By Cindy Taylor Halls Food City has been partnering with the Halls High School Band for more than seven years in fundraising efforts. Aug. 15 brought band members to the parking lot once again for a car wash combined with musical entertainment. The band performed in the parking lot, then gathered inside
the store to march around the outer aisles with an occasional stop to entertain customers. Halls Food City manager Travis Woody has been working with the band since the first fundraiser at the store and usually has the ladderwheeling job once the band is inside. Drum major Heather Trivett leads the band from the ladder. “The employees and customers
seem to enjoy this,” said Woody. “Many follow them (the band) around to watch as they march through and play.” Parents and band supporters were on hand to help with the fundraiser. “We call this our Food City Frenzy,” said parent Karen Stock. “The band plays a portion of their show while marching through the
store, and it is unlike anything you have ever seen.” Band director Eric Baumgardner, or “Mr. B” as he is lovingly known by the band, leads the way. “We get lots of help with this fundraiser,” he said. “This is not just about fundraising. It is our chance to partner with Food City. Those who come to help are paid by the experience.”
Council calls for review of cell tower rules By Sandra Clark
After stormy battles over cell tower sites in Fountain City and elsewhere, Duane Grieve has asked the Metropolitan Planning Commission to review the city’s regulations on cell tower siting. Gerald Green, executive director of MPC, said, “We’ll be looking at those things the city has the authority to regulate, such as buffering, setbacks from adjoining property owners, cell tower height and possibly looking at locations where cell towers are most appropriate.” Green said the need for towers is stronger now than in 2002 when
the city’s cellular communications facilities plan was written. “The information we gather may not be what we want to hear … increasing demand for usage leads to increasing demand for towers.” A spirited discussion ensued: Grieve: We need to clarify what can and cannot be done. Nick Della Volpe: The future looks grim … if we could have a cell tower every square mile or even two or three. That bespeaks of a nightmare city of porcupines sticking up in the landscape. … We may need a second resolution asking our congressional delegation for
amendments to FCC regulations. … Now seven companies come in to Knoxville with claims they need to beef up their coverage. Potentially 13 companies could come in and ask for their own tower. … We want our future to be effective electronically and attractive aesthetically. Nick Pavlis: I’ll support this resolution but am not exactly sure what we’re going to get out of this. Federal regs are mandatory. Brenda Palmer: Let’s not fall into a pattern of asking MPC to do more than there is adequate staff to process. We should say where this falls in our priority list.
Finbarr Saunders: I hope you study what other communities do – especially in the Northeast. I go there and don’t see cell towers, yet I have service. I know it’s not magic.

Non-renewed teacher holds on to hope By Betty Bean
Christina Graham, the popular third-year, non-tenured kindergarten teacher at Copper Ridge Elementary School whose principal waited until the last day of school to inform her that her contract was not being renewed, spent all summer applying for jobs and waiting for her phone to ring. It didn’t. And it wasn’t for lack of trying. Despite applying for nearly 40 advertised positions with Knox County Schools, Graham, who earned good evaluations and built close relationships with parents and students in her classes, didn’t get a nibble. Many of her colleagues believe she has been blackballed for her outspoken criticism of KCS policies, most notably the practice of subjecting the youngest students to high-stakes standardized tests. “I applied online, then I would print my resume and reference

She got an interview in Oak Ridge but was told that there were no teaching positions open. She ended up accepting a position as a teaching assistant at Linden Elementary School, where all the TAs are certified, and sometimes move up into vacant teaching positions. She said the Oak Ridge interview was an eye-opener. “When I walked in, the principal was great. He said, ‘So you’re Teachers stand in support of Christina Graham as she addresses the school the famous Christina.’ I was like, board.

‘Deadly Doll’ goes public Brooke Cox has wanted to be a writer since she first read about Snoopy in the “Peanuts” comics. “I loved how he would sit on top of his doghouse while pecking out adventure stories on his typewriter,” she said. “I wanted to create adventure stories, too, but it was before I could write.” Cox said that as a child she would hand paper and pencil to family members so they could write down stories as she made them up. After high school, life kept her busy, and Cox put aside her passion for writing. It wasn’t until she was watching her 3-year-old daughter play that Cox thought back to what she loved to do at that age. She picked up her pen once again. That was 20 years ago. “The words just flowed and it felt right,” she said. “That is when I became serious about my writing and realized God had called me to write for him.”
Cindy Taylor
Cox has written a novella, short stories and skits, collaborated with other writers and has a monthly column with The Christian Online magazine. She is currently co-writing a devotional book. Her first novel, “Deadly Doll,” was released Aug. 15. Surprisingly, Cox says she has a love-hate relationship with the subject of English. In school she was a math/science kind of girl. “I love the written word and can get lost in a good book, but I struggle with grammar,” she said. “That is my biggest challenge in writing. If I had to choose between diagramming a sentence and working 100

quadratic questions I would pick the equations and enjoy working them.” While Cox loves writing, she says it isn’t the right career choice for everyone. “It is a difficult industry and you must constantly hone your skills,” she said. “It is so much more than just putting words to paper. In essence it is an art form.” “Deadly Doll” was three
years in the making. Cox hopes to get into speaking in conjunction with her writing career and says she has even more projects bouncing around inside her head. During the years when she wasn’t writing, Cox often felt there was something she should be doing that she wasn’t. She says she won’t make that mistake again. “I hope to continue writing and creating,” she said. “I think being creative is one of the reasons God put me on this planet. I would love to be like Lucille Ball – intelligent and fearless!” Brooke and husband Tim have shared 29 years together and have one daughter, Sara, 23. They plan to celebrate their 30th anniversary in October with a vow renewal on a beach. Cox will officially launch her novel with a book signing 2-4 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 19, at Beaver Dam Baptist Church. “Deadly Doll” is available on Amazon.

believe how different the atmosphere is. Oak Ridge is like heaven, compared to Knox County.” Graham works at Linden from 7:45 to 11:30 a.m. and at an after-school program in Karns from 2 to 6 p.m. The reasons for what happened to Graham are murky. Non-tenured teachers can be fired at will, but principals are technically required to tell them why they are losing their jobs. Graham said that Copper Ridge principal Kathy Castenir refused to give her a reason and that the human resources administrator who was present when Graham got the ax said she wasn’t entitled to an explanation. Castenir retired this summer with no advance notice. Lauren Hopson, president of the Knox County Education Association, says Castenir’s actions violated KCS procedure and that the Legislature has eroded teachers’ due-process rights and subjected them to “the whim of a principal.” “This process has been eroded by our Legislature in recent years because of the erroneous belief that due process protected bad teachers. I still believe most principals are following KCS procedure in notifying teachers of deficiencies before they decide to non-renew them. However, it is clear that policy was not followed in Christina’s case. “Administration thought nobody, co-workers, parents, or students, would care, but she was a good teacher, and they were wrong.”
Regas building Becky Wade, director of community development, said no, but the grant to the Knoxville Leadership Foundation, headed by Christopher Martin, is “program income” from funds repaid from earlier grants. George Wallace said, “This is unusual. What is the economic development?” Nonprofits are not eligible for the program but Wade said, “We valued this project” because it restored the Regas Building, a very important building to Knoxville’s history; it’s in an area that’s improving; it’s housing the Alliance for Better Non-Profits – seven groups with 60 employees there daily – and installing a training room and conference center to bring other folks on site. “It’s a five-year forgivable loan,” she said. “We’ll put a

The original five-story Harris Building was built in 1890.” Façade work will be done on the Magnolia Avenue and Gay Street sides. “We are refurbishing this building. … We’re adding an elevator; all restroom facilities will be accessible. The greater purpose of this project is the co-location of offices. “The Alliance for Better Non-Profits will train others and promote collaboration. … We’ll help them get stronger and better at what they do. “There’s a lot of value to this project besides the façade.”

Youth help share the harvest Cross Roads Presbyterian Church has brought together families, businesses and individuals to support a community food pantry that’s a living tribute to one of the founders, the late Joe Smelser. The Halls Welfare Ministry food pantry serves 175 families per month with canned goods, bread and boxed foods and this year, fresh produce. The Cross Roads congre-
gation built three raisedbed gardens to grow fresh vegetables that would benefit the families served through the ministry. The ministry became a true community project when Hallsdale Powell Utility District and the Halls Nursery donated truckloads of topsoil to fill the beds. Church members donated and planted tomatoes, zucchini, squash, peppers, eggplant and cucumbers.
The church youth have gotten involved and continue to support the project by weeding and watering the garden. They also help distribute fresh vegetables at the food pantry. Cross Roads’ ministry gives the community members the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of fresh produce, and church members will feed Jesus’ sheep one tomato and zucchini at a time.

Things that happened, things to come Here’s what has happened … Tennessee has recruited boldly, among the best in college football, not far behind Alabama and Georgia. Tennessee has prepared, physically and mentally, as if it means business. Butch Jones is a motivator. This team has terrific potential, including stars. Butch has built, brick by brick as he likes to say, decent depth. Most reserves still need experience, but he is fully aware that fine freshmen can play. Sobering it is that Butch has defeated one opponent, South Carolina, that was thought to be better than the Vols. He has lost to one, Florida, that wasn’t

as good. Some of the losing margins were worse than expected. Here are points to ponder … Football is a relatively simple activity, three or four levels below brain surgery, French cooking and rocket science. Football is mostly about line play – which most of us don’t see or understand unless there are bad busts or
holding penalties that nullify touchdowns. I know you know big plays come from playmakers. The Vols have several. It is possible that sometime soon a receiver will make a big play. Here’s what will happen … Starting the second Saturday in September and maybe the first, good defensive coaches will crowd the line of scrimmage, assign a spy to monitor Joshua Dobbs and force him to throw the football. If his accuracy has really improved, if he can identify and hit receivers downfield and if they catch it, defenses will be forced to adjust and there will be more
room to run. You may even think the offensive line has improved. Here’s where we were when we last were looking … Dobbs made several excellent plays at South Carolina. It took defensive pressure to win the game. In the most crucial assignment of 2014, Vanderbilt and the challenge of bowl eligibility, Dobbs was considerably less than awesome. Most Tennessee fans have conveniently forgotten how close the Vols were to a devastating defeat that would have changed the course of history. Dobbs and the team, offense and defense, were outstanding for most of three
quarters against Iowa. I haven’t decided whether the Vols were THAT good or Iowa was THAT slow and disinterested. We know the Hawkeyes were disappointed to be in the Gator Bowl. We know Tennessee was happy to be in any bowl and that the Gator was one step up from deserved. The romp was a delight, but I still don’t know what it was that we saw. Here’s what may happen … As usual, Florida is a pivotal game. If the Vols, at long last, whip the Gators, really good things can follow. If they lose again, adjust dreams downward. Immediately. Before Arkansas arrives at
Neyland Stadium. Optimistic forecast: The Vols are good enough to hang in there against all SEC foes. Cautious forecast: Alabama has uncertainty at quarterback but more talent across the board. Georgia has a couple of holes to fill, a better running back and probably more overall ability. Arkansas is much like Tennessee, maybe yes, maybe no. Missouri success is hard to explain. Could be coaching. Eight Tennessee wins would be progress. Nine would be very good. Ten would be great. Hedge your bets. Marvin West invites reader reaction. His address is westwest6@netzero.com.

He is unopposed in the Sept. 29 general election. He says he was led by the Lord and encouraged by members of his church, First Baptist Concord, to pursue office.

Those funds, along with Tennessee’s $600 million surplus, should cover “dire needs.” Extras, like greenways and sidewalks, wouldn’t fall into that category. He’s also against Insure Tennessee, which would rely on money borrowed by the federal government, he says. He acknowledges that the state needs to seek a solution for the hundreds of thousands of working poor who can’t afford medical insurance. Many of them simply don’t want coverage, he says. He didn’t when he was younger. He hopes healthcare and business professionals and the Legislature can come together to discuss creative
solutions, like telemedicine, which diagnoses patients via FaceTime or Skype. As with roads, Zachary would prefer that the federal dollars for healthcare come in the form of block grants that would allow states to create their own programs. One of his tasks over the coming weeks is to build relationships. Leadership is influence, and that’s accomplished by building relationships with constituents and other leaders. Reps. Eddie Smith and Roger Kane and Sen. Frank Niceley are a few who have already reached out to him. He plans to get feedback from constituents at town hall meetings. He needs to be a listener, he says. “It will be important for me to fill in knowledge gaps.”

There’s http://johndking. com, which advertises his multiple careers as an actor, model, voice talent and speaker and includes a clip

There’s magnoliawindowcompany.com, advertising the company of which he’s the president, owner and spokesmodel.

against Alexander. “I saw him on swearingin day and he just flat asked me, ‘Can you help me get a county job?’ He floated a resume around the courthouse.” Anders dismissed the notion that he’s been in office too long and offers the reminder that the voters approved the notion that the partial term he served from 2008 to 2010 doesn’t count toward his two-term limit. “The voters decided to stagger commission terms by knocking the commission size down from 19 to 11. The public decided it, and there’s not a question that it’s legal. I think I’ve done a good job. Of the seven years I’ve been here, four of them have been in leadership.” He said he’s still got things he wants to do, like working on a countywide fire service. “I’m not in the business of making enemies,” he said, “but (King’s supporters) just don’t care for me, I guess.”

My favorite example of shortsighted planning is the waterfront of downtown Knoxville. Think about it. If you were starting over, would you build the City County Building on some of the most valuable real estate in town? (Why should politicians and government employees get the best views of the river?) Also, on the riverfront west of downtown, Knoxville has a college football stadium, a basketball arena and a sewage-treatment plant. Even worse, much of the remaining shoreline between downtown and Alcoa Highway is paved over with a four-lane highway (Neyland Drive). Of course,
Volunteer Landing Park and Neyland Greenway are jewels of the city, but they often seem like afterthoughts, squeezed onto leftover land that couldn’t be used for anything else. Great cities inspire and implement great ideas. Building these large civic buildings and highways on such prime real estate hindered downtown development, restricts the tax base and just doesn’t make sense. We can do better. At this point, what is the most cost-effective way for our local governments to improve on these past mistakes? More parks and greenways. Parks aren’t just pretty. They’re good business. You don’t have to be a tree-hugger to understand the economic benefits parks and green space bring the community at an affordable cost (see Chattanooga). Surveys show that relocating business and families are seeking communities with sidewalks, walking trails and bicycle paths. Connecting community infrastructure (neighborhoods, schools, and businesses) with a greenway system is a costeffective way to raise property values, encourage development and improve the health of a community. (Besides, adding sidewalks and bike lanes to a major road project is often little more than a rounding error in the total cost of the project.) Thankfully, under Mayor

Parks and greenways: pro-neighborhood, pro-business We live in one of the most scenic areas in the country. With the Great Smoky Mountains, the Cumberland Plateau and countless rivers and streams in between, our region is perhaps best known for its ridges, waterways and (of course) Dolly Parton. Yet, too often our local governments have made shortsighted decisions that fail to take advantage of our area’s natural beauty. In fact, more often than not, we’ve taken it for granted.

County Clerk Foster Arnett on Muslims, which triggered a negative backlash on Arnett. What is significant here is that the local Democratic Party is actually doing something in pointing out weaknesses of GOP officeholders. Generally the local Democratic Party gives GOP officeholders a pass on shortcomings that occur. In a viable two-party system, both parties should be debating and discussing the actions of the other. Whether this comment on Arnett is the start of a local Democratic effort to point out shortcomings among other Republican officeholders is unknown. Certainly the Democrats could have a field day with Arnett over his failure to collect all the hotel taxes, but they have been silent. Arnett’s answers to questions from Knox County Commission have been weak and inadequate. Some would say even embarrassing in terms of their inadequacy. ■ When Ryan Haynes resigned his House seat he also created a vacancy in the leadership of the Knox County delegation.

By Anne Hart Most people would have been down for the count, but former Knox County Law Director Charlie Maner most assuredly isn’t one of them. Maner was just 41 in December 1982 when a massive stroke paralyzed the left side of his body. He spent nearly a year in the hospital and at the Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center. Since then he has fought his way through cancer, a heart attack, a hip replacement and diabetes and is still undefeated. At age 74, and a resident of Shannondale Health Care Center, he’s as sharp as ever, reads voraciously and although in a wheelchair as a result of the stroke, manages to travel Shannondale’s halls to greet visitors in the dining room with his familiar big grin and warm hugs. After all he’s been through, Charlie is still Charlie. He loves to reminisce about old times and the characters who inhabited the old Knox County Courthouse and the City County Building during the many years he spent there – first as an attorney with his dad, Charles A. Maner Sr., and then during the 11 years he served as the county’s highly respected chief attorney, always a commanding presence in his trademark cowboy boots, big brass belt buckle and bowtie. Turns out he didn’t always dress with such aplomb, though. At his side throughout it all has been the woman he calls his “former wife and best friend,” Corky Brooks, and she spills the beans:
A postcard from one of Charlie Maner’s campaigns for Knox County Law Director shows Charlie and Corky with their children, Brooke and Chip.
Corky and Charlie today
“Charlie was something of a hippie in the early days, with long hair and a Fu Manchu mustache. And then people starting talking to him about running for law director. One day he came home with short hair and no mustache and wearing a suit. That’s when I knew he had made the decision to run.” Speaking of those times, Maner calls former Knox County Executive Dwight Kessel “the best county administrator we have ever had.” He has fond memories of former county Finance Director Herbert Acuff, who “always knew where every penny was,” and he could fill a book with tales about Knox County’s colorful sheriff from those days, the late Joe Jenkins. But Maner’s interest in the goings-on of Knox County government isn’t all in the past. He doesn’t hesitate to pick up the phone and chat with current Law Director Bud Armstrong. When daughter Brooke Anna Maner learned her
dad was calling Armstrong, she wrote an email expressing appreciation to Armstrong “for your patience and respect in taking his calls and making him feel as if he is still a part of the office he was so proud to serve,” adding, “apparently he takes that Law Director Emeritus pretty seriously!” Armstrong quickly responded to Brooke that her dad “has earned the right to talk to me. We are dear friends, Carter boys and all (both men are graduates of Carter High School). It is a pleasure to hear from him. You should be very proud of your father, then and now. “He’s my hero,” Armstrong says. Charlie always enjoys time with his longtime friends, Jim Justice and Pat Robinette, who visit regularly with books and pizzas, but would quickly acknowledge that his close-knit family is the glue that has held him together all these years. Brooke, now a first-grade teacher at Farragut Elementary School, was in the third grade when her Dad was
Chip and Brooke Maner all grown up. stricken. Today she lives just a few blocks from Shannondale and Charlie says, “She tells me that when she drives by my window on the way to school in the mornings if my light is on she waves to me.” Charlie’s prize possession is a dog-eared copy of a book authored by Brooke. It is filled with several generations of family photos and clever inscriptions and is titled “The Life and Times of a Wannabe Curmudgeon,” in a nod to Charlie’s wry sense of humor. Brooke is the mother of Eric Bledsoe, 22 and a college student. Eric is the light of his grandfather’s eye. “I call him my GREAT grandson,” Charlie says. The two are very close. Son Chip, in the sixth grade when his dad was stricken, moved to Wyoming for a few years and graduated from the University of Wyoming. “He wanted to be a cowboy, but he came back home, and since there

The two have maintained their close bond through good times and bad. Now a retired Knox County schoolteacher, to Charlie she’s still the girl he fell in love with when she was just 15 years old. The two met when she “worked the curb” at Helma’s Restaurant one summer and he had a summer job with East Knox Utility District. “He drank a lot of lemonade that summer,” Corky recalls with a laugh.

Beginning again By Cindy Taylor With the beginning of a new school year and fall just around the corner, Central Baptist Church of Fountain City decided to shake things up a bit. The church began offering many new options for adults, students and children on Aug. 12. The Rev. Bob Robinson is associate pastor of music and worship at the church. “Through the years, churches have traditionally met midweek for prayer and
Bible study,” he said. “That continues at CBCFC, combined with an exciting format that includes food, fun, fellowship and Bible-study classes for the entire family.” Wednesday evenings will begin with a reasonably priced catered meal from various providers. Robinson says the meal will provide an excellent time to relax, catch one’s breath from the day’s hectic schedule and visit with family and friends.
FAITH NOTES
Following the meal there will be a wide variety of activities and studies for every family member. Age-appropriate children’s music programs will teach voice and instruments. There will be mission studies, Bible drill activities and large-group Bible studies for youth combined with small-group discussions and games. Adults will have a range of options including classes on divorce care, parenting as Christ and a prayer service/
Bible study. The adult handbell choir and sanctuary choir rehearsals round out the evening’s opportunities. Robinson says that perhaps Wednesday evenings at Central Baptist can best be described by listening. “You will hear the clink of silverware mixed with quiet conversations, the delightful voices of children singing, the laughter of youth as they discover new truths and the sweet expectant prayers of all ages – sounds that are reminders of home.” Central Baptist Church of Fountain City is at 5364 N. Broadway. Info: www.cbcfc. org.

There are advantages and disadvantages, I am aware. A horse has to be fed and curried. It has to be exercised. It has to have veterinary care (and that requires a house call (barn call?), not an office visit. It has to have special shoes. It has to have a barn with a stall, and that has to be cleaned out. But a horse has one big advantage over a car. It will always love you back!

An uncle of mine traded cars every two years. His rationale?

After 30 years, Central High School is making changes in the choral department following the retirement of Beckye Justice Thomas. The change comes from Nashville and her name is Angela Hahn. Hahn has spent 21 years teaching middle school choir and general music in Nashville, plus “a little bit of everything.” She grew up taking piano lessons and was blessed with an amazing choral director in high school who inspired her. As the school year begins, Hahn will be starting from scratch. The once colorful and prop-filled choral
room is now painted stark white and waiting to be filled once again with playbills and posters featuring her students. She knows she has big shoes to fill, but Hahn is excited for the challenge and the adventures that she and her choir will experience. Thanks to the parents, students and staff at Central, the transition has been good. Hahn plans to hold the sacred concert in October and the Christmas program in December and produce a musical in the spring. “I want to continue what has been done here in the past but put my own spin on it,” she said. In her first year, Hahn knows that the Christmas production may be done on a smaller scale, but she also knows that with the talent level at Central, it will be a good program. The students have been encouraging to her and helpful with suggestions. In one instance when she scheduled the sacred concert for a Thursday evening, she was informed by students that it is always done on Sunday. Hahn changed

While many high school students were spending summer vacations working or lounging at the beach, Central High senior Addie Morton was at Princeton University participating in a summer journalism program and learning the ropes of the newspaper business. The program took 23 (of 204 applicants) students from across the United States and worked with them for 10 days as they interviewed, wrote and helped produce a newspaper. During the week the group spent their time (usually 16-hour days) in workshops learning the basics of journalism from reporters and editors from the New York Times, the New Yorker, the New Republic, CNN and ABC News. The group had the opportunity to cover a professional sporting event, cover news events in the Princeton area, conduct an investigative project and more. The experience also allowed the students to experience life on a college campus and get helpful insight into the college-admissions process. Once they return home, the staff members will remain in contact with participants and assist them with college applications and applying for journalism internships once in college.

Addie is the sports editor for the school newspaper and found the experience to be not only helpful but exciting. Her main takeaway from the trip is that she should major in college in what she wants to write about, not journalism. Her advice to other high school students is to work hard and don’t be afraid to step out and experience different things. Had she allowed fear to keep her from applying, Addie would have never traveled to one of the nation’s most prestigious college campuses and experienced part of the country she might never have seen.

See live
artists By Carol Shane
When we think of First Friday, Knoxville’s monthly night of art, music, cocktails and conviviality, we usually picture the downtown area. But this coming Friday, revelers will get a chance to stretch their boundaries a bit when Broadway Studios & Gallery presents its grand opening party, “Please Feed the Artists.” An artists’ collective plus commercial gallery, BSG is the brainchild of painter/ sculptor Jessica Gregory. “Like the exhibit ‘see live bears’ at a zoo, instead, we have ‘see live artists working,’ ” Gregory says. “The gallery is truly just a gateway.” Visitors are invited to view pieces and then step on through to visit the artists at work. “It’s what makes us different,” says Gregory. “I love to have visitors come to my studio!” Featured artists include painter Cynthia Tipton, corn-shuck-doll maker Anne Freels, photographic artist Morris Brady and Gregory herself, who says she does “a little bit of everything.” A versatile alumnus of the Atlanta College of Art and the University of Tennessee School of Art, Gregory works at various times with paint, metal and papier-mâché. There will be finger foods, music by guitarist and oud player Laith Keilany, and belly dancers from Sandsation Dance Arts and Wellness. You can also view entries in the “Gaudy Gold Frame Show,” in which area artists submit any pieces they’d like – as long as they’re in a gaudy gold frame. The themed show is indicative of the BSG’s whimsical, positive, supportive atmosphere. “We’re all very different, but we’re all driven by creativity,” says Gregory. The group held a rummage sale

A LITTLE ITALY GOES INTO EVERY BITE
With its eclectic offering of films from around the state, the country and the world and its immensely popular 7-Day Shootout competition, the Knoxville Film Festival is a balancing act. “I’ve had people ask, ‘Are you a film festival or are you a competition?’ ” says Keith McDaniel, executive director of the Knoxville Film Festival. “We have to be both. “We have to invigorate and encourage and facilitate our local filmmaking community. The competition … is the best way to do that. “On the other hand, I don’t want to be just a competition festival. I want to bring in films from all over the world to show. That’s an important part of the film festival for not only people who love those kinds of films, but it’s also important for our local film community to see what other people do. They don’t have an opportunity to see non-commercial, non-studio films very often. “This is a great opportunity for them to see what somebody in Romania is doing, or North Carolina. Those are things that have to co-exist to make this film festival what it is.” The third annual Knoxville Film Festival takes place Thursday-Sunday, Sept. 17-20, at the Regal Downtown West Cinema 8. Some films or film blocks will sell out, so advance purchase of block tickets or a festival pass is encouraged. McDaniel’s Secret City Film Festival was rechristened the Knoxville Film Festival when he joined forces with Dogwood Arts in 2013. He’s also run a couple of other festivals for a total of “18 or 19” – he’s lost track. He’s excited about the 40plus films showing this year, selected from more than 300 entries. The openingnight film, “Wildlike,” stars Bruce Greenwood and is set in Alaska. Other features include several from Tennessee, including “Prison Break-in,” directed by Amy Hubbard; “Ain’t It Nowhere”
K ith McDanKeith M D iel goes over instructions for the 7-Day Shootout at the kickoff event at the Knoxville Visitors Center. by Scott Murphy; “Sahri” by Robert Denney; and “Homeless” by Clay Hassler. There are films from Russia and Belgium and a feature, “The Looking Glass,” by John Hancock, the director of “Bang the Drum Slowly.” The powerful story of a retired WNBA star and University of Tennessee basketball standout turned mental-health advocate will be featured in the documentary “Mind/Game: The Unquiet Journey of Chamique Holdsclaw.” The 7-Day Shootout – in which filmmakers had seven days to shoot and turn in a film no longer than seven minutes – has upped the ante this year. In addition to the regular prizes, one filmmaker will be selected to adapt his or her film into a feature, thanks to a $20,000 grand prize. The Visit Knoxville Film Office is funding $15,000 of the prize, with $5,000 coming from the KFF. “I’ve noticed there’s an intensity and seriousness about it this year,” says McDaniel. “And a lot of enthusiasm about it. This is a real opportunity for somebody.” The film must be shot 100 percent in Knox County, with 70 percent local crew and cast. Another part of the prize is a year’s worth of free representation by Distribber, which helps independent films find a home on streaming services. Tickets will be available at the theater but also can be purchased at www.knoxvillefilmfestival.com. Regular film blocks are $10 each. A festival pass is $50; the festival pass plus openingnight film and reception is $75. The opening-night film only is $15; the reception only is $20.

HEALTH NOTES
Football time in Tennessee! By Bonny C. Millard UT football coach Butch Jones said his young team is growing up and holding itself accountable, both as team members and as representatives of the University of Tennessee. Jones spoke to the Rotary Club of Knoxville and Rotarians from area clubs as part of an annual tradition. Downtown Rotary president Sandy Martin said UT coaches have been speaking to the club dating back to the 1920s. Jones signed photos, footballs, a helmet and a megaphone before the meeting. Maturity and leadership are critical to helping the team succeed, he said. Sixtyfour percent of the players have a year or less experience. Jones has created what he calls “ninestrong” position groups that encourage players to give their best and live the Tennessee way. “You can never have enough leadership. I
always talk about the great football teams,” he said. “Teams that win in November, December and January are the teams that can manage the natural adversity that a long season brings about. We’re going to have some adversity.” Jones said it’s invigorating to see the culture changing as players hold each other responsible. Recently a player was late to a meeting, and the position group told Jones they would handle the matter. At the start of training camp, the team talked about the concept and belief of “my all” and what that means, he said. Everyone on the team defined what he would do to help the team, including Jones. “My all is focus. I have to be focused every day,” Jones said. “I can’t listen to the naysayers. I can’t listen to the clutter and the distraction. This is still a very young football team and there’s a lot of work to be done. The minute I lose my focus we fail as a football program.”

Knife Shop celebrates a year By Shannon Carey When the Knife Shop passes its one-year anniversary this month, it’s not just one year of business, it’s a year of owner John Johnson living life to the fullest despite a terminal illness. After being diagnosed, Johnson said home hospice care began. But he wasn’t content to spend the rest of his life in confinement. “I’m not just going to sit at the house,” he said. So, he opened the Knife Shop in Paulette just north of the turnoff to Big Ridge on Highway 33. Johnson loves knives, and his passion shows at the store. He is a Case dealer, and he offers sharpening services. His logo reads, “A dull knife is an angry knife.”
Why is the knife angry? “Because a dull knife will cut you to pieces,” he said. Johnson has also written a book, titled “Miracle from Tobacco Road,” under the pen name Jesse Davis. The book, self-published and available on Amazon.com, tells the story of Johnson’s childhood, being raised by his grandmother in the tobacco and cotton fields of North Carolina. “All we did was work in the fields from the time I was 5 years old,” he said. “That’s what gave me my faith and my work ethic.” The Knife Shop is located at 1406 Maynardville Highway, Maynardville. Hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturdays. Info: 865-936-5403

Country ill-prepared for 911 attack By Anne Hart Retired Air Force Col. Donald Edmonds, former director of the North A merican Aerospace Defense Command ( N OR A D) Systems Support Facility in Edmonds Florida, recently gave members of the Rotary Club of Bearden a harrowing account of exactly how ill-prepared this country was for the terrorist attack of Sept. 11, 2001. NORAD is a combined organization of the United States and Canada that provides aerospace warning, air sovereignty and defense.
Edmonds discussed the attacks on America that occurred on the day when 19 terrorists associated with al-Qaeda hijacked four airplanes and flew two of them directly into the World Trade Center and a third into the Pentagon. Edmonds said the plane that hit the Pentagon struck a location that had recently been remodeled at a cost of $1 billion. “Had it hit anywhere else, the loss of life would have been far higher. The fourth plane crashed in a field in Pennsylvania when passengers foiled the hijackers’ plans to attack an unknown target. Edmonds said the fourth plane was likely headed to
the White House, but because of the trees surrounding the building, it was difficult to spot from the air. All four planes, which had left from East Coast airports, were bound for California. Edmonds said there were several reasons NORAD did not pick up the change in their flight paths. First, NORAD’s radar was aimed at Canada and Alaska, to pick up any activity from Russia, and second, when the hijackers took over the cockpits of the planes, “they flipped off the radios so we couldn’t see them.” The first plane crashed into the north tower of the World Trade Center at 8:45 a.m. It was 11 minutes later
before the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) notified NORAD. Fighter planes that could have intercepted the other hijacked planes were at a base on Cape Cod – 153 miles away. “They were flying planes into buildings before we could make a decision about what to do,” Edmonds said. “It’s not that way today.” When news of the first plane that hit the World Trade Center came, Edmonds said, the Joint Chiefs of Staff were meeting. “The first words spoken in that meeting were ‘Osama bin Laden’ because he was the only one in the world with the capability to do that.” Edmonds said that like the rest of the country, NORAD was getting its information from the media covering the attacks. Finally, a message

from Andrews Air Force Base stated that any flights over the nation’s capital “will be shot down on orders of Vice President Dick Cheney.” “Warfare changed on 911,” he said. “Up to then, it had been traditional and sym-
metrical. Today it is complex and asymmetrical.” “Our alert posture is far higher today,” Edmonds said, with planes in the air and ships at sea monitoring activity at all times. “We’re dealing with a very smart enemy.”

NEWS FROM EMERALD YOUTH FOUNDATION OF KNOXVILLE
A Message from Steve Diggs Emerald Youth President and CEO Emerald Youth’s learning and education initiatives are some of the most exciting things about fall for me. I know that seems odd during these late summer days, when temperatures still hover near the 90s. But consider the predictors Steve Diggs of a child’s success. Research shows the students most likely to succeed in school and in life have several points of regular contact with caring adults, consistent study habits and academic goals that stay at the forefront. In the 2014-2015 school year and summer, Emerald Youth engaged over 800 children and teens in learning programs. They included over 650 elementary, middle and high school students who received tutoring, homework help and academic enrichment. Nearly 300 elementary to high school students had subject-specific tutoring. Through our Emerald Youth Fellows program, we are actively mentoring about 75 young adults in college and career colleges. At Emerald Youth, learning takes place routinely and in a variety of settings, including daily homework help. Children work in dedicated computer learning labs using software to remedy individual problems. Students learn life skills such as financial literacy. They attend ACT Prep classes, go on field trips to area businesses and visit state colleges and universities. On July 27, our hearts soared when Emerald Academy, Knoxville’s first public charter school, welcomed its inaugural class of kindergartners and firstgraders. In helping our children learn, we are not just creating successful students. We are enabling the future wise leaders of Knoxville.
Track team builds young athletes’ skills Urban athletes sparkled in their performances on the Emerald Force Track Team this summer. Thirty-five athletes aged 6-18 participated on the team coached by Jarius Allmon, with 11 qualifying to compete in AAU Nationals Aug. 2-8. One Emerald Force runner, Elijah Howard, 13, dazzled fans at the Norfolk, Va., meet when he became national champion in two events: the Boys 100 and 200 meter dash. All of the other Emerald athletes who competed scored personal bests in the national meet, said Dwayne Sanders, Emerald Youth sports director. Emerald Youth’s athletic teams offer kids from Knoxville’s urban neighborhoods a chance to learn skills and compete. For example, Emerald helped form the track team last summer in response to the desire of young runners and their families. Coached by Allmon with parent Melissa Mack as team manager, the robust team practiced three times a week this summer, with devotionals at each practice. A powerful aide came in the person of Mike Morrison, a performance trainer now on staff with Emerald Youth Sports.
Morrison worked with track team members alongside Allmon an additional two evenings each week at the Emerald Youth Sansom Sports Complex. Using drills and weights, they worked on “the three things we call SAQ: speed, agility, quickness,” Morrison said. He said the runners learned skills they would need in competition: running out of the block, the first 10-30 meters, acceleration, and then maximum speed later in the race. The team shone in local and regional meets, including the AAU regional meet in which eight individuals and two relay teams qualified to attend nationals. Morrison will work with a range of Emerald athletes this fall, including runners preparing for next summer’s track season. Emerald Force track team members who competed in nationals are: Ariya Rice, 11, long jump, Elijah Howard, 13, 100 meter and 200 meter, Taylor Teasley, 16, long jump; Ken Cox, 13, 100 meter, and the 100 meter boys’ relay team members Jashaun Price, 8, Javaston Badgett, 7, David Gaston, Emerald Force track coach Jarius Allmon, left, 6, and Tavion Ray, 8. with runner Elijah Howard, at the AAU Nationals.
Emerald Academy welcomes first class of scholars While many students across East Tennessee wrapped up their summer vacation, a special group of children started school on July 27 in one urban Knoxville neighborhood. The inaugural class of kindergartners and first-graders at Emerald Academy, Knoxville’s first public charter school, started their school year. High fives and cheers greeted the children as they walked into their newly renovated school – the historic Moses School Building, 220 Carrick Street – in Mechanicsville. “Now is when the real work happens,” said School Director Jon Rysewyk. “At its core, this isn’t just a new initiative; it’s something that will make a tremendous impact on these students, their families and our city.”
Just over one year ago, the Knox County Board of Education approved a proposal from Emerald Charter Schools to launch the very first public charter school in Knoxville, which will eventually house more than 500 students from kindergarten through eighth grade. Because enrollment outnumbered available spaces by nearly three to one, students were chosen by a random lottery. Students at Emerald Academy will be called “scholars” in an effort to stress the importance of college completion, and the three primary goals of the school are: ■ Scholars will read at or above grade level. ■ Every scholar will be ready for high school and on their way to a four-year college. ■ Emerald Academy will rank in the
top five percent of schools in Tennessee within the first 10 years of operation. Learn more at www.emeraldacademy. org. Supporting opportunities are available.
Emerald Academy supporters and staff greet scholars on opening day.

Travis Wegener car show
raises funds to Enhance Powell
By Sandra Clark
Despite drizzling rain, the Tennessee Valley Mustang Club’s first show in memory of former member Travis Wegener, held Aug. 15 at Food City in Powell, was a smashing success. The show raised money for Enhance Powell, a committee of the Powell Business and Professional Association Show sponsors were the PBPA, Food City, Dr. Donald Wegener, Randall Anderson of Anderson Insurance Agency and Sage Kohler of State Farm Insurance. The Muscle Car Ministries joined, with several cars on exhibit. Entry fees were $20 per car. Vendors were plentiful, and Food City hosted hamburgers and hot dogs for lunch with PBPA volunteers selling platters for $6. All proceeds went to the beautification fund. But the cars, fellowship and fun were secondary to the purpose of the event – the memory of Travis Wegener, who died Aug. 15, 2014, at age 28. Amy Arlene Mantooth posted this on Facebook: “As I sit here and reflect on this day, my heart is filled with tears and with overwhelming love and joy. “You see, God gave us a very special gift that He knew we humans would need … and that is the gift of family. “Now the family that I am referring to … is my beloved Tennessee Valley Mustang Club and Muscle Car Ministries family who came out in full force today to show just how special family really is. “We all came for one reason, and that was to honor, remember, laugh, love and reflect on our Mustang brother, Travis Wegener, who left his earthly home one year ago today to enter into his eternal home in heaven. ... “We miss you so much and as this day closes comes the realization that we are one day closer to seeing your smiling face again. ... To surround yourself with the love of family is one of the most precious things that one can ever experience. “As for this Mustang girl, I don’t want to walk on this earth without holding tight to this most precious gift and ‘Because Travis, We Are Family.’ ”

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER
Gamma Knife pinpoints cancers in the brain Part of couple’s ‘Grand Adventure’ Pam and Gene Hubbard of West Knoxville have lots of memories and laughter to share as they sit together in the park on a sunny day. Through the years, their love has deepened as they have shared many experiences, both good and bad. Among the more recent experiences is the journey through Pam’s cancer treatment. They have learned a lot about a rare kind of cancer and about the Gamma Knife, an incredible tool that detected and treated spots on Pam’s brain, without invasive surgery. The Hubbards share a love story that spans nearly five decades. They started dating when he was 15, and she was 12. “If you can call it dating,” Pam jokes. “We skated together at the skating rink.” They grew up together in Oak Ridge and soon became an inseparable pair, falling deeply in love. Several years later, as Gene was preparing to go overseas with the U.S. Navy, he found out that his pay and benefits would increase if he were married. Pam was 17 and still in high school. “But my parents loved him,” Pam says, laughing. “They always said they liked him better than they liked me.” So with the blessing of her mother and father, young Pam became a bride the summer before she started her senior year in 1969. Pam gave birth to their first son 19 months later, while Gene was with the Seabees in Vietnam. Today they have two sons, four grandchildren, and one great-grandchild. Gene describes their years together as something akin to Bilbo Baggins’ Grand Adventure. “We’ve not only wound up on the wrong roads,” says Gene. “We’ve wound up in the wrong states.” That adventure took a sharp turn down a rocky path in 2011, when Pam stepped out of the shower one day and noticed an unusual pink ring on her left breast. She was mildly concerned, and asked Gene’s opinion about it. He wisely told her to go see the doctor. The following Tuesday, Pam sat in the office of her OB/GYN, and heard the doctor say that he’d never seen anything like it, but that it reminded him of something he’d learned about in medical school. He snapped a picture to show the other doctors in the practice. Only one of them had seen the marking before, but none of them had ever treated it. The mystery mark turned out to be the result of inflammatory breast cancer. It is rare, aggressive, and often misdiagnosed as a rash or infection. When Pam and Gene received the news, she says she felt a touch from heaven, and knew God was in control of the situation. At home a little later, Gene wanted to wrap his arms around his wife in a reassuring hug, but she wasn’t ready. She needed some time to process what was happening. “About 15 minutes later, I was
Pam and Gene Hubbard celebrated their 46th wedding anniversary in August, following Pam’s successful cancer treatments through the Fort Sanders Regional Gamma Knife Center at Thompson Cancer Survival Center. “She’s handled it well,” Gene Hubbard says of his wife’s cancer journey. “And from her strength, I draw strength, too.” fine,” Pam says. “I’ve been fine ever since.” For the past few years, the Hubbards’ “grand adventure” has primarily focused on fighting the cancer that metastasized and spread into Pam’s lungs, lymph nodes, and adrenal glands. From there, the cancer spread to her brain. Surgery and traditional chemotherapy treatments have taken their toll but have worked well in treating the cancer. For the spots on her brain, Hubbard needed something else. Her doctors recommended
the Fort Sanders Regional Gamma Knife Center at Thompson Cancer Survival Center. The Gamma Knife uses advanced diagnostic imaging and three-dimensional treatment planning software to deliver 192 finely-focused beams of gamma radiation to small targets inside the brain. The beams converge at a point to treat the affected tissue, while minimizing the damage of healthy brain tissue. Gamma Knife gives neurosurgeons the capability to treat dozens of tumors intracranially. The pro-
cedure typically is performed in a single outpatient treatment session with considerably reduced treatment times and minimized surgical complications. “Mrs. Hubbard initially had two metastatic tumors in her brain, and operating in two different areas of the brain would have been very detrimental,” says neurosurgeon Steven Sanders. “The surgical side effects likely would have precluded any benefit from an open surgical procedure.” Sanders says the only other option besides traditional surgery would have been whole brain radiation and extensive chemotherapy, which he says would have been less effective. “And the outcome potentially could have been dramatically worse,” he says. “They explained very well to us the advantages of the Gamma Knife and how long it’s been around,” Gene says. He hadn’t known that gamma radiation has been in use for more than half a century. “I was amazed.” After going over all the options, the Hubbards were told that the Gamma Knife was recommended for Pam’s case. Gene and Pam say they felt well informed and very well prepared. Gene was also impressed and comforted by the way he and Pam were both treated on the day of the first procedure. “Everybody was just tremendous,” he says. “They told us what sedative they’d be giving her, they explained the procedure again, and they even made sure I knew when they put the coffee on.”
While Pam was undergoing the procedure, Gene received updates, letting him know what phase Pam was in and how things were going. “They seemed to be concerned about me as well as her,” Gene says. Pam underwent the Gamma Knife two separate times. The first time, the MRI that was part of the Gamma Knife process picked up on three additional spots – a total of five. The second time, 12 spots were treated. Follow-up MRIs after both procedures showed that the Gamma Knife worked, and the tumors that had been on her brain were no longer a threat. “I’m very grateful,” Pam says seriously. Pam and Gene are grateful, not just for the technology, but for the personal care Pam received every step of the way. “They seem to really care about your best interest,” Gene says. “They care about your whole background, and they’re focused on the whole person, from the nurses to the people at the counter.” Pam doesn’t want to be called a cancer survivor, because there’s no permanent cure for metastatic breast cancer. Gene balks at that, making the point that his wife has to be some sort of survivor, because she’s already survived three years since her diagnosis. As they enjoy their banter at the park, they give credit where they believe credit is due. They know Pam might not be here today had it not been for excellent doctors, a positive attitude, modern medicine, Gamma Knife, and God’s intervention. “I didn’t know if I was going to live,” Pam says, “but I was comfortable that whatever happened was God’s doing.” “God has a plan, and the plan is working,” Gene says in agreement, giving his wife a knowing look. “She’s still here.”
Brain surgery without the ‘surgery’ The Leksell Gamma Knife Perfexion machine has treated nearly 400 patients since coming to Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center in 2011. And both physicians and patients are delighted with the results. “I continue to be amazed by the tumor reduction we receive using Gamma Knife Dr. Hauge technology,” says Dr. David H. Hauge, Medical Director of the Fort Sanders Gamma Knife Center. Using the Gamma Knife radiosurgery system requires a team effort. “We have both neurosurgeons and radiation oncologists together in the pretreatment evaluation, as well as the actual procedure. Spe-
cially-trained radiation physicists and nurses also help ensure a safe and pleasant experience for the patient,” explains Hauge. Despite its name, the Gamma Knife is not really a “knife.” There’s no cutting, no anesthesia and no hospitalization afterward. Radiation energy is targeted through the skull and into brain tumors, destroying them while leaving healthy tissue unharmed in the process. Treatments can last less than two hours, and patients go home the same day. Gamma Knife can also be used to treat a number of other brain disorders, like noncancerous tumors of the pituitary gland, tumors of the ear or eye nerves, or malformations of the blood vessels in the brain. Fort Sanders is an “open” center, meaning Gamma Knife cre-
dentialed and trained physicians in the area are welcome to use the technology. Five neurosurgeons and five radiation oncologists from Knoxville area hospitals participate regularly at the Fort Sanders Gamma Knife Center. The biggest benefit of the Gamma Knife is its ability to treat multiple tumors at once, up to 15 or more. The Leksell Gamma Knife Perfexion is designed to allow treatment of multiple metastatic brain tumors developed from primary cancers outside the brain such as lung, breast, ovarian, colorectal, kidney and melanoma. The Gamma Knife is much safer than other radiosurgical tools for brain tumors because it does not expose the rest of the brain or body to radiation. “We can deliver the treatment with pinpoint precision,” explains Fort Sanders
neurosurgeon, Dr. Joel Norman. “When you’re delivering radiation to the brain, particularly around the brain stem or optic nerves that control eyesight, precision is everything.” Dr. Hauge agrees. “In a recent study, Gamma Knife was shown to deliver far less radiation to the rest of the body outside the brain than any other currently available cranial radiosurgical technology.” However, while the Gamma Knife is one-of-a-kind in the area, it is not a cure for everything. Some tumors of the brain will still need traditional surgery. “Gamma Knife adds another treatment option for patients with brain cancers or other noncancerous abnormalities in the brain,” says Dr. Norman.
