Rogero plans Lake update Mayor Madeline Rogero and members of City Council will meet the public at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 25, at the Lions Club Building in Fountain City Park to update citizens on the improvement project underway at Fountain City Lake. The 125-year-old lake has suffered from excess algae and poor water circulation for decades. Rogero and the council included $250,000 in this year’s city budget for improvements. Work began last fall to repair a leak in the earthen berm that surrounds the lake.
Central’s Sports Hall of Fame The first class of the Central High School Sports Hall of Fame will be inducted at 9 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 22, at the school. Honorees include coach Joel Helton, coach Bud Bales, coach Tommy Schumpert, Tony Cosey, and Lorie Compton Rheinecker. Tickets are $25 which includes breakfast. Info: J.D. Lambert, james. lambert@knoxschools.org.

See movies in a whole new way Nowadays, you never have to leave your house to see a movie. That’s what Paul Harrill and Darren Hughes are afraid of. More and more, film watchers are giving up on movie theaters – which don’t offer much variety anyway – and staying home to view either streaming movies or ones on DVD.

Painful vote brings cell tower to Fountain City By Sandra Clark Expect an appeal to City Council, but a new telecommunications tower on Ridgecrest Road inched closer last week when the Metropolitan Planning Commission voted 8-5 to approve the rezoning requested by Branch Towers. Neighbors battled hard against the 150-foot tower, and MPC commissioners debated extensively. But federal law leaves local governments few options to deny such towers, even when they are built in residential areas.
Mary Miller. The tower is being built for T-Mobile with space for two more carriers to co-locate. There will be a 40-foot vegetation buffer. The neighbors have 15 days to appeal. Kelly Ellenburg spoke for residents, and Don Lee added objections about storm water runoff. MPC’s new executive director, Gerald Green, assured commissioners that the staff will monitor the reforestation and landscaping plan to ensure it meets “the intent of comments made here today.”
The vote: Yes – Bart Carey, Art Clancy III, Laura Cole, Len Johnson, Rebecca Longmire, Jeffrey Roth, Scott Smith and Janice Tocher. No – Herb Anders, Elizabeth Eason, Mac Goodwin, Michael Kane and Jack Sharp. The Rev. Charles Lomax Jr. left before the vote.
Church and state and zoning By Betty Bean Last week, the Northside Church of Christ in Heiskell, facing a Metropolitan Planning Commission staff recommendation to deny its request to rezone its property from low density residential to commercial, removed the proposition from MPC’s August agenda just hours before the meeting. In deep West Knoxville, neighbors who oppose First Baptist Concord’s request to rezone 26.4 acres at 9635 Westland Drive from public institutional/planned residential to commercial are hunkered down until October, awaiting the results of a traffic study conducted while schools are in session that will consider the effects a shopping center could have on the neighborhood. Meanwhile, North Knoxville neighborhoods are organizing to fight a chain of events triggered by Centerpointe Church’s decision to sell out to a developer who also proposes to buy the iconic Howard house next door and build a “neighborhood” Walmart on its North Broadway location. A 24hour payday loan company is already under construction on the south end of the formerly churchowned parcel and a popular inde-

The MPC staff recommended approval with 14 conditions including landscaping. Michael Kane voted no, saying, “It seems to me there needs to be a lot more work on logistics.” Kane said the real issue is enforcement, not landscaping. Chair Rebecca Longmire pushed for a vote, saying MPC had “done what we can do,” and the issue should move on to City Council. Branch Towers will lease an area 100 feet by 100 feet and an easement to the site, said attorney
pendent Apple computer shop that has been there for 37 years will be displaced. Even though there is considerable commercial activity here, the developer will need to get the property rezoned to accommodate the new use. In Inskip, the new owner of a former church building long abandoned by its Presbyterian congregation and surrounded by single-family homes was successful in getting the parcel rezoned from low density residential to office over the protests of its nearest neighbors. Churches enjoy a special status under city and county zoning ordinances. The city allows them to move into residential neighborhoods, subject to use on review requirements. County zoning regulations are similar for residential neighborhoods and allow them as a permitted use in agricultural zones (use on review is required in city Ag zones). But problems between churches and neighborhoods are becoming more common as churches decide to relocate, expand or disband and attempt to maximize their profits on the real estate market. Former City Council member Carlene Malone says it’s time to reconsider churches’ legal status.
“We’re not looking at churches as perhaps they really are today. We need to realize that this is not the little neighorhood church that’s going to stick around forever. It’s a business model. Land is held like a portfolio, and when the time comes to sell, even though they bought it at residential or agricultural prices, they want to sell it commercial – at commercial prices.” Malone said that modern mega churches are a far cry from the traditional concept of churches that are active on Sundays and Wednesday nights. “These are not small uses – not to say they are bad things – but their impact is greater than the old neighborhood churches. The other thing is, what happens when they leave? Do we continue to allow them as use on review in residential neighborhoods because we think they have low impacts, when actually they may well be seeking to expand – and if they don’t expand, they may well move? Or is it time we start looking at them as the business model they actually operate under rather than looking at them as enhancements to neighborhoods?” The First Baptist Concord rezoning battle is likely to be epic. The property in question – at
9635 Westland Drive, 5.7 miles from the church’s Kingston Pike address – has a long history of zoning fights, dating back to 1988 when neighbors opposed to placing a Pellissippi Parkway exit ramp there battled developers to the state Supreme Court. It later became part of the city after a “finger annexation,” and attorney Wayne Kline has been involved at every step along the way. He is representing opponents of the First Baptist rezoning request and believes the traffic study will show that commercial development will be harmful to the neighborhood. “There’s lots of room for commercial at Northshore,” he said. “Why do you have to bring in a commercial component to Westland? I think a good traffic study will say you can’t put commercial development in here and hopefully MPC will do their job and make sure things are done properly. The purpose of zoning regulations is compatibility.” Ultimately, the issue will land on City Council’s agenda.

Welcome to The Wild Wood onstage When the 2015 opening bell rang at Central High School last week, incoming freshman Cian (pronounced Key-an) Bell was a bit less apprehensive than he could have been had he not already been onstage at the school.
Autism event at Barnes & Noble By Wendy Smith
Cindy Taylor
Cian has been performing for more than four years and appeared in three plays at Central while he was a student at Gresham Middle School. He hopes to join the Drama Club now that he is at Central. “I’m still pretty nervous,” he said. “It’s hard being a freshman, and high school is a whole different experience.” Cian says he prepares for roles by pacing and running through the script in his head. He thinks about his lines, scene changes and notes. So far he hasn’t messed up during a performance.

kid,” said Allen. “This is his third performance with us at Knoxville Children’s Theatre. He has been doing drama, and this is a comedy. His dad got involved as our set painter.” The play centers on the animals in The Wild Wood but focuses on Mr. Toad, whose passion for fast motorcars is damaging his wallet and his reputation. His devoted friends come up with a plan to save Mr.
Toad and his grand mansion. Fourteen-year-old Cian says Knoxville Children’s Theatre is great for child actors and has a very professional atmosphere. “The Wind in the Willows” is the 28th original play to be created by the company. Seven veteran children’s actors and three newcomers will be performing. First showing for “The Wind in the Willows” at Knoxville Children’s Theatre was Aug. 14. The play will run through Aug. 30 with performances at 7 p.m. on Thursdays and Fridays; 1 and 5 p.m. on Saturdays; 3 p.m. on Sundays. Prices, reservations and info by phone 208-3677. Location 109 E.

who opposed the rezoning request for the former Presbyterian church, said he’ll consider the Westland issues carefully. “We need to look at when is it OK to open up residential areas to commercial uses,” he said. The owner (of the former church in Inskip) swore that the use wasn’t going to go to any-
thing more intense, but we just can’t foretell the future. We’ve got to be very careful about how we rezone.” No one from First Baptist Concord (which has nearly 80 employees listed in its online directory) responded to phone calls or emails, but it is represented by attorney Arthur Seymour Jr., who said he’s not sure what the
flap is about. The Centerpointe site “is a good place for a commercial center. It’s an interstate interchange. Obviously there are some issues, and we’ll wait for the traffic study. But it’s a good project and a great location.” Seymour declined comment when asked why First Baptist owns real estate nearly six miles distant from its campus.

An organization that serves families of autistic children is partnering with Barnes & Noble, located in the Suburban Shopping Center, to host an Autism Family Fun & Safety Event this Saturday (Aug. 22). The free event, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., is open to the public. Art activities, sensory-friendly dance and music lessons, a book fair and a story time, which will kick off a monthly autismfriendly story time, will be offered inside the store. Outdoors, visits with community safety personnel, and a firetruck from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., will help children become more comfortable with safety vehicles. Information about special needs swim programs will also be available. Children with autism are four times more likely to suffer fatal accidents during childhood and seven times more likely to drown than their peers, says Veronica Cordell, president of Artistic Spectrum. The local nonprofit was
formed to provide fine arts opportunities to children with autism, but has expanded its scope to offer more information and events. A new website, www.artisticspectrum.org, received 2,000 hits the day it went live last week. Isolation is a major challenge for families with autistic children, Cordell says. “Autistic parents supporting other autistic parents makes the biggest difference in the lives of autistic children and their families.”

Zachary overwhelms opposition Jason Zachary scored an impressive win last week taking the GOP primary for state representative over veteran Jason Zachary school board member Karen Carson. He won in all but two precincts in the West Knox County district. Carson was backed by Gov. Bill Haslam and state Sen. Richard Briggs. Insure Tennessee was made the primary issue of the campaign, and it lost. The sole public official openly backing Zachary was state Rep. Roger Kane, who offered sage advice. Carson’s campaign donor list was a significant, impressive list of state and local VIPs. Even two Knoxville City Council members, George Wallace and Finbarr Saunders, were on it. Zachary had backing from Germantown state Sen. Brian Kelsey, who chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee, and several House legislative leaders such as Jeremy Durham and Glen Casada. However, his base donor list was not nearly as well known as Carson’s. Zachary had run a surprisingly strong race just one year ago for Congress and actually carried Farragut. He kept that support and defeated a much better financed and more experienced officeholder (11 years on school board) this time. He proved that highpowered endorsements do not equate to victory. Knox County Commission is expected to appoint Zachary as state representative since he is unopposed in the Sept. 29 general election. He may have a special swearing-in ceremony in Farragut just as Sen. Becky Duncan Massey did in Fountain City after her election. Zachary will seek a full term in August 2016, which means he will have campaigned for public office three times in three years. Zachary, like his friend Rep. Kane, came out of nowhere to prevail. He is a new name on the political scene. He will be a conservative voice in Nashville. A gas tax and Insure Tennessee will not have his vote. He supports Kane on restoring the Lady Vols name and requiring

the UT Board of Trustees to have a public forum at its board meetings. ■ The U.S. Senate confirmed Eric Satz of Nashville to the TVA Board of Directors on Aug. 5. The board now has nine members and for the first time in recent history not one is from East Tennessee, while two are from Nashville and Memphis each. Satz is controversial in Nashville but was unknown by U.S. Rep. Jim Cooper, who is a Democrat. ■ President Obama has also nominated Richard Howorth, a former mayor of Oxford, Miss., to a second term on the TVA Board. He has the backing of the state’s two Republican senators and should be confirmed. His term expired last May, but he continues to the end of 2015. ■ Former NATO Ambassador Kurt Volker will speak at the Baker Center at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 25. The public is invited. Volker, who now leads the McCain Institute at the University of Arizona, will discuss Iran, Greece and challenges for the United States in Europe. ■ Mary Costa was honored last Friday, Aug. 14, by Gov. Bill and Crissy Haslam in a private ceremony. She was one of 10 recipients of Tennessee’s highest honor in the arts. Costa was unable to attend the March 17 ceremony in Nashville, so the governor made a private presentation of the Distinguished Artist Award while he was in Knoxville dedicating the new Welcome Center at the Knoxville Botanical Gardens in East Knoxville (formerly Howell Nursery). ■ Over 300 people attended the dedication of the Welcome Center where Gov. Haslam, Mayor Burchett and Mayor Rogero spoke. The crowd was a cross-section of Knoxville. Former county mayor Tommy Schumpert along with all five living Knoxville mayors were present. Most of City Council were present, along with Sens. Briggs and Massey as well as Reps. Armstrong, Dunn, Smith, Kane and Brooks plus GOP nominee Zachary.
Dear God (and other prayers) So if Jason Zachary beat Karen Carson because it was God’s will, then it follows that God doesn’t like Insure Te n n e s s e e and strongly supports Karen Carson s c h o o l vouchers. And it confirms some-
thing we’ve long suspected: God really does favor Baptists over Methodists. In Nashville’s Legislative Plaza, word has gone forth. Gov. Haslam is toothless, and Insure Tennessee is a pathway to defeat. Never mind the myriad of local issues and personalities that had more to do with the outcome of this race. And, dear God, why should a minuscule vote in
one of Tennessee’s most affluent districts determine the fate of health insurance for the working poor? Oh, the irony. Also, we salute the school voucher proponents who stood shoulder to shoulder with public school teachers who will be hurt most by a legislatively mandated voucher program. Way to go, teachers. Guess you showed Karen Carson!

Carson Dailey has been involved in community issues for decades, and a South Knox advocate for longer than that, so it should surprise no one that he’s preparing to run for County Commission next year.
Betty Bean The timing is good since he will be stepping down from his seat on the county Board of Zoning Appeals, where he has served since 2009 when County Commission was hit with a court order that forced them to stop appointing themselves to the board, and to make it citizens-only. He was also one of the first citizens to serve on the county’s Ethics Committee, a position he says was very good preparation to run for the county’s legislative body. “I learned a lot in the past six years.

BZA is very interesting and I got a lot of training on zonings and how government works.” Dailey has served as president of his homeowners’ group – South-Doyle Neighborhood Association – founded in the late ’70s by Mike Brown, the incumbent commissioner from District 9 who will leave the seat next year. “When Mike Brown mentioned that he wasn’t going to seek re-election, we started talking around and my neighbors said, ‘You need to run.’ I said no, that I didn’t have the time. A few months ago, they asked me to run again. I said I’d do it, and so far there’s been a great response. I’ve got a lot of backing.” Dailey, a 1978 graduate of South-Young High School, said he’s running because he loves Knox County – especially South Knoxville – and wants to make sure it gets its fair share of quality growth. “South Knoxville’s still the biggest rural area we’ve got right now. We’ve lost our
Carson Dailey community schools. When they merged South and Young high schools together, the two communities went to one gigantic school, and it’s hard for a community to keep its identity when that happens.” The summer after Dailey graduated from high school, he took a job at UT working on the Neyland Stadium maintenance crew doing painting, pressure washing and general cleanup. That September, he got a job as a truck driver with Dixie Bearings (now Applied Industrial Technologies). He
moved to an inside job the following year and by 1981, he had been promoted to account manager, a position he holds today. He married Tammy Curtis, whom he calls his soulmate, 35 years ago. They have a son, Jeremy, who is a graphic designer. Dailey had a setback in March, when he was diagnosed with kidney cancer and had a kidney removed. He says the cancer was caught early on, and he feels pretty good nowadays, even though he had to give up a hardcore Mountain Dew habit. If elected, he’s planning to approach County Commission with the same determination he has brought to BZA and to his fight against cancer. “There’s not a better place to live than South Knoxville, and I want to make sure we get quality growth on the south side,” he said. “We’ve probably got 11-13 payday loan companies along Chapman Highway. I want to help get good quality businesses in here.”

Best and worst of times This Tennessee football team has the potential to do something significant. Oh no, it does not project as a participant in the national playoffs but it could win nine games. That would be the best since 2007, next to last season for Phillip Fulmer. These Volunteers could be precursors to really good times. If Butch Jones and his staff can coach as well as they recruit, this season will be one big step toward Southeastern Conference relevance, a future top 10 in the polls, even an occasional victory over Alabama, Florida and Georgia. The brick-by-brick building job was impressive. Now comes the harder part, go-
Marvin West
ing chin to chin with the big boys without backing or getting knocked down. Tennessee fans have waited impatiently for a return of the good, old days. Butch can only guess how it will be when that mission is officially accomplished. Keep in mind that I am only 81. I missed the first peak of the Neyland era and did not fully grasp Bob Suffridge’s description of 1938-40, SEC champs, 31-2 overall, 15 consecutive
games without permitting a point. This was the time of George Cafego, Bowden Wyatt and Ed Molinski, all, along with Suff, in the College Football Hall of Fame. I saw clearly 1950 and 1951, Doug Atkins, Hank Lauricella, John Michels, playing their way to the Hall, national champs, 21-2 overall. My view was unobstructed. It helped to have a cousin on the team. One year after Wyatt came as coach, the 1956 Volunteers were terrific. John Majors led the charge, perfect regular season, less perfect in the Sugar Bowl. I thought this was the launch of another dominant period. It wasn’t. The best of times turned into one of the
worst as Wyatt declined, the Vols sagged, Chattanooga staged an ungodly upset, single-wing tailbacks were hard to find and Ole Miss threw into the flat and exposed the 6-2-2-1 defense. Doug Dickey restored order. I still think Steve Kiner, Jack Reynolds and Jackie Walker were the best linebacker trio I have seen. That was 1969. Dickey went away. Bob Woodruff erred in choosing bright, young (very young) end coach Bill Battle as his replacement. Battle did fine with Dickey’s recruits. Those Vols thrashed Dickey’s first Florida team and walloped undefeated Air Force in the Sugar Bowl. Ah yes, those were good times.
government Erosion was measured by one less victory per year. Majors was Tennessee coach from 1977 through 1992. This was an up and down era. He won eight in his fifth season, nine in ’83, gave us the legendary Sugar Vols in 1985 and peaked in 1989-90. Simple summation of the Fulmer years: 100 more wins than losses, national championship, best of times. Butch Jones has heard about this. He may have seen video of Peyton Manning or Al Wilson or some of the great offensive linemen. Fulmer was a first-ballot Hall of Fame honoree. His teams beat up on Alabama. They had trouble with Florida.
Firing Fulmer without a plan led to the absolute worst of times. Lane Kiffin was a bad joke. Derek Dooley was … well, let’s just say some of the scores and stats were horrible, worst in the forever history of Tennessee football. Forget not that a really good day was spoiled by the chaotic inability to count to 11. Do remember that Kentucky won with a reserve receiver playing quarterback. From that mess, Butch Jones has rebuilt the Volunteers. You may not recognize alternate uniforms but results should appear more like the Tennessee scoreboard is supposed to look. Marvin West invites reader reaction. His address is westwest6@netzero.com.
Green reaches out to neighborhoods Gerald Green, the new director of the Metropolitan Planning Commission, is following through with his commitment to keep in touch with neighborhoods. Last week, he told members of the city’s Neighborhood Advisory Council that he’s aware of the “challenges” of his predecessor, Mark Donaldson, and he wants communication to flow both ways. “I have lots of years of experience, but I don’t know what Knoxville wants. You have to create the vision.” The Neighborhood Advisory Council is composed of neighborhood leaders appointed by Mayor Madeline Rogero. The group meets monthly to give feedback to the Office of Neighborhoods, bring issues to the attention of the administration and serve as a sounding board for city initiatives.

Neighborhoods “define who you are in the community,” but they tend to break down and become less defined as areas grow, Green says. He plans to look at ways to protect neighborhoods, which are affected by development along corridors. Certain businesses, like “alternative financing” institutions, ref lect badly on nearby neighborhoods. Communities like Fourth and Gill “pay the price” for easy interstate access with high levels of traffic noise. Balancing those issues is a tough job for MPC, he says.
Corridors present a number of challenges. He plans to look at ways to encourage new development and redevelopment of property along corridors like Chapman Highway and Broadway that will benefit nearby neighborhoods. Green thinks diversity of housing is one of Knoxville’s strengths. The current trend is a preference for smaller, lower-maintenance housing with walkability. That needs to be considered when corridors are developed because they need to offer walkability while still serving those in cars. Looking at Knoxville and Knox County zoning code is like stepping into a time machine, he says. The code isn’t keeping up with current trends and needs to be re-examined, but that would stretch the MPC’s small staff. Dealing with two sets of

ordinances is a challenge. One of his goals is to make the organization of the city and county ordinances similar. During his tenure with the city of Asheville, he spent four years on a complete rewrite of the city code. Such an endeavor here would require an enormous amount of staff time, but he thinks it may be necessary for development to happen “the way it should.” He’d
recommend hiring a consultant. “You don’t make a lot of friends doing that.” He took notes as representatives shared neighborhood concerns. Lauren Rider of Old North Knoxville says that those who want to open new businesses on Central have to choose between rezoning or requesting a variance in order to redevelop. David Gillette of Mechanicsville says his
neighbors want to know about possible redevelopment on the Knoxville College campus. Travetta Johnson said Parkridge residents are concerned that the new owner of a neighborhood church building will allow it to languish. Green said he would stay in touch with neighborhood coordinator David Massey and attend, or send staff members, to future neighborhood meetings.

By Cindy Taylor The newest, cutest fashion statement has got to be tiny tennis shoes for miniature horses. Elders at The Courtyards Senior Living got to see them firsthand Aug. 10 when volunteers from Shangri-La Therapeutic Academy of Riding (STAR) brought a miniature horse and donkey for a visit. Thanks to the invention of mini tennis shoes from Build-a-Bear and animal diapers, Flash the donkey and Honey the horse were allowed to make their way through the facility greeting the elders. “The horses don’t seem to mind the shoes at all,” said STAR volunteer Susanna Dimmick. Many residents had donned their cowboy hats and bandannas and had Flash, with Makeda Renfro-Sargent and STAR volunteer Susan- been waiting patiently for na Dimmick, and Honey with STAR volunteer Donna Philips get the horses to arrive.

She knows it is important to keep seniors actively engaged with animals. “One of our elders grew up on a ranch and she really wanted to see some horses, so we took a group to the Shangri-La ranch and they had the best time,” she said. “Having (STAR) visit us means those who couldn’t make the trip to the ranch will get to enjoy time with the horse and donkey right here.” Broggy says bringing outside resources into a memory care facility is a mission of The Courtyards.

Back from Belize By Cindy Taylor Lyn Oakley and Tere McDonough have been instrumental in leading a group from Fountain City Presbyterian Church on mission to Belize for 12 years. Sixteen others joined the two and all have returned with their own stories of how God used them as part of the ministry. This year’s trip proved to be one of the most rewarding for many participants. McDonough has had a heart for the people of Belize since she first went with her daughter in 2005. “We chose a theme for this trip of ‘Come to the water,’ ” said McDonough. “The
area we traveled to consists of a diverse culture and is very impoverished. Our team was concerned about the need for cleaner water in the village of Los Tambos.” Worship leader Oakley led a series of daily lessons with deeply probing questions and interconnected topics to prepare the group for the trip. “I encouraged our team to multiply what we have and be prepared to give it away, to let Jesus shine through us and to recognize that absent of God there is no abundant life,” said Oakley.

child from his or her donor family in Fountain City. The church donated funds used by the team to purchase 600 pounds of rice and 600 pounds of beans in Belize. Fifty families were provided with food and personalhygiene items. The church also provides scholarships to many students. “The school is now a focal point of the community,” said McDonough. “We have known some of the kids from the time they were young to when they made it through high school and went to work at a local job.”
I am not an alarmist, but I am alarmed. Scientists tell us that we are using (and abusing) the resources of the Earth at rates that are unsustainable. There is a limit to what we can stain, gobble up, destroy, without destroying ourselves. Even animals know not to foul their own nest! John Muir was born 177 years ago this week. He loved this Earth, but more importantly, he respected it and understood its ecological balance. He saw that we did not love Mother Earth as we should, and he foresaw the coming crisis. There are those who scoff at global warming, who don’t fret about our casual use of resources, who couldn’t care less about how much oil we pump out of the ground. However, there is a point of no return, a point at which we cannot reverse the damage. Then battles will be fought over
One highlight of the trip was the purchase of 20 bicycles made with funds donated by the church congregation. The bikes were given to students who walk several miles each day to attend school. “Each member of our team used their specific

water, food, clothing and shelter. This will not be a war, but very personal, local fights for the necessities of life. There will be extinction of entire species of animals, and that will ultimately include the human animal. There was a time we feared the destruction of Earth by nuclear holocaust, which is still a possibility, perhaps less remote now than in the last 40 years. One nuclear scientist said then that he did not know what weapons would be used in World War III, but he was certain that World War IV would be fought with sticks and stones.
gifts and talents all week to bless the people of Los Tambos,” said McDonough. “Our team owes a great debt of gratitude to the members and friends of our congregation for the prayers and financial support that allows us to continue to serve the families of Los Tambos.”

He said it’s been good for the elementary students to see the high school boys off the field and good for the football players to do something for others. Rosser says he wants his young men to know how important community service is, and he volunteered them for additional community service opportunities throughout the year. Rosser said the team has an academic goal of a 3.2 overall GPA for the year and he believes they will achieve it. And, of course, there was mention of a little football.
“Last year we made it to the playoffs. This year the goal is to make it to the playoffs and win a few games.�

Giving back to the community – through film and Hughes are guaranteed to keep showing movies – usually three a month – for at least a year. Hughes sees the project as similar to First Friday, “where you walk around, you go into galleries and see what they’re painting, what they’re sculpting. Movies and the cinema have become excluded from the conversation about public art.” “The community’s not having to do anything except figure out if they’re curious and show up and enjoy themselves,” says Harrill. Info: www.publiccinema. org.
By Betsy Pickle Nowadays, you never have to leave your house to see a movie. That’s what Paul Harrill and Darren Hughes are afraid of. More and more, film watchers are giving up on movie theaters – which don’t offer much variety anyway – and staying home to view either streaming movies or ones on DVD. They miss out on both the communal aspect of movie-going and, for the most part, the opportunity to see something different. Harrill and Hughes came up with The Public Cinema to change that. Rotating between the Knoxville Museum of Art, Scruffy City Hall and the Pilot Light, they are screening films that don’t play at Knoxville’s traditional theaters, and they’re trying to build community at the same time. “What’s really driving my interest in it is the communal aspect, the fact that however many show up … these are 20, 40, 60, 80 people that showed up because of a common interest in seeing something different,” says Harrill. “Getting all those people in the same room and getting them to meet each other and talk to each other – because they don’t know each other – is really valuable. “That’s something you don’t get from the hometheater experience; that’s something you don’t get from Netflix – or even a regular movie theater. It’s

about expanding not just your tastes and the movies you’ve seen but the people you know, enriching your life.” After a test run of a few films in the spring, The Public Cinema started its fall season last Wednesday at Scruffy City Hall with the short “Judy Judy Judy” and the feature “I Believe in Unicorns.” Next up is the French-Canadian comedydrama “Tu dors Nicole” at 2 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 23, at the KMA. Hughes says that once they arranged to screen at the three locations, they decided to “program for the
venue. So we’ve come up with these three different strands of programming.” The Scruffy City series is “Made in the U.S.A.” – “American independents of various sizes,” says Hughes. “Flicker and Wow” is the series at the Pilot Light. “We’re doing edgier stuff, so it’s avant garde, experimental things.” The KMA series is “International Currents,” cinema from other countries. Harrill and Hughes have been friends for more than a decade, and they’ve been kicking around ideas for a film club or film series almost as long. Harrill, the

Hughes is a communications professional for the UT Foundation and a film critic for niche publications.

The streaming service Fandor recently signed on as presenting sponsor for the Public Cinema, and thanks to it and the support of an anonymous donor, Harrill
Opening Friday at Downtown West, “The End of the Tour” details the five-day interview of author David Foster Wallace (“Infinite Jest”) by Rolling Stone writer David Lipsky. Jason Segel gives an incredible performance as the uncomfortable, unknowable doomed author, while Jesse Eisenberg is strong as the admiring yet resentful and often unlikable interviewer. Director James Ponsoldt creates an atmospheric ride that reveals the complex structure of art as seen through the prism of fame. – Mini review by Betsy Pickle

News from Office of Register of Deeds
Summer sizzles for real estate market By Sherry Witt The month of July saw a cont inuation of the healthy pace local real estate and lending markets have been setting for most of Witt 2015. While some of the data fell short of the peak 2014 levels set last July, it was nonetheless another very good period for commerce in Knox County. For the month ending July 31, there were 1,220 property transfers recorded, which comfortably surpassed the June total of 1,173. By comparison, last July saw 1,065 transfers. The total value of property sold in July was a robust $247.3 million. Although that figure placed July in the top 10 months since 2008, it was well short of June’s fouryear record total of $345 million. Despite fewer actual transactions, July 2014’s sales produced a greater aggregate property value, as al-
most $292 million worth of land was transferred. Mortgage lending in July was steady, but nowhere near record levels as about $307 million was loaned in mortgages and refinancing. Last July approximately $347 million was borrowed against real property in Knox County. Even so, mortgage lending thus far in 2015 continues to outperform the same period of 2014 by more than half a billion dollars. The most notable land transfer recorded last month was the sale of commercial property located at 9175 Kingston Pike near the intersection with Cedar Bluff Road. The parcel sold for just under $4.8 million. The largest lending transaction of the month was a loan in the amount of $11,364,372 against property at 612 Clyde Street in northwest Knoxville. As of July 31, there have been almost 800 more property transfers recorded in Knox County than during the first seven months of 2014.

The service opened with a congregational hymn “I Love Thy Kingdom Lord” with the voices of 50 members of the choir and surely the most talented piano, organ and flute accompaniment available, all leading the singing of the 375 members of the congregation. That worshipful beginning to the Sunday morning, Aug. 9, services at Smithwood Baptist Church in celebration of its 170th anniversary, set the tone for the remainder of the day.

By 1892 they had added a tower and a vestibule to the building and voted to rename themselves Smithwood Baptist Church. Dr. Gaskin opined that the Lord had provided for the church through two

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER
Maryville man having a ball after minimally invasive back surgery Work hard, play hard. That’s the Ben Garibay way. So when the 51-year-old Alcoa plant worker was faced with back surgery, he had a question for Dr. Joel Norman, neurosurgeon at the Center for Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery at Fort Sanders Regional: How soon before he could get back to playing basketball? For Garibay, Dr. Norman’s answer was a slam dunk. “Dr. Norman said it was up to me and how well I did whether I could get back to playing again,” said Garibay, who was back on the basketball court at Springbrook Recreation Center within a week after surgery. “I wasn’t running up and down the court, but I was walking and jogging up and down the court. The next week I began to pick up the pace a little bit, and every week I was going more and more. I think it was the rst of January when I played the rst league game, and I played ve minutes at a time. By the end of the season, around the last of February, I played the entire time in the last two games.” It was quite an improvement from when Dr. Norman rst diagnosed Garibay with spondylolisthesis, which is a slippage, or instability of the vertebrae. “It is most commonly seen in elderly patients as the joints between the vertebral bodies deteriorate and no longer maintain their integrity,” said Dr. Norman. “In Mr. Garibay’s case, he had a pars defect, which he probably had since he was a child, but didn’t cause him signi cant problems until he developed compression of the nerves as a result of this slippage. The instability of his lower spine led to compression of the nerves radiating down his leg and into his foot, causing a weakness of the muscles in his foot and ultimately leading to his abnormal gait.” Garibay’s back problems began three decades ago when he was working on a cabin where all the oor joists had rotted. “I was underneath the crawl space knocking out
the blocking to replace the joists,” Garibay recounted. “There was just one 2-by-2 brick left, and you wouldn’t think it would hold up anything, but when I hit it, the whole oor fell in on me and threw me to the ground. If those joists hadn’t been so rotten, it probably would’ve killed me.” It was the second time within a week Garibay had hurt his back while renovating a log cabin. Just days earlier, he slipped from a 15- to 20-foot scaffold and tumbled down several steps into the home’s basement. “That’s when I rst started having problems,” he said. The back problems lingered, but without insurance, Garibay settled for occasional chiropractic adjustments until landing a job in 2001 as a furnace tender at the Alcoa aluminum plant. He nally had health insurance, but the physical demands of the work took a toll over the next dozen years. “Somebody I worked with noticed that my foot was turned sideways and I was dragging it,” he said. “I was bumping into everything and my shins would be bleeding but I couldn’t feel it.” That’s when he turned to Dr. Norman, who rst tried controlling the pain with steroid injections. When that failed, there was only one thing left to do: fuse Garibay’s L5-S1 vertebrae. The minimally invasive surgery entailed placing screws into the L5 and S1 vertebral bodies, removing the diseased disc between them that was compressing his nerves, replacing that disc with a “spacer” or “cage” lled with material to encourage bone growth and connecting the screws to a rod to stabilize his spine. “This approach allows us to perform the same decompression and fusion as a classic ‘open’ surgery, through much smaller incisions,” Dr. Norman explained. “This generally leads to fewer intraoperative complications, and an earlier return to normal activity.” An early return is just what Garibay wanted. But his activity is anything but normal for most 51-year-olds. “Dr. Norman set the standard, and said
almost 30 years now. “I don’t drink. I don’t party. I just play basketball,” said Garibay. “That’s my one vice – playing ball.” “It hurts my feelings when they say, ‘I’ve got the old man,’” said Garibay. “But by the end of the game, they are usually trying to catch up with me. They aren’t talking about the ‘old man’ anymore. That makes me feel better.” So did the spine surgery. For the rst time in seven years, Garibay is back to sleeping in his bed rather than a recliner. “I was concerned that I wouldn’t be able to do half the stuff that I used to do,” said Garibay, adding that he had even bought a tractor lawnmower because he wouldn’t be able to lift anything anymore. “All I had heard were horror stories. Everybody kept telling me they would never have back surgery because everybody they’d ever heard of who had back surgery were never the same. But I’m running around lifting stuff like surgery never happened.” That’s what Dr. Norman likes to hear. “I think spine surgery should be performed with the ultimate goal of returning to activities patients enjoy,” he said. “Generally, the patients I see have given up on some activity or sport because of the back and leg After going through a procedure at the Center pain associated with their degenerative confor Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery at Fort dition. It’s my goal to see them return to these Sanders Regional, Ben Garibay is happy to be activities. I’m encouraged he should do well back on the basketball court and continuing a with basketball. His incentive in undergoing passion he’s had for nearly three decades. surgery was to return to the sport he was unable to play as a result of his condition. Who I wouldn’t have exibility like I had before,” am I to tell him he can’t?” said Garibay, who now works in Alcoa’s store “Mr. Garibay’s course couldn’t have room. “I’m still stiff to a certain point but I’m gone any better,” added Dr. Norman. “He’s getting back to doing what an old man should been very pleased with his outcome, and be able to do.” I believe he should be able to return to all What he’s able to do is run and gun with activity without dif culty. Cases like his men 20 to 30 years his junior, playing as remind us of why we went into medicine. many as ve games every Thursday night I appreciate the opportunity to improve until the parks & recreation league season the quality of life of my patients and it’s starts around Thanksgiving. It’s something a pleasure to see people return to the life the 6-foot-2 Garibay, who once had dreams they enjoyed prior to being encumbered of playing collegiately, has been doing for by pain.”
Meet Dr. Joel Norman local neurosurgeon and Seymour native Dr. Joel Norman is a local native who returned to East Tennessee after medical school and now cares for patients in the place he calls “home.” He recently talked about his journey from local boy to well-educated neurosurgeon, and the minimally invasive spine surgery that is changing the lives of his patients. Tell us your story – where did you go to school, and how did you decide to become a neurosurgeon? I was born in Knoxville, and raised in Seymour. After I graduated from Seymour High School, Dr. Joel I went to college at Norman MTSU in Murfreesboro, then moved to Johnson City to attend ETSU Quillen College of Medicine. I completed neurosurgery residency in Lexington, Ky, at the University of Kentucky. I’ve always had a keen interest in the sciences. I found neuroscience intriguing
and challenging. Once I found my way into the operating room, I knew I had found my calling. Combining my love of neuroscience with my love of the operating room, neurosurgery was a natural extension. What do you like about this area? In other words, why are you still here, instead of in a larger city? East Tennessee is my home. I love the scenery here, the people here, and the opportunity to give back to the community that raised me. I appreciate the hometown feel here and the value that word-of-mouth retains in this community. The greatest compliment I receive is when someone tells me they heard about me from one of my patients. What are some common problems your patients have, and how do you help them? We treat an expansive variety of problems from brain tumors to herniated discs. Many of my spine patients have seen several different medical providers and some have undergone several different treatments for their back and
leg pain before they arrive in my of ce. Most have complaints of back pain coupled with sciatica or nerve pain, typically running down the back of their legs. These patients bene t from the minimally invasive approaches to lumbar discectomies and spinal fusions. Which patients might be candidates for the surgery? The ideal candidate for minimally invasive spinal fusion is someone suffering from back and leg pain due to a spondylolisthesis, or slippage, of the lumbar vertebrae. This is a condition sometimes missed on an initial workup as it often requires specialized X-rays with the patients bending forward or backward to clearly visualize. Often, patients are pain-free while lying on their back, such as during their MRI scans, but upon standing their pain returns. Can you explain how it works? What are the bene ts of minimally invasive spine surgery? Minimally invasive spine surgery uses specialized technology within the operating room to allow for smaller in-
cisions and more precise placement of instrumentation. We are able to actually obtain a CT scan of the patient while they are asleep on the operating room table and customize our surgical approach to the individual patient, in real time. This allows for much smaller incisions and less damage to the tissues surrounding the spine. Ultimately, this approach gets people back on their feet sooner than is generally necessary for a more traditional, open approach to the spine. What makes the Center for Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center the best choice for this surgery? Fort Sanders Regional has demonstrated a true commitment to excellence in spine surgery, and especially minimally invasive neurosurgery. The hospital has been instrumental in purchasing state-of-the-art intraoperative image guidance that allows minimally invasive surgery to be possible. We have a dedicated team of nurses and technicians in the operating room who are experienced and specially trained to assist in these minimally invasive pro-
cedures. Post-operatively, our nurses are also hand-picked and specially trained in the management of our patients who have undergone minimally invasive spinal procedures, and we have a dedicated oor of the hospital reserved for neuroscience, and especially spine patients. What’s it like to also practice medicine in the place where you grew up? Many of my friends and family still live nearby and it’s been great to reconnect with people I hadn’t had the opportunity to see in the years I was away for training. It’s also been an honor and a humbling experience to take care of people who watched me grow up in a small town. I’ve taken care of my school teachers, old friends, and family members of friends who knew me in high school. I have a relatively unique experience in that I graduated high school with many of the same people I started kindergarten with. I’m honored that those people who watched me grow up trust me now with their health.
