Miracle for Evie Jessica Ashton was 34 weeks pregnant with her second baby when she received news no mother wants to hear. A routine ultrasound showed fluid in Jessica’s baby girl. On April 5, 2011, a specialist diagnosed the baby with non-immune hydrops, an abnormal collection of fluid in at least two areas: the skin, abdomen, space around the lungs or the pericardial sac around the heart.

No way to know “Ten years ago, when Doug Dickey was finishing up as athletic director at Tennessee, dear friend Nancy Siler and I had an interesting conversation about potential replacements,” Marvin West writes. “Her candidate was Bill Schmidt. “Nancy said he met all requirements. He had been an Olympic athlete and a Tennessee coach, a Chuck Rohe assistant. He had a Master’s degree in business with emphasis on accounting.”

By Betsy Pickle Learning is its own reward. But winning prizes for learning somehow feels even better. That’s what came across as 12 students at Farragut Middle School were recognized for their achievements in the C-SPAN StudentCam 2013 documentary competition. In front of local dignitaries, proud family members and peers, the StudentCam winners were praised and honored May 8 in a ceremony in the FMS gym. All members of the 8th grade C-SPAN class taught by Karen Rehder, the students, working in teams of three, created five- to eight-minute-long videos with the

theme “Message to the President: What’s the most important issue that the president should consider in 2013?” Parin Bhaduri, Austin Hoag and Nalin Varma won first prize in the middle-school category for their entry, “Public Transportation in the Nation.” Not only did they receive a ceremonial giant check for $3,000 (they’d already been given the smaller, legal version, split three ways), but they also received a commendation from U.S. Sen. Bob Corker. Three FMS teams won third prize: Lauren Fiet, Tali Graham and Eunice Baek for “A Game of Risk: Israel and Iran”; Grace Shoff-

ner, Julia Hammon and Maggie Murr for “Education Across the Nation”; and Delaney Weller, Lauren Dickerson and Maggie Olson for “Inefficient Government Spending: The Foundation of Our Debt.” All 12 received a proclamation of congratulations from Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey, at the request of state Sen. Stacey Campfield. C-SPAN representative Doug Hemmig introduced the winners and elicited reactions from them, while Mayor Ralph McGill and Superintendent Dr. Jim McIntyre shook their hands. “I come here every year, seems like,” said Hemmig. Indeed, FMS has won at least one prize yearly

Getting that ‘vol’ spirit into schools By Sherri Gardner Howell The Little Engine That Could will have to pick up some steam to overtake the Farragut/Knox County Schools Joint Education Relations Committee in perseverance. For five months, this committee of civic-minded volunteers has been trying to do a good thing for Farragut schools, and it just keeps getting more and more complicated. Here’s the idea in a nutshell: Enrich the curriculum and education of students in the Farragut schools by drawing on all the expert knowledge found in

the Farragut citizenry. The idea came first from Mayor Ralph McGill, who proposed it in early January as a project for the committee. Committee members jumped on the idea and started with a query to their contacts in the Farragut

Analysis schools. Many reported a lukewarm response, with teachers citing too much mandatory curriculum to think about anything else. But there were a few – those little points

of light – who said, “Oh, if I had known an architect, an engineer, a chef for this or that, how that would have enriched the study or project.” So the committee kept going. Next was to see just how someone goes about volunteering to help in the schools. That led to a Knox County Schools website where volunteers fill out a form outlining how they would like to help, submit it and wait to hear from the schools. A couple of committee members filled out the form to test it. They heard nothing. But, they were hearing from some principals

since starting participation in the StudentCam contest in 2007. The biggest haul was in 2011, when Rehder’s students earned one first prize, two second prizes, four third prizes and one honorable mention. “This is getting to be a habit,” said Mayor Ralph McGill. “And it’s a good habit. The accolades that come to this school as well as the other schools in Farragut just blow us away. We’re not paying tuition to go to those schools, we’re paying taxes, but they are great schools.” This year saw a record number of entries, Hemmig said, with To page A-3

and businesses and professionals that this idea had merit, so they kept gathering information and having conversations with school officials. And they are still digging (see the story on page A5), because this is an idea that has no down side. It is good for the teachers because they have a resource that will give added value to concepts they are teaching. It is good for the professionals and business owners because they get to share their knowledge with today’s students. And it will be good for the schools, because it will get today’s professionals and businesses into the schools. They will see all the good, and all the needs. And we are Volunteers, so they will want to help.

Not back yet: Moncier’s struggles continue By Betty Bean Not so fast, Mr. Moncier. That’s the message Herb Moncier received from U.S. District Court after a newspaper article announced that he is once again practicing law in federal court after serving a five-year suspension for contempt of court for disobeying a judge who ordered him to shut up. He says he doesn’t know exactly what he must do to be reinstated. “Evidently there’s a glitch,” he said. “Now I’m being told there’s something more I have to do. I did not expect to be in the position that I’m in today after 43 years of practicing law – at the center of this controversy. “I’ve cancelled three appointments this week with

new clients who wanted to hire me to be their attorney in federal court.” Actually, Moncier’s pretty much always been in the center of controversy, whether for representing a Group W Bench full of infamous criminals or for forcing the local political establishment to comply with laws that they’d just as soon ignore, and doing it with a frequency, bluster and degree of success that members of the political establishment have found maddening. His highs are stratospheric, his lows tragic. And they’re almost always public. As one friend says, “Good or bad, things happen big to Herb.” Herb’s father, James C. Moncier, was a successful entrepreneur who founded

a chain of 17 Easy Way Five & Ten Cent Stores and acquired three cattle farms where he raised registered Aberdeen Angus. Every spring, Herb, a lifelong animal lover, would adopt a calf to raise and show at the fair in the fall. And every year it was the same – the trauma of selling the calf to the highest bidder, always the White Stores, inevitably followed the triumph of winning a blue ribbon. “I knew where the calf that I slept with at night in the barn (at the fair) was going to end up, and as long as the White Stores were in business, I would never eat beef from there. I wouldn’t even walk by the counter,” he said. To page A-4 Herb Moncier at work

Coffee Break with

ter Haley begins a year-long Grand Prix Horse Jumping competition to qualify for nationals. It will be exciting and fun. Another one is to continue to expand our veterinary medicine services, which we are doing in 2014. I also want to continue to progress toward my previous level of fitness after my heart attack last year. And, my fantasy since childhood, the Cubs in the World Series during my lifetime!

What is one word others often use to describe you and why? Funny.

If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?

Alan Gassel

Sweetie and Tinker Bell were ready for their “closeup.” As Dr. Alan Gassel prepared to have his picture taken for this week’s Coffee Break, two of his six dogs wanted their turn in the limelight. Alan was only too happy to indulge them. Keeping pets happy – and healthy – has been his life’s work. Alan is a veterinarian and the owner/founder of Concord Veterinary Hospital at 11904 Kingston Pike. Originally from Chicago, he moved here in 1977 and opened Concord Veterinary Hospital in 1979 at the site where the office still sits. “We opened in a trailer behind where we were building the office,” says Alan. “The area was different then, not as built-up and more of an eclectic mix of people. We shared a wall with the Big T Market, which many of the people here will remember. We built this new building in 1995.” Alan has a daughter, Elisa, who lives in the Boston area. He and his wife, Wendy Graziani, who have been married for 21 years, have a daughter, Haley, who attends Midway College and keeps things jumping in the Gassel home – literally. “Haley is a competitive jumper and has two horses and a busy competition schedule,” says Alan. They also have a horse farm, and Haley not only competes with her horses but is majoring in equine rehabilitation and physical therapy. Answering the “Bucket List” question had special meaning for Alan. He knows first-hand the importance of not taking things for granted. A runner, Alan had a heart attack in February 2012 when he was running in the Myrtle Beach Marathon. “Runners are a great community,” he says. “A fellow runner saved my life. We went back this year and ran the half-marathon together. This whole Farragut area is a true community. So many people reached out in so many ways and with their prayers. It was pretty overwhelming.” People who love their pets are a pretty impressive community, too, says Alan. Over the years, veterinary medicine has benefited from all the changes in technology and medicine. “As people’s attitudes toward their pets have grown and deepened, modern medicine and those in the pet business have grown right along with it. I believe people have always had a special love for their pets, but domestic pets used to be more ‘outside’ animals. Now they sleep in the bed with you. They have become more integrated into

C-SPAN

From page A-1

1,893 films submitted by middleand high-school students from 44 states, the District of Columbia and Taiwan. Students decide which issues to address, and part of their video must include supporting footage from C-SPAN. (The winners may be viewed at www.studentcam.org.) The idea is to get students to think about issues affecting their

communities and the nation. After the ceremony ended, Rehder explained how the contest benefits the C-SPAN class, a combination reading/language-arts honors class. “We use the C-SPAN StudentCam documentary contest as the vehicle to move our curriculum,” she said. “It’s worked beautifully for the past few years. It’s interesting and challenging for your high-level student.

“I’m able to do everything I need to do within the framework of the documentary process with the exception of literature skills, and that we just plug in when we can. Everything else – the research, the media, the language, the writing, the logic, the thinking and interpretation – is all through the project here.” “I would love to have 10 more of Karen Rehder,” said principal Heather Karnes. “It’s a big, big job. … And what an experience these children are getting. It’s just phe-

nomenal, and it prepares them very well for high school.” Some participants go on to study journalism or filmmaking in college, Hemmig said. “We haven’t done a ‘where are they now?’ but we know from keeping in correspondence with some of them they’ve pursued either journalism or film or some kind of creative arts in college,” he said. Parin liked the public-affairs and filmmaking aspects of the competition, while Austin said he

TVA also has to know that this issue going to trial is but another loser for TVA in terms of hours spent on the case.

Magistrate Clifford Shirley presided at the conference following Judge Tena Campbell’s decision to allow the issue to go to trial.

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation is a joke. And that’s the kindest description of the bungling bureaucrats who have botched political corruption investigations for years. If not inept, try overly political or even corrupt as a descriptor. The biggest joke may be the slogan atop the TBI website: “Truth. Bravery. Integrity. That guilt shall not escape nor innocence suffer.” Say what? We’re still waiting for those Ragsdaleera indictments. And now folks are asking about Trustee John Duncan. ■ On March 18 at the Halls Republican Club, Duncan said he could not comment on legal difficulties in his office because of an ongoing TBI probe. ■ In April at the Democratic Club in Karns, Attorney General Randy Nichols said he could not proceed until the TBI investigation of the Trustee’s Office wrapped up. ■ Last week, TBI spokesperson Kristin Helm told this newspaper, “at this time I am not able to confirm nor deny” that an investigation is ongoing.

Not back yet

By December, however, he’d stepped in a mess of trouble when he handed out $3,000 bonuses to employees who were not entitled to them, including himself. These “incentive payments” rewarded employees who had completed the County Officials Certificate Training Program to become certified public administrators. The following October, he handed out even more bonuses. The bonuses were given to people who didn’t complete the course. The news broke in 2012 when investigators seized longtime Duncan friend and employee Zach Brezina’s computer to see whether he’d taken the test for others. As the year wore on, “insiders” kept saying that the pieces were about to fall into place, but deadline after deadline passed without action. On Dec. 12, Burnett and Tindell resigned and entered pleas. Since then, nothing. And now Duncan is making the rounds of Republican clubs giving every indication of running for reelection next summer.

Sandra Clark

So is there a TBI investigation or not? Will it be concluded before the expiration of the statute of limitations? Why is this hard? Duncan admitted taking money for educational coursework which he had not completed. He even paid it back. Duncan’s chief of staff, Josh Burnett, and delinquent tax attorney, Chad Tindell, resigned and entered guilty pleas to the misdemeanor of facilitation of official misconduct last December. Does the buck stop there? Background: Duncan got elected without opposition after the mere mention of his name cleared the field. He took office Sept.1, 2010, in what many believed was the first step toward succeeding his father, U.S. Rep. John “Jimmy” Duncan Jr.

His mother, Frances, passed on her relentless drive to her youngest son – “Saying no to my mother was just an invitation to do it another way.” When he was 10, his big sister Marty was killed in a traffic accident. His mother salved her grief by throwing herself into starting the Knoxville Teen Center, a safe place where young people had fun and did community service. A couple of generations of Knoxville youth came to know her as “Mama Mon.” Herb married Rachel Hufstedler, finished UT law school in 1970, was commissioned into the Army as a captain in the Judge Advocate General Corps and stationed near Washington, D.C. He served as prosecutor before deciding to switch sides. “The brass liked me as a

prosecutor but not so much as a defense attorney.” They liked him even less when he took the case of Robert K. Preston, a disgruntled soldier who stole a helicopter and flew it onto Richard Nixon’s White House lawn, getting himself shot five times in the process. He faced 105 years imprisonment and a dishonorable discharge, and Moncier made “60 Minutes” by accusing the Joint Chiefs of Staff of command influence, a criminal violation of the Code of Uniform Justice. Then he made Preston his clerk and rode him around in his Army car. Preston got off with a couple of months retraining and an honorable discharge. A military judge at Ft.

A cockatiel named Tippy occupies the office next to Moncier’s. Rachel returned to Knoxville. He went to work in the attorney general’s office, teaming up with Ralph Harwell as a fearsome duo that never lost a case. Rachel taught school. Their son Adam was born in 1977. In 1980, their newborn son Nicholas was diagnosed with cerebral palsy. Rachel was stricken with post-partum depression that deepened when her doctor said Nick was allergic to her breast milk. Herb took her to her parents’ home so they could look after her, but she found her father’s gun and ended her life, leaving Herb with a toddler and a severely disabled 5-month-old. He doesn’t know if he would have made it without the help of Harwell and quiet moments spent in the sanctuary of Church Street Methodist Church that deepened his faith and his resolve. His sons became the focus of his life. Nicholas lives with him and is his “best buddy.” Adam finished law school and started a practice focused on juvenile law. “Wish I could bottle

GOSSIP AND LIES ■ Gus Paidousis is a great guy, we’re sure, but hiring him for $90,000 to hire and supervise 58 other retired cops under the guise of school security is a huge boondoggle. It’s tough enough to fund public education without this empire-building. ■ Tim Burchett, we recall, said education funding should be directed toward the classroom. The expanded school security budget is an

additional $2 million directed toward guys watching locked front doors while possibly eating doughnuts. ■ Dr. Heather West, a graduate of Halls High School and Carson-Newman University Class of 2005, takes issue with Brianna Rader’s slam at UT, writing: “Obviously, the chancellors and trustees of UT felt the material being presented during this “Sex Week” was unsuitable to endorse and/

■ Betty Bean, who previously wrote a feature on West, says Rader was right. “The UT administration was fully informed and on board with everything Rader was doing all through the planning stage, so it wasn’t the content they had a problem with. It was only when Stacey Campfield and Fox News started in that they buckled.”

Adam. I’d have a formula for other young people. All those years of pain as a single father, then to see him get over the curve and all of a sudden … it’s just wonderful.” Moncier said. “And the best thing he’s done is marry Paige Christenberry and have Khaki – my granddaughter Katherine Rachel. And I’m Papa Herb to her and her brother, William, who is 10.” Meanwhile, he’s hoping to get his practice back on track, 70 percent of which was in federal court. His financial situation is complicated by years of unpaid public interest work that pretty much reshaped county government. “There was a complete political regime opposed to what Wanda Moody and later Bee DeSelm (his plaintiffs in the lawsuits that stopped the justice center and enforced term limits) were doing; and Lord, did they pay the price for it. And I became tainted – maybe justly so because I was crazy enough to do it. “But I did it because it was right and because the people needed somebody to stand up and help them take their government back.”

Here’s what our sources say: ■ That the TBI investigation, headed by agent Jerry Spoon, was completed last September. ■ That Tindell and Burnett have agreements that their cases will be dropped if no one else is charged. The statute of limitations on such offenses is two years, meaning that time would have been up on the 2010 offenses in December. But Tindell, Burnett and Duncan waived the statute. The deadline to prosecute 2011 offenses is October. ■ That the investigation was stymied when the U.S. Attorney’s office became involved, entangling the trustee’s issues with other matters. ■ That it’s looking like Duncan is going to walk. Conclusion: The TBI should finish its investigation and turn over its information to Randy Nichols. Let him or a substitute DA decide whether to prosecute. Otherwise, we suggest a more apt slogan for the top of that TBI website: “Justice delayed is justice denied.”

Proposed hotel/motel tax draws criticism Is Farragut getting ready to run business dollars out of town? That seems to be the opinion of at least one hotel/motel owner who says passage of a 3 percent additional tax on his guests may have far-reaching repercussions.

Suzanne Foree Neal

At its April 25 meeting, the BOMA approved on first reading a 3 percent hotel/motel tax with only Alderman Bob Markli voting no. The tax, which would add $3 to a $100 room bill, is projected to generate $460,000 in revenue. Town officials say the revenue is needed to help soften the blow of dwindling funds from the Hall Tax. They also see using the

hotel/motel tax to promote economic development and tourism projects. Sam Patel, owner of Country Inn & Suites and Comfort Suites, addressed the board at its May 9 meeting during the citizen’s forum. He said he understood about the Hall Tax, and said that on paper, the hotel/motel tax “looks great and looks like it might benefit everyone.” The reality, he maintains, is that it will hurt his business, his guests and surrounding businesses. Patel also objected to no notice being given to business owners that the issue was coming before the board. “One of the major things, I guess this vote went through without proper notification to the businesses that it really affects,” he said, adding he had spoken with other owners, and “no one was aware of it until it hit the press. As soon as we found out, that’s when we started

take the blame on that.” Patel said there is already a 14.5 percent tax for hotel guests. “They stay here because they know we have better rates than Knoxville, where the tax is 17.25 percent.” Patel also took issue with the board’s position that the tax won’t hurt local residents because it affects only travelers. He says Farragut residents choose to put visiting guests up in town hotels, but, if the tax passes, he says people may decide to travel to another exit and stay closer to Knoxville. “That will be displacing hotel guests and business to Sam Patel, owner of Country Inn & Suites and Comfort Suites other exits,” he said. “If you in Farragut, addresses the Board of Mayor and Aldermen at the go down this road, it’s going May 9 meeting. Patel is opposed to the passage of a hotel/mo- to put a bad taste in a lot of tel tax. Photo by S.F.

It’s really tough to input before making a delong-term planning. “A lot stay in the loop, and that’s cision. “We’ve talked about of us who run hotels also our fault. We need to stay this for a couple of years. It run other businesses, and more involved, so we will has only been approved on

first reading.” The mayor also noted that unlike surrounding areas, hotel/motel owners in Farragut don’t pay a property tax. A community forum on the hotel/motel tax has since been scheduled for 8:30 a.m. Thursday, May 16, in the board room at Farragut Town Hall. A called meeting of the Farragut Business Alliance board will follow. Another resident, Audrey Roberts, came to ask consideration of speed bumps for a section of Bellaire Drive to slow down speeders and also requested a wider curve on a hill that she says is so narrow a school bus and delivery truck can’t both pass at the same time. “I’ve talked to four families who live near me and near the hill, and all are in favor of the speed bumps,” she said. Town Administrator David Smoak said he would have the town engineer look into her requests.

Ed committee digs into getting experts to help in schools By Suzanne Foree Neal Tapping into local “human capital” once again dominated the meeting of the Farragut/Knox County Schools Joint Education Relations Committee meeting on May 7,at Farragut Town Hall. Mark Littleton, chair, reported on information he received after a conversation with Scott Bacon, supervisor of business partnerships for Knox County Schools. At issue for the committee is finding a way to marry local experts in the business and professional community with curriculum and projects in the schools in their areas of expertise. It was first suggested months ago by Farragut Mayor Ralph McGill and has been discussed at nearly every committee meeting since. Stumbling blocks have primarily been processdriven. The committee noted that volunteers must be approved by the principal, so building an outside data base of experts would mean those on it would have to go through some sort of approval process. Also, an extensive program of experts partnering with teachers on curriculum subjects would need a coordinator, even though the concept for the program is strictly volunteers. “Each school has a form to fill out regarding speakers and the content to be addressed, and the principal can approve or not,” said retired principal and committee member Julia Craze. The committee has been searching for a program to use as a model and discussion centered on the Pencil Foundation in Nashville. The program strives to link “community resources with its local schools to help young people achieve academic success and prepare for life,” according to the web site. There is information on how to be a volunteer and how to donate school supplies, which is what the Farragut committee has been trying to do through the town’s web site. Littleton also reported that Bacon told him of a new security system for Knox County Schools that will be in place by fall. The school system is completing negotiations with an outside vendor to handle background checks for some of the volunteers coming into the schools. Not all volunteers will be required to go through the clearance, just those who fall in “tiers three and four” of the fourtier volunteer vetting pro-

gram currently in place. In a telephone interview with this reporter, Bacon said that tiers three and four are volunteers who accompany students on overnight trips or are working one-on-one with a student. Littleton said he and Bacon “both agreed there’s an opportunity in our community to engage all

kinds of experts in science, health care, merchandising and lots of areas. We believe it would be a benefit, but it hasn’t gained traction here yet.” The chairman said he is feeling better about the prospect since he has found interest growing in at least two schools. “That’s a potential starter,” said Littleton.

In the telephone interview, Bacon said the new security system checks federal and local databases and sheriff’s department records, and it should only take a couple of days to receive verification. Volunteers classified as tier one or two are generally those who come into the school under the supervision of

staff and would not be required to have the background checks. “There are an overwhelmingly large number of volunteers who are going to be in that setting,” Bacon said. “Once we get background checks in place, which the school system pays for, we will be web-based, and anyone on it will be OK,”

Bacon said. He added that the current web page listing for volunteers hasn’t been tapped by teachers because of the lack of a verification procedure and process. He expects once the background checks are in place, it will be a betterused resource in the fall. “Dogwood Elementary has had some success with it.”

No way to know Ten years ago, when Doug Dickey was finishing up as athletic director at Tennessee, dear friend Nancy Siler and I had an interesting conversation about potential replacements. Her candidate was Bill Schmidt. Nancy said he met all requirements. He had been an Olympic athlete and a Tennessee coach, a Chuck Rohe assistant. He had a Master’s degree in business with emphasis on accounting. He had served honorably in the military. He was a borderline genius. As director of sports at the 1982 World’s Fair, he produced a $300,000 profit while the whole show was doing a deficit. Nancy had followed Schmidt’s career closely from the time her husband, Tom Siler, had said he would be a star. She recalled when

ness and lead the Volunteers to even greater success. UT president John Shumaker either didn’t ask Nancy or didn’t take her assessment seriously. He interviewed Schmidt but promoted Mike Hamilton, Dickey’s key assisMarvin tant and a brilliant fund-raiser. West “We did a thorough and exhaustive national search,” said Shumaker. His next line was something about the right man at the right time. We’ll never know how Bill Stokely Van Camp hired Bill as director of development Schmidt would have done. and loaned him to the Los You can guess UT athletics Angeles Olympics. He served would never have been $223 Peter Ueberroth as a vice million in debt. Schmidt oversaw Gatorade president, responsible for growth from $80 million to eight sports. Back at Stokely, or maybe $1.8 billion. Signing Michael it was Quaker Oats by then, Jordan to pitch the product Schmidt was named vice may have helped sales. I remember when Bill president of worldwide marketing of Gatorade. You know said: “Foreign countries what happened to Gatorade. didn’t know sports drinks, Nancy thought Bill but they knew Michael JorSchmidt was a natural – dan. We couldn’t afford him smarts, background, person- but we did a 10-year endorseality, contacts, skill set – to ment deal not knowing how direct UT athletics as a busi- good he would be.”

Passive persistence When he had spent everything, a severe famine took place throughout that country, and he began to be in need. So he went and hired himself out to one of the citizens of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed the pigs. He would gladly have filled himself with the pods that the pigs were eating; and no one gave him anything. But when he came to himself he said, “How many of my father’s hired hands have bread enough and to spare, but here I am dying of hunger! I will get up and go to my father, and I will say to him, ‘Father, I have been led astray against heaven and before you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son; treat me like one of your hired hands.’ ” So he set off and went to his father. But while he was still far off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion; he ran and put his arms around him and kissed him. (Luke 15: 14-20 NRSV) Of all the parables Jesus told, this one is the most beloved. Perhaps that is because at one time or another we can identify with all the characters in this little drama. It tells us volumes about

ourselves: our own rebellion and selfishness, our heedlessness of the hurt we cause others; our need for love. It also tells us about ourselves as parents: the jumbled emotions of love and frustra-

tion, the joys and sorrows of watching our children go through the stages of adolescence, the sense of arrival when they are finally grownups. It tells us, too, about ourselves as siblings: children raised by the same parents, in the same home, who turn out to be very different, very distinct individuals. I wonder what it also tells us about the storyteller: Jesus. He would have been the elder brother in his family: Mary’s first-born. Did he know of family anguish firsthand? Did he have a ne’erdo-well younger sibling who broke Joseph’s heart?

It took Schmidt a few minutes to catch up with the New York Giants’ postgame ritual of dumping Gatorade on coach Bill Parcells. When he saw it on replay, he said it was advertising better than money could buy. At the end of that season, he spent some and sent Parcells a letter. “We at The Quaker Oats Company, makers of Gatorade Thirst Quencher, realize that due to the yearlong ‘Gatorade dunking’ you have been receiving, your wardrobe has probably taken a beating. “The enclosed check should help remedy the problem; after all, we do feel somewhat responsible for your cleaning bill.” In the sports marketing world, Bill Schmidt was first considered a pioneer. He became a giant. The Sporting News twice listed Schmidt among the most powerful people in sports. He knew everybody. He could get tickets to any event.

Schmidt left Gatorade to become CEO of Oakley sunglasses and apparel. Good old Michael Jordan arranged that deal. Schmidt eventually came back to Knoxville and started his own sports marketing and consulting firm, Pegasus. He served as an adjunct professor at UT. He dabbled in real estate. He played golf. He rode Harley-Davidson motorcycles. His hometown of Canonsburg, Pa., put up a historical marker commemorating his world status among javelin throwers. He won the bronze at the Munich Olympics, the only American to medal in that event in 61 years and counting. This summer Bill Schmidt will be inducted into the Greater Knoxville Sports Hall of Fame. It will be a brief celebration of excellence. No way to know what might have been.

This story resonates with me, not because of my own family history, but because of the families I have encountered in various forms of ministry throughout my career. I have listened to stories of children who were abandoned (or worse), of parents whose children rebelled, of brothers and sisters who no longer speak to each other; of children who have no idea where their parents are now. It is sad, but true: families can fall apart. Even so, it is clear that Jesus told this story to demonstrate the patience and the forgiving nature of God. But the most fascinating part of it (for me at least) is the father’s standing at the gate, watching, waiting. He didn’t saddle up and ride off in all directions searching for the boy. He didn’t go drag the prodigal home by the scruff of the neck. He did not abandon his wife and other son, or his responsibilities as head of household.

But on that day when the prodigal’s familiar form came over the hill, the father was at the gate, looking for his boy. Imagine the patience, the forbearance, the self-discipline it had required of the father! Imagine, too, the restraint that was required to keep the father from ranting about the worry, the heartbreak, the hurt. There was no “well¸ it’s about time!” Or “where in the world have you been?” His passive persistence had paid off: his boy had come home of his own free will and his own recognition of his folly. The faithful father had been standing at the gate to welcome him. Jesus didn’t say they all lived happily ever after. But they were a family again, and that, after all, was the point of the parable. It also was God’s intent in sending Jesus into this world: to welcome home all the prodigals. Thanks be to God!

A miracle for Evie Baby born with hydrops celebrates second birthday By Ashley Baker Jessica Ashton was 34 weeks pregnant with her second baby when she received news no mother wants to hear. A routine ultrasound showed fluid in Jessica’s baby girl. On April 5, 2011, a specialist diagnosed the baby with non-immune hydrops, an abnormal collection of fluid in at least two areas: the skin, abdomen, space around the lungs or the pericardial sac around the heart.

Jessica Ashton and baby Evie in April of 2011. Evie was born with non-immune hydrops, which only has a 10 percent survival rate. Photo submitted

Evie enjoys some cake at her birthday party. “The first thing the doctor said was hydrops,” said Jessica. “I couldn’t believe it. The night before we had read about fluid accumulation and how it is next to impossible for a baby to make it.” “The doctors didn’t tell us the stats,” said Andy

Ashton, husband and father. “But we knew the stats, and they were frightening: 90 percent of babies who have hydrops don’t make it through their first night.” The doctors also told the Ashtons that Jessica needed to deliver immediately, even though she wasn’t full-term. “They needed to get the baby out as soon as possible,” said Jessica. She was taken immediately to delivery. “Nothing was packed,”

said Andy. “That morning, Jessica thought about packing a bag, but we didn’t.” Jessica was induced early the next morning. “I felt like I should be freaking out,” she said. “But there was nothing in me freaking out. The Lord knew what was going on, and I felt the Lord’s peace that passes understanding. I knew that He was sovereign. I knew that He was faithful.” At 12:14 a.m. Evelyn

was a mother’s cry. “Her lungs weren’t strong enough to breathe,” said Andy. “They needed to drain the fluid. We didn’t know anything for two hours. Then they came in and said they had her stabilized.” With that, the Ashtons were at the beginning of a 44-day emotional rollercoaster with baby Evie. “I clung to Isaiah 26:34,” said Jessica Ashton. “It says, ‘You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you. Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord God is an everlasting rock.” Andy and Jessica were surprised not only by the peace they felt through their faith, but also the overwhelming support of people around them. Three nurses prayed with Jessica before delivery.

Their home church, Christ Church Knoxville, brought meals, babysat their older son and surrounded them in prayer. A network of prayer started all over the nation. Facebook friends and random strangers began to pray for a little girl lying in a NICU bed. Having both non-immune hydrops and holes in her lymphatic system, Evie needed nothing short of a miracle. As the days passed, Evie’s body began to heal. Fluid levels decreased, and she began to take on the look of a healthy baby. The Ashtons credit a miracle with saving Evie’s life. In April, as their miracle baby celebrated her second birthday, her party wasn’t just about a cute cake and fun decorations. The Ashtons say they see God’s glory and healing powers in Evie’s life.

Noelle Ashton was born, weighing 7 pounds, 14 ounces. Most of the weight was due to fluid accumulation. “The lasting image in my head was there was no heartbeat, no breath and no sound,” said Andy. While there was activity filling the delivery room, a hushed silence plagued the room. As the doctor delivered a perfectly still baby, Jessica began to scream, “Breathe, baby… breathe!” The Ashton family today – Andy, Josiah, Jessica and 2-year-old In the midst of quiet, there Evie.

in teaching them that the two letters almost always go together in the English language. To prepare for the ceremony, each student is assigned a letter for the day. The bride and groom are Q and U, and the ushers and

the wedding party are the rest of the alphabet. Before the wedding vows, a short cartoon is shown to explain how the two letters met. After a short ceremony – presided over this year by school principal Gina Byrd – the students made

Shopper News Presents Miracle Makers

Helping schools is priority at Shoney’s By Jake Mabe Ask Knox County Schools supervisor of business partnerships Scott Bacon to recommend a business that has long been involved with Knox County Schools’ Partners in Education, and he doesn’t hesitate. “Shoney’s.” Makes perfect sense. The restaurant has long marketed itself as a familyfriendly restaurant. Shoney’s of Knoxville president/CEO Bill Baugh says that mind-set includes helping schools. “We’ve always at Shoney’s, even back when we were the Big Boy, helped education. It’s good community service and we are interested in promoting youth, putting something back into the community.” Shoney’s opened its first Knoxville franchise in 1962. Baugh says the local franchises’ previous owners, brothers Wade, Hillard and Leon Travis, emphasized helping schools. He continued and expanded it after becoming president/CEO when Shoney’s of Knoxville, Inc. was established as an Employee Stock Ownership Plan in 1995. Its list of school partnerships is long – and impressive. Shoney’s has participated in Knox County Schools’ popular school coupon book program since 1998. “That’s a win-win for everybody,” says marketing director Annie LaLonde. “Shoney’s doesn’t do a lot of couponing, but when we do, we want to make sure it’s something that (goes) back to the community.” Shoney’s participates in A Very Special Art Fest, an event for students with special needs held at West High School during the Dogwood Arts Festival. Mascot Shoney Bear entertains at the event, as well as at other school-related events and activities throughout the county, including walks, student fairs and reward events. Over the last five years, Shoney’s has donated more than $5,000 to Knox County Schools through the popular Dine Out for Education fundraiser, a day in which 10 percent of proceeds at par ticipating restaurants are earmarked for the school system. Eighteen years ago, Shoney’s began the KidCare ID program, at which parents can receive a free information kit that is readily available in case their child is ever reported missing. The IDs include a color photograph, fin-

gerprints, vital information (height, weight, date of birth), a medical profile, info on the “Seven Rules of Safety” and a 24-hour National Center for Missing and Exploited Children hotline number. Participants also receive fun safety items for their family and get to meet Shoney Bear. The event will be held Aug. 23-25 this year at Safety City, Cedar Bluff Elementary School and Foothills Mall in Maryville. Shoney’s six Knox County locations partner with nearby schools: Sunnyview Primary, Mooreland Heights Elementary, Dogwood Elementary, East Knox County Elementary, Pond Gap Elementary, Bearden Elementary, West Haven Elementary, Norwood Elementary and Copper Ridge Elementary. LaLonde says these schools and others that do not have an official partnership with Shoney’s regularly receive food donations for events, reward certificates, and coupons for students and teachers. In partnership with WOKI News-

Talk 98.7 and radio personality Phil Williams, Shoney’s also recognizes the Shoney’s Super Kid, identifying a student at four schools who “has been in a tough situation and risen above it,” LaLonde says. The student is picked up at school in a limousine along with three friends, gets to talk with Williams on the radio and is given dinner at the Shoney’s location closest to the student’s school before returning. “It’s just a fun way to promote school spirit and tell (children) that you don’t have to be the best at everything to be recognized for good work,” LaLonde says. Shoney’s also partners with WIVK radio and disc jockey Gunner to recognize a Teacher of the Month, who is nominated by students or parents and chosen by WIVK for exceptional work. 2013 Knox County Schools winners were Joan DeDominick at Ritta Elementary, Ara Langford at Shannondale Elementary and Trudy Sturgill at Christenberry Elementary. In past years, Shoney’s has also worked with East Tennessee Children’s Hospital on Eating and Living Healthy, conducting two programs at Moore-

land Heights Elementary. Shoney’s of Knoxville Inc. was the first non-municipal building constructed at Safety City, which annually provides 2nd grade students with a safety program on how to safely navigate city streets. “It went from a group talking to next thing you know they’re down there constructing the building,” Baugh says. And Shoney’s has helped further the education of its employees in the most basic way: “We’ve had a lot of servers who worked their way through college while working at Shoney’s and they also put their children through college.” Shoney’s also sponsors a Kids Zone – family friendly sections – at Knoxville Ice Bears and Tennessee Smokies games. Since 2011, LaLonde has been a member of Partners in Education’s board of directors. “And we don’t do any of this for a gain,” Baugh says. “We do it because that’s what we are.” For more information on Knox County Schools’ Partners in Education, visit www.knoxschools.org or call Scott Bacon at 594-1909.

Modernâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Millie @modernsmillie

Dottie Ramsey, at left, president and chief operating officer of Modern Supply, and Pace Robinson, at right, owner of Modern Supply, presented Steve Chancey, president of Chancey & Reynolds, with a prestigious award citing Chanceyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s company as one of the top ten Rheem dealers in the US, Latin America and the Caribbean for the fifth year in a row.

Winning an award for being among the top ten leaders in your industry throughout North America, Latin America and the Caribbean is a big deal. Winning that award for the fifth year in a row is a staggering achievement, but it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t beyond the reach of Knoxvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own Chancey & Reynolds. The prestigious award came recently for the fifth time from Rheem, one of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading manufacturers of central heating and cooling products. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a tremendous honor for us,â&#x20AC;? says Steve Chancey, Chancey & Reynolds president. Chancey & Reynolds Inc. was founded in 1978 by Chancey and partner Art Reynolds, and soon became a trusted name throughout East Tennessee. Today it has 52 employees who install and service Rheemâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s full line of residential and commercial equipment. Its highly trained service technicians have also won numerous awards.

Chancey says he and Reynolds met while they were students at UT. Both graduated with bachelor of science degrees. When they started their business they intended to focus on solar energy panels, but quickly realized they were a bit ahead of the times and changed their focus to HVAC work. They soon affiliated with another established Knoxville business, Modern Supply, the Rheem distributor for East Tennessee. Chancey & Reynolds is Modern Supplyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest customer for Rheem products. Modern Supply thinks so highly of Chancey & Reynolds that they use them to service their own Rheem equipment at the corporate offices and showroom on Lovell Road. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re good customers and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a great relationship,â&#x20AC;? Modern Supplyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s president and chief operating officer Dottie Ramsey says. Chancey says his company â&#x20AC;&#x153;is committed to delivering

Steve Chancey, president of Chancey & Reynolds

the best products and service in our industry.â&#x20AC;? A large part of that effort is making certain the HVAC units installed are the right size for the building, whether residential or commercial. The wrong size unit, whether too large or too small, can cause unnecessarily high energy costs. Chancey is also especially proud of the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s service department. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is excellent, and we service any kind of equipment, not just Rheem.â&#x20AC;? All employees wear uniforms and drive clearly-marked company vans. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With residential work, we really strive to make the homeowner comfortable. We

Springâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s almost gone and summerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cominâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; on, so I know itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about time for my allergies to take over and turn me into a zombie! Luckily I got to chattinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; with my pals here at Modern Supply and they told me just the things to do before I go haywire. Changing the air filter in my AC every month or so helps take a doozy of a headache away! EPA studies say that the air inside our homes is 10 times more polluted than outside air. That means that here in Knox-vegas , weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be sneezinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and coughinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; til next year rolls around! To top it off, Knoxville was ranked second as the Allergy Capital of America in 2013 by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America. So to help avoid runny mascara, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gotta keep our heating and cooling systems in positively purr-fect shape! This way theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll last longer, lower our energy costs and give us better indoor air quality. I do this by watchinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; what I chop near my air units, to make sure I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t clog up the units with clippings. Cleaning and inspecting those AC units on a regular schedule can prevent damage in the future. I also make sure to talk to the guys at the Modern Supply sales counter for free advice. The pros always say to plan check-ups with a â&#x20AC;&#x153;certifiedâ&#x20AC;? contractor in the spring and fall to make sure everythingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s running smoothly. Because snooping without certification can lead to unsafe situations! If you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had one in a while, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait that long. Set up an appointment ASAP and tell â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;em Millie sent you!

try to be very respectful of other peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s property and often get compliments on how well we clean up after a job.â&#x20AC;? The company is expanding into counties south of Knoxville. They recently restored an old building at 118 A St. in the heart of old downtown Lenoir City, with space designed especially to better serve that area. But despite the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s continued growth and expansion, Steve Chancey still finds time for community work. The active West Knoxville Rotary Club member spearheaded the effort that resulted in the much-used pavilion at West Hills Park.

NEWS FROM LITTLEFISH LAND AND HOME

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

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

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

Corks hosts spirited opening the average customer,” said McElveen, who has been a certified Sommelier by the Court of Master Sommeliers since 1996. ■ The Farragut Board of Mayor and Aldermen have passed a hotel-motel tax for Farragut on first reading, with second and final reading, scheduled for the May 23 meeting. To answer questions surrounding the issue, the Farragut Business Alliance has scheduled a called board meeting and a community forum at 8:30 a.m. Thursday, May 16, in the board room at Farragut Town Hall, 11408 Municipal Center Drive. The called FBA board meeting will follow. The tax has been discussed locally for more than two years, with changes in state laws bringing the issue

to the forefront for many communities. Town Administrator David Smoak will be on hand to explain the background of the proposal, how the proposed tax ﬁts with the town’s strategic plan, who it impacts and the planned use of the funds in regard to tourism and eco-

nomic development. Also coming up for FBA is a community forum on healthcare. “The Future of Health Care and its Impact on Business” will be the topic for a group of panelists at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, May 14, at town hall. Panelists are Jerry W. Askew, senior vice presi-

dent of governmental relations, Tennova Healthcare; Lance Jones, CEO of Tennova’s Turkey Creek Medical Center; Pam Lawhorn, vice president, BB&T Insurance Services; and Tim Young, CEO, Summit Healthcare. The forum is open to the community at no charge.

On patrol: Sheriff’s officers cover many miles

but that is seldom what we are looking for.” Biggs praised Captain Jeff Palmer, who is precinct captain for Farragut. Farragut has ﬁve patrolling ofﬁcers at any given time, with over-

lap during the busy times, said Biggs. “Farragut is very lucky because the incident of violent crime here is very low. We want to make sure it stays that way.” Bruce Williamson, club

president, congratulated one of the club’s two scholarship winners. Colton Jacoby, a graduating senior at Farragut High School, received a $1,500 scholarship to be used at the college of his choice.

Dana and Ryan McElveen welcomed guests to their new business on May 3 as they celebrated the opening of Corks Wine and Spirits in Turkey Creek, next to the new Publix. Ryan McElveen hoped the guests would leave feeling they had been to something a little more than the traditional liquor store. “We wanted to create an environment that is warm and inviting and doesn’t feel like a liquor store,” said McElveen. “We used local materials made by local artisans – custom millwork racks and a checkout area made with repurposed wood from a 100-year-old barn.” The more than 100 guests at the open house seemed to enjoy “product” as well as the surroundings. “We did a lot of business that night,” said

By Sherri Gardner Howell Knox County Sheriff’s patrol ofﬁcers need a frequent-driver mileage program. They traveled more than six million miles patrolling the city Eddie Biggs and county roads in 2012. “Those were just the miles covered by the police cruisers,” Chief Deputy Eddie Biggs told members of the Rotary Club of Farragut at their regular Wednesday meeting May 8 at Fox Den Country Club.

of the Sheriff’s office. Duties for officers cover a wide range, although the patrolling officers and detectives are the ones most seen by the public. “We have traffic units, elderly care, aviation, search and rescue, K-9s and several departments to service the courts, just to name a few,” said Biggs. “Knox County is in good hands, and that includes the town of Farragut.” Cold cases are always interesting to the public, especially with the topic being so popular on television, said Biggs. “I understand that because I also find cold cases to be some of the most interesting to work. It is interesting to see how cases unfolded in the 1960s and ’70s compared

to how it is done now. We have certainly had a lot of advancements, especially with DNA testing.” DNA isn’t always the magic answer, however, said Biggs. “First of all, it is very, very expensive, and it is certainly not like television where you get the results and solve the crime in 40 minutes. The truth is, most of the time we can’t even get the money for DNA testing.” When asked exactly how expensive the tests were, Biggs replied that the range, depending on whether or not it was the more expensive mitochondrial testing, is between $6,000 up to $20,000 per test. “You can do a parental DNA test for about $600,

NEWS FROM PAIDEIA ACADEMY OF KNOXVILLE

Paideia wins KISL championship

Members of the Paideia Academy Knights middle school varsity soccer team are: (front) Ayden Case, Paul Menard, Drew Clapp, Ben Seaman, Seth Kenny, Bryan Hairston, Connor Cross, Kensi Gray; (back) coach Chris Meystrik, Matthew Menard, Samuel Sadler, Jonathan Meystrik, Caleb Bethel, Bryce Kenny, Sarah Badgett, Caleb Norris, Trey Kelly, Daryl Driscoll and coach Randy Sadler.

made it tough for King’s offense to get the ball through. Seth Kenny and Kensi Gray worked hard at midﬁeld to keep the ball moving. The entire team played a great game. Coach Meystrik said, “Every game is always a full team effort and we played a very good King’s Academy team. It has been a long season not deﬁned by any one win.”

Paideia Academy beat King’s Academy Tuesday night, 6-3, to clinch the KISL Varsity Soccer Championship title. This is Paideia’s third year to field a middle school team and their first league title. “I told the team we needed to desire the toughest path to the championship, and we got it,” coach Chris Meystrik said. “We played the best team in the league on their home field. I couldn’t be more proud of our team!” When these two teams met early in the season, the game ended in a 3-3 tie. Both teams went on to finish regular season play with one loss each in addition to the tie, and faced off in this game as cochampions of the league. The Knights were up 4-0 at half time, but King’s Academy fought hard and pulled the game to 5-3 before Paideia scored their final goal. Caleb Bethel scored five of Paideia’s goals. Jonathan Meystrik added one goal of his own while assisting on three of Bethel’s. Caleb Norris also had a strong offensive game with solid passes and good teamwork, and Connor Cross played a stellar game at center midfield both offensively and defensively. Goalkeeper Drew Clapp was clutch in goal for the Knights with some brilliant saves including a one-on-one that changed the momentum of the game while there was still no score. He got plenty of solid defense from Ayden Case, Ben Seaman, Paul Menard and Sarah Badgett, who

Paideia’s first Golf Classic a success Paideia Academy’s first Golf Classic was a great success! The four-man swat tournament was played last week at Avalon Golf and Country Club to raise money for the school’s Annual Fund. The school plans to make the Golf Classic an annual fundraising event. “We were overwhelmed at the amount of support that we had for this first tournament,” said Steve Bethel, Paideia Academy’s development director and tournament organizer. “Our community really came together to sponsor and play – we couldn’t have imagined a better turnout.” Twenty-one teams played for great prizes and giveaways, generously donated by school families and area businesses. Sponsors included Breeding Barbecue, Aubrey’s, Chick-fil-A, Clayton Homes, Coca-Cola, Gentry Tipton & McLemore, Ruby Tuesday, Smokey Mountain Tops, Ted Russell Ford and the Woodlands. Proceeds directly benefit students through need-based tuition scholarships and property acquisition for future capital development. Bethel hopes that the tournament will continue to build on this early success. “We hope that everyone who participates in Paideia Academy’s Golf Classic will get a feel for the special quality of our students and families and the unique benefits that our school has to offer,” Bethel said. “We want to educate servant leaders who will give back to the community that has given so much to them.” To learn more about sponsorship opportunities for Paideia Academy’s events, visit paideiaknoxville.org.

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

Change of heart

Heart attack turns doubter into sleep evangelist He’d had rough nights before, the kind when Warren Wilson would wake up the next morning feeling drowsy, tired, achey or as if he’d been beaten in his sleep. But March 21, 2011, was far worse than usual – that was the day he woke up with a heart attack. It was also the day that set Wilson to thinking about whether there might be a link between his sleeplessness and his heart attack. “My wife had been telling me for years that she thought I might have sleep apnea, and I’d been ignoring her,” said Wilson, whose wife Gail works in recovery at Parkwest Medical Center. “I thought, ‘Snoring is a manly thing to do. All men snore!’ But while I was laid up in the hospital, she mentioned it again. A couple of the nurses in the Cardiac Care Unit even mentioned it. They thought I may have sleep apnea because they had seen me stop breathing too.” Wilson, however, was still unconvinced. After all, he only had blockage to one artery in his heart and that was 100 percent blocked – something that, he reasoned, “might have been all that lard I ate as a kid.” But six months after his heart attack, again urged by his wife, Wilson walked into the Sleep Disorders Center at Parkwest where he was examined by Dr. Bert Hampton, a board-certiﬁed sleep specialist. “After my initial evaluation of Mr. Wilson, I felt there was a very high probability that he had obstructive sleep apnea and that it had played a major role in his heart attack,” said Hampton who ordered a “split-night sleep study” for Wilson. “In a split-night study, if obstructive sleep apnea can be documented in the ﬁrst two hours of sleep, the remainder of the night can be used to determine what CPAP (continuous positive air pressure) pressure and mask work for the patient,” Hampton explained. “Sometimes, a split-night study is planned ahead of time and sometimes it is done emergently due to the severity of the patient’s

Six months after his heart attack, Warren Wilson (left) met with Dr. Bert Hampton for an evaluation of his sleeping disorder.

sleep apnea. Mr. Wilson’s study was planned as a split-night study, but if it had not been planned, he would have met criteria to do a split-night study emergently due to the severity of his sleep apnea.” So severe, in fact, was Wilson’s apnea that he had only been asleep an hour and 18 minutes when he was awakened by a technician with a CPAP mask in hand saying, “You need this!” The verdict? Wilson’s blood oxygen saturation fell to a low of 57 percent (92 to 98 is considered normal), and most importantly, he had “stopped breathing” 66 times during those 78 minutes. Wilson puts it this way: “If somebody is suffocating you 66 times an hour – somebody grabbing your throat 66 times an hour – that can’t be good for you. That’s what sleep apnea does. The word apnea, by the way, is Latin for ‘without air.’” In fact, Hampton said, the phrase “stopped breathing” isn’t entirely accurate when describing

obstructive sleep apnea. “More accurately, what is occurring is partial or complete collapse of the airway through the back of the throat which blocks airﬂow to the lungs,” said Hampton. According to Hampton, Wilson was trying to breathe in his sleep but the relaxation of his tongue, pharyngeal and jaw muscles was causing his throat to collapse and causing him to breathe through his mouth. “Usually mouth breathers keep their mouth shut when using CPAP but occasionally a person’s mouth may not stay shut while using CPAP,” said Hampton. “If this happens, the patient needs to use either a chin strap or a mask that goes over the nose and mouth to prevent air from the CPAP from leaking out the mouth. Most people who use CPAP, use a nasal mask or nasal pillows and do not need a chin strap or mask that goes over the nose and mouth.” While Wilson’s CPAP machine has a chin strap, he has no complaints at all.

Greg Belcher, manager of Parkwest’s Sleep Disorders Center, shows one of the various CPAP devices used in treating sleep apnea.

“I have become an evangelist for sleep studies and CPAP machines,” he says. “I tell everyone about it. I am like the guy who quit smoking – I tell everyone how great it is to have found a ﬁ x to the problem. I think some people fear wearing that nose hose. Some are very resistant to that – Who can sleep with that noisy thing running? But today’s machines are whisper quiet. People have apprehensions about it. But I tell you, it’s much better than the alternative, and that person lying beside you is less likely of having a heart attack, stroke or diabetes.” Now, Wilson is sleeping the sleep of the just. “I don’t wake myself up suffocating like I used to,” he says.

“I sleep many, many nights like a baby. It seems like years since I had a full night’s sleep from lying down to getting up. And since the CPAP machine blows humidiﬁed air into your nostrils, you don’t have a problem with dry sinuses. It’s not difﬁcult to travel with either. It comes in its own little case and I take it with me wherever I go. It’s like that credit card – I never leave home without it.”

Sleep apnea more serious than you might think It’s about more than just getting a good night’s sleep. In fact, sleep apnea is a serious, potentially life-threatening condition that is far more common than generally understood with as many as 18 million Americans estimated to have it. It occurs in all age groups and both genders and is more common in men, although it may be underdiagnosed in women and young African-Americans. “The awareness of the medical Hampton says more community and the general education is needed about the public that obstructive sleep health risks of sleep apnea. apnea is a major health issue has increased signiﬁcantly but still many patients with obstructive Disorders Center at Parkwest sleep apnea go undiagnosed,” said Medical Center. “Efforts need to Dr. Bert Hampton of the Sleep continue to be made to raise the

awareness of the importance of diagnosing and treating sleep apnea.” Hampton says that lack of knowledge about the affects of sleep apnea could have a serious impact on their health. “A lot of people still don’t fully understand that obstructive sleep apnea is a risk factor for numerous major health problems including hypertension, diabetes, heart attacks, heart arrhythmias, strokes and even a form of dementia,” he said. “It is also a risk factor for work and driving accidents, poor school and work performance, headaches, memory and concentration problems, sexual dysfunction and low testosterone levels,

daytime sleepiness and fatigue. So education about the adverse health effects and quality of life effects of sleep apnea is extremely important.” But diagnosis of sleep apnea is not simple because there can be many different causes. Primary care doctors, pulmonologists, neurologists or other doctors with specialty training in sleep disorders may be involved in making a deﬁnitive diagnosis and initiating treatment. Diagnostic tests usually are performed in a sleep center, but new technology may allow some sleep studies to be conducted in the patient’s home. Hampton says the test alone is a stumbling block for many people

who have anxiety over sleeping while hooked up to wires and not wanting to use a CPAP machine or believing they would not be able to tolerate it. “Most patients that come to a certiﬁed sleep center and are evaluated by a certiﬁed sleep specialist for sleep apnea and then are recommended to have a sleep study will have a high probability of having sleep apnea,” said Hampton. “The best treatment option for obstructive sleep apnea is CPAP (or some related form of CPAP therapy) so many of these patients will be treated with CPAP. But there are other potential treatment options and these can be discussed with the sleep specialist.”

The kids are alright Dr. Cheryl Greenacre, associate professor of avian and zoological medicine at the UT Veterinary Medical Center, wants you to know something about that baby bird that you saw flopping on your lawn.

Help for PAWS If you have an elderly loved one who might need some company, you may want to consider contacting Knox PAWS (Placing Animals with Seniors).

Carol’s Critter Corner “It’s perfectly normal,” she says. “It’s trying to develop muscle tone, and its parents are nearby. Leave it alone.” Dr. Greenacre compares wildlife babies to human teenagers. “They’re learning how to live life, but they’re making lots of mistakes. One of their mistakes is being out in the open.” There are a lot of Good Samaritans out there who see a baby animal all alone and pick it up, assuming that it’s in distress. This phenomenon even has a name: “spring kidnapping.” It not only applies to birds, but to rabbits, squirrels, deer and other types of wildlife. But the best course of action is simply none. It’s all part of nature’s plan. Particularly vulnerable to well-meaning “rescuers” are animals such as rabbits and fawns that have been taught by their mothers to stay still, blend in with the environment and wait for a parent’s return. When the animal doesn’t flee from an approaching human, many people assume it’s injured and needs help.

“People bring in fawns all the time,” says Greenacre. “There’s a lot of hard work, time and money that goes into saving lives. If we have people bringing in healthy young animals, it takes time and attention away from the ones who really do need help, and greatly taxes our resources.” And it puts a serious kink in nature’s system, which is intended to teach the baby how to live in the wild. In cases of injured wildlife, Greenacre and her colleagues mostly focus on triage. The animal is then handed over to be treated off site by specialists licensed by the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency. Everything possible is done to get the animal back to the wild with 100 percent of its athletic ability. Right now we’re smack in the middle of baby bird season, and fledglings are

everywhere. Once they leave the nest, they’re on their own. They can’t fly very well, which is why the parents stick around for a few weeks. If you feel you absolutely have to do something to get a baby bird out of harm’s way, put it far back in shrubbery nearby, and lock your cats and dogs inside the house. On a related note, the good doctor has recently operated on two magnificent birds of prey: a bald eagle and a red-tailed hawk. Both had been shot. The bald eagle made it. The hawk didn’t. All hawks, owls, and golden and bald eagles are protected by federal law. If you see someone trying to shoot one of these birds, report them. And leave that baby animal alone, because the kids really are alright. Send your interesting animal stories to news@ShopperNewsNow.com
