By Wendy Smith The Farragut Board of Mayor and Aldermen voted to extend the contract with Redflex Traffic Systems to manage the town’s red light cameras for another three years. The original five-year con-
tract was due to expire in days. The amended agreement calls for Redflex to upgrade, maintain and repair equipment, and for the town to receive $15 from each citation, up from the previous $11.50 per citation.
Intersections monitored by cameras are Kingston Pike and Campbell Station Road, Kingston Pike and Concord Road, Kingston Pike and Smith Road and Campbell Station Road at Grigsby Chapel Road/Parkside Drive.
By Betty Bean James McMillan has been a high-profile, persistent critic of the way local government handles stormwater runoff issues, both city and county. Rarely has he doled out compliments. Last week, the Shannondale farmer broke form when he heard that Knox County has hired Tony Norman to a $28,000 per year part-time position as an NPDES (National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System) coordinator. “Tony will add a needed degree of honesty and integrity to Knox County’s engineering department, something they have had a very limited supply of, till now,” said McMillan. Norman started work Nov. 3, two months after completing two terms on County Commission, where he championed teachers who have been protesting Superintendent James McIntyre’s reform agenda. As a science teacher with
Knox County Schools for more than 30 years, he developed an awardwinning ecology class at Farragut and continued it at West High School, where he directed hands-on studies of Third Creek. As a commissioner, he spent more than three years chairTony Norman ing the controversial Joint City/County Task Force on Ridge, Slope and Hillside Development and Protection that developed new regulations to curb environmental damage done by developers. Predictably, the hire has raised eyebrows. Commissioner Sam McKenzie expressed his displeasure at a meeting last week, and there was grumbling that the former commission chair, who is widely expected to be a candidate for school board in 2016, is being “rewarded” for his persis-
tent opposition to McIntyre’s policies, an allegation that Engineering and Public Works Director Dwight Van de Vate said is unwarranted. “Tony has a sound science background. He has a background in environmental policy and a solid general understanding of the science behind what we are responsible for doing in stormwater,” Van de Vate said. “He has good communication skills – specifically, the ability to write. Keeping dynamic, relevant, current web content is important. Many folks with engineering backgrounds, communication is not their forte. “Tony is a skilled public speaker with the ability to articulate complicated concepts clearly. He’ll be talking to elected officials. He will look at how peer jurisdictions manage their bonds and letters of credit and see if we can incorporate some of their practices. Not everybody can make those calls

effectively and ask the right questions. I’m confident Tony will excel with assignments like this, and we’ve started already.” He also said there are things Norman won’t be doing: “He won’t be involved in education outreach that involves Knox County Schools. He won’t be involved in regulation of the construction trades. I’ve got eight folks who do that very well. Our bench is deep.” Norman said he’s not surprised that some have criticized his hiring. “I’ve known these people (in county engineering) for 20 years,” he said. “I spent 30 years in water quality – it’s like my calling – where my heart is.” Then he laughed and said: “I don’t want to go back into teaching. I don’t think I’d last a week (back in the school system). So when this came open, I said yeah, and really think my resume ought to be able to withstand (criticism).”

Museum says ‘thanks’ to vets, goodbye to exhibit The Farragut Folklife Museum got an early start honoring veterans in 2014. They started in June.
Sherri Gardner Howell FARRAGUT FACES The museum opened a special exhibit, “Honoring Our Veterans,” in the summer and said goodbye to it on Veterans Day. The send-off included a reception and time to honor area veterans with a thankyou on their special day. Several veterans came to get one last look at the exhibit. They were there to hear the gratitude and good wishes from the public and had time to fellowship with other area veterans as they toured the museum. The exhibit featured artifacts donated to the museum by the U.S. Naval Reserve Center in Knoxville plus other items on loan from museum committee members and Maj. Brian Tobler, who served the United States Special Operations in Iwo Jima, Desert Storm and Iraq. Of special interest during the five months of the exhibit

community Red light cameras and that crash data was inconclusive. He suggested that the town ask for $20 per citation. Alderman Ron Honken said the cameras weren’t intended to make money, but to make the community safer. Ben Harkins, who manages the Redflex program, said the cameras have reduced the number of offenses by “frequent fliers,” or habitual red-light runners. The conversation ended after a personal statement from Mayor Ralph McGill. “If you’ve ever been hit head-on by a drunk driver, you would never oppose any safety measure.” Markli was the lone dissenting vote. The board approved the town’s second half marathon in a 12-month span in spite of concerns expressed by the Event Committee and town staff. The committee was concerned that a second halfmarathon might overburden the town and threaten the Knoxville Track Club’s Farragut 13.1, held for the first time on Nov. 1. The proposed event, Race 13.1, is sponsored by a Raleigh, N.C., organization. Staff expressed concern about the proposed race route, which goes through several residential neighborhoods. Charlie Mercer of Race 13.1 said Farragut was chosen as a possible site because of its vibrant running

The board approved, on second reading, the rezoning of 33 acres north of the Holiday Inn Express on Campbell Station Road from R-2 (General Single Family Residential) to R-6 (Multi-Family Residential) and OSMFR (Open Space Multi-Family Residential Overlay District). It also voted, on first reading, to annex a 1.55-acre parcel so that it can be incorporated into the 33-acre tract for a proposed apartment development. The board approved, on first reading, an amendment to the municipal code that will give decision-makers the ability to request a traffic impact study if proposed zoning changes would increase density on a property. A proposed amendment to add an Everett Road Corridor Improvement Fee was postponed. McGill distributed $130,000 to principals from Hardin Valley Academy, Farragut Primary School, Farragut Intermediate School, Farragut Middle School and Farragut High School. The donations, from the town budget, have been made each year since McGill took office.

ize nearby businesses save time and use less gas, which helps their wallets and the environment. They also save money because many of the participating businesses feature discounts and coupons throughout the five-and-a-half-week program. Shoppers can sign up for “DealMails” at www. shopfarragut.com and scan or download the Shop Farragut app there or at the Shop Farragut page at www. townoffarragut.org. The event benefits registered businesses by providing tons of free advertising and promotion. “It doesn’t cost them anything except for the cost of a sign if they want to put a sign out,” says Sousa. Farragut Business Alliance advertises specific business discounts, coupons and special events on its website and social media with cross promotion on the town’s website and social media, along with print, radio and cable-TV exposure. Participating businesses are also provided with Shop Farragut posters, window clings and business cards with instructions for downloading the app. “With the Shop Farragut
app, you have 2,500 selfidentified subscribers who want information about sales and events,” says Sousa. She says it’s exciting to see businesses taking part in Shop Farragut year after year, “but even more exciting is getting new businesses to the area that are participating. I always like to see that,” says Sousa. According to the Farragut West Knox Chamber of Commerce, 2014 has been a great year for business. “We have had phenomenal growth,” says Bettye Sisco, president of the Farragut West Knox Chamber. On top of strong retention, she says, “We have a lot of new members, and we have a lot of new categories.” Most of the nearly 40 ribbon cuttings the chamber has had throughout 2014 have been for new businesses (a few have been for new locations or renovations). Restaurants and specialty food and beverage establishments have brought exciting variety to town, says Sisco, who names the French Market Creperie & Café, the Casual Pint, the Lighthouse Café and Spero Coffee & Tea among them.

Don’t tell me how the story ends In the front row of my music file is a Ronnie Milsap recording of a Kris Kristofferson song, “Please Don’t Tell Me How the Story Ends.” It popped up, unsolicited, when I thought of Jacob Gilliam and his final home appearance on behalf of Tennessee football. I know enough. I don’t need to know the ending. Maybe Jacob will become a coach or a business leader. He is a winning warrior. I believe he will be successful at something. I hope he is happy. I hope he can walk. Nothing like Jacob Gilliam has happened in my most-of-a-lifetime monitoring of the Volunteers. Other walk-ons have exceeded expectations, earned scholarships, achieved starting status. Nick Reveiz and a few others became captains. Maybe one beat out a junior college all-American and took his job, but I don’t remember that. I’m almost certain nobody ever played offensive tackle on one good leg and a torn knee ligament in the other. That Jacob wanted to try was stunning. It said his
Marvin West
love of football went beyond lip service, a bit deeper than touching the motivational sign on the way from the dressing room to the playing field and repeating the promise, “I will give my all for Tennessee.” It said he cared more for the team than himself. Ordinary people, when damaged, hobble off to a hospital and hope an orthopedic magician can make necessary repairs. Jacob skipped the surgery and started rehabilitation as soon as the swelling went down. It may have hurt. That Jacob made it back was a shock. He showed up on the sidelines at practice. I mistook that for loyalty. He attended meetings, keeping up with instruction. Suddenly, he was involved in limited workouts. He ran slowly. He never was a speedster. He is 6-4 and 290. Half of that is heart.
That he recovered enough to reclaim the starting job was amazing. I considered the possibility that Butch Jones has a sentimental streak and was simply rewarding courage and determination. That wasn’t it. The offensive line was better with Jacob Gilliam (and Joshua Dobbs). Don’t bother with how this story ends. It is already better than most movie plots. This guy was good at Farragut High. He had scholarship offers to smaller colleges. He wanted to go to Tennessee. He was thrilled when 2009 line coach James Cregg invited him over for conversation. Alas, when Gilliam arrived, there was no greeting. Cregg was gone – with Lane Kiffin to Southern Cal. A very nice Derek Dooley said Gilliam could walk on. He was a redshirt in 2010. Most of 2011 was lost to a shoulder injury. In 2012, he got in for two plays at the end of the Kentucky game. He said that was very meaningful. I said he had outlasted Dooley. Gilliam was second team last season, behind Tiny Richardson. He played briefly in two blowout losses.
This spring, day after day, he had to prove he was capable. He beat out Dontavius Blair, 6-8 and 313, the handpicked replacement for Richardson. Astounding what effort and smarts and fierce determination can do. Gilliam C oach Jones awarded a scholarship. Much earlier Jacob had earned the respect of teammates. He started the season opener against Utah State. He suffered the torn ACL. “It’s very, very unfortunate,” Butch Jones said. “I feel for him … I love him to death.” Cruel conclusion? The end? Not exactly. Cheering is not permitted in the press box, under threat of expulsion, but when Jacob Gilliam jogs onto Shields-Watkins Field for the last time, I’m going to risk it. Yea! Quietly. Nothing like this has happened in my time. Marvin West invites reader reaction. His address is westwest6@netzero.com.
Health is more than absence of disease, says Buchanan By Wendy Smith Some of the best work of the Knox County Health Department happens outside the walls of the its three facilities, says Director Martha Buchanan. Most people think of vaccinations or treatment of STDs when they think of the health department. But a quick browse through the KCHD website reveals an array of services, from a school dental program to tips on how to keep well water safe. Buchanan is most proud of the way the organization works within the community. Through recent efforts, the health department has improved the city’s walkability, helped people grow their own fruits and vegetables, and fostered a sense of community. “We’re empowering people so they know they have a voice in their own health.” She was a family-practice doctor for seven years before joining the KCHD 11 years ago. She has been director for four years. KCHD employs 250 and has a total budget of $25 million. Local government provides 75 percent of funding, and the remaining 25 percent comes from federal and state government and grants. The health department includes talented, passionate staff who go into the community to develop relationships and building trust, allowing them to gauge a neighborhood’s health needs, like playgrounds or safe places to walk. Health is about more
are public-health detectives who track down causes of infectious disease and investigate patterns of illness, like cancer, she says. One of the roles of the health department is to think through the unthinkable, like flu pandemics or an outbreak of Ebola. Strategies are in place for such circumstances, but prevention is the primary objective. In the case of Ebola, the county gets information Dr. Martha Buchanan speaks from Homeland Security to a civic club.

The staff also includes Buchanan won’t say whethmedical experts, like four er anyone in Knox County is epidemiologists and one currently being monitored. epidemiological nurse. They It’s a balancing act between
privacy and public concern, she says. It’s important to err on the side of caution, but if someone has no symptoms, there is no risk of infection. The health challenges in Knox County are the same as those across the state. Obesity is one. Another is making sure that everyone, from inner-city families to wealthy suburbanites, can be healthy if they choose to be. It’s a problem that can only be addressed through engagement, which requires reaching out to decision-makers as well as the community. We’re changing how we view healthcare, and everyone needs to be better informed, Buchanan says. “There’s a learning curve there.”

At-large commissioners Brantley and Bob Thomas plan to visit each area of Knox County to hear citizens’ concerns and will address them on the radio the next morning. Last month’s stop in South Knoxville put the spotlight on a safety issue with cars and school buses. After discussion on air, a police cruiser started monitoring the situation.

Prayer for Jacob By Marvin West Behind Jacob Gilliam’s unlikely comeback from a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee are deep family faith and hours and hours of prayer. Nathan Gilliam, Farragut High football senior, believed it when his older brother declared his Tennessee career was not finished. “I actually thought he would make it back,” said Nathan. “We prayed so much for that.” Three weeks after the injury, Jacob returned to the Tennessee practice field. “I remember thinking, ‘Wow!’ ” said Nathan. Vol line coach Don Mahoney had other thoughts – about work ethic, passion and desire. “This really is who he is and what he stands for, and it’s just hard work and tremendous character … it’s not a surprise.” Forty-nine days after
the injury, Jacob played against Ole Miss. A week later he regained a starting job. “I am so proud of him,” said Nathan Gilliam. He said Jacob’s recovery “feels like a miracle.” The Gilliam family – parents David and Michelle, their three football gladiators (Alex is the baby brother) and a very special grandmother – relied on their faith. Honey Rock Victorious Church was the focal point. The Gilliams met with the worship leader and his family every Thursday for intensive prayer. Nathan tells of “the laying on of hands.” Jacob believes those prayers and support from hundreds of others led to healing. He says he has been blessed with strength and stability in the knee. He says there has been very little pain. Teammates are in awe. “Dude’s tough,” said tailback Jalen Hurd.
Thunder Road revisited I recently voted in Farragut’s early voting, and one of the controversial issues this year is allowing wine to be sold in Farragut’s grocery stores. This issue reminded me of a similar referendum in 1961 when Knox County voted to legalize whiskey sales in package stores and, and finally, liquor by the drink in 1972. Referenda to legalize whiskey sales in Knox County date to 1941, and the proposal was placed on the ballot five times during that 20-year period until it was finally approved. The vote brought together two interest groups that would normally oppose each other; most Christian ministers opposed legalization based on “moral issues,” and area bootleggers opposed it for economic issues. But the real losers when the vote carried were the whiskey runners. Many kids considered these fearless drivers to be heroes, and for rural mountain boys, it was an occupation that could quickly lift them out of poverty. Of course, one such driver’s adventures were the subject of the 1958 movie “Thunder Road” starring Robert Mitchum, and I dare say there were few teenagers who missed seeing this flick because it involved “souped up” Fords that most kids dreamed of owning. But the real “Thunder

Road” that spurred the beginning of NASCAR racing occurred in 1954 when I was a sophomore in high school, and one of my classmates was witness to the event. John Fitzgerald related the story many times, and many who have written about the famous crash consider John’s account the most credible. John had stopped to air up his bicycle tires when he became aware of a crash just down the road. He could see a fire and knew something big had happened. Police officers related the story to him. The driver was well known to authorities, who had nicknamed him Tweedle O’Twill. There had been two roadblocks set for the elusive driver. Since the authorities were not sure which road he would take – Papermill or Kingston Pike – the first roadblock was set up just a few hundred yards west of the intersection. The second roadblock was at the present-day Gallery shopping center. Through his driving skills and some luck, he

RIP SAT-10, again Looks like the SAT-10 exam, defunct since Nov. 3, is going to stay defunct, despite the best efforts of Superintendent James McIntyre’s administration and its allies.
Betty Bean SAT-10 is the most disliked of the many assessments administered by Knox County Schools, primarily because of the tender age of the students to whom it is given – kindergarteners through secondgraders. It is not state-required, and its abolition became a priority for the two new board members who had firsthand experience with

its effects – Amber Rountree, an elementary school librarian who proctored the exams, and kindergarten teacher Patti Bounds. Rountree pushed the board to vote at a special called meeting the night before the election when Tracie Sanger (who was perceived to be a potential McIntyre ally based on a strong endorsement from Indya Kincannon) was elected. The vote came over the objections of McIntyre’s administrators and the proMcIntyre board members and ended up 6-3 with vice chair Doug Harris saying he voted for ending the test so he could bring it up again at a more propitious time in the future. Within days of the election, KCS Accountability Officer Nakia Towns announced that teachers were letting her know they
were afraid their evaluation scores would suffer without the SAT-10 numbers, and she compiled numbers confirming their worst fears. This would be one of Towns’ last chores for Knox County before the announcement that she had taken a job as an assistant to state Commissioner of Education Kevin Huffman, who shortly thereafter announced that he, too, was leaving, causing speculation among some that McIntyre would soon be joining Towns in Nashville as Huffman’s replacement (smart money was on former state Sen. Jamie Woodson, head of Bill Frist’s education think tank, SCORE). On Nov. 5, Dogwood Elementary School principal Lana Shelton-Lowe sent her teachers an email warning them of possible negative impacts of ending SAT-10.

On Nov. 6, Mooreland Heights Elementary School principal Roy Miller sent a similar email to a group of teachers warning them of the consequences of not having SAT-10 numbers to enhance their scores. On Nov. 10, board member Karen Carson, McIntyre’s strongest board ally, shot off an email to board chair Mike McMillan objecting to the Nov. 3 vote because she believed the motion on the floor was broader than the meeting notice and therefore fatally flawed – “Please let me know when I can expect resolution to this unfortunate error in procedure.” Uh, maybe never? Meanwhile, Sanger told Channel 10’s Mike Donila that she won’t vote to reinstate SAT-10. Without Sanger’s vote, there won’t be a majority willing to reinstate the controversial testing of Knox County’s youngest students.

Thunder Road was able to get around the first roadblock and probably thought he was in the clear, but when he saw the second block, he knew this one would be much harder to break. The road and grade have been altered since the early ’50s, when a steep red clay bank was on the south side of the Pike. His intent was to jump a ditch, climb the bank and somehow bring his car back to the road past the roadblock. But jumping the bank broke the tie-rods on his car, making it impossible to steer. The car careened across the road and
From previous page ran through a chain-link fence surrounding an electrical substation. Sparks from the substation ignited the broken whiskey bottles, creating an inferno. And as the song says: “The devil got the moonshine and the mountain boy that day.” During my youth, Dixie Lee Junction was a favorite gathering spot after a football game. And part of the entertainment was watching whiskey haulers come through at high speeds. A widely-known bootlegger owned a fleet of black Mercurys. The cars had exhaust headers that could be
heard several miles down U.S. Highway 70. Running out of Nashville, they always ran four or five together and maybe only one or two actually contained bottled whiskey. The other cars were used as decoys or to block police cars so the cars with the whiskey could get away. The moonshine usually came out of North Carolina or Kentucky, while the bottled whiskey came from Nashville or Bristol, Va. The border between Tennessee and Virginia runs through Bristol, but whiskey was legal in Virginia and illegal in Tennessee. So the bootleg-
ger could simply buy whiskey by the case in Virginia and deliver it to Tennessee. Today, diners can enjoy cocktails at most restaurants. I suspect the younger generation would find it amusing that liquor was so hard to get not so long ago. Private clubs often sold whiskey at high prices. Some restaurants allowed you to bring your own bottle but supplied expensive setups. And I bet the younger generation would find it even more amusing that 60 years ago, people risked their lives to deliver whiskey to markets that are now served by distributing vendors.

WATE’s decision not to renew its contract with popular longtime news anchor Gene Patterson has to be one of the dumber mistakes any television station could make.
Victor Ashe
WATE is now owned by Media General, which has its corporate office in Richmond, Va. WATE ratings are down, so their solution is to terminate the most popular newscaster they have. This shows the corporate office in Richmond is clueless about its Knoxville market. If your ratings are down why do you cut costs by letting one of your top newscasters go? Their ratings are only likely to sink further. No doubt they will hire someone under 35 and pay him/her half of what Patterson was paid and think the ratings will increase. Think again. WATE has no idea (or does not care) how unhappy its audience is. Also think about a corporation that makes a valued employee depart right at Christmastime. Again, insensitive and clueless. So much for the Christmas spirit. ■ State Rep. Rick Womick has challenged Speaker Beth Harwell for the GOP nomination for House Speaker to be decided by the GOP caucus in December. Womick represents the anti-Haslam faction of the House GOP caucus. This writer contacted all six Knox Republican lawmakers as to whom they planned on supporting at the December caucus. With the exception of Bill Dunn, all said they were voting for Harwell. They are Harry Brooks, Ryan Haynes, Eddie Smith, Martin Daniel and Roger Kane. Dunn said he simply did not disclose his vote. However, he added that he thought Harwell had done an excellent job as speaker and thought she would be
re-elected. That is Dunn’s way of saying (without saying) that he is for Harwell. ■ Gloria Johnson should not be counted out as a future candidate just because she lost the state representative race. Her loss actually occurred in two precincts outside the city at South-Doyle and Mount Olive, whereas she carried the city portion of her district by 900 votes. She could easily be a viable candidate for City Council in the November 2015 city elections. The four council seats up are the three at-large seats, held by George Wallace, Finbarr Saunders and Marshall Stair, or the district seat held by Mark Campen. Campen has the lowest profile of the four incumbents and had no opponent in the last election. If she ran for the Campen council seat, she would be a very strong contender. However, Johnson wants to be chair of the state Democratic Party, but that would not prevent her from serving on City Council, which currently only has one woman, Brenda Palmer, who is term limited in 2017. She is not alone in wanting the state position. Former U.S. Senate candidate Terry Adams is mentioned along with Linda Sherrill, who opposed U.S. Rep. Scott DesJarlais on Nov. 4. ■ One consequence of the Johnson defeat may be that Tammy Kaousias leaves the Knox County Election Commission in April. The current law provides that the Democratic lawmakers from Knoxville recommend the two Democratic election commissioners. When Joe Armstrong and Johnson were the two lawmakers, they simply picked one each, and Kaousias was the Johnson choice. With Johnson gone, Armstrong will get to recommend both positions. He is free to choose Kaousias again, or he might choose someone else as it is totally his choice. ■ Tony Hernandez, who covers Knoxville city issues for the News Sentinel, is departing for Oregon. He will be missed.

CAK military mom is
Veterans Day speaker
CAK’s Junior Praise choir sings in honor of Veterans Day
Major Ashley Nickloes stepped to the podium during CAK’s 2014 Veterans Day Program with her Bible, a folded American flag and a few notes. She quickly declared that she was honored to present and that she wanted to talk about the three things she loved the most: her Lord, her family and her country. As an aircraft commander / pilot of KC 135 air refueling tanks, Nickloes has served in Operation Noble Eagle, Operation Unified Protector and Operation Enduring Freedom supporting the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. She enlisted in
1998, and her husband Todd is a retired Lieutenant Colonel in the U.S. Air Force. Without question, the Nickloes family has dedicated their lives to serving this great country. After sharing a few stories of some of her many missions, reiterating how her faith in God pulled her through time and time again, Nickloes concluded and there wasn’t a dry eye in the CAK’s Campus Center gymnasium. Nickloes is a mother of four, including CAK Students Joshua (5th grade) and Maeve (4th grade). She talked about the many missions her
children had participated in (while they were in utero of course), and how they, too, should be considered veterans. In fact, for so many that serve our country, it is the families that also sacrifice so much. Veterans Day is a special day for many across the country, and at CAK that is no different. The campus was sprinkled with red, white and blue, and the concert band, Junior Praise, High School Ensemble and High School Choir performed as part of the program.

Giant Jenga wobbles a bit as Jack Forester, age 7, pulls a piece from the bottom while Blythe Jacobs, age 8, and volunteer Mollianne Reese look on.
Caring for community Bearden UMC puts fun in commitment By Nancy Anderson Bearden United Methodist Church leaders had a perfect name for a fun event they wanted to do for the community. Rev. Sherrell Boles coined the phrase that has stuck through three years of fun: Care-nival. “We wanted to call this special day of fun, fellowship and enjoying God’s blessings something that reflected the way we felt

about our neighbors and our community,” says Boles. “So we called it ‘Care-nival,’ because we care about our community.” Care-nival features games, food, music, contests and exhibits that offer both activities and information for parents and children. “Everything is free,” says organizer Jennifer Taylor. “It is the church’s opportunity to minister to the
community outside of our four walls. It gets bigger and better every year.” There seem to be no losers in the contests that featured everything from guessing the number of candy corn in the jar to a giant game of Jenga. Carnival games were a favorite, as was the popcorn and cotton candy. Approximately 75 attended the event, which was held at the church on Nov. 2.

Sold-out for Carman Carman Licciardello bills his show as simply “Carman,” and he can’t really offer a cohesive definition of what “kind” of Christian music show it is. Neither can his reviewers. Billed as contemporary Christian rock, it’s more rap. The message is delivered with a pinch of television evangelist and a healthy dose of Las Vegas showman. Whatever you call it, Carman had a soldout crowd of 1,000 fans on the edge of their seats and then on their feet at his concert at Knoxville Christian Center on Nov. 14.
With the recent Veteran’s Day on everyone’s mind, Carman included a ballad in honor of American vets that brought the audience to its feet with applause. Coming up at Knoxville Christian Center, 818 Cedar Bluff Road, is their annual Giant Thanksgiving Dinner with Mike Southerland on Sunday, Nov. 23. This free event offers services at 9 and 10:30 a.m. with special music by Southerland, then a full Thanksgiving dinner with all the trimmings after the 10:30 service. There is no charge.

Pumpkins on parade Farragut Middle School’s cafeteria was overrun by pumpkins during the fourth grade’s annual Pumpkins on Parade. Students had each chosen a book to read and then dressed up their pumpkin based on a character from the story. Students from other grades toured the tables in the cafeteria and talk to the fourth graders about the characters they chose. “I’m really proud of my class,” said teacher Lindsey White. “I could tell they put a lot of effort into their projects. Days like today excite the kids about school and about learning.” ■
Town of Farragut cuts ribbon
A ribbon-cutting was held last week for Farragut’s new outdoor classroom at the corner of Campbell Station Road and the entrance to Farragut High School. Folks checked out the raised-bed gardens, water cistern and permeable pavers. The only thing missing was a space heater. Jason Scott, the town’s stormwater coordinator and visionary behind the project, said he got the idea after visiting the outdoor classroom at Halls High School. Scott knew the idea would be a good fit for the Farragut community and immediately began looking for a piece of property.
Sara Barrett
The land at the entrance to FHS was available, and the fact that it was so close to the school was a plus. “So many things lined up,” said Scott. He drew up a rough plan and started shopping around for help, which began with McGill Associates fleshing out his sketch. The space is still a work in progress, but community groups have already pitched in to beautify and utilize the area. Boy Scouts built planters and tables, and there are plans for a rain garden or wetland at the edge of the property. Although the space is located adjacent to Farragut schools, Scott said it is “broadly applicable to the community as a whole, for hands-on service learning projects.” Info: jscott@ townoffarragut.org.

in the school gym By Sara Barrett Where can you find a dog, a curling iron, a fly rod, an urn and lots of chocolate in one place? Karns Middle School career fair, of course. The annual event was held in the school gym, where eighth graders could roam from booth to booth and see options waiting for them in the real world. Around 50 local and national businesses were represented, including The Hershey Company, Fly Fishing Tennessee, Karns Fire Department and Tennessee School of
Beauty. I’m sure they will all agree that the more props you have, the longer you can keep students’ attention. Trinity Funeral Home’s funeral director and embalmer, Myra Sloan, brought along a head made of wax to demonstrate facial reconstruction. Wendy’s restaurants brought boxes full of toy footballs and yo-yos to show that fast food is fun, and Tennessee School of Beauty curled and sprayed as much hair as they could from 9-11:30 a.m.
I may be the only one surprised by this, but about 75 percent of the students I talked to at the ShopperNews booth already knew what they’d like to do after high school. I realize their career choice may change 10 times before they graduate, but the fact that they already have some sort of goal in mind was impressive. I’m still trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up. This was the first time I’ve been fussed at by a student for taking his picture after he got his hair styled.

‘Mockingjay’ lands early, offers marathon The phenomenon rolls on as “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part I” opens in theaters at 8 p.m. tomorrow.
Commander Paylor (Patina Miller), Gale Hawthorne (Liam Hemsworth), Boggs (Mahershala Ali), Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) and Pollux (Elden Henson) stay on their toes in “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part I.”
Betsy Pickle
According to Fandango and MovieTickets.com, the third film in the “Hunger Games” saga has racked up the highest advance tickets sales of 2014. Tickets went on sale Oct. 29. Don’t be surprised to find several showings sold out this weekend. The story, based on the third and final novel in Suzanne Collins’ trilogy, picks up where “Catching Fire” left off. Having destroyed the Hunger Games, Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) reluctantly becomes the face of the rebellion in Panem. Katniss continues on her quest to kill Panem President Snow (Donald Sutherland), but meanwhile she has serious trust issues with District 13 President Coin (Julianne Moore), as well as with several allies. Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Woody Harrelson, Elizabeth Banks, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Stanley Tucci and Jeffrey Wright also star. The second part of “Mockingjay” will be released in November 2015. To prepare fans for the latest entry in the “Hunger
Games” series, several theaters will have a “Hunger Games” marathon Thursday, showing “The Hunger Games” and “Catching Fire” before culminating with “Mockingjay – Part I” at 8 p.m. Regal’s Pinnacle, Riviera and West Town and Cinemark’s Tinseltown in Oak Ridge will start the event at 2:30 p.m. But those itching to be first should go to Carmike’s Foothills in Maryville, which will start the marathon at 2 p.m.
Special screenings:
‘Barber,’ Queen Two special screenings will take place at West Town Mall 9 in the next few days. The Metropolitan Opera’s live production of “The Barber of Seville” will be shown at 12:55 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 22. Tickets are $24 for adults, $22 for seniors and $18 for children.
“Queen Rock Montreal,” aka “We Will Rock You: Queen Live in Concert,” will have one showing on the big screen, 7 p.m. Monday, Nov. 24, at West Town. The documentary shot in 1981 shows the band at its peak during a tour stop in Canada. Tickets are $12.50.
Nashville Jewelry designer coming to knoxville Nashville jewelry designer Vincent Peach is coming to Knoxville on Saturday, November 22, from 10 to 5 for a special one-day-only trunk showing of his beautiful jewelry pieces at UPSTAIRS at Todd Richesin Interiors. This will be a unique opportunity to get an early start on shopping for the perfect Christmas present for you or someone you love. Vincent combines each pearl with other natural, organic elements to create a collection featuring the highest quality pave’ diamonds, rhodium chains, vermeil, sterling silver, and hand woven leather. Inspired by the designer’s Nashville roots and intertwined with the romance of luxury travel, the Vincent Peach jewelry collection is uniquely hand crafted and one of a kind. Combining the casual elegance of leather and the extraordinary beauty of freshwater and black Tahitian pearls, the bohemian chic collection is artistically crafted to create a feeling of comfort and ease. With each piece unfolds a store evoked by a fascination with pearls. Vincent’s work has received national attention and
has been featured in Vogue, US Weekly, the New York Times, and other major publications. His designs are no strangers to stars such as Miranda Lambert, Carrie Underwood, Reba McEntire, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Connie Britton, and Taylor Swift, all who are photographed regularly wearing his amazing creations. What we love most are his contrasting combinations like softly worn and woven leather and Tahitian pearls; or Baroque freshwater pearls woven onto sterling silver stringing; and his stackable stretch bead bracelets of wood and pearls. He is combining pave’ diamond orbs on his necklaces as well, and mixing in his interest in ancient coins by using the coins as clasps for some of his work. His collection has a unique feeling of
comfort, ease, and sophistication. Vincent creates jewelry pieces for both men and women and the trunk show will feature both. One of the best parts of Vincent’s work is the value.

Sparkle on the stage As we move into the holiday season, it’s important to remember that all the sparkle is not on the tree. This weekend two “sparkling” productions are opening. Both are full of music and fun.
■ “The Crucible” presented by the Powell High School Drama Department, 6:30 p.m., at the school. Tickets: $6. Public is invited. Info: 938-2171.
Plate it This time of year, it’s not a good idea to upset your momma. For that reason, I suggest that, if discussing the meatloaf you just ordered at Sullivan’s Fine Foods at Rocky Hill, you tell her it is “almost as good as yours.” You’ll be lying, because my momma made the best meatloaf in the world, and Sullivan’s is better than hers. Here’s the thing about meatloaf. It’s either schoolcafeteria bad or slap-yomomma good. There really isn’t anything in between. For all its façade of simplicity, meatloaf is hard. It can be “too” on so many levels: too mealy, too dense, too soupy, too tomatoey. Then, even if you get it right, you have to deal with the essential topping. Brown gravy or tomato? If brown, mushrooms or peppers? If tomato, ketchup or

First, the Oak Ridge Playhouse presents “Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella.” Those of a certain age will remember the 1965 production with Lesley Ann Warren being waltzed around the ballroom by Stuart Damon as both sang, “ten minutes ago I saw you …” Those of an even – ahem – more certain age may remember the same scenario with Julie Andrews and Jon Cypher in 1957. Featuring such songs as “In My Own Little Corner” and “When You’re Driving Through the Moonlight,” this show is a joy from start to finish. My own favorite is the “Stepsisters’ Lament,” sung by the disgruntled siblings after the prince has been taken with Cinderella’s beauty: “She’s a frothy little bubble with a flimsy kind of charm; and with very little trouble, I could break her little arm!” “Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella” begins Friday, Nov. 21, and runs through Sunday, Dec. 7.

playhouse.com or call 865482-9999. Knoxville Opera presents its first production of the 2014-2015 season with Gilbert and Sullivan’s “H.M.S. Pinafore.” “This classic comedy is known for its familiar melodies as well as clever wordplay that dares to poke fun at politics and authoritative figures in a delightfully provocative way,” says KOC maestro and executive director Brian Salesky. “People of all ages will enjoy the music, characters, elaborate stage setting and costumes.” The plot plays out aboard a naval ship and centers on the conflicts of love between people from different social classes. The opera takes jabs at the British class system, party politics, the Royal Navy and the ironic rise of unqualified people into authority; even the title injects humor by using the name of the female pinafore garment in reference to the masculine naval warship.
Brian Deedrick of Edmonton Opera in Alberta, Canada, directs the show. He’s well known and loved by Knoxville Opera Company fans and participants. Production manager Don Townsend says, “Deedrick is hilarious as always to work with and has even written some snappy new dialogue for the cast … adding in local gags dealing with UT football, etc.” Townsend is also upbeat about the cast. “Sean Anderson, who sang here recently, is back as a befuddled Captain Corcoran, and Donata Cucinotta is his daughter, Josephine, who is in love with Ralph, tenor Josh Kohl. “But the real star of the show is old friend Steven Condy, who helped inaugurate the first Rossini Festival back in 2002 as Don Magnifico in Rossini’s ‘La Cenerentola.’ Condy is wonderful as the British Lord of the Admiralty, Sir Joseph Porter, who has come
to claim Josephine as his bride.” Local luminaries include University of Tennessee voice professors Lorraine DiSimone and Andrew Wentzel, as well as a 16-member chorus. Having worked for Knoxville Opera Company myself in the past, I can tell you that opera singers – contrary to their “diva” image – are actually some of the nicest, most fun-loving people you’ll ever come across. They’ll be throwing themselves full-tilt into this spectacular production, and you’re invited to join in. Performances are at 8 p.m. Friday, Nov. 21, and 2:30 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 23, at the Tennessee Theatre. Maestro Salesky will host a special opera preview session 45 minutes prior to each performance.

sauce? Here’s where Sullivan’s excels. They get the meatloaf right in density and spices, and they use ground chuck for the right fat content. They don’t overcook it. And then they sidestep the whole “sauce” issue by doing both. The top of the meatloaf is slathered with a thick layer of tomato ketchup that has been baked just enough to stick to the meat.

Beer cave, spirits and a guy named Sam By Sandra Clark Farragut Rotary finished another successful auction and wine-tasting fundraiser with the support of two guys named Sam. The donors are Sam Taylor of Dixie Lee Wines and Liquors and Sam Mishu of M&M Development Co. Here’s what the club’s past president Tom King says: “The donation by Sam (Taylor) of the wine is an integral part of the success of this event and they don’t just donate the wine. The family and staff of Dixie Lee pour the wine for the tastings and are part of the fun. Sam’s generosity for this event and for our other events as well is an example of how he loves Rotary and the projects and organizations we help each year. “Sam Mishu donates the food and the combination of what they do allows us to use every penny we raise on the projects we support as a club. “They’re also two of the nicest people you’ll ever want to meet. It’s an honor to call both of them a friend.”
We caught up with Sam Taylor at Dixie Lee Wines and Liquors on the day after local voters had authorized wine in grocery stores starting July 1, 2016. Taylor was unfazed. “We knew it was coming,” he said. “Things change. We’ll just have to do a better job in other areas.” The store was filled with customers, some buying product by the box. Its location on Kingston Pike at Watt Road makes it handy for Farragut residents, West Knox County residents and folks who live in adjoining counties. It’s a high-volume store. “We’ve been blessed,” said Taylor. The state law that enabled the referendum on wine in grocery stores also enabled package stores to expand their offerings. Sam and his family added a beer cave to their store in July. The walk-in cooler will be officially dedicated from 3-4 p.m. Friday, Dec. 5, an event sponsored by the Farragut West Knoxville Chamber. Expect Sam’s whole family to attend. “We’re all owners,” he
Sam Taylor relaxes in the wine tasting room at Dixie Lee Wines and Liquors. Photo by S. Clark says. Sam Taylor II and his wife, Linda, are founders, along with Sam’s friend Carl Montgomery who was a partner initially. When Carl retired to Florida, Sam and Linda bought his interest. Now their four kids are involved as owners and workers at the store: sons Sam III and Andy and daughters Ellen Taylor Jones and Melanie Brown. Andy graduated from law school and prac-
ticed law in both California and Florida before returning home in 2013 to join the family business. He’s now the store manager. Dixie Lee Wines and Liquors is open Monday through Saturday from 8 a.m. until 10 p.m. and closed on Sunday. Info: 865966-5551. In the beginning Sam Taylor has belonged to Rotary International for 34 years. He spent 21 years in the downtown club and
the last 13 years in the Farragut Rotary. His career was as chief financial officer for Albers Drug Company. In this role he learned how to value drug stores. He sometimes helped friends who were thinking of buying a business. And that’s how he discovered the availability of Dixie Lee Wines and Liquors. Sam and Linda had moved to Farragut in 1968. “We had an A&P where the Costco is now, and a Piggly Wiggly (grocery store) across from Frontier. … We lived in Village Green subdivision,” he recalls. “Gary Franklin had built the (Dixie Lee) store with the old building right where Watt Road comes out (onto Kingston Pike). He had to sell. Carl (Montgomery) and I were the second or third owners.” Sam discounts his donation to Farragut Rotary, saying he makes a cash contribution and then sells the wine. “We don’t want any conflicts (with ABC rules).” He said the key is Sam Mishu’s donation of food, prepared by the chef at Fox Den Country Club, which
enables the club to keep all proceeds from the event and silent auction. Growing the business “I don’t work here, I just hang out,” Sam said from his seat in the store’s winetasting room. Through the window we watched Andy and the staff lugging boxes of wine and spirits out to customers’ cars. “I don’t know how we got so busy,” Andy said later. He says the family business is a better fit than practicing law. Sam and Linda spend winters in Florida. They spend vacation time at “a little place in North Carolina.” A man of faith, Sam says it was hard to take the risk to buy a business when he had kids at home. But he believes “you give back and you get something back.” Certainly the local Dream Connection, Remote Area Medical, Good Samaritan Center of Lenoir City, Children’s Hospital and other beneficiaries of the Farragut Rotary Club can appreciate the generosity of both guys named Sam.

Help for insurance sign-up With nearly 1 million Tennesseans without health insurance, a new Knoxville-based company, Enroll Health, plans to reduce that number by making the process fast, easy and affordable for everyone. Everyone needs health coverage – it’s the law – but many Tennesseans have struggled with new requirements under the
Affordable Care Act. Enroll Health is a division of Enrollment First Inc., a national company that has provided healthcare solutions to more than 200,000 people over the past decade. Working with all of the major health-insurance providers (Cigna, Humana, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Aetna, etc.), Enroll Health will review a person’s situation and show
them all of the options available to them for free. They will even determine if that individual qualifies for subsidies to offset the cost of their coverage. The entire process takes only minutes and costs nothing. “People really don’t understand the Affordable Care Act,” said Hazen Mirts, president and CEO of Enroll Health. “We’re helping people who have
had insurance for years and we’re helping people who have never had health coverage. Enroll Health can get health insurance for someone for as little as $50 per month, and many people qualify for monthly premiums lower than that. Knox County offices are in West Town Mall and The Gallery on Kingston Pike. Info: 865-243-3900 or www.EnrollHealth.com/.

‘Order in the court!’ “Witness” April Lamb (who teaches technology at Sarah Moore Greene and lives in Fountain City) is called to testify in the mock trial. Presiding is “Judge” Safari Bahati.
Proton Therapy explained By Bonny Millard The Provision Center for Proton Therapy, which opened earlier this year, provides cutting-edge proton radiation treatment for cancer patients and is quickly making Knoxville a national medical destination. David Raubach, vice president of operations for Provision, spoke to the Rotary Club of Farragut about the center’s aggressive treatment, which reduces side effects associated with conventional radiation treatment. The center, a nonprofit treatment facility, was founded by Knoxvillian Terry Douglass. Proton therapy provides more precise targeting of cancer cells, destroying them while minimizing damage to surrounding tissues. Raubach explained that protons are heavier and can be stopped after entering the body. This way the protons are directed and concentrated in the tumor. X-ray radiation therapy sends beams that travel all the way through the body, damaging healthy tissues,

Let’s ‘friend’ people with dementia By Bill Dockery
Knoxville goes by a lot of labels: “Big Orange Country” for UT sports, or “Scruffy City,” an insult that has turned into a point of pride. Now a group of health-care professionals is determined to paint Knoxville purple, making it Neil the nation’s first official dementia-friendly city. Carolyn Pointer Neil unveiled the broad outline of the Purple Cities Alliance to a Town Hall East meeting on Nov. 11. Neil, who is president of Elder Advocates in Knoxville, is one of the public fronts for the project, which aims to alert Knoxville organizations and individuals to the needs of people with brain-related illnesses. “The Purple Cities Alliance wants to make our community aware of the people with dementia in our midst and educate everyone to respond in ways that are helpful and compassionate,” Neil said. The project uses purple from the “Purple Angel” icon, developed in Europe as a marker for dementia awareness and concern. Neil told the Town Hall East gathering about a recent incident that shows the need for the program. “A little lady drove into the parking lot at Kroger’s,” Neil said. “When she was ready to go into the store, she couldn’t remember how to get out of her car. Soon a crowd gathered around, all trying to tell her how to unlock the doors. “Then the fire truck showed up.” Neil called that a dementia emergency that stresses the sufferer, confuses bystanders and burdens fam-
ily caregivers. She said the alliance’s developing programs will help address these concerns. “We need to be teaching our community the basics of dementia and how to respond,” Neil said. “I call it CPR for brain disease.” The programs being developed will train businesses, churches, police, firefighters and other emergency personnel to be aware of and to respond to someone suffering a public crisis. The kickoff celebration is scheduled for May 11, 2015, on Market Square in downtown Knoxville. Both Knoxville Mayor Madeline Rogero and Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett are committed to supporting the effort. By then, the alliance task force plans to have 100 or more businesses, agencies, community organizations and civic groups enrolled. The alliance has posted a Facebook page at https:// www.facebook.com/dementiafriendlycommunity. The alliance is already drawing on a wide complement of people and organizations who serve the aging population, including the Pat Summitt Foundation, Alzheimer’s Tennessee, the East Tennessee Alzheimer’s Association, the area Agency on Aging and Disability and the Knoxville Office on Aging. All three Knoxvillebased hospital/health systems are involved, as are Courtyards Senior Living, Trinity Hills Senior Living, and other area senior-care facilities. Some 80 percent of dementia cases involve Alzheimer’s disease, with vascular dementia making up much of the remaining 20 percent. Worldwide, about 44 million people have brain disease.

Attorney Scott Frith is speechless as “defense counsel” Danea Summerford makes air quotes to convey her skepticism over testimony. Photo by Tyree Gibson even the witnesses. The kids were quick to improvise. And we all learned something. The first jury split 4-2 for guilty. The verdict? Not guilty, of course. Scott explained: A verdict is not decided by majority vote. A guilty verdict must be unanimous. If it’s not unanimous, the verdict
is not guilty. Wow. It felt great to be exonerated. I was so happy I caught up with victim Destiny Woods in the hall and offered her highlighter back. Carol Springer, co-sponsor of the club, said afterward that a better defense would have been to argue that the yellow object in my
hand was a banana and I was running because I was really, really hungry. But why argue with a win? Danea Summerford became Ruth White’s favorite because she’s so handy with a camera. Now she tops my list because as my defense lawyer she sprang me on a technicality. The sky’s the limit for this kid.

Second Presbyterian to split By Betty Bean The congregation of one of Knoxvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oldest â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and most visible â&#x20AC;&#x201C; churches is in the process of breaking up over disagreements with its national governing body Bryan Wilson over social issues, primarily same-sex marriage. In a letter to members of Second Presbyterian Church dated Nov. 8, Senior Pastor Bryan A. Wilson announced his intention to resign effec-
tive Nov. 30, a decision that he called â&#x20AC;&#x153;difficult and painful.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;Ś I can no longer, in good conscience and with theological integrity, continue as a teaching Elder (minister) in the Presbyterian Church U.S.A. (PCUSA),â&#x20AC;? Wilson said. Wilson will join the Evangelical Covenant Order of Presbyterians (ECO) as part of the leadership team of â&#x20AC;&#x153;a new missional church forming in our city that will launch next month.â&#x20AC;? He quoted Philippians 1: 3-6, Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s farewell to the church in Philippi. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Paul had to have penned
these words with tears of joy and sadness dropping onto his manuscript, because that is what is happening to me as I type these words to you. I love you, Second Presbyterian Church. May you continue to pursue all that God has for you!â&#x20AC;? Second Presbyterian was founded in 1818 when it broke away from First Presbyterian Church over issues as spiritual as original sin and as temporal as collecting rent on pews. Lifelong member Bo Shafer said he and other members are not ready to talk publicly about the schism within the imposing church on the high-
est hill along the pricey stretch of Kingston Pike between Neyland Drive and Bearden. However, he made it clear that he is not happy with the direction chosen by the national organization. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The PCUSA has changed what the Bible says and approved same-sex marriages and all that sort of stuff. A lot of folks donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t agree with that. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a whole bunch of stuff going on, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need to wait and see,â&#x20AC;? he said. When asked if it will be traumatic to leave the only church home heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ever known, he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m much more a believer in the Bible than I am in rules. I believe
everything the Bible says.â&#x20AC;?

He too is unhappy with some of the dictates from PCUSA, but not so much about gay marriage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am more upset by the PCUSA deciding that we as a denomination should somehow follow the BDS scheme of boycott, divest and sanction Israel over Palestinian issues. I am a strong supporter of Israelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right to exist, and I wish that it could exist in peace for a while.

Q&A
Q:
John McMillan recently spent a week at Concord visiting with our theatre arts and graphic design classes. What are the unique features of this project and the objectives for our students?
A:
John McMillian discusses the role for a creative professional.
It’s an amazing opportunity for our students to go to the only school in Tennessee with a partnership with a Hollywood production company. Having an executive from Hollywood Connect and Zero Gravity Pictures, like
John McMillan, is invaluable to the classroom experience in our theater arts and multimedia courses. Through this partnership our students will not only be taught by their classroom teacher but also creative professionals who are in the arts and entertainment industry every day. Our students get to network with people who are in the industry while they are still in high school. Through this program they can determine if a career as a creative professional is truly their calling or not.
Teacher Appreciation First production for Week at Concord This has been a special week on the Concord Campus. Students and parents have been showering the teachers and staff with kind words of affirmation, yummy treats as well as beautiful gifts.

The CCS Theatre Arts Department is working on its first production. “A Seussified Christmas Carol” is a whimsical reinvention of Dickens’ most beloved Christmas story in wacky rhymed couplets. With zoot fruited juices and binka bird geese, from Bed-Headed Fred to Timmy Loo Hoo, this tale of glorious holiday cheer is similar to something Dr. Seuss might have come up with -- if he ever had his way with the story. This one act play is a comedic take of Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol.” Many of the Concord students are acting in their first roles for this production. With a cast of sixth through 12th graders, director Christi Watson has seen incredible teamwork in her cast. Experienced students are coming alongside the younger actors and all are eager and working hard at rehearsal. By doublecasting the lead roles, each evening’s performance will be unique. When asked about her objectives for this first production, Watson said, “Theatre arts teaches bravery, teamwork, discipline and creativity like nothing else. Theatre arts is also an amazing vehicle to

ASTYM treatment gets nurse back on her feet As a home health nurse for Covenant Health, Shawn Peterson relies on being able to stand for hours, move easily to assist patients and drive long distances. “I have to have my feet to do my job,” she said. “But I could barely even walk.” After struggling with foot, ankle and calf pain for months, Peterson was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis in both feet. The condition is caused by an increase in tension in the arch of the foot, usually due to physical activity or wearing unsupportive shoes. The arch is supported by the plantar fascia tissue, which can tear and send sharp pains through the foot and up into shins and calves. People who work on their feet like Peterson are at a higher risk to contract the condition. “Shawn had a chronic injury for more than a year,” Jerrod Adams, Parkwest physical therapist, said. “She tried different treatments to resolve it, but nothing worked.” During one physical therapy appointment, Adams spoke to Peterson about ASTYM, in which he and another Parkwest Therapy Center staff member are certified. The treatment is used to address a wide variety of diagnoses, including shin splints, shoulder pain and plantar fasciitis. “I read all about it and saw that professional athletes use it, so I wanted to try it,” Peterson said. “I just wanted to get better, whatever it took.” Twice a week for four weeks, Peterson’s physical therapy stretches and strengthening were supplemented by the ASTYM Sys-

tem, an evidence-based treatment that uses external pressure to break down damaged tissue. Each session, Peterson’s feet, calves and shins were treated by the ASTYM plastic tools, which come in three different shapes and sizes to address different body parts. Though the pressure is intense, Peterson said that it “hurt so good. They have to apply enough pressure to make a differ-
What can ASTYM treat? Damaged scar tissue can result from trauma, surgery, repetitive strain and immobilization. By addressing the soft tissue that has become dysfunctional, ASTYM can help rebuild it and prevent further injury. The most common diagnoses that can benefit from ASTYM treatment are:
Post-surgical scarring Post-traumatic fibrosis Trigger finger Carpal tunnel syndrome Lateral epicondylitis Medial epicondylitis DeQuervain’s tenosynovitis Wrist sprains Shoulder pain Plantar fasciitis Chronic ankle sprains Achilles tendinitis Shin splints Anterior knee pain Patellar tendinitis Hamstring sprains IT band syndrome Hip pain/trochanteric bursitis Sacroiliac joint and low back pain Degenerative arthritis

The studies show real physiological changes on the cellular level of the tissue,” Adams explained. “Patients make measured improvement in pain levels and ability to function.” For Peterson, these physiological improvements translate into improved quality of life and the ability to get back on her feet comfortably. “I had so much pain every day just walking and driving,” she said. “I had grown to living in pain day-to-day. Now the pain is gone. You don’t realize how important your feet are until you can’t use them.” To be considered for ASTYM treatment, the patient may be referred to the Parkwest Therapy Center by any physician, nurse ence, but it’s very relaxing in the end.

Six tips for proper shoe fit Wearing old or unsupportive shoes can cause issues in your feet, calves, knees and hips. By considering the following tips when you go shoe shopping, you may be able to limit the likelihood of injuries and conditions like plantar fasciitis. 1. Shop late in the day. You may not notice, but your feet are actually larger later in the day. Make sure to shop in the afternoon or evening to get shoes that will fit you all day long. 2. Measure your feet. Even if you’ve always been a size 8, have a sales associate measure your feet to confirm your size. Shoe size changes along with weight and age. 3. Flex the shoe. The bottom of your shoe should flex at the ball of the foot, not in the middle. 4. Choose the right shoe for your activity level. Walkers need a flat heel because they land on their heels. Runners
land mid-foot and require the extra stability and support of a flared heel. 5. Don’t rely on “breaking in” your shoes. Shoes should be comfortable when you buy them. Uncomfortable shoes can cause you to change your gait and possibly lead to injury. 6. Take your old shoes with you. Wear patterns of your old shoes can help the sales associate determine the proper shoe for your stride. If you are already experiencing foot or leg pain, make an appointment at the Parkwest Therapy Center to speak with a physical therapist. The staff can help you rehabilitate your injuries and prevent them in the future. They can also provide advice and exercises to increase strength, correct gait and maintain a healthy lifestyle without the risk of injury. For more information, visit CovenantHealth.com/Therapy Centers or call us at 374-PARK.
