McIntyre visits Shannondale

By Ruth White Shannondale Elementary School has several new looks – including a new principal, new staff members and new construction projects.

New lighting brightens the hallways. In the works is a secure entrance to require all visitors to check in at the main office.

The school’s new principal, Jack Nealy, plans to become involved in the community.

He wants to bring everyone together.

“We have level four and five teachers at this school,” Nealy told visiting Superintendent Dr. Jim McIntyre and guests on the opening day of the new school year.

Nealy wants to strengthen areas that need improvement, such as math, and reinforce already strong achievement areas through teacher collaboration.

McIntyre toured the school, visited with students and talked with teachers and staff.

In all, it was a strong start for a school that has seen much Knox County Schools Superintendent Dr. Jim McIntyre chats with a student at Shannondale Elementary School on change since last year. the first day of classes. Photo by Ruth White

Tim-berrrr Complaints about TVA’s tree cutting go statewide

By Betty Bean Donna Sherwood feels good about standing up and telling the TVA board of directors how she feels about their tree cutting policies. Last week she spoke to the board about the agency’s aggressive policy, which mandates clear-cutting swaths up to 200 feet wide along high voltage easements.

Sherwood and a neighbor, Jerome Pinn, filed suit against TVA in April after contractors came through Westminster Place subdivision and started marking more than 120 trees along the utility right of way for removal. She had moved to Westminster Place from States View subdivision six years ago after developers started

cutting down trees and said the looming threat of losing her trees has caused her to move into a rental home. Now, she says she has had to move again.

“We’re living in Plantation Springs now because we just don’t know what’s going to happen,” she said. “They’re going take two trees from every household and our afternoon shade will be gone.

“They’re even taking out saplings that were planted to replace mature trees that were at least 50 years old. This is going to happen all over TVA’s seven state area.”

As of last week, Sherwood and Pinn had been joined by nine more To page A-3

HPUD nominees to Burchett

By Sandra Clark Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett will make an appointment to the three-member board of the Hallsdale Powell Utility District, possibly this month.

The HPUD board approved three nominees for Burchett at last week’s meeting.

The four-year term of board chair Jim Hill is up.

Commissioners’ first choice is Jim Hill for reappointment. A real estate Jim Hill broker with Southland Properties, Hill has been on the utility board since 1974.

Kim Sepesi, who works for Rural/Metro and currently serves on the Knox County Board of Education, was the second choice, followed by former commissioner Bill Poston, who served two terms when Kim Sepesi Tommy Schumpert was mayor. He was replaced by Kevin Julian six years ago.

General counsel Bud Gilbert outlined the appointment process and said nominees must be a resident of the HPUD service area or a customer of the utility. Burchett can pick one of the nominees or

reject the list, asking for more choices.

HPUD saw an activity uptick in July, setting 32 water meters and inspecting 22 sewer hookups. HPUD treated 257.4 million gallons of water and 180.2 million gallons of wastewater.

For the first Bill Poston time in a long time, commissioners had no pay requests to approve. “There is no major construction underway,” said president/CEO Darren Cardwell. “We’ve wrapped up our (capital) projects.”

Later, Cardwell said he wants to “take a breather” to look at where to go next on capital projects. “We try to keep a rolling five-year capital plan,” he said. That plan shows $20 million for water projects and $40 million for sewer, but locations have not been selected for line upgrades.

Texas Valley: In response to a question, Cardwell said the water line on Texas Valley Road broke on Aug. 14 and was fi xed later that day. Customers up the line were without service during the outage. “It’s an older line, and we’ve reduced the pressure on that line,” he said. The line is not slated for replacement at this time.

Godspeed, Ed

Edgar J. “Ed” House died last week. Veteran educator, Korean War vet, UT football fan, great guy. He was 88.

Jake Mabe MY TWO CENTS Ed taught at Gibbs High and was yearbook sponsor for 23 of those years.

“I worked under him on the yearbook staff,” says Gibbs High principal Lynn Hill, “and I mowed his grass at one time.

He would come Ed House to our endof-the-year luncheons or Christmas dinners and was sharp as a tack.”

Halls Middle assistant principal Jay Wormsley, who graduated from Gibbs in 1980, said Mr. House helped him get in teaching, literally.

“He took me over (to UT) to meet with Dr. Carl Murphy, who approved the classes I had taken toward my bachelor’s degree and signed off on them for the education program. Dr. Murphy died two weeks later. When I turned

my paperwork in, they told me, ‘This is in Dr. Murphy’s handwriting and it stands approved.’ I always felt like I owed Mr. House for that.

“And I sat with him at UT football games for five years.”

Mr. House also inspired him, “because of the way he taught his classes and the way he could relate to people.”

“He was a great guy and a great teacher,” says Nathan Henry, a 1978 graduate who also served as yearbook editor. “But he was also a good friend to the students as well.

There’s a fine line between being a teacher and a friend and he knew where it was.”

Henry’s brother and sister had also been yearbook editors at Gibbs.

“It wasn’t because it was a family thing or anything.

It was an interest our family took and Mr. House was good at grooming people to do the task in the way it needed to be done.”

Ed was forever proud that he saw the classic mid1950s clash between UT and Georgia Tech. He told me about the time he met Elvis Presley at the Southern Railway station. He ate dinner at Ramsey’s Restaurant just about every week for a lot of years. He loved politics and always worked hard for his longtime pal Wanda Moody. He served as treasurer for a lot of candidates

Hembree to walk for Lions Fountain City Lions Club member and Broadway Barber Shop owner Roy Hembree plans to hold a walk-athon Sunday, Sept. 2, in Fountain City Park.

He walked 75 laps on his 75th birthday last year to raise money for the Lions’ White Roy Hembree C a n e D a y .

He’s planning to do it again this year (76 laps this time?) or if the weather’s bad he’ll do so the next clear Sunday.

Anyone who wants to join him or donate is welcome to do so. Roy’s number is 687-0499. because he knew the rules better than anyone else.

He was loyal to his friends, loved his cats and never met a stranger.

After we sat down for an interview in 2004, I quoted Wormsley as saying Mr. House was a legend who didn’t know he was a legend.

That just about pegs it.

Godspeed, Ed. You’ll be Clayton Sharp and Myron Clarke cut up the watermelon at the annual meeting of the Gibbs DP Club at Gibbs Ruritan Park on Aug. 15. It’s held in memory of Jesse Butcher and Ronnie Merritt. missed.

plaintiffs, and that number could grow in the coming weeks, based on the number of people from across the state who turned out for last week’s meeting. Many of them have been in contact with tree advocate Larry Silverstein, who has battled TVA and the Knoxville Utilities Board clear-cutting policies for years.

Gayle and Ben Cherry, who lost a swimming pool and a bedroom to a mudslide after TVA clear-cut a hillside above their home in Nashville’s Forest Hills subdivision, also spoke to the board.

“They clear-cut in 2009, and the 2010 floods were made so much worse by the tire tracks of the heavy machinery going up the hill.

It ruined our neighborhood,” Gayle Cherry said.

Dr. Roger Jackson, a retired Nashville physician who lives in the Green Hills area, urged the board to abandon clear-cutting and return to the less-draconian policy of selective tree management in urban areas.

“Two Realtors told me my house has decreased in value $50,000 in the last two weeks,” he said,

mentioning a tiny sapling TVA contractors marked for removal because there were power lines some 80 feet above it. When he tried to persuade them to leave it there, his pleas were ignored, he said.

“They told me it’s cheaper to cut it now rather than wait until it’s grown….

That little tree in 100 years couldn’t have damaged the power line.”

“This is not coming from FERC (the Federal Energy Regulation Commission).

This is coming from this boardroom. You people are issuing the marching orders.”

government TVA board needs members TVA’s board of directors, already short by three, is about to lose two more members and, on last Thursday, learned of the resignation of CEO Tom Kilgore.

It’s enough to make one ask, “Who’s in charge?”

By law, the board has nine directors but only six now serve. On May 18, the terms of directors Bishop William Graves of Memphis and Marilyn Brown of Atlanta expired. By law, they can continue on the board only to the end of the current session of Congress, likely to go on to December with October off for campaigning.

If Graves and Brown leave the board, only four directors will remain.

That’s not enough to make a quorum to conduct TVA business.

The law states the board can exercise those powers necessary to assure continuity of operations along the lines established when a quorum existed, but may not direct TVA into new areas, embark on new programs or change TVA’s existing direction, according to Travis Brickey, TVA spokesperson.

President Obama nominated Peter Mahurin of Bowling Green, Ky., in February 2012 for a term expiring May 18, 2016, but the Senate has not scheduled hearings on his nomination.

With the national election less than 80 days off and the Senate likely to meet for only four or five weeks starting Sept. 10, it becomes much less likely that anyone would be confirmed unless action occurs in the lameduck session of Congress in November or December.

Mahurin comes from the same Kentucky city as conservative Sen. Rand Paul. He heads up the Hilliard Lyons brokerage office there and is a consistent donor to Democratic candidates and causes. Very little else is known about him.

If Obama wins reelection, then his nominees may have a reasonable chance of being confirmed before the end of this year.

If Romney wins, then Republican senators may wish to delay any confirmations until Romney takes office on Jan. 20, 2013, and nominates his own people to the TVA board. However, it might be several months before a President Romney would get around to filling vacancies on the TVA board when he has higher profile

Victor Ashe

positions to fill first.

Either Obama or Romney will have five vacancies to fill.

Current board members who continue are Bill Sansom of Knoxville, the board chair whose term goes to May 18, 2014; Barbara Haskew of Chattanooga also serves until May 18, 2014. Richard Howorth, a former mayor of Oxford, Miss., serves until May 18, 2015, while Neil McBride of Oak Ridge serves until May 18, 2013.

■ The current controversy in Knox county government over the mayor’s financial disclosures and one commissioner’s arrest on Sharp’s Ridge has been a break for city government, which has escaped any serious scrutiny as the media concentrates on more current and polemical issues in the county.

City government is going almost unnoticed in the current climate. The same happened when Mike Ragsdale was county mayor and controversy developed over expenses and personnel.

■ Tie vote: The City Council on Aug. 7 had one of its rare tie votes with an amendment to the proposed city charter pension changes, and Mayor Rogero cast her first vote in favor of the amendment which passed 5-4.

With Mark Campen absent, the remaining council members split 4-4 with Stair, Grieve, Wallace and Della Volpe on one side and Saunders, Palmer, Brown and Pavlis on the other. Rogero voted with Saunders as she broke the tie vote. In 16 years presiding over council, I only got to vote twice to break a tie vote. It seldom happens.

Otherwise, the mayor does not vote but presides at council.

■ Today (Aug. 20) at 10 a.m., Mayor Rogero will cut the ribbon on the new fence at Blount Mansion which the city built for $40,000.

Constructed under the able leadership of David Brace, the fence really dresses up the historic site and rids the area of the previous ugly chain-link fence.

■ Anita Cash retires from the city after 32 years.

More on her next week.

Anders or Norman for top job Two guys I like are about to tangle. It’s not a death match, but there could be sprinkles of blood on the floor.

Mike Hammond is stepping down as chair of Knox County Commission, termlimiting himself in the chair, although he will continue to serve as an at-large commissioner.

Vice chair Brad Anders wants to step up, but others are pushing Tony Norman.

As often happens at commission, the vote could be close going into the meeting and unanimous at the end.

Commissioners can sense the wind’s direction, and nobody wants to be on the losing side.

Anders told me he’s running. And he sunshined a dinner meeting with Sam McKenzie to discuss the Beck Center. Hmmm.

Norman said Friday he’s “available if that is the will of the commission.” He said he’s not meeting with people or lobbying.

So who will win?

Let’s look at the public record to detect differences and then predict how colleagues will line up.

Sandra Clark

Anders usually votes with the Chamber, the school board, the Sheriff’s Office and developers. From Karns, he’s considered “a county guy.”

Norman vigorously opposed the school board’s budget. He championed restrictions on hillside development. He’s currently bugging the Chamber about how it spends its county appropriation, and he’s considered “a city guy.”

“You know where I stand,” said Norman, “and I think my views represent the majority of Knox County. Others, well, may represent special interests.”

Ouch!

Just a few years ago, nobody would take on the Sheriff’s Office, much less when it was allied with the real estate industry and the Chamber.

Now, though, Norman has a clear shot at winning.

Here’s how.

The winner needs six votes.

Norman and Larry Smith recently spoke fondly of Jeff Ownby while others were silent.

If Norman adds Smith and Ownby to his own vote, along with Dave Wright, Amy Broyles and Sam McKenzie, then Norman wins.

Anders needs to hold the “county guys” like Wright and Smith to add to his own vote and the likely votes of Richard Briggs and Hammond. This leaves Mike Brown in his usual role of “swing” vote.

Anders could win without Smith and Wright if he gained Brown, Broyles and McKenzie – hence, his sudden interest in the Beck Center, which was stripped of its county funding by Mayor Burchett.

Oh, yeah. Do not overlook the Burchett factor.

The mayor might dust off his robo-call machine and start campaigning for Tony.

He might stay neutral, but I don’t see him for Anders.

GOSSIP AND LIES ■ Richard Briggs may run against state Sen. Stacey Campfield in 2014, and the retired Army colonel, heart surgeon and county commissioner could win.

■ His candidacy will certainly boost the real estate market out west as sane citizens move into the district to oust Campfield.

Gibson promoted Nine-year Knox County Community Development employee Rebecca Gibson has been appointed director of the department by Mayor Tim Burchett.

The former comm u n i t y development director, Grant Gibson Rosenberg, recently left Knox County government.

The Community Development Department oversees and coordinates grants and grant-related projects ranging from defined services contracts to Homeland Security and Housing and Urban Development.

Rogero is bright spot for state Democrats Here’s the good news for Democrats: Truman Day was not held in a phone booth.

Betty Bean But they probably already know that, since a crowd of more than 300 showed up at The Foundry on a rainy night to support their party and their candidates, and to celebrate the most impressive triumph the party has had lately – Mayor Madeline Rogero.

Nobody noticed that Knoxville city elections are nonpartisan, which was fair, since Rogero not only fended off a full-frontal Republican attack in the primary from candidate Ivan Harmon (complete with allegations that she was a United Nations plant intent on subjecting the city to the evil goals of Agenda 21), but also a big money runoff challenge from sort-of Democrat Mark Padgett (to whom the Agenda 21-ers migrated after the primary and who was last seen supporting Zach Wamp’s kid for Congress).

Lawyer Anne McKinney got the crowd going by reprising her Front Page Follies solo “I am Mayor” (a parody of Helen Reddy’s feminist anthem “I am Woman”). Rogero stood and owned the room. It didn’t hurt that she’s shown an

Madeline Rogero at the Truman Day Dinner, with Knox County Democratic Party chair Gloria Johnson and state party chair Chip Forrester. Photo by Betty Bean abundance of muscle and moxie her first year in office by actions like tackling the city’s pension problem – something her predecessor advocated but never attempted. She was confident, funny and in charge.

She was followed by state party chair Chip Forrester, who was, unfortunately, none of the above. And no wonder – he’s taken a whipping across the state since a guy named Mark Clayton snagged the party’s nomination for U.S. Senate because he got top billing on a ticket of little-known candidates listed in alphabetical order in the primary. The fourth place finisher rubbed salt into Forrester’s wounds by suing him in federal court for letting Clayton – who posed for a campaign video with a bunch of gunslingers

who looked like they were fi xing to rob the mail train and who runs around Nashville with Stacey Campfield talking about gay people – onto the ballot.

The plaintiff is Larry Crim, and he figures he would have had the top spot but for the poseur Clayton.

Crim accused Forrester of allowing Clayton to stay in the catbird seat to siphon votes off the other candidates and boost the chances of TV performer Park Overall, who evidently didn’t have a chance because her last name starts with an O. Before Forrester introduced the row of Democratic candidates who were patiently waiting on the sidelines, he did a Scarlett O’Hara-esque speech blasting Clayton for being into hate and conspiracy theo-

ries and pledging, “We will never put you in this position again.”

It was an uncomfortable moment, but nobody threw anything.

After the candidates were introduced, Rogero stood up and took over again.

“If we don’t fund them, they can’t run a campaign that is credible,” said the voice of experience. “You all need to dig deep. As Democrats, if we don’t fund campaigns, we can’t win campaigns. It’s a night and day difference.”

Checkbooks came out all over the room.

If national Democrats are looking for a tonic for their downtrodden Red State faithful, they could do a lot worse than invite Madeline Rogero to Charlotte and let her show them how it’s done.

3-4 defense is fool’s gold TALES OF TENNESSEE | Marvin West

A

coach who might know says the Tennessee switch to a 3-4 base defense is fool’s gold.

It is not magic. It may or may not pressure quarterbacks, disrupt offenses, nail runners for losses, lead to multiple turnovers and dictate the flow of games.

The coach, in perfect step with fan forums and call-in radio shows, asked to remain anonymous.

The coach said of course defensive alignments matter, but how you line up is no more than third in the formula for winning. First is talent. Second is execution. “If history books are correct, the gentleman who made Tennessee football famous, Neyland or Nayland, beat a lot of butts with an antiquated offensive alignment,� said the coach. “I have heard that his teams

ran the single-wing with absolute precision. He could have told opponents he was coming off tackle, pointed to the point of attack, and they couldn’t have stopped it.�

This coach, not that coach, finds no fault with the three-man defensive front. Jolly good idea if you have the players to play it.

Big man in the middle is critical.

Smart reads necessary in gap control. Several really good linebackers make a major difference. Cover corners can save your job.

Think in terms of speed, size, strength, intelligence, action, reaction and effort. Then, blitz or do whatever you do without too many big, bad blunders.

Derek Dooley’s decision to bring in Sal Sunseri and copy at least some of Alabama’s 3-4 scheme was the giant move to

A note from God CROSS CURRENTS | Lynn Hutton Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

(Matthew 11:28-30 NIV) When in doubt, tell the truth. (“Hazel’s Law,� Hazel Sherwood)

half-correct Tennessee’s losing trend. There was also a need for Jay Graham.

The 3-4 will go down as a great move if it works. It will also make news if it doesn’t.

I am reminded of the time Phillip Fulmer bet the farm on a new offensive coordinator. That good doctor had the proper license, looked sharp, spoke wisely of modern medicine but did not produce desired results. The cure simply did not take. The patient regressed. The patient died.

Friends still mourn.

Sunseri is qualified. He knows plenty about the 3-4 after coaching linebackers for Nick Saban.

He also knows the 4-3 from seven years of NFL defensive line work.

He seems to understand young people. He appears to be a natural motivator. Good bet.

Best of all, Sal is a flame-thrower who believes in the aggressive defensive philosophy Dooley decided he wants. It starts with trying to strangle quarterbacks and pressing receivers at the line of scrimmage. That does involve risks.

Believe the outside perspective.

What happens against North Carolina State on Aug. 31 in Atlanta and against Florida on Sept. 15

is not an unusual circumstance.

Yesterday, however, I came across a small sticky note with seven words written on it. I remembered that conversation, knew that it had been taken care of, and I started to throw the paper away. But then I saw eight words, written at a different angle, up the side. “Never take the burden I can help you,� it said.

No punctuation. None. (If any of my former English teachers are reading this, let me assure you that I know a semi-colon or a period should be there to separate those two main clauses. I know that.)

UT defensive coordinator Sal Sunseri talks to reporters at the indoor practice facility. Photo by Associated Press at Neyland Stadium will depend more on how the Vols compare in talent, effort and execution than on alignment.

Hope the offense, aided by the new running attack, can carry both occasions. Do not expect defensive performance to be flawless. Everybody is still learning. No matter how many times coaches explain assignments, no matter how much video linebackers study, there is still the minor matter of doing it under duress.

Game speed is frightening if you must pause to ponder.

Don’t just wait and watch. Contribute something. Cross your fingers and repeat after me, 3-4, 3-4, 3-4. Find three and four-leaf clovers. Throw three-fourths of a pinch of salt over your left shoulder in the general direction of Raleigh.

Derek, Sal and several of us need this defensive stuff to turn into real gold, heavy, rock solid.

Just those eight words.

In my handwriting.

I am being absolutely honest when I say this: I have no memory of writing those words, no idea when or why I wrote them, or what they meant to me in that moment. Was it something a friend had said to me? A colleague? My supervisor?

No clue.

I only know that when I read them, it felt as if God were speaking directly to my heart.

It was a message from the universe.

It was oddly reassuring on a day that had its ups and downs.

As I pondered it through the

day, I considered the fact that the note’s advice seems to run counter to Jesus’ admonition to take his yoke onto our own shoulders.

It was then, and only then, that I realized the cryptic words on the paper were simply another rendering of that same idea. Jesus tells us in Matthew’s Gospel to take his yoke upon ourselves, and at the same time tells me (in my own handwriting!) to let him help me carry my burden.

When we are yoked with him, he is there beside us, to share the work, to lighten the load, to “take the burden.�

here are times, I suspect, in the life of every writer when he or she can do nothing except tell the truth. I am not sure what this story means. I wonder about that. You probably will wonder, too.

I only know that it is true.

There are almost always stacks of paper on my desk at work. There are vouchers, folders, notes to myself, notes to others, reminders, scrap paper, informational bulletins to be handed out to volunteers, etc., etc. There are notes attached to my computer screen, reminders of what password goes with what program (carefully encoded, of course), checking account balances, and notes to myself about something I need to discuss with tomorrow’s team leader.

So finding a scrap of paper with obscure notes on it

UT offers urban forestry concentration The Department of Forestry, Wildlife and Fisheries in UT’s College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources is offering a new concentration in urban forestry. The urban forestry concentration is an interdisciplinary program emphasizing forestry, arboriculture, horticulture, urban forest management and urban wildlife. “Urban forestry is a field that is really growing in demand,� says Dr. Sharon JeanPhilippe, coordinator of the urban forestry concentration. “Our graduates can find careers as community foresters, urban forestry supervisors and urban forestry instructors, among other areas. We are excited to offer this new concentration, and we believe our students will face a very bright future.�

Coffee Break with

ence on your life and why?

My husband has taught me so much that I don’t know where to begin. He is kind, funny, disciplined, responsible, frugal, focused and never meets a stranger. Students who had him as a teacher adore him. He is a wonderful role model!

I still can’t quite get the hang of …

Yikes! This could be a long list, but I’m going to go with cooking. I’m a horrible cook!

What is the best present you ever received in a box?

Kathy Duggan

For Christmas one year my parents gave me a pair of Dingo boots that I wore just about every day for two or three years. I loved those boots!

What is the best advice your mother ever gave you?

This week, we’re launching a new feature in this edition of the Shopper-News called Coffee Break. It’s a fun way to get to know your friends and neighbors.

Who better to start with than the current Halls Woman of the Year, Adrian Burnett principal Kathy Duggan.

Kathy has been at Adrian Burnett for eight years. She has chaired the Halls B&P’s annual prayer breakfast for the last several years.

Sit back, pour yourself a cup of Joe and get to know Kathy Duggan.

“Not everyone is going to like you. About half will like you and half won’t.” – Pat Owens

What is your social media of choice?

Texting.

What is the worst job you have ever had?

I was a secretary in a law office for a brief time before I started teaching. It wasn’t my thing, and everyone else seemed so capable and not particularly helpful or empathetic to the fact that I was struggling. It helped me know how not to act with students in my classroom.

What is your favorite quote from TV or a movie?

From “A Few Good Men”: Lt. Weinberg: “Why do you like them so much?”

Galloway: “Because they stand on a wall. And they say nothing’s going to hurt you tonight. Not on my watch. ”

What was your favorite Saturday morning cartoon and why?

What are you guilty of?

“ The Flintsones.” Fred epitomized the way so many people feel deep down inside. I loved that he could be an idiot, but people still loved him. Kind of like the Barney Fife of the cartoon world.

Sitting on the couch wasting time playing Words With Friends and ‘Solitaire.

What is your favorite material possession?

The shabby old porch swing on the back of my house.

I love to sit out there and read or just look at the flower garden.

What irritates you?

What are you reading currently? “ ‘Mockingjay’ by Suzanne Collins.

What was your most embarrassing moment?

How do I choose just one? It might be the time that (superintendent) Dr. (Jim) McIntyre showed up for a surprise visit to our school on Wild, Wild, West Day and I was dressed in full cowgirl garb with a fake, curly mustache painted on. He laughed, but I was mortified.

What are the top three things on your bucket list?

1. Win the war against negative thinking.

2. Teach every child at Adrian Burnett to love reading.

3. Visit every national park in the United States.

What is one word others often use to describe you and why?

I think most people would say that I’m determined, because I don’t give up easily and I’m always up for a new challenge.

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

When people give up before they even try or don’t try again because they tried once and failed. I hate negative thinking. It sets us up for failure before we even start.

Sometimes I am so intense that I can intimidate people. I’d like to have a more calming effect. I’m working on this.

What’s one place in Halls or Powell or Fountain City that everyone should visit?

What is your passion?

What is your greatest fear?

Children! They can be happy in the most horrible situations. We learn so much from them about how we’re supposed to live.

I’m terrified when I think about how awful it will be for some of our students if they don’t get a good education. I worry about them 24/7.

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

If you could do one impulsive thing, what would it be?

Adrian Burnett Elementary School! Duh!

Abraham Lincoln. During one of the most horrific times in United States history he was able to find words to motivate and inspire people. He is my hero.

Other than your parents, who has had the biggest influ-

I wish I wasn’t too chicken to ride a motorcycle. I think they’re so cool! I would love to ride cross-country in back of my husband. Instead, I just might take up horseback riding.

Have a friend or neighbor you think we should get to know? Nominate them for Coffee Break by emailing Jake Mabe at JakeMabe1@aol.com or calling 922-4136.

Please provide contact info if you can.

Shopper News Presents Miracle Makers

Making great leaders

By Sandra Clark

A

utumn Cyprès can use $10 words, but prefers to talk in the vernacular. “I’ve taken 14 guns, nine loaded, and been shot once,” she says. “I’ve desegregated a school, put in a dual language school and dealt with unions.

I’ve helped 12 kids get scholarships and had 16 kids who went on to become teachers themselves.”

This woman knows how to be a principal.

At UT for three years as founding director of the Center for Educational Leadership, her comrade, colleague and sister-in-arms is Betty Sue Sparks, longtime educator who retired as supervisor of human resources for Knox County Schools.

Together, Cyprès and Sparks oversee the Leadership Academy, charged with developing outstanding principals for Knox County Schools. (The Center does more than work for KCS, but that’s another story.)

‘We click from ed t get- he go’

It’s funny to hear the Leadership Academy Fellows referred to as “McIntyre’s pets,” as in “pretty soon all the principals will be McIntyre’s pets.” Appointing principals is the superintendent’s prerogative, and Knox County has had some mighty good principals and some others.

Superintendent Dr. Jim McIntyre identified leadership development as a priority upon his arrival here. He worked with Cornerstone Foundation to secure funding for the Leadership Academy, now in its third year. Cyprès said the fellows are selected in a “very rigorous process over two months.”

She calls the selection process “truly fair,” without regard to gender, ethnicity or ability to pay. All fellows are paid as assistant principals and are assigned to a mentor principal in a local school where they work four days a week. Additionally, they attend classes and develop a project at their school in which each identifies a problem and implements a solution.

“We’re offering a program for prac-

She was principal at Knoxville Adaptive Education Center, Mooreland Heights Elementary School, Cedar Bluff Intermediate School and Farragut Primary School. She also served as an elementary supervisor and spent eight years as director of human resources for Knox County Schools.

Now retired, she serves as Cornerstone principal-in-residence with the Center for Educational Leadership at UT.

In 2011, she was awarded the William J. Davis award for her theory concerning school politics and the hiring procedures of principals. She is the 50th president of The University Council for Educational Administration.

NEWS FROM CONSTRUCTION PLUS

Start to finish in

49 Days Final

By Sandra Clark

‘A true design/build/fast track project’ “This crisis stabilization unit was built in 49 days. The architect and engineers worked with our subcontractors in the truest sense of fast tracking. Almost every element was prefabricated to some degree to allow the project to move Sandy Loy forward without delays. Working 16 hour days and seven day weeks, the project was 100 percent complete with all inspections passed on July 27 after starting on June 8.

“The facility was built fast, but still has all the bells and whistles the client needs including VRF HVAC systems allowing each patient room to have total control of the temperature.

“The site was surrounded by existing health facilities which meant interaction of electrical and storm water systems. Permeable concrete was used to allow the project to pass storm water requirements.”

– Sandy Loy

When the state announced the closure of Lakeshore Mental Health Institute, law enforcement personnel across East Tennessee were perplexed. Where would they take those individuals who required short-term housing but did not need to go to jail?

Among other options, the state contracted with Cherokee Health Systems to build a 16-bed facility in Morristown. And Cherokee called Sandy Loy at Construction Plus.

“We needed to get the facility built in two months,” said Loy. “I worked a best case schedule that came out to 49 days. … I used every single construction management trick I know on this one project. The subcontractors were outstanding and we were thrilled to finish in 49 days.”

He said subcontractors worked closely in the 4,500 square feet space.

Some of the work, such as wall panels, was done offsite and installed. “We had a plumber putting together pipes out in the parking lot.

“Everyone had input into the original schedule, and I told them, ‘If you’re going to be on the team, help us get to the end zone.’ We had people crawling over each other. It was fun, really.”

The key was the master schedule.

Sandy designed a comprehensive list of jobs that had to be finished before another could start. He updated the schedule every 48 hours and shared it with subcontractors, so each knew when to show up.

There was little wasted time.

The building was constructed so that a second

floor can be added. Permeable concrete was used to reduce run-off. Individual heat and air systems reduced ductwork.

The project was built within the requirements of the city’s anti-noise ordinance and was inspected by both local and state officials. All within 49 days.

Best of all, the client was pleased with the result.

Jeff Howard of Cherokee Health Systems, said, “Sandy and his team were great.

They worked well with our staff, architects and sub-contractors to build a high-quality building at a reasonable cost.

“In addition to the value received by this experienced and personable

team, we got great, timely results and CPI’s integrity and creativity were never in question. I highly recommend CPI.” And Sandy Loy summed it up: “Bricks and mortar don’t know the difference. (Meeting customer expectations) is about getting people in a flow that works. It’s about getting the players lined up in the right order.

“Commercial construction companies can’t afford to keep a large staff on the payroll. Everybody has slimmed down, and most use subcontractors. Hiring a construction manager is the only way that works in today’s economy. This project really spoke to that.”

At KCDC, we are committed to protecting the environment and the health of our residents through green iniNance tiatives.

With every new KCDC property and renovation, affordable housing in Knoxville and Knox County is “going green.”

All five buildings of the Eastport project, includ-

LEED Platinum certification is the highest level given by the USGBC to housing initiatives that excel in green homebuilding and design. Green building includes the use of renewable building materials; energy-efficient lighting and appliances; water conservation; high-efficiency HVAC,

plumbing and irrigation systems; surface water management; and construction waste management. Though this project is not the first time KCDC has placed an emphasis on sustainability and efficiency, this is the first time we’ve achieved LEED certification status.

Along with our project partners, Partners Development, BarberMcMurry Architects, Sanders Pace Architecture and Denark Construction, we completed the rigorous qualification progress, which began in the conceptual

designs for the property and carried through to the completion of the project with a thorough site evaluation.

Our teamwork paid off with spectacular results.

We have not only created a healthier living environment for our residents, we will decrease our longterm maintenance costs and provide cost savings through energy and water conservation.

Our commitment to green building is ongoing, and this award truly showcases that dedication.

Jessica Motes is from Ripley, W. Va., and will be teaching social studies along with coaching varsity girls soccer at Temple High School.

Christina Pack comes to Temple from Enterprise, Ala., where she grew up and gained a passion for teaching.

She will teach both junior high and high school math.

Parents, teachers and students alike anticipate this being a year of highlights in the life of Temple Baptist Academy.

David Whitaker is principal of Temple Baptist Academy.

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

Fort Sanders opens new center for digestive health Getting tested for digestive disorders may not be fun in anyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book, but at the new Fort Sanders Center for Digestive Health, these procedures are as quick, comfortable and painless as possible.

The Fort Sanders Center for Digestive Health is now open at 1819 Clinch Ave. in Knoxville. Adjacent to Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center, the beautiful 6,000-squarefoot outpatient Center is equipped with new state-of-the-art technology to diagnose and treat a wide range of digestive disorders.

The Center for Digestive Health specializes in gastrointestinal and colon cancer screenings. The facility is all digital, with high deďŹ nition, wider ďŹ eld of vision scopes that make diagnosis quicker and more accurate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The HD images are so much crisper and allow us to visualize details in the colon better and see lesions more clearly,â&#x20AC;? explains gastroenterologist Dr. Robert Pollack. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like the difference between analog and high-def TV â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it makes a huge impact.â&#x20AC;?

In addition to the new technology, patients and families also enjoy the Centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spacious waiting room with beautiful mountain views. And the whole layout is designed with efďŹ ciency and comfort in mind. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a huge improvement in efďŹ ciency and ďŹ&#x201A;ow,â&#x20AC;? says Center manager Kelly Rogers, RN. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one-stop shopping for patients and their families. Everything is

vice to patients having bronchoscopies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The staff and physicians are excited for people to experience the expanded GI facilities at Fort Sanders Regional,â&#x20AC;? says Fort Sanders gastroenterologist Dr. Jeffrey Brown. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The upgrades and updates have enhanced the experience for patients.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a giant step forward,â&#x20AC;? agrees Dr. Pollack. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Patients will still have the same excellent GI care theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always received at Fort Sanders, but now it will be a totally new experience.â&#x20AC;?

The new outpatient Fort Sanders Center for Digestive Health is designed to maximize patient comfort and convenience.

The spacious family waiting room of the Fort Sanders Center for Digestive Health features mountain views.

conveniently located together in one spot.â&#x20AC;?

The Center for Digestive Health includes three GI procedure rooms, as well as an eight-bay preprocedure area and six-bay recovery suite. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And when a procedure is complete, physicians meet with families in one of our private conference rooms,â&#x20AC;? says Rogers.

After testing, patients go home

When â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Plop Plop Fizz Fizzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough

Everyone has occasional heartburn, bloating, diarrhea or constipation. But when those symptoms persist, they may be signs of signiďŹ cant digestive disease. Digestive diseases affect an estimated 70 million people in the United States each year, according to the National Institutes of Health.

Two digestive diseases that are common in the United States are colon cancer and GERD, gastroesophageal reďŹ&#x201A;ux disease. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These two are among the most important to screen patients for,â&#x20AC;? says Fort Sanders gastroenterologist Dr. Muhammed Iqbal.

Colonoscopy guidelines

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends colonoscopy screening every 10 years, beginning at age 50 through age 75, as a way to prevent colorectal cancer.

People at higher risk of developing colorectal cancer should begin screening at a younger age and be screened more frequently. Check with your physician about when to have a colonoscopy if you have a family history of colorectal disease.

The previous Fort Sanders Endoscopy Lab, located inside Fort Sanders Regional, will remain open, but will now focus on high risk gastrointestinal inpatient and outpatient procedures. The lab will continue to provide ser-

Colon Cancer â&#x20AC;&#x201C; screening is critical

Although itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s declining, colon cancer is still the second leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Colon cancer deaths have decreased because there is effective screening and better treatments,â&#x20AC;?

Dr. Iqbal explains.

The gold standard for screening for colon cancer is a colonoscopy, a simple procedure that allows a physician to see inside a patientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s colon and rectum. The test is offered at the new Fort Sanders Center for

pletely and safely removed during colonoscopy, therefore preventing cancer,â&#x20AC;? says Dr. Iqbal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Colonoscopy saves lives.â&#x20AC;?

Colonoscopy screening is recommended for everyone at age 50, and every 10 years after that if the test is normal. For people with family history of colon cancer, or patients who have had cancer themselves, earlier and more frequent screening is recommended.

Digestive Health located on Clinch Avenue in Knoxville.

While the patient is under mild sedation, the physician inserts a thin, flexible, lighted tube into the rectum and colon. The tube uses air to temporarily inflate the colon, while the camera relays an image to a nearby computer screen.

If there are any precancerous lesions called polyps in the intestine, they can be removed during the test. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Precancerous polyps can be com-

GERD â&#x20AC;&#x201C; There IS relief The second most common digestive test is GERD screening. â&#x20AC;&#x153;GERD is gastroesophageal reflux disease,â&#x20AC;? says Dr. Iqbal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when the stomach contents back up into esophagus.â&#x20AC;?

GERD doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t usually indicate a problem if it only occurs occasionally. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s persistent, if you have difficulty swallowing or if you have weight loss, it needs to be evaluated,â&#x20AC;? advises Dr. Iqbal.

GERD can sometimes be a symptom of other conditions such as asthma, esophageal cancer

or a precancerous condition called Barrettâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s esophagus. Men, especially Caucasian men, develop Barrettâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s esophagus more often than other groups. This is when acid from the stomach backs up into the esophagus, causing damage.

Testing for GERD is done with an endoscope, a thin, flexible tube inserted down the mouth while the patient is under sedation. The tube has a small camera on it, giving the physician a view of the esophagus on a computer screen.

Iqbal said any recurring

heartburn, belly pain, bloody stools or black stools and unexplained weight loss should be evaluated by a physician. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These are common problems that can often be treated very easily and effectively,â&#x20AC;? states Dr. Iqbal.
