BUZZ Memorial trees The town of Farragut offers a unique way to remember or honor loved ones – through the Plant a Tree Program – by purchasing a tree to be planted in one of Farragut’s parks or along a Farragut greenway. Those interested can donate a fee between $200 and $250 and choose from more than a dozen tree varieties. With assistance from town staff, a location will be chosen for the tree which will be installed during the optimal planting season of November or December. A small marble commemorative plaque will be set in concrete at the base of the tree, and the town will provide year-round, lifetime maintenance. This year’s deadline to purchase a tree is Wednesday, Aug. 31. Info and online payment form at townoffarragut. org/register. Applications can also be obtained at the town hall, 11408 Municipal Center Drive, or by emailing Athletics and Parks coordinator Alden Rosner at arosner@ townoffarragut.org

Bean recalls Pat Like hundreds – maybe thousands – of East Tennesseans, I knew Pat Summitt. I was not in her inner circle and we didn’t hang out, but I wrote about her team and I liked her the from the first time we spoke. Didn’t everybody? That’s why I’ll never forget the time she took me to the woodshed.

By Wendy Smith Making parking lots more palatable is the end goal of several zoning ordinance amendments that were approved by the Farragut Board of Mayor and Aldermen last week. Municipal Planning Commissioner Noah Myers, of Myers Bros. Holdings, requested that front yard setbacks be changed to allow buildings to be placed closer to the road on property zoned C-1 (General Commercial). The previous minimum setback was 40 feet. The request was to change it to 20 feet. The Municipal Planning Commission (MPC) held two workshops on the topic before voting to approve the change with the

were about 30 people standing by the creek,â€? he says. Trisha Clark, an employee at Kroger’s pharmacy, says she comes to the park in the morning before she goes to work. “I eat my breakfast and play,â€? she says. “There are people here already playing then.â€? Isaac says he’s been at the park for the past couple of days to play. “There are 250 PokĂŠmon,â€? he says, and he has collected 100. The goal is to collect as many PokĂŠmon characters as possible. As players capture them virtually and earn points, they move up to higher levels. Once they reach Level Five, they can join a team with other players. Josh says his attraction to the game is competing with his friends.

stipulation that reduced setbacks be “context appropriate.� The change allows buildings to be showcased, rather than parking lots, said Community Development director Mark Shipley. It provides options for parking to be at the side or at the rear of buildings, and allows for more effective wall signage, since buildings are closer to the road. The change will reduce “traditional strip-mall look,� said Myers. “Twenty years from now, we’ll look back and think, wow, that made a big difference in the town of Farragut.� Similar setback changes were approved for C-2 (Regional Commercial) and O-1 (Office) districts.

Another approved ordinance change affects parking lot islands. During a May workshop, MPC discussed reducing the number of parking spaces that can be in a row without a landscaped island. Instead, commission recommended making islands wider, and allowing for gaps in curbing that would allow stormwater to flow into the islands. The previous minimum width for an island was five feet. The new minimum is seven-and-a-half feet, which will make parking lots more attractive and make islands a better environment for shade trees. A double order of zoning ordinance amendments regarding drive-thru menu boards was also

approved by the board. The first was a change that affects the Mixed Use Town Center (MUTC) portion of the C-1 district. Originally, there were to be no drive-thrus in the MUTC, but amendments were made last year to allow a 15-square-foot menu board. The current applicant, the developer of the former Silver Spoon site, has asked for a 36-square-foot menu board. At its May meeting, the Visual Resources Review Board recommended exempting menu boards in the MUTC from the town’s sign ordinance and, instead, treating them as site elements, providing To page A-3

Steve Hall gets Haslam money bomb By Betty Bean Despite never being a favorite of the Republican establishment, Steve Hall served two terms on City Council and two terms in the state House and was putting up other people’s signs for years before he ever ran for office. Closely associated with former state Sen. Stacey Campfield, Hall has always been an outsider, perhaps best illustrated by his 2006 run against incumbent Knox County Mayor Mike Ragsdale. He didn’t win, but he gave Ragsdale a brisk and unexpected challenge. The Campfield relationship plus some missteps during Hall’s second House term – like landing on the wrong side of a controversy

Molly Moss, 17, was checking out at Walgreens a couple of weeks ago when the cashier started talking to her about PokĂŠmon Go. “I just kind of blew it off,â€? says the rising senior at Farragut High School. “I thought, ‘That’s for geeks.’ But I saw people at church playing it, and my coworker plays it on her break.â€? The game, which came out July 5, quickly broke all records for smartphone games. This past weekend, Molly showed up at Founders Park at Campbell Station – not to hear the bluegrass concert – but because the park is a hotspot for PokĂŠmon Go fans. Molly downloaded the game from her phone’s app store, created an avatar and figured out how to play. Right away it told her that there was a PokĂŠmon outside near her house. She followed the directions out the front door and swiped across her phone to “captureâ€? the PokĂŠmon. She had 33 different characters within a few days. “You start catching more and more, and it’s hard to stop,â€? she says. She wasn’t the only one walking around the park looking at a phone. Her friend Josh Leone was doing the same thing, as were Isaac Waters, Bryce Johnson, Benjamin Pethel and Austin and Trisha Clark. Austin Clark explains that active PokĂŠmon players attract more PokĂŠmon characters to a given area. “The last time we were here, there

This year it’s Daniel who’s on the defensive after a string of intemperate public comments and an inclination to involve himself in the inner workings of the University of Tennessee, and July finds him with three primary opponents – Hall, longtime Campfield operative Bryan Dodson and attorney James Corcoran. Like Hall, Dodson is a grizzled veteran of many Campfield cam-

paigns and served as a legislative aide to Campfield before being removed from his job by Senate Speaker Ron Ramsey, who accused him of campaigning while on the taxpayers’ clock. Corcoran, 36, is a fresh-faced newcomer who charts a different course from the other three, who all appear to be fighting to claim the title as most conservative. He supports Insure Tennessee and gives thoughtful answers to questions like “What do you think of the effects of repealing the Hall income tax?� His answer, given at a recent League of Women Voters forum, was: “I probably would have left the

Chef Roy Vomfell comes to Fox Den By Margie Hagen Something new is cooking at Fox Den Country Club and it’s not just the food. Executive Chef Roy Vomfell recently became the top culinary professional at the renowned club. Supervising three full-service restaurants as well as extensive special event and business catering might be a challenge for some, but Chef Roy is up to the job. With a resume spanning decades, Vomfell started helping out in his parents’ meat market at an early age. “I haven’t been unemployed since I was 10 years old.� he says. A series of restaurant jobs followed, including dishwashing, serving and eventually kitchen work. Pursuing his vocation, he applied to the Culinary Institute of America (CIA) in Hyde Park, N.Y., one of the top culinary schools in the world. Admission standards were extremely high at the time; this was well before the explosion in popularity of studying to become a chef. At age 18, Vomfell was

one of the youngest students ever to be accepted to the college. After graduation, he was in demand and worked throughout the Northeast at numerous top-notch restaurants, hotels and country clubs including the fabled Waldorf Astoria and Tavern on the Green in New York City. Building a resume that reads like a travelogue, he crisscrossed the country making contacts and building a network of food professionals. Expanding his knowledge of restaurant operations brought Chef Roy the opportunity to develop and open five of the Toby Keith-branded bar and grills. A lot of time was spent on the road staffing, training and building from the ground up. So what brought Chef Roy and his family to East Tennessee? He wanted a change of pace, and this area appealed to him. “It’s the people here, and the weather. I love to hike and usually spend Sundays on any number of trails,� he

the year� without mentioning who bestowed the award or what the bill did. It came from the Family Action Council of Tennessee, headed by former legislator David Fowler, and changed the Uniform Administrative Procedures Act by requiring state agencies to submit their rules and regulations to the House and Senate Government Operations Committee for review. It also gives the committees the right to initiate action to repeal regulations, thus slowing the process of regulating things

like billboards. Perhaps the most curious turn the campaign has taken is the sudden money bomb Hall has received from the Haslam family and friends. At a time when Daniel is lending his campaign money from his own pocket, Hall has been gifted with hefty contributions from Natalie Haslam, James Haslam II and III, Ann Haslam Bailey and husband Steve plus Haslam followers Raja Jubran and Sharon Pryse. Hall doesn’t look like such an outsider on his last financial disclosure.

that strict conditions are met. Signs must be screened so as not to be visible from adjacent properties or rightof-ways. A separate amendment to the sign ordinance passed that allows 30-square-foot menu boards outside the MUTC. The previous size limit was 25 square feet. Secondary wall signs within the MUTC were also approved. Fifth District County Commissioner John Schoonmaker updated the board on planned improvements to Canton Hollow Road. The county had hoped to improve the road in three stages, but when no reasonable bids were submitted for the first stage, the decision was made to bid the entire project at once, at a cost of $6 to $8 million. Purchasing of rightof-way will begin this fall, with construction expected Storm damage outside Farragut Town Hall before last week’s to start in fall of 2017.

Tennessee winning formula: Get smart If Tennessee is going to win big football games, take the SEC East title and maybe stick its nose into the national playoff, it must: a. Improve the downfield passing game. b. Find a left offensive tackle to protect the quarterback’s backside. c. Refine receiver techniques and get the right guys on the field. d. Get smarter. Some other week I’ll choose interlocking a, b and c for a spirited discussion. This week the pick is d. For some strange reason, I keep using the 2015 Florida game as an illustration of everything. Thank you, Mike, for the hi-def recorder with reverse, frame by frame, pause to ponder and get on with it.

Marvin West

Even though Tennessee lost by one, I will not further annoy Butch Jones by dwelling on his extra-point decision when the Vols were up by 12 with 10:19 to play and should have gone for two. Let us, instead, annoy the coach by examining fourthquarter, fourth-down defense. The Vols, time after time, chose a conservative cover strategy, rush three linemen and drop off an end into a spy position just in

case Gator quarterback Will Grier suddenly became Tim Tebow. We now know the spy was essentially wasted which means Tennessee played 10 against 11 in the clutch. Florida learned to like that. Five times Florida went for it on fourth down. Five times Florida made it. This is not guesswork. It is from the digital review. Gator conversions came on fourth and 2, fourth and 6, fourth and 8, fourth and 7 and fourth and14. OK, I hear you screaming, you can argue that the spy had some small value on four of those plays because the quarterback might, just possibly, have scrambled for sufficient gains. No way was he going to run for 14 with

time running short and the weight of the world on his shoulders. Grier didn’t run. He threw a pass that turned into a touchdown. Ah yes, the touchdown, 63 yards, key play of last season. Almost everything that could go wrong went wrong for Tennessee. Grier had plenty of time to stand around in the pocket, look left, then throw right to Antonio Calloway, maybe a step past the first-down marker. The first law of crisis defense is don’t let anyone get behind you. The Vols didn’t. Calloway was right there in front of several who might have made the tackle. One Vol forget his eyediscipline and looked the

wrong way. Two came up fast but with incorrect angles. Brandon Powell contributed a great block. Callaway made a little loop toward the sideline and ran away. The extra point was good. Florida thus seized victory from the proverbial jaws of defeat, toppling Tennessee for the 11th consecutive season. Jalen Hurd was 8 years old and Josh Dobbs, Cameron Sutton and Jalen Reeves-Maybin were 9 the last time the Vols won. Coach Jones’ best explanation of what went wrong in 2015 was that each fourth down play had a story of its own. He saw a combination of mistakes, fractured instructions, misread situations, not remembering

what the scouting report said Florida was likely to run. The obvious repair? Get smart. Coach didn’t mention the three-man rush and no pressure on the quarterback or what might have been. Be sure it crossed his mind. Could be the change in defensive coordinators went back to those five successful Florida fourth downs in that fatal fourth quarter. Could be, in a similar situation, the new strategist will send the house. If the blitz works, could be Tennessee will look smarter this season. That would be one way to win more games.

New law promotes guns, says sponsor Let me start by saying I don’t like guns. I’ve never liked them, and I like them less this week than I did last week, and less than I did a year ago. The issue of guns, of who should be able to carry them and when, is going to influence my vote in both the August and November elections. So it’s interesting that I would receive an assignment from my editor to research a bill that was brought up at a meeting she attended – a bill that would either punish or protect owners of businesses that prohibit firearms and/or those who don’t – she wasn’t sure which. It’s no wonder there was confusion. Senate Bill 1736, which took effect July 1, reads: “A person, business, or other entity that owns, controls, or manages prop-

Wendy Smith

erty and has the authority to prohibit weapons on that property by posting, pursuant to § 39-17-1359, shall be immune from civil liability with respect to any claim based on such person’s, business’s, or other entity’s failure to adopt a policy that prohibits weapons on the property by posting pursuant to § 39-17-1359.” When I read online comments about this bill, it became clear that I wasn’t the only one who didn’t understand it. So I called its sponsor, state Rep. Jeremy Faison (R-Cosby), who was kind enough to return my

call and explain it to me. Simply put, business owners who have the right to prohibit weapons on the premises, but choose not to, are immune from civil liability if someone comes in and starts shooting. It encourages businesses to allow people to carry guns, he says. What makes the bill even more confusing is its original wording. It would’ve required business owners who post signage prohibiting firearms on a property, “for purposes of liability, to accept custodial responsibility for the safety and defense of any handgun carry permit holder harmed while on the posted property.” Thank goodness it didn’t pass in that form, which sounds like a threat. Faison used the party line to explain the need for the bill. All mass shootings

like those at Sandy Hook, Aurora and Charleston take place in gun-free zones, he said. Thus, we’d be safer without gun-free zones. There isn’t an antidote for mass shootings. Maybe one more gun in the Pulse Nightclub in Orlando would have saved lives, but one more gun in the hands of a young gang member in Knoxville could just as easily result in one more senseless death, and those types of shootings are much more common. Faison says it’s the fault of the “liberal media” that we don’t know about all the lives that have been saved by law-abiding, gun-carrying citizens. If you know any of these stories, please tell me. Until then, my opinion, and my vote, will continue to be swayed by my dislike for guns.

Lamar credits Dunn with help on drug bill U.S. Sen. Lamar Alexander has credited state Rep, Bill Dunn and others at a recent Knoxville roundtable for revising federal law to reduce opioid use. “Each year, more than 1,000 Tennesseans die from opioid abuse or overdose — this epidemic takes more Tennessee lives than car accidents or gunshots do,” he said. Alexander chairs the Senate committee that initiated the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act that passed both houses and was sent to President Obama. This battle won’t be won in Washington, he said, but “on the front lines state by state, county by county, doctor’s office by doctor’s office.”

Pat Summitt chewed me out (and I lived to talk about it) Like hundreds – maybe thousands – of East Tennesseans, I knew Pat Summitt. I was not in her inner circle and we didn’t hang out, but I wrote feature stories about her and her teams for more than a decade, for a couple of different publications including this one, and I liked her the from the first time we spoke. Didn’t everybody? That’s why I’ll never forget the time she took me to the woodshed. It was the fall of 2004 and her prize freshman class had reported to campus. Candace Parker, Alexis Hornbuckle, Nicky Anosike, Sade Wiley-Gatewood and Alex Fuller. It was a class for the ages, right up there with Tamika Catchings’ 1997 class, and Pat guarded them like they were precious gemstones. I’d read everything in print about these kids, which was nearly a full-time job because they’d gotten a tsunami of publicity. Three of them had been named national Player of the Year by different organizations, and they were all high school All-Americans. I was particularly fascinated by

Betty Bean Anosike, the child of Nigerian immigrants who had grown up desperately poor and fatherless in a Staten Island housing project with her brothers and sisters and a hard-working mother who put herself through nursing school and knew the value of education. “Big Nick� was a 6-4 honor student who moved through crowds like an African queen. I’d read plenty about her in the New York media. Pat had talked to me off the record about this group, from whom she expected great things. I put something together about them, and included the observation that Anosike was the only member of the class who didn’t have a cell phone. A day or so later, I got a startling phone call. “Betty, this is Pat Summitt and I need to talk to you. Got a minute?� Sure, I said, noting the

ney taught me the value of customer relations, as well as commitment to financial results. I set and managed an extensive budget, and, in my last job, was responsible for nearly $70 million in revenue in six years. Since then, I have served on the board of a successful startup and have turned Childhelp Tennessee from a position of financial uncertainty to one of stability. This has provided the opportunity to find solutions for the problems facing Knox County and the business acumen to move us forward in a fiscally responsible way. Knox County has $615 million in debt. Currently, 47 cents of our $2.32 property tax rate goes to debt service. We must maintain a business-friendly environment that continues to grow our tax base, pay down debt and invest in community safety and education. We need a safety center to stabilize the mentally ill and addicted as an alternative to jail, with a case man-

agement component following treatment. Our county’s leaders must continue to push to make such a center a reality. To prepare for future growth, we must review our fire protection plan for unincorporated parts of Knox County. Education should also be a priority. As a generation of technical workers retires from DOE and other jobs in Oak Ridge, we must have an educated workforce ready to fill those jobs. Our workforce must also have STEM and technical skills to recruit new industry to the area. Knox County, and particularly the 4th District, has opportunities facing us. We need leadership that understands how to find solutions to the problems that we face in a fiscally-responsible way. My background provides that real-world experience to move Knox County forward. Hugh Nystrom is the Republican nominee for Knox County Commission from District 4. The Democratic nominee is Marleen Davis.

Vice Mayor Duane Grieve only has 17 months left on City Council, but next year could be a busy one for him should Rogero vacate the mayor’s office by accepting a position in a possible Hillary Clinton administration. If that happened, Grieve would immediately become interim mayor for 10 days until City Council meets to set the date of the special election to elect a new mayor for the unexpired term and to pick a longer-term interim mayor, which could be Grieve or one of the other eight council members. In this case, there would be a special citywide election to fill the post as more than 10 months are left in the Rogero term (it runs to December 2019). Both council members Marshall Stair and George Wallace are considered potential candidates. Others mentioned include former mayoral aide Eddie Mannis, current mayoral aide Indya Kincannon and Alvin Nance, former head of KCDC. Grieve, too, is mentioned. The timing depends on when a potential Rogero appointment occurs and if it requires U.S. Senate confirmation, which will delay a quick appointment. However, the councilchosen interim mayor would serve only a few months. Grieve sought the position in 2011 when Bill Haslam resigned. Grieve lost to Daniel Brown by just one vote. If Grieve’s five votes, which picked him to be vice mayor, stick with him again, he will have the interim mayor position locked up for a few months. If Grieve becomes interim mayor, he will have to resign as vice mayor, and Council will elect a new vice mayor. However, for interim mayor only nine persons are eligible: the nine council members. Former Mayor Daniel Brown could seek the post again on the grounds he has experience and did the duties well. Interestingly, when Brown defeated Grieve by one vote in 2011, two other Sequoyah Hills residents served on council besides Grieve: Marilyn Roddy and Joe Bailey. Both voted

edge to her voice. Then she lit into me, telling me that she’d talked to me about the freshmen in confidence and I had let her down. She was hot, and I was thankful that I wasn’t sitting in front of her, withering under the famous blue glare. Almost tongue-tied, I stammered an apology and didn’t attempt a defense – something I regretted as soon as we hung up. The last thing she said was that she was disappointed in me because she considered me a friend. Once the shock wore off,

I pulled up all the stories I’d read about Anosike and her family and compiled the details that I’d used in my own account. Then I printed it out and dropped it off at Pat’s office with a note of explanation. A day or two later, I got another call. Pat accepted my proof and I was off the hook. I was beyond relieved and, for the first time, was able to savor one of the things she’d said to me. That she considered me a friend. And that made the whole kerfuffle worthwhile.

Leadership must find solutions By Hugh Nystrom The Knox County of my childhood was a Norman Rockwell painting: a safe home, loving parents, trusted friends. Unfor tunately, this is not reality for many Hugh Nystrom in our community today, including the 4th District where I grew up and now live. Unlike the Norman Rockwell image I remember, serious problems impact our community every day. In Knox County, child abuse is a growing problem. Last year, there were 1,456 reported cases, involving children in all socio-economic groups and all areas of the county. Of these cases, 928 were alleged sexual abuse, and 226 involved drug endangerment. Just 10 years ago, we had only 20 cases of drug endangerment. Human trafficking is

also a reality. Just this May, there were 32 arrests on charges related to human trafficking. According to District Attorney Charme Allen, there have been 118 opiate-related deaths in Knox County this year. Drug addiction is driving crime, filling our jails and harming innocent children. As director of program operations and development at Childhelp, I see firsthand the horrors of child abuse, the devastation of human trafficking and the increase in child endangerment related to drug abuse. I have unique insight into the problems facing our community and the experience necessary to address them in a fiscally-responsible way. Following graduation from UT in finance, I spent 14 years with the Walt Disney Company. After starting at the front desk of a resort, I was soon promoted into leadership roles in resort management, and later in sales and marketing. Dis-

she’s leaving to take a communications job with Christian Academy of Knoxville. Tindell handles public relations professionally and has done well for Knox County Schools. She’ll be great for CAK.

for Brown over Grieve, and Bailey was elected vice mayor to replace Bob Becker who had resigned from council. This is all occurring as five current council members conclude their service and five districts pick new council members for the city. Grieve, for the record, does not believe Rogero will depart the mayor’s office in 2017. ■Frank Barnett, longtime Knoxville attorney and Winfield Dunn aide, died last week. He was also governor of American Samoa appointed by Secretary of Interior Rogers Morton. ■Ellen Bebb, wife of term-limited council member Finbarr Saunders, is a talented artist. Her paintings are generally landscapes and are extraordinarily well done. She hopes to have an exhibit and sale soon. She has been instrumental in the political success of her husband but says politics is not for her. ■Mayor Rogero’s announced neighborhood walks program actually copies an idea first put forward by council member Marshall Stair, who attended a walkability conference in Atlanta. One of these walks had already occurred a few weeks ago in Bearden when four Council members participated including Stair, Saunders, Wallace and Grieve. It has been said that plagiarism is the sincerest form of flattery, so Stair must feel very flattered, although the mayor did not credit Stair with the idea. ■Early voting is well underway, with totals so far behind totals in the March 1 primaries. The most hotly contested races are for County Commission and the West Knoxville GOP primary for state Representative among state Rep. Martin Daniel, James Corcoran, Bryan Dodson and Steve Hall. The actual primary date is Aug. 4.

Dr. Jim McIntyre made 21 administrative appointments before his resignation took effect, and while there was talk that some might be reversed, none have. Unless, of course, there’s no one to post to the website with Melissa Tindell gone.

Bells were ringing, “coins� were clanking and excitement was in the air when Park Place Independent Living held its Casino Night recently. “We’re just playing,� says Lifestyle 360 program director Genna Minihan, pointing out that residents “gamble� for tokens and candy bars, with no real money involved. The senior apartment complex at 10914 Kingston Pike in Farragut, formerly known as Parkview Senior Living, offers apartments, meals, an exercise room, a hairdressing salon, walking paths and many fun, social activities. “We try to do something special each month: a luau, a Saint Patrick’s Day party with green beer,� says Minihan. “At Christmas the Farragut High School Madrigal singers come – that’s very special. We try to do Casino

Night twice a year.� It’s a popular event, and the slot machine is a favorite destination. “Sometimes they’re up til midnight,� laughs Minihan. Residents especially like the prize drawing, which kicks off the after-dinner event. Prizes include free haircuts and snazzy reusable shopping bags. Minihan wants to get the word out about Park Place and all it has to offer. “People don’t know we’re here because we’re hard to find,� she says. “I tell people to turn off of Kingston Pike between Drayer Physical Therapy and Tennessee Foot Care.� She says she loves her job and is blessed by the residents. “Whether they have 10 days or 10 years,� she says, “we want those to be happy years.� Info: 865-675-7050 or visit parkviewseniorliving tn.com

Death of a butterfly Chad Rittenhouse, missions pastor at Beech Grove Baptist

The Builders On Mission team works on a church in Dyer, Tenn.

Up on the roof: Pre-teen learns value of service By Carolyn Evans At 12, Eli Rittenhouse is already a hard worker: He mows, trims trees, does siding and power-washes houses. When he signed up for his ďŹ rst mission trip, he knew what he was doing. The rising seventh-grader is a member of First Baptist Concord and was the youngest construction worker on the 92-member Builders On Mission team that just returned from West Tennessee. Eli’s father, Andy Rittenhouse, is missions pastor at First Baptist Concord. He says he knew his son would be in good hands on the trip. Eli worked with his uncle, Chad Rittenhouse, who is missions pastor at Beech Grove Baptist in Louisville, Tenn., and led the multichurch trip to Dyer, Tenn. In Dyer, the group split into different teams to spend a week building a gym and family life center at a rural church. Eli picked the “deckingâ€? team, which put him on the roof putting down the plywood that goes under the shingles. Once that was done, he stayed on

Shawn Langford from Giles Creek Baptist in Smyrna, Tenn., and Eli Rittenhouse, a member of First Baptist Concord, are members of a Builders On Mission team building major additions to a church in West Tennessee this month. Photos submitted the roof, learning how to shingle. “I really wanted to spend time with my uncle,� Eli says, “but as the week grew, it kind of felt right building a place where people can worship God and build their faith.� It was hot, but Eli says it wasn’t a serious issue. “The average temperature was about 100 degrees,� he says. “The weather forecast said it felt like 110. It was enjoyable. I kind of like working

and building.â€? His efforts got high praise. “He was just the hardest worker,â€? says Chad Rittenhouse. “He loved running the nail gun.â€? He says Eli got inspired by the roofing crew leader, who creates one continual sound as he puts ďŹ ve nails in each shingle. “Eli became a nailing monster,â€? he jokes. “We had to tell him to stop and get in the shade. Family or not, I was amazed at the volume

of work that a 12-yearold boy could produce. He was working harder than a grown man.â€? This â€œďŹ rstâ€? for Eli was the fourth for his uncle and one of many for the Builders On Mission group. Beech Grove Baptist has been helping build churches since 1998, says Rittenhouse, and has helped build 17 churches from Washington State to Maine to Alabama. The team is modeled after Carpenters for Christ, which typically has much larger teams. “It certainly is one of my favorite mission projects,â€? says Rittenhouse. “Folks like Eli get to see what it means to be a servant. It’s very addicting to be a servant like Christ was. For me, Builders On Mission is a chance to mentor the younger crew and show them that the real fun in life is in serving, not receiving.â€? The Builders On Mission group collects aluminum cans for recycling the third Sunday of each month. Proceeds are used to purchase items needed for the mission trips.

Even in his servants he puts no trust, and his angels he charges with error; how much more those who live in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, who are crushed like a moth. (Job 4: 18-19 NRSV) I can’t explain why it made such an impression on me. Weeks have passed, and it still haunts me. We were on a trip, and pulled off into a rest area for a few minutes. I walked across the parking lot to buy a soft drink, and there on the hot asphalt was a monarch buttery. It seemed to be struggling: its folding and unfolding wings were moving more and more slowly. I hesitated to touch it, knowing that I could damage its wings. Ultimately, I went back to our vehicle and retrieved a piece of paper. I slid the paper carefully under the buttery and moved it over to a shady patch of grass. I watched for a few moments, then admitted to myself that I had no other help to offer. I turned away, sadly, and my husband and I went on our way. Butteries are not mentioned in the Bible. Moths show up with regularity in Scripture, but that is a whole ’nother animal. I did some research on butteries in the Holy Land. The Swedish scientist Linnaeus discovered 26 different butteries in Palestine in 1758! Current science counts 71 different kinds of butteries in Israel. I marvel that the writers of Scripture – particularly the psalmists – never thought to extol the beauty and fragility of butteries! I think about “myâ€? buttery every time I see another uttering fold of sky. I give thanks for God’s gift to us: brightly colored, extremely fragile wings that remind us of a Creator who loves beauty!

Youths enjoy Kids’ Movie Day More than 500 children from the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Tennessee Valley, Big Brothers, Big Sisters of East Tennessee and other youth groups enjoyed a July outing to the Tennessee Theatre as part of the second annual Youth Arts Alliance Kids’ Movie Day. When the children arrived, they were greeted and given a brief history of the theater, a 1920s movie palace. Popcorn and a coloring sheet of the theater were provided for guests by the Historic Tennessee Theatre Foundation. Tennessee Theatre historian and house organist Bill Snyder played classic songs on the Mighty Wurlitzer organ, giving the children an opportunity to experience a movie at the theater as it would have been shown in 1928. Following the concert, the 1979 film “The Muppet Movie� was shown. “For many of these kids, this is their first time at the Tennessee Theatre, and we hope to make it a special

The Boys & Girls Clubs of the Tennessee Valley has 20 clubs throughout its service area, with summer programming that allows children to have fun and continue to advance educational goals while school is out. Fields trips to cultural sites like the Tennessee Theatre help achieve both goals. The clubs are sending approximately 500 school-aged kids from the clubs at Western Heights, Montgomery Village, Walter P. Taylor Homes, Norwood Elementary School, Carter, Haslam Teen Center, Halls/ Powell, North Anderson County, Lonsdale Elementary School, Middlebrook, Vestal, North Ridge Crossing, Haslam Family Club University and Lenoir City. “This field trip will be a fun way to help educate our kids about the history and architecture of downtown Knoxville,� said John Lasher, area director for the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Tennessee.

us the richest kids in the world.� “There are lots of rich kids in the world,� Nick said. “You just have to be born rich.� “ B u t maybe we could make a record for becoming rich kids by making the most money in a day. Or in a couple hours.� N i c k thought for a moment. Getting rich and setting a record sounded like a pretty awesome combination. He nodded. “Maybe. But how can we make that much money?� Before Clay could answer, Nick heard his mother calling for him. “Ma-a-an!� he muttered. “Coming!� he called, running. “What does she want?� Clay asked, puffing alongside Nick. Nick shrugged and leaped up the steps to the back porch. All he knew was, whenever his mother called, she meant business. Opening the screen door, Nick and Clay were hit by the smell of just-baked chocolate chip cookies. Nick’s 4-year-old sister, Jazz for Jasmine, was sitting at the kitchen table, staring at a huge pile of cookies. His mother had called him in to have cookies with Jazz? Give me a break! he thought. Jazz looked up. “What took you so long?� Nick’s mother turned from washing a mixing bowl. “That was fast!� She smiled. “I told Jazz she couldn’t have any until you two were here.� Jazz reached for a cookie, but Nick was faster. Clay took a bite and smiled at Nick’s mother. The chocolate smeared on his teeth made him look dangerous. “These are great!� he said. He turned to Nick. “Maybe we should see how many of these puppies we can eat in a minute. Or an hour. Or a year!� “Why would you want to do that?� Nick’s mother asked. “To be the best in the world at something,� Nick answered. “But you’re already the best in the world at something.� “Yeah?� Nick wondered if she was poking fun at them. “Yes. Nick, you’re the best in the world at being yourself. And you, Clay, are the best at being yourself!� Both Nick and Clay groaned. What a mother-thing to say! Her face turned serious. “Nick, I need to get some work done around here, so I want you to look after Jazz for the next few

hours.� Nick was about to say no, when she interrupted. “And I want you to pick up some things at the grocery store for me.� She took a list from her pocket, and a twenty-dollar bill. “For doing me such a big favor, you can keep the change after you’ve bought everything.� Before Nick could protest, Clay blurted, “Sure thing!� “Thanks for being a good sport, Clay,� said Nick’s mother. Feeling grumpy at his mother and Clay, Nick took the list and the money. He reached for two more cookies, daring his mother to say no. She didn’t. “Come on, Jazz.� He held out his other hand. Her hand was as warm as the cookies. Clay nabbed two cookies on his way to the door. “See you later,� he called, slipping outside. “What’s on the list?� he whispered as they rounded the corner of the house. He took it from Nick and read. “We’re on our way to making a ton of money,� he said handing it back. “This record’s going to be a cinch.� “How’s that?� “My mom’s got everything that your mom needs. Except the toilet paper. We’ll keep the twenty bucks for our world record!� “Isn’t that stealing?� Nick asked. “It’s not stealing if you take stuff that’s yours, is it?� “But that stuff doesn’t belong to just you,� Nick replied. “So I won’t eat chips or drink soda for a week. That should make up for my part of it,� Clay countered. They were headed for Clay’s house and stopped to wait for a red light. Cattycorner, a man stood facing traffic, holding a piece of cardboard for passing cars to see. Nick read, “Hungry and Homeless.� A car rolled to a stop. The man nodded his thanks as the driver handed him money. “His clothes aren’t raggedy. Not even dirty,� Clay said, nodding toward the man. “He must make a ton of money.� Jazz tugged at Nick’s hand. “Nick?� she asked. “Just a minute,� Nick answered, gripping Jazz’s hand tighter. He looked at Clay. “So?� “So. He just gave me an idea. For making a ton of money.� Nick frowned. The light turned green. What was Clay getting them into now? (To be continued)

Living smart, staying well The Muse Knoxville opened a new exhibit that is geared to teach children the importance of living well, eating healthy and expanding their minds and the imaginations at the crossroads of science and art.

The exhibit – “Live Smart, Stay Well!� – features a healthy kids clinic, farmers market and room to move and explore. One area has a huge mat on the floor and video games are projected onto the mat to encourage movement. Another area features props and costumes to encourage creative play, and the farmers market allows children to count play money, serve others and learn about healthy food choices. The Muse Knoxville is at 516 N. Beaman St. Regular admission is $7. Info: www. themuseknoxville.org.

Lydia Schmitt serves up a fresh salad in the farmers market play area at the Muse.

News from Rather & Kittrell

Shared memories are top investment By Jay Slagle For as long as I can remember, attending sporting events has been an important way my father and I have spent time together. I’m told that he had to hold down the seat at my ďŹ rst Tennessee basketball game Jay Slagle because I didn’t weigh enough to keep the seat from closing on me. Since those early days, we have gone to hundreds of UT football, basketball and baseball games, experiencing all the ups and downs of the past 30 years. We also share a lifelong goal of seeing a baseball game in every major league stadium and we are about halfway there. While I can’t recall every starting lineup or the score of each game, I do remember that sports have always provided an invaluable point of connection and regular opportunities for my father and me to spend time together. Of all the trips we’ve taken, the one that sticks out most clearly to me was during the summer of 2012. Over the course of eight days, dad and I drove from Knoxville to Maine and back, visiting each of the six Major League Baseball stadiums along the way. Our time was spent comparing these new parks to those already marked off our list, intently watching the games, and sampling the occasional ballpark hot dog. Without a doubt, the highlight of the trip was my ďŹ rst experience at historic Fenway Park. I still remember how it felt walking out of the concourse and into this living baseball museum for the ďŹ rst time. It was a day neither dad nor

I will soon forget. The stars aligned and we were able to see our favorite team, the Atlanta Braves, in a rare interleague game against the Boston Red Sox. We sat four rows behind our team’s dugout, sang “Sweet Carolineâ€? like a local and cheered as our Braves won 4-1. The outcome was exactly what I hoped for, but it was the opportunity to share that experience with my dad that made it a truly great day. Many trips, and many years later, I’ve come to realize that my father wasn’t investing time and money just to go to sporting events, but rather to create memories together that we could share for years to come. Recently I read a book titled “Happy Money,â€? by Elizabeth Dunn and Michael Norton. The book summarized the authors’ research on how we spend money and the types of spending habits that actually make us happier. While we might assume that a nicer house or a new car would top the list, the research shows that material purchases do little to move the needle toward increased happiness. It turns out the excitement of the new house fades and trafďŹ c becomes frustrating regardless of the car we’re driving. So, if research validates the adage that money can’t buy us happiness in the form of “stuff,â€? how should we spend money in a way that does make us happier? Dunn and Norton found a measurable difference in happiness when we spend money in ways that provides time and experiences with those we love. These shared experiences provide the opportunity to deepen our relationships and increase our sense of connection to those we care for most. While these memories don’t show up on any account state-

The Slagles have a baseball tradition.

ment, they add immeasurable value to our lives. I have the privilege of seeing these stories play out in the lives of our clients on a regular basis. In my opinion, nothing is harder about travel than deciding where to eat. When I found out some clients were visiting Florence, Italy, this summer, I gave them the name of my favorite restaurant that I stumbled upon during my visit there several years ago. During their stay, I received an email which read: “Guess where we ate pizza today? Amazing! We sure made lots of wonderful memories during the

last three weeks and we wouldn’t trade them for anything! It was certainly time and money well spent. Help keep us on track because we have more memories to make!�

The ability to help our clients stay on track ďŹ nancially is an important part of what I do. However, helping clients make those wise ďŹ nancial decisions that allow them to live lives full of memorable experiences is the part of my career that I love. Time marches on, things wear out and lose their luster, but the time and memories that I have shared with my father will be valued for a lifetime. Jay Slagle is an advisor with Rather & Kittrell.

Dykes gets service award Knoxville Police chief David Rausch says officer Joshua Dykes is “trusted and respectedâ€? and “embodies what a true law enforcement professional is.â€? The Rotary Club of Farragut agreed and presented Dykes its prestigious 2016 Service Above Self award. This is the 12th year Farragut Rotary has honored an emergency-services professional in recognition of work Joshua Dykes that goes far above and beyond the call of duty. Rausch nominated Dykes and explained why the 10-year veteran of the force deserved the honor, although he admitted how “bittersweetâ€? it was, since Dykes is about to leave KPD to attend law school at Lincoln Memorial University. Dykes was named KPD Officer of the Year in 2015. His accomplishments are many, covering a wide range of experiences. He helped save the life of a 2-year-old who was having a seizure. A man eating at Cracker Barrel was choking on food; six thrusts of the Heimlich maneuver later, Dykes had dislodged the food and saved his life. That earned him the department’s Life Saving Award. During a resident check on a freezing January day in 2015, he found a woman in her late 80s with no heat, no food and no family. He went to a store and bought food for her and her pets and notified KUB to get her utilities restored. He continues to check on her. Rausch also nominated Dykes because of the officer’s investigative work in arresting suspects involved in fraud and felony theft, working with the fire department’s arson investigators, and Dykes’ work with the Crime Suppression Initiative in East Knoxville. “Officer Dykes is a well-rounded officer who was able to show compassion and caring for those in need, as well as doing outstanding investigative work for our community,â€? said Rausch. Dykes became a little emotional in accepting the award. “This is a great honor, and I don’t know how to express my thanks,â€? he said. “I was just doing my job. I am really going to miss the chief and the department.â€? Let’s add, “And a job well done, officer!â€? â–

A poetry pilgrimage By Wendy Smith Auvillar, France, located five hours south of Paris, is a long way to travel to write poetry. But UT professor Marilyn Kallet has held a workshop there each spring for the past eight years. “I tell my students, there’s nothing there that’s not poetry.â€? She calls the area “deep Franceâ€? because there are so few tourists. Artists flock to the ancient village for its ever-changing light, and Christian pilgrims pass through on their way to Spain. The dozen or so who travel to France for a week in May consider themselves poetry pilgrims, she says. The trip is offered through the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts, which owns the modern studio on the bank of the Garonne River in Auvillar. Kallet, who teaches undergraduate and graduate courses in poetry, has written some of her 17 books at the artists’ colony in Amherst, Va. After she was invited to the center’s Auvillar property in 2007, she offered to conduct a workshop there. The first was in 2009. While participants have come from as far as Barbados, most are UT alumni, although an occasional undergraduate will scrape together the fee. They stay in gĂŽtes – local homes − to further experience the culture. Poets spend three hours a day writing and the rest of their time soaking up the beauty, culture and cuisine of the area. They take field trips to the oldest cloister in

Laura Clark and Sarah-Louise Donaldson try freshly-baked brown bread topped with Kerrygold Irish butter served by Tracey Agnew. Photos by Nancy Anderson UT professor Marilyn Kallet, who teaches an annual poetry workshop in Auvillar, France, shares a laugh with fellow poets at a village cafĂŠ. Photo submitted the country at Moissac, and to Valence d’Agens, which has a huge open-air market. French photographer and chef Christophe Gardner teaches both skills to workshop participants and spouses who tag along. In spite of the relatively small amount of time devoted to writing, poets are usually quite productive, Kallet says. One assignment is to sit beside the Garonne and “let the river answer.â€? “The river doesn’t let us down.â€? The flowers, architecture and wine provide further inspiration. At the end of the week, workshop participants hold a poetry reading in a 12thcentury chapel, and the villagers attend. Kallet, who learned French as an undergraduate at Tufts University, teaches her students to read a line or two in French. The fact that they try to speak the language is meaningful to the locals, she says. “They love us, as long as we’re polite.â€? The relationships that

begin in France continue after the group returns to the U.S. Last week, Kallet had several get-togethers with previous workshop participants, including two who read their work at Literary Rounds, a monthly public reading held at UT Medical Center. Andrew Dillon, who has an MFA in creative writing, attended the workshop in 2014. He’s now a technical writer, and he thinks writing poetry makes him better at his work. The skills are similar, he says, because they both deal with abstraction and using words in a concise way. Undergraduate creative writing student Jennifer Price also attended in 2014. She plans to go on to medical school, and she thinks her poetry background will help her listen to future patients. “Words are important,� she says.

Breaking bread with the Irish

By Sherri Gardner Howell The whisks were keeping a steady beat, and the pots and pans were banging in the kitchen at Christ Covenant Presbyterian Church recently. The taste buds of the group gathered for dinner were definitely expecting some treats as Irish Chef Roy Moffett and his team whipped up a dinner. Assisting the chef was Tracey Agnew, also a member of the mission team from Ireland that was here working in the region with Christ Covenant and other churches. She proudly announced that the “Brine Bread� would be topped with Kerrygold Irish butter. Brine bread? “Ummm, could you spell that?� a member of the congregation finally asked. Agnew, in her delightful Irish brogue, responded with a hearty “BR-O-W-N,� and there was laughter all around. The cooking demonstration – one of three the team did while in East Tennessee – was a fun sidebar to the real work the visitors and their hosts were doing. The group worked in Knoxville with Thrive Lonsdale, a ministry that serves a large immigrant population, and then spent time ministering to the homeless and destitute in Haywood County, N.C. For the last cooking demonstration, the Irish team visited Community Evangelistic Church, 2650 Boyds Bridge Pike, to work in the garden. Afterwards, Chef Moffett demonstrated how to prepare three different Irish dishes.

Christ Covenant church member Missy Steffey whisks egg yolk, garlic and olive oil together as Irish chef Roy Moffett adds lemon to make aioli.

Irish Chef Roy Moffett gets a helping hand from Gabe Loving, music minister for at Christ Covenant Church, during a community cooking demonstration held at the church. Helping prepare the cooking area is Jacob Agnew, son of Ronnie and Tracey Agnew. Ronnie is the Irish mission team’s pastor.

The McKenzie Method

‘Bible of back care’ puts patients back in control Scott Hamilton calls it “an unfortunate water event” that required his extended presence under the crawl space of his home last August. Soon after, his presence was required elsewhere – on the table at the Parkwest Therapy Center at Fort Sanders West. Hamilton’s lower back had “gone out” on him. It wasn’t the first time, and likely won’t be the last. Until then, he does what he can to keep back problems away by following the McKenzie Method, an exercise-based approach to assessment, treatment and prevention of musculoskeletal pain. Developed in the 1950s by New Zealand physical therapist Robin McKenzie, the McKenzie Method empowers patients to care for their back through a series of simple home/office exercises that ease the load (and therefore, the pain) on the spine. The exercises are utilized worldwide, thanks in large part to McKenzie’s series of books on treating one’s own back, shoulder, knee or neck. “It’s the bible of back care,” says Mark Conley, manager of rehab services for Parkwest Therapy Center where physical therapists give McKenzie’s “Treat Your Own Back” book (and often a lumbar roll) to about 30 patients each month. “One of the great things about McKenzie method is that it really promotes patient involvement,” says Conley. “There is a heavy education component to it. We don’t want patients to be reliant on us to feel better; we want them to have the tools necessary to feel better on their own.” Hamilton first learned about the McKenzie Method about years ago, and quickly became a devotee. “The McKenzie Method’s simplicity is its greatest feature. If I can do it and remember how to do it, it has to be simple,” Hamilton said. “Once you read the book and have Mark explain the exercises, you realize that much of it is common sense. That’s the magic to this – anyone can do it and understand it. The other benefit is a gym is not necessary to perform these exercises.” One such exercise is “press

pened to your suspension because that load has been there a long time and it will prematurely wear out those shock absorbers. Our discs function in much the same way: they absorb shock and they allow you to move and flex. So you tend to see a higher incidence of disc problems in people with sitting jobs.” In his role as vice president of financial services at Parkwest Medical Center, Hamilton guesses he sits six to seven hours a day. So, he tries to stay in shape by putting in 3.5 miles a day, five days a week, on the treadmill. “I try to keep myself in decent shape but the b a c k McKenzie-certified therapist Mark Conley helps Scott Hamilton keep back problems away by following the McKenzie Method. ups,” which is basically a push up where your pelvis, hips and legs hang limp and your lower back sags. “Mark explained that motion is to counteract all the flexion that you put into your back,” said Hamilton. “If I can do a set of those once or twice a day, I have found it helps my back stay loose. Obviously, that can be a challenge to do at work being in an office setting. So Mark has taught me how to do that with a standing back bend.” Despite the exercises’ simplicity, deciding which exercises to do is not so easy. “Back pain is a very complex diagnosis because it encompasses so many possible pain sources,” said Conley, who is one of fewer than 30 physical therapists in the Knoxville area certified in the McKenzie Method. “It can be very frustrating for doctors and therapists to treat because you’ve got discs, you’ve got joints, you’ve got ligaments and muscles – everything in there, and multiple levels of it – that can be your pain source. Sometimes we fall into the trap of trying to figure out exactly where the pain is coming from but you don’t always have to know exactly where it’s coming from. “If you apply the principles of the McKenzie method and you get a feel for what position or movement is going to reduce or abolish

their pain, you go with that. That way, you don’t get bogged down in trying to figure out exactly what you’re dealing with.” While diagnosis can be difficult, knowing the reason for the pain is often obvious – sitting. “If you look at the research, there are studies done that looked at the pressure on a disc in certain positions or in different positions of the body, and they found that sitting is one of the highest compression loads on the discs,” said Conley. “The lumbar spine is typically flexed, and that’s because most of us don’t sit properly, we tend to roll our pelvis back which flexes the spine and creates that higher compression load on the discs themselves. It’s a product of poor positioning and time. The longer you sit, the more that pressure tends to cause failure in some weak zones of the discs.” Conley compares it to a “brand new truck with a really kicking suspension” that has been loaded with 1,000 pounds of concrete blocks for a month. “Take the blocks out and see what’s hap-

can g e t anyone,” he said. “It bothers people that are in shape or those out of shape. It’s just one of those things that I’ve accepted. I just know this is something I have to be aware of all of the time and not take my back for granted.” That means he’ll have to keep a close watch on his posture and keep doing his exercises. If he doesn’t and the pain returns to the point where the exercises aren’t working, he’ll be back on the table at the Parkwest Therapy Center. He won’t even need a physician referral to do so. That’s because a change in the state law, ushered in by Covenant Health, now allows direct access to physical therapy for anyone without a referral. “Under direct access we are allowed to see the patient up to six visits over 15 calendar days,” said Conley. “That’s one of the conditions of direct access; you can’t go beyond that without a physician referral.”

McKenzie certification: What

It’s not about hot, cold, drugs, ultrasounds needles or surgery. It’s the McKenzie Method and it’s about promoting the body’s potential to repair itself and empowering patients to be in control of their own symptom management. To do that, your physical therapist must be specially trained in the McKenzie Method of Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy (MDT) and certified by the McKenzie Institute to assess, classify, treat and prevent back, neck and extremity problems. “There is a portion of the McKenzie evaluation called the repeated motion testing section that usually, for the objective part of the examination, is one of the most important parts,” said Mark Conley, manager of rehab services for Parkwest

Therapy Centers at Fort Sanders West and one of fewer than 30 McKenzie-certified physical therapists in the Knoxville area. “Most mechanical problems in the back will respond favorably to a direction of movement. So you have a patient go through a series of directional movements in a repeated fashion, and you ask, ‘Are you better? Worse? No difference?’ And as they respond to that, you can pursue that movement until you have a good idea that this is a direction of benefit. So you send the patient home with an exercise program that reproduces that direction and you have them do it frequently because, on average, you flex your back 5,000 times a day. So, going into the opposite direction, if that is your benefit movement, you need

“Obviously, there are times you can do the right things and your back pain still persists, in which case you need some intervention,” Conley added. “Scott was smart enough to come in as soon as it started getting bad and we applied those hands-on techniques that he couldn’t do himself to get over the hump so to speak.” “It’s on me now to do things to take pressure off of my back,” said Hamilton. “Is it cured? Am I never going to have to have physical therapy again? I realize the answer to that question is probably not. However, Mark’s staff has taught me methods to keep my back healthy, so that I can postpone my return visit to the clinic for as long as possible!” “Mark and his staff conduct themselves as true professionals and truly build personal relationships with each of their patients,” said Hamilton. “There is always a very personal feel with each visit to their clinic. That relationship, along with the excellent level of care Parkwest Therapy Center provides, is what keeps patients selecting and returning to that clinic.” While Conley jokingly says Hamilton keeps a copy of McKenzie’s Treat Your Own Back rolled up in his back pocket, Hamilton says he’s “not that good of a student – I can’t tell you what’s on Page 43 of the book.” “That doesn’t mean I always sit right – I catch myself in positions that aren’t good. My challenge – and I would say that it’s true for almost any patient – is that when I’m feeling good, doing exercises is NOT the first thing on my mind. When my back starts hurting, I think about therapy. That’s the wrong thing to do!” Conley agrees. “Pain is a great reminder to do your exercises,” he says, “but when the pain goes away, so does your reminder. Old habits die hard, and we just kind of get back into our routine.” For more information about the Parkwest Therapy Center or to schedule an appointment with a McKenzie certified therapist, call Parkwest at 374-PARK.

it takes

to do that frequently to counter all the flexion times that you do. Usually, we’ll tell a patient to do their exercises every two to three hours, which works out to about five or six times per day and we’ve seen that there is much more benefit to that.” During the treatment process, the therapist may provide advice and instruction about posture and teaches the patient specific exercises. Sometimes a hands-on technique is used to manage more difficult problems. But by performing exercises regularly, patients are also learning to self-treat their problems, minimizing risk of recurrence and dealing with symptoms quickly if they occur. While the exercises are simple, becoming a certified McKenzie therapist is not. To

even qualify to take the exam, one must be a licensed physical therapist, chiropractor, medical doctor, doctor of osteopathy, nurse practitioner or physician assistant. Applicants for certification must attend four three-day courses. “Once you complete those, you sit for a board certification exam,” said Conley, who holds a master’s in physical therapy. McKenzie certification requires applicants to pass a written, lab and manual skills practical. The exam takes an entire day to complete. Currently the Parkwest Therapy Center has two McKenzie certified therapists on staff. In addition to Conley, Logan Pendergrass also holds the certification. To make an appointment with a McKenzie certified therapist, call Parkwest at 374-PARK.
