“It’s a special place,” Bruner says of the school. “The facilities

were in bad need of an upgrade. I said, if it’s going to have Phil Garner’s name on it, we need to upgrade. I think it turned out nice.”

Garner travelled from Houston to attend the dedication. He played major league ball from 1973 to 1988 before becoming a manager. He managed the Houston Astros from 2004 to 2007 and led the team to a World Series appearance in 2005.

It was a good day to travel to Knoxville with his wife, Carol, because it was his 43rd wedding anniversary, he said.

His parents, Drew and Mary Frances Garner, were also in attendance.

“My dad said, if you have a job, do it right. I think that helped me with my career,” Garner said.

He told Bearden players, who surrounded him on the field, that a baseball career is a great choice.

But those who don’t have that opportunity can aspire to be community leaders like those who made the new ballpark possible.

He also reminded them to have fun.

Trustee Mike Lowe was replaced by his chief deputy, Fred Sisk, who hired Lowe back. Sisk did not seek election when John Duncan announced for the job.

Lowe is headed to court on criminal charges; Duncan resigned after paying bonuses people had not earned; and the commission appointed Craig Leuthold, a commissioner during Black Wednesday, to the job. He’s on this year’s ballot.

Greg “Lumpy” Lambert, Larry Clark, Ivan Harmon and Mark Cawood are Black Wednesday commissioners who voted for Jones and now work for him. Other voting commissioners with ties to the sheriff were Paul Pinkston, whose wife worked in inmate medical services, and Scott Moore, whose wife went to work for the sheriff after Black Wednesday.

Guthe writes about commissioners who: “… have no particular background, education or training for the position. … Only a fraction of eligible voters choose a relative unknown with perhaps questionable talent from a short list.”

Whether they advocate for government big or small, once in office, most never want to leave.

The politics of food Do people have a right to eat? The United Nations said “yes� in 1948. How that’s put into practice is food politics, says University of Tennessee History Professor Emeritus John Bohstedt.

Wendy Smith

He discussed Robert Paarlberg’s book “Food Politics: What Everyone Needs to Know� last week at Knox County Public Library’s Books Sandwiched In series. “The world’s food is drenched in food politics to a far greater extent than most of us realize,� he said.

Some think that the world is in a Malthusian trap, meaning that population growth has outpaced food production. Paarlberg disagrees, noting that population growth is declining, and U.S. food production has increased 40 percent since 1980.

But 900 million are malnourished worldwide. Accessibility is the problem, rather than food shortage, the author says.

The production of ethanol, which uses a large portion of the U.S. corn crop, is a major food politics issue.

Another is the post-World War II food regime, which resulted in the U.S. export of surplus food in the form of “food aid.� That wiped out small farmers worldwide and caused them to rely on imported food, Bohstedt said. Food riots in two dozen countries in 2008 were the result of such reliance.

Paarlberg recommends that food production revert back to small farmers, but political obstacles are huge, said Bohstedt.

The opening of the Sequoyah Hills Dogwood Trail was the perfect opportunity for the community to revel in the newly restored Talahi Park. A ribbon cutting ceremony gave Kingston Pike Sequoyah Hills President Sallie Namey the opportunity to thank those who donated time and money to the effort.

Buckhead Construction and Fred Trainer provided repairs to Papoose Park, and resident Stephen Hackney developed a historically accurate, sustainable landscape design that will be implemented during phase II of the project, Namey said.

She thanked David Brace and Kasey Krouse from the city of Knoxville for their support of the project and the many volunteers from the community who donated time.

City Council OK’s Prosser project

By Betty Bean City Council has approved a $1.4 million contract with Twin K Construction of Helenwood, Tenn., for improvements to Prosser Road between Knoxville Zoo Drive and Magnolia Avenue, a sinkhole-dotted area that has flooded for years.

KUB will kick in more than $288,000 for infrastructure improvements.

The contractor will pay a $200-per-day penalty if the work is not completed on time and $1,000 a day after Sept. 1 if the work on Knoxville Zoo Drive isn’t finished, or if two 12-foot travel lanes open to Prosser Road traffic are not completed (to accommodate the Tennessee Valley Fair).

In response to questions, Engineering Director Jim

Hagerman said the project will be completed by year’s end. He doesn’t anticipate an impact on areas up- or downstream because “the amount of (water) storage remains the same� as the roadbed is raised.

Hagerman said the city will be pumping the Timothy Avenue retention area regularly to reduce the likelihood of flooding there.

Trail lovers sought for new volunteer program The newest way to show Volunteer spirit is through the Trail Volunteer program.

Betsy Pickle

A partnership between Knox County, the city of Knoxville, the town of Farragut, Ijams Nature Center, Outdoor Knoxville and Visit Knoxville, the program gives people who already enjoy using local trails and greenways the chance to be ambassadors for them. “We’re going to take 75 in this first group,� says Doug Bataille, senior director of Knox County’s Parks & Recreation Department. “We may have more than 75 apply, but that’s all we’re going to use this first year because we want it to be manageable and grow it from there if we think we need to.�

Standing in the parking lot at Mead’s Quarry, jumping-off point for several trails into the Urban Wilderness, Bataille says the screening committee is looking for volunteers to cover the entire community. “Certainly there are trails that are more popular than others, but that’s one of the things we’re going to look at in the applications,� says Bataille. “We ask you to tell us your top three trails that you use, so we’re going to try to make sure that we get a volunteer on every single trail.�

Volunteers can be adults of any age or physical condi-

Doug Bataille displays the design for the Trail Volunteer T-shirt. tion. They must be at least 18, own a cell phone and commit to volunteering on a trail at least once a week.

Bataille says they would like to finish collecting applications by the end of this week, select the top 75 applicants, have them complete a national background check and then do training. The goal is to have them out on the trails in their specially designed T-shirts by June.

Volunteers will have to pay for their background checks, but the T-shirts (and matching jackets) are being paid for by sponsors.

Bataille says the “three basic tenets� of the program are to greet, to inform and to assist. “We want these folks to be good, friendly faces on our trail system, to be goodwill ambassadors of the community,� he says. “Where we’ve

seen this program in other communities, it works really well. You have these nice Tshirts that you’re identified by, so people know you’re approachable.�

Trail volunteers will be familiar with the trail they’re on and will be able to help with directions and suggestions for other trails that might be suitable. They will also educate others on trail etiquette and rules.

Volunteers will assist in various ways. Some can help with first aid; others will know how to repair a flat tire on a mountain bicycle. They’ll also be “eyes and ears� to observe maintenance problems on trails and report them. “It’s great to have people out on the trails,� says Sue Stuhl, Farragut’s director of parks and leisure services. “I think it makes people feel

more comfortable if they see a volunteer out there. We have good signage on our greenways, but we still get lots of questions.�

Brian Hann, president of the Appalachian Mountain Bike Club, expects many AMBC members to volunteer. “A lot of our members are excited about it,� says Hann. “Most of our members are really friendly, and they can help out other riders or hikers that are out here. “Almost every trail system or organization like ours has a similar program, so I think this fits really nicely in our mission to assist and inform. It will blend seamlessly with what we’re doing now.�

Remembering Black Wednesday Remember when: â– Knox County Commission meetings were punctuated by long and frequent recesses so the boys could go out back to smoke and return with done deals? â– Mike Arms served two years on county commission while he was chief of staff to county Mayor Mike Ragsdale and nobody said squat? â– County commissioners figured they could pick their successors after a judge booted them out of office for ignoring a term-limits referendum for 13 years?

So Black Wednesday wasn’t all bad. But Jan. 31, 2007, still lives in local infamy, and Knox newcomers who find the term a bit overwrought are probably wondering what, exactly, it was about. And what was the big deal about some old ex-sheriff?

That’s because seven years ago might as well be in the Paleozoic Era. And who remembers 1999, when Sheriff Tim Hutchison demonstrated his clout by getting Big Jim Haslam booted off the

Betty Bean Public Building Authority, which he’d chaired since the beginning of creation? They subsequently made up, but make no mistake: Hutchison was powerful in his domain, and Black Wednesday was about ego, relationships, power and money – just like any other kind of politics.

At the heart of the conflict was Hutchison’s desire to remain eligible for the lucrative Uniformed Officers Pension Plan that was on track to become law before the year was out. Second was his desire to see Ragsdale, with whom he was locked in an ongoing feud, ousted from office.

The first official act of Sheriff Jimmy “J.J.� Jones, the first Black Wednesday appointee, was to create a cushy sinecure for Hutchison until the new pension kicked

in. Jones also kept Lee Tramel, a Hutchison political operative/deputy whose Black Wednesday appointment to commission proved as difficult as a breach birth on a wagon train.

Once installed, Tramel in due time voted for the UOPP. It was expected that his dominant personality would allow him to lead the charge to remove Ragsdale (it didn’t happen that way). Tramel was soundly defeated in 2008 when he ran for the commission seat to which he had been appointed (and subsequently removed by court order).

A gaggle of other former commissioners (all of whom voted for Jones) are now court officers, and Jones is considered a prohibitive favorite to be re-elected.

Trustee candidate Craig Leuthold was a Black Wednesday commissioner who abstained from voting when his father, former commissioner Frank Leuthold, was nominated to replace the ousted John Griess. Leu-

thold is expected to run a strong race, bolstered by the power of incumbency.

Black Wednesday appointee Sherry Witt’s biggest immediate problem was how to remove her Register of Deeds predecessor, Steve Hall, from the big office that was supposed to be hers after she hired him as an assistant. So she waited until he went on one of his trips to Florida and moved his crap out. She is also expected to win re-election.

How, one might ask, do these incumbents, especially Jones, escape the wrath of the voters, who have now twice rejected Hutchison by overwhelming margins?

One insider sums it up like this: “J.J. doesn’t mess with people like Hutch did. He hasn’t built the animosity.

He’s just a nicer guy. All the time Tim spent building an empire ‌ people have to remember that they’re just temporary custodians of these offices. If you don’t, it’ll catch up with you.�

and receive comments like: “Oh, he taught my children and they just loved him.”

Frank brought excitement to a subject that is often not appreciated, and that energy set many students on a path to the appreciation of academic pursuits.

In addition to being a sought-after speaker at many area events, he also serves as music director at Union Cumberland Presbyterian Church.

If there is one single trait that stands out about Frank, whether he is teaching or giving a presentation to a civic group, it is the dynamic component he adds to the presentation. Quite frankly, Frank

is a “showman” and is in his element when performing.

One of the town of Farragut’s most popular programs is the periodic presentation of various historic subjects.

Frank has done several of these programs at the Town Hall and always to a packed house. One of his popular presentations is of events leading up to World War II that culminated in the attack on Pearly Harbor.

And finally, Frank and his partner, Rod Sutch, recently won the Senior Olympics in badminton in the 60-to-64 age group held in Cleveland, Ohio. I asked Frank how he developed an interest in the game, and he said that when he was very young he was walking past a neighbor’s home where they were playing badminton in their front yard. He stopped and watched the action for a while and became fascinated with the game. He thought to himself: “I can do that.” And indeed he can.

I had a recent opportunity to work with Frank on a town project – selecting and developing signage for Founders’ Park on Campbell Station Road. The project

brought together some old Concord natives who are growing fewer with each passing year. Among those were Barbara Beeler, Mona Smith and Jack Bondurant.

The project took longer than anticipated because we probably spent as much time reminiscing about life in the village during the ’50s as we did working on the project.

Frank and I meet occasionally in grocery stores and other area businesses, and we never miss the opportunity to share stories about Old Concord and the interesting people who lived there.

The legacy the Galbraith family left on music and community service is significant. And Frank’s continuation of that family involvement is a legacy to be proud of. But that’s not the most important way Frank will be remembered. His true legacy is the positive influence he had on his students – a legacy that made a difference in young people’s lives.

And as newcomers to our area seek to know more about their community, the Galbraith family name is one they are sure to encounter many times.

rity. Others become stars.

Through the years, some pretty good names have appeared on the Andy Spiva Award list; Reggie White, Keith DeLong and John Henderson come to mind.

Touch of Tennessee: There will be a touch of Tennessee on some hot coaching jobs this autumn. Kurt Roper, new offensive coordinator at Florida, is supposed to teach and refine his no-huddle, hurry-up plan of attack and save head coach Will Muschamp’s job.

Lane Kiffin is charged with leading the Alabama offense in pursuit of Auburn while keeping his mouth mostly closed and avoiding conflict with Nick Saban.

Kurt Roper was three

times at Tennessee on his way up. He was a lad playing around on the rug when his dad, Bobby, was defensive coordinator on John Majors’ staff in the late 1970s.

Kurt began coaching as a Tennessee graduate assistant in 1996. He returned in 2006 as coach of running backs.

Roper was quarterback coach for David Cutcliffe at Ole Miss (Eli Manning) and Duke. Most quarterback coaches are thought to be cerebral, easygoing, mild mannered, even soft on players. Roper is tough.

“I have more of my dad’s defensive mentality with how I try to coach,” Kurt said. “It’s just the Roper coming out in me I guess.

Everything that I do on a

football field comes from my dad.”

Kiffin at Alabama? I don’t know what to think. He doesn’t say much.

Basketball anyone?

Bruce Pearl recruited the top-ranked junior college player in the country, 6-7 power forward Cinmeon Bowers, from Chipola to Auburn.

Large catch. Bowers is famous. He does come with baggage. He was originally signed by Florida State but was released after being accused of eating marijuana in order to conceal it from police.

Junior college has a cleansing effect on top talent.

Concord’s first families: The Galbraiths Like many hamlets that grew up along transportation routes, Concord began in 1854 when the East Tennessee and Georgia Railway, now Norfolk-Southern, began laying track along Sinking Creek.

One of the large landowners, James Martin Rodgers, realized the boon this would be to the area and laid out a village of 54 lots and called it Concord, a name that was taken from the nearby Concord Cumberland Presbyterian Church where he and many of his friends were members.

One of the original purchasers of the lots was the Galbraith family, which became one of the village’s founding families. From the earliest years, the family has been active in both the civic and cultural aspects of the village. Frank Galbraith Sr., the grandfather of Frank Galbraith III, opened a mortuary in the late 1800s that served the community for many years.

Most of my knowledge of the family’s early community

involvement came from other early families, but the one family member that I know personally is Frank Galbraith III. We grew up together in the village and graduated from Farragut High School.

Although we were a few years apart in age, we rode the same school bus and participated in village activities, which were mostly church-centered events.

Frank’s mother, Mrs. Fancher Smart Galbraith, was legendary in the community and was recognized as one of the most talented pianists in East Tennessee.

She began teaching piano when she was only 12 years old, and after graduating from Maryville College in 1929, she began a career as music teacher at Farra-

Mrs. Galbraith passed away in 1967 and left a legacy that goes much beyond her musical talent. She was involved in the performing arts but always preferred to remain in the background and let others take the credit.

She believed in giving back to the community, and it is no surprise that Frank III came by his musical talent as a continuum of the family tradition. In addition to playing piano, Frank is an accomplished guitarist, and I am one of his former students. Frank teaches music in a way that inspired me to practice and look forward to the next lesson.

Frank is now retired from a career as a seventhgrade history teacher at Farragut Middle School.

Howard Anthony Spiva was a very busy linebacker in the declining years of the Bill Battle era. He set the school record with 194 tackles in 1976. He was almost as good as a sophomore and junior. His record for career hits, 547, still stands. He caused the most fumbles, 14, in school history.

Think about that – more than Steve Kiner and Al Wilson.

Spiva played a few minutes for the Atlanta Falcons.

Alas and alack, he died young, at 24, after an Atlanta auto accident.

Jesus Love so amazing May I never boast of anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. For neither circumcision nor uncircumcision is anything; but a new creation is everything!

(Galatians 6:14-15 NRSV) Were the whole realm of nature mine, That were an offering far too small; Love so amazing, so divine, Demands my soul, my life, my all. (“When I Survey the Wondrous Cross,” Isaac Watts, 1707)

Mike Rivera reacts as the disciple James during the dramatic presentation.

The mood was set. Lights were dimmed, and a table spanned the length of the stage. Ancient music filled the room as the audience was ushered back through the corridors of time to watch a reenactment of Jesus’ Last Supper.

On Sunday, April 13, Westgate Christian Fellowship’s congregation watched as the Living Last Supper came to life in a beautiful drama before their eyes. Candles flickered on the table that seated 12 church members dressed as Jesus’ disciples. Jesus, played by pastor Mark Steinbach, taught the disciples as well as the onlookers from Bible scripture as he reenacted the last meal the Bible records before Jesus’ death.

This is the second year the church has presented the drama, which church leaders say is meant to encourage and inspire Westgate members and the Knoxville community to deepen their relationship with Jesus. And at the end of the production, communion was offered to those gathered.

The evening was full of emotion, with music adding to the celebration of the Last Supper. Hannah Koekenburg and Heather William sang, and 15-year-old Hope Steinbach performed a piano solo. William, the director of children’s ministry and music ministry at the church, was narrator for the evening. The church is at 1110 Lovell Road.

Sisters Catherine Beals and Eleanor Barker eat bitter herbs on matzo bread. The food itself is part of worship, Daniel Gillespie explained.

Understanding the Seder meal

By Wendy Smith The Passover is a celebration of life, and when Christians observe it, it is also an opportunity to celebrate their Jewish roots.

Members of Second Presbyterian Church, 2829 Kingston Pike, learned some of the history and meaning of the Seder meal from Daniel Gillespie of Shomair Yisrael Messianic Jewish Congregation, 2554 Sutherland Ave. Gillespie’s wife, Berelyn, performed the blessings.

Messianic Jewish synagogues are different from churches in that worship

places an emphasis on Messianic Jewish expression.

Theologically, the faiths are very similar, he said.

The Seder’s emphasis on Yeshua, or Jesus, differentiated it from a traditional Jewish ritual. The Seder plate included a green vegetable, apple and nuts, bitter herbs and an egg. The shank bone, which represents the Passover lamb, is missing because Yeshua was raised from the dead, he said.

“It’s a reminder that Yeshua is coming back.”

During the Seder, which means order, the meal it-

self is considered worship.

It is also interactive and demonstrates the importance of community in the Jewish faith.

sible for governing. To say that Pilate was nervous is an understatement.

To have the crowds see Jesus as the King amounted to a potential coup d’etat, if not an actual one.

That was on Sunday.

By Friday of the same week, Jesus had taught in the Temple, read and commented on the hearts of those who put offerings in the Temple coffers (I believe he still reads the hearts of people today, every time the offering plate is passed!), sparred with the chief priests and scribes, outwitted the Sadducees, eaten a final Passover meal with his disciples, been betrayed by one of the Twelve, endured a brutal beating by the Roman authorities, died a horrific execution by a method designed to inflict significant pain, and been buried and sealed in a tomb.

Did he know the end of the story when he was being tortured?

There is no way we can know the answer to that.

He did know, however, and said as much, that he was in God’s hands.

At the end he offered his spirit back to God, just as he had lived his life: in complete and utter trust that he belonged to God, and that God knew what God was doing. We should live so well!

that overrides everything.

It’s not a single individual; it’s a community. That’s significant because it plays into the idea of who the Messiah was and what he would do,” said Daniel Gillespie.

Sometimes I think we lose sight of the big picture.

During Holy Week we focus so intently on the passion – the suffering – of Jesus that we see him as a victim.

Don’t misunderstand me.

It is important, even necessary, that we walk with him through the last days of his earthly life. We cannot, dare not, enjoy the triumph of Palm Sunday and then skip directly to Easter morning.

If we see Jesus as a victim, however, we lose sight of the Christ. If we see Jesus as a victim, we misunderstand exactly what was going on. We forget that Jesus, even under the burden of the cross that he carried on his flogged and bleeding back, went up the hill to Golgotha of his own free will.

Remember what he had said on the Sunday before as he rode into Jerusalem on a colt, with ardent admirers putting down palm branches in the road ahead of him, the crowds shouting, “Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord”?

Some Pharisees urged him to put a stop to the accolades.

He countered, “I tell you, if these were silent, the stones would shout out.” He was the King, and he knew it.

Jesus also knew that his entrance into Jerusalem – the seat of Roman power in this small corner of the vast Roman Empire – had made the Roman authorities nervous. Thousands of Jewish pilgrims from all over the known world came to Jerusalem for Passover.

The city was crowded with a polyglot population, and Pontius Pilate was respon-

‘Steel Magnolias’ at West Valley

By Sara Barrett A tightly knit group of girls at West Valley Middle School will perform “Steel Magnolias” at 7 p.m. Thursday through Saturday, April 24-26, in the school’s auditorium.

Admission is $4, and all proceeds help with production expenses.

Drama Club adviser Kelly Dreher said she picked this production specifically for this group of girls. Most of the boys in drama were already scheduled to perform in the musical “Music Man,” so Dreher had to choose something emphasizing female performers.

“I wanted to pick something to show this group’s friendship,” said Dreher. “These are such talented kids, and I am so impressed with the level of work they’re able to do at this age. For most of them, this is their first performance ever.”

“Steel Magnolias” will be the school’s last drama performance of this school year.

Dreher will be teaching at Bearden High School next year, and so far, no one has come forward to take over the Drama Club.

Yet another reason this production is not to be missed.

West High School’s IB counselor Sarah Bast and principal Katherine Banner discuss its ranking by the Washington Post.

WHS ranks with Washington Post Washington Post recently released this year’s “America’s Most Challenging High Schools,” and West High School fared well.

Sara Barrett

Nationally, the Post puts WHS at 512th, up from 827th last year. It also ranked fourth in the state.

This ranking takes into account West High School’s population that receives free or reduced meals, which is something other rankings don’t typically consider.

“West does a pretty good job of providing access to students. For instance,

Tomorrow’s engineers at Webb Webb School of Knoxville students Kasper Gammeltoft, Ryan Jacobs, Samir Martin, Samuel Copeland, Gabriel Dagotto, Sanchit Wadhawan, Henry Swaffield and Sarah Lucas (pictured with physics teacher Jenifer Lawrie at far left) earned the highest score in the state during this year’s TEAMS competition “Engineering Tomorrow’s Cities.” Tests of Engineering Aptitude, Mathematics and Science is an annual STEM competition where students work together to solve real-world challenges.

REALTY EXCUTIVES INTERNATIONAL 2013 TOP AWARDS • REA awarded Fastest Growing Realty Executives Franchise for Agent Count

The desire to create original clothing designs for her young daughter led Samantha Miller in a direction she never expected, including the recent opening of Sado Boutique, a children’s clothing store on Kingston Pike.

The store’s grand opening had a steady crowd of customers coming in to see the new shop and Miller’s collection. “Princess Elsa,� a character in the movie “Frozen,� was on hand to sing and read stories to children who gathered around.

The enterprise that started as a hobby has continued to grow over the past couple of years. Miller began selling her vintage-style designs on Etsy, an online community of shops for handmade items and other goods. The popularity of her clothing in the online store grew. “I did really well,� she said. “I was sewing everything myself.�

She hired two helpers with the work and eventually went to a manufacturing plant. She opened a store called Little Bella Boutique in 2011 in Powell that also served as a wholesale facility to distribute to boutiques across the United States.

She now sells the Sado label to about 140 boutiques.

Miller said the clothing mirrors her own sense of style. “It’s kind of a vintage-inspired line. It goes from 12 months to 10 years. My style is more of a Bohemian vintage style. I’ve just always liked the look, and there’s not a lot for little kids.�

Her style suits the trend toward family photos in fields and outdoor venues.

Samantha Miller, owner of Sado Boutique and designer of the Sado clothing label, stands in front of some of her creations.

She also offers a small line for women so that mother/daughter outfits can be put together.

Miller, 28, has five children including her biological daughter, two adopted children and two foster children, who are in the process of being adopted.

Her operation began to outgrow its space in Powell, so Miller started scouting for a new location.

The store space next to Chuck E. Cheese was available, and Miller knew that was a good fit. She maintains the location in Powell for the wholesale side of her business, but it is not open to the public.

When she moved her business, she decided to make a name change because she offers up to size

Unique mother/daughter bond

By Sara Barrett Anoula McCarren and her daughter, 5th grader Alexa, have a special bond.

Typical of mothers and daughters, yes, but this bond is something a mother would never wish on her daughter. Both Anoula and Alexa are living with diabetes.

“I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes when I was 2-years-old and have had it for almost 47 years,” said McCarren.

“I took several injections a day. For years, I was told I could not have children and that I could not be a police officer or be in the military. No one would hire anyone with Type 1 diabetes. Then of course, you got questions

Alexa and Anoula McCarren Photo submitted

like, ‘Is it contagious? Will it go away?’ and ‘Is it ok for you to get married?’

I realize it sounds so crazy, but these were questions that were asked.”

McCarren is now helping her daughter deal with similar questions as she grows up with the same challenge. Alexa was diag-

nosed with Type 1 diabetes at 9-months-old. She was put on an insulin pump a month later.

The McCarrens want to encourage everyone to support the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation by participating in the 5K JDRF Walk 10 a.m. this Saturday, April 26, at the World’s Fair Park. Registration starts at 8:30 a.m.

“Every year, my daughter and I participate in the walk,” said McCarren. “It is Northshore Elementary School students Kayleigh Smith, Elyse Lundberg, Abby Mahoney, Riley a time when we feel more of Spining, Emma James, Emily O’Neal and Skylar Gleason enjoy a private Frozen-themed party a connection than ever be- after two of the girls won a raffle at the school’s spring carnival. Photos by S. Barrett fore. My dream, my mother’s dream and every mother out there with a child has a dream for this disease to be cured.”

A ‘Frozen’ affair at Northshore Elementary

By Sara Barrett

Northshore Elementary School recently hosted a spring carnival in which a raffle was held by faculty members giving students a number of opportunities to win. Assistant principal Carl Whipple gave free recorder lessons to one lucky

student, and there were also free trips to get frozen yogurt, free tickets to the movies and working a halfday as an office worker.

Fourth grade teacher Alyssa Jordan gave away a Frozen-themed party. Students Emily O’Neal and Abby Mahoney won and invited

friends Kayleigh Smith, Elyse Lundberg, Riley Spining, Emma James and Skylar Gleason to join them.

The group stayed after school one afternoon and partied in Jordan’s classroom. They enjoyed pizza and homemade ice cream while watching the film “Frozen”.

Middle school hits the road At Concord Christian School, field trips are designed to excite and engage our students with “hands-on learning" opportunities. These outings move the learning experience from the classroom into the world. CCS Middle School road trips provide opportunities for students to see monuments, historical sights and museums first-hand, as well as have interactive experiences with subject experts.

CCS Middle School students and teachers have recently returned from several exciting adventures on the road. Each trip had the right balance of fun and education. The CCS teachers took flat pages of text books and brought the class room theory into reality for their students as they took learning on the road.

Sixth grade to Nashville, Tenn.

“The 6th grade Nashville trip was amazing!” band director Matthew Stevens said. “Dr. Seuss said it right, ‘Oh, the places you’ll go! Congratulations! You’re off to great places.

You’re off and away!’”

And go they did, visiting the Hermitage, the State Capitol, the Tennessee Museum, Adventure Science Museum, the Parthenon and the Musicians Hall of Fame Tour.

History teacher Missy Harold said, “As a 6th grade teacher, I loved watching students experience history coming to life in Nashville. Ancient Greek classroom knowledge became real while students stood at the base of Athena inside the Parthenon.”

Seventh grade to Space Camp This trip to Space Camp closely coordinated with the science material that the students have been learning this year. The students were able to experience hands-on all of the

concepts that they had mastered during the course of the year, as well as learn the history of the space program.

This action-packed trip included launching rockets and participating in a simulated mission, as well as a “Space Bowl” competition.

Laura Rose, CCS science teacher said, “It was so gratifying to see students explore historical artifacts and participate in training missions with the knowledge base to comprehend all that they were experiencing. Watching the students work together to solve problems and perform realistic missions were highlights of this valuable trip!”

Eighth grade to Washington, D.C. Science teacher Katie Ratliff summed up this trip so well.

“I was really impressed with this group of 8th graders. They really loved touring our nation's capital with their classmates.

They enjoyed the Newseum and seeing pieces of history come to life, what some people went through to report what was happening around the world, and what it cost them to report the truth. They were humbled walking through the Vietnam and Korean Memorial, seeing the names of the men and women who gave their lives to defend our country. They paid their respects to Marines who sacrificed themselves for our freedom on a night visit to the Iwo Jima Memorial. We also even toured our Capitol building with a special tour from (U.S. Rep. John Duncan Jr.), seeing many sights not normally seen, like the prayer room and the Senate!

“God blessed us with a wonderful trip full of so many memories, from touring the sites, visiting museums, and even seeing ‘God’s Not Dead’ in a theater! It was such an amaz-

ing experience for our students to bond with each other and grow even closer to our Lord.”

History teacher Ernie Bussell added, “This year’s 8th grade trip to Monticello and Washington, D.C. was truly great. The experiences of actually seeing the homes of Jefferson and Lee, speaking with members of Congress and viewing the everyday actions of its members, standing in the footsteps of Martin Luther King, Jr., and looking upon the graves and monuments of our nation’s fallen heroes are those that cannot be replicated in a text book. This is learning at its best.”

Middle and High School Principal Amanda Lane stated, “Concord Christian School is committed to providing opportunities such as these for experiential education, trips that challenge our students academically, physically, spiritually, socially, and creatively. We want our students to engage in learning beyond the classroom walls, develop critical thinking skills, see and experience the world and understand God’s plan for their lives as well as have opportunities to live an active faith!”

Bradley and Tyson Smith.

Summer sports camps

Summer is a great opportunity for student athletes to build skills or learn a new sport. The camps that will be offered at the Concord Christian School campus include volleyball, football, boys basketball, girls basketball, soccer and cheerleading. All camps are open to students of any school and will be led by coaches who have either played or coached their sport at the college level. CCS Athletic Director and former Vol Rob Murphy states, “CCS is excited to offer the most extensive array of sports camps to date.”

Camp times and grade levels vary. Please see www.concordchristiansports.com for details and registration information.

Lifesong performs at CCS Elementary students at Concord Christian School received a blessing at a recent chapel. Children from Lifesong Orphanage School in Zambia gave thanks and praised the Lord with song and drums in their native language. These same children were blessed by CCS students two years ago when over $6,000 was collected to purchase uniforms.

Jamie Hensley, CCS music teacher, said, “Today God has allowed us to see the impact of our giving this side of heaven.”

Holly Zachary, CCS parent and organizer, said that it was a mission project that God brought to her through a mutual friend, Mitzi McBride. Zachary felt that since CCS students wore uniforms to school, they could easily understand the needs of students who had none. CCS set the objective of earning enough to purchase uniforms and shoes for each Lifesong student. CCS students were challenged to help the Lifesong students in Zambia by completing chores and using their earnings to bless others.

McBride is in the U.S. for the next month travel-

ing with this group of students from Zambia. Mitzi and her husband have been ministering to these children for the last three years, and they love it.

Lifesong Zambia seeks to share Christ with children in the Kitwe community by providing education and provision to the future leaders of Zambia.

The school currently has 350 students with 40 incountry staff. The ministry of Lifesong is bringing joy and purpose to orphans. Additional information is available at www.lifesongfororphans.org.

To thank Concord Christian School for its support, McBride presented Elementary Principal Leigh Ledet with a painting made by one of the Lifesong children.

Ledet responded, “Wow, we have been so blessed today by these students from Zambia!

They have shared with us a beautiful testimony in song of their love for Jesus. CCS partners with First Baptist Concord to impact our community, the country and the continents with the love of Christ! How incredible for our students to meet these children and hear how God used their gifts to meet the needs of students in Africa.”

are headed towards easy to access, family-friendly destinations like beaches, theme parks and zoos.

Sixty three percent of respondents said car trips are the preferred mode of travel because they are easier on the budget and also ensure that the vacation will be an adventure.

Save on Lodging, Park Admission Fees Families are increasingly looking for ways to stretch the dollar. Half of the survey respondents agreed that hotels and lodging generally eat up most of the budget. Search for ways to save in other places by being flexible with dates or traveling to locations that are off the beaten path. You can use rewards points you’ve accumulated towards lodging or airfare expenses. Some travel rewards credit cards let you use points to “pay yourself back” for any type of travel purchase through a statement credit. You can even use points to pay for theme park tickets and camp sites.

Pay with Your Card

Budget-Friendly Travel Tips With a winter that never seems to end, families are aching to enjoy some fun in the sun, turning their attention to a well-deserved getaway.

According to a recent Bank of America survey, 46 percent of Americans plan on hitting the road and organizing family-friendly vacations this year. But nearly half of these survey respondents, 48 percent, said the most difficult part of planning a trip is managing a budget.

Fun, Affordable Vacations Travel Channel host Samantha Brown has trekked the globe and is an ace at keeping costs low while maximizing adventure. She shares a few budget sav-

ing tips for the millions of Americans looking to take a family vacation and ensure lasting memories.

“When you start researching vacation destinations, it’s important to keep in mind that a good rewards card can help to offset travel costs,” Brown said. “I find that using credit cards like the BankAmericard Travel Rewards credit card gives you great flexibility in how to use your points to cover travel expenses ... more than just for flights. You can book your travel whenever, however you choose so there are no restrictions or blackouts.”

Most families (77 percent) pay for purchases during vacations with credit cards. This not only minimizes the amount of cash or travelers checks you should carry, but it allows you to offset costs.

Since most places accept credit cards, think about using a rewards card for big ticket expenses like gas, theme park admission and hotels. If you use a rewards credit card for those purchases, it frees up cash for smaller expenses and also accumulates points that you can use on your next vacation. Look for a card like the BankAmericard Travel Rewards card where you can earn 1.5 points for every dollar spent on purchases, every time. Then these points can be used to get a statement credit to cover your flights, hotels, vacation packages, cruises, rental cars or baggage fees.

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

Quick thinking saves stroke victim’s life During a stroke, every second counts.

Ellen Sullivan of Richland, Miss., knew time was important on March 13 when her husband, Bert Sullivan, suddenly had several symptoms of a stroke. He had one previously in 2001, so she knew it was crucial to get him to a hospital quickly.

A stroke, often called a “brain attack,” is when a blood vessel in the brain becomes blocked or ruptures.

The Sullivans were visiting with family in a Sevierville hotel. They were sitting down to breakfast when Bert’s speech became confused. “And then I saw his face start to droop. I knew he was having a stroke,” Ellen Sullivan said.

“My sister-in-law went to call 911, and the ambulance arrived quickly, and, of course, they saw he was having a stroke, too,” she said.

Emergency personnel took Sullivan to Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center. As a Comprehensive Stroke Center, Fort Sanders has stroke experts on call 24 hours a day and advanced technology and physicians who can remove blood clots or repair bleeds. When a stroke diagnosis is assured, emergency personnel will take patients directly to Fort Sanders Regional.

If the diagnosis is unknown, patients are taken to Regional’s sister facility LeConte Medical Center for diagnostic testing.

“The young man who drove the ambulance was so good, we practically floated to the hospital,” said Ellen Sullivan. “They took care of Bert and me, and let me know what was going on.”

About 87 percent of strokes are caused by blood clots. If a clot is

Bert and Ellen Sullivan celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary with their grandchildren. The Mississippi residents found themselves at Fort Sanders Regional when visiting East Tennessee in March. Bert Sullivan received life-saving care after suffering a stroke and is now back home and undergoing therapy. diagnosed within the first three hours, it can be treated with a powerful clot-busting medication called tPA (tissue plasminogen activator).

While many people do not seek treatment during the time window (for example, if their stroke occurs during the night), Sullivan was fortunate that his stroke happened while he was awake, and that his family called for help.

Sullivan received tPA. He was also taken to Fort Sanders’ neurointerventional suite. There, neuroradiologist Dr. Eric Nyberg and diagnostic radiologist Dr. Scott Wegryn removed the blot clot in a minimally invasive procedure called brain angioplasty.

“This is a good example of an interdisciplinary team working to provide care,” said Dr. James

Hora, a neurologist at Fort Sanders who also saw Sullivan.

“The emergency room physician recognized the stroke. The interventional radiologist recorded the clot on the CT angiogram.

We got called and confirmed the stroke and discussed the options with Mr. Sullivan and his family, and we made a decision all of us together. Off he went to the neuro-

interventional suite, and he did very well,” said Hora.

Ellen Sullivan said all her husband’s treatments were finished within two hours. “We were there at 9:10 a.m. and I’d say they were done with everything at 11 a.m.,” she said.

“Dr. Nyberg came in to the waiting room, and he was so good about letting us know what was going on. He talked on the phone with my son who is a nurse in Mississippi. I thought that was going above and beyond the call of duty.”

Ellen Sullivan said she received a warm welcome at Fort Sanders.

“The people there were so nice to me,” said Ellen Sullivan. “Bert got the best of care, and the two young ladies working the desk really took care of us. Even the man cleaning the floor offered us cookies from his church. He said they were made with love for all of us.”

Bert Sullivan was able to go home to Mississippi in record time.

“They thought it was going to be two weeks, then it was one week.

Well, we were out of there in four days!” said Ellen Sullivan. “I feel like Bert got the best care and they saved his life with their efficiency and speed. They worked so well together.”

Today, Sullivan is undergoing speech and physical therapy near his home and is making steady improvement from his stroke, Ellen Sullivan said.

“We’re just praying for complete recovery. This was a very emotional, bad time,” she said.

“But at Fort Sanders you felt the comfort that you do when you’re at home.”

Recognize the signs of a stroke FAST! The early symptoms of stroke are often overlooked or ignored. If you suspect that you or a loved one is having a stroke, think FAST:

F – FACE: Look at your face. Is one side sagging?

A – ARMS: Hold out your arms. Is one arm lower than the other or harder to hold in place?

S – SPEECH: Is your speech slurred or garbled?

T – TIME: Time is critical when trying to minimize the effects of stroke.

Call 911 and get to a hospital as quickly as possible. And be sure your hospital is a stroke-ready, Comprehensive Stroke Center, like Fort Sanders Regional.

Advanced stroke program recognizes certification’s one-year anniversary Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center is marking its one-year anniversary of earning its Advanced Certification for Comprehensive Stroke Centers by The Joint Commission.

This certification recognizes that Fort Sanders has devoted significant resources to infrastructure, staff and training to provide stateof-the-art complex stroke care. As part of the effort, Fort Sanders is developing a team of neurohospitalists as well. These are neurologists who work only at the hospital and do not have a private practice of their own.

“We have neurologists in the hospital on a full-time basis,” explained

Dr. James Hora, Fort Sanders’ first neurohospitalist.

“We are hospitalbased and do nothing but see acute neurologic problems in the hospital.”

Hora said an additional neurologist will be on staff Dr. James Hora in summer 2013, and he also has a nurse practitioner working with him, Krystel Hatfield.

“I assist in seeing and treating patients alongside Dr. Hora,” said Hatfield. “I also serve as a resource for many aspects of the Stroke Cen-

ter. This includes providing education and support for nurses as well as patients and their families.”

By having dedicated staff assigned to stroke and other neurological patients, Fort Sanders is able to offer quick and quality care to anyone with a brain injury or illness.

“It makes access to specialized neurologists easier,” said Hora.

“We have 24/7 coverage, and this will provide more rapid access to a neurologist for acute neurologic problems.

“When it comes to stroke, we always say ‘Time is brain.’ The faster we can get to somebody, the better the outcome will tend to be.”

Krystel Hatfield, Nurse Practitioner at the Stroke Center at Fort Sanders Regional

Not to be missed Now that spring is really here – we hope – folks are out and about, enjoying the natural beauty of the area.

It’s the season for garden prep, wildflower walks and Dogwood Trail drives.

Or you might want to consider taking in some people-created beauty.

Right now there’s a glorious house you need to see, benefiting a worthy cause.

The 2014 Knoxville Symphony League Show House had its grand opening on April 10, with a classic evening of chamber music played by Knoxville Symphony musicians.

If you’re a fan of upscale architecture, decorating and landscaping, you should take your family and friends to see the residence, located near Concord Park in Farragut, while you can. Plenty of oohs and aahs await!

It’s done in a French country style, built with empty-nesters in mind, and features the best of local designers and materials.

Guests are asked to don blue bootees over their footwear in order to protect the beautiful hardwood floors.

Scott Bishop of Westwood Antique and Design Market was thrilled to contribute to the house’s interior design. “We did the landing and the upstairs hall,� he said. “We started with a painted chest that has a three-masted sailing ship painted on the front and a beautiful shade of deep blue all over with gold trim. Because of that piece, we used a mixture of antique and newer

Carol’s Corner artwork, all of which is about water or sailing.�

Original paintings include oils and watercolors by Buck Ewing and Carl Sublett, and there’s a custom-made lamp that Bishop called “quite a statement piece.� He went on to describe a master suite “to die for� and a wonderful screened porch. “It’s probably the best show house in five or six years – well worth the trip to see it.�

Speaking of that master suite, decorative painter Annalee Bohon of Annalee B Studios had something to say.

When designer Janice Moore hired her to paint a faux finish on the tray ceiling, she says she looked to the “classic style of antique mirrors� for inspiration. “The brightness of the metallic silver foil is modulated by the underlying darker shades, and by the subtle overlay of a warm, antique glaze. The oversized diamond pattern reflects the scale of the room and adds interest without busyness. The overall effect is one of restful contemplation.�

features similar attention to detail. Carolyn Lawrence, president of the Knoxville Symphony League, promises a “journey that will awaken each of your senses through the diverse facets of this year’s Show House experience.�

Music education is the primary philanthropy of the Knoxville Symphony League. Through events such as the Show House tour, more than $200,000 is raised in support of education each season. By visiting the house, you’ll be supporting talented young area musicians through scholarships and other funding for

the KSO Youth Orchestras.

Some symphony musicians came to the opening just for the tour. Bassoonist Aaron Apaza liked the upstairs game room. “It had a nautical theme, a really nice sitting area, a bar area and a pool table. I could definitely see spending the better part of a weekend hanging out in the game room!� he said with a laugh.

And cellist Andy Bryenton enjoyed the grand opening, noting that “a tux and blue bootees are a very interesting fashion combination.� Filling such a grand house with music was a pleasure for the musicians.

“We played Haydn and Mozart quartets,� said Bryenton. “It’s chamber music, played in a private home.

And that’s what chamber music is for!�

Joy in Antigua

Knoxville Medical Mission ‘a miracle’ for Guatemalans in need Antigua, Guatemala, is a place where a birth defect can send a child to the orphanage, and a broken leg can be a death sentence.

But because of Obras Sociales del Santo Hermano Pedro, it’s also a place of hope, miracles and thanksgiving.

This is what draws Dr. Paul Naylor, co-director of Parkwest Medical Center’s Joint Center, to the Catholic church at Antigua twice a year as the Knoxville Medical Mission continues its medical outreach to the poor residents of the Central American city.

“If you don’t shed a tear there, you don’t have a heart,” says Naylor, who has not only organized the trips for the last 14 years, but also seeks funding and donations from individuals and medical equipment suppliers. Plus, he jokingly adds, he’s also president, vicepresident, secretary and treasurer of the not-for-profit organization.

According to Naylor, the Knoxville Medical Mission was born out of Parkwest physicians’ desire to give back to the community.

“A bunch of us were in the doctor’s lounge at Parkwest one day, and Dr. Lytle Brown, a general surgeon at Parkwest, said we should do something to give back,” Naylor recalled. “We all agreed but we didn’t know how. We asked, ‘What can we do?’ and Dr. Brown said, ‘We’re surgeons – we can operate somewhere.’ We came up with all kinds of crazy ideas like going to the Philippine jungle, but you can’t operate in the jungle. We realized that wouldn’t work because we had to have equipment, and we had to bring it somewhere that we can fly into.”

Overhearing their conversation, a nurse anesthetist from Guatemala, suggested they consider Antigua where a church was operating an orphanage and offering mental healthcare and eye care, yet wanting to do more.

It sounded perfect.

Tucked away in the central highlands of Guatemala, the 471-year-old city is known for its well-preserved Spanish Baroque architecture, coffee farms and volcanoes. But it is at Obras Sociales

After contacting the church’s padre, the missionaries made their first trip in 2000. But when Naylor and his volunteer army of 25 surgeons, nurses, anesthetists and scrub techs arrived, they

found that the church’s bare “hospital” rooms were in such disrepair that they could see through the ceiling.

“We were pretty naive,” Naylor recounted in a 2009 interview with the Knoxville News Sentinel. “We went down thinking, ‘OK, we’re going to fi x people.’ We didn’t have enough supplies. We didn’t have the right equipment. It was pretty backward.”

But thanks to the Knoxville Medical Mission, countless medical supply companies, private and corporate donors, and other mission-minded physician groups, that is no longer the case.

“We’ve since built it up until they have four of the best operating rooms in the whole country,” said Naylor. “Joint instruments, trauma instruments – we’ve got all kinds of stuff. Between us and another group out of Texas called Faith in Practice, we have brought tons of supplies there. So we’ve worked with them until it is truly state-of-the-art in Guatemala and the hospital is operating 36 to 40 weeks a year.”

The Knoxville Medical Mission makes back-to-back, weeklong

trips to the church twice a year, usually bringing about 30 medical professionals with them each time along with supplies. This year’s trips were Jan. 11-18 and Jan. 18-25 and included Parkwest physicians Dr. Willard Campbell, Dr. Kenneth R. O’Kelley, Dr. Lionel McCollum, Dr. Eric Nicely, Dr. Tracy Pesut and Dr. Naylor.

The work they do when they arrive is mostly determined by Naylor in the fall ahead of the January visits.

“I’ll go down there in September or October and screen about 500 people and decide who we are going to operate on. Then, I’ll come back to Knoxville and tailor our supplies to the patients we’ll have,” said Naylor. “I’ll call up different vendors and say, ‘I need so many total knees’ or ‘I need so many total plates for broken arms, so many plates for legs.’ And I’ll call up our pediatric guy and say, ‘We’ve got 20 club feet. We need to bring along supplies for 20 club feet, the right pins and plates.

Once I find out the number of patients we’ll operate on, I go to all the vendors and ask if they’ll donate.”

On average, the group will operate on 145 to 180 cases in the two-week period.

“We try to do as many as we can,” Naylor added. “We work from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. every day, and we usually go until we run out of supplies. At the end of the week, I’m telling the Padre, ‘Go find me a broken arm – I’ve got one plate left for a broken arm.’ So he goes wandering out into the streets and comes back with somebody who’s had a broken arm for weeks.
