Town grant to be used for Lions’ sight machine upgrades By Natalie Lester Since 1925 Lions Clubs around the world have responded to a challenge from the renowned Helen Keller to aid the blind and visually impaired. Now, thanks to town of Farragut funds, two area clubs will be able to upgrade their equipment to continue vision screenings. Last week, Farragut Mayor Ralph McGill presented the West Knox and Farragut Lions with a $2,000 community grant for maintenance of the Sure Sight instruments. While the grant was funded by money from the town’s red light cameras, McGill shared a concern over the decline in the camera revenue with club members. “We started in 2009 at $40,000 a month,” he said. “We ended 2010 at $10,000 a month. The good news is that people are paying more attention at red lights than they used to, and that is what this was about. It was never about revenue. Obviously, as revenue trickles down, we’re going to have to look more and more closely at community grants.” Also at the meeting, Lion Mark Dupes showed the club an adult screening machine the Sevi-

The West Knox Lions hope they will be able to make recommendations for adults who need to see an optometrist, just as they can for the children they screen. The West Knox Lions will meet again at 7 p.m. Monday, Oct. 3. The group will be moving from its usual meeting place at Shoney’s on Lovell Road to Sam and Andy’s in Farragut.

West Knox Lion Mark Dupes tells club members about the machine borrowed from a neighboring club to do adult vision screenings. The club will be one of four to screen both adults and children.

FUD bond to fund upgrades Board approves application By Natalie Lester Though First Utility District’s capital improvement plan does not call for a bond for another year, FUD assistant manager Wayne Watson proposed the utility company issue a $16.3 million construction bond while interest rates are low. The board of commissioners unanimously approved the proposal last Monday. “We don’t need the funding (immediately), but the rates are so low we should start working on this,” Watson said. “I don’t know when rates will go back up.” Rates for a 20-year bond issue are approximately 3.5 percent, according to Watson’s proposal. If the interest rose by one percent, the 20-year payback would increase by $2.1 million. The cost of issuing the bond one year early is the year’s debt service at 3.5 percent, or about $570,000. The money will be used over the next two years for improvements and

sions of ground water into the sewer collection costs FUD more than $200,000 per mile. An expected extension of water and sewer lines along Outlet Drive next year will cost $500,000. The capital improvement plan required a $15 million bond next year, and the additional $1.3 million in the bond will pay all issue costs and fund the required Bond Reserve Fund. Watson also reported FUD is currently $700,000 ahead of its budget, and the company transferred $1,024,719 into its capital improvement fund in August.

Town wrestles with retirement dilemma By Suzanne Foree Neal While Farragut’s employees appreciate the talk, what they really want to see is a little more action to remedy their retirement woes. Town officials were sympathetic as they discussed the problem at a workshop session prior to the Board of Mayor and Aldermen meeting last week, but ultimately decided more time was needed to gather information to make an informed decision about the best way to proceed. When the town opted out of Social Security in 1984 in favor of an alternative retirement plan, apparently no one knew the problems that would cause employees down the road when it came time to collect Social Security earned at previous jobs. New legislation enacted at about the same time, a windfall elimination act, means retiring em-

ployees won’t get their Social Security benefits for a period of 10 years. Older, long-time workers are being hurt the most. Smoak presented a chart with seven scenarios for employees to consider that would in one way or another add more cash to their retirement funds, then tossed out a totally different concept. “We might do something like a supplemental plan – something for long-term employees with some sort of match,” he said. “It would be ongoing and not a lump-sum settlement. We want to reward employees and keep them here.” If the town decides to go with Social Security again, it can buy back up to three years of time for employees at a cost of $700,000. Employees would have to pay tax on that money, which, Smoak said, could be

a problem for some. He also had no idea how much benefit employees would reap when they started drawing Social Security on that amount down the road. Steve Coker, who works in codes enforcement, said when he was hired by a previous town administrator, he was told the town’s retirement plan was “better than Social Security, which has turned out not to be true. I took a big pay cut when I came here because I had a great desire to see the town make a difference.” When he retires, he’ll get a total of $1,174 at age 66. “I didn’t come for that and somebody dropped the ball,” he said. Alexis Crawford, a long-time support staff employee in codes, perhaps gave the most eloquent description of how she feels. She

compared the town to a house with the boards, staff and administrator playing key roles in satisfying its customers, the citizens of Farragut. “The support staff is your foundation; the most important part of your house,” she said. “We have to support everyone … and your foundation is crumbling. … These scenarios are like putting spackling on a huge crack.” Alderman Dot LaMarche said, “We have wonderful, loyal employees who need to be compensated for our error … especially the ones that have been here the longest.” Smoak told her he would take a look at all the scenarios again to discuss at a future workshop. Mayor Ralph McGill closed the session by asking the staff to “just bear with us until we get all the information we need.”

Cowboy up! Marshal Andy visits Farragut Rotary takes only one negative person to ruin a whole room, so you better watch them. They really are dangerous.�

Local television and radio host Marshal Andy (aka Andy Smalls) entertained the Farragut Rotary Club with a few jokes and some advice during its weekly meeting last week at the Fox Den Country Club.

â–

Local television and radio cowboy singer extraordinaire Marshal Andy entertained the Farragut Rotary Club during its meeting last week.

Andy, who was a Rotarian for 20 years, sang his famous Waffle House and Buddy’s bar-b-q jingles. “I bought my wife a new car and paid off some of our house payment with that one,� he said after the Waffle House jingle performance. He also reminded the club his show was all about people, and said he recently hosted Pilot Corporation founder Jim Haslam on a program. “I like talking about people,� he said. “With Jim, I didn’t want to talk about Pilot, money and governing, I wanted to talk about growing up.�

Andy also shared a softer side with the Farragut club. He talked about losing his two youngest children, and the faith that helped him carry on. “I’m still lucky,� he said. “I can still talk and sing. I am okay because I still have God. If you believe and have faith, you can get through anything.� Andy also suffered from two tumors in his spine, but remains optimistic about his condition. He said he surrounds himself with positive people. “I don’t have time for negative people,� he said. “It

History stops in Farragut

Vladimir Horowitz, a Ukrainian-born, American classical pianist, was considered one of the most brilliant pianists of his time. He took his Steinway piano on all of his tours, which included a performance for President Jimmy Carter. Horowitz is the only Steinway pianist to perform in the White House. His piano recently spent a week at the Steinway piano and American Piano Gallery store in Farragut. American Piano Gallery representative Greg Scribner said between 35 and 40 people played the instrument during its visit. “Players were excited to hear about the visit,� he said. “But they were even more thrilled after they played it. The musicians were playing on history. You get to see a lot of history, but rarely do you get hands-on experience with it.� The piano is traveling

across the country and to Europe over the coming months. It had been to Nashville and Alabama before its stop in Farragut, and its next stop is a Steinway store in North Carolina. Eventually, it will find its final home in the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. “The sound is dramatic from the low to the high notes,� said Steinway teacher Bill Dietzler. “It just comes alive. When you play other pianos the low notes get muddy and the high notes run together, but this one is totally distinct. You can’t play those notes on other pianos and have them come in as clear. It responds to a pianist differently than any other piano.�

Tasty wine raises funds for Rotary

At the annual Farragut Rotary Club’s wine tasting and silent auction last week, the club raised $11,000 in ticket sales and $1,440 in the silent auction items. “As I looked around the room, I realized I am so lucky and thankful to be a part of this club,� said event organizer and Rotarian Stephanie Myers. The hottest silent auction item was the teen driving class, which was purchased by Doc Pratt for the high bid of $220. The second item was a UT football package including two tickets, a parking pass and game day gear. Tom King was the high bidder at $200. Other items included a case

Jefferson studied Islam, scholar says The founding fathers studied the world’s civilizations as they mapped out this country’s government, and Islam expert Azizah al-Hibri is convinced that Thomas Jefferson based some of his ideas on Islamic civilization.

Al-Hibri, a professor at the T.C. Williams School of Law, University of Richmond, Va., lectured at the

UT College of Law last week. Each civilization gleans wisdom from those that came before it, and Western civilization is no different, she says. “We all rely on each other. No man is an island, and no civilization is an island.� Thomas Jefferson owned a copy of the Koran, which she has seen in the Library of Congress.

A light night for BOMA By Suzanne Foree Neal After an hour-long workshop session on the town of Farragut’s pension woes for its staff concluded, members of the Farragut Beer Board and Board of Mayor and Aldermen got down to checking off items on its regular agenda in rapid fashion last Thursday. An on-premise beer permit was approved for Blue Sky CafÊ at 138 West End Ave. upon obtaining a certificate of occupancy. That address has housed several restaurants in the past that have come and gone, but owners Martina Kitts and Jackie King are happy with the location. The casual dining restaurant, which is just now opening, serves breakfast and lunch Monday through Saturday. The owners also operate Dinner

Afare, which they moved into the building from their previous location in Turkey Creek. The board approved on second reading a list of amended ordinances regarding changes in wording to its municipal codes to eliminate fee amounts. K. Kimmey Design, owned by Klair Kimmey, received a contract to print the 2012 Farragut annual report publication. The price of $12,490 is the same as it was in 2011 for 9,000 copies of the 28page, four-color booklet. The firm has been printing the annual publication for 20 years. The Parks and Leisure Services staff provides all copy and photographs for the booklet, which should be delivered to homes in early February.

also mention protecting “Muhammadism� specifically. While most Westerners equate Islamic civilization with conflict and violence, early Islamic culture had qualities similar to those valued in U.S. culture today. For example, history shows that women were community leaders during the lifetime of the prophet Muhammad. The Koran says that women can work, says al-Hibri, and when Muhammad created the first Islamic community at Medina in the seventh century, a delegation of women gave him the vote.

That system of selecting leaders by the consent of the people, called baya, is akin to the democratic system of voting and was unusual at the time, she says. “It was a world in which power spoke. Islam said it isn’t power that speaks, but what it right.� Muhammad also created a federal system with the Charter of Medina, which was a compact with tribes, or states, that allowed each tribe to create its own rules. A jury system was used when Sicily was under Muslim control in the 10th century, and the concept may have spread to the West when the region was conquered by the Normans, says al-Hibri. Muslims have been part of this country for a long time, she says, and the contributions of their people have never been fully recognized.

Town continues website upgrade Citizen request tracker unveiled last week By Natalie Lester Town of Farragut staff launched the new municipal website in July, but that didn’t mean the work was finished. Just last week a citizen request tracker was added to the site. “We wanted a system that would be more user friendly for the public and for the town staff,� said executive assistant Valerie Millsaps, who will be monitoring the site. “The citizen request tracker does just that.� The feature provides an easy method for citizens to report and track problems including potholes, missing road signs, overgrown

lots, vandalism and playground safety. “The town of Farragut hopes to improve and streamline workflow, increase efficiency, increase citizen communication and improve our communication with the public,� Millsaps said. Citizens will be required to create an account through the site, and instructions are available online. The town is unable to take anonymous requests, and all information about a request will be public record. After a request has been fi led, the citizen will receive

It’s a religion that celebrates God’s creation, and encourages adherents to ponder creation, rather than run away from it. As a result, there is no conflict between Islam and the study of science. Because of this approach, the Muslim world experienced its golden age when the rest of Europe was in the midst of the dark ages. Muslims are responsible for several advancements in science, medicine and math, including the invention of the numeral zero, says al-Hibri. The alphabet was invented in Lebanon, where she was born. Islam, when properly understood as it was revealed by the prophet, espouses values that are consistent with those of this country, she says. “Those who disagree are looking at a perversion of Islam.�

Mayor ‘sees the light’ on Carter Elementary School “I think the light’s at the end of the tunnel on the Carter project,” Mayor Tim Burchett said at last week’s County Commission work session. Today’s commission vote will reveal whether that light is a rising sun or an oncoming train. In the words of Commissioner Tony Norman, the process for building a new school “got so convoluted and curious” that predicting commission’s decision has become a slippery business. Tim Burchett Questions about the Devon Group’s abrupt withdrawal linger, and parents with children in other decaying schools are beginning to ask how Carter jumped to the head of the line. If the project stalls, it’s better for Burchett if commission gives the thumbs down. A school board rejection could cast the mayor and the school board as adversaries for the next three years, an outcome that benefits neither. Alternatively, if the commission signs off and the school board says no, Burchett remains a hero in East Knox County. However, his pledge to use the money raised to reduce debt if the Carter project fails could cost him support from parents in other parts of the county. But first things first: how will the commission vote? ■ 1st District: Sam McKenzie’s skepticism is welldocumented. McKenzie is solidly for renovation and against building a new school. He votes no. ■ 2nd District: Some blamed Amy Broyles for Devon’s pullout. That’s farfetched, but Broyles is an emphatic no. ■ 3rd District: At the work session, Norman said, “It was always so curious why (Partners Development) wasn’t selected to begin with,” given their experience with school construction. Norman wants to consider the proposal objectively, but is leaning toward no. ■ 4th District: Jeff Ownby supported a new school for Carter while campaigning for his seat. He hasn’t explained why residents of his district should care, but he’ll vote yes. ■ 5th District: At a recent commission meeting, Richard Briggs opined that building a new school was not a good use of tax dollars. He probably votes no, but Briggs has been known to backtrack. ■ 6th District: There’s little reason for him to support the project, but Brad Anders has signaled he’ll vote yes. ■ 7th District: Conditions at Shannondale and Adrian Burnett should give R. Larry Smith something to think about, but he leans yes. ■ 8th District: Dave Wright votes yes. ■ 9th District: Mike Brown votes no unless a deal emerges for New Hopewell, which appears unlikely. ■ At-large Seat 10: Mike Hammond goes with the mayor and votes yes. ■ At-large Seat 11: Ed Shouse is leaning yes, but against his better judgment. The results: ■ Solid yes: Ownby, Anders, Wright and Hammond ■ Solid no: McKenzie, Broyles and Brown ■ Leaning yes: Smith and Shouse ■ Leaning no: Norman and Briggs The mayor needs to keep Smith and Shouse on the reservation. The loyal opposition needs to hold on to Briggs and Norman and pick off either Smith or Shouse. The former is much easier, making the most likely vote 6-5 or 7-4 in the mayor’s favor.

A-4 • SEPTEMBER 26, 2011 • WEST SIDE SHOPPER-NEWS

Winning: Madeline Rogero The outcome of a mayoral election boasting more candidate forums than voters is tough to predict, but that’s what we do here at the Shopper-News, so here goes: Madeline Rogero is going to take this thing in the primary. Despite having four opp one nt s and being dubbed “ T h a t Woman” by Rogero Republican men who professed to be scared to death of her, she will get the necessary 50 percent of the vote and then some, sparing us the agony of another two months of endless appeals to the lesser angels of our natures over things like red light cameras and homeless shelters (if Ivan Harmon had made the runoff) or commercials about running government like a bidness delivered by

Betty Bean the slickest talker this side of Ron Popiel (if Mark Padgett had made the runoff). Joe Hultquist and Bo Bennett won’t be factors, although Bennett’s pleasant manner and perseverance have probably won him a lot of new friends. Hultquist, not so much. By the end of campaign season the gimmicky pseudo issues he was throwing against the wall (dismantling KUB, building a campus for the homeless) were not only not sticking, but were largely being ignored. Not a single news outlet of which I am aware covered his appearance at a recent school board meeting when he promised to increase the city’s already substantial voluntary contribution to the county schools.

Harmon and Padgett are locked in a close contest for second. Harmon ran some early feel-good TV spots casting himself as a helpful neighbor who fi xes old ladies’ mailboxes, but he petered out in the home stretch, probably because he has had difficulties raising money. Harmon is clearly hoping to cash in on the nationwide Republican surge with endorsements from county GOP figures like Sheriff J.J. Jones, party chair Ray Hal Jenkins and County Commissioner Jeff Ownby, whose recent robocall to likely voters was paid for by the Committee to Elect Ivan Harmon, but which took an odd, nasty swipe at City Council candidate and former County Commissioner Finbarr Saunders, whom Ownby defeated last year. It remains to be seen whether an overt pitch to fellow Republicans will overcome Democrat Padgett’s

Country living on Mullins Mountain One of the funniest books to come along in awhile was written by local Realtor and raconteur Sonny Mullins. Sonny memorialized the book to his big brother, Jim, who was murdered Sept. 22, 2009, at his store on Rutledge Pike. And while this tragedy touched Sonny to his core, he worked through the pain by recounting tales of life on Mullins Mountain, where every man and boy

called the others “bubba.” Sonny writes of his onearmed daddy and his mother, Gracie Lee. He writes of his wife, Patsy, a long-time teacher at Central High School, and his “one or two hundred cousins.” He writes of the first time an airplane flew over Mullins Mountain. The Rev. Mullins declared the end of time had come and gathered all his kids and neighbors

phenomenal fundraising ability. Padgett has gained ground, but the runner-up slot is too close to call and doesn’t much matter. There’s an old school saying among campaign operatives: Money finds the winner. Rogero, whose great strength is her strong, citywide base, has consistently lagged behind Padgett in fundraising – until now. In the Sept. 20 financial disclosure, Padgett raised $135,215. Rogero took in $139,054, besting him by $4,000. On Tuesday, Madeline Rogero will be poised to make history. She will become not only Knoxville’s first woman mayor, but the first Tennessee woman to become mayor of a city of this size. The spectacle of this lifelong Democrat prevailing in one of the most reliably Republican regions of the country will finally give Tennessee Democrats a little something to cheer about.

■ Had time to review those financial disclosures? ■ Marilyn Roddy spent more than $70K in printing with an out-ofstate firm. So much for bringing jobs to Knoxville! ■ Lamar Alexander is taking a break from Republican Party leadership (he holds the No. 3 spot in the Senate) to concentrate on issues of importance to Tennessee. Lamar has looked increasingly uncomfortable touting the hard as concrete right wing talking points. Good move, Lamar! ■ Becky Massey put out the best piece of comparison campaign literature that I’ve seen. For instance, she says four words: “Opposes red light cameras.” Then she cites a Jan. 29, 2009, News Sentinel article reporting that Marilyn Roddy voted for red light cameras as a member of City Council. ■ Massey goes on with taxes, homeless housing and GOP support. ■ Best of all, her flyer was printed and mailed in Knoxville. ■ Four council seats are up; all will go to the November general election. Here’s our best guess for the top two vote getters from each district in order of finish: ■ District 5: Mark Campen, unopposed ■ Seat A: George Wallace, Paul Berney ■ Seat B: Marshall Stair, Bill Owen ■ Seat C: Finbarr Saunders, Ron Peabody.

Inspecting the inspectors Construction violations trend with economy By Larry Van Guilder “Anyone in construction will sooner or later receive a notice of violation (NOV),” says Chris Granju, who heads Knox County’s Stormwater Management department. The department’s records back that up. From 2008 to the present, NOVs were issued to companies at 35 different business addresses for EPSC (Erosion Prevention and Sediment Control) violations. The number of NOVs per address ranged from five to 25, and 15 were assessed civil penalties of more than $1,000. Not all the penalties were collected. Penalties of $31,750 were levied on the Westland Manor

and Towering Oaks developments for 19 EPSC violations, but the developer went under after paying only $3,000. The county collected an additional $20,000 when the company forfeited its performance bond. Issuing the NOV does not guarantee swift compliance, as Gary and Marsha Carter found out on June 24 when a detention pond collapsed sending a torrent of muddy water into their home on Dawson Hollow Road. As reported in the ShopperNews in August, a stormwater inspector issued an NOV to Southland Excavation on June 6 for defects in the detention pond and gave the company 15 days to fix the problem. On

June 22 Southland asked for more time. On June 24 the pond collapsed. Stormwater records show 21 NOVs issued to the Southland Group and Smithbilt LLC between 2009 and 2011 for nine developments. There is no record of civil penalties assessed. Dwight Van de Vate, director of Public Works and Engineering, says the department’s goal is to put itself “out of business” where violations and civil penalties are concerned. Granju echoes that philosophy, saying the goal is to educate, not punish, the developer. “The last resort is to have Knox County go after the money,”

Granju says. Clearly some builders and developers need education. Van de Vate recalls one who poured five gallons of oil in a creek and incurred a $5,000 penalty. “Autozone will take it for free,” Van de Vate says. “Today’s NOV is 1995’s, ‘Hey, can you put up that silt fence’?” Granju says. And despite horror stories like the Dawson Hollow Road disaster, Van de Vate says “enforcement is better now than it’s ever been.” Granju notes that a developer not in a position to complete the work is probably not in a position to pay a fine. The faltering economy has placed a number of local developers and builders in

that position. “The economy has buried the marginal developer,” Van de Vate says, and the number of foreclosures is “more than we’ve ever had.” Stormwater inspectors performed 623 site inspections during the first quarter of 2011, even as the worst new building market in decades persists. Granju says a consultant study in 2005 concluded that the department needed 17 inspectors “per that paradigm.” But the rules and the “paradigm” change frequently. Phase II of the EPA’s National Pollution Discharge Elimination System for stormwater management makes that certain. “Five years from now, the needs will be different,” Van de Vate says. Granju agrees. No developer is asking for more regulation and stricter enforcement, but no one wants another Dawson Hollow.

Women mayors have a long history Madeline Rogero may soon make local history as the first woman mayor of the city of Knoxville. If elected, Rogero will follow a path blazed by Susanna Madora Salter in 1887 when the 27-year-old Kansan was elected mayor of Argonia, a small town near the south central border of the state. Argonia, a Quaker village of less than 500, became nationally and internationally known when Salter became the first woman elected mayor in the U.S. Ironically, women did not win the right to vote in national elections until the 19th Amendment was ratified in 1920, three decades after Salter made history. Writing in the Kansas Historical Quarterly in 1954, historian Monroe Billington recounted how “a certain group of men in Argonia” resented women intruding in political affairs and determined to humiliate them. They had ballots printed with Salter’s name

Larry Van Guilder

on them without her knowledge or consent. When the local chair of the Republican party saw the ballots, he asked Salter if she would run if elected. She agreed, and with the help of votes from members of the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union was elected. Mayor Salter had the last laugh in more ways than one. She lived to the age of 101, dying in 1961. (Living long is sometimes the best revenge.) Closer to home, May Ross McDowell became the first woman mayor of Johnson City, Tenn., in 1961. A graduate of what was then East Tennessee State College, now ETSU, and the East Tennessee Law School,

McDowell enjoyed a distinguished career before her death in 1988 at the age of 90. Among her many honors, she became only the second woman to receive the U.S. Department of Labor’s highest award, the Certificate of Meritorious Service, in 1964. In 1965 she was named the first “Distinguished Woman in Residence” at the University of Colorado. Last January, the third oldest city in Tennessee, Parrotsville, swore in its first female mayor. Mary Keller, 68, is retired, but her part-time service as mayor keeps her occupied. “Sometimes when you go to bed at night you wonder, ‘What was I thinking?’” Keller says. “But we’ve been real busy trying to put Parrotsville back on the map.” Keller says the town of less than 300 is in the process of renovating the local baseball field as well tennis and basketball courts. She’s also preparing for festivi-

First Presbyterian celebrates colorful history DOWNTOWN ‌ | Wendy Smith irst Presbyterian Church on State Street is Knoxville’s oldest church, and a few episodes in its long history were highlighted during the recent East Tennessee History Fair. Samuel Carrick is believed to have founded First Presbyterian in 1792. He would later found Blount College, which eventually became UT. Knoxville founder James White donated a parcel of land that was once a turnip patch for the church’s first permanent home, which was completed in 1816. The church’s current pastor, William Pender, portrayed former Civil War-era pastor William Andrew Harrison during a reenactment of a dramatic moment in the church’s history. Harrison, who was pro-Confederate, let it be known from the pulpit that he didn’t think Unionists could be Christians. Union First Presbyterian Church member Pat Armstrong stands beside Abner Baker’s obelisk in the church’s graveyard. Photos by Wendy Smith

Ken Creswell and First Presbyterian Pastor William Pender portray an incident famous in the church’s history when Civil War-era pastor William Andrew Harrison was arrested for anti-Union sentiments.

General Ambrose Burnside heard of Harrison’s remarks, and the pastor was arrested in the midst of a sermon in 1864. First Presbyterian member Kelly Norrell shared the history of church’s stained glass windows. Four of the oldest windows, which date back to the early 1900s, are thought to be the work of Flora and Ruby MacDonald of MacDonald Glassworks of Boston. They are made of opaque glass, which was considered less distracting to worshippers than translucent glass. The MacDonalds were paid $10,000 for the commission – an enormous sum at the time. Two other windows are attributed to Louis Comfort Tiffany. One is a large window that was later divided, and the halves are now on either side of the church’s State Street entrance. The other is in the sanctuary. Tiffany was commissioned to create a third window, but its location is unknown. One window was covered up when the balcony was built in the 1925, and Norrell wonders if it could be the missing Tiffany work. The windows are all memorials to First Presbyterian members. The newest window was installed in a church

Louis Comfort Tiffany is credited with creating the stained glass windows that adorn either side of the church’s State Street entrance. parlor earlier this month in honor of Rosa Scott, who led a popular Bible study for many years. Pat Armstrong conducted a tour of First Presbyterian’s graveyard. Ten percent of the graves belong to Knoxvillians who succumbed to an 1838 plague, Armstrong said. Church founder Carrick is buried in the corner closest to the intersection of State Street and Clinch Avenue, supposedly to be close to the first home of Blount College, which stood in the Tennessee Theater’s present location. James White is also bur-

ied there, along with three members of U.S. Congress – William Blount, John Williams, and Hugh Lawson White, son of James. But the most colorful character in the cemetery may be Confederate soldier Abner Baker. Baker’s father, Dr. Harvey Baker, was shot by Union sympathizers in his home, the historic Baker Peters House located at Kingston Pike and South Peters Road. After the war, Abner returned to Knoxville and hunted down his father’s murderer. But his revenge was short-lived, for he was later hung by Unionists.

Enough: A place of peace In the evening quails came up and covered the camp; and in the morning there was a layer of dew around the camp. When the layer of dew lifted, there on the surface of the wilderness was a fine flaky substance, as fine as frost on the ground. When the Israelites saw it, they said to one another, “What is it?” For they did not know what it was. Moses said to them, “It is the bread that the Lord has given you to eat.” (Exodus 16: 13-15 NRSV) When it was evening, the disciples came to him and said, “This is a deserted place, and the hour is now late; send the crowds away so that they may go into the villages and buy food for themselves.” Jesus said to them, “They need not go away; you give them something to eat.” They replied, “We have nothing here but five loaves and two fish.” And he said, “Bring them here to me.” (Matthew 14: 15-18 NRSV) Hungry masses, deserted place: the settings for two stories. You know these two stories. You probably have heard them linked together in more than one sermon. You also may have heard them explained away, rationalized into nothingness. You may have heard them questioned. You may have heard them scoffed at. It was a conversation with a colleague, whose mind I enjoy, that set me thinking about these two accounts of miraculous feeding. We had finished the business at hand, and because we both work with populations who do not always have what they need, let alone what they want, the conversation turned to the economies in which we live. Not, please note, The Economy, that fearsome beast that is on everyone’s lips these days. We were talking about the economies of scarcity and plenty, and the ways in which each person’s perception of those extremes is set in place by our own experiences and our own expectations. We pondered those extremes and agreed that in the center was the ideal, the concept of Enough. And then the question arose, “Is the story of manna true? Or is it a parable? A fairy tale? Was the manna real?” There are all sorts of answers to those questions. Scholars point out

Passion Conference is church on steroids

Cross Currents

By Natalie Lester

Lynn Hutton

University of Tennessee seniors Wes Stokes and Margeaux Hill agree the annual Passion Conference for college students in Atlanta changed their lives. “It made me stronger, because it brought different topics to light that I would have never thought about,” Stokes said. “It opened my eyes that life is more about God than it is about me.” “It has made me question myself,” Hill said. “I’ve

that there is a secretion from certain plants in the Sinai Peninsula that dries to an edible form they call St. John’s Bread. As for me, I am pretty sure it as not a fairy tale. You can’t live on fairy tales. But after the conversation was over, I kept reflecting on the question, and I arrived again at my version of God’s Rules of Manna: 1. There will be enough. 2. There won’t be any extra. 3. It may not be exactly what you would choose. 4. It won’t come until you absolutely have to have it. 5. When in doubt, see Rule No. 1. God’s rules are predicated on our being willing to give up control (tough assignment, that one!), to trust God, and obey the rules: the Israelites had to share, and they couldn’t be greedy. None of which removes our responsibility to do something to help ourselves: the manna did not fall directly onto the Israelites’ dinner plates; they had to gather it. But the hardest assignment is learning that Enough is a state of equilibrium – a place of peace, of grace.

long before they entered kindergarten. Kayland started when she was 3; Elizabeth was around 4. They first squared off against each other when they were 6 or 7, says Kayland. Elizabeth remembers playing her golf at the Concord Park par 3. Kayland played at her grandfather’s course, Executive Meadows in Lenoir City. Presently Elizabeth plays golf at Fox Den, which is also the home course for the school’s golf teams. Kayland

plays across the road at Willow Creek when she’s not practicing at Fox Den with her teammate. Elizabeth grew up playing several sports but says golf is “fun and challenging for sure.” She hopes to take her golf on to college with her. Likewise for Kayland, who hopes to earn a golf scholarship. When it comes to pro golfing hopes, Kayland has definite thoughts while Elizabeth says it depends upon how her game progresses.

“I’ll see how it plays out in the next few years,” she says. The girls mostly study the men’s circuit for golfing tips – and it’s not bad that some of them are really cute. Kayland says Jim Furyk has a “neat swing that’s very unique.” Elizabeth also likes to watch Furyk, but adds Phil Mickelson to her list of watchables. The biggest thing that bugs Kayland about being a young golfer in high school is that people don’t think it’s a sport. “I spend six hours a day practicing and carry a 40-pound golf bag up and down hills,” she says, adding there’s no golf cart for her. This year Elizabeth hopes to work on her patience and focus on her swing and her short game. She wants to learn to nail approach shots and get into a good position on the green. When they play competitions they tee it up on either the women’s tees or senior tees, depending on how long the course is. While Elizabeth is still looking for her first hole-in-one, Kayland has had three – and every ball has been mounted and saved. Both say they enjoy being able to play against other girls because it makes them focus more on their game. And Elizabeth adds one more thing about how the girls’ team has doubled this year: “I’m excited to have a teammate!”

Hallway of zip ties Pellissippi art instructor displays sculpture Brian Jobe, an adjunct faculty member at Pellissippi State, is one of three emerging artists showcased in the Knoxville Museum of Art’s Comtemporary Focus 2011. Jobe’s “Turfside Passage” is an interactive sculpture shaped like a hallway, one lined with 14-inch yellow zip ties. The entire piece is 7 feet tall, 28 inches wide and 25 feet deep, giving viewers room to interact with the art rather than just look at it. Touching is encouraged in the brightly colored, sense-laden hallway. “Repetition signals endlessness,” said Jobe of his creation. “The desire to move down pathways and passages is innate. ‘Turfside Passage’ is a project inspired by an interest in creating architectural spaces and a desire to engage the public in a physical, sensory experience. Viewers can choose to walk through the passage and allow the work to affect them.”

Brian Jobe stands inside his sculpture, “Turfside Passage.” It is featured in the Knoxville Museum of Art’s Contemporary Focus 2011 exhibit, which runs through Nov. 6. Photo submitted John Bissonette and Greg Pond are the other featured artists. The Knoxville Museum of Art is located at 1050 World’s Fair Park Dr. Info: www. knoxart.org or 525-6101.

Behold Buffalo on the football horizon. Fortunately, basketball is near enough to be a substitute subject. To quote a past president, “Let me make one thing perfectly clear …” Cuonzo Martin is not Bruce Pearl. Never was. Won’t be. He is not a natural promoter, of himself or others. He is not a marketing major. He is spirited and determined but something less than flamboyant. ESPN will have to get along without much of his help. You are not likely to see him in orange body paint. You are not likely to see his team in the second round of the NCAA tournament. If it answers the opening bell, Martin should be coach of the year. His Vols have been picked as low as last in the Southeastern Conference. As with most new coaches, he has this job because there were problems. Cuonzo faces a difficult task,

which is one reason the dearly departed Mike Hamilton more than quadrupled his Missouri State pay and presented a five-year contract. Ah yes, I remember it well … “Cuonzo is among the most promising young coaches in the game, and we are excited about the coaching ability, toughness and energy that he brings to our program,” said Hamilton. In more ways than one, the former athletic director and the former coach contributed to the overall difficulty. The schedule is daunting. There is good and bad. Tennessee gets to play in Hawaii. Tennessee has to play Duke.

The only interruption in the SEC schedule is defending national champion UConn at Thompson-Boling on Jan. 21, just past the middle of a dangerous segment that could result in nine losses in 10 games. Give that some thought. Here’s what I know for certain about basketball: There is a critical link between recruiting and records. Great players make coaches seem much smarter. Going all the way back to Emmett Lowery, before Ray Mears, the best Tennessee teams had the best players. It is almost impossible to win on the road when rivals get top talent and you get good kids with heart and hustle. Much better story if it happened the other way but no go. Martin says his team will play hard. That won’t be enough. In fact, anything less would be an embarrassment. The upcoming Volunteers need to play smart and somebody must rebound now and then and

Walgreens ‘Volprentice’ challenge

Are you ready? Rural/Metro encourages 72-hour emergency supply kit Rural/Metro and our fellow public safety agencies have extensive response plans and resources in place to respond to major disasters, but it still may take time to reach everyone during such an emergency. It is important for individuals to be prepared. September is National Disaster Preparedness Month, which encourRob ages Americans to work Webb Division General together to take concrete Manager of actions toward emergency Rural/Metro preparedness. One such step is to create a 72-hour emergency supply kit. Recent storms and disasters across the world have demonstrated that it may take several hours, and even days, for first responders to reach everyone. Basic services like electricity, gas, water, sewage treatment and telephones could be cut off for a week or longer. Our team is trained and prepared to respond during a mass disaster. But to help protect yourself and your family until help arrives, Rural/Metro highly recommends that everyone have a personal 72-hour emergency supply kit. Items for a basic emergency supply kit include: ■ Water, one gallon of water per person per day for at least three days, for drinking and sanitation ■ Food, at least a three-day supply of non-perishable food ■ Battery-powered or hand-crank radio and a NOAA Weather Radio with tone alert and extra batteries for both ■ Flashlight and extra batteries ■ First aid kit ■ Whistle to signal for help ■ Dust mask, to help filter contaminated air and plastic sheeting and duct tape to shelter-in-place ■ Moist towelettes, garbage bags and plastic ties for personal sanitation ■ Wrench or pliers to turn off utilities ■ Can opener for food (if kit contains canned food) ■ Local maps ■ Cell phone with (auto) chargers Some additional items to consider include prescription medication and glasses, infant formula and diapers, pet food and extra water for your pet, weather appropriate clothing, important documents, matches and activities for children.

Central High graduate and UT senior Erin Norton had her feet firmly planted on what she thought was the perfect career path for her, but after participating in a UT class partnership with Walgreens, she’s considering a detour.

Anne Hart

On the second day of school this fall, Dr. Nancy Rutherford’s retail class (in UT’s Department of Retail, Hospitality and Tourism Management) heard from a Walgreens executive with a challenge: divide the class into five teams, each team develop a different UT-related product, Walgreens will sell each team’s product in a different one of five stores in the Knoxville market and the team that makes the greatest profit will be named the “2011 Walgreens Volprentice.” All jokes about Donald Trump and his “Apprentice” TV program aside, the students have taken this project seriously, and have learned a lot about doing real business in the real world.

Erin Norton and Jaime Bridgman model T-shirts they helped design for a UT class project sponsored by Walgreens. Photo submitted

Dr. Rutherford calls the project “very exciting,” and says of her students, “It’s amazing how creative they are.” Erin says it has been so much fun and such a great challenge that she may change her career path from women’s wear buyer in a department store or a boutique to product development. She says she and her fellow team members – Lee Smith, Taylor McCorkle, Jaime Bridgman and Nikita Johnson – with only two

weeks to develop a product and one week to get it produced, immediately decided to do a T-shirt or sweatshirt, designing several different logos before choosing just one – a checkerboard design. “We designed it with three-quarter length sleeves so it can be worn through the football, basketball and baseball seasons.” As part of the project, each team visited the store where its product would be sold to develop information about the demographics of

shoppers at that specific location. “We are in the Walgreens on Middlebrook Pike at Cedar Bluff Road,” Erin says. “We were told by the store manager that the typical shopper there is a middle aged woman buying for her husband and kids, so we had that in mind when we did our design.” After completion of the design, Knoxville’s Bacon & Co. produced the Tshirts. Last week Erin and her fellow team members were at the store setting up the display. Rutherford says the students won’t just sit back and wait for shoppers to stroll into the store. They’re now hard at work on various marketing strategies – social media included. The contest ends on Oct. 18, and here’s how you can participate: visit Erin’s team’s store on Middlebrook Pike or the other Walgreens participating in the project on Chapman Highway, Clinton Highway at Merchants Road, Northshore Drive near Kingston Pike or Peters Road at Kingston Pike. UT will receive a portion of the proceeds to fund instructional programs. If you do your holiday shopping early, you can choose the next “Volprentice.” Contactannehartsn@aol.com

NEWS FROM WEBB SCHOOL OF KNOXVILLE

Teach to Each By Angie Crabtree, Lower School Director Webb School of Knoxville

N

ot all students are alike, and not all students learn in the same way. Given the reality of those two statements, how do teachers in today’s classrooms address the challenge of “individualizing” instruction? At Webb School, the answer is largely through differentiated instruction. Differentiated instruction is an Angie Crabtree instructional concept that maximizes learning for ALL students – regardless of skill level or background. It’s based on the fact that in a typical classroom, students vary in their academic abilities, learning styles, personalities, interests, background knowledge and experiences, and levels of motivation for learning. When a teacher differentiates instruction, he or she uses the best teaching practices and strategies to create different pathways that respond to the needs of all learners.

Differentiated Instruction is an instructional concept that maximizes learning for ALL students – regardless of skill level or background. When a teacher “teaches to the middle,” the teacher misses at least 40 percent of the students within the classroom – 25 percent who need support and additional practice and 15 percent who need enrichment and a higher level of complexity relating to the content, process of learning or final product. In order to reach and teach all learners within a classroom, a teacher must implement the tenets of differentiated instruction in the research, planning and delivery of curriculum. Within a classroom that incorporates differentiated instruction as a model for instruction, a teacher examines his/her role within the classroom and incorporates the following tenets:

N A teacher understands the learning profile for each student to include strengths, weaknesses, interests, and multiple intelligences. A teacher must begin where the student is and develop a plan for progress; otherwise, the

Learning should be hands-on, rewarding, engaging, and thought provoking. Not all students are alike, and they deserve to be treated as individual, unique learners.

Through a variety of activities targeting individual needs, Webb students are provided with multiple opportunities for processing information and making sense of concepts.

Using differentiated instruction, Webb teachers increase the level of engagement in their students by structuring the classroom to work in small groups, enabling students to practice the skills of communication and collaboration.

teacher assumes that the student is ready for the content and that everyone is functioning at the same level. And in almost all classrooms, this is not the case. A teacher would gather data about the student formally (interest inventories, pre-assessments, parent input, and learning preferences) and informally (observation and discussion). From the data collected, the teacher would develop a pathway that determines the best approach to reach and teach the student.

Webb fourth grade teacher Beth Meyer works with Eli Davies on a math problem using an iPad app called ScreenChomp. The app allows students to draw and save work, record their voices and then share what they’ve done with classmates and teachers.

N A teacher engages students and allows them to be active learners rather than passive recipients of information. One method of increasing the level of engagement is to structure the classroom to work in small groups. Students may be grouped according to interests, strengths, weaknesses, personality, and/or ability. By working in small groups, students are able to practice the skills of communication and collaboration.

N A teacher must shift his/her paradigm to think photo album instead of snapshot relating to student performance – to collectively evaluate the progress a student is making over time – from beginning to end. As the teacher thinks about each student relating to where he/she is performing at that moment in time, the teacher may adjust the curriculum related to the complexity of the content being presented, the cognitive process of the learning or the final product from the student to reach and teach each learner. Learning should be hands-on, rewarding, engaging, and thought provoking. Not all students are alike, and they deserve to be treated as individual, unique learners. Differentiated instruction makes that possible.

Brain Boosters and more By Beth Meyer, Fourth Grade In fourth grade, students participate in a variety of activities targeting individual needs during Guided Math and Guided Language Arts, which are basically centers. Depending on their specific center plan, they participate in activities utilizing the Smart Board, their iPads, classroom laptops, and a mixture of other hands-on materials in the classroom. This gives students multiple opportunities for processing information and making sense of concepts. Also, during Guided Math and Language, the teacher is available for one-onone “coaching.” During the coaching

sessions, the teacher meets the child at his or her level of understanding. Each morning the students are given a “Brain Booster” activity, which is simply a formative assessment of skills and concepts introduced or to be introduced in math, language arts and social studies. Each day, the information gained from these assessments helps the teachers identify the students’ understanding and allows prompt adjustments in the curriculum and presentation of information. This student-based approach is the preferred alternative to expecting students to modify their learning to the teacher’s favorite style of presentation.

Local orthopedic surgeon invents ‘dog-bone’ implant normal position, allowing the body’s torn ligaments to heal.â€? “With surgery and this implant, patients will experience improved function, improved, if not eliminated, pain and get back to sport within six months,â€? Brady said. Brady performed the ďŹ rst Dog Bone implant in July. The patient is recovering well.

Device twice as strong as any other shoulder repair Paul Brady is a down-toearth guy, practical and enterprising. He’s also a boardcer tif ied orthopedic surgeon at Pa rk west Medical Center who has invented a shoulder implant Paul Brady, M.D. that is twice as strong as any other repair technique in existence for the Acromio-Clavicular (AC) joint. He’s pretty low-key about that, too. “Want to see one?â€? Brady asked, ďŹ shing his car keys from a pants pocket. The quarter-inch-long metal implant dangles from a string to his key fob, and by virtue of its shape is called the “Dog-Bone.â€? A sports fan, Brady graduated with honors from Wake Forest University School of Medicine. During his residency at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center, he was assistant team physician for the Wake Forest Demon Deacons football team. His sports medicine background inspired the Dog Bone when Brady learned of the AC joint injury suffered by Oklahoma Sooners quar-

Close up of Dog Bone Implant terback and Heisman Trophy winner Sam Bradford in 2009. AC joint dislocation is a relatively common injury in football and hockey players. Similar injuries have affected NFL quarterback Eli Manning and Michigan’s quarterback Tate Forcier. “Conventional repair to this type of injury involves drilling 4- to 6-millimeter holes in the clavicle (collarbone), which weakens the bone, involves persistent pain during recovery and has a mediocre success rate. I knew there had to be a better way,� Brady said. So he headed to Home Depot. Brady purchased several metal washers at the home supply retailer and went to work in his garage, milling a prototype which would become the Dog Bone. Then, he

tested the Dog Bone on fake shoulder bones, and results were outstanding. The concept was pitched to Arthrex, a company that specializes in orthopedic products and education. With input from Brady, Arthrex engineers tweaked the design, which now has been perfected and is in the process of being patented. The ďŹ rst Dog Bone implant was released in April 2010 on a limited basis. Brady expects wide distribution within coming months. “There are a couple of major beneďŹ ts of using the Dog Bone,â€? Brady explained. “First, it’s an arthroscopic procedure that involves three 1/4-inch incisions which is a signiďŹ cantly decreased risk from open surgery. The holes that are drilled into the bone are so

The ligaments and capsule connecting the bones can be injured to variable degrees depending upon the severity of the injury. It is commonly caused by a fall directly on the “point� of the shoulder. This type of

Common injuries of the shoulder Whether throwing a ball, paddling a canoe, lifting boxes or pushing a lawn mower, we rely heavily upon our shoulders to perform a number of activities. Normally, the shoulder has a wide range of motion, making it the most mobile joint in the body. Because of this exibility, however, it is not very stable and is easily injured. The shoulder is made up of two main bones: the end of upper arm bone (humerus) and the shoulder blade (scapula). The end of the humerus is round, and it ďŹ ts into a socket in the scapula. The scapula extends around the shoulder joint to form the roof of the shoulder, and this joins with the collar bone (clavicle). Surrounding the shoulder is a bag of muscles and ligaments. Ligaments connect the bones of the shoulders, and tendons connect the bones to surrounding muscle. Four muscles begin at the scapula and go around the shoulder, where their tendons fuse to form the rotator cuff. When the shoulder moves, the end of the humerus moves in the socket. Very little of the surface of the bones touch each other. Ligaments and muscles keep the humerus from slipping out of the socket and keep the clavicle attached to the scapula. To keep shoulders healthy and pain-free, it’s important to know how to spot and avoid common injuries.

One or more rotator cuff tendons may also become inflamed from overuse, aging, a fall on an outstretched hand or a collision. A torn rotator cuff is just one thing that can go wrong with the shoulder.

der becomes unstable when muscles and ligaments that hold it together are stretched beyond their normal limits. For younger people, this condition may be a normal part of growth and development. Shoulders generally stiffen or tighten with age. In athletes, shoulder instability is caused by activities such as tackling or pitching that put extreme force on the shoulder. Symptoms of shoulder instability are pain that comes on either suddenly or gradually, a feeling that the shoulder is loose or a weakness in the arm. Treatment may be rest, physical therapy or surgery. A shoulder separation, also called a sprain, occurs when the ligaments that hold the clavicle to the roof of the N Shoulder instability shoulder tear. If this hapShoulder instability occurs pens, the clavicle is pushed when the shoulder feels like it out of place and forms a might slip out of place. It oc- bump at the top of the shoulcurs most often in young peo- der. Sprains are common in ple and athletes. The shoul- falls, when the hand or arm

is outstretched to stop the fall, or when the fall is on a hard surface. Symptoms are severe pain when the sprain occurs, a misshapen shoulder and decreased movement of the shoulder. Treatment depends on the severity of the sprain. Ice applied immediately after the injury helps decrease pain and swelling. Keeping the arm in a sling to limit the movement of the shoulder allows ligaments to heal; this is followed by physical therapy exercises. Sometimes, surgery is needed. If the ligaments that hold the shoulder muscles to bones tear and can’t hold the joint together, the shoulder is dislocated. A fall onto an outstretched hand, arm or the shoulder itself, or a violent twisting, can cause a shoulder dislocation. The main symptom is pain in the shoulder that becomes worse when the shoulder is moved. Treatment for a dislocation

is ice applied immediately after the injury to decrease pain, swelling and bleeding around the joint. Within 15 to 30 minutes of the injury, the joint will be painful and swollen. A dislocated shoulder needs immediate medical care. Doctors treat dislocations by using gentle traction to pull the shoulder back into place. When the shoulder pops out of the socket repeatedly, the condition is called recurrent instability. Recurrent instability can be treated with surgery to repair the torn ligaments.

N Rotator cuff tear The rotator cuff is a group of four muscles of the upper arm that raise and rotate the arm. The muscles are attached to the bones by tendons. The job of muscles is to move bones. The tendons of the rotator cuff allow the muscles to move the arm. If the tendons tear, the humerus can’t move as easily in the socket, making it difďŹ cult to move the arm up or away from the body. As people age and their physical activity decreases, tendons begin to lose strength. This weakening can lead to a rotator cuff tear. Rotator cuff injuries occasionally occur in younger people, but most of them happen to middle-aged or older adults who already have shoulder problems. This area of the body has a poor supply of blood, making it more difďŹ cult for the tendons to repair and maintain themselves. As a person ages, these tendons degenerate. Using your arm overhead puts pressure on the rotator cuff tendons. Repetitive movement or stress to these tendons can lead to

injury can cause signiďŹ cant pain and tenderness at the front of the shoulder joint, especially when an athlete attempts overhead movements such as throwing. Diagnosis is made with a physical exam and x-rays. “Sometimes, the patient will notice something sticking up in his or her shoulder,â€? Brady said. “The Dog Bone implant is a type of washer that will secure the clavicle back down to its

impingement, in which the tissue or bone in that area becomes misaligned and rubs or chafes. The rotator cuff tendons can be injured or torn by trying to lift a very heavy object while the arm is extended, or by trying to catch a heavy falling object. Symptoms of a torn rotator cuff include tenderness and soreness in the shoulder during an activity that uses the shoulder. A tendon that has ruptured may make it impossible to raise the arm. It may be difďŹ cult to sleep lying on that side, and you may feel pain when pressure is put on the shoulder. Treatment depends on the severity of the injury. If the tear is not complete, your health care provider may recommend RICE, for rest, ice, compression and elevation. Resting the shoulder is probably the most important part of treatment, although after the pain has eased, you should begin physical therapy to regain shoulder movement. Your doctor may prescribe a nonsteroidal anti-inammatory drug (NSAID) for pain.

N Frozen shoulder This extreme stiffness in the shoulder can occur at any age. It affects approximately 2 percent of Americans, most often between 40 to 60 years of age. Although the causes are not completely understood, it can affect people with diabetes, thyroid disease, heart disease or Parkinson’s disease. It can also occur if the shoulder has been kept immobile for a period of time. It occurs when a minor shoulder injury heals with scar tissue that affects how the joint moves. This scar tissue reduces exibility in the shoulder and makes

it more prone to injury. The major symptom is the inability to move the shoulder in any direction without pain. Treatment can be NSAIDs, cortisone injections or physical therapy. You can reduce further injury and stiffness by stretching before starting activities.

N Overuse/strains Sudden increases in activity can place extensive stress on the shoulders and lead to a decrease in exibility. This is a common problem in middle age, especially among “weekend warriors,â€? or people who don’t exercise regularly but go out every now and then for an intense sport. Although painful and inconvenient, these overuse problems can usually be treated with rest, NSAIDs and stretching exercises.

N Arthritis Beginning as early as age 50, some people develop osteoarthritis, which causes painful movement. This occurs as the smooth surfaces of the cartilage that line the bones of the shoulder joint are worn away, and joints begin to wear out and become larger. The most common cause of osteoarthritis is overuse. Treatments for arthritis in the shoulder depend on the severity of pain. The usual treatments are rest, NSAIDs and cortisone injections. In some instances, a replacement of the shoulder joint is necessary. Information contained in these stories should not be construed as medical advice.

Picnic at Elmcroft

Huber has a voice that is perfect for the Big Band era and she brings life to every tune she sings. “They just don’t make songs like they used to,” said Geri Johnston, who dressed up for the occasion. She not only puts her heart into every song she sings, Huber also gives the audience a brief history of each selection. Did you know that the song “Somewhere over the Rainbow” almost didn’t make the cut for “The Wizard of Oz?” Huber told the audience that the song was thought to be “too slow” for the movie, but fortunately someone made the decision to include it in the film. Huber shared classics such as “As Time Goes By,” “Dream a Little Dream” and “Blue Skies,” and it was nice to hear audience members sing along, remember and smile.
