By Shannon CareyIt was the summer of 2005

when I came to work for the Shop-per-News. Publisher Sandra Clark took one look at me, decided I was some kind of tree-hugging hippie and assigned me to an environ-mental beat.

Next thing I knew, I was having lunch with Knox County Water-shed Coordinator Roy Arthur.

For years, I was there anytime anyone mentioned Beaver Creek or the many streams that fl owed into it. I put on waders and hunted for benthic macroinvertebrates, those tiny bugs that indicate wa-ter quality. I listened to meetings of the Beaver Creek Stakehold-ers Advisory Council. I tromped through the woods to see future sites of outdoor classrooms.

And all the while I was getting to know more than just the ins and outs of water quality. I was getting to know the great people who cared enough about the creek to dedicate their time to cleaning it up, folks like Roy Arthur, Bar-bara Boeing, Dr. Bob Collier, Bob Braid, Lee Robbins, Mike Blan-kenship, Ruth Anne Hanahan,

Beaver Creek Watershed Association disbands

Carolyn Greenwood, Edythe Nelle McNabb and the late B.F. Dalton.

So here we are 10 years later, and the Beaver Creek Watershed Association is disbanding after a vote at its fi nal meeting July 16.

The meeting was bittersweet. Arthur gave a presentation about the BCWA’s work since its 2003 inception: $1,603,000 in competi-

tive grants, 9,000 feet of stream-bank restored, 21 farms installing creek-friendly BMPs, three out-door classrooms, a massive com-munity education and outreach effort.

Don’t forget that Cox Creek has been removed from the Tennes-see Department of Environment and Conservation’s endangered

stream list.Don’t forget TDEC naming Bea-

ver Creek the strongest watershed restoration project in the state, or the Environmental Protection Agency naming it the strongest in the Southeast. Don’t forget the beautiful watershed plan written by Greenwood and designed by Boeing.

“It’s been all over the country,” said Arthur. “I get calls from Cali-fornia.”

I could go on.Arthur says work is not fi n-

ished in Beaver Creek Watershed. The Beaver Creek Task Force and Water Quality Forum are forg-ing ahead with stormwater fi xes in Cedar Crossing Subdivision in Halls and a park in Karns. But the BCWA is winding down.

Why? Arthur said the core group of volunteers that brought the association to life 12 years ago is still the group running the show. No one else has stepped up to carry the torch. To put it simply, they’re tired.

But this reporter, and a grateful community, will not forget their work.

Road workKUB crews will close one

lane of traffi c along a section of Merchant Drive between the Clinton Highway intersec-tion and Tillery Road through Sunday, Aug. 9, as work is performed on the water dis-tribution system. One east-bound and one westbound lane will be maintained on this section of Merchant Drive.

Natural gas line work continues in Powell. Crews were set to close a short section of Commerce Road between Spring Street and Wells Drive on Monday and Tuesday. Also, workers were slated to close a section of Collier Road to alternating traffi c between West Emory Road and Galaxy Way on Monday.

A section of W. Emory Road near Spring Street will be reduced to one alternating lane of traffi c from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. through Friday, July 24, also part of the gas line project.

By Sandra ClarkThey had so much fun, they’re

going to do it again – 9 a.m. Satur-day, July 25, Powell Station Park (behind the splash pad).

Led by the Powell Business and Professional Association, volun-teers are clearing underbrush on 12 acres owned by Knox County. It will be maintained by the county’s de-partment of Parks and Recreation.

Expect an announcement next week on a fundraising campaign to build a nine-hole disc golf course on the site, which extends to Beaver Creek and is wooded on both sides.

Last Saturday was awesome. First came Boy Scout Troop 154, jogging into the park. Scoutmaster is Frank Rose, assisted by Wendell Thomas. The boys pick up trash in the park twice a year already and were happy to see others helping.

Next came the Panther football team, led by head coach Rodney Ellison and assistants Pace Melvin (offensive line) and T.J. Weston (defensive coordinator and line). The players were eager to help,

It’s our park now

and most had an opinion on the layout of the golf course.

“We’re building it for them,” I said.

“No, I’m building it for me,”

said Rose. Lee Robbins, a stalwart volun-

teer for Powell, engaged Meishawn Fain to help him pull weeds from the rain garden. It looked wonder-

ful when they were done, sporting just half the number of plants it had before they began.

By Betty BeanNot to say that those who run for offi ce can’t

be also good people, but the qualities that made Anne Woodle a crappy politician were the very things that made her a fi ne human – un-swerving fealty to what she believed to be right and an unfettered refusal to compro-mise her principles, even when she knew that the stands she was taking were in-compatible with longevity in offi ce.

Like the time she served on the elec-tion commission and refused to vote to hire the candidate for administrator fa-vored by Knox County’s most powerful lo-cal Democrat (that would be Joe Armstrong) because she believed another candidate was more qualifi ed. Woodle’s candidate won, but she lost her seat come reappointment time.

And she probably never lost a night’s sleep over it.

Same deal with her single term on the school board. Knox County Schools had run into

trouble with the federal government because students who attended schools outside the city limits enjoyed bus service while those who attended schools inside the city limits had to

fend for themselves. Since the county couldn’t afford to pay for bus service for all, it had to take drastic measures.

The political fallout was severe, even though anybody with two grams of gray

matter knew the inequity couldn’t con-tinue. The resulting parental responsi-bility zones meant no more bus service for families living close to schools, and that city kids living some distance away would ride instead of walk. Woodle voted

for the changes and became a one-termer.That one hurt, but probably more for

the vicious racist attacks on her teenaged son, Jason, who is bi-racial, than for anything that happened to her.

Woodle, whose sudden death last week from a catastrophic stroke has left her friends (and there are lots of them) stunned and reel-

ing, was a single parent and loved her son fi ercely.

health & lifestyles

Dr. Yau

It was a simple break and a simple solution. When Teresa Williams fell and fractured her hip, Dr. Paul Yau saw no need for a total hip replacement.

“She didn’t have a lot of arthritis to begin with, she didn’t have a lot of hip pain beforehand,” said Dr. Yau, the ortho-pedic surgeon who han-dled Williams’ surgery at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center. “There are times where we do hip replacements, but she’s a runner – we don’t advocate a lot of folks run on hip replacements. So from the get-go, when I talked to her about her activity level and what she wanted to do af-ter recovery, it was pretty much a no-brainer – just � x her hip.”

It took only 20 to 30 minutes for Dr. Yau to repair her fractured ball joint, but Dr. Yau says it took “a lot of years and a lot of training” to

learn the surgical skill required to make a bone repair stable enough to withstand the demands of long-distance running.

“I was proud of her and I was impressed that we could get her up and moving that quick. We have invested a lot of energy and resources building a comprehensive service line for hip fracture care,” said Dr. Yau, who is chair of FS-RMC’s orthopedic department. “We’re trying to be less invasive with surgery; we’re trying to be less stressful with anesthesia, doing surgery in such a way that people can put full weight on the hip right away. I guess it’s the culmination of all the efforts we’ve put into this program, and it’s paid off.”

While some cases leave no other option than total hip replacement, the inter-disciplinary team of physicians, nurses, anesthesiologists, radiologists, and others at FSRMC seek to “save hips” whenever possible, particularly when the patients are younger and still active.

“When we see younger, more athletic indi-viduals, we try to save hips,” said Dr. Yau. “Cer-tainly, there are options to replace hips when they break but sometimes you can save them

in younger individuals, particularly those who want to run. Saving the hips actually allows them to do more and allows them to return to a higher level of function. Saving hips is always the most desirable option because as good as implants are, nothing is as good as what God gave you.”

While hip fractures are most common in the elderly, Dr. Yau says there’s evidence that they are increasing among those in the their 50s and early 60s, largely because of osteoporosis due to diet or genetics. “I’ve had some patients in their early 40s with fractures,” he added. “Some people are just more active. These are young ac-tive people trying to do different activities and they break their hips.”

At the same time, Dr. Yau says, being physi-cally � t and active should help reduce the risk of fracture. “The more people are active with things like weight-bearing exercise, getting out in the sun (a natural source of Vitamin D), hav-ing a good diet – all of this is very helpful for preventing hip fractures,” he said.

Also useful in reducing the risk of hip frac-ture, said Dr. Yau, is to develop one’s proprio-

ception, or ability to sense the body’s position,motion, and equilibrium. “It can help develop the coordination and placement of the footwhen you are trying to be active and putting it ingood positions as opposed to at-risk positions,”he said. “These sort of activities develop skillsbetween your brain, your nerves, your musclesand your feet – all those things are very helpfulwhen you are trying to prevent hip fractures.”

Yet another useful tool in reducing falls, he said, is the ancient mind-body practice calledTai-Chi because of the slow, intentional mo-tions used. “The motions where you go back-wards are particularly helpful because you can’tsee where you are going – you rely on sensationthrough the foot, through the knee and throughthe hip and putting those in good positions anddeveloping the � ne motor skills that controlyour leg position, the strength, the coordina-tion of that leg as your move, both forward,backward, sideways and all those different di-rections. All those things have been shown toreduce the incidence of falls and if you don’tfall, it’s kind of hard to break your hip.”

On the road againhip fracture doesn’t stop Knoxville runner

It was no fractured fairy tale – the truth hurt all the way to Teresa Williams’ bone. But when the Knoxville runner broke her right hip during warm-ups last Feb. 3, ortho-pedic surgeon Dr. Paul Yau of Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center was there to pro-vide a storybook ending.

Just seven weeks after fracturing her hip, Williams, a determined 58-year-old runner with the Knoxville Track Club’s Knox Run group, crossed the 50-yard line at Neyland Stadium to a chorus of cheers, applause, hugs and high-� ves.

Never mind that she had actually walked “only” the fourth leg of the Covenant Health Marathon’s four-legged team relay, a dis-tance of 6.5 miles – she did so on a walker decorated with ribbons and balloons and draped with a poster that read: “My hip might be broke BUT NOT my determination or spirit. 7 weeks post surgery.”

“I had to get back. I had to,” said Williams, who had already “run” three 5Ks on her walk-er in the weeks prior to the Covenant Health relay. “I think there was a reason it hap-pened. I don’t know if the Lord just singled me out that night or for that particular period or what, but as you look at it and watch how people reacted in these races when I was us-ing the walker, they’d say ‘That’s determina-tion!’ or ‘Don’t give up. I like the don’t-give-up attitude.’ I thought, ‘Maybe that’s what it’s about, that people would see that and be inspired.’”

Along the way, photographer Paul E� rd captured Williams in the Covenant Health relay on her walker, a shot published along with the race results in the Knoxville News Sentinel. Pleased not only by her own per-formance but also that of her surgery at Fort Sanders Medical Center, she dropped off a copy of the newspaper at Dr. Yau’s of� ce.

“I’m extremely proud of her,” said Dr. Yau. “The fact that I put that much energy into saving someone’s hip and they actually used it for that purpose is extremely reward-ing just to know I could make a difference in her life. It’s certainly a routine surgery but it has made an enormous impact on people’s lives. Seeing her in the paper is such a great

reward for all those years of training.”“Now, I have to concede, she is a very mo-

tivated individual,” Dr. Yau added. “So she needs to be recognized for her hard work, how much effort she put into rehab – we couldn’t do any of that for her – she had to do the exercises herself, get on her feet, work the muscles and do everything she could to recover from surgery.”

Williams, who has been running mostly 5Ks (3.1 miles) and half-marathons (13.1 miles) for the past � ve years, was training for an upcoming race when she broke her hip while doing “side-steps,” a warm-up exercise. “I don’t know if my leg didn’t pick up right or what, but I went down like a domino.”

The fall resulted in a “clean break” of the ball joint. Fortunately, the fractured bones did not move, enabling Dr. Yau to use three cannulated screws to put the bone together

again rather than replacing the hip. “When Dr. Yau came in and told me what

he was going to do, I said, ‘But I’ve got a half-marathon in April! What am I going to do?!’ Plus, I had a half-marathon set that Saturday and I knew I couldn’t do it. But he said, ‘You can clearly walk that one.’ And I said, ‘OK. When can I run?’ And he said, ‘In May.’ And I said, ‘that’s do-able. OK.’”

The day after surgery, Dr. Yau returned to Williams’ room to introduce the team and how they would be working with her. “He said, ‘This is Teresa Williams, a 58-year-old woman who’s a runner, and she wants to get back into it. The team is going to help you get there.’”

That mission began almost immediately with therapy during her hospital stay and continuing with home health care after she was discharged two days after surgery. In no

time at all, Williams was on her walker andusing 5Ks to rehabilitate her hip. By May16, she had tossed the walker aside andwas jogging and walking a half-marathonin Viola, Tenn.

Since then she has run several races,and a nephew who is a cross-country coachtells her that he’ll have her quali� ed forthe Boston Marathon in two years. “That’swhat HE says – I say I don’t have 26 milesin me,” she says with a laugh.

Her times aren’t yet what they oncewere, but for now, she’s just happy to bejog-walking at every opportunity. On herarms, she wears compression sleeves em-blazoned, “One day I won’t be able to do this. Today is not that day.”

“I’m usually crying when I cross the � n-ish line of my half-marathons,” she said.“I’m just so excited to be able to do it be-cause, who knows? I could’ve been crip-pled or not able to participate at all. Those sleeves take on a whole new meaning everytime I put them on because today is not theday I’m going to say, ‘I can’t do it.’ DNF(Did Not Finish) is not acceptable.’ I don’ttrain to get DNFs!”

Yet, Williams is quick to credit Dr. Yaufor those � nishes.

“Dr. Yau is a great physician. He re-ally is,” said Williams. “I’ve had some otherproblems – runners usually have runner’sknee – so I told him about my knees giv-ing me trouble and I wanted to make surethey didn’t do that while I was doing a half-marathon. So he said he would make surehe took care of them. So, if I have to haveanything done, he’s the person I will go to.I recommend him whenever I can.”

“I like a doctor who listens to whatI have to say. Who knows more abouttheir body than yourself?” she added. “Dr.Yau understood how important runningwas to me. When he saw the picture ofme on the walker at the Covenant Mara-thon, I think he saw how important it wasto me to get back. I’ve got to. Those are my friends. Running is my connection toeverybody.”

Jamey Oran from Oak Ridge showed up with equipment and advice. He was thrilled to see a skate park nearby. He and wife Sherrie own Decked Out, an equipment pro shop for disc golf and skateboarding.

John Diamond and Ben Hedrick represented them-selves as they pitched in to help. Both play disc golf and are excited to have a course close by.

State Rep. Bill Dunn came well prepared with insect repellent, safety gog-gles and gloves. While he used a chain saw, he outfi t-ted youngsters and set them up to drag brush to a central site where it was stored.

Justin Bailey said the brush will be chipped and spread on walkways and around the disc golf holes.

“The park is open right now,” Bailey said. “It’s not

Until additional park-ing is constructed, visitors should park at the splash pad on Emory Road adja-cent to the high school. Then walk back toward Beaver Creek. The park is bounded by the softball fi eld on the east and a fence on the west. Woods on both sides are part of the park, including a “dinky” rail line built about 100 years ago by the brick-yard company.

The Heiskell Senior Cen-ter group gathered for its monthly meeting in July and hosted a fun, festive day to celebrate our nation’s independence.

Ready, set, feud!

The program included a heated match of “Family Feud” with guests compet-ing for a chance to head the line for lunch – and for bragging rights. The game went on for many rounds before the winning group

was fi nally crowned. Knox County Commis-

sioner Charles Busler up-dated the group on county business and played the “Feud” with the group. Fol-lowing the game, he shared a story of two unidentifi ed members who chatted up his new bride at the recent Daylily Bloom Festival at Oakes Farm in Corryton. Busler mentioned that it’s taken him weeks to set the record straight, and it was all in good fun.

The group will meet 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 6, for the bingo mara-thon event. The marathon will run for 45 minutes with a 15-minute break. Everyone is welcome to join the fun.

Lynna Schult serves a red,

ing the July meeting at the

Heiskell Senior Center.

And the true fact that can be backed up in court (as Cas Walker used to say) was that Woodle pretty much loved all children. As director of the East Tennessee Chil-dren’s Rehabilitation Center for more than 30 years, it was her job to care for chil-dren in fragile health. Dur-ing her off hours, she’d turn down dates and social occa-sions to take a kid to a movie.

Indya Kincannon, who met Woodle in 2004 when Kincannon fi rst ran for school board, is in Europe with her family and had to break the news of Woodle’s death to her young daugh-ters, Dahlia and Georgia. She describes Woodle as a supporter, mentor and a true friend.

“Anne met my daugh-

ters when they were just 6 months old and two, and since day one made them feel special and important. She created annual ritu-als – birthday adventures, thrift-shopping, cookie bak-ing and decorating – that Dahlia and Georgia loved.

“Since our parents live far away, Anne was like their surrogate Tennessee Grand-ma, who could just love, spoil and enjoy them. Anne read to my kids when they were little, and later started a book club for Dahlia and her friend Maya. My girls consider Anne their dear friend, not just a friend of mine who’s nice to them. She really connected with kids in a way that is rare. We will miss her so much.”

And so will I.

Once upon a time, long, long ago, Tennessee called itself Wide Receiver U. The thought lingers. It is now a myth.

Tennessee has an inter-esting history of catching thrown balls and a current crop of potential standouts blessed with large reputa-tions and many stars from recruiting analysts. Unfor-tunately, there is more talk than touchdowns. Stats do not measure up to hype.

practice complaints about dropped passes. Once or twice he exclaimed over his portable public address sys-tem, according to reports from Sevierville, that re-ceivers were falling short of expectations. Run the route right. Catch the ball! Block somebody.

No way will the coach give up hope. Tennessee’s football future is based on being able to throw and catch and run. Mike DeBord is supposed to help make it happen. Linemen are ex-pected to contribute.

On the April morning of the Orange and White game, there was a tent revival of Wide Receiver U talk in the parking lot of Calhoun’s on the River. Under the tent, signing autographs and posing for pictures, were old Vols you should remem-ber – Willie Gault, Anthony Hancock, Joey Kent, Tim McGee, Anthony Miller, Marcus Nash, Peerless Price and Larry Seivers.

Later in the day, at Ney-land Stadium, others tried to restore relevance to the name Wide Receiver U. To

what degree they succeeded is a matter of opinion.

Marquez North, Josh Malone, Josh Smith and incoming fi ve-star Preston Williams, when/if he gets well, should be primary weapons. They have the most potential. Jason Croom and Johnathon Johnson can make a signifi cant differ-ence. Von Pearson will be a factor if he makes it back from purgatory.

Interesting that slot re-ceiver Pig Howard was most productive last season. Pro scouts are beginning to think the little guy might play in the big league.

North’s highlight as a Vol was that unbelievable left-handed snag and clutch against his helmet in the 2013 South Carolina game. It led to the winning fi eld goal.

Malone hasn’t had a highlight. He had several in high school as No. 5 re-ceiver prospect in the coun-try – 31 senior touchdowns scored four different ways. His Tennessee freshman numbers were 23 receptions for 231 yards and one touch-down. In the last six games, he caught four passes for 22 yards.

So far, none of the cur-rent Vols has rivaled his-toric greats.

Tennessee got a late

start in air ball. There waslittle of that foolishness insingle-wing times. AfterDoug Dickey created quar-terbacks (Dewey Warrencomes to mind), Volunteersstarted building receivingcredibility. Johnny Millsand Richmond Flowerscaught several passes. Seiv-ers became a two-time All-American.

As I recall, serious talkabout Wide Receiver U be-gan soon after Kippy Brownjoined John Majors’ staff in1982. He helped recruit andrefi ne Miller, McGee, AlvinHarper and Carl Pickens.

The thought matured assix Tennessee receivers be-came NFL fi rst-round picks.The Peyton Manning era re-inforced the claim and putKent and Nash in the schoolrecord book. Price madeit big in the 1998 nationalchampionship game.

Robert Meachem, Ced-rick Wilson, Donte’ Stall-worth, Jermaine Cope-land, Jayson Swain, CraigFaulkner, Bret Smith, CoryFleming – there were sev-eral with similar pedigrees.Justin Hunter and Cordar-relle Patterson fi t the form.

Bob Whetsel will soon retire as the city’s redevel-opment director, and he doesn’t mind stepping down before current projects are completed. Before one wraps up, another starts, he explains.

Bob Whetsel hits the road

“The city is an ongoing project.”

He’s witnessed the be-ginning − and end − of many projects since be-coming redevelopment di-rector in 2008. He had no way of knowing the growth he’d witness when he came to Knoxville in 1974 to teach and coach football at Bearden High School. (Among his players was Tim Burchett, who still calls him “Coach.”)

Bob and his wife, Me-lynda, bought a restored

Victorian on Luttrell Street in 1980. They bought other homes in the neighborhood as investment property, and in 1986, he retired from teaching to sell real estate. He eventually met Vic-tor Ashe, who announced his fi rst mayoral campaign from the Whetsels’ front porch.

In 1993, Whetsel was hired as service director for the city, and he stayed in the position for 15 years until Bill Haslam, during his second term as mayor, asked him to come upstairs to work with him on rede-velopment.

Under Haslam, Whet-sel’s work was focused on downtown. When Madeline Rogero took the mayoral helm, his focus shifted to the South Waterfront.

He’s seen many changes since he began working with the city. He helped draft the city’s fi rst snow plan and helped plant 1,000 trees during the Ashe adminis-tration. The city has grown in square miles and seen the addition of numerous parks

and greenways.He had a front-row seat

to the ex-plosion of downtown. The city doesn’t have to recruit business to the area, he says.

“ B u s i -nesses come

to us because the downtown economy is so strong.”

He can’t point to one thing that he’s proudest of, except keeping his job for 23 years. Throughout his time with the city, he’s had peo-ple around him who helped him accomplish his goals, he says.

“I’m proud that Knoxville has been a very profession-ally run city.”

His years of experience allow him to take the long view of redevelopment like the Cumberland Avenue project. The public is fi nd-ing its way around the con-struction, he says, but it’s been a strain on small busi-nesses. Phase I will be com-

pleted by the end of the year, shifting construction from west of 22nd Street to east of 22nd to 16th Street for Phase II, he says optimisti-cally.

He’s confi dent that he’s leaving the department in competent hands. Dawn Michelle Foster, the current deputy director, will move into his position, and Anne Wallace, now a project man-ager, will become the new deputy director.

Whetsel plans to kick off his retirement by bik-ing across the country. In September, he’ll travel with Dan Duncan to San Diego to begin a nine-week trek to St. Augustine, Fla., with Adventure Cycling Associa-tion.

Early next year, he and Melynda, a retired art teacher, plan a cruise. Aside from travel, he doesn’t have plans, other than manag-ing his rental homes in the Fourth & Gill area. He defi -nitely won’t return to real estate. “I’ll never put my name and number on a sign again.”

In a phone interview last week, Superintendent Jim McIntyre confi rmed that performance-based pay in-centives will not be offered to teachers in the upcoming school year. The only excep-tion is for teachers and ad-ministrators in Teacher Ad-vancement Program (TAP) schools.

McIntyre confi rms:Performance pay not an option

McIntyre said Rodney Russell, director of human capital strategy, is chairing a group of teachers to re-work the old APEX bonus formula that was funded primarily through grants

such as Race to the Top. The bonuses earned in the 2014-15 school year will be paid in November or December, he said, from a $3 million, one-time grant proposed by Mayor Tim Burchett from the county’s fund balance.

The superintendent hopes to have Russell’s plan fully vetted by teachers and the school board prior to implementation midway in the 2016-17 school year. He has put the whole matter on the school board’s Aug. 5 agenda for discussion.

Knox County is in com-pliance with state mandates for differentiated pay, Mc-Intyre said, because of in-centives for TAP schools, instructional coaches, lead teachers and retention/re-cruitment bonuses for hard-to-staff schools.

He said APEX bonuses

were consistently earned in one school year and paid in the next budget year. “In the early years, this was not an issue because (the bo-nuses) were largely funded by grants. Only recently has it become more of a chal-lenge.”

I believe McIntyre con-fi rmed my analysis piece from last week despite some

of his staff saying the con-clusions were incorrect.

To push the envelope, what’s next?

Knox County Schools is broke, with fi nancial obliga-tions outpacing funding.

There’s a chance the dis-trict’s reserve fund will dip below the state-required 3 percent this year. (Ah, for the good old days when

County Commission was demanding then-Super-intendent Allen Morgan spend down his “excessive fund balance” before asking for increased funding.)

The just-signed Memo-randum of Understanding gives the county’s fi nance director, Chris Caldwell, unprecedented authority to dabble in school fi nance and make recommendations.

None of this is good news for teachers or kids. It portends further cuts to established school pro-grams, such as the horticul-ture program at Halls High School, which was eliminat-ed last year. Look for CTE/vocational programs to be hit hardest with academic electives close behind.

Expect class sizes to grow and increased pressure on experienced (and high-est paid) teachers to retire. These challenges require thoughtful analysis and a

spirit of cooperation and trust that’s been lacking.

Let’s start with Rodney Russell, a good guy who works hard. Let’s reconnect him with kids, perhaps in a classroom. With a director of human resources (Kathy Sims) and several assis-tants, do we really need a director of human capital strategy?

Businesses and families are doing more with less, while Knox County Schools does less with more. Let’s lose the evaluation rubric, the strategic compensation matrix and the committee that’s reformatting incen-tive pay. APEX is gone, and it’s not coming back.

Our priority should be teacher pay that’s competi-tive with surrounding coun-ties. Let’s launch the new year with teachers and kids excited about returning to school, not feeling over-whelming dread.

cause he has made a name of his own. The City Coun-cil member-at-large, born in 1958, was named after his grandmother, Georgia – “Like the state,” he said. “Over the years, I’ve had a lot of fun with this name.”

Wallace is the chief op-erating offi cer of Coldwell Banker Wallace & Wallace, an 80-year-old real estate fi rm founded by his father and grandfather. His broth-er, Jim, is the chief fi nan-cial offi cer. The company’s enduring success has made it a pillar of Knoxville’s business community and gave Wallace a head start on his fi rst run for offi ce. This year, he’s running for re-election unopposed and enjoys broader support than before.

Among his new sup-porters is former council member Carlene Malone, a longtime neighborhood ad-vocate who has never been a

favorite of the pro-business sector. Malone surprised a lot of people in April when she publicly praised Wal-lace’s work during a pivotal, called City Council meeting devoted to dissecting the work product of the sign task force, which labored for three years. Wallace co-chaired the task force, and Malone said his thoughtful, measured approach won her over. He still sounds amazed by her endorsement.

“She said it publicly. She is very knowledgeable, and I have learned a lot from her – and oh, my gosh, I’ve never had any woman stand up and proclaim her love for me, publicly.”

Wallace, who has a de-gree in ornamental hor-ticulture and landscape design from UT, said his views on signage regulation evolved during his time on the task force.

“I’m a business owner,

and I have a lot of signs. It was a tough call, but I really care about the way things

look. Aes-thetics are a big part of economic d e v e l o p -ment, and businesses are at-tracted to places that look good.

It’s a complex issue and the more I looked at it, the more I looked at other cities, the more people I talked to, the more I concluded that we can make an improvement. That feeling just kind of grew. In the end, I think we can make a difference, and over time I think lower signs will improve the appear-ance of Knoxville.”

The amended sign regu-lations, which will reduce the height of on-premise signs, were approved 6-3

Rethinking George Wallace

Betty Bean

Wallace

He has considered his name both a curse and a blessing and became acute-ly aware of this dichotomy when he decided to run for political offi ce nearly fi ve years ago.

“I was on the radio with Ed Brantley and Bob Thom-as when Ed, who’s got these bushy eyebrows, leaned in and said my name with a certain amount of disdain:

“George Wallace?”“I said, ‘Well, Ed, not

THAT George Wallace.’ ”Nowadays, George C.

Wallace (he even shares a middle initial with the late 45th governor of Alabama) doesn’t run into that kind of reaction nearly as often be-

on fi rst reading and were to go before City Council for a second reading vote this week.

Pension reform is anoth-er thorny issue City Council has dealt with during Wal-lace’s fi rst term, and, again, he said his opinion evolved.

“We wrestled with the idea of pulling out the fi re and police (who receive enhanced benefi ts) depart-ments, but I began to ap-preciate the value of that for retention of employees, and in the end, we came up with a hybrid plan. I never could quite get comfortable with the notion of making it a 401(k), and I helped author a little bit of the hybrid plan. It’s not so rich but gives them some kind of benefi ts program, and we raised the vesting period from fi ve to 10 years. I think it was fair; I hope it was.”

Wallace’s name is begin-ning to be mentioned among the possible contenders to succeed Mayor Madeline Rogero when she leaves of-

fi ce in four years. He has clearly developed the art of dodging questions about his aspirations.

“I’m fl attered when peo-ple say that, but I have a business I’m very entwined with, and it would take some untwining and some unraveling for me to run. I don’t know how that would play out, but I’ll say this:

“We have a great city, and we have a lot of people to thank for that. We are standing on the shoulders of those who went before us.”

And what about that sig-nature bow tie?

“At fi rst, the reaction to my wearing it was absolute-ly comical. I remember Vic-tor Ashe telling me, ‘You’d better lose that bow tie. You’ll never win with that bow tie.’ I said, ‘I like it that it bothers you.’ ”

Wallace and his wife, Stephanie, a retired school-teacher, live in West Knox-ville. Their son, Nick, is a public defender in Mont-gomery, Ala.

The recent release of city candidates’ fi nancial disclo-sures was not particularly striking except for the Mark Campen-Jennifer Mirtes contest, where she raised more than he did by $1,000. But they raised less than $3,000 between the two of them.

For an incumbent council member (Campen) to have raised only $350 in June shows Campen is either su-premely confi dent of re-election or he does not think his opponent is a threat. Last time, Campen was unopposed. He simply has never run a contested race. He is the quietest member of council and a reliable vote for Mayor Rogero.

VictorAshe

Mirtes outraises incumbent Campen

Mirtes has a clear op-portunity to win an elec-tion that will not exceed 5,000 voters in November if Campen continues to be in-visible. Campen is a likable, serious incumbent who has a campaign style that is modest and under the radar.

Campen failed to attend his colleagues’ receptions over the past two months; they would have been a good place to meet people. He has

not held any event to bring his supporters together. His opponent could beat him if she wages an active cam-paign on real issues.

On the other hand, Campen might wage a more public campaign. Right now he does not have the funds to do a single mailing.

Three other incumbents running are Finbarr Saun-ders, Marshall Stair and George Wallace. Wallace is unopposed, and Stair’s op-ponent, Pete Drew, is not considered credible. Saun-ders’ major opponent will be Paul Bonovich, but it is unclear how serious this Se-quoyah Hills resident will become.

■ Mayor Rogero is sit-

ting on $76,718, which she can spend for most any-thing except personal use. Often this is used for travel and dinners plus donations to other campaigns. Since she cannot seek a third term, she may hold on to it for some other offi ce she might seek in the future or have a fund available to do political work when she re-tires. She can also use it for her favored candidates in the upcoming council con-tests.

■ Cindy Mitchell’s fi -nal City Council meeting as city recorder was last night, July 21. She became an in-stitution and was widely ad-mired. She will be missed. Her successor is William

Johnson, 31, who starts at the same age Mitchell did over 34 years ago. He will start out at $52,000 a year, which is $24,000 less than Mitchell was making when she retired.

■ Knoxville lost a committed civic activist with the passing of Anne Woodle last week. She served on the school board and openly advocated her causes without worrying about the political fallout.

■ Dawn Michelle Fos-ter, the new director of re-development for the city starting Aug. 31, will see her salary jump $15,000 to $115,000 a year plus a car allowance of $5,830 a year. Anne Wallace, who becomes the new deputy to Foster, will see her salary jump another $10,000 to

$85,000 a year.When announcing pro-

motions and/or new hires, the Rogero team routinely does not mention the sal-ary. This writer will bring that information to you as city residents are footing the bill. The recent promo-tion of Chris Howley in city engineering did not include his new salary. One ex-pects some pay hike for a promotion, and the public has a right to know.

■ Debate: The WestKnox Republican Club will host a debate in Farragut between Karen Carson and Jason Zachary on Thursday, Aug. 6, prior to the Aug. 12 GOP primary, according to Alexander Waters, club president. Time and loca-tion have not been deter-mined.

A-6 • JULY 22, 2015 • POWELL/NORWOOD Shopper news

By Betty BeanSome came to Knox

County to be with their sons or daughters. Some moved here a while back to follow their jobs. Some were born here. Another, Fred Pardue, a tail gunner in World War II who fl ew 30 missions over Germany, was grand mar-shal of Powell’s 4th of July parade.

But most all the Morning Pointe of Powell residents who came to a get-together with Shopper-News report-ers last week have some-thing in common – they’d rather look forward than back.

They are concerned about accessible health care, the nuclear deal with the Iranians and whether to take Confederate fl ags down from public places.

One resident, Dr. Harry Ogden, a retired physician from Fountain City, recalled that when he started prac-ticing medicine, he had one nurse and one offi ce worker, charged $3 for offi ce visits and $10 for house calls and often took produce or chick-ens for trade.

“I couldn’t do that today. I’d have to have 25 or 30 people in my offi ce. There’s no way to be a solo practitio-ner now,” he said.

Ogden volunteered to help at the Interfaith Health Clinic, which treats the working poor for no, or very low fees, and ended up its director. He said he worries about health care because it’s so important.

country’s nuclear assets. Heads nodded in agreement when Ogden observed that it reminded him of Brit-ish Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain’s pre-World War II pact with Adolf Hit-ler that Chamberlain said ensured “peace in our time.”

“Two days later, Ad-olf Hitler invaded Poland. That’s how much the treaty meant to Hitler. And I think that’s what it means to Iran,” Ogden said. No one disagreed.

Although they didn’t cut President Obama any slack, nobody was particularly fond of Sens. Lamar Alex-ander or Bob Corker, either, and Clayton Brewer said he’d term-limit them all, if he could.

There were mixed opin-ions about the Confeder-ate battle fl ag controversy, with some saying that fl ags on public property repre-sent history and should stay where they are, and others, like Ogden, saying that the fl ags are divisive and should be displayed in museums, not on fl agpoles.

“Very prominent muse-ums,” Ogden said. “I believe it is proper that they be brought down.

Muriel Brewer disagreed: “I think we’ve got more seri-ous problems.”

“Nowadays everybody wears their feelings on their sleeves,” Fred Pardue said.

Nobody disagreed on the issue that drew the stron-gest reaction: changing the name of the Lady Vols.

“The name change is a mistake, and I’d rather watch the Lady Vols. They’re better players. Team play-ers, not in it for themselves,” said Bob Dupes, who worked

for the Secret Service after he retired from the military.

“It’s a terrible mistake, what they’ve done. Very dis-rupting and I am very much opposed,” Ogden said. “The women’s program is very important. My daughter played softball in Fountain City, and she’s very upset.”

Dr. Harry Ogden Sr. has opinions on most topics and he’s not

shy about expressing them.

Muriel Brewer arrived late with husband

Clayton, not pictured. They claimed to

have been waiting for the late Betty

Bean, but they might have been read-

ing Clayton’s list of blonde jokes.

Bobby Dupes has adopted a casual

I have no idea why someone decided to set up a camera on the ocean fl oor, but I am grateful they did. You may have seen this footage on the same morning news show I watch. I was fascinated by it, and touched, as well.

A squid (one of God’s less handsome crea-tures!) picks up a coconut shell he discovered on the sea fl oor and carries it in one of his tentacles while walking (I promise you – walking!) on two other tentacles to the place he wanted it. He put it down, climbed into it, carefully curled all of his tentacles into the bottom half of the shell, and closed the lid (roof?).

The commentators said this was the fi rst re-corded example of an in-vertebrate (that is, spine-less) creature exhibiting intentionality: having an idea and purposely carry-ing it through to comple-tion.

To me it was touching

So God created the great sea monsters and ev-ery living creature that moves, of every kind, with which the waters swarm … And God saw that it was good.

(Genesis 1:21 NRSV)And Jesus said… “Foxes have holes, and birds of

the air have nests; but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.”

to know that every crea-ture wants a home.

A fox wants a den, a squirrel wants a nest, a gopher wants a hole, an eagle wants an aerie. Ap-parently, a squid wants a shell.

People are certainly no different.

I spent three years working with the home-less. It was a life-chang-ing, soul-changing expe-rience for me. I remember seeing the shining faces of the newly housed; their relief, their sense of be-longing, their newfound safety were palpable. Some of their stories con-tinued as successes; oth-ers didn’t.

Such is the nature of humankind, I suppose.

FAITH NOTES

Planting seeds of service

Every day, encourag-ing neighbors. That is what Melissa Davenport and stu-dents from Halls Middle School and Christian Acad-emy of Knoxville are doing this summer.

Davenport and a group of students from Faith Promise Church started EDEN gar-dens as a way to encourage and serve others. “We talk about serving others and our community at church,” she said. “Through some re-search, we found a way for middle-school students to serve in a safe, practical way.”

Local food pantries usu-ally don’t have a large supply of fresh produce on hand, so Davenport and the stu-dents tilled a section in the side yard of her home, built planting boxes and planted tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, watermelon and cantaloupe. Her parents even pitched in by loading a truck with soil from Indiana to fi ll the beds.

Davenport, a teacher at CAK, has used this as a teaching opportunity by helping the students build rain barrels to collect rain-

Marcus Orton fi lls in the garden with soil.

Samantha Hile and Callie Stewart water plants in the garden. Photos submitted

water and a compost bin. “I want the students to be good stewards of the envi-ronment and for the project to be as eco-friendly as pos-sible.” She also guided the students through making three different organic pes-ticides and plans to track the effectiveness of each.

In addition to student help, many families have gathered to work together

on the project. It is Daven-port’s hope that the students will be able to see who gets the food through additional volunteer opportunities.

She hopes to start a garden at school and expand the project next year and include potatoes and beans. Anyone interested in Project EDEN can contact Davenport via email at mdavenport@CAKmail.org.

‘All the pancakes!’Kern’s Bakery inspires interns

By Emma DaleAt fi rst glance, the old

Kern’s Bakery is a mess. Erected in 1931, it is 90,000 square feet on 14 acres of land. The bakery can no longer serve its original purpose. But where most developers would see a great place to put a new Walmart, David Dewhirst sees exposed brick, oak fl oorboards, and a chance to make Knoxville unique.

He calls what he and his colleagues do “historic de-veloping.” His group spe-cializes in buildings built long ago. They know how to fi nd the unique elements underneath all of the ter-rible 1980s offi ce space put over them.

Although Dewhirst ad-mits that a Walmart will probably make more money than anything he would put here, he hopes that young people today will be more interested in buildings with authenticity and “soul.”

“I mean, when you walk into Applebee’s, you never say, ‘Wow! That’s differ-ent!’” Dewhirst said.

And Kern’s certainly is different. The bakery is full of peeling pastel jade walls, almost colonial-looking in-door walls and windows, and a particularly eye-catching set of robin’s-egg-

blue stairs. And that’s just the front offi ce.

The actual factory fl oor, now devoid of all of the hamburger buns Dewhirst says they used to make here, is sitting in semi-darkness. It looks like something out of a steampunk picture, full of tangled contrap-tions criss-crossing the ceiling and fl oor. Surpris-ingly, about 80 percent of the original machinery has been cleared out. He point-ed out the real brick fl oor and the behemoth oven that another bakery is coming to dismantle and use for an-other 100 years.

“Things were built to last back then,” said Dewhirst.

Dewhirst plans to capi-talize on the nearby Urban Wilderness, a 1,000-acre forest along downtown’s south waterfront — some-thing he’s fi ercely proud of and says that one day all Knoxvillians will be as well. A stacked-stone, 1800’s-style tunnel on the Kern’s property leads right into the Urban Wilderness. Around 10-11 privately owned and symbiotic businesses will use different parts of the factory for things ranging from bike rentals to brew-ing beer; there may even be a climbing wall. Dewhirst estimates that the bakery

will cost around $10 million to renovate.

Still, the most amazing thing about the old bakery isn’t what Dewhirst is prob-ably going to turn it into. It’s the way the imaginations of the young people he believes so strongly in run wild at every twist and turn of an abandoned factory.

For the interns as we toured the bakery, a Quonset hut became a wedding cha-pel, a truck loading dock be-came an amphitheater, the offi ce above the main fl oor was suddenly a branchless, industrial treehouse. Some of us even clamored for the giant, dusty old hamburger bun pans he showed us. He handed them out, to be used for varying purposes in high-schoolers’ and middle-schoolers’ homes.

“Now I can make all the pancakes!” one of the in-terns, Zoe Brookshire-Ri-ley, exclaimed with glee.

All of this excitement, and the impromptu game of soccer started with a ball found on the factory fl oor, proves right what Dewhirst shared with us at the begin-ning of the tour, “We hope that young people will want to go to a place that looks real and authentic, and not like the strip mall down the road … a place with soul.”

By Charlie HamiltonYou know when you go

into newer department stores and they all look about the same? In every town and city today in the U.S. you al-ways see a Walmart, Lowes and many other stores and restaurants.

Well, do see anything dif-ferent about these buildings? Do they have any unique characteristics, or any sto-ries that they can tell?

Many older buildings are thought to be useless, non-effi cient, and way out of style for any newer devel-opment. People tear down older buildings so they can build strip malls and big box stores. The Emporium in downtown Knoxville was built in the 1880s and has

been restored for new pur-poses. The old White Lily fl our plant has been restored for new purposes, too.

Now, David Dewhirst, and his team are bring an-other building back to life. The old Kern’s Bakery is off Chapman Highway right after you cross the Henley Street bridge. The bakery was built in 1931. Dewhirst plans to do some renova-tions and repurpose its unique architecture.

The building has a lot of personality and is located next to Knoxville’s Urban Wilderness.

You don’t see many older buildings today, and many of them are fading away ev-ery day. It is our job to help preserve the past for future.

By Maggie WilliamsLast Tuesday, the in-

terns went to UT’s Ar-cheological Research Lab. We got to clean some ar-tifacts from South Caro-lina, found by Ph.D. can-didate Kendy Altizer.

To clean the artifacts, all you need is some wa-ter and a toothbrush. There were all sorts of

objects, such as animal bones, pottery pieces, buttons and even an in-tact glass bottle. I found two pieces of pottery that fi t together!

We all learned a lot about what you can fi nd in the ground. You can volunteer there to clean artifacts. It was very en-lightening and enjoyable.

Matching the pieces

By Shannon CareyRain foiled our plans

to take Shopper-News in-terns into the fi eld to work on an archeological dig site with experts from the UT Archeology Research Lab. We were going to see how ground-penetrating radar works and join Knox Coun-ty Mayor Tim Burchett on a metal-detecting adventure.

Instead, we went back to the lab. As rain drummed on the roof, interns learned about the excavation of the Confederate line at Morgan Hill, now the site of UT’s So-rority Village. Mike Angst told interns that written records like journals and letters were important to in-terpreting the fi nds at Mor-gan Hill.

Burchett joined interns for the presentation and spoke about his hobby.

“No pun intended, but I really dig all this,” joked Burchett.

Interns glimpse history

‘Cheaper than a psychiatrist’By Charlie Hamilton

One interesting fact that you would might not know about Knox County Mayor Tm Burchett is that he metal detects as a hobby. Burchett met us at our visit at the UT. Archeological Research Lab, and explained a little about this hobby. He told us a story about a man he encountered one day while he was metal detecting at Lakeshore Park.

He was just walking around as usual, and a man in a white coat walked up to him, asked him if he was Mayor Burchett, and said “What are you doing?”

Burchett replied that he was metal detecting, and that this was “a cheaper hobby than going to a physiatrist.”

The person in the coat replied, “You are right; I am a physiatrist, and it is cheaper.”

He also told us about some of his fi nds, too. He said he was digging one day and hit something hard, and he thought it was just an old paint can. He pulled it up, and it was rounded. Turns out it a breast plate from the Civil War. Burchett also explained that he was in a metal detecting club, and told us about some of the fi nds they have presented to

By Maddie OgleWould you believe that historical artifacts have been

found in Knoxville, Tenn.? Archeologists from UT’s Ar-cheological Research Lab have found cannonballs, bul-lets and armor, from the battle of Knoxville near Kingston Pike. They also know, from different shades of clay dirt, where or what something might’ve been.

This is a job that takes patience and time, because if you rush and break an artifact, it could be very challenging to fi nd all the pieces. But once they come back to the lab, they scrub and wash each dirt-covered artifact until it’s clean. Then, it could take a very long time to track down all the missing pieces. And when it’s done, we have discovered a piece of history!

Archeology takes patience

Searching for treasuresBy Betty Mengesha

The UT Archeology Re-search Lab welcomed the Shopper-News interns to learn a bit about the cultur-al and environmental his-tory of Knoxville. We were able to meet Kandi Hollen-back and Mike Angst who work together to discover all that Knoxville has to of-fer. It was surprising to see just how much history could be dug up in our backyards.

Many parts of Knoxville have been explored in order to learn about the city’s his-tory during the American Civil War. Angst explained that they have found rifl e trenches, gun emplace-ments, drainage ditches, and fi replaces that were left behind during the war. UT has been able to research and use what they have

found in the fi eld to learn more about the events that took place in our very own Knoxville.

The archeologists search for several artifacts aging from 100 to 1,000 years old. They also work to preserve the archeological sites for future generations, so they too can learn about the past. Whether it’s blazing hot or pouring rain, they are out in the fi eld.

It is always wonderful to hear a person speak so pas-sionately about their job and all that comes with it. Even Mayor Tim Burchett was lucky enough to hear about the department’s discover-ies and the history that is involved. The mayor also shares a passion for history and is looking for his own treasures, too!

Then, Angst, Kandi Hol-lenbach and Kendy Altizer took interns upstairs to help clean artifacts Altizer brought back from a dig in

Charleston.“This is a big help,” said

Altizer. “This saves me at least two days of work.”

interesting hobbies people might have.

■ Fun at the labWhen you think of arche-

ology what comes in mind? Do you think about a per-son in Egypt searching for mummies, and artifacts?

That is one part of arche-ology, but do you know that you might have artifacts right here in your backyard? We had the honor of taking a tour throughout the Uni-versity of Tennessee’s Ar-cheological Research Lab. We met Mike Angst, Senior Archeologist and Kandi Hollenbach. They showed us some of their discoveries on the expedition at Morgan

Hill next to UT campus.The artifacts and evidence

of a Confederate basecamp from the Civil War were re-markable. On our tour we

also got to wash some arti-facts from a recent dig site inSouth Carolina. Thank you,UT archeology team, for ourvisit at the archeology lab.

By Betsy PickleThere are plenty of peo-

ple in this world who love boxing, but even those who don’t (present company in-cluded) usually fall for a good boxing movie. Fingers crossed, that’s the case with “Southpaw,” opening Friday in local theaters.

Jake Gyllenhaal plays a light heavyweight boxer who makes it to the top, only to have everything tragi-cally taken away. He fi nds his salvation in a rundown gym where a retired fi ght-er turned trainer (Forest Whitaker) gives him hope that he can climb back up and regain the trust of those he loves.

Directed by Antoine Fuqua (“Training Day”),

the R-rated action drama also stars Rachel McAdams, Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, Naomie Harris and Victor Ortiz.

The way-back machine fi res up for “Pixels,” a pae-an to the 1980s heyday of videogame arcades. In this PG-13 action comedy, aliens mistake video feeds of clas-sic arcade games as a decla-ration of war, and they at-tack Earth.

Four friends (Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Pe-ter Dinklage, Josh Gad) who spent their boyhoods saving the world one quar-ter at a time at the arcades fi nd themselves doing it for real as the aliens base their warfare on arcade-game strategies. (Here’s hoping

After champion boxer Billy “The Great” Hope (Jake Gyllenhaal) and his longtime manager, Jor-

dan Mains (Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson), part ways, Billy hits rock bottom in “Southpaw.”

Gyllenhaal, Sandler lead new fl icks

the fi lm solves the mystery of how Gad, a good 15 years younger than the others in real life, supposedly spent his childhood with the other three.)

Michelle Monaghan, Sean Bean, Brian Cox, Jane

Krakowski, Dan Aykroyd, Lainie Kazan and Tom Mc-Carthy also star for director Chris Columbus.

Another novel by John Green (“The Fault in Our Stars”) comes to the big screen with “Paper Towns.”

Teen Quentin (Nat Wolff) is left with a mystery when his friend and neighbor Margo (Cara Delevinge) dis-appears after taking him on an all-night adventure. With the help of friends, Quentin follows cryptic clues to track

down Margo and solve some of life’s bigger mysteries.

The cast includes Austin Abrams, Justice Smith and Cara Buono. Jake Schreier (“Robot & Frank”) directed.

Downtown West is open-ing “Cartel Land,” a big win-ner in the Sundance Film Festival’s U.S. Documentary competition. Director Mat-thew Heineman embedded himself in the action as two vigilante groups (one U.S., one Mexican) squared off against Mexican drug car-tels to do what governments have failed to do.

By Carol ShaneOne of Knoxville’s most

creative, innovative, ful-fi lling arts organizations is very busy right now, en-thralling audiences with its current production.

Through the end of this month, the Knoxville Children’s Theatre pres-ents “Bambi: A Life in the Woods.” By all accounts, it’s a roaring success and a very special experience.

As East Tennessee’s lead-ing producer of stage plays for children, KCT counts “Bambi” as its 69th produc-tion. The company is also the area’s leading producer of new works, having produced 27 original plays since 2008.

“KCT’s plays are always based closely on a great work of literature,” says ex-ecutive director Zack Allen, “and our ‘Bambi’ is a faithful adaptation of Felix Salten’s classic children’s book. The play was written by well-known stage actor and play-wright James DeVita, whose plays have been performed all over the country.”

About the similarities be-tween this play and the 1942 Disney movie, Allen says, “The Disney fi lm contained many of the elements of the book but also took many lib-erties. But both feature the maturation of a young deer into a stag. He makes many friends, including a friend-ly rabbit, and faces many dangers, mostly posed by humans. There are funny parts, thrilling parts, sad parts and all the emotions that come from living a ‘life in the woods.’ ”

The play features 13 ac-tors age 9 to 16.

Zak Terry, an eighth-grad-er at Bearden Middle School, plays Bambi. Formerly seen as the White Rabbit in “Al-ice’s Rumpus in Wonder-land,” Zak counts “Bambi” as his sixth KCT appearance. He is the son of Stacy Stewart and Scott Terry.

Ryan Cross plays the Great Prince. He attends ninth grade at Christian Academy of Knoxville, and this is his seventh performance at KCT.

Ryan is the son of Jennifer and Douglas Cross.

Ani Wederitch plays Fa-line, Bambi’s friend. She is a sixth-grader at Bearden Middle School. This is her third show at KCT, having most recently been seen in “Harriet the Spy.” Ani is the daughter of Jill Werderitch.

Other KCT veterans in this outstanding ensemble cast are Jake Green, a junior at West High and the son of

Jill and Craig Green; Ma-ria Kauffman, daughter of Sarah and Chris Kauffman and a seventh-grader at West Valley Middle School; L&N STEM Academy ninth-grader Lisette Paul-tre, daughter of Hope and Jimmy Paultre; seventh-grader Elijah Boyd Payne and 10th-grader Kathryn Payne, the son and daughter of Kathy and Sean Payne; Ethan J. Reed, the son of Kerry Reed and a versatile eighth-grader who acts and stage manages; Ava Brad-shaw, daughter of Cara and Mike Bradshaw and a fi fth-grader at Bluegrass Elemen-tary; and Caroline Dyer, a junior at South-Doyle High School, KCT veteran since 2009, and the daughter of Amie and Scott Dyer.

Making their KCT de-buts are Izzy Fenech, a fi fth-grader at Northshore Elementary School and the daughter of Tiffany and Ja-son Fenech, and seventh-grader Abigrace Kimsey, the daughter of Bethany and Troy Kimsey.

The Knoxville Children’s Theatre presents “Bambi: A Life in the Woods” at 7 p.m. Thursday-Friday, July 23-24; 1 and 5 p.m. Saturday, July 25; and 3 p.m. Sunday, July 26.

James Harrill

By Bonny C. MillardThe parents of Mad-

die Harrill and Em-ily Barger found a way to honor the memory of their young d au g h t e r s and provide help and support to

others through The Butter-fl y Fund.

James Harrill, father of Maddie, spoke to the Rotary Club of Farragut, about the nonprofi t organization that he and his wife, Christina, and Brian and Misty Barger, parents of Emily, created not long after their daugh-ters died.

“Both of these little girls were diagnosed with a rare form of childhood cancer in 2007 and passed away with-in about three weeks of one another in 2008,” he said.

The fund’s goal is to raise awareness and support for families and children deal-ing with pediatric cancer.

In early 2007, Harrill heard about the daughter of two high school friends, the Bargers, who had been

diagnosed with cancer, andlater that year, the Har-rills’ daughter became illand was diagnosed with thesame rare form of cancer,Rhabdomyosarcoma. Em-ily Barger was about twoand a half years older thanMaddie Harrill, but the twogirls became close friends.

The families leaned oneach other for support, andthe girls responded to theirterminal illness by fully re-lying on God, he said.

The Butterfl y Fund, un-der the East TennesseeFoundation, hosts threefundraisers a year: a blacktie gala, a 5K run and a golftournament. The nonprofi thas raised about $600,000since its inception, fundingprograms at Children’s Hos-pital, where the girls weretreated, and similar orga-nizations. All four parents,who work full-time jobs,make no money from it.

“They (Maddie, 5, andEmily, 7) helped make thisworld a better place,” Har-rill said. “We’re just veryproud we’re able to main-tain their legacy with theseefforts. … Both girls lovedbutterfl ies.”

By Betty BeanNeighbors have long

called the mid-19th-century Gothic Revival structure tucked into a picturesque hollow amid pastures and forests at the corner of Washington Pike and Mur-phy Road the house of seven gables and have wondered what stories those walls would tell if they could talk.

Maybe they’d tell about the time Kevin Murphy’s three-times great-uncle and his two-times great-grand-father visited Union sol-diers who were bivouacking nearby and carried home

hats fi lled with sugar the soldiers had given them. Or maybe they’d talk about the days in the 1880s when the Powell Valley Railroad shat-tered the quiet as they came laying tracks through the pastures.

Kevin Murphy is the latest Murphy to own the 175-year-old house on prop-erty the family has owned since 1797. He not only reno-vated the house with an eye to protecting its structural and aesthetic integrity, but he also has worked diligent-ly for the past four years to document its stories in the

process of having his family home added to the National Register of Historic Places. He built on the research Ann Bennett of the Metro-politan Planning Commis-sion did 25 years ago when she set out to identify po-tential historic sites in Knox County.

Last week his hard work and considerable invest-ment were rewarded when he was notifi ed that not only had the house at 4108 Mur-phy Road been added to the register, but also that most of the property that com-prises the 170-acre Murphy

Springs Farm has been des-ignated a historic district, probably the largest such district in Knox County.

“I’m pretty much over the moon,” he said. “The best part was telling my grand-father.”

Murphy, 37, is a graduate of Rice University and an information technology ar-chitect at Scripps Networks Interactive. Although he was born and grew up in Florida, he spent childhood summer vacations at Murphy Springs and says that while he con-sidered making his home in other parts of the country, he

always felt a connection to the land and the homeplace in Tennessee.

“It’s a strange thing. The house and farm are the things that have always stayed the same, and hav-ing something that never changed was important to me. The best moment of this process was when I called my grandfather to tell him about the historic designa-tion. He was so happy to see it – over the years there were times when he’d say, ‘Maybe we should just bulldoze it down,’ because it was a mon-ey pit.”

In recent years, Murphy has been a hospitable host, opening Murphy Springs to gatherings large and small, and he hopes to do more of that in the near future. He hopes to start thinking about conservation ease-ments and historic overlays to protect the land, after he takes a little time to con-sider what he’s learned from his efforts so far.

“It has been so enjoyable to research my family’s his-tory, and now I have a bet-ter understanding of all the things that came together to make me who I am.”
