Fifty years ago, Fred Wickert of San Paulo, Brazil, had a hard time finding Farragut on the map. On Aug. 1, Wickert danced around Rothchild Catering and Convention Center wearing a Farragut High School seniors T-shirt and visiting with the members of the FHS Class of 1965 like family. Because they are. Wickert is a member of the Class of ’65, coming to the school that year as Knox County Schools’ first exchange student. His home was 5,026 miles away. Coming back for the 50-year class reunion was very special for him and his classmates. When Wickert signed up to be a U.S. foreign exchange student, he had no idea where he would be placed, so he filled out all the paperwork and waited. Finally he got the word: He would be living in Concord, Tenn. He and his parents couldn’t find it on a map, but his father found an encyclopedia and located the town “near the Smoky Mountains.” “I thought I would go to the U.S. with the big cities, the big cars and the big lights, like you see in the movies,” Wickert said. “The will to come over here was very big.” He had a 30-hour flight with six or seven layovers before he landed in Miami. After a night in an airport hotel, he got on a bus to go up the coast of Florida and into Knoxville.

“Four people were waiting at the bus stop for me,” he said. “Mac and Frances Abel and their two high school-aged children, Bob and Carol.” On his first day, the Abels, who

were his host family, took him to their cabin on the lake. Wickert couldn’t water ski, but a week later, he was up on the skis. On his second day, he toured the high school with principal K. R. Sargent.

Wickert said he never forgot his teachers and the courses he took. “American history with Coach Clabo; American literature with To page A-3

Long detour discourages Everett Road residents By Wendy Smith Oakley Downs residents will ultimately benefit from the town’s $3.9 million Everett Road improvement project. But until the one-mile construction zone is reopened, they’re worried about whether they’ll have adequate emergency services, and how often they’ll have to refill their gas tanks. Mark Delph lives in Oakley Downs, which is north of the construction zone. His neighbors, along with other Everett Road residents north of the project, have to drive north on Everett, then south on Watt Road, to get to Kingston Pike. It’s a detour of several miles, and the closure is expected to last

for another 15 months. And the Delphs learned just last week that Knox County Schools has consolidated its bus route to one trip, which would require their middle school son to get on his bus two hours before school begins. “My youngest child will board the bus 10 minutes earlier, however, my middle school child is expected to board the bus along with him, an hour earlier than his prior bus schedule, for this new detour route, said Deborah Delph. “This is extremely upsetting as he is boarding the bus at 6:30 a.m. and his school starts at 8:30 a.m. He can’t even enter his school, Farragut Middle, until 7:30 a.m.”

She said KCS has been unresponsive to her request for a “short bus” to pick up middle school kids in Oakley Downs. But safety is Mark Delph’s biggest concern. Increased traffic on the north end of Everett, which is steep and curvy, is bound to cause accidents, and the risk will be greater during winter months. The detour will automatically create delays for emergency vehicles, and any problem on Everett Road could make service impossible, he says. Two tractor trailer trucks have jack-knifed on Everett after ignoring detour signs, and his family couldn’t get home for two hours after a tree fell across the road.

He’d like for one lane of Everett to remain open to give those who live north of the closure direct access to Kingston Pike. “There are homes inside the construction zone that will need access, so there will obviously be some access available.” The construction project is Farragut’s largest ever capital improvement project. The improved road will be wider, with curbs, gutters, sidewalks and a walking trail. Improvements were necessitated by new development along the road. While he hates for anyone to be inconvenienced by the projTo page A-3

Knox County expands parks, greenways By Sandra Clark West Knox is getting a pocket park on land the county bought for flood control. Dunn Park on Ebenezer Road near West Valley Middle School will be a very small park, compatible with its residential neighborhood, according to Doug Bataille, senior director of Parks and Recreation for Knox County. He spoke Aug. 4 to the Council of West Knox County Homeowners. “We acquired this property several years ago, and we will propose development in the next year or two.” Another small park will be built at the corner of Hardwick and Bridgewater. “We want to meet with the neighbors” before plans are finalized, he said. Some have requested parking for the First Creek greenway, but Bataille thinks a bet-

The land was acquired three years ago on a trade. “We sold five acres with frontage on Ball Camp Pike and got 33 acres of rolling farm land, perfect for a passive park,” said Bataille. He sees a possible 10-acre dog park at Plumb Creek, saying Randy Boyd’s company, PetSafe, has committed future funding over five years to build dog parks in Knox County. The dog park at Concord Park has over 30,000 visits a year. “People ask why we build parks for dogs, but those parks are for people who have dogs,” he said. “Dog parks are a great place to meet your neighbors; they’re great To page A-3

Homer B. Clonts was born on Feb. 18, 1924, in Bluffton, Ala., the son of Presley R. (1884-1952) and Martha Donaldson Clonts (1888-1966). The family moved to Menlo, Ga., where Homer graduated from the local high school in 1941 as valedictorian of his class. After working for Combustion Engineering Co. in Chattanooga for a time, he joined the Navy where he served from 1943 to 1945. He was on three ships as a Navy signalman, serving longest on the staff of Adm. Richmond K. Turner, who was then commander of the Amphibious Forces of the Pacific. He participated in the invasions of the Marshall Islands, Guam, Iwo Jima and Okinawa, and, finally, in the liberation of the Philippines. His aptitude for writing a vivid description of an event is reflected in a large volume of stories he wrote during his Navy career, many in graphic detail, especially those about Kamikaze attacks. Some were written on the back of a large map and would be published much later, in April 1985, in a story he wrote for the 40th anniversary of the invasion of Okinawa. Upon his discharge at the end of World War II in 1946, he entered the University of Tennessee intending first to become an engineer. He soon found that physics and calculus were not to his liking and entered the school of journalism. He wrote for the Orange and White, the student newspaper, and also worked for the UT public relations office. Before his graduation, he took a job as editor of the Carthage (Tenn.) Courier, a small paper where he received valuable experience reporting, editing and photography. On Feb. 7, 1948, Homer Clonts and Ada Bowers (1922-2013) were married. Theirs was a close partner-

ship. Early in their marriage, when a local traintruck collision killed 10 people, he pressed his new wife into action as the photographer while he gathered the facts and wrote the story. In 1949 Homer Clonts joined the staff of the Knoxville News Sentinel as a reporter. His story of the segregation crisis in Clinton in 1956 represents some of his best reporting. When John Kasper incited a mob, there were several reporters shoved around and more than once their lives were threatened. Clonts started his story with these words: CLINTON – A mob of about 1,500 persons, whipped white-hot by a fiery segregationist imported from Alabama (originally from Greenwich Village and Washington, D.C.), made law and order a mockery in East Tennessee last night. When they started to ease off, a mob of teenagers fresh from a victorious football game came in, revitalized the riot and kept it going until early morning. Police, deputies and highway patrol officers just let it happen. Passively. Except once, when the mob turned toward the home of Mayor W.E. Lewallen, and the officers turned the mob back. … Many will remember him for the column he wrote each Sunday. His boss, city editor Joe Levitt, had a very direct style and, as Clonts remembered the conversation, it started (and ended) something like this, “You start writing the garden column next week.” So began a 25-year series of articles. He didn’t consider him-

self much of a gardener in 1957 at first but he came up with a story every week even through the winter months when it was not easy to find something to write about. While he was on the education beat in 1959, Clonts wrote an innovative series of articles describing his “enrolling” and attending class in successive levels of grade school beginning with first grade. He became assistant city editor in 1964 and then city editor in 1970, succeeding today’s Grammar Gremlin writer, Don Ferguson, who became chief clerk for the U.S. District Court. In 1977 he became the editorial page editor. Even after the promotions he continued to write the garden column, eventually accumulating 25 years at the task. Upon his retirement in 1989, he continued to write a column for the paper. A faithful member of Central Baptist Church, Mr. Clonts died on Oct. 13, 1999, at age 75, survived by his wife and daughters Janice Farrington and Elaine Russell. Mrs. Clonts died 14 years later. Both are buried in Lynnhurst Cemetery.

Class of ’65 relives the good times By Carolyn Evans When the D.J. played one special song for the Farragut High School Class of 1965 reunion crowd, a hush fell over the room. The group had laughed and talked through the sounds of the Beatles and Elvis, but “Smoke Gets in Your Eyes” brought the chatter to a standstill. “Everybody stopped talking when it came on,” said Mary Smith Henry, organizer of the 50th FHS reunion held Aug. 1 at Rothchild Catering and Conference Center. “It was our prom song.” Henry, a class member, former cheerleader, life- Ralph and Mary Smith Henry share a hug to celebrate a suclong Farragut resident and cessful reunion party for the Farragut High School Class of owner of the Apple Cake 1965.

With Concord being the small community that it was, we mainly did church things or went to the movies in Bearden in the Homberg area. The closest ice cream shop was on Bearden Hill.” Fred Wickert, the firstever exchange student in Knox County Schools, came 5,026 miles from his home in San Paulo (See page A1). He, along with Jeannie Couble Shufelt of California, got Farragut T-shirts for coming the longest distance. The shirts were emblazoned with the word “Seniors” on Donald Solomon and Jim Stelljes at the reunion the back. “Seniors has a double comments were made about ers were sad that the family meaning now that we’re sehow much our community farms were gone!” nior citizens,” Henry said, has changed since high “When we were seniors with a laugh. “They pranced school.

Everett Road ect, Town Administrator David Smoak says it just isn’t possible to keep a lane open. Because the grade of the road is changing, sometimes by three or four feet, the road will be completely ripped out in some places. The replacement of three culverts is another issue. “If we can open it sooner, we certainly will. But it’s not going to be anytime soon. We’re working as hard and as fast as we can.” Other neighbors have joined the Delphs in voicing concerns to the Farragut Board of Mayor and Aldermen, the town engineering department and Knox County Commission via email.

While avoiding timelines, Bataille supposed construction could start by year’s end and be finished in two years. Access is off Hickey Road. Concord Park is the county’s crown jewel. A series of adjacent parks, Concord lies on both sides of Northshore Drive and is surrounded by Fort Loudoun Lake. “We just built a mile and a half of mountain bike trails this past year,” said Bataille. The trail winds through former farmland and old marble quarries. Another trail is “half

Kim Badeaux said her garbage sat in front of her house for two weeks because her garbage truck driver refused to make the six-mile detour. She suggested that the construction barricade be moved 1,500 feet south so local traffic could access Smith Road.

Bataille said the county owns a 50-foot strip along the shore behind the subdivision built on the site of the monument marking the birthplace of Admiral David Farragut, but access is restricted because it is land-locked.

There was one thing she did – go to the post office to get the mail

and see if I had mail from home. We would stop at the Benson store to get bubblegum or whatever.” Over the years he kept up with the Abels, and they kept him up on the news from Concord. Bob became a Presbyterian minister and moved to Oklahoma, Florida and North Carolina. “Letters came from Mom and Carol,” he said. “After that, starting with the In-

ternet, I was able to find classmates. Then, with the advent of Facebook, I was able to connect with lots of former classmates.” At the reunion, organizer Mary Henry told Wickert how happy the class was that he came for party. “The most extraordinary thing to me is the relationship you have kept with your parents here,” Henry said. “Mr. Abel is 93 now. That family looks

at you like you were a son.” Wickert came back five years ago on Thanksgiving weekend. “We had Thanksgiving with the whole Abel family,” he said. “I took a walk through historic Concord one afternoon with my camera. “I had this huge opportunity to be here for a year,” he said, “a window into my classmates’ lives.”

Who was the first to break your heart? As with the seasons of the year, there are four distinct levels of Tennessee football fans: 1. Aware. 2. Interested. 3. Enthusiastic. 4. Passionate. We’ll leave three groups to their wider screens and higher def and address the fourth, especially those who turn cartwheels and backflips about the Volunteers. You know who you are. Your neighbors know, too. You wear orange to mow the lawn (new Nikes, not outdated adidas). There is a power T on the back of your Toyota. Your mailbox is orange. Your cell phone acknowledges calls with a few bars of Rocky Top. At the stadium, you refuse to sit down – even during timeouts. You’d skip weddings and funerals before you’d miss a big game.

Marvin West

I’ve heard you when you didn’t know I was listening: “Without UT football, my life is a shallow pit of nothingness.” “My life is orange and white – and I am not going gray.” “I love Tennessee football and live and die with wins and losses. I know I shouldn’t be that way but I just can’t help it.” There was a time when setbacks destroyed Sundays and left you miserable all week. Not so much anymore. The Vols have lost so

many, even passionate fans have learned to handle it. Many still care deeply. Just the other day, I walked into a conversation about heartbreak, a continuation of a forum discussion about which Vols and foes were first to break your big orange hearts. Think about that. I’ve missed stories that really hurt but never endured sports heartbreak. I did think of what Hank Lauricella did to thousands in the 1952 Sugar Bowl. Tennessee had a great team and New Orleans was the hometown of the all-American tailback. The stage was set for coronation of the king. Hank threw three interceptions and fumbled a kickoff return and Maryland won by more than the 28-13 score. Ouch.

Old friend Karl Kremser inflicted pain and suffering when he missed a field goal in the closing moments of the 1968 Orange Bowl. That 26-24 loss to Oklahoma wasn’t really his fault. The Sooners built a three-touchdown lead because the Tennessee defense didn’t show up until the second half. A furious comeback provided the last-minute chance to win. Heartbreak conversation included injuries, poor decisions, talent wasted and other misfortunes. Former Vols who erred, drunken drivers who killed people, hurt and embarrassed many others. Tony Robinson’s untimely knee injury and drug conviction may never go away. Some bled when Heath Shuler didn’t stay for his se-

nior season. Jerry Colquitt waiting his turn to play quarterback and going down in the first series of his first game was a heartbreaker. Chuck Webb hobbling off ShieldsWatkins Field remains a sad image. What happened to Inky Johnson would be a devastating memory if not for what he has done on the rebound. It does appear God had a hand on that bad shoulder. The small cluster of fans talked about more trivial heartbreaks – the convoluted loss to Memphis State, an Arian Foster fumble, Mike Hamilton hiring Lane Kiffin and Derek Dooley. Oh my. I thought of the tragic wreck that snuffed out three Tennessee coaches. There are other things I

didn’t and don’t like – disregard for tradition, moving the third Saturday of October, playing Vanderbilt any time except the final Saturday, alternate uniforms and nobody from Tennessee being in charge of anything. Irritating – but not exactly heartbreakers. There is so much good, so much excitement, so much color and pageantry in the Tennessee scene, it is hard to maintain a consistent frown. This doesn’t greatly impact levels 1 and 2 fans. Level 3 enthusiasts are encouraged. The passionate, naturally optimistic, believe really good times are just around the corner. Wouldn’t it be something if the Volunteers win 10! That would cure a lot of ills. Marvin West invites reader reaction. His address is westwest6@netzero.com

Foundation helps those in need A new foundation inspired by a Knoxville oncologist made its first major gifts last week in connection with a charity of one of the community’s iconic sports figures.

Bill Dockery

The L5 Foundation handed out $20,000 to five area organizations that support people with disabilities or people who have cancer, all done in cooperation with the Bruce Pearl Family

Foundation. Pearl, the former basketball head coach at the University of Tennessee, is widely known for his charitable works. The L5 Foundation made its largest contribution – $10,000 – to Camp Koinonia Foundation for a scholarship honoring Pearl. Camp Koinonia is a weeklong camp put on by UT’s therapeutic recreation program for children and youth with multiple disabilities. The camp is also a major training experience for hundreds of UT students who will work with people with disabilities. The camp was the major charity that Pearl got involved with when he came

The L5 Foundation awarded a $10,000 scholarship to Camp Koinonia in cooperation with the Bruce Pearl Family Foundation. Participating in the donation ceremonies were Brandy and Bruce Pearl; Susan Newman, UT Medical Center oncologist and secretary/treasurer of the L5 Foundation; Joseph Ortiz, president of the Camp Koinonia Foundation; Angela Wozencroft, secretary of the Camp Koinonia board and assistant professor of therapeutic recreation; and Ruth Patrick, executive director of the Camp Koinonia Foundation. Photo by Bill Dockery to Tennessee and Newman praised him for not forgetting about the camp’s needs, even after he left the Knoxville area. “All the things we did at Tennessee we did together,” Pearl said. In addition to the camp, the L5 Foundation gave $2,500 donations to the Cancer Institute at the University of Tennessee, East Tennessee Children’s Hospital, the Thompson Cancer

Survival Center Foundation and Niswonger Children’s Hospital in Johnson City. “I’ve been a medical oncologist for 12 years,” Newman said. “Based on my experiences with my patients, I see five elements that help cancer survivors survive: the faith to believe, the hope to endure, the determination to overcome, the strength to survive, and the passion to win.” Those characteristics are

the source of her foundation’s name. Newman said she was accustomed to the costs of the medical fight against breast, colon, and other serious cancers, but she noted that behind those huge financial costs are families that have simple needs for food, transportation and other daily issues – “keeping the house clean, finding a babysitter when someone has to go for chemotherapy.”

“A patient shouldn’t have to choose between getting treatment and taking care of the everyday needs of self and family,” Pearl said in thanking Newman for the gifts. “They have to know that there are strangers who care about what they are going through.” Pearl had to break off his remarks for a moment as his emotions briefly overcame him. “The need doesn’t just go away,” he said.

Why is everybody picking on Finbarr? Just before he walked into the Oakwood Lincoln Park Neighborhood Association meeting last Monday, people were wondering aloud why city council member Finbarr Saunders has drawn opposition while his at-large colleagues are running unopposed. When Saunders took a seat, someone asked him that question.

Betty Bean “I don’t know,” Saunders said. “Marshall Stair and George Wallace are unopposed, and I’ve got three!” So why has Finbarr Saunders, who occupies Seat C, emerged as the Charlie Brown of the 2015 city council races? Pond Gap community leader David Williams, a math tutor by profession, has a list of Saunders’ shortcomings, beginning with the demolition of the Forest Heights bridge over the interstate15 years ago, which rerouted north-bound traffic through Williams’ neighborhood. Williams has other issues, but the blown-up bridge is No. 1. “Taking that bridge down put 3,000 extra cars on Hollywood Drive,” said Williams. Saunders, as presi-

dent of the We s t w o o d neighborhood group, suppor ted the bridge closing. Williams, who calls himself “an Absher average Joe,” is campaigning doorto-door and is also aggravated by a number of other issues, like homelessness and the new sidewalks on Sutherland Avenue, which already had sidewalks, unlike other neighborhoods that have asked for them, to no avail. “We didn’t want them or ask for them and the construction has cost our local businesses a lot of money,” Williams said. Paul Bonovich, president of Inventory Supply in Alcoa, said he’s running against Saunders because he doesn’t think term limits should equal eight years in office. “The issue for me is not beating Finbarr – the thing I don’t see too much happening is we’re not having enough public discussion. That’s what the process should be about,” said Bonovich. He said Saunders “took a pass” on tackling the city’s pension issues by accepting a “quick fi x” recommendation, voted to override part

munity and culture.” Saunders said closing the Forest Heights Bridge was some t h i ng he and Williams will Williams have to agree to disagree about, and that signage and pension problems will need ongoing attention. “The sky won’t fall and the signage height regulations aren’t going to hurt business. As we noted the night we voted, there’s work to be done… We’re funding our pensions as our actuary tells us we must, but we have an approximate $180 million unfunded liability that we’re working down.” He said vote on the Christenberry property was aimed at saving the house, and the developer’s plan was in sync with the rest of the neighborhood. “That stretch of Kingston Pike in question has changed dramatically. When I was growing up, there was not one church. Now there are 11, plus two schools, and a bunch of condominiums. I made that vote in good faith to save the house and I think I have provided thoughtful and balanced service and have been involved in meetings all over the city.”

Tennessee Mustang car show is ‘must see’ This Saturday, Aug. 15, from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. the first annual Travis Wegener memorial car show will be held at the Food City, 7350 Clinton Highway. Admission for spectators is free and the entry fee for cars is $20. Expect a big crowd. Travis Wegener was a member of the Tennessee Valley Mustang Club – a group with a history of helping char itable T. Wegener organizations. He was shot while visiting friends in Inskip on Aug. 15, 2014, and died on the scene at age 28. Travis owned a landscaping company. After his death, the Powell Business and Professional Association named him Powell’s Man of the Year for 2014. A memorial fund was established to support the PBPA’s Enhance Powell committee, which is working to build out Powell Station Park and coordinate other beautification projects. We hope to make the car

show an annual tribute to Travis, so a good turnout on Saturday would help folks feel welcomed. Dr. Donald Wegener, Travis’ dad, said a muscle car group has joined in this year and prizes will be given for the top 25 cars. Business sponsors are Sage Kohler at State Farm, PBPA, Randall Anderson of Anderson Insurance Agency and, of course, Food City. Lunch will be available, as will several vendors. Doug and Donna Loveday are car show organizers. Doug is president of the Tennessee Valley Mustang Club.

Stay ‘Sharp as a Tack’ with program from Y For anyone who has been recently diagnosed with Alzheimer’s or dementia, the YMCA is offering the pilot program “Stay Sharp as a Tack,” hosted by the Davis Family YMCA, 12133 South Northshore Drive.

Friends aplenty By Sara Barrett A typical week at Parkview Independent Living in Farragut is similar to a week on a cruise ship according to residents and friends Barbara Henry, Clova Caldwell, George Tennant and Herb Wittke. Movies are shown theater-style three times a week. Outings include Mighty Musical Monday at the Tennessee Theatre, regular shopping trips and a gamut of restaurant options. There are exercise classes but also an “indoor greenway” as Tennant calls it. The upstairs is big and open so residents can walk laps in the air conditioning. And don’t even get them

at Parkview started on the chocolate cake. The key word that gets all four friends talking, though, is cards. “We play everything,” said Tennant. “Bridge, Spades, Kings in the Corner …” Henry says Tennant is the card shark of the group. “They accuse me of that, but I just get the good cards,” Tennant says with a grin. He learned how to play Bridge from a fellow resident. The group talks about their hobbies, and “witty” Wittke delivers one of his famous zingers. “I’m an artist, but only in the summer,” said Wittke. “I draw flies.”

When they’re not involved in activities or making each other laugh, Tennant and Henry both keep up with their grandkids on Facebook. Henry says times have really changed from when she was a kid, largely because of technology. “We didn’t have electricity until I was 5 years old,” she said. “Now, I have to keep up with technology just to see what my family is doing.” The topic of texting causes a serious tone to envelop the conversation. All four friends are concerned that today’s technology will be society’s downfall. “I am really surprised at what people reveal on Facebook,” said Tennant.

Caldwell says she’s noticed big changes in the Knoxville area after moving to Tullahoma from Alcoa years ago, then back to Knoxville recently. “Outside of Kingston Pike, I don’t know where I’m at,” she said. Words of wisdom from people who have been there and done that: Tennant suggests getting a good education. Henry says to save more money than you think you should. Caldwell suggests people have real conversations instead of text messaging. Wittke said young people should “become active and remain active,” as he headed to exercise class.

So Long Summer celebration is hot time By Sherri Gardner Howell

The middle and high school students at Concord United Methodist Church and surrounding community gathered on Aug. 7 for a huge end-of-summer event. Held at the church at 11020 Roane Drive, So Long Summer was a time to celebrate the last nights before home-

work, sports, clubs and getting to bed earlier became the norm again, said church organizers. More than 200 young people came out to do just that. Activities were teendesigned: Ga-ga Ball, human hamster balls, archery tag, a climbing wall, inflatables, food trucks, King of the Hill jousting and corn hole.

Summer, however, didn’t go willingly. The most popular food truck was Kona Ice as the kids and chaperones braved the heat and humidity, even as the sun went down. A chance to cool off came at 9 p.m. when the teens were invited inside for a concert featuring Loyals and Hearts Like Lions.

What became of the lions’ den, the cave of the young lions, where the lion goes, and the lion’s cubs, with no one to disturb them? (Nahum 2: 11 NRSV) I can understand hunting a wild animal if one is hungry and needs to provide food for one’s self and one’s family. I understand that some wild animals become dangerous rogues – dangerous to the inhabitants of the area – and must be eliminated for the safety of many. What I can’t understand is killing the king of the jungle for sport. What right does a human have to kill a magnificent animal so he can mount the head of the beast on the wall of his den? If one is going to hunt lions in Africa, shouldn’t one carefully investigate the rules and laws involved, ascertain that his guide is knowledgeable, and that the lion he has in his crosshairs is not legally protected? I mourn for Cecil, the lion. I mourn for all the great cats, who are just trying to earn a living, as well as the dogs and kitty-cats and bunnies

and groundhogs who get slaughtered on the roads. I can even find it in my heart to grieve for the coyotes and the snakes, who find their habitats shrinking every day, as fields and forests fall prey to subdivisions. Even with my bird phobia (and before you wonder, let me assure you, I have never seen the movie!) I love to hear their songs and watch them as they carefully, patiently build their nests. (Needless to say, I watch through a window!) The words of the old song come to mind: “Bless the beasts and the children, for in this world they have no voice, They have no choice.” (by DeVorzon and Botkin)

Christy Kampf: Finding freedom in Christ By Nancy Anderson “Every single one of us is broken to some degree, said Christy Kampf, discipleship associate at Grace Baptist Church. “We all carry pain, self-limiting beliefs and maybe even crushing emotional Kampf pain. You’d be surprised how many people label themselves as worthless or flawed and that manifests in all areas of life from finances to broken relationships.” Under the direction of pastor Todd Stewart, Kampf launched a new discipleship ministry for the church last December geared toward emotional and spiritual healing by offering classes from parenting to dealing with anxiety. The cornerstone is the Freedom in Christ program designed to heal deep-seated emotional and

spiritual wounds through a guided seven-step journey to self-discovery. It is sponsored by Freedom in Christ Ministries International and was developed by seminary professor Neil T. Anderson. Kampf seems uniquely qualified to lead the growing discipleship ministry. She studied business at Penn State University, worked a number of years in corporate leadership, and has overcome her own challenges caused by a chaotic childhood. “I wore those labels ‘worthless,’ ‘insignificant,’

‘invisible’ for a very long time. I behaved out of those beliefs. There are a lot of people out there who know what this is like and how damaging to your life it can be. “The Freedom program is meant to help you face your deepest pain and free you from the bondage of self-limiting beliefs. “It’s an intense program, and it’s not that easy; but many people who have gone through it faced their deepest pain and have come full circle to a place where they want to become mentors to pay it forward.

“It’s really about connecting. Connecting with God. Connecting with yourself. Connecting with each other. We want to be more than just the place you visit every Sunday morning. We want to be the place where you come to heal, to learn, to grow, and to build a supportive network. “Once you let go of your pain and know who you are in Christ, then turn around and help someone else so they can grow in Christ as well. Continually growing and learning and mentoring, that’s what it means to be a disciple.”

The new face at Northshore Elementary

For Brandon Pratt, switching roles from principal of Ball Camp Elementary School to principal of Northshore Elementary School “was like coming home.” “I already knew a large portion of the staff at Northshore because when the school was built, teachers transferred from Cedar Bluff Elementary and A.L. Lotts,” said Pratt. He taught at Cedar Bluff and was assistant principal at Lotts, so he saw a lot of familiar faces upon moving to Northshore. He also worked with his predecessor, former NES principal and recent retiree Susan Davis, when she was principal at CBES and he was teaching. Pratt feels the advantage of knowing the staff will help with any changes made this coming year. “When you build trust in a faculty, it is

easier to implement tougher transitions,” he said. “And when I watch a teacher in a classroom, I learn how to be a better teacher myself.” Pratt says what he misses most about teaching are the relationships he makes with the students in the classroom. His desk and bookshelf hold photo albums and picture frames full of previous students. Now, though, he says he looks forward to building relationships on a larger scale with a larger group of students. Pratt’s goals for this school year include building a community around the school and strengthening relationships with its business partners. When he’s not at school, Pratt enjoys running 6-7 miles a day or kicking back with a Disney movie. Aladdin is his all-time favorite.

House Mountain Hoedown By Carol Shane Fans of local music will be in luck this weekend when a lively festival celebrates its second year. Held in the shadow of House Mountain just eight miles northeast of Knoxville, the 2nd annual House Mountain Hoedown will feature six well-known area performers and bands. On the docket are the funloving and eclectic Y’uns Jug Band; Kukuly and the Gypsy Fuego, “hot jazz” artists who are influenced by Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli; multiaward-winning dulcimer/ progressive folk artist Sarah Morgan; acoustic folk duo Jubal; blues/rock band Slow Blind Hill Jr.; and versatile jazz artist Kelle Jolly. “That festival has great

musical diversity, good country food, and a great overall atmosphere. I look forward to reconnecting with a lot of old – and young – friends,” says Danny Gammon, who sings and plays multiple instruments including fiddle, mandolin and kazoo with Y’uns Jug Band. Steve Horton, his partner in tunes and tomfoolery, agrees. “House Mountain is Knox County’s best mountain. It is the highest point in Knox County, and every time I stand on the top of House Mountain, I am the highest man in Knox County. And it’s shaped like a house. And having a hoedown in the shadow of House Mountain is obviously the best place in Knox County to have a hoedown.”

weekender Part of a 500-acre natural area, House Mountain is indeed notable for having the highest elevation in Knox County at over 2,000 feet. Popular with birders as well as hikers, the area is temporary home to migrating flocks of hawks and warblers. According to the Knox County Department of Parks and Recreation, over 100 species of birds have been observed there. It’s an idyllic spot for a music festival. There’ll be a jam circle, so if you play an instrument, bring it along. And a square dance in the Washington Presbyterian Church pavilion will round out the evening. Proceeds from the event go to help preserve and improve the pavilion and park grounds, open year-round

to the community, at Washington Presbyterian Church in Corryton. “Last year was well attended,” says Horton, “and everyone seemed to have a good time. Everyone should come!” Gammon agrees. “Hope to see you there!” The 2nd annual 2015 House Mountain Hoedown will be held 1-9 p.m. this Saturday, Aug. 15, at the Washington Presbyterian pavilion and park, located at the corner of Shipe Road and Washington Pike in Corryton.

But it was in Knoxville, not in Hollywood, and Mundy blew off the film industry after one movie. That was “Stark Love,” a 1927 silent that will be the culmination of “Southern Exposure: The Great Smoky Mountain Film Festival” at 7 p.m. Saturday at the Tennessee Theatre. Paramount wanted amateurs to portray the Appalachian characters in “Stark Love,” which was shot on the North Carolina side of the Smokies, in the Robbinsville area. “They wanted to find authentic hillbillies,” says Bradley Reeves, director of TAMIS, the Tennessee Archive of Moving Image and Sound. “Where are you going to find those? Knoxville, of course. “So they passed through here, and they found Helen Mundy. She was a saucy teenager. She didn’t care about anybody or anything; she was just a wild girl by all accounts, and it really comes through in her performance, which is absolutely first rate for a firsttimer.” “Stark Love” earned great reviews but did not perform well at the box office. Prints of it – along with hundreds of other silent films – were later burned by the studio for their silver. British film historian Kevin Brownlow discovered a copy while filming in Prague in the late 1960s. The film is now on the National Film Registry of the Library of Congress, which has a copy. The Museum of Modern Art loaned the print that will be screening Saturday. TAMIS showed a “rough” 16mm print in

2007. “This is the brand-new restored print with the right inter-titles, the right lineup of clips from the best possible surviving materials,” says Reeves. “I’m proud it’s going to be on film because that’s something I love. It’s getting rarer and rarer to see that on a big screen.” “Southern Exposure” is part of the East Tennessee History Fair, which takes place throughout downtown Saturday. The film festival begins at noon with Dr. Bill Snyder playing favorites on the Mighty Wurlitzer. The free afternoon program runs till 5 p.m. and includes films made by commercial photographer Jim Thompson between 1915 and 1950. “It’s some of the most amazing footage that I’ve ever seen in my life,” says Reeves. “Jim Thompson is so important in the development of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. He was there at the beginning, … and he doesn’t get the credit that he deserves.” The afternoon includes a lot of footage of the Smokies plus films shot around downtown Knoxville. Reeves recruited local musicians to put music to the silents: Todd Steed for the

compilation “Silent Town,” Dave Ball for the newsreel segment “Our Southern Mountaineers”/“In the Moonshine Country” and the Swill Sippers for “A Forgotten Smokey Mountain Road Trip.” Bill Landry will introduce amateur movies shot in the Smokies and will be on the screen in a 1989 episode of “The Heartland Series” called “The Rolling Store,” complete with outtakes. After a break, the evening program ($9 adults, $7 seniors and children) will begin at 7 p.m. with the documentary “Lost Masterpiece: Karl Brown’s Stark Love” by

Short films in “Southern Exposure” will include serious and campy footage shot in the Smokies. Dr. John White, followed by “Stark Love,” with an introduction by Jack Neely. Reeves says Mundy was being groomed for stardom but never made another movie. “She didn’t play the game. She didn’t care.” Like Lana Turner,

whose first marriage was to Artie Shaw, she married a bandleader, Donald Berringer. Unlike Turner, she

stayed married, and raised a family of in Kalamazoo, Mich., where she lived till the end of her life.

Knox County seniors in need of nutritious meals and guardian angels all rolled into one are fortunate to have the services of the Mobile Meals program Judith Pelot and its volunteers who travel across the county delivering food, companionship and even welfare checks when necessary. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The meals are important, but those daily checks are also important,â&#x20AC;? the programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s manager, Judith Pelot, told members of the Rotary Club of Bearden. Pelot thanked club members who volunteer for the program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do it without you. Our seniors are served well in this

community because of you.â&#x20AC;? A graduate of Farragut High School with a bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree in nutrition from the University of Tennessee, Pelot joined Mobile Meals a year ago and says her first effort â&#x20AC;&#x153;was to assess needs. We wanted to take the social, nutrition and health needs of all of our neighbors into the assessment.â&#x20AC;? Pelot said she traveled â&#x20AC;&#x153;the far reaches of the county to determine if needs were being met everywhere.â&#x20AC;? As a result, more than 800 seniors are receiving Mobile Meals today, served by more than 75 volunteers who travel 60 different routes daily. Paid staff members are delivering two routes, so more volunteers are needed. Pelot said that need is always the primary factor in determining who receives the meals. Sixty percent of

recipients are over age 75 and 69 percent are women. Federal and state governments provide a little more than 56 percent of the funding for Mobile Meals, with Knoxville and Knox County governments providing more than 11 percent and contributions from the community providing more than 32 percent. There will be a fundraiser and silent auction for Mobile Meals at 11 a.m. Thursday, Sept. 17, at Rothchild Conference Center. The event is entitled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Power of the Purse,â&#x20AC;? and coordinators invite area women to lunch and browse an array of purses ranging from the hottest pocketbooks, designer purses and evening bags all in one location.

Wilhoit takes job seriously, self not so By Bonny C. Millard WBIR news anchor Robin Wilhoit’s 25-year career in the news business has allowed her to step into the lives of many Robin Wilhoit people, and she said the experiences have touched her. Wilhoit spoke to the Rotary Club of Knoxville, where she was introduced by president-elect Allen

Pannell Jr. Wilhoit did a story in May on Pannell and his wife, Amy, who died of breast cancer in 2014. “The stories that have had the greatest impact on me are the personal stories. They’re not the stories that necessarily I’m going to be leading right at six o’clock. They will be a little further down in the newscast, but they are just as powerful. One particular is one I did earlier this year on Allen’s wife. Talk about a beautiful love story. Theirs went fast. Un-

fortunately, breast cancer got in the way.” Wilhoit started WBIR’s Buddy Check 10 program years ago to remind women to do monthly breast selfexams as well as promote awareness of breast cancer. Wilhoit started her journalism career with WJHL in Johnson City right after college. In 1990 during the Gulf War, she was sent to the airport to cover the arrival home of a young U.S. Marine captain. After the story aired, he asked her

out, and they were married three years later. “So I have to say it’s the best story I’ve ever done because I got a great husband and two wonderful kids out of it.” Wilhoit, co-chair of this year’s United Way campaign, said she’s had her share of embarrassing moments on air, and one taught her an important lesson. “I learned at that moment in time ‘Do not take yourself too seriously,’ and I don’t,” she said. “But ‘Do take your job and your passion seriously,’ and that I do.”

Purdy, formerly of Daymon Worldwide, brings more than 35 years of industry experience to the Food City team. “Ross has worked in grocery retail, consumer package goods and private brands with a number of leading retailers domestically and internationally”, says Steven C. Smith, Food City president and CEO. Ross Purdy Purdy’s responsibilities will include the oversight of all center store operations, supervision of the category management staff, space management team, grocery supervisors and coordination of the consumer product goods partners. Purdy holds a bachelor’s degree in business from Western Kentucky University and participated in Harvard’s General Management Program.

Martin Shafer: Making folks smile By Shannon Carey Martin Shafer has “piddled around with wood,” as he puts it, for 30 years.

rolling pins and yo-yos for museum-goers. “We’re on this Earth to help folks and make folks smile, and that’s what I’m trying to do,” he said. Now, with help from graphic designer Steve Walker and a laser engraver, Shafer is offering unique pieces of Union County memorabilia. Originally from Fountain City, Shafer moved Paulette 20 years ago. Most of his pieces are carved from locust or cedar found on his own property. The laser engraver

has allowed him to create wood coasters featuring a map of Union county. But the special upcoming piece is a Union County map puzzle. The puzzle is plywood painted white. The laser engraver adds a smoky patina to the wood. The map shows the names of various Union County communities, including Lickskillet and Sharps Chapel, along with flags and a moonshine jug. Under the puzzle is a history of Union County provided by historian Bonnie Peters. “I like for people to be able to enjoy the result of what I do, and this is something everybody can do,”

Shafer said. “I want the pieces to be big enough for a child to do it.” Each piece is one-of-akind. Shafer has leant his talents to several projects in Union County. He is doing the engraving of plaques for the Veterans Memorial near Wilson Park, and he built picnic tables for Maynardville Public Library and the Art on Main event. “I’m not good, but I have a good time,” said Shafer. The puzzles will be available for purchase at the Union County Arts Cooperative soon. Info: unioncountyarts. com or 865-992-9161

N EWS FROM PARKWEST, WEST KNOXVILLE ’ S H EALTHCARE LEADER • T REATED WELL .COM • 374-PARK

Florida woman travels to Parkwest for life-saving TAVR procedure When it comes to matters of the heart, Parkwest Cardiologist and Chief of Staff Dr. Mitchell Weiss is an expert. After 24 years performing life-saving cardiac procedures, Weiss had a first-hand look at the dramatic success stories these surgeries can provide. Last February, he moved from the role of expert physician to watchful son when his own mother, Gayl, was the one being saved. “Ms. Weiss was becoming more fatigued and short of breath because of her aortic stenosis and was no longer enjoying a good quality of life,” said Dr. Thomas Pollard, Parkwest cardiothoracic surgeon. “Given her advanced age of 90, traditional sur- Thomas gical options were limited, Pollard, MD even prohibitive. However, with the ability to perform TAVR procedures at Parkwest, we have a tool to help the very sickest of patients like Ms. Weiss who would otherwise be deemed inoperable.” TAVR is a minimally-invasive surgical procedure to repair a heart valve without removing an older, damaged one. During a TAVR procedure, a stent is used to insert a fully collapsible replacement valve to the damaged valve site through a catheter, as opposed to opening the chest through traditional surgery. When expanded, the replacement valve pushes the old valve leaflets out of the way, so the tissue in the new valve can take over the job of regulating blood flow. To qualify for TAVR, patients must be considered ineligible for traditional open heart procedures. Gayl was no stranger to being a patient at Parkwest. Despite having lived in Florida since the late 1980’s, she was one of the first patients in the new Riverstone Tower in 2005. Gayl had experienced angina,

Gayl Weiss is back home in Florida and returning to regular daily activities following her TAVR procedure at Parkwest. a type of chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart, while she and Weiss’ father, Arthur, were in Knoxville on vacation. By 2010, Gayl was showing signs of aortic stenosis which steadily progressed, eventually leading to her hospitalization for congestive heart failure in December 2014. At that time, Dr. Weiss knew some-

thing extensive had to be done. He and his siblings traveled to Florida to discuss the options with their parents. They decided that the TAVR procedure offered the most favorable outcome, but needed to determine where the surgery would take place. Even with Dr. Weiss on staff at Parkwest, the family considered multiple cardiac programs before deciding it was the best choice for them.

“We took into account Parkwest’s excellent TAVR track record, my familiarity with the team members, and our ability to be here for both of my parents,” said Dr. Weiss. “My wife, Mary, who is a labor and delivery nurse at Parkwest, was able to take off of work to help care for both of my parents.” “I’m very proud to work for a hospital that provides such excellent and compassionate care,” added Mary. Gayl and Arthur traveled to Knoxville in mid-January and spent two weeks preparing for the TAVR procedure. These preparations included a transesophageal echocardiogram, a comprehensive of ce visit and a review of her case by Parkwest cardiothoracic surgeons, Dr. Pollard and Dr. Michael Maggart. (To be considered for TAVR, all patients must undergo this type of review and evaluation by two cardiovascular surgeons who agree the patient is a not a candidate for conventional surgery.) On February 9, Drs. Nicholaos Xenopoulos, cardiologist, and Pollard Nicholaos performed the surgery. Xenopoulos, “As a team, we felt very MD privileged to take care of Gayl. We have worked closely with her son for many years and were honored by his con dence in our program,” said Dr. Pollard. The Weisses remained in Knoxville for three weeks post-surgery for recovery and rehabilitation before returning home to Florida. “Everyone was great,” said Dr. Weiss. “Nurses, physicians, you name it – all the staff took such wonderful care of my mom.”

The right ‘mix’ of expertise Multi-disciplinary approach benefits TAVR patients There’s an old saying: “Too many cooks spoil the broth.” But that is definitely not the case when a patient’s treatment plan calls for TAVR, or Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement. With TAVR, the patient benefits from the expertise of a multidisciplinary team of healthcare professionals, all of whom play essential roles. The first TAVR was performed at Parkwest in June 2012. The pro cedure gives new hope to patients who suffer from a progressive life-threatening condition called aortic stenosis, but who are not candidates for traditional open heart surgery. As of the end of 2104, 152 patients have received this life-saving procedure at Parkwest. TAVR is a minimally invasive procedure that involves placing a catheter into the femoral artery or through a small incision between the ribs and deploying a collapsible prosthetic aortic valve into a beating heart. At Parkwest, the multidisciplinary TAVR team includes physicians specializing in cardiovascular and thoracic surgery, interventional cardiology and cardiac anesthesiology, along with nurses and technicians with specialized training. The team also includes a nurse navigator

who provides education, a plan of care, emotional support, and guidance through the TAVR experience. A patient is referred to one of the interventional cardiologists or CV surgeons who perform TAVR by his or her own cardiologist or primary care physician. The patient first under goes a “work-up” that includes exten sive outpatient tests, and the results are presented at a weekly TAVR con ference. Even the operating room used for TAVR procedures at Parkwest is multidisciplinary in design. A unique surgical room, known as a hybrid operating room, combines the re sources of a cardiac catheterization lab and an operating room, including the imaging equipment needed for minimally invasive procedures. While the operating facilities are located at Parkwest Medical Center, the team includes physicians from across Covenant Health and patients come from other hospitals in the area to have this procedure.

To learn more about TAVR and the cardiac services available through Covenant Health, visit us online at www.covenanthealth.com/heart or call (865) 541-4500.

What is Aortic Stenosis? In a patient with aortic stenosis, the leaflets of a calcified aortic valve are unable to open wide, obstructing blood flow from the left ventricle into the aorta. The narrowed valve allows less blood to flow through and as a result, less oxygen-rich blood is pumped out to the body, which may cause symptoms like severe shortness of breath. With the TAVR procedure, an artificial device opens the aortic heart valve wide to allow oxygen-rich blood to flow unobstructed in one direction. The blood flows through the valve into the aorta where it then flows out to the rest of the body.
