BUZZ Bob Thomas is running for mayor Bob Thomas, radio guy and at-large county commissioner, kicked off his campaign for Knox County mayor last week with a baloney-cutting at Powell Auction. He followed Mayor Tim Burchett’s path (Burchett also launched his campaign there), but two years ahead of the election. Turnout was huge, and it was great to see old friends.

Remembering Pop Wendy Smith recalls her grandfather, the late A.K. Bissell, longtime mayor of Oak Ridge. “My parents’ Oak Ridge home will soon be put on the market, and it’s been a bittersweet trip down memory lane for me, my brother and my father as we’ve sorted through every drawer, closet and file folder.�

Building a sub It was once a Cessna. It has been a working roller coaster. This year it’s a submarine. No matter what the theme is for Beaver Dam Baptist Church’s VBS – the creative mind of Alan Summers can construct a slightly less than life-sized creation to complement it.

Black Oak Plaza gets new owners Black Oak Plaza in Halls has been sold. Kmart at Black Oak Plaza, an 82,943-square foot net-leased property and the adjacent property Black Oak Plaza, a 62,111-square foot retail, sold for $2.7 million and $2.075 million, respectively, according to Joseph McKibben, regional manager of Marcus & Millichap’s Knoxville office. Pamela Treacy, an investment specialist in Marcus & Millichap’s local office, had the exclusive listing to market the retail center for the owner. “This change in ownership will be the catalyst for redevelopment in the heart of Halls and will impact the entire community,� she said. Kmart is located at 6909 Maynardville Pike, the adjacent Black Oak Plaza houses a mix of national and local brands: GNC, UPS, Cutting Crew, Enix Jewelers, Ross the Boss, Fit N Fast and Sportsman’s Choice. The seller on Black Oak Plaza was Clover Leaf Village LLC, represented by manager Rafat Shaikh. The buyer was Maynardville Pike LP, with instruction to mail the tax notice to a law firm in Buffalo, N.Y. The deed on the Kmart property had not been recorded at press time. – S. Clark

Fountain City Day

By Sandra Clark When folks gather in Fountain City Park on Memorial Day, Dr. J.C. “Jim� Tumblin will be in his customary spot at the Fountain City Town Hall table. And this year he will be selling his newest book, “Fountain City: People Who Made a Difference.� He should have included a chapter on himself. Tumblin (who writes a monthly column for Shopper News) has documented Fountain City’s history in two previous books. He says: “If the history of a community is written in the lives of its people, and it is, then Fountain City has a very rich history and many worthy role models for meeting the challenges of its future.� Tumblin has been writing this book online for some time, but as writer Lynn Pitts quoted him from a 2002 News Sentinel interview: “It is a work in progress. It won’t feel right until I actually have it in print. I know the Internet is so popular now,

Old Sears building targeted for sale By Betty Bean The Andrew Johnson building on Gay Street isn’t the only iconic, county-owned structure Knox County is looking to sell. Last week, Mayor Tim Burchett told the Shopper News that he intends to put the former Sears store at 1000 N. Central on the block before he leaves office in September 2018. “That’s part of the long-range plan,� he said. “And it’s in keeping with my philosophy of putting government property back on the tax rolls.� Sears, Roebuck & Co. started construction on the new department store on the south end of Happy Holler in 1946 on a 3.9-acre

parcel in the Dameron Addition that consisted of 21 residential lots. The sprawling, Streamline Moderne/Art DECO store opened in 1948 and operated until the mid-1980s, when Sears, Roebuck & Co. sold it to the East Towne Mall Company for $800,395.92. Knox County bought it in February 1988, during the administration of County Executive Dwight Kessel. The purchase was controversial, in part because residents of surrounding neighborhoods – already riled because the neighborhood had been chosen as the site of a solid waste incinerator – feared that the county intended to use the former depart-

ment store as an intake center for the jail. Others were suspicious because the sellers’ identity was shielded by a trust agreement for an investors group that acquired the property for $850,000 in 1987. Fears died down over the years as county government converted the building to more benign uses, including the purchasing department, a satellite sheriff’s office, a clothing depot, an office of veterans’ affairs and storage space for county archives. Burchett said he intends to take advantage of the hot market for Downtown North redevelopment, and that no employees will lose jobs when these services are

relocated. “The time is right – the ‘Holler’ is hopping, and some people tell me (the old Sears building) may be even more valuable than the AJ Building.� As a historical note, although Dwight Kessel isn’t generally credited as a preservationist, his administration presided over the restoration of the historic Knox County Courthouse, the acquisition of the former Andrew Johnson Hotel and the purchase of the old Sears building. (Hat tip to Register of Deeds office manager Richie Beeler for his research on old Sears building history.)

but a book has a feel, a smell, a presence.� The search for a publisher was intense. Tumblin landed with Celtic Cat. Whittling the honorees to 50 was impossible. He landed with 56. And those names will be revealed May 30 at the park. We know he started with John Adair, who established Adair’s

Fort in 1788, just two years after James White’s Fort was born. Another will be Col. J.C. Woodward, who liquated his holdings in Kentucky and purchased 431 acres in North Knox County including the Fountain Head Hotel and Resort. He launched the Fountain Head Land Co. which sold lots and created the landmark lake and park. He will talk about Judge John W. Green, who fought to maintain the park and lake for public use, leading to a state Supreme Court decision in 1926. The final section deals with the World War II era, mentioning local heroes. Women come into play with mentions of long-time principal Hassie K. Gresham and writer Lucy Curtis Templeton. After its release at the Memorial Day event, the book will be available for $25 at the Fountain City Art Center, 213 Hotel Ave.; Kenneth Page’s Fountain City Pharmacy, 5034 N. Broadway; and Pratt’s Country Store, 3100 Tazewell Pike.

Music and Mabel Spending Sunday with Rheta

Sunday morning, cup of Joe, Rheta Grimsley Johnson, just like before. Except it isn’t. I’m not reading a newspaper. Rheta’s here, in the flesh, enjoying brunch at Cafe 4, in high definition, you might say, anything but normal. She was here to sign copies of her new memoir, “The Dogs Buried Over the Bridge,” at Union Avenue Books downtown. It’s a labor of love. Years ago, when she got her first newspaper job, her editor said no to any dog stories. It was too much like the old society page for the paper’s first woman reporter. So she didn’t. She wrote about people. Smooth as satin. Was a finalist for the Pulitzer? Wrote the authorized biography of cartoonist Charles Schulz. “Columized” – as Sam Venable says – for the Memphis Commercial Appeal, for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, for King Features Syndicate. “But every now and then,” she says, “you just gotta

Jake Mabe write about your dog. After all, men do it all the time.” Her new book is a memoir, somewhere in the neighborhood of 2010’s “Enchanted Evening Barbie and the Second Coming,” but seen through the eyes of her precious pups. Some here. Some gone. You’ll meet Mabel (pronounced “Maybelle”). She was the first dog buried over the bridge at her home in Mississippi. She calls it Fishtrap Hollow. You’ll meet Lucinda, named after singer Lucinda Williams. And that’s one of Rheta’s other passions, music. We talked about Tom T. Hall and John Prine and Jimmy Buffett’s “A1A.” And James McMurtry – and you get the idea. She’s a playwright

now, too, having co-written “Hiram,” about 10-year-old Hank Williams, about who and what influenced him. It’s better than Broadway, some say. She was influenced by Hank, but also by Raymond Chandler, Philip Marlowe’s similes. Goodies such as “I was as empty of life as a scarecrow’s pockets.” She can quote them like Olivier quoted “Othello.” But the writing bug bit her early. Newspapers became her life, a job she said was once likened to “taking a glass-bottom boat through a sewer.” But you do it ’cause it becomes a way of life. And a piece of her dies when yet another paper folds forever. She’s loved dogs since reading “Old Yeller.” Most of hers of late have been strays, left on the side of the road like yesterday’s trash, surely a sin, sure as you’re born. “We don’t deserve dogs,” she says, “but they love us anyhow.” From them, she’s learned much. Some are smarter than some people she Rheta Grimsley Johnson chats with fans at Union Avenue knows. Don’t worry. Rheta Books before signing her latest memoir, “The Dogs Buried didn’t name names.

“They communicate quietly through their eyes, like most humans should.” She laughed at the idea of the writer’s block, of waiting on “the writer’s muse.” Said later she’d talked to someone recently and asked, “Where’d you get your dog?” The answer? “Well, there’s a story there.” There always is, if you look, and Rheta tells ’em better than most. If you like dogs, you’ll love this book. If you like to read wellherded words, you’ll love this book. If you don’t like dogs, you just might after reading this book.

Friends of Walter The Walter Chadwick story goes on and on and actually gets better with age. With just a little help, it could be a movie. The former Tennessee tailback celebrated his 70th birthday in Decatur, Ga., surrounded by “Friends of Walter,� a side story almost as good as the main event. Chadwick did not receive a great stack of gifts. He doesn’t need more dust collectors. He did get what he wanted, a cluster of orange and white balloons for the annual launch. Walter always thinks his two will make it to the moon. And why not? Walter keeps defying unbelievable odds just to be part of the party. The Walter Chadwick story almost ended on a

Marvin West

drippy spring afternoon 45 years ago. He was making deliveries for his mom’s gift shop. He stopped at a traffic light. A Wells Fargo truck hustling in the opposite direction slid across the center line and smashed into his VW Beetle. “They gave me the last rites,� Chadwick is fond of saying, “but I fooled ’em!� Barely. His body was broken and he suffered irreparable brain damage. He survived in intensive care for 15 days

and was in a coma for most of four months. He spent two years in rehab. His marriage dissolved. He lost touch with his two young sons. He lost almost everything but, somehow, maintained his faith, a sense of humor and a few precious memories of football. The fun part was 1965-67. He started for Doug Dickey’s Volunteers. Walter’s favorite play (and one of mine) happened his senior season versus Alabama. It looked like a power sweep. Linebacker and halfback came roaring up. Tight end Austin Denney slipped behind them. Walter didn’t deliver a perfect spiral. He shot-putted the ball for a touchdown. In response to my de-

Remembering Pop My parents’ Oak Ridge home will soon be put on the market, and it’s been a bittersweet trip down memory lane for me, my brother and my father as we’ve sorted through every drawer, closet and file folder. Some things should’ve stayed hidden from the world, like my sixth-grade photos and at least one disappointing report card. But I also found treasures, like numerous new spaper clippings devoted to my grandfather, longMayor Bissell time Oak Ridge Mayor Alvin Keith Bissell. To me, he was Pop, hus-

Wendy Smith

band of Nana, a.k.a. Mama, Mema or Helen Bissell, depending on who was talking to her. They lived in a muchremodeled “C� cemesto house on Meadow Road, where we celebrated numerous holidays. I was always assigned to the kid table, so I missed the really good conversations. At the time, I wouldn’t have been interested in Pop’s numerous accomplishments, like his organization of the effort to incorporate Oak Ridge in 1959. I wouldn’t have cared that he

was active in the Tennessee Municipal League, a chair of the East Tennessee Development District, or a charter member of the Melton Hill Regional Industrial Development Association. I don’t recall knowing that he played a leading role in the extension of Pellissippi Parkway in an effort to provide a quicker route to McGhee Tyson Airport. This is all fascinating to me now, but it’s the little anecdotes that bring the fuzzy images of my grandfather, who passed away in 1994, back into focus. After Pop was recruited to work for Tennessee Eastman on a mysterious project in 1943, the family was assigned to a “D� house on Tennessee Avenue, where there “wasn’t a gravel,� he told The Oak

liberately prickly question about passing form, Chad said, “It counted six!� Chadwick was drafted by Green Bay. He had another tryout with Atlanta. He played one season with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. He was a high school coach for two weeks preceding the crash. Former Vol Elliott Gammage became Walter’s first best friend during rehabilitation. Former Vol Steve Kiner was next to help when Gammage moved back to Tennessee. “Walter had a townhouse and was trying to hang in there,� said Kiner. “It was heartbreaking. He wasn’t doing his physical therapy. He needed a job with some dignity. I had to do something.� Kiner, with advanced degrees in clinical psychology and counseling, was prominent with Emory

Healthcare. Eventually, a rehab nursing director realized Walter might help her patients. He became inspiration coach. He greeted everybody with a twisted smile and “Hey, Slick.� Patients who had not talked for weeks responded. Some laughed. The decades have not been easy for Walter Chadwick. The time came when there were no more jobs. He even had to give up his bicycle and joyous treasure hunts for aluminum cans along roadways. It may have been Kiner’s idea to assemble “Friends of Walter.� A UT grad in the Atlanta area, Ellen Morrison, her husband Philip, Marilyn Elrod, Jim Lawson and Frank Weldon became the core support group. Through the years, many others, former Vols and former coach Bill Battle, have helped.

Ellen has arranged or provided many outings. Walter and a luncheon group meet each week. Walter asks the blessing. “It is beyond amazing,� said Kiner. “Walter is like a magnet and Tennessee people never forget. Ellen Morrison is an angel in disguise.� Old Vols awarded Ellen an honorary letter. Butch Jones put Walter’s name on the UT running backs meeting room. Alan Owen, UT grad, friend of Walter for 15 years, sent a keepsake directly from the recent Super Bowl, a Peyton Manning photo. Of course it is on Walter’s wall. Great group, friends of Walter, kind, encouraging, generous people. “Oh no,� said Kiner. “It’s the other way around. We get more than we give.�

Ridger. Dust and trucks were flying on the road, which left my grandmother in tears. To get Nana away from the hubbub, Pop drove up an unpaved Michigan Avenue, where foundations were being laid and a school was under construction. My mother, Jane Wright, and her four siblings all eventually walked to that school − Cedar Hill School. I was aware that Pop knew everybody, not just in Oak Ridge, but across the state. He shared memories of political notables in a 1987 edition of Tennessee Town & City, a publication of the Tennessee Municipal League. He had a knack for imitation, so I could hear him mimicking his friend, two-term Gov. Frank Clement, telling a story about riding in a “boat-ah� on Old Hickory Lake with his wife, Cille. His political activities

connected him with national figures as well. A 1994 article in the Courier News of Clinton conveyed Pop’s story of Sen. John F. Kennedy visiting Oak Ridge in 1959 − the year before he was elected president. Pop was master of ceremonies at a dinner with at least 100 guests, and he referred to each one by name before introducing Kennedy, who said he’d never witnessed such a ready recollection of names.

Along with the newspaper clippings, I found Pop’s and Nana’s Christmas cards from Al and Tipper Gore and Bill and Hillary Clinton, and tickets to Jimmy Carter’s inauguration party. I’d seen these mementos before without ever truly appreciating them. If I could go back to those holiday gatherings at Meadow Road, you can be sure I’d fight for a seat at the adult table.

Bob Thomas has plan to win Bob Thomas, radio guy and at-large county commissioner, kicked off his campaign for Knox County mayor last week with a baloney-cutting at Powell Auction. He followed Mayor Tim Burchett’s path (Burchett also launched his campaign there), but two years ahead of the election. Turnout was huge, and it was great to see old friends. Thomas was smooth. He thanked friend Ed Brantley, Howard and Barbara Phillips, Kenny Phillips, Richard Bean, the Chillbillies, Phil Leadbetter and Sammy “Barney Fifeâ€? Sawyer. He said Burchett has set a standard for all future mayors. “He is stingy with the taxpayers’ money and we love him for it. As he has said many times – no shenanigans! He expects everyone to pull his or her weight. He believes that the government is the servant of the people of Knox County. “These are the same values I believe in and that I will strive to uphold. ‌ I would like to thank Mayor Burchett for making Knox County strong. ‌ “I believe that Knox County will be the fastest growing county in Tennessee over the next 10 years and we need to make sure this time of great opportunity is managed properly.â€? Bob and his wife, Kim,

have three children: son Chad and wife Mindy have three kids; daughter Brooke and husband Logan Brummitt have two kids; and son Jake is a student and actor living in California. Bob’s mom, Nelle Thomas, and sister Barbara and brother Jerry attended the kickoff. Tom Spangler, chief deputy under former Sheriff Tim Hutchison, is running for sheriff in 2018, and he’s already making the rounds. Bobby Waggoner, a primary candidate in 2014, also said he’s planning a race. Lee Tramel is representing Sheriff Jimmy “J.J.� Jones at both political and civic events as the heir apparent. Some questioned Bob Thomas’ decision to start his campaign in 2016, but why not? As an at-large commissioner, he already represents the entire county. And now he’s got a head start on potential opponents. If others announce, they’ll find themselves running against Bob. And the baloney-cutting party at Powell Auction has already occurred.

Sidewalk issue won’t go away The fate of the muchpublicized effort for a new sidewalk in West Hills along Sheffield from Wesley Road over to Vanosdale is not good for this year’s city budget as both Mayor Rogero and Vice Mayor Duane Grieve (who represents West Hills) are not supporting its inclusion in the budget. This is a case where term limits work against the voters who no longer have a voice in the political future of Grieve or Rogero. They leave office respectively in 2017 and 2019. Both say there are higher needs for other sidewalks. What they do not say is that this special list is prepared by city bureaucrats who use an inflexible system that is often flawed. Rogero and Grieve seem unwilling to review or revise this list. For example, one sidewalk ahead of Sheffield (which Grieve cites) is the already existing sidewalk along Kingston Pike from Concord Street to Western Plaza (where this writer lives) as a higher need with a $2 million cost. This is a flimsy excuse for inaction since that sidewalk has been there over 55 years and does not need to

Victor Ashe

be rebuilt, let alone for $2 million plus. Kingston Pike residents are not seeking a new sidewalk. The West Hills residents are educated, intelligent and determined citizens. Council member George Wallace has helped himself with these residents by sending the mayor a letter urging consideration of it. Former Vice Mayor Nick Pavlis has said he favors money to design it. Rogero was asked by letter in October 2015 to back the sidewalk, but she never personally answered the letter. Grieve upset some constituents when he commended council member Nick Della Volpe by email for his comments critical of the Sheffield sidewalk campaign in a reply to state Rep. Martin Daniel’s email of support. Grieve had not intended for his email to become public, but it did. My guess is that this will

go into the City Council elections next year when one or more candidates to replace Grieve make sidewalks and Sheffield Drive in particular his/her issue. That candidate may also outline a plan for a serious citywide effort to build sidewalks, a need not supported adequately in the mayor’s budget. The city really does not have a meaningful plan to resolve the requests for 135 miles of sidewalks. At the low rate the city is funding new sidewalks, it would be 75 years before this list was turned into reality. A future mayoral candidate, who is serious, may advocate creating a sidewalk building program similar to the road paving program this writer started in 1988 after voters approved a sales tax hike. Now some 42 or more miles a year are repaved annually (divided equally among the six council districts so all parts of Knoxville are treated alike). Every mayor following me has continued this program and even increased it from time to time. Sidewalks are urgently needed across the city at a time when many

neighborhoods feel more funding goes to downtown Knoxville and the questionable Cumberland Avenue construction, which has more than a year to go. ■Knox County Commission is likely to have at least two women serving after the Aug. 4 election. Amy Broyles, the commission’s only female, will be replaced by a woman as both candidates for her seat are female. The Democratic candidate for the Sam McKenzie seat is Evelyn Gill. That district tilts toward the Democrats although those precincts that are largely African American voted for Rick Staples over Gill in the March primary. Gill carried the precincts that were mostly white and also supporting Bernie Sanders for president by a large margin. The Republican candidate, Michael Covington, has yet to demonstrate he can win over Democrats in this campaign. Democrat Marleen Davis is running a credible race against Hugh Nystrom in District 4, but she is running in an overwhelmingly GOP district and Nystrom is a very popular candidate

30, 2015, Mayor Rogero has replaced three MPC commissioners including vice chair Bart Carey, former Vice Mayor Jack Sharp and Michael Kane. The three new members include a former City Council member, Charlie Thomas, along with Gayle Bustin and Pat Phillips. They must be approved by the state Local Government Planning Commission in Nashville, which is almost automatic. They will serve the remaining time in the normal fouryear term had they been appointed in July 2015, which is now three years and one month. Thomas is a strong advocate of greenways. Rogero has declined to explain why it took her 11 months to name these three persons to MPC. This column mentioned it on three occasions including three weeks ago. â– This column erred when it stated UT-K Provost Susan Martin had a fiveyear term. She is an at-will employee. Her resignation as provost takes effect Aug. 1, and she will return to teaching as a professor of classics on Jan. 1, 2017, after a sabbatical. â– Over 100 individuals have now applied to replace Margie Nichols as vice chancellor for communications at UTK.

Building the bones cross currents

By Cindy Taylor It was once a Cessna. It has been a working roller coaster. This year it’s a submarine. No matter what the theme is for Beaver Dam Baptist Church’s VBS – the creative mind of Alan Summers can construct a slightly less than life-sized creation to complement it. A designer by trade and lifetime member of the church, it’s no surprise that Summers is drawn to create backdrops for VBS. Now with a family of his own, Summers puts his heart, and countless hours, into designing and building individual pieces and sometimes entire sets for special events at the church. Summers says his wife and son don’t see him much once he starts the yearly VBS build. “I’ve done this for so many years Lynda and Clark are used to it by now,� said Summers. “I usually put two to three months into the VBS set, but I really need to start right after Christmas.� This year’s theme, “Submerged. Finding Truth below the Surface,� is based on Psalm 139: 23-24. So naturally, Summers is building a submarine in the church garage. He has the “bones� of the sub ready and plans to start adding boat shrink wrap soon to beef up the structure. Wiring is in place, and the paint that will bring the sub to life will soon be added. The structure is 20 feet long and eight feet tall. Along with the interior wood supports and boat shrink wrap exterior, the sub will have lights, a working propeller and motorized movement. Summers uses reclaimed wood from past sets to keep the cost down. “The stage will have a few other props too that resem-

Time travel They rose early in the morning and went up to the heights of the hill country, saying, “Here we are.� (Numbers 14:40 NRSV) It was a pilgrimage of sorts for us. My brother and I have at least two ancestors who fought in the American Revolution at the Battle of King’s Mountain. We wanted to stand on that hallowed ground and breathe in the air of history. The mountain itself is sort of a surprise. It is a 60foot peak that is freakishly steep, jutting up starkly from the gentle farmlands below. As we walked the trail, I kept trying to imagine these now-quiet woodlands filled with musket-fire, barked orders, cries of pain and shouts of encouragement. I could picture the redcoats, sure of themselves in their spiffy uniforms, going up against the buckskin-clad mountaineer riflemen. Historian Bart McDowell describes the scene: “The battle began about 3 p.m. Major Ferguson attacked with bayonet charges and volleys from the British muskets. The mountain men just stepped behind trees and took deadly aim with their long rifles.� Ferguson’s body rests in King’s Mountain near a giant poplar that may have survived the same battle. Every loyalist in the fight was killed, wounded, or captured – about 1,000. The patriots lost only 28 killed. Cornwallis was startled by his defeat at the hands of these un-trained American back-woodsmen. And the over-mountain men got more than vengeance. They bought America time. The patriots rebuilt their army, hoping they would have enough time to save the South. I have stood at Arlington, looking out over rows and rows of white gravestones. I have walked the battlefields at Gettysburg (the only place I ever saw a real ghost). And I have knelt on the ground at Normandy. King’s Mountain stands among them, as hallowed ground.

ble coral and sea life,� said Summers. “The vestibule will feature porthole walls beside the entry doors, with televisions that will run aquarium videos.� All of this should serve to give VBS students a real feel of the ocean. The 2017 theme won’t be revealed until this June, so

to building the perfect set, Summers didn’t hesitate. “Lots of duct tape,� he replied with a laugh. Beaver Dam Baptist Church welcomes kids PreK – fifth graders to attend VBS June 6-10. The church is at 4328 East Emory Road. Info: www.bdbc.org or 9222322.

Summers says he doesn’t know what next year will bring. “I would love to do a set similar to what would have been used for the movie ‘Honey I Shrunk the Kids,’� he said. “I would build a larger-than-life set for the kids to enjoy.� When asked his secret

CHAPTER SEVEN: Story So Far: It is official: the new soccer team has the worst start in the schools sport history. Is there any way this team can get better? If the story of what happened to our team was in the movies, on television, or a YouTube video, this is the point at which I think things are supposed to look up. You know, the team starts to fight back. Opposing teams wouldn’t score all those points—because of us. Maybe one of us would drop dead from trying so hard, and then the rest of us would vow to win in his honor, and would, crying for joy that our best’s friend’s death was worth a plastic trophy with big ears.

The problem was, our team was not in the movies, television, or that series of romance books called “Vampire Vamps of Victoria Vocational,” which all the girls were reading. This was real. For example . . . Just a few days after the last game, I was lying on my bed reading Love That Dog. I really liked it. Anyway, my father came into my room and sat down on my desk chair. I could tell it was going to be a serious talk by the way he sat. When he wants to tell me I’m going to have to spend Saturday morning helping to clean house, he just sits on the chair, regular. When he straddles the

The facts of life chair, backwards, that means he’s my pal and we’re going to talk man-to-man. And I wasn’t even a man. This time he straddled my chair and looked around at all the slogans, pictures, and bits and pieces I had picked up and stuck to the wall. I stayed where I was, on my bed. “How’s it going?” he asked. “Okay.” My nose was still in the book. “Got a minute?” “Sure.” I lowered the book, not knowing what was coming, except I could tell it was going to be heavy lifting. He said, “How’s school?” “Okay.” “You really like it, don’t you?” “Most of it.” “When I went, I hated it.” “Sorry.” “Really hated it . . .” “Well, I like it,” I said. Then I suddenly had this wild notion that we were going to talk about sex! Trying not to show it, I got interested. I mean, we were overdue. “Ed . . . ,” he said. “How’s that soccer team you’re on?” “The what?” “The soccer team.” “Okay,” I said, not only feeling disappointed but wondering how he knew about the team. I hadn’t mentioned it. “I didn’t know you were on it, much less captain of the team. That’s quite an honor. How come you never told us any of this?” I shrugged. “It’s no big deal. I’m required to play. And Mr. Lester picked me for captain. Not the guys. Just the way he picked me to play goalie. I’m taller than the other guys.” “Better?” “Taller. Saltz is better.” “Beefy.” “All muscle,” I said loyally. He looked at me, his eyes gone shifty, so I knew some phony questions were working their way up. Sure enough, he asked, “How’s, uh, the team, you know, coming along?” “Wonderful,” I said, picking up my book so he knew I had more important things to do. “Really?” “If you know the answers, how come you’re asking?” “You never told me one way or the other.” “Someone did.” “Well, that’s . . . true.” He was silent for a moment. “I . . . uh . . . gather you’ve not . . . won . . . anything.” “Nope.” “Close?” “Not by light-years, and each light-year is about six trillion miles.” “Ed . . .” “Dad,” I said, “you wouldn’t be asking me this way if you didn’t know the answers. What’s on your mind? I’d like to read this.” “I just thought . . . you know . . . I’m concerned about your team. Not just me, Ed. A

bunch of bright guys like you. It’s . . . your attitude,” he blurted out. “You and the rest of the guys.” “How do you know?” “I had a call from Mr. Tillman, the school counselor.” “You’re kidding!” “I did. He’s worried about you and the rest of the boys on the team.” “How come?” “I just told you, your attitude.” “Because we get beaten?” “Because you don’t seem to care.” “What are we supposed to do? Cry? Sulk? Put our fists through the lockers? Take drugs? Go see Mr. Tillman and tell him we hate our fathers? Dad, we didn’t want to be on a team. We had to be. We stink. So what?” He shook his head. “That’s being a quitter.” “How can you accuse me of quitting when I didn’t want to join? If a guy breaks out of a torture chamber, is he a quitter? I mean, I do want to quit. We all do.” “Ed!” “I don’t want to talk about it.” After a few moments, he said, “A few of the dads were talking about this at the parents’ meeting last night. We’re going to hold some extra practices. Mr. Lester is all for it.” I threw my book down in disgust. “You’re kidding!” “Mean it.” “When?” “Saturday mornings.” “No way.” “Yes.” “Saturday I’m supposed to work with Lucy on our project.” “Who’s Lucy?” “A friend!” I said fiercely. He stood up. “Nine-thirty, fella. Havelock Field. You’re team captain. You’ve got to set an example.” He walked out of my room. I called Saltz. “Guess what?” I said. He said, “Havelock Field. Nine-thirty. Saturday. I’m strongest. Biggest. I have to set an example.” “I don’t believe it.” “No one asked you what you believe.” “What else did your folks say?” “That we were a disgrace.” “Ye gods . . .” “You going?” he asked. “Don’t have much choice.” “See ya,” he said. “Right,” and I hung up the phone. I was beginning to feel like a cancer under attack. After a moment, I called Lucy. “Lucy? This is Ed. I can’t work on our project Saturday morning.” “Why?” “Soccer team. I’ve got to practice being a hero.” “I can understand,” she said, which made it worse. I was hoping she was beyond understanding. (To be continued.)

Stanton has been at Adrian Burnett for 32 of her 34 years in teaching. She drives by many other elementary schools on her way to work but loves the kids, staff and community so Modern Woodmen of America recently partnered with the Gibbs High School band boosters in a fundraiser for the Gibbs much that she would rather High School band at the ETTA competition.

She gets to see quite a few students whose parents she taught and she loves seeing the generations. Others who inspired her to teach include her first grade teacher and a fourth grade teacher (from Galbraith Elementary next to the now South-Doyle Middle School). She calls them “two incredible teachers who loved children and made learning fun. They touched my heart in ways I will never forget.� She fondly remembers her first grade teacher teaching her to read from “Dick and Jane� books and cooking with the class and her fourth grade teacher teaching the class the Ten Commandments and social studies. When she isn’t in the classroom, Stanton enjoys reading, gardening and visiting the mountains, especially in Cades Cove.

Comcast Cares day at Gibbs High campus The Gibbs High School Eagle Battalion hosted Comcast Cares Day at the school. The project provided learning opportunities for students, cadets, faculty members, Comcast employees and the community. Over 200 individuals volunteered on a recent Saturday to beautify the campus.

Projects included a courtyard and breezeway clean up, mulching and flower planting, revitalizing a nature trail and cleaning two fence lines. Comcast provided breakfast and lunch for the volunteers as well as flowers, mulch and landscape timbers for the nature trail.

Regas Square links downtown to Northside boom By Betty Bean

Conversion Properties Inc. president Joe Petre got raked over the coals last month when he went to C o u n t y Commission asking for tax increment Joe Petre f inancing (also known as a TIF) for his newest downtown redevelopment project, but after he ran the gauntlet of questions about why his company needs a tax break to make Regas Square happen, he walked out of the room with what he asked for – a $5-plus million TIF to help build a $33 million, mixedused development on what used to be the parking lot of Regas Restaurant on Gay Street and Magnolia. Petre’s most persuasive selling point for his project, which will add 101 new residents, a couple of restaurants plus several retail stores, is that it will create a vital link between the struggling north end of Gay Street and the booming North Broadway/North Central Street corridor. He points to David Dewhirst/ Ashley Capps’ new venue, the Mill and Mine, in a former warehouse on West De-

Rendering of Regas Square (building at left is former Regas Restaurant) and, frankly, we’re running out of cool old building stock, so you have to follow the path of where the buildings are.� When Petre speaks to citizen’s groups, he carries with him a stack of written definitions of TIFs and their close cousins, Payments In Lieu Of Taxes (PILOTS). TIFs, he explains, direct a portion of the tax revenue generated by a redevelopment project’s economic growth to repay the government loan, and allow downtown developers to cope with the extraordinary costs of construction in the vertical urban environment. Regas Square will have 20 years to pay off its TIF, and as the value of the property grows, so will local government’s share of tax revenue. If the project

fails, the developer is still on the hook to repay the loan. A PILOT freezes property taxes for an agreed time period. These incentives have traditionally been used to redevelop blighted properties, and developers have been required to pass the “but for� test – i.e. show that they couldn’t swing the project but for the boost provided by the tax break. “What’s often left out of the TIF discussion is the extreme high cost of these projects and the risk associated with them. I assure you that without the TIF we could not do this project, and I hope the city and county will continue to move forward with these solutions, because they really have worked,� Petre said.

Road trip to Maynardville:

Music, arts, plants, wine and kids By Libby Morgan If you’ve ever wanted an excuse to take a short, scenic trip just north of Knox County, Saturday, June 4, is a great day to head that way. Art on Main: Next door to the Union County courthouse in Maynardville is the sixth annual Art on Main Festival from 9 a.m.-4 p.m., with two national champion musicians, teenage thumb picker Parker Hastings and mountain dulcimer player Sarah Morgan, on the main stage. Chet Atkins will be honored with a special tribute prior to Hasting’s performance. Hastings has played with several of Atkins’ friends and band members. If you’re a musician of any ability, you’re welcome to join in the Union County tradition of pickin’ and grinnin’ on the porch and under the shade trees with friendly folks. On the grounds are glassblowing, metal art, corn shuck doll making, wood art and painting demonstrations, plus handmade and handcrafted goods, food, live plants and more for sale. Kids will have fun with train rides, face painting and free art projects. Daylilies will be given away by

to the farmers’ territory, you’ll be able to snatch up produce picked hours (or minutes) before you put it in your car. You’ll see signs to the market at Wilson Park next door to the high school on Highway 33. The market is held every Saturday from 9 a.m.-noon, and on June 4, special events are added. The Winery at Seven Springs Farm: Three miles up the road from Art on Main, a special party is planned after the festival at the combination farm store/ tasting room/patio at Seven Springs Farm to Table. The farm produces award-winning wines, grass-fed Angus beef, fruits, berries and vegetables. Swamp Ghost, a band from Union County, will wrap up the festival entertainment and head up to The Winery to play from 5-7 p.m.

‘Waterfront’ property in Powell By Sandra Clark Carol Evans smiled when she said Powell could b e c o m e known as Knox County’s next water f ront community, but she was only half Carol Evans kidding. Evans was invited to speak at Enhance Powell, a citizens group that meets at the Powell Branch Library on each second Wednesday from 4-5 p.m. Evans is executive director of Legacy Parks Foundation, the group that Dr. Bob Collier has asked to develop the land adjacent to the library which will be called Collier Preserve. Evans was asked to tie that project into a broader plan to create a greenway for bikes and walking along Beaver Creek from roughly I-75 to Clinton Highway. She suggested Powell residents talk with creek side property owners. “The worst thing to do is start drawing lines on a map (on people’s private property).� R. Larry Smith called Evans the closer. “When you’ve got someone interested (in donating land or applying a conservation easement), call her in.� Evans talked about tax benefits for landowners and economic development benefits from outdoor activities. She outlined the 10-year history of Legacy Parks. The first project was raising $80,000 to build a skate park on city-owned land in Fountain City. The next

project was serving as fiscal agent for Halls residents who raised money to purchase the Hodge property on Norris Freeway which is now Clayton Park. But her biggest achievement to date is assembling tracts of land in South Knoxville that’s become known as the Urban Wilderness. On May 17, she was scheduled to open a section of trail that connects South-Doyle Middle School to the trail system. “Don’t worry about being perfect,� she said. “In South Knoxville, we’ve taken undevelopable, remnant land and created a 100acre park with 50 miles of trail for biking and hiking.� The trail system is not for horses or motorized vehicles. “The snowball happened there, and you’ll see it happen here.� Evans refuted some

myths about greenways. “Crime is greater at West Town Mall than on any greenway ‌ because trails are used randomly so it’s hard to plan a crime.â€? Respect is key. “Be very respectful of your neighbors.â€? Evans said Legacy Parks Foundation doesn’t “push in,â€? but is happy to be invited in by community groups. Legacy Parks is working with a kayak group in Karns to create put-in and take-out points on Beaver Creek. Powell’s stretch of the creek could tie into that. Several easements are already in place, including land behind the Kroger now under construction, land behind the apartments being built on Emory Road at Central Avenue Pike, the Collier Preserve and Powell Station Park, adjacent to the high school. State construction left

undevelopable remnants along Beaver Creek. The next step is to visit with landowners, seeking to secure an easement. Just don’t start by drawing their property onto a map.

Harby’s Pizza & Deli catered the gathering and six pizzas and a week’s worth of salad were left over but taken to the Cerebral Palsy Home after the meeting. ■Work at Elkmont begins June 4: There are two changes to report about the Rotary Club of Knoxville’s workday to help restore the amphitheater at the Elkmont Campground in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The club’s Work Day will be on Saturday, June 4, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. That’s a change from the earlier starting time of 9 a.m. Also, president Sandy Martin says that the work will continue through lunch and asks that you bring your own sack lunch and the club will provide drinks and snacks for a picnic at Elkmont, not at Metcalf Bottoms.

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

Know where to go Forty-one-year-old stroke survivor is thankful her husband chose Fort Sanders Regional Ask Stephanie Blackstock how she spells her last name, and you might see her tap out each letter on her fingers. Like most of us, Blackstock learned to spell her name when she was a small child, but there are a few things she’s had to relearn this year. “It’s kind of like being back in kindergarten,” she jokes, which is an especially amusing comment when you consider that Blackstock is an elementary school teacher. It’s obvious she has the intelligence of a college graduate, and the ability of a full grown adult. She is merely recovering from a stroke. Thanks to modern medicine at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center, many stroke patients like Blackstock are able to return to fully functioning lives and careers. A positive attitude and support from family, friends and coworkers have helped Blackstock through the uncertain days immediately following her stroke, but she will tell you the real reason she’s able to walk and talk and live life to the fullest is that she was treated at the right hospital. Blackstock remembers staring out at the world from inside a body that was rendered helpless one Sunday morning in January. She had fallen out of bed, having lost all mobility on her right side. She couldn’t speak. Blackstock’s husband, a paramedic, believed his wife was having a stroke, and told emergency first responders where he thought she needed to go. They agreed.

“They took me to Fort Sanders because it’s a Comprehensive Stroke Center,” Blackstock says. “Justin knew where to take me, and that’s why I’m here today.” Dr. Keith Woodward, a neurointerventional radiologist at Fort Sanders Regional, performed a thrombectomy, which is removal of a blood clot that is blocking blood flow to the brain. The clot sat atop 65 percent of her brain, and the damage could have been much worse if more time had lapsed between the stroke and the treatment. “One of the most important things for people to understand is that time saves your brain. The longer you wait to get treatment for a stroke, the harder it is to regain all of your abilities. The tools in our arsenal to treat stroke lessen as time passes, so get to a comprehensive center as quickly as possible, “ says Dr. Woodward. When she came out of surgery, she remembers being asked what her name was. She gave the right answer. She was able to identify her husband, and one of their friends who was at the hospital. “On Sunday I had several people come in, I knew some names, I didn’t know others,” Blackstock says. By Tuesday, she was ready to be released, and went home to Gibbs. Seeing this 41-year-old mom at her kids’ soccer games, you’d never guess she’s a

Because of the excellent care received at Fort Sanders Regional, just one month out from Stephanie’s stroke, the Blackstocks are able to enjoy a family soccer game in the park.

family, and she’s grateful for her treatment at Fort Sanders Regional. “Everyone was great, and Dr. Woodward is phenomenal,” Blackstock says. “I can speak now, I’m reading, I’m doing math and, yes, it’s taking me a little bit of time, but I’m doing it.” Because Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center offers outpatient therapy at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center, the transition from stroke treatment to stroke recovery has been seamless. Twice a week, she undergoes intense sessions to improve her cognitive skills and be the well-spoken teacher her school depends on. “That’s the plan – to be out of speech therapy before school starts back,” she says. While Blackstock obviously wouldn’t have chosen to have a stroke, the experience has caused her to focus on what’s important, and treasure each moment with her family. She credits Dr. Woodward and the stroke survivor. The only lingering effects Fort Sanders team with giving her a chance are some speech difficulties, and she’s un- at a life that is more meaningful than ever. “If I had gone somewhere else, I don’t dergoing therapy to get those corrected. The frustration is a very small price to know where I would be right now,” Blackpay for the life she’s able to live enjoying her stock says. “It’s all been a blessing.”

The first Advanced Comprehensive Stroke Center in East Tennessee When it comes to treating strokes, no other hospital in the Knoxville offers a more advanced level of care than Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center. Fort Sanders was the first in the Knoxville area to earn an Advanced Comprehensive Stroke Center Certification by The Joint Commission, a nonprofit organization that accredits and certifies more than 20,500 health care programs in the United States. This “gold-seal” advanced certification means that Fort Sanders is recognized as having the most advanced and effective treatments available for stroke today. Certification through The Joint Commission involves extensive training for the staff, documentation of effectiveness, and inspection of the hospital by The Joint Commission. Part of certification is having a team of “neurohospitalists” on staff. These physicians treat only stroke and neurological cases in the hospital, 24 hours a day, 7 days per week. Instead of waiting for a doctor to have time from his or her private practice, Fort Sanders has neurologists on hand. “It makes access to specialized neurologists easier,” said Dr. James Hora, one of the neurohospitalists at Fort Sanders. “We have 24/7 coverage, and this provides rapid access to a neurologist for acute neurologic problems.” Dr. Arthur Moore was hired in July 2014 as medical director for the center. “With our Advanced Comprehensive Stroke Certification, we offer the highest level of care for all patients. Whether they’re able to have surgery or not, we’re there to give their bodies the best chance

to heal and recover,” he explained. Some stroke patients can be treated with minimally invasive surgical options. Using brain angioplasty, stents and aneurysm surgery, Fort Sanders surgeons can remove tiny clots, stop brain bleeds and insert tiny stents to hold open delicate arteries. “Using a catheter, we thread a tiny wire into the artery in the groin, and up to the brain,” explained Keith Woodward, M.D., a neuro-interventional radiologist at Fort Sanders. “Then we can use a special device to pull the clot out, or sometimes we can inject it with medicine and dissolve it while we’re in there.” Most stroke patients need follow-up care after the initial event, and patients at Fort Sanders have access to the Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center, an award winning rehabilitation center. About one-third of the Patricia Rehabilitation Neal Center’s patients are stroke patients, according to the center’s medical director, Mary E. Dillon, M.D. “Our specialists begin determining as soon as possible what level of care the patient will need,” said Dillon. “Patients have access to rehab services from the time they arrive in the emergency department, throughout their care here, and through all the post-acute levels of care.” Having everything – speedy emergency care, advanced surgical techniques and the best in rehabilitation – makes Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center the smart choice for stroke care. “We’re equipped to handle all stroke cases, from the most complex to the least,” said Dillon. “Our patients don’t have to go anywhere else to find help.”
