mayoral candidatesBy Betty Bean

If forums and debates are any measure of election year interest, 2011 is a good year for rep-resentative democracy in Knoxville, Tenn.

Last week’s big event in the mayor’s race was a well-attended candidate forum sponsored by the Alice Bell Spring Hill Neighborhood Association, Town Hall East and Fountain City Town Hall.

The forum kicked off with that rarest of oc-currences – a question the candidates hadn’t heard before:

“Knoxville Center is the seventh largest taxpayer in Knox County. The mall is for sale. Closing the mall would have a major impact on this part of town. What would you do to help save this mall?”

Bo Bennett, a 911-dispatcher who is running a low budget, outsider campaign and is not prone to hyperbole, said he is “iffy” on what you can do.

Mark Padgett, whose campaign would have to be described as the exact opposite of Ben-nett’s (well-funded son of former Knox County Clerk Mike Padgett, not shy about touting his accomplishments), said he’d get the stakehold-ers around the table and look for other op-portunities. When he’s mayor, he said, he will meet every week with a small business and a big business to find out what the city can do to keep them happy.

Ivan Harmon said he’d fi nd out why Simon Properties wants to leave and try to persuade them to stay.

“I’d go to the Chamber. We can’t afford to lose that revenue.”

Joe Hultquist said enclosed malls are in trou-ble all over the country and that the new owner will probably be looking to repurpose and/or re-develop Knoxville Center. He says the city must be a partner in whatever plan emerges.

Madeline Rogero said this is the kind of issue she faced when she was the city’s director of com-munity development, and said she would discuss possible public infrastructure improvements with the new owners with an eye to identifying potential reuse opportunities in the event that it is not going to continue to be a retail space.

The next question was a request to describe management experience in detail.

Harmon said he managed grocery stores and spent a combined 20 years on City Council and

What aboutKnoxville Center?

Broyles: ‘That was

directed at me’The Devon Group’s announce-

ment last week that it was pulling out of the Carter Elementary con-struction project caught more than a few people off-guard. Knox Coun-ty purchasing director Hugh Holt was “devastated.” Commissioner Amy Broyles said, “I’m probably the most surprised person in the coun-ty right now.”

Analysis

Devon Group pulls a surprise

A letter from Bob Talbott, one of the principals in the Devon Group, to County Mayor Tim Burchett cites “a combination of political agendas and opposition to the Carter plan” as the reason for the fi rm’s with-drawal. Broyles is not mentioned, but until she questioned the selec-tion process and asked about the State Street property purchased by Devon in 2007, there wasn’t a hint the developer would beg off.

Holt says he personally invested at least 500 hours since last No-vember putting the project togeth-er. Devon has indicated it will give the county its work product on the school, which may go to Partners Development, runner-up to Devon in the selection process. But Holt cautioned it won’t be as easy as sim-ply handing over the drawings to a new developer.

“There were fi ve attorneys in-volved in this,” he said, and with the developer, the county, the school board and the Industrial Develop-ment Board yet again being drawn into the process, the second time around will be no easier.

Aside from the expected com-ments to online news stories, the criticism aimed at Broyles has been indirect. Broyles says she was doing what voters elected her to do.

“I appreciate the out-of-the-box thinking (on the project),” Broyles said. “And I hope that the best parts of this process we can do again.

“I was doing my due diligence on this issue and I raised the con-

cerns I had. … This is my job. Any-one who’s trying to pin this (Devon’s withdrawal) on me is giving me an awful lot of power.”

Yet clearly Broyles’ questions caused the train to jump the track. Why?

A hard-nosed cynic might an-swer that Broyles gave the devel-oper cover, a reason to bail out of a project it wasn’t that happy with from the beginning. The school board’s approval surprised the mayor, this line of reasoning con-tinues, but he was too far out on the limb to climb off.

But that doesn’t wash. To buy it you must believe there was never any genuine concern for the chil-dren in the Carter community, that the process was a political sham. That’s frankly unthinkable.

So what could Broyles have said to make the Devon Group ner-vous?

“The fi rst issue we need to ad-dress is the selection process,” Broyles said at last week’s commis-sion workshop.

The Devon Group was ranked highest by the evaluation commit-tee. According to Holt, the fi rm was not the low bidder, coming in with an initial price of $16.9 million dol-lars for the school.

“I negotiated them down,” Holt said.

The bid price was allotted 35 points in the evaluation process. So, much of the evaluation was subjec-tive. But that wasn’t unique to this project, and a single commissioner wondering aloud about the selec-tion process hardly seems suffi cient reason to bail out.

Bob Talbott’s fi nancial problems are a matter of public record. Ear-lier this year he was named as a defendant in several lawsuits fi led by lenders. Talbott fi led a counter-claim against one lender.

The Devon Group would have been carrying the cost of construction until completion. Are the fi rm’s resources too fragile to bear that burden?

Right now there are more ques-tions than answers to this bizarre turn of events.

Construction has be-gun at the Halls Greenway on the stream restoration project of about 1,000 feet of Beaver Creek behind the Halls Shopping Center. Construction has begun

Part of the Halls Greenway has been closed during construction. Users are asked to watch for the signs and use a temporary alternate route, which can best be accessed from the Halls Branch Library or from the Halls Community Park entrances to the greenway.Photo submitted

Construction begins at Halls Greenway

Originally scheduled for July, the construction is expected to last about two weeks during good weather. Part of the greenway will be closed. A temporary route has been established and can best be accessed from either the Halls Library or from Halls Community Park.

Knox County Parks and Greenways coordinator Re-bekah Jane Justice says a new technique is being used to re-establish the “pool/riffl e” sequences found in a healthy stream. The project will restore health to the creek and re-create condi-tions necessary for fi sh and other aquatic life to fl ourish.

“We are excited to be a partner in this project,” said Justice. “When complete, our park and greenway visi-tors will see and experience the creek in a new way. It will defi nitely be an envi-ronmental asset for Halls Community Park.”

Oversight of the proj-ect, which is a partnership among the county’s parks and recreation department, stormwater management and the University of Ten-nessee, is provided by the Beaver Creek Task Force and the $150,000 cost is funded by a Tennessee Department of Agriculture grant.

Jerry’s letter ■

from homeEverything was as it

should be at the annual lie-

tellin’ session of the Gibbs DP Club last Wednesday at Gibbs Ruritan Park.

David “Red” Clapp had

made sure the watermelon was fresh and cold. Clayton Sharp didn’t waste much time cuttin’ ’em up.

Over in the corner, Charles “Tud” Etherton was talking about a guy who used to fl y an airplane around the Gibbs area who also ran moonshine. Jesse Butcher, who started this whole thing years ago, would be proud.

Jerry Cheung was show-ing off a letter he received from a grade school class-mate in China whom he hasn’t seen in 56 years. She sent it to him because, per Chinese tradition, this is Jerry’s birth year – the Year of the Rabbit.

He is 73, which is a su-perstitious year, because

Confucius died at that age. “See how fast (time

goes),” Jerry says. “I left China when I was a teen-ager. I can’t believe I’m in my 70s.”

Jerry held up a block of cedar. Most of the guys at the DP Club use it for whit-tlin’. But Jerry takes one home as a souvenir.

“This is my 21st block of cedar. I keep one and take it home every year. Cedar is very solid 24 karat gold in China because it’s so ex-pensive.”

Tud blessed the water-melon and everybody ate. I could hear laughter ringing out about the moonshiner as I headed back to my car.

All is right with the world.

William Hill would be glad to see his store build-ing’s interior looking as spa-cious as it did in the 1940s when Hill’s and Pratt’s were the places to shop for gro-ceries in Smithwood. Some of the temporary partitions have been removed and the expanded space provides a home for the Cottage Door Antiques and Gifts.

Back then, the families in nearby Adair Gardens, in-cluding the Earl Tumblins, found fresh produce and the staples they needed at one of the two stores. Oc-casionally, when the budget permitted, James Berkeley, the butcher at Hill’s, would deliver a standing-rib roast that was to die for.

The granite stone above the entry says, “Hill, 1940.” William M. Hill (1889-1964) began his career in groceries in a Greenway store in 1929 with his brother, Robert Hill. By 1940, William had bought out his brother and built his own store build-ing with apartments on the second story at the corner of Sanders Lane and Jacks-boro Pike.

Be thrifty and save a lifeFriends of Retrievers res-

cue group will have a yard sale beginning at 8 a.m. this Friday and Saturday, Aug. 25-26, at the corner of East Fox Den Drive and Grigsby Chapel Road.

In addition to fi nding a good deal, you will also be able to get information about volunteering as a foster parent to a dog in need. “We are absolutely desperate for foster families,” said Kim Badeaux, vice president and cofounder of the group.

Badeaux and her team search the outlying areas of East Tennessee and surrounding states for smaller shel-ters. Animals have less of a chance at a happy ending there than if they were brought to the larger shelters of Knox County. And Friends of Retrievers helps all breeds, not just retrievers.

“These little county shelters may only hold 12 animals. In that situation, it’s fi rst in, fi rst out. If they are out of room, someone gets put down.”

All proceeds from the fundraiser will go toward the costs of boarding and caring for the dogs that are rescued.

Donations of items for the sale are also being ac-cepted. But if you don’t want to buy something or donate items for the sale, and you can’t give a monetary dona-tion, maybe you can donate the one thing these little hearts need most: time.

The corner of Jacksboro Pike and Sanders Lane, now home to The Cottage Door, has been home to a number of businesses, beginning with Hill’s Grocery in 1940. Photo submitted

When his wife, Gertrude Wyrick Hill (1892-1944), passed away in 1944, Hill’s son-in-law, Carl E. Wells (1915-1974), left his job at the Blue Diamond Coal Co. and became co-owner of the store. Upon William Hill’s retirement, James H. Berk-ley (1923-1979), became co-owner.

Since the 1970s the lo-cation has been home to a

number of different busi-nesses but none seemed more suited to it than the Cottage Door.

Four friends, Liz Don-aldson, Charlotte Jellicorse, Beverly McMillan and Lu-cinda Watson, opened the Cottage Door in March 2010. They have an impres-sive stock of furniture (vin-tage and painted), fi ne wood pieces (cottage and shab-

by chic), children’s items (primitive and country), designer purses and wallets, and antique jewelry.

Their slogan, “All Your Favorite Things,” describes them well and the down home atmosphere reminds one of the Hill’s Market one knew in the 1940s. The Cottage Door Antiques and Gifts is a welcome addition to historic Smithwood.

Critter Tales

County Commission voting on annual budgets.

Joe Hultquist said he had a construction busi-ness and has chaired nu-merous taskforces: “My management and leader-ship experience is quite broad.”

Padgett talked about his undergraduate and mas-ter’s degrees from Lincoln Memorial University, his two years as an admin-istrative assistant work-ing for former Gov. Phil Bredesen and the time he spent sleeping on friends’ couches and working on a borrowed laptop when he was trying to get his gov-ernment software business off the ground.

Rogero reminded the au-dience that as director of community development, she managed a staff of 25, a $20 million budget and 85 programs. She listed a string of other employers rang-ing from Colin Powell and Dolly Parton to Capital One (“What’s in your wallet?”), as well as her two terms as a county commissioner.

Bennett said he is a 4th-degree black belt, managed a martial arts school and is a trainer at the E-911 cen-ter.

The candidates got a question about what their specific focus would be – enforcing stormwater regulations, dealing with blighted properties, beef-ing up codes enforcement?

Padgett said he’d focus on just a few issues and concentrate on growing jobs. Rogero said a mayor has to multitask. Hultquist said he’d push the county do a better job with regu-lating development. Har-mon said he’d have an open door policy and “get down in the ditch with you.”

Other questions were about redeveloping old, abandoned industrial sties like the former Brookside Mills property on Baxter Avenue (all the candidates support that); greenways, specifically linking up the unconnected segments in Fountain City. All the candidates said they love greenways.

Praise for former mayor Bill Haslam was peppered liberally throughout the forum. Hultquist f loated the most radical idea when the candidates were asked what they’d do differently from Haslam when he said he’d get rid of KUB as a stand-alone authority and bring it back under city control.

The final question called for a straightforward an-swer about dealing with homelessness:

“Will you support scat-tered or centralized hous-ing for the homeless?”

Harmon: No. Let the churches do it.

Hulquist: No. Look at building a centralized campus.

Padgett: No. Rogero: Permanent sup-

portive housing is one of nine strategies and where’s the city going to get $150 million for a homeless campus?

Bennett: Sort of no. Fa-vors a “combined approach with a bunch of different facets.”

Eddie Young, who in a relatively short four years has become Knoxville’s most infl uential voice for the homeless and the poor, says he just can’t read the com-ment section of the daily newspaper. He’d really like to believe that most people just aren’t that mean.

Young is an associate pastor at Redeemer Church in Fort Sanders as well as president and founder of Redeeming Hope Minis-tries, which has launched such Knoxville fi rsts as a voter registration drive for the homeless, publication of The Amplifi er, a monthly newspaper devoted to news of the homeless sold by homeless street vendors, and Food in the Fort, a feed-ing program that includes community vegetable gar-dens worked by members of the homeless community.

He spent 15 years of his youth caught up in the drug culture in his native Nash-ville, but he doesn’t think he deserves to be praised for turning his life around.

Called to compassion

“We love success stories because they are the excep-tion, not the rule. The per-son who overcomes terrible parents, extreme poverty or mental or physical disabili-ties – we love that because it is so rare. To most of us in the mainstream, those are things we don’t have to over-come. If you plant a tree and stake it to grow sideways, you can cut that cable 20 or 30 years down the road and it’s still going to grow side-ways.”

Young claims none of those handicaps.

“My family wasn’t wealthy, but I was privileged in that I had good parents. I could make a lot of mis-takes and still have a safety net under me. I was able to maintain a job. At 30, I was a manager in Nashville at UPS. That’s when I under-

went a real spiritual con-version. I decided to resign from UPS and go into the ministry.”

In 1995, Young and his wife, Lori, and son Mar-cus (his daughter Meagan wasn’t born yet) picked up and moved to the outskirts of Dundee Scotland, where he served a small church in a poor neighborhood. There, he said, “God lifted a veil” and allowed him to see what

his life’s work would be. One of the things he saw was The Big Issue, a newspaper for the homeless, much like The Amplifi er, which he would start years later in Knox-ville.

He gets frustrated be-cause there’s still so much to do.

“Compassion can only take you so far. You can’t force the community to be compassionate. But you can force the community to act justly. At the end of the day there are things that are right that a community has to almost be led to – I hate to say this – against its will. But when you talk about segregation in the South, if we’d left the decision up to the community, we’d still be segregated. We’ve lost sight of the fact that we are called to free the oppressed, not just clothe the naked and feed the hungry. When we work at the soup kitchen, we feel good that we’ve ac-complished something. But we have to get up and do it again tomorrow.”

Gov. Bill Haslam’s ad-ministration is meeting with Amazon to resolve the sales tax issue which has other businesses up in arms. For-mer Gov. Phil Bredesen cut a deal with Amazon for the giant Internet bookseller to not collect the state sales tax if they moved to Tennessee, a move which created hun-dreds of new jobs, most of which are now in Cleveland and Chattanooga.

While in this unsettled economic climate where the creation of new jobs is very desirable, there remains the issue of how any company located in Tennessee can legally escape collecting a sales tax which all other similar businesses must collect. Furthermore, the loss of this revenue reduces state government’s ability to perform the services re-quired by law. Why should any business in Tennessee have a competitive price ad-vantage over a competitor by more than 9 percent?

No doubt Gov. Haslam, when he agreed to continue the Bredesen commitment, did not want to jeopardize new jobs. However, almost

Amazon exemption unfair

a year has gone by and leg-islators are starting to ask questions. These include the very infl uential Repub-lican chairs of the Senate and House Finance Com-mittees, Sen. Randy Mc-Nally (who represents part of Knox County) and Rep. Charles Sargent of William-son County.

McNally and Sargent have formally asked the state Attorney General for an opinion on whether the state can legally ignore the law requiring businesses located within the state to collect the sales tax.

It will be interesting to see when Attorney General Robert Cooper responds and what he says. If he says the tax must be collected, will the Haslam administra-tion follow the AG opinion or go to court to contest it? Will another business go to

court to force the decision, as an AG opinion is simply an opinion and does not carry the force of law?

The governor as well as many Tennesseans rightly wonder when (or if) this Bredesen promise will end, or does Amazon avoid the sales tax collection for-ever? It would be hard to justify a forever exemption for any company no matter how many jobs they bring to Tennessee. There must be an end to the exemption. When is it?

Gov. Haslam is right to pursue these talks and bring closure to this issue. It pres-ents him a tough dilemma: job creation (and lost sales tax revenue) or enforcing the law at the risk of losing those jobs.

Notes:■ Madeline Rog-ero accelerates her push to win the Knoxville mayor’s offi ce in the primary with 50.1 percent of the vote. She is close. She is a better candidate today than she was eight years ago when she came close to winning. Mark Padgett, who raised the most money, seemingly has little to show for it and

could actually come in third behind Ivan Harmon. In a city election, having the most money is not necessar-ily a ticket to the runoff or victory. Early voting starts Sept. 7.

Council member Char-■ lie Thomas has agreed to a write-in effort to place him-self on the ballot for Nov. 8, but he has not named a treasurer and he cannot raise money for the Sept. 27 primary or the runoff until he does. Apparently, he is waiting to see if he actually gets the 25 write-in votes required to be on the bal-lot with Mark Campen (the only declared qualifi ed can-didate for District 5).

If that happens, then ■ all city voters will decide be-tween Campen and Thomas. Thomas will have to wage a very active campaign from Sept. 28 to Nov. 8 if he wants to win. However, Campen has not raised much money to date for his campaign, and his slow-motion activi-ty is part of the reason there was a push to get Thomas to agree to a write-in cam-paign. And now, neither is sprinting to the fi nish line.

How do we characterize the news that the Devon Group has pulled out of the Carter school project?

Are Bob Talbott and his associates serious?Yes, they are.Has Talbott really recoiled from “a combination of po-

litical agendas” that “changed the dynamic” as he wrote to Mayor Tim Burchett last Thursday?

Give me a break.If one commissioner’s comments at the commission

workshop constitute a “combination” that changes the “dynamic,” Amy Broyles has – until now – shielded from public view power that would make the governor tremble.

One commissioner, without a single “attagirl” from her colleagues, asks what happened to the Devon Group’s plans for developing the property at State Street and Church Avenue, the so-called “Sentinel Tower.”

One commissioner asks about alleged “construction issues” with the Knoxville Convention Center and Den-ark Construction.

“The model for the development of this new school has changed drastically since the initial RFP (request for proposal) was issued,” says one commissioner, and maybe we need to take another look at the selection process.

This is, in Talbott’s words, “a combination of politi-cal agendas and opposition to the Carter plan?” This was enough to send Talbott and Raja Jubran scurrying to safety crying “Danger, Will Robinson?” For this the Devon Group was willing to sacrifi ce a nice profi t, pick up their toys and go home?

Broyles should run for president. Her power to intimi-date the opposition is being thrown away at the county government level.

The wolves are in full bay on the daily’s website, eager to devour Broyles personally and politically. They’d fi nd more profi t in baying at the moon – they’re chasing a shadow.

If the house that Devon built could be leveled by a few questions from Broyles, the foundation was laid in quick-sand. There isn’t a municipal project in history that hasn’t been opposed by “political agendas” from the right or left. If I may, these folks “have some ’splainin’ to do.”

So Devon backs out and loses some revenue. Broyles speaks out and loses even more of the dubious rapport she enjoyed with the mayor and some of her colleagues.

The big losers? The children in the Carter community.No one who has stepped foot in Carter Elementary

walks away believing its condition to be other than disgraceful. And Carter has a lot of company in Knox County.

“We’ve got to do some serious school building,” Mike Brown said at the commission workshop, understating the obvious.

But while this is sorted out, while commission consid-ers tabling the project for a few months, while some school board members who voted to give the mayor his head have second and third thoughts, Carter Elementary deteriorates and the children wait.

For the children and their parents, it’s a bitter irony to think that had commission approved the school board’s plan to renovate the school, those renovations would have been well under way. The cost could well have topped the $2.5 million estimate, could easily have doubled that fi gure.

But something would have been done. And something is better than what they may have been left with for the foreseeable future – nothing at all.Contact Larry Van Guilder at lvgknox@mindspring.com.

A calamity for Carter

With all the public-ity about the Devon Group pulling out of the Carter school project, you may think County Commission will have little else to delib-erate today.

Not so. Right after roll call, attorney Herb Mon-cier is scheduled to speak at

Welcome back, Herbpublic forum. Moncier will ask commission to pass on paying former Sheriff Tim Hutchison a little more than $134,000 for Hutchison’s legal expenses in defending lawsuits brought by Mon-cier on behalf of various liti-gants.

Law Director Joe Jar-

ret brought the resolution to commission. Jarret has explained that commis-sion is not compelled by state law to pay the bill, but it may choose to do so. Commissioner R. Larry Smith was reimbursed for attorney fees, and so was former Commissioner

Paul Pinkston.Moncier will likely argue

that the Hutchison cases are not over, that higher courts may yet make rulings that support his position on “standing” for everyday citi-zens. However it turns out today, it’s usually entertain-ing when Moncier has the fl oor.

Come Wednesday I’ll be at a party on Kingston Pike, snap-ping pictures of Madeline Rogero and some of her best busi-ness buds at the home of Eddie Man-

nis. It should be fun.Reporters can usually

crash fundraisers (except the really BIG ones) to hob-nob with the rich and fa-mous. Problem is, we usu-ally encounter the same ol’ political types that we see at the free hot dog rallies. But then, the food is better.

This party will be fun if even half of the host com-mittee shows.

For instance, there is Dee Haslam, wife of Jimmy Haslam who has maxed out on contributions for Rogero’s opponent Mark Padgett.

Then there are the bank-ers, Larry Martin and Mon-ty Montgomery, and Regal Entertainment guy Greg Dunn. Not all business leaders are for Padgett, and showing that is the purpose of this particular fund-raiser. Also, raising money would be nice.

Going to a party

Becky Duncan Massey is not the most articulate can-didate in the race for state Senator. In fact, she’s often third when the three candi-dates appear at forums or on TV.

Undeterred, she says: “I know what my strengths are.”

Those strengths were on display a couple of weekends ago when Massey opened her headquarters on Kingston Pike (across from Bearden Elementary School).

Her brother U.S. Rep. John Duncan Jr. welcomed “a great, great turnout for a

GOSSIP AND LIESRyan Haynes ■ says there’s not much to say. Someone hacked into his Facebook account, replaced his picture with that of a panda and made snarky remarks. Ryan may be calm, but we hear Freddy Panda is looking for someone to sue.

Media ■ ridicule Republicans. That’s a common complaint on the GOP circuit. But how do you not talk about Michele Bachmann. First she tried to eat a corndog (check it out online); next she confused the date of Elvis Presley’s birth and death, pulling up at a campaign stop playing “Promise Land” and urging Elvis fans to celebrate Aug. 16.

And closer home ■ , the Devon Group pulled out

of their contract to build a new Carter Elemen-tary School after harsh criticism by Commis-sioner Amy Broyles. Which brings us to this pop quiz: What else did Amy cause?

A. Dictator Moammar Gaddafi fl ed Libya after Amy Broyles said he really had too many medals on his uniform and usually bad makeup.

B. Pilot Flying J announced a total conver-sion from petroleum to ethanol after Amy Broyles said gas fumes stink.

C. Barack Obama declared he won’t run for re-election because Amy Broyles said he’s been out of his element since he left the Illinois state Senate.

D. Freddy Joe on the playground at day care picked up his marbles and left because Amy Broyles muttered something about his momma.

Madeline Rogero

A.C. Entertainment guy Ashley Capps is on the list, as are developers Nick Cazana, Tom Weiss and Rodney Lawler. There are lawyers John Buckingham and Mark Mamantov, plus PR guy Tom Jester. I rec-ognized a couple of doc-tors, Doug Leahy and Steve Brewington, and the own-ers of The Lunch Box, Kar-en and Don Sproles.

If Rogero is elected mayor, look at what she’s overcome:

Not from around here■

Democrat■

Female■

Not wealthy■

Nothing against Mark Padgett, who has a great career ahead, or Ivan Har-mon, who’s had a great ca-reer already, but eight years ago Bill Haslam was elected mayor with the slogan: “It’s Knoxville’s Time.”

The year 2011 is looking more and more like “Roge-ro’s Time,” and on Wednes-day I’m going to a party.

Duncans unitedgreat, great candidate.”

Jimmy Duncan added, “I’m pretty sure I’ve known her longer than anybody here.”

Prominently displayed was a photograph of her dad, the late U.S. Rep. John Dun-can Sr., on Air Force One with Howard Baker Jr. and Harold Ford Sr. Her uncle,

the retired ap-pellate judge Joe Duncan, was in the crowd, along with numerous nieces and neph-ews.

“Becky grew up in a political family,” said Jim-my Duncan, “but she has made her mark outside of politics.”

Becky and husband Morton were leaders at the Rocky Hill ballpark for 20 years while their daughters came through the soft-ball program.

Becky and Morton have supported numerous char-ity auctions at no charge and Becky has served as executive director of the regional Sertoma Center for many years. Her degree from UT is in business ad-ministration.

“We need more business people in government,” said Massey. “My main concern is the economy; my experience

is in balancing a budget.”

One Duncan was notice-ably missing from the event. Knox County Trustee John Duncan III said afterwards he was out of town. In re-sponse to our question, he wrote: “I’m supporting Becky and even have one of her signs in my yard. She is going to be a great state Senator!”

While former Mayor Vic-tor Ashe attended, the event was sparse on county offi ce-holders. Most are lying low, waiting for a primary win-ner to emerge.

Marilyn Roddy has served eight years on City Council and is poised and “together.”

Victoria DeFreese served briefl y on County Commis-sion and lives in South Knox County.

Becky Duncan Massey has never held a public of-fi ce, yet she’s identifi ed as “political.”

It’s an interesting contest, but we all know Massey’s strength. It’s the united or-ganization of Duncan family and friends. And that’s hard to beat in Knox County.

Every year, around this time, I tell this story to someone,

with little or no provocation. This year it is your turn.

I was a young teenager, my brother three years older, my mother a young widow. One Au-gust afternoon, we decided we

CROSS CURRENTS | Lynn Hutton

August miracle

When I look at your heavens, the work of your fi ngers, the moon and stars that you have established; what are human beings that you are mindful of them, mortals that you care for them?

(Psalm 8: 3-4 NRSV)

There are two ways to live: you can live as if nothing is a miracle; you can live as if everything is a miracle.

(Albert Einstein)

wanted to camp out somewhere. It was an extremely impromptu idea, but Mother got permission from a friend who owned a farm, my brother and I each invited a friend, and we set off.

We took a pot of stew and some fi rewood and a bundle of quilts. We found a spot in the middle of an open fi eld. We ate our stew, let the fi re burn down, then stretched out on our quilts under the star-light. No sleeping bags, no tent, no lanterns, not even a candle.

We had no idea the light show the universe had planned for us.

We saw shooting stars all night: long, trailing streams of light that decayed amazingly slowly, what the ancients called “the dragon stars.” We stayed awake much of that soft summer night, watch-ing the show, oohing and aahing, afraid to blink for fear we would miss the next one.

I had never before, and have never since, seen anything quite like it.

It was many years later that I learned about the Perseids and realized that must have been the very meteor shower we saw that night. It happens every year in August, because the Earth is in the phase of its journey around the sun that allows us to see the meteors emanating from the con-stellation Perseus in the northern sky, hence their name.

It was quite late when we fi nally went to sleep and early morn-ing when we awoke. The fi re had burned to nothing, and we were dew-covered. But I heard my mother laugh and rolled over to look skyward. There was a circle of faces looking down at us.

The farmer’s cows had come to see what was going on in their fi eld! They stood around us in a

perfect ring, sniffi ng us, clearly as amazed as we were. Cows are cu-rious creatures (something else I learned much later) and they were mystifi ed by this peculiar human behavior. It was almost as if one of them had found us and mooed the message to her friends: “Hey, Bossy, come and see what I found! Silly humans!”

I treasure that night for many reasons, not least of which is that my mother was willing to do such a whimsical thing. I also trea-sure the memory of the heavens ablaze with meteors, more amaz-ing than any man-made fire-works display. I remember with great pleasure the dew, the dying embers of the fire, the curious cows, the rising sun, the smell of the wet grass.

Given Einstein’s choices quoted above, I choose to live life as if ev-erything is a miracle.

That last Watergate sum-mer ended 37 years ago this month, the hot August

Washington air stained with the paradoxical sadness and sleaze that marked much of the Nixon years.

One-time White House chief of staff H.R. “Bob” Haldeman later wrote that he believes the seeds for Richard Nixon’s down-fall that culminated with the president’s August 1974 resigna-tion were planted in May 1970. It happened in the wake of Nixon’s decision to invade Cambodia and the resulting paranoia from press leaks and student dem-onstrations that followed in the days after the military action and the May 4 killing of four stu-dents by national guardsmen at Kent State University.

Late that month Nixon made his fi rst visit to a college campus in more than a year. He came to Knoxville as the guest of honor on Youth Night (May 28), during the 10-day East Tennessee Billy Graham Crusade at Neyland Sta-dium.

The decision to attend appears to have been an impromptu one. On Tuesday, May 26, the White House announced it as an uncer-tain possibility. The Knoxville Journal didn’t confi rm it until the morning of the visit. Nixon was indeed making a brief stopover in Knoxville to attend the Crusade before heading to the Western White House at San Clemente, Calif., for Memorial Day weekend. U.S. Rep. John Duncan Sr. told the Knoxville News Sentinel he had invited Nixon to attend the Cru-sade “because of his close friend-ship” with Graham.

Graham told News Sentinel re-porters Nixon’s appearance was not political in nature, according to an unsigned story that ran the

Nixon came, and an overfl ow crowd estimated at 75,000 to 100,000 was waiting when he ar-rived about 30 minutes late that Thursday night. The large crowd gave him a one-minute standing ovation.

But even here, surrounded by thousands who supported him, Nixon could not escape the pro-tests.

A group described as being ev-erything from “a small band of hecklers” to 350-400 people, most of them sitting in the east stands of the stadium around the 20-yard line closest to the north end zone, frequently interrupted Nix-on’s speech, many holding signs that read “Thou Shalt Not Kill.” The protestors also reportedly chanted “Push ’em back, push ’em back” and “1-2-3-4, we don’t want Nixon’s war!”

UT’s Daily Beacon reported the next day that singer Ethel Waters angered the protesters when she referred to Nixon as “my blessed child.” After they let out an au-dible jeer, Waters said, “Now you children listen to Mama. If my arms were long enough, I’d reach out and smack ya, but I’d love you and hug you, too.”

Nixon spoke for 14 minutes. He said that if America was going to have peace, it would have to return to “those great spiritual sources.”

“I know there are things about America that are wrong,” Nixon told the crowd. “But I also know this: that this is a country where a young person knows that there is a peaceful way he can change what he doesn’t like about America.”

Nine people were arrested that night. All were charged with dis-rupting a religious service. Some were charged with assaulting a police offi cer. At least three were UT students and one was iden-tifi ed by both the Daily Beacon and Knoxville Journal as Carroll Bible, 25, who had been arrested in the Jan. 15 incident on campus and was described by the Journal as a “hippy leader” who was not enrolled as a student at the time of the Crusade.

The Journal was blunt about the protests in an editorial pub-lished the day after Nixon’s visit.

“The unspeakable nastiness of a handful of undisciplined brats seemed only to intensify the com-mitment of the pro-Nixon ele-

ments and to alienate even more of the UT students,” it read, indic-ative of the newspaper’s decidedly partisan Republican tone at the time. (The newspaper’s front page declared “This is Nixon Country” the day after his visit.)

Controversial UT history pro-fessor Dr. Richard Marius was no less blunt with his point of view.

“Graham is still back in the days when religion, as Marx said, was just an opiate of the people,” Mari-us was quoted in the Daily Beacon as saying. “It would do us no good to disrupt (the Crusade) because the people would beat us up.”

(Ironically, Marius held a de-gree in divinity and would spend much of his adult life studying the Protestant Reformation.)

Religious studies professor Dr. Charles Reynolds, according to the Beacon’s Rob Christensen, had suggested the protesting students “should go and kneel on the turf and say a prayer for peace” when Graham delivered the altar call.

“This plan was not executed at the Crusade.”

UT president Dr. Andy Holt said he was “shocked and embar-rassed” by the protests and vowed to cooperate with police. Police photographers had roamed the stadium with orders to take pic-tures of any riotous demonstra-tors. Knoxville Mayor Leonard Rogers later said, “Those who can be identifi ed will be prosecuted for disturbing public worship.”

In a 2006 News Sentinel col-umn about the Crusade, Don Fer-guson noted that 43 people were ultimately arrested and charged with disorderly conduct and dis-ruption of a religious service

On Friday, May 29, the Journal declared that Nixon could now go about his duties “with the knowl-edge that America’s heartland is with him.”

Nixon, for his part, was “elated over his reception Thursday night at the Billy Graham Crusade in Neyland Stadium,” reported Guy L. Smith IV on the front page after talking with Nixon press secretary Ron Ziegler in San Clemente.

If you believe Bob Haldeman, Nixon’s elation didn’t last long. Jake Mabe has been wallowing in Watergate

since he wrote a report on the scandal in the

day of Nixon’s visit.

“He is the president of all the people, Democrat and Republi-can,” Graham said.

A Journal editorial that ran the same day said the newspaper did not believe Nixon’s visit was per-sonal or political. Nixon, the pa-per said, would by his visit “focus greater national attention on the Billy Graham Crusade at a time when a large part of the American public is in moral and spiritual turmoil.”

Others have suggested that the University of Tennessee might be the one campus in America Nixon thought he could visit in the weeks after Cambodia and Kent State without too much protest. East Tennessee was solidly Republican, although the UT campus itself had seen its share of turmoil. Twenty-two people had been arrested on campus during demonstrations in front of the UT administration building on Jan. 15, 1970.

HALLS/FOUNTAIN CITY SHOPPER-NEWS • AUGUST 22, 2011 • A-7

This is the last crystal-clear look at Tennessee football

before results cloud the view. At more than one position,

we are about to discover wheth-er talent or experience is more important. If talent wins and freshmen play, a recruiting we will go! Trying to be fair, bal-anced and objective, what we think we see overall is a mixture of optimism and watch-out cau-tion. Seven and five would be ac-ceptable. Eight and four would be a good season, considering how far expectations have been beaten down.

Anything better would be cause for celebration, contract extension and more money spread around, with or without an athletic director. No way to dress up six-six and pretend it is progress.

Reality begins to set in when we stare at the week-by-week schedule. You don’t need me to

tell you that this team, any Ten-nessee team worthy of orange shirts that doesn’t get lost on the Vol Walk, will defeat Mon-tana, Cincinnati, Buffalo and Middle Tennessee State at Ney-land Stadium, morning, noon or night kickoff.

Well, the Bearcats most times.

At least seven and maybe all eight Southeastern Confer-ence foes undoubtedly believe they are better than Tennessee. Choose your arguments care-fully.

The Florida search commit-tee found an exciting new coach almost immediately. He pur-chased an offensive genius and they, together, have replaced several moving parts. Do you think the young Gators fear the Volunteers? In Gainesville?

Georgia, LSU, Alabama, South Carolina and Arkansas are undoubtedly counting Ten-

Last look before results get in

the way

nessee as a stepping stone along their path to Atlanta, big bowl games and another national championship for somebody.

Surely Vanderbilt is not so cocky. Up to now, the Commo-dores haven’t done anything ex-cept talk. They are talking bold-ly. The new coach is running a fever.

Kentucky is no more than even with Tennessee in talent but the Wildcats have convinced each other that their time will eventually come. Indeed, histo-ry suggests nobody lives forever and all good things will some-time come to an end. I believe the blues believe the streak will finally expire on Nov. 26 in Lex-ington. It will be sad, whenever it happens, but I would not be shocked.

To get six victories, the Vol-unteers must pick up the four obvious and whip Vandy and Kentucky. To get seven, they must upset somebody, Florida or Georgia being the best bets. Both would make eight. Tigers and Gamecocks in Knoxville are longer shots.

Winning in Tuscaloosa and Fayetteville would be simply wonderful. Derek Dooley for coach of the year. Tyler Bray au-tomatic All-American. The full-back or somebody in the offen-sive line qualifies for the Jacobs

blocking trophy. The running game gains

thousands of yards. Youth-ful linebackers make shocking progress. A Volunteer actually f lourishes as punt returner. There are no injuries, no inter-ceptions, no fumbles – and only 11 on the field at any given time. All games are sellouts! Parking is free! Concession prices are cut in half!

Oops. Sorry about that. Got carried away. Could be heat stroke. Thank you for caring. I can see more clearly now.

I believe Tennessee football is headed in the correct direction. I lack the wisdom to determine how long it will take to arrive at the necessary destination. So much really does depend on evaluations and recruiting – and luck.

As for now, I think the offense will be moderately improved and a bit better balanced. I do not expect the buoyant Bray to be repressed by technical diffi-culties. Huddle administration? Are you kidding me, throw the football!

Experience in the blocking front should add a first down or two but I do not foresee it man-handling strong defenses. Like-wise, I don’t expect us to get pushed around as often.

Young receivers have abil-

ity. Check back later to assess smarts. New runners Marlin Lane and Tom Smith project as plusses. Slipping Rajion Neal into the slot is intriguing. It is almost enough to make you think old line coach Jim Chaney is getting creative.

I am not over-confident about defense. The secondary is better. There are actually some spare parts. The team is thin at tackle and end. Daniel Hood may be-come a lifesaver. Tennessee may or may not be able to wrest the ball from tough foes.

The largest concern is youth and uncertainty at linebacker. Peter Sirmon faces a serious coaching challenge. He is sur-rounded by green. Great fresh-men can beat bad opponents but …well, we’ll see whether spring practice matters.

The kicking game, a giant segment of championship foot-ball, remains a mysterious piece of the Tennessee puzzle. Maybe yes, maybe later. Maybe not at all.

You need to know that in the good old days, Robert R. Neyland spent all of February coaching kickers – before the beginning of spring practice. Alas and alas, these are not the good old days. Not yet.Marvin West invites reader reaction. His address

is westwest6@netzero.com.

Let’s face it: trillions are the new billions.

If you watched the debt ceil-ing debate unfold in Washing-ton, you’ve learned that a billion dollars is chump change these days, nothing to break a sweat over when the national debt has topped $14 trillion.

But just how much is a tril-lion? Bill Gates and Warren Buf-fett may be comfortable talking about personal net worth in bil-lions, but even the super rich don’t aspire to accumulate tril-lions of dollars.

Maybe we can construct a scenario that helps us grasp how large a trillion of anything is. Imagine you just walked into your favorite bakery, eager to grab a box of bear claws to pair with your morning coffee at breakfast tomorrow.

“Sure is crowded in here to-day,” you grumble, squeezing your way through the waiting customers to get a number from the dispenser on the counter. You grab the slip, but you groan when you see your number is 1,000,000,000,001.

(Right here we should note this is one heck of a big bakery, although you may have figured that out on your own.)

But when we try to estimate the size of universe, we’re really measuring time, not distance. The speed of light is the limiting factor. We’ve “seen” to a distance of about 14 billion light years. That may or may not be the edge of the universe, which could be infinite. (Let’s skip the discus-sion of infinity – my head hurts already.)

Yet even that unimaginably vast distance shrinks to insig-nificance alongside our friend trillion. We would need 700 uni-verses of the size we’ve observed lined up edge to edge to span the distance light travels in a trillion years.

Perhaps it’s best to leave the discussion of trillions to the ex-perts, to those who don’t break out in a cold sweat just con-templating such mind-boggling numbers. Speaker Boehner? Sen. Reid? Help!Contact Larry Van Guilder at lvgknox@

Roughly 1,200 generations later, your ancestors claim your dusty bones from the bakery f loor, 31,710 years or 1,000,000,000,001 seconds af-ter you decided to make a “quick” stop for bear claws. (Don’t feel bad – your pastries would have been stale anyway after 317 cen-turies.)

Where else might we turn to get a handle on trillions? How about the vastness of the uni-verse itself? Surely trillions mean something there.

Well, yes and no. Take our home galaxy, the Milky Way. The best estimates place the number of stars in the Milky Way galaxy somewhere between 200 and 400 billion, so three or four gal-axies of roughly the same com-position would contain about a trillion stars.

Only a tiny fraction of these stars are visible to the naked eye, just as only a fraction of all the galaxies in the universe can be seen from Earth. Astronomers estimate the universe contains 100 to 200 billion galaxies, so the number of stars in the uni-verse may range as high as 8,000

trillion.(Thinking that over, I don’t

feel nearly as dejected about the $14 trillion national debt as I did a few minutes ago. If only 10 percent of those stars contained a planet with intelligent life will-ing to loan the U.S. a buck, we could pay off the debt and have $786 trillion left over. On the other hand, intelligent extrater-restrial life probably wouldn’t loan us a dime.)

There has to be a lot of elbow room in the universe to squeeze in hundreds of billions of gal-axies and trillions of stars, and there is. The standard cosmolog-

For Travis Henderson, receiving the call to pastor Glenwood Baptist Church was a call to come home.

Henderson, a Knox-ville native and graduate of South-Doyle High School, comes to Glenwood from Potecasi, N.C.

“No one is going to know where Potecasi is,” he says with a smile. Henderson pa-stored the Potecasi Baptist Church. Prior to his service there he served as the asso-ciate pastor for music, youth and children at Mount Her-mon Baptist Church in the Raleigh, N.C., area.

Prior to that, Henderson was getting his master’s from Southeastern Baptist Theo-logical Seminary in Wake

Forest, N.C. He received his bachelor’s degree from the University of Tennessee.

Henderson and his wife, Whitney, have two daugh-ters: Isabella, 9, and Olivia, who turned 5 last Sunday.

Henderson’s fi rst offi cial day was Aug. 8 after being called by the church the day before.

His focus is on the com-munity – he uses the word “community” frequently.

“We’re here to show the love of Christ to the com-munity,” he says. “Our goal is to take the gospel to the community and ultimately to the ends of the earth. We want the community to know we’re here and we want to be a part of the com-munity.”

Travis Henderson is the new pastor at Glenwood Baptist Church. Photo by Greg Householder

New pastor at Glenwood Baptist

Henderson philosophi-cally keeps the presence of the church in perspective. He likes to ask this question: “If our doors closed today, what would be the impact on the community?”

He hopes it would be huge. He compares the church to a lighthouse.

“The closer the ships get, the brighter it gets,” he says.

Henderson wants to serve not just the Powell community, but also Halls, Fountain City and other surrounding areas.

Though Glenwood is rich in history, Henderson does not want the church to have an exclusive reputation.

“Everyone is welcome,” he says. “We’re not the church where you if walk in wearing blue jeans someone will stare at you. Likewise if you’re wearing a three-piece suit,” he adds.

Glenwood Baptist will hold its homecoming Sun-day, Sept. 18.

Congress enacted legislation in 2006 that

required the Postal Service to prefund future

retirees’ health insurance benefi ts (including

future employees not yet hired), a burden

required of no other business or agency,

public or private. It forced the payment of

$5.4 billion annually for 10 years, directly

from operating expenses, which have led to

losses of $5 billion annually. Without those

burdensome payments, the Postal Service

would have earned hundreds of millions of

dollars annually over the past 4 years.

Th e Great Recession and high fuel

prices only worsened the fi nancial impact.

As a result of the losses, over 120,000 jobs

have been cut and there are eff orts to end

Saturday mail delivery and close local post

offi ces. Some people may not be aff ected by

ending Saturday delivery, but many others

benefi t from the medicine, letters, cards,

checks, matter for the blind, newspapers,

packages and/or magazines they mail or

receive on Saturdays. Many small businesses

rely on timely, 6-day mail delivery.

Th ree separate government agency

audits of the Postal Civil Service Retirement

System found a minimum of $50 billion

in overpayments. Legislation is pending in

Congress that would provide relief from

the devastating and unjustifi able legislation

enacted in 2006. HR 1351 is crucial

to solving the USPS fi nancial crisis and

maintaining the best and least expensive

mail delivery in the world.

*Subject to our liberal credit limitations and policies, if any.

It occurred to me the oth-er day that, although I fancy myself a journalist, I’ve never directly interviewed the subject of this column, namely my 3-year-old Dan-iel. I’ve written things he’s said, but those have all been in the course of daily life.

So, now that the miracle of speech has created more give and take between us, I fi gured I’d ask Daniel some questions and write down the answers.

I started with an expla-nation. “Mommy writes sto-ries about Daniel to go in the newspaper, and lots of people read them. I want to ask you some questions and write down your answers.”

I started simply. Daniel said his favorite color is or-ange. Why? “Because of or-ange juice.”

His favorite story is Thomas the Train, also his favorite toy. Favorite food: pasta. Favorite treat: Scooby Doo gummy snacks.

Who are his friends? Alex, Henry and Lucas.

I asked him to tell me about his family, and he re-plied, “Aunt Erin lets me play with her clock.”

From the horse’s mouth

moms101

Shannon Carey

He means that my sis-ter has an iPad with a nifty clock application that Daniel likes to play with.

What is Daniel’s favorite place to go? “To see the shiny knights. The shiny knights have swords, and they fi ght all the people.”

This one requires some explanation, too. Aunt Erin, mentioned above, is in the Society for Creative Anach-ronism, aka people who dress up in Medieval garb and learn to fi ght and craft like people of yore. We took Daniel to an SCA event this summer, and he was entranced with what he called “shiny knights.” I don’t think he noticed that the “swords” were covered in foam rubber.

Where else does he like to go? “The zoo to see all the animals.”

What animal is his favor-

ite? “The elephants because they’re big, and they play in the green water.”

What are you scared of? “The yellow bear.”

The yellow bear is Daniel’s imaginary nemesis. From what I’ve been able to glean, the yellow bear is like Pooh Bear, but he’s tall and has long claws. I can’t recall that Daniel has ever really been afraid of the yellow bear, but sometimes he pretends to hide from the yellow bear, al-ways with a grin on his face.

What’s his favorite game? “Playing lightsabers with Mommy and Papa.” Appar-ently the Force is strong with this one.

I think parents are so used to telling little ones what’s what that we forget to ask their opinions. Before I started asking questions, I had no idea that Daniel even had a favorite color. I didn’t know that one trip to the SCA had made such a big impres-sion on him, bigger even than multiple trips to the zoo.

From now on, I’m defi -nitely going to ask more and tell less.Contact Shannon Carey at shannon@ShopperNewsNow.com.

Storms and rain kept the 10U All Star teams from Halls Community Park from fi nish-ing their game in record time, but the teams battled weath-er and each other to fi nally have a fi nish and to name the champions this year.

The American and Na-tional league teams at the park battled back and forth, facing four lead changes un-til Caleb White hit a grand slam to bring the National League team to victory with a 12-7 score.

Each league consists of players from the park teams and an evening of great baseball caps off the end of the season.

Players from the National League were: (representing the Cubs Blue) Nathan Black-burn, Abe Black, Hayden Smith, Harrison Campbell; (representing the Spar-tans) Michael Hobby, Ethan Campbell, Braydon Holbert; (representing the Storm) Stephen Johnson, Warren Morelock, Noah Small; (rep-resenting the Cubs Red) Dy-

Knoxville Stone Interiors is donating granite to Habi-tat for Humanity to sell for bathroom vanities or small kitchens through the Re-Store outlet, 314 Merchants Drive next to Outback Steak-house. Info: 688-8807.

ReStore is a retail venture featuring a large inventory of new and donated home improvement items. Since inventory includes leftover material, donated by lo-cal contractors, sometimes there is limited quantity of matching materials.

Knoxville Stone Interiors offers a low price for fabri-cation and installation as an additional way to support ReStore.

Manager Eric Grind-all said, “When we tear out old countertops, we will donate the salvage-able parts to ReStore along with any sinks or fixtures. This saves the homeown-ers from hauling to the dump, keeps the materials out of the landfill and gives ReStore a chance to rehab a good item in support of Habitat for Humanity. We give the granite that we can’t use for whatever rea-son. We want to be a big supporter of Habitat.”

Knoxville Stone Interiors is located at 231 E. Emory Road near Interstate 75, inside of VIC International. Info: 938-7169.

Cancun Mexican Grill and Bar has opened at 4100 Crippen Road near Walgreens. The grill will be open 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday

Cancun will offer a wide variety of authentic Mexican favorites including quesadil-las, chimichangas, burritos,

enchiladas and more. Finish off your meal with desserts, including fried ice cream, banana or apple chimichan-gas, fl an or sopapillas with ice cream. Info: 377-3675.

Hallsdale Powell Utility District is check-ing off completed projects from its massive capital improvement plan.

Final payments for the Norris Shores wa-terline in Union County and a connector to Big Ridge State Park were OK’d by commissioners last week. And the new headquarters and op-erations center on Cunningham Road are near completion as well.

The old headquarters has been demolished and work is underway on parking lot paving. Yet statistics show the softness in real estate construction as just 13 water meters were set in July and eight sewer connections inspected. HPUD treated 250.8 million gallons of water and 204.3 million gallons of waste water for the month.

The board approved a Rural Development loan for $1.566 million to replace the galva-nized line on Brushy Valley Road.

The board also approved a loan from the State Revolving Loan Fund for $600,000 to

address cost overruns in the project to in-crease the main water line on Maynardville Pike from Union County into Halls. Consult-ing Engineer Robert Campbell said the over-runs resulted from a decision to upgrade connections with arterial lines now, rather than come back later for the upgrade.

HPUD will be reimbursed by the Tennes-see Department of Transportation for a por-tion of the project.

The board declared leftover furniture and equipment from the old headquarters as sur-plus and asked Cardwell to sell it at auction.

Among payments approved were: $233,115 to Morgan Contracting Inc. for the Willow Fork Interceptor project; $220,997 to Merkel Brothers for work on the SR33 project; and $119,548 to Mike Smith Pump Service LLC for work on the Sharp’s Chapel waterline extension project.

The next HPUD board meeting is 1:30 p.m. Monday, Sept. 12, at the HPUD head-quarters.

Businesses and individu-als joined to put the annual Alzheimer’s Walk over the top, under the leadership of Phillip Fulmer. Top walkers and sponsors were honored Aug. 18 at a luncheon.

Together, the corporate community and grassroots volunteers raised $211,332. More than 1,400 people raised $151,182 through car washes, spaghetti dinners and other events.

The Knoxville Alzheimer’s Walk supports more than 22,000 East Tennessee fami-lies facing Alzheimer’s by funding services, education programs and advocacy for research coordinated by Al-zheimer’s Tennessee Inc. The executive director is former TV news reporter Kay Wat-son. Info: www.alztennessee.org or 544-6288.

When an automobile accident last spring left her with broken bones in both legs and one arm, 40-year-old Kimberly Wilson of Knoxville felt like her whole world had been thrown off balance.

“I didn’t have a good side or a bad side, because both sides were messed up,” says Wilson. “They said that I was lucky to survive. They also said it would be six months before I was back to doing normal activities.”

Help for vertigoIf your world suddenly

spins – and not because you’re dancing – chances are you might have a touch of ver-tigo, an inner ear problem that makes you feel suddenly dizzy.

About 20 percent of all vertigo is from a condition called benign paroxysmal po-sitional vertigo (BPPV), also called “positional vertigo.” It simply means dizziness is brought on by a position of the head – lying down, for example, or leaning over.

The problem begins deep in the inner ear, which contains three loop-shaped canals and two small organs called the utricle and saccule. The utricle and saccule shed crystals of calcium carbonate called oto-conia (commonly called “ear rocks”). These tiny crystals help the body detect move-ment and gravity.

Sometimes these crystals can migrate out of the utricle and saccule, and travel through the ear canals, touching nerve endings where they shouldn’t, causing dizziness. The inner ear fl uid will fl ush out the crys-tals over time. But if a person is dehydrated, the inner ear contains less fl uid, making the problem worse. That’s why cold medications or alcohol use, both of which can cause dehydration, also can cause dizziness. Older people shed more crystals as well. About 50 percent of dizziness in older people is due to BPPV.

“Vertigo is usually quite intense and frightening to the patient,” explains Dotty Lowe, a physical therapist at Fort Sanders Therapy Center in Powell, which treats BPPV. “It makes them feel like they’re going to fall, but if they stay still, it will calm down.”

Lowe says physical thera-pists can easily treat positional vertigo with a series of simple, slow maneuvers of the head. The goal is to move the head slowly in several different posi-tions, to help move the crystals along the canal and into less sensitive spots in the inner ear.

Most patients only need a few short visits to learn the maneuvers, which are effective in 85 to 90 percent of people.

“You either get better or you don’t,” says Lowe. “And if you don’t, we refer you to someone else to see if there are other problems affecting your bal-ance. I think people with po-sitional vertigo should at least give it a try,” she adds. “It’s an easy thing to do.”

For more information about treating vertigo, call Fort Sanders Therapy Centers at (865) 541-1300.

Fort Sanders physical therapist Jennifer Templeton uses exercises to strengthen Kimberly Wilson’s leg and improve her balance.

Fort Sanders Therapy Center helpsaccident victim regain balance

“She told me to walk on the beach, it’s good for me. She wasn’t even there, and she’s telling me what to do!” says Wilson with a laugh.

Wilson credits Templeton and the staff of Fort Sanders Therapy Center for helping her recover so quickly. Just two months after the accident, Wilson attended physical therapy three times each week, at fi rst in a wheelchair.

“When I started at the physical therapy center, little by little I started seeing improvement and getting en-couragement,” explains Wilson. “They pushed me hard enough to get the right benefi t. I could hardly walk, I was al-ways afraid of falling. But then I started seeing improvement with my gait, and soon I could walk across the room.”

Now, Wilson is continuing to work on climbing up and down stairs. “I was terrifi ed with stairs, you have to have balance to do those,” says Wilson. “It’s still a challenge for me. I can do it, but it’s hard. But I cannot believe I’m where I am now.”

Wilson says she would recommend Fort Sanders Therapy Center to anyone with balance problems. “They are really good. You almost look forward to going because they become like friends. My doctor is just amazed at my progress.”

Volunteer Stephen Minister Training off ered at Fort Sanders Regional

The Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center Pastoral Care Department is inviting people in-terested in learning about the Stephen Ministry program to an information meeting at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 30. The meeting will be held in Classroom 1 on the hospital’s main lobby level.

Stephen Ministers provides one-on-one Christian spiritual care giving to hospitalized people and their loved ones. Stephen Ministers

undergo 50 hours of special hospital-based classes. Training workshops will be held Sept. 16 and 17, with weekly classes on Thursday evenings. Program graduates commit to serv-ing as volunteer Stephen Ministers with Fort Sanders Regional chaplains for one hour each week for two years.

Stephen Ministers serve patients at Fort Sanders Regional Medical, Patricia Neal Re-habilitation Center, as well as Thompson Can-cer Survival Center. For information about applying to become a Stephen Minister, contact Fort Sanders Regional Chaplain Doug Hair at (865) 541-1234.

Trips and falls are common among seniors, but they’re of-ten preventable, according to Jennifer Templeton, a physi-cal therapist at Fort Sanders Therapy Center in downtown Knoxville.

Balance deficiencies have several causes, including ear problems, loss of sensation in the feet or legs and general muscle weakness. What many people don’t realize is that these issues can often be treated sat-isfactorily by a short course of physical therapy.

“We can work on these issues in physical therapy,” explains Templeton. “General inactivity is usually the biggest problem. It’s a vicious cycle. You’re scared to fall, so you don’t get up and walk around. But, when you sit all day, your muscles get weaker

because you’re not using them. When your muscles are weaker, you’re more likely to fall.”

Keeping in good physical shape can prevent future falls, no matter your age. “The best thing is to keep moving,” says Templeton. We have some ac-tive, older patients who move better than people who are 30 years younger.” For those who have been injured or are recov-ering from surgery, exercise can improve strength and balance.

Lack of sensation is an issue many people may not know they have. It’s a common side effect of diabetes. “If someone doesn’t have enough sensation in their feet, it affects his or her reaction time to obstacles,” explains Templeton. “We advise getting rid of throw rugs or power cords in walkways as the fi rst line of defense.”

Unsteady? Many balance problems are treatable

Because exercise can increase blood f low and sensation in the lower legs, it can improve bal-

ance. Supervised exercise can benefit most everyone Temple-ton says. Physical therapy ses-sions typically involve stretch-ing, walking, strength building and balance exercises. Physi-cal therapy requires a doctor’s referral, it’s typically covered by insurance and it generally involves two to three sessions per week for at least a month.

“A lot of balance problems impact your quality of life,” says Templeton. “Our goal is to improve a person’s ability to live their life, whether that means being able to do chores around the house, digging a garden or taking a trip.”

For further information about treating balance is-sues, call Fort Sanders Therapy Centers at (865) 541-1300.

‘They are really good. You almost look forward to going because they become like friends.’

– Kimberly Wilson, phyiscal therapy patient

But after only four months of physi-cal therapy at the Fort Sanders Ther-apy Center in downtown Knoxville, Wilson has learned to walk steadily again, regaining most of the balance she lost in the accident. She is doing so well she even went on a vacation trip to the beach recently and walked in the sand, on the instruction of her physical therapist, Jennifer Templeton.
