Halls Crossroads Women’s League honored members for their volunteer spirit last week at the annual luncheon. Carol Bayless and league president Janis Crye presented Mitzi Laws with the Volunteer of the Year award for her work in the community. Laws is a member of the HCWL Closet, hospice and scholarship committees. She is involved in numerous league activities and volunteered more than 350 hours last year, equivalent to working a 40-hour week for two months.

Paging Tommy Chase Vol historian Tom Mattingly is looking for Tommy Chase, who is believed to have graduated from Halls High School in the early 1990s and was briefly a handler for UT’s mascot Smokey. Mattingly is writing a book on the subject and asks either Chase or someone who knows how to get in touch with him to email tjmshm@comcast.net.

Freddie and Fannie and Jim A builder’s dilemma By Greg Householder When times were good, builder Jim Holt’s condo buyers got 100 percent loans guaranteed by the federal government. But when times got tough, the feds roared back, making it almost impossible for Holt to stay in business. “I can’t compete with the U.S. Treasury,” said Holt.

Through his company JB Homes, Holt began developing the Forest Landing condominium complex off Tazewell Pike in 2006. The condos were modestly priced at $89,900, and JB Homes sold 10 of 24 units in 2007. The units were approved for Federal Housing Administration (FHA) loans that were eligible to be bought by secondary mortgage market players commonly called Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. As the economy slowed, so did sales

at Forest Landing. Only one condo sold in 2010 and another in 2011. Holt has five units remaining. He reduced the price incrementally, getting as low as $70,000 in December. But he is competing with Uncle Sam. A buyer of one of his earlier units walked away from her obligations and the unit fell under the control of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) – the federal overseer of the various government housing businesses. This owner purchased the unit with government approved financing in September 2008 for a total loan of $93,800 (including financing costs, closing costs, etc.). Without local advertising or even a sign in the yard, HUD sold the unit in September 2011 for $46,200. Holt had no idea it was for sale, even though the unit was near one of the remaining condos he uses as a model and office. Holt believes an out-of-state investor – what he terms a “vulture investor” – discovered the property through the HUD website.

With this low-ball sale, the comparables are destroyed. Holt recently received an offer from a local “vulture investor” of $150,000 for four condos, or about half of what he still owes on his construction loan. “My wife told me not to call you,” he said. “She didn’t want people knowing our business. But I’m mad.” Holt had made a list of the subcontractors he hired. They’re unemployed or have taken other jobs. Forest Landing is a vibrant community with some 18 homeowners paying back 30-year mortgages based on an almost $90,000 purchase price. That’s a good price for a brand new, 2-bedroom, bath and a half condo in Fountain City. But it’s surely depressing to see an adjacent unit go for less than half that. And Jim Holt is hanging by a thread, trying to sell those final five units and pay off his construction loan. “First Tennessee has been great to work with,” he said, “but there’s a limit to their patience.” We’ve read about the failures of

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. “Bad business decisions,” the pundits say. But fundamentally, the federal government’s involvement in the housing business was destined to fail. And now the community is reaping the consequences of that failure.

Do you favor local veggies and meat over stuff from China? How about fair food prices across affluent and poorer neighborhoods? Want healthier school lunches? The Food Policy Council meets at 10 a.m. each third Tuesday at the CAC/MLB Building, 2247 Western Ave., to discuss these issues and more. Council reps visited the County Commission last week at the invitation of member and Commissioner Amy Broyles. Commissioner (and heart surgeon) Richard Briggs claimed to be the “only one (on the dais) who has sat at a farmers market, trying to sell merchandise.” Briggs is a bee keeper and raises blueberries and

fruit in an orchard on his farm. “How do prices compare?” he asked. Stephanie Welch said prices at a chain grocery store are lower than at a farmers market because of economies of scale, depending on the item, but increasing costs of transportation and labor may erase that advantage. The average potato travels 1,800 miles to reach our table, she said. Welch, who works for the Knox County Health Department, said studies show the lowest income sector of our community pays $20

Three cheers, baseball is near Unseasonably warm weather has made me catch more than just spring fever.

Jake Mabe

Yes, I’m already thinking about strikes, outs, curveballs and Cracker Jacks. Three cheers! Baseball is near! Here in Halls, baseball this spring will be somewhat bittersweet. You probably know by now that we lost Bob Polston last year. Bob was a successful high school football and baseball coach who later became one of Halls High baseball’s biggest boosters. Seems like he sat behind home plate, Yankees cap perched on his head and radar gun clutched in his hand, for a coon’s age. He also helped maintain the playing field. You’d probably have to go to a major league club to find a harder worker. Halls High School plans to name the baseball field in Bob’s honor this spring. I’ll be there to announce the

Author speaks at book review

For a first-time novelist to find an agent at all is a little like finding Willy Wonka’s golden ticket. It’s tough. Pamela Schoenewaldt found one in an afternoon. The former writer-inresidence at UT’s Hodges Library has struck gold with her first novel, “When We Were Strangers,” published by HarperCollins last year. Schoenewaldt gave a reading at the Open Door Book Review at the Fountain City Branch Library last week. The book is a historical novel, inspired by the author’s decade abroad in Italy, which highlights the immigration experience of a young Italian girl who comes to America in the 1880s.

ceremony. Please forgive me if my voice cracks. On a more positive note, things appear to be looking up for the Diamond Vols. New Tennessee baseball coach Dave Serrano gives a good impression. He’s got a great background. Serrano is a former UT assistant coach. He is also one of 11 head coaches to take two different teams to the College World Series. When a guy like New York Mets pitcher R.A. Dickey says he wouldn’t be the player he is today without Serrano’s influence, you perk up and take note. At UT’s Leadoff Banquet this month, Serrano was bluntly honest. He says the Vols aren’t going to make

it to Omaha this year. But he did say their goal is to make the SEC tournament. The immediate goal is even more basic than that – win the next pitch. “I can’t promise what our record is going to be,” Serrano said. “But you’re going to see a team that’s playing hard, playing with passion, playing together and having fun.” I’ll be bluntly honest, too. I did not renew my baseball season ticket following the 2009 season. The former coach is the reason why. Serrano’s hire is a different story. Who knows what the future will bring, but let’s just say I’ll be sitting in Section C, Row 9 at Lindsey Nelson Stadium this season.

Cunningham inducted into hall of fame By Jake Mabe Hanging on David Cunninghamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office wall at Beaver Brook Stables in Halls are photos of memories, awards, bric-a-brac of a life spent training and showing horses. Cunningham is quite proud of the latest plaque to adorn his wall. He was inducted into the United Professional Horsemen Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hall of Fame earlier this month. He received a green jacket and the Tom Moore Professional Horsemenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hall of Fame Award, given to Cunningham for his â&#x20AC;&#x153;contribution to the show horse industry, training abilities and professional conduct.â&#x20AC;? He says being recognized by his peers is quite an honor. Some folks think Cunningham Road, which runs near Beaver Brook Stables, was named after him â&#x20AC;&#x201C; David has been working with horses in Halls since the late 1950s â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but he actually grew up in the Burlington community. He says he had a difficult time in school because of vision problems. He would often go watch the horses at the Chilhowee Park fairgrounds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And I thought, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;You know, I want to be a horse trainer.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;? He began working at it as a youngster until the powers-that-be realized he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t old enough to have his own barn. Soon afterward, though, Cunningham heard that Ross Smith and Ray Leland had an operation in Halls. He went to work for

trainer Wink Groover. Eventually, the business was sold to Young Brothers until Cunningham and V.G. Kennedy, who passed away late last year, went into business together. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I could get the barn but I needed a business person to help me.â&#x20AC;? Halls was a rural hamlet back then and Cunningham says most people in the area couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford to buy their own horses at that time. That began to change as the community became more affluent. Deborah Black has been a client at Beaver Brook Stables since the early 1960s. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a perfectionist in the way he deals with horses and riders,â&#x20AC;? Black said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t put up with any silliness and I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been such a good trainer. When heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d tell you that you did good you really did good. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a better friend in the world.â&#x20AC;? Cunningham has won 15 World Grand Championships and 16 Reserve World Grand Championships in Louisville, Ky. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also being inducted into the Road Horse and Road Pony Hall of Fame. At Beaver Brook Stables, Cunningham teaches the fundamentals of horse riding, sells show horses, teaches clients how to ride and show and attends the shows with them, and does a limited amount of boarding. He says he specializes in Hackney ponies, Standardbred horses and

Community steps up to support fundraiser for the Shriners Sarah Boswell stopped by the Shopper office last week and was surprised to see the counter filled with containers of aluminum tabs. Boswell is collecting tabs through the end of February and will deliver them to Shriners Hospital in Kentucky to help raise money to help other children. Tabs may be dropped off at the Shopper office or contact Stacie Boswell, 661-9996.

Healthy eating American saddlebreds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have enormous respect for what David has achieved,â&#x20AC;? says Hadley Gamble, a producer for CNBC News who was one of Cunninghamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s students. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He told me with a good attitude you can do anything. He wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t talking about winning blue ribbons. It was about getting up every day and working hard for something. Not to have won, perhaps, but always to have fought well.â&#x20AC;? Another former customer, Jane Chedester, says David has an eye for a great young

horse like nobody else. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When he says, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Now this is a good one,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d better listen. David had a real ability to pair horses with the appropriate rider or driver.â&#x20AC;? In addition to serving local customers, Cunningham has also sold horses to actor Slim Pickens and to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Star Trekâ&#x20AC;? legend William Shatner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I enjoy it,â&#x20AC;? Cunningham says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to keep doing it as long as I can.â&#x20AC;? You can reach David Cunningham at Beaver Brook Stables at 688-2770.

government Where’s the board oversight? There is lots of talk about Gloria Ray. She made the Charlie Daniel cartoon as Gloria Pay over her $405,000 annual salary. Jack Neely lampooned her cleverly as Gloria in Excelsius. Jack McElroy called for more accountability.

executive committee even voted on it. The board should take a remedial course on fiduciary responsibility and then practice it. It is also unclear how much time Ray spends in Knoxville. She does not take annual leave time to attend her second $90,000 a year job as a board member of Blue Cross when it meets in Chattanooga. ■ Next week the city will advertise to fill the Donna Young greenways coordinator position which will be renamed greenways and parks coordinator. Former City Council member Charlie Thomas may be an applicant. He has been a longtime greenways advocate and Rogero supporter. ■ Rogero spokesperson Jesse Mayshark also tells me that the tree replacement budget will be recommended to go from $40,000 a year to $80,000 assuming council approval in the next budget. While this is good news, much more will be needed to replace the trees on city property killed in the last major storm and replace those which annually die. A “green” city will want to stress trees in its city budget for medians, parks and greenways. The city tree budget over the past several years was inadequate to stay even with the normal tree death rate, let alone major wind and hail storms. ■ Chris Irwin filed his lawsuit against TVA on Jan. 23 in federal court. He is protesting TVA barring him from a public hearing because he wore red paint on his face. Irwin claims violation of his First Amendment rights and seeks $50,000 in damages. Amazing that TVA tries to enforce a dress code for its public hearings. No other public agency tries to do such.

Victor Ashe

It is hard to defend such an excessive salary. Several things stand out in this situation. Ray’s salary has stunned most area observers. No one imagined that it was more than $400,000 a year and has been for several years. Apparently her own board members did not know and never asked what she was paid. Their performance would not be part of a best practices seminar for nonprofit boards. Ray should know that her pay is subject to public scrutiny due to the 990 IRS forms which the Sports Corporation must file. Furthermore, most of its funding comes from public money which is the hotel/motel tax. She and the board should know that receiving such a high salary would embarrass the corporation she worked for when it became public. It has brought an unneeded spotlight on her and KTSC which has diminished their public standing. Her board, which includes many able and respected citizens, has been caught mostly unawares and they look ill informed when they say they did not know her salary. Board members of any for-profit or nonprofit group ought to know what their CEO’s salary is and annually vote on it. It is unclear if the

A-4 • JANUARY 30, 2012 • HALLS/FOUNTAIN CITY SHOPPER-NEWS

Salary debate shifts from ‘how much’ to ‘who leaked’ The money Gloria Ray makes has set tongues wagging and fingers pointing.

Betty Bean That’s because $405,000 a year is a lot of money. New York money, except in Knoxville. It comes from the hotel/ motel tax – 45 percent of Knox County’s take and 5 percent more than state law mandates they hand over for tourism promotion. It’s a handsome sum that goes to the Knoxville Tourism & Sports Corporation, of which Ray is founder and CEO. And it’s money that a bunch of other nonprofit organizations devoutly believe they could put to better use. They will have the opportunity to make their case during upcoming city/county budget cycles. But they better bring their A-game, because, as she demonstrated last week, they’ll be playing on Ray’s court. Has that home court advantage been neutralized by chumming up the water with a hot mess of rumors just before budget hearings begin?

Maybe. A $400K salary, even though about half of it comes from incentive bonuses earned by meeting prescribed goals, is bound to cause resentment. Especially when (and I’ll echo County Commissioner Amy Broyles here) it’s a woman making it. Checking out the comment sections on local media sites should remove any doubt about that proposition. Think back 15 years. What happened in the era of Tom Ingram, who became the CEO of something called the Knox Area Chamber Partnership (into which he unsuccessfully attempted to force Ray’s Sports Corporation)? Was there talk about his $200,000 a year base salary (plus perks we never figured out) to do stuff like warn us that downtown was doomed unless we agreed to foot the bill for a space-age planetarium funhouse guaranteed to catapult us into something called the 4th Dimension? (Seriously. He said that.) Was there grumbling about the $12,500 a month he collected for six months after he departed to explore opportunities elsewhere? Yes, but nothing like the feeding frenzy of Gloria gossip that is now out in the open. In the epicenter of the

able to bullying at ages 13-17, he said. Attacks against them on websites or through social media hurt most because at these ages kids care a lot about what others say about them. Patire advised that there are four distinct steps that parents must follow: 1) discuss the situation with the alleged bully’s parents (usually in the presence of school administrators); 2) failing that, inform the school administration that they have three days to resolve the issue; 3) failing that, involve the police; 4) and finally, if all else fails, bring a civil lawsuit. Patire also discussed ways to protect kids from pedophiles, providing demographic information about victims of pedophiles and pedophiles themselves. The evening wrapped up with a demonstration by the Knoxville Tae Kwon Do Academy demonstration team and some hands-on personal defense tips by Patire.

Personal protection specialist Tom Patire, billed as America’s leading personal safety expert, spoke to a group of parents about bullying and other child safety issues last Thursday at the Jubilee Banquet Facility in Powell.

Improving schools Dr. Jim McIntyre ended his first State of the Schools address to a standing ovation, but the crowd at Gresham Middle School was too small and the unrest among teachers too pronounced.

Sandra Clark Afterwards, this newspaper hosted dinner for several students and professors from UT’s Department of Child and Family Studies, which prepares teachers for preschool through grade 3. Many of the students had recently completed internships in Knox County Schools and were quick to voice teacher concerns about the rapid changes underway. Evaluations have in-

creased from once every five years to three or four times per year and tenure can be revoked after two years of low evaluations. All of a sudden a solid job has become a lot less secure. While the professors felt free to talk (tenure still reigns at UT), the students were hesitant. After all, they’re finishing up five or six years of college and need to get hired. The comments ranged from anger about “scripted curriculum” to doubt that McIntyre and the school board understand the depth of teacher morale. “Helping children develop a love of reading is very different from literacy,” said one. “The verdict is still out on this approach (to learning),” said Dr. Mary Jane Moran. “We know the (previous) system produced you and you and you,” she said, pointing around the table. “It produced

Paterno and Majors TALES OF TENNESSEE | Marvin West

his is not a directive for how to remember Joe Paterno. It is mere insight from an old rival who became a friend. John Majors says those who really knew Joe will revere his memory. Outsiders who judge the Penn State tragedy are likely to reach mixed conclusions. For some, the old coach who died last week will forever be saddled with the charge of not doing enough to stop the Jerry Sandusky scandal. Joe said he wished he had done more. Paterno will bear the blame for not seeing or hearing anything, for offering ignorance as an excuse, for not grasping the horror of child rape, for gingerly handing off the problem and losing his voice. Others who almost worshipped him, who bowed to JoePa as king of the Happy Valley kingdom, will go right on believing he was the greatest, unfairly blamed and shabbily mistreated, cast out as a commoner after all he had done. Sixty-one years, 409 victories, library, spiritual center. Some still weep. Majors says he does not have all the facts. He will not pass judgment. He does hope what happened will be but a chapter and not the whole book. The two did not know each other when Majors, new coach at Iowa State, phoned to ask Paterno’s opinion of tear-away jerseys. “He didn’t know what I was talking about. It was a short conversation.” They got acquainted when Majors became coach at Pitt. They infrequently crossed paths in recruiting.

“Maybe three or four times, in a hallway or parking lot, in four years.” Sometimes they attended the same dinner or civic event. “I didn’t want to get to know him,” said Majors. “I wanted to beat him.” Penn State had enjoyed a decade of dominance. Majors soon built the Panthers to a competitive equal. “On the day after Thanksgiving, 1976, Coach Paterno and I met for the pregame greeting. He had read that Bill Battle had resigned at Tennessee. He said it was apparent that Tennessee would come after me. “He said he hoped I wouldn’t go, that I had brought the rivalry back to what it ought to be.” Indeed, Three Rivers Stadium was rocking. National TV was there for the show. The first half was 7-7. Majors made an adjustment, to an unbalanced line, Tony Dorsett at fullback instead of tailback in the I-formation. On his first carry in the third quarter, Tony went up the gut for 35 and a touchdown. Pitt won and went on to the national championship. Paterno never said anything else about Majors staying at Pitt. When John belatedly returned, the rivalry was gone again. Majors and Paterno started to become friends in 1978. Nike, pushing in the shoe business, signed them and others for clinics, 100 pair of free cleats for teams, $15,000 and a classy cruise or retreat week for coaches. John and Mary Lynn Majors shared a condo with Joe and Sue Paterno at St. Thomas. “Joe’s clothes were three days late in arriving. I am a notorious

overpacker. I had three extra of everything. It so happened we were both 34 in the waist, 31 inseam, 42 regular jacket, 10 1/2 shoes. For years, Joe told the story that those were the three best-dressed days of his life.” Paterno often told another Majors story, about the 1971 Penn State game at Tennessee, a 31-11 victory for the Vols on Majors Family Day. Bobby Majors had almost 200 yards in punt and kickoff returns. Paterno said that the younger Majors beat him worse than John ever did. Joe was too polite

to bring up the 1992 Fiesta Bowl. Tennessee, 10 ahead in the third quarter, fell to 25 behind in less than eight minutes. Oh my. Word spilled out that Paterno, on occasion, liked a sip of Jack Daniels, featured product from Lynchburg, John’s hometown. He arranged for Paterno to become a Tennessee Squire. Majors respected Paterno’s intelligence and generosity and admired his simple coaching philosophy. “He didn’t overcoach. He had great players and he let them play. His offense was not fancy

or colorful. He was sound on fundamentals. He threw on third and long. He had 30 years of excellent linebackers. He built the legacy. He earned the respect.” Majors is obviously saddened by the Penn State crash. The hurt runs deeper. John and Mary Lynn will soon share their sympathy with Sue Paterno and maybe exchange a few yarns. “I said earlier that I didn’t want to know Joe Paterno in the beginning. I was afraid I might like him. I did.” Marvin West invites reader reaction. His address is westwest6@netzero.com.

Evangelist Tim Lee speaks at Grace Baptist Church, reading John 4:13-14. Photos by T. Edwards of TEPHOTOS.com

Walking with God By Theresa Edwards Grace Baptist Church hosted evangelist Tim Lee on Jan. 22. His message was both inspiring and encouraging. Lee was a rebellious teenager who protested against all authority, including his father, a Baptist minister. He was a born fighter and joined the Marine Corps in 1969 to escape the world around him. His life was changed forever March 8, 1971, as he served in Guang Nam Province, Vietnam. As he was leading his troop on a mine sweep, his last step landed on a 60-pound box mine which he described as feeling “like a miniature volcano.” Before he passed out, he weakly prayed, “On no! … God, not my legs. … Lord … please … God get me home to mom and dad. … I’ll do whatever you want me to do.” Although Lee lost his legs, he did not lose his life. He writes, “God had taken the legs that had carried me from His will. My running had finally ended.” That is

dates can be healthy, too leased in the brain when couples first ‘fall in love.’ So, exercise to keep both body and relationship healthy and strong.” ■ Go on a m i n i- adventure. Race go-carts. Try in-door skydiving. Go bungee-jumping, mountain climbing, or spelunking together. Take an impromptu overnight trip to some place you and your partner have never been, and leave the travel guide and itinerary at home. ■ Take a hike (and a picnic). Pack a healthy picnic and journey on one of the many nature trails in Knoxville or head to our nearby Great Smoky Mountains National Park and enjoy the scenery there. ■ Just dance. Take your partner dancing and forgo the drinks. Stay hydrated with zero-calorie water instead and even burn calories in the process. “Ballroom dancing is in the top 10 exercises you can do because it works all of your muscle groups,” said Lizza Jackson, ballroom dance instructor and owner of

nization. For volunteer opportunities in the area, contact Becky Hare with the Knoxville-Knox County Community Action Committee at 524-2786. “A lot of people like to volunteer with a

partner,” Hare said. “And once I even had a couple in their 60’s who met while volunteering for one of our projects. They ultimately got married, and the last I heard, they were living happily ever after.”

Business owners Tom Campbell and Darrell Dalton and City Council member Marshall Stair (seated) talk with others about crime in the North Knoxville business district. Behind them are carpet store owner Johnny Harb, former City Council member Jack Sharp and City Council member George Wallace.

The brunt of homelessness By Betty Bean To Darrell Dalton, simply doing business sometimes feels like he’s on the front line of a war zone. Last week, he told a group of his Downtown North neighbors meeting at the Time Warp Tearoom that the area is suffering the unintended consequences of other people’s good intentions. Dalton owns the iconic Original Freezo at 1345 N. Central Avenue, at the north end of the revitalizing Happy Holler business district, just around the corner from the FISH Hospitality Pantry/ food warehouse at 122 W. Scott Ave. The FISH food giveaways on Tuesdays and Thursdays, funded by area churches, have brought everlonger lines of needy people to the neighborhood. The lack of restroom facilities makes for unpleasant sanitary situations in the neighborhood’s alleys and doorways, and Dalton and neighbors like Time Warp owner Dan Moriarity say they have had to deal with increased vandalism, vagrancy and other nuisances. Add that to their proximity to the Broadway “mission district” with its large homeless population plus the plethora of prostitutes plying their wares up and down Central, and these business owners say they are fighting a losing battle, despite the money and effort that city government has pumped into the area in recent years. “Tuesdays and Thursdays, it’s a feeding frenzy at the FISH Pantry,” Dalton said. “They pull them from everywhere. And all these missions, they draw people in here and then they’re our problem. There are no bathroom facilities anywhere. This is where the

Time Warp Tearoom owner Dan Moriarity shows where vagrants relieve themselves in the alley behind his building. Photos by Ruth White

city could really help out.” Dalton said that panhandling and vagrancy are daily problems at his business and that he makes a point of finding out who his uninvited, nonpaying visitors are and where they come from. “I think it’s important to know those people and for those people to know me,” he said, addressing a contingent from the Knoxville Police Department who attended the meeting. He told them about four men who were sitting at a picnic table on his property drinking beer. Three of them left when he approached , but one was defiant. “Next thing I know I’m in a confrontation,” he said. “And I’m gonna win on my property, guys. If I lose, they’re gonna run over me. …” Jim Wright, who owns rental property in the area, convened the meeting, which was attended by City Council member Nick Della Volpe, Mark Campen,

George Wallace, Marshall Stair and Brenda Palmer as well as County Commissioner Amy Broyles, County Law Director Joe Jarret and Sheriff Jimmy “J.J.” Jones. “We need a lot more attention and a lot more help. I think we deserve maybe a little more police protection around here, I really do,” Wright said. Cynthia Turnage, owner of Broadway Academy of Performing Arts, has kept her doors locked since the evening when a large man came by and asked for money. She gave him the change she had in a tip jar. “I felt very threatened,” she said. KPD Lt. Tim Snoderly said that Chief David Rausch is very committed to community policing and introduced the group to Sgt. Brian Bush, who will coordinate meetings with community groups around the city. “We are going to consider this a hot area,” he said.

Student’s artwork goes to Nashville By Jake Mabe Here’s a story guaranteed to make you grin. State Sen. Becky Duncan Massey has decided to have artwork drawn by students in her district placed in her office when the state Legislature is in session. “I’m trying to target a couple of schools a session,” Massey says. “I thought about doing an art contest, but am letting the schools decide how they want to choose the artwork.” And here’s the cool part. Halls High School art

teacher Jerry Lewis selected a piece of art by ShyAnna Wilson, did not start taking art classes until her senior year. Lewis says that Wilson’s talent is such that she advanced from Art I last semester to Advanced Placement Art this semester. “It’s amazing,” Lewis says, “to see that type of talent in Art I. You just want more opportunities to work with her. Going from Art I to AP will require that she create 24 pieces that will be judged by a college board. But with her quality of work, that’s feasible. It’s rare and it’s exciting.”

Wilson says she draws and doodles a lot and has been inspired by several members of her family, who also draw. She was in the marching band at Halls for three years and says she’s been a band member since the 6th grade. “I’m glad she got to experience this (art class),” Lewis says. “It’s still part of the arts like band. That’s what high school is Halls High art teacher Jerry Lewis and state Sen. Becky Duncan Massey show all about.” the artwork by Halls High student ShyAnna Wilson (pictured in inset), which has Wilson is still trying to been chosen to hang in Massey’s office during the current legislative session.

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

Migraines â&#x20AC;&#x201C; You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to live with the pain! Stephanie Monday had accepted her migraines. She was resigned to the fact that she was going to probably experience a migraine every day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought this is just the way itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be,â&#x20AC;? she remembers. The Seymour woman had tried to alleviate her chronic headaches with different medications and therapies for years, but the pain only increased and grew more frequent. This summer, Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s general physician recommended that she visit Dr. Henry Hooker of Fort Sanders Neurology Associates and the Knoxville Headache Center. Dr. Hooker is a neurologist and headache specialist. Dr. Hooker understands how frustrating and painful migraines can be for patients like Monday. He says people should not suffer in silence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to know there is hope. Chronic headaches are often undertreated and underdiagnosed, so patients need to know they are not alone,â&#x20AC;? says Dr. Hooker. Dr. Hooker took a comprehensive approach to diagnosing the

source of Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s migraines. An accurate diagnosis was the ďŹ rst step. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With each new headache patient, we conduct a careful physical and patient history, with imaging (MRI or CT scan) of the brain,â&#x20AC;? explains Dr. Hooker. Monday was grateful for Dr. Hookerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s methodical approach to treatment. She was desperate for relief from the ongoing pain. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was a mess when I got to Dr. Hooker,â&#x20AC;? Monday admits. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My blood pressure was out the roof and I was having migraine-induced high blood pressure.â&#x20AC;? Monday says she was taking a cocktail of headache medicine at the time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was overly medicated on the wrong things. The ďŹ rst thing Dr. Hooker did was to take me off all the medicines,â&#x20AC;? explains Monday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It felt like I was detoxing.â&#x20AC;? Dr. Hooker worked with Monday to ďŹ nd a medication that would help prevent the migraines and prescribed a medicine to address the pain when she experienced an acute headache. Migraine sufferer Stephanie Monday is finding relief from pain with the right â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was important that I take a medication and physical therapy.

medicine that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t impair me,â&#x20AC;? says Monday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss work, so I have to be able to function.â&#x20AC;? In addition to changing her medication, Dr. Hooker also recommended that Monday undergo physical therapy for headache relief at the Fort Sanders Therapy Center downtown. There, Monday learned exercises she could do at home that strengthened speciďŹ c muscles in her neck to help maintain proper posture and decrease her pain. With the new medication and physical therapy, Monday says her migraines are ďŹ nally manageable. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gone from having them every day, to just a couple of days a month,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Having so many days now with zero pain is wonderful!â&#x20AC;? Monday says people need to know that they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to just live with their migraines. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give up. Keep trying what your doctors tell you. You can get relief. It might not be 100 percent, but it can be so much better!â&#x20AC;? For more information about the Knoxville Headache Center at Fort Sanders Neurology Center, call 865-541-4321.

What do you know about migraine headaches?

Physical therapy â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A novel approach to headache relief If you think of â&#x20AC;&#x153;physical therapy,â&#x20AC;? most people associate it with exercises that strengthen muscles in your arms or legs. But, did you know there is also physical therapy designed to alleviate headaches? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offered at the Fort Sanders Therapy Center in downtown Knoxville. Center manager Stephen Karp specializes in chronic neck pain and headache therapy. Karp is well known in the medical community for being able to resolve some of the most difďŹ cult cases for patients in a short period of time. Migraine patient Stephanie

Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s neurologist referred her to Karp. She was amazed at how a few simple, but targeted, exercises could relive her headache pain. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh, my goodness! Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been great. Stephen taught me exercises I can do at home that take the pressure off my neck and decrease my headaches.â&#x20AC;? Monday says Karp also assessed how her posture was contributing to her head and neck pain. He coached her on a series of exercises to strengthen her neck and shoulder muscles and talked with her about sleeping positions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are so many little things I never realized could help my

headaches,â&#x20AC;? says Monday. While the Fort Sanders Therapy Center treats all kinds of conditions, the popularity of physical therapy for headaches is growing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had quite a few headache patients,â&#x20AC;? explains Karp. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d say many of them have postural issues that were easily resolved with physical therapy.â&#x20AC;? Karp works closely with neurologists to assure that the therapy is in concert with their treatment. For more information about headache relief and other types of physical therapy offered, contact the Fort Sanders Therapy Centers at 865-541-1300.

Handcrafted valentines Valentine’s Day is just a few weeks away, and it’s never too early to start thinking of a gift for your sweetheart.

Ruth White

One of the easiest and most personal ways to let someone special know that you’re thinking of them is to create a gift that is from your heart. Don’t get me wrong. If my husband were to bring me roses and delicious chocolates for Valentine’s Day, I wouldn’t refuse them, but something made by him would have such special meaning. Amanda Patton recently taught a class at the Halls Senior Center and showed participants how to create unique hearts using felt, buttons and embroidery thread. Each heart was a colorful work of art when complete and is sure to bring smiles all around when given out. Patton displayed the hearts several ways, includ-

Children’s Hospital gets cancer grant The St. Baldrick’s Foundation, a volunteer-driven charity dedicated to raising money for childhood cancer research, has awarded an infrastructure grant of $50,000 to East Tennessee Children’s Hospital. The grants provide institutions with resources to enable them to conduct more research and enroll more kids in ongoing clinical trials – their best hope for a cure. Worldwide, more than 160,000 children are diagnosed with cancer each year and it remains the leading cause of death by disease among children in the United States. Yet only 4 percent of all federal cancer research funding is dedicated to pediatric cancer research.
