50 years since Dickey debut If memory and the calendar are correct, we are approaching the 50th anniversary of Doug Dickey’s first team at Tennessee. Time for a reunion? Think about it – 50 years since the conversion from single wing to T formation, and the Volunteers are again looking for a quarterback.

Ten people have applied for County Commission’s appointment to replace Indya Kincannon on the school board and others may be waiting for the November election. Fountain City activist and former Town Hall president Jamie Rowe is lining up support, but opted not to seek the appointment.

School board ‘emergency’ vote under scrutiny By Betty Bean Knox County’s law director is taking a close look at school board chair Lynne Fugate’s declaring an emergency at the August meeting to allow a vote on Knox County Schools’ five-year strategic plan. “We’ve received a lot of questions and complaints from the perspective of open-meetings laws and whether voting on a plan that doesn’t take effect until 2015 fits the definition of an emergency,” said David Buuck, chief deputy law director. Fugate declared the emergency after a one-minute meeting of the board’s executive committee – Superintendent James McIntyre and herself – when Mike McMillan invoked personal privilege to postpone a vote for 30 days.
Training for LIFE. Group personal training
McMillan said he wanted four new board members (who will be sworn in Sept. 1) to have a say. Invoking personal privilege is an established school board practice, most recently used by board member Indya Kincannon to postpone a vote on a textbook-censorship issue in 2010. “With almost half of the board going to be new members next month, do you not think they would like to have an opportunity to take a look at this plan? What would happen if we didn’t rush through it? Any penalties? Any fines? Would we lose any funds?” McMillan asked. “This school board has worked on this part plan for most of a year. We’re about to start a new school year, and this is the time when people are planning. Hav-
ing our strategic plan in place would be very beneficial …” McIntyre said. The strategic plan, titled “Deepening Our Work: Excellence for Every Child,” has been in the works for nearly a year, but the final draft wasn’t released until July 31 – leaving scant time for interested citizens to study it, critics say. McMillan was responding to complaints that the present board members, four of whom are lame ducks, should not be setting policy for the new board. The plan was approved unanimously, but it wasn’t the only contentious matter at the August meeting. When asked whether all Knox County teachers had received minutes of meetings of the Teachers’ Advisory Group (which McIntyre formed in response to
Let us care for your WEDDING GOWN… before & after the wedding
Register by August 18!
teachers’ complaints last fall) in a timely manner, McIntyre said that all teachers had received all the minutes from all the meetings. Lauren Hopson, an advisory group member and a leader of the teachers who have been speaking out against KCS policies, approached the lectern to address the board. She stood silently at the front of the room until a security guard approached and ordered her to return to her seat. A few minutes later, McMillan asked Hopson returned to the lectern, and, struggling against tears, she warned the board that not everything they were hearing was the truth. She told them that advisory board minutes had not been distributed in a timely manner to KCS teachers, or even to board members.

This has made the experience fun from the start.

Red to the roots:
Lawyers aren’t supposed to forum shop, but it happens. And there’s going to be a bunch of it after the new “Red-to-the-Roots” judges take the bench next month, particularly in Chancery Court, Division II. Standard procedure is for law firms to send runners down to the courthouse to hang out in the various clerks’ offices schmoozing and biding time so they can make sure the right judge hears their lawsuits. Chancery Court, where cases are heard without the benefit of juries, has in recent years been blessed with three astute, fair-minded chancellors, so forum shopping hasn’t been much of an issue there (other than a plethora of divorce cases filed by lawyers seeking to escape the clutches of 4th Circuit Judge Bill Swann). But after last week’s election, lawyers all over town with cases filed in Chancellor Daryl Fansler’s court are thinking of ways to get the heck out of Division II
dicted a Walker win because his campaign clearly gained energy after the tireless Diane Jordan came aboard. But it wasn’t enough, and on election night, knowledgeable sources described the race as a contest between the “haves” and the “havenots” of her district, with the difference being that “have-nots” rarely turn out to vote in non-presidentialelection years. The most important races I got right were the re-election efforts of Rep. Steve Hall and Sen. Stacey Campfield. I predicted they’d both lose, and they did. In addition to being allies on the far-right fringes of the GOP (they were Tea Party before the Tea Party was invented), Hall and Campfield are close friends and tireless campaigners
who have lent each other a hand in past contests. This year, they couldn’t do that because they were each fighting for their political lives against the toughest opposition ever. Look for the issue of abortion to figure into the 13th House District race between Democrat Gloria Johnson and Republican Eddie Smith, who was recruited by state Rep. Bill Dunn. The vehicle for this will be Amendment I, which will give the legislature the right to outlaw abortion, even in cases of rape, incest or to save the life of the mother, if the U.S. Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade. And finally, come Sept. 1, there will be no Democrat holding countywide elective office in Knox County.

Briggs has not said if he will resign now or hold on to the seat until November, thereby enabling the commission to fill the seat. Not one of the 10 remaining commissioners lives in the Briggs district, so no voter would have a voice in choosing the person who would represent them for two years if Briggs fails to resign this month. ■ Democrats will now work to elect Gloria Johnson over Republican Eddie Smith. Given the GOP landslide in the judicial races, including the election of some less qualified candidates, Johnson is at risk in a November GOP sweep. ■ Congratulations to Nathaniel Allen on becoming deputy police chief at the formal installation ceremony tomorrow, Aug. 14, at 4 p.m. at the Civic Audi-

liam Henry Harrison, who died 32 days into his term. Just saying. You should also just say “no” to these fashion faux pas: tights, leotards, plaid Bermuda shorts, T-shirts that read “I’m With Stupid,” stovepipe hats, chaps and beanies. You spent thousands on campaign mailings, but it’s just as important to send out a professional thankyou note now that you’ve vanquished what’s his name at the polls. Use caution. It’s common for the brain to short circuit when writing political messages. A few horrifying real-life examples illustrate what can go wrong: “Get a Brain!
Morans” (sign seen at a political rally); “Respect AreCountry Speak English” (sign held aloft by a Texan who likes hyphens); and “No Amnety” (in fairness, we also oppose amnety). Finally, there’s “Customer Parking Only – All Others Will Be Toad,” which has nothing to do with politics but certainly makes you feel jumpy. Now that you’re part of the political elite, it’s time to cash in on the opportunities you’ve earned with your dazzling triumph. Suppose that in the months leading up to your campaign you had devised a method for reducing residential water usage to a level desert-dwelling Bedouins
would envy. Time to cash in. Imagine what a waterstarved state like California would give for your invention. Everyone from Arnold Schwarzenegger to Jack Nicholson would be clamoring to endorse your patented “Trickle Down Toilet.” NASA would be among the first government agencies to license your technology. The Trickle Down would accompany astronauts on the first manned mission to Mars. Before long your bank account overflows with royalties. Flushed with success, you aim for the top. If you can send a toilet to Mars, there’s a seat waiting for you in the Oval Office.

The scrum for state AG In the next three weeks leading up to Sept. 1, the state Supreme Court must meet and select the next state Attorney General for an eight-year term to 2022. It is likely current AG Bob Cooper will not be picked for a second term. He was former Gov. Bredesen’s choice, which the prior Supreme Court honored. Gov. Haslam has worked well with him, but it is now a new day, even with the current court continuing, and there will be a Republican Attorney General. Sources suggest it could be William “Bill” Young, who is the administrative officer of the Tennessee Courts, selected by the current Supreme Court. He is
a Williamson County Republican who previously worked for BlueCross. However, there are now reports he may have donated to the Ron Ramsey PAC that funded the campaign against the three justices recently retained. If true, that might deep-six his aspirations to be AG. Two state senators are also being mentioned. They are Majority Leader Mark Norris from West Tennessee and Doug Overbey from Maryville, who actively supported the three re-elected justices. Overbey is a highly respected lawmaker who handles complicated legislation. A third name is Knoxville attorney Herb Slatery, who is

Douglas Adair Dickey Woodruff realized the made the unlikely leap from idea of bringing in an aba walk-on at Florida to the solute beginner needed College Hall of Fame. Come support.

The old lawyer nessee was twice the high- asked Dickey to explain the light of his career. switch from one kind of ofDickey, once ninth-string fense to another. Dickey’s response was among Gator quarterbacks, was perceived as a coach classic: “It is not too comon the field when he finally plicated. You take out the got on the field. Old Vol blocking back and put in
a quarterback and go on about the business of playing football.” Dickey inherited a defense. Middle guard Steve DeLong and linebacker Frank Emanuel made it into the Hall of Fame ahead of the coach. Linebacker Tom Fisher would have been an all-American if he had lived longer. Joe Graham and Carl Ellis were scrappy tackles. Bob Petrella was an excellent safety. Ron Widby punted away many problems. Offensive Vols didn’t accomplish great things, but they tried very hard. Hal Wantland was the stuff of legends. Paul Naumoff, then a split end, eventually gained fame as an NFL
linebacker. Wantland, splendid blocker and better captain, was the original quarterback. Art Galiffa eventually won the job. Leake quarterbacked the upset victory at Georgia Tech. The Vol defense gets credit for the biggest play of 1964, a moment of truth against undefeated LSU in Baton Rouge. DeLong led the charge that stopped Tiger star Rusty Schwab eight or nine inches short of the goal and preserved a stunning 3-3 deadlock. Dickey said that triumph, oops, tie was “a giant step forward.” It gave the Vols a reason to believe. The spirit endured but bodies faltered late in the season. Ole Miss romped, 30-0, in Knoxville. The Vols also lost to Kentucky and Vanderbilt.
plain interesting. The rain crow’s proper name is yellow-billed cuckoo. They belong to a big family that includes the bird of cuckoo-clock fame, the Europe- and Asiadwelling common cuckoo. Then there’s their weird cousin, the roadrunner of our Southwest, famous for its exploits with the hapless Wyle E. Coyote. We have three cuckoos in North America. The yellowbilled cuckoo summers in most of the eastern part of the U.S., the black-billed ditto but with a little more northern tendency, on into southern Canada. And the mangrove cuckoo, a Caribbean bird, is found only in the Keys and southern coast of Florida. Though their songs are different enough to be distinguishable, they’re very similar in appearance. A look at your favorite field guide will show you what I mean by “similar.” It takes a bit of study, but they can certainly be told apart as long as a
person can get a decent look at one. You are much more likely to see a yellow-billed cuckoo here in our location. I spoke of getting a decent look at a rain crow – that’s not an easy task. Patience and luck are helpful. Cuckoos appear to be lanky, slithery birds that usually fly short distances from one dense cover to another and then become invisible in their new tree. They tend to forage by sitting quietly and waiting for a food item to give itself away by moving just a tiny bit. Once you spot where a cuckoo is in a tree and watch for a while, you will see it moving slowly along, looking for food but all the while keeping leaves and branches between itself and you, with only a single eyeball or tip of tail visible to the frustrated birder. Our cuckoos also nest in thick cover, in a loose platform of twigs lined with grass and leaves. How many eggs they lay depends on how much food is available
to them. They like large insects like cicadas and katydids and are one of the few birds that will eat tent caterpillars. If the right food is abundant the cuckoos tend to produce more eggs than they care to look after, and so lay a few in another cuckoo’s nest, or even leave a few in a robin’s or catbird’s nest. Such behavior is the norm for the European cuckoos; they lay their eggs only in other birds’ nests, like our cowbirds. Like a primitive South American bird called the hoatzin, young cuckoos leave their nest at about seven to nine days after hatching, before they can fly. They spend the next couple of weeks clambering around the shrubbery, exploring their surroundings, still being fed by their obviously patient parents. We don’t hear the song of the yellow-billed cuckoo nearly as often as we used to. The experts tell us they have declined in numbers by 1.6 percent per year over
50 years since Doug Dickey debut If memory and the calendar are correct, we are approaching the 50th anniversary of Doug Dickey’s first team at Tennessee. Time for a reunion? Think about it – 50 years since the conversion from single wing to T formation, and the Volunteers are again looking for a quarterback. What’s going on now is nothing like what happened then. Butch Jones has choices. Dickey had to create his. He looked everywhere for a quarterback, even in the team dining hall. There he found David Leake, a waiter. He became a pleasant surprise. Dickey was a pleasant surprise, too. So was the
The rain crow Some of the best memories of summer are the sounds. Who isn’t instantly carried back by the sound of an ice cream truck? Some folks recollect summer memories brought back by fireworks, parades or thunderstorms. For me, it’s nature’s outdoor sounds – the early-morning chorus of the birds, the lazy afternoon sawing of the jar flies, the nighttime singing of a thousand katydids. It’s definitely not spring, but a surprising number of birds are still here, singing their August songs. One bird in particular is known for its habit of singing on a hot, humid summer day, especially if there is some likelihood of a shower of rain. Way back in the middle of the last century, my Granny Collier pointed out the mysterious kow kow kow kow of the rain crow to me, coming from somewhere in the

dense green leaves, and she evidenced little doubt that the bird’s prediction of an approaching rain shower would be correct. It was a strange and haunting sound, something a person would store away and remember the next time it was heard. Looking back, I wonder now why I didn’t try to see the bird. We just accepted that sound as a normal part of nature, knew what it was coming from, and, of course, expected it to rain. The rain crow has always been a favorite, partly because of nostalgia, I’m sure, but also because they’re just
Fifty years ago was the beginning of great things to come. Dickey exceeded expectations. His six-year record was 46-15-4. He beat Alabama three in a row. Alas, he opted out. Going back to Florida didn’t work out exactly as planned, but in a really strange circle drill, all was forgiven and he returned to Tennessee as replacement for the retiring Woodruff. Dickey’s charming personality irritated some, but he was a winner as coach and athletic director. He raised money, improved facilities and skillfully navigated NCAA storms. Dickey made sense. If you are keeping score, he made Tennessee better. Hiring basketball coaches was not his specialty.
the past 30 years, a loss greater than 50 percent. But in British Columbia, Washington and Oregon, the decline has been a dreary 4.6 percent per year. Doing the math, we see they’re out past zero there. The western cuckoos are what the biologists term “extirpated,” meaning “gone.” That’s mainly due to the loss of their favorite nesting sites – cottonwood and willow thickets along streams. Dams, development and irresponsible grazing have added up to no habitat, and no more yellow-billed cuckoos. Our eastern yellow-billed cuckoos are not quite as picky about their nesting requirements. Although in decline, the rain crows are hanging on. I heard the song and then saw a pair of cuckoos in Union County in mid-July, apparently nesting. I wish them well. Hearing that song makes me smile just as much as the music of the ice cream truck.

At the ol’ ball game It was a beautiful night for baseball when the Tennessee Smokies eked out a win over the Pensacola Blue Wahoos. The game had been tied 1-1 and was in the bottom of the 10th inning when Smokies third baseman Christian Villanueva delivered an RBI single for the win.

No strings attached on back-to-school donation Love letters from God By Cindy Taylor
Random Acts of Christian Kindness (RACK) is just a cool-sounding phrase to some people. Members of Clear Springs Baptist Church take those words to heart. They have even printed postcards to reflect how seriously they feel about this ministry. On the Saturday before school started in Knox County church members held their 5th annual backpack and school supply giveaway. Church volunteers did not raise money or ask the community to help make purchases for the day. InVolunteers at Clear Springs Baptist Church assist students with stead, they dug into their choosing free school supplies to fill a free backpack. Photo submitted own pockets to provide free
backpacks to the 160 children who attended along with school supplies to fill them. And there were no strings attached. “This is such a blessing and will help us tremendously,” said one parent. “We don’t attend church here but they didn’t care about that.” Clear Springs Baptist Church will host its annual Trunk or Treat on Oct. 25. The current church address is 8518 Thompson School Road, and a new sanctuary is under construction at Harbison’s Crossroads. Info: 688-7674 or online at w w w.clearspringsbaptist. net/.
Civil War soldiers buried in Butcher Cemetery Butcher Cemetery is one of the oldest cemeteries in Union County and is located on property owned by the Mohlar [another spelling Moulder] family in the late 1700s. The GPS reading is 36.16.50N 83.07W [10], and the cemetery is located on Butcher Hollow Road. The property was inherited through Valentine Mohlar’s wife, Lavina, from Jesse Alec Butcher Sr. who deeded one acre to the community for a public burial ground on July 4, 1885. Later a second acre was added by a former slave, Samuel Smith, T. C. Cox and Sanford Myers. There are 277 marked graves in this cemetery. In cataloging the Civil War soldiers in this cemetery, Gay and Jim Morton and Philip Graves found these soldiers of interest: Richard Lee Tharpe (1850-1896). Richard is the son of Edward E. Tharpe and Ann Jane Willis, who were married in 1846 in Grainger County. Richard Lee’s father died when he

was 12 years old and at age 14 Richard Lee entered the service of the United States as a private in Company M, 96th Regiment of the Tennessee Cavalry Volunteers.

Children of Richard Lee and Nancy Adelie Butcher Tharpe: William E., Detester T., Richard Lee Jr., Robert, John, Bertha, Myrtle, James B. and Abraham H. This family lived in the Crooked Creek area of Union County. Joseph Evans, who is buried in Butcher Cemetery, was in the 6 Tn. Inf. Co. E.

You will do well to be attentive to this as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts. (II Peter 1: 19b NRSV) Nor nard, nor mother of pearl has skin so fine. (Federico Garcia Lorca)
I am not a morning person. I am not grumpy; I just wake up gradually. In college days, I was a member of the UT Singers, and we (all forty of us!) had occasion to spend a night in Memphis, in a bomb shelter built by a rich, eccentric UT alum. In a bit of Ozymandian irony, he had died of old age, not a nuclear attack, but his daughter allowed us to use the shelter during our stay. Our tour director had described the place as “Spartan, but adequate,” which turned out to be his notion of a joke. The shelter was elegant, up-to-date, comfortable, and stocked with food, televisions, ham radio equipment, a pool table, and separate quarters for men and women. We arrived exhausted after a long day which included four concerts, and fell into our bunk beds. At some obscene hour (seemingly just a few minutes after my head hit the pillow) an alarm clock went off, and one of the girls sat up in her bunk bed and said cheerily, “This is the day which the Lord hath made; let us rejoice and be glad in it!” (Which, in case you’re wondering, is Psalm 118:24.) If I could have gotten to one of the guns in that moment …. The other morning, I stumbled into the kitchen, as usual, to start the coffee. I glanced out the window, and there was, quite simply, a miracle. The sun was rising, but still out of sight. The clouds had snagged the glow, however, and the sky looked like the mother of pearl on the inside of a seashell: pink and blue and lavender and gold. I stood staring, lost in wonder, pondering whether to go find my camera and risk missing the moment. I decided to stay right there and savor the gift that had been offered to me.
One of my friends calls such occasions “God moments.” She is right, I think. My question, however, is this: What is God up to in those “God moments?” Is God simply giving us a gift of beauty, sort of like a Christmas card? Is God wooing us like a lover? Is God trying to get our attention to relay an important message? A call to duty? Whatever God was up to, it was a blessing to me. I walked around all day in the afterglow of that moment. I’m sure that others saw that glorious sunrise, too, but I still claim it as mine, a gift from a generous, loving God, who (like the bower bird I have mentioned before in this space) brings us gifts every day. Even Jeremiah, in his Lamentations, admitted that the Lord’s mercies are “new every morning” and “great is your faithfulness.” (Lamentations 3: 23) So, after that one amazing sunrise, I look for a repeat performance every morning. Not that I see a spectacular sunrise every day, but I “lift up mine eyes,” expecting wonders. And I have discovered a wondrous thing: when I look for little miracles, I find them! It seems that you find what you look for. Look for evil, you will find it. Look for grace, it will be there. Look for hope, happiness, wonder, miracles, or joy, you will find them, or perhaps more accurately, they will find you! Be alert to the wonders God does every day. Those wonders are love letters from God.

Sterling has big plans for ETABPA It has been only one month since Justin Sterling accepted the presidency of the East Towne Area Business and Professional Association. The smooth transition speaks volumes for the leadership of the group and the tight Justin Sterling bond many of the members have formed. This business alliance has achieved much in a short time. Sterling knows there is strength in numbers and wants to take this motivated group to the next level. He wants a true support group for area businesses. “Building a strong leadership team is critical, and right now that responsibility is mine,” says Sterling. He plans to invite speakers who will bring relevant content to the members. “If our mission is limited to monthly business pep talks we would be doing ourselves a huge disservice.” Sterling has lived in Tennessee since 2000 and moved to Dandridge in
Nancy Whittaker
2012. He has developed an understanding of how important the sense of community is to the folks in northeast Knoxville. Building permits for new homes show a surge in housing around the East Towne area with many of the homes in the $250,000 price range. People in the area have a good understanding of what they want and need. Working closely with civic and neighborhood leaders, Sterling wants to achieve three goals. First, he wants additional signage on I-640 to direct people to this growing area. Many people traveling through the area aren’t even aware of the shopping district. Second, he wants to improve visibility by keeping the brush cut back. His long-term goal is to have the exits from I-640 redesigned so there are multiple opportunities to access this area. Current and new mem-
bers will find a motivated group that has grown each month. Having an opportunity to introduce new businesses to the area is important to Sterling. Existing businesses are also given the opportunity to inform members what their business offer. Sterling is also reaching out to other Business and Professional Associations in East and North Knoxville. He plans to get the three BPAs together annually for members to meet and share ideas. The ETABPA meets at 8 a.m. each first Wednesday at New Harvest Park Community Center. Sterling invites business owners and managers as well as civic leaders and community members to attend. ■

A very good July for real estate markets By Sherry Witt The month of July was a productive one for property sales around the county, and it was actually the first time in several months Sherry Witt that activity surpassed that of the same period in 2013. For the month that ended July 31, there were 1,065 property transfers recorded in Knox County. By comparison, July 2013 produced 1,010 transfers. Fueled by some sizeable commercial transactions, the total value of property sold in July was also up from last year. Around $292 million worth of real property was transferred in Knox County, surpassing last July’s figure of $248.5 million. That puts total land sales here at almost $1.3 billion so far in 2014. Building off a June surge, when more than $300 million was loaned in mort-
gages and refinances for the first time this year, July produced an even better month in lending, with $347 million being borrowed against real estate in Knox County. This was nearly identical to the $349 million loaned last July. The first two quarters of 2014 had seen a substantial decrease in mortgage lending compared to last year, but the past two months have closed the gap considerably. There were two significant commercial property transactions in July. One involved the Sunchase apartment complex on Cedar Bluff Road, which sold for $26 million. Also of note was the sale of the Downtown Hilton on Church Avenue, which brought a price of just over $25 million. I want to thank everyone who voted in the county and state elections last week. Regardless of your affi liation or choice of candidates, your participation in this important process is greatly appreciated by those of us who serve in public office.

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER
East Tennessee woman ‘still Nana’ after stroke In January 2014, Deborah Grantham of Jones Cove, Tenn., 59, woke up with what she feared were the symptoms of a stroke. “I got up that morning and my left arm felt like it was asleep, numb, it just didn’t feel right,” said Grantham. “My daughter kept calling me, checking on me. She kept asking, ‘Do you think you’re having a stroke?’ I said, ‘I don’t know, but I’m getting a little scared.’ ” Grantham did not want to go to the hospital, but her daughter took her anyway. They arrived at the emergency department of LeConte Medical Center in Sevierville, where physicians confirmed she had indeed had a stroke. “I didn’t want to go to intensive care,” said Grantham. “First, I don’t have insurance, and I also didn’t want to be away from my grandchildren. My grandson is on the autistic spectrum, and I knew he was going to be hard to handle. I’ve never been too far from him.” But a stroke is a serious medical event. And after a week in the hospital, Grantham learned she would need even more intensive physical, occupational and speech therapy at a rehabilitation center. “They asked me if I would be interested in going to the Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center if I had
a scholarship,” she said. “I was very interested because I knew how good they were. My husband, Bill, was there seven years ago, when he had his left leg amputated below the knee. They helped him so much.” The Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center offers some scholarships for patients without insurance, provided by private donations and funds from the annual Patricia Neal Golf Classic. So Grantham spent another week away from her family, working to regain the use of her left arm. She followed up with four months of outpatient visits as well. The results have been dramatic, she said. “They helped me learn how to do a lot of things for myself, like how to take my bath. At first I couldn’t use my hand at all. But since I’ve been in therapy, I got back a good bit of use of my hand. It’s not perfect, and it’s going to take some time, but it’s so much better than it was.” Grantham said she has focused
on doing household tasks. “I have learned to use the electric can opener; I have made my bed. I am folding clothes, but that is still a hard job. They’re not perfect but they’re folded! I sweep my floors, wash my dishes, I have mopped my floor – that’s not easy.” Grantham said the staff at PNRC tries to make therapy fun. “You work hard, but you don’t have time to feel sorry for yourself because you’re so busy! We played games that were good for your brain, but you don’t think about what it’s doing for you,” she said. “The Patricia Neal staff was wonderful to me, and I would recommend them to anybody. I had excellent care. All the nurses came when I needed help. They were wonderful,” Grantham said. Today she is back at home with her husband and enjoying her 12 grandchildren who live nearby. “My 4-year-old granddaughter says, ‘Nana, let me hold your hand you had a stroke in.’ They don’t think any different, I’m still Nana.”
Deborah Grantham works with occupational therapist Tom Johnson on strengthening her hand while grasping and releasing objects. Grantham suffered a stroke in January and has made great strides in therapy at Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center.
Recognize the signs of a stroke FAST! The early symptoms of stroke are often overlooked or ignored. If you suspect that you or a loved one is having a stroke, think FAST:
F – FACE: Look at your face. Is one side sagging? A – ARMS: Hold out your arms. Is one arm lower than the other or harder to hold in place? S – SPEECH: Is your speech slurred or garbled? T – TIME: Time is critical when trying to minimize the effects of stroke.
Call 911 and get to a hospital as quickly as possible. And be sure your hospital is a stroke-ready, Comprehensive Stroke Center, like Fort Sanders Regional.
Stroke Belt keeps Knoxville doctor busy Ask Dr. Keith Woodward what life is like in the Stroke Belt, and he’ll give you a oneword answer: “Busy!” It’s no wonder – in 2012, Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center’s Comprehensive Stroke Center treated 455 patients for stroke. In 2013, it averaged 35 to 40 strokes per month. Woodward’s department treats about 100 of those patients per year. “Those are very high numbers,” Woodward said. “We are in the buckle of the Stroke Belt, and stroke volumes are high here. Of course, this is much higher than all other facilities due to Fort Sanders’ comprehensive stroke center certification and the Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center being here.” Too, the risk factors for stroke – high blood pressure, smoking, sedentary lifestyle and the Southern diet of “fried everything” – are all higher here. When Woodward came to Knoxville, no one could perform procedures inside the arteries of the brain. He was particularly concerned when a local high school football player collapsed with a stroke and had to be sent to Asheville, N.C., because that was where the closest doctor was that could treat those disorders.
“I decided to go back and complete additional training to perform these procedures in the brain,” Woodward said. When he returned in 2005, patients no longer needed to travel to get the best stroke care. Now at Fort Sanders Regional for a decade, he is currently chairman of its Acute Stroke Team and Medical Director of the Neurovascular Research Center of East TenDr. Keith Woodward says advances in stroke treatnessee. Woodward is boardment have drastically reduced the time it takes certified by the American to remove clots, often minimizing damage to the Board of Radiology and has the brain.” Certificate of Added Qualification in Interventional Radiology. In many cases, Woodward treats those Strokes are now the fourthleading cause of death in the United States. patients with a procedure known as meStrokes occur when blood flow to the brain chanical embolectomy. “We place a needle in the artery in the is disrupted. Disruption in blood flow is caused when either a blood clot blocks one groin and advance a catheter using X-rays of the vital blood vessels in the brain (isch- as a guide, until the catheter reaches the emic stroke) or when a blood vessel in the neck,” Woodward says. “Then, we advance brain bursts, spilling blood into surround- a smaller catheter into the brain to the clot. ing tissues (hemorrhagic stroke). Ischemic A pump is then attached, and the clot is strokes account for 87 percent of all strokes. sucked out of the artery.”
The procedure has come a long way over the years. “The tools are so much better – six-hour procedures to remove clots have been reduced to now commonly less than 30 minutes,” Woodward says, adding speed is vitally important when treating strokes. That is because the longer the clot remains, the longer the brain is without blood and oxygen. As a result, the cells in the affected area begin to die, affecting whatever functions that area controlled. “More often than not, stroke damage is permanent,” says Woodward. “However, it almost always improves over the first six months after a stroke. Rehab is the key during that period to help the brain recover.” Busy though they may be, Woodward says his days are not without their rewards. One of those, he said, is when “I can see a person unable to walk or talk, and 24 hours later, they can go home from the hospital.”

Luttrell sets music fest, cruise-in for Sept. 20 By Libby Morgan Plans for the Sept. 20 Luttrell Music Festival are coming together, according to event organizer Mayme Taylor. “We’re really excited to get Darrell Webb this year,” she says of the Grammynominated performer, who is scheduled to go onstage at 1 p.m. Webb is a guitarist, mandolin player, songwriter and vocalist, and he has worked with JD Crowe & the New South, and the Lonesome River Band, among many others. He replaced Dan Tyminski when Dan left LRB. Webb also has appeared on a couple of Dolly Parton’s albums, and played in the bluegrass band Wildfire with Phil Leadbetter, Robert Hale, Curt Chapman and Carry Crabtree.
Tickets
“Tim Lovelace has agreed to return, and Melba Greene, Phil Burnette and Wayne Burnette.” Also on the bill is Jerry Cole from Sharps Chapel. “Jerry Cole Jr. is probably one of the best bluegrass singers in the South,” says James Perry, local musicologist and radio personality. David West of Ciderville will bring his entourage, including the Chicken Man. A Kids Music Competition is open to all children 18 and under. Perry is scheduling the show and can be reached at 865-7426523 or jperry4631@comcast.net. The entertainment schedule is: 10 a.m. - Opening ceremony 10:30 a.m. - Phil Burnette
