IN THIS ISSUE

You might not believe this …

Some former insider will someday tell a colorful tale of how Tennessee faked out rival recruiters and got away with a high school lad who grew up to be an all-American.

Besides the possibility of cheating and lying, football recruiting may include cloak-and-dagger stories that are slow to spill out of the closet.

turned to teaching after a three-year leave. In her new 8th-grade teaching position at West Valley Middle School, she found her-self teaching some of the same students she had known as 3rd graders at A.L Lotts Elementary.

“Once I got into the class-room and saw how the kids had changed, it was a real eye-open-ing experience.”

to Powell Playhouse By Devin Harvey

Performances are Saturday and Sunday, Feb. 23 and 24, of a pair of one-act comedies by the Powell Play-house at Jubilee Banquet Facility.

We will visit Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, and then the real-life Denney family portrays a self-absorbed clan with poor lis-tening skills.

“Why, what’s a family for if not to listen?”

The production pairs two one-act plays performed in the same evening, spanning from the begin-

ning of mankind to modern day Knoxville. “The Diary of Adam and Eve” will be followed by “Louder, I Can’t Hear You!”

The Saturday show is at 7:30 p.m. and the Sunday show at 3 p.m. Tickets are $10 and can be pur-chased at the door.

“We might learn something from seeing these plays,” says di-rector Nita Buell Black, the founder of the Powell Playhouse. “We just don’t listen very well these days. We’d be much better off if we lis-tened to God and listened to each other. Please come join us for some laughs at ourselves.”

Comedies coming “The Diary of Adam and Eve” takes place in the Garden of Eden, with the world’s fi rst male meeting the world’s fi rst female. Things were going great for Adam – that is until this strange and annoying creature came along. She just won’t quit talk-ing, he complains. Animals appear and react to their new surround-ings, including a serpent with an enticing offer for the couple.

Christina Perkins plays Eve. “I don’t think our relationships have changed as much over time as we might think,” she says. “People will relate to the exchange be-tween Adam and Eve.”

Perkins also appeared at PPH in “Steel Magnolias” as Annelle. A na-tive of Mountain City, she has also appeared with the Johnson City

Community Theater. Perkins is a graduate student in UT’s College of Social Work, and she’s an Ivy Leaguer, holding an undergradu-ate degree from Brown University.

Josh Crutchfi eld is Adam. “It’s a fun role. I get to fi ght with Christi-na,” he says. “This play does prove what many of us men already know – that women are always right.” Josh is an EMT with Rural/Metro, and appeared at the PPH in “The Night Is My Enemy.”

Steven Miller portrays the snake. Steven was Dr. Einstein in the recent PPH production of “Ar-senic and Old Lace.”

Other performers include Sa-vannah Bell as the lion, Jeff Cart-

teacher of the year is underway and two from Powell Elementary are in the running.

Mandi Meek, 3rd grade and Beth Antone, 1st grade, were se-lected by fellow teachers as two who best refl ect the qualities of teaching excellence. Because PES has a teaching staff of more than 40, the school was permitted two nominees who advance to county level competition.

er as the Dodo bird, Carly Johnson as the lamb, Gina Jones as the tiger, and Hunt-er Long as the giraffe.

Next, we meet the hapless Brown family in “Louder, I Can’t Hear You!”

They are together, as in the same room, but they are entirely in their own world. Marge is an exasperated woman who wins a “Mother of the Month” award, but no one seems to be listening to her. Fed up and angry, she goes to see a therapist for help, but it turns out he’s not much of a listener either.

Renee Denney plays Marge. “It’s an interesting experience living with most of the cast in reality, and then going to rehearsal and living with them again,” she says. Renee played Clairee in the PPH’s production of “Steel Magnolias.” She is a speech language pathologist for Curlee Communications.

Renee’s real husband of 24 years, Chuck, portrays her fi ctional spouse Oscar, whose listening skills are not his strong suit. Oscar is also paranoid about his neighbors, and has a whiny temper. “I’m trying to make Oscar as obnoxious as pos-sible,” Chuck says. “But for the record, I always listen to

everything Renee says. I’d better.”

Chuck works for UT’s In-stitute of Agriculture.

The Denney’s 16-year-old daughter, Meredith, makes her PPH debut as Ann, a dra-matic teenager with wardrobe and boy issues. Meredith is in theater at Powell High School, and appeared in the school’s production of Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night.” She is also on the swim and track teams. The Denney family also in-cludes son Sam, a UT fresh-man.

Brandon Evans plays Junior. Brandon is also ac-tive in theater at PHS, and appeared with PPH in “The Night Is My Enemy.”

Joseph Redpaint Spill-man portrays the psychia-trist who has issues all his own. Redpaint was in the PPH’s production of “The Savage Dilemma,” and has also appeared with Theater Knoxville Downtown. Jean Weeden plays the nurse. She was in “The Night Is My Enemy,” and is a volunteer with PPH.

This is the sixth produc-tion by the Powell Playhouse, Inc. Upcoming performanc-es in 2013 will be “Puss in Boots” (April), and “The Odd Couple” (June).

dren is the highlight of my day,” said Meek. “Kids seem to be maturing faster now and we are handing infor-mation to them more rap-idly. All of the teachers here are focused on what we can do better together to help our students succeed.”

Meek said she was put on the earth to let her stu-dents know that no mat-ter what their days are like outside the classroom, for at least one year of their life they have a teacher who truly loves them. She said academics are secondary, but only to love. She wants her students to feel safe in her classroom and have fun while they learn.

Antone said she became

a teacher because she loves helping children. She tells her students daily that she is learning just like them as she constantly seeks better ways to teach them.

“My ultimate responsi-bility is to educate my stu-dents in preparation for their future; not only the next grade, but their entire future,” said Antone. “As a teacher I am blessed with an amazing opportunity to help create future leaders.”

Both teachers said they value their selection because it came from their peers.

The teacher selected at the county level will move on to state for a chance to be Ten-nessee’s teacher of the year.Reach Cindy Taylor at brentcindyt@

Powell Elementary From page A-1

By Sandra ClarkThe 15 Reward School

Ambassadors met in Nash-ville last week for orien-tation. And suddenly it’s starting to feel real to Pow-ell High School English teacher Kristy Starks-Winn.

Starks-Winn won’t be at PHS next year. Instead, she will be working with the fi rst cohort of ambassadors to assist teachers in school districts that request help. “It’s a voluntary program,” she said.

Calling the orientation “really cool,” Starks-Winn said Gov. Bill Haslam thanked each ambassador, asked where each was from and called them “key” to his education program. Ambas-sadors also met with state

Education Commissioner Kevin Huffman and region-al CORE directors.

“We’ve moved really fast (since being one of the fi rst states to earn federal funds through Race to the Top), and now we’re fi nally get-ting the horse in front of the cart,” she said.

“There has been a real paradigm shift from the Capitol. Now it’s about pro-viding schools with what they need to be successful. It’s not punitive or a punish-ment. We want to help sup-port teachers and schools.”

Starks-Winn expects to work with two schools next year, with another ambas-sador from East Tennes-see working with two other schools. Both will be based

at a fi eld service center.How many teachers will

she touch?“Hopefully, every one in

the building,” she said.The ambassadors will be

paid in full by the state next year while serving their res-idency year. Their expenses and benefi ts will be cov-ered and each will receive a $10,000 bonus. In addition, their base school will re-ceive a $20,000 grant to use for program enhancements.

Each ambassador will conduct “frequent and ro-bust regional and school-level training initiatives” and generate a “toolkit of best practices” to share across their region and the state.

The ambassadors were

nominated by principals from Reward Schools – the top 10 percent of schools in Tennessee for performance and progress. Powell High was Knox County’s only high school to achieve this designation.

“There are schools in Tennessee that have shown impressive growth and reached high levels of per-formance thanks to their effective approaches to in-struction and training,” Huffman said when launch-ing the program.

“We want to make sure that other schools can learn from what’s working for them. The department is doing more to facilitate op-portunities to learn from each other.”

Ridenour gets lease as KPD leaves mallThe Knoxville Police De-

partment is leaving Knox-ville Center mall.

City Council approved a new lease for the East substa-tion at its Dec. 20 meeting, and the police department was scheduled to move prior to the Jan. 31 lease expira-tion.

The new facility is at 4450 Walker Blvd. in space leased for $6,250 per month from J.S. Ridenour. The city had

been paying $9,458 monthly for space in the mall.

A city spokesperson con-fi rmed the move and said it was at the request of KPD.

“We have about 100 peo-ple who work out of the East precinct,” said Jesse Fox Mayshark. There are no other substations.

“We just ran out of space at the city’s Safety Building.”

In January 1997, then-Mayor Victor Ashe created

City Hall in the Mall with the KPD precinct and represen-tatives from the city’s fi nance department.

The East precinct serves the area east of Broad-way, while the balance of the city is served from the Safety Building, Mayshark said.

“This will get us into the neighborhood and closer to those we serve.”

First Lions in nation with ‘vision van’

The Smoky Mountain Lions Charities Inc. will be the fi rst Lions in the nation to have a vision van that makes eyeglasses on the spot for people who could not otherwise afford them.

Remote Area Medical donated a fi fth wheel trailer – a traveling eyeglass shop – to the Lions who have worked a year to fi x it up.

The Lions also purchased a small diesel fl atbed truck to pull the trailer.

The Lions will begin with a “test run” before starting service.

The vision van will serve other areas in the Lions District 12-N.

“Absolutely false,” Briggs said.

“I did nothing until I talk-ed to the whole leadership of (anti-billboard citizens’ group) Scenic Knoxville, making it clear that if we didn’t make a compromise, all three ordinances would fail.”

Briggs said he believed that he would lose the votes of Commissioners Ed Shouse and Mike Brown if he dug into an all-or-nothing position.

Commissioners Amy Bro-yles and Sam McKenzie per-suaded Briggs to defer the two ordinances for 90 days and send them to the Met-ropolitan Planning Commis-sion to add use-on-review requirements rather than to withdraw them.

McKenzie warned of “opening up a rabbit hole.”

Broyles argued that hav-ing MPC add use-on-review provisions would be “rea-sonable, simple, easy and it takes care of it without opening a whole big can of worms.”

The amended ordinances passed by a 6-4 vote with R. Larry Smith, Dave Wright, Brad Anders and Jeff Ownby voting no. Mike Hammond was absent.

Joyce Feld and Margot Kline of Scenic Knoxville are standing by Briggs, and say they are pleased with the compromise.

“Richard has been an ab-solutely fabulous partner in this effort,” Feld said. “He has stuck to his word and followed through on every-thing he told us he would do.”

Billboard interests are not happy with the vote, and dropped hints about law-suits.

Briggs said he thinks he did the right thing:

“You get down to a point where everybody’s drawn a line in the sand – all or noth-ing – but we would have had nothing if we hadn’t compro-mised,” Briggs said.

Ordinances must be ap-proved twice, and this one will come up again in Febru-ary.

Knoxville Mayor Madeline Rogero during the club’s Leadership Day. Photo by Wendy Smith

Ossoli Circle observed Leadership Day by inviting two accomplished leaders – UT President Emeritus Joe Johnson and Knoxville Mayor Madeline Rogero – to share their thoughts on the topic.

Leaders ‘make good things happen’

Wendy Smith

Johnson, who served as UT president from 1991 to 1999 and interim president from 2003 to 2004, said leaders are those who make good things happen.

He was mentored by Andy Holt during the early years of his UT career. Holt had never supervised more than fi ve employees before becoming UT president in 1959, Johnson said.

“He knew no more about running a university than my black lab dog.”

But Johnson learned from Holt to surround him-self with capable people. A talented staff should be turned loose – and occa-sionally supervised, he said.

He also shared wisdom from a book written by Jew-ish grandmothers, like “A meowing cat can’t catch a mouse,” “Go to bed with dogs and wake up with fl eas,” and “No answer is an answer,” meaning if you see something amiss, you should speak up.

He’s learned from expe-rience that two short sen-tences help things get ac-complished – “Thank you” and “I’m sorry.”

A sense of humor can also smooth ruffl ed feathers and make life more fun.

“People without it are the most boring people in the world,” he said.

Rogero shared the story of her rise to the city’s top leadership position and en-couraged members of the women’s club to get involved in politics. Each person has the power to transform the community, she said.

She followed the ad-vice “Bloom where you are planted” when she moved to Knoxville 32 years ago. She came for her husband’s ca-reer, but the city wasn’t her fi rst choice. She became ac-tive in the community when she joined the fi ght against the development of a travel trailer park near her North Knoxville neighborhood be-fore the 1982 World’s Fair.

In early 1990, Rogero received a call from an elected offi cial encouraging her to run for Knox County Commission. In addition to being a divorced mother of two with an ethnic name, she didn’t feel qualifi ed to take on long-term Repub-lican incumbent Jesse Ca-wood. But after putting to-gether a list of friends, she decided to throw her hat into the ring.

Rogero was patronized for running her campaign by courting voters, rather than elected offi cials or party bosses. Her opponent once introduced her by say-ing, “This is Madeline Rog-ero. Ain’t she purty?” She won by a landslide.

“I have to say, nobody was surprised more than me.”

She joined veterans Bee

DeSelm and Mary Lou Horner along with Wanda Moody as women on the commission. They were lat-er joined by Diane Jordan and Pat Medley, making six women on the then-19 member body, a record.

After losing her 2003 bid for mayor, Rogero took it upon herself to learn every-thing she could about the city. It paid off when her for-mer opponent, Bill Haslam, appointed her community development director three years later. Since winning the 2011 mayoral race, she’s followed the advice given by Johnson and surrounded herself with good people.

Women can get elected, she said, and shouldn’t let fear of criticism keep them from leading.

“If you can’t run, encour-age others to run.”

The lawsuit challenging TVA’s dress code at public meetings has been trans-ferred in federal court from Judge Thomas Phillips (who is retiring this summer) to Judge Tena Campbell, who is on senior status from Utah but has been hearing cases in the Eastern District of Tennessee for the past several months.

TVA pursues dress code

She has set March 12 at 4 p.m. at the Howard Baker Federal Courthouse in courtroom 1A to hear the Chris Irwin lawsuit against TVA. Actually, she is hear-ing arguments on whether to dismiss the case or not. The public is welcome.

It is amazing TVA is even bothering with dress codes and spending ratepayer money on defending this lawsuit. Who cares if people wear makeup at public hear-ings, face paint or whatever. Chris Irwin (whose views I do not generally support) has a perfect right as a citi-zen in my view to wear face paint and look as serious or silly as he wishes.

It would seem to me with the huge cost overruns TVA has managed to gather that the four new board mem-bers might tell the legal staff to devote their time to more worthwhile endeavors rather than monitoring the attire people wear to public hearings. Don’t they have better things to do?

But still it should be an interesting hearing where you can watch your public money at work. Unless Judge Campbell dismisses the case (rules for TVA and that can be appealed, too) this is but the beginning of the lawsuit.

■ Georgia’s U.S. Sen. Saxby Chambliss, who announced his retirement in 2014, has strong Knoxville ties having graduated from UT College of Law in 1968. His wife taught at Sequoyah Elementary while he was a law student here. Sam and Ann Furrow are good local friends of the couple. Cham-bliss is the only UT College of Law graduate currently serving in the U.S Senate.

■ Former state Sen. Roy Herron was elected to chair the Tennessee Democratic Party on Jan. 26 despite the strong support of Mayor Rogero and the may-

ors of Nashville and Mem-phis for his opponent, Dave Garrison. The three mayors issued a statement for Gar-rison. U.S. Rep. Jim Cooper, the senior congressional Democrat from Tennessee, also backed Garrison.

Locally, former state Sen. Bill Owen, who serves on both the state and national Democratic committees, disregarded Rogero’s advice and actively supported Her-ron. In a statement on why he backed Herron, Owen cited Herron’s longtime public service, his honest image and his work ethic for the party. Owen also men-tioned his longtime friend-ship with Herron from the Legislature. Owen picked the winner.

Given the overwhelming GOP edge in Tennessee and the low numbers for Demo-crats in the Legislature, Herron has almost no way to go but up in rebuilding the party.

Herron is a former minis-ter and author in addition to being a state lawmaker since 1986. He turns 60 this year and is already drawing a pension of $24,000 a year based on 26 years in the Legislature.

Chances of the Demo-crats beating Bill Haslam for governor or Lamar Alex-ander for U.S. Senate next year are dismal. However, there may be opportunities to win some legislative seats in 2014. Herron is a witty, effective public speaker con-sidered more conservative than many Democrats at the national level, but most Ten-nessee Democrats fi t that description.

■ Three Tennessee governors will gather Feb. 21 at the Baker Center for an evening panel discussion on civility in politics. Partici-pating are Gov. Haslam and former Govs. Phil Brede-sen and Don Sundquist. Bredesen and Sundquist ran against each other in 1994 with Sundquist winning. The public is invited to at-tend. The only other living Tennessee governors are Republicans Winfi eld Dunn and Lamar Alexander.

■ The oldest living for-mer U.S. Senator is Harry F. Byrd Jr. of Virginia who is 98 and lives in Winchester, Va., where he once owned the local newspaper. He turns 100 in 2014. He re-cently gave an interview to BBC on his family hosting Winston Churchill at their home during World War II. Originally a Democrat, he became an independent and was elected as such from Virginia.

The county’s 4-year-old billboard moratorium was set to expire Jan. 31, and outdoor advertising compa-nies could have lined up at the door to pull permits Feb. 1 if Commissioner Richard Briggs had withdrawn his ordinances to ban conven-tional billboards and elec-tronic message centers.

Briggs was sponsoring three ordinances – one deal-

ing with c o n v e n -tional bill-boards, one with EMCs and one with digital billboards, e mu l at i n g the city’s ban, which

prohibits new billboards and disallows converting conventional billboards to digital.

The weekend before the Jan. 28 meeting, however, Briggs decided that he didn’t have the votes to ban EMCs and “static billboards,” so on Saturday he posted a mes-

Billboard compromise draws criticism, praise

Briggs

sage on the commission’s on-line forum announcing he would withdraw the fi rst two ordinances and only push the digital billboard ban:

“I have met with several of the smaller, local compa-nies that are based in Knox County. Most are small fam-ily businesses that would be adversely affected by a total ban. ...

“The message I receive is ‘let’s regulate, not ban.’

“The owners are not op-posed to sitting down with the MPC, environmental groups, homeowner asso-ciations, and local govern-ment representatives and working on regulations that everyone can live with.”

His announcement im-mediately drew criticism that he had caved to special interests.

January’s Noah’s Ark-type fl oods had not yet come to the Beaver Creek bot-tomlands when, on Jan. 5, we put up wood duck boxes in the wetlands along my stretch of the creek.

We joined a bright young lady who had crafted some excellent nest boxes as part of a Girl Scout Silver Award project. A family expedition, plus me, to fi nd just the right places for the boxes and to put them up, brought us out on a nice mild January morning.

Lest you think that we were overeager, out there all bundled up, putting up bird nest boxes in the dead of winter, let me remind you that as of now, it is only two months until April! The owls are feeding nestlings, the purple martins’ average ar-rival date is Feb. 12, and the tree swallows will be close behind. It’s time to be clean-ing out those bluebird hous-es and, as we were doing, putting up more housing.

There are 85 species of North American birds that prefer or require cavities in which to hatch and raise their young. Before there were any people around, there were plenty of natural cavities, in large old trees with rotten places and holes where dead limbs had bro-ken off. And the woodpeck-ers were, and still are, prime real estate developers, most of them excavating a new cavity each year for nest-ing, and often, a second one in the fall, for winter roost-

ing. Then the cavity nesters lesser-equipped for excavat-ing wood could move into the abandoned woodpecker holes.

Now, with a lot of our woods giving way to subdi-visions and malls, and over-achieving tidy types cutting all the dead trees and snags in yards and parks, nesting cavities have become scarce. That whole situation was greatly compounded with the arrival of the alien, ag-gressive starlings and house sparrows. They take which-ever nesting holes they want from the smaller birds, toss-ing out the hatchlings and often killing the parents.

On the positive side, a considerable number of our native birds have been given a signifi cant boost in their numbers by humans mak-ing nest boxes. The most noticeable success has been with our eastern bluebirds. The largest and most endur-ing housing development for the birds has happened be-cause of all those folks who through the years have tend-ed to their beloved purple martins.

But many other birds will take to a human-made home: owls, kestrels, wrens (when they’re not nesting in an old hat in your garage), chickadees, titmice, tree

swallows. And that brings us back to the wood ducks, and why the swamp people were down in the creek bottom in January.

There are actually two species of brightly-colored birds in our area that like to live in nest boxes in lowland watery places. The wood duck and the prothonotary warbler both nest in water-oriented habitats. Both like their homes leaning out over the water, if not actually standing in it.

Otherwise the two birds are about as different as any two birds can be. Wood ducks are water birds. They eat stuff that lives in the wa-ter, and their babies can care for themselves and fi nd food almost from the moment they hatch. The warblers are regular bug-eating little land birds; they just happen to

like waterfront property. Wood ducks are wide-

spread now across the east-ern United States, but by the early 1900s they had been hunted nearly to extinction. Hunting laws were passed just in time, and then many wildlife agencies, as well as lots of private citizens, be-gan setting out wood duck nesting boxes such as the ones we were putting up along Beaver Creek. Fortu-nately, the wood ducks have rebounded. They may be our most beautiful duck. Check out that male in his breeding plumage in your bird book!

Their family life is amaz-ing, too. The females lay 10-15 eggs. Then sometimes, other female wood ducks will lay their eggs in there, too, a practice called, appro-priately, “dumping.” The fi rst mama duck can end up with

two or three dozen eggs! When the baby ducks all hatch, they climb out of their nest hole or box, and jump, bounce or splash depending on the nest location. If not near the water, mama duck leads them off, across golf course or busy highway, to the nearest water. The fuzzy baby ducks can swim and fi nd their own food immedi-ately. I have often seen a row of fl uffy wood duck chicks swimming along Beaver Creek behind mama duck. It’s a really nice scene.

Good news for humans: wood ducks exhibit what the ornithologists call strong nest site tenacity. They usu-ally return to the same place to nest, year after year. So we’re hoping our Beaver Creek nest boxes will have tenants this year and next year and on and on. We’ll keep you posted.

That other water-orient-ed, cavity-nesting bird, the prothonotary warbler, also named the golden swamp warbler, is truly golden. They are named after certain Vati-can offi cials who are dressed in splendid golden-yellow robes. The male warbler’s

head, throat and breast light up a gloomy swamp like a ray of sunshine. I saw my fi rst one from a canoe. The bird was making a nest in an old hollow stump by the dark, still waters of the Oke-fenokee Swamp, one of those instant and brief sights you never forget.

Prothonotary warblers live in most of the eastern United States, mainly south of the Ohio River. They es-pecially like willow trees, because they are usually near or in the water and have soft wood that rots quickly to provide good nest holes.

I’ve heard of their nest-ing near the Island Home airport, and around the lake at Kingston. But my favorite place to hear their song in the spring, and usually see them, is Cove Lake State Park. The hollow willow snags standing in the water there make a perfect habi-tat for the golden swamp warblers. I try to go up and stand on the observation platform there at least once every spring just to get my yearly prothonotary warbler fi x.

Prothonotary warblers will use human-made boxes, too. They like boxes about the size of a bluebird box, only with a smaller entrance hole, about 1 ¼ inches. This lets warblers in and keeps some (but not all) other problems out. They lay an unusually large number of eggs for a warbler, 8-10 or so. But their babies follow a more standard program and stay in the nest until they can fl y. And, being out over the water, they have to get it right the fi rst time!

Maybe that’s why they lay so many eggs. Birds can re-ally be interesting.

Isaiah wrote, “The wil-derness and the solitary place shall be glad for them,” and I know (really, I do know) that he was writ-

ing about the Lord’s cho-sen people.

However, today, I smile at this verse of Scripture and take it very personally.

The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.

(Isaiah 35: 1 KJV)

The rainbow comes and goes, And lovely is the rose. Waters on a starry night Are beautiful and fair.

(“The Rainbow,” William Wordsworth)

As Lucy (of Peanuts fame) says to Linus, “I have made up a list for you; I call it ‘Things You Might as Well Know.’”

And here is what you “might as well know”: as I have been explaining to my friends and family, “Well, there is this guy….”

Today, “this guy” sent me

Lovely is the rose a bouquet of yellow roses. For no particular reason, except that recently, he had asked me what my favorite fl ower was, and he always pays attention.

Both of us have been alone for a lot of years (that “solitary place” Isaiah men-tioned), but fortunately each of us also had a friend who encouraged us to step out of our comfort zones, and take a chance.

I frequently ponder the fragile hinges our lives turn on. What if one of us had not heeded the encouragement of our friend? What if one of us had been too afraid to

meet a stranger in a public place? What if we had not felt like old friends from the very beginning? What if he had not had eyes as blue as my father’s?

What if, indeed?But we did heed; we were

not afraid; we did feel com-fortable; he did have ex-traordinarily blue eyes; and I did – quite simply – drown in them.

I believe that “the wilder-ness and the solitary place are glad” for us. I believe that our families and friends are glad that we have found one another. I believe that God had a hand in this and

is pleased that we cooper-ated, and that our lives will be enriched by the joy and contentment we have found.

So what lessons have I learned from this unexpect-ed journey?

Be patient. (God works in God’s own time.)

Pay attention. (You may not see a burning bush, but there will be signs.)

Keep your heart strong. (It is a muscle, after all.)

Don’t settle. (When it’s right, you’ll know.)

And last, but certainly not least, God is good, all the time. (But sometimes, He excels!)

Some former insider will someday tell a color-ful tale of how Tennessee faked out rival recruiters and got away with a high school lad who grew up to be an all-American.

Besides the possibility of cheating and lying, foot-ball recruiting may include cloak-and-dagger stories that are slow to spill out of the closet. That’s how com-petitive recruiting is – a lot of stuff happens and almost anything goes but don’t talk and don’t get caught.

Return with me now to yesteryear, 1927. For some strange reason, Bobby Dodd and Paul Hug didn’t really want to be Volun-teers. They rode the bus from Kingsport to Nash-

You might not believe this but …

ville with the idea of play-ing for Vanderbilt. Dodd’s grades were suspect but both signed some kind of papers and were all set to be Commodores.

Robert R. Neyland did not like this news. He wanted Hug and would take Bobby to get Paul. Knoxville sporting goods dealer Frank Callaway was appointed to investigate. He drove to Nashville for

what he considered a res-cue mission.

The rules of that day said a player wasn’t officially in school until he played a game. Callaway went on campus, found the players and explained their mis-take. They repented, gath-ered possessions, squeezed into Callaway’s car and drove east on a sunny Sep-tember afternoon.

Dodd and Hug enrolled at Tennessee the next morning at 10. They were called transfers. That af-ternoon they played in a freshman game, 45-0 over Murphy Institute.

Vanderbilt and others screamed foul. Neyland re-mained silent but suppos-edly smiled.

There was a great tug of war for Richmond Flow-ers of Montgomery, Ala. Schools across America wanted him for football and track but the recruit-ing race came down to Ala-bama and Tennessee. Paul Bryant promised to hire a track coach and build a track. Tennessee had a track and a track coach, Chuck Rohe, and a bright, young football coach, Doug Dickey.

Bryant didn’t dig deep enough to realize he never had a chance. Richmond was fed up with how racial hatred in Alabama politics affected his father. He was going out of state.

Richmond also recog-nized the University of

Tennessee as a bit more so-phisticated and cosmopoli-tan than Alabama, more of a melting pot. Tell your Tide friends it remains so.

UT assistant Clifton Stewart was point man in the long, hard recruitment of Stanley Morgan of Eas-ley, S.C. Morgan’s commit-ment was a big prize for Bill Battle and his staff.

Joy soon took a strange turn. Paul Dietzel, then coach at South Carolina, told Battle that the Game-cocks had to sign Morgan or he would be fired.

Battle’s first coaching job had been with Dietzel at West Point. This dilem-ma was heavy. Bill owed a debt of gratitude to Dietzel but worked for Tennessee.

A Clemson source, mon-itoring Morgan, soon told Tennessee that the super-star was going to South

Carolina. Clifton rushed to Easley, to the little frame house with the old Plym-outh in the yard. The Mor-gans were gone. Neighbors said Stanley’s mother had a new job, a new car and a new place to live.

Clifton found Mrs. Morgan. She confirmed that her new “opportuni-ties” were related to Stan-ley’s decision to become a Gamecock.

A few days later, she called Tennessee. She had quit her job, given up the new house and given back the new Lincoln. She said her son had not smiled once since she had made him switch sides. Sheasked if Tennessee would still take him.Other recruiting stories are in Marvin

By Cindy TaylorPastor Marc Sasser and

the community of believ-ers at Callahan Road Bap-tist Church are affecting change in their section of north Knox County and beyond.

When Sasser, wife Laura and sons Rick and Jeremy came to the church seven years ago, the congrega-tion was fundraising for a new building.

“The church bought the property 40 years ago,” said Sasser. “Through God’s grace we were able to build the new church four years ago.”

The original chapel was packed at 150. The mem-bers made the short move across the street to the new sanctuary that now houses more than 300. Staff offic-es and some Sunday school classes are still located

in the old building, but change is in the air again.

“We had the old build-ing on the market and were hoping to give another church the opportunity to buy it,” said Sasser. “We have built a relationship with a group of believers from Kenya who have pur-chased the property.”

The original building

will take on the new name of Imani, which in Swahili means faith. Sasser said the proceeds from the sale will be used to expand the new building which is al-ready out of space.

The youth ministry is growing thanks to the do-nation of a structure that was moved from another location. Once used as a liquor store, the building has been converted to a youth center.

“Our theory is that there was devastation coming out of that building through the industry of alcohol and now we’re going to use it for good,” said Sasser.

The church will con-tinue to host a free family-oriented drive-in movie every Friday night during the summer. Snacks are sold at cost.

Anyone in need can visit the church’s food pan-try during weekdays. On the second Tuesday of the month, dairy is added to foods distributed. No one

is turned away, but for sub-sequent visits people will be directed to a food bank in their own community if their zip code differs from 37912.

The church supports lo-cal and foreign missions and also holds a quarterly ministry at nearby motels.

“We share Jesus with people who are staying at the motels,” said Sasser. “They are loved on and fed.”

The church family is keenly interested in the fu-ture of those in their com-munity and those who may just be passing through. Their plan is to love, feed, befriend and share Christ with the hope of building a relationship.

“We are unapologetic,” said Sasser. “We’re going to throw you a rope. If you pull that rope, we’re coming.”

Callahan Road Baptist is located at 1317 Callahan Road. Sunday worship is at 11 a.m. Info: 938-3410.Reach Cindy Taylor at brentcindyt@

“Our mission is to give students an additional quality venue for perfor-mance and positive cri-tique,” said Alex Rector, assistant band director at HVA. “This is a competi-tion in the sense that units are ranked according to achievement. However, it is important for each indi-vidual to feel a sense of ac-complishment.

“For this reason, we want to congratulate every stu-dent, instructor, director and parent who has dedicat-ed the time and resources to give what it takes to be a

Reach Them to Teach ThemBy Sara Barrett

In 2006, Amy Crawford was about to return to teach-ing after leaving a position at A.L. Lotts Elementary School three years earlier to start a family. In her new 8th-grade teaching position at West Val-ley Middle School, she found herself teaching some of the same students she had known as 3rd graders.

“For me, as an educator, it was really insightful,” said Crawford. “Once I got into the classroom and saw how the kids had changed, it was a real eye-opening experience.

“Instead of coming in with shining eyes and leaning for-ward to listen with interest,” Crawford said, the students were now “real dull, apathet-ic … they went from being thirsty (in the 3rd grade) to being drenched.”

Crawford said her students were still the good kids she had known before. They did what she asked them to do, but they had lost their passion for learn-ing. This made her think of a quote she had heard from a fel-low educator:

“They come in to the schools as ques-tion marks, and they leave as periods.”

“They change from ‘show me, tell me, who, what, how,’ to ‘it is what it is,’” Crawford said.

After praying about it, Crawford lis-tened to a cassette by the 1986 Nation-al Teacher of the Year, Dr. Guy Doud, which she had received in 1988 when she got her fi rst teaching job. She heard his inspirational stories of what really mattered to his students, and stories of the students who asked him to stand up with them on senior night because their parents weren’t available.

“Anytime I got overwhelmed look-ing at data and thinking about teach-ing technique, I would lose my joy for teaching and I would listen to that tape on my way home,” said Crawford.

She listened to Doud’s message and realized the technical part of teaching “will always be part of it, but not the part of it. The part that matters most i s t h e s e students who sit in my class every day, and I can make a dif-ference in their lives.”

Crawford began asking other teach-ers at West Valley if they were getting the same sort of feelings about their roles and what they were seeing in their students. Their answers were similar.

Around this same time, Crawford assigned a writing assignment to her class. She asked them to write a poem by completing sentences such as “I am

founder of Reach Them to Teach Them. Photo by S. Barrett

…” and “I feel …” One student’s work struck a chord with her. He had always sat quietly and didn’t really show an interest in learning. When she read his poem, it included lines such as “I worry that my future will be me, myself and I,” and “I am the cheese and the world is the mouse.”

Crawford knew then that she want-ed to do something, but she wasn’t sure where to start. She wondered if she could get Guy Doud to visit Knoxville.

Crawford contacted Doud. She knew his speaking fee was $3,500 and she didn’t have any idea how to raise the money. She just knew he had to come.

“I wouldn’t be in education right now if it weren’t for him.”

She formed a group of teachers and friends, who now call themselves the Dream Team, to help spread the word about the event.

In her Bible study class, Crawford was

asked to think of a goal big-ger than herself

that would require divine intervention to make it happen. When

she told her study group about sched-uling Doud to speak, they offered to do whatever needed to be done to make it happen.

Shortly before the event took place, Crawford checked her mailbox at school and found a cashier’s check for $3,000 made out to her with the purchaser named as “The Dear Lord.” The reason

listed on the check was “His purpose.” “My knees gave out when I saw that

check. At that moment, I said ‘God, you know me, you know my insecurities, my failures, my faults. If you can use me knowing how short I fall, you’ve got me.’

“My life was changed from that day forward. To this day, I still don’t know who the check was from.”

The night before students came back from summer break, Doud spoke to an audience of about 500 at Cedar Springs Presbyterian Church. Based on audience feedback, Crawford be-lieved the event had been a success.

The Dream Team grew to about 60 people who had become just as excit-ed about the event as Crawford. They wanted to know where things would go from there. Reach Them to Teach Them was born.

“When you attend the (Reach Them to Teach Them) events, you get the type of support that you don’t get anywhere else,” said Karla Halcomb, a Dream Team member and instructional coach with Knox County Schools. “It fi lls a huge gap. It gives you that deep breath you need.”

“It is our mission to care,” said Crawford, referring to the role of a teacher. “We have to care about our data, we have to care about our num-bers and our graphs.

“I understand that accountability matters. I understand that we have to have a way to measure effectiveness and we want our students to achieve academic standards. But my 20 years in the classroom has taught me that

if we build a foundation of a mutually positive relationship with a child, that child will do everything he or she can to ex-ceed our expectations.”

The Reach Them to Teach Them annual event, which is given a different name each year, has grown to fi ll the Tennessee Theatre. Crawford shares her story of inspiration, and radio talk show host Hal-lerin Hill serves as MC for the evening in addition to sharing his own inspirational words. Hill has played a big part in every event since 2006.

Special guest speakers have included Truett Cathy, the founder of Chick-fi l-A res-taurants and national motiva-tional speaker Don Bartlette.

Members of the community who want to make a difference can sponsor a seat for a teach-er at the event.

“We don’t want anyone to pay to attend,” said Crawford. Dinner is served and each at-tendee receives a special gift to remember the message of the evening.

Reach Them to Teach Them continues to gain momentum. Teach-ers from Kentucky are now traveling to Knoxville each year to attend the event. The group is also holding a sec-ond event this year in Chattanooga for the fi rst time with Guy Doud as the speaker.

“There is a national need for this,” Crawford said, “if we could do this full-time and have some grants or grow it in some way. This is defi nitely a faith-based organization, and as long as I’m the president of it, that will not change.”

“Teachers are telling us that they need more of this,” said Halcomb.

Crawford says the sky is the limit. She hopes the organization can begin holding regular meetings for teachers to offer moral support, as well as work-shops where they can learn more than statistics and data.

Businesses including Food City and Bread Box have helped with fees, al-though the group is still struggling.

Crawford feels blessed to have been a part of the experience.

“There are still days when I think, ‘Is this real? Am I going to wake up and this will have been a dream?’”

The main point she hopes teachers – and anyone else who has a role in a child’s life – take away from the events is to know that the most important thing they can tell that child is, “You matter. You are here for a reason.”

First Baptist Academy of Powell has done something it’s been trying to do for awhile – establish a full sports program.

After joining TSSAA just in time for basketball season, games were scheduled with local schools – both private and public. The team could not establish a full schedule for basketball, and leaders opted not to compete in postseason tournaments this year, even if eligible.

The boys fi rst played Concord Christian School, losing 42-22. The February schedule (from the team’s website) shows games with Concord Christian (boys) at home Monday, Feb. 11, at 5:30 p.m.; Temple Baptist Academy (girls at 6 p.m. and boys at 7:30), away, Friday, Feb. 15; Apostolic (5:30 and 7 p.m.), away, Thursday, Feb. 21. and a season-ending tournament at home on Tuesday, Feb. 26.

The teams plan on playing a full basketball schedule next season and will try to compete in postseason tournaments.

Basketball isn’t where

First Baptist Academy joins TSSAA

First Baptist intends to stop, though. Earlier in the year, FBA had a cross-country season and a girls’ soccer season. Expansion will continue in the spring with a boys’ soccer team and a track team.

Other major sports such as football and baseball will have to wait as these would require a good number of students to fi eld a team. As enrollment increases in the next few years, the school plans to implement these and other sports into the program.

Could the Powell Panthers have a new cross-town rival in a few years with First Baptist Academy?

It’s not impossible. As FBA builds, things might get interesting. And if you’re a sports fan, what’s not exciting about that?

dent Jason Hamilton has been a successful produc-tion designer in Los Ange-les since 1996. He’s received industry recognition, like his recent Art Directors Guild nomination for excel-lence in production design in commercials for Bud-weiser’s “Return of the King” ad, which aired during last year’s Super Bowl. And he’s worked with numerous in-dustry giants on commer-cials, music videos, fi lms and photography.

But he has just one goal for 2013 – to spend more time with his family. Yes, he’s found success, but it’s come through hard work. Hundred-hour work weeks aren’t uncommon, he says.

“There’s defi nitely not a lot of slacking. It’s not as fun as people think. We have to put in a lot of hours.”

He’d have a hard time con-vincing anybody that he’s not

Central grad enjoys L.A.

Clinton Highway, Maryville and now Halls.

“We’re proud to be in Halls and we’re offering a free MVP (see ad in the Jan. 28 Shop-per).

“We’re like the McDonald’s of hair cutting. The experi-ence is the same at any store and your hair will look the same. Yes, we make it easy.”

having fun, though. For one thing, he enjoys the profes-sional company of two Knox-ville-area friends. His art di-rector is Colby Woodland, his best friend since 8th grade. They graduated from Central High School together. He met

prop master Orion Cox from Oak Ridge when they worked together on a fi lm.

For another thing, he gets to do cool stuff. Production designers translate words into reality, Hamilton explains. He works closely with directors to

create the physical forms re-quired by scripts. That means creating a color palette, guid-ing wardrobe decisions and working with the director of photography.

“We set the stage, in es-sence,” he says.

Hamilton’s work is familiar to anyone who watches televi-sion. In addition to “The Re-turn of the King,” which art-fully depicts the end of prohi-bition, he worked on spots for Nike’s “Find Your Greatness” campaign that aired dur-ing last summer’s Olympic games. He also worked on the promotion for Taco Bell’s Doritos Locos tacos. That job had a nice perk, he says.

“I got to eat one of the perfect ones.”

Last fall, he traveled to Iceland to shoot an HP printer commercial set in a fi shing village. A freak storm delayed fi lming for a few days, and he was happy to return to the California sunshine.

Hamilton has spent enough time around the Hol-lywood elite that he is no longer dazzled by the likes of Jennifer Lopez and George Clooney. He worked with Clooney once, and says the actor was as impressed by the crew as they were by him.

People are people, after all.But he admits to be-

ing starstruck twice. The first time was when he worked on his first music video with rocker Ozzy Osbourne. The second was when he and his wife, Cassiel, saw Paul “Bear” Vasquez, the star of a viral video about a double rain-bow, at a restaurant.

The Hamiltons are the proud parents of two daugh-ters: Izzy, 4, and Bowie, 2. They bring the family to Knoxville at least once a year to visit with Jason’s parents, Larry and Sharlyn Bolinger of Bearden, and James Hamilton.

The 17th annual Art Di-rectors Guild Awards were announced on Saturday, Feb. 2, so winners were not available at press time. This year’s Super Bowl Budweiser commercial was also still un-der wraps at press time, but Hamilton shared one not-so-surprising detail.

“The Clydesdales are in it.”

Please make your plans now to be a part of this terrifi c event, and allow us to help in any way that we can as you prayerfully con-sider your child’s educational opportunities.

Open house Feb. 10

By Shannon MorrisThe Grace Christian Acade-

my drama department cordially invites you to enjoy the upcom-ing presentation of “The Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe,” based on the book by C.S. Lewis.

The high school drama de-partment is proud to present this amazing story, which fea-tures a cast of 33 students (15 cast members and 19 extras). The production tells the story

of three children who discover a wardrobe closet that, upon entering, opens the door to ad-venture and discovery.

The beautiful costumes for the production were designed by Dewayne and Sandy Clift, and the incredible set was cre-ated by Jeff Delaney, who is noted for his work on the Nativ-ity Pageant of Knoxville, along with the design skills of Karyn Sloas and Teresa McNelly.

This is a true dramatic pre-sentation, as the show will have no music or choreography. The students, under the direction of GCA drama teacher Tonya Wil-son, have been working very hard to create a top-quality show that both the school fam-ily and the public will be sure to enjoy. Join us at 1 p.m. or 7 p.m. Feb. 12, in the Grace Baptist Church Worship Center. Ad-mission is free.

By Shannon MorrisEach year, Grace Christian

Academy hosts Spiritual Em-phasis Week for the middle school and high school students. This year’s event, which was held Jan. 28 through Feb. 1, was called “Tear Down the Walls, Break Free, Twenty Thirteen,” and proved to be yet another powerful time of spiritual re-freshment and renewal for the students and faculty.

The guest speaker, the Rev. Paul Woods, challenged students in the areas of breaking down any walls or barriers that sepa-rate us from being what Christ wants them to be. For students, those walls often are comprised of the typical negative tempta-tions like drugs and alcohol. However, even some things we might not think of as evil, such as social media, video games, mov-ies and television, can distract us from our spiritual development. Students were challenged to rec-ognize and prevent such things from becoming walls that divide and distract them as they seek to follow God.

‘Tearing Down the Walls’

Woods is the youth pastor at Trinity Baptist Church in Jack-sonville, Fla. He is the Profes-sor of Youth Ministry at Trinity Baptist College. Serving in youth ministry for 18 years, Woods has a unique understanding of students in a Christian school environment, as he also assists at Trinity Christian School in Jacksonville. Woods was used by God in a mighty way during this critical week at Grace, and our campus has experienced a fresh excitement about living for Christ in all areas of life.
