Anders retains commission chair Knox County Commissioner Brad Anders will serve another term as the commission chair following a challenge by Dave Wright. Anders had support from Brad Anders Commissioners Richard Briggs, Mike Brown, Amy Broyles, Sam McKenzie and Randy Smith, while Wright got votes from Ed Brantley, Charles Busler, Jeff Ownby and Bob Thomas. Anders represents District 6 which includes Solway, Karns and Hardin Valley. Wright, who was elected vice chair, represents District 8 which includes East Knox County.

Ground-breaking for Halls greenway Knox County officials including Mayor Tim Burchett will break ground on Halls’ park-to-school greenway at 10:30 a.m. Thursday, Sept. 18, at Clayton Park, 7347 Norris Freeway. Everyone is invited. The greenway project had been stalled by environmental concerns, but now with much of the required mitigation work completed, Knox County is ready to move forward with the project, according to Burchett’s office. The greenway will link Clayton Park to Halls Elementary School, opening pedestrian access to Halls’ greenway system to residents along Emory Road south of Norris Freeway as well as those who live in the Andersonville Pike area.

Looking toward a better tomorrow By Ruth White The medals they wear symbolize bravery during battle, and the recipients wear them proudly. “I am grateful for the privilege to wear the Medal of Honor, and I wear it for everyone,” said Sp4c Gary Wetzel, speaking at Central High School. Wetzel and Petty Officer Robert Ingram left students with a positive message of courage and patriotism. “Service is what it’s about,” said Ingram. “Serving is what is necessary in keeping our country free.” Ingram reminded students to know the Constitution and for what America stands. When asked if he had one wish, Ingram responded, “To die happy. I have seen enough unhappiness and enough pain to last a lifetime.” “Respect one another” was Wetzel’s message. “In doing that, you must respect yourself first.” He lost an arm during combat, but he chose to live a life that wasn’t filled with bitterness. “The loss of my arm just made me do things differently,” he said. As the Central High chorus honored each branch of the military, Wetzel encouraged the audience to take a good look into the American flag and to think about the sacrifices that were made in this generation and those past. “Let’s look toward a better tomorrow.”

Former County Commission colleagues Mike McMillan and Billy Tindell at the rally. McMillan now serves on the school board and is likely to be elected chair in October.

By Sandra Clark Jamie Rowe had both scientists and politicians at her schoolboard campaign kickoff last week in Fountain City Park. The firsttime candidate is a Fountain City native who holds college degrees in chemistry and biology. Husband Holland Rowe is a pharmacist – the longtime manager of the Fountain City Walgreens. Brett Carter, who considered running for school board from District 7 and is a pharmacist at Walgreens in Gibbs, was there, as were multi-

generational city council members from Jack Sharp to Marshall Stair. Rowe raised about $2,000 at the kickoff and served an estimated 150 well-wishers. She pledged independence on the school board: “I don’t listen to the powers that be. I will do my own research.” The nonpartisan Nov. 4 election includes Charlotte Dorsey and Tracie Sanger along with Rowe. It was necessitated by the mid-term resignation of Indya Kincannon, whose husband received a oneyear teaching opportunity abroad

as a Fulbright Scholar. Rowe bypassed the County Commission’s interim selection process, which resulted in a threemonth appointment for John Fugate, opting to get a head start on the election instead. That she’s done with 200 bright green signs already in yards, a website and a host list that’s a who’s who of District 2.

Coming soon: fewer red lights on Broadway By W By Wendy end en dy Smith dy Smi mith ith h T Traffi ffic signals i l are meantt to t bring order and efficiency to our roadways. But when you’re sitting at a red light, it doesn’t seem like a friend. It seems like a time-stealing enemy. That’s because driving is selfcentered, says Knoxville Chief Traffic Engineer Jeff Branham. Every time the light changes, there are winners and losers, and at peak times, there are a lot of people competing.

The Th he race race to to get get to work wor ork k − or home − is hampered by b an aging system. Much of the city’s current traffic-management system dates back to 1991. It’s old and requires a lot of maintenance, he says. There is good news. Every five years, major corridors are optimized, and this year, signals along Kingston Pike and Broadway will get fine-tuned. And a few years down the road, the city’s trafficmanagement system will get a $7 million overhaul.

Creating and maintaining an Crea Cr eati ting ing a nd d m aiintai aini ining ng a n efficient system simple.

The optimization will help. Retiming signals should whittle commute times along major corridors by 20 percent, Branham says. Optimizing is about changing signal timing, rather than

replacing equipment. To get the job done, a computer model of existing conditions is tweaked based on predicted traffic-pattern changes over the next five to 10 years. Individual signal times are also tweaked based on observations of each intersection during peak times. The optimization is expected to be completed by the end of the year. But, because of ever-

NEWS FROM PROVISION

Early detection was lifesaver for Surber

David Surber, who completed treatment for prostate cancer at Provision Center for Proton Therapy, was able to maintain his active lifestyle while undergoing treatment. An avid golfer, he was able to head to the course after his morning proton therapy treatments.

By Shannon Carey David Surber is not a typical prostate cancer patient. Diagnosed in his mid40s, Surber found himself plunged into a world of questions with no easy answers. With a successful career, a wife and three kids, and his whole life in front of him, he was looking for a solution with as few longterm side effects as possible. “In my experience, there is no cancer concierge for prostate cancer, saying ‘Here are the best treatments for someone like you,’” he said. “It’s very dif cult to nd information for the healthy 46-year-old guy.” Through research and personal connections,

Surber found the Provision Center for Proton Therapy at just the right time. The Knoxville center opened in January 2014, the same month Surber was diagnosed. A native Knoxvillian now living in Birmingham, Alabama, Surber was able to stay with his parents during treatment. His outlook is good, and he attributes that outlook to early detection and the excellent care he received at Provision Center for Proton Therapy. Surber got a simple blood test to check for prostate-speci c antigen (PSA) during a physical. When the test showed elevated PSA levels, a follow-up biopsy con rmed the diagnosis, catching his

cancer in the early stages. If diagnosed and treated early, prostate cancer has a ve-year survival rate of almost 100 percent. The screening is recommended for men 40 years of age or older, or earlier in the event of a family history of prostate cancer. Surber encouraged men to take advantage of the free Eddie Check screenings offered in the Knoxville area, or to schedule the test with their personal physicians. “Why would you put it off?” he asked. “Too busy? You’re going to be really busy when you’re trying to gure out how to treat it.” Surber even translated his passion for early detection into his own outreach effort. His blog, titled “An Inconvenient Gift,” chronicles his journey with prostate cancer from diagnosis through treatment. He hopes the blog will help men to be proactive about getting screened for prostate cancer. “Get checked!” said Surber. “Dealing with it now is so much better.”

Healing the wounds of war I enjoyed meeting Medal of Honor recipient Col. Roger Donlon during a break at the recent Medal of Honor convention in Knoxville. In the few minutes during which he shared some of his life, I caught a glimpse of a true American hero.

Ruth White Medal of Honor recipient Roger Donlon. Photos by R. White Donlon was the recipient of the first Medal of Honor awarded for action during the Vietnam War at the Battle of Nam Dong. He received the nation’s highest honor from President Lyndon Johnson on Dec. 5, 1964. All nine of the surviving members of Team A-726 joined then-Captain Donlon in the White House as he received the medal. He introduced his team members to the president and credited them all for their efforts, saying that he was simply the designated leader. As a youngster, Donlon worked in the pharmacy of Dr. White in New York, scooping ice cream and selling newspapers. He recalls photographs of White’s sons on his roll-top desk, dressed in military uniform. “Service was part of everyday life,” he said. “My mom always included prayers for family members in the service during the evening meal prayer. As the youngest son, I saw my

brothers head off to serve and I dreamed that one day I would also be able to serve.” Donlon’s prayers were answered, and he joined the Air Force. He served with the Air Force briefly, but his father had taught him to dig deep and face adversity. He joined the Army several years later and served for 30 years. Following retirement he continued to serve, through directing the Westmoreland Scholarship Foundation and speaking to schools and veterans groups. He has served on the board of People to People and has been able to return to Vietnam several times. Donlon calls those return trips “an awesome experience” and hopes to continue to rebuild bridges of understanding and help heal the wounds of war. “We need to think of reconciliation, whether it be with family members or in regard to war. It takes everyone’s effort to heal.”

tation Program that was matched by $1.4 million from the city. The current system uses local controllers connected along corridors. These controllers are coordinated by master controllers, which keep them in sync. The connections are important because when they fail, the system gets “out of step,” and timing between intersections “drifts” a few seconds over time. Those few seconds cause delays along corridors − which means more red lights. Phase I of ATMS will most likely include the installation of fiber-optic communications and an improved central management system. Decisions on particular

The biggest problem with the current system is that signals don’t communicate well. “They’re like people,” says Branham. “If you don’t communicate well, you don’t get along.” The upcoming Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS) Project will help Knoxville’s 386 signals communicate better. Funding comes from a $5.6 million allocation from TDOT’s Surface Transpor-

government It’s about McIntyre Anyone who thinks the upcoming vote for school board chair is a choice between Mike McMillan and Doug Harris just hasn’t been paying attention. It’s no more about McMillan and Harris than the 9th District school board election was about Pam Trainor and Amber Rountree. When politicians remove the citizens’ right to elect a school superintendent, then each school board race becomes a referendum on the job performance of the appointed superintendent. It’s not accidental that Jim McIntyre faces an unfriendly board majority likely chaired by Mike McMillan. Is McMillan my first choice for chair? Nope. He wasn’t even my first choice for 8th District school board member. But he’s got seniority on the four newcomers and he’s probably earned

Sandra Clark

the right to lead the board, where he’s been a frequent victim of 8-1 votes. Amazing that 8-1 suddenly became 4-5 and folks don’t tie that to McIntyre. There’s another election in two years. If Tony Norman takes on Doug Harris, Norman wins. If Karen Carson tries for a fourth term, she loses. And what’s now 4-5 becomes 2-7. Those worried about Mike McMillan chairing the Board of Education ought to consider the next step: McMillan chairing the search committee for our next appointed superintendent.

Obama ate my actuator wire

While cruising down Kingston Pike recently, I saw the “check engine” warning flash on my car’s instrument panel. I immediately suspected something in my engine demanded checking and made for the dealership.

Larry Van Guilder

The service technician confirmed my hunch, fi xed me up with a loaner vehicle and promised to call when they rooted out the malfunction. He called an hour later. “The VVT-I actuator wire has been severed,” he said. I’ve severed relationships, bonds and friendships, and once nearly severed my thumb with a bread knife while under the delusion that I was a baker. But severing a VVT-I actuator wire sounded faintly dangerous and possibly illegal, so I responded promptly: “Huh?” “Looks like a rodent chewed it,” he said. “This happens every now and then. We’ve had mice drop from the engine in the service bay.” Mice chew engine wires? Who knew? The “minor repair” set me back only $258.35, and at first I was happy the gluttonous rodent hadn’t devoured me out of more cash,

but soon I smelled a rat. Knowing how jealous the neighborhood raccoon is of his territory, it was hard to believe he would have allowed another four-footed critter to encroach on his reservation. I was sure a more sinister plot was afoot, and after due consideration I knew I had the answer. It’s hard these days to escape what former Vice President Spiro Agnew called the “nattering nabobs of negativity.” Agnew’s nabobs were mostly newspapers critical of the Nixon administration. Today’s version is right-wing radio, television and print commentators critical of President Obama. These “pundits” were just background noise until my actuator wire was assassinated by – allegedly – a naive mouse. With rising suspicion I checked my auto repair records going back to the Reagan years: not once in the years before Obama’s presidency had my actuator wire been severed. I saw the light. I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that through mind-control techniques developed by the CIA, rodent wire-severing is on the upsurge. Why? Jobs. With new job postings faltering and a parsimonious Congress unwilling to loosen the purse strings for some desperately needed infrastructure work, the president has to work in the shadows to pump the econ-

High-paid attorney joins those leaving TVA Remember Ralph Rodgers, the TVA chief legal counsel who makes $1.9 million a year while TVA is laying off hundreds of employees? Well, it seems he is about to retire. Not clear how generous his pension will be, but count on it being more than most TVA folks about to be laid off. Most people in East Tennessee have never heard of Rodgers but he has a nice nest egg now at ratepayer expense. Surprisingly, this has not become an issue in some of the congressional contests. ■ Mayor Rogero flew to Dallas Sept. 4 to view the Dallas Zoo. She flew out on the private plane of Chelly Clayton, Knoxville Zoo board member, along with other board members. She returned on American Eagle the next morning in time for the Tennessee Valley Fair luncheon at Chilhowee Park. Her former deputy mayor, Eddie Mannis, also a zoo board member, paid $412 for that flight. The Knoxville Zoo paid for the Dallas hotel room, and the city paid a total of $35 for the trip – $25 baggage fee and $10 breakfast. It’s good to know former deputy mayors stay in touch with their former bosses. Mannis hosted a major fundraiser at his Kingston Pike home this spring for Rogero’s re-election.

Ball does not expect Alexander to accept and probably prefers the issue of not debating over an actual debate. Alexander might be well advised to agree to several as it would allow him to show how mentally agile he is at age 74 and how much better grounded on issues facing the Senate he is than Ball. They also could discuss President Obama and Sen. Harry Reid. Tennesseans would benefit from seeing both candidates side by side. In the Democratic primary, Terry Adams was the more skillful speaker on issues and more consistently a Democrat. Alexander has debated opponents over the years such as Jake Butcher, Randy Tyree and Bob Clement. Ball can check with each of them to ask how well Lamar did. Ball prefers that Alexander

decline so he can attack him for not debating (although Ball declined to debate his own rival, fellow attorney Adams, in the primary). Ball should be careful what he asks for. It might happen. ■ Fort Kid, at the World’s Fair Park, was built 23 years ago through the efforts of community leaders and volunteers.

The host committee for her Sept. 9 kickoff was a who’s who of influential people in her district. Two current City Council members, Mark Campen and Nick Della Volpe, were on the host committee along with three former council members, Carlene Malone, Charlie Thomas and Jack Sharp, as was former County Commissioner and newly elected state Democratic Committee member Mark Harmon. Rowe is opposed by Charlotte Dorsey and Tracie Sanger, who has the endorsement of Kincannon. Rowe will be a hardworking, very independent member of the school board who cannot be intimidated by anyone. She will do her homework to a fault on the board if elected. ■ A year from now, we will face a Knoxville city primary for mayor and City Council. All four council members completing their first term told this writer they will seek a second and final term on council in 2015. They are Finbarr Saunders, Marshall Stair, George Wallace and Mark Campen.

Amendment 1 fight is 14 years in the making

It’s strange that Tennessee, the most comfortable notch on the Bible belt and the stomping grounds of the Tea Party, has a constitution that gives a broader right to abortion than the landmark Roe v. Wade decision. In the 2000 Planned Parenthood of Middle Tennessee et al. v. Sundquist case, the Tennessee Supreme Court ruled that “a woman’s right to terminate her pregnancy is a vital part of the right to privacy guaranteed by the Tennessee Constitution.” The case struck down previous rules regarding abortions after the first trimester and a mandatory two-day waiting period. Since then, anti-abortion groups have been raring for a fight. They’ll get their chance in November, when Tennesseans will vote on Amendment 1, which gives legislators a say in the state’s abortion laws. The proposed amendment reads: “Nothing in this Constitution secures or protects a right to abortion or requires the funding of an abortion. The people retain the right through their elected state representatives and state senators to enact, amend or repeal statutes regarding To page A-5 abortion, including cir-

cumstances of pregnancy resulting from rape or incest or when necessary to save the life of the mother.” The rest of the country is paying attention, says Steven Hershkowitz of the Vote No to One political action committee. Tennessee is one of “very few” states with constitutional language that favors privacy rights, and what happens here could set a precedent. “This is a national issue,” says Hershkowitz. Amendment 1 would give the Legislature more power to restrict abortion, and advocates haven’t hidden their intent to institute an absolute ban on abortion, he says. Proponents interpret the amendment in a softer, fuzzier way. The Family Action Council of Tennessee website says the amendment will make the constitution “neutral” on

abortion while still being subject to the abortion rulings of the U.S. Supreme Court. But there’s no doubt that the amendment could open the door for change. “Tennessee voters should be able to decide about laws regulating the abortion industry,” says Angel Brewer, treasurer of the Yes on 1 political action committee. Both sides claim to have the best interests of women at heart. The amendment would allow politicians to set restrictions on abortion even if a woman is a victim of rape or incest, or if her health is in danger, Hershkowitz warns. A woman should make private medical decisions with her family, faith and doctor without interference from politicians, he says. Women should have information about what will happen to their bodies, says Brewer. The 2000 Supreme Court ruling struck down the informed-consent law along with a waiting period. The public should be aware that abortion facilities are not required to be licensed and inspected, although some do so voluntarily, she says.

Both sides have passionate backers with deep pockets. But if donations are an indication of voter support, Yes on 1 is in the lead. By the end of June, the group had raised approximately $518,000, while Vote No to One had raised about $360,000. Most of Vote No’s contributions came during the second quarter, including $189,500 from Planned Parenthood of Middle and East Tennessee. Another $115,000 came from Planned Parenthood affiliates in other states. Yes on 1 isn’t seeking funds from outside the state, Brewer says. Regardless of where the money comes from, Tennesseans should expect the brawl to get loud, and possibly nasty, as November approaches.

Joy McCroskey: Time for a change of scenery More than 1,500 people turned out at a reception at the City County Building to pay tribute to Joy McCroskey, who was retiring from her position as Knox County Clerk of Criminal Court, Fourth Circuit Court and the Criminal Division of General Sessions Court at the end of August.

Anne Hart

After nearly half a century in the clerk’s office, McCroskey is a virtual encyclopedia of county government and its many players. She could write a bestseller and says she just might do that, but she will probably have to sell it as fiction because nobody would believe that much of what has gone on could be true.

For the past few weeks she has been catching up on things she enjoys, including visiting with her beloved grandchildren. She was replaced by Mike Hammond, who has criticized her tenure, but that doesn’t mean Joy McCroskey left without friends. From the cleaning staff to judges and their staffs, current and former elected officials, a bunch of noteworthy attorneys and many, many just plain folks, they all came to pay tribute to McCroskey. A few of the old-timers recalled little Joy Rader tagging along with her dad, the late Pete Rader, a widely known local political figure, to meetings and campaign events when she was young. That was just the beginning. Joy Rader McCroskey says her first big involvement in politics was when she signed on as a “Baker Belle” in Sen. Howard Baker’s first campaign in 1966. “That was between my

years, followed Randles in office. When her chief deputy, Wanda Odom, retired, McCroskey was named to that job, a position she held until Phillips died in June of 2008. The judges then named McCroskey clerk, and she named Norman chief deputy. She won election that November and was re-elected in 2010. By her retirement, the Joy McCroskey, center, was joined by family members at a farewell reception in her honor at the courts she oversaw had City County Building.

Credit cards and driver’s licenses

For several years our 1956 Farragut High School graduating class has met the third Monday of every month at IHOP on Lovell Road. There were only 32 students in our class, reflecting the rural nature of our area 58 years ago. Surprisingly, we still have much in common after all those years. Of the original 32 students, 12 have passed on and, for the surviving spouses, the monthly meetings also serve as a significant support group. An often-discussed topic is the significant changes we have seen over the past 58 years. Of course, cell phones, laptops, tablets and home computers are but a few,

and for most of us the use of these new technologies is a little out of our comfort zone. Believe it or not, we still write letters and send note cards for appropriate occasions. At a recent meeting, the subject of credit cards and driver’s licenses offered some reminiscing. As for my family, credit cards were still a few decades in the future, and I doubt we would

have even understood their importance, or for that matter their need. If you bought something, you paid cash for it, and if you didn’t have the money, the “big box” stores offered layaway plans. Likewise, the terms “hackers” and “scams” would not have been part of our vocabulary, nor would we have understood how people could postpone debt to the distant future by paying only the required minimum each month. We always tried to pay off our layaway item quickly to gain the use of the merchandise. Of course, that arrangement didn’t provide immediate gratification, but it did provide great anticipation.

More coverage. Less spendage. Discounts up to 40%* Get more. Spend less. It’s that simple

Fortunately, I have never been the victim of hackers, but we have experienced a credit card scam. Several years ago, we received a call from our bank informing us that they were can-

celing our credit card but would send another by FedEx that afternoon. Seems someone ran up $7,888 on the card, which was still in our possession. But even more surprising, the use of the card occurred in Japan. The scammers were caught and the bank covered the

sic director at First United Methodist, will sing “I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say” to the old English tune “Kingsfold.” Middlemas says, “We tend to value music based on our Southern Appalachian heritage in our church. “I think this is a grand ecumenical idea that should have been done long ago,” she continues, “and should be repeated every other year. We are perhaps the most varied group of houses of worship in one small area in Knoxville and yet have many things in common. I welcome getting the chance

to know more about my musical friends, for truly, any instruments or voices raised in praise to the One God are related in spirit.” Denny Mullins, organist at First Methodist, says that in his 27 years there, he can’t recall anything of this nature occurring before. He’ll offer a “short, energetic” organ piece. “Brenda has pulled off a first as far as I know, bringing musicians from most of the nine churches on Kingston Pike (in Sequoyah Hills) together,” says Will Dunklin, organist and pianist for TVUUC. “Even though

most of the congregations on Kingston Pike have been there for decades, have we ever just gotten together for a pleasant, friendly afternoon of music? What an easy way for people to meet and think about what it means to be a community.” Representing TVUUC will be The Accidentals, a seven-person ensemble performing music that is a “gospel-rock-pop-R&B-jazzfolk-classical blend of sacred and secular.” “It’s very Unitarian,” says Dunklin with a smile. Heska Amuna Synagogue will send the klezmer band Dor L’Dor, meaning “from generation to generation.” The group was started in 1999 by Ken and Susan Brown. According to the band’s website, Dor L’Dor is “a multigenerational klezmer band based in Knoxville, that international city famous for its yiddishkeit. While we’re deeply rooted in the klezmer tradition, we have branched into other traditions as well. “Your father would love us. But we’re not your father’s klezmer band.” The concert and reception are free and open to all. “There’s going to be wonderful diversity,” says Goslee. “We want to show the community that we respect each other, and like each other.

I would need a driver’s license or passport. It seems that any ID presented must have a date of birth. Certainly a federal ID card would be more difficult to obtain than a valid driver’s license. The 9/11 terrorists held valid driver’s licenses, but they never held more restrictive identification. It also brought to mind the plight in which an elderly person who has never traveled abroad or driven a car might find themselves. How could they prove their identity?

Credit cards and photo driver’s licenses are as much a part of our present society as the need to grow our economy through consumer spending and high-speed travel on super highways. But I doubt that much thought was given to either of these concepts by those of us who grew up in the 1950s. The only pictures in our wallet were those of our immediate girlfriend, and those had to be kept current. Our thoughts were more often centered on simpler

things like being able to take your girlfriend out on a date and working after school to earn the money to do that. But using a credit card or a multipurpose driver’s license was still decades in the future. Progress? Perhaps. But for those of us who are old enough to remember life in the 1950s, there is something to be said for simplicity and anticipation. Certainly, for most of us, immediate gratification was not part of our experience.

Carol’s Corner And sometimes the worst offenders are religious people or organizations. It’s great news, then, that some houses of worship in Knoxville are taking a stand – a peaceful, positive, musical stand – and getting together to present a concert. At 3 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 28, Second Presbyterian Church on Kingston Pike will host a “Concert of Neighboring Kingston Pike Congregations” featuring musicians from Laurel Church of Christ, Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church, First United Methodist Church, Temple Beth-El, Knoxville First Seventh-day Adven-

tist Church, Calvary Baptist Church, Heska Amuna Synagogue and West Hills Presbyterian Church. Do we live in a great town or what? Brenda Goslee, organist at Second Presbyterian, remembers an encounter years ago with an exchange student from Northern Ireland. He had noticed all the different places of worship, side by side along Kingston Pike. “Oh my goodness, this is wonderful,” he exclaimed. “This wouldn’t ever be true in Northern Ireland.” That encounter stayed with Goslee. As one of the

masterminds behind this event, she has long wanted to present a concert of music that spans diverse belief systems. “We are not pressing Christianity,” she says, “but we are pressing God. [The concert] is unifying, and not divisive at all.” “Bring many names beautiful and good – celebrate in parable and story – holiness in glory – living, loving God – hail and hosanna – bring many names,” proclaims one of the hymns chosen for the congregation to sing at this auspicious event.

Credit cards and driver’s licenses check-in. Recently, just out of curiosity, I offered the check-in cashier at a major hotel chain an amount of cash that would more than cover our possible room charges. But my offer was declined. They would accept only a credit card. Perhaps this practice is a harbinger of things to come when hard currency will be replaced entirely by credit cards. I can only imagine how my family would have dealt

with this practice. Another significant change is the multiuse of driver’s licenses. I can remember getting my first driver’s license when I was 16 and how I cherished that thin little piece of paper. It gave me the privilege of driving the family car, and it opened up a new world for me since it was the first time I could take my best girlfriend to the movies or a drive-in restaurant. It was

From page A-5 literally a passport to freedom. There was no photo and it was not embossed in plastic. It was just a plain little piece of paper.

Nick Vesser and Cheryl Hodge wait patiently as the thermometer rises to the perfect temperature for apple dipping.

How do you like them apples? By Cindy Taylor Fairview United Methodist Church has a unique tradition involving more than 24,000 apples. Its kitchen, located in the basement of the church, is quiet and unassuming on the outside, but once each year it becomes a bustling hub of activity. More than 60 years ago the first candy apples left the church kitchen to make their way to the then-named TVA&I Fair. Six generations later, carloads of the crunchy delicacy still head to Chilhowee Park each September. When Caleb Money and the founders built the original church in 1905, it is unlikely they envisioned such an extensive apple ministry. Today it is the church’s largest fundraiser for missions. Last year alone the church raised more than $10,000 to benefit missions and community projects.

bushels of Ozark Golden Delicious apples. They are brought in on Thursday before the fair opens. Volunteers stem, wash, dip, wrap and box the apples before sending them to the fairgrounds. The dipping technique has been perfected generationally with very few burns and even fewer disagreements about who’s the boss. “No one is really in charge,” said Hodge. “Everyone just knows what to do.” The church has a booth in front of the Jacob Building. This year their treats were awarded “Best Candied Apple” by the fair. Don’t even hint around for the recipe. Cheryl Hodge and fifth-generation apple prepper Virginia It remains a secret.

Girl Scouts. Many adults are leading busy lives and may feel that they don’t have enough extra time to become a troop leader. The group is currently focusing on recruiting leaders and in turn, recruiting scouts. They will also host recruitment nights at area schools. Any adult interested in leading a troop in the Fountain City/Inskip area should contact Milly Cavendar, 800-474-1912. “Leaders have a support system with Girl Scouts,” said Smith. “They have someone to turn to with questions and guidance.” Smith enjoys scouting and the opportunities it gives her to show her troop members unique places and help build leadership skills – all while having fun. A badge workshop is currently scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 27 (time not set) at St. Paul United Methodist Church in Fountain City.

By R B Ruth h White Whi What do corn dogs, chicken on a stick, funnel cakes, fried Oreos and chocolate-covered bacon have in common? The Tennessee Valley Fair, of course! Each year the fair opens its doors to senior adults and allows them the opportunity to enjoy the fair in the early hours of the day, visit booths, eat lunch and explore the exhibits.

velous l mutts and d more. The Jacob Building featured ribbon winners from the photography contest, 4-H projects, culinary arts winners and information booths for various products. Inside the Kerr Building were displays for the bra/hat bedazzling contest, handmade quilts and other home items. The Tennessee Valley Fair is a big event, and so are the arcade prizes. The fair opens its doors to senior adults and other individuals early one day during the event so that they may enjoy the fair with less foot traffic.

Joseph Arnold completes basic training

Barney Fife (aka Sammy Sawyer) performed for the senior adults at the fair. Part of his act includes bringing seniors onstage to help re-enact scenes from “The Andy Griffith Show.” Betty Smelcher does her best “fun girls from Mount Pilot” impersonation as her husband, Walter, waits to act out Ernest T. Bass.

Air Force Airman 1st Class Joseph M. Arnold graduated from basic military training at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland in San Antonio. He earned four credits toward an Associate in Applied Science degree through the Community College of the Air Force and earned distinction as an honor graduate. He is the son of Joseph and Sandra Arnold of Alexandria, Va., and the grandson of Ernest Shantie of Massena, N.Y., and Agnes Arnold of Hercules, Calif. He is the son-in-law of Michelle L. Lee of Knoxville and Kenneith Goodwin of Morgantown, W.Va. Arnold is a 2009 graduate of Halls High School and earned an associate degree from Pellissippi State Community College in 2013.

Leon Ridenour demonstrates how Henry Ford’s first gasoline engine works to guests at the fair.

KCDC employees get a kick out of being active By Alvin Nance We know that staying active keeps us healthy and that, in turn, improves all aspects of our lives. With that in mind, our employNance ees formed a kickball team called the KCDC Tigers. Busy work schedules can make it difficult to set aside time for physical activity, but healthy endeavors are good for our employees, so KCDC offers a wellness program to encourage fun, team-building activities with the dual purpose of improving fitness. As part of that program, we have been participating in the City of Knoxville Parks and Recreation adult kickball league. More than 20 employees are currently in the league, from KCDC administrators to property management and maintenance staff. I am a member of the KCDC Tigers, although I have yet to play in a game. We formed the team in July and practiced weekly at Montgomery Village in preparation for the opening game Aug. 4. The KCDC Tigers now play every Monday at the Safety City fields. We’ve played three games, and even though we don’t always win, we are having a

Community Involvement Committee Chair Tiara Webb said, “The reason behind creating the kickball team is for KCDC to encourage healthy lifestyles and setting goals. This sporting event has been very helpful and beneficial to me, and it also allows us to get together and have some good oldfashioned fun!” KCDC created the wellness program a few years ago to offer more services

to improve the health of employees. In addition to kickball, KCDC also provides access to a mini-gym in our administrative office with an elliptical machine, stationary bicycle, free weights, mats and other workout gear. Several employees get together weekly after work in the training room to work out together to an exercise DVD. KCDC also partners with Summit Medical Group to bring in a nurse each quarter to help

our employees better manage their health. Regular physical activity has been proven to boost energy, improve mental health and mood and even increase lifespan.

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

Treatment for prostate cancer keeps retired professor close to home As a retired professor of industrial engineering, John Hungerford of Knoxville, 74, is used to taking a methodical, scientific approach to solving problems. When he was diagnosed with prostate cancer in April 2006, Hungerford used the same logic to make decisions about his treatment. “I used all that good training to plot my treatment plan,” said Hungerford. “But at first, I had kind of a sense of panic about the whole process. You think you have to do something right away.” But Hungerford’s cancer was in an early stage, giving him some time, and, like many prostate cancers, was relatively slow growing. “At first you think, ‘I’m going to die.’ But then you find out that’s not the case if the cancer’s not aggressive. Yes, you’re going to die, but not necessarily from that,” he said. Hungerford attended a prostate cancer support group at the Cancer Support Community of Knoxville – formerly called the Wellness Community. “I found that group amazingly helpful because a lot of men had a good reservoir of technical knowledge,” he said. Hungerford considered many current treatment options for prostate cancer. “Then I heard about this alternative at Thompson Cancer Survival Center, called tomotherapy. It’s basically a very focused kind of radiation that is limited to the cancerous cells and a small area around them,” he said. Tomotherapy delivers radiation slice-by-slice, a tiny bit at a time, as opposed to hitting the entire prostate at once. Hungerford went to the Thompson Cancer Survival Center in the summer of 2006 and met Dr. Daniel Scaperoth, a radiation oncologist. “Right from the outset I liked Dr. Scaperoth,” said Hungerford. “He was very straight-forward with me and answered all my questions

Prostate cancer survivor John Hungerford enjoys a daily walk with the family dog, Gertrude. After being diagnosed with cancer in 2006, Hungerford researched a treatment that was right for him and that led him to Thompson Cancer Survival Center.

“From the time my wife and I to my satisfaction. I felt like he was great deal of honesty between him in it for the patient’s beneﬁt, and and me.” went to Thompson, we had a good he was trying to respond to what He said the Thompson Center feeling about the place,” he said. “It’s a light and airy atmosphere, the patient needed. There was a impressed him as well.

Weighing your options for prostate cancer Of all the cancers, prostate is one of the slowest growing. If caught early, patients typically have plenty of time to decide on the best treatment option for their particular situation. “People can die of prostate cancer, but it’s also very treatable and, for the most part, curable,” said Dr. Daniel Scaperoth, a radiation oncologist at Thompson Cancer Survival Center. Each of the treatments currently available for prostate surgery has a similar success rate, with a variety of side effects. In general, they fall into two main categories: radiation Dr. Daniel or surgery. Scaperoth “Usually men will go to a urologist or radiologist and get a couple of different opinions,” said Scaperoth. “There are support groups in town, and men will share their stories about what went well and what didn’t go well.”

“And the decision depends a little bit on age,” he added. “Younger patients in their 50s and 60s will lean a little toward surgery because they can always add radiation later. People over 70 might lean more toward radiation.” There are so many options it can be difﬁcult to choose, Scaperoth said. If it’s an early stage of disease, men can even choose not to do anything at all. “Watchful waiting is also OK, with active surveillance of PSA levels,” Scaperoth said. PSA, prostate speciﬁc antigen, is a blood test that can detect the disease at an early stage. “The PSA test is what gives you lot of options,” said Scaperoth. The American Urological Association recommends that men talk to their physicians about when to have a first PSA screening and how often they should be screened after that. In general, men ages 55 to 69 should be screened every two to four years. “It’s really something you should talk to your doctor about, based on your own risk factors,” said Scaperoth.

and the people were the same way. I just had a really good feeling about it.” Starting in mid-July, Hungerford had 39 tomotherapy treatments, one per weekday, until the end of summer. “They do precise CT (computed tomography) scans to locate the prostate,” he said. “There’s no pain. I was just lying there maybe 20 to 30 minutes each time. You don’t really feel anything, actually.” “Toward the end of the treatment series you feel a little bit of fatigue,” said Hungerford. “The last couple of weeks I felt sluggish and slow, like I was walking through mud.” But over the weeks, Hungerford’s PSA tests showed that the cancer was being destroyed. A PSA test is a blood test that detects the prostate speciﬁc antigen, an indicator of cancer. “I’d say the treatment was very successful,” he said. “My PSA level started coming down to well below where it needs to be, and I’m pleased with that,” he said. “I haven’t had any problems since.” Hungerford said he would recommend Thompson Cancer Survival Center to anyone facing prostate cancer treatment. “The personnel are just great, and the technicians that worked with me when I was going through treatment were terriﬁc too. Everyone was so helpful,” he said. Hungerford said his wife, Ruth, met friends in the waiting room each time they went for treatment. “She’s outgoing and got to know most of the people in the waiting room, and we’ve stayed friends with a lot of those people after treatment. It was really kind of neat to have that social aspect, unanticipated,” he said. “I thought the care was outstanding, and it’s been that way ever since,” said Hungerford. “I’ve been treated really well.”

Prostate cancer treatment choices Surgery – Removal of the prostate either with an open incision or with a less invasive robotic system that uses several smaller incisions. The risks of surgery would include infection and anesthesia problems and a slightly higher risk of incontinence afterward. Radiation – Radiation treatment is done either from the outside, bombarding the prostate with radiation beams, or from within the prostate, by implanting radioactive seeds inside the prostate. Tomotherapy is one type of external radiation, which applies the radiation in thin, precise slices. Risks of radiation would include a higher irritation to the bowel and rectum than surgery. Seed implants can cause swelling that can cause difﬁculty urinating. Cryosurgery – A technique for freezing and killing abnormal cells, cryosurgery is being tested for very early stage cancers. It is a one-time procedure performed under anesthesia. Hormone therapy – Male sex hormones can cause prostate cells to grow. Drugs that suppress hormones can slow the growth of cancer, but they have some serious side effects. These drugs are only used in more advanced cancers.

The Vols ran a tight T for- gang, as in no assistants, no

support staff, not even a dietitian or video coordinator. It took him a few minutes to get organized. The university had raised entrance requirements. The team was a little short on talent. By 1913, the outlook was much brighter. The Vols won six of nine. The big one got away. Vanderbilt won, 7-6. Clevenger awarded 12 letters and gave a pep talk about the future. Season profit in excess of $1,000 allowed him to hire a line coach. A hundred years ago, Tennessee came out of the chute with an 88-0 stroll past Carson-Newman. King College fell, 55-3. Clemson took a 27-0 hit. Tennessee took the train to Louisville and romped, 66-0. There was bitterness before the Alabama game. An anonymous source reported the Tide was cheating. Sure enough, quarterback Charlie Joplin refused to sign an affidavit that he had never played pro ball and was immediately ruled ineligible. The Vols won, 17-7. Chattanooga took a 67-0 tumble. The really big game

was at Vanderbilt. Southern Railway offered fans a round trip ride for $6.75. Alonzo “Goat” Carroll scored all Tennessee points, two touchdown receptions of Bill May passes, one extra-point kick and a 15-yard field goal, in a 16-14 victory. It was the first-ever win over the Commodores. Carroll invited the victors to dinner at his family home, a block or three from the Vandy campus. UT classes were dismissed on Monday for a day of celebration. A Vanderbilt official said that was what you might expect from Tennessee, overemphasis of athletics and underemphasis of academics. The Vols swatted Sewanee in Chattanooga and polished off Kentucky to conclude the perfect season. There were no holiday bowl games, but a good time was had by all. ■ Roger Woods has left the UT Fellowship of Christian Athletes by mutual agreement. He is now pastor of a church in South Knox.

If laughter is the best medicine, then Friday night in Bobcat Country served up a healthy dose for former coach Joel Helton. Former players, parents, family members and friends gathered at the Central High football stadium to say hello, laugh and share stories with Helton. As former principal Jon Miller and Helton watched the game from a golf cart in the end zone, the Bobcats played tough and worked their way from a first quarter deficit to beat Karns 4928.
