By Shannon CareyIt all started with a thought and a

bologna sandwich.At least, that’s how Rick Carnes

of Clinton Highway Wrecker Ser-vice told it. Carnes, Dr. Donald Wegener of Powell Chiropractic and Gary Cunningham of Frontier Communications, all leaders in the early days of the Powell Busi-ness and Professional Association, spoke to the PBPA on Sept. 11, shar-ing their experiences of getting the PBPA off the ground.

Their presentation is the fi rst in a yearlong series celebrating the 30th

anniversary of the PBPA.Carnes said the “thought” began

long before the PBPA’s offi cial start date of September 1982. Carnes, Ralph Teague, Andy Anderson and others would get together over bo-logna sandwiches at Teague Hard-ware and discuss ways to get done what needed doing.

“That was the seed that was planted, was that bologna sand-wich,” Carnes said.

The PBPA later moved to the Cat-fi sh Cabin for meetings and now meets at Jubilee Banquet Facility.

Man and Woman of the Year com-mittee since 1984, said for him, the PBPA is about relationships. He be-came a PBPA member in 1983, and he was impressed by the group’s recognition of community members. That year, the honorees were Powell Middle School teacher June Goforth and J.D. Jett of Weigel’s, who Wegen-er called “two great people.”

“Recognizing people who where instrumental in the Powell commu-

nity, that’s one of the things that weas a club ought to be proud of,” hesaid.

Thirtieth anniversary committeechair Daniel Monday said the groupwill hold similar panels throughoutthe year, inviting past presidentsand offi ceholders to speak to thecurrent membership.

West is HallsB&P speaker

Shopper-News columnist Marvin West will be the guest

speaker at the Halls Business and Profes-sional Associa-tion member-ship meeting at noon Tuesday, Sept. 18, at Beaver Brook Country Club.

West is a former sports editor at the Knoxville News Sentinel. He is the author of “Tales of the Tennessee Vols.” All are invited. Lunch is $10.

By Sandra ClarkBeaver Creek is coming back.

“We’re seeing improvement,” said Roy Arthur, watershed coordina-tor for Knox County and resident of Powell.

“We started the restoration fi ve years ago with a 15-year plan. We should see real progress in anoth-er fi ve years.”

Arthur hosted the annual meet-ing of the Beaver Creek Task Force last week at the Hallsdale Powell Utility District. Some 50 individu-als including two from the Environ-mental Protection Agency (EPA) in Atlanta attended.

Vivian Doyle, Tennessee water-shed coordinator for EPA Region 4, is very familiar with what we’re do-ing and is supportive, Arthur said.

HPUD president Darren Card-well spoke about ways the utility has improved water quality, primar-ily through construction of a new wastewater treatment plant on Bea-ver Creek.

Cardwell said in 2000, the district lost more than 40 percent of treated water through leaks. Last year’s wa-ter audit showed a loss of 26 percent.

In 2000, HPUD had 120 miles of galvanized water lines. “Today we’ve cut that number by 75 percent,” he said.

Cardwell said without the insta-

lation of 20- and 24-inch water lines on Emory Road the construction of Tennova North and its affi liated businesses would not have been pos-sible.

The task force toured fi ve facili-

ties: HPUD’s new headquarters, Ar-thur’s stream restoration project at the Halls Comunity Park, the Halls Outdoor Classroom, the Brickey-McCloud stormwater wetland which HPUD built to fi lter runoff from school property, and the Powell Sta-tion Park Rain Garden.

Is there hope that Beaver Creek can get off the state’s list of im-paired streams?

Absolutely, said Arthur.Already a tributary, Cox Creek

which feeds into Beaver Creek near Mill Run subdivision in Halls, has been “delisted.” A segment of Bull Run Creek has been delisted as well after improvements to nearby farms kept waste out of the creek.

The Beaver Creek Task Force is a consortium of businesses and agencies that which meet occa-sionally to catch up.

Arthur said three big projects are ahead:

■ Knox County will be repair-ing 1,200 feet of stream near Cox Creek between Brown Gap and Crippen roads in Halls.

■ Knox County and a home-owners association are collaborat-ing to alleviate fl ooding at Cedar Crossing subdivision and the Vil-las at Cedar Crossing. The design bid closed Sept. 14 and the design should be fi nished in six weeks, Arthur said.

The county will install a bio-retention facility on the com-munity’s common area that will capture the fi rst inch of rainfall. The homeowners association will install a pavilion and lighting, he said. “They are creating their own mini-park.”

Additionally, the county contract-ed with Dr. Andrea Ludwick of UT’s bio-system engineering and soil sci-ence department to collect rainfall.

■ The third project is at Karns in the Painter Farm subdivision where Knox County is working with the Legacy Parks Foundation to develop a stormwater demon-stration site on 11 acres.

“Now all the runoff goes straight into Beaver Creek,” Arthur said. “We’ll start grading and stabiliz-ing that site next month. When fi n-ished it will resemble what HPUD did at Brickey-McCloud.”

Ed Smith has lived in Broadacres for a long time. The retired employee of Associated Press says he will continue as president of the Broadacres Homeowners Association until he reaches the membership plateau that means he’s leaving the group better than he found it.

Ed likes his old brown truck, saying he bought it used and in mint condition. After a few weeks, he had dented the hood, busted a taillight and been rear-ended. “It still runs great,” he said.

He got that Bill Haslam window sticker after he walked the gubernatorial candidate through Broadacres. He recalls getting up really early to meet Haslam. As he left, wife Vicki said, “Do not bring that man here.”

Of course, the first stop was Ed’s own house. He hid behind a shrub as a surprised Vicki opened the door to confront the future governor.

Ed and Vicki landscape the entrances to Broadacres. Both are all-around good neighbors.

Ed has survived brain surgery. He is also a longtime employee at the Knox County Clerk’s office. He’s a longtime Powell community activist and is an enthusiastic supporter of U.S. Rep. John Duncan.

Sit with a cup of coffee and get to know Ed Smith:

By Sandra ClarkJim Hill made a few re-

marks before he leaves the board of the Hallsdale Pow-ell Utility District where he has served since 1974.

Mayor Tim Burchett re-jected HPUD’s three nomi-nees, forcing the utility to submit another list of three.

Lawyer Bud Gilbert told the HPUD commissioners Burchett can select a com-missioner off the next list or can again reject the nomi-nees. To prevent a stale-

mate, state law requires the county mayor to select from a possible third list of nomi-nees or the top name on that list automatically gets a four-year term.

Interested persons should contact CEO Darren Cardwell to obtain an ap-plication. The existing com-missioners will evaluate nominees and select a list of three. Commissioners earn $350 per month.

Hill called the commis-sioner’s job “thankless,” but

said it was a great hon-or to have served. He said HPUD has “top-notch peo-ple doing a fabulous job.”

He paid tribute to former managers Allan Gill and Marvin Ham-mond and “all the commis-sioners with whom I’ve served.”

Hill called for a review of the district’s pension plan, “a fair salary scale,” and a look at staff training and professional develop-ment. He suggested a rate review to “give a break” to seniors and people on fixed incomes and said a merger with another util-ity might lead to shared costs and savings.

In August, HPUD set 27 water meters and inspect-ed 20 sewer hookups. The district treated 247.9 mil-

lion gallons of water and 175.7 million gallons of wastewater.

Last Monday, commis-sioners OK’d a final pay-ment of $74,061 to Merit Construction for basin repairs at the Melton Hill Water Treatment Plant and set the next meeting for 1:30 p.m. Monday, Oct. 8.

CEO Darren Cardwell said more than 300 people had applied for two jobs in customer service.

Recovering artBy Cindy Taylor

Clay Worthley, aka Papa Clay, uses items that others no longer consider valu-able to make one-of-a-kind necklaces. But he says his handmade jewelry is more than an expression of his craft. As a recovering alco-holic, Worthley says his life has been repurposed, just like the jewelry he designs.

A close up of one of Worth-

ley’s repurposed necklaces.

found on the front porch of

the Union County Arts Coop-

erative strumming his guitar

and singing. Photo by C. Taylor

“Art helped me clean up my life. I have been clean and sober for 12 years now,” he said. “I want to give back to the communi-ty, so I chair AA meetings and donate my jewelry whenever anyone needs it for a fundraiser.”

Worthley comes from a long line of musicians, artists and entertainers but started creating his own art about a year ago. He says his “Unity” neck-laces were never meant

to be anything other than a way to keep his hands busy and keep him out of trouble. He and wife Deb-orah, who Worthley says is his rock, were visiting the Arts Co-op when owner Susan Boone invited him to place his necklaces there to sell.

“I find old jewelry at f lea markets and estate sales for cheap, take it apart, clean it up and give it new life,” he said. “It’s not about making a profit. I like help-ing other people when they need something.”

Worthley enjoys his art but he also loves playing guitar and singing. He can often be found picking and singing with friends on the front porch of the Arts Co-op. Even though he has been plagued by health is-sues, he says moving to Union County has helped him start a new chapter in his life.

“Everything happens for a reason, but, wow, what a blessed life God has given me,” said Worthley, who helps raise money for homeless veterans, plays at sober dances for local recovery clubs and do-

nates his time, resources, music and jewelry to his home church to support youth missions.

Worthley’s art is for sale at the Union County Arts Co-op. You never know, you could end up purchasing a piece of re-covered history.

When Democratic leg-islative candidate Gloria Johnson fi les her next fi -nancial disclosure report, she might list the Republi-can controlled Knox County Election Commission as an “in kind donation” for “campaign publicity and exposure with high value.”

Why?The closure of the Belle

Morris voting precinct, in the heart of state House District 13, has been a political gift which keeps on giving. It has kept John-son’s name before the pub-lic all summer and all with-out her spending a dime.

Johnson’s name and photo appear in articles and on television. This has been going on since summer. Meanwhile, her Republican opponent, Gary Loe, has been as quiet as a church mouse. While Loe had nothing to do with the deci-sion to close the voting site, he has not voiced a word in opposition to it either.

The fi ve members of the Knox County Election Commission are all politi-cally appointed. In reality the Knox state legislators of both parties recommend the Democrats and Repub-licans to serve. Since the GOP controls the legisla-ture they also control each of the county election com-missions. Attorney Chris Heagerty serves as chair.

Personally, I do not think the EC closed Belle Morris as a partisan gesture. In fact, Democrat Cassandra Stuart voted at fi rst with the Republicans to close the precinct at the recom-mendation of Cliff Rodgers, administrator of elections. She has since learned from local Democrats that she needs to support keeping Belle Morris open as a vot-ing site.

However, it is clear the election staff and GOP commissioners never seri-ously considered the politi-cal consequences of their action. Had they done so, surely they would have postponed this controver-sial decision to 2013. They never considered that the Democratic party chair, Gloria Johnson, lived there and would make it a public issue, along with former County Commissioner Mark Harmon. Both know a good news story and how to work it. Even the Knox County Commission de-bated this.

The Johnson-Loe contest is considered close. The seat is now held by Demo-crat Harry Tindell. As few as 500 votes out of 10,000 votes cast could separate the winner from the loser. Independent Nick Cazana is on the ballot, too.

Thanks, guys!

The closure has surely stirred up a hornet’s nest. While few who live outside the former Belle Morris precinct may care about its closure, it has generated countywide attention. Belle Morris has always been a bellwether ward. It could go Democratic or Republican.

This November, voter turnout will be high and voters normally accus-tomed to voting at Belle Morris may resent having to go elsewhere to vote.

Not only has Johnson gotten free media, she has been seen as a champion of transparency for the Elec-tion Commission which meets inconveniently at 8 a.m. most times. The com-mission never met in the area to seek public input. And a recent public meeting resulted in heated personal words between commis-sioners and Harmon.

Since the stated reason for closing Belle Morris was lack of access for the dis-abled, that has triggered ar-ticles on the disabled voting in Knoxville and once again Johnson is mentioned. The most recent story focused on highly popular and respected Appeals Judge Charles Susano and how he votes with his disability.

Of course, there are other issues which the win-ner will actually vote on in Nashville such as taxes, schools, vouchers, parks, transportation and green-ways not to mention local government mandates and health care.

These issues have been sidetracked. Perhaps in the next four weeks leading up to early voting, they will surface – perhaps in a de-bate at Belle Morris School.

If Johnson wins, a thank you note should go to the Election Commission.

Briggs brings back billboard banOn Monday, Sept. 24,

County Commissioner Richard Briggs will be bringing a billboard ban back to his colleagues.

It’s no secret that Briggs doesn’t care for billboards, especially the ones with blinky lights that stand close to neighborhoods. He started working to regu-late them almost as soon as he took offi ce in 2008, and wanted to ban any new billboards in order to bring the county in step with the city, which enacted a mora-torium in 2001. He said he has had many constituent requests for the measure.

“In 2008, I had a reso-lution for a moratorium on permits for new bill-boards,” he said. “It was a ban on conversion of ex-isting billboards to digital billboards. I think there are six (of the digital bill-

boards) in Knox County.”Four years later, he

doesn’t stint on colorful lan-guage to describe his feel-ings about billboards.

“There’s that big one along the interstate at Crossville. You can see it fl ashing three miles away. Can you imagine living any-where near that? I personal-ly fi nd digital billboards the most obnoxious,” he said.

“We already have so many billboards close to neighborhoods and they project so much light, for such a distance. They pro-duce a kaleidoscope of lights fl ashing across your

backyard. Orange, purple, red – imagine what it’s like to have those lights fl ashing in your bedroom window all night long.”

But that’s not the only problem that bothers Dr. Briggs.

Safety is as big an issue as aesthetics, he said. EMCs and digital billboards are distracting to passing mo-torists.

“I think we have enough driving distractions already with cellphones, etc.,” he said.

So on Sept. 24, Briggs will bring another ban to his commission colleagues. This one will be more com-prehensive, and he plans to do it in three separate mea-sures: one to ban all new billboards in Knox County; another to prohibit conver-sions of traditional bill-boards to digital billboards;

the other to ban all electron-ic message centers (EMCs).

Last February, the Met-ropolitan Planning Com-mission presented a bill-board ban to County Com-mission that would prohibit new outdoor advertising not attached to buildings and grandfather in existing bill-boards.

County Commission was preparing to enter a diffi cult round of budget hearings and voted to defer the MPC proposal.

Briggs is concerned that there might be some pro-cedural diffi culties recon-ciling his proposal with the MPC plan.

“I wish they would just withdraw their plan,” he said.

Expect to see billboard companies in full force to keep their industry alive and moving toward digital technology.

And be prepared for a long day at County Com-mission.

Cell towers win at MPCTwo more wireless com-

munications towers will be built in North Knox follow-ing action by the Metropoli-tan Planning Commission last week. Objecting neigh-bors have 15 days to appeal to City Council, but it’s un-likely the MPC decision will be overturned.

That’s because, as MPC Deputy Director Buz John-son said, “We have very lit-tle wiggle room.”

He said Federal Commu-nications Commission (FCC) guidelines limit local restric-tions on cell tower locations.

That did not stop Bob Wolfenbarger and the Alice Bell Spring Hill Homeown-ers Association from op-posing a 150-foot monopole

tower at the intersection of Washington Pike and South Mall Road where the com-munity has landscaped and installed a “welcome” sign.

“This is not a NIMBY (not in my backyard) issue,” said Wolfenbarger. “This (sign) is literally on our front porch.”

But MPC commissioner Bart Carey said the Alice Bell Spring Hill community lost its backyard and front porch with the construction of I-640.

Jean Greer presented a petition signed by 180 residents in opposition to a proposed 195-foot mono-pole tower on land owned by Trinity Church.

Greer said the tower will be “literally feet” from the en-trance to Sterchi School. Of-fi cials from U.S. Cellular said the company could make do with a 170-foot tower.

Both items passed with only Jack Sharp voting no.

New members were wel-comed to MPC: the Rev. Charles F. Lomax Jr., Janice Tocher, Len Johnson and Herbert Anders.

Leaving MPC are Robert Anders, Ursula Bailey, Stan Johnson and Robert “Mose” Lobetti.

By Anne HartLongtime party activist

Ruthie Kuhlman is presi-dent of West Knox Repub-lican Club, replacing Gary Loe, a candidate for the state House in District 13.

Loe had resigned the position, saying that he is working to represent all residents of the 13th Dis-trict and feels it is inappro-priate for him to remain as chair of a purely partisan organization.

Loe’s opponents in the general election are Gloria Johnson, chair of the Knox County Democratic Party, and independent Nick Ca-zana.

State GOP chair Chris Devaney said the major goals of the state party this year are to re-elect U.S. Sen. Bob Corker and U.S.

Rep. John Duncan, to add two Republican members to the state House and two Republican members to the state Senate “to provide a walkout-proof quorum,” and to elect Mitt Romney president.

Devaney said the Demo-cratic Party on the state level “is supporting Gloria Johnson as a last stand, but we all know we can’t elect people like Barack Obama and Gloria John-son. We need Gary Loe in Nashville.”

Loe recently received the endorsement of the National Federation of In-dependent Business, based on his positions and record on small business issues.

Loe called the endorse-ment critical to his cam-paign. “Small business

owners and their employ-ees vote in high numbers and are known for actively recruiting friends, fam-ily members and acquain-tances to go to the polls. NFIB has pledged it will activate its grassroots net-work on behalf of my cam-paign.”

Upcoming Loe events: ■ Wednesday at noon, Jim

Haslam and House Speaker Beth Harwell will sponsor a

fundraiser luncheon at Club LeConte. Cost is $100 per couple, $250 to host and $500 to sponsor.

■ Tuesday, Sept. 25, 11:30 a.m., Howard and Kenny Phil-lips will host a fundraiser for Loe and other GOP candi-dates at Powell Auction on Pleasant Ridge Road. There is no charge.

■ From 5-7:30 that day, a $100 per couple fundraiser at The Orangery. The Brad Walk-er Orchestra will play.

TALES OF TENNESSEE | Marvin West

Good friend Carl, im-pressed by the possibil-

ities of Tennessee playmak-ers, said wouldn’t it have been something if Da’Rick had been a boy scout and Janzen Jackson had run away from trouble.

Sad that two all-Ameri-cans were wasted. Oh, the things that might have been.

Rearranging history is a splendid idea. Let’s waste four minutes playing “what if?”

What if Justin Hunter and Tyler Bray had not been injured last season? Indeed, they and Jackson might have saved a game or three. Last year would not have been this year but the hole would not have been quite so deep.

You can take “what if?” and “might have been” any-where you want to go, all the way back to the second be-ginning.

What if Captain Robert Reese Neyland, 33, too tall in the spring of 1925 for his little grey desk at the U.S. Military Academy, had re-mained on duty and surren-dered his idea of applying military tactics to football?

What if he had been less logical in seeking employ-ment? He had heard about comparable openings. He studied a map and concluded that Iowa was probably sur-rounded by corn and cows. There might be people scat-tered around East Tennessee.

He had seen some Vol-unteer hillbillies two years earlier. They came to West Point. They brought their own barrel of home-grown apples as snacks. They lost, 41-0.

Neyland suspected Ten-nessee had no way to go but up.

What would have hap-pened if Bowden Wyatt had mothballed the single-wing, installed the T formation and successfully recruited quarterbacks Steve Spur-rier from Johnson City and Steve Sloan from Cleveland?

A historic crossroads ran through a smoke-fi lled room, early December 1963 athletic board meeting. What if Murray Warmath advocates had won that late-night debate and Bob Wood-ruff had been discarded? Who else knew Arkansas assistant Doug Dickey had great leadership potential?

What if Tom Fisher, 1965

“I don’t think much in terms of forgiveness,” my friend said.

I was stunned. I had been the one asking for the forgiveness and do-ing so in earnest. To have it brushed aside was a shock. To have it, in es-sence, refused was un-imaginable to me.

How does the world go on if we don’t ask and re-ceive (as well as be asked for and grant) forgive-ness?

There is a humility re-quired to ask for forgive-ness. One has to be pre-pared to say, “I was wrong. I should not have said [or done or allowed or thought] that.”

The concept of for-giveness runs through-out the Prophets and the Gospels and Epistles.

I wondered, though, where in the Bible the concept first appeared. Turns out, we get all the way to the last chapter of Genesis before the word “forgive” appears.

The scene features Jo-seph, now prime minister of Egypt, and his miser-able brothers who sold him into slavery because of their jealousy. Their father Jacob is dead, and the brothers realize that now there is no one stand-ing between them and their powerful brother, who surely must hold a monumental grudge for the way they planned fi rst to murder him and then settled for selling him to some passing Egyptians and lying to their father about it.

It is here that the broth-

How to

forgive

Realizing that their father was dead, Joseph’s brothers said, “What if Joseph still bears a grudge against us and pays us back in full for the wrong that we did to him?” So they approached Joseph, saying, “Your father gave this instruction before he died, ‘Say to Joseph: I beg you forgive the crime of your brothers and the wrong they did in harming you.’ Now therefore please forgive the crime of the servants of the God of your father.” Joseph wept when they spoke to him.

ers tell Joseph that Jacob had sent word before his death that he (Joseph) should forgive his broth-ers the wrongs they com-mitted against him. We are left in the dark, just as Joseph is, as to the truth-fulness of this claim. The Bible does not record that Jacob actually said such a thing.

But Joseph is a better man than his brothers, and declines to be their judge and jury. “Don’t be afraid,” he reassures them. “Am I in the place of God? You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the sav-ing of many lives.”

The “take-away les-sons” from this story are several:

Sometimes scoundrels get away with it.

Forgiveness is a heal-thy thing.

God is God and we are not.

The other thing I can’t help noticing is that God can take a horrible situa-tion and redeem it. When humans mess up God’s plans, God’s order, God can fi nd a way to turn it to good. God did it then, and God now works at it every day.

linebacker with awesome skills, had not died in an auto accident on his way back to campus from spring break? More than once, the other line-backer, Frank Emanuel, said Fisher had more ability. Emanu-el is in the Col-lege Football Hall of Fame.

What if Dickey had stayed longer?

What if a better support-ing cast had surrounded Stanley Morgan? He might have won the 1976 Heisman Trophy. He was the focal point out of necessity. He holds the UT record for ca-reer all-purpose yards.

What might have hap-pened if Chuck Webb, 5-10 and 195, had retained two good legs? Webb had power, quickness, balance, speed and could see things be-fore they happened. He had a good game against Ole Miss, 294 yards rushing. He played pretty well, 250

yards, against Arkansas in the 1990 Cotton Bowl.

What if John Majors had remained healthy and rea-sonably happy? What if he had taken off all of 1992, regained full strength and coached another eight or 10 years at Tennessee?

Would Phillip Fulmer have made it to the Hall of Fame from another di-rection? Without Fulmer and David Cutcliffe, where would Peyton Manning have gone? Ouch.

Old Timers’ Day at Mount Harmony BaptistBy Theresa Edwards

Mount Harmony Baptist Church in Heiskell celebrated “Old Timers’ Day” with a spe-cial historical presentation about the church and commu-nity by Dan West, music and a picnic-style dinner outdoors.

“I really enjoyed hear-ing about the history of the

church,” said Tony Thomp-son before he sang. “There’s a lot of wonderful history and wonderful people who made up the church.”

The Rev. Bradford De-Marcus was the fi rst church pastor, serving 1849-1899. “It’s remarkable that one man would serve that many years

in one church,” said West.Michael Parsley is the cur-

rent pastor. He explained that it is the ancestors of those attending the celebra-tion who set the foundations for the church and commu-nity. Many are buried in the cemetery nearby. The land for the cemetery and church

were donated by Samuel Wil-liams, the great-great-great-grandfather of church mem-ber Les Williams.

The church invites the community to its fall rum-mage sale 8 a.m. Oct. 5-6. Mount Harmony Baptist Church is located at 819 Rac-coon Valley Road in Heiskell.

Benefi t concert at Trinity ChapelBy Cindy Taylor

Meghann and Derrick Overholt will host a fund-raiser 5 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 22, at Trinity Chapel to cel-ebrate the life and memory of their son, Elisha, who passed in 2011. Proceeds will go to East Tennessee Children’s Hospital.

Meghann grew up in Halls and Derrick is from the Gibbs/Corryton area. The couple met at Trinity Chapel and married in De-cember 2006. They hadn’t planned to start a family until five years into their marriage, but after only three years the couple had a change of heart.

We decided that we should trust God and have faith that the timing would be just right,” said Meghann. “I found out I was pregnant in January 2010. We were so excited.”

After an uneventful pregnancy and birth the couple brought home their beautiful baby boy, Elisha Israel, on Sept. 24, 2010.

During the fi rst 24-hour check-up a nurse noticed that Elisha’s breathing was too fast. The family was sent to the ER at Children’s Hospital and Elisha was ad-mitted when the physicians found an abnormality with his heart. This was only the fi rst round of bad news the family would receive in the coming months.

“We went from having a perfectly normal pregnan-cy and a wonderful birth to a mother’s worst nightmare in a matter of seconds,” said Meghann. “But Elisha smiled and laughed and played like nothing in the world was bothering him.”

Elisha was in the NICU for seven days where doc-tors discovered other

health issues: meconium aspiration syndrome, hearing loss, a blood dis-order, undescended tes-ticles and several different heart problems. On July 14, 2011, Elisha under-went open heart surgery at Vanderbilt Children’s Hos-pital but went into cardiac arrest and did not survive the surgery.

“We were with Elisha when he took his first breath and we were with him when he breathed his last,” said Meghann.

Through Elisha’s pass-ing the couple says God has used them to lead two family members to Christ and provided several coun-seling opportunities.

“We still struggle with Elisha’s death but we know that God is with us,” said Meghann. “God gave His own son so He under-stands completely what we are going through.”

“When we were in NICU at Children’s, we were treated so well and

they made the room feel more like a home than a hospital,” said Derrick. “When we asked how they were able to supply all the snacks and blankets, we were told they were pri-vately donated.”

Through the generosity of their church and East Tennessee Children’s Hos-pital, the couple was left with no medical bills or fu-neral expenses.

With this fundraiser they hope to minister to other families who spend time in NICU. Musicians who are volunteering their time and a portion of the proceeds from CD sales are Seth Bu-chanan, Heart to Heart and Eternal Vision. Food for sale will be donated by Sam and Andy’s with all proceeds go-ing to the hospital.

Trinity Chapel is located at 5830 Haynes Sterchi Road. Admission will be two new receiving blankets or a minimum donation of $5. All are invited to come and eat and stay for the music.

Hallsdale-Powell Utility DistrictSeeks Applicants

For Nomination to its Board of Commissioners

Hallsdale-Powell Utility District (HPUD) is now accepting applications for possible nomination as a member of the HPUD Board of Commissioners. HPUD’s Board of Com-missioners is comprised of three commissioners, who are each appointed by the Knox County Mayor for a staggered four-year term from a list of three nominees selected by the current HPUD Board of Commissioners.

HPUD’s Board of Commissioners is vested with the general power and authority over the utility district, which is managed and operated on a day-to-day basis by the utility district’s president/chief executive offi cer and who has responsibility and oversight for the utility district’s employ-ees and operations. Besides selecting the utility district’s president/chief executive offi cer, duties of the HPUD Board of Commissioners include attending all regular monthly meetings and, when called, special meetings of the HPUD Board of Commissioners, adopting an annual budget for the utility district’s operations, setting all rates for water and wastewater services provided by the utility district, and es-tablishing and approving all rules, regulations, policies and procedures necessary for the utility district’s operations. An HPUD Commissioner must also attend a minimum number of certifi ed training hours during his or her ap-pointed term as required by state law.

HPUD is one of Tennessee’s largest utility districts, which are treated as governmental entities under state law. HPUD serves water and wastewater service to over 29,075 custom-ers in the north Knox County area (including portions of Union County and Anderson County) with an operating budget in excess of $29.1 million for its most recent fi scal year and a current capital budget in excess of $12.8 million. To apply for possible nomination to the HPUD Board of Commissioners, you must be at least 25 years old and either an HPUD customer within the district’s boundaries or reside within the utility district’s boundaries.

Applications for possible nomination to the HPUD Board of Commissioners may be obtained at HPUD’s main offi ce at 3745 Cunningham Rd Knoxville, Tennessee 37918; by calling HPUD at 865-922-7547; on HPUD’s web site www.hpud.org; or by fax request at 865-922-8428.

A dayat the fairBy Ruth White

The cooler temperatures, the smell of fall in the air, the sounds of football and the fair. Just a few things that occur in Knox County each September.

I have covered the fair for the Shopper for several years and usually attend on the day that they honor senior adults and special friends. Honestly, I like to dart in, snap a few photos and head back to the offi ce.

This year, I decided to walk around the fairgrounds and I saw the popular event with a new pair of eyes.

The fi rst stop of the day was at the booth featuring candy apples made by the members at Fairview United Method-ist Church. Members have been creating this treat for 60 years, and visiting with Roy Hodge was worth the trip.

Hodge was all smiles as he sold apples for just $1 each. “It’s not about making money,” he said, “it’s about fellowship with friends, meet-ing people and giving to oth-ers.” The money raised is used for mission work through the

fair. Photos by Ruth White

The second place winner in the culinary arts category was

a puppy dog cake and the Best of Show ribbon went to a

canning entry.

Enjoying a ride at the fair on Senior Adult Day are Edith Smith

and Vernia Colbert.

The trip to the fair wouldn’t be complete without enjoying at

least one ride. Marian Bailey and Ramona Burum take a spin.

church. “There is always a need greater than us.”

Once my apple was pur-chased, named Best Apple at the fair for the year 2012, I headed into the Jacob Build-ing to see the displays and chat with vendors.

Inside displays from area schools feature work from students who are skilled in cosmetology, auto mechanics and more.

The photography contest features beautiful pictures taken by individuals of a wide age range and creative eye. Some of my favorite dis-plays were the cake decorat-ing contest, the jellies and jams and the homemade bread entries. The gingham ribbons for the culinary arts entries brought visions of a small town county fair and sweet memories of long ago.

The next stop was the Kerr Building to view home items, including quilts, scrapbooks, fl owers and more. First was Nancy Larson, creating hats for newborns. Larson was dressed in a long dress and kicked her feet up and re-laxed while creating.

Hanging high above the fl oor was a quilt with a fi rst place ribbon. That prize winner was made by North Knox resident Lee Hoskins. In the background were doz-ens of women making fabric squares and forming a quilt that was sure to become a treasured heirloom.

Behind the Jacob Build-ing was the rabbit and poul-try building. This isn’t a place I would usually visit (thanks to my allergies) but the beauty of the old white barn drew me to investigate more closely. The three-

story barn, with its peeling paint, was a sight with the beautiful blue sky in the background. One worker said that the barn was built using the wood from one of the old roller coasters from the early 1900s. Whether there is truth to the tale or not, it made a great story for such a grand structure.

The last stop was at the tractor exhibit up on the hill under the big shade trees. The tractors take me back to my younger days growing up in Oklahoma, and I love chat-

ting with the people relaxing by their tractors. Some sit and chat with one another while others host demonstrations or whittle the day away.

As I headed back down the midway on my way out, I heard the clacking of one of the rides in the distance. I turned and saw four women laughing and enjoying the day as they went round and round on a smaller coaster. It was evident that they were hav-ing the time of their lives and I, for one, will forever see the fair in a new, brighter light.

Shopper-News Presents Miracle Makers

By Jake Mabe

J im Porter makes it clear quickly. He’s just one spoke in the wheel at Powell High School. His job, he says, depends on others

– teachers, guidance counselors, staff members, principal Ken Dunlap. Por-ter says the graduation coach at Pow-ell High is “a jack of all trades” and he calls it a work in progress.

Porter began the role last school year by teaching two recovery credit classes and meeting with students with academic diffi culties during the other two class periods. This year, he’s teaching three classes. He works with sophomores, juniors and seniors at the beginning of the school year and starts working with freshmen after their fi rst semester.

“We start as early as we can, identi-fying students who might need (extra help). Teachers refer students to me and we ask, ‘is this student on track to graduate and, if not, what do we need to do to get them on track?’ And we’ve had some great fi nds, students who might have fallen through the cracks otherwise.

“Getting them here? That’s over half the battle right there. If they’re not here, we can’t teach them. Our goal is to get them to that diploma. And we’d love to give it to them here at Powell High School, or if that means them going to the (Kelley Academy) or to the adult high school. As long as we can keep them think-ing about the high school diploma, that’s what I’m after.”

Online courses are sometimes used in the recovery credit classes. They are self-paced programs that include courses required for graduation.

“Last spring, we had a student who had two weeks until deadline for graduation who still hadn’t taken English IV. Working day and night (online), the student got it done. That student was very much an ex-ception, an above average student to begin with. But, students can take the online classes and work on them at home and in school in recovery credit classes. We also had one stu-dent who gained three credits on top of the classes they were taking, so they walked out of the semester with 11 credits instead of eight.”

Something is working. This year, Powell was the only high school in Knox County to be named a Rewards School by Gov. Bill Haslam for being among the top fi ve percent of schools in the state in annual growth.

Porter again gives credit to the entire school staff, saying students receive help from all of them.

Porter says staff makes the difference at Powell High

One spoke in the wheel

“(Powell) is the only school I’ve ever taught at. It’s evolved in differ-ent ways, but people (always) em-brace not only our traditions but the camaraderie of the school. We’re not afraid to share ideas and help each other out.”

Porter says he visits a lot of class-rooms during the course of his day.

“One of Mr. Dunlap’s famous phrases is ‘Go teach like your hair is on fi re.’ Every time I go into a classroom, these teachers are teaching. They care about the stu-dents and they care about the fact that we’re trying to get them to graduation. But, with that big goal in mind, they’re also trying to get them to learn. It’s not just about earning a credit, it’s also about learning (the subject).”

Porter says teaching has never and will never be just an eight-hour job.

“You do carry it with you. Teach-ers bring papers home to grade after they’ve had family time. And you go to bed thinking about it and you wake up thinking about it.”

Joking that he’s willing to steal any good idea, Porter says the school might implement something simi-lar to Carter High School’s Hornet Watch, which tracks the potential graduation rate of each class based on the number of credits each stu-dent has earned plus real-time data.

“Carter used it to identify the most at-risk kids in each grade level. It’s just a tool to help us identify where we stand.”

Saying, “We try to build the kids up,” Porter adds that the school also

holds drawings for students with perfect attendance, for example, and gives them various donations from local businesses.

He says if he knew nearly 30 years ago what he knows now, he would have become a guidance counselor.

“There are times when you don’t succeed. But there are great times when you see a student that just blossoms, just comes alive, even if it’s at the last minute, and they make it happen and get through high school. More likely than not, they continue on with their education.”

And, with that, Jim Porter tries to duck getting his picture taken, says he doesn’t want to be singled out and repeats for the 100th time that he’s but one member of a great staff at Powell High School.

School

The last time Powell lost a regular season game, most of Powell’s football players were in middle school. Now, three years later, Powell’s regular season win streak of 25 games has been snapped.

A 21-3 loss to the Wild-

All good things must end

cats of Oak Ridge gave the Panthers their first district loss since Oct. 9, 2009, at Clinton.

Powell started with a 3-0 lead, thanks to a 29-yard fi eld goal from Austin Rog-ers. But a fake punt by the

Wildcats changed the game. Momentum shifted after the fake led to a fi rst down and, eventually, an Oak Ridge touchdown. From there, the Wildcats took over and cruised to a 21-3 victory on their home turf.

The mighty Panthers that were 55-12 victors over rival Halls were ex-posed for the first time in a long time.

Powell dropped to 3-1 on the season and 1-1 in district play, with Oak Ridge ad-vancing to the district’s top spot with a 3-0 overall re-cord and a 2-0 district mark. The Wildcats were ranked No. 7 in 6A rankings.

Though the Panthers lost, the future is far from dim. Powell headed back to Scar-bro Stadium to take on the

Anderson County Maver-icks last Friday. It’s a team they’ve beaten two years in a row by a margin of 97-28 in the regular season. Although the results were not known at press time, give the Pan-thers the mental edge at home in this contest.

Powell will travel up Emory Road to take on the Karns High Beavers this Friday at 7:30 p.m.

Against Oak Ridge, the Panthers gave up 225 yards in rushing – an abso-lutely staggering statistic for Powell’s usually hard-nosed defense. And despite over 225 yards in rushing, two-thirds of Oak Ridge’s points came from passing. Powell’s defense has been characterized by good play and containment of both

Volleyball: The Pan-ther volleyball team is looking to get things roll-ing in district play. The team, currently 0-4 in dis-trict matches, has its next district match at home against the Central Bob-cats on Sept. 19. The Pan-thers will host district foe Halls on Sept. 25.

Looking forward, coach Michael Blair believes the team’s issues are minor and very fixable.

“The girls are playing hard; we’re just not get-ting the finish we would like right now,” said Blair. Team unity has been a big factor in the team’s less-than-optimal district play, he said.

“We need to improve on team communication on the court and we will be fi ne.”

Ron Clark to speak about educationReach Them to Teach Them, a nonprofit organization

which provides inspirational seminars to area educa-tors, will host “America’s Educator” Ron Clark at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 30, at the Tennessee Theatre.

Members of the community can sponsor a teacher’s admission to the event with a $20 donation through the “Tag it for a Teacher” campaign. The name of the spon-sor will appear on the teacher’s seat at the event.

Donors who sponsor 10 or more teachers will be rec-ognized at a special dinner prior to the event and also during the event.

In 2000, Ron Clark was named Disney’s “American Teacher of the Year.” His teaching experiences are the subject of the film “The Ron Clark Story” starring Matthew Perry. Info: reachthem2teachthem.org.

The fall session of the HALT program (Humans and Animals Learning Together) has officially begun. In just a few short weeks, there will be five adorable canines ready to be adopted. The best part is that all five will have been taught some pretty good manners by really cool kids.

HALT matches at-risk adolescents with shel-ter animals rescued from Young-Williams Animal Center. The selected dogs initially receive vaccina-tions, spaying or neutering, and a mental and physical evaluation. The student in-structors are hand-picked by the staff from local resi-dential treatment centers where they are staying.

According to HALT publicity coordinator Pen-ny Williams, volunteers, along with a canine obe-dience instructor, help the students teach basic obedi-ence, which in turn teaches the kids assertiveness, pa-tience and communication.

The goal of the program

is to “provide a therapeutic intervention” for the kids while helping animals in need.

The public will have sev-eral chances to meet the animals of HALT, includ-ing 1-4 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 23, at PetSmart on Morrell Road by West Town Mall; 1-4 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 30, at Union Avenue Books, 517 Union Ave.; and 11 a.m.-3 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 7,

at the Fall Furry Festival at Young-Williams’ Division Street location.

Over the last 25 years, HALT has had a pretty successful track record of helping 1,300 adolescents while also finding homes for 329 dogs.

“In January, I decided I did not want my life to continue down the path it was going. I changed my diet that month. In February, I decided I needed to do more. I joined the gym. I am a very nervous person and somewhat introverted. Honestly, I was scared when I fi rst signed up at the gym. I very quickly realized that everyone there is very supportive and not judgmental or intimidating at all.

At theend of February I decided that I still needed more. I signed up to work with a trainer. I was really scared. Within the fi rst 5 minutes I realized that Josh Bilbrey is so supportive and really helps me achieve more each week. I am feeling so much better about myself. My kids are so excited about the changes in me and how I am able to be more involved with them and able to run around with them and ride a bike with them. In 5 and a half months I have lost 58 pounds to date. I could not have achieved this without the help and support of my family and the staff at Workout Anytime Powell. I still have more to go, but I can't wait to see what I am like next January! I can honestly say, you got a member for life! Th ank you all!”~ Laura BoggsIf you put your

mind to it then you too can do it! Yes that really is me!~ Travis Green

What a diff erence a year can make.~ Jennifer Goins

Since I have joined

Workout Anytime, I

have lost over 30 pounds.

I have always been

overweight and always

looked for a quick fi x to

lose weight fast. It didn't

happen. When I would

lose any weight I would

gain it back, plus more.

Th is time I didn't go

into this wanting to lose

weight, but to become

more healthy. I need to

make sure I am here to

watch my kids grow up.

During my fi rst free training session, Dorsey told me about Hard Knox Bootcamp. And

I joined! I can't begin to describe how scared I was, but I was more excited to start my

road to a healthier me. I have never truly exercised before. Th at fi rst night I learned what

a burpee was and that I hate them with a passion! I could not even run for 30 seconds

without stopping. Josh walked beside me that night and told me that I had to take it one

step at a time. I remember telling my husband how nervous I was before every class, my

stomach would be in knots. He told me that I chose to go, no one was forcing me to go.

I knew, at that moment, it was the feeling of accomplishment I felt once I was done with

class that was far greater than the knot in my stomach beforehand. I don't get nervous

anymore, I know now that I can do a lot more than I ever gave myself credit for before.

Th is has defi nitely been more of a spiritual and emotional journey for me than I

bargained for, which is nice. Josh has motivated me and stood beside me the whole

way. He is an awesome trainer and a very special person. Th e friends I have made at

bootcamp are so encouraging and have forever changed my life.

~ Tami Jarreau

Real Clients...REAL RESULTS!

“Workout Anytime Powell has changed my life, and believe me my life needed a change!

I have lost over 100 pounds since joining. John Heifner took me in the fi rst day and

welcomed me with open arms. Th en John introduced me to my personal trainer Josh

Booth, and my journey began. My goals were to get the weight off , live a healthier

lifestyle, extend my life, to like myself,

and to have faith in myself. I soon

realized that when we put our problems

in God's hands, He puts His peace in

our hearts. I can't say exactly when all

this weight came on, but it came on

with a vengeance. I became a couch

potato. It hurt to move...so I didn't. I

couldn't stand for any period of time...

so I didn't. I sat on the sidelines for years.

I was always short of breath, had high

blood pressure, type two diabetes,

high cholesterol, severe sleep apnea...

the list goes on and on. I'm 55 years

old. I have been married to Bob for

36+ years. Th ree kids, and now fi ve

grandchildren. I needed to be realistic.

I was not going to be 110 lbs. and

have the body I had in High school.

I have the bat wings to prove it.

Yes the stretch marks too. Gravity

has taken its toll over the years. But, I

no longer have sleep apnea, my blood pressure medicine has been drastically cut, I

am on 1 pill for diabetes not 5. I'm happy. I have energy. I can walk. I can breath. I roll

around and play with my grand babies. I now have a lap that they can sit on. Th ey say

they love that they can put their arms all around me for hugs. I have been Zip-lining,

hiking, amusement parks, fl ew on a plane without extenders, para-sailing, jet skiing, and

last week took an hour horseback riding. I pray that my testimony will reach all ages and

all sizes people. It is never too late to start living your life healthy. If I have given one

person the will and faith to live a healthier lifestyle... Praise God for I have been truly

blessed.”~ Donna Lee

By Alvin NanceAt KCDC’s August

board meeting, we said goodbye to an extraor-dinary woman who has meant a great

deal to us, Juanita Can-non. She served on the KCDC board of commis-sioners for 18 years, and I am thankful for her dedication to KCDC.

At the meeting, Can-non was honored with a proclamation from Mayor Madeline Rogero declaring Aug. 27 Juanita Cannon Day in Knoxville. Fellow board members including our chair, Cul-ver Schmid, also thanked her for a long, productive service.

Cannon was appoint-ed to the board by Mayor Victor Ashe. He had been looking for someone fa-miliar with public hous-ing, and she fi t the bill, as she lived her younger years in KCDC’s Austin Homes. She character-izes the community as close-knit family and remains in contact with many former Austin Homes neighborhood kids who grew up to be community leaders.

KCDC had many signifi cant achievements while she served on our board. She lists the large-scale Mechanics-ville public housing and

neighborhood revitaliza-tion project and oversee-ing the bidding process for the revitalization of downtown Knoxville and Gay Street as two of her proudest achievements on the board.

A retired school teacher with more than 40 years of experience in Knox County Schools, Cannon takes great pride in her accom-plished former students. She enjoyed pointing them out when they came before the board for awards or commu-nity presentations.

Cannon said she would miss the fellow-ship on the board, as well as the pas-sion each board member

has for providing qual-ity affordable housing to the city of Knoxville and Knox County. She always enjoyed meet-ing board members who went on to become influential members of the community, like Gov. Bill Haslam, Laurens Tullock and so many more.

We are a very close board, and Juanita Cannon will be sorely missed. I am honored to have had the opportunity to cross her path and am grateful for her many years of service to KCDC.

NEWS FROM TEMPLE BAPTIST ACADEMY

By Taryn Jones

Tuesday marked the 11-year anniversary of the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.

Students at Temple Baptist Academy took time to remem-ber the attacks and those who have given their lives fighting the war on terrorism.

Temple Elementary stu-dents gathered around the school’s f lagpole where the f lag was f lying at half-staff. Sixth grader Ben Jones led the group in the Pledge of Al-legiance, after which teach-ers and students sang “God Bless America.” The ceremo-

ny concluded with a prayer asking God for his blessing on our country, our political and military leaders, and the troops defending our nation.

For many of us, we remem-ber where we were and what we were doing 11 years ago. For students, 9/11 is something they are learning about in books. Most students were either very young or not even born when the attacks of 9/11 happened.

Teachers and administra-tors spoke to students recount-ing where they were and what they experienced on that his-toric day. On this anniversary, teachers wanted to spend time

talking to students, answer-ing questions, and telling them about the signifi cance of 9/11 and the resulting impact it has had on our nation to this day.

Principal David Whitaker noted, “I want our students to be challenged to step forward as Christian citizens to make a difference in our country for good and for God. September 11 is a reminder to all of us that no one is guaranteed an-other day. Life is a gift from God and we are stewards of the life he has given us. We must seize every day as an op-portunity with which to serve our God and our country.”

Crusaders volleyball

making stridesBy Michael Scoggins

The Temple High School Crusader

volleyball team began training camp with high expectations. Play-ers and coaches alike shared goals of making a statement this season.

Temple got off to a sol-id start by going 4-2 and taking second place in the season-opening Lady Crusader Volleyball Invi-tational hosted by Crown College. Senior Brittany James, along with ju-niors Keegan McElyea and Abigail Houston, received all-tournament honors. Since the tourna-ment, Temple has gone 4-1 in regular season play including two wins versus TSSAA opponent King’s Academy.

With an emphasis on fundamentals, on-court communication and teamwork, Temple head coach Jared Berry and assistant coach Jessica Motes have positioned Temple as a team to beat this year in the TAACS (Tennessee Athletic As-sociation of Christian Schools).

When asked about the season so far Berry said, “One of our points of

emphasis is playing as one team and eliminat-ing errors. We’ve been our own worst enemies at times and it has cost us points. If we can play together as a unit and reduce the number of unforced errors, then we will come out on top more often than not.”

The Temple Junior High Crusader volley-

ball team is also off to a great start. The junior high team competes in the Knoxville Indepen-dent Sports League. At 7-2, Temple is making a strong push through the schedule with crucial wins versus CAK, Knox-ville Christian, Berean Academy and Maryville Christian, among others.

Coach Taryn Jones

says she has been pleased with how her team has performed, noting how they have shown a lot of effort and persistence.

“One of our goals for this season was for these girls to grow together as a team. They have really worked hard on serving the ball well which has become one of the keys to our success.”
