Potatoes and ice cream?

A big plus for many students and faculty at the beginning of the school year is the ever-pop-ular ice cream social. Mounds of sprinkles, chocolate syrup and cherries cover ice cream as students, teachers and parents bond over their favorite fl avors. Then there’s the occasional mashed potato social …

By Wendy SmithLawyers, it seems, are

slow to talk about judges, even those who are about to leave the bench. But a few brave barristers were willing to share their im-pressions at last week’s Knoxville Bar Associa-tion’s annual Supreme Court Dinner.

City Attorney Charles Swanson was quick with his praise. He described Chancellor Daryl Fansler as “one of the most respon-sible judges in my experi-ence.” Fansler always gave a fair trial without being biased beyond the facts of a case, he said.

Circuit Court Judge Harold Wimberly is an ex-cellent scholar who under-stands the law and enjoyed

the process of applying it, Swanson said.

As a former Knox County Law Director, Circuit Court Judge Dale Workman came to the bench with a broad range of experience. He also brought a sense of hu-manity to the job.

“He empathized with the people before him more than any other judge. He did a great job,” said Swanson.

Steven Lipsey, an attor-ney with Stone & Hinds, served on juries in Wim-berly’s and Workman’s courts. Both did an excel-lent job, he said.

“I learned a lot by sit-ting in the jury box. My service on the juries made me very proud of the legal profession.”

tors’ rights lawyer, Lipsey is in bankruptcy court reg-ularly. He describes U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Rich-ard Stair as intelligent and compassionate with “just

the right temperament to handle cases for people who are experiencing fi -nancial problems.”

Doug Blaze, dean of the UT College of Law, said the

school was fortunate to have Fansler as an adjunct professor, in spite of how diffi cult it was to schedule teaching time around his hunting schedule.

“He is one of the bright-est, best judges.”

Attorney Anne McKin-ney, known for her hats and musical parodies, recalled portraying Knox County Criminal Court JudgeMary Beth Leibowitz at the East Tennessee Society of Professional Journalists’ Front Page Follies. In spite of McKinney’s jab at the judge’s “less than vogue” wardrobe, Leibowitz hap-pily recalls the event.

“She always says, ‘She played me,’” laughed McK-inney.

Catholic celebrationFun, family will mark

the end of silver jubileeBy Betsy Pickle

A year that began with solemni-ty will fi nish on a celebratory note.

The Roman Catholic Diocese of Knoxville wraps up its 25th Anni-versary Jubilee on Saturday with the 2014 Diocesan Homecoming Family Day Celebration and Clos-ing Mass.

Beginning at 10 a.m. on the grounds of Knoxville Catholic High School, 9245 Fox Lonas

Road, the Homecoming will be a day of family fun and fellowship among believers. It will conclude with a 4 p.m. outdoor Mass cele-brated by Bishop Richard Stika on the school’s football fi eld.

There could be quite a crowd; the Diocese has more than 66,000 members in about 50 parishes throughout East Tennessee.

Many of the activities will be ones that are common at all kinds of church and school events – bounce houses, a dunk tank, a climbing wall, sack races, tug of war, volley- New York City Archbishop, Cardinal Timothy Dolan, opens the 25th

By Nancy AndersonVulgar messages painted on

the Karns underpass by rival school supporters sparked a fl urry of social media, coffee shop conversations and late-night painting sessions last week.

What was different about the years-old tradition of trading barbs via the Karns underpass, which is actually owned by CSX railroad, was two-fold: Messages by rivals hit a new level of

vulgarity, and Karns alums began to question the school spirit of today’s student body.

The “I love Karns” Facebook page had as many hits as the football game when messages slurring Karns and supporting Hardin Valley fi rst showed up on Aug. 29. It escalated even more the next week when Powell supporters chimed in with their paint brushes.

It wasn’t so much what was The message that greeted drivers

ball, softball and other ath-letic competitions. There will also be a barbecue contest. Go for the face painting – stay for the “human hamster rolling cage ball.”

The event is free, though registration is requested at www.dioknox.org/home-coming. A catered lunch will be provided by Domino’s, and water will be available throughout the day courtesy of Sam’s Club.

The Silver Anniversary Celebration kicked off Sept. 13-14, 2013, when the Dio-cese hosted a Eucharistic Congress in Sevier County. The Mass was celebrated by Bishop Stika, and the key-note speaker was New York City Archbishop Cardinal Timothy Dolan. Other spe-

cial guests included Father Robert Barron and Dr. Scott Hahn.

The Diocese of Knoxville was founded on Sept. 8, 1988.

“Before that, we were part of the Nashville Diocese,” says Jim Wogan, director of communications for the Diocese. “We started with 33,000 Catholics. We now have more than 66,000.”

While a Silver Jubilee sounds impressive, the Knoxville Diocese is actu-ally just a whippersnapper.

“We’re a young, young di-ocese in relative terms,” says Wogan. “Twenty-fi ve years is a blip on the timeline of Catholicism in the United States and the world.”

In comparison, the Dio-

cese of St. Louis was estab-lished in 1826.

“We’re babies, but we’re growing at a rapid rate,” says Wogan.

According to a story in the National Catholic Register from May 2013, Knoxville’s is the 25th-fastest-growing diocese in the nation, and in general Southern dioceses are growing at a rapid rate.

While the bulk of the Homecoming will have a playful tone, it’s important to note that the day will con-clude with Mass.

“It will be what I would say is a fun, family-orient-ed spiritual celebration,” Wogan says of the Home-coming, “and the bishop will culminate the celebra-tory year with Mass.”

The purpose of the Su-preme Court Dinner is to honor the Tennessee Su-preme Court and all mem-bers of the local judiciary. Chief Justice Sharon Lee rec-ognized local outgoing judges and welcomed new ones.

She also expressed ap-preciation for her retention, along with Justices Cornelia Clark and Gary Wade. The bench and bar taught a civ-ics lesson on the indepen-

dence of the judicial branch this summer, she said.

She supports Amend-ment 2 to the Tennessee Constitution, which would empower the governor to appoint judges to any state appellate court subject to confi rmation by the General Assembly. After an eight-year term, judges could serve another term if re-tained by voters.

“With Amendment 2,

Tennesseans will have a strong voice in every step of the process.”

Adoption attorney Dawn Coppock, who has spent time in half of the state’s courtrooms, didn’t care to elaborate on any particular judge but offered general praise.

“East Tennessee has an extremely strong trial bench. I enjoy working with them.”

KHS students!!” wrote Char-lie Austin, Karns alumni. “It is beyond me how you can allow other schools to paint our underpass and YOU sim-ply let it stay there and YOU do nothing about it! Get your head outta your phone and do something about it! You want your community to support your sports programs... give us a reason. TRADITION NEVER GRADUATES!!! Protect the Pass!”

His challenge was an-swered by a group of stu-dents and multi-generation-al alums, who wore masks for the photo they posted on Facebook. The students and alums, some whom graduat-ed in the early 1960s, gath-ered on Labor Day to paint more wholesome messages and to “Show them how it’s done.”

And then the paint hit the fan. Graffi ti supporting Pow-ell High School and dispar-aging Karns appeared the following day. The messages and drawings were so vulgar that the phones at the Knox County Sherriff’s Offi ce be-gan to ring.

Karns High School prin-cipal Kim Towe said she received a phone call from a Knox County Sheriff’s Of-fi cer who advised she dis-courage student retaliation saying acts of vandalism could be ticketed and per-petrators fi ned if caught in action. Towe said she had no choice but to follow the offi cer’s advice out of safety

concerns for her students, and she delivered the mes-sage during morning an-nouncements.

Knox County Sheriff’s Offi ce communications of-fi cer Sgt. Mark Kennedy told Shopper News that while there are legal ramifi cations for vandalizing public or pri-vate property, stopping the painting of the Karns un-derpass is not a high priority with the Sheriff’s offi ce.

“Is it criminal or tradi-tion?” said Kennedy. “The letter of the law says this is vandalism, and that is a misdemeanor. It could be a felony depending on the severity. As far as citations or arrests, that’s up to the discretion of the individual offi cer. It isn’t likely. We would have to police the spirit rocks all over town and, frankly, we’d rather be out serving the public on more serious matters.”

He advised students and alums to stop the vulgarity. “It’s critical that people un-derstand that if you want to keep that tradition alive, the community is going to have to encourage family-friendly messaging. We simply asked the principals for help in making this happen.”

Nathan Langlois, princi-pal of Powell High School, said school offi cials planned to address the issue of vul-gar messages with the stu-dent body. “This is just not how we want to be repre-sented. We’ll encourage our

students not to participate in poor sportsmanship in any way. That’s a positive fi rst step to being more pro-active and team-spirited. It’s a shame a few rogue stu-dents spoil it for everyone.”

Sallee Reynolds, princi-pal of Hardin Valley Acad-emy, echoed the sentiment. “We don’t promote even cheering against a rival team. It is absolutely not school spirit. It (painting vulgar messages) didn’t do anything but make us look bad. We try to instill good sportsmanship at all times, and that took it away. We want to be known for class and sportsmanship.”

Kennedy, who lives in the Hardin Valley area, also responded as parent. “I wouldn’t want my child see-ing that stuff. But, again, it’s ultimately up to the community to make sure the underpass displays fam-ily-friendly messaging.”

For the moment, all is quiet and friendly at the un-derpass and between cur-rent students and alums. In the wee hours of Sun-day morning, more than 21 Karns students and alumni showed up at the under-pass, paint in school colors in hand. Sunday morning dawned bright and clear with a freshly painted un-derpass displaying “Wel-come to Karns,” “Tradition Never Graduates” and the Karns beaver showcasing a “Stick by Stick” message.

Hawks circle new locker room

Why the intense fund-raising? The girls are in desperate need of a locker room. With a building com-pletion goal of spring 2015, they say they are working hard and are half-way home. The team needs another $6,000 more by the end of fall. The project includes locker rooms, restrooms and concession stand.

I caught up with the go-getter girls last Saturday in the parking lot of Advance Auto Parts on Middlebrook Pike where the team and parents were washing cars. In a few hours, $600 had been added to the kitty.

Head coach Whitney Cruze said the event was by no means the last. “We’ll be doing several fundrais-ers this fall – from a garage sale to candy sales and any-thing else we can think of. We need a nice, private area to change and use the rest-room at the fi eld, instead of the girls jogging 15 minutes round trip to the school or down to the track. That’s a long time to be out of play. We’ve tried the port-a-pot-ty thing this last season. I think the girls would rather just drown than use them – and so would the fans.”

of the bus system in Knox-ville is really good with three core routes having 15-min-ute service and many having 30-minute service. She cited the mayor’s support of public transit. This writer fi rst ap-pointed Rogero to the KAT Board in 2001 when she was a private citizen.

Distler, who likes to hike, says selling public transit in Knoxville is different than in larger cities. She cites customer service as key. She earned a degree in business management from the Uni-versity of Phoenix in 2009.

She added, “I love Knox-ville and think it is a great city.” She complimented Renee Hoyos, KAT Board chair, as “great to work with.” Hoyos’ term as chair expires in a few months, and a new chair will be elected by the existing board.

■ TVA: The White House in late August announced appointments for two of the three vacancies on the TVA Board. They are Virginia “Gina” Lodge of Nashville and Ron Walters of Mem-phis to replace Bill Sansom of Knoxville and Barbara Haskew of Chattanooga, whose terms expired in May. They continue on the board until the end of this year.

Lodge’s husband is a former Democratic state party chair.

W h a t went unre-ported in all the publicity on these two persons was the third vacancy on the board, once held by Neil Mc-

Bride of Oak Ridge, whose term expired in May 2013. It is still vacant. In other words, the oldest vacancy is still unfi lled, which shows the disinterest from the White House in fi lling the position. McBride, who has worked diligently to reclaim his old seat, has encountered a cold wind from Washington. He voted for a Republican to chair TVA, a negative with the White House.

Former U.S. Rep. Lin-coln Davis tried to get the appointment, but he is now a lobbyist, and the Obama White House bars lobbyists from presidential nomina-tions. Billy Stair of Knoxville has been mentioned, too, and is a possibility.

It will be the lame-duck November Senate session before the two nominees will be considered for confi rma-

tion, or they may go over to 2015, especially if the GOP wins control of the Senate. The board will be down to six members then.

Whiteside: Judge Scott Green has set Sept. 15 for the Troy Whiteside trial. If you recall, this is about a homi-cide that occurred almost six years ago and was trans-ferred to the DA in Greene County. Perhaps some prog-ress will occur on this com-ing to a conclusion. It is a sad commentary on the judicial system that this has not gone to trial or been dismissed in over six years. Most media have ignored this situation.

■ Debate: GOP state Senate nominee Rick Briggs has agreed to one debate (date and site not determined) with Demo-crat Cheri Siler. Siler wants more. Briggs had a fund-raiser in Nashville last week sponsored by Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey and GOP senators that raised $65,000, accord-ing to Bonnie Brezina, his campaign manager. A Knox-ville fund raiser with Gov. Haslam is set for Oct. 3.

Debates between District 13 state Rep. Gloria Johnson and challenger Eddie Smith have not been set at this time.

Last week, the public af-fairs specialist for Knox County Schools announced that some members of the Board of Education might attend Bearden High School’s upcoming “Learn to Curl” session.

This was a surprising an-nouncement for several rea-sons.

First, with few excep-tions, since public schools business is de facto “public” in nature, doesn’t this per-son deserve a more logical job title?

“Information special-ist” may be less elegant, but to the eternally skeptical East Tennessean, “public

affairs specialist” suggests that somewhere within the labyrinthian school hierar-chy lurks a “private affairs specialist” denying us in-formation we have a right to know, like why an employee who hasn’t worked in two years continues to get paid, or where Superintendent McIntyre purchases his ties.

Also, as a child of the South, I assumed a person learned to curl at schools run by Ross the Boss.

Google to the rescue, where I discovered that curling is a sport enjoyed by thousands, some of whom aren’t even Canadians.

You might think of it as shuffl eboard on ice, or ice hockey’s great-great-grand-father. Instead of a puck, curlers use a stone, and hockey sticks are replaced by non-lethal brooms.

Curling is not only an Olympic sport, it’s famed for its displays of good sports-manship.

For example, the winning

team traditionally buys the losers a round of drinks af-ter the game. Alcohol con-sumption is frowned upon at school board meetings, but the winning side could offer RC Cola and Moon Pies in keeping with local customs.

Curlers also apologize for making a lucky shot, and they call their own fouls.

Those traditions might be a hard sell for board members raised on Big Or-ange football, where the ball often takes improb-able bounces, landing, for example, in the lap of Lane Kiffi n or Derek Dooley (un-lucky bounce), or crumpling

Steve Spurrier’s visor (lucky bounce).

And calling your own fouls?

UT receiver: “Mr. Ref-eree, please hand me the mic so I can apologize to my opponents and the fans for that lucky catch. Anyway, I pushed my defender illegal-ly, so you must fl ag me for offensive pass interference. I should also mention that I’m serving RC Cola and Moon Pies after the game.”

Or:Superintendent Mc-

Intyre: “I want to apologize for all the dissension and confusion I’ve sown in the community by using words like obfuscating to explain that I’ve been obfuscat-ing. Some football player cleaned the shelves of RC

Cola, so I’ll be serving Yoo-hoo and Moon Pies.”

Can’t see those scenarios coming about. Besides, with the departure of the athletic Indya Kincannon from the school board, the pickings for a curling team are slim.

Instead of spending time learning the subtleties of curling, board members might concentrate on more urgent matters.

They might start by pushing for a change in the law that ties school funding to the whim of County Com-mission. Tennessee is one of only 11 states that deny school boards authority to set tax rates.

If voters wanted board members schooled in curl-ing they would have import-ed Canadians, eh?

Derek Dooley’s “Fear the Pants” never quite caught fi re, but there’s potential for John Fugate with “Fear the Hat.”

Dawn Distler, 52, is the new CEO of Knoxville Area Transit. She took over June 1, coming from Nashville where she was general manager of the Nashville Metro Transit. Knoxville represents a step up for her in terms of respon-sibility.

Fear the hat

Manager of Commer-cial Bank in Fountain City, Fugate was appointed by County Commission to fi ll the term of Indya Kincan-non until the November election. Three meetings. He’s said he won’t run for the position, but he has strong convictions about the direction of Knox Coun-ty Schools. And he often wears a hat.

Five minutes into his term, he was attacked by two commissioners. Amy Broyles called his selection Black Wednesday all over again, while Sam McKe nzie alluded to a shadowy “pup-pet master.” Broyles said her

colleagues had disrespected her district, but perhaps they simply disrespected her and her choice for the job, Rick Staples.

If Staples truly is the overwhelming choice of the district, as Broyles said, let him run in November and prove it.

Fugate, meanwhile, just put on his hat and left the meeting.

Days later, he was am-bling toward the Andrew Johnson Building when he noticed a man approaching, also wearing a hat. “I was fi xing to say, ‘Nice hat,’ when he stopped and jumped on me,” Fugate recalls.

“He said if I had come on the school board to cause a problem or raise Cain, then he hoped the business com-munity runs me out of town.

“Who is this man?” Fu-gate wondered. He later learned it was J. Laurens Tullock, president of the Cornerstone Foundation.

Fugate shook off the threat, marched into the board meeting and nomi-nated Mike McMillan as chair.

Distler wants all aboard KAT

She started as a bus driver in Akron, Ohio, her home town. She drove a bus for 10 years and was a union repre-sentative. While she rides the bus regularly now, including meeting this writer at Panera Bread on Cumberland, she owns a car and truck as well.

She lives with her partner in an apartment off Wash-ington Pike and is looking for a house as a permanent residence. She cited the people who work for KAT as a strength of the Knoxville system. About 300 people work for KAT, but Distler is the only city employee, and she reports directly to Mayor Rogero.

Friday night will be Joel Helton Night at Central High School’s fi rst home football game. It will be Helton’s fi rst offi cial return to Central since November 2010, when he was yanked out of the Roy Acu ff Field-house and banned from the school where he had taught and coached football for 26 years. The initial charge was that he had “intimidated” a girl with a stick and was an-nounced via press release from Superintendent James McIntyre (a deviation from McIntyre’s standard operat-ing procedure).

Helton was early McIntyre victim

The following Monday morning, more than 200 students staged a demon-stration on the street across from school property, chanting, “Bring him back!”

Shortly thereafter, the “investigation” widened, spawning reports that Hel-ton had hit his football players and kept an unsanc-

tioned stash of money to spend as he pleased. Stu-dent athletes told the Shop-per-News they were being pressured to say they’d been hit. Old allegations once deemed too petty to bother with were dredged up and recirculated. McIntyre an-nounced that Helton would never coach in Knox County again.

Weeks stretched into months, and fi nally Helton was reinstated as a teacher and sent to Farragut. In the end, no wrongdoing was found.

During this time, the

mother of the girl whom Helton had allegedly in-timidated contacted the Shopper-News and gave a lengthy interview, saying that her daughter had never been in fear of Helton and had never said she was.

“It was a personality con-fl ict. Nothing more,” the mother said.

She said her daughter had suffered threats of death and bodily harm as a result of the way Knox County Schools handled the situation, and that if the Paul Kelley Academy had not been available to her,

she would not have gradu-ated from high school.

“Her complaint was that she had a personal problem with Coach Helton, and she just wanted out of that class. She said, ‘Mommy, I just want to get out of there so I can graduate.’ All we asked was that she be put on Cen-tral’s Odyssey program so she could be given credit for doing work via computer,” the mother said. “She said, ‘I don’t think I’m going to get along with him, but I don’t want any problems. Let me do this.’”

The mother said her daughter was pressured by central offi ce administra-tors who kept asking the same questions over and

over again, as though they hoped to get answers more to their liking by repetition.

“I just think for whatever reason they had already de-cided that they wanted to go in a different direction than Joel Helton, and they used my daughter to get there,” she said.

Joel Helton was an ear-ly victim of a system that proclaims its support for “community schools” but has a pattern of disrupting communities by remov-ing strong leaders from the schools they serve.

And nobody from the system whose slogan is “Excellence for every child” ever apologized to the girl they used to get Joel Helton.

1890 must have been a very busy year for the Bau-mann Brothers Architects as they were supervising construction of two man-sions in opposite ends of Knox County at the same time: Parkview, the Col. James C. Crawford mansion in Fountain City, and West-wood, the John and Adelia Armstrong Lutz mansion on Kingston Pike. In addition, they had contracts for the Borches Block on Gay Street and for the Lenoir City Land Company offi ce.

Westwood has recently experienced extensive res-toration, and its second fl oor has become the head-quarters for Knox Heritage thanks to a generous chal-lenge grant from Lindsay Young’s Aslan Foundation.

One of the so-called “Three Sisters” on Kingston Pike, it joins Crescent Bend (Federal-style) and Bleak House (Italianate–style) in representing the principal architectural styles of the 19th entury. Drury P. Arm-strong (1799-1856), his son Robert H. Armstrong (1825-1896) and Robert’s daugh-ter, Ann Adelia Armstrong Lutz, built the three homes in 1834, 1858 and 1890 re-spectively.

Drury Armstrong’s origi-nal Crescent Bend farm, named for the majestic bend in the Tennessee River that it overlooks, started with 600 acres of land on the north side of the river, and within a few years he ac-quired another 300 acres on the south side.

In a highlight of the so-cial events of 1886, John E. Lutz (1854-1920) and Adelia Armstrong were married on Feb. 10 at the Second Presbyterian Church. The land on which Westwood was built was a wedding gift from her parents.

John Edwin Lutz had been raised in Rogersville but was already prominent in business in Knoxville as senior partner of the J.E. Lutz and Co. shoe and hat store. He later would be-come president of a general insurance company by the same name with offi ces on Gay Street.

The young couple lived at Bleak House for a time while Adelia worked with the Baumann Brothers on the plans for Westwood, the unique 10-room Queen Anne Victorian-style home they would occupy in 1890.

Adelia Armstrong was born to Robert Houston and Louise Franklin Arm-strong on June 25, 1859, at the home of her Franklin grandparents in Jefferson County, Tenn. She attended the East Tennessee Female Institute, where she was a classmate of philanthropist Mary Boyce Temple. Then she attended two fi nish-ing schools, Miss Pegram’s Southern Home School in Baltimore and Mary Bald-win College in Staunton, Va., where she majored in art. To add to her art edu-cation, she enrolled at the prestigious Corcoran Gal-lery in Washington, D.C., and later at the Pennsylva-

(1859-1931)

Historic Westwood

Since its dedication and ribbon-cutting in April, the historic Westwood Mansion has been open to the public two days a week. Westwood joins Cres-cent Bend and Bleak House, the other two museum houses built by Drury P. Armstrong and his family on Kingston Pike. Known as the “Three Sisters,” all have been beauti-fully restored.

It is noted for the unique artist’s studio built with a cathedral ceiling and massive skylight for artist Ade-lia Armstrong Lutz. It also features a grand staircase with ornate pediments, many el-egant Atkin mantels and its serpentine brick privacy wall.

Westwood at 3425 Kingston Pike is open for tours from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mondays and Thursdays. Free parking is available adjoining the house at the Laurel Church of Christ. Info: 523-8008.

lighting. Over the years that room became her library and the gallery for display of her still-life, landscape and portrait paintings. She then painted and taught her stu-dents in the cheerful break-fast room, which had more favorable northern light.

Many of her portraits fea-tured her beautiful daugh-ter, Louise, and her favor-ite fl ower, hollyhock, was a frequent still-life subject. A few paintings were histori-cally inspired. Many of her works are in the collections of the Knoxville Museum of Art, the East Tennessee History Center and the Ten-nessee State Museum.

She continued to paint throughout her life while managing a great house and garden, participating in fre-quent religious and social events, serving on various commissions and raising her active family.

A lifetime member of Sec-ond Presbyterian Church, Adelia Armstrong Lutz passed away at age 72 on Nov. 17, 1931, at Westwood. After services at her home, conducted by Dr. Clifford Barbour, she was interred at New Gray Cemetery but was later reinterred at Highland Memorial Cemetery. She was survived by her chil-dren, Louise (Mrs. Victor

D.) Holloway and Edwin R. Lutz, and three grandchil-dren.

nia Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia.

After touring France and other parts of Europe, she returned to Knoxville and taught art at her studio in the Kern Building on Market Square. She was involved with the Knoxville Art Club (1899-1902) and the Nichol-son Art League (1906-1925). Her association with others in the art league such as El-eanor Swan Audigier, Cath-erine Wiley, Lloyd Branson, Joseph Knaffl , George Bar-ber and Hugh Tyler kept her intense interest in art alive.

Her painting, “Moth-erless,” depicting two or-phaned girls, was exhibited at Nashville’s Tennessee Centennial Exposition in 1897 and then at St. Mary’s Hospital until 1992. Lutz and several other Nichol-son Art League members exhibited at the Richmond Art Club exposition in 1902. She helped organize the art displays at Knoxville’s Ap-palachian Expositions in 1910 and 1911 and was on the executive board of the Art Department of the Na-tional Conservation Exposi-tion in 1913.

Westwood was designed to provide an ideal working environment for the talent-ed artist. A spacious library-studio on the eastern side of the house closely resembles a cathedral with its domed skylight. However, she nev-er enjoyed painting there with its often too bright

Eileen Weber knows a thing or two about foreign relations.

A global citizen

Since 1992, the Halls resident has been a group leader for Children’s Inter-national Summer Villages.

A global organization founded in 1950, CISV is dedicated to “building inter-

cultural friendship, coop-eration and understanding,” according to the website. Seven types of “learning by doing programs” are offered, beginning with the “Village” program for 11-year-olds and continuing up the spec-trum through “Mosaic,” which includes all ages.

“The focus of CISV is on children and education of young people,” says Weber, “but the adults who volunteer get just as much out of the programs, sometimes more.”

Her own CISV adven-ture started in 1992 when she was teaching music at Jefferson Junior High (now Middle) School in Oak

Ridge. She spotted an an-nouncement on the faculty lounge bulletin board: An adult leader was needed to guide 10 local youth del-egates in an exchange pro-gram with Germany. For a month. All expenses paid.

“To be honest, if it hadn’t been pitched as free travel, I wouldn’t have given it a second glance!” laughs We-ber. She missed the dead-line for Germany but was asked if she’d consider Qué-bec. Though initially disap-pointed, she now says – four exchange programs and 22 years later – that the Qué-bec trip has actually been the most “foreign” one in

terms of language. “None of the Canadian parents spoke English, and it was a real challenge for my 12- and 13-year-old delegates to be in French-speaking families for two weeks!”

Soon she was eager to do one of the longer inter-changes – hosting travelers in her home one summer for four weeks and then in turn visiting the same peo-ple in their country a year later for four weeks. She ap-plied for and was selected as leader for the delegation to Italy.

While there, she recalls taking a few hours off be-fore a farewell party to relax by the Adriatic Sea. “On the beach was a lady who was a cousin of a friend, to whom I had been introduced. She spoke no English. I spoke no Italian other than a tiny stash of words learned over the past four weeks. But within minutes we were ‘chatting’ animatedly about our families, our husbands’

jobs, our kids, etc. We had a full-fl edged conversation and discovered many things in common, each knowing only a few words in the oth-er’s language and relying on gestures – and lots of laughs – to communicate.

“I still remember how thrilling it was to connect with her and to discover how similar we were in spite of our different nationalities and languages.”

Weber eventually be-came chair of CISV’s In-ternational Interchange Committee and led her fi nal training session in Portugal in 2013. Her birthday fell on the last day of the session. As she entered the room she was “quite surprised to fi nd all my participants al-ready in their seats, waiting for me. Then they all began to sing ‘Happy Birthday,’ each in their own language, and with several different tunes. It was a cacophony of the most heart-warming sort and a most memorable

birthday celebration!”Weber’s current job as

the Education and Commu-nity Partnerships assistantfor the Knoxville SymphonyOrchestra keeps her on hertoes. She handles a widevariety of administrativetasks including schedulingvarious events, and says sheenjoys the “warm, friendlypeople” she works with,admitting, “I thought therewould be more divas.”

Refl ecting upon her timewith CISV, she says, “Myown personal growth as aglobal citizen has been mybiggest takeaway from CISV.I have friends all over theworld; I’ve stayed in theirhomes, and many have vis-ited me here in Knoxville.”

And as for the many kidsshe’s shepherded aroundthe globe, Weber states, “It’sbeen very rewarding to playa small part in what havebeen life-changing experi-ences for them.”Send story suggestions to news@

By Nancy AndersonOn the last Friday of each

month, First Baptist Church of Concord has a gift wait-ing for parents whose chil-dren are babies through fi fth-graders.

It’s a gift of time.Emile Sloan is coordina-

tor of the church’s Parents’ Night Out program, which offers parents a familiar and inexpensive option for babysitting once a month. On Aug. 29, more than 80 children showed up as their parents accepted the invita-tion.

“Parents’ Night Out is a ministry for our parents so they can have a child-free date night,” says Sloan. “We feel that it is important for marriages to have that time, so we offer a safe, fun, Christ-centered environ-ment where moms and dads can drop off their kids for several hours. The kids are familiar and comfortable, loved on and fed pizza to complete the fun.

Amy Daniel brought her 6-month-old daughter, Ad-dison, so she and her hus-band, Joseph, could go to dinner and have a night out.

Yeldell named interim pastor Crossroads Christian Church

The Rev. Nokomis Yeldell, Jr. has been named the new interim pastor of Crossroads Christian Church.

Yeldell was Associate Minister at Foster Chapel Bap-tist Church and was called into the ministry in February 2010. He has served as president of the Sanctuary Choir, president of the Layman’s Ministry, chair of the Trustee Ministry and is presently Minister of Missions. Yeldell is an author and has written and directed several church plays. His wife is the Rev. Jovita A. Yeldell.

By Wendy SmithYou can’t see the Church

of the Ascension’s laby-rinth from busy Northshore Drive. Nor can you see it from the church itself. But a quick stroll up a set of stairs on the south side of the church’s parking lot takes you to a quiet spot that seems a world away from the bus-tle of West Knoxville.

The laby-rinth, laid out with stones, is on a shady hill with a view of the East Tennes-see State Vet-erans Cem-etery.

Walking the labyrinth is a metaphor for a pilgrimage on life’s meandering path, says Beth Harris, a member of the church’s Labyrinth Guild.

Like life, the labyrinth path constantly changes di-rection, but always leads to the center. The guild offers suggestions on how to use the labyrinth in the monthly parish paper. Three parts of the walk move participants through the stages of tran-sition: Walking to the center is a time to release or shed burdens; the center is the place to receive and be re-newed; the walk out is the return to the world with growth and awareness.

It’s the same thing that happens during Sunday worship service, Harris says, but in a different form.

The church began us-ing a canvas labyrinth in

2001, and a young church member, Anthony Larson, installed the current site in 2004 as an Eagle Scout project. Joey Verba added the stairs and a fi re pit for his Eagle Scout project.

Members of the guild walk the lab-yrinth from 5 to 5:45 p.m. each Wednesday. They began the struc-tured time in February as an obser-vance of Lent and decided to continue in order to support the church’s mis-sions pro-gram with prayer. They

also focus on the congrega-tion’s prayer list.

The spot lends itself well to meditation. There’s al-most always a cool breeze on the hill, says Harris. “I just walk it, and it physically calms me so I can really let go of things. I feel like I’m in a sacred space.”

There’s a labyrinth in every culture, from Hindu Mandalas to the Hopi Indi-ans’ Man in the Maze, she says. Christians use laby-rinths in conjunction with liturgical events like Easter and Advent, as a means of understanding scripture or for communal and personal prayer.

The community is wel-come to use the labyrinth, Harris says. Suggested meditations are available at the site. Church of the Ascension is located at 800 South Northshore Drive.

A big plus for many stu-dents and faculty at the be-ginning of the school year is the ever-popular ice cream social. Mounds of sprinkles, chocolate syrup and cherries cover ice cream as students, teachers and parents bond over their favorite fl avors. Then there’s the occasional mashed potato social …

Barry Myers introduced a few sponsors while folks en-joyed everything ice cream. Children celebrated as par-ents let down their guards and allowed second help-ings for the special occa-sion.

By Sara BarrettI stopped by Bearden

Middle School last week to c o n g r a t u -late voca-tional teach-er Frank Calfee on his Technol-ogy Student Association L i f e t i m e A c h i e v e -ment Award

and to fi nd out more about the 28 years he’s volunteered with the program.

It was hard to get him to talk about his own success. The humble Calfee wanted to share the many achieve-ments the TSA teams he’s coached over the years have won. Dozens of trophies line the walls of the computer lab, representing 24 years of the school competing na-tionally. Calfee has led the program all 24 years.

“These are just the group trophies,” said Calfee. “The individual winners take their trophies home.”

Calfee began volunteer-ing with TSA in the 1980s while studying at the Uni-versity of Tennessee. After earning his degree in in-dustrial education, he con-tinued working with TSA groups before and after school while also teaching full time.

In addition to coaching the TSA teams from Bearden Middle School, Calfee is now on the national board and helps create the programs for regional and national events. He is also in charge of logistics and travels to the location of each event up to a year in advance to begin planning the layout for the entire facility. Still, his fa-vorite part is seeing the BMS teams succeed.

Photos of previous teams cover the wall behind Calfee’s desk, and he keeps letters in his drawer from past stu-dents and their families. He enjoys staying in touch with them through social media and seeing his students apply what they learned.

Although the TSA Life-time Achievement Award is usually given to someone nearing retirement, Calfee said his is still several years away. Even in retirement he hopes to be involved with TSA in some capacity.

“I want these kids to have the best experience possible. Seeing them learn that there is an application to their gen-eral academics … that’s what it’s about,” he said.

taking the reins and leading the school in a collection of toiletry items for students in need around the county.

This year’s theme, Change Your World, is aimed at encouraging SES students to help in the com-munity and “learn to extend kindness by showing gener-osity to others.”

Each grade donated items including toothbrushes, de-odorant and hairbrushes. Third-graders tallied do-nations and took their En-core class time to sort and package the items into toi-letry kits. Each student then wrote a note to include with each kit.

The following day, rep-resentatives from schools receiving the toiletry kits stopped by SES to help cel-ebrate the Go Golden pro-gram and say thank you.

By Anne HartIt’s a service that none of

us really want to think about until we have to; co-incidentally, it’s also a service for which we’re very grate-ful when we need it.

Whether for our-

selves or for a loved one, hospice care becomes a re-ality for many of us at some point in our lives, and it’s a business that might not ex-ist without the help of le-gions of volunteers.

Patty McGrew, volun-teer coordinator for Caris Healthcare, described the end-of-life care services of-fered by Caris volunteers and staff at a recent meeting of the Rotary Club of West Knoxville.

McGrew said Ca-ris provides hospice care where the per-son who needs it ac-tually lives – a private home, assisted living or a long term care facility. Caris offers many different kind of services, including physi-cian and nursing services, medical equipment and so-cial services for all ages – infants to elderly.

But it’s the volunteers, McGrew said, who add the grace notes to those fi nal days for so many.

“These are amazing indi-viduals who make a real dif-ference to both patients and

to their families,” Mc-Grew said. “Whether it’s holding a hand, writing a letter, play-

ing some special mu-sic or reading a book to

the patient, the volunteers are there to provide comfort and care.”

McGrew said Caris care-fully screens its volunteers and then matches them just as carefully with patients.

“As just one example, we

try to place our volunteerswho are military veteranswith patients who are vet-erans.”

All volunteers are givenan orientation and receiveongoing training. Spiritualcare and bereavement vol-unteers receive additionalspecialized training.

In addition to workingdirectly with patients, Mc-Grew said volunteers areneeded to perform admin-istrative functions and workon special programs andevents.

Most would agree there are not enough women in the state Legislature, and some would say there aren’t enough Democrats. So why in Memphis did three good female Democrats tear into each other in a district that’s liable to be won by George Flinn, a physician who’s willing to spend whatever it takes to get elected to some-thing. (Flinn fi nished third to Joe Carr and Lamar Al-exander in the August U.S. Senate Primary.)

Writing in the Memphis Daily News, Bill Dries says Flinn has secured the GOP nomination for the Senate District 30 seat left vacant when Jim Kyle took offi ce as a Chancery Court judge. Seeking the Democratic nomination were Sara Kyle (Jim Kyle’s wife and the niece of former Gov. Frank Clement and former state Sen. Annabelle Clement O’Brien; she also won state-wide election to the old Pub-lic Service Commission), along with former state Rep. Carol Chumney and former state Sen. Beverly Marrero. (Note: This selection was set to be made Sept. 8, after our press time.)

If Flinn wins in Novem-ber he would likely join Dr. Richard Briggs in the Sen-ate. Two new Republican senators, both physicians, could align with Gov. Bill Haslam to expand Medic-aid. Of course, the Demo-cratic nominees would support the expansion, but Democrats are mostly ir-relevant in today’s General

By Bonny C. MillardAn inherited piece of fur-

niture in need of refi nishing sparked the genesis of what would become The Back Porch Mercantile.

Owner and curator Jenny Parkhurst, who has a bach-elor of fi ne arts degree in graphic design, said she has always loved working on projects, and one project changed her way of chan-neling her creativity.

“Doing DIY (do-it-your-self) things has always been my primary passion,” said Parkhurst, who believes that everyone has some cre-ativity.

When her grandmother left her a small piece of fur-niture, Parkhurst had an idea of what she wanted to do. Striping the piece would have been a long, multi-step process. So she started re-searching other options and found Chalk Paint, a brand created in 1990 by designer Annie Sloan in England.

Chalk Paint doesn’t re-quire prepping or priming before painting, Parkhurst said.

“Chalk Paint would liter-ally take a day to do,” said Parkhurst, who showed a recently painted dresser and ran her hand over the smooth surface of the top. “It’s only been in the United States four years.”

After fi nding Chalk Paint, Parkhurst was so en-

Jenny Parkhurst shows the display of Chalk Paint, a specialty decorative paint, her store carries.

She also does monthly workshops, which are based on inventor Annie Sloan’s techniques.

tom order. The dresser is for a girl’s room. Photos by Bonny C. Millard

Business idea grows from painting project

thusiastic about the product that she called the company and asked if she could sell it. At fi rst she sold it out of the trunk of her car, and then she started selling it at the business Ironic, owned by Polly Honeycutt, in Bearden.

The paint, which has a chalky appearance, is rich in pigments, and the color selection has historical ba-sis, Parkhurst said. The paints have no volatile or-ganic compounds and none

of that usual toxic paint smell.

Parkhurst teaches monthly workshops, from basic to more advanced, on how to use Chalk Paint. The paint’s inventor has written 30 books on col-or and design, including painting workbooks, which Parkhurst uses. The paint works on furniture, walls, lamps, cabinets and other surfaces.

In addition to teaching the workshops, Parkhurst

does custom work for clients and helps them style rooms. She says she’s not a deco-rator, but she has custom-ers show her what inspires them for the room and works from those ideas. “I just love art and design, so I’ve always studied it, and I love old stuff,” she said.

After three and a half years, Parkhurst realized she wanted to expand her business and knew she would need more space. The Ironic shop landlord

agreed to build a wall, and Parkhurst’s retail space was born next door to where she started.

The retail store, 5052 Kingston Pike, opened about a year and a half ago. She sells furniture, mostly older pieces, bedding and other items that offer customers

an eclectic selection for theirhomes. She also sells someexclusive jewelry lines.

“I wanted more space,and she (Honeycutt) wantedless,” she said. “It was a nicenatural growth. It all cametogether at the right time.”

By Bonny C. MillardMorris Creative Group founder and

owner Chuck Morris encouraged area busi-ness leaders to fi nd ways to utilize social media in their corporate marketing plans because customers have changed their ways of do-ing business.

“We’re all in a dig-ital world now. We can’t deny it,” Mor-ris said. “We can’t put our heads in the

sand. We just have to embrace it.”Morris, a member of the Rotary Club

of Knoxville, spoke to the group recently about the increased use of the Internet and social media by consumers.

In the United States, 206.2 million peo-ple are web users, and the fast-growing population segment is women who are 50-plus years old. People spend more time on smartphones than watching TV.

Technological advances are shaping the rapid change: cheap computers and mo-bile phones, low-cost broadband access and open-source software such as Linux or WordPress.

Ten years ago, websites were more like electronic brochures, but today’s customers want to have a way to interact online with the company and its website, he said. Thir-ty-four percent of web users believe compa-nies should have a web presence.

“People aren’t buying the same way they used to,” he said.

Marketing has changed from a prod-uct and consumer focus to a values-driven emphasis, he said. Customers are collaborating with companies in real time online. As an example of

their infl uence, Morris cited consum-er backlash on Facebook when Gap tried

to change its logo. The company had to re-vert to its original logo.

The top online marketing efforts are email (86 percent), social media (72 per-cent) and search engine optimization (70 percent). Thirty years ago, Americans were exposed to 2,000 ads per day, and now it is 5,000 ads per day. Digital ad space rev-enue is expected to reach $137.5 billion in this year.

Real estate market trends slowerNews From The Register Of Deeds

By Sherry WittAfter a very good perfor-

mance in July, the lo-cal real es-tate market experienced a slight d o w n t u r n in August. The last full month of summer

produced 922 property transfers in Knox County, well short of the 1,065 re-corded in July. In 2013, the county saw 950 parcels change hands during Au-gust.

The total value of prop-

erty sold was also down by some $75 million from Ju-ly’s $292 million. In August, $217.2 million worth of real property was transferred in Knox County. That is about $45 million short of last Au-gust’s output.

Coming off a two-month surge, mortgage lending also experienced a slow-down in August with just over $275 million loaned, compared to $347 million in July. The August total was far below the fi gure of $403 million borrowed in mort-gages and refi nances during August 2013.

The most notable land transaction of the month

was the sale of a medical facility at 10810 Parkside Drive in the Turkey Creek complex, for $23,250,000. The largest mortgage loan recorded was an assump-tion agreement involving the same parcel on Park-side Drive in the amount of $13.2 million.

I would be remiss if I did not tell each of you how much I appreciate the op-portunity to serve another term as your Register of Deeds. It is indeed a privi-lege to continue doing the job I love in such a great community as Knox County.

Thank you, and God bless!

tant. While Baese cannot run yet, she can swim and bike without losing the tape.

“It’s not painful at all. It starts to come off by itself when it’s time and feels like pulling off a band-aid,” she said. “It’s really a miracle tape for me.”

Kinesiotaping gained popular-ity more than 25 years ago (see box). By pulling the skin up and outward, the tape gives the injured area more room to heal and takes pressure off the center of pain. In Baese’s case, the tape provides ex-tra support to a healing muscle.

“It’s much less restrictive than a regular bandage, and I see people at the gym wearing them. It makes me look cooler, I think,” she said with a laugh. “I see athletes on television wearing them, too.”

Baese fi rst experienced kinesio-taping when she had a foot injury a year ago. Her husband and sister have also been taped for injuries during physical therapy. “It speeds recovery time, and there’s imme-diate relief in pain,” she said.

Even though the tape has al-lowed her to make progress, Baese is being patient with her healing process. As her husband contin-ues to run around the neighbor-hood, she focuses on recovery. “I

just have to listen to my physicaltherapist and do what he says,”Baese explained. “I have to controlmy urge to run until I’m healthy. Ijust want to get back out there andrun.”

Sports-related injuries can happen to even the most skilled athletes in the fi eld. While pre-venting injuries entirely is impos-sible, here are some simple tips from the experts at Parkwest to protect yourself – amateur or elite – as you get moving:

1) Set goals. Each person has a different reason for diving into a new exercising or running routine. In order to not overexert yourself, set realistic goals and create your workout to refl ect those goals.

2) Talk to your doctor. Cer-tain people are at much higher risk for injury than others due to seemingly unrelated health prob-lems. Chat with your doctor about what sort of exercise plan you plan to pursue. He or she can help de-termine your injury risk and how your running routine should be created for your needs.

3) Warm up and stretch. The most common inju-ries can be prevent-ed by simply taking the time to warm up and stretch before running. Focus on your muscles that move joints. For ex-ample, the calf mus-cle moves the knee and ankle and the hamstring moves the knee and hip. After you’ve stretched, walk or jog for fi ve minutes before exercising vigorously. Cool down at the same pace for another fi ve minutes at the end of your run. Remember to stretch again after your run.

4) Wear the right shoes. Don’t throw on an old pair of sneak-ers with worn soles and no sup-port. Invest in sturdy, well-made

Sticking with itKinesiotaping therapy relieves runner’s pain

For Susan Baese, running isn’t a hobby. It’s a passion – and a matchmaker.

“The fi rst conversation I had with my husband was about run-ning,” she said. “Now we’ve been married more than 30 years, and we still run together.”

Because she’s used to hitting the pavement, Baese understands the frequency and danger of run-ning injuries. When she partially tore her hamstring this year, she didn’t have to think long about where to go.

“I’ve had several running in-juries and I always come to the Parkwest Therapy Center because they take your concerns seriously. My physical therapist is a run-ner, too,” she explained. “He un-derstands how frustrating it is to have your head want to run but your body be unable to.”

However, Baese’s physical ther-apy appointments don’t end with ice or bandages like others’ might. Instead, two short pieces of elastic cotton tape are placed strategical-ly over her damaged muscle. The practice is called kinesiotaping, and Baese is a fi rm believer.

“They told me about it and I was game,” she said. “I have no idea how or why it works, but I no-

ticed the difference immediately. My muscle feels supported.”

The method replaces poten-

tially cumbersome bandages with small pieces of fl exible tape that are water and movement resis-

Kinesiotaping 101Kinesiotaping is a therapeutic taping technique that uses a

uniquely designed elastic tape. The technique was discovered by Japanese chiropractor Kenzo Kase. Kinesio-taping has been used since the early 1980s, but fi rst received international exposure at the 1988 Seoul Olympics. Today, many athletes are seen utilizing the tape. Kinesiotaping is not limited to athletes though, it has several medical uses as well. Patients with bursitis, tendonitis, shoulder impingement, swelling and plantar fasciitis can be improved with kinesiotape.

Advantages of kinesiotaping include the fol-lowing:

■ It allows full joint range of motion while being worn ■ Effects can differ based on the type of application ■ The tape is latex-free and hypoallergenic ■ It can be worn 3-7 days, so it is economical to use ■ The tape does not lose effectiveness when wet, so it can be

worn in pools/showers

Kinesiotape primarily works through infl uences on the skin. Through sensory input into the skin, your body will typically per-ceive less pain in the area of the taping. Kinesiotape has a lifting effect, producing small wrinkles – or convolutions – in the skin and underlying fascial layers. This creates space between layers and allows greater ease in the elimination of swelling in an in-fl amed area of the body. Through this lifting effect, kinesiotape can also be used to resolve bruising more quickly over an injured area.

Kinesiotape can also be used to support the function of ten-dons and ligaments or to facilitate underactive muscles and in-hibit overactive muscles (spasm for example).

Kinesiotaping is a valuable tool, but its effectiveness is deter-mined largely by the skill with which it is applied. Learning the proper techniques from a certifi ed kinesiotaping practitioner (CKTP) is recommended. To become certifi ed, a healthcare pro-vider must complete classroom/lab instruction and pass a written test.Phil Bevins, PT, OCS, SCS, CSCS, CKTP, is an orthopedic physical therapist at Parkwest Physical Therapy Center. His clinical focus is on lower extremity overuse injuries. Bevins has been certifi ed as a CKTP for two years and routinely uses kinesiotaping as a compo-nent of his treatment plan for patients. He has found taping to be especially helpful in the treatment of shin splints, bursitis, plantar fasciitis and patello-femoral dysfunction. To schedule an appointment with Phil or any of the therapists at the Parkwest Physical Therapy Center, call 865-531-5710.

B-2 • SEPTEMBER 10, 2014 • KARNS/HARDIN VALLEY Shopper news sports

Fulton led the state in scoring while rolling un-beaten to the Class 3A state championship last season. For an encore, the goal ap-pears to be to lead the cos-mos.

With better than 80 points in each of its fi rst two games, Fulton enters Friday’s visit to Farragut averaging a state-best 74.3 points per game. The Fal-cons calmed down a little bit with a 56-6 win at rival Austin-East last week.

The compelling aspect of a pace well ahead of last season’s state-record 57.5 points per outing is Fulton posted the wins over Powell (83-3) and Bearden (84-0) with second- and third-team players doing a lot of the scoring and a running

Where no football team has gone before:Fulton travels to Farragut on astronomical scoring pace

clock for much of the game. That says depth, meaning the Falcons could keep this up for quite a while.

Farragut is no cupcake. The Class 6A Admirals tast-ed victory for the fi rst time this season with a win at Lenoir City last week. Win-ning has a way of righting the ship, and, after last year, Farragut is motivated.

Last season: Fulton (15-0), Farragut (6-5)

Last meeting: 2013 –

Fulton 55, Farragut 13.The offenses: The Fal-

cons run a little bit of every-thing. Depends on the op-ponent. The Admirals run the more physical spread option.

The defenses: Fulton 3-4, Farragut 33 stack

The Breakdown: There aren’t many teams with a 6-foot, 275-pound All-State fullback. There are fewer still with one who can run like Fulton’s D.J. Campbell. He also plays linebacker.

The Falcons lost quite a bit from last year’s score-board busters. With wide-out K.J. Roper, quarterback Adam Diggs, receiver Ken-tel Williams, Campbell and the cast of thousands Ful-ton’s depth would suggest, looks like they’ll make do

this season.Farragut has a giant-

sized offensive line. Nathan Gilliam highlights a front fi ve with more than enough heft to move a defense around. Tanner Thomas, a junior, ran for better than 1,500 yards and 12 touch-downs a year ago. Keep-ing the ball away from the Fulton offense as much as possible is wise course of action.

Why this one in-trigues: Farragut will provide incontrovertible evidence of whether what Fulton is doing to score-boards across the state is le-gitimate. It’s hard to believe the Falcons, or any team, for that matter, can continue to score like that.

Or can they?

I borrow this thought from my Bible: Forgive him, Father, for he knew not what he doeth.

Forgive him, Father

Good man Mike Hamil-ton wasn’t trying to crucify Tennessee football when he scheduled home-and-homes with Oregon and Oklahoma. He was undoubtedly think-ing of national-spotlight intersectional games that would fi ll stadiums, sell lots

and lots of popcorn and at-tract big TV for all the world to see.

Even with 20-20 fore-sight, the former athletic di-rector couldn’t have known the Volunteers would jump the track, hit the skids and slide down to four consecu-tive losing seasons. Nothing like that had ever happened. Tennessee was one of the big-gest names in the game, top 10 in total victories. It says so right here in the Vault.

No way could Mike sur-mise what was to come, that by the time it was time to play, Tennessee would no longer belong in big games.

Even in decline, the Vols didn’t surrender. They brave-

disappointed that his team stopped competing.

The coach spoke of “bad adversity” in the third quar-ter and how his team didn’t handle it.

“Then we couldn’t do anything right. We didn’t tackle well. We didn’t cover kicks. We didn’t run the ball. When you do that and you play a good team, you get embarrassed. And that’s what happened.”

Neyland Stadium and 102,035 fans got the undi-vided attention of Oregon coach Chip Kelly: “That’s an unbelievable environment to play in. I mean, this place is impressive!”

Second in this mis-matched series was Sept. 14 of last season. Eugene, Ore., is an interesting place to visit. There are things to see

and hear. The city is beauti-ful. There is a focus on the arts and liberal politics. It is a hub of track and fi eld. Nike was born there.

Alas, there were football lessons on the agenda. Ore-gon wasn’t much like previ-ous UT foes Austin Peay and Western Kentucky.

Tennessee got the fi rst touchdown. Oregon got the next 59 points and sent in the subs. No kidding, if it wasn’t awful, it could have been. The winners scored touchdowns on seven consecutive posses-sions. The losing margin was 45. You must go back to 1910 to fi nd something worse.

Oregon fans taunted visi-tors with chants of “S E C! S E C!”

The next stop in this ad-venture is upon us, in Nor-man, 20 miles south of Okla-

homa City. It is a historic place. The Sooners are the prime attraction. They once won 47 consecutive football games. That little streak re-mains the world record.

This Oklahoma team is not THAT good – un less you believe Alabama apolo-gists. They have not fully recovered from dropping the Sugar Bowl past. They recall Trevor Knight com-pleting 32 of 44 for 348 and four touchdowns.

The Crimson Tide does not wish that on any SEC brother, even Tennessee.

Maybe it won’t happen. Perhaps the Vols are better than I think. By next year, when Oklahoma returns the visit, let us hope Tennessee will be really ready.(Marvin West invites reader reaction. His

ly lined up to honor contracts.The fi rst game against

Oregon, Sept. 11, 2010, provided the fi rst clue that Derek Dooley might not get it. Tennessee jumped ahead 13-3. Lightning and rain blowing sideways delayed the other action for an hour.

The Ducks rallied before intermission. Dooley said the Vols were a little defl at-ed at halftime “because we screwed up those last three minutes.”

They didn’t do very well in the second half. Oregon ended up with 45 consecu-tive points. UT fans, about to miss a bedtime snack and the late news, went early to the exits. Dooley said he was

with Denny Mullins

Coffee Break

It can be your neighbor, club leader, bridge partner, boss, teacher – anyone you think would be interesting to Shopper News readers. Email suggestions to Betsy Pickle, [email protected]. Include contact information if you can.

If you need proof that music makes people better at math, look no further than Denny Mullins.

Mullins started playing piano at 10 and a half and pipe organ at 14. He had his fi rst professional gig – a wed-ding – at 15. He has been a church organist nearly all his life, including his current stint at First United Methodist since January 1988.

But he made his living as a business manager, fi rst at Johns Hopkins University, then at the University of Maryland School of Medicine in Baltimore and fi nally at the University of Tennessee, from which he retired seven years ago after 20 years of service.

He started at UT as the business manager of the divi-sion of biology, overseeing all the fi nancial aspects of the life sciences departments. He retired from the College of Arts and Sciences. For the past four years, he has served the Community Chest of Knoxville as controller, looking after the nonprofi t’s fi nances.

A Knoxville native and graduate of Fulton High School, Mullins started off in pre-law at UT, but interrupted his education when he enlisted in the U.S. Navy in 1967. He served four years, two at NATO’s Allied Command Atlan-tic headquarters at Norfolk and two at sea on a helicopter carrier.

After being honorably discharged, he studied for a year at the Peabody Conservatory in Baltimore on scholarship, but when money ran out he returned to UT and graduated with a bachelor of arts degree in pipe organ performance.

After graduating, he returned to Baltimore and began his business career and his family. He married his long-time sweetheart, Lynne, and after he earned his MBA at Johns Hopkins they had a daughter and son. He also played organ at a Catholic church that had six masses ev-ery weekend.

“My one regret is that I spent so much time away from my children and my wife during my career,” Mullins says. That’s the main reason he retired at age 59. When they aren’t spending time visiting with their grown children, they have a loving proxy, a 10-year-old cat named Mi-cetro.

Mullins likes to relax by playing his 1958 Steinway, which he bought in Georgia last year in April. But he believes in staying busy. He has been a faithful member of the Knoxville Chapter, American Guild of Organists, serving in a variety of offi ces, including dean. And the

Community Chest takes up a lot of his time.“The one thing in life I have learned is that one still

needs to be needed,” he says.Sit back and have a Coffee Break as you get to know

Denny Mullins.

What are you guilty of?Spending too much time on the computer researching

my family tree genealogy. I now have 8,500 kinfolk in my family tree database.

What is your favorite material possession?My 1958 Steinway B grand piano.

What are you reading currently?Music scores.

What was your most embarrassing moment? My wife, Lynne, and I dressed up for a formal dinner

at a college offi cial’s home in Baltimore, only to arrive and discover we were a week early. We were still asked to stay for supper that night!

What are the top three things on your bucket list? Visit my ancestral hometown of Londonderry in Coun-

ty Derry, Ulster Province, Northern Ireland; a home on the beach; and a two-manual tracker-action pipe organ (haus orgel) for my living room.

What is one word others often use to describe you?Talented – because of my pipe organ playing.

If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?

I need to be less impatient both for things to happen and people to make them happen.

What is your passion? All things musical, especially with regard to the world

of pipe organs and symphonic music.

With whom, living or dead, would you most like to have a long lunch?

I’d love to have lunch with four great composers (now decompos-ing): Sergei Rachmaninoff, Cesar Franck, Johann Sebastian Bach and Maurice Durufl e.

Other than your parents, who has had the biggest infl uence on your life and why?

My wife, Lynne. We’ve always known each other. On our wedding day, a framed picture of Lynne and me had been placed next to our cake showing the two of us sitting in the same outdoors chair, and Lynne was in diapers.

I still can’t quite get the hang of … Being retired – it’s so easy to enjoy,

yet time fl ies faster now than when I was working full-time in university settings. I thought time would really slow down in retirement. NOT!

What is the best present you ever received in a box?I can remember my eighth birthday when my next-

door godparents (Lynne’s aunt and uncle) gave me a met-al fl ashlight and a shoebox full of batteries. (I’ve always liked lights and colors.)

What is the best advice your mother ever gave you?Be and do the very best you can.

What is the worst job you have ever had?My fi rst job, upon discharge from the Navy in 1971, was

being hired as a full-time customs tariff clerk in an in-terstate motor haulage company in Baltimore. I used to motorcycle daily to the job, which was located far away over the back bay and across the Hanover Street Bridge. It was a depressing job and location.

What was your favorite Saturday morning cartoon and why?

The Roadrunner. He was the epitome of cleverness, optimism and being a keen practitioner of how to deal with life’s adversities.

What irritates you?Smart people who do and say dumb things. I also have

a problem with people who believe they are thinkers of substance but actually come across as shallow, funda-mental non-thinkers.

What is your greatest fear? Snakes.

If you could do one impulsive thing, what would it be? I’d love to pack our bags and travel to the West Indies

for the winter.
