Heading back to

By Betty Bean Knox County’s law director is

taking a close look at school board chair Lynne Fugate’s declaring an emergency at the August meeting to allow a vote on Knox County Schools’ fi ve-year strategic plan.

“We’ve received a lot of ques-tions and complaints from the perspective of open-meetings laws and whether voting on a plan that doesn’t take effect until 2015 fi ts the defi nition of an emergency,” said David Buuck, chief deputy law director.

Fugate declared the emergency after a one-minute meeting of the board’s executive committee – Superintendent James McIntyre and herself – when Mike McMil-lan invoked personal privilege to postpone a vote for 30 days.

McMillan said he wanted four new board members (who will be sworn in Sept. 1) to have a say. Invoking personal privilege is an established school board practice, most recently used by board mem-ber Indya Kincannon to postpone a vote on a textbook-censorship is-sue in 2010.

“With almost half of the board going to be new members next month, do you not think they would like to have an opportunity to take a look at this plan? What would happen if we didn’t rush through it? Any penalties? Any fi nes? Would we lose any funds?” McMillan asked.

“This school board has worked on this part plan for most of a year. We’re about to start a new school year, and this is the time when people are planning. Hav-

ing our strategic plan in place would be very benefi cial …” Mc-Intyre said.

The strategic plan, titled “Deep-ening Our Work: Excellence for Every Child,” has been in the works for nearly a year, but the fi nal draft wasn’t released until July 31 – leaving scant time for in-terested citizens to study it, critics say. McMillan was responding to complaints that the present board members, four of whom are lame ducks, should not be setting policy for the new board.

The plan was approved unani-mously, but it wasn’t the only contentious matter at the August meeting. When asked whether all Knox County teachers had re-ceived minutes of meetings of the Teachers’ Advisory Group (which McIntyre formed in response to

teachers’ complaints last fall) in a timely manner, McIntyre said that all teachers had received all the minutes from all the meet-ings. Lauren Hopson, an advisory group member and a leader of the teachers who have been speak-ing out against KCS policies, ap-proached the lectern to address the board. She stood silently at the front of the room until a security guard approached and ordered her to return to her seat.

A few minutes later, McMillan asked Hopson returned to the lec-tern, and, struggling against tears, she warned the board that not ev-erything they were hearing was the truth. She told them that advi-sory board minutes had not been distributed in a timely manner t o KCS teachers, or even to board members.

Replacing KincannonKnox County Commission to select

interim board member

By Sandra ClarkTen people have applied for

County Commission’s appoint-ment to replace Indya Kincan-non on the school board and others may be waiting for the November election. Fountain City activist and former Town Hall president Jamie Rowe is lining up support, but opted not to seek the appointment.

Second District Commis-sioner Amy Broyles has coordi-nated applicants and says she “could not be more pleased with the diversity, depth and quality of all the candidates.”

The League of Women Voters and the Knox County Education Association will host a public forum at 6 p.m. Thursday, Aug.

14, at Gresham Middle School for residents of the second district. The forum will allow questions from the audience and 90-second responses. Each candidate will get a two-minute closing statement.

At 3 p.m. Monday, Aug. 18, following the regular work ses-sion at the City County Building, County Commission will inter-view applicants. The appoint-ment will be made on Monday, Aug. 25, at the commission’s regular meeting, which starts at 2 p.m. The appointee will serve until the winner of the Nov. 4 special election is certifi ed.

District 2 roughly encom-passes the Fulton and Central high school zones.

Bean gloats a bitLawyers aren’t supposed to

forum shop, but it happens. And there’s going to be a bunch of it after the new “Red-to-the-Roots” judges take the bench next month, particularly in Chancery Court, Division II.

HHS band parent Amanda Herrell checks out the spir-

it items with assistance from Don Dixon during the

band’s family night performance. Several new items

include a devil bobble head and “red hot” hot sauce.

The band is 122 members strong and, according to band

‘Rise Above’director Eric Baumgardner, is one of the best groups he’s had. Baumgardner says that the members have really clicked this year and enjoy the selections being used. This has made the experience fun from the start.

The show will have four movements which include music and visuals (fl ags, rifl es, large cubes) that have “married well.” The move-ments will deal with strug-gles of individuals, includ-ing facing fears, obstacles, taking a deep breath/stay-ing calm and taking control of the situation.

Band captains this year include Chloe Sharp (wood-winds), Caitlyn Bosscher (clarinet), Grant Goins (alto sax), Caiden Weber (tenor sax), Jonathan Collins (bass clarinet), Michaela Ellis and Heather Trivett (horns), Syd-ney Steele, Ryan Cox and Nick Piatt (trumpets), Tyler Mor-gan and Brooke Konas (low brass), Bryan Sharp (tuba), Kolt Haley (snare), Hunter Ricks (tenors), Kory Flatford (bass drum), Cathleen Capps, Mackenzie Herrell and Bailie Meighan (marimba), Schylar Hardin and Hannah Treece (guard captains).

“This started as a good-will gesture in 2008 as a way to show the staff that they were loved,” said Mill-er. The group has a basket set on the table and staff members can write down prayer requests, and they also have a drawing for door prizes.

During the year, the min-istry serves the staff at a fall luncheon, Valentine’s Day sweets buffet and spring

picnic. It hands out Bible promise books to interested seniors during the bacca-laureate service.

■ Lions get new offi cersNew offi cers for the

Fountain City Lions Club were sworn in at the last meeting, and the district governor, Ed Gibbons, was on hand to do the honors.

Offi cers for the upcoming year include Preston Ryan, lion tamer; Tim Johnson, tail twister; Nan Scott, sec-retary; Tom Dunne, trea-surer; vice presidents Ben Easterday and Dick McMil-lan, and president Travis Henderson.

The club meets each fi rst and third Monday in the Li-ons Club building at Foun-tain City Park.

Wendy O’Dell: From oil to ads

Shopper-News folks were sad to lose Brandi Davis,

who han-dled adver-tising sales in our base – Halls, F o u n t a i n City and U n i o n C o u n t y . B r a n d i b r o u g h t

high energy and a love for her community that’s hard to replace. We wish her all the best.

Wendy O’Dell was se-lected by sales manager Shannon Carey to fi ll this important role. She started last week and will be han-dling advertising for Union County, Halls, Fountain City, Gibbs and Corryton. O’Dell is a Corryton native who graduated from Gibbs High School and the Uni-versity of Tennessee.

Sandra Clark

She has 16 years of previ-ous sales experienc e includ-ing work for Shell Oil, and we’re delighted to have her join our team.

“I am excited to work for Shopper-News, which has been a staple of this commu-nity for years,” said O’Dell.

Contact O’Dell at 705-6416 or [email protected].

■ Congrats to the elec-tion winners and to those who ran but didn’t win. It takes courage to run for of-fi ce, and you’re all winners.

Wendy O’Dell

Flushed with successLast week in this column

we provided political can-didates some surefi re tips for getting elected, and our completely unbiased survey reveals that the winners fol-lowed them to a tee.

LarryVan

Guilder

The aftermath of victory can be as perplexing as de-feat, so today we offer ad-

vice on moving seamlessly from candidate to offi ce-holder.

First, be gracious. Taunt-ing the loser is bad form, un-less he ran under the banner of the Prohibition Party.

Like the Flat Earth Soci-ety and the “birthers,” those folks will never be tripped up by evidence. In the last presidential election the par-ty pulled in about 500 votes nationwide. Taunt away.

In your acceptance speech, thank your sup-porters, but avoid the Tim Tebow Syndrome.

College football fans are familiar with Tebow’s habit

of dropping to one knee for a quick prayer of gratitude after scoring a touchdown.

We have it on good au-thority that God is not a Florida fan, a Democrat or a Republican. Until Lane Kiffi n was hired, She sup-ported the Volunteers.

Next, proper attire, es-pecially at your swearing-in ceremony, is essential to your credibility, so avoid overdressing.

For example, although you may be feeling like a superhero after your win, do not wear a cape. The last politician to wear a cape in offi ce was President Wil-

liam Henry Harrison, who died 32 days into his term. Just saying.

You should also just say “no” to these fashion faux pas: tights, leotards, plaid Bermuda shorts, T-shirts that read “I’m With Stupid,” stovepipe hats, chaps and beanies.

You spent thousands on campaign mailings, but it’s just as important to send out a professional thank-you note now that you’ve vanquished what’s his name at the polls.

Use caution. It’s common for the brain to short circuit when writing political mes-sages.

A few horrifying real-life examples illustrate what can go wrong: “Get a Brain!

Morans” (sign seen at a po-litical rally); “Respect Are-Country Speak English” (sign held aloft by a Texan who likes hyphens); and “No Amnety” (in fairness, we also oppose amnety).

Finally, there’s “Custom-er Parking Only – All Oth- ers Will Be Toad,” which has nothing to do with politics but certainly makes you feel jumpy.

Now that you’re part of the political elite, it’s time to cash in on the opportuni-ties you’ve earned with your dazzling triumph.

Suppose that in the months leading up to your campaign you had devised a method for reducing resi-dential water usage to a lev-el desert-dwelling Bedouins

would envy. Time to cash in.Imagine what a water-

starved state like California would give for your inven-tion. Everyone from Arnold Schwarzenegger to JackNicholson would be clam-oring to endorse your pat-ented “Trickle Down Toilet.”

NASA would be among the fi rst government agen-cies to license your tech-nology. The Trickle Down would accompany astro-nauts on the fi rst manned mission to Mars.

Before long your bank ac-count overfl ows with royal-ties.

Flushed with success, you aim for the top. If you can send a toilet to Mars, there’s a seat waiting for you in the Oval Offi ce.

Red to the roots:Lawyers aren’t supposed

to forum shop, but it hap-pens. And there’s going to be a bunch of it after the new “Red-to-the-Roots” judges take the bench next month, particularly in Chancery Court, Division II.

Standard procedure is for law fi rms to send runners down to the courthouse to hang out in the various clerks’ offi ces schmoozing and biding time so they can make sure the right judge hears their lawsuits. Chan-cery Court, where cases are heard without the benefi t of juries, has in recent years been blessed with three astute, fair-minded chan-cellors, so forum shopping hasn’t been much of an issue there (other than a plethora of divorce cases fi led by law-yers seeking to escape the clutches of 4th Circuit Judge Bill Swann).

But after last week’s elec-tion, lawyers all over town with cases fi led in Chan-cellor Daryl Fansler’s court are thinking of ways to get the heck out of Division II

Predictions, excuses and eating crow

before the stupefyingly un-qualifi ed Clarence “Eddie” Pridemore (described last week on this page as a guy who practices law out of a car with Kentucky license tags) takes the bench. And the stay-the-hell-out-of-that-guy’s-court movement isn’t confi ned to Democrats. It’s totally bipartisan. Re-publican attorneys are as aghast as Democrats that Pridemore got elected sim-ply because of the R after his name.

They’re going to have to buy more chairs in the Clerk and Master’s offi ce for all the forum shoppers trying to avoid Division II.

Another race I got wrong was the 1st District school board contest between in-cumbent Gloria Deathridge and Marshall Walker. I pre-

dicted a Walker win because his campaign clearly gained energy after the tireless Di-ane Jordan came aboard. But it wasn’t enough, and on election night, knowledge-able sources described the race as a contest between the “haves” and the “have-nots” of her district, with the difference being that “have-nots” rarely turn out to vote in non-presidential-election years.

The most important races I got right were the re-election efforts of Rep. Steve Hall and Sen. Sta-cey Campfi eld. I predicted they’d both lose, and they did. In addition to being al-lies on the far-right fringes of the GOP (they were Tea Party before the Tea Party was invented), Hall and Campfi eld are close friends and tireless campaigners

who have lent each other a hand in past contests. This year, they couldn’t do that because they were each fi ghting for their political lives against the toughest opposition ever.

Look for the issue of abortion to fi gure into the 13th House District race between Democrat Gloria Johnson and Republican Eddie Smith, who was re-cruited by state Rep. Bill Dunn. The vehicle for this will be Amendment I, which will give the legislature the right to outlaw abor-tion, even in cases of rape, incest or to save the life of the mother, if the U.S. Su-preme Court overturns Roe v. Wade.

And fi nally, come Sept. 1, there will be no De mocrat holding countywide elective offi ce in Knox County.

VictorAshe

In the next three weeks leading up to Sept. 1, the state Supreme Court must meet and select the next state Attorney General for an eight-year term to 2022.

It is likely current AG Bob Cooper will not be picked for a second term. He was former Gov. Bredesen’s choice, which the prior Su-preme Court honored. Gov. Haslam has worked well with him, but it is now a new day, even with the current court continuing, and there will be a Republican Attor-ney General.

Sources suggest it could be William “Bill” Young, who is the administrative offi cer of the Tennessee Courts, selected by the cur-rent Supreme Court. He is

a Williamson County Re-publican who previously worked for BlueCross. How-ever, there are now reports he may have donated to the Ron Ramsey PAC that fund-ed the campaign against the three justices recently retained. If true, that might deep-six his aspirations to be AG.

Two state senators are also being mentioned. They are Majority Leader Mark Norris from West Tennes-see and Doug Overbey from Maryville, who actively sup-ported the three re-elected justices. Overbey is a highly respected lawmaker who handles complicated legis-lation.

A third name is Knoxville attorney Herb Slatery, who is

The scrum for state AG

Gov. Haslam’s legal counsel. Haslam worked behind the scenes for the three incum-bent jurists who prevailed.

It is unclear how the court will make this selec-tion, as it has not been done for eight years. Will they hold a public hearing to in-terview prospects? How will they check out the back-ground of the applicants? Justice Lee pledged a trans-parent process, and there is no reason to doubt her. She

is known to favor a new at-torney general. Will the de-cision be made in a public meeting with each justice voting and explaining their decision? No one knows.

■ Rick Briggs, Repub-lican state Senate nominee, still serves on Knox Coun-ty Commission. If elected over Democrat Cheri Siler in November he must re-sign his commission seat, which means the voters of his district will be denied a vote on his successor until 2016. However, should he resign now or before Sept. 4, the remaining two years in his term would be fi lled this November 2014 by the voters since there are more than 60 days to the next state election.

Briggs has not said if he will resign now or hold on to the seat until November, thereby enabling the com-mission to fi ll the seat. Not one of the 10 remaining commissioners lives in the Briggs district, so no voter would have a voice in choos-ing the person who would represent them for two years if Briggs fails to resign this month.

■ Democrats will now work to elect Gloria John-son over Republican Eddie Smith. Given the GOP land-slide in the judicial races, including the election of some less qualifi ed candi-dates, Johnson is at risk in a November GOP sweep.

■ Congratulations to Nathaniel Allen on becom-ing deputy police chief at the formal installation cer-emony tomorrow, Aug. 14, at 4 p.m. at the Civic Audi-

torium Ballroom. The pub-lic is invited. He is the fi rst African-American to hold this position.

■ Martin Daniel, in beating state Rep. Steve Hall, became the fi rst per-son to defeat an incumbent House member in Knox County in their party pri-mary in 20 years. Next week, I will go into detail on how Daniel pulled off this amazing upset.

■ Eddie Smith beat-ing Jason Emert by 30 votes is a case of hard work and less than $20,000 beat-ing a candidate who spent over $100,000 to win 2,300 votes. This too was an upset.

■ Bill Owen, longtimeDemocratic activist, lost by a wide margin to former county commissioner Mark Harmon for a seat on the Democratic State Executive Committee.

50 years since Doug Dickey debut

Marvin West

If memory and the calen-dar are correct, we are ap-proaching the 50th anniver-sary of Doug Dickey’s fi rst team at Tennessee. Time for a reunion?

Think about it – 50 years since the conversion from single wing to T forma-tion, and the Volunteers are again looking for a quarter-back.

What’s going on now is nothing like what happened then. Butch Jones has choic-es. Dickey had to create his. He looked everywhere for a quarterback, even in the team dining hall. There he found David Leake, a wait-er. He became a pleasant surprise.

Dickey was a pleasant surprise, too. So was the

1964 team – until the last three weeks of November.

Douglas Adair Dickey made the unlikely leap from a walk-on at Florida to the College Hall of Fame. Come to think of it, there were several unlikely leaps. Ten-nessee was twice the high-light of his career.

Dickey, once ninth-string among Gator quarterbacks, was perceived as a coach on the fi eld when he fi nally got on the fi eld. Old Vol

Bob Woodruff, the offi cial Florida coach at the time, thought the lad was very smart.

Doug Dickey was 31, an obscure assistant at Arkan-sas, when Woodruff won the tug of war, became Ten-nessee athletic director and immediately placed a call to Fayetteville.

Woodruff realized the idea of bringing in an ab-solute beginner needed support. He asked trustee Tom Elam for his stamp of approval. The old lawyer asked Dickey to explain the switch from one kind of of-fense to another.

Dickey’s response was classic: “It is not too com-plicated. You take out the blocking back and put in

a quarterback and go on about the business of play-ing football.”

Dickey inherited a de-fense. Middle guard Steve DeLong and linebacker Frank Emanuel made it into the Hall of Fame ahead of the coach. Linebacker Tom Fisher would have been an all-American if he had lived longer. Joe Graham and Carl Ellis were scrappy tackles. Bob Petrella was an excellent safety. Ron Widby punted away many prob-lems.

Offensive Vols didn’t ac-complish great things, but they tried very hard. Hal Wantland was the stuff of legends. Paul Naumoff, then a split end, eventu-ally gained fame as an NFL

linebacker.Wantland, splendid

blocker and better captain, was the original quarter-back. Art Galiffa eventually won the job. Leake quarter-backed the upset victory at Georgia Tech.

The Vol defense gets credit for the biggest play of 1964, a moment of truth against undefeated LSU in Baton Rouge. DeLong led the charge that stopped Ti-ger star Rusty Schwab eight or nine inches short of the goal and preserved a stun-ning 3-3 deadlock.

Dickey said that triumph, oops, tie was “a giant step forward.” It gave the Vols a reason to believe.

The spirit endured but bodies faltered late in the season. Ole Miss romped, 30-0, in Knoxville. The Vols also lost to Kentucky and Vanderbilt.

Fifty years ago was the beginning of great things to come. Dickey exceeded expectations. His six-year record was 46-15-4. He beat Alabama three in a row. Alas, he opted out. Going back to Florida didn’t work out exactly as planned, but in a really strange circle drill, all was forgiven and he returned to Tennessee as replacement for the retiring Woodruff.

Dickey’s charming per-sonality irritated some, but he was a winner as coach and athletic director. He raised money, improved fa-cilities and skillfully navi-gated NCAA storms.

Dickey made sense. If you are keeping score, he made Tennessee better. Hir-ing basketball coaches was not his specialty.Marvin West invites reader reaction. His address is [email protected]/.

The rain crowSome of the best memo-

ries of summer are the sounds. Who isn’t instantly carried back by the sound of an ice cream truck? Some folks recollect summer memories brought back by fi reworks, parades or thun-derstorms. For me, it’s na-ture’s outdoor sounds – the early-morning chorus of the birds, the lazy afternoon sawing of the jar fl ies, the nighttime singing of a thou-sand katydids.

It’s defi nitely not spring, but a surprising number of birds are still here, singing their August songs. One bird in particular is known for its habit of singing on a hot, humid summer day, es-pecially if there is some like-lihood of a shower of rain.

Way back in the middle of the last century, my Granny Collier pointed out the mys-terious kow kow kow kow of the rain crow to me, com-ing from somewhere in the

Dr. Bob Collier

dense green leaves, and she evidenced little doubt that the bird’s prediction of an approaching rain shower would be correct. It was a strange and haunting sound, something a person would store away and re-member the next time it was heard.

Looking back, I wonder now why I didn’t try to see the bird. We just accepted that sound as a normal part of nature, knew what it was coming from, and, of course, expected it to rain. The rain crow has always been a favorite, partly be-cause of nostalgia, I’m sure, but also because they’re just

plain interesting.The rain crow’s prop-

er name is yellow-billed cuckoo. They belong to a big family that includes the bird of cuckoo-clock fame, the Europe- and Asia-dwelling common cuckoo. Then there’s their weird cousin, the roadrunner of our Southwest, famous for its exploits with the hapless Wyle E. Coyote.

We have three cuckoos in North America. The yellow-billed cuckoo summers in most of the eastern part of the U.S., the black-billed ditto but with a little more northern tendency, on into southern Canada. And the mangrove cuckoo, a Carib-bean bird, is found only in the Keys and southern coast of Florida. Though their songs are different enough to be distinguish-able, they’re very similar in appearance. A look at your favorite fi eld guide will show you what I mean by “similar.” It takes a bit of study, but they can certainly be told apart as long as a

person can get a decent look at one. You are much more likely to see a yellow-billed cuckoo here in our location.

I spoke of getting a de-cent look at a rain crow – that’s not an easy task.

Patience and luck are helpful. Cuckoos appear to be lanky, slithery birds that usually fl y short distances from one dense cover to another and then become invisible in their new tree. They tend to forage by sit-ting quietly and waiting for a food item to give itself away by moving just a tiny bit. Once you spot where a cuckoo is in a tree and watch for a while, you will see it moving slowly along, looking for food but all the while keeping leaves and branches between itself and you, with only a single eye-ball or tip of tail visible to the frustrated birder.

Our cuckoos also nest in thick cover, in a loose plat-form of twigs lined with grass and leaves. How many eggs they lay depends on how much food is available

to them. They like large in-sects like cicadas and katy-dids and are one of the few birds that will eat tent cat-erpillars. If the right food is abundant the cuckoos tend to produce more eggs than they care to look after, and so lay a few in another cuck-oo’s nest, or even leave a few in a robin’s or catbird’s nest. Such behavior is the norm for the European cuckoos; they lay their eggs only in other birds’ nests, like our cowbirds.

Like a primitive South American bird called the hoatzin, young cuckoos leave their nest at about sev-en to nine days after hatch-ing, before they can fl y.

They spend the next couple of weeks clambering around the shrubbery, ex-ploring their surroundings, still being fed by their obvi-ously patient parents.

We don’t hear the song of the yellow-billed cuckoo nearly as often as we used to. The experts tell us they have declined in numbers by 1.6 percent per year over

the past 30 years, a loss greater than 50 percent. But in British Columbia, Wash-ington and Oregon, the de-cline has been a dreary 4.6 percent per year.

Doing the math, we see they’re out past zero there.

The western cuckoos are what the biologists term “ex-tirpated,” meaning “gone.” That’s mainly due to the loss of their favorite nesting sites – cottonwood and wil-low thickets along streams. Dams, development and irre-sponsible grazing have added up to no habitat, and no more yellow-billed cuckoos.

Our eastern yellow-billed cuckoos are not quite as picky about their nesting re-quirements.

Although in decline, the rain crows are hanging on. I heard the song and then saw a pair of cuckoos in Union County in mid-July, appar-ently nesting. I wish them well.

Hearing that song makes me smile just as much as the music of the ice cream truck.

It was a beautiful night for baseball when the Tennessee Smokies eked out a win over the Pensacola Blue Wahoos. The game had been tied 1-1 and was in the bottom of the 10th inning when Smok-ies third baseman Christian Villanueva delivered an RBI single for the win.

At the ol’ ball game

Pint-sized Darth Vad-ers, storm troopers and Princess Leias were ev-erywhere for “Star Wars” night at Smokies Stadium. The kids had lots of fun be-tween innings with games and contests including a “Star Wars” trivia match, a sack race and a bouncy-ball race.

You will do well to be attentive to this as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.

(II Peter 1: 19b NRSV)

Nor nard, nor mother of pearl has skin so fi ne.(Federico Garcia Lorca)

Love letters from God

I am not a morning per-son. I am not grumpy; I just wake up gradually.

In college days, I was a member of the UT Singers, and we (all forty of us!) had occasion to spend a night in Memphis, in a bomb shelter built by a rich, eccentric UT alum. In a bit of Ozymandi-an irony, he had died of old age, not a nuclear attack, but his daughter allowed us to use the shelter during our stay. Our tour director had described the place as “Spartan, but adequate,” which turned out to be his notion of a joke. The shel-ter was elegant, up-to-date, comfortable, and stocked with food, televisions, ham radio equipment, a pool table, and separate quarters for men and women.

We arrived exhausted after a long day which in-cluded four concerts, and fell into our bunk beds. At some obscene hour (seem-ingly just a few minutes af-ter my head hit the pillow) an alarm clock went off, and one of the girls sat up in her bunk bed and said cheer-ily, “This is the day which the Lord hath made; let us rejoice and be glad in it!” (Which, in case you’re won-dering, is Psalm 118:24.)

If I could have gotten to one of the guns in that mo-ment ….

The other morning, I stumbled into the kitchen, as usual, to start the coffee. I glanced out the window, and there was, quite simply, a miracle.

The sun was rising, but still out of sight. The clouds had snagged the glow, how-ever, and the sky looked like the mother of pearl on the inside of a seashell: pink and blue and lavender and gold. I stood staring, lost in wonder, pondering whether to go fi nd my camera and risk missing the moment. I decided to stay right there and savor the gift that had been offered to me.

One of my friends calls such occasions “God mo-ments.” She is right, I think. My question, however, is this: What is God up to in those “God moments?”

Is God simply giving us a gift of beauty, sort of like a Christmas card? Is God wooing us like a lover? Is God trying to get our atten-tion to relay an important message? A call to duty?

Whatever God was up to, it was a blessing to me. I walked around all day in the afterglow of that moment. I’m sure that others saw that glorious sunrise, too, but I still claim it as mine, a gift from a generous, loving God, who (like the bower bird I have mentioned be-fore in this space) brings us gifts every day.

Even Jeremiah, in his Lamentations, admitted that the Lord’s mercies are “new every morning” and “great is your faithfulness.” (Lamentations 3: 23)

So, after that one amaz-ing sunrise, I look for a repeat performance every morning. Not that I see a spectacular sunrise ev-ery day, but I “lift up mine eyes,” expecting wonders.

And I have discovered a wondrous thing: when I look for little miracles, I fi nd them!

It seems that you fi nd what you look for. Look for evil, you will fi nd it. Look for grace, it will be there. Look for hope, happiness, wonder, miracles, or joy, you will fi nd them, or perhaps more accurately, they will fi nd you!

Be alert to the wonders God does every day. Those wonders are love letters from God.

Knox County Mayor Tim B u r c h e t t will turn 50 this month, and he’s planning a party at the Ben Atchley State Veter-ans Home. The public is invited from

1 to 4 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 17.

Burchett has lined up a cookout, provided by Sam’s Club, and live music by David West and the Ci-derville Music gang. He’s serious about community members attending. And he’s asking for gift cards of any amount from Red Lobster, Shoney’s, Cracker Barrel or Hooters restau-rant. Administrators at the veterans’ home say these

are many of the residents’ favorite places to eat, and the gift cards will ensure that they are able to con-tinue enjoying meals out-side the facility.

Attendees are also wel-come to bring Visa/Mas-terCard gift cards or cards to either Sam’s Club or Walmart for use on shop-ping trips and other activi-ties for the residents.

unique birthday bash

By Cindy TaylorRandom Acts of Chris-

tian Kindness (RACK) is just a cool-sounding phrase to some people. Members of Clear Springs Baptist Church take those words to heart. They have even print-ed postcards to refl ect how seriously they feel about this ministry.

On the Saturday be-fore school started in Knox County church members held their 5th annual back-pack and school supply give-away. Church volunteers did not raise money or ask the community to help make purchases for the day. In-stead, they dug into their own pockets to provide free

backpacks to the 160 chil-dren who attended along with school supplies to fi ll them. And there were no strings attached.

“This is such a blessing and will help us tremen-dously,” said one parent. “We don’t attend church here but they didn’t care about that.”

Clear Springs Baptist Church will host its annual Trunk or Treat on Oct. 25. The current church address is 8518 Thompson School Road, and a new sanctu-ary is under construction at Harbison’s Crossroads. Info: 688-7674 or online at www.clearspringsbaptist.net/.

Butcher Cemetery is one of the oldest cemeteries in Union County and is located on property owned by the Mohlar [another spelling Moulder] family in the late 1700s.

The GPS reading is 36.16.50N 83.07W [10], and the cemetery is located on Butcher Hollow Road.

The property was in-herited through Valentine Mohlar’s wife, Lavina, from Jesse Alec Butcher Sr. who deeded one acre to the com-munity for a public burial ground on July 4, 1885. Lat-er a second acre was added by a former slave, Samuel Smith, T. C. Cox and San-ford Myers. There are 277 marked graves in this cem-etery.

In cataloging the Civil War soldiers in this cem-etery, Gay and Jim Morton and Philip Graves found these soldiers of interest:

Richard Lee Tharpe (1850-1896). Richard is the son of Edward E. Tharpe and Ann Jane Willis, who were married in 1846 in Grainger County. Richard Lee’s father died when he

Richard Lee Tharpe

Civil War soldiers buried in Butcher Cemetery

was 12 years old and at age 14 Richard Lee entered the service of the United States as a private in Company M, 96th Regiment of the Ten-nessee Cavalry Volunteers.

He married Nancy Ade-lie Butcher, daughter of Jesse Alec Butcher and Levina Mohlar Butcher in 1870. Children of Rich-ard Lee and Nancy Adelie Butcher Tharpe: William E., Detester T., Richard Lee Jr., Robert, John, Bertha, Myrtle, James B. and Abra-ham H. This family lived in the Crooked Creek area of Union County.

Joseph Evans, who is buried in Butcher Cemetery, was in the 6 Tn. Inf. Co. E. He enlisted March 6, 1862, at Williamsburg, Kentucky, and served under Col. Aus-mus. He is also found in the 1890 Federal Census for sol-

diers. He mustered out on April 27, 1865, and he is also listed on the Union County Cemeteries Association (UCCA) website on the Civil War page.

Joseph Evans married Elizabeth Butcher. His younger brother, John Hol-bert Evans, is buried near-by. We have not been able to document Civil War ser-vice; however, some believe he died while serving the Union in Kentucky. If any-one can provide more in-formation concerning John

Holbert Evans’ military ser-vice, please let me know.

Among those being re-searched are the Frost boys of Luttrell:

Steven Frost Jr., Co. D., 2nd TN Cavalry Confed-erate Army. The 1860 Union County Census lists Steven Frost Jr., as a distiller.

Sgt. Calvin Frost, Co. E., 2nd TN Cavalry Confed-erate Army; he also served in Company F, 11th Ohio Cavalry on the Overland Trail. He and John Franklin Frost were two of more than 100 CSA POWs to enlist in the 11th Ohio Cavalry to escape Camp Chase prison camp. They had previously served in 1st Tennessee Cav-alry (CSA).

John Franklin Frostenlisted in the 1st TN Cav-alry, Co. I; but re-enlisted in Co. F., 11th Ohio Cavalry Union Army, as did Calvin. Union County Deed Book C, p.116.

Folks of all ages have stopped by the Knoxville Zoo this summer to par-take of ice cream, to enjoy the splash pad and to watch the penguins slip and slide on the rocks by their water-ing hole. Come Aug. 16, the zoo’s residents will welcome a different kind of party in the name of fundraising.

Feast with the Beasts will celebrate its 20th an-niversary 7-11 p.m. Satur-day, Aug. 16, with almost 40 restaurants dishing out samples of their best reci-pes. Folks 21 and over are invited.

Classic rock, alterna-tive rock and island-home music will be performed by The Vibraslaps, The Analog Kids and Jim Asbell and the Tropiholics, respectively. Admission covers all food, beverages and entertain-ment.

“We have a long tradition of hosting the biggest, most interesting food and drink tasting event in Knoxville, and our 20th year of Feast with the Beasts is shaping up to be our best ever,” said Lisa New, executive director of the zoo. “Everyone looks forward to this event: our staff, our participating res-taurants and beverage pro-viders and especially our guests. By attending Feast with the Beasts, guests are helping us care for our ani-mals as well as supporting our amazing conservation and education work. A great time for a great cause. It’s always good to be at the top of the food chain, and Aug. 16th is a day to celebrate it!”

tain-area musicians, will go on stage for a square dance af-ter the regular performances.

At the mic is Stan Sharp. He has Union County roots: His great-grandfather, Mill-er Sharp, was displaced out of what is now Chuck Swan Wildlife Management Area in Sharps Chapel.

“Sow the wheat and mow the clover, do it again, then do it all over,” he chanted at a recent square dance in Knoxville.

The bandleader, Ken Bronson, is a contractor based in Corryton, and Lar-ry Holt, a fi ddler, is a retired Corryton farmer. Darryl Acuff, also from Corryton, says he’ll be playing with them. Acuff and Kelly Shipe are organizing the event.

The music starts at 2 p.m. Tickets are $8 in advance and $10 day of show. The church is at 2241 Washington Pike.

Details can be found at the House Mountain Hoe-down Facebook page, where you’ll fi nd video clips of all of the performers. For advance tickets, call Kelly Shipe at 219-8303 or post to their page.

A very good July for real estate markets

News From The Register Of Deeds

By Sherry WittThe month of July was

a produc-tive one for prop-erty sales around the county, and it was actu-ally the fi rst time in sev-eral months that activity

surpassed that of the same period in 2013. For the month that ended July 31, there were 1,065 property transfers recorded in Knox County. By comparison, July 2013 produced 1,010 transfers.

Fueled by some sizeable commercial transactions, the total value of prop-erty sold in July was also up from last year. Around $292 million worth of real property was transferred in Knox County, surpassing last July’s fi gure of $248.5 million. That puts total land sales here at almost $1.3 bil-lion so far in 2014.

Building off a June surge, when more than $300 mil-lion was loaned in mort-

gages and refi nances for the fi rst time this year, July pro-duced an even better month in lending, with $347 mil-lion being borrowed against real estate in Knox County. This was nearly identical to the $349 million loaned last July. The fi rst two quarters of 2014 had seen a sub-stantial decrease in mort-gage lending compared to last year, but the past two months have closed the gap considerably.

There were two signifi -cant commercial property transactions in July. One in-volved the Sunchase apart-ment complex on Cedar Bluff Road, which sold for $26 million. Also of note was the sale of the Down-town Hilton on Church Av-enue, which brought a price of just over $25 million.

I want to thank everyone who voted in the county and state elections last week. Regardless of your affi liation or choice of can-didates, your participation in this important process is greatly appreciated by those of us who serve in public offi ce.

bers will fi nd a motivated group that has grown each month. Having an opportu-nity to introduce new busi-nesses to the area is impor-tant to Sterling. Existing businesses are also given the opportunity to inform members what their busi-ness offer. Sterling is also reaching out to other Busi-ness and Professional Asso-ciations in East and North Knoxville. He plans to get the three BPAs together an-nually for members to meet and share ideas.

The ETABPA meets at 8 a.m. each fi rst Wednesday at New Harvest Park Com-munity Center. Sterling in-vites business owners and managers as well as civic leaders and community members to attend.

■ Bruce Hayes shares tipsBruce Hayes, senior busi-

ness specialist with the Ten-nessee Small Business De-velopment Centers, spoke to the East Towne Area Busi-ness and Professional Asso-ciation in August. Informa-tive tips included inbound and outbound marketing, the evolution of websites and marketing strategy.

Mike Davis, State Farm

It has been only one month since Justin Sterling accepted the presidency of the East Towne Area Busi-ness and Professional As-

s o c i a t i o n . The smooth t r a n s i t ion speaks vol-umes for the leader-ship of the group and the tight bond many of the mem-

bers have formed.This business alliance

has achieved much in a short time. Sterling knows there is strength in num-bers and wants to take this motivated group to the next level. He wants a true sup-port group for area busi-nesses.

“Building a strong lead-ership team is critical, and right now that responsibili-ty is mine,” says Sterling. He plans to invite speakers who will bring relevant content to the members. “If our mis-sion is limited to monthly business pep talks we would be doing ourselves a huge disservice.”

Sterling has lived in Tennessee since 2000 and moved to Dandridge in

Sterling has big plans for ETABPA

2012. He has developed an understanding of how im-portant the sense of com-munity is to the folks in northeast Knoxville. Build-ing permits for new homes show a surge in housing around the East Towne area with many of the homes in the $250,000 price range. People in the area have a good understanding of what they want and need.

Working closely with civic and neighborhood leaders, Sterling wants to achieve three goals. First, he wants additional signage on I-640 to direct people to this growing area. Many people traveling through the area aren’t even aware of the shopping district. Second, he wants to im-prove visibility by keep-ing the brush cut back. His long-term goal is to have the exits from I-640 redesigned so there are multiple oppor-tunities to access this area.

Current and new mem-

agent, was elected vice president. Davis provided

b r e a k f a s t for the group. He has been i n s t r u -mental in the group’s g r o w t h since the beginning.

C i t y Council member Nick Della Volpe was excited to share a progress report on obtain-ing additional signage for the exits off of I-640. He asked the members to con-tact City Council members to express their approval of the idea.

■ South Knoxville Alliance to meetThe South Knoxville Alli-

ance will meet at 6:30 p.m. Monday, Aug. 18, at the La-bor Exchange offi ce, 2623 Chapman Highway. All members are encouraged to attend, and prospective members are welcomed.

Final plans for the fi rst “Saturday South” will be discussed. This exciting event will be held on Sept. 13 at Ijams Nature Center. Anyone interested in setting up a booth should fi ll out the application at: ht t p://k tow nsout h.org/SaturdaySouth_Vendor or email [email protected] for additional information.

NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center is the only

facility in our region to hold a Comprehensive

Commission, as well as multiple CARF*

Accreditations for stroke rehabilitation.

Comprehensive stroke care ~ from diagnosis to

treatment to rehabiliation.

That’s Regional Excellence!

COMPREHENSIVE STROKE CENTER: FORT SANDERS REGIONAL

East Tennessee woman ‘still Nana’ after strokeIn January 2014, Deborah

Grantham of Jones Cove, Tenn., 59, woke up with what she feared were the symptoms of a stroke.

“I got up that morning and my left arm felt like it was asleep, numb, it just didn’t feel right,” said Grantham. “My daughter kept call-ing me, checking on me. She kept asking, ‘Do you think you’re hav-ing a stroke?’ I said, ‘I don’t know, but I’m getting a little scared.’ ”

Grantham did not want to go to the hospital, but her daughter took her anyway. They arrived at the emergency department of LeCon-te Medical Center in Sevierville, where physicians confi rmed she had indeed had a stroke.

“I didn’t want to go to inten-sive care,” said Grantham. “First, I don’t have insurance, and I also didn’t want to be away from my grandchildren. My grandson is on the autistic spectrum, and I knew he was going to be hard to handle. I’ve never been too far from him.”

But a stroke is a serious medical event. And after a week in the hos-pital, Grantham learned she would need even more intensive physical, occupational and speech therapy at a rehabilitation center.

“They asked me if I would be interested in going to the Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center if I had

Stroke Belt keeps Knoxville doctor busyAsk Dr. Keith Woodward what life is like

in the Stroke Belt, and he’ll give you a one-word answer: “Busy!”

It’s no wonder – in 2012, Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center’s Comprehen-sive Stroke Center treated 455 patients for stroke. In 2013, it averaged 35 to 40 strokes per month. Woodward’s department treats about 100 of those patients per year.

“Those are very high numbers,” Wood-ward said. “We are in the buckle of the Stroke Belt, and stroke volumes are high here. Of course, this is much higher than all other facilities due to Fort Sanders’ compre-hensive stroke center certifi cation and the Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center being here.”

Too, the risk factors for stroke – high blood pressure, smoking, sedentary lifestyle and the Southern diet of “fried everything” – are all higher here.

When Woodward came to Knoxville, no one could perform procedures inside the arteries of the brain. He was particularly concerned when a local high school foot-ball player collapsed with a stroke and had to be sent to Asheville, N.C., because that was where the closest doctor was that could treat those disorders.

“I decided to go back and complete additional training to perform these procedures in the brain,” Woodward said. When he returned in 2005, patients no longer needed to travel to get the best stroke care.

Now at Fort Sanders Re-gional for a decade, he is cur-rently chairman of its Acute Stroke Team and Medical Di-rector of the Neurovascular Research Center of East Ten-nessee. Woodward is board-certifi ed by the American Board of Radiology and has the Certifi cate of Added Qualifi ca-tion in Interventional Radiology.

Strokes are now the fourth-leading cause of death in the United States. Strokes occur when blood fl ow to the brain is disrupted. Disruption in blood fl ow is caused when either a blood clot blocks one of the vital blood vessels in the brain (isch-emic stroke) or when a blood vessel in the brain bursts, spilling blood into surround-ing tissues (hemorrhagic stroke). Ischemic strokes account for 87 percent of all strokes.

In many cases, Woodward treats those patients with a procedure known as me-chanical embolectomy.

“We place a needle in the artery in the groin and advance a catheter using X-rays as a guide, until the catheter reaches the neck,” Woodward says. “Then, we advance a smaller catheter into the brain to the clot. A pump is then attached, and the clot is sucked out of the artery.”

The procedure has come along way over the years.

“The tools are so much better – six-hour proceduresto remove clots have been re-duced to now commonly less than 30 minutes,” Wood-ward says, adding speed isvitally important when treat-ing strokes. That is because the longer the clot remains,the longer the brain is with-out blood and oxygen. As aresult, the cells in the affect-ed area begin to die, affecting whatever functions that areacontrolled.

“More often than not,stroke damage is permanent,” says Wood-ward. “However, it almost always improvesover the fi rst six months after a stroke. Re-hab is the key during that period to help thebrain recover.”

Busy though they may be, Woodward says his days are not without their re-wards. One of those, he said, is when “Ican see a person unable to walk or talk,and 24 hours later, they can go home fromthe hospital.”

The early symptoms of

stroke are often overlooked

or ignored. If you suspect

that you or a loved one is

having a stroke, think FAST:

F – FACE: Look at your face. Is one side sagging?

A – ARMS: Hold out your arms. Is one arm lower than the

other or harder to hold in place?

S – SPEECH: Is your speech slurred or garbled?

T – TIME: Time is critical when trying to minimize the eff ects

of stroke.

Call 911 and get to a hospital

as quickly as possible. And be sure

your hospital is a stroke-ready,

a scholarship,” she said. “I was very interested because I knew how good they were. My husband, Bill, was there seven years ago, when he had his left leg amputated below the knee. They helped him so much.”

The Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center offers some scholarships for patients without insurance, provided by private donations and funds from the annual Patricia Neal Golf Classic.

So Grantham spent another week away from her family, work-ing to regain the use of her left arm. She followed up with four months of outpatient visits as well. The results have been dramatic, she said.

“They helped me learn how to do a lot of things for myself, like how to take my bath. At fi rst I couldn’t use my hand at all. But since I’ve been in therapy, I got back a good bit of use of my hand. It’s not perfect, and it’s going to take some time, but it’s so much better than it was.”

Grantham said she has focused

on doing household tasks. “I have learned to use the elec-

tric can opener; I have made mybed. I am folding clothes, but that is still a hard job. They’re not per-fect but they’re folded! I sweepmy fl oors, wash my dishes, I havemopped my fl oor – that’s noteasy.”

Grantham said the staff atPNRC tries to make therapy fun.

“You work hard, but you don’thave time to feel sorry for yourself because you’re so busy! We played games that were good for yourbrain, but you don’t think about what it’s doing for you,” she said.

“The Patricia Neal staff was wonderful to me, and I would rec-ommend them to anybody. I hadexcellent care. All the nurses camewhen I needed help. They werewonderful,” Grantham said.

Today she is back at home with her husband and enjoying her 12grandchildren who live nearby.

“My 4-year-old granddaughter says, ‘Nana, let me hold your handyou had a stroke in.’ They don’tthink any different, I’m still Nana.”

Dr. Keith Woodward says advances in stroke treat-

ment have drastically reduced the time it takes

to remove clots, often minimizing damage to the

brain.”

Deborah Grantham works with occupational therapist Tom Johnson on

strengthening her hand while grasping and releasing objects. Grantham suf-

fered a stroke in January and has made great strides in therapy at Patricia Neal

Rehabilitation Center.

Luttrell Music Festival are coming together, according to event organizer Mayme Taylor.

“We’re really excited to get Darrell Webb this year,” she says of the Grammy-nominated performer, who is scheduled to go onstage at 1 p.m.

Webb is a guitarist, mandolin player, song-writer and vocalist, and he has worked with JD Crowe & the New South, and the Lonesome River Band, among many others. He re-placed Dan Tyminski when Dan left LRB.

Webb also has appeared on a couple of Dolly Par-ton’s albums, and played in the bluegrass band Wildfi re with Phil Leadbetter, Rob-ert Hale, Curt Chapman and Carry Crabtree.

“Tim Lovelace has agreed to return, and Mel-ba Greene, Phil Burnette and Wayne Burnette.”

Also on the bill is Jerry Cole from Sharps Chapel.

“Jerry Cole Jr. is prob-ably one of the best blue-grass singers in the South,” says James Perry, local mu-sicologist and radio person-ality.

David West of Ciderville will bring his entourage, including the Chicken Man.

A Kids Music Competi-tion is open to all children 18 and under. Perry is scheduling the show and can be reached at 865-742-6523 or [email protected].

The entertainment schedule is:

10 a.m. - Opening cer-emony

10:30 a.m. - Phil Bur-nette

11:30 a.m. - Melba Greene

Noon - Wayne Burnette Band

1 p.m. - Darrell Webb Band
