Gresham student starts blanket drive By Betty Bean Her name was Opal Williamson, but everyone called her Nanny. She loved her family, Carter Valley Missionary Baptist Church and slapstick humor. Her greatgranddaughter Gabby Bogart says her Nanny’s chicken and dumplings were amazing. But that was before dementia clouded her mind and made it impossible for her to live at home, so she spent the last years of her life at Beverly Park Place Health and Rehabilitation (formerly Hillcrest North). Gabby, who is a 12-year-old Gresham Middle School 7th grader, visited her regularly, with her little sister, Christina in tow. This fact alone makes Gabby Bogart pretty unusual, says Sandra Maples, the activities director at Beverly Park Place. “We’ve got a lot (of patients) who don’t have families; a lot who have families that don’t show up,” Maples said. But what makes Gabby really stand out among the visitors who come in and out of the nursing home is this – even after her Nanny’s death on Sept. 6, Gabby is thinking about the people who are still there. “It was always cold in there, summer and winter,” Gabby said. “They keep the air conditioning on, and a lot of the patients don’t have warm blankets or warm socks. I was cold whenever I went there, even with my sweatshirt on.” It was during her Nanny’s last week of life that Gabby came up with the idea that she’s tentatively dubbed “Blankets of Hope.” She

plans to collect warm, fuzzy twinsized blankets, socks and stuffed toys to distribute to Beverly Park Place residents. She has told her family that this is what she wants for Christmas this year. “I’m hoping we could make them feel like family,” Gabby said. Her mother, Jaclyn Bogart, is going to help, and says the comfort items can be gently used, as well as new. She has agreed to make sure they get to where they need to go. She is very proud of her daughter. “Gabby often wondered why there are no decorations, no colorful blankets or anything on some of the beds. I told her that some people that are in there do not have family. She said, ‘Mom, this year I want to collect as many blankets and socks as I can and take to the nursing home to show these people that they are loved,’” Jaclyn said. Classmates and friends at Gresham have gotten involved, as well. Guidance counselor Marc Sandlin has pitched in, and so has Cricket Prentiss, who teaches Gabby’s AVID class (Advancement Via Individual Determination is a college readiness program with a public service component). “Gabby came to me and her AVID teacher, and since part of their curriculum is to do community service projects, Ms. Prentiss is delighted to help, and so am I. Any time a kid wants to get outside themselves, we’re all for it,” Sandlin said. Info: Jaclyn Bogart, 809-3712 or jbogart3507@comcast.net.

Two from EPA visit Beaver Creek Watershed By Sandra Clark Beaver Creek is coming back. “We’re seeing improvement,” said Roy Arthur, watershed coordinator for Knox County. “We started the restoration five years ago with a 15-year plan. We should see real progress in another five years.” Arthur hosted the annual meetRoy Arthur ing of the Beaver Creek Task Force last week at the Hallsdale Powell Utility District. Some 50 individuals including two from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in Atlanta attended. Vivian Doyle, Tennessee watershed coordinator for EPA Region 4, is very familiar with what we’re doing and is supportive, Arthur said.

HPUD president Darren Cardwell spoke about ways the utility has improved water quality, primarily through construction of a new wastewater treatment plant on Beaver Creek. Then the group toured five facilities: HPUD’s new headquarters, Arthur’s stream restoration project at the Halls Comunity Park, the Halls High Outdoor Classroom, the Brickey-McCloud stormwater wetland which HPUD built to filter runoff from school property, and the Powell Station Park Rain Garden. Is there hope that Beaver Creek can get off the state’s list of impaired streams? Absolutely, said Arthur. Already a tributary, Cox Creek which feeds into Beaver Creek near Mill Run subdivision in Halls, has been “delisted.” A segment of Bull Run Creek has been delisted as well after improvements to nearby

farms kept waste out of the creek. The Beaver Creek Task Force is a consortium of businesses and agencies that which meet occasionally to catch up. Arthur said three big projects are ahead: ■ Knox County will be repairing 1,200 feet of stream near Cox Creek between Brown Gap and Crippen roads in Halls. ■ Knox County and a homeowners association will collaborate to alleviate flooding at Cedar Crossing subdivision and the Villas at Cedar Crossing. The design bid closed Sept. 14 and the design should be finished in six weeks, Arthur said. The county will install a bioretention facility on the community’s common area that will capture the first inch of rainfall. The homeowners association plans

improvements to enhance the common area, he said. “They are creating their own mini-park.” Additionally, the county contracted with Dr. Andrea Ludwick of UT’s bio-system engineering and soil science department to collect and study rainfall. Her team has worked for 15 months in Cedar Crossing. Also, Arthur has assisted in establishing rain gardens and has installed 10 rain barrels at Cedar Crossing. ■ The third project is at Karns in the Painter Farm subdivision where Knox County is working with the Legacy Parks Foundation to develop a stormwater demonstration site on 11 acres. “Now all the runoff goes straight into Beaver Creek,” Arthur said. “We’ll start grading and stabilizing that site next month. When finished it will resemble what HPUD did at Brickey-McCloud.”

Hill calls service on HPUD board ‘great honor’ By Sandra Clark Jim Hill made a few remarks before leaving the board of the Hallsdale Powell Utility District where he has served since 1974. Mayor Tim Burchett rejected HPUD’s three nominees, forcing the utility to submit another list of three. Lawyer Bud Gilbert told the board of commissioners that Burchett can select a commissioner off the next list or can again reject the nominees. To prevent a stalemate, state law requires the county mayor to select from a possible

third list of nominees or the top name on that list automatically gets a four-year term. Interested persons should contact CEO Darren Cardwell to obtain an application. The existing commissioners will evaluate nomiJim Hill nees and select a list of three. Commissioners earn $350 per month. Hill called the commissioner’s

job “thankless,” but said it was a great honor to have served. He said HPUD has “top-notch people doing a fabulous job.” He paid tribute to former managers Allan Gill and Marvin Hammond and “all the commissioners with whom I’ve served.” Hill called for a review of the district’s pension plan, “a fair salary scale,” and a look at training and professional development. He suggested a rate review to “give a break” to seniors and people on fixed incomes and said a merger with another utility

might lead to shared costs and savings. In August, HPUD set 27 water meters and inspected 20 sewer hookups. The district treated 247.9 million gallons of water and 175.7 million gallons of wastewater. Commissioners OK’d a final payment of $74,061 to Merit Construction for basin repairs at the Melton Hill Water Treatment Plant and set the next meeting for 1:30 p.m. Monday, Oct. 8. CEO Darren Cardwell said more than 300 people had applied for two jobs in customer service.

Coffee Break with

Ed Smith

Ed Smith has lived in Broadacres for a long time. The retired employee of Associated Press says he will continue as president of the Broadacres Homeowners Association until he reaches the membership plateau that means he’s leaving the group better than he found it. Ed likes his old brown truck, saying he bought it used and in mint condition. After a few weeks, he had dented the hood, busted a taillight and been rearended. “It still runs great,” he said. He got that Bill Haslam window sticker after he walked the gubernatorial candidate through Broadacres. He recalls getting up really early to meet Haslam. As he left, wife Vicki said, “Do not bring that man here.” Of course, the first stop was Ed’s own house. He hid behind a shrub as a surprised Vicki opened the door to confront the future governor. Ed and Vicki landscape the entrances to Broadacres. Both are all-around good neighbors. Ed has survived brain surgery. He is also a longtime employee at the Knox County Clerk’s office. He’s a longtime Powell community activist and is an enthusiastic supporter of U.S. Rep. John Duncan. Sit with a cup of coffee and get to know Ed Smith:

government Thanks, guys! When Democratic legislative candidate Gloria Johnson files her next financial disclosure report, she might list the Republican controlled Knox County Election Commission as an “in kind donation” for “campaign publicity and exposure with high value.” Why? The closure of the Belle Morris voting precinct, in the heart of state House District 13, has been a political gift which keeps on giving. It has kept Johnson’s name before the public all summer and all without her spending a dime. Johnson’s name and photo appear in articles and on television. This has been going on since summer. Meanwhile, her Republican opponent, Gary Loe, has been as quiet as a church mouse. While Loe had nothing to do with the decision to close the voting site, he has not voiced a word in opposition to it either. The five members of the Knox County Election Commission are all politically appointed. In reality the Knox state legislators of both parties recommend the Democrats and Republicans to serve. Since the GOP controls the legislature they also control each of the county election commissions. Attorney Chris Heagerty serves as chair. Personally, I do not think the EC closed Belle Morris as a partisan gesture. In fact, Democrat Cassandra Stuart voted at first with the Republicans to close the precinct at the recommendation of Cliff Rodgers, administrator of elections. She has since learned from local Democrats that she needs to support keeping Belle Morris open as a voting site. However, it is clear the election staff and GOP commissioners never seriously considered the political consequences of their action. Had they done so, surely they would have postponed this controversial decision to 2013. They never considered that the Democratic party chair, Gloria Johnson, lived there and would make it a public issue, along with former County Commissioner Mark Harmon. Both know a good news story and how to work it. Even the Knox County Commission debated this. The Johnson-Loe contest is considered close. The seat is now held by Democrat Harry Tindell. As few as 500 votes out of 10,000 votes cast could separate the winner from the loser. Independent Nick Cazana is on the ballot, too.

Victor Ashe

The closure has surely stirred up a hornet’s nest. While few who live outside the former Belle Morris precinct may care about its closure, it has generated countywide attention. Belle Morris has always been a bellwether ward. It could go Democratic or Republican. This November, voter turnout will be high and voters normally accustomed to voting at Belle Morris may resent having to go elsewhere to vote. Not only has Johnson gotten free media, she has been seen as a champion of transparency for the Election Commission which meets inconveniently at 8 a.m. most times. The commission never met in the area to seek public input. And a recent public meeting resulted in heated personal words between commissioners and Harmon. Since the stated reason for closing Belle Morris was lack of access for the disabled, that has triggered articles on the disabled voting in Knoxville and once again Johnson is mentioned. The most recent story focused on highly popular and respected Appeals Judge Charles Susano and how he votes with his disability. Of course, there are other issues which the winner will actually vote on in Nashville such as taxes, schools, vouchers, parks, transportation and greenways not to mention local government mandates and health care. These issues have been sidetracked. Perhaps in the next four weeks leading up to early voting, they will surface – perhaps in a debate at Belle Morris School. If Johnson wins, a thank you note should go to the Election Commission. ■ Beth Harwell, Tennessee House Speaker, is in Knoxville Sept. 18-19 hosting fundraisers for Steve Hall and Gary Loe. ■ Bill Purcell, former Nashville mayor, speaks at the Baker Center 7 p.m. Monday, Sept. 24.

Cell towers win at MPC Two more wireless communications towers will be built in North Knox following action by the Metropolitan Planning Commission last week. Objecting neighbors have 15 days to appeal to City Council, but it’s unlikely the MPC decision will be overturned. That’s because, as MPC Deputy Director Buz Johnson said, “We have very little wiggle room.” He said Federal Communications Commission (FCC) guidelines limit local restrictions on cell tower locations. That did not stop Bob Wolfenbarger and the Alice Bell Spring Hill Homeowners Association from opposing a 150-foot monopole

Sandra Clark

tower at the intersection of Washington Pike and South Mall Road where the community has landscaped and installed a “welcome” sign. “This is not a NIMBY (not in my backyard) issue,” said Wolfenbarger. “This (sign) is literally on our front porch.” But MPC commissioner Bart Carey said the Alice Bell Spring Hill community lost its backyard and front porch with the construction of I-640.

Jean Greer presented a petition signed by 180 residents in opposition to a proposed 195-foot monopole tower on land owned by Trinity Church. Greer said the tower will be “literally feet” from the entrance to Sterchi School. Officials from U.S. Cellular said the company could make do with a 170-foot tower. Both items passed with only Jack Sharp voting no. New members were welcomed to MPC: the Rev. Charles F. Lomax Jr., Janice Tocher, Len Johnson and Herbert Anders. Leaving MPC are Robert Anders, Ursula Bailey, Stan Johnson and Robert “Mose” Lobetti.

Devaney visits Knoxville By Anne Hart Longtime party activist Ruthie Kuhlman is president of West Knox Republican Club, replacing Gary Loe, a candidate for the state House in District 13. Loe had resigned the position, saying that he is working to represent all residents of the 13th District and feels it is inappropriate for him to remain as chair of a purely partisan organization. Loe’s opponents in the general election are Gloria Johnson, chair of the Knox County Democratic Party, and independent Nick Cazana. State GOP chair Chris Devaney said the major goals of the state party this year are to re-elect U.S. Sen. Bob Corker and U.S.

Rep. John Duncan, to add two Republican members to the state House and two Republican members to the state Senate “to provide a walkout-proof quorum,” and to elect Mitt Romney president. Devaney said the Democratic Party on the state level “is supporting Gloria Johnson as a last stand, but we all know we can’t elect people like Barack Obama and Gloria Johnson. We need Gary Loe in Nashville.” Loe recently received the endorsement of the National Federation of Independent Business, based on his positions and record on small business issues. Loe called the endorsement critical to his campaign. “Small business

Briggs brings back billboard ban On Monday, Sept. 24, County Commissioner Richard Briggs will be bringing a billboard ban back to his colleagues. It’s no secret that Briggs doesn’t care for billboards, especially the ones with blinky lights that stand close to neighborhoods. He started working to regulate them almost as soon as he took office in 2008, and wanted to ban any new billboards in order to bring the county in step with the city, which enacted a moratorium in 2001. He said he has had many constituent requests for the measure. “In 2008, I had a resolution for a moratorium on permits for new billboards,” he said. “It was a ban on conversion of existing billboards to digital billboards. I think there are six (of the digital bill-

Betty Bean

boards) in Knox County.” Four years later, he doesn’t stint on colorful language to describe his feelings about billboards. “There’s that big one along the interstate at Crossville. You can see it flashing three miles away. Can you imagine living anywhere near that? I personally find digital billboards the most obnoxious,” he said. “We already have so many billboards close to neighborhoods and they project so much light, for such a distance. They produce a kaleidoscope of lights flashing across your

backyard. Orange, purple, red – imagine what it’s like to have those lights flashing in your bedroom window all night long.” But that’s not the only problem that bothers Dr. Briggs. Safety is as big an issue as aesthetics, he said. EMCs and digital billboards are distracting to passing motorists. “I think we have enough driving distractions already with cellphones, etc.,” he said. So on Sept. 24, Briggs will bring another ban to his commission colleagues. This one will be more comprehensive, and he plans to do it in three separate measures: one to ban all new billboards in Knox County; another to prohibit conversions of traditional billboards to digital billboards;

the other to ban all electronic message centers (EMCs). Last February, the Metropolitan Planning Commission presented a billboard ban to County Commission that would prohibit new outdoor advertising not attached to buildings and grandfather in existing billboards. County Commission was preparing to enter a difficult round of budget hearings and voted to defer the MPC proposal. Briggs is concerned that there might be some procedural difficulties reconciling his proposal with the MPC plan. “I wish they would just withdraw their plan,” he said. Expect to see billboard companies in full force to keep their industry alive and moving toward digital technology. And be prepared for a long day at County Commission.

Sad that two all-Americans were wasted. Oh, the things that might have been. Rearranging history is a splendid idea. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s waste four minutes playing â&#x20AC;&#x153;what if?â&#x20AC;? What if Justin Hunter and Tyler Bray had not been injured last season? Indeed, they and Jackson might have saved a game or three. Last year would not have been this year but the hole would not have been quite so deep. You can take â&#x20AC;&#x153;what if?â&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;might have beenâ&#x20AC;? anywhere you want to go, all the way back to the second beginning. What if Captain Robert Reese Neyland, 33, too tall in the spring of 1925 for his little grey desk at the U.S. Military Academy, had remained on duty and surrendered his idea of applying military tactics to football? What if he had been less logical in seeking employment? He had heard about comparable openings. He studied a map and concluded that Iowa was probably surrounded by corn and cows. There might be people scattered around East Tennessee. He had seen some Volunteer hillbillies two years earlier. They came to West Point. They brought their own barrel of home-grown apples as snacks. They lost, 41-0. Neyland suspected Tennessee had no way to go but up. What would have happened if Bowden Wyatt had mothballed the single-wing, installed the T formation and successfully recruited quarterbacks Steve Spurrier from Johnson City and Steve Sloan from Cleveland? A historic crossroads ran through a smoke-filled room, early December 1963 athletic board meeting. What if Murray Warmath advocates had won that latenight debate and Bob Woodruff had been discarded? Who else knew Arkansas assistant Doug Dickey had great leadership potential? What if Tom Fisher, 1965

CROSS CURRENTS | Lynn Hutton Realizing that their father was dead, Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brothers said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;What if Joseph still bears a grudge against us and pays us back in full for the wrong that we did to him?â&#x20AC;? So they approached Joseph, saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Your father gave this instruction before he died, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Say to Joseph: I beg you forgive the crime of your brothers and the wrong they did in harming you.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Now therefore please forgive the crime of the servants of the God of your father.â&#x20AC;? Joseph wept when they spoke to him. (Genesis 50: 15-17 NRSV)

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think much in terms of forgiveness,â&#x20AC;? my friend said. I was stunned. I had been the one asking for the forgiveness and doing so in earnest. To have it brushed aside was a shock. To have it, in essence, refused was unimaginable to me. How does the world go on if we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ask and receive (as well as be asked for and grant) forgiveness? There is a humility required to ask for forgiveness. One has to be prepared to say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was wrong. I should not have said [or done or allowed or thought] that.â&#x20AC;? The concept of forgiveness runs throughout the Prophets and the Gospels and Epistles.

I wondered, though, where in the Bible the concept first appeared. Turns out, we get all the way to the last chapter of Genesis before the word â&#x20AC;&#x153;forgiveâ&#x20AC;? appears. The scene features Joseph, now prime minister of Egypt, and his miserable brothers who sold him into slavery because of their jealousy. Their father Jacob is dead, and the brothers realize that now there is no one standing between them and their powerful brother, who surely must hold a monumental grudge for the way they planned first to murder him and then settled for selling him to some passing Egyptians and lying to their father about it. It is here that the broth-

ers tell Joseph that Jacob had sent word before his death that he (Joseph) should forgive his brothers the wrongs they committed against him. We are left in the dark, just as Joseph is, as to the truthfulness of this claim. The Bible does not record that Jacob actually said such a thing. But Joseph is a better man than his brothers, and declines to be their judge and jury. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be afraid,â&#x20AC;? he reassures them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Am I in the place of God? You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.â&#x20AC;? The â&#x20AC;&#x153;take-away lessonsâ&#x20AC;? from this story are several: Sometimes scoundrels get away with it. Forgiveness is a healthy thing. God is God and we are not. The other thing I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help noticing is that God can take a horrible situation and redeem it. When humans mess up Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plans, Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s order, God can find a way to turn it to good. God did it then, and God now works at it every day.

Benefit concert at Trinity Chapel By Cindy Taylor Meghann and Derrick Overholt will host a fundraiser 5 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 22, at Trinity Chapel to celebrate the life and memory of their son, Elisha, who passed in 2011. Proceeds will go to East Tennessee Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital. Meghann grew up in Halls and Derrick is from the Gibbs/Corryton area. The couple met at Trinity Chapel and married in December 2006. They hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t planned to start a family until five years into their marriage, but after only three years the couple had a change of heart. We decided that we should trust God and have faith that the timing would be just right,â&#x20AC;? said Meghann. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I found out I was pregnant in January 2010. We were so excited.â&#x20AC;? After an uneventful pregnancy and birth the couple brought home their beautiful baby boy, Elisha Israel, on Sept. 24, 2010. During the first 24-hour check-up a nurse noticed that Elishaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s breathing was too fast. The family was sent to the ER at Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital and Elisha was admitted when the physicians found an abnormality with his heart. This was only the first round of bad news the family would receive in the coming months. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We went from having a perfectly normal pregnancy and a wonderful birth to a motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worst nightmare in a matter of seconds,â&#x20AC;? said Meghann. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But Elisha smiled and laughed and played like nothing in the world was bothering him.â&#x20AC;? Elisha was in the NICU for seven days where doctors discovered other

On July 14, 2011, Elisha underwent open heart surgery at Vanderbilt Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital but went into cardiac arrest and did not survive the surgery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were with Elisha when he took his first breath and we were with him when he breathed his last,â&#x20AC;? said Meghann. Through Elishaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passing the couple says God has used them to lead two family members to Christ and provided several counseling opportunities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We still struggle with Elishaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death but we know that God is with us,â&#x20AC;? said Meghann. â&#x20AC;&#x153;God gave His own son so He understands completely what we are going through.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we were in NICU at Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, we were treated so well and they made the room feel

Time out for parents By Cindy Taylor Central Baptist Church of Fountain City started its Parent’s Night Out ministry three years ago and the first Friday of each month continues to be a blessing for parents. Children 6 weeks old through 5th grade are provided with snacks, crafts, movies, games and playtime in a safe, spirituallybased environment. Parents can drop off their kids as early as 6 p.m. and pick them back up by 10:30 p.m. Cost ranges from $20-$45 depending on the number of children in the family. “Part of our mission as a church is to be

a help to families so children can grow up strong and healthy,” said ministry founder and director Christina Perkins. “When I had my first child, there was a church that was doing this, and when we moved and became a part of Central Baptist, I approached the pastor about starting the program here.” Perkins says the children who attend love it so much they encourage their parents to go out so they can come to the church. “The children come skipping in and are happy when the parents come to pick them up,” said Perkins. “Providing this ministry is an exciting opportunity.” Info:www.cbcfc.org.

Shopper-News Presents Miracle Makers

One spoke in the wheel Porter says staff makes the difference at Powell High

By Jake Mabe

im Porter makes it clear quickly. He’s just one spoke in the wheel at Powell High School. His job, he says, depends on others – teachers, guidance counselors, staff members, principal Ken Dunlap. Porter says the graduation coach at Powell High is “a jack of all trades” and he calls it a work in progress. Porter began the role last school year by teaching two recovery credit classes and meeting with students with academic difficulties during the other two class periods. This year, he’s teaching three classes. He works with sophomores, juniors and seniors at the beginning of the school year and starts working with freshmen after their first semester. “We start as early as we can, identifying students who might need (extra help). Teachers refer students to me and we ask, ‘is this student on track to graduate and, if not, what do we need to do to get them on track?’ And we’ve had some great finds, students who might have fallen through the cracks otherwise. “Getting them here? That’s over half the battle right there. If they’re not here, we can’t teach them. Our goal is to get them to that diploma. And we’d love to give it to them here at Powell High School, or if that means them going to the (Kelley Academy) or to the adult high school. As long as we can keep them thinking about the high school diploma, that’s what I’m after.” Online courses are sometimes used in the recovery credit classes. They are self-paced programs that include courses required for graduation. “Last spring, we had a student who had two weeks until deadline for graduation who still hadn’t taken English IV. Working day and night (online), the student got it done. That student was very much an exception, an above average student to begin with. But, students can take the online classes and work on them at home and in school in recovery credit classes. We also had one student who gained three credits on top of the classes they were taking, so they walked out of the semester with 11 credits instead of eight.” Something is working. This year, Powell was the only high school in Knox County to be named a Rewards School by Gov. Bill Haslam for being among the top five percent of schools in the state in annual growth. Porter again gives credit to the entire school staff, saying students receive help from all of them.

“(Powell) is the only school I’ve ever taught at. It’s evolved in different ways, but people (always) embrace not only our traditions but the camaraderie of the school. We’re not afraid to share ideas and help each other out.” Porter says he visits a lot of classrooms during the course of his day. “One of Mr. Dunlap’s famous phrases is ‘Go teach like your hair is on fi re.’ Every time I go into a classroom, these teachers are teaching. They care about the students and they care about the fact that we’re trying to get them to graduation. But, with that big goal in mind, they’re also trying to get them to learn. It’s not just about earning a credit, it’s also about learning (the subject).”

Porter says teaching has never and will never be just an eight-hour job. “You do carry it with you. Teachers bring papers home to grade after they’ve had family time. And you go to bed thinking about it and you wake up thinking about it.” Joking that he’s willing to steal any good idea, Porter says the school might implement something similar to Carter High School’s Hornet Watch, which tracks the potential graduation rate of each class based on the number of credits each student has earned plus real-time data. “Carter used it to identify the most at-risk kids in each grade level. It’s just a tool to help us identify where we stand.” Saying, “We try to build the kids up,” Porter adds that the school also

holds drawings for students with perfect attendance, for example, and gives them various donations from local businesses. He says if he knew nearly 30 years ago what he knows now, he would have become a guidance counselor. “There are times when you don’t succeed. But there are great times when you see a student that just blossoms, just comes alive, even if it’s at the last minute, and they make it happen and get through high school. More likely than not, they continue on with their education.” And, with that, Jim Porter tries to duck getting his picture taken, says he doesn’t want to be singled out and repeats for the 100th time that he’s but one member of a great staff at Powell High School.

Central High remembers 9/11

A patient at Children’s Hospital receives a coloring book and crayon package from Girl Scout Helen Wilds. Photo submitted

Retired Army Lt. Col. George Massey (pictured) stood before a packed auditorium at Central High School on Tuesday, Sept. 11, and reflected on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001. Massey called that day “horrendous” and a day that changed our world. “The positive outcome from the attacks was that the country rallied together against a common enemy, (there was) an outpouring of pride in the country and the public was more openly supportive of the military.” With the attacks, the country lost a certain number of freedoms and the country as a whole lost some innocence. The Central High Select Choraliers sang several patriotic songs including “The Battle Hymn of the Republic,” “America the Beautiful” and “The Patriotic Salute.” Photo by Ruth White

A day to remember and honor Chief Todd Johnson receives a certificate of appreciation from Cadet Lt. Col. Nathan Wech at Gibbs High School. Students and staff members gathered on Tuesday morning, the 11th anniversary of the terrorist attacks, to honor and remember fallen heroes. Johnson was on hand to speak with the group and reminded students to “never forget those who have gone before us.” The Gibbs High choral department sang “America the Beautiful” and “Star Spangled Banner” before Hannah Hamblin closed the ceremony with taps.

Wilds earns Gold Award By Ruth White Giving back to the community is important to the Girl Scouts organization. It is also important to 2012 Halls High graduate Helen Wilds. Wilds has been a member of Girls Scouts since she was in the 2nd grade at Halls Elementary. With the guidance of her mom (and troop leader) Martha, Helen has learned to give back to her community and help others in need. She has spent the past year working toward earning the Gold Award, the highest honor given to a Girl Scout. Although her project sounds simple, it required hours of planning, collecting, packaging and delivering. To Wilds, every moment spent has been worth the effort. Not just for earning the Gold Award, but also seeing the faces of children when they reap the benefits of her hard work. Her project was to collect coloring books and crayons and deliver as packages to patients at Children’s Hos-

Help victims of violence The YWCA is recruiting volunteers for “Enough!” It’s a group of citizens who support the YWCA’s efforts to serve victims and end violence. Volunteers’ responsibilities will include answering phones, observing court proceedings and helping victims understand their rights. Applications should be filled out before Oct. 19. Volunteers will need to pass a mandatory screening, attend trainings and volunteer a minimum of 12 hours per month. Info: Chelsea Caraco, 523-6126 or ccaraco@ ywcaknox.com.

pital. Wilds collected more than enough to hand out to patients on any given day – close to 800 coloring books to hand out daily while they lasted. She was truly overwhelmed by the support from the community in helping her bring smiles to children as they face uncertainty. Wilds delivered the first batch of coloring books to the hospital last week and handed them out in the waiting room for patients receiving tests. “It was so much fun to visit with the children,” she said, “and the parents were very appreciative as the children often waited long periods of time while tests were run.” For older patients Wilds created a book filled with puzzles, facts and coloring pages. She had them printed and personally bound them at home. Having earned her Gold Award, she is now earning her Religious Award by working closely with a minister and teaching a six- to eight-week Bible study.

They also carry an excellent selection of specialty foods. Once a week, Avanti Savoia hosts cooking classes led by experienced chefs.

So, take a moment to get to know Ben Slocum and add him to your Shopper Network.

Who inspires you professionally? Other small business owners. When I see other small business owners who are successful or just those trying to start up, it takes a certain amount of guts to try that. It’s inspiring.

Why did you choose this career? It was an opportunity that came along, and I jumped on board. My father had retired, and through his traveling back and forth from the U.S. and Italy, he came across food that wasn’t available in the U.S. He asked me to be a partner in this business, along with a third partner in Italy. I didn’t set out to be in the food industry, but it just kind of happened.

What do you love about your community? You can’t have a community without the people.

What is the best part of your day? Spending time with my beautiful wife and daughter ... duh! If you would like to be a featured business person in Shopper Network, email shannon@ ShopperNewsNow.com.

Hallsdale-Powell Utility District Seeks Applicants For Nomination to its Board of Commissioners Hallsdale-Powell Utility District (HPUD) is now accepting applications for possible nomination as a member of the HPUD Board of Commissioners. HPUD’s Board of Commissioners is comprised of three commissioners, who are each appointed by the Knox County Mayor for a staggered four-year term from a list of three nominees selected by the current HPUD Board of Commissioners. HPUD’s Board of Commissioners is vested with the general power and authority over the utility district, which is managed and operated on a day-to-day basis by the utility district’s president/chief executive officer and who has responsibility and oversight for the utility district’s employees and operations. Besides selecting the utility district’s president/chief executive officer, duties of the HPUD Board of Commissioners include attending all regular monthly meetings and, when called, special meetings of the HPUD Board of Commissioners, adopting an annual budget for the utility district’s operations, setting all rates for water and wastewater services provided by the utility district, and establishing and approving all rules, regulations, policies and procedures necessary for the utility district’s operations. An HPUD Commissioner must also attend a minimum number of certified training hours during his or her appointed term as required by state law. HPUD is one of Tennessee’s largest utility districts, which are treated as governmental entities under state law. HPUD serves water and wastewater service to over 29,075 customers in the north Knox County area (including portions of Union County and Anderson County) with an operating budget in excess of $29.1 million for its most recent fiscal year and a current capital budget in excess of $12.8 million. To apply for possible nomination to the HPUD Board of Commissioners, you must be at least 25 years old and either an HPUD customer within the district’s boundaries or reside within the utility district’s boundaries. Applications for possible nomination to the HPUD Board of Commissioners may be obtained at HPUD’s main office at 3745 Cunningham Rd Knoxville, Tennessee 37918; by calling HPUD at 865-922-7547; on HPUD’s web site www.hpud.org; or by fax request at 865-922-8428.

Accepting New Patients

At KCDC’s August board meeting, we said goodbye to an extraordinary woman who has meant Nance a great deal to us, Juanita Cannon. She served on the KCDC board of commissioners for 18 years, and I am thankful for her dedication to KCDC. At the meeting, Cannon was honored with a proclamation from Mayor Madeline Rogero declaring Aug. 27 Juanita Cannon Day in Knoxville. Fellow board members including our chair, Culver Schmid, also thanked her for a long, productive service. Cannon was appointed to the board by Mayor Victor Ashe. He had been looking for someone familiar with public housing, and she fit the bill, as she lived her younger years in KCDC’s Austin Homes. She characterizes the community as close-knit family and remains in contact with many former Austin Homes neighborhood kids who grew up to be community leaders. KCDC had many significant achievements while she served on our board. She lists the large-scale Mechanicsville public housing and

neighborhood revitalization project and overseeing the bidding process for the revitalization of downtown Knoxville and Gay Street as two of her proudest achievements on the board. A retired school teacher with more than 40 years of experience in Knox County Schools, Cannon takes great pride in her accomplished former students. She enjoyed pointing them out when they came before the board for awards or community presentations. Cannon said she would miss the fellowship on the board, as well as the passion each board Cannon member has for providing quality affordable housing to the city of Knoxville and Knox County. She always enjoyed meeting board members who went on to become influential members of the community, like Gov. Bill Haslam, Laurens Tullock and so many more. We are a very close board, and Juanita Cannon will be sorely missed. I am honored to have had the opportunity to cross her path and am grateful for her many years of service to KCDC.

NEWS FROM TEMPLE BAPTIST ACADEMY

Bump, set, spike! Crusaders volleyball making strides By Michael Scoggins

he Temple High School Crusader volleyball team began training camp with high expectations. Players and coaches alike shared goals of making a statement this season. Temple got off to a solid start by going 4-2 and taking second place in the season-opening Lady Crusader Volleyball Invitational hosted by Crown College. Senior Brittany James, along with juniors Keegan McElyea and Abigail Houston, received all-tournament honors. Since the tournament, Temple has gone 4-1 in regular season play including two wins versus TSSAA opponent King’s Academy. With an emphasis on fundamentals, on-court communication and teamwork, Temple head coach Jared Berry and assistant coach Jessica Motes have positioned Temple as a team to beat this year in the TAACS (Tennessee Athletic Association of Christian Schools). When asked about the season so far Berry said, “One of our points of

We’ve been our own worst enemies at times and it has cost us points. If we can play together as a unit and reduce the number of unforced errors, then we will come out on top more often than not.” The Temple Junior High Crusader volley-

ball team is also off to a great start. The junior high team competes in the Knoxville Independent Sports League. At 7-2, Temple is making a strong push through the schedule with crucial wins versus CAK, Knoxville Christian, Berean Academy and Maryville Christian, among others. Coach Taryn Jones

says she has been pleased with how her team has performed, noting how they have shown a lot of effort and persistence. “One of our goals for this season was for these girls to grow together as a team.

Temple students remember 9/11 By Taryn Jones

Tuesday marked the 11year anniversary of the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Students at Temple Baptist Academy took time to remember the attacks and those who have given their lives fighting the war on terrorism. Temple Elementary students gathered around the school’s f lagpole where the f lag was f lying at half-staff. Sixth grader Ben Jones led the group in the Pledge of Allegiance, after which teachers and students sang “God Bless America.” The ceremo-

ny concluded with a prayer asking God for his blessing on our country, our political and military leaders, and the troops defending our nation. For many of us, we remember where we were and what we were doing 11 years ago. For students, 9/11 is something they are learning about in books. Most students were either very young or not even born when the attacks of 9/11 happened. Teachers and administrators spoke to students recounting where they were and what they experienced on that historic day. On this anniversary, teachers wanted to spend time

talking to students, answering questions, and telling them about the signiﬁcance of 9/11 and the resulting impact it has had on our nation to this day. Principal David Whitaker noted, “I want our students to be challenged to step forward as Christian citizens to make a difference in our country for good and for God. September 11 is a reminder to all of us that no one is guaranteed another day. Life is a gift from God and we are stewards of the life he has given us. We must seize every day as an opportunity with which to serve our God and our country.”

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

Knox news personality broadcasts importance of colon screenings With his smooth and familiar voice, East Tennessee radio personality Dave Foulk of NewsTalk 98.7 is eager to tell everyone about the importance of getting a colonoscopy, the gold standard test for colon cancer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The colonoscopyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing,â&#x20AC;? said Foulk in between news and traffic reports. On the Knoxville airways since 1992, Foulk is back at his microphone after being diagnosed and treated for stage two colon cancer in April at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Colon cancer surgery is a big deal. A colonoscopy is not a big deal,â&#x20AC;? stresses Foulk. A colonoscopy is a test that uses a small camera inserted into the colon, while the patient is under anesthesia. It can detect cancers, as well as allow the physician to remove small pre-cancerous growths during the procedure. Foulkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s story began in late March, when he felt very tired. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just had no energy,â&#x20AC;? he remembers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was tired and chilling. I just thought I was worn out. I thought Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d just rest up on vacation. But my wife made an appointment with my doctor and I got angry at her. I told her: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;All I want is a nap, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re making me go to the doctor.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;? Foulk went anyway, and the doctor found that he had a low red blood cell count and suspected internal bleeding. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re leaking somewhere. When was the last time you had a colonoscopy?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;? says Foulk. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had no family history of colon cancer,â&#x20AC;? says Foulk. He had had a routine colonoscopy at age 50, the recommended age. But since he is now 60, he was due for another. His physician scheduled one with gastroenterologist Dr. Jeffrey Brown at Fort Sanders Regional. During the test, Dr. Brown found and

Did you know?

Prostate cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer among American men. With slightly more than 200,000 new cases each year, it accounts for one third of all new cancer diagnosed in men. Although this type of cancer isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t normally life threatening, it can cause difďŹ culty in urination and sexual function. But prostate cancer may not cause symptoms in its early stages, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to have regular physical exams and talk to your doctor about screenings for the disease. For more information about prostate cancer, including risk factors and upcoming screenings, visit www.thompsoncancer.com.

After battling colorectal cancer, Dave Foulk has returned to the airwaves on WOKI Newstalk 98.7. He was recently named the Tennessee Associated Press Radio Broadcaster of the Year and received accolades for Best Radio Newscast and Best Radio News story.

which he suspected was cancer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After the procedure I asked, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Is it cancer?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;? Foulk remembers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dr. Brown was very nice. He said â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know, but probably.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;? The laboratory confirmed it was. This was a second cancer diagnosis for Foulk, who battled bladder cancer in 1996. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve already gone through the spookiness and weird feeling you get when you find out you had cancer,â&#x20AC;? says Foulk. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ready for this.â&#x20AC;? Foulk underwent colorectal surgery at Fort Sanders Regional, performed by Dr. Gregory Midis, a colorectal and oncologic removed several small growths called surgeon. Dr. Midis removed the tumor polyps, which can be precancerous. He and part of Foulkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s small intestine. Bealso found a mass the size of an orange, cause it had not spread to nearby lymph

â&#x20AC;&#x153;If Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d waited a few months until I started showing symptoms like cramping or pain, there would have been nothing he could have done to save my life.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; David Foulk

nodes, his prognosis is good, and he does not need chemotherapy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have to do a follow-up colonoscopy next year and see the doctor every four months for blood tests,â&#x20AC;? Foulk explains. Although he followed standard guidelines for a colonoscopy at 50 and every 10 years after that, Foulk said he wishes he had had one earlier. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Look at me, the poster child. I started out at 50, then at 60 I was due for another, and this thing had grown to the size of an orange. I think my experience could have been maybe mitigated had we done colon screenings a little more often,â&#x20AC;? he says. But, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thankful it was caught when it was. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dr. Midis said if Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d waited a few months until I started showing symptoms like cramping or pain, there would have been nothing he could have done to save my life.â&#x20AC;? Dr. Midis confirms that the colonoscopy saved Foulkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life. He stays itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important for people to be screened starting at 50 or earlier if they have a family history of the disease. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look for a way to weasel out of it,â&#x20AC;? says Dr. Midis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a guy who got screened, and we got it at an earlier stage than we would have if heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d waited. â&#x20AC;&#x153;His cancer was detected without symptoms. The common thing is people say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I feel great and that means I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a cancer.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the fallacy.â&#x20AC;? Foulk agrees and urges people not to shy away from this life-saving screening. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nobody wants to have a colonoscopy, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m telling you far and away, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more desirable than having a bad outcome. I wish that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d had checks more frequently,â&#x20AC;? states Foulk. For more information about colon screenings, call 865-673-FORT (3478).

Colonoscopies can save lives Colorectal cancer is expected to kill more than 51,000 Americans in 2012, making it the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States, according to the American Cancer Society. One in 20 people will be diagnosed with colorectal cancer; but fortunately, more and more are surviving because of early detection. There are more than 1 million survivors of colorectal cancer in the United States. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most of us know someone whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been touched by this disease,â&#x20AC;? says Dr. Mark Jackson, a gastroenterologist at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But it can be managed, treated and cured if found early.â&#x20AC;? The best tool for detecting colorectal cancer early is a test called a colonoscopy, a simple, inhospital test that allows a doctor to

I have covered the fair for the Shopper for several years and usually attend on the day that they honor senior adults and special friends. Honestly, I like to dart in, snap a few photos and head back to the office. This year, I decided to walk around the fairgrounds and I saw the popular event with a new pair of eyes. The first stop of the day was at the booth featuring candy apples made by the members at Fairview United Methodist Church. Members have been creating this treat for 60 years, and visiting with Roy Hodge was worth the trip. Hodge was all smiles as he sold apples for just $1 each. “It’s not about making money,” he said, “it’s about fellowship with friends, meeting people and giving to others.” The money raised is used for mission work through the church. “There is always a need greater than us.” Once my apple was purchased, named Best Apple at the fair for the year 2012, I headed into the Jacob Building to see the displays and chat with vendors. Inside displays from area schools feature work from students who are skilled in cosmetology, auto mechanics and more. The photography contest features beautiful pictures taken by individuals of a wide age range and creative eye. Some of my favorite displays were the cake decorating contest, the jellies and jams and the homemade bread entries. The gingham ribbons for the culinary arts entries brought visions of a small town county fair and sweet memories of long ago. The next stop was the Kerr Building to view home items, including quilts, scrapbooks, flowers and more. First was Nancy Larson, creating hats for newborns. Larson was dressed in a long dress and kicked her feet up and relaxed while creating.

The second place winner in the culinary arts category was a puppy dog cake and the Best of Show ribbon went to a canning entry.

Hanging high above the floor was a quilt with a first place ribbon. That prize winner was made by North Knox resident Lee Hoskins. In the background were dozens of women making fabric squares and forming a quilt that was sure to become a treasured heirloom. Behind the Jacob Building was the rabbit and poultry building. This isn’t a place I would usually visit (thanks to my allergies) but the beauty of the old white barn drew me to investigate more closely. The three-story barn, with its peeling paint, was a sight with the beautiful blue sky in the background. One worker Roy Hodge works the Fairview United Methodist Church candy said that the barn was built apple booth at the fair. The church has made the fair treat for using the wood from one of 60 years to raise money for mission work. the old roller coasters from the early 1900s.

Some sit and chat with one another while others host demonstrations or whittle the day away. As I headed back down the midway on my way out, I heard the clacking of one of the rides in the distance. I turned and saw four women laughing and enjoying the day as they went round and round on a smaller Marvin Devault whittles coaster.

Belly dancing for good health Low-impact exercise for any age

By Theresa Edwards

elly dancing offers a beautiful way to celebrate your life – no matter your lifestyle, body type or age. Since it is low-impact exercise and easy on the joints, even seniors enjoy the simple, natural, rhythmic movements. Belly dance instructor Alexia explains how the movements exercise the core muscles, isolating precise muscle groups. “It really improves your posture when you learn this art form,” Alexia said. “We also do a lot of arm and shoulder movements, which do not get exercised often. We also move our torso and hips. It is great for fun and fitness.” “The dancing increases women’s selfconfidence. It helps as they gain selfawareness,” Alexia says. “It is also a wonderful stress-reliever, where you can forget about any worries of the day and just enjoy yourself.” After students learn the basic movements, Alexia steps it up for aerobic danc-

Belly dance instructor Debka leads the Oasis Dancers. ing. Her classes range from beginning to advanced. Costumes add to the fun, but beginners are welcome to borrow Alexia’s hip scarves during classes. Class information is online at www.alexia-dance.com. Another professional belly dance instructor is Debka who leads the Oasis Dancers in Knoxville. “The very smooth movements keep the spine very supple,

help with posture and tone you up – your arms, back, legs, hips – but without impact,” she said. Shimmy ing is a spec i f ic movement of belly dancing which is aerobic in nature, but also has certain other health benefits from the vibrations. “The vibrations wake up the osteoblasts which help build up bones,” Debka said. This functions similarly to certain movements she teaches in her Feldenkrais class “Bones for Life.” Contact information and DVDs on belly dancing and the Feldenkrais method are on Debka’s website at www.wellmats. net. Especially for seniors, belly dance classes are also available at the Strang Senior Center at 109 Lovell Heights Road at 2:30 p.m. Mondays.

Joni Edwards nears the end of the race

By Theresa Edwards “It’s the agony and the joy of the finish line,” said Felon Wilson who helped with the race. “That is the expression you see on their faces as they finish.” Jeremy Sexton came in first, looking at his watch to see his time. His joy of triumph was immediate, followed by the agony, drenched in sweat, as he took time to recover and catch his breath enough to talk. Dr. Robert Lembersky of Children’s Anesthesia had a team of 12 running. “It’s just great being out here with your colleagues,” he said. He felt good with a time of 23:39, better than his personal best 10 years ago of 24:09. “I beat myself by a decade and a few seconds, so I’m really happy about it,” he said. Susan Lembersky directed this 18th West Hills run. “The last few years, we added the one-mile walk to get more people in the community out, exercising in our park. We like to see everybody getting out and joining us for a good time,” she said. “The proceeds go to improvements in the park, whatever is needed,” she said. For race results, visit www.ktc.org.

The Myers family runs the race together, finishing at 33:32. Shown are mom Debbie, Joshua, Jocelyn and Jessica. “My husband, Dan, is behind us,” Debbie said. “We took turns pushing the stroller.” They run as part of the Children’s Anesthesia team.

Jeremy Sexton races first across the finish line with a time of 18:38. He has tunnel vision and is hard of hearing, but that doesn’t stop him. “I just stayed behind the first guy until the last mile, then passed him up to finish first,” he said. Photos by T. Edwards of TEPHOTOS.com

Four mornings a week, she’s out of bed by 4:20 a.m. and reporting to work at 4:45. Her clients include young-ish former athletes, busy professionals, ambitious grandparents, each of whom has an exercise and nutrition plan tailored to his/her needs and interests. “Some people want to lose weight, some want a faster time in a particular race, some just want to jog,” said Operation Boot Camp instructor Lindsay Hammill. “Campers can be anybody who’s capable of setting goals. If they can set a goal, we can work with them. We’ve worked with former NFL athletes, people

started building a career, first in Washington D.C. and then in Knoxville when she and her husband moved back home. That was when she got acquainted with a fitness and nutrition program called Operation Boot Camp after she met franchise owner Kellie Vogel at a Young Professionals meet-and-greet. “I heard what she was saying, and thought, ‘I want to do that!’ That was August 2007, and I got in there and haven’t left since. When I started out as a boot camper, I couldn’t run a mile. Little by little, I kept working hard, became an instructor and started getting into racing. I’ve now done nine half-marathons, one Olympic distance triathlon and four or five sprint marathons.” Her father died in March 2011 and her marriage ended in April, around the time she decided to start training for triathlons. She’d mastered running and general fitness, but needed to work on swimming and biking. “I put a status on Face-

book, ‘Does anybody have a road bike I can borrow? I want to get into triathlons.’ People were asking, ‘Do you swim?’ ‘Nope.’ I borrowed a bike and hired a swimming coach (Eric Bell), who probably wondered what he was getting into when he asked me, ‘Lindsay, what side do you breathe on? ‘ I said ‘I don’t know.’ He said, ‘Man, I’m not charging you enough!’ “Triathlon training paralleled my personal life,” she said. “I had to concentrate on one stroke at a time, just like I had to take each day minute by minute. It was the hardest year of my life, and training was the hardest physical thing I’d ever done, but it helped me be tougher mentally and spiritually. I had a great team of people to train with, including Kellie and my boss Michael Carroll, who wouldn’t let me not get up and not train. The first step for me was the simple act of getting out of bed and knowing there were people depending on me. I didn’t want to let them down. It kept

What Every Man Over 40 Should Ask His Doctor Annual physicals may not be at the top of every manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to-do list, but these visits are crucial for longevity -- especially for those men over 40. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no better time than your check-up to have all your looming health questions answered. Make the most of your next visit by composing a checklist of things youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to talk about during your appointment. No matter how healthy you feel, there are some discussion points youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll definitely want to cover:

Prostate Cancer Screening Prostate cancer is the

most common non-skin cancer in America, affecting one in six men, according to the Prostate Cancer Foundation. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a man over 40, there are several major risk factors that you need to know about. If you are African-American, or have a family history of prostate cancer, talk to your doctor about your prostate health, beginning at age 40. The older you are, the more likely you are to be diagnosed with this potentially life-threatening illness, but that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean younger men are not also diagnosed. In fact, one in every 38 men

aged 40 to 59 is diagnosed with prostate cancer. Talk to your doctor about when you should begin screenings and how you can lower your risk of diagnosis. Be proactive! Visit the Prostate Cancer Foundation website at www.PCF.org for more information on risk factors, and to access a list of prevention tips.

Your Heartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Health According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, heart disease causes more than one in four deaths of men in the United States. To get an accurate gauge of your risk, be honest with

your doctor. He or she canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t advise you properly if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t share all the facts on your habits -- good and bad. Have your blood pressure and cholesterol tested at recommended intervals. Ask your doctor if your levels are normal and what you can do if they arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t currently get regular physical activity, your doctor can advise you on safely easing into an exercise program.

Diabetes Risk Many people have the misconception that if something is wrong; their bodies will let them know. But diabetes often begins

without symptoms. Your risk factor for developing diabetes goes up if you are overweight, have high blood pressure, or a family history of the disease. Ask your doctor if you need to be screened. In the meantime, lower your risk for diabetes by maintaining a healthy weight. Your doctor is a great resource for help-

ing you form an effective weight management plan. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vital for men to manage their risks for life-threatening diseases like prostate cancer, and one of the best ways to do that is with regular visits to the doctor. If itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been over a year since your last appointment, call today to schedule a visit. â&#x20AC;&#x201C;StatePoint

Taking time for fitness this fall With the lazy days of summer behind us, many people look to the fall season as the perfect time to get in shape and back into the right wellness regimen. Few people know the benefits of capitalizing on the autumn season as a fresh start better than Beverly Hills-based personal trainer Gunnar Peterson. For more than 20 years, Peterson has helped clients ranging from celebrities, professional athletes and everyday people to push boundaries to improve their health. There is no better time than now to get started, explains Peterson. All it takes is a simple commitment to better living. Check out these simple steps for getting the most out

of your workout: Fuel up: Nutrition is an important part of any workout. In order to have ample energy, consume a small meal, such as two daily servings of fruits or vegetables, at least 90 minutes before you train. Also make sure to eat a high-protein snack within 30 minutes following your exercise to refuel and rebuild. Take time to recover: Reward yourself after an intense fitness session by getting a massage once ev-

ery two weeks. Not only will you feel great, but it will reduce lactic acid build up and increase blood flow. To save on costs, ask a friend or partner. Your mind and

provide the right motivation. Your old gear might be worn out and not up to the task. Proper training equipment can make or break your workout routine; it’s not just about fashion. Mix it up: Switching up your fitness routine is a great way to maximize your workout and stay motivated. For example, combine resistance training with cardio and mix up the order week by week. Start by doing resistance training before your cardio for one week, then switch it up, doing cardio first followed by resistance training. Follow this pattern week by week for at least four weeks and your body will respond to the change-up. –ARA
