‘Friends of Beauford Delaney’ founder to speak at Museum Dr. Monique Y. Wells, founder and director of the organization dedicated to preserving Knoxville-born Beauford Delaney’s artistic legacy in Paris, will speak at the Knoxville Museum of Art 5:30-7:30 p.m. Thursday Oct. 20, followed by a reception with cash bar. The program, jointly sponsored by the Beck Cultural Exchange Center, the East Tennessee History Center, the Knoxville Museum of Art, and the Knoxville chapter of The Links Inc., is free and open to the public. A 23-year resident of Paris, Wells is co-author of “Paris Reflections: Walks through Af-

rican-American Paris� and author of “Black Paris Profiles,� which features the stories of 24 contemporary African-American and Afro-Caribbean expatriates. Well’s freelance writing led her to uncover the story of Beauford Delaney’s unmarked Paris burial place. She subsequently founded Les Amis de Beauford Delaney (Friends of Beauford Delaney) as a French non-profit association. In her endeavor to raise funds to place a tombstone at Beauford’s previously unmarked grave, she became increasingly pas-

sionate about this artist’s story and about his art. She recently organized the first-ever exhibition of Beauford’s paintings from Paris private collections. Beauford Delaney lived his final decades abroad in Paris and died there in 1979, but maintained close ties to Knoxville and family here throughout his life. His brother Joseph, also a distinguished artist, is perhaps better known locally than Beauford because Joseph eventually returned to his hometown, where he died in 1991. To page A-3

Thomas flips out over Rountree resolution By Betty Bean On Monday, the school board considered a resolution opposing the use of state testing data to determine teacher evaluations and student grades. The vote will come today (Oct. 5). Sponsored by Amber Rountree, the measure drew a harsh rebuke from interim superintendent Buzz Thomas. Rountree said she is perplexed by his reaction. “I proposed a very similar resolution last year – some of the language is verbatim, and the board passed it 7-2 or 8-1. This was during the state testing debacle, and we were asking that the data not be used, so I guess Buzz’s tone was a little surprising,� Rountree said. The “debacle� she mentioned was the confusion and delay caused by the state’s inability to process the numbers in time for local school districts to issue grades and evaluations. “I try to conduct myself, at meetings and in public, by the adage of speaking truth and love. I hope we can disagree and still have a collegial discourse about it.�

Thomas sent a letter to board members labeling Rountree’s resolution “ill-advised� and predicting that it would damage relationships with state and local elected officials, particularly Education Commissioner Candice McQueen, whom he said is entitled to “the benefit of the doubt.� He praised Questar, the state’s new testing provider, which worked with the state last year to create an “optional� assessment for secondgraders, and put Rountree’s motives on blast: “In conclusion, the proposed resolution does not sound like a school district that is aspiring to be the best in the south or even in the state. It sounds like we are making excuses. We need a good standardized test each year to tell us how we are doing compared to others across the state and the nation,� Thomas said. New board member Tony Norman said he agrees with Rountree about testing policy but thinks the resolution may be premature. “I think the evaluation system is completely jacked up, and ultimately, her endgame is to

I agree with her, but I’m not sure this is the way to go about it.� Norman expressed some surprise at the tone of Thomas’ letter – “He really cut Amber’s legs off� – and observed that the unity between new board members (who supported Mike McMillan for board chair in August) and incumbents who voted for Terry Hill is in disarray: “The coalition is fragmented at the moment. We haven’t even got to square one – we don’t have a chair yet,� he said, referring to last month’s deadlocked vote between McMillan and Hill (board member Patti Bounds was absent). McMillan has since removed his name from consideration, and the board will vote again this week. “Let’s get first things first.

Parkridge Neighborhood to offer peeks inside historic homes Photographer Kelli Olsson, who moved to Knoxville from Athens, Ga. when her husband Tore received an appointment as professor of history at UT, says of her 1889 home in the Parkridge neighborhood, “We were absolutely blown away by what we were able to get for the money.� The couple, who welcomed daughter Juniper 19 months ago, admits

Carol Z. Shane

that the big Victorian with all the trimmings wasn’t what they originally had in mind. “When my husband walked in the door for the

first time, he said, ‘Nope,’� says Olsson. But since they both love biking to work and shops, they were sold on the up-and-coming intown Parkridge neighborhood, and the house grew on them. Now they are very much at home there. The home will be one of about 30 open to the public on October 8. Present-day Parkridge encompasses the early Edge-

wood subdivision, which contains many houses designed by Knoxville’s famous 19th-to-early-20th-century Victorian house architect George F. Barber. This tour features a variety of homes with a focus on Barberdesigned houses as part of Knoxville’s 225th birthday bash. Craftsman-style homes are also included. Jennifer Montgomery, co-owner of Trotta-Montgomery Real Estate, bought her 1923 Craftsman bungalow 15 years ago. “Things had evolved downtown and there was a lot more activity.� With her Realtor’s eye, she knew an up-and-coming neighborhood when she

saw one. Both the Olssons’ and Montgomery’s houses have been on the home tour before. “The first time, I didn’t have ceilings!� Montgomery laughs. The Historic Parkridge Neighborhood Home Tour runs from 1 to 6 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 8. Tickets are $10 per person in advance and $12 on the day of the event. Children under 12 are admitted for free. Park-

ing is available at the Ashley Nicole Park, 620 Winona Street, and tickets may be purchased there until 4 p.m. the day of the tour. Advance tickets may be purchased at Last Days of Autumn Brewery, Three Rivers Market or online at www.parkridgecommunity.wordpress.com. Bicyclers as well as walkers are welcome on the tour.

Greek Fest shines

Beauford Delaney

By Carol Z. Shane

Much to the delight of all who attended, St. George Greek Orthodox Church’s Greek Fest was, as it is every year, a big, exuberant success. Known far and wide for its outstanding food, music, dance and marketplace, the three-day outdoor party is one of Knoxville’s most popular annual events. Huge crowds came out to enjoy the gorgeous weather, clap along with traditional Greek dancers and stuff themselves with dolmades, spanakopita, gyros, strong coffee drinks and a plethora of pastries. A church tour was also offered. Icons that survived the fire of April 2015 were on display, and the mood was hushed and reverent. Also included were pictures of the devastation and the rebuilding, which is still ongoing. Everyone loves Greek Fest. If you missed it this year, plan on it for the next!

Natalie Renzulli, Amelia Konomos, Sophia Clark, Katie Dixon and Olivia Brown are all dressed up and ready to dance.

The evolving Beauford Delaney Project calls for placing historical markers to designate the bi r t hpl ac e of Beauford and his brother Joseph and Wells other sites associated with their early training; to bring an exhibition of Beauford’s work from Paris to Knoxville; to conserve and exhibit recently acquired works by Beauford at the KMA; to create a curriculum unit about Beauford and Joseph Delaney and their importance; and to explore the restoration and possible adaptive reuse of the Delaney family home, recently purchased by the Beck Cultural Exchange

Ellen Kleto, Kristiana Moore, Marah Smith and Kathleen Vavalides are all smiles as they attend customers at the frappé booth, one of Greek Fest’s most popular attractions.

From page A-1 buildings to “talk to each other,” he says. The new master plan calls for Presidential Court residence halls to be demolished, along with the concrete plaza, and rebuilt, using the new design standards. A new dining hall will be three times larger and offer retail space and meeting rooms − a sort of satellite student union. Melrose Avenue will be extended as a pedestrian avenue. While buildings will become more traditional on the outside, interior space will be thoroughly modern. New classrooms will allow for interactive, collaborative teaching that utilizes screens around the room, and academic buildings will have spaces that are open 24 hours a day. A campus is more than buildings, Irvin says, so special attention will be paid to landscaping. A three-year streetscape project on Volunteer Boulevard will take away parking, but add trees, for a more attractive thoroughfare. A new garage on Lake Avenue will accommodate over 1,100 cars. Tennis, rowing, golf, and track facilities are being improved, and a major renovation of Thompson-Boling Arena is in the second of four phases. Changes will include expanded restrooms and locker rooms and a larger Vol Shop. Removal of residence halls and additional prestige seating are planned for Neyland Stadium. Funding for renovations comes from the state, alumni support, facilities fees paid by students, long-term bonds and federal grants. Alumni have been incredibly generous, Irvin says. “This is a place that makes things happen − all at once.”

Chris Paris grabs a quick bite to eat. He’s been helping at the saganaki (fried cheese) booth all day. “I keep them all stocked up so they don’t run out,” he says.

The price tag for current construction projects is over $1 billion. Five years ago, the master plan, which was primarily a land use plan, hadn’t been examined Dave Irvin in a long time. Now, the plan details not just a series of buildings, but what’s happening between the buildings, he says. The challenge of the expansion is using UT’s 560 acres efficiently and preserving green space. That calls for some departments, like the Facilities Services Complex, to move off campus, and for new academic buildings to expand upward. The first phase of the new student union is open, and groups from across the country have visited to borrow ideas from the project. The second phase, which is three times the size of the first, is scheduled to open in the fall of 2018. “It will give us that living room we’ve never really had.” At a cost of $180 million, it was the most expensive project − until redevelopment of west campus began. The $260 million rehab of Presidential Court is the largest in state history. Irvin calls the Hill, punctuated by Ayres Hall, one of the most beautiful, iconic places in the country. While the campus has other great buildings, many are not “UT buildings,” he says. New design standards call for new construction to use traditional brick and limestone and “Tennessee Gothic” architecture. This allows the

Center. Beck president Reneé Kesler said, “Beauford Delaney is by far the most important artist Knoxville produced in the twentieth century, at least in terms of national and international reputation. He was friends with and beloved by the most respected cultural and intellectual figures of his age. He was a close friend and mentor to novelist, playwright, and social critic James Baldwin. Georgia O’Keeffe, who rarely did portraits, painted Beauford’s. He was the subject of an affectionate essay by great American writer Henry Miller. Yet many people in Knoxville are not familiar with this native son and his distinguished legacy. We hope the Beauford Delaney Project will change that.”

government It’s time to decriminalize marijuana Last month, Nashville approved an ordinance to decriminalize small amounts of marijuana. Nashville police now have the option of issuing a civil citation for marijuana possession instead of a criminal one. Did Nashville make marijuana legal? No. Decriminalization is not legalization. Complete legalization would mean that a person could sit in their home and legally smoke marijuana. With decriminalization, those walking down the street with a marijuana joint in their pocket would still be breaking the law but could be issued a civil citation by police (something similar to a parking ticket) instead of a criminal citation. It’s a small step, but a good one. Here’s why. Under current law, possessing even a small amount of marijuana is punishable by up to 11 months and 29 days in the county jail and a $2,500 fine. Criminal convictions have wide-ranging negative consequences. In addition to possible jail time, a criminal conviction often impacts employment and educational opportunities. It’s tough enough to find a good job in today’s economy. It’s even more difficult when you have a criminal record. Thanks to the internet, arrest records and mug shots linger on forever. Smoking a joint at a party or concert can haunt someone well into their future. Decriminalization is not a perfect solution. In fact, it probably doesn’t go far enough. Until we treat drug use as a public health problem instead of a criminal justice problem, too many lives will be shadowed by criminal convictions. Also, the discretion given to the police creates its own problems. Giving an officer discretion to issue either

Scott Frith

a civil or criminal citation can result in disparate outcomes for low-income and minority residents accused of a crime. Ultimately, our laws should reflect our values. If it’s OK for a kid to smoke weed in college, then it should be legal. If it’s OK for someone to smoke marijuana in the privacy of their own home, then it should be legal. Legalization, with regulations similar to tobacco or alcohol, would likely result in better overall outcomes than current laws. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t believe that smoking marijuana is a good thing. I’m not a doctor. I’m the least qualified to discuss the pros and cons of marijuana versus tobacco or any other substance. However, the decriminalization of marijuana is a much-needed first step in accepting shifting social norms. Nearly 50 years after Woodstock, and as baby boomers enter retirement, it’s time for our laws to reflect that reality. Nashville Mayor Megan Barry, after the decriminalization bill passed the Metro Council, released a statement: “This legislation is a positive step forward in addressing the overly punitive treatment of marijuana possession in our state that disproportionately impacts low-income and minority residents.” Mayor Barry is right. Nashville is showing leadership. It’s time for Mayor Madeline Rogero and Knoxville City Council to show leadership as well. Scott Frith is a local attorney.

Smith again claims education as campaign battleground Eddie Smith’s first campaign mail piece, a sunny, positive, oversized postcard praising the 13th District state representative for working hard to develop higher educational standards, hit two weeks ago. The next one came a week later and featured a group of happy kids studying a globe. A full-color shot of a smiling Smith appeared on the back, positioned next to a paragraph describing him as a torchbearer for better education. The bottom half of the card was the color of the Vols’ smokygray football jerseys with a black-and-white picture of an angry, open-mouthed Gloria Johnson looking for a child to devour. The scary gray part said Johnson – a Democrat and a retired special-education teacher who served a single term before Republican Smith unseated her in 2014 – opposes putting money into education, wants to trap kids in bad schools, would like for the feds to come in and take over and

Betty Bean doesn’t much care if kids get to go to college (all the better to eat them, probably). Both cards are paid for by Tennesseans for Student Success, an AstroTurf group that supports high-stakes, standardized testing closely connected to Gov. Bill Haslam. Two years ago, Smith won by 182 votes and was the beneficiary of an avalanche of negative advertising funded by “outside” corporate education reform groups, the most memorable of which was paid for by the pro-voucher Tennessee Federation for Children and compared Johnson to Lane Kiffin. Following the directive of GOP operative Karl Rove, Smith successfully attacked Johnson’s strength – education. He’s staking out the same ground this year.

In addition to the PACsupplied mail pieces (which by federal law cannot coordinate with his Johnson campaign), Smith sponsored a teacher roundtable at Fulton High School with state Education Commissioner Candice McQueen and a representative of Questar, the state’s new provider of standardized tests (the old provider got sacked when it couldn’t process end-of-term standardized tests in time for the results to be used in calculating student grades). Smith barred school board members and the media from the meeting because he didn’t want teachers to feel intimidated but invited several administrators to sit in, including Assistant Superintendent Elizabeth Alves. It is a policy violation to allow campaign events in Knox County Schools,

but Smith billed this as an opp or t u n it y for teachers to learn more about the state’s new standardized Smith tests. Johnson succeeded Democratic incumbent Harry Tindell, who represented the 13th for 22 years and chose to retire rather than slug it out after the new Republican super majority redrew district lines and threw Sequoyah Hills and a big chunk of Republicandominated South Knoxville into the mix. Smith, a promoter of church music, made Johnson – who has since retired from teaching – a one-termer. She still enjoys the active support of many former colleagues and students who want to send her back to Nashville. In the words of the prophet Yogi Berra, it’s déjà vu all over again.

Off to Georgia (not the Bulldogs) This week I am in Tbilisi, Georgia, as an election observer for their parliamentary elections. The trip is sponsored by the International Republican Institute, a private, nonprofit group. IRI promotes democratic procedures, fair elections and participatory democracy as does its counterpart, which is the National Democratic Institute. Neither is part of the partisan RNC or DNC. Georgia was part of the former Soviet Union and is where Joseph Stalin was born. It has been an independent nation for 25 years with varying degrees of success. I was present four years ago in Georgia, also as an election observer for IRI, when parliamentary elections were held and resulted in the ruling party being swept out of office. It is our job to observe and report on what we see. If we see inappropriate actions in the conduct of the election we note them and report on them. We do not intervene with the holding of the election itself. Greg Mackay, who now works at Chilhowee Park, was an election observer when he ran the Knox County Election Commission.

tion is coming this weekend and will meet with Mayor Rogero in her office Friday morning at the City County Building. MPC Commissioner Gayle Bustin has assisted ably on behalf of the mayor in arranging a full schedule. Retired University of Tennessee professor Paul Watkins and his wife, Susie, will host a reception for them Friday, Oct. 7. There have also been student exchanges at the high school level where students have stayed in Japanese and American homes. ■ James Knight, another former ambassador, has moved to the Knoxville area. He just retired as ambassador to Chad and previously ambassador to Benin. The Tellico Village resident is a retired infantry officer who was awarded a Bronze Star for his service in Vietnam. He joins four other former ambassadors residing in the area: Cran Montgomery (Oman), Dee Robinson (Ghana), Margaret Scobey (Egypt and Syria) and this writer (Poland). ■ State Rep. Eddie Smith will present a check

for $30,000 for restoration of Talahi Park in Sequoyah Hills at 4 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 12. The money was part of the state budget, which Smith amended to include this funding. Public is invited. The Smith versus Gloria Johnson contest is expected to be one of the closest in the state on Nov. 8. The last two elections (2012 and 2014) in that district were decided by fewer than 200 votes each. ■ U.S. Rep. Chuck Fleischmann turns 54 on Tuesday, Oct. 11. ■ Do not expect quick action on picking a successor to UT athletic director Dave Hart. UT will wait until a new chancellor is selected to replace Jimmy Cheek before a search committee is even named by the new chancellor to choose a new AD. That means January at the earliest. The new chancellor will also be looking for a new communications vice chancellor to replace Margie Nichols as well as a new provost to follow Susan Martin. ■ UT President Joe DiPietro announced recently the four members of a special commission to review Title IX resources and programs for UT. Three of the four live in Massachusetts, Connecticut and the Washington, D.C., area. The one Tennessean is from Franklin. None attended UT and there are no African-Americans on

the group, despite many UT athletes being AfricanAmerican. This is a glaring omission. While the news release did not indicate compensation, an inquiry from this writer produced the response that yes, there is compensation, but UT declined to respond that day as to the exact compensation, which appears to violate the open-records law. UT also declined to say then if the first meeting on Nov. 17 would be open to the public. Two days later, UT acknowledged each is being paid $45,000 plus expenses, and the meetings are closed, which triggered criticism. One wonders if UT is channeling studies like this through its law firm to lock out the public under the guise of attorney-client privilege. Why UT cannot give a direct answer to a direct question when asked is perplexing. It sends the wrong signal for an institution dedicated to education. Media relations on this issue are being handled by the Nashville law firm of Neal and Harwell, which has already been paid over $400,000, and the meter is still running. The total cost of the lawsuit settlement continues to rise with no end in sight. Victor Ashe is a former mayor of Knoxville and U.S. ambassador to Poland. Reach him at vhashe@aol.com

Beck: The place where the community gets connected By Renee Kesler The Beck Cultural Exchange Center is “The Place Where African American History Is Preserved,” and even more it is “The Place Where the Community Gets Connected.” T h e Renee Kessler founders who created Beck in 1975 purposely did not call it the Beck Cultural Exchange Museum, though it is filled with archives, artifacts and exhibits and, indeed, Beck has always been dedicated to the preservation and conservation of history. Yet those great pioneers understood that it had to be more than a museum. After all, Beck was formed as the people’s project, and the people needed a place to gather and exchange with one another. Beck needed to be “The Place Where the Community Gets Connected.” What does it mean to be “The Place Where the Community Gets Connected?” Leaving Beck the other night, I believe I understood the answer to this question. The answer was sitting outside at the tables located in the rotunda area of the Beck, wrapped in coats and jackets in the cool of the fall evening with fingers tapping away on a laptop and a cell phone. While this was not an unusual occurrence, certainly – when I leave in the evenings there is always someone sitting in the rotunda, or on the lighted front porch, where there is always a table and chairs, or cars parked in

HOPE… Is a Powerful thing! It Can Change Lives and Make a Difference. It is the confident expectation of Good. Community members gather at the Beck. the parking lot, using the free wifi – it was the answer to the question. When I first arrived at Beck, the wifi broadband connection to the internet was locked with a passcode required to access. When visitors tried to connect their electronic devices they quickly discovered that they had no access to the internet. Further, while students from the local schools were excited to receive new electronic gadgets and devices that they could take home, the enthusiasm quickly dissipated once internet access was unavailable. Even though students had their own laptops or tablets, they fi led in quickly before the 6 o’clock closing hour to use the free Beck computer lab. Immediately, I contacted our internet service provider, requested an equipment upgrade with highspeed access and optimal range throughout the Beck campus, and, of course, the passcode was removed. The community now had access to free wifi at the Beck. So was that the answer? Is free wifi the true meaning to being “The Place Where

the Community Gets Connected?” I understood it to be more than that. Shortly after arriving at Beck, I met Victor Vlasyuk, and instantly we became friends. Victor lives in the community with his mom, Lyubov; they are from Ukraine. Victor and his mom, along with many others, are frequent guests to the Beck. Perhaps it’s the internet connection that keeps them coming, but I think there is something more to the connection. This summer, through a wonderful program, Victor became a paid Beck intern. It was a great summer, and Victor, who has a very contagious smile and sweet spirit, became a part of the Beck family and a tremendous help to me. Like so many of the young and seasoned people that come to Beck, Victor is connected to us and we are connected to him. And that’s the answer. “The Place Where the Community Gets Connected” truly means people gathering and exchanging with one another, the original intent of the founders of the Beck.

Team of destiny? Probably not

Pittsburgh Pirates 55-27, had a 91-60 edge in hits, batted .338 to .256, slugged six more home runs – and lost. Even then, I knew the inexplicable did not apply to football. Destiny is a quirky thing on gridirons. It often jumps around, depending on crisp blocking and tackling, especially protection for the quarterback, accuracy of his throws and how many linebackers knock the ball loose from runners and receivers. Injuries, penalties and fumbles lost and found can cause destiny to switch sides. “Team of destiny” does have an intriguing connotation. It might seem a logical explanation for success to those who do not understand what goes on behind the scenes – endless recruiting effort, fierce attention to details, year-round devotion to improvement, more strength, more speed, more explosion. Do everything right. Eat right. Even sleep right. And, above all, believe. Starting a day or two after the latest bowl victory, good teams work to win. Tuesday, Oct. 11, at the Civic Coliseum).

They sweat and strain to develop cohesion and confidence. They expect to prevail. Chances are somewhat better when smart coaches are involved. OK, now and then luck is a factor. It had to be luck when Jalen Hurd rescued the Dobbs overtime fumble, the one bouncing around in the end zone that crushed the life out of gutty underdog Appalachian State. That was Sept. 1. Good fortune emerged in the Battle of Bristol. The alarm clock went off. The Vols woke up. It could have been luck that Tennessee receivers miraculously stopped dropping passes in the second half against the Gators. Incidentally, Florida thought that was a fluke. And it said it was handicapped without its No. 1 quarterback. Sorry about that. Oh no, we didn’t call it luck in 1998 when an official dropped a flag for pass interference and gave the Vols one last chance to defeat Syracuse. It wasn’t luck that Florida missed that field goal or that our favorite Razorback, Clint Stoerner, fumbled just in time. That was the Big Orange national championship team. It made its breaks. Well, it might not have directly caused Florida State to get stuck with a sub quarterback. We’ll find out Saturday if this Tennessee team simply refuses to lose. Texas A&M in College Station will be an honest exam. Oh my, as for destiny, after that comes mighty Alabama, much too much. Or maybe not. Marvin West invites reader reaction.

Some of my Baptist friends believe in predestination. If this Tennessee team makes it to 7-0, I may join them. Based on what the Volunteers did to Florida and Georgia, I will concede this group is beginning to feel just a little bit special. Never saw anything like that flipflop finish in Athens. Pity the poor Bulldogs. They went from extreme ecstasy to awful agony in just a few ticks. Corner Malik Foreman, hero a couple of minutes earlier, got beat deep and safety Micah Abernathy was no help. For Tennessee, all was lost. But it wasn’t. Joshua Dobbs did his Doug Flutie impersonation and Jauan Jennings was absolutely certain, beyond any shadow of a doubt, he was going to claim that Hail Mary as his very own. Yes, they practice this play but surely such an ending was once in a lifetime. I sort of expected Butch Jones to come up with a monumental proclamation but he reverted to favorite explanations – fortitude, resiliency, poise, character and just finding a way to win. There had to be something more. I never put much stock in magic or karma or team of destiny until the 1960 World Series. In seven games, the New Yankees outscored the

Daughters of the American Revolution preserving patriotism By Nancy Anderson The newly appointed board of the Andrew Bogle Chapter, National Societ y D au g h t e r s of the A merican Revolution held its first meeting of 2016 Edie Clemons the season at Karns Senior Center last week. Under the direction of new Regent Edie Clemons, the group discussed upcoming programming for the more than 100 members who meet monthly, September through May. Established in 1890, the NSDAR is the oldest women’s organization in the United States. It’s a sisterhood of patriots whose membership can document their lineage back to participants in the Revolutionary War. Membership gathers the second Wednesday of each month for an informative luncheon meeting featuring guest speakers and short historical reports often given by members in costume. The NSDAR sisterhood is a service organization dedicated to promoting and preserving patriotism. Its members can often be found speaking in schools, participating in naturalization ceremonies for new citizens and supporting military veterans in various ways including recording their stories to educate generations to come.

“Interest in the NSDAR is growing because more and more people are exploring their genealogy,” said registrar Jerri McNeany. “Women are finding documentation of their lineage dating back to the American Revolution. “Many people think the NSDAR has age restrictions, but you just have to be over 18. Also, you don’t have to be related to a soldier. Many, many people supported the war effort, and documented lineage to those people qualifies as well. “Digging up that documentation is fascinating and exciting. But it can be pretty daunting, so we help with that. If you’ve heard rumors that you’re related to a patriot, just bring us three generations of documentation. That’s you, your parents and your grandparents. We have resources to help find documentation of your lineage. “We’re growing, but I’d like to see more young people get involved. You don’t have to be a member to attend meetings; you are welcome to attend as our guest. “I can’t speak for everyone, but for me, the NSDAR has been an exciting and life-changing experience. I’m proud and humbled to be a part of it because we’re promoting pride and honor in our country by preserving American history and helping to secure our future through better education.” Info: www.tndar. org/~andrewbogle

Celebrating 55 years of family at West Park Baptist By Nancy Anderson Hundreds of church members and guests gathered on the lawn of West Park Baptist Church, 8833 Middlebrook Pike, to celebrate 55 years of fellowship with a community picnic. Kids were treated to a petting zoo and ice cream as adults beat the heat by gathering under canopies to share picnic fare brought from home. Lisa Newsome conducted silly “MinuteTo-Win-It” races where competitors raced

to see how many tennis balls they could put in a bucket using plastic lips or cotton balls using their noses dipped in honey. Laughter spread through the crowd as Lead Pastor Sam Polson took the stage as the Rev. Sam Jones of Fleece the Flock Ministries, poking fun at stereotypical Southern preachers while also poking fun at himself. The punch line became a running joke throughout the afternoon as families and friends shared laughter, music, food and fun.

South-Doyle: What’s in a name? By Kip Oswald

As I wrote about the history of L&N STEM Academy, I began to wonder about the history of some other school names. Keshawn’s friend Anthony goes to South-Doyle High School, so Kinzy and I researched the history of that name and South-Doyle’s main feeder schools. South-Doyle High School is a combination of several former high schools. Young High School was built in 1913 and named for Dr. J.F. Young. In 1976, Young High joined South High School, which was built in 1951 as one of four schools to split from old Knoxville High School. Then in 1991, South-Young, as it had been renamed, joined with Doyle High School, which was built in 1967 and named for the family of Mildred Doyle, superintendent of Knox County Schools, to create SouthDoyle High School. The official feeder middle school is South-Doyle Middle School, which gains students from several elementary schools, each of which has an interesting history of name origination: Bonny Kate, Dogwood, Gap Creek, Mooreland Heights, Mount Olive, New Hopewell and South Knoxville. For instance, Bonny Kate was the nickname of the wife of John Sevier, first governor of Tennessee. With the school board heading the process, Dog-

wood Elementary – which merged Anderson, Giffin and Flenniken schools in January 1995 – got its name by letting people submit names, narrowing down the selections and allowing those in the schools and community to vote. Gap Creek was the name of the post office in the Kimberlin Heights community of 1859 and the name stuck in the area. Mooreland Heights Elementary was named for a local, William Carrick Moore, an entrepreneur in the wroughtiron industry who had many things named after him. Mount Olive Elementar y School began in Mount Olive Baptist Church in 1837. In 1895, land was given to the school directors to build Mount Olive School, and the school opened afterwards. New Hopewell is listed simply as an unincorporated community in Knox County, and the school is named after the community, as is South Knoxville Elementary named after its location in the city of Knoxville. Next week I will continue the “What’s in a Name?� series. App of the week: Zoombinis: a classic logic puzzler that makes for cognitively powerful playtime for grades 3-8.

Makerspace learning: More than playing games By Ruth White At first glance, students using Makerspace kits at Green Magnet Academy make it look like fun and games. While it is fun, the kits also teach students to think differently, work together and problem solve in their own unique ways. Makerspaces have been described as community centers with tools that make design, engineering, fabrication and education accessible for all students. The kits allow for manufacturing of products designed by the students and encourage teamwork and critical thinking. Green Magnet librarian Tommie Branscum runs the Makerspace lab at the school. Before launching the program, she spoke with teachers to find out what’s going on in the classrooms so that she could integrate their lessons into the lab. Students learn coding to make robots work, create beads from paper, use straws and connectors to create objects and work with circuit boards.

Jarvis Henderson builds a prank handshake device while his teammate Malyshia Dokes creates an alarm with Little Bits kits. Branscum told of two instances when students took on the challenge of out-ofthe-box thinking. One student didn’t have a specific tool to create beads from paper, so he created his own. And two students used straws and connectors to make a couch and television set. “It’s fun to watch them solve problems without re-

ally doing any problem solving,� she said. Makerspace activities give students free license to fail – and to know that it’s okay when things don’t work out perfectly. Students often work with others who they may not know well, thereby strengthening skills in following directions and working together.

fall 2016

Once the activities are complete, the students are required to grade their teammates on the rules of collaborative conversation including speaking softly, being good listeners, discussing the project, staying seated and being respectful. Individuals then turn the tables and grade themselves through self-reflection.

Sequoyah Elementary celebrates meeting coupon book goal By Wendy Smith Hundreds of small superheroes flooded the Sequoyah Elementary School gym last week to watch Harley Quinn (principal Julia Kirk) and the Joker (vice principal Wes Adcock) pay for “stealing” Knox County Schools Coupon Book proceeds. Justice was served when slime was dispensed on the heads of the evil duo by the school’s top 10 coupon book sellers.

The mini-drama was spawned by the superhero theme of this year’s coupon book campaign. Knox County students have sold the books for 28 years. Books cost $10, and $8 of that stays at the school where it was sold. Each of the top ten sellers chose from a list of prizes, like an iPod or Nerf gift card. The top seller, secondgrader Jackson Gilliam, sold 172 books.

By Sherri Gardner Howell It was bound to come up, and Patrick Wade, executive director of the Pat Summitt Foundation, had the right answer. The big check being presented to the Pat Summitt Alzheimer’s Clinic from Taste of Turkey Creek was for $20,078.92. “So,” asked the snarky reporter, “No one could find eight cents to round up?” “Every penny donated counts,” responded Wade. This was the fourth year for Taste of Turkey Creek, a partnership between Pinnacle at Turkey Creek and the Cole Neuroscience Center at the University of Tennessee Medical Center. Despite being held on the Saturday of the most hyped UT Vols game of the year, the Battle

at Bristol, the event raised a record amount of money and sold more tickets than any previous years. Taste kicked off a banner season for the Summitt Foundation, said Wade. Following closely after the event, UT Medical Center announced the hiring of Dr. Roberto Fernandez as the medical director of The Pat Summitt Alzheimer’s Clinic at The University of Tennessee Medical Center. The approximately 7,500-squarefoot center is on track to open in December. “This is an exciting time for us in our partnership with UT Medical Center,” said Wade, “a big move forward. When the clinic doors open and the new work begins we will start to see some of what all the funding has led to.”

Village Mercantile is Tennessee’s Best

A local business was one of three to win recognition from First Tennessee’s online competition, “Tennessee’s Best Small Business,� for small business owners across the Volunteer State. The Village Mercantile, 4503 Walker Blvd., in North Knoxville received second place and a $2,500 prize. It was presented Sept. 29 by Pam Fansler, First Tennessee’s East market president. The Cupcake Collection in Nashville received the grand prize of $10,000; BAAK Boutique in Sevierville received first prize of $5,000. “We are so delighted that a Knoxville business received second prize in this statewide contest,� said Fansler. “The Village Mercantile is very deserving of this honor and is a true community partner serving the Knoxville community.� Nominations were taken through Aug. 21 with voting Aug. 22 to Sept. 4. The Village Mercantile is decidedly more than just a grocery store, Fansler said. Monica Lauber, descendant of the Mast family, owners of the original Mast General Store, opened in the late 1800s in Valle Crucis, N.C., is owner and proprietor of The Village Mercantile. She values the smalltown feel and deep customer connections. Her store offers amenities that positively impact the people in her community. “Lauber listens to her neighbors, friends and community members, and makes a genuine effort to understand their needs.� The store stocks dry goods – a variety of non-perishable food and paper products that have been replaced at larger retail store chains for reasons that include

The non-perishables include a selection of organic, gluten-free and healthy fare, coffees, snack and convenience foods, beauty items, gifts, handmade soap and hand-poured soy candles, crafted by Monica herself. The store itself features hardwood floors and vintage-styled, wooden bookcase aisles. At the register, you will find a glass block money jar bearing the motto, “Feed a Friend.� Here Lauber has collected and forwarded more than $1,000 in customer gifts in the past year, providing groceries and positively affecting the lives of struggling community members, setting in motion a wave of human kindness, neighbor

to neighbor. The store offers a community room, located adjacent to the grocery aisles. This event space, displaying local artists’ paintings and photography, with a solid pine hand-carved table seating 10-15 people, allows for a variety of setups for meetings, book clubs, workshops, parties or retreats. Lauber says, “I envisioned a versatile, but beautiful space, a nominal fee of $15/hour, with no deposit required.� Recently, Lauber found statistics indicating more than 250 households in the store’s zip code are without transportation, many operating with budgets less than half the national poverty rate. While higher-income families enjoy fresh fruits and vegetables easily accessible at local farmers mar-

kets, lower-income families often do not have the means or transportation to access these markets. Lauber partnered with local farmers to provide a no-cost locale for farmers to convene every Saturday, bringing together the freshest locally grown foods, fully accessible to the community. When a farmer donated bushels of tomatoes, Monica offered them, free of charge, to the neighboring senior citizens who live independently but with supportive services. She posted on her Facebook Business Page, “A gift from a local producer and The Village Mercantile to you and yours.� Her loyal customers responded in kind by voting The Village Mercantile one of Tennessee’s best small businesses. It came full circle.

When being honored for volunteer service, there is but one major award that matters – the President’s Lifetime Achievement Award for Volunteer Service through the Corporation for National and Community Service. That award has been presented to Frank Rothermel, past president of the Rotary Club of Knoxville and Past District 6780 governor. This award honors an individual who has given more than 4,000 hours of service over his or her lifetime. Rothermel Frank has traveled the world volunteering for Rotary, so we wondered – 3,999 of those 4,000 hours are what he’s done for Rotary. What did he do with that extra hour? Well, Frank does a lot more for our community than just Rotary. And he still has to work for a living as president of Denark Construction. Outside of Rotary, he is vitally involved with Volunteer Knoxville, Leadership Knoxville, the United Way, MEDIC Blood Bank, Habitat for Humanity, the Homeless Coalition and the Urban League, to name but a few of his interests. There are many others. With his penchant for understatement, he says about this honor: “You know, I’m really not good at any one thing, but I’m OK on doing a lot of things. How many people, truly, have the opportunity to help their community as I have had? I’m the lucky one to be volunteering and helping out with some things. I was really shocked and surprised about this award.� Four years ago, Frank wanted to find an easy way for people to volunteer and help nonprofits in Knoxville. He and a few others came up with the idea of Volunteer Knoxville. Frank convinced nine of his “buddies� to join with him and pitch in $10,000 a year for three years, and they raised the $300,000 in seed money to get it rolling. Today, three years later, Volunteer Knoxville has 15,000 volunteers helping nonprofits. Alexandra Brownfield, Volunteer Knoxville’s executive director, says it would not have happened without Frank, and that led to the organization nominating him for this award. “It is absolutely amazing to see all that he does for our community,� she says. “He is a driving force.� There’s not one Rotarian anywhere who could or would disagree with that!

Cancer survivor has ‘a

lot of living to do’

Parkwest’s 3-D Mammography enhances early detection and treatment of breast cancer Sara Forrester, 74, of Knoxville, is faithful about getting yearly mammograms. At five feet tall, the sprightly grandmother takes care of her health by walking regularly, and says she usually hits 10,000 steps on her pedometer every day. “I always get a screening every year. I try to go during October, during breast cancer awareness month, because I get a goody bag!” she said with a laugh. In October 2015, Forrester’s insurance said she was eligible for a digital tomosynthesis screening if she wanted it. Tomosynthesis is a three-dimensional image, compared to a two-dimensional mammogram. It gives a clearer picture of the breast, especially for women with dense breast tissue, and Forrester said her previous mammograms had shown she had dense tissue. “They asked me which one I wanted, and I wanted the tomosynthesis,” she said. “This was the first year I was told Medicare would cover it.” Since breast cancer is denser than regular breast tissue, a tumor appears as a white spot on an otherwise lighter gray mammogram. But in women with dense breasts, the breast as a whole appears whiter, and it can be more difficult to detect a tumor. Tomosynthesis improves the radiologists’ ability to detect potential breast cancers by helping to pinpoint the size, shape and location of ab-

normalities. This helps the radiologist distinguish harmless structures from tumors, leading to fewer false positives, fewer call-backs and less anxiety for women. Tomosynthesis builds upon the success of digital mammography and was recently shown to improve rate of cancer detection and reduce the number of unnecessary callbacks in an article published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, June 2014. Experts believe that this method will soon become the gold standard in breast

cancer screening and detection. It is now used as a complement to conventional 2-D mammography for patients receiving a screening mammogram. Parkwest Comprehensive Breast Center was the first facility in Knoxville to offer the tomosynthesis technology to its patients. In Forrester’s case, it showed a spot in her left breast. A biopsy confirmed it was a cancerous tumor. In mid-November Forrester underwent a partial mastectomy (lumpectomy) and had one lymph node removed at

Parkwest Medical Center. “Dr. Lytle Brown did a lumpectomy,” she said. “He made a small incision on the breast and a small incision under my arm to take out a lymph node. The lymph node was clear, meaning the cancer had not spread to it.” Brown said the decision to have a partial mastectomy was right for Forrester. “It was an early stage of cancer. For a lot of women, whether you do a partial mastectomy or a full mastectomy is going to depend on size of tu-

mor, the involvement of underlying skin, the size of the breast in relation to the tumor and other factors. You have to individualize care for each person, and this was right for her,” said Brown. “I can’t say whether her cancer would have been detected without tomosynthesis, but I am glad that this more sensitive screening tool is available here in Knoxville, and that Parkwest was the first hospital to have it.” Forrester went home the same d day of her surgery, and in January began a series of 20 radiation treatb ments at Thompson Cancer Survival m Center-West. C Today, Forrester is on a medication t to reduce her chance of recurrence, and has an excellent prognor sis. s She said she would recommend Parkwest Medical Center to anyone P needing breast cancer care. n “The staff at Parkwest, I couldn’t ask a for better. They’re just wonderful people,” she said. “I’m doing great, p and a I am so blessed. I’m hopeful this will w take care of it and it will never come back.” Forrester has been back to walking 10,000 steps a day, gardening with her husband, Sam, and spending time with her two daughters and three grandchildren. “I don’t let this get me down, I’ve got too much living to do,” she said. “I want to see my two grandsons and granddaughter grow up. I don’t have time for breast cancer – I’m too busy!”

ten detect breast cancer at an early stage, when treatment is more effective and a cure is more likely. Although it is a very accurate screening tool for women at both average and increased risk, mammography will not detect all breast cancers in women without symptoms. The sensitivity of the test is lower for women with dense breasts. However, newer technologies have shown promising developments for women with dense breast tissue. Tomography, or 3-D digital mammography, has significantly improved cancer detection for women with dense breasts. Regardless of the detection method, once breast cancer is diagnosed, a Parkwest Breast Health Coordinator can help patients formulate the best treatment plan for each unique situation. According to the ACS, the five-year relative survival rate for female invasive breast cancer patients has improved from 75 percent in the mid-1970s to 89 percent today.* The Parkwest Comprehensive Breast Center is proud to have contributed to that increase in survival over time due to its advanced screening, diagnosis and treatment procedures.

Cozadds keep moving with help from Fort Sanders Regional How do you respond when your orthopedic surgeon guesses that you’re not very good at golf? Phil Cozadd, 75, took that diagnosis in stride, because the doctor was right. Paul Yau, MD, could tell that the Tellico Village resident had trouble turning at the hip. Yau surmised that would affect a golf game. Phil and his wife have been active for years and have taken great care of their health, which has allowed them to enjoy many adventures in retirement. But last fall the arthritis in Phil’s hip began to bother him more than it ever had before. Then on Dec. 31, 2015, the couple set off on a hike, took a wrong turn, and ended up trekking nine miles of trails in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. “The next day he could barely walk,” Lyn Cozadd says. The couple began the process of elimination to find a nonsurgical treatment that would cure Phil’s pain. There wasn’t one. When he was told it was time to seek out a surgeon for a hip replacement, he didn’t argue. The Cozadds had an advantage in that Lyn had been a board member for a community hospital in the city where they lived before retirement. She knew what she wanted in a hospital and in a surgeon for her husband, and she knew how to find it. Research and intuition led her to Dr. Yau, a board certified physician who specializes in replacement of hips and knees. His specialty practice keeps him current with the latest surgical techniques and advances in orthopedic care. They also decided Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center was the best option for Phil’s procedure. Dr. Yau replaced Phil’s hip on April 27 of this year. “It just couldn’t have been a nicer experience from the very beginning,” Phil says, “from going to see Dr. Yau for our first appointment, to the valet parking, to everybody in the hospital, just all the way down the line. It was really terrific.”

Phil Cozadd was back on the golf course for nine holes just three weeks after hip replacement surgery at FSRMC.

Rapid recovery The Cozadds had done their homework, and knew they wanted a surgeon and a hospital that would accommodate a very specific type of procedure. “Dr. Yau does the anterior hip replacement, and that was the only thing Phil and I were going to entertain,” Lyn explains. “The anterior approach to hip replacement allows surgery to be performed in a space between muscles and tendons,” Yau explains. “Newer instruments allow placement of tried and true implants in a less traumatic fashion, resulting in an easier recovery, and a hip that feels more natural.” Phil says the pain was minimal, and when you ask the Cozadds how Phil’s recovery went, Lyn speaks up first. “What recovery?” she jokes. “He was on the golf course in three weeks.” Phil interjects, “That was nine holes, and

therapists. Because Fort Loudoun is a member of Covenant Health, it was easy to make the transition from the hospital in Knoxville to therapy that was closer to home. One particular appointment with Dr. Yau in Knoxville resulted in the surgeon personally demonstrating stretching exercises he wanted Phil to do in the next phase of therapy. When Lyn demonstrated those same exercises to the therapists, a new protocol was created within minutes to get the job done. While Phil is still working on his golf game, his hip is one thing that doesn’t hold him back on the golf course. He and Lyn are also hiking as much as 20 miles a week. It’s important to note that Phil was in good physical condition before surgery. That increases the odds of a successful recovery process, and anyone considering joint replacement surgery should keep weight under control, eat right and get plenty of exercise. “We had a wonderful, wonderful experience with Fort Sanders Regional, and I can’t say enough about Dr. Yau,” Lyn says. Phil smiles in agreement, then says simply, “It’s nice to have a new part.”

Direct Anterior Hip Replacement – a new approach with great results

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.” 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 separate important muscles and tendons instead of cutting through them to position a new hip joint implant. “When I first started doing hip replacement surgery this way, I thought it was just another option to access the joint, but people have done amazingly well Paul Yau, M.D. with this approach,” said Dr. Paul Yau, an orthopedic surgeon 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,” said Yau. “It is common to hear patients being told not to bend at the hip more than 90 degrees, squat, reach to the floor or cross your legs after hip replacement because it would risk a dislocation. “With the anterior approach, none of these typical ligaments are cut, which means all of these common activities are safe, immediately after surgery,” Yau explained. The anterior approach does require a specialized surgical table and intraoperative X-rays. “The specialized table allows for safe leg

placement not possible with a traditional surgical table,” said Yau. “This unique table improves access to the hip joint and permits the use of intraoperative X-rays to ensure accurate implant position. “Traditionally, leg length discrepancies are a well-known complication after total hip replacement. The use of live, real-time imaging during surgery allows the surgeon to make both legs balanced and symmetric in length,” he said. “This means the implant will last longer. I no longer say you have to be a certain age to get a hip replacement.” With the anterior approach, most patients will only need one night in the hospital to recover. “Some people even go home the same day,” said Yau. “People recover so much faster it’s unbelievable.” Yau said he began doing the anterior surgery routinely about three years ago, and uses it today for about 95 percent of his hip replacement and repair surgeries. “It does require special facilities and a trained staff, which we have at Fort Sanders. There are a lot of moving parts to the surgery and they all need to be coordinated or you’ll have issues,” he said. Studies have backed up Yau’s opinion of anterior hip replacement. “You know how progress tends to happen in increments?” he asked. “I want to say this is a giant leap instead of an incremental one in orthopedic surgery. I haven’t seen anything this dramatically improve people’s outcome from surgery, ever.” For more information on direct anterior hip replacement, call 673-FORT or visit the website at www.fsregional.com/orthopaedics

Community School of the Arts

gets on the holiday ball early By Carol Z. Shane

“Years ago,” says Jennifer Willard, executive director of the Community School of the Arts, “the four-year-old brother of one our students stood outside a classroom and heard someone practicing ‘O Holy Night.’ He shouted at the top of his lungs, ‘IT’S NOT CHRISTMAS!’ “I think of that sentiment every September.” Preparation for the annual holiday concert starts early at the school, which provides after-school music and visual arts classes for kids ages six to 18. “We require every performing arts student to perform at least twice a year, and most do so at the holiday concert,” says Willard. Because it takes a while for little fingers to learn the notes, and because teachers must often deal with absences due to sickness, sports, school system days off and breaks as well as the Thanksgiving holiday, they begin thinking about Christmas carols Percussion instructor leads his “Percussion Forte” ensemble in a rehearsal. He’s showing them and other seasonal scenarios months ahead how to do a double-stroke, which requires a loose wrist. Alana Pass, Isabella and Grace Gish, of the December 13 concert date.

gram from turning into a three-hour extravaganza — we encourage every teacher to put together as many as ensembles as possible. Usually that means siblings play with siblings, but sometimes an instructor can pull off a miracle and get all of the students in his or her studio together at one time playing the same piece. “After 24 years of holiday concerts, we’re a little more lax about dictating what constitutes holiday music. One year, instructor Greg Horne led his entire guitar studio in a performance of ‘Yellow Submarine.’ It turned out to be a great choice — something even the beginners could play, and a real crowd pleaser. The little boy who called out ‘A life of ease! Every one of us! Has all we need!’ in the last verse became an instant star.”Another year, a young piano student and her teacher struggled to come up with a selection. They finally settled on “Rocky Top,” but called it “Tia’s Orange Christmas Carol” Whatever gets played, struck, sung or printed, holiday time at the Community School of the Arts is always exciting for everyone involved. And the work starts now.
