A veteran Knox County Schools educator says Copper Ridge Elementary School 1st-grade teacher Natasha Patchen is “the most creative and organized teacher I have ever seen.” But the description goes beyond organized in the sense of use of classroom space, and Patchen’s creativity is quickly apparent.

Next year is now for UT hoops Good teams are gathering for the peak of this exciting basketball season. Tennessee, not being one of them, is pondering “next year.” Cuonzo Martin is on the clock. He must know NIT one and done is unacceptable. Too much is invested for a 20-13 return – big building, rich recruiting budget, $$$ checks to coaches.

Keeping marble history alive While the Ross and Mead’s marble quarries have found new life as a recreation area, Ijams Nature Center executive director Paul James doesn’t want to lose their history. The cabins that housed the men who worked there are long gone, and their stories will be, too, if family members don’t share them, he says. Ijams is hosting a show-andtell session from 1-4 p.m. Saturday, April 6. Read ShopperNews writer Wendy Smith’s interview with James online in this week’s Bearden edition.

When Foster Arnett Jr. was elected Knox County Clerk, he had no way of knowing that his life was about to turn upside-down. In a short time following his election, Arnett and his wife, Dottie, lost all four of their parents, Dottie was diagnosed with stage two breast cancer, and Arnett underwent three surgeries for bleeding ulcers. At the Halls Business and Professional Association Prayer Breakfast on March 29, he shared the story of his family’s struggles and the

faith that saw them through it all. “Without our faith, our church home and our family and the true love of God, we wouldn’t have made it through,” he said. Now, Arnett is in good health and Dottie is cancer-free. Arnett attributes their recoveries to God as well. “I think (Easter) to me means a new beginning,” said Arnett. “What a gift we receive, a gift nobody in this room deserves. How can any of us doubt the presence of God in our lives?” The Prayer Breakfast was held at Beaver Dam Baptist Church. Music was provided by soloist Craig Wagoner and pianist Anne

No Knox in TDS phone books By Jake Mabe Leann Berry called the Shopper office last week to report that the 2013 Halls edition of the TDS telephone book does not contain Knoxville residential listings. Berry says that her mother, Mae, and other senior citizens use the book as a primary source because they do not have computers or Internet access at home. Some

residents may be homebound. She also questioned why the book would contain residential listings for Sevier County and White Pine and not Knoxville, which includes residents who live outside the city limits in Halls and “neighbors” in nearby Gibbs, Corryton and Fountain City with Knoxville listings. The book does include Knoxville business and government listings.

“And another reason it bothers me is because my daddy (the late B.F. Dalton) was one of the people who helped start the (Halls) telephone company.” Berry contacted a TDS representative in New York, who said the decision not to include Knoxville residential listings this year was “a corporate one.” TDS Telecommunications associate manager for public relations Cindy Tomlinson said the decision “was made based on a number of

factors, including cost and the recommendation of our publisher. “Our online phone directory (tdsyellowpages.com) does include the Knoxville community. “And, at the beginning of the Knoxville business white pages, we’ve included a note that invites customers to refer to this site. “Before printing the 2014 directories, we will re-evaluate our decision, so there’s a chance Knoxville could be included again next year.”

Duncan School of Law battles on By Sandra Clark Lincoln Memorial University’s Duncan School of Law opened with great promise, but now it’s fighting for its life.

Analysis With enrollment underway for the Class of 2016, students and staff await a decision on accreditation by the American Bar Association, a decision that may not come until year’s end. Pessimists worry. Without accreditation, graduates who pass the state bar exam can practice law only in Tennessee. Optimists don’t. The ABA’s accreditation committee was in town March 17-20, touring the campus (the Historic City Hall on Henley Street downtown), talking with students and meeting with mem-

bers of the bar. The Tennessee Bar Association gave a boost, saluting the school for pro bono work in excess of 5,165 hours by 84 students assisted by faculty. And the optimists are counting on the credibility of the interim dean, the legendary Parham Williams. With a degree from Yale School of Law, Williams has 35 years of experience having served as a professor and dean at Chapman University School of Law, Samford University’s Cumberland School of Law, and the University of Mississippi School of Law. He has chaired or served on many ABA site inspection teams. LMU president B. James Dawson has said Williams “will play the crucial role of guiding (the school) through American Bar Association accreditation. We could

Fun, cute things on Broadway I like supporting local businesses. The money stays here and helps families here, instead of funding some distant CEO’s third vacation home.

Libby Morgan So here are unapologetic endorsements of three relatively new places in Fountain City where brave souls have taken the risk and are working to make a living, and maybe turn a profit. Minnie Hall grew up in Corryton as one of nine Massengile siblings. She and her husband, Greg, a construction contractor, moved back home from

Texas when Greg’s mother’s health concerned them. But Minnie’s mother died, suddenly, six months after they returned. “I’m so thankful I got to be with her before she was gone,” says Minnie. Minnie decided to go ahead and open the business she had always dreamed about. She hung her sign for Minnie’s Shabby Chiq Boutique (hey, if boutique is spelled with a “Q,” then why not “chiq”?) on Broadway just south of I-640 across from Kmart last November. “I saw this building’s big windows, and knew it was just the place for the business.” Her daughter, Rachel Keal, sister Liz Stanley, and her husband all help out at the store, which special-

We’re very optimistic about this spring.” Well-known to some, totally missed by most, Wendy Smith’s Southern Stitching and Design has been a bit hidden in Halls since opening two years ago. Now the business is front and center, on the other side of Black Oak Ridge at 5618 North Broadway, at the corner of Harvey.

“I know I must provide excellent customer service to compete, but I really enjoy going the extra mile for my customers.” Shonnie Brown and Melissa Nitz met in grooming school, both with the dream of starting a business. They hit it off as friends, found their philosophies about providing dog and cat grooming services meshed and opened Rub A Dub Doggie Spa in Fountain City Business Park last year. The pair agrees that shop cleanliness is a priority, and it looks and smells clean when you enter. They also both feel strongly about keeping a calm setting for the animals, and getting their four-legged customers finished and ready to go home as quickly as possible. “Most of our dogs are ready in a couple of hours, but if their owners must leave them for the day, we make sure they’re happy while they wait,” says Brown. “They are never stuck in a room without windows. They’re right here with us, where we can talk to them and they can see us.” “And we keep our appointments to a minimum—this means we don’t have a lot of animals creating chaos with each other, we can concentrate on one animal at a time and finish each one sooner,” adds Nitz. “We’re keeping our prices as reasonable as we can, and we want to expand and open a self-serve bathing area sometime soon.” To find Rub A Dub, look for the green awning in the business park across Tazewell Pike from Cici’s Pizza. It’s great to see independent businesses succeed.

‘Growing Up Country’ Sonny Mullins will tell you that losing his brother, Jim, in 2009 is the worst thing he has ever gone through. The second worst thing was sitting through the trial of the couple who were ultimately convicted of killing his brother. The Christ United Methodist Church youth collected stuffed animals to deliver to Knox County Juvenile Court Judge Tim Irwin. Irwin hands out the stuffed animals to children and youth who have been abused or neglected. Pictured are Gabe Massey, Madasun Loy, Gabe Hayes, Christ UMC associate pastor Charla Sherbakoff, Irwin, Austin Fields, Zach Hayes and Noah Hayes. Photo submitted

MY TWO CENTS Keep in mind that Sonny spent a tour of duty in Vietnam. Doesn’t matter. This was family. This was his brother, his best friend. They spent part of their mornings together “365 days a year,” Sonny says, scanning the headlines, telling stories, drinking coffee. “Jim was the family historian,” Sonny told the Open Door Book Review at the Fountain City Branch Library last week. “Not in the genealogical sense, but through the stories he passed down. Jim loved the old-time tales, country garden ideas and family stories. When I lost Jim, I felt like I lost some of my heritage.” Unable to sleep in the weeks after Jim’s murder,

Sonny had time to think. During moments of quiet contemplation, he decided to write a book. “Growing Up Country” tells some of Jim’s stories, as well as Sonny’s memories of his childhood in Hancock County, circa the 1950s and early 1960s. He never will forget the first time he and Jim first saw an indoor bathroom, at Sneedville Elementary School. “If you can fall in love with a bathroom, Jim and I did.” Their toilet at home was a “two-hole” outhouse at the edge of a creek. “You had to check for copperhead snakes.” Sonny says that Jim decided the family had to have an indoor bathroom. He got the

bright idea to push the outhouse into the creek. Their daddy had a temper, but Jim figured he’d do the deed right before jumping on the bus for school. Surely, by late afternoon, their daddy’s red-hot temper would be cooled. “Dad was waiting out front holding a belt in his hand. He was like (B-western movie star) Lash LaRue with that belt, and he was one-handed.” Jim fessed up to the deed, but told his dad he thought telling the truth was the right thing to do, like when George Washington admitted to chopping down the cherry tree. “Dad said, ‘Son, the difference is when George Washington chopped down that cherry tree, his grandmother

fession. Low-cost, high-tech legal education is anathema to the ABA, they say. Plus, law school enrollment is down across the country. And who needs more lawyers, anyway? The ABA has denied accreditation once. DeBusk and Beckman responded by suing. That lawsuit was settled and the ABA is now dealing with Parham Wil-

liams. Will that be enough? We’ll know by year’s end. Meanwhile, this optimist says, “come on down.” The school has a solid faculty, convenient hours (you can hold a full-time job while attending) and a fair price. Duncan School of Law is a boost to downtown and to working adults who want to better themselves. Let’s make it work!

He likes meeting new people, especially those who have ties to the people and places in his book. He’s writing a second one, tentatively titled “Days Gone By,” but says he isn’t as motivated as he was after Jim’s death. But former “Heartland Series” host Bill Landry recently gave him some advice. “Never let the truth get in

the way of a good story.” “I may be using some of Landry’s sage advice (in the book),” Sonny says. “I’ll leave that for you to decide.” “Growing Up Country” is available by sending $15 (hardback) or $10 (paperback) to Sonny Mullins, 10011 Rutledge Pike, Corryton, TN 37721. ■

government Rogero endorses Pavlis Mayor Rogero will lead observances on April 9 at the Ross Building on Western Avenue celebrating National Community Service Day in Knoxville as it is celebrated across the USA. More than 400 cities across the country will participate in honoring the volunteer work of thousands of Americans since the National Corporation for Public Service was created in the mid-1990s at President Clinton’s initiative. I was privileged to serve on the first board by appointment of the President and confirmation by the U.S. Senate. ■ Barbara Monty will retire from Knox County’s Community Action Committee after 45 distinguished years and be honored Monty with a reception from 4-6 p.m. Tuesday, April 16, also at the Ross Building on Western Avenue. Public is invited. ■ Ann Baker Furrow Boulevard will be dedicated at 1 p.m. Saturday, April 13. It is located in the new UT Sorority Village Center. Furrow was the first woman to serve on the UT Board of Trustees, appointed by Gov. Winfield Dunn in the early 1970s. UT will host a reception afterwards. ■ Mayor Rogero broke new ground for city mayors when she publicly endorsed the re-election of Nick Pavlis to city council. He Pavlis is the vice mayor by vote of council. She did it at a recent Pavlis fundraiser. Pavlis is currently unopposed, as are the other four council members whose terms expire in December. She told the attendees that she favored Pavlis’ re-election. (This writer also attended this reception and made a donation to the Pavlis campaign, as I favor his re-election too.) However, incumbent mayors usually do not openly endorse council candidates. There are several reasons for this. One reason is while Pavlis is appreciative of

Victor Ashe

the mayoral nod, the other eight councilmembers must wonder if they too will receive a mayoral endorsement. If not, why not? What will be the standard Rogero will employ on whether to endorse Brown, Palmer, Della Volpe and Grieve who are also running this year? Rogero and Della Volpe have had several pointed email exchanges recently. Brown plans a fundraiser reception in a few weeks. The question here is not the endorsement of Pavlis, who is widely applauded, but whether the mayor should endorse a council candidate at all, and what it means beyond the single endorsement. Will she endorse the other four councilmembers running in two years when she too will be on the ballot? When she ran in 2011, she studiously avoided endorsing those candidates. Also, if the challenger should win over the mayor’s endorsement, it weakens the political clout of the mayor as occurred when Kyle Testerman tried but failed to defeat Jean Teague for city council 32 years ago. Rogero is enthused about Vice Mayor Pavlis as they work as closely together as I worked with then-Vice Mayor Jack Sharp. Perhaps she did not consider these issues and just wanted to do it. Rogero has a right to endorse whoever she wants. But is it wise when it comes to local offices? Does it set a precedent which may later come back to haunt her? There are other ways to support your preferred candidate short of a public endorsement. ■ President Obama renominated Marilyn Brown on March 21 to the TVA board of directors after she was blocked in January by Sens. Alexander and Corker. Her chances of being confirmed to a second term can be rated as slim to none. The board will continue with one vacancy. Even the Georgia senators where she lives in Atlanta are not pushing her nomination.

Nashville ‘know-it-alls’ strike again Richard Briggs, already up and running against state Sen. Stacey Campfield in 2014, has coined a phrase voters are going to hear a lot in that campaign – “knowit-alls in Nashville”– referring to legislators who claim to be advocates of small government while shoving burdensome laws down the throats of local governments. Now Briggs can add a new arrow to his quiver – a law requiring local school districts (called local education agencies or LEAs in Nashville) to allow homeschooled students to participate in school-sponsored interscholastic athletics. Prompted by complaints from a family in Williamson County, its sponsors are from Knox County. Campfield is the Senate sponsor, but it’s House sponsor Roger Kane whose rhetorical bombs are causing homefolks’ jaws to clench and teeth to grind. While presenting his bill in the House education subcommittee, Kane accused

Betty Bean the Knox County Board of Education of dealing with home-school students in “an arbitrary and capricious” manner after the TSSAA changed its bylaws in 2011 to permit home-schoolers to participate in athletics, but said LEAs could opt out. The Campfield/Kane bill makes it mandatory. The bill sailed through the Senate, but Kane got pushback from a couple of members who told him that they didn’t want the state meddling with their counties. He then took a broad swipe at LEAs, specifically accusing Knox County of causing home schoolers to miss TSSAA’s registration deadline. School board member Thomas Deakins initially opposed the rule change, but then worked with the TSSAA and the Tennes-

see School Board Association (of which he is a board member) to allow home schoolers to participate. He has questions about enforcing discipline and academic qualifications under the new law and says Kane misstated the situation. “Our board put a policy together that allowed (sports participation) as long as they met the same qualifications as other athletes and didn’t displace another athlete,” he said. Supporters of the Kane/ Campfield law are happy that LEAs will no longer be allowed to charge home schoolers additional fees, on the theory that their families already pay taxes. School board chair Karen Carson says they’re ignoring the fact that school funding is based on average daily attendance (ADA), and home schoolers aren’t counted. “What I am against is if you do not enroll in Knox County schools, we do not get funding. If a homeschooled student enrolls in sports, how is that fair?”

Since the policy change in 2011, five home-schooled students have signed up to participate in school athletics in Knox County. McMinn County Republican John Forgety, a former schools superintendent who holds a doctorate in education, said Kane’s bill is unnecessary meddling. “I have a great deal of heartburn with mandating anything for a local school board.” TSSAA general counsel Rick Colbert resisted pressure from Rep. Harry Brooks, who wanted him to agree that the new bill merely replaces “may” with “shall.” “This bill does more than just say follow the TSSAA rule,” he said… “If those kinds of things are put in statute, there will be no exceptions. … I believe it would be bad policy for the state to try to legislate it.” “Perhaps we ought to file a bill doing away with LEAs, the way we’re going,” said Clarksville Democrat Joe Pitts.

Haslam can’t win on Medicaid “Wow!” I thought last Wednesday. Within a 30-minute interval, I was yelled at by two very different people about the same issue. Both were upset that Gov. Bill Haslam had announced earlier that day his decision not to recommend Tennessee take federal dollars to expand Medicaid.

treatments, there will be an insatiable demand for health care. How to pay? By rationing. How to ration? By ability to pay. Haslam misstepped when he suggested using federal funds to buy insurance for poor people. All of you who think our friends the insurance com-

panies will save health care money (except by rationing), raise your hand. Funding health care is tough. Escalating costs have pressured businesses into higher and higher deductibles and put U.S. industries at competitive disadvantage with overseas firms. Perhaps that’s why the state’s organized business community through

the Chamber of Commerce united with liberals to urge Haslam to sign on to Obamacare. Unpaid emergency room bills from uninsured patients continue to drive up costs. Doctors are hurting. The smartest kids are not applying for medical school. Haslam was correct in calling our current system “unsustainable.”

Sandra Clark

Whoever thought Haslam would sign on to Obamacare just doesn’t know our governor, who bravely made a nowin decision. One of my liberal friends said, “People will die!” before hanging up on me. A more conservative friend wondered how Haslam could turn his back on “all of those rural hospitals” which Mayor Tim Burchett fist bumps with county Commissioner Jeff Ownby during a reception may be forced to close. at the Goodwill Industries ribbon cutting.

A trip to the Low Country NATURE NOTES | Dr. Bob Collier

When you grow up within sight of the Great Smoky Mountains and you’re an outdoor person, I suppose it’s only natural to assume that “being outside” conjures up images of cool high elevations, rushing clear streams with clean gravelly bottoms, tall poplar and evergreen trees growing up from dense rhododendron thickets, and hiking trails that go either uphill or downhill most of the time. It turns out that there is other outdoors out there, some of them a lot different from the environs in our neck of the woods. In fact, there are places where “high” means one or two feet above sea level, where the rivers and streams have water the color of tea and the currents f low slowly back and forth, rising and falling twice a day. The groves of tall straight pine trees grow on land as f lat as a tabletop, a dense undergrowth of palmettos at their feet, between miles of grass-filled salt marsh. Other trees, the massive, gnarled old live oaks, stand on higher ground, embellished with ferns and Spanish moss. This is the strange land that you encounter all along the coasts of South Carolina and Georgia, from the beaches inland for 30 miles or so. It’s the Low Country. Armadillos and alligators,

snakes and mosquitoes, what more could an outdoor person want? Well now, the first day of spring was scheduled for March 20, and the meteorologist was calling for snow. Grandma and I decided we needed to be somewhere farther south, and hopefully some place with a lot of birds already there, not just to be expected in a month or so. We had already wanted to add some more birds to our Georgia list. And so, we decided. The middle of March, the state of Georgia, lots of birds, an easy day’s drive. We headed for the Low Country, and Jekyll Island seemed to be the right destination. The barrier islands along the coast of Georgia – Tybee, Ossabow, St. Simons, Jekyll, Cumberland and others – are different from the long, narrow ribbons of sand we’re used to visiting along North Carolina’s Outer Banks. On the coast of Georgia, because of the shape of the coastline and the work of the wind and tides, the barrier islands are plump, wider, higher affairs, with well-established maritime forests of live oak, pine and palmettos.

The Low Country is a land of water. The gentle two-foot tides of the Outer Banks are replaced here by big six- to eight-foot tides. The boat docks you see with many steps up and down to their landings attest to the significant twice-daily water level changes. Eight major rivers flow into the ocean in the 100 miles between Savannah and the Florida line, plus sounds, creeks and marshlands without number. The early colonials depended on the waterways for their transportation, at least as far inland as they could navigate. After the Native Americans, the Spanish and the British came and went, those hardy early colonials established homes in the Low Country, and built large rice plantations there in a land that I would have considered uninhabitable before the days of air conditioning and window screens. And I recalled that the folks in Boston and Philadelphia could only harvest the oak trees for sailing vessels from those islands in the winter because not even the toughest crew of timber cutters could tolerate

the snakes, bugs, alligators and deadly fevers of the Low Country summers. But early spring is really nice. There’s not a lot going on, tourist wise. About the only people around are the locals, some indoortype snowbirds, and the fishermen and birders. Which brings us to the birds. The ocean, beaches, woods and ponds and marshes give you a variety of places to look. And there are some great human-made places as well. Several wildlife refuges have been developed using the ponds and dikes from the old rice plantations. On one of those ponds we saw hundreds of nesting wood storks and scores of yellow-crowned and black-crowned night herons. And big alligators. All that added up to a marvelous three days of dawn-to-dark birding, and a list of 111 species for the trip. Some were excit-

Brown pelican

ing single sightings: one glossy ibis f lying over, a yellow-throated warbler in the Spanish moss, a little chicken-like sora rail skulking through the marsh grass. We found a plump little long-distance migrating shorebird called a red knot hunkered down among a f lock of other species as if trying to keep a low profile and avoid any publicity. There were some “Oh wow!” moments, like seeing 20 white pelicans soaring high over the marsh in the morning sun, just as a bald eagle f lew across the sky in front of them. And then there were the scenes that I like to call “the way Nature was intended to be” moments, where the abundance of life is just too much to count. We stood and watched 1,000 little sandpipers and plovers feeding on a mud f lat at low tide. Suddenly, they would all swirl into the

sky and sweep around like a single huge organism, and then calmly settle back down and begin feeding again as if nothing had happened. Out on the beach, the scene repeated itself, only bigger and noisier. Out there, the gulls and terns, black skimmers and oystercatchers were hanging out. They did the resting and swirling thing, too, with a lot more squawking and calling. You just won’t see birds like that in the Smokies. It’s like being at Disney World for birdwatchers. Given a little space, nature produces beautiful things in numbers and varieties beyond our imaginations. A few days at the right times and in the right places could convince even the most committed indoor person of the truth and wonder of that. When it stops snowing, we’ll be on the road again.

Take good care of your money.

Next year is now for baskets Good teams are gathering for the peak of this exciting basketball season. Tennessee, not being one of them, is pondering “next year.” Cuonzo Martin is on the clock. He must know NIT one and done is unacceptable. Too much is invested for a 20-13 return – big building, rich recruiting budget, $$$ checks to coaches. Nobody expects the Volunteers to win the national championship. They’ve been playing for 114 years without ever reaching the Final Four but they do need to go in that general direction. The university cannot afford mediocrity. Basketball must succeed and look good doing it. Empty seats at Thompson-Boling are a very bad omen. Do not blame the customers. Attendance was better than the team. Orange was ugly at times.

Marvin West

“Next year” is crucial for Cuonzo. He is not a circus barker or slick seller of snake oil. He does not talk a good game but I still think he has the potential to be a star – if, if, if. Improvement starts with keeping NBA dreamers from making a mistake. Getting Jeronne Maymon back on the court would be a boost. Recruiting people who can play would be encouraging. It appears adjustments are waiting to be made. Solving the point guard problem would make Martin’s motion offense better. Some of us believe it is best

to get the ball inside now and then. It would be good to have more assists than turnovers. The coach could improve his chances against zone defenses. Most teams use dribble penetration and passes to the post. Tennessee plays bombs away. If perimeter shooters connect, they discourage zones. If they miss, the zone wins. (See Alabama tape). Wouldn’t it be great if Coach could teach his guards to guard quick guards? Teaching speed is difficult. Perhaps the focus might be on improving technique. Dare we mention defense? Cuonzo’s reputation is rooted in defense. His key strategy is effort. Statistics create suspicion. Tennessee ranked 114 in the country at preventing field goals. It was 339 in steals. Lack of quickness? Could be. Thousands of UT fans who

April Fool! At the crack of dawn on Sunday, the women came to the tomb carrying the burial spices they had prepared. They found the entrance stone rolled back from the tomb, so they walked in. But once inside, they couldn’t find the body of the Master Jesus. They were puzzled, wondering what to make of this. (Luke 24: 1-4a The Message) This is strange and dangerous ground, I realize. It is April Fool’s Day, which seems a frivolous way to celebrate the second day of Eastertide! Until one considers that Death is the one who was fooled! I have a “surrational” picture on my office wall. It was given to me by a dear friend, someone who understood the role of the deacon better than most of the average

folks in the pew. Let me explain. Historically, the deacon’s role is servant ministry. In the earliest days of the church, the deacons waited tables: they served the hungry congregation. Nowadays, we frequently say that a deacon stands at the door of the Church: one foot in the world and one foot in the sanctuary. Deacons today serve in extension ministries; we work in

Cross Currents

Lynn Hutton

churches, yes, but also in hospitals and schools and social service agencies and missions. People frequently look at my “surrational” picture and ask, “What am I seeing here?” That is because at the top of the picture, it appears to be a city street full of cars, with tall buildings on either side of the street. However, if one lets one’s eye travel down the picture, suddenly the street becomes an aisle in a church, and the buildings look like church pews. It is a little disconcerting.

respect the coach as a standup guy, a role model and rock-solid mentor of young men appreciate the leadership he offers. He apparently follows the rules and seems highly unlikely to embarrass the establishment. That isn’t quite enough to compensate for losing home and away to Georgia. That does not explain scoring 37 and 38 in back-to-back losses at Georgetown and Virginia. Inexplicable January slumps by Trae Golden and Jarnell Stokes were major factors in the 3-6 start in the Southeastern Conference race. The Vols were on the edge of awful when their overall record was 11-10. They recovered. Martin changed his lineup and picked up the pace. Jordan McRae turned into a remarkable scorer. Stokes became a double-double machine after the coach filed a formal complaint about SEC officiating. The Vols won eight of nine. They were combative on the road. They outrebounded

most foes. They killed Kentucky by 30. They upset Florida. They gutted out four overtimes at Texas A&M. They never played beautiful basketball but they were generally tough. Alas, they did not finish. The late loss at Georgia was terminal. They bounced back with a thriller over Missouri. They were dull again in the SEC tournament loss to Alabama. Hearts were broken when they were ignored by NCAA selectors. They didn’t show much zip against Mercer. Here is where Cuonzo stands: A coach in the big leagues must field a team that draws a crowd. Apathy is fatal. He must compete for conference crowns. He must resist violations. Tennessee, with all its resources, really should appear in the NCAA tournament. Cruel world, isn’t it. You are part of the buzz or you start early on “next year.”

That picture makes this deacon happy because the church and the world are integrated into one thing. But recently I found another of Scott Mutter’s surrational pictures that gave me one of those true “Aha!” moments. It is titled “The Grave.” It is a photograph of a mausoleum in a cemetery. The beholder can clearly see the other tombstones and the grass around the mausoleum. Then, the viewer realizes that the entrance to the vault is not the usual heavy wooden door with a lock and bolt. It is a revolving glass door. When I realized what I was seeing, I smiled. Then I laughed out loud. “There it is!” I thought. “That is the Easter miracle in a single picture!” We, like the disciples

and the women, think of death as the end. Even when we say we believe in an afterlife, we mourn our dead as if we will never see them again. Our grief, our loss, is real, and we cannot fully imagine what lies on the other shore. But here is the wonderful, awesome, fantastic, almost-unbelievable truth: Jesus, the crucified Christ, turned a huge stone into a revolving door and walked out of the tomb on Easter morning, alive forevermore. And no grave will ever again hold sway over Him, or over those who believe in Him. So who is the April Fool? That would be Death, who has lost all his power, and holds sway over absolutely nothing. Christ is alive! Alleluia! Happy Easter!

News from SOS Liz Thacker, site resource coordinator of the community school at Norwood Elementary School in north Knox County, recently provided information about the program. What is the focus? Strengthening academics for students likely to benefit from extra instruction is the primary emphasis. Working in small groups, community school students receive assignments a week before they are presented to the whole class. They then become class leaders and teach other students the lesson, thus reinforcing the material and boosting their confidence. Financial need is another criterion for acceptance into the program. Describe a typical afternoon. Academics are covered from 3–4:30 p.m., after which about half the students leave. Those who stay have 45 minutes of special activities with volunteers from Pi Beta Phi Sorority and UT’s nutrition department on particular days, along with other activities. Dinner is served at 5:15, and students leave between 5:45 and 6 p.m. Other special services? About 25 students receive mental health services from a Helen Ross McNabb Center professional who comes to the school three days a week. Cardiac Kids, a special exercise program, runs 10 weeks in the fall.

Mission Statement: To improve the quality of life of all those God places in our path by building on our experiences of the past, pursuing our vision for the future and creating caring life-long relationships.

WORSHIP NOTES

By Cindy Taylor Gibbs Elementary School will be closing its Pre-K program when school ends this spring. Fairview Baptist Parent’s Day Out director Monica Warwick is gearing up to fill the resulting need. Warwick came as director for the program last August after 15 years with the Department of Children’s Services. She has a degree in Child Development from UT. She says Fairview plans to hire more teachers if necessary to accommodate the expected increase in numbers. “Some children will be moving up and that will create space in Pre-K,” said Warwick. “We will also open new classrooms if those are needed.” Children’s minister James Waddell oversees the program. “My title is just a formality,” said Waddell. “Monica handles the program and does an excellent job.” Laughter could be heard up and down the hallway as children enjoyed their morning craft time.

Food banks ■ Cross Roads Presbyterian hosts the Halls Welfare Ministry food pantry 6-8 p.m. each second Tuesday and 9-11 a.m. each fourth Saturday. ■ Dante Church of God will be distributing Boxes of Blessings (food) on Saturday, April 13, from 9-11 a.m. or until boxes are gone.

Inasmuch is April 13 By Cindy Taylor On Saturday, April 13, 11 churches in Fountain City will work as one through Inasmuch ministry to provide services across the city of Knoxville. Inasmuch United Knoxville is in its eighth year and executive director David Crocker says it should be an outstanding opportunity for churches to minister to their communities as a reflection of God’s love. “Thirty-seven churches throughout Knox County will mobilize more than 3,500 volunteers to serve

thousands of our neighbors in need,” said Crocker. “The exciting thing about this event is that volunteers cross denominational, racial and socioeconomic lines to serve alongside each other.” Churches participating in the north Knox area are Central Baptist Church of Fountain City, Cross Roads Presbyterian, First Baptist Church of Fountain City, Foster Chapel Baptist, Fountain City Presbyterian, Fountain City UMC, Good Shepherd Episcopal, Grace Community, Greenway Baptist, Northside

Christian and Smithwood Baptist. A collection drive for Family Promise will take place until April 10 for the following items: toilet paper, paper towels, detergent, dish soap, trash bags, diapers, family-sized hygiene items and gas gift cards. Donations can be dropped off at any participating church. The name Inasmuch is inspired by this Bible verse, Matthew 25:40: “… Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.”

Shopper-News Presents Miracle Makers

‘The most creative and organized teacher I have ever seen’ By Jake Mabe A veteran Knox County Schools educator says Copper Ridge Elementary School 1st-grade teacher Natasha Patchen is “the most creative and organized teacher I have ever seen.” Patchen laughed when told she was described as being organized and said, “Well, I am, but people don’t always see it. Look at this desk, merciful heavens!” pointing to the various papers and bric-a-brac. “Look around my classroom. There’s stuff all over!” But the description goes beyond organized in the sense of use of classroom space, and Patchen’s creativity is quickly apparent. Within the confines of the curriculum, Patchen exposes her students to artists, to holiday traditions around the world, even to the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race in Alaska. At the mention of the race, Patchen stopped, ran up to a map at the front of the classroom and pointed out the trail. “I’m teaching them social studies and we’re using technology on the web to follow the trail and we’re working on telling time. One student said (of one dog), ‘She’s only one-half mile behind!’” Patchen’s students even held their own version of the race, called the Iditarod Read, in which they took a “dog sled” wagon around the school, stopping in different classrooms, with books in preparation for Accelerated Reading testing. “So we covered reading and covered math with a time-telling test.” Why is all this important? “They (the students) need to stretch and grow. Children are not robots. They are creative individuals with individual needs.” Patchen has visited 49 states and underwent her student teaching in West Germany. “I do like to expose (students) to the world, art and culture, even Navajo fry bread. I do a lot of cooking!” When it snows, a rarity in Knox County anymore, “we rejoice in the snow if we have school. “I have a snow curriculum, in which I tell the students that a snowflake has six points and we read Alaska stories. So you have science, reading and social studies. That’s how I get away with all this fun. I’m very good at tying it all together. That takes experience and this school is filled with wonderful teachers.”

Now in her 20th year of education, Patchen has taught kindergarten, 4th grade, 5th grade and 1st grade. “I prayed I wouldn’t get 1st grade, and when I did my student teaching, I got 1st grade.” Originally from Jamestown, N.Y., Patchen has taught 10 years at Copper Ridge and eight years at Sterchi Elementary. Prior to moving to Knoxville, she taught for two years in Wyoming. She says she did not want to be a teacher and had a miserable experience in school. But after she was first married she taught preschool and thought, “That’s not so bad.” At the University of Wyoming, mentors were telling her, “You’re a natural.” (A professor there showed

slides during a presentation on undergoing student teaching in Germany. That’s how she landed there.) “I went where I was led. I believe God leads you places.” She knows it is a cliché, but Patchen says she loves the sweet moments when the “light bulb” goes off in a student’s mind. “And it goes off often.” One student came to Patchen the other day holding a recently-read book. “I knew from the look on the face that the student had really read it.” Patchen also takes her students on the school’s nature trail. She says seeing them “fi lled with wonder” at the world around them keeps her young. “I have great classes, great kids and great parental support. When I go ask (my colleagues) if I can go run

through the school with 16 children and a wagon and book bags, they say, ‘Sure, Patchen, come disrupt class!’ But they know exactly what time we’re coming by and what we’re going to do.” She says 1st-grade students are expected to add and subtract easily when they leave her classroom for the year, read at a 1st-grade level and write four or five sentences that connect together. The biggest challenge? “Knowing nouns, verbs, adjectives, knowing how to write a paragraph. We have to write a research paper. And the math skills they have to know would make your jaw drop.” During the Iditarod race unit, several students went home and followed the race on their computers. “So, the learning is carrying on!” Patchen says with a smile.

Bringing it home: Marketing association honors Townes Lavidge Osborn

By Sherri Gardner Howell The

Knoxville Chapter of the A merican Marketing Association (K AMA) will honor one of its own as Outstanding MarketOsborn ing Professional on April 11, but any who think it is a token award based simply on service to the chapter would be terribly mistaken. The recipient has already received the national organization’s highest honor as well as an international leadership award. A gala 25th anniversary party on Saturday, April 11, at the Knoxville Museum of Art gives the local organization an opportunity to highlight not only its founder, but an outstanding marketing professional: Townes Lavidge Osborn. When Osborn says marketing is “in her blood,” those in her hometown of Knoxville have only to look at her maiden name to understand. The daughter of Art Lavidge, founder of Lavidge & Associates, joined the family-owned agency in 1983 when she and her children moved back to Knoxville after living and working in Asia, Europe, New York and serving in Washington, D.C., for 11 years as executive director of the National Communications Lobby. She is now president of Lavidge & Associates, an agency whose client list has included several Fortune 500 businesses, such as Coca Cola Fountain NA, Link Belt, Great Lakes Chemical Corp., TVA, Schaad Companies, and a variety of restaurant chains, hotels, tourist attractions, tourist related organizations, residential and commercial development businesses, finan-

Goodwill grows on A great crowd joined Dr. Robert Rosenbaum and the folks at Goodwill Industries for the official opening last week of a new 43,000 square foot facility at 5412 Pleasant Ridge Road.

Sandra Clark

“This store will triple our ability to work with clients and expand the industrial part of our contract to provide training,” said Rosenbaum, Goodwill Industries CEO. Mayor Tim Burchett attended, along with county commissioners and city council members. Mark Field represented the Knoxville Chamber, along with Chamber ambassador Stephen King. Goodwill’s 28th retail store location will be adjacent to the vocational training center, a repurposed Food Lion store. Goodwill Industries has five employment training and rehabilitation centers throughout its 15 county service area.

Employees earn a training wage while learning skills in processing, quality control, packaging and shipping. Goodwil Industries was founded in Boston by a Methodist minister, Edgar James Helms, according to the Goodwill website. It came to Knoxville in 1971 when former Mayor George Dempster donated $10,000 to begin Dempster Memorial Workshop overlooking Gay Street. Stephen Casey was the workshop’s first executive director from 1971-73 until sidelined by a heart attack. Rosenbaum was hired as interim executive director in 1975 as the agency faced bankruptcy. Since that time, the staff has expanded from six or seven to more than 350, while the number of individuals that Goodwill serves has grown from roughly 75 to more than 3,800 in 2011. The budget has grown over the years, from bankruptcy to a budget of more than $13 million in 2012. Robert G. Rosenbaum has exhibited leadership that surely would have made him a millionaire in the private sector. Instead, he’s worked 39 years at Goodwill Industries, creating a legacy that is more enduring.

UT NOTES ■ Karen Lloyd, assistant professor of microbiology, led a study that reveals how microbes called archaea can survive beneath the ocean floor with no oxygen and sunlight. The study, released recently by Nature and revealing that these microscopic life-forms survive by slowly eating tiny bits of protein, has implications for understanding the bare minimum conditions needed to support life. ■ The McClung Museum of Natural History and Culture has won two Awards of Excellence from the 2013 Tennessee Association of Museums (TAM). One award recognized “Zen Buddhism and the Arts of Japan,” an exhibit featured at the museum late last year. The other recognized the film “Continents Collide: The Appalachians and the Himalayas,” created by producer Steve Dean to accompany a temporary exhibit of the same name.

cial services, and consulting companies. She continues to handle High Hampton Inn in Cashiers, N.C., which, since 1953, has been the agency’s longest standing client of record. Her creativity can be seen in numerous campaigns for her clients, including a moniker she promoted for Oak Ridge when hired to help them with tourism marketing. Osborn said she couldn’t figure out how to make a visit to the Atomic City appealing, since atomic energy was controversial, but that a trip to America’s Secret City would be alluring. Thus, Oak Ridge became The Secret City. Osborn was born in Chicago, coming with her family to Knoxville after her father completed graduate school at Northwestern. She graduated from Salem Academy in Winston-Salem and from the University of Tennessee. In the marketing industry, Osborn has received the American Marketing Association’s Lemburg Award, the AMA’s highest honor, and received a special AMA International Leadership Award. She founded the Knoxville Chapter in 1988. During her time as president of the chapter, Osborn initiated the Eagle Endowment for Marketing Education in order to provide scholarships in perpetuity to outstanding marketing students at the University of Tennessee. The Eagle Endowment has grown to $275,000 and to date the Knoxville Chapter has awarded $77,000 in scholarships. She remains its co-executor. Osborn is also president of her family’s LAMP Foundation, whose purpose is to support non-profit programs and projects that benefit society. Her local involvement in the arts and charitable endeavors has included serving on 34 nonprofit boards and chairing 16, including serving as president of the Rotary Club of Knoxville and chair of UT’s Clarence Brown Theatre’s Board. She has received Rotary International’s highest honor, the Service Above Self award and was selected to be an Olympic Torchbearer for “being a person who has inspired so many people.” Internationally, Osborn initiated and chaired what became a huge endeavor to create business and marketing libraries in universities throughout the former communist countries when the Iron Curtain came down in 1989. She helped raise over $4 million in support, which led to the creation of 24 Eastern European Business Libraries beginning outside Prague, Czechoslovakia, and finishing in Irkutsk, Siberia. Osborn went on to Chair the AMA International’s Leadership Conference, its Leadership Forum and to serve as vice president of its Board of Directors and Chair of the Marketing Management Council, where she launched the first World Marketing Congress in San Diego. For the past 15 years she has served on the American Marketing Association Foundation’s Board of Trustees and has continued to fund the distribution of current business and marketing journals to universities in developing countries worldwide through the LAMP foundation. Tickets for the KAMA celebration honoring Osborn are $75 per person, with table sponsorships available for $750. Reservations are being accepted online at KAMA.org through Thursday, April 4. The organization will also be celebrating its silver anniversary, and Laura Mansfield Bower will receive the chapter’s Locander Award.

News from First Tennessee

‘On My Own’ By Pam Fansler First Tennessee Foundation is a major sponsor of “On My Own,” Tenne ssee’s financial education simulation for high Fansler school and junior high school students. The award- winning statewide youth financial literacy program is delivered through UT Extension educators. Participants in “On My Own” assume they are 25-years-old and are the primary or sole support of their household. After choosing a job, participants are assigned a realistic monthly salary and a hypothetical family. They are then guided through the realities of creating a budget including tax payments, savings and costs of living including housing, transportation, groceries, utilities, entertainment, child care, health and grooming, and medical and dental expenses. Using sample checks and registers, students write a check for each choice and deduct the corresponding amount from their registers. To keep things interesting, they may receive a “chance card” that exemplifies the unexpected expenses and incomes they may encounter in real life. The program impacts over 75,000 students across 46 counties in Tennessee. Surveys administered immediately after students completed the program show that the program is meeting its goals of increasing stu-

dents’ overall financial awareness. 82.3 percent of participants learned how having a family can affect their lifestyle, and 82.6 percent learned how much money it takes to get by. Another 82.6 percent learned how occupation and income will affect their lifestyle, and 69.8 percent learned how payroll deductions are taken from gross pay. Almost 80 percent learned how education can affect the kind of job they can get, and 78.3 percent felt more strongly that they needed to get a good education. Eighty percent better understood their parents’ concerns about money, and 80.7 percent felt more strongly that they needed to pay attention to their financial futures. We’re proud that the First Tennessee Foundation supports crucial youth financial education programs across Tennessee. An investment in financial literacy is an investment in the future. This program gives students the tools they need to become and remain financially self-sufficient and to make informed decisions that will help them be productive citizens.

Are pain pills effective, long-term solutions for Neuropathy treatment? Treatment options for Peripheral Neuropathy have included a small handful of medications. Patients have masked their pain by frequently taking prescription pain pills. This type of pain relief is temporary. Often these treatments lead to even more health problems or worse yet – addiction. So many people innocently fall into abusing prescription pain pills while initially using them to alleviate the pain. The Solution: The latest treatment regimen for treating the symptoms of Peripheral Neuropathy has a high success rate. Every case os unique, however, in most cases moderate to complete relief is possible. To ﬁnd out if your condition is one that can beneﬁt from treatment, call Tennessee Neuropathy Center today 865-329-6484.

Neuropathy may contribute to emotional stress and depression Many people suffering with pain don’t realize that the symptoms could be due to Peripheral Neuropathy. It is a condition that can be mis-diagnosed or ignored until it is unbearable. This can affect all aspects of your life and may even cause emotional stress or depression. Why suffer longer than you need to? If you feel that your symptoms may be caused by Peripheral Neuropathy, call today. Yes, Insurance Covers Neuropathy Treatment Most major insurances such as Blue Cross Blue Shield and Cigna cover most treatment options. Federal plans such as Medicare and TennCare also provide coverage. When you call for an appointment, a representative will verify your beneﬁts prior to treatment. Patients are responsible for all unpaid deductibles and co-pays.

What are patients saying? “For 30 years I suffered with pain which I thought was normal. I feel great, it’s unbelievable to be pain free! Thank you Tennessee Neuropathy Center.” – Carmen M. (Age 67)

Dental Answers Dr. Steven C. Crippen Question: “Is gum disease hereditary?” Answer: Research has confirmed that periodontal disease (gum disease) has at least a partial hereditary factor and some degree of familial tendency. Even so, periodontal disease is preventable with proper oral hygiene and regular professional care by one's dentist and dental hygienist. Those who have greater susceptibility to gum disease must be very diligent in using necessary oral hygiene methods at home in the manner demonstrated in the dental office. Although puffy and bleeding gums are often

symptoms of periodontal disease, some patients will have few symptoms while significant bone destruction is occurring below the surface of the gums. A fact that is surprising to many is that more adults in our population today suffer loss of teeth due to periodontal disease than to tooth decay. A visit to one's dentist for examination every six months is highly recommended. Questions for “Dental Answers” are welcomed and should be sent to our address at 7409 Temple Acres Drive, Knoxville, TN, 37938.

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m lucky to be aliveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Greg Guess of Knoxville, 47, said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lucky to be alive today, thanks to heart surgery at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were a whole bunch of miracles working in the past year for me,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;An experience like that, it just completely changes you.â&#x20AC;? In the spring of 2012, Guess thought he had a stomach virus, with severe indigestion and vomiting. Despite several trips to his primary doctor, the symptoms dragged on for three months. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ďŹ nd anything wrong, all my blood work was ďŹ ne, and so forth,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So ďŹ nally the doctor said the only thing he could do was send me for a colonoscopy, and see if it found an issue.â&#x20AC;? So Guess went to a Knoxville gastroenterologist. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He took a 30-second listen to my chest and said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;What are you doing about this heart murmur? Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not doing a colonoscopy with this heart murmur,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;? remembered Guess. So Guess was sent back to his primary doctor for an echocardiogram, an ultrasound of the heart. At that point, Guessâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; doctor found the real problem â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a big problem. His aortic valve was faulty, and the aorta â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the main artery leading blood away from the heart â&#x20AC;&#x201C; was dangerously bulging and swollen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The doctor sat down on the table next to me, he opens my ďŹ le and said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Look, everything in this ďŹ le tells me youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a healthy 47-year-old man, your blood pressureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ ne, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not overweight, but on that screen your aorta is ready to burst. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so sorry we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t catch this before. You need to go see a heart surgeon today,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;? said Guess. Most people never know they have this kind of heart defect until itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too late. Actor John Ritter, for example, suffered from this type of heart defect and died suddenly six days before his 55th birthDr. Lacy Harville day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If my aorta would have burst, I would

have dropped dead on the spot,â&#x20AC;? said Guess. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Only a small percentage of people ever know about it beforehand. I was lucky that I found it altogether. Finding it was nothing short of a miracle.â&#x20AC;? Guess went immediately to see Dr. Lacy E. Harville, a cardiovascular surgeon at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center. Harville recommended major reconstruction of the

aortic valve, which included replacing the aortic root, the ascending aorta and a portion of the aortic arch with a mechanical device. The surgery requires cooling the patientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s core temperature down to 64.4 degrees Fahrenheit. This slows the bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s processes down so the replacement can be made without causing brain and cellular damage. In other words, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big procedure.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dr. Harville said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;You can go home and think about it,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;? remembered Guess. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;How about doing it today?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;? So just a week after getting his diagnosis, Guess had surgery at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center on Aug. 23, 2012. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My stay at Fort Sanders was excellent, as far as how friendly and nice the people were, and how much they cared for you,â&#x20AC;? said Guess. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody really puts you at ease. You can tell they like their jobs and they care about people. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure they run tons of people through there on a weekly basis, but they never made me feel like a number.â&#x20AC;? Guess stayed at Fort Sanders six days before going home. He went to a cardiac rehabilitation program on an outpatient basis for four months. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a specialized program of exercise and diet intervention for anyone who has had heart disease or surgery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was really pretty amazing, how clockwork their whole operation is,â&#x20AC;? said Guess. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From the time you walk in to the time you walk out of therapy, they guide you through it.â&#x20AC;? As for Guessâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; heart, it has mended and should keep beating strongly for many years to come. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dr. Harville said it was just heredity or genetics, not any type of lifestyle issue,â&#x20AC;? said Guess, who doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t smoke and is not overweight. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father died when she was 16 of some type of heart defect, but they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t test back then,â&#x20AC;? said Guess. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I guess Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got her same type of genes. Dr. Harville said there was nothing I could have done differently.â&#x20AC;? The whole experience has changed his life, Guess said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bigger picture of why Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still here. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an enlightening issue beyond words,â&#x20AC;? said Guess, who is a member of Northstar Church in Knoxville. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gone from being spiritually dead to spiritually awake. I have a 7-year-old daughter, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the reason Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m around, to take care of her.â&#x20AC;? For more information on cardiovascular surgery at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center, call 865-673-FORT (3678) or visit our website at www.fsregional.com.

Fort Sanders Cardiac Surgery earns 3-Star Award The cardiac surgery department at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center recently earned a 3-Star Award from the Society of Thoracic Surgeons. This national designation means that Fort Sanders is among the top 10 percent of cardiac surgery centers in the United

States, based on a complex set of measurements considering severity of illness, complications from surgery, hospital stay and overall outcomes afterward. Only four hospitals in Tennessee received the same high rating and no others in the Knoxville area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In Washington, they consider this the gold standard for looking at how well cardiac surgery programs do,â&#x20AC;? said cardiothoracic surgeon Dr. Lacy Harville. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great that we got this, but it really speaks to the dedication of the whole heart team.â&#x20AC;?

Harville explained that it takes dozens of staff members, from surgeons and nurses to technicians and staff, to care for each patient. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just all of us, taking care of patients,â&#x20AC;? Harville said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have put a lot of processes in place to get better and better at what we do, and minimize the likelihood of problems occurring.â&#x20AC;? The award focused on coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, commonly called â&#x20AC;&#x153;cabbage.â&#x20AC;? It is a surgical procedure in which arteries or veins from other parts of the body are grafted onto heart

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have put a lot of processes in place to get better and better at what we do.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Dr. Lacy Harville arteries to bypass blockages. It is a very detailed surgery, and many things can go wrong, said Harville. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you do enough high risk surgery, which heart surgery is, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not always going to have a

great outcome,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So you want someone with a great batting average, and Fort Sanders is really good at all positions.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to look at more than just numbers, but patients are in very good hands at Fort Sanders.â&#x20AC;?

‘Cheep’ thrills If you’ve you’’ve ever toyed ed w with ith ith it the idea of keeping chickens, you’re in luck. Knox Farmers Co–op on Asheville Highway has kicked off its annual Chick Days program. It’s going on right now and continues through June. And despite the name, it’s not all about poultry.

Carol Zinavage

Carol’s Critter Corner There’s also plenty of advice offered to help you get a healthy start with baby rabbits, goats, ﬁngerling ﬁsh and other springtime animal youngsters. The big event is a Poultry Basics Seminar on Saturday, May 4, with vendors, homemade barbecue, birds for sale, and lots of fun for non-animal youngsters. So, bring the kids and come early for a good seat; last year’s event drew a huge turnout. “Farm families have known the joys of raising their own poultry for years, but people everywhere are beginning to realize the many

benefits of raising poultry, even if it’s right in their own backyards,” says Philip Campbell of the Co–op. “It is very gratifying to be able to learn and produce food from your own backyard.” Programs like this fit right in with the Slow Food movement, begun in Italy in 1986 as an alternative to fast food and factory-farming. Homeraised animals enjoy a much happier, healthier life than their factory-raised cousins, and those used for meat are dispatched humanely. As Campbell says, “Chicken owners know their eggs are fresh and natural and can be confident in the treatment of the meat they eat as well as the fun activity for the whole family. “Right now the interest in raising backyard poultry is continuing to grow, so don’t miss this window of opportunity.” The folks at Purina are kicking in with special costsavings on Purina brand feeds, including Certified Natural Start & Grow® and Flock Raiser® feed. Chick Days events are held at The Knox Farmers Co–op, 6616 Asheville Hwy. Info: 522–3148 or www.knoxcoop. net. For info on the Slow Food movement, visit www. slowfoodusa.org.

Taking a barn motivated group of residents working together to organize their own barn quilt trail. A quilt trail is a series of painted quilt squares hung at various locations, usually barns. They can be made of wood or metal. There are quilt trails in more than 25 U.S. states. Some of the trails take you along a drive in the countryside, where barn quilts are mounted on farm buildings, homes or fences. They may include stops at wineries, farm stands and even galleries.

For example, Corn and Beans is a popular one among farmers. Often the pattern or colors are chosen because they appeal to the owners.

I’ve often noticed old barns with quilted patterns and wondered what they represented. A quilt barn is a barn or other farm building that displays a quilt square.
