Knox County Department of Engineering and Public Works will hold a public meeting at 9 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 17, at First Comforter Church, 5516 Old Tazewell Pike, to discuss traffic calming for Old Tazewell Pike.

By Sandra Clark If it’s fall it must be time for the Oakes Farm Corn Maze.

This North Knox County attraction gets better every year.

First, it’s much more than a maze.

For the youngest kids there are sand piles, swings and a room-sized box of shelled corn to play in. We spotted one kid trying to do the backstroke in the corn. For the toddlers to school-aged youngsters there’s a huge bouncy pillow, king of the hill in sand and tractor tires, and a neat petting zoo.

Teenagers can get lost in the 9-acre corn maze. You can hear others, but can’t see them through the dense

Tennova sponsors breast screenings October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and Tennova Healthcare is encouraging women to get screened for the disease.

Tennova is offering a “Think Pink for Breast Cancer Detection” mammogram special at eight locations. Hours are 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., and appointments are necessary by calling 865-545-7771.

Area dates and locations are:

Oct. 21 – Physicians Regional Medical Center, 900 E. Oak Hill Ave.; Oct. 22 – North Knoxville Medical Center, 7565 Dannaher Drive, Powell; Oct. 29 – Tennova South, 7323 Chapman Highway; Oct. 30 – LaFollette Medical Center, 923 E. Central Ave., LaFollette.

One in eight women will be

diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime. Breast cancer is the second-leading cause of cancerrelated death among women in Tennessee. Although the causes of breast cancer are still unknown, there are many factors including advancing age and family history that may increase someone’s risk for breast cancer.

“Mammograms save lives,” said

Janine Mingie, director of the Tennova Breast Centers at North Knoxville Medical Center and Turkey Creek Medical Center.

“Today, thanks to early detection and treatment advances, women are surviving breast cancer and living longer, healthier lives.”

The American Cancer Society recommends women have yearly mammograms starting at age 40.

DeBusk charms readers at Sarah Moore Greene

By Sandra Clark We know Pete and Cindi DeBusk have a big house. We know Pete founded DeRoyal Industries which now employs some 1,800 people worldwide. We know he’s led Lincoln Memorial University into the modern era with satellite campuses, medical and law schools, and $118 million operating budget.

We probably don’t know the story he told six kids at Sarah Moore Greene Magnet Academy last week.

The kids already knew some of what he said. For a month they had read and discussed his biography, “The Rabbit’s Got the Gun,” at the authors club, an after-school enrichment project sponsored by Shopper News.

Your parents move a lot? Pete attended 13 schools before his high school graduation.

Don’t have much money? Pete said most days his best meal was his school lunch.

Have trouble fitting in? Pete grew to 6-3 in high school and had red hair.

chairmanship of an international corporation and a major regional university?

Call it smarts, luck, tenacity.

Call it a drive to the top, propelled perhaps by a touch of anger. Whatever your answer, Pete shared his story with six kids at SMG, and

that story could change their lives.

“How long did it take to write this book?” asked Yasmine Shuler.

Perceptively, she had brought DeBusk a gift – a felt money holder with a $100 Ben Franklin imprint and a beautiful flat rock inside.

“Two years,” said Pete. “I had a

ghost-writer, Dr. Sylvia Lynch.”

“Why did you do it?”

“I’ve got seven kids,” said Pete.

“Someday I’ll have great, great grandkids. I wrote the book so they will know who I am and why I did this.”

A peek inside

historic Parkridge

Pete DeBusk From page 1 “What about the book’s name?” asked another.

The rabbit’s got the gun is an Appalachian metaphor for the underdog taking charge; for the hunted becoming the hunter.

The kids will look for Appalachian metaphors in the other books we read this year. Pete’s book is littered with them. At one point he says, “I might have stretched the blanket,” referring to an embellishment.

He writes of a Donald Trump moment when he brought a banker through his fledgling factory. He stacked empty boxes to the ceiling to give the appearance of prosperity.

He writes of hiring a guy to push a pile of dirt from one side of a hill to another while the LMU board met with officials from the osteopathic medical school credentialing association.

Finally, one asked, “What’s going on up there?”

Pete answered, “Why, we’re building a medical school.”

Pete built his business by seeing needs and fi lling them; same way everybody builds a business. Being tall and charismatic didn’t hurt. He’s not afraid to run a bluff.

At age 73, DeBusk is slowing, but his teeth still show when he talks about suing the American Bar Association. Who does that?

And when he talks about growing LMU to a $200 million annual budget. And when the SMG assistant principal tells him she got her master’s and Ed.S. degrees from LMU, why his smile positively lights the room.

Six kids just met a legend.

By Ruth White The Historic Parkridge Neighborhood will host a 1945-Era Home Tour 1-6 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 25. Present-day Parkridge encompasses the early Edgewood subdivision, which contains many houses built by George Barber, a 19th-century Victorian house architect. This tour features a variety of homes with a focus on occupants during the Swing era, immediately after World War II. Tour guests will learn about this history as they explore eight open houses and three homes in the Park Place condominiums as WWII living historians help set the ambiance. Following the tour, Park Place will open up the condos, and swing dancing with period music will be offered in its gymnasium at 6 p.m. Ticket holders may participate in the dancing at no additional cost.

The homes on tour span the eras from the 1890s to around 1945 and are good examples of the ongoing revitalization of the neighborhood.

In addition, a walking tour of 20 homes not open to the public will be included. The walking tour will focus on the history of the homes and their occupants in 1945.

Tickets are $10 per person in advance and $12 the day of the event. Children under 12 are admitted free. Parking is available at Ashley Nicole Park, 620 Winona St. Advance tickets are available at K-Brew, Saw Works Brewery, Three Rivers Market and parkridgecommunity.wordpress.com; day-of tickets may be purchased until 4 p.m. at Ashley Nicole Park.

Walking is necessary, and many houses have steps. Parkridge is a bike-friendly neighborhood, and tour-goers are welcome to ride bicycles. Info: historicparkridge@gmail.com or 865-951-6614.

A-4 • OCTOBER 14, 2015 • HALLS/FOUNTAIN CITY Shopper news

Diversity efforts not all the same State Rep. Martin Daniel of Knoxville has released figures showing that the University of Tennessee is spending $2,549,882 on diversity programs. Of this amount $1,667,195 is at the Knoxville campus.

Some totals suggest it exceeds over $4 million on all UT campuses.

The request for this information was generated by the recent controversy on the “gender neutral” pronouns published on the UT Office of Diversity webpage. Vice Chancellor Ricky Hall, who oversees diversity, is paid $217,252 including benefits. In the recent controversy over gender-neutral pronouns use, Hall was seldom if ever mentioned, even though it occurred on his watch in his area of authority.

One has to wonder where he was when this issue triggered national news?

Instead, UT President Joe DiPietro, who normally shuns involvement in purely campus issues, assumed command of the issue and ordered the offending words removed from the university website after a few days. It is unclear whether DiPietro even spoke to Hall on this issue.

This is the same UT president who a few months earlier had written a piece for the News Sentinel outlining his reasons for not getting involved in the Lady Vols name-change controversy on the grounds it was a UT-Knoxville campus issue. It was a matter for Chancellor Jimmy Cheek and Athletic Director Dave Hart to resolve, even though it has generated 25,000 signatures on an online petition and a letter to the UT Board signed by over one-third of the General Assembly.

The pronoun issue created a national outrage that caused DiPietro to reverse course and move quickly to end the controversy, which could have handled

by Chancellor Cheek or Vice Chancellor Hall acting alone or together. Board members were caught off guard.

While the pronoun controversy has ended, the fiscal issue continues on the very valid matter of how many tax dollars should be spent on diversity.

Diversity is a worthwhile issue and should be discussed. In the American system, diversity has a valid role. Diversity should

Victor Ashe

be promoted, but does it require $2.5 million a year to do it? It is legitimate to question the amount being spent, as Daniel has stated.

Over 30 employees on the Knoxville campus alone are pushing this. The gender-neutral pronoun memo was one of their achievements. Easily discarded, one could assume this was a waste of tax dollars and not required by federal law.

What does this office do?

My own governmental experience tells me that anytime $2.5 million is being spent, there is an easy 20 percent that could be shaved off with little impact.

UT spokesperson Margie Nichols says it is mostly to comply with federal regulations. That is the UT line, and they are sticking to it. Well, citizens and legislators should ask UT to explain precisely what federal regulations require such a cost.

If UT cut staff from 30 to 15, what would suffer?

Why do individual colleges have their diversity officers in addition to the campus office? That includes the Law School, the College of Engineering, Haslam College of Business, College of Veterinary Medicine and College of Arts and Sciences, to name several. Can this not be streamlined and consolidated to save costs?

The trustees and/or UT staff may have to answer these questions or face a legislative inquiry. Some at UT resent Daniel raising these issues, but saving money is good for taxpayers if it results in that.

■ Denark Construction, a very successful Knoxville firm led ably by Raja Jubran, celebrates its 30th anniversary on Oct. 16 with an event at the Historic Tennessee Theatre. Jubran is vice chair of the UT Board of Trustees, which makes him the governor’s point person on the board on many issues. With headquarters on Western Avenue, Denark has been very active in support for many civic projects over the past 30 years.

Time for a new tune at the school board

One of the strongest arguments for appointing school superintendents is that doing so removes them from the dirty business of politics, which is left instead to the elected school board, which hires, fires and oversees the superintendent.

That’s a tidy plan, but it won’t work if the board declines to do its statutory duty. And that’s what’s happening in Knox County, balloons and confetti cannons and Exemplary School District status notwithstanding.

Take Bearden High School, for example. In August, this newspaper broke the story that Bearden’s Tennessee Value Added Assessment Score – the beall, end-all gold standard for the data-driven bunch in charge of education – had plunged from Level 5 to Level 1 in 2014-15. This news was accompanied by anecdotal evidence of high teacher turnover rates and difficulties with “one-to-

Betty Bean one” technology, raising questions that begged answers – but not, evidently, in the view of the school board, which has remained curiously silent.

Add this to the controversy over the forced resignation of Bearden’s successful, popular softball coach, Leonard Sams, which had already reached the boiling point by the time the TVAAS scores became known, and it would seem that someone on the board might have wondered what the heck was going on at Bearden.

But when Bearden parents, players and boosters asked the board to put the matter on its agenda, what they got was crickets, except for insinuations that the coach knows why he

was fired. Meanwhile, a once-successful program is in turmoil and boosters are stuck with the cost of a new practice facility because fundraising dried up with Sams’ departure.

Earlier in the summer, communities like Copper Ridge and Mt. Olive were rocked by the non-renewal of popular, successful teachers Christina Graham and Gloria Ray-Scheberle, neither of whom had taught long enough in Knox County to qualify for tenure. Parents came the school board seeking help, or at least answers.

Again, crickets.

Maybe this “never apologize, never explain” tactic was developed after the 2011 public pillorying of Joel Helton, longtime head football coach at Central High School, whose suspension was announced via a Friday press release over an allegation that he had menaced a female student

with a stick.

When that charge proved meritless, Superintendent James McIntyre’s investigation turned into a fishing expedition in an attempt to nail Helton, who was allowed to return to work the following year – at Farragut High School – while McIntyre publicly announced that he would never again be allowed to coach in Knox County. The episode left deep wounds in Fountain City that only began to heal after the new Central High principal, Michael Reynolds, and coach, Bryson Rosser, reached out to Helton, who had been stricken with cancer and had only months to live.

In all these cases, and more, citizens went to their school board for answers and got stonewalled by a board whose theme song is “Stand By Your Man.” It’ll probably take one more election cycle for them to learn a new tune.

FBI hears complaints, praise East Knox residents brought a parade of complaints and praise to a panel of Knox law enforcement chiefs in a public forum sponsored by the FBI at Austin-East High School last Thursday.

“We need to close the divide between law enforcement and the citizens we serve,” said Edward Reinhold, special agent in charge of the FBI’s Knoxville office, which serves the eastern half of Tennessee. “There have been far too many violent encounters between law enforcement and civilians in recent months.

“As leaders in the law enforcement community, we felt it was necessary that somebody start this conversation.”

Reinhold said the forum was a response to police killings of black men in Ferguson, Missouri; Baltimore, Maryland, and other locations that have led to riots and unrest across the nation.

Several of the attendees responded with stories of their personal mistreatment by local law enforcement officers. One man told of being assaulted by a policeman while he was standing in his own driveway, then being arrested for no reason. Another man complained about an especially vigorous frisking. Theotis Robinson III detailed two stops he experienced that were the result of racial profiling and asked what the agencies were doing to prevent the practice.

David Rausch, chief of the Knoxville Police Department, fielded most of the questions and took

Vivian Shipe, head of the local chapter of the National Alliance of Postal and Federal Employees, warned law enforcement chiefs of increasing racial slurs and threats of violence at the U.S. Postal Service main post office on Weisgarber Road and urged the creation of a threat assessment team at the facility.

notes, promising individual meetings with the people who had complaints.

Questions about employment in law enforcement also surfaced. The heads of the various departments outlined the requirements for hiring in their agencies, and Jessie Brooks, captain of the Knoxville district of the Tennessee Highway Patrol talked about the difficulties in getting applicants for state trooper positions and invited qualified citizens to apply.

Several people had questions about the city’s Police Advisory & Review Committee, its powers and effectiveness. One person asked why there was no PARC for county officers. Another person called for the completion of the proposed safety center for people arrested with mental health or substance abuse issues.

That comment prompted general applause from the gathering.

Rausch said his department did not have a community policing program but instilled a “philosophy of community policing” in the police force. “We want our officers to be in the community before crime occurs.

We want everyone treated right and treated professionally.”

He dodged a question about guns in city parks, noting that a recently filed

Bill Dockery

lawsuit challenging the city of Knoxville’s interpretation of the state law prevented him from commenting on the issue.

Vivian Shipe, president of Local 406 of the National Alliance of Postal and Federal Employees, turned the discussion to race relations at the U.S. Postal Service main post office on Weisgarber Road. She called on the law enforcement chiefs to investigate racist and violent threats before there was a violent incident.

“We have supervisors who use racial slurs on employees. We have workers who are locked out of the post office building solely because they are big black men,” Shipe said. She said one employee was not disciplined for threatening to bring a gun to work and shoot people, a violation of the USPS zero tolerance policy against threats and violence.

“You need to form a threat assessment team before something happens.

We don’t want you to be ask-

ing after the fact were there any signs that tensions were building. We don’t want you running in while employees run out. We want you running in now.”

Monica Reed from the Morningside neighborhood praised the FBI for holding the forum, and Valencia Watson urged citizens to comply with police when stopped.

But black activist David Alex Hayes questioned why the forum was held in competition with another forum on the same topic being held at Payne Avenue Baptist Church. He was also critical of the lack of power given to PARC. In addition to Reinhold, Rausch and Brooks, panelists included Randy Nichols, special counsel to the Knox County Sheriff’s Office; University of Tennessee police chief Troy Lane; Dewayne Johnson, special agent in charge of the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation’s Knoxville office; and Robert Simerly, head of UT Medical Center Security.

DNA marking program could deter crime The company that manufactures intruder DNA spray used to stop repeat breakins at Lee’s Food Mart on Rutledge Pike is trying to get neighborhoods on board with a new program that uses synthetic DNA to mark valuables. If the majority of neighbors sign up, it would be like a putting a shield around a neighborhood, says Johan Larsen of the CSI Protect Program.

Larsen spoke to the Council of West Knox County Homeowners last week.

He described kits that allow homeowners to mark valuables with a glue that contains an ultraviolet tracer and a unique DNA code.

Law enforcement officers can scan recovered items for the glue, which contains microdots − flat, one millimeter dots that are printed with the registered code

said it was clear that the program is a potential tool for homeowners in the continuing fight to protect their Wendy property.

“Even criminals who and the company’s contact flunked kindergarten can information. That informa- read ‘DNA,’ and they’ll bytion links criminals to crime pass those homes,” Larsen scenes and allows victims to said. recover their possessions.

The program, enforcement to effectively tested for four months in Old reduce crime. The price North Knoxville earlier this of the kit, which includes year, resulted in a 70 percent enough glue to mark 30-50 decrease in property crime items as well as signs and compared to the same time stickers for yards, cars and period in 2014.

After the test, Knoxville Captain Robbie Lawson Police Chief David Rausch of the sheriff’s office attend-

ed the meeting. The department regularly disposes of stolen property worth thousands of dollars because owners can’t be identified, he said. Most robbery victims don’t have pictures, receipts or serial numbers they can use to identify their valuables.

He emphasized that the sheriff’s office doesn’t endorse products. But if homeowners associations purchase the kits, the department will buy what is needed to support the program, he said.

Knoxville is the first U.S. city to use DNA marking. The system has been used effectively in Europe since the 1980s, according to Larsen. The company is talking to insurance companies about offering discounts to homeowners who use CSI Protect.

The glue, called SelectaDNA, is non-toxic and long-lasting. It’s also difficult to remove. Larsen recommends putting the glue in hard-to-reach or textured areas to deter criminals from filing it off. The glue wears off rings that are worn daily, so it needs to be

Don’t expect NCAA fame from Vol basketball Don’t expect the developing Tennessee basketball team to tear up the 2016 NCAA tournament. If the Vols surprise, do expect Dave Hart to high-jump for joy and award a large raise and lifetime contract to Rick Barnes.

Alas, there are no streets available for renaming. Perhaps a sidewalk?

Getting something right would be very meaningful to the athletic director. The shadow of getting something wrong still hovers over the basketball neighborhood.

The excitement that was Donnie Tyndall came and went, leaving the Vols without a point guard, definitive big man and go-to scorer.

Winning without those basic elements wouldn’t necessarily mean the invention of a new game but it would un-

Marvin West

derscore the importance of really good coaching.

History says Barnes is a fine coach. That he didn’t win enough to keep the Texas job is puzzling. That the man who fired him has been fired could be one piece of an explanation.

Tennessee is a more difficult challenge than Texas.

With the late start in recruiting, the same thing happened to Barnes that happened to Tyndall. Neither added immediate superstars. Kentucky did. Au-

burn did. Others improved.

Barnes recruited bigger.

Whether new Vols, collectively, equal the dearly departed Josh Richardson is just one of several pressing questions.

Tennessee was 16-16 last season. If this team breaks even, it will be because one newcomer blocks a bunch of shots and Kevin Punter and Armani Moore do more that they have done.

By default, those two may share ball-handling duties, log time as wings and provide leadership.

It helps that Moore is one tough guy and that Punter is versatile and committed.

It helps that Ray Kasongo is 6-9 and an excellent athlete.

Barnes will also need talented Robert Hubbs to emerge as a real basketball player, suddenly capable of guarding somebody his size,

capable of driving to the goal and finishing a shot, capable of an all-around game well above what he has so far demonstrated.

Robert was a five-star prep player.

Derek Reese must be a contributor. He was second last season in rebounding.

Devon Baulkman has ability and leftovers of a shoulder injury. A healthy Jabari McGhee should provide inside depth. He was lost early last season to a foot injury. Sad note: He has shrunk. He was listed at 6-8 as a freshman but is now 6-5.

Detrick Mostella has been a pleasant surprise in workouts. He and Tyndall were unhappy with each other and a transfer seemed likely. Didn’t happen. Barnes says the sophomore scorer is really working to improve.

Kasongo, one of two Canadian recruits, projects as the prize new guy. Officially, he is a raw sophomore transfer from Toronto and College of Southern Idaho with minimum statistics but maximum athletic ability to go with size and strength.

Unofficially, he was shipped to Kentucky for prep basketball experiences at Lick Creek and Pikeville. After that he appeared at two or three finishing schools in far-away places.

He once signed with Oregon but was not admitted. Bigname coaches identified potential and joined the chase.

Kansas and LSU really wanted him. Ben Howland of Mississippi State thought he had him. Tennessee associate head coach Rob Lanier, Buffalo native blessed with several Canadian con-

reapplied, he said.

When deciding what to mark, homeowners should mark anything they want back, Lawson said. Insurance will replace computers or televisions, but some items are irreplaceable.

nections, signed him.

Barnes says Kasongo is learning skill development, basketball IQ, what it means to really work hard.

“He’s a big body, really strong and he will help immediately as a rebounder and rim protector.”

The other Canadian, 6-10 Kyle Alexander, 308 among best prospects, is third best in his family. Kyle’s father, Joseph, was a star at Niagara. Kyle’s sister, Kayla, was an all-American at Syracuse and plays in the WNBA. Kyle figures as a future.

Tyndall signees 6-2 guard Shembari Phillips and 6-5 wing Admiral Schofield are more likely to help immediately. Tyndall’s departure gave them the right to go elsewhere. They stayed, a compliment to UT and Barnes.

Homecoming at Union Baptist

By Cindy Taylor Union Baptist Church of Halls pastor the Rev. Gary Vandergriff invited former member, the Rev. Jim Taylor, to bring the message at the 102nd homecoming celebration of the church Oct. 4. Taylor attended Union Baptist from birth until he moved to Texas to study at Dallas Theological Seminary.

“I remember Jimmy as a quiet young man who was always very respectful to me,” said Vandergriff. “I can remember when God began to do something very special in Jimmy’s life. I am so proud and thankful for Jimmy and his family.”

Taylor, campus pastor at Grace Church SC/Spartanburg, made the trip from

South Carolina with wife Julia and their five children.

Vandergriff has been with the church for more than 30 years and was pastor when Taylor announced his call to the ministry at the age of 16.

“Gary had a huge influence on my life, especially in my coming to faith and love for the scriptures,” said Taylor. “I was converted under his preaching.”

Taylor spoke to the congregation from I Kings 18 about idol worship and how to determine if there are idols in our own lives.

“Idolatry is the worship of anything besides God,” said Taylor. “It is not just something unbelievers do.

We were created for and

have a desire to worship. If we aren’t worshipping the Lord we are going to worship something.”

He talked about how so many members of the church influenced his life during his teen years.

“Homecoming is a time to come back together to remember what God has done in this church and in each of our lives,” he said. “It has been 20 years since I was an active member but I am so grateful for this church.

When I was making a wreck of my life God used so many of you to be gracious to me, to love me in spite of my sin,

to teach me what repentance looks like and show me the love of Christ.”

Union Baptist Church has been undergoing renovations since July. Phase I is completed. The sanctuary remodeling was finished in time for homecoming.

Upholstery and carpet were replaced and more contemporary lighting was installed. The fellowship hall, kitchen and nursery have new laminate flooring.

Phase II is scheduled for the near future.

In case of emergency Following recent incidents of shootings on college campuses and in light of the scares experienced at neighboring schools, students at Halls High School have filled 75 buckets with necessities in case of an emergency.

Ruth White

Members of FCCLA (Family, Career and Community Leaders of America) filled big blue buckets with snacks, bottled water, first aid kits and other items and

will distribute the buckets to each classroom at the school. If an emergency incident were to occur at Halls, items in the buckets would come in handy.

“The students have really been thinking about what’s going on at these other schools and have decided that it’s better to be safe. If students were locked down in a classroom or at the football field, they would have some aid,” said teacher Kathryn Griffin.

The buckets were made possible through the generosity of Walmart, Sysco, Home Depot, Dermatology Associates of Knoxville, Blackmon Pediatrics and Dr. Matthew Rappé. The project

was guided through a committee, including faculty members Martha Wilds, Gwen Mynatt, Morgan Hite and Griffin.

Learning math through movement

By Ruth White Learning math was a struggle for me. It was all fun and games until the algebraic equations began creeping into learning.

Thanks to Math and Movement, students at Fountain City Elementary School were able to learn math in a fun way and receive positive reinforcement. The gym and cafeteria areas were set up with brightly colored mats that helped students learn math and a whole bunch of other things.

Older students were set up in the gym and were able to do multiplication hopscotch, jump to different place values, count by 10s and work on contractions.

Gym teacher Terri Gilbert

FCES teacher Jessica Barner assists Anna Kate Swart with the fraction walk during Math and Movement night at the school.

is all about the movement while learning and was thrilled to be able to offer the activity to her students.

Gilbert incorporates classroom instruction in to her physical education time and encourages her students to continually learn. One of her favorite things to do in gym is to teach the bone song, where students learn 15 bones in the body. Several students stopped by to demonstrate the song and I believe they will remember the song when they are adults.

Kindergarten through second grade students had a great time in the cafeteria learning to count money, count by tens, hopping through the alphabet and learning to read a clock with many fun activities.

Oliver Temple: early Knoxville leader When he was only 27, Oliver Perry Temple came within 316 votes of altering the course of history. Democrat Andrew Johnson was running for the third of his five terms representing East Tennessee’s 1st Congressional District.

Johnson was in his prime and thought to be invincible in the 1847 race. His “stump speeches” were effective in the 1:1 debates then in fashion and he had won previous elections by as many as 1,500 votes.

Temple, representing the Whig party, was still working to establish a law practice when, only three weeks before the election, he was prevailed upon to run for the seat. Landon C. Haynes, another Democrat, had considered the odds and decided not to run against Johnson.

At Jonesboro, only two days before the election, Johnson and Temple engaged in a fierce debate.

Thinking Haynes would be his opponent, Johnson had attempted to appeal to Whig voters by opposing some of the policies of Democrat President James K. Polk, although they were of the same party.

By pointing out Johnson’s inconsistencies within his own party, Temple was able to win over many voters. Johnson won reelection 5,658 to 5,342, the closest of his five successful races for the U.S. Congress (1843-53).

Oliver Temple had captured the attention of the public, and author William Speer would observe, “Temple, defeated as he was, felt that he was half conqueror, and Johnson, though elected, was deeply mortified and humiliated.”

One wonders whether a defeated Andrew Johnson could have recovered to be elected Tennessee’s governor in 1853 and 1855 and a U.S. senator in 1857. Would

HISTORY AND MYSTERIES OLIVER PERRY TEMPLE, PART II (1820-1907) he have been serving as vice president when Abraham Lincoln was assassinated in 1865?

Temple had received a fine education at Tusculum College and Washington College under the famous family of educators, the Doaks, and had read law under one of the finest attorneys in Tennessee. He had attained an elegance of manner and speech that would make him an effective counselor and opinion molder in East Tennessee during those perilous years from 1850-65.

In 1848, after losing the close race to Johnson, the young attorney moved to Knoxville and became a partner in the law firm of the prominent attorney William H. Sneed, who would be elected to the U.S. House of Representatives later.

President Millard Fillmore appointed Temple one of three commissioners to the Indian tribes of Texas, New Mexico and Arizona in 1850 where he gained valuable experience. On related trips to Washington, he became acquainted with Henry Clay, Daniel Webster and others influential in the government.

Soon after he returned to Knoxville in September 1851, he married Scotia C. Hume (1832-89), the daughter of David Hume. Scotia was noted for her winning personality and social graces and the Temple mansion, Melrose, hosted many celebrities over the years, including Gens. Burnside and

Grant during the Union occupation of Knoxville.

Their only child, Mary Boyce Temple (1856-1929), would become the first president of the Ossoli Circle, an organizer of the Bonny Kate Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution and a leader in the successful attempt to attain women’s suffrage in the early 1900s.

By 1854 Oliver Temple helped to found the Knoxville and Ohio Railroad and was a director of the East Tennessee and Georgia Railroad for several years. When Sneed was elected to Congress, Temple established a partnership with another prominent Knoxville attorney, Connally Trigg.

In the wake of Lincoln’s election to the presidency in November 1860 with secession fever sweeping the state, Temple organized a meeting of local Unionists to plan a course of action.

They agreed to call a citywide assembly at the Knox County Courthouse on Nov. 26 to discuss a statewide secession convention. When they assembled again on Dec. 9, Temple made two contentious speeches that provided a rallying cry for the regional Unionists.

Counties across East Tennessee held similar meetings and declared their loyalty to the Union.

In February 1861, Tennessee decided against secession by a vote of 69,000 to 58,000; but after Lincoln’s call for “75,000 volunteers to subdue the Rebellion” in April, the mood changed considerably. In June the state voted to secede by a vote of 105,000 to 47,000, and East Tennesseans cast 33,000 of those 47,000 votes.

When W.G. “Parson” Brownlow, editor of the local paper, warned in August 1861 that the Confederate authorities then occupying Knoxville were planning

to arrest local Unionists, Temple fled to the North but, in only a few weeks, he was able to return when he promised that he would remain neutral. During the early months of the war, he would provide legal representation for Unionists accused of such offenses as the Bridge-Burning Incident and the Great Locomotive Chase. When the Union Army entered the city in September 1863, Temple was so overjoyed that he celebrated by running the length of Gay Street behind a regiment of soldiers.

After the war, he quickly formed a new law firm with Samuel Rogers and James Deaderick but was appointed chancellor of the

8th Chancery District in 1866, then moved to the 2nd Chancery District in 1870.

Throughout the 1870s he spearheaded the Knoxville Industrial Association and served as president of the East Tennessee Farmer’s Convention giving numerous lectures on the importance of a diversified economy while extolling the area’s excellent climate and abundant natural resources.

Temple retired from the practice of law in 1880 and was soon appointed Knox County postmaster. He published the most influential of his four books, “East Tennessee and the Civil War,” in 1899. In 1912, having long been his research assistant, his daughter completed the

editing and published his fourth book, “Notable Men of Tennessee” (1833 to 1875).

Temple became seriously ill after a fall in 1904 and never fully recovered.

He died on Nov. 2, 1907, and was buried in Old Gray Cemetery, where a large obelisk marks the Temple family plot.

He was a trustee of the University of Tennessee for over a half-century (18541907) and helped establish the school’s College of Agriculture. Hess Hall now stands on the campus where his elegant Melrose mansion once stood.

Bill Nye coming to UT Bill Nye, a scientist and comedian best known for his passion to interest children in science, will speak at UT K nox v ille at 2 p.m.

T h u r s d a y, Oct. 29.

Nye will Bill Nye deliver the inaugural Ken and Blaire Mossman Distinguished Lecture in the Cox Auditorium of UT’s Alumni Memorial Building, 1408 Middle Drive. The lecture is free and open to the public.

The new lecture series

was established through an estate gift from the late Ken and Blaire Mossman, who were UT alumni. The couple, who met at UT in 1968, worked in science professions. Ken Mossman earned his master’s and doctoral degrees in health physics and radiation biology through the Institute of Radiation Biology, a joint program of UT and Oak Ridge National Laboratory, in 1970 and 1973, respectively.

Blaire Mossman earned a bachelor’s degree in French from UT in 1971.

Nye is the creator and host of an Emmy Awardwinning children’s televi-

sion show, which aired on PBS from 1992-98.

A scientist, engineer, comedian and inventor, Nye has authored five children’s books about science. He also holds a few unusual patents, including an improved toe shoe for ballerinas, a device to help people learn to throw a baseball better and a magnifier made of water.

UT’s new science and laboratory building, now under construction on Cumberland Avenue and 13th Street, is named in the Mossman’s honor. A groundbreaking involving the couple’s family will be held the morning of the lecture.

Question: “My gums bleed when I brush my teeth. Could this be a sign that I have gum disease?”

Answer: Gum disease, called gingivitis

or periodontitis, often is accompanied by bleeding gums, and on more rare occasions may signify the presence of other health problems. Other symptoms that one may see are: reddish and puffy gums around the teeth, pain in the mouth, bad taste, bad

oral odor, and accumulation of plaque and tartar on the teeth. This infection can lead to tooth loss, but if treated early with regular teeth cleaning in the dental office and necessary home oral hygiene, the gums will almost always return to a healthy condition.

Questions for “Dental Answers” are welcomed and should be sent to our address at 7409 Temple Acres Drive, Knoxville, TN, 37938.

Dancers from last year’s Knox Asian Festival perform the spectacular Lion Dance. Photo submitted

By Carol Shane East Tennessee has been getting many opportunities lately to enjoy the culture and food of other countries, what with events such as A Taste of India and Greekfest. This weekend you can join other virtual travelers at Knox Asian Fest 2015 in downtown Knoxville.

It’s the second year for the event, and last year was “very successful,” says festival organizer Kumi Alderman. There will be 44 tents representing eight Asian countries and plenty of fun, food and activities for the whole family.

You and your kids can try on, and have your picture taken in, kimonos and samurai costumes; learn about and observe a traditional Japanese tea ceremony; take part in a Tai Chi demonstration; and browse beautiful bonsai trees. There’ll be dancing from Taiwan, Thailand, Japan and the Philippines, and handmade jewelry and other crafts for sale.

Each child can pick up a “world map fan” to carry throughout the day. They can take their maps to each country’s tent, learn how to say “thank you” in each language, and learn a bit about the country itself.

“All nerds, gamers, geeks and otaku” are invited to enjoy events themed around video games, card and board games, and comics, offered by representatives from Yama-Con, Pigeon Forge’s popular annual anime convention.

And of course, there will be lots of delectable food and drink.

The day begins with a parade led by the Wah Lum Kung Fu School of Knoxville’s spectacular Dragon Dance, followed by representatives of each country in beautiful native costumes. There will be door prizes throughout the day and a silent auction benefiting Project Being There, which aids children living in Vietnamese orphanages.

In addition, there’s a picture contest. Snap some shots throughout the day, upload them to a designated social-media site for subsequent judging, and you may win two tickets to Dollywood, a $50 restaurant gift

card and $100 cash. Categories include best picture, best festival T-shirt and best native costume.

It’s a great way to celebrate part of the “patchwork quilt” of America.

“We would like to share

our culture and give kids and families a chance to experience the other side of world,” says Alderman.

“Hope you can come and enjoy the day together.”

The Knox Asian Festival 2015 will be held 10 a.m.-5

p.m. this Saturday, Oct. 17, at Krutch Park across from Market Square in downtown Knoxville. Admission is free. Info: www.knox asianfestival.com.

‘Little Ponderosa Zoo’ banks on local talent

By Betsy Pickle Finding acting talent locally to cast a movie isn’t exactly a struggle.

Curt Willis, who cowrote and co-directed “The Little Ponderosa Zoo” with Luke Dye, is also an actor, so he’s worked with and knows many actors in town.

But there’s something special about making new discoveries.

“There were a couple of folks we cast in ‘Little Ponderosa Zoo’ that I had not worked with before that turned out amazing: Neil Friedman and James Owens,” says Willis. “Those guys just killed it.

“And then there were our old standbys like Mike Stanley, Jeff Delaney and Jamison Stalsworth. We knew what they could do and plugged them in. It wasn’t hard.

“You don’t have to do a whole lot of digging to find some really good acting talent here in town to shoot a film.”

“The Little Ponderosa Zoo” debuted on DVD domestically last week and is playing on the Starz network this month. It’s the fourth feature film made

by Willis and Rock Hurst through their production company, WILLROCK Entertainment.

Curt Willis

Charlie (Kena Holmes) is determined to keep her family’s rescue zoo afloat in “The Little Ponderosa Zoo.”

They have a partnership with Engine 15 Media, a Los Angeles-based company that provides funding and finds outlets for their films.

“Little Ponderosa” has already been distributed internationally “for a while now,” says Willis. So has their previous film, “Bandit and the Saints of Dogwood,” directed by Brooks Benjamin. Both became available on DVD last week through online outlets and WalMart.

“The Little Ponderosa Zoo” is set primarily at the real-life Little Ponderosa Zoo, a rescue zoo in Clinton, but scenes were also shot in Knoxville and Lenoir City. The film is about a girl named Charlie (Kena Holmes) who’s trying to help her family keep the

zoo open, despite the efforts of greedy adults who’ve learned there’s gold underneath the zoo.

Willis and his partners broke the main rule of filmmaking: Never work with kids or animals. But the kids were fine, and the animals were surprisingly “fun,” even though Willis had never met an emu before.

“I think I may have seen pictures of them, but I had never come face to face with one until this film. I fell in love with a camel out there, Carl the camel; I hope he’s still there. He’s in the film a lot. He actually grabs one of the bad guys and roughs him up a little bit. He’s a really sweet camel.”

The hardest part of making the film was the noise.

“I don’t think we anticipated the issues with the noises,” says Willis. “They have partridges out there, emus, tigers, monkeys. It was a lot for John Puckett, who did our field audio. He did an amazing job considering the challenge he was facing with all the racket that was going on at the zoo every day.”

Willis says they heard about the zoo and wrote the script around the location. Engine 15 specializes in family-friendly films, so he and Hurst are constantly working on story ideas that fit that mold. Considering their first film was a raunchy comedy and their second was a horror film, kids’ movies seem an odd choice for the pair.

“We had a blast mak-

ing the (family) fi lms,” says Willis. “It’s still fi lmmaking. I tend to lean more toward the grittier, harder stuff.”

But there’s something to be said for making films that people actually see.

There’s been talk of a “Ponderosa” sequel, possibly with a Christmas theme.

“We’ve found a nice little niche here. Getting funding for films is a very difficult thing. We’re very fortunate to have a partner in Los Angeles like Engine 15 Media

that’s allowing us to make these films,” says Willis.

Still, “sometime in the near future we’d love to branch out to other things.”

Meanwhile, they’ll be at their day jobs. Dye, who usually edits their projects but “jumped in” on writing and directing this time, works at RIVR Media. Willis is head of the Visit Knoxville Film Office. Hurst works in the credit-card industry.

“We’re all always scheming on new projects,” says Willis.

‘Bridge of Spies’ Tom Hanks reteams with director Steven Spielberg for “Bridge of Spies,” opening Friday. Hanks plays an insurance lawyer maneuvered into a Cold War showdown between the United States and the Soviet Union. Mark Rylance, Alan Alda and Amy Ryan also star.
