Summer events offer chance to be neighborly

Rogers Group Inc. was awarded this year’s resurfacing contract. The following streets, totaling 2.77 miles, are on the list to be redone: ■ Brighton Court (Andover Subdivision – Andover Road to cul-de-sac) ■ Boyd Station Road (Virtue Road to McFee Road) ■ Broadwood Drive (Sugarwood Subdivision – Butternut Lane to Butternut Lane) ■ North Campbell Station Road (Snyder Road to Ridgeland Drive) ■ Lindenhall Circle (Andover Subdivision – Brighton Court to cul-de-sac) For questions regarding the annual resurfacing program, contact Greg Norman with the town of Farragut’s Engineering Department at greg.norman@ townoffarragut.org or 966-7057.

Second-reading changes included a reduction in employee merit packages from 3 percent to 2 percent and a zero percent in-

crease in health insurance. The first reading included a 3 percent increase in health insurance. The town’s contribution to the News Sentinel Open increased from $16,500 to $20,000, and a $50,000 stormwater infrastructure analysis was added to the budget. New contracts for road mainteTo page A-3

Burchett gears up consolidated government push By Betty Bean Supporters of combining city and county governments tried and failed to get it done in 1959, 1978 and 1983 before launching a high-dollar, go-forbroke 1996 attempt that ended as the most embarrassing Tim Burchett failure of all. Tommy Schumpert, then county mayor and a unification supporter, predicted it would be 15 or 20 years before anybody tried it again, if ever. And he figured it might take some kind of crisis to trigger such an attempt.

Eighteen years later, after multiple county scandals – from a series of term limits and sunshinelaw violations that led to “Black Wednesday,” to the indictments of two consecutive elected trustees – a new unification movement is emerging, this time from a different direction than the usual business elites who have been met with suspicion by county residents. Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett sees benefits from unification and seems determined to avoid the failures of the past. The popular Republican is running unopposed for reelection and appears ready to make unified government the “big idea” of his second term. He’s been dropping public hints and en-

gaging in one-on-one discussions about it for months. “Just don’t call it metro,” he said, drawing a distinction between his plan and Metro Nashville, which combined its city and county governments in 1963. It’s governed by a 40-member metro council. The top cop is appointed, and the elected sheriff is a glorified jailor. Burchett wants to blunt the opposition of city employees, who fought the 1996 referendum. He calls the Knoxville Fire Department “one of the best in the country.” He strongly supports keeping the elected sheriff as the top cop. But his biggest talking point is saving money. He cites duplication in parks and recreation, hu-

He works well with city Mayor Madeline Rogero whose chief policy officer, Bill Lyons, said Rogero will gladly talk about unification. “We are always interested in finding ways to deliver quality service at a lower cost.

Farragut rolls out summer If you are bored in Farragut, you aren’t paying attention. The parks, library, jumpy-places, splash pads, ice skating and gymnasiums notwithstanding, the town of Farragut and town partners have rolled out the green carpet for summer fun. Classes at town hall are plentiful. Movers and Shakers, sponsored by the town, and Fizz Boom Read, sponsored by the library, have calendars filled with weekly activities. And that’s just the everyday stuff. The past two weekends were prime examples of the efforts being executed to bring West Knoxville – and many others – to Farragut for some creative good times. Here are some pictures

Neither holds office today, and Sheriff Jimmy “J.J.” Jones is a former KPD employee who has populated his command staff with KPD retirees. Lyons, a consultant and pollster in the failed 1996 unification attempt, says combining the two governments won’t be easy, despite a friendlier political climate. He’s not sure what happened before, but “we do know that it has never won outside the city.” Ashe said it could be even Peyton Weaver, Jessie Joyner and Ashlee Weaver enjoyed the harder to sell unification to city voters this time around. hot dogs as much as the fishing.

From page A-1 “Even though Tim and Madeline appear to get along, they are totally opposite on almost everything. … Why would (city residents) vote to have a less progressive government that won’t ever vote to raise taxes?” Burchett is undeterred. “We’ve got to get the discussion started,” he said. “It’s not something you just say and it happens. You have to have a lot of community input. “If the community decides it wants to continue with duplication of services, then, we’ll stay on this road. But if they realize there’s a problem, this might resolve it.”

Stephanie Erb, community event planner with NeighborMaker Events, said the partnership with her company, the Farragut Business Alliance and the town of Farragut was a great community connection. “We are celebrating East Tennessee’s synchronized fireflies that appear at Elkmont each year, but we are bringing the party to Farragut,” said Erb. “There is an educational component, a chance for businesses to showcase and network and an opportunity to bring the community together.” Activities included glowin-the-dark climbing wall, slime booth, face painting, Frisbee throws, ring toss and dancing, plus food vendors. Saturday activities at The Cove at Concord Park started at 8 a.m. with the early bird getting the worm for his or her fishing hook. Knox County Parks and Rec hosted a celebration

Recorder Allison Myers and accounting clerk Pam Hall were recognized during the notice that Farragut has received a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting from the Government Finance Officers Association for 22 consecutive years.

From page A-1 of the statewide Free Fishing Day. Tennessee Wildlife Resources officers were on hand with tips and bait. “Free Fishing Day is a day we set aside for people who just want to come out and try fishing without having to buy a license,” said officer Clint Smith. “It’s a one-day deal, and we use it to get kids involved as much as we can. We like to see them get going young so they have a future being involved in wildlife conservation.” Ian Lee, age 3, had been talking up the event to parents and grandparents. “Ian really wanted to go fishing,” said his father, John Lee. “That’s all he’s talked about for the last three days. He’s an East Tennessee all boy.” Crowd estimate was approximately 300 people. The fun continued with the first of the free Second Saturday Concerts at The Cove and the 30th annual Bob Watt Youth Fishing Rodeo. On the horizon are the July Fourth Parade and the Red, White and Blues PreIndependence Day Community Picnic. Info: www. townoffarragut.org/.

The case for crossover voting

Knox County Democrats have a history of voting in Republican primaries. Many times (e.g. last month’s county primary races) Democrats field very few candidates, leaving races to be decided in the GOP primary, so it’s not particularly surprising that conscientious Democrats who want a say in who governs them sometimes check the box marked R. Two years ago, in his first term as 7th District state senator, Stacey Campfield, Dr. Richard Briggs (in white shirt) officially opens his campaign who has a history of narrow headquarters at 9113A Executive Park Drive off Cedar Bluff primary victories over mulRoad.

Campaign kickoff

The raccoon who came to dinner

Betty Bean running against him in 2014. It’s not hard to connect the dots. Although Campfield told the Chattanooga TimesFree Press that he wanted to keep those bent on causing “havoc” out of GOP primaries, it’s a pretty safe bet the havoc he feared was going to be wreaked by Democrats voting in the Republican primary for the purpose of sending Stacey Campfield home. That was before Cheri Siler, who also has her own solid-gold resume – mathematics teacher with two legit college degrees, happily married mother of six accomplished children who is not only “from here” but grew up helping her parents in their family-owned chain

of family restaurants – announced as a candidate and gave Democrats a reason to hope. But not a reason to stay home in the primary. They shouldn’t give up the notion of crossing over and voting in the GOP primary since Siler is unopposed and will do just fine. What they need to do is get over there and vote for Campfield. The district strongly favors Republicans, and Siler will have a tough battle in the November election. But her path will be easier against Campfield than against Dr. Col. Commissioner Briggs. Really, this should be a no-brainer. Meanwhile, Briggs must walk a careful line, attracting as many Republicans as possible while taking care not to offend others who may want to visit, just for Election Day. And for many 7th senatorial district voters, there’s

another reason to cross over. Incumbent 13th District House member, Rep. Gloria Johnson, targeted by Republicans, is running unopposed. Her district overlaps Campfield’s, and her general-election opponent will be the winner of a GOP primary slugfest between newcomers Jason Emert and Eddie Smith. Johnson supporters should vote for the heavily funded Emert, who has demonstrated a knack for shooting himself in the butt and has no track record in the district, which he appears to have moved into in 2013. Smith, on the other hand, grew up in the Alice Bell community and has a strong campaign partner in his wife, former Miss Tennessee Lanna Keck. If he survives the primary, he will be a more formidable opponent for Johnson than Emert would be. This math isn’t hard to do.

the three-overtime victory at Mississippi State for the 1967 SEC title. That was Ron Widby, Tom Boerwinkle, Tom Hendrix, Bill Justus and Billy Hann. If you missed Mears, you missed a treat. A smallercollege national championship at Wittenberg was his springboard to Tennessee. Sports Illustrated featured the team pre-game meal of green JELL-O and oatmeal cookies and mentioned the deliberate offense, matchup zone and player discipline. Nobody in Knoxville noticed. Mears was invited in under cover of darkness and grabbed the UT job offer without even asking what his salary would be. He was

otherwise very smart. He switched to orange JELL-O. In addition to compelling basketball, this coach offered a bag of sideshow tricks, runner-up to the Greatest Show on Earth – Globetrotter warmups, John Paschal wrestling a bear, Roger Peltz riding a unicycle while juggling three balls. The carnival pitchman was a front. Mears was a crafty, calculating, fiercely competitive fighter. He was too forthright to be a good recruiter, but he did a lot with what he got. Mears associate Stu Aberdeen signed Ernie Grunfeld and Bernard King, and they created the best of times. The Mears team that took shape 50 years ago was very interesting. It won the first seven games, took two of three at the Far West Classic,

lost at Vanderbilt and won 10 in a row. The trip to Alabama interrupted the fun. Kentucky won by one in Lexington, and Florida was a twopoint victor in Gainesville. Those Vols – captain A.W. Davis, Widby, Howard Bayne, Larry McIntosh, Austin “Red” Robbins and some other really good guys – finished 20-5, but there was no place to go, no conference tournament, no NCAA opportunity. They finished 12-4 in the SEC. Only champions qualified. It would be a warm, fuzzy gesture if Tennessee brought back that group for a 50th reunion. Old fans could say thanks one more time to A.W. The now generation might discover Vol basketball excitement isn’t a totally new phenomenon.

Mr. Thompson kept his lawn well manicured to ensure the best possible playing conditions. Competition was fierce. And knocking another player’s ball away could become both emotional and personal. On a given Sunday, there could be 10-12 people participating, but only six played while the others watched and cheered their favorite. Someone always brought refreshments, usually fresh-squeezed lemonade or iced tea. Performing arts were plays conducted at Farragut High School. These included productions by students and local play groups. Churches hosted music recitals and the occasional visiting choir. It made no difference which of the three churches sponsored the event, the other two announced it during Sunday service and most everyone attended. In fact, denomination didn’t make much difference either, and for 43 years, the

Methodist and Presbyterian churches held both services and Sunday school together. And browsing through antique shops, book stores and museums was never an option. First, no stores were open on Sunday, and those that were open usually became the subject of a sermon. An example was the Lakeland Service Center at the corner of Concord Road and Front Street. Not only did that establishment stay open, but it also sold beer, and the combination of those two indiscretions always made good subject matter for Sunday sermons. Ironically, Concord Swimming Pool and Concord Marina were always open on Sunday, but without much criticism. That’s probably because almost everyone in old Concord owned a boat or at least had access to one, and since boating and swimming had broad involvement, it was considered to be acceptable entertainment. Another Sunday afternoon pastime was visiting

relatives. Not much happened. We generally sat on the front porch and talked, and my mother would serve dessert. Visits were seldom impromptu, and when someone was coming, mother always fi xed enough food for dinner to ensure we had enough left over for supper. So, reflecting on past and present Sunday afternoons, the most amazing thing is that so much change in thought, attitudes and entertainment has occurred in such a relatively short period of time. But I presume life in old Concord was very similar to life in other rural areas in the South 60 years ago. Life was simple then, and modern conveniences we often take for granted had yet to be discovered. And if I were asked to choose between the present and half a century ago, it would be a hard choice. Certainly, I enjoy the present, but I also enjoyed the past.

Basketball enthusiasm isn’t brand new That was when Vincent Yarbrough and Tony White lit up the town. The year before was good, too. Tennessee defeated Kentucky at Rupp Arena for the first time in 20 years. Don DeVoe directed memorable accomplishments in 1978-79. His Vols whipped Kentucky three times and won the rejuvenated SEC tournament, in mothballs for 27 seasons. That team (Reggie Johnson, Terry Crosby, Gary Carter and friends) recorded Tennessee’s first NCAA tournament triumph. There was some excitement in Ray Mears’ 15 years. His teams never finished worse than third in the SEC. Unforgettable was

Tennessee has, on occasion, done well enough in baskets that fans paid to attend post-season celebrations. Those were fun times. With the almost total changing of the guards (and forwards), March seems long ago and already has been reclassified as the good, old days. Before that, Bruce Pearl pumped the Vols up to No. 1 in the country for a few minutes and, once upon a time, fell one basket short of the Final Four. That would have been a first. The Jerry Green era still confuses me, but I remember highlights. In the year of our Lord 2000, the Vols won 20 of their first 23 games, racked up 26 in all and made it to the Sweet 16.

Donnie Tyndall generated so much excitement with his remarkable recruiting roundup, a spur-of-the-moment thing, that basketball is suddenly a summer sport.

People who didn’t know there was a Rocky Top League are now asking about rosters and schedules. Youngsters wonder if there has ever been anything like this outburst of enthusiasm. Well, the answer is yes,

On a Sunday afternoon Sunday afternoons offer a selection of cultural, educational and entertainment opportunities that would have been beyond my imagination 60 years ago. Typically, after church we often join friends for lunch at one of the many fine restaurants in our area. After lunch, we can choose a round of golf with friends or perhaps a matinee cultural event like a Clarence Brown Theatre presentation or a Knoxville Opera Company performance. And of course, there are always good cinemas playing or interesting sports events on TV. One of my favorite Sunday afternoon pastimes is visiting area museums. And with the diverse shops we now have in our area, it’s easy to entertain yourself by just browsing through them in search of that one item you’ve been wanting for some time.

So, part of getting ready to go to church was to have dinner (lunch) partially prepared the night before, and that included catching the chicken. We generally had fried chicken and occasionally pork chops or baked ham for Sunday dinner. But my mother could fry chicken in a way that would put the Colonel to shame. In fact, if the Colonel could have fried chicken as good as my mother’s, he would have been a general. As for golf after church, we barely knew that such a game existed. There were no television programs that featured golf, and for that matter there weren’t many television sets. But croquet was a favorite pastime, and several families regularly sponsored croquet matches on Sunday afternoon. I usually participated in one sponsored by the Alder Thompson family who lived directly across the street.

Malcolm Shell

But on a Sunday afternoon 60 years ago in old Concord, life was more structured in that you did about the same thing every Sunday. First, having dinner (lunch) out after church was not something you did because there were no restaurants. There was a chicken restaurant (Dender’s Tender Chicken) at Dixie Lee Junction, and the Duisen family ran a country-style restaurant where the old Court Café was located. But there was no local restaurant in the Concord-Farragut area. And of course, fast food establishments were still years in the future.

BMX bikers, skaters entertain at Cokesbury fun night By Sherri Gardner Howell Summer Family Fun Nights at Cokesbury United Methodist Church got off to an “extreme” crowd-pleaser, especially for the kids, with demonstrations and testimonies from Enemy Opposition on June 2 at the main Cokesbury campus. The fun nights were also held at the Hardin Valley campus (at Hardin Valley Academy) on

Sunday nights. Designed to be a “familystyle” Vacation Bible School style program, the church offered three different events on three consecutive Sundays and Mondays. Enemy Opposition got it started with a series of extreme BMX bikes, inline skates and skateboarding tricks. Members of the group followed their stunts with

their testimonies. “I’m here to encourage you guys,” shared Mitch Radcliffe, 18, a member of Enemy Opposition. “I’ve learned one of the best ways to live a happy life is to try to love people to the best of your ability. It’s living by the Golden Rule. Love your enemies. It’s radical thinking for sure, but hate can’t grow where love lives.”

‘A Little Princess’

offers opportunity at Erin Presbyterian By Wendy Smith An upcoming production of “A Little Princess” by the Erin Youth Players will be a high-caliber production with professional direction and musicians. But the development of the teen actors is a higher priority than the show itself. The theater troupe has been active at Erin Presbyterian Church, 200 Lockett Road, for over a decade, says Karen Stump, one of the elders who oversees the congregation’s Creative Expressions Ministry Team. “A Little Princess” was chosen for its large cast and its touching, sweet message, she says. While many scripts feature one or two starring roles and a large ensemble, those that offer a large number of strong roles are typically chosen for the Erin Youth Players. “We want to give lots of children the chance to shine,” says Stump.

The goals of the troupe are to educate young actors and singers and reach out to the community. Open auditions are advertised, and about half of each cast typically comes from outside the congregation. The current production features 16 teens who range from rising 6th-graders to recently-graduated seniors. Stump says theater gives kids a way to use and develop their God-given talents. The church also offers a theater program for elementary school students plus dance and music programs. A trio of singers called MCM for Him serves the community by performing in nursing homes. Having such experiences helps kids develop self-confidence, she says. “By the time they’re in high school, they’re singing

solos and speaking publicly. They’re giving back to the community and giving back to the church.” Erin Youth Players is a mission, and Erin Presbyterian generously supports the shows financially. Parents of young thespians also pitch in, Stump says. The musical “A Little Princess” is based on the 1905 novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett, who lived in Knoxville when she began her writing career. It tells the story of a young heiress, Sara Crewe, who is left at a seminary by her widowed father, a Royal Air Force captain, at the beginning of World War II. She is a favorite at the seminary until word arrives that her father was killed, and the seminary owner schemes to steal her fortune.

Mitch Radcliffe shares his testimony with the more than 200 people who came out to enjoy Family Night at Cokesbury United Methodist Church.

Meet the interns! By Ruth White Charlie Hamilton is a rising 9th grader at Union C o u n ty High School. If he had a time machine, Charlie would go into the future to see how his life Hamilton would turn out. He likes photography and his favorite thing about Knoxville is downtown. When asked what he would try to save if his house were burning, Charlie said he would make sure his family was safe and then get his pictures and medals (he is a second degree, level three black belt). Joshua Mode will be in the 10th grade at Halls High and is a member of the marching band. If he could have lunch with one celebrity, living or dead, J o s h u a Mode would like to meet Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. If he had a time machine, Joshua would like to go back to the 1950s and show off the technology of this era. If stranded on a deserted island, he would like to have Nicki Minaj’s new album, the book “Imaginalis” and a couch for sleeping. Leila Hennon will be a 9th grader at West High this fall. She lives in Halls and loves World’s Fair Park. If possible, Leila would like to have lunch with Adam Levine and Hennon if she could go back in time she would like to see the fall of Rome. In her free time, Leila enjoys volunteering at the art center. If her house were burning, she would grab her teddy bear and make sure her brother was safe.

Donna Mitchell is a rising 11th grader at West High School. She enjoys w r iting and would like to have lunch with Anderson Cooper one day. If she could go Mitchell back in time she would like to experience the 1970s. If she were stranded on a deserted island she would want to take along “A Tale of Two Cities,” the song “Rumble and Sway” by Jamie N. Commons and soap. Julia Grant will be in the 9th grade at Central High in the fall. She lives in Fountain City and loves dow ntow n K nox v i l le . She enjoys singing and Grant play ing the guitar and if she could go back in time she would like to hear Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I have a dream” speech. Julia likes photography and if her house were on fire, she would save a picture of herself and her grandmother, a picture of her great-grandfather and her great-grandmother’s necklace. Zoe Risely is a rising 9th grader at West High. She lives in Bearden and loves Market Square dow ntow n. If she could have lunch with a celebrity, she would pick Risely John Lennon and if she could go back in time it would be to Woodstock. Zoe is very talented and has been in a short film for a contest, sang at her mother’s wedding and enjoys rock climbing. If her house were on fire she would grab her ukulele, writing journal and songbook.

WATE-TV news anchor Gene Patterson interviews Joe McDonald, one of the Apple Butter Brothers of the Union County Masonic Bodies at the J.C. Baker Lodge in Maynardville. Shopper-News interns went along to observe Patterson in action (and eat apple butter). The segment, sponsored by Food City, will air this Friday. Photo by Ruth White

Meet the Apple Butter Brothers By Sandra Clark Lies, awesome apple butter and more lies highlighted a visit to the J.C. Baker Lodge when WATETV news anchor Gene Patterson dropped by to video some authentic country cooking. Shopper-News interns came along to watch a real television production. Patterson made everyone feel at ease, and Joe McDonald fired up the oven with some “homemade” biscuits from Food City. Making apple butter is a four-hour process, Don Bridges explained. Luckily, members of the Apple Butter Brothers had arrived early, and the pot was bubbling to the perfect consistency. The interns got plastic

spoonfuls of the mixture, straight from the kettle. “Is this hot?” asked one. Yikes! The Maynardville Masons started making apple butter about eight years ago. “We came up with the idea after we discovered a little chapter with about 20 members that had more money than any other chapter. They raised it making apple butter,” said Bridges. “First we laughed, then we cried, then we got to work,” somebody else chimed in. It’s hot work for sure. The apple butter must be constantly stirred to prevent scorching. The men take turns pushing the wooden paddle. McDonald said that,

too, is an art: “You don’t want it to go glop-glop-glop, and you don’t want to glop ... glop. You’ve got to stir it just right. “We sit around and talk,” he added. “There’s a lot more going on than apple butter. There’s a lot of fellowship.” The Masons sell their product at regional festivals. A pint retails for $7 ($5 to fellow Masons). The J.C. Baker Lodge supports local Boy Scouts, sending two to camp each summer, but its major project is to provide shoes to those in need. During the school year, the men open the fellowship hall on the first and third Saturdays to distribute shoes to anyone

who shows up – 600 pairs last year. Jim Chadwell explains: “We don’t ask where they’re from or how much they make. We just ask for their shoe size.” The Shopper-News interns saw a news professional in action as Patterson and his camera operator taped the Masons. Then the Masons served biscuits and apple butter for all. Great fun! The segment will air on WATE on Friday, June 20, Patterson said. It’s part of a series on locally produced food sponsored by Food City. Tune in to see some mighty fine fellows having fun as they benefit the community.

Gene Patterson: a great guy By Donna Mitchell Those who watch WATE, 6 news, are no doubt familiar with the polished anchor Gene Patterson; however, the Shopper-News interns now know him as the “guy that stuck hot apple butter in his mouth.” Either way, Gene Patterson’s still a great guy. He began his career as an editor for his high school newspaper, and then moved on to being a bartender to put himself through college. Patterson says he never really knew how he became interested in journalism, “it was just obvious where I belonged,” and as sure as the sun rises he’s been doing it ever since. The interns joined Patterson as he interviewed the men behind some pretty amazing apple butter (if I do say so myself). Throughout the process, Patterson moved about skillfully, but he still treated it as if he were covering his first news story. The manner in which he questioned the men as well as our intern group

showed an almost unreal, genuine sense of kindness and warm inquisitiveness you can hardly find anymore. He described the process as “kind of like making sausage.” What happens behind the camera is all protocol for the finished product. Although the work is tedious – from shooting clip-byclip footage, trying to get the right angle, or fighting

to get some good lighting – there’s always enough room for the warm belly laugh of Gene Patterson and all who have the opportunity of being around him. Aside from his career in journalism he worked briefly in government (deputy to Mayor Victor Ashe), but realized where he belonged and quickly got back to it. He told us that “it’s not about the money, it’s about

the satisfaction.” That’s what’s key to your career. Having a career as a journalist has awarded him the experience of meeting great people with great stories and engaging in situations that wouldn’t have been possible otherwise. Patterson declared the best part about his job is that “you never know what tomorrow may bring.”

Eric Vreeland and Jesse Mayshark discuss the city’s plans to clean up Fountain City Lake.

Meet Jesse Mayshark From ‘Teddy Bear Times’ to the ‘New York Times’ By Zoe Risley From New York to Knoxville, Jesse Fox Mayshark has an extensive history in journalism. A native of Rochester, New York, Mayshark made his journalism debut at age 8 with the “Teddy Bear Times,” a newspaper with a circulation of four comprised mostly

of comic strips and the occasional news story. He worked on his high school newspaper as well as the paper at Pennsylvania State, where he earned his degree in journalism. After college, he moved to Knoxville to pursue a job at Whittle Communications, which unfortunately

Even the ducks don’t like the water conditions at the lake.

Cleaning up Fountain City Lake By Julia Grant The Fountain City Lake (just don’t call it the “Duck Pond”) has always had problems with algae, but lately it’s been getting worse. As recently as five years ago, the Fountain City Lions Club (lake and park managers) poured chemicals into the lake to kill off the algae and other plant life. The Lions were ordered to stop because the chemicals were flowing into First Creek. Fountain City Lake has a variety of problems. ■ The lake has limited water circulation since the

redesign of the fountain. ■ A leak into the channel on the Broadway side of the lake keeps the water level low. ■ The bottom of the lake has a mossy, clay-like liner with large rocks, which has been there for some time. ■ If the algae isn’t taken care of soon, the lake cannot sustain life because the algae will have taken all the oxygen out of the water. Knoxville city government has allocated $250,000 to design solutions and repair these problems. For the people of

Fountain City, that means a lot of bake sales that we don’t have to have. The Sheriff’s Office will provide labor of some responsible inmates to help clean up the lake. Jesse Mayshark and Eric Vreeland, who handle communications for Mayor Madeline Rogero, explained that to fi x these problems, workers may possibly scrap the bottom of the lake, fi x the leak and raise the water level. The city will get started when the engineering design is completed.

closed soon after Mayshark arrived. He worked at a daily paper in Sevier County for a while before acquiring a position as education reporter for the News Sentinel for two years. He then became a reporter for Metro Pulse for five years, covering a wide range of topics. Craving big city life, he moved back to New York, this time to Manhattan, for a job as copy editor for the “New York Times.” He relocated to Gainesville, Florida, after two years at the Times, when the need for copy editors declined. He eventually found himself back in Knoxville with the Metro Pulse before becoming the communications director for Mayor Madeline Rogero in 2011. So whether he is handing copies of the “Teddy Bear Times” to family members, or navigating the back roads of Pigeon Forge, Jesse Mayshark has always led a life of journalism.

Zoe Risley shows a top from Folly Boutique on Hotel Avenue. While on a tour of Fountain City, the group stopped in the boutique, which opened in March, to do a little window shopping. Folly Boutique is located at 104 Hotel Ave. and is open 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. TuesdayThursday and 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Closed Sunday and Monday. Like them on Facebook to check out new arrivals.

Next week Shopper-News interns will report next week on our visit to the Mabry-Hazen House, lunch at Time Warp Tea Room and a chat with owner Dan Moriarty, and a guided tour of Old Gray Cemetery. If there’s time we might drop by the Three Rivers

Food Co-op where a real butcher prepares fresh cuts. Happy Holler is coming back with the opening of Flats and Taps and support from the city. There’s a bike route and on-street parking. It’s a great example of mixed use development with a blend of

churches and bars alongside retail and commercial businesses within walking distance of homes and apartments. And don’t forget the Original Freezo! The Shopper-News interns will visit places some of you will never even drive through. Come on along!

NEWS FROM CHRISTIAN ACADEMY OF KNOXVILLE

It’s camp time at CAK! Christian Academy of Knoxville offers 13 diverse camps each summer ranging from academics, to arts and athletics. Two most favored by elementary age students are Art Camp and Cooking Camp.

■ Paint brushes to plaster Elementary age campers at CAK were given free rein to tap into their creativity at Summer Art Camp. Children exercised their artistic ability to create masterpieces in media such as plaster sculpturing, painting and drawing. Elementary Art teacher Susan Beaumont and CAK high school student Monica Beaumont led the camp. “This is our second year,” said CAK mom Andrea Engle. “Art camps are few and far between in our area. It offers kids a fun time to be around friends in the summertime while doing something they love. Engle added, “One of my children is very artistic by nature. The camp is a great way for her to channel her talents. “ Completed art projects are then given to the children to take home and show off to friends and family.

Kyle Regan, Ansley Brown and Chef Andrika Langham enjoy Cooking Camp at CAK.

■ Future cooks made at CAK

Liza Cotton and Chef Andrika Langham whip up something yummy at CAK’s Cooking Camp.

At Cooking Camp, campers learned valuable skills needed to be a true Junior Chef. The camp was led by chefs Andrika Langham and Keli Eichholtz. Children acquired several handson techniques known and used by experienced chefs. Campers learned how to read a recipe, measure, and see a recipe through, and practiced these skills making scrambled eggs, crunch French toast, cream cheese icing, guacamole, Mexican cornbread, peach cobbler and more. A favorite was Mystery Grab Bag day where campers pulled four recipes out of a bag and prepared as a group. Campers were also taught proper cooking etiquette and how to entertain guests. At the end of the week, Junior Chefs left with a cookbook of all camp recipes, recipe essentials, and a wealth of insight to put to good use in the kitchen.

Day is new CAK boys soccer coach Christian Academy of Knoxville announced Thursday that Jon Day has been hired as the school’s new boys soccer coach. “I’m excited about the opportunity to come back to CAK, where I was an assistant for three years, and continue to build on the firm foundation that previous coaches and players have laid down,” Day said. “I’m excited about the challenges ahead.” Day has served as head coach of the Oak Ridge Boys Soccer team for the past five seasons, where he was two-time district coach of the year. He led Oak Ridge to four regional semi-finalist appearances and coached three all-state and eight all-region players. “I’m very proud of what the boys soccer

CAK’s Cooking Camp students receive instruction from Chef Andrika Langham.

Jon Day community has been able to build over the last ﬁve years,” Day said of Oak Ridge. “The parents and players have been very supportive, and it will be difﬁcult to leave.” Day is currently the Assistant Director of Technology at CAK. He spent three years as head middle school coach and three years as assistant boys varsity coach for the

Warriors. During that time, Day was part of two state titles and one runner-up ﬁnish. CAK boys soccer has a solid tradition of state championships. The Warriors have claimed the state title in eight of the last 12 years. “I think the expectation to win in the CAK boys soccer program is something that is always going to be there and you have to embrace that and know that’s part of how you have to shape and mold the team as you move forward through the season,” Day said. The focus, however, will

be more than just winning championships, Day added. “I think being disciplined in the little things means being focused on the ﬁeld, establishing our soccer identity, our style of play,” Day said. “That philosophy follows through to respecting our opponents, referees, representing Christ, our school and our families with our actions on and off the ﬁeld and I think ultimately continuing the legacy of CAK soccer.” As a player, Day was team captain and an all-conference selection for the Baylor University Men’s Soccer Club in

1997. Baylor was a ﬁnalist in the National Club Championship two of Day’s four years there. He also has coaching experience with the SCOR Rayders Soccer Club, FC Alliance and Knoxville Force. “We’re thrilled to add Jon to our coaching staff at CAK,” Athletic Director John East said. “He brings a wealth of experience, is already known here at the school, is familiar with the area and has had success at this level. It’s great to have someone like Jon stepping in to take over the boys soccer program.”

Longest Day Hiking enthusiasts plan extended trek for Alzheimer’s By Betsy Pickle South Knoxvillians Steve Madden and Kim Pieratt love to hike, whether it’s in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park or in the nearby Urban Wildnerness. But this weekend, they’re going to find out if they really can get too much of a good thing. Saturday, June 21, has been dubbed The Longest Day by the Alzheimer’s Association. On the summer solstice, people around the world will spend 16 hours basically doing one activity to show their support for people with Alzheimer’s disease and their caregivers while raising money for research. Madden and Pieratt have chosen hiking in the Smokies for their activity and have done practice hikes of 11 and 10 and a half hours. Others will be doing anything from playing bridge to jogging to knitting. Advocating for Alzheimer’s has become a personal quest for Madden, whose father died of the disease last December. “The reason I got so motivated to try to do something … is I saw how it affected my stepmother,” says Madden,

who works for the Auto Club Group. “Dad lived at home until the last two weeks of his life, and she was basically his 24-hour-a-day caregiver. She got to the point where she could hardly sleep a wink, she was so afraid of what he was going to do in the middle of the night. He would walk out of the house sometimes; we wouldn’t know where he went. We’d find him a few hours later wandering around the neighborhood. What she went through was kind of like torture.” The figures are ominous. According to the Alzheimer’s Association, more than 5 million Americans are living with the disease, including 110,000 in Tennessee, with up to 16 million expected to be affected by 2050. Alzheimer’s is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States, and there is no known treatment to prevent it or cure it. The financial toll is sobering, with family members – primarily females – providing billions of hours of unpaid care. Madden got involved after his father contracted Alzheimer’s, and he enlisted

Pieratt, a friend and ministry assistant at First Baptist Church, to join him in 2012 on the annual Walk to End Alzheimer’s. The Longest Day, which was launched a couple of years ago, is even more appealing to Madden. He learned about it last year after the day had taken place. “It’s a simulation of what it might be like for a caregiver,” says Madden, who, along with Pieratt, has also gotten involved in legislative advocacy on behalf of Alzheimer’s. “I think of my stepmother, Bertha, being with my dad all day long every day and what that must have been like for her. Hiking for 16 hours on one day is not going to be easy, but at the end of that day I can go back to my real life and not have to worry about it. To me, it’s going to be a way of thinking all day long about what it must be like for the patients and for the caregivers, from the minute you wake up in the morning till you go to sleep at night, to deal with the disease.” To donate or join a team, visit www.alz.org/longestday. To support Madden’s team, click “Find a Team” and enter Steven Madden as team captain.

Wine in stores petition drive By Shannon Carey John Jones of Food City and Tim Coggins of Kroger met at the Morrell Road Food City to launch the Red, White and Food statewide petition campaign to allow a referendum for wine sales in retail food stores on the Nov. 4 ballot. The petitions will be available in Food City, Kroger,

Publix and Food Lion locations on alternating dates and times. No digital signatures are allowed, and those signing the petition must be registered voters. In eligible communities where the referendum passes, retail food stores will be able to sell wine beginning July 1, 2016. “Customers have told us

repeatedly that they want to be able to buy wine where they shop for food,” said Coggins. The enabling legislation was a compromise between grocery stores and retail liquor stores. It allows package stores to sell beer and other items. Info: www.redwhiteandfood.com/.

I’ve never known of a fitness center like this. When I joined FSHFC, I didn’t know how to begin my fitness journey. I started by having a complimentary fitness assessment done to determine my current fitness level. The exercise physiologist then helped me set goals and designed a workout plan specifically for me! One of my favorite things to do at FSHFC is water aerobics. These classes combine shallow and deep water exercises that utilize buoyancy belts, water weights and other equipment for a great workout. They even have an Aqua Zumba class! I highly recommend this facility because of the wonderful staff and the wide variety of exercise options – there’s no room for boredom!

News from KCDC

Telling the story of East Knoxville By Alvin Nance Knoxville historian Robert Booker recently published his newest work, a booklet titled â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Story of East Knoxville.â&#x20AC;? K C D C and Lawler Nance Wood Housing Partners LLC sponsored the printing as well as a reprint of the booklet Booker wrote in 2008 about the history of Mechanicsville, which includes the HOPE VI project that replaced the aging College Homes development with modern and affordable housing. Understanding the history of the neighborhoods that we serve is imperative for KCDC to be able to improve and transform those communities while respecting their cultural heritage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Story of East Knoxvilleâ&#x20AC;? begins in 1791, by which time the Great Valley of East Tennessee had become known as Knoxville, and runs through present day. From 1856 to 1869, East Knoxville was its own municipality with a mayor and city council. Two additional municipalities, Park City (1907) and Mountain View (1909), also were located in East Knoxville. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People should know their history,â&#x20AC;? Booker said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about people having a sense of pride in their community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;East Knoxville has led in a number of ways. It is home to Chilhowee Park,

the Safety Building and the Civic Coliseum. There are a number of things in East Knoxville that people can be proud of, but sometimes thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s overshadowed.â&#x20AC;? The Knoxville Utilities Board and the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s water system originated in East Knoxville. In 1894, the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first water tank, which held 500,000 gallons, was erected on a high hill where Green Magnet Academy is today. The booklet also touches on current changes happening in the community and the affordable housing being built by KCDC in Five Points, formerly Park City. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Story of East Knoxvilleâ&#x20AC;? includes photos of the Residences at Eastport, a senior housing development that repurposed the historic Eastport Elementary School built in 1932, and of the new single-family homes and duplexes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;KCDC is an organization that helps to rebuild communities,â&#x20AC;? Booker said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In rebuilding, it sometimes needs to tell the story of what the communities are all about. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Story of East Knoxvilleâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Story of Mechanicsville,â&#x20AC;? as well as Bookerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first book, â&#x20AC;&#x153;200 Years of Black Culture in Knoxville,â&#x20AC;? are available for purchase at the Beck Cultural Exchange Center, 1927 Dandridge Ave., or by calling 524-8461.

Pick up a brush at Painting With a Twist By Bonny C. Millard When Painting With a Twist owner Patty Walden tells customers you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be an artist to enjoy her business, she speaks from experience. Her own background included graphic arts and drawing, but she had never painted before she considering buying a franchise of Painting With a Twist more than three years ago. As part of her research, Walden traveled to a Nashville franchise and participated in a class. The concept and the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roots intrigued her. She was hooked and opened her business at 10932 Murdock Drive in December 2010. During class, the music is rocking, the paint is flowing and the goal is having a good time. Walden said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not only about creating art but also about the experience. Art teachers lead students through the steps as they create a finished painting that they can take home. First timers are usually surprised with the quality of their work, she said. Walden said the painting classes are â&#x20AC;&#x153;stress bustersâ&#x20AC;? that allow people to relax and enjoy the evening while exploring their creativity. The history of how the company began appeals to Walden, and she is quick to share. After Hurricane Katrina in 2005, Louisiana women Cathy Deano and Renee Maloney wanted to help lift the spirits of people in their community. They founded Corks N Canvas in 2007. In 2009, the company, which had four locations in the greater New Orleans area, started franchising the business as Painting With a Twist.

Owner Patty Walden paints a mini-canvas at Painting With a Twist.

Millard The womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s desire to give back to their community also involved holding fundraisers. A franchisewide monthly event, Painting With a Purpose, is held to support a local nonprofit. Waldenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s location participates in this with proceeds going to a different organization each month. In addition, Walden likes to be involved in other fundraisers when the opportunity arises. Walden offers a wide selection of classes and has a monthly calendar on the local website that shows what will be taught and when. The

experience can be tailored for birthday parties for children and adults, private parties, corporate team building, bachelorette parties, couples painting, pet painting and advanced painting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Paint Your Own Petâ&#x20AC;? involves individual instruction. The participant emails a picture of his or her pet, and an instructor sketches it out on a canvas to be painted by the pet owner during a scheduled class. Walden said the company has 3,500 paintings that are copyright protected, and those who book private par-

ties can select any painting. The collection of paintings has come from some of the artists working in the franchises. Art instructors have the opportunity to create a painting and submit it to a company contest. Recently, two of Waldenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s artists won first and third place, and their pieces will be added to the collection. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a great ride,â&#x20AC;? Walden said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My business has literally tripled from a year ago.â&#x20AC;? Info: www. paintingw ithatw ist.com/ knoxville.

Carolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Corner Knoxvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Franklin Square, wants you to know about one of the latest ones. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pleased to offer Laneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new performance hall â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a small, comfortable, welllighted venue that seats 50 to 60 people. On a recent Thursday

evening, the Knoxville Jazz Festival Board Band provided an enjoyable, varied concert in the hall. The players â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Tom Johnson on piano and soprano saxophone, Emily Mathis on piano and flute, Taylor Coker on standup bass, Will Boyd on saxophone and EWI (more about that later) and Keith Brown on drums â&#x20AC;&#x201C; were clearly having a good time entertaining some 30 jazz fans. Brown said of the space, â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has a nice room size. We play unamplified bass and piano. The audience is in view, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not talking. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reminiscent of the small rooms and clubs where jazz was born. This is the way itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meant to be played.â&#x20AC;? The quintet took the audience through many bal-

lads and up-tempo songs. At one point, sax player Boyd introduced the EWI (â&#x20AC;&#x153;EEwee,â&#x20AC;?) an acronym for â&#x20AC;&#x153;electronic wind instrument.â&#x20AC;? Blown like a sax, with a similar key-fingering system, the instrument houses a synthesizer in its small body. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capable of producing not only single notes but chords and effects such as slides, which Boyd incorporated in a very musical and entertaining way. Two of the players â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Mathis and Johnson â&#x20AC;&#x201C; took turns going back and forth from wind instruments to piano. Coker, who just completed nursing school, has been holding audiences in thrall with his stunning bass playing since he was a teenager. All in all, the five were typical of Knoxvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s jazz communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;cream of

the cropâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; polished, virtuosic and clearly in love with their art form. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Each time you play jazz,â&#x20AC;? said Mathis, â&#x20AC;&#x153;it refreshes your spirit.â&#x20AC;? Nelda Hill, founder and facilitator of the Knoxville Jazz Festival, sat nearby with a clipboard. She was constantly approached by enthusiasts who wanted to be on the festivalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s email list. Obviously, they liked what they were hearing. Thaemert, who is himself a rock guitarist, was all smiles as he took photos of the players. Speaking of his decision to provide the performance space, he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Recitals and pianos go hand in hand, and since we are THE Kawai piano store in Knoxville, it was essential that we have a hall like this.â&#x20AC;? He firmly believes that

music education is for the whole family, not just the child enrolled in music lessons. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted to keep the family environment. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so important. So our recital hall has an intimate vibe. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The experience of live music is going to touch kids in some way. They may love it, they may even hate it, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to affect them strongly.â&#x20AC;? Thaemert believes that such live performances are â&#x20AC;&#x153;fueling the future of music,â&#x20AC;? and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eager for musicians of all types to take advantage of what he offers. He particularly wants to host classical chamber music performances in the hall. Keith Brown sums up its appeal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This,â&#x20AC;? he says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;is a very honest place to play.â&#x20AC;? Send story suggestions to news@ ShopperNewsNow.com/.

New partnership lets artists shine Concord Christian School is excited to announce its partnership with Zero Gravity Productions and Studio and Hollywood Connect. CCS is the only school in Tennessee to have a connection with a Hollywood production company. The benefits to the students in theatre arts, technology, and audio/visual production resulting from this opportunity will be incredible. “As we grow our theatre arts and technical components, this partnership will be vital in assuring that we do every component with excellence. To be able to partner with a company like Zero Gravity, who we know is like-minded in faith, is an unbelievable opportunity for our students,” said Ruston Pierce, CCS Headmaster. CCS and Zero Gravity want to train and equip students to provide artistic excellence and influence Hollywood at its core. John McMillan, a freelance producer, screen writer, and the owner of Zero Gravity Pictures, became enamored with filmmaking at an early age. McMillan grew up attending church at First Baptist Concord and serves as the director for Hollywood Connect. Through his company and industry contacts in top Hollywood companies, McMillan will provide educational support, skills and training as well as experiences to prepare students for careers in the entertainment industry.

“We work alongside 5,000 people in Hollywood throughout every aspect of production and our primary goal is to equip believers to be a light in the entertainment industry,” McMillan shared. Hollywood Connect started in 2003 as a resource for entertainment professionals (from actors to technical support) in the faith-based community, and it continues to approach the arts and entertainment from a JudeoChristian worldview. Hollywood Connect equips creative artists and professionals to thrive personally and professionally in the arts, media and entertainment industries. Hollywood Connect offers guidance and resources for both newcomers and long-time veterans on every level – creative, intellectual, emotional, spiritual and physical – with an emphasis on excellence, artistic growth, cultural inﬂuence and relationships. Hollywood Connect also serves college students and college graduates as they make the transition from college life to careers in the entertainment industry. CCS High School students will be able to choose from Multimedia/Audio Visual Production, Graphic Design, Coding and Theatre Arts as elective classes for this coming school year. These elective classes will be 100 percent project-based, with the goal of inspiring students and helping them to de-

In describing college graduates who arrive in Hollywood with plenty of academic training but no real experience, McMillan emphasized, “We want our students at CCS to receive hands-on experience. They will have opportunities to make mistakes and then time and guid-

ance to solve the challenge and learn how to make it better.” Concord Christian School has the unique beneﬁt of an incredible campus with multiple ﬁne-arts stages, state of the art technical equipment as well as professional support. An on-site instructor will work directly with McMillan to teach

At least once a semester, McMillan will fly in from California to teach in person. Additionally, CCS will annually send a group of highschool students to Hollywood for a week. The students will shadow every aspect of the entertainment industry and have incredible, behind-the-scenes opportunities to visit sets of major studios. The partnership with Zero Gravity will also be providing specialized production assistance with campus productions. For 2014-2015 the school year, the CCS Productions will be “A Suessified Christmas Carol” and “The Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe.” CCS Theatre Director Christi Avant is elated for the opportunity to work with so many industry professionals to produce excellent and entertaining performances.

Bake sale boosts Helping Hands Each elementary grade at Concord Christian School has a local and global focus for charity work. “For the last two years, CCS 4th graders have worked with the Helping Hands Ministry of First Baptist Concord to partner with Joni and Friends of Knoxville,” said 4th grade teacher Jennifer Alford. “The children learn that God loves every person, and every person can know, love and worship God. One of the most impactful things that we did during the year was having students praying speciﬁcally for one member of the Helping Hands Ministry as their prayer partner.” First Baptist Concord is honored to serve those who have special needs. Helping Hands is a weekday ministry of FBC for young adults with special needs who have graduated from high school. With the help of support staff, Helping Hands has three days of activities both on and of campus. There are currently 20 participants in the program and a waiting list of another 12. The goal of this ministry is to bring individuals who have special needs and their families into a sustaining, empowering relationship with God through the love of Jesus Christ. They also

strive to help those with special needs to maintain and increase life skills through fellowship and service. “The students learned a lot about living with a disability,” said Alford. Throughout the school year, the 4th graders had opportunities to participate in various activities with the members of the Helping Hands group,

They raised $1,200 in one day, enough to send three to camp. The students had fun working the bake sale with their Helping Hands friends and have opened their hearts and built friendships with this special group. Donations are still welcomed, email Knudsen at dknudsen@fbconcord.org if you desire to help send a special student to camp Helping Hands members look forward to summer camp all year. This year, First Baptist Concord will take 20 campers and staff for a week at no cost to their families. Joni and Friends Family Camp provides dynamic programs that refresh and strengthen people who live with disability. Camp is held at a facility that offers accessibility to all types of persons with disabilities. While at camp the

group gets to participate in exciting adventures, plenty of outdoor recreational activities as well as traditions such as campﬁres, concerts and more. “The Helping Hands members have a love for Jesus and a desire to minister to others,” said Steve Peek, FBC Pastor of Legacy Builders and Minister to Special Needs. “Our Helping Hands members demonstrate this love everywhere they go. They see lives impacted through their willingness to reach out to many people by kind deeds, loving words, bright smiles, handshakes and hugs.

Dog Bone implant keeps Bunting ‘in the swing’

Brady says that with shoulder or collarbone separations, the joint, the ligaments and the capsule connecting the bones can be injured to variable degrees, depending on the severity of the injury. As in Bunting’s case, injuries are commonly caused by a fall directly on the point of the shoulder. This type of injury can cause significant pain and tenderness at the front of the shoulder joint. “Sometimes the patient will notice something sticking up in his or her shoulder,” Brady said. “The Dog Bone implant is a type of washer that will secure the clavicle back down to its normal position, allowing the body’s torn ligaments to heal.” “With surgery and this implant, patients can experience improved function, less pain and get back to sports within six months,” Brady says. Bunting testifies that it’s working for him and that the With his new Dog Bone shoulder implant, Wayne Bunting is able to be back out on the outcome is much better than course. what he imagines it would be with the old method of surgically With input from Brady, Arthrex inserting screws.

Mobility is good, but it products and education.

Preventing shoulder injuries

Shouldering the pain Shoulder problems come in several different forms, from dislocation and separation to fractures and arthritis. If you’ve injured your shoulder, the tried and true RICE method is usually the best ﬁrst course of action:

Rest – Resist using the shoulder for 48 hours. Ice – Apply an ice pack for 20 minutes every couple of hours. Compression – Put even pressure on the injured area using a bandage or wrap. Elevation – Keep the injured area above your heart and place a pillow under your shoulder when you lie down. If the pain persists or worsens, see your doctor for diagnosis and treatment. If you don’t have a family physician, call Parkwest at 865-374-PARK (7275) for help in ﬁnding one near you.

The shoulder has a wide range of motion, which has its benefits and drawbacks. While it’s the most flexible joint in the body, Paul Brady, MD, board-certified orthopedic surgeon at Parkwest Medical Center, says that flexibility tends to make the shoulder unstable and easily hurt. Keeping your shoulders strong can reduce the risk of injury. Stay active and add exercises to your workout focusing on your shoulders, neck and back. Make sure you do an equal amount of pushing and pulling in weight training, so the back of your shoulder gets the same muscle-building action as the front. Stretching exercises, range of motion movements and good posture are other proactive ways to help your shoulder resist injury. But there are also some things to avoid: ■ Don’t carry objects that are too heavy, and make sure you carry bags and backpacks correctly. ■ Try not to overuse your shoulders in a repetitive, stress-

ful motion. For example, if you’re painting a ceiling and holding your arms over your head for an extended period of time, schedule frequent breaks to rest your shoulder and apply ice if you feel pain. ■ If you think your job may be

causing injury to your shoulders, talk to your human resources department about ﬁnding alternatives to get the job done. Modiﬁcations to equipment might be an option.

Wayne Bunting will be the ﬁrst to tell you that he plays of a lot of golf. “In Tennessee you’re able to even golf in January and February,” says the 67-year-old retiree who spent most of his career in northern Iowa. “I enjoy getting out and staying active.” Bunting isn’t known as a small hitter. Even in his mid-60s he could still get 250-yard drives. “I love it,” he says. But the retirement pastime that brought Bunting so much joy ended up bringing him a lot of trouble, too. Last summer he experienced a sort of “bump and run” when he fell on a golf course near his home in Algood, Tenn. The toe of his shoe caught on a rope that surrounded a green, and he tumbled down a slope. Bunting says he tried to pull in and roll to avoid injury but apparently wasn’t able to draw his shoulder in enough to prevent a damaging impact. “I thought I’d broken my collarbone, because it was sticking up,” Bunting says. “But I went ahead and ﬁnished putting,” he adds with a grin. “I drove my golf cart home, came in the door and told my wife, ‘I broke my shoulder – take me to the hospital.’ ” That trip to the hospital revealed there were no broken bones, but all the tendons had been separated from his shoulder. It was recommended that he wait for six months before thinking about surgery. “If I moved it, I felt it,” Bunting says. “I couldn’t golf, and if I tried to take a swing, it felt like my collarbone was going to come through my skin.” Waiting half a year for progress was not something Bunting wanted to do. A doctor friend agreed that he shouldn’t have to.

Coffee Break with

Brand new knees and ankles!

What is your passion? Football and golf. Unfortunately I can still only play one of them. I used to be a really big golfer. Usually this time of year I’d have 40 or 50 rounds in by June. I joined out at Fox Den in February, and I think I’ve played 36 holes since February. I just have not had time. Your free time suffers when you run your own business. There’ll always be time to play golf. I do love to play. I wish I could be there right now.

Jared Jordan

With whom, living or dead, would you most like to have a long lunch? Arnold Palmer

Jared Jordan became a master of mixology almost by accident. Before buying Campbell Station Wine & Spirits, he had a career path that included bartending as well as agricultural-chemical formulation. “You give it to me, I can certainly mix it up and sell it,” says Jordan. “That’s kind of my claim to fame, I guess. It’s all sales and marketing. It doesn’t matter what the product is. As long as you can sell it with a smile on your face, that’s a good thing.” Jordan grew up in Georgia until his father moved the family to the Memphis suburb of Collierville in 1986. In 1997, Jordan moved to Knoxville and spent four and a half years in the area. He moved back to Collierville in 2002, but last year he and wife Jennifer decided they wanted a more family-friendly environment for their two daughters, who are 8 and 6. Jordan heard Campbell Wine & Spirits was for sale, so he bought it and moved to Farragut last fall. During his first stint in East Tennessee, Jordan worked as the bar manager/night manager at Rookies in the Cedar Bluff area. He says West Knox County has changed a lot since he last lived here. “When I lived here before, I’d never heard the term Turkey Creek,” he says. “Lovell Road was a nightmare where Peters Road dead-ended. Things have certainly changed.” Jordan says changes have come in his life as well. “Back then, I was in my mid-20s and young and could stay up all night and have fun with the best of them.” He’s happy he had those experiences. “Being in the restaurant business and bar business for so long, it teaches you something,” says Jordan. “I think everybody should do it at least once. It teaches you how to interact with people. It teaches you how to deal with people in all different forms, all different facets and all different temperaments, especially when you add alcohol to the mix. There are some valuable life lessons to be learned standing behind three feet of mahogany.” Since taking over the store, he has learned a lot about different types of liquor. “As you get older, your tastes change,” he says. “I was strictly a beer guy. Now, I like a little bit of everything.” He is becoming more knowledgeable thanks to his reps and the “phenomenal” staff he inherited. Jordan says he’s been able to learn to appreciate almost every type of alcohol.

Other than your parents, who has had the biggest influence on your life and why? My wife, Jennifer. She seems to be able to reel me in and keep me focused when I go off on one of my many tangents.

I still can’t quite get the hang of … Some of the new wireless technologies. Things change so fast that when I get one figured out it’s obsolete.

What is the best present you ever received in a box? Great bourbon, a new set of irons, case of wine … It’s too hard to narrow down to one.

What is the best advice your mother ever gave you?

“I still can’t drink gin,” he says. “I can’t get over the whole pine-tree effect.” Sit back and have a Coffee Break as you get to know Jared Jordan.

What is the worst job you have ever had?

What is your favorite quote from TV or a movie?

I pushed a fertilizer spreader for four years in high school during the oppressive Memphis summer heat.

“Do. Or do not. There is no try.” Yoda, “Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back”

What are you guilty of?

Treat people as you would want to be treated.

What was your favorite Saturday morning cartoon and why? I remember being a big fan of “G.I. Joe” as a kid. I think it was the awesome military gear.

I can be a little impulsive at times.

What irritates you?
