Museum open house draws crowd It was “old home day” at the Roy Acuff Museum in Maynardville when staff and volunteers invited the public to come in, enjoy the museum, and look up their ancestors at the Museum’s open house. Here are some snapshots that include local folks Martha Carter and Judson Palmer.

B&P to meet The Halls B&P will meet at noon Tuesday, March 19, at Beaver Brook Country Club. Bob Wilson of Moxley Carmichael will speak about social media for businesses. Lunch is $10. The B&P will hold its annual prayer breakfast 7:30 a.m. Good Friday (March 29). Knox County Clerk Foster Arnett will speak. Tickets are $10 and are available at the Shopper-News office (922-4136) or at The UPS Store in Halls (922-3946).

Ft. Sumter Cemetery Association to meet The Fort Sumter Community Cemetery Board of Directors annual meeting is 7 p.m. Friday, March 22, at the cemetery office. The public is invited.

Volunteer Wanda Cox Byerley, far right, didn’t need computers to fill in ancestry information about some of the visitors. She could even tell first-person anecdotes about families and characters they were related to. But Judson Palmer, operating the computer, carried on despite Wanda’s kibitzing. At left, Kathy Hammer Stooksbury and her mother, Una V. Hammer, visited and were able to look up many local ancestors in the Hammer and Stooksbury families. Photos by Libby Morgan

Going to extremes Legislative majority presents challenges for Haslam By Betty Bean

“I am very pleased with the turnout we’ve had,” said museum president Martha Atkins Carter. She is shown here with the museum’s Chet Atkins display. Chet’s grandfather was her great-grandfather.

During the 2012 national elections, there was talk about a Republican War on Women. In 2013, Tennessee’s 108th General Assembly widened the battle into a multi-front conflagration, hitting hot-button themes that used to work so well as wedge issues when the GOP was in the minority. Now that they are a supermajority, the only significant obstacle in their way is Gov. Bill Haslam, a cautious man not inclined to extremes. Showdown No. 1: Medicaid expansion. These lines were drawn when the United States Supreme Court left Medicaid expansion up

to the states. Some Republican governors (Rick Scott of Florida, Jan Brewer of Arizona) have opted in; others (Rick Perry of Texas, Scott Walker of Wisconsin) have opted out. Haslam is being heavily lobbied by the state’s major hospitals, who want to offset looming Medicaid cuts with billions of federal dollars available under the new law. Showdown No. 2: It may not rise to the level of war, but few school boards or PTAs support diverting public money to private schools via vouchers. Haslam supports vouchers, but his bill is limited to 5,000 needy students in failing school districts during the first year, and gradually increases thereafter. Cultural conservatives favor a competing bill to make vouchers available in all districts immediately. Showdown No. 3: Some call

business.org/. Major sponsors are Angela Floyd Schools and Virginia College. The Egg Hunt is free to kids and fun for all. And don’t forget the traditional visit by the Easter Bunny (aka Mark Enix), pictured in the file photo at the far left. Regina Reed is event chair.

Haslam’s workers’ compensation reform initiative a War on Workers. Others call it a War on Lawyers. Whatever it’s called, there isn’t much daylight between Haslam and the most conservative elements of his party, who share a common distaste for organized labor and trial lawyers. This one will create a state agency run by a Haslam-appointed administrator to hear workers’ compensation cases, replacing courts and lawyers. It will negatively impact collections from fee offices as a revenue source for county governments. Showdown No. 4: Clerks hate this Stacey Campfield-sponsored bill because it will force them to shoulder half of the burden of notifying creditors when garnished debtors change jobs. Senate Bill 243 will make work for clerks, but will be far worse for debtors, who will be subject to contempt of court if their creditors aren’t notified – re-establishing debtors’ prisons in Tennessee.

Egg hunt for ages 4-7 starts at 9:30 a.m.; for ages 1-3 starts at 10:15 a.m.; and for ages 8-12 starts at 11 a.m. Prizes will include stuffed animals, games, Easter baskets, toys and bikes. Everyone should bring an Easter basket.

Showdown No. 5: The War on Vanderbilt, Part 2, is too good to skip. Last year, Haslam vetoed a bill outlawing Vanderbilt University’s “All Comers” rule, which requires student groups to allow any interested student to join. Social conservatives complain that this rule violates the rights of religious organizations to keep undesirables out, but Haslam came down on the side of keeping the state out of the business of private institutions. The issue is back this year, in the form of Sen. Mae Beavers’ bill requiring the state to de-certify the police forces of private institutions that violate the civil rights of religious organizations. Haslam’s 2012 veto stood because he waited until the General Assembly concluded its two-year session, too late for legislators to override it. The 108th session won’t end until 2014. 2704 Mineral Springs Ave. Knoxville, TN 37917 Ph. (865) 687-4537

City Council to decide on $1,500 deal to Dunn

City Council this week will consider approving the sale of two lots in Harrill Heights acquired in 1973 for flood control to state Rep. Bill Dunn, who says he’ll be present, even though he’ll have to drive over from Nashville after his Tuesday afternoon committee meetings and return the next morning for Wednesday’s legislative session.

Betty Bean Dunn says he intends to plant a garden on the lots, which he bought for $1,500 in a sealed bid process. Fountain Citians Jamie Rowe and Carlene Malone oppose the sale of land set aside for flood control adjacent to a sinkhole in a lowlying area with no surface drainage. City Engineering director Jim Hagerman says Dunn’s gardening plans won’t pose a significant threat to the sinkhole, and that the lots will be restricted to prohibit any other use. “We didn’t initiate (the sale), but we don’t have any problems with it from a technical perspective,” Hagerman said. “Any risks to the sinkhole drainage are so small that we don’t see it as a problem. As long as it’s a limited amount of tilled space the risks to that sinkhole’s ability to drain are microscopic. Many other things in that sinkhole basin are more risky than that – yards,

trees, cars – anything in there has some microscopic, incremental risks. “If you took out all the houses and just put a bunch of trees in, maybe the debris from the trees would clog it. There has to be a balance between human use and the natural system,” he said. Malone, who dedicated most of her discretionary funds to flood control in this area during her decade on City Council, says Hagerman’s reasoning stuns her because sedimentation is the biggest threat to sinkholes. She called the property sale “As bad an idea as I have seen. “How is this surplus property?” Malone asks. “This is property fulfilling the purpose for which it was purchased. For 1,500 bucks they’re willing to risk destroying a sinkhole? Do the risk analysis. That’s the only way to drain that area, and if it fails it will flood more homes. “Unbelievable. We just bought a bunch of houses (in East Knoxville) because a sinkhole failed, and we haven’t learned our lesson? Just leave it alone. … It’s not a question of if; it’s a question of when.” Dunn lives near the lots, has a degree in agriculture and says he wouldn’t do anything to hurt the neighborhood where he has lived for more than 40 years. He says he went through the proper channels, and the $1,500 he bid was more than city officials expected – “So nobody can accuse me of getting a sweetheart deal.

Jamie Rowe stands with the city’s notification that land in Fountain City acquired for flood control was available for sale. “The garden will be good for the neighborhood and it will be good for the city to put this property back on the tax rolls,” he said. Rowe, whose property backs up to the lots Dunn wants to buy, says the tax take will be miniscule, and

is beside the point anyway. “When the city purchased those homes and lots, city engineering said there wasn’t any way to lessen the flooding there, so to consider selling this land back to citizens is not something I really understand.”

The Maynardville method Shall we laugh or cry? Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett, who advocates transparency for everyone but himself, met surreptitiously with “eight or nine” commissioners last week to dissuade them from support of a requested $219,000 to start equipping and hiring 58 armed school security guards. This is the same Tim Burchett who found an almost identical amount to “audit” school security. And it is the same commission that virtually threw money at Jim McIntyre last month. You read their quotes in The Other Paper: “a ploy to get more money,” said Mike Brown. “The mayor said they have a pot load of money,” said R. Larry Smith, apparently confusing “boatload” and “pot full.” We’re spending almost $2 million annually for school security. Let’s buy some locks and rely on the

Sandra Clark

Sheriff’s Office and KPD to provide the security we need. That’s their job. Meanwhile, up in Maynardville, where money is harder to find, an innovative principal has hit upon a neat idea. Melanie Maples, principal at Horace Maynard Middle School, wrote a letter to her parents and staff, asking each family to donate $10 toward a goal of $7,000. That’s the quote from the Union County Sheriff’s Office for 16 cameras that link to the E-911 Center. In two weeks, Maples had raised $3,600 and is well on her way to getting the secu-

The evolution of the telephone MALCOLM’S CORNER | Malcolm Shell One of the most frequent questions I am asked is: “What is the biggest difference in your community today from the way it was 60 years ago?” From a technological standpoint, the telephone would have to be high on my list of answers. Today, smartphones do everything from take pictures to allow you to check email. They have a lot of other capabilities that I have yet to learn how to use. Moreover, these devices have created a vocabulary, such as “texting,” that Webster’s Dictionary has yet to include in its compilation of English words. It

is hard to go to any public place without seeing people of all ages with their eyes fixed on their phone, completely unaware of the world around them. Some time back, a TV station ran a clip on a woman who was leaving an office building in New York with her eyes fixed on her phone and walked into a fountain in front of the building. And that reminded me of a personal experience several months ago when I was turning left from Smith Road onto Kingston Pike. It had been raining and the road was slick. A woman talking on her

phone failed to notice the light had changed and that I was out in the middle of the road. She applied her brakes very hard and her car turned around once before jumping the curb at CVS Pharmacy and ended up in its entrance heading north towards Kingston Pike. But the most phenomenal thing was she still had the phone at her ear. In Old Concord, the advent of the wireless telephone was still decades in the future, but we did have a pioneering feature: teleconferencing. Our phone system was operated by the Hammond family, and it was a family operation.

Mrs. Retha Hammonds operated the switchboard from the bedroom of their home and her husband, Sim, maintained the land lines. If you lived out in the country, you had to buy your own telephone pole. Otherwise, Sim just strung the line through trees or along fence rows. Actually, this worked well except when the wind blew, which caused some static on the line. All of Concord was on six- to eight-person “party lines,” as they were called. I can remember that our phone usually rang in the early morning, and although each person on the line had their separate ring, everyone picked up and joined in the conversation. My mother knew each of our neighbors by their voice, and sometimes there would be several talking at the same time. The in-house equipment was a wood box affixed to the wall with an extended mouthpiece and a separate ear piece. It had a crank on

Scholarship continues Thompson’s work By Jake Mabe Scott Bacon and Mary Kerr couldn’t have found a better name for a memorial scholarship than the one named in memory of Barney Thompson. Each year since Thompson’s death due to complications from pancreatic cancer in April 2007, Knox County Schools Partners in Education (PIE), which Bacon and Kerr oversee, through the primary sponsorship of the Knoxville Area Association of Realtors, awards a $500 scholarship named for Thompson to one graduating senior from each Knox County high school. Funds are also provided through donations from individual Realtors and monies

raised from PIE’s annual Dine Out for Education event Thompson was a teacher and coach at South High School. He entered the real estate profession in 1980, continuing to teach aspiring Realtors. An education room at the Knoxville Area Association of Realtors’ complex is named for Thompson. He was also the PIE advisory board’s (the program was initially known as Adopt-A-School) only treasurer until his death. “I was at Coca-Cola and was the Adopt-A-School president when we went to see the Association of Realtors,” Bacon says. “That’s when we started the association with Barney.

Barney Thompson Photo submitted

He jumped on board and asked if he could also be a part of the advisory board because he was passionate about kids. He was so good at keeping the Association involved and was a good treasurer.” Kerr jokes that “for the

longest time, members of the (PIE) board didn’t think there was a Barney. Because of his job, he often couldn’t make it to monthly board meetings. But he was very loyal about faxing over the treasurer reports every month. And he would come to our spring luncheon, and when we started having our kickoff luncheons in August, he would come to those.” Several Realtors have remained active PIE members due to Thompson’s influence. Kerr remembers a serendipitous meeting she and Bacon attended that paid big dividends for the school system. “They were having a Realtors Trade Expo at the Knoxville Expo Center. We

the side which had to be turned to reach Mrs. Hammonds, who then routed you through to the person you were calling. Several days ago, I was serving as a docent at the Farragut Folklife Museum and had the pleasure of conducting a tour for a Boy Scout troop. Of all the items featured in the museum, the one that drew the most attention was an old wooden box telephone. Many acted as if they had never seen such a piece of equipment and were anxious to take pictures of it with their smartphones. During the early ’80s and ’90s, we owned a service-type firm and probably had one of the first portable phones in our area. The equipment consisted of a briefcase with a crank not too different from our phone in Old Concord. You called the mobile operator who put you through to your party. It required a high antenna on the car and there were many “dead spots” where the service

was not available. There can be little doubt that the advancement in communications has had a positive impact on productivity. With the advent of space satellites and GPS systems, it would be hard for anyone born in the past 20 years to comprehend just how far we have progressed. But I still think there is something nostalgic about our old wooden telephone, and it seemed to serve the public well in an era when the pace of life was much slower. And while I can remember pots boiling over on the stove while someone was talking on the phone, I don’t recall that we ever walked into decorative fountains or put people’s life in peril by talking on the phone when driving. The noted German physicist Albert Einstein once said, “When technology replaces humanity, then we will become a nation of idiots.” I wonder how he would feel about that if he were alive today.

went because he told us to go and that we’d have a free booth. We thought, ‘How is this going to benefit the school system?’” Well, that happened to be the year the school system’s coupon book’s main sponsor dropped out, leading to a new relationship with SunTrust Bank. The annual school coupon book sale (The Original Knox County School Coupon Book) is the PIE’s main fundraiser for the year. Another company at the expo also donated $1,500 to the school system, helping to purchase playground equipment for Fort Sanders Educational Development Center. Barney Thompson Memorial Scholarship applications are available from any high school guidance counselor or can be downloaded by visiting www.

knoxschools.org and clicking on the Partners in Education link. Applications must be turned in to a student’s guidance counselor by Wednesday, April 10. The awards ceremony will be held for the second of what is planned to be a yearly event May 9 at the Knoxville Area Association of Realtors complex, in – where else – the Barney Thompson Education Room. “We just think it’s a fitting way to honor a guy who did so much,” Bacon says. “We’re thankful to the Association for providing funding and a Association member and Barney’s widow, LaRue, pick a winner as well.”

In need of a mobile quarterback Butch Jones is a confident coach. He is convinced his way will work. He says his system is infallible if players buy in. I say the market is open. Step right up. Butch would have us believe he is flexible and adaptive to available talent. You won’t hear another word about those who departed early for the NFL. Well, you may hear congratulations if they are drafted high. Coach Jones’ focus is clearly forward. He will not dwell on what is missing or how chaotic was Sal’s sad defense. Spring practice is not half over but I already know Butch has a positive, passionate personality. He thinks the Vols can and will make the necessary adjustments and have an improved look come September. Jones needs a quarterback who can protect the football and throw it to the correct color shirt. History says a mobile quarterback adds to offensive efficiency. We’re not talking about a

Marvin West

sprinter who takes the snap and goes flying toward the corner. Tennessee can get by without a Tim Tebow comparable who runs over people if there are no openings. All Butch needs is a smart guy who can read defenses and convert third and three if eight of the bad guys drop into coverage. I suppose it would help if the QB was a threat to do something other than throw deep on second and seven. Junior Justin Worley and redshirt freshman Nathan Peterman have the immediate opportunity to demonstrate the necessary skills. In August they

A rush of jonquils Arise my love, my fair one, and come away; for now the winter is past, the rain is over and gone. The flowers appear on the earth; the time of singing has come, and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land. (Song of Solomon 2: 10b-12 NRSV) The things one learns when chasing trivia! I have been watching jonquils for several days now. Their sunny yellow, trumpet-shaped heads have been announcing spring all this past week, and I smile when I see them. But this year I am also remembering: remembering a spring when I lived deep in the country (a mile from my own mailbox). One spring day, on a walk with Hasso, the German shepherd, I discovered an anomaly in the woods: an open space with jonquils surrounding the remains of an old foundation.

Cross Currents

I stood long, looking at what was left of someone’s home. I drank in the beauty and peacefulness of the place, and wondered about the person (a woman, I presumed) who had knelt in the dirt and placed bulbs there to make her yard a living wonder.

multi-talented people as Archie Manning and Gary Beban. They are in the hall of fame. The NFL created the prostyle quarterback. Peyton Manning and Tom Brady are perfect examples. They run only if their life is at risk. With the occasional sack counting off, Peyton’s career rushing totals at UT were minus 181 yards. Casey Clausen was minus 130. Tyler Bray finished at minus 207. Erik Ainge was minus 227. Let me say this gently: They were not runners. So, how much mobility does Butch Jones need? Prime payoff will still come from sound protection and accurate pocket passes. The ability to throw on the run adds an important dimension. Pulling it down and moving on is another. The read option is a weapon. From the shotgun, running attacks are hampered without the threat of a mobile quarterback. So, how much is enough? Keeping us and defenses guessing is Jones’ goal.

will be compared to newcomers Joshua Dobbs, Riley Ferguson and Charlie High. Since there is a system change, experience may not be decisive. Worley is 6-4 and 213. Nimble and fleet? Not exactly. Jones and associates recruited Peterman as a fit for their Cincinnati power spread – if that is what they run. Dobbs has credentials. Ferguson is a warrior. High brings awesome stats. All five are intelligent. Mobile quarterbacks are the in-thing. Even the pros have caught the fever and are taking the gamble. Alas, the odds of injury do go up with open-field exposure. See RGIII. Tennessee has a great dualthreat quarterback just down the hall from Jones’ office. Condredge Holloway could throw or go. After him were Jimmy Streater and Heath Shuler and Tee Martin. Before the Artful Dodger, college football had such famous

Marvin West invites reader reaction. His address is westwest6@netzero.com

The house was gone, the woman was gone, but her f lowers remained. I remember every spring: that ghost of a house, those happy, fragile flowers, and the woman I never knew. Every time I see jonquils growing in some odd place, some forlorn bit of ground far from any house or garden, I think of her, and wonder if the beauty she planted (and no doubt loved and enjoyed) continues to flower – to beautify a small, hidden corner of the world. I hope they are still there, standing testament to her industry and careful love. Even if a young woman and her dog were the only ones who ever saw. Because I love words at least as much as jonquils, I looked up the derivation of their name, and discovered it is from the French word jonquille, which means rush. (Aha! I thought. That’s what they get for being in such an all-fired hurry to bloom in the

spring! But I was wrong!) They are named for rushes (think: bulrushes) because they have hollow stems. (There are worse rationales for naming a flower, I’m sure, but I can’t think what it might be!) By that time, I was off on another tangent: what might be the collective noun for a whole bunch of jonquils? I was disappointed to learn (at least according to my fabulous and useful book of collective nouns) that there is none. At which point, I decided I would create one: a rush of jonquils! There! My very own collective noun! Rush, because of the derivation of their name, but also because of their tendency to hurry spring! So, the next time you see a “rush” of jonquils, let it remind you that spring is almost here, and these yellow heraldic trumpets are announcing its coming for all they are worth.

News from SOS A state House committee March 6 created a new nine-member board with the authority to override charter school decisions made by a local school board. An earlier version of the bill, which applied only to Nashville and Memphis, called for the state Board of Education to appoint a single state “authorizer.” The recent bill designates a board, with the governor and the speakers of the state House and Senate each appointing three members. The law will apply statewide. The new board will consider a charter school only after a local school board has reviewed it. Impetus for the bill arose last year when the Metro Nashville school board defied a state Board of Education directive to approve a charter in West Nashville run by Great Hearts Academies, a Phoenix-based charter school system. The current bill is promoted by Nashville mayor Carl Dean. SOS opposes this bill. It amounts to an unfunded mandate since the nine-member board could require a local system to accept a charter school they might have reason to oppose. The school system, however, would be required to fund the school from its current budget if their decision were overruled. As well, we are concerned about challenges facing a school administration made to work with a charter school it had not approved. Also, let your legislators know your opposition to electing school superintendents. Knox County Commission tabled a resolution but the effort is apparently still alive at the state level. We urge you to join SOS in opposing it by contact your state senators and representatives.

Mission Statement: To improve the quality of life of all those God places in our path by building on our experiences of the past, pursuing our vision for the future and creating caring life-long relationships.

Silvertones members prepare for practice. Photos by Cindy Taylor

Singing with silver By Cindy Taylor More than 20 years ago Mike Bundon formed the Silvertones choir at Beaver Dam Baptist Church. The group of senior singers started with around 30 members and was one of the first of its kind in the Southern Baptist Convention. The name lends itself to visions of white-haired seniors, but Bundon said folks of all ages who love to sing have always been welcome. “People often think they aren’t old enough to join, and by the time they think they are old enough, they decide they’re too old,” said Bundon. Bundon recalled years of bonding among members during travel, performances and break-downs of the bus variety. “We were on our way back from Nashville one year when the bus broke down,” he said. “We had to spend the night at a rest stop. We had such a great

time together and formed a very tight bond.” Bundon has retired from Beaver Dam, but the Silvertones continue under the direction of Angie Cook. Vicki Van De Griff accompanies the group on piano. It has grown to more than 50 members and become a sought-after singing sensation. “We are preparing now for Tune Share,” said Cook. “That is a choral festival that happens every year in May. This gives our members a chance to meet and get to know other senior adults.” The group fills the choir loft to perform at least twice a year, but they also travel outside the area to perform for other senior groups and at special events. And they always

Silvertones charter members June Hubbs, Jean Vance and Betty King have a great time. “You don’t have to sing well to join us,” said member Leanette Glaze. “Mike used to tell us during practice that we had sung every note, now let’s see if we can sing the right notes.” The Silvertones have performed at the Tennessee Baptist Convention and have sung the National Anthem during a Smokies baseball game at least once each season for a number of years.

“This group is so fun to work with,” said Cook. “Last fall was my first time to work with them and I am enjoying it so much.” Practice brings the Silvertones together every other Monday from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the church’s choir room. But the emphasis is on fun and fellowship. Those with a heart for any of these purposes are invited to join. Info: 925-9323.

Maria Brichetto Markwell was named Sterchi Elementary’s Teacher of the Year. Photo by Ruth White

Markwell named Sterchi’s top teacher By Ruth White Sterchi Elementary firstgrade teacher Maria Brichetto Markwell has always known that she wanted to work with children when she grew up. Becoming a teacher just came natural. “I have the attention span of a six year old. I am 6,” she said with a laugh. Her fun, almost childlike personality makes for a great classroom environment. She stays tuned in to her students’ curiosity and provides a nurturing learning environment. “First-grade students are full of questions and are so excited to learn.” Markwell leads a lot of hands-on activities (including classroom animals), allows for movement and lets students become their own person. “I try to take their inter-

ests and help them expand.” Sterchi Elementary is a special place for Markwell. Her children went to the school, and she was hired when her third child was in first grade. “The whole experience has been a gift from God.” Being named the schoollevel Teacher of the Year is an honor for which she is grateful, but she believes that everyone at Sterchi is deserving of the honor. The school is fortunate to have fantastic leadership in principal Cindy Bosse and is a happy, safe place for learning, she says. “All of the teachers here focus on learning, but they make it fun.” When she isn’t busy in the classroom, Markwell enjoys spending time with her husband, watching movies and exercising.

Shopper-News Presents Miracle Makers

A dream job for Wanda Lacy By Sara Barrett Since she was a child, Farragut High School teacher and math department chair Wanda Lacy has had a passion for math. “I love it. I love how things connect,” Lacy said. Because of that love, she changed her course of study in college from engineering to teaching. “I don’t think you ever graduate from high school thinking you want to teach. But somewhere along the line, I just knew that I had to teach. I changed my major to math education.” The University of Tennessee graduate says she does not see her work as a job. “I come to school every day, I do not come to work. I love my kids. I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else.” Lacy has been named Knox County Schools’ high school Teacher of the Year for 2013. This is the second time in her career that she has received the honor. Having begun teaching at Farragut High School in 1983, Lacy took an extended leave of absence to begin work on a Ph.D. in education. But her love of teaching pulled her back to the school. She still values the experience and research she gained during her leave, and she credits it for much of her current teaching method. Lacy starts each lesson with a Power Point presentation before she breaks the class into small groups. She said it has taken a number of years to get a good working order to the idea, but says, “I think I’ve finally arrived with groups.” Lacy steps back from the spotlight during group work to become more of a facilitator. Each group contains students from opposite ends of the learning spectrum, similar to running a business. One student is designated group leader and everything is presented to the class from the

team as a unit. “We have great students at Farragut.” Lacy said she enjoys the diversity of the students and how well they get along with one another. She also teaches in the school’s math academy, where students who have a genuine interest in math-related careers are paired up with mentors in those career fields from the community. “Everybody has a passion about something.” Since she started teaching calculus in 2007, 97 percent of Lacy’s students have earned at least one semester of college credit by taking the course during high school. “That’s the goal in my class. Can we get you college credit?” Without getting to know her students personally though, Lacy

said it would be impossible to help them learn. If they are struggling with other classes, they can come to her as a whole to reschedule a test for a chapter. She has an opendoor policy and wants each student to feel comfortable coming to her with an issue. After they graduate college, many students return to visit Lacy. After catching up, she always asks each one what she could do differently to improve upon her teaching method. And she always takes their advice seriously. In addition to her work with her students, Lacy is a lead teacher at Farragut High, and she conducts evaluations for other teachers in the department. She considers herself a proponent of the teaching evaluation program. She thinks it allows teachers to find room for improvement on their methods, and although she says she may have initially been a bit hesitant to

buy into the idea, she now thinks it’s made her a better teacher. “It’s easy to say something doesn’t work. But you’ve got to try it first. You have to be open to change. “These students don’t want to see (their teacher) as someone who will make them come in and sit down and be quiet. They want to see you as someone who wants them to be successful. “When they walk back in from college, I want them to say ‘Thank you Ms. Lacy, I am successful.’ Because that’s what we all want, is to be successful.” When she’s not teaching or doing something related to it, Lacy spends time with her husband, Ray, and their two daughters and four grandchildren. She has already found a fan of math in her 9-year-old grandson, whom she tutors in geometry.

NEWS FROM COMFORT CARE

Comfort Care offers in-home care services

In 2010, Baby Boomers began to reach the age of 65, and in the next few decades the number of elderly citizens in Tennessee will skyrocket. As they age, many who aren’t ready to leave their home for an institutional setting or to live with relatives can remain in their home with the help of an inhome caregiver. A new company called Comfort Care has been launched in Knoxville that provides quality and compassionate care for elderly family members and loved ones who prefer to remain in the comfort of

their own home, despite circumstances that make it difficult for them to do so. Services include comprehensive, around-the-clock companion care for anyone, of any age, who needs it. Care advisor Jeannie Bates says, “Comfort Care has a unique understanding of the issues today’s families face, struggling to find time for even the most basic activities amidst ever-busier lives. “Finding experienced, compassionate and affordable caregivers can be a challenge, but it doesn’t have to be. Keeping individuals engaged in life mentally, emotion-

ally, physically and socially can make a difference in their well-being. At Comfort Care, we call this philosophy Total Care. “It gives our clients a healthier and more meaningful quality of life. We customize a care plan that focuses on improving the health and well-being of those entrusted to our care. Our clients count on us for outstanding care and just about anything else they need, anytime, anywhere, so they and their loved ones can get the most out of life.” Comfort Care case manager Melanie Everett understands the need for competent and compassionate caregivers. She says: “Comfort Caregivers are professional and well-trained. “What truly puts them above other in-home caregivers, however, is their natural gift for caring for others. They have a heart for in-home service, and Comfort Care has a thorough screening and interviewing process to identify

them from those less devoted. “Only those who pass this process go on to complete training to deliver our special brand of home care, and become Comfort Caregivers. “Our Comfort Caregivers pass extensive background checks and complete continuing education. They’re bonded and insured, carry certified ID and are covered by Workers’ Compensation insurance to protect our clients and their families. Also, because our inhome caregivers are Comfort Care employees, we take care of their payroll taxes and insurance.”

For more information or a free, no obligation needs assessment, you can call 865-9223030 or visit online at www. caretn.com. Service is affordable and all insurance plans are accepted or easy payment plans can be arranged.

Shake for lunch, anyone?

Sterchi’s Family Fun Night

By Cindy Taylor Guest speaker Eric Benson brought energy and excitement to the Powell BPA in March. Benson had the attendees on their feet in a “Chicago” dance move to shake off their negative energy. “Let’s all stand up and go like this,” said Benson with knees bent and hands shaking toward the floor. “I am powersending the message on how to revolutionize your workforce.” Within 10 minutes Benson had most in the room convinced that they could strengthen relationships among employees and produce better results for their business. Benson asked pointed, often humorous questions and gave absolute answers for moving an organization forward in a positive way. “In order for individuals to bring their ‘A’ game I firmly believe that we need to calm them down,” he said. “A happy person is able to access more of their best and bring it to the table. The first thing to do is move people from a stressed state to a happy state.” Benson is a professional speaker, facilitator and writer who imparts wisdom on “becoming one happy being.”

NEWS FROM FAMILY DENTISTRY

Family Dentistry has ideal atmosphere for young patients By Shana Raley-Lusk When it comes to dental health, Dr. Jason Phillips and the friendly staff at Family Dentistry of Knoxville know how to put their youngest patients at ease. From the family-friendly atmosphere to the televisions in each operatory, Phillips makes it a priority to put children and families ﬁrst. “The televisions allow children to watch their favorite shows on Disney or Nickelodeon while they are here,” says Phillips. “It just helps make the visit a little more fun and enjoyable.” Phillips has been practicing in Fountain City for 2-1/2 years. During that time, he has made it a pri-

ority to promote the importance of dental hygiene and regular checkups among local families. Dr. Phillips grew up in East Tennessee, graduated from the University of Tennessee College of Dentistry in 2008 and completed a residency at UT Medical Center. He is married to Kathryn and has two children. “I feel that it is important to educate parents on various aspects of dental health such as brushing techniques and the importance of sealants for children,” he says. For children involved in sports activities, Phillips stresses the safety value of mouth guards. At Family Dentistry, parents can have mouth guards custom-ﬁtted

to protect their children’s teeth. “It is our priority to put both parents and young children at ease,” says Phillips. “We want to accommodate them in any way that we can. Many people are apprehensive and we want to alleviate that.” Family Dentistry is at the forefront of technology in the dental ﬁeld. Phillips utilizes digital Xrays, which involve signiﬁcantly less radiation than their conventional counterparts. “We also have intra-oral cameras that can give the patient a view of what we see during their exam. This helps us to better educate our patients and make them aware of any problems,” Phillips says.

(Seated) Jill George, Brenda Tullock; (standing) Dr. Jason Phillips, Joan Brantley, Tammy Grabowski, Gina Garris Photo by Ruth White The practice will soon be launching a new lifetime whitening program for adults as well. “As long as they maintain regular six-month check-ups and preventive care, we will provide our patients with yearly whitening,” says Phillips. For adults and children alike, Family Dentistry of Knoxville offers premium dental care in a re-

laxed, friendly atmosphere. “We want patients to know that we can treat parents and children at the same time,” says Phillips. “This way, the visit is as efﬁcient and easy as possible.”

When: When reviewing accounts, go with your spouse to learn the types of accounts held and how each works. Where: Know where account information is located. Why: Take time to understand why you have certain accounts. I knew the answers to three of the five points during Lewis’ presentation and plan on getting answers from my husband on the other two. I’m slightly ahead of the game but want to be prepared for the future. Heiskell United Methodist Church will host an Easter egg hunt 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, March 30, at the church.

Music and art and baseball, ‘Oh my!’ By Cindy Taylor Jason Earley has been accepted to Belmont University and received a scholarship there to major in songwriting. Approximately 30 people per year are accepted into that program. Multi-talented doesn’t even begin to describe the Union County High School 2013 salutatorian. Earley drew national attention with his music more than three years ago. His art has garnered multiple awards and his athletic abilities have helped keep the Patriots at the top of their game in baseball for four years. His bio reads like a Who’s Who in America, not just Union County. And yet Earley remains shy when it comes to singing his own praises. “My favorite thing I do is song-writing,” said Earley. “My stepdad thought it would be cool for me to write my own song so he helped me do

that when I was 7 years old.” This spurred an early love for music and art and started Earley on his chosen career path. He has artwork on display at the Union County Arts Center, but his love of music and song writing trumps all else as his favorite pastime. His focus is in performing arts, and he has two professionally produced CDs currently on the market. All songs on both CDs are written and performed by Earley who plays guitar. A highlight of his life was performing with the Christian group Third Day in 2012. Earley recently starred in an online commercial for Lifeway Christian Stores. He has received notification that his song “I’m Not Stupid” is a semi-finalist in the teen category of the International Songwriting Competition. He will perform his song “Even When We Cry” in

Newtown, Conn., this June. The song is a tribute to the lives lost in the Sandy Hook School shooting. Earley said he felt led to write the song in the hope that it would bring peace and comfort to hurting families. Needless to say, he is busy. “I have to make time to do all the things I love,” said Earley. “My personal time is when I am at home. That’s when I write my music.”

He is an award-winning author and his work in graphite reflects talent far beyond his years. Baseball season has begun, and Earley will pitch and play first base for the Patriots. Through the past few years of accumulated fame Earley is quick to give all credit for his abilities to God. “My passion is to glorify Jesus through the music I write, sing and perform,” said Earley. “It’s all for Him.”

Davis Center For Child Development Legend of the Dogwood Tree When Christ was on earth, the dogwood grew To a towering size with a lovely hue. It’s branches were strong and interwoven And for Christ’s cross its timbers were chosen.

Slender and twisted it shall always be, With cross shaped blossoms for all to see. Petals shall have bloodstains marked in brown, And in all the blossom centers a thorny crown.

Being distressed at the use of the wood Christ made a promise which still holds good. Not ever again shall the dogwood grow To be large enough for such a tree, and so,

All who see it shall think of me, Nailed to a cross from a dogwood tree. Protected and cherished the tree shall be A reflection to all of my agony. — Author Unknown

NEWS FROM CONSTRUCTION PLUS

Clients praise Construction Plus ‘Reasonable, fair and honest’ By Sandra Clark

Dennis Koontz, owner of Consolidated Insurance Services, says he would trust Sandy Loy with any project. “He holds himself very accountable, both in his character and professionally. We’re very good friends. I would trust Sandy Loy with anything I have. Sandy Loy If someone wants a quality project, I would highly recommend Sandy and Construction Plus.”

Koontz partnered with Sandy on the Koontz Loy Taylor (KLT) Office Complex in West Knoxville in November 1998. He also worked with Construction Plus when he moved into the Brookville Building No. 1 near Northshore Towers. “Sandy has probably more credentials than any other commercial contractor in this town,” says Koontz. “He has degrees (architect and engineering), 30 years experience, and was the first Certified Construction Manager in the area. “He is meticulous and is very hands-on on every project that he does. Customers are cared for properly and get their money’s worth. His goal is to give you a quality product within budget and on time.” Koontz cited the recently completed $2 million project for Cherokee Health Systems in Morristown. “He built it in 60 days. That’s just astounding. They worked 24/7 and finished on time and on budget.”

JBF & Associates

Dr. Jerry Fussell is now retired and a consulting engineer for JBF & Associates on Pellissippi Parkway. During his career, Dr. Fussell performed engineering work Jerry Fussell on safety and reliability for complex engineering systems worldwide, including nuclear power plants. He says he was “not entirely happy” when he built Phase I of

his ofﬁce complex. So he hired Sandy Loy and Construction Plus Inc. for Phase II, a project twice the size of Phase I. Six years later, he went back to Sandy for Phase III. Now JBF & Associates has contracted for $1 million worth of renovations, and Sandy is doing that as well. “If I were going to describe his organization, I would say he has a value-driven company where things like reliability, quality, customer service and respect would be the values that drive him,” Fussell says. “In dealing with Sandy, he has been reasonable, fair, honest and always gives more than anyone has a right to expect. He and I, in all these years, have stayed friends.” Sandy was not satisﬁed with the doors at one point and went around and hand-rubbed every door himself, Fussell recalls. Sandy expects detail work. “If I ever noticed an issue, he would already have taken care of it by the time I noticed it.”

KLT Office Complex

25th anniversary Construction Plus Inc. is celebrating its 25th year in 2013. In January we interviewed office manager Glenda Tipton, who has worked with owner Sandy Loy for 15 of those years. This month we’ve talked with several clients about their experiences.

Panther Sark Office Building built for Dr. Jerry Fussell in 1991 and 1998. Construction Plus Inc. is now restoring the building back to “as-built” quality with new infrastructure technology for energy management and security. “Sandy does value engineering and gets the cost down without sacriﬁcing quality or function,” says Fussell. “He’s very diplomatic. He never complained and just did his job. “I believe he surrounds himself with quality people who do good work. If it doesn’t meet his standards, he’ll redo it.”

Systems, says his company first worked with Sandy Loy on a project in Englewood. “We liked his approach. He was a good fit, and we’ve kept him.” Construction Plus Inc. is currently working for Cherokee to renovate a building for a new clinic on 5th Avenue in Knoxville. The company built a Crisis Stabilization Unit in Morristown and is getting ready to add a second floor there. “I like the approach of the Jeff Howard, chief finan- construction manager in which cial officer for Cherokee Health he’s basically working for us. The

chemistry is really good. He understands how we think about the project, and I know he’s going to be looking out for our good. “We have very high expectations of the people we work with. The relationship we have, it’s like he’s part of our company. We just feel like it’s that kind of relationship,” said Howard. “We trust him. There are multiple instances in which he has found savings. We respect that in a contractor. Building up the cost is not a motivator with Sandy.”

Covenant Presbyterian Church

Curt Jawdy chaired the

building committee for Covenant Presbyterian Church, a project entrusted to Construction Plus Inc. Jawdy says: “Sandy Loy built a new facility for our church and did a top-notch job. Working with a church building committee is always a challenge and Sandy handled it perfectly. “We worked through several revisions to get the ‘vision’ and the budget aligned. He stayed on top of the project throughout, even providing excellent follow-up after we moved in. We would work with Construction Plus again in a heartbeat.”

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

Heart attack is no laughing matter Helen “Snooky” Ward of Knoxville loves making people smile. She and her husband, Dallas, are professional clowns, entertaining crowds at local baseball games, community events and parties. But heart disease is no laughing matter to Ward. On Father’s Day in June, Ward had her second heart attack and second cardiac stent procedure in seven years. Ward says even though she felt “heavy chested,” she didn’t think she was having a heart attack. “I was at church that morning and thought I’d pulled a muscle,” she remembers. “Later in the afternoon, the pain went to my neck and jaw area, and I couldn’t breathe.” Ward finally went to the Fort Sanders Emergency Room that evening and was quickly diagnosed with a heart attack. “It wasn’t a blockage, but my heart vessels were badly constricted,” she says. Ward’s cardiologist, Dr. Mike Ayres with Knoxville Heart Group, placed a stent in her coronary artery and recommended that after her heart healed for a couple weeks, she attend the Fort Sanders Cardiac Rehabilitation Outpatient Program, also known as “CROP.”

“I did heart rehab at Fort Sanders seven years ago and knew that was where I wanted to go,” says Ward. “Fort Sanders has always been our hospital. My daughter was born there.” Over the next three months at CROP, Ward took part in health classes and exercise sessions designed to strengthen her heart muscle. “They had me doing the treadmill, bikes, steps, weights and the arm machine,” says Ward. “I feel so much better all over. I find myself wanting to take a walk at home now.” That’s a big deal for Ward, who was a self-described “couch potato.” Since undergoing cardiac rehab at Fort Sanders, she has lost weight and says she has more energy than ever. “I get up and do things now. I’m motivated to keep exercising.” Ward, who has now completed CROP, is continuing to pursue a healthier lifestyle. “I’m eating healthier and feel good. It’s a great program. The staff cares and really takes pride in helping people like me!”

The exercises and healthier habits Helen has learned at the Fort Sanders Cardiac Outpatient Rehabilitation Program gives her more energy when she “clowns around” with husband Dallas.

At right, Helen “Snooky” Ward lost 19 pounds while participating in the Cardiac Rehabilitation Outpatient Program (CROP) at Fort Sanders Regional.

Exercise your heart at

Fort Sanders Cardiac Rehab Center

For more information about the Cardiac Rehabilitation Outpatient Program at Fort Sanders Regional, call 865-541-1250 or go to fsregional.com/cardiovascular.

Leaving the hospital is just the first step in recovering from a heart attack, heart surgery or angioplasty. Cardiac patients often need to strengthen weakened heart muscles and learn heart-healthy practices. Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center heart patients are referred to the hospital’s Cardiac Rehabilitation Outpatient Program. The three-month program offers exercise sessions and health classes to establish lifestyle changes that help reduce the patient’s risk of further heart disease. “Cardiac Rehabilitation is a multidisciplinary treatment plan which involves medication, nursing, exercise physiology, nutrition and psychology. We know it’s difficult to make lifestyle change, so we try to provide people support so they can change,” explains cardiac rehab nurse case manager Brenda Leuthold. Patients exercise three times each week while hooked to a heart monitor. They also attend different classes on nutrition, stress management and medications. “It’s long enough to help form healthy habits,” says Leuthold. After completing the rehab program, patients are invited back to the center to continue exercising. The center has exercise bikes, step machines, treadmills and free weights. “It’s a wonderful support group for anybody that’s had heart disease or heart procedures,” says Leuthold. “We have a lot of great outcomes.”

Get heart healthy! Physical exercise and a heart-healthy diet are keys to preventing and recovering from heart disease, according to the American Heart Association. Some more heart healthy recommendations: ■ ■ ■ ■

Don’t smoke Maintain a healthy weight Get daily moderate exercise Eat a healthy diet, low in saturated fats, processed sugar and sodium, and high in fiber ■ Eat five fruits and vegetables each day ■ Know your numbers for blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar, and manage high levels with medication if necessary

A big heart

This week we mourn the passing of a special soul.

The folks at Shannondale Healthcare Center are particularly sad. Daisy was She wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t very big, but â&#x20AC;&#x153;theirâ&#x20AC;? girl. She showed up she helped more people in every Wednesday for the her brief life than most of past three years to spread us do in our long ones. She her special kind of therapy. brought joy to everyone who Daisy was a HABIT (Huknew her. man Animal Bond in TenHer name was Daisy, and nessee ) dog. she was a Shih-Tzu/ChihuaHABIT dogs receive no hua mix.

HABbefore her harness was fas- IT program administratened for a walk, she darted tor Karen Armsey says she out the door and was hit by a looks for a certain temperacar. She didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t survive. ment.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can teach a dog how to walk on a leash and how to obey commands, but HABIT dogs have to enjoy people, and you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t teach that. Daisy had the right temperament from the getgo. She just melted everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heart.â&#x20AC;? Daisyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s owner, Mali Glazer, who is understandably heartbroken these days, remembers their first visit to HABIT in 2010, when the little dog was not yet a year old. The evaluation team took Daisy into a closed room where they proceeded to expose her to all manner of nursing home apparatuses: wheelchairs, walkers, lift chairs. They tried to scare her by dropping lunch trays and making other sudden noises. Nothing fazed her. After 45 unperturbed minutes, the team brought the animal back to her owner with the warning, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re lucky to get your dog back, lady, because we all want to adopt her.â&#x20AC;?

Paulette Beaulieu, Shannondaleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s director of activities, says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Daisy was very important to us. She was so sweet and the residents just loved her â&#x20AC;&#x201C; she was a joy.â&#x20AC;? Beaulieu recalls that residents who were unresponsive in everyday life would light up at the sight of Daisy. Glazer remembers that on her first day, â&#x20AC;&#x153;she walked into that place and just took over.â&#x20AC;? The little canine therapist loved cuddling. She seemed to know who needed her most at any given time. She provided comfort and joy not only to the residents of Shannondale but also to their families. One staffer remarked that she was â&#x20AC;&#x153;the best HABIT dog weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever had.â&#x20AC;? Glazer puts it in a nutshell: â&#x20AC;&#x153;She was a tiny dog with the heart of many dogs.â&#x20AC;? So, hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to a sweet soul that came in a very small package. And blessings upon all HABIT dogs. Info: ht t p://w w w.vet.ut k.edu/ habit/index.php.
