New rabbi

The first time Rabbi Mathew Michaels spoke to the Temple Beth El congregation, he invoked “the rule of three.” He asked members to refrain from commenting on his teaching until they’d been exposed to it three times. He wanted them to be open to having a new experience.

Youth lead service Bible Way Baptist Church, located in Karns off Oak Ridge Highway east of Ingles at 7004 Wright Road, held its first youth Sunday allowing the children an opportunity to lead the church in worship, except for the message brought by Michael Blakly. Teresa Davis is the main youth leader who coordinated the day and plans to make this a regular event. “We will probably have a youth Sunday once each five weeks,” she said. “But I warned them it will be all different next time.” environment.”

Chuy’s works with neighbors on sign Chuy’s, the Tex-Mex restaurant that opened this week at the new Kroger Marketplace on Kingston Pike at Cedar Bluff Road, has already proved itself a good neighbor, voluntarily limiting the height of its sign. What else would you expect of a company that advertises: “Expanding like the King – An Elvis shrine at every location”?

By Anne Hart Roger Kane was out running the roads before the sun was up the morning after he won the Republican primary in the state’s new 89th District of Karns, Hardin Valley, Solway, West Haven and parts of Norwood. “Got to get all my signs down. We want to keep these neighborhoods looking good,” he said as he talked on his cellphone while pulling up campaign signs along Clinton Highway. Kane said he celebrated with his supporters until about 1 a.m., caught a few hours of shut-eye, did a radio interview shortly after 7 a.m. and then hit the roads to go after those signs and thank supporters along the way. And about that win over former

Knox County Sheriff Tim Hutchison, William “Bo” Pierce and Joey McCulley? Kane says no one was more surprised that he was at the results. “Every poll we did showed Tim winning. I felt like I was in a David and Goliath race and I was a really skinny David.” Kane’s campaign consultant, Jacob Swisher, senior advisor with GovAim Inc., believes the approximately 5,000 phone calls made in the 72 hours before election day may have turned the race in Kane’s favor. “We did the phone calls in addition to mailers and the usual things,” Swisher says. “This was a very important election.” “Those were real people on the phones – volunteers,” Kane adds.

“They answered questions from voters up until the last minute.” Although active in his community, both in his work in insurance sales and financial consulting and in volunteer activities, Kane ran a strong grassroots effort. “Every Wednesday night for many months I have had people around the dining room table in my home. Volunteers have spent Saturdays knocking on doors for me all over the district, and we have been at every event encouraging people to vote. “On election day we had people at every single polling place asking for votes. I think that made a big difference, too. Many people don’t make up their minds who to vote for until they get to the polls.”

Because there was no Democratic candidate in the race, Kane’s campaigning for this election cycle is over. He says he’ll spend the next few months going to Nashville “to see what is in the pipeline and start carving out my goals and desires for the district. Frankly, I think we have too many laws that are burdensome to the business owner. I want to see what we can eliminate.” He says he’s also looking forward to spending some time with his family, most of whom weren’t in town for election day. Except for son Tim, they were all in Houston watching daughter Hope win gold and silver medals in twirling at the Junior Olympics. There will be lots to celebrate when the Kane family is all together again.

McGhee Tyson’s 75th anniversary On July 29, many gathered to celebrate McGhee Tyson Airport’s 75th anniversary with the dedication of a time capsule to be opened in 25 years, a living history “wax museum” of famous characters, plus games and activities for children. The event coordinator was Becky Huckaby, a Hardin Valley resident who also teaches a communication class at King College.

Theresa Edwards

Huckaby placed several items in the time capsule as MKAA board chair Howard Vogel described the items. Included were: a DVD of a flash mob of airport employees dancing, an aerial map of the airport, a complimentary kit of 2-ounce plastic bottles, a small rocking chair hand-carved by George Hunley Snowden (grandfather of airport employee Beth Snowden Baker and Jim Snowden, deputy director of Knox County Engineering and Public Works) along with a 1937 photograph he took the day the airport opened, a plaque containing a silver medallion marker with the GPS coordinates where the time capsule would be placed, a schematic signed by Airfield Maintenance of the new airfield maintenance building to be erected this year, plus letters placed personally by U.S. Rep. John Duncan Jr. and County Mayor Tim Burchett. Finally, a photographer added a picture of the crowd to the time capsule. President Bill Marrison thanked everyone present. The theme was “75 Years of Making Memories.” He emphasized, “Your memories!” “This airport has a tremendous impact on our community,” said Marrison. “We have over 2,500 employees here. We provide safe, accessible air travel opportunities to 16 countries and over 10 million people over the years. In all, this airport has over $600 million a year in economic impact on the community.” Deputy Mayor Eddie Mannis praised the airport’s promotion of job creation and retention. “It helps recruit business and encourage existing businesses to expand,” he said. “This airport also makes this region accessible to tourists who come and spend their dollars, ultimately pumping money into our local economy.” ■

Margot Kline, who had a different idea. Long active in the community – and a skilled negotiator in zoning and other matters of interest to homeowners – Kline is president of the Council of West Knox County Homeowners. She is most passionate about sign clutter along Kingston Pike, so when it was announced that Chuy’s was headed to the Pike, Kline began conversations with Biller about lowering the height of his sign. She assured him the public would have no trouble finding the restaurant at its new location with a shorter sign. Biller agreed, and the sign at the new establishment tops out at only 10 feet – 15 feet shorter than MPC would have allowed. But that’s not the end of the story. Kline and Biller continued to correspond, and when the time neared for a pre-opening VIP party, Biller asked Kline for the names of a few people “who are involved in neighborhood leadership” so they could be a part of the celebration. Kline had at the top of her guest list City Council member Duane Grieve and County Commissioner Tony Norman, in whose district Chuy’s is located. Among others on Kline’s list: Oliver Smith, Realtor for the Sherrill Hill property, under development near Chuy’s on the other side of the Pike. “We fought Oliver on his Sherrill Hill sign, but he is always willing to lis-

So here’s what happens when things are done the right way: A vice president of a big-time restaurant chain listens to a calm, reasoned presentation of what its new neighbors would like

to see happen in their community, and even though he doesn’t have to do it their way, he graciously acquiesces. Do you think an appreciative community will embrace this new restaurant? Bet on it. Contact annehartsn@aol.com

Here comes the surplus, drip … drip Congratulations to Chris Caldwell, Knox County’s new finance director. Chris and this writer have engaged in a war of words and numbers for which there is no clear winner. But Chris is a bright young guy who will serve Knox County well. Mayor Tim Burchett made a good choice. In a brief interview, Chris reiterated that no one knows what the county’s surplus will be until the numbers are in. And he said if it’s $17.3 million, well, he might take me to lunch. You can call me hardheaded or even bone-headed, but you can’t say I don’t dig at an issue until I’m satisfied. Here’s where I’ve landed on the “surplus.” First, our numbers were right. Knox County already has collected $17.3 million more in revenues than it budgeted for the fiscal year that ended June 30. Schools: By agreement, 72.2 percent of the sales tax

Sandra Clark goes straight to schools (it’s a bit less from the town of Farragut, but that’s another story). The money goes into the school system’s fund balance until it’s spent. And the spending process entails a recommendation by the superintendent, approval by the school board, and approval by the county commission. Last week, school officials projected a $6.6 million surplus, and that could grow. Hopefully, the school board, superintendent and commission will use it to fund one-time items listed in the budget that county commission failed to fund earlier this year. Raises: The commission

sometimes spends money during the year. We’re still digging on this, but one major item was the mid-year 3 percent raise for employees under the sheriff and mayor. Caldwell estimated the cost for a half year (January through June) at $1.5 million. So, to answer Commissioner Richard Briggs who asked: “Where did this surplus go?” we’ve now got somebody besides this writer to account for $6.6 million plus $1.5 million. That’s $8.1 million down and $9.2 million to go. And there’s a lunch with Chris on the line.

A disappointing loss is at Whittle Springs Middle School where Dr. Jill Hobby has resigned for personal reasons. Dr. Elizabeth Alves is the interim replacement for Assistant Superintendent Dr. Donna Wright who departed for a similar job in a smaller system near Nashville. Two important appointments were announced earlier and became effective July 1.

He joined Knox County Schools in 1990 as a math teacher at Farragut Middle School. He served as an assistant principal at Bearden Middle from 199499. His doctorate is from UT. Rysewyk, formerly principal at Fulton High School, has replaced Davis as supervisor of secondary education. He joined Knox County Schools in 2002 as a science teacher at Karns High School after serving previously as a science teacher in the Roane County Schools. He was appointed

assistant principal at Fulton High in 2004 and as principal in 2008. His doctorate is from East Tennessee State University.

Obamonomics Finance guru Andrew Tobias, who frequently writes for Parade Magazine, posted this on his blog: “Had you invested $10,000 in the S&P 500 under just Republican presidents for the 40 or so years that they controlled the White House since 1929, that $10,000 would have grown to … $11,733. Had you invested that same $10,000 for the 40 years since 1929 that Democrats controlled the White House prior to the election of President Obama, it would have grown to $300,671. “Pop quiz: which is more? “And that $300,671 was before President Obama took office. The S&P is up 38 percent since then – which turns that $300,671 into $415,000.”

Never give up – never You want leadership? Elect Herman Lathers. ■ Courage in crisis. ■ Experience in disaster management. ■ Sound judgment. ■ Sense of direction. The vote should be unanimous. Tennessee football needs Herman Lathers. Herm is a big fellow. He has been tested by fire. He really, really wants to be a winning Volunteer. He does not project as a first-round draft choice but he has earned the respect of teammates. He is long past childhood. From my perspective, Herman Lathers is an inspiration, the sort of story the Vol Network or FCA or NCAA could make into a movie for the benefit of all football. And the world.

Marvin West

The theme is never give up. Never. Lathers, 22, made it from Baton Rouge to where he is, UT graduate, senior linebacker, old man’s body, unofficial commander in chief, without a lot of socalled advantages. No easy street. No silver spoon. No daddy on duty. Childhood was marred by five years of bone cancer and many, many injections.

Happy heart took a hit in high school. He could play but LSU didn’t want him. Tennessee did. Herman reminded John Chavis of John Chavis. Defy the odds. Prove everybody wrong. Just do it. Achieve and exceed all expectations. Lathers did not get off to a great start. The routine physical discovered a blood disorder, maybe thrombocytopenia. Out with the spleen. Ask a doctor for details. Herman became a 2008 redshirt and was not a factor in the Fulmer staff exit. Lathers recovered. In middle-late 2009, injuries to others created an opening and he became a starter. He played well. In 2010, he was second in

Prayer at City Council Sorry to have been absent with a column the past two Mondays. I had a bum right hip replaced on July 16 under the skilled direction of Dr. Brian Edkin at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center and the hospital staff. Recovery was not as fast as I had anticipated (which is not surprising), but I am now home and doing out-patient therapy. It is truly amazing what medicine can do today, and I am most fortunate to receive terrific care helped by a caring wife, Joan, and daughter, Martha. While media attention has focused on how County Commission handles prayer at the start of its meetings, this has not gone unobserved by city attorneys. When I was mayor, then council member Ivan Harmon gave the invocation. Then council member Barbara Pelot gave the invocation for eight years. Now it is rotated among those of the

nine council members who wish to give the opening prayer: Daniel Brown, Mark Campen, Nick Della Volpe and George Wallace. This writer has learned that council attorney Rob Frost and city Law Director Charles Swanson are seeking to avoid a potential lawsuit on this issue and have advised the council members as to what words might trigger litigation. ■ Mayors Rogero and Burchett have named new members to the Metropolitan Planning Commission. However, these five persons must be approved by the State Planning Commission before they actually

tackles. He endured a few hurts but fought through the pain. The damaged shoulder required repairs after the bowl game. That cost spring practice. More troubles loomed. The first day of medical clearance, early June 2011, volunteer workout, seven on seven, collision in pursuit of a pass, cleats stuck in turf, terrible ankle fracture. Great physicians Greg Mathien and Russell Betcher inserted a metal plate and a bunch of screws, nine little ones and two big, ugly twisters. Herman Lathers woke up wondering why me, Lord? He felt sorry for himself. He wept. For the fi rst time in his life, he thought about quitting. Maybe it wasn’t worth it. He found solace in his faith that God never lays more on you than you can

start to serve. The commission lacks a quorum until Gov. Bill Haslam names new members and will not be able to approve these appointees until a quorum is serving and able to meet. ■ South Knoxville, which previously had no representation on the MPC, now has two members as both mayors appointed South Knox residents. ■ Art Clancy, who was not re-appointed by Mayor Rogero, was appointed to a one-year term by Mayor Burchett so he will continue on MPC for another year. Clancy’s mother, the incomparable Sue Clancy, celebrated her 80th birthday on July 31 with events at both Cheskepeake’s and The Orangery. Sue led Knoxville’s Bicentennial Celebration in 1991. ■ Eyebrows were raised when financial disclosures showed Mayor Rogero had donated to Democratic state representative candidate Anthony Hancock. It is not a surprise that Rogero, a Democrat, is supporting a Democrat but often mayors

somehow handle. Nick Reveiz said there might be a higher purpose for struggles, that how he managed the mess might be a message for others. Bingo!

avoid an actual donation. It will be interesting to see if Rogero personally gives to other Democratic legislative candidates. Hancock is considered the underdog in the race against Steve Hall. ■ Rogero carefully avoided taking sides in the controversy over closing Belle Morris precinct by the Knox County Election Commission which Democratic candidate Gloria Johnson has made an issue. The Gary Loe vs. Gloria Johnson race will be the most contested House race in Knox County this November. ■ Roger Kane defeated two better-know candidates in the GOP primary for state representative. He had the quiet but active backing of state Rep. Bill Dunn. It is unlikely former Sheriff Tim Hutchison will be a candidate in the immediate future given his second place finish to Kane coming on top of his lopsided loss to Tim Burchett in 2010. Many had thought his better name recognition would win the nomination for him in a four-way race, but it did not.

Lathers adjusted his attitude. He found blessings to count. He was alive. He could walk, well, hobble. He realized others faced trials and tribulations, some worse. Lathers was an untitled assistant coach last season, in meetings, at practices, keep going guys, you can do it. Teammates teased him about being old and just standing around, drawing unemployment checks, looking to Medicare. This spring he resumed combat, tentatively at first, then out front. This summer he called the group to order, study more video, grasp the vision, choose unity, build a house, climb a mountain, raft a river. Other Vols said he is the general. That’s good enough. He gets my endorsement. Elect Lathers. There is a need. Marvin West invites reader reaction. His address is westwest6y@netzero.com.

Caldwell to head finance Chris Caldwell has been appointed finance director for Knox County by Mayor Tim Burchett. Caldwell has worked for the Finance Department for 10 years. “Chris has done an outstanding job as interim finance director and has Chris Caldwell proven that he is fully capable of serving in that position on a permanent basis,” said Burchett. A native of Jacksboro, Caldwell graduated magna cum laude from Lincoln Memorial University and earned a master’s degree in business from Bellevue University. He will earn $120,000. Caldwell began working for Knox County as an accountant in June 2002. He worked his way up to the position of accounting and budget director, and has been serving as interim finance director since April.

The storms of life When evening came, his disciples went down to the sea, got into a boat, and started across the sea to Capernaum. It was now dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them. The sea became rough because a strong wind was blowing. When they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and coming near the boat, and they were terrified. But he said to them, “It is I; do not be afraid.” (John 6: 16-20 NRSV) When the storms of life are raging, stand by me; When the storms of life are raging, stand by me. When the world is tossing me, like a ship upon the sea, Thou who rulest wind and water, stand by me. (“Stand By Me,” Charles Albert Tindley)

Michaels is new rabbi at Temple Beth El By Wendy Smith The first time Rabbi Mathew Michaels spoke to the Temple Beth El congregation, he invoked “the rule of three.” He asked members to refrain from commenting on his teaching until they’d been exposed to it three times. He wanted them to be open to having a new experience. When I spoke with Michaels last week, he had only taught twice. But some members had already flaunted the rule, and given the rabbi positive feedback. Clearly, Knoxville folks are too nice to keep compliments to themselves. Michaels is still getting to know us Southerners. He grew up in Los Angeles and graduated from UCLA. During his junior year, he realized his passion was not the practice of law but the practice of Judaism. Like everyone who attends rabbinical school, he spent a year studying in Israel. He found the rhythm of life to be different there. Everything operates on Jewish time, he says. “It’s the one place where we’re not a minority. I had an at-home kind of feeling.” Before moving to West Knoxville, Michaels also felt at home in Texas, where he’d lived since 1988. So, yes, he has a cowboy hat.

Twelve when they started across the water. The sea was rough, and the wind was picking up. However, it was not the wind or the darkness that frightened the disciples. It was the sight of Jesus coming toward them, walking on the surface of the water. I guess I can empathize with their fear. The night was all darkness and storm and howling wind and a boat at the mercy of it all. And then they see the Lord, coming toward them, walking on top of the water, his hair whipping around his face, and his tunic blown against his frame. What were they to think? John tells us not what they thought, but what they felt: “… they were terrified.”

Can’t say as I blame them. It is great drama, the stuff of movies. But the real stunner was yet to come. Jesus said to them, “I am. Do not be afraid.” Now the NRSV renders that statement as “It is I, …” but in the Greek it is “I am,” which gives us a choice of two meanings. Either we hear it as an echo of God’s selfdescription to Moses on Sinai: “I am that I am.” In which case, Jesus is declaring his one-ness with the great God Almighty. Or, we hear it as Jesus’ statement that in and through his existence – his being, his “am-ness,” his presence with us – we are loved and cared for and need fear nothing. Or both.

He’s moved around enough to recognize regional differences in congregations. As one would expect, Texas congregations are big.

It was unimaginable, until she explained that the Valley of the Doves (also called the Valley of the Wind) acts like a funnel for the wind. The valley is really a pass through the mountains that rise to the west of the Sea of Galilee, a narrow pass, steep and dangerous.

A school from the future By Madeline Lonas Students my age don’t usually get excited about going to school. As for me, I am overly excited. For a freshman, high school can seem a little scary, but I have a feeling the teachers and students at the L&N STEM Academy are friendly. Built in 1905, the L&N was a train station. It contained separate waiting rooms for couples, single

women and for the “colored.” While the walls and windows for the “colored” waiting room were simple and dull, the “white’s” waiting room had beautiful stained glass windows and delicately carved wood trim. In 1968 the lastt train left the station and seven years later the build-

ing was sold. It stood vacant for another seven years before it was renovated for the 1982 World’s Fair. Two restaurants, Ruby Tuesday and the first L&N Seafood Grill, moved into the lower floors of the building. Three t years later, Alex Harkness and Station 82 Partners bought the building

The UT chapter consists of about 50 undergraduate and graduate students majoring in human resource management.

for office space. In 2002 Ye Olde Steakhouse moved in. It stayed open for two years, until a fire damaged the building. In 2010, Tennessee was one of two states to meet goals set by the federal government and received Race to the Top funds. Dr. James McIntyre, Knox County’s school superintendent, led the way to take advantage of these one-time dollars for a new STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) school and it officially opened in 2011. While the building is more than 100 years old, the technology is straight from the future. With the help of Randy Boyd, every student who attends STEM receives their own iPad. Every classroom has a SMART Board, and some rooms have flat screen televisions that can connect with the iPads. Because STEM has no athletic teams, they can use that funding for academics. While there is no gymnasium, the Xbox Kinects keeps the kids bodies conditioned. They also visit the nearby YMCA once a week. The administration wants the environment to feel more like a college than a high school. Small study rooms that offer couches and bean bag chairs are available equipped with flat screen TVs and dry-erase boards. All of the hallways and classrooms have motion sensor lights that save electricity. STEM’s library is called “the library from the future” mainly because all you see are computers in the room. Behind every door, you never know what you will find. STEM’s Robotics team built a robot last year that could shoot a basketball into a hoop. You may not realize that they also offer chorus and orchestra. Students compose music by plugging their iPads into keyboards to record. Digital Art classes give their computers a workout.

First impressions By Sara Barrett What impressed me most during the interns’ tour of the L&N STEM Academy was the perfect blend of past, present and future. Original L&N Depot lighting in the form of a huge glass chandelier hangs in the entryway, right over the desk in the school’s front office. Mosaic tile still covers the floor where folks from the segregated South prepared to board trains years ago. Markings on the floor of the career planning and guidance area even show where walls were used to keep people of different races from interacting with each other. Students of every color now walk those floors today – side by side – to get to their next class with iPads in hand. Technology is neatly tucked into every corner of the old train station; even the water fountains are high-tech with slots to fill

water bottles in addition to the usual water fountain. Need to contact your teacher, but don’t have a pen to jot down her email address? Just use your iPad to scan the Smart Code taped to the classroom door. Within a couple of seconds, the teacher’s information page comes up from Knox County Schools’ website. While climbing the stairs to the second floor, I wondered if the students attending classes in this environment realize how fortunate they are. School principal Becky Ashe told the Shopper interns about the art students’ weekly visits to the neighboring Knoxville Museum of Art, and how gym class is often a swift stroll down the block to the Y. As an “old school” high school graduate from Farragut, I can see how many parents may be just a bit envious of their child’s experience at the L&N STEM Academy.

The 2012 version of Shopper-News interns has ended with this week’s report on the L&N STEM Academy. We had a blast! On Tuesday we asked interns to evaluate the program, looking for places to keep or toss for next season. Juvenile Court Judge Tim Irwin was a hit with every intern. Most were impressed with the courtroom experience with Circuit Court Judge Dale Workman, although Jacob Messing said he wished we’d “had a better trial.” Workman probably did too. The hands-down favorite meal was prepared by B&G Catering in Gibbs. The kids are still talking about those hamburgers and cookies. The most interesting venue for lunch was the Blue Plate Special at the Knoxville Visitor’s Center. Best characters were Joe Longmire talking about Corryton history, followed by a visit to the farm of Carolyn and Calvin Copeland.

What stood out? The big guns at the regional FBI headquarters; the big press at the News Sentinel; the big sludge pond at Hallsdale Powell Utility District. Everyone enjoyed a personal tour of the STEM Acadmy and two of this year’s interns plan to attend there. Two former interns, Owen Sanders and Leo Coppock Seal, already are students there. So here are thanks to those who helped: Ruth White and Sara Barrett from the Shopper staff. Ruth’s motto: “What is said in Ruth’s car, stays in Ruth’s car.” Karen Schmidt at KNS and the folks at Cancun Mexican Restaurant in Halls; Ranee Randby who set up our tour of the Knox County Health Department and Sue Renfro who did likewise at KARM; Sandy Liford, Nick Jackson, Ronnie Qualls and the HPUD staff, along with Roy Arthur who talked about his work to clean up Beaver Creek and Jenny Woodbery who showed us around the

new engineering building at UT. Thanks also to Joe Longmire and the Copelands; to Judges Workman and Irwin; and to the one and only Richard L. Bean, for whom a building is named. Thanks to Carol Evans of Legacy Parks Foundation for showing the kids Mead’s Quarry and Fort Dickerson; and thanks to Judy McCarter for arranging our tour of the FBI. Thanks to Russ Oaks and Mary Martin who arranged our tour of the STEM Academy, along with principal Becky Ashe and her staff who made it fun. Ruth, Sara and I made a pact: We’re starting today to recruit interns for next summer. We’re looking for rising 9th graders who can meet with us on Tuesdays. There’s no cost and lunch is on us. We ask that interns photograph or write about the places we visit. Interested? Email Sara at barretts@ShopperNewsNow.com or Ruth at betty photo@aol.com.

Soledad Sepulveda and her father, Eduardo, told members of the Rotary Club of Farragut about Eduardo’s Rotary club in Chile at the Farragut’s club meeting on Aug. 1. Photo by Sherri Gardner Howell

Lessons from Chile By Sherri Gardner Howell Eduardo Sepulveda apologized for not being fluent in the English language as he stood before the Rotary Club of Farragut on Aug. 1. No apology was needed. His passion for the work of Rotary in his native Chile communicated the message loud and clear. Sepulveda, accompanied by his daughter, Soledad, presented a slide show that highlighted the work of his Rotary club in Temuco. The projects included adopting a small community school for students with disabilities and

a drinking water project. The water project, conducted in a rural area of mainly farmers and Mapuche Indians, brought clean drinking water to a health care center that had been built to service the area, but had no clean water. “They couldn’t use it until the club found funds and a way to provide water,” said Eduardo. Eduardo is visiting the area and speaking to Rotary clubs while in the United States. Also on the agenda were two special presentations. Knoxville police officer Michael Geddings was pre-

sented the Service Above Self award from the club. He shares the honor with Knoxville Fire Department senior firefighter Eric Risden, who was presented his award in June. Deputy Chief Gary Price introduced Geddings, and the award was presented by Farragut Rotarian Ben Harkins, a retired Knox County Sheriff’s Office captain and current traffic enforcement manager for the town of Farragut. Geddings was accompanied by his wife, Angie. Molly Moore, Imagination Library coordinator for Knox County, was on hand to accept a $1,000 check from the club to Imagination Library. The funds were raised at the Adult Spelling Bee, chaired by Lee Mrazek and Staci Wilkerson. “Imagination Library has over 17,000 children in our program,” said Moore. “This donation will buy 1,000 books.” Rotary Club of Farragut meets at noon on Wednesdays at Fox Den Country Club.

Parents want their children to have everything they need for a good education, but in rural Appalachia; this privilege is sometimes an impossibility. In 1998, the Mission of Hope took on the yearly ministry of helping to provide school supplies to children living in poverty-stricken areas of rural Appalachia. Working through Elementary Schools with very high Free Lunch percentages; the Mission of Hope gathers together backpacks, glue, scissors, crayons, rulers, protractors, spiral notebooks, pens and pencils; so needy children can start the new school year with the necessary supplies. The Mission of Hope needs your help with its 2012 Back-to-School Campaign. We hope to assist over 10,500 Appalachian Children this year. Will you please help us help those in need?

family with a child age 21 or younger who is receiving medical treatment at an area hospital, including East Tennessee Children’s Hospital. Since it opened, more than 45,000 people have found a home when they needed one the most. Families are asked for a donation of $5 per night for a room. The house provides facilities for sleeping, cooking, laundry and play. Relatives, including grandparents and siblings of children receiving medical treatment, are welcome. The Ronald McDonald House also offers a program where families with children at area hospitals use the house’s laundry, cooking and other facilities during the day. This enables families to complete daily tasks while away from home but still remain close to their sick child. On Valentine’s Day 2000, the Ronald McDon-

ald House opened a second house beside the original house. Together, the two buildings can accommodate 16 families or 65 people nightly. The house needs everything that your house needs multiplied by 16. Keeping it stocked with everything from meals and coffee to laundry detergent and zip-lock bags is quite a challenge. (Go to www. knoxrmhc.org/w ishlist. html to view the “wish list.”) Everything needed is funded by the community. Support comes through fundraising events such as the annual golf tournament as well as donations of money and goods from caring groups and individuals. Knoxville’s Ronald McDonald House is one of 200 houses throughout the world helping 5,000 people daily. Pam Fansler is president of First Tennessee Bank’s East Tennessee region.

Triple 8 earns award By Theresa Edwards Triple 8 began in the home of Casey and Margarita McClure eight years ago with two Swaddlebees natural cloth diaper designs. It has flourished into a business distributing more than 20 different diaper designs and accessories worldwide through more than 120 retailers, distributors and stores, earning the “2012 Rising Star Award” for business excellence. “Our Rising Star award is the biggest honor the TSBDC has to recognize growing small businesses in Knox County,” said senior business specialist Rob Karpick. “The success Triple 8 has found through hard work, dedication and a passion for customer service is something we really need to celebrate as a community.”

Triple 8 is part of the Knoxville Chamber’s mentor program. “We really want our business to grow, and they have helped us do that,” said Casey McClure. He discussed the advantages of the natural cloth diapers. “First, it is better for the child. Second, it is really good for the environment. … Third is saving money. The average parent spends $2,200 to $2,500 on disposable diapers per child and you will spend anywhere from $500 to $800 with our products and they can be used for your second child.” “My wife is the founder, the brains and designer of the business,” said McClure. “We focus on the prints. That is our biggest selling point,” said Margarita McClure. “Moms go crazy over the prints. Our best seller

NEWS FROM GRACE CHRISTIAN ACADEMY OF KNOXVILLE

New season, new field

Grace Christian Academy is the first school in Knox County to install artificial turf on its football field. Photos by Kara McKamey

By Shannon Morris The Grace Christian Academy Rams are gearing up to take the ﬁeld again this fall. The ﬁrst football game of the season will be Thursday, Aug. 16, as the Rams host the Carter Hornets in a televised High School Rivalry match up. This will be the inaugural football game on the brand new turf field. Some other area schools have followed suit, but Grace was the first school in Knox County to install an artificial turf playing surface, so this

first game promises to be very exciting. The Rams are riding a 10-game winning streak, having finished last season with a perfect 10-0 record. This game will not be the first time the field has been used, however. Grace has hosted soccer tournaments and other events over the summer, including a tremendous football camp with former UT Vol and current NFL player Eric Berry. Football players from around the region benefitted from personal training with Berry, in

Back to school By Shannon Morris August is the month for back to school! In the next few days, students will be preparing for that anticipated day. New clothes, classroom supplies and backpacks will be ﬂying off the shelves. On that ﬁrst day of school, Grace Christian Academy will be poised and ready to receive each student from kindergarten through 12th grade. As a college preparatory school, Grace is committed to a high standard of academic excellence in all grades. Even as early as kindergarten, there is a strong academic foundation established in art, computer, Spanish, music, library and physical education. The loving, caring environment and family atmosphere puts even our youngest students at ease each day. Grace’s educational program is a guide to enable students to discover God’s purpose for their lives and to

ment for learning with use of interactive whiteboard technology and exposure to departmentalized instruction. The middle school offers exploratory classes in foreign languages, physical education, computer, drama, music and art. With 16 middle school sports teams, our students have the opportunity to experience a sport they may be interested in pursuing more once they reach the high school level. The goal at Grace is to maximize each student’s God-given abilities and talents while teaching to the whole child – mind, body and spirit. The high school students are enriched with choices in advanced placement and honors classes. Our academic and college counseling service is top-notch and helps to direct each student in his or her academic path for future success. The January term enrichment program, known as Winterim, allows students to test the workforce, to see what different career opportunities are available and what they look like from inside the business or corporation. The strong athletic training and

competitive sports program allows students many extracurricular opportunities each year. Several student athletes have signed national letters of intent in a diverse range of sports. As a school accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, the Schools and Council of Accreditation and School Improvement (SACA-ACSI), and the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI), Grace seeks to partner with families in educating a diverse student population. Graduates have received appointments to U.S. Military academies, as well as acceptance by Yale University, Vanderbilt University, the University of Tennessee and many more. Grace exists to lead students to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ, to build them up to their full potential in Him, and to equip them to serve Him. If Grace Christian Academy sounds like the perfect fit for your student, please feel free to contact the school office at 934-4780 for more information on how your family can be a part of our family.

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM PARKWEST, WEST KNOXVILLE’S HEALTHCARE LEADER • TREATEDWELL.COM • 374-PARK

‘Murky gene pool’ likely responsible for active man’s heart trouble Jim and Brenda Owenby of Vonore are planning to celebrate their 44th wedding anniversary on Aug. 29, but there was a time when a healthy, happy future wasn’t so certain. One afternoon in 1994 after digging post-holes on his farm, Owenby noticed he was out of breath. He continued to feel unwell and his stomach felt a little upset, but he blamed indigestion. Brenda convinced him to see a doctor. A stress test revealed that Jim had survived what would be the first of three heart attacks. A complete blockage made it necessary for him to have a stent implanted. Fast forward to 2002 when Owenby had open heart surgery at Parkwest – a double bypass and two grafts. Things were good until 2009 when he again had open heart surgery, this time with five stents and three grafts. “My heart pretty much looks like Malfunction Junction with stents and grafts running everywhere,” Owenby joked. “If you’ve been around the Knoxville area for a while, you know what that is,” Owenby said, referring to a particularly aggravating stretch of I-40 in downtown Knoxville, formerly known for causing dangerous traffic snarls and delays. Owenby is genetically predisposed to heart disease. “My gene pool is pretty murky on both sides of the family when it comes to heart health,” he commented. His grandfather died of a heart attack at 45, his father succumbed to a stroke at 93, his uncles died from heart attacks and his mom, 66, also did not survive a coronary event. Testing has revealed that one of Owenby’s two adult daugh-

Joking that most men buy a red convertible when they retire, Owenby, 63, said his “midlife mobile” choice was a Kubota M7040 tractor which he uses on a 90-acre, lakefront farm in Monroe County that has been in the family for generations. In addition to farm work, he exercises most days of the week, alternating between yoga and time on the treadmill.

Owenby says his “Second Bible” is Dr. Dean Ornish’s “Program for Reversing Heart Disease: The Only System Scientifically Proven to Reverse Heart Disease Without Drugs or Surgery.” Here, Owenby checks the progress of some homegrown summer squash. Since the diagnosis of Jim’s heart disease, the Owenby family is eating more fresh vegetables. The retired accountant seldom feels deprived and claims he has never felt better.

ters is at risk for heart problems similar to her father’s. Complicating the issue is that Owenby’s body doesn’t tolerate statins well. Statins are a class of medicines frequently used to lower blood cholesterol levels by blocking the action of a chemical in the liver that is necessary for making cholesterol. Owenby’s experience with statins included dizziness, extreme fatigue and muscle aches. Surgery, maintenance medica-

tion and a healthy lifestyle have contributed to making Owenby healthier. His “numbers” corroborate good health: blood pressure, cholesterol and triglycerides are all within normal levels. His ejection fraction (EF) looks good. EF is a measurement of the percentage of blood leaving your heart each time it contracts. However, that’s just part of the story. “When it comes to my heart, the plumbing’s good but the wir-

ing is not so great,” Owenby said. “For no apparent reason, my heart beats out of rhythm.” In April, Owenby had an implantable cardioverter deﬁbrillator (ICD) implanted. An ICD is a small device placed in the chest to help treat irregular heartbeats called arrhythmias. An ICD uses electrical pulses or shocks to help control life-threatening arrhythmias which can cause sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). The ICD seems to be working.

Heart attack or cardiac arrest?

People often use heart attack and cardiac arrest inter- covery. Heart attacks increase the risk for sudden cardiac changeably, but they are not synonomous. A heart attack arrest. Most heart attacks do not lead to sudden cardiac is when blood flow to the heart is blocked, and sudden car- arrest.

A heart attack occurs when a blocked artery prevents tricular fibrillation, and long Q-T syndrome. oxygen-rich blood from reaching a section of the heart. If the blocked artery is not reopened quickly, the part of the heart normally nourished by that artery begins to die.

What is the link?

“My pulse rate was in the low 50s, now it is in the 60s,” he said. “Every six months, the doctor will download information from my ICD to get a look at what is actually happening with my heartbeats.” Owenby is the kind of patient who puts his life in God’s hands and his trust in medical professionals; however, he takes responsibility for acting on the information he is given. His “inner accountant” demands that his balance sheets tally up, so Owenby also makes sure that he educates himself about what he can do to stay as healthy as he can for as long as possible. He follows a diet and lifestyle program by Dean Ornish, M.D., that is supposed to reverse heart disease. As a result, he has dropped approximately 35 pounds and has increased energy. Brenda cooks differently. It turns out that Jim’s heart-healthy diet is reaping beneﬁts for her as well. “No more sausage, gravy and biscuits,” she said. “I use Stevia to sweeten things.” “I went to a doctor at Mayo Clinic for a second opinion, and I asked him, is it really possible to reverse heart disease,” Owenby said. “He told me, ‘You’re already doing it.’ ” He also credits his local heart care team at Parkwest which includes cardiologist Stephen Marietta, M.D., and physician assistant Jaan Anne Kelly. “Jaan Anne is my guardian angel,” said Owenby. “She was the one who recommended that I check into the Berkeley HeartLab test.” “I have grandchildren that I want to see graduate from college,” Owenby said. “I need to be around for that.”

Is the Berkeley HeartLab test appropriate for you? The Berkeley HeartLab testing includes lipoprotein subfractionation analyses, advanced cardiovascular risk markers and genetic tests that determine risk characteristics with precision and accuracy. Based on these analyses, clinicians are able to create personalized treatment plans for each patient. If you have had two or more of the following, a Berkeley HeartLab test may be beneﬁcial: ■ Heart disease or a heart attack (this counts as two) ■ Diabetes (this counts as two) ■ Family history of either heart disease or a heart attack before the age of 55 ■ Total cholesterol > 200 mg/dL ■ LDL cholesterol (the bad cholesterol) > 130 mg/dL, or LDL cholesterol > 100 mg/dL if you have had a heart attack ■ Triglycerides > 150 mg/dL ■ HDL cholesterol (the good cholesterol) < 40 mg/dL ■ Systolic blood pressure (the top number) > 140 mmHg ■ Diastolic blood pressure (the bottom number) > 90 mmHg ■ Obesity ■ Cigarette smoker ■ Physical inactivity The Wall Street Journal online also endorsed the Berkeley HeartLab expanded cholesterol testing in its story “Five Tests Worth Paying For.” The results break down both the good and bad cholesterol into subclasses that can give a better indication of heart-disease risk. It goes beyond typical cholesterol testing which doesn’t directly measure your LDL, or bad cholesterol. Expanded tests also look at the size, type and sometimes number of LDL and HDL particles. For more information about the Berkeley test, ask your primary care physician.

NEWS FROM PROVISION HEALTH ALLIANCE

Dynamic growth at Provision

An aerial view of the campus of Provision Health Alliance, located off Middlebrook Pike near Weisgarber Road. The large building in the center houses Provision Health & Wellness; new construction at top shows the future home of the Provision Center for Proton Center.

Using technology to save lives Terry Douglass was a co-founder of CTI Molecular Inc. which developed positron emission technology, more commonly known as PET scans. Realizing the Terry Douglass technology’s importance to patient diagnosis and treatment, he worked closely with other industry leaders to obtain FDA approval and PET reimbursement. CTI went public in 2002 and was acquired by Siemens in 2005. In an interview with teknovation.biz, Douglass talked about vision and mission. “Make sure that the business potential you pursue is worth the effort that you will have to exert; and remember that businesses do not fail due to mission and values; they fail because they run out of cash. So plan and execute so that you never run out of cash, which is a lot easier said than done, but true.” Douglass also formed Provision Foundation to support not-for-proﬁt local and international ministries, especially in Haiti. Then he worked closely with physicians and other healthcare providers in the community to form Provision Health Alliance (PHA), telling teknovation. biz: “We are all blessed by God with different resources, capabilities, talents, experiences and circumstances. Everything that we call ours actually comes from Him and belongs to Him. … Provision Health Alliance is simply about being obedient and wisely investing the resources for which we are responsible.”

and what it offers is attributed to clinicians that practice on the campus and driven by patient needs. Michael Bozeman is PHA’s vice president for marketing and business development. He says, “Our expertise is in development, and our focus is to improve patient access to the best technology.” That was Terry Douglass’s goal with PET and it is Provision Health Alliance’s goal today. “We want to be holistic so our patients live better lives,

rather than simply treat after a diagnosis,” Bozeman said. “Our goal for patient treatment is to be preventive, predictive, personalized and participatory. “We have created a worldclass cancer facility that can serve Knoxville, the surrounding region and the greater Southeast. The new Proton Therapy Center will be a community resource, open to all area physicians and providers. It will have three treatment units and will be able to treat up to 900 cancer patients annually.”

Tour the PHA campus ■ Tennessee Cancer Specialists includes 12 physician specialists and a support staff to provide patients with comprehensive cancer care and personal support. Cancer specialties include bladder, breast, colon, uterine, lung, prostate and skin cancers along with leukemia. ■ Knoxville Comprehensive Breast Center was founded in 1983 by Kamilia Kozlowski, M.D. It was the first freestanding breast center of its kind in Tennessee and remains one of the few nationwide. Today the center includes five physicians and a staff of 70, all with the goal of providing top quality imaging and comprehensive care all under one roof. ■ Provision Diagnostic Imaging features a comprehensive range of outpatient imaging services to help area physicians diagnose and treat a wide variety of medical conditions. Services include CT, PET/CT and X-ray scans plus nuclear medicine technologies and both 1.5T and Open MRI – the only Open MRI in the area. ■ Provision Physical Therapy is led by physical therapists Dean Douglass and Wes Franks, both certified manual therapists. Services include treatment for neck and back pain, headaches, shoulder, wrist/ hand, elbow, neurovascular issues, knee, hip, foot/ankle, sports injuries,

post-operative rehab and cancer rehabilitation.

■ Provision Health & Wellness offers a medically-based resource for wellness with comprehensive programs for health management. Services include stateof-the-art exercise equipment and personal trainers and nutritional counseling by a Registered Dietitian.

■ Provision Health Partners delivers innovative and cost effective management services which allow healthcare entities to focus on the healthcare business, thereby enhancing their ability to provide quality patient care. Services include practice management, accounting and financial services, IT support, facility and site development, human resources and marketing.

■ Cardinal Health partners with Provision Radiopharmacy to bring PET tracers to Provision practitioners and partners in the region. The Radiopharmacy produces FDG, Ammonia N13, Sodium Fluoride and participates in research and development of novel tracers that are sure to have an impact on patient care in the near future. ■ Provision Center for Biomedical Research is a clinical research site management organization that serves as a liaison between the pharmaceutical industry and physician groups to make innovative research available to patients throughout East Tennessee. Currently more than 20 active or follow-up trials are underway. ■ Provision Healthcare Foundation was formed to be a resource for education, research and charity care in the community. Primarily funded from ventures on the PHA campus, the funds are available to those in need for healthcare edu-

Coming soon ■ Provision Radiation Therapy will open in August. It will provide comprehensive cancer care through innovative treatments. Radiation oncologists will use the most advanced techniques in radiation therapy while oncology trained nurses and therapists will care for patients’ needs. “Our mission is to treat not just the cancer but the mind, body and soul.” ■ Provision Center for Proton Therapy, opening in 2014, will be just the 14th such center in the United States. Proton therapy is one of the most advanced cancer treatments in the world, using precise targeting that spares healthy tissue and reduces collateral damage. This center is greatly needed in the Southeast United States and will have both clinical and economic benefits for the community.

‘C’ is for cookie

Kids

August 6, 2012

By Ruth White

y mother told me many years ago that my grandfather was a baker. That explains why, when all of my friends were playing with dolls or playing school, I was using Play-Doh and cookie cutters to pretend that I was the owner of the best bakery in town. As long as I can remember, I have loved being in the kitchen. When I was a young girl I would make the best mud pies on the block and would season them with my mother’s spices. In high school I always made sure there were fresh baked cookies, brownies or caramel corn on the athletic bus to games. I loved to see the smiles that wonderful treats brought to the faces of my friends. This is a tradition that I have continued and have passed on to my own daughter. More than four years ago I pulled out the pastry bags and

decorating tips and taught my daughter how to decorate cookies. These decorated treats would be given to a football player, inside a colorfully painted bucket on game day. The first several batches of cookies had their

flaws, but they tasted wonderful and the best part was using a craft to bond with my daughter. Making the cookies grew past the football bucket and they began to pop up at baseball and basketball games, welcomed new

cheerleaders to the team and helped raise money for breast cancer awareness. Friends began to mention that their birthday was coming up soon and would love to have some cookies for their special day (hint, hint). I have tried several recipes but always fall back to a personal favorite. The shape of the cookie may not be perfect but the taste is what matters most. Royal icing is the topping of choice for me because it dries to a hardened state that allows for the cookies to be stacked without smashing hours of work. Perfecting the skill of

icing and then turning shapes of dough into recognizable objects has taken hours of practice and researching techniques on the Internet. Thousands of pounds of cookie dough, mounds of royal icing and more colors than one might imagine, the quality of the decorating has improved and it’s a thrill to watch my own child share the same passion I did at her age. To some, they are just cookies. To me, they are memories made that will last for my lifetime and hopefully beyond.

Going for ghoulish Students learn from pros during filmmaking camp By Wendy Smith Someday, a fresh crop of Hollywood filmmakers may credit the Garden Montessori Film Institute in Fountain City for giving them their first big break. Until then, some of them will have to finish the 6th grade. Garden Montessori School recently wrapped up its third annual filmmaking camp. There were two sessions this year, and each completed a short

film. The first camp, which was attended by upper elementary through high school students, produced a “mockumentary” called “Life’s a Mountain, Climb It: the Radiator Zebras Story.” It’s the tale of a rock band sliding downward into conflict – and smooth jazz. The second was an advanced camp for middle and high-school students, who filmed a horror movie called “Trillo del Diablo,” or “The Trill of the Devil.” The success of the camp is partially due to the community’s wealth of moviemaking professionals. The director is Gibbs High School and UT alumnus

Kelly Vasconcelos. She spent 15 years doing film and commercial work in Los Angeles before returning to Knoxville. She assumed the move would end her film career, but she was wrong. The volume of instructional TV produced in this area means there’s an abundance of local talent. The low cost of filming here is attractive to professionals like Vasconcelos’ friend Octavia Spencer, the Academy Award-winning actor who starred in “The Help.” In 2010, Spencer chose Knoxville as the location for a movie she wrote and directed called

the school’s director, Dian Taylor, who agreed to give it a try. One session was offered the first year. Last summer, another session was added, and the movie produced by the advanced acting camp won an Audience Choice Award at the 2011 Knoxville Horror Film Festival. Vasconcelos hopes to enter “Trillo del Diablo” in several film festivals. Members of this year’s advanced filmmaking camp knew from the beginning that they wanted to take a stab at another horror film. “Scary movies are easier to make than comedies, because with comedies, you have to come up with all of your own jokes,” says Cian Bell, a rising 6th-grader who participated in the advanced camp. “To do a horror movie, you just have to make people jump.” Bell reports that the “Trillo” during a premier audience members did in- of both films held July 27 deed jump when they saw at Fourth United Presby-

lent his talent, and his liquid latex, to the camp this year. “Trillo” direc-

tor, Central High School senior Hayley Huckaba, spoke with a variety of professionals to learn how to turn students into gruesome ghouls. While the campers learned a lot from the pros, the final product was written, performed and edited entirely by kids. It was especially empowering for those who thought filmmaking could only be accomplished in Hollywood, says Vasconcelos. Huckaba, who has participated in the camp for three years, hopes to attend film school after graduation. She was out of town during the editing process, and was surprised and delighted to see the final cut of “Trillo.” She’s proud of what the campers achieved. “When you think that this was all done by people between the ages of 10 and 17, it’s pretty incredible,” she says.

FULL-SERVICE CHILD CARE CENTER for all your family needs.

The cupcake kid By Ruth White Josh Ray is not your typical 16-year-old. He has a pretty good head for business combined with a creative talent that has him on a pretty clear path for his future. He has been decorating cakes since he was 11 years old and enjoys making other people smile with his tasty creations. “My mom did a little bit of cake decorating when I was younger,” he said remembering his third birthday cake. Josh has taken the creative side of cakes to a whole new level. When Julie Graham, market manager at New

Harvest Park, was looking for ideas for the annual blueberry festival, she came across a market that had hosted a cupcake contest. She asked Josh for help with planning a similar event in Knoxville. “I went away for a week on a mission trip and when I returned Josh had already developed a Facebook page, Web page, set up an email account and developed spreadsheets for the event.” Josh has participated in several local competitions including the Great Cake Bake where he won a third place ribbon in the junior division for wedding cakes; and the Tennessee Valley Fair, winning

second place in the junior division. He used these experiences to organize the cupcake contest, recruit judges and plan fun activities for participants. There have been several times that Josh feels he has (pardon the pun) bitten off more than he could chew when choosing a theme for his cakes. “I made my sister a cake for her 16th birthday and it was a three-tier cake. I tried to make a lot of icing in a small bowl with a hand mixer,” he said. “I broke two mixers in the process.” Another creation that didn’t quite turn out as expected was the Halloween cake that was supposed to

be a cauldron but turned out more like a volcano. His family is supportive and is always willing to eat the cakes that don’t turn out as planned. His friends think it’s cool to have someone around who enjoys baking and does it well. “Several friends have asked me to teach them how to get started baking.” As for his future, Josh plans to go into business marketing and would also like to attend culinary school. With his experience and skill, he would like to organize events and possibly raise money for charity.

Tips for Buying Kids’ Shoes When it comes to buying shoes for your children, there are so many different styles available; it can sometimes be difficult to figure out which one to choose. The most important thing to keep in mind is that your child needs proper foot support during childhood’s growth years is critical. A child’s foot can grow up to about the age of 18, and the most important development happens in the first seven years. Here is a quick look at how fast kids’ feet grow: ■ Under 12 months old, every 2 months. ■ 12 months to 2.5 years old, every 3 months. ■ 2.5 to 4 years old, every 4 months. ■ From 4 to 6 years old, every 6 months.

Shoes that do not fit properly can be uncomfortable and unhealthy. That is why it is important to always measure a child’s feet before buying shoes. Every shoe fits differently, so do not buy shoes based solely on the size printed on the shoebox. Make sure your child tries on every shoe and watch them as they walk to make sure they seem comfortable and fit properly.

for irregularities in stitching, glue or stapling. Look for a stiff heel cup. Press on both sides of the heel counter. It should not collapse. To help parents find shoes that fit properly, here are some helpful shoe buying tips: ■ Make sure to see a professional trained in fitting shoes for infants, toddlers and young children. For example, Stride Rite’s Fit Training Program received the APMA Seal of Acceptance. The seal recognizes products evaluated by a committee of podiatrists that contribute to better foot health. ■ Have your child’s feet measured every 2 to 3 months until toddler years, then every 3 to 4 months after that.

■ Feet are seldom precisely the same size. Always buy for the larger foot. ■ Do not buy shoes that need “breaking in.” Shoes should be comfortable from the beginning. Observe your child walking around in both shoes for longer than a few minutes. Then, check each foot to make certain there are no irritation marks. ■ Make sure the shoe is not too heavy. A heavy shoe can make your child walk ir-

regularly, preventing the development of a normal walking pattern. ■ If a child complains of foot pain or discomfort, schedule a check-up with your local podiatrist who specializes in children’s foot care.

Get The Whole Family Organized At Back-To-School Time Back-to-school season is the ideal time for families to reestablish routines and get organized -- both at home and on the go. But before hitting the stores for supplies, take time to plan ahead with shopping lists that meet both your children’s and your family’s needs. There are many great tips to help get a fresh start on the academic year ahead:

Save

If you have more than one child, or want to stock up for the year, save on items like glue sticks, notebooks and writing utensils by taking advantage of sales and purchasing value packs, which are easy to find at back-to-school time. For better deals on items like tissues and sanitizing wipes, hold off until you are also buying these products for the home at a warehouse club or with coupons.

Teach Organization

Teach kids the importance of starting the day organized. One

way to simplify the morning shuffle is by assigning a color to each child for easy identification of binders, backpacks and pencil pouches. Assign colors before shopping to prepare for easier in-aisle decisions. Five Star products (www.meadfivestar.com), for example, are available in a variety of on-trend patterns and basic solid color options to complement and contrast styles. Or use color-coded stickers and labels to maintain consistency.

Synchronize Schedules

The school year often brings additional commitments for families. Creating a “mission control” in a central location in the home will improve communication and ease the stress of time management. Look for calendars with high functionality like meal planners, “look-ahead” features, magnetic backings and repositionable peel-and-stick adhesives. Don’t

sion slips and medical forms. Parents and children all benefit from a paper management system. Use bins, expanding files and binder dividers with “reminder” f lags to keep track of priorities. Flag items needing immediate attention -- whether it’s homework or paperwork. If your children have busy schedules, make it easier for them to work on the go. Opt for binders with writing surfaces, internal storage pockets for loose paper and places to stash pens and pencils. And you can do the same. Consider using binders and expanding files in the car to create a place for last-minute notes, papers and storage. forget to include a white board Vow to spend time on a weekWith a little planning and or cork board where notes can ly basis reviewing and synching creativity, the whole family calendars and discussing the can prepare to stay organized be left for one another.
