Dreams really do come true and, thanks to the Dream Connection, 7-year-old Ashleigh Gideon and her family are having one special dream granted. Brian and Christie Gideon learned that their youngest daughter had cystic fibrosis when she was 4. People with cystic fibrosis have airway secretions that are drier, stickier and harder to clear than normal secretions. This thick mucus can block the bronchial tubes in the lungs and can lead to gradual blockage, infection and lung damage. The youngest Gideon is a ball of energy and doesn’t let her disease get the best of her. She takes 16 different medications daily to help her stay healthy and active. Ashleigh’s aunt Marina nominated her for the Dream Connection. When notified of the opportunity to have a wish granted, she chose to visit Disney World with her family. She is excited to visit Seuss Landing to see all of the wonderful things the author of her favorite book, “The Lorax,” has to offer. The Gideons will enjoy their first trip to Disney World as a family. Ashleigh’s sisters Taylor and Elena are looking forward to visiting the nearby Sea World and feeding the dolphins, enjoying breakfast with
Ashleigh, Elena and Taylor Gideon enjoy time in the backyard with their parents, Christie and Brian. the Disney princesses and taking the tea cups for a spin. The Dream Connection fulfills the special dreams of children ages 3-18 who face life threatening or chronically debilitating illnesses in the East Tennessee area. A “dream come true” to a child can give back, in some small way, that which disease and illness have taken away.

Local crematory offers options By Sandra Clark Construction is underway to build a crematory at Gentry-Griffey Funeral Home in Fountain City. Eric Botts, managing partner, expects the facility to be open by year’s end. A licensed funeral director, Botts, 31, has been in the industry since age 14. His family is involved with the Ralph Bunch Funeral Home and Crematory in Cleveland, Tenn. Jerry Griffey, longtime owner and licensed funeral director and embalmer, continues to work at Gentry-Griffey and is “available when families ask for him and sometimes when they don’t,” said Botts, with a nod toward the irrepressible Fountain City fi xture. New owners bought the funeral business and the
accommodate,” he says. The chapel has been refurbished, and Botts realizes “we’ll never get away from traditional services.” But as new families move here and younger people lean toward the concept of cremation, Botts believes it’s a logical extension of the business to add the crematory – the first in Knox County. The escalating expense of funeral services is a factor with the average funeral costing $8,000 plus a gravesite and marker while the average Eric Botts, managing partner of Gentry-Griffey Funeral Home cremation costs $2,000.

co.” The “Padgett Plan,” a 28-page document released by his campaign the day after the primary, includes a flowchart illustrating the workings of TNIvestco. However, only in the broadest sense does Padgett’s plan resemble TNInvestco, which provides tax credits to venture capitalists who then sell the tax credits to insurance companies and use the proceeds to invest in businesses. Ideally, these businesses produce new tax revenue which is cycled back into the state’s tax credit fund, resulting in something like a perpetual

Padgett says the “angel investors” will be selected through competitive bidding and only businesses in the city of Knoxville would be eligible for a capital infusion. There’s another significant difference in the state’s plan and what Padgett envisions for Knoxville. The state allocated $200 million in tax credits as seed money for TNInvestco. Padgett won’t say how much the city
leased into the atmosphere. In addition, Gentry-Griffey will maintain an open door policy. Anyone can visit during office hours and tour the crematory. A viewing room will allow families to witness cremations if they desire. Botts says cremation is another option for families, and he’s glad to offer this service to the Knoxville community. “We’re here to serve Fountain City first, but we will be expanding our marketing effort,” he said. “Knoxville is a big place. “I know the importance of trust.

Padgett concedes that’s a sizeable cut but bases his optimism on his experience working with former Gov. Phil Bredesen. Nominally a Democrat in a nonpartisan race, Padgett’s major themes would be at home in any Republican’s campaign literature: cut bureaucratic red tape; remove To page A-2

Edna’s daughters By Sandra Clark Last week we reported on Edna Weaver Smith’s recollections of growing up in Raccoon Valley. Edna just turned 95 and her Florida daughter, Polly, made her a beautiful memory book. Guess that set her to recalling. But an extra benefit of that interview (besides the great stories and Edna’s wonderful apple dumplin’s) was the opportunity to catch up with Edna’s local daughters, Shirley and Betty Rae. Both are well-known. Betty Rae for her career with Home Federal Bank, working with Ancil Hooks at the Broadway branch; and Shirley for her volunteer work in the church, community and Republican Party. She also
helps son Scott at his insurance agency. One of Shirley’s funniest stories involves her “discussions� with the state of Tennessee when she married Homer Smith. Yes, she is Shirley Smith Smith. It was a “who’s on first� comedy routine as Shirley tried to file her paperwork and a state bureaucrat tried to explain a “maiden name.� Another story involves the Easter Sunday when the old Cedar Grove Baptist Church caught fire. Shirley woke up with a premonition. Something was wrong. When the Smiths got to the church they could see smoke coming from the eaves. Another family was already there and help was on the way. The church was rebuilt in 1959.

snake, until one day it didn’t appear. The mystery was solved when Shirley ran into a neighbor who was telling her about this giant snake that had showed up at her house. “We killed it,� said the neighbor. “You killed my snake!� shouted Shirley. “Well, if you wanted it you should have kept it at home,� said the neighbor. (Note: Jake Mabe will be back next week with a hundred new stories to tell after his trip to Hawaii.)
Cedar Grove started in 1914 with 14 charter members, Edna said. The congregation met each first and third Sunday. Men sat on one side and women on the other. Each side had a wood stove. In 1945, a Sunday school room was added and in 1959 there were 210 members. Pastors were George DeMarcus, C.A. Hensley, J.E. Elkins, Murphy Bolinger, Herbert Brock, Walter Henderlight, Paul Adcock and Herman Lakin. “We walked to church,�
Shirley recalled. “One family would start walking up Raccoon Valley, and as we passed a house that family would join us. There would be a whole crowd walking together. We went back home that way, too.� Betty Rae laughs about the time she and Shirley tried to earn extra money by helping their daddy hoe tobacco. “He told us to cut down all the weeds and Shirley started chopping. He had planted pumpkin vines in the tobacco. Shirley was
chopping them too. I tried to stop her but she said, ‘It’s not tobacco!’ He paid us 50 cents but he didn’t ask us back.� After she married and moved out, Shirley had a close encounter with a huge snake. It must have been 6 to 10 feet long. She found it in a stack of leaves where Scott was playing. Shirley wanted to kill it, but Homer said it was a good snake that would eat rodents. So it was live and let live for the Smiths and the

From page A-1 “hindrances� to starting a business; eliminate government “waste�; and take a firm stand against government overreaching. Padgett considers the Hillside and Ridgetop Protection Plan an example of the last. “It’s too aggressive,’ he says. “I’m just against government ramming something down people’s throats.� Calling his opponent, Madeline Rogero, a “20-year bureaucrat,� Padgett says he wants to draw a clear distinction in their approaches to government. “My opponent says you fix
one bad layer of government by adding another layer,� he says. “Only a government bureaucrat would make that suggestion.� Bolstering his conservative bona fides, and driving the point home, last week Padgett announced to no one’s surprise that Ivan Harmon – a conservative’s conservative – was endorsing his candidacy. Padgett also opposes the scattered housing approach to permanent supportive housing for the chronically homeless; Rogero has unswervingly supported the methods and goals of the Ten Year Plan.

Burchett gets first HPUD appointment By Greg Householder Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett will make his first appointment to the board of commissioners for the Hallsdale Powell Utility District following the Sept. 19 resignation of commissioner Sandra Liford. Commissioners Jim Hill and Kevin Julian have submitted three names to Burchett in order of their preference: Bob Crye, Martha Arnold-Charnay and Joe McDonald. Burchett can select one, reject all or simply do nothing in which case Crye will become a commissioner. Liford, the newest member of the board, also resigned her job as assistant principal at Farragut Primary School in the fall. She and her husband, Scott, own and operate Cedar
Grove Marina. She did not attend last week’s meeting. John G. “Bob” Crye, 68, of Halls, retired from Alstom Power Inc. in 2008. An engineer, he has worked for TVA, Rrentenbach Engineering and Hillman Construction. He serves as a volunteer board member of Jesus Centered Ministries and the Halls Business and Professional Association. He is a trustee, chair of building and grounds, and an adult Sunday School teacher at Beaver Dam Baptist Church. Martha Arnold-Charnay, 69, retired from Technicolor Inc. (formerly Four Star International Inc.) in 1989 where she served in positions ranging from administrative assistant to executive vice president and corporate
Sandra Liford secretary. Since returning to Halls, she has been active in numerous community organizations and was founding president of the Halls Crossroads Women’s League. Joseph P. “Joe” McDonald, 74, also of Halls, served in the United States Marine Corps and was a licensed land surveyor from 1970-1990. He worked as an engineering
aide at KUB from 1969 until his retirement in 1997. McDonald has been active in the Boys Scouts of America where he received several awards. In other business, Cardwell reported that 14 water meters were set and nine sewer inspections were conducted in September. The utility treated 234.6 million gallons of water and treated 218.3 million gallons of wastewater which included the torrential rains over the Labor Day weekend. In response to a ratepayer’s concern voiced during the public comment portion of the meeting regarding low end usage, Cardwell said that the utility is looking to change from its current 1,500 gallon minimum usage to zero based measurement. This would result in a few dollars

A life of service: Charlotte Davis By Jamie Rowe Charlotte McClure Davis was born in Knoxville on Feb. 16, 1933, the first of three children of Robert Louis and Charlotte McClure Davis. She attended Smithwood Elementary School, participating in many activities including Girl Scouts. The summer camp times instilled Charlotte’s love for the mountains and nature and were instrumental in her interest and activity in local environmental issues, such as hillside/ridgetop development. She has great respect for and fond memories of all her elementary school teachers, especially her 2nd grade teacher, Mrs. Frances Wilkerson. At Central High, she was a member of the Junior Honor Society, Hiking Club, Latin Club and Home Economics Club. Charlotte cherishes the wonderful, lifelong friendships she made at Central which continue to this day with monthly lunches together at Kitts Café. Charlotte began nurse’s training at St. Mary’s Memorial Hospital in 1951, graduating in 1954. She was the first person born at St. Mary’s to graduate from St. Mary’s nursing school. Because of the influence and dedication of the Sisters of Mercy, each nursing student was instilled with a love of nursing. The Sisters taught even outside of class by their example, as student nurses were also taught to be meticulous in

Life as a professional endorser My regular shtick is county government, so I hope I’ll be excused if I stray across the county line briefly for a look at what’s going on in the city. It’s not much of a stretch, anyway. Most of the subjects of today’s lesson in how to get along after your campaign hopes have gone the way of all flesh at some time held or hoped to hold elected office in the county, and I have it on good authority that all live in Knox County or at least in the state of Tennessee. I’m referring to The Endorsers (which, by the way, would be a snazzy name for a Washington, D.C.-based jazz band), the notable collection of folks who showed up on the courthouse steps to say “Amen!” to Mark Padgett’s mayoral candidacy last week. Let’s give The Endorsers the benefit of a doubt and accept that they weren’t angling for jobs in the Padgett cabinet. So, if there’s no personal profit to be had for becoming cannon fodder for feckless columnists, what do The Endorsers have to gain, assuming none of them can play the trumpet like Wynton Marsalis? A professional endorsing career, of course. Scoff if you will, but before you do, stop to consider that every political campaign has winners and losers. (I could prove this to you geometrically, but I misplaced my protractor.) Then consider that every primary election winner has to go through the whole thing again just to earn the privilege of having people like me tell the public why we don’t like the cut of their jib. Yes, it’s a dreary fate, but having a professional endorser on your side can make all the difference. Endorsers, for fair compensation, can take the heat when the candidate gets caught in a, um, misstatement. “I know you believe you understand what you think I said, but I am not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant,” is a quote perhaps mistakenly attributed to President Richard Nixon. No matter. With a little twist, it’s pure gold in the hands of a professional endorser: “I know you believe you understand what you think (insert candidate’s name here) said, but I am not sure you realize that what you heard is not what (insert candidate’s name here again) meant.” By the time the endorser’s audience figures out what that means, the candidate will have (in politics-speak) “moved the discussion” to something less treacherous. If I’m any judge, a statement like that should be worth a few grand to a professional endorser. And why stop with a local mayoral election? There’s a presidential campaign coming up, and candidates will be begging for endorsements. So don’t ridicule The Endorsers just because you don’t like the cut of their jib. These guys are on to something. Contact Larry Van Guilder at lvgknox@mindspring.com.
GOSSIP AND LIES ■ Mark Padgett says he and Madeline Rogero are from different wings of the Democratic Party. Last week Rogero scooped up endorsements from the Democratic Women and the Fraternal Order of Police leaving folks to wonder just what wings are for Mark. Buffalo wings? ■ Does Sheriff Jimmy Jones want Police Chief David Rausch’s job in a Padgett Administration? That rumor was flying at the FOP meeting. “Those endorsements backfired bigtime,” a source said. “We got a good chief.” ■ Gov. Bill Haslam will be in Knoxville on Friday, making the keynote speech at the annual Legacy Parks Foundation lunch. Here’s guessing we won’t be seeing County Mayor Tim Burchett there. He completely eliminated the county’s $50,000 contribution to Legacy Parks in the current year’s budget.
D’s endorse women The Democratic Women of Knox County voted unanimously last week to endorse Madeline Rogero and Gloria Johnson.
Betty Bean During the business portion of their October “tailgate” meeting, the club appropriated $1,000 to be donated equally to mayoral candidate Rogero and state Senate District 6 candidate Johnson, both of whom are club members and face wellfunded opposition in the November general election. County Commissioner Amy Broyles, who recently had surgery to remove a benign tumor from her parathyroid gland, was asked to give a report on her health and to discuss commission business. She pointed out a thin, horizontal scar on her neck that appears to be healing nicely: “I have endured many
jokes about cutthroat politics,” she said. Broyles, who pushed to give county employees a pay raise during budget discussions this summer, only to see her idea shot down, talked about Mayor Tim Burchett’s new proposal to raise county workers’ pay by 3 percent. Said she’s finally figured out how things work on the commission, where she is the only woman: “I come up with a really great idea and the mayor and his buddies kill it, and a couple months later it comes back as his idea. I’m fine with that. I’m going to keep coming up with good ideas and he’ll keep
quashing them and then come back with them later and we’ll get a lot of good stuff done.” The club also heard from an array of at-large candidates for City Council – Bill Owen and Marshall Stair, who will be facing off in a contest for Seat B; Finbarr Saunders, who wants Seat C and George (“Not THAT George Wallace”) Wallace, who is running for Seat A. Stair had the best laugh line when he told the group about his experiences going door-to-door. He said a man opened the door and said, “I know who you are. Many years ago your father represented my ex-wife in
Candidates must get specific The mayoral campaign is heating up. Mark Padgett has a 28-point program. Check out his website to see it at www.votepadgett.com. Lots of fluff, few specifics. He won the endorsements of all his losing opponents plus Sheriff Jimmy Jones. Madeline Rogero says there is not much to it. She calls it plagiarism or stuff already being done, but fails to be precise. Neither is very specific. Voters would be hard pressed to identify Rogero’s top three goals beyond the general platitudes of making Knoxville even more wonderful than we are. Padgett is equally vague. He attacks waste in the city but does not mention a single example. Few voters know what is in Padgett’s program and probably do not care since 84 percent of voters avoided the election. If Padgett wants traction he must outline with clarity three things he will do if elected instead of labeling Rogero as the politics of old which she is not. He has

to challenge her on specific issues to advance. One of Padgett’s points is transparency in city government. However, Padgett, who touts his business experience as a reason to elect him mayor, becomes secretive when asked about the payroll of his business. He cannot expect to use his business as a reason to elect him if he is not prepared to be totally open about all its details. He cannot have it both ways. Rogero must be precise about which of Padgett’s points are plagiarized if she is going to make that charge. She needs to tell voters what the top three items are she plans to implement if elected. What will her first week in office look like? More of the same, or something new? If
new, what is it? What does she mean by a “green” city? Labels alone are not programs. Right now she is responding to Padgett and letting him set the campaign agenda. She needs to be proactive if she plans on being the lead candidate. If she continues on her current course she may let a 20-point lead dwindle to 5 or 6 points which guarantees Padgett is her opponent in 2015. Padgett’s 28-point plan does not mention paving city streets, the upside down pay scales for some city employees like David Hill who is paid $145,000 a year ($35,000 a year more than our fire or police chiefs who have real jobs), hiring minorities in city government or mitigating homelessness. Neither he nor Rogero have discussed the city issues which Becky Massey used successfully in her significant win over Marilyn Roddy such as red light cameras, high city property taxes and homeless housing
our divorce.” “Before I could tell him what a complete maniac my dad is, he said ‘I probably paid for your college education. I might as well vote for you.’ ” Stair also related a cautionary tale about turnout that he said he heard from an elderly, toothless man who said he never votes: “He told me about a druid farmer who needed a rope. He went to his neighbor to borrow one, and the neighbor said, ‘I need my rope to tie up my milk.’ ” Stair allowed as how that didn’t make much sense, and the old man said, “When you really don’t want to do something, what difference does the excuse make?” “I don’t know if that story really means anything,” Stair said. Stair’s opponent Bill Owen reminded his audience that he had been instrumental in getting the LMU law school downtown and said that even though he finished second in the primary, “This is a winnable race. When working people get out and vote, working people win.”
in South Knoxville (Roddy had supported all three and Massey opposed them). Both Rogero and Padgett pledge laser-like attention to job creation, but both bypassed Knoxville media firms to place thousands of dollars of advertising with Colorado and Washington, D.C., firms. Padgett is using Media Strategies out of Denver, while Rogero is using Revolution Political Media (which employs her cousin Colin Rogero) along with Team Blue which is a prominent Democratic firm in Washington. However, Rogero T-shirts were printed in Knoxville by Tribe One. Either Padgett or Rogero will be our next mayor. Neither seems willing to challenge the other in a constructive way. Padgett has to shake it up if he expects to reach a majority. Rogero’s play it safe approach will need fine tuning if she wants a comfortable win versus a narrow win or even a narrow loss. Also, another 5,000 voters will vote Nov. 8 who did not vote Sept. 27. Which way will they go?

The Whitehead dilemma John Whitehead is a career professional, victimized by term limits and politics.
Sandra Clark
John Whitehead is a career politician, father-inlaw to former County Commissioner (and chair) Scott Moore, the poster child for Black Wednesday. Take your pick, because the 2012 election for property assessor will turn on your choice (and that of a few thousand of your fellow citizens). Hint: he’s both. John was in Karns last week, speaking to the Republican club. Property Assessor Phil Ballard was also there, along with his wife, his chief deputy and a few more staffers. The meeting resembled an orange and white Ballard rally. One donated the door prize (a Ballard for Assessor cooler) and another won it. Why even elect a property assessor, you say? While the school board debates outsourcing custodians, a much stronger case could be made for outsourcing the quadrennial, state-mandated property reappraisals. With satellite technology, how hard could it be? Property assessing is big business in Knox County ($2.8 million budget for FY 2012 with most going for staff). That’s a formidable re-election machine that
John Whitehead speaks at Karns. Photo by S. Clark made the job a lifetime occupation until term limits. Now there’s a deep rift in the operation; one that will play out as Whitehead takes on Ballard. Hearken back to 2008 when Ballard, a county commissioner with no experience or certifications in property appraisal, ran in the GOP primary against term-limited Trustee Mike Lowe, also with no experience or certifications. Ballard won with 51 percent of the vote: 22,411 to Lowe’s 21,280. He was supported by longtime assessor Parkey Strader. Whitehead was hired in the assessor’s office when he returned from Vietnam. “(Then Assessor) Ed Hill made me cut my hair,” he recalls. He worked there for 35 years, gaining certifications and experience galore. Strader retired and supported Whitehead who was easily elected in 2000 and 2004, but was termlimited and could not run in 2008. Whitehead worked for Ballard for a while, as did Strader. But Phil is a headstrong fellow who has pret-
ty much cleaned house. He brought in Jim Weaver, a retired state appraiser, and things have settled down. Whitehead zinged Ballard at Karns, saying he’s “spent thousands of dollars to get an appraisal certification, and I don’t know if he has it yet.” Whitehead also scored with this: “The system is built to keep property values where they are, but the assessor’s office shouldn’t worry about where the county gets its (property tax) money. They should be worried about getting the values right.” And therein lies the rub. New construction is almost nonexistent. Foreclosures drive down home values. Buyers are not moving up. If the property assessor puts today’s values on real estate, it could trigger a massive tax increase just to keep the county’s income level. The next reappraisal is set for 2012, same year as the election. So Ballard must weave and wind his way through this mess to keep his job. And Whitehead stands watchfully outside the gate, waiting to reclaim his kingdom. Yep, this race could get really interesting.

Padgett and Rogero: dueling optics Betty Bean Used to be, optics was a scientific term referring to the study of the physics of light. Today it has entered the political realm, where candidates stage manage their campaign events, paying as much attention to the look of things – backgrounds, foregrounds and everything in between – as to what is said. That’s optics, but sometimes things don’t go as planned. Last Wednesday was the day the 2011 mayoral campaign kicked into overdrive. Optics were central to the messages conveyed. Mark Padgett went first with a press conference announcing endorsements from the three also-rans in the mayoral primary – Bo Bennett, Joe Hultquist and Ivan Harmon – plus Knox County Sheriff Jimmy “J.J.” Jones. The four endorsers stood on the steps of the historic old Knox County courthouse behind Padgett, who wore a dark suit and a red tie. Everybody spoke – briefly, except for Hultquist, who was evidently still campaigning for himself. The optics were perfect – the beautiful old courthouse and the confident young can-
didate who at 33 would be the youngest mayor ever elected. But this vision of youth was diluted a bit by supporters like Mose Lobetti, whose career as a patronage broker dates back to the 1950s; Oak Ridge lawyer/lobbyist and Al Gore operative Warren Gooch; and the candidate’s father, former County Clerk Mike Padgett. Former County Commissioner Lumpy Lambert made a cameo appearance. The endorsers were planted on the courthouse steps like sentries guarding against Visigoths bent on plunder. When asked if it’s wise to invoke images that conjure recollections of County Commission’s infamous Black Wednesday rebellion against term limits, Padgett looked astonished. Two hours later, Madeline Rogero held a hastilycalled presser in the newlyrelocated and expanded Three Rivers Market, which has become an anchor of the Central Avenue Corridor, a priority project of the city’s Community Development Department which she headed for four years. Her crowd was mostly handlers and reporters, plus a few women and children in maroon T-shirts and some
curious random shoppers. The optics were folksy. Rogero’s lectern was draped in red and white gingham, facing the sun, which was problematic, since the day had gotten hotter since the Padgett event. The candidate, dressed in a black pantsuit, looked hot, which she evidently was, because she tore into Padgett for branding her a career bureaucrat with little to show for her time as community development director: “Effective economic development with a solid return on investment has been happening here and will keep happening here. It takes a mayor with experience to make it work, and I’ve been working on it for over 25 years. He’s been reading about it for maybe nine months. Business-government cooperation is not something Knoxville needs to be schooled on by Mark Padgett. “ After the speech, school board member Indya Kincannon’s daughter Georgia, who’d been knitting something long and purple, approached the candidate and handed her a scarf that matched her purple blouse. The candidate looped it around her neck and walked out to her car.

Albers hosts Civil War reunion HISTORY AND MYSTERIES | Dr. Jim Tumblin (Note: this is the second installment of Dr. J.C. Tumblin’s tale of A.J. Albers. A segment of his work, “Fountain City: Facts, Myths and Mysteries�)
W
hen he came to Knoxville in 1865, Andrew Jackson “A.J.â€? Albers had already experienced enough excitement for a lifetime, although he was only 21. He had graduated from the Cincinnati College of Pharmacy before enlisting in the Union Navy in August 1861, at only 17. His Mississippi River gunboat, the USS Indianola, was rammed seven times and beached on Hurricane Island near Vicksburg during the pitch dark night of Feb. 24, 1863. Albers and the crew of 100 surrendered to the Confederate gunboats. He was sent to the notorious Libby Prison in Richmond ďŹ rst and then to several other Confederate prisons before being exchanged in the fall of 1863. He returned to Cincinnati and resumed his career in pharmacy. Two years later, Edward J. Sanford (1831-1902) offered him a position with his wholesale drug ďŹ rm in Knoxville. By 1866, Albers had assumed the interests of a former stockholder, T.I. VanGilder. In 1897, when W.P. Chamberlain joined the ďŹ rm, it became Sanford, Chamberlain and Albers Co. with Sanford as president, Albers as vice president and Chamberlain as secretarytreasurer. The wholesale drug company already had an annual gross of $200,000 to $300,000. Albers’ ascent in the local business world was just as impressive. In 1871 and again in 1876, he was treasurer of the Board of Trade. He became a member of the board of directors of the Mechanics National Bank (1882), president of the
Chamber of Commerce (1895-96), treasurer of the Lawson McGhee Library board, a member of the committee to return John Sevier’s body to Knoxville and to erect a suitable monument for him on the courthouse lawn (1889), a charter trustee of the Albers Mansion. Albers hosted Gen. James Longstreet at his home at 603 W. Main Ave. (pres(Old) Gray Cement location of the Medical Arts Building) for the Ocrober 1890 Reunion of the Blue and Gray etery Board and Veterans of the Civil War. Photos courtesy of C.M.

It is one of the ways I can study and analyze where my money goes. It tells me what is important to me.

A church you will call home!
And then it hit me: God is into balancing books, too. There will be an accounting, and we will be “weighed on the scales and found wanting.” Standing before the Holy One will be the moment of truth. The good news, however, is that what we lack, Christ has supplied. What we have squandered, he has restored. What we have committed, Christ has taken the blame for. What we owe, he has paid. When we stand to give account for ourselves, Christ will be there to lay an arm across our shoulders and say to the Judge, “She’s alright. I died for her. She is one of mine.” And the scales will shift into balance, and everything will be healed and whole and at peace.
We salute the many men and women who have fought for the freedom we enjoy today. Please visit our website for Veterans Benefits information and to view our Video Tribute to Veterans. The video is listed under Resources. www.stevensmortuaryinc.com

Central crowns homecoming queen By Betty Bean The process of selecting a homecoming queen is an important activity in most high schools, but it’s an uncommonly big deal at Central High School, where each team or organization at the school chooses a candidate to represent them, and five weeks of fundraising begin. This year, the effort raised around $27,000, setting a new school record (as far as anybody knows) for money and participation. The cheerleading squad chose senior captain Harley Branche to represent them, and they got exceedingly busy. By the time they were done, they had raised a staggering $11,1043.18, and Har-
ley was crowned queen. Harley can reel off a dizzying list of moneymaking schemes her team and their sponsor, Jackie Raley, thought up to do: “We sold Pizza Inn gift cards and held a basket auction where each girl brought two baskets of things to donate. We had a silent auction, breezeway sales, ballgame sales, a car wash, a corn hole tournament, rummage sales, donut sales, and we sat outside Kroger for three days,” Harley said. “Larry Smith gave us $100.” “You name it, we did it,” Raley said. “People saw us everywhere. We went doorto-door selling those Pizza Inn cards. The girls worked so hard – Harley is our only
senior and our captain and she worked in everything we did.” Some of the money the squad raised will go for new black uniforms. They have also decided to set aside $1,000 to donate to community causes. They’re going to help Fantasy of Trees and plan to volunteer to help with Race for the Cure, both by donating money and working on the day of the race. They are also going to participate and donate to Light Up the Night for Lymphoma in honor of Josh Moore, a Central football player who had to give up playing after he was stricken by the disease, but who is on track to graduate with his class next spring.
Harley on homecoming night Photo submitted
“We were already donating, but now we can give them a monetary contribution, too,” Raley said. “Cheerleading hasn’t won it in – we’re not sure how long – maybe 15 years.” Harley is the daughter of Steve Branche, who was her escort the night she was crowned, and Shelley Branche. She plans to go to a yet-to-be-determined college next year and hopes to continue her cheerleading career.
All about me! Halls High students Jessica Fekete and Clint Roberts measure Lucas Henderson (center) for an “All About Me” booklet. Students in the health science classes and Early Childhood Education careers worked together to weigh and measure preschool children for the project. Students in Jeana Kirby’s health science class will work with the math department to graph the measurements of the children on charts, calculate the BMI of each child and determine the mean, median and mode of the measurements.

Late look at ’51 Vols Now is the time for grandfathers to retrieve a few big bills from First Tennessee, official bank of the Volunteers, and invite a grandson to Neyland Stadium. If the young ones can survive an interlude without video games, they will see Derek Dooley’s orangemen against maybe mighty LSU. If they look in the correct direction at the proper time, they will get a glimpse of genuine legends. Proud remnants of the 1951 national championship Tennessee team will make what some fear will be their final public appearance. All-American tailback Hank Lauricella and All-American guard John Michels are coming to

The Vols gained 513 yards rushing and averaged 10.7 per run. They scored six touchdowns on the ground. Herky ran for 151 and four scores. Hank gained 114 and scored twice. Cousin Ray Byrd, third-team fullback, gained 84 yards. A good time was had by all. Don’t laugh at the losers. Washington and Lee made it to the Gator Bowl.

We couldn’t get married.� How far did family togetherness go? “Everybody knew everybody else’s parents, sisters, brothers and cousins.� The genius of Robert R.

While real estate activity in September did experience the usual Sherry end of summer decline, Witt the month did produce Register of Deeds considerably more property sales than September 2010. For the month ending on Friday, Sept. 30, there were 669 land transfers in Knox County, representing a total property value of $111.7 million. This was some $48 million less than the total value of land sold in August. Compared with last September, however, the totals were much more favorable. Last year, 616 parcels changed hands during September, representing an aggregate value of about $92 million. Lending markets did not fare quite so well. For the month, about $238 million was loaned against property in Knox County. While that is more than the amount loaned in August, it is nearly $100 million less than the money borrowed against property last September. Despite interest rates below 4 percent in some cases, mortgage lending and refinancing continues to struggle due to tighter lending regulations and decreased property values. Oddly enough, the largest transactions recorded in September were both mortgage deals. One was a loan for $14.3 million dollars for a new UT cancer research facility. This was topped only by a mortgage transaction involving Faith Promise Church in the amount of $14.8 million. There were no property transfers for more than $1.75 million during September. With three quarters now in the books, 2011 continues to compare very closely to 2010 in the area of land transfers. The first nine months of this year have produced total land sales of around $1.17 billion in Knox County, compared to $1.14 billion during the same period of 2010. About $400 million less has been loaned against property this year than last.

Tennova steps on stage By Sandra Clark It was a time of sadness and celebration as officials from Tennova hosted ice cream socials at all former Mercy Health Partners facilities. At the newest facility, North Knoxville Medical Center off Emory Road near I-75, physicians and nurses met the new CEO, Rob Followell. The historic transfer of Mercy Health Partners to the Florida-based Health Management Associates was
recorded last week. Register of Deeds Sherry Witt said it is the most valuable transfer of real property in the history of Knox County. Myron Ely of East Tennessee Title handled the closing, which totaled more than $200 million. The 19 parcels that make up the Oak Hill campus sold for $82.6 million; the adjoining Oak Hill Child Care Center sold for $1.36 million; the Baptist West complex sold for $39.25 million; while the
nine parcels at Mercy North sold for $65.6 million. The old Baptist Hospital on Blount Avenue sold for $12.35 million, and the St. Mary’s Residential Hospice in Halls sold for $2.23 million. Jeff Ashin remains the CEO of Physicians Regional Medical Center; Rob Followell is CEO at North Knoxville; and Lance Jones is CEO at Turkey Creek Medical Center (formerly Mercy West).
Professional service close to home Weavers offer aid for hearing loss By Sandra Clark In their practice at Weaver Hearing Aid Center, Gary and Belinda Weaver have heard it all. They’ve heard every reason imaginable for delaying or avoiding altogether the need for hearing assistance. From cost to bulky equipment to difficulty of maintenance, the patients just “get along” as their hearing fades.
For some, it’s as simple as not knowing where to start. (Free advice: the best starting point is probably not a screaming ad from someone passing through.) Here’s Gary’s advice: “I tell them to 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 interview 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 years.”

Belinda and Gary Weaver of Weaver Hearing Aid Center 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 manufacturers 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.”

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER
Fort Sanders heart team saves Knox man from deadly ‘widow-maker’ heart attack For most of his 73 years, Dave Matthews has been very healthy and active. The West Knoxville man walks several miles every day, has never smoked and never experienced any heart problems. That’s why Matthews was surprised when he suddenly began having severe chest pains, trouble breathing and heavy sweating while running errands one day this summer.
“I’m a blessed man. If I had gotten to the hospital 15 or 20 minutes later, I wouldn’t be here today.”
Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center has received the American College of Cardiology Foundation’s NCDR ACTION Registry-GWTG Gold Performance Achievement Award for 2011.
Fort Sanders Regional consistently followed the treatment guidelines in ACTION Registry® -GWTG™ for eight consecutive quarters and met a performance standard of 85% for specific performance measures to receive this 2011 award.
– Fort Sanders heart attack survivor Dave Matthews “It felt like an elephant sitting on my chest,” remembers Matthews. “It hurt so bad and wouldn’t let up. I realized I must be having a heart attack.” Matthews called his wife who called 911. An ambulance met Matthews at a parking lot in Bearden and quickly took him to the hospital. “I told them to take me to Fort Sanders,” says Matthews. “The emergency doctor and nurses there worked really fast to do an EKG and draw blood. The doc said I was having a heart attack right then!” Within minutes of arriving at Fort Sanders, Matthews was whisked to the Cardiac Catherization Laboratory where the Heart Team discovered his left anterior descending (LAD) heart artery was blocked completely, and his left side was damaged. “I’ve never seen people moving so fast,” recalls Matthews. “The doctors and nurses were running over themselves getting everything set up to work on me.”
Fort Sanders receives GWTG Gold Performance Achievement Award
David Matthews (left) says he’s blessed to have been given more time to spend with his family after narrowly surviving a dangerous heart attack. Pictured from left to right are wife Phyllis, son Tony, daughter Michelle and son Rick. and restored blood flow with a stent. “Dr. Adams told me I had a “widow-maker” heart attack,” says Matthews. “I’m a blessed man. If I had gotten to the hospital 15 or 20 minutes later, I wouldn’t be here today.” Matthews says he’ll always remember the great teamwork displayed by the ambulance crew, the Fort Sanders Emergency and Heart Department nurses, and the Fort Sanders physicians. “Everyone was so professional and knew exactly what they needed to do.” Matthews says he feels blessed to have been treated Fort Sanders Interventional Cardiologist by Dr. Adams that day. “He’s a wonderDr. Brian Adams quickly used a device to ful young man and just a precious person. suck the blood clot out of the blocked artery, God’s hand was on him and me. I feel so then opened Matthew’s blocked LAD artery blessed to be alive!” The American College of Cardiology and American Heart Association’s recommended goal “Door to Balloon” time for hospitals nationwide is under 90 minutes. “Door to Balloon” is the amount of time from when a heart patient arrives at the ER to the opening of the blocked heart artery. The average Door to Balloon time in 2010 for Fort Sanders Regional was 54.6 minutes. Time IS heart muscle!
The award recognizes FSRMC’s success in implementing a higher standard of care for heart attack patients. It also signifies that Fort Sanders has reached an aggressive goal of treating these patients with standards of care outlined by the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association clinical guidelines and recommendations. To receive the ACTION RegistryGWTG Performance Achievement Award, Fort Sanders consistently followed the treatment guidelines in ACTION Registry-GWTG for eight consecutive quarters and met a performance standard of 85 percent for specific performance measures. Fort Sanders is one of only 167 hospitals in the U.S. to receive the 2011 GWTG Gold Performance Achievement Award.

ted to the emergency department at Fort Sanders Regional, where physicians activate the 24/7 Angioplasty Team to get your artery open as soon as possible.” Suspected heart attack patients are taken straight to the cardiac catheterization laboratory to evaluate the type of heart attack and amount of heart damage. The standard treatment for STEMI is angioplasty, which uses a balloon-like catheter threaded through the patient’s groin or wrist and into the heart artery to open a blockage. Tracking a hospital’s door-toballoon time is a measure of quality cardiac care. Fort Sanders’ average time is under 60 minutes, according to Adams, well under the 90-minute guideline recommended by the American College of Cardiology and the American Heart Association. It is much faster than the national average time of 142 minutes. For more information about the Heart Center at Fort Sanders Regional, call (865) 673-FORT (3678) or go to fsregional.com.

The only thing to fear in this photo is that Cream will be adopted before you can get to the Animal Center. Cream is a 1-year-old female Fancy Rat. She and her pal Peaches are wonderful girls. They love to cuddle with each other, and they appreciate when their fans give them treats like fresh fruit. Also, rats will often use a litter box. Despite what you may think, rats are fastidious. They groom constantly and prefer a fresh and clean environment. They need plenty of room to climb and roam, and you might make up for a smaller cage by giving them lots of time on your shoulder or in your pocket. Cream and all of the other small mammals are adoptable at the main center at 3210 Division St. Visitors are welcome 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 1-6 p.m. Sunday.

Pat Stogner used her ‘ three f’s’ to battle breast cancer Faith, Family, Friends By Anne Hart
P
at Stogner will readily tell you that in addition to a team of mighty good doctors, nurses and their respective support staff, there have been three powerful forces at work to make her a breast cancer survivor of 10 years: faith, family and friends. Those who know her well would add a fourth: a strong sense of humor that never really left her, no matter how bad things got. Stogner had always been faithful about getting mammograms, but it was a breast self-examination not too long after one of those mammograms that indicated certain changes which sent her immedi-
ately to her doctor. After a biopsy, she says, “Dr. Hugh Hyatt told my husband the cancer was invasive and we were in trouble. It really frightened us.” But there was some positive news, too. “Dr. Allan Grossman, my oncologist, had just been to a seminar in New York where they had talked about invasive cancers, and he was excited about all he had learned. He held my hand every step of the way. I have really been blessed.” But there was to be a long, long road ahead. First, there were three months of chemotherapy, and she lost all of her hair. “But it was OK. Everybody brought me baseball caps to wear.” The chemo was followed by a mastectomy. Even then, Stogner’s faith was keeping her strong. “When the anesthesiologist was strapping me down before the surgery, I told him I didn’t want him to strap

down my right hand. I could feel the Lord holding it. And I really could.” During the surgery, 17 lymph nodes were also removed. Stogner fought on. About the time her hair started growing back,
the doctors recommended three more months of chemotherapy and then 37 radiation treatments. The hair fell out again. It grew back again. She can laugh about it all now, saying that for her,
now, “there is no such thing as a bad hair day.” Stogner says she could not have made it without the strong support of her husband, Bob, a retired banker. “He was so supportive and so loving and wouldn’t let me do a thing. And my friends and my church gathered around me like crazy, even my old friends from Columbia, N.C., where I grew up. The people in those churches prayed for me every Sunday, and they took turns calling every Sunday night to check up on me.” The Stogners are members of West Hills Presbyterian Church, where Pat Stogner sings in the choir and is active in the Women of the Church. She says Scott Horne, the minister, was particularly supportive, as were many other members. She says her experience with cancer has given her “a much deeper rela-
tionship with the Lord. I study the Bible a lot more now, and first thing every morning I thank Him for this day.” And she has found a unique way to give back to others traveling that road she took so many years ago. She works one day a week at Steinmart, and says, “I can almost tell the women who have had a cancer experience when I see them, and sometimes I can give them a hug and tell them they’re going to be OK. You know, the Lord sometimes allows you to be in certain situations where you can share His love.” Things have calmed down now in the Stogner household. The couple enjoy visits with their two sons, Bobby and Stuart and their wives, and with their five grandchildren. “Life is good,” Pat Stogner says, “and it’s really all because of faith, family and friends.” Contact: annehartsn@aol.com.

Understanding risks is half the battle against breast cancer W
ith 1 in 8 women projected to be diagnosed with breast cancer over the course of her lifetime, understanding what affects your risk and how to catch any warning signs early – not only for your own sake, but for the sakes of your loved ones – is more important than ever. There may not be a cure for breast cancer yet, but there is so much you can do to raise awareness and lower your risk.
1
Maintain a healthy lifestyle
2
Know your history & how to detect the symptoms
You can reduce your risk for breast cancer by leading a healthier lifestyle – including exercising regularly, making healthier choices when it comes to eating and drinking, and limiting your exposure to tobacco and alcohol. The changes don't have to be drastic – start with simple changes, such as swapping one sugar-sweetened beverage a day for water, adding fruit and vegetables to your diet or taking the dog for an extralong walk.
to breast cancer research and awareness programs. There are simple ways for you to get involved – from buying products that support these types of organizations to hosting a fundraiser with friends. Nestle Pure Life brand bottled water is a great example, spotlighting breast cancer awareness on its packaging nationwide and in Canada during Breast Cancer Awareness Month (October). For every specially marked “pink ribbon” package produced, the company will donate 10 cents to BCRF (minimum donation of $350,000). The funding will Support research & the support a BCRF grant directed to researchmission to find a cure ers who are working on innovative ways to Great work has been done to improve the prevent, treat and cure all aspects of breast treatment of breast cancer and research- cancer. For more information on how to get ers are working tirelessly toward a cure. In order to continue their intensive and in- involved in raising awareness and on the novative research, they need the support of latest research and breakthroughs, visit organizations, such as The Breast Cancer BCRFCure.org. There are even more tips Research Foundation (BCRF), to help fund on precautions you and your loved ones their work. BCRF, for example, directs can take to reduce your risk and get inmore than 90 cents of every dollar donated volved. Despite a healthy lifestyle, if you have a family history of breast cancer, that adds to your risk. So, it's crucial to know if any of your close relatives have had the disease. In addition, there are factors you can be on the lookout for as warning signs at almost any age. The American Cancer Society recommends starting routine self-examinations in your 20s, so you can report any changes or concerns to your health care provider. You can also visit MayoClinic.com for more information. Yearly mammograms are recommended starting at age 40.
