Halls will be OK By Sandra Clark
The crowd buzzed with news of Regal Entertainment Group’s impending relocation to downtown Knoxville, while a couple hundred restored cars and trucks were displayed in the parking lot of Black Oak Plaza. The spectacular car show was organized by David and Deanna Lowery and Ron Bradley of Halls Service Center to benefit a young mechanic, Andy Hacker, who lost a leg in a head-on collision. Andy, 26, and his wife, Miranda, 22, continue in physical therapy. But both were at the car show, thanking participants. Andy said he’s ready to return to work at “the best job I’ve ever had.” And David Lowery said he’s ready to have Andy back. “When you work the hours we do you have to enjoy the people you’re around,” Andy said. “I never thought anything like this was possible. It’s been hard to deal with, to get knocked flat on your back. But you’ve got to get back up.” Roger Phillips stood nearby. He was showing his 1928 Ford truck, complete with disc brakes and a little muscle engine. “This is what Halls is all about,” he said. “Coming together for a car show for a good cause.” Roger gets it ... and he lives in Corryton. Music by Deanna Lowery’s
cousin, Greylan James, flooded the parking lot. Judges evaluated the cars. People ate hot dogs and hamburgers while bidding on silent auction items. Brent Ledgerwood sat with his grandson, Oakley, a sixth generation Halls resident. This writer covered Brent when he was in high school and then covered his son, Eric, when he was at Halls High. In fact, we almost got Eric expelled by printing his picture on the day developers burned the old Ledgerwood family homeplace. Yes, it was a school day, but both Brent and Eric were there, taking pictures of the fire. Now Brent’s grandson, Tyler, is a senior at Halls High School. And little Oakley belongs to Eric and his wife, Ashley, who live on the Ledgerwood property in Halls. Business owners were lamenting the possible departure of

some 450 Regal employees. Many bought homes in Halls and most are good customers of Halls merchants. But the business community must understand, like Andy Hacker, that when you’re knocked down you get back up. Halls has empty buildings? We’ll fill them up. Halls will be OK. And so will Andy Hacker.

Tom Harrington gets national park award Tom Harrington of Fountain City is one of two volunteers honored for their work with the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Park Superintendent Cassius Cash said the volunteer program “provides professional and vital Harrington information to our many visitors every day.” “Tom and Sterling (Fisher) are excellent examples of that incredible service. When you look at their service record it is clear to see why they were selected for these re-
gional and national awards.” Harrington, who has served more than 20,000 hours in the Cades Cove area of the park, was given the Southeast Regional Enduring Service Award. Fisher, who has volunteered for more than 10 years throughout the park, was recognized with the Southeast Regional Youth Volunteer Award and the national George and Helen Hartzog Youth Volunteer Award. Harrington has been volunteering at the national park for more than 17 years. While working in the park three to five days a week, he provides informal roving interpretation and formal interpretive programs. He also provides
off-site community-outreach programs and is a member of the park’s “Adopt-a-Trail” program. He has educated and enlightened thousands of visitors through these programs about the park, providing further insight and appreciation and promoting stewardship and passion for the Smokies, according to a press release. Fisher’s service to the national park began when he was just 6 years old, accumulating over 300 hours of service before he entered high school. When he enrolled as a freshman at Gatlinburg-Pittman High School in 2012, he noticed an absence of a connection between the school and nearby national
park. Sterling started the first junior chapter of the Friends of the Smokies to provide an opportunity for students to support the national park through fundraising and volunteer service. Every year volunteers perform a variety of activities including assisting with cultural demonstrations and special events, carrying out litter patrols along trails and in campsites, serving as campground hosts, and helping fisheries biologists monitor trout populations. In 2014, 2,560 volunteers donated 150,679 hours of service to the national park. Info: nps.gov/grsm/getinvolved/ volunteer.htm
AT&T means business, wires Neyland By Sandra Clark
What happens when 102,000-plus UT football fans tweet or IM or email their unique perspective on a scoring play or game-saving stop? Why it goes right through for AT&T customers thanks to the company’s recent enhancements to the Distributed Antenna System (DAS) at Neyland stadium. With approximately 194 antennas spread throughout the stadium, connectivity at Neyland is roughly equivalent in size to cover a city the size of Morristown, says Alan Hill, AT&T’s regional director for external affairs. He spoke last week to the Farragut Rotary.

“Smartphones are now an essentia l part of the ga me - day experience for fans,” said Hill, a UT alum. Alan Hill “ W e know that being able to send photos and texts and check scores from around the country is important to fans in the stands.” Engineers continue to tweak the system, which was installed this fall. A DAS is a network of several small antennas designed to enhance wireless service within an area or
building. DAS technology helps improve customers’ wireless service by shortening the distance a call or text must travel. Hill talked about AT&T’s work during the NCAA basketball playoffs. “You know how they bring in those raised floors? Well, we installed antennas under them when the Final Four was held in Dallas.” AT&T showcases technology as the named sponsor of the Dallas Cowboys’ stadium. Other facts Hill shared: ■ In 1952, AT&T had just 21 outdoor phones in Knoxville. ■ In 1954, special circuits were installed and
used for to bring teletype feeds to the News Sentinel. ■ In 1962, the first UT game on TV was broadcast nationally. AT&T was involved, and the opponent was Alabama. ■ At one point nationally, about 450,000 customers per month were switching away from traditional land lines. ■ There has been a 100,000 percent increase in mobile data traffic in the last eight years on the AT&T mobile network. ■ AT&T will use $26 million in Connect America Funds per year over the next six years to supplement efforts to expand rural broadband in Ten-
nessee. ■ By 2020, AT&T’s vision is to lead in mobilizing the world using wearable technology, and by connecting homes, cars and cities. ■ Business opportunities are plentiful in this mobile world. “So, what did you learn?” asked Hill at the meeting’s end. Gulp! “Uh, you talked so fast it was hard to take notes, but I came away believing AT&T is dynamic – leading the technology curve. Buy stock!” I answered. Hill awed the folks at Farragut Rotary. He’s a great speaker for your civic group (Alan.L.Hill@att.com). 2704 Mineral Springs Ave. Knoxville, TN 37917 Ph. (865) 687-4537

Grooming paradise Fountain City residentss Le L Les ess and Wilma Shular weren’t very excited about leaving their home in Powell last year. The couple had spent 53 years in the same location. Finding a home in Fountain City that suited their needs helped ease the transition a bit.
Koi and goldfish in the Shular pond
Cindy Taylor The Shulars’ former residence in Powell had become surrounded by apartment buildings. They had been asked for years to sell so the apartments could expand, and they finally agreed to part with their property last year. The Noweta Garden Club held its October meeting at the Shulars’ new home. Wilma, a retired piano teacher and former church pianist, is a member of the club. Les is retired from Y-12. Both are avid gardeners, though Wilma says Les does most of the outdoor work these days. The couple brought as much of their garden as possible with them when they moved. They have 23 dogwood trees, 340 irises and too many rhododendrons and other flowers to count. “This is sort of like a spa, but we don’t have to pay to be here,” said Wilma. “Les handles most of the outdoor upkeep and planting,
and I t a k e care of the inside.” A koi pond is a main feature of the garden. Water lilies grow in abundance. Les has an ultraviolet light behind a waterfall at the pond to keep out the algae. As soon as he walks close to the pond, the fish start swimming in his direction hoping for food. Les says you have to be careful not to overfeed them. “I have three big koi and a baby koi,” said Les. “All the others are goldfish.” Inside the home the Shulars have displays of art created by family members. The couple has wonderful collectibles and historical memorabilia throughout their house. A painting in their bedroom depicts an old church that Les’ dad helped build. Wilma wowed Noweta members with a song she played on a

piano that had belonged to her husband’s mother, Annie. Annie was Wilma’s piano teacher. The two say it has taken a while, but they are finally adjusting to the move. “Moving was really hard,” said Les. “I finally had everything just the way I wanted it, and then we moved.” One bonus of the new home is the deck off their master bedroom overlooking the pond and gardens. The pair has made a beautiful sanctuary at their new home, but Les says his gardens will never be completely finished. “There is always something more to do.” Contact Cindy Taylor at ctaylorsn@gmail.com.

Kincannon won’t seek school board seat ■ Indya Kincannon, former chair of the Knox County school board who now works for Mayor Rogero, is back in Knoxville after she and her family lived for Kincannon a year in Ljubljana, Slovenia. Her husband, Ben Barton, a University of Tennessee law professor for 14 years, was on a Fulbright Scholarship at the University of Ljubljana teaching comparative law. Over coffee at Old City Java we discussed her exciting year in Slovenia, formerly a part of Yugoslavia. She taught Spanish, writing and history at the international school there. Their two daughters, Dahlia, 14, and Georgia, 12, were with them. The family visited 14 countries while in Europe, including Poland, Italy, Croatia, Austria and Hungary. They had visits from 17 Knoxvillians over the year there. The children attended a K-12 school with just 110 students. Kincannon said she would not run for the school board and feels that Tracie Sanger is doing a good job and is “an independent voice.” She said it is too soon to decide whether to seek another office, but she likes public service, which she is doing by working at the City County Building for $60,000 a year. ■ Forbes is out with the 400 richest Americans, and the list includes several Tennesseans. Heading the list at No. 54 is Nashville’s Thomas Frist at $8.7 billion; next is Martha Ingram at $4.3 billion; then Fred Smith at $3.5 billion; Knoxville’s Jimmy Haslam at $2.8 billion; Brad Kelley of Franklin at $2.2 billion; Jeffrey Lorberbaim of Chattanooga at $2.2 billion; Forest Preston of Cleveland at $2.1 billion; and Gov. Bill Haslam at $2.1 billion, which is No.
GOSSIP AND LIES ■ U.S. Rep. Jimmy Duncan held his own with the WBIRTV pundits who tried to pin the ills of the national Republican Party onto his shoulders. ■ Duncan opined that “not all Republicans can be as conservative as I am.”
Victor Ashe
327 on the list of 400. ■ Susan Shieh, owner of Shay Properties, died May 10, but at her request there was no mention in the local media. In addition to being fluent in Mandarin and English, she was fluent in Japanese. She championed Knoxville’s sister-city program, especially with Muroran in Japan, which she visited. The Shiehs made a major capital gift for the 30-foot Pagoda at Tiger Forest. It will be a dramatic focal point for visitors at the Knoxville Zoo. ■ Derrick Schofield probably has a limited future as corrections commissioner in the Haslam cabinet. With all the management issues arising around our prisons and legislative inquiries growing, the buck stops with him or the governor. Since he works for the governor, he is likely to go first. Issues with the Corrections Department seem only to worsen. How much water can this ship take on before the governor decides to throw the captain (Schofield) overboard? He has become an issue as much as other issues facing the Corrections Department, which are very serious. Former wardens and guards have boldly stated he told them to change their stories when talking to the media. If true, this is grounds for dismissal. ■ Early voting for the Nov. 3 city elections continues to be low. If one wants to avoid this in the future then moving the date of the elections is the only viable option to increase voter participation. ■ Tennessee Clean Water Network, led by Renee Hoyos, has a new website that is much improved at tcwn.org. Check it out. This writer serves on the TCWN board.
■ That acceptance of diversity is a shrewd diss of extremists who are willing to shutter government if they don’t get their way. ■ Doug Harris, school board chair, says a return to six class periods each day for high schools can be phased in so no teachers are laid off. ■ Jim McIntyre, superintendent, says the change could save
Democrats choose sides, but seem ready to unite The dance floor was jampacked with Democrats at Carleo’s the night of the first presidential debate, and nobody was dancing. Bernie Sanders ruled the night, or maybe it just seemed that way because his supporters were louder than Hillary Clinton’s crowd. Mostly younger, too.
Betty Bean Anthony Perry and Kyle Bobisch sneered in the general direction of Republican frontrunner Donald Trump, pointing out that he’s never been elected to anything, while their man Sanders is the longest-serving congressional independent in U.S. history and was returned to office with 70 percent of the vote last election. Are they worried about polls suggesting that it’ll be tough to sell a self-described socialist in a general election? “He polls great with me,”
Bobisch said. A couple of tables away Cheri Siler declared herself undecided. She said the debate might influence her vote. (Contacted afterward, she said she thought Clinton “won” the debate, but she was still undecided and wants more specifics from both frontrunners. She’s waiting to hear from Vice President Joe Biden, too.) Former state legislators Bill Owen and Bob Booker are bullish for Hillary. Owen said he was the first committed Clinton super delegate in 2008 and didn’t change his vote until he got a call from Hillary on the convention floor asking him to vote for frontrunner Obama. He said he once again considers himself Hillary’s first committed super delegate (assuming that the state executive committee, of which he is no longer a member, will allow him to keep his seat on the Democratic National Committee). Neither Owen nor Booker seemed worried about the prospect of Biden jumping into the race. Owen said
BZA to Magpies: No butter and eggs for you! By Betty Bean Magpies Bakery owner Peg Hambright showed up at the October Board of Zoning Appeals with more than 50 supporters and an argument against the city’s ruling that the dancing egg and a stick of butter she wants to put on her roof are advertising, not art. Rooftop advertising is banned under the new sign ordinance, but Hambright’s position is that Ms. Egg and Mr. Butter are covered by a clause exempting art from the prohibition. She was dead in the water before she opened her mouth. BZA member Charlie Van Beke delivered the preemptive coup de grace with an announcement that public discussion of the issue has been based on media error: “It doesn’t matter what’s been in the newspapers.

■ “The question is, is it advertising? It doesn’t matter if it’s art,” said a BZA member of Peg Hambright’s dancing eggs and butter. ■ If the city didn’t mean to exempt art from the sign ordinance, then why is the exemption there? And who decides what is art? ■ Bureaucrats are better at reading rules than seeing art.

Longtime party activist Sylvia Woods is again supporting Clinton but said she’s delighted to see so many young people getting involved, no matter whom they support. Longtime social-justice activists Fran Ansley and Jim Sessions said they are keeping their options open, but Ansley was carrying a petition to get Sanders on the ballot for the Tennessee primary. Amanda Kruel, one of Sanders’ highest-profile local supporters, appeared to be having more fun than anybody at the debate. She predicted that Democrats Amanda Kruel is all in for will come together once the Sanders. nomination battle ends. “Both sides are excepBiden should stay on as vice tionally enthusiastic about president in the next Clin- our respective candidates, ton administration.

The question is, is it advertising? It doesn’t matter if it’s art.” Van Beke’s pronouncement contradicted the explanation provided this summer by Plans Review and Inspections Director Peter Ahrens when he denied the Magpies application. “It came down to whether the sign was art or just advertising. As we looked at their website, it almost seemed that the egg and the butter became a logo, almost like a Nike ‘swoosh.’ Where you see the butter and egg dancing, you think of Magpies, and that’s how they are trying to brand their business. That would be considered advertising,” Ahrens said. Hambright said she supported the new sign ordinance and believed the exemption for works of art would allow the figures she designed to mount on the 13-foot-tall metal scaffolding that was on the roof when she bought the building seven years ago. She said she contacted all her neighbors – several of whom came to the BZA meeting to support her – and made the rounds of nearby neighborhood and business associations to explain her plan. “It was so heartening to see so many people from
my community in their red T-shirts come in the middle of a Thursday afternoon and pay to park downtown.” Her proposal drew opposition from former City Council member Carlene Malone, representing Fountain City Town Hall and Community Forum, and from Joyce Feld, a board member of Scenic Knoxville and a member of the taskforce that crafted the sign ordinance. Both Malone and Feld said it was tough to oppose a request from a respected business owner who is considered an asset to the community, but both were adamant that the sign ordinance should not be interpreted to accommodate Hambright’s request. “Knoxville cannot be governed by winks and nods,” Malone said. “What’s next, dancing forks and knives? Dancing bottles? “The definition of advertising is not new … What is new is the recent prohibition against roof signs.” Feld said the task force was unanimous about prohibiting rooftop signs. Hambright said she and her husband, Scott Carpenter, are deciding whether to appeal the BZA decision to City Council.

Road costs soar while revenue stalls If legislative Democrats suggested raising taxes, every Republican would jump up to vote no. But since the GOP now controls every branch of state government, the responsibility to run the state falls on them. And their inexperience shows. There’s a crisis that’s getting worse fast in the state’s method of funding roads. Led by state Sen. Jim Tracy, legislators met in Knoxville last week to review concerns with local officials and the public. Tennessee is a pay-asyou-go state for road construction – one of just five states with no road debt. That’s great. But the TDOT budget is fueled by a 21.4-cent-per-gallon tax on gasoline (18.4-cents-
billion. Of these, 80 percent of the design work and right-of-way acquisition is completed. All that’s left to Sandra fund is construction, about Clark 75 percent of the cost of each project. Examples include three Knox County projects: per-gallon on diesel fuel). South: An estimated The 21.4 cents yields $657.8 $271 million to improve million per year.

Union county line, now under construction, is costing $30 million. The project’s next phase (Knox/Union county line to just south of Maynardville) will cost another $32.5 million. The highway serves 13,000 vehicles per day. West: Western Avenue (SR 62) has a widening project now underway. The next phase is reconstruction of a .08-mile section in downtown Knoxville at an estimated cost of $19.2 million. The road carries about 19,000 vehicles per day. A motorist driving 15,000 miles per year will pay about $160 in gasoline tax. As cars become more fuel efficient and electric/ hybrid vehicles become more popular, a funding mechanism based on gal-
Alabama remains a big deal Don’t choose Saturday as your wedding day. Try not die between now and then. The preacher might not be available. This is Alabama week. This is another opportunity for Tennessee to discover who it is. The game obviously means more to us than them. The Crimson Tide leads the series by 14. Just guessing, but the Vols probably think they can again stun the world. Well, maybe. Just guessing that Lane Kiffin sees Tennessee weaknesses that will lead to sure touchdowns. We don’t know how it will turn out but we know how it has been. Nick Saban is 8-0 against Tennessee. His teams have won by a combined 28395. During this little streak, Alabama has more national titles than Tennessee has winning seasons.

Here’s the real rub: Tennessee still measures itself against Alabama. Robert Neyland started that yardstick stuff, saying he could never tell about a young Volunteer until he had played against Alabama. With just a little help from Butch Jones and the orange, white and gray, this could again be an interesting rivalry. There are priceless landmarks, generations of respect, victory cigars, table dances and the infamous Memphis market which led to a federal conviction and bitter Alabama probation.
Heroes of what used to be the Third Saturday of October: Gene McEver, George Cafego, Snake Stabler, Albert Dorsey, Steve Kiner, Johnnie Jones, Dale Jones, Peyton Manning, Peerless Price, Jay Graham, Casey Clausen and Phillip Fulmer (11-5 record). Not so good: Gary Wright, Condredge Holloway. ■
Tidbits to remember
Kicking contest, 1932: On a very wet Saturday, Beattie Feathers averaged 48 yards on 21 punts. Johnny Cain averaged 48.1 on 19 – using the same soaked, slippery football. Eventually Cain misfired. Feathers scored. Tennessee won, 7-3. Famous ’39 run: Johnny Butler twice reversed his field and unraveled a ser-
pentine 56-yard touchdown that remains one of the best ever on Shields-Watkins Field. Battered but unbowed: Alabama allAmerican Harry Gilmer took a terrible beating from Tennessee tackle Dick Huffman in 1946. Gilmer finally limped off the field – to a standing ovation from UT fans. Tipoff: Alabama scouts claimed 1956 guard Bill Johnson tipped off Tennessee plays. Tide defense was told to watch foot alignment for clues. Alas and alas, Johnson suffered a sprained ankle in practice and did not play. Tennessee won, 14-0. Clock stopper: Kenny Stabler’s 1965 famous spike saved just enough time for Alabama to have won with a field goal. There was a catch. Snake’s spike was

Unusual punishment: Gary Wright, Tennessee kicker from Heflin, Ala., missed a short field goal, leaving the Tide to celebrate an 11-10 win in Knoxville. The cruel and heartless remember Gary as “Wide Wright.” Big beginning: Alabama grad Bill Battle, Tennessee coach at 29, led a romp over the Tide and legendary Paul Bryant in 1970. Vols picked off eight passes. That never happened again. Fumble: Tennessee dominated 58 minutes in 1972 but Alabama struck for two late touchdowns. Big play was a Holloway fumble. “Fumbling against Alabama was the worst of bad times,” said Peanut. “I remember Coach Battle telling me a man wasn’t really a man until he had made a fool of himself in front of 70,000 or so. I suppose that was the day I became a man.” Bad block: In 1990,
Tennessee’s late field-goal try was blocked. The ball rolled so far in the wrong direction, Alabama gained position for a winning field goal. Foul play: David Palmer scored a two-point conversion with 21 seconds left to give the Tide a dramatic 1717 tie. Alabama subsequently forfeited the game for using an ineligible player. Shockers: Manning and Kent once combined for an 80-yard touchdown on the opening play. Vol tailbacks Johnnie Jones and Jay Graham had very long TD runs. Peerless Price returned a kickoff 100 yards and changed the tense 1998 game into a rout. Miracle: It was fourth and 19 in the 2003 second overtime when Clausen connected with CJ Fayton and allowed the Vols to fight on. They won in five overtimes. No miracles lately.

Chili for children By Cindy Taylor Partners for Children (PFC) child care has been housed in the Inskip United Methodist Church building for more than 19 years. PFC provides an opportunity for low- to median-income families to afford highquality day care and schooling for their children ages 12 months to 5 years. PFC’s annual fundraiser on Oct. 10 provided an opportunity for the community to support the effort to bring quality child care and teaching to local families. PFC director Cindy Dalton has been with the program since it moved to the current location. “A lot of our families receive a voucher from the state for child care,” said Dalton. “Not every facility accepts those, but PFC does. For only $5 for adults and $3 for children, guests were treated to a meal of homemade chili or petros with a dessert and drink. The event included a cake-

There are parts of the Church who maintain that Jesus was an only child; that Mary remained a virgin her entire life. However, it is possible to read the Christmas story as proof that Jesus was not an only child, because he is clearly identified as Mary’s “firstborn,” not simply her “son,” which implies that there were subsequent births. Jesus refers to his “brothers,” (Matthew 13:55). The same passage refers to “all his sisters.” So, Jesus had siblings, and as the eldest, I am sure he did his share of child care. He knew how to hold a child on his lap. The story of Jesus blessing the children made me begin to wonder. And imagine. I wouldn’t be surprised if, during the Sermon on the Mount, a baby got restless, hungry or tired. Did Jesus take him onto

his lap, rock him, soothe him, let him drift off to sleep, then hand him back to his mama? Did that start a line of children coming to be cuddled? What a lovely thought! Earlier in Mark’s Gospel, Jesus provided food for one crowd. Why not child care? Imagine Jesus bouncing a toddler on his knee while he taught the people “many things” (Mark 6:34)! I hope, with all my heart, that some of those children remembered that day as long as they lived, and that some of them grew up to be preachers, teachers, and apostles!

Still on the firing line I’ve heard him preach on The Prodigal Son many times, and it is my favorite sermon of his. Each time he preaches it I wait eagerly for my favorite verse, Luke 15:17 KJV: “. . . How many hired servants of my father’s have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hungry [sic]!” When Pastor Oliver Wolfenbarger agreed to officiate our wedding, I told him I thought it proper as I had known him most of my life and he had married or buried most of my father’s “side of the house.” He replied that he had known me my entire life and was at the hospital when I was born. And he has continued to be there – when I was seven and visited with family in Knoxville and first heard him preach at Hoitt Avenue Baptist; when he conducted prayer meeting at our house to minister to my father; on “The Way of Life” broadcast many Saturday afternoons from 1 until 1:30 on WKXV radio, AM 900; and on my at least annual visits to Loveland Baptist to get my “dose of Wolfenbarger.” For close to six decades this Man of God has dedicated his life to the Gospel. Dynamic though he is, his method is not to drag or scare “sheep into the fold.” I view him as a “cheerleader for Jesus,” never judgmental, always an encourager in how good the Christian way of life really is. I have heard Billy Graham called “The Presidents’ Pastor,” as he has conferred personally to so many throughout his ministry. Oliver Wolfenbarger has without doubt been the “Mincey Family Pastor,” even to those

Ronnie Mincey who were not actually his church members. A lot of my family attended Hoitt Avenue when Preacher Wolfenbarger pastored there, and it was a blow to us all when he was called to Morristown. How thrilled we were when he was called back to Knoxville to pastor Loveland. Yesterday was his 86th birthday, and he is in his 35th year as pastor of Loveland.Additionally, his radio broadcast is still on the air, same day, time and station. The Preacher says that some occasionally ask him when he plans to retire. He says he doesn’t have plans to retire, he’s making plans to refire!” One of the things that has undoubtedly sustained the Pastor over the years is his sense of humor, a most endearing trait. We “get tickled” at him frequently. He said a lady once told him not to be hurt when we laugh, but that if he could see himself the way we do he would understand. He said he thought, “If you could see yourselves the way I do, you’d understand why I act this way!” Bad as I sometimes am, I hate to think where I’d be without his guidance. His teaching has always comforted, especially when I felt my own lacking. Next I return to the classroom to remember one instrumental in teaching me composition.

Cottage industry goes global By Shannon Carey Alicia Lucy is about 30 minutes into our interview when her iPad makes the telltale “ca-ching” of an old-fashioned cash register. It’s Etsy.com alerting her that she just made a sale, a crocheted Star Wars hat depicting Yoda’s green ears for someone in Miami, Fla. We’re sitting in Maynardville Public Library where Alicia volunteers, also the place where her business got off the ground. Now, she sells crocheted items all over the world with orders going to Australia, Norway, Germany, France, Spain, Denmark, England, Canada, and of course the U.S. Lucy started crocheting at age 6 during the Blizzard of ’93. Snowed in for weeks, Lucy got bored. Her grandmother, the late Dorothy Harris of Luttrell, gave her yarn and a crochet hook. By high school, Lucy was making baby afghans for friends and family. Fast-forward to 2013 when Lucy and husband
Matthew moved back to Union County from Knoxville. The youngest of their three daughters, Rebekah, then 2 years old, had to have an emergency tonsillectomy. Having just bought a house and now faced with medical bills, Lucy turned to crochet to bring extra money into the home. She wanted to continue homeschooling the girls, and she could crochet while teaching. Her first projects, headbands, sold so well that she launched a Facebook page for Lucy’s Loops in August 2013. Within two months, she had 50 fans and was taking special orders. That’s when Maynardville Library Director Chantay Collins took Lucy aside. “She pulled five books off the shelf about home business,” said Lucy. “She said, ‘Here is a good place for you to start.’” In November 2013, Lucy started a shop at Etsy.com, shared her story on social media and had 20 special orders by Christmas. She expanded to Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest, and even started a YouTube channel featuring crochet tips and
homeschool advice. Her Etsy shop has been translated into Spanish, French, German and Russian, and she’s hoping to add Italian soon. “It just really kind of expanded. It was surprising,” Lucy said. Her best seller? Shark slippers. Last Black Friday, she received five special orders for the slippers from Germany. “I never knew Europe had a shark shoe shortage,” she joked. Lucy field-tests her ideas for new items with the teens who gather at the library. They’ve also given suggestions, like making Doctor Who and Star Wars fan items. 2015 has been a tough year for the Lucys. With several deaths in the family, Lucy had to take a break from the business in March, but her customers didn’t mind. One customer from Finland waited two months for two pairs of shark slippers. “She could have bought them from three other Etsy shops, but she wanted us to have her money,” Lucy said. Now, Lucy is back up and running. She’s home-
schooling daughters Madeline, Sarah and Rebekah and helping raise nephew Ayden, age 3. How does she find time for everything? “By the grace of God, a wonderful husband and a good schedule,” she said. “Everything we do is on a schedule. My day starts at 5:30 a.m. and ends at 10:30 a.m. But it is so nice to be able to say, it’s going to get done because there’s a time slot for it.” And she’s glad that she can make money doing something she enjoys. “It was relaxing,” she said. “It was a way to spend time with my grandmother. Now, it’s a way to remember her, and it’s something I can pass along to my children.” Lucy will share her knowledge of running an online home business in the Maynardville Public Library Cottage Industry workshops next month.

Horror Fest’s back
but not totally black
By Betsy Pickle
Knoxville Horror Film Fest 7 will have plenty of screams, but it will also show films that are “lighthearted” and “fun.” That’s the word from festival director William Mahaffey and fest producer Nick Huinker. “A lot of people aren’t into horror films,” says Mahaffey. “A lot of the films we’re showing are more lighthearted or comedy. We try to balance it out.” The festival opens at 6:30 p.m. Friday and continues at noon Saturday at Downtown West. At 6 p.m. Sunday, it moves to Scruffy City Hall for screenings of vintage horror films “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre” and “Death Spa.” The event wraps up with an after-fest party complete with an ’80s horror costume contest, a scream queen contest and the awards ceremony. Several filmmakers will attend and do questionand-answer sessions. One of the fest’s most
popular attractions is the Grindhouse Grind-out, a timed filmmaking competition in which teams create grindhouse-style trailers in an assigned genre. Twelve teams, including one from Murfreesboro, turned in films. “One of the reasons we started the Grindhouse Grind-out is that we never
Prize-winning play at UT A UT graduate student will play all 35 roles in a Pulitzer Prize- and Tony Award-winning play at the Clarence Brown Theatre’s Carousel Theatre. Brian Gligor will present “I Am My Own Wife” at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Oct. 23 and 24, and 2 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 25, at the Carousel. “I Am My Own Wife,” by Doug Wright, tells the true story of Charlotte Von Mahlsdorf, an East Ber-
lin antiques collector and transgender person who endured both the Nazi and Communist regimes. Shortly after the fall of the Berlin Wall, Wright began a series of interviews with Von Mahlsdorf and found himself quickly entranced by her fascinating and controversial story. Gligor received a $10,000 grant from the College of Arts and Sciences for the project, which is his master’s thesis.
‘Nevermore’ By Carol Shane Halloween approaches, and costume parties are in the planning. But the main event of the night is always trick-or-treating, and the main participants are the kids. It’s only fitting, then, that the Knoxville Children’s Theatre will present “Quoth the Raven: the Tales of Edgar Allan Poe,” a story drawn from the stories and poems of the original king
of horror, beginning this Friday. KCT artistic director Dennis Perkins wrote the script for the production, which is “a story loosely drawn from Poe’s life that incorporates three of his stories – ‘Hop-Frog,’ ‘The Tell-Tale Heart’ and ‘The Cask of Amontillado’ – and five poems – ‘The Raven,’ ‘Annabel Lee,’ ‘The Conqueror Worm,’ ‘The Bells’ and ‘Song.’
‘Post-Electric’ play
“Mr. Burns, a Post-Electric Play,” will be performed in the Clarence Brown Theatre’s Lab Theatre Oct. 28 to Nov. 15. Because the Lab Theatre seats only 125, patrons should purchase tickets quickly as performances do sell out. In “Mr. Burns,” strangers bond by recreating an episode of “The Simpsons” in a contemporary America without power, and memories of Marge and Homer become the basis for shaping a new society as the play travels decades into the future. Two previews for “Mr. Burns” are Wednesday and Thursday, Oct. 28-29, followed by opening night Friday, Oct. 30. Info: 865-974-5161 or clarencebrowntheatre.com.

get a lot of local films, and we wanted to generate that more,” says Mahaffey. “And people really like to do the contests here … It’s become one of our most popular things.” Including the Sunday lineup, seven features will be screened. Friday night will include “Tales of Halloween,” an
anthology film, and “Deathgasm,” a horror film from New Zealand. “It’s like a splatter comedy, like early Peter Jackson or Sam Raimi films,” says Mahaffey. “It’s about a black metal band that conjures a demon accidentally.” Saturday’s films include “Sun Choke,” starring ’80s scream queen Barbara
Gligor met people who knew Von Mahlsdorf and was able to visit the country home that she renovated into a museum, which acts as the setting for the play.

weekender Crampton. Mahaffey describes it as “kind of a psycholog ic a l horror film.” Mahaffey and Huinker are both excited about showing “ I nt e r i o r,” the debut feature from Mahaffey director Zachary Beckler of Orlando. They’ve shown two of his shorts at previous festivals. “All of his films tie in together,” says Mahaffey. “They’re all in the same universe and involve the same haunting at this house, but they’re three different perspectives to it. “It’s really good. It’s very low budget, but it’s really scary. It’s one of the scarier horror films I’ve seen recently.” Saturday will also bring “Turbo Kid,” “which is kind of like ‘Mad Max.’ It’s set in a post-apocalyptic future. It’s more lighthearted. It manages to balance tones really well because it’s a really
‘Steve Jobs’ Michael Fassbender plays the late CEO of Apple in “Steve Jobs,” a biopic that goes behind the scenes to reveal the trials and triumphs of the tech genius. Danny Boyle directed the film, which also stars Kate Winslet and Seth Rogen. “Steve Jobs” opens Friday in local theaters.
“We weave all the works into the story as a part of the action, and most of the poems work that way, too.” The story is told through a series of memories, flashbacks, dreams and nightmares as well as events in the play’s present time, roughly 1840. “The plot, if you can call it that, moves back and forth through time, in and out of Edgar’s memories to create an understanding – fictional, of course – of what gave Poe his macabre bent. “Was he vengeful, warped by emotion or drink or was he just mad? That’s what the play explores. It’s a theatrical piece that’s often a little creepy and has a few good scares for Halloween.” An education-based nonprofit, The Knoxville Children’s Theatre produces professional plays for children, by children.

heartfelt film and you bond with the characters watching it. But it’s insanely gory, like a Troma film.” M o r e than 150 short films were submitted for the festival, Huinker and the organizers say it was tough to pare them down. Some will show before features and the grind-out; others will be screened in blocks. Huinker and Mahaffey both worked at Downtown West years ago, and they’re happy to be able to present shorts there, especially since most people only get to view them online. “It’s great to sit there with an audience and watch them,” says Huinker.

KCT fosters a creative atmosphere where imagination thrives, self-esteem develops, and students learn the many life lessons that creative dramatics can teach. “We’re currently in rehearsal to try and send a shiver up your spine!” says the organization’s Facebook page and indeed, what better time of year is there for such an ambition? “Quoth the Raven: the Tales of Edgar Allan Poe” will be performed at 7 p.m. this Friday, Oct. 23, at 1 and 5 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 24, and 3 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 25. Subsequent performances will follow this format: Thursday and Friday at 7 p.m., Saturday at 1 and 5 p.m., and Sunday at 3 p.m., with the last performance on Sunday, Nov. 8.

Summer may have ended on Sept. 23, but local property sales and mortgage lending maintained a sizzling pace right through Witt the end of the month. The 30-day period ending on Sept. 30 produced 1,063 land transfers in Knox County. That topped the August output by 37 sales and easily bested last September’s total of 844 transfers. It was a busy month for both commercial and resi-

dential activity. The total value of land sold during September was $262.4 million, far surpassing August’s aggregate of $198 million and making September the second-largest month of the summer. By comparison, about $223 million worth of real estate was transferred in Knox County during September 2014. On the lending side, there were five mortgage loans of more than $15 million recorded in September – easily the most of any month so far in 2015. The total amount borrowed against real estate in Knox County for the month was a robust $415.6 million –

over $90 million more than the amount loaned last September. The largest property sale recorded during the month involved a commercial development located near the intersection of Kingston Pike and Concord Road, and better known as Farragut Pointe. The property sold for $11,875,000. The largest lending transaction was a loan to

Jay Nations and Jack Stiles, co-owners of Raven Records & Magpies Bakery owner Peggy Hambright is looking forward to Rarities, hope Open Streets Knoxville will benefit businesses as the fun of Open Streets. Photos by Betsy Pickle well as bicyclists.
Businesses open to concept of Open Streets By Betsy Pickle The difference between open and closed seems, well, open and shut. But even though Open Streets Knoxville this Sunday will close down – to motorized vehicles – a mile of Central Street, businesses along the corridor are looking forward to the expected influx of cyclists and pedestrians. “I’m very excited about it,” says Peggy Hambright, owner of Magpies Bakery, 846 N. Central St. “I think it’s going to be great for this corridor. “It’s a great way to get people down here to see all the new stuff that’s been popping up in the last year or two.” Jay Nations, co-owner of Raven Records & Rarities, 1200 N. Central St., says that having the street filled with pedestrians means his store has a good chance to make an impression. “People tend to poke their head in a shop if they’re walking by more than if they’re in a car,” says Nations, tongue only halfway in cheek. Open Streets, which
takes place 1-4 p.m. Sunday, was organized by Bike Walk Knoxville and inspired by similar cyclist/pedestrian events that have taken root in cities across the United States and throughout Europe. More than a street festival, it aims to encourage physical activity and consideration of alternative transportation, share safety tips and promote local businesses. Many businesses will have special activities in addition to their regular goods and services. There will be plenty of room to move, along with guidance in doing so, with everything from a bike rodeo and bocce ball to Tai Chi demos and yoga classes. Several vendors will have bikes for rent. Most activities will be family friendly, and nearly everything but food is free. “We’re going to set up a tent and have some games,” says Hambright. She’s thought of “a cupcake walk where you have to hold it in a spoon or an old-fashioned cakewalk and give away some stuff.”
For those who want calories to burn off, restaurants from the Old City to Happy Holler – even ones usually closed on Sundays – will be open, and a number of food trucks will set up along the route. Not surprisingly, Matthew Kellogg, president of the Appalachian Mountain Bike Club, which meets monthly at Central Flats & Taps, says the AMBC is fired up about Open Streets. “We are going to basically do a big arts and crafts project,” he says of their “Urban Forest” site, near the railroad tracks in the Old City. “We’re going to bring some of the forest to the streets and encourage people to stop with us for a little bit on their journey up and down Central Street.” Kellogg hopes this isn’t a one-time event. “We’d love to see it happen more often,” he says. “We think it’s good for folks, and we think it’s good for business. “We’re really, really proud of Bike Walk Knoxville for all that they’ve done in the past year, pulling the
(Tennessee) Bike Summit together and also getting this on the schedule and making it happen. It’s huge. It’s great.” It’s also just one step in Knoxville’s quest to become a bike-friendly city. “I think it’ll take a while to change the minds of all the people who aren’t used to driving around bicycles,” says Hambright. “And it scares me, the sort of aggression of some vehicle operators against bikers, like they don’t have a right to be on the road.” Jack Stiles, Raven’s other co-owner, says he’s looking forward to Open Streets and is in favor of promoting cycling. “If I lived in a city that was gridded out and it was comfortable to ride a bike back and forth, I’d do it in a heartbeat,” he says. He definitely sees the need for alternative transportation and “public transportation that makes sense.” “We’re going to have to get away from fossil fuels eventually,” he says.

New chef for The Front Porch By Sandra Clark
Adam Tyler has joined The Front Porch in Powell as the executive chef. Owners Bart and Cindy Elkins could not be happier. “We are a great team,” said Bart Elkins. “Adam has ideas for expanding our menu. We’ve got some great concepts coming.” Tyler trained as a chef at Johnson & Wales University in Charleston, S.C. (now located in Charlotte, N.C.). His experience includes working at Titans Stadium and the Sevierville Convention Center when it opened. Most recently, he was the chef at Gourmet’s Market in Bearden for two years. “I’ve been cooking for 20 years and a chef for 15,” he says. The Front Porch will launch catering, headed by Tyler’s wife, Carrie Tyler, who was catering director at Gourmet’s Market. Bart Elkins is looking for space for a catering kitchen. Space is at a premium at The Front Porch, a renovated 100-year-old house at the
intersection of Emory Road and Spring Street. Elkins said new food concepts will be introduced as “specials” to gauge patrons’ response. Favorites will then come onto the menu. Already, he’s offered a Friday fish fry, pinto beans with cornbread and chicken ’n’ dumplings. A pulled-pork sandwich with Carolina barbecue sauce sold out the first four nights it was offered, he said. “The best way to see our specials is to ‘friend’ us on Facebook,” Elkins added. Tyler calls himself a hands-on chef, “cooking all day long.” He’s worked in larger places but is happy in Powell and laughs that he and Carrie had already bought a house nearby before starting work here. “He’s just what we needed,” said Elkins. “Adam is a creative force and a producer of the food. He’s the total package. He’s creating menu items that are easy to produce here, and that helps our service.” Tyler started Oct. 1.

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER
Yes, you really do need a mammogram October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and the color pink is everywhere as a symbol of the importance of ghting the most common kind of cancer in America. Yet with all the efforts to raise awareness about breast cancer, and the importance of getting a yearly mammogram starting at age 40, many women still won’t. Gayle Roulier, MD, a fellowship-trained mammographer, thinks the main reason women still resist getting those mammograms is because of plain and simple fear. “It’s unfortunate that many women do not come for annual screening mammograms because they’re afraid,” says Roulier. “Some people are afraid of the results, some people are afraid it’s going to be a painful process,” Roulier explains. “It can be uncomfortable for some women, especially if they originally have tender breasts; maybe they have cyclic tenderness, but it’s a very important thing to do, annually.” Roulier practices at Thompson Comprehensive Breast Center, a department of Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center. She emphasizes that the earlier breast cancer is diagnosed, the more successful treatment will be. Mammography can detect cancer before it’s clinically evident – before a patient can feel it. “That’s a huge advantage because if you can’t feel it, you won’t
higher risk of breast cancer, and it is used in addition to mammography for a closer look. Ultrasound traditionally has been more of a problem-solving tool. When something out of the ordinary shows up on a mammogram, there’s no way to tell if it’s uid or solid. Fluid masses in the breast are called “cysts,” and cysts are not cancer. “So when we see something on the mammogram, and we don’t know if it’s uid or solid, ultimately ultrasound helps us solve that problem, because an ultrasound can help us distinguish a uid mass Gayle Roulier, MD from a solid mass.” Roulier says more women are know it’s there,” Roulier says. beginning to use ultrasound as “Mammography allows us to di- a screening tool, especially with agnose breast cancer at an earlier the legislation that’s been passed stage, and treatment can be more in Tennessee and other states successful because of that.” requiring mammographers to Roulier admits there is some make women with dense breasts discomfort involved in a mam- aware of their options. “Basicalmogram, but it only lasts for a few ly, the law says that if a woman seconds.

There is no normal breast,” Roulier says. “Every woman is built differently, and each woman has a unique pattern.” Thompson Comprehensive Breast Center provides complete breast health services, including breast health education, screening, diagnostics and treatment planning. The breast center is certi ed by the American College of Radiology as a Breast Center of Excellence. These services are only available in certi ed facilities that have received FDA approval to offer them. For more information, or to schedule a mammogram, call Thompson Cancer

Can I Afford It? Another reason some women may hesitate about scheduling an annual screening mammogram may be a fear that it will be too expensive. But the cost of screening mammograms is covered by most insurance, without copayments or deductibles, and a doctor’s referral is not required. Talk to your insurance provider to con rm cost and coverage. If you are a woman age 40 or older, Medicare will pay for annual screening mammograms. It pays for one baseline mammogram for female bene ciaries between the ages of 35 and 39, with no deductible.
Early detection is the key
Finding breast cancer early is important for successful treatment. The American Cancer Society has several recommendations for early breast cancer detection: ■ Breast self-exam (BSE): Most health care providers recommend women start doing this monthly in their 20s, although it’s important to realize many women nd lumps accidentally as well. Look for lumps, bumps, skin irritation or dimpling, nipple pain or retraction, redness or scaling of the nipple, or discharge. Tell your health care provider about any changes, but remember, most breast changes do not mean cancer. ■ Clinical breast exam: Have this done once a year by a trained clinician. ■ Mammogram: Most doctors still recommend an annual mammogram after the age of 40, although some recent recommendations say it may be safe to wait longer. Mammograms can detect cancerous lumps too small to feel. Talk to your doctor about the bene ts and limitations of mammograms.
sponsor opportunities
You care, but you’re not sure how to show it. That’s how most people feel when they learn that someone they know has cancer. You don’t have to be eloquent, and it’s not your job to make everything better. Just offer encouragement, speak from the heart, and express your concern. Here are some examples of appropriate things to say: ■ I’m so sorry you’re going through this. ■ I’m here for you. ■ How are you? ■ How can I help? ■ If you ever want to talk, I’m here. ■ You are in my thoughts and prayers. ■ I’m not sure what to say, but I want you to know that I care. Avoid ippant remarks that may come across as dismissing the seriousness of the disease, and instead of initiating humor, take your cues from her. Only share the news of her diagnosis with others if you have her permission. Respect that it’s her story to tell.

Risks for breast cancer: According to the American Cancer Society, some women have a higher risk of developing breast cancer. These include women who have the following: ■ A close relative (mother, sister) who had the disease. ■ The BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene mutation, or have a close relative who has the gene. ■ Radiation therapy to the chest between the ages of 10 and 30. ■ Certain rare medical disorders. ■ A personal history of breast cancer. ■ Extremely dense breasts or unevenly dense breasts when viewed by mammograms.

Ownby’s fitne tness regimen puts a sparkle spar in her eye and helps help her in all areas of her life. Photo Bledso Photography by Bledsoe
on the race By Carol Shane
“I
will confess,” says runner Jennifer Ownby, “it started out about looks. I had some cellulite I wanted to get rid of.” Ownby, who is a legal assistant at Hodges, Doughty & Carson, PLLC, has been dedicated to a consistent fitness regimen since 2011. She’s exercised in fits and starts most of her life, but her family’s medical history, which includes cancer, heart issues and diabetes, concerns her. “I decided this latest fitness spurt was going to stick permanently, or I would probably have some health problems come up,” she says. Right now she’s training for a half marathon in early November. She runs five to six miles a day on a treadmill, then gets outside on the weekends for longer runs. She also includes basic strength training and yoga. “I structure whatever training I do around a goal race or two, and will change my training plan if I feel like it’s not producing results or if I feel an injury coming on. “I’m self-trained. Coaches and trainers are great, but totally out of my budget
f o r now, so I read a lot and follow a lot of resources on vari-ous social al media oututlets.” Along with regular exercise comes mes nutritional awareness. wareness. “I used ed to think ‘Yay, I’m a runner and d I can eat anything hi I want!’” she says. “Nope. When I was training for my first marathon, I ate my way out of a couple of dress sizes. I learned that I need to focus on nutrients.” She eats five to six small meals a day and includes protein at each one. “One thing that really helps is to take some

No food iis ‘‘off-limits,’ ff li i ’ b but I generally stay away from fast foods and sweets. “I will have an occasional cupcake at the office – we have some great bakers – and sometimes after a particularly long workday, one only has the mental fortitude to eat Doritos straight out of the bag! I also have a gin & tonic just about every night.”
She says MyFitnessPal is a great tool for measuring caloric intake. Her FitBit Charge HR also helps. “After measuring & weighing food for a while, you get a feel for how much you need to eat and the tracking becomes unnecessary.” Ownby, who also plays oboe and English horn for the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra, says a consistent fitness regimen helps in other – not just physical – aspects of her life. “I stopped getting nervous before orchestra performances,” she says. There was a particular solo in Tchaikovsky’s “Nutcracker,” for instance, that caused her considerable stress. “I would always freak out before [it.] Couldn’t play it, heart would race, hands would shake. “At the first rehearsal of 2011, after I’d been running for only two or three months, my heart rate did not budge, To page 2

In addition, the sense of accomplishment from her morning workouts helps her through her workday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I get to work and have 10 different things go wrong all at once, if I know that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve already run six miles and deadlifted my body weight a few times that morning, a malfunctioning copy machine is not that big a deal.â&#x20AC;? Ownbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s training has brought about one other unexpected result which could be considered a plus or a minus, depending on oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s point of view. Anyone whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ever run a 5K knows that end-of-race photos can often be hideously hilarious. Sweat, exhaustion and desperation all show on the runnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I follow a blog called â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;RunHaven,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and they put up a post with ugly race photos that others sent in,â&#x20AC;? Ownby says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Send us yours and we might send you a T-shirt!â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I thought, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Oh, I have some that are way worse. I like free T-shirts. What the heck?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? She also sent in a regular photo in order to show that she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always look â&#x20AC;&#x153;like that.â&#x20AC;? Her pictures were published and she got her T-shirt. In fact, if you go to â&#x20AC;&#x153;runhaven.comâ&#x20AC;? and search for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hilariously Ugly Race Photos,â&#x20AC;? itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ownbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s photos that pop up on the thumbnail. And as such things go, the post occasionally enjoys a resurgence on social media. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So this is not dead yet,â&#x20AC;? says Ownby. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Darn it.â&#x20AC;? But her less-than-stellar Internet portrait doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bother her for long. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always focused on the next race, and determined to keep up her healthy lifestyle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Being out on a run for two or three hours or putting yourself through a hard workout,â&#x20AC;? she says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;makes other things easier to handle.â&#x20AC;?

9 Tips for Aging Well 1075407_796.07.14 A-1 Finchum 1.2.indd 1

lthough you can’t stop time, the right type and amount of physical activity can help stave off many age-related health problems. More than half (59 percent) of Americans expect to still be living at home independently at the age of 80, according to a recent survey by the American Physical Therapy Association. However, the same study showed that at least half of the same population recognizes they will see a decline in strength and flexibility as they age. Movement experts such as physical therapists can help aging individuals overcome pain, gain and maintain movement, and preserve independence – often helping to avoid the need for surgery or long-term use of prescription drugs. These nine tips, provided by the experts at the American Physical Therapy Association, are keys to helping you age well: Chronic pain doesn’t have to be the boss of you. Each year 116 million Americans experience chronic pain from
arthritis or other conditions. Proper exercise, mobility, and pain management techniques can ease pain, improving your overall quality of life. You can get better and stronger at any age. Research shows that an appropriate exercise program can improve your muscle strength and flexibility as you age. Progressive resistance training, where muscles are exercised against resistance that gets more difficult as strength improves, has been shown to help prevent frailty. You may not need surgery or drugs for your low back pain. Low back pain is often over-treated with surgery and drugs despite a wealth of scientific evidence demonstrating that physical therapy can be an effective alternative with less risk. You can lower your risk of diabetes with exercise. One in four Americans over the age of 60 has diabetes. Obesity and physical inactivity can To page 4

From page 3 put you at risk for this disease, but a regular, appropriate physical activity routine is one of the best ways to prevent and manage type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Exercise can help you avoid falls and keep your independence. More than half of adults over 65 report problems with movement, including walking 1/4 mile, stooping, and standing. Exercise can improve movement and balance and reduce your risk of falls. Your bones want you to exercise. Osteoporosis, or weak bones, affects more than half of Americans over the age of 54. Exercises that keep you on your feet, like walking, jogging or dancing, and exercises using resistance such as weight lifting, can improve bone strength or reduce bone loss. Your heart wants you to exercise. Heart disease is the No. 1 cause of death in the United States. One of the top ways of preventing it and other cardiovascular diseases is exercise. Research shows that if you already have heart disease, appropri-
ate exercise can improve your health. Your brain wants you to exercise. People who are physically active,
even later in life, are less likely to develop memory problems or Alzheimer’s disease, a condition which affects
