More than 200 people packed the Halls Senior Center on Feb. 1 for the League’s Chili Chowdown supper. The event was a fundraiser for the League’s Halls history book project.

And that’s the whole point of taking students who have passed U.S. gov-ernment or American his-tory classes to Washington, D.C. for the presidential in-auguration, says Halls High social studies teacher Tim Reeves.
“A lot of times, it’s diffi -cult for students to visualize certain aspects of history,” Reeves says. “But when you go somewhere like Ford’s Theatre, or particularly to
of the World Trade Center towers when they were hit on 9/11.”
Reeves says U.S. Rep. John Duncan and Sen. Lamar Alexander helped make the trip extra special for the Halls group. One student was able to secure four tickets for the seated viewing area during the inauguration from Alex-ander’s offi ce. Duncan’s offi ce also secured 11 tick-ets located in the stand-ing viewing area, closer to the U.S. Capitol than the public viewing area, which is located roughly near the Smithsonian’s Air and Space Museum. The extra tickets were dispersed to a few lucky students by a ran-dom lottery.
Duncan also gave the students a tour of the Capi-tol building, including a rare visit to the fl oor of the House of Representatives. A group photo was taken with Duncan in front of the statue of Tennessee hero and former governor John Sevier.
“We think it’s important for the kids to see that in the United States nearly a million people show up to hear the president say a few words and to witness the peaceful transition (of ad-ministrations).
“And, for a student to go into the Smithsonian and touch a moon rock, that’s invaluable.”
‘Swamp Rat’ to headline Gibbs High baseball dinner
Former UT quarterback Dewey “Swamp Rat” War-ren will serve as the mas-ter of ceremonies for the Gibbs High School Baseball Boosters’ Diamond Din-ner on Saturday, Feb. 16, at Beaver Brook Country Club. Info/tickets: Kevin Davis, 599-2019.
Arlington National Cem-etery and see the sacrifi ces others have made for your freedom, it comes alive.”
Reeves was a senior at Halls High when a group attended Bill Clinton’s 1993 inauguration. The trip to Washington was resur-rected for George W. Bush’s 2005 inauguration and has been organized for each successive presidential in-auguration. Reeves says students can sign up for the trip until the day before the presidential election. That date isn’t a coincidence.
“Because we want this trip to be about going to see the president, not a particu-lar person or a president from a particular political party.”
Planning begins a year in advance, in part to get ap-proval from Knox County Schools and arrange plans with a travel agency, but also to set up payment plans for students who need them, because Reeves says, “the trip is expensive.”
This year, 33 students visited Washington, D.C., from Jan. 19-22, along with Reeves, social studies teacher Debbie Anderson and Halls High administra-
tors Mark Duff and Dana Hall, who served as chaper-ones.
“That’s also a good thing, because all of us are or were history teachers,” Reeves says. “So we tell stories. And the tour bus driver did an excellent job.”
In addition to attending President Barack Obama’s inaugural address, the stu-dents got to attend an in-augural ball put on by the travel company the school used. They also went to as many museums and monu-ments as possible.
A quick voice-vote survey of several of the students who made the trip revealed that their favorite stops in-cluded Arlington National Cemetery, the Holocaust Museum and the Newseum, an interactive museum of news and journalism that opened in its current incar-nation in April 2008.
“It is wonderful,” Reeves says, “and was very popu-lar among the students. This was the first time I had been there. It includes the largest portion of the Berlin Wall outside of Ger-many and the remains of a communication tower that was located on top of one

County historian publishes 8th book
By Libby MorganBonnie Peters has done
it again, for the eighth time. Her latest book, “Tales from the Hills and Hollows of East Tennessee,” has just arrived from the printer. It is a com-pilation of chosen articles from the past seven years of her columns in the Shopper-News.
“My motivation for this book was the many calls I get requesting reprints of columns, mostly from peo-ple who are descended from those mentioned in the his-torical pieces,” says Peters.
“Tales” contains a varied mix of legends, murders, a hanging, lots of history, cur-rent events and even some old-time recipes. A “whole-sale poisoning” by lemonade in 1902 fortunately didn’t kill anyone. Famous musicians from the late Chet Atkins to the young Sarah Morgan make appearances.
Did you know silkworms were grown in Union Coun-ty? And, in a certain phase of the silkworm life cycle, if a cat ate the worms (they loved them) that it killed them? Fascinating stuff, all in short pieces.
At a young 70-plus years of age, Bonnie Heiskell Peters has a lot going on. In addition to writing for this newspa-per, she is a board member of Preservation Union County, working with the East Ten-nessee Preservation Alliance. The group’s current focus is restoring the Oak Grove School in Sharps Chapel.
She is president of the Inskip Lions Club, which re-cently helped form the Union County Lions Club. She serves on the Records Com-mission for Knox and Union counties, helping both local governments comply with regulations to care for county records. This task is getting more and more diffi cult with the changing face of informa-tion media.
She explains, “We are con-cerned about the longevity of digital information. We know paper with pencil writing can last hundreds of years, and that paper with ballpoint writing is comparably short-lived.
“We do not know how long a CD or a DVD will be read-able, or even what device will read them decades from now. Courts are moving toward being completely paperless, so we will need that informa-tion stored in a secure meth-od, where it will be accessible forever.”
Bonnie, now retired, had a 25-year career at TVA in vari-ous positions of management and administration.
Her family, the Heiskells, immigrated to the region in the 1700s, and landed in what is now north Knox County to found Heiskell

Station. Her great grandfa-ther, George Heiskell, moved from Heiskell to Beard Val-ley, well before Union County was formed. Her 12 siblings, a his/hers and ours bunch, grew up there, and their off-spring are all over the coun-try. The eldest sibling was the late Roscoe Heiskell, born just after the turn of the cen-tury. Thirty-two years later, Bonnie was the last one born. She had nephews and nieces older than she.
Bonnie and her late hus-band, Sam Peters, have one daughter, Sheri Hensley, cur-rently on medical leave from her position as countywide guidance counselor in Union County.
Bonnie’s other books are “Early Heiskells and Hyskells in America,” “History of Pleasant Grove Method-ist Church,” “Union County Schoolday Memories,” and “History of Hansard Chapel Methodist Church.”
She co-authored with the late Winnie Palmer Mc-Donald, “Our Union County Families” and “Union County Faces of War.”
Husband Sam was co-au-thor for “Mark Monroe: An East Tennessee Pioneer.”
There are a few copies of each of these books avail-able from Bonnie’s dwindling stock.
The print run of “Tales” is limited, so get it while you can.

Can we aff ord both safety and
success?There’s been a lot of talk
about school security over the past couple of weeks. We’ve learned that a couple of Knox County Schools were determined, back in 2011, to have shoddy securi-ty, including electronic key-pad entry systems that were anchored to the wall but not connected to the door.
This is unacceptable, it was fi xed and the contractor is being sued.
I would fi nd this more disturbing if any of the three Knox County schools my children have attended had electronic keypad se-curity systems. But I’m not disturbed. Such security
Wendy Smith
Balancing the cost
would just slow me down when I’m dropping off my kid’s forgotten lunch.
The cold, hard reality is that an armed intruder isn’t likely to use a school’s front door. And in Knox County, a gun is much more likely to be brought into a school by a student, or even a teacher, than an intruder.
Don’t get me wrong. I’m not against secure schools. I’m just afraid that the is-sue of security is going to distract us from the pri-mary reason for schools,
Watch for spring bulb sale
One of the classic Maria Compere stories is that, after receiving a sternly-worded communication about a state road crew prematurely cut-ting down a million daffodils on Pellissippi Parkway, a gov-ernor of Tennessee (maybe Sundquist, maybe Bredesen – her wrath was non-parti-san) put down an order that there would be no mowing during daffodil season until Maria said it was OK.
Her name was Maria de la Luz Compere – Maria of the Light, translated literally – and, as has been said so many times recently, she was indeed a force of nature.
When she died last month at age 97, this tiny human dynamo was still making plans, still hatching ideas, and left behind hun-dreds of friends and thou-sands of admirers who wish they could do something to show how much she meant to them.
Well, there is.Buy some bulbs. Plant
some fl owers.Compere, who lived in
Knoxville for 57 years, was responsible for planting 2 million daffodils along Pellis-sippi Parkway and was the driving force behind Knox-ville Green’s annual spring bulb sale (she and husband Edgar founded Knoxville Green).
Plans for the sale were well underway before her death on Jan. 24, and her daughter Suzy and devoted friend Larry Silverstein are determined that it will go on.
“We’re going to continue her work, and we’ve got al-most 80,000 daffodil bulbs that need to get into the ground,” Silverstein said. “So we will defi nitely have a sale. We’re looking at loca-tions, and in the next week
Maria Compere’s work will go on
or two we will defi nitely have a sale. So stay tuned for an announcement.”
The Pellissippi daffodils were not the only Compere project, just the most visible.
Her obituary lists more: Knoxville Green’s donat-ing more than $100,000 worth of bulbs and trees annually to the community: helping create an outdoor classroom and landscaping for the Laura Cansler Boys and Girls Club; chairing a garden club group that pro-vided outdoor recreational facilities for the blind and disabled; working with the East Tennessee Community Design Center to develop the wheelchair-accessible Serendipity Trail at Ijams Nature Center; helping cre-ate a “healing garden” for cancer patients at the UT Medical Center Cancer In-stitute; and most recently, working with Knox County to develop a greenhouse and horticulture program for fe-male inmates at the deten-tion facility.
Some of her work was done through Ossoli Circle, of which she was a member.
Former city greenways co-ordinator Donna Young was another loyal friend. She and Silverstein took on a task this year when Maria was too ill to deliver lunch and snacks to the state prison inmates on the bulb-planting crew.
“She had done that all on her own,” Young said. “She would get them fried chick-en from Kroger, and it was the best food they got to eat.
“She was so thoughtful and kind and was always trying to do the right thing.
“To me, she always made the right choice, the for-
giving choice. Her family founded Monterey, and she was one of the most well-read, educated women I’ve ever known. If I had a prob-lem, that’s who I would go to. She taught me that when you want to make an ethical de-cision, you err on the side of the most vulnerable party.”
Born in Monterey, Mexi-co, in 1915, she won a schol-arship to study biochemistry at Louisiana State University despite knowing no English. A professor there took pity on her and asked Edgar Compere, a young teaching assistant who knew some Spanish, to help her out. As their daughter Suzy says, the rest was history:
“My father went to meet her and fell instantly in love. My father was in love with her until the last breath he drew. He loved us, but he adored her,” Suzy said.
Edgar Compere became a nuclear scientist, and moved the family to Oak Ridge in 1951. He died in 1996.
In 2008, Maria was in hospital off and on for seven months, in danger of losing
her legs. During that time, she raised $100,000 for the healing garden project, work-ing the phone in her room at Fort Sanders Medical Center.
“Three days before her leg was scheduled to be am-putated, she had meeting (previously set) with TDOT. I told her she was going to have to cancel it.
“She said, ‘No. You’ll just have to smuggle me out of the hospital. I have to do this, and you have to make it work. So I did. And she nev-er said a word to the TDOT people about being in the hospital.
“She had a wonderful, productive, memorable, ex-citing, sweet life.”
Her friend Margaret Full-er read the William Word-sworth poem “Daffodils” at her memorial service.
It ends with this verse:
For oft, when on my couch I lieIn vacant or in pensive mood,They fl ash upon that inward
eyeWhich is the bliss of solitude;And then my heart with plea-
sure fi lls,And dances with the daffodils.

Clinton vs. BidenState party
election foretells 2016 fi ght
Under the surface, the election of Roy Herron as chair of the Democratic State Executive Commit-tee was an early skirmish between the forces favoring Hillary Clinton for presi-dent in 2016 and forces favoring Vice President Joe Biden or someone closer to President Obama’s legacy. Some may deny this, but my sources tell me this rivalry was already at play as a second tier issue.
Clinton clobbered Obama here in the 2008 Democratic presidential primary, and Obama has never done well in Tennes-see in either a primary or general election. He has ignored the recommenda-tions of the state’s senior Democrat, Jim Cooper, for federal positions for those who had actually backed Obama over Clin-ton.
While local Democratic state committee member Bill Owen actively backed Herron over Mayor Rogero-endorsed Dave Garrison, Sylvia Woods, longtime organized labor and Democratic Party activ-ist who serves also on the State Executive Committee, actively backed Garrison. Herron won by a comfort-able margin.
In 2016, Tennessee is not likely to vote for the Demo-cratic nominee to succeed Obama, but the state will be relevant in choosing the Democratic nominee.
■ Superintendent Dr. Jim McIntyre’s failure to brief all school board members and the public in full on the security issues facing Knox schools has handed his opponents an effective issue. Security at schools is top in the minds of parents. Not keeping the people who hired you fully informed on issues which generate negative front-page headlines can be the making of early retirement plans.
McIntyre has had mostly positive reviews up to now. This is the fi rst time he has hit seriously troubled waters. He can survive it if he is totally open with the school board and public, acknowledges errors, takes responsibility, and clearly embarks on a new path of providing full information to all parties, but especially those who determine his tenure.
■ The death of Maria Compere was a loss to the community and espe-cially to those who oppose billboards and those who favor planting fl owers along
our interstates. Every local offi cial had some encounter over the years with Com-pere, who called frequently expressing her deeply-held views. She is irreplace-able. Knoxville looks better because of her efforts for fl owers and trees.
■ Possible candi-dates to lead the Knox County Democratic Party when state Rep. Gloria Johnson’s term ends in-clude Doug Veum, Linda Haney and John Bohstedt. Others may emerge be-tween now and the date of the convention.
■ Former state Sen. Bill Owen has been in Kenya several times the past year for Pete DeBusk and DeRoyal, seeking to sell hospital supplies to Kenyan hospitals which are now supplied in large part by the Chinese. Owen has been 5 times in 2012 and is currently in Kenya for his sixth trip.
■ Dennis Francis, a Democratic member of the local Election Commission, is leaving the commission in two months. State Rep. Gloria Johnson will make the recommendation for his replacement to the State Election Commission.
While Johnson declined to name her choice, specu-lation centers on former county commissioner Mark Harmon and attorney Tammy Kaousias as pos-sible replacements.
Greg Mackay’s new appointment with the city appears to remove him as an appointee. Both Harmon and Kaousias would be active members question-ing why meetings are held at 8 a.m. and seeking the re-opening of Belle Morris School as a polling place.
It is unclear whether all of the Republican members will be reappointed. No Re-publican woman has served on the Election Commis-sion in more than 20 years. Kaousias would be the fi rst Greek American to serve on the Election Commission.
Commissioners are eligible for county health insurance, which is worth more than the salary.
■ Mayor Tommy Battle is taking on TVA’s tree-cutting practices within the city limits of Huntsville, Ala. Seems to be identical issues to what happened here except the Huntsville mayor is publicly opposing TVA. More on this next week.
which is education.Superintendent Dr. Jim
McIntyre had positive things to say about the direction of Knox County Schools at last week’s State of the Schools address. TCAP scores were up two to fi ve percent at the end of last year, and our 2012 graduation rate was 90.3 percent – a rise of 3.7 percent.
But not all of the numbers were good. Only 49 percent of our high school students scored a 21 or higher on the ACT, and only 38 percent of our 8th graders scored pro-fi cient or advanced on math TCAPs.
McIntyre believes tech-nology can make a differ-ence in the classroom by al-lowing students to work and learn at their own pace.
PetSafe CEO and philan-thropist Randy Boyd, also at the State of the Schools forum, said if we fail to provide technology skills to
our children, we fail to give them what they need for col-lege and for jobs.
Equality suffers when only rich kids have access to technology, he said.
A battle between in-creased technology and en-hanced school security is looming for the upcoming school budget discussion.
McIntyre wants to equip 10 public schools with one-to-one technology, which means computers for each student as well as campus-wide Internet access. But he also wants armed secu-rity guards in all schools. It would take a miracle for the county to fund both.
As parents, we worry about the threat of school violence. But our fears must not dictate budget decisions that prevent us from pre-paring all kids for the very real world. Share your thoughts. Email Wendy Smith at [email protected].

In the early 1900s, George F. Barber’s ar-chitectural fi rm em-
ployed about 30 people working in drafting and 20 secretaries, occupying an entire fl oor of the French and Roberts building on North Gay Street.
It was Knoxville’s largest design fi rm and, quite pos-sibly, the largest architec-tural fi rm in the state. At its zenith the fi rm sold about 1,000 mail-order house plans a month, or an estimated 20,000 between 1888 and 1913.
But for his physician’s advice, the fi rm might have developed up north. Barber’s health gradually declined in the late 1880s, when he was living in northern Illinois. His physician felt that East Tennessee’s mountainous area, with its warmer cli-mate and mineral waters, would prove benefi cial for his stomach and liver prob-lems, so he moved to the South.
George Franklin Barber was born in DeKalb, Ill., on July 31, 1854, the son of Lyman and Cornelia Bar-nett Barber. Early in life he moved to rural Fort Scott, Kan., to a farm adjoining his older sister’s on which he raised plants, which he advertised for sale as “orna-mental nursery stock.”
His formal education was interrupted by the foment-
ing unrest in that state and then by the Civil War. As he matured, he spent a lot of time in the self-study of de-sign and construction books, which he ordered by mail. It is thought that George Pal-liser’s “American Cottage Homes” (1878) was his major infl uence, but he also stud-ied other technical books on those subjects.
In the mid-1880s, he re-turned to DeKalb, where he worked with his brother, Manley D. Barber, in Man-ley’s respected construction fi rm. There Barber pub-lished his fi rst book, “The Cottage Souvenir,” which was produced on card stock tied together with a piece of yarn. The fi rst edition fea-tured 14 house plans but a second edition was soon published with 18. His earli-est buildings were DeKalb’s Bradt House and the DeKalb Congregational Church.
When he moved to Knox-ville in 1888 at age 34, he fi rst partnered briefl y with Martin Parmalee. Barber served as the “art-ist” and Parmalee served as the “superintendent.” By 1890, Parmalee had set up his own offi ce, prob-ably because Barber’s more fl amboyant Victorian-era turrets, bay windows and gingerbread trim did not fi t with Parmalee’s more conservative tastes. The families remained friends

The Barber Residence at 1635 Washington Ave. (1890 to 1897).
This is the fi rst of three homes George Barber built for his family
on Washington Avenue. The turret, roof cresting and fancy
chimneys, as shown in his catalogue (The Cottage Souvenir
No. 2, Design No. 60), were typical of his ornate homes. Photos courtesy C.M. McClung Historical Collection
The mail-order kinglater adopted. One of the $6,000 kits was shipped to a wealthy Irish merchant, Jeremiah Nunan, who lived in Jacksonville, Ore. The 21-room prefab house and barn were shipped from Knoxville precut and par-tially assembled, lacking only the roof and founda-tion. It required 137 crates loaded on 14 boxcars. The house was sold in 1977 for $185,000 and more than a half million dollars were spent to restore it before it was opened to the public as an upscale restaurant.
The success of the com-pany can be measured by the wide geographic spread of Barber homes: 47 homes by one builder in Baltimore, for instance. Almost 50 are currently listed individually on the National Register of Historic Places. The compa-ny correspondence included letters from Japan, China, the Philippines, South Af-rica, Europe, Canada and almost every state in the Union. Dr. Michael Tomlan, a 1973 UT graduate who is now an architectural pres-ervationist at Cornell Uni-versity, is the leading au-thority on George Barber’s work. He has documented more than 650 George Bar-ber homes still standing na-tionwide.
George Franklin Bar-ber passed away on Feb. 17, 1915, and rests in the family burial plat in Green-wood Cemetery. His wife, the former Laura Cheney (1855-1925), died just nine days before him. They were survived by their three chil-dren: sons George F. Bar-ber Jr. and Charles I. and daughter Laura. Charles I. Barber’s distinguished ca-reer in architecture is the subject of a future article.

George F. Barber (1854-1915).
Due to his declining health,
George F. Barber moved to
Knoxville in 1888, where he
established his large architec-
tural fi rm.
George F. Barber (1854-1915)
and Barber’s nephew, David West Barber, later married Parmalee’s daughter, Carol.
In 1892, Barber part-nered with J.C. White, a descendant of Knoxville’s founder, who had been one of his early clients. He also joined others in the Edge-wood Land Co., which was developing the Park City suburb and designed more than a dozen houses for the project, including his own house at 1635 Washington Ave.
In 1890, Barber pub-lished “The Cottage Souve-nir No. 2” which contained 59 house plans, as well as plans for two barns, a church, a chapel, two store-fronts and several pavil-ions. His infl uence quickly expanded and his plans were soon used for homes in Jacksonville, Ore., Mount Dora, Fla., and Henderson, Ky. In Knoxville, he built the Romanesque-inspired Ziegler House and an im-pressive home for his print-er, S.B. Newman.
Between 1892 and 1907, he printed nine large mail-order catalogues and a se-
ries of samplers, most of them produced in Knox-ville by S.B. Newman & Co. In addition he printed an 86-page booklet “Apprecia-tion,” which featured tes-timonials of satisfi ed cus-tomers, their portraits, and the plans and photographs of their homes. They in-cluded members of the ris-ing middle class: a young attorney or physician, a railroad company treasur-er, the vice-president of a bank, a hardware company executive, etc.
About 1895, he parted with White and formed a new fi rm with Thomas Kluttz. The fi rst edition of his magazine, American Homes (A Journal Devoted to Planning, Building and Beautifying the Home) was published in January 1895. It advertised his house plans and furnished ad-vice on interior design and landscaping and included a multi-part history of archi-tecture.
There were competitors, but Barber’s magazine was more literary, containing articles on residential con-
struction, proper siting of a suburban home, informa-tion on major historic land-marks and accounts of visits to housing expositions. Bar-ber controlled the publica-tion until 1902, when the editorial offi ces were moved to New York City. He con-tinued to contribute articles periodically.
Barber’s most innovative contribution to the mail-or-der home industry was his method of assuring results. He designed a 44-question survey through which his prospective clients supplied their needs and wants. It included a “Handy Sketch Sheet” conveniently ruled off in 1/8” squares on which the client could supply a rough sketch of the fl oor plan desired. He encour-aged his clients to, “Write to us concerning any changes wanted in plans, and keep writing till you get what you want. Don’t be afraid of writing too often. We are not easily offended.”
At one point in his ca-reer, Barber developed a “house-in-a-kit” concept that Sears and Roebuck

Support Our Schools (SOS) recently par-ticipated in the annual Partners in Education conference with teach-ers, social workers and support staff.
In a one-hour break-out session entitled “How Can a Citizen’s Group Help Our Public Schools?” the group dis-cussed topics SOS plans to address this year, in-cluding vouchers, teach-er evaluations, guns in schools and the school budget process.
Gov. Bill Haslamestablished a task force on vouchers in March 2012 to hear from ex-perts, study approaches taken by other states, analyze the private and public school land-scapes, and interview stakeholders. The ad-ministration proposed Senate Bill (SB)196 under the title of “Ten-nessee Choice and Op-portunity Scholarships,” commonly referred to as vouchers.
Superintendent Dr. Jim McIntyre, Knox County Sheriff Jimmy “JJ” Jones and Knoxville Police Chief David Rausch will hold a forum on student safety and school security 6 p.m. Tuesday, March 5, at Amherst Elemen-tary School, 5101 Schaad Road.
SOS began in Novem-ber 2010 when fi ve local women committed to raise public awareness about public school mat-ters. SOS publishes an e-newsletter. Readership has grown to several hundred people with strong community inter-est in the education of young people. Info: [email protected].

I love candles – all kinds of candles.
I have big candles and little candles and elegant candles and pillar can-dles and tea light candles and birthday candles and homemade candles. I even have a tiny travel candle-holder, with a tea light in it, that stays packed in my
overnight bag. I may be the only non-
smoker in the world who al-ways has a box of matches in her purse.
I was grown before I dis-covered the magic, the mys-tery, the sensory pleasure of one solitary candle. There were always candles on birthday cakes at my house,
For thou wilt light my candle;The Lord, my God, will enlighten my darkness.
(Psalm 18: 28 KJV)
To double day and cut in half the dark …(“A Young Birch,” Robert Frost)
To double day
and candles on the dinner table at Christmas. But it was as an adult that I real-ized that candlelight is kind and soft and mysterious.
It was in church that I learned that candles are one of the ways in which we pray. The f lame reach-es toward heaven, much as our hearts yearn for the heart of God. The smoke rises like our prayers, and carries our hopes and
fears and confessions.Nowadays, I keep a burn-
ing candle on the table in my offi ce. Sometimes the candle is scented, some-times not. Sometimes it is small, sometimes large. But it is always there.
Because it is a constant, I am not always aware of its fragrance. When a col-league or one of our neigh-bors walks into my offi ce, however, they frequently comment on the scent.
And when someone asks me to keep them in my prayers, I usually respond, “The candle is burning and prayers ascend.”
It serves its true pur-pose, you see, as a remind-er. It reminds me that there is power beyond this earth,
power that I can tap into, but not control. I am care-ful with the fl ame, aware that even in its warmth and beauty and grace, it has the power to burn and destroy.
It reminds me of all the prayers around the world, of all the little altars ev-erywhere, of all the sup-plicants who cry out to God in agonizing despair, or in astonished joy.
It reminds me of my own sinfulness, and nudges me to repent. It offers me com-fort, solace, encouragement.
Most of all, it keeps me aware of the holy, of the Holy One, of the sanctity of each and every day, and of the words of the old song, “This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine.”
In my continuous search for good things to say about Tennessee football, I keep going back to old Vol-unteers. They do not disap-point.
Through the years, they keep caring about each other. They hang together like lodge brothers. In sad times, including those that end in heartbreak, they pick each other up as they once did on the field.
When it is party time, even with gimpy knees, they can roll back the rug and do the two-step like you wouldn’t believe.
Dozens of ol’ Vols and a few former coaches were at the celebration of Nick Showalter’s life a few months ago. They lined up in support of former line coach Ray Trail when his and Sandy’s daughter died.
Robbie Franklin rallied old teammates when full-back Stan Mitchell was ill
Search for something good
and led the delegation to Sparta at the end.
Forty-one years after Walter Chadwick’s tailback body was battered and bro-ken by a heavy money truck that crossed the yellow line and ran over his Volkswa-gen bug, several old Vols remain in his Wednesday lunch bunch. They do not miss a birthday or holidays or any other excuse to gath-er and retell tall tales. They are faithful friends. Steve Kiner has never let go.
You don’t hear about it but if Walter needs some-thing, former coach Bill Battle is often first to send a check.
Walter gives back inspi-ration. He lives at Regency House in the Atlanta area. Back in October, he noticed how beautiful the leaves were, especially the bright yellows and oranges.
His comment: “We serve a wonder-working God.”
Former fullback Rich-ard Pickens has more than a fair share of Lou Gehrig’s disease and short-term memory problems. Former teammate Jim McDonald manages his finances. Dick Williams has been a steady supporter. Dewey Warren is always good for some great yarns.
Charles Rosenfelder and Bill Young took Pick to Buddy’s Bar-b-q the other Sunday after church. Franklin, Mack Gentry, Bobby Gratz and Reg Jel-licorse were with him at Texas Roadhouse the day he knocked his plate off the table and made a steak-
and-baked-potato mess.Pickens said he sure was
glad it wasn’t his ice cream that went down.
Even the clean-up crew laughed and the restaurant was quick with another plate.
Bubba Wyche returned to Neyland Stadium last season for the fi rst time in a long time. He has health prob-lems (vertebra issues, blood disorder, breathing troubles and entirely too much pain). His left leg has not taken kindly to 11 knee operations.
Wyche, you may recall, was the third-string quar-terback who managed that delightful victory over Bear Bryant’s Alabama in Birmingham in 1967. Yes, that was the afternoon Albert Dorsey made all-American and Sports Il-lustrated responded with a big spread.
Wyche’s return to UT turned into a celebration. There was a surprise pre-
game ceremony in the Lau-ricella Center.
Years ago, a fan gave quarterback Bobby Scott a print of an Alexander Dumas painting that fea-tured Tennessee’s No. 18. It wasn’t Bobby. He wore 17.
“What’s more, I’m bet-ter looking than that,” quipped Scott.
It was Bubba in the spot-light but nobody told him.
Mike Price and Jerry Holloway had the artwork framed. They presented it to Wyche. Emotional remarks included what I thought was admiration of toughness, deep apprecia-tion for terrific times past and even brotherly love. Two or three people got something in their eyes.
I made myself a note so I wouldn’t forget: There really is something to this “Vol for life” stuff.Marvin West invites reader reaction. His address is [email protected].

By Cindy TaylorLocal churches have been
establishing multiple cam-puses across the county for a few years. Pastors Alan Bradford, Molly Aper and members prefer to think of Crossings as one church meeting in two locations.
Launched in 2007 in west Knox, Crossings mem-bers had a heart to go where other churches hadn’t at the time – downtown and old north Knoxville.
“We are a faith com-munity helping people fi nd their way back to God,” said Bradford, who pastors at the north location. “We gather here to scatter out.”
The church meets at 4 Market Square and at Christenberry Elementary School. Bradford and Aper help staff the Christenberry location where they say they have been welcomed with open arms.
“We always wanted to be downtown,” said Brad-

ford. “At the same time we were hoping to become part of a school. Now we can do both.”
The Crossings congrega-tion includes several teach-ers, so holding services at a school was ideal. Aper, who also coaches volley-ball, works mostly in the children’s ministry at the church.
“Partnering with a school
is benefi cial for us and the community,” she said. “Christenberry is in the heart of its neighborhood, and we wanted to come alongside the school to help any way we can.”
Church members are a part of the PTO at Chris-tenberry and also support the teachers and students with special meals and free book fairs. The church often
sponsors free events open to the community where hun-dreds show up for food, fun and games.
“When an event is over and people collect their chairs to walk home, it is so great to see the number of community members that have taken part,” said Brad-ford.
While there are no plans to plant additional church-es, the staff at Crossings does have a vision. That is simply to bring people back to God. Service is dismissed each week with the word shalom, a Hebrew word meaning peace. To those at Crossings it also means res-toration and living life the way God intended.
“Many people in their 20s were leaving the church,” said Aper. “We are seeing that age group expand in our church, and that helps us know we are where we belong.”
Crossings Church Sun-day worship gatherings are 9 a.m. and 10:30.a.m. at the Market Square location and 10 a.m. at Christenberry.
By Theresa EdwardsThe morning of Sun-
day, Feb. 3, started out with snow, causing several churches to cancel or post-pone services.
Powell Church of God planned to have the singers Jimmy and Jennifer Layne of Back Home perform a special concert at 11 a.m., but cancelled it due to the snow.
“When I came out of my driveway near West Town Mall, the whole street was covered with snow. The fl akes were the biggest I had ever seen, the size of a quar-ter,” pastor Jerry Cox said. “It was pouring down. The interstate was totally cov-ered with snow.
“I thought we would nev-er get up Sharp’s Hill. We
did, but the parking lot was totally covered with snow. So I called the singers, who said they were 25 miles out, and the interstate was all backed up. So we cancelled the concert and I postponed the church service for ev-eryone’s safety. We will schedule Back Home for a concert at a later date.”
Meanwhile, Grace Baptist Church altered its Sunday service plans as well. The church cancelled its early morning service. By the late morning service time, the snow had melted.
“We postponed the Dis-cover Grace class though,” said senior pastor Ron Stewart. They had the class the following Sunday on Feb. 10.

By 12:15 p.m., the tem-perature warmed up to 44 degrees in the Karns area, and the parking lots and streets were clear. If you slept in, you would not
believe it had snowed that morning.

Students at Corryton El-ementary School used their imaginations and came up with some interesting sub-jects during the school’s re-cent science fair.
Winner of the Student Choice award was Ryley Kirby for the experiment “What ratio of baking soda, vinegar and dish detergent creates the best explosion?” Second place winner was Emma Patterson with her answer to the question: “Do cut fl owers absorb warm or cold water faster?”
Selected by teachers as top displays were fi rst place winner Dylan Smith with “How clean is restaurant drinking water?” and second place winner Marisa Adams with “Moods: What’s yours? Do mood rings really work?”
Taking home gold med-als were Madleyn Adkins (“BFF or Bacteria Bandit?”), Ashley Boruff (“All of my TV shows are canceled”), Nella Atchley (“Which detergent removes oil from feathers best?”), Isaiah Fields (“Do changes in voltage effect the strength of an electromag-net?”), Lydia Adkins (“Five second rule or fi ve second drool?”) and Shelby Bill-ingsley (“Color vs. Taste—which egg tastes better?”)
Silver medal winners were Karleigh Williams (“How does gravity effect ob-

Corryton Elementary recently hosted its annual science fair.
A panel of judges had the diffi cult task of selecting gold and
silver medal winners. Teachers and students also selected
their favorite exhibits. Pictured are gold medal winners (front)
Shelby Billingsley, Nella Atchley, Ashley Boruff ; (back) Lydia
Adkins and Madelyn Adkins. Not pictured is Isaiah Fields.
Honored by teachers and

projects are Ryley Kirby (fi rst
place, student choice), Dylan
Smith (fi rst place, teacher
choice), Marisa Adams (sec-
ond place, teacher choice)
and Emma Patterson (second
place, student choice).
When Emily Brewster was growing up, her mom was a teacher. She witnessed fi rst hand the long hours her mother spent grading pa-pers and preparing lessons every day. So when it was time to attend college, Brew-ster “went as far away from teaching as possible.”

Corryton’s teacher of year
teacher), Brewster provides Snyder with insight from the teachers’ perspective on pro-fessional development and problem solving. She is also helping develop a plan for the school’s future.
“Her knowledge gives back to the future of in-structing. She’s phenom-enal.”
Brewster has also made a big investment in the school, according to Snyder, by hav-ing her child attend school at Corryton.
“She is fully invested in the school and its future because it affects her as a teacher and as a parent.”
When she isn’t provid-ing classroom instruction, Brewster helps children of other grades. She loves that the smaller school allows her to get to know most of the
children by name and chat with them on a regular basis, helping build relationships.
Her fi rst priority is edu-cating her students, but she feels she must also think about the next group of stu-dents that will enter her classroom. With her big, welcoming smile and friend-ly demeanor, she fi nds ways to make children feel loved.
“Sometimes that is just as important as a test score. Kids need to feel valued.”
“She is a worker bee,” said Snyder. “I am so proud that she was honored by her peers. I wish I could clone her.”
Brewster believes the honor should be shared with the other teachers.
“This isn’t just my honor,” she said. “It is ours.”

She earned a degree in business from Tennessee Tech and went into human resources.
“It was like teaching but with adults, so after my son was born I decided to re-turn to school and become a teacher.”
Brewster went through the post-baccalaureate pro-gram at South College and six years ago joined the fam-ily at Corryton Elementary.
This year, her peers chose her as their building level Teacher of the Year.
Principal Jamie Snyder said, “We held a reception to honor Emily last week and I could see in the eyes of the other teachers that they were genuinely happy for her.”
Brewster successfully ap-plied to be a lead teacher at the school.
“She is an important piece of what goes on at Corryton.”

Justin Cutshaw (“Will dairy liquids with more fat make more butter?”), Colby Brew-ster (“Fire Protection—does starch protect against burn-ing?”) and Tori Green (“sug-ar rocks”).

‘Y’all, don’t give up on us’By Betty Bean
Abby Standifer was a good student who found herself in a pickle.
“I was having problems at my other school,” Abby said. “I was being bullied a lot and was given the option of being home schooled or coming here. I didn’t want to choose home school because I knew I wouldn’t do the work. Here, I have teachers holding me accountable for stuff.”
“Here” is the Paul L. Kelley Vol-unteer Academy in Knoxville Center Mall. Abby attends classes from 8:30 a.m., Monday through Friday and is taking accounting, Algebra 1 and U.S. history. Technically a junior, she only needs two credits to be eligible to grad-uate.
“I’m working toward graduating in May, which means I’m going to gradu-ate a whole year early.”
After that, she plans to go to college, although she’s not quite sure where at this point. She believes she made the right choice when she decided to come to the academy.
“I would have found a way to stay on track in my old school, but here, I’m more able to focus on myself without being bothered by others. There’s no bullying here.”
Principal Kim Towe says Abby was an ideal candidate for the academy.
“This place gives them a way to do their own thing – focus on school, keep the distractions away, get away from the drama.”
Tamika Walters is a senior who has been at KVA since early October. She made the change because she had fall-en behind.
“She needed more credits than she could have earned in a year at her base school,” Towe said.
And how does she like her new school?
“It’s better than regular school. I was surprised, to be honest,” Tamika says. “When I fi rst heard about it, I thought it was going to be like an alter-native school, where you just sit at the computer. But it’s not.”
She is in school from 10:40 a.m. – 4 p.m. and is taking a full load: Business English, economics, general business, Bridge Math and English 4. Despite her schedule, she says she’s enjoy-ing it.
“I think it’s way more fun, going to school in the mall. If we go on break or lunch, some kids will go shopping, so it’s kinda fun.”
Tamika sometimes misses the so-cial aspect of her old school, but says she already knew some kids at KVA and hasn’t had any problem making new friends as well.
Is she glad she came?“Oh, gosh yes.”
Kim Towe is principal of the Paul L. Kelley Volunteer Academy at Knoxville Cen-ter Mall. Photo by Ruth White
Her goal is to graduate in May and go to Pellissippi State. She has a Ten-nessee Achieves Scholarship that will pay for two years at a commu-nity college. She believes that none of this would have been possible if she’d stayed where she was.
“I probably wouldn’t even have graduated, to be honest. I would rec-ommend this school over every other school, especially for kids who are be-hind. This is way better than dropping out and getting a GED or going to adult school.”
Jessica Kennedy is there every day from 8:30 – 11:45 taking chemistry, U.S. government and banking. That’s quite a change from her previous school, where she failed algebra three times and was told that her choices were to drop out or enroll in KVA.
“We’ve both been here since July 2011,” Towe said. “She came the same week I did. Jessica’s a wonderful young
lady who has worked so, so hard. And
she’s almost fi n-ished.”
“I want to be done next Wednes-
day,” Jessica said. “I’ll actually walk in May.”
That’s another unique feature of the academy, Towe said.
“Our students fi nish when they fi n-ish.”
Jessica has a special incentive for wanting to get done: she’s having a baby boy in April. She plans to name him Michael David and says she plans to go to college and learn to work with
special needs kids. She is confi dent that she made the
right choice.“My best friend was going to drop
out and I told her to come here. She did, and now she’s already graduated,” Jessica said, turning to Towe:
“Ya’ll don’t give up on us.”Do not call the academy an alterna-
tive school if you’re within earshot of Towe, who will politely set you straight:
“We are a nontraditional school, and we value the fact that we work with our students individually. And we val-ue the fact that they (students) are on a non-traditional learning plan.”
Towe grew up in the Karns com-munity and earned an undergradu-ate degree in special education at UT and a master’s in administration from Lincoln Memorial University. She has been with Knox County Schools for 17 years and is in her second year as prin-cipal of the Kelley Volunteer Academy, which opened in November 2010.
From 2008-11, Towe was assistant principal at Ridgedale Alternative School, and prior to that was an as-sistant principal at Halls High School for three years. She has also served as a special education mentor. She clearly loves where she is now.
“I have always had a passion to work with the underdogs – the students who are struggling, or need support and need that person who really cares. These kids need support everywhere, and I have that passion for nontradi-tional approaches to learning.”
The academy is the namesake of the late school board member Paul Kelley,
who died in December. In a bittersweet coincidence, Kelley’s memorial service was held the same night as the acad-emy’s graduation ceremony (there are three a year).
“We put up a video of Dr. Kelley’s life at the memorial service. We had a trib-ute to him prior to graduation.”
Towe believes that the school is a true refl ection of Kelley’s life’s work.
“It’s all about building relation-ships with these kids, so they know you care and they’ll work harder. We work to make them see the relevance (of education) to their lives. There are so many opportunities they won’t have if they don’t have a diploma – military, all kinds of training and higher educa-tion, better jobs.”
The academy is a place where high school juniors and seniors who are at risk of not graduating, or who sim-ply don’t fi t well in a traditional high school environment, can take core and elective courses in language arts, science, mathematics, social studies, and business electives including mar-keting, accounting, personal fi nance and fi nancial planning. The academy operates under a partnership between Knox County Schools and the Simon Youth Foundation, which supports 23 Education Resource Centers in com-munities where Simon Malls are lo-cated. The students come from Gibbs, Fulton, Halls, Powell and West high schools. The enrollment, which fl uctu-ates a bit, is around 200.
But Towe says they are OK with that.
“If you ask my staff, they wouldn’t trade it for anything. They like what they do.”
She says the typical student is 17-19 years old and works at his or her own pace.
“They sort of like the indepen-dence. They like being able to say ‘I’m in charge of this.’ In a traditional high school if you fail that class, you’re sunk. Here, you keep working through that subject. Here, zeros don’t exist. There’s no deadline. They turn in that assign-ment when they’re fi nished.
“And that’s a positive for these stu-dents. They don’t give up here because it’s up to them.”

By Theresa EdwardsThe kickoff for the Cove-
nant Kids Run at the Knox-ville Zoo on Feb. 2 became a “Kids Walk” with snowy weather and slippery paths. Also, parents were encour-aged to walk with their chil-dren.
“The goal of the program is to have kids do their fi rst mile here at the zoo and do 24 miles between now and the big event April 6 when they get to fi nish at the 50-yard line in Neyland Stadi-um,” said Beth LaFontaine, Community Health Coordi-nator for Covenant Health.
According to LaFontaine, the event brought more par-ticipants than expected. “With the weather prediction Friday, we still had several hundred children register yesterday. We planned for 750, and we had 794 pre-registered plus another hundred or so today. The turnout is great, so I hope they have fun.”
The event also featured special fun characters: a frog, a bunny and Shoney’s Bear who posed for photos. There were booths with gifts and games for the chil-dren to enjoy while waiting

A courtyard to the left of KARM’s overnight facility at 418 N. Broadway is under construction with completion expected by early summer.
“The vision for the ex-ternal courtyard is that
it will lift up the name of Jesus and provide a place for people to experience overwhelming biblical hospitality through its en-vironment, seating, land-scaping and more,” said
Burt Rosen, president and CEO of Knox Area Rescue Ministries.

By Shana Raley-LuskTwenty local restaurants
are accept-ing reserva-tions for the third annual K n o x v i l l e Restaurant Week, Feb. 24 to March 1, a unique c h a r i t able event ben-
efi ting Second Harvest Food Bank.
Each participating restau-rant will offer three-course meals at the fi xed price of $25 or $35 with fi ve dollars of each meal purchased benefi t-ing Second Harvest.
The concept is the creation of Knoxville’s Ruth’s Chris Steak House general man-ager Paul Hohe, who brought the idea to Knoxville when he relocated from Dallas.
“Knoxville has some re-ally good places to eat,” says
Hohe. “Restaurant Week is a fantastic way for the restau-rants to showcase what they have to offer and attract new guests, and it has the poten-tial to be a major event for the city and a huge tourist draw.
“And, of course, we’re raising money for Second Harvest Food Bank, a very worthwhile charity.”
The event has enjoyed much success in past years. “Many patrons have been excited to learn about local places to eat that may not have been on their radar be-fore this event,” says Elaine Streno, executive director of Second Harvest of East Ten-nessee. The list of partici-pating restaurants includes many local favorites such as The Orangery, Flemings and The Melting Pot.
The event has a positive impact on Knoxville in sev-eral ways. First, of course, it helps Second Harvest pro-

vide meals to needy East Ten-nesseans. Also, it increases traffi c to local restaurants at a typically slow period while boosting Knoxville’s local economy from residents and tourists alike.
“Restaurant Week ben-efi ts everyone involved,” says Streno. “This event feeds thousands of hungry East Tennesseans, while provid-ing an excellent dining ex-perience for patrons and driving sales and economic impact to the restaurants. That’s why this fundraiser is so much fun.”
Second Harvest has seen a 30 percent increase in food demand in the last two years in the 18-county area that it serves. Every $5 donation provides 15 meals for the hun-gry through Second Harvest.
Interested diners can visit the Knoxville Res-taurant Week website to browse menus and select their restaurant of choice. Call or email the restau-rant directly to place res-ervations. Info: w ww.knoxvillerestaurantweek.com.

Kroger airport rezoning delayed
North Knox residents packed the Powell Branch Library last Thursday for Commissioner R. Larry Smith’s “night out” event.
Two topics dominated the discussion.
Tommy and Teresa Mont-gomery provided informa-tion about the Kroger Com-pany’s efforts to install fi ll dirt along Beaver Creek on the site of the old Powell Airport.
Kroger is eyeing 18 acres for a new store on the 80-acre tract.
The Montgomerys, along with Dr. Bob Collier and others, spoke to Knoxville City Council Feb. 5, request-ing a delay.
“We need for people to know about this,” Teresa Montgomery said later.
“We live on Overton Lane, directly across Beaver Creek from (the proposed site). If (Kroger) fi lls in, the water will come over on us.”
The airport land, owned by the heirs of Norman and Ruth Mayes, is inside the city of Knoxville, although neighbors are outside the city, in Knox County.
The second issue re-volved around codes en-forcement (or lack of same).
Gayle Barker brought pictures taken the day be-fore of dozens of vendors set up in front of the aban-doned Ingle’s store on Clin-ton Highway.
Others brought copies of last week’s Shopper which pictured dirty lots.
Clifton explained that her territory is in Halls, but

promised to pass along the complaints to the correct inspector. We promised to follow through as well.
Property Assessor Phil Ballard was present, along with Smith. Jonathan Gris-wold represented Mayor Tim Burchett, and Cindy Pionke represented the En-gineering Department.

Neighborhoods to connect,
learn at community conference

er at last week’s meeting of the Council of West Knox County
Homeowners. Massey urged the 30+ member organizations of
the council to attend the city-sponsored 2013 Neighborhood
Conference on March 13 at the convention center.
By Anne HartRepresentatives of neigh-
borhoods through the city and county are invited to gather at the Knoxville Con-vention Center on Saturday, March 23, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. for the 2013 Neigh-borhood Conference, spon-sored by the city’s Offi ce of Neighborhoods.
“Connecting Neighbor-hoods, Building Commu-nity” will offer members and leaders of resident-led, resident-controlled neigh-borhood groups, including homeowner associations (HOAs), neighborhood as-sociations, condo asso-ciations, tenant groups and neighborhood watch groups an opportunity to choose from more than 30 work-shops on topics ranging from learning how zoning works to resolving disputes between neighbors to un-derstanding the rights and responsibilities of renters and landlords.
The workshops will be staffed by experts from city and county government and other local organizations, who will speak on topics ranging from neighborhood blight to neighborhood traf-fi c safety. Local law enforce-ment offi cials will discuss Neighborhood Watch, de-scribe existing gang activity and offer anti-crime tips.
Residents will also be able to get tips on starting
and building strong neigh-borhood organizations, in-cluding ways to recruit new members, and will be given communications tools that will enable neighbors to ef-fectively keep in touch with each other and be alerted to special events.
David Massey, director of the city’s Offi ce of Neigh-borhoods, told members of the Council of West Knox County Homeowners at their meeting last week that neighborhoods will receive the most benefi t from the conference if 10 or 11 rep-resentatives from each are able to attend. Because each session lasts an hour and 15 minutes and there are more than 30 sessions, that would allow each to attend three sessions.
There will be more than 20 information booths, and elected offi cials and depart-ment heads from both city and county government are expected to attend. Also expected are business own-ers, non-profi t executives and others with an interest in Knoxville’s residential neighborhoods.
There is no charge for admission or parking, and a free continental breakfast and box lunch will be served to each participant. To reg-ister: www.cityofknoxville.org/neighborhoods.

s l o w e s t months saw a faster pace than usual for the local real estate and lending m a r k e t s . J a n u a r y p r o d u c e d 601 proper-
ty transfers in Knox Coun-ty. While the total value of property sold during the month was almost identi-
cal to that of last January – around $85 million – there were 122 more property sales registered than a year ago.
In the mortgage lend-ing department, January’s numbers also outpaced those recorded last year. For the month, some $353 million was loaned against property in Knox County, compared to $241 million during January 2012.

programs have all worked to boost lending markets since the late summer of 2012.
The largest property transfer of the month was a residential tract on Topside Road which sold for $1.2 million.
One loan was particu-larly noteworthy. A Trust Deed fi nancing property off Cumberland Avenue near 19th Street came in for just over $51 million. Recording fees and taxes for the trans-action totaled more than $58,000.
January defi nitely set a positive tone for the real es-tate market in 2013.

By Ruth WhiteI have known Jimmie
Mathews since the late 1990s when her son Kent coached my son Joe in baseball. Spending every weekend on the baseball fi eld and travel-ing together, you get to know people pretty well. One thing I didn’t know about Mathews until a few years ago was her name. She was always “Ma-maw Mathews” to me. And she is like a mamaw to ev-eryone she meets.
Mathews is an energetic, young-at-heart person who spreads love and kind words wherever she goes. One of her favorite places to drop in is the kindergarten class-room at Brickey-McCloud Elementary where her granddaughter Kara Israel is a teacher.
She and her husband, Clay, began volunteering in Israel’s classroom eight years ago and after a few visits they “were hooked.” Clay enjoyed working one-on-one with students, and Jimmie quickly became
Kara Mathews Israel and her grandmother, Jimmie Mathews. Photos by Ruth White
Brickey-McCloud kindergarten student Palle Rosencrantz
reads for Jimmie Mathews during a reading circle.
Everyone’s mamaw
everyone’s mamaw. With her gentle spirit, Mathews patiently listens as students read to her, and she show-
ers them with positive rein-forcement and love.
“Mamaw will call me af-ter she visits my room and
talk about a child’s prog-ress. She gets to know the children and pays attention to their needs,” said Israel. “She treats all of them as her own grandchildren and they truly love her.” Mathews’ weekly visits to the class-room are valuable not only to Israel but to the children, too. “Some don’t have a ma-maw, and to see her each week is benefi cial. Her vis-its are consistent and they know that she really cares about them.”
Students from previous years love seeing Mathews in the halls or the cafete-ria and quickly run to get a hug or a sweet smile from
her. Memories of egg hunts, special grandparent lunches and stories fl ood back when they see Mamaw Mathews.
When Clay passed away, Kara received many notes from former students ex-pressing how much her grandparents meant to their own children. And these children are a more impor-tant part of Mathews’ life now. She volunteers at least once a week and stops by more often when special oc-casions arise.
If you have ever had the pleasure of meeting Jimmie Mathews, you know the love and care that she shows to everyone she meets.

NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER
Learn to manage your diabetesIf you’ve been diagnosed with
diabetes or pre-diabetes, you may be overwhelmed with information. Taking care of your diabetes does make a difference! You will not only feel better, but good blood sugar control can help delay and even prevent the risk of diabetes complications such as heart dis-ease, kidney failure, blindness and nerve damage.
Diabetes is a group of diseases characterized by high blood glu-cose levels that result from defects in the body’s ability to produce and/or use insulin. Diabetes affects 25.8 million Americans, or 8.3 per-cent of the population. Most people with diabetes, about 90 to 95 per-cent, have Type 2. Obesity and lack of physical exercise are two of the most common causes of Type 2 di-abetes, although not everyone with the disease is overweight.
At the Fort Sanders Diabetes Center, a team of certifi ed diabetes educators work with each client to develop a lifestyle plan. “We provide the patient with an individualized meal plan, food preferences and a weight goal,” explains Lucy Death-erage of the Fort Sanders Diabetes Center. “We give people the tools to manage their diabetes,” says Death-erage.
A series of classes that contain
Classes at the Fort Sanders Diabetes
Center focus on nutritional and
lifestyle changes that can allow you
to better control your diabetes.
Type 1 diabetes is a disorder in which the body does not produce insulin (a hormone that aids in moving sugar from the blood to the cells). People with Type 1 diabetes must take insulin injections to move sugar from the bloodstream. This type of diabetes is not preventable and is usually diagnosed before age 40.
Type 2 diabetes occurs when the body isn’t producing enough insulin or the insulin is not effi ciently moving sugar out of the blood-stream. This type of diabetes is associated with physical inactivity and obesity. Diet, exercise, weight loss and sometimes medications are the treatment for Type 2 diabetes. Approximately 85 percent of all diabetes patients have Type 2.
Gestational diabetes occurs in about 4 percent of pregnancies. It usually disappears after childbirth. Gestational diabetes can often be con-
trolled with dietary changes, but may require glucose-moderating medications or insulin. If untreated, gestational diabetes can harm both mother and baby.
Talk with your doctor to learn more about your dia-
betes type and what treatment is best for you.
Being active is a great way to help control diabe-tes. Exercise helps lower your blood sugar. Dur-ing physical activity, your body uses insulin much more effi ciently than it does at rest.
Exercise also helps you lose weight. Being over-weight makes it harder for your cells to use in-sulin and can lead to a condition called insulin resistance. Shedding ex-tra pounds can help you control your glucose lev-els and avoid other health problems, such as heart disease, osteoarthritis and hypertension.
What kind of activity is best for me?
Ask your physician what types of exercise are safe for you. Start at your own pace and be realistic. If you are inac-tive, begin with a brisk walk for fi ve to 10 minutes a day. Try to be more active in the things you do every day – take the stairs or get off the bus one stop earlier. Ide-ally, you should build up to 30 to 60 minutes of moderate activity most days of a week. Your activ-ity should include exercises that build strength and increase fl ex-
useful, practical information is of-fered monthly. Meal planning is demonstrated with food models, so patients can visualize appropri-ate portion sizes and practice read-ing actual food labels. “Counting carbohydrates is always the No. 1 priority with diabetes meal plan-
ning, but protein, fat and calories are important too. We’re striving for a good, healthy, overall diet,” says Deatherage.
Patients are taught to use a blood glucose meter to monitor sugar levels and what their results mean. Educators discuss how dia-
betes medications work, the bene-fi ts of regular physical activity and how stress affect the blood sugar. A family member or friend is also encouraged to attend the classes and individual appointments for support.
Because managing diabetes
requires lifestyle change, thestaff of Fort Sanders DiabetesCenter focuses on making realis-tic recommendations. “We don’tpush for perfection because it’s not “real.” We don’t want peopleto stop trying to improve theirlifestyle and food choices just because they’ve hit a bump inthe road,” says Deatherage. “Thestaff stresses that making smallchanges over time can still leadto big results.”
The Fort Sanders Diabetes Cen-ter is recognized by the AmericanDiabetes Association (ADA) forQuality Self-Management Educa-tion.
The Fort Sanders Diabetes Cen-ter is located off Kingston Pike inthe Fort Sanders West Medical complex. Satellite offi ces are alsolocated in Oak Ridge, Lenoir City, Sevierville and at the Fort Sanders Perinatal Center. Most insurance plans, including Medicare, providecoverage for diabetes education. Physician referral is required, but the staff at the Fort Sanders Diabe-tes Center can assist in the referralprocess.

Should I take any safety measures?
Before and after exercising, measure your blood glucose level. Doing so will help you track how exercise affects your blood glucose.
Your health care provider can help you identify what your blood sugar level should be before, during
and after exercise. If your blood sugar level is either too low or too high before you begin to exercise, it is best to wait until your level improves. It is also very important to monitor your blood glucose when you exercise in unusually hot or cold conditions, since temperature chang-es affect how your body absorbs insulin.
Hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar, usually oc-curs slowly, so when you exercise, it’s important to pay attention to how you are feeling. If you feel shaky, anxious, sweat more than usual or have a change in your heart-beat, you should stop ex-ercising and do what your health provider advises to treat low blood sugar.
It is a good idea to eat a small snack, such
as a piece of fruit, before exercis-ing. Also, drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration. If you notice any signs of low blood sugar, such as shakiness, during exercise, stop exercise and check your blood sugar level to make sure it has not fallen too low.
There is no limit to the activi-ties you can do. But to be safe, al-ways talk with your doctor before you start an exercise plan. Then take one giant step into action.
Our team of specialists at the Fort Sanders Diabetes Center can give YOU the tools to successfully manage your diabetes.
Learn how your nutrition, exercise, and medication choices can help you enjoy life, despite diabetes!

The Carriage HouseWhen I think of a barn,
I think rustic, but not necessarily elegant.
Well, I thought wrong. If a barn can be elegant, The Carriage House certainly is. Located in Loudon, this barn’s purpose is a bit different than most.
The barn was built in 1997 and was used as a gentlemen’s equine facility. Eight years ago, local physicians Kathleen and Meade Edmunds purchased the barn. They completely renovated the barn three years ago.
The Carriage House is part of Castleton Farms. It is now used as a facility for
weddings and corporate events.
Barn weddings have been growing in popularity in the last few years. With the right decorations and lighting, you can create a
perfect atmosphere. The idea of using drapes
for the barn entrance helps create a cozy and romantic feel. For some barn weddings, hay bales have been used as seats for the guests. Barrels can be made into table tops. Mason jars can be turned
into vases or candle holders for the reception tables. String lights hung from the rafters and chandeliers can add to the ambience.
Anyone wanting to share the age, history or story of their barn, con-tact me at [email protected].

Daisy needs a home!
The backstage elevator at the Tennessee Theatre has seen some unusual activity lately. Normally, it’s used to lift the nine-foot Steinway grand piano onto the stage for Knoxville Symphony performances.
This week, it’s a barn. Marley and Callie, two
horses from John Niceley’s Strong Stock Farm off of Rutledge Pike, have been cooling their heels there be-tween acts of Knoxville Op-era’s production of Giacomo Puccini’s “The Girl of the Golden West.”
And, yes, in answer to the question posed by this col-umn last week, there have been several “emissions,” both in the KOC rehearsal space on Depot Street and onstage at the Tennessee Theatre. But the Niceley family and their assistants, old hands at this kind of thing, are always ready with the broom and scoop. And honestly, aren’t there a lot of worse smells? There’s noth-ing wrong with a little ro-bust barnyard atmosphere.
During their fi rst time onstage, the horses were slightly put off by the cramped quarters and the loud cap-gun shots. Callie at one point decided she’d just rather not go on, and there seemed to be nothing that soprano Carter Scott could do to make her change her mind.
Marley, on the other hand, simply does not enjoy music.
“If you know him, you can tell he’s upset,” says John’s son, George Niceley. “You can tell if a person is aggravated by looking into his eyes, and it’s the same
with a horse. Marley is just not much of a music fan.”
Good thing John Niceley is there to keep things run-ning smoothly.
“He’s the ultimate horse whisperer,” says Knoxville Opera Company production manager Don Townsend. “I’ve done two ‘Aida’s and one ‘Pagliacci’ with him, and in my opinion he’s the best in the area.”
By the time you read this, the big show will be over, but we can safely assume that all went well with the performances.
In other horsy news, STAR (Shangri-La Thera-peutic Academy of Riding), located in Lenoir City, is looking for volunteers to help special needs children and adults with therapeu-tic riding lessons. Training for ages 13 and up will take place 9 a.m. – 1 p.m. Sat-urday, Feb. 23, and ages 10 - 12 will train from 5-7 p.m. Monday, Feb. 25. No horse experience is necessary. It’s a good chance for you and/or your child to enjoy the company of these beautiful animals and help out some folks at the same time. Info: Melissa, 988-4711, or visit www.rideatstar.org.
