Down but not out

Wolf and Pearson avoid lengthy injuries, status for Oklahoma in doubt Troy Provost-Heron Sports Editor (@TPro_UTDB)

As Von Pearson and Ethan Wolf were carried off the field, their injuries quickly became two of the more memorable moments of the Volunteer’s 34-19 victory over Arkansas State on Sunday.

Fears of losing the duo for the season, however, were lifted Tuesday as Tennessee head coach Butch Jones updated the status of Wolf and Pearson

heading into preparations for Oklahoma.

“Ethan Wolf, right now, he is questionable,” Jones said.

“I think we have received great news on both him and Von Pearson. Ethan Wolf had a bruised knee, so it will be about how his body recovers with the rehab and I will know a little bit more later in the week about his status for this week’s game.

“Von Pearson will be out this game and we will see how his body progresses. Right now, it is a high ankle sprain. I just left Von and he is in great spirits.

The great thing is we antici-

pate getting him back very soon because as you know he adds a whole other dynamic to our offense, but also his competitive nature is something our kids feed off of.”

Tight ends Brendan Downs and Daniel Helm will take most – if not all – of the snaps in Wolf’s absence, while Jason Croom, Josh Malone and Josh Smith will be asked to take more reps to fill the void left by Pearson, with the possibility of freshman Vic Wharton also stepping in barring his health.

Pearson’s absence comes just as the 6-foot-3, 183-pound wide reciever established him-

self as one of UT’s most effective playmakers, but fellow teammates believe the rest of the receivers are ready to step up as he watches from the sideline.

“We have a lot of mature younger guys who are ready to fill his shoes,” junior wide receiver Alton “Pig” Howard said. “Von is a big part of the receiver corps, but coach Jones and his staff did a great job of bringing in other great talent ... Everyone has a job to do and if we continue to play for each other, we’ll be alright.”

Outlaw legend brought to life by Knoxville records

Hank Williams’ story captivates Clarence Brown Theatre Marina Waters Contributor

Knoxville resident, Jackson Bogach, is still unsure whether his tap water is safe to drink or cook with without first pouring it through a filtered water pitcher.

“I have always heard that Knoxville has poor water quality, among the worst for a city in the United States,” Bogach said.

“Water filters are a cheap, viable alternative to getting sick from the bad bacteria that may be living in the water.”

The lights slowly dim as the crowd’s shuffling ceases. The theatre falls silent as a slide guitar rings out. A blues singer steps on stage, belting a gospel tune soulful enough to draw a spontaneous “Amen!” from the audience.

And that’s when a tall, lanky man in a slightly crooked cowboy hat appears.

Suddenly, you’re in Georgiana, Alabama in 1937, watching the life of a country music legend begin.

“Hank Williams: Lost Highway” is the musical biography of a country musician that shaped the genre. Throughout September, his story will unfold in Clarence Brown Theatre, taking audiences on a journey from Hank’s humble beginnings in Alabama to his untimely death at the age of 29.

The historic play opened Thursday night, a fitting choice for CBT’s 40th anniversary season opener.

Williams had a short but monumental country music career. In addition to becoming a Grand Ole Opry regular, he released 35 songs; 11 of which hit number one on Billboard’s Country and Western Best Sellers chart. Twenty of those famous hits, including “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry,” “Move It On Over” and “Hey, “Good Lookin’,” are performed in the musical.

Williams wasn’t just a fantastic country music singer. He was also a successful songwriter who lived out all his lonesome, whiskey soaked lyrics.

Karen Kessler, director of “Hank Williams: Lost Highway” and professor at Ball State University, described the play’s main character as a star with a tragic flaw which leads to his demise.

“And maybe Hank’s star burned too bright,” Kessler said.

“He tried, but he could never win his battle with the bottle.

It killed him. It killed him at 29.

“But his lonesome sound is with us forever.”

Liv McConnell Projects Editor

A Western outlaw, a bar brawl and a mad dash for freedom across the Gay Street bridge: these fabled elements comprise the tale of one of Knoxville’s most notorious visitors, Harvey Long.

More popularly remembered in American folklore by his alias, “Kid Curry,” Long rose to infamy as a member of Butch Cassidy’s Hole in the Wall Gang, one of the nation’s foremost outlaw troupes. The

circumstances of his stay in Knoxville — and his escape — have become as mythic and muddled as the man himself.

“Unlike similar figures who wrote autobiographies, Long never got to tell anybody exactly what he was feeling or anything like that,” said Bob Hutton, UT history professor and author of “Bloody Breathitt: Politics and Violence in the Appalachian South.” “A lot of what has been said and written about Kid Curry is probably untrue.”

Allegedly the wildest and most violent member of the “Wild Bunch,” much of what is

factually certain about Long’s life comes from police reports akin to those he generated in Knoxville. Our scene unfolds in a pool hall in the presentday Old City, then known as the Bowery, one December night some 113 years ago.

At the turn of the century, The Bowery was a burgeoning red light district rife with seedy bars, brothels and cocaine houses. Its proximity to the river and a Southern Railway System stop made the area both “an easy stopover for all kinds of travelers” and a “magnet for virtually every kind of undesirable element and activity imagin-

able,” as Sylvia Lynch wrote in her book, “Harvey Logan in Knoxville.”

As a man on the lam, Logan was in his element here. Only five months prior, he and the other members of the Hole in the Wall Gang robbed the Great Northern Express train in Montana and successfully made off with more than $40,000 of loot. After such a heist, keeping a low profile was crucial and Long had been doing just that — until his temper got in the way on the night of Dec. 13, 1901.

Stepping into Ike Jones’ Saloon, Long made an impression in his “ brown well-cut

suit and soft crush blue hat,” Lynch recalled. “He swilled liquor from a shot glass and told anyone who cared to listen that he was ‘something of a man himself.’”

After getting into a quarrel over a game of pool, he initiated a brawl with two other men that attracted authorities, said local historian and journalist Jack Neely.

“Local police heard he was in a pool hall on Central, and knowing he was an infamous criminal, two cops converged to arrest him,” Neely said.

“He shot them both and fled.”

Knoxville works to improve water quality Jenna Butz Arts & Culture Editor (@butzjenna)

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency includes 12,914.6 miles of Tennessee’s rivers and streams on its national list of impaired water sources, 152.1 miles of which supply Knoxville’s drinking water.

Agricultural runoff, E. coli and habitat alterations are

largely responsible for compromising these water sources. In light of these threats to public safety, efforts have been made to improve local water quality.

Last year, Michael McKinney, UT’s director of environmental studies and sustainability, revealed to The Daily Beacon that Knoxville’s water was “not legally (meeting) certain safety criteria.” Since then, McKinney has observed the city’s renewed commitment to increasing the quality of Knoxville’s water, as

Editorially independent student newspaper of the University of Tennessee established in 1906

well as residents’ lives.

“The city has been increasingly investing large amounts (of money) into reducing harmful storm water drainage into the Tennessee River and local urban creeks,” McKinney said. “This involves better drainage systems, retention ponds and especially riparian buffer zones.

“Also, Knoxville Utilities Board has been modernizing their sewer pipe lines to reduce leakage. We have a long way to go but things have been slowly

improving thanks to a city government that is more interested in environmental protection in recent years.”

Joanne Logan, a UT associate professor in biosystems engineering and soil science, believes that the influence of a more “environmentally friendly” city mayor has helped improve the Tennessee River, in addition to work by Knoxville’s Stormwater Office and UT’s Office of Sustainability.

Despite these improvements, residents remain skeptical. South

Students create policies for local issues Bradi Musil Assistant News Editor (@bradi4)

research, they begin constructing a two-page policy piece to submit to the “10 Ideas Journal,” a national publication run by the Roosevelt Institute.

Last year, McKenzie submitted a policy piece on UT facilities service workers and the importance of providing a living wage.

Chosen for publication in the “10 Ideas Journal,” the piece highlighted the benefits of increased wages for the university and employees and included a section for next steps on how to apply the policy. With its publication, this piece spotlighted the issue and placed it on a national stage.

The Roosevelt Institute Campus Network chapters, Smith explained, are completely student-run, whereas the Roosevelt Institute’s primary function is to assist students in developing their campaigns, writing about their policies and connecting with the appropriate stakeholders. After they are provided a rubric for success, students have the freedom to conduct research and write policies on their own.

“We try to push and help up to a certain point that is useful,” Smith said, “but once they are off and running, they tend to forget to tell us where they ran to.”

Madelyn Schorr, the regional coordinator for the southern region, noted the unique opportunities afforded to chapters in the South.

“The South is different than other regions, because unlike the North, or even the Mid-Atlantic,

we normally have schools with largely conservative populations,” Schorr said. “Although many would see this as a challenge, we like to think of this as a way to get creative in how we market Roosevelt on their campus.”

This year, UT’s chapter will recruit a team of two or three students to work solely on issues highlighted in the Rethinking Communities campaign, a national initiative asking students to apply pre-determined policy topics to their college or university with the intent to improve the surrounding area.

Students will also continue to write policies for publication in the “10 Ideas Journal.” Over the summer, McKenzie and other members of the UT chapter collaborated on a proposal to allocate a greater portion of student fees towards organizations that do community outreach and education programs. They plan to spend this year trying to push the implementation of that policy.

“I am a little biased, but I wholeheartedly believe that the power of this network comes from the students we work with every day,” Schorr said. “It isn’t every so often one will come across an organization that will allow you to do something concrete concerning something you are passionate about.”

The Roosevelt Institute’s next meeting is at 6 p.m. on Sept. 15 in room 58 of the Humanities and Social Sciences building.

Breathe in, breathe out Student organization promotes focus and relaxation Staff Writer

In the 1930s, Franklin Delano Roosevelt introduced a New Deal for the American people. Today, the Roosevelt Institute is continuing that legacy.

The Roosevelt Institute Campus Network, one chapter of the non-profit think tank, is a nationwide organization giving students across the country the skills to solve local problems using public policy. The University of Tennessee’s Roosevelt chapter was officially established in 2012.

Patrick McKenzie, sophomore in biochemical and molecular biology and director of UT’s chapter, emphasized the importance of giving students the power to make local change through policy.

“Public policy is a tool that is relevant to everyone in the U.S.,” McKenzie said. “It’s for everybody because policy affects everybody ... Policy might become what is holding you back or allowing you access ... It’s important to have an organization on campus dedicated to it.”

Approximately 100 to 150 campuses across the U.S. have Roosevelt Institute Campus Network chapters, said Alan Smith, associate director of networked initiatives at Roosevelt’s national office. Divided into six regions, students in each chapter identify problems in their area and explore policies to address these issues. Ultimately, the goal is to solve local issues with an eye toward widespread progress.

“We try to push folks to work hyper-locally,” Smith said. “If we create a sense of local change, then (students) can begin making changes nationally.”

UT’s chapter is composed of 20 to 30 students, majoring in diverse subjects like political science, physics and journalism.

In the fall, these students begin exploring issues present on campus and the Knoxville area and creating their policy proposals.

For college students, even a 60 second break seems like a luxury. The Mindfulness and Meditation Club, however, hopes to give them an entire 20 minutes.

Founded in 2013, the Mindfulness and Meditation Club was started by a group of UT students seeking an organization that focused solely on living in the present. Gabriel Hanas, senior in computer science and co-president of the club, said the group uses meditation to reduce stress.

“We want to go about living a more mindful life and live in the present moment, and not live in past moments or worry too much about the future,” Hanas said. “We want to just enjoy what we have at this moment.

“The idea of that is, when you meditate, you’ll be focused on some aspect, either a mantra or your breath, and you’ll just notice a thought. And when you notice that thought, you say ‘Oh, I was meditating, let me go back to focusing on my breath.’”

Hanas said meditation often requires catching yourself drifting away from whatever you want to focus on, then returning to your focused thought. Ideally, a person will focus on the present moment and not allow their thoughts to become cluttered

with everyday concerns.

Rebecca Neighbor, a senior in chemistry and biochemistry, cellular and molecular biology and the organization’s vice president, said the club provides a chance for students to increase focus.

“We get so stressed and distracted by texting, video games, whatever, and this is really good to help focus just on studying or something,” Neighbor said.

Both Hanas and Neighbor credit meditation with helping them overcome worry.

“I’ve started having miniature panic attacks recently, and I’ve used this to help with that,” Hanas said. “That’s really just allowed me to calm myself down.”

Hanas and Neighbor formed the organization after taking the first year studies mindfulness and meditation course.

“It was just something that had spoke to us, and it improved our life,” Hanas said. “It sounds a little cheesy to say, but I’ve really felt a difference after sitting, like even once a week and meditating. I just felt more focused afterwards.”

Members begin each meeting by discussing the benefits of their past meditation practices, then meditating for 20 minutes.

Meetings end with a discussion about how the meditation went. The group also teaches new mediation techniques.

Sometimes, the group works on Qigong, a system of physical and breathing exercises similar to tai

chi. They occasionally pair with the Philosophy Club for meetings as well.

The organization currently plans to hold a retreat in spring, in addition to a few nature meditations. The group is also interested in taking an archery class together.

“Absolutely everybody should at least come and try it out,” Hanas said. “It’s not for everybody. We’ve had people come and go, but it’s definitely worth a try and see what you think about it personally. It can only benefit you to come.”

The Mindfulness and Meditation Club is always looking for new members. Both Hanas and Neighbor have been pleased with the amount of new faces at this semester’s meetings.

“Meditation and mindfulness is something that we think everyone should experience because it will just make the campus better as a whole if everyone’s positive and happy and not stressed,” Neighbor said. “It’s different, it’s neat. There’s not anything else like it on campus.”

The Mindfulness and Meditation Club meets every Wednesday in the UC at 5:30 p.m. Interested participants and new members are encouraged to come at 5 p.m. to learn more about the club and the basics of meditation.

For more information, students can visit the organization’s Facebook Page or Twitter account (@UTK_MM_Club).

WATER QUALITY continued from Page 1 The EPA has yet to produce its 2013 water quality report, preventing citizens from gauging precisely how effective the local government’s actions have been.

Until the formal report is released, the EPA requires drinking water suppliers to “provide reports (sometimes called consumer confidence reports) that tell where drinking water comes from and what contaminants may be in it,” according to their website. The public can then access

these reports for objective, concrete information regarding their water.

McKinney also encouraged residents to “stop dumping lots of herbicides and fertilizers on our lawns,” and “keep up the pressure on public officials and especially politicians to stop weakening the laws that protect our environment.” He additionally recommended pushing harder for laws regulating how developers and farmers manage their waste. Agricultural runoff, he noted, is “largely not regulated in Tennessee due to the historical leeway given to farmers.”

Still, McKinney acknowledged

the necessity of staying “realistic that our waters cannot be totally pristine.” City officials can only do so much, especially given the size of the local population, which currently hovers at 180,200 citizens, according to the 2012 United States Census Bureau.

Logan agreed, saying that the growing student population is “one of the largest obstacles Knoxville will face in improving water.”

ARTS & CULTURE Chick-fil-A’s S. Truett Cathy dies at 93 Associated Press

Chick-fil-A founder and billionaire S. Truett Cathy rose from poverty, building a privately held restaurant chain that famously closes every Sunday but drew unwanted attention for the Cathy family’s opposition to gay marriage.

Cathy died early Monday at 93.

He opened his first postwar diner in an Atlanta suburb in 1946 and by 1967 he had founded and opened his first Chick-fil-A Inc. restaurant in Atlanta. Over ensuing decades, the chain’s boneless chicken sandwich he is credited with inventing would propel Chick-fil-A expansion to more than 1,800 outlets in 39

states and the nation’s capital.

By early 2013, the company says on its website, annual sales topped $5 billion as the chain offered up a taste of the South that went beyond chicken to such offerings as sweet tea, biscuits and gravy.

Under the religiously conservative founder, the chain gained prominence for its Bible Belt observance of Sunday. None of its hundreds of restaurants are open on that day, to allow employees a day of rest. Its executives often said the chain made as much money in six days as its competitors do in seven.

Those religious views helped win Cathy and his family a loyal following from conservative customers, but also invited protests when Cathy’s son defended the company’s donations to groups campaigning against gay marriage.

Cathy’s son, Dan, currently

chairman and president of the chain, had told the Baptist Press in 2012 that the company was “guilty as charged” for backing “the biblical definition of a family.” Gay rights groups and others called for boycotts and kiss-ins at Cathy’s restaurants. The Jim Henson Co. pulled its Muppet toys from kids’ meals, while politicians in Boston and Chicago told the chain it is not welcome there.

The controversy later subsided.

The family-owned company has said it has had 46 consecutive years of positive sales growth. Cathy’s $6 billion fortune put him on the yearly Forbes magazine list of the wealthiest Americans in the country. The company listed him on its website as its chairman emeritus after he left day-to-day operations to younger generations.

Twitter weighs in on the death of the founder of Chick-fil-A, Truett Cathy.

HANK WILLIAMS continued from Page 1 It’s that lonesome melody and compelling biography that is sure to captivate any crowd.

The New York Post called Lost Highway, “the best example of a musician’s bio put on stage...,” while Rolling Stone called the show, “Exhilarating!

A rare achievement in musical theater!” And that it is; the story is both intriguing and entertaining for a multitude of reasons.

The country superstar’s biography is not only told through a solid theatrical performance, though. It is also accompanied by a live four-man band known as the Drifting Cowboys.

Williams is played by Peter Oyloe, who has been nominated for theatrical awards for his role as Williams. Williams’ loyal friends and band members include Ed Sublett as Hoss on the upright bass, Jared Weiss as Jimmy “Burrhead” on the electric guitar and Seth Hopper on the fiddle and mandolin.

KID CURRY continued from Page 1 Badly injured but unwilling to surrender, Logan leapt from the saloon’s back door and down some 15 feet into the First Creek ravine. He evaded capture on foot for two days before being apprehended in Jefferson City.

Upon being returned to Knoxville, Logan was greeted by the public not as a known killer and thief, but as a celebrity and a curiosity.

“Somewhere between two and three thousand people had gathered in the cold December air hoping to catch a glimpse of the infamous ‘Kid Curry,’” Lynch writes. “Police were seen actually beating men away from the wagon as they craned to see (him).”

Logan remained in Knoxville for the next 18 months as a local, while national law enforcement bickered over whose right it was to bring him to trial. During this time, Tennesseans visited Logan by the hundreds. On one day alone, nearly 1,000 visitors came to peep through his cell bars.

Many of these visitors had read of Logan’s preference for cigars, and, as a result, he received an inexhaustible supply of them. Of all his visitors, Tennessee State Governor Benton McMillin was the most illustrious, spending the better part of a quarter hour cordially conversing with Long.

Though the captivating tale is enough to keep the crowd on the edge of their seats, it’s the addition of the cast’s musical talents that set this play apart. Apart from Williams and his Drifting Cowboys, there’s another musically inclined character who both adds a bit of depth and history to Williams’ story.

Black street musician, TeeTot, added soul to Williams’ musical beginnings in Georgiana as illustrated early on in the play. But it’s Tee-Tot’s continuous presence throughout the story that adds a historical element to Williams’ biography. Tee-Tot may have influenced a deep, soulful, gospel-esque sound to Williams’ music, but it was the combination of soul, Williams’ hillbilly twang and his often heartachefilled lyrics that made him a success.

The tragic death of Williams shook the world, but it was his unmatched talent and amazing songwriting that changed country music and keeps his legacy alive even today.

Although clearly enjoying his celebrity status, Long eventually decided it was time for a new scene. At approximately 4:15 p.m. on Saturday, June 27, 1903, he made his escape.

Lassoing his guard through the cell door, Long helped himself to a pistol and horse before riding off into the streets of Knoxville for a “departure almost as spectacular as his arrival,” wrote Lynch.

Although many onlookers out enjoying their Saturday afternoon suspected the identity of the frantic rider, no move was made to stop him. Rather, the people of Knoxville watched in amazement as their favorite outlaw furiously galloped across the Gay Street bridge to freedom.

“He was never positively identified again,” Neely said. “Many historians are of the opinion he was the outlaw who committed suicide during a shootout in Parachute, Colorado, in 1904. Others think he might have escaped to South America, perhaps even to rejoin Butch and Sundance.”

Whatever his end, Hutton believes Long’s life story stands as a symbol of life outside the bounds of law and convention.

“I think it has special resonance, at least to the Woodstock generation,” he said. “The idea of living an unfettered life like that, outside the cubicle, outside the two-piece suit, outside of wage labor.”

“Sixty years after his death we still hear his music and want to cry or dance or both,” Kessler said. “And that will be true 60 years from now and 60 years from that date and on and on.

“Thank you Hank Williams, for the gift you shared with us.”

Hank Williams may have died more than 60 years ago, but here in Knoxville, the country legend lives on.

FRONT ROW REVIEW

Female punk show brings intimacy to Old City Tanner Hancock Copy Editor (@Tannerhancock26)

Sunday night in Old City, the empty streets of Knoxville portray an eerie absence of life; inside the Pilot Light nightclub, however, the spirit of punk is alive and well.

Last weekend, the Pilot Light venue showcased several upand-coming female punk rock bands currently touring across the east coast.

Occupying a slender spot on Jackson Avenue, the small bar and stage offered little in the way of space, but compensated with abundant friendliness and intimacy from staff and attendees.

Headface, a Knoxville solo artist, kicked off the show with several heartfelt, wellwritten songs crooned directly to the eager crowd. While she lacked precision on the guitar, Headface nevertheless delivered a solid opening act to what would become an exhilarating night of fast-paced punk energy.

Following a brief performance by Knoxville band Butt Dial, the self-described “queercore” and “non-college rock” Brooklyn natives Aye Nako took to the stage armed with abundant attitude and enthusiasm. With a fierce and uncompromising persona that persisted throughout, the rockers created a sincere atmosphere that proved almost impossible to dislike. Despite the small size of the crowd, the female musicians delivered chord after heavy chord of precision-perfect punk rock fit for venues twice the size as the one they were currently playing. With little deviation from the rehearsed sound of their album “Unleash Yourself,” Aye Nako offered a persistent stream of head-banging goodness to please every single crowd member eager for a taste of true rock n’ roll.

When headliner and Massachusetts native band Potty Mouth finally took to the stage, the crowd had all but dwindled to little more than 10 fans. Consisting of loyal concertgoers as well as the preceding band Aye Nako, the

spectators nevertheless found no lack of enjoyment in Potty Mouth’s relentless and fast paced delivery of poppy, punk rock anthems. Singing through a mask of blonde hair, lead guitarist and singer Abby Weems offered no shortage of energy as she plowed through each powerful song of heartfelt, adrenaline pumping music.

While it’s certainly disappointing to see such a powerful show rewarded with such a measly sized crowd, the allfemale night of music offered the Knoxville concert goer a brief, yet altogether sincere look at what the true meaning of punk is all about. In the absence of a large crowd, fans were given the rare opportunity to not only view the energetic show within arm’s reach, but to meet and converse with the very icons admired onstage moments before.

At the end of the night, the experience of the concert, though not necessarily the rowdiest, was certainly the most intimate of any concert I have ever experienced.

Building relationships: a community service on Sevier Avenue Gettin’ Scruffy by

R.J. Vogt It was a former carburetor shop.

If you cross the Gay Street Bridge, you’ll see it, as glamorous as you’d expect a former carburetor shop to be. Colorless beige walls complement cracking sidewalks and a chain link fence across the street. The sign above the garbage can on the corner advises: “Keep Knoxville Scruffy, not Trashy.”

At 802 Sevier Ave., they don’t build carburetors anymore.

They build relationships.

That’s how Jenny Arthur explains it to me in the small office she operates inside. Alongside her partner Bob Riehl, the Unitarian minister/Tai Chi instructor, the pair runs a T-shirt company known as Borderland Tees.

Look around campus one day – chances are you’ll see their work on the backs of your classmates. Sex Week, the UT chapter of NIMBioS, College Scholars and many other organizations have contracted Borderland to print their shirts.

Jenny says their small outfit offers more affordable quotes than most competitors by at least 30 percent. Business, she says, is good.

Last October, the Daily Beacon reported on Borderland Tees and called it a “for-profit social enterprise.” According to the story, the two owners use the T-shirt business to fund their community services.

When I read the story last fall, I wondered what kind of community services Borderland provided. This year, delving deeper into Knoxville’s homeless community for my senior thesis has made me even more curious. Most places have a mission statement or a quantified program for their community outreach; Borderland seems to take a different approach.

So I drive across the Gay Street Bridge. I meet with Jenny Arthur in a small office filled with T-shirts and boxes. I ask her what the Borderland Tees mission statement is.

Confused, she smiles at me. “We just stick to a very simple concept,” Jenny says. “We create relationships.”

Is there a quota of people you serve? Do you target a specific population, such as former felons or the mentally ill?

How, and who, do you help?

Shaking her head, she smiles again, eyes crinkling at the corners. “We call it a place of no last chance. Anybody’s welcome.”

I still do not understand, so she begins to share examples.

There was re-Bob (the prefix differentiates him from the other Bob), a former convict who builds custom birdhouses next door. Bob and Jenny helped him find housing; they also helped him acquire financial assistance from the federal government. Another guy – Jenny, respectfully, did not share his name – who suffered from cerebral palsy now has housing thanks to their intervention. In their own basement, they’ve offered a friend who battled alcoholism a place to stay.

The two men who work the T-shirt press, Jenny says, have their own stories to tell. So too does Rob Roy, the owner of Borderland Bike Billboards, a business he started with their help. These are her friends, and their privacy she respects.

Throughout the course of our conversation, however, Jenny shares her own life story freely. A journey that has led Jenny from Gatlinburg, Tennessee to Massachusetts and now, to Borderland. She has a master’s degree in poetry, and she’s nearly ashamed (“It sounds so pretentious!”) to admit she graduated from Yale Divinity School. A minister at the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church, she also teaches Tai Chi at the Taoist Tai Chi Society on North Central.

In my notes, I write: does this woman ever sleep?

At the end of our chat, she offers to give me a tour of the facility. In a back room, I find a copy of Max Ehrmann’s “Desiderata.” It’s printed on a piece of wood and packed in a box with other odds and ends, set aside to be sold in an upcoming rummage sale. Bob and Jenny plan to use the proceeds to convert the space into a community room, a place where their friends can gather peacefully.

One of the lines in the poem catches my eye: “Be yourself.

Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass.”

I pay cash, on the spot, for the wood; and as Jenny accepts it, she offers to help me with my senior thesis. It occurs to me that I’ve entered a relationship with someone who creates relationships for a living. I think back to a phrase she said earlier, something about “capitalism for the common good.”

And on the way out the door, I notice something I missed on the way in.

There’s grass growing in the cracked sidewalks.

Breakups in college: the guide to recovery School of Sarcasm by

Recovering from a breakup is never easy, but by the end of this column, you will hopefully have turned Carrie Underwood’s “Before He Cheats” off repeat.

The first step of any breakup is to convince yourself that your previous significant other sucks, ignoring the fact that you “loved” him or her a week ago. From the obnoxious way they chewed food to the pitch of their voice, everything about them is immediately irritating.

Next, try partaking in some activities that you haven’t tried before. “Oh, hike to the top of Mount LeConte? I am completely motivated now. That play in the Tennessee Theatre? Suddenly, I am a theatre enthusiast.”

essentially saying, “Just hold me for an hour, and then leave.”

Stop cyber-stalking your ex. When it comes to breakups, our generation has it harder than any previous population. It only takes a click of a computer mouse or a tap on an iPhone to see your ex and your replacement, plastered right on your newsfeed. Unfollow him or her from Twitter and Instagram, and block them from Facebook. Moving on is much easier without having to be reminded of your ex daily.

Not all relationships end badly, and you may find yourself wanting to remain friends with the other person. A couple remaining friends after a split is possible; however, there should be some recovery time in-between the breakup and aftermath leading into the friendship. If you are still talking to the person every day and going through your typical routine with them, you find yourself living under the false pretense that you are still dating this person.

Any way you view it, breakups are rough.

There is a reason why so many songs are dedicated to heartbreak. The good news is the world is, in fact, not ending; and the new WalMart has enough Moose Tracks for everyone.

Who to cut, add after first week of NFL Fantasy Football Corner by

Austin Pirkle The first full weekend of NFL action is over.

I hope you enjoyed it, but more importantly, I hope your fantasy team dominated your opponent’s. Now that the season is underway, this will be the format of my weekly columns.

I will give my opinion on who should be snagged from the waiver wire and which players should be on the trading block.

One thing before we get started -- while reading my article, be sure to take it with a grain of salt. Every piece of advice and insight should not technically be applied to your fantasy team. Every situation is different, and the key to success is to take the right advice at the right time. For example, if I have a running back on the waiver wire pick-up list that isn’t as good as the ones currently on your roster, don’t feel as if you have to drop a productive player just to add my suggestion. With that being said, let’s get this show on the road.

Waiver Wire Adds Markus Wheaton (Owned in 20 percent of NFL.com leagues) Wheaton is a player I have always liked and is currently drafted on my own fantasy team.

Wheaton is the clear second wide receiver on

the Steelers who can be an explosive offensive player. He had six catches for 97 yards Sunday, showing there are lots of opportunities for him to succeed. A great add if you are struggling with wide receiver depth.

Carlos Hyde (Owned in 57 percent of NFL. com leagues) The second coming of Frank Gore is here.

Hyde looked very impressive in his debut with the 49ers on Sunday with 50 rushing yards on seven carries and a touchdown. San Francisco is great at running the ball and will want to keep the aging Frank Gore fresh for a postseason run. Hyde will press for more carries as the season goes on and is off to a great start.

He is a good option for a bye-week running back with a good amount of upside.

Brian Quick (Owned in 0.01 percent of NFL.com leagues) Wait. Who? Brian Quick had seven catches for 99 yards in week one even though the Rams were blasted by the Vikings. I think this may be the start of a productive season for Quick. He looked to have good chemistry with new Rams QB Austin Davis, the only bright spot in the game. Quick could rack up a bunch of junk time points, as the Rams will be down and throwing the ball in most games this year.

He is definitely a player to watch out for in the next few weeks.

Sell High Brandin Cooks Wow, what a debut for the rookie from Oregon State. He had everyone talking about the new Saints WR, with 7 for 77 yards and

a TD, along with 19 rushing yards. So why trade him? Sean Payton is a proud guy and wanted to show off his new toy to the league.

He made a game plan to get it specifically in the hands of Cooks. After this game, the rest of the league will adjust to focus more on stopping Cooks in the weeks to come. There is a surplus of weapons in New Orleans who will need to be fed the ball as well. Think about trading him while his value is highest.

Darren Sproles The former Saints RB had an electric day with his new team. Seventy-one rushing yards and a TD, while tacking on four receptions for 14 yards. However, I believe in selling him now because it was a slight fluke. Chip Kelly also wanted to showcase his new weapon to the league. The fact is, McCoy will get the majority of the work, and someone will be willing to give up a good asset to get Sproles.

Capitalize on this opportunity.

Buy Low Jamaal Charles I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a little worried about what happened to the Chiefs over the weekend. The offensive line looked pitiful, and there was no room for Charles to run free at all. I still believe it was more of a fluke than a trend. It isn’t likely a Charles owner is ready to give up on him, but it’s worth a shot to see where his or her head is at.

EDITORIAL

Take this time to better yourself. Perhaps start exercising more, or regain interests in hobbies that you stopped during the relationship.

No, I’m just kidding. Buy a giant tub of Moose Tracks every day for two weeks until you walk into Weigels one day, and the gas station cashier Linda notifies you that the Moose Tracks have completely sold out. I just came in to buy gas today, LINDA. Throw out the stuff that reminds you of them. The cheesy love letters, pictures and stuffed bears. You may, however, want to keep the useful items such as the shoes they bought you, or the jewelry, since in time it will lose its sentimental value.

In times like this, it is best to have friends to lean on (you know, the ones you neglected during your love-trance). Friendships in college withstand relationships. Your friends will forgive you for the nights you stayed in with your significant other instead of going to that party with them. You will realize through them that being single is more fun than you previously thought. Your friends will reiterate that so-and-so does indeed suck, and they will typically advise you to download the Tinder app.

Rebounding works for some people, but it’s like a 3 a.m. order of Insomnia Cookies.

It’s amazing for a few minutes, but then you feel sick afterwards. Also, it’s not exactly fair to the person you are rebounding with if you don’t intend to pursue them further. You’re

Nashville’s Live on the Green provides musical variety 1.

Jenna Butz

Arts & Culture Editor (@butzjenna)

For Music City, live music on a weekend night is hardly anything out of the ordinary.

Walk by any honky tonk along Nashville’s Broadway Street and a range of musical genres catch the ears of anyone walking by; however, this past weekend, these varying genres united to provide the city and its visitors with its largest free musical event.

Nashville’s independent radio station, Lightning 100, gathered some of the most popular local and international music acts to perform in Public Square Park to end its free Live on the Green series this past weekend.

The final shows kicked off Thursday night with Nashville’s own singer-songwriter duo, Johnnyswim. The husband and wife pair belted out their bluesinfluenced pop as the audience filled in the square followed by Delta Spirit’s driving indie rock. The crowd wasn’t fully formed and ready, though, until Cage the Elephant took the stage.

The Bowling Green, Kentucky natives were the third most scheduled band at the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival, and Nashville was more than ecstatic to have the rock band back in Middle Tennessee. Lead vocalist Matthew Shultz led the energetic crowd by dancing and jumping around the stage and finally leading a sing-a-long to Cage the Elephant’s hit, “Come a Little Closer.�

Friday night started with another Nashville band, Daniel Ellsworth & the Great Lakes and its electronic pop rock. Next came indie, emo rock band Augustana before G. Love & Special Sauce took the stage with their R&B tinged blues.

While the audience was receptive to these bands, it was the city’s country and Southern rock, The Wild Feathers that brought the crowd together.

Sara Bogach, a Nashville hairdresser, has seen The Wild Feathers four times so far and never plans on missing a show she can make. Loving that “Nashville is their home,� she “can’t get enough of their music.� “I love how they are from Nashville, and they always bring a great energy to the crowd,� Bogach said. “My favorite part (is) when they really start jamming and getting into their music. I also love

when Taylor (Burns) sings. His voice is amazing.�

Saturday began early with this year’s Regions Music City Mayhem champions, Phin waking the audience up with their indie garage rock. Then, folk band Sugar & the Hi-lows slowed it down before their friend Ingrid Michaelson took the stage.

While lately Michaelson’s music has leaned more towards rock, she showcased her indie pop roots with help from Nashville acts Mat Kearney and Katie Herzig. Michaelson drew her dedicated fans to the square, and many of them left after her performance.

Next, pop folk powerhouse LP took the stage. A rising star in Nashville, LP looked shocked at how many attendees knew her lesser known songs, but it propelled her into a spirited and engaging performance. For Los Angeles resident Saul Simon MacWilliams, she was the best performer of the night. “LP is definitely, like kinda awesome — like really awesome,� MacWilliams said. “My favorite.�

Country trio the Lone Bellow performed next with an audience full of enthusiastic fans singing every word of every song. The band saw droves of people pushing their way to the front to catch a glimpse of the trio’s chemistry. As their set closed, lead vocalist Zach Williams told the audience, “Listen, Nashville. Never end a show with a new song. It’s a bad idea,� as he introduced their final song — one they had never played before.

They left the stage followed by deafening applause and cheers.

The night, and the festival as a whole, ended with British rocker, Jake Bugg.

Girls of all ages swooned as he walked on stage with his punk angst demeanor.

Bugg switched between his electric hits and acoustic ballads, and the crowd found themselves entranced. As his show progressed though, the family-friendly event turned rowdy with crowd surfers and even a man in a banana suit hanging from the wires holding the stage upright, causing the roof over Bugg’s head to sway.

After Bugg ended with his hit, “Lightning Bolt,� the crowd immediately dispersed, minus a few stragglers still conversing.

In the end, Bogach found the weekend music festival provided free entertainment in her town as well as a chance to discover new sounds. “Anyone can come and leave with a new favorite band.�

Headlined by Sugar Bowl outing, ‘smart’ Knight has Vols’ attention Dargan Southard

Assistant Sports Editor (@ dsouth16)

One Tennessee player took extensive notes. Another became ‘thrilled’ with the opportunity ‘to play the best’ in the near future.

But no matter which approach members of the current Volunteer squad took as they tuned in Jan. 2 to watch Oklahoma’s riveting Sugar Bowl win, one thing remained prevalent: Sooners’ quarterback Trevor Knight.

And for good reason. On the shoulders of a 31-point first half, the San Antonio native torched Alabama’s defense for 348 passing yards and four touchdowns en route to Oklahoma’s 45-31 victory in New Orleans.

“When I look at film of him, I see he’s a good game manager,” said defensive end Corey Vereen, who’ll be one of many in charge of containing the agile Knight this Saturday. “He’s very mobile — smart with his throws. He’s got an arm too. He’s a really good quarterback, and I just see a lot of good decisions being made out there.”

So far, Knight’s riveting Sugar Bowl performance has done nothing but spill over into 2014.

Through two games this season, he’s accounted for 604 total yards and four touchdowns — three passing and one rushing — in blowout victories over Louisiana Tech and Tulsa.

‘You cannot do that’: Starting cornerback Cameron Sutton said he wasn’t tired. First-team linebacker A.J. Johnson recently stated he was ‘ready for it.’

But even with the tandem’s nonchalant responses to contributing heavily on special teams, Jones was adamant in saying the duo — along with a handful of other defensive starters — must tone down the extensive workload.

“We need more individuals to step up, take an ownership with a role on this football team, and it starts again with special teams,” head coach Butch Jones said. “We

have too many players playing too many snaps right now.

“You look at Cam Sutton, he played almost 90 repetitions Saturday when you count in the special teams game. You cannot do that. Same thing with A.J. Johnson, Jalen Reeves-Maybin, Justin Coleman — these individuals are playing too many reps, and it is a long, long season.”

Despite Jones’s plea, his defensive playmakers have already left their mark on the special teams unit. Johnson’s was a forced a fumble on kickoff versus Utah State, and Sutton’s provided stability as a punt returner — albeit none of his opportunities have morphed into a legitimate gain just yet.

And while wide receiver Jacob Carter did step in Saturday for the Vols’ final punt return, both Jones and Sutton stressed the sophomore cornerback won’t be relinquishing that role, at least, heading into the Oklahoma matchup.

“I don’t expect anything different,” Sutton said. “I’m accustomed to playing 80 to 90 snaps per game, and like I said, I’m just willing to do anything to help the team out. If it goes as far as playing 90 or so snaps a game, then I’m going to do it.”

Owen-ing it up front: For a defensive line unit that Jones ideally wants ‘to be about 10 deep,’ some of the depth up front arrived with redshirt junior defensive

tackle Owen Williams, who racked up five tackles and a pair of sacks during UT victory over Arkansas State.

“That was very monumental for him,” Vereen said. “I kept telling him, ‘just keep pushing and keep grinding and your time will come.’ He takes up a lot of space for us, and we’re going to need that this game, the next game and throughout the season.”

A two-year starter at Butler Community College in El Dorado, Kansas, Williams arrived in January as one of UT’s 14 early enrollees.

But despite checking in as UT’s fourth-heaviest defensive lineman, the 288-pounder has turned heads with his brute strength and agility inside the weight room.

“The moment he stepped onto campus in the spring, I knew he was gonna be a special player,” Vereen said. “He is the strongest player on the team easily. He’s freakishly strong — a burst. He just has quickness, and he’s really agile as well. Especially in pass rush, I knew he was gonna be a player for us.

“He’s definitely got a lot better because at times, he would just line up and go. As opposed to now, I think he’s thinking a little bit more — thinking about the game and actually using his keys a little bit better.”

INJURIES continued from Page 1 The two members of Tennessee’s pass catching unit, though, are far from the only players dealing with injuries for the Vols.

UT’s running back depth has been plagued by the absence of freshmen Treyvon Paulk and Derrell Scott. Although Paulk has suited up for the Vols in each of their first two contests, Scott has been held out while donning a boot on his left foot.

“Treyvon Paulk right now is going through a redshirt process, he is not 100 percent healthy right now,” Jones said. “So we don’t anticipate him right

now unless we get into an emergency situation five, six, seven, eight weeks from now.

“Derrell Scott is an individual who was really pushing in training camp and he would be getting valuable carries right now, but he has had set back with a foot injury. He is coming along. He is progressing.

We anticipate him possibly being ready for the Georgia game.”

Jones later went on to say that Scott could be ready to return to action by the time Tennessee travels to Athens, Ga., to play the Georgia Bulldogs on Sept. 27.

The Georgia contest could also be the return of redshirt junior defensive lineman Trevarris Saulsberry, who hurt his left knee in the

Vols’ open practice Aug. 16.

Conference rivalry (?): SEC fans aren’t fond of Oklahoma head coach Bob Stoops and judging by previous comments, Stoops isn’t necessarily the biggest fan of the SEC as a whole.

With that said, the Vols are looking past the StoopsSEC rivalry as they head into their preparation for their game against the Sooners.

“When I think of Oklahoma, I think of one team,” sophomore cornerback Cam Sutton said.

“They are sound. They don’t make a lot of mistakes. They are explosive and they have a lot of skill. But we are not making this a conference thing, we just see them as a really good football team that we have to play.”

VOLLEYBALL

Lady Vols look to rebound from winless weekend against Evansville Taylor White Staff Writer

Following a disappointing weekend, the UT volleyball team is eager to bounce back as they travel to Indiana Tuesday night to take on the Evansville Purple Aces.

The Lady Vols (2-4) lost every set of every match this weekend at the Iowa State Challenge. Now, they are hopeful that a strong showing against the Purple Aces (2-5) will get their season back on track.

“We’re just using this as a lesson,” said sophomore Jamie Lea. “It’s a place we never want to go back to, so we’re just going to take it and run with it and fix our errors, and fix it from there.”

Head coach Rob Patrick has been forced to rely on many young players this season and that lack of experience has been evident in many of the Lady Vols’ recent losses.

Unforced errors were a primary problem for this team last weekend, something

Patrick attributed to the presence of many underclassmen on the floor.

“When you put stress on freshmen, that’s what happens,” Patrick said. “It’s just an experience thing. We put in some younger players, and gave them the opportunity to get out there and play, and they really did a wonderful job.”

Evansville, on the other hand, boasts a far more experienced roster, an advantage they will likely use Tuesday night.

“They have some foreign players on their team, and most of the time foreign players are a little bit more experienced than American players,” Patrick said. “They play a lot more matches. It’s going to be the story of this year, that we’re going to be playing a team that is more experienced than us.”

Despite losing their first five contests this season, the Purple Aces won their past two matches convincingly.

While their record might not stand out on paper, Tennessee knows better than to look past any of their opponents, espe-

cially when going on the road.

“We definitely don’t underestimate anyone,” freshman Iesha Bryant said. “We go in with the same mentality every game. We’re just going to go in, defend our side of the court, do what we need to do and play our sport.”

Finding a way to avoid costly errors will be critical to this team’s success. By focusing more on defense during practice, the team can eliminate unforced errors during a game.

Consistency is another area of concern this week, as the young Lady Vols’ roster has struggled to put together more than one solid set in a row on several occasions this year.

“I think we just need to take care of our side of the net.” Patrick said. “There were times when we played Iowa State, a top 25 team, and we were playing point for point with them.

“We can’t have those three point runs where we’re inconsistent. We have to just continue to work, consistency is really the X-factor in our matches.”
