Tennessee Department of Transportation Commissioner John Schroer’s visit to the Farragut West Knox Chamber of Commerce bypassed some potential controversy, but nevertheless Schroer’s message was – in his own words – “depressing as can be.” The launch of the chamber’s 2014 Breakfast Speaker Series last Wednesday at Fox Den Country Club brought out about 100 members and guests. It also attracted a handful of Britton Bridge employees who held up a banner at the Kingston Pike entrance to Fox Den that chided Schroer for not meeting with them about their safety concerns. Schroer downplayed the mini protest with a quip, saying he was “glad somebody noticed that I came to Knoxville.” But it appeared that he did feel a bit of a sting as first he said, “We have met with those people, at least two or three times,” and later insisted that the issue belonged with the Tennessee Occupational Safety and Health Administration, not TDOT. Schroer didn’t want to make light of the deaths of two workers during the renovations of the Henley Bridge, but he also had an agenda: to shed light on the state of TDOT. He has a budget of about $1.8 billion a year, and “yet I still have a half-billion-dollar backlog.” He referenced a CNBC study

Lupton describes ‘toxic charity’ By Wendy Smith Bob Lupton was enjoying his first Christmas as a resident of inner-city Atlanta when he witnessed something that changed his entire ministry. When members of a suburban church brought Christmas presents to a poor, urban family, the kids were ecstatic, the mom was embarrassed, and the dad vanished out the back door. The charitable gift exposed the dad’s inability to provide, and it was more than his fatherly pride could handle, he said. Lupton, the author of “Toxic Charity,” shared insight he’s gained from more than 40 years of ministering to the poor at Cedar Springs Presbyterian Church’s 2014 Global Mission Conference.
After that Christmas, Lupton examined the ministry’s other charity programs and noticed a pattern. If someone received something once, they were appreciative. If they received it twice, there was some anticipation. When they received it a third time, it created expectation, and after the fourth time, it created entitlement. If someone received something five times, the result was pure dependence. That, he says, is toxic charity. From then on, he adopted the position that charity is helpful only in a crisis situation. After the crisis has passed, it’s time to rebuild. “Development is the right response to chronic poverty issues,” he said. Defining “crisis” is
the city, I’ve never seen a starving person. I’ve seen food insecurity, but not starvation.” Lupton’s response to the chronic needs of his neighbors was to build healthy relationships, something that isn’t accomplished through one-way giving. He began to see both the needs and the resources in his neighborhood, and utilize the resources. Nobody is so poor they don’t have something to contribute, Bob Lupton, author of “Toxic he said.

A free clothing closet became a business when customers were required to purchase items. The new business provides employment, and customers feel appreciated rather than demeaned. A food pantry became a food co-op when neighbors pooled resources to have more purchasing power at a local food bank. The arrangement led to a weekly potluck lunch where neighbors show off their cooking skills. Christmas has changed, too. Generous church members still purchase items, but the unwrapped gifts are placed in a store where parents can shop for their children at reduced prices. To page A-3

Kitchens are the hub of the home and are used for more than preparing meals. Areas for doing homework, electronic docking stations and desk space are often included. Even when entertaining, everyone seems to congregate in the kitchen. The design trend is open, airy kitchens that are an extension of the living area. Islands are hot and offer a multitude of functionality. Think of how you use your kitchen and what you need to maximize. Do you need a breakfast area, a large cooking space, a second prep sink or just additional storage? It all can be incorporated in an island! The kitchen island is a centerpiece and should stand out. The countertop, base cabinetry and hardware can be different from the rest of the cabinetry but should coordinate. What a great place to add a bold pop of color and a striking lighting fixture! Island design elements are endless! From small and simple to large and multifaceted, choose from features like pull-out storage, shelving, glass doors, decorative posts, corbels & legs, and wine storage. Cook tops, dishwashers, wine coolers and prep sinks are often installed in the island area. Don’t forget to add electrical outlets! When thinking about designing your island, space guidelines from the National Kitchen and Bath Association (nkba.org) recommend at least 42 inches of aisle space surrounding an island, and 48 inches if there are multiple cooks. Counter heights are 36 inches and breakfast bar height is typically 40 to 42 inches. Are you ready to get started on your island project? Stop by Modern Supply and look at their kitchen displays for inspiration. Design consultants are ready to help you create your dream island. 865.966.4567 Now open until 7:00 pm on Thursday!

The Cub Scouts in Pack 16, sponsored by Concord United Methodist, celebrated completing the unloading of 1,000-plus pounds of food for Shepherd of Hope Food Pantry at Faith Lutheran with smiles for a group picture. Scouting for Food photos by Sherri Gardner Howell Nathan Stewart stays on task at the conclusion of his Cub Scout pack’s Scouting for Food project.
Lessons from the Cub Scouts The Girl Scouts have the cookies – and they are out in full sales force this week – but the Cub Scouts are not to be outdone with signature events that combine educational agendas with fun. The Cub Scout Pinewood Derby is a mainstay of scouting. It combines math, science, engineering, artistic creativity, a healthy dose of competitive spirit and a love of racing all into one project.

Rough road ahead that found that Tennessee has the “second-best infrastructure in the nation,” after Texas. He also pointed out that Texas has a transportation debt of $18 billion. “We’re … one of four states in the nation that has no transportation debt,” he said. “We are a pay-as-yougo state.” Since his appointment by Gov. Bill Haslam in January 2011, he has taken a realistic approach to running TDOT and focused on solving problems economically, not with all the bells and whistles – “expedited project delivery,” he calls it.
From page A-1
“What is the minimum we can do in order to make this road functional and to meet our criteria?” is his approach. “This fiscal year we saved $180 million in five projects. … That savings goes back to other projects.” He said that 91 percent of TDOT’s budget goes to maintenance and construction projects in the state, with only $2 million assigned to administrative costs. Still, like every other state, Tennessee is suffering the effects of aging infrastructure, he said. “Our infrastructure is falling apart. We spent bil-

lions of dollars in the ’50s to get our interstate system. We’re spending nickels compared to other countries. We’ve gone from fifth place to 25th place in our international rating for our infrastructure because we are not investing in our assets. “We’re putting diapers on bridges to keep the stuff (from) falling out and hitting cars below. That’s how we’re handling our infrastructure.” State and federal funds for road projects come from gasoline taxes, and tax revenues are steadily decreasing because of improvements in fuel economy. He sees some hope that Washington is finally facing up to the reality of the

The scouts collected the food for their drive in Sugarwood subdivision and at Concord United Methodist.

transportation crisis, particularly with U.S. Rep. Dave Camp’s proposed taxcode overhaul. And he had advance word that President Obama’s 2015 budget would address transportation in the short term. The budget, announced a few hours after Schroer’s presentation, includes a “four-year $302 billion surface transportation reauthorization proposal paid for with transition revenue from pro-growth business tax reform,” according to a White House press release. Relief could not come soon enough for Schroer. “Our roads are critical to everything that we do every day.”

“What kids need more than toys is effective parents,” Lupton said. He shared the story of his neighbor, Virgil, who complained about the vans full of church people that flood into the neighborhood each summer to do service projects. He wouldn’t go so far as to say they weren’t needed, but he suggested that ser-
vice projects should be community-initiated and community-led. He also thought suburbanites could learn a thing or two from those in the inner city. Lupton shared Virgil’s words: “They have no idea how God is working in our neighborhood. They have no idea what it’s like to live by faith.”

government Catching up with Chris Woodhull Former City Council member Chris Woodhull has moved to the Chattanooga area, where he lives in Lookout Mountain, Ga., although he maintains his domicile here in Knoxville.
Victor Ashe
Over coffee recently, Woodhull, 54, told this writer that he continues to host “Improvisations” on Friday nights for WUOT; he started doing it before he left council in December 2011. “I grew up with jazz,” he says. He comes to Knoxville weekly to tape the show on the UT campus. He also does consulting work with Richmont Graduate University, which has sites in both Atlanta and Chattanooga. He is the director of Build Me a World, which can be found at www.buildmeaworld.com and is in a partnership with Fancy Rhino productions. He’s glad he served on City Council as an at-large member for eight years but calls his performance “underwhelming.” “I could have been better prepared for the life of a politician. Meetings often seemed artificial.” He described colleagues Mark Brown and Bob Becker as “good friends.” He said he would not have run for a third term even if the City Charter had permitted it, but after eight years on council he thinks the mayor should be allowed to seek a third term because it is difficult to accomplish much in only eight years. Woodhull said he was “glad to have been the deciding vote in choosing Knoxville’s first AfricanAmerican mayor (Daniel Brown).” The other four were Marilyn Roddy, Daniel Brown, Becker and Joe Bailey. Each was the deciding vote on a 5-4 vote on a
nine-member council. ■ The “Ed and Bob Show,” which used to be on WNOX, may appear on Knox County Commission starting Sept. 1 if Bob Thomas and Ed Brantley are elected to the commission’s two at-large seats. Brantley is opposed by Michelle Carringer, and Thomas is unopposed. Brantley says he and Thomas did not always agree on the “Ed and Bob Show.” Thomas is seen as a person (one of several) who may run for county mayor in 2018 when Tim Burchett’s second and final term ends. ■ The contest between Ed Shouse and Craig Leuthold for the GOP nomination for county trustee will be hard fought. It revives memories of Black Wednesday, when County Commission disgraced itself with backroom deals naming each other and family members to various county positions. Leuthold named his father, Frank, to his own seat. He also voted to install Fred Sisk as county trustee. Sisk then turned around a few weeks later and increased Leuthold’s salary by 44 percent (according to NS editor Jack McElroy’s column), making it an expensive thank-you for county taxpayers. ■ Events in Ukraine change daily, and the ultimate outcome is uncertain. Having lived in Poland from 2004 to 2009, I had a front-row seat observing how Ukraine freed itself from the former Soviet Union and moved haltingly toward democracy and economic vitality. The Putin-inspired occupation of Crimea is another major setback to Ukraine. Poland, rightfully, remains deeply concerned about developments there and wonders how steadfast the United States will be over the long term in restoring Ukraine’s territorial integrity.

Barnes Barbershop is Duncan family tradition By Sara Barrett When Rep. John J. Duncan Jr. stepped off a plane in Knoxville from Washington, D.C., he went straight to Barnes Barbershop in East Knoxville for important business. His grandson, Zane Jr., was getting his first haircut. “You can solve the problems of this country better here than in Congress,” said Duncan of the barbershop on Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue. He took off his suit jacket before settling down in the barber chair with Zane Jr. on his lap. “The tradition of Barnes Barbershop has been go-
ing on for a long time in our family,” said Duncan. A young Jimmy Duncan was taken there by his dad, the late John Duncan Sr., in the late 1940s for his first haircut. He became a regular and took his son Zane there for his first trim. Barnes opened in the 1920s and is still operated by the same family. Barber Debbie Barnes kept the shop’s basket of lollipops handy as she snipped the split ends from Zane Jr.’s mane. The haircut lasted about seven minutes and his mom, Hallie, saved some locks in an envelope as a souvenir.

Will money buy love? Fourth District incumbent Lynne Fugate is one of schools superintendent James McIntyre’s strongest allies. She is in her second year as school board chair and is seeking to be elected to a second term.
Betty Bean Fugate is sitting pretty, money-wise, reporting a balance-on-hand of nearly $18,000 at the end of the last reporting period, on Jan. 31. Her list of financial supporters is long and impressive, studded with the names of some of Knoxville’s most powerful citizens. She raised much of her war chest at a January fundraiser at the home of Ann Haslam Bailey, including a $1,000 contribution from James Haslam II, also a strong McIntyre supporter. This is not a staggering
sum by national standards but is enormous compared with opponents Sally Absher and Jeffrey Scott Clark, who were exempt from filing detailed financial disclosures because they received and spent less than $1,000. Fugate is local market executive for SmartBank and served as executive director of Nine Counties, One Vision, a regional planning initiative launched in January 2000. Her two sons attended West High School, and she has served as president of the West High School Foundation. When teachers showed up to air their complaints about McIntyre’s methods at the January County Commission meeting, clad in red for solidarity, Fugate chose a seat between McIntyre and his chief of staff, Russ Oaks. She did not wear red. Clark is a first-time candidate and a political unknown – at least to this reporter. He has not returned phone calls, and there is
little information to be gleaned about him online. His wife is his campaign treasurer and several people who signed his qualifying petition share his last name. Absher was an early member of the Tea Party but says she is no longer involved with that group. She was elected to the Republican State Executive Committee in 2010 and is not seeking re-election. She is critical of Common Core State Standards and says she would not have voted to extend McIntyre’s contract. She has a degree in geology and is a technical writer. Her husband, Steve, teaches chemistry at Halls High School, and she has been a regular at school board meetings in recent months, wearing red and sitting with the teachers, many of whom strongly support her candidacy. Her Facebook campaign page describes her as “… an issues-oriented individual

estate guy Scott Smith, was to deny the appeal for the marina. It failed 3-5. Up jumped lawyer John King, representing Huber. “The motion has failed.

This motion failed 3-5, which meant MPC’s approval of the apartments was upheld. It seems a “no” vote actually meant “yes,” even if most people in the room expected further debate.

(Huber said later he’s likely to appeal to Chancery Court to reinstate the marina, but it’s full speed ahead on the apartments.)

Tradin’ Claude’s remarkable life
Lynnhurst-Resthaven Cemetery was established in 1922, but Col. Claude S. Reeder (left) became president in 1929 and expanded it.
HISTORY AND MYSTERIES | Dr. Jim Tumblin He earned a law degree, played a large role in building the framework for the Tennessee Valley Fair, might have helped found the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and became a local household name selling cars, once taking a cow as partial payment for a Studebaker. Meet Claude S. Reeder, who was born on July 14, 1886, in Knoxville, the son of Columbus Alexander and Adelia Hodges Reeder. Columbus Reeder was a prominent Knox County farmer and held several political offices in the county, including sheriff from 1876 to ’80. Claude graduated from old Girls High School, the predecessor of Knoxville High School, and enrolled at UT, where he played halfback on the football team and also lettered in basketball and track. He received his bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering in 1908 and promptly enrolled in the College of Law. Although he never practiced, he felt the knowledge enhanced his skills in business. On June 10, 1909, Claude married Ella McKee Durham (1886-1982). They had four children: Claude S. Jr., John Alexander, Richard Durham and Betty McKee (Houston). Col. Reeder first worked as a clerk in the Knox County Tax Assessor’s office but
later resigned to found the Cherokee Motor Co., the local seller of Studebakers. He earned his nickname “Tradin’ Claude” when he advertised, “We trade for anything but a rattlesnake.” His photograph with the cow taken as partial payment made the local papers and was picked up by the national NEA news service. A promoter of the Appalachian Exposition in 1910 – the forerunner of the Tennessee Valley Agricultural and Industrial Fair – Reeder remained interested in the fair throughout his life. There were many good years and some very lean ones, but eventually that fair became the “father” of the Tennessee Valley Fair. An apocryphal story, to which many lend credence, credits Reeder for influencing Gov. Austin Peay to take an interest in efforts to establish the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. As the two sat on the porch of Reeder’s summer home in Kinzel Springs, Claude said, “Governor, these mountains would make the finest scenic park in the world. Why don’t you ask the legislature to acquire the land?” Coincidence or not, in 1925 the legislature enacted the Little River Lumber Co. Purchase Act, one of the first moves toward establishing the park.
Late in life, Reeder calculated that he had served on 47 corporate boards over the years including: chair of Reeder Chevrolet Co.; chair of Cherokee Oil Co., which he founded in 1928; director of White Star Bus Lines; chair of several Seven-Up bottling companies (Washington, D.C., Rochester, N.Y., Richmond, Va., and Winston-Salem, Asheville and Charlotte, N.C.); president of Morris Plan Bank; president of the East Tennessee Fair Association; and president of LynnhurstResthaven Cemetery Co. Lynnhurst Cemetery had been established in 1922, when its first president, James Lyle Humphrey (1870-1925), bought the initial acreage west of First Creek near Greenway. Soon, the property north of Adair Drive was purchased from the Sanders estate, heirs to a portion of the original Adair land grant. Later, with Claude Reeder as president, the corporation bought the old mill property near the cemetery entrance from O.W. Sweat. Reeder presided over the corporation from 1929 until 1938, when he was succeeded by W.B. Hatcher. Reeder also owned Park Amusement Company, which operated rides and concessions at Chilhowee Park. His real-estate holdings included several U.S.

Post Office buildings, which he leased to the government. In addition, he served in many civic and fraternal organizations: the Knoxville Kiwanis Club, Elks Lodge (life member), the Masons (32nd Degree), Kerbela Temple, Chamber of Commerce (director), the Wonderland Park Club and Cherokee Country Club. He and Ella were also active at Church Street Methodist Church. He loved the outdoors and particularly enjoyed hunting and fishing with his friend W.R. Kennerly. They often went to South Dakota for pheasant and to Canada for moose and deer hunting and muskellunge fishing. In addition to the summer home in Kinzel Springs, where the community considered him the honorary mayor, the Reeders later enjoyed a winter home in Fort Myers, Fla. When Norris Dam was built and the lake impounded,
Reeder built a lodge on the lakeshore, where his personal friend, Army Gen. Mark Clark, was a guest. But, most of all, he enjoyed his old family home place, 316 W. Hill Ave., currently the site of the City County Building. The picture window in his den overlooked the Tennessee River (Fort Loudoun Lake). A mounted buffalo head hung over the great stone fireplace, while other trophies of pheasant, elk, Rocky Mountain sheep and game fish were hung around the room. Col. Reeder suffered a fatal heart attack while attending a reception in honor of Sen. Herbert S. “Hub” Walters in Morristown on Oct. 17, 1964. Knoxville Mayor John Duncan had asked him to read a procla-
mation and present the keys to the city of Knoxville to Walters. After services at Mann’s Mortuary, he was interred in the Reeder Mausoleum in Lynnhurst Cemetery. He was survived by his wife, Ella Durham Reeder; a daughter Betty (Jack) Houston; two sons, Claude Jr. and Richard D.; four sisters, Wanda C. (Roy) Roth, Fay T. (James) Dempster, Mary J. (Roscoe) Word and Elma P. (Howard E.) McClellan; brothers Columbus A. “Lum” Reeder and Ross Reeder; 10 grandchildren; and five great-grandchildren.

Pickens is a Vol for life I’ll say this in a soft voice: There isn’t enough happiness in Richard Pickens’ life. The Ol’ Vol has an assortment of problems. Some, estrangement from family, for example, he brought on himself. Some descended on him like a dark cloud. Since retiring as a railroad executive, he’s been in the fourth quarter for what seems like a long time. It could be he is in overtime. He has supposedly been diagnosed with “amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and secondary frontal temporal dementia with pseudobulbar palsy.” Since my medical expertise is in bruises and abrasions, this is out of my pay grade. Some old teammates are convinced the affliction goes back to too many hits with the helmet, too many concussions treated with smelling salts. Pickens was a Tennessee fullback in 1966-68, part battering ram, part bowling ball, leading rusher in the Southeastern Conference as

a senior, 736 tough yards, then the most by a Vol since Hank Lauricella in 1951. Going back to Young High School, Pick was never a tiptoe runner. He was nimble and quick but did not rely on fancy moves. He butted people who got in his way, broke many tackles and probably created some running lanes with intimidation. Pickens still “plays” football with his wonderful collection of friends who (occasionally) stop by his home at Clarity Pointe in Farragut. Sometimes they just talk about big plays, magic moments, precious memories that need to be refreshed. Sometimes they watch old games on Vol Network DVDs. Sometimes they and Richard

go places, to lunch or to see things, and talk some more, going and coming. Mike Miller, Mike Marchant, Larry Brown, Randy Webb, Van Fillingim, Sam Venable and Bobby Waggoner have been part of this support system. Dick Williams, Charlie Rosenfelder and Dewey Warren are in the informal group. There may be a dozen others. Jim McDonald, a teammate at Young High and UT, is a mainstay. He manages Pickens’ pensions and financial matters. McDonald and Pickens go back to the beginning. Their competition to see which was best probably made both better. That their relationship has lasted so long provides a peek into something called “Vol for Life.” That smart term was created as a recruiting tool to help convince prep prospects that Tennessee players are all in this together, once a Vol always a Vol, forever and ever, amen.

Photo by Sara Barrett Several fans embrace the idea. Alas, their lasting commitments sometimes fluctuate, depending on Saturday scores. With former players, it tends to be real. Ol’ Vols hang in there. There is a genuine bond. Former tackle Jerry Holloway has a mailing list of hundreds who share the ups and downs, fishing tales, obituaries, anniversaries, accomplishments by children and grandchildren, news of knee replacements, and other hard-earned aches and pains.
They remain bound together by fellowship, loyalty and the color orange. Pickens was the focal point of such love last week. Distinguished artist Alexander Dumas initiated it. As the story goes, Pickens commissioned a painting 15 or 20 years ago of a favorite play. When he came to claim the finished product, it wouldn’t fit inside his Volkswagen. “Later” was somehow forgotten and Dumas filed his handiwork in a stack of other treasures. He found it

Baton twirling and violin solos may not sound like normal church activities, but they were all a part of Concord United Methodist Church’s talent show on Feb. 23. The youth served double, sometimes triple, duty as they slipped into costumes, pulled out their instruments and microphones, served food and welcomed guests to help raise funds for three upcoming youth mission trips. The organizer behind Concord’s Got Talent is the church’s director of youth,
Jane Currin. In addition to dinner and a show, guests participated in a silent and live auction. Professional auctioneer Elaine Graham made the live auction fun and profitable. “It was a record night with the auction bringing in $20,000,” said Currin. Monies raised will support CUMC’s youth as they travel to Eleuthera in the Bahamas over spring break and partner with Bahamas Methodist habitat. Thirty students and adults will serve in the home repair project.
Also benefiting are the youth’s summer mission projects. This summer, over 50 students will travel to Plymouth, N. C., to help repair homes for the underserved. A choir tour this summer will take them to Richmond, Va., where they will perform in churches, assisted living facilities and children’s homes. “It was a fabulous evening,” said Currin. “A con- The boys clown it up for a picture as they get ready to eat spagregation who loves their ghetti and meatballs.

Students at Webb School of Knoxville’s Lower School displayed the results of their science projects in the school’s gym for the families and fellow students to see. Third graders paired up to explain the Scientific Method, and 4th and 5th graders were encouraged to make up their own experiments. Popular topics were which icing made cupcakes stick to the wall longer; which homemade goo glue was the hardest and which candy fizzed the most when placed in Coke. “I encouraged the 4th and 5th graders to find an experiment in their hobbies,” said science teacher Lisa Davis. “Kids experiment all the time when they’re playing, they just don’t realize it.”

Karns High School sophomore Jake Lee won the high school exhibition tournament of the GEICO Bassmaster Classic in Alabama, which he says is equivalent to the national championship. “My first time in a boat was when I was 3 months old,” said Jake. Fishing is a family tradition for the Lees. Jake’s granddad taught Jake’s dad how to fish, and Jake learned from him. “It’s all I do, 24-7,” he said. At press time, he was preparing to Lee compete in another tournament. According to Jake, the best fishing in this area can be found at Chickamauga Lake near Chattanooga, but it really depends on the time of year. He and his fishing buddy, Clinton High School student Jacob Mashburn, won the exhibition tournament with 5 largemouth bass weighing 21 pounds, 8 ounces.

She is the first and Vincent only female wrestler at HVA. “I grew up with two brothers, and we were always sort of beating each other up,” said Marissa. She reconnected with them her sophomore year when they were on the wrestling team in Cumberland County, and she quickly realized they had learned some new maneuvers. Marissa decided to renew her bond with the boys over
wrestling, and she joined the team when she relocated to HVA. “I didn’t really give my coach an option,” she said of telling HVA wrestling coach Diego Contreras she wanted to compete. “He said, ‘I’m not gonna treat you like a girl’ and I said, ‘good, because I’m not a girl. I’m a wrestler.’” “If you’re gonna do something that isn’t seen as ‘girly’, just go for it. You can’t act like a princess,” said Vin-

‘RUN for the Classics’ 5K race results
M
ore than 450 participants registered for the eighth annual “RUN for the Classics” 5K and one-mile Family Fun Walk at Victor Ashe Park on March 1. The event was a fundraiser held by Paideia Academy and raised $20,000 for the school’s Annual Fund. Nearly 300 runners and walkers completed the 5K course. The top three overall male winners were: Barak Roberts, 18:30; David Shankles, 18:49; and Mike Toney, 19:36. The top three overall female winners were: Micah Roberts, 21:15; Kaleigh Peevy, 22:28; and Lily Dew, 22:31.

Ambassadors took first place honors in the team division. The race was timed by Race Day Results. A complete listing of race results can be found at runfortheclassics.com. Co-directors Becky Crenshaw and Teran Moon chaired the event for the third time and were overwhelmed by the community support. During the opening announcements, Crenshaw said, “This is our largest event to date! We are so thankful for all of you and for the Lord’s provision to our school!” The River 106.1 was the run’s media sponsor and got the participants pumped up with music before the race began. Cool temperatures and overcast skies were perfect running weather. The 5K course featured an out-and-back path through the rolling park, allowing fans to see the runners at multiple spots. The one-mile
course followed the greenway and sidewalks around the soccer fields. The post-race results party offered refreshments from area markets and bakeries. “The bagels and donuts are my favorite part!” said one young runner. This year’s RUN for the Classics drew support from more than 40 local business including: Gold Sponsors Aubrey’s, Pediatric Clinic, Weichert Realtors, John R. Sadler, Realtor; and Silver Sponsors Bob Johnson Insurance, Case Antiques, Go Teez, Studio Arts for Dancers, White Realty and The Woodlands.

Balloon sinuplasty a breath of air for sinus sufferers Nasal steroids. Nasal antihistmaines. Decongestants and antibiotics. If all these things are in your medicine cabinet and you’re still battling recurring sinusitis, Dr. Mark Overholt says you may want to consider balloon sinuplasty. Much like angioplasty opens coronary arteries, balloon sinuplasty utilizes a nonlatex balloon to open the sinuses. First approved by the Food and Drug Administration in 2005, the balloon is delivered via a small catheter up the nasal passageway where it is gently inflated to widen sinuses closed by swelling and inflammation. Once the balloon is deflated and removed, the sinus is clear to drain. “It’s a neat procedure. I was dubious when I first started,” said Overholt, an otolaryngologist with Parkwest Medical Center. “I said I would have to see the data and find out whether this is real or not.” That data, collected via a threeyear randomized, controlled trial sponsored by Entellus Medical, was overwhelmingly convincing. Looking at placebo, traditional endoscopic sinus surgery and balloon sinuplasty at six-month, one-year and three-year intervals, the study concluded that balloon sinuplasty not only works in most cases, but also lessens the risk of recurrence. “The way to look at balloon sinuplasty is that it’s another tool,” said Overholt. “It forces us to look at our sinus patients in a little different manner. There is a patient population that, in the past, may have been under-treated in an attempt to not be overly aggressive.
Mark Overholt, M.D. reports that balloon sinus dilation is an increasingly preferred choice among patients searching for a minimallyinvasive choice with a fast recovery. Now, we have another tool in our toolbox to help treat those people.” Overholt says many are prescribed steroids, antihistamines, decongestants and antibiotics by primary care physicians hesitant to steer patients to a surgical solution. “In many of those cases, I would imagine that the balloon procedures would eliminate their illnesses – put them back in the normal population,” said Overholt. While the success rate of sinuplasty vs. traditional sinus surgery is virtually identical, the sinuplasty patients recover 70 percent faster, require little debridement or removal of cut or damaged tissue (8 percent vs. 74 percent) and
feel better faster (59 percent vs. not subject to recurring infections like you were before because when 38 percent). Perhaps even more telling is you got an allergy attack or a cold that balloon sinuplasty can some- or flu in the past, if you had a realtimes be performed in the doc- ly narrow neck that was ventilattor’s office under local anesthesia. ing the sinus cavity, just a little bit “In the past, when we’ve done of swelling would close it off and sinus operations, we had to take leave the potential for a secondpatients to the operating room to ary infection,” he explained. “But do them. But one of the nice things now, if you balloon dilate it, there about this new balloon procedure is a much more of a safety maris that it opens gin. So if you up potential for get a cold or an us to do office allergy attack procedures for or something, people in some you are open circumstances,” enough that said Overholt. you probably won’t obstruct “We still do a that area with fair number of just normal these in the opswelling so you erating room, don’t have that some of which secondary risk is because they of developing a are paired with Much like angioplasty opens coronary sinus infection other procearteries, balloon sinuplasty utilizes a as frequently as dures which nonlatex balloon to open the sinuses. you did before.” require general Once the balloon is deflated and That’s not to anesthesia.

Heiskell woman breathes easy after balloon sinuplasty Just a breath of air and fewer headaches. That’s all Mae Jacks wanted. But when the Heiskell grandmother broke her nose in a fall last September, she had no idea that the injury would lead to a chain of events that would not only give her back the ability to breathe freely, but also eliminate her migraines, stop her snoring, and return the sense of smell and taste she thought was gone for good. “I wasn’t looking for a miracle, but it looks like I got one,” said Jacks less than a month after Dr. Mark Overholt performed a septoplasty and balloon sinuplasty under general anesthesia at Parkwest Medical Center. It took about a half hour for Overholt to perform the operation in which he not only straightened Jacks’ deviated septum, but also used a catheter to deploy a nonlatex balloon into her sinus passage to open up her nasal airway. Her breathing improved almost immediately. And within a week of the surgery, Jacks said, her long-forgotten sense of smell returned. “I knew this had to be sinus-related because I used to have a great sense of smell,” she said. “But it had gotten to where I couldn’t smell at all. Now I look forward
Mae Jacks describes balloon sinuplasty as “a miracle.” An unexpected side effect of the surgery for Jacks is that her sense of smell returned. to things like when someone says, ‘Let’s have a big dinner.’ Before, I would go, ‘Yeah, yeah’ because I liked to cook. But now, my joy is back because I can smell the food again. I teased Dr. Overholt that now I have to watch what and how much I eat now because everything tastes so good!” Of course, the restored sense of smell also means that she can again detect those less-than-
pleasant odors her husband brings into the house from his workshop. “If I’m in the living room and he comes in through the garage, he can’t even get into the house before I’ll be telling him, ‘You smell like gasoline!’ ” Jacks laughed. “He’s fascinated that I can smell things again. He got away with it for years.” While the restored sense of taste and smell were unexpected gifts, Jacks is elated that she can now breathe easily and has not had a migraine headache since the surgery. She had battled the headaches for years, but they had become worse over the last five. The headaches, usually centered on the right side of her head and accompanied by nausea, were so bad that she would retreat to bed. “I would just ice it, just freeze it,” she said. “It was the only way I could fall asleep. My husband would ask, ‘Is there anything I can do for you?’ And I would say, ‘No, it’s just got to run its course.’ And I probably took too many antibiotics because of it and that’s not good for you either.” In fact, Jacks says the yearslong search for an answer to her recurring sinus infections and headaches was an exasperating journey filled with decongestants, antihistamines, phenegren and over-the-
counter migraine medicine. Most often she found herself in an allergist’s office. “I took allergy shots for many years, and they would give me medicine for my sinuses and stuff. They would try to change my medicine, and a couple of times they would do a CT scan,” she said. “But they always said, ‘Your sinuses look fine.’ Of course, they were not fine.” She even quit wearing her CPAP machine because she felt that it was contributing to her sinus infections. Of course, now that she’s had the surgery, she feels she no longer needs it, particularly since her snoring is gone. Ironically, it took a fall and a broken nose for her to find relief. Overholt says it will take about six weeks for Jacks to fully recover from her surgery because the septoplasty requires follow-up office visits to keep the nasal passages clear of scabbing. Had she only required balloon sinuplasty, Jacks’ recovery would only have been about two days. Regardless, she’s happy with the outcome. “I got a lot more out of this procedure than I ever thought possible,” she says with a laugh. “I thought I was going to have to endure these headaches the rest of my life.”
tomically inaccessible. “If you have chronic sinus infection up here, dilating this area doesn’t do anything for that … that requires a traditional operation to clean out the little honeycombed air cells in the ethmoid cavity that lead to recurring or chronic infection in people.” Polyps, Overholt said, actually form because of recurring infections which inflame the sinuses and cause swelling. “We used to think that was probably allergydriven but most people who have polyps just have a very hyperactive immune system,” he said. “They have an inability to regulate inflammation in the sinus cavity. As a result, as their immune system runs amok trying to fight off invaders, it creates super swelling in the sinus tissue and these little sac-like clusters of swelling that we call polyps, and those polyps end up being physical obstructions of the sinus cavity. They will hold infectious material back in the sinus cavity and prevent you from clearing. And balloon sinuplasty simply doesn’t get rid of the polyps.”
Sinusitis symptoms Sinusitis – also known as rhinosinusitis – is an inflammation of the tissue lining of the sinuses that afflicts millions of people each year.
Common symptoms ■ Facial congestion/fullness ■ Nasal obstruction/blockage ■ Nasal discharge ■ Fever ■ Headaches ■ Fatigue ■ Dental pain ■ Bad breath Normally, sinuses are filled with air, but when sinuses become blocked and filled with fluid, pathogens (bacteria, viruses and fungi) can grow and cause an infection. Structural issues such as narrowed drainage anatomy are often associated with sinusitis.
Affected sinuses There are four types of sinuses – maxillary (behind the cheek bones), ethmoid (between the eyes), frontal (in the forehead) and sphenoid (behind the eyes). All of these sinuses can be affected by sinusitis. The majority of cases involve the maxillary and ethmoid sinuses. Source: EntellusMedical.com

Tom Boduch
With all of the retail and restaurant options at Turkey Creek, it’s hard to choose a favorite. But not for Dr. Tom Boduch. Boduch coordinates the Steinway Society, a group sponsored by the American Piano Gallery. The physician has been a fan of the store since before it existed. When he and his wife, Betty, were building their home in 2001, one of the most important features was a space for a piano. “I bought my piano from Bill Metcalf, owner of the American Piano Gallery, at his Nashville store and became active with the Nashville Steinway Society,” says Boduch. When Metcalf opened his Turkey Creek store, he asked Boduch to start a Steinway Society in Knoxville. “It’s basically a music-appreciation society,” says Boduch. “We have six free concerts a year. We had our first meeting in April 2010. We’ve had classical pianists, jazz, new age, ragtime.” There are no dues to pay, but members sometimes find themselves on the bill. Visiting performers range from international piano stars to students from Pellissippi State Community College, Carson-Newman University and East Tennessee State University. Boduch himself has performed, though his main musical interest right now is composing. A native of Springfield, Mass., Boduch grew up in a working-class family. His grandparents were immigrants from Poland. His father worked in a factory, and his mother cleaned offices. “My father never finished seventh grade, but he built the house I grew up in,” says Boduch. He went to Springfield College and lived at home to save boarding costs. He earned a medical scholarship from the U.S. Air Force and went to medical school at the University of Vermont. After completing his internship in San Antonio, he was assigned to a small base in Syracuse, N.Y., that has since closed. Boduch discovered East Tennessee while passing through on his way to New York from Texas. In 1984, he moved here and worked for an emergency room staffing group for five years. Since 1989, he has had his own private practice in Kingston, but he has never forgotten his love of music, which took root when he played in the orchestra during his school days. “I’ve been interested in music most of my life,” he says. “I started off on the violin, but I was more interested in arranging and composing, so I gravitated toward the pia-

He showed me it is possible for one person to make a difference and change the world. no. I put it aside to pursue medicine.” Medical school didn’t allow time for music, and other outside activities have kept him busy during his professional years. He joined the Masons in 1991 and was chosen as the state grand master a few years ago. He still serves on several committees. He is the past board president of Roane County Habitat for Humanity and has worked on more than 50 Habitat houses. But now that he has the piano of his dreams – and having turned 60 last year – he has returned to his first love. “I try to spend at least an hour on the piano or composing music every day.” He says his style falls under the New Age or adult-contemporary umbrella. “It’s relaxing, soothing and suitable for meditation.” He and his wife have also become concert promoters. They post events and share his music on www.tbconcerts. org. “I expect to release a CD later this year,” he says. “This will be my first one of original music. The working title is ‘My Musical Renaissance.’” Sit back and have a Coffee Break as you get to know Tom Boduch.
