“I wasn’t a big fan of the wedge salad when it first hit restaurants several years ago. I mean, your prep chef doesn’t come in one morning, so you quarter a head of lettuce, drizzle it with dressing and call it ‘trendy’?” Thus writes Shopper-News’ newest writer, The Mystery Diner, who talks about a lettuce wedge posing as dessert.

A public meeting to discuss traffic calming for Murphy Hills subdivision is set for 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 23, at the Black Oak Ridge Baptist Church fellowship hall, 6404 Old Maynardville Highway.

FC Lake update Step one in the restoration of Fountain City Lake is complete with good results, reports Eric Vreeland of the city. “Claiborne Hauling drained the lake and fi xed the leak in the weir,” he said on Friday. “They’re close to done, may need to add a valve. So rain and spring water have raised the water level up to 10 feet in some places,” he said. Large carp were moved to Victor Ashe Park. Step one cost about $50,000, Vreeland said. Next the city will hire a consultant, a water quality engineer, who will analyze what it will take to keep the lake clean. Everything is on the table – ducks, fish, everything. “The consultants should be hired within a month, and they may draw down the water again. We’ve finished the first step toward recovery and now we’ll move to ongoing maintenance.”

Two major highway projects will improve traffic flow through Halls and enhance speed and safety between Knox and Union counties. That’s the word from Steven Borden, Region One director and assistant chief engineer for the Tennessee Department of Transportation. Borden briefed elected officials and reporters during TDOT Commissioner John Schroer’s visit to Knoxville on Oct. 16. Meanwhile, improvements to the I-640/Broadway interchange are on hold pending acquisition of right-of-way. And Gibbs will finally get a traffic signal and intersection improvements at Emory Road and Tazewell Pike. The state is spending almost $30 million to five-lane Highway 33 from Temple Acres to the Knox-Union county line. The proj-

What’s a PECCA: And where is ours? By Betty Bean The candidates for the District 2 school board seat are smart, accomplished women who were probably curve-busters as students, so it was embarrassing when moderator Matt Shafer Powell asked what they thought of PECCA at last week’s League of Women Voters forum. Nobody had an answer. To be fair, the moderator mispronounced it, but neither Charlotte Dorsey, Jamie Rowe nor Tracie Sanger knew what he was talking about. Powell explained that it was the Professional Educators Collaborative Conferencing Act, which has been state law since 2011 when the General Assembly stripped school boards of the authority to engage in collective bargaining with organizations representing teachers – mainly the Tennessee Edu-

and I-75,” he said. The new road will also improve safety by realigning several intersections. The $29,986,969.69 contract was let Oct. 18, 2013, to Charles Blalock and Sons Inc. Expected completion is May 31, 2016. Another project, the Halls Connector, set to be let in federal fiscal year 2016, will enable a safer left turn from Emory Road (SR 131) to Highway 33. The project will eliminate the grassy median and shift Maynardville Highway eastward from Afton Drive to Andersonville Pike, where a traffic signal will be installed.

cation Association – and instead required them to set up something called collaborative conferencing to deal with issues like salaries, benefits, insurance and leave. Knox County became the first school district to start the collaborative conferencing process in October 2011 but may be among the last to fully comply. The school board delegated its authority to Superintendent James McIntyre. PECCA hasn’t been in the news lately. That, from the teachers’ viewpoint, is because nothing is happening. McIntyre, however, reports that things are going swimmingly, even though the deadline to produce a Memorandum of Understanding defining the process of dealing with teachers’ rights and benefits is fast approaching, and Knox County

still doesn’t have one. “I’m pleased with where we are and hopeful about where we are going,” he told the school board at the Sept. 29 workshop. Nowhere in his upbeat, three-minute presentation was a hint of deadline pressure. Tanya Coates, president of the Knox County Education Association and leader of the teachers’ negotiating team, doesn’t share McIntyre’s optimism. She’s seeking divine intercession and forbearance from Nashville: “I pray we make it before the end of November. … We’re in a gray area. I’m going to submit a petition to continue the process (beyond the November deadline).” She also said she doesn’t understand why the training period took an entire year. So what’s the holdup?

sent the candidates an email after the forum, saying he’d been asked to leave one of the collaborative conferencing sessions. He wanted to observe the session with the approval of participating teachers. “What I saw was worse than the teachers had described. Then, after an hour and a quarter, the superintendent forced through a rule change that disallowed citizen observers. I was the only observer at that meeting.

Honoring Bill Kidwell His aptitude for art dates to his first project, done when he was only 2 years old: a Crayola mural on his grandmother Collins’ front door on Ocala Drive in Old Fountain City.

Jim Tumblin

Bill Kidwell was born in Knoxville on July 27, 1934. He attended Fountain City Elementary School and Central High School, graduating in 1954. His firstgrade teacher, Miss Moore, encouraged his artistic bent, and his Central High School art teacher, Miss Virginia Wilson, assisted him in developing his technique. After high school, Bill served in the U.S. Marine Corps for 3 1/2 years, then entered the University of Tennessee where he majored in painting with a minor in art history. Soon C. Kermit Ewing, UT professor and well-known local artist, hired Kidwell as an assistant in the art department. In 1958, a serious injury to the first three fingers of

his right hand during a dress rehearsal for a Carousel Theatre production of “Stalag 17” made it necessary for him to leave school. He taught seventh- and eighthgrade science, health and art at Vestal Junior High and coached the basketball team. After two years he resigned and moved to Miami briefly and then to the Los Angeles area to become a technical illustrator for Lockheed Aircraft. Soon he moved up to department manager, and by his fourth year he was working on the top secret SR-71 Blackbird project. Desiring to pursue his career in art full time, he left California in 1964 and moved to Mazatlan, Mexico, after reading an article in Life magazine about an art colony there. When he discovered that there was no art colony there, not even an art supply shop, he returned to UT to complete his art courses. After finishing UT in 1966 he traveled the eastern U.S. painting various scenes and photographing others for future works. After a sojourn in New Orleans, he moved to Berkeley, Calif., where his work was published in several Bay Area periodicals. Kidwell was inspired by the harbor

scenes he viewed daily from his 40-foot live-in sailboat at Sausalito. He painted in Santa Ana, Calif., for a time but soon moved to Taos, N.M., where he established a gallery connection and experienced robust sales of his Southwestern work. Eventually, his roots in Knoxville brought him home to establish a studio on Fort Loudoun Lake. Soon a one-man show attracted attention at UT and he was asked to teach design and figure drawing and did so for the next two years.

In 1972, Kidwell and a friend, author Cormac McCarthy, completed an awesome 15-foot section of mosaic sidewalk in downtown Maryville. It was valued so highly that it was moved to the plaza in front of the new Blount County Library at a cost of $8,800. Later that year, Kidwell became an artist and photographer for a National Geographic expedition to Yucatan, Mexico. When the project ended, he leisurely traveled north to the U.S. border painting and filming future subjects along the way. His inspired Mexican paintings called for an exhibit, and all the works were sold on opening day. Always open to new challenges, Kidwell moved to 47 acres in Middle Tennessee in 1973. He designed and constructed a threestory passive solar timberframed house. It drew so much admiration that he was asked to design and

build homes for three separate clients in Nashville. After 13 years of managing his own construction business, he wanted to get back to art full time and returned to East Tennessee. Following his successful 49th one-man show in Townsend, he moved back to Middle Tennessee near Columbia, where he lives with his wife, Lizabeth, also an accomplished artist. Their three-story house sits in an idyllic setting on one of the highest elevations in Maury County, with a 360-degree view of the surrounding lawn, pasture and forest. He has restored a small timber-framed building behind the house to use as his studio. Kidwell has never allowed himself to get trapped in one style of painting. Ex-

perimenting with different styles, including realism, over the years, he is now painting in a hard- edge style with emphasis on geometric forms and bright colors. He begins each piece with a fast drawing in pencil about four inches square, then finishes the sketch in a stream-of-consciousness technique. After studying it, making corrections and using colored pencils to complete the drawing, he transfers it to a Masonite board and paints it in acrylic paint. From these small pieces, 8 inches square, 8 inches x 12 inches, etc. he chooses a favorite and paints it in large scale. The Kidwells exhibit their paintings in galleries in Ventura, Calif., and on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. In 2004 Kidwell donated the valuable original of “Hotel Avenue in 1950” to Fountain City Town Hall and authorized 200 signed and numbered reprints. Through his generosity and his willingness to personally autograph the prints at a one-man show at Honor Fountain City Day, the Town Hall Heritage Fund now has a considerable fund balance that, it is hoped, will be used to construct a Welcome to Fountain City monument-type sign at the new Greenway intersection.

TDOT plans to take Norris Freeway to Highway 33, turn right toward Knoxville and double back toward Maynardville. David Royster, a supervisor for TDOT District 18, reported on SR 131, Powell Drive, which will replace Emory Road from Gill Road to Clinton Highway. The $16.1 million contract was let in February 2012 to Potter South East LLC and the road is scheduled to open Dec. 13, 2014. The new road has five

From page A-1 lanes with sidewalks on both sides. It eliminates at-grade railroad crossing, travel through three school zones and occasional flooding. Knox County Commissioner Dave Wright buttonholed officials at the press conference and came away with a promise to let a contract this month for an 18-month project in Gibbs to create turn lanes and install a traffic signal at Emory Road and Tazewell Pike – Harbison’s Crossroads.

From page A-1 put to meet its legal obligation to come up with an MOU by month’s end. One side advocates transparency and has jumped through all the required

hoops to comply with the law. The other side, which chose McIntyre as its face and mouthpiece, has not. Fingering the scofflaw shouldn’t be a tough call.

What’s a PECCA email to the school board: “For months teachers have been telling me that Superintendent McIntyre is not negotiating in good faith during collaborative conferencing meetings. They said he was stalling and wasting time. When I asked if I could observe them, I was told that meetings had been open since the beginning.” Under state law, participants are required to come up with a Memorandum of Understanding by November 2014. The teachers have complied with every requirement of the new law, but the board will be hard

Wright said a signal will be installed on Emory Road at Fairview and Thompson School roads, but that’s a separate project that is now in “preliminary design.” While the Broadway at I-640 interchange remains a priority, TDOT has settled with property owners on just two of 19 parcels required for the project.

Knox County Trustee Ed Shouse looks over his staff’s biweekly pay stubs. Photo by Wendy Smith

Shouse pledges ‘no ghosts’ in Trustee’s Office When Knox County’s new trustee, Ed Shouse, meets with his staff, he provides soft drinks with money from his own pocket. Another staff member is kind enough to bring the cookies. He could use county funds to pay for the snacks, but he’s not going to do that, he says. It’s all part of his effort to save the taxpayers money − and earn their trust. Soon after he took office at the beginning of September, he told staff members to do what they were asked during the upcoming trials of former Trustee Mike Lowe and field auditor Ray Mubarek. “We’re going to move forward and learn from it. But it won’t happen again under my watch,” Shouse says. He personally looks over the pays stubs of the office’s 40 full-time and six parttime employees. There will be no ghost employees, he says, and there won’t be any bonuses awarded, which will separate his office from that of his elected predecessor, John Duncan III. Shouse is too busy looking forward to devote much thought to the mistakes of the past. A few short weeks after he took up his post, 200,000 tax bills were sent out. The office has collected more than $1 million in tax revenue virtually every day since then, he says. The majority of the bills are paid at the main office in the City County Building, but five satellite offices throughout the county also accept payments. His background in finance helps him manage the county’s money. Last year, investments brought in $1 million. The results are mostly market-driven, so he can’t promise to do better this year, but he won’t let the county’s money lie idle, he says. Shouse spent 18 years in the banking industry before buying a small railroad. He went on to work for Gulf &

Wendy Smith

Ohio Railways for 15 years. During both careers, he worked with a broad spectrum of people, and that experience helps him manage the office’s large staff. Taxpayers get a good benefit from the staff, he says. They know their jobs and perform professionally. But he’ll continue to look at staffing levels, and as people retire or leave, positions may be combined to avoid redundancies, he says. He would even give up his own position if he thought it would save the county money. While he’s grateful to hold the elected office for four years, he’d be in favor of it becoming an appointed office or consolidated with the city, if it saved money. “If the public thinks it would be more efficient, I won’t stand in the way of that.” In the meantime, Shouse has goals to accomplish. By next year, he hopes that tax bills can be paid online with no fee. He’d also like to see better returns on investments. He’s currently devoting time to educating citizens about the state-funded Property Tax Relief Program for the elderly and the disabled. The program also has significant benefits for disabled veterans, and widows and widowers of disabled vets. The state has passed legislation that permits counties to freeze property taxes for seniors, but since he doesn’t think property taxes will rise anytime soon, it will have limited benefit, he says. His highest priority is making sure the office is run professionally. “We know who pays our salaries, and we won’t forget that.”

Larry Van Guilder

wouldn’t topple representative government, and there’s nothing illegal about the Haslam family’s generosity. But it exemplifies the new normal: government of the dollar, by the dollar and for the dollar. Like most roads to perdition, the one that brought us here was paved with good intentions. The Watergate scandal shook the nation. When it was revealed that the Committee to Re-Elect the President, “CREEP,” was a super-sized slush fund that paid out thousands in legal fees to defend the Watergate burglars, much pious handwringing ensued. In 1974, the Federal Election Commission was established to enforce the provisions of the Federal Election

Campaign Act of 1971. Individual contributions to a campaign were capped at $1,000, and contributions over $100 had to be disclosed. But federal law placed no restriction on contributions to party committees from individuals and corporations. By the mid-1990s, both major parties were swimming in “soft money,” unregulated and unrestricted. Following several failed attempts to plug that loophole, Congress passed the reform act known as McCain-Feingold in 2002. McCain-Feingold closed the door on large contributions by well-heeled individuals and corporations to national party committees, but it opened another. Big money abhors a vacuum, and it began flowing to outside organizations, often tied to a single issue. The best known is probably the NRA (National Rifle Association). Some in Congress recognized the danger of these groups, but laws intended to

restrict their influence did little but lead to several Supreme Court challenges. Arguably the most overarching (and overreaching) Supreme Court decision came in 2010 with the Citizens United case. When the high court ruled that prohibiting political contributions by corporations and unions other than those made directly to candidates and political parties violated their First Amendment guarantee of free speech, the dam burst. The Super PAC was born, and as of Oct. 15, 2014, these organizations have raised nearly $380 million, according to the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics. Conservatives generally applauded the Citizens United ruling, although one prominent Republican said of campaign finance years ago, “I see no reason for labor unions – or corporations – to participate in politics.” The speaker was none other than the father of modern conservatism, Barry Goldwater.

Steve Hall loses with $42k surplus Early voting is underway, and political observers are surprised that state Rep. Steve Hall has $42,000 left over from his narrow loss to Martin Daniel in the August GOP primary. Had he spent a couple of thousand more dollars he might have gotten another 160 votes and won.

Victor Ashe

What can a defeated legislator do with leftover campaign funds? He cannot convert it to personal use but is otherwise fairly free to spend it or give it away as he wishes. Hall could use it in 2016 if he sought his old job again. It’s unclear whether he can use it for a City Council race when Brenda Palmer’s term ends. He can give it to charity. He can just sit on it and decide later. Hall remains on the state payroll after his term expires on Nov. 4 as he qualifies for a lifetime monthly pension of $300, having served four years and reaching age 55. He will also qualify for a Knoxville pension when he reaches age 62, roughly $2,940 a year with a 3 percent annual escalator based on eight years on City Council. ■ State Sen. Stacey Campfield will also be-

come eligible for a state pension in nine years when he reaches age 55. Based on 10 years of service he could receive $750 a month before taxes or $9,000 a year. Hall now blames the Campfield landslide defeat to Rick Briggs for his loss and says he has not closed the door on a future campaign. Hall endorsed Campfield. ■ Ivan Harmon might seek the Palmer seat again, which would make an interesting race between Hall and Harmon. Harmon is also looking at the mayor’s race in 11 months. ■ GOP candidate Eddie Smith seems happy not to debate Gloria Johnson, which is really surprising for a challenger unless he feels his election is a foregone conclusion. Smith actually makes a good impression on TV and in public speaking as does Johnson. The district loses when the nominees do not appear before different audiences. Meanwhile, Johnson is being blasted by negative mailers from The Tennessee Federation for Children PAC on issues unrelated to children. These may backfire and end up helping Johnson as they appear over the top in several cases. Smith has active GOP support including U.S. Rep. Jimmy Duncan, Sen. Lamar Alexander and Gov. Bill Haslam. Expect Mayor Rogero to become involved for Johnson. ■ Brenda Palmer, a member of City Council, is

recovering well from her surgery to install a pacemaker. Best wishes to her. ■ The closure of Metro Pulse is a loss to the community and will result in less serious news coverage and inquiries behind the scenes. Hopefully, a new alternative paper will emerge similar to the Nashville Scene. Media competition is good for the whole community. Joe Sullivan played a leading role in keeping it alive and active two decades ago. ■ MPC: The new law letting the city or county mayors name the director of MPC is incredibly vague to the point of total fog. The law says the city or county mayor may name the new director, but which one is it? What if each named someone different? The law does not answer it. It is sloppy draftsmanship. The law for which no one claims authorship is silent on who sets the salary. Who

can terminate the director for poor performance? What if the two mayors cannot agree on a choice? The committee that the mayors appear to be naming can only be advisory to them. Mayors cannot delegate their power to hire the director to a committee. Mark Donaldson is departing Jan. 4, but it is now clear a new director will not be hired by then since the joint mayoral committee has not been appointed to plan the search process. The city lobbyist was asleep when this new law was enacted. Even Steve Wise, the longtime MPC attorney, did not know about the law. No one at MPC knew about it. Now that they know about it, they cannot explain it. ■ This writer arrives in Kiev, Ukraine, tomorrow (Oct. 23) for five days to observe their parliamentary election.

Dollars and data: campaign 101 Early voting is underway, and the campaigns that most effectively use money and voter data may be best positioned to win. As you may remember, when you registered to vote, you provided your name, address and telephone number to the election commission. What you may not know is that after each election, the election commission keeps a record of whether or not you voted and, if applicable, whether you voted in a Republican or Democratic primary. All this information is public record and available free of charge at the election commission office. This kind of voter data is incredibly valuable for wellrun campaigns. Candidates use it to focus on folks who vote most frequently, and thus are most likely to show up at the polls. (In a similar way, a City Council candidate may decline to spend time or mon-

ey contacting a voter who votes only in presidential elections.) Ever wonder why you get all that campaign mail? Or how campaign workers (who always seem to call at dinnertime) know your home telephone number? They likely got that information from voter registration data. In a local school board race such as the current hotly contested battle for second district, campaigns have most likely targeted about 8,000 households for direct mail, phone calls and door-to-door visits. This is two to three times as many voters as a typical school board election because this special election is being held during a November election cycle, not in May or August. Reaching more prospective voters costs more money – especially for a firsttime candidate with low name recognition. And one first-time candi-

Scott Frith

date is raising a lot of money. It’s been widely reported that second district candidate Tracie Sanger raised $43,045 during the last reporting period. Sanger has faced criticism because some of that money came from high-profile donors (i.e. the Haslam family) who live outside the district. From the coverage, you’d think no candidate has ever raised this much money in a district race or has ever accepted campaign donations from outside the district. It’s more common than you might think. Just four years ago, former seventh district County Commissioner R. Larry Smith reported raising $43,802.35 in one report-

ing period. (Note: $5,645.35 of this total was transferred from an earlier 2006 campaign account. You can view Smith’s complete Feb. 2, 2010, disclosure at knoxvotes.org.) As Smith’s disclosure shows, quite a few donations came from outside the district – just like Tracie Sanger’s. Not surprisingly, strong fundraising correlates with a strong campaign. In 2010, R. Larry Smith prevailed against two other opponents. Of course, we won’t know until election night if Tracie Sanger’s fundraising will be enough to win. She’s facing strong opposition from neighborhood activist Jamie Rowe and retired educator Charlotte Dorsey. Early voting is underway. If you live in the second district, the outcome may be up to you. Scott Frith is a local attorney. You can reach him at scott@pleadthefrith.com.

government The case for Gloria Johnson Gloria Johnson is fighting for her life. Make no mistake. State Rep. Johnson won election two years ago by some 200 votes against a good candidate, Gary Loe, who was painted as GOPlite by some party activists. That’s not the case this year, as the more conservative Eddie Smith squeaked by Jason Emert in the August Republican Primary. It’s hard to carve two predominately Democratic districts in heavily Republican Knox County. And veteran state Rep. Joe Armstrong got first dibs on the Ds. District 13 extends from Sequoyah Hills to Fourth and Gill; from South Knoxville to Old North. Demographically, the district resembles my cat Marbles.

Sandra Clark

Johnson stands tall for teachers, kids and blue-collar families. Hers is a voice for women in a testosteroneladen General Assembly. Would I want 100 Gloria Johnsons in the Legislature? No, because we differ on economic and role-ofgovernment issues. But on education and social issues, I find solidarity with her. Gloria Johnson articulately speaks for the underrepresented, while her opponent is just one more vote for the GOP super-majority.

Why government fails to protect health and safety I am Joseph Carson, PE. I have lived in East Tennessee for almost a quartercentury, raising my family, while running the gauntlet as a licensed professional engineer (PE) employed by the Department of Energy, in positions with significant responsibilities for public and worker health and safety, including nuclear safety and security. So what to you, my neighbor in East Tennessee? Well, I’m named for a New York City fireman, my grandfather, and grew up in Brooklyn. I watched the erection of the World Trade Center when walking to the

Joe Carson

subway to go to high school. My lasting reaction to 9/11 is relief – at least it was not nuclear – knowing firsthand as I do the deeply entrenched culture of reprisal and corruption in DOE, custodian of America’s nuclear stockpile and the lead federal agency for securing nuclear weapons materials around the world. After 9/11, I determined

to find out why DOE could repeatedly, with impunity, break the law to punish me (and intimidate co-workers into silence) for my doing my duty to protect your health and safety. Now I know why, and I fear for America and civilization’s future if my concerns continue to be stonewalled by President Obama and DOE Secretary Ernest Moniz. Simply put, our federal government is too often failing in its duty to protect the health, safety, security and welfare of America. Why? Because the system to regulate the management

culture in federal agencies is broken. Why? Because of decadeslong, compounded, continuing law-breaking in two tiny, obscure federal agencies, Office of Special Counsel and Merit Systems Protection Board. Why? Because despite their size and obscurity, they have essential responsibilities for regulating the management culture in every federal agency, including government corporations such as the TVA. I contend the results include 9/11, going to war in Iraq for false reasons, space shuttles falling out of the

sky, economic meltdown, levee failures in New Orleans, Benghazi, IRS abuses, DOE sick workers, seemingly endless VA health-care scandals, 2008 TVA fly ash spill, 2010 Gulf oil spill, GM ignition switches, endless Medicare fraud, etc. I say this publicly, consistent with my understanding of my positive legal duties as a PE licensed in Tennessee, regardless of possible risk to my PE license, federal job and pension. What can you do to help protect yourself, by helping federal employees protect you? U.S. Rep. John Duncan

for allowing us to serve you for the past 50 years!

Jr. has been following my situation for two decades. He has said if more of his constituents contacted him about my concerns, it would give him more reason and ability to push for their resolution. I hope he will call upon President Obama to comply with his duty to federal agency employees by directing a review of my concerns by the Office of Legal Counsel of the Department of Justice. Your contacting Rep. Duncan’s office and asking him to do so could make the difference for our common future in East Tennessee.

Buckets of rain, buckets of fun at

Fall Homecoming

As the Museum of Appalachia celebrated its 35th Fall Homecoming, I went out on Wednesday afternoon to set up my table. It was a beautiful day.

Bonnie Peters

With the staff’s help, the setup was a breeze. Since the Walton Farms people were setting up and I could pull my car very close to their display, I took the opportunity to purchase my annual sweet potato squash. It’s big and it’s beautiful. Someone asked me how many pies I can get from it; I’m guessing six. Obviously I’ll freeze most of it and make a pie or two as desired. What you may not know about Walton Farms is this: my classmate Irene Walker married into the Walton family, which continues to operate Walton Farms in Corryton. Last year they had already contracted to sell all the pumpkins, gourds, squash, cushaws and the like that didn’t sell at the Homecoming. I’ll bet the same is true this year. I had a ball seeing all my friends from across the world. Billy Kennedy was back and brought his brother, Gary, for his first trip to the United States. Billy writes for the Belfast News Letter in Northern Ireland and has authored books on Scots-Irish. Dave Tabler, who runs website appalachianhistory. net, was back again from Delaware and stopped by to tell me that Karen Spears Zacharias, author of “Mother of Rain,” has won several awards for that book. In particular, she won the Weatherford Award

God, the show-off For you shall go out in joy, and be led back in peace; the mountains and the hills before you shall burst into song, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands. (Isaiah 55: 12 NRSV) My husband and I recently drove to New England to see the colors and soak up some history. We had a narrow window of opportunity because of responsibilities at home, so we tried to make every day count. First we went to Gettysburg, walking over those hallowed hills. I remembered vividly the Halloween night so many years ago, when I lived at Gettysburg. That night I saw the only ghost I have ever seen. Driving under a full moon, toward Chambersburg, through the battlefield, I was quoting Alfred Noyes’ “The Highwayman”: “The moon was a ghostly galleon tossed among cloudy seas … When a highwayman came riding …” Suddenly, to the right, there was a horseman, coming toward us at an angle, up

Sweet Potato Man. He has sweet potatoes; however, with the continuing rain, he is afraid his sweet potato crop is going to rot before it gets dry enough for him to harvest them. Tom Brown, collector of heritage apple trees, did not make the Homecoming this year, but a newcomer on the scene was carving appleface dolls. As she gets a face carved, she soaks the apple in water, the juice of a lemon and about a teaspoon of salt to give the face a “good complexion.” It rained every day of the Homecoming, but the loyal participants refused to allow the rain to dampen our spirits. We just chose to have buckets of fun anyway.

Bushels of fun at the apple festival By Ruth White Stepping onto the grounds at the Washington Presbyterian Church Apple Festival is almost like stepping back in time. Tents set up in a huge grassy lot are filled with all things apple. Music from a live band fills the air as does the smell of barbecue ribs and the scents of fall, thanks in part to the large bonfire that breaks the chill for guests. In addition to apple butter, fried apple pies and fresh apple cider, the festival also features stone-ground cornmeal for sale, a craft market, children’s activities and a delicious barbecue dinner.

On Wednesday, my Army-style volunteers Carol Springer and Ruth White and I are heading to Sarah Moore Greene Magnet Academy, where principal Susan Espiritu and an energized staff are creating a community school. Our newspaper club is one of 15 that meet weekly after school to engage small groups. We’ll find out today if our student journalists volunteered Army-style, too. It won’t matter. As long as people have stories to tell and opinions to share, there will be newspapers. Our graphics folks created five choices for the name (my favorite is SMG Growlers), and the kids will vote. We will invite guests from the neighborhood to be interviewed. Kids will take pictures, ask questions and write, write, write. We’ll publish weekly online and via computer printer. And the best stuff I’ll share here. Writers must believe that others care what we think. Whether we transmit by type, byte or smoke signals, self-confidence (ego) is the

Education: ‘50 myths and lies’

David Berliner is coming to town for a free lecture at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 28, at The Foundry at World’s Fair Park. A reception will precede the talk. Berliner’s latest book is “50 Myths & Lies That Threaten America’s Public Schools: The Real Crisis in Education.” It’s a provocative book and I’m expecting a challenging talk, thanks to the Billie Grace Goodrich family, which sponsors the annual lecture. “Myths are beliefs in things that may or may not be true but that fill the void left by ignorance,” he writes. How’s that for a grabber? Berliner’s book tackles such myths as school uniforms improve performance; homework boosts achievement; and zero-tolerance policies are making schools safe. And my personal favorite: IQ tests predict success in life (so therefore group ’em early). My best wish for this lecture is a front row occupied by Jim McIntyre and Tim Burchett, with the Chamber’s Mike Edwards in the middle. Y’all come!

Oh, the horror! Scary fest is upon us Whether you like your horror films to be giggly or gory, the Knoxville Horror Fest 666 will meet your desires. The sixth annual festival takes place Friday through Sunday at Regal’s Downtown West Cinema 8 in West Knoxville and at Scruffy City Hall on Market Square.

Betsy Pickle

Astron 6’s horror comedy “The Editor” pays homage to the Giallo Italian crime films.

Tennessee’s only horror film festival, the Knoxville Horror Fest makes it a point to bring in films that otherwise would be hard to catch on the big screen, festival director William Mahaffey says. “You won’t be able to see these films anywhere else,” says Mahaffey. Some will be available through on-demand platforms and possibly DVD, but there’s nothing like watching horror films at a theater, with an audience. “That’s what makes the film festival a particularly fun experience,” he says. One of the highlights will be closing night’s “Housebound,” a New Zealand horror comedy that premiered at the South by Southwest Festival and has earned raves at every festival it’s played. “It may be one of the best ones that we have,” says Mahaffey, who notes that it received an endorsement from director Peter Jackson. He’s personally looking forward to watching the short-film collection “ABCs of Death 2” with a crowd. “I liked the first one, but it was mixed. Some of them were grim and messed up. This one is really, really fun.

It’s two hours long, but it didn’t seem that long. The shorts were fun, crazy and out there. It’s the perfect movie to watch with an audience.” Lloyd Kaufman of Troma Films served as guest judge but will be unable to attend in person. Passes for the entire weekend ($60) or for daily screenings (varies) are

available online. Purchase passes or check out the schedule at knoxvillehorrorfilmfest.com. Individual tickets will be sold prior to showtime Friday and Saturday at Downtown West and Sunday at Scruffy City Hall. The Grindhouse GrindOut, a competition of trailers for real and imaginary horror films, will be on Saturday night.

NEW IN THEATERS Horror films always get a big push this time of year, but there are some exceptions. Here’s a look at movies scheduled to open in Knoxville this weekend: ■ “John Wick” – Keanu Reeves plays a hitman who comes out of retirement to get vengeance from the gangsters who took everything from him. The cast includes Willem Dafoe, Dean Winters, Bridget Moynahan, John Leguizamo, Ian McShane and Lance Reddick. ■ “Ouija” – A group of friends brings something dangerous over from “the other side” when they mess with a Ouija board. Olivia Cooke of TV’s “Bates Motel” stars. ■ “St. Vincent” – A single mom (Melissa McCarthy) reluctantly leaves her son in the care of a cantankerous neighbor (Bill Murray) with a fondness for alcohol, gambling and strip clubs. Naomi Watts also stars. ■ “23 Blast” – A high-school football star stricken with irreversible blindness opts to pursue the unobtainable. Actor Dylan Baker (“Spider-Man” 2 & 3) makes his directing debut and co-stars in this film starring Mark Hapka, Bram Hoover, Stephen Lang and Kim Zimmer.

Oliver (Jaeden Lieberher) and Vincent (Bill Murray) get down in “St. Vincent.”

Have cello, Cellist Cecilia Miller stops between lessons at the Community School of the Arts to talk about her upcoming California tour. “I was just invited to go on tour with a band called Lucette. We’re mostly playing on the West Coast and opening for Mason Jennings and Sturgill Simpson,” she says. “I’m excited to travel and play!” Jennings is well known for his catchy, tuneful popfolk. Simpson leans more toward country. He performed his song “Living the Dream” on TBS’s “Conan” in mid-September. Both styles – and a panoply of others – are just fine with Miller, whose own musical tastes are eclectic. The slender, long-haired cellist with the gentle smile is easily recognizable to local music fans. She’s been appearing with the Lonetones, the popular “mountain indie pop” Knoxville duo, for the past two years and recently played at the Bijou with Trampled by Turtles, who have appeared on the “Late Show with David Letterman” and who maintained a position in the Top

10 on the Billboard bluegrass charts for 52 straight weeks. She’s also played with the Apocalypso Quartet and the alt-metal band 10 Years. “I started (music) in fifth grade,” Miller says. But the young string student soon discovered that she enjoyed playing many kinds of music. “In high school I began playing with bands just for fun. Later I began playing with Maggie Longmire. That experience helped me realize how much I loved improvising with different musicians.” She comes by her vocation honestly. Her mom, Stacy Nickell Miller, is a KSO cellist, and her dad, Clark, is an award-winning guitar/fiddle/banjo player versed in the old Appalachian style. Her uncle, Andrew Wentzel, is a professor

to change. This summer she played with the Lonetones at the Bristol Rhythm and Roots Festival, and now she’s getting ready to head for California and the tour, starting in early November. “I just have to find a way to transport my cello. That should be interesting.”

A little research shows that the classic wedge salad dates back to the early 1900s and was often called “hearts of lettuce” salad. It was said to be popular with men, who liked to pour creamy dressing on it. Most restaurants today have enhanced the lettuceand-dressing wedge with all kinds of good toppings, which is why I am now a fan. One of my favorites is the Lakeside Tavern Wedge. Homemade bleu cheese dressing, Roma tomatoes, Applewood bacon, bleu cheese crumbles and those scrumptious caramelized pecan halves take it off anyone’s diet menu, but it’s worth the deviation.

Sam Maner has interest in the odd

By Carol Shane

Sam Maner admits heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always had a taste for the strange. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the owner of Steampunk Kollectic Oddities, Antiques & Scents, the unique store in Lenoir City that he runs with the help of his wife, Lori, and daughter, Kiera. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in the market for creepy collectibles this time of year, you couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find a better place to browse and buy. Like a mummified cat in its own coffin. Or a stuffed two-headed rabbit. Or a hemoglobin extractor from the 1920s that looks like something out of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Alien,â&#x20AC;? and that makes me glad I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have my hemoglobin extracted in the 1920s. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s even a solid cedar coffin thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been made into a couch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;demonstrator,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? says Sam. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was used for viewings when the body was going to be cremated.â&#x20AC;? Now that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a couch, it could go in your living room. Get it? Maner, who spent much of his young life in Fountain City, lost his father at age seven and was raised by his mother and grandmother. He went to UT and finished up a bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree in history at ETSU, working at restaurants such as the Copper Cellar and Chesapeakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s during college. But his grandmotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s abiding love for family history and stories had made its mark on Maner early on, and because of her he became heavily involved in genealogy.

Two-headed rabbits, birds and gruesome medical devices are only a few of the curiosities you can find at Steampunk Kollectic Oddities, Antiques & Scents in Lenoir City.

Peeking over the top of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;coffin couchâ&#x20AC;? along with Sam are daughter Kiera and wife Lori. The well-dressed woman on the couch itself seems to have fared a bit worse. Photos by Carol Shane

He now teaches the subject at the Hardin Valley campus of Pellissippi State Community College. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I eat, breathe and sleep genealogy,â&#x20AC;? says Sam. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done it all my life.â&#x20AC;? In addition to teaching at Pellissippi, he also used to work for Ancestry.com, and freelanced in the area quite a bit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where do you come from? Who are your people?â&#x20AC;? he asks me, laughing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can find out for ya!â&#x20AC;? Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also an active member of the Sons of the Revolutionary War, and he

Some of them are for such benign purposes as holding the neck of a beaker, though they look a lot scarier. But not all of Steampunk Kollectic is creepy. Handmade leather goods fill a display case, dolls and toys spill over shelves, and over in the knife collection you can find famed moonshiner â&#x20AC;&#x153;Popcornâ&#x20AC;? Suttonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s knife which sports a carved squirrel (or a weasel?) as a

sports a retro-stylish pair of muttonchops which are a giveaway to his love for an earlier time. His interest in history led him to serve as Sevier Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history librarian for eight years. It was there that he met Arthur â&#x20AC;&#x153;Miloâ&#x20AC;? Bohanan, who was righthand man to a local celebrity â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Dr. Bill Bass of UTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s famed â&#x20AC;&#x153;Body Farm.â&#x20AC;? Maner in turn met Dr. Bass. Which leads us back to Steampunk Kollectic. Maner has a whole case full of ghoulish accessories

handle. Turns out Manerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grandfather dabbled in the trade himself and knew the liquor-makinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; legend personally. Several vendors have space there, including Virginiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Clothery, where you can find lovely vintage wear. Other shops-within-theshop are Native American Treasures and Sci-Fi Corner. Classes in essential oils and soapmaking are also offered. And booths are available for other vendors who want to join up.

Corker to share

Chattanoogaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s outdoor success story â&#x20AC;Ś at luncheon By Betsy Pickle The annual Legacy Parks Foundation Luncheon celebrates successes and looks to the future of the outdoors in Knoxville. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fundraising event features a speaker with similar experience in a different Tennessee city. U.S. Sen. Bob Corker, who served as Chattanoogaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mayor 2001-2005, will speak at the luncheon, set for 11:30 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 5, on the Urban Wildernessâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s site donated by the Wood family in 2013. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Outdoor Chattanooga was his initiative,â&#x20AC;? says Car-

ol Evans, executive director of Legacy Parks Foundation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He commissioned a study for Chattanooga on what they should be, and out of that came Outdoor Chattanooga. That actually became a division of their parks department, and it really set a course for the city, I think. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It caused them to move ahead with embracing the outdoor assets â&#x20AC;&#x201C; ahead of us.â&#x20AC;? In the past few years, two outdoor magazines have named Chattanooga the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top outdoor city. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Economically, it works,â&#x20AC;? Evans says of promoting outdoor activities and culture. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year they transformed one of their downtown blocks into an outdoor

climbing wall.â&#x20AC;? She says Corkerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appearance will not be about politics. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about him being able to speak to what it means to take advantage of what you have.â&#x20AC;? The luncheon, which is expected to draw around 800 attendees, is being held at the Wood site off Taylor Road â&#x20AC;&#x153;to call attention to what we hope will emerge out of that property and out of the end of the James White Parkway,â&#x20AC;? Evans says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The big vision would be that the end of the James White Parkway is not an end; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a beginning and an entry into the Urban Wilderness and a beautiful gate-

way into South Knoxville. â&#x20AC;Ś There are 11 acres at the end of the parkway that TDOT owns and has indicated they would like for the city to have. Hopefully that can be land that we end up connecting to the Wood property.â&#x20AC;? The land is adjacent to South-Doyle Middle School

and its outdoor classroom, providing an opportunity to connect students with areas where they can walk and play. At last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s luncheon, Gov. Bill Haslam announced a $200,000 Recreational Trails Program grant for Legacy Parks to create trails on the Wood land. The

funds were delayed for 2014 disbursement, but Evans says that has worked to the advantage of the site. Legacy Parks had come up with a trails plan, but while waiting for the money to come through, they were approached by the University of Tennesseeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Landscape Architecture program. Faculty and students have been working to assess and inventory the property and to make recommendations. Evans says the trail designs can be modified based on the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s findings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just thinking of the 100 acres as a location for trail, but truly as an open forest and what should we be doing with that,â&#x20AC;? she says. While Legacy Parks is primarily known for helping the city develop parks in South Knoxville, the group is creating a stormwater demonstration park in Northwest Knox County, working on creating public access points along the French Broad, Holston and Tennessee rivers, and developing equestrian trails in East Knox County. Legacy Parks also helped raise funds for Clayton Park in Halls and managed Seven Islands Wildlife Refuge for four years until it became a state park. Luncheon tickets are $100 per person or $1,000 per table. For reservations call 525-2585 or visit www. legacyparks.org.

News from Knoxville’s Community Development Corporation (KCDC)

Fundraiser bridges gap at Northgate Terrace By Alvin Nance More than 150 North Knox neighbors came to a block party in early October to support The Manor at Nor t hgate Terrace, an Nance af fordable, independent living community for seniors and the only facility of its kind in the state of Tennessee. The Manor, a KCDC property, provides supportive services, including meals delivered daily to individual apartments, daily resident safety checks, specialized case management, emergency call pendants, laundry service, housekeeping and social activities. All of these services are provided at a fi xed rate of

$515, but even at this low rate, many of the 41 seniors, who live on a fi xed income, have little money left at the end of the month for necessary items. The actual cost to Knoxville’s Community Development Corporation to provide these services is about $600, but raising the monthly rent would be a burden on the residents. The block party raised more than $2,500. When Life Care EMS special events manager Kenton Powell heard about the Manor and the challenges it faces, he decided the company needed to get involved. “The more we learned about the Manor, the more we fell in love with it,” Powell said. “It was just something that touched us, and we wanted to do everything we could to help them out.” Teresa Lawson, senior asset manager for The Man-

Teresa Lawson or at Northgate Terrace, said the community support was overwhelming. In addition to Life Care EMS’ support, North Knoxville organizations donated everything from plates and forks to food. The party offered hamburger and hotdogs for $5 and featured DJ music and booths with

Preventing abuse of painkillers … is drug commission’s challenge By Bonny C. Millard The abuse of powerful prescription drugs has become the biggest challenge in fighting drug addiction. That was the sobering message brought to the Rotary Club of Farragut from Karen Pershing, the executive director of the Metropolitan Drug Commission. Pershing, who has been with the nonprofit for four years, said the organization strives to educate the public and to prevent drug abuse. More people die from accidental drug overdoses in American than are killed in car accidents, she said. The legality of prescription

Karen Pershing, Metropolitan Drug Commission drugs combined with complex medical issues have contributed to increase abuse. Drugs are beneficial and necessary until a patient starts taking them incorrectly, she said.

Pershing said that people have come to expect pain management to mean no discomfort or pain at all, adding that 99 percent of the world’s hydrocodone usage is in the United States, which has only five percent of the world’s population. “That just shows you how much we like our drugs in the United States.” Pershing works with different agencies in Knoxville and across the state to educate people about drugs and addiction and to facilitate policy-level changes. She is particularly concerned about babies born into addiction and preventing teenagers from getting in-

local jewelry artists, senior services and neighborhood organizations. “The whole community supported us,” Lawson said. “Local organizations donated food and other items so nearly all of our costs were covered. The money raised from this event directly benefited our senior residents.” Lawson said she hopes the fundraiser educated the community about the positive impact the Manor has on senior residents and their families. I am very proud of the Manor staff and thankful to our friends in North Knoxville for stepping up to help KCDC continue to provide this service to the community. Through these supportive services, seniors can stay independent longer and have a better quality of life. Alvin Nance is executive director of KCDC.

volved in drugs. Last year in Tennessee, 921 babies were born with Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome or NAS, she said. These babies go through painful drug withdrawal, and the long-term effects are not known. So far this year, 747 NAS births have occurred, she said, and the number will probably surpass last year. Pershing will soon launch a public awareness campaign called “Born Drug Free Tennessee.” The campaign will be aimed at preventing NAS, and she hopes this will become a statewide push. The campaign was developed from a similar program in Florida, and MDC has received assistance from the originating agency.

Jerry Wear says, ‘Light up Rotary’ By Sandra Clark Jerry Wear reminded everyone present why it’s beneficial for all concerned to join Rotary. “He made it come alive,” said assistant district governor Randy Corlew. Wear and his wife, Linda, were guests of North Knoxville Rotary Club last week. The retired Sevier County educators have traveled extensively since Jerry was elected district governor, Linda said. He’s visited 51 of the district’s 65 clubs. Jerry Wear said Rotary does a lot of good, both locally and internationally, but doesn’t do such a good job of telling about it. “It’s not bragging if you tell what you do and why you do it.” He spoke of three projects funded through the Rotary Foundation: a cleft palate program and orphanage, both in Mexico, and Rotary International’s signature project to eradicate polio.

The orphanage is home to 66 girls, ages 3 to 18, who are known as “throwaways,” he said. Abandoned by family, they are often exploited as prostitutes or drug mules. The orphanage provides a safe home and food and sends the kids to public schools. Kids born with cleft lips or palate often die because they can’t take their mother’s milk, Wear said. Those who survive are outcasts. Medical personnel including plastic surgeons volunteer their time and Rotary pays hospital expenses for children, some of whom require more than one operation. But with all the good Rotary does, “your first obligation is to serve the people around you – right here,” Wear said. Pointing to his flashy necktie, a gift from Gary C.K. Huang, Rotary’s international president, Wear said Huang’s message is “Light up Rotary.”

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

Breast cancer during pregnancy In June 2014, Tiffany Eldridge of New Market, 31, was in the ﬁnal month of pregnancy with her second baby when she found a lump in her breast. “It was bigger than a pea, like a grape. It did not hurt. I thought it was a swollen gland that was pregnancy related, and I told my doctor right away,” she said. “I never thought about breast cancer.” Although very rare, breast cancer during pregnancy occurs in 1 out of every 3,000 pregnant women, making it the most common form of cancer found during pregnancy, according to the American Cancer Society. Less than a month after her Csection delivery, Eldridge went to Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center for a mastectomy performed by Dr. Randal Graham. “Dr. Graham met with us and he was so kind,” Eldridge said. “He was with us about an hour and half and laid out all of my options. “I considered a double (mastectomy), but since I have a 3-yearold and a newborn, Dr. Graham recommended performing surgery on only one side at ﬁrst, just so I’d be able to take care of my girls bet-

ter. After all my other treatments are complete, I will have another mastectomy, but no radiation will be needed after my chemotherapy.” Eldridge said her surgery went smoothly at Fort Sanders. “It was wonderful, I don’t have any complaints. The nurses were great,” she said. Now Eldridge spends one day each week receiving chemotherapy treatment across the street, at

Tiffany and Kevin Eldridge enjoy an afternoon with beautiful daughters, Ilee and baby Avery.

Just a few of the “I Wear Pink for Tiffany” team members supporting the upcoming Susan G. Komen and Buddy’s Race Against Cancer events in support of cancer survivor Tiffany Eldridge.

Surgical options for breast cancer When a patient is diagnosed with breast cancer, surgery is often one of the first options discussed. “When it comes to breast cancer, we generally treat the whole breast,” said Dr. Troy Kimsey, a surgical oncologist at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center. “We either do a mastectomy (in which the whole breast is removed) or breast conservation (where the mass is removed and the remainder of the breast undergoes radiation treatment). With a lumpectomy, some type of radiation is always required. For low-risk tumors, Kimsey says, radiation can be applied specifically to the lumpectomy site with fewer side effects than standard radiation. There is no significant difference in survival between women who choose a mastectomy versus breast conservation, Kimsey said. “They’ve looked at this comparison extensively in thousands of women and have never demonstrated a difference in overall survival rates between women undergoing mastectomy versus breast conservation. There’s a slightly higher risk of recur-

rence with breast conservation, but it doesn’t translate into a greater survival advantage,” said Kimsey. Women who have a lumpectomy must also have radiation, and that is not always possible for some patients, either for health or logistical reasons, he added. “Some women can’t come to radiation five days a week for six to seven weeks,” he said. “There’s also a population of women that really desire to have everything removed, and they aren’t particularly focused on conserving their breast. They’ll usually opt for mastectomy.” The decision to do chemotherapy depends on the type of tumor and whether it has spread outside of the breast, for example to the lymph nodes in the axilla, or armpit. “Historically, we removed all of the axillary lymph nodes in women with breast cancer, but in the last 15 years or so, a technique called ‘sentinel’ lymph node biopsy has been developed,” said Kimsey. “This tests the first lymph nodes in the axillary chain. If these are negative, we don’t remove the other lymph nodes.”

In the future, Kimsey said breast cancer treatment will involve a more thorough understanding of each type of tumor and the type or treatment to which it will respond. “I think the future of breast cancer treatment will involve an understanding of the biology of each particular breast cancer including the genetic profile and receptor status of each tumor,” he said, “and tailoring the treatment to that particular breast cancer.” In addition, Kimsey stresses that good breast cancer treatment begins with screening. “The thing that’s made the greatest impact on outcomes in breast cancer is screening. The earlier we detect breast cancer, the better patients do,” Kimsey said. “We recommend yearly mammograms starting for most women at age 40,” he said. “If a woman has a family history of breast cancer, she should start screenings 10 years before the age of their diagnosis.” For more information on breast cancer diagnosis and treatment, call 673-FORT or visit www.fsregional.com.

Thompson Cancer Survival Center. “Everybody has been awesome and they’re all very understanding and kind,” she said. “They’re very special people to deal with patients who are so emotional and going through a hard time.” Eldridge’s husband, Kevin, designed a T-shirt that says, “I wear pink for Tiffany.” He and other friends and family plan to wear their shirts in the upcoming Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure on Oct. 18 and the Buddy’s Race Against Cancer on Nov. 9, sponsored by Thompson Cancer Survival Center. “My husband’s going to run and others, and my girls and I are going to wait at the ﬁnish line,” said Tiffany Eldridge. “Since all of this happened, my sister and cousin have both had mammograms. “It has raised awareness in my family for sure,” she said. “I hope my experience helps somebody else.” To schedule a mammography appoint at the Thompson Comprehensive Breast Center, a department of Fort Sanders Regional, please call 865-541-1624.

Fort Sanders welcomes Dr. Troy Kimsey Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center welcomes Dr. Troy Kimsey. Kimsey is a board-certiﬁed general and oncology surgeon. Originally from Athens, Ga., and a graduate of the University of Georgia, Dr. Kimsey earned his medical degree from the Medical College of Georgia and completed his residency there. Dr. Kimsey completed a fellowship in surgical oncology at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York. Prior to coming to Knoxville, Dr. Kimsey spent six years practicing broad-based general surgical oncology and helping in the development of a community-based regional cancer Dr. Troy Kimsey center in Southwest Georgia.

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.

a secondary crime for mentioning Richardson by name. The coach also received a reprimand from SEC commissioner Mike Slive for hoof-in-mouth disease. Florida athletic director Jeremy Foley was so angry, there was a hint of bodily harm – or legal action. There was a minor dustup with Saban about Memphis recruiting. The “you’ll be pumping gas if you go to South Carolina” quote bestowed on Alshon Jeffery riled Steve Spurrier. Naughty, naughty, we don’t talk that way in the SEC. But you might get away with mentioning food stamps. We’ll never forget the Orange Pride episode, friendly female students from the University of Tennessee visiting high school games to tell football youth why they should become Volunteers for life. The New York Times made it worse than it was. Assistant coach David Reeves, Lane’s brother-inlaw, took the fall. If you don’t look too closely at talent evaluation, ethics, principles and the 2009 Mississippi game, the Kiffin year wasn’t too bad. It was better than some that followed.

Living in harmony A

By Carol Shane

fter an extremely l relaxing l i session i recently at the Inner Harmony Health Center in Walland, Tenn., I remark to its owner, Suzanne Jonas, who holds a doctoral degree in counseling psychology from the University of Massachusetts, that achieving spiritual, physical and emotional balance is probably one’s most important goal. “That,” she replies, “and serving others.” Jonas has been serving others for over 30 years as a vibro-acoustic therapist in the burgeoning field of music medicine. She defines her specialty as the “intentional use of specific sounds and music to make physiological and emotional changes.” Most aptly described as a cross between music therapy and biofeedback, Jonas stresses that music medicine – unlike some music therapy, where the patient can be involved in drumming or some other type of musical activity – is “generally passive. You’re a listener – not a maker – of music.” Much of Jonas’s work, she says, is backed up by studies in quantum mechanics. “Everything has its own frequency rate,” she explains. “The primary way to find out what sounds would be beneficial [to a patient] is by looking for frequencies in the body that are out of balance and then balancing them.” According to the website www.

musicandlearning.com, “vibro-acoustic therapy is a recently recognized technology that uses sound in the audible range to produce mechanical vibrations that are applied directly to the body. The technology uses speakers or transducers placed within mats, mattresses, chairs, recliners, tables, or soft furniture to provide a physiologic and auditory experience. Benefits include pain management, anxiety relief, symptom reduction, physical therapy and health improvement.”

Although music medicine can be used in a wide variety of settings, Jonas’ work has mainly been in the field of health care. Among the facilities she’s served are hospitals, child services, and mental health, pulmonary and fertility clinics. “It’s a holistic modality,” she continues. “It touches mind/ body/spirit/emotions all at once.” She points to clinical research that demonstrates the effectiveness of vibro-acoustic treatment for cardiac disease, spasms, PTSD, anxiety, ADD, autism, headaches, fibromyalgia and other pain disorders, and sleep problems. Jonas discovered her own sensitivity to sound early on. Originally from Indiana, as a teenager she played flute in a semi-professional orchestra, but found that she was often overcome with “energy rushes that I didn’t know what to do with.” Particularly beautiful phrases of music would transport her into the clouds, and her ability to play her part at the right time and place began to suffer.

In the introduction to her most recent book, “A Practitioner’s Guide to Vibro-Acoustic Therapy,” she quotes the eighteenth-century German poet Novalis: Every sickness is a musical problem. The healing, therefore, is a musical resolution. The shorter the resolution, The greater the musical talent of the doctor.

Heart-healthy, gluten-free eating (and other food dilemmas) By Cindy Taylor Many of you may remember that my husband, Brent, had open heart surgery nine years ago. He is doing fine now, but having a family member with heart disease forced me to rethink everything I knew about cooking. Brent grew up eating country cooking, and I grew up knowing how to cook country. For those of you who aren’t from the South, country cooking usually involves meat, gravy, potatoes, corn, biscuits and often a big dose of lard. These days out of necessity we have to say “Yuk!” to that. For months after Brent came home I browsed grocery aisles and recipe books looking for food he could, and would, eat. Cooking healthy and actually stopping to think about what I used to season food didn’t come naturally to me. It still doesn’t. But I have learned a few tricks. My oldest grandson was born with a

peanut allergy, and we already had to be careful about that. Then, about the time I felt comfortable that my cooking was basically healthy, four members of my son’s family developed celiac disease. Now I not only had to cook healthy food, but if my family was visiting I needed to cook without wheat products and peanuts! While that is fairly easy now, it wasn’t eight years ago before the food packaging industry clarified labeling for those who suffer with allergies. As with everything in life, the more you study and practice a craft, the better you become at it. Trial-and-error cooking reigned supreme in my life for a while. I finally realized that I didn’t have to make every single dish healthy and I didn’t have to make it all gluten-free. I did have to make it flavorful, or cooking was just a waste of time. I use fresh garlic and onions in almost every main dish and most vegetables. I have an herb garden now, and can grab

Barbecue. See next page for recipie. Photos by Cindy Taylor

what I need for fresh cooking throughout much of the year. To make seasoning cooked food even simpler, I use Rosa Leah’s Seasoning. This can be purchased from Rosa’s Catering in Halls and eliminates the need for many individual dried spices such as salt, garlic powder,

pepper, etc. Through these past nine years I have evolved quite a few recipes to make them heart healthy, reworked many to make them gluten-free and come up with some that are both. Let’s start with an easy main dish.

Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours or high 3-4 hours after meat is hot through. For faster cooking and really tender meat, pull meat apart halfway through the process.

you are feeding. Alternate tomatoes and zucchini and let each slice cover the one before about halfway. If you shredded the zucchini, sprinkle it over the sliced tomatoes. I prefer shredded since it takes less time. Sprinkle garlic, parsley and basil over all. Sprinkle with olive oil and seasonings. Sprinkle with parmesan. Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes. Everyone is touting the benefits of eating kale. But what do you do with it other than just adding it to salads? Here is a tasty recipe.

Crispy curly kale Ingredients: 1 bunch curly kale 1/2 C shredded parmesan cheese Salt, pepper and extra virgin olive oil Directions: Wash kale and pull curly pieces off of center stem. Place in 9x13 baking dish sprayed with Pam. Drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and parmesan cheese. Bake at 500 for 5-10 minutes. Watch closely to prevent burning. This will really shrink down when cooked, so donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect to feed more than 2-3 people with one bunch. Finally, the recipe we all want, Cindyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Key Lime Pie! The thing is I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like Key limes so I use regular limes. If you had the other recipes for your meal, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have

nuts and crackers if no allergies. Yeah, makes my head hurt too. 1 /2 Stick butter, melted 1 C brown sugar 1 t vanilla 1 small container (1/2 pint) heavy whipping cream 1 C powdered sugar Salt Chill a small metal bowl and beaters in freezer while you prepare the crust and filling. Directions for crust: Melt butter for 30 seconds in microwave. Add brown sugar. Add crushed

almonds and/or crackers. Add one dash of salt. Mix well and spread into bottom of large round pie plate. Bake at 400 for 5 minutes. Let cool. Directions for pie filling: Use zester to zest all three limes. Set zest aside. In large bowl beat cream cheese until fluffy. Add condensed milk slowly and beat as you go. Add lime juice and continue beating until blended. Blend in all but 1 t zest with spoon. Pour over cooled crust. Directions for

whipped cream: Pour whipping cream into chilled bowl. Beat with electric mixer and chilled beaters until stiff peaks form. You don’t have to chill the bowl and beaters, but your cream will whip faster. Add tiny dash of salt and vanilla. Beat until blended. Add powdered sugar and beat until blended and stiff peaks reform. Add more powdered sugar if needed. Spoon whipped cream over filling, sprinkle remaining lime zest over top for garnish and refrigerate for at least four hours. Can be made the day before and refrigerated overnight. Will keep for one week in refrigerator but never lasts more than one day at my house. You have just prepared a heart-healthy, gluten-free meal with a gluten-free dessert. Family and guests will love it and probably won’t even realize they are eating healthily, for the most part. Life is grand and flavorful too!

Important Kids’ Health Topic

How to stop diseases before they start

As a parent, you make decisions every day to keep your child safe and healthy, which include keeping your child up-to-date on vaccines to help protect against serious diseases. You may wonder if the diseases that vaccines prevent are even a threat to your child, how they offer protection and why your child needs to get their shots at certain ages. Learning about vaccines will help you better understand why For example, germs could the disease protection they come from people coughprovide is so important for ing or sneezing around you and your family. them or when they put toys in their mouths.

or imitate, an infection. This “imitation” infection does not cause illness, but instead, it causes the immune system to react in a way similar to how it does to a real infection. As a result, your child’s immune system will create cells to recognize and fight the vaccinepreventable disease in the future. This protection is called immunity.

exposed to life-threatening diseases. This recommended schedule is designed to protect infants and children by providing immunity when they are susceptible to diseases. The consequences of these diseases can be very serious, and even life-threatening, for infants and young children. The CDC sets the U.S. childhood immunization schedule based on recommendations from a group of medical and public health experts called the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP). This group carefully studies all safety and effectiveness data to make recommendations about vaccines. The ACIP also looks at how severe the disease is, and the number of children who get it when there is no vaccine.

Immunity stops outbreaks Immunity is important to protect your child against vaccine-preventable diseases, like whooping cough — also known as pertussis — and chickenpox, both of which still occur in the United States. If people stopped vaccinating, even the few cases of the vaccine-preventable diseases that don’t occur as commonly in the United States, like measles, could very quickly become tens or hundreds of thousands of cases. Some of these diseases are still common in other parts of the world. You may think this isn’t a problem if you don’t travel to these countries, but your child could come into contact with international travelers anywhere in your community. Kids that

Simple tips to

replenish your body T

he environment’s natural elements can take a toll on the body. However, taking time to refill what has been depleted from your body, such as moisturizing skin and hair, can make you feel healthier and more beautiful. A similar approach can also help make your teeth stronger and make your smile healthier. Though busy days may make extensive health and beauty routines feel unrealistic, there are simple ways to make them more manageable. ■ Think of the time you dedicate to taking care of yourself as an opportunity to unwind and relax, rather than a chore or another

item to check off that never-ending to-do list. ■ Look for activities that deliver in multiple ways, such as yoga, which helps tone your body while giving your mind a chance to slow down and rejuvenate. ■ Instead of trying to cram a full body wellness session into a single day, schedule activities that don’t need to be performed daily over the course of a week. Not only does that spread your “you-time” farther, it makes fitting it all in more doable. While a hectic lifestyle can affect the specifics of your health and beauty routine, the tips below are a great way for nearly everyone to get started:

Exfoliate. Scrubbing away spent skin cells and the dust and grime of daily life from your face and body allows fresh, healthy cells to grow in their place. After exfoliating, make sure to follow up with a quality moisturizer to smooth and replenish the moisture in your skin. Rejuvenate. Using a hair mask gives your hair a smooth and glossy appearance, making it feel strong. Similarly, regularly applying facial masks also gives the skin a healthy glow and smoother complexion. Protect. In between visits to the dental hygienist, you can continue to polish and strengthen your enamel at home. One

Stress less at your next shot visit

ing’ to remove stains and help smooth out enamel, which prevents bacteria from sticking,” said Kristy Menage Bernie, dental hygienist and Colgate Enamel Health Spokesperson. “By adding a toothpaste like Colgate Enamel Health to your morning routine, you can proactively care for your enamel and help maintain the work your hygienist does between visits to help get a beautiful healthy smile.” To learn more about how to help maintain the work your hygienist does in between visits, visit www. colgateenamelhealth.com. Make time for meditation. Take time out of your busy day to sit quietly and mediate. Centering the mind can help relieve stress, improving your overall mental well-being. Ultimately, setting aside gently polishes for stronger, a little time each day to healthy enamel. focus on yourself can result “By polishing our teeth, in a happier, healthier and hygienists go beyond ‘clean- more beautiful you.
