Ministry plants seed that grows church’s desire to feed the hungry

By Betsy Pickle When Concord United Methodist Church did its first “bean drop,” volunteers tackled a pile of fresh-from-the-field green beans that was 60 feet long, four feet wide and four to five feet high, sorting and bagging them for eight hours.

“That’s a lot of green beans,” says Mike Smith, the church member who organized the effort. “There were a lot of people who didn’t talk to me the next day at church.”

This Saturday, between 10,000 and 15,000 pounds of green beans will be bagged at the church parking lot, but Smith believes he’ll get fewer cold shoulders on Sunday.

“We’re learning as we go,” he says. “We get more and more refined, and it takes less time.”

Volunteers arrive to start bagging at 8 a.m., and bag distribution to local churches and food pantries, agencies and individuals will begin at 10:30 a.m.

Smith learned about produce drops organized by the Society of St. Andrew when, as Holston Conference president for the United Methodist Men, he went to a national UMM meeting in Nashville in 2009. He saw a video that showed potatoes being dumped in a landfill – and soon talked to the Society of St. Andrew, a food rescue and distribution ministry, about how his church could help divert food from landfills to people who are going hungry.

Sarah Harralson

Sarah Harralson has all she needs for an interesting “How I Spent My Summer Vacation” essay, if need be. The Farragut High School graduate will return to Belmont University in Nashville less than a month after releasing her first EP on iTunes.

“I’ve wanted to do music my whole life,” says Harralson, 19.

“I sstarted “I tartted d songw riti iting wh hen I songwriting when was around d 10, I think. hi k At first, I wanted to be (a performing) artist, but then in my later years in high school I mainly wanted to do songwriting, and that’s it – mostly because songwriters have a more laidback life. Artists have to tour and everything. I just kind of want to stay in one place.”

Harralson was born in Alabama and lived there until her family moved to Farragut when she was 8. She started at Belmont in fall 2013, majoring in music business.

School board ‘emergency’ vote under scrutiny

By Betty Bean Knox County’s law director is taking a close look at school board chair Lynne Fugate’s declaring an emergency at the August meeting to allow a vote on Knox County Schools’ five-year strategic plan.

“We’ve received a lot of questions and complaints from the perspective of open-meetings laws and whether voting on a plan that doesn’t take effect until 2015 fits the definition of an emergency,” said David Buuck, chief deputy law director.

Fugate declared the emergency after a one-minute meeting of the board’s executive committee – Superintendent James McIntyre and herself – when Mike McMillan invoked personal privilege to postpone a vote for 30 days.

SUMMER SALE!

McMillan said he wanted four new board members (who will be sworn in Sept. 1) to have a say.

Invoking personal privilege is an established school board practice, most recently used by board member Indya Kincannon to postpone a vote on a textbook-censorship issue in 2010.

“With almost half of the board going to be new members next month, do you not think they would like to have an opportunity to take a look at this plan? What would happen if we didn’t rush through it? Any penalties? Any fines? Would we lose any funds?”

McMillan asked.

“This school board has worked on this part plan for most of a year.

We’re about to start a new school year, and this is the time when people are planning. Having our

strategic plan in place would be very beneficial …,” McIntyre said.

The strategic plan, titled “Deepening Our Work: Excellence for Every Child,” has been in the works for nearly a year, but the final draft wasn’t released until July 31 – leaving scant time for interested citizens to study it, critics say. McMillan was responding to complaints that the present board members, four of whom are lame ducks, should not be setting policy for the new board.

The plan was approved unanimously, but it wasn’t the only contentious matter at the August meeting. When asked whether all Knox County teachers had received minutes of meetings of the Teachers’ Advisory Group (which McIntyre formed in response to teachers’ complaints last fall) in

a timely manner, McIntyre said that all teachers had received all the minutes from all the meetings. Lauren Hopson, an advisory group member and a leader of the teachers who have been speaking out against KCS policies, approached the lectern to address the board. She stood silently at the front of the room until a security guard approached and ordered her to return to her seat.

A few minutes later, McMillan asked Hopson returned to the lectern, and, struggling against tears, she warned the board that not everything they were hearing was the truth. She told them that advisory board minutes had not been distributed in a timely manner to KCS teachers, or even to board members.

Ready for some Admiral football Life just got very busy for high school football players and their parents. Farragut High head coach Eddie Courtney and FHS Football Booster president Bill Tindal know this, so a quick get-together for parents and players got the season off to a fun and momentarily relaxed start.

Making music years and piano for seven, and she recently bought a ukulele. At FHS, she did “a lot of musicals.� She took guitar lessons at Pellissippi State Community College when she was starting out on the instrument.

She wrote most of the songs on the five-song EP, “Finally Found,� when she was in high school. “One of them I finished a week before I had to record it, and another song, I just didn’t like the lyrics I had for it, so I changed it the day before I recorded it, and I think I made the right choice,� she says.

Harralson says she still likes some of the songs she wrote in her early years. “Some of them I’ll hide away, but some of them I’d be OK with playing to people,� she says. Her EP, which dropped the end of July, shows her “singer-songwriter� side. “I kind of write a mix of different genres, but I’m starting to evolve more to country now,� she says. “That’s the area I want to get into with songwriting.�

She says it’s common for Belmont students to release

The boosters sponsored a barbecue the weekend before “2-a-days� practice started. Parents and players got to know each other a little better and got to spend some time together before the busy season started. “The team gets really busy now, and it is worse when school starts,� says Beth

Practicing good manners

Good manners and how easy it is to have them – with a little practice – was the subject of a class offered this summer at Smart Toys and Books. The Etiquette Factory is a franchised business managed locally

by Monica Irvine with help from Jennifer Vals as a teacher. The two do classes and camps throughout the area.

Vals had an eager group at a class held at Smart Toys and Books. As she and her daughter, Halcyon, demonstrated everything from good manners to introductions to how to give and accept an apology, the group of youngsters listened, then practiced.

Vals told her students

From page A-1 their songs on iTunes. Like them, she’s promoting her music through social media. “That’s the best way to network and get it out – Facebook, Instagram, Twitter,� she says.

Even though her goal is not to become a recording artist, it was important to release some recordings, she says. “I want to get my name out there and show that I can record as an artist, just as a backup plan,� says Harralson, who recorded the songs at a friend’s home studio. “I just want to show other people, ‘These are the kinds of songs I write; this is what I sound like.’ And also to get feedback on it, too. “Of course, I’m starting to write some country now, too. I just want people to hear my sound. After this, I’ll probably start recording more demos for publishers, probably more in the country style.�

Having an EP will help her when she’s trying to find cowriters as well. “When I cowrite with someone, we usually like to hear other stuff that we’ve done, so I can just give them this and let them

Crop drop

Farragut High School graduate Sarah Harralson has released her first EP. Photos submitted listen to it,� says Harralson. “I’ve done a lot more cowriting since I’ve been in Nashville. There are tons of people to write with. One of them went really well, and we already recorded a demo of it. Some of them just didn’t go well at all.�

Harralson says she got her songwriting genes from her late grandfather, John Ascher. “He played accordion in bluegrass bands sometimes,� she says. “He always loved to sing and get his accordion out and just play from memory or make up some bluegrass song, so I say that’s where I got it from. He passed away a few years ago, but he always encouraged me to pursue music.�

Exceptional, Innovative Senior Care

From page A-1

tor Linda Tozer arranged the first drop in 2010. Smith and his volunteers ended up with 4,000 watermelons, which they gave away in three hours.

At last year’s bean drop, they had 300 volunteers. “We try to have about 200,� says Smith. “Two hundred is a good number. Nobody gets worn out. It’s a lot of fun. We have everyone from 5-year-olds to 85-year-olds out there.�

This will be the third crop drop Concord UMC has done this year. “The young adults wanted to do one back in March, and they got Irish potatoes, which is the first time we’ve ever done those,� says Smith. “That was 40,000 pounds. We got 20,000 pounds of sweet potatoes that came out of the Fayetteville area back in May.�

Distributing food free to the community a few times a year inspired church members to think about how they could help feed the hungry on a more regular basis. Smith asked Harry Tucker, a Concord member and a Knox County Master Gardener, whether he thought the church could create a community garden. Tucker said they could at least give it a try, and Knox County Master Gardener Marsha Lehman became their “coach.�

They tilled a plot 90 feet long and 70 feet wide, and by the time the red clay was mixed with horse manure and topsoil, it became a respectable foundation. Families adopted each of the nine rows; they are asked to give 10 percent for donations and to contribute three hours of work a month.

The church also built eight raised garden beds, five of which were adopted.

Crops have included corn, pole beans, watermelons, cantaloupes, tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, zucchini, squash, okra, sweet potatoes, kohlrabi and, for fall, spaghetti squash.

The gardeners’ first harvest was seven pounds of squash, which they gave to Faith Lutheran Church’s Shepherd of Hope pantry. So far, the church and its helpers have grown and donated more than 1,200 pounds of produce. Smith also organizes “gleaning crews� who travel to area farms to pick food that farmers don’t want, and they collect leftover food from businesses such as Edible Arrangements.

They have delivered to food pantries and agencies such as Good Samaritan in Lenoir City, Samaritan Place, Positive Living, Knox Area Rescue Ministries, FISH, Vestal UMC, Wesley House, Volunteer Ministry Center, Teen Challenge, Positive Living, Love Kitchen and Water Angels.

Smith is keeping his fingers crossed that wet weather won’t keep the farmer from harvesting his green beans and delivering them to the church on Friday. “If he gets rained out and can’t get in his field, then we lose them,� says Smith. “But once we’ve got them, rain or shine, we’ll bag them and give them away.�

Red to the roots:

Lawyers aren’t supposed to forum shop, but it happens. And there’s going to be a bunch of it after the new “Red-to-the-Roots” judges take the bench next month, particularly in Chancery Court, Division II. Standard procedure is for law firms to send runners down to the courthouse to hang out in the various clerks’ offices schmoozing and biding time so they can make sure the right judge hears their lawsuits. Chancery Court, where cases are heard without the benefit of juries, has in recent years been blessed with three astute, fair-minded chancellors, so forum shopping hasn’t been much of an issue there (other than a plethora of divorce cases filed by lawyers seeking to escape the clutches of 4th Circuit Judge Bill Swann).

But after last week’s election, lawyers all over town with cases filed in Chancellor Daryl Fansler’s court are thinking of ways to get the heck out of Division II

dicted a Walker win because his campaign clearly gained energy after the tireless Diane Jordan came aboard.

But it wasn’t enough, and on election night, knowledgeable sources described the race as a contest between the “haves” and the “havenots” of her district, with the difference being that “have-nots” rarely turn out to vote in non-presidentialelection years.

The most important races I got right were the re-election efforts of Rep. Steve Hall and Sen. Stacey Campfield. I predicted they’d both lose, and they did. In addition to being allies on the far-right fringes of the GOP (they were Tea Party before the Tea Party was invented), Hall and Campfield are close friends and tireless campaigners

who have lent each other a hand in past contests. This year, they couldn’t do that because they were each fighting for their political lives against the toughest opposition ever.

Look for the issue of abortion to figure into the 13th House District race between Democrat Gloria Johnson and Republican Eddie Smith, who was recruited by state Rep. Bill Dunn. The vehicle for this will be Amendment I, which will give the legislature the right to outlaw abortion, even in cases of rape, incest or to save the life of the mother, if the U.S. Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade.

And finally, come Sept. 1, there will be no Democrat holding countywide elective office in Knox County.

Just saying.

You should also just say “no” to these fashion faux pas: tights, leotards, plaid Bermuda shorts, T-shirts that read “I’m With Stupid,” stovepipe hats, chaps and beanies.

You spent thousands on campaign mailings, but it’s just as important to send out a professional thankyou note now that you’ve vanquished what’s his name at the polls.

Use caution. It’s common for the brain to short circuit when writing political messages.

A few horrifying real-life examples illustrate what can go wrong: “Get a Brain!

Morans” (sign seen at a political rally); “Respect AreCountry Speak English” (sign held aloft by a Texan who likes hyphens); and “No Amnety” (in fairness, we also oppose amnety).

Finally, there’s “Customer Parking Only – All Others Will Be Toad,” which has nothing to do with politics but certainly makes you feel jumpy.

Now that you’re part of the political elite, it’s time to cash in on the opportunities you’ve earned with your dazzling triumph.

Suppose that in the months leading up to your campaign you had devised a method for reducing residential water usage to a level desert-dwelling Bedouins

would envy. Time to cash in.

Imagine what a waterstarved state like California would give for your invention. Everyone from Arnold Schwarzenegger to Jack Nicholson would be clamoring to endorse your patented “Trickle Down Toilet.”

NASA would be among the first government agencies to license your technology. The Trickle Down would accompany astronauts on the first manned mission to Mars.

Before long your bank account overflows with royalties.

Flushed with success, you aim for the top. If you can send a toilet to Mars, there’s a seat waiting for you in the Oval Office.

The scrum for state AG In the next three weeks leading up to Sept. 1, the state Supreme Court must meet and select the next state Attorney General for an eight-year term to 2022.

It is likely current AG Bob Cooper will not be picked for a second term. He was former Gov. Bredesen’s choice, which the prior Supreme Court honored. Gov. Haslam has worked well with him, but it is now a new day, even with the current court continuing, and there will be a Republican Attorney General.

Sources suggest it could be William “Bill” Young, who is the administrative officer of the Tennessee Courts, selected by the current Supreme Court. He is

a Williamson County Republican who previously worked for BlueCross. However, there are now reports he may have donated to the Ron Ramsey PAC that funded the campaign against the three justices recently retained. If true, that might deep-six his aspirations to be AG. Two state senators are also being mentioned. They are Majority Leader Mark Norris from West Tennessee and Doug Overbey from Maryville, who actively supported the three re-elected justices. Overbey is a highly respected lawmaker who handles complicated legislation.

Bob Woodruff, the official Florida coach at the time, thought the lad was very smart.

Marvin Doug Dickey was 31, an West obscure assistant at Arkansas, when Woodruff won the tug of war, became Tennessee athletic director and 1964 team – until the last immediately placed a call to Fayetteville. three weeks of November.

He asked trustee to think of it, there were Tom Elam for his stamp of several unlikely leaps. Ten- approval. The old lawyer nessee was twice the high- asked Dickey to explain the light of his career. switch from one kind of ofDickey, once ninth-string fense to another.

Dickey’s response was among Gator quarterbacks, was perceived as a coach classic: “It is not too comon the field when he finally plicated. You take out the got on the field. Old Vol blocking back and put in

a quarterback and go on about the business of playing football.”

Dickey inherited a defense. Middle guard Steve DeLong and linebacker Frank Emanuel made it into the Hall of Fame ahead of the coach. Linebacker Tom Fisher would have been an all-American if he had lived longer. Joe Graham and Carl Ellis were scrappy tackles. Bob Petrella was an excellent safety. Ron Widby punted away many problems.

Offensive Vols didn’t accomplish great things, but they tried very hard. Hal Wantland was the stuff of legends. Paul Naumoff, then a split end, eventually gained fame as an NFL

linebacker.

Wantland, splendid blocker and better captain, was the original quarterback. Art Galiffa eventually won the job. Leake quarterbacked the upset victory at Georgia Tech.

The Vol defense gets credit for the biggest play of 1964, a moment of truth against undefeated LSU in Baton Rouge. DeLong led the charge that stopped Tiger star Rusty Schwab eight or nine inches short of the goal and preserved a stunning 3-3 deadlock.

Dickey said that triumph, oops, tie was “a giant step forward.” It gave the Vols a reason to believe.

The spirit endured but bodies faltered late in the season. Ole Miss romped, 30-0, in Knoxville. The Vols also lost to Kentucky and Vanderbilt.

plain interesting.

The rain crow’s proper name is yellow-billed cuckoo. They belong to a big family that includes the bird of cuckoo-clock fame, the Europe- and Asiadwelling common cuckoo.

Then there’s their weird cousin, the roadrunner of our Southwest, famous for its exploits with the hapless Wyle E. Coyote.

We have three cuckoos in North America. The yellowbilled cuckoo summers in most of the eastern part of the U.S., the black-billed ditto but with a little more northern tendency, on into southern Canada. And the mangrove cuckoo, a Caribbean bird, is found only in the Keys and southern coast of Florida. Though their songs are different enough to be distinguishable, they’re very similar in appearance. A look at your favorite field guide will show you what I mean by “similar.” It takes a bit of study, but they can certainly be told apart as long as a

person can get a decent look at one. You are much more likely to see a yellow-billed cuckoo here in our location.

I spoke of getting a decent look at a rain crow – that’s not an easy task.

Patience and luck are helpful. Cuckoos appear to be lanky, slithery birds that usually fly short distances from one dense cover to another and then become invisible in their new tree.

They tend to forage by sitting quietly and waiting for a food item to give itself away by moving just a tiny bit. Once you spot where a cuckoo is in a tree and watch for a while, you will see it moving slowly along, looking for food but all the while keeping leaves and branches between itself and you, with only a single eyeball or tip of tail visible to the frustrated birder.

Our cuckoos also nest in thick cover, in a loose platform of twigs lined with grass and leaves. How many eggs they lay depends on how much food is available

to them. They like large insects like cicadas and katydids and are one of the few birds that will eat tent caterpillars. If the right food is abundant the cuckoos tend to produce more eggs than they care to look after, and so lay a few in another cuckoo’s nest, or even leave a few in a robin’s or catbird’s nest.

Such behavior is the norm for the European cuckoos; they lay their eggs only in other birds’ nests, like our cowbirds.

Like a primitive South American bird called the hoatzin, young cuckoos leave their nest at about seven to nine days after hatching, before they can fly.

They spend the next couple of weeks clambering around the shrubbery, exploring their surroundings, still being fed by their obviously patient parents.

We don’t hear the song of the yellow-billed cuckoo nearly as often as we used to. The experts tell us they have declined in numbers by 1.6 percent per year over

50 years since Doug Dickey debut If memory and the calendar are correct, we are approaching the 50th anniversary of Doug Dickey’s first team at Tennessee. Time for a reunion?

Think about it – 50 years since the conversion from single wing to T formation, and the Volunteers are again looking for a quarterback.

What’s going on now is nothing like what happened then. Butch Jones has choices. Dickey had to create his.

He looked everywhere for a quarterback, even in the team dining hall. There he found David Leake, a waiter. He became a pleasant surprise.

Dickey was a pleasant surprise, too. So was the

The rain crow Some of the best memories of summer are the sounds. Who isn’t instantly carried back by the sound of an ice cream truck? Some folks recollect summer memories brought back by fireworks, parades or thunderstorms. For me, it’s nature’s outdoor sounds – the early-morning chorus of the birds, the lazy afternoon sawing of the jar flies, the nighttime singing of a thousand katydids.

It’s definitely not spring, but a surprising number of birds are still here, singing their August songs. One bird in particular is known for its habit of singing on a hot, humid summer day, especially if there is some likelihood of a shower of rain.

Way back in the middle of the last century, my Granny Collier pointed out the mysterious kow kow kow kow of the rain crow to me, coming from somewhere in the

Dr. Bob Collier

dense green leaves, and she evidenced little doubt that the bird’s prediction of an approaching rain shower would be correct. It was a strange and haunting sound, something a person would store away and remember the next time it was heard.

Looking back, I wonder now why I didn’t try to see the bird. We just accepted that sound as a normal part of nature, knew what it was coming from, and, of course, expected it to rain.

The rain crow has always been a favorite, partly because of nostalgia, I’m sure, but also because they’re just

Fifty years ago was the beginning of great things to come. Dickey exceeded expectations. His six-year record was 46-15-4. He beat Alabama three in a row.

Alas, he opted out. Going back to Florida didn’t work out exactly as planned, but in a really strange circle drill, all was forgiven and he returned to Tennessee as replacement for the retiring Woodruff.

Dickey’s charming personality irritated some, but he was a winner as coach and athletic director. He raised money, improved facilities and skillfully navigated NCAA storms.

Dickey made sense. If you are keeping score, he made Tennessee better. Hiring basketball coaches was not his specialty.

the past 30 years, a loss greater than 50 percent. But in British Columbia, Washington and Oregon, the decline has been a dreary 4.6 percent per year.

Doing the math, we see they’re out past zero there.

The western cuckoos are what the biologists term “extirpated,” meaning “gone.”

That’s mainly due to the loss of their favorite nesting sites – cottonwood and willow thickets along streams.

Dams, development and irresponsible grazing have added up to no habitat, and no more yellow-billed cuckoos.

Our eastern yellow-billed cuckoos are not quite as picky about their nesting requirements.

Although in decline, the rain crows are hanging on. I heard the song and then saw a pair of cuckoos in Union County in mid-July, apparently nesting. I wish them well.

Hearing that song makes me smile just as much as the music of the ice cream truck.

In the field: Missions fill summer for Christ Covenant members

By Bonny C. Millard Members of Christ Covenant Church have spent the summer doing what they love: sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ and being of service to others. The church members have had a full itinerary of mission trips, including trip to Belfast, Ireland.

The church’s media coordinator, Teresa Pratt, who co-led the Belfast group, shared details about the trips that both church leaders and congregants, including whole families, have experienced this summer.

“We have this passion for sharing Jesus Christ with a lost and dying world,” she

said. “We want to change lives. We want the Lord to change lives.”

In Belfast, Vacation Bible School is known as Holiday Bible Club, which Pratt’s team was involved with while serving at the Dundonald Presbyterian Church. They also went into elementary schools to share the Christian message through puppets and music.

Grant Standefer, executive director of Compassion Coalition in Knoxville, and his wife, Rhoni, provided leadership for a men’s and a women’s group, respectively. Standefer also preached one Sunday while they were there.

Team members also led street worship with music and had the opportunity to talk to passersby. In the evenings, activities for middle and high school students were held.

“We had amazing people,” said Pratt. “It’s anything but a vacation. It’s very busy. It was an amazing trip.”

And while Pratt has returned home from her gospel adventures, her two teenage daughters, Jamie and Emily, are in Ghana, Africa, carrying out mission work at two orphanages. They are staying with church members, Tim and Bev Ochs, who have been

Her daughters are stayed at one of the orphanages. “I’m kind of envious,” said their proud mother.

“They’ve had so much fun with the children.”

Christ Covenant’s senior pastor, Jim Barnes, led a

group of 22 people to England for a week to assist with an international ministry, TEAM, whose European missionaries meet every three years for their own spiritual encouragement, she said. Barnes, who spoke last year at TEAM France, was invited to preach at this year’s gathering.

Christ Covenant’s youth have been involved in mission work stateside in Chicago, Utah and North Carolina. The church also works with local agencies.

“Jesus has changed our lives, and we want to share that with people,” Pratt said. “It’s just a passion to share him with others.”

Guests ‘come and play’ at Messiah Lutheran’s art open house

By Wendy Smith Starting with a clay ball, Sandy Booher took fouryear-old Mila Yau through the steps of making a bowl.

She showed her how to make a hole in the ball, then make the hole bigger by pinching the sides. When Mila looked

at the bowl she’d created, her face lit up.

That reaction is what Messiah Lutheran Church member Anne Driskill had in mind for the church’s art open houses, which were held on alternate Thursdays throughout the summer. Last

ways to bring art back to the community, and Driskill opted to simply set out art supplies and let people of all ages “come and play.”

“Anybody can do art,” she says.

A number of small children from the congregation,

as well as nearby Erin Presbyterian Church, have been regular attendees. Youngsters from Erin Presbyterian learned about the art open house when the two congregations co-hosted Vacation Bible School this summer.

A very good July for real estate markets

By Sherry Witt The month of July was a productive one for property sales around the county, and it was actually the first time in several months Sherry Witt that activity surpassed that of the same period in 2013. For the month that ended July 31, there were 1,065 property transfers recorded in Knox County. By comparison, July 2013 produced 1,010 transfers.

Fueled by some sizeable commercial transactions, the total value of property sold in July was also up from last year. Around $292 million worth of real property was transferred in Knox County, surpassing last July’s figure of $248.5 million. That puts total land sales here at almost $1.3 billion so far in 2014.

Building off a June surge, when more than $300 million was loaned in mort-

gages and refinances for the first time this year, July produced an even better month in lending, with $347 million being borrowed against real estate in Knox County.

This was nearly identical to the $349 million loaned last July. The first two quarters of 2014 had seen a substantial decrease in mortgage lending compared to last year, but the past two months have closed the gap considerably.

There were two significant commercial property transactions in July. One involved the Sunchase apartment complex on Cedar Bluff Road, which sold for $26 million. Also of note was the sale of the Downtown Hilton on Church Avenue, which brought a price of just over $25 million.

I want to thank everyone who voted in the county and state elections last week. Regardless of your affi liation or choice of candidates, your participation in this important process is greatly appreciated by those of us who serve in public office.

Walking for

By Bonny C. Millard The fact that walking provides many health benefits is nothing new, but Strang Senior Center Coordinator Lauren Monahan wants the center’s clients to be aware of how much they are walking.

The senior center is partnering with Walgreens and its program “Walk with Walgreens.” The drug store chain provided pedometers and tote bags to give to the center’s clients.

“I wanted the group to become aware of how much exercising they do get,” Monahan said, adding that that this program encourages the center’s clientele to move more. “I think it’s important for these people to be active and to be aware of their activity level.”

Monahan said the traditional concept of exercise or calisthenics is not appealing to many, but walking is a way to achieve necessary health benefits.

Wilson Ipaye, the Walgreens community leader for the Farragut area, said the company started “Walk with Walgreens” about four years ago. Although the national program has changed to another health and wellness platform, the “Walk with Walgreens” is still used in this area as part of its senior initiatives emphasis.

Ipaye said that Walgreens’s managers make contact with senior centers in their areas and invite them to participate in the program. So far about five centers in Knoxville are participating in the two-month program, which started on Aug. 1. It’s particularly important for senior citizens to stay active, he said.

The centers will compete for prize money based on the number of steps overall and for the highest average of steps. For each category, a center will receive $1,000.

Monahan said her center has had a strong response during the first week, even without knowing about the potential prize. The center has 224 people signed up already. “The fever’s spreading.”

Monahan wears a pedom-

eter on her shoe because it’s easier and doesn’t get in the way. She was pleasantly surprised one day to see she had walked 7,000 steps. She didn’t think it would be that high because she works at a desk most of the day but said it’s a good

example of how many more steps people are taking than they realize. That revelation is what she wants to the center’s clients to see.

Merritt Garner, store manager of the Farragut Walgreens, said 10,000 steps are considered a mile.

Getting ready for honored guests

By Bonny C. Millard The Medal of Honor Convention scheduled for September is expected to be the largest gathering of living medal recipients in history.

Joe Thompson III, committee co-chair, met with the Rotary Club of Farragut, Rotary Club of Knoxville and the Knoxville Breakfast Rotary during separate meetings to give an update on the convention, which runs Sept. 10-13.

The Medal of Honor, established in 1862 by President Lincoln to honor veterans for military valor, is the nation’s highest award.

Thompson said 3,500 people have received the honor, with about half of those awarded posthumously.

Almost half of the 79 living recipients have committed to coming, he told members of the Rotary Club of Farragut on July 30.

A merican Airlines is flying them in for free.

The conv e nt i o n’s $1.9 million budget is financed through doThompson nations and in-kind services.

Many events, both public and private, have been planned, including a private dinner at Blackberry Farm in Walland. A concert with the Charlie Daniels Band will be held Sept. 11 at the Tennessee Theatre.

“I am absolutely certain he’s (Charlie Daniels) going to bring the roof down at the Tennessee Theatre,” Thompson said.

Two town hall meetings are scheduled: at the University of Tennessee and at Y-12 weapons complex. Actor Gary Sinise will be the

master of ceremonies at an awards gala to honor four individuals with Patriot Awards, including: Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito Jr., actor Mark Wahlberg, Jake Topper from CNN and David Feherty, a Golf Channel celebrity.

“It will certainly be a star-studded event,” he said.

On Friday, Black Hawk helicopters will transport MOH recipients to 10 local schools to meet students.

MOH’s Character Development Program has trained 1,200 Tennessee teachers, and 65,000 middle- and high-school students have participated in the program, which teaches core character values.

“The Character Development Program is the most important thing to the Medal of Honor recipients. It’s their legacy,” he said. “It’s an outstanding teaching resource.”

very patient who completes treatment at the Provision Center for Proton Therapy rings the Victory Bell with family, friends and Provision staff cheering them on.

When Marshal Munro of Kingsport rang the bell Aug. 7, he did it with a packed house of well-wishers. Why? Because he is the 100th patient to complete treatment at Provision.

Just six months ago, Provision Center for Proton Therapy treated its first patient, Richard Patton, who was on hand to congratulate Munro.

Munro completed 39 treatment sessions at Provision in just over eight weeks, travelling two hours one way every day from his Tri-Cities home.

After a second bout with bladder cancer, Munro asked his doctor for a PSA test, which screens patients for an enzyme associated with prostate cancer. His PSA level was elevated, and a biopsy showed that Munro

had prostate cancer. Doctors told Munro that, considering his age and medical history, he should just wait and watch.

That was not good enough for Munro. After ruling out traditional radiation and surgical options, he discovered the Proton Therapy Center in Jacksonville, Fla. He made plans to travel there for treatment until the staff in Florida told him about the Provision center in Knoxville.

“When you get a cancer diagnosis, the first thing that comes to your mind is, ‘I’m going to die,’” Munro said.

“But cancer is no longer a death sentence, especially with Proton Therapy.”

Even with the long drive, “the time has just flown by,” Munro said. “This facility is one of the best I’ve ever seen, and the people who work here are fantastic.”

“It really is a privilege to walk through those doors every day and see the courage of our patients,” said David Raubach, Vice President

Mary Lou DuBois, president of the Center, echoed his sentiment. “We are excited to be able to celebrate the graduation of our 100th

patient,” she said.

“We are blessed and honored to provide our community and this region with the most compassionate and effective cancer treatment available today.”

Provision Center for Proton Therapy welcomes Dr. Tamara Vern-Gross Board certified radiation oncologist Tamara VernGross, DO, FAAP, has joined Provision Center for Proton Therapy. Dr. Vern-Gross specializes in palliative medicine and pediatrics, with specific research interest in the diagnosis and treatment of central nervous system tumors, sarcomas, breast cancer, gastrointestinal malignancies, chest wall/ lung tumors, and pediatric malignancies.

“I am really excited to become part of the team here at Provision,” said Dr. Vern-Gross. ”Ever since my first day here, everyone has made me feel right at home.

It feels wonderful to be part of an organization where the priority is working together to provide the best care for our patients.”

Originally from Chicago, Dr. Vern-Gross received her

undergraduate degree from Northwestern University and her medical degree from the Des Moines School of Osteopathic Medicine.

After a Pediatric residency at Advocate Christ Hope Children’s Hospital in Chicago, her specific interests in improving quality of life and optimizing symptom management led her to pursue the Harvard Palliative Medicine Fellowship at Massachusetts General Hospital. She subsequently completed her Radiation Oncology training at Wake Forest Baptist Health in Winston-Salem, NC. She comes to the Provision Center for Proton therapy after a Fellowship in Pediatric Proton Therapy at the University of Florida Proton Therapy Institute. Dr. Vern-Gross is board-certified in Radiation Oncology, Palliative Medicine,

and Pediatrics.

She is the author of a number of book chapters and peer-reviewed publications.

She embraces family centeredcare with a focus on improving disease outcomes and cure rates, minimizing the late effects of radiation therapy, and addressing survivorship concerns for both children and adults.

When she is not working, Dr. Vern-Gross enjoys spending time with her husband and visiting with her family in the Midwest.

She enjoys cooking for and entertaining friends and family; however, she prefers her husband’s culinary creativity. Leisure activities include music (piano/cello/ elective listening), horseback riding, windsurfing, great conversation, and indulging in a rare lazy Saturday afternoon nap.

Board certified radiation oncologist, Dr. Tamara Vern-Gross, has joined the medical staff at Provision Center for Proton Therapy.

Double hip hurrah

Maryville woman sings praises of bilateral hip replacement It began as an ache in Elizabeth Boedefeld’s hip joints back in 2004, but over time, the pain grew much worse.

Nothing seemed to help the 66-year-old Maryville woman – not the frequent physical therapy sessions and certainly not the steroid injections that had long since lost their effectiveness in easing the pain.

“It grew to the point that the pain didn’t go away,” she recalled.

“It wasn’t fun to do anything. If I got down on my knees and tried to weed our garden, I literally couldn’t get back up. I couldn’t go out shopping – just walking down the aisles at Kroger was a hassle.

I couldn’t walk around the mall. I would walk a little bit but then my hips would seize up. It was, ‘Wait a minute!’ and I’d have to take a breath and then I’d take a few more steps. Life was miserable.”

Today, however, it’s hard to get Elizabeth to slow down after orthopedic surgeon Dr. Hal Cates replaced both hips in separate surgeries at Parkwest Medical Center.

“I can garden, I can do anything Hal Cates, MD I want really,” she said. “You can’t even tell that I have new hips. That’s how good it is. The other day my husband, Ralf, and I were in West Town Mall and he would tell me to ‘Slow down!’ To think that I could hardly walk but in just a few months, I’m back to being 100 percent as if I was a teenager again. That’s like a miracle.”

A miracle indeed.

First performed in England in the early 1960s, hip replacement surgery made its U.S. debut in the 1970s. Since then, it has made so many advances in surgical techniques and technology over the past 40 years that it is now considered one of the most successful operations in all of medicine.

In fact, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) es-

Thanks to her double hip replacement surgeries at Parkwest, Elizabeth enjoys all of her previous favorite activities, from gardening, to walking and spending time on her back deck at home. timates more than 285,000 total hip replacements are performed each year in the United States.

Even so, Elizabeth’s decision to see an orthopedic surgeon was not made without some trepidation.

Gathering a list of recommendations from her family doctor and others, she reluctantly booked an appointment with Cates – a decision she felt much better about after a chance encounter at lunch.

“Before my appointment with Dr. Cates, Ralf and I were having lunch in Turkey Creek,” she recalled. “There were five or six people at a table next to us and they were laughing and making a little bit of noise, and they apologized for disturbing us. That’s when I heard one of them say Dr. Cates’ name. I said, ‘Oh, do you know Dr. Cates?’ and they said, ‘Oh yes!

We’re all his patients and he was to join us for lunch but couldn’t.’ I turned to Ralf and said, ‘Gosh! He even has a fan club!’ ” The group’s high praise for Cates put Elizabeth at ease for her

first appointment. But the greatest comfort came when he walked into the examination room.

“He had the X-rays there and he put them up on the wall. In a very direct, simple, professional, friendly way, he pointed out all the things that were causing the problems. He said, ‘This doesn’t get better. It will only get worse, and the only thing to get relief is surgery.’ He said it in such a way that you knew he knew what he was talking about. He left you with this feeling of 100 percent confidence in him. He is so easy to talk to, just like a farmer sitting down and talking about his crops.”

But the “crops” in this case were Elizabeth’s ball-and-socket hip joints which Cates described as “among the worst I’ve ever seen.”

“She had generative cysts, extreme loss of motion and pain,” Cates said. “She had a very high pain tolerance so she was able to put up with the pain and functional limitations more than most people would have.”

The steroid shot she had received off and on for years, Cates said, is simply a potent anti-inflammatory that is less effective for relieving pain in the hips than on shoulders, knees and elbow joints. “Usually, one injection may work but the second and third are very unpredictable and unlikely to work,” he said.

While both of her hips were in bad shape, the right one was giving her the most pain. So, surgery on that hip was set for April 10, 2012, at Parkwest. In an hour long operation, Cates made a small, minimally invasive incision on the side of her hip, removed the femoral head and replaced it with a metal stem. The acetabulum, the cup-like depression ball-andsocket joint, was replaced with a metal socket, into which fit a polyethylene liner that allows for a near frictionless range of motion, thereby reducing pain and restoring the range of motion.

She remained hospitalized at Parkwest for three days, a stay she

said was “quite pleasant” despite the circumstances.

“I can’t sing their praises enough,” Elizabeth said. “The folks in registration, X-ray, physical therapy, made you feel that you were No. 1. On the unit, if I needed something, I never had to ask for it. The rooms were so spotlessly clean. It was like being in a fivestar hotel. Honestly!”

Almost immediately after surgery, the road to recovery began.

“They had you up and going to physical therapy right away,” said Elizabeth. “And of course, there are a whole lot of folks there so you aren’t going to be the only one who can’t do it.”

After her discharge from Parkwest, the rehabilitation continued at home and at a Maryville physical therapy clinic (three one-hour sessions a week for seven weeks).

“That (physical therapy) and not being a couch potato is a big part of your recovery,” she said.

She was off her walker within a week and was soon enjoying working in her garden again. So pleased was she with the results that she found herself looking forward to the next hip surgery which was set for Sept. 5, 2013, her and Ralf’s 33rd wedding anniversary.

“When I went to get the second one done, I thought, ‘Maybe the first time was just a fluke. Maybe I was just lucky.’ But Parkwest was as good the second time as it was the first time. I didn’t have to ring for anything – they would just come and see if you needed anything. It has to be one of the top-notch hospitals you can have. I can’t imagine going anywhere else.”

Elizabeth is just sorry she waited so long.

“The only thing I would say to people is, ‘If you have sore hips, don’t put up with it. Go and get it fi xed because it’s such a successful operation! I can’t believe the difference and I can’t believe it could be so good. After suffering so long, the physical therapy and the injections and what not, and then to find out how good it feels when they did it, that’s a miracle.”

What is a hip replacement surgery?

Hip replacement, also called total hip arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure to replace a worn out or damaged hip with a prosthesis (an artificial joint). This surgery may be considered following a hip fracture (breaking of the bone) or for someone who has severe pain due to arthritis.

Various types of arthritis may affect the hip joint. Osteoarthritis, a degenerative joint disease that affects mostly middle-aged and older adults, may cause the breakdown of joint cartilage and adjacent bone in the hips.

Rheumatoid arthritis, which causes inflammation of the synovial lining of the joint and results in excessive synovial fluid, may lead to severe pain and stiffness. Traumatic arthritis, arthritis due to injury, may also cause damage to the articular cartilage of the hip.

The goal of hip replacement surgery is to replace the parts of the hip joint that have been damaged and to relieve hip pain that cannot be controlled by other treatments.

If your hips or knees are holding you back from the things you miss most, you will want to check into the Parkwest Joint Center – The Retreat.

The facility provides patients the opportunity to make the most of their stay and benefit from amenities not typically associated with a hospital. The experience is designed and implemented to coincide with the Parkwest Medical Center motto of ensuring that patients are Treated Well. Well Treated. in a nurturing envi-

ronment where patients can recharge, renew and rejuvenate.

Since we work in small therapy groups, the Parkwest Joint Center is focused on you. You are not sick – you are well. You have received a new joint and we understand that it is important to return to an active lifestyle again … as soon as possible.
