Recruiting near and far ...
Derek Dooley is trapped be-tween a rock and a hard place.
If a Tennessee prep star (think Jalen Ramsey) escapes the recruiting net and f lies afar, fans wonder how in the world a coach, with so many home-court advantages, could lose such a great talent.
Dooley is obviously asleep at the wheel. He should own the state. This is Tennessee!
But does becoming a Vol For Life mean you have hail from Big Orange Country? Marvin West takes a look.

Interns go to court (sort of)
Eight kids walk into Juve-nile Court, how many walk out?
Hopefully, if it’s the Shop-per-News interns, all of them do.
Last week the interns went to Juvenile Court and met Judge Tim Irwin and Richard Bean, superintendent at the Richard L. Bean Juvenile De-tention Facility.

Don’t mess with Detroit!
Jake Mabe says the best va-cation he has ever taken was to Detroit. That’s his story and he’s sticking to it. Jake just got back from Motown and muses on it inside.

The mystery of prayer
Prayer is a mystery in and of itself.
What it means, how it works, how it varies from circumstance to circumstance (not to mention voice to voice)—all of these fac-tors are as many and varied as the words that are used.

Gospel concert
is Aug. 11By Betty Bean
Nita Buell Black loves d isc over-ing new talent. Al-ways has, r e a l l y , which is a big part of the reason she was a teacher.
N o w that she’s retired, and tal-ent is no longer delivered to her classroom, sometimes she has to go looking for it. And sometimes it appears unbidden, when she’s look-ing for something else.
That’s what happened last year when she was out selling advertising for her Powell Playhouse playbill. She was cold calling on Clinton Highway business-es and stopped at Backyard Creations, a locally-owned business where they sell custom-made gazebos, play sets and such, owned by Stacy and David Doug-las.
“I thought they might
Black
Powell PlayhouseDavid Douglas like gospel music, he and Stacy write, arrange and perform it, too, and play a variety of instruments at Carroll Hollow Baptist Church in Clinton.
“They sing some of the very old traditional songs accompanied by fi ddle, mandolin and a bass back-up.”
Black has a special in-terest in gospel music and for the second year in a row is reserving an eve-ning in the Powell Play-house schedule for a gospel show called “Singing in the Neighborhood.” Last year’s show was scheduled for December, and the lineup was already set when she met the Douglases, but she kept them in mind for this year’s show.
The gospel show is set for 7:30 Saturday, Aug. 11, at Jubilee Banquet Facility on Callahan Road. Tickets are $10 and may be pur-chased at the door.
Other outstanding sing-ers on the program will be Grateful Heart, a quar-tet from Sharon Baptist Church; soloists Gerald
Satterfi eld, Diane Oliver and Bryan Yow; and the men’s quartet from Powell United Methodist Church.
Later in the season, Black will collaborate with one of her former stu-dents, Halls High School drama teacher Kim Hurst, who will cast and direct her students in “Puss and Boots,” and next April they will bring the production to the Powell Playhouse.
“We will help them any way we can,” Black said.
The rest of the schedule will include “Arsenic and Old Lace” in October, an arts and crafts show in No-vember, a comedy night in January, “Are We Listening – the Diary of Adam and Eve; I Can’t Hear You” and “The Odd Couple” in June.
Black, a 1955 Powell High School graduate, founded the Powell Play-house in 1972 when a group of her best students want-ed to do a summer play. She revived it after her re-tirement in 2005. She says it still inspires her.
“I love fi nding talent. It just blows my mind. Thrills me to death.”

By Ruth WhiteForget the old childhood
song that begged the rain to go away and come back another day. Rain is being celebrated in Knoxville and for good reason.
Mayor Madeline Rogero stopped by the construction site of a new home that will use rainwater as the primary source of water. Rogero cap-tures rainwater on a smaller
scale and uses it to water her yard and garden at her home. This new home will capture rainwater in three 1,700 gallon tanks and use it on a much larger scale.
Denis Rochat with Rain-water Resources showed the harvesting system and com-mented on the good quality rainwater in the Knoxville area. “We need just two fi l-ters (sediment and carbon)

Homebuilders Associa-tion of Greater Knoxville president Randy Heiden stressed the motto of the HBA as “help,” as in helping community members and helping things get better for the future. “This harvesting system will help with good stormwater management and help with resources.”
Rainwater is distilled as it falls from the sky and is
naturally soft, oxygenated and a high quality source of water. Rainwater harvesting can help preserve the wa-ter supply. Uses in the resi-dential setting can include household cleaning, toilet fl ushing, potable water, pool fi lling and irrigation. There are many commercial uses for rainwater harvesting, including pools, livestock, irrigation, car washes and cooling towers.

Sewer rehab project endsBy Sandra Clark
Hallsdale Powell Utility District commissioners met for about 10 minutes last week. It was a routine meeting.
President/CEO Darren Cardwell said several big projects “are wrapping up right now,” including Phase 2B of the Sanitary Sewer Rehab project handled by Insituform Technologies. Commissioners OK’d fi nal payments totaling $769,783 to the company.
Cardwell said 26 water meters were set in June and 13 sewer hookups were inspected. HPUD treated 242.7 million gallons of water and 160 million gallons of wastewater.
Commissioners appointed Cardwell, Sandy Liford and Kevin Julian to examine nominations for the commission post held by chair Jim Hill. The commit-tee will submit three names to commissioners at the Aug. 13 meeting. Shannon Carey contributed to this report.

My HVAC Advisor
opens in Knoxville
By Rob WebbWhen deadly storms rocked parts of East Tennessee a
few weeks ago, Rural/Metro was pre-pared. I was extremely proud of our Rural/Metro EMS and Fire Depart-ment teams that immediately powered into action.
Bystanders and a Rural/Metro fi re-fi ghter saved the life of a child who nearly drowned in a creek in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. A Ru-ral/Metro crew transported the child out of the national park.
In another area of the park, 20 individuals were trapped by a large rock slide. Blount and Knox rescue squads, National Park Service and Townsend Fire Department carved a path to the trapped and injured patients using chainsaws. Five patients were transported out of the park.
Severe thunderstorms can produce lightning, fl ash fl oods, hail and damaging winds, which can be a deadly combination. Americans deal with 10,000 thunder-storms, 1,500 fl oods and 1,000 tornadoes each year, and we’ve been getting our fair share in East Tennessee this summer.
We can’t always predict when severe weather will strike, but you and your family can be prepared when it does. Here are a few tips to stay safe during the storm:
■ Listen and pay attention to weather alerts on radio or television.
A severe weather watch alerts you to a potential situation. A
severe weather warning signals you to take cover from an im-
minent storm.
■ Prepare a three-day emergency weather kit for your family. The
kit should include nonperishable food and water for three days,
a fi rst aid kit, battery operated radio and fl ashlights, extra bat-
teries, and important telephone numbers and documents.
■ If you can hear thunder, you are also close enough to be struck
by lightning. Seek shelter indoors.
■ Avoid taking a bath or shower during a thunderstorm.
■ Unplug electrical appliances and avoid using the telephone
during a thunderstorm.
■ Draw blinds and shades over the windows to prevent glass from
shattering into the home in case strong winds blow objects into
the windows.
■ If caught outside in a severe storm, get to a low-lying, open
place that won’t be a danger for fl ash fl oods. Get low to the
ground, making yourself as small as possible and placing your
head between your knees. Do not lie fl at on the ground.
■ During a fl ash fl ood, do not drive through fl ooded areas, even if
it looks shallow.
With these simple tips, you and your family can safely weather the storms.

who
By Sandra ClarkIn 1992 the Halls High
School football team surged to a 12-2 season after a 5-5 record the year before. The difference was a guy named Kevin Purdy and a program called RAGE (Responsible Athletes Getting Education).
Kevin passed away July 11 at age 60, and at his celebra-tion of life – an East Tennes-see Irish wake in a Methodist Church – three players from that ’92 team addressed his family and friends.
Ryan Nichols, Brent Shaw and Justin Teague each said Kevin’s infl uence continues today. Nichols was especial-ly eloquent: “Kevin brought unity to our team. He re-spected us and taught us to respect each other. We are brothers today because of him.”
Shaw, now an assistant principal in Georgia with kids of his own, said, “There’s no telling what might have happened to some of us if Kevin hadn’t been there.”
Nichols told Kevin’s kids, twins Sean and Jenna, that they will always have friends in Halls. “We are just a phone call away.”
Webb School graduates Jenna and Sean, now in their early twenties, were blessed with two good parents. Their mom, Melissa, passed away in 2002. Kevin threw his
tremendous energy and pas-sion into raising them. They stood at his service as strong witnesses to his success.
Sean read from the scrip-ture and told a funny story about his dad deciding to cut a tree that was growing too close to their home. “Of course, the tree fell wrong and landed on our roof. He had me up there with him and Jenna on a ladder, and he was yelling, ‘Help me here!’ We were maybe 14. I’m still not sure what he wanted us to do.”
Jenna read an Irish bless-ing which ended, “My life’s been full, I’ve savoured much; good times, good friends, a loved one’s touch. Perhaps my time seemed all too brief, don’t shorten yours with undue grief. Be not burdened with tears of sorrow, enjoy the sunshine of the morrow.”
Kevin’s sister Kerry Fitzgerald said, “Kevin al-ways had a personality that was bigger than life. He was able to make close connec-tions with people.”
Wait! Did some saint pass by? Hardly.
Forming the SAPKevin Purdy was at least a
“heck-raiser” before he met Melissa. Perhaps that’s why he related so well with trou-bled teens.
People who lived in Halls 20 years ago remember those jocks who liked their beer and fast cars. One night a car fl ipped with two play-ers inside. No one was hurt, but then-coach Larry Kerr said it was a wake-up call.
The coach asked the play-ers if alcohol was a problem. Hands went up. He asked if they wanted help. Every hand was raised.
Kerr contacted St. Mary’s, and the hospital sent out a member of its Employee Assistance team, counselor Kevin Purdy.
Denny Koontz was a se-nior on that team. “Now don’t go telling people I was taking drugs. I’ve never tak-en drugs in my life,” he said Friday. “Kevin came in at a time when there were issues at the high school. He had been through it. He had lived the rough life and had come out on the other side.”
Denny’s dad, Realtor Gary Koontz, headed the com-mittee that raised money to fund a Student Assistance Program at Halls High. Pur-dy took a year’s leave from St. Mary’s and former Su-perintendent Earl Hoffmeis-ter (whose grandson Jason played on the team) lobbied the school board to allow the program at Halls. It was ap-proved as a pilot, providing no county funds were used.

Local Republicans will tell you they’re more fired up about this year’s elec-tions than any in a long time. From the national level on down to the state legislative races, they say victory is within reach.
Leading the pack is Joe Bailey, who heads the Romney for President campaign regionally and, despite very long days and a lot of travel, is having a great time doing it.
Bailey tells a story about being over in Sevier Coun-ty a week or two ago to speak to a Republican club. “I asked if anyone there could tell me how long it was until the end of ‘hope and change.’ This fellow on the front row raised his hand. He knew exactly how many days (until the presi-dential swearing in cer-emony). I couldn’t believe it. Folks are really excited about this election.”
Late last week local GOP offi cials inked a deal on new campaign headquar-ters at 5410 Kingston Pike in Bearden. Located on the triangle of land across from the Orangery and next to
the old Cleveland Interiors, the spot is also just west of Ben Atchley Drive, named for the revered Republican legislator.
Bailey says the space is perfect for the headquar-ters. There’s a lobby, lots of office space, room to store candidate materials for volunteers to pick up and of critical importance: plenty of parking space.
There will be a grand opening soon at the new headquarters, with candi-dates and elected officials on hand to meet and greet voters.
Candidates will rotate volunteers to staff the office, and in addition, there’s a whole f lock of up and coming young Repub-licans who will be on hand to help.
That group is headed by Alexander Waters, who is
chairing the Romney cam-paign in Knox County. Wa-ters’ Republican roots go pretty deep in these parts. He’s the grandson of for-mer TVA chair John B. Wa-ters, a staunch Republican. His parents are Beth and John B. Waters III, an at-torney.
Alexander, a UT law stu-dent, has recruited a dy-namic group of other UT law students to help. They are Leandra Varney of Johnson City, Sarah Davis and Nigel Vorbrich.
“Since we’re all in law school together, we get to-gether and talk about poli-tics. It’s great that we’ll all be working on this cam-paign,” Waters says.
The very articulate young Waters has been making the rounds of Re-publican groups locally. He was at West Knox Repub-lican Club’s meeting last month and met with the Young Republicans Club last week. He says that over the next few weeks his group will be meeting with volunteers on college and university campuses throughout the region.
“We’re going to be re-cruiting and mentoring young people and building an organization,” he says.
There’s no doubt that county GOP Chair Ray Hal Jenkins is fired up. He told a group of voters last week, “In a time of extreme stress and distress generated by the Democratic leadership at the top, it’s gratifying to see Republicans from the top down pull together to reverse the lack of lead-ership over the last three years at the national level and to further the good leadership we have had in our state.
“It is our goal to increase the Republican majority in Nashville, to retain the majority in the U.S. House and to use whatever in-fluence we can to regain the Senate and retake the White House.”
Jenkins adds: “I know that’s a mouthful, but I be-lieve we can do it.”Coming up:
Ryan Haynes, state representative from the 14th District, will official-ly kick off his re-election campaign with a reception 6-8 p.m. this Thursday at The Pavilion at Hunter Val-ley Farm.

Today at County Commission
By Sandra ClarkCommission chair Mike
Hammond has invited in-terim fi nance director Chris Caldwell to discuss year end numbers at 11:30 a.m. today (July 23) in the Small As-sembly Room. The meeting will not be televised.
This writer will be there, expecting our story from July 16 to be attacked. Com-missioner R. Larry Smith already has said we lack “fi -nancial savvy.”
We can talk defi nitions and “cash vs. accrual” all day, but the numbers are what we said. Knox County ended the fi scal year with $17.3 million more revenue collected than was budgeted to spend.
Best quote from last week’s commission work-shop: Commissioner Mike Brown, apparently fi ring back at our story “Trainor speaks” from July 16: “I’m fed up with being told we have no right to question where 2/3 of this county’s budget goes. If we’re step-ping on somebody’s toes, then they’ve got a problem.”
And the thoughtful Dave Wright piped up: “Reading the newspaper this morning, it looks like the school board is calling us out. ... I sat through 19 months of meet-ings (trying to get Carter El-ementary). ... Now the paper is asking why we can’t throw another $17 million at (the school board). That does not set well with me.”
Republicans staffi ng up at new headquarters
How one man made a difference
“It was easy raising mon-ey,” Gary Koontz said. “Busi-nesses and players’ parents supported it once they knew what was going on.
“All those boys were like my own.” Koontz said Purdy was “very calm and non-judgmental” with “an easy way to talk to kids.”
Making ABC NewsABC News aired a video
about student drinking, the Halls SAP and the football season. By now, Kevin had expanded the program to more than just boys who played ball.
Shannon Carey, now gen-eral manager of Shopper-News, was a sophomore in-terested in drama.
“I wasn’t drinking or into drugs. Most of us weren’t. SAP was about what it meant to be a teenager. It worked because it operated outside the box. Kevin was willing to talk to us as adults, but he expected us to act like adults in return.”
Peter Jennings of ABC News introduced the video by reporter Armen Keteyian,
now with CBS News.“Friday night football is
an excuse for teens to get drunk, even though drink-ing is illegal for those under 21 in every state,” Jennings began. Keteyian interviewed players and showed Coach Kerr asking, “Do we have a problem?”
“The SAP program works because it is controlled by students. It’s created a proud new tradition at Halls High School,” Keteyian said.
Koontz remembers too. He and Kevin secured a grant to start a similar pro-gram in every Knox Coun-ty high school. Sadly, the school board rejected it. SAP folded at Halls High. Coach Kerr left for Anderson Coun-ty. The RAGE dissolved and Kevin Purdy joined a real es-tate appraisal fi rm.
Gary Koontz said, “We had this program. It worked. And we lost it. But don’t make this story about poli-tics. It’s about Kevin and what he did for our boys.
“I’m proud of every one of them. They’ve all turned out good.”

Derek Dooley is trapped between a rock and a hard place.
If a Tennessee prep star (think Jalen Ramsey) es-capes the recruiting net and f lies afar, fans wonder how in the world a coach, with so many home-court advantages, could lose such a great talent.
Dooley is obviously asleep at the wheel. He should own the state. This is Tennessee!
Youngsters, following fathers and grandfathers, uncles and more than a few aunts, grow up root-ing for the Vols. They get little orange 18 jerseys as

birthday gifts. They may not carry a tune but they know the words to “Rocky Top.” They fantasize about checkerboards and “give him six!”
As long-ago coach Ray Trail once told Winchester linebacker Phillip Fulmer, “You are a Tennessee boy. If you go to Alabama, you are still from Tennessee. If
anything good is ever going to happen to you in football, it is going to happen at the University of Tennessee.”
Amen, brother Ray, right on.
Alas and alas, if Dooley awards too many scholar-ships to in-state prep stars who may have Southeast-ern Conference potential, fans say he is taking the easy way out. He should be seeking and signing the best in America, not the kid next door to save travel time and costs.
Who the heck did Dool-ey beat to get Cody Blanc or Devrin Young?
But, but, but you say,
home-grown boys love the Vols and will give their all for Tennessee. Dick Wil-liams from Greeneville and Hal Wantland from Columbia and Bill Young from Knoxville South were great captains because they really, really cared.
Al Wilson from Jack-son? He still bleeds orange. Three named Majors from Huntland or Sewanee? They gave a lot. Curt Wat-son, Crossville? Fearless, absolutely fearless.
Bill Bates from Farra-gut? Heart and soul. Lester McClain from Nashville? Courage of a champion. Bowden Wyatt, Kingston? Forever a Vol.
Hmmm, we’ll think about that.
I have thought.
Condredge Holloway came from Huntsville, Ala. He cared, did he ever!
Gordon Polofsky some-how found Tennessee from Cranston, R.I. He was blood and guts.
Richmond Flowers? Mont-gomery, Ala., heart of a lion.
Stanley Morgan, Easley, S.C.? Any challenge, no limits, lay it on the line.
John Michels, Philadel-phia, whatever it takes. Steve Kiner, Tampa, oh my. George Cafego, Scarbro, W.Va. Steve DeLong, Nor-folk, Va. You get the idea?
The numbers game, qual-ity and quantity, dictates that Dooley must recruit near and far. Near is better if other aspects are equal.
It is best if Tennessee can attract top talent from
within a 200-mile radius. Makes life easier and less expensive for interested relatives and girlfriends.
What really matters is recruiting players who can play, blockers, runners, throwers, catchers, hitters, speed, strength, smarts, good people who don’t cause nightmares, Vols you want to keep for life.
It doesn’t matter too much who they are or where they come from … Ackermann from Cham-blee, Ga., Mills from Eliza-bethton, Reynolds from Cincinnati, Henderson from Nashville, Warren from Savannah, Strat-ton from Tellico Plains, Haslam from St. Pete.Marvin West invites reader reaction.

MALCOLM’S CORNER | Malcolm Shell
Concord Marina, as it is now called, offers some great services for sports enthusiasts.
Indeed, it probably has more boat slips than Hil-ton Head’s Harbor Town and South Beach marinas combined. And the size of some of the luxury crafts docked there is impressive. But 60 years ago it was simply known as Concord Boat Dock, and the ser-vices provided were small compared to today.
There were a few boat-houses on the south bank that housed cabin cruisers, but there were never more
than a half dozen. The size of the crafts was much smaller than those moored there today. The largest craft I can remember was the Marta III owned by the Sterchi family, and I can remember thinking how exciting it would be to cruise the lake in such a magnificent boat.
Knox County owned the dock and leased it to Bob Burch who was an out-door enthusiast of some renown. Bob wrote an out-door column for the Knox-ville News Sentinel called “Birchbark,” which always included stories about his
outdoor adventures and of-fered advice on good fish-ing spots and current lures and bait that were bringing in the big ones. He knew every person who docked their boat there including those who rented boats daily. He always had time to converse with his pay-ing customers, including a 14-year-old kid who only had 50 cents in his pocket.
Another icon on the property was “Red” Moore. Red worked as Bob’s as-sistant and where Bob’s stories left off, Red’s con-tinued in an embellished version. I never knew Red’s
real name and I doubt many of the customers did either, but his reputation for entertaining the clien-tele with his tall tales was legendary.
As part of the facil-ity’s rustic décor, a large boa’s skin was displayed over the stone fireplace. I once overheard a con-versation Red was hav-ing with a customer who inquired about the skin. Red informed him that he was there when the reptile was killed. When the cus-tomer told Reed that boas were only found in tropical climates, Red said, “Well, this one crawled a long way. You can tell by how its underside was worn.”
On Saturday nights, there was often entertain-ment provided by a local rock band, and teenagers would dance to live mu-sic. Beer was not served in the park, and even if it had been, Bob would not have allowed the kids to drink on the premises. So, par-
ents felt secure in allow-ing their kids to attend the events.
One particular band was the Guy Brothers, talented musicians and vocalists. I never followed their ca-reer, but their talent with the proper promotion was sufficient to propel them into national prominence.
Today, the hill just east of the marina is the site of the fine restaurant Lake-side Tavern, which is not only a purveyor of fine food but also offers pan-oramic views of historic Concord Village. But 60 years ago, it was the site of a large picnic pavilion with a stone fireplace and several stone grills. It was the preferred site for fam-ily gatherings, church pic-nics and civic club events. Reservations often had to be made several months in advance.
The park closed at 9 p.m., and since the lights went off, most people va-cated the pavilion shortly
thereafter. Then it became the favorite site for lovers, who waited patiently near-by until the last car left. The park was patrolled by county officers who were charged with keeping the sites cleared after clos-ing, but the law was not strictly enforced. Perhaps these officers remembered their youth when they were more amorous and also looked for such smooching spots.
I still visit the boat dock occasionally, not to rent a boat or pay a slip fee, but just to stare at a certain spot where a band once performed, where kids laughed and where the stresses of life in the 21st century were not yet experienced or even envi-sioned.
It’s not that I don’t enjoy the new, modern facilities, it’s just that I look at them with a different perspec-tive, one that someone who was there 60 years ago would understand.

PULL UP A CHAIR … | Jake Mabe
DETROIT – The best vacation I have ever taken was to Detroit.
Wait a minute, now. Before you start laughing or thinking I have misplaced my marbles, hear me out.
I have been vacationing in Motown for 13 years, give or take a summer or two. Friends David and Jennifer, employees at Wayne State University, live in nearby Ferndale.
I fi rst went to Detroit to see the baseball team play the year Ti-ger Stadium closed. (By the way, I don’t care how cool Comerica Park, the new fi eld, may be – and it is cool – it will never match the magic of the long-gone cathedral at The Corner, the intersection of Michigan and Trumbull where Tiger Stadium once stood.)
My favorite trip was in Au-gust 2007. We had hit a streak of 100-degree days in Knox Vegas, not unlike last month. When I left Knoxville early that Sunday, the temperature was already 97 degrees. When I landed at the Detroit airport, it was 73. It was a perfect getaway because the Tigers won and the temperature was temperate and Maryville’s own Robinella sang like an an-gel at The Ark in Ann Arbor.
Wife Jennifer and I were in Michigan a few days ago. We went to the 13th annual Michi-gan ElvisFest in Ypsilanti, near Ann Arbor.
OK, I gotta be honest. Even though I am a huge Elvis fan, I didn’t want to go to the festival. I was afraid it was going to be kitschy and tacky, a freak-show parade of Elvis impersonators sweating too much and singing with too much vibrato.
Nope. Class affair. Top talent. Great time.
The highlight of the festival was Robert Washington. Robert is a former Marine and lifelong Elvis fan. He got the news about The King’s death while in boot camp.
Robert has one of the best El-vis voices I’ve ever heard. May-be the best I’ve ever heard. He came in second place for three years at the Images of Elvis World Championship, sort of a World Series for Elvis imper-sonators, in Memphis.
Guess why he didn’t win? He happens to be African Ameri-can.
Never mind that when Dewey Phillips started playing Elvis’ recording of “That’s All Right” on Memphis radio in 1954 most listeners thought he was black. Never mind that Washington blew away his competition. He came in second. Three times. He has finally won, I am proud to report. Look him up on You-Tube.
After the Elvis insanity, we drove to downtown Detroit. We went to see “Ernie” at The City Theatre. It is a hit play written by popular author/columnist Mitch Albom about longtime Detroit Tigers broadcaster Er-nie Harwell. Ernie died in 2010. He left behind a hole the size of his huge heart.
Ernie is the only broadcaster in baseball history traded from one baseball team to another for a player. His velvet voice be-came the summer soundtrack for millions of Michiganders (and a few Detroit Tigers refu-gees elsewhere in America).
When I tell this tale, people ask all the time if I am scared to hang out in downtown Detroit after dark. I say no. It’s like any
Don’t mess with Detroit

other city in America. You don’t go to certain sections at night. (And for the record, the most frightening experience I ever had involving an exchange with a disreputable character hap-pened not in Detroit, but at the Walgreens in Fountain City.)
Does Motown have problems? Absolutely. But, it is as Ameri-can as, oh, say, the Ford and General Motors plants I passed on the interstate.
Let’s lose the stereotype. Don’t mess with Detroit. Visit Jake Mabe online at jakemabe.blogspot.com.

Prayer is a mystery in and of itself.
What it means, how it works, how it varies from circumstance to circum-stance (not to mention voice to voice)—all of these factors are as many and varied as the words that are used.
Prayer varies from coun-try to country (and from din-ner table to dinner table).
There lives in my family’s lore a prayer that was used by a distant relative, whose name, I promise you, was Gideon. There are other sto-ries about him that were col-orful and oft-quoted, but he was best remembered for his prayer (and his fondness for the bottle).
If Uncle Giddy (as he was

WORSHIP NOTESments of a prayer. There were family members who could quote it verbatim; Uncle Gid-dy liked to eat at my grand-mother’s table, so they heard it often.
By the time I was old enough to hear and truly ap-preciate the story, all those who could quote the whole thing were gone. The only part of it that I still remember is a perfectly lovely phrase: “Pardon and pass by our many sins.”
Nothing wrong with that at all.
The rub came the time my uncle, who had grown up hearing his Uncle Giddy’s prayers, was asked to return thanks at a rather fashion-able dinner party. He went absolutely blank—except for Uncle Giddy’s prayer. It was all he could think of, and so he launched into it, utterly terrifi ed that he was going to
burst into hysterical laughter at any moment.
I remember another time everyone actually did burst into laughter. I was a young mother, living in New Jersey, and had fl own here with my little ones for a visit with fam-ily. I was scurrying around helping with dinner, getting the girls cleaned up from their afternoon of play before the other guests arrived for the meal. Two minutes before we were ready to be seated around the table, there was a need for a diaper change. Mission accomplished, hands washed, I sat back down at the table, took a deep breath, and Mother called on me to return thanks over the meal.
I bowed my head and of-fered, “Lord, thank you for times we are not bored.” There were snickers, but no one actually guffawed until after the “Amen.”

The piece was commissioned by the alumni of Leadership Education and honors all educators of East Tennessee for their dedicated service, caring instruction and role in the community’s lives. The work was sculpted by Julie Warren Conn.

Rosenbalm Workman
By Elizabeth LongmireLast week the interns
went on a very special ad-venture and met some very special people. The fi rst stop was the City County Build-ing to watch Judge Dale Workman in the courtroom.
We saw the whole tri-al process with the jury, judge and attorneys.
(Editor’s note: An attor-ney from the law fi rm with the slogan “We’ll turn your wreck into a check” rep-resented the plaintiff. On Friday, we learned the trial lasted until 4:30 and the fe-male plaintiff was awarded $8,000; the man zero.)
After leaving the court-room, we ventured up-stairs. Little did we know that County Mayor Tim Burchett would invite us into his office to chat and ask questions.
What an opportunity! Burchett was hilarious
and such a normal guy. He made sure we were all comfortable and having a good time.
(Editor’s note: Burchett showed us some shrap-nel he had found with his metal detector, a mayoral hobby. “It’s cheaper than a psychiatrist,” he said.)
After pictures with the mayor we headed out for lunch at The Lunchbox where we met up with Judge Workman and Judge Wheeler Rosenbalm to talk about the tricks of the courtroom trade and studying the law.
It was great to get insight from two men who know so much and are so passionate about their jobs.
(Editor’s note: Judge Workman gestured around The Lunchbox, booming, “This place is packed with
lawyers! Over there are the medical malpractice ones, and over by the door are some business lawyers, and back here are some criminal defense lawyers.” Everyone discretely ignored the judge except one of the malprac-tice guys. When Workman pointed to his group, the at-torney grinned and waved to the interns.)
Saying goodbye to the judges, we headed down to the Richard L. Bean Juvenile Detention Center for a tour from Richard Bean himself.
Before the tour began, we met with Judge Tim Ir-win in the Juvenile Court-room adjacent to the De-tention Center.
He explained his job and the statistics about the center. The Detention Cen-ter holds on average 120 kids from the ages of 12-17.
During a usual two- to three-day stay, the judge said, “The goal is to straighten out kids by the age of 18.” Fewer kids have been coming in to the detention center over the years, which is a thrill.
Irwin is so passionate about his job he said, “I even like it better than my 14 years in the NFL.”
(Editor’s note: Judge Irwin told intern Mitch-ell Kolinsky he knew his grandfather, Frank Kolin-sky, a former UT Vol tackle who passed away in 2011.)
Every time a kid comes into court, the Judge asks, “Have you been treated OK?” He hasn’t heard the answer “no” in his six years on the bench.
He says, “I promise you, you are going to see the nic-est kiddy-jail in the land.”
His fi nal, encouraging words were, “This is the ultimate court for second chances.”
After pictures with the judge, we headed on the tour with Bean, a man equally passionate about
his job. He arrives at work at 5 a.m. and stays until 5 p.m. almost every day.
We have wonderful people running Knox County. From the judges to the mayor, Knox County is run by people who just can’t be beat.

Richard Bean discusses how the juvenile detention center operates with interns Jacob Messing
and Mitchell Kolinsky.

at the juvenile detention
center. The goats provide
stress relief and a listening

center have a problem or
just need to talk.

By Madeline LonasEight kids walk into Juve-
nile Court, how many walk out?
Hopefully, if it’s the Shopper-News interns, all of them do.
Last week the interns went to Juvenile Court and met Judge Tim Irwin and Richard Bean, superinten-dent at the Richard L. Bean Juvenile Detention Facility.
The facility is a nice place to visit and it’s very well kept, but I would never want to be sent there.
Judge Irwin, assisted by seven magistrates, presides over the hearings for ac-cused juvenile offenders and determines their fate.
Children can be sent to the detention center if they commit a petty crime, such as shoplifting or unruly be-havior, or huge crimes like murder or rape.
The state of Tennessee requires children from ages 6-18 to attend school. If a child has a high absentee rate or if the parents are ne-glectful about the child’s at-tendance, both will be sent to court. The state will take
custody if the parents fail to deliver their children to school.
The judge said about 750 children are in state custody for various rea-sons. The prescription drug epidemic is keeping the juvenile court busy and accounts for the majority of new cases, he said.
Judge Irwin cares deeply about children. He wants kids to know he is there to help them, not hurt them.
(Editor’s note: We once spotted Judge Irwin wear-ing jeans at graduation of the Paul Kelley Volunteer Academy in Knoxville Cen-ter mall, another place for second chances. He said “one of mine is graduating.”)
Richard Bean gave us a tour of the detention facil-ity. He told us that 80 boys and 40 girls are housed currently in separate parts of the facility.
Usually children stay for two or three days, but Bean had one stay almost three years. She left with “boxes of crafts,” he said.
When kids are admit-ted, they get a shower and a
change of clothes (boys wear orange, girls wear blue).
The child also gets a health check. A nurse works at the facility daily and a physician visits each Friday.
The day begins at 6 a.m. with reveille. Everyone at-tends school for seven hours. The kids can watch one hour of television, but only if they behave. Surprisingly, there is a variety of choices of TV channels from which to choose.
Weekend activities in-clude books from a well-stocked library. Like the detention center for adults, this juvenile center has ani-mals: goats for the boys and rabbits for the girls. Ani-mals provide companion-ship and are good listeners. And the goats eat the grass.
Employees are dedicated to the kids. The facility is not a place full of criminals, but a place full of children who de-serve second chances.
They are kids and kids make mistakes; that is what makes them human. This is why Judge Irwin calls this detention center the ultimate court of second chances.

defendant a second chance.
