Farm leaders support local Ag program Local and state farm leaders have written to support the discontinued Agricultural Education program for Halls and Gibbs high schools and the accompanying loss of the FFA chapter, which opened competitions and scholarship opportunities for students. Charles Hord, executive director of the Tennessee Cattlemen’s Association, and Doug Dawkins, a Halls resident who is vice president of TCA for 11 counties, say the decision to end the Halls and Gibbs FFA chapter hurts students. Mike Blankenship’s program at North Knox Vocational Center “has been highly successful over the years and is recognized as one of the outstanding programs in the state,” they wrote to Superintendent Dr. Jim McIntyre. “While we certainly understand that budgets are tight and tough decision sometimes have to be made,” they wrote, “we encourage you to look at other options and consider reinstating the FFA program.” The email was sent to school board members Kim Severance, Mike McMillan and Lynne Fugate. – S.

Basketball: a summer sport

Donnie Tyndall generated so much excitement with his remarkable recruiting roundup, a spur-of-the-moment thing, that basketball is suddenly a summer sport. People who didn’t know there was a Rocky Top League are now asking about rosters and schedules. Youngsters wonder if there has ever been anything like this outburst of enthusiasm.

Meet the Apple Butter Brothers

WATE-TV news anchor Gene Patterson interviews Joe McDonald, one of the Apple Butter Brothers of the Union County Masonic Bodies at the J.C. Baker Lodge in Maynardville. Shopper-News interns went along to observe Patterson in action (and eat apple butter). The segment, sponsored by Food City, will air this Friday. Photo by Ruth White

By Sandra Clark Lies, awesome apple butter and more lies highlighted a visit to the J.C. Baker Lodge when WATETV news anchor Gene Patterson dropped by to video some authentic country cooking. ShopperNews interns came along to watch a real television production. Patterson made everyone feel at ease, and Joe McDonald fired up the oven with some “homemade” biscuits from Food City. Making apple butter is a four-hour process, Don Bridges explained. Luckily, members of the Apple Butter Brothers had arrived early, and the pot was bubbling to the perfect consistency.

The interns got plastic spoonfuls of the mixture, straight from the kettle. “Is this hot?” asked one. Yikes! The Maynardville Masons started making apple butter about eight years ago. “We came up with the idea after we discovered a little chapter with about 20 members that had more money than any other chapter. They raised it making apple butter,” said Bridges. “First we laughed, then we cried, then we got to work,” somebody else chimed in. It’s hot work for sure. The apple butter must be constantly stirred to prevent scorching. The men take turns pushing the wooden

paddle. McDonald said that, too, is an art: “You don’t want it to go glop-glop-glop, and you don’t want to glop ... glop. You’ve got to stir it just right. “We sit around and talk,” he added. “There’s a lot more going on than apple butter. There’s a lot of fellowship.” The Masons sell their product at regional festivals. A pint retails for $7 ($5 to fellow Masons). The J.C. Baker Lodge supports local Boy Scouts, sending two to camp each summer, but its major project is to provide shoes to those in need. During the school year, the men open the fellowship hall on the first and third Saturdays

to distribute shoes to anyone who shows up – 600 pairs last year. Jim Chadwell explains: “We don’t ask where they’re from or how much they make. We just ask for their shoe size.” The Shopper-News interns saw a news professional in action as Patterson and his camera operator taped the Masons. Then the Masons served biscuits and apple butter for all. Great fun! The segment will air on WATE on Friday, June 20, Patterson said. It’s part of a series on locally produced food sponsored by Food City. Tune in to see some mighty fine fellows having fun as they benefit the community.

Burchett gears up consolidated government push By Betty Bean Supporters of combining city and county governments tried and failed to get it done in 1959, 1978 and 1983 before launching a high-dollar, go-forbroke 1996 attempt that ended as the most embarrassing Tim Burchett failure of all. Tommy Schumpert, then county mayor and a unification supporter, predicted it would be 15 or 20 years before anybody tried it again, if ever. And he figured it might take some kind of crisis to

trigger such an attempt. Eighteen years later, after multiple county scandals – from a series of term limits and sunshinelaw violations that led to “Black Wednesday,” to the indictments of two consecutive elected trustees – a new unification movement is emerging, this time from a different direction than the usual business elites who have been met with suspicion by county residents. Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett sees benefits from unification and seems determined to avoid the failures of the past. The popular Republican is running unopposed for reelection and appears ready to make unified

government the “big idea” of his second term. He’s been dropping public hints and engaging in oneon-one discussions about it for months. “Just don’t call it metro,” he said, drawing a distinction between his plan and Metro Nashville, which combined its city and county governments in 1963. It’s governed by a 40-member metro council. The top cop is appointed, and the elected sheriff is a glorified jailor. Burchett wants to blunt the opposition of city employees, who fought the 1996 referendum. He calls the Knoxville Fire Department “one of the best in the coun-

try.” He strongly supports keeping the elected sheriff as the combined government’s “top cop.” But his biggest talking point is saving money. He cites duplication in parks and recreation, human resources, tax collection and other departments. He doesn’t foresee wholesale firings and thinks city and county staffs could be combined and trimmed through attrition and retirements. He works well with Knoxville Mayor Madeline Rogero, and her chief policy officer, Bill Lyons, said Rogero will gladly talk about unification.

Celebrating another birthday

The American Cancer Society’s resource center library inside Tennova’s cancer center celebrated its fourth year of handing out resources and an occasional hug. The library is staffed with dedicated volunteers who are passionate about reaching out to others. David Underwood has been a cancer survivor for seven years and has been part of the program from the beginning, even before the American Cancer Society came on board. “It’s about giving with no expectation of getting something in return. ■

But you always get more back,” said Underwood. Sheila Brown said that her time volunteering is “very rewarding,” and Sue Boyle added that she hopes her testimony of survival can give hope to others. “We all (the volunteers) have been touched by cancer in some way,” she said. The resource library is open 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday, 1-4 p.m. Wednesday and Friday, and 1-4:30 p.m. Tuesday and Thursday. The goal is to be able to have the center open full time, but volunteers are needed to reach that ambition. Anyone interested in being a volunteer can call 584-

Tournament helps B&G Club

The Boys and Girls Club of Halls/Powell hosted the 16th annual invitational golf tournament in memory of Daniel Burnette, founder of Interstate Media. The tournament was held at Beaver Brook Country Club, and approximately 25 teams participated to help raise funds for field trips, needed supplies and programs at the Boys and Girls Club facility on Dry Gap Pike. “It has been a great day for the tournament,” said Kira Jones. “Everyone has had a great time, and the campers have been on hand Dearius Kinnebrew and Kira Jones help at the 16th annual Boys to help out in thanks of the and Girls Club Invitational golf tournament at Beaver Brook support they have received.” Country Club.

Burchett gears up “We are always interested in finding ways to deliver quality service at a lower cost. However, Mayor Rogero has not yet had discussions with Mayor Burchett on this matter.” The bitter animosity between Sheriff Tim Hutchison, who opposed unification, and Knoxville Mayor Victor Ashe, who supported it, proved insurmountable in 1996. Neither holds office today, and Sheriff Jimmy “J.J.” Jones is a former KPD employee who has populated his command staff with

From page A-1 KPD retirees. Lyons, a consultant and pollster in the failed 1996 unification attempt, says combining the two governments won’t be easy, despite a friendlier political climate. He’s not sure what happened before, but “we do know that it has never won outside the city.” Ashe said it could be even harder to sell unification to city voters this time around. “Even though Tim and Madeline appear to get along, they are totally opposite on almost everything. …

Why would (city residents) vote to have a less progressive government that won’t ever vote to raise taxes?” Burchett is undeterred. “We’ve got to get the discussion started,” he said. “It’s not something you just say and it happens. You have to have a lot of community input. “If the community decides it wants to continue with duplication of services, then, we’ll stay on this road. But if they realize there’s a problem, this might resolve it.”

The case for crossover voting

Knox County Democrats have a history of voting in Republican primaries. Many times (e.g. last month’s county primary races) Democrats field very few candidates, leaving races to be decided in the GOP primary, so it’s not particularly surprising that conscientious Democrats who want a say in who governs them sometimes check the box marked R.

Campaign kickoff

The raccoon who came to dinner

Betty Bean running against him in 2014. It’s not hard to connect the dots. Although Campfield told the Chattanooga TimesFree Press that he wanted to keep those bent on causing “havoc” out of GOP primaries, it’s a pretty safe bet the havoc he feared was going to be wreaked by Democrats voting in the Republican primary for the purpose of sending Stacey Campfield home. That was before Cheri Siler, who also has her own solid-gold resume – mathematics teacher with two legit college degrees, happily married mother of six accomplished children who is not only “from here” but grew up helping her parents in their family-owned chain

of family restaurants – announced as a candidate and gave Democrats a reason to hope. But not a reason to stay home in the primary. They shouldn’t give up the notion of crossing over and voting in the GOP primary since Siler is unopposed and will do just fine. What they need to do is get over there and vote for Campfield. The district strongly favors Republicans, and Siler will have a tough battle in the November election. But her path will be easier against Campfield than against Dr. Col. Commissioner Briggs. Really, this should be a no-brainer. Meanwhile, Briggs must walk a careful line, attracting as many Republicans as possible while taking care not to offend others who may want to visit, just for Election Day. And for many 7th senatorial district voters, there’s

another reason to cross over. Incumbent 13th District House member, Rep. Gloria Johnson, targeted by Republicans, is running unopposed. Her district overlaps Campfield’s, and her general-election opponent will be the winner of a GOP primary slugfest between newcomers Jason Emert and Eddie Smith. Johnson supporters should vote for the heavily funded Emert, who has demonstrated a knack for shooting himself in the butt and has no track record in the district, which he appears to have moved into in 2013. Smith, on the other hand, grew up in the Alice Bell community and has a strong campaign partner in his wife, former Miss Tennessee Lanna Keck. If he survives the primary, he will be a more formidable opponent for Johnson than Emert would be. This math isn’t hard to do.

the three-overtime victory at Mississippi State for the 1967 SEC title. That was Ron Widby, Tom Boerwinkle, Tom Hendrix, Bill Justus and Billy Hann. If you missed Mears, you missed a treat. A smallercollege national championship at Wittenberg was his springboard to Tennessee. Sports Illustrated featured the team pre-game meal of green JELL-O and oatmeal cookies and mentioned the deliberate offense, matchup zone and player discipline. Nobody in Knoxville noticed. Mears was invited in under cover of darkness and grabbed the UT job offer without even asking what his salary would be. He was

otherwise very smart. He switched to orange JELL-O. In addition to compelling basketball, this coach offered a bag of sideshow tricks, runner-up to the Greatest Show on Earth – Globetrotter warmups, John Paschal wrestling a bear, Roger Peltz riding a unicycle while juggling three balls. The carnival pitchman was a front. Mears was a crafty, calculating, fiercely competitive fighter. He was too forthright to be a good recruiter, but he did a lot with what he got. Mears associate Stu Aberdeen signed Ernie Grunfeld and Bernard King, and they created the best of times. The Mears team that took shape 50 years ago was very interesting. It won the first seven games, took two of three at the Far West Classic,

lost at Vanderbilt and won 10 in a row. The trip to Alabama interrupted the fun. Kentucky won by one in Lexington, and Florida was a twopoint victor in Gainesville. Those Vols – captain A.W. Davis, Widby, Howard Bayne, Larry McIntosh, Austin “Red” Robbins and some other really good guys – finished 20-5, but there was no place to go, no conference tournament, no NCAA opportunity. They finished 12-4 in the SEC. Only champions qualified. It would be a warm, fuzzy gesture if Tennessee brought back that group for a 50th reunion. Old fans could say thanks one more time to A.W. The now generation might discover Vol basketball excitement isn’t a totally new phenomenon.

Mr. Thompson kept his lawn well manicured to ensure the best possible playing conditions. Competition was fierce. And knocking another player’s ball away could become both emotional and personal. On a given Sunday, there could be 10-12 people participating, but only six played while the others watched and cheered their favorite. Someone always brought refreshments, usually fresh-squeezed lemonade or iced tea. Performing arts were plays conducted at Farragut High School. These included productions by students and local play groups. Churches hosted music recitals and the occasional visiting choir. It made no difference which of the three churches sponsored the event, the other two announced it during Sunday service and most everyone attended. In fact, denomination didn’t make much difference either, and for 43 years, the

Methodist and Presbyterian churches held both services and Sunday school together. And browsing through antique shops, book stores and museums was never an option. First, no stores were open on Sunday, and those that were open usually became the subject of a sermon. An example was the Lakeland Service Center at the corner of Concord Road and Front Street. Not only did that establishment stay open, but it also sold beer, and the combination of those two indiscretions always made good subject matter for Sunday sermons. Ironically, Concord Swimming Pool and Concord Marina were always open on Sunday, but without much criticism. That’s probably because almost everyone in old Concord owned a boat or at least had access to one, and since boating and swimming had broad involvement, it was considered to be acceptable entertainment. Another Sunday afternoon pastime was visiting

relatives. Not much happened. We generally sat on the front porch and talked, and my mother would serve dessert. Visits were seldom impromptu, and when someone was coming, mother always fi xed enough food for dinner to ensure we had enough left over for supper. So, reflecting on past and present Sunday afternoons, the most amazing thing is that so much change in thought, attitudes and entertainment has occurred in such a relatively short period of time. But I presume life in old Concord was very similar to life in other rural areas in the South 60 years ago. Life was simple then, and modern conveniences we often take for granted had yet to be discovered. And if I were asked to choose between the present and half a century ago, it would be a hard choice. Certainly, I enjoy the present, but I also enjoyed the past.

Basketball enthusiasm isn’t brand new Donnie Tyndall generated so much excitement with his remarkable recruiting roundup, a spur-of-the-moment thing, that basketball is suddenly a summer sport.

Marvin West

People who didn’t know there was a Rocky Top League are now asking about rosters and schedules. Youngsters wonder if there has ever been anything like this outburst of enthusiasm. Well, the answer is yes,

Tennessee has, on occasion, done well enough in baskets that fans paid to attend post-season celebrations. Those were fun times. With the almost total changing of the guards (and forwards), March seems long ago and already has been reclassified as the good, old days. Before that, Bruce Pearl pumped the Vols up to No. 1 in the country for a few minutes and, once upon a time, fell one basket short of the Final Four. That would have been a first. The Jerry Green era still confuses me, but I remember highlights. In the year of our Lord 2000, the Vols won 20 of their first 23 games, racked up 26 in all and made it to the Sweet 16.

That was when Vincent Yarbrough and Tony White lit up the town. The year before was good, too. Tennessee defeated Kentucky at Rupp Arena for the first time in 20 years. Don DeVoe directed memorable accomplishments in 1978-79. His Vols whipped Kentucky three times and won the rejuvenated SEC tournament, in mothballs for 27 seasons. That team (Reggie Johnson, Terry Crosby, Gary Carter and friends) recorded Tennessee’s first NCAA tournament triumph. There was some excitement in Ray Mears’ 15 years. His teams never finished worse than third in the SEC. Unforgettable was

On a Sunday afternoon Sunday afternoons offer a selection of cultural, educational and entertainment opportunities that would have been beyond my imagination 60 years ago. Typically, after church we often join friends for lunch at one of the many fine restaurants in our area. After lunch, we can choose a round of golf with friends or perhaps a matinee cultural event like a Clarence Brown Theatre presentation or a Knoxville Opera Company performance. And of course, there are always good cinemas playing or interesting sports events on TV. One of my favorite Sunday afternoon pastimes is visiting area museums. And with the diverse shops we now have in our area, it’s easy to entertain yourself by just browsing through them in search of that one item you’ve been wanting for some time.

Malcolm Shell

But on a Sunday afternoon 60 years ago in old Concord, life was more structured in that you did about the same thing every Sunday. First, having dinner (lunch) out after church was not something you did because there were no restaurants. There was a chicken restaurant (Dender’s Tender Chicken) at Dixie Lee Junction, and the Duisen family ran a country-style restaurant where the old Court Café was located. But there was no local restaurant in the Concord-Farragut area. And of course, fast food establishments were still years in the future.

So, part of getting ready to go to church was to have dinner (lunch) partially prepared the night before, and that included catching the chicken. We generally had fried chicken and occasionally pork chops or baked ham for Sunday dinner. But my mother could fry chicken in a way that would put the Colonel to shame. In fact, if the Colonel could have fried chicken as good as my mother’s, he would have been a general. As for golf after church, we barely knew that such a game existed. There were no television programs that featured golf, and for that matter there weren’t many television sets. But croquet was a favorite pastime, and several families regularly sponsored croquet matches on Sunday afternoon. I usually participated in one sponsored by the Alder Thompson family who lived directly across the street.

Re-membered For I received from the Lord what I also handed on to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took a loaf of bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body that is [broken] for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” (I Corinthians 11: 23-24 NRSV)

I have said before in this space that sometimes I am in the slow group. I was first taken to church when I was 2 weeks old. I have been a Christian since I was 10 years old. I have been an ordained minister for 17 years. And still, the Bible can surprise me. Jesus’ commandment, after breaking the bread and announcing to his stunned disciples that “This is my body broken for you,” was essentially “Remember me.” As many times as I have read those words, as many times as I have heard those words spoken in services of Holy Communion, I never once “got it.” Re-member is the opposite of dismember! A broken body is one that needs to be re-membered, as in “put back together.” Jesus said, “Do this to remember me.” Just as this bread is broken for you, I am going to be broken for you. I will need you to put me back together because the world needs me! That was a commandment, not just for Jesus’ 12 disciples, but for us as well. All of us who claim Jesus as Lord, all of us who claim to be disciples are called – no, commanded – to re-member, as well as to remember, Jesus! And what, you ask, does that entail? It involves healing: the hurts of the world, the injuries of the innocent, the plight of the downtrodden, the hunger of the poor, the loss of the orphaned, the

tiredness of the weary, the sinfulness of the sinner. We are guilty of tearing apart the body of Christ – as guilty as if we had driven the nails into his hands and feet. We are guilty of ignoring the homeless, the dying, the foreigner, the despairing. Truth be told, we are all among the walking wounded, and until we fall on our knees before the nailscarred hands and seek our own healing, we will not be whole. And in order to be remember-ers, we must be healed. Then and only then, will we be able to begin the healing of the wounds of Christ’s Body – the Church. When we can learn that all of us who call ourselves Christians belong to the same Lord, and begin to live as brothers and sisters in Christ, we will be on our way. We can join hands with Christians everywhere, put aside our denominational differences and work together to the glory of God and for the sake of our Lord, for the easing of pain, the healing of the world, the end of strife, and for the remembering of the Body of Christ!

Meet the interns! By Ruth White Charlie Hamilton is a rising 9th grader at Union C o u n ty High School. If he had a time machine, Charlie would go into the future to see how his life Hamilton would turn out. He likes photography and his favorite thing about Knoxville is downtown. When asked what he would try to save if his house were burning, Charlie said he would make sure his family was safe and then get his pictures and medals (he is a second degree, level three black belt). Joshua Mode will be in the 10th grade at Halls High and is a member of the marching band. If he could have lunch with one celebrity, living or dead, J o s h u a Mode would like to meet Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. If he had a time machine, Joshua would like to go back to the 1950s and show off the technology of this era. If stranded on a deserted island, he would like to have Nicki Minaj’s new album, the book “Imaginalis” and a couch for sleeping. Leila Hennon will be a 9th grader at West High this fall. She lives in Halls and loves World’s Fair Park. If possible, Leila would like to have lunch with Adam Levine and Hennon if she could go back in time she would like to see the fall of Rome. In her free time, Leila enjoys volunteering at the art center. If her house were burning, she would grab her teddy bear and make sure her brother was safe.

Donna Mitchell is a rising 11th grader at West High School. She enjoys w r iting and would like to have lunch with Anderson Cooper one day. If she could go Mitchell back in time she would like to experience the 1970s. If she were stranded on a deserted island she would want to take along “A Tale of Two Cities,” the song “Rumble and Sway” by Jamie N. Commons and soap. Julia Grant will be in the 9th grade at Central High in the fall. She lives in Fountain City and loves dow ntow n K nox v i l le . She enjoys singing and Grant play ing the guitar and if she could go back in time she would like to hear Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I have a dream” speech. Julia likes photography and if her house were on fire, she would save a picture of herself and her grandmother, a picture of her great-grandfather and her great-grandmother’s necklace. Zoe Risely is a rising 9th grader at West High. She lives in Bearden and loves Market Square dow ntow n. If she could have lunch with a celebrity, she would pick Risely John Lennon and if she could go back in time it would be to Woodstock. Zoe is very talented and has been in a short film for a contest, sang at her mother’s wedding and enjoys rock climbing. If her house were on fire she would grab her ukulele, writing journal and songbook.

Gene Patterson: a great guy By Donna Mitchell

Shopper intern Joshua Mode stirs apple butter during a visit to the Union County Masonic Lodge to meet the Apple Butter Brothers.

Those who watch WATE, 6 news, are no doubt familiar with the polished anchor Gene Patterson; however, the Shopper-News interns now know him as the “guy that stuck hot apple butter in his mouth.” Either way, Gene Patterson’s still a great guy. He began his career as an editor for his high school newspaper, and then moved on to being a bartender to put himself through college. Patterson says he never really knew how he became interested in journalism, “it was just obvious where I belonged,” and as sure as the sun rises he’s been doing it ever since. The interns joined Patterson as he interviewed the men behind some pretty amazing apple butter (if I do say so myself). Throughout the process, Patterson moved about skillfully, but he still treated it as if he were covering his first news story. The manner in which he questioned the men as well as our intern group showed an almost unreal, genuine sense of kindness and warm in-

quisitiveness you can hardly find anymore. He described the process as “kind of like making sausage.” What happens behind the camera is all protocol for the finished product. Although the work is tedious – from shooting clip-byclip footage, trying to get the right angle, or fighting to get some good lighting – there’s always enough room for the warm belly laugh of Gene Patterson and all who have the opportunity of being around him. Aside from his career in journalism he worked briefly in government (deputy to Mayor Victor Ashe), but realized where he belonged and quickly got back to it. He told us that “it’s not about the money, it’s about the satisfaction.” That’s what’s key to your career. Having a career as a journalist has awarded him the experience of meeting great people with great stories and engaging in situations that wouldn’t have been possible otherwise. Patterson declared the best part about his job is that “you never know what tomorrow may bring.”

Making apple butter (and a TV segment) By Joshua B J h Mode M d For our first day at Shopper-News, the interns traveled to Maynardville where Gene Patterson was interviewing the Apple Butter Boys to learn how they make their delicious treat. They were very humble, saying each jar of apple butter sold, supports a pair of new shoes for local kids. Patterson talks to and

b f i d everyone b f befriends before they even start recording. The camera operator fi xes the lighting to be ideal for the area and then the process begins. They get multiple shots of every scene and step to make sure it turns out perfect. They take each shot “step by step,” said Gene. He watched along and studied the subject so when it

t i h came tto th the iinterview he had some great questions to ask and great ideas for camera shots. Afterward, Gene was willing to answer some of our questions and was very positive and excited about his job and our enthusiasm to learn. The trip was a great and unique experience that I will never forget.

Meet Jesse Mayshark

From ‘Teddy Bear Times’ to the ‘New York Times’ By Zoe Risley From New York to Knoxville, Jesse Fox Mayshark has an extensive history in journalism. A native of Rochester, New York, Mayshark made his journalism debut at age 8 with the “Teddy Bear Times,” a newspaper with a circulation of four comprised mostly

of comic strips and the occasional news story. He worked on his high school newspaper as well as the paper at Pennsylvania State, where he earned his degree in journalism. After college, he moved to Knoxville to pursue a job at Whittle Communications, which unfortunately

Even the ducks don’t like the water conditions at the lake.

Cleaning up Fountain City Lake By Julia Grant The Fountain City Lake (just don’t call it the “Duck Pond”) has always had problems with algae, but lately it’s been getting worse. As recently as five years ago, the Fountain City Lions Club (lake and park managers) poured chemicals into the lake to kill off the algae and other plant life. The Lions were ordered to stop because the chemicals were flowing into First Creek. Fountain City Lake has a variety of problems. ■ The lake has limited water circulation since the

redesign of the fountain. ■ A leak into the channel on the Broadway side of the lake keeps the water level low. ■ The bottom of the lake has a mossy, clay-like liner with large rocks, which has been there for some time. ■ If the algae isn’t taken care of soon, the lake cannot sustain life because the algae will have taken all the oxygen out of the water. Knoxville city government has allocated $250,000 to design solutions and repair these problems. For the people of

Fountain City, that means a lot of bake sales that we don’t have to have. The Sheriff’s Office will provide labor of some responsible inmates to help clean up the lake. Jesse Mayshark and Eric Vreeland, who handle communications for Mayor Madeline Rogero, explained that to fi x these problems, workers may possibly scrap the bottom of the lake, fi x the leak and raise the water level. The city will get started when the engineering design is completed.

closed soon after Mayshark arrived. He worked at a daily paper in Sevier County for a while before acquiring a position as education reporter for the News Sentinel for two years. He then became a reporter for Metro Pulse for five years, covering a wide range of topics. Craving big city life, he moved back to New York, this time to Manhattan, for a job as copy editor for the “New York Times.” He relocated to Gainesville, Florida, after two years at the Times, when the need for copy editors declined. He eventually found himself back in Knoxville with the Metro Pulse before becoming the communications director for Mayor Madeline Rogero in 2011. So whether he is handing copies of the “Teddy Bear Times” to family members, or navigating the back roads of Pigeon Forge, Jesse Mayshark has always led a life of journalism.

John Jones of Food City and Tim Coggins of Kroger met at the Morrell Road Food City to launch the Red, White and Food statewide petition campaign to allow a referendum for wine sales in retail food stores on the Nov. 4 ballot. The petitions will be available in Food City, Kroger, Publix and Food Lion locations on alternating dates and times. No digital signatures are allowed, and those signing the petition must be registered voters.

In eligible communities where the referendum passes, retail food stores will be able to sell wine beginning July 1, 2016. “Customers have told us repeatedly that they want to be able to buy wine where they shop for food,” said Coggins. The enabling legislation was a compromise between grocery stores and retail liquor stores. It allows package stores to sell beer and other items. Info: www.redwhiteandfood.com/.

Powell Business and Professional Association covered a little bit of everything from education to politics and beautification at the June meeting. Kim Severance spoke briefly about school board happenings and caught the PBPA up on the latest from the Powell Beautification Committee. “We hope to beautify the downtown areas around Emory Road to encourage continued traffic in the area once the new road opens,” said Severance. “The Knox County mayor’s office is on board and has promised assistance.” “This is a great project,” said PBPA president Sage Kohler. “In many of these

areas anything we do will be an improvement. Mayor Burchett will be our speaker in August and we will have an opportunity to talk with him about this.” Charles Busler and Patti Bounds were guest speakers. Busler won the primary and is unopposed for the 7th District seat on County Commission, while Bounds is unopposed for the 7th District seat on the school board. “I plan to spend at least one day each week in one of the schools in Halls and Powell,” said Bounds. “In Knox County we need to broaden our base rather than raise taxes,” said Busler. Teresa Underwood talked about the Powell July 4th parade and picnic.

Veterans: Sen. Bob Corker was one of just three to vote against a bill to allow military veterans to seek medical care from private doctors. Sen. Lamar Alexander said he strongly backed the bill to let veterans go to civilian doctors if they reside more than 40 miles from a VA hospital or clinic or have been waiting more than 30 days for an appointment. The bill also provided funding for more VA health providers. But Corker said the bill was “thrown together without any discussion (by the Senate) and would increase the deficit by at least $35 billion.” Student Loans: Corker voted for a bill sponsored by Sen. Elizabeth Warren (DMass.) to enable people to refinance student loans at lower rates, while Alexander vote no, calling the bill a “political stunt.” The bill would have been paid for with a minimum tax rate on those earning more than $1 million annually, leaving Warren to declare: “This morning most Republicans said it was more important to protect the tax loopholes for billionaires than to cut the rates on student loans.” The vote was 56-38, but Warren needed 60 votes to shut off debate. Corker voted right on veterans. The VA is a mess, but a seat-of-the-pants patch won’t fi x it. And Congress must stop spending money by increasing debt. The student-loan vote is a tougher call. Borrowers should be able to refinance at market interest rates, but most student loan borrowers are not creditworthy, and their loans are either from the government or federally guaranteed.

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

Fueling the future of music Knoxville is well known as a destination for jazz fans. We’ve got world-class artists such as pianist Donald Brown and bassist Rusty Holloway, whom famed trumpeter and “Tonight Show” bandleader Doc Severinsen has called “the best bass player in the country.” We’ve got the UT School of Jazz and our own Knoxville Jazz Festival. There’s no doubt that Knoxville is a jazz lover’s town, and there are many venues throughout the city where fans can whet their musical appetites. Wyatt Thaemert, who

Carol Zinavage

Carol’s Corner runs Lane Music in West Knoxville’s Franklin Square, wants you to know about one of the latest ones. He’s pleased to offer Lane’s new performance hall – a small, comfortable, well-lighted venue that seats 50 to 60 people.

On a recent Thursday evening, the Knoxville Jazz Festival Board Band provided an enjoyable, varied concert in the hall. The players – Tom Johnson on piano and soprano saxophone, Emily Mathis on piano and flute, Taylor Coker on standup bass, Will Boyd on saxophone and EWI (more about that later) and Keith Brown on drums – were clearly having a good time entertaining some 30 jazz fans. Brown said of the space, “It has a nice room size. We play unamplified bass and piano. The audience is in view, and they’re not talking. “It’s reminiscent of the small rooms and clubs where jazz was born. This is the way it’s meant to be played.” The quintet took the au-

dience through many ballads and up-tempo songs. At one point, sax player Boyd introduced the EWI (“EEwee,”) an acronym for “electronic wind instrument.” Blown like a sax, with a similar key-fingering system, the instrument houses a synthesizer in its small body. It’s capable of producing not only single notes but chords and effects such as slides, which Boyd incorporated in a very musical and entertaining way. Two of the players – Mathis and Johnson – took turns going back and forth from wind instruments to piano. Coker, who just completed nursing school, has been holding audiences in thrall with his stunning bass playing since he was a teenager. All in all, the five were typical of Knoxville’s jazz communi-

ty’s “cream of the crop” – polished, virtuosic and clearly in love with their art form. “Each time you play jazz,” said Mathis, “it refreshes your spirit.” Nelda Hill, founder and facilitator of the Knoxville Jazz Festival, sat nearby with a clipboard. She was constantly approached by enthusiasts who wanted to be on the festival’s email list. Obviously, they liked what they were hearing. Thaemert, who is himself a rock guitarist, was all smiles as he took photos of the players. Speaking of his decision to provide the performance space, he said, “Recitals and pianos go hand in hand, and since we are THE Kawai piano store in Knoxville, it was essential that we have a hall like this.” He firmly believes that

music education is for the whole family, not just the child enrolled in music lessons. “We wanted to keep the family environment. It’s so important. So our recital hall has an intimate vibe. “The experience of live music is going to touch kids in some way. They may love it, they may even hate it, but it’s going to affect them strongly.” Thaemert believes that such live performances are “fueling the future of music,” and he’s eager for musicians of all types to take advantage of what he offers. He particularly wants to host classical chamber music performances in the hall. Keith Brown sums up its appeal. “This,” he says, “is a very honest place to play.” Send story suggestions to news@ ShopperNewsNow.com/.

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

Brain tumors take many forms, cause differing outlooks There are more than 120 types of brain tumors. A diagnosis of any of them is very specific and individual to the patient. It’s also life-changing, life-threatening and often a shock. “Brain tumors can be insidious,” said Dr. Paul Peterson, a neurosurgeon at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center. “Initially, many people think their symptoms Paul Peterson, MD are a stroke. There can be Neurosurgery headaches, and subtle personality changes can occur even before the headaches occur. “But unlike stroke symptoms, which are sudden, brain tumors can enlarge silently for a long time,” Peterson added. Each year, an estimated 200,000 people are diagnosed in the United States with some type of brain tumor, according to research by the National Cancer Institute. Most tumors, about 160,000 of them, are spread from cancers in other parts of the body. These are called “metastatic” tumors. Cancers of the lung, breast, kidney and melanoma skin can-

cer are the most likely types of cancer to spread to the brain. Working with Thompson Cancer Survival Center, physicians at Fort Sanders use a combination of surgery, radiation and chemotherapy to treat metastatic tumors. “We customize a treatment program for each patient,” said Peterson. “It just depends on what they need.”

A smaller portion of brain tumors, about 40,000 per year in the U.S., originate within the brain. These are called “primary” tumors. Of those, less than half are cancerous, although they still may be life-threatening because the tumor presses on the brain. “Not all brain tumors are cancerous,” explained Peterson. “But benign tumors still need to

be followed and may need to be removed because of pressure on the brain.” After removal, most benign tumors do not grow back or spread further, but serial followup with a neurosurgeon may be needed to watch for potential recurrence. Under a microscope, benign tumor cells usually have distinct borders and almost a normal appearance, according

to the American Brain Tumor Association. “We do a CT scan and an MRI and these may provide good clues, but sometimes you need a piece of the tumor before you know it’s truly benign or cancerous. You can tell something’s going on but not the specifics about what it is,” said Peterson. “Some benign tumors are classic looking, others we’re not sure. Sometimes tumors can look benign but they turn out to be metastatic cancer.” A malignant primary tumor is one that is cancerous. These tend to be fast-growing and send out tentacle-like tissue into the rest of the brain, or shed cells that travel throughout the brain. No one really knows what causes primary brain tumors, although excessive radiation exposure does increase the risk, as do a few rare genetic conditions, according to the National Cancer Institute. “Some speculate head trauma can cause certain benign tumors, but how many times do you hit your head over a lifetime? One thing we can say is that there’s no association with cell phones or living near power lines,” said Peterson. “Really the term is multifactorial, because there is no one thing associated with brain tumors,” he added.

Symptoms and treatment of brain tumors Symptoms of brain tumors can be subtle at first, but they increase as the tumor grows larger. “The symptoms of brain tumors are weakness; headache, especially one that’s worse in morning; nausea; and vomiting, if the tumor is big enough,” said Dr. Paul Peterson, neurosurgeon with Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center and Fort Sanders Neurosurgery and Spine. There are four main types of treatment for brain tumors, and most patients receive a combination of therapies, depending on their specific needs. ■ Surgery – The goal of surgery is to remove as much of the tumor as possible without damaging the surrounding brain tissue. At the very least, the surgeon will get a sample of the tumor for a biopsy, but in many cases the tumor can be removed. The biopsy reveals whether the tumor is cancerous or not. ■ Radiation therapy – Using X-rays, gamma rays or pro-

ton beams, radiation therapy either is used to shrink tumors before surgery or as a follow up to surgery to get rid of any residual cancer cells left. Some types of radiation are used on non-cancerous tumors as well. ■ Chemotherapy – Medications that kill cancer cells are often used after surgery to reduce the chance the tumor will grow and spread. ■ Targeted therapy – New medicines being tested in clinical trials work differently than standard chemotherapy. Instead of killing all cells, they target certain types of cells in an effort to stop tumors. ■ Watchful waiting – For slow-growing tumors, this approach involves regular monitoring of the tumor without actively removing it. For more information about treatment options for brain tumors at Fort Sanders Regional, call 865-673-3678 or visit fsregional.com.

Gamma Knife – a treatment option Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center and Thompson Cancer Survival Center work together to offer the latest in surgical and nonsurgical brain tumor treatment options. “Thompson is just across the street from Fort Sanders, so we work together for radiation treatment and chemotherapy,” said Dr. Paul Peterson, a neurosurgeon at Fort Sanders. “Plus, we treat with the Gamma Knife, we do biopsies

and brain tumor removal.” Fort Sanders has the region’s only Leksell Gamma Knife Perfexion unit, the most advanced and widely used radiosurgery treatment in the world, which uses focused radiation to target cancerous tumors precisely, without damaging nearby tissue. This technology is most often used on metastatic brain tumors and to supplement traditional brain surgery or in cases where

traditional surgery is not possible. Other advantages to Gamma Knife treatment include: ■ Typically the procedure is done in a one-day session. ■ Gamma Knife is non-invasive, minimizing surgical complications. ■ Recovery time is minimal allowing patients to return to their normal activities and lifestyle. ■ Multiple sites can be treated during one session.

CENTER OF EXCELLENCE: ONCOLOGY Fort Sanders Regional and Thompson Cancer Survival Center provide the region’s most comprehensive cancer care. From diagnosis to treatment to rehabilitation, we offer care options not available anywhere else in our region. Working together to provide the best patient care that’s Regional Excellence!
