Loopers for lunch Dr. Bob Collier had an uninvited guest at dinner just the other night. “Well,” Bob says, “uninvited to me; unwelcome to Grandma. Upon aiming for my first bite of salad, I spied something walking down the right sleeve of my shirt. Not walking, exactly, either, but getting along by a mode of travel the caterpillar people call “looping” – front feet out and down, bring the back ones up, repeat. “Yep, a nice, vigorous inchworm was heading down the sleeve, trying to get to the salad bowl ahead of me. They must be fond of salad.”

Robin Wilhoit has been reporting the news for Channel 10 for 20 years. Wilhoit told attendees of the Halls Community Prayer Breakfast April 6, that she has seen God’s hand at work, even when reporting on tragedy. “I consider myself to be a very, very blessed person,” she said. “Some of these stories are hard to tell. There’s a lot of heartache in the world, but in the midst of that, I have seen God’s hand at work.” Wilhoit spoke about the aftermath of 9/11, when Knoxvillians rallied to support New Yorkers, raising $1 million to replace a fire truck destroyed when the Twin Towers collapsed. In 2005, Knoxville adopted the small town of Bay St. Louis, decimated by Hurricane Katrina. People raised money, donated food, clothing and water. Two years ago, Wilhoit revisited the town. “That community is being restored,” she said. For one of her first assignments at Channel 10, Wilhoit followed Remote Area Medical to the village of San Fernando, Mexico. Out of the huge crowd of people waiting for much-needed medical care, Wilhoit found a little boy named Jesus, who was born with a cleft lip and palate. His mother brought Jesus in the hope that someone could help him. A plastic surgeon had travelled with the group. He repaired the little boy’s lip that day. “(The mother’s) prayer was answered,” said Wilhoit. “I saw God’s handiwork that day.” Finally, Wilhoit spoke about her own father, who is battling

the North Knoxville Medical Center would be developed as mixed use, under preliminary plans drawn by Reynolds. The land could be developed as medical or some commercial, and the zoning would extend to the old Powell airport. While some of that land is inside a flood plain, Reynolds said developers could fill up to one-half of the 100-year flood plain. Historic Powell: Planners are anticipating substantial changes to Powell and the Clinton Highway area following completion of the Emory Road extension, now under construction. It will open up a section of Clinton Highway for redevelopment, while reducing through traffic in “downtown” Powell. This could lead to a more pedestriandriven business and residential look and a “small town” feel, said Carberry. He’s recommending that MPC work with area stakeholders to develop a vision plan before detailed land uses are set.
User-friendly land use plan By Sandra Clark There’s too much asphalt in the Halls business district. Shopping center parking lots are too big. If you agree, your chance to be heard is near. Planner Mike Reynolds is leading a team from the Metropolitan Planning Commission to update the North Sector Plan. Yawn, you say. A sector plan includes 15-year land use, and recent court rulings have given such plans much more weight than before. The plan is used in making recommendations in zoning cases and capital improvements. It impacts community facilities such as parks and walking trails or sidewalks. It might even determine whether your neighbor can install a body shop or landing strip. Upcoming meetings (see sidebar) are open format without a presentation. Maps will be on display boards with plenty of staff to answer questions and take comments. The April meetings are follow-ups to meetings held last fall. Reynolds, in a one-hour

interview last week, said final hearings will be held after planners absorb suggestions made in April. Info: 215-2500. Old Walmart: Reynolds says the Halls Centre could accommodate a 30,000 to 40,000 square foot building(s) (can you say Red Lobster?) if the county’s parking standards are reduced. “We have begun looking at what other cities and counties have for parking standards, but do not have a projection for ‘if or when’ a proposal will be rolled out for public review,” he said. Current county parking standards require 200 square feet per parking space with 5 spaces for every 1,000 square feet of leasable space (with more stringent limits on theaters, etc.). Planners are considering a reduction to 180 square feet per space and possibly 3.5 spaces per 1,000 square feet. Planner Mike Carberry said the new Kroger in Fountain City is an example of a business that asked for and received a variance on parking spaces. “Four spaces per 1,000 square feet are required in the city, but Kroger was approved for fewer to save
the trees in the parking lot. We thought that was important.” Halls Centre, along with the Black Oak Plaza (where Kroger was torn down), are being considered for “mixed use” in the new sector plan. That would allow retail, office or even residential use of the land. Urban growth: Planners are holding to the urban growth and planned growth boundaries adopted in the 1990s and still in use. “The plans show a small extension of low density residential, but only in the planned growth area,” Carberry said. Per MPC regs, low density allows up to five dwelling units per acre. Raccoon Valley at I-75: The maps show a dramatic blotch of purple along Raccoon Valley Road on both sides of the interstate, but Reynolds said much of the land is already zoned for commercial or industrial use. By putting a “mixed use” designation there, property owners would have more flexibility. “Mixed use could include light industrial, as long as it doesn’t abut residential property,” he said, calling the Raccoon Valley/ interstate area “under-utilized.” Tennova: Property around

If ever Jake Mabe has seen a perfect monument, it’s the one dedicated to Bob Polston at the Halls High School baseball field. It sits at what was Bob’s longtime vantage point. Game after game, season after season, there Bob would sit, sporting that Yankees cap and that infectious grin, shooting his radar gun and swapping stories.

The best seat in the house If ever I’ve seen a perfect monument, it’s the one dedicated to Bob Polston at the Halls High School baseball field.
Jake Mabe MY TWO CENTS It sits at what was Bob’s longtime vantage point. Game after game, season after season, there Bob would sit, sporting that Yankees cap and that infectious grin, shooting his radar gun and swapping stories. We lost Bob last August. I told you awhile ago the field was going to be named in his honor, thanks to a petition signed by friends and neighbors. No, he didn’t coach at Halls. But Bob maintained that field like it was his backyard. And he continued to mentor kids, just like he’d done his whole life. The ceremony March 30 was perfect. Just a few words. Somber nods. A round of applause. Family front and center. Bob even helped us out by telling the Big Guy to keep
high schools yielded a combined record of 156-44-4 in football and 175-47 in baseball. He was KFL Coach of the Year in 1969, 1971, 1973 and 1976. He was a member of at least three halls of fame and served as the Knox County Schools athletic director for 27 years. But, you know, Bob didn’t care about stats. When I talked to him in 2005 after he retired, he wanted to tell me about his grandkids Alison, Lem and Tyler. “Being a grandfather will ruin you,” he said, as that grin crept onto his face. He even deflected credit for his coaching success away to others, telling me he did what he did because “I had great kids to work with and good coaches to help me.” He said one thing I just loved, ’cause it was true and he earned it. “I made up my mind early that somebody might outcoach me but they weren’t going to outwork me.” He told me he gave up This monument to the late Bob Polston has been placed at his usual vantage point at the Halls High baseball field, which was coaching because he didn’t want to coach his son, Doug. named in his honor March 30.

Sultana reunion is this month By Dr. Jim Tumblin On April 26, 1865, an overloaded packet boat, the Sultana, left Memphis with 2,300 passengers aboard, many of them Union soldiers recently freed from Andersonville and Cahaba prisons at the end of the Civil War. Seven miles upriver and a few hours later, one of the boilers exploded and the boat burned and sank. In the largest maritime disaster in American history, about 1,700 lives were lost compared to the 1,517 who died when the Titanic sank on April 14, 1912. Among the passengers on the Sultana were some 400 troopers of the 3rd Tennessee Cavalry (USA), many of them from Blount, Knox, McMinn and Monroe counties. Until the last one died in 1931, the local survivors of the disaster The Sultana memorial monument. Photo by Jim Tumblin
met annually on April 27 to commemorate the loss of their comrades. When he realized the need to memorialize those whose lives were lost in the Sultana Disaster as well as those who suffered but survived, local attorney Norman Shaw organized a modern-day annual Reunion of the Descendants of the Survivors of the Sultana. The inaugural meeting was held at Mt. Olive Baptist Church on Maryville
community He told me about the Father’s Day card he got every year from Clarence “Ba Ba” Jackson, a former player at Austin-East who later played for the New York Jets. Seventy-six of his players signed college scholarships, four were high school AllAmericans and three played professional football. One former player, Carl Torbush, became a successful football coach. If you’ll forgive a personal note, I have one. I’ve been watching Halls High baseball games here and there, as I can, either as a student, fan or writer, for 20 years. And I can tell you going up there will never be the same. As I looked down from the press box that Friday night, you don’t know how badly I wanted to see that Yankees cap, that radar gun and that great grin just one more time. But I’m so glad the land he loved so much will forever be known as Bob Polston Field. And that monument sits right where it should. ’Cause like his daughterin-law Trina wrote, Bob’s got the best seat in the house. ■

to those who called or wrote last week sharing memories of Elvis Presley. In all seriousness, it meant quite a lot. One of my favorites came from my friend David Hunter (the writer) who reminded me of a tale I heard years ago about Elvis and Cas Walker. Cas Walker E l v i s made a brief whistle stop in Knoxville, most likely at the Southern Railway station, and I’m all but certain it was when he came home from the Army in 1960. (But it could’ve been at the L&N and/or earlier in the 1950s.) Anyway, David said Cas decided, as a prominent Knoxvillian, he needed to go down there to say hello to Elvis. Says David: “That evening, Cas was trampled by teenage girls. He showed up on the ‘Farm and Home Hour’ the next day, battered and angry about out-of-control youth.” Cas Walker trampled by teenagers? I’d give a year’s salary to see fi lm of that!
on the river’s shore line, the site of the Litherbury Shipyard where the Sultana was built and Camp Dennison, where many of the Ohio and Indiana Union soldiers who were on the boat were mustered into service and trained. Those interested in attending the meeting should contact Norman Shaw at 693-2171 or email shawclan4@bellsouth.net. Editor’s Note: Dr. Jim Tumblin will have a feature story on the Sultana in next week’s ShopperNews on page A-6.

government Smelling a rat last week to visit Oak Ridge National Labs. He spent two full days there and had dinner with close friend Rep. Jimmy Duncan on Tuesday. Womack serves on the very important House Appropriations Committee and is vice chair of the Energy subcommittee which triggered his visit to Oak Ridge. It’s unusual for a new member to take out two days for such a tour and that is good news for Knoxville and Oak Ridge. Chick-fi l-A has announced it will revise its originally 50 foot high sign at its new Bearden location on Kingston Pike. Council member Duane Grieve and Scenic Knoxville helped persuade them to change course. If only TVA would listen to the public on their massive tree cutting program which has triggered a federal lawsuit and considerable outrage. The public hearing April 4 on proposed apartments near Island Home drew a capacity crowd at South Knoxville Elementary School. More than 150 persons attended along with Vice Mayor Nick Pavlis who represents South Knoxville on City Council and Council members Finbarr Saunders, George Wallace, Nick Della Volpe and Marshall Stair. Also present were high level Rogero officials Bill Lyons, Bob Whetsel and Communications Director Angela Starke. Starke is new while Lyons and Whetsel are veteran city officials. An obvious flaw was the absence of any working sound system. It was virtually impossible to hear unless you were within five feet of the one speaking. Had Special Events Director Judith Foltz been included in the planning she would have checked that box. I discussed this with Starke and she saw the urgent need for correction. She is new and energetic. I suspect she will not let this happen again. The plan itself is going nowhere until it is substantially changed. Attorney Chris Field and his wife, Casey, spoke eloquently on how the plan contradicts the city waterfront mission statement adopted a few years back. Next week more on TVA and how it has lost its way with the neighbors.
When you read that the county’s Charter Review Committee may split charter proposals between the August and November elections this year, you need to fasten your seat belts and be careful in reading what proposal goes where.
Victor Ashe
Why? Because the county election on the first Thursday in August will be lucky to have 20,000 voters given the few offices to decide. However, the November general election will include the Obama/Romney presidential contest for which voter turnout in Knox County could reach 100,000. It is entirely possible that persons wanting a small turnout to decide the question and a desire to keep discussion to a small number of voters will opt for August. People who believe in full voter participation will want November. When we read that some charter members worry there will be too many proposals which might confuse voters, do not be misled. Voters are not stupid. They can smell a rat. This is an excuse, not a reason, for splitting proposals. Shelley Breeding, an attorney who wants to be the Democratic nominee for Knox House District 89 in northwest Knox County, is having residency questions raised. Seems the property she claims as her residence is partly in Knox County and partly in Anderson County. And apparently her house is in the Anderson County portion and that’s where her mortgage company has sent the property taxes. However, she has been a Knox County voter for several years. A lawsuit may develop which will secure her considerable publicity which her campaign could never afford to buy. If Breeding is disqualified, Democrats can re-open qualifying or do a write-in for someone else. Republican U.S. Rep. Steve Womack of Arkansas was in town

Running for the county line In a lot of ways, Shelley Breeding is a mail order candidate.
Betty Bean
Instead of business as usual – you know the drill: trotting out a tired retread or some frat boy son-ofan-officeholder– Knox County Democrats have come up with a smart-asa-whip, likeable prospect with a real job as a candidate for the new 89th District House legislative seat. She’s a coal miner’s daughter (yes, really) who came down to Knoxville from the hills of southwest Virginia to attend the University of Tennessee as a Whittle Scholar (remember how hard it was to get a Whittle Scholarship?). She majored in political science, Japanese and world business, and interned at the first private medical facility in Japan. She stayed here to go to law school and paid her

way by tutoring football and basketball players at the Thornton Athletics Student Life Center. She also found time to study international law in Cambridge, England; Santiago, Chile; Buenos Aires, Argentina; and Cape Town, South Africa. She got her law degree and worked for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the Office for Global Health, where she dealt with international health threats like bird flu, HIV-AIDS, typhoid and other infectious diseases. She returned to Knoxville to practice law in 2006 and opened her own
firm in 2008. She does a lot of business in family law – divorce, adoptions and foster care work – and says that representing children who have been abused is a big part of what makes her want to run for the Legislature. Today, Breeding and Dothard has six lawyers, six staff members and two clerks, making the 31-yearold Shelley Suzanne Breeding a small business owner as well as a lawyer. She’s made a payroll and she’s created jobs. But they may not let her run. “They” is the office of the state coordinator of elections, where Knox County’s election coordinator Cliff Rodgers punted the question of her eligibility after discovering that the house she and her husband, John Payne, built in 2009 sits right smack on the Anderson County line. Breeding says she didn’t realize that her mortgage holder was paying her taxes to Anderson County until Rodgers called her up to tell her that she couldn’t run. There are six criteria
used to determine residency, and Breeding says five of them put her squarely in Knox County – she votes here, gets her mail here, works here, is a notary public here and had her new septic tank inspected by the Knox County Health Department. Democrats suspect the Republic an- controlled election commission of partisan hanky-panky, pointing to Commissioner Rob McNutt, who voted seven times in a district where he didn’t live (a felony under election law). His GOP colleagues dismissed this as a mere technicality. Rodgers says that his staff simply came across the anomaly “while doing our due diligence” and checking the addresses of those who signed Breeding’s qualifying petition. He says he is awaiting an answer from Nashville and suggests that she might want to run in Anderson County. Breeding says she’s going to sue. And the fledgling career of the brightest new face in Knox County politics hangs in the balance.
8-1 vote sends budget to Burchett It was almost a historic unanimous vote for a superintendent’s budget, but in the end Mike McMillan could not say yes.
Sandra Clark McMillan seemed to want to vote yes. He said the budget contains many items he supports. He even said since he “just got re-elected,” he could vote yes (without political consequences). He tried to postpone the vote on personal privilege, a courtesy extended to members who want a month’s delay. Cindy Buttry quickly quieted that suggestion, observing that the county charter requires the school board to vote on a budget by April 15. McMillan said “my district” is not willing to pay more taxes, and he’s concerned that the mayor would veto this budget, even if it was adopted by County Commission. So he voted no. Support came from all others: Buttry: “I am super excited about … this budget. Some folks don’t realize how far behind we are in
technology. We were behind five years ago; now we are further behind. … And this budget is more than just technology. It’s academic and capital improvement driven. Every district and every student will benefit.” Indya Kincannon: “I’m all in. We have a specific plan for how to spend the (extra requested) $35 million; not just for one year but for five.” Pam Trainor: “I am uber-excited. This moves the community forward.” Karen Carson: “I like the high accountability factor of this budget. If we can accelerate the funding, we can accelerate the outcome. … We need the community around each of our schools (to give support).” Lynne Fugate: “It’s the obligation of this board to do what we can to increase resources. We’re expecting more from students and teachers. In the private sector, where I come from, when we expect more we invest more.” Kim Sepesi: “I ran on moving education forward. For me, the issue is the pace. Do we move forward slowly or do we accelerate the movement? Our children will compete in a global economy. I favor this budget.” Thomas Deakins: At the joint retreat of school board members and coun-
School board chair Thomas Deakins talks with board member Cindy Buttry following last week’s meeting. Deakins said: “I will champion this budget.” Photo by S. Clark ty commissioners, we agreed that we want “the best school system in the southeast. This budget allows us to move to that.” Deakins said the school system must build the infrastructure for technology, and then equip each teacher and student with tools, whether iPads or Notebooks or something not yet invented, to teach the way today’s kids learn. “It’s time for this board to lead. Let’s invest in what matters,” he said. Gloria Deathridge didn’t make a rousing speech; she just voted yes.
Buttry, who has opposed previous budgets, said this one got it right. “We can pay it now or pay it later because these are things we need.” Leaving Mike McMillan, the man whose district is getting a brand new school at Carter Elementary, to cast the solitary no vote. So it’s on to Mayor Tim Burchett and then to County Commission. There’s a short time frame. Burchett will present his budget in early May; the commission will vote before May’s end.

GOSSIP AND LIES ■ Mike McMillan tried to delay the vote on the school budget by saying something like: “Do we still have that rule where one member can hold up an item?” We think the board should consider a new rule: Only the members who know it’s called personal privilege can invoke it.

Expect a running attack It has been said that 95 percent of college coaches want their teams to be able to run the football. Mike Leach is on the fence. Let us assume that somebody on the Tennessee staff knows how to develop a running attack. There is no positive proof but it just seems logical. These people get paid a lot to know all about the game. They have extensive experience. Let us believe Tennessee wants a running attack. If nothing else, it is embarrassing to be floundering around at the bottom of college rushing statistics. A decent running attack would improve the chances of winning an occasional game. Of course coaches want to win. All contracts include bowl bonuses. Success is at serious risk if you can’t make a first down on third and one. All that said, there must be other reasons why Tennessee has been so awful at running the football. Basic ingredients in run-

ning for gains are philosophy, scheme, blockers, technique, tailbacks, determination, play selection, threat of a pass and how tough are opposing tackles and linebackers. 2010 Philosophy: Derek Dooley and his offensive coordinator, Jim Chaney, looked at available offensive players two years ago and decided what they could probably do best was throw and catch. They charted a course. The emphasis for linemen was to protect the quarterback. 2010 Talent: By the time Tyler Bray became the starting quarterback and young receivers blended in with three veterans, the pass-first concept made some sense. Perhaps it was too much to ask the green-as-grass of-
fensive line to walk and chew gum at the same time. 2010 Results: Nothing to shout about. The Vols came up short against Florida, LSU, Georgia, Alabama and South Carolina – and almost lost to UAB. They aced November but lost December. 2011 Philosophy: Let us do what we were doing only better. Throw the football. Tauren Poole’s mostly insignificant 1,034 yards as a junior runner must have been an accident. 2011 Talent: Poole wasn’t bad at tailback but there wasn’t much behind him. Freshman offensive linemen were suddenly sophomores. They might be pretty good. Wasn’t it Tennessee that once had Flamin’ Sophomores? 2011 Results: Sorry, no fire. One SEC victory, by the grace of God, over Vanderbilt, in overtime. Dooley summation: “At some point you just say we aren’t very good at running the ball. How many times can you get asked, ‘What’s wrong

Loopers for lunch NATURE NOTES | Dr. Bob Collier
W
e had an uninvited guest at dinner just the other night. Well, uninvited to me; unwelcome to Grandma. Upon aiming for my first bite of salad, I spied something walking down the right sleeve of my shirt. Not walking, exactly, either, but getting along by a mode of travel the caterpillar people call “looping” – front feet out and down, bring the back ones up, repeat. Yep, a nice, vigorous inchworm was heading down the sleeve, trying to get to the salad bowl ahead of me. They must be fond of salad. We recalled an episode when I found an inchworm in my salad at the now long-gone Olive Garden on Merchant Drive. Just sat him over on a nearby potted fig tree, and continued to eat the salad, so as not to cause a fuss. Anyhow, caterpillars make butterflies, so after dinner I got out my trusty “Field Guide to the Caterpillars of Eastern North America” by David L. Wagner, an excellent guide, full of illustrations that just aren’t in the usual butterfly books. I hoped to find just what inchworms morphed into after their worm stage. As is the usual case with things I decide to check into, what I knew paled into insignificance compared with what the field guide knew. First, there wasn’t an inchworm: there were photos of 84 different species of them, with a reference to a U.S. Forest Service bulletin showing 187 species of them. And then, to add to my feelings of inadequate savvy, the book said that inchworms don’t even turn into butterflies; they all become moths! Now, all the butterflies and moths are in the order of insects called Lepidoptera. There are around 11,230 species of Lepidopterans in North America. By far, the most familiar Lepidopterans
are the spectacular, colorful butterflies. But there are only 760 species of butterflies and the remaining 10,470 species are moths. All those inchworms? They turn into part of that horde of 10,000 species of North American moths as adults. So do a bunch of other familiar “worms”: the troublesome tobacco hornworm, the dreaded tomato hornworm and all those tent caterpillars that are munching on your cherry trees right now. If moths outnumber butterflies by nearly 14 to 1, how come we see so few of them? One main reason is that moths are mostly nocturnal, going about their lives on the 11-7 shift, so that even the big spectacular ones are rarely seen. And then, over half the moths are in a group called “microlepidopterans,” are very small and inconspicuous and have lifestyles that keep them hidden and out of sight. Think clothes moths, eating your favorite wool sweater. But back to the inchworms. As a group, they are masters of camouflage and disguise. Their colors are mottled or striped browns and grays, and they sport various bumps and knobs to make them look remarkably like sticks and twigs. One, the camouflaged looper, actually attaches little bits of leaves or blossoms to its body for disguise; they should be the envy of any turkey hunter, trying his best to look like a tree. But this is spring migration time! So this quote from the field guide really caught my eye: “In terms of abundance and biomass, loopers are among the most important forest lepidopterans in eastern North America. They are an especially important component of the spring caterpillar fauna of deciduous forests, where they are the staple in the diets of many forest-nesting birds.” Well, there you have it! Inchworms are warbler food! All those
little worms that are riddling the new tree leaves with holes, and dangling in front of your eyes on threads attached to some twig higher above, plus all those scores of species of inchworms, are amazingly timed to hatch out just as the fresh green leaves appear. Which in turn, at least in an average year, happens to be just when all those hungry, migratory birds are arriving here for the season or fueling up to continue to nesting places farther north. Biologists tell us that if the birds didn’t show up for some reason, many or most of the trees would actually be defoliated by the millions of worms per acre munching away at them. This year, it will be interesting to see how it goes, with the leaves and worms coming out two or three weeks ahead of the main waves of migrant birds. It’s that glorious time of year when birders around these parts rejoice and head out the door with a gleam in their eye. Excellent birding sites abound. This year, try some birding at the Halls Community Park, Schumpert Park, Ijams Nature Center, House Mountain, Eagle Bend Fish Hatchery or Cove Lake State Park. Don’t forget the Smokies and the Blue Ridge Parkway. Another great spot is the Sharp’s Ridge Park. It is a nationally-recognized migrant area that often has scarlet tanagers, Baltimore orioles and more than a dozen species of wood warblers in a single morning. Again this year, there will be a series of Thursday morning bird walks led by birder Tony Headrick, accompanied by numerous friendly and beginner-helpful members of the Knoxville Bird Club. Walks will leave from the parking area at the old ranger’s house at 8 a.m. on April 12, 19 and 26 and May 3. You may call Tony’s cell at 621-9836 for information or directions. The big annual Knoxville Bird Walk, which happens each year during the Dogwood Arts Festival, will begin at the J.B. Owen Overlook on Sharp’s Ridge at 8 a.m. Saturday, April 21. Beginners are welcome and encouraged to attend. Be sure to bring a pair of binoculars! The next time you encounter an inchworm, please be nice to it. It is important and high-quality bird food!
I know not how CROSS CURRENTS | Lynn Hutton “Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here, but has risen.” (Luke 24:5b) I know not how that Calvary’s cross A world from sin could free: I only know its matchless love Has brought God’s love to me. I know not how that Joseph’s tomb Could solve death’s mystery: I only know a living Christ, Our immortality. (“I Know Not How,” Harry Webb Farrington)
A
s I write this, we are still deep in Holy Week. The gloom gathers, and the shouts of “Hosanna!” darken to the cries of “Crucify him!” The clouds are dark, both figuratively and literally. The lightning flashes and the thunder rolls, and water pours from the skies. There are epic tornadoes in Texas, with 18-wheelers whirling in the air like matchbox cars tossed by a child’s hand. The world weeps. The first time I took notice of this pattern of natural phenomena, I was in high school. An earthquake of calamitous proportions shook Alaska on Good Friday. Forty-four years after that earthquake I was there, in that magnificent, astounding landscape, seeing with my own eyes scars that had been left on the land. I understand the unease of nature in spring. I know that the transition from winter to spring is a turbulent time. However, to my mind at least, these storms, this unease of nature, are echoes of the events of Holy Week. Surrounding the events of Good Friday and Easter morn-
ing, Scripture tells of clouds, darkness and earthquakes. Nature responded to the drama that was being played out in Judea. However, all of this sound and fury was simply prelude. The storm and the darkness, the cry of dereliction and the death are but Acts I and II. Then there is the entr’acte: the burial and the sad, silent Sabbath. The sun rises on the third day, and nothing – nothing! – is ever the same. Those of us who have always lived on this side of Easter have trouble grasping the impact of that morning. We have known the end of the story since we were children. But for the women at the tomb, for the mourning disciples hiding behind locked doors, for all those who had hoped he was the One sent from God, the angels’ message that “He is not here, but has risen” was wonderful, ridiculous, incredible, absurd, unbelievable, fantastic, joyous, worldchanging, life-giving news. And it still is, dear friends. It still is. He lives! Happy Easter!

With HealthSpring,
Eric West repairs a car during the 2011 Inasmuch United Knoxville. Members of 32 local churches will participate in this year’s event Saturday, April 21. Photo submitted
Churches to join for day of service By Wendy Smith There will be strange things happening around Knoxville on Saturday, April 21. Expect free car washes, neighborhood carnivals or folks passing out smoke detectors. Less obvious happenings will be quiet acts of service to our most needy neighbors. It’s all part of Inasmuch U n i t e d K nox v i l le , the local event of the national nonprof it Operation I n a smuc h. Members David Crocker of 32 local churches will pitch in, and more than 2,000 volunteers are expected to participate, says David Crocker, executive director of Operation Inasmuch, which is based in Knoxville. Crocker was a pastor in Fayetteville, N.C., when he worked with other church leaders to put together a one-day event designed to get church members out of the pew and into the community in 1995. When he became senior pastor at Central Baptist Church in Fountain City in 2002, he continued to have a heart for compassion ministry. He stepped down in
2006 to devote himself to the nonprofit full time. While some Christians are turned off by the idea of a one-day event, the idea is to “draw in people who sit very comfortably on the sidelines.� Within a typical church, most of the work is done by 20 percent of the congregation. But Operation Inasmuch events are geared toward the other 80 percent, he says. Crocker travels across the country to train churches on how to conduct events like Inasmuch United Knoxville. His first task is to stimulate a vision of what could happen if the majority of members would participate in a day of ministry. Then, he helps with logistics, like how to find projects, organize volunteers and promote the event. In preparation for Knoxville’s event, three dozen local agencies were contacted ahead of time so projects could be planned. Some were large agencies, like Knox Area Rescue Ministry and Volunteer Ministry Center. But others were small, like Agape Outreach Homes. “We’re trying to spread it out a bit, to get as many people to help as possible,� he says. Another goal is to acquaint church members
with new service opportunities. Sometimes, they get hooked. “There’s nothing like exposing people to real need.� Crocker sees a nationwide trend toward compassion ministry over the last 15 to 20 years. Operation Inasmuch and other similar models have changed the way churches are working in the community. He’s encouraged by it. “God is doing this. And there’s no better place to be in the world than where God is working.� He is frustrated by churches that claim their membership is too busy to participate in community service. Some Christians say they can’t help because they’re too old. To them, he says, “Oh, yes, you can. You may not be able to get on a roof, but you can do something else.� “We’re all called, regardless of our age or situation, to do compassion ministry. So it behooves us to find something we can do.� For information about participation in Inasmuch United Knoxville, call David Crocker at 951-2511.

HALLS/FOUNTAIN CITY SHOPPER-NEWS • APRIL 9, 2012 • A-9
Cian Bell’s ‘raw talent’ steals his scene By Betty Bean Casting the part of Gavroche, the tough, endearing street urchin in the musical “Les Misérables,” is one of those decisions that a director has to get right. It’s not the biggest role, but when skillfully done, Gavroche tugs the heartstrings like no other. That’s why it’s extraordinary that it took Beckye Thomas, the acclaimed director of the Central High School Choral Department, only one audition to find her Gavroche for the production that debuts Friday, April 13, in the school auditorium. Gavroche dies, but straight-A Fountain City Elementary School 5th grader Cian Bell, 10, kills. “Our Gavroche is just raw talent – very intelligent, very enthusiastic, very quick to learn. He steals the show quite often during rehearsal and he is a delight to work with. He has studied on his own and knows every song in the show – not just his.” Cian got his chance thanks to his older sister,
Cade, a freshman member of the Central High Concert Choir. “When our students learned that we would be doing Les Mis this spring, Cade told her family, and Cian took it upon himself to get involved with the story and the music. Cade basically told me ‘My brother wants to audition.’ I said ‘Bring him.’ “We put a wireless mic on him and he proceeded to take charge, not blink an eye and give 150 percent. The high school students had dropped jaws and from that point, I knew that every Gavroche wannabe would probably pale in comparison.” Cian, whose first name is Gaelic and is pronounced “Kee-an,” is the son of Carol and Greg Bell, who are deeply involved in the Les Mis production. Last week, for example, Greg combed through the Goodwill store to find a Cian-suitable street urchin costume for dress rehearsal. Carol brings him to rehearsals and says that
‘Les Miserables’ at CHS
The Central High School Choral Department’s production of Les Misérables will start its eightperformance run at 7 p.m. Friday, April 13. Subsequent performances will be Saturday, April 14; Sunday, April 15; Tuesday, April 17; Thursday, April 19; Friday, April 20; Saturday, April 21,and Sunday, April 22. The starting time is 7 p.m. for all but the two Sunday shows, which begin at 2: 30 p.m. All performances are in the Central High School auditorium. Tickets are $15 ($10 for students and senior citizens). Info: www. knoxcentralchoral.com or 689-1428.
while she’s not quite sure where Cian got his perfect pitch, she loves to watch him rehearse, with the exception of one scene – the one where Gavroche is shot to death at the barricades. “It gives me thrills just watching him, but the death scene just rips me up. He’s shot four times in the battle and he has to sing as he’s dying.” Cian loves to write, ride his bike around the neighborhood and dress up to act. Last Halloween, he had his parents buy him a tuxedo on eBay so he could dress up as James Bond. He has been in numerous musical plays at Laurel Avenue Church of Christ, and he sang the Beatles song “Eleanor Rigby” in a talent contest at school. Les Mis is the biggest production he’s ever been involved with, and he confesses to being “a little bit” nervous – not that it shows. He loves working around the big, professional-grade sets and says that the high school kids treat him “really good.” He’s happy to be doing it. “At first, after I researched it, I said ‘I probably want this part,’ and then my sister went out on a limb for me and asked Ms. Thomas about it. I tried out and they said I was hired,” he said. And the rest is about to become history. Carol Bell says Cade has been Cian’s agent and voice coach. She finds out what days he needs to be at rehearsal
EXCITING NIGHT OF GOSPEL MUSIC

and organizes his schedule. Beckye Thomas, who has 82 performers to oversee in this elaborate, complex musical, says she has great confidence in her 10-yearold star.
“I have six young Cosettes from various elementary schools, ranging in age from 8-10. Ordinarily I would have at least had an understudy for Gavroche, but I don’t. Now, when I say

Carpool to School Day is Friday By Jake Mabe If you’re a Halls High student, and you drive to school, listen up a minute. I’ll make it quick and I promise it will be painless. No lectures. Just a chat. One of your fellow students, senior Zoe Holcomb, is a member of the Knoxville/Knox County Mayors’ Youth Action Council. She serves on the council’s environmental affairs committee along with representatives from West, South-Doyle and Farragut high schools. Zoe says during the past year the committee has been trying to think of something to do to help the environment. They rejected recycling because of its cost and she says nobody really wanted to compost. So, they have come up
with Carpool to School Day. It happens this Friday (April 13). Here’s how it works: If you have a car and drive to school, get together with your friends, pile as many of them as you safely can into one vehicle and carpool. Zoe says the school with the fewest drivers that day (it will be based on a percentage) will win. And don’t we – I say we because, yep, I’m an alum – always want to be the No. 1 Knox County high school in all the right ways? Darn right we do. Halls Has It! (No, I haven’t quite figured out what the “it” is, either. But I digress.) Zoe says the prize hasn’t been worked out yet, but the winning school will be recognized in some way. Plus, it’s
for a good cause. “We thought this would be a great way to help the environment, plus (principal Mark) Duff has made keeping the campus clean his (priority) this year,” Zoe says. Oh, and by the way, Zoe’s pretty darn cool. She’s going to Tusculum College after graduation to major in psychology and minor in business administration. She says after attending Passion in Atlanta she decided she also wants to help victims of human trafficking. That’s pretty darn noble, if you ask me. So, do Zoe a favor and, more importantly, give the air a break from carbon monoxide on Friday. Pile into a car with your pals and have some fun. Beat those other schools and show them why Halls really has it.

Hunter had no car wash experience before he joined Synergy, but he’d successfully owned and operated Hunter Brothers Deli in Halls Crossroads for decades.

In turn, Hunter hired employees who may not have car wash experience, but who are clean-cut, personable and committed to doing a great job every time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What is (Hunterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s) biggest asset to this company is the way heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trained these guys,â&#x20AC;? said Davis. Davisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother, Jolene, works behind the register. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People love her,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People come to this car wash just to see her.â&#x20AC;? Now, Davis says seven out of 10 customers are returns or referrals. Even though itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gotten him some complaints, Davis is committed to what he calls â&#x20AC;&#x153;the Chick-fil-A conceptâ&#x20AC;? of closing shop on Sundays to give his employees a day to rest and spend with family. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Would we make more money if we were open Sundays? Yes. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably an expensive investment, but ultimately itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth it to me to make sure my guys are taken care of,â&#x20AC;? he said. Before opening Synergy, Davis spent two years researching the car wash industry. He said Synergy has grown twice as fast as he expected. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If someone will come here once, we will have them as a customer for life,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a great group of employees who really, truly care. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to find that.â&#x20AC;? Synergy Auto Wash is located at 10500 Kingston Pike. Info: 297-3403 or www. SynergyAutoWash.com.
News from Office of Register of Deeds
Real estate sales improve in March By Sherry Witt The weather isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the o n l y thing that warmed up during the month of March. Even as rec ord- setting temperatures Witt bathed East Tennessee, the local real estate market emerged from the winter season with a healthy spring surge. For the month that ended on Friday, March 30, there were 681 property transfers in Knox County. That was a jump of 167 from the month of February and 32 parcels ahead of the pace from March 2011.
March produced total land sales of $110.7 million, compared to about $89 million a month ago. Preliminary analysis of the first quarter data indicates that 2012 is slightly behind 2011 in terms of the aggregate value of property sold. Since Jan. 1, about $288 million worth of property has sold in Knox County, compared to $320 million during the first quarter of 2011. Lending markets were rather robust in March, with more than $312 million loaned against property in Knox County, making it the strongest month since December when a large amount of money was refinanced by Tennova Health Systems.
Perhaps the most notable transfer was for commercial property known as The Shops at Turkey Creek. The sale brought $4.3 million. On the lending side, the largest refinance was by Scripps Media in the amount of $22.95 million against the property located on News-Sentinel Drive. Another transaction in the amount of $18.3 million involved the Sherrill Hills Retirement Community. I would like to say thanks to everyone who participated in the recent primary elections. By exercising your right to vote, you are helping to honor and protect one of our most sacred privileges.
Super Savers at New South Ainsley and Brendan Russell are the first Super Savers at New South Credit Union. The Kids Club at New South provided each member with a punch card last year and challenged the kids to make a minimum $5 savings deposit each month. Each deposit earns the kids a prize and a punch on the card. Those who make a deposit each month earn a T-shirt and an extra $10 in their savings accounts.

All thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s old can be new again at Modern Supply There are lots of old things weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re fond of: old friends, old movies, old songs. But old bathrooms? Not so much. Mostly, old bathrooms are ugly to look at and downright inconvenientâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;especially when compared to the many gorgeous designs and state-of-the-art cabinets, vanities, and fixtures available at Modern Supply, just off Lovell Road. You may live in a mid-century subdivision home, a turn-of-the century Victorian or even an older structure whose charm and character you want to preserve, but hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s betting that sense of historic preservation doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t apply to the bathrooms. In a recent remodel of a local 70â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bathroom, Modern Supply design consultant, Sherry Williams, helped the homeowner select products to transform a small master bath into an updated and more efficient space. Starting with a neutral palette, an Armstrong cabinet, with ample storage, was selected and topped with a cultured marble sink and counter top. Deltaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Linden faucet in Venetian bronze complements the marble counter top and is an environmentally-friendly WaterSense labeled product. Towel bars and a tissue holder from Liberty Hardware are finished in oil rubbed bronze and coordinate with the faucet. A pretty vanity light from Minka-Lavery was hung over the stylish round mirror. The owners choose to replace the tub with a large tiled shower complete with bench and shelvesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a better choice for the home ownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lifestyle. A Basco glass shower door keeps the small space open and airy and features a towel bar. A Delta integrated showerhead and detachable handshower feature In2ition technology. The In2ition shower features a detachable handshower, which can run separately from or simultaneously with the showerhead, giving the flexibility of two streams
Deltaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Linden faucet in VenetianÂŽ Bronze
Before: 70â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s style of water at once. In addition, the In2ition has a pause function reducing water to a trickle. This is a great way to conserve water while youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re lathering up or shaving your legs! A new comfort height elongated toilet was installed. It featured a powerful but quiet 1.6 gallons per flush performance which is a considerable water-savings over the old model.

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER
NICHE focuses on health care needs of elderly Nurses Improving Care for Health System Elders (NICHE) is an innovative program designed to enhance the care of older adults. NICHE is a nationwide effort to better meet the unique health care needs of aging adults across America. Covenant Health is proud to be the first health care system in the state, and the only one in East Tennessee, to bring the specialized services that NICHE offers to Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center. Stan Boling, Covenant Health’s vice president of senior services, explains, “The care of the older adult presents a different set of challenges that all health care team members should be aware of, and should assess on admission, “Multiple chronic illnesses and reduced function, both physical and during the acute care stay and all cognitive, accompany the older adult patient into the acute-care stay the way through to the discharge and can affect post-discharge success,” he says. “The health care team needs to become expert in anticipating geriatric syndromes, in using setting.
“The care of older adult patients presents a different set of challenges. …” – Stan Boling, Covenant Health Senior Services state-of-the-art assessment tools and procedures based on sound integration of the NICHE program.” NICHE provides nurses with specialized training related to common health problems of older adults.

Exercise rules for seniors Experts recommend that, as an older adult, you: ■ Contact your physician first before starting an exercise program. ■ Always wear appropriate safety gear. If you bike, for instance, use a bike helmet. ■ Wear appropriate shoes for each sport. ■ Warm up before exercise. ■ Exercise for at least 30 minutes a day. ■ Exercise with a buddy. ■ Never increase your activity (distance walked or weight lifted) by more than 10 percent a week. ■ Avoid the same routine two days in a row to work different muscles. Walk, swim, play tennis or lift weights. Different activities work different muscles. ■ Stop exercising if you experience severe pain or swelling and contact your physician.
Love your aging skin! By Anne Marie Rodgers, enterostomal therapist, Fort Sanders Regional Skin trivia : Did you know? ■ The skin is the largest human organ, covering nearly 25 square feet. ■ Skin makes up about 15 percent of our body weight. ■ Humans shed and replace outer skin cells every 27 days. ■ With aging this replacement of the outer skin cells takes longer. ■ By the age of 70 an average person will have lost 105 pounds of skin. As we get older, understanding the ins and outs of aging skin care becomes more important. Here are some tips about aging skin care to keep in mind: First, aging skin care is not just
about looking younger. The goal is to make sure your skin has all the nutrients it needs to be healthy. As we grow older, our body produces less of what our skin needs to keep from getting flaky and brittle. It is up to us to change the way we take care of our skin to compensate for that loss. For example, your current soap may cleanse well, but do nothing to replenish necessary nutrients your skin needs. It may actually remove essential elements that older skin no longer produces in excess. Changing to a gentler soap may be part of your skin care regimen. It’s also important to avoid the use of hot water and excessive friction. Environmental factors such as low humidity and cold air lead to dry skin. Moisturizing dry skin helps keep the skin more supple,
lessening the chance of the skin cracking and reducing the possibility of injury from trauma. Apply moisturizers twice a day to slightly moist skin to get the most benefit. What you eat may help your skin age better. Our skin, like any of our organs, needs vitamins and nutrients to be healthy. As we age, we need more of certain elements to keep our skin supple and healthy. Daily suggestions can be found on the Modified Food Pyramid for Seniors. Any dietary changes or supplements should be made with approval of your physician. Recognize what a dynamic organ the skin is throughout your life span and appreciate the skin you’re in! Realize that you have the ability to protect and maintain your skin integrity.

Motorcycle ride to benefit Autism Society What began as an idea to raise awareness and some funds for The Autism Society has grown and this year will celebrate its seventh season. Danny Huffakerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dream was personal because he has a son with Aspergerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s syndrome, a form of autism. Huffaker wanted to help the community understand autism and its effects on individuals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Being a rider myself, I know the generosity of the motorcyclist community. They are very supportive of anything for children and more so when it involves someone they know personally.â&#x20AC;? The event, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coast in for Autism,â&#x20AC;? is a motorcycle ride that begins at Harley Davidson on Clinton Highway and ends at Coyote Joeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. The name of the ride came from the knowledge that loud noises affect children with autism and riders are encouraged to coast in at the end of the ride. Parents and their children with autism will be at Coyote Joeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so riders are able to meet them and see who their donations benefit. The Coast in for Autism

The donation to participate is $25 for a single rider and $35 for two riders and will include a specially designed event shirt and a chance at great door prizes. All proceeds are donated to The Autism Society of East Tennessee. Over the years, the weather has ranged from sunny and warm to blustery, rain and even snow. Weather doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop Huffaker from riding each year. The ride is important to him because autism is the fastest growing serious developmental disability in the United States and there is no medical cure. Info: Danny Huffaker, 660-8413.
