By Suzanne Foree Neal A lot of little kids want to grow up to be firefighters. Mark Gorman spent the last four years making it a reality.

At 18, he’s the youngest member of the crew at Rural/Metro’s Station No. 41 on Campbell Station Road and a recent graduate of the company’s fire academy.

Along with firefighter training, he also completed requirements to be an emergency medical technician.

Gorman says a friend introduced him to the Explorer program, which is sponsored by the Boy Scouts. He tagged along to check it out and soon was spending weekends at the fire station.

“I was getting my feet wet,” says Gorman, a 2012 Bearden High School graduate. “I came here to see what the job was about, meet the guys, hang out and go on calls.”

Now an academy graduate, Gorman says, “I’m living my childhood dream. I was going through some pictures recently, and there

was one of me with a fire hat on.”

While living his dream, he’s also living at the fire station. “It’s an experience because you never know when the alarm is going to go off,” he says.

The crew is much like a family. They eat meals together and hang out in the common areas when not on call. Gorman’s living quarters resemble a college dorm room. He’s still trying to figure out how to squeeze in everything.

While an Explorer, Gorman estimates he’s ridden along on about 1,200 calls. The majority were medical or car accidents, with some fires. “People call us on the worst day of their lives,” he says. “They thank you when you leave, and I know it sounds cheesy, but it’s really a good feeling.”

Continuing his education is a goal he’s set.

He wants to be a certified paramedic. “I definitely knew I didn’t want to sit behind a desk, so I got as far away from that as possible,” he laughs. “I like getting dirty. If you’re not dirty

The Hillcrest-Carter connection

By Sandra Clark Knox County Commission may vote this month to sell property that is home to 500 individuals and employs 500 more. The residents range from indigent seniors to the disabled.

The Other Paper let Mayor Tim Burchett get away with saying that while he may take political heat for selling the Hillcrest properties for half ($5.275 million against $11.3 million) of appraised value, he’s doing it for the seniors.

Analysis We submit that he’s doing it to pay for Carter Elementary School.

And that’s a steep price to pay.

Knox County needs another $6 million to fulfill its contract for the Carter school. The contract calls for the transaction to conclude between June 1 and July 15, 2013.

A quick $5.275 million from the Hillcrest Healthcare Communities could solve the Carter problem, but would leave a myriad of unanswered questions. For instance: ■ What happens to the residents and staff if the new owner decides to build condos?

■ What happens if the new owner defaults on a loan, having used the property as collateral?

Hillcrest management has hired Moxley Carmichael public relations and attorney Arthur Seymour Jr. to make its case.

They’re spinning at full speed.

Meanwhile, the commission chair, Tony Norman, has placed another item on the JanuTim Burchett ary agenda. Cosponsored by Burchett, it would require money acquired from the sale of county assets to go toward debt retirement. While specific properties are not named, it begs the question of how the $6 million Carter deficiency would be covered if this resolution passes.

Finance director Chris Caldwell says the proposed Hillcrest sale is not about Carter. There are other properties available for sale to close the gap, he said, and “the folks from Hillcrest approached us.”

The Tazewell Pike property that includes Beverly Park and par-3 golf course will be retained by the coun-

ty, Caldwell said.

Cynthia Moxley, CEO of Moxley Carmichael, said 70 percent of Hillcrest’s residents are supported by TennCare. Repairs are needed.

Hillcrest cannot borrow for upgrades without using the property for collateral, she said. In setting the sales price, Knox County considered the $2.3 million already spent for improvements by Hillcrest and the estimated $1.6 million needed to tear down the old tuberculosis hospital (not used for patients) and an old water tower.

Seymour said nonprofit corporations such as Hillcrest Healthcare operate under more restrictive laws than for-profit corporations. For instance, a nonprofit must notify the state attorney general prior to selling or leasing its assets or merging with another entity. The AG can intervene if the nonprofit’s assets are being misapplied or wasted, or it is no longer able to carry out its purpose.

He suggested that Knox County could be liable for clean-up of hazardous waste sites or if “it knows or should have discovered the existence of some dangerous condition.”

Mike Ragsdale tried to sell Hillcrest facilities a few years back, but

Paying for Carter Under its agreement with Carter School developer Partners Development, the county will swap $13,879, 334 for a key to the finished building by July 15, 2013.

Mayor Tim Burchett boldly promised to raise the money by selling unneeded county assets. To date, almost $10 million has been collected toward the project: ■ $892,550 – JP Morgan settlement ■ $2,010,000 – Solway mulch facility and adjacent park ■ $943,818 – City of Knoxville payoff of Animal Center ■ $2,500,000 – Knox County Schools Capital Plan contribution ■ $3,419,250 – E-911 payment for building

The clock is ticking on the remaining $4 million (plus $2 million for furnishings).

was rebuffed by commissioners concerned that the sale price was too low or worried about the future of residents and staff.

It’s a different day with a new mayor, but those concerns remain.

Hooked on bridge

By Wendy Smith

Mary Ellen White of Fox Den has been playing bridge for more than 50 years, but she didn’t get hooked on American Contract Bridge League bridge until eight years ago, when a friend, Pat Wilson, invited her to a tournament in Gatlinburg. Even though they were both new to sanctioned Clarence Patten and Mark Gorman, both firefighters and emergency medical technicians, enjoy play, they won awards and redowntime in the living area of Rural/Metro’s Station 41 on Campbell Station Road in Farragut. ceived attention.

Mary Ellen White EasyBridge begins at 1:30 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 20.

The first six lessons are free, and without commitment.

Subsequent lessons are $5.

Jim Ricker, who will help teach the session, compares learning bridge to learning a foreign language – you begin by counting to 10, and add words as you progress.

Last year, 88 students came to the first EasyBridge lesson. He would like to have

100 this year. Participants don’t need to bring a partner. Students are matched with partners as they learn.

Tournament play is one of the things Mary Ellen enjoys most about the game.

She and Pat attend tournaments in Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg and Tunica, Miss., each year. She’s an avid golfer, but she gave up golf tournaments when she started attending bridge tournaments so as to not be away from home too often.

In addition to the evening games she plays at the bridge center, she gets together with a group of women who combine bridge with lunch.

Bridge is fun for all ages, says Jo Anne Newby, who recruits new players at the center. Info: KnoxvilleEasybridge@gmail.com or 539-4150.

Safety concerns top Education Committee meeting

By Suzanne Foree Neal The concerns at home following the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., reached the ears of the Farragut/ Knox County Schools Joint Education Relations Committee at the group’s meeting last week.

Guests Chris Malone, an architect, resident and parent of two Farragut Intermediate School students, and Farragut Mayor Ralph McGill spoke about safety and other issues.

Malone, who indicated he had also spoken to Superintendent Dr. Jim McIntyre, attended the meeting to discuss some fi xes he says can make school lobbies and buildings more secure.

“I can walk into the (Far-

ragut) Intermediate School and go anywhere I want,” Malone said.

“Small changes can be made to the architecture of the schools to improve safety. We need to create more safety in lobbies. Make people have to go through the office.”

Malone also would like to see “father figures” become more visible in schools to present a positive male role model for students. He’s done research on some national programs like Watch D.O.G.S. (Dads of Great Students).

Such programs are volunteer-based, and male participants fill a variety of needs from assisting teachers to providing extra security.

“Do we feel something like that would improve our schools?” he asked the committee.

Committee chair Mark Littleton said Malone’s idea “dovetails into some concerns the mayor has gotten.”

He said the committee cannot set school policy, but the members could talk to the schools they are assigned to assist “and find out if it would be beneficial and if it would work.”

Malone said he was grateful for the committee’s effort to gather feedback and plans to continue the discussion.

Mayor McGill had three points to discuss with the committee, with school safety being the first.

His second was a plan to tap into the number of

nationally-known experts living within the town as a resource for schools.

Third, the mayor outlined plans for creating a teen council similar to what he has seen in other towns.

Members would be students who express an interest in public service careers.

On the school safety issue, McGill said he’d received many emails concerning the Connecticut school shooting.

“Mostly people were expressing concern about armed police in schools,” he said.

On professional resource, he said, “Let’s recognize that this town of some 20,000 is probably one of the most educated towns in the state,” he said. “Half our residents have been to college and many have a PhD.

“This resource of people known nationally is something we should bring to schools.”

McGill is himself wellknown internationally for his work with alternative and advanced motor fuels.

“We have people who could probably talk about any subject,” McGill said.

“I’ve talked to (Dr. Jim) McIntyre, and he says, ‘Sounds good,’ but somebody has to do it.

“We have great resources here and ought to be using them. We could probably recruit a lot of people.”

Committee member Russell Barber suggested creating a registry of people for the schools to use.

McGill wants to create a town-administered Teen

Council like he has seen in many towns around the country.

“It’s mostly high school students, because they’re mature enough,” McGill said of the makeup of the council.

“You bring them in and let them take a deep dive into what it takes to be a public servant.”

The committee discussed “talking points” for public officials to use when discussing schools and school needs with the business community.

McGill said he discussed the schools with Costco Warehouse Club management at the store’s grand opening.

The next meeting for the education relations committee is 4 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 5.

government Wine now?

Wine-no When Beth Harwell and Ron Ramsey (leaders of the state House and Senate, respectively) announced that they’d decided to support grocery stores selling wine, Tennessee oenophiles started doing a happy dance.

Betty Bean Now that Trader Joe’s has come to Tennessee, could Two Buck Chuck be far behind (even if it is $3.99 a bottle now)?

Next year, we’ll be able to grab a snow day bottle of cab along with our milk, bread and toilet paper!

Maybe, maybe not.

One school of thought is that the two leaders are saying one thing publicly while privately reassuring opponents of grocery store wine (a powerful coalition of liquor interests and Baptists) something else entirely.

Last week, the wine no-votes (hereafter known as the wine-no’s) got a boost from the state’s police chiefs and sheriffs, who got together and started calling themselves Tennessee Law Enforcement for Strong Alcohol Laws and denounced the notion, citing the dangers of making box wine more accessible to underage drinkers who are always looking for an angle.

KPD chief David Rausch brought it home with a warning about butt chugging.

When reminded that the police chiefs also support gun control, Rep. Bill Dunn, who sounds like a wine-no vote but says he’s willing to listen to the arguments, had a semi-serious, answer: “Are you asking for consistency?”

Dunn sounds like he’s thinking hard about the question but leaning toward the wine-no side.

“We work on so many issues where we see how much pain alcohol causes.

Maybe there should be a little taboo out there,” he said, recalling the time he heard a Tennessee Bureau of Investigation chief declare that 90 percent of his agency’s budget was necessitated by drug and

alcohol abuse.

Plus, he pointed out that there’s more to the discussion than questions of alcohol abuse.

“By law, liquor stores cannot sell anything else, and there’s a one person, one store rule in effect now. We’ll have to look at those laws. And we’ll have to define grocery stores.

Would somebody be able to set up one of those stands in the mall? It’s a lot more complex than just whether to sell wine.”

The pro-wine forces are led by big supermarket chains who are sponsoring a “Red, White & Food” lobbying effort. Smaller, regional chains worry about problems with new layers of bureaucracy and regulation as well as the dangers of weeding out would-be butt chuggers.

Rep. Ryan Haynes is non-committal, but says sooner or later the prowine side will prevail. He sees some ironies, though.

“The free-market Republicans are in control, but at the same time a lot of them are screaming ‘Let’s help the mom and pop businesses.’

“And any time there’s a liquor bill, no matter what it is, automatically, you probably have 30 ‘no’ votes, from both sides of the aisle. Throw in 20 more who say they’re going to help their small business guys, and that’s enough to keep it bottled up. Still, it has a better shot of passing this year than it ever has.

“If I represent grocery stores, I’d say we’re not going to allow it in gas stations. But big grocery stores and convenience stores share lobbyists – that’s one of the big sticking points. Some of the grocery stores have hired their own lobbyists.

“Do we really need wine in gas stations?”

A rep who preferred to remain anonymous hinted that the whole thing is a waste of time.

“A lot of legislators just want it to go away.

You don’t go down to Nashville to bring wine to grocery stores. It’s going to pass, but I just don’t know when. Usually when a bill keeps coming back like this, that’s what happens, so if I’m talking to a liquor store owner, I’d tell them it’s not like you haven’t been forewarned.”

Ray Jenkins reflects, predicts As the Knox County Republican Party prepares for its biennial reorganization, we asked Ray Jenkins, term-limited after two terms as party chair, to assume the role of the Roman god Janus for us.

You remember Janus – the one for whom January is named. He was the fellow with the ability to look both forward and backward. Jenkins agreed to play along and look back on his time as the party’s leader and forward to what he thinks lies ahead for the GOP both locally and in Nashville.

His response: “As I look back on the past four years, I realize how much I am truly going to miss chairing the Knox County Republican Party. It has been a great ride and we had some very good times.

“We were very successful in electing great Republican candidates and reelecting great Republican officeholders. The GOP now holds every county-wide non-judicial office, and we have increased the number of Republican judges as well. County Commission is 82 percent Republican, with only two seats held by our friends across the aisle.

opponents are neighbors, sometimes friends, our children go to the same schools, we may even go to the same church. So I have always urged our candidates to disagree without being disagreeable.

“What has made (the job) such a joy is the volunteers who come and work in the office and on campaigns and do it out of a love for the party – and they do that no matter who is chair, sometimes in spite of who is chair!

“I am thrilled at the number of announced candidates for the leadership so far. I have encouraged people to get involved and compete for this and I think it shows great potential for the party as we move forward.

“Each of the four candidates – Buddy Burkhardt, John Gabriel, Ken Gross and Ruthie Kuhlman – have their strengths, and this contest will reveal how connected and influential they are within the party. As a candidate, I know there are two ways to run a campaign – unopposed and scared as … well, scared. But I think the competition is good for the party and will make the candidates better in the long run.

“The next chair will preside over one of those ‘big tickets’ in 2014. They happen every eight years as the judges and district attorney join the every-four-year cycle candidates – most of the constitutional offices and part of County Commission, as well as the court clerks.

Office building plans zoom over first hurdle

By Suzanne Foree Neal An idea to build up instead of out by Myers Bros.

Holdings is one step closer to changing the landscape in Farragut. The proposal also created a domino effect that led to a new business district zone and other changes.

Both the new zone and the plans for a four-story office building in front of Renaissance Farragut garnered approval from the Board of Mayor and Aldermen, handily passing on first reading.

Several other ordinances that arose out of the developers’ request also passed on first reading. These will change how certain construction elements are handled.

Ordinance 12-20 will establish wall-mounted light heights and require glare shields on pole lights.

Both are intended to cut down on glare reflecting on nearby residential areas. Wall lights can be mounted no higher than 15 feet. Their purpose is to

This drawing shows the planned four-story office building by Myers Bros. Holdings, which is one step closer after approval on first reading by the Farragut Board of Mayor and Aldermen.

light a small area around a building. Glare shields are intended for use on taller pole lights that are used to illuminate parking lots. If the lights sit higher than nearby homes, they will have to incorporate the shields.

Pole light problems surfaced with the construction of the Costco Warehouse Club building that sits higher than houses in Powell

Acres. The same problem is being addressed by the soon-to-open Publix grocery store and its neighboring subdivision.

Passage of the ordinance will address this problem on the front end with the Myers Bros. Holdings project adjacent to Renaissance Farragut and in front of Old Stage Hills.

Ordinance 20-21 will require that HVAC screens

on buildings be architecturally compatible with the building and also renames that section as Accessory Structures and Uses. The ordinance requires the units on top of buildings to be screened.

Ordinance 20-22 creates the new commercial zoning district named Business District 4. This designation not only allows for taller buildings, it will also allow reduced building setback requirements, which means parking lots can be placed at the side or behind a building.

The new ordinance also will be more restrictive than C-1 General Commercial District.

Outdoor sales and drive-through restaurant windows will not be allowed with a Business District 4 designation.

Ordinance 20-23 is the first domino that started these changes. Myers Bros. Holdings requested rezoning of an out parcel

in the Renaissance Farragut development for a four-story office building.

When committees and the board began to look at the request, the other issues came to the forefront. “I want to thank Myers Bros. for bringing this to us,� said Alderman Ron Honken. “There is great potential for this zone on the north side of the interstate and along Outlets Drive.� Alderman Bob Marki said he was glad to see someone thinking outside the box.

Assistant coaching may be hazardous to your health Choosing to be an assistant football coach is something like going to the races.

You might win big or lose big.

The trip may be very exciting, even an unforgettable adventure, but don’t bet the house on the wrong horse.

Assistant coaching is a better job than mixing mortar and lugging cinder blocks. It is more challenging than loading trucks. Salaries are very good but there are problems and risks.

Best payoffs for assistants – championship rings, job security and maybe a shot at becoming a head coach – come from partnerships with successful coaches or a good grip

their games if you count the available Akrons and Georgia States, but, alas, some don’t.

Recruiting is critical as blood. Assistant coaching requires many nights on the road and doesn’t offer many opportunities to stop thinking football. Can’t count on rivals resting.

If children are involved, assistant coaches should plan and practice a just-incase explanation: “Defeat doesn’t mean daddy is a bum.”

“Moving is an exciting educational experience. It will be fun to see new places and meet new friends.”

When your life is linked to whether a focus-free receiver runs the right route

or whether a befuddled safety makes the correct read, hang loose.

That several previous Tennessee assistants really wanted to stay is not surprising. For most, this was the best job they have ever had. Money was well above average.

Among the dearly departed, only Jim Chaney hit the jackpot. Arkansas will pay him $550,000 for coaching. Tennessee will pay $600,000 for not. Sal Sunseri came down a full notch but, considering his success rate, he isn’t doing too badly.

Others were less fortunate. UT contracts will be honored in periodic installments but that does not can-

cel out disappointment.

I felt for Darin Hinshaw, 38, Central Florida guy, father of four. He worked his way up from Middle Tennessee State, Georgia State and Memphis to be an important cog at Tennessee.

Ron McKeefery was here part of a year as strength and conditioning coach.

What happened probably wasn’t totally his fault but unhappy results rub off on all concerned – including Angela, James, Tyler, Ava and Maya.

No matter how tough you are, assistant coaching can be hazardous to your health.

friends added, “But sometimes He excels!”

All of us laughed, but I, like Mary, “treasured these words, and pondered them” in my heart. (Luke 2: 19) God does excel!

God knows our needs, our dreams, our longings.

God also knows our fears, I was talking to two life. I said, in all sincerity, sins, our shortcomings, friends, telling them about “God is good, all the time.” our failures. the newfound joy in my To which one of my Every now and again,

however, God chooses to offer us a miracle, a blessing so unexpected, so breathtaking, so … well … excellent, it stuns us and leaves us speechless, humbled, awed, dazed, dazzled.

In such a moment, we must be fully aware. We must recognize the gift for what it is: God’s grace poured out because God loves us, is crazy about us, sinners that we are!

We must also acknowledge that God knows our longings, our dreams. God knows the holes in our hearts, and seeks to fill them up with His love.

Our task is to be open, accepting, thankful, willing to be loved by such a

God. We must open our hearts (and minds) to God’s will for us, God’s plan for us, God’s dream for us. Always, we are free to demur, to decline, to rebel. But we do so at our own peril.

Here is the question, however: why would we reject God’s will? Why, indeed?

Since God’s will allows for our own free will, God does not force us into obedience; God allows us to decide.

God’s will for His own children is always good.

Sometimes, when we don’t understand what God is up to, when we can’t see around the bend, we wonder if God is asleep, or indifferent, or just plain grumpy.

Occasionally, I recall the advice a college professor gave me when I was a student at the University of Tennessee. He said, “Be where you are supposed to be; do what you are supposed to do. Everything else will take care of itself.”

That is vague, one might claim. It gives no real direction to one’s actions.

Yet, if you consider the advice, it required of me a certain amount of examination of my impulses and actions.

It required considering consequences. It required weighing the possibilities.

And it required putting my hand into the hand of God.

Old computers are needed

Help Goodwill during Project Wear and Share

The East Tennessee Technology Access Center, a nonprofit agency that helps people with disabilities, is in need of used Windows XP computers or anything newer. All computers must be in good working condition.

The staff at ETTAC adapts the computers with specialized software and hardware before giving or loaning them to clients to enable them to pursue educational or employment goals.

Computer hard drives will be erased before being reused. All donations are tax deductible. Computers can be dropped off at ETTAC, 116 Childress St., from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. Info: 219-0130 or visit www.ettac.org.

Goodwill Industries has partnered with local dry cleaners for Project Wear and Share to help collect donations during February. Once the clothing is donated, participating dry cleaners will provide complimentary cleaning before it is picked up by Goodwill for resale.

All proceeds from the sales of the donated clothing will help Goodwill provide vocational services and employment opportunities to individuals with barriers to employment.

The more than 30 dry cleaners participating are listed on Goodwill’s website. Info: 588-8567 or visit www.gwiktn.org.

on the coattails of a rising star.

Merit is relevant. The good-old-boy network is not as comfortably dependable as it once was. The business is more results-driven.

Because there is some up-or-down uncertainty in the coaching profession, it is best to rent. And don’t discard boxes and packing materials from the previous move.

Of course assistant coaches go in both directions. There are magnificent promotions and discouraging terminations. That’s the link to most of the pain.

Those determined to stay in the game, no matter what happens, should stay single or negotiate a prenuptial arrangement.

Patience, poise and flexibility are key words, a fair exchange, I suppose, for really good seats and free refreshments in a private booth in the press box, sheltered from weather and caustic critics.

An honest prenuptial should include a few clues about reality: Bowl bonuses are not guaranteed. Almost everybody can win half

Two British productions take the stage at Christ Covenant

By Sherri Gardner Howell It is good to have faith in what you are doing. Dave Park with Infusion Ministries has no hesitation in summing up two Christianbased theater productions Infusion will bring to Knoxville: â&#x20AC;&#x153;No one will leave untouched,â&#x20AC;? Park says.

The two productions will first be presented in partnership with Christ Covenant Church, 12915 Kingston Pike, on Sunday, Jan. 20. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Questioning Aslanâ&#x20AC;? will be at 3 p.m., and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chariotâ&#x20AC;? at 7 p.m. The two-person plays are products of Searchlight Theatre Company, a British com-

pany that Park discovered several years ago. Admission price for each performance is $5. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Questioning Aslanâ&#x20AC;? takes place in the den of famed Christian author C.S. Lewis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;British actor David Robinson plays C.S. Lewis, who is in conversation with one of his young students named Tellar,â&#x20AC;? says Park. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tellar isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t antagonistic toward Lewisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; beliefs, but he just doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get it. In asking the questions to his mentor, who just happens to be one of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best Biblical scholars, Tellar learns from Lewis.

In a scene from â&#x20AC;&#x153;Questioning Aslan,â&#x20AC;? Tellar, left, played by Michael Taylor, probes the beliefs of author C.S. Lewis, played by David Robinson. The British production will be performed at Christ Covenant Church on Jan. 20. Photos submitted â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lewis answers with scenes and quotes from his books, including â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Narniaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Screwtape Letters.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; The audience is challenged through the discussion. Most will walk away really blessed, and some will make a decision to receive Christ as their savior,â&#x20AC;? says Park. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chariotâ&#x20AC;? is the story of famed Scottish runner Eric Liddell who opted out of running his best event in the 1924 Olympics in Paris because the heat was held on a Sunday. Liddell went on to not only excel as a runner, but as a missionary in China, where he died at the Weihsein Internment David Robinson as Coach Tom McKerchar talks to Michael Tay- Camp. His story was the lor, who is portraying Eric Liddell, in this scene from the play basis for the movie â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chariâ&#x20AC;&#x153;Chariot,â&#x20AC;? which will be performed at Christ Covenant Church ots of Fire.â&#x20AC;? on Jan. 20.

Gabe Loving with Christ

Covenant says the churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worship center will seat approximately 500 people for each performance, and that the community is invited and encouraged to attend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a fascinating group, and you really feel you are transported to C.S. Lewisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; den,â&#x20AC;? Loving says of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Questioning Aslanâ&#x20AC;? production.

Parkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first introduction to Robinson and Taylor of Searchlight Productions was something of divine intervention on its own.

Visiting at a church in Belfast, Ireland, Park wanted to visit the house where C.S. Lewis was born, but no one could really guide him to it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find it,â&#x20AC;?

remembers Park. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At random, I stopped a couple on the street and told them we were looking for C.S. Lewisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; home. They said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our house!â&#x20AC;&#x2122; We were able to visit them and see where Lewis was born. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The next Sunday, I was sharing with the congregation where I was visiting about the experience, talking about how God gives you these little kisses from heaven. Unbeknownst to me, the entire acting company of Searchlight Theatre was visiting the church for the worship service that morning. They came up after the service and invited us to come see the production they were doing nearby of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Questioning Aslan.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; That

was the start of our friendship and of bringing the productions to the U.S.â&#x20AC;?

Other Searchlight Theatre productions scheduled

Frosty stops by Farragut Right before winter break, the faculty at Farragut Intermediate School surprised students with a visit from “Frosty the Snowman.” Pictured with Frosty are school principal Kay Wellons and bookkeeper Karen Whitney. Photo submitted

“These students have developed certain traits such as respect, responsibility and trustworthiness,” said school principal Kay Wellons.

Assistant principal Lisa Styles experienced the students’ good citizenship first hand during the program. “They have each shown why they were selected while accepting their awards by saying, ‘thank you, thank you very much,’” she said.

In addition to the citizenship awards, the Admiral Spirit award was also presented to those students who are on the verge of the good citizenship award, according to Wellons. The spirit award was created a few years ago upon the request of the teachers who saw a need for additional recognition for certain students.

Some students were also recognized for their efforts in the Reflections contest which included a poster and literature competition.

After awards were handed out, the Reverend Harold Middlebrook talked to the students about “being somebody.” The former friend of the Reverend Martin Luther King used the example of George Washington Carver, who “saved the south and saved America” by showing farmers in Alabama how to grow peanuts, eventually making them into peanut butter af-

Shopper-News Presents Miracle Makers

A hear t for kindergar ten

By Wendy Smith To enjoy teaching kindergarten, you have to not mind being touched, or needed, or occasionally being called “Mommy.” It’s not for everyone, says Angie Johns, but it’s definitely for her.

Kindergartners may have to work harder now than they did in past years, but their teachers make sure it’s fun.

If they love school early on, they’re more likely to stay enthusiastic about learning, Johns says.

This is her seventh year of teaching kindergarten at A.L. Lotts Elementary School, but her association with the school is much longer. Her children – ages 23, 20 and 15 – all attended A.L. Lotts. Including her teaching career in Georgia, Johns has taught kindergarten for 14 years.

She’s witnessed many changes, like this year’s transition to full-day kindergarten. It’s been nice, she says, because it allows for more in-depth teaching.

“We always felt like we were moving too quickly, because we had so much to cover.”

It’s a long day for little people, and there were those who nodded off at the beginning of the year. But it was just a matter of building up stamina, Johns says. “I’m amazed at how quickly they all adjusted.”

She’s also experienced leaps in classroom technology. She remembers being skeptical when the smart board was first installed in her room because she liked writing on her white board with markers. Now, she mostly uses the white board as a magnetic bulletin board. The smart board works especially well for teaching math and handwriting, and students enjoy using it, too.

“It is amazing to me, every year, that I can show them one time how to use the pen or the wand, and they’ve got it.”

She can also check out iPads from the school to use in the classroom. The applications and games on the iPad are perfect for kindergarten, she says.

A. L. Lotts, like many other schools, is using coupon book money to purchase more iPads.

The academic bar for kindergarten has moved since Johns started teaching at A. L. Lotts.

Kids are expected to be able to write

sentences by the end of the year, and the reading level has gone up, too.

Academically, this is Johns’ favorite time of the year. After Christmas, everything comes together, she says. This is when the building blocks she introduced in the fall – letters, sounds and reading strategies – all start to click. And it’s exactly why she enjoys teaching kindergarten.

“I’ve always said that there’s growth at every level. But in kindergarten, you really see it. They’re such physical creatures. They can’t

Good school habits, like being able to sit for 10 minutes, pay attention and follow directions, are important.

“We can teach academic skills,” she says.

While it could be said that kinder-

garten builds the foundation for all future learning, kindergarten teachers rely on those who teach upper grades for merit pay. Those who teach kindergarten through second grade don’t have value-added growth because their students don’t take TCAPs. Instead, merit pay is based on school growth, says Johns.

Power to the baby boomers!

Baby boomers are the folks born from 1946 to 1964 and are 81+ million strong in the U.S. They account for 28 percent of the U.S population but more than half of the nation’s purchasing power according to a recent study by the Research Institute for Cooking & Kitchen Intelligence (RICKI).

A pull-out shelf is convenient under the built-in oven.

Many boomers are choosing to remain in their current homes as they age. Aging in place means the ability to live in your own home comfortably and safely for as long as possible. As people remodel their homes, they’re including Universal Design products—a design concept that meets the needs of people with varied abilities. It considers people with age-related problems, people who are tall or short, as well as those with various physical or mental impairments. It also acknowledges that abilities change over time.

What Aging in Place DOES NOT mean is that your home renovations have to look institutional! Kitchens and bathrooms typically require the most alterations. Here are some practical, but stylish suggestions to keep that cozy feel.

Bathroom manufacturers are offering comfortable walk-in tubs, roomy seated showers, stylish easy-to-use faucets and higher toilets to create a beautiful, safer and more comfortable bathroom.

• Walk-in tubs come as soaking units with built-in chair height benches and grab bars. Options include hydrotherapy features such as air and whirlpool or pumps for faster draining.

• Walk-in showers are available in several sizes with low to zero thresholds for easy access. There are choices of benches, seats, shelves and grab bars.

Most install easily for Walk-in or roll-in showretro-fit remodels. er with bench, grab bar • Plumbing fixtures and hand-held shower such as touch-free & adjustable slide bar faucets and adjustable hand-held shower heads are both available with temperature controls to prevent scalding.

• Toilet heights of 16-17” are taller and safer. Adding a raised toilet seat will add more height.

Universal Design options are plentiful for creating a userfriendly kitchen. Evaluate how your kitchen flows. Eliminate tight spaces and obstructions that may, at some time, become a safety issue.

Cabinets have a lot of flexibility.

For easier access, wall cabinets may be installed lower and base cabinets Walk-in tubs available with air and whirlpool massage.

higher. Include pull-out, roll-out or lift shelving for less bending.

Soft close door hinges and drawer glides simplify opening and closing.

Deep toe kicks on cabinets will accommodate wheel chairs.

Appliances can be installed based on height requirements.

Raise a dishwasher or lower microwaves, cooktops and built-in ovens to accommodate your need.

Again, cabinets can be adjusted.

Don’t forget lighting lighting! Our eyes change as we age; less light reaches the retina and the sensitivity to glare increases. Uniform ambient (primary source) lighting and

Having fun with Newton’s laws Farragut Middle School 7th-graders Leslie Byrd, Zeke Pratt and Charlie Schlicker study Newton’s Second Law of Motion in Elizabeth MacTavish’s class by rolling a marble down a ruler and into a plastic cup to see how far the marble makes the cup scoot on the floor. The law is as follows: “The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.” The marble produced a much simpler explanation.

Strong December powers 2012

It’s a different kind of ‘frog’

By Sherry Witt

The business has a “made you look” kind of name.

The Sweet Frog management team at the Turkey Creek store includes, from left, Linda Kidd and Jim and Janice Dudley.

Sherri Gardner Howell

When Sweet Frog opened in Turkey Creek in July, I was pretty sure it was going to be an accessories shop.

You know the kind – lots of cute little trendy bracelets, necklaces, shoe-lace charms and backpack zipper trinkets that the middle-school crowd loves. Or, perhaps a trendy gift shop.

Sweet Frog, however, is neither of those things. It is a premium frozen yogurt shop. And the Frog in the name means more to the founders – and to the managers of the Turkey Creek store – that just a cute, “made you look.”

Founded in 2009 in Virginia by Derek Cha and his wife, Annah Kim, Frog is actually an acronym that stands for Fully Rely On God. Cha and Kim founded their business on Christian principles and wanted that represented in the business name.

The Turkey Creek Sweet Frog is a partnership between friends who embrace the “Frog” concept. Linda Kidd and her sons, Brandon and Darin, and Janice and Jim Dudley are the franchise owners and managers of the Farragut store. The Dudleys

Jim and Janice Dudley, co-managers of Sweet Frog, show how to get a tasty treat started. and Linda are the on-site workers most of the time. The Farragut store is Linda’s second Sweet Frog, with her first one back home in Virginia, where her two sons also live.

The Dudleys are from Virginia, too, and Linda, Jim and Janice are still debating when and who will move permanently to Farragut.

The Kidds and Dudleys were friends before they were business partners.

Linda says she “strategically” convinced Janice to work for her when the radiology clinics Janice managed in Virginia were restructured by the corporate office. Jim also got caught in a downsizing in the printing business where he had made his career.

“My thought was if I could get Janice hooked on the business, she would be a great partner for my second shop,” says Linda, shame-

lessly. Janice agrees: “I was tricked!”

Linda’s journey had been a difficult one as well. She and her husband had experience running their own businesses, including an interior design business that Linda was heavily involved in. But when her husband died two years ago after experiencing some health problems, and she says she found herself in need of a new career. “I wanted to do something so I could take care of myself, but I didn’t want to do what we had done together.”

All three say they were looking for “something fun that would make people happy,” says Linda.

“Coming from a background in a medical business, I was used to a lot of sadness,” agrees Janice. “I wanted to be somewhere that was a happy place.”

All also embrace the Sweet

Would you like a horse?

Frog philosophy of giving back to the community, says Linda. On a national level, the company supports the wartorn country of Burundi by sponsoring 19 children. Locally, Farragut’s Sweet Frog is reaching out to area schools, athletic teams and non-profits with ideas for fundraisers using their store and their products. Interested groups should email Sweet Frog at sweetfrogknox@gmail.com.

“We know what it is to Fully Rely On God,” says Linda.

“This business is where we want to be for so many reasons.”

Sweet Frog Premium Frozen Yogurt is located at 10901 Parkside Drive, near Earth Fare in Turkey Creek.

A strong December closed out the year for the local real estate and mortgage lending markets.

December brought us 788 property transWitt fers, 81 more sales than occurred in November. It also bested the December 2011 totals by nearly 200 transfers.

The aggregate value of properties transferred this December was just over $200 million, surpassing November by some $55 million.

December was especially strong on the lending side, producing about $461 million in mortgage loans and refinancing. That’s nearly $100 million past the mark set in November. For the calendar year, 2012 saw about $360 million more in mortgage lending than 2011.

The largest property transfers of the month involved commercial developments. One was for the property on Hardin Valley Road

where Food City is located, which sold to White Realty and Service Corporation for $7.25 million. The other was the former Robert Shaw property at Fulton Bottoms.

The future site of a large retail development known as University Commons sold for around $8.2 million.

In mortgage transactions, the largest was the financing for the University Commons, which came in at $50 million. Coming in second was a loan involving Wesley Park at Deane Hill Apartments for just under $23 million.

We are certainly hopeful that the trend set during the latter half of 2012 will continue into 2013 and beyond, and that the housing market will move toward full recovery.

Those of us in the Register’s office, as well as all of Knox County, lost someone very special last week. Mary Lou Horner was a friend and mentor to many. Her tireless devotion to her community and compassion for people, both as a citizen and as a commissioner, was a true example of what a public servant should be. Mary Lou will be dearly missed by all.

Williams joins TSB ■ The Farragut West Knoxville Chamber of Commerce has unveiled a new logo for the new year. The Chamber celebrated its 25th anniversary last year and had an anniversary logo that was used during the year. For 2013 and beyond, the new logo features the traditional anchor and Farragut blue.

Brainstorm International worked with the Chamber to create the new brand.

Jack Williams has joined Tennessee State Bank as vice president and community banking officer at the Powell branch, located at 7500 Old Clinton Highway.

“Jack’s experience will be an immediate contribution to our success,” said Todd Proffitt, president and CEO. “I am pleased that he chose to be a part of our team.”

Williams is a graduate of Farragut High School and holds a bachelor’s degree and MBA from the University of Tennessee. He is also a graduate of the Tennessee

Bankers Association, Sout heastern School of Commercial Lending.

He and his wife, Hayli, have Williams a son, Blake, 18, and a daughter, Lexi, 15.

Williams is the head coach for the Farragut High School freshmen boys basketball team and head coach for the freshmen girls AAU for the Tennessee Fury Organization.

Sugar Plum is an 18-yearold former rental horse. She is very healthy and up to date on shots, Coggins, deworming and farrier care. While we've not had time to evaluate her under saddle (she is scheduled to be ridden tomorrow), we are very hopeful that she is a calm and sensible horse under saddle.

She is approx. 14.3h tall.

We do have Open House and Adoption Day this Saturday from 10 am-2 pm. Our Tack Shack will be open that day as well for anybody shopping for horse equipment ranging from saddles to bridles to boots and blankets. All items in the store are donated and proceeds benefit Horse Haven.

‘Housekeeping’ meeting includes new member

By Suzanne Foree Neal The Rotary Club of Farragut has a new member by way of a new town festival.

The festival was the town’s first Oktoberfest, the brainchild of Restaurant Linderholf owner Aaron Schmissrauter, who became the newest member of Rotary Club of Farragut at Wednesday’s meeting.

Schmissrauter approached Noah Myers of Myers Bros. Holdings and owner of Renaissance Farragut about helping him put on Oktoberfest. Myers suggested it would be a good fundraiser for his Rotary club. That’s how Schmissrauter became aware of the club and its missions. “I’ve known Aaron for nearly a year and am impressed by his enthusiasm,” Myers said.

Schmissrauter, a Maryville College graduate, worked for the restaurant’s former owner. When the opportunity arose to buy it, he and his father, Mark, got into the restaurant business in Farragut. Myers kidded the new member about his extracurricular activities in college: piano and wresting. “I’ve never known anyone who did both of those things,” Myers quipped.

Myers, who knows a good volunteer when he sees one, recruited Schmissrauter for membership. He makes No. 72 for the club that meets weekly at noon on Wednesdays at Fox Den Country Club. Schmissrauter’s father traveled from Chattanooga for the occasion.

Ed Jones, secretary, reported that last year 82 percent of members attended

the weekly meetings. The first Wednesday of the month is a “housekeeping meeting” with speakers filling the remaining Wednesdays. Todd Galanti, manager of Costco Wholesale Warehouse Club, will fill the speaker’s seat for the Jan. 16 meeting.

Michael Singletary reported that 20 volunteers from the club had a share in helping the Salvation Army raise $650,000 this holiday season. One of Santa’s elves reported that Singletary’s violin skills helped stuff the kettle during his two-hour shift. “It got a little cold at times, but we had fun and were glad we could participate,” Singletary said.

The club will participate in World Rotary Day Saturday, Feb. 23, with a fi x-up day at Pond Gap School at 1401 Hollywood Drive.

Downtown Rotary officers The 2013-14 Rotary Club of Knoxville directors are: (back) Mark Webb, Jay Secor, Jennifer Sepaniak, Anita Lane, Rachel Ford and Rob Johnson; (front) Wes Stowers, Jason Hamilton, president Bob Samples, president-elect Dr. Roy King and Ed Anderson.

Fine Arts Developments

By James A. Cowart, Paideia Academy Headmaster

Paideia Academy is committed to providing a quality Fine Arts program. As the school has grown, that vision is becoming more of a reality.

This year, the school added both music and art faculty members.

All students attend music and art classes weekly throughout the school year. They are receiving instruction that is age-appropriate and challenging. Class sizes are limited to allow for maximum participation and interaction with their instructors.

In Paideia’s art classes, students are being exposed to the rich history of art in Western civilization. They also study the elements of quality art so that they can imitate the masters as they make their own artistic contributions.

Their music classes blend instruction in appreciation of musical genres with the foundational elements of theory.

The goal is to produce students with skills in both vocal and instrumental performance with an appreciation for quality music.

As part of Paideia’s classical Christian education, its Fine Arts program contributes to each student’s development of wisdom and virtue through truth, goodness, and beauty. Students are advised that the study of art and music is beneficial to all people rather than limited to just student is better able to know, glorify, and enthose with special talents.

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM PARKWEST, WEST KNOXVILLE’S HEALTHCARE LEADER • TREATEDWELL.COM • 374-PARK

Sleepless no more Skeptic finds all is quiet on the home front The nightly battle on L&L Lane is finally over. After eight long years, Lou Sexton is sleepless no more.

No more snoring, no more gasping for breath, no more terrible dreams, no more moving from the bed to the recliner and back again. His acid reflux has eased and so has that confounded ringing in his ears. No, all is quiet now on the Sexton home front, a small brick house just off Howard Baker Highway in Huntsville, Tenn.

“I’ve had to eat my words,” 72-year-old Lou says. “I thought it was a waste of time, but this is for real. This is gen-u-ine.”

Sexton is talking about the sleep study he had at Parkwest Medical Center’s Sleep Disorders Center and the diagnosis that led him to finally strap on a CPAP (Continuous Positive Airflow Pressure) machine. It’s a funny-looking device – similar to the one he’d been teasing his wife about wearing for the past few months.

“He’d say, ‘Good night, Miss Piggy,’ ” Louise Sexton said, rolling her eyes and shaking her head.

But now she’s getting the last laugh – and a good night’s sleep, and so is her husband.

“I used to wake up at night and watch him sleep,” said Louise. “I’d watch the way he’d breathe, and it was like he would stop breathing and then gasp for breath, and then he’d start breathing again.

And his stomach … I don’t know how to explain it, but his whole stomach would kind of just roll and move around. He did that over and over again all night long.

That really worried me. I thought he was going to have a stroke or a heart attack or just go to sleep and not wake up.”

Despite her concerns, Lou refused to see a doctor about his unusual breathing until he encountered problems during a recent surgery. It was only after his cardiologist, Dr. Robert Blacky, heard of his problem and set up an appointment with Dr. Berta Bergia at the Sleep Disorders Center that Lou agreed to give it a try.

In her examination, Bergia learned the full extent of Lou Sexton’s battle. For the past eight years, Sexton had dreaded nightfall when he would wage a nightly war against gastroesophageal reflux, tinnitus and frequent trips to the bathroom.

No sooner would he go to bed than he’d have to get up and move to a recliner in another room. After three or four hours, he’d return to bed and sleep awhile before he would awaken and return to the recliner. It was a ritual that would be repeated two to three times every night.

By daybreak, Lou Sexton was so exhausted he was too tired to go work in the electrical, heating and refrigeration business he operated with his son. “I was really worn out when I got up in the morning,” he said. “I’d be so tired that I’d eat breakfast and then lie down on the couch and doze until about 10 or 11 every morning.”

Bergia wasn’t surprised. With an 18-inch neck and overweight,

Lou and Louise Sexton are now getting their best sleep in almost a decade.

… to signs of sleep apnea

Snoring can be a sign of sleep apnea, but not everyone who snores has sleep apnea.

Snoring, gasping and sleepiness are the three main warning signs of sleep apnea, but there are certain traits and physical characteristics that may mean you are at increased risk: Thick Neck – A thick neck (greater than 17 inches for men, 16 inches for women) has more fatty tissue that can block airways.

Sugar, Sugar – Diabetes? It’s another risk factor.

A Guy Thing – Men are twice as likely as women to have sleep apnea.

Huff ‘n’ Puff – Still smoking? Puffing on cigarettes increases your sleep apnea risk.

The High Road – High blood pressure is common among sleep apnea patients.

Old Enough – Any age person can have sleep apnea, but it is more common among men 40 and older, women 50 and older and in adults older than 60.

Weighty Issue – Risk of sleep apnea increases with the amount of excess body weight – for adults, that’s a body mass index (BMI) of 25 or higher.

Do Your Genes Fit? – Sleep apnea can appear often among family members, but it’s not known whether this is because of inherited traits or common lifestyles.

Is This How You Roll? – One of the more dramatic indicators of obstructive sleep apnea is the abdominal cavity “roll.” This is when the stomach moves in an effort to generate enough force to overcome the obstruction, at which point the patient will gasp for air or make a very loud snore once the breath is finally taken. This causes a tremendous strain on the heart and can lead to a heart attack or stroke.

In addition, the significant reduction in levels of oxygen saturation that occur because of the breath holding also strain the heart and brain, increasing the risk of stroke and heart attack.

Sleep: The body’s repair shop Lou Sexton may have thought sleep studies and CPAP machines were a “waste of time,” but he’s since discovered the value of sleep medicine.

That’s no surprise to Dr. Berta Bergia, director of Parkwest’s Sleep Disorders Center and a diplomate of the American Board of Sleep Medicine, who says that sleep medicine is now considered a very important part of the field of medicine.

“Sleep had been considered unimportant until the last 20 years or so when research started demonstrating not only the importance

Lou Sexton was a prime candidate for obstructive sleep apnea, a condition in which the flow of air pauses (“apnea”) or decreases (“hypopnea”) during breathing while asleep because the airway has become narrowed, blocked or floppy.

During the first half of the study, Sexton slept with the aid

Dr. Berta Bergia

of treating sleep-related breathing disorders because of health problems associated with them, but also the importance of sleep in general and deep sleep (slow-wave sleep and REM sleep) in particular,” said Bergia. “Deep sleep is necessary for memory development and retention, for weight management, hormonal regulation, mood regulation and in control of inflammatory disorders. As a result of better understanding of how deep sleep is involved in a variety of important biological functions, a greater respect for the importance of sleep in general has developed.”

of a sleeping pill while a bevy of machines monitored his brain waves, oxygen levels, respiratory effort, heart rate and leg movements. It took only a short while before Bergia’s suspicions were confirmed – Sexton had severe obstructive sleep apnea.

While almost everyone has brief apnea episodes while they

tive sleep apnea was clear, Sexton was awakened and fitted with a CPAP to determine the optimal pressure needed to overcome his obstructions and allow for clear breathing and restful sleep. He slept the remainder of the night without any problems.

Since being fitted with the CPAP, Sexton says his life has changed dramatically. The device he once ridiculed as a “waste of time” he now credits with either easing or eliminating many of his ailments.

He says he’s making fewer nighttime trips to the bathroom and his acid reflux has eased. So has the ringing in his ears, and those “worried dreams” have become pleasant dreams instead.

While such ailments would seem unconnected to sleep apnea, Bergia says there is a correlation.

For example, the frequent visits to the bathroom may not be a bladder issue at all.

“People with obstructive sleep apnea often complain of frequent night time urination (nocturia),” said Bergia. “This is because of poor sleep and insufficient deep sleeping causing reduced levels of a hormone which is secreted that reduces the need to urinate at night. Once the sleep apnea is corrected, the person is able to sleep better, attain sufficient deep sleep and, therefore, have less need to urinate at night.”

Acid reflux can also be aggravated by sleep problems, she said.

“Obstructive sleep apnea causes increased pressure in the abdominal cavity because you’re trying to breathe through the obstruction,” Bergia said. “This is like blowing up a balloon all night. As a result, the gastric juices are pushed up into the esophagus. Once the obstruction is alleviated with CPAP or other treatment, the reflux improves.”

As for the nightmares, Bergia explains it this way: “People with sleep apnea have very restless sleep. They fight and toss and turn all night, frequently also having a lot of leg jerks. This is because of the frequent awakenings that occur when the breath is stopped by the obstruction, and the patient has to awaken to breathe. As a result, unpleasant dreams and dreams of suffocating or drowning occur. Once the sleep apnea is controlled, these symptoms resolve.”

It’s little wonder that Lou Sexton has gone from skeptic to advocate.

“I really thought the CPAP would annoy me a lot in sleeping, but it doesn’t,” he said. “I feel a lot more rested when I get up in the morning. Now, I go out on a job and try to keep the guys going. If a person has acid reflux, not sleeping and a lot of problems getting up and going to the bathroom, I recommend that they go get checked out. It might even save your life because sleep apnea can really mess you up in a lot of ways.”

sleep, more than five apneas per hour is considered abnormal.

“And if the person has more than 30 apneas an hour, it is considered severe,” said Bergia. “Mr. Sexton was waking up about 90 times per hour to catch his breath and as a result had very fitful sleep with For more information, almost no deep sleep at all.” visit www.TreatedWell.com Once the diagnosis of obstruc- or call 373-1975.

Throughout his career, Geno’s dream has been to record good clean rock and roll.

In 2006, he produced and released the album “Ménage a Faux Pas.” He is currently completing recordings with The Playback and performed several of these songs at the “Mighty Musical Monday.”

Leila Lott and Pistol Pete Photo by Kathy Kear

Small blessings When Leila Lott had to give up horseback riding for medical reasons several years ago, she was heartbroken.

“I’ve had horses since I was 12,” says Lott, owner/operator of Estate Solutions in South Knoxville. “I love the connection – working with them, bonding with them.” She thought those days were over.

Then she met Pistol Pete.

He has an official name – it’s long and complicated and included in a registry somewhere, but “I can’t ever remember what it is. I just call him ‘Pistol Pete.’”

Pistol Pete is a miniature horse.

Bred from many sources including miniature ponies and full-sized horses, mini horses are small ani-

ville and is passionate about the breed. He comes from a horsey family and grew up around horse shows, but he has concentrated on minis for about a dozen years.

“I chose them specifically,” he says. “I love these horses.

People assume they’re just cute little pets, but they are serious animals and should be treated with dignity.”

With 25 horses on his property, he coaches them and their owners – who come from all over the country and range in age from 5 to 80 – to compete in categories such as driving, jumping and obstacles. And he’s proud to point out that all of his clients have won national and/or world championships.

Mini horses’ even temperament and natural sensitivity make them ideal therapy animals suitable for work with nursing home residents and stroke victims. Wardlaw has had several physically-handicapped clients, including an amputee.

All of that is impressive to Leila Lott, but she mostly just wants to visit, train and love Pistol Pete.

with help from surrounding neighbors in the “barn raising” style. He used it to cure tobacco for more than 40 years.

The barn is “drive-thru style,” so wagons can be loaded indoors. This large 44 x 60 foot barn has a wood foundation supported only by fieldstones. The use of fieldstones was likely a cost saving measure since most barns built in the ’40s had masonry foundations.

The barn is positioned very close to the road, almost close enough to touch as you drive by.

The tobacco barn does not generally have a particular design. When the tobacco industry was at its peak, barns were found everywhere crops were grown. The barns were an essential part of the air-curing process. Some are disappearing, but others are finding new uses. For some, they’re a place to dry garlic.

Smith may eventually use his as a backdrop for wedding photos.

Thank you for the response from readers who shared their own barn history. We will feature these in the upcoming weeks.

By Shana Raley-Lusk With the Knoxville Marathon just around the corner, many local runners are training to get their bodies in peak condition and ready to perform.

Provision Health and Wellness is offering them a new opportunity to get the most from their fitness routines through a yoga program geared specifically toward endurance athletes.

Although yoga and running lie on opposite ends of the exercise spectrum, the two need not be mutually exclusive. In fact, running and yoga make an excellent

marriage of strength and flexibility. While running tightens and shortens the muscles, yoga restores, elongates and loosens them.

A tight muscle is inflexible and prone to injury.

This stiffness can cause everything from injury to the actual muscle to changes in the way your body moves, which can in turn cause other injuries. Since the muscles act as the body’s shock absorbers, it is ideal for them to be soft, supple and malleable. Yoga is the ultimate solution in this scenario, as it elongates the muscles and makes them

become more pliable.

The pain that some runners feel is not caused by the act of running itself, but from imbalances that running causes and exacerbates. Yoga’s internal focus is known to center the attention of participants, helping them to focus on

the actual movements of the body rather than an external outcome. Therefore, runners can use the practice of yoga to balance strength and increase range of motion while also training the body and mind.

“Why Do They Keep Coming to this Doctor?…”

(Who admits to curing no one) Dear friend, I’ve got to tell you something that I’ve never said out loud.

But, what I’m going to tell you makes so much sense that you’ll probably get mad that no one told you this before.

I’ve been a doctor in this town for more than 10 years now, and to this day I’ve never cured anyone.

You may think that the word would get around and that no one would come to me anymore. The opposite is true. The more people who understand, the more people come to see me.

Several times a day, patients thank me for helping them with their health problems, but I can’t really take the credit. I’ve never healed anyone of anything. What I do is perform a specific spinal adjustment to remove nerve pressure, and the body responds by healing itself. And, we get terrific results.

That’s why our office is filled with people who have found help nowhere else.

Years ago, something happened to me that changed my life forever. Let me tell you my story.

I’m a medical student at the time, and I’m working hard at it. That is, until it happens…

Somehow, I start to get terrible pain in both my hands and feet.

I still remember how awful it is.

The pain in my hands and feet gets so intense that it’s unbearable to touch anything, or even wear socks.

To say the least, I’m scared. And that’s not all...

Eventually, I can’t even walk because of the pain in my feet. My blood pressure and heart rate are sky high! I’m admitted to the hospital, where they do every test they can think of, and the doctors still can’t say what’s wrong. I’m terrified that I may never walk again.

After two weeks in the hospital, I’m only getting worse. My insurance runs out, so they put me on powerful painkillers and send me home.

But, there’s more…

adjustment doesn’t hurt, it actually feels good. Over time, I get relief.

I can use my hands and feet again, and my blood pressure and heart rate are normal. Oh, did I mention that this doctor is a chiropractor?

Chiropractic works so well for me, and I’m so impressed with the other “miracles” I see in his office, that I drop out of med school and head straight to chiropractic school.

“I now have long-term relief from my headaches.”

(A. B., Karns, 16) “I have had back and hip pain for two years. After two months of chiropractic care, the pain was 95% better. I also had severe pain in my arm, hand, and neck.

After three weeks of chiropractic, the pain was gone!” (Roberta S., Oak Ridge) “My neck pain is gone, and I can feel my fingers again!”

(T. S., Karns) “The last time I went to my Rheumatologist, he couldn’t find any pressure points caused by Fibromyalgia!”

(F. C., Karns) “Since I have been coming to see Dr. Andy, I have not had any ear infections.”

(Hayden, 2 years)

Andrew D. Scoles, D.C. Let me tell you about Zachary, my son (the cute one in the picture!).

He’s 5 years old. He’s a very happy and healthy boy! Can you believe that Zachary’s been getting adjusted since he was only 5 minutes old? Why? He’s very active and constantly falls down, just like all little kids. These falls, and even the birth process, affect the spine.

That’s why we see so many children in our office.

People from Knoxville, Karns and the Hardin Valley areas bring their kids to see me. They also come to me with their: • • • • • • • • • • •

Headaches Fibromyalgia Migraines Chronic pain Neck pain Shoulder/arm pain Whiplash from car accidents Backaches Numbness in limbs Asthma Allergies

Finally, my mom convinces me to see her doctor. This new doctor does an exam, takes some films, and then ‘adjusts’ my spine. The

Here’s what some of your neighbors had to say:

E R F

just to name a few…

Tens of millions of Americans no longer have health insurance, and those who do have found that their benefits are greatly reduced. That’s where chiropractic comes in. A seven-year study compared costs of people seeing medical providers vs. chiropractors. Overall, the patients seeing chiropractors had 60% fewer hospitalizations, 59% fewer days in the hospital, 62% fewer outpatient surgeries, and 85% lower costs for prescription drugs.

Many people find that they actually save money on their health care expenses by seeing a chiropractor.

Another way to save: peer-reviewed published studies show that chiropractic may increase immune system indicators, naturally and without drugs. The immune system fights colds, the flu and other sicknesses, so you may not be running off to the doctor as much. This is especially important if you are selfemployed. And an entire week of care in my office may cost what you could pay for one visit elsewhere.

Special Offer - Look, I know you’re smart. You want to get to the cause of your problem, and not just cover it up with drugs. When you are one of the first 20 people to call

eaker? p S t n e v E E

and schedule a new patient exam (by January 31, 2013) you’ll receive that entire exam for $17. That’s with x-rays, paraspinal thermal imaging….the whole ball of wax, and there’s no hidden fees. But, call right away because we expect to be flooded with calls, as this exam normally costs over $200. Again, there’s only 20 of these slots, so don’t miss out.

Our goal is to give you the best care we can possibly give you. You’ll get great care at a great fee. My qualifications: I’m a Summa Cum Laude graduate of Life University.

I’ve been entrusted to take care of all kinds of people from tiny babies to senior citizens. In 2002 my wife, Dr. Jennifer, and I moved to Knoxville (Karns). I just have that low exam fee to help more people who need care.

My assistants are Amanda and Steven, and they are very loving people. Our office is both friendly and warm, and we try our best to make you feel at home. We have a wonderful service at an exceptional fee.

Our office is called Scoles Family Chiropractic, and it’s at 7555 Oak Ridge Hwy. (we are across from Dollar General in Karns). Our phone number is 865-531-8025.

Call Steven or Amanda today for an appointment. We can help you.

Thank you, and God Bless.

Andrew D. Scoles, D.C. P.S. When accompanied by the first, I am also offering the second family member this same examination for only $7.

P.P.S. Your time is as valuable as mine. That’s why most of our patients are in and out of our office in less than 10 minutes for adjustments.
