The storefront hasn’t changed much in the past 50 plus years but the his-tory inside Ciderville Mu-sic Store and Dave’s Music Barn continues to expand.

Collector David West drives a piece of memorabilia - a 1931

Model A Ford Roadster.

Building history one block at a time

What started out as a 22 x 26-foot block building constructed by David West, his father Claude and sisters Faye and Alma, has grown in length and depth to en-compass hundreds of musi-cal instruments and a music hall.

“The rock face storefront is the entrance now with the original front door,” said Alma. “We poured each block by hand and laid them in 1948.”

The family rented out the building at fi rst, then took over a cider business in the store in 1958 – hence the name. David worked the store bottling and selling ci-der for a few years before he took an interest in musical instruments.

“I just loved musical in-struments but I couldn’t play,” said David. “I decided to learn to play a banjo and in 1964 I got my fi rst job playing music.”

West says he couldn’t make a living selling cider so he took to the stage, play-ing fi rst in Gatlinburg, then with Bonnie Lou and Buster and Cas Walker. He played many times at the Ryman Auditorium and with well-known musicians. But pay-

Barn. You can browse the instruments, both new and vintage, while enjoying the entertainment history and memorabilia of Knoxville. Finish out the evening on stage or in front of it from 8 p.m. till the cows come home.

Ciderville Music Store and Dave’s Music Barn are located at 2836 Clinton Hwy. Info: 945-3595.

■ White isn’talways whiteQuilter Jean Lester says

“white isn’t always white” when it comes to material. Lester was the special guest speaker at the May meeting of the Bits n’ Pieces Quilt

Guild. She brought sam-ples of quilt pieces she has worked with in repairing old or worn quilts.

“You can fi nd new and vintage material online,” she said. “This is not mu-seum quality stuff but you don’t always need that.”

Guild members brought quilts that needed repair from family heirlooms to vintage ones picked up for a steal off the back of a truck. Lester advised members on the best way to repair and clean older quilts.

“Everything old is not museum quality,” she said. “Sometimes it’s just old.”

Lester also had good ad-vice for hanging a quilt on

the wall and the best wayto store and protect yourprized quilts.

“To store a quilt, alwaysfold it in thirds and store ina pillowcase – never plas-tic,” she said. “To air a quilt,place it outside after a thun-derstorm on green grasswith a sheet under it and es-pecially on top. Birds haveno respect for quilts.”

Bits n’ Pieces Quilt Guildincludes members fromKnox, Anderson and Unioncounties and welcomes newor experienced quilters. Theguild meets each fourthThursday at Norris Com-munity Center. Info: 278-7796.

The exterior of Ciderville Music Store looks pretty much as it always has.

ing the bills early on wasn’t easy. Sister Faye was run-ning the music store while David was on the road.

“I got two checks each week,” said David. “I kept one and I sent one back to pay Faye to run the store.”

West says he has held lots of jobs in his 67-year career but he always stayed with music. Creating a histori-cal museum started with a hand-built money box and money bag and grew expo-nentially as West pursued a career in music and met remarkable people. There is barely a spot anywhere inside or outside the build-ings that isn’t covered with pictures, art or historical documents.

With persistent hard work, Ciderville became known as “the place” to pur-chase musical instruments. West says his original goal was just to be the No. 1 Mar-tin dealer in East Tennessee. After just one year of carry-ing Martin guitars he was ranked No. 1 in the entire state and was soon listed in

the top fi ve Martin dealers in the world. West learned business sense by listening to the best and says compe-tition doesn’t worry him.

“I would love to see a big chain music store open across the street,” he said. “They would draw a lot of customers but they couldn’t please everybody and those folks would come here. Cas Walker always told me run my race and let others run theirs. He said to watch what they did good and put it with what I did well and then I could have it all.”

The music show at Dave’s Music Barn started in 1966 and has seen its share of famous guests. Folks can come on Fridays and Sat-urdays and jump in line to sing, play, or just sit and enjoy the show. You never know who might wander inside. The environment is family oriented and features prize walks, a popcorn eat-ing contest and door prizes.

McHaffie – Jett Cemetery

120th Anniversary 1893-2013

7623 Breckenridge Lane | Knoxville, TN | 922-2548

McHaffie-Jett Cemetery on Hankins Lane just off Miller Road was established as McHaffie Family Cemetery on March 30, 1893. There has not been a McHaffie buried

there in almost seventy years. However, it evolved into a community cemetery which has now been largely forgotten. There are about 250 marked graves in the cemetery.

The following is a partial list of some family names represented: Whitson (22), Powell (17), Jenkins (9), McHaffie (9), LaRue (9), Pique (8), Jones (7), Hembree (6), Walker (5), Williams (5), Brown (4), Carr (4), Jett (4), Macklin (4), Weaver (4), Laugherty (3), etc.

Please visit the graveyard, show your respect, decorate and help support your community cemetery.

Sincerely,Don W. Jett

Remembering Memorial Day

VictorAshe

The Pam Reeves nomination to be our next federal judge is moving at lightning speed by federal judicial and Obama White House standards with the announcement May 16 that her nomination has been formally sent to the U.S. Senate.

Smooth sailing

for Reeves

The nomination is highly regarded in the legal com-munity by both Democrats and Republicans. Unlike many judicial nomina-tions these days, which are contentious and ideological, this one should be smooth sailing.

The fact that the Obama administration has moved so quickly is unusual given that Tennessee is not an Obama state. In fact, on many nominations Obama has not acted quickly. For example, in Chicago, which is the President’s home town, the U.S. Attorney position has been vacant for over a year despite the two senators (one Republican and one Democratic) from Illinois sending names to the White House.

The Reeves nomina-tion is also unusual in that many judicial nominees are under 50 when appoint-ed, as has been the practice since President Reagan with only a few exceptions. The reason is that the Presi-dent making the appoint-ment wants someone who is likely to serve 20 or more years. Reeves turns 59 this July 21 (by my standards being 68 myself, this seems young).

Judge Tom Varlan was 46 when he was appointed 10 years ago.

Finally, Reeves’ voting record shows a bipartisan fl avor. In the last three years she has voted in three Republican primaries. These were the August 2010 GOP state primary, the Sep-tember 2011 GOP primary for state senate, and the March 2012 GOP presiden-tial primary.

Strong partisan Demo-crats may view this with suspicion, but there are logical explanations as to why she might have done this given that Reeves actu-ally is a Democrat.

In August 2010, there was a contested state primary for governor and

more than 85 percent of all Knox Countians voted in the GOP primary, primarily to support Bill Haslam.

In September 2011, it was a contested GOP pri-mary between Marilyn Roddy and Becky Duncan Massey with the Democrat, Gloria Johnson, unop-posed. This special election was created by the resig-nation of Jamie Woodson from the state Senate.

In the March 2012 GOP presidential primary, there was also a contested GOP primary for county law director between Joe Jarret and Bud Armstrong which attracted great interest among lawyers. Obama was unopposed in the Democratic primary last year.

Reeves has an exception-ally strong voting record as evidenced by a near perfect voting in all elections and primaries. The fact is she has voted overwhelmingly in Democratic primaries over the years but did switch over to the GOP on occasion. That suggests she is not ideological but practi-cal and casts her vote in a strategic manner where it will have the most impact.

■ Sen. Lamar Al-exander will raise more money for his re-election campaign Tuesday evening, May 28, at the Knoxville Convention Center when Gov. Bill and Crissy Haslam will be special guests at the $1,000 a person event. Alexander is currently unopposed.

■ Circuit Court Judge Debbie Stevens will have her ceremonial swearing in by Gov. Haslam at 2 p.m. Wednesday, May 29, in the small assembly room of the City County Building. It is open to the public.

■ A book by Keel Hunt on a signal event in Tennessee state govern-ment 35 years ago will be published next year entitled “Coup: The Day the Demo-crats Ousted their Gover-nor, Put Lamar Alexander in offi ce early and Stopped a Pardon Scandal.” Anyone who follows Tennessee politics will consider this a must read.

■ Former Tennessee House Speaker William “Dick” Barry died May 22 in Lexington, Tenn., after a lengthy illness.

Barry was a top aide to Gov. Buford Ellington in Ellington’s second term. Barry was one of the last Speakers to be chosen by the Governor and ratifi ed by the Senate members.

Fountain City resident Charlotte Davis is holding out hope for the mall she still calls East Towne.

Why East Towne matters

“I do not go to West Town,” she said. “They ru-ined a wetland to build Turkey Creek so I will not go there. What I would like to see is for East Towne to succeed. It’s going to be a mammoth job, but I want to see it prosper. We need that here.”

That is likely one of the few topics about which Davis and Mike Edwards, president/CEO of the Knoxville Chamber, agree.

“It matters like crazy to the community, and we’ve got to do everything we can do to get that mall to be prof-itable for a million different reasons,” Edwards said. “There are signifi cant chal-lenges, but the worst thing that could happen would be for them to go dark.”

Edwards points to the stable businesses on the malls’ out-parcels and says he is impressed by the ef-forts of Knoxville Center’s energetic leasing repre-sentative Justin Sterling,

Dadgum it. The Atlanta-based chicken franchiser had agreed with residents to install a 14-foot monument sign on Kingston Pike in Bearden. But when it came Fountain City’s turn, the company would not budge. A 40-foot pole sign was in-stalled last week.

The sign is legal, but oh so unnecessary.

City Council member Nick Della Volpe called the sign “defi ant” and “demon-strating a lack of respect for the historic and proud com-munity of Fountain City.”

Della Volpe concedes the sign is legal under what he calls “an antiquated sign or-dinance,” but he says Chick-fi l-A should realize the Fountain City community is “not an interstate truck stop.” He said the commit-tee that’s revising the city’s sign ordinance is moving too slowly. “The door was left open, so Chick-fi l-A walked right through it.”

Disappointment was ex-pressed by Margot Kline of Scenic Knoxville. In an email to Chick-fi l-A president Dan Cathy (dan.

cathy@chick-f i l-a.com), Kline wrote:

“Despite many requests for low, attractive signage similar to what you installed in Bearden, Franklin Square and Turkey Creek, you have chosen to install the 40-foot sign in Fountain City, Knox-ville.

“I believe this is a tremen-dous insult to the people who live, work and attend school in Fountain City. You did the right thing with low signage in parts of west Knoxville. Why are you contributing to urban blight in Fountain City?”

Kline says she’s addicted to the store’s diet lemonade, and “I also have always liked your chicken strips, waffl e fries, ice cream with blue-berries and carrot salad. No more. Zaxby’s also sells pretty good chicken, and I just discovered Minute Maid sells diet lemonade in gal-lon cartons – not as good as

yours, but I will not spend another penny at any of your stores as long as the Foun-tain City sign remains.”

Kline said more than 4,000 people viewed and supported Scenic Knoxville’s Facebook page. Most are col-lege-educated, hardworking, thoughtful folks who do not spend their money foolishly.

She said her opposition has nothing to do with polit-ical or philosophical values. “You are coming in, dam-aging the character of the community, and very likely hurting residential property values nearby, and I do take offense to that.”

Realistically, this is fried chicken-eating East Ten-nessee. Chick-fi l-A in Foun-tain City won’t miss Mar-got Kline. But the company came here with an arrogance

that’s not appreciated. That can’t be good for business over the long haul.

Edwards is glad to see City Council’s apparent willingness to help the mall become more visible while Sterling works to secure new anchor tenants while nurturing an eclectic array of locally owned specialty businesses.

There’s Fluff n Stuff, Knoxville’s leading natu-ral parenting store, which owner Heather Truax start-ed as a cloth diaper busi-ness. It has blossomed into

a hub for natural parenting supplies and expanded into a space large enough to ac-commodate a classroom.

And Amin “Ike” Lalani’s Signature Diamond Gal-leria, family-owned for 19 years. Ike is upgrading to a 4,600 square foot space, and is very excited. “It’s a prime location in the mall, and we are moving all the cases in now. We’ll have a grand re-opening in another month. Watch for it. One hundred percent great deals.”

Ben Bela is a former taxi driver who has opened My Kitchen in the mall’s Food Court, where he serves made-to-order quesadillas

and guacamole with fast-paced conversation. He’s made friends fast, and says people should come see him because, “I lived in Eu-rope, in North Africa, and America and I am the best man in the world. I know how to cook. I know how to drive a taxi, and I know how to complain.”

Tattoo Lou is a partner in “Turning Heads,” the only in-mall tattoo par-lor in Tennessee. It’s also a hair, nails and tanning salon – “A salon with an East Coast edge,” Lou said, opening the neckline of his shirt to display his favor-ite tattoo – Mother Teresa smoking a stogie.

I have always been fas-cinated by street names and their origin. For the most part, developers often name streets af-ter their families or after street names they have seen in other areas. Some use the name of the former owner if it has historical significance (i.e. Smith-field subdivision).

One upscale builder told me his favorite TV program was “Murder She Wrote.” The fictional set-ting was Cabot Cove. He said he liked the name so much he named his devel-opment Cabot Ridge. Well, we might say that’s one mystery solved. But the

real mystery was a street in my subdivision.

All the streets in our neighborhood are named after famous golf courses. But one street, Crippled Mule Point, has no rela-tion to the others. That aroused my curiosity. The answer was found in an unpublished manuscript written by the late Fox Den members Bob Fraim and Tom Foree, our first golf professional.

It seems that when the developer, Chester Massey, was acquiring the property from 11 different owners, he thought he had enough land to build the course. But the golf course

architect, Willard Byrd, discovered at the last mo-ment that additional land was needed to complete the 12th hole. The proper-ty was owned by Spencer Smith, the former owner of the Smithfield subdivi-sion property. Massey had purchased property from Smith before and didn’t foresee any problem in purchasing the additional property.

He approached Smith in an unassuming way, but quickly found it wasn’t go-ing to be easy. Smith was adamant about not selling any additional land and ended the conversation quite abruptly. Massey

MALCOLM’S CORNER | Malcolm Shell

What’s in a name?

recalls that he went down to what is now the 1st fair-way and shot some quail. He dressed and took them to Smith, who thanked him but said he still was not going to sell.

At that point, Massey told the architect to make the 12th hole a par 3. Massey had started pub-lishing a Fox Den newslet-ter and was always looking for possible items for the publication. That led him to once again visit Spen-cer in hopes of finding a possible story that might be of interest to the new residents. Mrs. Smith an-swered the door and told him that Spencer was sick but that he could visit with him a few minutes.

When he entered the bedroom, he assured Smith that he had not come to talk about pur-chasing any additional property. He told him that he simply was trying to find some good material to include in his newsletter. At that point, Smith rose up from his bed, threw his feet over the edge and sat up as Mrs. Smith started

to spin a tale that fascinat-ed Massey.

She said that when the Civil War was nearing an end, stragglers from both North and South would often pass by the prop-erty and ask to be fed. On one particular morning, three Confederate soldiers knocked on the door and asked if she could serve them breakfast. She did so and they sat down on the front porch to eat. While they were eating, seven or eight Union soldiers rode by and spotted the three Confederates. A gun battle ensued and Mrs. Smith grabbed what she could carry and ran out the back door. She eventually made her way through the woods to Campbell’s Sta-tion, where she spent the night with friends.

The next day she re-turned home to find the three Confederate soldiers lying dead in the front yard. The house had also been looted. She imme-diately ran to the spring house to see if they had found her perishable items. She discovered

that all the milk and fresh meat were gone and the only thing left was an old crippled mule.

Massey asked the Smiths if he could publish that story in his news-letter, and Spencer said, “Would you really publish that?” Massey assured him that he would and at that point Spencer said: “Son, if you will publish that, I’ll just give you the property.”

At that point, Massey assured Smith that the road leading down to the spring would always be called Crippled Mule Point.

Massey published the story in his newsletter. It was picked up by leg-endary former Knoxville News Sentinel sports edi-tor Tom Siler. And that story was picked up by the wire services.

So today the 12th hole is a beautiful par 4, just as it was intended to be, and the street that runs paral-lel to the hole on the east side is called Crippled Mule Point, just as Massey had promised.

Take a train at Art on Main!By Cindy Taylor

The 3rd annual Art in the Park Festival is shap-ing up to be the best one yet. More than 45 high caliber artisans and ven-dors from Union, Knox and surrounding counties will line downtown Main Street from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, June 1, for Art on Main.

The festival was always intended to be outdoors, but weather was prohibitive.

For 2013, the event

moved from April to June and to the downtown streets of Maynardville. Rain or shine the festival will go on.

“With the Arts Center celebrating its first year anniversary in June, this will be a perfect place to have an arts festival,” said committee member and Arts Center director Susan Boone. “People can stroll the vendor booths and stop in at the center while they’re here.”

Highlights of the festival will be local artists’ demon-strations and sales that in-clude pottery, painted glass, handmade cloth, oil painting, handmade paper, Intarsia and much, much more.

Snack vendors will offer food with local f lair. There will be all- day entertain-ment and trackless train rides for the kiddies by Lil’ Thunder Railroad. The first 100 kids to ride will receive a McDonald’s cou-pon for free food.

Effective this fall, foot-ball players who strike defenseless foes above the shoulders will be subject to ejection. Players will be prohibited from using hel-mets as the punishing part of battering rams.

Football is fearful of con-cussions – and lawsuits.

Renewed concern about rules and serious inju-ries reminds me of 1905. Things were so bad, the president of the United States got involved.

In case you missed that season, it was when “Vol-unteers” became the of-ficial handle for sports teams at UT. Football Vols played at the rocky corner of 15th and Cumberland. They were not reported as particularly violent or prone to foul. They went 3-5-1 under new coach J.D. Depree, an overmatched leader without assistants.

The low-budget Volun-teers, captained by Roscoe

Evolution of football

“Piggy” Word, defeated Tennessee School for the Deaf and ran roughshod over American Temper-ance, 104-0. Clemson and Tennessee tied, 5-5, then the value of a touchdown. The Vols lost to Vanderbilt, Sewanee and Georgia Tech, defeated Centre but lost to Alabama in Birmingham and Grant in Chattanooga.

I really don’t think Ten-nessee caused it, but activ-ists became convinced that football was too rough and tumble, generally crude and void of dignity. The deaths of 18 college players might have been a factor.

Indeed, football was a

violent game of crunching power surges and crazy collisions followed by pil-ing on. There was punting and running for your life and an occasional score, cause for throwing hats in the air, hugging the near-est girl and launching the rag-tag band into the fight song (this was way before “Rocky Top”).

President Theodore Roo-sevelt, a man’s man, heard frightening reports, saw disturbing photographs of battered linemen and decid-ed football was doing more harm than good. There was no way to face the na-tion, but he sent forth word that football should be out-lawed.

The promise of change bought time for thought. Legalizing the forward pass appeared monumen-tal. It did not stop hitting and hurting. The change, in fact, proved mostly cos-metic, like refining street

fights into boxing. Players still got killed but fatalities were less gory.

Perhaps you know what happened after that. Foot-ball spread out somewhat and used more of the fi eld. Coaches started thinking. Strategy evolved. Was it bet-ter to feature size or speed?

There were two obvious ways to play offense: run a few plays with precision or a hodge-podge hundred and hope the others guys were more confused. Ten-nessee in the Neyland era embraced the former phi-losophy (he rarely used more than 12 or 15 plays in any game, but all were near enough to f lawless).

The T formation be-came the rage and a lot of other things developed. Bill Walsh substituted the short passing game for a running attack.

Somebody invented the wishbone. Darrell Royal gets credit. Emory Bellard deserves more. Barry Swit-zer says Spud Cason did it at William Monnig Junior High in Fort Worth – be-

cause his fullback was slow. Paul Bryant copied the

concept and had a fast full-back. Alabama changed the world.

Sam Wyche, Bubba’s older brother, was prin-cipal innovator of the no-huddle offense. He had the Cincinnati Bengals playing so fast, opponents said it was probably immoral and certainly unethical. De-fenders didn’t have time to make substitutions, much less catch their breath.

We’ll see how fast Butch Jones plays. There is no speed limit.

Doug Dickey took Ten-nessee from the single wing era and also developed some crusty linebackers. John Majors lost a star quarter-back, plugged in Dickey’s son and created the Sugar Vols (1985). Phillip Fulmer refi ned the art of persistent recruiting and won a na-tional championship.

I suppose the evolution of football is a happier sto-ry if I stop right there.Marvin West invites reader reaction. His

Christmas, Easter and Pentecost are the three ho-liest days of the Christian calendar. They represent three gifts: God’s entrance into God’s world in the per-son of Jesus of Nazareth, the promise of eternal life

in the resurrection of Je-sus and the abiding pres-ence of the Holy Spirit.

Each event is a mystery unto itself.

The Trinity – God, the Father, God, the Son and God, the Holy Spirit – is a

Voices threeListen, I will tell you a mystery!

(1 Corinthians 15:51 NRSV)

This is the sound of voices threeSinging together in harmonySurrendering to the mysteryThis is the sound of voices three.

(“One Voice,” The Wailin’ Jennys)

mystery that has been both blessing and curse for the Church. Trinity Sunday (which was yesterday) is always the Sunday follow-ing Pentecost Sunday, and it celebrates the comple-tion of the revelation of the “Three-ness” of God.

It is a blessing because it allows us to know and un-derstand God in different

ways. It is a curse because it is impossible to fully un-derstand.

It is a stumbling block for many: how can one God be three? Other religions have accused Christian-ity of having three gods, but Christians claim that the Trinity is one God, re-vealed in different forms.

It is a mystery.There is one explana-

tion that has been helpful to me. It may be startling to someone who has not heard the Trinity explained this way, but I found it un-derstandable, comforting and, well, comfortable.

To understand it, first you need to know that the word spirit in both He-

brew (ruach) and in Greek (pneuma) – the languages of the Old and New Testa-ments – is feminine. So if you can get your mind around the Holy Spirit as the feminine aspect of God, then in the Trinity you have a nice little nucle-ar family: Father, Mother and Son.

That is a mystery I can believe in, relate to and hold onto. It is “the sound of voices three, singing to-gether in harmony, surren-dering to the mystery.”

And it makes the mira-cle and the mystery of love – both human and divine, giving and receiving, cel-ebratory and sacrificial – even more wondrous.

Even though Support our Schools expects County Commission to fully fund the proposed school budget, let’s have a strong citizen turnout to watch the vote and applaud good work by our elected offi cials.

Wear yellow to the County Commission meeting in which Com-missioners will vote on the 2014 budget 2 p.m. Tuesday, May 28, in the Main Assembly Room at the City County Building. Public forum begins at 1:45.

Church in Powell hosted the Life Line Community Health Screening May 22 at the church. More than 50 people took advantage of preventive testing in one place at the same sitting.

Life Line offers Carotid Artery/Stroke screening, Abdominal Aortic Aneu-rysm screening, Peripheral Arterial Disease screening and Osteoporosis screen-ing in a single session.

They also check blood pressure. Jefrica Mitchell is a nurse and manager with the traveling medical unit.

“We have about 60 teams across the U.S. and in other countries,” said Mitchell. “We travel every day Mon-day through Friday and work 12-13 hours a day.”

Life Line is crucial for many who don’t have health insurance, or who have difficulty getting out and might not otherwise be able to have the testing.

“My mother has been doing the Life Line screen-ing every year,” said Ginger Wright. “It is very helpful to be able to have all of this done in one place.”

Last mission trip, Teresa Long was taking photos and one girl wanted her photo taken with her. She wrote her

name on Teresa’s hand, “Jesica Maria Terse.” Via an interpreter she asked, “Will I get to see you next year?”

Long replied, “I hope so.“It was very emotional,”

Long said. “Just realizing that we perceive them as having very little when in

reality they possess much more than we have here. They have their faith, their love and support of each other unconditionally.”

“He’s been riding a 1,300 pound horse since he weighed about 80 pounds,” said Bob, “Growing up, he rode just about every day.”

Blake’s practice has paid off over the years, as he has been earning blue ribbons in competitions against adults since he was 12.

“The best riders have been training for 30 or 40 years. Most of the Olympic cham-

pions have grey hair. So I know it’s a skill I can always improve,” says Blake.

Blake, a 2010 Gibbs High grad, is in his junior year at Virginia Intermont College in Bristol, Va., where he can ride the best horses, and rid-ers are given a horse to ride in the ring – a horse they can’t even touch prior to mount-ing – a horse they may never have even seen before.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch …

Bob and Gail are busy with work on the horse farm since they took it over in 1985. Gail quit the real es-tate business years ago and took on an active teaching role at the farm.

“We train riders from beginners to intermediates, ages 5 to 60,” she says.

“We used to have west-ern classes, but our interest turned to hunter/jumpers and equitation, so we built a full-size course behind the big barn for our lessons and practices.”

The Roberts took six stu-dents to a horse show ear-lier this month in Talbott, where everyone got a blue ribbon, and three received grand champion awards.

The summer horse camp is June 24-28 with a few spots left. Kids will learn how to care for horses, and they’ll ride every day.

Three Copper Ridge Elementary School staff members

were honored at a recent retirement reception. Principal

Terry Frost, librarian Stan Stooksbury and 5th grade teach-

er Mary Garrison said goodbye to friends and co-workers.

Frost has been at the school for nine years and worked for

Knox County Schools for 30 years. Stooksbury has been

the librarian at the school for 22 years and Garrison spent

35 years teaching students at Copper Ridge. All three plan

to relax a little, travel a bit and as Garrison said, “fi gure out

what a retired person is supposed to do.” Frost calls Copper

Ridge the “sweetest place in the world and a good place

to grow children.” Garrison plans to return to the school

and substitute some in the classroom. As for Stooksbury,

he will stay busy with traveling, antique shopping, paint-

ing, and continuing to be the organist and librarian at his

church . Photo by Ruth White

Belk helps schools

By Ruth WhiteHow to say thanks for 125

wonderful years in business?The folks at Belk decided to

do makeovers in local schools over a 125-day period (March 10 to July 12). Locally, the three Belk stores selected Spring Hill Elementary (Knoxville Center Belk), West Haven Elementary (West Town Mall store), and Christenberry Elementary (Belk of Colonial Pinnacle at Turkey Creek).

The Christenberry project is scheduled for Thursday, May 30, while the others were fi nished last week.

At Spring Hill Elementary, principal Judy Pickering had trouble fi nding words to de-scribe her feelings for the proj-ect beyond “Wow!”

“We are overwhelmed by the support from Belk and the opportunity they are provid-ing for students, staff mem-bers and parents of this com-munity,” she said.

Belk manager at Knoxville Center, Liza Wilson, said em-ployees were given an oppor-tunity to take a work day to help a school. “It’s been fun for us to help them out and it’s also been great team building for us.”

Over at West Haven El-ementary, West Town Belk sales team manager Amy Mc-Ghee said, “I’m excited to be here. It’s great to get out in the community and help out.”

Projects included: ■ Constructing picnic tables

■ Landscaping

■ Assembling and painting

bookshelves

■ Painting murals

■ Creating “magic” reading mats

■ In-store book drives

■ Surprise makeover for principals

Belk employee (and parent of a West Haven student) Cynthia Wal-

ters and West Town Belk sales team manager Amy McGhee add

color to the walls of the teachers’ lounge. Paint was donated by the

Sherwin-Williams store on Clinton Highway.

provided drinks for fi eld day events this year.

NEWS FROM LITTLEFISH LAND AND HOME

LittleFish Land and Homewww.littlefi shrealestate.com

776-0555

By Shana Raley-Lusk

Anyone who has ever tried to sell a home knows how diffi cult and confusing real estate transactions can be, especially given the current market conditions. Add to that the pressure of trying not to lose the equity that you have built up over the years, and it can be a recipe for a stressful situation. Fortunately, one local compa-ny’s business model has answers to all of the real estate concerns that sellers face.

LittleFish offers listing packages that are based on how long the seller wants to list the property rather than a commis-sion based on the value. This way, the seller cuts out a large part of the over-head that is normally involved in selling a property through a traditional agency.

“Because of the savings, the seller will either have more room to negotiate or will pocket more money on the sale,” says Rob Mynatt, principal broker at Little-Fish Land and Home.

LittleFish off ers innovative approach to real estate

Land and Home. Photo by Shana Raley-Lusk

When working with LittleFish, sellers schedule their own showings, but can still rely on professionals to help with negotia-

tions and writing the contract if needed. “Our listing packages start at $42 per

month for the subscription-based pack-age, or can be paid up front,” says Rob. “The seller gets the same MLS listing as they would with any other agency in Knoxville, but they also get an additional fi fty plus real estate specifi c websites.”

A relatively young company, LittleFish is growing, and it is due in large part to its loyal client base.

“To date, I have not had anyone come away disappointed,” says Rob. “Until now, we have been largely a ‘grassroots’ and word of mouth agency because of sat-isfi ed people.”

Rob advises potential sellers to take a comprehensive look at the process before making any big decisions where selling is concerned.

“Try to imagine it after the home is sold and you have moved on,” he sug-gests. “Consider all costs involved and

the time you are willing to spend on it. Getting all of the value from your home is a one shot deal. After it is over, there is no going back to get more.”

LittleFish has something to offer every seller and provides a high quality service at a low cost. With plans to open in Mem-phis this summer and Nashville early next year, the agency has hopes of even-tually expanding into other states. Little-Fish will soon be hiring buyer’s agents for the Knoxville area as well.

“Broken down to its simplest form, we save money,” Rob says. “The equity built up in a home comes with years of hard work and sacrifi ce. Consider where it goes before you decide to sell.”

By Suzanne Foree Neal Hospitals are places of

service but are also busi-nesses that are tasked with providing the best care for the money, the Rev. David Bluford told members of the Rotary Club of Farragut at the club’s May 22 meeting.

Bluford is a chaplain and director of guest services at Parkwest Medical Center and is a member of Rotary.

“Very few facilities can staff the total numbers of beds they have,” he said.

“The University of Ten-nessee, because it’s a training hospital, has a lot of residents on board. UT is the only Lev-el 1 trauma hospital and has to be staffed at all times.

“One of the busiest hospi-tals in our area is Le Conte in Sevierville, probably because tourists go there because it’s the only medical facility in the area.”

Bluford says the days of free-standing hospitals are pretty much gone. It takes partnerships to provide all the services needed for a fa-cility to stay open.

Most hospitals work on a 1 percent profi t margin, he said. Not-for-profi t hospitals have to reinvest revenue back into the facility.

“There are going to be changes in our region with alignment of facilities,” Blu-ford said.

“Obamacare, or the Pa-

tient Protection and Portabil-ity Act as it is really called, was passed because 32 mil-lion people don’t have health insurance.

“Major changes are com-ing for businesses with full-time, part-time and occa-sional workers.

“Many companies are cut-ting hours so they don’t meet the guidelines for insurance.”

The health care industry is looking at big issues like lifestyle changes and provid-ing more preventive care, he said, and businesses that fo-cus on trying to keep people out of hospitals will increase. “You’re not always going to fi nd a full shop everywhere you go,” he said.

Bluford added there’s one big difference between hospi-tals and other businesses:

“We don’t set our own rates.

“They tell us what we can charge for providing health care.”

Reported revenue at area hospitals was $581 mil-lion for UT Medical Center, $289.5 million at Fort Sand-ers Regional, $300.8 million at Parkwest and $246 million at Physicians Regional (Ten-nova, former St. Mary’s), said Bluford.

Bluford added that in 2010, Knox County had 2,167 licensed beds with 1,758 staffed beds for its popula-tion of 432,226.

speaker for the Rotary Club of Farragut at its May 22 meeting.

“The website acts as a vir-tual recruiter,” she said. “It’s a resource for both employ-ers and those seeking jobs. Best of all, it’s free. This is your tax dollars at work.

“Jobs4TN is real and it works.”

Chumley is charged with marketing the program for 14 counties including Knox and Union.

Hallsdale Powell Util-ity District has set an eve-ning meeting for Thursday, June 20, at 6 p.m. at the dis-trict offi ce on Cunningham Road.

It’s a good one-hour in-vestment of time to learn more about HPUD opera-tions and upcoming proj-ects.

Dale’s Sports in Halls has changed hands. The new owner is John Shaw. He bought the business from my friends Dale and Teresa Rutherford, 30-year own-ers/operators.

Shaw owns Solway Sporting Goods in Karns and also a store in Seymour. He said the Rutherfords will continue to be involved with the Halls store as he seeks to meet customers.

As Ruth White wrote in the Halls-Fountain City Shopper News:

“Dale’s Sporting Goods isn’t closing,” said Shaw. “The name isn’t changing.

“This store has been a fixture in Halls for almost 30 years.”

Dale and Teresa Ruther-ford will still be part of the store, maintaining rela-tionships and introducing Shaw to the loyal custom-ers and friends of the busi-ness.

Shaw feels blessed to be part of such a great busi-ness that does more than just sell sporting goods.

He is an ordained min-ister who uses his love for sports (softball in particu-lar) to reach out to prison-ers.

For more than 15 years he has used softball to get into the yard where he min-isters to prisoners through words and actions.

Shaw and his team trav-el to Florida, Kentucky, Alabama and Tennessee to minister in this unique way.

The Rutherfords know that the store they built from the ground up will be in good hands with Shaw.

“We want to thank the Halls and surrounding communities for being very supportive of us and keeping business local.”

Ladies’ Choice: Single-Site Gallbladder SurgeryNEWS FROM PREMIER SURGICAL

“I got sick every time I ate and had an awful pain on my right side,” remembers Allison Peek. For years, the 29-year old Knox-ville woman had suffered increas-ingly painful abdominal cramps after every meal.

“I knew something was wrong,” says Allison. “It was affecting my quality of life.”

Allison, who works in the medi-cal fi eld, suspected a problem with her gallbladder, but didn’t have the typical risk factors. “I didn’t fi t the profi le – I’m not overweight, I’m young and active.”

Fortunately, she consulted with Premier Surgical Associates at Tennova North. Through several tests, surgeon Dr. Marcella Greene discovered that Allison’s gallblad-der wasn’t working correctly.

“Gallbladder disease can hap-pen at any age,” explains Dr. Greene. “You can be young and thin and still have infl ammation,

Allison is thrilled with her re-sults. “I was home that night and was able to eat. And for the fi rst time in years, it didn’t hurt.”

“Many people have immediate relief of their symptoms,” explains Dr. Greene.

And, with the da Vinci® ro-botically-assisted surgery sys-tem, there’s less pain and bleed-ing, and a shorter hospital stay and fast recovery.

“I had an awesome, awesome experience. I can’t say enough about Dr. Greene and her partners Dr. David Harrell and Dr. Roland Weast,” says Allison.

Offi ce on Aging’s project LIVE (Living Through Vol-unteer Efforts). They’re funded by grants, donations and fundraisers such as the recent get-together.

PAWS director Susan Long says that the whole thing started in 2004 when elderly Dorothy Kidd, a dog lover, wanted other seniors to be able to adopt shelter pets. Young-Williams Ani-mal Center quickly got in-volved, coordinating with the Offi ce on Aging, and PAWS hit the ground run-ning.

The folks at PAWS willprovide anything that low-er-income seniors need tocare for their pets. They’llcover shelter pet adoptionfees and have stepped in tohelp with vet bills on occa-sion. They also partner withthe UT Vet School in its Feed-a-Pet program, providingseniors who can’t afford petfood with Hill’s Science Dietproducts.
