Feedback received from previous meetings, presentations and an online survey have helped form the current draft. So far, community members have asked for more sidewalks and greenways, more neighborhood parks, better zoning and development standards, and no additional commercial development in low-density neighborhoods. The current draft is online at knoxmpc. org/southwestcounty/.

One Hundred Women Who Care Leadership Council member Brooke Thurman collects checks at the June meeting. Photo by Laurie Wilson Photography
By Margie Hagen It was a simple idea that grew organically as women across the country heard about it: One hundred women. One hour. Ten thousand dollars. Local impact. It’s a powerful mission statement, and when Elizabeth Sawinski of Farragut heard about it she was intrigued. Determined to find out more, she began researching and talking to women from other chapters of 100 Women Who Care (100WWC). What Sawinski learned was that she wanted to be part of this effort. “This is the perfect way for working moms, busy women and those with volunteer spirit who never seem to have enough time to give back directly to our community.� Her enthusiasm was contagious, and she soon found a group of like-minded collaborators. Carrie Gandy, Jennie Councill, Brooke Thurman and Sarah Helms became the Leadership Council, and 100WWC/Knoxville was up and running. Here’s how it works: Members submit
names of local nonprofits to be put in the hat for consideration. Three names are drawn, and representatives of those nonprofits are invited to make a five-minute presentation to the group. The members vote by secret ballot and the simple majority wins. The winner receives all of the individual checks. The other two names go back in the hat for the next drawing. Members contribute $100 each but can also form teams to split the contribution. Each member or team has one vote. “We want to be inclusive, so if someone wants to be a part of this but can’t commit to the full amount, they can still nominate, vote and give as a team,� says Sawinski. “Since checks are written directly to the nonprofit, it is all tax deductible. We are all volunteers, we have no overhead, and we operate with in-kind donations and money from local businesses for our necessities.� The Knoxville Chapter has relied on advice from the 100 Who Care Alliance, a support group for the roughly 350 chapters around
the world. There are no hard and fast rules or regulations; each chapter is encouraged to adapt their procedures to what works best in their community. “It’s a grassroots giving circle,� says Sawinski. “We want to keep it simple, with 100 percent of the contributions going directly to the local nonprofit.� The inaugural meeting was held June 7th at Gettysvue Country Club and more than exceeded expectations. Nearly 200 members and teams attended and raised $13,500 in one hour. Pond Gap Elementary PTA received the money to complete funding for upgrades to their community playground. PTA president Ashley King expressed her gratitude noting, “We were $10,000 short of our goal, so the kids wouldn’t have a playground until the following year. This put us over the top. It was the right amount at the right time. We couldn’t have done it without them (100WWC).� To page A-3
First youth member appointed to MPC By Wendy Smith A 17-year-old homeschooled student was installed as the first non-voting youth member of the Farragut Municipal Planning Commission (MPC) at its meeting last week. Jack Coker, whose family first purchased land in the region in 1792, said he aspires to be a civil engineer. “While Farragut grows and Jack Coker
develops, we must keep in mind that our land is a physical container for our community values,� he said in his application. MPC bylaws were amended in 2015 to allow for
a non-voting youth member. It’s a good way for young people who are interested in government to have exposure they might not otherwise have, said Mayor Ralph McGill. Commission approved a variance that will allow the driveway for Autumn Care III Assisted Living at 400 Herron Road to be 110 feet from Campbell Station road
rather than the required 200 feet. The driveway location was recommended by a Cannon & Cannon traffic evaluation summary. Commission also approved a site plan for the development after a discussion of whether a dog park for residents was appropriate for the transition area To page A-3
Bill Dunn defends ‘kooky’ bills By Sandra Clark State Rep. Bill Dunn says the so-called “kooky� bills introduced in virtually every legislative session grab media attention from more serious matters. Seeking election to his 12th two-year term, Dunn works in a swirl of insanity called the Tennessee General Assembly. Earlier this month, the state attorney general reported that 22 women had claimed sexual harassment by Republican Rep. Jeremy Durham. Just last week, Rep. Martin Daniel accosted former Rep. Steve Hall in front of four witnesses at a local radio station. Sounds pretty kooky, but Dunn would blame it on the media. “Reporters ask me, ‘Don’t you have better things to do?’ and my answer is, ‘Don’t you have better things to cover?’� Speaking in Powell, Dunn rattled off three bills that drew attention. ■The Monkey Bill was sponsored by Dunn in 2012. It became

that designated the Bible as the state’s official book. Dunn said debate was passionate, with both sides quoting the Bible. When it came time to vote, Dunn said yes. “The Bible already is the official book. I just voted to affirm it.â€? â– Diversity at UT. Dunn said discussion to abolish the Office of Diversity at the University of Tennessee “went downhill so fast it was hard to sort out the facts. ‌ My idea of diversity is unique individuals, not group identity.â€? The Legislature finally voted to defund the Knoxville campus office for one year, leading to the resignation of director Rickey Hall. The funds were switched to a scholarship fund (which may or may not exist) for minority engineering students. “We balance our budget, we fund our pensions and education has improved,â€? Dunn said. And if the media would just quit talking about those kooky bills ‌

FHS cheer team going strong By Margie Hagen Nearly 200 supporters turned out for the Farragut High School cheer team fundraising breakfast held Saturday, July 16, at Seasons Restaurant. “We are
thrilled with the turnout and support of the community in coming out for the pancake breakfast,� said cheer mom Kristen Allison. The money raised from the breakfast will go toward
funding new uniforms, summer cheer camps and competition fees. Guests were greeted by cheer team members who seated them, poured coffee and made them feel wel-

between the facility and a nearby home. Community Development Director Mark Shipley said it might need to be called an English garden instead. Lighting for the facility was also discussed, including gas lamps on the exterior of the building, which would be in violation of current code. Resident Carol Christofferson lauded the attention to detail and quality of materials proposed for the project, but said she’d like the profile of the building to be as low as possible. Developer Peter Falk said he hopes to begin construction on the 68-unit assisted living development within the next 60 to 90 days. He anticipates that construction will take a year. Commission approved an ordinance to amend front yard setback requirements in the R-4 zoning district, which provides for attached single-family dwelling units. The change, requested by Benchmark Associates, will allow extended covered porch
overhangs to be within 10 feet of the street if the unit has a garage in the rear. The building itself must be 15 feet from the street. A final plat for the third phase of Sheffield subdivision and the re-subdivision of three lots in the Battery at Berkeley Park were also approved. Town engineer Darryl Smith shared plans for upcoming improvements to the intersection of Watt Road and Kingston Pike with MPC. The project will reassign lanes for traffic traveling south on Watt Road, and the radius of the intersection will be tightened to improve new pedestrian crossings. The Tennessee Department of Transportation will cover half the cost of the project and supervise construction, which is expected to begin next year. The MPC is required to review and approve its bylaws at its annual meeting in July. The bylaws, which were not amended, were approved, and officers were appointed. Chair Rita Holladay, vice chair Ed St. Clair and secretary Ed Whiting were re-elected.
Women Who Care Sawinski sums up her experience, “It is fascinating to me that this whole concept actually works so well. It’s pretty cool being involved at the beginning of something that really has some power for taking care of each oth-
come. The team consists of 21 girls who cheer for all FHS football and basketball games. Of those, 14 are on the competition team and will travel to Murfreesboro in November for the Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association (TSSAA) competition. This will be only the second year FHS has sent a team to this competition. Placing third in the state last year earned the team a spot in the regional competition, where they won top honors. That first place win got them invited to the national competition in Orlando where they placed among the top 36 teams in the nation. Not bad for the first time out! In competition, teams perform routines to music, showcasing their skills in
tumbling, jumps and stunts. They are judged on the execution and difficulty of their moves by a panel of experts. Each winning team gets a trophy and the opportunity to move up to the next level. These young women are talented athletes. Countless hours of physical training and practice are required to perfect the precise drills, but being mentally prepared is also essential. As in any competitive sport, focus, discipline and a positive attitude can make all the difference. There is no slacking off during the summer either. As seniors Ashlyn Hodges and Madison Denny explained, “We are attending a competitive cheer camp in August. It runs three full days from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. It will help us get ready for competition.� Let’s not forget the cheer moms; without their dedication none of this would be

possible. They wear many hats both on and off season. Besides the usual roles of chauffeurs and cheerleaders to the cheerleaders, they also have more official duties like organizing and running fundraising activities. Senior cheer mom Krista Brewster headed the breakfast but had a lot of help, stating, “All the moms jump in whenever needed. We depend on each other.â€? For many years, Aubrey’s had been the go-to place for FHS fundraising events. When the company closed its Farragut location, Seasons Restaurant in Turkey Creek stepped in to fill the void. Owner Chef Deron Little and his fiancĂŠ, Sheah Hurst, have been supporters in the Farragut community for many years and continue to give back. “The restaurant is about helping change lives in a positive way,â€? says Sheah.

Telephone operators reunion is family affair By Betty Bean For decades, every night just before 10, taxicabs started lining up next to the telephone company on West Magnolia Avenue waiting for the operators Ginger Kitts to finish the second leg of the 10 o’clock split shift. Mostly young – and until the early ’70s, all of them female – they piled into the cabs by twos and threes and headed home, courtesy of Ma Bell. “They wanted you fresh out of high school and unmarried,� said Ginger Kitts. “And you had to work those horrible hours. I worked the split to 10 the first five years
Betty Bean and was glad to get it.� Kitts retired with 35 years of service and was one of 60 former telephone operators who got together for lunch at the Communications Workers of America union hall. They caught up on old friends, told stories and laughed a lot. It’s hard to nail down the exact date when local operators served their last customers, but everyone remembers that it was in the early ’80s when information service was transferred to Nashville. Automation and the court-ordered breakup of the Bell operating com-
panies marked the end of a long line of women with high school diplomas who found good-paying jobs with solid benefits and the prospect of upward mobility. Kitts’ aunt was in information services, and her mother worked in the company lunchroom, and went to the credit union when the lunchroom eventually closed because it couldn’t break even. “The lunchroom had the best food in town,� Kitts said. “When I was little, they kept the lunchroom open seven days a week. They’d put me in this big old high supervisor’s chair, give me a headset and I’d pretend I was an operator. It was a good company to work for. The whole unit would get together for picnics, and
red phone they talk about? It really exists. We would set up secure phone lines wherever the president went.

Questioning UT’s new commission The UT settlement of the Title IX lawsuit for over $2.5 million has risen to $4 million plus the amount of money paid out in legal fees and settlement costs. While this resolves this specific lawsuit, it does not end UT’s problems or lawsuits on these issues over the long term. In fact, one can argue that UT, by settling every single gender and sexual assault lawsuit to date for high figures, has issued a silent notice to litigation-happy attorneys and clients that UT is ripe for the picking as it were. If you sue, they will settle in a generous way. Many may feel now that all one has to do to win $400,000 or more is to sue UT over these issues in Nashville, survive a motion for summary judgment
Victor Ashe
and dismissal and UT will quickly settle. UT’s first response was a strong denial of allegations followed by a pledge to fight in court. It appears the pledge to fight is only good until a settlement is achieved. This is not the end of these lawsuits as long as there are qualified plaintiffs out there willing to hire a litigious attorney. At what point will UT say “enough is enough� and it will fight it all the way. Are the financial resources to pay these huge costs limit-
less? Or does UT privately feel they have a weak case and would lose in court? One promise made by UT President Joseph DiPietro as a result of the Title IX settlement is that he will appoint a Commission with 60 days (from July 6) of nationally recognized experts to review the Title IX issues and make recommendations. This has received little notice or dialogue, but it could be a big deal in several ways and there are numerous unanswered questions. First, will these nationally recognized persons volunteer their services or be paid. If paid, how much and for how long? Second, who will staff this Commission and how many will staff it? Third, what are the qual-
ifications to serve on this Commission? Fourth, if someone wished to apply to serve where would their request and rÊsumÊ be filed? Fifth, will the Commission meetings be open to the public? Sixth, how long will this Commission last? Seventh, how many persons will serve? Will any be from Tennessee or all out of state? Eighth, will the composition reflect not only men and women but also minorities such as African Americans and Hispanics? When I posed several of these questions to the systems’ communications office, they simply did not have an answer at this time. However, all of these are
legitimate and necessary questions which must be resolved. With all the additional persons being hired at UTK to deal with these issues, the annual cost of the settlement will exceed $1 million a year in operating costs for a long, long time. This is on top of the $4 million paid out so far. This is a story not ending anytime soon. â– Happy birthday to Mayor Madeline Rogero who turned 64 on July 26 in Philadelphia and House Speaker Beth Harwell who turned 59 on Sunday, July 24. Harwell is mentioned as a possible 2018 candidate for governor, but she faces an active Democratic opponent this November. Rogero is out of the office this week as a Clintonpledged delegate to the Democratic convention in Philadephia.
The Rogero appointment of former City Council member Charlie Thomas (chosen to be on Council after eight ballots to replace former vice mayor Bob Becker) to MPC now means that two Knoxville officials are fluent in two languages. Both Thomas and City Council member Marshall Stair speak English and Spanish. â– Thanks to the intervention of Council member (former vice mayor) Nick Pavlis, there are now signs on Neyland Drive and at Marine Park on Alcoa Highway pointing to the Blount County. Nothing was moving on this from the city greenway office for nine months until Pavlis pushed the issue. Then it happened in two weeks. â– Early voting is modest for the Aug. 4 primary and general election, indicating a low turnout.

Key to improvement: Preston Williams Last week I said, as if I knew what I am talking about, that 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. I have decided to leave the choice of linemen to line coach Don Mahoney and offensive coordinator Mike DeBord, who doubles as another line coach. I am aware of some options – Brett Kendrick, Drew Richmond, Ryan Johnson and Marcus Tatum. I do hope the coaches get it right. I will assist with enhancement of the passing attack. It needs help. It is not now good enough. When a very smart quarterback is a better runner than passer, it makes you wonder why. Joshua Dobbs has a decent arm. He is adequate in the short game, quick outs, drop-offs to running backs and dinky little eight-yarders
Marvin West
over the middle when linebackers are lost in traffic. Dobbs would appear considerably better on deep outs and verticals if receivers caught a higher percentage of passes within reach and ran a greater distance with what they catch. Here’s where I can help. Insist that Preston Williams build up endurance. Dispatch him down the field, time after time, until secondary tongues are hanging out. Send Williams long one more time and ask Dobbs to throw it as far as he can. Bingo! Deep passing problem solved. Short game will improve when defensive backs are forced to play honest. Runners will run even better when passing presents a threat and the crowd in the box thins out. Butch Jones will be coach of the year. Preston Williams is one
notch above a secret weapon. He appeared in eight games as a freshman and, get this, had a grand total of seven receptions. I remember when Johnny Mills caught 11 on one Saturday afternoon – and it wasn’t against Western Carolina. A truly great analyst, somewhat better than me, says Williams has as much pure ability as any of the famous Tennessee receivers of the past (no recents available for comparison). He is 6-4 or more, 210 or more, runs very fast and has a somewhat selfish disposition when the ball is in the air. He thinks it is his, and he has the size and strength to make it happen. This seems so simple: Throw it to him. Here is an admission: I have an agenda. Preston Williams is one heck of a colorful story. He committed early to Tennessee and took it upon himself to recruit other Volunteers. Rumor has it that he wore Tennessee colors during an official visit to Auburn. Preston won first place for national signing-day fashion. He appeared on a TV
recruiting show wearing a really impressive all-white suit, orange bow tie, no socks and a felt hat that looked like a Tennessee helmet. Preston was a five-star prep prize, Georgia 6-A player of the year as a junior, state long-jump champ in his spare time. A knee injury shortened his senior season, and he was still rehabbing when he relocated from Hampton, Ga., to downtown Knoxville last summer. Alas, he fell under the NCAA microscope and lost more time while the infamous Clearing House gathered information and studied how in the world he made such dramatic academic improvement from one ACT to another. In the beginning, he did not meet entrance requirements. When he took the test again, he scored too high. The third time was a charm. Go play. That’s what I say, go play, catch passes, run fast and far, help the Vols do something they haven’t done in years, win big. Marvin West invites reader reaction. His address is westwest6@netzero.com.
McMillan settles into divorce court Judge Greg McMillan says the law is the law, and “a judge has to find the facts and then apply the law.�
Sandra Clark
The young jurist has settled in at the Fourth Circuit Court, commonly called divorce court. He’s just the third judge in the court’s 50-year history. Judge George S. Child Jr. served two terms, Judge Bill Swann served 40 years and now McMillan has served two years. Chris Rohwer introduced McMillan to the North Knox Rotary Club. Rohwer drew on their friendship through
Habitat for Humanity where he said McMillan is known as “Oops.� The judge agreed. “I’ve had stitches twice and a broken bone.� He volunteers “because it’s recharging spiritually.� Take a look at his caseload through June 2016: divorces filed (without kids) – 300; divorces with kids – 212; orders of protection requested – 928; orders of protection dismissed or renewed – 1,107. “Last year we had 2,055 orders of protection filed; we’re on pace to have 2,200 this year.� McMillan hears divorce cases on Mondays and Tuesdays. On Wednesdays, he hears appeals from Juvenile Court and state-filed cases to terminate parental rights. On Thursdays, he hears
finish in an hour, the case drops to the bottom of the day’s docket. He usually schedules 18-19 cases and has not yet failed to clear his Friday docket. What has he learned on the bench? “People’s capacity to be cruel to one another is infinite.� He added: “It’s a challenging job. I’m physically worn out at the end of the day.� McMillan manages to find time to teach a class in negotiating as an adjunct professor at UT Law School. He is active in sailing with the Concord Yacht Club, and he volunteered with the Boys and Girls Club when his kids were younger. In response to a question, he said the filing fee for a divorce is “slightly over $400.�

Tim and Candy Archer
Telephone operators At one point, when her husband was sent to Vietnam, she returned to where she started. “I went back to Copper Hill and got a job on an old ringdown board – that’s where you put the plug in and the operator says ‘hello.’ Same board I played on as a kid. You just picked up the phone, the operator said ‘hello,’ and you’d say, ‘I want a number for that pink house on top of the hill.’ It was a riot.� Candy and Tim Archer are also branches of this telephone family tree. Candy was a UT student who applied for a job as an operator in 1971 with the intention of making money to get an apartment.
From page A-4
Tim, a rare male operator, started in 1976 after a stint in the U.S. Army, 101st Airborne, with the intention of transitioning into another job within the company at the first opportunity. But after he married Candy in 1978, they found the flexible schedules and good benefits suited them, and they never had to take their children to day care. “The best souvenir he got of his job was me. We both enjoyed our home time together,� Candy said. “We’re homebodies and were involved with our children and our parents, and we made a good living. There’s nothing better than that,� Tim said.

Sherrill Hills’ dining area morphed into a speakeasy July 23 during the facility’s third annual Gangster Ball and Chicago-style dinner. Tickets were in such high demand from folks outside the Sherrill Hills community that people had to be turned away, according to Sandi Simpson, senior living consultant for the resort lifestyle community.
The evening started in the theater with a film on Prohibition, followed by dinner and dancing in the dining area. Ticket holders were encouraged to dress in costume, and they didn’t disappoint. “We know we have other things to do, but this is a day we get to spend playing with our residents,� says facility manager Cassie Smith.

Silver status: Scouts grow herbs, bake goodies to earn award and help hungry By Carolyn Evans Basil cookies are a foodie’s delight: sweet and savory and a little bit gourmet. When Katie Bush and Sarah Pastor, rising seventh-graders at Farragut Middle School, learned the requirement to earn the Girl Scout Silver Award was to create a sustainable project that would help others, they decided growing food for a good cause would be perfect. Neither girl goes to First Farragut United Methodist Church, but they found a place for a small herb garden in the big garden on church grounds. The church donates all the produce grown there to its Hunger Ministry food for charities. The girls, members of Troop 2156, worked with church member Clark Brekke to plant seeds indoors, build a raised herb bed and transplant the seedlings. Once the crop was in, they had to decide what to do. Neither girl had much baking or cooking experience on their resumes. “I’ve made grilled chicken and quesadilla and taco meat before,� Katie says. Sarah had been only “a little bit� of a cook before this. “I’ve mostly cooked chicken and veggies in a frying pan once or twice,�
she says. They took a suggestion from church member and Hunger Ministry volunteer Laura Derr and made some dill bread. Then Sarah’s mother showed her a cookie website, and she discovered lemon-basil shortbread cookies. Sarah describes the cookies as light and fluffy with a little colored sugar on top, and Katie says the dill bread was popular with everybody, even the kids. Armed with dill bread, basil cookies and fresh and dried herbs, they stocked the Hunger Table at the church on June 2. They were a hit. With the addition of vegetables donated by church members, the combination brought in $300.42 that morning. “These two were irresistible,� said Derr after the first Sunday. “The congregation flocked around the table all morning, elbowing each other for fresh herbs, dried herbs, basil cookies and dill bread.� Success bred innovation. For the second and third Sundays, July 10 and July 17, the girls increased the number of cookies for sale and added homemade marinara, pesto, spicy salsa, cheddar-herb scones, provolone scones and herb butter. By the time they were

I have been privileged in my life to see many wondrous sights. I have traveled on five continents (and hope to add a sixth someday). However, there is one sight that captures my imagination and mystifies me like no other: Devil’s Tower in Wyoming. The Indians named it, and I have been unable to find out if they feared it or worshipped it. My guess is both! It certainly commands respect. It stands tall on the horizon (867 feet from base to summit), and 1,267 feet above the Belle Fourche River – visible for miles and miles. Its summit is actually 5,112 feet above sea level. It is flattish on top, weatherworn, I assume. I am told grass grows up there. There are those hardy (or foolhardy) souls who climb its dark gray, absolutely perpendicular sides (the grooves of which swirl gracefully from bottom to top), a project I don’t even want to contemplate! The tower is actually the petrified center of a longextinct volcano. The mountain that surrounded it wore away centuries (probably millennia) ago! What was left behind was this tower: stunning and mysterious and beautiful, another of God’s gifts to us on this Earth. Those of us who choose not to climb it are able to walk around its base. All along the base are enormous chunks of rock that have fallen from its towering sides. I was in awe walking along that trail, marveling at its beauty, turning my back to the tower and seeing the continent stretching out, as far as the eye can see, America, the beautiful!

The Best in the World
This summer, the Royal Teens of the Knoxville Chapter of Jack and Jill of America Inc. attended the 60th Southern Region Teen Leadership Conference in Atlanta. More than a dozen local teens participated in legislative sessions, educational workshops, oratorical competitions and a community service project building prosthetic hands for amputees in developing countries. Current Knoxville chapter teen president and incoming UT freshman Arthur Nelson was honored at the Senior Gala with 250 other graduating seniors. Teens from 42 Jack and Jill chapters across the country attended the conference. Jack and Jill of America Inc. was founded in 1938. It is a membership organization of mothers with chil-
dren ages 2-19 who are dedicated to nurturing future African-American leaders by strengthening children through leadership development, volunteer service, philanthropic giving and
civic duty. Since 1966, the Knoxville chapter has supported literacy efforts and provided community service benefitting children in East Tennessee.

CHAPTER THREE: STORY SO FAR: Nick and his best friend, Clay, have decided to set a world record by making a ton of money. Then Nick has an idea how to do it. The question struck Nick as they were crossing the street. “Hey!� he said. “Who’s going to get in the book for making the most money? You or me?�

Bloody jeans and begging
Jazz tugged at his arm again. “Not now!� he said, watching Clay skip ahead and turn to face them, walking backwards. “I just made us twenty bucks,� Clay said. “Well, almost. And I just got a great idea, and you didn’t. Unless you come up with something, it’s gonna be my record.�

It sounded fair, but Nick didn’t like it. “That was my mom’s twenty dollars,� he argued. Jazz tugged again. To get her to stop, he squeezed her hand tighter. “And I’m the one who’s going without chips and soda. Not you.� Clay spun around and walked just ahead of them. Nick felt a fight coming on. Two fights in less than half an hour. A new world record? Before he could say anything back, Jazz tugged again. Hard. “What!� he exploded. “What do you want?� “I want to tell you something,� she said, and suddenly looked shy. “But it’s a secret.� Nick rolled his eyes but leaned closer. Jazz whispered into his ear, then stood there, trying not to giggle. She had told Nick one of the stupidest jokes he’d ever heard. But the way Jazz told it—like it was the most hilarious thing in the world—made Nick laugh in spite of himself. “What’s so funny?� Clay asked, looking over his shoulder. “Now I’ve got a great idea for making money.� Nick grinned. “So.� But Clay looked a little worried. “So. I think whoever makes the most money with their idea should get all the money for the world record. Deal?� Clay stopped in front of his house. “Deal. What’s your idea?� “Tell me yours first.� Before Clay could say anything, his older sister, Faye, swooped out the front door. “Mom’s with Grandma,� she announced. “When she comes back, tell her I’m at Lucille’s. Got it?� “Yeah, I got it,� Clay said. “And it’s contagious.� The kitchen smelled like leftover breakfast—heavy on the bacon. “OK. Let’s get busy.� Clay held out his hand for the list. “Get a grocery bag, Jazz.� Clay pointed to the pantry. “Why?� she asked. “Do you want to help us or not?� Jazz shrugged but walked to the pantry anyway. Clay looked at Nick. “Sugar’s in the cupboard.� It didn’t take long to finish “shopping.� Nick looked at the full bag. “We’ll need some money for toilet paper,� he said. “No problem,� Clay said. “Want to help me get ready?� “Sure. And you can help me, too. Got some cardboard? I need it to make a sign
for my idea.� “Hey! Me too,� said Clay. “And we’ll need a big pen.� The three of them raced up to Clay’s room. “We can both use the back of this.� Clay pulled some posterboard from his closet. “Got scissors?� Clay nodded, but reached under his bed instead of fetching them. He pulled out a lump of blue cloth. “I was wearing these when I crashed my bike last month.� He shook them out. “Mom wanted to toss them! Can you believe it?� Nick stared. They looked bad — torn and stiff with blood. Clay stepped to a chest of drawers and pulled out a T-shirt. “Jazz. Take this outside and mess it up. You know, dirt and grass and junk.� “Why?� Clay threw up his hands. “Do I have to explain everything?� Jazz jumped high enough to grab the shirt. “Big shot,� she huffed. “But no dog stuff!� Clay called as she ran out the door. “So what’s your idea?� Nick asked. “Write ‘Help Homeless Hungry’ on my half,� Clay answered, handing him a marker. “Three different lines. Make it sloppy.� “You’re going to beg for money?� Was Clay’s idea OK? Nick didn’t want to sound like a baby, but . . . “What do you think? What are you going to do?� Nick got ready for Clay to tell him his idea was stupid. “Sell jokes. Jazz’s joke. It’s so lame it’s funny.� Clay pulled off his pants. “How much?� he asked, kicking a leg into his wounded jeans. “A quarter.� Nick was relieved that Clay wasn’t scoffing. “What if they don’t laugh?� “I’ll give the quarter back.� Clay shrugged. “I’ll make more money. What’s the joke?� Before Nick could answer, the kitchen door slammed. Nick looked at Clay in surprise. Jazz never shut doors. The footsteps approaching the bedroom stairs were too loud to be Jazz’s, anyway. Faye? But they sounded angry. A look of horror crossed Clay’s face. “Mom!� He struggled to pull off the jeans, but his heel caught in a tear. He fell to the floor as the footsteps clumped closer and upward. (To be continued)

the Rotary guy Tom King tking535@gmail.com
Bearden Rotary, Pond Gap PTA work on new playground The relationship between the Rotary Club of Bearden and Pond Gap Elementary School shows no signs of slowing down. When the school’s 370 students return for classes on Aug. 8, they’ll no doubt notice one very important thing – the work on a brand-spanking-new playground. The $75,000 project is funded by a partnership between the Pond Gap PTA, the Rotary Club of Bearden and Knox County Schools. Another $7,000 in labor costs will be saved thanks to the volunteer hours put in by members of the Bearden club and the school’s PTA during these hot summer months. Bearden Rotary has been supporting the school for around 10 years with a reading program in which Rotarians read to students; presenting books to the school library in honor of its weekly speakers; and in years past a mentoring program. Discussion and planning of this project began when Gary West was club president (2014-15) and was carried forward this past Rotary year when Tom Daughtrey was president. Pond Gap serves a low-income population, with 90 percent of its students receiving free or reduced lunches and many students who are children of immigrant families from 20 different countries. The project began as a $24,409 project, with Bearden putting in $17,000 and the PTA another $7,000. But the Pond Gap PTA, led by president Ashley King, got really busy and actually raised $33,000, which expanded the
scope of the project. New mulch will soon be delivered for the playground, and Bearden Rotarians will be busy during an upcoming weekend spreading it. West said his club will be adding new benches to the playground as well. A major addition will be a big play set that includes a new slide, and the kids also will have fun on a new merry-go-round. The basketball court is also being upgraded. Pond Gap School is at 1401 Hollywood Road. This playground will serve the community in addition to the students. â–
Steve Chancey in Hall of Fame
Bearden Rotarians are celebrating one of their own being inducted into the Greater Knoxville Sports Hall of Fame last night. Former University of Tennessee running back Steve Chancey was the club’s president in 2006-07. Steve came to UT after an incredible high school career at old South High, where he lettered in four sports. â–
Helen Harb roars in
Phyllis Driver, new president of North Knoxville Rotary, has named Helen Harb as sergeant-at-arms. And Harb is on a revenue drive that makes red-light cameras look like pikers. Last week she fined those without badges and those whose picture had appeared in the Shopper News. Hey, wait!

Alex Mynatt paints part of a mural with her grandmother, Pam Stinnett. Photos by S. Barrett
PaintFest America By Sara Barrett An unorthodox therapy session was held last week at UT Medical Center’s Cancer Institute. Cancer patients, survivors and their friends and family members gathered for some art therapy during PaintFest America, sponsored by the Foundation for Hospital Art. Three murals were created paint-by-numbers style by patients and staff, and a cancer patient and survivor worked together on a fourth to be displayed in New York with murals from every other state on the final stop of the 50-day tour. “Stars of Hope,� the 50-state mural, will be unveiled Aug. 23. Cancer treatment recipient Pam Stinnett brought her granddaughter, 7-yearold Alex Mynatt, with her to help paint a portion of the murals. As a stage four patient with lung cancer, Stinnett says the day was memorable on many levels. “This brings us peace,� says Stinnett of the benefits cancer patients experience through art. “Art helps everybody – especially those
of us who, day in and day out, deal with not so pretty things.� Mynatt was excited because she can’t attend Stinnett’s medical treatments with her, but she could attend the art therapy. Volunteer Megan Feight travels the country on behalf of The Foundation for Hospital Art, which was founded by her grandfather. Her dad took the reins seven years ago, and Feight hopes to accept the role someday with her twin sister. “My granddad was an artist, but he worked in corporate America and just painted on the side,� says Feight. One day, her grandfather was painting a mural on the wall of a Georgia hospital when a young burn victim walked up and asked if she could help him. “He realized then, it wasn’t about having his name at the bottom of the mural, but about the therapy of painting,� she says. UT Medical Center was the sole stop in Tennessee for PaintFest America. Info: www.hospitalart.org.

News from Concord Christian School
Student artists with state Rep. Jason Zachary: Alysda McHale, Reagan Tolleson, Rachel Allion, Zachary, Jacob Crox, Courtney Jackson, Noah Marlowe, Abbi Firment and Becky Fraser, Concord’s High School art teacher.
Concord’s high school artists receive state recognition State Rep. Jason Zachary was on campus last week to award the winner of a local High School Art Competition for the 14th District. Congratulations to senior Jacob Crox who won first place. Jacob’s pencil drawing of the Tennessee Theater will be displayed in the State Capitol. Noah Marlowe, senior, received second place and Alysda McHale, junior, received third place in this compe-
tition. All seven pieces were displayed at Farragut Town Hall. State Rep. Jason Zachary explains, “We invited both high schools in the 14th District, Farragut and Concord, to participate in an art contest. The winner from each school will have their picture hung in our Nashville office and will receive a flag that was flown over the Capitol.
Concord’s top three pieces were recently displayed at Farragut Town Hall. One visitor stated, “Pretty awesomely talented high school artists at Concord Christian School!”
CCS was able to participate this spring, and Farragut will be in the fall. Thank you to the incredibly talented art students who spent hours on District 14, historic Knoxville or TN related paintings!! Our three judges were blown away by the paintings.
“The winner was Jacob Crox, a rising senior and member of the basketball team. Jacob’s drawing of the TN Theater is incredible! Jacob, along with the eventual Farragut winner, will be coming to Nashville in January to officially hang the pictures.”
Hollywood adventures
Leave it to a singing caterpillar (Jake Hageman) to encourage Tiny Alice (Deborah Allion) with a song and dance routine.
Concord’s first musical – a tremendous success In April of this year, our middle and high school students did a fabulous job delivering the story of Disney Jr.’s “Alice In Wonderland, The Musical.” Theatre Arts director Christi Watson said, “Concord Christian School’s Theatre Arts program strives to cultivate culture makers, create community, and serve with stories.” Watson shared, “I am so excited to watch as our students grow and shine through new projects in the 2016-17 school year. “
Twiddle Dee (Alison Strong) and Twiddle Dum (Caroline Burnette) attempt to teach Alice ( Michala Plato) the rules of the game they play.
A very happy un-birthday to You! The Mad Hatter (Lake Bailey) and March Hare (Sofie Hartsell ) throw all rules aside to celebrate daily.
Five Concord High School students had an incredible opportunity this spring to spend a week in Hollywood. This experience was part of the partnership between Concord Christian School and Hollywood Connect. Producer John McMillan was happy to host this first group and filled their week with behind the scenes visits, acting workshops and seminars. The students heard from phenomenal people in the industry such as actors Doug Jones and Jen Lilley and producer Shun Lee. Lee shared what it’s like to be a Christian in Hollywood. “As artists, our job is to be a messenger, and there is a need for Christians to help send that message. Sometimes as artists we shock the audience in order to heal them or wake them up to the truth.” Following an acting workshop with Abbie Cobb, teacher and chaperone Rachel McKelvey said, “What a great time to learn about the actor’s side of the entertainment industry. Thank you for taking time out to teach us! “Not in a million years!”
On the set from Cheers, Concord’s group enjoyed their week in Hollywood learning from Producer John McMillan
It was not all work and no play. The Concord students did get to spend some time as tourists, visiting Santa Monica Pier, touring WB, Universal and Paramount studios and, of course, visiting the Hollywood sign that overlooks the city.

West Knox ‘truckster’ built for joy By Wendy Smith It’s not the kind of car you expect to find in the West Town Mall parking lot. Dave Moore’s customized 1995 Buick Estate Wagon is modeled after Clark Griswold’s family truckster in the 1983 comedy classic “Vacation.� He was inspired to create the lookalike because he enjoyed watching the “Vacation� movie series with his kids when they were young. But his biggest motivation is bringing joy to those who see it. “If there’s anything we can do to bring a smile to someone’s face, we should do it.� The movie car was a tricked-out 1979 Ford LTD Country Squire. Moore spent five years looking for a wagon with faux wood trim before settling on the Buick three years ago. He spent a year combing through garage sales for Samsonite luggage like that used by the Griswold family, and painted it blue. He also found a lighted pizza delivery sign that he customized for the
replica truckster. The car sports numerous stickers advertising Wally World, the fictional theme park visited by the Griswolds, and a stuffed moose, the Wally World mascot, is attached to the hood. When the car reaches a certain speed, the moose’s head pops up, laughs Moore. He loves to see the smiles of those who pull out their phones for a photo of the truckster. When he parks it and plays the “Vacation� soundtrack on speakers mounted on the car’s exterior, a crowd gathers, he says. That’s why he keeps a stockpile of toys, like stuffed animals and hula hoops, in the back of the wagon. He enjoys giving them to children, with their parents’ permission, of course. One child was so delighted that he turned around and gave Moore his favorite football, which he now keeps on the truckster’s dashboard. He sees the car as his Christian mission. However he can use it to bring others joy, that’s what he wants to

do. He’s brought the truckster to children’s birthday parties and other outdoor events and never accepts money. He will, however, accept donated toys that he can pass out. Moore modeled caring for others as a teacher and football coach. At Lenoir
City High School, he started a nonprofit called Care365 to encourage students to care unconditionally for those around them. One of his initiatives was to provide power packs that jumpstart dead car batteries for each area high school. He actually debuted the
truckster last year as it appeared in the 1989 sequel “Christmas Vacation.� He wrapped the car in lights and tied a giant Christmas tree to the roof. He hopes to repaint the car to match the pea-green original before the Christmas season rolls around again.

Knoxville City Council member Nick Pavlis is grateful that his colleagues passed an ordinance requiring new payday lenders to keep a 1,000-foot distance from existing businesses and neighborhoods. He had become concerned about the growing number of payday lending businesses strung out along Chapman Highway and said the measure will safeguard area property values. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This ordinance is not about regulating the businesses. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about the clustering and the impression that it leaves on people as they live, work and play in our community,â&#x20AC;? Pavlis said. The unanimous vote came despite a warning from city Law Director Charles Swanson that the ordinance could leave the city vulnerable to legal challenges. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Betty Bean

Take a tour of downtown homes, gardens By Sherri Gardner Howell There is a little bit of voyeurism in us all, and nothing amps it up like downtown Knoxville residential developments. What wonders are behind those tall windows and historic Knoxville facades? The East Tennessee Community Design Center, a nonprofit organization that pairs architects, planners and other professionals with community groups and nonprofits, is hosting a fundraiser Aug. 4-6 that is a voyeurâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dream. The Urban Home & Garden Tour focuses on both homes and outdoor spaces and includes quite a list of homes and gardens in downtown Knoxvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s refurbished historic buildings. The fun begins with a Premier Party from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 4, at The Holston, a retail and residential space at 531 S.

The wine cellar at the Burstin loft
UT professor emeritus and historian, who will share historical insights of The Elliot and discuss Knoxvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 225th birthday. Guests will be able to tour The Elliot, a historic downtown building at State Street and Church Avenue, after the presentation. In addition, the vault from the former Holston National Bank will be open for viewing, and UT Chancellor Emeritus and Tennessee Theatre organist Dr. William Snyder will entertain at the preview party. Baron and Gayle Bustin and Phil Lawson gave Shopper News photographer Ruth White a sneak peek at their lofts in The Holston. Gayle chaired last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s City People Home Tour, which is on hiatus this year, so Gayle is helping with the Urban Home & Garden Tour. In past years, the Community Design Center tours have focused more on â&#x20AC;&#x153;spacesâ&#x20AC;? than homes but have included homes in this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event.

Pretty plans for Midway Business Park By Sandra Clark The Development Corporation of Knox County has spared no expense in hiring consultants to design the bestlooking, most environmentally Ed Brantley sensitive business park in the country. And it put plans for Midway Business Park on display last week for residents to view and question. The plans are detailed online at themidwayproject. com County Commissioner Ed Brantley showed moxy as the meeting got underway. An unidentified man verbally assaulted Development Corp. CEO Todd Napier with references to a lack of backbone and other body parts. Brantley threw him out. “We don’t allow that language in here,” he said. “You leave.” Here are meeting highlights: Brent Johnson P.E. of Vaughn & Melton talked about water quality. This was a hot topic since the 380-acre site contains numerous sinkholes and surrounding residents drink well water. Johnson, who spent years as an engineer with the city of Knoxville, said he’s never seen a better-designed project. “We’re not bothering the sinkholes and have left 50 acres of (undisturbed) property.” Walking trails, open to the public and lighted, will be built along paved streets and into the preserved area, which also accommodates
storm water runoff. Johnson called it a wet weather conveyance that features a spectacular 20-foot tall rock face. He said engineers have protected the “open throat” sinkholes and have drilled sunken areas to determine that there are no more active sinkholes. “The water coming from our site will not pollute your wells,” he stated. But he added, “We are designing the big plan. Each business (that buys land in the park) must have its own storm water management plan per Knox County regulations.” English Esway is a young, resident who moved to East Knox County to be in a rural area. She challenged Johnson repeatedly, saying there is no need for a business park at Midway. Napier said whether the park is built was not a topic for last week’s discussion. That decision has been made by local politicians and will be played out in the courts. Daryl Johnson AIA, president of Johnson Architecture, has designed building standards. Buildings cannot exceed 45 feet in height; the HVAC must be screened on roofs; loading docks and service entrances should be in the back. Construction must be a mix of materials in muted colors and accessory structures must match the buildings. The flaw is enforcement. TDC’s goal is to sell lots. “Will these requirements be attached to the land like subdivision covenants,” asked a pesky reporter. Answer: It’s up to The Development Corporation.

North Ward candidates share views By Wendy Smith Rich Cataldi, who is challenging incumbent Louise Povlin for the North Ward alderman seat, says he’s concerned that the town is spending money on things that don’t mean much to citizens, like signage to support the town’s new brand and slogan: “Live closer. Go further.” “I don’t think it resonates with the citizens,” he says. Given the reduction in revenue from the decrease and possible elimination of the Hall income tax, he thinks town government should focus attention on filling empty buildings on Kingston Pike. Povlin, who sits on the Municipal Planning Commission (MPC), was appointed to fill Ron Honken’s vacant seat in January. She also wants new businesses to thrive in Farragut, and has chosen to continue serving on the Farragut Business Alliance (FBA)
board in order to develop a small business liaison program. She’s a small business owner herself. During the multi-month process of determining funding for FBA, Povlin researched the town’s economic development strategy. It was eye-opening to realize how much Farragut depends on sales tax revenue, she says. Maintaining the town’s identity as a residential community is a priority, but she thinks businesses can easily co-exist with residential neighborhoods. Cataldi was glad that MPC and the Farragut Board of Mayor and Aldermen “softened” their stance on drive-thrus in the Mixed Use Town Center district, which resulted in development plans for the former Silver Spoon site. The town needs to negotiate with those who want to do business here, and guidelines should be used as a ruler
rather than a hammer, he says. While she doesn’t want to see the town lose business, Povlin thinks it’s important for new development to adhere to Farragut’s Architectural Design Standards. That will result in an upscale feel to the new development, she says. Cataldi has another idea for creating revenue: a gas tax. Because of the town’s proximity to the interstate, out-of-towners could help finance Farragut through a one- to two-cent gas tax, he says. When asked about how the board could improve communication with residents, both candidates expressed frustration over a lack of involvement. Povlin says she’s walked in each neighborhood and left notes with her phone number, asking for feedback. She received just one call – from someone complaining that she’d run over his
curb. She likes to connect with people personally because that’s what brings the community together, she says. She wants everyone to understand that aldermen aren’t paid, and they want the same things that residents want. “We live here, too.” Cataldi says residents don’t pay attention to local government unless they’re personally impacted. He sees value in a contested race because it compels residents to vote. During his campaign, he’s encouraged people to vote, even if they don’t vote for him. During his years as a Navy pilot, he was known as “the guy you had to convince.” If elected, he’d insist on having all of his questions answered, which might not sit well with everyone. “You can’t make everybody happy in a town of 22,000 people.”
2nd annual Travis Wegener Memorial Car Show
The legacy of ‘leading by example’ By Stacy Reed Levy Travis Donald Wegener “led by example,” that’s the legacy he left to the world! He was a son, brother, nephew, grandson and became an uncle right before he died. The world was such a better place with him in it! Sadly, his life was taken on Friday, Aug. 15, 2014. He died trying to protect somebody else, always putting other people’s needs ahead of his own. Travis was always smiling; his smile was so bright, infectious and contagious! He was always caring, always kind, always thinking of others, always helping others. He worked hard and loved his church, Sharon Baptist. So how do we move on after a tragedy like this? I’m not sure we really can, or are even supposed to move on, how can we? What are we supposed to learn from this? Because he left a huge legacy and we must “pay it forward.” We should learn from the examples that Travis set. In the Bible, Colossians 3:12, Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness and patience. So if each of us in some small way
Open to all makes & models Saturday, Aug. 13, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Food City, 7350 Clinton Highway in Powell (corner of Powell Drive and Clinton Highway) Lunch will be served by Food City with all proceeds going toward the Travis Donald Wegener Fund to Enhance Powell.
can adopt just one of his great character traits then maybe, just maybe, we can make a difference. We must be kinder, more humble, more caring. That’s what we are commanded to do, right? Well that’s what Travis did everyday! Everybody who knew Travis loved TraWegener vis! His kindness was abundant! Galatians 6:10, so then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith. Luke 6:31, And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise. He was in fact “humble and kind.” He was a landscaper by trade but what made him “shine bright” was his Godly sweet soul. He was so busy but always had time to help and sit with the widow “Father of the fatherless and protector of the widows is God in his holy habitation.” Psalm 68:5. Travis always helped with the children’s church, Sunday Schools when needed and was behind the scenes seeking absolutely no attention. “Start children off on the way they should go,
and even when they are old they will not turn from it.” Proverbs 22:6. Travis loved his Powell community and because Powell loved Travis so much, Powell Business and Professional Association has established a fund in his name that will “Enhance Powell.” There’s an annual car show, too. This year it’s on Saturday, Aug. 13, at Food City in Powell. How appropriate, because one of his favorite things was driving his Mustang! There’s even a disc golf course dedicated to Travis at Powell Station Park. Why am I writing this almost two years after Travis passed away you might ask? I started this letter right after he died but I couldn’t finish it, not until now. But I felt compelled to finish it because I truly believe that it’s important for people to know that there are good, sweet, Godly souls out there waiting and wanting to help you, hug you or just give a word of encouragement. In today’s time, it’s hard to find that sweet Godly sou l, but
they’re out there. “The righteous perish, and no one takes it to heart, and the devout are taken away, and no one understands that the righteous are taken away to be spared from evil.” Those who walk uprightly enter into peace; they find rest as they lie in death. Isaiah 57:1-2. I should close by letting you know that Travis will have a niece born on his birthday! His sister didn’t ask for that date, the doctor set it. Coincidence? I don’t think so … Travis is in heaven still thinking of others and taking care of his little sister. Happy birthday, Travis, and a very happy birthday to the new little one born on your special birthday! However, I have a feeling that you two have already met up there in heaven! Stacy Reed Levy grew up in Powell, the daughter of Jim and Dot Reed. She now is a television producer for Scripps Networks Interactive in Knoxville.
While you’re in Powell, stop by Powell Station Park to play the Travis Donald Wegener Memorial Disc Golf Course, paid for in part from proceeds of last year’s car show. Funds raised this year will go toward development of the Collier Preserve, an 11-acre natural park adjacent to Powell Branch Library.

Healing beat Chaplain LuAnne Prevost circles the drums for Peninsula patients The drums are beating on the banks of the Tennessee River, breaking through the quiet of a sunny June morning at Peninsula Hospital. A group of 11 men and women, all patients, sit in a circle under a shady gazebo just off the river’s shoreline. Tucked between their knees are West African djembe drums which they pound on rhythmically as Chaplain LuAnne Prevost chants, “Pain isn’t bad because it makes us strong … Pain isn’t bad because it makes us strong … Pain isn’t bad because it makes us strong.” “If you can say it, you can play it,” Prevost tells the group. “There may be something down the road waiting for us. We don’t know what it is; we don’t know when it will come. Pain is very unexpected. The unexpected in life is going to come to every one of us. There’s no way to avoid it. So that’s what I want us to think about today. How can we work through our pain? How can we sit in the mess of life and what can we learn from it? How can we say, ‘I know this is painful but I’m going to work through it.’” This is what is known as “drum circle therapy,” a therapeutic program for Peninsula patients battling various behavioral disorders. Prevost acts as facilitator, leading two sessions twice a week. “Believe it or not, banging on a drum is part of healing,” says Prevost, who holds a master’s of science in music education. “It’s sometimes hard for us to express how we are feeling. It’s sometimes hard for us to get it out but this
by-step process, sequential and linear in processing, while the right is more subjective and creative, and adapts to visual imagery. Drumming pulls from both. Music, whether it be playing a piano, cello, guitar, flute, trumpet or djembe drum, engages both brain hemispheres. Musical activities including drumming demonstrate long term benefits in memory, language development, concentration and physical agility.” Furthermore, Prevost says, drumming stimulates all of the senses except taste, awakening areas of the brain that may have been buried by broken relationships, abuse, fear, remorse or other emotions that are masked by drugs, alcohol or the psyche’s defense mechanisms. “You get to touch the drum, the smell of the drum is very pungent, you get to hear the drum and see the beauty of the drum,” she says. “I think that we can access areas of our soul maybe that we haven’t been able to access before, that we can find those painful places and maybe be able to bring them out and work through them.” Prevost continues this day’s session by discussing how the patients can turn pain into something positive, much in the way that the abduction and murder of 9-year-old Amber Hagerman led to AMBER alerts and the abduction and murder of 6-year-old Adam Walsh led to the successful America’s Most Wanted television show hosted by John Walsh.
LuAnne Prevost leads patients in a therapeutic drum session.
drum can take it. If you are frustrated, if you are happy, if you are angry, or if you just want to have some fun, you can get it out through the drumming.” While drumming has been used for everything from wedding and religious celebrations to communication and war throughout the centuries, it is now gaining favor as an adjuvant therapy tool in medical, communal and support settings. Proponents say drumming releases negative feelings and emotional trauma, reduces tension, anxiety and stress. Some studies have shown that drumming has calming, focusing, and healing effects on patients with Alzheimer’s
or Parkinson’s disease, autistic children and combat veterans. Others claim physical benefits such as: boosting the immune system, lowering blood pressure and controlling chronic pain. It has been studied by the National Institutes for Health, featured in Psychology Today and at least one research study boldly concluded that it actually increases cancerkilling cells. What’s the secret? Some say drumming activates both sides of the brain. “The left brain hemisphere is the more analytical side, while the right houses the more creative side,” explained Prevost. “The left side is more of a step-
“There are countless ways that we remember people who have suffered,” Prevost says to the drummers. “Now you may not have a television show or you may not have a way that an alert goes out, but how can you take a tragic set of circumstances and turn it into something positive? It doesn’t have to be a gigantic thing. You might share with your neighbor who’s going through a difficult time about something that happened to you and that can be part of their healing process.” More chanting and beating of the drums is followed by yet another topic: forgiveness. “You have your own things that you might be dealing with, and it may not be forgiving another person – it might be forgiving yourself,” Prevost says. “Choose what you want to play based on what your own feelings are. Find something that you can verbalize and you can play it out, and if you feel aggressive, that’s OK.” This discussion leads to a drumming session that sounds a bit more chaotic than the others, but Prevost says it doesn’t matter. “The people who listen to us may not think we’re very successful because we’re not ‘together.’ We all play the same rhythm, but we’re not all on the same beat. It’s not about what it sounds like. It’s about the engagement of the body, the mind, the senses. If somebody can leave here remembering ‘Forgiveness can set me free’ maybe they can take that with them, forgive, and not carry around a burden for the rest of their life.”
KSO string quartet music is medicine for the soul musicians and KSO’s music therapist Alana Dellatan Seaton at the Peninsula performance. The Music and Wellness program, whose mission is to provide live musical performances that enhance the healing process, is one of only 12 music and healthcare programs in the U.S. utilizing symphony musicians and one of only two known to be working with patients with mental health needs. Funded by a Getty Education and Community Investment Grant administered by the League of American Orchestras, the program has not only been able to expand to new areas of health care and support quantitative research on live music in healthcare settings, but has also enabled KSO to hire Seaton, a board-certified music therapist, to work with musicians to achieve non-musical medical goals. It is Seaton’s role to direct KSO musicians when they are working in health care settings, to help them understand specific patient population needs and to help them choose music most appropriate for certain healthcare settings. As
Members of the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra perform for Peninsula patients as a part of the Music and Wellness Program. a music therapist, she is trained to observe patients and use physical cues to tailor their music to be therapeutic for them. Three of the five musicians who performed at Peninsula – Eunsoon Corliss (viola), Sarah Matayoshi (violin) and Ilia Steinschneider (violin) – are Certified Music Practitioners (CMP) and the other two – Sean Claire (violin) and Stacy Nickell (cello) – are currently working on their CMP certification training to discern the best type of music treatment for listeners. “Our Music & Wellness group understands physical cues to look for in health care settings to help them tailor what they are playing so that it can be most beneficial to patients,” said Harrell. “I think
this group in particular sees the way that music can touch people each time they play in a healthcare facility. They seem to get a lot of job satisfaction from the interaction that they are able to have using music to help people. In almost every instance, I could see positive changes to patients’ body language indicating that the music was effecting them. Many of them were very kind in their comments to the quartet, letting them know how much the music meant to them.” But how does one know if the music is working? Aside from the physical and visual cues, the KSO is conducting research to document formal music therapy. It recently finished a study to document the effects of
live music by a professional symphony string quartet in an oncology waiting area and found more positive, expressive motor behaviors. That study is being submitted for publication. Another study is tracking heart rates, blood oxygen saturation levels and respiratory rates for infants in a neonatal unit. “In our work with the Music & Wellness program, we have noticed that populations that are more medically fragile generally show more immediate benefits from music,” said Harrell. “We actually see the most striking benefits for neonatal patients. I do think that some patient populations have a greater need and I think that music can be a very effective way to reach those populations.”

They can see it in their faces – a smile here or a tear there. That’s just what Knoxville Symphony Orchestra musicians were looking for – and found – when they visited Peninsula Hospital in January and May of this year as part of the symphony’s Music and Wellness program. Although the KSO outreach has been making three visits to both Fort Sanders Regional and Parkwest Medical Center each year since 2007, it was the first time the program has taken its Music & Wellness program to the 155-bed psychiatric facility just off Jones Bend Road. “During both visits we received very positive feedback from patients, and these are small things, visual cues like smiling, eye contact and interaction with the musicians. Some patients were moved to tears by certain pieces of music and many, many patients thanked the quartet at the end of the performance. Many pointed out individual pieces of music that had specific meaning for them,” said Jennifer Harrell, KSO Director of Education & Community Partnerships, who joined with the

Diabetes and Erectile Dysfunction Does Anything Actually Work? The Answer Is “Yes!” Diabetes - It is estimated that about 35% to 75% of men with diabetes will experience at least some degree of erectile dysfunction, also called ED or impotence, during their lifetime. Men with diabetes tend to develop erectile dysfunction 10 to 15 years earlier than men without diabetes. As men with diabetes age, erectile dysfunction becomes even more common. Above the age of 50, the likelihood of having difficulty with an erection occurs in approximately 50% to 60% of men with diabetes. Above age 70, there is about a 95% likelihood of having some difficulty with erectile dysfunction. Erectile dysfunction is a fact of life. Whether it occurs due to an accident, a recent surgery (prostate cancer is the biggie), diabetes, or simply due to aging, the accompanying loss of self esteem is something that effects millions of men every day. And in a nutshell, that seems to be the problem - every man’s ED problem is different and requires different treatment. Not all Solutions for Erectile Dysfunction are the same. To help you identify the best solution for you or your partners ED. Here are five critical things you should expect - even demand: 1. The physician should have extensive experience in treating ED. So much so they should be able to explain the 5 common treatments for ED. (Hint: There’s more than the little blue pill). 2. The physician should recommend you stay away from over the counter herbal treatments. 3. The physician should ideally be focused on only Men’s Sexual Performance in the practice, nothing else. 4. The physician should recommend implants only as a last resort. 5. Having had your prostate removed should NOT be the end of your sex life.
Men with ED caused by Diabetes are performing better and lasting longer. All it takes is one visit to TN Men’s Health here in Knoxville. The physician should be able to develop a protocol to get you consistently erect again. Somebody who Specializes in Men’s Sexual Health After extensive research, the only approach that makes sense comes from companies called the TN Men’s Health Clinic. There’s one here in Knoxville. Regardless of your age, Regardless of your medical history... they have satisfied patients ranging from 28 to 88... if you suffer from ED you should call today to schedule an appointment and regain your sexual health.

Meet the By Sandra Clark Exciting news! This year weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to cover Knox County Schools through the eyes of a very bright sixth grader (at left) named Kip Oswald. Kip doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know everything and some days he may not know
anything at all, but heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got friends in high places. Kip can find answers. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a question, just email Kip at oswaldsworldtn@ gmail.com Your questions will be answered by Kip â&#x20AC;&#x201C; soon to become Knox Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favorite son.
Alley is the youngest Oswald. Will she enroll in kindergarten? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the topic of discussion over on Page 2. Charlie is a fourth grade student in a traditional classroom. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty well adjusted, conscientious and dependable. What could go wrong???
These are the Oswald cousins â&#x20AC;&#x201C; twins and high school sophomores: Keshawn is taking career and technical classes at the Career Magnet Academy, while Talisha is goes to the L&N STEM Academy.

Oswaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s World! Welcome to Oswaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s World! I am Oswald, the newest writer on the Shopper staff. Through my not-so-typical family, you will experience some of the many challenges and decisions families face during their school journeys. Who is my family that makes our house really a little crazy most of the time? The two adults that keep everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s schedule are my mom and her sister, Aunt Betsy. Then there are six kids including me. Kinzy, my older sister, is away from home right now. More on that later. My younger brother, Charlie, is in fourth grade while my sister, Alley, could start kindergarten this year. Aunt Betsyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s twins are sophomores in high school but go to different schools. Talisha goes to the STEM Academy and Keshawn is beginning the Career Magnet Academy up at Pellissippi State. Oh, yeah, I attend 7th grade at a magnet middle school. Also, as a weekly writer on the Shopper staff, I will be finding answers to your questions about school and education from kindergarten through graduation! You can reach me, Oswald, with your questions and topic suggestions at oswaldsworldtn@gmail.com Look for the first article: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Will Alley Start Kindergarten?â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not far away. My editor says itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right here! How cool is that!?! Oh yeah, every week Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be giving you an â&#x20AC;&#x153;appâ&#x20AC;? which parents may enjoy. Remember, for every problem, â&#x20AC;&#x153;thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an app for that!â&#x20AC;?

PokĂŠmon Go is newest game craze Chances are someone in your life is playing PokĂŠmon Go. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the newest game craze, and it has kids and adults alike off the couch, away from their computers and gaming consoles and glued to their mobile devices. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Summer, when kids are out of school, is usually when families have peak Internet use at home,â&#x20AC;? says DeAnne Boegli, national public relations manager for TDS. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But this year, with so many people outside playing PokĂŠmon Go, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re betting the network usage numbers are going to be lower.â&#x20AC;? If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to know what the PokĂŠmon fuss is all about (and why there are people hanging out in your neighborhood park), TDS explains the basics. What is it? Think of it like a treasure hunt â&#x20AC;&#x201C; only the treasure is PokĂŠmon monsters. Players â&#x20AC;&#x153;findâ&#x20AC;? them in the real world by using a cell phone and essentially play the â&#x20AC;&#x153;hot or coldâ&#x20AC;? game. The mobile app visually shows players whether theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hot/close to the PokĂŠmon or cold/further away. Players try to find and â&#x20AC;&#x153;catchâ&#x20AC;? all different kinds of PokĂŠmon by throwing a ball-shaped trap (PokĂŠballs) at each monster. Once players capture PokĂŠmon, they â&#x20AC;&#x153;evolveâ&#x20AC;? them to make them stronger and win virtual battles against other people. Why are people hanging out at my local park? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably a PokĂŠ Stop or PokĂŠ Gym. These are real-life places where players can visit and get free virtual gamerelated items. In the app, a PokĂŠ Stop looks like two blue floating boxes tethered to the ground, but to the naked eye
theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re often local points of interest. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see people hanging out in certain spots,â&#x20AC;? explained Missy Kellor, a mom and TDS employee who recently started playing PokĂŠmon Go with her son. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the game, you want to be next to certain landmarks â&#x20AC;&#x201C; things like art, fountains and murals â&#x20AC;&#x201C; so you can get items that help you play and advance in the game.â&#x20AC;? Gyms are similar to PokĂŠ Stops. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re real-world places that PokĂŠmon players need to go. Rather than getting free stuff, PokĂŠmon players go to gyms to train or battle PokĂŠmon. How do you win? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a game that has an ending. Instead, the goal is to build a strong PokĂŠmon team and become a more experienced PokĂŠmon â&#x20AC;&#x153;trainer.â&#x20AC;? Is PokĂŠmon Go safe? That depends. There are concerns about kids being lured into dangerous situations and reports of injuries due to inattention â&#x20AC;&#x201C; people falling off curbs, walking in front of cars, etc. There were also some initial worries about how much information the app could access, but that apparently has been addressed in the latest update. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve told my son to follow some reasonable guidelines â&#x20AC;&#x201C; donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go onto private property, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go anywhere you wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t normally, bring water and go with a buddy,â&#x20AC;? said Kellor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I do recommend going out with your kids because youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have fun and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great excuse to be a little more active!â&#x20AC;?

UT to implement new bag policy for all athletic venues To enhance safety and expedite fan entry to athletic events, the University of Tennessee is implementing new safety policies for fans bringing bags into all athletic venues, including Neyland Stadium, beginning in August. Only one clear plastic bag no larger than 12 inches by 6 inches by 12 inches or a one-gallon clear resealable plastic storage bag per person will be permitted. Fans also will be allowed a small clutch purse not to exceed 4.5 inches by 6.5 inches. Tennessee Athletics has partnered with Visit Knoxville and Coca-Cola to provide all football season ticket holders with one complimentary bag per household. Additional support is courtesy of Academy Sports and Subway. Fans interested in purchasing an approved clear bag may visit the official team store at Neyland Stadium; VolShop locations in the Student Union, 17th Street and Cumberland Avenue, and University Commons; and other area retailers. The Southeastern Conference has mandated the new rules to take effect for the 2017 academic year, but UT has joined several other SEC universities, including the University of Alabama, Auburn Univer-
sity, the University of Florida, Louisiana State University, Mississippi State University, the University of South Carolina and Texas A&M, in implementing the changes for the 2016 season. No other bags will be allowed inside athletic venues, including Neyland Stadium. All items, including clear bags and clutch purses, are subject to search at the gates. Other prohibited items: â&#x2013; Alcoholic beverages, cans, bottles and coolers â&#x2013; Outside food, snacks and beverages â&#x2013; Radios without headphones â&#x2013; Open umbrellas â&#x2013; Video cameras, professional cameras or cameras with detachable lenses â&#x2013; Stadium seats with arms or pockets â&#x2013; Weapons of any kind, including pocket knives â&#x2013; Selfie sticks â&#x2013; Artificial noisemakers No items can be left or stored at the
gates. Fans can bring the following items inside athletic venues, provided they meet the size requirement: â&#x2013; Cushions or seats without arms or pockets â&#x2013; Small bags with medically necessary
items, subject to search (Note: Diapers and nonmedically necessary items for babies and young children must be carried in a clear bag.) â&#x2013; Small cameras, cell phones and binoculars

News from Emerald Youth Foundation of Knoxville
A Message from Steve Diggs Emerald Youth President and CEO This summer has been a tremendous one at Emerald Youth, and our successful engagement with children across the city is due in large part to the young adults serving as urban youth workers through the federal service proSteve Diggs gram, AmeriCorps. One such person is Thomas Davis. Thomas, a Fulton High School graduate who is entering his senior year at Johnson University, is serving with us this summer at Western Heights Baptist Center. He leads valuable learning activities, helps neighborhood kids make healthy lifestyle choices and works to build thriving relationships with the youth. Like many of our volunteers and youth workers throughout the years, Thomas is a product of the neighborhood in which heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s serving, so he is able to uniquely connect with the kids. As a matter of fact, he was involved in Western Heights Baptist Center as a youth, so he understands the challenges todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kids face and how, through Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work in their lives, they can mature into young men and women who will one day give back to their community. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what else is neat about Thomasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; role with us this summer: heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been interning with Emeraldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s communications department as part of his journalism major at Johnson University, so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve asked him to write a couple of stories for us this month. One is about his personal experience working with kids at Western Heights Baptist Center and the other is a wrap-up of the exciting Knoxville Force soccer season. I hope you enjoy reading both. It is a real joy to be in ministry with young adults like Thomas who care deeply for their city and are helping raise up children as the next generation of leaders in our urban neighborhoods. This work is only possible because of the generous support by so many throughout Knoxville. Thank you!
Making a
difference in Western Heights
By Thomas Davis Growing up as an inner-city kid in Western Heights, summer was a time for me to get away from school and hang out with friends, and a main location of stability for this was the Western Heights Baptist Center. Now as an urban youth worker through the AmeriThomas Davis Corps program, I have the privilege of serving in the JustLead Ministry at Western Heights Baptist Center and experiencing first-hand the difference summer makes for the kids. Many of them come from impoverished areas and are being raised in single-parent households. While we seek to have fun with the children daily, a main priority is to help them grow in their education. Many of the kids attending JustLead are either one or two reading levels behind their grade, so it is a goal to read every day. Throughout the summer, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen positive change in the kids from a behavior, education and faith perspective. At first, a child has to develop a trust that you have their best interest in mind. After trust is gained, the relationship is able to flourish into a mutual respect. I noticed children being responsible for themselves and their peers. This maturity comes from them understanding what an adult expects from

them and it carries over throughout the program. Under the guidance of Shannon Washam and Natalie Reyes, our program is able to show kids a different perspective of community. We routinely do Bible study, recreation, arts and crafts, and fun field trips to help our kids grow. Inner-
The Knoxville Force women were Southeast Conference Champions in the Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Premier Soccer League.
Kids become Royal Explorers Thanks to Johnson Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Urban Alliance initiative, more than 30 Emerald Youth middle schoolers attended Royal Explorers Science Camp this summer. Over the course of two weeks, youth visited Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Ijams Nature Center and the Knoxville Utilities Board, just to name a few. The camp helps students develop a passion for and knowledge of science. Emerald Youth kids enjoyed a tour of KUB during Royal Explorers Science Camp.
city programs like JustLead at Western Heights Baptist Center are a reason young people like me are able to flourish in society instead of becoming a horrible statistic. The love and care from Christian leaders gives kids an equal opportunity to make something of themselves in this world instead of following a path of evil.
Another Force season in the books
By Thomas Tho hom mas Davis ma Davi Da vis is
The Knoxvillee Fo Forc Force rcee so socc soccer ccer er sseaeaea son for the men and women was a flurry of ups and downs. Coming off an undefeated 2015 season, the women only collected two wins in the regular season this year. Arguably, those wins came at the most important time â&#x20AC;&#x201D; right before postseason play began â&#x20AC;&#x201D; propelling the women into the playoffs and winning the Southeast Conference Championship in the Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Premier Soccer League. After not winning a single game last year, the men won five games this summer, including two at home against Nashville and Birmingham. The turnaround can be credited in part to great fan participation and support, like that of fan group Scruffy City Syndicate, which at-
tended te nd ded d eeach ach ac h game game gam ga me cheering cheering on the t and team te am a nd d making mak akiing ing lots lo of noise. The environment and fan participation at Sansom Sports Complex, even on rainy game days, was a thrilling experience. The first home game this season introduced a record crowd of more than 400 fans. For each game the energy throughout the complex remained enthusiastic and jubilant. At half time, kids were invited to play a game at center field, bringing laughter and joy to those in attendance. All season long, the support of Force fans and highly competitive games left the image of the 2016 season as a progressive step to the future. As the season concluded, the growth of the Force and support of the fans began a new age of Knoxville Force soccer.

Education Commissioner says fewer tests this year By Sandra Clark Teachers and kids can expect fewer state-mandated tests in the upcoming school year. Andy Spears, writing online @TNEdReport, referenced an email from Candice McQueen, state education commissioner, to teachers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As we move forward
with a new assessment vendor (Questar), weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also streamlining our assessments to provide a better testing experience for you and your students,â&#x20AC;? McQueen wrote. The state has: â&#x2013; Eliminated Part I of the TCAP tests. All tests will be administered in one assessment window at the end of the school year.
â&#x2013; Reduced testing time. In grades three through eight, students will have tests that are 200-210 minutes shorter than last year. In high school, most endof-course tests have been shortened by 40-120 minutes. â&#x2013; Agreed to phase in online tests over multiple years. For the upcoming school year, the state as-
sessments in grades three through eight will be administered via paper and pencil. However, the state will work closely with Questar to provide an online option for high school math, English/language arts and U.S. history exams. Biology and chemistry end-of-course exams will be paper and pencil. â&#x2013; Decided to administer
a social studies field test, rather than an operational assessment for grades three through eight. This one-year reprieve provides time to develop an assessment for the 2017-18 school year aligned to the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tennessee-specific social studies standards. The high school test will continue as planned. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The goal of TCAP
hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t changed,â&#x20AC;? McQueen wrote. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re providing students the opportunity to demonstrate their critical thinking, problem solving and writing skills to ensure theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re progressing on the path to success after high school. However, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re taking a smarter logistical approach with a qualified, proven assessment vendor.â&#x20AC;?
