Farragut Shopper-News 062512
A great community newspaper serving Farragut and the surrounding area
FARRAGUT www.ShopperNewsNow.com | www.facebook.com/ShopperNewsNow | twitter.com/shoppernewsnow VOL. 6 NO. 26 A great community newspaper June 25, 2012 IN THIS ISSUE Interns head downtown Annexation of Old Concord Meeting lays question on the line By Sherri Gardner Howell When you boil down the questions, fears and passions for and against the annexation of Old Concord by the town of Farragut, the underlying sentiment of those who live there is pretty simple: If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Town administrators' point of view is also pretty basic: We don't want anyone coming along and breaking it. The community of Old Concord is under the watchful eye of Knox County, not the town it borders. Talk of moves to annex the historic area by the town of Farragut circulates regularly. On June 18, residents of Old Concord met at Concord Presbyterian Church to listen to Farragut Mayor Ralph McGill and Town Administrator David Smoak lay it on the line concerning annexation. Approximately 50 people attended the question and answer session, which was hosted by the Old Concord Residents Association. Mayor McGill emphasized several times that the town's only agenda is to work with the community and to protect the residents and historic area. "This is a special place," said McGill. "We know it is a special place. You know it is a special place. We want to make sure it stays a special place." Old Concord falls within the 16 square miles of the town's urban growth boundary and already enjoys some protection with the historical overlay designation. "You are a little piece of that boundary," said McGill. "Our only goal is to be able to protect you from what might come down the road." Smoak explained that Concord Road is one of the gateways into the town of Farragut and is therefore very important. "If we were to annex Old Concord, we would ask for your help in putting together a Historical Zoning Committee so decisions could be made at the town level and not at the county level," said Smoak. "We don't want to come in and develop your community. That is not what we do. The question is pretty simple: Would you rather the oversight be by the town or by the county? If you are happy, then we can go back to the board of alderman and tell them that." Carol Russell, president of the Old Concord Residents Association, said after the meeting that the relationship between the association and Knox County is "very, very good." "We have a history with them," she said. "They have supported us in the past on several projects that would have been damaging to our historic community. They have always been very interested in helping us maintain the historical integrity of our community." Russell said the association will work in the next few months to conduct a survey and a petition to Last week, the ShopperNews interns toured the Knox Area Rescue Ministries, the health department and ate lunch at the Knoxville Visitors Center during a WDVX Blue Plate Special concert.

"The town would like a formal declaration of the will of the people who live here, so we will try to facilitate that." Mayor McGill warned that historical overlays can be abused, adding that protecting the community is the town's only motivation. "I feel the town is in a better position to be more responsive to issues and problems that might arise because we are closer to the area." The mayor said the meeting was a positive step. "It was helpful to Carol Russell, president of the Old Concord Residents Association, opens a meeting and discussion about annexation. clear the air so that maybe there will be no more misunderstandings," said McGill. "Annexation decisions ultimately rest with the board of aldermen, but I believe we are all on the same page with saying if the citizens don't want it, then we have no desire to do it." Campbell Station Park: Natural beauty By Suzanne Foree Neal Farragut's Campbell Station Park is perhaps the most eye-catching of all the town's parks. Turkey Creek meanders through the long, narrow park that also has walking trails which cut through a swath of woods. The 17-acre park at 405 N. Campbell Station Road is considered a passive park. Situated next to the Farragut Branch Library, the park can be a busy place when a children's event at the library concludes. Parents and children head to the park. With lots of woods and shade, it's a popular place on a hot day. The town bought the first 13 acres in 1993 and celebrated the completion of Phase 1 in 1999. In 2000, asphalt and mulch trails in the west portion were completed through a Recreation Trails Program grant from the state. The park is dotted with an assortment of playful metal sculptures representing children and animals at play. There are two pavilions. Burnside is covered, has electricity, a water fountain, a grill, seats 24 at three tables and is situated off the entrance to the library. It rents for $25 for a half day or $40 for a full day. Longstreet is covered, has electricity, a grill, seats 40 at five tables and is off the south parking area on the hill. It rents for $45 for a half day and $80 for a full day. All pavilions are rented for half day, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. or 3-8 p.m., or 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. for a full day. You can find information to rent the park's facilities on the town's website and can make reservations online or call 966-7057. There is no charge for using pavilions when they are not rented for private gatherings. Recently, Mikol Bukovska, Bianka Bukovska, Lukas Bukovska, Jasper Smelcer and Cooper Smelcer waded in Turkey Creek at Campbell Station Park while their mothers watched from lawn chairs in the shade. There was also plenty of opportunity to hop from rock to rock through the creek as well. Mom Martina Hajkova says the park is a favorite for her and her children because of the shade, the stream and the library. "They can bring their bikes and ride and sometimes we hike," she says. "In winter, we have gone sledding down some of the hills." Although they don't live in Farragut, they still come at least once a week.

Blake is the owner of Independent Insurance Consultants, a Farragut company that offers insurance options for Medicare supplemental, retirement and life insurance, and specializes in senior care.

Blake was born in Knoxville and lived as a child in the Halls and Fountain City area, but moved to Atlanta and graduated from high school there. He pursued his insurance license "because I really love working with people. I like helping good people solve problems and finding unique solutions for them that will make their lives easier." With Kyan, Blake and Candy are building on some of Candy's happy memories as a child. "My wife has so many wonderful memories of experiences provided by her parents, Steve and Denise Watson, now known as `Stevo and Nana.'

One of their favorite things to do is bring portable hammocks and stretch them out in the shade over the creek. They like that it's a quiet space to just chill and talk. Trey Cash, 12, comes to the library every Wednesday, then heads for a park bench in the shade to start reading. "It's a nice, peaceful place to read," he says. A group of 26 youngsters from Kiddie Kottage Learning Center weren't interested in anything but running off some steam after a trip to a movie theater and puppet show at the library. Joe Cooper, one of the keepers of the group, says they take the children to the library almost every Wednesday. Heather Speers likes the shade best and the fact she can bring children to the library and visit the park at the same time. She comes once or twice a week.

TennovaWeightLoss.com 1-855-836-6682 government Lobetti leaves his `mark' By Betty Bean There's an underground campaign to influence Mayor Tim Burchett to reappoint Robert M. "Mose" Lobetti to a third term on Metropolitan Planning Commission. Lobetti already has left an indelible mark. Burchett confirmed that friends and supporters of Lobetti, who is best known as a longtime political operative for the Duncan family, are lobbying on his behalf. Lobetti was originally appointed (and subsequently reappointed) to MPC by former Mayor Mike Ragsdale. "I've had people stop me in parking lots and garages, out in public and had people calling the office," said Burchett, who will also be considering two additional appointments (Stan Johnson's second term is up and former chair Robert Anders is resigning). The terms of two other commissioners � Ursula Bailey and Art Clancey III � are up, but they are city appointees and will be reappointed or replaced by Mayor Madeline Rogero. Lobetti, a consistent pro-development vote, was the center of controversy in 2010 when he recused himself from voting for a rezoning involving a political ally, and then attempted to rescind his recusal when it became apparent that the rezoning was in trouble. The MPC staff attorney Steven Wise told Lobetti that he couldn't take his recusal back. Burchett is noncommittal about Lobetti's reappointment and said there are others on his list of potential MPC commissioners. "We're going to look at all of them," he said. A-4 � JUNE 25, 2012 � SHOPPER-NEWS The $35 million question Knox County Commission is scrambling for cover as parents across the county realize that the budget "compromise" adopted June 4 does not fund proposed school building improvements and lacks money for technology. The most interesting conundrum is in District 7 where school board member Kim Sepesi secured capital improvements for Shannondale, Adrian Burnett and Powell elementary schools, along with Powell High School, in the school board budget. Then her district Sandra Clark colleague, Commissioner R. Larry Smith, opposed the funding. He even voted "no" on the compromise which did not raise taxes. We asked Sepesi at last week's Powell Republican Club what happens to those building projects. "I don't know," she said. "Our district was getting the bulk of the capital improvements." Meanwhile, Smith has told at least two Republican Clubs that he voted "no" in part because he felt bullied by this writer and reporter Jake Mabe who handed out feathers to commissioners with the message: "Leaders find a way to lead; chickens find a way to hide." Sepesi demonstrated skill in securing the school board's commitment for projects in her district. But the projects can't go for- Kim Sepesi speaking to the Powell Republican Club. ward without funding. Smith demonstrated political cowardice in opposing the funding. We say, if the feather fits, fluff it. Massey and Jenkins and Minnie Pearl By Anne Hart There's no question that the Duncan family knows how to throw a party. After all, they have been hosting the hugely popular Duncan barbecue at the Civic Coliseum since 1968. In addition to the nearly 10,000 local party faithful who attend that event held in October of years when there is a November election, it has also been attended by such luminaries as former president George W. Bush, back when he was a mere governor, and former Sen. Elizabeth Dole, back when she was campaigning for her husband, Bob Dole, during his run for the presidency. So it should come as no surprise that state Sen. Becky Duncan Massey, whose dad, the late U.S. Rep. John J. Duncan, started the whole thing, and whose brother, U.S. Rep. John J. Duncan Jr., has continued the tradition, has inherited the gene for giving a great party. She proved it last Tuesday evening at The Foundry at World's Fair Park when several hundred guests were on hand as she announced her campaign for re-election to the Legislature from the 6th District. There was good food, plenty of liquid libation and lots of fine company. Massery was introduced by state Sen. Randy McNally, who extolled Massey's work during her first year in the Senate, and urged those on hand to "find what you can do to bring her back and go out and do it." Massey is running in the Aug. 2 primary for a full four-year term. She was The name "Mose" has been carved into a desk formerly assigned to Robert M. "Mose" Lobetti in the City County Building's Large Assembly Room. Photo by Betty Bean Up on the dais in the Large Assembly Room, on the east end of the bank of heavy oak desks occupied by elected and appointed officials during meetings of City Council, County Commission and various public boards and commissions, the name "Mose" is carved into the front edge of the desk Lobetti formerly occupied (he was reassigned to another seat last year). Knox County Commissioner Ed Shouse, left, and former Knoxville mayor and ambassador to Poland Victor Ashe were among the several hundred supporters of Becky Duncan Massey on hand at The Foundry last week when she announced her campaign for re-election to the state Senate. Photo by A. Hart elected last year to fill the unexpired term of Jamie Woodson, who resigned to head the state education collaborative SCORE. The executive director of the nonprofit Sertoma Center, Massey said her first year in office had been "absolutely amazing. It was a year of great successes for our state." She said she wants to return to Nashville "to assure a government that is both consumer and business friendly, to support lower taxes and to support teachers and our most vulnerable population: those who don't need a hand-out but a hand-up." provide some timely comments about the opposition. Referring to the unsuccessful attempt of Shelley Breeding, whose home straddles the line separating Knox and Anderson counties, to run as a Democratic Party candidate in the new 89th District seat in the General Assembly, Jenkins jibed, "The Democrats' answer to the poor shape they're in is to outsource their candidates to Anderson County." And of local Democrat Party chair Gloria Johnson he quipped, "Her answer to every race is to move there and run for the seat." It must have been Minnie Pearl's ghost who caused lots of good humored laughs from observers and just a tad of embarrassment for a local newspaper writer/ photographer covering the Massey event. Every time the photog raised her arm to take a picture of guests, the price tag still affi xed to her brand new jacket dangled from its underarm for all to see. My new heroes? Local CPA Debbie Diddle, who had the courage to call the couture calamity to my attention, and attorney Howard Vogel who loaned her his pocket knife, complete with tiny scissors, to cut off the offending tag.

Greenways low on food chain Greenways are important to the quality of life of any city. Recently, I interviewed Lori Goerlich, the city's new coordinator. Goerlich turned 30 on April 15. Her degree is in landscape architecture from Iowa State University. way from Adair Park over to Broadway is an obvious and easy greenway to push forward. The city Greenways Commission has not had a chair since Will Skelton resigned two years ago. The city website clearly has not been updated as the list of members still shows Donna Young as greenways co-coordinator when she retired eight months ago. The Commission is inactive and its website is woefully out of date. I have no doubt that Mayor Rogero genuinely backs more greenways. Gov. Bill Haslam is a strong friend in Nashville who can assist in making sure Knoxville receives greenway grants when applications are submitted. Haslam recently announced a $430,000 grant to Sevierville for a greenway to Pigeon Forge. Lori Goerlich is eager but untested. She does not know the politics of city hall or the state. It is uncertain how aggressive she will be. The mayor is the captain of the team. My hope is that greenways under Rogero will take off and set new records of completion. Pensions: The city pension fund is nowhere close to meeting the 6.5 percent goal of growth established in the Mayor's pension proposal. This makes the financial assumptions of the proposed city charter amendment shaky. Some argue the plan should be rejected at the ballot box if altered. Hopefully, local media will cover this issue intensely between now and November when voters decide the matter. Council members Duane Grieve, Marshall Stair and Nick Della Volpe already voted no. Finbarr Saunders voted against the hybrid plan before he switched and voted for it feeling it is better than nothing. Knoxville CPA Robert Zivi argues this proposal is worst than doing nothing. Victor Ashe Jenkins' jibes Local Republican Party chair Ray Hal Jenkins couldn't be at the Massey event, but the ever clever Jenkins still managed to She is a very pleasant, likeable and earnest young woman who still has a lot to learn about Knoxville and her way around the city's 50 miles of greenways. In fairness, she has been here for only two months and is working to get acquainted. She succeeds Donna Young who was super aggressive and energetic, a tough act to follow. She has had one meeting with Mayor Rogero which lasted 90 minutes, she said. The meeting included two of her supervisors, Joe Walsh and Christi Branscom. The chain of command has her reporting to Walsh, who reports to Branscom, who reports to Eddie Mannis who reports to Rogero. So Goerlich is four persons down the food chain from the mayor. She said the mayor expressed support and listened carefully. The mayor's recently adopted budget includes only one mile of greenway (near First Creek) at a cost of $1 million � 80 percent of which is federal money. If Rogero builds a mile a year, she will have added only 4 miles of greenways in her first term which would fall short of what can and should be done. We are told that in-house work will be done on other greenways. Hopefully, that is true, but the proof will be in the delivery. Extending the Sue Clancy green- Dems blast GOP over jobs Veteran Democratic state Rep. Joe Armstrong says that legislation his party has been working on over the past year will put Tennesseans to work, if Republicans will get out of the way. Armstrong and county party chair Gloria Johnson, who is also a candidate for the 13th District House seat being vacated by Harry Tindell, held a press conference/small business roundtable last week to talk about the Tennessee First Act and other measures they said would help home-grown businesses. "This year in the Legislature, we spent an enormous amount of time disputing absurd legislation," Armstrong said. "The Monkey Bill, the Don't Say Gay Bill, telling private universities like Vanderbilt how to run their campuses. ... we spent a considerable amount of time talking about repealing the Affordable Care Act, when we have no standing. All of his took time away from important things." Johnson, a special education teacher, echoed Armstrong's sentiments. Betty Bean "I see a lot of legislation that tells me I can't talk about hand-holding with my students, but not much about helping business and creating new jobs. ... We're interested in getting our neighbors back to work." Armstrong said the Democratic Caucus went across the state last year talking to small business owners and workers about the problems they face. "We designed a package of bills we felt were nonpartisan, like Tennessee Contractors First, which gives Tennessee contractors an advantage on state jobs. The state spends a lot of money (on building projects) and if we can give our small businesses an advantage, we want to do that. "But that bill was killed in subcommittee. We plan to bring that one back." West Knox Republican Ryan Haynes chairs the Democrats Joe Armstrong and Gloria Johnson listen to small business owners' wish lists. Photo by Betty Bean State and Local Government subcommittee, which summarily quashed the Contractors First bill without discussion. He says his subcommittee did the right thing because the bill could violate reciprocity agreements with surrounding states and hurt Tennessee contractors' ability to do business elsewhere. "This was a bill being brought for 100 percent political reasons," he said. "That's why past administrations haven't supported it. Some of those bills get to the point of being ridiculous." Haynes conceded that his party has backed its fair share of "political" legislation, and said he wishes that both parties would focus on "true job creation and economic development. "Unfortunately we don't ever seem to make that the No. 1 priority." Johnson is underwhelmed by Haynes' assessment of Tennessee Contractors First, and cited a nearly $10 million slope repair job on an I-75 mudslide in Campbell County that went to a Kentucky company this spring. "There was only a slight cost difference. Seems to me it would be good for Tennessee workers to keep that job here. Across the state people are very supportive of this bill. It just makes sense to hire Tennessee contractors when we can. "Just because we've been doing it this way forever doesn't mean that it's not something we can do better." SHOPPER-NEWS � JUNE 25, 2012 � A-5 It is long runs, long passes and punts that fly high and turn over. It is 161 extra points in a row and three-point kicks that win instead of break your heart. It is many memories of pancake blocks, knockout tackles, impossible interceptions, missed calls and fumbles lost and found. Tennessee football is fantastic comebacks and horrendous upsets and the wonderful, awful difference in winning and losing. All that is what Tennessee football used to be � always relevant, often exciting, sometimes terrific. This is the revitalization time of Tennessee football. Hope is here. Rebirth seems likely. Improvement is just around the corner. Derek Dooley is optimistic. This is the year of eight victories minimum, maybe nine, and a bowl game that Tyler Bray will find worthy of his time and effort. Search for a four-leaf clover to go with your faith that the new defensive staff will inspire hits you can hear. Believe that there really is a forthcoming running attack. Count the number of players with big-play potential. Count the number of years remaining on Dooley's contract. There had to be changes. Tennessee 2011 lacked adult supervision, maybe outside, certainly from within. There were hints of statistical selfishness. If there was leadership, it wasn't always going in the best direction. There were so many negatives and criticisms � significant injuries, no running punch, inept kicking, sad second half at Arkansas, Dooley's orange pants. And then came the Kentucky game. Indeed, there were changes. And growth. And an improved outlook. Now is the time for good things to happen. Time runneth short. Dooley has bet the farm on Sal Sunseri. The head coach wasn't miserable with his previous defensive coordinator but he wanted a more aggressive concept and varied alignments. Southeastern Conference rivals had found the Volunteers very predictable. Sunseri has no significant experience as a coordinator but he has been through the wars. He has passion. And, his defensive ideas are very much in line with what Dooley wanted. Attack! Surprise. No sitting ducks. Sunseri will be the key. If he can tie loose ends together, if he can eliminate staff confusion and indecision on the field, if he can get pressure on enemy passers, the Vols have a chance to be better. Maybe much better. Maybe even a little bit like Tennessee football used to be. Marvin West invites reader reaction. His address is firstname.lastname@example.com. Tennessee revitalization TALES OF TENNESSEE | Marvin West Tennessee football is 794 victories, the giant stadium, passionate fans, sensational statistics, unforgettable plays and unbelievable stories � Jack Reynolds hacksawing his Jeep in half, Richmond Flowers racing a quarter horse, Peyton Manning dropping his drawers. Tennessee football is the checkerboard end zone and the Pride of the Southland band and nicknames like Bad News and Wild Bull and Swamp Rat. It is the series of remarkable events that led to the national championship of 1998. It is The Stop against Billy Cannon and the Miracle at South Bend and those delightful Sugar Vols and what they did to Miami. Tennessee football is the statue of Neyland, tailgate gatherings and old Vols in the Hall of Fame. Water was once a scarce resource MALCOLM'S CORNER | Malcolm Shell Along with the Dogwood Arts Festival, pollen and annual house cleaning, another ritual of spring is the cleaning of swimming pools. It seems to continually flood the streets with water. I was watching one of our neighbors prepare their pool for the summer and I couldn't help but wonder how many 50-gallon barrels of water it took to fill it up. Of course, some simple math gave a pretty good estimate, but the thing that came to my mind is what a difference 60 years makes in the availability of water. When the pioneers were settling the area, one of their primary considerations in selecting a place to build their cabins was the availability of fresh water for drinking and keeping their perishable food cool. Campbell's Station had an abundant supply of springs and aquifers which made it an ideal location. But water still had to be used sparingly. Early programming and habits are hard to overcome. In the 21st century I still find myself using water very sparingly at our home. And it still makes me feel a little guilty when our lawn irrigation system is running. Fortunately, my wife also came from an area where fresh water was scarce, so our conservation habits have not created a problem. My family installed a bathroom even prior to the establishment of the First Utility District which gave the little village "city water" as the locals called it. Prior to that, our water supply came from a well which we drilled in the late 1940s, but the water was often muddy and it was hard to tell whether you were cleaner after the bath than you were before. Moreover, we had no hot water heater, so hot water had to be poured into the tub, but to rinse off you had to use the overhead shower, which spewed cold water. Now, one might think that the situation I have described was one of an impoverished family. By today's standards that would certainly be true. But we felt fortunate to have an indoor bathroom because most families in the village had an outdoor privy and took a bath in a wash tub about once each week, usually on Saturday night to get ready for church on Sunday. But the conditions described were typical of rural areas in the South during the mid-20th century. And even into the 1950s, some outlying areas still depended on kerosene lamps for light and fireplaces to warm the house in winter. Having an abundant water supply had long been a dream for most village residents, and although community meetings were often held to discuss the matter, no serious action was ever taken to implement a plan. But on April 6, 1954, discussion gave way to action. A meeting was called at Farragut High School by the Farragut Civic Club. Utility districts were authorized under a 1937 enabling act of the Tennessee state Legislature to improve public health and promote economic development. At that meeting, County Judge C. Howard Bozeman, using that 1937 legislation, appointed three members to head up the district. Former town of Farragut mayor Bob Leonard was hired to do the legal work and Fred McFee was selected as general manager. The system came online in October 1955, and 740 customers signed up. Today, the First Utility District has more than 30,000 customers (many of whom have swimming pools) and an infrastructure worth more than $100 million. But the town owes a lot to those early visionaries who realized that growth could only come with the development of modern utilities. Today, many of our citizens, particularly those under 50 years old, would find it difficult to comprehend the value of abundant water, nor would they realize that the amount of water required to fill a modest swimming pool would have been equal to a year's supply for a family in Concord Village 60 years ago. Abundant water is now taken for granted which gives us more time to focus on such modern technologies as smartphones, fast computers and 3-D television, but water? Well, it is just there when we need it. UT NOTES The newly-created Ashe Lecture Series has been established to bring government leaders, past and present, to the Howard H.

A-6 � JUNE 25, 2012 � FARRAGUT SHOPPER-NEWS Enterprise seeks zoning change Sometime soon Enterprise Rent-a-Car could be just around the corner in Farragut instead of down the road on Parkside near Cedar Bluff or Kingston Pike. Before that can happen, however, the Municipal Planning Commission must tinker with the C-1 general commercial district zoning. Tim Romero, regional vice president, and Xan Alexander, regional operations manager for the company, appeared Thursday before the FMPC to see what kind of reception they might get. Romero said a survey of customers at the Parkside location near Beatty Chevrolet and on Kingston Pike near Rice Suzanne Foree Neal Buick/GMC shows a lot of customers from the Farragut area would like to have something closer. The rental car industry has evolved from one primarily aimed at travelers to convenience customers, he said. Enterprise has locations in Cool Springs and Brentwood in Nashville, communities with similar zoning to Farragut. Romero is looking for a location between Campbell Station Road and Fox Den in hopes of drawing customers from the Choto area, Lenoir City and Loudon County. In promoting their business, Alexander said, "We would buy fuel here, lunches here, maintenance here and pay taxes in the community." Increased revenue potential didn't go unnoticed by some members. Romero says the two locations near Farragut move about 100 cars a day. Much of the discussion centered on where cars would be parked in off hours. Often Enterprise moves cars to the back of the building and secures them behind a fence. The word "fence" raised visions of a very tall chain-link one that neighbors might not appreciate. Romero and Alexander stressed that the cars would be kept out of sight at night and were willing to use any type of fencing the town favored. Actually, Community Development Director Ruth Hawk favored just the opposite. She said there were many other ways to address their security concerns than a fence. Having only one paved parking lot would be better for the storm water system. The main concern for the company is that cars not be illegally driven off the lot. "Do we really care if rental cars are parked there or my car?" Hawk asked the commission, referring to the upfront parking lot. "We have extensive landscaping requirements. A few gates and landscaping could solve their security problem." Hawk will work on tweaking the ordinance while Enterprise searches for a location and presents a site plan. The evening didn't go so well for Mark McNew representing Dura-Line in the Parkside Plaza building. That company wants its name on the building, but that would add a sign and the present ordinance only allows two signs on five-story buildings in town. Staff recommended against changing the ordinance. The out-of-state owner of the building doesn't want to change the groundmounted sign that exists now, although the town would allow a directory type sign to replace it. Once discussion got started, Ed Whiting suggested they scrap the section of the Farragut Municipal Code that was added specifically to address additional signage on the five-story building a few years back. "The only wall sign that would be allowed is a building name," he said, reverting back to previous wording. "In this case, part of the building has changed names several times. Create a name for the building rather than tenants." Hawk was directed to come up with new wording for the ordinance. Commissioner Noah Myers was uncomfortable with taking any action without more public input, so the FMPC will hold a workshop before the July 19 meeting and then take a vote. City sets business fair The city of Knoxville will award millions of dollars in contracts during the next 12 to 18 months, and officials want local businesses to have the first opportunity to bid on those contracts.

Midpoint Golf pro Tom Foree dies at age 93 By Sherri Gardner Howell Many of the family and friends gathered at Click Funeral Home in Farragut last Wed nesday looked at the coffin draped in the Stars Tom Foree and Stripes and saw wide fairways and lush greens. Tom Foree, 93, was no doubt a great addition to someone's heavenly foursome, when Tennessee's oldest dues-paying member of the Professional Golfers Association died on June 17 at West Hills Health and Rehab after a long illness. Mr. Foree, father of Farragut Shopper-News community reporter Suzanne Foree Neal, was the head golf professional at Fox Den Country Club from its early days as a 9-hole course in 1969 until his retirement in 1983. Mr. Foree and his wife, Louise, were a big part of shepherding the club and growing golf community through the early days. Mr. Foree's connection to golf started as an elementary student in Niota, Tenn., when he would watch golfers at the golf course adjacent to the school as they lost balls on the course. When school was over, he would retrieve will host a farewell concert by the UT Chamber Singers as they prepare to leave for a 10-day choral residency in Belfast and Dublin. The concert will be held 8 p.m. Thursday, June 28. Everyone is invited. the golf balls and sell them back to golfers. Locally, Mr. Foree started his golf career at age 19 when he accepted the head job at Green Meadow Golf Club in Maryville. He would work the golf season at Green Meadow and then go to work at Alcoa Inc. aluminum company during the winter. He volunteered for military service in World War II and was a combat navigator attached to the Eighth Air Force in England. After flying 27 missions and earning the Air Medal, Three Oak Leaf Clusters, Eastern Theater Ribbon and three Battle Stars, Mr. Foree returned to Maryville. It was at his job at Alcoa Inc. where he met machinist third class and future wife, Louise Reynolds. They both had the day off on March 27, 1946, so they eloped and got married in Duluth, Ga. Mr. Foree joined his brother, Lloyd Foree, at Holston Hills Country Club and became the assistant pro. He spent his longest tenure at the golf course at WrightPatterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio, returning to Knoxville in 1969. Even after retirement from Fox Den, Mr. Foree found he couldn't stay away from the golf course. He worked as head pro at Willow Creek, assistant pro at Cedar Hills Golf Course and then helped run the East Tennessee Pro-Am events for area pros and amateurs on Mondays, often with Louise by his side. At age 85, he shot his age at Fox Den. Mr. Foree played golf with many of the great names in the sport, including Gene Sarazen, Julius Boros and Arnold Palmer. He was the assistant golf pro at Sciota Country Club when a 10-year-old youngster named Jack Nicklaus started playing golf. Mr. Foree is preceded in death by his brothers, Mel and Lloyd Foree, and sister, Glenna Foree. He is survived by his wife of 66 years, Louise; daughter, retired News Sentinel writer and copy editor Suzanne Neal, and grandson Brian Neal; and son Ron Foree, all of Farragut; and sister-in-law Juanita Foree of Alcoa.

SHOPPER-NEWS � JUNE 25, 2012 � A-9 An inmate from the Knox County Jail stakes tomato plants at a garden at the Knox County Detention Facility. A pilot program allows female inmates to work there three days a week. "It doesn't matter how hot it is, they'd rather be outside than in," says Knox County Sheriff's Department Cpl. Peggy Branson. Below, David Lockwood of UT's Plant Science Department was recently recognized by Knoxville Green Association for his work on an orchard at the Knox County Detention Facility. Photos by Wendy Smith How a garden grows B Wendy S ith By W d Smith David Lockwood had never heard of Maria Compere before she called to ask for help with an orchard. His quick Internet search revealed that 96-year-old Compere is the founder of Knoxville Green Association, which is responsible for numerous beautification projects, including the planting of 1.7 million daffodil bulbs along Pellissippi Parkway. Lockwood, like many others before him, caught Compere's vision and agreed to design an orchard for the Knox County Detention Facility in East Knox County. He recently received an award from Knoxville Green for his efforts there. "He's the sweetest guy," says Compere. pilot ll s A pilot program allows a crew pilot of six to eight female inmates from the county jail to work at the garden three days a week. Before it was established three years ago, the only work programs available to women were in the jail's kitchen and laundry room. The garden has flourished under the care of the enthusiastic crew. "They want to be outside, out in the sun," says Knox County Sheriff's Office Cpl. Peggy Branson, who supervises the program. Knoxville Green had already donated a greenhouse, seeds and plants for the garden. But Compere wanted to add an orchard, and Lockwood was perfectly suited for the task. As a UT extension fruit and nut crop specialist, he works with growers from across th st t and as bl t n the state and was able to procure nearly 100 peach and apple trees for the project from a grower in McMinnville. He also worked well with the prisoners. He taught the inmates without talking down to them, says Branson. The respect was mutual. "It was a delight to work with them because they were very interested in how to do it," says Lockwood. Working in the garden is a new experience for inmates who have spent their lives in housing projects, says Branson. Some don't even know what a goat is when they first see one on the farm. But they come to love caring for them, as well as the donkeys and chickens. They also love watching the seeds sprout in the greenhouse and are amazed at how quickly the plants yield a harvest. The orchard, which was planted in April, will take a little longer to produce. Lockwood says the peach trees could bear fruit in three years, and the apple trees in four. The trees are already flourishing, and Branson doesn't mind the wait. The orchard will be a source of pride to those who planted it long after they have served their time, she says. Federal regulations prohibit the inmates from eating the produce from the garden. Instead, it's used to feed KCSO staff and donated to neighbors. Lockwood hopes that the women who work there will reap other rewards, like an interest that leads to growing a few vegetables at home or even a career in horticulture after they are released. The program has been so successful that representatives from two other prisons in Tennessee have contacted him for more information. Branson, who loves her job, says anyone can do it.

What is the best way to get people to stop smoking? How do we prevent babies from being born substance-abused? Is the food on your plate safe to eat? The mission of the Knox County Health Department (KCHD) is to encourage, promote and assure the development of an active, healthy community through innovative public health practices. The interns learned it's a big job, being led by Dr. Martha Buchanan who says, "The community is now my p at i e nt ." She said child hood diabetes is being diagBuchanan nosed at the same rate as for adults and she is very concerned that the law requires that only 1/3 of our school lunches be composed of local foods. Dr. Buchanan pointed out the benefit of pushing for more local food. This practice benefits our health along with our local food growers and suppliers, and generates more local taxes dollars. Everyone wins. "Lets Help Somebody" is the KCHD motto explained D. Andes. He described the numerous programs and services offered by Andes the KCHD from birth through old age. They provide services that range from infant vaccines to mosquito spraying. Scott Bryan, manager of Food Inspection, said that they inspect theaters and hotels/ motels, but the "meat and potatoes" of the Bryan inspections are really the restaurants. The top 10 things most restaurants fail at are failing to cool, cross-contamination, personal hygiene, improper reheating, improper holding, mixing of raw and cooked foods, food from unapproved sources, improper cleaning, over-prepping food and inadequate cooking. Hand-washing is a real problem. He said studies show that proper hand-washing can reduce foodborne problems by 80 percent because most of the problems are fecal to oral. Brooke Rathnow, who teaches healthy behaviors for pregnancy, introduced us to 3 demonstration babies. The alcohol affected baby was very boney, skinny and tiny. The baby's eyes were smaller than a normal baby. Also, the crease between the nose and lips was not developed. The drug-affected baby didn't look as different, but acted different. It was very weak and shook from having withdrawal from the drugs. The Shaken Baby had a clear plastic head showing its brain. Rathnow demonstrated the effects of shaking a baby, and at first the baby cried, but the more it was shaken, the weaker the cries became until they stopped. While she was shaking the model baby, lights lit up showing the brain damage. The baby would stop crying because it would black out or the neck would snap and it would die. The baby can also suffer from breaks to longer bones on its arm and legs, ribs and even damage to the spinal cord. The KCHD isn't just helping somebody, they are helping everybody. A-10 � JUNE 25, 2012 � SHOPPER-NEWS The health department Not just shots By Sarah Dixon On our second week as Shopper interns, we traveled to the Knox County Health Department. We met in a classroom where Ranee Randby brought in experts to talk about what they do. Dr. Martha Buchanan, the health officer for the county, told us about the many roles that the health department plays in the community. She said the focus is on policy, partnership and protection. Her passion for the job was evident when she said, "The community is my patient now." She gave us new ideas of how to help our community when she stated, "We are not going to help the community one person at a time." D. Andes shared his role in the Social Services Indigent Program that helps people to get teeth pulled, qualified job interviews, medication and things that they really need. He talked to us about the people that scare us that live on the side of the road and opened our eyes to who they really are by saying, "People are just Caroline and Elizabeth Longmire pass around the Fetal Alcohol Syndrome model baby. Photos by Sarah Dixon people, and sometimes bad things happen to them." Scott Bryan, a health inspector, was a big hit with all of us as he elaborately explained foodborne illnesses, bacteria in the food we eat and what goes into an inspection. Our tour guide there laughed and said, "I hope you know where your food comes from." Bryan had detailed stories of revolting things he had found and seen in his years as an inspector. "It's a really cool job," he said, though none of us were convinced. The last person to speak was Brooke Rathnow who works with Stay Teen. She brought in models representing the Fetal Alcohol Syndrome baby, the Drug Addicted baby and the Shaken baby. As we passed the babies around, we were all moved by the reality of these tragedies. It was amazing to hear how much the children were affected for the rest of their lives. Our trip was eye-opening and informative. Although we were less excited about our lunch outing and a little squeamish from the talk about bed bugs, the knowledge we had gained was worth it.

A-12 � JUNE 25, 2012 � SHOPPER-NEWS Who, what, where of Knox tourism By Sherri Gardner Howell Kim Davis, communications manager for the Knoxville Tourism and Sports Corporation, concentrated on three of the five W's of journalism in a lively presentation to the Rotary Club of Farragut. The recently embattled KTSC, now led by interim president Kim Bumpas, came under fire when the salary and bonus structure of now retired KTSC head Gloria Ray came to light, leading to Ray's forced retirement and an independent audit of the organization. In her presentation on "who we are, what we do and where we are going," Davis told the group that KTSC is being guided by three principles: Transparency, Education and Community Involvement. "We are re-evaluating every single thing we do to make sure we are clear on those three things," said Davis. Davis briefly outlined the duties of the 18 people on staff at the tourism nonprofit, from the sales staff who work to get groups and meetings to Knoxville to the services team, who she calls their "Navy Seals." "Once we have an organization sold on our area, the services team swoops in and makes everything work," said Davis. "Whatever is needed to make the experience in Knoxville positive, they work on it." Davis also outlined some of the upcoming events on the calendar for Knoxville, including a national AYSO soccer tournament, BoomsDay, a national horseshoe tournament and the monthly "Gotta Know Knoxville" program that teaches business owners, hotel and restaurant staff and interested community leaders about the attractions, venues and retail outlets in the Knoxville area. When asked what attracts groups and visitors to the Knoxville area, Davis said that some of the top reasons are the ease of getting around Knoxville, the walkability of the downtown area, and the people who live and work here. "We, the people here, are the ones who sell this city," said Davis.

Owner and founder of Sustainable Futures, Bolt presented the possibilities of a better world to members and guests of the Rotary Club of Farragut in his discussion of his own home and the company he built that strives to use only sustainable energy. Beginning with a lake house with only one occupant, Bolt now has negative utility bills at the house with his family of four. The ZEH (Zero Energy House) has solar panels and other energy-saving and energygenerating features that produce more energy monthly than the family consumes, resulting in "bills" that show credits instead of debits. Bolt also drives a Leaf all-electric car, which costs him $2.50 to drive 80 to 100 miles. "At the business park where Sustainable Futures office is located, we are generating $700 per month in power," he told the atalso put in a wood gasification system that burns wood pallets and doesn't require constant `feeding' of wood." His office complex has a 6,000-squarefoot building. Bolt, who has undergraduate and master's degrees in electrical engineering from Georgia Tech and a master's in computer science from the University of Tennessee, said his conviction to change his lifestyle began in earnest in 2004. He said, "The problems of our world seemed to me to be connected to the fact that we are living beyond our means. I found we live above our means in ways other than just financial. After a 30-year career as a software developer, I wanted to learn how to live sustainably." The Rotary Club of Farragut meets each Wednesday at noon at Fox Den Country Club.

SHOPPER-NEWS � JUNE 25, 2012 � A-15 News from Rural/Metro Lawn care made safe By Rob Webb you take p r i d e in your lawn or it's simply another job on the honey-do list, every h o m e Webb o w n e r takes on lawn maintenance when the temperature starts to rise. On the surface, mowing your lawn, trimming your hedges and caring for your yard might not seem dangerous, but many people become complacent forgetting most lawn care tools are power tools, sharp blades or a combination of the two. According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, more than 25,000 people are injured each year caring for their lawns, including 75 deaths. One-fifth of those deaths occur when children get in the path of a mower. Fortunately, accidents around the yard can be avoided with a little extra care, supervision and focus. When using any gasoline or electric-powered tools, concentrate on the task at hand and do not leave machinery plugged in or running unattended, even for a short period of time. When it's hot, wear long-sleeved shirts and Whether pants while operating power tools. Long sleeves and pants protect you from harmful UV rays, as well as from sticks and rocks that shoot out from under the mower or away from the clippers. Wearing appropriately fitting clothing can be a lifesaver. Don't wear loose or baggy clothing that can get caught in engine parts. Dress safely in the heat and make sure you stay hydrated with plenty of water. In addition to mowers, gardening tools provide sharp blades that can be dangerous when mishandled or left out around the yard to be stepped on. Survey the area you are going to work on before you begin. Remove any dangerous objects and always put tools away after using them so they won't be a hazard. Most importantly, know where your children are when operating machinery or sharp tools on the lawn. Make sure they are inside the house or carefully supervised away from your work area until you have packed all your tools back into the garage. Make your lawn the envy of the neighborhood this summer, but be sure you and your family enjoy the yard safely as well. Rob Webb is East Tennessee manager for Rural/Metro. Thriving Knox library offers new services By Jake Mabe Longtime Knox County Public Library director of reference services Janet Drumheller spoke to the Halls B&P at Beaver Brook last Tuesday. Janet is a neighbor. She lives in Fountain City and has worked at the public library her entire professional life. She started by shelving books at the Burlington branch and began working on the reference desk in 1983. She has seen a lot of changes, especially the advent of personal computers and the Internet. But has the World Wide Web affected the library's business? Nope. Janet's department answers 300,000 reference questions a year. "It can be something as simple as asking the title of a new book by John Grisham or as complex as `I want to start a business, what do I do?' " The library offers ebook rentals as one of its newest services. Janet says the library began offering them 16 months ago and that 100,000 e-books were circulated last month. The library's website (www.knoxlib.org) offers everything from online reference databases to access to Chilton auto repair manuals and legal forms to users being able to place a hold on a particular item and have it shipped to the branch library in their community. She said the library system, which includes 17 branches, Lawson McGhee Library and two floors at the East Tennessee History Center, contains 1.1 million items in its collection. Circulation for 2011 was 2.8 million. 150,000 Knox County residents have active library cards. Free Internet access is available at every branch and downtown. The library also offers exciting summer programs for kids, including the children's and teen reading programs. It also manages Dolly Parton's Imagination Library program in Knox County and offers Janet Drumheller other lesser-known services, such as Books for the Homebound. "The library has been a wonderful place to work," Janet says. "I work with some wonderful people and am very proud of our customer service skills. We want all of you to come use your library." For more information on all of the library's services, visit www.knoxlib. org or call 215-8700. Visit Jake Mabe online at jakemabe. blogspot.com. Ayres retires from KCDC Community Development Corporation (KC D C ) Vice President of Housing Jamie Ayres will retire June 29, Ayres after nearly 40 years with the public housing organization. "Jamie's hard work and dedication helped shape KCDC and impacted who we are as a company," said Alvin Nance, executive director and CEO. "The influence she has had on KCDC and its programs will be felt for years to come." Ayres oversaw 90 employees in the management, Knoxville's maintenance and renovation of KCDC's more than 3,700 units in 23 properties, as well as directing the tax credit program and admissions and quality assurance programs. She came to KCDC in 1973. Her first assignment was at Walter P. Taylor Homes in Five Points. Nearly 40 years later, she oversaw the completion and leasing of the Residences at Eastport, an 85-unit affordable community exclusively for seniors in the Five Points neighborhood. The property is the first step in the revitalization of that community. It was full circle. In her retirement, Ayres will garden, travel and spend more time with her husband, Ed Miles, at their home in Bearden. Lawson joins Moxley Carmichael Jennifer Lawson has joined Moxley Carmichael as a senior account executive specializing in health Lawson clients. Previously, she oversaw communications and marketing for Summit Medical Group for almost five years, and was a community editor and reporter at the News Sentinel for more than eight years.

Previous reporting experience was at five daily newspapers in Florida, Louisiana, Ohio and Tennessee, where she covered the health, education, government, courts, police and investigative projects beats.

The incredible uniqueness of adolescents � from 10 to 14 years old � demands and deserves a program that matches their energy, curiosity, David Nelson and social nature. At Webb, the middle school experience focuses both on strengthening core academic skills to better ensure success at the high school level and on exploring a wide array of nonacademic interests that add diversity and value to a balanced day. Placing the student at the center of learning and discovery, and recognizing that intellectual growth is one of the many developmental challenges for a middle schooler are at the heart of Webb's Middle School philosophy. As early adolescents enter into this critical stage of self-exploration, they deserve a program with a broad and A diverse array of classes and activities. Webb's extensive offerings in both curricular and extracurricular areas help to ensure that the school is developing well-rounded, young leaders and allowing students to investigate areas of great passion. Students take daily classes in math, science, world languages, social studies, literature, and composition; and those classes form the bulk of their school day. Additionally, students can enroll in various music, art, drama, robotics, and physical education classes. This balanced and diverse daily schedule allows them to gain an understanding of and appreciation for various disciplines, while acquiring key core knowledge and skills. It is through these classes that Webb aspires to develop the salient skills of the 21st century student: communications, collaboration, innovation, creativity, and problem solving. These critical skills will allow students to tackle more rigorous content in future study as well as prepare them for an ever-changing world. Sixth grade students anchor their day with the six core academic classes. Additionally, they engage In Webb's Middle School, students explore a range of disciplines in visual art, including ceramics, sculpture, drawing, painting, printmaking, and digital imaging. The school's performing arts electives include drama, strings, band, chorus, and handbells. in an exploratory program in the non-academic curriculum that accounts for two class periods each day. All sixth grade students at Webb study instrumental music, choral music, art, robotics, and drama each for seven weeks. Also, every sixth grade student takes physical education every day within a curriculum that focuses both on life sports and cardio fitness. Again, the objective of this elective facet of the day is to expose students during their formative years to a wide variety of non-academic topics that will allow them to choose future classes based on direct, personal experience. In the seventh and eighth grades, Webb students enter into a more open electives program that includes courses in band, strings, handbells, chorus, drama, art, robotics, P.E. life sports, and cardio fitness. Seventh grade students enroll in four nonacademic offerings, alternating two each day in an A/B schedule. For example, a student could take art and robotics on an A day and follow it the next day � a B day � with cardio fitness and strings. At this point in a young person's development, beyond the required academic course load, Webb believes in empowering the older middle schoolers to choose their electives from the array of available courses with no restrictions. Middle school is not merely an extension of elementary school, and it is certainly not simply the precursor to high school. It is a unique time in a young person's life where maturation is taking place on more than a few fronts, and it is critical that the school environment acknowledges that and constructs a school day that reflects that recognition.

Dodie Kishbaugh paints flowers during the oil painting class at Strang Senior Center. Also painting in the background are Ruth Ford, Paul "Roger" Harmadi and Joyce Hutchinson. Samaritan Place aiding seniors 14 years Oil painting instructor Alex Dumas praises student Mary Ellen Berger. "She has an incredible memory. She creates her paintings from her mind," he said. Berger and Roger Harmadi met in painting class and were married three years ago. Dumas was the best man for their wedding. Samaritan Place program manager Joy McNeil commends Jef Gardner for sharing his testimony of how he was helped by them and now lives independently.

Though disabled, he was not receiving his Social Security benefits. He stayed at the emergency shelter for a few months while the staff at Samaritan Place helped him apply for these benefits and for affordable housing through HUD. Today, he lives independently and is currently researching and writing a historical account of Native Americans. On June 14, Gardner shared his story at the ceremony hosted at Samaritan Place. Some seniors at Samaritan Place, like Gardner, have experienced neglect. Others have been taken advantage of, mistreated or even abused. "Because elder abuse can be an uncomfortable subject, elder abuse is a hidden problem in our nation and is much more common than most people realize," said the Rev. Ragan Schriver. "That's why it's so important that we raise awareness for this very serious problem." By Theresa Edwards Samaritan Place held a ceremony to observe its 14th anniversary of helping Knoxville seniors and to raise awareness of elder abuse during National Elder Abuse Prevention Month of June. Samaritan Place is a unique service for people age 55 and over, provided by Catholic Charities of East Tennessee Inc.

"There are fewer than 15 programs like this all over the U.S.," said Freddi Birdwell. Fewer than 5 percent of those served are Catholics. "We serve the whole community. We are there for anybody who needs us," said Birdwell. They also help seniors by connecting them with other local agencies to provide assistance.
