Miracle Maker As the Knoxville Zoo’s outreach and outdoor science coordinator, Steve McGaffin has carted furry, scaly and feathery friends all over East Tennessee in the Zoomobile. But for the past two years, McGaffin has been attracting another sort of friend – the six-legged kind. It’s all part of the zoo’s educational outreach program.

STEM fun at Sequoyah By W B Wendy d Smith S ih

If you’re smarter than a Sequoyah Hills Elementary School 5th-grader, you have to be able to build a solar car. Graduate students from CURENT (Center for Ultra-WideArea Resilient Electric Energy Transmission Networks) engineering research center at UT brought kits and instruction sheets for the sun-powered toys to the school last week, and within a few minutes, students were racing the cars down the sidewalk. “They’re pretty darn easy,” CURENT representative Adam Hardebeck says of the project, which is built from two blocks of wood, four wheels, an engine, a solar panel, and a few other odds and ends. “But it’s a big-picture activity that will get kids interested in science, ideally.” CURENT’s grant from the National Science Foundation and the Department of Energy requires the center to reach out to schools, and it has partnered with Se-

What’s in a name? “I have always been fascinated by street names and their origin,” Malcolm Shell writes. “For the most part, developers often name streets after their families or after street names they have seen in other areas. Some use the name of the former owner if it has historical significance (i.e. Smithfield subdivision). “A the real mystery was a street in my subdivision.”

A good HABIT Ever wonder what happened to Little Brown Dog? She was the adorable little puppy whose story of being intentionally dragged behind a moving vehicle until she was almost dead broke our hearts. The magicians at UT Veterinary Hospital who pose as doctors managed to save her and a great outpouring of love and support from the public paid most of her medical bills, and then … she got a job. It’s true.

Knoxville City Council has approved on first reading the closing of the blocklong Ben Atchley Street which runs between Kingston Pike and Homberg Drive in Bearden. The final vote will take place at Council’s next meeting on May 28. Developer Tony Cappiello’s request for the road closure had originally been turned down by Metropolitan Planning Commission (MPC) and is before Council on appeal. Cappiello said the road closure will provide needed parking space and make for a more cohesive look for his larger project, which will include an Anthropologie store in the former Cleveland Interiors building and a

small L-shaped shopping center to be built to the east of that on the former Backyard Burgers site. Cappiello says the road bisects the development he has planned, and that with its closure he can build a more pedestrian-friendly, bike-friendly and well-landscaped area, in keeping with the overall look of Bearden. The street closing has opposition from some business owners in the area, who hired attorney John King to represent them. King pointed out the appraised value of the land where the street is located is $235,000. Cappiello’s attorney, Arthur Seymour, countered that private ownership of the property will return money to the tax rolls.

Sign task force looks for consensus By Betty Bean The push to make Knoxville a more beautiful city and the pushback from businesses that rely on signage to drive customers to their doors have made the work of City Council’s Sign Ordinance Task Force a challenging enterprise. They went to work in February 2012 and hope to finish soon.

Analysis Can both Joyce Feld and Bill Weigel walk away happy? (Feld chairs Scenic Knoxville, which opposes big signs. Weigel is CEO of the local chain of convenience stores that has 80 outlets bearing his name and has a longestablished brand, promoted via signage and distinctive façade.) “That was a challenge, but they’ve both been great,” said task force chair Duane Grieve,

who represents the beautification-conscious Bearden area on City Council. “This task force has been dedicated, sincere and a good cross-representation. I’ll bet there’s been less than 10 percent absenteeism.” He said the assistance of MPC director Mark Donaldson has been invaluable. Grieve started the task force’s work by putting everyone on a bus and touring the city. He said one impression was shared by almost everyone, whatever their point of view: “Hey, there are a lot of abandoned signs out there.” Grieve said there is a lot of agreement that lowering sign height will be a good thing, and he’s hoping the county will follow the city’s lead in these matters. Feld says aesthetics are good for business, especially in thriving business districts where regula-

tions are the most stringent. “A wonderful example is the revitalization of downtown and Market Square. Signage is highly regulated there, but the economy in that area is thriving and has pulled new businesses and residents. And look at Turkey Creek – when they developed it, they removed six to eight billboards that were already there. They have no signs taller than six feet and they’re all monument signs, other than the primary directory signs on the interstate. It has been a resounding success.” City Council member George Wallace co-chairs the task force. He is a Realtor and advocates a more cautious approach. He says most of the comments he’s heard during public forums boil down to three things: “First, people are asking us to be reasonable and fair. Second,

Knoxville’s Sign Ordinance Task Force will hold its final meeting at 4 p.m. Wednesday, May 22 at the KCDC building, 901 N. Broadway, before handing the new ordinance over to the Metropolitan Planning Commission, where it must be approved on two readings before being returned to City Council for deliberation – and two more readings. Written comments will be accepted until Wednesday.

special consideration should be given to interstate interchanges – hotels, fast food. These are not in neighborhoods and it’s all about trying to drive traffic. Third, keep in mind that we’re still Knoxville. This is a community that has a certain style, a certain feel. Let’s don’t overstep our bounds.”

Graham Treasure, Megan Wall and Maya Barroso were honored at the Best of West awards. Treasure, a senior, was recognized as an outstanding AP Physics student. Wall, a junior, received awards in math, history and French. Barroso, a junior, was recognized for her performance in math and combined studies.

The Kennedy-Baker-Walker-Sherrill House was the site of this year’s Knox Heritage Fragile 15 announcement.

Setting a course for fantastic The Kennedy-BakerWalker-Sherrill House, located next to Academy Sports + Outdoors on Kingston Pike, provided an appropriate backdrop for Knox Heritage’s announcement of this year’s Fragile Fifteen list. After being a Knox Heritage project for eight years, the Federalstyle house is being converted to office space by Franklin Square developer Bill Hodges and his daughter, Catherine. “This is an example of how some properties can go from the Fragile 15 to the Fantastic 15,” said Knox Heritage executive director Kim Trent. According to Knox Heritage, the home was built by James and Jane Cox Kennedy in 1849. In 1858, Dr. William Baker bought the home from the Kennedys to be near his brother, Dr. Harvey Baker, who lived in what is now known as the Baker-Peters House. Dr. William Baker called the house Cedar Grove. The idyllic living arrangement didn’t last long. Local lore says that Dr.

Harvey Baker was killed in his home by Union troops in 1864, and his son, Abner, a Confederate veteran, was lynched the following year for shooting a man he thought was involved in his father’s death. Dr. William Baker died just two weeks after Abner’s death. Properties like the Kennedy-Baker-Walker-Sherrill House keep Knoxville’s rich history alive. West Knoxville properties on this year’s list include houses and a former grocery store in the Fort Sanders neighborhood, the Tennessee Supreme Court Building on Cumberland Avenue, the Martin-Russell House in Farragut, and several UT properties, including the Eugenia Williams House on Lyons View Pike. Thank you, Bill Hodges and Catherine Hodges, for

complishments, West High principal Katherine Banner said each award represented one thing: hard work. Congratulations, Best of West honorees! ■ saving a slice of West Knox history. We hope that others follow suit. ■

government Briggs and Mannis and more Knox County Commissioner Richard Briggs, a medical doctor, will have a fundraiser Thursday, May 23, at the Sequoyah Hills home of two other doctors, Penny Lynch and Kimbro Maguire. Briggs is challenging state Sen. Stacey Campfield, and the Republican primary is still a year away in August 2014. It promises to be a high profile race. State Rep. Steve Hall will be active for Campfield. ■ The resignation of Eddie Mannis as deputy mayor to Mayor Rogero after only 18 months has raised many eyebrows as to why his tenure was so brief. Some have speculated that Mannis, owner of Prestige Cleaners, did not adjust well to the slower pace of decision-making at city hall with lengthy consultations and committees slowing down decisions as opposed to quick action at his successful business. Others speculated that Prestige Cleaners needed Mannis back full-time. Whatever the real reasons may be, Mannis’s tenure was so short that his time may not be remembered for long. Additionally, Mannis may have experienced enough of governmental ways to abandon running for mayor in 2019 when Rogero is term-limited from seeking a third term. However, there will be no lack of mayoral contenders then, including at least two current members of city council. Mannis’s former home on Kingston Pike has now sold and he lives downtown. Many people did not feel Mannis was entirely happy with the pace of city government. ■ Christy Branscom, who is moving into Mannis’ office in a few weeks, is only $400 short of what Mannis makes in salary. Mannis is at $146,944 while Branscom is at $146,508. She will get the 2.5 percent pay raise on July 1, but city spokesperson Jesse Mayshark did not know if her salary will also bump to the Mannis level as well. The 2.5 percent will give her another $3,650 a year which will move her past $150,000. Mayor Rogero is set at $130,000 and cannot be changed except by council passing a separate ordi-

Victor Ashe

nance which would take effect when the mayor elected in 2015 takes office that December. At least five city employees now make more than Rogero, and the county mayor makes more than the city mayor. Don’t be surprised if Rogero leaves Branscom’s current job vacant and saves the city $154,000. With Branscom now deputy mayor, her soon-to-beformer position becomes much less important to be filled. ■ Pam Reeves appears to be on a glide path to a lifetime federal judgeship following Judge Tom Phillips who is resigning this summer. Both Sens. Alexander and Corker seem comfortable with her, and the state Democratic establishment led by U.S. Rep. Jim Cooper is for her. The White House has done extensive vetting before announcing the replacement so it can go to the U.S. Senate, where confirmations for federal district judges in the best of circumstances take at least 100 days from the day the paperwork goes to the Senate Judiciary Committee to a vote on the Senate floor. If that timetable holds, Reeves could be confirmed by early November. However, there are nominees for district judgeships in Georgia and Arizona where the wait has exceeded 500 days, according to the Wall Street Journal. That is not expected to be the case here. Reeves will likely be unable to hear any cases involving the city of Knoxville as her husband, Charles Swanson, is the city law director who would represent the city. The other federal judge, Thomas Varlan, who would be assigned many of those cases, is a former Knoxville city law director. Reeves will be the first woman to serve as a federal judge in the eastern district and is also highly popular and respected in the area.

McIntyre touts schools budget By Sandra Clark Dr. Jim McIntyre got so folksy that he actually said “y’all” when speaking about his budget goals last week in Powell. Everyone seemed happy. That’s a long way from last year when folks battled over McIntyre’s request for $35 million in new dollars which would have required a tax increase. McIntyre has not abandoned his goals, but he has become more realistic about the political climate of Knox County. This year’s budget calls for a increase of $13.39 million, which Mayor Tim Burchett says can be funded within available tax revenues. Big ticket items are: ■ $2.5 million for raises for non-certified school staff ■ $7.59 million for teacher pay increases (a blend of merit pay and 2.5 percent

Powell Business and Professional Association president Kelley Jarnigan talks with Commissioner R. Larry Smith and Superintendent Jim McIntyre following Tuesday’s meeting. Photo by S. Clark across-the-boards) ■ 1.72 million for enhanced school security (including the addition of 58 armed security guards, putting at least one in every school)

McIntyre said the budget allows Knox County Schools to sustain the gains made last year, including the reading initiative in grades 1-3 funded by $3 million of Burchett-found money.

KCS retains the instructional coaches put in place to help teachers and the community schools that joined Pond Gap at Norwood, Lonsdale and Green Magnet Academy. Knox County teacher pay ranks 35th in the state, he said, and that’s not good enough. Technology gains are included. McIntyre spoke of the 11 schools that were selected from the 28 that competed for 1:1 technology. That means extensive computer labs in elementary schools and a personal tablet or iPad in the hands of each middle and high school student. “We can put this technology in place (at 11 schools) and demonstrate success,” he said. “Technology will not replace teachers, but it will help them differentiate education for individual students.”

Sheriff’s Office online with dangerous dogs By Sandra Clark The Knox County Sheriff’s Office gets “a couple of calls a week” about serious dog bites, says Captain Bobby Hubbs. “And the trend is growing.” Hubbs and Animal Control officer Frankie Byrne spoke Friday to the Norwood Kiwanis Club at Puleo’s Grille on Merchants Drive. Byrne said 5,477 animal control calls came in during 2010. Examples include a young boy bitten by a neighbor’s dog, requiring five stitches to his hand. A woman required 50 stitches to her mouth after being attacked by her friend’s dog. Also common are animal-on-animal attacks. Animal Control includes livestock care, animal cruelty and neglect, owner education and rabies control. Byrne noticed an injured bird outside the restaurant before the meeting. “She picked it up and put it in her

bors who may not have otherwise known that an aggressive dog lived nearby,” said Hubbs. Knox County ordinance Sec. 6-32 requires that all pets stay on their property at all times, unless being walked on a leash. Ordinance Sec. 6-72 cover the dangerous dog classifications. TCA 44-8-408 includes penalties for dogs that run at large; and TCA 44-17-120 deals with “destruction of Corporal Frankie Byrne, Norwood Kiwanis Club vice president dog causing death or serious injury to human.” Jan Phillips, and Captain Bobby Hubbs Photo by S.

What’s in a name? MALCOLM’S CORNER | Malcolm Shell I have always been fascinated by street names and their origin. For the most part, developers often name streets after their families or after street names they have seen in other areas. Some use the name of the former owner if it has historical significance (i.e. Smithfield subdivision). One upscale builder told me his favorite TV program was “Murder She Wrote.” The fictional setting was Cabot Cove. He said he liked the name so much he named his development Cabot Ridge. Well, we might say that’s one mystery solved.

But the real mystery was a street in my subdivision. All the streets in our neighborhood are named after famous golf courses. But one street, Crippled Mule Point, has no relation to the others. That aroused my curiosity. The answer was found in an unpublished manuscript written by the late Fox Den members Bob Fraim and Tom Foree, our first golf professional. It seems that when the developer, Chester Massey, was acquiring the property from 11 different owners, he thought he had enough land to build the course. But the

golf course architect, Willard Byrd, discovered at the last moment that additional land was needed to complete the 12th hole. The property was owned by Spencer Smith, the former owner of the Smithfield subdivision property. Massey had purchased property from Smith before and didn’t foresee any problem in purchasing the additional property. He approached Smith in an unassuming way, but quickly found it wasn’t going to be easy. Smith was adamant about not selling any additional land and ended the conversation quite

abruptly. Massey recalls that he went down to what is now the 1st fairway and shot some quail. He dressed and took them to Smith, who thanked him but said he still was not going to sell. At that point, Massey told the architect to make the 12th hole a par 3. Massey had started publishing a Fox Den newsletter and was always looking for possible items for the publication. That led him to once again visit Spencer in hopes of finding a possible story that might be of interest to the new residents. Mrs. Smith answered the door and told him that Spencer was sick but that he could visit with him a few minutes. When he entered the bedroom, he assured Smith that he had not come to talk about purchasing any additional property. He told him that he simply was trying to find some good material to include in his newsletter. At that point, Smith rose up from his bed, threw his feet over the edge and sat up as

Mrs. Smith started to spin a tale that fascinated Massey. She said that when the Civil War was nearing an end, stragglers from both North and South would often pass by the property and ask to be fed. On one particular morning, three Confederate soldiers knocked on the door and asked if she could serve them breakfast. She did so and they sat down on the front porch to eat. While they were eating, seven or eight Union soldiers rode by and spotted the three Confederates. A gun battle ensued and Mrs. Smith grabbed what she could carry and ran out the back door. She eventually made her way through the woods to Campbell’s Station, where she spent the night with friends. The next day she returned home to find the three Confederate soldiers lying dead in the front yard. The house had also been looted. She immediately ran to the spring house to see if they had found her perishable

items. She discovered that all the milk and fresh meat were gone and the only thing left was an old crippled mule. Massey asked the Smiths if he could publish that story in his newsletter, and Spencer said, “Would you really publish that?” Massey assured him that he would and at that point Spencer said: “Son, if you will publish that, I’ll just give you the property.” At that point, Massey assured Smith that the road leading down to the spring would always be called Crippled Mule Point. Massey published the story in his newsletter. It was picked up by legendary former Knoxville News Sentinel sports editor Tom Siler. And that story was picked up by the wire services. So today the 12th hole is a beautiful par 4, just as it was intended to be, and the street that runs parallel to the hole on the east side is called Crippled Mule Point, just as Massey had promised.

The Beebes are back By Cindy Taylor Last June, a family of seven sold their belongings to spend at least two years as missionaries in Ghana. They are back for a sixweek furlough to tell their story at various churches and other ministries. Reid and Robin Beebe and their five boys moved to Ghana with the intention of sharing the gospel while ministering to the needs of the Ghanaian people. “The whole reason we have come home at this time is to witness Mathiang graduate from college,” said Robin. “When I met this young man is when my world grew. This is when I began to understand that the world I was living in wasn’t the world many others were living in.” Mathiang Gutnyin was one of the 3,800 Lost Boys of Sudan who were given refuge in the U.S. in 2001 after the second Sudanese Civil War displaced and orphaned them. In Sudan he had one pencil and one composition book for an entire year of school. While in a refugee camp he survived on one cup of sugar, five kilos of corn and a cup of oil every two weeks for 13 years. Mathiang became a son in the hearts of the Beebes in 2001. He was the family’s introduction to Africa and the beginning of a ministry that is now winding its way across more than one country. A year of living in Ghana has brought positive change to the lives of many of the people the Beebes have encountered, includ-

ing food and clean water. But the Beebes say they have been changed as well. “The Christians in Ghana are so active and alive in their worship,” said Reid. “So much of how we lived life here in the U.S. seems trivial now. People in Ghana are trusting God and there is nothing else to fall back on.” Many churches across Knoxville have members who are actively supporting the Beebes. One person had little to give but felt compelled to help. He recently passed

away but his wife continued to support the ministry. The Beebes will be speaking at many of those churches as well as at Water Angels Ministry before heading back for a second year in Ghana. “Many people get the impression that our family is special because of where we live,” said Reid. “We are just people doing what God has called us to do.” For more info or to support the Beebes and their ministry in Ghana, visit their blog beebebits.blogspot.com.

Celebration of life: Stokely Center Stokely Center is going, going … Nobody asked me to do the official eulogy. Considering the shortage of institutional memory, perhaps nobody realized I was there more than anybody not on the university payroll. I didn’t see it all but I was at courtside, in the offices and dressing room almost every day during the Ray Mears era and some before and after – a thousand practices, hundreds of games, a parade of special players, friends and foes, many who truly earned their historical niche. When the building was the UT Armory Fieldhouse and the godfathers wanted to name it for Robert R. Neyland, the General politely said thanks but no thanks. Being an engineer, he did not approve of the design or maybe he knew there would be a better offer. I recall the first game, 7271 over Wyoming, Dec. 2, 1958. I also remember 1962 and the last game of coach

John Sines’ 4-19 season. Attorney G. Edwin Friar was the only person seated in the big bleacher section behind the south goal. Attendance was 515. I suggested listing fans as survivors in the newspaper story. Sports editor Tom Siler vetoed that bright idea. Mears made a magical difference. He raised the bar, in winning and entertainment. Tennessee basketball was forever changed. William B. Stokely’s gift of $500,000 inspired arena expansion and provided the name. So many memories, so many smiles … A photo of Kentucky coach Adolph Rupp was once the dart board in Mears’ private dressing room.

There was a little wooden stepstool so associate coach Stu Aberdeen could see in the mirror to shave. Orange chairs were in perfect lines in the players’ meeting room. The captain had a white chair. Everything was in its appointed place in Big Orange Country. A.W. Davis was the Rutledge Rifle. Howard Bayne was chairman of the boards. Danny Schultz was the great shooter before Jimmy England. Bill Justus was the classic competitor. Ron Widby refused to lose. He once put 50 on LSU. Rodney Woods was a coach on the floor. Mike Edwards could hit from outer spaces. Memories … Tom Boerwinkle was a sensational success story, in part because of Stu’s coaching broom. How about the Volunteer Classic when Temple held the ball and Tennessee won, 11-6? The Orange Tie Club was faithful even in foul weather. Ernie Grunfeld and

Strong enough to bend The descendants of those who oppressed you Shall come bending low to you, and all who despised you shall bow down at your feet; they shall call you the City of the Lord, the Zion of the Holy One of Israel. (Isaiah 60: 14 NRSV) There’s a tree out in the backyard, That never has been broken by the wind. And the reason it’s still standin’ It was strong enough to bend. (recorded by Tanya Tucker, 1988) Sometimes the truth comes at me from the most unexpected places. I have to admit that country music is not my native tongue, but occasionally I am struck by the wisdom im-

parted through its homespun words. I remember when I spent a few days in the hospital while I was in college, and my roommate loved to cry along with her country tunes. I thought

that she was torturing herself, but in actuality, it seemed to make her feel better. In fact, I am irreverent enough about country music to laugh at the old joke: What happens if you play a country song backwards? The guy gets his wife back, his car back and his house back! On a recent dark and rainy night, I heard Tanya Tuck-

Bernard King made the mid-1970s spectacular. Aberdeen did it, luring the allAmericans from New York City. Tenacity? Yes. Cheat? I don’t think so. Unforgettable was the night David Moss marched out as best he could, on his artificial leg, to say goodbye – March 8, 1977. He died three years later. Good times … Globetrotter warm-ups, “Sweet Georgia Brown,” John Pascual wrestling the bear, Roger Peltz juggling three balls while riding a unicycle, happy evenings heckling coaches Dale Brown and Joe B. Hall. “Sit down, Joe, sit down.” Kentucky defeated the Vols five times at Stokely. Tennessee wins included the one over Rupp’s Runts that spoiled a 23-0 season and a 76-57 romp in the championship race of ’67 and the terrific 103-98 victory in ’75 when nobody mentioned that Mears preferred a deliberate pace.

er’s song “Strong Enough to Bend,” and began to consider the wisdom in country music. I also began to think about what strength looks like. We all know that there are people in this world who are stubborn. I am one of them. A friend said to me recently, “Maybe determined would be a better description of you.” I appreciated her effort to be kind, and I would like to think she is right, but I am not at all sure. When I was a child, we had a Lombardy poplar in the back yard. It was tall and slender and pliable, and in a fierce wind, it would bow nearly to the ground, but it would not break. I also have seen large, sturdy oaks felled by the wind, because they could not bend.

Once upon a time, Tennessee defeated Chattanooga and ETSU in the same evening. Gary Carter picked off an inbounds pass and prevented a humbling loss to American U. Tony White scored 51 on Valentine’s Day 1987. Dale Ellis hit some very long jumpers. Remember the experimental game with 12-feet goals? Don DeVoe made his mark in Stokely. Pat Summitt won more games. Her teams took many giant steps toward national championships. Elvis and others appeared in Stokely concerts. John Tate lost the biggest fight of his boxing life. Louisville defeated Kentucky in a tournament matchup they called the dream game. Pistol Pete Maravich endured frustration in the persona of guard Billy Hann. Charles Barkley, round mound of rebounds, got a pizza delivery he didn’t expect. Bobby Knight waved his arm too frantically and lost his watch. Only the building is going. Memories remain. Marvin West invites reader reaction. His address is westwest6@netzero.com.

So what can we learn from trees and country music? That it is important to be strong enough to bend. But there is more. My favorite movie of all time is “A Man for All Seasons,” the story of Sir Thomas More, who was willing to go to his death rather than compromise his principles. He knew who he was, and where he began and ended, and how far he could bend. He was beheaded by the decree of King Henry VIII on a charge of treason because he would not condone the divorce and remarriage of the king. It is important to be strong enough to bend. It is equally important to be strong enough to refuse to bend when circumstances call for standing tall.

News from SOS While still in a pilot phase, Knox County has moved aggressively from the founding of the first community school at Pond Gap Elementary to the launch of three more community schools last fall. More will open this fall. Government officials, business leaders, and social service agencies are publicly on board with the community school concept which, broadly defined, is the gradual conversion of traditional schools to multiple-use community centers that support children, families and neighborhoods. Community engagement is critical to their success. Taxpayers who have invested in school construction could have access to school buildings as meeting places and benefit from expanded services and training opportunities. City Mayor Madeline Rogero in a recent television interview said, “We do community development and we tend to focus on the bricks and mortar, the affordable housing, energy efficiency and such. In reality, community development is also about strengthening the social fabric, the socioeconomic issues related to families and the children.” Rogero has included $100,000 in the proposed city budget for community schools. A new five-year school plan is being written and community schools are expected to be a major component.

Bearden UMC boosts Family Promise By Wendy Smith Anne Umbach, director of family support services at Family Promise of Knoxville, likes to quote a former board member to those who are considering working with the nonprofit organization. Tere McDonough says that volunteering is like eating Lay’s potato chips. After you overcome your fear to do it once, you’ll want to do it over and over. Bearden United Methodist Church ate that first potato chip years ago. Umbach spoke at the congregation’s Wednesday Night Live program last week to report on the organization’s accomplishments to date and plans for expansion. Family Promise of Knoxville offers shelter,

food and support services to homeless families. The organization relies upon host sites, primarily churches, to feed and house up to four homeless families for a week at a time, four times a year. Bearden United Methodist has participated in the program since Pastor Mike Sluder joined the staff almost seven years ago. During each week that the church serves as a host site, Family Promise delivers cots and linens, and members convert a Sunday School hallway into a temporary home for families. Each morning, volunteers provide breakfast for the families before the guests leave for work, school or the Family Promise day center, located on North-

shore Drive. The families return to the church each day at 5 p.m. and the church provides dinner. Like many churches, Bearden United Methodist participates in overseas missions, but working with Family Promise allows them to help the community, too. “It’s a blessing,� Sluder says. Umbach expressed appreciation to the congregation, and said Family Promise guests, especially the children, enjoy the playground and the gym. The organization provides shelter for approximately 20 families each year, but demand continues to rise, she says. The goal is to expand the program to serve eight fami-

lies at a time. To do that, Family Promise will need a new day center, so there will be more storage space and room for family members who don’t work or go to school during the day. The organization is actively raising money and looking for property. Once a new day center is located, Family Promise will need 10 more community organizations to host four families for a week, four times a year. Info: www.familypromise knoxville.org. Note: This is the final week of Wednesday Night Live at Bearden United Methodist Church, 4407 Sutherland Avenue. A 5:45 p.m. meal will be followed by a handbell concert featuring Disney tunes.

Digging a little deeper Paideia students learn with community involvement At the gardens, Paideia teachers and students cleared out a field to prepare it for planting. They weeded the planting ground and sifted through compost piles to collect worms. “We want to educate our students in how to serve in this capacity,� said Baker. “Planting food is a strong element of community service. The Knoxville botanical garden donates its produce to KARM, a local food bank that feeds the hungry in our city.�

By Ashley Baker Every month, 30 students at Paideia Academy put down their books, leave their classroom and step outside to serve the Knoxville community. Paideia Academy is a private Christian school located on Yarnell Road. The school’s mission is to offer students “a classical curriculum, a Christ-centered worldview and a university schedule.� Open since the fall of 2004, Paideia Academy now has 134 students enrolled in kindergarten through 1oth grade. Headmaster at Paideia is James Cowart. Service to the community is a big part of the school’s mission. “We do service projects because we want to be a visible presence in the community, and we want to show Christ’s love to our neighbors,� said Mark Baker, dean of Apostles’ Hall and teaching fellow in humanities. “At Paideia, we treasure the gospel that Christ laid down His life for us, so we, in turn, want to lay down our lives for others.� The upper school at Paideia is known as the School of Rhetoric and is comprised of grades seven and above, explained Baker. Within the School of Rhetoric are two halls: Apostles’ Hall and Nicene Hall. Each hall goes off campus once a month for service opportunities. Service projects this year have included local elementary schools, children’s sports ministries, area food banks and working on farms. In April, Apostles’ Hall students

Anne Umbach of Family Promise of Knoxville speaks at Bearden United Methodist Church. The congregation is one of 16 local churches that host homeless families for a week at a time, four times a year. Photo submitted Wendy Prothro Howard, botanical garden program coordinator, said there is always excitement when students come to help out. “My favorite part of working with children in the garden is being able to enjoy their excitement about learning, gardening and being one with nature.� The garden is staffed by the University of Tennessee Human Dimensions Research Lab and funded under a grant from the State of Tennessee Department of Health Project Diabetes. The Paideia students worked in the ECO Garden. “The goal of the ECO Garden is to share the many benefits of gardening with children in order for them to make informed choices about

eating and physical activities,� said Howard. Learning both the joy of service and the benefit of gardening, Paideia students enjoyed two and a half hours in their outdoor classroom. “My friend and I couldn’t stop smiling as we hacked at one immense weed,� said sixth grade student Sarah Badgett. “By the time we had to go, the whole group had transformed a considerable amount of weeds and other hazardous materials into a clean, convenient area.� As Paideia students loaded up to leave, the garden was ready for planting. The field had been completely cleared. “It was really fun, spiritually and physically,� said sixthgrader Allie Seaman.

Need Help? The Knoxville Botanical Garden and Arboretum gets some loving attention from Paideia Academy students Daryl Driscoll, Graceann Meystrik and Leah Seiple as part of a school service project. Photo by Mark Baker offered their services to the Knoxville Botanical Garden and Arboretum. “Serving at the Knoxville botanical gardens was a good experience,� said eighth grade student Samuel Sadler. The upper school students were joined for this project by the sixth-graders. “It was nice to get our hands dirty and help out,� said Kelby Cox, sixth grade.

Shangri-La accepting volunteers

SHEEP tours Sequoyah Elementary

If you know someone age 10 or older who would like something fun to do this summer, they may want to volunteer at the Shangri-La Therapeutic Academy of Riding in Lenoir City.

The facility is located just over the Loudon County line from Farragut on Highway 11. Since 1987, STAR has been the “go to” place for everyone from four-year-olds to senior citizens to receive therapeutic horseback riding lessons. The lessons help with everything from physical and mental disabilities to neurological problems. Depending on the age of the volunteer, he or she will spend about 1 1/2 hours a week for eight weeks preparing tack and supplies for sessions, assisting the rider with

their horse or even guiding the horse during a session with a rider. Volunteers under the age of 13 are not directly involved with the horses. “Our riders receive therapeutic benefits in a fun atmosphere,” said STAR’s volunteer coordinator Melissa Suadi. “It is not a sterile atmosphere like a doctor’s office, but they are still receiving the same benefits as regular therapy while building a relationship with their horse.” Both the volunteer and the rider benefit by working as a team throughout the session “so there is consistency,” said Suadi. Training for lesson volunteers (ages 13 and up) will be held 1:30-5:30 p.m. Saturday, June 1, and junior volunteer training (ages 10-12) will be held 5-7 p.m. Monday, June 3. No experience with horses is necessary to volunteer. Info: Melissa, 9884711 or www.rideatstar. org.

Shopper News Presents Miracle Makers

Knoxville Zoo fosters learning By Wendy Smith As the Knoxville Zoo’s outreach and outdoor science coordinator, Steve McGaffin has carted furry, scaly and feathery friends all over East Tennessee in the Zoomobile. But for the past two years, McGaffin has been attracting another sort of friend – the six-legged kind. Last year, the zoo was awarded a grant from Dow Chemical for the installation of pollination gardens at Green, West View, Beaumont and Dogwood elementary schools. This year, a grant from the East Tennessee Foundation funded a fifth garden at Sarah Moore Greene Elementary School. The Pollinator Garden Project allows students to see an entire ecosystem within a 250-square-foot area, McGaffin says. Native flowering plants, like bee balm, blackeyed susans and purple coneflowers attract herbivores, omnivores and parasites, and birds come to feast on the crawling and buzzing insects. All of those critters do valuable work. The bees, flies and beetles will help pollinate Sarah Moore Greene Elementary’s Jeffersonian Gardens, three raised beds that were recently planted with peas, Thomas Jefferson’s favorite food. Assistant principal Tanna Nicely, who planted raised beds at Dogwood Elementary before coming to Sarah Moore Greene last year, spearheaded the project. The heirloom garden is one of the reasons five Sarah Moore Greene students were chosen to travel to Washington, D.C., in April to help plant Michelle Obama’s kitchen garden. The students will return to the White House at the end of May. The pollinator garden will also provide opportunities for students to become citizen scientists. For example, students might collect data on the lifecycle of butterfly weed, says McGaffin. After documenting when the plant emerges, forms leaves, flowers, produces seeds and dries up, students can submit the information to the National Phrenology Network, which will use the data to study climate change. “By studying these changes, students understand what’s happening with the climate.” An additional benefit of studying a garden is simply being outside. Studies have shown that getting kids outdoors helps them focus better in the classroom, he says. Plus, it’s good, messy fun. Last spring, after they had been kept indoors for several days due to a

downtown mulch fire, students were in the process of planting flowers in a pollinator garden when the teacher announced it was time for recess. About half of them elected to keep working in the garden, McGaffin says. “They don’t consider this work,” laughs Nicely. Education is what the Knoxville Zoo is all about, says the zoo’s public relations director, Tina Rolen. “It’s disguised as fun, but the goal is to help students connect with the animals so they will help with conservation and understand their part in saving some of these creatures.” One of the biggest ways the zoo helps students is through the Zoofund for Kids. The fund allows students to visit the zoo for half-price on field trips, and Title I-eligible students visit for free. In 2012, the Knoxville Zoo offered reduced or free admission to more

NEWS FROM LOY JOHNSON REAL ESTATE

Brookstone Ridge offers homes, building lots near Norris Lake The lack of demand for new homes during the past five years has been a serious deterrent to new home starts and new subdivisions. While homebuyers are now entering the marketplace to take advantage of low interest rates, they are discovering a limited choice of new homes and building lots. One new home community, Brookstone Ridge, has more than 30 building sites, all with water, sewer and underground electric, ready for construction. Located on Norris Freeway, just south of Mountain Road and only a short drive north of Halls, this

neighborhood is within minutes of Norris Lake and the 2,300acre Norris Watershed, with its hiking and biking trails. Homes here are close to shopping ar-

eas in Norris, Clinton and Halls and just a short 30-minute drive to downtown Knoxville via I-75. For anyone working in Oak Ridge, the commute is rela-

tively easy and uncongested. Lynn Leach, owner of Double L Construction, LLC, and one of the developers of Brookstone, says that he has seen an increase in buyer interest in Brookstone’s lots and homes. He notes that a number of new prospects are being referred by current residents who express satisfaction with the family atmosphere and peace and quiet of the neighborhood. “Since there is only one access in and out of the subdivision, our owners see Brookstone as a very safe, secure community,” said Leach.

With more than 70 homes already occupied, Brookstone, with its well-maintained lawns and professionally-landscaped entrance, looks like a stable and growing community. Loy Johnson of Loy Johnson Real Estate, the sales and marketing firm for Brookstone, noted that the prices for new homes will range from the mid-$150’s to just a little above $200,000. Building lots are also available.

Sharing the love of the game By Wendy Smith

Drum and dance camp Kuumba Watoto Urban Youth Institute will host its 4-week drum and dance camp for kids ages 5-18 from 8 a.m.-3 p.m. Tuesday, May 28, through Tuesday, June 18, at Vine Middle School, 1807 Martin Luther King Ave. The entrance is on Bertrand Street.

Sign-ups and parent appreciation day will be held 2-5 p.m. Sunday, May 26, in front of Austin-East Magnet High School on Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue. A showcase will be held at the end of camp so the students can show what they learned. To participate, visit www.kuumbafestival.com for an application, or call 217-6786.

Megan Quigley smacked the ball and scored a run at the Knoxville Challenger League game against the UT baseball team, but she wasn’t interested in talking to a reporter about it. The Episcopal School of Knoxville 4th-grader was too busy watching the game with her buddy, UT player Will Maddox. Megan is no stranger to the UT players. She attends Tennessee baseball camps throughout the year. But for many of her teammates, the opportunity to play at Lindsey Nelson Stadium is as exciting as Christmas. The Challenger League was founded by Little League of America as a way to allow kids with special needs to experience baseball. Knoxville Challenger sports also offers basketball, bowling, golf and swimming to kids with physical and mental disabilities, says board member Nic Arning. Baseball games are set up so kids of all abilities can participate. Each athlete makes it to first base, then eventually scores a run. Coaches don’t keep score, but if they did, every game would end in a tie, Arning says. Volunteers provide whatever assistance players need. “Nothing stops a child who wants to play from get-

The teams played last year, and Serrano plans for it to be an annual event. He was involved with the Challenger League when he coached at University of California Irvine and Cal State Fullerton, and he thinks the experience is valuable for both teams. He tells his players to

watch how the kids react to being on the field, and the college players get caught up in the excitement. “It’s one of the best days of their lives,” he says. Arning would like to see more kids participate in Knoxville Challenger sports.

The new location of their shop offers fashion and food in one store. Their popular boutique, which operated for many years as The Silk Purse on Chambliss Avenue and then on Carr Street, is now called The Silk Purse Studio, and occupies one side of Wendi Prescott’s Tea at the Gallery space in Western Plaza.

The Gardners know everyone is looking for a good deal these days, and over the years they have learned just where to go on their buying trips to New York to get the best ones. To keep the excitement level up, they send out a couple of email newsletters every time they make that trip. The first edition is always titled “To market, to market,� and highlights what they are seeing around the city, including

The second, “Home again, home again,â€? is filled with pictures of their purchases and often details the astounding difference between what shoppers pay for the merchandise in New York City and what the Studio is charging for the same items. A recent edition showcased a dressy jacket which sells in the big city for $595 and at the Silk Purse Studio for $119. Most of their merchandise has the MSRP (manufacturer’s suggested retail price) tags along with the Studio price tag so local shoppers will know exactly how much they are saving. In addition to affordable clothing for every imaginable occasion – casual to the most formal – there is also jewelry, scarves, handbags and the newest addition: shoes.

Ever wonder what happened to Little Brown Dog? You remember her from news accounts a few years ago. She was the adorable little puppy whose story of being intentionally dragged behind a moving vehicle until she was almost dead broke our hearts. The magicians at UT Veterinary Hospital who pose as doctors managed to save her and a great outpouring of love and support from the public paid most of her medical bills, and then ‌ she got a job. It’s true. All healed now, the beloved Little Brown Dog found a way to “pay it forwardâ€? by becoming a HABIT volunteer. HABIT stands for Human Animal Bond In Tennessee, and Karen Armsey, program administrator of HABIT at the UT College of Veterinary Medicine, told West Knox Rotary members all about it at a recent meeting. She said HABIT is a nonprofit organization which uses medically and behaviorally approved animals who are more than a year old in animal assisted therapy and animal assisted activities.

Karen Armsey The dogs (and even some cats and rabbits) and their owners visit hospitals, nursing homes, adult day care programs, shelter workshops for the mentally disabled, rehabilitation centers, hospice centers and elementary and middle school classrooms, including those for special education students. Armsey said two of the most popular places to visit are Children’s Hospital and the Ben Atchley Veterans’ Home. The program’s 350 volunteer teams in 14 counties made more than 200,000 contacts last year, but more volunteers and their special animals are always needed.

NEWS FROM LITTLEFISH LAND AND HOME

LittleFish offers innovative approach to real estate By Shana Raley-Lusk Anyone who has ever tried to sell a home knows how difficult and confusing real estate transactions can be, especially given the current market conditions. Add to that the pressure of trying not to lose the equity that you have built up over the years, and it can be a recipe for a stressful situation. Fortunately, one local company’s business model has answers to all of the real estate concerns that sellers face. LittleFish offers listing packages that are based on how long the seller wants to list the property rather than a commission based on the value. This way, the seller cuts out a large part of the overhead that is normally involved in selling a property through a traditional agency. “Because of the savings, the seller will either have more room to negotiate or will pocket more money on the sale,” says Rob Mynatt, principal broker at LittleFish Land and Home.

tions and writing the contract if needed. “Our listing packages start at $42 per month for the subscription-based package, or can be paid up front,” says Rob. “The seller gets the same MLS listing as they would with any other agency in Knoxville, but they also get an additional fifty plus real estate specific websites.” A relatively young company, LittleFish is growing, and it is due in large part to its loyal client base. “To date, I have not had anyone come away disappointed,” says Rob. “Until now, we have been largely a ‘grassroots’ and word of mouth agency because of satisfied people.” Rob advises potential sellers to take a Rob Mynatt, principal broker at LittleFish comprehensive look at the process before making any big decisions where selling is Land and Home. Photo by Shana Raley-Lusk concerned. When working with LittleFish, sellers “Try to imagine it after the home is schedule their own showings, but can still sold and you have moved on,” he sugrely on professionals to help with negotia- gests. “Consider all costs involved and

the time you are willing to spend on it. Getting all of the value from your home is a one shot deal. After it is over, there is no going back to get more.” LittleFish has something to offer every seller and provides a high quality service at a low cost. With plans to open in Memphis this summer and Nashville early next year, the agency has hopes of eventually expanding into other states. LittleFish will soon be hiring buyer’s agents for the Knoxville area as well. “Broken down to its simplest form, we save money,” Rob says. “The equity built up in a home comes with years of hard work and sacrifice. Consider where it goes before you decide to sell.”

Stroll down Juanita Cannon Street By Alvin Nance

Salsarita’s newest store Rosa Mar and Chris Kahn were among the enthusiastic and well-fed guests attending a special pre-opening event last week at the new Salsarita’s restaurant, now open at the corner of Kingston Pike and Moss Creek Drive in Sherrill Hills. Jim Olenski, general manager of the facility, and owner H. P. Patel stopped to visit with the two. Photo by A. Hart

In August, one of our longest-serving KCDC commissioners stepped down from the board. I am very grateful for Juanita C a n non’s Nance service to KCDC. Her tenure on the board saw many positive changes for this city. Today (May 20), she is being honored by the city of Knoxville for her service. “Juanita Cannon Street,” a street in the soon-to-be revitalized Five Points neighborhood, will be unveiled at a ceremony in Paul Hogue Park. Knoxville Mayor Madeline Rogero and other city officials will present Cannon with a ceremonial street sign, and she is welcome to visit the real

sign posted in the Five Points neighborhood at any time. The street runs behind Paul Hogue Park and connects Wilson and Selma avenues. During her 18-year tenure on the KCDC board, Cannon helped bring about many changes in Knoxville public housing and saw many neighborhoods restored. Five Points has been a focus of both KCDC and the city for the past several years. Cannon and her colleagues on the KCDC board approved plans for a new senior housing complex, the Residences at Eastport, and recently, for family-style duplex housing to replace blighted properties. More than 180 old units in Walter P. Taylor Homes were demolished during this time to decrease the density of the neighborhood. Today, with the help of dedicated volunteers like Cannon, Five Points is a different place than it was five years ago; and

in 10 years, we hope to see it reinvigorated in the same way as Mechanicsville. During her years on the board, Cannon also oversaw the successful HOPE VI project, which restored the Mechanicsville neighborhood that has been set up as a model project for the Department of Housing and Urban Development across the region. Cannon has a passion for improving public housing because of her personal experience. She grew up in Austin Homes, which she characterized as a close-knit community. In addition to her work at KCDC, Cannon was a Knox County school teacher for 40 years. We at KCDC have come to see her in the same way as her former students – as a guiding force, a mentor and leader. We’re proud to dedicate this street today in honor of Juanita Cannon’s excellent service to this community.

NEWS FROM CHRISTIAN ACADEMY OF KNOXVILLE

‘And your little dog, too!’ ‘Toto’ performs in Knoxville after Broadway career

In CAK’s recent “Wizard of Oz” production, the role of Toto was played by a dog named Princess, who performed in the national tour of “The Wizard of Oz” in 2008. Princess is a rescue dog of Bill Berloni, professional animal handler for Broadway, off-Broadway, national tours, regional theaters, special events, the New York City Ballet, motion pictures, television and commercials. When animals’ careers are over, the animals usually return to Bill’s Connecticut farm, but this was not the case for Princess.

Save the date The 26th Annual Warrior Shootout is Friday Oct. 4, at Avalon Golf and Country Club. Opportunities for participants, volunteers and sponsors are available now. Visit www. cakwarriors.com/golf for more information. New this year, CAK will host the first-ever Tennis Tournament in conjunction with the Warrior Shootout. Details to follow!

CAK students Clay McCammon, Cassidy Belk, Aaron Waldrupe, Michael Jarvis and Bennett Miller portray the Scarecrow, Dorothy, the Wizard of Oz, the Tinman and the Cowardly Lion respectively. Belk holds Toto, played by Princess, a dog with a long professional performance history.

When Princess was ready to retire at the end of 2009, Diana Warner was asked if she would like to consider applying to be Princess’s mother due to the fact that their special bond had become more than obvious. Since Princess needs to be the only dog in the home, the loving staff of Bill Berloni wanted to make sure Princess had a special home with a family that could take her everywhere and diligently administer her medicine three times a day; medicine that keeps her from having dramatic hallucinations caused by a slow-growing brain tumor.

Calling all alumni!

Since June of 2009, Princess and Diana have traveled everywhere together. Princess happily lives full time in her home in the heart of New York City, and makes the extremely long daily commute to work with her mom at the Diana Warner flagship store, a mere four doors down.

CAK alumni, we want to reconnect with you! Please visit www.cakwarriors.com/ alumniupdate to let us know what you’ve been up to.

The High School Musical Theater Department presented “The Wizard of Oz” on the CAK Stage April 25-27. The performance marked the 24th musical production directed by CAK’s Musical Director Peggy Filyaw, who is also the director of the Middle School Singers, High School Concert Choir and High School Spirit of Praise Ensemble.

CAK’s newest 2nd grader By Sarah Warren, elementary school teacher At the end of the 2011-12 school year, David McFalls, CAK elementary school principal, asked me, “How are you fulfilling the mission and vision of CAK?” I began to wrestle with this question. I felt like what I was doing as an educator was more focused on the “what” and “why,” not the “how.” I began to question. God calls us to help people, witness, love others, not be judgmental. So, what would that look like at CAK? How do I teach students to be content with what God has provided? How do I teach them to just “be” where God has called them? How do I teach them to rely on God? How do I teach them not to worry? Frederick Buechner said, “The place where God calls you is the place where your deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger meet.” I know that God has called me here to CAK, so

how do my deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger meet? For me, the answer is HABIT. HABIT (Human Animal Bonds in Tennessee) is a community group of volunteers working together to explore the circumstances and consequences of the human-animal bonds. HABIT is comprised of representatives from the UT College of Veterinary Medicine, volunteers from the community and private veterinary practitioners. I started thinking of students at CAK who have struggled spiritually, emotionally, socially and academically. I thought of students who have a love of animals, as I do. How could I meet their needs through HABIT? Meet Oliver, the 19th member of our classroom. Weekly, students anticipate Oliver’s arrival. They each spend several minutes reading to him. Through this exercise, they are able to practice

HABIT dog Oliver meets his classmates: (front) Addison Rittenhouse, Zoie Bourgoyne, Emery Benfield, Sarah Engle, Jenneh Day, Anna Lynn Harms, Amelia Frazier, Abigail Barnes, Paul Clute; (back) teacher Sarah Warren, Tessa Krokowski, Dario Love, Walker Beavers, Thomas Simpson, Ethan Harpending, Samuel Brophy, Ian Johnson, Adam Howard, Kaylin Ritchie. reading without the pressure of reading in front of others, which helps improve fluency. Oliver does not judge when a mistake is made; he just listens. Students are able to spend time loving on him

and petting him, which is very therapeutic and acts as a stress reliever. John 15:5 says, “I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he is that bears

much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.” What better way to be the branches than by investing in our children and community? Let’s begin to bear fruit together!

Congratulations to CAK’s Class of 2013!

beside them, their nursing co-workers. The final winners are then selected by a panel of hospital leaders that includes past honorees. The Registered Nurse winners of this year’s Clinical Excellence Awards are: Veronica Baxter, 7 North; Emily Bobbitt, 5 North; Jody Campbell, Post Anesthesia; Kayla Davis, 9 North; Brenda Dunn, Surgery; Carolyn Goodman, Case Management; Jessica Heldman Harvey, 3 West; Rachael Hurst, 2 North; Trish Hurst, Emergency; Danny Jones, Ambulatory Infusion; Kelly Martin, Nursery; Brenda Mertz, 6 North; Kathy Neal,

Happiness is a fit puppy Summer’s coming, and pet owners are looking forward to getting outside with their furry friends. It’s a good time to assess your pet’s general health and fitness level.

Carol Zinavage

Carol’s Critter Corner Dr. Marti Drum, assistant professor at the UT vet school and an expert in pet fitness, offers some guidelines to help you determine whether your animal companion might need a little shapeup. View your pet from above. You should see a curved indentation just behind the rib cage. A straight line from head to tail could mean that your pet is overweight. If his middle is wider than his shoulders and hips, he’s probably obese. View your pet from the side. There should be a nice “tuck” behind the rib

cage, before the hind legs. A straight line or sag in the belly area likely means your pet is overweight or obese. Cats are especially prone to belly fat. Gently run your fingers along your pet’s rib cage. The ribs should be felt easily with very little pressure. Check for extra padding and folds at the base of the tail. Except in some rare breeds like Shar-Pei, an extra roll of skin in that area indicates obesity. If you’re feeding your pet table scraps, reconsider. Dr. Drum says, “Table scraps are very calorically dense. A visibly small

amount of food to a person is a large amount for a pet. One ounce of cheese eaten by a 20-pound dog is equivalent to two and a half hamburgers eaten by a person. A cup of milk for a cat equals five Hershey bars for a human.” Scraps can cause vomiting and diarrhea, and may contain potentially toxic ingredients not recognized by the average pet owner. So as much as you want to indulge the little beggar at your feet, resist the urge and stick to food and treats made just for pets. Pets are built for daily exercise. If you’re a “weekend warrior” who hikes with

your dog, that dog needs activity during the week. Just a 10- to 30-minute walk twice a day will help condition your pal for weekend activities. And you benefit, too! A fenced yard doesn’t automatically guarantee exercise for your pet; napping in the springtime sun is too tempting. Get out there and throw the ball! And taking your dog with you to the mailbox or out in the yard while you’re weeding are easy ways to build in exercise. As with humans, the consequences of pet obesity are dire. Arthritis, ACL tears and other orthopedic problems, diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, chronic skin infections – overweight pets are susceptible to all of these. And those vet bills add up. So do your pet, yourself and your pocketbook a favor – shape up and be happier and healthier for summer! Last week’s column mentioned that the shooting of any bald or golden eagle, or hawk of any type, is a federal offense and should be reported.

NEWS FROM PROVISION HEALTH & WELLNESS

Casey Peer Managing Director, Chief Dietitian

SSummer ummer reci recipes ipes

As summer arrives, it brings a variety of wonderful fruits and vegetables. It is recommended that we include 7-10 servings into our diet each day. Here are some tips that will help you reach this goal.

Provision raises the bar for health clubs

Grilled vegetables 6 servings (25 calories, 5g carbs, 0.5g protein) 10 spears asparagus, 2 cups mushrooms, 1 cup onions, 1 cup cabbage. Place on oil-brushed foil. Then brush vegetables with olive oil, sprinkle with herbs and close foil. Cook on grill for 20-25 minutes or until tender.

Grilled beets in rosemary vinegar 6 servings (27 calories, 6.2g carbs, 0.7g protein) 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar, 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary, 1 clove garlic (peeled and crushed), ½ teaspoon herbes de Provence, 3 medium beets (sliced into rounds). Mix vinegar, rosemary, garlic, and herbes de Provence. Marinate beets in mixture for 20 minutes. Preheat grill to high heat and lightly oil grate. Place beets and marinade mixture on foil and wrap. Cook on grill 25 minutes or until beets are tender. Remove from foil, place directly on grill grate for two to five minutes. Serve hot.

Peach and berry salad 4 servings (171 calories) 3 fresh peaches, 1 ½ pint blackberries, 1 pint strawberries (hulled and sliced), ¼ cup honey, ½ teaspoon ground cardamom. Bring medium pot of water to boil. Add peaches and blanch for 30 seconds. Drain and transfer to medium bowl. Cover with cold water and cool. Drain, peel, and slice. In medium bowl, combine peaches, blackberries, strawberries, honey and cardamom. Toss together and refrigerate.

By Shana Raley-Lusk Provision Health and Wellness is not your average fitness club. Provision’s unique way of providing support for members is what sets it apart from the rest. “Yes, we’ve got the latest equipment and technology,” says managing director and chief dietitian Casey Peer. “But that doesn’t get you anywhere without learning how to make healthy habits stick.” Casey talked about the supportive sense of community that has developed over the last two and half years since Provision opened in the Dowell Springs medical

complex off Middlebrook Pike. “We see it especially in our Functional Fitness classes. Participants have a buddy system. They know each other and check on someone who misses a class,” says Casey. That particular class has even started a monthly luncheon. “Everyone brings a healthy dish and spends time together outside of the class. We are a resource to help people reach their goals,” says Casey. This type of buddy system works to create accountability. “You’re around people

who want good things for each other. It’s a very real place and we’re proud of that. People compete with themselves, and when they have questions about how to perform better, they know we have the information. We provide credible answers,” Casey says. Regardless of the participant’s goals, the folks at Provision have programs and staff to guide them in their activity. “We feel a connection to our members,” Casey says. “I have belonged to a variety of facilities and have taught classes in a variety of settings. You really feel the

support when you are here.” Casey also emphasizes the fact that Provision uses a different approach by promoting comprehensive wellness rather than simply fitness. “It takes more time and staff, but it’s what sets us apart,” she says. The difference can be seen in Provision’s work with diabetes, oncology and everything from Functional Fitness to Yoga for Endurance Athletes. “This is a destination; people want to spend time here,” says Casey. “We are a resource to help people reach their goals.”

Upcoming classes The Yoga and Hoops Series fuses the physical and mental benefits of yoga with the playfulness and selfexpression of hoop dance. It is perfect for those new to hooping or anyone looking to spice up their yoga practice. Class begins with gentle stretches to warm the body and still the mind, then f lows into a fun hooping skills series designed to foster creative expression and raise the heart rate. Next, you will be skillfully guided through a yogahoop fusion f low sequence, allowing you to explore your

yoga practice from inside your hoop. Class will close with yoga stretches and a blissful savasana to promote relaxation and renewal. Practitioners of all backgrounds and skill levels are welcome. Come give it a whirl! The six-week series of 75-minute sessions starts at 6 p.m. Thursday, June 6. Outdoor Bootcamps start in June! These will be held outdoors if weather permits. Info: 865-232-1414

Nursing excellence Parkwest, Peninsula honor best during Nurses Week A pair of veteran nurses – one a certified wound and ostomy care nurse and the other known for enhancing the intravenous skills of the nursing staff – recently took the top award at Parkwest Medical Center’s annual National Nurses Week reception to recognize nursing excellence. Scott Barnett of Parkwest’s Enterostomal Therapy department and Sandy Irons of its Special Procedures department were named winners of the 2013 Leanne Baker Professional Nurse Award, the most prestigious honor given to nurses of Parkwest and Peninsula Hospital. “The Leanne Baker Award is really special to me,” said Janice McKinley, Covenant Health’s senior vice president and chief nursing officer who presented the Baker awards. “As we talked about the individuals who epitomize what a professional nurse looked like, it was Leanne Baker. What would Leanne Baker do? How would she manage the care of our patients? She set that professional standard. She had compassion for every patient and she was a true leader and a clinical expert.” The award, presented annually in memory of the award’s namesake, recognizes the best of the best of those who help set the standard for professional nursing at Parkwest. Baker contributed to the standard for nursing care through her compassion for the patient, professional demeanor and unwavering leadership. Traditionally presented to

recipients in two areas – Professional Practice and Nursing Leadership, both winners of this year’s award were nominated in the area of Professional Practice. Irons, who was on vacation and unaware of her selection, was nominated by Connie Wagner, director of Parkwest’s radiology and diagnostics department. In her nomination form, Wagner Not all Clinical Excellence winners were in attendance, but those who were wrote of Irons, “She included, from left: Judy Moore, Senior Behavioral Health; Dr. Jesse Doers of is well-received and Stat Care Medical Group; Hannah Toomey, 2 Montvue; Paige Harnett, Post recognized not only Anesthesia Care Unit; Delana Buyck, Peninsula; Scott Barnett, Enterostomal by patients, but also Therapy; Ashley Lyons, GI/Infusion Center; Bobbi Strunk, 4 Montvue; Martha patients’ families.
