By Betty BeanDonna Sherwood feels good

about standing up and telling the TVA board of directors how she feels about their tree cutting policies. Last week she spoke to the board about the agency’s aggressive policy, which mandates clear-cutting swaths up to 200 feet wide along high voltage easements.

Sherwood and a neighbor, Jerome Pinn, fi led suit against TVA in April after contractors came through Westminster Place subdivision and started marking more than 120 trees along the utility right of way for removal. She had moved to Westminster Place from States View subdivision six years ago after developers started cutting down trees and said the looming threat of losing her trees has caused her to move into a rental home. Now, she says she has had to move again.

Tim-berrrrComplaints about TVA’s

tree cutting go statewide

“We’re living in Plantation Springs now because we just don’t know what’s going to happen,” she said. “They’re going take two trees from every household and our afternoon shade will be gone.

“They’re even taking out saplings that were planted to replace mature trees that were at least 50 years old. This is going to happen all over TVA’s seven state area.”

As of last week, Sherwood and Pinn had been joined by nine more plaintiffs, and that number could grow in the coming weeks, based on the number of people from across the state who turned out for last week’s meeting. Many of them have been in contact with tree advocate Larry Silverstein, who has battled TVA and the Knoxville Utilities Board clear-cutting policies for years.

with Bill BolingerBill Bolinger is known as “Karns Mayor.” He says,

“They just joke around calling me that. I’m not really a mayor. It may be because we have lived here so long, and everybody knows me.”

His wife, Peggy, says her sister, Tammy Crone, may have been the fi rst one to call him “mayor.”

Granddaughter Sarah Bolinger Brooks says that it is because he is so involved in the community. He always participates in the Karns Fair, drives his John Deere trac-tor or antique car in community parades, is active with the Karns Community Center, farms with neighbors and is an active member at Grace Baptist Church. Plus, he loves Karns!

Bill was born in Madisonville then lived in Lake City. He moved to Karns at age 5 when his family’s place and others were fl ooded out when Norris Lake was built.

He and Peggy live in the same house his parents and grandparents lived in. Their two sons, Wayne and Von, live in homes behind theirs with their families.

Wayne and wife Sherry have two children, Sarah and Will. Will lives in Nashville and is married to Cali Crab-tree.

Von and wife Earlene have two children, Doug and Ashley. Ashley has a son, M.J.

“M.J. will be our fourth generation going to Karns (schools),” Peggy said.

The Bolingers had a dairy farm for many years until 1973, with about 20 to 25 cows. They also grew tobacco and corn.

Bill now grows hay. He owns 40 acres (formerly 93 acres), but he farms about 200 acres including farms of neighbors such as the Butlers and Connors. He stays busy, usually working from after breakfast until dark, stopping only for meals.

“He works like he’s 30, but he’s 75 years old,” Peggy said.

It is harvest season, and he does a lot of hay bailing including for others. One neighbor, the Carters, donates rolled hay to Horse Haven.

Sit and have a Coffee Break as you get to know Bill Bolinger:

What is your favorite quote from TV or a movie?I like cowboy (programs) like “Gunsmoke.” I can’t

think of a particular quote.

Coffee Break

It can be your neighbor, club leader, bridge partner, boss, father, teacher – anyone you think would be interesting to Halls/Fountain City Shopper-News readers. Email suggestions to Jake Mabe, [email protected]. Include contact info if you can.

What are you guilty of? Nothing. “Hard work,” son Wayne said. “He would work any 20

year old in the ground. He makes me tired just watching him.”

What is your favorite material possession? I like my John Deere tractor, and my red and white

1956 Ford. We don’t get to use the old car much, except we sometimes drive it in parades and places like that.

What are you reading currently?I like to read farm magazines. I’ve also been reading

Foxfi re books. The books are written by kids who talked with farmers and found out how they do things like kill-ing hogs, making moonshine, making hominy and all kinds of things.

What was your most embarrassing moment?I don’t know on that one.

What are the top three things on your bucket list?Hmmm … Get this hay up for one thing. And I have to

wash this house. Wayne explained what a bucket list is. Bill says he’s

done just about everything. He has travelled many places with his wife, Peggy.

What is one word others often use to describe you and why?

Hard-worker. His wife, Peggy, tells of how he works from sunup to sundown.

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

Nothing.

What is your passion?Farming, but I like to fi sh too, when I get a chance.

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

My grandfather. I never did really get to know him because he died in 1936, the year I was born.

Other than your parents, who has had the biggest infl uence

on your life and why? I have a friend down the

road, Lester Gann, who has a lot of infl uence on me. I like him real well.

I still can’t quite get the hang of…

Technology, computers.

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

My grandfather gave me 1936 silver dollars, the year I was born, that I still have.

What is the best advice your mother ever gave you? She taught me the importance of family. When she

had a get-together, you better be there.

What is your social media of choice? Hardees. A lot of us meet for breakfast. We used to

meet at the Simms Market.

What is the worst job you have ever had? Working around that mud in the winter time was

hard, trying to milk those cows, wading around in that mud. Man, it was awful; you could lose a boot in that mud.

What was your favorite Saturday morning cartoon and why?

I normally didn’t have much time to watch cartoons. I watched the Roadrunner and Wyle E. Coyote. I liked the Roadrunner because he was so fast.

What irritates you?When things don’t work, I get irritated; when things

get torn up just when it’s a bad time for that to happen.

What’s one place in Karns or Hardin Valley everyone should visit?

It used to be Roger Yarnell’s barber shop. I went to school with him, and we ran around together. He’s retired now.

What is your greatest fear?Yellow jackets. I was weed-eating the other day and

got into a nest. I got stung two or three times before I could get away from them.

If you could do one impulsive thing, what would it be? I would like to travel more right here in Tennessee.

There’s so much in Tennessee I’ve never seen, like to tour Memphis. One thing we’ve wanted to go to for a long time is Mule Day in Columbia, Tenn. It lasts about fi ve days.

the event which brings a half million viewers is marking its 25th anni-versary this year.

A two-week horse-shoe con-v e n t i o n with 1,200

visitors just wrapped up. Bumpas said Mayor Mad-eline Rogero has a better “pitch” than she does. Both were on hand to “throw the fi rst shoe.”

Mayor Tim Burchett wants a lean and mean tour-ism recruitment contractor. With Kim Bumpas and the streamlined Visit Knoxville, he may have just what he’s looking for.

Note: Seven entities in-cluding Visit Knoxville sub-mitted an RFP. A committee of city and county offi cials will make a decision on the contractor.

of the heavy machinery going up the hill. It ruined our neighborhood,” Gayle Cherry said.

Dr. Roger Jackson, a retired Nashville physician who lives in the Green Hills area, urged the board to abandon clear-cutting and return to the less-draconian policy of selective tree management in urban areas.

“Two Realtors told me my house has decreased in value $50,000 in the last two weeks,” he said, mentioning a tiny sapling TVA contractors marked for removal because

there were power lines some 80 feet above it. When he tried to persuade them to leave it there, his pleas were ignored, he said.

“They told me it’s cheaper to cut it now rather than wait until it’s grown…. That little tree in 100 years couldn’t have damaged the power line.”

“This is not coming from FERC (the Federal Energy Regulation Commission). This is coming from this boardroom. You people are issuing the marching orders.”

POWELL HOWL

Kim Bumpas

Bumpas makes her caseKim Bumpas, president

and CEO of Visit Knoxville, says tourism is not a secret business and the tax-fund-ed efforts to bring tourists to Knox County must be transparent. She called the lack of transparency “a huge missed opportunity of the past.”

Bumpas spoke last week at the Powell Business and Professional Association, receiving high marks for candor and humor.

She called the upcom-ing Boomsday “the world’s largest fi reworks show off the back of a train,” and said

last week. Veteran educator, Korean War vet, UT football fan, great guy. He was 88.

Ed taught at Gibbs High and was y e a r b o o k sponsor for 23 of those years.

“I worked under him on the year-book staff,” says Gibbs High princi-

pal Lynn Hill, “and I mowed his grass at one time. He would come to our end-of-the-year luncheons or Christmas dinners and was sharp as a tack.”

Halls Middle assistant principal Jay Wormsley, who graduated from Gibbs in 1980, said Mr. House helped him get in teaching, literally.

elor’s degree and signed off on them for the education pro-gram. Dr. Murphy died two weeks later. When I turned my paperwork in, they told me, ‘This is in Dr. Murphy’s handwriting and it stands approved.’ I always felt like I owed Mr. House for that.

“And I sat with him at UT football games for fi ve years.”

Mr. House also inspired him, “because of the way he taught his classes and the way he could relate to people.”

“He was a great guy and a great teacher,” says Nathan Henry, a 1978 graduate who also served as yearbook edi-tor. “But he was also a good friend to the students as well. There’s a fi ne line between being a teacher and a friend and he knew where it was.”

Henry’s brother and sister had also been yearbook edi-tors at Gibbs.

“It wasn’t because it was a family thing or anything. It was an interest our family took and Mr. House was good

at grooming people to do the task in the way it needed to be done.”

Ed was forever proud that he saw the classic mid-1950s clash between UT and Georgia Tech. He told me about the time he met El-vis Presley at the Southern Railway station. He ate din-ner at Ramsey’s Restaurant just about every week for a lot of years. He loved poli-tics and always worked hard for his longtime pal Wanda Moody. He served as trea-surer for a lot of candidates because he knew the rules better than anyone else.

He was loyal to his friends, loved his cats and never met a stranger.

After we sat down for an interview in 2004, I quoted Wormsley as saying Mr. House was a legend who didn’t know he was a legend.

That just about pegs it. Godspeed, Ed. You’ll be

missed. Visit Jake Mabe online at jakemabe.

Here’s the good news for Democrats:

Truman Day was not held in a phone booth.

Madeline Rogero at the Truman Day Dinner, with Knox County Democratic Party chair Gloria

Johnson and state party chair Chip Forrester. Photo by Betty Bean

Rogero is bright spot for state Democrats

But they probably already know that, since a crowd of more than 300 showed up at The Foundry on a rainy night to support their party and their candidates, and to celebrate the most impres-sive triumph the party has had lately – Mayor Mad-eline Rogero.

Nobody noticed that Knoxville city elections are nonpartisan, which was fair, since Rogero not only fended off a full-frontal Re-publican attack in the pri-mary from candidate Ivan Harmon (complete with allegations that she was a United Nations plant intent on subjecting the city to the evil goals of Agenda 21), but also a big money run-off challenge from sort-of Democrat Mark Padgett (to whom the Agenda 21-ers migrated after the primary and who was last seen sup-porting Zach Wamp’s kid for Congress).

Lawyer Anne McKin-ney got the crowd going by reprising her Front Page Follies solo “I am Mayor” (a parody of Helen Reddy’s feminist anthem “I am Woman”). Rogero stood and owned the room. It didn’t hurt that she’s shown an

abundance of muscle and moxie her fi rst year in of-fi ce by actions like tackling the city’s pension problem – something her predeces-sor advocated but never at-tempted. She was confi dent, funny and in charge.

She was followed by state party chair Chip Forrester, who was, unfortunately, none of the above. And no wonder – he’s taken a whip-ping across the state since a guy named Mark Clayton snagged the party’s nomina-tion for U.S. Senate because he got top billing on a ticket of little-known candidates listed in alphabetical order in the primary. The fourth place fi nisher rubbed salt into Forrester’s wounds by suing him in federal court for letting Clayton – who posed for a campaign video with a bunch of gunslingers

who looked like they were fi xing to rob the mail train and who runs around Nash-ville with Stacey Campfi eld talking about gay people – onto the ballot.

The plaintiff is Larry Crim, and he fi gures he would have had the top spot but for the poseur Clayton.

Crim accused Forrester of allowing Clayton to stay in the catbird seat to siphon votes off the other candi-dates and boost the chances of TV performer Park Over-all, who evidently didn’t have a chance because her last name starts with an O.

Before Forrester intro-duced the row of Demo-cratic candidates who were patiently waiting on the sidelines, he did a Scarlett O’Hara-esque speech blast-ing Clayton for being into hate and conspiracy theo-

ries and pledging, “We will never put you in this posi-tion again.”

It was an uncomfortable moment, but nobody threw anything.

After the candidates were introduced, Rogero stood up and took over again.

“If we don’t fund them, they can’t run a campaign that is credible,” said the voice of experience. “You all need to dig deep. As Demo-crats, if we don’t fund cam-paigns, we can’t win cam-paigns. It’s a night and day difference.”

Checkbooks came out all over the room.

If national Democrats are looking for a tonic for their downtrodden Red State faithful, they could do a lot worse than invite Madeline Rogero to Charlotte and let her show them how it’s done.

TVA board needs members

TVA’s board of direc-tors, already short by three, is about to lose two more members and, on last Thursday, learned of the resignation of CEO Tom Kilgore.

It’s enough to make one ask, “Who’s in charge?”

By law, the board has nine directors but only six now serve. On May 18, the terms of directors Bishop William Graves of Memphis and Marilyn Brown of At-lanta expired. By law, they can continue on the board only to the end of the cur-rent session of Congress, likely to go on to December with October off for cam-paigning.

If Graves and Brown leave the board, only four directors will remain. That’s not enough to make a quorum to conduct TVA business.

The law states the board can exercise those pow-ers necessary to assure continuity of operations along the lines established when a quorum existed, but may not direct TVA into new areas, embark on new programs or change TVA’s existing direction, accord-ing to Travis Brickey, TVA spokesperson.

President Obama nomi-nated Peter Mahurin of Bowling Green, Ky., in Feb-ruary 2012 for a term expir-ing May 18, 2016, but the Senate has not scheduled hearings on his nomina-tion.

With the national elec-tion less than 80 days off and the Senate likely to meet for only four or fi ve weeks starting Sept. 10, it becomes much less likely that anyone would be con-fi rmed unless action occurs in the lameduck session of Congress in November or December.

Mahurin comes from the same Kentucky city as conservative Sen. Rand Paul. He heads up the Hill-iard Lyons brokerage offi ce there and is a consistent donor to Democratic candi-dates and causes. Very little else is known about him.

If Obama wins re-election, then his nominees may have a reasonable chance of being confi rmed before the end of this year. If Romney wins, then Re-publican senators may wish to delay any confi rmations until Romney takes of-fi ce on Jan. 20, 2013, and nominates his own people to the TVA board. However, it might be several months before a President Romney would get around to fi lling vacancies on the TVA board when he has higher profi le

positions to fi ll fi rst.Either Obama or Rom-

ney will have fi ve vacancies to fi ll.

Current board members who continue are Bill San-som of Knoxville, the board chair whose term goes to May 18, 2014; Barbara Haskew of Chattanooga also serves until May 18, 2014. Richard Howorth, a former mayor of Oxford, Miss., serves until May 18, 2015, while Neil McBride of Oak Ridge serves until May 18, 2013.

■ The current controversy in Knox county government over the mayor’s fi nancial disclo-sures and one commis-sioner’s arrest on Sharp’s Ridge has been a break for city government, which has escaped any serious scrutiny as the media con-centrates on more current and polemical issues in the county.

City government is going almost unnoticed in the current climate. The same happened when Mike Rags-dale was county mayor and controversy developed over expenses and personnel.

■ Tie vote: The City Council on Aug. 7 had one of its rare tie votes with an amendment to the pro-posed city charter pension changes, and Mayor Rogero cast her fi rst vote in favor of the amendment which passed 5-4.

With Mark Campen absent, the remaining council members split 4-4 with Stair, Grieve, Wallace and Della Volpe on one side and Saunders, Palmer, Brown and Pavlis on the other. Rogero voted with Saunders as she broke the tie vote. In 16 years presid-ing over council, I only got to vote twice to break a tie vote. It seldom happens. Otherwise, the mayor does not vote but presides at council.

■ Today (Aug. 20) at 10 a.m., Mayor Rogero will cut the ribbon on the new fence at Blount Mansion which the city built for $40,000. Constructed under the able leadership of David Brace, the fence really dresses up the historic site and rids the area of the previous ugly chain-link fence.

■ Anita Cash retires from the city after 32 years. More on her next week.

Gibson promotedNine-year Knox County

Community Development employee Rebecca Gibson has been appointed director

of the de-partment by Mayor Tim Burchett.

The for-mer com-m u n i t y d e v e l o p -ment direc-tor, Grant Rosenberg,

recently left Knox County government.

The Community Devel-opment Department over-sees and coordinates grants and grant-related projects ranging from defi ned ser-vices contracts to Home-land Security and Housing and Urban Development.

Anders or Norman for top jobTwo guys I like are about to

tangle. It’s not a death match, but there could be sprinkles of blood on the fl oor.

Mike Hammond is step-ping down as chair of Knox County Commission, term-limiting himself in the chair, although he will con-tinue to serve as an at-large commissioner.

Vice chair Brad Anders wants to step up, but others are pushing Tony Norman. As often happens at com-mission, the vote could be close going into the meeting and unanimous at the end.

Commissioners can sense the wind’s direction, and nobody wants to be on the losing side.

Anders told me he’s run-ning. And he sunshined a dinner meeting with Sam McKenzie to discuss the Beck Center. Hmmm.

Norman said Friday he’s “available if that is the will of the commission.” He said he’s not meeting with peo-ple or lobbying.

So who will win?Let’s look at the public

record to detect differences and then predict how col-leagues will line up.

Anders usually votes with the Chamber, the school board, the Sheriff’s Offi ce and developers. From Karns, he’s considered “a county guy.”

Norman vigorously op-posed the school board’s budget. He championed restrictions on hillside de-velopment. He’s currently bugging the Chamber about how it spends its county ap-propriation, and he’s con-sidered “a city guy.”

“You know where I stand,” said Norman, “and I think my views represent the majority of Knox Coun-ty. Others, well, may repre-sent special interests.”

Ouch!Just a few years ago,

nobody would take on the Sheriff’s Offi ce, much less when it was allied with the real estate industry and the Chamber.

Now, though, Norman has a clear shot at winning. Here’s how.

The winner needs six votes.

Norman and Larry Smith recently spoke fondly of Jeff Ownby while others were silent.

If Norman adds Smith and Ownby to his own vote, along with Dave Wright, Amy Broyles and Sam McK-enzie, then Norman wins.

Anders needs to hold the “county guys” like Wright and Smith to add to his own vote and the likely votes of Richard Briggs and Ham-mond. This leaves Mike Brown in his usual role of “swing” vote.

Anders could win with-out Smith and Wright if he gained Brown, Broyles and McKenzie – hence, his sud-den interest in the Beck Cen-ter, which was stripped of its county funding by Mayor Burchett.

Oh, yeah. Do not over-look the Burchett factor. The mayor might dust off his robo-call machine and start campaigning for Tony. He might stay neutral, but I don’t see him for Anders.

TALES OF TENNESSEE | Marvin West

A coach who might know says the Tennessee switch to a 3-4

base defense is fool’s gold.It is not magic. It may or may

not pressure quarterbacks, dis-rupt offenses, nail runners for losses, lead to multiple turnovers and dictate the fl ow of games.

The coach, in perfect step with fan forums and call-in radio shows, asked to remain anonymous.

The coach said of course defen-sive alignments matter, but how you line up is no more than third in the formula for winning. First is talent. Second is execution.

“If history books are correct, the gentleman who made Tennes-see football famous, Neyland or Nayland, beat a lot of butts with an antiquated offensive align-ment,” said the coach.

“I have heard that his teams

ran the single-wing with absolute precision. He could have told op-ponents he was coming off tackle, pointed to the point of attack, and they couldn’t have stopped it.”

This coach, not that coach, fi nds no fault with the three-man defensive front. Jolly good idea if you have the players to play it. Big man in the middle is critical. Smart reads necessary in gap con-trol. Several really good lineback-ers make a major difference. Cov-er corners can save your job.

Think in terms of speed, size, strength, intelligence, action, re-action and effort. Then, blitz or do whatever you do without too many big, bad blunders.

Derek Dooley’s decision to bring in Sal Sunseri and copy at least some of Alabama’s 3-4 scheme was the giant move to

3-4 defense is fool’s gold

half-correct Tennessee’s losing trend. There was also a need for Jay Graham.

The 3-4 will go down as a great move if it works. It will also make news if it doesn’t.

I am reminded of the time Phillip Fulmer bet the farm on a new offensive coordinator. That good doctor had the proper li-cense, looked sharp, spoke wise-ly of modern medicine but did not produce desired results. The cure simply did not take. The pa-tient regressed. The patient died. Friends still mourn.

Sunseri is qualifi ed. He knows plenty about the 3-4 after coach-ing linebackers for Nick Saban. He also knows the 4-3 from seven years of NFL defensive line work. He seems to understand young people. He appears to be a natural motivator. Good bet.

Best of all, Sal is a fl ame-thrower who believes in the aggressive de-fensive philosophy Dooley decided he wants. It starts with trying to strangle quarterbacks and press-ing receivers at the line of scrim-mage. That does involve risks.

Believe the outside perspective. What happens against North Car-olina State on Aug. 31 in Atlanta and against Florida on Sept. 15

at Neyland Stadium will depend more on how the Vols compare in talent, effort and execution than on alignment.

Hope the offense, aided by the new running attack, can carry both occasions. Do not expect defensive performance to be fl awless. Everybody is still learn-ing. No matter how many times coaches explain assignments, no matter how much video lineback-ers study, there is still the minor matter of doing it under duress.

Game speed is frightening if you must pause to ponder.

Don’t just wait and watch. Con-tribute something. Cross your fi ngers and repeat after me, 3-4, 3-4, 3-4. Find three and four-leaf clovers. Throw three-fourths of a pinch of salt over your left shoulder in the general direction of Raleigh.

Derek, Sal and several of us need this defensive stuff to turn into real gold, heavy, rock solid.Marvin West invites reader reaction. His address is [email protected].

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will fi nd rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

(Matthew 11:28-30 NIV)

When in doubt, tell the truth.(“Hazel’s Law,” Hazel Sherwood)

There are times, I sus-pect, in the life of ev-

ery writer when he or she can do nothing except tell the truth. I am not sure what this story means. I wonder about that. You probably will wonder, too. I only know that it is true.

There are almost al-ways stacks of paper on my desk at work. There are vouchers, folders, notes to myself, notes to others, reminders, scrap paper, informational bul-letins to be handed out to volunteers, etc., etc. There are notes attached to my computer screen, remind-ers of what password goes with what program (care-fully encoded, of course), checking account bal-ances, and notes to myself about something I need to discuss with tomorrow’s team leader.

So fi nding a scrap of pa-per with obscure notes on it

is not an unusual circumstance.Yesterday, however, I came

across a small sticky note with seven words written on it. I re-membered that conversation, knew that it had been taken care of, and I started to throw the paper away. But then I saw eight words, written at a different an-gle, up the side.

“Never take the burden I can help you,” it said.

No punctuation. None. (If any of my former English teachers are reading this, let me assure you that I know a semi-colon or a period should be there to sep-arate those two main clauses. I know that.)

Just those eight words.In my handwriting.I am being absolutely honest

when I say this: I have no mem-ory of writing those words, no idea when or why I wrote them, or what they meant to me in that moment. Was it something a friend had said to me? A col-league? My supervisor?

No clue.I only know that when I read

them, it felt as if God were speaking directly to my heart. It was a message from the uni-verse.

It was oddly reassuring on a day that had its ups and downs.

As I pondered it through the

day, I considered the fact that the note’s advice seems to run counter to Jesus’ admonition to take his yoke onto our own shoulders.

It was then, and only then, that I realized the cryptic words on the paper were simply an-other rendering of that same idea. Jesus tells us in Matthew’s Gospel to take his yoke upon ourselves, and at the same time tells me (in my own handwrit-ing!) to let him help me carry my burden.

When we are yoked with him, he is there beside us, to share the work, to lighten the load, to “take the burden.”

A note from God

UT offers urban forestry concentration

The Department of Forestry, Wildlife and Fisheries in UT’s Col-lege of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources is offering a new concentration in urban forestry. The urban forestry con-centration is an inter-disciplinary program emphasizing forestry, arboriculture, horti-culture, urban forest management and ur-ban wildlife.

“Urban forestry is a field that is really growing in demand,” says Dr. Sharon Jean-Philippe, coordinator of the urban forestry concentration. “Our graduates can find careers as commu-nity foresters, urban forestry supervisors and urban forestry instructors, among other areas. We are excited to offer this new concentration, and we believe our students will face a very bright future.”

By Ruth WhiteKnoxville’s Urban Wil-

derness South Loop trail was opened with a formal press conference and rib-bon-cutting last week. The 35-mile, natural surface trail connects five parks and natural areas to create an outdoor biking, hiking and running venue unique to Knoxville.

“Thirty-five miles of trail is such a big deal,” said Legacy Parks Foun-dation executive director Carol Evans. “This is a true collaborative effort be-tween Appalachian Moun-tain Bike Club, Tennessee Wildlife Resource Agency, Ijams Nature Center, the city of Knoxville, Knox County, Robin Easter De-

sign and Benefield-Rich-ters,” she said, “in addition to private donors and land owners.”

The Appalachian Moun-tain Bike Club played a huge part in developing the trails and created an 11.5 mile South Loop that is moderately easy. “We want a great first time experi-ence on the trails so people will return,” said Evans. Trail markers along the route will be color-coded to identify the South Loop and all secondary loops. Trails will also be identi-fied by name and difficulty rating. “There is a great va-riety of trail difficulty.”

The Urban Wilderness is envisioned as three key sections with parks, his-

toric areas and amenities. The South Loop will con-nect Ijams Nature Center, William Hastie Natural Area, Marie Myers Park, The Forks of the River Wildlife Management Area and other land to feature unique rock features, ma-ture forests, working farm-land and views of the Ten-nessee River.

Parking and trailheads for the South Loop in-clude Ijams Nature Center, 2915 Island Home Avenue; Mead’s Quarry entrance, 3518 Island Home Pike; William Hastie Natural Area, end of Margaret Road; Anderson School-Head Start, 4808 Prospect Lane; Forks of the River WMA, 3140 McClure Lane;

Shopper News Presents Miracle Makers

By Sandra Clark

Autumn Cyprès can use $10 words, but prefers to talk in the vernacu-lar. “I’ve taken 14 guns, nine load-

ed, and been shot once,” she says. “I’ve desegregated a school, put in a dual language school and dealt with unions. I’ve helped 12 kids get scholarships and had 16 kids who went on to become teachers themselves.”

This woman knows how to be a principal.

At UT for three years as founding director of the Center for Educational Leadership, her comrade, colleague and sister-in-arms is Betty Sue Sparks, longtime educator who retired as su-pervisor of human resources for Knox County Schools.

Together, Cyprès and Sparks over-see the Leadership Academy, charged with developing outstanding princi-pals for Knox County Schools. (The Center does more than work for KCS, but that’s another story.)

It’s funny to hear the Leader-ship Academy Fellows referred to as “McIntyre’s pets,” as in “pretty soon all the principals will be McIntyre’s pets.” Appointing principals is the su-perintendent’s prerogative, and Knox County has had some mighty good principals and some others.

Superintendent Dr. Jim McIntyre identifi ed leadership development as a priority upon his arrival here. He worked with Cornerstone Foundation to secure funding for the Leadership Academy, now in its third year. Cyprès said the fellows are selected in a “very rigorous process over two months.”

She calls the selection process “truly fair,” without regard to gender, ethnicity or ability to pay. All fellows are paid as assistant principals and are assigned to a mentor principal in a lo-cal school where they work four days a week. Additionally, they attend classes and develop a project at their school in which each identifi es a problem and

implements a solution.“We’re offering a

She also served as an elementary supervi-sor and spent eight years as director of human resources for Knox County Schools.Now retired, she serves as Cornerstone principal-in-residence with the Center for Educa-tional Leadership at UT.

‘A true design/build/fast track project’

“This crisis stabilization unit was built in 49

days. The architect and engineers

worked with our subcontractors

in the truest sense of fast

tracking. Almost every element

was prefabricated to some degree

to allow the project to move

forward without delays. Working

16 hour days and seven day weeks, the project

was 100 percent complete with all inspections

passed on July 27 after starting on June 8.

“The facility was built fast, but still has all

the bells and whistles the client needs including

VRF HVAC systems allowing each patient room to

have total control of the temperature.

“The site was surrounded by existing health

facilities which meant interaction of electrical and

storm water systems. Permeable concrete was used to

Start to finish in 49 Days

Sandy Loy

By Sandra Clark

When the state an-nounced the closure of Lakeshore Mental Health Institute, law enforce-ment personnel across East Tennessee were per-plexed. Where would they take those individuals who required short-term housing but did not need to go to jail?

Among other options, the state contracted with Cherokee Health Systems to build a 16-bed facility in Morristown. And Cherokee called Sandy Loy at Con-struction Plus.

“We needed to get the fa-cility built in two months,” said Loy. “I worked a best case schedule that came out to 49 days. … I used every single construction man-agement trick I know on this one project. The sub-contractors were outstand-ing and we were thrilled to fi nish in 49 days.”

He said subcontrac-tors worked closely in the 4,500 square feet space. Some of the work, such as wall panels, was done off-site and installed. “We had a plumber putting together pipes out in the parking lot.

“Everyone had input into the original schedule, and I told them, ‘If you’re going to be on the team, help us get to the end zone.’ We had people crawling over each other. It was fun, really.”

The key was the master schedule.

Sandy designed a comprehensive list of jobs that had to be fi n-ished before another could start. He updated the schedule every 48 hours and shared it with subcontractors, so each knew when to show up. There was little wasted time.

The building was con-structed so that a second

fl oor can be added. Perme-able concrete was used to reduce run-off. Individual heat and air systems re-duced ductwork.

The project was built within the requirements of the city’s anti-noise ordi-nance and was inspected by both local and state of-fi cials. All within 49 days.

Best of all, the client was pleased with the result.

Jeff Howard of Cherokee Health Systems, said, “San-dy and his team were great. They worked well with our staff, architects and sub-contractors to build a high-quality building at a reasonable cost.

“In addition to the value received by this ex-perienced and personable

team, we got great, timely results and CPI’s integrity and creativity were never in question. I highly recom-mend CPI.”

And Sandy Loy summed it up: “Bricks and mortar don’t know the difference. (Meeting customer expectations) is about getting people in a fl ow that works. It’s about getting the players lined up in the right order.

“Commercial construc-tion companies can’t af-ford to keep a large staff on the payroll. Everybody has slimmed down, and most use subcontractors. Hiring a construction manager is the only way that works in today’s economy. This proj-ect really spoke to that.”

By Alvin NanceAt KCDC, we are com-

mitted to p r o t e c t -ing the e n v i r o n -ment and the health of our r e s ident s t h r o u g h green ini-t i a t i v e s .

With every new KCDC property and renova-tion, affordable housing in Knoxville and Knox County is “going green.”

All five buildings of the Eastport project, includ-

ing the historic Eastport Elementary School, were certified Leadership in Energy and Environmen-tal Design (LEED) Plati-num by the U.S. Green Building Council (US-GBC).

LEED Platinum cer-tifi cation is the highest level given by the USGBC to housing initiatives that excel in green homebuild-ing and design. Green building includes the use of renewable building ma-terials; energy-effi cient lighting and applianc-es; water conservation; high-effi ciency HVAC,

plumbing and irrigation systems; surface water management; and con-struction waste manage-ment. Though this project is not the fi rst time KCDC has placed an emphasis on sustainability and effi -ciency, this is the fi rst time we’ve achieved LEED cer-tifi cation status.

Along with our project partners, Partners Devel-opment, BarberMcMurry Architects, Sanders Pace Architecture and Denark Construction, we com-pleted the rigorous quali-fication progress, which began in the conceptual

designs for the property and carried through to the completion of the project with a thorough site evaluation.

Our teamwork paid off with spectacular results. We have not only created a healthier living environ-ment for our residents, we will decrease our long-term maintenance costs and provide cost savings through energy and water conservation.

Our commitment to green building is ongoing, and this award truly show-cases that dedication.

Alumni SpotlightTemple grad advances as educator

Hope McGee Nord-strom is a 1996 graduate of Temple Baptist Acad-emy. This past year, Hope has been teaching 7th grade language arts at Dickson Middle School in Middle Tennessee.

Before moving to Dickson, she taught for nine years in various grades at Harpeth Mid-dle School, in the Nash-ville area, where she was named the Distinguished Educator of the Year for 2008-09 and 2010-11.

While at Harpeth, Hope served as the lead mentor teacher and was on the school leadership team.

She recently com-pleted her Doctorate of Education from Trevecca Nazarene University in Nashville. She also holds a Master of Education

and a Bachelor of Science degree from Tennessee Tech University.

Hope’s newest role will be as an assistant professor of education with primary respon-sibility in the Master of

Education in instruction-al technology program at Lipscomb University. She will also be working as a Lipscomb Partner at a Nashville-area middle school. As a partner, she will be mentoring two teachers throughout the year in hopes of increas-ing student achievement.

“I will have the op-portunity to work with outstanding students and faculty in the Col-lege of Education,” says Nordstrom. “I can share my passion for teaching and learning – focusing on more than academics.

“While at Temple, the teachers went out of their way to assist students in their learning and shared their faith with us. I will always be grateful to them and want to model their examples with my graduate students.”
