Let’s move on downtown improvements

Ideas for bringing more visitors downtown, along with more opportunities for locals to invest in business there, are brought up frequently in gatherings and are the focus of Maynardville’s Downtown Revitalization committee.

The group meets today, Wednesday, Oct. 29, at 9:30 a.m. at Maynardville City Hall. The agenda is mainly the “multi-modal” grant in the works, which would provide funds for crosswalks, fl ashing lights and sidewalks.

A big crowd breaks ground for the new Luttrell City Hall in front of the existing community center/library: Earl

Stowers, David Williams, Jody Smith, Barry Corum, Lloyd Raley, Mike Williams, Dennis Powers, Chuck Fleis-

chmann, Phil Ruth, Johnny Merritt, Hannah Merritt, Steve Nisley (with Rick Walker behind him), Curtis Whitson,

Andy Williams, Billy Breeding and Andrew Merritt.

By Libby MorganIn Luttrell’s 50th year, the city has seen

road and sewer improvements, new bridges in the works, and now, ground has been broken for the new city hall.

It will be built in front of the community building on Tazewell Pike, just south of the in-tersection of Highways 131 and 61.

The current city hall is located on Hwy. 61, and is in “such bad shape we just decided to use the insurance money from the fi re damage to put toward a new one,” says Mayor Johnny Merritt.

“This is a special day. I’m very humbled to be here with all of these good people. It just

seems everything’s going our way.”During a City Council meeting following the

groundbreaking ceremony, state Rep. Dennis Powers discussed Constitutional amendments 1 through 4, and explained the history of the bills.

The council approved a loan for the building for $200,000 or less.

A public meeting with TDOT offi cials will be held on Thursday, Nov. 13, at 6 p.m. at the community/senior center to discuss road im-provements in and around Luttrell.

“I hope we get a crowd for the meeting. We all need to be there,” says Merritt.

The plan is funded by state road safety mon-

ey to improve switchback curves and danger-ous intersections on Hwy. 61, install bridges on Jim Town Road and Front Street and other projects.

Merritt said sewer work is ongoing and on schedule. Funding for the project is a $500,000 HUD Community Development Block Grant.

Local Parks and Recreation Fund grant money of $200,000 will be used at Luttrell Park, adjacent to the community center, to re-surface the trail, to add a trail connecting an enlarged parking lot behind the existing center and for lighting.

“We’re locking arms and we have strength in numbers. All this progress is exciting.”

Landmark day for LuttrellGroundbreaking for new city hall

By Sandra ClarkDr. Jimmy Carter, director of

schools, has tasked Trevor Collins with teacher development toward a goal of improved math scores, especially in elementary schools and Horace Maynard Middle School. Collins addressed the Board of Education last week.

“We’re making growth in grades 3-5,” he said. “Last year we didn’t know how teachers were doing un-til almost the end of the year. Now we’re seeing (test scores) every two to three weeks.”

Part of the progress, he said, has come from reducing the num-b er of tests from 27 to just six, given at the end of every unit. Teachers meet twice monthly to plan lessons. And a “math coach” helps teachers whose students are struggling.

Collins shared data that could prove most anything. This writer’s takeaway is that third graders are performing better than fi fth grad-ers and seventh graders are per-forming better than eighth graders

(on average) at the middle school. As these younger students move to

higher grades, the expectation would be that the higher scores move with them, even as younger students move in with still higher scores.

Carter said he “made a conscious decision to start

with math,” for the intensive work. He wants to sponsor a math bowl (maybe an academic bowl) for grades 3-8 this spring.

In other action on Oct. 23, the school board:

■ Named members of a math textbook selection committee

■ Voted to surplus a storage trailer at Sharps Chapel School

■ Increased lunch prices for adults and visitors, effective Nov. 1, to comply with federal regula-tions. Adult lunch prices will go from $2.50 to $3.35, breakfast from $1.50 to $2.25, and holiday

meals will be $4. Director Mary Effl er said there had been no in-crease in at least 15 years, and federal law requires adult meals to be priced “at least the amount of reimbursement received for a free lunch plus the per-meal value of donated items.”

■ Allowed the band to replace its concession stand at the foot-ball fi eld. Director Rodney Brown said there’s substantial decay with the current structure and it’s not worth saving. He said $1,100 in materials was donated, most from Railroad Salvage.

■ Designated Dr. Nancy Lopez as supervising physician for phy-sician assistants working in public schools.

■ Hired Drs. Barry Golden and Joann Cady from UT’s math department in the College of Edu-cation to provide professional de-velopment for teachers at Horace Maynardville Middle School. The state required the hiring of con-sultants.

By Sandra ClarkJerry Wear reminded ev-

eryone pres-ent why it’s b e n e f i c i a l for all con-cerned to join Rotary. “He made it come alive,” said assis-tant district g o v e r n o r

Randy Corlew. Wear and his wife, Linda, were guests of North Knoxville Rotary Club.

The retired Sevier Coun-ty educators have traveled extensively since Jerry was elected district governor, Linda said. He’s visited 51 of the district’s 65 clubs.

Jerry Wear said Rotary

does a lot of good, both lo-cally and internationally, but doesn’t do such a good job of telling about it. “It’s not bragging if you tell what you do and why you do it.”

He spoke of three proj-ects funded through the Ro-tary Foundation: a cleft pal-ate program and orphanage, both in Mexico, and Rotary International’s signature project to eradicate polio.

But with all the good Ro-tary does, “your fi rst obliga-tion is to serve the people around you – right here,” Wear said.

Pointing to his fl ashy necktie, a gift from Gary C.K. Huang, Rotary’s inter-national president, Wear said Huang’s message is “Light up Rotary.”

Jerry Wear says,‘Light up Rotary’

By Betsy PickleThe annual Legacy Parks

Foundation Luncheon cel-ebrates successes and looks to the future of the outdoors in Knoxville. This year’s fundraising event features a speaker with similar expe-rience in a different Tennes-see city.

U.S. Sen. Bob Corker, who served as Chattanoo-ga’s mayor 2001-2005, will speak at the luncheon, set for 11:30 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 5, on the Urban Wilderness’s site donated by the Wood family in 2013.

“Outdoor Chattanooga was his initiative,” says Car-ol Evans, executive director of Legacy Parks Foundation. “He commissioned a study for Chattanooga on what they should be, and out of that came Outdoor Chatta-nooga. That actually became a division of their parks de-partment, and it really set a course for the city, I think.

“It caused them to move ahead with embracing the outdoor assets – ahead of us.”

In the past few years, two outdoor magazines have named Chattanooga the country’s top outdoor city.

“Economically, it works,” Evans says of promoting outdoor activities and cul-ture. “This year they trans-formed one of their down-town blocks into an outdoor climbing wall.”

She says Corker’s appear-ance will not be about poli-tics.

“It’s about him being able to speak to what it means to take advantage of what you have.”

The luncheon, which is expected to draw around

Chattanooga’s outdoor success story

800 attendees, is being held at the Wood site off Taylor Road “to call attention to what we hope will emerge out of that property and out of the end of the James White Parkway,” Evans says.

“The big vision would be that the end of the James White Parkway is not an end; it’s a beginning and an entry into the Urban Wilder-ness and a beautiful gate-way into South Knoxville. … There are 11 acres at the end of the parkway that TDOT owns and has indicated they would like for the city to have. Hopefully that can be land that we end up connect-ing to the Wood property.”

The land is adjacent to South-Doyle Middle School and its outdoor classroom, providing an opportunity to connect students with areas

where they can walk and play.At last year’s luncheon,

Gov. Bill Haslam announced a $200,000 Recreational Trails Program grant for Legacy Parks to create trails on the Wood land. The funds were delayed for 2014 disbursement, but Evans says that has worked to the advantage of the site.

Legacy Parks had come up with a trails plan, but while waiting for the money to come through, they were approached by the Universi-ty of Tennessee’s Landscape Architecture program. Fac-ulty and students have been working to assess and in-ventory the property and to make recommendations.

Evans says the trail de-signs can be modifi ed based on the group’s fi ndings.

“It’s not just thinking of

the 100 acres as a locationfor trail, but truly as an openforest and what should we bedoing with that,” she says.

While Legacy Parks is pri-marily known for helping thecity develop parks in SouthKnoxville, the group is creat-ing a stormwater demonstra-tion park in Northwest KnoxCounty, working on creatingpublic access points alongthe French Broad, Holstonand Tennessee rivers, anddeveloping equestrian trailsin East Knox County. LegacyParks also helped raise fundsfor Clayton Park in Hallsand managed Seven IslandsWildlife Refuge for four yearsuntil it became a state park.

Last week we started a newspaper.

Here come the Growlers

Sandra Clark

On Wednesday, my Ar-my-style volunteers Carol Springer and Ruth White and I headed to Sarah Moore Greene Magnet Academy, where principal Susan Es-piritu and an energized staff are creating a community school.

Our newspaper club is one of 15 that meet weekly after school to engage small groups. We’ll fi nd out today if our student journalists volunteered Army-style, too.

It won’t matter. As long as people have stories to tell and opinions to share, there will be newspapers.

Our graphics folks cre-ated fi ve choices for the name (my favorite is SMG Growlers), and sure enough one group picked “Shark Tales” and the older, wiser kids picked “Grizzly Growlers.”

We will invite guests from the neighborhood to be interviewed. Kids will take pictures, ask questions and write, write, write. We’ll publish weekly online and via computer printer.

And the best stuff I’ll share here.

Writers must believe that others care what we think. Whether we transmit by type, byte or smoke signals, self-confi dence (ego) is the root of publishing. And I’m going to reach these kids with that attitude.

We’re going to have fun, fun, fun – and the loudest laughs will be mine.Sandra Clark is editor/publisher of Shop-per-News. Reach her at 865-661-8777 or [email protected].

HEALTH NOTES

Facing the courthouse was a “Café” where breakfast, lunch and gossip were on the menu. Photo by Libby Morgan

In last week’s front page story, Sandra Clark remind-ed Union Countians “It’s coming” with a story about Hwy 33 improvements from Halls to the county line.

In Union County, the state is buying property along the highway from the Knox/Union line to the Maynardville city limits for the not-so-distant plan to widen the entire length of road.

It is coming. There’s an undercurrent of optimism and pride bubbling to the surface more and more all the time.

And in the center of May-nardville’s universe, facing the front of the courthouse, a building that once housed a row of busy small busi-nesses sits blank and empty, a reminder that Maynard-ville’s heart has a hole it in. A big, in-your-face hole. Just like the hole in the roof of said building.

One county offi cial says, “If you’re up on the roof of the courthouse, you can see a big hole in the roof that’s been there for years.”

The location is key to

downtown revitalization plans, and seems to be locked up tight.

It was built in the early ′60s and has housed the Maynardville Post Offi ce, a printing business, a busy breakfast and lunch café, a consignment shop, even a chocolate factory.

A couple of blocks south of the courthouse, the old movie theater also sits emp-ty and rapidly degrading.

“It’s just a cryin’ shame that historic building is just sitting there, going down-hill,” says one old-timer. “We used to leave school and go watch a movie for 10 cents. It was a wonderful experience. It’s such a cool-looking building, too.”

Within a block of the courthouse, the Chamber offi ce and Union County

Arts anchor a hopeful re-surgence of retail presence downtown.

County offi ces, an insur-ance offi ce, a barber shop, the funeral home and attor-neys’ offi ces are just about all that’s left of older busi-nesses, staying steady with their crucial services.

The progress of Jeff Chesney’s new building a block north of the court-house is on hold for the time being while he heals from an injury. He plans to open a café and ice cream parlor.

Quite a few of the down-town dwellers maintain their historic homes beauti-fully.

Bob and Catherine Mon-roe live in the house her an-cestors built on Main Street nearly 100 years ago. From outside appearances, it looks just as it did then.

“We’ve remodeled the inside several times,” says Catherine.

She and her husband do everything they can to keep their neighborhood vibrant. The couple hosts trick-or-treaters every year with

spooky decorations. Cath-erine says she’ll be the scary witch again this year.

Just before a recent Fri-day afternoon farmers mar-ket, Bob noticed the lawn behind Union County Arts needed mowing, and just went over and did it, apolo-gizing for the quality of the job. He says his mower isn’t the greatest.

Ideas for bringing more visitors downtown, along with more opportunities for locals to invest in business there, are brought up fre-quently in gatherings and are the focus of Maynard-ville’s Downtown Revital-ization committee.

The group meets today, Wednesday, Oct. 29, at 9:30 a.m. at Maynardville City

Hall. The agenda is mainlythe “multi-modal” grant inthe works, which would pro-vide funds for crosswalks,fl ashing lights and side-walks.

The owner of the buildingacross from the courthouse,who also owns the old mov-ie theater, declined to com-ment.

Old-time Halloween: More tricks than treats

Still, many children do not celebrate Halloween now because of some harm-ful incidents in the recent past. Nowadays, to provide a safer environment for our children, churches are host-ing trunk-or-treat. Others go in groups to local corn mazes and pumpkin festi-vals. Perhaps the fall pump-kin chunkin [pronounced punkin chunkin] compares to the tomato wars of sum-

mer as a fun outing for kids. The winner is whoever can toss the pumpkin the far-thest.

This is not the way I re-member celebrating Hal-loween. First of all, people were not afraid of being harmed. Kids were welcomed, and every treat was safe; no one even thought of harming our children. There were no party stores back then, so buying a costume was unheard of. Anyway, farm peo-ple would have considered it a gross waste of money to buy a costume to be worn once and passed on. I do not remember anyone having a Halloween party when I was growing up. I do remember there was no need to pre-

pare 50 bags of goodies as is expected today, because there were not that many

children within walk-ing distance of us.

What I also re-member is the cre-ativity in fi guring out how to create a costume and how to disguise our-

selves in a fun way. We might walk three miles just to go to three or

four houses. One disguise was for boys to dress as girls and girls as

boys. Some would use lamp black (soot)

to blacken their faces, use lots of really red lipstick or put a white paste on their faces to be a ghost. Overalls and an old straw hat helped to create the scarecrow look. A white sheet or cloth

A display case on the upper level contained me-mentos from the county’s and building’s past, but the feature that caught the eye almost immediately upon entering was a huge portrait of the gentleman for whom the county seat and building was named.

The room was the Hor-ace Maynard High School (HMHS) library, and the portrait was of one of the founding fathers of Union County, The Honorable Horace Maynard, attor-ney and statesman. Union County’s seat of govern-ment and the county’s only high school (both the fi rst and second buildings) were named for him in apprecia-tion of his efforts in defend-

ing Union County against a lawsuit that threatened its continuing existence as a Tennessee jurisdiction in the early 1850s.

The HMHS library and its artifacts were me-ticulously maintained by Ms. Kathleen Graves. Ms. Graves served not only as librarian, but also as the journalism instructor. The journalism classes pub-lished the Horace Maynard High yearbook, The Echo. The yearbooks edited by Ms. Graves and her stu-dents were of superb quality – I am doubtful if one gram-matical error can be found in any Echo pages.

Ms. Graves was a helpful, kind and gracious librarian, a most genteel lady, talented

writer and historian. The fi rst of her writings that I read was an article in the Union News Leader titled “Eulogy on the Passing of a Friend,” written in honor of my former teacher and Ms. Graves’ friend, Ms. Ma-rie Lynch. I remember Ms. Graves describing Ms. Ma-rie as “always impeccably dressed.”

Ms. Graves also co-au-thored several books that have kept Union County history alive, most notably “Our Union County Heri-tage (Volumes 1 and 2)” with Ms. Winnie McDonald and “The Last Echo” with Lois Campbell Hartsell.

When the newly-con-structed Union County High School opened in 1997,

Horace Maynard’s portrait was moved from the build-ing in which it had resided for almost half a century to the Union County Ge-nealogical and Historical Society, where it continues to be proudly displayed. In continuing respect for the services Mr. Maynard ren-dered to Union County, his name continues to grace the second building that bore his name, presently called Horace Maynard Middle School (HMMS).

While my memories of the Horace Maynard High School library are warm, I didn’t see that room on my fi rst day as a HMMS stu-dent. Next week I will recall my fi rst memorable day as an eighth grader at HMMS.

wrapped over the shoulders let you go as an angel with cardboard wings. A witch could be created by wear-ing a black dress or robe, wearing a tall cone hat and straddling a broom. I don’t remember exactly what was used, but I think it was a black chewing gum put over your front teeth to make a snaggle-toothed person.

The best costume I can think of at the moment is when a friend went “Hal-loweening” in a cardboard refrigerator box painted up as radio station BR 1549. He cut out the eyes, the nose, mouth and arms to wear the box. It was a hoot. Happy Halloween!

Natives are nervous. They are beginning to fi dget and squirm and ask each other how long does it take. Are the famous bricks fi t-ting together? Can you see any progress?

Mike Strange, classy columnist in the other Knoxville paper, asked in-teresting Tennessee-type questions last week.

Do you quietly covet Gus Malzahn or Hugh Freeze for their quick turnarounds at Auburn and Ole Miss?

Are you a little worried that Mark Stoops is doing for Kentucky what James Franklin did for Vanderbilt?

Do you still cling to the plan that 2015 will be a breakthrough year? Or have you pushed it back to 2016? Do you believe the quarter-back of the future is on cam-pus or on the commitment list?

There are other ques-

How long to rebuild?

tions Mike didn’t ask. If youth and inexperience in the offensive line are valid excuses for losing South-eastern Conference games, how come senior linemen with extensive experience didn’t win more last season?

Oh, I remember, the de-fense was too slow and there was a shortage of receivers. And the Vols couldn’t gain a yard when the need was critical.

Last season ultimately came down to two late-game drives that Tennessee couldn’t stop, one by Geor-gia, one by Vanderbilt. The Bulldogs drove 75 yards

and tied that game with fi ve seconds left. They won in overtime after Pig Howard lost his grip on the football while fl ying to the pylon.

The Commodores, aided by an overturned fourth-and-inches play, scored the winning touchdown with 16 seconds left after driving 92 yards.

This year is coming down to dramatic improvement in November or another bowl season by the fi reside. The Vols still have four chances to win three.

History says things are generally unsatisfactory when a coach is fi red and a new guy comes in. There are different degrees of bad. Tennessee was medium low but above awful. Facilities weren’t the problem. There were resources and tradi-tion.

I’m reasonably sure re-covery depends on inher-

ited players, prep and junior college evaluations, recruit-ing skills, motivation, orga-nization, development and luck. Lumped together, the solution is called coaching.

Most of all, recovery de-pends on whether the new coach can change the cul-ture and has or can get a quarterback. Some coaches know what they need and fi nd a fi t. Others adapt to what is available.

Example: We now know it is virtually impossible to operate a zone read of-fense without blocking and a quarterback who can run at least some. We also know there is very little mystery in what passes for zone read if there is no quarterback threat.

Replacement coach-es come with different strengths and weaknesses. Butch Jones is paid at a championship level to pro-duce excellent results. I think he is a world-class salesman. He is producing recruiting results. If he can keep doing it without win-

ning, he is indeed amazing.The UT problem is dif-

ferent from Auburn’s before Malzahn. The Tigers had players and surprisingly poor coaching. Tennessee was/is short on talent.

The Mississippi rise is more relevant. Freeze implemented a dramatic switch from negative to positive. Development was rapid. Young Rebels seem advanced.

Hard to explain Frank-lin at Vanderbilt. For gen-erations the school bragged only about academics and alumni. Suddenly, there were football victories. And

bowl games. And scandals. The Commodores cer-

tainly changed and came from nowhere to some-where very quickly. Was the surge solid? Can they stay?

Kentucky restoration looked better for half a sea-son that it really is. But, the Wildcats are going in the correct direction.

Oh my, I just noticed something alarming, com-parison of Vanderbilt and Kentucky recovery with Tennessee.

Feel free to use the peer-less prognostications below as a guide to tasting the thrill of victory by voting for the winning side.

■ State Senate District 7Republican candidate

Richard Briggs is regarded as the un-Stacey, a dignifi ed upgrade from the clownish Campfi eld.

It’s not likely that Briggs will become a target for Jon

LarryVan

Guilder

Stewart or Stephen Colbert, but the good doctor’s core values are little different from the man he looks to replace.

A line in the modern Hip-pocratic Oath reads, “I will prevent disease whenever I can, for prevention is pref-erable to cure.”

Briggs, a respected sur-geon, opposes Medicaid ex-

pansion and the Affordable Care Act, despite the latter’s emphasis on preventive medicine. Go fi gure.

In contrast, Democratic candidate Cheri Siler fa-vors healthcare reform. She supports an increase in the minimum wage, a posi-tion Briggs considers a “job killer.”

Not surprisingly, she’s been unsuccessful in luring her painfully shy opponent to the debate platform. In this overwhelmingly Re-publican district Briggs has nothing to gain from a mod-erated debate.

Residents of the 7th Dis-trict deserve more than just an upgraded vocabulary in

their next state senator, but they aren’t going to get it. Briggs rakes in 70 percent or more of the vote.

■ Gloria Johnson vs. Lane Kiffi nOtherwise known as the

race for State House District 13, the contest has taken a turn for the bizarre.

A fl yer recently mailed by a PAC supporting Republi-can candidate Eddie Smith compared Democratic in-cumbent Gloria Johnson to Lane Kiffi n, “all talk” and “promises, promises.”

If nothing else, this Hail Mary tactic demonstrates that no idea is too desperate or too shopworn not to be repeated.

In 2012, Tennessee Re-publicans employed the

same schtick in a television commercial. Like Kiffi n, said the announcer, John-son’s strategy was to “take the money and run.”

Johnson might consider countering with an endorse-ment from Bo Wallace, the giant-slaying Ole Miss quarterback who led the Rebels to a recent win over Kiffi n’s Alabama Crimson Tide. If Wallace isn’t paid it shouldn’t violate NCAA rules.

If Johnson really wants to play hardball, use six de-grees of separation to link Smith with Derek Dooley and give Kiffi n haters a run for their money.

Johnson has earned an-other term, but this one will be close. When time ex-pires, Johnson 52 percent, Smith 48.

■ Nashville CatsIn the best of all possible

worlds, Republican Mark “Coonrippy” Brown would be squaring off against Democrat Charlie Brown for the governor’s chair.

“Coonrippy” wants the state to give back his “res-cue” raccoon it seized and released into the wild. Char-lie wants his own party to support him. Both are likely to be disappointed.

In the real world, Charlie Brown opposes Republican incumbent Bill Haslam. Even Lloyd’s of London wouldn’t give you odds on the Democrat’s chances.

Brown captured 30 per-cent of likely voters in an Au-gust Rasmussen poll. I’d be surprised to see him reach that percentage on Nov. 4.


One way to stay fl exible and avoid back pain is to do some easy stretching every day. Here are three stretches you can do at home.

• The back stretch: Lie on the fl oor on your stomach with your palms on the fl oor in a “push-up” position. Slowly push your upper body off the fl oor while keeping your hips in contact with the fl oor. Let your back relax. Hold for 30 seconds. Repeat three times.

• The hamstring stretch: Get a bath-size towel and lie on the fl oor on your back with both legs straight. Bend one at the knee and raise the other straight in the air. Loop the towel over the arch of the raised foot and gently pull on the towel as you push against it with your foot. You should feel the stretch

in the back of the thigh. Hold that position for 30 seconds, then relax. Do the same with the other leg and repeat three times per leg.

• The piriformis stretch: The piriformis muscle runs through the buttock and plays a part in hip and leg rotation. If this muscle is strained, it can contribute to back pain. Once again, lie on the fl oor on your back. Bend one leg at the knee and cross it over the other. Pull gently on the knee and hold for 30 sec-onds. You should feel the stretching in the buttock. Relax, do the other leg and repeat three times with each.

You’ve probably heard the story about the two boys who were hiking in the woods one day. They were miles away from civi-lization when they acci-dentally came upon a giant grizzly bear. The bear was about 20 yards from them, staring them down.

One of the boys whis-pered in a trembling voice, “What do we do now?” The other boy very slowly and quietly sat down, removed his backpack, took off his hiking boots, and put on his tennis shoes. Watching all of this, the other boy said, “Why are you putting your tennis shoes on? You can’t outrun a giant grizzly bear.” To which the other boy said, “I don’t have to, all I have to do is outrun you!”

Well, have you ever felt

As we drove through the beautiful hills of New Eng-land, I was intrigued by the little villages nestled in the valleys. Houses old and new, large and small, and a smattering of general stores (no Wal-Marts or su-permarkets). There was a school in every town, and a gas station. Not a factory anywhere.

In every town, however, there was a church, usually Congregationalist, always white clapboard, with a tall steeple, topped by a cross. In fact, that cross was fre-quently the fi rst thing I could see as we drove down into the village.

As we wound our way back home, coming down through the Shenandoah Valley – that lush, green landscape sheltered by mountains on either side – I saw another cross.

This one was standing in front of a church, not on the steeple. It was huge, gigan-tic, enormous. It stood fully twenty feet tall, and looked

For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through him God was pleased to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, by making peace through the blood of his cross.

almost like steel lattice-work. I was stunned, and, I will admit, appalled.

I remembered a story a beloved teacher told me one day. I was wearing a neck-lace with a tiny silver pen-dant that could be construed as either a cross or a star. My teacher said he knew a pas-tor who reproached a con-gregant for wearing a cross.

“What are you doing with that idol around your neck?” the pastor demanded.

It has taken me many years to sort out all of that.

I now know the differ-ence between idols and icons. The cross is an icon, not an idol, and a symbol of God’s great love.

like you’ve been used as “bear bait?” Have you ever been deserted by people? Have you ever been disap-pointed by your friends when they failed to respond to you when you needed them most? Probably all of us have at one time or an-other. But the good news is that Jesus will never leave you nor forsake you (He-brews 13:5). If Jesus is your friend, no matter what the trial may be, you won’t face it alone. The Lord will be by your side. Remember that!

Good parenting can help keep your teen drug free.

Talk to your teen about drugs.Only a third of parents talk to their teens about the risks of using drugs and alcohol, despite research showing that kids are less likely to use if parents have these conversations.

Set clear "No-Drug" rulesTelling your teen that drugs and alcohol are not allowed – and outlining the consequences for breaking the rules – are important steps to keeping your child drug-free.

Be involved.Teens whose parents are involved in their lives are less likely to use illicit drugs or alcohol, or to be involved in other risky behaviors. Talk to other parents about their rules and level of involvement, too.

Ask the right questions.Know what your children are doing when they are away from you, where they go, and who their friends are. Know what they do on

usage, text messaging, and social networking sites.

Stay informed about emerging drug threats.Keep up with what new drug trends teens might be into, such as using prescription drugs to get high. Track quantities of medication in your own home, dispose of old pills safely and properly, and ask others, such as family members, to do the same.

If you think your child is using, we will help. Just call us.

On Wednesday, Thurs-day and Friday, the Knox-ville Symphony Orchestra is presenting kid-friendly morning concerts. If your child hasn’t experienced the sights and sounds of a real live symphony orchestra, now is the time.

The Sheena McCall Young People’s Concert, named for its benefactor and entitled “Are We There Yet?,” will feature music from all over the world. Maestro James Fellenbaum, well-known to area children as the popu-lar conductor of the annual fall concerts, will be leading the KSO in a musical travel-ogue.

“We will explore music in a fun way, from Russia to Austria, from Africa to Mexico. Not only will stu-dents hear what different parts of the world sound like, but – through use of video projection – they can see where these countries are located,” says Fellen-baum, who is the father of a 3-year-old daughter.

Jennifer Barnett Har-rell, the KSO’s director of education and community partnerships, says she is very excited about the per-formances.

Celebrating 40 yearsNews from United Grocery Outlet

United Grocery Outlet/Grocery Outlet would like to celebrate with you and our community!!

We are celebrating four decades of serving custom-ers and the community! We urge you to mark your cal-endars for Saturday, Nov. 1, as we are inviting you to our Customer Appreciation day at your local United Grocery Outlet/Grocery Outlet!

As the largest close-out grocery company in the southeast, we thank you for your support and commit-ment to our company as we continue to serve you and the community.

United Grocery Outlet/Grocery Outlet is a family-owned company. We are very proud to have been serving and to be able to continue to serve for the past 40 years.

We began in the small east Tennessee town of Etowah and were known as the Bargain Barn. The founders were Doug, Carol and Michael Tullock, a teen-ager at the time who has now become the company president.

The original concept for the business was that cus-tomers “Eat Better For Less.” Beginning with $1,000 of working capital and using the corner of an antique store as their store front, Michael and his parents started purchasing closeout, seconds and irregulars from

two manufacturers.No one ever dreamed

it would grow into the 36-store chain, with about 750 employees, reaching over fi ve states that it is to-day. The headquarters and distribution center are lo-cated in Athens, Tenn.

We would like our cus-tomers to “Shop Us First” and then go to the conven-tional grocery store for the remaining necessary items. Most customers fi nd only a few items are needed from the conventional grocery store, which saves them considerable money.

When shopping one of our stores, you will not fi nd the same items all the time. It is a treasure hunt of sorts. We only buy the items we can offer our customers at exceptional savings. We now buy from hundreds of manufacturers. This al-lows our customer to fi nd anything from basic food to high-end gourmet items.

We can’t believe that it has been 40 years of serving our communities!

Come join us for the fun as we celebrate this monu-mental occasion on Nov. 1! We have a lot of fun activi-ties planned for you such as: treasure hunt, sidewalk event, and the fi rst 40 cus-tomers get a free goody bag!

As our company presi-dent would say, “We will KEEP ON serving you and bringing extreme values.”

type’ adventure with Indi-ana Jones’ distant cousin, Tennessee Smith,” she says. University of Tennessee the-ater department professor and local actor Terry Weber will be playing the role of Tennessee Smith, leading the students in an interac-tive adventure. The kids must fi nd clues to help them fi gure out where they are traveling next. “Some of the clues will be hidden right in the orchestra,” says Harrell.

Young performers will be featured, including the West African Drum and Dance group from Austin-East Magnet High School. Spe-cial effects, including white-water rapids and fi reworks, will provide excitement for the audience. “Tennessee Smith unfortunately gets doused in a couple of Euro-pean rivers,” Harrell says, with a sly grin.

The concerts are geared for third- to fi fth-graders. Many school groups plan to attend, but individual tick-ets can also be purchased. At press time, there were still some available.

Performances are pre-sented Wednesday, Oct. 29, and Thursday, Oct. 30, at 9:30 and 10:45 a.m., and Friday, Oct. 31, at 9:30 a.m. at the Knoxville Civic Audi-torium.

Elementary SherlockA different kind of expe-

rience awaits you and your youngsters as Knoxville Children’s Theatre presents “Sherlock Holmes and the Hound of the Baskervilles,” a new adaptation of the clas-sic mystery by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

The story centers on the

legend of a ghostly, diaboli-cal hound that has roamed the moors and stalked the Baskerville family for gen-erations.

When Sir Charles Basker-ville is found dead with enormous paw prints near-by, the case grabs the at-tention of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson. Can they solve the mystery of the phantom hound before another Baskerville falls victim to the legend?

Old Sherlock never seems to lose his popularity, and KCT executive director Zack Allen thinks it’s because he “embodies the best and the brightest in us. He’s a care-ful observer, but he also ap-plies his knowledge. I think of him as a ‘mental super-hero.’”

Allen is one of the co-founders of the seven-year-old company, which has produced over 60 plays. The current production, adapted by Allen, has a cast of 14 young actors, ages 11 to 17. “It’s sort of thrilling,” he says, “and pretty spooky when the hound starts howling!

“But,” he points out, “there’s no better place to be scared than the theater. It’s a safe place.”

“Sherlock Holmes and the Hound of the Basker-villes” runs through Nov. 9, with performances Thurs-days and Fridays at 7 p.m.; Saturdays at 1 p.m. and 5 p.m.; and Sundays at 3 p.m.

FC Lake updateStep one in the restora-

tion of Fountain City Lake is complete with good re-sults, reports Eric Vreeland of the city.

“Claiborne Hauling drained the lake and fi xed the weir leak in the weir.”

“So rain and spring water have raised the water level up to 10 feet in some places,” he said.

Large carp were moved to Victor Ashe Park. Step one cost about $50,000, Vreeland said. Next the city will hire a consultant, a water quality engineer, who will analyze what it will take to keep the lake clean.

“The consultants should be hired within a month, and they may draw down the water again. We’ve fi n-ished the fi rst step toward recovery and now we’ll move to ongoing mainte-nance.”

By Carol ShaneThis time of year, fami-

lies are looking forward to multigenerational celebra-tions and get-togethers.

Recently, on a picture-postcard October after-noon, Fountain City United Methodist Church was

bursting with a very special one – the 50th anniversary of the church’s preschool.

Generations of students and teachers got together to share stories and memories of the highly respected edu-cational program.

The preschool began in

One big family

Margaret Schantz, left, is a founder of the Fountain City UMC preschool. With Margaret are Nancy Hazelwood and her hus-band, David, assistant minister of education. Both remember the church’s education building going up in 1965.

1964.Margaret Schantz, one of

the founding teachers, said there were no public kinder-gartens at the time, an ob-servation that was echoed by assistant minister of edu-cation David Hazlewood.

The church’s program is

accredited by the National Association for the Educa-tion of Young Children and is a child-centered, curricu-lum-based program.

It has been overseen for the past 30 years by Susan Todd.
