Hard times and tragedy By Betty Bean

ost days but Sunday, Roy Anderson is down on Broadway sitting in his green 1971 Chevy C-10 pickup truck in the old Fountain City Kroger parking lot, loaded down with firewood for sale. He’s got red oak, white oak and hickory plus bundles of cedar kindling. Frequently one of his 10 children is riding shotgun. He knows he could make more money if he’d find a spot out toward Farragut, but the Chevy only gets about 11 miles to the gallon, so he stays closer to his home in Corryton and does the best he can. He’s waiting for spring when he, his son Roy Jr. and his friend Randy Harwell will be opening up “Our Father’s Garden,” a landscaping supply, lawn maintenance, remodeling and construction business on Cunningham Road in Halls, at the site of the old Munsey’s Lawn Care. A pewter ornament that his wife, Sylvia, gave him hangs from his rearview mirror. It says, “I love you all dearly. Now don’t shed a tear. I’m spending my Christmas with Jesus this year. In loving memory, Samuel Anderson, 20062010.” The little pendant commemorates their youngest son who died of neuroblastoma – a vicious form of cancer – on Nov. 4. Not that Roy needs reminders. The boy is never far from his mind. Just over three years ago, Roy Anderson was a licensed Realtor, a general contractor and a successful builder/developer who had built and sold 19 houses and started Shiloh Gardens, a subdivision on Pedigo Road. He’d built his family a house that they only owed $21,000 on (and that was for the land) and he drove a big F-350 King Ranch dually that pulled a skid-steer loader. Samuel really liked that truck. The doctors at Children’s Hospital discovered Samuel’s tumor Aug. 31, 2007, and flew him to Vanderbilt for treatment. He was desperately ill from the beginning and spent more than 70 days on life support that year. His stomach swelled up like he’d swallowed

a basketball and most of his vital organs, including his eyes, were compromised. Roy and Sylvia never left his side. “Down in Nashville they gave us a Ronald McDonald room about a quarter mile from the hospital. Might as well have been 1,500 miles away. We appreciated it, but we couldn’t be that far away from him, so we let somebody else use it. Every day they were telling us he wouldn’t live till tomorrow. The tumor didn’t shrink, he had breathing difficulties and they had to intubate him. But in January 2008, he went into remission, although with neuroblastoma, there’s really no remission. They just call it ‘No Evidence of Disease – NED.’ So we went back to work. “I was working as a trim carpenter and cabinet maker and I built our house debt-free as the Lord gave me the money. We cut down trees on our property for

lumber and every time I got paid, if I had any extra money, I’d put it in the house. I also built my daddy a house on the property.” Roy had nearly finished a couple of houses in Shiloh Gardens when the bottom fell out of the market. He mortgaged the family home for $280,000 and used the money to pay the interest on his business debts and for living expenses. Finally, the Andersons walked away from their home and his dad let them have the house Roy had built for him. Roy got a loan on his truck to pay off the interest on a construction note, but things kept going south on him and on April 3, 2009, the repo guys pulled up to take the truck. “That’s the one thing that bothered Samuel the most. He’d say, ‘Daddy, when are they going to bring back our truck?’ I told him that wasn’t going to happen and he’d say ‘We’ll get another truck,

daddy. I got money, Daddy.’ He got a Social Security check from where he’d been sick and he wanted to give it to me, but that money was just to be used for him.” Roy filed for bankruptcy in September, about the time Samuel’s cancer came back. “A week before he passed away, I’d saved up $1,400 but the guy was wanting $3,000 for this truck. Samuel had money in the bank that people had given him out of compassion, and he said, ‘Mommy, give Daddy some of my money so he can go buy that truck.’ When we got home from church on Wednesday night my wife said, ‘Why don’t you just go ahead and buy that truck,’ and handed me money from Samuel’s account,” Roy said. The next day he and two of his other children, Joshua and Hannah, went to Sevier County to get the truck. They were on their

way back when his mother-in-law called and said that Samuel had quit breathing “I told her to turn his oxygen rate up and she said she already had. ‘He’s gone, Roy.’ My wife was crying, saying, ‘I’ve killed him. I killed him. He asked for a drink of water and he stopped breathing.’ I told her she didn’t kill him. How many times had she given her children a drink of water? “I didn’t even want the truck then, wanted to take it back. But she told me the Lord didn’t want me to be there because he knew that Josh and Hannah and I wouldn’t have been able to handle watching Samuel pass away. She told me not to throw the truck away, just fix it up.” So he kept the old green truck and got it into working order. He kind of wished it were blue because that was the color of Tommy the Tank Engine, Samuel’s favorite cartoon. One day he was working on the passenger side door and noticed something odd in the door jam – a strip of bright blue, which he realized was the truck’s original color. Restoring it is high on Roy’s to-do list. And he wants to make something very clear: “We’re born again and we’re trusting in the Lord and we realize that there’s trials and tribulations that everybody has to go through. This isn’t an accident that we’ve lost our business and our son. We know that we’ll see him again. We loved him as much as you could love anybody, so when we had to let him go back to the Lord, we gave him all we could. “We’ve got clothes, groceries, a place to stay and TennCare’s paying for our medical, so our needs are all met. We’d love to have your business, but we don’t need a handout. And we’re just thankful that God picked us to be Samuel’s parents out of all the billions of people to choose from.”

Goodwill contract up for approval By Larry Van Guilder A resolution approving a contract with Goodwill Industries to provide recycling services is on County Commission’s January agenda. The public works and engineering department wants to contract with Goodwill for five years, in one-year increments, to provide “comprehensive recycling and reuse services” at the county’s convenience centers. Significantly, the resolution states that Goodwill will have “responsibility for revenue and expense from the Halls conve-

nience center yard waste collection service.” In July 2009, an investigation by the Shopper-News revealed as much as $35,000 in funds collected at the center from consumers for recycling could not be accounted for. That same month, Diane Roach, a 12-year county employee, resigned after telling her supervisor she had stolen “about $1,000” from the cash collected at the center. Roach pleaded guilty to stealing $1,000 last August, and a Tennessee Bureau of Investigation probe to determine how

much money went missing continues. In addition to the admitted embezzlement, the Halls center suffered at least one burglary in 2009. A June 1, 2009, report filed with the Knox County Sheriff’s Office by Tom Salter, the solid waste director, stated that “an unknown suspect used a key to open the gate and the door of the office.” A lock box containing cash had been pried open. Bruce Wuethrich, engineering and public works director at the time, confirmed that $883 had

been taken. The proposed contract with Goodwill is consistent with a new direction for the county’s solid waste department. As we reported last month, interim public works and engineering director Dwight Van de Vate has notified Natural Resources Recovery that its greenwaste recycling contract with the county will not be renewed when it expires July 31. Gradually, Knox County is getting out of the recycling business and turning it over to private enterprise, a move which can’t come too soon.

That weather If there is anything more gratifying than watching local TV weather persons blow a forecast, it’s listening to them explain why they got it wrong. OK, so the latter has never happened, but it’s fun to fantasize. Despite the pleasure they provide viewers with these public demonstrations of incompetence, weather persons (WPs) are responsible for 99.87 percent of the deterioration in intelligent use of the English language, and they must be brought to justice for their criminal promotion of inarticulate speech. Take, for example, the phrase “your Monday” (or Friday, for that matter). In fact, I hope you do take it, because if it’s your Monday, I certainly don’t want it. I want my own Monday, thank you, and I’d appreciate it if you’d keep your days to yourself. Sometimes WPs will try to make amends by referring to “our Monday.” I don’t know about you, but I never agreed to share my Monday with the public. If the Monday in question belongs to the WPs and their colleagues at the station, they should say so. And if it’s their Monday, why should I care anyway? More vexing still are the WPs profligate use of “that” and “those.” There are only so many thats and thoses to go around, and squandering these useful words in nonsense phrases like “those temperatures” (are there other temperatures we should be concerned with?) and “that rain” (if it isn’t that rain, which rain is it?) will inevitably lead to a shortage. How bad could it get? Imagine the

simple act of explaining to an auto dealer which of two nearly identical cars you want to test drive. “I’ll take … one.” “Which one?” “Uh, over there.” “Which one over there?” After a few more fruitless exchanges of this sort, you stalk off wondering why if we can put a man on the moon we can’t invent a synthetic “that” to fill the void created by wasteful WPs. And consider the horrifying prospect of the WPs’ language mangling extending to newspaper reporting due to creeping verbal osmosis (CVO), an incurable and invariably fatal disorder of the syntax system. A report on the mayor’s presentation to County Commission might go something like this: Today, that mayor pledged to bring those expenses under control by keeping that eye on our budget. “Your mayor is determined to try that strategy,” our mayor said in those words. A chilling scenario indeed, but it’s not too late to do something about it. Write, email, telephone, text or telegraph your local WPs. Threaten to boycott the station’s advertisers unless they pledge to stop abusing our revered English language. That is all for those opinions. This week we bring you a compelling story from Betty Bean about the losses suffered by a former developer, and Wendy Smith writes of a disabled veteran who could use some help.

Ross Southerland has rubbed shoulders with music history. From country crooners to Vegas superstars to virtually anybody associated with Elvis Presley, he knows what it feels like to gab (and jam) with the greats. Enjoying a burger and a cup of soup at Litton’s on a suddenly snowy afternoon last week, Southerland was saddened over the passing of one of them, soul singer Myrna Smith. You may not recognize the name. But chances are you’ve heard her voice. Smith was a longtime member of the Sweet Inspirations, an R&B/soul group that at one point included Cissy Houston (Whitney’s mother), Estelle Brown and Sylvia Shemwell. In addition to having their own top 20 hit, “Sweet Inspiration,” the Sweets also sang backup on records for Aretha Franklin (“Chain of Fools”), Jimi Hendrix (“Burning of the Midnight Lamp”), Dusty Springfield (“Son of a Preacher Man”) and Van Morrison (“Brown Eyed Girl”). From 1969 to 1977, the Sweets sang backup and opened concerts for Elvis Presley. Smith died Dec. 24 at a hospice near Los Angeles. She had fallen ill while on tour overseas with “Elvis in Concert,” a show that features video performances by Elvis, who is projected onto a screen, to the live accompaniment of surviving members of his band. Southerland, who can eerily channel Presley’s last lead guitarist James Burton, performed with Smith throughout the world as part of the touring group with Elvis tribute artist Shawn Klush. “Myrna was just a good ol’ girl,” Southerland says. “She was a good woman. On tour, we’d eat breakfast together every morning. We’d laugh and tell jokes.” Southerland says that Smith, like virtually everybody else associated with Elvis, would clam up if you started pumping her for information about the King. “But if you don’t say anything, (stories) just come flying out. She told me secrets not known to the public.” He says he once asked Smith what one thing she would change about her life. Unexpectedly, she told him she wished she had her friendship back with opera singer Kathy Westmoreland, who also toured with Presley in the 1970s. The two eventually had a falling out and were not on speaking terms. A 1982 Halls High graduate who now lives in Powell, Southerland spent much of the 1980s and early 1990s in California touring with his rock and roll band, Outta Line. While in Los Angeles, on rocker Sammy Hagar’s birthday, Oct. 13, 1989, Southerland met that other Sammy – Sammy Davis Jr. – by chance when Davis’s Cadillac was stopped at a red light. It’s a funny and poignant story. Southerland and his girlfriend had parked on Santa Monica Boulevard and

Jake Mabe were walking toward a convenience store when Southerland spotted the popular singer sitting in the back of his red two-door Caddy. “The light had turned red. I yelled ‘Sammy!’ All of a sudden, my girlfriend, who is wearing high heels, goes running past me toward the car. She’s holding my camera, leans up to the car and when he rolls the window down, says, ‘Oh …’ and walks on into the store. She thought it was Sammy Hagar.” Southerland shook Davis’s hand – he remembers it felt really warm on what was a cool night – and Davis replied, “You mean a longhaired white cat like you knows who I am?” “Of course I do,” Ross replied. “You’re the greatest singer who ever lived!” The two talked. Southerland kept waiting for his girlfriend to return with the camera. She didn’t. The red light turned green. Davis motioned for his driver to stay put. “Everything that I said to him was stupid. I kept saying things like, ‘Remember when you were on “I Dream of Jeannie”?’ ”

Follow Ross Southerland on MySpace at http:// www.myspace.com/ rosssoutherland. Davis kept talking in what was by then a raspy voice ravaged by the cancer that would kill him the following year. Just before he left, Davis looked at Southerland and said, “Well, if a long-haired white cat like you knows who I am, I guess I didn’t turn out to be a Mr. Bojangles after all.” “He shook my hand again and I told him that I loved him.” After Davis’s death, Southerland caught a TV interview on a Jerry Lewis telethon in which Davis said, “My biggest fear in life,” (pause) “was to turn out to be a real Mr. Bojangles.” “Chills ran up my neck.” Outta Line had three record deals on the table from Capitol, RCA and Enigma Records when the Gulf War broke out in 1991. Southerland says that Hollywood promptly “shut down” and when things got back to normal, grunge had replaced hard rock in popularity.

So Southerland headed home. By chance his old friend Jay Thomas, who at one point moved to California with Outta Line, was working the lights at Memories Theatre in Pigeon Forge. The show was looking for a new lead guitarist to play for Eddie Miles’s Salute to Elvis. Thomas recommended Southerland and he got the job. It was a position he would hold, on and off, until Memories shut its doors Jan. 1. Along the way, Southerland played for Miles and Elvis tribute artists Pete Willcox, William Stiles and Lou Vuto, and met and befriended Elvis’s best buddy, Charlie Hodge (the guy who would hand the King water and scarves on stage). They became close and Southerland served as a pall bearer and delivered a eulogy when Hodge died in March 2006. “He really taught me how to sing harmony. He taught me the high harmony parts on ‘Peace in the Valley.’ ” While at Memories, Southerland also played with country legend Johnny Paycheck, sang with Elvis’s backup quartet J.D. Sumner and the Stamps, and, on one great night, was visited by country singer Johnny Russell (“Rednecks, White Socks and Blue Ribbon Beer”), who said he showed up just to hear Ross play. Southerland will continue to perform with the Memories show, which is relocating to a new theater in the coming months at the former site of Eddie’s Heart and Soul Café, next door to Country Tonite in Pigeon Forge. He is also touring with Klush (another South American trip is on tap for the fall) and putting the finishing touches on his second album, which he hopes to release in late summer or early fall. “My first album, I was more of a singer/songwriter, writing songs for other people. But that ain’t me. I’m going back to my Southern roots.” Southerland promises it will be guitar-oriented and influenced by his heroes, Jerry Lee Lewis, Elvis and Waylon Jennings, and by the 1970s outlaw country music he loves. “I hate sounding like everybody else. I have passed up several (recording) opportunities. I might be hardheaded, but I would rather save face and be proud of something I do than jump on the same ol’ cookie-cutter bandwagon and wear a big cowboy hat. I’m gonna say what I want!” Call Jake Mabe at 922-4136 or e-mail JakeMabe1@aol.com. Visit him at jakemabe.blogspot.com.

Duncan sees potential growth for Dogwood Arts Festival By Jake Mabe The best buzzwords surrounding the venerable Dogwood Arts Festival right now are growth potential. Lisa Duncan, the festival’s executive director, told the North Knox Rotary Club last Thursday that the famous South by Southwest Festival in Austin, Texas, for example, helped draw $99 million last year (roughly $300 per day spent by attendees), as well as $23 million in media broadcast exposure, equal to that of the Tournament of Roses parade. Duncan says that the Dogwood Arts Festival is trying to lure NBC’s “Today” show here this year and is hoping for publicity in several national magazines.

“We want it to be the best festival in the Southeast,” she said. Duncan says that 2,000 disease-resistant Dogwood trees have been planted over the past two years (including 200 in North Knox) to help with repopulation. Organizers hope that the popular Chalk Walk, which features sidewalk art by professional and student artists, will help “re-energize” the festival. The outdoor sculpture exhibit has been expanded. Organizers are trying to find an underwriter for a potential sculpture exhibit in North Knoxville. Riders are encouraged to bike the trails this year as part of the Bikes and Blooms “lean greenway” effort

April 9-10 and the popular Rhythm and Blooms Americana music festival will return April 1-3. The festival’s annual House and Garden Show fundraiser returns Feb. 1113 at the Knoxville Convention Center and will feature “state of the art energy efficient products and services,” Duncan says. “I hope I’ll see you at the festival or at the House and Garden Show,” Duncan says. For more info, an event schedule or to become a volunteer or partner visit DogwoodArts.com. The North Knox Rotary Club meets noon Thursdays at Litton’s. Info: Trey Coleman, treycoleman@yahoo. com.

Historical note: While researching another article, I came across this nugget from the Dogwood Arts Festival’s past: On April 8, 1972, the festival brought Elvis Presley to Stokely Athletic Center for matinee and evening concerts, his first in Knoxville. The two shows combined were the most attended of any stop on Elvis’s 1972 spring tour. Filmmakers shot footage at the concert and in and around Knoxville, some of which made it into the final cut of the documentary “Elvis on Tour,” which was released by MGM later that fall.

Bruce Pearl listened quietly as Pat Summitt was heaped with praise during the invocation at the Big Orange Tip Off Club luncheon last week. It was game day for his slumping Vols, who would face the Memphis Tigers that night and were hoping to break out of a December slump that hung four Ls on their record. He had just come in from the ceremony down on the Riverwalk where Summitt was awarded with the first star on the new Riverwalk of Fame. He wanted to get back to his team, but he also wanted to honor Summitt and make a little contact with the fans who had come to hear her speak at the Tip Off Club. Pearl, who is facing an eight-game suspension for lying to NCAA, was sandwiched between the invocation and

the legend that is Pat Summitt, and did a masterful job of handling the orange-clad crowd of superfans: “That was a wonderful prayer,” he said. “Except. Have you not been paying attention to my record and her record this year? The girl don’t need your prayers. I do. We need Him. We need her. We need everybody.” Pearl was pitch-perfect, and so was Summitt, who let her guard down so the crowd could see how touched she was by the honor she had just received. “What a day! The star – I didn’t know what it was going Pat Summitt launches into an to mean,” she said.

“I know he’s smiling.” She talked about the hayloft basketball court her dad built, and how she had no choice but to be tough when she played hoops with “three older brothers who beat the crap out of me. I decided I was going to fight back.” She told the crowd that she is pleased with her team’s progress and said she believes they have turned a significant corner. She singled out freshman guard Meighan Simmons, whom she called the toughest player on the team, for special praise – to a point. “Meighan has never seen a shot she didn’t love – I’ve seen some of her shots I didn’t love. But she has a chance to be one of the best guards that ever played here.”

She talked about her relationship with the late John Wooden, who took Summitt and her players under his wing when they would visit Los Angeles. “I went to his apartment probably a dozen times. He got on the bus with us and took us to his favorite restaurant, and when he’d talk to us, you could hear a pin drop.” Summitt hinted that recruiting efforts are going to bear fruit. “Everybody in this room is going to be happy with our recruiting. I’m leaving here Friday to go visit one of the best post players in the future. There’s no doubt we’re going to be a much, much better team in the next two years.”

New holidays you can’t live without

Haslam bids Knoxville adieu If Bill Haslam had a detectable mean streak, the audience at his farewell address might have thought that a portion of his speech was aimed straight at the guy sitting squarely in before him in the front row, center section – Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett:

Betty Bean “We must continue to find the best practices to effectively deal with homelessness. It is a major issue for our city and our community. I believe that permanent supportive housing is the right approach. We must not forget, however, that it is not the only tenet of the Ten Year Plan. The plan has given us better ways to work at effectively dealing with the problem of homelessness in our community. And it is working. It is essential that we continue to search out and implement methods to prevent and address the

day to day challenges homelessness presents, and we must not let homelessness become an issue that divides us and appeals to the worst of our impulses.” But Haslam, who is so religious that he once contemplated becoming a minister, doesn’t have an abundance of malice in his makeup, so he probably wasn’t calling Burchett out over the threat to end county support of the Ten Year Plan if residents of permanent supportive housing are allowed to drink in their apartments – success rates, scholarly research and respect for the law be damned. And nobody seemed to take it that way, even though Haslam followed up his defense of the Ten Year Plan by sort of channeling Lincoln’s plea to the better angels of our nature and not to look for wedge issues to divide us: “Finally, one of the greatest challenges we face is to keep from pitting one area against another and one group against another. If we look at success as a zerosum game, where one’s gain

is only at another’s loss, we all eventually lose. …” The governor-elect singled out and commended the contributions of his estimable deputy Larry Martin, who, along with policy wonk-in-chief Bill Lyons, has kept the city’s wheels turning while Haslam barnstormed the state in pursuit of higher office. He started to choke up when he described marching in his last Christmas parade and struggled for composure when he said that his heart would never be far from Knoxville. After the speech, he waded into the friendly crowd,

shadowed by two hard-eyed men who make up the security contingent assigned to him on election night. They watched intently as the hugging commenced. Someone warned him to watch out for Stacey Campfield. Current members of City Council (most of whom want to become interim mayor) were there to see and be seen. The most perfect plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose moment of the morning came when he couldn’t make it out of the room without being buttonholed by former City Council member Joe Hultquist.

Former mayor gives advice Cherokee Country Club? Are you a member? What is the right answer if you are a candidate for mayor? Two candidates belong to Cherokee, a gathering place for past and present civic leaders, and were recently asked about it by Betty Bean. Marilyn Roddy quickly asserted that she does not belong but it is her husband, Patrick, who has the membership. This response is disingenuous. It ignores the question of whether Marilyn regularly uses the club on her husband’s membership, which, of course, she does and has done for years. Foster Arnett proudly told us that his great-grandfather helped found the club and he thinks Cherokee now has three black members. That was his total response. Both also told us they want to continue Bill Haslam’s record as mayor. Part of the Haslam record includes resigning from Cherokee in 2003 when he decided to run for mayor. He has not rejoined. When Winfield Dunn ran unsuccessfully for governor in 1986, his membership in Nashville’s Belle Meade Country Club was an issue. He eventually resigned. There is a reason these resignations occurred.

Victor Ashe

Roddy and Arnett might want to ask why. For the record, I belonged to Cherokee 27 years ago but resigned in 1984. There is a reason both Haslam and I resigned (and it was not inability to pay the dues). In 1984 Cherokee still had de facto policies of exclusion based on gender, religion and race. Women were not voting members at that time and certainly African-Americans were not members nor were Jews. Remember the stunning and unfortunate quote from Doug Dickey that membership for Wade Houston was not an option when UT coaches were being given complimentary memberships at the club? I did not feel I could ask all Tennesseans to support me for U.S. senator if I belonged to a club where most Tennesseans could not enter. Today, that is no longer true at Cherokee. People willing to pay the price can apply and be considered

without regard to race, creed or gender. Perhaps today’s Cherokee membership is no longer an issue in a Knoxville mayor’s race. Cherokee members today certainly would strongly oppose the discrimination the club once practiced. Nevertheless, the issue comes up. Candidates are asked. Both Arnett and Roddy missed the chance to deplore discrimination with their poorly conceived answers. Roddy should not have tried to escape the issue by acting like it was just her husband who belonged and, by inference, only he uses it. Voters are not that naive. Arnett claiming Cherokee today has three black members and that somehow resolves the matter insults voter intelligence. Eight years ago Cherokee demolished the historic J. Allen Smith House across Lyons View Pike from the main club house. In litigation, they successfully prevailed on property rights while incensing many historic preservationists with the manner in which they approached the issue. This is a very different issue from the one of exclusion. Arnett or Roddy failed to voice strong opposition to discrimination and support

Vital partnership

for fair treatment of all. This is sad as our mayor must be prepared, willing and enthused in fighting discrimination in all its ugly forms. Both should have said they deplored past practices at Cherokee. Both should have said that they and their spouse would not belong to a club which condoned or practiced discrimination. In fact, neither said a word in their interviews on the whole issue of discrimination – a missed opportunity for both. Meanwhile, the other four current mayoral candidates have not rushed to secure a membership application. Long distance? For those wondering why Roddy would list a RSVP phone number located in New Hampshire (area code 603) for her Jan. 6 Hot Jazz party, don’t get alarmed. She is not outsourcing jobs to the Granite State. The number belongs to a volunteer friend of her daughter who attends college there. But does it count as a long distance call? Could no one in Knoxville handle this? Next time better to use a local 865 number and use Knoxville city voters as primary volunteers if you are running for mayor or city council.

Christmas is history, New Year’s Day has faded in the rearview mirror, and many of you are saying to yourselves: “I wouldn’t wear that tie to a dogfight.” Some among you, indeed, are taking a most uncharitable view of holidays, happy to be back in your workplace where excessive tinsel decorating is frowned upon and possession of eggnog is grounds for termination. To you I’m pleased to say that you’re wrong, that a few more holidays on the local calendar are just what’s needed. Sure, the 4th of July and Boomsday are fine for plastic surgeons and emergency room physicians paid by the finger, but what of the many deprived of a medical school education? For their benefit I propose the following: The Running of the Bull: This is destined to become everyone’s favorite holiday season. During election years, beginning with the primary season and continuing until the day of the general election, candidates and voters will assemble at Market Square on Sundays. Using (what else?) a bullhorn, Stacey Campfield or a reasonable facsimile thereof will proclaim, “Let’s get ready to r-r-r-umble,” and the fun begins! While shouting campaign slogans (examples: “I’ll eliminate waste!” “Me too!” “No tax increase!”), candidates will chase voters around the square. The first candidate to gore or trample a majority of the fleeing voters will be declared the winner and henceforth be known as “El Toro.” Required dress: candidates, three-piece pinstriped law suits; voters, a bright red polo called the “complete bull shirt.” (Holiday not observed in the town of Farragut, where wearing a complete bull shirt is prohibited by ordinance.) Cinco de Midway (literally, “a fifth of Midway”): This holiday derives its name from the now well-

Larry Van Guilder

established fact that only 20 percent of the population in the vicinity of the proposed Midway business park favored the project, and of that number all were either deceased or had moved to Hamilton County in 1957. Gaily decorated road signs reading “7-4” are erected in the Thorn Grove community at sunrise on Cinco de Midway. These remain in place until The Running of the Bull begins or until pigs fly, should the latter occur first. The County Commissioners who voted in favor of the project (dubbed “The Four Horsemen of the Chamber” during Cinco de Midway) are mounted on ponies and paraded through the Thorn Grove area until dark. The commissioners are then directed to The Development Corporation’s mostly idle existing business parks and ordered not to return until they’ve recruited three hightech companies and a Starbucks. The Ten Year Plan Bowl: What holiday calendar would be complete without a bowl game to enjoy? The TYP Bowl game pits County Commissioners and City Council members against not only one another, but the citizens of Knox County at large. The game will be divided into halves, one each in the county and the city. Posturing, grandstanding and pandering are worth three points each, and a successful NIMBY six points. If tied at the end of regulation, teams will be allowed one week to see which can evict the most tenants from Minvilla and convert the apartments into luxury condos. Happy holidays!

Week of decisions A casualty of printing a Monday paper on Friday evening is this writerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s previously stellar power of prediction. So no predictions this week, just hopes. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hoping Jim McIntyre sticks around. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got some good work underway and the programs deserve his leadership. To leave for Nashville now is akin to birthing a litter of wolf cubs in the woods and leaving them to fend. Some will make it; others wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. And hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hoping McIntyre and his pals at the Great School Partnership (or whatever theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re calling it now)

Project Graduation kickoff is Wednesday Last day for deposit is Jan. 28 By Jake Mabe Project Graduation is back at Halls High School this year and organizers are holding a special kickoff ceremony for seniors 9:40 a.m. Wednesday, Jan. 28, in the Halls Middle School auditorium. Student skits, special prize giveaways and a surprise appearance by a local celebrity will all highlight the kickoff. Project Graduation is a safe, chaperoned after-graduation party that began in Maine in 1979 after seven seniors were killed on graduation night. The movement spread to high schools across the country. Several had been held at Halls High in the 1990s and 2000s. After a hiatus, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s back this year.

The event will be held immediately following graduation, 11:30 p.m. to 7 a.m. Thursday and Friday, May 19-20, at Jubilee Banquet Hall on Callahan Drive. It is a lock-in and designed to give graduates a safe place to party. A $10 deposit is due by Friday, Jan. 28. Forms can be picked up in the main office at the school. A remaining balance of $10 as well as a waiver form signed by a parent is due by March 1. Organizer Sally Hunley says the initial deposit must be made by Jan. 28 so that T-shirts and prizes can be ordered and so a specific number can be given to the host facility. This February, Project Graduation is bringing back the popular Halls High

Fashion Show, â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Night to Remember,â&#x20AC;? as a fundraiser. It will be held 7 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 22 and 8:35 a.m. Wednesday, Feb. 23. Cost is $5. Tickets will be sold at Halls High or by calling Sally Hunley, 925-1993. Tickets and seating are limited. Savvy Formal Wear, Bella Boutique and The Gilded Gown are the main donors for the fashion show. The businesses will also give a percentage of every fashion sale or rental to the school to offset student/parent costs for Advanced Placement exams. A portion of funds raised from the fashion show will also go toward the purchase of new curtains for the Halls Middle auditorium. Hunley said that Project Graduation has also received

a $1,200 donation from the Halls Crossroads Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s League and that the first Halls business to donate to the project was Bob Johnson Insurance. Individuals and businesses interested in giving donations for Project Graduation can do so through an account set up at Commercial Bank in Halls. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It does keep our seniors safe on graduation night,â&#x20AC;? Hunley says. According to a AAA statistic Hunley says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;More young people under the age of 21 are killed on Sterchi graduation night than all â&#x2013; PTA meeting will be 6 p.m. Monday, Jan. 10. other nights combined.â&#x20AC;?

Walking ‘through the friendly years’ Captain W.W. Woodruff Dr. Carter H. Jones, then minister at Atlanta’s Second Baptist Church and former minister of Knoxville’s First Baptist Church, was fishing with two fellow ministers one summer day but not catching anything.

Jim Tumblin

One of them proposed they pick an All-American “team” of deacons. Dr. Jones nominated Capt. W.W. Woodruff for his lifetime of service to the church and related the incident years later at Woodruff’s memorial service. Jones told of his first meeting with Capt. Woodruff just after he had been named pastor of First Baptist at only 27 years of age and of Woodruff’s unblemished character and service to his church and his community. William Wallace Woodruff was born at Bardstown, Ky., March 21, 1840, the son of Ezra and Katherine Woodruff (1810-1900) who had three sons, George H., Ezra Jr. and W.W. Young William Woodruff was educated in the Louisville, Ky., schools and soon found employment as a clerk in a mercantile establishment. With the firing on Fort Sumter on April 12, 1861, and President Abraham Lincoln’s subsequent call for volunteers, W.W. Woodruff knew what he had to do. He joined the Union Army as a member of the 13th Kentucky Volunteer Infantry. His education and his experience soon enabled him to assume the key position of Company D’s adjutant, the staff officer who writes the orders dictated by his superiors. Capt. Woodruff served with the 13th Kentucky as they fought at the Battle of Shiloh, Tenn., (April 6-7, 1862) and, after action throughout 1862 back in Kentucky around Louisville and Munfordville, joined in pursuing the evasive Gen. John Hunt Morgan’s Raiders. His unit then became part of Gen. Ambrose Burnside’s march over the rugged Cumberland Mountains for the campaign in eastern Tennessee (Aug. 16-Oct. 17, 1863). During the Siege of Knoxville (Nov. 17-Dec. 5, 1863) the 13th

MILESTONES Chase Gregory will celebrate his first birthday Jan. 5. His parents are Michelle and Rob Gregory. Chase has a sister, Gracie. Grandparents are Gloria Gregory, Pat Sisson and Robert Gregory, all of Halls.

Fontinalis Club will meet Thursday, Jan. 13, at Central Baptist Church of Fountain City, 5364 N. Broadway. Board meeting will begin at 9:30 a.m., coffee hour at 10 and the general meeting at 10:30. Ben Epperson will discuss “Healthy Kids, Healthy Community.”

Woodruff Mansion at 1401Cumberland Ave. The mansion was built in the 1870s on the large plat between Cumberland and White, now the site of the UT Hoskins Library. Photos courtesy C.M. McClung Historical Collection.

Kentucky was brigaded with Ohio, Michigan and Illinois units on the brow of Fort Hill overlooking Flag Pond at the far eastern end of the arc of fortifications surrounding downtown Knoxville. Woodruff would have heard the distant sound of the artillery as the 79th New York defended Fort Sanders during that ill-advised dawn attack by Gen. James Longstreet’s battle-scarred Confederates from the Army of Northern Virginia on Nov. 29. Longstreet suffered 800 casualties in only 20 minutes while Burnside’s casualties in the well-defended fort totaled only 13. Longstreet soon abandoned Knoxville and, after enduring one of the coldest winters in history in upper East Tennessee without adequate provisions, returned to the battlefields of Virginia leaving the city under Union control for the remainder of the war. The 13th Kentucky joined Gen. William T. Sherman’s grinding campaign through Georgia and was among the 100,000 Union soldiers who faced Gen. Joseph E. Johnston’s 70,000 Confederates at the Battle of Resaca, Ga. (May 14–15, 1864). They then accompanied Sherman to Kennesaw Mountain (June 27, 1864) and the Siege of Atlanta (July 22-Aug. 25, 1864). After a month of operations around Atlanta, Woodruff’s regi-

ment was ordered to return to Kentucky in September and was mustered out of the service in January 1865. Although the eventual surrender at Appomattox would not occur until April 12, 1865, it was obvious to those soldiers who had endured four years of war that the war was won and the Union had been preserved. Just mustered out of the service, a bearded young Capt. Woodruff met a friend named Snyder on the street in Louisville. Snyder asked, “Now that the war is over, what would you like to do?” Woodruff replied, “I’d like to go back to Knoxville; I like that country and the people there.” He opened a small store in the Fouche Building at the corner of Gay and Clinch on Jan. 20, 1865. The space was only 8 feet by 20 feet, but the business grew rapidly as farmers came from the surrounding counties to buy plows, harnesses and tools to help restore the damage caused by four years of war that had raged up and down the valley. More room was found in a new location at 624 S. Gay St. Woodruff soon needed still more room and a new store was erected in 1876

at the site familiar to Knoxvillians for many years, 424-426 S. Gay St. His always progressive business sense is illustrated by his action upon arrival of the People’s Telephone Co. in 1894. Woodruff installed the company’s first phone (#1) in the business and second at his home. “Call #1,” his ads said. On April 8, 1897, most of the businesses on the east side of the 300 and 400 blocks of Gay Street including Woodruff’s were destroyed in Knoxville’s “Million Dollar Fire.” An emergency call for assistance from the Chattanooga Fire Department had an amazing result. A special train delivered a ladder truck with chemicals and nine firefighters with 3,000 feet of hose, covering the 114 miles in 112 minutes. In spite of the supreme effort, three lives were lost and the Hotel Knox, where the fire started, and 24 other buildings were destroyed and 21 damaged. The rapid rebuilding was called miraculous but, by 1904, another fire had destroyed Woodruff’s and several

adjacent businesses. They again rebuilt and continued to grow. After more than a half century of service to his church and his community, Capt. W.W. Woodruff died at 85 years of age at his home at 1401 Cumberland Ave. on Jan. 31, 1926. His minister at First Baptist Church, the Rev. F.F. Brown, memorialized him with these words, “Quietly and steadily he has walked through the friendly years. His long life has been one of rich, fruitful service. We thank God for Capt. Woodruff – his presence (was) an inspiration and benediction to all.” He was buried in the family plat at Greenwood Cemetery. Having survived two disastrous fires and the panics of 1897 and 1907, Woodruff’s Hardware Store was now under the able leadership of the next generation, W.W. Woodruff Jr. It would survive the Great Depression and remain a stalwart Knoxville business until 1992 when its doors finally closed after the flight to the suburbs and the advent of the shopping mall.

Snoring is more than an annoyance. It’s a warning. Untreated sleep apnea can cause a myriad of problems including trouble concentrating, weight gain, impotency and headaches. The sudden decrease in oxygen levels that occurs with sleep apnea places a burden on the cardiovascular system, which must work harder in an attempt to deliver sufﬁcient oxygen to all tissues. This strain could cause the development of high blood pressure in approximately half of those suffering from sleep apnea, and this increases the risk of stroke and heart failure.

A good night’s sleep is on the way! Mercy Sleep Centers Mercy Health Partners is opening a brand new Sleep Center this month at Mercy South, located at 7323 Chapman Highway in South Knoxville. The center, which is one of ﬁve Mercy Sleep Centers in East Tennessee, will be staffed and equipped to evaluate and treat sleep/wake disorders in individuals of all ages—children to adults. “We can diagnose and begin treatment for many sleep problems in just one night,” says Dewey Y. McWhirter, M.D., medical director of Mercy Sleep Centers. Mercy Sleep Centers can treat the following sleep problems: · · · ·

Insomnia Obstructive sleep apnea Snoring Excessive daytime sleepiness

· · · ·

Restless leg syndrome Narcolepsy Sleepwalking and sleeptalking Severe nightmares

Based on the results of a sleep evaluation and/ or overnight sleep study, speciﬁc treatments will be recommended. “Mercy Sleep Centers offer a variety of treatment options for sleep problems,” Dr. McWhirter explains. “While a combination of behavioral counseling and medications may be the best approach for insomnia, other sleep disorders may require CPAP therapy or surgery. No matter the cause of the sleep problem, we are dedicated to ﬁnding a solution that is right for each patient.” The new Sleep Center at Mercy South is replacing the Sleep Center at Mercy Riverside. For more information, call Mercy Sleep Centers at 865-MHSLEEP (647-5337).

For the convenience of our patients, Mercy offers sleep services at ﬁve locations in Knox, Campbell and Jefferson Counties. Mercy Medical Center West 10820 Parkside Drive Knoxville, TN 37934 Mercy Ambulatory Care Center South 7323 Chapman Highway Knoxville, TN 37920

What child is this? And Jesus increased in wisdom and in years, and in divine and human favor. (Luke 2: 52 NRSV) Jesus is our childhood’s pattern; day by day, like us he grew; he was little, weak, and helpless, tears and smiles like us he knew; and he feeleth for our sadness, and he shareth in our gladness. (“Once in Royal David’s City,” Cecil Frances Alexander, 1848) The Gospel writers drive me crazy sometimes. They take us straight from Jesus as a baby in a manger to Jesus ready to begin his ministry at the age of 30. With the exception of Luke, who lifts the curtain on Jesus’ childhood just for a moment to give us that tiny glimpse of the Child in the Temple at the age of 12, we hear nothing about Jesus the boy. I understand that writing in those days was difficult and expensive. They didn’t have computers and printers and flash drives. They didn’t

Was he serious? Funloving? Pensive? What was he afraid of? What was his favorite food? Did he have a sweetheart? When did he begin to sense that he was special? Had his mother told him stories of shepherds and angels? A star and travelers from the East? When did he realize his destiny? How early did he feel the weight of his specialness? When did the first sense of foreboding arrive? I wonder about these things because the whole point of the Incarnation is that Jesus came to be with us, to be one of us, to be for us, as well as to be an example for us. I think it behooves us to consider the baby, the child, the teenager, the man. And I know it is helpful to remember what poet Cecil Alexander taught us: that “he feeleth for our sadness, and he shareth in our gladness.”

in the carpenter’s shop, the teen years. I wonder if he remembered anything about Egypt? Did he carry memories of the pyramids, the Sphinx, the Nile? How had Joseph and Mary explained that sojourn to him? I wonder what he thought about when he climbed to the rim of the cup that is Nazareth and looked out over the valley below. What did he dream of when he lay on the roof of the carpenter shop on a summer night and watched the stars wheeling above him? Who were his playmates? His friends? What games did they play? Did they play jokes on each other? What secrets did they share? Did he ever see snow? (Jerusalem lies on the same latitude as Brunswick, Ga., but it does occasionally snow in Israel.) Did he make up stories for his younger brothers and sisters (prelude to his mastery of the parable form)?

faith Remembering good people Barbara Asbury was a special lady that many people liked. We all enjoyed her articles in the Knoxville News Sentinel. She was a Central High School graduate and a UT graduate. She was with the News Sentinel from the late 1970s to 2004. She will be missed by her family, friends and readers. Rosa Irene Collins has gone to heaven to be with her husband and her family members who have gone before her. She was a loving mother, a member of Beaver Dam Baptist Church and a faithful wife. She enjoyed crocheting and making Christmas crafts for her family. Her family and friends will miss a loving, smiling lady. Patricia Jane Holman, age 67, went to heaven, leaving her husband, son and grandchildren. Jane was a member of Corryton Christian Fellowship, a devoted Christian and a career nurse for more than 20 years. It is not easy to say goodbye to a loved one.

Nutrition to the rescue

Food City partners with Healthy Living Kitchen to increase healthy choices By Natalie Lester

Jim and Betty Fox are the first of hopefully many success stories to come out of the Healthy Living Kitchen program at UT Medical Center. The couple lost almost 100 pounds in five years after their involvement in the Healthy Living Kitchen cooking classes. “We brought back information from the class and started trying to add food items to our diets.” Now, the Healthy Living Kitchen will expand its programs through a new partnership with Food City. Chief executives of the two companies announced their joint efforts at a lunch conference. “Food City teaches you how to buy healthy food and the Healthy Living Kitchen shows you how to prepare it,” explained Dr. Jerry Punch.

combined resources, we hope to increase the reach of both the NuVal and Healthy Living Kitchen.” UT Medical Center president Joe Landsman acknowledged how easy the decision was, because of the shared goals. “We knew we needed to serve our community and expand this educational program. We believe Food

City is uniquely equipped to help us enhance it.” The next cooking class will be offered in March. Smith said the partners would begin with the immediate area, but hope to expand their efforts in the future. “This is important to Knoxville, but it’s also im- Bill Gorman’s daughter Jane Kelly is a Cardiac Nurse Specialist portant for a lot of the out- who works the Healthy Living Kitchen.

Football overachievers It sure is fun trying to determine where Nick Reveiz fits among Tennessee’s alltime overachievers. I’ve been working on this for years. Nick and I go back a long ways. I voted for him when the Greater Knoxville Sports Hall of Fame selection committee was choosing a prep player of the year 2006. He won and looked sharp in a tux. At Farragut High, Nick was really strong in citizenship, wrestling and football. Good student. Exemplary character. Polite. Considerate. Refined. Tough guy, too. He wanted to be a college linebacker. Alas, he was too short. And maybe too slow. Coaches all over America agreed. Nobody – nobody – offered him a scholarship. You know what happened. He defied the odds and fooled a bunch of us. He walked on at Tennessee. He hit famous Vols so hard, Phillip Fulmer felt compelled to call him down. Cool it, kid, you’re going to hurt somebody. In private confusion, Reveiz wept. At 5-8 and a fraction, playing hard was all he had. You know what else happened. Nick made the team. In kick coverage, he knocked opponents for a loop. He moved up a notch and got to play some defense. He became a starting linebacker. He overcame the despair and pain of a terrible 2009 knee injury. He led the 2010 team in tackles. He led it in heart and soul and closing comments: “I know I gave Tennessee everything I had. I worked as hard as I could and there’s no way I can look back and say there’s anything else I could have done.” Reveiz said there was no other place in the world he would have rather been than at Tennessee, playing football. “It meant the world to me. I’m all Vol and just very blessed.” Trusting memory, Nick was the first former walkon to become a captain since J.J. McCleskey in ’92. So, where does Nick rank among overachievers? Cody and Cory Sullins went from career scrimmage resistance to firstteam offensive linemen in 2009. Billy Ratliff does not fit the typical format but he didn’t have a lot of recruiting stars by his name back in Magnolia, Miss. His over-

‘Rough night’ for Halls wrestlers By Ken Lay Halls High School wrestling coach Shannon Sayne knew his young squad might be in for a long night when Kingsport Dobyns-Bennett and Science Hill invaded North Knox County. Sayne was right. The Red Devils dropped a 54-20 decision to the Indians and fell to the Hilltoppers 69-6 before a packed house at Halls High School. Science Hill, ranked 18th in the latest Tennessee wrestling poll, surrendered just one match to the Red Devils. Halls picked up its lone win when 171-pounder Connor Rohrbaugh pinned Matt Stall in 1 minute, 41 seconds. The Hilltoppers claimed 11 matches via either pin or forfeit. Science Hill also picked up decisions at 103, 112 and 140 pounds. In the 103-pound division, Gary Hughes outlasted Tanner Justice 6-5. At 112, Derrick Sutherland downed Gage Gruea 7-2. Javier Tapia beat Zane Robertson 7-1 in the 140-pound bout. The Red Devils didn’t have much better luck against the Indians, who also have a top team in Region 1-3A. At 103, Justice picked up a forfeit victory for Halls. The Red Devils also got a technical fall victory when Robertson notched a 16-0 win in the 140-pound match. Cruea recorded a pin at 112.

’Canes work overtime for tournament title By Ken Lay The Holston Middle School girls basketball team has emerged as a competitive force in the Knox County Middle School Basketball Conference this season. The Hurricanes also enjoyed some success over the recent holiday break. Holston, which has conference victories over Cedar Bluff, Powell and Carter this year, recently captured the Farragut Tournament championship. The Hurricanes won the title in dramatic fashion with a 32-30 overtime victory over the host Admirals on Dec. 30. Holston overcame a 2823 deficit as Hope Hopson nailed a pair of shots to force the contest into overtime. She hit a long-range 3-pointer and converted another shot to score the last five points of regulation. Hopson also converted a crucial 3-pointer in the extra frame to lift the Hurricanes to victory. “It was a good game. It was tight the whole way,” ‘Canes coach Todd Atkins said. “They pulled away a little bit but we found a way to win.” Holston notched the victory despite Farragut’s defensive effort against Hayley Cavalaris, one of the team’s

more precise shooters and potent offensive weapons. Cavalaris is the cousin of Farragut coach Chris Cavalaris. Early in the tournament, it didn’t appear that the Hurricanes were going to be a factor. They lost 28-7 to Lenoir City-North. “Looking back on it, that was just one of those games that you have after a week of not doing anything,” Atkins said. “I was really pleased with the way that the girls rebounded after that.” And rebound they did. Holston reached the championship game with lopsided victories over Harriman (3820) and conference rival West Valley (23-10). Hope Hopson, Hannah Hopson and Cavalaris were named to the All-Tournament team. Atkins added that the team also received significant contributions from 6th grade starting point guard Jaquasha Hines and post player Alaeni Ray. Ray was a force on the glass and Hines scored six points in the title game. Holston and Farragut will meet again Tuesday in East Knoxville in a crucial midseason league game. The Admirals boast the lone perfect conference record. Tip-off time is 4:30 p.m.

ceive some butt whoopings. “Science Hill is ranked 18th in the state and we’re privileged to have them come down here and wrestle against us.” Halls returns to the mat Tuesday at Pigeon Forge against the Tigers and Powell. Action begins at 6:30 p.m. The Red Devils will host the Halls Invitational on Jan. 15.

achievement was in never giving up. Ratliff endured three reconstructive knee surgeries. He had a terrifying spinal cord injury and lost all feeling in his body for several hours. He made the winning play against Arkansas in the national championship season of 1998. The next year, as a senior, Billy suffered a fractured leg against Auburn. He was finally finished but he didn’t give up. He was a captain. He came to the sideline on crutches. He wore his helmet. Others got the message. Never say die. Chris White was an overachiever or a very late discovery. He came from Cleveland as a walk-on and, to tell the truth, I didn’t really notice him until he was a fifth-year senior. In 1985, White made his first career start, safety in the opener against UCLA, as an injury replacement. Three interceptions later, he had a regular job. He picked off six more that season to lead the NCAA. He had a whole bunch of tackles and three fumble recoveries. He was honored as an All-American. He didn’t think of himself as an overachiever. He thought he could have been doing it all along. Overachievers always exceed expectations. Daryl Dickey? Bill Bates? Jim Maxwell? Tim Townes was the ultimate. He came from Bearden as a 168-pound walk-on.

Not very big. Not very fast. Nobody offered him anything. “Other than that, I thought I had a pretty good chance.” He arrived in the Doug Dickey era. He was fifthteam strong safety – on the freshman team. Townes recalls praying that he might do his best and if that was good enough, fantastic. If it wasn’t, at least he would know he had tried. Tim made it. He was a hitter. He became a starter. I thought he was a co-star. One play remains symbolic of his career. A Georgia Tech tight end, 270 pounds, caught a pass behind a linebacker and in front of Tim Terrific. “I got a pretty good head of steam and make a good hit.” Indeed he did. The giant tight end fell backwards, took a long time getting up and wobbled off in the wrong direction, into the Tennessee defensive huddle. Years later, Steve Sloan, former offensive coordinator at Tech, and Gary Wyant, former Vol secondary coach, were discussing that spectacular 1972 knockout. Sloan asked Wyant: “Who was that cold-blooded killer?” The killer became a lifesaver. Townes received three degrees from UT, including a master’s in zoology and a doctorate in microbiology. As chair of the biochemistry and molecular genetics department at the University of Alabama-Birmingham, he is a world-renowned tackler of cancer and, specifically, sickle cell anemia. There are other Tim Townes stories in Marvin West’s first book, “Tales of the Tennessee Vols.” Signed copies are available from WESTCOM, P.O. Box 28, Maynardville, TN 37807. The cost is $20.

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

Managing her migraines is a must for Norris woman Sandy Pfeiler knows the blistering pain of migraines all too well. The 58-year -old Norris woman has suffered from the head-splitting malady since she was a teenager. Her years of occasional migraines suddenly became a daily agony following a total hysterectomy in 2001. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When my hormones changed, my migraines just blew up!â&#x20AC;? explains Pfeiler. An estrogen patch she wore for the next ďŹ ve years helped the migraines abate somewhat, but when she stopped wearing the patch the migraines returned and intensiďŹ ed. Pfeiler says the headaches made it difďŹ cult to concentrate and function at her job as a budget ofďŹ cer. The migraines, combined with other health issues, forced Pfeiler to retire. After her long-time physician retired, a friend recommended that Pfeiler consult with neurologist and headache specialist Dr. Henry Hooker of Fort Sanders Neurology Associates. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I started seeing Dr. Hooker, I was having migraines ďŹ ve or six times a week,â&#x20AC;? says Pfeiler. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The migraines were often lasting more than 24 hours, going on for days. It was terrible.â&#x20AC;? Dr. Hooker quickly made Pfeiler a partner in the painstaking task of identifying the causes of her migraines. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I kept a detailed diary of each migraine episode â&#x20AC;&#x201C; how long it lasted, what I ate 12 hours before, what I did to stop the pain and whether I experienced other symptoms like nausea or seeing an aura,â&#x20AC;? says Pfeiler. Pfeiler says Dr. Hooker also gave her homework to do. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He has patients read a lot of material about migraines. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really an extensive education process.â&#x20AC;? Over the past year, Dr. Hooker and Pfeiler have worked together to ďŹ nd medications and treatment that help her more effectively manage her migraines. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a team effort. Dr. Hooker has

Not all headaches are created equal

Migraine treatment at Fort Sanders Neurology Associates has helped make life more enjoyable for Sandy Pfeiler. been willing to listen and look at the whole picture of me. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re partners in ďŹ guring out why I get migraines and what, for me, is the best way to prevent and control them.â&#x20AC;? Pfeiler is happy to report that over the recent holidays, she went a record ďŹ ve days without experiencing a migraine. She acknowledges

that controlling the migraines will be an ongoing effort. She says for migraine sufferers, ďŹ nding a physician who is a partner in your care is important. For information about the Knoxville Headache Center at Fort Sanders Neurology Associates, call (865) 541-4321.

More than 90 percent of adults get a headache every now and then. But for the 25 percent of women and 15 percent of men who get chronic or severe headaches, it can be a painful and frustrating condition. Fortunately, headache patients donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to suffer in silence, says neurologist Dr. Henry Hooker of Fort Sanders Neurology Associates and the Knoxville Headache Center. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to know there is hope. Chronic headaches are a very pervasive problem, often undertreated and underdiagnosed, so patients need to know they are not alone.â&#x20AC;? While some headaches are caused by a speciďŹ c physical problem like a pinched nerve or pulled muscle in the neck or shoulder, migraine headaches are often without a speciďŹ c cause â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and often misdiagnosed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Migraines are a chronic condition you have to think about like diabetes,â&#x20AC;? explains Dr. Hooker. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They can be managed, if not necessarily cured.â&#x20AC;? However, according to Dr. Hooker, an accurate diagnosis is the first step. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With each new headache patient we conduct a careful physical and patient history, with imaging (MRI or CT scan) of the brain.â&#x20AC;? If the headache is caused by another physical problem, like a misaligned vertebra or muscle spasm, treatment usually begins with physical therapy. Patients learn more about posture, exercise and the alignment of their spine,â&#x20AC;? Dr. Hooker says. Headaches not associated with a physical malady require further investigation to determine their cause. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Migraines

are often triggered by foods, stresses and lifestyle habits that can be changed,â&#x20AC;? Dr. Hooker explains. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Establish a good sleep routine, a good exercise routine, a good diet. These three things are key to preventing migraines.â&#x20AC;? While medications can help alleviate headache pain, they can also offer their own set of problems long-term. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the most common types of headaches I see is caused by overuse of medication,â&#x20AC;? says Dr. Hooker. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can actually make a headache worse with overuse of analgesics, anti-inďŹ&#x201A;ammatory drugs and opiates. Your pain will not get better until you get off the pain pills.â&#x20AC;? Weaning off pain medication is difficult, says Dr. Hooker, and might require hospitalization. But in the end, patients can feel better and live healthier lives. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to know that treating headaches is completely different than treating other pain,â&#x20AC;? says Dr. Hooker. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But with an accurate diagnosis and proper education, there is hope for headache pain.â&#x20AC;? For more information about diagnosing and treating headaches and migraines, call Knoxville Neurology Associates at (865) 541-4321.

Physical therapy for headache relief Just before Christmas last year, Jobina Rimmer of Knoxville leaned over to kiss her 2-year-old daughter and felt a familiar sharp pain in her neck. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I felt it pinch, and all of a sudden my neck wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t move,â&#x20AC;? says 35-year-old Rimmer, who has experienced headaches, neck, shoulder and arm pain for more than a decade. She immediately called physical therapist Stephen Karp at Fort Sanders Therapy Center, where she had been a patient before. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had more than just headaches over the years,â&#x20AC;? explains Rimmer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had whiplash from two car accidents, and I fell on my arm and jammed my neck out of line in 2007. So, I knew I was going to need help. I called Stephen,

and fortunately he worked me in within 48 hours.â&#x20AC;? Karp specializes in chronic neck pain and headaches and is manager of the Therapy Center located on the Fort Sanders campus. He is well known in the medical community for being able to resolve some of the most difďŹ cult cases for patients in a short period of time. Rimmer says Karp performed gentle joint movements in her neck, and he also used heat and deep tissue massage on the area to relieve the muscle spasm. Then he coached her on a series of exercises to strengthen her neck and shoulder muscles and talked with her about sleeping positions and good posture. The Fort Sanders Therapy Center treats all kinds of conditions,

but people are often surprised how beneďŹ cial physical therapy can be for headaches as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last year I had quite a few headache patients,â&#x20AC;? explains Karp. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d say most of them had postural problems that were totally resolved with physical therapy.â&#x20AC;? Karp works closely with neurologists to assure their treatments are complementary. After just a week of treatment, Rimmer said she felt better already. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can turn my head and look over my shoulder already. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any pain yesterday, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m feeling great.â&#x20AC;?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true, you know. If you looked up â&#x20AC;&#x153;worryâ&#x20AC;? in the dictionary, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d probably find my picture. I hear it runs in my family, but I know that worry is part of the mommy job description. Since the day Daniel was born, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve worried about everything from diaper rash to future ACT scores. And, while Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not a bathe-them-in-hand-sanitizer or clothe-them-inbubble-wrap mom, I have more than my fair share of concerns that make my husband raise his eyebrows and shake his head. I worry that Daniel is color blind because he sometimes mixes up red and green. The fact that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just started learning colors in the last few months doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop me from fretting. I worry that his refusal to use a pillow in bed will result in neck problems. Because he canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tolerate milk, I worry about what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll do at other kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; birthday parties for the next decade. Will having to skip the ice cream take some kind of toll on his psyche? Will he feel left out? Whose genetics are to blame: mine or his dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s? I worry that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take the paci with him to college and that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to pack his ki-

moms101 ki blanket for his honeymoon. I worry that buying him a Star Wars lightsaber is fostering some kind of violent tendencies. Maybe it will lead to him holding up a liquor store while dressed as Darth Vader. But, my worst worry by far is about choking hazards. Even when I see other kids his age happily eating whole grapes, my fingers itch to cut Danielâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s into halves. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a worrier to do? Meditation and breathing exercises may help you, but I have to keep reminding myself that bad things will happen no matter how I try to prevent them. If it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a life devoid of ice cream, there would be another childhood trauma for Daniel to write soulful poetry about when heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 20. And I confess, I toted a ki-ki blanket to college, and I think I turned out OK. Contact Shannon Carey at shannon@ ShopperNewsNow.com.

Since 1988, Rotary International and its partners in the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the World Health Organization, UNICEF, and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention â&#x20AC;&#x201C; have worked to wipe polio from the face of the earth. When Rotary began its eradication work, polio infected more than 350,000 children annually. In 2009, fewer than 1,700 cases were reported worldwide. But the polio cases represented by that ďŹ nal 1 percent are the most difďŹ cult and expensive to prevent. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so important to generate the funding needed to End Polio Now. To fail is to invite a polio resurgence that would condemn millions of children to lifelong paralysis in the years ahead.

The bottom line is this: As long as polio threatens even one child anywhere in the world, all children â&#x20AC;&#x201C; wherever they live â&#x20AC;&#x201C; remain at risk.

Helping seniors cut prescription costs AMOS offers free info, individual advising By Jake Mabe Senior citizens looking for help with the high cost of prescription drugs can get some help through AMOS – Affordable Medicine Options for Seniors. AMOS is a free service at the Knoxville-Knox County CAC Office on Aging that helps the city and county’s seniors find lower cost options for medicines. AMOS provides an information telephone hotline, individual advising by appointment, presentations to groups, information mailed to the home and training for professionals and community volunteers. AMOS manager David Holden gave an hourlong presentation at the Halls Senior Center last week highlighting the two Medicare choices, changes to Medicare in 2011 and information about the Medicare Part D prescription drug coverage. Among the highlights: ■ Choosing whether to enroll in the original Medicare (the public option) or with a private-option Medi-

Patients who confuse the two sometimes give doctor’s offices the wrong information, causing the bill to be sent to the wrong place, which in turn causes payment to be denied. ■ For Knox County residents in 2011, 16 or more various Medicare Advantage plans are offered by a handful of private insurance companies.

benefits. “If you don’t read the fine print, you may discover what you need is not in the plan,” Holden says. Summit Medical Group in Knox County, for example, accepts Medicare Advantage plans from one insurance company – Humana. ■ Holden says that patients who buy Medicare Advantage plans that offer zero monthly premiums “can’t expect to get the best benefits in the world.”

■ Which way is better? Holden says without hesitation that the best option is to pick the original public option Medicare and add the Part D prescription drug coverage and a Type F Medigap Supplement Insurance if you can afford it. ■ Holden encourages Medicare users with Part D coverage to plan ahead if you think you might reach the so-called Doughnut Hole. “Start using a strategy to use your insurance in the best, smartest way you can,” perhaps buying cheaper, generic medicines some other way and saving the insurance for more expensive medicines. Holden says price calculations are based on the total cost of coverage. ■ New this year: Brand name drugs bought during the Doughnut Hole receive a 50 percent rebate, as opposed to generic drugs, which receive only a 7 percent rebate. Holden says the federal government has promised that the Doughnut Hole will gradually diminish by 2020. But, he says, “How are they going to do that? I don’t know.” Call AMOS at 524-2786.

Heiskell seniors to get tax tips The Heiskell Community Center’s seniors program will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 13, at the center, located at 9420 Heiskell Road. This month’s speaker will be Knox Williams from the Knox County Trustee’s office. He will be speaking on tax freeze and tax relief options for seniors 65 and older. Williams will be available to help with applications and answer any questions about qualifying for the program. Anyone wishing to apply should bring proof of all household income (2009 tax return), proof of age, and, if living in a mobile home, bring a copy of the title or bill of sale. Lunch will be homemade hot tamales, chili and a salad bar. Info: Janice White, 548-0326, or Liz Jett, 938-8845.

Top 10 ways to meet your weight loss goals in 2011: By Nicole Yarbrough, Executive Fitness Manager, Mercy Health and Fitness

1. Make exercise part of the normal dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s routine. Aim to do a minimum of 20-30 minutes everyday or 45-60 minutes most days of the week. Pack your gym bag and hit the gym on the way to or from work. Schedule it in your calendar. Be consistent at least three days a week and it will truly become part of your routine.

2. Set realistic short term goals and avoid yearlong resolutions. It is easier to stick to exercise programs and reach exercise goals when measurable changes can be seen, so have a fitness evaluation every three to six months. The results can help you set realistic goals enabling you to make a more effective plan to meet those goals.

3. Exercise with a friend or join a group with similar goals. Group fitness classes and small group training allow direction of a fitness professional for reasonable prices. Mercy Health & Fitness Center offers more than 85 hours a week of group fitness classes and small group training programs like Training for Life. Keep exercise effective, social and fun.

4. Try something new. Break up your current fitness program by doing a different type of cardio each day or circuit train by alternating bouts of cardio and weights. Shock your system and avoid the insanity many face with their programs. If you do the same program you did last year and the year before, you should expect the same results. Variety is imperative to seeing results with exercise. Especially every six to eight weeks, your program should have changes.

Members participate in both water and land classes at Mercy Health and Fitness

5. Strength training is an important necessity in a fitness routine and the best way to improve your metabolism. Creating more muscle in the body increases the bodies need for calories. You can build lean muscle giving the body the shape you want without adding mass and size to the body. A few sessions with a personal trainer can help you feel confident that the workout you are doing is specific to your health history and your fitness goals.

6. Modify your current meal plan to 9. Give yourself a break and realize include five to nine servings of fruit that, with any exercise program, getting fit and losing weight wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be an immediate result. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to and vegetables every day. Fruits and expect that some days will feel harder than others and

vegetables help you stay full-feeling for longer because of their fiber content. This should also help you eat less fat in your meals.

7. Drink water. People sometimes confuse

10. Eat several mini-meals during the day while keeping in mind that your stomach

Keeping your portions reasonable will help you get more in touch with your feelings of hunger and fullness. You can also enjoy your favorite foods, but practice moderation. Small meals every three to four hours can improve your ability to control your appetite and prevent binging or overeating.
