Kane updates on Karns underpass State Rep. Roger Kane is working with the Tennessee Department of Transportation to improve drainage at the railroad underpass on Byington Solway Road. “Part of the flooding problem at the underpass was on one side the inlet was clogged with supplies from past painting projects. After removing buckets and paint cans on that side, it should flow better,” he said. “TDOT also scheduled to come out and work on the tennis court side of the underpass to help improve drainage on that side.” Kane said he’s asked for additional signage to clarify the underpass height. “Daily we have 18-wheelers backing up, not realizing they can go straight and avoid the underpass because the signage is poor,” he said. “That should be installed soon.”

Town plans By Carolyn Evans If you live, work or play in Farragut, you know this to be true: Farragut loves parks. The town offers more than 150 acres of public lands within its 16 square miles, including parks, open space and greenways. Seems fitting that the community would be part of a national celebration of public lands. On Sunday, Sept. 27, residents and guests can get outside and participate in the national initiative when the town of Farragut hosts “Celebrate Your Parks.” The free event for all ages is sanctioned by National Public Lands Day, the nation’s largest, single-day volunteer effort for public lands. In 2014, approximately 175,000 volunteers worked at more than 2,100 sites throughout the country. Farragut’s celebration will be from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. at Founders Park at Campbell Station, next to the Farragut branch of the Knox County Public Library. Young and old alike will have the chance to To page A-3

Apartment developers skip FBMA changes to the plan should be difficult, he said. He wants to sit at the table for the process. “We do know how and when to compromise.” According to Town Administrator David Smoak, Continental Properties asked for the agenda item to be removed within a day or two of the meeting. He expects the rezoning request to be heard soon. The board approved, on first reading, the rezoning of a sevenacre parcel that will be Phase III of Briarstone Subdivision on Turkey Creek Road from R-2 (General Single-Family Residential) to R-1/OSMR (Rural SingleFamily Residential/Open Space Mixed Residential Overlay). The rest of the subdivision is already R-1/OSMR. The board also approved a Special Event Application for the Farragut 13.1 Half Marathon/5K,

By Wendy Smith Opponents of the proposed Continental Properties apartment complex on Smith Road were disappointed that the company asked the Farragut Board of Mayor and Aldermen to remove its rezoning request from last week’s agenda, but two of them took the opportunity to address concerns about the town’s land use plan. During the Citizen’s Forum, Michael Wilson of Farragut Citizens for Responsible Growth and Development said the rezoning issue has taken so long because the town’s Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) has never been formally adopted. The plan needs to be tweaked, to make it fair and equitable, and then adopted, he said.

By Betty Bean Last fall, the Development Corporation of Knox County put a bunch of county commissioners on a bus and took them to four of the county’s eight industrial/ business parks – WestBridge, Hardin, Eastbridge and the Pellissippi Corporate Center – but one place they didn’t visit, or even talk about, was Midway Road, the site of an almost 20-year battle between Knox County government and East Knox residents bent on preserving the rural character of their community. So far, the citizens have staved off the business park, but District 8 County Commissioner Dave Wright, who represents the Midway Road area, made a prediction: “Nothing (is happening now) – but it’s going to be something someday, and we’ve got kids graduating every year from Carter and the Career Magnet Academy who’ll be looking for a job. I’d rath-

er see them on the Midway Road exit as opposed to Hardin Valley.” Mayor Tim Burchett, who says the county needs to make good on its $10 million investment (now written down to $6.4 million after TVA took a chunk for a transfer station) or divest itself of the property, is making a new push to get community acceptance in the form of a bus tour and a cookout. Two more public meetings organized by the Development Corporation indicate that “someday” has arrived. The meetings are Thursdays, Sept. 17 and Oct. 8, both from 6:30 to 8 p.m. in the Carter Elementary School cafeteria. Asked on “Tennessee This Week” what’s changed, Burchett said residents of East Knox County trust him after he’s kept his promises on schools and taxes. Elaine Davis, president of the French Broad Preservation Association, said she and other community leaders had been assured

that they would be included on the ground floor of any new planning process, but she was concerned when she learned that plans for Midway got underway four months ago. She said she first learned about it from a media report late last month. “Evidently we are part of some new process, but East Knox County constituents have not been there in the beginning,” she said. “We want to be a part of the process. We are asking for transparency, a seat at the table and to have input on what’s being put into our community.” Wright said he warned his fellow board members to get the neighborhood involved. (He sits on the governing board of the Development Corporation because he was vice chair and now chair of Knox County Commission.) “I was asked at a board meeting why I opposed Midway, and I said, ‘Because I represent those people.’

which will be held on Saturday, Oct. 31. The race will begin and end 30 minutes earlier than last year, and the route was adjusted slightly to begin and end at Farragut High School. Ray Wilson of the Knoxville Track Club said he expects 1,200 to 1,500 participants this year, with roughly half participating in each event. Alderman Ron Pinchok requested that the Kingston Pike section of the course be more clearly marked for automobiles. Wilson said it would, and that 26 Knox County Sheriff’s deputies will be on the course. Smoak introduced Robbie Lawson, the new Sheriff’s Farragut Precinct captain, who replaces Capt. Brad Hall. Lawson says he likes to stay busy, and he plans to be a visible presence in the town.

I told them, ‘If you’re going to do something out there, and do what you did in the past, you’ll come out with the same result.’” Burchett said a KUB proposal to handle wastewater will have safeguards against other developments tying in, and opens up the way to lay a sewer line to Loves Creek or Eastbridge. He said he will work to get community buyin. “We need to grow the tax base. That’s the way you grow an economy – not by taxing people more.” Bill Emmert, whose home is bordered by the proposed business park, worries that it will cut off access to Thorn Grove Cemetery, run cooperatively by three neighborhood churches. “The county’s been doing a lot of quiet work on this thing, but we’re still against it. And we wonder if they’ve told Tim (Burchett) the whole truth, because he’s been with us in the past.”

Vols not quite ready for prime time Random football thoughts, looking back, looking ahead: The disappointment of blowing a 17-point lead should be viewed in the context of the Miracle at South Bend. Games are only half over at halftime. Incidentally, Baker Mayfield was the best quarterback on the field Saturday evening. September games against good opponents are valid measuring sticks to see how the Volunteers compare with the rest of the football world. Two years ago Oregon demolished Tennessee, 59-14. Last year Oklahoma romped, 34-10. I suppose losing in two overtimes is the third-year

Seat C candidates reveal differences at forum Last week’s City Council candidate forum, hosted by the League of Women Voters at Clinton Chapel AME Zion Church, was the best attended of this year’s crop of forums, suggesting that voters might actually be interested in the three contested City Council seats. The contest for at-large Seat C, now held by Finbarr Saunders, is the most interesting. Two of the four candidates will move forward to the Nov. 3 general election following the Sept. 29 primary, and two will go home. Early voting for the primary runs through Sept. 24. Saunders’ opponents are event planner and marketer Kelly Absher, Sequoyah Hills resident and smallbusiness owner Paul Bonovich, and math tutor and Pond Gap Neighborhood Association president David Williams.

Marleen Davis to run for County Commission By Betty Bean Marleen Davis was recruited to Knoxville 20 years ago to become dean of the University of Tennessee’s College of Architecture and Design. She became the fourth American woman to hold such a position and the youngest dean at UT. She has an undergraduate degree in architecture from Cornell, a master’s from Harvard and a daunting string of awards, honors and accomplishments. She was dean of the school of architecture for nine years and has been a full-time faculty member

in the years since. In 2006, she was recognized as a Fellow of the American Institute of ArMarleen Davis chitects. In 2013, she was named Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture Distinguished Professor. But it’s not as though Davis has led a “town and gown,” ivory-tower existence. Her resume includes a hefty list of community volunteer work, including

co-chairing Nine Counties, One Vision’s Downtown Taskforce Downtown Design Review Board and serving on the boards of the East Tennessee Community Design Center and the Tennessee Theatre Foundation. And now, Davis, a Democrat, mother of two grown sons and longtime resident of Sequoyah Hills, has decided to run for the Fourth District County Commission seat next year. Lots of people are going to ask her why. Here’s what she’ll say: “As a career educator and as an architect, I understand the importance of

G&O Trail to connect Kerns Building with Mead’s Quarry By Betsy Pickle The 10th annual Legacy Luncheon for the Parks celebrated gifts. Carol Evans, executive director of Legacy Parks Foundation, saved the most intriguing gift for last. “Working with Gulf & Ohio Railroad, we are going to create the G&O Trail, a three-mile, multi-use trail stretching from Chapman Highway from the Kerns Building, all the way into the heart of the Urban Wilderness at Mead’s Quarry at Ijams Nature Center,” she said. The new trail will connect the merchants and businesses of the Chapman area with South Knoxville’s nearby neighborhoods and parks and with the amenities of downtown.” “Just like New York’s High Line or Atlanta’s BeltLine, it can be

iconic for our city,” said Evans. “It will be a commuter route; it will be a recreational route and provide a key link to our Urban Wilderness.” Evans thanked Pete Claussen, founder and CEO of Gulf & Western, and his wife, Linda, for their generosity. The Claussens previously donated land for Seven Islands Wildlife Refuge, now Seven Islands State Birding Park. She also thanked the crowd for celebrating the foundation’s 10th birthday with her and her staff. “Over the past 10 years, we’ve raised a little over $4 million for parks and outdoor space,” she said. “We’ve added about 400 acres of parkland in Knox County and have helped protect over 1,000 acres of land in East Tennessee. We think that’s a great start.”

our neighborhood, schools, commercial districts and parks in creating a great quality of life, which also improves the economic well-being of the county.” That’s her formal answer. She also believes that Democrats need to contend for local races. “I come from a large family that is split Democrat/ Republican. I see myself as a moderate, and I will be looking for common ground. That’s the basis of our government. Too many people believe that compromise is a dirty word – that goes for being red or being blue, being left or right.”

government Republicans in the race include incumbent Jeff Ownby, Janet Testerman and Hugh Nystrom. Recognizing that one of County Commission’s most contentious duties is presiding over land use and zoning disputes between neighborhoods and developers, she says she believes that her consensus-seeking philosophy will serve her well in these matters. “Developers like planning. With a plan that is flexible and not rigid, we have a clear path forward for economic growth. And with a clear plan, you can attract business. A clear di-

rection is very important for the private sector,” she said. As an architect, Davis describes herself as a “21st century person” and cites the McGhee Tyson Airport as one of her favorite local buildings because of its use of local materials and representation of its surroundings. “It’s beautiful, and it’s functional.” She also likes the City County Building, with its low-lying Main Street façade and its multi-story Hill Avenue annex. And she’s hoping to spend a lot more time there in the future.

More names surface for Supreme Court Last week, this column discussed whom Gov. Haslam might name to replace Justice Gary Wade on the state Supreme Court. Space did not permit a full discussion. In fact this column mentioned only two well-known names, state Attorney General Herb Slatery and U.S. Rep. John Duncan. Duncan actually has more experience in public office than Slatery, having served as a Criminal Court judge for seven years, plus his 27 years in Congress. He is a few years older than Slatery. Slatery gets good reviews on his first year as state AG, and he has more experience practicing law. Both could easily be confirmed by the Legislature. Slatery’s appointment would trigger a new attorney general being named by the state Supreme Court for the remaining seven years of the term. Duncan’s appointment would trigger a special election to fill the congressional seat he now holds for the remaining eight months of his term, plus the regular 2016 election in November after the August GOP primary. However, let’s assume Slatery and Duncan do not seek the seat on the state high court. Then where does Haslam go next? He can take the appellate route and pick from existing judges like Kenny Armstrong on the appellate court from West Tennessee, which would place an AfricanAmerican on the top court. Haslam might want to be the

Victor Ashe

first Republican governor since Lamar Alexander to appoint an African-American to the high court. He might go to Thomas “Skip” Frierson, also on the appellate court but from East Tennessee. Federal magistrate Bruce Guyton from Knoxville is a possibility. Current legal counsel to the governor Dwight Tarwater is being discussed. Former Haslam city law director Morris Kizer is another name. He served on a special Supreme Court recently. Members of the Legislature are barred from appointment for the term they are currently serving. The state judiciary would prefer a current judge from the state system. However, there is an argument to be made that a court is better rounded when its occupants have a diversity of experience and not be channeled from the appellate courts only. It is all up to Haslam. My intuition suggests Slatery has the inside track if he wants it. But does he want it? If that happens, it will be interesting

Someone else? Slatery will get to vote on his successor. ■ Dale Smith is leaving as head of the troubled Public Building Authority in three and a half months. He is the highestpaid person working today in the City County Building at the $190,000 range. His reported successor is Jayne Burritt, who is on staff and was endorsed by Mayors Rogero and Burchett without a search process. She currently has a salary in the $130,000 range but is expected to be bumped up to the $160,000 range when she takes over. The talk is also her position will not be filled, saving more money. Again, the PBA members apparently will accept these recommendations. Actually it is the Public Building Authority that hires and sets salaries, but the members are clearly following the instructions of the two mayors, even though they are supposed to be an independent board. Though appointed by the mayors, they cannot be removed by them during their term. It is surprising that Rogero has abandoned a search process as she is normally all about a transparent process in hiring, but not this time.

Happiness is a By Carol Shane Brenda Maupin’s unusual style has its beginnings in kindness and compassion. In the 1970s, working in the lab at ET Children’s Hospital, she and her colleagues had to do “hurtful things,” as she says, to children. The procedures needed to obtain blood cultures and bone marrow understandably caused fear and distress among the young patients. “All personnel wore white,” Maupin remembers. “One night, I took my young son’s ‘Peanuts’ coloring book and traced Snoopy with a marker on my lab coat. The children decided that someone with a lovable dog reference couldn’t be all bad. “In those years, there were ‘Peanuts’ stores and many items in gift shops and department stores, and I bought collector plates, toys, games and party supplies, which were all popular at the time. My house soon filled with Snoopy things.” Such easy availability of “Peanuts” products created a monster. Brenda, with her characteristic deadpan delivery, says, “The illness set in.” Since then, she’s never left her house without Snoopy. Printed on her clothes, dangling from her ears, grinning on her watch – you can always find the beloved beagle when Brenda Maupin’s around. Her grandchildren aren’t the only ones who call her “Snoopy lady.” Traveling to out-of-town UT games and New York City in the ’80s, she ran across the designs of Bill Ditfort and Marisa Christina, both of whom have at one time or another featured the four-

I wore them in the lab until I retired.” She bought hats too, with the advisory: “They have to be subtle if you’re going to wear them to church – the kids are all over them.” She soon lent her own hand to her own creations.

Looking to move into a smaller residence one day, she’s in the midst of organizing and photographing many of her treasures for eventual sale on eBay. Her son Bo, a graphic designer in Columbus, Ohio, eagerly supports her in finding new homes for the items. “He thinks I’m crazy,” she says. And it all started because of loving kindness.

Mission to Rwanda supports churches, businesses By Carolyn Evans A seven-member team from Christ Covenant Presbyterian Church in Farragut has recently returned from Rwanda, a country where the average family income is $100 to $200 a year. The mission team led conferences to help pastors, church volunteers and Christian business people. They visited Rwanda’s genocide memorial and mass gravesites with the remains of 268,000 people. They stayed in guesthouses with sporadic electricity and no hot water and sometimes no water at all. All say the mission was worth the temporary hardships. Rwanda’s overwhelming needs coupled with its hunger to be fed spiritually have led the church to send teams for the past several years, say the team members. This year’s team included Ginger Forbes, children’s director at Christ Covenant, and her husband, David; Mike Hicks; Joel and Sarah McCall and their daughter, Rebecca McCall Setzer; and Chuck McArthur, a Florida resident who is the director of Equipping Leaders International (ELI). They returned Aug. 19 from the two-week trip. The team led conferences in Kemenve, a city on the border of Congo,

and in Kigali, the capital. “I was struck by their passion for the Gospel,” said David Forbes. It was his first time to go, and he says he definitely wants to go back. “They’ve been through so many difficult times, but despite what they’ve been through, which none of us can ever imagine, they want to get closer to the Lord. There’s a striking difference to the U.S. We’re fairly indifferent and go through the motions, but they’re on fire … It’s invigorating!” The country is more politically stable now and is more than 90 percent Christian, he said. This was Ginger Forbes’ second trip to Africa, but her first time to Rwanda. “The thing that amazed me about Rwanda,” she said, “is that they’re getting their schools back in order, but Christian education of the children is just not happening. It was a great opportunity to go in and talk to them about creative ways to teach the Bible to children using puppets, acting, games and songs.” Mike Hicks, a church member who is on the board of directors of ELI, has also been to Africa several times. He has been working with ELI to establish a “Christianity in the Marketplace” model. He led workshops

While the men were leading conferences on business practices, Ginger Forbes, Sarah McCall and Setzer led conferences on children’s ministries. The church leaders who attended have almost no materials to work with, no curriculum, McCall said. “There was a really sweet girl named Noelle on the border of Congo,” she said. “She was one of the children’s teachers who didn’t own a Bible. We bought her a Bible before we left. She hugged us and was so excited.”

It has every word of the Biblical texts in alphabetical order, as well as dictionaries of the Hebrew and Greek words. It even includes a special section listing every use of a, an, and, and the. It is, needless to say, quite a large and heavy book (roughly 9 inches by 11 inches, containing1,808 pages), which has led some wags to opine that is why it is called Exhaustive. I bought my copy 25 years ago, when I began writing this column. It is worn now, and older (so am I, come to think of it), but I count it among my best friends!

It is comforting to know that even the writers of the New Testaments books had trouble remembering where they had read a certain quote. How often have I (and probably you) said, “Well, it says somewhere in the Bible that ….” When the authorship of a particular quote is in question, Paul usually gets mentioned, probably because he wrote so prolifically, and his writings survived. Hebrews, however, is an anonymous document. We don’t know who wrote it. So, when the author (whoever he was) says that “someone has testified somewhere,” we can relate to his predicament. The problem with our vagueness (and for some folks, with their lack of familiarity with Scripture) is that we can’t quote accurately or appropriately. We take things out of context, we misquote, we misinterpret, and, if we are not very careful, we misuse Scripture for our

Three years ago, the women met with ELI leaders, telling them they wanted to get out of prostitution. They borrowed money to start micro businesses such as jewelry making and have paid back every cent. Now these women are lending money to other women. With $70 and some training, they get their businesses off the ground. “What stunned me was their faces,” Joel McCall said. “If ever there was a reason for anybody to be in 10 years of counseling, they had them.

While deciding upon which college to attend and studying for classes and exams – basically, while living teenage lives, Ely and Farner not only accepted the responsibility of directing “Little Women: The Musical,” but they came up with the idea themselves. The two friends have been writing plays together since they were in kindergarten and have encouraged each other in the theater

ever since. During Ely’s sophomore year, she decided she’d like to step behind the scenes and try directing. Farner had directed and choreographed “Cabaret” and, like Ely, he also enjoyed working behind the scenes. The duo inquired about directing the senior production, and after a very lengthy application process, FHS fine arts teacher David Crutcher gave them the green light. Production and rehearsals began in March, and now Ely and Farner meet daily after school for two hours to prepare. “Little Women: The Musical” will be performed 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Sept. 25-26, and 3 p.m. Farragut High School seniors Josh Farner and Madde Ely reSunday, Sept. 27, in the Fer- hearse at Madde’s house for their production of “Little Womguson Theater at Farragut en.” Photo by S.

New faces, new sounds By Carol Shane Knoxville Symphony Orchestra musicians and staff are gearing up for an exciting year – a year of new faces, new music and new experiences. As most KSO fans know by now, six young conductors from all over the world will be flexing their batons on the Tennessee Theatre stage, vying for the position of the orchestra’s new music director and conductor. And the musicians are excited. “I am looking forward to ‘trying on’ different conductors to see how they handle such a diverse group of people,” says flutist Jill Bartine. “Ditto!” says cellist Stacy Nickell Miller. “And playing good programs!” The season is indeed loaded with spectacular repertoire, and the first concert this week is no exception. Violinist Elizabeth Farr points out that, “It’s all American! Audiences really, really love Gershwin, and the Bernstein ‘Symphonic Dances from West Side Story’ are familiar yet exciting to most people.” Indeed, there are few pieces which you’re piec pi eces es iin n wh w ich you re going g

to hear members of a symphony orchestra snap their fingers and yell, but the vigorous, exciting suite of Bernstein dances demands both. Young, charismatic American pianist Sean Chen will lend his muscular technique to George Gershwin’s “Piano Concerto in F.” It’s less familiar than “Rhapsody in Blue,” but it’s still got all that good Gershwin stuff – blues, jazz, piano pyrotechnics. A 2013 Van Cliburn International Piano Competition award winner, Chen promises to deliver an exciting performance. For this first pair of concerts, there will be a familiar face on the podium. Maestro James Fellenbaum, the KSO’s resident conductor, has been an energetic and creative presence for nine years, leading Masterworks and Chamber Classics concerts as well as outreach, pops educational reac re ach, h, p ops and educationa

Ticket holders can attend pre-concert chats at 6:30 p.m. in the concert hall before each performance. Guest performers will offer

their personal perspective and audience members will have a chance for Q&A with the artists. If you’re already a KSO fan, welcome back for another exciting season. If you’re new to the KSO or to classical music, you couldn’t find a better concert to jump-start your knowledge and interest.

This year is no exception. Films in the festival’s regular schedule are creating buzz, and the timed competition – the 7-Day Shootout (screening 7-10 p.m. Friday) – has led to a near frenzy with its grand prize of $20,000 toward turning a short into a feature-length film. Kelly Burke is a regular at local “shootouts.” Since

moving to Knoxville from Bristol more than a decade ago, he’s made 22 short films, most of them for timed contests and several of them award-winners. They’re “a good way to push me to do something,” says film-school dropout Burke, who describes himself as “extremely competitive.” “Left to myself, I might never do anything.” Burke, whose day job is at Jewelry Television, wasn’t able to do a film for the 2014 KFF, so this year, he decided to enter the 7-Day Shootout and submit a feature film for festival consideration. Each had its problems. He started writing “Terminal” (Film Block 10, 1-3 p.m. Saturday) in January. It didn’t come together on paper as quickly as it should have, and he ended up abbre-

viating it to a 24-minute film – still the longest piece he’s made. He had about a week to shoot it in order to make the submission deadline. For his 7-Day, he gathered his cast and crew to start shooting on the Saturday before the 8 p.m. Wednesday deadline. Six hours in, he pulled the plug, unhappy with the feel of the film. He switched to another idea, wrote another script and resumed shooting at 10 p.m. Monday. “My goal was to get something turned in that I wasn’t embarrassed by,” he says. “I think we at least accomplished that.” Amy Hubbard has been a force on the Knoxville arts scene for more than

two decades. She was the star of Paul Harrill’s Sundance Film Festival awardwinning short “Gina, An Actress, Age 29” – and has directed and acted in countless theater productions. During a stint at East Tennessee PBS, Hubbard directed a documentary as a local companion to PBS’s “Makers” series. That, along with her experience on stage and screen, led executive producers Dee Bagwell Haslam, Ross K. Bagwell Sr. and Rick Zivi to select her to direct the feature now titled “Prison Break-in” (Film Block 16, 6:30-8:30 p.m. Saturday). “I don’t know how many other people they had talk-

ed to,” says Hubbard. She says Bagwell told her they “had a feeling about you.” “It was very flattering.” Hubbard shot the film in summer 2014 – mostly at her house – and hoped to finish by the end of the year, but as with many features it took longer than expected. “I basically went to film school making this movie,” she says. “I made a feature film. There are plenty of people who go into business to be a filmmaker who don’t have that accomplishment. “So I’m extremely grateful to Ross and Dee and Rick. They were super supportive and respectful.” The cliché in Hollywood

is, “But what I really want to do is direct.” It’s true in Knoxville, too. “This has been in my mind for a long time as something I’d like to attempt,” says Hubbard, who works as a freelancer (casting, wardrobe, location) for Jupiter Entertainment. “Now I’m addicted to it. “What I bring to the table is story and working with actors and making sure I’m pulling out that performance.” Hubbard and Burke say it’s great to have the Knoxville Film Festival present the work of local filmmakers. And they both plan to keep shooting – to make their feature-length dreams come true. “Prison Break-In” will play Sept. 25-Oct. 1 at Downtown West. Whether he wins the shootout or not, Burke, who has written seven feature scripts, will keep writing till he gets “the one.” “I haven’t really found the one yet that I want to dedicate a year of my life to,” he says.

Farragut Middle has ‘history of excellence’ ﬁelds,” Trent said, adding that technological advancements continue to change the way students are taught. Edmonds said testing and accountability are also playing an increasing role in education. This year, the school’s 1,400 students will have to take 10 assessments. “We’ll be in the 14,000 assessment range,” he said. “Ten of them will be online so we’ll give 10,000 online assessments. That’s a lot.” Trent said that nearly 50 percent of the students take honors classes, and many students have two-four high school credits when they enter high school. During his time at the school, Trent started a program of college ﬁeld trips that includes visits to Maryville College, CarsonNewman University and Lee University. Thinking about which college to attend starts as early as eighth grade, Trent said. Before Trent spoke, the club recognized two Rotarians as Paul Harris Fellows: past president Lee Mrazek and Mark Bialik.

Workshops to connect farmers, chefs Farmers and chefs now have the opportunity to meet, connect for business and ultimately create an ofﬁcial statewide alliance. The Tennessee Farm and Restaurant Alliance will serve as a hub for farm-tofoodservice relationships and for information about issues related to farm and food business. To become an alliance member, a farmer or food service professional must attend one of four free workshops to be held across Tennessee and apply to participate in the Tennessee Department of Agriculture’s

Pick Tennessee Products program. Once the new Tennessee Farm and Restaurant Alliance is formed, Pick Tennessee Products will add a new consumer service to its website and mobile app: a listing with GPS mapping to restaurants committed to using local and farm-direct products whenever possible. Workshops will be held Monday, Sept. 28, at the UT Conference Center in Knoxville; Oct. 12 in Memphis; Nov. 2 in Nashville; and Nov. 16 in Chattanooga. To register, email PTP.restaurant@ tn.gov

What’s going on? Is the market volatility that we are currently experiencing a correction, a downturn, a crash? In one form or another I have heard that question often over the past few months. I do not know when the next bear market for stocks will occur, but it will certainly happen. It will be followed by a Rus Hunt, CFP bull market, another bear market, a bull market, bear market, and on and on it will go. I have also been receiving a lot of unsolicited email from various ﬁnancial organizations warning of an imminent market crash. The common theme seems to be that they have a system to predict when the crash will occur and also exactly what to do to proﬁt from it, protect your assets, etc. Unfortunately, their concern for me and my money does not come without a price. To receive this special, inside knowledge I have to pay for it – buy their book, subscribe to their newsletter, watch their long video and then subscribe to their newsletter

or invest in their mutual fund. It is entirely possible that what they offer is full of great advice, information and perfect market predictions. Most likely it is full of something else. I believe the best response to this noise is to ignore it. Focus on what you can control. Does your investment plan take the inevitable ups and downs of the market into account so that you will not react emotionally to those changes? If not, then you should focus on developing a plan that does. A well-formulated plan will allow you to avoid reacting to market changes but will respond according to your plan. If you need help, ﬁnd an advisor who is more interested in understanding your goals and concerns than in selling you a product. Work with them to establish a plan and to help you stay disciplined within that plan when anxiety, greed or fear compel you to make poorly timed decisions.

By Bonny C. Millard Although Danny Trent served as Farragut Middle School’s principal for only two years, he still has a close connection and fondness for the school. Trent was promoted this year to supervisor of secondary education for Knox County Schools. The school has a rich tradition and a history of excellence, he said. Trent and Weston Edmonds, now principal after serving as assistant principal under Trent, spoke to the Rotary Club of Farragut about the school. Trent worked for Kroger for 19 years before deciding he wanted to get into education, and since starting with the school system in 1992, he’s also been principal at Carter and Karns middle schools, and Central High School. In his new position, he is responsible for eight middle schools and eight high schools, evaluating principals and working with the schools to make them better. “Education is changing rapidly, just like other

NEWS FROM PROVISION CENTER FOR PROTON THERAPY

Eddie Check aims to honor a dad and save lives Free prostate cancer screenings can detect cancer early

evin Kirkland was a high school senior on the football practice field when he learned his father, Eddie, had been diagnosed with late-stage prostate cancer. Four years later, his dad died from the disease. Kirkland doesn’t want anyone else to go through that experience. Eddie Kirkland’s diagnosis was particularly difficult for Kevin because his mother had died a year before from breast cancer. Breast cancer was just gaining the public’s attention, while prostate cancer lurked in the shadows. “Back in 1972, you didn’t hear people talk about prostate health, you didn’t hear people talk about PSA tests because there were no PSA tests,” he says. “I always said one day I wanted to do something that impacted men’s health like breast cancer awareness has impacted women’s health.” More than 30 years later, Eddie Check was born. The program pairs free PSA tests for men with a Medic blood drive. The first event in 2004 had one Medic bus and did 50 PSA tests and collected 50 units of blood. At its beginnings, the initiative was called the Eddie Kirkland Memorial Blood Drive and Free PSA Testing Event Radio talk show host Phil Williams said ‘come get your Eddie Check’ on the air one year and the name stuck. The event is coordinated by Nisus Corp., where Kirkland now serves as president and CEO. A year later, there was a second event, expanded to a second location. This year, there will be Eddie Check drives in 10 locations throughout eight East Tennessee counties. The initiative involves live radio shows on location with partners including News Talk 98.7, WIVK and WNML and an annual blood drive contest with football fans at the University of Florida. Last year, the program collected 1,200 units of blood with more than 1,000 PSA tests conducted. “All of a sudden it really started gaining its own strength and its own personality,” Kirkland says. “We’ve had tremendous support from the hospital community over the years. And then when Provision Center for Proton Therapy opened, they became our medical sponsor, and they’ve been an absolutely wonderful advocate and partner. And the Provision CARES Foundation now

Proton Therapy Facts: ■ Proton therapy is NOT experimental ■ Proton therapy was approved by the FDA in 1988 ■ Medicare/CMS have reimbursed proton therapy since 2000 ■ More than 100,000 patients have been treated with proton therapy worldwide ■ The cost of proton therapy for prostate cancer is now the same or lower than conventional treatments, without the damaging side effects ■ A five-year, peer-reviewed study released by the University of Florida Proton Therapy Institute found that 99% of prostate cancer patients remain cancer-free ■ There are 1.6 million new cases of cancer diagnosed each year ■ Tennessee ranks fifth in the nation for deaths from cancer

Eddie Kirkland circa 1943. Kirkland, a Staff Sergeant in the Marines and WWII veteran, passed away from prostate cancer in 1976. The Kirkland family started Eddie Check to honor him and to spread awareness and encourage men to get regular preventive prostate cancer checks.

pays for all of the PSA tests.” The event allows men, many of whom are hesitant to set up an annual physical exam, to get the PSA test for free while also performing a community service. “Men don’t really like to go to the doctor, let’s just face it, they don’t,” Kirkland says. “With Eddie Check they can just stop by and get a free PSA test.” For Kevin Wathen of Maryville, getting a PSA test through Eddie Check revealed what a recent trip to his doctor had not: an elevated PSA level. A follow-up biopsy with a urologist revealed that nine of the 12 samples tested positive for cancer. “There were no symptoms to tell me there was a problem,” Wathen says. “If I hadn’t had the test done I wouldn’t have given it any thought.” As a result of Eddie Check, Wathen learned of his diagnosis and became an early patient at Provision Center for Proton Therapy. There, his prostate cancer was treated with protons, a type of radiation that pinpoints a tumor and spares much of the healthy tissue around it. This reduces side effects such as incontinence and impotency as well as discomfort during the time of treatment. Wathen was one of the ﬁrst to receive hypofractionated proton therapy treatments at the center, a shortened, more intense course that allows therapy duration to be cut in half. “It still doesn’t feel like I ever had cancer,” he says. Wathen says he would recommend men of all ages taking advantage of the free annual PSA test, at least to establish a baseline for further testing. “Especially with Eddie Check being available at no charge,” Wathen says. “I’d do it every year.” As Eddie Check has grown and expanded, Kirkland says more men locally are becoming familiar with the risk of prostate cancer and how to keep tabs on their health. After 11 years of the Eddie Check program, men often approach him to discuss early detection. “I think the education and the promotion we put out for prostate health have really resonated,” he says, adding that other programs coordinated by local hospitals and advocacy organizations have provided a boost to the most common of men’s cancers. “I think all of that has really improved education on prostate health. It has made us proud to be a small part of that.”

Get checked! Eddie Check will be held at six locations on Thursday and seven on Friday (10 different locations) in eight East Tennessee counties including Knox, Anderson, Scott, Hamblen, Cocke, Blount, Roane and McMinn. Blood samples for PSA screenings will be taken at every location during all hours, even if you don’t donate blood. The free PSA screenings are available for men 40 years of age or older, or in the event of family history at an age 10 years younger than the affected relative's age at his cancer onset. “Early detection is always the best protection against prostate cancer,” said Marcio Fagundes, MD, medical director of the Provision Center for Proton Therapy. “The prostate speciﬁc antigen (PSA) test is one tool that men have available to detect the presence of prostate cancer. While an elevated PSA does not always mean cancer is present, it is an important benchmark for

men to monitor and share with their family physician.”

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES

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

z If you don’t snooze, you lose z Sleep is a basic human need that impacts all aspects of health. When sleep is lacking or disrupted, various critical body functions are negatively affected. This is especially dangerous for older adults who may be more susceptible to developing new or worsening serious health issues. In fact, the prevalence of disturbed sleep increases as individuals age. According to the National Sleep Foundation, 44 percent of seniors experience disturbed sleep at least a few nights each week. Dr. Berta Bergia, a board-certi ed sleep specialist in Parkwest’s Sleep Disorders Center, says the two most common sleep problems she sees in senior patients are obstructive sleep apnea and insomnia, both of which can be deadly if untreated. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is the complete obstruction or collapse of one’s airway during sleep, causing pauses in breathing that can last a few seconds to minutes. During these pauses, oxygen levels can drop dangerously low, putting a person at higher risk of heart attack and stroke. Many people who suffer from OSA are unaware of their condition because they are not conscious to experience physical symptoms like snoring, gasping or partially rousing from deep sleep. Other symptoms of this condition often include insomnia, daytime sleepiness, inability to control high blood pressure and/or blood sugar despite proper medications, and frequent awakening throughout the night to urinate or for no apparent reason. OSA is more common in people who are overweight, but it can affect anyone with a large neck or narrow throat. “If someone comes in complaining, ‘I’m still tired no matter how much I sleep,’ apnea is suspected. Many times the person doesn’t realize how many times he or she is waking during the night and not entering deep sleep,” said Bergia. Chronic insomnia is a sleep disorder that causes a person to have dif culty falling or staying asleep three or more nights a week for one month or longer. Chronic insomnia can be a symptom of sleep apnea and the two conditions often co-occur. The most common symptom of insomnia is daytime sleepiness or fatigue, which can cause decreased mobility, falls and accidents when driving. This condition can stem from a true lack of sleep issue, an improper or nonexistent sleep schedule. “A person suffering from insomnia is likely to say, ‘I never sleep,’ when in many cases they are sleeping, just not when they are supposed to,” explained Bergia. “Disturbed sleep is largely underreported among seniors,” said Gwendolyn Crenshaw, family nurse practitioner (FNP) and educator at Parkwest Sleep Disorders Center. “Many seniors believe sleep problems are ‘simply part of the aging process,’ ‘just an inconvenience’ or ‘not worthy of discussion’ with their doctor. We need to

While effective, these methods are not always covered by a patent’s insurance.

correct that way of thinking.” Crenshaw, who has eight years of experience working within sleep medicine, stresses the importance of taking the rst step to make an appointment. The assessment process involves an overnight stay at Parkwest’s accredited Sleep Disorders Center in a comfortable bedroom setting. Trained experts use the latest technology to monitor the patient’s sleep patterns, allowing doctors to make a diagnosis and staff to begin educating the patient about the array of treatment options.

Treatment Lifestyle adjustments Reversing insomnia is challenging, but one of the rst steps is establishing a proper sleep schedule and practicing good “sleep hygiene.” Sleep specialists work with the patient to formulate a plan based on his or her existing schedule. It usually involves omitting daytime naps and establishing set sleep/wake times. If a patient’s sleep apnea is mild and occurs only in certain sleeping positions, such as on one’s back, he or she can practice strict “back avoidance” in bed. A patient may also be encouraged to lose weight in order to reduce pressure on the airway. “Some patients can completely correct mild sleep apnea on their own by losing weight,” explains Crenshaw. “However, we realize that this can be especially dif cult for those already lacking adequate sleep and energy. Our team can address those obstacles and provide tools that will help you sleep better, resulting in more energy and stamina that can be applied to exercise.”

ity, safer sleep. For this reason, it’s become the “gold standard” treatment for sleep apnea. Some patients elect to use it long term, while others use it as a short-term solution while they lose weight with the goal of being independent from all sleep-improving devices. “CPAP technology has come a long way in just the last 10 years; the machines are compact and quiet,” said Crenshaw. “And modern masks are smaller, lighter and more comfortable than ever before.”

Crenshaw and her colleagues work one on one to nd customized solutions for patients with sleep problems. They are trained in not only nding the right device, but also in determining the perfect pressure setting for each patient, making the CPAP effective and comfortable.

Regardless of the complexity of the sleep problems, senior patients can rest easy about the care they will receive at Parkwest. Those who have been unsuccessful with other treatments in the past and people with co-occurring disorders or problems that are not easily controlled are encouraged to make an appointment. When asked about what makes Parkwest Sleep Disorders Center effective, Bergia and Crenshaw agree that it’s the supportive team approach and emphasis on communication that reassures patients that they aren’t alone on this journey to experiencing better, safer sleep. “We are con dent that our team of experienced doctors, nurses and sleep technicians offer the most support you’ll nd at any sleep center,” said Greg Belcher, manager of the Sleep Disorders Center. “Our staff is here to help at every level, from consultation to the follow up appointment.” To nd out more, call the Parkwest Sleep Disorders Center at 865-373-1974 or visit www. treatedwell.com/parkwestsleep.

Stock a wardrobe

that has

staying power

lamorous models strut their stuff at fashion shows around the world, and many women and men hope to emulate the latest styles debuting on the runway. No matter what Stella McCartney, Burberry or Phillip Lim is showcasing this season, outfitting a wardrobe means blending trendy pieces with items that will stand the test of time. A closet filled with trendy clothes may find you catching eyes this season, but come next season you may regret breaking the bank for a new wardrobe that is already outdated. A better approach may be to purchase some classic pieces before embellishing them with current looks.

this season

Men Every man should own a classic, welltailored suit. It’s a business or special event staple, and the jacket can be dressed down over jeans and loafers. It pays to spend a little more money now on a suit that will last. Make sure it fits well by having a tailor adjust hems and sleeve lengths accordingly. Swimming in an oversized suit or squeezing yourself into a suit that’s too small won’t provide the look you’re going for, so find a suit that fits you right so your investment pays off when the time comes to look dapper. This season’s fashion trends lean heavily on knits for men and women. Cable knits and Fair Isle sweaters will always have their place, but more mock turtlenecks and oversized pieces are showing up. Knits can be worn over button-down shirts to the office or paired with distressed jeans and boots

for a casual night on the town. Jeans and slacks are important components of any classic wardrobe. Straight-leg cuts will not go out of style as quickly as tapered legs or widehemmed options. Pants in neutral colors can be mixed and matched for endless wardrobe possibilities. Tartan plaid, made popular in the Scottish Highlands, is trending in women’s fashion this season, but it’s also a look men can achieve quite

easily. A tartan plaid tie is a statement piece that can brighten up any wardrobe without overwhelming it. Checks, gingham and plaids are back in a big way, but it’s best to use them in moderation.

Women Neutral foundation pieces, such as a black pencil skirt, slim slacks or soft, jersey pants, are items to include in any woman’s wardrobe. These staples are

easy to pair with some winter trends as you look to put your most fashionable foot forward. To recreate the ‘mod squad’ trend that is growing in popularity, pair a skirt with a turtleneck or mock-neck sweater and knee-high boots. Each piece can be worn separately with other accessories should the mod look fall out of favor down the road. Tomboy looks were another runway trend at recent fashion shows. Wider-cut ‘boyfriend’ jeans, oxford shoes and boxy blazers can make it look like you borrowed items from your favorite guy without investing too much in over-the-top looks. An easy way to make any outfit look more hip is to pair it with sneakers. From dresses to blazers to slacks, sneakers peeking out below can add street credibility to any look. Sneakers add a touch of whimsy to even the most conservative items in your closet. Investing in a good pair of sneakers also will serve you well as you head to the gym or take a lunch-hour stroll. Fashion trends come and go, but with practice anyone can find a blend of pieces that will provide bang for your buck for years to come.

5 simple design tricks to

hether you’ve just moved into a home or you’ve lived there for years, it might be time for a design tune-up. While many may think tackling their home décor takes a bundle of time, money and expertise, it doesn’t have to be so frightening. You don’t need to spend a fortune or go to design school to breathe a little life into your home. “It’s all about simplicity,” says Susan Yoder, interior design expert for Clayton Homes. “A little goes a long way when it comes to home décor and living spaces. Only a few simple changes can make a big difference and allow you to create a room you’ll be itching to show off to friends and family.” Yoder offers a few of her design tips that will help any homeowner revamp their space: Pops of color. “Nothing livens up a room like a bright pop of color,” Yoder says. If you have neutral-toned furniture, try sprucing up the room with lamps, curtains and accessories in bold hues. If you’re up for a painting challenge, an accent wall is a great way to incorporate color into a space. Choose your favorite color from a throw pillow or wall-art piece in the room to pull the look together.

t is difficult to look your best when you’re bundled up to protect yourself against cold winter weather. After all, fashion tends to fall by the wayside when the focus is on keeping warm. However, there are ways to put a fashionable foot forward, even if that well-clad foot is stepping in a puddle of slush.

Scarves Scarves serve a practical purpose, helping to keep your body warm, and they’re also a fashionable staple of winter wardrobes. Scarves can be used to dress up an ordinary ensemble, providing a chic or bohemian look as you navigate city streets. Crocheting or knitting scarves is still popular, but you don’t have to be a seasoned craftsman to in-

Nashville Jewelry designer coming to knoxville

PSTAIRS at Todd Richesin Interiors is featuring a jewelry trunk show by Mary James Jewelry Designs on Thursday, September 24th from 3 to 7 and Friday, September 25th from 10 to 5. Mary James Jewelry is designed by Mary Wallace from Nashville, Tennessee. Wallace was inspired by the contents of an old war trunk found in her father’s home, and the jewelry line was named for her and her father James. Inside the trunk was an array of antique war medals and old watch fobs that sparked her creativity to launch a jewelry line like no other. Inspired by a love of European architecture and all things Parisian, as well as her father’s stories of travel during World War II, Mary creates unique pieces that reflect a classic, timeless, fashion-forward style that resonates with women of all ages. Some pieces are one -of-a-kind, some are one-ofa-few, and each is rare.

thing that gets you energized and motivated. Get creative and run with the theme it creates. Or if your style is more on the modern side, an antique object will stand out among your contemporary décor. Symmetrical yet functional. The furniture collection in a room should form a restful, symmetrical layout. It’s all about balance. There should be between three and 10 feet between each seat. Additionally, instead of pushing each piece up against the wall to create more space, give your furniture a bit of breathing room a few inches from the wall. This makes the room appear open and airy. Clutter-free organization. Getting rid of clutter is a grand challenge for most homeowners. When you decide to take on the mess, drawers and cabinets are your best friends. Take some time to go through your belongings and decide what to keep, donate or throw away. Store any leftover items that can cause clutter in an organized, out-of-sight area. Use these tips to revitalize your space and you’ll be ready to confidently host gatherings and enjoy your home instead of shying away from your living space.

attire with a long, flowing wool coat with a cinched belted waist and you will look on point for winter.

Convertible mittens Fingerless gloves that have a mitten flap that can cover chilly fingers are a prime accessory for cold days. They allow easy access

The prospect of flattened, lifeless locks compels many men and women to forgo hats on cold days. But a few tricks can give you the best of both worlds: a warm head and nice hair. Begin by going for regular trims that will keep dried-out or split ends from becoming problematic. After washing your hair in the morning, apply a conditioning treatment to prevent fly-aways. Be sure your hair is completely dry before donning a hat, otherwise hair can become matted and look flat all day. Loose-fitting cotton or fleece hats may be less likely to flatten hair than a wool hat, and you can keep the hat slightly off the crown of your head to prevent your hair from flattening. When all else fails, women can pull their hair back into ponytails before putting on a hat, which can help keep a style in place better. The arrival of winter does not mean you have to sacrifice your fashion sense. There are plenty of ways to look your best even when the temperature has plummeted.

Super secondhand style By Carol Shane

Although suitable for everyday wear, each antique medal Mary uses is spun into a work of art that becomes an heirloom to be passed down for generations. Themes for the pieces range from victory medals featuring beautiful angels, to agricultural awards which feature horses, rabbits, and other animals. All medals are mixed with precious and semi-precious stones, freshwater pearls, opals, turquoise, lapis, or carnelian. All are set in either sterling silver or gold fill.

Mary recommends layering the pieces, and building a collection of different styles that can be worn together. The pieces can go from daytime to evening, and are equally at home with jeans and a t-shirt, a cocktail dress, or business attire. Versatility is key to her designs. Please join us at UPSTAIRS for this 2-day jewelry trunk show event and enjoy a wine and tasting menu by Knoxville celebrity chef Holly Hambright.

Like any true devotee of vintage fashion, Amanda Dalton has a favorite piece with a story attached to it. “My leather Oshwahkon vest with wooden buttons is a custom handmade product, solely sold at a store on Broadway in the 1970s,” she says. Dalton didn’t know that until after she had bought it. Intrigued by the hand-sewn label complete with address, she did some research. Oshwahkon was a high-end leather boutique located in New York City’s Soho neighborhood, well-known as an edgy fashion district. According to a blog post by Arthur Cohen, one of the company’s two founders, “We sold to every major rock and movie star in the ’70s.” That’s the great thing about vintage clothing – purchasers not only get great looks for less, they often get a bit of history in the bargain. Dalton, who lives in Bearden, has been hooked on hand-me-downs since she bought her first pair of secondhand polyester pinkish-purple slacks as a teenager. A Fulton High School graduate, she earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology from UT and worked for over six years with children in the state’s custody. She later managed wellknown local vintage clothing store Planet XChange. She admits to being “somewhat of a gypsy,” having previously lived in Austin, Texas and Nashville, among other places. She’s currently employed as a nanny. And “I fix things,” she says, under the moniker “Handy Manda.” Finding inspiration in Natural Building, a practice based on a centuries-old Celtic tradition in which structures are made with natural and sustainable materials, she bought a Chevy Silverado 4x4 truck for hauling materials. “It’s not very environmentally friendly,” she admits, “but I use it to build environmentally friendly things.” Right now she’s designing and installing an outdoor labyrinth for a homeowner in West Knoxville. Most vintage clothing collectors have a particular “holy grail” that they look for each and every time they enter a store, and Dalton is no exception. She’s partial to “belt buckles, jackets, vests and slacks,” but she’s always on the lookout for a specific item: a pair of John Lobb brogues – comfortable shoes worn by the fiercely independent Katharine Hepburn, who famously brushed off criticism of her “masculine” attire, including her footwear. In fact, Hepburn is Dalton’s style icon. “We share the same birthday,” she says,

Amanda Dalton shows off her favorite vintage purchase of all time: a handmade leather vest.

“and I claim that!” The cost for a pair of new John Lobb shoes these days can run to five figures, so Dalton is smart to look for a previously-loved pair. And what about that Oshwahkon vest? She’s tried to find it online. “I’m pretty good at Googling,” she says, “but I cannot find this exact vest. Every one I find has something different about it – the same cut but the wrong buttons. The same cut and buttons but the wrong color.” Which could make hers a one-of-a-kind item made for who knows which hair-flinging ’70s rock star. Dalton speaks of her Natural Building projects as “yet another way for me to revitalize and integrate beautiful pieces of history into the present and hopefully into art in the process.” The same is true of her unique wardrobe. Hurrah for vintage style!

McKee will premiere a large, unprecedented work entitled “The Manifest” which explores the suppression of artistic individuality and free thinking by a single-minded order. A large collaborative effort, McKee commissioned both Andre Hayter to compose the music score and the Bearden High School Art Honors Society to create artwork. “The Manifest” is a visual exploration of the effect of communism on both artists and society, layering dance, music and art to make a statement. “We have had great conversations in rehearsals, and the choreographic process has been very rich for all of us. This piece is full of both beauty and ugliness and is saturated with thought. “The Manifest” is what our audiences expect from us!” Other works presented will display GO!’s extreme diversity from “A Different Time,” an exploration into the Appalachian coal mining community to “Convergent Boundaries,” a study of plate tectonics. GO! will also perform three separate ballets: “Opus 6,” “City Suites” and “Sixes” which have strong classical ballet elements with a twist of contemporary movement. “Skin of The

Earth,” a work commissioned from UK choreographer Rebecca Evans in 2012, will also be performed. In February GO! will surpass all expectations from its audience by presenting “The Shadows of Pine Mountain,” an exploration of the Scots-Irish exodus from Ulster to the Appalachian mountains. “GO! is always searching for historical subject matter. We love to incorporate different dance genres into our choreography. Highland and Irish dance are so athletic and have such history. Crossing elements of those historical dance forms with our contemporary choreography will give depth and brilliance while demonstrating cultural truth. We are going to dig deep with this one. We want our audience to see the origins, struggles and victories of the Appalachian people. This is part of our culture today and is so close to home. It will have great meaning to our community.” GO! is also excited about its collaboration with the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra’s Clayton Holiday Concerts, Young People’s Concerts, and Very Young People’s Concerts. GO! will also perform at the Rossini Festival in April.

A local nonprofit dance company, GO! is known for daring, innovative and adventurous choreography that merges and defies the boundaries of classical ballet, contemporary and aerial dance. GO! consists of 45 dancers, ages 12 through professional, with both guest and local core choreographers, representing a superlative ensemble of choreographic virtuosity and versatility. GO! will host an evening of support, Dancetasia, Fri., Sept. 18, at the Foundry. Tickets are $80 and include a fabulous dinner, silent and live auction, and performance, including excerpts of GO!’s newest works. GO! is a 501c(3) nonprofit organization whose mission is to elevate enthusiasm in the East Tennessee area while providing youth the opportunity to express artistry through dance. GO! is sponsored in part by Tennessee Arts Commission, Pilot Corp, Cathey and Co., WUOT 91.9fm and Sheri Good, Gables and Gates Realtors.

Studio Arts For Dancers celebrates its 25th anniversary serving the Knoxville community Studio Arts for Dancers is celebrating its 25th season of dance instruction in the Knoxville community. Founded in 1990 by Lisa Hall McKee, STUDIO ARTS’ artistic director and staff have inﬂuenced thousands of children with their commitment to develop both artistry and technical excellence in their students. “Dance is for everybody,” McKee says. Our philosophy is to teach it correctly and motivate our students to love dance and the work that it entails. Each individual is different and we encourage our dancers to celebrate that, ﬁnd out what their body is capable of and achieve it without worrying about where their peers are. Dance is an

individual sport taught in a group environment.” STUDIO ARTS for Dancers offers classes in pre-ballet, ballet, pointe, repertoire, modern, contemporary, Horton, jazz and tap. Classes are offered for pre-school age three through pre-professional and have added to their curriculum an adult program including yoga, ballet ﬁtness and Zumba. “Our adult classes are taught by our teaching staff. There are so many advantages to taking adult classes from dancers: better explanation, a deeper understanding of body mechanics and encouragement by dancers who understand strengths and weaknesses in the body.” Following a speciﬁc syllabus, McKee ensures all students learn ballet history, anatomy and terminology. “It doesn’t matter to me that they take dance as a recreation. I still want them to learn dance correctly and love it. It is a discipline that is a life skill. I love it when students come

back as adults (sometimes with their own children) and tell me how important the work ethic and respect they learned at the studio has been to their lives. It makes what we do here have meaning.” With a current enrollment of 350 students and a 5000 square foot hightech facility with video observation in all three studios, STUDIO ARTS currently has 10 teachers on staff and continues to host prestigious teachers and choreographers from all over the US to work with its students. Many of McKee’s students have been accepted to prestigious summer dance programs including Tennessee Governor’s School of the Arts, Joffrey Ballet, American Ballet Theatre, Jacobs Pillow and others. Others have been awarded acceptance to prestigious collegiate dance programs and many STUDIO ARTS dancers have continued on to professional performance careers. “What is great and unique about

our program is that we have a highly qualiﬁed and diverse staff which ensures correct, safe and creative teaching methods no matter what the level or aspirations of each student. We are dance educators.” “So many dancers have entered

our doors over the last 25 years, and I am thankful for each one of them. It is an honor and a blessing to contribute to the development of our youth. Although our lobby is busier and our classes are larger and there are much more of them, we invest our all in every dancer, every class. It is a beautiful thing.” STUDIO ARTS for Dancers performs annually at the historic Tennessee Theatre and is the home of GO! Contemporary Dance Works, a nonproﬁt youth dance company which blends contemporary ballet, modern, aerial arts and culturally inﬂuenced dance forms. It’s not too late to register for classes. Classes that began in August will culminate with the spring concert at the Tennessee Theatre in May. www.studioartsfordancers.net office@studioartsfordancers.net 865.539.2475
