NEIGHBORHOOD BUZZ

IN THIS ISSUEThe ‘Wright’ stuff

Jake Mabe sits down for a chat with longtime Knox County Schools educator Dr. Donna Wright, who has accepted a position with the Williamson (Tenn.) County Schools. Wright ignores her accomplishments and instead pays homage to the mentors who helped and inspired her during a 30-year career with the school system. That list includes a “who’s who” of leg-endary characters, including Earl Hoffmeister, Roy Mul-lins, Shirley Underwood and the late Sarah Simpson.

treated listeners to a concert in Fountain City Park last Tuesday evening.

“A great group of people, we all have a fun time together and they make it a fun experience,” said band director Sandy Wells.

This talented musical group is comprised of around 25 people, from high school students to senior adults. The Tennessee Valley En-semble provides free performances for nursing homes, senior centers or church events.

Jean Box, the oldest member of the band, plays the fl ute and piccolo for the band, but she also transformed her walking cane into a fl ute that can play three notes.

“There is something magic about the people who want to play together here,” Box said.

They practice on Tuesday eve-nings at Peace Lutheran Church and perform on scheduled days for an audience throughout the month.

Their next concert will be 9 a.m. Saturday, July 14, at the Oak Ridge Farmers Market.

Anyone is welcome to join. There are no tryouts or auditions to make the band. If you think you have what it takes, give it a try. Vis-it www.tnvalleyensemble.org for more info.

By Jake Mabe Call it a homecoming. When J.D. Overton was named

interim head football coach at Halls High School on June 12, he wasn’t stepping into unfamiliar territory.

Overton grew up here. He lives here. He attended Halls Middle School before going to Gibbs High.

“I’m very excited to be here,” Overton said last week. “It’s a great opportunity, something I’ve wanted to do since I started coaching. I’m looking forward to being back in Halls.”

Overton replaces Kevin Julian, who resigned last month.

After graduating from Gibbs in 2001, Overton played football at Emory and Henry, graduating in 2005. He accepted a coaching po-sition at Carter High and served as coach Heath Woods’ offensive coor-dinator for six seasons.

Overton says his offensive scheme at Carter evolved to fi t the strength of his players. It is a philos-ophy he will bring to Halls, adding he will use a variety of formations.

“We’re going to put our kids in the position to be successful. That’s our No. 1 goal. The offense we will run will be a little bit different than what (Halls) has run in the past. The offense needs to do what the kids can do.

“On defense, we’ll have the same philosophy. We’ll be evaluating the things the kids can do and go in that direction.”

Overton inherits a team that has more than 20 rising seniors.

“It’s their team and they will be very important in turning this thing

around. We’ve got a lot of good players coming back, especially up front.”

Overton’s coaching staff is evolv-ing, too. It has not been fi nalized, but Overton said that Zach Beasley, who has coached at William Blount, Bearden and Oak Ridge, will be the defensive coordinator.

“The guys who are here want to be here and are very dedicated and invested in our program. We’ll have a few new guys, but we have a good, core group of coaches.”

Overton says his football infl u-

ences include his high school coach, Randy Carroll (“He’s one reason why I do what I do.”), as well as his coaches at Emory and Henry, and Woods.

“I really enjoyed my time at Cart-er and I learned a lot. That was a great place to be.”

Overton and his wife, Jodie, a guidance counselor at Halls High, have a 19-month-old son, John Gardner.

He says that weight lifting and fall practice will begin July 9 after the TSSAA-required “dead period” ends.

Leadership Knoxville has broad impact

By Pam FanslerFirst Tennessee Bank was

proud to sponsor the gradua-tion of Lead-ership Knox-ville’s Class of 2012 last month. As a member of the class of 1994, I know well the impact the program has

had on the community.Since its beginning in

1985, more than 1,200 lead-ers from all segments of the

community have graduated from the 10-month program, which provides a compre-hensive learning experience through a combination of monthly sessions, experien-tial learning opportunities and team projects.

In addition to numerous business leaders, classes have included 150 educa-tors, nearly 50 physicians, more than 100 government offi cials, close to 50 religious leaders, 100 nonprofi t heads, 40 arts representatives and nearly 75 of the community’s most active volunteers.

The curriculum is based on eight “cornerstones” es-sential to 21st century lead-ers –practical skills which include the understanding

of interpersonal and group dynamics, ability to create a common vision and col-laborative approaches to decision making. Real com-munity issues are used to enhance participants’ un-derstanding of their com-munity as well as to rein-force the importance of 21st century leadership skills and processes and how they are needed to deal effective-ly with those issues.

Earlier this spring, the Mayors’ Leadership Lun-cheon, hosted by Knoxville Mayor Madeline Rogero and Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett, drew 750 community members to hear keynote speaker Gov. Bill Haslam. The governor noted that he and Rogero were both members of the Leadership Knoxville Class of 1992. At the luncheon, the 2012 Leadership Knox-ville Distinguished Alumni Award was presented to

head coach emeritus Pat Summitt, a member of the Class of 1988.

Leadership Knoxville’s reach extends beyond its graduates. It also sponsors communitywide workshops on topics of interest and provides specially-trained facilitators to assist com-munity groups in reaching their optimum performing level. Leadership Knoxville facilitators have worked with more than 400 entities, including nonprofi t boards, civic committees and com-missions, governmental bodies, religious groups and administrative staffs in the greater Knoxville area.This fall, Leadership Knox-ville will introduce the Class of 2013, whose members will continue to fulfi ll the LK goal of serving as “cata-lysts for positive change” in the greater Knoxville area.Pam Fansler is regional president of First

Connecting with people

Shannon Carey

“I fi nd all the people re-ally nice,” he said. “We were looking for a better place to raise a family.”

Sepulveda grew up in Long Island, N.Y. At age 15, he bought his fi rst car, a fi xer-upper that he tinkered with all summer. Then, he got a job pumping gas. That job became an auto-repair job at the same gas station. Along the way, he’s been a wheel alignment techni-

cian, a mechanic, managed a tire store, then opened a tire and auto repair shop in Florida.

Five years ago, the Sepul-vedas came to Tennessee. Scott ran an auto repair shop in Oak Ridge, then sold the

store and took six months off. He found a shop space available in Halls and opened there earlier this year.

All in all, Sepulveda enjoys owning his own business. He calls it “putting down roots” and says he never has a prob-lem building and keeping his customer base. He likes peo-ple, and he loves cars.

“I feel a sense of worth when I fi x somebody’s car,” he said.

For those getting started in their own businesses, Sepulveda recommends keeping an eye on the ex-pense line.

“Figure it out before you buy something,” he said. “That’s huge. You can buy, buy buy, and then you have to pay for it.”

HALLS/FOUNTAIN CITY SHOPPER-NEWS • JULY 2, 2012 • A-3

You might remember my August 2010 story. Lyons, a retired Army colonel, had self-published a book, “If These Stones Could Talk.” He was moved to write the book after visiting the Nor-mandy American Cemetery and Memorial in France. It contains more than 35 vignettes about World War II veterans, most of whom are buried in overseas cemeteries in eight foreign countries and Hawaii or are listed as Missing in Ac-tion or Buried at Sea.

Since our fi rst visit, Col. Lyons has made presenta-tions about the overseas cemeteries maintained by the American Battle Mon-uments Commissions to civic organizations, book clubs, libraries, two nation-al conventions and even onboard a riverboat cruise down the Rhine River in Germany. He also was in-terviewed by WBIR-TV news anchor John Becker for Becker’s “Service and

Sacrifi ce” series. Two Army museums agreed to stock his book and it is for sale on Amazon.com.

Remember I mentioned something about bumps in the road? Well, here’s the bad news: He sold 20 books to Joseph Beth Booksellers in Lexington two weeks be-fore it fi led for bankruptcy (before Lyons was paid). He had also sold books to Bor-ders bookstore, which also fi led for bankruptcy. Lyons has received a settlement from Joseph Beth, but the Borders situation is still tied up in litigation.

Here’s the good news: Col. Lyons has now sold enough books to cover the direct publication costs of editing, jacket design, photo enhancement and printing. Here’s more good news: You can buy it locally at Union Avenue Books.

During his research, Col. Lyons exchanged cor-respondence with more than 25 families. He re-

He made it to CMA Fan Fest in Nashville and has ap-peared on TV in Chicago and performed again at The Tin Roof Rocky Hill. “First Train to Caroline” has also received airplay on Q93 FM.

At noon Wednesday, July 4, he will be singing at the annual Rogersville Fourth of July celebration in Rogersville, Tenn.

mains in contact with most of them.

“The son of one of them has bought 39 copies of

the book for fam-ily mem-bers and b u s i n e s s associates,” he says. “He told (me) that he placed the book

in a place of honor next to his father’s framed Purple Heart.”

The 238-page hardback book contains more than 100 photos and a multi-colored dust jacket. Lyons says he insisted on having it printed in the United States, even though it required a higher cost than if it had been published overseas.

Lyons is available for presentations about over-seas cemeteries. Further info can be found at www.i f t hesestonescouldta lk .com or by calling Col. Jerry Lyons at 304-0552.

Over the next two weeks I am participating in an elec-tion monitoring team in one of the world’s newest nations, Timor-Leste. Our 10-mem-ber team is sponsored by the International Republican In-stitute (IRI) which is a coun-terpart to the National Dem-ocratic Institute and funded by the National Endowment for Democracy.

If you are wondering where Timor-Leste is or what happens there, go to www.discoverdili.com. The for-mer Portuguese colony is a new democracy, vibrant in its potential yet marked by po-litical and civil unrest since gaining formal independence 10 years ago. It is a member of the United Nations.

greatest triumph of Tyree’s time as mayor.

And he was nowhere to be seen.

“I’m right behind that post,” Tyree told a group of Karns Democratic Club members last week. “What happened was, President Reagan had some really partisan remarks to make – chastised former president Carter for wanting to save energy by lowering thermo-stats and wearing sweaters. No Democrat was introduced by President Reagan. The News Sentinel did an edito-rial about it. They were a little bit hacked, particularly after

Joe Bailey has had a front row seat in Repub-lican politics both locally and nationally for decades – a fact that hasn’t escaped the notice of Mitt Romney’s campaign leaders.

They have tapped Bailey to be the East Tennessee chair of the Romney cam-paign for the White House.

Some of Bailey’s consid-erable political skills may be genetic. His popular dad, the late Ed Bailey, was a legendary major league baseball player who went on to serve on City Coun-cil for 12 years and also worked as an aide to U.S. Rep. John J. Duncan Sr.

Joe Bailey has made his own way in politics, serving on City Council from 2003 to 2011 and working in na-tional campaigns. And yes, like his dad, he has a wealth of hilarious stories derived from those races and has accumulated countless friends along the way.

He has held leadership posts in the campaigns of Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush and Bob Dole, and has also done advance work for Dan Quayle, for members of Congress and for campaign surrogates. In addition, he has worked in management positions at four Republi-can National Conventions.

He also served in the Reagan and Bush adminis-trations on two occasions at the Department of Agricul-ture and the Department of Energy.

Bailey now heads his own company, Bailey and Associates, a consulting company which does busi-ness development and federal government rela-tions work, but this politi-cal campaign habitué can hardly contain his excite-

Joe Bailey heads ET Romney eff ort

ment when talking about Romney.

And it isn’t only Romney. What gets him equally ex-cited is the idea of involving young people in politics, some of them for the fi rst time.

“I want to try to bring young men and women into these national campaigns. It’s a great experience and they learn a lot and it brings in the next genera-tion. I like to go out there and actively recruit these young people to take over the leadership. I set up the framework and then let them do it. They learn the issues – nationally and in-ternationally. They interact with the media and with the public and do public speaking.”

Bailey says he “was lucky enough” early in his career to work with and become friends with the late, leg-endary Lee Atwater, who at that time was political director for Reagan’s presi-dential campaign and later chaired the Republican Na-tional Committee.

“Lee would gather all these young people in a room and educate them on what to do, like how to spot the press and how to talk to them. I remember he said, ‘Just look for the greasy-haired guy in Wal-labees with all the pens in his pocket and his glasses hanging half off.’ ”

My, my, how times have changed.

net Testerman Crossley gathered recently to endorse state Sen.

there’d been such bipartisan cooperation (during the run-up to the fair, which spanned three presidential admin-istrations – those of Ford, Carter and Reagan).”

Tyree was wearing a “Scruffy Little City” lapel button and said he will al-ways be grateful for the insult – delivered by a Wall Street Journal reporter – that gal-vanized the town.

“In the dog days of the planning, we had all these questions – ‘Are you really going to be able to get the money?’ ‘Are you REALLY going to be able to succeed?’

“Cas Walker said it wasn’t gonna work. There was a movement afoot to get a ref-erendum, and we knew what would happen if that went through. Then came that ar-ticle and it brought this com-munity together in a way we had not been able to before.”

He showed a slide of digni-taries donning commemora-tive T-shirts while Tyree was fumbling with his.

“What you see on the far right is the hand of (Coun-ty Executive) Dwight Kes-sel. He had stapled my T-

shirt together,” Tyree said.Another picture showed

Tyree and his wife, Mary Pat, having a friendly con-versation with the glamorous Imelda Marcos, here to pre-side over the opening of the Philippine Pavilion.

“The rumor was she had 3,000 pairs of shoes. Mary Pat and I asked her about that and she denied that she had 3,000 – she owned up to hav-ing 1,060.”

On the 30th anniversary of the event, he says the ben-efi ts of the bipartisan effort are plain to see:

“We cleared that hobo jungle (now the World’s Fair Park). We brought about the demise of Malfunction Junc-tion. We had one downtown hotel and wound up with four new ones. We got more than $300 million in interstate improvements that would normally have taken years. We rehabbed the Candy Fac-tory and on opening day, we had 97,000 people – 365,000 for opening week. The city re-tired its debt seven years ago and realized a (wonderful) return on its investment.”

The other half of Timor is part of Indonesia. It is north of Darwin, Australia, and east of Singapore.

IRI has been active in this fl edgling nation since 2000 (before statehood). It works with political parties on how to run message-driven cam-paigns and be accountable to their platforms while edu-cating voters on the electoral process. IRI’s counterpart, the NDI, does similar work but often in different nations.

I will be an accredited election observer, monitoring

and documenting the general atmosphere and voting pro-cedures at several polling stations as well as the open-ing and closing of election centers, scheduled for July 7. We will identify irregularities or logistical problems.

The U.S. Embassy in Dili (the capitol of Timor-Leste) fully supports our mission. Ambassador Judith Fergin will host us at her July Fourth celebration. Our delegation will be led by former U.S. Ambassador to Egypt and In-dia Frank G. Wisner.

It will be a fascinating trip to a distant part of the plan-et. It is not easy to get there. In fact, I fl y from Knoxville to Chicago, then nonstop to Tokyo, then direct to Singa-pore and then to Dili. After crossing the international date line, it is Day Three be-fore I arrive in Timor-Leste and it is 25 hours on four dif-ferent aircrafts.

MPC could have four new members, depending

on mayors Tim Burchett and Madeline Rogero. Terms of four expire this month: Art Clancy III and Ursula Bai-ley (city) and Mose Lobetti and Stan Johnson (county). Each can be replaced or re-appointed.

Speculation is build-ing on when Burchett will fi ll the county fi nance po-sition and who it will be. It has been vacant for several months.

Gloria Ray, former Tourism and Sports Corp head, has sold her home near the Holston Hills golf course and moved to the gulf coast of Florida. Mar-garet Cox, who shared the house with Ray, resigned from Sports Corp on June 22 and her position has been dissolved, according to interim KTSC head Kim Bumpas. Her duties were assigned to other person-nel and she did not receive a severance package.

Hey, sports fans. Let’s do a pop-quiz to see if you’ve been paying attention.

Commissioner Jeff Ownby said he’s meet-ing with commissioners one-on-one to discuss a possible sales tax in-crease. The commis-sioners should:

A. Take a chaperone.B. Ensure that none of the increase goes toward towing

fees for Comcast vehicles.C. Make sure the meeting is not at Sharp’s Ridge.D. Bring along a letter of resignation for Ownby to sign.

That’s his only honorable action after his recent arrest.

Summer pop-quiz A letter to the editor in Friday’s News Sentinel calls the “Halls Shopper” a part of the media elite. You know it’s true because:

A. Jake Mabe always writes about Elvis or Nixon.B. Carol Springer has a passport – and has used it.C. Sandra Clark listens to NPR weekly (“A Prairie Home

Companion”).D. Shannon Carey drinks iced chai latte (when she can

afford the 5 bucks).The News Sentinel published checks and infor-

mation that only Allison or Tim Burchett could have accessed, attributing them to an anonymous source. Who was it?

A. Tim, because things had slowed down after the bud-get vote and he needed more excitement.

B. Allison, because she thinks she’ll get a bigger divorce settlement if Tim is thrown out of offi ce.

C. R. Larry Smith, because he wanted to insert himself into this like he does everything else. (Pass the feathers.)

D. Jeff Ownby, because he wanted to change the subject.

It was a simple question: Is the Bud Fields scrapbook collection on display and is it available for research?

The University of Ten-nessee sports information department did not respond to the e-mail or phone mes-sage. No comment.

It could be the depart-ment is very busy. After all, this is July. Or maybe the question was too simple and mistaken for a tease.

It could be those who make major decisions don’t think the Shopper is worth the bother. Our circulation is just 93,880.

(Wow, that’s pretty good – and the website lights up like a pinball machine.)

There is another possi-

bility: sports information people are still looking for the big books.

I do hope they are not lost. They are treasures of historical signifi cance. There’s that magic word again, history. Tennessee has some, much of it at a higher level than whatever it is we have now.

The Bud Fields collec-tion, 11 books big enough to

Donna Wright heads westBy Jake Mabe

She has The “Wright” Stuff. And she will be missed.

Knox County Schools as-sistant superintendent for curriculum and instruc-tion Dr. Donna Wright has accepted a position with

W i l l i a m -son (Tenn.) C o u n t y Schools as a s s i s t a n t superinten-dent of mid-dle and high schools. She begins work July 16.

She is apprehensive. Knox County Schools has been her home for 30 years. She calls it a life-changing moment, says she isn’t selling her home here and will be back on weekends, but is excited about moving to the highest-performing school district in the state.

“They’re not satisfi ed.

They’re hungry. That’s in-triguing.”

Wright will take her in-fectious enthusiasm along. Spend 20 minutes with her and you’re ready to bust a brick wall.

And she will carry with her, too, lessons learned from mentors. She didn’t want to talk about herself. She want-ed to talk about them.

The late Vicki Dun-away, a friend since child-hood, who asked her to sub-stitute teach at Powell High after Wright’s youngest child was born. She liked teenag-ers, had a captive audience and could wax poetic about her passion for history. “I was hooked.”

Shirley Underwood, the greatest infl uence of Wright’s professional life, the voice that sits on her shoulder to this day, the per-son who “knew what I need-ed to do long before I did.”

The late Jerry Sharp,

Gibbs High principal and her favorite curmudgeon, who took a risk on a young teacher. “If they’d kept me (at Gibbs), I’d still be there. It was Camelot.”

Allen Morgan, Powell High principal, who pushed her into areas she didn’t think she could fi t. “I had no aspirations to be an admin-istrator. That was my biggest growth period.”

Earl Hoffmeister, the former superintendent, who convinced West High princi-pal Jim McClain that Wright would be McClain’s assis-tant, even if it meant she had to drop out of a 30-foot tree during a Ropes Course.

The late Jim Pryor, with whom she played good cop/bad cop at West High. “I called him my work hus-band. When I became prin-cipal, I worried how he would respond. He said, ‘We worked together before, we’ll work together now.’”

Wright helped stop what she calls the “blight fl ight” from West High to Webb School that began in the 1970s. West became one of the top-performing schools in the district. She takes little credit, saying “I’m a shared leadership kind of gal and we made decisions to-gether (as a faculty). Percep-tion changes reality.” Wright says the school exploited its rich history of graduates and created professional learn-ing communities before any-one had coined the term. Oh, and at the time she was one of only 12 female high school principals in the state.

Dr. J.W. “Bill” Phifer, the gentle giant, former di-rector of high schools, who groomed her for her fi rst central offi ce job. (“We used to argue over split infi ni-tives.”)

Roy Mullins, “a gentle soul, a deep thinker wrapped in a compassionate heart,” who taught her to use com-mon sense, but to always err on the side of the student.

The late Sarah Simp-son, “a formidable woman,”

who taught her to never ask anybody to do anything you yourself wouldn’t do. Wright met Mrs. Simpson, and it was always “Mrs. Simpson,” at Powell High, when she helped get classrooms set up in the then-new building. Asked about it years later, Mrs. Simpson didn’t even re-member it.

“That’s because she just did the work. She was bril-liant. She taught me to al-ways do my homework and said, ‘Don’t open your mouth until you know what you’re talking about.’”

She taught Wright some-thing else, too.

“Honey, don’t ever believe your own press.”

Wright says Simpson’s presence still lingers.

“I said going in that I would never replace her. No-body could. I hope I’ve made her proud.”

She will miss the people with whom she’s worked, particularly the up-and-comers.

“This district’s in good hands. That’s the whole idea. Make sure you have good

people in the pipeline and set them up for success. I hope I’ve done that. Some-body always did it for me. People don’t always realize their own potential. I didn’t.”

She isn’t leaving on a bad note, says Knox County Schools will always be her home and that superinten-dent Dr. Jim McIntyre doesn’t want her to go. She’s had op-portunities to leave since she applied for the superinten-dent’s job in 2008. She’s been a fi nalist for a few positions elsewhere and turned several others down fl at.

But she will be closer to her two adult children and to her best friend, Lana Seivers, dean of education at MTSU. She likes the chal-lenge waiting in Williamson County.

“I’ve always been a ‘what if” kind of gal. I feel good about it. That’s how you make it work. If you don’t have joy in your work you need to fi nd something else. I have joy.”

She also has The Wright Stuff. And she will be missed.

display wallpaper samples, includes photographs of all who played football at Tennessee. There is other valuable information, even old newspaper clippings. Big games. Good stuff. OK, I have a vested interest. I wrote a few stories.

Gathering and preserv-ing was a dogged labor of love for Bud. It goes back to 1941. There were two launch pads. He attended his fi rst UT game. He found, in his great aunt’s basement, an old box of very old newspa-per clippings.

Saving history, day by day, bit by bit. Brilliant!

Bud clipped Volunteer stories and pictures from the News Sentinel and Journal

and pasted them onto his bedroom walls – until he ran out of walls. He fi lled a cardboard box. And another.

Bud got smart. He went to the source. He gathered photos from Saturday night waste baskets at the news-papers.

“Sometimes you guys would tell me to scram.”

Bud did not clip and col-lect full time. He became a very good student at Knox High and an excellent vol-leyball player at the YMCA, good enough to get college scholarship offers. He chose to attend UT.

He started a volleyball team. He coached volley-ball. (He is in volleyball and other halls of fame. He is an honorary UT letterman).

When Bud went into the Air Force, his mother want-

ed to throw out the collec-tion. He saved it – under his bed. He asked relatives and friends to help maintain his project while he was away.

After that, he got serious. He begged and bought 8x10 pictures from the legendary Thompson studio. He got a few from the old, old Knafel studio. People gave him football pictures of fathers and grandfathers. He had some copied from early UT annuals.

When the Journal went away, Bud got what would have been football discards from the library. He paid the UT photo lab for hundreds of pictures. He worked an exchange program with the Harris and Ford version of UT sports information. He gave up some game pro-gram covers and received

some spare photos. Somewhere along the

way, he started snapping his own. He got improved ac-cess when John Majors was coach.

The collection cost a small fortune and repre-sents dedication and deter-mination that lasted most of a lifetime. Just before age 80, Bud was fi nally ready to let go. Of course private col-lectors wanted the books. A former Tennessee football player, a Vol for life before that term became popular, paid $10,000 to keep it in the family.

The Bud Fields collection was quietly donated to the University of Tennessee. It is probably somewhere in the sports information de-partment. Sorry I can’t be more specifi c.

NATURE NOTES | Dr. Bob Collier

Over the past few weeks we’ve had weather approach-ing tropical conditions: daily highs in the 90s, intense sun, no rain for days.

The heat out in the di-rect sun is oppressive, even dangerous. The robot announcer on the NOAA Weather Radio from Mor-ristown warns us of the dangers of the very high heat indices, especially to the very young and the el-derly, reminding us to get plenty of rest, stay in the shade and drink lots of nonalcoholic beverages.

But what if you’re a songbird, a daytime crea-ture that has to get lots of exercise, often in the sun, just to get your daily re-quirement of food? And what if, instead of a nice steady internal body tem-perature of 98.6 degrees, you normally run along at a temp varying from 104 to 108 degrees?

If you’re a bird, then, having a place to find some daily water becomes a seri-ous matter. In fact, at this time of the year providing water for the birds is much more important than pro-viding food. And yet, it is a task that is often forgotten, or written off as not all that necessary. A recent survey of Cornell FeederWatch participants, a zealous group of bird feeders who average seven bird feeders per yard, discovered that only a small percentage of them specifically provided a regular source of water in their yards for their feath-ered friends.

With nearly 10,000 spe-cies of birds in the world, you might expect a wide variation in needs of vari-ous birds for water and that is indeed the case. Many species of birds that live in desert or near-des-ert conditions have devel-oped complex adaptations to extract water from their food sources, especially insect-eating birds. Dried seeds may contain only 10 percent water, but insects are juicy. Ants, for ex-ample, are 65 percent wa-ter. Some desert birds are so well-adapted that they never have to drink a drop of free water.

At the other end of the spectrum, sea birds live their whole lives surround-ed by water. But it’s sea wa-ter, a 3 percent solution of salt that would prove fatal to a shipwrecked human being. But such birds as the gulls and the albatrosses, many of whom drink only sea water, have developed a set of salt glands located in their skull above their eyes, which quickly and effi cient-ly remove the excess salt from their bloodstream.

Most of our familiar southeastern songbirds have not developed such chemistry, presumably be-cause water is normally available to them some-where. Streams, water holes, dew, raindrops supply their needs in ordinary times. These sources become fewer and farther between when daytime temps soar into the 90s and it doesn’t rain for days and days.

For birds, water is a serious matter

And water isn’t important to the birds just for drinking. Just watch a bird having a good thorough bath in a pud-dle or a birdbath. They get in there, fl uff up all their feath-ers and have water fl ying ev-erywhere! They are washing off their feathers, which get dusty, infested with mites, and affected by wear and tear. It goes without saying that keeping their feathers in top condition is a critical part of every bird’s daily routine.

So what is a conscien-tious bird-provider to do? If there is a problem, it is that of having too many choices.

A person can provide

water for the birds with anything from a lawn sprinkler, a shallow kitchen pan on the ground, a clas-sic birdbath on a pedestal in the garden, on up to an elaborate water garden with fountain, spray or wa-terfall, complete with water plants and landscaping. Local garden and hard-ware stores, bird specialty stores and online sources are loaded with a variety of gear and devices to wa-ter the birds, and there are books galore on the subject.

One author I read re-cently writes what many of us have observed: “Mov-ing water is a bird magnet.” Just put out a simple spray-type yard sprinkler on one of these hot afternoons and you’ll see what I mean. Robins, towhees, cardinals, titmice and chickadees ap-pear as if from nowhere and fl ock in like the little kids at the Powell splash pad, and seem to enjoy it just as much.

An inexpensive and ef-fective way to bring the birds in is with some sort of a dripping setup. It doesn’t take much. Just a slow drip into a pan or a birdbath will do the trick. Try hanging a plastic milk jug full of water over your still water pool with a tiny hole punched in the bottom of the jug.

A word of caution: I made my fi rst couple of at-tempts with holes too big. And you can’t make the holes get smaller. “Tiny” is the key word here.

There are a variety of commercial models of drip-pers that attach to the edge of your birdbath. They run off your garden hose and so need a lot less attention than water jugs. You can also set up devices that spray or mist. Some recycle the water so that little goes to waste.

You can never tell who will show up in your yard for a chance at some cool water. Last week, Spouse

and I were out at my part-ner Ed and his wife’s place, admiring their lovely water element. It has a waterfall, a little rocky stream and a pool surrounded by lush vegetation, looking as if it were plucked from some cool, shady cove in the Smokies. And Lo! There was a beautiful tropical-blue Indigo Bunting, stand-ing on the rocks in the stream, splashing away for all to see. His plain, dark brown mate stood on the bank, watching him splash; she was apparently too modest to bathe in public.

How exciting to be that close to a small, showy bird that you usually expect to see in your binoculars, singing in a distant treetop!

So, offer some water to your neighborhood birds. They really do need it, es-pecially through the hot summer months, and you’ll be rewarded with a surpris-ing number of neat feath-ered visitors.

How to be unforgettable

As [Jesus] walked by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea – for they were fi shermen. And he said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fi sh for people.” Immediately they left their nets and followed him.

(Matthew 4: 18-20 NRSV)

I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.

(Maya Angelou)

CROSS CURRENTS

I remember the fi rst time I met him. I was a newly-minted young professional, just out of college, and he was director of an on-campus student service. The gap be-tween us – age as well as sta-tion – looked huge from my perspective, but he made me feel as if I were the one per-son in the world he wanted to meet that day.

As I watched him greet others, I realized that he made everyone feel just as special.

“What a gift,” I mused, standing to one side and watching him. I tried to analyze the transactions that were taking place: the conversations, the hand-shakes, the gentle hand on a shoulder of a gentleman, the smile and slight incli-nation of the head to a lady.

It was courtly, yet perfectly natural.

It was real.I would see him occasion-

ally at university events over the next two years, and it was always the same: just the right touch, just the right words, just the perfect feeling that I was somehow special.

Charisma is the word for that kind of charm, I sup-pose, but somehow that fails to capture it for me. Charis-ma tends to make the world

By Cindy TaylorDayspring Baptist Chris-

tian Academy is entering its fourth year, but the labor of love to develop this inner city school began decades ago.

Academy founders Ron and Martha Burress had only met a few times before they both lost their spous-es. Through their churches and missions they were re-acquainted, married and found they had many of the same goals.

“God brought us together at just the right time,” said Martha. “It has taken a lot of prayer to get where we are now. Children today need structure and we teach them responsibility.”

“I was born and raised here but moved to Florida to live until around 13 years ago,” said Ron. “God put on our hearts that this school was needed right here. When we came here all we had was this street corner, and I had that borrowed.”

The couple has worked steadily to purchase sur-rounding land for the school as it became available and now owns more than an en-tire block. Dayspring Bap-

Principal Martha Burress and ad-

ministrator Ron Burress stand in

Academy. Photo by C. Taylor

Teaching life change, one child at a time

tist Church sits on one cor-ner with the school at the opposite end. The couple plans to continue the ex-pansion into the future to create a full campus.

The school is licensed and certifi ed for grades 1-12 through the ACE (Accelerat-ed Christian Education) and registered through the Knox County school system.

Current capacity of DBCA allows for 50 students but with expansion the school could accommodate up to 144. Students are taught the same subjects as in public school and are tested along the same lines. The main dif-ference is that students are given time to pray with the instructors and receive one-on-one encouragement in their life goals.

“We are teaching children integrity, pride and respect,” said Ron. “Having respect for yourself is where it starts.”

The Burresses say the

area of town where they have placed the school has re-ceived a lot of negative press, but they hope to change that.

“We hope to not only change this community, but have some great champi-ons come out of this place,” said Ron. “When you affect a community with things that are positive, you create change. We are causing life change one child at a time.”

Enrollment for the 2012-2013 school year is from 8:30 a.m. to noon every Tuesday and Thursday. School begins Aug. 14 and runs closely with the Knox County school calendar.

The academy oper-ates entirely on tuition and charitable donations, which are tax deductible. Individuals and churches often sponsor children to help lessen tuition fees. The academy is located at 935 W. Oldham Ave. Info: 521-1298 or 243-1113.

see how special the gifted one is (charisma is from the Greek for gift), when what was actually happening was that this person was making me feel charming.

Jesus walks right up to the edge of the water of the Sea of Galilee, and with no preamble whatsoever says, “Follow me,” to Peter and An-drew. And these two brothers beach their boat, throw their nets aside and scramble out of the boat to become disci-ples of an itinerant preacher.

He must have made them feel as if they were the very people he was hoping to see that day.

My day to day work in-volves talking to people who are in need of help of some kind. Sometimes we are able to offer the help they need; sometimes not. Sometimes we say the right thing; some-times we don’t get it right. Sometimes we hear the deeper cry; sometimes we miss it. But most often, or so it feels to me, if we can listen carefully and attentively, and really try to understand the need, even if we can’t meet it, we can make a connection.

And people will leave feeling – no, knowing – that they matter.

Of course, there is a sad downside to Maya Angelou’s truism. Make someone feel judged or misunderstood or shamed, and they will never forget that either.

The lesson is this: Be aware of your power!

Motorcoaches available for Charter

By Caroline LongmireLast week the Shopper

interns took a tour of the Hallsdale Powell Utility District. Our tour guides, Todd Dykes and Clint Stow-ers, took us through both of the company’s plants where we saw the old and new wa-ter treatment systems.

After the tour, we ate lunch and heard from Roy Arthur and Nick Jackson.

Arthur, the coordina-tor of Beaver Creek Wa-tershed, and Jackson, the manager of Operations and Plants for HPUD, are both passionate about their jobs, which made

their speeches intriguing.Arthur spoke about

how the Beaver Creek Watershed is “a liv-ing experi-ment” to show the relation of clean wa-ter to the number of bugs in the area. “Wa-

ter is the most important commodity in the world,” said Arthur. Watersheds are like a huge bathtub where all water drains to the lowest point.

Jackson discussed the “latest and greatest tech-nology” at Hallsdale Powell. That new technology will be helping to get Beaver Creek off the Impaired Creek list and turning it into a clean and healthy creek. The cri-teria are “swimability” and “fi shability,” Arthur said. Few, if any, creeks come off the impaired list.

Hallsdale Powell is doing a fantastic job in keeping citizens’ water clean, having no violations in more than fi ve years. The interns were given a “celebrating fi ve years” T-shirt and water bottle.

By Sarah DixonIs the expensive utility

bill worth it? What actually happens in those pipes? Hallsdale Powell defi nitely has a story to be told.

Hallsdale Powell Utility District was built at a low point, topographically speaking, in 1954. It provides public water and public sewage services for parts of North Knox County, Anderson County and Union County. However, it didn’t build a big enough facility for the ever-growing area. With its newly added plant, the entire team at HPUD has a goal to improve the water for us each and every day.

Todd Dykes, the Laboratory and Process Control System supervisor, says with a smile that HPUD turns bad water into good, clean water, meeting comprehensive regulations with hard work every day.

Microbiologists are constantly testing to make sure the water is pure. Violations must be reported to the state. Even right now, HPUD has a project with the University of Tennessee’s Barry Bruce to fi nd the right kind of algae to improve the cleanliness of the water and provide lower prices for the customers.

Nick Jackson, an engineer, said HPUD

is working with UT to develop a bio-mass suitable to operate vehicles (as a substitute for gasoline).

The process of cleaning the water is complex. Employees at HPUD test the water for solids, ammonia, pH, BOD (biochemical oxygen demand), E. coli, chlorine and oxygen levels. They test the water at the beginning and the end, assuring that the water is as clean from impurities as possible.

HPUD defi nitely has a good system of fantastic employees and a smart goal to keep improving and experimenting to give the best services possible.

“Cantrell’s Cares”“Cantrell’s Cares”

By Melinda TaylorOn March 14, the grand

opening of the University of Tennessee’s new Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science allowed a glimpse into the long-awaited home for the largest academic department at UT.

A donation of $17.5 million from Min H. Kao helped to construct this technological wonder. Kao, originally from Taiwan, earned both a master’s degree and Ph.D. from UT and is co-founder and CEO of Garmin International Inc., a GPS technology company.

The six-story, 150,000 square foot building houses three departments: electrical engineering, computer engineering and computer science. Each program gives degrees at the bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral levels.

UT orange is goinggreen with the eco-friendlytouches the building hasto offer. Designers usednatural lighting as much aspossible, making this oneof the greenest buildingson campus.

When visitors enter thebuilding, they see smoothmarble f loors and color-coded walls to help themfind their way. The helpfuland knowledgeable staffassists with any questions.

Classrooms serve from50 to 150 students, andeach has tiered seatingwith electrical hookups ateach desk.

Min and Fan Kao’s giftwas the largest in the historyof UT, with $12.5 milliondedicated to constructionand a $5 million endowmentfor Kao Scholars and aprofessorship.

The state matched theKao gift two to one, adding$25 million to the project.

By Madeline LonasThis week the interns

visited the Min H. Kao Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Building at UT.

While most of us think sports when we think of UT, which came fi rst – the science or the game of basketball? Just as there is science behind that fl at screen you’re watching and the remote control running it, there is science behind the throwing, dunking, bouncing or shooting of a basketball game. Without science there would be no sports. Pat Summitt understood that momentum equals mass times velocity (P=MV), and that is how she taught her team how to dunk a basketball.

Jenny Woodbery, a com-munications specialist and our tour guide, led us through the new building that houses the EECS. She showed us the building’s cool features. The walls are painted with stripes of ei-ther green, blue or a salmon

color – green meaning el-evators, blue meaning bath-rooms and salmon mean-ing offi ces. With the color coding, individuals can fi nd their way around the building easier. The class-rooms have motion-activat-ed lights and glass boards which are said to be even better than white boards.

As a student who will be attending the L&N STEM (Science, Technology, Engi-neering and Mathematics) Academy this fall, touring this building at UT was a real treat. Engineering is a big focus with teens. It not only sounds fun, but a career in engineering is one of the most promising when it comes to potential for high earnings, projected job growth and job security. The starting salaries for engineers are some of the highest of all college gradu-ates, according to the U.S Bureau of Labor Statistics, while those who choose oth-er professions must work for many years to attain their desired income level. Even

Knoxville has a “big town” look from the sixth fl oor balcony of

UT’s newest academic building. “This (balcony) was built for

parties,” joked Jenny Woodbery, communications specialist

who led Shopper interns on a tour of the building. Photo byMelinda Taylor

‘Wow’ factor for UT’s newest building

A plaque inside the new engineering building at the University

of Tennessee honors Min Kao, major donor to the project.

Kao attended UT more than 40 years ago before co-founding

Garmin International in 1989. His hope is that students will

remember their experience in this building as fondly as he

remembers his experiences at Ferris Hall. Photo by Jacob Messing

UT engineering building features latest in technology

though males show more interest in engineering, we saw a lot more women at the college than expected.

Engineering requires discipline, skill and knowledge in order to design and build structures, buildings, devices, machines and systems. And most importantly, you have to be creative and have an imagination. Most engineers have an artistic talent, and that helps with the designing.

Visiting the EECS opened my eyes to more options for when I graduate, and gave me a wider choice of possibilities and information that I will share with my friends who hope to become engineers when they grow up.

The next time you’re sitting at the Thompson-Boling Arena or at home watching a UT basketball game, remember that there is science behind the heart of an athlete.

HOUSEKEEPINGHOUSEKEEPING

By Sara BarrettThis year, several students from Kentucky and Tennes-

see will spend part of their summer traveling through Eu-rope as ambassadors for People to People, an organization founded by President Eisenhower more than 50 years ago.

Delegation H06280 will experience “The Traditions of Europe” for 19 days, visiting the Netherlands, Belgium, France, England, Wales and Ireland.

During the trip, the ambassadors will take part in com-munity service projects and will visit locations of life-changing – and often times world-changing – historical events. The group will join forces with a delegation from the

Tri-Cities area, bringing the ambassador head count to 34.Halls High School teacher and P2P leader Mike Blan-

kenship will accompany the delegates, along with two other leaders from the Tri-Cities, as they move from one experience to another.

Acceptance into the P2P student ambassador program is selective, and delegates must go through an extensive interview process after being nominated by a teacher and submitting letters of recommendation.

By participating in P2P, students can earn academic credit while learning about the history, culture and people of the places they will visit. Info: www.peopletopeople.com.

means it’s time for Summer at the CLO.

That’s when neighborhood kids get to pick up their Pass-port to the World at the Knox County Public Defender’s Community Law Offi ce at 1101 Liberty St.

This is the theme of the monthlong day camp for children ages 3-8 at the Community Law Offi ce. Summer at the CLO mixes fun with education from 2-4 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thurs-days throughout July. It is funded by the East Tennes-see Foundation and the Ten-nessee Arts Alliance.

The program combines elements from the Arts Acad-emy and The Zone, allowing kids to express themselves through art, music, theater and recreation. Each week will highlight the art, music and food of different parts of the world.

Local artists and teach-ers will participate, as well as representatives from the Knoxville Zoo, the Tennessee Children’s Dance Ensemble, UT Culinary Institute, Wah Lum Northern Praying Man-tis Kung Fu, the Knoxville Museum of Art and the HAB-IT (Human Animal Bond in

mer at the CLO will feature Africa, with representatives of the Knoxville Museum of Art, an African dance work-shop, authentic African food and a visit from a HABIT dog (actually, a trained HABIT dog will attend every meeting).

The second week will fea-ture Mexico with art, Mexi-can food, soccer and fi tness exercises. The third week will take the kids to Italy for art, opera and authentic Italian food. The fourth week will take the students to China for kung fu, art, Chinese food and a performance of the Tennessee Children’s Dance Ensemble.

The program is free, and social services program co-ordinator Suzanne Petty says all parents need to do to sign their kids up is to show up on the fi rst day. Students will be allowed to sign up at subsequent sessions, as well, Petty said.

“We try to come up with something new each year, keep the children engaged and make sure they have fun but also learn something,” Petty said.

I met Joe Neely several years ago through the

Lions, but I did not know until recently what a talented person he is. He had donated a substantial gavel to the Union County Lions Club, and as soon as I saw it, I knew I needed one of those.

I fi nally got out to Joe’s to pick up my gavel. What a treat to tour his shop and yard. Birdhouses were ev-erywhere of all kinds, sizes and styles. A Purple Martin Complex made of a tall four-by-four of treated lumber and about seven “tree branches” also made of four-by-fours was an eye-catcher. Atop each limb was a bird-house. Wisteria was trailing up the wood so it looked like a real tree. Then at Joe’s workshop he had made a birdhouse out of an old alumi-num kettle fronted with a piece of weath-ered barn board.

There were blue-bird houses, bird-houses portraying the old cantilevered barns and birdhouses made of shiny pieces of leftover fl ooring. Joe recycled before the word was popularized. My gavel is made of a piece of

bedstead leg, and I’m guess-ing, but I think the handle is made of a chair rung.

Joe has made wonderful benches out of bed frames – a twin frame would seat two people and a double bed frame could seat three peo-ple. It’s hard to describe his ingenuity, but the seat also

serves as a blanket chest. There are ducks, recipe box-es, picture frames, potting

stands and desks – just name it and Joe probably has it in his shop.

All, of course, made from leftover pieces of wood, with a few of Joe’s spe-cial touches such as

a horseshoe for good luck or a

drawer pull on a birdhouse

for a bird p e r c h . T h e

desk that caught my eye was

made of a dining table leaf with enough cut off to make the frame and the drawer. I’m not sure how Joe came by the desk legs.

Joe was a metal worker by trade, but I can tell he really enjoys re-inventing himself in retirement as a wood-worker. Joe brings his wares to various fes-tivals and Lions Club fundraisers, and does some custom work as

people ask him to. At the moment he is restoring a family heirloom secre-tary for his wife.

Joe serves as a Guiding Lion for the Union County Lions Club, which meets at noon each third Monday at Hardee’s in Maynardville. Come meet Joe and learn about Lionism and his art objects.

Working for Jesus, gifts of love

Jean Hepler displays some of her

blankets that she has crocheted for

those in need. Photo by Tia Kalmon

By Tia KalmonJean Hepler began with

an idea to provide love to those who may not always feel loved. The idea spreads throughout the intricate pat-terns of her blankets and into the lives of others in need.

“These are the people I try to work with, to let them know somebody hasn’t for-gotten them,” Hepler said.

Working for Jesus, Gifts of Love is a charity that Hepler started in 1999. She crochets small 30- to 40-inch blankets for individuals in nursing homes and hospitals.

“I get a lot of joy out of it, when you see an elderly per-son, especially someone who doesn’t have any family, and you go in and you give them something like that, they are so thrilled.”

Because of the many dif-ferent colors of yarn Hepler receives, she primarily works with granny squares, stitch-ing them together to make a blanket.

She has decided to give away 220 blankets at Christ-mas to Brakebill Nursing Home, one for each and every resident, but Hepler needs

help. She is seeking dona-tions of 4-ply yarn in any col-or, materials for quilting, or for somebody who crochets or quilts to donate blankets of their own. Every little bit of yarn can help, she says.

Her blankets are like rainbows, bringing color, spirit and smiles into nurs-ing homes and hospitals. She does not want to stop spread-ing such joy.

Contact Jean Hepler at 947-2250 if you would like to lend a helping hand or donate materials. Tia Kalmon is a student at UT Chattanooga.

ter, 213 Hotel Ave., is cur-rently hosting its seventh annual open show with both 2D and 3D art in clay, fi ber art, glass and more. The Best of Show award was given to Marty McCo-nnaughey for a sculpture made of a gourd, hand woven pine needles, bone and driftwood.

Thousands of Americans are injured each year in incidents associated with fi reworks, according to theNational Council of Fireworks Safety. Most of these injuries occur during the Fourth of July holiday andinclude serious burns, loss of fi ngers and blindness. Though the most disabling injuries occur with illegalfi recrackers, such as M-80s, the majority of injuries are caused by bottle rockets, sparklers and Romancandles.

Staying safeViewing public displays handled by professionals is the safest way to enjoy fi reworks on the Fourth of

July or any other day. Even then, keep a safe distance away.If you plan to celebrate the holiday with your own fi reworks, these tips can help prevent injuries:

■ Don’t let children play with the fi reworks. ■ Never place any part of your body over a fi reworks device. ■ Wear safety goggles to protect the eyes from fl ying sparks or debris when handling fi reworks. ■ Don’t use bottle rockets. Their fl ight paths are erratic and rocket launchers sometimes explode. ■ Don’t consume alcohol when using fi reworks. ■ Don’t re-light fi reworks that don’t work properly. ■ Keep a bucket of water or a garden hose handy in case of malfunction or fi re. ■ Be sure other people are out of range before lighting fi reworks. ■ Follow label directions. ■ Ignite fi reworks outdoors. ■ Light only one at a time. ■ Buy from reliable fi reworks sellers. ■ Never carry fi reworks in your pocket.

Spotlight on summer food safetyPicnics, barbecues and poolside par-

ties are part of summer holiday fun. While warmer weather is ideal for out-door gatherings, it also offers the perfect environment for bacteria to multiply in food – especially when you’re cooking and eating away from the kitchen.

Every year about 76 million Americans get sick from eating contaminated food. Although the usual result is a few hours or days of tummy troubles, infections can be serious. Five thousand people in the United States die each year from food-borne illness. Harmful bacteria are the most common cause.

Good practices pay off Much of the time, such food-related

infections can be prevented by following a few food safety precautions. Uncooked meat, poultry and seafood are often loaded with bacteria.

“Avoiding cross-contamination is the biggest thing,” advises Beth Booker, Fort Sanders Regional Clinical Dietitian. “Keep uncooked meats refrigerated and securely wrapped in plastic bags and away from other foods. Thaw or marinate them in the refrigerator, not on the counter.”

■ Use a separate cutting board for raw foods.

■ Check that they’re cooked to a safe temperature with a food thermometer.

■ Don’t put cooked food back on the same plate that held raw food unless you’ve washed it fi rst.

■ Wash hands with warm, soapy water for 20 seconds before and after handling these raw foods.

■ Use clean cutting boards, utensils, dishes and countertops, and wash after each food-prep task.

Keep bacteria in checkBuy unblemished fruits and vegetables,

and refrigerate perishable produce. To reduce bacteria, rinse under running water and cut away any areas that are

Keep cool with Kamut salad

Kamut (K-Moot) is a mild-tasting, chewy grain that tastes both nutty and buttery. A relative of wheat and spelt, Kamut is a complete protein containing proteins similar to those in animal foods. Because Kamut is larger than rice or wheat, it takes longer to cook. Cooked Kamut can be frozen for future use. Here’s a tasty summer salad featuring Kamut and some favorite veggies and berries.

Ingredients1 cup Kamut grains4 cups water1 cup edamame, steamed per

package instructions1/4 cup dried cranberries or

raisins1/2 cup diced sweet red peppers1/4 cup reduced-fat feta crumbles1/2 cup diced cucumberKosher salt and fresh black pepper

to taste1/2 to 3/4 cup vinaigrette salad

dressing of choiceSalad greens (optional)

DirectionsCook the Kamut as you would

rice, lengthening the cooking time to about 1 1/2 hours (or 20 minutes in a pressure cooker). Check the grains frequently until it tastes chewy, but is cooked all the way through. Pour off any liquid and cool the grains to slightly warm temperature.

Toss the grains with the remaining ingredients. Serve plain or on a bed of mixed greens. Serves 6-8 as a main dish salad.

Don’t blow your holiday with a fi rework injury!

5,000 Americans die each year from foodborne illness.

U.S. hospital emergency departments treated an estimated 8,600 people

for fi reworks-related injuries in 2010. Seventy-three percent of these injuries

happened between June 18 and July 18.

damaged or bruised. Dry with a paper towel or clean cloth.

“Keep cold food cold and hot food hot,” explains Booker. To prevent bacteria from growing in food, refrigerate or use ice or gel packs in coolers to keep cold foods 40 degrees or below. Keep hot foods at least 140 degrees or warmer. Don’t let food sit

out for more than two hours – cut that time in half if the air temperature is more than 90 degrees.

“Don’t let your normal kitchen safety rules lapse just because you’re cooking or serving outdoors,” warns Booker. “With a few precautions, you can avoid having food poisoning ruin your picnic.”

I'm Mushu! I'm a male,

3-1/2-year-old, Hairless Chinese

Crested. They call me hairless

but I have a nice mane down my

back and more hair than most.

I am about 8 pounds and have

had sort of a rough time of it. I'm

pretty sad and ready to look for

love again. I would be happy in a

home with gentle children and/

or other small dogs. Please make

sure you know the breed before

applying for me because we are

unique! But if you understand our special requirements and are looking for a

cuddly, friendly, and loyal guy to hang out with, I may be the one.

My name is Pickles, aka Sweet Pickles, be-

cause I am so sweet. I'm a 9 pound male black

and tan Chihuahua about 3-years-old. I'm

excellent at walking on a leash, housebroken,

and ride well in the car, I love toys and other

little dogs, I know "sit" and I go to my crate

all by myself when you tell me to go to bed

and sleep all night long without a peep. But

I would love to sleep under the covers right

next to you if you'll have me. I'm just on a pit

stop for now with my foster mom and I know

there is a home out there just for me!

My name is Mandy and I'm a 5-year-old female Maltese. I came from a puppy mill where I wasn't treated very well. I'm learning how to walk on a leash. I love to be with my foster mom wherever she goes! I just hop and leap and am so happy all the time! Housetraining is, as always with puppy mill dogs, a work in progress. I do my business out-side but don't quite understand that I can't do the same inside. I'll need someone who will be patient and contin-ue to work with me on this. A house with a fenced in yard may be best so I can run around on my own. I hope you'll

consider making me a part of your family!

on a leash and say “please” and “thank you.” Sort of.

But Coal is an exception. He is very polite but is still searching for that perfect family to call his own.

A recent graduate of HALT, Coal is estimated to be less than 2 years old. His favorite past time is playing outdoors. Al-though he does have ba-sic manners, he will need additional crate training. He does not like to be left alone and will need a lot of family interaction. He’s a pretty special little guy.

According to HALT pub-licity coordinator Penny Williams, Coal “is an expert escape artist and does need to be monitored.” During his time with HALT, he has discovered how much fun it is to play with other dogs, so an additional dog would be a plus.

If you or someone you know may want to give Coal a chance, give Robin a call at 679-9933 or 693-5540.

Rural/Metro adds technology

Rural/Metro has introduced intubation technology into its ambulances, making it easier to open and maintain a patient’s airway in an emer-gency. The King Vision video laryngoscope was introduced in a trial number of Rural/Metro ambulances last week, but will soon roll out to Knox County’s entire 49-ambulance fl eet.

The laryngoscope uses LED digital display technology to magnify the airway and project it on a screen at the paramedic’s eye level for better visualization.

The blade portion of the device, which is inserted into the airway to introduce the tube for breathing, has a camera lens attached. The im-age is then relayed to a screen on the handle of the device.

This allows for faster, more accurate place-ment of breathing tubes to maintain an open airway.

Pilot customers donated $11,465 to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation through Pilot’s

“sneaker sales” program. The JDRF is the leader in research leading to a cure for Type 1 diabetes.
