Messing with the school board

Something about the school board not being subject to term limits is an itch other local politicians can’t stop trying to scratch.

“Why should they be above any other elected official in the county?” asked Commissioner Mike Brown, one of the most persistent advocates of term limits for school board members.

Persistence paid off when A.L. Lotts Elementary School teacher Karla Fultz entered Oak Ridge Associated Universities’ Extreme Classroom Makeover for the third time. She won $25,000 to spend on technology for her 5th grade classroom.

Fultz is excited, but also overwhelmed. She plans to devote much of her time over the next few weeks to learning how to use the new equipment. She may not be savvy when it comes to electronics, but her creativity shines through in the video she wrote for the ORAU contest, which is on the consortium’s website.

Although he grew up in Houston in a large family with an absentee father, Singletary is grateful for what he had, especially the adults who pulled him through the tough times.

They included family members, coaches and even a college English professor.

Committee applauds beautification

By Suzanne Foree Neal The Farragut Landscape and Beautification Committee toured the town recently making note of all things eye-appealing where landscaping is concerned. It is an annual trip they make to choose the winners of the beautification awards, which are presented to some of the town’s best-looking properties – from subdivisions to businesses.

Winners were announced at the June 13 meeting of the Farragut Board of Mayor and Aldermen. The winners are: Residential entrance: Fox Den. An iron gate between two brick pillars is adorned with, appropriately enough, foxes. An array of white blooms mix with green to give the entrance a park-like setting.

Commercial/office building: Jefferson Federal Bank.

The red-brick colonial style building has a landscaped circle in front with flowers and greenery.

Fox Den’s entrance won accolades from Farragut’s Landscape and Beautifi cation Committee for combining a fox-adorned iron gate with lots of greenery and white flowering shrubs for a park-like setting. Photos

Sheriff’s race starts early and mean

By Betty Bean On June 6, 2012, a dozen deputies showed up at Don Wiser’s DUI school to take him to jail.

On June 6, 2013, Wiser sent a letter to the county mayor, the law director and every member of county commission announcing his candidacy for sheriff and accusing incumbent Sheriff Jimmy “J.J.” Jones of abusing the department’s drive-home vehicle policy by keeping four cars, including a $70,000 Jack Roush R3 Mustang, for his personal use. He also accused Jones of allowing employees who live in surrounding counties to drive Knox County vehicles home overnight.

“That was D-Day, Honey. And I’m declaring war,” Wiser said.

Jones denied Wiser’s accusations and called the retired Knoxville Police Department investigator a liar.

“In looking at the letter Wiser

wrote, the only truthful statement I found was that I do have a marked vehicle at my house because often I ride patrol,” Jones said. “Everything else as far as I know is untrue.

And since he stated he is a candidate for sheriff, it is my personal opinion that he is misinformed and as a former law enforcement officer is a disgrace to any man or woman who has ever worn a badge.”

KCSO public information officer Martha Dooley released a list of the department’s fleet, which did not include any of the vehicles Wiser mentioned.

The county finance office was unable to shed much light on the situation since the fleet list does not report vehicles purchased with drug fund money or seized from drug dealers. When asked if KCSO has a high end Mustang classified as a drug enforcement vehicle, Dooley refused to comment.

cause we get into safety and security issues,” she said. “Some vehicles are part of drug enforcement and are confidential, with no taxpayer money involved.”

This is an argument that goes back to the days when then-County Commissioner Wanda Moody filed a raft of lawsuits against then-Sheriff Tim Hutchison in an attempt to force him to be accountable to county commission for large expenditures. She won on 18 of the 19 points she made, and Hutchison was convicted of criminal contempt for withholding information.

Moody’s lawyer, Herb Moncier, says he knows nothing about the current sheriff’s policies, but takes a dim view of the historic “veil of secrecy” surrounding drug fund money.

“There’s no secret down there as to who has what car. The problem used to be, they didn’t want

They’ve got to have insurance on those cars, and all of that’s public information. There may be some limited circumstances as to why a particular person might not want to be identified as driving a particular car, but that’s so limited.”

Wiser, who is a state-certified driver’s safety and drug awareness instructor whose students are offenders referred by the court system, shut down his business after being charged with falsely certifying that a student had completed 16 hours of court-ordered safe driving classes. In June, he was charged with tampering with and fabricating evidence, a Class C felony.

The case is currently mired in motions, and Wiser says he will work full time on campaigning for sheriff.

were at a business luncheon.

What are the top three things on your bucket list?

Get my Ph.D. See a Broadway musical.

Traverse the bridge that spans across the Sydney, Australia, harbor.

What is one word others use to describe you?

I think “soothing” fits me. I tend to have a very calm disposition.

If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?

Conquer my self-doubt.

What is your passion?

Jana Kadovitz

Being drawn to the spiritual and holistic aspects of life, Jana Kadovitz had to have a sense of “meant to be” as she moved to West Knoxville in July 2012. The Los Angeles native felt the time was right to leave California, but the job she had learned about in Knoxville was already filled.

“My mother had passed, and I knew inside that it was time for me to move on,” says Jana, who is an acupuncturist with the University of Tennessee Medical Center’s Cancer Institute and is in private practice. “I heard about the job as head acupuncturist with the integrated health team with the Cancer Institute, but it had already been filled when I investigated.”

Knoxville seemed right for her, however, and she stayed focused on making the move. “At the last minute, they lost their acupuncturist, and I was contacted about the job.”

Jana now works two days a week with the team, helping cancer patients, their families and caregivers as they work toward being healthy again.

“It is a privilege to be part of this holistic approach,” says Jana. “Since February, I have been working with patients who are going through chemo, working with doctors as we look at the side effects of the medicines and treatments, and working with family members as well. I tell my patients, ‘I am here to help you, but I am just walking with you through this journey.’ They are the ones working to get back to good health. I help them stay calm, trust and have faith that they will be healthy again.”

Jana was a very athletic child who grew up with a twin brother and an older brother. “As the only daughter, I learned early how to be strong – mentally and physically,” she says with a laugh. “I was being groomed to compete in the Olympics in gymnastics, played soccer and swam from an early age. Even though I was young, I began to have some serious arthritis issues in my knees, so I gave up the gymnastics.”

Her mother taught her a love of reading, she says, and it was that love that led to a path of discovery. “I have always been an avid reader and love learning about the spiritual and psychological parts of our lives. I got my bachelor’s degree in behavioral science from San Jose University. That area of study includes psychology, sociology and anthropology. For my master’s, I trained in traditional Chinese Oriental medicine in Santa Monica. When I began that area of study, I knew I was in the right place.”

The “helping” aspect of her career is what draws her to it, says Jana. “I love working with people, helping them feel better. There is always an emotional component when you can help someone with their pain. It is an honor to walk with

My mother. She passed two years ago in October, and I would like to see her again.

Other than your parents, who has had the biggest influence on your life and why?

It is more of a collective of people and their passions. I have been influenced in my life by the lives and works of people like Gandhi, Buddha and Mother Teresa – as well as others who have made a positive mark on this planet.

I still can’t quite get the hang of …

Anything mathematically related.

What is the best present you ever received in a box?

A watch my parents gave me for high school graduation. someone toward healing and be a part of that process.”

Single, “with two kitty cats,” Jana says she is enjoying both the people and the physical area of Farragut. “It is so beautiful here,” she says. “Everything is so green and fresh.

And the people have been so overwhelmingly welcoming that it is unbelievable.”

A new turn of a phrase Jana first heard in her interactions with Tennesseans has become part of her vocabulary.

“People here say, ‘I appreciate you.’ I had never heard that before, and it really resonated with me. I love it, and I keep passing it forward.”

In her private practice on North Martinwood in West Knoxville, Jana practices Reiki methods as well as acupuncture. Sit and have a Coffee Break as you get to know Jana Kadovitz:

A labor of love

By Sara Barrett Students at Farragut High School will now have a sunny spot to study and wait for the bus together thanks to ongoing help from their classmates and some assistance from the community.

Labors of Love is a project started a few years ago by the school’s Leadership Initiative class and the Interact Club.

Class of 2013 graduate Sarah Lutz and upcoming senior Marieli Valencia accepted the responsibility of carry-

ing on the work during this past school year. The goal of completing the project has now been handed over to this coming year’s FLI class members.

“Since it’s a big project, we need all the help we can get,” said Lutz.

She became interested in the project while working with students in the special needs class at FHS. “They would wait outside for the bus, and right next to them was a brick wall

that was just falling apart,” said Lutz.

The area – located in front of the CTE building – was previously part of a child care class that is no longer being taught at the school.

Ground cover was in poor condition, and there was no landscaping. If a student wanted to wait outside, standing or sitting on the sidewalk or off the curb was the only option.

Thanks to students, completed improvements to the outdoor area include the removal of the brick wall, installation of new picnic tables donated by

Home Depot and plants donated by Cedar Row Nursery.

Play Rite will donate artificial turf to replace pine needles that are now covering the space, but even with a big break on the price and Play Rite covering a big part of the costs, the students still must raise another $3,000. They plan to continue fundraising efforts until they reach their goal. Farragut Rotary recently helped with a donation of $1,000.

Lutz said the outdoor space isn’t just for a certain group of students at Farragut

government Audio/video necessary in police cars The unfortunate news that three Knoxville city police officers had pleaded guilty on June 10 to state charges of beating and kicking a handcuffed, mentally ill person might never have happened without the installation of audio and video equipment in police cars which provides complete, irrefutable evidence to what happened when charges of excessive force or brutality occur.

Victor Ashe

This equipment was installed on my watch as mayor after a series of events in which three African Americans died separately in police custody in just over a year. The most publicized was the Andre Stinson case.

Many of the accusations which arose during these tragic events boiled down to a case of “he said, you said” between two persons with no reliable way to determine the facts. However, once there was a film and tape of what happened, then one could not deny what was on tape or film.

In the vast majority of cases, the police officers behaved appropriately and the film/tape upheld their actions. In this case, what happened was shameful, excessive and brutal. The tape/film spoke clearly as to what happened. There was no doubt.

Police Chief David Rausch punished all of those involved, including superiors who failed to review the video as well as others who lied in reports or failed to review all of the available in-cruiser video before approving the officers’ actions.

Lt. Brad Anders, who received a written reprimand, is also a Knox County commissioner. A year ago he came within one vote of being elected chair of the County Commission. How this may impact his future political endeavors is unclear, but it is a negative.

The video/audio equipment comes with a cost to taxpayers. When first purchased in 1998 it was a VHS system which cost in the $1 million range. In 2003, this system was replaced with Mobile Vision VHS system with a comparable cost.

Four years later, in 2007,

the system was replaced with a Digital System at a cost of $1.6 million. Annual maintenance runs around $60,000 according to Chief Rausch.

Rausch stated, “It is a very important and worthwhile expenditure. The majority of the time, the video protects the officer to show that they are doing their jobs correctly and professionally under some very extremely difficult situations.”

It might also be stated that this gives the Department credibility in that complaints will be handled seriously and acted on when inexcusable conduct occurs as it did here. What Judge Steve Sword will do in terms of sentencing on Aug. 8 is unknown.

However, Chief Rausch did what he could to correct a clear wrong by those sworn to uphold the law.

■ On a different legal front, TVA has thrown in the towel on its twoyear-old dress code for those attending TVA public hearings by rescinding this policy. However, plaintiffs like attorney Chris Irwin, who wore facial paint and was barred from a TVA hearing, insist the federal court needs to bar TVA from issuing a new policy which may be similar to the old policy. TVA needs all the friends it can secure as the Obama Administration suggests major changes including possible sale.

This dress code issue is still in federal court and a final decision has not been made. It is hard to explain why TVA ever embarked on such an infringement of free speech.

■ Special Justice Morris Kizer, former Knoxville city law director, will be one of five persons to hear the John Hooker lawsuit attacking the current selection procedure for state Supreme Court justices. It is set for July 19 at 1 p.m. CST in Nashville in the Supreme Court chambers. Kizer was appointed by Gov. Bill Haslam.

Messing with the school board Something about the school board not being subject to term limits is an itch other local politicians can’t stop trying to scratch.

“Why should they be above any other elected official in the county?” asked Commissioner Mike Brown, one of the most persistent advocates of term limits for school board members.

In April, County Commission approved a resolution directing state Rep. Ryan Haynes (as chair of the legislative delegation) to ask the Legislature’s lawyers to figure out how term limits could be imposed on the school board. Last week Haynes reported back with the answer – and it wasn’t the one the commissioners hoped to hear.

“If we wanted to enact term limits, we’d have to change the general law,” Haynes said. “And that’s not going to pass the General Assembly. If you want to im-

Betty Bean plement it in Knox County, you have to have a rational basis as to why Knox County should be singled out as the only county that can do this.”

But the commissioners probably already knew this, because it was clearly spelled out in Jordan v.

Knox County – the lawsuit filed in 2007 by six county commissioners who wanted to overturn a state Supreme Court ruling that the 1994 term limits referendum was valid.

They succeeded locally, which allowed most of them to run for re-election that August. But they got shot down by the Court of Appeals, leading most people to believe that the argument

was over. Since then, many have taken exception to the school board’s non-termlimited status.

The document Haynes brought back cites the Jordan decision, which ruled that “general law of the state pre-empts the imposition of term limits for any school board member.”

His Nashville lawyers kept hope alive with a couple of longshot possibilities: drawing up a term limits bill that applies only to school boards in counties with charter governments (Knox and Shelby), or devising a bill of local application for Knox County only. But the Nashville lawyers snatched those slim hopes away in the next paragraph: “The Legislature shall have no power to suspend any general law for the benefit of any particular individual, nor to pass any law for the benefit of individuals inconsistent with the gen-

eral laws of the land.”

Haynes sounded like he’s ready to leave this issue alone.

“The Jordan decision said Knox County couldn’t bind the school board or the judiciary (with term limits).

I’m happy to help, but their legal department could have told them the same thing I told them.”

But that doesn’t mean efforts to mess with the school board have ended.

Knox County Republican Party chair Ruthie Kuhlman, in a recent letter to GOP club presidents, listed five “core principles” to which GOP candidates should adhere: 1. Partisan school board races 2. Term limits for school board 3. County/city debt 4. Elected superintendent 5. Using local industries/ contractors.

Republicans plan picnics Knox County Republicans will gather at Fountain City Park from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, July 20, for the countywide GOP picnic, hosted this year by the Halls Republican Club.

The event will feature activities for children along with badminton, croquet, horseshoes and live entertainment. A call has gone out for those wishing to show off their talents onstage for the

large crowd expected to attend.

West Knox Republican Club has scheduled its big annual family picnic and cake auction for 6 p.m.

Monday, July 8, at Rothchild on Kingston Pike.

Elected officials and candidates for office will compete to see whose baked goods will raise the most money for party coffers. There will be games outside for children.

FARRAGUT Shopper news • JUNE 17, 2013 • A-5

Noise ordinance slips quietly away as green grass vs. peace and quiet Farragut Board of Mayor and Aldermen member Ron Honken calls it “the beast,� but he’s never heard it roar.

Lucy Gwozdz and several of her Oakmont Circle neighbors in Fox Den subdivision call it a noise nuisance that drowns out their peaceful surroundings. “It� is a looming industrial-type fan just 100 feet from Gwozdz’s house that is used to cool the No. 3 green at Fox Den Country Club during summer’s hottest weather.

Complaints about “the beast� led the Farragut BOMA to discuss the possibility of creating a noise ordinance during a workshop session prior to the June 13 meeting.

Gwozdz said it was unfortunate the board took up the issue on June 13 because two other neighbors were out of town, as was her husband.

She was left to plead their case. The homeowners have been proactive in collecting data, however. They used

Suzanne Foree Neal

decibel meters to measure the noise level from their homes.

As an example, Gwozdz showed photos of the fan and said meter readings were 81 from her bedroom and even louder outside. She noted that if she lived under Knox County ordinances, the fan would have to be removed because it is louder than the allowed 70 decibels cited in the Knox County noise ordinance.

Gary Siddons, Fox Den club president, said he has met with the group and is willing to try to work something out to muffle the noise, but the fan is staying because the club has an investment to

protect. Scott Severance, golf course superintendent, said he is exploring what could be done but told the board some solutions would void the warranty on the fan, a “very expensive� piece of equipment.

Apparently the fans are becoming the norm for courses in hot climates.

A metal shield or row of trees might muffle the sound, but Siddons noted that usually when people buy a house facing the golf course, they want the view. He said normally the fans are only needed in July and August. Gwozdz says the fan noise makes for lots of sleepless nights. “If I sell this house, I have to disclose the noise from the fan,� she noted. “We need an ordinance to protect residents from noise.�

Honken said he was the one who asked town staff to draft a noise ordinance just to see what it might contain but also noted that it may never make it to board

for a vote. Knox County has one, but doesn’t enforce it in Farragut because the town writes its own ordinances.

Assistant town administrator Gary Palmer pulled language from towns similar to Farragut and put together a draft.

The biggest problem with Farragut writing a noise ordinance is enforcement, said the aldermen. There is no town police force to enforce it, and there’s no staff working past 5 p.m. Violators could be cited to court, but the most an infraction could cost would be $50. “Our codes officials aren’t trained to handle this kind of issue, and I think it’s better left in the hands of law enforcement,� Palmer said.

When asked about a history of noise complaints, Palmer said there have been few. Some neighbors objected to bells rung at St. John Neumann Catholic Church, one recently complained about a rooster crowing and another

Lucy Gwozdz shows members of the Farragut Board of Mayor and Aldermen photos of a fan used on the No. 3 green at Fox Den near her home. She says noise from the fan, used to cool the grass on the green, is disturbing her peace and that of at least two neighbors. Photo by S.F. Neal about a loud car. A compromise was reached with the church, something Palmer hopes will happen between Fox Den and residents.

Honken echoed that sentiment. “The issue is one fan on one hole,� he said. “Maybe Fox Den could consider something simple like running the fan from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and

not to exceed a certain decibel level. Fans are on golf courses everywhere, but I understand the need to have peace of mind.�

For now, the idea of a noise ordinance for Farragut isn’t reaching a high enough decibel level with board members to warrant any official consideration.

Budget time: Revenues down but budget still adds up

By Suzanne Foree Neal Farragut’s Board of Mayor and Aldermen got a first look at the final version of the town’s FY2014 budget June 13. As usual, there will be some money left over for a rainy day.

When one adds up revenue from assorted taxes, building permits and licenses, traffic enforcement fines, rent, recreation fees and a few other things, total revenue is projected to be $8,125,547, down a little from this year.

Total expenditures to keep the town running ring in at $6,185,519 leaving a fund balance of $4,910,073.

Local and state sales tax revenue is a combined $5,754,070, the largest chunk of revenue for the town.

As the town has added more parks, trails and recreation areas, more money is needed to keep things looking spiffy. Public works gets approximately $1.6 million, the most money of any department. Along with personnel costs, there will be some new equipment.

The town will spend just over $3.7 million for employee wages and benefits. It employs 47 full-time, eight parttime and 13 seasonal workers.

After shopping around for a new insurance carrier, the town settled on Blue Cross Blue Shield. Town administrator David Smoak said he expected to see an increase but was surprised when the bid came in at no increase. With changes to

the health insurance industry kicking in next year, he said he is glad to get at least a one-year reprieve before things change. Since the town pays 100 percent of the cost for employees, there will be some extra cash in the coffers this round.

The budget allows $33,500 for travel to a couple of Tennessee Municipal League conferences, two National League of Cities conferences and the International Conference of Shopping Centers.

Community grants totaling $11,000 will go to six organizations.

Education support is included in the budget as well. Farragut High School Foundation and Hardin Valley Acad-

emy Foundation each get $10,000 while Farragut primary, intermediate, middle and high schools and Hardin Valley Academy each get $22,000.

The town will chip in $10,000 to be a partner in Innovation Valley, will set aside funding to boost economic development and will earmark money for a tourism marketing and branding program.

Smoak said he’s been talking with the Tennessee Department of Transportation to see what can be done to beautify the Campbell Station Road/Interstate 40/75 interchange. “That’s the only change in the Capital Improvement

Plan (CIP),� he said. “We may be able to add plantings, but they won’t let us put up a sign.� The budget has a $40,000 line item set aside for that. Everett Road improvements from Union to Smith roads total $3.5 million, which is the largest capital expenditure.

Smoak concluded his presentation by noting, “It’s a balanced budget that meets our needs.� The board passed it on first reading.

The board also passed on first reading an amendment to the Farragut Zoning Ordinance to adopt the latest flood study of Turkey Creek and North Fork Turkey Creek and to update regulations accordingly.

Town attorney Tom Hale asked for an executive session. When the group returned, the board voted to approve a settlement with contractor Christopoulos & Kennedy over problems with the splash pad at McFee Park Phase II. The total contract was $1,577,203 of which $1,479,202.82 had been paid, leaving an unpaid balance of $98,000.35.

Under the agreement, Farragut will pay C&K Construction $27,000 and subcontractor Splash Zone will pay C&K $13,000. All parties will sign releases. The town will have to find another contractor to fix several problems with the system.

Website to honor Chuck Rohe Against the backdrop of Tennessee’s three-fourths of one point and the exciting tie for 77th place in NCAA track and field, I offer this brief insight into how things used to be.

“What the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve.”

That was one of Napoleon Hill’s hallmark expressions. It applies to Chuck Rohe.

If you never heard of Hill, you can look him up – Pound, Va., author, journalist, attorney, philosopher.

If you don’t know about Rohe, you missed a magnificent chapter in Volunteer history.

Because I believe in miracles, I have sometimes wondered if Rohe was one.

Marvin West

He seemingly came out of nowhere, with boundless energy and maybe genius intellect, took over a Tennessee track team that was below zero, somehow assembled an array of champion athletes, drove them relentlessly and collected a cluster of trophies, medals and ribbons.

His Vols routed Southeastern Conference foes, trampled them so badly some schools were embar-

rassed. Programs were upgraded in self-defense.

Some, including Alabama, were forced to build a track.

Football funded it. Paul “Bear” Bryant resented that.

Because track coaches didn’t get paid much back then, Rohe added a second job, football recruiting coordinator for Doug Dickey.

Chuck is directly linked to Richmond Flowers and Chip Kell. His concept of dual-sport stars led to Karl Kremser, Willie Gault, Ron Widby and Condredge Holloway.

Chuck didn’t stay long at Tennessee, 1962-1971, but long enough to go 87-10 in dual meets and win an astonishing 21 consecutive SEC titles – indoor, outdoor and cross-country. Six

Heavy lifting “Now is the judgment of this world; now the ruler of this world will be driven out. And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.”

He said this to indicate the kind of death he was to die.

(John 12: 32-33 NRSV) Once the light dawned in my head I could no longer not see it!

The church I have been attending since my marriage is a small church, pastored by a young smart-as-a-whip preacher who (as nearly as I can tell) hits a home run every Sunday morning.

REUNIONS ■ Flatford family reunion will be held 1 p.m. Saturday, July 6, at Big Ridge Elementary School gym, 3420 Hickory Valley Road, Maynardville. Bring covered dishes and drinks, along with family documents

I tell you that to explain that it is because of his engrossing sermons that I had missed the import of the picture and its caption.

Above the altar, behind the pulpit, is a picture of Jesus. That is not unusual in churches. However, underneath this particular picture

is the verse I quoted above, in a slightly different translation: “I, if I be lifted up, will draw all men unto me.”

It is one of my favorite verses because it makes me believe that God’s love and grace are powerful enough, and big enough, and comprehensive enough, and forgiving enough to gather us all in. All. All of us. A lot of

and photos to share and musical instruments to play.

times his teams finished in the NCAA top 10. He was once national coach of the year. He served on the U.S. Olympic Committee.

He went on to more rewarding things, with Charley Coffey to Virginia Tech, into event promotion with Pace Management and on to Orlando to resurrect the Tangerine Bowl and lead it to fancy new names, great TV ratings and significant riches.

Rohe ventured into the World Football League as an owner and administrator but we won’t go there. That he was actually able to sell his franchise may have been another miracle.

In semi-retirement, he is executive vice president and national director of Nike Coach of the Year Clinics.

Each year they attract more than 10,000 football coaches to 20 sites across America.

President of that project is a

familiar name, John Majors.

Rohe’s former track and field Vols have been searching for a way to honor their coach and say thank you for leadership at a crucial time in their lives. They didn’t like some of it at the time but they cherish it and him now.

Remember: What the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve.

“In our pursuit to preserve the legacy and history of the Rohe era, we will build a website,” said former distance runner Coppley Vickers.

It will be a repository for old Vols to post formal expressions of appreciation, adventure stories, tall tales and maybe a few lies. Dr. Tom Scott of shot put fame will do the definitive audio/video history, Rohe reminiscing.

Former UT sports information director Bud Ford will create a records section with times, heights and distances

of distinction.

There will be a keepsake photo album, even the classic Bill Dyer cartoon of the Vols pushing the team bus when it ran out of gas.

Rohe’s motivational slogans will be treated as treasures.

One of my long-ago descriptions of the coach might get into an obscure corner: “Chuck Rohe was and is a poster person for the power of positive thinking. He loves life, doesn’t want to miss any and drags reluctant others along for the joy ride. Always up before the crack of dawn, he has stretched the truth as needed and greeted each morning with ‘What a day!’”

That might be good enough for the website. Maybe I’ll have a little talk with the planning committee. I know those guys.

people disagree with me on that point, and that is their privilege, but that is what I believe.

And, in my own defense, I missed the larger meaning because the Gospel writer said what he thought it meant: “He said this to indicate the kind of death he was to die.” Okay, so that is what I have always thought that comment intended to say. Jesus was predicting his method of execution: lifted up on a cross, in one of the most hideous forms of torture the Romans could concoct.

But as I sat in church last Sunday, I read those words again, looked at the picture

of Jesus’ face, and my heart heard a completely different message. It stopped me in my mental tracks.

“If I be lifted up….”

And who will lift up Jesus?

Me? You? The church?

Who? The questions kept flooding my soul. What have I done or said recently that lifted up Jesus? Have I worshipped him? Adored him?

Have I done anything to show my Savior to a hurting, hungry world?

Then the questions got harder.

Have I obeyed him? Have I followed him?

And harder still: Can any-

one see any glimmer of Jesus in my life? What have I done or said that brought him down, instead of lifting him up?

We sing the great hymn “Lift High the Cross,” and it never fails to stir my heart.

But what if we – you and I – lifted up the Christ instead? By our actions, our words, our listening, our faith, our constancy, can we lift him up, so that all the world may see and know that “he is Lord of Lords and King of Kings”? (Revelation 17:14) Can we lift him up so that he can draw all men and women unto himself?

O Lord, let it be so.

By merging our SAM system and our extensive experience with the aging in place concept, seniors can enjoy a more comfortable experience in their home. Adult children and caregivers gain peace of mind through continued updates of their loved one’s activities, all for less than one month of assisted living.

Aging in place refers tto remaining i i where you live, as opposed to a health care environment, assisted living or nursing home.

Through the use of specially designed systems and services, you can remain in your home as your circumstances change.

You continue to live safely and independently as you get older.

What is the SAM system?

SAM stands for Senior Activity Monitor. It is a system that has the ability to constantly monitor various activities in almost any environment. Each activity can then be reported via email, text, or phone call to a loved one or other caregiver. A person’s activity, or lack thereof, is a direct indicator of their well being. Of course, no system is a replacement for actual care of another person, but the SAM system can provide peace of mind during day to day routines.

Each system is customized for your specific needs.

Call us today to set up a free consultation where we can review your concerns and design a SAM solution specifically for you!

Street scenes

Michael Williams’ art makes social, spiritual statement

In this example of Michael Williams’ street art, his painting of a little boy on a cardboard cutout is placed in a field of flowers and arrows. This installation was in Chiang Rai, Thailand, and features a young boy he met at an orphanage. Photos submitted

By Ashley Baker Michael Aaron Williams, 24, wants to influence people worldwide with his artwork. He already has a good start. His artwork has been installed in 13 different countries including England, Austria, Thailand, China, Egypt, Italy, Costa Rica and more. The unusual thing about Williams’ art, however, is that it is not usually found in galleries, although he does have gallery pieces and shows. The other aspect of his work is what he calls his “social experiment” or street art.

Williams takes his art work and weaves an installation around it on the street, in marketplaces, at tourist venues – anywhere he feels fits the pieces.

“Street art is basically utilizing public space and installing artwork in order for it to interact with the public on the streets rather than solely in a gallery format,” Williams says. “Every culture reacts

differently, and I find that fascinating.”

His cardboard cutout artwork is left on the streets, and he hopes to deliver a message through this medium. “Most of the work I put on the street depicts the homeless or street children. It is making the analogy that these street people around the world are fragile and need to be protected and loved or else they will be destroyed by life on the streets.”

The work itself is fragile, says Williams. “When I paint a picture of a street child and attach it to a wall, it becomes vulnerable. At any moment, a person could come and tear it down or a storm could destroy it. It is just paint and ink on cardboard, attached to a wall or ground using only heavy duty mounting tape. This makes it vulnerable, but it also gives it hope. If someone really likes the artwork then they can take it off the wall and into their home.”

Called “halo girl,” this piece by Michael Williams was placed on the street in Bangkok, Thailand.

This painting in Malta has a child holding a flower with the Mediterranean Sea as the backdrop.

Williams’ faith is the catalyst for his work.

“Nothing satisfies like a relationship with Jesus, and that life seems unfulfilled without loving God

and loving other people,” he explains. “I love artwork that points towards God through symbolism or through creative means.

I aim to plant a seed in

someone’s head of an aspect of God.” Williams wants people to search out the meaning in order to leave room for God to interact with them through their relationship with the artwork. For Williams, the mystery of metaphor is part of the experience. “If I figure something out on my own, it sticks with me longer than if someone just lays it all out for me. I think that this is the same reason Jesus taught through parables. He wanted us to dig out that meat that He had hidden in those stories,” says Williams.

Williams creates most of his art in his garage which has been transformed into a studio. “I have to wear a coat in the winter and drink lots of water in the summer, but it is a great space,” Williams says. The scope of his art is broad, including painting, drawing, mixed media and even sculptural work.

Williams has always loved making things with

his hands. Christian Academy of Knoxville art teacher Barbara Johnson first spotted the potential in Williams and encouraged him to pursue art. Williams took the encouragement and began to create more art. “It wasn’t until I was in high school that I began to create more artwork. And in college is where I became serious about it as a career path.”

Continuing to pursue art, Williams attended Samford University to study fine arts and is anticipating starting work toward a master’s in fine arts at Washington University.

It was as a student at Samford where he first began to put his art on the streets of Birmingham. Williams hopes to continue to travel with his wife and would like to teach art at the collegiate level.

A walk on the east side Week two with the Shopper interns

By Sara Barrett The Shopper News interns took a “walk on the east side” last week during a visit with a feathered resident of the Knoxville Zoo, a trip to TDOT’s traffic management center, lunch at local treasure Chandler’s Restaurant and a tour of Beck Cultural

Exchange Center … with a couple of stops in between.

Shopper News publisher Sandra Clark, photographer Ruth White and reporter Sara Barrett demonstrated note taking, photography and keeping both feet firmly on the ground (sorry, Sandra).

The ‘know it all’ at Knoxville Zoo If you have only 30 minutes to spend at one of Knoxville’s most beloved tourist attractions, what is the one thing to see?

According to Tina Rolen and Nikki Edwards from the Knoxville Zoo, Congo African Grey Parrot Einstein is the “go to” bird for all

things comical and entertaining.

Edwards, the zoo’s lead trainer and presenter of shows, said Einstein can repeat about 85 sounds on command and knows hundreds more from his surroundings. Only one of four parrots like Einstein can talk, and

he is a popular feature of the “Animals in Action” show held daily at the zoo.

The interns called out different animals for Einstein to mimic including a chimpanzee and an elephant, although the 26-year-old parrot just replied with the word

“Aflac” when Edwards asked what would make him feel safe if he saw a herd of elephants coming his way.

Rolen, the zoo’s assistant director of marketing, also gave the group a scoop on a new exhibit opening in July: the Williams

Family Giraffe Experience will allow zoo visitors to get up close with giraffes and feed them by hand. Details to come.

Rolen said the zoo sees 400,000 visitors each year. “The only other attraction in Knoxville that brings in more people is UT football.”

Traffic with TDOT After a quick sprint to the car, the group headed to TDOT’s Region 1 headquarters at Strawberry Plains for a crash course (no pun intended) in traffic monitoring.

Community relations officer Mark Nagi gave the interns access to a restricted area where a wall of 18 flatscreen televisions and three operators keep all eyes on traffic flow throughout Knox County.

Dean Roberts (his Twitter account says he provides IT support for the Intelligent Transportation System here in town) said there are similar systems in Chattanooga, Memphis and Nashville. This one opened in May of 2005.

Roberts said the monitoring system includes 50 miles of fiber optic network, The interns visit the TDOT traffic management center to see the city from a different perspective.

Chowing down at Chandler’s

By Ruth White Chandler’s isn’t the biggest restaurant in town, but it’s worth the wait in line to eat some of the tastiest comfort food in East Tennessee.

During a recent football season when ESPN came to town for College Game Day, the crew polled students at UT to find out their favorite Knoxville eating place.

Chandler’s won hands down, so the crew spent three days visiting the establishment and ordering food for the day. Unknown to the Chandlers, the crew was sampling the menu before returning on day four to reveal their intentions. Chandler’s Deli

was featured on College Game Day and the popularity of the restaurant soared.

It’s not hard to understand why they are packed at lunchtime or why they have won numerous awards for having the Best Comfort Food, Best Soul Food and Best Meat and Three in town. The portions are hearty, and one bite will take you back to a place of warm fuzzy memories.

While visiting the restaurant, I tried the rotisserie chicken, homemade mac and cheese and a yeast roll.

Everything tasted just like it was prepared – with fresh ingredients and a lot of love. Charles H. and Gwen Chandler behind the counter at

A visit to Chandler’s

By Gibson Calfee Chandler’s Deli is an interesting restaurant with a lot of history. It all started in 1997 when Gwen Chandler got laid off from the Levi’s factory in Knoxville because they were relocating.

Then in 2000, Gwen’s husband Charles H. Chandler retired from his job at K-25. They wanted to do something else for whichthey both had a passion: cooking. Thus, Chandler’s was born.

Charles Chandler said “Without her, Gwen, there would be no Chandler’s.”

Since its opening on May 19, 2000, Chandler’s Deli has had many special guests come and enjoy the Southern-style cooking. Guests

have included former Green Bay Packer Raleigh McKenzie, Tennessee football player Eric Berry, former Tennessee football coach Derek Dooley, Gov. Bill Haslam and former “Voice of the Vols” John Ward.

Mark Nagi of the Tennessee Department of Transportation

The cameras are real-time only, Roberts said. TDOT does not record traffic. “We try to identify things before they become real problems,” said Roberts. TDOT runs the system 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

He wants everyone to “know before you go” by checking TDOT’s website or by calling 511 for the latest traffic alerts.

The roots of our heritage

By Joshua Mode Whenever you think of African-American history, who do you think of? One person that might come to mind is Alex Haley.

Alex Haley was born in New York, on Aug. 11, 1921, but he grew up with his family in Henning, Tenn.

He later went into the Coast Guard for 20 years and was ranked petty officer firstclass, one of few openings African Americans had at the time.

During his time in the Coast Guard, Haley also taught himself the craft of

writing stories. It is said he was paid by other sailors to write love letters to their girlfriends. He retired from the Coast Guard in 1959.

In 1976, Haley published the best-selling novel “Roots: The Saga of an American Family,” which is a story about his family’s heritage going all the way back to Africa and their incredible journey.

My dad is considered the “Alex Haley” of our family due to all his genealogy research. In a way, Haley inspired my dad. So as I

looked at the grand monument to him, I could see how he has done so much for our country. He sparked the nation’s curiosity to find their heritage again and see who they once were.

This monument stands for many things. Aside from breaking boundaries in being the second-tallest African-American monument in the world, it also is a tribute to finding your roots, and daring to try an adventure.

In the words of Alex Haley, “Find the good and praise it.”

A black history timeline by Allen Jones was recently installed inside the Beck Cultural Exchange Center. Photo

Beck Cultural Exchange Center After a visit to the Alex Haley statue and Morningside Park, the interns stopped at Beck Cultural Exchange Center to learn about the history of local African-Americans.

The facility has more than 5,000 square feet with archives that include pictures, books, artifacts and DVDs. The original model of the Alex Haley statue is housed there.

Beck archivist and tour guide Timothy Vasser showed us a number of original works by local African-American artists and several pieces of memorabilia from Knoxville’s segregation era. There were also some very sobering items from America’s slavery period.

“Overseas, slavery wasn’t about color,” said Vasser.

“If you lost the battle, you became a slave. It did not become about color until (slavery) came to America.”

Vasser said the most important exhibit in the cen-

Vasser told the interns about a recent visitor who had just come from the Underground Railroad Museum in Ohio and commented that they should have visited Beck first, because the collection of slavery artifacts was so impressive.

The second floor of the center includes many items from Knoxville native Wil-

liam Hastie Jr., a judge and public educator who, Vasser said, always told people he was a native “Knoxvillian” even long after he moved from the area.

Vasser said donations are needed for the center to continue to thrive. Together, Knox County and the city of Knoxville give Beck about $100,000 annually. The interns witnessed firsthand the expenses that can arise when Vasser said the air conditioning was not currently working.

By Roxanne Abernathy The Beck Cultural Exchange Center, founded in 1975, is a museum of art and history for African-American culture, also focusing on different parts of the civil rights movement. Many pictures are displayed in

what was once the Beck house.

The Becks were a couple living in Knoxville during the time of segregation, from the 1920s to the 1960s. Most of the original house is still standing.

Beck has many different rooms with exhib-

its, including local and modern artists and other historical material. The center is able to continue operating because of donations from the community of both time and money. Some fundraising is currently being planned for the summer.

Make it a stay-cation at Beck

By Madeline Lonas Being the largest African-American organization in East Tennessee, you can imagine why Beck Cultural Exchange Center is a major tourist attraction. The house in which most of the artifacts are held is over 125 years old. Throughout the building you see many different artifacts, paintings, and other knick-knacks that tell a story of African-American history.

Beck is home to more than 10,000 pictures and drawings. The newest is a hand-drawn timeline including famous African Americans from the 1800s

to modern times. The timeline is black and white with just pictures.

Artist Allen Jones asked Beck organizers if they wanted him to identify the subjects and their time periods. The folks at Beck told him no, that they had a strong feeling everyone would know who they were.

Tour guide Timothy Vasser’s favorite showcase is in a room full of paintings and drawings. One glass case is full of artifacts from the time of slavery, showcasing the equipment used on disobedient slaves. The case includes a neck yoke, a face

mask, shackles, ball and chains, and locks. All were made of metal and used on the slaves. The terrifying stories he told us of how the equipment was used on the slaves were heart-wrenching. Vasser said the slaves just wanted what everyone else wanted, rights and a house, to not be owned by someone else and to not be treated poorly. You could tell he was an expert on this.

For everyone with children, or an eye for history, the Beck Center provides a very fun, educational tour that’s free. Instead if a vacation, it could be a staycation.

54-year-old says by phone from Minnesota. “I always look at my life and go, ‘Lord, why have you been so gracious to me?’

“I had an absolutely wonderful mother that just fed me wisdom every day and had a father that, we were not very close, but after he got to a point in his life, we became friends. I began to understand a lot of the things that he did. It did not make it right, but certainly I understood how it happened.”

Singletary, who has seven children ranging from 26 to 15, says he has counted on God to help him be a good father. How would he rate his success? “If you listen to my kids, it’s been OK, but thank God for Mom,” he says of wife Kim. Singletary started playing football as a seventh grader. He was a standout high-school linebacker and earned a scholarship to Baylor University. Chosen by the Chicago Bears in the second round of the 1981 NFL Draft, Singletary quickly proved his value.

During his 12 years with the team, the man known as

Coach Mike Singletary of the Minnesota Vikings “Samurai Mike” was named All-Pro eight times. He was elected to the College Football Hall of Fame in 1995 and the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1998.

He was part of the infamous Chicago Bears Shufflin’ Crew that had a Billboard-charting rap hit in 1985 with “The Super Bowl Shuffle,” but that’s an honor he says he could live without. “I was trying to burn every one (record) I could find,” he says.

After retiring from the Bears in 1992, Singletary became a motivational speaker

From page A-1 and corporate consultant.

His coaching career started in 2003, when the Baltimore Ravens hired him as linebacker coach. He switched coasts in 2005, becoming the San Francisco 49ers assistant head coach and linebacker coach before taking over as interim head coach midway through the 2008 season. He was officially named head coach for the 2009 season but was fired just before the last game of the 2010 season.

Singletary says football, especially coaching, is part of God’s plan for his life, and his goal “is to become one of the greatest coaches of all time.”

“I feel that the Lord called me to this game,” says Singletary, who remains grateful to the 49ers for giving him his first shot at head coach. “And so I don’t think about, ‘What about this?’ and ‘What about that?’ All I do is, I get up every day, and I act as if I’m going to be one of the greatest coaches of all time. I work that way, I think that way, I talk that way, I pray that way. Anything less than that is unacceptable.”

Shopper News Presents Miracle Makers

Connecting students with technology tools

Karla Fultz prepares for a makeover

By Wendy Smith Persistence paid off when A.L. Lotts Elementary School teacher Karla Fultz entered Oak Ridge Associated Universities’ Extreme Classroom Makeover for the third time.

She won $25,000 to spend on technology for her 5th grade classroom.

Karla Fultz visits with Ben Keziah, Jared Watkins, Olivia Knowling and Kylie Stooksbury during Camp Invention last week. Keziah, Watkins and Stooksbury were in her 5th grade class last year.

Knowling will be a 5th grader at A.L. Lotts this fall.

I’m so glad you’re here, now we know what we’re missing; Technology is something we shouldn’t be dismissing.

I want to use the tools of my generation; Connecting to the world will provide acceleration.

“Gangnam Style” rap written by Karla Fultz for ORAU’s Extreme Classroom Makeover contest Last week, Fultz’s classroom was shrouded with black plastic for Camp Invention. But the room will soon undergo another transformation as the equipment she has purchased is installed. At the end of July, ORAU will host an Extreme Classroom Makeover “reveal” party for last year’s students and their families.

Fultz is excited, but also overwhelmed. She plans to devote much of her time over the next few weeks to learning how to use the new equipment. She may not be savvy when it comes to electronics, but her creativity shines through in the video she wrote for the ORAU contest, which is on the consortium’s website.

The video tells the story of a new student being introduced to the class during a science lesson. Technology, one of the students says, is anything that makes life easier, like a toothbrush or a pencil. The new student asks if the classroom has any examples of technology from this century, then launches into a rap in a “Gangnam Style” video takeoff.

Fultz regrets that the students who worked so hard on the video won’t get to use the new equipment. But she’s happy that most will attend West Valley Middle School, which is one of 11 schools that will pilot Knox County’s one-to-one technology effort (one technology device for each student) this fall.

Before choosing equipment, Fultz sought the advice of two previous

Extreme Classroom Makeover winners. Rocky Hill Elementary 5th grade teacher Jordan Haney won the prize in 2010, and he suggested that Fultz purchase a variety of devices for students to use, rather than 24 of the same thing. She chose a mix of notebook computers and tablets will with rotate students throughout the year, and she thinks the variety will keep students engaged.

She also observed how Heather Burkhart, a 5th grade teacher at Pigeon Forge Middle School, utilizes one-to-one technology. Burkhart, who won the makeover in 2012, constantly assesses her students, which enables her to monitor learning, Fultz says.

Fultz considered spending a chunk of her budget on a new active board, but opted instead to purchase a 70inch flat-screen television equipped with Apple TV. Each electronic device in the classroom will be able to communicate with the television.

She has much to learn, but she’s very motivated to reach her students, who are often bored at school and anxious to get home so they can use technology there. Working on computers in the classroom will keep students interested, and also help them prepare for future jobs, she says.

In addition to motivating students, Fultz hopes to make ORAU proud.

Photos by Wendy Smith technology in the classroom makes a difference in student learning, and she wants her students’ test scores to show that it does, she says.

Her summer vacation will be shorter than usual, but next month’s “reveal” will be the culmination of a lot of hard work – and a lot of fun – for Fultz.

CAK Chess Club captures state titles

Since 2010, parent volunteer Rose Swanger, along with other parents, has managed the CAK Warrior Chess Club, offering CAK students an opportunity to have fun learning the game of chess, competing with other students, and representing CAK in local, state, and national scholastic chess tournaments.

“Chess develops mental sharpness and reasoning skills, teaches patience and reinforces that, just like actions in their daily lives, every move in chess has a consequence,” Swanger said. “The chess club also cultivates good manners and sportsmanship, and teaches respect.”

The Warrior Chess Club recently finished its most successful scholastic chess season. This year’s beginner group was instructed by Sanchit Wadhawan, a superb chess player and student at Webb High School. The advanced students worked with National Chess Master and three-time Tennessee State Champion Leonard Dickerson.

The result was a banner year for the club.

At the 2013 Supernationals V (SNV), a National US Chess Federation (USCF) tournament with more than 5,300 of the nation’s best and bright-

CAK Primary Chess Team members Nathan Redford, Gracia Tu, Walker Douglass, Ellie Nath, Lela Green and Johney Green III.

Luke Tedford and Ellie Nath of the CAK Chess Club qualified for the State Championship Tournament.

est scholastic chess players, 10 CAK Chess Club members competed in various sessions based on their grade levels and tournament experience.

Held at the Gaylord Opryland Resort and Conference Center in Nashville, the tournament was the world’s largest overthe-board rated chess tournament ever.

The annual Region 1 Tennessee State Scholastic

Tournament was held at Oak Ridge High School for an opportunity to qualify for the State Championship. The CAK Chess Club had two Individual Primary Finishers qualify for the State Championship Tournament: Ellie Nath and Luke Tedford, who placed second and third, respectively. These students qualified for the State Championship Tournament in Cookeville. Nathan Redford,

in his first tournament ever, placed ninth in the Region 1 Primary Qualifier. Matthew Swanger also qualified to compete at the State Scholastic Championship in the K-8 section with a seventh place finish.

At the State Championship, Ellie Nath placed ninth overall in Primary K-3, and Luke Tedford was the top unrated player at the State Championship tournament.

The CAK Primary Chess Team of Ellie Nath, Luke Tedford, Nathan Redford, Gracia Tu and Walker Douglass captured the Region 1 State Championship , a first for the CAK Chess Club, and qualified to compete at the State Championship Tournament in Cookeville. The CAK Primary Team of Ellie Nath, Nathan Redford, Gracia Tu, Walker Douglass, and Lela Green, placed eighth of 16 teams at the TN State Championship Tournament.

The CAK Chess Club invites you and your children to have a different kind of competitive sport. The club meetings start on the first Monday of October and end in March following the state scholastic tournaments.

Remembering the Frontier House MALCOLM’S CORNER | Malcolm Shell One of the true iconic eateries of several decades ago was the Frontier House on Kingston Pike.

And for the locals, it was often used as a landmark to identify other Kingston Pike establishments. It was also known as the “Farragut Country Club” because most of the clientele knew each other and gathered there regularly to socialize. To that extent, it was very similar to an English Pub or German guest haus.

It was initially operated by John Lee McCarter who hired Marie Turner as manager. John purchased the building in 1959 from Barbara Osborne who, along with her mother and aunt, ran it as a tea house. When John took the plunge, he knew very little about the restaurant business, and I am sure he never envisioned the success he would have in that venture.

“In 1959, the entire area was very rural,” John recalls, “and it was so far out in the country our vendors wouldn’t even deliver supplies to us. We regularly had to go into Bearden or Knoxville to get our supplies. There were not many restaurants out this far, and the vendors didn’t feel it was worth coming out here to service such a small number.”

When John first opened the place, he had a fourmember band that played on Friday and Saturday nights in the back room.

We lived very near the establishment and on any given weekend night, we would often get a group of our neighbors together and enjoy an evening of dining and dancing to a great band. The band members were Charley Baker on saxophone and Jim Clayton on guitar. The other two members were Mel Hines and Ronnie Anderson, and I cannot remember which instruments they played.

After several years, John was ready to “enjoy life” again and decided to sell. At about that time, his brother, Charlie, returned from California and John offered him the opportunity to take over the reins.

“It was an opportunity I just couldn’t pass up,” said Charlie. “And besides, I knew John would be there to offer advice if I needed him.”

The menu offered good Southern country cooking such as fried chicken and country ham, but the real winner was the “Charlie burger.” As a connoisseur of hamburgers, I can honestly say that it was a burger that had no equal – a large piece of prime ground beef smothered in fried onions with all the trimmings. The exhaust fan also played an important role because if you drove by with your car windows down and caught the aroma, you were sure to turn around and enjoy a “Charlie burger.”

Two of the many factors

The children loved Charlie, and many of the kids that first came with their parents brought their children when they became parents.

On their closing night, a group of good friends gathered to bid Charlie and his wife, Faye, farewell. Faye remembers that some of the children cried.

Although the establishment sold beer, the McCarters maintained strict discipline and if someone got too loud they were

asked to leave. John remembers one night he threw a crew of people out who he knew to be truly bad people. John says he was sure they would come back after closing and vandalize the place. “I spent most of the night on the roof with a shotgun,” says John, “but they never came back.”

Charlie’s sense of humor caused him to tell about two regulars – Earl Hall and Jack Watson – who were having lunch there one day when an ambulance came by with its siren on. When they pulled

the curtain back to see what was happening, there was so much grease on the window that the sunlight shining through the glass caused a rainbow effect.

Earl turned to Jack and said, “I know why Charlie has to charge so much for the ‘Charlie burger,’ he has to pay for these stained -glass windows.”

The McCarters always supported the community events and organizations, particularly those that sponsored children’s activities. John recalls that he sponsored a little league baseball team called the

Cardinals. But because they sold beer, the organizers would not allow him to use the Frontier House name on the uniform. John recalls that he just put his name on the uniform but that was just as good as using the Frontier House name. Everyone knew who John represented.

When Charlie sold the restaurant, the new owners assured him that everything would remain the same – menu, personnel, etc. – but they decided to do considerable modifications which apparently did not go over well with the clientele. And business dropped off almost immediately. I guess that is a good example of the old truism: “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”

Today, the Concord/ Farragut community is blessed with an abundance of restaurants that offer a diversity of many ethnic cuisines, and I really enjoy the variety. But I still yearn for the ambience and friendliness of the Frontier House. And who knows, perhaps someday an establishment will come up with a burger that rivals the “Charlie burger,” but as yet, I have not found one.

Ambassador’s view of Egypt

By Sherri Gardner Howell Margaret Scobey had a front-row seat to worldchanging events in the Middle East, and she shared her perspective of the region with members of the Rotary Club of Farragut last week.

Scobey, recently retired from the U.S. Foreign Service and now building a home in Farragut, was the U.S. Ambassador to Egypt from 2008 until July 2011.

She was previously ambassador to Syria from late 2003 to early 2005, when she was recalled in reaction to the assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri. Scobey was ambassador to Egypt when the popular uprising/revo-

lution began in late January 2011. “The United States was well-aware in late 2010 and 2011 of the unhappiness the people of Egypt had with the regime of President (Hosni) Mubarak,� said Scobey. “The U.S. was constantly on his back about human rights issues.�

Actions in Tunisia sparked what happened in Egypt, said Scobey. “When Tunisian citizens, seemingly out of nowhere, took to the streets and instigated a popular coup and not a military one, the whole social media/information sharing took over,� she said. “By January when Ben Ali was ousted, the citizens in Tuni-

sia looked at Egypt and said, ‘Hey, Egypt, what about your country?’ In many ways, it was one man’s efforts that sparked what happened in the rest of the region. The youth of Egypt got the message, and by late winter, it was over for Mubarak.�

The U.S. knew the problems in Egypt, said Scobey, but did not overtly interfere with Egyptian rule. “We knew there was a youth population bulge. We knew the leaders of the country were corrupt, that there were no jobs and no human rights. We did keep pushing Mubarak on human rights to the point that he wasn’t even listening anymore,� she said. “When the popular upris-

Doc says health care ‘too expensive’

By Anne Hart Dr. Charlie Barnett’s talk to West Knox Rotary last week was a wake-up call to anyone in the audience harboring positive thoughts about the current

and future status of health care in this country.

Barnett, a former primary care physician in Farragut and the founder of Knoxville’s Free Flu Shot Saturday who is now

a hospitalist, prefaced his remarks by stating his comments had nothing to do with politics. “I voted Democrat all my life until 2005, so anything I say here doesn’t have a thing to

do with party affiliation.�

Barnett said the problem with health care in this country “is not distribution. The problem is it has become too expensive.

Nobody can afford it. Entitlement programs have basically become vote buying programs and they are eating up the federal budget. There are 50 million uninsured people in this country because of the cost of health care.�

He described the simple blood test he used to perform on patients in his office at a cost to the patient of $7. Then the government got involved, forced doctors to add actual laboratories, “and told us, ‘but now you can charge $175 for a blood test.’ And so we did.�

He said the federal government “has completely disenfranchised doctors and hospitals. They took away our tools, overloaded us with documentation (including electronic medical records) and with diagnostic codes. Those are the codes you see on the

Fagundes, a radiation oncologist, is the keynote speaker for the 7:30 a.m. breakfast.

Fagundes comes to Knoxville from ProCure Proton Therapy Center in Oklahoma City. He joins the Provision Medical Group, led by Dr. Allen Meek.

The news this week from Provision was that figure skater and Olympic gold medal winner Scott Hamilton is joining the center’s board of directors. Hamil-

ton, who lives in Nashville, is a cancer survivor and tireless fundraiser for cancer causes.

hand, it is exhilarating to see people stand up and demand justice and freedom and human rights, because that is what we hold dear here,� she said. “On the other hand, it is very stressful and a time of deep anxiety for our leaders because of our relationships and crucial interests in what happens in these countries.�

Resolution is going to take time, said Scobey. “I think it is going to take quite a bit of time for things to sort out in Egypt. There are serious issues of power and control that are still up in the air.

The popular revolution knew what it didn’t want, but there hasn’t been a consensus yet on what kind of country Egypt will be going forward.

Will it be a secular nation or will Islamic culture prevail?

Only 10 percent of the population is Christian, which

is a small percentage, but a large number of people. The rest are all Sunni Muslim.

Historically, Egyptians have been relatively easy-going and cosmopolitan in the way they live and enjoyed many Western points of view. We will just have to wait and see.�

Scobey grew up in Memphis and got her bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the University of Tennessee. In the audience for her presentation was one of her college friends, Janet Haws, who saw the announcement of her presentation and came by to reconnect. Scobey has a brother in Knoxville and is building a home in Farragut.

bill your doctor gives you.

We started out with 17,000 codes and now there are 170,000 of them.�

As an example of redundant codes, Barnett said there are 77 different codes for a turtle bite and 44 for a bird bite.

Barnett said reimbursement costs to doctors from Medicare do not equal the actual costs incurred by the physician.

As an example, he cited a pneumonia vaccine that costs the physician $74.60 a dose, of which he is reimbursed only $72, leaving the practice to absorb not only the additional cost of the vaccine, but also the cost of staff, the syringe, billing etc.

As a result of this sort of inequity, Barnett said 27 percent of U.S. doctors now refuse to see Medicare patients, “and I can guarantee you that if you don’t already have a doctor in this town taking your Medicare, you won’t find one.�

Barnett predicted that we will soon see the end of primary care physicians, as more and more of them become hospitalists – practicing within the

confines of the hospital. Left to see patients in their offices will be nurse practitioners and physician’s assisBarnett tants.

Barnett said the Affordable Care Act “was well intentioned, but poorly thought out. Twenty million people will remain uninsured under it.�

Asked what he thinks can improve health care in this country at this point, he said, “Cut back on federal power, improve health care worker efficiency, reform malpractice, limit ‘futile’ care, empower patients and demand personal responsibility on the part of patients (smoking, obesity, etc.).�

Barnett also offered to donate $1,000 to the Rotary Foundation for every West Knox Rotarian “who will write a letter to a political figure saying you’ve had enough and asking them to do something� about the state of health care in the U.S.

“Sitting is the enemy.”

It was a stern warning issued recently by Mark Conley, manager of therapy services at Fort Sanders West, to a co-worker whose eight-hour shifts in a wobbly office chair had played havoc with his lower back and knees.

Conley isn’t alone in his assessment. In fact, sitting has been called the new plague of the 21st century because of the health ailments it can bring.

Unfortunately, sitting is apparently what we do most.

A recent poll of 6,300 people by the Institute of Medicine and Public Health found that people average sitting 56 hours a week – either at work, watching TV or in front of their computer screens. Add in time spent driving and just relaxing and some studies suggest we spend anywhere from half to almost three-fourths of our life in a sitting position.

It’s a trend that physical therapist Jennifer Galloway at the Parkwest Therapy Center at Fort Sanders West sees becoming worse.

“As the labor force ages and works longer into what was considered the retirement years, this is a major problem,” said Galloway, who holds a doctorate in physical therapy. “In addition, those people who tend to have sitting-type work positions will often go home and do more sitting at a computer to browse the Internet. In addition, the example we’re setting as parents for a sedentary lifestyle will continue with our children.”

Of course, that’s not good for a human body engineered for standing and moving.

Prolonged sitting, often defined as sitting more than two hours a day, does a number of things to the body, very few of them good.

Consider this info from various studies: ■ Immediately after sitting, your calorieburning rate plunges to one calorie per minute, about a third of what it is when walking.

Did you know that if you sit for more than six hours a day for two weeks and your muscles begin to atrophy and it becomes easier to gain weight?

■ Sit a full 24 hours and you have a 40 percent reduction in glucose uptake in insulin, which can lead to Type 2 diabetes.

■ Sit more than six hours a day for a year and women begin losing up to 1 percent of their bone mass a year.

■ After a decade or two of sitting more than six hours a day, you’ve increased the chance of dying from heart disease by 64 percent and the risk of prostate or breast cancer by 30 percent.

Researchers who once only looked at sitting’s role in sedentary behavior are now taking a serious look at the very mechanics of sitting and what it does to the body.

For one thing, extended periods in a seated position are detrimental to various soft-

tissue structures and muscles throughout the body.

When seated, the hips, spine, shoulder, legs and feet are no longer performing their major functions. Instead, the hip and abdominal muscles become shortened and compressed in a bent-hip, rounded-spine position. So when a person stands after a prolonged period of sitting, other muscles not designed for the job initiate the movement, leading to overuse of certain tissues and potentially causing back, hip, knee and foot pain.

The upper body also can feel the wrath of prolonged sitting. That’s because when seated in front of a computer or in the driver’s seat, the arms and hands are extended in front of

the torso, creating a forward position that causes the shoulders to round forward and the spine to flex. With the arms and shoulders in this forward position, the head compensates by tilting upward to keep the eyes aligned on the road, computer screen or TV. This, in turn, creates an excessive arching of the neck which, over time, can lead to pain and dysfunction in those areas.

For most of us, the prolonged sitting occurs at our office where musculoskeletal problems can arise out of poor workstation layout or organization. In fact, one study estimates that fully half of all office workers will develop some sort of musculoskeletal problem, mostly due to poor posture. The most common complaint, affecting 8 out of 10 workers, is lower back pain.

“The most common problem I find in office work stations is clutter,” said Galloway, who also counsels businesses in creating ergonomic work settings. “Often work environments are so cluttered that it complicates the work process and efficiency. The second most common problem is inappropriate seating – one chair size does not fit all!”

Indeed. Many office chairs lack the proper lumbar support to keep the spine upright, forcing workers into a slouching posture and causing the spine muscles to stretch. Prolonged stretching of this muscle can result in weakness or injury.

“The actual process of sitting is not harmful – it’s prolonged sitting,” says Galloway.

“Even if working at a desk, new habits can be formed to modify work with sitting, standing and walking. Modify your sitting position every hour with a brisk, 5-minute walk around your office or work area.”

Prolonged periods of sitting not only causes lower back problems, but a host of other ailments, including heart disease and diabetes.

Stand up, get moving trial, ovarian and prostate cancer as well as increased triglyceride levels.

Other ways prolonged sitting can affect your body?

■ The British study found that putting pressure on certain body parts (such as sitting on your duff) can produce up to 50 percent more fat than usual in that area.

■ Glute muscles begin to atrophy or weaken, making them less toned and increasing your risk of back injury.

■ The flexor muscles in front of your hips shorten and tighten, causing your pelvis to tilt forward slightly and increasing the risk of back injury. The

tilting pelvis also makes your lower abdomen more rounded and creates a pot belly appearance.

■ The abs shorten and tighten with prolonged sitting. This results in a rounded back posture called hyper-kyphosis. The tighter abs also pull the body downward into a slouching position, causing the stomach to bow outward.

■ The hamstrings, in the rear of the upper thighs, contract and shorten as the knees stay bent. These tight hamstrings then work with the tight hip flexor muscles and cause the pelvis to tilt, contributing to a flat lower back and pot belly appearance.

Plant yourself at your desk or in front of your TV for more than six hours, and you become vulnerable not only to bone and muscle problems but also to a slew of other ailments.

That’s the word from a study released last year by a team of British researchers who looked at a meta-analysis of 18 other studies that included almost 800,000 participants and found that prolonged sitting increases the risk of diabetes by 112 percent, heart disease by 147 percent and death by 49 percent.

Still other studies have found that prolonged sitting is associated with a higher risk of colorectal, endome-

Carol Zinavage

Carol’s Corner Bartine, originally from Houma, La., has played flute with the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra since 2000. She also sings and plays flute and tin whistle with local Irish band Red-Haired Mary.

She started on her instrument in the 5th grade, but didn’t really get serious about it until she met famed composer/conductor Alfred Reed during an honor band experience in high school.

He steered her toward Northwestern University in Chicago, long recognized as one of the country’s top music schools, where she received her bachelor’s degree. After completing her master’s degree at UT, she auditioned for and won a position with the KSO. Of her role in the orchestra, Bartine says, “I actually love playing second flute as opposed to being the star.

When I sing, I naturally gravitate toward lower harmonies, so I guess the same holds true for me on the flute. And I’m a detailedoriented person and player, so I do a good job at paying attention to the principal player and enjoy the challenge of trying to match.�

Busy as she already was with her music, in 2002 she walked into The Rush and had a life-changing experience. She discovered yoga. “It was pretty much love at first sight,� she says. “It

was the only type of exercise I’d ever done that didn’t feel like exercise. It made me feel extremely powerful, yet peaceful at the same time.�

Over the years Bartine, who dislikes exercise and says she’s never been “a fitness person,� continued with occasional yoga classes. In the back of her mind was the idea that she might teach yoga one day.

But she describes herself as “not naturally flexible,� and didn’t think she had what it takes. Besides, her music career and the arrival of twin boys Noah and Owen, now 9, kept her mind on other things.

Along the way, a yoga teacher at the Y calmed her “inflexible� fears and advised her that “there was more to teaching yoga than being able to put your foot behind your head.�

In the summer of 2011, she took the plunge and enrolled in The Glowing Body’s 200-hour intensive program. For two weekends each month, she spent 10hour days practicing poses, learning anatomy, reading and writing about all aspects of yoga. When she received her certification, the jobs started falling right into her lap – first at The Practice, then at The Glowing Body

and Real Hot Yoga.

Social media-wise, she is now â&#x20AC;&#x153;Flutist Yoginiâ&#x20AC;? (look for her on Facebook.) She summarizes her yogic style as â&#x20AC;&#x153;flow, or â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;vinyasa,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; which coordinates breath and movement. Depending on my audience, sometimes itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on the gentler side, sometimes itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s full-on hard-core power yoga. But in all my classes, I strive to make the practice challenging, yet accessible.â&#x20AC;?

Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reaped countless benefits from her own yoga practice. Her allergies are gone, she has better breath control in flute playing, and she is â&#x20AC;&#x153;no longer a worrier.â&#x20AC;?

Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also gained a half-inch in height.

Bartine stresses that people of all ages and abilities can benefit from yoga, and that â&#x20AC;&#x153;you can even do it in a chair.â&#x20AC;? Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll soon begin teaching classes at Your Journeys, a PTSD recovery program in Knoxville. Info: http://www.yourjourneys. net/#!ptsd-101/cp86.

As for the foot-behindthe-head issue, she laughs, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll never be able to do that!â&#x20AC;?

For Bartine, what really matters is sharing the richness of yoga with others. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I absolutely love teaching yoga!â&#x20AC;?

NEWS FROM PROVISION HEALTH & WELLNESS

CLEAN up WHOLE Provision offers personal approach to a healthy diet

By Shana Raley-Lusk Though the gift of good health is something that we all want, making healthy choices can sometimes feel overwhelming. Fortunately, the professionals at Provision take the guesswork out of creating a healthy lifestyle.

According to Chief Dietitian and Managing Director Casey Peer, the food in your pantry is a great place to start.

“The foods we eat today are fake,” says Casey.

“Good food really does

equal good medicine.”

Provision’s “CLEAN up your WHOLE plate” philosophy helps simplify the relationship between good overall health and smart food choices.

The push toward convenience foods has introduced chemicals and preservatives that the human body was never meant to digest. Casey says that it is as if our bodies speak only English while processed foods are multilingual.

This “misinformation” can lead to conditions that set up inflammation, high blood pressure and diabetes.

In some more serious cases, it can even lead to cancer,

heart disease and dementia.

In all instances, however, it causes an inability to lose weight.

When we eat wholesome food, such as an apple or whole grain, it speaks the same figurative language as our bodies. But when those same foods are taken to a factory, they are reconstituted and “enriched” with additives, making them easier to prepare. Of course, preservatives and food coloring are added as well.

Another part of the factory creates an attractive label for the processed foods.

So when we walk through the grocery store, we are

your bombarded with packaging that begs for our attention.

“Cereal marketing is a great example,” Casey points out. “Even with oats, there is a hierarchy. The best choice is steel-cut oats. The less the food is processed, the better it is. Yet consumers are confused with competing packages claiming health benefits.”

Casey also cautions that these highly processed fake foods do not contain the nutrients that our bodies need.

Provision members can schedule one-on-one nutrition sessions with Casey.

She uses “CLEAN up your

WHOLE plate” to show how food impacts our overall health, tackling topics such as organics, chemical cuisine, shopping strategies and food preparation.

“Don’t let this be overwhelming,” Casey adds.

“Take baby steps, and before you know it, you have covered some ground. Over time you will see tremendous change. You don’t want to look back three months from now and say ‘If only I had started this three months ago.’ Just make a small change to move closer to the person you want to be.”
