By Betty BeanA “benchmark agreement”

allowing a cellphone company to meet increasing customer service demands while making concessions to neighborhood aesthetics appears to have made everybody happy.

“Is every neighborhood go-ing to want a cell tower now?” quipped Mayor Madeline Rogero just before she called for a vote to allow U.S. Cellular to build a slightly-shorter-than-originally-planned cell tower adjacent to the Alice Bell Spring Hill Neigh-borhood Association Park. The negotiated agreement won unan-imous City Council approval.

In September, the neighbor-hood association and wireless provider appeared to be at log-gerheads over the plan to build a 150-foot cell tower, which they feared would be the first thing people see when they take the Washington Pike exit off the I-640 loop. The location is next to an access road leading to Knoxville Center.

‘This is Alice Bell’Community, business reach benchmark agreement

“We kept hearing there wasn’t a whole lot we’d be able to do (to stop or alter the cell tower). We wanted them to move it to a dif-ferent location,” said ABSHNA president Ronnie Collins.

But after two months of wran-gling, the two sides hammered out an agreement that lops 10

feet off the 150-foot monopole tower and converts it into a 140-foot f lagpole at 5020 Washing-ton Pike and South Mall Road. A wooden fence originally planned to enclose the base of the tower will become a brick wall that will be enhanced by mature Leland Cyprus trees, matching the land-

scaping at a nearby doctor’s of-fice. Since the 32-foot-long f lag won’t be lowered at night, it will be lighted.

Collins said ABSHNA’s law-yer worked overtime to get the agreement done in time for the Oct. 30 City Council meeting.

“They wanted it done by Tues-day, and we thought we were going to have to ask for a postponement, but our lawyer (Wayne Kline) worked on it over the weekend.”

Kline agreed to withdraw AB-SHNA’s challenge of the Metro-politan Planning Commission’s September approval of U.S. Cel-lular’s use-on-review applica-tion and City Council member Nick Della Volpe, who represents the Alice Bell area, praised both Kline and U.S. Cellular attorney Jackson Kramer.

“I want to congratulate the community and the company, as well as the two lawyers, who didn’t go out to kill each other. It was important to the community that their gateway not be dam-aged by an industrial look.”

ABSHNA vice president Gene Mathis said he is happy with the agreement:

“We are pleased that we were able to come to you with a com-promise. Now we have a beauti-ful landmark as you come off the interstate – This is Alice Bell.”

attended Inskip Elementary School,

school’s 100th anniversary.

The event kicked off a day’s walk

down memory lane for former and

current students and faculty. The

school was founded in 1912 as High

School. The building had three class-

rooms and an upstairs auditorium,

and students from grades 1-10 were

taught subjects including Latin, alge-

bra, geometry and science.

Professor G.W. Morton served as

principal and teacher for grades 8-10.

Professor N.W. Murray, Ada Weisner

and Lillian Hall Gresham were also

original staff members.

Dog gone?A frequent Shopper-News

contributor says someone almost nabbed her dog right in front of her house.

“It was a heavyset female with short, dirty brown hair driving a small, 4-door dark blue car in the Maynardville Highway and Emory Road area.

“She parked across the street, came onto our property, picked up my small dog off our sidewalk while I was bagging trash in the garage and was hurrying down the driveway when I yelled at her to stop.

“She turned, handed me my dog and mumbled some-thing about thinking it was a ‘lost dog.’”

The woman fled before our contributor could get identi-fying information.

Meet Robbie Norman, principal at Brickey-McCloud Elementary School since 2003.

Even though it was hard to leave Mooreland Heights Elementary, where she had served as principal for fi ve years, Norman says working at the school between Halls and Powell is rewarding. “The staff, students and parents are so fabulous and I consider it an honor to be a part of their team.”

Norman spent her childhood in Middle Tennessee, moving about every three years and making great friends along the way. She graduated from Carter High School, University of Tennessee and Lincoln Memorial Univer-sity.

She taught fi rst grade at Carter Elementary for 20 years, and then became curriculum instructional facili-tator for three years, where she was able to observe fi ve different principals in fi ve very diverse schools.

She is married to Jim Norman and has “two fabulous children, who are married,” Abigail and Charlie Lynch Jr. and Andrew and Elizabeth McGowan. “They have blessed me with fi ve beautiful grandchildren with whom I am totally smitten,” she says.

Settle back and enjoy Robbie Norman’s insights.

What is your favorite quote from TV or a movie?Loretta Lynn from Coal Miner’s Daughter: “I just

can’t believe it! I can’t believe that I am standing right here in the same room as Patsy Cline! I just can’t believe it!”

What are you guilty of?Eating too much frozen yogurt!

What is your favorite material possession?My grandmother’s Bible. My mom found it the day my

grandmother had a stroke. It had a Baptist “quarterly” placed in it with notations beside each day that she read her “daily Bible readings.” It reminds me of the legacy she left behind to my Mom and all of her grandchildren. I am honored to have it.

What are you reading currently?Actually, I’m reading many books. My closest friends

know this about me … I don’t read just one all of the way through without beginning another one. Eventually, I get them all read though!

What was your most embarrassing moment? I’ve had many, but the fi rst that comes to mind was

when I was 9 years old. My aunt had taken my cousins and me skating. I mopped the fl oor with my pants more than I skated. As luck would have it, my ticket was drawn for a $10 prize given away from the center of the rink with everyone watching. My cousins pushed me out on the fl oor so that I could navigate to the center of the rink to claim my prize. I coasted to the appropriate spot, but then I was stuck! I couldn’t get back to my place at the side of the rink! Everyone watched as I skated … and fell … got up … skated some more … and fell … you get the picture!

What are the top three things on your bucket list?Gee, I don’t have a bucket list, although there are many

things I do think I’d like to do and places I’d like to go!

What is one word others often use to describe you?Passionate. I hope it is because they see my passion

for loving children and doing whatever it takes to pro-vide the best education for them!

If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?

I would not be so lazy about exercising regularly.

What is your passion? My life’s verse is, “Delight yourself in the Lord and He

will give you the passions of your heart.” Some passions have come and gone, but the passion I have for making a positive difference in the lives of children through edu-cation, as well as the passion I have for my two children and their families, has never waned.

With whom, living or dead, would you most like to have a long lunch?

My Dad. He passed last December as a result of

dementia and I long to sit and talk with him as he was before the dementia took him away from us.

Other than your parents, who has had the biggest infl uence on your life and why?

Wow! It’s hard to narrow that down to just one. I’ve lived long enough now to be able to look back and see that there have always been those special people who infl uenced me in the way I needed it at the time.

I still can’t quite get the hang of…

Using my new smart-phone!

What is the best present you ever received in a box?

The Disciple’s Bible that I am still using after about 20 years!

What is the best advice your mother ever gave you?“Don’t ever let the little things get you down. If you

do, you will not be able to keep going when things really get rough!”

What is your social media of choice? Facebook

What is the worst job you have ever had?I was the janitor at one of the churches my dad pastored

and I was only 14 years old! Oh, how I hated that job!

What was your favorite Saturday morning cartoon and why?

I don’t remember watching Saturday morning car-toons growing up, but after my children were born, I en-joyed watching some with them. My favorite was Babar.

What irritates you?The entitlement mentality I see in some folks today.

What’s one place in Halls or Powell everyone should visit?The greenways of Halls – a great place to walk and

enjoy being outside!

What is your greatest fear? Heights! I have an unreasonable fear of heights!

If you could do one impulsive thing, what would it be? Take my family on a weeklong stay at some exotic

resort!– Ruth White

To reach

blanket goalBy Betty Bean

It hasn’t been easy, but 12-year-old Gabby Bogart is inching her way toward her goal of providing warm blankets for the residents at Beverly Park Place Health and Rehabilitation (formerly Hillcrest North) before winter sets in. She wants to collect 270 blan-kets and so far has 114.

She could use some help.Gabby, who is a Gresham

Middle School 7th grader, hatched the idea of orga-nizing a blanket drive in

honor of her Nanny, Opel Williamson (actually her great-grandmother), who died in the nursing home on Sept. 6. Gabby noticed two things that made her sad when her mom, Jaclyn Bogart, used to take Gabby and her little sister Chris-tina there to visit their Nanny, who was suffering from Alzheimer’s:

It was cold in there, no matter what the season. And many patients didn’t have warm blankets or socks.

“I was cold whenever I went there, even with my sweatshirt on,” Gabby said.

So she came up with the

idea of getting blankets for every resident, something her Nanny would have approved.

She was getting a little discouraged because her mid-November delivery deadline is approaching, but two recent events have perked her up:

Kathy Edwards, owner of Bounce USA, 7312 Mor-ton Lane in Powell, is go-ing to hold a fundraiser 5-7 p.m., Thursday, Nov. 15. Edwards volunteered to help and said her employ-ees have offered to volun-teer their time, as well.

“The admission is one blanket for every two chil-

Gabby needs help dren,” said Jaclyn. “We are just thrilled that Kathy has offered to do this. There have been times when Gab-by has wondered if this was going to happen, especially when we were counting the blankets the other day.”

The other encouraging event was a $200 check from an anonymous do-nor, which will allow the Bogarts to make a blanket-buying trip to Big Lots. They’ve got their fingers crossed that Gabby can meet her goal.

“She’s had a tough year,” Jaclyn said. “Besides Nan-ny dying, Gabby’s had a dislocated knee, a torn MCL, a sprained MCL and a torn meniscus and got di-agnosed as a cystic fibrosis carrier. It’s time something

good happened, and we’re hoping to get this blanket drive back on track.”

Honors

dedicated teacher,

Mary Sue MillerBy Courtney Shea

In 1945, a 7-year-old girl made the journey with her twin sister to Knoxville from their home in Missis-sippi to live with an aunt and uncle for a year. For Mary Sue Beggs, that one year journey never ended and Knoxville became her home.

The Central High School community is the rich-er for her dedication to teaching and community service, and the Central High School Foundation and CHS Alumni Associa-tion are delighted to select Mary Sue Beggs Miller, Class of 1956, for the Cen-tral “Wall of Fame.”

Mary Sue was born in Tupelo, Miss., in 1938, 15 minutes before her sister, Martha. The Beggs fam-ily had two sets of twins and three other children. It was a heavy burden for her mother, Effie, after the death of Mary Sue’s father, Clifton, in 1943. Mildred and Elmer Cas-tleberry suggested that their nieces Mary Sue and Martha come to Knoxville, live with them and attend Halls Elementary.

Central ‘Wall of Fame’

Mary Sue Miller

The twins stayed on in Knoxville, starting at Halls High School in 1952 and transferring to Central for their junior and senior years. In 1956, Mary Sue graduated from Central in the top 10 percent of a class of 350. She started working at the White Store and continued cashiering

for the grocery store chain throughout her college years.

“I would not take any-thing for this work experi-ence. It taught me how to use and plan my time wise-ly, how to meet and work with people, and the im-portance of saving money for my college.”

Wise use of time and a deep love of working with people are themes throughout her productive career.

She pursued a higher education, first with a two-year secretarial program at UT, then at Carson-Newman College, receiv-ing a Bachelor of Arts in education in May 1961. After graduation, she took a position as the educa-tional secretary at First Baptist Church, Knox-ville. Her work with their youth program convinced

her that she truly wanted to be involved with young people and teaching full time. First Baptist Church is also where she met Ed Miller, and the young cou-ple would marry in 1965.

In the fall of 1963, prin-cipal Dan Y. Boring asked her to join Central’s faculty and she began teaching the general business and typ-ing courses. She had found her calling and would remain at Central High School until her retire-ment in 2000. In 1967, she was selected as Central’s “Teacher of the Year.” It was a welcome affirmation for the young teacher to be

recognized by her school. Mary Sue Miller loved

all aspects of Central, and the more she became in-volved, the more she en-joyed her job. From 1979 through 1998, she spon-sored the yearbook. Until recently, students volun-teered, without credits, for the long hours of painstak-ing work to assemble the pictorial history of a year at school.

The dedication of these students stood out when the school had a lengthy school closure for snow in the late 1970s. For three snowy days, these yearbook stu-dents walked or got rides to

Mary Sue’s house to ensure that deadlines for produc-tion would be met.

Friday night home foot-ball games were great fun, and she enjoyed selling tickets in the “sewer” tick-et booth. Some of the spe-cial people at Central were principal Dan Y. Boring, “a man of few words, but he was a jewel,” and stu-dent Joanne Owens, who also returned to Central as a teacher, colleague and friend.

Mary Sue had a full range of community activi-ties outside of school. She

A resolution to construct a $290,000 chain-link fence around a portion of Knoxville’s Safety Building (home of the Police Depart-ment) was deferred on mo-tion of council member and former mayor Daniel Brown on Oct. 16. Brown received numerous calls from lead-ers of the African American community such as the Rev. Harold Middlebrook, civic leader Margaret Gaiter and others.

Brown and council member Duane Grieve feel that a chain-link fence presents a bad image on the major gateway to East Knoxville. It is also a ques-tionable expenditure of $290,000 when the city-wide tree planting budget is less than $100,000 for the same calendar year.

An initial reading of the resolution on the council agenda was not clear as to where the fence would be or if there was more than one phase to it. Brown hopes the 4-week defer-ral leads to its demise. More and brighter lighting around the parking area might solve the vandal-ism problem to the degree there is one. Chain-link fences by defi nition are an eyesore to any community. The mayor would be smart to let the idea disappear. KPD Chief Dave Rausch is an able and effective leader appointed by former Mayor Brown.

■ Sen. Lamar Alex-ander is quietly but me-thodically putting together his 2014 re-election cam-paign by hosting luncheons around the state for past supporters as a thank you for help.

This will be Alexander’s third Senate term. His political career began as a campaign aide to Howard Baker in his 1966 U.S. Sen-ate campaign and as legis-lative aide to Sen. Baker in 1967-68.

He hosted a Knoxville luncheon at Ruth’s Chris Steak House on Oct. 23 where longtime support-ers like John King, Susan Richardson Williams and Bill Sansom attended. All served in his cabinet when he was governor. Younger persons attending included state Rep. Ryan Haynes and law student Alexander Wa-ters who were not yet born when Alexander was fi rst elected governor in 1978.

■ Dawn Cop-pock wants to be the next federal judge to replace Thomas Phillips who retires next summer, 2013. Her nomination would de-pend on President Obama’s re-election. She is in solo practice and is an activist in fi ghting ridge top mountain removals for coal. She is

also a recognized expert on adoption law. Nasvhille Rep. Jim Cooper is the senior Tennessee Demo-crat in Congress and will make recommendations to President Obama. If Mitt Romney is the next presi-dent, then Sens. Alexander and Corker will make the recommendation and it probably would not be Cop-pock.

■ Hallsdale Powell Utility District stunned County Mayor Tim Bur-chett when they sent him a list of three nominees for the open seat on the board. The names were listed in order of their preference. Topping the list was recent-ly defeated GOP legislative and county mayoral can-didate, former sheriff Tim Hutchison.

Burchett defeated Hutchison with 80 percent of the vote in 2010. Roger Kane handily defeated Hutchison this August for state representative in District 89. Why would a utility district recommend such a politically controver-sial name as Hutchison for a nonpolitical position?

It is hard to understand or explain in a rational way. Public relations-wise this was a foolish decision. It is almost as if HPUD is tone-deaf. Surely there are other qualifi ed persons in the utility district.

State law should be changed to conform the selection process with the current city charter provision which impacts KUB. It requires that KUB submit fi ve or more names annually to the mayor for appointment to the KUB board. This year KUB sent the mayor six names.

Burchett should be com-mended for trying to break up the good ol’ boy network at HPUD.

By tomorrow night, if all goes smoothly, former Knox County GOP chair Ray Hal Jenkins and U. S. Rep. John J. “Jimmy” Duncan – along with all the rest of us – will know if their predictions in the presidential race were right or wrong.

“I’ve been saying for two months that I think Romney will win with 300 electoral votes,” Jenkins said, “and I think I might have been a bit low.”

Duncan, speaking to the Concord Farragut Repub-lican Club last Thursday, wasn’t as specifi c about the numbers, but said he, too, believes Romney will win, adding (to laughter from his audience), “and I just can’t wait to see Chris Matthews (liberal MSNBC commenta-tor) have to announce it.”

Duncan excoriated “lim-ousine liberals” for their claims that Republicans don’t care about the mid-dle class. “Over the years I have spoken in about 100 congressional districts all across this country, and I can tell you that most of the people I met at those events

are middle-class, and those that have money worked for it.”

Duncan talked about his grandparents, who lived in Scott County. “They were poor. They had 10 children and an outhouse, and my grandfather used to say that people could make it to heaven if they weren’t Pres-byterian or Republican, but if they were, it would sure give them a leg up.”

Duncan said he could “sum up the Republican phi-losophy in one word: free-dom. Republicans believe in free enterprise, private property rights and reli-gious freedom. We know the best way to grow the econo-my is to leave money in the

private sector where it can grow. The least economical way to grow the economy is to turn our money over to the Feds.”

He cited a study “that shows it costs $229,000 per person for the government to create a job and $50,000 for the private sector to do it.”

In answer to a question about the recent attack on the U. S. embassy in Beng-hazi, Libya, that left the U. S. ambassador and three other Americans dead, Duncan said that during his time in Washington, Con-gress has consistently given large increases in funding for security for our embas-sies around the world.

“We have thrown money into embassy security. What I can’t understand is why we aren’t spending more of that money in countries where there is a greater threat than in others. I think we should have pulled security out of places like Canada and Bermuda where there is little or no threat, and put it where it is needed.”

Duncan predicted a close look at what happened in Benghazi in the months ahead. “We would be hear-ing a whole lot more about this if Congress were in ses-sion.”

■ Republicans willgather downtown at the Crowne Plaza Tuesday night, starting at about 7:30 p.m.

Just one more day … maybe

No one was angry at the Farragut Middle/Farra-gut Intermediate schools Teacher Talk with Dr. Jim McIntyre, superintendent of Knox County Schools, on Thursday.

No one was really happy either.

And no one was in a hur-ry to leave.

McIntyre had a special guest drop in for the fi rst part of Teacher Talk, which are teacher meetings the su-perintendent does periodi-cally at individual schools. Tennessee Department of Education Commissioner Kevin Huffman came by to give a few opening re-marks, then take questions from the approximately 30 teachers and administra-tors gathered in the Farra-gut Middle School gym. The meeting was scheduled for 4 to 5 p.m., and wrapped up a little after 6 p.m., an hour after the commissioner left.

The teachers pulled few punches, and neither Mc-Intyre nor Huffman dodged any. It was clear what is keeping teachers up at night: Teacher evaluations, the ongoing shifts in how children are to be taught, seemingly endless student testing, the lack of even ad-equate technology in West Knoxville schools and time to do all that is now expect-

Sherri Gardner Howell

Teachers break it down at Farragut Teacher Talk

ed of classroom teachers.Huffman wanted to talk

about the State Report Card that was released on Nov. 1. He praised the improve-ments and the teachers’ roles in moving the state forward but reminded ev-eryone of how far there is to go.

“If you look at data from past years, we are getting a little better, but other states are getting better faster. That is why we see rank-ings like 46th in math even though we are improving. And the numbers are true no matter how you slice the data. We have to ground ourselves in the reality that this is where we are start-ing.”

None of the teachers questioned that reality, even in what one teacher pointed out are “the highest performing schools in the district.” The questions and heartburns come in the pro-cesses being implemented to correct the problems.

In the two hours, there were approximately a dozen

questions asked. A consoli-dated look at some of the questions from the teachers include:

■ At FMS, where 8th grade math scores were among the highest in the state, those same students were not able to solve a handful of mathematical problem when denied their calculators. Are we really teaching children critical thinking?

■ In moving to Common Core standards and assess-ments and teaching critical thinking, there are more writing exercises and open-ended questions in the tests. As good as that is, where do teachers fi nd the time to grade these types of tests when a middle school teach-er has 150 students?

■ Are we testing kids to death? “I am giving up 11 to 13 teachable days just to do assessment tests,” said one teacher.

■ Whatever the “rules” are, the evaluation pro-cess is still open to subjec-tive assessments. There is a need for consistency in Lead Teachers, who should be high quality and highly-respected.

■ At Farragut Middle School, access to technol-ogy is a critical problem. The school uses every bit of extra money to improve

technology, but it isn’t even coming close. In order to do a recent trial test that teach-ers wanted the students to take on iPads, teachers and administrators had to bor-row iPads from the students and their own family mem-bers to get enough to do one class.

After the comment on technology, school board member Pam Trainor, who represents District 9 and was in the audience, had one of the best comme nts of the evening, which, unfortu-nately came as no surprise to the West Knoxville teach-ers and administrators:

“I just have to tell you that there is no way I could sell that story as truth in South Knoxville,” Trainor said. “No one would believe that there is a lack of tech-nology in a Farragut school. This is a story that needs to be told.”

NATURE NOTES | Dr. Bob Collier

Things that go bump in the night! There are

really a lot of things going on out there in the dark. And they are often scary, because they are so un-known.

Hordes of critters come out after dark, and hunt, catch, and eat things that are out there try-ing to hunt, catch and eat a bunch of other things. Most of us don’t realize how much activity bursts forth when the sun goes down.

Think about moths, for example. There are way more night-f lying moths than there are day-f lying butterf lies – about 11,000 species of moths in North America to about 600 spe-cies of butterf lies. And most of us don’t realize that more than a few of the more spectacular ones are out there.

Then there are the frogs, toads, salamanders and snakes – one reason why all those camping tents have f loors sewn in them.

Many of our mam-mals do their best work at night, such as the ever- popular duo of skunks and possums, plus raccoons, coyotes and foxes. And you wouldn’t believe how many little rodents such as rats, mice and shrews are out there scurrying around every night, until you walk out on a morn-ing with fresh snowfall and see all those hundreds of tiny footprints going

Visitor from the night

in every direction in field and woods.

All these creatures have learned to cope with the dark and use it to their advantage, both for cover for their hunting activi-ties, and for their protec-tion from what’s hunting for them. But the group of critters that, to me, seem to have mastered the dark and made it theirs, are the owls.

The owls f ly completely silently, yet have a voice that can carry for miles. They are seldom seen, but when they are, they have a unique and intense ap-pearance.

Owls have been objects of superstition and awe down through the ages, and they are considered omens of good or bad for-tune and symbols of wis-dom by all sorts of people.

Here in the environs of the Beaver Creek water-shed, we have four species of owls, out of the 12 spe-cies that occur in the east-ern parts of North Ameri-ca. Our largest is the fear-some Great Horned Owl, powerful enough to sub-due a skunk or a rabbit. The smallest is the little Screech Owl, very difficult to see, with its feathers a perfect tree-bark pat-tern of camouflage. The

least common is the pale, ghostly Barn Owl, who in spite of its habit of nesting in old barns, seems the least comfortable around humans.

And that leaves my fa-vorite, the big, round, f luffy Barred Owl. It is the one by far the most likely to be seen during day-light hours. Instead of the fierce intense gaze of the big yellow eyes of the other three, the dark brown eyes of the Barred Owl seem to look at you with a gentle and benign curiosity.

We used to have a Barred Owl that came and sat on a branch over the driveway and stared at the cat, and the cat would sit and stare back at the owl, but we hadn’t seen one here in years.

I had been hearing an occasional “Who cooks for you? Who cooks for you-all” hoot-owl call from the creek bottom this summer and fall, but two weeks ago I got a rare treat. The current creek-bottom Res-ident Owl paid a daytime visit to my yard!

About 5 p.m. one clear afternoon I had just put up the mower and was en-joying the quiet, when I heard a peculiar bird-type noise that I wasn’t famil-

iar with. I thought it might be a blue jay; they are good imitators and seem to enjoy making off-the-wall noises. As I closed in on the area of the noise, a big stocky silent bird f lew right in front of me and glided smoothly up into a cedar tree. It perched, looked up, looked down, and then, satisfied that ev-erything else was OK, set-tled down to stare at me.

After enjoying the great look at the seldom-seen bird, I eased into the house and got Grandma and the camera. The owl perched patiently, and stared at us both with those big, dark eyes. It let me photograph

it (from a respectable dis-tance) and even shut its eyes for a mini-nap as we stood there and discussed what a cool bird it was.

Owls have a special feather design that en-ables them to fl y in total silence. Their big eyes are designed to gather lots more information in dim light than human eyeballs, greatly improving their night vision. But unbeliev-ably sharp hearing is really their thing. They can accu-rately pinpoint the sound of a mouse’s footfalls in total darkness at a distance of 25 yards! Goodbye, mouse.

It turns out that the pri-mary staple of the Barred

Owl’s diet is rodents – rats and mice. And at this time of the year, with all the field mice having meet-ings to discuss which parts of my house they plan to spend the winter in, I’m glad they are the owl’s favorite meal.

Our owl was still sitting there quietly when we had our fill and finally headed back into the house, but it was already gone by early the next morning, undoubtedly having spent the night terrorizing the local neighborhood mice and, hopefully, dining on several of them.

Welcome to our yard, owl.

CROSS CURRENTS | Lynn Hutton

As so much of our coun-try lies devastated by the perfect storm – a combi-nation hurricane and bliz-zard – and stands at the crossroads called an elec-tion, there are many of us feeling the clinching of a fist right in the center of the chest.

Elections are always moments of high emotion: excitement, anticipation, joy, elation. There are also moments of other emo-tions: anxiety, disappoint-ment, dread, fear. A die will be cast, and a decision will be made. The course will be set, at least for four years.

Now, added to all those emotions are the shock and devastation of Mother Nature. Beaches eroded,

houses struck by light-ning, homes f looded, cit-ies shut down, neighbors drowned, October snow measured in feet.

There are also the per-sonal tsunamis, the mis-spoken – or misunder-stood – word that can change a relationship for years, or forever. The un-spoken word that could heal a hurt, but goes left unsaid, causing the hurt to deepen, darken, petrify.

Is there a passage through all of these?

There has to be, lest we just sit down in utter defeat and give up, opting to spend the rest of our lives wander-ing in the wilderness.

And what does such passage require of us?

Faith that there is

meaning in the jour-ney. Trust that there is a mighty hand that leads. Determination that we will get through. Hope that we will grow and mature along the path. A dream that at the end of the road, there will be blessing.

Perhaps most of all, the passage requires that we make the journey with others, that we have com-panions along the way, that we are aware of the love that surrounds us, that we share that love with all of God’s children, and that we help those who stumble.

If we are faithful in those steps of the journey, we will find the passage through.

Terror and dread fell upon them;by the might of your arm,they became still as a stoneuntil your people, O Lord, passed by,until the people whom you acquired passed by.

(Exodus 15: 16 NRSV)

There is a feeling like the clinching of a fi st,There is a hunger in the center of the chest,There is a passage through the darkness and the mist,And though the body sleeps the heart will never rest.

(“Shed a Little Light,” James Taylor)

A passage through

TALES OF TENNESSEE | Marvin West

Behold, a stranger knocks at the door.

Well, well, so you are Missouri, a newcomer to the big, bad Southeastern Conference.

Come in, come in, have a sip of orange Gatorade, make yourself at home. Why, yes, we do wear shoes.

Don’t worry about man-ners or politeness. Go ahead, be yourself, excited, optimistic, borderline bub-bling over with enthusiasm.

There is no reason to pre-tend. Neyland Stadium is no longer terribly intimidating.

We’ve heard about you, too, that you consider this something like an educa-tional adventure, a fi eld trip.

East Tennessee is a beautiful part of the world. The big ballpark remains a landmark, a magnificent building of historical sig-nificance. It is properly named with the bronze statue for emphasis. Of

course photographs are permitted.

The green grass has been the scene of many great battles, going back several decades, even be-fore the invention of check-erboard end zones.

Several hundred bold men have earned ovations and respect there. Some have achieved fame that led to fortune. Recommended reading? Legends of the Tennessee Volunteers.

Missouri may not be too frightened

Alas and alas, that was then. Big Orange football is not what it used to be. We no longer hear of opponents reluctant to get off the bus. Rivals hit the ground ready to rumble. They certainly do not quake in fear. Noise is not deafening. Here and there are empty seats.

Smokey has been trained not to bite. Music critics say the band, supposedly the Pride of the Southland, is barely keeping pace. There is no one in charge of feroc-ity, no linebacker named Steve Kiner or Al Wilson.

Yes, Tennessee has con-siderable talent but no all-Americans and not much sense of defensive direction.

No doubt you Tigers have already discov-ered the SEC to be a bit more than anticipated. Increased earnings will

heal most of the hurt. Go-ing new places and bump-ing into strange things is called on-the-job training.

The Volunteers may or may not add bruises. It won’t be easy-does-it. Both teams probably had this game penciled in as a vic-tory. It appears Tennessee won’t have a great home advantage. In numbers, yes, but not necessarily in will-to-win. Both sides have only been talking about bowl eligibility.

I suppose you realize you guys have been a disap-pointment, much like Ten-nessee. I hear the Tigers have not matched up well at the line of scrimmage and that is where a lot of things happen in the SEC.

So, offense was project-ed as a strength but quar-terback James Franklin

and too many linemen have been injured. Even Vander-bilt took advantage. Inju-ries? Yes, we can relate.

Offensive coordinator David Yost sent word that his group has been plagued by unforced errors. He calls them self-stops. He says you have made op-posing defenses look much better than they are. Ten-nessee can only hope it happens again.

The Vols, too, have en-dured self-infl icted pain. Fortunately, each Saturday is a new opportunity to get things right. This might be a chance to slip up on some-body. Maybe Missouri, winner over Kentucky, but still very new, has not yet grasped the signifi cance of an SEC victory.Marvin West invites reader reaction. His address is [email protected]

By Cindy TaylorCity on a Hill Church is

thriving and expanding. A tour through the facility today makes it hard to be-lieve that it almost ceased to exist.

Lead pastor Tony Col-son and co-pastor and wife LaShea are dedicated to seeing the church continue and grow. So much so that they make the drive from Sevierville for every ser-vice. But that wasn’t al-ways the case.

“The congregation had decreased in number so much that we stopped tak-ing a salary,” said Tony. “In 2010 we were at a very des-perate time in our ministry and I was sending out my résumé.”

Following an ordina-tion service they attended, the couple were told by an anonymous person that they were at the right place at the right time. Within

Right place, right timethat same week they were touring apartments and saw the same wording. Then during a prayer the phrase “City on a hill, right place, right time” was used once again.

“That was the third word to us within a week,” said Tony. “I tore up my résumé in front of the con-gregation and recommit-ted to the body. God would not let us transition out and we have been able to reach a lot of people.”

The phrase, “You are at the right place at the right time,” is now a banner hanging at the entrance to the church, and the congre-gation has more than dou-bled in the past year. The church caters to a diverse congregation and the décor refl ects that diversity.

“We try to be creative with what God puts in our hands,” said LaShea, who has collected furniture

and art to make the church welcoming and exciting to visit.

The entrance to the kids’ area boasts a castle guard-ed by a life-size lion and the sanctuary has a warm, theater feel. The church provides large, separate areas for parties.

The church hosted gath-erings during October to pray for the upcoming elec-tion and plans to start an outreach for parents’ night out. The Colsons have a vision for the church that

Time for leaf pickupThe city of Knoxville’s annual “leaf season” kicked

off last week. Public service crews will vacuum leaves in neighborhoods through February.

Collection schedules vary heavily based on tree density, weather events and several other factors. Schedules are adjusted weekly by managers in the fi eld.

A schedule can be found online at www.cityofknoxville.org on the right side of the page. Additional information can be obtained by calling 311.

Leaves should be raked to within fi ve feet of the curb for pickup, not into the street. Info: www.cityofknoxville.org/solidwaste/leaf.asp.

they hope to put into play in the coming year.

The couple have four children; daughters, Kiera, 9, Makena, 6, Aliyah, 4, and son Tegan, 3.

City on a Hill Church is located at 3001 Knox-ville Center Drive, Suite 2961B in the upper level of Knoxville Center next to The Rush. Sunday ser-vice times are 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. with a Wednesday night bible study for all ages.

wrote a history of Beaver Dam Baptist Church cov-ering 1775-1958, served as a member of the Fountain City Recreation Commission from 1979-1984, and was ac-tive in church activities.

Mary Sue’s enthusiasm for teaching and love for students shine through when she picks a favorite year out of those 37 years at Central.

“All of the years were fa-vorites” and they “f lew by.”

Business classes evolved, and she found the introduction of the voca-tional education program for business students an inspiring challenge. In 1986, Mary Sue Miller was again selected to be hon-ored as Central’s Teacher of the Year. Her last 16 years of teaching saw the evolution of typing classes into Keyboarding, Desktop Publishing and Word Pro-cessing.

Central ‘Wall of Fame’ From page A-3Her involvement with

teaching and her commu-nity has not faltered with her retirement. Since 1985, she has taught an adult women’s Sunday School class at Central Baptist Church of Fountain City, and she currently teaches computer classes at Smith-wood Baptist Church in Word, Advanced Word and Excel.

She is on a number of committees at Central Baptist and is especially active in the Faith at Work Ministry. The church has

a strong presence at Cen-tral High School, including faculty events such as a fall luncheon and support for Project Graduation for the senior class.

Mary Sue has been a vol-unteer with the Mission of Hope since its beginning in 1996. She and Ed have devoted countless hours in the warehouse and making Christmas deliveries. She edits the quarterly newslet-ter published by Mission of Hope and volunteers in their offi ce. The Lions Club is also the benefi ciary of her

skills and enthusiasm. Her husband is an active mem-ber, and she supports the club with volunteer time as a Lion’s Helper for special club events throughout the year.

Mary Sue and Ed Miller have one son, Dan, who graduated from Central in 1987. Dan and his wife, Kim, have three children: Jack-son, Natalie and Megan.

By Cindy TaylorJeannie Koenig is an artist

with an amazing technique. But she doesn’t take the cred-it. She says her art has a God-given fl air.

“All I do is put three col-ors of paint on paper, spray it with the salt water and then fold the paper over,” said Koenig. “I move my hands across the back of the paper and God does the rest.”

Koenig says she never knows what will appear un-til she opens the paper. And what appears is truly remark-able. Koenig has paintings that look like canyons, water-falls and fi sh to name just a few. Her use of color brings to mind the psychedelic 1960s and fuels the imagination.

Koenig and husband Tom have a lake house in Sharps Chapel but divide their time between that location and Sarasota.

“Every time we go to the beach we bring home a gallon of the ocean,” said Koenig. “I don’t strain it or change it. When I spray the paper, the most wonderful things emerge.”

Koenig keeps the ocean water refrigerated so it doesn’t sour, fills up a spray bottle and she’s ready to begin a new mas-terpiece. She says the salt water with its shell and coral fragments cause a reaction on the paper. She quickly covers it with another sheet to quiet it down, and then gently rubs the back of that sheet. The process takes about 30 minutes and produces ex-traordinary results.

Perhaps the most ex-traordinary result of all is that Koenig keeps none of the money she makes from the sale of her work. All in-

Shopper-News Presents Miracle Makers

By Betty Bean Like many Tennessee fans, Joyce

Burchett High was sweating it out for Holly Warlick last Tuesday.

Mercedes Russell, an agile, 6-5 cen-ter from Oregon and the No. 1 high school women’s basketball prospect in the country, had narrowed her college choices to Louisville and Tennessee, and was set to announce her deci-sion at a 5:30 press con-ference. This was head coach Holly Warlick’s fi rst recruiting class at UT since taking over for Pat Head Summitt, and she needed to make a statement.

By the end of the day, Russell was Tennessee-bound, and High wasn’t surprised. She’s known since high school that her old teammate, Holly, is a winner.

Actually, she’s known it a lot longer than that.

“She was always a gifted athlete, even in rec league. She stood out from the time we were kids. I never wanted to play her – I always wanted to be on her team. She just wasn’t like the rest of us,” said High, who graduated in 1977, a year behind Warlick. She went on to play for a year at Cleveland State, then

for 2 years at Carson-Newman before fi nishing up at UT.

Warlick accepted a track scholarship at UT, where brand-new head coach Pat Head offered her the chance to join the women’s basketball team as a walk-on, whereupon she became Tennes-see’s fi rst standout point guard, setting

school assist records, winning games and lay-ing the foundation for a dynasty.

High wasn’t sur-prised.

“Holly was just that gifted – tenacious and gifted and quick. She had the talent and the leader-ship. She was the point guard in high school, even when it was just the three of us. She could see the big picture.”

The Bulldogs were good in those days, High says, but not quite as good as the legendary Blount

County powerhouses Porter and Wal-land who kept knocking them out of the tournament. Warlick and High were among the last players in Ten-nessee high school girl’s basketball who played the old half-court, three-on-three game.

Teams consisted of three guards who

It’s a miracle!

Holly Warlick’s UT team surrounds her, all wearing Bearden 22 shirts: Bashaara Graves, Meighan Simmons, Nia Moore, Isabella Harrison, Jasmine Jones, Jasmine Phillips, Kamiko Williams, Ariel Massengale, Warlick, Cierra Burdick, Taber Spani and Andraya Carter.

So how does a brand-new head basketball coach who has yet to log a win of her own snag the most coveted recruit in the country?

That’s doubtless the ques-tion plaguing Holly Warlick’s competition this week. Why, they must wonder, did Mer-cedes Russell decide to come all the way across the country to play college basketball un-der an untested coach?

Is it the force of Warlick’s personality? Is it the high-powered coaching staff Warlick has assembled? Is it because she’s Pat Summitt’s hand-picked successor? Or does Russell just like cream-sicle orange?

One of Warlick’s Bearden High School teammates says nobody should be surprised. …

Warlick jersey retirement stirs memories

couldn’t shoot and three forwards who didn’t play defense. Nobody crossed the mid-court line. This system limited post-high school playing opportunities for girls and made recruiting harder for Coach Head, who would soon become the star witness in a civil rights lawsuit that forced the state to allow girls to play full court ball.

High’s father, the late Charlie Burchett, a dean of student conduct at UT, supported Head in advocating the change.

“Pat didn’t like to recruit from this area because we didn’t play full court, so we were at a disadvantage coming out of high school,” High said.

If she had it to do over, she says she’d probably have joined Warlick at UT.

“I’d walk on and be that 15th play-er, but honestly, I didn’t have that kind of talent.”

High has a lot of demands on her time: her two younger sons, Charlie, 18; and David, 13, are on the basketball team at Christian Academy of Knox-ville. Charlie, her middle son (named, of course, for his grandfather) is fi n-ishing up his senior season as quarter-back on the football team, where he is considered one of the top prospects in the state. Son Billy, 23, is working on a master’s degree in math and doing an internship at Central High School. Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett is her brother.

High says Warlick is very deserving of having had her Bearden High School jersey retired, and that she would have carved the time out of her schedule to attend the ceremony if she’d known it was going to happen.

“When we run into each other at Long’s, we take up our last conversa-tion exactly where we left off,” High said. “When I think of her, I remember that dry wit. Holly could be hilarious, but when it came down to competition, she was all business. Other times, she was a lot of fun. I was always saying ‘Did you really say that?’”

Duncan for Congress

Energy Production I support increased energy production of all types to help bring down gas prices

and utility bills and keep the high cost of energy from driving up prices on all

goods and services.

Job Creation I want to eliminate government over-regulation so more businesses can open and

expand, creating better jobs for Americans.

Balanced Budget I don’t believe in spending money we don’t have. With one of the most fiscally

conservative voting records in Congress, I consistently vote to reduce government

spending in order to protect your Social Security and other pensions.

America First I oppose spending billions of dollars on people in foreign countries who hate us.

Our federal dollars are better spent taking care of our own people.

By Pam FanslerFirst Tennessee was proud to be the major sponsor of

Artsclamation!, the annual fi ne art sale benefi ting the behavioral health ser-vices of Peninsula held at Sacred Heart Cathedral School.

Approximately 30 artists, includ-ing painters, photographers, jewelers, fi ber artists and sculptors participated with a percentage of each sale donated to Peninsula. Featured Artist Jonathan Howe’s painting “Goldenrods,” an oil painting with a custom frame hand-

crafted by the artist, was auctioned at the preview party Friday night with all proceeds benefi ting the behavioral health programs and services of Peninsula.

Peninsula, a division of Parkwest Medical Center, sets the standard for effective, innovative, and caring mental health services in East Tennessee, helping thou-sands of people recover from their disorders and depen-dencies to lead healthy, positive and productive lives.

Peninsula Hospital is a 155-bed facility providing in-patient mental health and alcohol/drug crisis stabiliza-tion services for adults, adolescents and children. Pen-insula Outpatient Centers, located in several East Ten-nessee counties, offer a number of mental health and alcohol/drug programs.

Dollars generated through Artsclamation! will allow Peninsula to continue to increase awareness of mental health issues and promote accessibility in our commu-nity by funding early identifi cation programs and en-hancing mental health resources available through the behavioral health services of Peninsula.

Earlier this year the state of Tennessee announced the closing of Lakeshore Mental Health Institute as Tennessee moves toward more community-based men-tal health services. Covenant Health CEO Tony Spezia said Peninsula would do everything it could to help the vulnerable population Lakeshore served. Peninsula pledged to take as many Lakeshore patients as it fea-sibly could, adding staff (including some former Lake-shore employees) and expanding facilities to handle the expected infl ux.

“Our mission states that Covenant Health is dedicat-ed to improving quality of life through better health,” said Spezia. “That includes meeting the needs of peo-ple who struggle with mental health issues. Behavioral health services are expensive to provide and woefully underfunded by government medical programs. As lo-cal programs have closed or decreased services, Penin-sula and Covenant Health remain committed to provid-ing behavioral health care that is critical to the health of our communities.”Pam Fansler is president of First Tennessee Bank’s East Tennessee region.

NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

A Taste of TuscanyItalian photos on exhibit at Fort Sanders Regional

Hospital visitors Kris Sims (left) and Antonio

Lacoucci admire three of the Tuscany

landscape photos now exhibited at Fort

Sanders Regional.

Cheryl Dickert (left) and daughter

Christine Dickert unveil one of the 16

Italian photos recently donated to Fort

Sanders Regional’s cardiac fl oor.

The hallways of the cardiolo-gy unit at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center now have an Ital-ian flair. A 16-piece photography collection of Tuscan landscapes has been donated to the hospital and is on permanent display on the facility’s second floor.

The “Amerigo America: Ves-pucci & the United States: A Collection of Tuscan Art” col-lection of photography was do-nated to the hospital in memory of longtime Knoxville resident Christine Thomas Jones and her daughter Nancy Jones Dennis. Christine was a cardiac patient at Fort Sanders Regional during the last part of her life.

“We spent a lot of time here on the heart floor when Mother was sick,” explains Christine’s daughter, Cheryl Dickert of At-lanta. “She always received ex-cellent care at Fort Sanders and we hope the staff and patients will be inspired by this beautiful artwork.”

The collection is an extension of her love for the arts and her joy of painting oils and water-color landscapes.

“Christine Thomas Jones loved the arts and was an artist,” says Dickert. “We thought the photos were very appropriate.”

Christine’s granddaughter and namesake, Christine Dick-

ert, lives in Florence, Italy, and works with The Foundation for Photo/Art in Hospitals, a non-profit group that places artwork in hospitals. Three of the 16 Tuscan landscape photographs were created by Christine. She is also part of the “Young Anglo Women’s Network” organiza-tion that is dedicated to the ad-vancement of women in the arts.

“Florence, Italy, is so sce-nic that it’s all about capturing the sunshine and the sky,” says granddaughter Christine Dick-ert. “We are excited to share a little of that beauty with those here at Fort Sanders.”

The same 16 Tus-cany landscape pho-tos that can be seen at Fort Sanders Regional in Knoxville are also on display at a hospital in Florence, Italy.

“We truly appreci-ate this beautiful gift. Our staff and patients are already enjoy-ing the artwork,” says Jennifer Debow, Fort Sanders Director of Cardiac Services. “It’s soothing and comfort-ing for people to have something so nice to look at while they’re here.”

The Fellowship Center, located on Laurel Avenue next to Fort Sanders Re-

gional, is supported by donations and the generosity of guests and volun-

teers. The center off ers free lodging to patients and family members who

travel long distances to Knoxville for outpatient medical treatment. Eighteen

fully-furnished apartments provide a home-like atmosphere. Gifts of money,

supplies, time and talent make this caring service possible. For information

about contributing your time or support to the Fellowship Center, call 865-

541-1725 or go to www.fellowshipcenterknox.org.

Year end giving – There’s no better time!End-of-year charitable con-

tributions can provide you with a tax break and give you the sat-isfaction of helping people. Many special programs and services of Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center, such as pastoral care, the Fellowship Center lodging facility and Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center’s Innovative Recreation Cooperative are funded by dona-tions. Gifts can be made in honor of a favorite nurse, therapist, phy-sician or other caregiver.

Timing is the key. If you itemize and make a donation before Dec. 31, you can secure a deduction for this year’s taxes. Smart year-end giving

strategies include prepaying a pledge, donating appre-ciated securities, making honorari-um gifts for friends and loved ones or investing in a life income plan.

Your tax bene-fi ts depend on what you give and when you give. We can assist you and your fi nancial advisors in making a char-itable gift to support the nonprofi t mission of Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center and its programs.

The Humane Society of the Tennessee Valley held its fi rst “Don’t Drop the Ball” spay and neuter week-end recently with a goal to spay or neuter as many ani-mals as possible. With help from other local clinics and shelters, 111 animals were spayed or neutered.

As a result, an estimated 550 puppies and kittens will not be added to the animal population next year. This should be considered quite an accomplishment since, according to the Humane Society, 70 percent of shel-ter animals are euthanized because they can’t fi nd per-manent homes.

In addition to helping control the animal popu-lation, the event also kept costs down for pet own-ers with low-cost ser-vices. Special discounts on heartworm tests and rabies vaccinations were also offered. The Humane Society plans to make the event bigger and better next year. Info: visit www.humanesocietytennessee.com.
