By Jake Mabe North Knox Vocational School carpentry teacher Jeff McMurray says the recent donation by The Home Depot and O.G. Hughes and Sons Inc. totaling $22,500 for new tools and a truck tool bed that will be shared by Knox County Schools’ Career and Education construction classes will be a boon for his carpentry classes. “The CTE truck will go from school to school for use by the construction industry classes for a week or two (each). It will allow our kids to use brand new, up-to-date, stateof-the-art tools.” McMurray teaches construction core, which is basically a beginner class that introduces students to safety and using hand and power tools, as well as Carpentry I. In the latter class, McMurray says, “we start out with wood building materials, fasteners, foundations (and go to) concrete, floor, window and roof framing, and end with windows and doors.” The core class makes wooden tool boxes, birdhouses, boards for

Fed bucks feed county government By Larry Van Guilder For fiscal year 2011, Knox County’s budget topped $647 million. According to the county’s chief financial officer, the federal government supplied about 8.5 percent of that amount. John Troyer says the federal contribution to the county last fiscal year was about $55 million, with roughly $41 million going to schools and another $14 million dollars spread around various county departments. With budgetcutting running at a fever pitch in Washington, what do county residents stand to lose if the federal well runs dry? Grant Rosenberg heads Community Development for the county. Rosenberg’s department funds local grant programs through two sources of federal money, Housing and Urban Development (HUD), and Community Development Block Grants (CDBG). HUD funds were reduced by 12 percent this

program year, and CDBG were cut more than 16 percent. Rosenberg anticipates more cuts next year in the range of 10-15 percent. The federal money funds a laundry list of programs and services, including money for renovating or building housing for seniors and low to moderate income families. Currently, Rosenberg says, money has been set aside to replace a roof at the YWCA and renovate the Pleasant Tree apartments managed by Child and Family Tennessee. Other recipients include the Volunteer Ministry Center dental clinic, the Helen Ross McNabb Center and the Public Defender Community Law Office. Rosenberg notes that the housing programs provide an additional benefit. When the KnoxvilleKnox County Community Action Committee contracts for construction services, jobs are created or maintained.

Continuing cuts in federal funds will be felt across the board, but arguably hit housing hardest. “It limits affordable housing for seniors,” Rosenberg says, just as the baby boomer generation is hitting retirement age. The school budget is already strained, and the future looks grim enough without additional cuts in federal funds. The current budget includes a one-time boost of $8 million from the Education Jobs Program. The money primarily is used to fund teacher salaries and benefits. According to the line item detail in the school budget, $6.8 million of those funds are directly tied to teacher compensation. To maintain the same level of instruction next year would require an 8-cent property tax increase. The Knox County Health Department received nearly half of the $14 million disbursed to the “rest” of the county apart from schools. Dr. Martha Buchanan

manages a $24 million budget, and federal dollars supply about 25 percent of the department’s operating costs. Federal money goes to programs for “everything from TB to STDs to immunizations,” Buchanan says, but she expresses confidence in her department’s ability to carry on even if the spigot is turned off tomorrow. “We’ve got a great team at the health department,” she says, and it may need to “work smarter.” “Fortunately, we’ve had some ‘heads ups’ from our state partners (about possible cuts),” Buchanan adds, and if necessary the department will reorganize and restructure. Every department head in Knox County may not share Buchanan’s confidence, but her forward thinking outlook is a must. Federal funding of state and local programs is in a downward spiral and the bottom is nowhere in sight.

A-2 • SEPTEMBER 12, 2011 • HALLS/FOUNTAIN CITY SHOPPER-NEWS

How it was at the community park Ethel Shrader brought a slice of Halls history with her to Bel Air Grill last week. She and Peggy Arnold stopped by to tell tales of the early days of the Halls Comm u n i t y Park and the now defunct Halls Community Shrader Club. Ethel had with her a scrapbook of memor ie s: new spaper clippings, meeting records, fair ribbons, yellow ing Arnold reminders of what used to be. The minutes of the Jan. 29, 1970, meeting of the Halls Community Club’s board of directors says Ethel’s husband, the late Roy Shrader, was re-elected board chair. Long-timers might remember Roy for something else. He used to run the Exxon station that sat at the corner of Maynardville Highway and Cunnihgham Road across from where the Halls Women’s League Closet is today.

Jake Mabe

On this night, the board voted to let Roy spend 10 bucks “when needed for maintenance.” In today’s money, that’s $55.50. Ethel and Peggy swapped stories about spending much of their lives during those years at the community park. “Seems like we had two ball fields at first and then a third one for the older boys and that’s all we had,” Ethel says. Peggy chuckled and remembered the time a traveling women’s team came to the park and “beat the heck” out of the men. “That was the kind of entertainment we had back then,” Ethel says. The park couldn’t afford umpires back then. Peggy says her late husband, Charles, would “coach one game and umpire the next one.” Ethel and Roy’s eldest son, Stan, would sometimes umpire, too. “His pay was a hot dog after the game.” An undated letter in Eth-

el’s book says that Chambers Builders Inc. was the low bidder on a project to build the park’s clubhouse and swimming pool. Total cost was $105,000 (roughly $582,000 in today’s dollars). “I didn’t want that pool,” Peggy says. “I just gotta be honest with you. I thought it would be too much for us to handle.” Ethel says when her kids were little, “We lived at that ball park.” Peggy agreed, adding, “We’d be down there five nights a week. We did a little bit of everything.” They will never forget a kid named Meatball. He was a pitcher known for throwing a fit. If the umpire’s calls went against him, Ethel says, “he would boohoo.” Those who play and coach there today owe a great debt to that generation. “We did what we had to do at the time,” Peggy says. “It isn’t the same place as it was then.” All the hard work, all the sweat, all the nights cooking behind a grill, both say they did it for the kids. “That’s what it was all about,” Peggy says. “We wanted somewhere to go that kids could enjoy. We made a lot of good times at that park.”

Ethel nodded. “We just didn’t think about it. We went and did it.” ■

Remembering Kate

Ethel and Peggy also paused last week to remember Lois Katherine “Kate” Hutchison, who volunteered with them at the community park. She passed away Aug. 29. “Kate was one of the best people I’ve ever known,” Peggy says. “She would pick up kids who didn’t have a way to get to the ball park so they could play.” Mrs. Hutchison was a member of Salem Baptist Church, Eastern Star and Amalgamated Clothing Workers. She worked for Palm Beach for 44 years. She is preceded in death by her husband, H. Willard Hutchison; and parents Bessie and Marshal O. Stanton. Survived by sons and daughters-in-law Danny and Shelia Hutchison and Curtis and Darlene Hutchison; five grandchildren; 10 great-grandchildren; sister and brother-in-law, Betty Jo and Ralph Kline of Pensacola, Fla.; special niece and nephew, Glen and Margie Stanton; and special family members, Kathy and Ernie Smith.

Padgett pitches to Rogero crowd While the Democratic Women of Knoxville – a group that meets monthly to eat lunch and talk politics and plan charitable projects – can’t be considered the belly of the beast, it’s no secret that a heavy majority of these politically involved women are flat-out amped by the prospect of Madeline Rogero becoming this city’s first woman mayor.

It’s commission time in Tennessee! *Satire alert Mike Hammond is a triple-threat performer for the 11-member Knox County Commission squad: captain, quarterback and play-by-play announcer. His teammates recently chose him to captain the squad for a second consecutive year, and we caught up with him for a rundown on the players and the team’s prospects for this season. S-N: Mike, you’ve got a veteran squad. What’s the outlook for this season? MH: We’re solid at just about every position. I’m more comfortable with the pro-style meetings we’ve been running, and if everyone stays healthy we should have a winning record. S-N: What about the hurry-up offense? Some of commission’s most loyal fans, attorneys John King and Arthur Seymour Jr. to name just two, have complained that the five-minute rule is too strict. MH: Well, we can’t please everybody, and head referee Joe Jarret is quick to assess a delay of game penalty. S-N: Mike, we know you have a solid arm. How about some of the other skill positions? MH: At fullback we have Jeff Ownby, a sturdy athlete who only runs straight ahead. Jeff is coming off minor tonsil surgery, but he’s in good condition. Tony Norman at tailback runs downhill as well as anyone we’ve ever had at that position, and Brad Anders at wide receiver is always a threat to go long. S-N: Ed Shouse is another veteran player, Mike. Where does he fit in the scheme? MH: Ed is versatile enough to play just about anywhere. He’s most comfortable going over the middle to haul in a pass. S-N: We hear that Dave Wright is designing the team’s new uniforms. MH: Ha, ha! Yes, Dave does have a nice sartorial touch, but he’s a valuable player, as well. I’d like to see Dave run more north to south instead of east to east, but he has potential. S-N: Team speed is always a concern, Mike. How are you fixed in that area? MH: R. Larry Smith, Amy Broyles and Sam McKenzie give us plenty of speed and quickness. Larry’s footwork can bewilder fans and defenders, and Amy and Sam developed speed and toughness working out in the semipro city leagues. S-N: And up front? MH: Richard Briggs and Mike Brown anchor the line for us. Richard also doubles as team trainer. S-N: Mike, it seems like everyone from Texas to Maine is talking about expansion. What’s your take? MH: That’s a tough one. We shed eight members a couple of years ago because of declining attendance and mounting operating expenses. I know some fans would like to see us return to the 19-member teams, but the risk of injury rises as you add players. I don’t know that the current team could adjust to the rough play of a “Lumpy” Lambert or a Scott Moore. S-N: You might try a draft. Word is that Ivan Harmon and Mark Padgett will soon declare free-agent status. MH: And end up with unlucky 13? No thanks! S-N: Thanks for your time, Mike. MH: Always a pleasure. Need season tickets?

So Mark Padgett, the other Democrat in this nonpartisan city race, was taking a bit of a risk when he made an appearance at the club’s September meeting on the eve of early voting. But the audience was perfectly polite and pleasant, and so was Padgett, who is believed to be running second or third in a three-way battle with Rogero and Ivan Harmon, and is poised to unleash a tsunami of media on the voting public. A strong second-place finish could deny frontrunner Rogero a majority and force a runoff.

He did betray just a hint of trepidation when Emma Jean Huddleston, rocking a Madeline for Mayor maroon T-shirt, stuck her hand up in the air and interrupted his well-worn, rapid-fire campaign pitch (“grew up a poor white child in Lonsdale,” “$5,000 and a borrowed laptop,” “made a payroll,” “created jobs,” “can sit across the table from a world-class CEO”) with a question. She wasn’t exactly being mean, but her voice had a bit of an edge. Her question was pointed, and she sounded exactly like the schoolmarm she used to be before she retired: “I want to know more about your company. How many people do you employ, and what do they make?” This is a touchy campaign topic with Padgett, who is 33 and until this year has been known primarily as the son of former Knox County Clerk Mike Padgett. He’s running on the strength of his business acumen and took quite a hit a couple of months ago when he disclosed under duress that his 2010 business income was a little south of $30,000.

He didn’t give Huddleston the hard numbers she requested, but he told her that, “We now use 10 people to run my business,” and that he pays full-time employees between $60,000 and $65,000 a year and contractors $50 to $150 per hour. He said he has gone to great lengths to make sure that his employees have a good benefits package, which includes a strong health insurance policy. He also said that running for mayor hasn’t been good for business.

“I’ve been pretty focused on this campaign. Fortunately, I have a great COO that takes care of operations. We’ve kind of just maintained during this election.” And he said that he has never said that the company is anything but a small business (emphasis on small). “I’m proud of every one of those jobs I’ve created.” Padgett probably didn’t sway any votes, but his relentlessly upbeat sales pitch was well received and unlikely to shut any doors on him in the future.

Greenway challenge for next mayor Recently, several efforts have been launched to create new greenways and preserve green space within Knox County and in South Knox County.

Victor Ashe

First, the announced program of Legacy Parks Foundation working with the city and county recreation departments to create a new 10-mile greenway from Ijams Nature Center to Hastie Park will be a stellar addition to the greenway system over the next two years. This represents volunteers, individual backers and donors along with the city and county all working together for greenway enhancement. Mayoral candidates Madeline Rogero and Joe Hultquist were there at the announcement along with council member Nick Pavlis and council candidate Marshall Stair. This is the type of vision necessary to link the existing greenways in Knoxville and Knox County together so as to enhance the quality of life, recreational opportunities and a healthy lifestyle for countless citizens. Hopefully, the next city administration will make connecting existing greenways a real priority by adding at least 5 miles a year to the current system which

Sanders Plumbing

would make 20 miles over a four-year mayoral term. A second, less publicized effort is underway near Log Haven Drive off Cherokee Trail above the UT Hospital and beyond Cherokee Bluff Apartments to preserve the land there, much of which is still pristine and a wilderness area within the city. Lindsay McDonough of Aslan Foundation took me on a personal tour of the area a few weeks ago which was truly inspiring. The downside of the tour was the drive to the area past countless ugly student apartments carved into the hillside with obvious runoff issues accompanied by the incredibly high blue KUB water tower which so mars the landscape of the city as it is seen as far away as downtown Knoxville. This area, where Chris Whittle and Phil Moffitt once resided and which still retains its incredible scenic beauty, is being protected by the ownership of Aslan Foundation. Donna Young: The longtime greenway coordinator retires from city service at the end of September. She will be very hard to replace with someone with equal dedication, enthusiasm and determination. It’s another decision the next mayor must consider very carefully and what is done there will speak volumes on the mayor’s commitment to greenways. Randy Vineyard: The longest serving city finance

Rallying for Rogero More than 20 “human billboards” showed up at the corner of Broadway and Cecil Avenue at 7 a.m. the first day of early voting in support of mayoral candidate Madeline Rogero, who joined them. Behind her is Josh Wright. Photo by B. Bean director in more than a century has quietly retired from the Knoxville Chamber, where he went after he departed the directorship of the city finance department. He has not voiced plans on what he does next. Vineyard worked for the Chamber more than seven years. He worked for me as city finance director for the entire 16 years I was mayor. His integrity, hard work, knowledge and willingness to make hard decisions kept the city in a very sound financial condition. When I came into office in January 1988, I faced a

fund balance of less than $150,000. The city was issuing revenue anticipation notes to meet payroll. It was a tough time which is easily forgotten. Due to Vineyard’s work, we turned this around and increased fund balance from $150,000 to $20 million which I could turn over to my successor in 2003. He in turn increased the fund balance from $20 million to more than $50 million. Whatever Randy Vineyard ends up deciding to do, he will be an asset to the cause, effort or business which secures his time.

HALLS/FOUNTAIN CITY SHOPPER-NEWS • SEPTEMBER 12, 2011 • A-5

This flock of Canada geese dropped by Halls last Wednesday and made a quite spectacular scene at the entrance to the to-be-built Clayton Park. “Even the geese are ready for that park,” said Shopper-News guy Jake Mabe, who walked among them causing some to take flight. Yes, they were headed straight for Tindell’s. Photos by Jake Mabe

Rebuked and yet ... Sparks flew on “Tennessee This Week” on WATETV yesterday. Host Gene Patterson saw Becky Duncan Massey fire back on Marilyn Roddy’s misrepresentation of Massey’s position on the right-to-life campaign endorsement. In a press release and subsequent campaign literature, Roddy claimed the Tennessee Right-to-Life organization had given her a “100 percent pro-life rating” and had “rebuked” Massey’s positions. Almost immediately the Political Action Committee of TRL e-mailed a release denying an endorsement. “In the special election to fill (Jamie) Woodson’s seat ... (TRL) has not made any endorsement. We express our appreciation for the commitment of each candidate to public service and encourage each pro-life voter to carefully consider the public statements, records and positions of the candidates in an effort to elect the most effective advocate for the cause of life.” Meanwhile, a woman who had sponsored an event for Roddy expressed “disappointment” that Roddy had jumped so strongly on the pro-life issue. “I thought she was pro-choice.”

Sandra Clark

Roddy gained the Metro Pulse endorsement based on their editorial board’s perception of her as more liberal than Massey or the third candidate, Victoria DeFreese. Roddy spent a year running for Knoxville mayor only to discover her inner passion for education about 30 minutes after Jamie Woodson announced her resignation from the state Senate.

Meanwhile, eight former Republican Party chairs have endorsed Massey. Gerald Turner, Billy Stokes, Lynn Tarpy, R. Larry Smith, Sue Methvin, Chad Tindell, Mike Prince and Irene McCrary said Massey is a lifelong Republican, an accomplished businesswoman “whose life represents the essence of Republican values.” As executive director of the Sertoma Center for 14 years, Massey has managed a staff of 160 people and balanced a $6 million budget. In keeping with former President Reagan’s 11th commandment, the GOP chairs just endorsed Massey. There was no mention of either opponent.

GOSSIP AND LIES ■ Thank God for the alternative! Knoxville News Sentinel endorsed candidates Madeline Rogero, George Wallace, Marshall Stair, Finbarr Saunders and Marilyn Roddy. The alternative paper Metro Pulse endorsed Madeline Rogero, George Wallace, Marshall Stair, Finbarr Saunders and Marilyn Roddy. ■ Pop Quiz: Why did the Canada geese stop in Halls? A. They heard the TDOT has spread a buffet of grass seed on the right-of-way. B. Looking for a spot to winter, they heard “Halls Has It!” C. They were supporting Joe Jarret as an officer in the Knoxville Air Force Association. D. They had heard about Mary Lou’s health problems and came to “Honk for Horner!”

New officers for Air Force Association Knoxville’s chapter of the Air Force Association, an organization which serves active duty Air Force members and veterans, has elected its 2011-2012 officers, which are: past national chair Joe Sutter, immediate past president Jim Mungenast, vice president for membership Joe Jarret, local president Stephen Dillenburg and state president Marty Coffman.

Taken prisoner on the Indianola HISTORY AND MYSTERIES | Dr. Jim Tumblin

A.J. Albers’ Civil War adventure

ast Tennessee casualties of the Civil War, you might say, also included the departure of prominent business owners, such as David H. Cummings, Abner Gates Jackson, Dr. J.G.M. Ramsey, William G. Swan, Campbell Wallace and many others, who relocated to Atlanta, Birmingham, Charlotte, Memphis, New Orleans or Shreveport and elsewhere in the Deep South because of their Southern sympathies during the war. Some returned a few years after the war but some did not. Offsetting that loss was the gain of several former Union soldiers and sailors who chose to relocate in the South after the war. Andrew J. Albers, Hiram S. Chamberlain and William W. Woodruff were among those who contributed much to the area’s progress and cultural development. Andrew Jackson “A.J.” Albers was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, on July 19, 1844, the son of Dr. William and Emma Seeman Albers. William Albers, M.D., a native of Cologne, Germany, helped found the Ohio Medical College in Cincinnati. A.J. graduated from the Cincinnati College of Pharmacy in 1859 and began practicing his profession there. Early in the Civil War (August 1861), at only 17 years of age, he enlisted in the U.S. Navy as a pharmacist’s mate and served on gunboats on the Mississippi River and

Real estate market gets August bump The last full month of summer was a relatively good one for property Sherry sales in Knox County. Witt The month that ended Register of Deeds Aug. 31 produced 781 land transfers in the county, representing a total property value of $159.7 million. This data bested the July output by nearly 150 transactions and more than $12 million. There were also 82 more property transfers last month than in August of 2010. Last year 699 parcels changed hands during August, reaching a value of $138.9 million. August has historically been a strong month for construction and property sales. There was also a notable increase in activity for the local lending markets. For the month, about $228 million was loaned against property in Knox County, compared to just $184 million during July. Although the upswing may be cause for optimism, these numbers still lag painfully behind the mortgage activity of 2010. Last August saw $352 million in real estate lending. On the commercial front, the largest transfer of the month was a sale between McKibbon Hotel Group and Apple Ten SPE Knoxville. The property located on North Peters Road sold for just under $7 million. The financing for the sale was also among the largest mortgage transactions of the month, also coming in at around $7 million. This week our nation marked the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks on New York City and Washington, D.C. But it is not the cowardly acts of terrorism which we commemorate, but the brave and heroic response of those Americans so deeply touched by the events. Many first responders lost their lives on that tragic day. We should all be grateful to these brave individuals who daily put themselves in harmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s way for the benefit of others.

Mercy announces name change By Larry Van Guilder The pending acquisition of Mercy Health Partners by Health Management Associates comes with some name changes. Immediately following the anticipated October closing, Mercy will become Tennova Healthcare. Six area Mercy hospitals will also acquire new names.

A-8 • SEPTEMBER 12, 2011 • HALLS/FOUNTAIN CITY SHOPPER-NEWS

A solitary man In that day also he shall come even to thee … from the fortified cities, and from the fortress even to the river … (Micah 7:12 KJV) It is a habit of mine: making up stories to go with interesting people I see. I watch a young couple over dinner and try to figure out how long they have been dating. I see an older couple holding hands, and I imagine what their hands looked like when they placed those gold bands on one another’s fingers. But there is one man who haunts me. It has been 40 years, and though I can still see his face, I have made up no story for him. None at all. I was on a touring boat sailing north on the Rhine between Mainz and Bonn. The boat was a double-decker, and I, wanting to see every last tree and castle and flower, was on the top deck. It was a sunny day in summer, but the wind and water conspired to make it cooler than I expected. Most of the folks on the boat were tourists, talking in small groups, cameras at the ready. My job was to chaperone the crew of university students who were laughing and pointing at the sights and enjoying each

other’s company as much as the scenery. But there was one small man sitting on the far side of the boat, alone and very still. He could have been anywhere from 55 to 75. His face was weathered, and his hair, silvery. His black sport coat, worn thin and shiny, was little protection from the wind. With one hand, he clutched its lapels together at his throat. He looked frail, and I worried that he was cold. He had no companion, and I was certain he was not a tourist. He didn’t have a camera, nor did he throw more than desultory glances at the passing scenery. He didn’t even turn his head when the tour guide pointed out the Lorelei, the great cliff where legendary sirens sang sailors to their

doom. He seemed to be deep in thought, in a world of his own. I watched him, between my own photographic forays from one side of the boat to the other. I wondered if he was sad, or lonely. I wondered where he was going, and why he chose a tourist boat as his mode of transportation. I wondered what he – in his stillness – thought of this gaggle of energetic and animated college students. Had it not been for the language barrier (my German is limited to the lyrics of a very few German art songs), I might have spoken to him. At the very least, I wanted a picture of him and finally managed a profile shot as he (unaware of my camera) gazed out over the water. Years and years later, I moved from one house to another and forgot to go into the attic to retrieve my European photos. His image is forever lost to me, but I can still see his face, and that hand clutching his coat for warmth still makes me sad when I think of him. I will never know what his story was, but I am certain he had one, just as we all do. I believe that, one way and another, we are all among the walking wounded. There are enough hurts and failures, enough sadness and loneliness to go around, and when it comes right down to it, we are all like him, alone, inside our heads.

Central Baptist gets two new pastors By Betty Bean Dr. Mike Smith was in Murfreesboro, Tenn., and Pastor Jeff Cockerham was in Waco, Texas, when they got the call, so it’s not surprising they didn’t know each other before they both started considering taking positions at Central Baptist Church of Fountain City. But they had ways of finding out what they needed to know before they committed to what they both say is the unusual situation of being brandnew pastors in the same place at the same time. “I know people who know him,” said Smith, the church’s new senior pastor. “And I know people who know him,” said Cockerham, the new associate pastor of discipleship. “We talked with each other before making our decisions, and obviously we each did our background checks.” Smith was senior pastor at First Baptist Church of Murfreesboro. He said he pondered the decision to come to Knoxville for quite a while “It was the end result of six months of conversation and discerning God’s will,” he said. Cockerham was college pastor at Columbus Avenue Baptist Church in Waco, home of Baylor University and two other colleges. He had lived there for more than 30 years but says he “felt the strong nudge of God to move this way.” They were called to their new positions within a week of each other and they both began preaching Aug. 21. They share preaching duties on a rotation system. “If you show up here on Sunday morning, I can’t tell you who will be preaching,” Smith said. “Mike decides on the passage of scripture and we preach the same passage with the same focus and the same topic,” Cockerham said. “But Jeff writes his own sermon,” Smith said.

Senior Pastor Mike Smith and Associate Pastor of Discipleship Jeff Cockerham are celebrating their first month on the job at Central Baptist Church of Fountain City. Photo by B. Bean Smith and his wife, Grace, have been married for 35 years and have two grown children: daughter Kelly, who lives in Alaska, and son Chris, who is a lawyer in Nashville. Grace Smith is an English as a Second Language teacher. Cockerham and his wife, Laura, have been married for almost 10 years and have four children: Mallory, 6; Will, 5; Charlie, 3; and Mary, who is almost 7 months old. Laura Cockerham is a labor and delivery nurse who always wanted a houseful of children. As senior pastor to the 2,000-member congregation (more than 1,500 resident members), Smith says it’s his responsibility “to give overall leadership to the church as it discovers and fulfills its mission.” As associate pastor for dis-

cipleship, Cockerham says it’s his job “to facilitate the spiritual formation of the church’s members.” They both say that Central Baptist will continue to be an active member of the community and will continue supporting mission work in Appalachia and a fledgling mission in Romania. The Fountain City Ministry Center, a multichurch community outreach that is housed at Central Baptist, will continue its mission of helping the needy, and the church’s partnership with Central High School will be continue to be a point of emphasis, as well. “We are tied to this community,” Smith said. “That’s one of the things that drew me here,” Cockerham added.

Lincoln Park welcomes a new minister Lincoln Park Baptist Church, 823 Chickamauga Ave., recently welcomed its new minister, the Rev. Eddie Schwarberg. Schwarberg and his family are from Hamilton, Ohio, where he served in pastoral ministry. He and his wife, Kaylan, have a daughter, Abigail.

Fall’s big family NATURE NOTES | Dr. Bob Collier

alk about big families. If you were one of the Asteraceae, all the flowers in the aster family, you would have to rent a really big hall for your family reunion. Besides the mostly tropical orchid family, the asters are the largest family of plants in the world, containing more than 12,000 species. That’s a lot of cousins! There are about 320 species in the aster family in Tennessee, 181 of them found in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. And still counting. A lot of these flowers are familiar. There are the vari-

ous asters themselves. Then there are the coneflowers, the daisies, the black-eyed Susans, the blue chickory alongside the roads, the thistles in our fields. Goldenrod, ragweed and dandelions are asters all. There are aster-family flowers blooming all season long, but they really show themselves in late summer into fall. A quick walk through the back field recently revealed Joe-Pye weed, New York ironweed, brown-eyed Susans in profusion. Yarrow is still blooming; it is in the aster family. Look-alike Queen

Anne’s lace is not. It’s in the parsley family. Typical aster flowers are like daisies, a round, raised center with petals all around it. But wouldn’t you know it? There’s a lot more to the story. Actually, what we refer to as a flower is a whole composition, made up of lots of tiny flowers, or florets, as they’re called. The botanists refer to this type of flower as a “composite.” The center part of these flowers, the yellow part in the daisy and the black part in the Susan, are made up of dozens of tiny individual flowers. Look at one with a magnifying glass. These are called disc flowers. And those things we refer to as petals are actually, each one, a flower, called ray flowers. There are familiar flowers in this big family that have only disc flowers. A good example is the thistles. Check them out. No petals there. Others have only ray flow-

Bull thistle ers. Dandelions fall into this group, nice bright yellow petals, but not a sign of a daisylike center. The blue roadside chickory, also known as Blue Sailors, are another example of ray-only flowers. Each blue flower lasts only one day; the roots of chickory are roasted and brewed into coffee. In fact, a large percentage of the Asteraceae have been used for various medicinal properties. As for the asters themselves, we have short ones, tall ones, varieties with a few flowers and varieties with dozens per stalk. Most of

them are in colors from white on through pale lavender to deep purple. The tall, stately, intensely purple New England asters stand as much as 10 feet tall and bear as many as 50 blossoms. They are an important late-season food for the Monarch butterflies as they migrate toward their wintering grounds in Mexico. There are several smaller white asters, too. They look like tiny daisies, many to a stem. The spring ones are called Robin’s plantain; the fall ones are very similar, and are called Daisy fleabane. And, there are many more, enough to make even the botanists scratch their heads at times. There are lots of blackeyed Susans out now, suntanned versions of the white daisies. Various species of native bees, small wasps, and butterflies are busily feeding on their nectar, as they are doing with all the flowers now. Nectar is harder to come

by now than it was in May. Then there are the other tall guys. The New York ironweed is the most purple of the purples. Tall, with zillions of tiny, aster-like flowers, they are humming with all sorts of little bugs and butterflies. And taller still, standing in fields and along moist roadsides, is the feathery, pale lavender Joe-Pye weed, also called Queen of the Meadow. It is a frequent host to many species of butterflies and a good place to hang out in order to photograph them. Its name is said to come from a person named Joe Pye, an American Indian who was an itinerant herb doctor and who used the Joe-Pye weed in various preparations for a number of ailments. Those Asteraceae are an interesting and colorful bunch. You should meet some of them and get to know the family better.

Danny Trent predicts good year for Central By Betty Bean Danny Trent says he’s looking for good things to happen in his third year as principal at Central High School: increased graduation rates, a new position of instructional coach to mentor teachers and help generate new ideas, and a new team model that he believes will improve teacher and student performance. “We’ve got 25 new teachers, everything from first year to some who relocated here from out of state. They seem to be doing very well.” He’s particularly excited about the prospect of Byron Booker’s being named Tennessee’s Teacher of the Year. Booker, who teaches English as a Second Language, has already claimed Knox County and regional TOY honors, and Trent is optimistic about his chances. “I really feel that he will get it,” Trent said. “And even with all the other things he does for his kids, he’s still continuing with Rachel’s Challenge (a program promoting kindness started by the family of a student murdered in the school shooting at Columbine High School in Colorado that Trent instituted last year as a response to the shooting death of 9th grader Ryan McDonald in 2008). “He’s trying to make a difference in the lives of others.”

“We’ve got over 100 kids in the band,” Trent said. “Each year they add a few more kids. They sound better and better.” Trent said the new football coach, Joe Hassell, “is doing a lot of good things,” and he is very excited about standout Cody Blanc, who has accepted a scholarship offer to play for the University of Tennessee next year. “I think that was important for our school,” Trent said. “We’re excited that he’s going to get to run through the T. He leads by example. Cody’s what I call ‘The Real Deal.’ ” Chorus director Becki Thomas once again has big plans for the new year, starting with three performances of a 9/11 commemorative ceremony – two at Central, one at Gresham Middle School – and culminating in a spring production of “Les Miserables.” “Last year when she tackCentral High School principal Danny Trent Photo by B.

Two trips to Florida TALES OF TENNESSEE | Marvin West Those who follow college football occasionally encounter unfriendly places. Beyond that is another level called hostile environments. Death Valley comes to mind. Finally, there is loud, unfriendly, hostile Ben Hill Griffin Stadium at Florida Field. Steve Spurrier reduced the verbiage and named it “The Swamp.” He said a swamp is a hot and sticky place that can be dangerous.

“Generally speaking, only Gators get out alive.” Stadium design traps noise and prevents even a hint of a breeze. Fanatics are a factor. How ugly are fans? Well, Vickie Fulmer once weathered a profanity attack because her husband was a prominent coach. A deranged villain tried to spit into Tennessee water coolers. The late, great George Cafego, slow exiting, caught a cup of liquid

dropped by a Florida fan. George, tilting toward politeness, said it was probably whiskey. The Swamp is a bad place because, for years and years, Florida has had good players. Some may have been mean-spirited. Ready or not, into this challenge go the nice, sweet, youthful Volunteers. Big prize. Tough task. Children should cover their ears.

Two trips to Florida live in infamy. The worst loss of Phillip Fulmer’s coaching career happened in Gainesville four years ago. It was 59-20. It was marked by Tennessee’s inability to run the football, as in 37 yards on 22 attempts. I seem to remember a sizable gap between Tennessee tacklers and Gators scampering around with the football. There wasn’t much resistance on the perimeter or dependable coverage deep. Eleven plays netted Florida 296 yards. Tim Tebow had completions of 25, 30, 49, 48, 20 and 44. Young Eric Berry was among those burned. Three times. The Gators gained many additional yards in more conventional ways.

If you were there, you won’t forget the thirdquarter fumble returned for a touchdown. Erik Ainge and Arian Foster failed to mesh on a handoff. It was discouraging. The deficit was only eight at the time. Some awful things happened after that. There was a bad trip in 1995. It ended 62-37. Believe it or not, this was a comeback romp. Tennessee led 30-14 in the second quarter. What transpired after that remains a mystery. It was one heck of a Florida rally or a total Tennessee collapse. Peyton Manning remembers whatever it was happened fast. Personas changed at intermission. One team came back blazing. The other was flat. Hitting seemed one-sided.

Joey Kent got knocked out and needed a dozen stitches. Two Jay Graham turnovers and a couple of tipped passes turned into a giant snowball. Defense disappeared. Danny Wuerffel passes generated 381 yards and six touchdowns. Ike Hilliard caught four. Somebody from Knoxville said it was embarrassing. Do not totally blame that disaster on the Swamp, heat, noise, rude fans or great Gators. There had to be other forces at work. Florida’s 62 points were historic, most against UT since 1893. OK, if you really must know, Duke once scored 70. Before and after that Florida trip, 1995 Tennessee was undefeated. The record was 11-1. Go figure. Marvin West invites reader reaction. His address is westwest6@netzero.com.

Modern Supply will light your world

Modernâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Millie Modern Supplyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s design consultant + remodeling expert

Tips for lighting your home Lighting is important in any space â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it creates mood, ambiance and pizazz. Updating tired, drab lighting fixtures â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or just the globes or shades â&#x20AC;&#x201C; can spruce up your space with a snazzy new look and doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to cost big bucks. Lighting should reflect your lifestyle and how you use the space. The 3 basic types to consider are ambient (general lighting), task and accent. â&#x2014;&#x2020; Ambient, or general lighting, provides overall area illumination and is a must-have for a good lighting plan. It should provide brightness without glare. You gotta be able to see to walk safely in your stilettos or flops! Chandeliers, ceiling or wall-mounted fixtures, recessed or track lighting are good choices for ambient light. â&#x2014;&#x2020; Task lighting helps you to perform specific tasks such as applying flawless makeup. It needs to be free of glare and shadows but bright enough to nip eye strain. Pendant, under-cabinet, floor and table lamps are excellent for task lighting. â&#x2014;&#x2020; Accent lighting is a design touch that adds drama by drawing the eye to your snazzy treasures. Artwork, sculptures or wall textures pop with accent lighting. Accent lighting should provide at least 3 times as much light as the general surrounding light. Modern Supplyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lighting consultants know their stuff and are ready to help you select super swanky fixtures to light up your world. Stop in and see for yourself!

Modern Supply has carved many unique niches for itself in the marketplace over the years, and one of those areas is in lighting. Kim Miller, who has been with the company for more than a dozen years, spearheaded a recent showroom expansion which doubled the space devoted exclusively to lighting. Miller gives co-worker Donna Harmon, a design consultant with the company, all the credit for the dramatically increased emphasis on contemporary designs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Modern Supply has one of the largest selections of contemporary and transitional lighting in this area,â&#x20AC;? Miller says.

If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see exactly what you want on the showroom ďŹ&#x201A;oor, you can browse catalogues to ďŹ nd your favorite design. Rather than building a new house, many homeowners are choosing to stay where they are and remodel. Changing lighting can be a cost-effective and dramatic way to achieve a brand new look, the designers say. Updating light fixtures can completely change the look of any room in the house, and most homeowners are selecting the more contemporary styles to achieve the new look they want. And at Modern Supply, if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see exactly what you want on the showroom floor, you can browse catalogues there to find your favorite design. With the expansion of the lighting area, Modern Supply now has one room devoted exclusively to lighting for childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spaces. There are pink chandeliers for the â&#x20AC;&#x153;girly girls,â&#x20AC;? and for the boys there are light fixtures and ceiling fans with sports themes ranging from football, basketball and soccer to race

cars and motorcycles. Many items have matching wall art and mirrors. Ceiling fans are a must have item for most homeowners, and Modern Supply carries the latest fans and accessories by MinkaAire, a designer that uses unique colors of wood and metals, including liquid nickel. Also in the new showroom are products by Sonneman, an all-contemporary lighting designer whose products include chandeliers, wall mounts, sconces, pendants, table and floor lamps and swing-out wall-mounted lamps you can use when reading and then push back against the wall when not in use. And Modern Supply has a wide array of decorative items such as mirrors, whimsical wall art, vases, candle holders and figurines. Because of the recent hail and storm damage, many homeowners are choosing this time to update the exterior of their property with a brand new look. Modern Supply has a large assortment of light posts, wall mounts, ceiling mounts and even outdoor table lamps. Miller says when planning a visit to the newly-expanded showroom, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good idea to allow lots of time to browse and enjoy the friendly atmosphere. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have been told by so many customers that they love to come here because of the great atmosphere. They can tell we have a good time and really enjoy what we do.â&#x20AC;? Modern Supplyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s corporate offices and showroom on Lovell Road are open to the public from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays and on Saturdays and evenings by appointment. The company is known for its high quality products, superior service and capable teams of professionals. Stop by soon for a look at whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new, or call the office at 966-4567 to make an appointment. Up next for Modern Supply: an open house for the public on Oct. 28 to showcase all the new lines. Watch for coming details.

Pendant lights add a pop of color and style.

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

New device helps control air leaks in lung

Emphysema: When you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take a deep breath Emphysema is a chronic and progressive lung disease that causes shortness of breath, fatigue, poor circulation and a racing heartbeat. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of several diseases known together as COPD, for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. In emphysema, the air sacs in the lungs lose their elasticity and are gradually destroyed. Lungs become enlarged and ineffective because they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exhale fully. People with emphysema are chronically out of breath, even while resting. They are more likely to develop a collapsed lung, heart problems and large holes in the lungs that leak air. Smoking is the leading cause of emphysema. Air pollution and inhaling chemical fumes can also contribute to the disease. Every year, about 13,000 Americans die from emphysema.

Using a relatively new FDA approved treatment, physicians at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center are the ďŹ rst in Knoxville to use a set of tiny medical devices to control a prolonged air leak in a patientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lung. Sixty-two-year-old Kermit Hatmaker of Speedwell, Tennessee, is the first person in Knoxville to have an IBV Valve System implanted in his lung. It was an hourlong, minimally invasive procedure, with no surgical incisions. Hatmaker has emphysema, a chronic and progressive lung disease that causes the lungs to overinflate, pushing on nearby organs like the heart. On June 30, his left lung collapsed from the disease, and he suffered a heart attack as a result. He was flown to Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center, where he underwent lung surgery performed by Fort Sanders cardiothoracic surgeon Dr. Lacy Harville in an attempt to repair the damaged lung. However, after surgery Hatmaker experienced continued air leaks, in which air leaks out of the lungs into the chest cavity. In most cases, the air leak will resolve after several days. Unfortunately, Mr. Hatmakerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leak did not resolve, largely due to his severe emphysema. As Hatmakerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leak persisted, Fort Sanders pulmonary physician Dr. Gregory P. LeMense decided to

Kermit Hatmaker, pictured here with his wife Mary, is the recipient of Knoxvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first IBVÂŽ Valve System implant.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The doctors explained it to us, how it worked. I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say enough about them. I just love them all, every one of them.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Mary Hatmaker use the new endobronchial valves to seal off the leaking portion of the lung. The device has FDA Humanitarian Device Exemption approval for prolonged lung air leaks. These valves are tiny, umbrellashaped devices the size of a pencil

eraser and made of titanium and silicone. They are inserted into the lungs by way of the mouth, using a flexible instrument called a bronchoscope. Once in the lung passageway, the valves expand and block it, and create a one-way valve. They allow air to flow out of the lung, but not back into it. Over a few days, the valves cause the leaking portion of the lung to collapse, keeping the air flowing only to the healthy portions of the lung. Mr. Hatmaker is now back home in Speedwell and is able to talk and walk again. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh yes, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doing a lot better,â&#x20AC;? says Mary Hatmaker of her husband. Mr. Hatmaker is able to walk inside and is using a wheelchair to get outside sometimes. He says he is grateful for the care he received at Fort Sanders. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The nurses were awful nice,â&#x20AC;? he explains. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ask for any better nurses than I had. They even call to check up on me once and a while.â&#x20AC;? Mary Hatmaker says she knew her husband was in good hands at Fort Sanders throughout the surgery and the endobronchial valve procedure. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The doctors explained it to us, how it worked,â&#x20AC;? Mary Hatmaker smiles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say enough about them. I just love them all, every one of them.â&#x20AC;?

For more information about the endobronchial valve procedure call 865-673-FORT. (3678).

Endobronchial Valve Therapy Endobronchial valves are tiny medical devices with a potentially big future. The FDA has approved the IBV Valve system for Humanitarian Device Exemption (HDE) use to control prolonged air leaks of the lung. The endobronchial valve is also being studied in clinical trials for treating emphysema without surgery. Emphysema is a chronic lung condition in which lungs lose their elasticity and canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exhale. They become overinďŹ&#x201A;ated and push on other organs, plus they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t deliver oxygen efďŹ ciently to the blood. To treat the disease, sometimes physicians cut out a portion of the lung, rerouting the air to healthier tissue. This is called â&#x20AC;&#x153;lung volume reduction surgery.â&#x20AC;? It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cure the emphysema but makes it easier for the patient to breathe. It is a difďŹ cult and painful surgery, however, with a long hospital stay. Researchers hope lung reduction can be done in a minimally invasive way with endobrochial valves. The valves â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which look like tiny umbrellas made of titanium and silicone â&#x20AC;&#x201C; are implanted into the airways through the mouth with a ďŹ&#x201A;exible

endoscope. Typically four or ďŹ ve valves are implanted into neighboring airways. The valves have a one-way ďŹ&#x201A;ow, allowing air to ďŹ&#x201A;ow out of the lung, but not go back in. Several days after implantation, that portion of the lung collapses. Extensive clinical trials are underway to determine if the devices are safe and effective enough to replace lung reduction surgery. The FDA has approved endobronchial valves currently only for the treatment of persistent air leaks. These can occur after traditional lung surgery. While most surgery-induced leaks heal on their own, some do not. The valves can be implanted to close off the leaking portion of the lung. Pulmonologist Gregory P. LeMense is the ďŹ rst physician in Knoxville to use the endobronchial valve to stop a patientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s persistent lung air leak. The procedure was performed recently at Fort Sanders Medical Center. Dr. LeMense is encouraged about the possible future use for emphysema patients. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It hopefully will give us a minimally invasive option for the treatment of emphysema in the future,â&#x20AC;? explains Dr. LeMense.

For more information about the endobronchial valve procedure call 865-673-FORT (3678).

The IBVÂŽ Valve System for the lung is so small it easily fits on a fingertip.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The endobronchial valve hopefully will give us a minimally invasive option for the treatment of emphysema in the future.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Dr. Gregory LeMense, Pulmonologist

Ode to the opossum Because I wrote about my least favorite creature (the spider) last week, this week seems like a good time to tell you some interesting facts about one of my all-time favorites.

Sara Barrett

Critter Tales The opossum may appear to some to be a nasty animal that will fight anything or anyone that stands in its way of eating – or of just surviving, for that matter. With gnarly teeth and what many consider to be

a not-so-attractive appearance, this mammal is one most folks tend to run off their property (and off the road) when spotted. What they really need to do is the exact opposite. The opossum would rather roll over and play dead (literally) than stand up and fight any enemy. Opossums enjoy dining on a number of different pests that annoy humans, including snails, rodents and even the occasional snake. Their typical lifespan is a short two to four years, and if you ever get the chance to watch one in action, they’re really quite adorable. Opossums always look like they’ve just stepped out of bed with their
