Grant received for Clayton Park Work set to begin this year By Jake Mabe Knox County Commission will vote today (Monday, June 25) on a Local Park and Recreation Fund (LPRF) grant agreement with the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) for $120,000 with an in-kind services match of $120,000 in employee labor provided by the Knox County Parks and Recreation Department for a total project value of $240,000 for the Phase I development of Clayton Park in Halls. “We’re trying to stretch our dollars as much as we can,” parks director Doug Bataille said last week. “We’ll do as much in-house work as we can except for the asphalt and block laying, which will be contracted out.” Parks and greenways coordinator Rebekah Jane Montgomery said Phase I will include aligning the park’s entrance with the entrance to Crossroads Centre (the old Walmart entrance) and creating an entrance drive, as well as adding rest rooms, a picnic shelter and a greenway loop. She said the county received the park’s entrance permit from the Tennessee Department of Transportation last week. Bataille says he hopes to begin work this fall, weather permitting, which will correspond with the upcoming road improvements to the section of Norris Freeway that fronts the park site. He said his department is finishing

Phase I of the project will be to create an entrance across from Crossroads Centre, add the driveway, restrooms, a picnic shelter and a greenway loop.

Several communities have turned grants back in because they don’t want to provide the match. We still want to build nice stuff. Hopefully, when we open it, it will be worth the wait.” The park’s new entrance is currently a steep slope that will have to be filled and tied into the driveway. Bataille says it’s “been more of a challenge than what we
thought,” but his department is working with the county’s deputy director of engineering and public works, Jim Snowden, to stockpile suitable fill at the site from various county road projects. Bataille is also seeking suitable fill, but asks that anyone wishing to donate to call his office at 215-6600 so that the fill can be approved before it is dropped off. Carl Tindell, who spearheaded the community fundraising drive that purchased the land from the Hodge family in 2005, says that David Hurst of Hurst Excavating volunteered his time recently to collect brush on the park site into one large pile.

Planning for parks By Sandra Clark Planners are wrapping up the county’s North Sector Plan with substantial input from Powell residents and a thundering silence from Halls. MPC has conducted four public sessions to discuss the plan which establishes land use for 15 years. Sector plans are more difficult to amend now than in past years, a point noted by attorney Arthur Seymour Jr. who attended every session, possibly to influence extension

of the Emory Road commercial district west of Central Avenue Pike. Seymour is not talking – at least to reporters. It’s interesting to see developers and large landowners involved at sector meetings while residents hold back, reacting to proposals as they come. Anyone wanting to vet the plan before its adoption by the Metropolitan Planning Commission and the Knox County Commission can see details on-
line at www.knoxmpc.org. Lee Robbins is not passive. He advocates for greenways and bicycle routes at every opportunity. Robbins was at Powell last week, talking about a suburban bus line to serve Halls and Powell, possibly running at morning, midday and evening. “It takes a half day to get anything done downtown,” he said. “Buses would not have to run every hour or two.” Robbins also engaged planner Mike Carberry about proposals for parks in the north sector. The planning map is dotted with 5- to 20-acre neighborhood parks and a large 100- to 200-acre district park, now sited ominously close to

the Clark family farm on Bull Run Creek. Cousins, beware! Carberry admitted there is no money in the county budget to acquire land and said parks often are created by community fund-raising through an agency such as the Legacy Parks Foundation, which assisted Halls residents in buying 11 acres for the Clayton Park. Knox County has large parks in deep west (Concord Park) and northwest (Melton Hill). It owns almost 400 acres in the Seven Islands Wildlife area in the southeast sector. “Ideally, we would have one really significant natural area of 100 to 200 acres in each sector,” Carberry said.

NEWS FROM THE MYERS LAW FIRM
New firm experienced in personal injury lawsuits T
he law firm is new, but the lawyers have wide-ranging experience in civil law, especially personal injury, car accident, and workers’ compensation law. Laura Bradley Myers and Michael Alan Myers have opened The Myers Law Firm at 3232 Tazewell Pike in the Realty Executives building. They have a combined 30 years of legal experience. “We both have a background in civil defense work,” said Laura. “We began our careers working for insurance companies. Now we represent people.” Mike and Laura met while students at the UT College of Law and were married following graduation. They have lived in Fountain City for 12 years and have twin boys. Mike is a native of Claiborne County, Laura of South Florida. She speaks fluent Spanish.
Michael Alan Myers Mike is an honors graduate of the University of Tennessee College of Law, where he finished in the top 20 percent of his class. He is a trial lawyer with more than 15 years of professional experience in car accident, truck accident, premises liability, and construction law cases. He, too, has recovered millions of dollars for his clients. Mike was born on Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, where his father was a master sergeant in the USAF. The family returned to Tazewell after his dad’s retirement and both parents, Bill and Inge Myers, taught in Claiborne County schools. Following his graduation from Claiborne County High School, Mike attended UT on an Air Force ROTC and academic scholarship. Following graduation, Mike was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the USAF where he served eight years before returning to UT to attend law school.
Laura Bradley Myers Laura is an accomplished trial lawyer who has recovered millions of dollars for her injured clients. She has extensive professional experience in personal injury, car accident, premises liability, and workers’ compensation law, and has been lead trial counsel in more than 70 bench and jury trials. She also has resolved hundreds of cases via mediation and alternative dispute resolution. While at UT Law, Laura earned membership on the Tennessee Law Review. She is an award-winning published author, and, in 2001, the Tennessee Supreme Court cited her work on emotional distress injuries in a published full-court opinion. Laura graduated from UT Law with honors, finishing in the top 25 percent of her class. She then clerked at the Tennessee Supreme Court for the Honorable Adolpho A. Birch Jr., former TSC chief justice. Following her clerkship, Laura worked in Knoxville as a civil defense lawyer, gaining a unique perspective and insight into what it takes to successfully prosecute accident and injury claims against insurance companies.
Laura Bradley Myers Within five years, she was peer-assessed a distinguished BV rated trial lawyer. She has served as an adjunct Professor of Law at UT Law, and has been a guest lecturer in trial advocacy classes at UT Law. She has tried and won cases at every level of the Tennessee court system, from trial courts to appellate advocacy at the Tennessee Supreme Court. Laura has also worked extensively with children injured in car accidents, as a result of animal attacks, and as guests on business or personal premises. “I have two little boys. I look at a hurt kid and it’s easy to understand how they hurt, and how their parents hurt. It’s a very motivational situation for me.” Laura is a member of the Knoxville and Tennessee Bar Associations, the Tennessee Association for Justice, and the East Tennessee Lawyers’ Association for Women. She is also a member of the Hamilton Burnett Chapter of the American Inns of Court.
A commissioned officer in the Air Force from 1986-94, Mike was a missile launch officer based in South Dakota. Assignments included service as missile combat crew flight commander and instructor commander. He also trained missile combat crews on wartime operations. Later, he was transferred to Fort Walton Beach, Fla., where he was director of jointservice special operations education. Professionally, Mike has been lead counsel in more than 50 jury and bench trials. He has also represented many clients in cases that have been successfully resolved via mediation, arbitration and alternative dispute resolution. He carries a significant background in automobile and homeowners’ insurance law, personal injury law, construction law and governmental law. Mike is a member of the Knoxville and Tennessee Bar Associations, and has been named a Master of the Bench in the Hamilton Burnett Chapter of the American Inns of Court.
Community service Laura volunteers on Saturdays with Salem Baptist Church of Halls in their community missions outreach programs. In August, she will travel on mission with Northstar Church to Managua, Nicaragua. She enjoys running, hiking, reading, traveling with her family, and “anything my kids are doing.” Laura and Mike are actively involved in all of their sons’ activities, including Fountain City rec league baseball, Cub Scouts, and Upward soccer. Mike is a member of, and legal counsel to, the Shannondale Elementary School Educational Foundation Board. He’s a proud member of the American Legion and serves on the House Corporation Board of Delta Tau Delta fraternity at UTK. Mike also is chairman of the KellyEdwards Memorial Endowed Scholarship at UTK. He enjoys UT athletics, hiking, and spending time with his family.

Wormsley receives administrative award It’s always great to see one of the good guys get noticed. Such is the case with my pal Jay Wormsley, who is an assistant principal at Halls Middle School. Jay was named Administrator of the Year for East Tennessee by the Tennessee Association of Middle Schools at its annual convention at the Sevierville Events Center on June 14. He was nominated by Halls Middle 7th grade English teacher Trish Myers. “I knew I had been nominated but I didn’t think I would win,” Jay says. “It’s a great honor. It really is.” Wormsley is a Gibbs High graduate and holds a bachelor’s degree from UT and a master’s degree from LMU. He taught social studies at Gibbs High for 12.5 years before coming to Halls Middle as an assistant in January 2000. He was also an assistant baseball and girls basketball coach for awhile at Gibbs. Even though he grew up a Gibbs guy, Jay says Halls has become home. He and his wife, Amy, live with their daughter, Meredith, in Halls. “I feel like Halls Middle School is family. It’s a family atmosphere and a community school. I work with a lot of great people. It makes my job a whole lot easier.” Oh, by the way: I al-

swers 300,000 reference questions a year. “It can be something as simple as asking the title of a new book by John Grisham or as complex as ‘I want to start a business, what do I do?’ ” The library offers e-book rentals as one of its newest services. Janet says the library began offering them 16 months ago and that 100,000 e-books were circulated last month. The library’s website (www.knoxlib.org) offers everything from online reference databases to access to Chilton auto repair manuals and legal forms to users being able to place a hold on a particular item and have it shipped to the branch library in their community. She said the library system, which includes 17 branches, Lawson McGhee Library and two floors at the East Tennessee History Center, contains 1.1 million
items in its collection. Circulation for 2011 was 2.8 million. 150,000 Knox County residents have active library cards. Free Internet access is available at every branch and downtown. The library also offers exciting summer programs for kids, including the children’s and teen reading programs. It also manages Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library program in Knox County and offers other lesser-known services, such as Books for the Homebound. “The library has been a wonderful place to work,” Janet says. “I work with some wonderful people and am very proud of our customer service skills. We want all of you to come use your library.” For more information on all of the library’s services, visit www.knoxlib.org or call 215-8700. Visit Jake Mabe online at jakemabe. blogspot.com.

government Lobetti leaves his ‘mark’ By Betty Bean There’s an underground campaign to influence Mayor Tim Burchett to reappoint Robert M. “Mose” Lobetti to a third term on Metropolitan Planning Commission. Lobetti already has left an indelible mark.
The name “Mose” has been carved into a desk formerly assigned to Robert M. “Mose” Lobetti in the City County Building’s Large Assembly Room. Photo by Betty Bean Up on the dais in the Large Assembly Room, on the east end of the bank of heavy oak desks occupied by elected and appointed officials during meetings of City Council, County Commission and various public boards and commissions, the name “Mose” is carved into the front edge of the desk Lobetti formerly occupied (he was reassigned to another seat last year).
Burchett confirmed that friends and supporters of Lobetti, who is best known as a longtime political operative for the Duncan family, are lobbying on his behalf. Lobetti was originally appointed (and subsequently reappointed) to MPC by former Mayor Mike Ragsdale. “I’ve had people stop me in parking lots and garages, out in public and had people calling the office,” said Burchett, who will also be considering two additional appointments (Stan Johnson’s second term is up and former chair Robert Anders is resigning). The terms of two other commissioners – Ursula Bailey and Art Clancey III – are up, but they are city appointees and will be reappointed or replaced by Mayor Madeline Rogero. Lobetti, a consistent pro-development vote, was the center of controversy in 2010 when he recused himself from voting for a rezoning involving a political ally, and then attempted to rescind his recusal when it became apparent that the rezoning was in trouble. The MPC staff attorney Steven Wise told Lobetti that he couldn’t take his recusal back. Burchett is noncommittal about Lobetti’s reappointment and said there are others on his list of potential MPC commissioners. “We’re going to look at all of them,” he said.
Greenways low on food chain Greenways are important to the quality of life of any city. Recently, I interviewed Lori Goerlich, the city’s new coordinator. Goerlich turned 30 on April 15. Her degree is in landscape architecture from Iowa State University.
Victor Ashe
She is a very pleasant, likeable and earnest young woman who still has a lot to learn about Knoxville and her way around the city’s 50 miles of greenways. In fairness, she has been here for only two months and is working to get acquainted. She succeeds Donna Young who was super aggressive and energetic, a tough act to follow. She has had one meeting with Mayor Rogero which lasted 90 minutes, she said. The meeting included two of her supervisors, Joe Walsh and senior director Christi Branscom. The chain of command has her reporting to Walsh, who reports to Branscom, who reports to Eddie Mannis who reports to the Mayor. So Goerlich is four persons down the food chain from the mayor. She said the Mayor expressed support and listened carefully. The mayor’s recently adopted budget includes only one mile of greenway (near First Creek) at a cost of $1 million – 80 percent of which is federal money. If Rogero builds a mile a year, she will have added only 4 miles of greenways in her first term which would fall short of what can and should be done. We are told that in-house work will be done on other greenways. Hopefully, that is true but the proof will be in the delivery. Extending the Sue Clancy green-
way from Adair Park over to Broadway is an obvious and easy greenway to push forward. The city Greenways Commission has not had a chair since Will Skelton resigned over two years ago. The city website lists clearly has not been updated as the list of members still shows Donna Young as greenways co-coordinator when she retired eight months ago. The Commission is inactive and its website is woefully out of date. I have no doubt that Mayor Rogero genuinely backs more greenways. Gov. Bill Haslam is a strong friend in Nashville who can assist in making sure Knoxville receives transportation greenway grants when applications are submitted. Haslam recently announced a $430,000 grant to Sevierville for a greenway to Pigeon Forge. Lori Goerlich is eager but untested. She does not know the politics of city hall or Tennessee. It is uncertain how aggressive she will be. The Mayor is the captain of the team. My hope is that greenways under Rogero will take off and set new records of completion. Pensions: The city pension fund is nowhere close to meeting the 6.5 percent goal of growth established in the Mayor’s pension proposal. This makes the financial assumptions of the proposed city charter amendment shaky. Some argue the plan should be rejected at the ballot box if altered. Hopefully, local media will cover this issue intensely between now and November when voters decide the matter. Three council members already voted no on it. They are Duane Grieve, Marshall Stair and Nick Della Volpe. Finbarr Saunders voted against the hybrid plan before he switched and voted for it feeling it is better than nothing. Knoxville CPA Robert Zivi argues this proposal is worst than doing nothing.

The $35 million question Knox County Commission is scrambling for cover as parents across the county realize that the budget “compromise” adopted June 4 does not fund promised school building improvements and lacks money for technology. The most interesting conundrum is in District 7 where school board member Kim Sepesi secured capital improvements for Shannondale, Adrian Burnett and Powell elementary schools, along with Powell High School, in the school board budget. Then her district
Sandra Clark
colleague, Commissioner R. Larry Smith, opposed the funding. He even voted “no” on the compromise which did not raise taxes. We asked Sepesi at last week’s Powell Republican Club what happens to those building projects. “I don’t know,” she said.
“Our district was getting the bulk of the capital improvements.” Meanwhile, Smith has told at least two Republican Clubs that he voted “no” in part because he felt bullied by this writer and reporter Jake Mabe who handed out feathers to commissioners with the message: “Leaders find a way to lead; chickens find a way to hide.” Sepesi demonstrated skill in securing the school board’s commitment for projects in her district. But the board can’t go forward
Kim Sepesi speaking to the Powell Republican Club. without funding. Smith demonstrated political cowardice in opposing the funding. We say, if the feather fits, fluff it.
Massey and Jenkins and Minnie Pearl By Anne Hart There’s no question that the Duncan family knows how to throw a party. After all, they have been hosting the hugely popular Duncan barbecue at the Civic Coliseum since 1968. In addition to the nearly 10,000 local party faithful who attend that event held in October of years when there is a November election, it has also been attended by such luminaries as former president George W. Bush, back when he was a mere governor, and former Sen. Elizabeth Dole, back when she was campaigning for her husband, Bob Dole, during his run for the presidency. So it should come as no surprise that state Sen. Becky Duncan Massey, whose dad, the late U.S. Rep. John J. Duncan, started the whole thing, and whose brother, U.S. Rep. John J. Duncan Jr., has continued the tradition, has inherited the gene for giving a great party. She proved it last Tuesday evening at The Foundry at World’s Fair Park when several hundred guests were on hand as she announced her campaign for re-election to the Legislature from the 6th District. There was good food, plenty of liquid libation and lots of fine company. Massery was introduced by state Sen. Randy McNally, who extolled Massey’s work during her first year in the Senate, and urged those on hand to “find what you can do to bring her back and go out and do it.” Massey is running in the Aug. 2 primary for a full four-year term.

The executive director of the nonprofit Sertoma Center, Massey said her first year in office had been “absolutely amazing. It was a year of great successes for our state.” She said she wants to return to Nashville “to assure a government that is both consumer and business friendly, to support lower taxes and to support teachers and our most vulnerable population: those who don’t need a hand-out but a hand-up.”
Jenkins’ jibes Local Republican Party chair Ray Hal Jenkins couldn’t be at the Massey event, but the ever clever Jenkins still managed to
provide some timely comments about the opposition. Referring to the unsuccessful attempt of Shelley Breeding, whose home straddles the line separating Knox and Anderson counties, to run as a Democratic Party candidate in the new 89th District seat in the General Assembly, Jenkins jibed, “The Democrats’ answer to the poor shape they’re in is to outsource their candidates to Anderson County.” And of local Democrat Party chair Gloria Johnson he quipped, “Her answer to every race is to move there and run for the seat.”
It must have been Minnie Pearl’s ghost who caused lots of good humored laughs from observers and just a tad of embarrassment for a local newspaper writer/ photographer covering the Massey event. Every time the photog raised her arm to take a picture of guests, the price tag still affi xed to her brand new jacket dangled from its underarm for all to see. My new heroes? Local CPA Debbie Diddle, who had the courage to call the couture calamity to my attention, and attorney Howard Vogel who loaned her his pocket knife, complete with tiny scissors, to cut off the offending tag.

Dems blast GOP over jobs Veteran Democratic state Rep. Joe Armstrong says that legislation his party has been working on over the past year will put Tennesseans to work, if Republicans will get out of the way. Armstrong and county party chair Gloria Johnson, who is also a candidate for the 13th District House seat being vacated by Harry Tindell, held a press conference/small business roundtable last week to talk about the Tennessee First Act and other measures they said would help home-grown businesses. “This year in the Legislature, we spent an enormous amount of time disputing absurd legislation,” Armstrong said. “The Monkey Bill, the Don’t Say Gay Bill, telling private universities like Vanderbilt how to run their campuses. … we spent a considerable amount of time talking about repealing the Affordable Care Act, when we have no standing. All of his took time away from important things.” Johnson, a special education teacher, echoed Armstrong’s sentiments.
Betty Bean “I see a lot of legislation that tells me I can’t talk about hand-holding with my students, but not much about helping business and creating new jobs. … We’re interested in getting our neighbors back to work.” Armstrong said the Democratic Caucus went across the state last year talking to small business owners and workers about the problems they face. “We designed a package of bills we felt were nonpartisan, like Tennessee Contractors First, which gives Tennessee contractors an advantage on state jobs. The state spends a lot of money (on building projects) and if we can give our small businesses an advantage, we want to do that. “But that bill was killed in subcommittee. We plan to bring that one back.” West Knox Republican Ryan Haynes chairs the
Democrats Joe Armstrong and Gloria Johnson listen to small business owners’ wish lists. Photo by Betty Beans State and Local Government subcommittee, which summarily quashed the Contractors First bill without discussion. He says his subcommittee did the right thing because the bill could violate reciprocity agreements with surrounding states and hurt Tennessee contractors’ ability to do business elsewhere. “This was a bill being brought for 100 percent political reasons,” he said. “That’s why past administrations haven’t supported it. Some of those bills get to the point of being ridiculous.” Haynes conceded that his party has backed its fair share of “political” legislation, and said he wishes that both parties would focus on “true job creation and eco-
nomic development. “Unfortunately we don’t ever seem to make that the No. 1 priority.” Johnson is underwhelmed by Haynes’ assessment of Tennessee Contractors First, and cited a nearly $10 million slope repair job on an I-75 mudslide in Campbell County that went to a Kentucky company this spring. “There was only a slight cost difference. Seems to me it would be good for Tennessee workers to keep that job here. Across the state people are very supportive of this bill. It just makes sense to hire Tennessee contractors when we can. “Just because we’ve been doing it this way forever doesn’t mean that it’s not something we can do better.”
HALLS/FOUNTAIN CITY SHOPPER-NEWS • JUNE 25, 2012 • A-5 PULL UP A CHAIR … | Jake Mabe
Finding ‘Dallas’ in Dallas Most college kids head to sandy beaches during the summer. We went to Southfork. The new TNT update of “Dallas,” the popular 1980s CBS-TV drama, makes me think about the pilgrimage I once made with a couple of high school buddies, Drew Weaver and Dewayne Lawson, to the Parker, Texas, ranch popularized in the series. “Dallas” was a television phenomenon the likes of which we’ll never see again. It reached its peak in the days before VCRs and cable television became ubiquitous. I can remember folks leaving high school football games early, even when the result was still in doubt, to get home in time to watch J.R. Ewing do his thing. The show was a Friday night ritual in our house. Well, up until Victoria Principal’s character dreamt the entire 1985-86 season. (Don’t ask.) Just before the fall semester, in August 1998, we visited my stepdad, Mike McConkey, who had been transferred to Phoenix, Ariz. Plotting our route, we purposefully decided to return to Knoxville by way of I-10 and I-20 for one reason. We were going to Dallas to see “Dallas.”
Southfork Ranch in Parker, Texas. The house does not sit as far from the road as it appears. Photos by Drew Weaver Turns out the ranch now known as Southfork was once owned by a guy named J.R. – J.R. Duncan. He called it Duncan Acres. It is a heck of a lot smaller than TV magic makes it look. The driveway is small, too, and the pool is even smaller. None of the interiors were filmed in the house (except in two mid-1990s TV movies). They were shot at a private home near Dallas and both its interior and the exterior at Southfork were replicated on a Hollywood sound stage. Our tour guide at Southfork was a charming woman who didn’t know much about the series. We kept peppering her with questions she couldn’t answer. But, she took a liking to three 20-year-olds from Tennessee – either that or she thought we were crazy –
and offered to take our picture in a roped off area in the living room in front of a huge portrait of actor Jim “Jock Ewing” Davis, who died in 1981 when “Dallas” was in its heyday. Next door to the ranch is a “Dallas” museum, filled with designer gowns, Jock Ewing’s Lincoln Continental and, yep, even the gun used to “shoot” J.R. in that famous 1980 episode. I bought a “Ewing 1” license plate in the gift shop. The No.1 reason I like this silly show is Larry Hagman. The fact that he never won an Emmy for his portrayal of J.R. Ewing is about as big of a joke as Peyton Manning not winning the Heisman. The TNT series is surprisingly good, in no small part because of the presence of original series stars Hagman
Three fans from Knoxville pose in front of the famous photo of the late Jim “Jock Ewing” Davis at Southfork Ranch in Parker, Texas, in this Shopper file photo. Exterior shots of the house from the popular TV series “Dallas” were filmed here.

joyable as it is, the new “Dal- for the best, too. las” will never be “DALLAS.” See for yourself at 9 p.m. Plus, I sincerely doubt it (Eastern) Wednesday nights will cause any college kids on TNT this summer. to skip the surf and take a Visit Jake Mabe online at jakemabe. sojourn to Southfork.

an area where fresh water was scarce, so our conservation habits have not created a problem. My family installed a bathroom even prior to the establishment of the First Utility District which gave the little village “city water” as the locals called it. Prior to that, our water supply came from a well which we drilled in the late 1940s, but the water was often muddy and it was hard to tell whether you were cleaner after the bath than you were before. Moreover, we had no hot water heater, so hot water had to be poured into the tub, but to rinse off you had to use the overhead shower, which spewed cold water. Now, one might think that the situation I have described was one of an impoverished family. By today’s standards that would certainly be true. But we felt fortunate to have an indoor bathroom because most families in the village had an outdoor privy and took a bath in a wash tub about once each week, usually on Saturday night to get ready for
church on Sunday. But the conditions described were typical of rural areas in the South during the mid-20th century. And even into the 1950s, some outlying areas still depended on kerosene lamps for light and fireplaces to warm the house in winter. Having an abundant water supply had long been a dream for most village residents, and although community meetings were often held to discuss the matter, no serious action was ever taken to implement a plan. But on April 6, 1954, discussion gave way to action. A meeting was called at Farragut High School by the Farragut Civic Club. Utility districts were authorized under a 1937 enabling act of the Tennessee state Legislature to improve public health and promote economic development. At that meeting, County Judge C. Howard Bozeman, using that 1937 legislation, appointed three members to head up the district. Former town of Farragut mayor Bob Leonard was hired to do the legal work
and Fred McFee was selected as general manager. The system came online in October 1955, and 740 customers signed up. Today, the First Utility District has more than 30,000 customers (many of whom have swimming pools) and an infrastructure worth more than $100 million. But the town owes a lot to those early visionaries who realized that growth could only come with the development of modern utilities. Today, many of our citizens, particularly those under 50 years old, would find it difficult to comprehend the value of abundant water, nor would they realize that the amount of water required to fill a modest swimming pool would have been equal to a year’s supply for a family in Concord Village 60 years ago. Abundant water is now taken for granted which gives us more time to focus on such modern technologies as smartphones, fast computers and 3-D television, but water? Well, it is just there when we need it.
Tennessee revitalization
Water was once a scarce resource MALCOLM’S CORNER | Malcolm Shell Along with the Dogwood Arts Festival, pollen and annual house cleaning, another ritual of spring is the cleaning of swimming pools. It seems to continually f lood the streets with water. I was watching one of our neighbors prepare their pool for the summer and I couldn’t help but wonder how many 50-gallon barrels of water it took to fi ll it up. Of course, some simple math gave a pretty good estimate, but the thing that came to my mind is what a difference 60 years makes in the availability of water. When the pioneers were set-
tling the area, one of their primary considerations in selecting a place to build their cabins was the availability of fresh water for drinking and keeping their perishable food cool. Campbell’s Station had an abundant supply of springs and aquifers which made it an ideal location. But water still had to be used sparingly. Early programming and habits are hard to overcome. In the 21st century I still find myself using water very sparingly at our home. And it still makes me feel a little guilty when our lawn irrigation system is running. Fortunately, my wife also came from
Sal Sunseri. The head coach wasn’t miserable with his previous defensive coordinator but he wanted a more aggressive concept and varied alignments. Southeastern Conference rivals had found the Volunteers very predictable. Sunseri has no significant experience as a coordinator but he has been through the wars. He has passion. And, his defensive ideas are very much in line with what Dooley wanted. Attack! Surprise. No sitting ducks. Sunseri will be the key. If he can tie loose ends together, if he can eliminate staff confusion and indecision on the field, if he can get pressure on enemy passers, the Vols have a chance to be better. Maybe much better. Maybe even a little bit like Tennessee football used to be.

Midpoint As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, shall not cease.

CROSS CURRENTS Oddly enough, the word sun appears in the Bible for the first time in Genesis 15, when Abram sacrificed to God, and God made his covenant with Abram. (All the earlier references in Genesis refer simply to “light.”) Even in that scene of mystery, it was a setting sun, heading straight for deep darkness. But then, in the last chapter of the Old Testament, comes the promise to those who are faithful: “See, the day is coming, burning like an oven, when all the arrogant and all evildoers will be stubble. … But for you who revere my name the sun of righteousness shall rise, with healing in its wings.” (Malachi 4: 1a, 2) We stand at the midpoint. “The day is coming,” Malachi says. He didn’t say it is here. But Malachi says – to me at least – that much like the earth’s journey around the sun, our journey through life is one of seasons, of light and darkness, and heat and cold, and that God is in it and over it and the Author and Finisher of it all.

Hearts all whole. Sure on this shining night
Tonight, when I went out to say goodnight to the world, the western sky was still lavender. The summer solstice is near enough (just a day away as I write) that the ancient pagan remnants deep in my DNA are alert and aware. I have been watching the light for days now. It slants through the small windows in my front door, finding its way into unexpected corners. It sets the meadow aglow, with long shadows stretching across the green expanse. It lingers until late bedtime – not full light, by any means, but light enough to make out the fence rows and the trees that line the creek. I remember a night on a mission trip to Willow, Alaska, when I went to bed at 11 p.m. and it was still broad daylight. I stood long, looking out my window, finding it difficult to believe. Knoxville’s own poet James Agee called this moment “high summer.” The solstice is a moment, a heartbeat, really, in the earth’s journey around the sun. Maybe that is what makes it so breath-taking – that fleeting moment of perfection, of ultimate sunlight (at least in the northern hemisphere), when the earth stands at the midpoint between spring and fall, and half a solar system away from winter.

Rogero urges women to get in the game By Betty Bean Madeline
Rogero changed the conversation. The first time she ran for mayor (2003) folks wondered if a woman could be Rogero elected. She lost to Bill Haslam, but not by much. When she ran in 2011, the initial favorites were Rogero and Marilyn Roddy. Folks figured the next mayor would be a woman, but which one?

her first six months on the job, she says it’s a lot more fun to be mayor than to run for mayor. “When you campaign, you say the same things over and over. When you are mayor, you get to do it. It’s so much better. “In the primary I got within 16 votes of winning it all,” she said, recalling the nail-biting election watch last September when she far outpaced her opponents, but fell short of the outright majority she needed to end the campaign with the primary. She went on to face the well-funded, aggressive Mark Padgett in November. “That was the hardest six weeks of my life.

many.” She won with 59 percent of the vote. Rogero got her start in politics in 1990 when she ran for County Commission. She had some serious perceived negatives – she was a Democrat, she was divorced and she wasn’t from here – but, she’d been involved in community and school issues (her children were 11 and 14 and attending public school), and had a broad network of friends. She still has five or six Rolodexes with 500 cards each from those days, and she dropped one of many pieces of advice for any aspiring office seekers in the group: “Start your database now. That’s critical.” Rogero was the first Democratic woman ever elected to Knox County Commission, and she im-
mediately attracted attention for butting heads with GOP stalwarts, like Sheriff Tim Hutchison. When she ran for re-election, she faced an aggressive opponent who “sent out a lot of negative mailings.” Rogero says she stayed positive and won again. After eight years, she “self-term limited.” After she lost in 2003, she said she made an effort to support Haslam, who also was very kind to her. “Our race was about issues, and when it was over, I felt it was important that I support him and rebuild the community, not tear it down. Bill and I would get together occasionally – I was a gracious loser, he was a gracious winner – and three years later, he asked me to join his administration as director of Community Development.” At this point she laughed, reminded the group that the department was mired in scandal then and cracked a joke: “Was that his way to retaliate against me?” Her job with Haslam turned out well, despite the
economic crash of 2008. With federal money coming in, she worked to “green” her department, enabling collaboration with every city department. “And I always thought I’d take that plunge (to run for mayor again) if I felt good about it.” Mayor Rogero got her first budget approved and is proud of the “cabinet” she has assembled. She’s tackled the thorny pension liability and thinks her administration has produced a workable “hybrid” plan that, if approved by voters, will protect city employees and taxpayers, although she knows there’s more work to be done, including financing a $130 million unfunded pension liability. She claims a good working relationship with Tim Burchett and also with Gov. Haslam. She welcomes new ideas and constructive criticism, and encourages that from her staff. “I’m very much into collaborative leadership. I value ideas. We’ll sit there and argue it out. If you don’t hear it in your office, you’ll
hear it when you go out. I don’t want a lot of yes people around me. I want the give and take.” When someone asked why County Commission and City Council each has only one female member, she turned the question around: “Why don’t you run?” She said she doesn’t read online comments and warned the group that candidates must pick the right office and the right time, and must grow a thick hide. “Women are criticized a lot. Awful things can be said about you, and some people have nothing better to do than make up stories,” she said, paraphrasing a passage from Martin Luther King’s “Letter from Birmingham Jail:” “If I responded to every criticism that comes across my desk, I would have no time for constructive work. You don’t have to please everybody all the time. It’s important. You just have to be honest and be clear about where you stand.

The health department
Let’s help somebody By Madeline Lonas How do you get children to eat healthier? What is the best way to get people to stop smoking? How do we prevent babies from being born substance-abused? Is the food on your plate safe to eat? The mission of the Knox County Health Department (KCHD) is to encourage, promote and assure the development of an active, healthy community through innovative public health practices. The interns learned it’s a big job, being led by Dr. Martha Buchanan who says, “The community is now my p at i e nt .” She said child hood diabetes is being diagBuchanan nosed at the same rate as for adults and she is very concerned that the law requires that only 1/3 of our school lunches be composed of local foods. Dr. Buchanan pointed out the benefit of pushing for more local food. This practice benefits our health along with our local food growers and suppliers, and generates more local taxes dol-
studies show that proper hand-washing can reduce foodborne problems by 80 percent because most of the problems are fecal to oral. Brooke Rathnow, who teaches healthy behaviors for pregnancy, introduced us to 3 demonstration babies. The alcohol affected baby was very boney, skinny and tiny. The baby’s eyes were smaller than a normal baby. Also, the crease between the nose and lips was not developed. The drug-affected baby didn’t look as different, but acted different. It was very weak and shook from having withdrawal from the drugs. The Shaken Baby had a clear plastic head showing its brain. Rathnow demonstrated the effects of shaking a baby, and at first the baby cried, but the more it was shaken, the weaker the cries became until they stopped. While she was shaking the model baby, lights lit up showing the brain damage. The baby would stop crying because it would black out or the neck would snap and it would die. The baby can also suffer from breaks to longer bones on its arm and legs, ribs and even damage to the spinal cord. The KCHD isn’t just helping somebody, they are helping everybody.
lars. Everyone wins. “Lets Help Somebody” is the KCHD motto explained D. Andes. He described the numerous programs and services offered by Andes the KCHD from birth through old age. They provide services that range from infant vaccines to mosquito spraying. Scott Bryan, manager of Food Inspection, said that they inspect theaters and hotels/ motels, but the “meat and potatoes” of the Bryan inspections are really the restaurants. The top 10 things most restaurants fail at are failing to cool, cross-contamination, personal hygiene, improper reheating, improper holding, mixing of raw and cooked foods, food from unapproved sources, improper cleaning, over-prepping food and inadequate cooking. Hand-washing is a real problem. He said
Not just shots By Sarah Dixon On our second week as Shopper interns, we traveled to the Knox County Health Department. We met in a classroom where Ranee Randby brought in experts to talk about what they do. Dr. Martha Buchanan, the health officer for the county, told us about the many roles that the health department plays in the community. She said the focus is on policy, partnership and protection. Her passion for the job was evident when she said, “The community is my patient now.” She gave us new ideas of how to help our community when she stated, “We are not going to help the community one person at a time.” D. Andes shared his role in the Social Services Indigent Program that helps people to get teeth pulled, qualified job interviews, medication and things that they really need. He talked to us about the people that scare us that live on the side of the road and opened our eyes to who they really are by saying, “People are just

Photos by Sarah Dixon people, and sometimes bad things happen to them.” Scott Bryan, a health inspector, was a big hit with all of us as he elaborately explained foodborne illnesses, bacteria in the food we eat and what goes into an inspection. Our tour guide there laughed and said, “I hope you know where your food comes from.” Bryan had detailed stories of revolting things he had found and seen in his years as an inspector. “It’s a really cool job,” he said, though none of us were convinced. The last person to speak was Brooke Rathnow who

works with Stay Teen. She brought in models representing the Fetal Alcohol Syndrome baby, the Drug Addicted baby and the Shaken baby. As we passed the babies around, we were all moved by the reality of these tragedies. It was amazing to hear how much the children were affected for the rest of their lives. Our trip was eye-opening and informative. Although we were less excited about our lunch outing and a little squeamish from the talk about bed bugs, the knowledge we had gained was worth it.

Helping others live abundantly By Sara Barrett After lunch, the theme of people helping people continued as the group toured Knox Area Rescue Ministries with its marketing/ communications director, Sue Renfro. The interns walked past hundreds of beds that would be filled that evening with folks who had nowhere else to turn. Renfro told the group about promising programs, including the Abundant Sue Renfro, marketing and communications director for Life Kitchen and Launch KARM, talks to the Shopper-News interns in the chapel before Point – both of which offer leading a tour of the building.

Downtown offers good food, good music
By Caroline Longmire This past Tuesday the interns had the pleasure of going to the Knoxville Welcome Center where WDVX Radio was broadcasting live music. The Coop Café, located inside the welcome center, offered a variety of fresh and healthy foods such as chicken salad sandwiches, bagels and home-made
blueberry muffins. The modern café and live bluegrass music provided a cultural atmosphere. Two bands played while we munched on our bagged lunches – Jack Herranen and the Little Red Band and the Roy Kay Trio. Jack Herranen’s group featured Chris Zuhr, Sam Hardin, Jon Whitlock and Kyle Campbell. The second band was from Seat-
tle, Wash., and featured Roy Kay, Robin Cady and Mike Geglia. The three men serenaded the crowd with their cheerful tunes and beautiThe men’s sleeping room at ful harmonies.

The women’s sleeping area at KARM gets cleaned for the following night’s guests. Approximately 400 people stay at the shelter each night and about 100 of those are women. KARM has been helping those in need for 50 years and operates largely on donations. Those staying at the facility check out by 8 a.m. in order for the sheets to be cleaned, etc. for the next night.

Norwood artist ‘back home’ By Betsy Pickle Even though she’s performing on WDVX’s Tennessee Shines program for the first time tonight (Monday, June 25), singer-songwriter-keyboardist Lydia Salnikova feels that she’s coming “home.” “I have done the Blue Plate Special a couple of times, and I’ve done the Writer’s Block with Karen Reynolds,” says Salnikova. “I have already a very cordial relationship with the radio station, and they’ve been kind and gracious enough to play some of my music. “So going back there and getting another show is an exciting thing. I feel like, ‘Oh, I’m back home.’” Salnikova and veteran Knoxville jazz trio Boling, Brown & Holloway will share the stage starting at 7 p.m. Tickets for the studio audience at the Knoxville Visitors Center are available at www.brownpapertickets.com; the 90-minute show is broadcast on 89.9 FM Clinton, 102.9 FM. Russian-born Salnikova is excited to try the tradeoff format of “Tennessee Shines” – and to share a bill with a jazz trio. “Even though I’m not a jazz artist, I enjoy that type of music,” she says. “Frankly, I just enjoy people that can play, and if you want to be a jazz musician, that’s a requirement. “It also just so happens that Keith Brown and Rusty Holloway have recommended a couple of players to me in the past. Whenever I play around town with the (Lydia Salnikova Trio), the musicians I bring with me are actually their students, so it kind of completes the circle.” Salnikova, who lives in Norwood, will be on her own tonight. She’s used to many lineup configurations. She came to the United States in the late 1990s as part of the Russian bluegrass group Bering Strait. The classically-trained young Russians worked hard to turn their love of bluegrass into a career in Nashville, but they broke up in 2006 after releasing two albums. Subsequently, Salnikova began a solo career. She released her first album,

“Hallway,” in 2010 and moved from Nashville to the Knoxville area a year ago. She loves the green of her suburban neighborhood – and the fact that she can see cows from her couch and drive past horse pastures on her way to the store. She’s also happy that the quiet means fewer interruptions while she’s working on her second album in her home studio. For Salnikova, audiences are the best part of living here. “People love music here. But they don’t just love music, they love going out and hearing music … and supporting the local music scene.” Not only is Salnikova part of the local scene (she’ll perform a Concert
on the Commons at 7 p.m. Friday, July 13, in Norris), she’s also part of the global one. She connects with fans at www.lydiasalnikova.com and pays the bills by working on other people’s music as a hired studio musician and vocalist, recording mostly in her own studio. A couple of years ago, she recorded tracks for British actor Christopher Lee’s metal opera “Charlemagne: By the Sword and the Cross.” Recently, she did vocals for a dance recording released in France. “You don’t physically have to be in the same room,” she says of studio work. “I work in so many genres, from country to pop to alternative. … And the beautiful thing is, you can be anywhere to do that.”

Ralph Shick thinks everyone should be surrounded by useful things in the form of art. After seeing his work, one would have to agree. But Shick didn’t just stumble into his art. He is a highly-trained professional with a degree from the Art Institute of Pittsburgh. Shick’s goal was to become an advertising artist because that was where the money was. So after graduation he went right to work for American Greetings. Later he owned an advertising agency and did design work for various companies, including Scripps Howard. While this may have been fulfilling in its own right, once retirement came along Shick spun off into what he calls making “useful things” and now surrounds himself with art that brings him pleasure. Shick’s art ranges from

unique,” said Shick. “There was a period when I was throwing pots, but I don’t do that anymore. I like to buy art, too. I always look for something different.” Shick believes that function follows form, and if you are going to make something, it should be pleasing to look at. “I spent a lifetime making art and selling it,” said Shick. “I’ve reached a point in my life where if I sell my work or don’t, that’s OK. I do this because I can. I like to make things that are not run-ofthe-mill and look nice.” Shick can often be spotted at local events playing a mean blues harmonica and has recorded his first CD.

stained glass, to painting to woodworking, and he makes use of found objects as well as recyclable items to keep much of his art green. “When I find a piece that looks like it can become art, I like to take it home and just look at it for a while,” said Shick. “Then I find something else that I think will go with it and it just goes from there.” Shick retired to Union County a few years ago, and one of his first pieces of art made here was the stained glass windows for Irwin’s Chapel UMC in Sharps Chapel. A member of the church saw stained glass doors at Shick’s home and asked if he would do the windows for the church. Some of the church members wanted to help make the windows, so Shick designed them and then taught some of the members stained glass techniques so they could participate. “I like to make art that is

Firefighters ignite excitement about fire safety A bright yellow fire truck is not a typical sight at a library. At the Corryton Branch Library, however, firefighters complete with gear and fire hats took community education and awareness to new heights last Thursday. “I like to have the kids learn about fire safety,” said library branch manager Sue Walker, watching two firefighters, Michael Patrick and Jason Johnson, help children climb through the fire engine. Every summer, the library conducts education programs that are open to anyone. Patrick and Johnson, from Rural/Metro Station 33, volunteer to teach children about fire safety and give them a glimpse into the work of a firefighter. Johnson began by asking
Hannah Evans
the children if they knew how to “stop, drop and roll.” All of the kids smiled, but no one volunteered to demonstrate. After a few more questions, the children began to chime in. Johnson asked what the children should do if the door to their bedroom was closed during a fire. One child said, “You jump out the window!” In response to another question, a child said with confidence that a smoke detector “makes smoke.” The firefighters told the
children they should make a plan with their parents in case of a fire. They said this should include designating meeting places and routes to escape from different rooms. Johnson said to roll out of their beds and feel whether doors are hot before opening them during a fire. As preventative measures, he said kids should not touch appliances like stoves or play with matches and lighters. After the talk, Patrick donned firefighter’s gear and encouraged the children to interact with him. Many were excited to be face-to-face with the outfitted firefighter. Johnson said the children should never be afraid of a firefighter in an emergency because firefighters are always there to help. The children were ex-
Rural/Metro firefighter Jason Johnson shows kids how a hose connects to a fire truck at the Corryton Branch Library. Photo by Hannah Evans cited when Johnson asked them if they want to go outside the library to see the fire truck. He and Patrick took them around the truck’s perimeter and explained its different parts and functions. Johnson opened the compartment where EMS supplies are kept and even
showed a tool used to catch snakes, which was met with a chorus of “I like snakes!” Each child had a moment behind the wheel. The firefighters answered parents’ questions, too. Johnson said ideally each bedroom in a house should contain a smoke detector three feet
from the door. He said carbon monoxide detectors are also important. Children and parents alike left the library with the reminder that firefighters are important, engaged and passionate members of the community. Hannah Evans is a rising sophomore at the College of Charleston.

Halls Walmart employees Judy McBee and Delores Savage present American Cancer Society community rep Lauren Hensley and Ben Easterday with a check for $10,101.37 that was raised since February through volunteer hours and donations. McBee and Savage have family members and members of their Walmart family who have been affected by cancer and they worked hard to raise money for research and other beneficial resources. “It was hard work but well worth it,” said McBee. Easterday applauded the pair for their dedication and hard work. Photos by Ruth White Nancy Green and Alice Newport are hard at work at the Carter branch of Family and Community Education, an adult education and outreach group.
‘The best-kept secret’ Shannon Remington says Family and Community Education is the bestkept secret in Knoxville. Remington, the county president, says FCE strives to improve home and community life and streng then adult education by Remington using the talents of its members to educate others and help those in need. “I like giving back to the community with the experiences that I’ve had over the years and being a part of the community, helping in any way that I can,” said Remington. “This is a venue that can do that.” FCE has been hard at work making placemats out

of recycled greeting cards for Meals on Wheels, adult bibs, caddies for walkers and quillos (a blanket that folds into a pillow) for nursing homes; hats for a cancer center; sleepers for newborns in need; and sending personal care items to U.S. military personnel overseas. The group actively partners with 4-H programs and Character Counts programs in area schools. FCE holds workshops and camps throughout the year to educate other adults in different areas
like nutrition, agriculture, money management, and health and safety. “Everybody has something that they do so they share their knowledge that they specialize in.” Each year FCE sponsors a Cultural Arts Fair and competition where members of the club can bring their best homemade item made during that year to compete in one of 42 different events. The Knoxville FCE branch has locations in Carter, Crestwood, Bearden and Karns. It is opening news clubs in Farragut and Halls in July. FCE is open to any interested adult.

Lawn care made safe By Rob Webb Whether
you take p r i d e in your lawn or it’s simply another job on the honey-do list, every h o m e Webb o w n e r takes on lawn maintenance when the temperature starts to rise. On the surface, mowing your lawn, trimming your hedges and caring for your yard might not seem dangerous, but many people become complacent forgetting most lawn care tools are power tools, sharp blades or a combination of the two. According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, more than 25,000 people are injured each year caring for their lawns, including 75 deaths. One-fifth of those deaths occur when children get in the path of a mower. Fortunately, accidents around the yard can be avoided with a little extra care, supervision and focus. When using any gasoline or electric-powered tools, concentrate on the task at hand and do not leave machinery plugged in or running unattended, even for a short period of time. When it’s hot, wear long-sleeved shirts and
pants while operating power tools. Long sleeves and pants protect you from harmful UV rays, as well as from sticks and rocks that shoot out from under the mower or away from the clippers. Wearing appropriately fitting clothing can be a lifesaver. Don’t wear loose or baggy clothing that can get caught in engine parts. Dress safely in the heat and make sure you stay hydrated with plenty of water. In addition to mowers, gardening tools provide sharp blades that can be dangerous when mishandled or left out around the yard to be stepped on. Survey the area you are going to work on before you begin. Remove any dangerous objects and always put tools away after using them so they won’t be a hazard. Most importantly, know where your children are when operating machinery or sharp tools on the lawn. Make sure they are inside the house or carefully supervised away from your work area until you have packed all your tools back into the garage. Make your lawn the envy of the neighborhood this summer, but be sure you and your family enjoy the yard safely as well.

Hallsdale Powell Utility District will expand the Raccoon Valley wastewater plant, built 30 years ago for the World’s Fair. “Everything there is worn out,” said plant manager Nick Jackson. HPUD commissioners awarded a $2,504,550 contract to low bidder Judy Construction Company at last week’s meeting. The Raccoon Valley plant pumps treated wastewater into Bull Run Creek. The project will include a new generator and electrical backup in cases of power outage. It includes new blower equipment to introduce air to “bugs” which eat waste, and will increase both intake and output capacity, according to Jackson. “This will double our capacity at Raccoon Valley,” he said. The increased capacity could support commercial development around the Raccoon Valley and I-75 in-

The medallion Neal received in 2005 after completing rehabilitation at the Center, which she affectionately called “my hospital,â€? is prominently displayed as well. When the rehabilitation center opened in 1978, Patricia Neal was a perfect choice to serve as its namesake. The academy awardwinning actor grew up in Knoxville and successfully resumed her acting career after an arduous rehabilitation from three strokes in 1965. “When the center opened, Ms. Neal lent us her name, but she gave us her heart,â€? says Center Medical Director Dr. Mary Dillon. Through the years, Neal was an integral part of the facility’s fundraising efforts and was a frequent presence in “her hospital.â€? “For more than 30 years, she came here meeting, greeting and encouraging our patients and giving accolades to our staff,â€? says Dr. Dillon. Now, with the opportunity to see her many awards ďŹ rsthand, Neal’s life will continue to inspire the patients and staff of Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center.
Fort Sanders Regional President and Chief Administrative Officer Keith Altshuler; Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center Vice President and Administrator Leslie Irwin; Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center Medical Director Dr. Mary Dillon; and Fort Sanders Foundation Vice President of Development and Philanthropy Jeff Elliot stand next to the new permanent home of Patricia Neal’s Best Actress OscarŽ.

This giant leopard moth was found in the parking lot of a gas station in middle Tennessee. Although it had been roughed up by its journey, its beauty was still intact.
This red-tailed hawk was spotted on the side of Pellissippi Parkway going toward Oak Ridge. This species can be found throughout the United States and the lower half of Canada. Photos by S. Barrett
Wildlife at the gas station At the risk of sounding wise beyond my years, it seems that people are in such a hurry these days, they often forget to stop for a moment and appreci-
The trick is to keep your eyes open and be aware of your world. You never know when you may get a neat photo to post on Facebook. Unfortunately, one of the main reasons for these close encounters with the wild is that humans are slowly building their way Sara into the homes of the creaBarrett tures we are used to admiring from afar. Just last week, folks driving down Pellissippi Parkway may have caught a glimpse of a red-tailed ate the beauty of their sur- hawk that was perched on a roundings. Even a stop at a fallen tree just off the side gas station can offer an op- of the highway. The species portunity to view nature at isn’t too rare, but if you were talking on your cell its finest.

phone or thinking about your check list for the day, you would have missed seeing the real deal. Moths may also be a common sight, but you never know when a rare subject may present itself. In this case, a giant leopard moth had made its way to a gas station and could probably have sold autographs to the crowd of people that surrounded it. One thing to always remember when admiring wild life is to admire and respect the creature from a distance. It is called wildlife for a reason.
