Chris Ham- mond, health science teacher at Central High School and local historian in his spare time, has researched the schoolhouse and compiled a seven-page document on the little building known as Carpenter School. “I’ve always been curious about local history, especially the Tree- ville area,” says Hammond. “I grew up on Cate Road, which was part of that community. When driving on the different roads, I’d often wonder how they got their names and what the areas looked like 100 to 200 years ago. “Not much is known about the first schoolhouse building, al- though the surviving photographs suggest that it was a wooden slab structure with two large rooms, a small covered porch, and a belfry with a school bell. It was most like- ly heated with a pot-bellied stove in the winter and had an outhouse for a restroom – common features of early 20th-century schools.” The land was deeded in 1889, and a one-story brick building re- placed the first structure in 1931.

Carpenter owned a large tract of land near present-day Yount Road. Hammond also discovered information about a Major Dan- iel A.

Carpenter in the history of the Beaver Ridge Masonic Lodge originally located two miles from the school. Although it is believed these two Daniel A. Carpenters are one and the same, Hammond says it is merely speculation that a school would be named in his honor, giv- en his elevated status within the community. A handful of longtime Karns- area residents and onetime Car- penter School students shared with Hammond what they remem- ber of their time in the two-room school building. By Betty Bean Despite a lifelong case of wan- derlust, R.B. Morris has a tight connection to his hometown. He has sung about it, analyzed it, helped found a park in it, celebrat- ed and fled it. But no matter how far he flies, he always comes back, and he’s probably halfway seri- ous when he calls Knoxville “the Bermuda Triangle of the Appa- lachians.” Family, friends and an innate sense of place create bonds that stretch but never break. If anyone was surprised when Mayor Madeline Rogero and the Arts & Culture Alliance named Morris Knoxville’s first poet lau- reate, nobody has said so. Maybe Rogero’s quoting a verse from “Then There Is a City” (a song from his album “Spies Lies and Burning Eyes”) in her inaugural address was a hint. As photographer Bill Foster put it, Morris’ selection was “the most obvious slam-dunk deci- sion in the history of obviousness.” Richard Bruce Morris is a poet, a playwright, a singer and a some- time actor who wrote his first song (about his dog, Dixie) when he was in the fourth or fifth grade at Alice Bell Elementary School. He grad- uated from Holston High School and spent a year at the University of Tennessee before his itchy feet took him away. “I just bailed for the high and wide,” he said. “I took off traveling around the country, wanting to get an advanced education.” It’s hard to keep up with his youthful ramblings, but one of his first artistic partnerships was with Jimmy Rector (son of famed man- dolin player Red Rector). They started playing old-timey music up in the hills of Cocke County. After a while, he came back to town and joined a burgeoning mu- sic scene where musicians, singers and songwriters were honing their licks and finding their identities.

I was kinda flushing myself out of everything – ended relationships with girlfriends and close friends – stopping the world as best I could. That’s when I did my hermit year, living up on Round Mountain up an old gravel road. I was probably the last man in Tennessee.” When he came down from the mountain, he headed west and spent spring 1981 in San Fran- cisco, meeting Beat Generation survivors like Gerald Corso, Law- rence Ferlinghetti and William Burroughs, plus Jack Kerouac biographer Gerald Nicosia, with whom he corresponded after he returned to Knoxville, deter- mined to create something of his striking out in many directions. “It was a pretty rich scene,” Mor- ris remembered. “Kind of a mov- able feast.” His influence was Bob Dylan (naturally), with John Prine and Bruce Springsteen entering his consciousness a little later.

By Sara BarrettAbout 70 years before the

Karns community was founded, a small wooden schoolhouse was erected near the current intersec-tion of Carpenter and Emory roads.

Chris Ham-mond, health science teacher at Central High School and local

historian in his spare time, has researched the schoolhouse and compiled a seven-page document on the little building known as Carpenter School.

“I’ve always been curious about local history, especially the Tree-ville area,” says Hammond. “I grew up on Cate Road, which was part of that community. When driving on the different roads, I’d often wonder how they got their names and what the areas looked like 100 to 200 years ago.

“Not much is known about the fi rst schoolhouse building, al-though the surviving photographs suggest that it was a wooden slab structure with two large rooms, a small covered porch, and a belfry with a school bell. It was most like-ly heated with a pot-bellied stove in the winter and had an outhouse for a restroom – common features of early 20th-century schools.”

The land was deeded in 1889, and a one-story brick building re-placed the fi rst structure in 1931.

Remembering Carpenter School

Hammond

Although no one is certain for whom the school was named, pub-lic records show a D. Carpenter owned a large tract of land near present-day Yount Road.

Hammond also discovered information about a Major Dan-iel A. Carpenter who served in the Union Army during the Civil War and lived in the area when

the school was built, and a Dan-iel A. Carpenter in the history of the Beaver Ridge Masonic Lodge originally located two miles from the school.

Although it is believed these two Daniel A. Carpenters are one and the same, Hammond says it is merely speculation that a school would be named in his honor, giv-

en his elevated status within the community.

A handful of longtime Karns-area residents and onetime Car-penter School students shared with Hammond what they remem-ber of their time in the two-room school building.

By Betty BeanDespite a lifelong case of wan-

derlust, R.B. Morris has a tight connection to his hometown. He has sung about it, analyzed it, helped found a park in it, celebrat-ed and fl ed it. But no matter how far he fl ies, he always comes back, and he’s probably halfway seri-ous when he calls Knoxville “the Bermuda Triangle of the Appa-lachians.” Family, friends and an innate sense of place create bonds that stretch but never break.

By Carolyn EvansFarragut friends Sandy

Presley and Janet Massie met when they lived on the same street in Village Green subdivision. Today, between them, they have six grown children.

Now the two friends are knocking down walls, hir-ing plumbers and contrac-tors and venturing into the world of fl ipping houses.

“We tackled many proj-ects over the years, begin-ning with putting a foun-tain in my front yard,” says Presley. “I’ve always wanted to fl ip houses and fi nally de-cided we had better try it af-ter transforming my house way too many times.”

They looked at several possibilities and tried to buy two, but the deals fell through. Then they heard about one through the grapevine, looked at it be-fore it hit the market and made an offer. They took it. “This little two-bedroom, one-bath house seemed manageable for us to start on,” says Presley.

The house is in Inskip and is “a mid-century mod-ern, going back to the look

of the 1950s,” says Presley. They closed on a Thursday afternoon and were pre-pared to get started the next morning. Massie would be in charge of construction, since she had become famil-iar with tools in her furni-ture-repurposing business. She had already lined up a licensed electrician, plumb-er and general handyman, and everyone showed up bright and early.

Everything came to a stop a couple of hours later. The friends found out that the house was in the city limits, and their contractors were only licensed through the county. Back to square one.

The beginning has been the only drama to date, says Massie, because they were able to fi nd the right people. “I interviewed three or four a day at the beginning,” she says. “My plumber, Dennis Ottinger, and my general contractor, Mike Reynolds, have been lifesavers. I could not have pulled this off if I hadn’t had the right con-tractors.”

The women have made just “decorating chang-

aration for a new fl oor in the house she and longtime friend

Janet Massie are redoing this summer.

Farragut moms are ‘in for the fl ip’

es” but have drastically changed the interior, tear-ing down walls and putting up new ones to create more open spaces and a laundry room, for example. They are now working on resurfacing the old wooden cabinets and will bring in a reconditioned sink and new countertops.

Presley’s leadership duty is making decorating and painting decisions and buy-ing hardware such as light fi xtures. Both are hands-on workers.

“It works out well,” Mass-ie says. “We each are happy

in our roles.”The women are relieved

their fi rst project hasn’t been as drama-fi lled as many they have watched on TV. They are on target and on budget to have a sign in the yard by the end of sum-mer.

Presley did get a Face-book shock when Massie posted that she had knocked down a wall, but it was all good.

“I wanted to surprise her,” says Massie. “We thought the wall couldn’t be removed, but I have

been watching HGTV for 10 years, and the biggest thing I learned was how to

knock a wall down. I had it done and cleaned up in two hours.”

It’s that time of year again – time for pageant hopefuls to walk the stage at Karns High School to determine who will be the Karns Com-munity Fairest of the Fair.

Pageant director Chris-tina Hancock announced via Facebook that in addition to crowns, sashes and goody bags, there will be cash priz-es for each category winner at the July 16 pageant.

Also new this year, con-testants no longer have to live in the Karns or Knox-ville area. However, all win-ners are required to partici-pate in the Karns Parade as well as the Karns Commu-nity Fair the following Sat-urday, July 23.

The registration fee is $25. Contestants may register at the door, but preregistration is strongly encouraged.

For kids whose idea of summer fun involves more biology than biking and more science than swim-ming, Two Blues STEM Camp seems to be just the ticket to fun and fascination.

The annual summer camp, a collaboration between Har-din Valley Academy and Farragut High School, drew a record-breaking 90 kids from second through seventh

grade for a week of super-fun hands-on experiments geared toward keeping kids’ minds sharp and awaking their inner scientist.

While focus and organi-zation stay the same, each summer brings all-new and exciting age-appropriate activities designed by the faculty to teach fundamen-tals of science, technol-ogy, engineering, math and

Carpenter School From page A-1

Nancy Anderson

A cloakroom was just inside the front entrance, and students would leave their coats and sack lunches there. Grades one through six attended. There was prayer time, and a man from a Children’s Bible Mis-sion in Elizabethton would visit periodically to teach students Bible stories and verses.

Hammond is compil-ing a display of Carpenter School mementos for the Knox County Museum of Education.

“As a public school teacher myself, I consider the old, small, community schools like Carpenter to be a part of the heritage of my profession.

“Many people have a skewed image of public education that is often only shaped by today’s version

of it. … I believe that there is still value in the old way of doing things and lessons that we can learn from it.

“It was really a commu-nity effort. People would literally donate their land, services and time to help build the buildings and make these schools pos-sible. I wish we still had that sense of community today because that is what com-munity really is all about, serving one another and trying to leave it better off than the way you found it.”

Carpenter School closed in the 1950s when its stu-dents registered at Karns School. It was later demol-ished in the ’60s, although a tree line original to the school grounds and part of a well spigot can still be seen on the property.

Who’s the fairest of them all?

The school doors open at 6 p.m.; admission is $5.

The master of ceremo-nies will be Frank Murphy of WNOX.

Hancock said she is look-ing for entertainment as well to make 2016 the best Fairest of the Fair Pageant yet.

own. That’s when he hooked up with painter Eric Sublett and started the Hard Knox-ville Review.

“We were just all about that literature thing and the art thing,” he said. “And the Artists’ Colony, after the World’s Fair.” He married (and later divorced) during this period; he has a 27-year-old daughter, Frances Johan-na, who is an art therapist and lives in Oregon.

Morris began to be pub-lished internationally and hit the road with guitarist Hector Qirko. He partici-pated in a seminal writers conference on Kerouac in Colorado and made trips to New York and Quebec to meet with writers he’d got-ten to know along the way.

In the ’90s, he started

commuting to Nashville and signed a contract and made an album with John Prine’s Oh Boy Records. The title single from “Take That Ride” (named for the road to Nashville taken by so many Knoxville-area musicians) made prestigious lists of top 10 releases of 1997. He also recorded for a New York la-bel, Koch, and the resulting album, “Zeke & the Wheel,” was nominated for an Amer-icana Award. He had poems choreographed for modern dance and wrote (and played the leading role in) the fi rst iteration of a play about James Agee, “The Man Who Lives Here Is Loony.” He was UT’s writer in residence 2004-2008 and in 2009 was inducted into the East Ten-nessee Writers Hall of Fame.

in 1925. His mother, Eliza-beth, whom he visited in Knoxville each year, feared that enemies would try to kill him.

Anderson adopted a fear-less style and an obsession for uncovering exploitation of the weak that investiga-tive reporters still copy to-day. In his book “Reporting from Washington, the His-

health sciences.“We had more kids than

ever before this year,” said STEM Camp dean Debbie Sayers. “But we were pre-pared and organized. A cou-ple of demos didn’t work out quite right, but I think it’s good for students to see that and understand that your experiments may not work out the fi rst time. You have to go back and make adjust-ments, then try again.

“These are experiences the kids will probably never

forget.“That’s what experi-

Perhaps it’s that excite-ment and curiosity fostered by engaging lessons, pas-sionate teachers and en-thusiastic counselors that creates a great experience for the campers and keeps them coming back every summer and bringing their friends as well.

tory of the Washington Press Corps,” Donald Ritchie said Anderson infl uenced the re-porting of journalism giants.

Ganey believes Ander-son’s tenacious reporting was a result of his anger over early hardships.

Born in 1893, Anderson was the second of three sib-lings who lived to adulthood. Tragedy struck on Jan. 21,

1897, when a quarry derrick fell on his father at work, kill-ing him. Paul was only 3.

The family received no compensation and fell into poverty.

Ganey said the hardships affected Anderson all his life. “He told stories later about being happy if he got a banana at Christmastime. I believe he fought for the little guy because of the way he grew up.”

The last time I visited Wolfville, Nova Scotia, was 1976, on the way home from the Montreal Olympics. I went to Acadia University to see the basketball trophies and treasures coach Stu Ab-erdeen had accumulated.

The Canadians thought I was big-time. They received me graciously, but the fi rst two I asked didn’t recognize the Aberdeen name.

When I found the admin-istrator who knew whom and what I was talking about, he seemed embar-rassed to say there were no statues or monuments carved in stone. There were some leftover plaques and a few pictures, but he didn’t know where they were. Maybe in a closet.

His explanation: “He has

Stu Aberdeen story lives again

been gone 10 years.”Did I suffer disillusion-

ment? Well, the story line changed, but I understood that Acadia was not UCLA and Aberdeen wasn’t John Wooden. All young Stu did was lead the Axemen to six conference championships, fi ve Maritime titles, a na-tional crown and an overall 122-50 record. He won the coach-of-the-year trophy so many times, they eventually named it for him.

Stu came to Tennessee as

part of a package with 6-10 Canadian Bobby Croft. Ray Mears would have taken either separately, but they were better together.

Aberdeen did many other things for Mears, including transform Tom Boerwinkle and capture the attention of referees. Stu could slap the Tartan playing fl oor with his clipboard and cause refs to think they might have been shot.

Stu distracted Adolph Rupp. The great Kentucky coach dubbed him “The Fieldhouse Mouse” and tried to keep the big little man under constant sur-veillance.

Many years after my visit to Wolfville, I realized that the Volunteers treated the memory of Stu Aberdeen

much as Acadia had. Ten-nessee celebrated the Ernie and Bernie show without a second thought of how those New York prep stars got to Knoxville to become all-time greats.

The recruitment of Ernie Grunfeld and Bernard King was a legendary accom-plishment. Work and more work were the key words. Tireless determination was relevant. In one case, the brilliant interpretation of a coffee stain on the great book of high school tran-scripts proved pivotal.

I never believed Ab-erdeen cheated. I always thought the simple expla-nation for the two miracles was his refusal to go away.

The second stay created a crisis for Bob Woodruff, Tennessee athletic director. Stu handed in an expense account almost two months late. Normally, Bob looked

at numbers and entered a period of meditation. This time there was a loud ex-clamation: “Fifty-two con-secutive days in New York City!”

It was not a question.Mears had signed off on

Stu’s expenses and had ini-tialed beginning and end dates. Ray called it tena-cious recruiting coupled with frugality. When Stu ran out of money, he had moved in with friends and borrowed a car.

“Tenacious” and “frugal-ity” were not common in Woodruff’s vocabulary. He repeated them carefully. Mears just stood there, awaiting an explosion. It never came.

Later, there was an earthquake. Not yet aware of King’s terrifi c talent, what a great thing Aberdeen had done, Woodruff reduced the basketball recruiting bud-

get for the next year so there would be no more months in New York.

After Aberdeen’s death (heart attack, June 11, 1979), Acadia staged a four-team holiday tournament in his memory. It did not fl our-ish. Acadia tried it as a pre-season project. It eventually expired.

I called from time to time to ask about it. I was told it might be coming back. It is.

The Stu Aberdeen Me-morial Basketball Tourna-ment will be Sept. 30-Oct. 2, hopefully before the fi rst snow. Inspiration and mo-tivation was a large dona-tion from a former player to launch arena renovation. Acadia will name the play-ing fl oor in Stu’s memory.

Several Aberdeens will participate in the ceremony. Thought you’d like to know.Marvin West invites reader reaction. His

Nick Della Volpe has created a survey to gain public opinion on ways to improve the business community

in North/East Knoxville.He wants to organize an economic

summit this fall to “focus positive en-ergy on our broader east side commu-nity.”

Della Volpe is now seeking informa-tion from a survey he’s posted online.

He says: “The survey results will help us plan the upcoming economic roundtable or summit to be held this fall. Stay tuned; we’ll likely have a few

planning and preliminary meetings once we get a bet-ter handle. Let’s join together and become a catalyst for positive change in our area.”

I’m not a feminist, but …

Sandra Clark

Times were tough when Patricia Head came to Knoxville in 1974 to teach physical education, train for the 1976 Olympics and work on her master’s degree at the University of Tennessee.

At just 22, she was asked to coach the women’s bas-ketball team – a job she left 38 years later when driven to retirement by early-onset Alzheimer’s. She never had a losing season and won eight national champion-ships.

Even more remarkable was her personal transfor-mation from Trish Head to Pat Summitt.

But think back to 1974. Richard Nixon resigned

the presidency on Aug. 9. Muhammad Ali knocked out George Foreman in the Rumble in the Jungle in Zaire on Oct. 30.

Pocket calculators had just come into use, and no-

body had heard of a person-al computer. With oil prices soaring and a global reces-sion underway, politicians were wrestling with fallout from the previous year’s Roe v. Wade decision.

Gerald Ford kept tripping over things, including his pardon of Richard Nixon and his amnesty for draft dodgers.

In this context, Patri-cia Head earned $250 per month … and she had to drive the team van and wash the uniforms.

Until Dave Hart dis-mantled it, Pat and her ADs, Nancy Lay, Gloria Ray and

Joan Cronan, built an or-ganizational juggernaut. Not only did Pat assemble outstanding players and assistant coaches, but she also put together a team of trainers and managers, and public-relations and fund-raising whizzes.

And, most remarkably, these women achieved great things, but they were not feminists.

If you don’t believe that, all you had to do was ask.

A friend’s daughter went to one of Pat’s camps at age 12. This was a camp for kids who would never make the high school team, much less play in college. Yet the kid came home glowing after each session.

Pat motivated these girls to believe in their ability to set goals and reach them through hard work. Pat told them they might not be the most talented player on the

court, but they could be the most competitive.

She told players when their shots weren’t falling to double down on defense and rebounding.

She left a legacy of excel-lence that inspires each of us. And that’s why a dusty orange gloom has settled over Knoxville during the past weeks. Pat is gone.

Red, white and ...Erma Bombeck wrote:

“You have to love a nation that celebrates its indepen-dence every July 4th, not with a parade of guns, tanks and soldiers who fi le by the White House in a show of strength and muscle, but with family picnics where kids throw Frisbees, the po-tato salad gets iffy, and the fl ies die from happiness.

“You may think you have overeaten, but it is patrio-tism.”

Chris Barber looks even younger than his 26 years. Let’s see what he looks like in November after spending most of the year managing Knox County Democratic candidates’ campaigns.

Barber got his degree in political science from the

Universit y of Tennes-see in 2013, is from the Middle Ten-nessee town of Waverly and came here in 2008 to go to school.

His mom came with him – he says they wanted a change from the 40-acre farm where he’d grown up – and now she has a job as a computer engineer in Oak Ridge. Barber loves Knox-ville and is proud of the ways it has changed since he’s been here.

State Rep. Roger Kane, longtime champion of the Lady Vols, says that “restor-ing the name of the Lady Vols to women’s sports at UT would be a wonderful way to honor the memory of Pat Summitt,” who passed away last week.

Kane, along with many others, believes that Athlet-ic Director Dave Hart would never have touched the Lady Vols name had Pat Sum-mitt been able to articulate her views against it prior to the onset of her illness.

People will be watch-ing at the July 14 service for Summitt at Thompson-Boling Arena to see if this topic is mentioned and, if so, how. Restoring the Lady Vols name would be a last-ing honor for Summitt.

■ The four contend-ers for the Republican nomination for the West Knoxville state House seat now held by Martin Daniel will debate at a forum 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, July 12, sponsored by the League of Women Voters outside District 18 at the East Ten-nessee History Center, 601 S. Gay St. The public is in-vited.

In addition to Daniel, candidates include James Corcoran, Bryan Dodson and former state Rep. Steve Hall. Hall has distributed several attack pieces on Daniel while Corcoran has promoted his support of Gov. Haslam’s Insure Ten-nessee proposals. He is the only candidate openly for it. Hall is opposed, while Dan-iel supports a more cost-effective plan. Hall’s recent mailer misspelled Gov. Haslam’s name.

Daniel has renewed his

UT Trustees should rethink pay policy

backing for open-records access to the public without fees, changing the state ed-ucation funding formula to assist urban counties like Knox, and funding for May-or Burchett’s building proj-ect for short-term housing of mentally ill offenders.

■ Expect the federal indictment of state Rep. Joe Armstrong to go to trial on Aug. 2 as scheduled, just two days prior to the Demo-cratic primary on Aug. 4. The trial should last a week. It does not appear that a settlement or plea bargain is possible, so a jury will decide guilt or innocence.

Armstrong is a candidate for re-election. He faces Pete Drew, an independent, in November. No Republican is running. If Armstrong is convicted, he is not barred from seeking another term, but it is unlikely the House would seat a convicted fel-on, which would force a spe-cial election to fi ll the seat.

Retired federal Judge Tom Phillips is presiding over the case.

■ My column last week said that former Gov. Phil Bredesen voted on the los-ing side of the DiPietro-Noland contest for UT president in 2010. This was in error as Bredesen was ab-sent from the meeting and did not vote.

It is true that the Board of Trustees split 11-10 between the two men.

In 2004, Bredesen had attended the board meeting at which John Petersen was elected over John Peters, and he voted for the losing candidate, Peters, at that time. Petersen was ultimate-ly forced out as president.

■ UT Chancellor Jimmy Cheek will return to a tenured faculty posi-tion sometime next year. His new salary will be 75 percent of his current sal-ary. This comes out to roughly $330,000 a year as a professor as his current chancellor’s salary is in the $440,000 a year range.

UT has a policy that al-lows any tenured faculty member who moves to an administrative post to re-turn to their prior post at a pay grade that is 75 percent of their administrative sal-ary. This always results in a signifi cantly large bump in pay from their prior tenured pay.

■ Provost Susan Mar-tin, who leaves as provost Aug. 1, will receive a gener-ous increase as well as her current salary is $327,000. It will fall back to roughly $246,000 in three weeks.

It seems to me that this policy should be reviewed by the Board of Trustees for future situations. The new positions Martin and Cheek are assuming are clearly less stressful and time-consuming than their current positions. A salary more consistent with what other professors in the same fi eld are making, taking into account the individual levels of expertise and the new workload (hours spent teaching or researching), should govern the pay as opposed to an automatic 75

percent of current salary.This is an expensive pol-

icy for tax- and tuition-pay-ers. It also happens when a dean or interim president returns to the faculty.

■ City Council mem-ber Marshall Stair turned 38 on June 30. He is the youngest Knoxville council member.

U.S. District Court Judge Tom Varlan turns 60 on July 8, while U.S. Rep. John Duncan turns 69 on July 21, and federal Judge Pam Reeves turns 62 the same day. Happy birthday to all.

■ Barbara Kelly, long-time director of CAC and previously top aide to L.T. Ross of CAC, completes 50 years of service to CAC this year.

The L.T. Ross Building on Western Avenue is under-going a major and needed facelift with the leadership of Kelly and active assis-tance of city director David Brace and city forester Kas-ey Krouse.

■ The sign that never was (namely the one in-dicating the Knox-Blount green way along the river) is going up this week, accord-ing to an email from city public works director David Brace to council member Nick Pavlis, who represents South Knoxville. While the greenway was formally opened by the mayor in De-cember, the city failed to erect a sign to it for eight months.

Only direct intervention from Pavlis got it done.

Pavlis is seen as a “go-to person” on the council to get results. Brace is also a very diligent and effective city director who can act while others fail the test.

Future growth in Knox CountyLessons learned from the

transformation of downtown can be applied to the county

By Marleen Kay DavisExperts predict that

Knox County will ex-perience a 30 percent

population increase by 2040. Will we have 30 per-cent more sprawl? 30 percent more traf-fi c? How do we plan

to address such growth in the next 25 years? Can we retain our existing high quality of life?

Decisions we make today will affect our quality of life for decades. We need 21st-century ideas that give us the fl exibility to create diverse neighborhoods, vi-brant commercial districts, attractive parks and safe streets, while preserving green space. Residents, businesses and investors should be involved in an open process to guide this change.

We should overhaul outdated 20th-century ap-proaches to planning and growth, with single-use zoning and an inconsis-tent “variance” process. For example, we need to have genuine “mixed-use” neighborhood centers with residential and com-mercial uses in walkable districts.

Right now, a building with commercial below and residential above isn’t pos-sible in our zoning codes, except in special districts, such as downtown.

Currently, the City Coun-cil is considering a mixed-use concept for Bearden Village. This could be a model for future develop-ment of compact, walkable neighborhood centers, while preserving traditional residential zones and green spaces.

Since 1994, I have been one of many involved in efforts to revitalize down-town. As a result, I know how property owners, busi-nesses and local govern-ment can collaborate in a process for positive change. Efforts for change are slow and complex and involve many stakeholders, with much at stake.

Silver bullets don’t exist. Decades later, we appreci-ate the dramatic transfor-mation of the downtown.

As a county commis-sioner, I could apply my collaborative experience

with the downtown in helping the county address future growth, especially in the Fourth District. We should engage concerned stakeholders in a trans-parent public process to develop new guidelines that provide predictability and fl exibility.

Some strategies for 21st-century quality growth that we should consider are:

■ Diversify residential choices for young people, families, empty nesters and retirees. (We need many options: single-fam-ily homes, condos, apart-ments, mixed-use residen-tial buildings in walkable neighborhood centers, residential communities with amenities and subdivi-sions.)

■ Develop walkable neighborhood centers, with residential units. Imagine living in an area where you park once at your residence and then walk to stores, restaurants and other ame-nities. Traffi c is reduced.

■ Cluster walkable commercial development and preserve green areas, rather than allowing ran-dom commercial expansion along roads.

■ Provide safe streets, with appropriate widths.

■ Increase the numbers of sidewalks and cross-walks, especially at com-mercial areas and schools.

■ Expand the county’s parks and greenways, with connectivity for biking.

■ Preserve the scenic character of Knox County’s landscapes.

■ Explore imaginative transportation options.

■ Consider innovative planning processes, result-ing in “overlay districts,” new zoning defi nitions and other fl exible strategies.

In my work over the past 20 years with downtown Knoxville, I have seen fi rst-hand how the public and private sectors can work together to guide change.

This is a slow process, but it takes imagination, patience and respect for the concerns of all stakeholders to work together to achieve positive change.

Marleen Davis is the Democratic candidate for Knox County Commission, District 4. She is an ACSA Distinguished Professor of Architecture at the Univer-sity of Tennessee. The Re-publican nominee is Hugh Nystrom.

‘Building capacity,’ says Barber

home,” he said.For now, he’s focusing on

three County Commission races – District 1, 2 and 4 – where Evelyn Gill, Laura Kildare and Marleen Davis are facing off against Re-publican opponents. After that, he’ll move to the 13th District state House race where Gloria Johnson is trying to win back the seat she lost in 2014 to Republi-can Eddie Smith.

The Knox County Demo-cratic Party and the Tennes-see Democratic Party are going halfsies on Barber’s $3,200 per month salary. His staff consists of four in-terns and a cadre of volun-teers.

Barber worked as a bar-tender or server at several downtown eateries for a

couple of years, and then he traveled to Alaska, where he spent a month and all his money. He was work-ing for a lawn-care service when Knox County Demo-cratic Party chair Cameron Brooks offered him a job helping Marleen Davis.

He jumped at the chance to work in his preferred fi eld for a highly qualifi ed candi-date (Davis is a former dean of UT’s College of Architec-ture).

He says one of his biggest challenges has been learn-ing to deal with “the politics within the politics.”

He’s working full-time and then some, and he ends his days with a conference call to Nashville to report the number of doors he’s hit. He says his mission is to build a stronger base for his party, and he believes that boosting awareness of local races – or “building capac-ity” – will serve Democrats well in the future.

He’s frustrated by the

tendency to treat local races as popularity contests in-stead of opportunities to ex-amine the qualifi cations of competing candidates and fi rmly believes that his side would win that comparison.

An idealist who sports a Remote Area Medical bracelet among a rainbow of other arm wear, Barber is a Bernie Sanders suppor ter (but not a Bernie-or-Bust guy), and he attributes the age divide among Demo-crats to the changing times.

“I didn’t grow up during the Cold War, so I don’t fear socialism,” he said. “But I’ve seen what unbridled capitalism does. In my view, (the lack of) economic op-portunity is the driving is-sue.”

He’s working to get Sand-ers voters motivated to turn out in August, when Sand-ers won’t be on the ballot. This could be crucial in the fi rst and second districts.

“I frame it as a matter of responsibility,” Barber said.

Cooking instructor Terri Geiser recently hosted a live cooking show at the Halls Senior Cen-ter. The event, called Cooking Wiser with Terri Geiser, walked guests through an en-tire dinner menu with step-by-step instruc-tions and recipes.

The menu consisted of caprese salad with basil and balsamic reduction, cheese-and-herb-stuffed pork loin and rosemary roasted new potatoes, and strawberries with mint topped off pound cake for dessert.

During the preparation of the meal, Geiser ex-

plained the process and also discussed the importance of using fresh herbs. The fi nished prod-uct looked (and

tasted) like it was diffi cult to create,

but Geiser’s step-by-step instructions had even the most not-so-gourmet cook saying, “I think I can do that.”

On that day, says the Lord of hosts, the peg that was fastened in a secure place will give way; it will be cut down and fall, and the load that was on it will perish, for the Lord has spoken.

(Isaiah 22: 25 NRSV)

Recently, I was privileged to stand on hallowed ground. We were in Oklahoma City, visiting my daughter Eden. On Sunday, we went to church with her, lunched, then went to the site of the Oklahoma City bombing.

I confess that, with all the other horrors that have happened in our country since that day, the memories of that particular event had faded in my mind. But standing there on a beautiful afternoon, in the midst of a large city, the quiet and surprising peacefulness were healing. The scenes came fl ooding back; my most vivid memory of that day was seeing a fi refi ghter on live television carrying a dead baby in his arms – a casualty from the daycare center – tears on his face, horror in his eyes.

The footprint of what had been a large building is now a shallow refl ecting pool. Beside it stands a large elm tree that somehow survived the holocaust of the bombing. On the other side of the pool there are con-crete chairs that represent the persons who died. Each one has a name engraved on it; they are placed in lines to represent what fl oor they were on when the building crashed to the ground.

Every one of those deaths was a peculiar atrocity: a singular, personal, unnecessary tragedy. My heart aches for the dead, and for the survivors, who carry the scars forever.

I am pleased to discover that I do not remember the bomber’s name.

I want to remember neither him, nor his name!

On hallowed ground

By Nancy AndersonMore than 250 youths

and young adults from across the nation, some from as far away as Nebras-ka, recently gathered at All Saints Catholic Church for a week of hard work serving Knoxville’s most vulnerable citizens.

The weeklong missions event, now in its ninth year at All Saints Catholic Church, was sponsored by Catholic Heart Workcamp (CHWC), a 13,000-member service ministry serving more than 50 different cit-ies across the nation.

Catholic youth groups spend a year raising funds to cover travel and lodg-ing expenses to accept the CHWC challenge of joining local youths to help com-plete more than 35 projects through partnership with local social agencies such as the CAC Offi ce on Aging and Operation Back Yard.

The groups worked four days, six to eight hours per day, in the hot sum-mer sun along with skilled adult Team Builders clear-ing brush, painting houses, building ramps, cleaning and completing minor home repairs.

In the evenings, the kids got to know one another, at-tended Mass, played music, performed skits and fi nally bunked down exhausted in sleeping bags and air mat-tresses fi lling the gym and

But the week wasn’t just about service and sacrifi ce for the kids; on the fi fth day, they played.

The groups loaded into church vans and buses and headed up the mountain to partake in all the Smokies have to offer – from hiking to rafting to Dollywood.

“It’s a life-changing expe-rience for the kids,” said An-nie Nassis, Knoxville CHWC manager at All Saints Cath-olic Church.

“The kids work hard with people they don’t know do-ing tasks they’ve never done before to help people they’ve never met.

“It takes them getting outside of their comfort zone to discover what they really can accomplish. I think they surprise them-selves.

“I almost feel like the people who are serving have equal or greater benefi t than those being served.

“The young people are spiritually renewed after Workcamp. They are be-ing Christ’s hands and feet serving those who need a little help.

“You know, really, it’s not just the kids. We all gain a new sense of hope, and we all get to experience God’s love in a new way.”

FAITH NOTES

By Carolyn Evans“Grandon” wore his clerical robe as he

delivered his inaugural sermon to First Farragut United Methodist Church on Sunday, July 3. The Rev. Don Thomas’ young grand-kids were visiting his new church that day, and they took his formal attire in stride. They knew that it wouldn’t be long until they were playing in the yard to-

gether.Thomas takes over the role as head pas-

tor at First Farragut, 12733 Kingston Pike, after serving for 10 years as senior pas-tor at Trinity United Methodist Church in Knoxville. The Holston Conference transfer moves Thomas to First Farragut as former pastor Amy Probst moves to Mafair United Methodist Church in Kingsport.

James Raxter, lay leader of the Trinity congregation that Thomas just left, says that Thomas’ “healing spirit” was exactly what the church needed 10 years ago.

“Don enabled us to regain our strength

and manage our own successes and failures as a congregation,” says Raxter. “Because we are United Methodists, pastors come and go, but we, the congregation, remain. Without Don’s healing ways and spiritual guidance, we would not be prepared for what God has in store for our future.”

Thomas is a Marion, Va., native and says he knew he was called to the ministry as a junior in high school. After graduation he went to Tennessee Wesleyan College as a religious-studies major. At 20, while still a student, he became a modern-day circuit-riding preacher in McMinn County. He met his wife, Anna, at college, and they now have two grown children and two grand-children.

In his spare time he enjoys a smorgas-bord of activities.

“I enjoy photography, and the cultivation of cactuses and succulents, reading and chasing the grandkids around,” he says. “I like being with people, church activities and being involved in community minis-tries. It was a wonderful, fulfi lling ministry at Trinity, and I’m looking forward to more of the same at First Farragut.”

There are seven Rotary clubs in Knox County, and there are three “Rotaract” clubs –Knoxville Community Rotaract Club and UT Rotaract Club, and Pellissippi State Community College is in the process of restarting its Rotaract club.

What is Rotaract? It is a Rotary-backed club for young adults age 18-30 that meets twice a month to exchange ideas, network, focus on professional development, work on hands-on projects and, in the spirit of Rotary, make our community and world a better place. While Rotary clubs serve as sponsors, Rotaract clubs decide how to organize and run their clubs and what projects to carry out.

Leon Barkley is beginning his second term as presi-dent of the Knoxville Community club. The club meets at 5:45 p.m. on the fi rst and third Tuesday of each month at Brixx Pizza near West Town Mall. Barkley is the enterprise resource planning support lead at Radio Systems Corp. The other offi cers are vice president Cate Bolden, an opera singer and adjunct pro-fessor in the voice departments at Carson-Newman University and Pellis-

sippi State Community College; secretary Rachel Del-linger, director of communications for the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra; and treasurer Jordan Knight, manager of the Bearden branch of US Bank.

The club is sponsored by the Rotary Club of Knox-ville, and Ed Anderson has served as the liaison to the Rotaract club. Jim Decker, CEO of Medic Blood Servic-

es, will be the adviser for 2016-17.“Right now we have 10 members, and we’re looking

for young professionals who want to give back to our community, enjoy professional development programs and do some networking,” Barkley said.

The club recently partnered with the Bearden Beer Market and raised $1,200 for The Love Kitchen.

If you are interested in joining or would like more in-formation about Knoxville Rotaract, contact Barkley at 865-740-1611 or [email protected].

■ Parade timeThe Rotary Club of Turkey Creek-Sunset didn’t cancel

its Fourth of July week meeting. It just moved it from July 5 back a day to July 4 to participate in the 29th an-nual Town of Farragut Independence Day parade. Club members walked the parade route and passed out hand

fans with the club’s name on each and also carried a banner with the Rotary Wheel and Club logo and corkboards naming the various projects the club has worked on and is working on. What a great way to spend the Fourth!

■ Ann LotspeichAnn Lotspeich, past president of the Rotary Club of

Turkey Creek and one of its founding members, passed away June 21 at her home in Powell. Lotspeich, 59, had recently retired from the human resources department at the Y-12 plant. She also was currently serving as the club’s secretary. Club members at the June 28 meeting celebrated her life and raised $200 to be given to the Rotary International annual fund in her name.

Most of the BMa staff brought a furry friend for the day, and each pet’s own-er created a resume for his or her canine. River Dog Bakery supplied swag bags for the pups featuring jars of peanut butter and other tempting treats.

We’ve got your back.

Ellen Harrison spent nearly

three years with her chin

on her chest as a result of

Dropped Head Syndrome.

The simple act of

looking into a cam-

era lens was some-

thing Ellen Harrison

couldn’t do before

surgical procedures

at Parkwest Medical

Center. Photos by Jim Harrison

Looking into each other’s

eyes was something Jim

and Ellen Harrison once

took for granted.

Dropped Head SyndromeHarrison fi nds hope

Ellen Harrison looked at her-self in the bathroom mirror. Her chin was involuntarily hanging down on her chest, and the rav-ages of breast cancer were still evident. After almost three years of trying to keep a positive atti-tude about not being able to hold her head up, and three years of searching for answers and help, she had fi nally reached a complete breaking point.

Harrison dissolved into tears, and sobbed. “I can’t stand this anymore,” she thought. “There has to be more to life than this.”

Today, sitting comfortably and radiant in her Clinton home, Har-rison tells the story of how she survived what now seems like a very long nightmare. The night-mare fi nally ended after proce-dures at Parkwest Medical Center last September.

Harrison woke up one morning three years ago and, without any warning, found that she couldn’t raise her head. “I thought I’d had a stroke,” Harrison says.

There seemed to be no other symptoms, though. Her husband told her it was probably just some sort of crick in her neck, and she went on about her business.

Harrison spent the entire day holding her head up with her hand so she could see what was in front of her. And the next day. And the next.

It soon became obvious that something was very wrong. Six months of physical therapy and three months under the care of a chiropractor didn’t help.

Neither did medication recom-mended by the friend of a friend who was said to be going through something similar. Harrison saw a neurologist and was given Botox injections, then was referred to a pain clinic.

When she was told she would have to visit a psychologist to be approved for more shots, she re-fused. “They didn’t discharge me,” Harrison says. “I got up and walked out.”

So the search continued as Harrison used one hand to hold her head up, and the other hand to do everything else from shopping and cooking, to bathing. Harri-son’s husband, Jim, even took her to Nashville for treatments. Still, there was no solution.

“I never was in much pain,” Harrison explains. “I just wanted somebody to tell me what was wrong, and help me get better.”

But no one could. Meanwhile,

the emotional pain was starting to overwhelm her.

Pushing a grocery cart with one hand while she held her head up with the other, she felt the cold stares of bystanders. Enduring the gawking and mocking hurt much worse than physical pain.

“People are so cruel,” she says. “I’d sit in my car and cry.”

After fi nally suffering her break down in front of the bathroom mirror at home, Harrison pulled herself together and visited her family physician, who recom-mended a consult with Parkwest orthopedic spine surgeon P. Mer-rill White, MD.

Having seen so many doctors and

therapists already, Harrison knew it couldn’t hurt to try one more. Her husband took her to Knoxville for the appointment, and it was a day that changed everything.

Within minutes of obtaining Ellen Harrison’s medical history and seeing her in the examining room, Dr. White knew exactly what was going on.

“You’ve got Dropped Head Syn-drome,” White said.

Jim and Ellen Harrison were a little stunned. Three years of searching, more than 100 injec-tions, the expertise of a wide va-riety of medical professionals, endless treatments, and then one surgeon in Knoxville was able to do what no one else had.

Dr. White had given it a name, and gave the Harrisons hope.

“Dropped Head Syndrome is most often a symptom of a degen-erative neurologic disease,” White explains. “Often the morbidity of the disease itself is such that we rarely have to deal with it.”

Certain muscles are supposed hold the neck and head back so we can see what’s in front of us. White says Dropped Head Syndrome happens when those muscles quit working. Since it’s not something doctors see on a regular basis, it’s not always easy to diagnose.

“It’s just not very common.” White says. “I’ve seen patients in the past diagnosed as being men-tally ill or even faking illness.”

The fi rst time White saw a case of Dropped Head Syndrome was about 25 years ago. Rather than disregard it, he had called neurol-ogist T. Darrell Thomas, MD, for help in identifying it.

White says he only sees two or

three cases in his offi ce per year.He takes each one very seriously.

“I felt like we’d found somebodywho wanted to help me,” Harrisonsays. “He really wanted to help!”

Dr. White sent Harrison toThomas for confi rmation the diag-nosis, and to see if anything couldbe done to help her before surgerywould be considered. Necessarytests were performed, and EllenHarrison was admitted to Park-west for two surgical procedures.

The difference was immedi-ately noticeable when she cameout of surgery. She will tell you therecovery wasn’t easy, but it wasworth it.

No longer does she have to workwith only one hand so the otherhand can support her head. Shecan see the world now, and she canliterally hold her head high whenshe goes out in public. There is nomore shame and embarrassmentover a condition that once ren-dered her helpless.

“And believe me, it’s a wonder-ful feeling, Harrison says.

“She’s as tough as the back wallof a shooting gallery,” her husbandquips. He says it’s not unusual forher to stay up until 2 or 3 a.m. bak-ing cakes again, something sheloves to do and is well known forin her community.

Harrison is determined tospread the word, and to spread themessage of hope to others who arestruggling for answers. “I want ev-eryone to know about this,” Har-rison says. “There is help!”

Surgery for Dropped Head Syndrome

The diff erence in Harrison’s neck and

head were noticeable immediately after

surgery.

Once the ability to hold your head upright disappears, and it’s been determined that it isn’t coming back, surgery is an op-tion that can restore quality of life. In the case of Ellen Harri-son, Parkwest spine surgeon P. Merrill White began by fi nding what position would be best for her head and neck.

“If you fi x someone’s head too high, then they can’t see their feet to tie their shoes or even walk,” he explains. “You have to strike a balance between being able to see straight ahead, and being able to see your feet.”

X-rays were obtained so Har-rison could tell the surgeon what position she was most comfortable in. “We duplicated that position in the operating room,” White says. “We then fused her skull and spine together, using bone grafts.”

“A metal plate and screw con-struct goes from her skull, spans her cervical spine, and hooks into her upper thoracic spine,” White says.

While Harrison can’t hold her head completely erect, it’s in a position where she can both see what’s in front of her, and see enough of the world below her to be safe and function well. She no lon-ger suffers from the so-cial stigma of not being able to look people in the face, and she can accom-plish most anything she needs to without using a hand to hold her head up.

“Life with a fused head and neck is not perfect by any stretch of the imagi-nation,” White says, “but it’s better than looking at your feet all the time.”

Even with some lim-ited mobility in her neck, Harrison is thrilled with the results of surgery be-cause her life is so much better than it was before. “If I had known about it earlier, I would have avoided a lot of heartaches,

headaches, and tears,” Har-rison says. “Honest to God, I would do it again, tomorrow.”

Maybe you or your loved one have noticed your hair is slowly slipping away, or maybe, you just want to look a bit younger.

The process to see if you are a candidate is simple. Visit our clinic for a free consultation with the physician and medical staff. An exam will be performed and based on those results, you will receive a recommendation of treatment. In as little as 8 weeks, you can have your own hair naturally re-growing.

Using your own blood, the licensed medical staff at Better Life Medical uses a machine to centrifuge your blood. In under 15 minutes, what is left is a Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP), that has amazing growth factors. The best part is after 2 treatments you will follow up with a maintenance treatment in 12 to 18 months. 95% of Women receiving the PRP have reported 75% Fuller, Thicker hair following treatment.
