Haslam plan funds Broadway interchange

By Sandra Clark Gov. Bill Haslam has recommended funding construction in 2015 for long-discussed improvements to the intersection of Broadway and I-640. It was one of just two Knox County projects for 2015-17 in the Transportation Improvement Plan released last week.

Estimated to cost $15 million to $20 million, the project would finish the interchange redesign.

Phase One was completed in 2002. Knox County’s other project is widening 1.4 miles of Alcoa Highway south of Maloney Road

to Woodson Drive, also funded in 2015.

TDOT has extensive information about the Broadway project on its website.

In a nutshell, southbound Broadway will be widened to add a new ramp lane to I-640 westbound. The ramp from Broadway and Tazewell Pike will be separated from southbound Broadway by a barrier wall, eliminating the existing weave. A redesigned entrance ramp from Broadway southbound and Tazewell Pike will be two lanes. And a new entrance ramp will be built from

northbound Broadway to I-640 westbound and the westbound exit ramp will be redesigned.

Also, a new loop entrance will provide northbound Broadway access to I-640 westbound, eliminating the existing left-turn lane access. The exit ramp from I-640 westbound will be relocated and will bridge over the new loop ramp.

Residents requested bicycle and pedestrian trails at a public hearing, but TDOT says both are outside the project limits. However, TDOT is talking with the city’s Parks and Rec department about

widening portions of Old Broadway, Tazewell Pike and Dutch Valley Drive through grant money specifically designated for greenway development.

TDOT promises advance notifications of impending right-of-way acquisition, according to the website, and no occupant of residential property will be required to move until decent, safe and sanitary replacement housing is made available.

Work will be done on both sides of the road, but TDOT said two lanes (one each way) would be kept open for traffic.

Patrols are adequate, says sheriff

By Sandra Clark Knox County Sheriff Jimmy “J.J.” Jones says he has all the patrol officers in neighborhoods that he can afford, that he’s almost doubled the count from January 2007 when he became sheriff, and that Bobby Waggoner knows better than to scare people about home safety.

Analysis Waggoner, who is challenging Jones in the May 6 Republican primary, earlier said neighborhood patrols are thin – fewer than 30 officers on a shift – and it’s a question of the sheriff’s priori-

ties. The former chief of detectives promised more officers on patrol if he’s elected.

In an interview last week, Jones said his office continuously monitors calls to allocate officers to areas of highJones est crime. “When I took over we had some 17 to 18 officers on (patrol) duty. Now it’s about 30.”

Knox County outside the city (the Knoxville Police Department patrols inside the city) is divided into 12 zones with a patrol car assigned to each. There is overlap

during peak times (9 p.m. to midnight) and times of heavy traffic.

Jones says response time is crucial, so he has fewer officers on patrol during the middle of the night when traffic is sparse.

Waggoner South Knox has two zones, East Knox has two, North has three plus Halls and West has three plus the town of Farragut. There are precinct stations in Halls and Farragut and “about 44 to 50 square miles in each zone,” Jones said.

In addition to the patrol offi-

cers, other certified, gun-carrying officers are in the field, Jones said, especially during the day when civil and criminal warrants are served. “We have 220 officers (in addition to patrol) out in neighborhoods and in school zones. The men and women of the sheriff’s office do a great job.”

Jones pegs neighborhood safety as “8 to 8.5” on a 1-10 scale.

“People feel safe because we work hard,” he said. “People don’t want to live in a neighborhood that’s crawling with cops. What people want is quick response – an officer there when they need one.”

John Becker, news anchor of WBIR-TV, moderates the League of Women Voters forum.

Vote on charter schools shows legislative disconnect At a League of Women Voters forum last week, all six candidates for school board pretty much agreed about one thing:

Betty Bean Charter schools – they don’t much like them.

“Troublesome,” said chair Lynne Fugate, who said the Metro Nashville school district loses $9 million to charter schools annually.

Incumbent Pam Trainor also has concerns: “I don’t like to see public money going to private entities.”

Challengers Sally Absher, Scott Clark and Amber Rountree said they don’t like charters (with Absher saying that only half of charter schools outperform public schools). Clark recommended putting teacher/ coaches back in the class-

room to lower student/ teacher ratios, while Rountree said that charters don’t play by the same rules and recommended that Knox County Schools focus on community schools instead.

Patti Bounds, running unopposed, said she doesn’t like them either and fears that the charter trend will lead to public education for profit.

The candidates – challengers and incumbents alike – pretty much mirrored the view of the school board, where only Doug Harris is an outright advocate for charter schools.

Bounds is either remarkably prescient or keeps close tabs on what’s happening in Nashville because the next day after the forum, the House Education Committee – chaired by Knox County’s Harry Brooks – voted 8-7 to approve House Bill 1693, which “removes the present law prohibition against a public charter school contracting for the management or op-

eration of the charter school by a for-profit entity.” Brooks and fellow Republicans Bill Dunn and Roger Kane voted yes, and the bill moved on to the Calendar and Rules Committee (chaired by Dunn) to be scheduled for a floor vote.

But the for-profit bill failed in the calendar committee after Speaker Beth Harwell showed up to oppose it. She said she feared it would hurt non-profit charters, and she doesn’t want Tennessee taxpayer dollars going to out-of-state companies. Brooks and Dunn both voted to approve it, but Harwell prevailed, 7-10-1.

Dunn hopes the bill can be salvaged and said he would hold it in his committee rather than referring it back to the Education Committee.

When asked why he supported a bill that his school board clearly doesn’t want, he said the bill is set up to allow local school boards to vote on charter applications “which would have the man-

agement arrangement in it.”

So who’s got their ear?

Maybe those 59 lobbyists being paid to push vouchers and charters?

“These lobbyists and (education commissioner Kevin) Huffman’s people are crawling all over. I don’t think (Brooks, Kane and Dunn) are hearing it from their constituents,” said Democrat Gloria Johnson, a career teacher who couldn’t get a seat on the Education Committee.

“There’s millions’ worth of outside special-interest money flowing into Tennessee elections to influence privatization policies,” she said.

“A family with students in a public school whose funding is getting squeezed more and more has to wonder who is benefitting. We’ve got to stop taking orders from corporate lobbyists and start listening to educators and parents.”

Or maybe legislators should just let the elected school boards manage the schools.

‘What’s that in my backyard?!’

West Knox County homeowners should pay attention to what happens at Thursday’s MPC meeting regarding rezoning in Northshore Town Center. The change would allow Flournoy Development of Columbus, Ga., to build 246 apartment units on 10 acres adjacent to a neighborhood of singlefamily homes.

The Council of West Knox County Homeowners is certainly paying attention. At last week’s meeting, president Margot Kline encouraged members to contact MPC commissioners to ask them to vote “no” on amendments to the K nox v ille Margot Kline O n e -Ye a r Plan and the Southwest Sector Plan that would allow for high-density residential zoning.

The progress of this development, as well as the

Wendy Smith

nearby Westland Cove development, should be monitored by those who live along the Pellissippi Parkway corridor. City Council’s apparent support of the Flournoy project, and County Commission’s rezoning in favor of Westland Cove, foretell a multi-story apartment complex in your backyard.

Frank Slagle, who represents Northshore Landing at the homeowners council, reported on a meeting of individuals who oppose Westland Cove, John Huber’s proposed 312-unit complex on Emory Church Road. The meeting was rife with rumors about possible development on properties along Westland Drive and George Williams Road.

“We have to fight these,

or they’re going to be everywhere,” he said.

That may sound farfetched, but a perusal of annual Development Activity Reports on MPC’s website (www.knoxmpc.org) shows a rise in multi-dwelling residential units built in the county’s southwest sector since 2009.

In each of the four years leading up to ’09, other county sectors saw more units built. In ’09, the only units added in the entire county were in the south sector. In ’10, ’11 and ’12, the southwest sector had more multi-dwelling residential units built than all other sectors combined. Data for 2013 is not yet available on the website. Obviously, Southwest Knox County has become a desirable place to build apartments.

Residents like Becky Benson may suffer because of the trend. Her property is adjacent to the proposed Westland Cove development, so she is contemplating the view of a four-story

apartment building from her lakeside home.

The development is currently in litigation, but even if it fails, she fears the rezoning of the property from Agricultural to Planned Residential could open the door for more apartment complexes in areas where single-family homes are currently the norm.

“It sets a precedent for development at five units per acre,” she says. Huber’s plan consolidates allowable units from a 100-acre parcel.

Jim Pryor, an appraiser with Dunn & Metz Appraisal Group, says that as long as apartments are lucrative for developers, they’ll continue to spring up.

“If Westland Cove works, the likelihood is increased that others will try it.”

The good news is that builders typically tailor their developments to the market, and the market can bear only so many apartment buildings, he says.

Until then, keep an eye on your backyard.

Career Magnet Academy is huge gamble

By Sandra Clark “You pays your money and you takes your chances.”

Money is tight, but Knox County Schools is set to open a brand-new high school in August. Officials toured the construction site last Monday. We’re spending $3.75 million to retrofit the basement of the former Panasonic Building on Strawberry Plains Pike for classrooms and student labs.

The Career Magnet Academy (CMA@PSCC) joins Pellissippi State Community College, which has offered classes in the building since 2012 and currently has 300 students enrolled.

Doug Dillingham, supervisor of facilities and construction, said Knox County’s space will contain 13 classrooms, two science labs, media center, wellness center, teacher workrooms, guidance offices and a cafeteria.

KCS will provide food services and security.

The hook is dual credit

“Your win-loss record starts today,” said the coach before the first practice in pads.

Jones wants the Vols to work very fast, finish spring practice in high gear. It appears he is teaching tempo.

It could also mean there is still more to do than available working hours.

This time a year ago Tennessee football fans were excited about the new coach and the assumption that serious progress was coming soon. The forecast was for at least 7-5 and a small bowl game that Tennessee would obviously win.

Some have conveniently

forgotten that 7-5 was the consensus. I tabulated the optimistic outlooks and talked myself into believing enthusiasm was a satisfactory substitute for talent and depth. I am old enough to know better.

Well, you do remember how last season turned out.

Tennessee won one game, against South Carolina, that was unexpected. It came close against Georgia. The Vols looked awful losing to a very ordinary Florida. Missouri’s second-team quarterback was considerably better than Tennessee’s No. 2.

South Alabama caused acute indigestion, but winning ugly is significantly better than losing. I am still unable to explain how the Jaguars scored the final 17 points.

The gut punch last season was the loss to Vanderbilt – the failure to gain one yard for a necessary first down and standing by as Commodores drove 92 yards in the closing minutes, 12 plays, clincher by Patton Robinette, Maryville High grad rejected by the home team.

Oh my.

Here we are a year later, getting excited about our upbeat coach’s second year.

A major reconstruction job in the offensive and defensive fronts is ongoing. Butch will eventually identify a quarterback. After that, the honoree must be coached up to a competitive level.

A spirited website, NationalChamps.net, offers a preview of this fall. It has nine SEC teams in the top 25. It did not include Tennessee.

There are fans who just can’t believe our team is still 10th or worse in the conference. How can this be with so many famous recruits?

NationalChamps.net says this is its 13th season of uncanny accuracy. It does not provide a lot of original material but averages the opinions of Athlon, ESPN, USA Today, Fox Sports, CBS – all armed with highly paid people who should know.

The goal is to get better soon, to become competitive with good teams, be relevant again in the SEC, attract more paying customers (full-price tickets), sell more popcorn, earn more standing ovations.

If all that happens, the great philosopher is coach of the year.

Homeland Security, Sustainable Living and Teacher Preparation. Students are not expected to commit to a career path until their sophomore year, he said.

The promise to parents: “A learning environment like no other … a culture of high expectations and high outcomes … hands-on, project-based learning with a highly trained staff dedicated to success.”

Business partnerships with ALCOA, DENSO and Republic Plastics enable job shadowing, field experience and internships. Transportation will be provided from base schools, and the hours of operation are weekdays 9:30 to 4:30, following the KCS calendar. Enrollment information is available at www.knoxschools.org/.

Will this new school work?

L&N STEM Academy made sense from its launch.

L&N appeals to the kid who trades football and pep rallies for a tech-based curriculum in a unique historic building downtown with easy access to UT professors and labs. Students have enrolled from across Knox County, and this year’s waiting list is almost 200.

CMA is a bigger risk.

With windowless classrooms on the outskirts of nowhere, the school is closer to Jefferson or Sevier county residents than the population center of Knox County.

The career magnet seeks the 8th-grader who can visualize post-high school work-life, not as a chemical engineer but as a homeland security or sustainability technician, whatever that even means.

Anyone who has known (or been) an 8th-grader has cause to cringe.

Going out to serve

Live the story Then those who went ahead and those who followed were shouting, “Hosanna! Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord! Blessed is the coming kingdom of our ancestor David!

(Mark 11: 9-10 NRSV) And how we love a parade!

In a frenzy of celebration we gladly focus on Jesus and generously throw our coats and palms in his path ‌.

It’s between parades that we don’t do so well.

From Sunday to Sunday we forget our hosannas.

Between parades the stones will have to shout because we don’t. (“Between Parades,� Kneeling in Jerusalem, Ann Weems)

Ryan Fenyves digs a hole for the French drains to be installed on the playground at Fountain City Park.

Keely Hoekstra, Michael Gresham and Amanda Fenyves help with drain installation.

By Ruth White Christians are called to go out and serve others. Members of Fellowship North take that calling seriously.

On every fifth Sunday, the group meets at their worship center on Tazewell Pike for a brief prayer service before heading out into the community to serve others.

On this particular Sunday, several church members were at Whittle Springs Middle School where they helped out in the parent center. Members created posters of encouragement to hang on the walls, wrote

New Hope Christian School celebrates 20 years New Hope Christian School will celebrate its 20th anniversary at 10:45 a.m. Sunday, April 13, during New Hope Christian Church’s worship service.

Students from the school will sing during the service, the graduating students will give testimony and founding pastor Ralph Waggoner will be preaching. All former staff members and students are invited to attend.

The school opened in 1993 with nine students and has grown to 67 students enrolled this year. It serves students in kindergarten through 8th grade.

N’Diaye said that the center is designed to help children become more successful in school by working with their parents during these important years. “Parents play an important role in the intellectual, social and emotional growth of their children.�

The center has a wish list, and anyone interested in helping out can contact

Another group was at Fountain City Park to clean up and install French drains on the playground. According to Fountain City Lions

Club member Ben Easterday, the playground holds water, creating a mess under play equipment. Once the drains are installed, the water will no longer puddle. The group also repainted the signs for the park, cleared away trash and painted trash cans for a fresh look.

provide special services throughout the week. I know – from experience – the thought and hard work and preparation that goes into those services, and I am grateful to those creative and imaginative people who find ways to bring the old, old story to life again.

I encourage you to worship this week. Find a service – every day, if possible – in which you can walk with Jesus through these days.

Read Scripture. Be there, in your heart and mind. Imagine the scenes, picture the people, hear the sounds, feel the emotions. Listen to Jesus teach in the Temple.

Go to dark Gethsemane.

Struggle up the hill to Golgotha. Watch the darkness enshroud the world. Hear the dreadful silence.

Shout your Hosannas!

Proclaim your Alleluias! In between, however, live the story. It will be a blessing to you.

What

Whenever I read Mark’s account of the crowd’s excitement when Jesus entered Jerusalem, I am transported back to the Via Dolorosa on a day late in March.

The crowds thronged the streets that day, too, reminiscent of a similar crowd who pushed and hurried along almost 2,000 years before. I was a pilgrim, like those so long ago, but I wished for quiet and stillness in which to absorb the history that surrounded me, suffocating me. The crowd was loud and insistent, and I was swept along in the tide, forced to concentrate on maintaining balance and guarding my purse and my passport from pickpockets.

Across the years, I have tried to understand Palm Sunday separate from Good Friday and Easter. It is difficult to do because we – these 20 centuries later – know “the rest of the story.�

We can see the ending, and it is hard to really experience what we now call Holy Week one day at a time, without anticipating the happy ending.

That is one reason I appreciate the churches that

Strunk is co-Teacher of the Year

By Ruth White Denise Strunk has a special place in her heart for special-needs children.

She has worked with them for 16 years, nine of those at Brickey-McCloud Elementary.

MILESTONES

Raineses celebrate 63 years

Strunk went back to college to earn her degree after her daughter graduated from high school.

When she Denise Strunk was trying to choose a career path, a counselor suggested teaching special-needs children. “One experience in a special-needs classroom during my practicum was enough,� she said. “I was hooked.�

She enjoys seeing stuff “click� with her students and watching them progress.

Knowing what her students like and need is important to her. “Finding that relationship and learning about

them helps me help them,� she said.

When asked what she liked about teaching at Brickey-McCloud, Strunk immediately responded, “What’s not to like?�

She is appreciative of every staff member being accepting of the special-needs children at the school and the way they include them in activities. “There are excellent teachers here, and we all work together,� she said.

At the end of the school year Strunk will retire from teaching and spend more time with her husband.

No big plans are set yet, but she hopes to travel in the next few years.

In her free time she enjoys spending time on the lake, sewing and making crafts.

Activities in the gym included a dart toss, bobbing for apples, duck pond, face painting, pie toss, singing by the madrigals and skits by the masquerade players.

Music bonds Look at these rascals.

There, down in the lefthand corner of the formal band photo. See those guys leaning?

They got into a lot of trouble for that.

You won’t recognize any faces in that photo. It’s from a distant land called Waynesville, N.C., and a faraway time known as 1973. Its members are now in their late 50s, though some of them haven’t made it past that.

One of them, in particular, is on my mind. He made his exit recently.

His name was Robert. In the photo, he’s the fourth male from the left, finessing the prank with just the slightest tilt.

When he was diagnosed with cancer three years ago, he fought it into remission.

He, his children and his wife of seven years – soul mates if ever I saw them – were just getting used to breathing easier.

But last November the disease came back in another form, and this time it meant business.

It took him down – savagely – in four months.

With a remarkable, highly decorated Air Force career, he was possibly, said a colleague at his funeral, “the best attack pilot this country has ever produced.”

His receiving line lasted five hours. Every intersection in town was blocked off for his funeral cortege. He received full military honors at the gravesite, including a jet flyover that was one of the most astounding things I’ve ever experienced – “unraveling,” said a friend. One by one, each soldier saluted his

Carol Zinavage

Carol’s Corner coffin. It took a long time; there were a lot of them.

They came from all over the country to honor him. They were his family.

But during his final months, it was his old bandmates who took care of him.

Some of them gave him a last party at home. In his prime, he was one of the finest big-band drummers on the planet. He could have made a career of it. So his pals had brought him a box drum – the kind you sit on and play with the flat of your palms – along with some instruments of their own. The jamming went on until he was too weak to continue.

By all accounts, he had at least one night late in the game when he was happy, joyous and free.

One of those guys stayed on 24-hour call for months.

He did everything from helping Robert to the bathroom, to spelling his exhausted wife in her vigil, to holding Robert’s hand late at night when he’d wake up terrified.

In hospice, a former flag carrier kept Robert’s family, and everyone else who had come to say goodbye, supplied with delicious homemade meals.

When it looked as if the funeral would be sooner rather than later, Robert’s

The night Robert passed, several were there to hold and comfort his wife.

His funeral featured live

And three of his old drum crew helped to carry his coffin.

These days, when school music programs are fighting to survive, you hear a lot about what music does for the brain. It’s all true. Kids who play an instrument do better in school. The study

of music encompasses history, geography, languages and math. It improves eyehand coordination and teaches perseverance and discipline.

It also gives you friends – true, valiant friends – for life.

This ain’t yer Pappy’s

moonshine

By Cindy Taylor Neil Roberson jokes that he “stumbled� into his trade because of his love of beer and wine. He quickly adds that he wouldn’t call what he does making a living, but it sure is a job – and it’s one he loves.

Award winner and master distiller Neil Thomas Roberson, known for marketing purposes as the Tiny Hillbilly, manufactures moonshine flavors for distribution through his company, East Tennessee Distillery. Roberson doesn’t sneak out in the

middle of the night to check the still, and he isn’t hiding his brew from revenuers.

What he concocts soars as high as 150 proof and is 100 percent legal. But this ain’t yer Pappy’s moonshine.

MC’s Wine and Liquor on Strawberry Plains Pike sponsored a premier tasting of East Tennessee Distillery’s newest moonshine flavor, Honey Ginseng, on a recent Friday.

Folks poured in from all over to get a glimpse of company co-founder “Tiny,� who has made an appearance on

the History Channel’s show “Appalachian Outlaws.�

While cuttin’ up with Tiny, folks could sample the new flavor along with tastes of Mellomoon Original, Peach, Coconut, Caramel, 150 Proof WhiteLightnin’ and Strawberry.

The moonshine business has been booming since it became legal in Tennessee in 2009. Distribution that Tiny and his sales team thought would take three years to establish in this part of the country took less than three months. Looking at his history, one could say that Tiny pretty much “sailed� into this line of work. “My first experience with distilling was in the Navy running the ship’s evaporators to distill fresh water from salt water,� he said. “Out of the Navy I went to school and got a degree in industrial engineering, worked in a lab and then

Even if you love the taste, you might not want to know what Tiny says goes into making the distinct flavors – although he often speaks tongue-in-cheek. “You know moonshine really is pretty much anything that the government doesn’t have defined as a class,� said Tiny. “I’ve heard tell of people putting roosters and chickens in there.� He grinned. “It is classified as spirits by the government, but most important, moonshine is an American tradition.�

There is no suit and tie for this engineer, who prefers a cloak of sleeveless Tshirt, felt hat with feather, corncob pipe and overalls.

Seems like a long voyage from salt water to moonshine, but he says not so.

He claims to be the runt of the litter, but Tiny, who is well over six feet tall, says he loves to drink and it was getting way too expensive a hobby for a guy his size. Once he discovered that he had a knack for distilling whiskey, it didn’t take much persuasion from friends to get him to dive into his own business.

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

A life changing night of sleep Scott Beverly of Knoxville, 53, has been taking better care of his health lately, ever since he experienced atrial fibrillation, the most common type of irregular heartbeat.

Working out and losing weight have helped. But Beverly has also visited Dr. Thomas G. Higgins at the Fort Sanders Sleep Disorders Center for an exam and a sleep test in the summer of 2013.

“My wife (Toni) kept saying I was snoring a whole lot at nighttime, and she could tell I stopped breathing during the night,” Beverly said.

At the sleep center, Beverly was diagnosed with a condition called obstructive sleep apnea.

This occurs when a person’s airway relaxes during sleep and collapses on itself. This causes loud snoring and periodic lapses in breathing, which in turn can strain the heart.

And of course, it makes for a lousy night’s sleep.

At the sleep center, Beverly had a thorough exam by Higgins and then was scheduled for a sleep test. He arrived at 7 p.m. to spend the night in one of the center’s suites, complete with a comfortable bed and bathroom.

“It was very nice, almost like home,” Beverly said. Except that patients are connected all night to monitors recording their heart rate, brain activity, breathing

dreamed. I hadn’t done that in forever!”

Today Beverly wears a CPAP mask every night to sleep and has seen a dramatic improvement in his energy level. The machine is about the size of a shoe box and sits beside his bed.

“I’m 100 percent better. I didn’t feel it at first. But my wife and even boss and others could tell the difference. I have more pep and a more normal energy level,” Beverly said.

Beverly said he would recommend the Fort Sanders Sleep Disorders Center to anyone who needs a better night’s rest. And the added bonus of treating his sleep apnea has been a more regular heart beat.

“My atrial fibrillation has gone from spells four times a week, to maybe once every two weeks, if that,” he said. “Dr. Higgins thinks maybe when I stopped breathing so many times during the night, it was triggering the irregular heartbeat.

“I had excellent care at Fort Scott Beverly and his wife, Toni, in Annapolis, Md., where their son, Brandon, is a junior at the United States Naval Sanders,” he said. “When you walk in, you’re not a number, Academy you’re a person.

Science of a good night’s rest Getting a good night’s rest is not a luxury but rather a necessity for good health, according to Dr. Thomas G. Higgins, a neurologist and sleep disorders specialist at Fort Sanders Sleep Disorders Center.

“Most people need at least seven or eight hours of sleep,” said Higgins. “There are shorter sleepers, but most people getting five hours are not getting enough sleep. Your body temperature, horDr. Thomas G. mones and everyHiggins thing in the body functions better if you’re attaining enough sleep.”

A lack of sleep can affect the body in many negative ways, Higgins said.

“The immune system is affected,” he said. “People who do not get enough sleep are more likely to become ill. People with insufficient sleep are more likely to put on weight, because a lack of sleep affects metabolism. That can lead to diabetes and heart disease.

“Obtaining good sleep reduces your sensitivity to chronic pain.

doesn’t get to a deep stage of sleep.

Sleep apnea is managed by wearing a CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) machine at night. This machine forces air through a tube and mask, and into the patient’s airway to keep it open.

“In one study, they took photos of patients before and two months after using a CPAP machine, and asked other people to rate who was more attractive. The people judged most attractive were the ones who had used the CPAP for a couple of months.

“So if you want to Fibromyalgia, for example, can be aggravated by a lack of sleep,” be good looking, healthy and feel better, use your CPAP,” said Higsaid Higgins.

Myths about sleep Myth: Some people only need 4 to 5 hours per night.

Truth: Everyone needs 7 to 8 hours of sleep each night, and others need up to 9 hours. Sleep is productive time, in which brain and body cells rejuvenate.

Myth: Sleep problems only affect older women.

Truth: Insomnia affects everyone, but is more common in older women. Men in their 30s and 40s are most likely to get sleep apnea. And narcolepsy, a serious sleep disorder, most often begins in a person’s teens and 20s.

When to call the doctor If you have a problem getting to sleep, it’s probably a sleep hygiene issue.

Try keeping regular sleep hours, use the bedroom only for sleeping don’t work on the computer or watch TV just before bed and avoid caffeine after dinner.

Get exercise every day, but not right before bed. Do something relaxing before bed, like take a bath or read (as long as it’s not exciting). Keep the lights low or even off. Before there were electric lights, people regularly slept 9 hours per day.

If you keep waking up during the night, that’s more likely a physica problem such as sleep apnea, restless leg syndrome or any one of a number of sleep disorders.

If you’ve tried good sleep hygiene and still can’t fall asleep, call your doctor. Or if you’re waking up in the middle of the night repeatedly that’s a reason to call a doctor as well.

Get Your Life Back Chronic sleep deprivation or poor quality sleep can leave you feeling exhausted, irritable and unable to focus. It can also lead to serious health problems.

The professionals at the nationally accredited Fort Sanders Regional Sleep Disorders Center can help you get a refreshing night’s sleep – and get your life back.

HALLS/FOUNTAIN CITY Shopper news • APRIL 7, 2014 • B-3

What’s flying around at your place?

Spring azure, mourning cloak, eastern comma, clouded sulphur. There are some really neat things out there announcing the arrival of spring, besides flowers and birds. Butterflies, for example.

The above-named four critters are some of our earliest butterflies. In fact, some of them fly so early in the year that they show up while it is still winter!

We often think of butterflies as the big flashy swallowtails and monarchs of summer fields and meadows, rather than one of our first hopeful signs of spring. But here they are, often flying before even the first wildflower peeks out from under the leaves, and long before the first migrant bird finds its way back to East Tennessee.

I’ve seen all four of the above-mentioned butterflies flitting around my yard at various times over the past three or four weeks. It continues to be a pleasant surprise to be grumping my way to the mailbox bundled up in my old warm coat, and see a bright blue or yellow butterfly flapping mer-

rily along as if to say “what’s your problem, buddy?”

Butterflies are fun, and a lot of birders are developing into being butterfly enthusiasts, too. They are a nice addition to any birding outing.

For one thing, they are often out and about in the middle of the day, when the birding gets slow. And you’re out there with your binoculars in your hand anyway. Binoculars are a real help, bringing the butterflies up close while you remain far enough away to avoid spooking them (at least sometimes). There are about the same number of North American butterfly species as there are species of birds, and the butterflies can prove to be even more of a challenge to see well and to learn.

The little spring azures, a little over half an inch long,

may be one of our earliest signs of spring. Widespread and common across the United States, they begin to fly as early as February in our area. They are a nice pale blue above; light bluegray with little spots below. Their close relative the eastern tailed blue, another little early blue butterfly, is similar to the azure but with little tails and orange spots on its hind wings.

The mourning cloaks are beautiful, and interesting.

They are easy to recognize – larger and slower, with a rich brown color and sporting a clear yellow border along their trailing edge.

These guys are among the longest-lived of all our butterflies, living as long as 10 months (many species live only a few weeks).

The mourning cloaks hatch out in the summer and are adult butterflies in the fall. Unusual for butterflies, they hibernate over the winter as adults and so are ready to fly again as soon as the temperatures approach the 60-degree mark, even if it is still winter.

tle harder – they are strong, fast fliers that often land on tree trunks. Above they are orange with a bunch of brown spots, but alighted with their wings folded to show only their undersides, their brown-patterned, irregularly-shaped wings look exactly like a dead leaf.

You’ve probably mistaken one for a leaf on more than one occasion. The comma, and its nearly-identical first cousin, the question mark, get their names from a tiny silver comma or question mark on the underside of their back wings.

One of our most widespread groups of butterflies, the sulphurs, have lots of species in their family, but the most likely ones around these parts beginning in March are the clouded sulphur and the cloudless sulphur. They are both yellow, medium-sized butterflies of field and meadow, and differ in slight amounts of color in their forewings. Their caterpillars like to eat clover and alfalfa, so as farming increases in a given area, so do the numbers of sulphurs.

Male sulphurs are all

yellow, but some of the females of these two species are yellow and some white.

So, if you see a yellow butterfly out in your field flying around courting a white butterfly, be reassured – they know what they’re doing; everything’s OK. Watching butterflies is like watching birds or stalking wildflowers – it can be an addictive pastime. For pure visual enjoyment, there are the different species of swallowtails and fritillaries. For making friends, there are the confiding and easy-to-observe buckeyes and hackberries. And if you want challenge and intense study, there are species like the dreaded skippers – dozens of species of skittish, fast-moving look-alikes that can send you to your field guide shaking your head.

There are numerous good books to help you learn about our butterflies. Two that I have found to be very useful, out of many, are the “Stokes’ Butterfly Book,” and Ken Kaufman’s “Field Guide to the Butterflies of Eastern North America.”

Rejoice, spring is here!

CAMPERS WANTED

Enjoy the flowers and the birds. And check out the butterflies. Now is a good time to begin looking for them, when there aren’t so many different ones out and about. Then, as the season comes along, you will already be familiar with a bunch of them.

A word in regards to the birds: We here in Knoxville have a top-notch birding site in Sharp’s Ridge Park, a widely-known spring migrant trap.

Again this year, folks from the Knoxville Bird Club – properly known as the Knoxville Chapter of the Tennessee Ornithological Society – will be doing spring bird walks up there.

The walks will be on the last three Thursdays of April and the first Thursday of May. We start at 8 a.m. at the old ranger’s house about halfway down the drive; there is plenty of parking.

There will be all skill levels of birders there. The experts especially welcome beginners and will try to show them good looks at the birds.

All that’s required is a set of binoculars – they are necessary if you want to actually see what’s flying around up there. Join us for a pleasant hour or two!
