Scenic Knoxville received Scenic America’s Stafford Award during last week’s celebration of the local organization’s eight years of advocacy and accomplishment. Mary Tracy, president of Scenic America and Scenic Philadelphia, was the keynote speaker. She described Scenic Knoxville as “one of our stars.� Previous recipients of the Stafford Award, named for former U.S. Sen. Robert Stafford of Vermont, include Lady Bird Johnson and U.S. Sen. Lamar Alexander. Scenic Knoxville President Joyce Feld kicked off the evening by noting the group’s accomplishments, which include helping to achieve a ban on digital billboards in the city and county, and a ban on new electronic message centers in the city. Scenic Knoxville advocacy also contributed to the passage of the city’s new sign ordinance. How a community looks matters, said Feld. “Attractive cities inspire pride and invite new residents, tourists and high-quality commercial investment. They create higher property values and greater economic prosperity, benefiting residents and business alike. Attractive cities are where people want to live, work and recreate.� Julie Webb, a founding member of the Scenic Knoxville board, received a lifetime achievement award. Feld was also recognized for serving as president for seven years.

Sidewalks, Tennova discussed by Wesley Neighbors By Wendy Smith The Wesley Neighbors are actively campaigning for a new sidewalk on Sheffield Drive, but last week they heard disappointing words from District 2 City Council member and Vice Mayor Duane Grieve − don’t get your hopes up. Grieve spoke at the homeowners association meeting. He’s met with Knoxville Mayor Madeline Rogero twice to discuss the project, he said. Sidewalk requests are ranked based on a formula that awards points for projects that are within a school’s Parental Responsibility Zone or connect existing sidewalks, among other criteria. The Sheffield Drive project received 10 points out of a possible 13. That puts it in line behind five other projects in District 2, and those projects are estimated to cost $25 million. The city’s annual budget for sidewalks is $500,000, he said. The estimated cost for the Sheffield Drive sidewalk is $1.2 million. He encouraged residents to keep working. Sheffield Drive has a 60-foot right-of-way and is only 24 feet wide, which should keep the city from having to purchase

right-of-way. If all of the neighbors on one side of the road agree to the sidewalk, the process would be simpler, he said. Sheffield Drive resident Sandy Robinson was undaunted by Grieve’s news. “We will not give up,� she said. She helped organize the recent “Walk for West Hills.� The walk, orchestrated to bring attention to the need for a sidewalk, drew residents of all ages, including 92-year-old Jim Boehms. City Council members Finbarr Saunders and George Wallace attended last week’s meeting. Wallace suggested that the sidewalk be installed in three phases. Jerry Askew, vice president of external relations for Tennova, was asked to give an update on the future Middlebrook Pike hospital. The sewer line is being moved, and the gas line will soon follow. The plan is to finish utility work by Oct. 1, barring a serious weather event. Then, construction of the hospital can begin, he said. Donnie Ernst, vice president of the Wesley Neighbors, suggested that Tennova help out with the sidewalk project “as a gesture.�

Sandy Robinson and Duane Grieve share a laugh at last week’s Wesley Neighbors meeting. Photo by Wendy Smith “Jerry − just think about it,� he said. Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett also spoke at the meeting. His sister still lives in the Bennington Drive home in which he grew up. “You’re in the best neighborhood

in America. I’m a West Hills boy.� He spoke in favor of consolidating some city and county services. Government is too big, he said.

Co-hosted by Dogwood Arts and Cancer Support Community, this year’s Artitude fundraiser had something for everyone. A silent auction of local art featured one-of-a-kind furniture and wall, table and door dÊcor – heck, even decorated tables and doors. Hors d’oeuvres including Ham N’ Goody’s lemon cookies were served in abundance, and Scarves by Design operated a makeshift studio for eventgoers to create scarves for a $25 donation. Money raised from the scarf studio will help fund future events at which cancer patients can create their own scarves for free. According to its website, Cancer Support Community is a nonprofit offering support to anyone impacted by cancer, and proceeds from Artitude will help those affected in East Tennessee.

DeAlejandro to speak at Pellissippi graduation By Sara Barrett Krissy DeAlejandro, executive director of tnAchieves, will speak to graduates of Pellissippi State Community College at this year’s spring commencement ceremony May 6. DeAlejandro “ A l though I talk in front of people a lot, admittedly, I’m nervous,� says DeAlejandro. “I often tell students I am very much like them, and I understand how intimidating the process of getting an education can be. But it can change your life.� DeAlejandro grew up in rural Warren County, southeast of Nashville. Her mother didn’t graduate from high school, and neither of her parents graduated from college. “I always knew I was going to college, maybe because I’ve always been very competitive. “As a first generation, lowincome, rural college student, I will share a few lessons from my experience,� DeAlejandro said of her commencement topics. “I want students from similar backgrounds to understand that what might seem like an adversity is really an opportunity. I truly believe that higher education changes life trajectories. It certainly changed my life.� After graduating from Sewanee, DeAlejandro worked as an adjunct professor at PSCC teaching

political science and college success before helping launch knoxAchieves, a precursor to tnAchieves, in 2008. DeAlejandro oversees the Tennessee Promise lastdollar scholarship in 54 counties. “tnAchieves has been sending students to Pellissippi State since 2009, so I’m excited that many of our students will be in the audience graduating this year. “I’ve had a long and very supportive relationship with Pellissippi State throughout the tnAchieves journey,� DeAlejandro said. “I look forward to sharing my experiences working with students the last eight years – I do believe many of these students will go on to do great things.� Each tnAchieves scholarship recipient must complete eight hours of community service prior to each semester, and DeAlejandro says what started as a minor point when creating the program has now become a shining jewel in its crown. “Much of our work is rooted in community ser-

vice,� she says. “If a student is interested in nursing, we encourage them to find community service in that field. It helps them find a niche and a career.� Since its inception, tnAchieves recipients have completed more than 540,000 hours of community service. Pellissippi State president L. Anthony Wise Jr. says DeAlejandro “has been a great partner to Pellissippi State in rolling out the knoxAchieves, tnAchieves and Tennessee Promise access programs. “I admire her passion for students across our state in encouraging them to take advantage of higher education opportunities,� he says. Pellissippi’s spring commencement will be held 7 p.m. Friday, May 6, at Thompson-Boling Arena. More than 750 students will graduate and approximately 450 of them are expected to participate in the ceremony. “This is so humbling for me,� DeAlejandro says of the invitation to speak at graduation. “This is a full circle moment for me. And this is their moment to shine.�

Sidewalks, Tennova He’d like to see concentric circles drawn around the city, with residents within each circle having a “buffet� of services from which to choose. The city’s police and fire departments are excellent, he said. “We have city and county

services because people don’t have the guts to say we can do better. Our buying power could be doubled.� He didn’t offer hope that the county would help with sidewalks, but he encouraged the group to keep talking about the project.

government Stirring up trouble Shopper columnist Victor Ashe got a few folks upset with his prediction last week that West Hills residents would get the sidewalk they requested with a 7:30 a.m. walk on Sheffield Drive from Wesley Road to West Hills Elementary School on Vanosdale. Ashe pointed to safety concerns and support from three members of City Council: Vice Mayor Duane Grieve, George Wallace and Marshall Stair. State Rep. Martin Daniel wrote council members in support of the project, drawing fire from at least two who resented the interference. “Tell Martin and Victor that they should go to England if they want to represent the privileged class. No landed gentry here,� wrote Nick Della Volpe. And Mark Campen wrote: “I’m all for sidewalks and understand the obvious need for one in this area, but if all it takes to move a particular area up the priority list is having an organized walk and having the media show up, I’ll have the TV cameras rolling in the fifth next week! “There are some particularly dangerous areas in Inskip where kids walk along sections of road that could really use sidewalks too, as it is in every district.�

No comments yet from Mayor Madeline Rogero or the remaining four council members: Brenda Palmer, Nick Pavlis, Daniel Brown and Finbarr Saunders. ■Jim McIntyre being hired by UT to teach educational leadership is like bringing Captain Bligh from HMS Bounty around to teach seamanship. Lauren Hopson could play the role of Fletcher Christian, who led the mutiny. When the new school board takes office in September, just two of nine members will NOT be former teachers. Until Mike McMillan, I can’t remember another former teacher serving on the board. A school principal should represent and advocate for her teachers to the superintendent and policy makers, not passively impose mandates from people who have never been in a classroom. Until McIntyre understands why he lost Knox County Schools he should not be training future administrators. What was UT thinking?

A killing at Danny Mayfield Park With some exceptions, mostly when writing obituary columns, I try to avoid using the pronoun I on this page. But sometimes there’s no way around it. This week is one of those times. When posts started appearing on my Facebook feed Saturday-before-last announcing that another Knoxville child had been shot by gangbangers, all I could think was, Dear God, not again. The story kept getting worse as the blanks got filled in. This victim was 12 years old and a cousin of Zaevion Dobson, the Fulton High School sophomore who became a national hero last December after he died while trying to shield two neighborhood girls from a burst of gunfire aimed at kids sitting on a friend’s porch. This time, the victim’s name was JaJuan Latham. He and his father had attended a celebrity basketball game dedicated to Zaevion that evening, and afterward they’d stopped to pick up one of JaJuan’s friends who was attending a cookout. JaJuan was sitting in his daddy’s car when the bullets started flying. Early reports said it happened on Moses Street. Later information was a fist in the gut: Danny Mayfield Park. Danny Mayfield was re-

Betty Bean lentlessly exuberant, selfdisciplined, faith-driven and so optimistic that he thought he could do anything he put his mind to – even beat bone cancer. More than anything, he dedicated his life to saving kids. If that sounds melodramatic, tough. That’s who he was. He’d come here from New Jersey to attend Knoxville College, met a girl named Melissa on the bus to Knoxville, married her and had two children, finished school and lived the rest of his life in Mechanicsville, within blocks of the barren little acre that would be named for him after he was dead. He and Chris Woodhull founded a street ministry called Tribe One, which was dedicated to saving young people from the dangers of the street. I got to know him shortly before he decided to run for City Council. It was considered a major political upset when he was elected at the age of 28, but he was pretty much stymied in office by most of his colleagues, who resented his upstart ways. But he tried. And he cared. And he inspired. His

Danny Mayfield Jr. public suffering brought out the best – and the worst – in people, many of whom banded together to support the young family while a few circled and schemed and looked for ways to take what he had. It was excruciating to watch, but Danny’s faith in God and his fellow humans was unshakable. His gratitude was boundless. One of the speakers at his funeral was a Tribe One alumnus, a young man who described what Danny meant to him. This is part of what he said: “We had just come in from playing basketball, and we were talking about guns, and why do we carry guns. I always had an answer. I said that if I didn’t have a gun on me the night before, I probably would have been dead if I hadn’t shot back.

“Right then, he started crying in the middle of the meeting. I remember it like it was yesterday. Around this time a lot of young dudes were dying and stuff. Our first reaction? We laughed. We were cracking up. Not right in his face, but we said, ‘What’s wrong, dude?’ “And he said he was crying for us. He just wanted us to see, to get the message. ‌ He looked straight at me and said I was who he was crying for. I knew exactly what he meant. He was crying for me, but he was really crying for us all. Today, I get that feeling when I talk to people who don’t see what I see – you want to reach inside of them and turn a knob so they’ll get it.â€? Last week, I visited the makeshift memorial on the corner of College Street and Moses, where balloons and flowers and teddy bears and a little stack of handwritten notes promising never to forget JaJuan and puddles of congealed candle wax are arranged on the sidewalk outside Danny Mayfield Park. Who invented balloons with durable black matte surfaces suitable for writing eulogies to murdered children? And who knew that the park named for Danny would become a killing field? This is not the legacy he worked so hard to leave us.

Get away to St. Helena Two months ago in February, I visited an island that had been on my bucket list for years. It is St. Helena, a British Overseas Territory located in the South Atlantic Ocean between Africa (Angola is 1,200 miles east) and South America (Brazil is 1,800 miles west). St. Helena is best known as the final site for the exile of Napoleon Bonaparte after his defeat at Waterloo in 1815. He lived there until his death in 1821. It is also the home of Jonathan, the world’s oldest known living reptile (a tortoise; more on him later). Just getting there is not easy. There is not yet an operating certified airport. One has been built at great cost but it has not been certified. The only way to travel there was on the RMS St. Helena (the monthly mail ship), which travels from Cape Town, South Africa, to St. Helena. It is a five-day voyage each way. The ship, after leaving passengers and freight at St. Helena, continues north 700 miles to Ascension, which hosts an American air base, and returns a few days later

Victor Ashe

to St. Helena to return to Cape Town. So I flew by way of London and Munich to Cape Town, arriving a few days before the ship was due to sail. The ship is half freighter and half passenger. But five days in a finite area of space gets old quickly despite good food and efforts to break the routine with games, movies and reading. The ocean was calm both ways as February is summer in the Southern Hemisphere. There is not a harbor, so ships anchor in the ocean and a tender brings the passengers and cargo to shore. If the ocean is too rough, then passengers stay on ship or land but not between. One usually stays on the island for eight days. Time goes quickly as there is much to do. Accommodations range from basic to

quite nice, mostly on a bedand-breakfast basis. There are 4,100 permanent residents and usually about 100 tourists at one time. Only 900 tourists visited in 2015. A governor general is appointed by Queen Elizabeth II on the recommendation of the prime minister. He and an elected council govern the island. I had a car rental to drive on the 80 miles of paved, one-lane roads, which made it easy to get around, but the roads were often steep with sharp turns and curves. Longwood, where Napoleon lived, was a fairly simple house lacking the imperial trappings he had left in France. He was basically under house arrest for the five years he lived there. He could go anywhere on the island if accompanied by British troops (guards). He was buried there in 1821 and his remains were moved to France in 1840. France maintains the empty tomb and house today through a French representative on the island. The tortoise Jonathan is believed to be 184 years old. No one knows for cer-

tain other than he arrived from the Seychelles in the 1880s and was thought to be close to 50 then. He lives in the front yard of Plantation House where the governor general resides. He is well cared for. In fact, he is hand-fed twice weekly by caretakers. Living with him are three much younger tortoises. Other sights include volcanic scenery, whales, dolphins and snorkeling. There is little industry on the island. There are few beaches. Tourism is believed to offer plausible economic vitality but it has a long ways to improve to attract significant numbers. For more information and pictures, go online to sthelenatourism. com and check out the website for the RMS St. Helena, which is rms-st-helena.com For visitors, there is much to discover about Napoleon, hiking and walks, whale and dolphin watching, snorkeling and knowing you are on one of the most remote places on this planet but still in a civilized area under the British crown. Internet is spotty and expensive. Phone service is adequate.

An area of research is honeybees. One of the prohibited items to be imported or carried by arriving passengers is honey. Worldwide, honeybees are disappearing in large numbers. But not in St. Helena where they flourish due to its remoteness. Some believe St. Helena may be the one place that saves honeybees worldwide.

I was helped in anticipating what I would see by Edgar and Lyn Faust, who live in the Hardin Valley area, who had been to St. Helena in the 1970s when they sailed around the world for three years and stopped there. They are the only other folks from here who I know have been there. If you know of others, do share the information with me.

The Infertility Journey

Mother’s Day Mammography Special

If getting pregnant has been a challenge for you and your partner, you are not alone. Ten to 15 percent of couples in the United States are dealing with infertility due to a single cause or a combination of factors. Coping can be extremely difďŹ cult and the emotional burden is considerable. If you are having this experience, we invite you to attend our new support group. While we can’t always change our circumstances, we can hopefully change the effect they have on us.

Early detection of breast cancer with mammography means that treatment can be started earlier in the course of the disease, possibly before it’s spread. Make it a point to have a mammogram annually, even if you have no signs or symptoms. Call us and schedule your mammogram on the days listed below and enjoy special pampering and a gift.

Most women don’t notice the symptoms of heart disease until it’s too late. On average, women typically wait about 54 hours before contacting their physician. That’s why heart disease has been called the silent killer. Join us for educational activities, demonstrations and the opportunity to learn your risk for cardiac arrest, heart attack or death. Together we can help save lives.

you say ‘compete for an SEC championship,’ which is what we need to be doing here in this program, it’s hard to say there’s one position that is ready to compete for an SEC championship.

Brick-by-brick reconstruction was one year slower than it had to be but Jones, after three years, is so far ahead of where Dooley left off after three, it is difficult to compare. You do remember Sal Sunseri, defensive coordinator? He had connections to 2012 school records – most points permitted (428) and most yards allowed (5,657). Optimism regarding this upcoming season is running briskly ahead of logic and reality. Tennessee is good but not good enough to take any SEC foe lightly. You will see in late September that Florida does not give up a decade of domination without a fight. A week later, Georgia will convince you that a new coach does not

Obvious: This is the best team Tennessee has had in several years. Obvious 2: Dooley and Jones are from different worlds. Marvin West invites reader reaction. His address is westwest6@netzero.com

Tubman on the $20: Money and politics Everyone complains about money in politics. Republicans object to the money funneled into campaigns from big labor. Democrats complain about money coming in from big business. Lately, folks in both political parties complain about so-called super PACs and their billionaire donors. We’re used to money in politics. Last week, we learned there can even be politics in money. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew announced that Harriet Tubman will replace President Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill. With that, the Obama administration is playing shrewd politics. Harriet Tubman lived an incredible life. Born a slave, Tubman escaped slavery through sheer wit and with the help of the Underground Railroad. Tubman later worked to guide others to freedom, earning the name

Scott Frith

“Moses� for leading an exodus of slaves to the North. During the Civil War, Tubman served as a Union spy and assisted American troops in defeating the Confederacy. If that weren’t enough, Tubman went on to participate in the women’s suffrage movement and lived to the ripe old age of 91. There are few greater American stories than Harriet Tubman’s. Without question, Tubman’s life merits honor on U.S. currency. Contrast the life and accomplishments of Harriet Tubman with the life and presidency of Andrew Jackson.

Andrew Jackson was a Tennessean, hero of the War of 1812, and a populist who threw the eastern establishment out of the White House. Yet other parts of his legacy make him an easy target. First, Andrew Jackson was a slave owner. Second, Jackson, in violation of federal law, forced the removal of Native Americans from their eastern lands to the frontier west. This “Trail of Tears� is often cited by historians as an American genocide and resulted in the deaths of thousands of Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek and Seminole. These stains on Andrew Jackson’s legacy make him a perfect foil for the Obama administration in an election year. African-Americans make up a significant portion of the Democratic party’s base. What better way to en-

courage African-American supporters than replacing a slave owner on the $20 bill with a freed slave? It’s good politics. Even better, some have even used the new $20 bill to criticize Donald Trump. President Jackson was a hot-headed populist who sought to overturn the established order. The same is often said of Trump. The Obama administration, by highlighting Jackson, not only encourages its own base, but also takes a notso-veiled shot at the favorite for the Republican nomination. Trump refuses to be outdone. Playing to the strengths of his candidacy, Trump calls the currency change mere “political correctness.� It may be. Of course, in an election year, everything is political.

Vol fan shares 50 years of memories

By Cindy Taylor Enjoy a great, homecooked meal at Rami’s CafĂŠ while also helping a great cause. From 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Thursday, April 28, Rami’s will donate 10 percent of sales to The Manor at Northgate Terrace. Rami’s owner, Basel Natour, is extending his hours for the event, presented by the Greater Knoxville Sertoma Club. Usually, Rami’s is open for breakfast and lunch. The Manor at Northgate Terrace supplies supportive services to seniors who need a little help but wish to remain independent. Those 60 and older can live in a private apartment setting in a facility that caters specifically to individuals who have daily living issues often associated with aging. Residents are charged a flat monthly fee along with rent based on their income. The Manor offers two meals daily, weekly cleaning and laundry service, personal checks on residents, a personal emergency response system and many other amenities. Teresa Lawson is the supportive services coordinator at The Manor. “I eat at Rami’s at least once every couple of weeks,â€? she said. “I was there with a Manor advisory committee member for lunch one day discussing fundraising. We decided to approach the owner, Basel Natour, and ask if he would consider helping.â€? Natour has owned Rami’s since January 2015. He says he was excited to help. “I like to step out and support worthy causes in my community. This is our third fundraiser. It helps us, and it helps the causes we support.â€?

Teresa Lawson of The Manor, Rami’s CafÊ owner Basel Natour and Manor resident Barbara Stone at Rami’s CafÊ. Photo by Cindy Taylor

Barbara Stone has lived at The Manor for the past year. “I have made a lot of friends there,� she said. “I have had some health issues and been through chemo. I don’t have to worry about cooking, and the staff has taken really good care of me.� Even with residents paying much of the cost, help is always needed to fund the facility. Lawson says that supportive services

are not covered under HUD or public housing. With limited income, residents cannot afford the full cost of the services The Manor provides. Natour and Lawson hope the community will rally around the residents and support them by bringing family and friends to enjoy a wonderful meal at Rami’s tomorrow (April 28). Rami’s CafÊ is at 3553 North Broadway. Event info: 403-1410, ext. 1411.

Folks of a certain age will really appreciate Bob Arnold’s first book, “Through Orange Colored Glasses: Memories of a Big Orange Fan.� Arnold saw his first game on Oct. 15, 1960, when Tennessee beat Alabama 20-7 on Shields-Watkins Field. As a resident of Dayton, Tenn., Arnold was especially proud of his hometown star, quarterback Andy Kelly, and his contributions to the Vols. Bob colored his van orange and white; he wore the school’s colors often; and he kept notes of virtually every game he watched. His book is a diary, chronicling his feelings through the ebbs and flows of the more than 50 seasons he watched the football Vols compete, according to a press release. Bob had professional assistance from historian Tom Mattingly and editor Martha Rose Woodward. “Bob is an exceptional fan,� said Mattingly. “It is

Bob Arnold not enough to say he is a die-hard fan. He’s a fan who literally lives and dies with the fortunes of the Tennessee Vols, from the orange and white van he once drove through the streets of Dayton and to games wherever they were played, to his ‘Orange Room,’ a collection of Tennessee memorabilia that has to be seen to be believed.� The book is priced at $17.99 and is available online through amazon. com or in bookstores nationwide through the publishing company Createspace.

A sign of the times [Jesus] answered them, “When it is evening, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.’ And in the morning, ‘It will be stormy today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times.� (Matthew 16: 2-3 NRSV) On a recent April morning I looked out our kitchen window toward the west and saw a sky that was blood-red. It was both beautiful and frightening, and odd, I thought, for the western sky to be red in the morning. It reminded me of the old saw, “Red sky at morning, sailor take warning.� It also reminded me of a story my mother used to tell of a morning long before I was born. One winter morning, a neighbor left his house to milk his cows and saw the aurora borealis streaking up the northern sky. He apparently didn’t know about the northern lights and was certain that it forebode the end of the world. I think it was my grandfather, who lived across the road from him, who assured him that there was nothing to fear. It was unusual, to be

Anyone in the community who finds themselves short of pantry items, household supplies, or personal hygiene items is welcome to attend Saturday’s food giveaway event. “I don’t care how rich you are, or how poor you are,� said coordinator Mary Hunt. “If you are in need, please come.� The church plans to distribute pantry items such as canned fruits and vegetables, rice, chili, breakfast

sure, for the aurora to be so visible as far south as Tennessee. It does get one’s attention. Which was, I think, Jesus’ point. We take note of things that get our attention, and sometimes fail to attend to the things that are really important. So what is important? What are the signs of our times? I believe we need to be kinder, gentler, more generous, more forgiving toward each other. I believe we need to be thoughtful about the future of our homes, our land, our nation, our dear little world. I believe.

News from Mission of Hope

Breaking the cycle of poverty

Mission of Hope: one kid at a time By Anne Hart

When Knoxville-based Mission of Hope awards its college scholarships to graduating seniors in poverty-stricken rural Appalachia, it is giving far more than money. It is offering what the organization’s own name promises: hope. Hope for the future of the student, for their families, and, for many of those students, for the communities to which they choose to return with new-found knowledge and skills that can help lift that area out of the darkness to a brighter future. Each of the new scholarship students is teamed up with a mentor to help guide them along the way. The mentors support their protĂŠgĂŠs in a wide variety of ways, depending on the needs of the particular student, but the bond is a strong one. Mentor Cindy Lloyd describes her role as “an opportunity to be a support or connection for someone who is perhaps the ďŹ rst in their family to attend college and is willing to work unbelievably hard to get that college degree. “These are kids who don’t know how college works, and many of them start from behind because they don’t have some of the classes or knowledge that they need to compete in a college setting.â€? Lloyd has mentored four of the Mission of Hope scholarship recipients over the years. One of them is Haley Davis, now in her second semester at Roane State Community College. “Sometimes Cindy will text me ‘Hope you are OK,’â€? Haley says. “It just brightens my day. She is so sweet. All of the Mission of Hope people are so sweet and caring – every single one of them.â€? Haley grew up in Halls and attended Halls Middle School. After a move

to Speedwell, Tenn., she started her sophomore year at Cumberland Gap High School. During her senior year, looking for funds to help her get to college, she found an application form for a Mission of Hope scholarship posted at her school. “I sent in the form and then they interviewed me and I was so nervous, and I really didn’t think I would get it,â€? she recalls. “When they announced it at the school banquet I was so surprised and so happy.â€? At a later Mission of Hope banquet, all 13 of the scholarship recipients were surprised and overjoyed when each received a laptop computer, a printer and a college-speciďŹ c backpack ďŹ lled with other gifts. Haley’s backpack included a gas card, which she says came in especially handy as she navigates the roads between home, school and her job as a cashier at the Save-A-Lot store in LaFollette. “I drive a lot,â€? she says. “My gas bill is horrible.â€? Haley is majoring in chemistry. “I want to go into the medical ďŹ eld and I’m really interested in neurology, particularly in dementia and Alzheimer’s, because I would like to be able to help people with those diseases.â€? But with a degree in chemistry, there are also other options. “I just toured the Oak Ridge National Labs and thought it was really cool. I think it would be great to get into anything that is chemistry-related.â€? Haley is a hard worker. While other college students may take the summer off, she isn’t one of them. “I actually have a summer class I need to take to keep me from falling behind, and I have just enough funds from Mission of Hope to do that. Isn’t that awesome? They are helping me so much.â€?

Mentor Cindy Lloyd, who works closely with Mission of Hope staffer Diane Webster to be sure the scholarship students are getting the help each needs, describes the program’s tremendous success this way: “We don’t just say ‘Here’s the money and good luck.’ We say ‘Here’s the money and here’s my hand and my help.’ It’s not just a scholarship; it’s a relationship.� And the relationship is working well. Close to 100 scholarships have been granted to date, and the program’s success rate is above the national average.

As Mission of Hope’s director, Emmette Thompson, puts it, “We are breaking the cycle of poverty, one kid at a time.� Mission of Hope’s scholarships, as are all of its programs throughout the year, are made possible entirely through donations, and the need is always great.

Hart retires after 38 years Since she’s been teaching in Knox County Schools for 26 years, it is hard to believe Vicky Hart initially had trouble finding a job with the school system.

Sara Barrett

Hart taught in Nashville for 12 years before moving to Knoxville with her husband, David. She spent her first year with KCS as a substitute, but she wasn’t getting calls for permanent positions. “After repeatedly getting nowhere with Knox County’s central office, she contacted U.S. Rep. Bob Clement in Washington, D.C.,” says David. Clement’s daughter had been in Hart’s class in Nashville, and Hart had become friends with the family. Clement called thenKnox County Schools’ superintendent Earl Hoffmeister directly to find out why Hart was getting passed over despite her years of experience. “Hoffmeister looked into it himself and found that Vicky’s personnel file was misfiled under her maiden name and not her married name,” Dave continues. “Hoffmeister must have been impressed as he called her into his office and told

West Hills Elementary School kindergarten teacher Vicky Hart discusses Earth Day with some of her students. her she had friends in high places. She was hired soon after. It took a Member of Congress to get Vicky into the Knox County system.” Once she got her foot in the door, Hart kept it there and has now taught for KCS grades K-2 for the last 26 years. She has been at West Hills Elementary School for a good part of that time. “I’ve just loved working with children and seeing them learn,” says Hart, who has taught kindergarten for the last 19 years. “There’s such a difference in the curriculum now … there is more and more being put on the plate of the younger children academically,” she says of the changes she’s noticed over the years. “It’s not always as developmental as it should be.” Hart says most students

over the years have enjoyed science most, specifically “studying the life cycles of anything.” “I love that it is an experience some of them have never had,” she says of letting each student grow a plant from a seed. “We’re not testing them on that in kindergarten; we’re just exposing them to it.” Hart admits to keeping mementos over the years, including some of the Recipes of Love the children write at Valentine’s Day. “They’ll say to use 10 pounds of ground beef and bake it for 10 hours,” she says with a laugh. “School has been my life, my second home all these years. I love going back and remembering these children.” One of her greatest joys has been the students who come to visit once they’re

An exclusive group of retired administration and faculty from WHES is also ready to welcome her. The RALI Girls (Retired and Loving It) meet regularly and include some of Hart’s former coworkers. “No one gets into education for the money,” adds Dave. ”She felt called to teach and make a difference in a child’s life. She has certainly done that. I know she will miss the children.”

ServeKnox fete April 30 Two West High School students have organized a festival to celebrate community projects being planned, developed and implemented by fellow students in East Tennessee. ServeKnox will be held 3:30-6:30 p.m. Saturday, April 30, at WHS. As Bezos Scholars, Griffin Hamstead and Caleb Clark were tasked with creating a festival in their community around an issue they’re passionate about. According to a press release from the two, they felt that students “are too integral a

part of the community not to celebrate and encourage. “So many students in this county are undertaking huge projects and creating so many distinguished and amazing groups, clubs, and activities to do something small – or large – to change their community. We want to celebrate these students for their hard work and encourage other students to follow suit.” Everyone in the community is invited. West High School is located at 3300 Sutherland Avenue.

‘Stop Hunger Now’ on Saturday Last year, West Valley Middle School Student Council member Kristy Dean participated in a Stop Hunger Now event with other members during a Southern Association of Student Councils convention. “Stop Hunger Now is a company that is working to end world hunger in our lifetime,” says Dean. Plastic bags are fi lled with rice, vegetables and spices to be sent overseas to people in need.

“All of us were so amazed at how much food we could package in one hour,” she added. Afterward during a student council meeting at WVMS, it was agreed unanimously that West Valley should host a similar event, and Dean offered to take charge. To host an event, student council needs to raise $5,000 to cover enough supplies for 17,000 meals. “That means 17,000 people who do not always

get to eat will have a hot meal,” she says. Each meal costs 29 cents. The food packaging event will be held 9 a.m.noon Saturday, April 30, in the school gymnasium and cafeteria. “Anyone is welcome to help us package the meals. We would love for this to be a communitywide event,” she says. To make a donation or to volunteer, visit http:// events.stopphungernow. org/westvalleymiddle.

The Bearden High School Class of 2016 has kicked off a campaign to replace aging auditorium seats. To meet this ambitious goal, the Senior Committee is selling seats to honor students, parents, alumni or staff members. The cost of a new seat, with a personalized nameplate, is $200. To purchase a seat, visit www.knoxschools.org/Page/13910. Contact Amy Shipley-Moskal at amy.moskal@knoxschools.org with questions.

Webb welcomes India By Sara Barrett Webb School of Knoxville’s Interact Club hosted students Ambika Agnihotri and Irama Baweja from Bhavan Vidyalaya school (BVC) of Chandigarh, India. The two juniors stayed with host families for two weeks and attended middle and upper school classes with their Webb host sisters. Local outings included a tour of downtown Knoxville, a trip to Cades Cove and ice skating. Through its partnership with Rotary Club of Knoxville, Webb’s Interact Club established a student exchange program with BVC in 2013. Since then, Webb Interactors have traveled to Chandigarh to visit BVC and have volunteered at the Bal Bahar School in the city’s slums. The Interact Club has helped support the Bal Bahar School since 2010.

CHAPTER FOUR: Story So Far: S.O.R’s special soccer team loses their first game, 32-0, but must prepare for their second game Next morning when I walked into my classroom, on the board it read: 32–0! “Who wrote that?” I wanted to know. Ms. Appleton, my homeroom teacher, looked at the numbers as if she hadn’t noticed them before. “I have no idea. Does it mean something?” “Sort of,” I admitted, going right to my desk. “Aren’t you going to tell me?” “I’d rather not.” The rest of the class came in. Every time one of my teammates showed up — four in my room, Saltz, Porter, Lifsom and Hays — they looked up, saw the board, then lowered their eyes. Class came to order. “Ms. Appleton, what’s that mean?” asked one of the girls, the gifted, talented and excessively beautiful Lucy Neblet. “I have no idea. Edward seems to know, but he’s not telling. Or will you?” I hadn’t enjoyed losing the day before. But except for learning what I’d known already, that sports were not my thing, I hadn’t wasted a lot of grief. Yet when Lucy Neblet asked her question, all of a sudden I felt bad. Like I had done something wrong. I looked at Saltz, who sat next to me. He ignored me. “Edward?” persisted Ms. Appleton. I said, “Our special soccer team — first game — we lost by that score.” “Thirty-two to nothing?” hooted Hamilton, who was all-universe at everything. From somewhere in the back of the room came a giggle. Laughs. A grand old time, except for the five of us who were on the team. I felt lower than a mole hole. “I’m sure you’ll do better next time,” said Ms. Appleton. “They couldn’t do worse!” bellowed Hamilton. The bell clanged, and we started history, my favorite subject. It was then that we got to pick our project partner’s name out of a hat. Who should I get but Lucy Neblet. Rather, she got me, because she pulled out my name. Naturally, I didn’t want to show that it was amazingly fantastic with me, but I was sky high. I couldn’t have cared less about soccer. Then, in the lunchroom, a couple of people came up to me — Saltz and I were talking about Lucy — and these guys asked me if it was true about the game. “Yeah, sure,” I said, like Don’t bother me. But it meant word was getting around. Sure enough, from then on, all during lunch, I had this feeling that people were looking over at me and giggling. More than once I’m sure I heard “thirty-two–zip.” I tried to ignore it. Then this big eighth grader came up to me. “Hey, superstar, this is for you.” He handed me a note. I expected the worst until I saw it was a message. I was to see Mr. Lester. Mr. Lester was in his classroom, alone. I glanced at his desk. Usually it was loaded with history books. The American Civil War was his thing. It was neat to hear him talk about it. This time all I saw were soccer books. That upset me. He was taking

things seriously. Sure enough, took on a solemn expression. “I hope you weren’t too troubled about yesterday,” he said. “No way,” I said. “Why should I be?” But I sensed that I was being pushed that way. “We took quite a licking.” “Somebody has to lose,” I said. “The Confederates lost.” “Listen, Ed,” he said. “I’ve been studying. We can make adjustments. But that’s not what I wanted to see you about. It’s recommended here — now, where was it ...” He began to leaf through one of the soccer books. “Oh, it doesn’t matter. What we need — it says — we should have a captain. You would make an admirable one.” He held out his hand to congratulate me. “You are our captain.” “Me?” “You’re our best player. You can set an example.” “Me. The best?” “I saw you block a shot.” I felt like saying that (1) it had been an accident and (2) I didn’t even remember doing it. Instead, I went out of the room feeling positively sick. Me. Best player. Captain ... Good grief. The thought of a slow jog through Death Valley at high noon was much more appealing. That night, to set my mind straight, I called Lucy. We had a long talk about our project. Well, rock bands, mostly, but we began about the project. Then I called Saltz and had a long conversation about my long conversation with Lucy. There were still some nice places in my life. Next day Mr. Lester called an extra practice. No one wanted to go. It meant giving up our one free period. We had no choice. As it turned out, it was really a nice day, sort of golden warm, so it wasn’t bad to be outside. Mr. Lester led us to a place where no one could watch us. “Now, gentlemen,” he said, “we have to think about this game more seriously.” Saltz shot up his hand. “Yes, Saltz?” “Why do we have to take it seriously?” Mr. Lester blinked. “Because ... we do. There’s nothing wrong with losing. It’s just that we shouldn’t lose by so much.” “Isn’t a mile as good as a miss?” asked Hays. Mr. Lester grew quiet. We waited for an answer. “It’s a question of attitude,” he began. “During the American revolutionary war, Americans lost lots of battles, but they didn’t give up.” “Could you give us an example?” I asked, taking my job as a team captain to heart for the first time. Mr. Lester perked up. “Well, yes, many of them. Consider the Battle of Bunker Hill ...” He told us how the Americans got their fort set up at night. How the British came by boat. How they stormed up the hill and what our side did. “Don’t shoot till you see the whites of their eyes!” It was nifty the way he told it. When he was done, he said, “So you see, even though the Americans retreated, it was, in a way, a great victory.” “Anything like that happen during the Civil War?” I wanted to know.

“Actually, the Battle of Gettysburg was one in which no one truly won either, but because of that ...” He was off again, maybe even better than the first time around. We stayed put, happy to let him talk while the sun grew warm. By the time General Lee retreated, the hour was almost gone. He suddenly looked at his watch. “My goodness,” he said. “We’ve used up most of our time.” “What about the Spanish-American War?” asked Root quickly. Mr. Lester blinked. I felt for him. I could see he really wanted to tell us. Instead, with a sigh, he said, “Why don’t you run around the field a couple of times.” That was okay. We pulled ourselves up

and began to trot around at an easy, lazy pace. We did it twice and then came back to where Mr. Lester was waiting for us. “Now what?” asked Barish. “World War Two,” offered Dorman. Mr. Lester, however, checked his watch. Even as he did, we could hear the bell for class. We sprang up and ran back to school. It was computer lab time and no one wanted to miss that. As we went, I looked back over my shoulder. There was Mr. Lester standing under the tree, a bag of soccer balls on the ground. I almost felt sorry for him. I’ll say one thing though; it was the most interesting practice we had all season. (To be continued.)

News from Attorney Rebecca Bell Jenkins

In Rebecca Bell Jenkins’ law practice,

it’s all about family

By Anne Hart Few words in the English language evoke stronger emotions than this: family. Your family members are the ones you want to protect throughout life in every way possible. No one can help you do that more successfully than an experienced family attorney. Every family should have one. Rebecca Bell Jenkins is a family attorney with a practice that covers virtually every aspect of family law from birth to death and beyond. With offices in Franklin Square on Kingston Pike in West Knoxville and on Emory Road in Powell, Bell Jenkins has been in the practice of law since 1995, and has gained recognition as an experienced practitioner in the field of family law.

Family law advocacy The practice of family law has become increasingly important to our everyday lives as more and more families are faced with the realities of divorce and post divorce issues, including matters of spousal support, child support and parenting plan issues. Family law is not limited to divorce issues, but it also includes custody and child support issues for those persons who never married, but who have children together, and those matters are addressed through the Juvenile Court system. Juvenile Court is also the court in which issues regarding the well being of children are brought even when there is no divorce. Family law focuses on practically any area of the law that concerns persons and their family relationships. Legal separations and adoptions are family law issues as well. None of us is trained to handle these matters, and so we look to local attorney

Rebecca Bell Jenkins, a skilled legal practitioner with a focus on family law.

Returning to court Bell Jenkins reminds us that even after a divorce becomes final it is not at all uncommon for persons to return to court. Sometimes court mandated spousal support or child support is not paid in a timely manner or at all. Parenting plans may not be followed by one of the parents or there may be “substantial and material change of circumstances” and one or both parents may seek to modify the parenting plan. “Post divorce issues often come up,” Bell Jenkins says. These are all matters that Bell Jenkins, who has offices in both West Knoxville and Powell and has been licensed to practice law since 1995, deals with daily. She says family law deals with personal issues over which people usually become extremely emotional. “In our practice we know that it is extremely important to really listen to our clients. “For each client in our office, their case is the most important one in the world. We know this, and we pride ourselves on listening carefully and also on making certain that they understand every aspect of their case and how it will be handled. “This is the most productive way to have the desired legal outcome.”

Have estate planning documents ready Bell Jenkins also represents clients in other matters that can impact the entire family, such as personal injury cases and even criminal misdemeanors when family members make bad choices. Another vital part of

Attorney Rebecca Bell Jenkins

the practice of family law is estate planning, which involves three critical documents: ■ A will, which everyone 18 years or older who has assets and/or children should have; ■ A Power of Attorney document, which specifies who can make decisions for you on health care and/or financial matters if you become incapacitated; and ■ A Living Will, which states whether heroic measures should be taken to save your life in certain life-threatening situations and also communicates whether you wish to be an organ donor. Bell Jenkins reminds us that, “It is critically important that we all have in place our will and power of attorney. “We never know when these documents will be needed, so it is incumbent upon us all to have them ready.” While the reasons for

a will seem obvious, Bell Jenkins says having the document can serve to prevent family squabbles and also avert the unnecessary expenditures required if the courts are asked to make final a determination on the division of property. “A power of attorney is also a necessary and invaluable tool in the event an individual becomes mentally incapacitated and unable to handle their own affairs,” she says. “If you become mentally incompetent without a power of attorney document in place, no one can legally act in your behalf in financial, business and health-related matters. Your loved ones will have to file a petition for conservatorship with the court in order to handle your affairs or to make heath care decisions for you. “Again, it is critical to have this document in place, because once a person becomes incompetent,

Rebecca Bell Jenkins, Attorney at Law Suite 202 in Franklin Square 9724 Kingston Pike

691-2211 534 W. Emory Road, Powell by appointment only

it is too late to appoint a power of attorney; the court will not approve it, so don’t wait too long. “A conservatorship is time-consuming and expensive as it moves through the courts. It is much easier to see an attorney now and have these two critical documents drawn up than to have your loved ones deal with the court system. The two documents no one should be without are a will and a power of attorney. Bell Jenkins states that if a person wants to have a power of attorney in place, but currently is still able to handle his/her own affairs, then the power of attorney can be written to go into effect only when the person becomes incompetent. The power of attorney can provide that the person’s competency can be determined by his/ her treating physician.

Rule 31 mediator Bell Jenkins is also a Rule 31 Listed Family Law Mediator. In many situations this allows her to serve as an independent third party in discussions between the two parties and their attorneys as they attempt to work out their differences without going to court. This form of mediation allows the two sides of an issue to reach an agreement without the time and legal expense involved in going to court, and without the possibility of having a judge issue a ruling that suits neither party. The law offices of Rebecca Bell Jenkins are available to serve your family’s legal needs, including adoption and personal injury cases. Please call the central telephone number – 6912211 – which serves both the West Knoxville office and the Powell office.

Road to Rio paved with gold for KARM By Nancy Anderson It was a gold-medal-winning event at the Farragut West Knox Chamber’s 29th annual Silent and Live Auction as nearly 250 people dressed to impress turned up to bid on more than 150 silent auction items from hot air balloon rides, to wine baskets, to jewelry and everything in between. This year’s theme, “Road to Rio,� gave a nod to the upcoming 2016 Olympics as the live auction gave way to spirited bidding for elaborately decorated tabletops filled with treasures from business such as Elliots Boots and Chick-fil-A. “I’m so happy with the

turnout. Everyone is having a great time and we’ve got some wonderful auction items, as we always do. Everyone says if you’re looking to give back to the community and you like auctions, this is the best event of the year,� said Chamber president Bettye Sisco. This year’s charity partner was Knox Area Rescue Ministries, which was awarded $2,000. The remainder of event proceeds will fund the Chamber’s continuing education grants, which are awarded to chamber members in good standing to help offset tuition and/or training costs.

FARRAGUT CHAMBER EVENTS

Last week we ranted about House Speaker Beth Harwell’s apparent lack of courage in not moving to expel Jeremy Durham from the House and not bringing Insure TN for a vote. In fairness, let’s look at the flip side. Harwell (as has Gov. Bill Haslam) has called for Durham’s resignation. She’s moved his office away from legislative staff and forced his resignation from the House Republican Caucus. The voters in his district should polish him off this summer. The new Health Care Task Force will report back in June with a rebranded proposal. No more Medicaid expansion; no more Insure TN; no more Obamacare. Harwell will own this one and Senate Speaker Ron Ramsey will be gone when it’s brought to the Legislature in 2017. Harwell needs to show leadership, but she also needs to succeed. Since she never brought a House vote on Insure TN, all members can run for re-election without facing voter reaction to the state’s failure to draw down federal dollars to provide health care to an estimated 280,000 uninsured Tennesseans. Harwell talks about a big tent, but she’s actually provided a big skirt for House members to hide behind. Democratic Sen. Craig Fitzhugh said the Senate committee that killed Insure TN “let seven people decide for 6.5 million people that 300,000 people wouldn’t receive health insurance. That’s not the way it’s supposed to work. I don’t care who’s running the railroad.â€? Now Republicans are using phrases like Rep. Harry Brooks in his wrapup newsletter: options ‌ pilot programs ‌ staggered implementation ‌ individual responsibility for healthy choices ‌ circuit breakers to limit the state’s exposure on costs ‌ individual health savings accounts. Add some verbs and you’ve got the report. The task force met this week. Rep. Roger Kane from Knox County is one of its four members, all Republicans. Here’s hoping the task force devises a passable plan and the voters toss Durham. Then Harwell can serve me a plate of crow that I’ll eat with ketchup.

Urban Wilderness brings economic impact By Betsy Pickle

Carol Evans said it best, recalling a quote she heard at a conference in Chicago: “We build parks for people here; if they like them, others will come.� And when others come, they spend money. The potential economic impact of Knoxville’s Urban Wilderness is huge. At last week’s Celebrate the Urban Wilderness event at Ijams Nature Center, Dr. Charles Sims estimated annual spending of $8.3 million if the UW is a local attraction, $14.6 million if marketed regionally, and $29 million if promoted nationally. Sims, a Faculty Fellow at the Howard H. Baker Jr. Center for Public Policy and an assistant professor in

economics at the University of Tennessee, based his projection on the research he did with two graduate students on the potential economic impact of the Urban Wilderness. No official studies have been made on usage of the Urban Wilderness itself and what local and non-local users are spending in South Knoxville and across the city. So to analyze the potential, Sims and his assistants used data on existing trail systems in other parts of the country. They came up with projections based on whether the UW was primarily a local, regional or national destination. What made the UW stand out compared with trails in such places as the

Research Triangle area in North Carolina, the Virginia Creeper trail in Virginia and the Slickrock Trail in Utah is that it is much closer to restaurants and lodging and to a downtown commercial area. And though there are acclaimed urban trails in Richmond, Manhattan, Minneapolis and Seattle, the UW has 42 miles (and growing) of trails, more than twice the number of the other four trails combined. Sims pointed out that the research focused on bicycle usage, and the Urban Wilderness also draws joggers, hikers and walkers. Estimating the direct, indirect and multiplier effects, the UW could reach close to $52 million in economic impact on Knox, Anderson and

Two business groups – the South Knoxville Neighborhood & Business Coalition and the South Knoxville Alliance – sponsored last week’s celebration.

Freshen your home with Kitchen Tune-Up By Sandra Clark A young Rocky Hill couple have launched a new business that will change their lives. Their gamble, as for any entrepreneur, is in what way? Ryan and Michelle Thompson agree that the birth of their baby 15 months ago triggered the decision to go into business for themselves. They’ve been together since meeting as students at UT in 2001. Ryan had worked for the UT Athletic Department in fundraising, while Michelle worked in staffing and recruiting for Robert Half. Ryan said his job required a lot of evenings and weekends. “Our priorities changed and we wanted more of a work-life balance and time with family.“I’m willing to take a risk now and I might not be later. We’ve always wanted to own a business, to be our own boss. It’s hard work at first, but eventually we’ll have a more flexible schedule.� Michelle sees it as a natural progression: “We both love helping people and have both been in sales and marketing.� Kitchen Tune-Up is a franchise that specializes in affordable kitchen (and bathroom) improvements. The Tune-Up itself is a wood reconditioning process. “We start by separating, then removing, the buildup (dirt, grease, wax, smoke and dust) from the wood’s original finish. Then we touch up and blend the areas where color may have faded and apply a special colorant. Finally, we can

That’s the promise, and Ryan Thompson says he can work with any budget. “To know you can have this done in a short time with no disruptions, that’s our plan,� says Michelle. “We can do something for anyone. Every kitchen is different. If you like your layout, we can update it. If you want changes, we have designers available to work with you.� It’s hard to beat the enthusiasm of Ryan and Michelle Thompson. You can reach them at 865-2537805 or rmthompson@ kitchentuneup.com

‘Big Game Show Night’ The Rotary Club of Bearden is bringing “The Big Game Show Nightâ€? to Knoxville – an evening for companies to recognize and celebrate their employees as they enjoy a gourmet meal, raffle prizes and being contestants and audience members as the various game shows are played. The event is 6:30 p.m. Friday, May 20, at Bearden Banquet Hall. The club is selling tables for 10 at $1,300 per table, and only 26 tables are available. The club already has sold a number of tables. “It’s limited seating, and if a company is interested in doing it then they need to go ahead and do it now,â€? says Bearden Rotarian Richard Bettis, the event’s cochair (along with Dick Hinton). If your company wants to buy a table or you need more information, call Bettis at 865-228-1523. “My church (Northstar Church) did this and it was a great evening of fun, and everybody loved it and had a great time,â€? Bettis said. “We’ll be selling raffle tickets during the evening, and we already have a full set of tires from Fisher Tire as one big prize.â€? Led by “The Big Game Showâ€? company from Atlanta, it will be fast-paced and high-energy, with lots of audience participation and prizes, he added. The club’s goal is to raise $20,000 to support a variety of local and international projects – including Flu Shot Saturday, Mobile Meals, the Dictionary Project for all Knox County third-grade students, the Pond Gap Elementary School playground project, the Heart to Heart project in Mexico, Polio Plus and more. â–

Rotarians from 65 clubs in the East Tennessee district will be attending. â–

Jarret is PE of Breakfast Rotary

Former Knox County Law Director Joe Jarret has been elected president-elect of the Knoxville Breakfast Rotary Club.

Tom King is a retired newspaper editor, a Rotarian for 28 years and past president of the Rotary Club of Farragut.

Ryan and Michelle Thompson are local owners of Kitchen Tune-Up. treat your cabinets with a special penetrating oil that restores dried-out wood fibers and/or apply an entirely fresh coat of finish. We’ll have your wood looking like new in no time,� according to the website. The process is usually completed in one day and can be used on windowsills, mantelpieces and even on antique wood. Reconditioning is a lowcost alternative to replacing cabinets, although the Thompsons can do that as

well. Services range from the Tune-Up to refacing, redooring or replacement custom cabinets. “At Kitchen Tune-Up, we believe that you don’t have to spend a fortune or be displaced from your home for weeks to get the space you’ve always wanted. We offer four service options at different price points, and many projects can be complete in only one to five days. We have fast and affordable options to get a fresh new look for your kitchen, bath or business.�

Traveling theater troupe entertains in Farragut By Carolyn Evans David Ostergaard is an Emmy-winning actor whose work has been seen at Cannes Film Festival. And in the last three weeks, the kids of Farragut have had the opportunity to see three of his theater productions. Thanks to the town of

Farragut, the community has been treated to three plays: two at the Farragut Book Fest for Children on April 9 and the third at the Farragut Museum April 24. “They were a huge hit at the book fest,� says Chelsey Riemann, for the town of Farragut. As a matter of

fact, they were such a hit that the town has wasted no time – Bright Star, one of the largest professional touring theatre companies in the country, is already scheduled for next year’s book fest. In “Upcycled Cinderella,� two actors donned recycled

I felt like a Renaissance actor, walking around the fair in my long dress and hat, talking to the kids. The audience was very involved and appreciative. It felt like a success!� Next they performed “The Reluctant Dragon,� the story of a misunderstood dragon who terrorizes the townspeople.

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

Net results

Hip replacement gets tennis player back into the game He discovered tennis in its golden years, back when Ilie Nastase, Vitas Gerulaitis and Bjorn Borg ruled the men’s courts. But almost four decades later, Kevin Simpson’s game was suffering. “For the longest time I thought that I must have a groin pull because every time I would go out and play tennis it would hurt,â€? he said. “I went a whole year with it, and then during the second year I thought, ‘I need to have this checked. Something’s not right.’ â€? Indeed, something was NOT right. A chiropractor’s X-ray showed his right hip was bone-on-bone, and Dr. Paul Yau, an orthopedic surgeon at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center conďŹ rmed it. “Kevin had end stage, bone-on-bone arthritis, a signiďŹ cant limp, pain when he stood and was particularly in pain getting up from a chair, in and out of bed, and in and out of his car,â€? said Dr. Yau. “His hip was also very stiff. He could not cross his legs, and even had problems tying the laces on his shoes. He wanted to be active again. Play tennis. He wasn’t ready to call it quits just yet. Life was too short to sit it out.â€? That is exactly why Simpson sought out Dr. Yau in the ďŹ rst place. Knowing other tennis friends who had undergone traditional hip replacement surgery with its lengthy recovery period, Simpson had heard there was a better way, a method that Dr. Yau uses for almost every hip replacement. Called “Direct Anterior Hip Replacement,â€? it’s a procedure in which the surgeon goes through the front (anterior) portion of the hip instead of the side or the back. This allows the surgeon to push aside important muscles and tendons rather than cutting through them to position a new hip joint implant. “My patients who have had one hip done

After hearing about Dr. Yau’s experience with the surgery, he made an appointment and was quickly impressed by the affable surgeon. “He stayed there and answered every question I had,� said Simpson. “He gave me all the time I needed. One of the nurses told me that he would stay with you all day if you needed him too. I told him what my goals were – I’ve been a runner all my life and wanted to get back to running and I want to get back on the tennis court. And he said, ‘I don’t see any problem with that.’ � On Sept. 28, 2015, two days before Simpson’s 59th birthday, he was being prepped for his surgery at FSRMC. “Right before the surgery, Dr. Yau came in and I told him, ‘I want to be the ‘Six Million Dollar Man.’ He said, ‘Well, how about a Million Dollar man?’ He had such a wonderful personality.� A short time later, Simpson emerged from the recovery room a new man with a new hip and “feeling great.� That same day Dr. Yau sent him home to begin his recovery. “The next day, the pain medicine was Kevin Simpson was able to return to the tenwearing off and I could feel some soreness nis court not long after hip replacement surand tightness there but nothing major,� said gery by Dr. Paul Yau at Fort Sanders Regional Simpson, who was off his crutches by his Medical Center. “The guy that was beating me second follow-up appointment. like a drum when my hip was messed up, it By Thanksgiving, Simpson was back on wasn’t even close.

‘Giant leap’ in hip replacement surgery Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center is among only 15 percent of U.S. hospitals with the staff and facilities available to perform the latest approach in hip replacement surgery, called “Direct Anterior Hip Replacement.â€? In this procedure, the surgeon goes through the front (anterior) portion of the hip, instead of the side or back. This allows the surgery to be performed in between muscles and tendons instead of cutting through them to position a new hip joint implant. “When I ďŹ rst started doing hip replacement surgery this way, I thought it was just another option to access the joint, but people have done amazingly well with this approach,â€? said Dr. Paul Yau, an orthopedic surDr. Paul Yau geon with Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center. “With traditional hip replacements, we have to cut muscles or tendons, which prolongs the recovery process and may require limitations on hip motion,â€? said Yau. “It is common to hear patients being told not to bend at the hip more than 90 degrees, squat, reach to the oor or cross your legs after hip replacement because it would risk a dislocation.

“With the anterior approach, none of “It does require special facilities and a these typical ligaments are cut, which means specifically trained staff, which we have all of these common activities are safe, im- at Fort Sanders.

Hometown Hero

Loudon woman credits Parkwest doctor for second chance It was the best of times and the worst of times. Yet this is no Dickensian tale of two cities, but a story of two people from the same small town. “We Loudon folks have to take care of each other,” Dr. Ayaz Rahman, an interventional cardiologist at Parkwest Medical Center, said as he sat at a conference room table across from 67-year-old Mary Linhart. The two officially met last summer when Linhart, a Loudon resident who had just seen her hopes for a liver transplant dashed, was referred to Dr. Rahman by his colleague, Dr. Stephen Marietta. “The first time he came into the room and I heard him talking, I thought, ‘This has to be Dr. Rahman’s son!’ So, it was like a bonding,” said Linhart with a laugh. “Loudon is a small town, and everybody knows just about everybody. I remembered him running around Loudon when he was a child.” The son of Dr. Mohammad Rahman who practices internal medicine in Loudon, Dr. Ayaz Rahman is an Emory University-trained interventional cardiologist whose niche specialty is structural heart and valve disease – just the kind of help Linhart needed to get her heart healthy enough to regain her eligibility for a liver transplant. Born with rheumatic fever and cirrhosis inherited from her father, Linhart was on the waiting list for a new liver, but when doctors at the transplant center discovered her failing heart valves, she was removed from the list. “When you are being evaluated for any type of organ transplant, you have to make sure that the other organs are functioning well to support that new organ,” said Dr. Rahman. “She was found to have a severe narrowing of her aortic valve and severe to moderate narrowing of her mitral valve, but because of her cirrhosis – and appropriately so – she was deemed to be at high risk for open-heart surgery, particularly because it’s a big surgery where you are not only fi xing one but two valves.” In particular, Dr. Rahman was concerned about Linhart’s cryptogenic cirrhosis which causes watery thin blood and heavy bleeding, ruling out any possibility of open-heart surgery to replace her aortic valve. He would have to

find another route to fi x the aortic valve first, and follow up with a second surgery, a valvuloplasty, to repair the mitral valve. “We knew we had to fix her valves with a transcatheter option,” said Dr. Rahman. “Anything that we could do with a minimally invasive approach was our best option.” That meant Linhart would be undergoing a transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), a procedure in which surgeons direct a tiny tube or catheter through an artery in the patient’s groin to the aorta where they then deploy an artificial valve. The only incision is the small cut in the femoral artery, keeping blood loss at a minimum. Approved by the FDA in 2012, Parkwest became the first hospital in East Tennessee to perform TAVR surgery. Since the first procedure in June 2012, Parkwest’s TAVR team has flourished. After performing 30 TAVRs that first year, the TAVR team did 59 in 2013, 63 in 2014, and almost 100 last year, bringing its total to 253 by the end of 2015. Among those 253 was Mary

Linhart, who underwent TAVR on June 30. Hers was a “minimalist approach,” meaning she was under “conscious sedation” without general anesthesia. Linhart, however, didn’t know a thing – except that she felt better afterwards. “She was a lot better, but still not 100 percent because we knew we still needed to treat an additional valve,” said Dr. Rahman. The valve left behind was the mitral valve, which had become calcified and narrowed by rheumatic heart disease. But on Oct. 27, Dr. Rahman tackled that valve by performing a valvuloplasty in which he inserted a small, balloon-tipped catheter through the vein, guided it through the right side of her heart to the mitral valve on the left side and inflated the balloon to allow more blood to flow through the valve. “Both of her valve problems were taken care of by methods similar to a heart catheterization – through the groin without having to do open heart surgery and she did very well,” said Dr. Rahman. “Really, this technology was made for someone like Mrs. Lin-

The right ‘mix’ of expertise Multi-disciplinary approach benefits TAVR patients There’s an old saying: “Too many cooks spoil the broth.” But that is definitely not the case when a patient’s treatment plan calls for TAVR, or Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement. With TAVR, the patient benefits from the expertise of a multidisciplinary team of healthcare professionals, all of whom play essential roles. The first TAVR was performed

at Parkwest in June 2012. The procedure gives new hope to patients who suffer from a progressive life-threatening condition called aortic stenosis, but who are not candidates for traditional open heart surgery. As of the end of 2015, more than 253 patients have received this life-saving procedure at Parkwest. TAVR is a minimally invasive procedure that involves placing a

catheter into the femoral artery or through a small incision between the ribs and deploying a collapsible prosthetic aortic valve into a beating heart. At Parkwest, the multidisciplinary TAVR team includes physicians specializing in cardiovascular and thoracic surgery, interventional cardiology and cardiac anesthesiology, along with nurses and technicians with specialized training.

“I told my husband, Lew, ‘Don’t take this the wrong way, but I love that man!’” she said of Dr. Rahman. “He makes me laugh, he’s always smiling, and he’s all the time upbeat. He’s a wonderful physician. I have recommended him to many people.” In turn, Dr. Rahman shares credit with scores of others, from his own front office personnel to valve coordinator Sonya Brown, and from cardiac nurses to Parkwest CAO Rick Lassiter and the entire Covenant Health System. “It really takes the backing of the health system, Covenant Health, and the support of the administration,” said Dr. Rahman. “I wouldn’t trade our structural heart team for anything. Our motto is similar to NASA’s, which is ‘failure is not an option.’ We see many patients like Mrs. Linhart where minimally invasive procedures are a bridge to something else. And for others, it’s their only procedure. However, the entire team’s thoughts and prayers are still with Mrs. Linhart and we are very eager to get the phone call that her liver is ready.” hart who needed a viable alterna“Oh, I’ll be calling you!” Mary tive to open heart surgery given Linhart said as tears filled her her high-risk status.” eyes. “I know that it takes the Soon after her second surgery, nurses, the surgeons – people that Linhart visited the transplant cen- God puts in place to do what needs ter again.

The team also includes a nurse navigator who provides education, a plan of care, emotional support and guidance through the TAVR experience. A patient is referred to one of the interventional cardiologists or CV surgeons who perform TAVR by his or her own cardiologist or primary care physician. The patient first undergoes a “work-up” that includes extensive outpatient tests, and the results are presented at a weekly TAVR conference. Even the operating room used for TAVR procedures at Parkwest is multidisciplinary in design. A unique surgical room, known as
