LifeHow ‘Coryton’
became CorrytonBy Jake Mabe
You know you’re in God’s country when a tractor is slow-ing traffic on the main highway.
Around these parts, that means you’re in Corryton. The “interns” – a group of middle- and high-school students spend-ing the summer at the Shopper-News on Tuesdays – were met at Rutherford Memorial United Methodist Church by Corryton native Joe Longmire.
You might know Joe from Midway IGA. He’s a great guy and knows more about his com-munity than just about anybody.
Joe told us that the commu-nity was named after Coryton (one R) Woodbury, who thought Corryton would become a boom town once the East Tennessee and Virginia Railroad was con-nected to the Morristown to Lu-ttrell line. Woodbury bought a bunch of acreage for $220,000 and formed the Corryton Town Company in 1889. Woodbury laid out the area into city blocks, alternating intersecting street names for trees or presidents (i.e. Maple and Washington).
It all sounded great until the U.S. economy tanked in 1894. The railroads went bust. They were lat-er absorbed by Southern Railway.
Joe says the original Corry-ton depot was built in 1889. It burned in 1907 and was rebuilt. The later depot was torn down in the 1930s. In 1991, Corryton residents helped build a branch of the public library at the spot of the old depot.
You might have heard the sto-ry about the infamous Corryton train wreck. It happened on Aug. 21, 1889, killing Col. Isham Young, chair of the board of the city’s pub-lic works, and several six other prominent Knoxville residents.
You may not know that Corry-ton was briefl y called Floyd, after the maiden name of Capt. Char-lie Smith’s wife, Maryetta Floyd Smith. Two of the three homes

depot once stood. It is now a branch of the Knox
County Public Library. Photo by Ethan Sanders
Read about the interns’ trip to the Copeland farm in Jake Mabe’s column inside.
The missing R
Capt. Smith built in Corryton still stand.
Joe told us that the Methodist Church split over slavery during the Civil War. Corryton’s North-ern Methodist Church and South-ern Methodist Church were locat-ed near one another. Joe says they offi cially joined back together in 1939, “although they’d been meet-ing together long before that.”
The Northern Methodist Church was located in Joe’s moth-er’s backyard.
“They took about 10 steps and were in church.”
After Joe chatted with us awhile at the church, we all hopped on a bus driven by Randy Smith. Joe had him take us to the site of Sawyer’s Fort and to get a look at the house that still stands there. Sawyer, a Revolutionary War soldier and member of the fa-mous Overmountain Men, built a
homestead and fort there in 1785 as protection against Indians.
The U.S. Army camped at Saw-yer’s Fort in December 1863 during the Civil War just after the Battle of Knoxville. You can fi nd a dispatch with the dateline “Sawyer’s Fort” in the war’s offi cial correspondence.
Our fi nal stop was at the original Little Flat Creek Baptist Church. It was built in 1797 and is believed to be the oldest Baptist church in Knox County. Joe says it used to sit where Emory Road crosses the railroad, but was later turned into a barn. It was moved to its current location behind the new Little Flat Creek Baptist Church during its bi-centennial in 1997. Joe says that Bu-ford Blanton, an expert in the fi eld, says the old church is the largest log building he’s ever seen in East Ten-nessee. A couple of services are still held in the log church each year.
Joe is building a model railroad
of what Corryton would have looked like back in the day. He’s also got what’s left of the old Corryton post offi ce at his and his wife Becky’s home. (By the way, my great-grand-father, Larkin Mabe, was a postal carrier in the area near the turn of the last century.)
“There’s not much population up here, to this day,” Joe says. “But the post offi ce is still here. And all of this was started by the railroads.”
Well, his dreams of glory may not have worked out, but I think Coryton Woodbury would be mighty proud of the community that bears his name.
Where’s Larry?In the 7th District, Com-
missioner R. Larry Smith voted against the school board’s budget, saying he did not favor a tax increase. He was one of four votes against the $7 million in-crease which did not require a tax increase.
The school board’s budget included these 7th District expenditures in FY 13:
Adrian Burnett Elemen-tary, $7 million
Shannondale Elementary, $4 million
Powell High School, $2.250 million
Additionally, Powell El-ementary School was slated for $1.250 million in FY 14.
Spending all or part of a surplus for one-time con-struction is prudent fiscal management and an invest-ment in the health and safety of students and school staff.
Will commission fund school needs?
By Sandra ClarkWhen the county’s fi scal year
ended on June 30, both property tax and sales tax rev-enues exceeded projections, re-sulting in a $17.3 million surplus.
This surplus is available for one-time school needs
and could fund technology up-grades in all schools.
Commission chair Mike Ham-mond said Friday that he has asked interim Finance Director Chris Caldwell to attend the chair’s lun-cheon at 11:30 a.m. Monday, July 23, to discuss the commission’s options.
“When I saw those numbers come in I thought, ‘Wow! This
County posts $17.3 million surplus
Hammond
Knox County – fi scal year ending June 30, 2012
Budget Actual Diff erence
Property Tax 248,769,308 261,463,386 12,694,078
Sales Tax 136,514,750 141,164,674 4,649,924
Total 385,284,058 402,628,060 17,344,002
gives us an opportunity to do some-thing,’ ” Hammond said.
The commission funded $7 mil-lion of a requested $35 million in-crease sought by Superintendent Dr. Jim McIntyre and the school board.
Why the surplus?Ask fi ve people and you’ll get fi ve
answers as to why the county has produced a surplus.
Some would say Mayor Tim “no shenanigans” Burchett projected low in preparing last year’s budget during uncertain economic times. Others would say he just got lucky.
Some would say Trustee John Duncan and his staff worked hard to increase collections. That is demonstrated by the increase in fees collected from $1.3 million to $1.9 million.
Some would say the economy is coming back. Consumers are spending more and paying prop-erty taxes on time.
Whatever the reason, the surplus gives County Commission the op-portunity to step up and do the right thing for Knox County’s 56,000 public school students. We’ll see how this plays out.

By Alvin NanceAt our June board meeting, we said goodbye to a
very special person at KCDC, resident commissioner Norman Watkins. Norman served on the KCDC board of commissioners for four years, and I am grateful for his dedicated public service and excellent counsel.
At the meeting, Norman was recog-nized for his hard work and service with a resolution from Knoxville Mayor Mad-eli ne Rogero declaring June 28 Norman Watkins Day in Knoxville. Norman’s name will also be engraved on a plaque
that will be displayed permanently in the KCDC offi ce. Though Norman will no longer serve as our resident commissioner, he will continue to have a special place at KCDC as one of our most active residents.
Norman currently resides in Five Points at the Residences at Eastport, our newest affordable-housing community exclusively for seniors. He is an integral member of the KCDC community, helping out where he can. For years, Norman has provided a great service to his fellow residents who are unable to drive or don’t have a vehicle by transporting them to meetings, doc-tors’ offi ces, church services and other appointments. These KCDC residents would not be able to get to these important appointments without his help.
Originally from Pennsylvania, Norman moved to KCDC’s Cagle Terrace in 1999. He lived at Cagle Ter-race for many years and served on its tenant council for two years.
In his spare time, Norman loves to spend time with his children and grandchildren, watch sports and fi sh. He is also a talented artist, specializing in paint and ceramics.
I am grateful for Norman’s service to KCDC and am honored to call him friend. He will be missed at our monthly board meetings, but I am certain I’ll continue to see him lending a helping hand to his fellow residents in the KCDC community. Alvin Nance is executive director of KCDC.

His hobbies also include fl ying remote-control air-planes and helicopters. He had a sweet lookin’ one underneath a table in his home.
“If you know what you’re doing, you can fl y that in your house,” Bill says. “I’ve never tried it.”
We stood and talked awhile outside. Bill is the type of guy you feel you’ve known forever.
As I was leaving, Bill pointed to his buggy.

■ McConkey tears up summer base-ball leagueIn all the years I’ve been
doing this job (it’s in double digits now, y’all), I have to say that two of the best kids I have ever covered are Emilee and Paul McCo-nkey.
E m i l e e sent an email to the Shop-per last week to tell us that her brother, Paul, who is playing baseball at the Uni-versity of Kentucky, is tear-ing it up in the New Eng-land Collegiate Baseball League.
Paul is playing for the Holyoke Blue Sox, a colle-giate summer baseball team based in Holyoke, Mass.
The NCBL’s website ran a great Q&A story about Paul last week. Look it up here: ht t p://necbl .com/v iew/necbl/news/news_51520.
Congratulations, Paul. You and Emilee do your parents and this community proud.
■ Godspeed to Dr. James BentonIt was with a heavy heart
that I learned of the passing of longtime Halls/Fountain
City pedia-trician Dr. James C. Benton III, who passed away July 1 after a brief illness. He was 78.
Dr. Ben-ton and Dr.
Joe Black formed a prac-tice together in 1965. Both were terrifi c. Dr. Black was
a doctor straight out of cen-tral casting. Dr. Benton was gentle and laid-back, kind of like a North Knox version of “Marcus Welby M.D.” We lived in the same neighbor-hood for a while. Dr. Benton never failed to smile and wave as he drove by.
Dr. Benton was a Cen-tral High graduate and a member of The Church of the Good Shepherd. He is survived by his wife, Jan, daughter, Jana, and a host of family and friends.
Godspeed, Dr. Benton. You will be missed. Visit Jake Mabe online at jakemabe.

But, Bill takes it the back way to Pigeon Forge to car auctions. His usual compan-ion is his dog, Browning.
While we were cruising Broadway, Bill told me his story. He’s lived in the Ar-lington community all of his life. He joined the National Guard as an underage child and has never forgotten the train trip to Fort Jackson, S.C.
When the Korean War broke out, Bill fi gured it was time to own up about his age. He got transferred to the Air National Guard and became a member of the 199th A, C and W Squadron at Otis Air Force Base in Massachu-setts. He still remembers go-ing to hear the Big Bands.
I went inside, the whole store came out to see it.”
Bill bought the buggy about 10 years ago from Mc-Coy Motor Company. It had sat in a garage for 40 years.
It’s got a Volkswagen-type motor in it, but Bill says his gets 110 horsepow-er. The normal VW motor gets about half that.
“This ain’t something you want to drive every day.”

Bill Clark wasn’t kiddin’ when he says his dune bug-gy causes a commotion.
He had it all decked out for Independence Day, fl ags fl ying, a super star-span-gled salute to the good ol’ U.S. of A.

As you read this on July 16, I am in surgery having a bum right hip replaced af-ter a 10-day visit to Asia. I expect to be home by week’s end, then a few weeks of re-covery getting my new hip in working order so I can resume a normal pace.
Hip replacements gener-ally work well.
Last week, I completed my visit to Timor-Leste as one of 13 election observers for the International Repub-lican Institute on their par-liamentary elections.
Timor-Leste is a former Portuguese colony on the eastern half of the island of Timor. The other half is Indonesia, which occupied Timor-Leste for 25 years before giving the province its independence in 2002.
Timor-Leste is Roman Catholic while Indonesia is overwhelmingly Muslim. Timor-Leste has a popula-tion of 1.2 million with some petroleum reserves and lots of good coffee. The popula-tion is young. The capital, Dili, is near the equator.
Our election observers included delegates from India, Egypt, Uganda and Spain and separate groups from the European Union and the United Nations.

Why Timor-Leste matters
By Anne HartThis time last year – actu-
ally for the last three years – West Knox Republicans have sweated and suffered might-ily through their annual July picnic and cake auction be-cause of the lack of air condi-tioning at Deane Hill Recre-ation Center.
Is that even legal? I mean to expose a bunch of us who aren’t spring chickens any longer to such sizzling hot conditions?
“So why did they do it?” you’re probably asking. Likely the answer would be a huffy “because that’s the way we’ve always done it.” True. And they used to burn – ’er cook – the hamburgers and hot dogs outside on those little bitty grills, too.
Part of that equation changed a few years ago when someone got the bright idea of having it all catered. But then there was still that heat thing. Whew!
This year everything changed.
Thank you to club mem-bers Mary Ann Thomp-son and Nick McBride who pitched the idea of moving the whole shebang to Roth-child to club president Gary Loe, who then asked club members what they thought of the idea.
It’s unlikely that so many “yeas” have been hollered out with such enthusiasm in the
Republicans move from the ridiculous to the sublime
lengthy history of the club as when that question was posed. Everybody wanted out of the heat.
So last week was the pic-nic. Rothchild was the cool and comfortable venue, and it seemed Judge Dale Work-man had been polishing the running commentary he uses while auctioning off cakes and other pastries donated
by elected offi cials – the highlight of the event.
The good judge teased, he cajoled, he begged, he ridi-culed, he twisted arms – all for the cause of perpetuating the Republican Party in Knox County.
The room was pretty well packed by the time the auc-tion began. Those who were serious about the hot dogs
Judge Dale Workman asked for a little help “moving the mer-
chandise” from the display tables to the auctioneer’s podium,
and he got it. Coming to his aid were: Patrick Boles; Zach But-
try, son of school board member Cindy Buttry; and Anne McCall
Stansberry, whose dad is Judge Tony Stansberry. Photo by A. Hart
and hamburgers and all the fi xins’ fi lled the tables. Most of those running for offi ce worked the side of the room near the entrance and the food tables. These guys are no dummies. They know where to go after votes.
Most of the elected offi -cials and candidates were on hand or sent representatives.
Criminal and Circuit Court Clerk Joy McCroskey is still recovering from serious back surgery but still sent a couple of chocolate chess pies that were snapped up in a hurry.
Trustee John Duncan III was at a funeral a few coun-ties away but was well rep-resented by his chief of staff Josh Burnett and delinquent tax attorney Chad Tindell, who purchased several items to take back to the offi ce.
Tindell purchased the eve-ning’s highest-priced pastry, a very impressive looking peanut butter chocolate cake donated by Knox County Property Assessor Phil Bal-lard and auctioned for $70.
Morton Massey pur-chased the home-baked goodies donated by his wife, state Sen. Becky Massey. He said with a big grin that he had “been smelling it all night anyway.”
Ruthie Kuhlman and Chris Christenberry, seated at adjacent tables, ran the price up on several items as they bid against each other, particularly for some lemon coconut bars donated by Judge Tony Stansberry. Kuhlman fi nally gave in, muttering good-naturedly that she was “out of money.”
Arnold Smith updateWe had at least two calls on Betty Bean’s story about
Arnold Smith, the physician who grew up in Knoxville and is now in jail, accused of murder for hire.

Pam Trainor, who rep-resents South Knox on the school board, last week scored a couple of zingers.
On the fun side, she in-vented a verb when describ-ing Chief of Staff Russ Oaks’ efforts to make the board’s policy on volunteers more inviting. “I appreciate Russ’ work to warm and fuzzy it up,” she said.
Trainor later struck at the heart of County Com-
m i s s i o n ’ s a t t e m p t to restrict the “main-t e n a n c e of effort” component of the extra $7 million it cobbled to-gether with-
out a tax increase to support board initiatives.
Superintendent Dr. Jim McIntyre plans to hire as many as 65 new teachers to replace veterans he will move into jobs as instruc-tional coaches to provide support for classroom teach-ers and also help with the reading initiative in grades 1-3. Maintenance of effort means the commission can’t cut the funding; without it, there’s no guarantee of sec-ond- or subsequent-year funding for these positions.
Both Commissioners Richard Briggs and Sam McKenzie asked if the new money was maintenance of effort before voting yes when the budget was adopt-ed June 4. Two weeks later, Commissioner Brad Anders amended the minutes of that meeting to strike any reference to maintenance of effort.
Trainor speaks
David Sanders of the Law Director’s Offi ce said that’s OK: “The Law Department cannot substitute its own judgment for that of the leg-islative body.”
Board members respond-ed characteristically.
Cindy Buttry was com-bative, saying this just proves again why the school board needs its own lawyer.
Indya Kincannon was hopeful, saying the econo-my might improve so that the funding would be se-cure.
Mike McMillan was cau-tious, saying McIntyre should tell the new hires that theirs is a one-year job.
Karen Carson was calm-ing, saying the school board will just do what it always does – educate kids. If the commission fails to fund the money next year, the board can shuffl e its priorities to continue the initiatives, as-suming they’re getting good results, Carson said.
Pam Trainor drew on her experience in PTA to say it best: “The minutes are the written record of a meeting. How do you amend some-thing that’s already hap-pened? You can correct it, but you cannot add to it or take away. I have a problem as a citizen with what the commission did. And that’s all I have to say.”
Election Day was Satur-day, July 7, and I watched a polling place in the capi-tal city with more than 50 people already in line in the dark for the offi cial opening at 7 a.m. Then I traveled into the interior of the island on a one-lane road, barely paved. It took an hour and a half to go 17 miles.
It was amazing to see a huge voter turnout exceed-ing 74 percent of the country.
We were allowed full ac-cess to all polling places. Voting was by paper ballot with voters placing a fi nger in red ink afterwards to pre-vent return voting. The ink was impossible to wash off in less than two days.
We visited six polling places which were located in schools and open air recre-ation areas. The atmosphere was calm but festive. A vol-leyball game was going full speed at one polling place.
Polls closed at 3 p.m. and
most had voted by noon. Unlike Knoxville where many vote in the last 30 minutes, virtually no one voted at the end of the allot-ted time period.
We then observed the actual vote counting after one polling place closed as this is where mischief can occur. While it took more than two hours to count 750 paper ballots, it was an or-derly process where each ballot was opened in front of the assembled audience and tallies were maintained for all to see. The ballot was a list of 21 political parties and each voter voted for one of the parties and not candi-dates.
It was reassuring to see voters in an impoverished nation facing major eco-nomic issues freely partici-pating so calmly and deter-minedly in choosing their Parliament of 65 members.
It has been American for-eign policy for both Demo-cratic and Republican ad-ministrations to promote democracy. The Timor-Leste leadership is fully committed to seeing this process prevail. Our IRI delegation met for an hour with the President of Timor-Leste, Taur Matan Ruak.. He is a former resis-
Pam Trainor
tance fi ghter against the In-donesian occupation. I also had an hour meeting with Ambassador Judith Fergin at her residence.
A fair question would be what does it matter what happens in this country which you have never heard of? It does matter because it shows the strength of democracy once it takes hold in nations through the world. At a time when China is asserting its money and infl uence, it is especially relevant that Asian nations promote democracy and it is happening now in Mongolia (China’s immediate neigh-bor) as well as Burma (also a Chinese neighbor) and now Timor-Leste.
China is spending literal-ly trillions of dollars build-ing new government build-ings in Laos, Timor-Leste, Cambodia, as well as many African nations. The U.S. has vital interests in Asia in terms of promoting our val-ues which will be a response to China.

This one is personal. Sorry about that.
I’ve known good guy Ben Byrd, former Journal sportswriter and editor, for 60 years. I’ve known Jo Ann Byrd and son Rick for 51 years, since he was 8, playing biddy basketball at old Knox High. I was the referee.
Nobody in the Byrd fam-ily ever yelled at me.
In August, son will join father in the Greater Knoxville Sports Hall of Fame. The Wests hope to be there, to stand and ap-plaud.
Ben was honored long ago for writing informa-tive, entertaining stories. Rick will be inducted as one of the best basketball coaches in America.

Lincoln Memorial to Bel-mont in rapid progression – and stayed. As many games as his teams have won, the story of a loss is the one framed and hang-ing in his office: Duke 71, Belmont 70 in the 2008 NCAA tournament. That one turned Mike Krzyze-wski’s hair grey.
Byrd, 59, has some grey, too. It fits. He is not f lamboyant. He is poised and polite, more like John Wooden than Dick Vitale.
Rick is comfortable in the big leagues. He golfs and does lunch with Vanderbilt coach Kevin Stallings. Country music superstar Vince Gill is a close friend. Byrd votes in the ESPN/USA Today Top
Oh, that’s a little much, you say.
No, he’s that good – 10 conference champion-ships, national coach of the year among mid-ma-jors, 637 career victories, 545 at the same place, Bel-mont College in Nashville. He put the Bruins in the NCAA tournament five of the past seven years.

The Metropolitan Plan-ning Commission staff held fi ve open house-style meet-ings in developing a new sector plan for North Knox County. The meetings were sparsely attended, but were designed to give citizens a chance to be part of the pro-cess of long-range planning.
The plan has also been highlighted on the MPC website, where no negative comments were recorded. So it was adopted unani-mously by MPC commis-sioners last week and will be forwarded to County Com-mission for consideration.
The new plan replaces the 1998 version, but makes few changes. Areas identifi ed
MPC approves North Sector Plan
for Low Density Residential coincide with the county’s Planned Growth Area. The Agriculture/Rural area is kept to Bull Run and Rac-coon valleys, which coincide with the Rural Area of the Growth Policy Plan.
The plan contains six special land use districts, several of which are mixed use districts where com-mercial, offi ce and residen-tial uses would be appropri-ate with further develop-
ment or redevelopment:Clinton Highway/
Powell Drive Mixed Use District: The completion of Powell Drive (the name of the new Emory Road) will place this section of Clinton Highway in an ad-vantageous position for revitalization. Offi ce, light manufacturing, commercial and residential uses could be considered.
Historic Powell Center: The completion of Powell Drive will reduce thru-traffic on Emory. But because it is pedestrian-oriented, this area can build on its assets – three schools, historic buildings and neighborhood-
oriented commercial uses.Callahan Road Mixed
Use District: The 2001 Corridor Plan, which in-cluded offi ce, retail, ware-housing and light industrial uses, will be left as is.
Emory Road/I-75 Mixed Use District:Commercial, offi ce, med-ical-related development, and medium density (apart-ments or senior housing) residential are planned for the northeast side, with more intense uses going to the relatively-undeveloped west side of the interchange. Offi ces (medical and profes-sional), retail, hotels and medium density residential would be appropriate for this area.
I-75/Raccoon Valley Industrial and Com-mercial Center: Some
400 acres here could be more intensively developed, especially for warehousing/distribution uses and light industrial. The creation of a master plan for the area should also be considered, including expansion of util-ities, layout of new roads and access points for more intense uses, design and development standards and an economic development program.
Halls Mixed Use District: Focuses on and around the Black Oak Plaza shopping center and the former Walmart shopping center, where several hun-dred square feet of land and vacant retail space exist. Rather that concentrating solely on commercial uses, this proposed land use des-ignation would allow a mix
of retail, residential and of-fi ce uses, including vertical mixed use.
In other proposals, the Parks, Greenways and Recreation Facilities Plan was modifi ed slightly. A Heiskell Community Park is depicted. The “Orange Route” greenway was re-moved, and two additional greenway proposals were added in Halls.
A green infrastructure plan shows the greenway connections, hillside pro-tection areas, fl oodplains and areas with prime agri-cultural soils. No changes were made to the Long Range Transportation Plan.
Mike Reynolds was the primary planner for the sector plan. Info: [email protected].
25 poll. He is a member of the NCAA Basketball Rules Committee.
Considering his accom-plishments and a thousand pats on the back, Rick Byrd remains refreshingly unaf-fected. He has never for-gotten roots and the bless-ing of who he is.
“Most of what I have done occurred outside of Knoxville, but 90 percent of what I learned about athletics came from grow-ing up there. Many of those experiences formed the foundation of my life, per-sonally and professionally.”
Rick realizes that being the son of a sportswriter provided far greater access to sports events than most boys enjoy.
“Starting as an 8-year-old, I would sell programs (for 25 cents) at Stokely Center until tipoff and
then run to the press table and sit at my father’s feet and watch Danny Shultz, A.W Davis, Ron Widby, Bill Justus, Jimmy England plus all the great players that came in.
“I not only got to watch a great coach (Ray Mears) from about 15 feet, I watched Adolph Rupp and other great coaches on the other end.”
Rick says it helped that his father kept sports in perspective.
“He thought, and still thinks, that a game is a game, not life or death. I continue to carry that phi-losophy even though my livelihood and my family’s well-being have depended on the scores.”
Rick played little-boy bas-kets for Rock City. He played Little League baseball at Mary Vestal Park. He played
golf at Bays Mountain. He played high school baskets at Doyle. He saw every sports event that he could work into his schedule.
He became a walk-on junior varsity basketball player at Tennessee.
“I practiced daily against the likes of Ernie Grunfeld, Bernard King, Mike Jackson and Rodney Woods.”
He became a graduate assistant coach for Mears. He scouted opponents. No less an authority than Stu Aberdeen said “young Byrd is smart.”
Sure is, and doggedly de-termined and fi ercely com-petitive and very successful.
Nice guy, too. He said he’s seen a lot of referees in his time and I wasn’t all that bad. Marvin West invites reader reaction.

PULL UP A CHAIR … | Jake MabePULL UP
At the end of a long gravel driveway, past a barn
and a few tractors and an old gas pump advertising its contents for 48 cents a gal-lon, Calvin and Carolyn Co-peland were waiting.
They work a calf-cow op-eration on three farms in East Knox County, one of which almost touches the Knox/Union county line.
Photographer Ruth White and I took the kids we call “interns” – actually middle- and high school-aged stu-dents who might want to go into journalism one day, God help them – out to the Cope-land’s house last week. It was like stepping back in time, in the best sense of what that means.
We saw land, lots of it, the precious commod-ity disappearing faster than common sense.
Carolyn gave the kids Coca-Colas from an actual Coke machine, the clas-sic kind with the door that swings out. She took the girls to a picnic table overlooking an inviting three-acre pond that makes you wish you had a line and a pole and bait and some time to kill. A Canada goose who decided it didn’t want to keep migrating north lives there, too.
Calvin stayed with the guys up on the porch. He told tales.
He says he calls Carolyn “Bologna,” because, “before she met me, that’s all she
Down on the farm

used to eat.” Asked about it later, up near the grapevine, Carolyn just shrugged.
“Might as well let him (call me that), after 40-something years.”
Calvin was born off Pedi-go Road, near the stretch of Emory Road between Halls and Powell, on a produce farm. His father was a share-cropper. Calvin remembers when the preacher used to alternate Sundays behind the pulpits at Sharon Baptist and nearby Glenwood Baptist.
“I thought that I couldn’t be happy but in that com-munity,” Calvin says. “Now, I couldn’t go back. There’s not enough property.”
In addition to the land in East Knox County, the Co-
pelands also own 800 acres near Kearney, Neb.
Calvin served on a man-o-war destroyer in the Navy during World War II. Before that, the farthest place he’d been from home was to Har-din Valley. He was a store-keeper onboard the destroyer.
“My job was to fi nd out how long a trip the job was going to be. A ship is like a fl oating village. It should have every-thing on it you need to sur-vive.” The destroyer escorted troops and supplies that were headed to Germany, England and France.
The Copelands have lived in Corryton for more than 40 years. Calvin says he waited until he was middle-aged before he married.
“I was a-feared to get mar-ried. I was a-feared she might take me to the cleaners!”
They still farm the land themselves.
“In the early days, you were lucky to (farm) six or 10 acres a day. Now, my wife and I do about 35 acres – rake, bale and haul hay out of the fi eld – in one evening. But we enjoy it. That’s the main thing. We do everything together.”
Carolyn brought out wa-termelon for the kids and showed them arrowheads and musket balls found on the farm. They’ve even taken them to UT for identifi cation.
As is the case with all of our nation’s history, the Native Americans were here fi rst.
Before we left the house, Calvin wanted us to see his Model A and Model T Fords in the garage. The Model T was built in 1924. The Model A was built in 1929.
Calvin says he courted Carolyn in a car like the Model T. It has manual windshield wipers. Cal-vin says whenever it would rain, he would pretend he couldn’t work the wipers and steer at the same time.
“Otherwise, she’d sit on the other side of the car near
the door.” Calvin says if somebody
offered to give him land out in West Knoxville or somewhere worth three times more than his, he’d turn ’em down, if it meant having to move.
“We don’t know any place we’d rather be.”
It had been raining heavily that morning. But when we got to Calvin and Carolyn’s house, the sun came out.
Call me corny, but I think the Copelands had some-thing to do with it. Don’t even try to tell me otherwise. Visit Jake Mabe online at jakemabe.

Question: “Do all wisdom teeth have to be removed at some time, and does everyone have wisdom teeth?”
Answer: There are many problems that can develop in regard to an individual's "wisdom teeth" or third molar teeth. Most often problems result due to a lack of space for the "wisdom teeth to erupt through the gums. If adequate space is present for the teeth to move into proper position, there is usually no need for removal.
All four of the "wisdom teeth" do not develop in some people, and one, two, three, or none may be present. If you are concerned about your "wisdom teeth", we can determine by x-rays and clinical examination if any treatment is necessary.
Questions for “Dental Answers” are welcomed and should be sent to our address at 7409 Temple Acres Drive, Knoxville, TN, 37938.

HISTORY AND MYSTERIES | Dr. Jim Tumblin
Although he may not be as well known as Col. Da-vid Chapman or Carlos C. Campbell, Gen. Frank D. Maloney may have had as long a relationship with the movement that finally resulted in the establish-ment of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park as anyone else.
Judge George L. and So-nora Dodson Maloney had four sons: William M., George E., Frank D. and James D. Maloney. Frank was born in Knoxville on Jan. 3, 1879. His father was judge of the Knox County Court from 1888-1902 and worked for the es-tablishment of a home for the indigent. Eventually, when it was established, the home was named for him and the George Maloney Home at Ma-loneyville served Knox Coun-ty’s indigent for many years.
After he attended the pub-lic schools in West Knoxville, Frank graduated from UT with an engineering degree in 1898. His lifelong friend, David Chapman, was a team-mate on the football team with Maloney at fullback and Chapman as quarterback. Years later, they would work together effectively in the ef-forts to set aside land for the national park.
When the battleship Maine mysteriously ex-ploded and sank in Havana harbor on Feb. 15, 1898, during Maloney’s senior year at UT, the Spanish-American War was ignited. When the war began, there were only 28,000 men in the regular U.S. Army. The Army requested 50,000 new men and received more
than 220,000 volunteers, including members of the state National Guard units. Maloney was one of those volunteers. He assisted in organizing a company that became part of the 6th U.S. Volunteer Infantry.
During the Philippine Insurrection (1899–1902), Maloney re-enlisted and was assigned a captaincy in the 39th U.S. Volunteer Infantry. He served under Gen. Ar-thur MacArthur, Gen. Doug-las MacArthur’s father. He survived that brutal jungle war and won a promotion to colonel. His uncanny exper-tise in assessing topography and preparing detailed maps enabled him to choose the site for Fort Benning, Ga., which remains an important military post today.
Although Maloney had not been an applicant, Gov. Ben Hooper chose him to be-come adjutant general of the Tennessee National Guard in 1911. During Gen. Maloney’s four years as AG, he reorga-nized the guard and gave it a sound structure.
Periodically, he engaged in general contracting and railroad engineering with the John A. Kreis Construc-tion Co. Later, he worked with the Benson Winch Co., where his military experi-ence facilitated its rapid growth. During his long ca-reer, he would also serve as commissioner of highways for Knox County, become the fi rst chair of the Knox County Planning Commis-sion (organized in 1940) and serve on the Knoxville Housing Authority.
Maloney was hiking and
camping in the Smokies as early as 1896. When the Great Smoky Mountains Conservation Association was formed, he became one of the original mem-bers. The group fi rst met on Dec. 21, 1923, with a board of directors that included Forrest Andrews, Carlos C. Campbell, Col. David Chap-man, Willis P. Davis, Paul Fink, Russell W. Hanlon, Maloney and I.W. Rawlings.
Arno B. Cammerer, asso-ciate director of the Nation-al Park Service, was charged with establishing the park boundaries. Gen. Maloney had double qualifi cations to become his chief assis-tant in the project. He had lengthy experience as a civil engineer with a particular expertise in topography and mapmaking, and he had an intimate knowledge of the Smokies, where he had of-ten hiked and camped since he was 17 years old.
By 1926, Maloney had prepared a composite map of the park’s proposed 704,000 acres. This map, dubbed the “Cammerer Map” or the “Red Line Map,” was used through-out the lengthy negotiations with the state of North Caroli-na, the state of Tennessee and the U.S. Congress.
Gen. Maloney conducted many of the meetings with Col. W.B. Townsend, owner of the Little River Lum-ber Co., and eventually ar-ranged for the sale of their 76,507 acres for $273,557.97 or about $3.50 per acre. North Carolina had paid $9 to $12 per acre for similar land. When Tennessee Gov. Austin Peay received the

151 pages of deeds for the LRLC’s property on Mar. 22, 1927, and when Ten-nessee’s share of the cost ($183,371.73) was paid, the establishment of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park was almost assured.
However, the park was not chartered by the U.S. Congress until 1934. Presi-dent Franklin D. Roosevelt spoke at the formal dedica-tion of the park at Newfound Gap on Sept. 2, 1940. The park remains one of the larg-est protected areas in the eastern United States and the most-visited national park year after year.
But Gen. Maloney’s work was not fi nished. He en-visioned a 72-mile scenic Foothills Parkway along the Tennessee border of the park that would make travel from one section of the park to another much easier for resi-dents and park visitors alike. It would also provide a num-
ber of loops for added expo-sure of the scenery. Congress authorized the project in 1944 and the Tennessee Leg-islature authorized purchase of rights-of-way in 1945, but it was 1960 before construc-tion would begin.
Having just returned from yet another mission to Washington on behalf of the park, Gen. Frank D. Maloney passed away suddenly on March 7, 1952. A confi rmed bachelor, he was survived by his sister and three brothers. He is buried in the family plat at Highland Memorial Cemetery. His gravestone reads: “Frank Maloney, Army Offi cer, Engineer, Ad-jutant General (Tenn.) 1911-1915, Leader in the Estab-lishment of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.”
The Maloney Point over-look on Tennessee state Highway 73, just a few miles west of the Sugarlands Visi-tor Center, is a spectacular
spot from which to catch a sunrise with a scenic view of the valley toward Gatlin-burg. What a fi tting me-morial to one who gave so much of himself in the es-tablishment of the park!
Author’s Note: Next month’s article will de-scribe Gen. Maloney’s part-nership with Charles R. Gibbs and the development of Fountain City’s historic Gibbs-Maloney Addition.

HALLS/FOUNTAIN CITY SHOPPER-NEWS • JULY 16, 2012 • A-11 faithWhom have I in heaven but you?And there is nothing on earththat I desire other than you.My fl esh and my heart may fail,but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
(Psalm 73: 25-26 NRSV)
And did you get what you wanted from this life, even so?
I did. And what did you want?To call myself beloved, to feel myself beloved on
the earth.(from “Late Fragment,” Raymond Carver)
To call myself beloved
I remember the day that it dawned on me. It made me sad then, and it makes me sad every time I bring it to mind.
Here is the truth that hit me, really out of nowhere: there are a great many peo-ple who love me, it is true, and I am grateful for them beyond all imagining. But it occurs to me that there is no one who loves me best, no one who calls me “Beloved.”
That, my friends, is a sobering realization. And I know I am not alone in that circumstance.
I consider myself to be a loving person.
I love people, I love dogs, I love horses. I love straw-berries, and swings and li-lacs. I love picnics, and folk songs and puzzles. I love a new word, and the right word and the last word.
I love books, and poetry, and history and rainy days at home. I love smart minds and good hearts. I love old friends, new friends and true friends.
I love campfires, and hearth fires and candles – all candles, even birth-day candles that multiply at alarming rates. I love stars, planets, new moons and full moons. I love wa-terfalls, creeks and oceans. I love tears of joy, and a-ha moments and dreams that are yet to be.
I love people, too. People

CROSS CURRENTS
who teach me things, peo-ple who call me to account, people who help me see the world in a new light. Peo-ple who keep me honest, who keep me growing, who keep me close. People who help, who challenge, who steady me.
I love family, immediate and extended. I love those who have gone on before and live only in memory. I love family yet unborn: the hope, the dream of grand-children, the continuation of generations.
All this love is possible because the God of love created this wondrous uni-verse. God made hearts, as well as worlds, that gravi-tate toward one another. It behooves us to recall that it is the giving of love, more than the receiving, which is holy.
The psalmist’s plain-tive question, “Whom have I in heaven but you?” may sound, at fi rst, forlorn. If, however, I have God in heav-en, what more can I ask? If God is “my portion forever,” what more, indeed?

season. Painter is pictured with his parents, Angie and Chuck Painter, and (back) Halls High coach
Doug Polston and Walters State assistant coach Joey Seaver. Said Seaver, “We are very excited to
have Grant join our team. He has great, outstanding character and loads of potential.” Polston will
miss the qualities Painter brought to the Halls baseball team, including a great work ethic and be-
ing a team leader. “Grant is a hard worker and a great kid,” said Polston. “He tied the school record
for wins in a season at 11, was chosen for the PrepXtra team, named to the All-State and All-Region
teams and was selected as the District Pitcher of the Year.” As for Painter, he plans to study criminal
justice while in school and will work hard to improve as a pitcher. He hopes to play baseball for a
four-year college after Walters State. Photo by Ruth White

For many students, summertime rel-
egates academics to an afterthought. Attention turns from math and sci-ence to vacations, camps, parades, cookouts and outings with family and friends. However, for the administration and staff of Temple Baptist Acad-emy, school is always on their minds. Summer is a golden opportunity for planning and preparing for the upcoming school year. It is also a time to re-fl ect on the past year and look for ways to improve.
“From implementing strategic planning initia-tives to working on capi-tal improvement projects, and from processing student applications to scheduling athletics events, there is a atmo-sphere of anticipation as we look to advance as a school in the upcoming year,” says vice principal Tim Missey.
Teachers report back to campus on Wednes-day, Aug. 1, to fi nalize their lesson planning and classroom preparations.

The hallmark of a truly Christian edu-cation is that the knowl-edge of God and the Bible serve as the foundation for all of life and learning. This biblical worldview provides the framework in which subjects such as science, math, his-tory, language and music are studied. In a sense, a Christian education is simply the unending dis-covery and study of our Creator and his creation.

Students embrace communityMany would agree that
one of the things that makes Knox County such a great place to live is that it consists of close-knit communities that provide a small-town feel. A great community is one where each person accepts his or her responsibility to con-tribute to the overall well-being of the community.
It is this attitude of ser-vice that the students of Temple Baptist Academy are being taught to de-velop and make a part of their lives. It is something that grows out of an un-derstanding that they are personally accountable to God and, in turn, respon-sible for others.
Academy students are not only learning to look for ways to serve God in the lives of others, but they are regularly seiz-ing opportunities to ex-perience what it is like to make a difference in their community.
U.S. Rep John Duncan Jr. greets Temple students Camren Beard and Josh Woods at the
Veterans Appreciation Breakfast at UT Medical Center.
In the fall of 2011, Temple Baptist Academy began an ongoing initia-tive called “Embracing our Community with the Love of Christ.” From food drives to celebrating birthdays at assisted liv-ing homes, to honoring
veterans who have faith-fully served our nation, Temple students are dis-covering the joy of help-ing and encouraging oth-ers. Through these efforts students are learning how they can make a differ-ence in their community.
Now in 2012, the acad-emy plans to build on this initiative as the start of a new school year ap-proaches. Plans for addi-tional community service projects in the coming months are currently in the works.

Fort Sanders extinguishes stroke in former fi re chiefAs a former chief of the
Knoxville Fire Department, Gene Hamlin of Anderson-ville, 71, has seen plenty of emergencies. But recently, Hamlin, who is now retired after 40 years with KFD, had an emergency of his own.
On May 15, Hamlin woke up unable to speak, the right side of his body numb and unable to move.
“The day before, I did things as normal as ever. But I woke up with a stroke. It’s crazy. I considered my-self healthy, a good weight and all. I don’t know where it came from,” he says.
Hamlin’s wife, Jane, called 911.But since neither of them had been in a hos-pital lately – it had been 40 years since Jane Hamlin had a baby at Fort Sanders – they weren’t quite sure where to go.
“My wife got in the am-bulance with the driver, and
he asked her where to go,” Hamblin recalls. “She said, ‘I don’t know.’ And then it just came to her, Fort Sand-ers.
“He said, ‘Well that’s a good choice,’ ” says Hamb-lin. “It was just a blessing from God.”
It was also a blessing that Dr. Keith Woodward had just gotten back in town from vacation. Dr. Wood-ward is a neurointerven-tional radiologist at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center. He uses tiny de-vices – inserted through a patient’s artery and into the brain – to repair or remove blood clots and aneurysms, all without surgery.
“He said he could remove the clot, and my wife and son signed papers for him to do it,” remembers Hamlin. “He removed it, and I immedi-ately got feeling back in my arms and legs. He saved my
life. Afterward, he showed me the clot on the computer
screen, and the thing he used to get it out. I’m just so lucky.”
Hamlin stayed at Fort Sanders for six days and went to Pa-tricia Neal Rehabili-tation Center another fi ve days for stroke re-habilitation therapy.
At six weeks past his stroke, he is expected to recover fully. “I think in time I’ll be back to normal,” Hamlin says.
Woodward told Hamlin they may never know what caused the blood clot in his brain.
“I’ve got slightly high blood pressure, but it’s not high enough to cause that. I had been kicked by a horse and had a big bruise on my leg, but Dr. Woodward said that wasn’t it. He couldn’t pinpoint it.”
Whatever the cause,Hamlin says he survivedthe stroke thanks to thestrong support of his fam-ily and friends at Anderson-ville First Baptist Church.“They had a special meetingto pray for me, 100 peopleprayed for an hour for me.People kept praying for meeverywhere, and I reallythink it was a God thing.”
Hamlin recommendsFort Sanders Regional toanyone needing care from astroke.
“It was excellent. Theycouldn’t do enough, andwaited on me hand andfoot,” he smiles. “I wasn’t agood patient I don’t think,but they were excellent. Ican’t say enough of them.”

NEWS FROM GENTRY-GRIFFEY FUNERAL CHAPEL & CREMATION SERVICES
Funeral pre-planning offers peace of mind
No one likes to think about death, let alone plan for it. However, by pre-planning your fi nal arrangements, you relieve your family of having to make important fi nancial decisions during a period of great stress and grief -- a time when people aren’t thinking very clearly and may not know what to do because you never made your wishes known.
Pre-planning your funeral can be very informal, even as simple as jotting down your preferences and sharing your wish-es with a family member. More formal arrangements in the form of a pre-need contract can be set up with a funeral home and can be pre-funded through life insurance, bank trust agreement, or another method.
Consider the advantages of Pre-Planning:
• Make important decisions together, not alone
• If something were to happen to you today, your family would know what to do
• You have peace of mind knowing you have minimized the anxiety for loved ones
• Your fi nal wishes will be carried out
• You can choose a pre-payment plan that fi ts your budget
• Costs are locked in and you are protected
• Most pre-arranged plans are transferable, should you transfer or move to another area
By pre-planning your funeral, you can:
• Make all arrangements during a time of peace and not leave them to your family during their time of grief
• Make your wishes known• Control the cost of your funeral
and protect from infl ation• Ensure that personal records are
organized and easy for your survivors to locate
• Protect your insurance so that it provides for your survivors and not for funeral expenses
• Provide protection in case the need arises before it is expected
Gentry-Griffey’s leadership team: Eric
Botts, managing partner & licensed funer-
al director; Jerry Griffey, founding partner
& licensed funeral director; and Bryan
McAdams, assistant manager & licensed
funeral director.
Tom and Martha Wells review pre-planning options with Gentry-Griff ey’s managing
partner & licensed funeral director Eric Botts.
Why Pre-plan Funeral Services?In many families, discussing one’s mor-
tality is an extremely uncomfortable topic. But it is a topic that should be discussed and planned for well in advance of your death.
It’s easy to say, “Don’t make a fuss. I don’t want a ceremony. Just bury me and be done with it.” But it is important to realize that the ritual of a funeral and/or memorial service isn’t for the deceased but for the living. It is a time when friends and family can gather together to grieve openly and to provide support for one another.
Pre-planning, when done properly, can
give you peace of mind because you know that your arrangements are pre-determined.
Gentry-Griffey Funeral Chapel has been the premier North Knoxville Fu-neral Home since 1948. The grounds of the funeral home have always been a garden spot in the local communi-ty. The abundant dogwood trees are brilliant with color each year and there are tulips that pop up out of the ground in the springtime; other spring fl owers abound. Visitors enter the driveway and circle the property just to admire the beauty of the grounds.
The building is a Southern traditional style three-level building. The exterior is brick and frame, painted white with black trim and sits on 3 acres on a hill above the Fountain City Lake. The interior is beautiful in its Southern decor, complete with a winding staircase on the ground fl oor that leads to the second fl oor.
In 2012, Gentry-Griffey became the only funeral home in Knox County to op-erate an on-site crematory. By having a crematory on-site at Gentry-Griffey Fu-neral Chapel, they are not dependent on anyone else’s schedule or facilities, and their licensed funeral directors oversee every step of the cremation. Your loved one will never leave their care, and as the sole service provider, their services stay affordable for all budgets. Whether you are in need of traditional funeral options or cremation, Gentry-Griffey can accom-modate any need and any budget.

When you elect to begin re-ceiving Social Security payments is important. You may retire from a career at age 62, but beginning benefits at age 62 may not be the best choice. The age at which you begin will impact your benefits for the rest of your life.
There are several factors that should be considered before se-lecting the optimal date to begin benefits. Your health status, life expectancy, need for income, whether or not you plan to con-tinue working and how con-
cerned you are about running out of money in your lifetime should all be considerations in determining your date to begin benefits. Analysis requires care-ful considerations of inputs, as-sumptions and other facts that will impact your Social Security benefits, including the taxation of those benefits.
While having a strategy for when to begin Social Security benefi ts is important, it is criti-cal to consider Social Security benefi ts in conjunction with all of your retirement assets for an optional strategy. Incorporating your benefi ts into an overall re-tirement income plan may make a material difference in the amount of income available to you in re-tirement. Consideration of the options available to provide the most valuable benefi ts to a spouse should not be overlooked.
If you ask someone who has not filed for Social Security ben-efits to explain how Social Se-curity works, you may receive an answer that sounds like one of these: you can start receiving benefits at age 62 and receive a check every month for the rest of your life; when you retire, you go by the Social Security of-fice and fill out some forms and they start sending you a check every month to help you live on; I’m not sure, they send you a little check each month, but it is not enough to live on. Or you may hear something like: I don’t know, but it is not enough to worry about.
‘Best kept secret’Social Security may be one of
the best kept secrets of the fed-eral government. A lot of people have questions about Social Se-
curity, but they do not know where to find the answers.
Most people know that every paycheck they receive has a de-duction for something that is called FICA and it goes some-where and they will get some-thing someday when they retire. Most young people have other pressing problems or obliga-tions that they are more con-cerned about than their retire-ment, which may be many years away.
As these people progress through their life, finishing their education, finding their first real job, getting married, buy-ing their first house, raising a family, sending the kids off to school, having their first grand-child, caring for their parents, finding another job, maybe a new spouse, and then realizing retirement is just around the

start by looking at the two Social Security Trust Funds. The first trust fund is the Old-Age and Survivors Insurance (OASI) Trust Fund. The second trust fund is the Disability Insurance Trust Funds (DI). These funds are accounts managed by the Department of the Treasury. Benefits to retired workers and their families, and to families of deceased workers, are paid from the OASI Trust Fund. Benefits to disabled workers and their families are paid from the DI Trust Fund.
A case studyLet’s look at a case which is not un-
command in today’s family. I will call this couple Bill and Mary. Bill started his Social Security benefits four years ago at his age 63 without consulting anyone. His employer was downsizing and he took an early out, but there is still hope for Mary. Mary turns 66 next month. Last year I recommended that she wait until her age 66 and then restrict her applica-tion to her spousal benefit while letting her own benefit build delayed credits to her age 70.
Her response: “But I can get $2,000 a month if I apply for my own benefit. Why would I take a $1,000 spousal benefit in-stead?”
Clearly, Mary was focused on her loss
of income from work and wondering how she will pay the bills. I argued that this will allow her to jump up to $2,640 (not counting cost of living increases) at her age 70, and that even if she has to with-draw more funds from her IRA to meet expenses, this strategy will require her to take less money from her IRA later. Mary didn’t seem convinced.
I asked her to consider these illustra-tions:
I had run a breakeven analysis (a year when the amount received at either start-ing age is equal) of two scenarios: 1. start her retirement at her age 66, vs. 2. start her spousal benefit at age 66 and switch to her retirement benefit at age 70.
Because Bill’s Social Security is a done deal and his benefit will remain the same, I did not have to include his benefits. Un-der the first scenario, her monthly ben-efit would be $2,133. Under the second scenario, if she claimed a spousal ben-efit, the benefit would be $1,063 a month until she reached the age of 70, and switched to her own benefit of $2,815. This approach showed a breakeven age of 76. But, what I really wanted to stress was how much higher her income will be at some future age.
Because she comes from a family of long lives, I showed her that if she is
still collecting Social Security benefits at her age 85, her monthly benefit will be $4,758 instead of $3,605. I also noted she will not be switching to Bill’s benefit if he dies first because his benefits are lower than hers. It is essential for her to manage her own benefit.
Before I could proceed further, she said, “I’m going to try it.” She’s still somewhat worried about meeting ex-penses, but overall feels pretty good about the situation. There’s no risk to Mary for “trying it.” Even if she does have to switch to her own benefit before age 70, every month she goes without collect-ing her own benefit adds a few more dol-lars to her future income.
Claim-now or claim-more-later seems like a no-brainer to most of us. This is where a high-earning spouse who is plan-ning to delay his or her benefit to age 70 claims his or her spousal benefit at age 66. If his or her spouse is also a high earner, he or she might receive $1,000 or $1,200 a month from age 66 to 70 – some $50,000 in cash that he or she would not otherwise receive. Ideas like this are at least as good as an investment having the potential to produce a return of $50,000 without the risk.Rogers Penfi eld is a Knoxville certifi ed fi nancial planner who

The day will include interactive con-tests and activities. Prizes will be award-ed to the couple married the longest, the largest group present, the oldest man, the oldest woman and the couple who trav-eled the greatest distance to the event.

John T. O’Connor Senior Center hosted a “Walk with Walgreens” kickoff celebra-tion and indoor picnic July 10 with entertainment by The Circle of Friends.
The competition of area senior centers will run Aug. 1 through Oct. 31. Partici-pants need to log their steps and report them to their area senior center to count. In addition, those who reg-ister at www.walgreens.com/walk can earn coupons by logging steps online. Pe-dometers may be picked up at area Walgreens.
Walgreens will award cash prizes to the winning senior centers: fi rst place $500, second place $200, and third place $100.
“We want to take as many steps as we can, but bot-tom line, we want you to be healthier,” said O’Connor Center director Sue Mas-sengill.
“Thank you all for par-ticipating in this, and of course thanks to Walgreens. What a great thing they do across the state of Tennes-see,” said Mayor Madeline Rogero.
“As mayor, I want Knox-
Steppin’ out ville to be No. 1 in every-thing we do. And I know that because of you all, with 31 million plus steps last year, we won (O’Connor Center) not only in our re-gion, but the whole state of Tennessee. So thank you once again for all you did to make Knoxville excel, be-cause that is something we try to do every single day.
“I will be 60 in a few weeks, and I intend on participating as well,” said Rogero. “I actually have a pedometer and need to be getting my steps in every day, so this will be an in-centive.
“Also, I know that I can do this because Lois Kelly who is 104 years old and Miss Easley who hangs out with her are participating, so I know I can too.”
Walgreens representative and O’Connor Center advisory board chair Scot Stinett, O’Connor Se-
nior Center director Sue Massengill and Walgreens district manager Doug Hamburger celebrate
the 2011 Walk with Walgreens state championship, which the O’Connor Center won, as they kick

Exercise for healthy agingSixty-year-old Ester Kurz does
a lot of things, but taking pre-scribed medicine isn’t one of them. While most people her age take a pill for one thing or another, Kurz, from Baltimore, self-prescribes ex-ercise for healthy aging.
Kurz, who will turn 61 in June, goes to the Life Time Fitness in Rockville, Md., daily to enjoy ev-erything from boot camp to yoga. Her favorite day is Monday, she says, when she goes from kick-boxing to indoor cycling class to boot camp. “Each year, I seem to up the number and types of rou-tines,” she boasts.
Kurz’s attitude is counter to the majority of her peers. Just 30 percent of people between ages 45 and 64 say they engage in reg-ular leisure-time physical activ-ity, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s 2010 National Interview Survey. As people get older, they move
even less: 25 percent are active between the ages 65 and 74 and only 11 percent of those 85 and older say they are active.
That’s a problem because studies indicate there’s a correla-tion between activity and a lower death rate in older adults.
“Healthy aging is the ability to maintain your mental, physical and cellular health,” says Jason Stella, a personal trainer at Life Time Fitness, The Healthy Way of Life Company. “The process of aging is inevitable, but the choices you make, good or bad, throughout your lifetime dictate the rate at which you will age and the positive or negative health af-fects you develop.”
In particular, Stella says be-haviors that sabotage healthy aging include eating processed foods, taking too many medica-tions, not controlling stress and inactivity.
“I have had almost no injuries and very few aches and pains other than when I push myself too hard,” Kurz says. In addition to staying physically active, Kurz is a lobbyist for a grassroots ad-vocacy organization, a wife and mother of two sons, ages 19 and 21, as well as a volunteer with several organizations.
“A few years ago, I fell down a flight of stairs and, other than a few bruises and scrapes, did very little damage to my body,” Kurz says. “I have to believe exercise had a great deal to do with that.”
Regular exercise and physi-cal activity are critical to helping older adults stay independent as they age. Strengthening bone and joint health to protect mobility is all the motivation most active older adults need to exercise.
Kurz appreciates those ben-efits, too, but likes the added challenges. In February she
competed in the Life Time Fit-ness Alpha Showdown, a na-tional competition that tests the body’s core energy systems: power, strength and endurance. Most competitors were much younger than Kurz. “I did not win,” she says, “But I don’t think I came in last either, which was an achievement.”
Firmly in the second half of her life, Kurz is certain she has never been healthier or felt – ARA
stronger. Life Time Fitness is part of her health aging program, but the facilities, programming and events cater to all ages and abilities, from those new to an exercise routine to those who are emphatic believers in exercise as good medicine, like Kurz.
“Every checkup, my doctor asks me, ‘Still exercising like crazy?’ ” she says. “And then he adds, ‘keep it up.’ ”

they are “sick and tired of feeling sick and tired.”
What do they mean?“We work with people

“Together, we’ll unravel the complexity around food, listen to your body’s signals and give it what it needs to heal itself,

Casey says, “It’s common to hear people say they have a personal trainer, but almost no one says they have a personal dietitian. Yet exercise is about 20 percent of weight loss while nutrition is 80 percent.
“Think about it. Each of us has at least three food encoun-ters every day.”

Most Americans don’ t have life insurance, but wish they didIf you know you need life in-
surance, but still don’t have individual coverage, you’re not alone. According to the Life Insurance and Market Research Association, most Americans say life insurance is important, yet only one-third of them are covered by an individual policy. That’s the lowest level in 50 years.
“Most Americans know life insurance protects their loved ones against fi nancial hardship in the event of an unexpected death,” says Brian Murphy, who heads up The Hartford’s life insurance business. “But 40 percent of consumers get so discouraged by how long it takes to buy a permanent policy that they simply give up without getting the coverage they know they need.”
Applicants who want to buy life insurance are sometimes faced with perplexing forms and an approval process that can take more than a month to
complete.Murphy says there are new
ways of buying life insurance that take the pain out of the process. He also has some suggestions for how to im-prove on the old way of doing things.
“When today’s consumers are used to buying products online and receiving them at home within 48 hours,” Mur-phy says, “they have little pa-tience for waiting a month or more to receive a new life in-surance policy.”
Fortunately, consumers can help streamline the application process. Murphy offers four tips for speeding things up:
■ Do your homework fi rst. Find out about your options before you fi ll out a single application. You should know how much insurance you need, what type of policy you want and the terms and premium you can live with be-
fore you submit an application to any insurer.
■ Check your credit report before you apply. Many insurers take your credit score and habits into account when determining your life insurance premium. Knowing your score in advance can help ensure there are no surprises when you get your approved policy and the bill for your fi rst
premium. ■ Be thorough and
honest on the application. Virtually every insurer will ask health-related questions, and many will also require a health exam. Being less than truthful about weight, lifestyle hab-its and health conditions can cause your application to be delayed or even rejected.
■ Allow suffi cient time
when scheduling your health exam so that nei-ther you nor the exam-iner feels rushed or pres-sured. Ask what the exam will entail and if there are any requirements, like fasting or drinking lots of liquids. When making the appointment, also ask if you will need any addi-tional tests – such as an EKG or X-rays – and fi nd out if you can arrange for those to be done quickly.
■ Consider taking a new approach. Consum-ers aren’t the only ones who recognize the importance of accelerating the application process; insurers do, too. The Hartford, for example, recent-ly introduced a new patent-pending application process it calls Issue First. With Issue First, applicants answer eight questions and sign and fi le their application forms elec-tronically. Issue First trims the time it takes eligible clients to – ARA
receive a policy down from 48 days (an industry average) to as little as 48 hours.
“By creating a new way of assessing a person’s risk fac-tors and accelerating the pro-cess, consumers can now get life insurance coverage in a fraction of the time it used to take,” Murphy says. “And that means far more people are getting the coverage they re-ally need to protect their fami-lies and loved ones.”
In a pilot conducted by the company, clients who opted for the Issue First process end-ed up buying a life insurance policy 95 percent of the time, compared to a 65 percent clo-sure rate for clients who took the traditional application route.
