfi eld who just happened to learn of something which had not been new for two years.

This is no way to treat Sam Anderson after years of dedicated service to the people of Knoxville. It is also a test of the current Administration’s commit-ment to correcting a bad situation. I am convinced Mayor Rogero did not want this to happen. But how will she move to overturn it is the question.

■ A public hearing is 6 p.m. today (June 10) at Sacred Heart Cathedral on Northshore Drive to discuss the future of Lakeshore Park. It’s cohosted by the city and the Lakeshore Foundation Board chaired by Dee Haslam. This is a great opportunity to learn about the future of the park as the state land is trans-ferred to the city, as well as to give input into those plans. Public is invited.

■ Former Knox-ville Vice Mayor Mark Brown, now a Knox County General Sessions Court Magistrate, is getting married Aug. 23 in Mem-phis to Chenile Crenshaw. Crenshaw attended the University of Tennessee with Brown many years ago where they fi rst met. Brown’s fi rst wife, Marcia, died almost three years ago after a lengthy illness. Brown was recently reap-pointed to a new 4-year term by the Knox County Commission. Brown was a very active and effective City Council member.

■ Court of Criminal Appeals Judge Joseph Tipton of Knoxville has advised Gov. Haslam he will not seek a new term in the August 2014 state judi-cial election. Under the law, the governor will choose from a list of three names submitted to him by June 30, 2013, before the current nominating commission goes out of business. (The Legislature failed to extend it.) The new appointee will be voted on by all Tennes-see voters in August 2014 for an 8-year term com-mencing Sept. 1, 2014.

Family guy?One wife, two kids.Religion?Arlington Church of

tant District Attorney Le-land Price, co-prosecutor in the seemingly-endless trials of the four defendants in the 2007 killing of Channon Christian and Chris New-som – probably the most notorious murder case in modern Knoxville history – is a Democrat.

Price is District Attorney Randy Nichols’ go-to guy in the most diffi cult cases, and nobody was surprised when

Leland Price

The problem with Price

he was tapped to handle the cases against the four de-fendants, two of whom had to be tried twice when Judge Richard Baumgartner was found guilty of misconduct that tainted the verdicts.

Next year, he’d like to succeed Criminal Court Judge Mary Beth Leibowitz, also a Democrat, who was appointed in 1989 by Gov. Ned McWherter and who will step down next year af-ter a distinguished career.

Judges serve 8-year terms and tend to stay put until carried out feet-fi rst, so an open seat will probably attract a lot of contenders. Few, however, will have cre-dentials that match Price’s. He is a quiet, thoughtful, smart-as-a-whip workhorse who grew up in Nashville and got an undergraduate degree in American His-tory at David Lipscomb, where he was a scholarship student. He wanted to go to

law school and was encour-aged to apply to Harvard by a professor who recognized his potential. He got his law degree in 1996.

“I just now paid off my law school loan,” Price said. “I basically mortgaged my brain.”

His fi rst job was with a fi rm in Birmingham, but he quickly decided that he wasn’t in the right place.

“I wanted to be a pros-ecutor and be in a court-room,” he said. “So I sent my resumé out across the state and Randy Nichols was the one who hired me. Now, looking back on it, it’s like it was meant to be.”

A big factor in falling in love with Knoxville was meeting his wife-to-be, Niki Humphreys, a UT student intern in the Knox County Attorney General’s offi ce. Niki, who would later go to law school, wrote weekly movie reviews for the Shopper News, and one Friday night Price invited himself to join her at the Halls Cinema.

“She says that wasn’t a date, I say it was. We start-ed meeting at the theater every Friday, and one time

we ate at the Bel Air Grill. I think she considers that our fi rst date.

“Almost instantly I knew I had made right decision (coming to Knoxville). I like Knoxville and being in East Tennessee and love hiking and UT sports. Love my job, love the town and once I met Niki, that sealed it. I wasn’t going anywhere.”

Looking at the resumé there’s only one reason why Knox Countians wouldn’t elect Leland Price to serve as Criminal Court judge, and it’s pretty damn fl imsy:

That D behind his name.

A delicious debate is heat-ing up regarding ownership of public school buildings. It’s not clear cut, and them that’s got the keys don’t want to give them up.

Who owns our schools?

the city. Can you parse ownership at Christenber-ry Elementary where the school gym is also the city recreation center and the ballfi elds are probably still mowed by Larry Cox?

Commissioner Dave Wright said (paraphrasing) that if it’s a Knox County school then Knox County obviously owns the building.

A majority of the school board would disagree. Is-sues of security, mainte-nance and even usage cloud the discussion.

Traditionally, Election Day voting happened at schools, particularly out-side the city limits where public buildings were scarce or nonexistent. A couple of decades ago, the Election Commission requested that schools be closed on Elec-tion Day to reduce problems with parking and access. The school system com-plied.

Starting in 2014, the state is requiring 180 days of ac-tual classes. So the school board is trying to tweak the calendar. It makes no sense educationally for schools to close on Election Day, a Tuesday. (By law, the Elec-tion Commission can com-mandeer public buildings and does not have to pay.)

Indya Kincannon says schools should not close on

Election Days. “It’s a unique opportunity for students to see civics in action. It’s a rare opportunity for voters to enter schools and get a glimpse of what’s happen-ing inside.

“The logistics of sharing the space are manageable,” she said, because of early voting. Also, it’s convenient for parents to vote when dropping off their kids. “And we need more parents of school-aged kids to vote.”

Board member Doug Harris also wants schools open on Election Day. The issue was so contentious that the board deferred a decision until July.

The choices are painful: start school on Friday, Aug. 8; wipe out the Wednesday holiday before Thanksgiv-ing; cut the winter break at Christmas; or extend the school year.

Staying open on Election Day has got my vote. After all, schools are safer than ever. We just anted up $1 million for armed guards at every school on every day. This might give them some-thing to do.

Meanwhile, the fuss over ownership will blossom this Thursday when the joint Education Committee of county commission and the school board meets at 4:30 p.m. in the conference room of the Andrew Johnson Building.

Here’s betting the school board wants ownership of its buildings; the commis-sioners want ownership for Knox County; and the law director’s offi ce will side with commissioners.

The Campfi eld criteriaState Sen. Stacey Camp-

fi eld takes issue with a re-cent poll of folks under 30 who expressed discomfort with the Republican Party.

In the Bloomberg Re-port, Campfi eld said, “As for youth polling, young people often say and do things completely different when they actually grow up, get a real job, begin paying taxes and start trying to raise a family.”

Campfi eld’s criteria for adulthood begs the ques-tion: When might he be planning to try it?

Elementary School to Mayor Tim Burchett. Photo by Ruth White

We’ve got schools built by the school board through taxes allocated by law to it. The school board owns those keys.

We’ve got schools like the new Carter Elementary where Knox County govern-ment stepped up and built the facility. Last week May-or Tim Burchett got the keys from the contractor. When will Burchett hand over the keys to Superintendent Dr. Jim McIntyre?

We’ve got other schools that came to the county from the former city school system. I’m not sure those deeds were ever straight-ened out. Know why? Be-cause some schools were owned by the city school board and others by the city itself. So some deeds were conveyed to the county while others stayed with

HISTORY AND MYSTERIES | Dr. Jim Tumblin

James E. Thompson (1880-1976)

“Not merely were the Thompson pictures used as powerful aids in those early days, but their use and value – and the infi nite vari-ety of subject matter – grew with the park movement. It requires no stretch of one’s imagination to realize that without the help of these magnifi cent views there might have been no national park in the Great Smokies.”

Those words are from the defi nitive history of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Carlos C. Campbell’s “Birth of a National Park in the Great Smoky Mountains” (University of Tennessee Press, 1960). A close look at James Edward “Jim” Thomp-son’s productive career will show that he was indeed the right person at the right place at the right time.

Thompson was born in Morristown on Sept. 25, 1880, the son of C. Mortimer and Hattie Stearns Thomp-son. When the family moved to Knoxville, Mortimer went to work as a city building in-spector. For a time the family lived in Blount Mansion on West Hill Avenue. Jim had completed 4th grade when he quit to go to work, fi rst for his father, and then in order to be out on his own, for a Chattanooga contractor. But he came back to Knoxville to work in drafting for the George F. Barber architec-tural fi rm.

Young Thompson was an avid amateur photogra-pher and, as a sideline, did

photo fi nishing work for his coworkers. For a time he worked for the city’s only photo supply company at the time, the O.C. Wiley Compa-ny on Gay Street. Then he set up a darkroom in a bathroom in his home at 711 E. Church St. and, when he needed more room, erected a build-ing in a lot behind the house.

His career received a real boost from his now-famous photograph of the audience attending the opening of the Bijou Theatre in 1909. As he stood on the stage of the theater facing the audience with his massive camera, he warned them not to panic when he set off the fl ash pow-der he used before fl ashbulbs were developed.

Several other local historic events, such as Gay Street’s Million-Dollar Fire (1897), the Tennessee marble exhibit for the St. Louis World’s Fair (1904) and the New Market Wreck (1904), might never have been photographed except for Thompson’s fore-

sight. He also produced nu-merous portfolios for the C.B. Atkin Mantel Company, which helped to make it the world’s largest mantel manu-facturer.

Thompson began pho-tographing in the Smokies as early as 1913, when it re-quired a two-day expedition just to reach the mountains from Knoxville 40 miles away. His heavy view cam-era required 8x10 inch glass negatives with as many as 50 negative holders and a mas-sive wooden tripod, for a load totaling about 75 pounds. On the rugged trails he usually needed one or more assis-tants with the attendant diffi -culty of keeping them nearby to capture scenes when the light was optimal.

Early in the 1920s, Thompson became a charter member of the Great Smoky Mountains Hiking Club. He was a close friend and hiking companion to two men who would be highly infl uential in establishing the national

park, Carlos C. Campbell and Col. David C. Chapman. They were also members of the Smoky Mountain Conserva-tion Association, which was working to infl uence Con-gress in its decision to estab-lish the park. Thompson was designated the “offi cial” pho-tographer because he already had a large collection of pho-tographs.

A congressional commit-tee met in Asheville, N.C., on July 30, 1924, to discuss the location of the park. Compe-tition was fi erce. Among the 30 sites under consideration was North Carolina’s Grand-father Mountain. Chapman was invited to attend and went to Thompson with these instructions:

“I want you to put all the pictures you can into the back seat of this car. I want them all put in the room where we meet.”

Thompson could barely squeeze his mural-sized photographs into the small room. Although amazed at their beauty, several mem-bers thought the colorized photographs of the sweep-ing vistas were faked and the committee chair decided to postpone the decision until he could see the area person-ally. Two committee mem-bers later journeyed deep into the rugged mountains to see exactly where the photo-graphs were made. They were particularly impressed with the panoramic view from Mt. LeConte’s Myrtle Point and Cliff Top of the Chimney Tops, Clingman’s Dome and Mt. Guyot.

The big announcement came on Dec. 13, 1924. The committee, unable to narrow the choice to just one area, recommended the establish-ment of two new parks: the fi rst in the Blue Ridge Moun-tains of Virginia (Shenan-doah National Park) and the second, and later, the Great Smoky Mountain National Park.

Much had to be accom-plished, including the pur-

chase of the land in the park’s proposed 704,000 acres. The clincher did not occur until March 22, 1927, when Col. W.B. Townsend’s Little River Lumber Com-pany sold its 76,507 acres for $273,557.97 or about $3.50 per acre. North Carolina had paid $9 to $12 per acre for similar land. When Tennes-see Gov. Austin Peay received the 151 pages of deeds for the LRLC’s property and when Tennessee’s share of the cost ($183,371.73) was paid, the establishment of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park was assured.

However, there was still much road and facility work to be done and the park wasn’t chartered by Congress until 1934. President Frank-lin D. Roosevelt spoke at the formal dedication of the park at Newfound Gap on Sept. 2, 1940. The park remains one of the largest protected areas in the eastern United States and is the most-visited na-tional park.

Thompson’s commercial photography business con-tinued to grow with up to 30 employees, many working in the colorization process. Its retail stores, the Snap Shops,

established locations on Gay Street, Clinch Avenue, Peters Road, in Western Plaza and in Gatlinburg. When Gen. Robert Neyland arrived to coach UT football in 1925, he used a rudimentary tech-nique of still photography to enhance his coaching. Jim Thompson was soon brought aboard to fi lm both practices and games and refi ned the technique, eventually intro-ducing moving pictures.

After a long and illustrious career, Thompson passed away at Park West Hospital on March 20, 1976, at age 95. He had a perfect attendance record for 40 years in the Rotary Club, was a charter member of the Smoky Moun-tains Hiking Club, served several terms as president of the Great Smoky Mountains Conservation Association, was declared a “Master of Photography” by the Pho-tographers Association of America (PAA), served on the PAA board for 12 years and was elected as its president. He was appointed to the Na-tional Park and Forest Devel-opment Commission by Gov. Frank Clement in 1953. He is interred at Highland Memo-rial Cemetery.

…then the Lord God formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and the man became a living being.

(Genesis 2: 7 NRSV)

Wherever you stand, be the soul of that place.(Rumi, 13th century Persian poet,

jurist, theologian and mystic)

Do you recognize souls when you meet them?

Are there persons you instinctively feel drawn to, want to be around? Do you look forward to exploring their minds?

I have known such people. They are wondrous: unpre-

dictable, challenging, sturdy and yet gentle, deep and yet completely open. They seem to live on a different plane (or planet) than the rest of us mortals.

They are Souls. Not just any soul; every

human has a soul. The people

I think of as Souls have a ra-diance about them, a quiet depth of spirit that sets them apart, an inner shining that elicits (in fact, requires) some response.

Once I learned how to read the Bible, I was intrigued by the order of things in Eden.

On becoming a Soul In the fi rst chapter of Gen-esis, there is the account of the creation of the universe: light, then the heavens and the earth. In the second chapter of Genesis, we have the account of how God cre-ated Adam, forming him out of the dust of the ground, and then Eve.

And it is in that second chapter that we fi nd a pro-cess. God did not wave a magic wand and create a puppet. It was a three-step process: God formed Adam, breathed the breath of life into him and Adam became a living soul.

That, my friends, is how I understand the theory of evo-lution. All of God’s creation was a process, in stages, over

time, in large chunks of time – eons and eons of time. (As one pastor explained it to me, “’In the beginning, God….’ Everything else is methodol-ogy!”)

My point is this, however: Adam was created a man; he became a soul through the blessing of God’s own breath.

I sometimes think of this in terms of childbirth. A baby is born from a water environment, and has to have his mouth suctioned out by the doctor to clear the airways. It is at that mo-ment that the baby is able to scream his indignation at being pushed from his dark, warm, cozy, fl oating envi-ronment into a world where gravity makes him feel that

he is falling. As an additional insult, his body is cold for the very fi rst time. He fi nds that crying feels pretty good, and he keeps at it until he is bun-dled in warm blankets and handed back to his mom, and his rosebud mouth fi nds its fi rst meal.

Almost none of his poten-tial abilities work yet. He has to learn to suckle and sleep and grow. He has to learn to walk and talk. He has to learn to love and forgive. He has a lot of learning to do. He has to become a soul.

It won’t always be easy. He will mess up. He will for-get. He will get hurt. He will grow. He will become.

Just like Adam. Just like all of us.

Considering that they don’t play until late October, there sure is a lot of chatter about Tennessee-Alabama football.

Can you believe there are people running loose in the neighborhood who want to end this relationship af-ter just 112 years? And they claim to be fans. I say they need professional help and maybe guide dogs.

College football is or was based on rivalries. Geograph-ic proximity was the origi-nal concept of conferences. It was backyard brawls, us against them, Hatfi elds ver-sus the McCoys, Yale against Harvard, Auburn against Georgia. That is why stadi-ums are large.

I understand LSU coach Les Miles wanting to stop permanent cross-division

Too much Alabama talk

matchups in the Southeast-ern Conference, especially Tennessee-Alabama. Miles has an agenda. The Tide has been using the game as a free pass toward the national championship.

Les does not like his as-signed East division rival. Florida is a threat. Given a choice, the Gators might like an easier foe, too.

People without souls chirped up in support of Miles. They said the league schedule should be fair and

balanced – as if that is pos-sible. Others simply admit-ted Alabama is too tough. Some have spoken on behalf of more variety in schedul-ing. They say diversity is so exciting.

Beware of false prophets. They also want to change school colors to Nike camou-fl age.

Permanent cross-division competition doesn’t matter to me either way. But tradi-tion does. Tennessee and Alabama really should play on the third Saturday of ev-ery October. Write that one in ink. Complete the schedule in pencil.

Yes, there are times when sustaining tradition is more important than immediate loot.

Alabama was better than Tennessee in the beginning.

It won eight of the fi rst 10. Gene McEver returned the 1928 opening kickoff 98 yards for a touchdown. Ten-nessee never trailed. Tennes-see won, 15-13. That was the beginning of change.

There were 40 punts in 1932. Defenses were that good on wet ground. Ala-bama punted poorly in the fourth quarter. Tennessee won, 7-3.

Johnny Butler twice re-versed his fi eld on a serpen-tine 56-yard run, highlight of the 1939 victory. Inciden-tally, Tennessee opponents failed to score that season.

All-American Dick Huff-man beat up All-American Harry Gilmer in 1946. Huff-man wore orange. Andy Ko-zar scored the deciding TD in the fi nal minute of 1950. Tide quarterback Snake Stabler threw away the football to stop the clock in 1965 – on fourth down.

Bubba Wyche led a sig-

nifi cant upset of Alabama in 1967. Albert Dorsey in-tercepted enough passes to become an All-American.

In his fi fth game as Ten-nessee coach, Bill Battle, 29, produced a 1970 vic-tory over his mentor, the legendary Paul Bryant. Two years later, Alabama scored two touchdowns in the fi nal 36 seconds and infl icted a crushing defeat.

After 11 consecutive losses to Alabama, Mike Terry intercepted a pass in the end zone with 17 seconds left to seal Ten-nessee’s stunning 35-28 upset. That was 1982. The next year, Johnnie Jones raced 66 yards for a fourth-quarter touchdown to again stun the Tide.

Blitzing linebacker Dale Jones made one of the great plays in Tennessee history to save the 1985 triumph. In 1990, in a sudden re-versal, Alabama blocked

a winning fi eld goal at one end and kicked a winning fi eld goal at the other.

The Tide went 8-0-1 between 1986 and 1994. Tennessee won nine of 10 between 1995 and 2004. Peyton Manning and Joey Kent started that streak with an 80-yard touch-down pass on the fi rst play. Jay Graham made the big play the next season. Peer-less Price returned a kick-off 100 yards in ’98. That was a good year.

It took five overtimes but Casey Clausen led the Vols to victory in 2003. With 13 seconds remain-ing, Alabama won with a field goal in 2005. This stuff is tradition. Memo-ries are priceless.

Not much has hap-pened lately but things will change. Nick Saban said Tennessee now has a coach.Marvin West invites reader reaction. His

tist Church offers a free lunch and “Discover Grace” class to introduce new-comers to the staff and the church’s beliefs.

Discover Grace, discover community

Executive pastor Stacey

Bearden leads the “Discover

Grace” class to introduce

newcomers to the church.

Grace views the church as a family, brothers and sisters in the Lord. “The church is here to help meet the needs of its family ... physically, emotionally, spiritually, monetarily, whatever it may be,” said senior pastor Ron Stewart.

“A Christian without a church family is a spiritual orphan,” he said. “A lot of Christians are not mem-bers of a church, but it’s a lot harder. It’s a lot easier to have a family to lean on in times of trouble.”

The church is also a place where members can use their talents to serve one another. “Some peo-ple think a large church would not have a place for new members to serve,” said executive pastor Sta-cey Bearden. “But a large

church needs more volun-teers.

“It takes 150 volunteers every Sunday to minister to the children at Grace.”

The next step after the “Discover Grace” class is a new series “Discover Com-munity” 10:30 a.m. each Sunday for seven weeks. It

started June 9 in Cullum Hall.

This series enables new members to discover the function and experience of

Grace home groups through a fun, unique and interactive way. The goal is to connect each member with a home group community to continue

the spiritual journey together.To register for “Dis-

cover Community” email Brian Hellard at [email protected]/.

Meet the 2013Shopper News interns

the Sunsphere in downtown Knoxville.

Sarah Dixon, a 10th-grader at Halls High

School, is a second-year intern. “Being back at the Shopper has really sparked a desire to pursue my

dreams,” said Sarah. “I love the staff’s enthusi-asm, and I have so much to learn from Sandra in the field of politics. I am excited to spend my sum-mer with such amazing people,” she said. Sarah enjoys playing in her school’s marching band and in the drum line. She is also a madrigal singer.

Joshua Mode is a soph-omore at Halls High School.

His goal as a Shopper intern is to “have fun and explore news stories throughout our vast commu-nity.”

Zoe Risley is a rising 8th-grader at Vine Middle

School. She hopes to meet new and interesting people this summer during her internship and share

“cool” information with Shopper readers. Her fa-vorite pastimes are acting and singing.

Lindsey Sanders, a 7th grade student at Halls Mid-

dle, joined the Shop-per intern program to meet new people, become a better pho-tographer and to have

fun. She enjoys swimming, photography, camping and being outside. She would like a career as a photographer, animal rescuer or swimmer.

Taylor Smith is a ris-ing 9th-grader at South-Doyle. She is most looking

forward to new experiences during her internship. She plans to become a pediatric oncologist someday.

Roxanne Abernathy is a home-schooled 8th-

grader. She hopes to be productive during this summer’s intern pro-gram and learn new things about Knoxville.

Her two passions in life are acting and writing, with an emphasis on the acting.

Laura Beeler will begin the 9th grade at Halls High

School in August. She wanted to partici-pate in the Shopper News intern program because “there were

a lot of great people to meet and places to go on the itinerary.” She said it will inspire her to “look more deeply into specifi c degrees and jobs.” Her three main interests are photography, soccer and piano. After high school, Laura plans to study pre-law at the University of Tennessee.

Jackson Brantley, a 9th grade student at Union

County High School, has a busy summer planned. In addition to participat-ing in the intern program,

Jackson will attend a couple of basketball camps. Visiting the Sunsphere high above the city is on the top of his list of things to do. After high school he wants to become an engineer.

Paul Brooks will head to South-Doyle High School

in August as a 9th-grad-er. During his time as an intern, he is most look-ing forward to “taking pictures and getting

to know people of our great city.”

Gibson Calfee will be a 9th grade student at Union

County High School. He enjoys play-ing soccer and hopes to go into the medical pro-fession after high school. While

working with the intern program, Gibson is excited to get the opportunity to visit

In addition to their in-ternship with the Shopper News, interns Zoe Risley and Roxanne Abernathy are looking forward to acting in a new location this summer. Children’s Theatre of Knoxville has moved to its new location at 109 East Churchwell Av-enue.

Roxanne said the previ-ous location was like “a ga-

rage next to a graveyard.”The young thespians say

the move to a larger space will give more kids a chance to try acting.

Zoe will perform in the theater group’s fi rst perfor-mance at the new facility. “Babe, the Sheep-Pig” will be performed through Sat-urday, June 22. Info: www.childrenstheatreknoxville.com or 599-5284.

By Sara BarrettKnoxville News Sentinel

commercial print coordina-tor Karen S c h m i d t w a l k e d our interns through the process of printing a story start-ing with the folks in the newsroom. Quick turn-arounds and s t r e s s f u l

deadlines make for a quiet atmosphere so everyone can concentrate.

Schmidt said the expres-sion “Watch your Ps and Qs” came from early typesetting when letters were placed in a tray backwards and upside down. If the typesetter were not paying attention, the Ps and Qs could be switched.

Pre-press includes a room of computers and staff check-ing and re-checking fi les for

specifi cations that include correct color and page lay-out. Some of the publications printed on the press include The Oak Ridger, Farragut Press and Grainger Today in addition to Metro Pulse and, of course, the Shopper News.

The seven-story-high press is 974 metric tons of printing power that can produce 70,000 copies per hour. The fi rst of its kind in the United States, it is known for mostly trouble-free production. Intern Lau-ra Beeler was shocked by the noise it produced and noted the press operators working with ear protectors.

Enormous drums store environmentally-friendly, soy-based inks that can cre-ate any color a customer can dream up. Tanks are color-coded red, blue and yellow. The most-used black ink is stored in a big orange drum.

After seeing the fi nishing room where the papers get their inserts and coupons,

‘So you want to be a reporter?’This summer’s Shopper

News summer intern pro-gram kicked off last week with a tour of the big press at the Knoxville News Sen-tinel, lunch at the legend-ary Litton’s restaurant, a stop at Fountain City Art

Center and Fountain City Park, and a visit to Cu-mulus Media’s studios in Bearden.

The interns wrote about their experiences with some guidance from Shop-per staff.

The interns were treated to lunch at Fountain City’s famed Litton’s restaurant. Cheeseburgers, chicken tenders and a few salads were among intern fare.

Erik Litton, a 4th-genera-tion restaurateur, made sure the interns had everything they needed for the best lunch around. Chocolate-chip cookies served for des-sert would have been more appropriately named “choco-late chunk cookies,” accord-ing to intern Joshua Mode.

The students from South Knoxville had never eaten at Litton’s. “I can’t wait until I get my driver’s

license so I can bring my little brother here,” said intern Paul Brooks.

After lunch, report-ers Sandra Clark andJake Mabe talked about the newspaper “bidness.” Mabe said when it is time to choose a career, they should choose to do some-thing that they love. “If you love what you do,” he said, “you’ll never work a day in your life.”

Mabe said to always “tell me a story,” and Clark said a firing offense is spelling someone’s name incorrect-ly. Don’t worry. No intern has yet been fired.

the interns walked through a hall of framed front pages, including the news of the Ti-tanic sinking.

The Sentinel’s circula-tion guy Marshall Smith

came along and suggested to Sandra Clark that if she kept looking, she might find her birthday on one of those pages. She was look-ing at 1926 at the time!

interns stopped by the Fountain City Art Center af-ter lunch and spoke with its d i rec tor, S y l v i a Williams. The cen-ter was

opened in 2004 in the former library on the

edge of Fountain City Park. It is now a place where artists can come and share their work.

“It is a peaceful place to think,” said Shopper News photographer Ruth White of the viewing ar-eas set up with comfort-able sofas and chairs.

“The center is a way to encourage artists and give them a venue to sell their stuff,” said publisher San-dra Clark.

Williams said it takes

five fundraisersa year to keep the art center open.

In addition to exhibit-ing art of both local art-ists and students, FCAC hosts musicians, holds classes for both children and adults, and houses the Parkside Open Door Gallery, where artists can sell their wares while helping the center in the process.

By Joshua ModeWhen I walked into the

lovely building called the Fountain City Art Cen-ter, I was stunned at all the beautiful paintings. I was also stunned that it was not just a place to showcase art; it was also a learning center for stu-dents who wanted to im-prove their art skills.

Later when we got to walk around to see the art, I studied each piece to see which one spoke to me the most. The art was extravagant, big and small, plus sculptures and even jewelry, but

none really told a story. So I searched for some-thing that did.

Later, out of the corner of my eye, I saw a piece of artwork at the edge of the room. It was a pink metal sculpture in the shape of an awareness ribbon, so I wondered what story this might have. Maybe the artist had suffered a heartbreaking loss, sad-ness or struggle. The artist was Frank Har-vey, and I couldn’t help but wonder if he had lost someone to breast cancer.

As I walked away, I saw yet another of his works

that was also an aware-ness ribbon, but this one was blue instead of pink. So now I not only see that this artist might have wit-nessed someone get diag-nosed with breast cancer, but also prostate cancer.

And as I felt the pain through the art, I can only hope that the artist made this piece to salute those who have suffered instead of a personal piece about what he went through.

And that is what I found as my “speaking” art piece at the Fountain City Art Center.

By Sara BarrettAfter a quick dash into

Long’s Drug Store to say hi to Hank Peck and the gang (“Come back and have a milkshake,” said Hank), our group continued on to Cumulus Media in Bearden, home of WIVK, News/Talk 98.7 and The Sports Animal.

Promotions guy Brian Shoesmith showed us around and introduced us to radio legends Colleen Adair, Gunner and Phil Williams. News director Catherine Howell talked to the group about radio re-porting.

Howell says she finds most of her news stories

News at Cumulus in

KnoxvilleBy Zoe Risley

What if you were the one to decide what sto-ries were shared on the radio? That’s exactly what Cumulus Knox-ville news director Catherine Howell does.

Howell uses police scanners along with other sources to learn about stories going on locally and nationally to broadcast what peo-ple want to hear. She says she wants to alert people of things going on in their community that could affect them and future generations.

Howell also says that she enjoys taking things that are mildly interesting and fi nd-ing the details that stick out. She has been working as a news di-rector for eight years.

Shopper News intern Paul Brooks talks on air with Phil Wil-

liams. Photo by Joshua Mode

through email, although the news department has a good relationship with the police. She can’t depend on the conversations she hears on the police scanner because some are training exercises.

Eric “T-Bone” Gusky let the interns hear the magic of mixing sound for commercials, and how the soundtrack for a script can make a world of differ-ence. Echoing Jake Mabe’s thoughts from earlier in the day, Gusky said he would rather do what he loved than make a fortune doing something he didn’t.

“Just don’t take my pic-ture,” he said.

The trip to Cumulus wouldn’t have been com-plete without stopping by the Phil Show with leg-endary disc jockey Phil Williams at the mic. The interns went live on the radio, but only after tex-ting parents, grandparents and friends to drum up a crowd, adding numbers to the Phil Show’s ratings.

Gibson Calfee remem-bers Williams saying his first job was in auto repair but he’s been in radio for 30 years. “He wanted to play his band on the radio, and that’s why he chose his job,” said Gibson.

Most of the interns re-membered Williams say-ing his favorite story is the “Idiot of the Day.” On our way back home, we tuned in the Phil Show. Sure enough, he was reading “Idiot of the Day,” this time about a family that raised a baby deer for five years and then had to release it to the wild after a neighbor complained.

“Two words,” said Phil. “Petting Zoo.”

Lindsey Sanders also quoted Williams as saying his favorite part of his job “is payday and lunch.”

Williams snookered Lindsey when she asked how long he had worked in radio. “I was hired by a gentleman named Marco-ni,” said Phil. The interns seriously wrote the quote into their reporters pads. Marconi is generally cred-ited with inventing radio, back in the late 1800s.

Paul Brooks fell victim to Williams’ off-beat hu-mor. When Paul said he’s in training for the ministry, Phil asked when he first felt God’s call. “I was in 4th grade,” said Paul. Then he added, “but like Jonah, I ran away from God.”

“You were swallowed by a whale!” asked Phil.

Undeterred, Paul kept talking in his best preach-er’s voice. He comman-deered Williams’ micro-phone for about a minute of testimony.

Next week …The interns will “Walk

on the East Side” with vis-its to the Beck Cultural Center and the new aviary at Knoxville Zoo, making time for lunch at Chan-dler’s on Magnolia. See their stories and pictures in the June 17 Shopper News.

Technology is big boost for CorrytonBy Jake Mabe

Emma Patterson was in her class-room when she heard the news. Luke Warwick was sick at home, but the news made him feel a whole lot better. Principal Jamie Snyder was watching the live feed of the results with 5th grade students.

“I think I felt the school shake,” Snyder says.

The school is Corryton Elementa-ry. And the news was that the school had successfully applied through the School Technology Challenge to be one of 11 Knox County schools that will receive a 1:1 wireless connection and personal learning devices, which will be piloted during the 2013-14 school year.

Emma, 9, is a rising 4th-grader. Luke, 10, is a rising 5th-grader. Both helped deliver Corryton’s sales pitch to the committee that decided which schools would receive the technology.

“They were much calmer than the adults that were presenting,” Snyder says. “It was a lot of hard work. We had to put that presentation together in two days. And these folks,” she said, pointing to Emma and Luke, “helped us with their hard work.”

Luke talked about a robotics grant that the school had received and said the robot helped him and his classmates learn about geometry and science.

“We had to build the robot, so we really had to follow the instructions,” Luke says.

Emma told the committee why she thought the school needed the tech-nology.

“We’re already using it at home for entertainment. We can use it for learning.”

“It’s a different way to learn and a fun way to learn,” Luke says.

“It will ultimately allow us to con-nect learning in a very different way for kids,” Snyder says. “The stan-dards we are teaching won’t change, but the way we present the learning will change.”

Snyder adds that children learn in different ways. Some enjoy fl ipping pages in a book. Others like the quick pace of an ebook. The new technology will allow teachers to tailor instruction to each student’s individual needs.

“We can do both!” Luke said. Snyder and other Corryton Elemen-

tary staff members attended a week-long professional development initia-tive at Bearden High School last week.

“This whole week has been, ‘How do we do it?’ Our kids know more than we do. We have to fi gure out how to blend it (into the curriculum) and what that looks like as a presentation in front of the classroom. We’re going to be learning side by side. The kids

Corryton Elementary School rising 5th-grader Luke Warwick, principal Jamie Snyder and rising 4th-grader Emma Patterson work

on a couple of e-devices. Corryton is one of 11 Knox County schools chosen through the School Technology Challenge to pilot

new technology. Snyder and other Corryton staff members attended a week-long professional development initiative at Bearden

High last week. Luke and Emma helped deliver the school’s sales pitch during the Challenge earlier this year. Photos by Jake Mabe

will tell us what they need and we can show them the pathways to make that happen.”

Snyder says as an administrator she was excited last week to watch how excited her teachers became during the training sessions.

“These folks are amazing. They are willing to take on anything that comes their way.”

Last week’s session focused on the philosophy and theory of teaching through connectivity, Snyder said.

“At a follow-up in late July/early August,

we will hopefully know what (elec-tronic) device has

been selected and fi gure out how to make

it work in the classroom.” Snyder said partici-

pants got a preview last week. “They showed us one whole day of

a paradigm change and what it’s go-ing to feel like because it is new. And we’re going to make mistakes. That’s

OK. We’ll learn from our mistakes and move forward.”

She says it’s particularly exciting for a small school like Corryton to receive not only the new technolo-gy, but two full-time staff positions as well.

“We’re a school with 200 kids. We don’t get full-time positions other than our regular faculty. So to get a

tech position and a (TPACK coach), that’s worth its weight in gold for us as a community and as a school.”

Snyder says the school will con-tinue to communicate with parents through phone calls, newsletters and the school website.

“But we’re also going to be tweeting at @corrytonelem. And we’ll be hon-est. We’ll post our mistakes.”

Emma Patterson shows her technological skills on an iPad.

MY TWO CENTS

JakeMabe

Jerry Lyons received an email last month that he will never forget.

Lyons, a retired U.S. Army colonel and Halls resident, wrote a book in 2010 called “If These Stones Could Talk.” It tells the stories of American World War II veterans who are buried overseas.

Joe Lippi, whose father, Pvt. Joseph T. Lippi, is fea-tured in Lyons’ book, told Lyons about the 3rd grade class at St. Paul Institute in Belgium, which adopted his father’s grave several years ago. Joe Lippi has also become friends with the school’s principal, Mi-chel Lorquet, who empha-sizes to his students the sacrifices made by Ameri-cans buried in the cem-eteries in their country.

“They are remembering the stories behind those stones,” Lyons says. They adopt graves, place f low-ers there on the veterans’ birthdays and correspond with any living relatives.”

Lyons sent Lorquet a copy of his book for the St. Paul Institute’s library. On May 29, he received an email from Lorquet.

“(Your book) is a very precious gift I transfer to my pupils,” Lorquet wrote. “If we are free living, it’s with the help of your peo-ple, which have made the most important sacrifice, and even for too great a number, the ultimate one.”

Lorquet signed the email, “A simple free Bel-gian citizen.” He also included a photo of his daughter Efia, 5, at the grave she adopted belong-ing to PFC William A. Boldt of Minnesota, who was killed on Nov. 23, 1944, and is buried at the Ardennes American Cem-

The stories behind the stones etery in Neupre, Belgium.

“They are doing what the purpose of my book was,” Lyons says, “keeping alive the memories of these young men.”

The book is available at Amazon.com.

■ Learning together, ‘Side/By/Side’ A spark ignited into an

inferno the moment Halls High School student Tay-lor Eldreth began working with Fountain City artist Jean Hess.

Taylor had studied piano and guitar at The Commu-nity School of the Arts and began taking art classes in middle school. As a young child, she would spend hours creating chalk art in the driveway or even on the side of her house.

“But it wasn’t until Side/By/Side with Jean that I re-ally began to love it,” she says.

Side/By/Side is a visual arts apprentice program in which Community School of the Arts students are paired with professional artists. The program cul-minates with an art exhi-bition at Bennett Galler-ies, where the students’ and artists’ works are dis-played together. The art-work is also sold during a silent auction, which ben-efits the school.

together last year and say they are two peas in a pod. During the Side/By/Side program, they work to-

gether for three hours or so at least once a week and then often go to Hunter’s Deli in Halls to eat and dis-

cuss their work. Jean has done every-

thing from realistic sketch-es to “really abstract stuff.” Taylor says she’s good with “people and faces” and has started painting boats as well. She has been par-ticularly influenced by the work of J.M.W. Turner.

“It’s an amazing oppor-tunity,” Taylor says. “I felt very accomplished my first year. It’s also inspired me a lot in my work at Halls High (with art teacher Jer-ry Lewis). In the classroom setting, you don’t get a lot of personal time.

“It’s also inspired me to work by myself, on my own. I never thought I could paint.”

Taylor plans to major in chemistry or chemical en-gineering at UT but says she will most likely apply her art to science, perhaps as a scientific illustrator.

Jean says the program energizes her.

“I’m alone a big part of the time. This gets me with other people and I see how another person works. It just makes me want to get back at it (my art).” Visit Jake Mabe at jakemabe.blogspot.com.

By Sherry WittFor the fifth con-

s e c u t i v e month of 2013, the local real e s t a t e m a r k e t b o a s t e d e n c o u r -a g i n g numbers. For the

month that ended on May 31, there were 918 property transfers re-corded in Knox County. That number bested the recordings from both April and last May by some 70 transactions.

The aggregate value of land sold during the month also increased appreciably, as $212 mil-lion worth of property was transferred. That was over $50 million more than the total value of property sold during

April. In May of 2012, total land sales came in at about $175 million.

Mortgage lending fell about $6 million short of the totals from last month at approximately $336 million. That was still considerably more that the amount of mon-ey loaned against real estate in May of last year, when about $294 million was borrowed in mort-gages and refinances.

The most noteworthy transfer of the month was the sale of the Riv-erview Tower at 900 South Gay Street. The property sold to Hertz Knoxville One LLC for $24 million.

On the mortgage lend-ing side, the largest loan recorded was for $21 mil-lion secured by JP Morgan Chase Bank to fi nance the purchase of the Riverview Tower.

June 1. A large, happy crowd showed up to take part in all the festivities, the rain held off until the party was over and the best news of all was that $6,000 was raised for the scholarship endowment in Abby’s name. That means there’s a deserving future veterinary student who will have part of his or her way paid through school.

PetSafe was the present-ing sponsor of the event.

You can donate year-round at the website http://knoxvillewalkandwag.com/donate/.

A Shopper News Special Section June 10, 2013

OutdoorsBy Cindy Taylor

Just over the train tracks on Beaver Creek Drive is something you don’t see every day in East Tennessee – a full-on beach complete with a Tiki bar.

It all started when Carole Chaffi ns asked her son, “What are you going to do with that big hole in the front yard?”

If you are Bill Chaffi ns Jr. you turn that hole, and then the entire front yard, into a beach.

“The beach wasn’t here, so I had to make it,” said Bill as he whipped up a batch of barracuda margaritas. “We have a lot of fun with strangers just dropping in.”

Chaffi ns says the challenge was be-ing able to make the beach look like it should be there. He started with a small area and a couple of chairs. Then, he made a trip to the beach for the dune fence, added banana and palm trees, and the construction grew from there. He and his family have been working on the property both indoors and out for more than a year. Some of the décor has come from as far away as Australia and Fiji.

Chaffi ns and his wife, Barbara, got married on their private beach, but it was much smaller. The wedding at the Tiki bar went long into the evening with guests who were having too much fun to leave.

Barbara’s daughter, Becky Ragan, is home on leave from the U.S. Navy for a few days. She says her military friends don’t believe her when she tells them about home.

“I always have to show them pictures to prove it,” she said.

The bar is equipped with everything the family needs to party through the day and into the night. There is a cooktop, two fridges, a sink, a freezer, a searing burner and grill and of course, a stereo. Beach and retro dé-cor abound in every corner and exotic plants cover the grounds. More than five tons of sand runs from one end of the beach to the other with a few tons of river rock thrown in.

“We grill out almost every day here in the Tiki bar,” said Bill. “We love it when people drive by and shout ‘hello.’ A lot of them stop to take pictures and end up staying a bit. Any time we call and say we’re grilling fish tacos, the neighbors are quick to come over. Life is very laid-back here.”

The entire yard is a work in progress. The interior of the home has been completely redone as well.

“It is a never-ending project,” said Barbara.Bill says he can play in the mountains in the backyard

and then walk around front to rest on the beach. It is truly the best of both worlds.

But how often does a train come by? Lounging at the Tiki bar with a margarita in hand, banana and palm trees swaying, and the sounds of Jimmy Buffett wafting on the breeze, does it really matter?

Dining outdoors? Tips for keeping food safe and delicious

Al fresco dining is one of the great plea-sures of warm weather. Whether you’re hosting a neighborhood barbecue or an in-timate dinner party on your deck, outdoor dining is a great way to savor good food, company and the great outdoors. To ensure your meals are safe and enjoyable, it’s im-portant to know how to prepare, transport and store food for outdoor eating.

The Institute of Food Technologists (IFT) offers some advice for safely han-dling food when you’re dining outdoors this summer:

PurchasingWarm weather brings a bounty of fresh

produce, and a trip to the local farmers market can make a nice addition to your outdoor meal. Food safety starts in the fi eld. It’s important to get to know the growers selling produce at your local farm stand, and ask about their farming prac-tices. How do they keep their products free from bacterial pathogens and other con-taminants? Farmers may also have great tips for storing produce, testing for ripe-ness and even ways to prepare the fruits and veggies they sell.

IFT spokesperson and food safety ex-pert, Don Schaffner, PhD, says that when you’re purchasing produce, make sure it’s free of mold, bruises or blemishes where bacterial pathogens can grow. Many gro-cery stores offer freshly cut, packaged produce for customers seeking nutritious convenience foods. Freshly cut vegetables and fruit need proper temperature control to prevent the growth of bacteria that cause foodborne illness.

PreppingBefore preparing food, wash your hands

thoroughly with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds. Make sure all prep utensils such as cutting boards, dishes and countertops are clean before preparing each food item.

Dirt, dust and pathogenic microbes can linger on produce. It’s important to wash fresh produce before consuming it. The only exception is pre-bagged salads and leafy greens, as experts advise that addi-tional washing of ready-to-eat green salads

is not likely to enhance safety. Thoroughly washing in cold water will suffi ce for most fruits and vegetables, but some types of produce require special handling. Wash spinach or salad greens in a bowl of water and rinse them gently to remove dirt and other contaminants.

Give extra attention to fruits with stems, such as apples, pears and peaches. You may be tempted to forego washing fruit with a rind, since you won’t be eating the rind. But, it’s still important to wash oranges, avocados, melons, cantaloupe, etc. Patho-gens can linger in unwashed crevices and transfer to your hands or the knife you use to cut the fruit. In addition, wash items you’ll peel, such as carrots and cucumbers, for the same reason.

GrillingIf you’ll be grilling at home, remember

to always marinate meat in the refrigerator, never on the kitchen counter or outdoors. Discard any extra marinade that’s touched raw meat.

Grill food thoroughly, using a thermom-eter to ensure the proper internal temper-ature: 145 F for steaks and fi sh, 160 F for pork, hot dogs and hamburgers, and 165 F for poultry. Keep fi nished meats hot un-til you serve by moving them to the side of the grill rack, away from the coals or high-est fl ame on your gas grill. Avoid cross-contamination by using separate serving plates and utensils for different meats and vegetables.

If you’ll be grilling away from home, in a park, tailgating at a sporting event or on a camping trip, consider purchasing pre-formed patties for burgers and pre-cut poultry. This minimizes the amount of handling meat requires and can help minimize the risk of bacteria and cross contamination.

TransportingA picnic in the park can be great fun for

everyone, but it’s important to assure your food arrives safely along with your fam-ily and guests. Follow smart food packing guidelines. Keep meats, including lunch meats and raw meats, cheeses and condi-ments cold in insulated, soft-sided bags or

coolers with freezer gel packs.Food needs to be stored at 40 F or colder

to reduce the risk of pathogen growth, so limit the number of times you open the cooler. Never allow food to sit for more than two hours at temperatures below 90 F, and no more than an hour when temperatures exceed 90 F. Throw away food that’s been sitting out too long.

Securely package raw meat, seafood and poultry to ensure the juices don’t contami-

nate other foods. Pack only the amount of perishable food that you think will be eaten. Beverages and perishable foods should trav-el in separate containers and coolers, espe-cially if you’ll be transporting raw meat.

When it’s time to go home, don’t reuse packaging material that has touched raw meats or meat juices. Make sure perishable leftovers stay cold on the trip home. Avoid taking home uncooked leftovers.

As people show more skin with the summer season, it is important to get into a sk-incare routine that fi ts your lifestyle. Extended time in the sun can result in unwant-ed wrinkles, blemishes and sagging skin, not to mention more serious consequences – melanomas, scarring and skin cancer.

Current estimates show that one in fi ve Americans will be diagnosed with skin cancer in their lifetime. For-tunately, it only requires simple steps and a protec-tive mind-set to prevent skin damage at every stage of life.

■ Quit smoking: Smok-ing strips your skin of elas-tin and collagen, leaving you at the risk of severely premature facial wrinkling.

■ Eat smart: Foods that are high in vitamin C and antioxidants help prevent

wrinkles by refl ecting UV ra-diation from the sun.


This decade is the fi rst time many see distinct signs of ag-ing and skin damage, and it becomes necessary to build a more aggressive damage con-trol and prevention regimen.

■ Assess the damage: Take advantage of free health screenings at your local phar-macies or retailers.

■ Maintain reduced stress levels. Ask your pharmacist or clinician about the effects of cortisol and stress on your skin and weight.

■ Get acquainted with retinoids: Retinoid creams contain compounds found in vitamin A and are used to treat wrinkles, sun dam-age and acne. Retinoid creams are available in both prescription and over-the-counter treatments.

■ Make sunscreen a habit: Use (and reapply) sunscreen throughout the day whenever you go outside.


Years of sun exposure can leave your skin with noticeable lines, blotchiness or dryness.

■ Limit exposure: Decreas-ing sun exposure is the best way to prevent skin cancer.

■ Moisturize regularly: While moisturizers won’t slow down the aging pro-cess, they can help soothe increasingly raw or irritated skin and can help strengthen collagen.

■ Add a little pep: Skin creams with peptides (small chains of protein molecules) can stimulate collagen and plump sagging skin.

If you’re 50-plus

For people age 50 and older, it’s critical to be aware of changes in your skin that may refl ect the status of its health.

■ Self check: Monitor changes in your skin and look out for persistent pink, scaly patches and red or

black pearly spots or bumps – these can sometimes be in-dicators of skin cancer.

■ See a dermatologist: Byage 50, everyone should have a total body skin check to screen for skin cancer.

■ Continue good habits:Sunscreen is still an absolute must for this age range, and moisturizers and hydration are even more important than ever.

No matter what your age, everyone feels most confi -dent when their skin is its healthiest. Visit your doc-tor or take advantage of free counsel from pharmacists and local health screenings. For example, Sam’s Club hosts health screenings ev-ery month which are free and available to the public. For a full schedule of Sam’s Club screenings through October, visit SamsClub.com/healthy-living. This season, take ac-tion to prevent and minimize skin damage, so your skin is nourished, protected and healthy for many summers to come.
