ford sent an email to county officials elaborating on concerns about the mold problem and about larger concerns due to overcrowding. “We currently have music, art, resource, speech and language, all of 4th and 5th grade (three classrooms each) in the portables. This year one 3rd grade class was moved out into the portables due to a kindergarten class being added, to bring us up to five kindergarten classes. If the number of children remains the same we will need
to add an additional 1st grade and a 2nd grade class (due to the number of 1st graders this year) next year. That will be two new classes that will need to be added to portables, which would give us three full grades (nine classrooms) in the portables. “When will an addition to Shannondale be planned? If not an addition, are there plans to reduce the number of students in the school or add more portable buildings? While I am not a fan of rezoning or additional portables, the Shannondale facilities cannot continue, as they currently exist, to support the overloaded classes and continuing increase in the number of children coming into the school.” One of the parents at the meeting drew a smattering of applause when she addressed a question to the superintendent: “To be blunt, what does it take to get rid of the portables and get an addition? How do we do it? Go on a campaign like Carter? We can do that,” she said, referencing the campaign to build a new Carter Elementary School. “We need to take a look at the level of support for education in our community,” McIntyre said, advising the PTO members to talk to their county commissioners.

Compassion Coalition sponsors numerous ministries throughout Knoxville, including a furniture ministry on Saturdays where crews deliver donated furniture to recently housed Compassion Coalition volunteer Char Taylor and clearing house formerly homeless men director Gina Whitmore connect a caller with a church family and women, and a clearing using their map of church partners all across Knox County. Photo house staffed by volunteers by N. Lester
which connects the needy with various church families all over the county. “We don’t want it to be a one hot meal thing. We want to give them a body of believers to walk along with them,” Standefer said. The Coalition also partners with Knox County District Attorney General Randy Nichols to coordinate juvenile offenders who can do their community service hours alongside church members. “The recurrence rate for participants in the Restorative Justice program is less than 10 percent,” Standefer said. “The national average is more than 60 percent.”
Shannondale parents skeptical of mold abatement By Betty Bean Headaches, sore throats, swollen lymph glands, lethargy and diarrhea are some, but not all, of the symptoms that parents of Shannondale Elementary School 5th graders say their children are suffering because their portable classrooms have been contaminated with mold. School officials say the classrooms have been successfully decontaminated of Aspergillus/Penicillium that was discovered in the flooring of a building that was damaged by a fallen tree over the summer. But parents like Victoria Battershell, who has twin daughters in the 5th grade – one of whom suffers from an autoimmune kidney-related disease, the other of whom is asthmatic – remain skeptical. “My children have been coming home sick since (they were returned to their classroom Sept. 9). You still have children and teachers exhibiting the same symptoms that cleared up when they were taken out of those buildings.”
Knox County Schools supervisor of maintenance and operations Jim French made an unusual offer to some 50 Shannondale Elementary School parents who attended a PTO meeting last week: “I would not care to go out in that portable and lick any part of it.” He also advised Battershell, a registered nurse who is an instructor of nursing at Walters State Community College and is working on an advanced degree, that she shouldn’t expend so much energy researching the issue: “You can go on the Internet and look up mold and scare yourself to death,” he said. On Sept. 2, Shannondale’s entire 5th-grade class was removed from the threeclassroom portable building and required to attend classes in the gymnasium for a week while workers replaced the floors and subflooring. The school system’s environmental department performed limited air and surface sampling for mold in two of the classrooms on

Superintendent Dr. Jim McIntyre said he had not been made aware of ongoing health issues and attempted to reassure the parents that their children’s health is his administration’s prime concern, but many expressed skepticism. “We just don’t have confidence in what we are hearing now,” Battershell said. She asked for third party testing. On Sept. 9, Shannondale PTO co-president Kelley Flat-
Take a sentimental journey … Elmcroft hosts ‘USO Tavern’ during Assisted Living Week By Jake Mabe Throw in period attire, American flags and even a 1940s-era Nash Ambassador originally built for the U.S. Army, and you’ve got yourself a full-blown re-created USO Tavern. Elmcroft of Halls Assisted Living staff members transported residents on a sentimental journey back to World War II last week as part of a weeklong celebration for National Assisted Living Week. Community relations director Rebecca Lane, herself dressed in period clothing, said patriotic events were held throughout the week,
including a flag dedication on 9/11, a “Keep the Home Fires Burning” candle lighting, the USO Tavern, a women’s softball game (“like they did when the men were away”) and music on the lawn with Praise 96.3-FM, which offered a free hot dog and Coke for anyone in uniform. Resident Floyd Brown, 95, borrowed an Army jacket for the occasion. Brown served on submarines in the U.S. Navy during World War II and was stationed in Hawaii, preparing for the invasion of Japan, when the atomic bomb was dropped at Hiroshima and Nagasaki
in August 1945. “When it dropped, the plans changed,” Floyd said. Sherman and Barbara Phifer drove up in a 1946 Nash Ambassador for the USO Tavern celebration. The Nash was built for the U.S. Army but was never used.

community Granny McConkey was unique Dr. Bruce Marston looked around Mynatt’s Chapel at the beautiful, talented family of Erma E. “Granny” McConkey. “When Granny got married, she had no idea she was going to cause all this trouble,” he joked. Granny passed away Sept. 7 at the age of 95 (or maybe 96). She lived life fully. On the day she died, she wore her favorite diamond earrings, played bingo at the Halls Senior Center (and won once) and ate lunch at a restaurant. By day’s end, she had a stroke and was gone. A granddaughter, Rhonda Vineyard, said Granny was able to acknowledge family members who gathered at her bedside. “We would say our name and hold her hand. She would squeeze twice to let us know she understood.” Granny was a Halls institution. When cuts threatened the dance at the Halls Senior Center, Granny organized a parking lot dance to protest. Politicians felt the heat, and the dances were restored.

Stream restoration project delayed Labor Day weekend rain and a string of bad luck have delayed the Beaver Creek stream restoration project along the Halls Greenway behind Food City, according to Knox County Watershed Coordinator Roy Arthur.

“Our contractor, LBS Services, had several glitches occur that have delayed the project,” Arthur said in an email last week. “We expected to start the project the week after the greenway closed, but the contractor had his pick-up truck stolen with all his tools on it. The pick-up was chained to a low boy trailer, but the thieves got it anyway. It took a week for him to replace everything. This set us back a week. “Then the contractor’s Track Hoe broke down and we lost another week for repair. Then the rains came.” The project team assessed the situation last week and on Friday was expected to pick a date for resuming the project. Arthur said work is expected to resume this week. “This is the first project of this kind we have attempted. We will be doing more in the future, some on county park land, and will learn from this experience.” Parks and Greenways coordinator Rebekah Jane Justice encourages greenway users to use the temporary alternate greenway route, which can best be accessed from either the Halls Branch Library or Halls Community Park.
Work is expected to resume on the Beaver Creek stream restoration project this week. A string of bad luck involving stolen tools, inoperable equipment and the Labor Day weekend rain is being cited as having delayed the project. Photo by Jake Mabe

Halls High seeks input to name baseball field for Bob Polston

Polston Mr. Polston, who passed away in August, spent many of the final years of his life maintaining the field. He is the former county athletic director and was a longtime football and baseball coach at Knox area schools. “In order to receive permission to honor his memory and his family, the Superintendent (Jim McIntyre) has requested that I poll

GOSSIP AND LIES
Sizzle or fizzle Candidates make final pitches
Fun and funds from films With tax revenue flat-lining, governments need new sources of funds. There are 8 million stories in the Naked County aching for a shot at the big screen.
‘Dirty Timmy’
Acclaimed director Dean Rice brings you a story for the ages, the tale of the man who wouldn’t say quit. They called him – “Dirty Timmy.” School board member: You got nothing, Dirty Timmy. Just try bringing that Carter Elementary project back here for a vote. Dirty Timmy: I know what you’re thinking, punk. Does he have five votes or only four? Tell you the truth, I forgot myself in all this excitement. So you have to ask yourself: Do I feel lucky? Well, do you, punk? Dirty Timmy, the man who stood tall even when his best developer deserted him. Devon: I’m pulling out, Timmy. We’re getting too much heat, and Commissioner Broyles is just too powerful to go up against. Dirty Timmy: You disappoint me, but I’ll find some new Partners. The “don’t miss” film of the year, the startling conclusion of “Dirty Timmy” will stay with you forever! Coming in October, November, December or whenever.
‘Beck: I told you so’
This provocative documentary from director Sam McKenzie captures the Beck Cultural Exchange Center’s struggle to clear its name and keep its doors open after its funding was slashed and County Commission ordered an audit of the center’s books. “The auditor ‘went the extra mile’ and didn’t find anything,” McKenzie said. “I’d been saying all along the audit would come out clean.” But the film reveals that the battle may not be over. “Beck got a good report, but the critics may not be satisfied,” said McKenzie. “I’m guessing they’ll say the auditor was incompetent or the audit didn’t go far enough.” McKenzie’s incisive analysis introduces what he calls “the Obama factor” in local politics. “Although their logic escapes me, some will blame Obama. Not enough rain? Too much rain? It’s Obama’s fault. That’s just how things are around here.” McKenzie plans to release “Beck: I told you so” in late September.
The Rogero Armada gathered at Gov. Ned McWherter Park to set sail for Sequoyah Park and the symbolism was palatable. Madeline Rogero climbed on a rock to address her followers: “We’re going right through the middle of downtown, along the South Knox waterfront. Let’s enjoy each other and focus on quality growth and our natural assets,” she said. It was a perfect Sunday afternoon. The paddlers wore maroon and white T-shirts. Most tacked campaign signs on their watercraft. A couple even brought two black Labs, suitably attired in life jackets. “Watch out for each other,” someone yelled as they set out. “Don’t drink the water!” yelled another. Team Rogero may look back on this event and wish they had gone door-to-door instead. But for one day the political outliers from eight years ago looked ready to take control of their city government. What was their reception in Sequoy-
Democrats (they’re for Madeline) and Republicans (most are for Ivan Harmon). Padgett has support from the business community, but not the business establishment. For credibility, he needed endorsements. But Madeline scored with the News Sentinel, Metro Pulse and the Public Trust PAC. Mark failed to sell the Haslam establishment. Maybe he should have nailed up some yard signs for Bill in that 2010 gubernatorial race. City employees want to back the winner. That’s why many voted against their self-interest in supporting Haslam in 2003. They don’t need to do that this time. And don’t discount the support Ivan Harmon has among city employees. Padgett is third among this group of motivated, surebet voters. But Padgett doesn’t need to beat Rogero on Sept. 27. He just needs to beat Harmon and prevent Rogero from winning outright with 50 percent plus one. Will Mark sizzle or fizzle? We’ll know in a week and a day.
Sandra Clark ah Park? Madeline said fresh made Cruze Farm ice cream awaited. It’s doubtful the Sequoyah residents stood with pitchforks to repel the invaders. Rogero has been around long enough to feel familiar. She’s worked for Bill Haslam, Dolly Parton and Colin Powell. The sun is shining on her campaign for mayor. There’s not a cloud in sight. Mark Padgett looks like a mayor (or Robert Redford playing “The Candidate”). At age 33, he’s raised the most money and produced the slickest advertising.

voter turnout on Nov. 8 will increase by another 20 percent. Should the race be decided on Sept. 27, then the winner has a long transition which is helpful. Who will a new mayor hire? My estimate is that Rogero offers the least change in personnel as she worked closely as a former city director with almost everyone there now. Larry Martin and Bill Lyons are each $1,000 donors to her campaign. They would likely stay if she wins and depart should one of the other candidates prevail. Ivan Harmon would probably pick Rick Emmett as his chief of staff. This should

be reassuring to those who question Harmon’s executive skills as Emmett is a low key, steady and even cautious longtime city employee. He currently oversees many downtown projects. Who Padgett picks is anyone’s guess, but it’s safe to say he would bring in the most personnel changes. His father, Mike Padgett, would have influence. It is unlikely that any of the mayoral candidates would change either the current fire or police chiefs. Stan Sharp and David Rausch are widely applauded as able and solid.

Not a dime’s worth of difference? By Sandra Clark There are stark differences among the women in the Republican Primary for state Senate from District 6. Just listen carefully. Marilyn Roddy, Victoria DeFreese and Becky Massey spoke to the Fountain City Business and Professional Association last week to a full house. Here are notes about public education:
Brown hopes successor keeps police chief The biggest decision Daniel Brown has had to make since he was sworn in as Knoxville’s mayor last January came just a few weeks later when Police Chief Sterling Owen resigned.

of his hometown, but that’s where he finds himself since his City Council colleagues elected him interim mayor after Bill Haslam got elected governor. “Growing up, I never thought about being mayor. But things happen and you never know what is in your future,” he said. “When the dust settled, I was left standing.” Recently married to his longtime sweetheart, Cathy Ann Smith, Brown says he’s searched the historical record and has not found another mayor who got married while in office. Otherwise, he says he has very purposefully tried to keep from making any major changes. “I have not had to lay off anybody or raise taxes, while we have continued to provide all the basic services,” he said, adding that he didn’t think it would have been appropriate to replace any department heads.
“I believe it’s good to keep things on a sound footing and not to have any major upheaval.” He’s proud of the way that city employees have responded to the weather emergencies created by this year’s series of damaging storms, and he’s enthusiastic about the new curbside recycling program that begins in October. He’s also a big booster of the redevelopment dis-
tricts that have been created on Cumberland and Magnolia Avenues, North Central Avenue and the South Knox Waterfront. “For the last three years, the city has been offering the same level of services with static or shrinking budgets. Thanks to responsible budgeting and cooperation between the administration and city council, city government has been able to avoid
cutting back on services. I am confident we will be OK.” Brown ended his talk with a plea for civility. “One of biggest challenges before us is to have respect for civility and open dialogue. Those of us in public office have the job of resolving many of these issues, and that job can be made a lot more difficult by the tone of the dialogue during the debate.”

PULL UP A CHAIR … | Jake Mabe
‘Find out next week …’ Film buff looks back at classic movie serials
Y
ou could get in for anywhere from 9 to 15 cents. You often were treated to a double feature, usually a B-western, sometimes a two-reel short like the “Three Stooges,” and, often, a cliffhanger serial. Don Calhoun spent many a Saturday during his childhood at one of five theaters that were then located in downtown Kingsport, where he grew up, usually in the three that catered to the films he liked. One of them, the Center, would show a kiddie program, usually with a serial, a cartoon and a B-western, and even give you a piece of cake if it was your birthday, all for 15 cents. The bus station was located next to the theater, so Don and his brother would usually hitch a ride on the bus into town on Saturday mornings from their home out in the country. Often, they’d get a Krystal or Blue Circle hamburger for a dime and maybe buy a Sporting News. “We were poor as church mice, but my brother and I usually had something going. We trapped, sold ginseng, dried out herbs. Our dad would rent us a small tobacco plot, so we’d have a little more money to spend.” Sometimes Don and his brother would go to the Gem, which would often show two B-westerns, usually from the late 1930s to 1950s, as well as a two-reel comedy. Admission was 9 cents. Other times they might run over to the Realto. “The Realto was my favorite. They’d show a serial chapter, a Bwestern, like a Rocky Lane or a Monte Hale, and sometimes even a third booking like “1,001 Thrills,” a Sherlock Holmes or a Boston Blackie or the color Ali Babas.”
Don Calhoun shows a close up of the Better Little Book (formerly known as the Big Little Books) of the classic Republic serial “Dick Tracy Returns.”
Calhoun kept his love for these classic films, particularly B-westerns and movie serials, and began collecting both memorabilia and films as an adult. He can remember being overjoyed when author Alan G. Barbour came out with two books on the genres in the early 1970s, “The Thrill of it All” and “Days of Thrill and Adventure,” well before the days of home video. Since the 1980s, Calhoun has served, on and off, as a producer and co-host of Marshal Andy’s popular “Riders of the Silver Screen,” which airs classic B-westerns and movie serials. The program began on the old WKCH Channel 43 and now airs on local PBS affiliate WKOP (Channel 15) at 10:30 a.m. Saturdays. Calhoun will offer tidbits about the serials and movies and often display a lobby card or a poster or a comic book, something tied to the film and/or the serial. When we sat down to talk about movie serials recently, Calhoun wanted to make one thing clear up front. “I’m not an expert on serials. I just really enjoy them.” But, he
Don Calhoun shows off some of his movie serials memorabilia at his home. Calhoun provides trivia and other tidbits for the B-westerns and classic serials shown on Marshal Andy’s “Riders of the Silver Screen” at 10:30 a.m. Saturdays on WKOP-TV (PBS) in Knoxville. Photos by Jake Mabe knows more about them than anybody you’re likely to meet. Calhoun says that movie serials began in 1913, the year after the first full-length motion pictures were produced. The early serials often featured women in peril. One of the first was called “The Perils of Pauline.” The “catch” of the serials is the (sometimes literal) cliffhanger in which the hero is left in some precarious situation and the audience would have to come back to the theater the following week to discover the character’s fate. The early serials ran anywhere from 10 to 20 chapters (Calhoun says one ran 119 episodes!), but later, when serials reached their peak in the late 1930s and early 1940s, 15 chapters
were the norm, with the first chapter usually being the longest. As the serials hit their stride, they would feature everything from westerns like “Zorro” and “The Adventures of Jesse James” to comic book heroes like Superman and Captain Marvel to detective and adventure stories like Dick Tracy and the Canadian Mounties. The “Dick Tracy” serials starring Ralph Byrd are some of the most
popular ever produced. Calhoun says a majority of serial buffs consider “Dick Tracy vs. Crime Inc.” to be the best of the series, although he prefers “Dick Tracy Returns.” Virtually all film historians agree that Republic Pictures produced the best serials. “Why are Republic serials better?” Calhoun asks. “It’s not the stars. They had good scripts, yes, but it’s the production itself. They’d do miniatures (small model sets) up on a hill or by the water with a real sky behind them. They had the best stuntmen in the business and the cinematography was excellent.” “Riders of the Silver Screen” is currently airing an enjoyable serial, “S.O.S. Coast Guard,” starring Ralph “Dick Tracy” Byrd and Bela Lugosi. After it wraps, Calhoun says the plan is to begin showing serials produced after 1944, which were shortened in length due to rising production costs. Doing so, he says, will give Calhoun and Marshal Andy Smalls more time to chat about the films, air a B-western following the serial and also allow time at the end for Andy’s musical segments. One thing about it, though. Calhoun says you have you put yourself in a certain frame of mind to really appreciate the classic serials of yesteryear. “They were made for kids. They weren’t made for adults. Watch them from the standpoint that you’re in that era. People weren’t jaded; it was a good versus evil theme, kind of like watching B-westerns. Don’t expect the technology of today.” But expect to be entertained, perhaps even expect to be returned to those Saturday silver screens of yesterday, if you lived through it. Before long, you’ll get sucked in, waiting in anticipation to find out what happens next week, just as it was meant to be. Jake Mabe is a movie nut born about 40 years too late.

Trees I have known Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice, let the sea roar, and all that fills it; let the field exult, and everything in it. Then shall all the trees of the forest sing for joy before the Lord. … (Psalm 96: 11-13a NRSV) I claim several trees that don’t actually belong to me. Not, as I think about it, that any tree really belongs to me. I somehow think that trees are a little like people; they belong to themselves. However, there are trees, and then there are my trees. Some trees are very special to me, for various reasons, and regardless of whose property they are on, I think of them as mine. The house where I grew up has always been surrounded by enormous oaks, but there was a maple tree in the front yard that was the first of “my” trees. My tree had a low-slung, sturdy branch, just the right height for climbing, and just the right size for sitting on. It also had another branch: a smaller branch that grew right above the big one, and which functioned much like the safety bar on a roller coaster. My tree stood near the front corner of the property, and so was private, not readily visible to my family inside the house. That tree became my private retreat. I read most of “Little Women” there, as well as many other books. I climbed there, and thought, and prayed, and cried, and pretended, and dreamed and wondered. I was saddened not too long ago to drive by that house and see that “my” tree had been cut down. It appeared to have been damaged, maybe in one of the windstorms of the spring, and, when I saw it, it was lying on the ground, in great chunks. The next time I passed the house, it was gone altogether. But there are other trees that I have never climbed, never touched. They are also “my” trees. I love them like old friends because of their grace, beauty and steadfast presence. One is a tree on the road I drive to work every day. I am not sure what kind it

is because in the summer it is quite unremarkable, and I don’t notice it at all, so I haven’t analyzed its leaves. But in the winter, during a snowfall, its leaning trunk catches and holds the snow on its north side. The trunk is crooked, and the snow, following the line of the tree, looks like a lightning bolt, zigzagging from sky to earth. There is another tree that I love in all seasons. It is an enormous sycamore that stands in a small vale about a block off my route. I have to look carefully, and am glad when the traffic light turns red and stops my progress there, allowing me to savor the tree’s angular, spreading branches. Its white bark gleams in all seasons: stark as bones in the winter, shining like a candle in the spring, showing like a glimpse of lace when the tree is in full summer leaf and shimmering softly through the wide yellow leaves in the fall. I give thanks for my friends, “my” trees. I remember, I remember, The fir trees dark and high; I used to think their slender tops Were close against the sky: It was a childish ignorance, But now ’tis little joy To know I’m farther off from heaven Than when I was a boy.

Halls High HOSA to host fundraiser By Jake Mabe The Halls High School Health Occupations Students of America (HOSA) chapter is hosting a spaghetti dinner and auction 6 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 20, in the cafeteria. Tickets for the dinner were presold, but the auction is open to anyone and is the organization’s main fundraiser for the year. The auction will be held immediately following dinner.

In electronic newsletters, Jerry Holloway says there ain’t no Vol like an old Vol. Holloway, Tennessee right tackle in 1968, just out the line from famous guard Charley Rosenfelder and famous center Chip Kell, enjoys the daunting challenge of keeping lettermen and friends informed about each other. Focal points are health and welfare reports and requests for prayers. That’s right, even big, tough former football players know when they are in trouble. Holloway memos generate awesome results. You should have seen the outpouring of love when Hal Wantland was dying. Old pass-catcher Johnny Mills said he could feel the prayers when he was at on his back from a heart attack. Richmond Flowers expressed gratitude for encouraging support when he faced prostate crisis. Former coach Charley Coffey led the prayer circle at Ron Jarvis’ home when
Marvin West
Hammerhead was running out of time. Joan Cronan, as interim vice chancellor responsible for UT athletics and other things, attended the Jarvis funeral and was warmed by the Volunteer family togetherness. She assembled her staff the next morning and said this is how all Tennessee athletics should be, more we and less me. There are inspiring stories of how Steve Kiner, Elliott Gammage, Jerry Cooley and a host of old Volunteers and other friends have kept Walter Chadwick functional for the decades since his terrible auto accident. They take Walter to lunch each Wednesday. They help him collect and sell aluminum
cans. Former coach Bill Battle gave generously to install a chair lift in Walter’s condo. Holloway and former receiver Mike Price, associates at Oliver Smith Realty and Auction, keep up with as many old Vols as possible. Price, a natural conversationalist, is point man for incoming information. For example, he stays in close contact with Bubba Wyche, quarterback who helped shock Alabama in ’67. Bubba has vertebra issues, a blood disorder, breathing problems and pain, lots of pain. He is too tough to give up. Old Vol Robbie Franklin monitors Stan Mitchell, fullback in the mid-60s, now in a nursing home in Sparta. Mike LaSorsa, end and captain in ’61, is in failing health. Hundreds of us are vitally concerned. Richard Pickens, all-SEC fullback in the late ’60s, is just learning that “we will always care.� Jim McDonald, teammate at Young
Success! Hembree hits 75 on 75 goal By Betty Bean Broadway Barber Shop owner Roy Hembree not only made his goal of walking 75 laps around Fountain City Park on his 75th birthday, he surpassed it. “I added three laps to it to make it a marathon, so I went 78 laps,� Hembree said. “That made it 26.2 miles.� Hembree, a longtime member of the Fountain City Lions Club, took pledges for the Lions’ White Cane Days and will be able to add a hefty donation to the overall take. “I’m looking at close to
$4,000. If all my pledges come in, I will have $3,700, $3,800,� he said. “And I want to Hembree thank all the people that helped me.

partner who didn’t hold him up was his granddaughter Katie, who flew in from Seattle and walked 20 miles with him. He says he suffered no ill effects, perhaps due to following Katie’s advice (she is a second-year nursing student). “She told me to ice my calves, take two aspirin and a potassium pill. I did it and I wasn’t sore a bit.� Proceeds from White Cane Days collections (held last weekend and Sept. 23-24) will help pay for eyeglasses, surgery and vision care.
High and UT, was guide as Richard returned to Knoxville from his previous life in Spartanburg. Pickens has been diagnosed with short-term memory problems. He no longer drives. Some think concussions may be the root of his ailment. Former captain Dick Williams discovered that Pickens needed a special chair for comfortable TV viewing. You get to guess how many chair offers came tumbling in. At one of the prayer meetings, former line coach Ray Trail raised a question: Do you think modern players will get together in years to come the way you guys do now? Trail answered his own question. He doesn’t think so. He thinks he sees more football individuals and less football togetherness. The loss of athletic dorms might be relevant. There is hope. Derek Dooley’s Vol for Life concept might be the glue that holds younger groups together. We’ll see. Marvin West invites reader response. His address is westwest6@netzero.com.

Mechanicsville Homecoming is strong tradition Each summer, many communities hold homecoming events. Mechanicsville held its sixth annual homecoming celebration on Saturday, Aug. 27. This one is very special to me because it was Alvin birthed by the HOPE Nance VI project in MechanExecutive Director icsville. and CEO, Knoxville’s Community Pastor Diane Evans Development of Holy Jerusalem Corporation Church of God says that homecoming is a way for the Mechanicsville community to celebrate through worship and praise the fact that the community is still going strong. It was very reaffirming for me to hear her say: “We’re proud of our revitalized neighborhood with new businesses and new homes. We’re a new neighborhood with a new sense of pride, and we appreciate what HOPE VI and KCDC have done for us.” Evans, who co-chaired the event with Charles Wright, president of the Mechanicsville Association, said they worked hard to make sure this year’s event was a celebration to remember. The Homecoming program included a look at the history of Mechanicsville, recognition of local dignitaries, and an awards ceremony to honor individuals who have done things to positively impact the community. Honorees were the Rev. Jerry Upton of Honey Rock Church; Andrew Jackson of Eternal Life Harvest; Brenda Reliford, former principal of Maynard Elementary; and Mechanicsville residents Annie Dorsett and Bentley Marlow. There also was a cookout contest, and KCDC helped select the winner. It was a tough job, but somebody had to do it! A Gospel Music Celebration included featured artist Stan Williams from Honey Rock Church, musical performances and dances by artists from the Mechanicsville neighborhood, Mattie Rice and choirs from Eternal Life Harvest and Children of God Church. Other event highlights included children’s activities, door prizes, special vendors, an education information booth and a clothing giveaway booth. My hat is off to the many people and organizations which invested time and energy to make sure this year’s homecoming was another success.

Where to start when your hearing fades By Sandra Clark Some of us hear fine; others don’t quite understand the sounds we’re hearing; still others keep turning up the television and saying, “Huh?” Gary and Belinda Weaver of Weaver Hearing Aid Center noticed something interesting during recent “roundabout” tours by neighborhood groups in the Franklin Square shopping center. “Most people just don’t know where to start (when faced with hearing loss),” said Gary. “I told them: find somebody you trust, somebody you know. Find a professional who is knowledgeable about what they do.” Gary and Belinda work with individuals having hearing issues in a positive
and encouraging way. They believe if the proper testing is done and the appropriate solution is applied, good results will follow. “We’re a personal service organization,” said Gary. “We will be upfront and explain what to expect from our testing.” Gary is a licensed hearing instrument specialist; Belinda is a nurse. “As lifelong Knoxvillians, we know the people who live here and we organize our services to help them. There is no high pressure and we like to follow up over the years.” Gary is part of the family that owned and operated Weaver Funeral Home. He and Belinda have owned Weaver Hearing Aid Center for 12 years. Each new patient inter-
view is conducted without charge. It includes a personal lifestyle component to enable Gary to learn the specific needs of each person. “Every patient is different and is treated as an individual, receiving the time and attention necessary to achieve positive results,” he said. If Gary suspects a medical condition, he will refer to an ear, nose and throat specialist. He wants to provide hearing instruments to healthy people, not cover up symptoms that can cause problems later: “Cause no harm.” The second step is to schedule a full battery of audiomatic tests, using the same equipment used by audiologists. Gary will establish a baseline and follow his patients “through the
Gary and Belinda Weaver of Weaver Hearing Aid Center.
years.” He says many people have an outdated image of hearing instruments. “Like televisions and telephones, hearing instruments have changed dramatically,” he says. New models pack more punch into less space, and the cost is dropping. Weaver Hearing recently added two new manufactur-
ers with economy lines – full digital hearing aids but without the multifunctionality of models preferred by the younger set. “They’re not connected to your TV or cell phone, but they fit the lifestyle of those 60+.” Spoken like a true 50-something, Gary!
Bottom line: If you’ve got a question, come in and ask Gary or Belinda. Their office is located in Franklin Square near Sullivan’s. It’s open five days a week, evenings and weekends by appointment. “We’re constantly looking for the best instruments,” said Gary. “This is what I do.”

Massey praised the efforts of Charlotte Davis, who testified at the Better Building Board hearing “The status of the property will be announced at that sale,” Massey said. “If somebody buys, we will give them time to commence reHey Sugar!

International Gold, Silver and Diamond Buyers paying on the spot for valuables this week in Alcoa and Knoxville

Alcoa and Knoxville-area residents are in for a rare treat when the International Gold, Silver and Diamond Buyers (IGSDB) host an event here, from September 20th - 24th. The company has identified this region as prime territory for purchasing your

precious metals—especially gold and silver. The IGSDB estimates that local residents have millions of dollars worth of valuables that they no longer need or want. That is where the IGSDB comes in—they specialize in buying those items from local sellers in the U.S., Canada and Europe. Items like gold coins, scrap gold, sterling silver
diamonds, coins are a big hit. Offers will be made on all coins dated 1970 and earlier—gold coins, silver, silver dollars, half dollars, quarters, nickels and dimes. Enright explains, “U.S. coins made before 1965 are worth more than their legal tender amount because they contain 90% silver. Rare dates and mint marks can make them even more valuable. We recently paid

gold. This is a seller’s market, so don’t miss out!”
Providing an economic boost to each region it visits, the IGSDB projects to pay out $350,000 at each event—a testament to the high volume of items they purchase and the prime prices being paid. Offers are made based on rarity, numismatic value, condition and market value. Company spokesman Matthew Enright says, “We just paid $4,700 for a loose 1.25—carat diamond. Our mission is to pay local residents on the spot for sterling silverware, fine jewelry, coins and precious metals—especially silver and gold.” The company has seen a huge influx of gold lately. “Customers have been scrambling to cash into the record-high value of gold,” adds Enright. For those who are unsure if their items are genuine gold or silver, or simply costume, company will test it for free. “The best strategy is to bring all items to the show for a free evaluation from our specialists. It always amazes me how a small handful of gold and silver can turn into hundreds of dollars in just a few moments. We test, weigh, and buy items right on the spot,” Enright says. At a recent show, a small—town dentist had a nice pay day. “I have been collecting dental gold for years from patients who didn’t want their extracted teeth. It really added up—my check is for over $31,000!”

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER
Five-year update: Early robotic surgery patient living active life At 67, Carlos De La Cuesta, of Louisville, Tenn., is reaching a significant milestone after a prostate cancer diagnosis and treatment in 2006. “I’ve already gone five years, which is a pretty good indication things are good,” he says. “Fort Sanders took excellent care of me.” De La Cuesta was one of the first patients to have robotically-assisted prostate surgery at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center in 2006. Once considered experimental, robotic surgery for prostate cancer has become a very popular option for patients because it allows for smaller incisions, less blood loss and scarring, and quicker healing times. De La Cuesta chose urologist Dr. Wayne Hatfield to perform the surgery robotically with the hospital’s state-of-the-art da Vinci Surgical Suite. “I felt real confident with Dr. Hatfield,” explains De La Cuesta. “He is one of those guys who is very honest, very open and knowledgeable. He is up on the technology, so I felt very comfortable with him.” Studies have shown the robotically-assisted surgery to be more effective in removing the prostate without leaving cancer cells behind. Patients are also more likely to have a rapid return to normal activities, sexual function and urinary continence. “I was only in the hospital one day,” says De La Cuesta. De La Cuesta discovered he had prostate cancer during an an-
Cuesta decided to have his prostate removed. Five years later, De La Cuesta is back to his regular activities. “I feel great. I play tennis twice a week; I work out twice a week. I’m very active,” he says. “My wife and I take dancing lessons whenever we can.” He still has his PSA levels checked regularly. “So far, my PSA is zero, which is good news.” De La Cuesta also joined a support group for men who have been through prostate cancer and often shares with them his experience of choosing robotic surgery. “I try to let people know what’s going to happen to them,” he says. “Don’t get me wrong – it takes awhile to recover from the surgery. But you’re OK, and that makes a lot of difference.” De La Cuesta recommends Fort Sanders and Dr. Hatfield to others Carlos De La Cuesta was one of the first patients in Knoxville to undergo dealing with prostate cancer. “Aba robotically-assisted prostatectomy. Five years later, he continues to live a solutely, I made the right choice,” he says. “I know there are some healthy, active life. new treatments today, but for surgery the robot is great. “My care at Fort Sanders was wonderful. They were really good to me, but they were even better to my wife.

Hatfield gave through prostate treatment, De La 673-FORT.
“Absolutely I made the right choice ... for surgery the robot is great.”
Robotically-assisted surgery: The next generation Although it’s called “robotic surgery,” the robot is second fiddle to the surgeon in the da Vinci system. The da Vinci Surgical System consists of two main parts: the surgeon’s console with a high definition screen and hand controls, and a patient cart with four interactive robotic arms. Three arms hold surgical instruments inserted into the patient, and one arm holds a high-definition magnification 3-D camera. “The enhanced 3-D view helps the surgeon see every aspect of the procedure on a large screen,” explains Fort Sanders thoracic surgeon Dr. Mark Cooper. “There are multiple monitors around the room that allow the whole surgery team to view what is happening on the operating table.” A few feet away, the surgeon sits at the da Vinci console to operate the master controls using instruments that look like video game controls. “Every wrist and hand movement the surgeon makes is duplicated in real time by the robot’s
instruments,” says Fort Sanders urologist Dr. Jeff Flickinger. “It allows very steady and precise movements.” “The da Vinci System can’t be programmed or make decisions on its own,” says Dr. Robert McKeown of Fort Sanders Women’s
Specialists. Every surgical maneuver is performed with direct input from the surgeon. “It gives the surgeon the freedom of movement and control of open surgery, but is less invasive for patients,” says Fort Sanders ob-gyn Dr. Ellen Moffat.
Instead of a large incision, the surgery site is accessed with a few tiny key holes. “That means less pain and a quicker recovery,” says gynecological oncologist Dr. Tom Morgan. “The patient benefits from a much shorter hospital stay. Many patients go home the next day.” The robotic surgery program at Fort Sanders Regional, which started with urology procedures, such as prostatectomies, now offers gynecological surgeries like hysterectomies, and thoracic lung and chest procedures. New uses for this technology at Fort Sanders also include advanced surgery for kidney and bladder cancer, as well as uterine and cervical cancer. As more applications are developed every day, many expect robotically-assisted surgery will touch most areas of surgery in years to come. For a list of the surgeons who currently perform robotic surgery procedures at Fort Sanders Regional, call (865) 673-FORT (3678).
Prostate cancer: Are YOU at risk?
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among men, excluding skin cancer. The prostate is a walnut-sized gland within the male reproductive system that is located beneath the bladder. The American Cancer Society (ACS) estimates more than 218,000 new cases of prostate cancer are diagnosed in the U.S. each year. About 32,000 men die of the disease annually, which ranks prostate cancer second only to lung cancer in cancer deaths among American men. But there is good news: if detected early, most prostate cancers can be successfully treated. More than 90 percent of all prostate cancers are discovered while they are either confined or located just outside the prostate. The five-year survival rate for men diagnosed with prostate tumors discovered at these stages is 99 percent. In the past 20 years, the five-year survival rate for all stages combined has grown from 67 percent to 99 percent. “Signs of prostate cancer may include weak or interrupted flow of urine, urinating often (especially at night), difficulty urinating or holding back urine, pain or burning when urinating,” explains Fort Sanders urologist Dr. Wayne Hatfield. You may also have blood in the urine or semen, nagging pain in the back, hips or pelvis, and painful ejaculation. However, Dr. Hatfield cautions that each individual may experience symptoms differently. “Some symptoms of prostate cancer may resemble other medical conditions,” says Dr. Hatfield. Always consult your physician for a diagnosis. There are usually no specific signs or symptoms of early prostate cancer. A prostate specific antigen (PSA) blood test and digital rectal exam (DRE) can provide the best chance of identifying prostate cancer in its earliest stages. A PSA blood test should be performed annually beginning at age 40 and should be accompanied by a DRE. Dr. Hatfield says men shouldn’t let fear and anxiety keep them from being screened for prostate cancer. These tests can often detect or help rule out prostate cancer and save your life.
