When the time came to serve his country, Don Hickman didn’t wait for a draft notice. He didn’t even wait for his 18th birthday.

Hickman enlisted in the U.S. Navy at 17, before he’d finished high school, after the United States entered World War II. He was sent to the Pacific Theater and became a gunner’s mate aboard the USS Wesson, a destroyer es-

Baptist Church, in the 1930s. He eventually returned to Gibbs after working in Middle Tennessee and in North Carolina, and retired from TVA’s Bull Run Steam Plant as an electrician.

Hickman’s son Ray brought him to the reception. Ray enlisted in the U.S. Army and served in the 199th Infantry Brigade in Vietnam from late 1969 through 1970.

“The brigade was created just

to go to Vietnam and was in existence from 1966-70,” Ray said.

Ray was a military police officer assigned to provide security for convoys sent into the field to secure firebases.

“We would get ambushed, and when the bad guys started shooting at you, you shot back at the them.”

North Knox dilemma: Déjà Vu all over again?

By Betty Bean Dilemma Ultra Lounge and Grill, at 2630 N. Broadway, occupies the building that once housed Drumheller’s appliance store. Its landlord is Drumheller Real Estate Management, and it is surrounded by residential neighborhoods occupied by people who are losing patience with the club, which opened last November.

Last week, Dilemma owner Kevin Cherry attended the November meeting of the Oakwood Lincoln Park Neighborhood Association to defend his business.

Sean Wynne, who lives about 200 yards from the club on the other side of Broadway, said he posted the first complaint about

cort (DE-184), in 1944-45. He was onboard for the battles of Iwo Jima and Okinawa, two of the bloodiest battles of the war.

“I remember the noise and the smoke,” Hickman said at Gibbs Elementary School’s annual Veterans Day reception last Friday, Nov. 11.

Hickman attended the old Thompson School, which was near the former site of Clear Springs

the Dilemma Lounge on a Facebook page dedicated to Knoxville crime. He described being awakened by late night disturbances including yelling, cursing, loud music and gunshots. Others talked about drunks accosting passersby.

This year, the Knoxville Police Department has answered 25 calls to the club, which is typically open on weekends.

“One guy got shot in the stomach and ran to the Krystal (where employees called 911),” Wynne said. “A week later, there were five shots. They’re doing the same stuff as Déjà Vu,” he said, mentioning the Cherry-owned club in South Knoxville that was shut down by court order last April

after District Attorney General Charme Allen presented evidence that the club was a nuisance due to gun violence, drugs and gang activity. Cherry said he was able to keep the peace at Déjà Vu until the sheriff ordered off-duty deputies to stop working there as security.

He said some of his Dilemma customers are being falsely accused, and that he frequently hears the sounds of gunshots coming from surrounding neighborhoods. He believes that his business is wrongly blamed for any nearby crimes committed by African-Americans.

After the meeting, Cherry and Wynne talked. Cherry, whose Facebook page is replete with pleas to

Dilemma patrons to behave themselves in his club, said he is considering transforming his business into a sports bar/restaurant. Wynne agreed to further discussions, but said he remains skeptical.

One charge circulating on social media is patently false.

A photograph of Mayor Madeline Rogero allegedly dancing with Cherry’s son in the Dilemma Lounge spawned allegations that Rogero and KPD were “protecting” the place from law enforcement.

The picture was actually taken at an outdoor fundraiser for the proposed Change Center at the West Knoxville home of Sherri Lee. To page A-3 2704 Mineral Springs Ave. Knoxville, TN 37917 Ph. (865) 687-4537

Every third-grade student in Knox County Schools this year has or will soon have their own brand-new Webster’s Dictionary for Students – courtesy of the Rotary Club of Bearden. The club is presenting dictionaries to approximately 4,700 students at the district’s 51 elementary schools.

This is the 10th year for this project, led and directed from its inception by Bearden Rotarian Todd Wolfe, who was the club’s president in 2001-02. Todd is chief financial officer for ShofnerKalthoff Mechanical Electrical Services. This is the club’s largest capital expense at around $11,000, he said.

The club has presented more than 48,000 dictionaries so far, and next year that number will grow to more than 50,000.

“It has been said that the third grade is a time when children transition from ‘learning to read’ to ‘reading to learn,’ and we think the dictionaries are a big part of helping kids learn,” Todd said. “This also is part of our club’s focus on literacy.”

There’s much more to this project than just getting the books to the students. Todd and fellow Rotarian Brad Buckshorn lead the team of 50-60 Rotarians in unpacking the books, putting name labels in the front of each, then repacking the books and making presentations at each school. Knox County Schools delivers the boxes to the schools and Rotarians go to the schools to formally present the dictionaries. It is a labor of love!

Pamela Milliken, a substitute teacher, wrote to the club: “I had the pleasure of substitute teaching at Farragut Intermediate and after lunch took the kids to pick up their dictionaries. I wanted to share with you the pure happiness many of the students had. They each wrote their name in the front of the dictionary.

I wanted you to know what a difference these books make to these kids and to let you know your efforts were worth it and appreciated.”

How about a bow and standing ovation for Bearden’s Rotarians!

Central High School Key Club members attending the Northside Kiwanis Club meeting last week are Hanson Lam, Nathan Brummette, president Kylie Dowling and vice president Abbie White.

‘It changed my life’

Northside Kiwanis celebrates Key Club Week

You just never know what might end up changing a person’s life.

Jake Mabe

For Jordan Lester, it came innocently enough at first, when former Halls High School teacher H.C. Sumter recruited him into the Key Club.

Lester, a 2009 Halls graduate, was directionless his freshman year of high school. He admits his home life wasn’t the best of situations and describes himself that year as “a punk.� “It’s easy when you’re that age to get caught up in spending time with your friends and on your extracurricular activities,� Lester told the Northside Kiwanis Club last week at The Foundry. “But it gave me the drive to try to do some good in the world.�

Kiwanis is the parent

Fulton High School Key Club members attending the Northside Kiwanis Club meeting last week are vice president Kaela King and president Keilah King, who are twin sisters. service organization, if you will, to the Key Club, a student service organization.

Fountain City guy and Northside Kiwanis Club member Charles Harrington has been involved with area Key Clubs for the last 50 years. Each November, during National Key Club Week, he invites current and former Key Club members to speak at the club’s weekly meeting.

Northside sponsors Key Clubs at Central, Fulton and Halls high schools.

Lester said he learned

to look at the world with a broader lens while serving in Key Club. He served as the Halls club’s president for two terms and was also elected lieutenant governor for District 5-A. Under his leadership, the Halls club grew to 220-plus members, the largest Key Club the school has ever seen, “bigger than the football team and the Student Government Association combined at the time,� he said.

Key Club kept him focused. He learned leadership and organizational

Also in attendance were KPD Chief David Rausch and Pastor Daryl Arnold, members of the Change Center board. DJ Sterling Henton provided the music.

skills.

Today, Lester is teen athletics director at the Boys & Girls Club of Halls/Powell.

He coaches multiple youth sports teams. “I’m really thankful for the impact Key Club had on me. It changed my life.�

Fulton High School Key Club president Keilah King said she became interested in Key Club through her older sister. She said the club lost a lot of members to graduation, “and it gave us a change to reach out to new members.�

Among other things, the club will be participating in the Race Against Cancer, ringing bells for the Salvation Army and writing letters to soldiers.

Keilah said becoming president has boosted her self-confidence. She plans to become a medical malpractice attorney.

Central High School Key Club vice president Abbie White said the club also lost a lot of members to graduation last year, but has grown this year.

The club participated in the school’s freshman orientation, baked cookies for firefighters at the Knoxville Fire Department station on Jacksboro Pike near the school campus, entered a Llama Race sponsored by Northside Kiwanis, handed out candy in costumes at Boo at the Zoo, and is currently working on Operation Christmas Child and will participate in bell ringing for the Salvation Army at Food City.

Lester wished the Key Club members good luck. “These teenagers are our future,� he said.

Take it from someone who knows.

Charles McGill visits with his granddaughter, Chloe Beeler, at the Veterans Day reception. McGill served 21 years in the U.S. Army.

Saying thanks The Hickmans were chatting with Dave Wright, who represents District 8 on Knox County Commission.

Wright was drafted into the U.S. Army in 1966 and ultimately attended Officer Candidate School (OCS) at Fort Gordon, Ga. “Our class was divided into thirds,� Wright said. “One-third went straight to Vietnam, one-third went to Fort Sill, Okla., and then to Vietnam, and I was in the one-third that was sent to Germany.�

He was discharged as a first lieutenant in 1969.

Veterans, many of whom attended with their chil-

dren, grandchildren or great-grandchildren, were served dessert and coffee at the reception and treated to patriotic songs performed by students. Clear Springs Baptist pastor Jerry Vittatoe, who is a Vietnam veteran, also spoke.

Assistant principal Ashley Booher said that the event is her favorite of the school year, thanked the veterans in attendance and said the school is committed to holding the reception annually. “It’s already scheduled next year for Friday, Nov. 10, so mark your calendars,� she said.

Jalen Reeves-Maybin and what might have been Jalen Reeves-Maybin is the Tennessee poster person for what might have been.

He is a match for the team dilemma. This was going to be his finest season, a time to force skeptical scouts to rethink his NFL potential. This was going to be a march to the mountaintop for the Volunteers. It didn’t turn out that way.

Jalen still has a chance.

The athletic department still believes in the team. It is offering SEC championship game tickets for sale.

If Jalen can get healthy enough quickly enough, scouts will take another look. They are certain to have reservations about durability and size. They will measure him at 6 feet and a quarter-inch and look at each other and wonder how big is big enough.

Reeves-Maybin prob-

How different it could have been if his shoulder was well and his hard hat within reach. He has the other stuff – instincts, toughness and range. He had more than 100 tackles as a sophomore and junior.

He has excellent diagnostic skills. He was very good at wrecking screen passes. He slithered past blockers. He is light on his feet and accelerates quickly. Good balance allows him to change directions.

OK, the rest of the story: Pro people say he has narrow shoulders, short arms and limited bulk potential – capped at about what he is, 230. Jalen smiles and says he has the best dreadlocks on the squad.

Jalen Ahmad ReevesMaybin has a hyphenated name, a compromise to honor his mother, dearly

ably can’t be back at top strength for combine testing. That means archives double in importance and Butch Jones’ perception takes on added value. What the coach sees and says are gladiator, natural leader, heart of a lion, fight to the finish.

Captain Jalen put what he had on the line again the night after the South Carolina crusher. He named names, challenged individuals to stand up and accept responsibility. He called on the team to get its act together.

On churches and beer Last Tuesday, when the world was beginning to tilt on its axis, but before anyone realized it, Knoxville City Council discussed whether or not to uphold a decades-old ordinance that prohibits beer joints from being within 300 feet of churches.

For some, it was a matter of housekeeping. The current ordinance, which also prohibits beer permits for sites within 300 feet of schools, daycares, hospitals and funeral homes, is trumped by state law. Establishments with a state liquor license can sell beer, as well as liquor, without such limits, so it’s unfair to place greater restrictions on businesses that plan only to sell beer, they said.

For others, it was an attack on the safety and sanc-

passed on first reading at the Oct. 25 meeting.

Council member Brenda Palmer said she thought more churches would complain. She’d heard from seven members of one church, and two other individuals, but not from the variety she’d expected.

Council member Marshall Stair opined that churches aren’t complaining because they recognize that, because of state liquor licenses, the ordinance doesn’t have teeth.

It could also be because the world is changing, and churches are changing with it. The ordinance came under attack because two churches requested beer permits for special events, and it doesn’t make sense to protect churches against something they’re inviting

tity of churches. Jack Wallace, a deacon at Oakwood Baptist Church on Columbia Avenue, spoke against the change. He doesn’t like the idea of a tavern on the empty lot across the street from his church, and thinks many neighborhood churches could potentially face the same thing.

The result was postponement of a vote until Nov. 22.

Council member Nick Della Volpe was concerned that citizens hadn’t had time to digest the possible change, although it was discussed in March and

8ZW^QLQVO +IZM 8ZM[MZ^QVO ,QOVQ\a

beloved LaDawn Reeves over in Clarksville, and his father, Marques Maybin, former Louisville basketball player once pledged to the Vols.

As the name suggests, Jalen has already been through more than one either-or experience.

Back in January, after the romp over Northwestern, Jalen requested an NFL evaluation. Relatives and close friends told him he was great, clearly better than more famous all-American linebackers.

Professional analysts said careful now, don’t leave school early and plunge into the draft.

You don’t project as a firstrounder. You’d probably fall below big money.

Jalen, wise beyond his years, chose his college senior season. He earned his degree, major in recreation

and sport management, minor in business administration. He would take three African-American history courses for enlightenment.

He would finish unfinished stuff, help push Tennessee football over the top.

He said his only focus for this season was greatness in everything, on and off the field. He would be a mentor. He would show the NFL what it was missing.

You know how that turned out. He did not finish spring practice. His arm was in a sling, labrum torn again, two summer repairs.

The final blow came in the Ohio game, second quarter, downed and lost during punt coverage.

Jalen had shoulder problems all along. He was hurt in high school. He missed a lot of practice. Soon after his arrival in Knoxville, sur-

geons made a fi x.

He played mostly special teams as a freshman. He blocked a Georgia punt. He became a star. “He’s really cerebral, a really smart man,� said Tommy Thigpen, coach of linebackers. “Really understands situational football.�

Career landmarks? He intercepted one pass. It was against Florida. He gave up number 34 because young Darrin Kirkland really wanted it. He wears pink shoelaces in memory of a grandmother. He was in on 21 tackles against Oklahoma last season.

He made 13 in the Battle at Bristol. He tried to play against the Gators when he wasn’t able.

He had a pithy quote about setbacks: “It really pours when it rains.�

onto their property.

As OneLife Church pastor Rodney Arnold pointed out at last week’s meeting, the ordinance actually hurts churches that want to locate in nontraditional spaces like shopping centers. Landlords don’t want to rent to a church that might limit occupancy in nearby spaces, he said.

Beer joints are changing, too. Microbreweries, which are popping up all over town, are typically bright, modern facilities that cater to young and educated connoisseurs. According to a story published earlier this year in The Atlantic, craft breweries are one of 11 signs that a city will succeed.

They are typically small businesses that would struggle to pay the hefty fees associated with a liquor license.

Vice Mayor Duane Grieve, who voted against

lifting the buffer around businesses requiring a beer permit in March, says he’s changed his mind, in part, because of his positive experience with a craft brewery located near his Emory Place office. “It’s a neighborhood

gathering place.�

It seems like the world has turned upside down when churches ask for beer permits and breweries enhance our neighborhoods, but that’s the new reality.

It’s one of many we’re likely to face in coming months.

Knoxville mayor, chief honor firefighters Four members of the Knoxville Fire Department have been recognized by Mayor Madeline Rogero and fire chief Stan Sharp for their actions during a fire in May. Captain Rusty Singleton, master firefighter Hugh Laxton, senior firefighter Jordan Adcox and senior firefighter Jeff McSwain were cited for their efforts at an abandoned building on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. As the firefighters from Engine Company 2 advanced their hose line toward the flames, Singleton noticed a small flashlight in the hand of a trapped victim beating on a sub-ground level window from inside the burning structure. He and Adcox broke through the window and metal covering, grabbed the man and pulled him to safety.

Laxton covered the firefighters and victim with a shower of water which McSwain provided from the pump panel of the apparatus. Once the victim was pulled to safety, the crew treated his burns and prepared him for transport to an area hospital.

HALLS/FOUNTAIN CITY Shopper news • NOVEMBER 16, 2016 • A-5

For Democrats, what happens tomorrow?

Deadline closed in on this column before Democrat Gloria Johnson’s election challenge played out, but her legal action plus Monday’s scheduled counting of nearly 600 provisional ballots from all over the county were unlikely to produce enough votes in her District 13 House race for her to overcome her Republican opponent, Eddie Smith’s, 153-vote lead.

Johnson’s smart. She knew she was unlikely to win this battle.

So why did she do it?

Because she’s a fighter.

She wanted contact information for some 50 voters who ran afoul of the photo ID law when they went to vote.

These would-be voters had 48 hours to get down to the courthouse and “cure” the deficiency by presenting the required credentials. This process was impeded by the Veterans Day holiday Friday.

“We wanted the list so we could contact those people and make sure they under-

Betty Bean stood what they had to do,” Johnson said Friday night.

“The election commission refused to extend its hours, so it’s looking like the Democratic vote was suppressed.

We wanted to make sure they understood the process they had to complete to get their vote to count.”

If there aren’t enough provisional votes to change the outcome in District 13, Rick Staples – who won the District 15 House seat left vaRick Staples cant when incumbent Joe Armstrong was convicted in August of filing a false income tax return – becomes the only

Democrat in the Knox County legislative delegation.

Staples beat Independent Pete Drew (a former legislator and perennial candidate) 9,241 to 4,958. A third opponent, Rhonda “Mousie” Gallman, picked up 517 write-in votes.

Staples, who is heading to Nashville this week for an orientation session, has a lot to think about, and not just finding a place to live three days a week in Nashville when the legislative session begins in January. The sole Democrat in the delegation will have the opportunity to choose two members of the election commission in the spring.

Under the state’s hyperpartisan election laws, county legislative delegations appoint five board members to oversee the county election commissions. The majority party gets three appointments, the minority, two. This means that Staples, the junior member of the delegation, outnumbered 10-1 by

his Republican colleagues, will get to choose two election commissioners.

Staples said he will probably reappoint incumbent commissioner Cassandra McGee Stuart because he thinks her experience there is a valuable asset. The other Democrat, Andrew Roberto, has signaled that he will step down from the election commission and prepare to run for the District 2 City Council seat, now occupied

by Duane Grieve, who is term limited.

(Democrats fare well inside the city, and given the difficulties facing Democrats running in districts outside the city limits, nonpartisan city races have a lot of appeal to members of the minority party).

Staples is likely to fill Roberto’s seat with sitting party chair Cameron Brooks, a former election commissioner who last week told party leaders that he will step down as chair when his term ends in the spring.

Funding, finally, for First Creek greenway City Council has approved after five years of waiting $1.2 million for the First Creek greenway construction. This was a greenway promised by Mayor Rogero in her first budget message in 2011 and then quickly forgotten.

The past greenway coordinator had few achievements in her five years in Knoxville. Fortunately, she has left the city and moved to a related position in Chattanooga.

Knoxville now has a new blank sheet to start over on pushing greenways beyond a snail’s pace. Rogero does not place a high priority on greenways and the tragedy of the incredible delay of the First Creek greenway is that with active mayoral involvement, it could already have been completed and be in use now instead of just starting. Rogero may well be out of office by the time First Creek greenway becomes a reality.

A new greenway coordinator will be hired, and if David Brace is leading the search effort then we know it is in good hands.

Only time will tell if the city brings Carol Evans and Brian Hann (respected greenway advocates) into the interview process so those in the private sector who truly champion greenways can help shape the future.

■ With Donald Trump winning the presidency, all speculation of Mayor Rogero taking a position in the federal government ends.

She will serve out her term as mayor, which ends in December 2019.

This is disappointing news for Rogero. Her travels on climate change to China

KN-1353802

Victor Ashe

and the State Departmentsponsored travel to Turkey under President Trump are likely to end, so she will have more time in Knoxville. Her staff, which serves at her pleasure, such as Jesse Mayshark and Bill Lyons, are quietly happy that their jobs will continue until the end of 2019. A new mayor would have made changes in personnel.

Meanwhile, potential mayoral candidates have 2½ years to plan for their campaigns, and the council will not be choosing an interim mayor. The race for county mayor will continue to move along for 2018.

In Washington, TVA board appointments are pending from President Obama. Their fate lies in the hands of the GOP Senate, which continues under President Trump. It is entirely up to Sens. Bob Corker and Lamar Alexander whether these appointments are approved (all Democrats) or they expire in January and President Trump nominates three new members upon the likely recommendation of the two GOP Tennessee senators. One of the three is Mike McWherter, son of the late governor and 2010 Democratic candidate for governor against Bill Haslam.

Republicans will want to see the nominations expire so they can have three new directors. The board would

be reduced in size to six for several months as these three leave the board next month if not confirmed.

■ The Eddie Smith vs. Gloria Johnson race, as of this writing, continues but Smith is clearly holding the upper hand, even if by a narrow margin.

Smith now has won a primary and two general elections by fewer than 200 votes each time. He is a determined and successful candidate who specializes in cliffhanger elections.

However, the Sequoyah vote sheds some light on how it happened. Sequoyah is no longer a dependable GOP precinct in my view but a moderate group of folks who are very independent.

Marleen Davis beat County Commissioner Hugh Nystrom there in August. On Nov. 8, Hillary Clinton beat Donald Trump there by 1,125 to 881, a significant margin.

However, Johnson was unable to repeat the margin and several hundred Clinton voters then switched to vote for Smith, who narrowly carried Sequoyah 1,114 to 1,084 or 30 votes.

Had Johnson won 175 of the Clinton votes in Sequoyah she would have won the seat.

Under the state constitution, an election contest will be decided by the state House of Representatives which now has 74 GOP members out of 99, an increase of two members.

On the Johnson loss, another factor may have been that she did not have the full support of Knoxville’s most prominent Democrat, Mayor Rogero, who staged

a check presentation ceremony with Rep. Smith at Talahi Park to thank him for all his work right before the election.

Rogero did endorse Johnson and was a host on a reception or two but she was also covering her bets with Smith, which turned out to be wise on her part but not helpful to Johnson. There are levels of support for candidates and Rogero was a 5 for Johnson on a scale of 1 to 10.

■ Speculation is widespread that Sen. Corker may become secretary of state under Trump.

If so, it is an excellent choice and is well qualified.

The same talk then centers on whom Gov. Haslam would appoint as Corker’s successor to serve until November 2018.

Haslam has said he is more inclined to a caretaker if he has to make such an appointment. The list there is endless as is the list of those wanting such a plum appointment. Later columns will discuss who might be considered.

■ Former Gov. Phil Bredesen turns 73 next week on Nov. 21.

Sandra Clark rings the bell for Salvation Army.

A reflection on charity After a two-hour shift, I’ve gained respect for the Salvation Army bell ringers.

Wow, what a tough job.

My involvement started with a visit to Bill Weigel. I had called to discuss easements along Beaver Creek.

He said, “Come over right now.”

I walked into his office and he said, “I’ve been waiting for you!” I glanced over both shoulders. Yes, he was talking to me.

“I need your help,” he said. Since I was there to ask for his help, how could I say no?

Turns out Weigel has been a Salvation Army volunteer for 40 years, currently serving on the board.

He said the charity’s needs are growing faster than donations, and he wanted help to recruit volunteer bell ringers.

Did I feel like a dork, wearing a Santa hat and ringing a bell in front of the new Kroger? Absolutely.

Especially on Veterans Day. Here’s what I learned: ■ Kids are attracted to the bells and are eager to donate.

■ Some people are grumps; one dad actually told his kids they would wait until after Thanksgiving before giving.

■ Most people are kind, especially the teenagers who work at Kroger. They made eye contact, grinned every time they passed the bucket and, by shift’s end, they had contributed.

GOSSIP AND LIES ■ Ava Barber said it in a different context: Some days you eat chicken; some days you eat feathers.

■ Last week a kid at a local elementary school turned in his library books. His family is moving back to Mexico.

■ Hillary Clinton is eating feathers. Nov. 8 marked the end of her dream. Now everyone says they saw it coming.

Hey, no one saw it coming.

■ America’s strength is the waves of immigrants, risktakers all, who have come here.

■ Hillary was right about this: Donald Trump deserves an open mind and a chance to lead.

■ My Republican Party supports balanced budgets, free and fair trade, equal rights for all people and open arms for immigrants.

– S. Clark

Both the Halls and Powell business associations have provided volunteers.

The Kroger stations opened first, to be followed by Walmart, Hobby Lobby and Food City. Clare Crawford is contacting Lions Club for volunteers. The need for volunteers is overwhelming, but the Salvation Army is highly organized.

We’re looking for teams of two for two-hour shifts.

If you can help, contact Hannah Hankins at 9714937.

Meanwhile, I’ve got to get back to those easements!

Looking for help When passing a homeless person, you avoid eye contact and keep moving.

We do it a lot.

But when you’re standing by a Salvation Army bucket and a person approaches you, you’ve got to talk. That happened on Friday.

A slow-moving young man with dirty hair and torn pants walked up, saw the Salvation Army sign and asked for help. He had a silver ring through his nose. I explained that I was collecting donations. He said he had just rolled off a freight train. Then he sat down by my stand and lit a cigarette.

While I pondered my next move, a youngster approached and handed the man a bottle of water.

It was a simple gesture that meant a lot to the kid, the young man and me.

Writing a check is impersonal charity; ringing a bell is macro-charity. Handing a thirsty man some water is basic charity. The kid got it right.

Suzanne and Charles Kryder have enjoyed many Mighty Musical Mondays over the past 4-5 years.

The Mighty Musical Monday program at the Tennessee Theatre started out 15 years ago as just an idea to draw more exposure to the newly restored 1928 Wurlitzer organ.

“If we got 250 people we would declare victory and go home,” said theater organist Dr. Bill Snyder.

The free program at the noon lunch hour grew little by little, and now draws up to 1,000 people every first Monday of the month. Robin Flenniken, who reached out to senior centers and living communities, helped create a large and faithful audience of seniors.

So there was a lot to celebrate on Sunday, Oct. 30, when some previous guest performers returned and Snyder was honored with a surprise legislative proclamation of “Dr. William T. Snyder Day.” All the MMM regulars were there, including Barney Fife (Sammy Sawyer), coorganist Freddie Brabson and Denise “Neesee” Hurst, who plays for the people in the lobby as they come in.

Returning to perform were vocalists Elizabeth Appunn and Natalee Beeler Elkins, organist Paul Swiderski, the ensemble of Kukuly and the Fuego, and WUOT-FM’s Kelle Jolly – with her ukelele and her husband, woodwinds ace Will Boyd.

The real star, as usual, was the theater.

It’s “marvelous,” said Suzanne Kryder, who lives near Fountain City and is a regular attendee of MMM with her husband, Charles.

She said some of their favorite MMM performers over the years were the klezmer band Dor L’Dor, and the high school groups, particularly the Central High choral groups at Christmastime.

Chris and Ray Bray came for the Oct. 30 celebration, never having been inside the theatre before.

Over time they had visited downtown and would see that “majestic sign” outside, but anytime they thought of going, the shows would be sold out. Which, as Snyder would say, is what Mighty Musical Monday is about – to give people who might not have a chance to enjoy the theater a time to come for some free entertainment.

The Brays, who moved from Rochester N.Y., now live in northeast Knoxville.

In keeping with the occasion, Snyder played “Thanks for the Memories.” But it wouldn’t be complete without “The Tennessee Waltz.” Some people, Snyder said, think “the organ won’t go down unless you play The Tennessee Waltz.”

The next Mighty Musical Monday, featuring the O’Connor Center Singing Seniors, will be Monday, Dec. 5, at noon.

Register for: Field trip to Mighty Musical Monday at the Tennessee Theatre, 11 a.m. Monday, Dec. 5: O’Connor Singing Seniors will perform; box lunch, $5. Thanksgiving Brunch potluck, noon Tuesday, Nov. 22; RSVP with dish to be shared..

Wallace Memorial students are ‘Unhindered’

By Stacy Levy Wallace Memorial Church Student Ministries is made up of eight high schools and at least 10 middle schools from all across Knox County, including the Powell area. Every Wednesday night students hang out, worship together and hopefully hear a meaningful message that will speak directly to their lives.

In early November, 80 students, 22 leaders and 20 hosts and co-hosts were involved in a student ministry called Unhindered.

Unhindered is a weekend devoted to the spiritual development. They were involved in two worship services, three in-depth Bible studies, and a large game called Organized Mass Chaos (they borrowed the idea for this game from LifeWay Christian Resources).

Church members opened up their homes for the weekend and allowed students to stay there, they fed them, and gave them a safe space to talk about the importance of living a selfless life for Christ. Unhindered is a weekend the youth look forward to every year.

“This year’s theme was ‘anomaly,’” said youth minister Jarred Morgan. “To be an anomaly is to deviate from the norm. The students went through three sessions based off of James

Lesson from the marshes But its swamps and marshes will not become fresh; they are to be left for salt.

(Ezekiel 47:11 NRSV) Oh, like to the greatness of God is the greatness within The range of the marshes, the liberal marshes of Glynn. (“The Marshes of Glynn,” Sydney Lanier) I learned the words of Lanier’s wonderful poem the way I learned most of the poetry I carry in my head: I sang it.

It was introduced to me when I was in UT Singers.

I fell in love with its words: the beauty, mystery, and melancholy.

So, on a recent trip through Georgia, I mentioned casually to Lewis that the marshes around us reminded me of “The Marshes of Glynn.” About three minutes later, I saw a sign that said “Leaving Glynn County.”

Duh! I had been riding through those very marshes! I was in Lanier’s home country!

Ezekiel promises that “On the banks, on both sides of the river, there will grow all kinds of trees for food.

Their leaves will not wither nor their fruit fail, but they will bear fresh fruit every month, because the water for them flows from the sanctuary. Their fruit will be for food, and their leaves for healing.”

I felt blessed, giving quiet thanks for the gift of seeing the marshes I had sung about. I also thought about Ezekiel’s healing leaves.

Then I wondered if we ever slow down enough, get quiet enough to notice the water flowing from the sanctuary. Do we pay attention to the fresh fruit God gives us every day? (I will concede that some days the fruit is not what we expected, or wanted. But the truth is, we don’t turn in our order to God, as if the Almighty was some kind of waiter!)

Or do we?

“They discussed how they don’t have to live the way society tells them to live. To live for Christ is to live like an anomaly. We gave them three different characteristics that indicated whether or not someone was living differently. Be a doer, deviate and lead.

“If students have these characteristics, they will definitely be an anomaly as a teenager in today’s culture,” said Morgan.

“I really liked Unhindered. It was a really fun time with all of my friends and we all just grew closer to God and to each other.

I can’t wait for next year,” said Powell High sophomore Marena Bedwell.

The students are involved in many ministries at Wallace Memorial. They have been partnering with a ministry in Honduras, “Hope Through Him,” to assist them in their ministry in the villages surrounding El Progresso (just outside San Pedro Sula). They send teams there to go to villages to assist in a feeding program, do crafts, play games, and talk about Bible stories that would point them to Jesus.

“We do a lot of different activities throughout the year, but our hope is to remind students of what God has called us to collectively as we seek to advance the name of Jesus,” said Morgan.

Then there’s the Living

Christmas Tree, which is somewhat of a tradition in North Knoxville. This is the 44th year that Wallace Memorial has performed The Living Christmas Tree.

Wallace Memorial has 79 students singing on the tree, but they hope to add at least 20, maybe more.

“It’s my hope as their pastor to instill in them a love for God that is rooted in the grace of Christ.

When students graduate from high school we simply want them to know what they believe and why they believe it. We want students to develop relationships with those who don’t know Christ and give people a reason to choose the love of Christ over other things,” said Morgan.

Empowering families one at a time

Meet cousin Cassie

By Kip Oswald Last week I wrote about a lot of women who were the first to do some amazing things in our country, state, and town.

In my own family I wrote about my GramKip mie, who was the first female class president in her high school, and my sister Kinzy, who plans to be the first female to go to college and become a doctor.

I am reminding my readers of this because we had another first in our family this week that was not so fabulous. My dad’s sister, Aunt Janni, was the first person to get arrested in our family. She evidently did something really bad, because my mom won’t tell me exactly what it was, but I do know she is in jail for a while.

Since I imagine we aren’t the first family to have this happen, I thought it would be good for my readers to realize what happens to people’s kids when they go to jail. So Aunt Janni’s daughter, Cassie, who is 8

years old, was taken away from her home at the same time her mom was arrested.

Cassie had to spend the night in some stranger’s house, so my mom went to court and asked the judge if Cassie could live with us.

The judge sent some people to our house to look in all our rooms and ask us a lot of questions. After a couple of days, Cassie got to come to live with us.

Cassie is in third grade at another school, but Mom didn’t want Cassie to change schools since she had to move houses and get used to a new family, too.

I can tell all the changes are really hard on Cassie and she really misses her mom.

Even though she is really sad, she hides it well. It has made me look at the kids around me differently, because I don’t know what might be going on in their lives, just like anyone looking at Cassie can’t tell how much sadness she feels right now.

With Thanksgiving coming soon, we will look at Cassie’s story again next week and think about the things we are thankful for this Thanksgiving. Send those “Thankful!” comments to oswaldsworldtn@ gmail.com.

By Ruth B R th White Whit Just meeting Florence Ndiaye for the first time, I could tell that she had a servant’s heart and she was doing what she was meant to accomplish. Upon my arrival to the Parent Resource Center (PRC) at Whittle Springs Middle School, Ndiaye gave me a big hug as a greeting and was eager to show me inside.

The PRC is only a few years old and was a vision of principal Nadriene Jackson. Ndiaye had applied to be a teacher at the school, but Jackson saw something special in her and knew that she had the perfect role for her at WSMS. Jackson had written a grant and received approval to open a resource center for the parents at her school – a first in Knox County – and brought Ndiaye on board to help put the project’s wheels in motion.

The resource center offers clothing, shoes, school supplies, basic toiletries, food and other necessities for children of Whittle Springs Middle. The school is a 1-to-1 technology school where students use Chromebooks during school hours.

Parents without access to a computer are able to check out a laptop through the center for a one-month period when available. Ndiaye shared that last year a grandmother/guardian of a student had checked out a laptop on several occasions during the year. This guardian came to Ndiaye after she received her income tax and was proud to have been able to purchase her own laptop.

Ndiaye refers to her center as a “no judgment zone” and works hard to make sure parents and students are comfortable and are

respected. In addition to clothing/food needs, parents have an opportunity to use the computer lab, receive resume writing help, check emails and more. “I want to empower families one at a time,” she said. “I want the families here to know just how amazing they are.” Ndiaye does just that through encouragement, guidance, assistance and connecting with them in her loving way.

She works to connect families with one another, creating lasting friendships and support systems of friends. Through an incentive program, parents are able to connect through events, and each time they attend, names are placed on record. At a later event, names are drawn for prizes. “One family received a washer and dryer that was donated by a business in the community, and others have received a microwave and a tablet.”

In addition to running the center, Ndiaye teaches sign language to close to 20 students every morning before the first bell. She also educates them on the deaf culture and possible career paths in the future. Twice a month, the Scarf Club meets during lunch period and girls come together for girl talk. Each girl wears a scarf that day (whether it be from home or from her basket of scarves) and Ndiaye teaches them how to love one another, stand tall and support one another. She uses her life experiences to show the students that they can succeed regardless of their background/circumstances.

This holiday season, she hopes to have 200 children sponsored through Angel Tree. Her goal is to help families and to relieve some of

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

If at first you don’t succeed Dail finds vast improvements in CPAP second time around Hard work helped make this country great. Union County Commissioner Stanley Dail believes that with all his heart, and he has a work ethic that dictates self-sufficiency and getting the job done no matter how long it takes.

At 67, Dail can look back with pride on a lifetime of hard work. But it’s ironic that he has more energy for work now during his retirement years than he did a decade ago.

It’s because he’s getting the right amount of sleep, something he couldn’t say even a few years back. Dail credits the Sleep Center at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center.

“They do a tremendous job,” Dail says.

“Everyone has been wonderful, from the receptionist to the technicians and the doctor who worked with me.”

Tossing, turning, and snoring, Dail had been aware he wasn’t sleeping well for a while. But in 2009, when a coworker mentioned that she had been in a traffic accident caused by her drowsy driving, Dail sat up and took notice.

When he told her he’d also had trouble staying awake behind the wheel, she told him to go to the Sleep Center at Fort Sanders Regional. Dail didn’t need to be persuaded further because, already having had two surgeries at Fort Sanders, he was fully aware of the hospital’s reputation.

“When I had my knee replacement, that was the best experience I’ve ever had in a hospital,” Dail says. “I would not recommend that anybody go anywhere else.

That’s how much I’m sold on it.”

After participating in a sleep study at the center, Dail was prescribed a Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machine, a device that uses mild air pressure to keep airways open while a person sleeps. Unfortunately, that CPAP didn’t work very well for Dail back then.

“I hated it,” he says flatly. “I was working two jobs, and it was hard to get home in time to put it on, it was a full face mask, and it was dry.”

Dail couldn’t make using the CPAP a regular routine, and ended up turning the equipment back in. The CPAP was no longer a part of his life, but the sleep problems were still there.

In 2015, Dail decided it might be worth

Department

trying again because, after all, he believes in working hard till you finish what you start, and this predicament clearly wasn’t finished.

The quality of his sleep had not changed, and he’d also begun to hear good things from other people about the newer CPAPs. “I have three cousins who are on the CPAP, and they do very well on them,” Dail says.

He returned to the Sleep Center, and went through another sleep study. “The staff here does a tremendous job of working with you,” Dail says as he sits comfortably in one of the sleep study rooms.

Several CPAP masks were tried before he bedded down for the night. When he awoke around 12:30 a.m., a technician switched him to a different one, and he drifted off to sleep within minutes.

“The next thing I remember was hearing her talking to me through the intercom saying, ‘Stan, it’s 6:30 - you said you wanted to wake up at 6:30.”

It was the first time in a long time that Dail had slept so peacefully for that many hours. Having been through the process before, Dail knew this meant he would have to get in the habit of using a CPAP machine all over again, but this time it

was different because CPAP machines have come a long way.

Instead of a full face mask, his new CPAP is compact, it settles just under the nose, and is easy to wear. Modern CPAP machines also include water, so they don’t leave the wearer dry.

The dramatic change in the machine made a dramatic difference for Dail. “I use it every night, and I look forward to getting to bed now to get my rest,” Dail says.

“I’m alert, I’ve not had drowsy driving in months, and I’m just very pleased.”

It’s a far cry from the way he felt about his old CPAP machine. “I don’t hate it, at all!” Dail says now.

A farmer, a collector of relics, and serving his community on the Union County Commission, Dail continues to put his work ethic to the test every day, well rested and always ready to go. “If you have a sleep problem, snoring, drowsy driving – go to the sleep center and get it taken care of,” Dail says.

Sacrificing sleep z z

If you try to wind down at night by scrolling through Facebook or catching up on emails, you may be doing yourself more harm than good. The director of Fort Sanders Regional Sleep Disorder Center says the very tools you’re using to wind down, could be winding you up, instead.

“That blue light is more of an alerting stimulus,” says Thomas Higgins, MD, director of the Sleep DisThomas Higgins, orders Center at Fort MD Sanders Regional. “So it’s a good idea to turn off all your electronic devices 30 minutes to an hour before you go to bed.”

Another common barrier to a good

night’s sleep is a hard day’s work. Participants in a recent study who reported sleeping six hours or less at night usually reported working an average of one to two hours more per day than their counterparts who slept longer.

You may be getting more hours of work in when you sacrifice sleep for your job, but Higgins says the quality of your work is probably suffering in the process.

“Eve ry part of the body is affected by sleep, including the brain,” Higgins says.

“Emotional stability, concentration, and alertness are affected, and things we learn are processed while we sleep.”

Higgins says recent studies have shown that the brain produces chemicals while we’re awake that need to be cleared out during sleep. “If you’re not getting enough sleep, it can actually physically damage the brain,” Higgins says. “People who have sleep apnea and insufficient sleep are more

Chronic sleep deprivation can lead to serious health problems.

likely to develop Alzheimer ’s disease at an earlier age, depression, high blood pressure, diabetes, and heart problems.”

Sleep deprived workers are more likely to overeat, too. Higgins says insufficient sleep over a period of time affects brain chemistry and the hormones that help regulate appetite, so you tend to eat more high carbohydrate, fatty foods.

While there’s no magic number of hours every person needs to sleep, Higgins says most adults should try to get 7 to 9 hours of shut eye, and teens should sleep for 8 to 9 hours every night.

If you’re getting the recommended amount of sleep most nights but still feel sleepy during the day, you could be suffering from a sleep disorder.
