By Cindy TaylorAt family week at Mount Moriah Camp and Confer-

ence Center, parents, grandparents and kids attended to participate or just spend time with family.

During the daytime at the camp, family members could swim, play sports, engage in photography, learn technology, dabble in arts and crafts, relax or try their hand at the zip line.

Mornings during the camp, which took place June 30 to July 3, were fi lled with instruction, and each day ended with an inspiring message to rally young people to take the high road in life.

Mount Moriah Christian Camp is a ministry of Tem-ple Baptist Church in Powell. The 110-acre camp prop-erty is four miles from the church and offers outstand-ing programs during the summer months.

Camps will continue through Aug. 1. Info: www.mountmoriahcamp.com or 938-8186, ext. 532.

By Betty BeanIt’s been a year or so

since Bob Thomas and Ed Brantley worked togeth-er, but the two longtime morning-drive radio stars will be colleagues again once they’re sworn in as Knox County commission-ers Sept. 2.

In the meantime, they’ve had a couple of dinners with the other two new commissioners-elect (Charles Busler and Ran-dy Smith), and they plan another in August, which they know is perfectly le-gal now, although come September, sunshine laws will come into play and put constraints on their get-togethers.

But they are adamant about one thing:

“If the two of us are at

the Vol Market No. 3 hav-ing a hot dog, which we do every week, and some-body calls in (to complain), or if somebody sees us at Wright’s Cafeteria, where we take my mom for lunch, well, that’s not going to stop,” Thomas said. “That’s

silly. We’re going to stop being friends? Not going to happen.”

Thomas and Brantley will represent the 10th and 11th at-large districts, respectively (a distinc-tion without a difference, since at-large commis-

sioners represent the en-tire county). Thomas ran unopposed; Brantley was victorious over a primary opponent. Neither is op-posed in the August gen-eral election.

In addition to being on-air personalities, both have run businesses, both are grandfathers and both want to attract more and better jobs to Knox County for the sake of their grand-children (Ed has fi ve; Bob has three).

“To me, the biggest pri-ority in this county other than supporting the school system is getting some jobs in here,” Brantley said. “Chattanooga is ahead of us in manufacturing, and our surrounding counties are ahead of us, too, to some degree, in other ar-

eas. When I used to go in to work in the early morn-ing, Pellissippi Parkway was a constant stream of headlights going to Oak Ridge where they have the national lab and all that high-tech industry.

“Knox County is at a disadvantage, but there are good ideas coming out of Anderson and Blount counties, and the boom-ing tourist trade in Se-vier County. Can we share some more of those things? Yes, I think we can.”

Thomas agrees.“A lot of people have

asked me, what do you want to accomplish? I per-sonally am not coming in with something in my back pocket I’ve got to get done. I don’t have an agenda. I

is all about the money, says Burchett

By Sandra ClarkAnnouncing his upcoming

nuptials was not the news nug-get of Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett’s speech to a business group in Fountain City, yet that announcement got all the media play.

Much more impactful was his endorsement of unifi ed govern-ment for Knoxville and Knox County and his pledge to work for the merger during his upcoming four-year term.

“Yes, I’m serious,” he said. “We have two governments because of fi efdoms. … Just don’t call it metro.”

Burchett wants to reduce, not enlarge, the size of local govern-ment. He wants to eliminate du-

plication, but he’s not about to suggest the hot-button issues that have doomed previous votes. (State law requires unifi cation to be approved by voters in both the city and the county balance.)

“We’re not taking away any-body’s right to elect offi cials. We’re not raising taxes.” He proposes service zones in which residents could choose (and pay for) en-hanced services such as garbage pickup and fi re protection.

“It’s bad for business,” he said, citing awkwardness in explaining local government to companies seeking to locate here.

“And it’s bad for your tax dol-lars,” he said.

County Commissioner R. Larry

‘Not-metro’

Smith agreed. “If elected offi cials put their egos aside, it would hap-pen. It just makes sense.”

Knox County’s debt has been reduced by $59 million in three years, Burchett said.

As for that marriage, Burchett said he will wed Kelly Kimball on July 26 at an undisclosed location.

“We’ve both got enough stuff,” he said, requesting no gifts. “Make a contribution to HonorAir.”

health & lifestyles

One important component to living a long and healthy life is to get preventive health screenings for serious diseases. If your doctor fi nds a disease early, the problem is often easier to treat and may cause less damage. In addition to celebrating milestone birthdays, consider them reminders for cer-tain important health checks.

Note: Screening means test-ing for a condition before there are signs or symptoms of disease. If you already have symptoms of any of the following, be sure to see your doctor right away.

Here’s a timeline for health screenings through the decades:

Breast cancer. Mammo-grams use X-rays to look for breast cancers when they are still small. The American Cancer So-ciety (ACS) recommends annual mammograms for women starting at age 40. Talk with your doctor about frequency, as well as other possible imaging tests if you have a family history of breast cancer. Mammograms are the best way to detect early cancer, but all wom-en should also know how their breasts feel normally and report any changes to their doctor. Clini-cal breast exams should be done yearly in women after age 40.

Prostate cancer. The ACS suggests that men talk with their doctor at age 50 about whether they should be tested for prostate cancer. This screening involves a blood test measuring a substance called PSA. It may also include a rectal exam of the prostate. Afri-can-American men and men with a father or brother who had pros-tate cancer before age 65 should have this talk at age 45.

Osteoporosis. The U.S. Pre-ventive Services Task Force (USP-STF) suggests that women be

screened for osteoporosis starting at age 65. Your doctor might ad-vise you to start at a younger age if you are at high risk for bone loss or a broken bone.

Colorectal cancer. The ACS suggests that both men and women be screened for colorectal cancer start-ing at age 50. The gold s t a n d a r d d i a g n o s t i c test is the colonoscopy. If no pre-c a n c e r o u s polyps are found, you may not need to have it the test repeated more than once every 10 years. If you have a family history of colon or rectal cancer, you may need to be tested earlier. Talk with your doctor about this.

Diabetes. The National Insti-tutes of Health suggests that ev-eryone age 45 or older think about being tested for diabetes. Con-sider starting at a younger age if you’re overweight and have other factors that put you at higher risk for diabetes, such as an elevated blood glucose level, high choles-terol, high blood pressure or fam-ily history of diabetes.

Cholesterol. The USPSTF suggests that men have choles-terol screenings starting at age 35. Women should begin at 45 if they’re at high risk for heart dis-ease. Both men and women should consider getting this blood test at an earlier age if their risk for heart disease is particularly high.

Blood pressure. All adults should be screened for high blood pressure once a year. If the blood pressure is in the low normal

range, it can be extended to every two years.

Abdominal aneurysm. Men should have a one-time screening for abdominal aortic aneurysmbetween ages 65 and 75 if they have ever smoked, the USPSTF suggests. This ultrasound test

looks for a weak, bulging spot in a major blood vessel in the abdo-men. The USPSTF doesn’t recom-mend the screening in older menwho haven’t smoked or in women.

Cervical cancer. Womenshould be screened at least every three years. After age 65 or aftera hysterectomy for benign dis-ease, women may stop having Pap smears as long as their previous Pap smears were normal and they are not otherwise at high risk for cervical cancer.

Screenings are just one step you can take to prevent disease later in life. Other crucial steps include:

■ Avoiding tobacco ■ Maintaining a healthy weight ■ Eating a healthy diet rich in

fruits, vegetables, whole grains and fat-free or low-fat dairy

■ Getting at least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity on most days of the week

■ Drinking alcohol only in moderation, if you drink at all

Maintaining a relationship with your family doctorPrimary care physicians, whether they are

family practitioners or internists, are an inte-gral part of the healthcare spectrum and are playing an ever-increasing role in wellness and disease prevention. You may be think-ing to yourself, “I’m perfectly healthy; I don’t need a family doctor.” Or perhaps you are one of those who quip, “If I go to the doctor, they’ll just fi nd something wrong with me!”

But your family doctor shouldn’t be looked at as simply the repair person who comes to your house when you have a base-ment full of water; instead, your family doc-tor is here to prevent health problems and, when necessary, help you overcome them or provide a referral to a specialist.

Scheduling regular check-ups with your doctor can keep you up-to date on all pre-ventative wellness. It’s important to have an annual physical and other diagnostic testing. These can determine early signs of a possible condition, which may become more severe if left untreated.

By seeing your primary care physician on a regular basis, they will know your medical background. That means they can look at your whole health picture, rather than one instance of illness. By knowing your medical history and that of your fam-ily, your doctor will have a better under-standing of your overall health status and

Be proactive in your health – screenings can help

Vaccines keep adults in good health, too

You’ve probably heard a lot about vaccines for children and students, but different vaccines are required for different stages of life. Vac-cines are just as important for adults.

Protecting more than you

Vaccines help stop the spread of disease. They also help save the lives of those who can’t be vaccinated. Ex-perts call this community immunity. For instance, chil-dren younger than 2 months are too young to be vacci-nated against pertussis – a deadly childhood disease also known as whooping cough. To protect them, preg-nant mothers and other close caregivers should receive the vaccine.

Wondering what shots you may need? It depends on many factors, including your age, any medical condi-tions you may have, your oc-cupation and your lifestyle. In general, adults should re-ceive:

■ An annual f lu shot for all ages, including pregnant women

■ The Tdap (tetanus, diph-theria and pertussis) vaccine and booster every 10 years

■ Two doses of the chick-enpox vaccine

■ One or two doses of the MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) vaccine

■ Three doses of the HPV vaccine for men and women ages 19 to 26

■ The shingles vaccine for those 50 and older

Some people may also benefit from vaccines for pneumonia, meningococcal disease, and hepatitis A and B. Talk with your healthcare provider to determine which vaccines are right for you.

The value of a vaccine record

At some point in your life, you may need to confirm that you’ve had a certain vaccine. For example, international travel may require protection against diseases common to your destination. Colleges or a new employer may request proof of vaccination.

It’s a good idea to keep a re-cord of your vaccines. It will help you avoid duplicate shots. If you haven’t kept track be-fore, here are tips on how to build your vaccine record:

■ Contact your previous healthcare providers, includ-ing those at local health clin-ics. Your pharmacy or health insurance company may also have information on file.

■ Dig through old family documents. Your childhood records may include forms for school or camp.

■ Reach out to colleges or other schools you have attend-ed. Previous employers may keep track of vaccines, too.

■ Check your state’s im-munization registry. It’s an electronic database that col-lects vaccine information.

Always talk with your healthcare provider to find out more information about what vaccines are appropri-ate for you and your health needs.

Primary importance:

can determine how to best care for you throughout all stages of your life.

There are several types of primary care doctors. They include internal medicine physicians, who provide non-surgical medi-cal care to adults; family medicine doctors, who provide care for adults and children; obstetricians-gynecologists, who provide

care for women of childbearing age; and pe-diatricians, who care for children.

How do I fi nd a family doctor?

If you are looking for a family doctor, try talking to your friends and family, or

review local doctors in Parkwest MedicalCenter’s Physician Directory. You can evenfi nd personal service by calling Parkwest’sPhysician Finder at 865-374-PARK.Once you have the names of a few doctors,call their offi ces to get more information.Some things that you should ask include:

■ Do they accept your insurance? ■ What are the offi ce hours? ■ What hospital does the doctor use? ■ How many doctors are in the practice?

Once you fi nd a doctor who meets yourneeds, schedule an appointment so that youcan meet and talk to them. During the ap-pointment, make sure:

■ You’re comfortable talking to the doc-tor

■ The doctor answers all your questions ■ The doctor explains things so that you

can understand ■ You had enough time to ask all your

questions

It can take time to build a relationshipwith your doctor, but it’s a relationship wellworth developing and maintaining. As youage and enter into each new life stage, anestablished family physician will be a ben-efi cial constant to monitor your health andkeep you well for years to come.

“To all of you who are here as friends and fam-ily of those who are to be presented today, you honor them with your presence,” said Shirley. “To those who are to be presented for citi-zenship, you honor us with your decision to become an American citizen.”

want to make sure we’re tracking business and that we are fi scally responsible and good decision makers. Ed and I had lunch the other day, and somebody told us, ‘They ought to let you two guys go out and talk to busi-nesses.’

“I’m not afraid to stand up to people, and I’m sick and tired of minimum-wage jobs coming to town and us thinking that’s a big victory. I’d like to fi nd jobs that give people a career – the kind of jobs that attract 20- and 30-year-olds who want to have a family to come here and stay here.”

Brantley has promised not to vote for any new taxes and says that he will stick by that pledge.

“I’m taking a stand on not voting for any new taxes. People are taxed to death,” he said. He sees no confl ict between this stance and his promise to push for a new Gibbs Middle School.

Thomas said he wants a strong infrastructure but at the same time intends to be fi scally responsible. He ap-proves of the way the county is being managed.

“Knox County is paying down debt, and our bond rating is going up. A lot of counties around the state would like to be in the situ-ation we’re in.”

Both are extremely in-terested in Knox County Schools but have questions about the relationships be-tween the school board and

the commission.“Things are at a stand-

still,” Brantley said. “Why can’t the chair of the school board and the chair of com-mission get together and say, ‘What can you live with?’ ”

Both Thomas and Brant-ley laugh at suggestions that they’ll vote in “two-for-one” fashion.

“Obviously, you never lis-tened to our show. We dis-agree on a lot of things, but at least we can tell each oth-er how we feel. After spend-ing three years together ev-ery day on the radio, there’s not been an issue comes through this town we did not discuss in depth. I don’t care about politics. I just want to see some progress,” Thomas said.

ered with the Northwest Democratic Club to honor three favorites who are moving on to a different phase of life.

Indya Kincannon, Mary Beth Leibowitz and Randy Nichols were thanked by club members for their will-ingness to speak at meet-ings and help out in other

ways whenever they were asked.

“Randy and Mary Beth have always been so gra-cious to come and speak to our club,” said treasurer Nancy Stinnette. “We want-ed to do a little something to show our appreciation.”

Nichols leaves his posi-tion as district attorney gen-eral for Knox County at the end of August. After holding

the position for 22 years, Nichols says he is retiring but not stopping.

“I haven’t looked for work in 40 years,” said Nichols. “I don’t know if I can fi nd any-body to hire me or not.”

Leibowitz was the fi rst female Democratic judge in Knox County and held the seat more than 25 years.

“No one thought I could get reelected,” said Leibow-

itz. “This club stood by meand supported me. I havelearned a lot from thesefolks. As for retirement,my plan is to do whatever Iwant.”

Leibowitz said her par-ents told her that their ob-ligation was to educate hersuffi ciently, and her job wasto make a living.

Kincannon was on vaca-tion but sent her regards.

Leaving for the next adventure

Barack Obama is the worst president in U.S. his-tory, according to a recent poll.

LarryVan

Guilder

Things could be worse

We know polls don’t lie, except when taken in Eric Cantor’s congressional dis-trict, but this one seems to have drawn heavily on folks just rousing from a fi ve-year nap under a pile of rocks.

On Obama’s watch: A few days ago the Dow-

Jones Industrial Average topped 17,000. On Jan. 20, 2009, Obama’s inaugura-tion day, the Dow-Jones closed at 7,949.

In January 2009, the U.S. unemployment rate stood at 7.70 percent and would rise to 9.70 percent a year later. Last month, the U.S. De-partment of Labor reported the rate as 6.10 percent.

Nationally, 288,000 jobs were added in June, the most since May 2007.

The percentage of unin-sured adults peaked at 18 in the third quarter of last year. With the passage of

the Affordable Care Act that number has dropped to 13.4 percent and continues to de-cline.

Domestic oil production is up and imports are down.

American combat troops returned from Iraq, and Osama bin Laden met jus-tice.

Not bad for the worst president in history.

Speaking of history, the president’s critics in the poll seem to be as defi cient of knowledge in that area as they are in current events.

An aggregate of 17 polls conducted between 1948 and 2011 that included his-torians, political scientists,

Republicans, Democrats, liberals, conservatives and even celebrities in some cases awarded the “worst” distinction to President Warren G. Harding.

James Buchanan was ranked one notch above Harding, and Andrew John-son made the list as third worst.

Harding is the Homer Simpson of presidents, mi-nus the blue-haired spouse. If “Doh!” wasn’t ringing through the corridors of the White House during his ten-ure it should have been.

Until Watergate came along, the Teapot Dome affair was the scandal by which all others were mea-sured in the administrative branch of the government.

Albert Fall, Harding’s

Secretary of the Interior, accepted a bribe from oil company pals and gave them leases to drill without competitive bidding. Fall served a year in a jail after the scandal came to light in 1922.

Another Harding appoin-tee, Charles Forbes, spent two years in jail for shady deals when he headed the Veterans Bureau, forerun-ner of today’s Veterans Ad-ministration.

Harry Daugherty was Harding’s attorney general. The corruption in Daugh-erty’s Justice Department would have made Nixon’s attorney general, John Mitchell, blush.

James Buchanan’s miser-able ranking stems from his unwillingness (or inability)

to stop the march toward civil war. A death toll of 620,000 is a rough legacy to overcome.

Andrew Johnson was the fi rst president to be im-peached. The Senate acquit-ted him by a single vote.

Johnson’s ideas for re-habilitating the South after the Civil War clashed with the Radical Republicans in Congress.

His opposition to the 14th Amendment, which gave citizenship to African-Americans, helped seal his low standing in the polls.

Facts can be inconve-nient.

A poll that rates Barack Obama the worst president refl ects the political and ra-cial divide in this country at the expense of history.

Last week, John McKa-mey made a 200-mile round trip to Knoxville from his home in Piney Flats to talk to the Central City Demo-crats about why he’s run-ning for governor. He’s pret-ty much going it alone, and his short-term objective is to save the Tennessee Dem-ocratic Party from itself.

He doesn’t want another national embarrassment like the one they suffered through two years ago when part-time fl ooring installer/Tea Party supporter Mark Clayton took advantage of his superior alphabetical position on the ballot and beat opponent Park Overall to become the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate, facing Republican Bob Corker. The Washington Post, among others, named

McKamey seeks to save Democrats from themselves

Clayton, whose most promi-nent supporter was Repub-lican Stacey Campfi eld, the worst Senate candidate in the country, and the Ten-nessee Democratic Party became a national laugh-ingstock.

With this in mind, McKa-mey is acutely aware of the perils of low name recogni-tion and inferior ballot posi-tion, and points out that two of his opponents have catchy names – Charlie Brown and Kennedy Johnson.

“None of the other can-didates are campaigning,

to my knowledge, but I’ve been trying to point out that alphabet issue every time I speak,” he said.

McKamey spent 23 years as a Sullivan County com-missioner and four years as county executive. He gets real serious when he talks about the issues, explain-ing that he spent 50 years in public schools as a student, teacher and coach, and he strongly disagrees with what’s happening in Ten-nessee’s public schools. He got tired of waiting for his party to produce a serious opponent to challenge Gov. Bill Haslam.

“The party did not re-cruit me. I did it on my own. I called the state chair and asked Mr. (Roy) Herron if they had anybody in mind. He said they were searching

for someone.“I started two days before

the deadline. Somebody has got to stand up for educa-tion and for women and for people who are being denied health insurance,” he said.

He’s not a supporter of the Common Core State Standards, which he labels as “test, test test.”

“Teachers want to teach the student – not to the test. They’re making robots out of teachers and robots out of students, and all they’re talking about is numbers and statistics.”

He’s not a fan of vouch-ers and charter schools and says he’d hire an experi-enced classroom teacher as commissioner of education.

He says his concern for women’s rights has been sharpened by experience.

“When I was a county commissioner, there was a lady who applied for a raise, and county commission, including me, kept turning her down. When I was coun-ty executive, she sued, and won. And she was right. I’ve been to court and I always remember the 14th Amend-ment. It means equality for everybody.”

And he has an even more personal reason:

“My wife had rheumatic fever in high school that damaged her heart severely. When we got married in 1960, her doctor told us she couldn’t stand a pregnancy. He told her, ‘If you get preg-nant, you come here and we will take it,’ so we never had children. I trusted the doctor’s and my wife’s judg-ment, and we never did have

to make that decision.”So for now, he’s criss-

crossing the state, fi rm in his belief that once he sur-vives the primary, statewide media will start paying at-tention, fi nancial help will fl ow his way and it’ll be a whole new race.

Briggs vs. Campfi eldNot a dime’s worth of diff erence?

John McKamey speaks to the Center City Democrats.

Never say there’s not a dime’s worth of difference between state Sen. Stacey Campfi eld and his challeng-er, County Commissioner Richard Briggs.

Briggs has a medical de-gree and a real job: heart sur-geon for over 30 years. He’s been president of the Knox-ville Academy of Medicine.

Briggs is a combat vet-eran of Desert Storm, Iraq and Afghanistan, retiring as a U.S. Army colonel.

He’s served on County Commission since 2008, tackling complex issues like billboards, pension reform

and economic development.Stacey Campfi eld, on the

other hand, served in the House and Senate for al-most a decade before pass-ing a bill. He’s marginally self-employed, “rehabbing” and renting run-down real estate. His college experi-ence was online, and his ex-perience in uniform is lim-ited to Halloween.

Campfi eld, 46, is old enough to act better.

He likes to blame the “liberal media” for his bad press, but he’s been sued for defamation, booted from the Duncan Family Barbe-cue for his antics, and es-corted out of a UT football game for failing to remove a mask when asked to do so.

Let’s elect a serious sena-tor – Dr. Richard Briggs – and watch him effectively serve in Nashville. There’s a world of difference.

A somewhat interesting couple is approaching their 60th wedding anniversary. They tell each other they are better together than they could have possibly been as individuals.

They are not at all fa-mous, but there are historic combinations that convey that same message of better together: Mantle and Maris, Sonny and Cher, Hewlett and Packard, Rodgers and Hammerstein, Huntley and Brinkley, Johnson and Johnson, Romeo and Juliet – you get the idea.

Lasting linkage extends to Tennessee sports. Ernie and Bernie come to mind fi rst.

Bernard King was Ten-nessee’s best-ever basket-ball player. Ernie Grunfeld

Better together

was very, very good. They were great together.

Both made individual impacts. King was an NBA superstar. Grunfeld contin-ues as an executive. Ber-nard is in the pro hall of fame. Ernie has an Olympic gold medal.

As Volunteers together, they were the best show of Ray Mears’ many color-ful years. You don’t hear much about it anymore, but Stu Aberdeen coaxed them from New York City to

Knoxville. It was a recruit-ing miracle, two superstars forever linked.

The best football combo is Kiner and Reynolds.

Steve Kiner and Jack Reynolds are linked line-backers from 1967 to 1969. Jack manned the middle. There never was a day when football was too tough for Hacksaw. Steve chased from sideline to sideline with in-tent to infl ict bodily harm.

They produced similar results but were very differ-ent. Kiner was a fi rst-game starter as a sophomore. Reynolds had to be con-vinced he was good enough to play.

Kiner was an extro-vert, confi dent, aggressive. He talked. Sportswriters quoted him, sometimes correctly. He was twice an all-American. He became really famous as the fi rst Volunteer linebacker in the

college hall of fame.The Dallas Cowb oys

signed Kiner in 1970 and took him to Super Bowl V. He was a Redskin for Super Bowl VII. Later, he was New England’s defensive MVP. He had a good closing run with the Oilers.

I remember the day he formally introduced me to coach Bum Phillips. He re-called some little things I had done for him. Bum’s response: “That was an im-pressive presentation.”

Kiner did not take good care of his body, but he re-bounded, enjoyed a profi t-able period as a real-estate broker, went back to school, at West Georgia and earned two degrees in psychol-ogy. Just for fun, he coached linebackers as a graduate assistant. His fi erceness and passion seemed trans-ferable. He could have been good at that.

In a strange move, this man who hurt people on football fi elds became a health-care professional. He is assessment coordina-tor for psychiatric services at Emory University Hospi-tal in Atlanta. He remains interested in old teammates and UT functions.

Reynolds was cut from different cloth. He was for-ever motivated by fear of failure. Even late in his NFL days, after many accomplish-ments, under his uniform he still wore a tattered T-shirt that said, “Too old, too short, too slow and can’t cover.”

He had heard those criti-cisms and used them as fi rewood. His persona was built on the underdog myth. He was always grumbling, about weather, the high cost of Pepsis and how much his back hurt. He worked at be-ing unhappy. Teammates called him Crazy Jack. He

wasn’t.Reynolds had a long pro

career and saved his money from 11 years with the Los Angeles Rams and four with the San Francisco 49ers. He earned two Super Bowl rings. He was a John Mad-den favorite, an example of “Boom!”

Reynolds was and is a recluse, on an island some-where in an ocean.

That vague reference is unfair. I know where he is, San Salvador in the Baha-mas – unless he is at his Mi-ami home. He chooses pri-vacy. I haven’t seen him in a decade. He has no need for applause, but he is linked with Kiner, whether he likes it or not.

Regarding the fi rst para-graph, thanks sincerely for all 60, Sarah. You are very special.Marvin West invites reader reaction. His

With the death of former Tennessee Sens. Howard Baker and Harlan Mathews this year, there are now only fi ve living former U.S. sena-tors from Tennessee.

MPC staff morale pointing south

They are, in order of age: Bill Brock, 83; Jim Sasser, 77; Fred Thompson, 72; Al Gore, 66; and Bill Frist, 62.

Brock calls Annapolis, Md., home, but he and his wife, Sandy, spend most of the year on a yacht now, cruising from Maine to Florida according to the time of the year. Thompson lives in northern Virginia and is currently acting on

Broadway. Sasser lives in the District of Columbia, while Gore and Frist both live in Nashville.

Of the living former U.S. senators (there are 165 of them) the oldest is Edward Brooke, the fi rst African-American popularly elected to the U.S. Senate. He is 94 and was elected the same year Howard Baker was also fi rst elected to the Senate in 1966. Elected from Mas-sachusetts, he now lives in Washington, D.C.

The next oldest senators are former astronaut John Glenn of Ohio at 92; Ernest Hollings, 92, of South Caro-lina; Jocelyn Burdick, 92, of North Dakota; Paul Laxalt, 91, of Nevada (now living in Washington, D.C.); James Buckley of New York, 91 (now living in Connecticut); and Bob Dole, 90, of Kan-sas, now living in Washing-ton, D.C. Hollings is also the

second-oldest living former governor. John Patterson of Alabama is the oldest at 92. Tennessee’s own for-mer Gov. Winfi eld Dunn is 87 and in excellent health, living in Nashville with his wife, Betty.

■ Mark Donaldson, director of MPC, must be wondering if his sudden hir-ing of Dave Hill was worth the controversy it has gener-ated. The 15 MPC commis-sioners must be wondering when this will all go away. Probably not until they rein in Donaldson, who appar-ently considers fair employ-ment practices a nuisance to ignore. No one was inter-viewed for the job Hill got.

After he gave the job to his longtime friend Hill without advertising the po-sition or allowing anyone else to apply, Donaldson told this writer he consulted with deputy city mayor Bill

Lyons on the Hill hire, but it seems he only advised Ly-ons he had done it and did not seek his advice. After all, Lyons’s boss, Mayor Rogero, had fi red Hill upon becom-ing mayor. It is unlikely she would be enthused by his return to the City County Building.

Now the only woman in a management position at MPC has been fi red by Don-aldson without explanation. Do not be surprised if Dee Anne Reynolds fi les a law-suit to get her job back plus extra pay.

Taxpayers will pay for this one. A lawsuit could drag on for over a year with frequent news stories. MPC staff morale is at an all-time low.

At some point the 15 MPC commissioners will have to step in and take charge of a situation that is quickly go-ing south. Right now they

say they leave personnel issues to Donaldson. The commissioners bear ulti-mate responsibility for what he does. This may be a case where Mayors Burchett and Rogero have to tell the 15 commissioners (whom they appointed) that enough is enough. They did this a few years back when they jointly told Gloria Ray to depart the former Sports Corporation.

■ When Commis-sioner Richard Briggs and Sen. Stacey Campfi eld spoke to the Knox Coun-ty Republican Women in Bearden, few differences emerged from their re-marks.

Campfi eld spoke well and benefi ted by Briggs failing to outline differences between the two. Only soft questions were thrown from the au-dience. A guest without a background in Knox politics could be forgiven for think-ing the two opponents were ideologically identical.

■ Gordon Ball, Demo-

cratic candidate for U.S. Senate, who says his net worth is between $10 mil-lion and $20 million (but probably higher), had failed as of July 11 to fi le a person-al fi nancial statement with the U.S. Senate Ethics Com-mittee.

He asked for a 60-day ex-tension on May 15. All other serious candidates such as Terry Adams, Lamar Al-exander and Joe Carr have fi led disclosure forms. Me-dia have given Ball a pass. His principal primary op-ponent, Terry Adams, has not raised this issue either, which is amazing.

John Sevier considered his grandfather, James Scott Sr. (1760-1823),

to be his right-hand man during the Indian Wars and said he would never enter battle without him. His fa-ther, James Scott Jr. (1797- 1838), built the handsome brick mansion Cedar Grove now occupied by Stevens Mortuary, established the Scott Flour Mills on First Creek which would oper-ate for more than 100 years and sacrifi ced his life for his neighbors during the 1838 cholera epidemic.

And F.A.R. Scott himself was proprietor of another early mill on First Creek, a principal in both the Taze-well Jacksboro Turnpike Co. and the Fountain Head Railway Co. (“The Dummy Line”) and husband to Mar-garetta Frances Deaderick, descendant of two promi-nent Knoxville families, the Deadericks and the Cro-ziers.

The elder James Scott was an early settler in Blount County where he prospered and owned con-siderable property. The County Court Minutes are replete with his functions in an offi cial capacity. He was a direct representative from his home county in the Second General Assembly of the newly formed State of Tennessee, at Knoxville in 1797; in the Third Assembly

in 1799; the Fifth Assembly in 1803; the Sixth Assembly in 1805; and the Seventh Assembly in 1807.

Sometime after 1815 he moved to Knox County and bought a large tract of land on First Creek and soon built a log house on the east side of present day North Broadway near Lawson Av-enue. He later built a small brick house on the west side of the street. James Scott Sr. died on Aug. 30, 1823, and is buried in First Presbyte-rian churchyard in down-town Knoxville.

James Scott Jr. was born in Blount County on March 12, 1797, moved to Knoxville as a young man and estab-lished the Scott Flour Mills which were in operation for more than 100 years. The mill was built between north Broadway and First Creek, near Coker Avenue.

On Jan. 27, 1825, he mar-ried Eliza Jane Naomi Bane Alexander Ramsey, the daughter of Col. Francis Al-exander Ramsey and Peggy Alexander and a sister to Dr. J. G. M. Ramsey, cel-ebrated Tennessee histori-an. The couple lived fi rst in the small brick home built by his father. He prospered and in 1833 built a large brick home across Broad-way which would become Stevens Mortuary many years later.

named the home, became noted as one of Tennessee’s handsomest dwellings with elegant architecture and interior furnishings. Years later the imported French wallpaper which graced one of the rooms would be painstakingly removed and applied at the Crescent Bend mansion on Kingston Pike.

During the cholera epi-demic of 1838, James Scott ministered to neighbors and friends without re-gard to his own health. He contracted the disease and died on Sept. 14, 1838, at only 41 years of age. He is buried with his parents in First Presbyterian church-yard.

Francis Alexander Ramsey Scott, the oldest son of James Scott Jr. and

Eliza Ramsey Scott, was born in his father’s fi rst brick home on Oct. 12, 1827. He graduated from the East Tennessee University (now the University of Tennes-see) in 1846 and would later serve on its Board of Trust-ees for 40 years.

In 1850 he built a small linseed oil mill on Sec-ond Creek (later the site of the L&N Railroad station) and the following year he opened a small tannery in connection with it. He sold the mill and tannery in 1853; but, when Civil War began in 1861, he again joined the company, this time in partnership with John S. VanGilder who made boots and shoes. The fi rm later became the Knox-ville Leather Co. and lasted until 1890.

He married Margaretta Frances Deaderick (1833-1909), daughter of David A. Deaderick and Elizabeth J. Crozier, members of two very prominent Knoxville families, on Sept. 24, 1857 at Fruit Hill, her parents’ mansion. They were parents of 11 children, born between 1858 and 1878.

In 1888 they occupied their mansion, Oak Hill, built on Scott Hill which was thought to be the high-est elevation in Knoxville at that time, high above his fa-ther’s Cedar Grove mansion although part of the same original plat.* The house was demolished and St. Mary’s Hospital was built on the site in 1930.

In 1867 F.A.R. Scott and J.C. Deaderick construct-ed a grist mill which they called the Trio Mill on First Creek (Broadway at Lawson Street) upstream from his father’s earlier mill. They made several noted brands of fl our: Magnolia, Silver Leaf, Choice, Famous and Little Valley Family. An-other specialty, their wa-ter-ground corn meal, was widely sold throughout East Tennessee and surrounding states. From 1877 to 1893, when John Dempster was the miller, the mill operated as Scott-Dempster & Co., but when Dempster retired it became Scott Bros. and Co.

F.A.R. Scott was also president of the Central Savings Bank and an incor-

porator of both the Tazewell and Jacksboro Turnpike Co. and the Fountain Head Railway Co. (“The Dummy Line”). He was also promi-nent in civic affairs and an active lifelong member of Third (later Fifth Avenue) Presbyterian Church.

An accomplished writer as was his youngest daugh-ter, Edith Scott (1878-1971), Francis Alexander Ramsey Scott passed away on Nov. 13, 1909, and is buried in the family burial plat in Old Gray Cemetery.

Faith UMC gets new pastor

Ridge UMC in Karns and currently is senior pastor of First UMC Maryville.

Brother Warren Clark and his wife

live in Fountain City, and he serves as choir director of Bookwalter UMC. Brother Steven (1951-2012) was an organist-choirmaster in Episcopal, Presbyterian and United Methodist congregations. Barbara’s mother was Libby Clark (1923-1994).

Barbara Clark has performed with the Chattanooga Symphony Orchestra and has been a violin instructor. She was ordained as deacon in 1996 and as elder in 1998. She has served as asso-ciate pastor at two Chattanooga-area Methodist churches and as pastor of First UMC-Copperhill (2002-2005), St. Elmo UMC (2005-2006) and An-derson Street UMC (2006-2012).

Most recently, she was a chaplain in Emory University Hospital’s clini-cal pastoral education program. Faith UMC is located at 1120 Dry Gap Pike. Sunday School starts at 9:45 a.m. and services are at 11 a.m. Everyone is in-vited to attend.

I’m sure you heard the one about the husband who bought his wife one of those “mood rings?” When she’s in a good mood, it turns green, and when she’s in a bad mood it leaves a red mark on his forehead.

While we may get a chuckle from this joke, fail-ing to control one’s anger is a serious spiritual prob-lem. I’ve sometimes heard people brag at how they lost their temper and really “let someone have it.” But such attitudes stand in stark op-position to one who has a Christ-like spirit.

I was a college student the fi rst time I went to Ger-many. Among the many memories of that trip, in-cluding the beauty of the land, is one memory that haunts me.

Our tour bus driver pointed out a tree-covered mountain in the distance, off to our right. It was an ordinary looking mountain, like many in East Tennes-see, except for its origin.

It was man-made.The mountain consisted

of the debris that the bomb-ings of World War II had left. The rubble had been piled up to the east of the town, and eventually was planted with trees. The driver said, matter-of-factly, “It won’t get any bigger.” (pause) “Unless something happens.”

Pray God, nothing will happen.

I have just fi nished read-ing the novel “The Book Thief,” which I bought in spite of the fact that it was labeled as a book for teens. (Maybe it was the haunting blue eyes of the little girl on the cover that snared me.) But now, having read it, I am very glad I bought it. It is an important book. Even so, I am fully persuaded that it is not a book for teens.

Like many other girls of my generation, I read “The Diary of Anne Frank” when I was in high school, and al-though I understood that it was true and real, I did not fully appreciate the import of it. Since then, I have seen the pictures of the living skeletons who were the sur-vivors of the death camps.

Years ago, however, I learned that things have

Lest we forgetI know your affl iction and your poverty. ... Do not

fear what you are about to suffer. Beware, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison so that you may be tested. ... Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life. Let anyone who has an ear listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches. Whoever con-quers will not be harmed by the second death.

(Revelation 2: 9a, 10-11 NRSV)

They were French, they were Jews, and they were you.

(The Book Thief, Markus Zusak)

changed in Germany.Nowadays, school chil-

dren in Germany do not walk in straight lines to their school cafeteria or to the rest rooms. After World War II, it was decided that there had been enough of regimentation and “falling in line.” It was time to en-courage independent think-ing and maybe even a little unorganized behavior.

The horrifying truth, however is this: during the recent Fourth of July week-end – a three-day period, 67 people were killed in Chi-cago, the third largest city in America.

What is going on in our own country? And what are we going to do about it?

Back to “The Book Thief,” now. It took me a while to catch on. (I have told you before: sometimes I am in the slow group!) The narra-tor of the story is Death.

(Author’s Note: July 14 was Bastille Day in France, another anniversary of the triumph of the human spirit over the chains of tyranny. It is the equivalent of our Fourth of July, and is ordi-narily celebrated with pa-rades, music and dancing in the streets. Interestingly, however, during the Ger-man occupation of France in World War II, the French stayed in their homes and did not celebrate Bastille Day.)

employees, and how many innocent children have been hurt by it. While anger, itself, is not sinful, if it is un-restrained it will invariably lead us into sin (Ephesians 4:26).

Friends, don’t let your anger cause you to lose sight of the fact that gentleness, longsuffering, kindness and self-control are fruits of the Spirit. You say I don’t know your spouse, your in-laws, your children or your boss, and what they put you through? Well, you’re right.

I don’t know to what extent your patience is tried. But I do know that the spiritual disciplines of gentleness, longsuffering, kindness and self-control, when put into practice, allow Christ to be refl ected in your life.

Friends, the next time someone threatens to ruin your mood, instead of leav-ing a red mark on their fore-head, allow Jesus to leave his mark on your life.Steve Higginbotham is pulpit pastor of Karns Church of Christ

A rare photo of Sonja DuBois

as a child

By Zoe RisleySonja DuBois is a Holo-

caust survivor. It may be a simple sentence, but it holds so much meaning.

DuBois showed the Shop-per interns a photo of Ney-land Stadium, which has approximately 100,000 seats. Fill the stadium up 60 times. That’s how many Jews died in the Holocaust. Six million people. To not be one of those people is amaz-ing.

When most people tell their story of the Holocaust they tell what happened during the war. She did tell us all that, but she took it further. She told us how the policies of Nazi Germany impacted her life long-term.

DuBois was born in Hol-land in 1940, just months after the war had started. When her parents regis-tered as Jews, they didn’t register her.

She was barely 2 when her parents boarded a train and left without her. They had entrusted their daugh-ter to a family friend. Both were murdered in Ausch-witz that same year. Both were just 29.

Sonja became a hidden child, putting everyone who gave her sanctuary at risk.

She lived with a childless Christian couple and moved with them whenever some-one questioned them about their daughter, the only girl in her class with dark hair. She was kept well hidden.

Since Sonja was an un-documented child, a pe-diatrician gave her secret checkups and a woman with a cow brought her cooked milk (which DuBois said she absolutely hated). She attributes her survival to the lack of communication at the time and the Lord’s value on her life.

Even though Sonja sur-vived one of the darkest times in history, she still felt she was in the dark. She didn’t know much about her birth parents and didn’t have any memories of them. She had always had a sense of emptiness about where her parents were.

When Sonja and her foster parents prepared to immigrate, they needed her to sign a passport. Her real name was Clara. She didn’t know her real name until she was 12. She saw a picture of her parents only once, when she was 6, and from then until 1999, when she contacted one of her distant relatives, she knew

little about her parents, and that haunted her for a long time. She met with her Aunt Alice who told her about her family.

Sonja DuBois doesn’t just share her story for kicks.

I asked if she thought telling her story would help prevent racial hatred and genocides in the future. She said, “If two people in a group of people I’m talking to realize when they have to make a tough decision, that what is popular is not always right.”

She wants people to be advocates for racial equal-ity. “It is your job, when you see someone being bullied or shunned, to let an adult know or to get to know the person being picked on. Most of racial hatred comes from a lack of knowledge.”

People talk about what they lose when they go through a horrible circum-stance. Sonja DuBois gained thankfulness. She says out loud every day, “Thank you Lord.” Sonja is so grateful to have her life. She is g rateful to be a survivor.

To invite DuBois to speak to your club or organization, email her at ronson@knol-ogy.net.

A day of faithBy Sara Barrett

First Presbyterian Church is considered “Knoxville’s fi rst church,” founded in 1792 and built in 1812 on James White’s fi eld of turnips. Church member Pat Armstrong gave the in-terns a behind-the-scenes look and a peek inside the adjacent graveyard.

The building has under-gone several renovations throughout the years, but there have been only 15 ministers since the church began. During the Civil War, the Union army occu-pied the building – letting their horses graze in the graveyard – for three years.

Armstrong likened the church’s infrastructure to that of our nation’s govern-ment. “The deacons look after operations sort of like Congress, and the elders would be the senators,” said Armstrong. The interns learned that seven U.S. presidents were Presbyte-rian, and the only minister who signed the Declaration of Independence was Pres-byterian.

In keeping with the theme of the day, Arm-

strong discussed the beliefs of the Presbyterian church and the change in atten-dance at FPC. He said he and his wife have lived in the same house since 1969, and he used to look out his window and know which church each family on his street attended. Nowadays, not so much.

“I guess it is just a cultur-al change, and there are a lot of independent churches starting up,” he said.

A walk through the graveyard shows sunken tombstones and trees so old and fragile they are held together with cables. The oldest marked grave is Wil-liam Blount’s from 1800. An inviting concrete bench is tucked in a corner where passersby may be tempted to rest a while.

“We encourage people to come in and walk around,” said Armstrong of the yard holding about 240 graves. “We’re located right on the corner of Church (Avenue) and State (Street). How ironic is that?” Info: www.fpcknox.org.Sara Barrett coordinates the intern pro-

PROVEN

Coexisting in KnoxvilleBy Donna Mitchell

Last week I wrote about how boring I felt Knoxville was. And then I was proven wrong again by digging a little deeper into the history of the city.

The interns visited three houses of worship located within a few miles of one another. Our fi rst stop was the oldest church in Knox-ville, First Presbyterian Church. This church houses the Community School of the Arts program (though it is not a part of the church) and relics from a member’s time in Africa. It has the founder of Knoxville, James White, buried in the grave-yard.

Next, we visited the

Temple Beth El where we saw original handwritten Hebrew scrolls adorned in silver and walls lined with amazing stained glass win-dows. Our last visit was to St. George Greek Orthodox Church. The worship area is covered from wall to wall with beautiful images of Jesus, the apostles and St. George.

As Rabbi Michaels from Temple Beth El put it, “Di-versity should be celebrat-ed.” That is the real message behind any religion; we are all different but still wor-ship for the same purpose.

At lunch, Holocaust sur-vivor Sonja DuBois looked at us around the table with solemn eyes and pleaded

that we make a difference. “Hate is a lack of knowl-edge,” she said.

“You are the leaders of tomorrow; the popular way is not always the right way.”

It really is a great thing that not only Knoxville, but also the country we live in allows us to have as many places of worship as we please. Kingston Pike, commonly known as “the church street,” is home to a mosque, a Greek Ortho-dox church and a Unitarian church right next to one an-other.

The best part of it all is that they can coexist next to each other. That’s the way it should be. Embrace the di-versity.

Pat Armstrong stands in the sanctuary of First Presbyterian Church. In the background is a mo-saic of Christ.

■ Inspired at Temple Beth ElRabbi Mathew Michaels

met with the interns at Temple Beth El and gave us a crash course on Jewish culture and customs.

Intern Kaila Bonds asked why Jewish men wear the yarmulke, and the rabbi ex-plained it was to show hu-mility. “What does a man do with his hat when he enters a church?” asked the rabbi. The interns said men re-move their hats upon enter-ing to show reverence.

“We cover our heads for the same reason,” he said. “All these religions you’re looking at, the themes are the same. The motifs may be different, but the rea-sons are the same. Just be-cause something is differ-ent doesn’t mean it’s better or worse, right or wrong … it just means it’s not the same.”

Rabbi Michaels showed the group what a Torah

looks like and explained why the pointer tool used to follow along while reading is made of silver. Only soft metals can touch the Torah, nothing hard that could be used to make a weapon of war. He also explained that when a religious item is no longer usable it is custom-ary to bury the item as a hu-man would be buried upon death.

The rabbi invited the in-terns back for service on Friday evening, and a few of them were planning to attend. Info: www.tbeknox.org.

■ St. George Greek OrthodoxThe interns switched

gears for a look at St. George Greek Orthodox Church af-ter visiting Temple Beth El. Tour guide Katherine Ev-ans invited us to recite the Lord’s Prayer with her be-fore entering the nave, and she lit a candle in honor of

everyone’s family.Images of saints and

apostles in stained glass, paint and mosaic tile wel-comed us as we sat in the front pews.

Evans said the fi rst priests in the Greek Ortho-dox Church were touched by the hands of the apostles, and each priest after has been touched by the hands of the priests before him. This has created a concrete connection throughout time to the original founders of the church.

A different saint is commemorated each day throughout the year, and Evans explained the dif-ferent between worship-ping a saint and asking for them to intercede on one’s behalf.

“We pray for everybody,” said Evans. “Every church, every nation and for our-selves. We don’t know if we’re saved or not, but we hope we are.” Info: www.saintgeorgeknoxville.com.

per-News interns report on their visit to the City County Building (meeting with Mayor Tim Burchett) and the federal courthouse (meeting with Judge Tom

Varlan and historian Don Ferguson).The Shopper-News intern program

businessMarvin Hammond promoted

young people, communityBy Sandra Clark

Marvin Hammond was the right leader for Halls-dale Powell Utility District when the board of commis-sioners hired him as only the second general manager in the district’s 50-year his-tory.

Did he move too quickly? Maybe. Did he move HPUD in the right direction? Abso-lutely.

Under his leadership, HPUD upgraded its waste-water plant, upgraded its Beaver Creek water treat-ment plant, replaced leak-ing pipes throughout the district, and built a second water plant on Norris Lake.

Under his leadership, HPUD invested in people – whether it was teaching la-borers to read and write or encouraging kids to return to college for advanced de-grees.

In the picture on this page, Marvin is congratu-lating Cody Humphrey who had just received his MBA from Lincoln Memorial University while working full time at Hallsdale Pow-ell. Cody, now older, still works for HPUD. He was at Monday’s board meeting.

Board chair Kevin Julian paid tribute to Mr. Ham-mond at that meeting.

“His vision for Hallsdale Powell was already set when I came on the board,” Julian said. “Marvin had big shoul-ders and he took the criti-cism for rate increases, but he did what he thought best based on 30 years experi-ence in the utility business.

“When it all plays out, people will appreciate his

vision. He will be missed.”When business leaders in

Halls were trying to block commercial development on the land that later became Clayton Park, Hammond was there at County Com-mission to speak.

Developers said their en-gineers had said fi lling the wetland on Norris Freeway was OK.

Hammond pointed out that the Titanic was de-signed by engineers, while Noah’s Ark was not.

Everybody smiled and the developers were sent packing.

When Darren Cardwell was promoted to succeed Hammond, he said he hoped to be a blend of his predecessors: Allan Gill and Marvin Hammond.

When Marvin’s kidneys malfunctioned, he refused dialysis, saying he did not want to put his fam-ily through the strain. “I’m ready to go,” he told every-one who came to visit. He lived at Tennova Hospice for less than two weeks, dying July 12, and held court with

a steady fl ow of visitors and friends.

Sen. Lamar Alexander telephoned Marvin and asked if there was anything he could do.

“Get EPA off our backs,” Marvin told him, concerned about Hallsdale Powell em-ployees and customers until the end.

“Dad will be remembered as a Godly servant leader, a generous southern gentle-man, and one who was always showing genuine Christian love for his fellow man, especially for the less fortunate among us,” his family wrote.

“Dad was a proud alum-nus of ETSU where he was member of the baseball and football programs in the 1960s. He also played minor league baseball for the Ma-con Peaches. He was a U.S. Air Force veteran and held the coveted Eagle Scout and Silver Beaver awards.

“He squeezed every ounce of life he was given whether he was working, fi shing, or hunting. He was proud to be known as a conservative, “deep water” Baptist and as an unworthy man saved and blessed by God’s grace and love.”

U.S. Rep. Jimmy Duncan remembers Hammond as his fi rst boss at the Holston-Chilhowee Rec Center. Jim-my was 15 and earned $1 per hour. Marvin was 19 and “told me what to do.”

Survivors include wife Kay Hammond; children: Jeff and Missy Hammond, Lisa and Darren Cardwell; brother James (Jim) Ham-mond; grandchildren: John and Xan Hammond, Amber and Colby Cardwell, and Megan Pratt; great-grand-daughter Lucy Rae Pratt.

Services were Tuesday at Salem Baptist Church, led by the Rev. John Hol-land with eulogies by Bill Landry, John Hill and John Valliant.

McIntyre has named new head prin-icpals for Gibbs and Central high s c h o o l s . Each is the third princi-pal in three years for his school.

Michael Reynolds, vet-eran principal at Fulton and most recently Farragut High school, has been moved to Central High School, re-placing Dr. Jody Goins who resigned to return to Clai-borne County High School

as principal. At Farragut, Reynolds has assembled

a stellar faculty and the school has consistently earned recognition in na-tional publications ranking public high schools.

Reynolds’ wife, Sallee Reynolds, is now principal at Hardin Valley Academy. She was previously an as-sistant principal at Central High.

Jason Webster is the prin-cipal at Gibbs High School, replacing Tom Brown who had said he would retire. Brown was unavailable for comment at press time, but never quite caught on at Gibbs High after years

of successful leadership at Holston Middle School.

Webster has been assis-tant princi-pal at Halls High and most re-cently at the L&N STEM Academy.

By Sandra ClarkWow! What are the odds of

three guys going off alone to evaluate 10 job applicants and coming back with almost iden-tical lists for the top three?

That’s just what happened at Hallsdale Powell Utility District when board members Todd Cook and Bob Crye, along with CEO Darren Cardwell, looked over the 10 applicants for Kevin Julian’s spot on the three-member board of com-missioners.

Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett will select one of the three nominees or he can reject the list, forcing HPUD to rec-ommend three more.

In a brief meeting Monday, the commissioners selected Ju-lian, Knoxville Police Lt. Kenny Miller and Bob Rountree.

Ten district customers ap-plied for the post: Cathryn Best, Eddie Busler, William Ron Houser, Kevin Julian, Suzette Lacy, Kenneth Miller,

Tausha Price, Phillip Daniel Raper, Robert Rountree and R. Larry Smith.

Three did not return a ques-tionnaire, Cook said. They were Best, Lacy and Raper.

Of the remaining seven, Cook and Cardwell ranked Ju-lian fi rst, Miller second and Rountree third. Crye ranked Julian and Miller fi rst and sec-ond and had Rountree in his top fi ve.

Julian is a teacher and coach at Halls High School. He has served as an HPUD commis-sioner since 2006.

Miller, who lives is Powell, heads the Internal Affairs Di-vision for the Knoxville Police Department and holds the rank of captain.

Rountree was director of property manager for the Pub-lic Building Authority from 1995-2007. He now works as a courier for Knox Dermatopa-thology Lab.

By Cindy TaylorBusiness networking was

the topic at the Powell Busi-ness and Profession-al Associa-tion’s July m e e t i n g . N e t w o r k -ing expert and owner of Referral E x c h a n g e O r g a n i z a -

tion (REO) Raeus Cannon shared tips on the best way to make and handle con-tacts during business or any other events.

“Networking today is less about business and more about creating relation-ships,” she said. “Two things you should never leave home without are contact (business) cards and a pen or sharpie.”

Cannon suggested keep-ing your own business cards in a right pocket if you are right-handed and keep cards you collect from oth-ers in a left pocket to avoid mixing them up. Her motto is, “When you network well you never need to sell.”

Morning Pointe director Tyner Brooks was the PBPA member spotlight speaker.

“A lot of people still think

of any type of assisted living facility as a nursing home,” he said. “We talk to families

about the d i f ferenc e and better quality of life, health and overall functioning for our resi-dents.”

T e r e s a U n d e r -

wood, events committee chair, and Sage Kohler, PBPA president, recapped the July 4th parade and Powell Station Park festivi-ties. They reminded busi-ness representatives to get July 4, 2015, on their calen-dar and prepare to partici-pate in next year’s parade.

Political candidates and elected offi cials Chancellor Daryl Fansler, Jason Zach-ary, Charles Busler, state Rep. Bill Dunn, Sandra Rowcliffe and Patti Bounds spoke briefl y about their candidacy.

June data comparable to last yearNews From The Register Of Deeds

By Sherry WittJune was a relatively

good month for real es-tate activ-ity in Knox County, as both sales and lend-ing fi gures closely re-s e m b l e d those re-

corded during June 2013. This June produced 978 property transfers while 2013 – a good year for local markets – June produced 1,039 transfers.

While the total number of parcels sold fell just short of last year’s levels, the aggre-gate value of property trans-ferred was slightly more. The total market value of property sold in June was just under $207 million, compared to $195.7 million

last June.Land sales were also up

some $20 million over the May totals. So far in 2014, the total value of prop-erty sold in Knox County is running about $87 mil-lion ahead of the pace set in 2013. The fi rst half of this year has produced total land sales of just over $981 mil-lion.

Perhaps the most encour-aging signs in June were in mortgage lending. For the month, nearly $302 million was loaned against real es-tate in Knox County, an im-provement of more than $50 million over May’s numbers. While last month’s activity did slightly underperform that of June 2013, it none-theless indicated a notable surge in mortgage markets. In the fi rst six months of 2014, mortgage lending in the county has been run-

ning over half a billion dol-lars behind the pace set last year, with about $1.38 bil-lion being loaned against real property between Jan. 1 and June 30.

The largest property sale involved a single waterfront parcel on Houser Road in West Knox County which sold for $2.94 million. The most noteworthy mortgage transaction was a Deed of Trust fi nancing the Walnut Street Garage in the amount of $17,750,000.

I hope everyone had a safe and happy F ourth of July weekend, celebrating the freedoms we enjoy, and remembering how blessed we are to live in the greatest nation on earth. Please do not forget to exercise your sacred right to vote in the Aug. 7 elections.

By Alvin NanceA single request for help

sparked a decade of volun-teerism for Bill Clan-ton, who e m b o d i e s the commu-nity aspect of KCDC.

Clanton, senior asset manager for Knoxville’s

Community Development Corporation, has volun-teered at the East Tennessee Community Design Cen-ter annual Jackson Avenue Fundraiser and Tour for more than 10 years. Clanton and some 20 of his fellow KCDC employees support the event by serving food, conducting tours and giving directions.

“The ETCDC are a great

bunch of people, and I like what they’re doing with the downtown area,” Clan-ton said. “The ETCDC has enjoyed our volunteers so much that they ask for KCDC specifi cally. They ask for me by name now.”

This year’s downtown fundraiser and tour was re-located from its typical loca-tion on the 100 or 500 block of Gay Street to The Stan-dard on Jackson Avenue. The fundraiser featured hors d’oeuvres, a silent auc-tion and exclusive tours of residences and businesses on Jackson Avenue.

Clanton fi rst got involved with the Community Design Center when coworker Ash-ley Ogle approached him about working the annual fundraiser. Clanton said it was his fi rst introduc-tion to volunteerism, and

after that, he was hooked. Over the past decade, he has served on KCDC’s Com-

munity In-volvement Committee, which orga-nizes KCDC volunteers for various c h a r i t i e s throughout the com-munity. He

served as KCDC’s United Way loaned executive and on the board of the Smoky Mountain Council of the Blind.

“KCDC introduced me to the world of volunteerism where you can support a good cause and have fun all at the same time,” Clanton said. “I’ve been in the hous-ing industry for 30 years and worked for several em-

ployers. KCDC is the most giving company I’ve ever worked for.”

Our KCDC employees do-nate their time every year to worthy organizations. The CIC, whose members include Jack Canada, Beth Bacon, Eugene Littlejohn, Shana Love, Jennifer Bell, Lisa Weddle, Tiara Webb and Joy Russell, plan vol-unteer opportunities at or-ganizations like the Boys and Girls Clubs of the Ten-nessee Valley, the American Diabetes Association, the Epilepsy Foundation of East Tennessee and many more.

I am proud of the em-ployees who, like Bill Clan-ton, have discovered that volunteering your time for worthy causes is both ful-fi lling and fun.

KCDC employees embrace community

By Dr. Donald G. Wegener

It may come as a surprise to you, but water is an essential part of any successful weight-loss program. In fact, restricting your intake of this life-giving liquid while you diet can have serious consequences. For instance, here’s what

can happen.First, by not drinking suffi cient

amounts of water, you can actu-ally cause your body to retain fl uid. This occurs because the less water you drink the more your body feels deprived and the more water it stores. As your body stores water, you become puffy and swollen. The extra weight you think of as fat may not be fat at all but a result of fl uid retention. Water, by the way, weighs more than body fat; it also alleviates hunger.

Second, restricting your water intake promotes fat deposits. Since your body uses water, as the major component of blood, to transport nutrients and wastes, a lack of it can

cause fats and other toxins that normally are disposed of to remain in your body, including that dimpled fat commonly referred to as cellulite.

Dieters and non-dieters alike must establish what I call a “fl uid balance,” where the amount of water going into the body approximately equals the amount of water being excreted. You won’t have to consume gallons of water to fi nd this balance. Generally speaking, 10 eight-ounce glasses of water daily are suffi cient.

Once you have reached this fl uid bal-ance or “breakthrough point,” you’ll see the incredible difference water can make in your diet program and health. When your body is in fl uid balance, pounds and inches begin to disappear, provid-ing, of course, you are also reducing your caloric intake. Just as water can wash away the dirt from the outside of your body when you bathe, taken internally it washes away toxins and allows your liver to process unwanted fats.

Next time: Comfortably increase your water intake

The merry pranksters of the Front Page Follies are at it again, and no one is safe.

From Gov. Bill Haslam to Sheriff Jimmy “J.J.” Jones to the Affordable Care Act – otherwise known as “Obamacare” – the major local, state and national newsmakers of the past year are all subject to parody and good-natured ridicule.

“We are an equal-oppor-tunity offender,” says head scriptwriter David Lauver.

The Front Page Follies, now its 36th year, is held annually to raise money for journalism scholarships at the University of Tennessee and Pellissippi State Com-munity College. The event also features a reception, si-lent auction, dinner and live auction.

Capping off the evening is the lively vaudeville-style show. Director Terry Sil-ver-Alford of UT’s Theatre Department leads a cast of print and broadcast jour-nalists, professors and pub-lic relations practitioners and several talented “ring-ers” from local plays and musical productions.

The show is presented by East Tennessee’s Society of Professional Journalists and Front Page Foundation.

New cast member Mar-garet Elliott says she’s hav-ing a ball. “I have made new friends, learned some crazy songs, and I get to perform for a good cause. With school tuition rising every semester, it’s great to be part of an effort to put scholarships within reach of students.”

Elliott, who works in fur-niture sales, says her favor-ite skit is one she’s not even

Director Terry Silver-Alford, who had just arrived back in the states from a choir trip to Switzerland, holds the Follies gang together.

Stacy Holley, fi nancial coun-selor at 21st Mortgage and marketing freelancer, is rarin’ to go! She’s a four-year Follies veteran.

John McNair, director of technology at the UT College of Communication and Information,hams it up in the opening number of this year’s “Front Page Follies.” Behind him are MelanieStaten and Margaret Elliott.

Cast members give a rousing ending to the open-ing number. Shown are Dennis Perkins (behind arm,) Megan Jones, John McNair, Will Hoskins, David Lauver, Melanie Staten, Tony Hernandez, Ernie Roberts and Margaret Elliott. The chairs rep-resent stage microphones. Photos by Carol Zinavage

in. “Gov-a-Chameleon,” a takeoff on Culture Club’s 1983 hit “Karma Chame-leon,” pokes fun at Gov. Haslam for trying to ap-pease both the moderate and extreme wings of his political party.

Elliott says the song’s performers “will bring the house down, guaranteed!”

Cast member Stacy Hol-ley is herself a past recipient of a Follies-funded journal-ism scholarship. “I feel that it is now my part to give back and help future gen-erations,” she says.

“This is my fourth Fol-lies,” said Holley, “and this one is as much fun as ever! Being able to dance and perform for money – I mean scholarships – is a lot of fun!”

She is partial to the Tom Petty song parody “Refu-gees,” in which Sheriff Jones, played by Dennis Perkins, clashes with an im-migrant advocate played by Ernie Roberts.

This year’s Follies hon-oree is Robin Wilhoit, for whom the current scholar-ships will be named. The popular WBIR-TV anchor will be celebrated with a rousing rendition of “Rock-in’ Robin.”

Other highlights are “So You Know … When It

Snows,” set to the megahit “Let It Go” from the movie “Frozen,” and sung by me-teorologists David Aldrich

Duncan for Congress

Conservative Leadership for East Tennessee

Working on Issues that Matter to YouA Personal Message from Congressman Duncan

Paid for by Duncan for Congress, Jason Brown, Treasurer

Congressman John J. Duncan Jr.

Early voting: July 18-Aug. 2Primary Election Day: Aug. 7

Defending the Constitution I took an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution, and that is exactly what I work to do each day. I especially focus on protecting our Second Amendment rights and securing our borders against illegal immigration.

Balanced Budget I don’t believe in spending money we don’t have. With one of the most fiscally conservative voting records in Congress, I consistently vote to reduce government spending in order to protect Social Security and control the federal debt.

Growing our Economy I want to eliminate government over-regulation so more businesses can open and expand, creating better jobs for Americans. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce endorsed my re election, saying it will “produce sustained economic growth, help create jobs and get our country back on track.”

Repealing Obamacare I believe the biggest problem with the so-called Affordable Care Act is that it is unaffordable already. I will continue to speak out against it at every opportunity, and I believe our federal dollars are better spent on things like improving care for our nation’s veterans.

America First I oppose spending billions of dollars on people in foreign countries who hate us. We need to stop trying to take care of the whole world and start taking care of our own country and putting the American people first, once again.

By Wendy SmithIt would be easy to as-

sume that rising sixth-grad-er Terrence Tolliver spent the summer attending a high-priced art camp.

He debuted his new mov-ie, aptly named “Terrence’s Slam Dunk Movie,” at the Claxton Complex, home of the University of Tennes-see’s College of Education, Health & Human Services. The star of the movie is a clay Harlem Globetrotter that performs a series of outrageous slam dunks − with assistance from Toll-iver. The animated video is composed of over 300 photos, along with video of Tolliver himself, decked out in Harlem Globetrotter gear and making impressive real-life baskets.

He created the fi lm with the help of masters-level art education student Matthew Mikos, one of several gradu-ate students who are teach-ing art at Inskip Elementary School’s new University-As-sisted Community School program.

While it is offi cially a summer program, this is the county’s second Univer-sity-Assisted Community School. The pilot program is at Pond Gap Elementary School. Professor Bob Kro-nick, who spearheaded both programs, received fund-ing for Inskip’s three-day-a week summer program from donors in Raleigh, N.C. Through “creative fi -nancing,” he plans to con-tinue an after-school pro-gram through the fall.

A slam-dunk art show

the video Tolliver created during Inskip Elementary School’s

summer University-Assisted Community School. Photos by Wendy Smith

He hopes to fi nd donors who will enable the program to continue year-round. In-skip’s summer program al-lows kids, who range from rising fi rst-graders through

middle school students, to have tutoring in math and English, along with art and a popular circus class. They are hungry for new experiences like the art class, he says.

“They lap it up like a dog that’s gone without water for 30 days.”

Inskip, like Pond Gap, has a large percentage of poor students. Elizabeth Noe, who teaches sculpture at Inskip, says the students are “ener-getic, happy and wonderful.”

Young students work in a wide variety of mediums, like painting, drawing and printmaking, during the summer program. Last week, they rode a bus to UT for an art show featuring their favorite projects.

Cleopatra Richart, a ris-ing sixth-grader, described her watercolor work, which was adorned with original Haiku poetry.

“I’m a huge fan of color,” she said as she explained a painting titled “Rainbow Girl.” Her mentor, Karrah Bennett, taught her about warm and cool colors.

Bennett said she noticed that Richart wrote in her

sketch book, and she encour-aged her to use poetry in her art. Reading about artists provided reading practice.

Art enhanced learning for other students, too. Ris-ing fi fth-graders Braxton Upton and Aaniyah John-son focused on photography and learned to edit their work on a computer. Ris-ing second-grader Sumiyah Crawford learned about symmetry by working on a quilt-inspired collage.

In addition to the Uni-versity-Assisted Commu-nity Schools, Knox County Schools and the Great Schools Partnership pro-vide seven other commu-nity schools, including a program that will begin this fall at South Knoxville Elementary. Community schools provide after-school education and enrichment for students as well as adult education and other servic-es for families.

Olympic MastBy Cindy Taylor

It’s hard to catch Can-dace Mast in the dry – and

that’s a good thing. Pow-ell’s own gold medal w i n n e r from last year’s Re-gional Se-nior Olym-pics swim competition

brought home four silver and two bronze medals from the 2014 Tennessee State Se-nior Olympics. This qualifi es Mast to compete in the 2015 National Senior Olympics.

Mast has been swimming competitively since high school but is increasing her workout program since win-ning regional last year and state this June. She complet-ed two days of swim events in June, competing in six events at the Indoor Sports Complex in Brentwood. To prepare for nationals, Mast is adding some new moves to her workout.

“I make health and swim-ming my fi rst priority at least fi ve days a week,” said Mast. “I swim between 25-35 laps per week, take water aerobics and strength train to get ready for events now.”

During the state compe-tition, Mast won the silver for the 50 yard backstroke, the 100 yard backstroke, the 50 yard breaststroke and the 100 yard freestyle. She took the bronze in the 100 yard backstroke and 50 yard freestyle.

“The state competi-tion has given me indelible memories,” she said. “My family attended my fi rst day

of events to cheer me on and I loved the camaraderie and support among competing swimmers.”

Mast says her fi rst state competition as a senior has reawakened a boldness that comes out when she is in the pool – but she has other reasons for training besides bringing home awards.

“I am competing for far more than just winning medals,” she said. “My train-ing supports my goals of losing weight, increasing cardiovascular health and developing stronger mus-cles.”

Mast will travel to Min-neapolis for the 2015 Na-tional Senior Olympics.
