Miracle Makers Inskip Elementary’s reading scores soared last year, catching everybody’s attention and leading to an appropriation of $3 million to replicate the program in nine other schools. Inskip was one of five elementary schools to pilot the first-grade reading intervention program. In one year, it is credited with moving the proficiency in reading score at Inskip from 27.7 percent to 98.9 percent.

Pre-school in-service classes focus on educational needs By Betsy Pickle It doesn’t just take a village to raise a child. It takes an educated village, beginning with preschool. That’s why teachers are so excited about the Preschool In-Service Training Program at Smart Toys & Books, 9700 Kingston Pike in Franklin Square. The wide-ranging program, now in its third year, brings preschool teachers together with proven experts to keep them at the forefront of pertinent and professional teaching practices. Wanda Mooney, director of Cedar Springs Weekday School, was one of the first people Smart Toys & Books owner Lynda Blankenship turned to for advice when she was considering creating the in-service program. Mooney recalls that Blankenship wanted to know, first, what teachers needed and, second, who were the professionals in the community who would best lead the training sessions. “They just did a wonderful job putting these ideas together, then getting it approved through the

departments of Education and Human Services, who are over all in-service for all of Knoxville’s preschool teachers,” says Mooney. “And it just took off. They didn’t know if it would or not, but it did.” There are 36 primarily faithbased preschools, the majority of them in West Knoxville, making use of the Smart Toys program. Preschool teachers are required to take 18 hours of in-service training accredited by the state. In addition to obtaining state approval, Smart Toys works closely with the Knox Area Association for the Education of Young Children. The program has included “everything from potty training to how to keep children safe in a group atmosphere, health-wise, to how to teach young children numbers,” says Mooney. The class leaders could be pediatricians, music teachers, teachers from Montessori schools or other professionals, but the emphasis is always on providing as much information as possible in a twohour session. “Sometimes you go for training, and it’s just one subject, and it’s six hours long. You think the day is never going to end,” says Mooney.

Board sees ‘run’ on events for Nov. 3 By Suzanne Foree Neal It seems everyone is on the run in Farragut. In a fairly routine Board of Mayor and Aldermen meeting Thursday, the most discussion came on approval of a special event application by the Dream Connection for a 5K run/walk and a 1-mile fun run through parts of Farragut at 8 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 3. The discussion came when Alderman Bob Markli noted that the run is the same day as the annual Farragut Fall 5K Race, Fun Walk and Pet Parade, which was postponed from an earlier date. The Farragut Fall run also starts at 8 a.m. “I think that’s a shame,” said Markli. “Even I can’t run in two

“This is the best of the best coming out at all times, and teachers just can’t get enough.” Based on feedback from participants, the most beneficial programs are repeated in subsequent sessions and new classes are added. “My staff goes every time the doors open,” Mooney says of her 80 staffers. “They come back and give us tremendous feedback on whatever the topic is.” One of the favorites among Cedar Springs teachers is “How to Get a Child Ready for Kindergarten.” “(Smart Toys is) really good at that because they bring in kindergarten teachers … and tell you what’s happening this year in kindergarten, not what happened 20 years ago from someone who’s been in an office for a while,” says Mooney. “My staffers love the music classes. They love the ones on giving children quality literature. “Children think that unless something flashes or has lights or noise, it cannot be entertaining. And the most entertaining thing you will sit down and do with your child is to read a book. Nothing can take the place of that. Even a good preschool program.” In recent years, preschool’s Knoxville Volunteer Rescue Squad. The event will feature rescue vehicles from the Knoxville Volunteer Rescue Squad, Knoxville Fire Department, Knox County Sheriff’s Office, Karns and Seymour Volunteer Fire Departments, Rural/Metro Fire Department and the Tennessee Wildlife Resource Agency.

Evening of feasting and fun Taste of Farragut enjoys record crowds If you weren’t there, you really missed one of Farragut’s best events! A beautiful fall evening on Sept. 21 played perfect host to the 2012 Taste of Farragut in the parking lot in front of Farragut Wine & Spirits on Kingston Pike. Crowd estimates were coming in at 1,400-plus, and vendors were scrambling to make sure latecomers got a good “taste.”

Farragut” campaign that promotes Farragut businesses, said Allison Sousa, Farragut Business Alliance executive director. She praised the committee for putting the event together and said a big boost this year was more public awareness and selling tickets online. “Last year we sold 60 tickets in advance of the event,” said Sousa. “This year, we sold 600.” The committee for Taste of Farragut included Sousa, Robin and David Purvis, Yvonne Kidder, Sally Chapman and Carla Lyle.

Lines moved quickly, and there was always something delicious waiting at the next tent. Guests only had one problem: there were so many friends and neighbors to talk to that eating threatened to take a back seat! “I spent so much time visiting that I didn’t get to all the food booths I intended to,” said Noah Myers. “It was a great evening on every level.” The event is the major fundraiser for the Farragut Business Alliance, with funds to be directed to the “Shop

Anthony Hancock and Johnny Majors Photo by Betty Bean

Majors suits up for Hancock Anthony Hancock was the first player Johnny Majors signed to wear Tennessee orange, snatching him right out from under the nose of Woody Hayes on signing day. Both Majors and the legendary Ohio State coach were stalking the halls of Cleveland’s John Hay High school on the first day to sign National Letters of Intent in 1978. Hancock remembers it like it was yesterday. “The bell rang for third period, and down the left side of the hall you could see this giant guy, (6-8 OSU Lombardi Trophy winner John Hicks), and right next to him, this little bitty white guy, Coach Hayes. On the left side there were (Tennessee wide receivers coach) Bob Harrison and Johnny Majors. My athletic director didn’t allow either head coach to talk to me,” Hancock said. After school, his AD took Hancock to see his father in the hospital. Majors met him there, and he and his dad signed on with Tennessee. Except for the years when he played wide receiver for the Kansas City Chiefs, Hancock has been here ever since, working in public service-oriented jobs – as a small business development specialist for the state of Tennessee, for the Boy Scouts (where he helped 12 inner-city kids attain the rank of Eagle Scout), and now as a special education teacher at Bearden Elementary School who is deeply concerned about educational issues – from Headstart and school lunches (which he supports) to the Tennessee Virtual Academy (which he doesn’t). Hancock, a Democrat who lives in the West Hills

Betty Bean home he bought for his parents with his NFL money, is the underdog in the heavily Republican 18th District state House race. Majors, who weighed about 150 with rocks in his pockets when he signed on to play single wing tailback under Gen. Robert R. Neyland, knows something about being an underdog, and he’s standing with his player. The old coach gave a stem-winder of a speech in Hancock’s behalf at a West Knox fundraiser. He first said he is not anti-Republican. He liked Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush, but doesn’t think much of today’s ultra-conservatives. “I have been very disturbed for several years about the anger that the right wing has brought to the political scene,” he said. “You can look at cartoons going back to Jefferson’s days, and some of them are just dastardly. But the anger and greed of today’s right wing is unmatched. “Do you think I want the Tennessee legislature handling my Medicare? Give me some coupons to go shop for medical care? I don’t know how anybody who’s educated and has any common sense could vote for somebody like that crazy (Stacey) Campfield (a close ally of Hancock’s opponent, Steve Hall).” Majors praised Hancock as “a team man” who has led a life of service. “He is a man of great character and integrity who has done a lot of good for people. He was always ready when the whistle blew.”

Nobody enjoys school rezoning, but nobody likes school overcrowding. What to do? Knox County Schools will open a new elementary school for 1,200 kids in August 2013.

Martin leads Lakeshore negotiations Lakeshore Mental Health Institute off Lyons View Pike closed this summer after better than a century of service. Intense discussions are underway between the city and state for some 65 acres which may be added to Lakeshore Park. It is a major undertaking. Countless legal and financial questions must be answered, and the process is likely to last for months. Larry Martin, now a top Haslam aide in Nashville, is representing the state, while Deputy Mayor Eddie Mannis represents the city. Also involved are state commissioners Mark Cates and Mark Emkes; and city leaders Bill Lyons, Charles Swanson, Christi Branscom and Lee Miracle. No governor could be more familiar with this land, since Haslam’s home on Sherwood Drive is less than a mile away. His fam-

ily company, Pilot Flying J, gave one of the ball fields at Lakeshore. What funding, if any, comes with property for those buildings which will require demolition? The city wants some financial assistance for demolition and the state prefers to transfer the property with more limited financial aide. Martin knows the issue well. Another issue is how to use the historic administration building. What city offices, if any, might be housed there? What use will it have? The current building has some structural issues. The city already has 13

empty buildings transferred more than a year ago for which a decision on use or demolition must be made. This is great news for park advocates in that the land will remain in public hands and be added to the city’s inventory to make Lakeshore an even greater park for all Knoxvillians to enjoy. Despite the significant costs associated with the transfer, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity for the city. For me personally, it is exciting to see the original acquisition, which I pushed with help from Jimmy Haslam, Caesar Stair and Tom McAdams going back to the early 1990s with the late Gov. Ned McWherter’s support, expanding and reaching its full potential for public recreational use. In my view, it is appropriate for the state to assist in the cost of demolition of

buildings which the state built years ago. ■ Duane and Marsha Grieve have returned from a two-week trip to China, visiting Beijing and Xien among other cities.

TALES OF TENNESSEE | Marvin West

he Tennessee cross-country family is celebrating the historic NCAA championship of 40 years ago. Oh, the joy of triumphant recollections, tall tales, monstrous exaggerations and bare-faced lies. In this case, 70 or more old Vols could do or say whatever they chose. It was their show. The university athletic department, in the financial arrears, could not feed the multitude, not at Calhounâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on the River. Best I can tell, crosscountry running has been and remains an almost private enterprise. Through the decades, there were very few witnesses and almost no applause. Races happened and virtually nobody noticed. The band did not play. There were no requests for autographs. The persistent might have found a short story if the newspaper had one. Cross-country appears simple enough. Lean, dedicated, determined people stride six miles or so around a golf course or perhaps over hill and vale and back to the starting point. If winning is important, all it takes is all youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got. Some who ran, Frankie Albertson for example, tell me it is a tough game. No intermission, no timeouts, no substitutions and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let the guy in front get too far ahead. In the grand and colorful sports history of the University of Tennessee, distance runners have won that one national title. It happened in Houston, Glenbrook golf course, Nov. 20, 1972, damp, dreary day, temperature in the 40s. Stan Huntsman was the proud coach. Doug Brown, Roberto Lenarduzzi, Danny Zoeller, John Angel and Ron Addison carried the colors in what was probably a thrilling upset of East Tennessee State. I missed it. I was doing football. I do know the Bucs were logical favorites. Coach David Walker had imported the Irish brigade. Neil Cusack, born in Limerick, came through as projected. He won the individual championship. Brown ran a few seconds behind but a few seconds in front of another Irishman, Eddie Leddy. Patrick Leddy was in the general vicinity.

Low score wins in crosscountry, determined by the finish of the best five runners representing a school. Tennessee totaled 134 points. ETSU was assessed 148. Oregon was handicapped. Steve Prefontaine skipped the meet. We got a few quotes from Huntsman: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every coach in the country dreams of a national championship and suddenly we have one. That was the biggest day in my coaching life. I am extremely proud of these men. They worked. They deserved to win.â&#x20AC;? Huntsman said he got the feeling with a couple of miles to go that the Vols were in the hunt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A coach canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see much of the race but you can

pick out teams you think are competitive and look for their fifth man. At four miles, a lot of teams were out of business.â&#x20AC;? Some runners fold under pressure. Some sprint at the wrong time, when they should maintain a steady pace. Now and then, one falls and three trip over him. Brown had a strong closing kick. Angel, from Farragut High, gave great effort. Addison, left behind at the motel when the team went to the golf course, caught a bus and arrived in plenty of time to grab that crucial fifth scoring spot for the Vols. Cheers for the champs. Marvin West invites reader reaction. His address is westwest6@netzeo.com

here is a difference between happiness and joy. The dictionary struggles to make the distinction, sometimes using the one term to define the other. Lara cries, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lord, what joy!â&#x20AC;? when she learns that Zhivago is still alive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Joy to the world,â&#x20AC;? the hymn declares. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Lord is come!â&#x20AC;? If happiness is lemonade, then joy is champagne. Happiness is a smile; joy is a shriek of laughter. And de Chardin assures us that joy is Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trademark, Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s signature, the surest sign of Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presence. So why are there so many grumpy religious folks? Have they not read the memo? Have they not heard the Good News? What is the message we send the world when Christians canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be gracious â&#x20AC;&#x201C; full of grace â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with each other? If faith, and by association joy, were conta-

gious, would there be an epidemic in your neighborhood, or would your neighbors be safe? And more to the point, does Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presence create joy? Or is God drawn to joy wherever God finds it, because joy is Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s native tongue? I sometimes ponder Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s activity in creation. Imagine dreaming up waterfalls and hummingbirds, starfish and puppies, ocean waves and grizzly bears! I wonder if God said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wow, what would happen if I â&#x20AC;Ś?â&#x20AC;? and then clapped His hands and the Orion nebula appeared? Did God laugh? Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presence â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s joy â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gift to us, if we can but open our hearts and eyes and minds to it. Even on the bleakest of our days, the sun comes up (maybe covered by clouds, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s there!), another day dawns, the earth spins, a mother sings, and somewhere a baby laughs.

My theology has been shaped and molded by music all my life. (That may be true of all of us: the adage says â&#x20AC;&#x153;The faith we sing is the faith we believe,â&#x20AC;? which is why I try to choose hymns carefully!) It is Mark Hayesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; anthem â&#x20AC;&#x153;And the Father Will Danceâ&#x20AC;? (a setting of the Zephaniah text quoted above) that is for me the most exuberant expression of Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s joy in creation: â&#x20AC;&#x153;And the Father will dance as on a day of joy; He will exult over you and renew you by His love.â&#x20AC;? The music dances and lilts and skips and twirls, and I can almost see the Almighty bending to paint a flower and pat a puppy; I can see Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great hand reaching to snatch a star out of the heavens and toss it to a child like a ball. Teilhard de Chardin was right! Joy â&#x20AC;&#x201C; wherever it bubbles up â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is the infallible sign of the presence of God!

Coffee Break with

3) Visit all of our friends before it’s too late

What is one word others often use to describe you? I have been blessed in my career and was taught by my parents to always give back, so I think my friends would describe me as “Giving.”

If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? I would like to be more patient.

What is your passion? Doing things right the first time. I detest having to do things over again.

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

Richard Maples

Richard Maples certainly has enough successful business ventures on his resumé to generate the question, “What’s your game plan for success?” His modest answer is always the same: “I have been blessed with good luck and a love of working hard.” The entrepreneur, who spent much of his career as executive vice president of Averitt Express and Service Transport, is now a partner in Kinzel Springs residential development in Townsend, Log Homes of the Smokies, Smoky Mountain Realty Century 21 and Spanish Fork Properties in Utah. Last week he was reappointed to the board of commissioners of First Utility District, a position he has held since 2004. Born and raised in West Knoxville, the now-Farragut resident graduated from Bearden High School and completed his undergraduate degree in logistics and transportation at the University of Tennessee. He married his high school sweetheart, Joni Baker. Maples says he is both honored and proud to be a part of the First Utility District board. “We need a good public relations push to get the word out because First Utility is a well-run asset to the communities it serves,” says Maples. “Our rates are considerably lower than the surrounding areas, and good management is a key to that. We are the only district in this area that is not under a state mandate to fi x or upgrade something in our service area. That is because we have stayed on top of things and are ahead of the curve.” Maples’ longtime career with Averitt Express started just a few years out of college. The owner of the company knew Maples and was making big changes. “When I went to work with Averitt as vice president of sales and marketing, we had two trucks and three trailers. Today, it is one of the country’s leaders in freight transportation and supply chain management. When I left, after a great 15 years, the company had grown to a $400 million business.” Maples will agree that a look at his career puts him in the category of “entrepreneur,” something he finds a bit perplexing. “I love what I do and love the entrepreneurial aspect of starting companies and being part of a company’s beginnings. And there is always the aspect of a gamble in that. But I am very conservative, which makes it an interesting combination!” The key, says Maples, is his approach. “I work hard, and I put a lot of confidence in the people around me. No

My father, who was my best friend until his death.

Other than your parents, who has had the biggest influence on your life? My wife, Joni. She is a wonderful mother, grandmother and friend. Plus she has put up with me for 40 years.

I still can’t quite get the hang of … Internet technology. I am old school and can’t quite get it.

What is the best present you ever received in a box? A portrait of my children and grandchildren.

What is the best advice you mother ever gave you? entrepreneur is successful without good people around him or her. I look for those good people and work to bring them on board. That makes it easy to love my job.” Sit and have a Coffee Break as you get to know Richard Maples.

A cellphone. I finally learned to text about a year ago after I was shamed into it by a friend.

What is your favorite quote from TV or a movie?

What is the worst job you have ever had?

Clint Eastwood – “Go ahead, make my day.”

What is your social media of choice?

It was substitute teaching in a junior high school while I was interviewing for jobs after graduating from UT. I was very happy when one came along.

What are you guilty of? Working too hard.

What was your favorite Saturday morning cartoon?

What is your favorite material possession? A shadowbox of my father’s military possessions given to me by my children.

It’s not a cartoon, but “Andy Griffith” is my all-time favorite show.

What are you currently reading?

What irritates you? People who forget where they came from.

“That Used to be Us,” by Thomas L. Friedman.

What’s one place in Farragut everyone should visit?

What was your most embarrassing moment? I was out visiting a customer once who had two dogs. He said they were gentle as lambs, and they were, while we stood there and talked. As I turned around to leave, one of them jumped up and bit me right on my buttocks. Of course, once my friend Sandy Reagan got me to the emergency room, the check-in nurse had to ask “where” I was bitten. It hurt like everything, so I blurted out, “right in the ass.” The whole emergency room got a good laugh.

What are the top three things on your bucket list?

Sam & Andy’s. We have been going there for years and still love the place.

What is your greatest fear? Fire.

If you could do one impulsive thing, what would it be? Get in the car with my family and travel all over the United States for two or three months. – Sherri Gardner Howell It can be your neighbor, club leader, bridge partner, boss, father, teacher – anyone you think would be interesting to Karns/Hardin Valley Shopper-News readers.

Mentoring program knows no age limit By Suzanne Foree Neal When you’re struggling, it can be a saving grace to have a helping hand. Cokesbury United Methodist Church is reaching out to help truant students but has found it isn’t only a juvenile problem. Truancy is a family issue. Anna Lee, director of outreach ministries for the West Knoxville church, says the Hope Initiative grew to help families struggling to cope with life. Initiated about six years ago to alleviate problems stemming from job loss, incarceration and disability, the group found the common thread was financial struggles. “We decided to take a holistic approach,” she explains. “Children get one-on-one tutoring and every adult goes through a six-semester Bible

students busy, they work on skill-building activities, then play educational games. Sarah Beshaw, 10, credits her tutor, Mary Fechter, with helping her improve her school performance. Math and reading are hard subjects for her, but after help from Fechter she’s seen a “big improvement” in her grades. Adults who stay in the program successfully for three years can become mentors. Lee points to one success story. “We have a single mom who was divorced with English as a second language,” Lee says. “Now she has a good job, and she and her teenage daughter come to help.” Maria Cervera, who has a 7-year-old son, Jameel, is one who hopes to help others after attending for four years.

study that also includes life skills and a one-on-one adult to help them. We offer a community of support around these families.” With a volunteer force of 80 to 100 people, the church has space to serve 30 families a semester. At 6 p.m. Tuesdays during the school year, families are greeted by volunteers and then eat dinner. Adults dine by themselves, students with their tutors and preschoolers in the nursery. “We model what it would look like to have a healthy dinner at home,” Lee says. At 6:35 p.m., children start their homework and adults go to Bible study. Pre-K students participate in a program to help them master skills needed for school. If there’s not enough homework to keep

Remembering Coach By Sara Barrett The alumni of Farragut Middle School lost one of their great leaders last week when former physical education coach Herman Poindexter passed away. Although he left Farragut Middle a number of years ago and went on to teach – and preach – in other parts of town, coach Poindexter will always be remembered by former students for his

signature Farragut cheer. I can see him now as we all ran laps around the gym and he ran next to us facing backward so he could see our faces … Coach: “Who are we?”

Farragut Middle School coach Herman Poindexter always greeted students with a big smile, even when asking us to run laps. Photo courtesy of Farragut Middle School’s 1989 Ship’s Log.

Kiley Scheetz helps Sean Capshaw, 4, with a preschool learning exercise Maria Cervera listens and takes notes during a session for parents. The topic was “Relationships With Others,” with volunteer leaders leading the discussion. She hopes to one day change her participant role to that of mentor.

“It changed my spiritual life,” she says. Cervera calls her son’s tutor “loving and a Godsend and a true blessing.” The program helped him prepare for school. The church has taken on a second program recently as part of Second Harvest Food Bank’s Food for Kids. Second Harvest provides healthy, ready-to-eat foods for children on Knox County’s free lunch program, but someone

has to pack the bags to distribute each Friday to participating students. Cokesbury has taken on the responsibility of packing the eight food items per targeted student at Maynard and Hardin Valley elementary schools. Wednesdays from 6:30-7 p.m., the church’s children gather at the community center and fill the bags for 40 students at Maynard

and 60 at Hardin Valley. “We pack small containers of milk, fruit, vegetables, granola bars, peanut butter crackers,” Lee says. “Some might be better microwaved to be the best, but all can be eaten right out of the package. We want to be sure kids get food over the weekends. We know they at least get breakfast and lunch through free programs during the week.”

Students: “Farragut!” Coach: “What have we got?” Students: “Guts!” Coach: “Where are we going?”

Students: “Far!” Only to be repeated in its entirety to his reply of “I can’t hear you!” We may not have wanted to admit it at the time,

but we heard his message loud and clear. He pushed us to be our best and in doing so showed us his best as a coach, teacher and mentor.

Sharing art with the world By Sara Barrett Farragut Intermediate School art teachers Christy Davis and Shari Moon have found a way to share student artwork with the world. Literally. Artsonia is an online art gallery where parents – and anyone, for that matter – can view artwork created by local kids and that of children from around the world.

This is the first year Farragut Intermediate School has used the site, and already family and friends of students are raving. “We have a student from France, and her family members there have already posted positive feedback about being able to see her work,” said Davis. In addition to being able to view the art, images can also be purchased on cof-

fee mugs, mouse pads, key chains and more. Artsonia will donate 20 percent of each purchase to the school’s art department. Davis said the website is not intended to be a source of fundraising, but the donation is an added advantage of purchasing a lasting piece of a child’s imagination. To view the online galleries, visit www.artsonia.com.

Inskip was one of five elementary schools to pilot the fi rst-grade reading intervention program. In one year, it is credited with moving the proficiency in reading score at Inskip from 27.7 percent to 98.9 percent. Principal Dr. Elisa Luna said the program works because teachers and students get on the same page. “Then we work hard, and just keep working.” At Friday’s ceremony, Tom Catani told the students that he has fi ve children who are all “big.” He moved the kids closer to him and read about Dexter, a small dog that was bullied by a bigger cat. “Everything about him was small, but his dreams.” Catani asked students if they have big dreams.

District Governor promotes theme of peace By Sherri Gardner Howell

Grey Kidwell lends a hand to “Belle” the macaw at Market Square. Photo by T. Edwards of TEPHOTOS.com

Macaw at Market Square By Theresa Edwards Belle is a macaw who enjoys socializing. She was greeting people at Market Square Farmers Market alwith owner Chris Connone. Belle was doing well, climbing onto the arm of those who offered it to her. “She prefers the left side,” Connone said when she would not go onto someone’s right arm. She perched on Connone’s

left side, until a hawk appeared in a tree above. She became disturbed, climbed up her owner’s left arm, across her back and onto her right shoulder. The hawk is a natural predator of macaws, but did not bother Belle with her owner present. Wild macaws use flight as a defense. With their long wings, they are very

powerful fliers, and their long tail gives them agility as they maneuver through the forest. They usually nest high in treetops to view approaching dangers, allowing them time to get away. However, being domesticated, Belle has had her wings clipped and depends on Connone to protect her. Belle is about 14 years old. Macaws can live to be 70.

NEWS FROM GRACE CHRISTIAN ACADEMY OF KNOXVILLE

Mayor visits history class

Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett visits with Susan Witt’s 7th grade class at Grace Christian Academy. They are: (front) Garrett Lay, Alex Seaver, Sarah McIntyre, Haley Rudl, Darby Flickinger, Grace Dotson, Sara Houff, AnnaKatherine Vance; (back) Susan Witt, Bryson Morris, Paxton Cherry, Jadon Tullock, Eric Beecham, Alex Row, Grant Ledford, Luciano Ganziano, Savannah Sponcia, Lauren Hickey, Austin Payne, William Wallace, Matthew Cleveland, Diego Carrasco, Noah Smith and Burchett.

By Shannon Morris Susan Witt’s 7th grade class at Grace Christian Academy’s Middle School was honored to receive a visit from Knox County mayor Tim Burchett Sept. 19. Burchett spoke to the students, not just about political issues, but also about his own life and calling into public service. Burchett said he was raised in a godly home, where values that are important for society were instilled at a foundational level. His

interest in politics was sparked by these values, and the fact that he perceived a lack of integrity in local government. As a Knoxville native, Burchett felt that he could make a difference in the lives of his fellow Knoxvillians, encouraging them to take ownership in their communities and to work together to make our city a better place for all to live. In addition, Burchett spoke of the importance of making wise choices in life that will make a difference in the future.

Witt’s class was excited to have Knox County’s mayor pay them a personal visit, and they were challenged by his words of encouragement. We want to thank mayor Tim Burchett for taking time from his schedule to invest in the lives of our 7th grade students, and for reminding them that we all need to work in cooperation to make Knoxville one of the best cities in Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett greets Grace Christian Academy 7th grade teacher Susan Witt.

Student wins some bling By Shannon Morris Josten’s, a provider of class rings, graduation supplies and other items that bring school memories, hosted a special competition for the Grace Christian Academy junior class this year, with the prize being a free class ring. Each 11th grade student was invited to go online to Josten’s website and design his or her own class ring. They were en-

couraged to do this more than once, as each design provided another entry into the contest, thus increasing the chances to win. After the results were in, one lucky Grace junior came away with a brand new class ring of his own. Heath Hatmaker is now walking the halls of Grace sporting a ﬂashy new keepsake that will last him a lifetime. Congratulations, Heath!

Homecoming on the horizon Homecoming is always one of the highlights of the school year. It is a time when former students can return to the place where they created so many memories, and to renew old acquaintances. It’s no different at Grace Christian Academy, as faculty and students past and present look forward to Friday, Oct. 5, for the annual celebration. The GCA football team will take on the Tellico Plains Bears that evening, and at halftime, the Homecoming Court will be presented and one young lady will be crowned Homecoming Queen.

Last week, the GCA student body nominated and elected their class representatives for the Homecoming court. The high school grades select one female student each to represent their fellow students, and the senior class chooses three young ladies. The court is made up of all six of these princesses, and each will participate in the halftime activities during Homecoming. One of the three senior ladies will be crowned our 2012 Homecoming queen that night. Being selected to the GCA Homecoming Court is a high honor for these ladies. Each of these girls are chosen by the

strong qualities they exhibit, including having good character, high integrity, school spirit, a solid grade point average and an overall love for our school. This year’s nominees are: freshman, Amanda Stooksbury; sophomore, Morgan Cleveland; junior, Brittany Lane; seniors, Leeanna Palmer, Elizabeth Seal and Madison Taylor. Along with naming the Homecoming Queen, all GCA alumni are treated to special recognition at halftime. We truly treasure all of the students who have been a part of the Grace family, and we love seeing all of them on this special night.

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES

Routine screening allowed early detection for woman with known breast cancer risk factors Maggie Watkins has had annual mammograms for more than 20 years. She knew it was necessary for her to be very diligent about screenings because her mother and mother’s sister both had breast cancer, but Maggie never had an abnormal result until this past June. “I went for my routine mammogram on May 7,” Watkins said. “It showed some changes from last year, so they brought me back about 10 days later for a follow up. That screening showed some abnormal spots, but they looked like just calciﬁcations. A breast biopsy was scheduled for June 6 just to make sure.” Watkins had a trip planned to attend a nursing conference May 17-23 as part of a recent honor she had received at work, the Parkwest Clinical Excellence Award for the Endoscopy Department. Because the spots didn’t look like cancerous

tumors on the mammogram, she was permitted to travel, so she did. On June 7, the day after the biopsy, Watkins got the dreaded news: she had cancer. Since that time, her life has become a whirlwind of genetic testing, various scans and chemotherapy. Despite it all, Maggie has a positive outlook. “Everyone at Parkwest has been so supportive,” said Maggie. “My manager allows me to work around my treatments and my co-workers have organized the walk team and even made me cute scarves to wear since I’ve lost my hair. I couldn’t ask for a better group of people. It’s made my journey so much easier.” “The way I look at it, the sicker I feel now, the more the medicines are working to kill the cancer,” she said. To celebrate the completion of chemotherapy, she and several co-workers from Parkwest are

participating as “Team Maggie” in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure on Oct. 27. What comes after that, she’s not quite sure. Watkins will meet with her oncologist, Dr. Daniel Ibach, and her surgeon, Dr. Heath Many, to discuss the best plan for getting her back to a normal life. Watkins’ MRI on Sept. 12 showed no cancer cells remaining. “I am a survivor due to a lot of prayers and God’s grace,” said Watkins. “I hope my story assures others that miracles do happen with prayers and faith.”

Parkwest Comprehensive Breast Center is ACR Accredited What does this mean to you? The Parkwest Comprehensive Breast Center provides a single-setting for medical expertise, education, individualized treatment planning, and ongoing support for breast healthcare. The center is an accredited American College of Radiology Breast Center of Excellence. As a patientt this accreditation means: ■ Parkwest Comprehensive Breast Center has voluntarily undergone a rigorous review process to ensure its ser vices meet nationally accepted standards. ■ Personnel have the education and certification to perform and interpret

medical images. ■ Parkwest has demonstrated excellence in breast imaging by obtaining accreditation in mammography, stereotactic breast biopsy, breast ultrasound and ultrasoundguided breast biopsy.

Just the (breast cancer) facts, ma’am What is breast cancer? Breast cancer forms in the cells of the breasts. Of the numerous types of breast cancer, ductal carcinoma (cancer that begins in the milk ducts) is the most common. Breast cancer is the second most common cancer diagnosed in America, affecting 1 in 3 women. Only skin cancer is more prevalent. Women are more likely to have breast cancer, but men can get it, too. What are the signs and symptoms? When the cancer tumor is small and most treatable, there are typically no symptoms. That’s why it is important for women to follow recommended screening guidelines, such as monthly breast selfexams and an annual mammogram. Signs and symptoms of advancing breast cancer may include:

■ A breast lump or thickening that feels different from the surrounding tissue ■ Bloody discharge from the nipple ■ Change in the size or shape of a breast ■ Changes to the skin over the breast, such as dimpling, redness or pitting (like the skin of an orange) ■ Inverted nipple ■ Peeling, scaling or ﬂaking of the nipple or breast skin When should I see my doctor? See your doctor if you ﬁnd a lump or any other change in your breast – even if you’ve just had a mammogram with normal results. What are the risk factors? Breast

cancer risk factors include: ■ Being female. ■ Increasing age. Women older than 55 have a greater risk. ■ A personal history. If you’ve had breast cancer in one breast, you have an increased risk of developing cancer in the other breast. ■ A family history. If you have a mother, sister or daughter with breast cancer, you have a greater chance of being diagnosed. ■ Inherited genes. The most common gene mutations are referred to as BRCA1 and BRCA2. These genes can greatly increase your risk of breast cancer

and other cancers, but they don’t make cancer inevitable. ■ Radiation exposure. If you received radiation treatments to your chest as a child or young adult, you’re more likely to develop breast cancer later in life. ■ Obesity. ■ Beginning your period before age 12. ■ Beginning menopause after age 55. ■ Having your ﬁrst child after age 35. ■ Postmenopausal hormone therapy. (Medications that combine estrogen and progesterone) ■ Drinking alcohol. Experts recommend no more than one alcoholic beverage a day for women.

NEWS FROM PROVISION HEALTH & WELLNESS

CLEAN up WHOLE

Attention to the food your consume can lead to fewer drugs in your medicine cabinet, says Casey Peer. “Good food really does equal great medicine.” Peer, a Registered Dietitian and chief dietitian at Provision Health & Wellness, is launching a four-part series called “CLEAN up your WHOLE plate” to Casey Peer explain the relationship between what we eat and good health. “Many foods we eat today are fake,” she says. It’s not that some diabolical force set out to poison us. Instead, the push toward convenience foods has introduced chemicals and preservatives that the human body

was never meant to digest. Casey says it’s as if our body speaks English while the foods we ingest are multi-lingual. This “misinformation” can lead to conditions that set up inﬂammation, high blood pressure and diabetes. In some cases, it can result in cancer, heart disease and dementia. In all cases, it leads to an inability to lose weight. When we eat an apple or whole grain, that food speaks the same language as our body. But what happens when we take those natural foods to a factory? The foods are pulled apart and then reconstituted with additives to “enrich” and make them easier to prepare. Another part of the factory designs an attractive package, often with a label touting the health beneﬁts of the processed food. So when we walk through a grocery store, we’re

Feeling overwhelmed by all the mixed messages out there about food? Frustrated and just wanting to ﬁgure out what works for you? Every person’s body is unique. Each of us have a different biochemistry that determines how our bodies use food and what food we like and don’t like. Ultimately, our bodies are communicating with us all the time, and our job is to listen, identify what they’re asking for, and respond appropriately. We work with people who are sick and tired of feeling sick and tired - be that chronic headaches, digestive upset, low energy levels, extra weight, or generally not feeling good. Together, we’ll unravel the complexity around food, listen to your body’s signals, and give it what it needs to heal itself, shed pounds, and truly thrive!

bombarded with packages that shout for attention. And to make those foods last longer on the shelves, preservatives are added. To make the foods more attractive, the factory adds food coloring. Cereal marketing is a great example, says Casey. “Even with oats there is a hierarchy. The best choice is steel-cut oats. The less the food is processed, the better it is. Yet consumers are confused with competing packages claiming health beneﬁts. “Your body is an Englishspeaking factory, trying to process multilingual food products. “And fake foods don’t contain the nutrients our bodies need. Sometimes they are missing lots of nutrients.” So the “CLEAN up your WHOLE plate” series is designed to show how foods im-

your pact a person’s overall health. Each one-hour class will tackle a speciﬁc topic such as: ■ The truth about organic produce ■ The importance of organic animal products ■ What am I eating? ■ Where to begin “Don’t let this be overwhelming,” Casey advises. “Take baby steps and before you know it, you’ve covered

some ground. Over time you will see tremendous change. You don’t want to look back three months from now and say, ‘If only I had started this three months ago.’ “We often sit around and complain about the same things. Just make a small change to move closer to the person you want to be. “Do something!” Classes start Oct. 25. Call 232-1414 to reserve a spot.

Komen Knoxville saves lives, funds research

ane B Brannon rannon take takes kess th the fight against breast fight cancer personally. The executive director of Komen Knoxville is an 11-year breast cancer survivor herself. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You get a new normal,â&#x20AC;? she says of her diagnosis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never the same.â&#x20AC;? The fight against the disease even changed B r a n n o n â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s professional t r aje c tor y. Two years after her diagnosis, she was on Komen Jane Brannon Knoxvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s board, and when the executive director position opened up, she left her marketing job to come aboard. Her goals now mirror the organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s: to promote early breast cancer detec-

tion tio ti on and nd to to provide provid ide ffundunding for screenings. Last year, funding from Komen Knoxville provided screenings that found 43 breast cancers in the 16 counties it serves. Komen Knoxville is the local affi liate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure. It was launched when local psychologist Renee Repka organized the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first Race for the Cure in 1997. One thousand participants were expected, but more than 2,000 showed up for the 5k run/walk. The Knoxville affi liate was incorporated as a nonprofit in 1999. More than 11,000 participated in the Komen Knoxville Race for the Cure last year. Around 85 percent of the local organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual revenue comes from race proceeds, says Brannon. The race not

only raises funds f unds d â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it raises raiises awareness. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody learns from the race, not just the runners,â&#x20AC;? she says. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s race is Saturday, Oct. 27. Awareness is important, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the next step â&#x20AC;&#x201C; action â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that trips many women up. Even affluent, educated women in Tennessee still struggle with talking about breast cancer openly, says Brannon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We fight against the mores of the region.â&#x20AC;? Focus groups have shown that African-American women are particularly slow to get screened for breast cancer. Many of them view sickness as a sign of weakness. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important that all women understand that outcomes are generally good for those who are di-

Lifesaving tips from Susan G. Komen for the Cure

â&#x2013; Know your risk by learning about your family health history and talking to your health care provider about your own personal risk. â&#x2013; Ask your doctor which screening tests are right for you if you are at a higher risk. Get screened by having a mammogram every year starting at age 40 if you are at average risk. Have a clinical breast exam at least every three years starting at age 20 and every year starting at age 40. â&#x2013; Know what is normal for you and report any changes to your health care provider right away. â&#x2013; Make healthy lifestyle choices that may reduce your risk of breast cancer.

agnosed early, she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you are screened early, you have a 99 percent chance of long-term survival.â&#x20AC;? Many of the women in Komen Knoxvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s service area donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have access to affordable health care and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have transportation. And while Knox County has several screening and treatment facilities, many surrounding counties do not. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where Komen Knoxville comes in. The affi liate has provided $4.2 million in community grants since it began. Grant requests are reviewed by an independent committee of community partners, which bases decisions on a bi-annual needs assessment. One recent grant recipient is the Dayspring Family Health Center in Jellico, Tenn., which provides breast health awareness and mammography screening to uninsured and underinsured women in Campbell County. The most encouraging news in the war on breast cancer is that treatment plans are now personalized based on the chance of recurrence. That means that fewer women are being

overtreated, Brannon says. The ultimate goal, of course, is a cure. Komen Knoxville has raised $1.6 million for breast cancer research. Susan G. Komen for the Cureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chief scientific adviser, Eric Winer, M.D., has said that he believes that, in his lifetime, breast

cancer will be treated as a chronic (controllable) disease, like diabetes. Until then, Komen Knoxville will continue to push for better care for Knox and surrounding counties. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve saved lives, brought hope and funded research for cures,â&#x20AC;? says Brannon.

Chase, a rescue thoroughbred from the track, is one of the 10 horses at Mane Support. “Chase is really intuitive,” Kim Henry said.

Mane Support:

Horses healing human hearts By Theresa Edwards Mane Support is a nonprofit counseling and support ministry that reaches out to children, adults and families faced with grief and loss caused by cancer. All activities are conducted on the ground. There is no riding. The program is located in Maryville at 2919 Davis Ford Road, but welcomes Knoxville residents as well. The founder and owner, Kim Henry, graduated from Karns High School and earned her master’s degree at UT. “Mane Support is one of the greatest God-given gifts I could have ever asked for,” said Henry. “We hope to provide a place that is safe where people can share their grief, which is a lifechanging process, not an

event. It’s about incorporating that loss back into life again. “The interaction and relationship people develop with the horses help. Horses have a great intuitiveness, enabling them to reflect back to us some feelings that people keep to themselves,” said Henry. For example, when someone is angry while saying they are not, the horse may be running around. “Horses are honest. They live life in the moment and don’t have an agenda,” she says. “They sense things about people.” Chase works especially well with people who do not have good boundaries, who are quiet, not expressing themselves. “He will get in their space,” Henry said. “For people who have lost their voice

metaphorically with the grief they feel, he’s really good in getting them to say they need help. He’s very intuitive.” The horses also give comfort to people. One person who is now a board member used to come in each week and brush Charlie Brown’s mane and cry. Finally, after about the fourth time, she revealed how she would stand and brush Charlie’s mane because it was the last thing she got to do for her daughter before she passed away, to brush her hair. Charlie is the oldest horse and very arthritic because he was a jumper. It’s very difficult for him to stand still. But he would stand perfectly still for the whole hour and let her brush his mane. “This speaks volumes to me

about what horses sense and what information they can give us,” said Henry. In addition to the use of horses, Mane Support also does creative arts expression, because not everyone grieves or communicates in the same way. “We try to find different means of communication, be it art, discussion, journaling or playing games,” Henry said. Mane Support has a variety of support groups. Family support night is 6-7:30 p.m. every Tuesday and includes dinner. Changing reins is a widows’ group meeting 5:306:30 p.m. Thursdays.

Donna Mara Hardy: Casting for Recovery

By Theresa Edwards Donna Mara Hardy was thrilled when she was chosen to participate in a Casting for Recovery retreat hosted by Petticoat Junction Retreat in Normandy, Tenn. “It’s so beautiful, like a place from out of a book” she said. “I really enjoyed just being with other breast cancer survivors from across the state. We all had a chance to tell our stories and talk about our struggles as well as our joys. It was fun. “I learned a lot about f ly fishing, working with a guide. We even learned how to tie f lies. It was like being a surgeon because it was such technical work. I also learned how to cast. It was a great chance to strengthen the muscles on my right side which were weak from the surgery. So the retreat was great for me both psychologically as well as physically,” Donna said. She has kept in touch with her new friends from the retreat via email. One

group from Nashville calls themselves the “Music City f ly-girls.” Donna keeps busy, although she retired in June from South-Doyle Middle School where she was the assistant principal. “It’s a whole different world,” she said. She volunteers with the Thompson Cancer Survival Center and the American Cancer Society. “South-Doyle was very supportive during my treatment,” she said. “Several of the teachers had T-shirts made, ‘Cherokees are survivors.’ It was a teachable moment for the students who would ask me questions. Some of the students and teachers gave me scarves. One boy gave me about 10 scarves. I probably have a scarf for every outfit.” Women of Wisdom support group has been helpful for issues she faced before, during and after treatments. Her energy levels changed, requiring more rest. She had to be careful of her diet with doctor’s supervision.

Someone at the WOW group gave her Robin Roberts’ book “Eight Rules to Live By.” Rule 7 meant the world to her, “Keep faith, family and friends close to your heart.” “Without my faith, without my family, without my friends, I would not have survived,” Donna said. “Someone was always looking out for me.” Donna has five sisters and three brothers. Her older brother, Audrey Hardy, had his church in Columbus, Ohio, involved. “I got a card in the mail every day,” she said. She has many supportive friends who stayed with her, encouraged her, watched out for her. Another quote from Roberts’ book that impacted her life was “Make your mess your message.” From that, Donna pondered “OK, what am I going to do with all of this?” Donna has shared her testimony to others, giving her message to the world, speaking at her church and other places.

“Cancer is a turning point. I realized it was time for me to do something different,” Donna said. She is now taking seminary classes and plans to go on a mission trip to Jamaica with her church group. “My slogan is: Work to inspire, not to retire,” she said. “You’re always growing, always learning.” For more information about the Casting for Recovery support group, visit www.CastingForRecovery. org.

Day-to-day joy By Cindy Taylor Angie Cook was diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer on Sept. 21, 2010. When she was given the news, her primary concern wasn’t for herself but for her family. With two children, Laura and Daniel, then 8 and 4 respectively, Cook’s first thought was about their care and how hard it would be for her husband, Tommy, if she couldn’t be there for them. “I wasn’t afraid of dying. I am very secure in my faith,” said Cook. “I was scared for my children because they were so young. I knew God would take care of them but that fear was my initial reaction.” Cook has a sister in Australia and her parents were visiting there when she was told about the cancer. For three weeks she had no female in her life that she could confide in while she waited for them to return to the states. “I couldn’t tell them or anyone here because I didn’t want to break the news while they were so far away or have them

hear it from someone else,” said Cook. “I confided in my husband and in Mike (Bundon) because I knew they would keep it private.” When her parents returned to their home in North Carolina, Cook still had to break the news by phone. They immediately came to help during Cook’s surgery. Two years later, Cook is now cancer free and looking to the future. She has worked at Beaver Dam Baptist Church for the past six years as music associate to former choir director Mike Bundon. With Bundon’s retirement in June, Cook has been moved to interim choir director but says that will not lead to a permanent position for her. With a master’s in music and a teaching background, she says her passion is for kids and children’s music. A Halls resident for the past 12 years, and with both children in Halls Elementary, Cook is hoping to achieve a position as a music teacher at the elementary school level.

Taylor Today, Cook is an energetic, thankful and joyful person who is f lourishing physically, emotionally, and in her family and career. She says she never takes the day-to-day things for granted. She cuddles with her children more often, kisses on them and makes sure to tell her husband of 15 years how much she loves

him as often as possible. “God is my solid rock. He has prepared me for this time in my life,” said Cook. “For me, getting up and leading the choir here is a miracle. I sometimes get weepy when we are singing because I realize how much God loves me and that He spared me. I know He still has a job for me to do.”

This was such a blessing to Judy that she was inspired to find a way to help other women diagnosed with the disease. “The pillow fits underneath my arm and helped me so much by taking the pressure off,” said Gray. “The Lord put it on my heart to provide this blessing to others, but I wasn’t quite sure how to begin.” Gray found out that in her small church, Irwins Chapel UMC, there were at least four other women who had been diagnosed with breast cancer. This is a huge percentage in a church that has an average attendance of 50. She made an announcement one Sunday that she would like to start a pillow ministry, and to her shock 10

wome women men n showed up p for for th the he first meeting. Gray had only bought 1 yard of material thinking that would be all that was needed. It was used very quickly. She then bought 7 yards of material and the group went through that as well. On one of her trips to UT Medical Center for treatment, Gray visited the boutique. Betty Collins, who runs the boutique, asked if the group might consider making the pillows to give to others who had undergone breast surgery. As the ministry continued to grow so did Gray’s cost. She was now buying entire bolts of cloth. “We are just a small church and I wasn’t sure how we were going to support this ministry,” said Gray. “Donations started coming in and we knew God wanted us to do this.” The group has grown in number and today most of the women in the church participate. To date they have made 990 pillows, all of which are given free of charge to anyone who requests them. The women get together and cut, sew and stuff between 50 and 70 pillows each session. They have breakfast

The women of Irwins Chapel UMC gather to make heart pillows to send out to breast cancer survivors around the U.S. Pictured are: (front) Judy Gray, Jan Harness, Sylvia Jardine, Pat Blackburn; (middle row) Veronica Griffey, Jerri Crews, Marty McConnaughey, Sue Shick, Marilyn Winquist, Carol Sharpe; (back) Sue Ross.

In breast cancer detection, the test matters in breast cancer detection by making mammograms more detailed and accurate.

Important facts every woman should know

Catching breast cancer early Studies show that when breast cancer is detected early the chance for successful treatment is nearly 100 percent. Mammograms are a critical component of a successful screening program. In fact, mammograms can identify an abnormal breast mass up to two years before it can be detected by touch. It’s for this reason that the American Cancer Society recommends every woman, every year, starting at the age of 40, get a mammogram.

One in eight American women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. However, early detection coupled with advanced treatment options has cut mortality rates by a third in the U.S. over the past 20 years. Today, a new breakthrough technology is poised to provide a dramatic improvement

Dr. Susan Curry, founder and medical director of the Women’s Center for Radiology in Orlando, says that 3D mammography makes a real difference in the center’s ability to diagnose patients with dense breasts and women with other high-risk factors.

A new imaging technology called 3D mammography or breast tomosynthesis is changing how doctors screen for breast cancer. This sophisticated technology significantly improves breast cancer screening by identifying small cancers that may have been missed by traditional mammography. If cancers are found when they are small, treatment options are generally less traumatic and the chance for a cure is greater. Another benefit of 3D mammography is its ability to reduce stress-inducing call backs. As many as one out of 10 women who have a routine screening mammogram will be asked to come back for additional tests. The majority of these women - up to 80 percent -

Special Sections MYFITNESS, 1/02 MyLIFE, 1/23 MYOUTDOORS, 2/27 MyPLACE, 4/02 MyKIDS, 5/07 MyOUTDOORS, 6/04 MyLIFE, 7/16 MYKIDS, 8/06 MyPLACE, 10/08 MyHOLIDAY, 11/12 MyHOLIDAY, 12/03 MyFITNESS, 12/31

will experience what’s called a false-positive which means that an area that looked suspicious on their screening mammogram turned out, upon further testing, to be normal.

3D mammography makes finding breast cancers easier Current mammography relies on a 2D image. However, this technology has its limits because the breast is a 3-dimensional object composed of different structures, such as blood vessels, milk ducts, fat, and ligaments. All of these structures, which are located at different heights within the breast, can overlap and cause confusion when viewed as a 2-dimensional, flat image. This confusion of overlapping tissue is a leading reason why small breast cancers may be missed and normal tissue may appear abnormal, leading to unnecessary call backs. Many doctors have reported that the introduction of Hologic’s Selenia Dimensions tomosynthesis system improves breast cancer detection by overcoming many of the limitations inherent in conventional 2D mammography. Although patients will notice little difference between a 2D and a 3D mammogram, the 3D technology gives doctors a clearer view through the overlapping structures of breast tissue. Reading a breast tomosynthesis exam is like flipping through the pages of a book to view one page at a time instead of seeing the whole breast reduced to a single frame, as is the case with conventional 2D mammography. The ability to look at each layer of breast tissue millimeter by millimeter allows doctors to identify individual structures in the breast free from the confusion of overlying tissue.

The bottom line Women should talk to their physician about the best screening program for them, based on their age, family history and medical profile. Women need to pay attention to any changes, such as unusual lumps, swelling, irritation, dimpling, or pain in the breast or nipple. Finally, women who are 40 and older should be sure to have a mammogram every year. – ARA

Free cancer resource guides help patients navigate cancer journey When Bar Barbara rba b ra a George’s Georg eo ge’ e’s friend and colleague in busii tthe he media busi ness was diagnosed with a recurrence of breast cancer 11 years ago, George volunteered to help her figure out her next steps. But what they did not find surprised them. “We thought, here we are as marketers and we’re having trouble finding needed resources in our community. What difficulties might others also be having?” says George of Kansas City, Mo. “We were looking for resources - like wig shops, local support groups and even local physicians - but finding them was proving to be time-consuming and unsuccessful. It was really frustrating.” The two women started researching local resources for people living with cancer. They felt

strongly that a compreh comprehensive, hens nsiiv ive, ive e, lolocal resource guide filled filled wi with canith can cer information for the newly diagnosed could truly help others on their cancer journey. They collaborated with George’s friend’s doctor at the University of Kansas Cancer Center to make this a reality. In 2001, George created Cancer Matters, a grassroots, communitybased initiative, aimed at tackling this information gap that faced individuals living with cancer and their loved ones. She developed the Cancer Matters Resource Guides, free booklets featuring a comprehensive listing of local cancerrelated businesses and services. Resources include cancer support groups, hospital services, home health and more. They also provide tips for the newly diagnosed and in-

formation on health and wellness. “The beauty of these guides is that they are local, comprehensive and were developed by someone who has walked in your shoes,” says George. “I am hopeful that in the future, we can bring Cancer Matters to all cities across the nation.” These comprehensive resource guides are available in 35 U.S. cities. The guides are updated and distributed annually to local hospitals, physician’s offices, nonprofit organizations and support groups. They are also available online at CancerMatters.com or by calling 913-3857332. Cancer Matters is supported by Lilly Oncology. Lilly Oncology does not control the content of the resource guides or website. – ARA
