During the event, the percussion section competed in the 5A division and brought home first place honors. The band also placed first overall and the color guard came in second place by a

slim margin. The second round of judging combined class 5A and 6A bands with Halls receiving trophies for having the best music, the best overall effect and walked away as

Branch files lawsuit to overturn cell tower rejection By Sandra Clark It was not an idle threat. Branch Towers LLC and TMobile South LLC filed a complaint in U.S. District Court Oct. 29, seeking to overturn Knoxville City Council’s decision to deny construction of a 150-foot communications tower on 5.75 acres on Ridgecrest Drive in Fountain City. The suit was brought against the city and each council member. Attorneys argue that the rejection violates the federal Communications Act of 1996 and Tennessee law. “The City Council’s denial is not supported by substantial evidence contained in a written record and effectively prohibits personal wireless service in the vicinity of the proposed facility,” they wrote. “The action was illegal, arbitrary and capricious.” The court’s ruling could have national consequences. The complaint states T-Mobile is the third largest and nation’s fastest growing wireless service provider, providing services to 60

million customers in the United States. “To provide reliable service to a user, coverage from cell sites must overlap in a grid pattern resembling a honeycomb. “If Branch Towers is unable to construct a cell site within a specific geographic area, the wireless carriers it serves, specifically T-Mobile in this case, will not be able to provide service to consumers within that area.” The original application was filed with the Metropolitan Planning Commission March 30, 2015, by Branch Towers and T-Mobile. Branch Towers holds an option to lease the property from owner Diane Corey. The MPC hearing was postponed until Aug. 13 after Fountain City Town Hall and others asked for a delay. In August, MPC consultant Larry Perry effectively told MPC members they must approve the application. And in the end, they did. The vote was 8-5 to approve the tower.

Neighbors including Suzanne Matheny filed an appeal to City Council. A hearing was held Sept. 30, and the council voted 7-1 to uphold the appeal and deny the application. The applicants are asking the Court to set aside that decision and “issue an order directing the

City Council to approve the application for the proposed facility.” Branch Towers is represented by Mary D. Miller and Heather G. Anderson of the Miller Anderson Law Group in Knoxville. T-Mobile is represented by Davis Wright Tremaine LLP of Washington, D.C.

Tuition equality bill heads back to Legislature By Betty Bean Last session, the Tennessee General Assembly came within a hair’s breadth of passing a bill that would make the undocumented children of immigrant parents eligible for in-state college tuition. The Senate approved the bill 21-12, and House members voted 49-47 in favor – one vote short of the 50 required Fran Ansley for the bill to pass – which sent it back to the Calendar and Rules Committee. Two members thought to be sympathetic to the bill were absent, so it should be an easy lift

to get over that 50-vote threshold, right? Maybe not, says retired UT law professor Fran Ansley, one of the state’s most eloquent tuition equality supporters. Ansley and her allies are ready to give it another go when the Legislature reconvenes in January, but the anti-immigrant tone of much the talk generated by the Republican primary has her concerned. “Despite how close we came last year, there’s been a lot of hateful rhetoric coming out of the primary season so far and I worry about the effect it’s going to have on this issue.” As the law stands now, students who aren’t citizens have to pay outof-state tuition (about three times as much as in-state tuition) at Ten-

nessee’s colleges and universities, even if that student’s parents have lived and paid taxes in the state for years. High school guidance counselors and college administrators went to Nashville to tell legislators about the stifling effects this has on ambitious young people who find educational opportunities foreclosed to them through no fault of their own. “It’s crazy to have these young people growing up here, getting an education in Tennessee public schools and facing this insurmountable barrier. I think there is in fact broad public support for the idea that Tennessee should be educating all its young people,” Ansley said, emphasizing that the bill does not include any kind of financial aid.

Obviously, Democrats alone cannot pass bills in a legislature where Republicans hold a supermajority in both houses, and some of the state’s most conservative Republican legislators supported the tuition equality bill last year. Its Senate sponsor was Todd Gardenhire of Chattanooga, and Knoxville’s Eddie Smith cited his mother’s admonition to the right thing when he signed on as a cosponsor in the House. Ansley, who was a law professor at UT for 20 years (and ranked first in her class when she graduated in 1979), said her interest in this bill grew out of her study of the effects of plant closings in Tennessee, which led her to travel south of the To page A-3

Dr. Black makes impact in medicine, missions By Jamie Rowe William Donald Black was born in 1942 in Knoxville. His story is one of incredible influence in both the medical and mission field. His parents were William Dock Black and Dell Curry Black. The family owned Knox County Book Store and Vol Book Exchange, providing books and art supplies to students in Knox County and to the University of Tennessee. The company also supplied movies to local schools for assembly programs. All six children – 4 boys and 2 girls – worked in the book store after school and in the summers. Donnie and his older brother John had a comic book business within the book store buying comic books for three cents and selling them for five cents. He attended Smithwood School and graduated from Central High in 1960, where he was on the football team and active in Hi-Y, a service club. As a senior, he was

awarded the math cup. After attending the University of Tennessee for two years and wanting the influence of a Christian school, he transferred to Bryan College for his junior year. His senior year was spent at UT completing a major in physics before beginning medical school at UT Med Units in Memphis in 1964. Just before graduation from medical school, he married Barbara Overton. In 1968, he and Barbara moved to Virginia where he interned at Roanoke Memorial Hospital. The following spring, Dr. Black went to Vietnam with a tank battalion. He was on active duty 2 two years, working six months in a field hospital. He received two bronze stars for his service. Of his days in Vietnam, Dr. Black remarked, “It was my first exposure to a third world country. At times, we went into villages and gave the children apples, candy and medicine – to try and spread goodwill.”

Bonnie Peters

Bonnie was serious about recording and promoting local history. She wrote about the places she personally experienced and knew about. Bonnie was born Jan. 20, 1920, the daughter

of Charlie and Lou Masingo of Speedwell. In 1985, she published a book called “Speedwell.” Bonnie taught school at Pruden, her first teaching job, where she met her future husband, Donald Page; and guess what. In 1983, she published the book “Pruden.” Donald and Bonnie married about a week after Pearl Harbor. Sadly, Donald died of cancer in 1980. Bonnie began teaching about 1946 at Lake City Elementary School and taught for over 30 years. In her retirement years she published a number of hardand soft-back histories and

about the finish the book, the Olympic Torch passed through the town of Speedwell and reminded her of how we pass our history and our stories from one generation to the next to keep the history alive. In “Speedwell” she wrote, “As the Olympic Torch passed through Speedwell on May 29, 1984, we are passing through this life and at the end of a certain point as with the torch we must pass it on to someone younger and stronger who will keep it moving into the future and into other parts of the country and the world.” Bonnie recalled that her parents taught her fair play, perseverance, inge-

nuity, loving kindness, hard work, obedience and appreciation. Bonnie has passed the torch, carrying these great qualities on to her family as evidenced by their love and care of her and her descendants. I feel I can speak for all the authors who shared the authors tent and all who knew Bonnie Masingo Page that we extend our deepest sympathy to the Page family and want you to know we are thinking of you during this time of loss. Bonnie’s books, “Pruden,” “Speedwell” and “Lincoln Memorial University,” as well as some soft cover editions are available at the Union County Museum and Library.

Dr. W.D. Black Dr. Black spent the last 10 months of military service at Walter Reed Army Medical Center where he received an Army Commendation Medal for Meritorious service. On returning home, he moved his family, which would soon include two sons, Jason and Ryan, to Memphis, with four years training in internal medicine and nephrology, a branch of internal medicine centered on kidney disease. After practicing in Roanoke and Alabama, he returned to Knoxville in 1978

to found Renal Medical Associates. His group started several dialysis units in and around Knoxville. He retired in 2010 after 32 years. In 1993, Dr. Black accompanied his son on a mission trip to Guatemala. On additional mission trips, Dr. Black organized clinics, children’s outreaches and evangelistic projects. Once, the national interpreter asked Dr. Black for his stethoscope, which he freely gave to her. This led to the organization of a conference in 1996 to teach health care workers in local villages.

Bonnie Masingo Page passes the torch For 24 years I sat by Bonnie Masingo Page at the authors tables at Museum of Appalachia Fall Homecoming. This year she was not able to come.

Beginning in 1997, Dr. Black expanded his mission trips to Russia, Lithuania, Ukraine, Belgium, Romania, Nicaragua, Honduras, Cuba, India, Sierra Leone and Kenya, and for the last six years he has served in China. Despite what was accomplished, even seeing 100 patients a day, he has always returned feeling there was unfinished business. He has lectured locally, regionally, nationally and internationally on various topics related to nephrology and was instrumental in establishing the pediatric

hemodialysis unit in Bucharest, Romania. He has taught medicine at several universities and published numerous articles in medical journals. In 1998 came the devastating news that his wife had breast cancer. Dr. Black worked an abbreviated schedule in order to be her caregiver until her death in 2002. That experience became the foundation for his book, “Finding Strength in Weakness: A Study of Tribulation and Our Appropriate Response,” published in 2001. This book, translated into Spanish and Russian, was described by a colleague as “a thoroughly researched treatise on suffering with personal vignettes to bring it to life.” Dr. Black believes being a caregiver for five years made him a better doctor. He has been married for the past thirteen years to Kay Ritter Hyde who was a registered nurse at St. Mary’s, and they enjoy a blended family with three children and three grandchildren. Dr. Black has lived his life by the credo, “to do the best I could, and trust the Lord for the results.”

Bonnie Masingo Page worked diligently to keep the history of this region alive. To my knowledge, her last work was a history of Lincoln Memorial University, co-authored with Cindy

Stephenson. The book was done to preserve the history of her alma mater, having graduated there in three years. On Oct. 21, 2015, Bonnie died at age 95 and having spent only five days at a local nursing facility. She is survived by her two sons, Kenton and Steve Page, and their families. Kenton Page is the owner of Fountain City Pharmacy. “She planted a garden even this year,” said Kenton Page. “She didn’t leave anything in the field.” It is interesting that in her book on Speedwell, Bonnie talked about “passing the torch.” As she was

Good things keep going at Fashiondrama By Sherri Gardner Howell If it ain’t broke … For 62 years, the Knoxville Academy of Medicine Alliance has hosted a lunchtime gala that is worth a vacation day or schedule rearranging for more than 200 Knoxville men and women. Fashiondrama 2015: Destination Fashion was no exception as KAMA put models on the runway and dreams of cool weather into the heads of their guests. The soldout ballroom and adjacent rooms at Cherokee Country Club were travel-ready as the theme played out in the decorations and clothes. Fashiondrama is a fundraiser for KAMA. Money raised goes to local healthcare initiatives, including nursing scholarships and health grants. Co-chairs for 2015 were

She argues that slamming the door on educational opportunities for ambitious students because of where they were born is having a detrimental effect on American democracy. “This migration wasn’t the result of individual decisions by migrants to come here and break our law, but were decisions made on very high levels, to cut these trade agreements, causing out-migrations from those places to begin to spill out over here,” she said.

Jenny Bushkell and Michele Carringer surrounded their former Central High teacher Caroline Cowan.

“What happens to our own economy and our own labor standards if we allow the fact that our immigration system has gotten broken to create a new underclass of people among us? What happens to our democracy if we allow a broken system to produce a group of 11 million people who are not allowed to vote or benefit from the sales taxes and income taxes they pay? It’s very dangerous.” If the bill passes, Tennessee will join 25 other states with tuition equality bills in place. It has been amended to cover

It is supported by Republicans who believe it will grow the tax base, increase tuition paid to the state, supply skilled labor to business and align with the governor’s “Drive to 55” initiative, which aspires to see 55 percent of Tennesseans equipped with college degrees or certificates by 2025.

Vols approaching safety net You may relax and take two deep breaths. Set aside tranquilizers and PeptoBismol. Tennessee football is now near the safety net â&#x20AC;&#x201C; well, the relative safety of November. This is the time of year when coaches preserve jobs. Some even get raises and contract extensions in the name of progress â&#x20AC;&#x201C; because teams look much better against inferior competition. Oh no, this is no guarantee of four consecutive victories and a holiday bowl outing for the Volunteers but South Carolina, North Texas, Missouri and Vanderbilt do sound more favorable than Oklahoma, Florida and Alabama.

member. John Majorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; teams sometimes ran out of fuel in his first eight seasons (11 late losses) but the Sugar Vols of 1985 got it all straightened out. They went 5-0 down the stretch, on their way to a Southeastern Conference championship and a historic trip to New Orleans. They walloped Rutgers, 40-0, defeated Memphis State by 10, Ole Miss by 20, Kentucky by 42 and Vanderbilt by 30. Once they found the for-

mula, Majorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; teams won 22 consecutive November games, lost to Notre Dame and won 11 more before the end. Phillip Fulmer teams went 42-4 in his first 12 Novembers. Losses were to Memphis State, Arkansas, Miami and Notre Dame. Alumni leaders should have known better than to pick Miami for homecoming. North Texas is a much better idea. Fans do remember what the Vols do in November. Fifteen times Tennessee went undefeated from 1985 through 2004. Fulmer teams were 10-6 in his last four Novembers. Lane Kiffin was 3-1. Derek Dooley was 7-4. Butch Jones is 4-4. Tennessee numbers have been skewed through the

years by near-total domination of Kentucky and Vanderbilt. Not so much lately. Tennessee has been down near their level. I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t noticed any change in pulse rate but incoming South Carolina figures to be a somewhat different story on Saturday. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to get by without anguished expressions, visors sailing through hot air and futile sideline searches for somebody to blame, inept assistants or thoughtless Gamecocks. It was sad to see Steve Spurrier give up the swim in midstream â&#x20AC;&#x201C; just plain quit. He coached players to persevere but when things got tough, he took down the flag and surrendered. Getting his full $4 million stopped the bleeding and soothed

most of the pain. He undoubtedly has another parttime job at ESPN or the SEC Network. I blame Butch Jones in part for Spurrierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision. What Joshua Dobbs and the Tennessee defense did to South Carolina this time last season took a lot of fun out of coaching. Professional critics didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help. One asked Spurrier a loaded question: If you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t beat the Vols, who can you beat? South Carolina, even without the old Ball Coach, one of the best ever in college football, does not project as a pushover. This is another must-win game for the Volunteers. All are. There are no shortcuts to saving this season. Marvin West invites reader reaction. His address is westwest6@netzero.com

Siler shakes up District 2 commission race

Republicans have held a commanding majority on Knox County Commission for decades and have expanded their hold in recent years, whittling the number of Democrats to two in recent elections. In 2016, bolstered by the statewide “Red to the Roots” campaign, the GOP appears poised to finish the job and sweep Democrats out of county office entirely. Democrats Sam McKenzie (District 1) and Amy Broyles (District 2) are not seeking re-election. District 2 Republican candidates Michele Carringer and John Fugate have held appointed offices in recent years and are well known in the community. Both have been running hard for months. Announced Democratic candidate Laura Kildare, a newcomer to politics, hasn’t been visible. Several high profile Democrats urged Cheri Siler to run. Siler left a favorable impression while losing a state 2014 state Senate race no-

Betty Bean body expected her to win, but she wasn’t ready to try it again. She had gained weight and was plagued by migraines during the campaign. She started changing that by participating in an online challenge group with the aim of getting in better shape. “My motivation was to feel better, so I changed the way I eat and added exercise to my daily routine. I’m down about 20 pounds and have more energy than I’ve ever had in my life. I haven’t had five migraines this year. Losing weight was a bonus. My motivation was to feel better.” Last Thursday, after lots of conversation with her husband, Stanley, the Central High School math teacher and mother of six climbed down off the fence and picked up a petition to

become a candidate. What made her change her mind? “It’s been mulling around in my brain for a while, and I decided I wanted to stay involved. (Incumbent Amy Broyles) isn’t running again, and I feel like we need good strong female leadership in our county, so here I am,” Siler said. The daughter of Larry and Donna Edwards, owners of the Edwards Restaurant in Halls and West Knoxville, she helped in the restaurants as a teenager and entered the University of Tennessee at age 16 under an early admissions program for gifted students. She majored in business administration and graduated in 1991, returning years later to study for a master’s degree in mathematics education. She eventually took a temporary job at Central High School, working under principal Jon Miller, who offered her a permanent position at the end of the year.

New eyes see things differently

When there’s just no good answer Certainty is the gold standard of politicians. Think Donald Trump. Uncertainty is disconcerting. Think Jeb Bush, who said Sunday he goes back and forth on the death penalty. Susan Dakak, a civil engineer, U.S. citizen and native of Iraq, spoke recently to the North Knox Rotary. Dakak presented a realtime dilemma that defies a good answer. Take a look. First, she showed a PowerPoint of her family pictures. They looked like most American families of that time – kids stiffly dressed for church, parents dancing and enjoying life.

Life in Iraq in the 1970s was much like that in the U.S. “More women than men were doctors and engineers,” she said. Dakak attended Catholic schools, excelled in math, and came to the U.S. to study engineering at Tennessee Tech. She left before Saddam came to power. In 2003, he fell to U.S.-led forces.

In 2004, Dakak volunteered to assist her native country with its reconstruction efforts. She spent six months in Iraq investigating the country’s wastewater collection system and helping standardize rehabilitation methods. “Things had changed,” she said. “Little by little, people came to feel they had no room to be free. “The new generation of Islam was completely different than the (Muslims) I knew growing up.” Christians, in particular, are persecuted by the religious extremists in Iraq. And here is the dilemma. The Iraqi Christians are

at UT. She lives on Cherokee Blvd. in Sequoyah Hills and has been at UT for 20 years. She says she disagrees with UT changing the Lady Vols name. There is vigorous campaign going on between three contestants for the GOP nomination to oppose Davis. Running are incumbent Jeff Ownby, Hugh Nystrom and Janet Testerman (daughter of former Knoxville First Lady Janet Testerman). GOP primary is March 1, along with the presidential primary. Davis will be a credible Democratic candidate in the August general election. ■ In the discussion over immigrants and refugees it is important to remember there is a huge difference. An immigrant (legal and illegal) often chooses to settle in a country for economic reasons to make a better life for him or herself. The USA currently has about 11 million “undocumented” immigrants. A refugee is fleeing persecution based on political or ethnic affiliation. The U.S. limits the number of refugees to 70,000 annually with the largest numbers currently from Myanmar, Bhutan and Iraq. However, you may be surprised to learn that 10 countries actually shelter well over half of the world’s refugees. In order of numbers they are: Turkey, Pakistan, Lebanon, Iran, Ethiopia, Jordan, Kenya, Chad, Uganda and China. Turkey, Pakistan and Lebanon shelter 30 percent of this refugee total. Turkey has 1.2 million with mostly Syrians. Lebanon’s has 232 refugees per 1,000 citizens which makes it the highest ratio in the world. Lebanon is not considered a stable nation while Turkey is.

“What do we do with these people,” she asked. “How do we help them? I don’t know the answer. ... I’m not a Muslim-basher, but our security and future depend on letting the right ones in (and keeping the wrong ones out.) “It makes me question what’s right or wrong.”

Charlie Harris

Elmcroft of Halls hosted a smashing family night and open house last week, introducing some 11 vendors who all brought food. Folks moved from table to table for fried chicken, veggies, fruit, desserts and, of course, information. Nobody left hungry. Over the next few weeks, we will profile various health service providers in this space; after all, we do work for food. But for now, let’s look at the funniest episode of the evening. Charlie Harris, Elmcroft’s regional director for 11 centers in Tennessee, said he hired Chris Tharp as director of the Halls facility because he had worked with him in Oak Ridge and knew of his dedication. “He had no bow tie and short hair,” Harris joked. “We hit it off right away.

Conway Twitty

… It’s a blessing for Halls to have Chris here.” Tharp then praised Harris. “He was born the day I got married. He’s the smartest young guy I know.” Tharp said during his job interview the men didn’t discuss finances, they talked culture. But there was this one odd thing … “Why does Charlie have that huge picture of Conway Twitty on his wall?” Chris asked a staff member. “Is there something I should know?” She laughed. “Conway is his grandfather.” Sure enough, Charlie Harris’ mother is the daughter of Conway Twitty. The well-known country music star, born Harold Lloyd Jenkins, recorded with Loretta Lynn and performed on “Hee Haw.” He died June 5, 1993, at age 59 and is buried in Gallatin, Tenn.

It happened so fast that later I had trouble remembering the exact sequence of events. Lewis and I were traveling on the interstate in our motor home, which is about the size of a Mack truck, that is to say, impossible to stop on a dime. To add to the peril, it was raining. Suddenly, in our lane, there was a car stopped, clearly the result of a wreck that had happened within the past two minutes. Two other cars were involved, and a tractor trailer was just ahead, apparently unscathed and moving on. Thanks to Lewis’ good reflexes and quick thinking, we were able to avoid becoming part of the wreckage. Later, he asked me what I was thinking at that moment. When my pounding heart slowed down and I could breathe again, I told him, “I wasn’t thinking! I

was praying!” No kidding! We never know when the “rock and treacherous shoal” will be right in front of us. We can be assured of two things: there will be danger on occasion, and always, no matter the outcome, God is with us. Lewis and I were fortunate: to be unhurt, and to have avoided hurting anyone else. I have to admit, as well, that we were grateful that our motor home was intact. Such an experience focuses the mind. It also reminds me that there are many across this world who live in constant danger. Let’s pray for them, too.

That was the consensus of the more than 1,000 people who attended the 11th annual Salem Baptist Church fall festival Oct. 25. The church lot was full and it was park on the hillside for latecomers. Folks were offered a hayride through the parking

Mighty marching bands Imagine having stands filled with people who are in attendance to watch the band. Yes, the band. That is what the Knox County Schools band exhibition is all about. It gives band members from area high schools a chance to see the halftime shows of their rivals and, many times, of schools they don’t see during the football season.

This year Halls High hosted the event and the stands were packed for the entire event as fans gathered to watch and cheer on their favorite school. There were no awards presented during the exhibition, but I would guess if attendees were able to vote on a fan favorite, AustinEast Magnet High School would have taken home that trophy.

By Sandra Clark CARE 365 will present the fourth annual “CAREacter” Star Community Service Football Game at Grace Christian Academy, 5914 Beaver Ridge Road, featuring eight East Tennessee high school football teams. Information is available from organizers Dave Moore, 865-455-0338; Gregg Bostick, 865-4068019; or at care365.org Proceeds from these games will benefit the families of Ethan Parsley and

Owen Webb. Admission is $8 per game, available at the gate. On Thursday, Nov. 5, the Powell Panthers will play the Lenoir City Panthers at 7 p.m. On Saturday, Nov. 7, David Crockett Pioneers vs. McMinn County Cherokees, 11 a.m.; West Greene Buffaloes vs. Tellico Plains Bears, 2:30 p.m.; and Loudon Redskins vs. Sequoyah Chief, 7 p.m. Ethan Parsley, of the Karns community, is a foot-

ball-loving 11 year old with a huge heart. Ethan was diagnosed with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis at 3 years old. On Dec. 1, 2014, he was diagnosed with metastatic Ewing’s Sarcoma, just one week after his 11th birthday. He has been bravely fighting it ever since. Ethan has had 11 rounds of chemotherapy, 27 radiation treatments and far too many surgeries to count. Ethan knows that God’s plan is perfect and that He is the ultimate physician. We ask for your prayers as he continues his fight. Owen Webb was born March 30, 2015, with Krabbe disease, an aggressive

genetic degenerative neurological disease that destroys the nerve cells in the brain and nervous system. He has been receiving chemotherapy and stem cell treatments at Duke University Hospital since he was born. He will hopefully arrive home in Powell the week of Nov. 2. Owen’s older sister, Mabry Kate, died from this disease on Feb. 7, 2015, at the age of 11 months. Previous beneficiaries of the Community Service Football Games are: Will McKamey and Anna Hamilton – 2012 Seth Haynes – 2013 Mikey Carter and Dominique McKeethan – 2014

“First, I think it is important to use the platform of football to reach out beyond yourself and do special things for people, and use the game for those purposes. Last year, Coach Moore approached us with an opportunity to play an 11th game. As Coach Moore explained the scenario and how the game was designed I didn’t have to think about a decision, we were IN! “Second, CAREacter Star Community Service Game is the combination of the best scenarios I can think of. We get to help those that need our help, we get the opportunity to play and coach a game we love. On a coach-

“This 11th game is a great opportunity to help people in need and gives our student athletes a chance to give back. It is a wonderful experience and a blessing our players and coaches enjoy!” – Joe Case, head coach, West Greene “Coach Moore does a tremendous job highlighting local student athletes through the CAREacter Star Athlete of the Week program, but it’s actually amazing to see his commitment to helping those in the community who are less fortunate or who are struggling with trials of various types.” – Randy McKamey, head coach, Grace Christian Academy

wraps viewers in its reality By Betsy Pickle The best movies make you feel as though you’re part of their world. “Room” does that. You’re pulled in immediately and wrapped in the same sense of confinement as the characters.

And through the visceral performances, you also begin to feel smothered by the same emotions – fear, frustration, confusion, anger, hopelessness – but also uplifted by love, joy, contentment and, ulti-

‘Spectre’ James Bond (Daniel Craig) is one cool customer in “Spectre,” opening Friday. In 007’s latest outing, he has to uncover the truth about a sinister organization as his boss, M (Ralph Fiennes), fights to keep the British secret service from falling victim to politics. Christoph Waltz, Naomie Harris, Lea Seydoux, Monica Bellucci, Dave Bautista and Ben Whishaw also star for director Sam Mendes.

By Carol Shane The Arts and Culture Alliance of Greater Knoxville routinely outdoes itself with exhibitions of highest-quality art from our region and beyond, as well as seminars and support for local artists of all types. One of the organization’s most popular events is set for this weekend as the ACA partners with the East Tennessee Woodworkers Guild to present the 18th Master Woodworkers Show at the Emporium Center. “We’ve got a great show for 2015,” says show director Scott DeWaard. “It only happens every other year, and it goes so fast.” The juried show will feature the works of 30 fine woodworkers from East Tennessee and the surrounding region. Many types of woodwork, including marquetry, sculpture, turning and cabinetry, will be on display. Some pieces are traditional; some are whimsical. The artists will be in attendance, so it’s an ideal environment to view the work and meet the peo-

ple who make it. Participating artists include Ronald Young of Chattanooga; Stephen Moles of Church Hill; Matt Campbell of Dayton; Richard Dwyer and Jeffrey Neil of Gray; Curtis Buchanan of Jonesboroug; Stephen Shankles of Maryville; and Harold Galbraith, Brian Horais, Al Hudson, Dan Land, Lou Mansur and Gordon Rome of Knoxville. North Carolina woodworkers Gary Rawlins of Mars Hill and Kirk Shufelt of Cullowhee, who runs the website “Peace, Love and Dovetails,” will also showcase their furniture and cabinetry. DeWaard is from Blount County. On his website, he says that he has “cloistered himself in his modest shop for the last 30 years picking up the phone saying ‘Ya, I can do that.’ ” He’s also on the faculty of Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts. “If you love fine handmade furniture and want to know more about what sets it apart,” he says, “this is the show for you.”

mately, hope. “Room,” based on the novel by Emma Donoghue and adapted for the screen by the author, is like living at the heart of an onion. Layers gradually fall away, providing information bit by bit. Some of them aren’t hard to predict, but it’s still difficult to provide a storyline without unveiling a few of the mysteries. Jack (Jacob Tremblay), about to turn 5, lives in a squalidly magical place called Room with his Ma (Brie Larson of “Short Term 12”). They do practically everything together because they never leave Room. Ma has created a fantasy for Jack that has him believing there is nothing except for Room. They have an ancient, barely watchable TV, but Ma explains that the people on it aren’t real. They can see outside through a skylight in the ceiling, but Ma has explanations for what’s visible through it as well. Room is reality. Everything else is made up. They play games, read books, exercise, bathe, eat and sleep within Room.

Jack (Jacob Tremblay) and Ma (Brie Larson) make decorations within the confines of “Room,” opening Nov. 20 at Downtown West. Sometimes a gruff man called Old Nick (Sean Bridgers) comes to bring supplies and spend time with Ma, but she always hides Jack in Wardrobe so that Nick won’t see or interact with him. Jack is getting bigger, and he’s a smart kid. Ma worries about him. She worries about herself. She has reason to. And she begins to sketch out a plan that could turn Jack’s world upside down. “Room” is pretty much perfect. It takes an event that has become uncomfortably familiar in the real

world and imagines what happens beyond the newsprint or sound bites. It gives humanity to a framework of exploitation. It offers hope for healing. The acting is phenomenal. Larson is heartbreaking as the young woman robbed of so much and yet so giving to her son. She makes all of Ma’s actions and reactions believable. Young Tremblay is astounding both as the unquestioning inhabitant of Room and as a Valentine Michael Smith type. There is something otherworldly

in his perceptive gaze, but he makes Jack’s journey raw and powerful. Performances by Joan Allen and William H. Macy round out an incredible depiction of a family derailed by a horrific event. Between Donoghue’s insightful script and director Lenny Abrahamson’s lean direction, “Room” comes to life without melodrama. And like other great films, it lingers, holding you close as you continue to think about its characters and their lives. Rated R for language.

Fall is really here. We’ve had three morning frosts. The leaves have peaked in color in the mountains, and are showing up nicely, species by species, here on the ridges and in the valleys. The air is fresh and crisp, and those wonderful fall smells are in the air – wood smoke, dry crunchy leaves underfoot, spicy goodies in the oven. The weather is great, and all those smells are great. Well, ummm, not all of them. Last month’s electric bill from KUB included a flyer with a little kid holding his nose and asking the question “does your nose know the smell of natural gas?” And of course it’s important for everybody to know

polecat, our urr culprit iss more propp-erly known w wn as the striped ped skunk. Skunks are on the list of creatures that we could stand a few less of, around our yards and under our houses, along with raccoons, ’possums and mosquitoes. We don’t see them all that often in proportion to how often we smell them, mainly because they’re mostly out and about at night. This time of the year, they seem prone to getting into territorial disputes over who gets to dig up your yard, squalling and growling like cats, and often ending the fray by firing a shot of malodorous spray into

that smell, just in case there is ever a leak. But does your nose know the origin of that other sulphurous nighttime vapor, wafting in your bedroom window at 3 a.m.? That window that you left open to finally get to enjoy the cool nighttime air. Clue: it’s coming not from the big yellow KUB pipes, but from something black and furry, with white stripes and a bad attitude. Known to my Granny as the henhouseraiding, chicken-stealing

the otherwise delightful night air. lig Not that skunks are all bad. If captured and descented e at a very young age, ag they are said to make a nice house ma pet,, sort so of like a cat. Up north, skunks are trapped sk and their pelts used to adorn coats and jackets. One would presume that such an activity would involve a good deal of know-how to make it a tolerable source of employment. Besides in your henhouse, skunks do create some problems in your yard. They will eat almost anything, including your pet’s food left outside, and the seeds on the ground under your bird feeder. They help to rid your lawn of various grubs and insect larvae, the only problem there being all those tell-tale little digging holes all across your carefully-tended turf.

workers found greatly annoying. He set about developing an effective antidote for said product, and since the product had chemicals in it similar to those in skunk spray, he figured out that his antidote would immediately neutralize skunk odor as well. The recipe is free to the public, and described on any number of websites, along with detailed instructions and some precautions. You should check one out before using the recipe. It may be one of your most important holiday season recipes. Briefly, here it is: 1 Qt. fresh 3% hydrogen peroxide ¼ cup baking soda 2 teaspoons liquid soap Soak dog thoroughly for 5 minutes, then bathe dog as usual. Smell should be gone. With all of that defense, is there nothing that will help us with the abundant skunk population other than nighttime automobile traffic? As a matter of fact, there is, and it comes from an unexpected direction – the sky. One of the professors at the UT Vet School, in charge of looking after big injured birds of prey, told us at Bird Club that any time someone brings him an injured bird in a big box, and it smells like skunk, he knows what’s in there – a great horned owl. Great horned owls apparently have a poor sense of smell, or a seriously big appetite, as they are known to regularly take skunks. This would be a natural and very handy meal for them, since both owl and skunk are out and about at the same time of the night. So, yummy! for the owls, and may they enjoy many more such snacks. Just not in my yard.

(In my yard, this doesn’t matter.) The most serious social problem the skunk has, though, is its odor situation. Skunks have evolved a highly effective defense mechanism that makes them close to predator-proof: the ability to shoot a spray of oily, sickeningly odorous liquid at any apparent threat, man or beast. And so, they waddle across lawns and parks with an obvious attitude of being absolutely untouchable. They’re pretty much right. The combination of chemicals in skunk spray makes an immediate and lasting impression on most would-be attackers, usually breaks off any current encounter and generally prevents any future thoughts of a second attempt by the same would-be predator. Coyotes, wolves, even mountain lions are known to avoid skunks. Only certain goofy, clueless breeds of dogs (we’ll not mention names – you know who they are) will not only attack a skunk, they’ll sometimes even come back again for another try. So, what to do when old Shep indiscreetly gets a full dose of skunk spray? A soaking in tomato juice is the remedy you hear of the most. It’s a big, smelly job that uses a lot of juice, and besides that, it doesn’t work. Science to the rescue – a chemist in Illinois named Paul Krebaum has come up with a science-based, effective and inexpensive way to salvage Poochie from being banned to the far back yard forever. It seems that Mr. Krebaum developed, in the course of his work, an odorous product that his fellow

Volunteer Rotarians raise $12,500 for service dog By Tom King It began in March 2015 with a program at a Friday meeting of the Knoxville Volunteer Rotary Club. The speaker was Mike KitchTom King ens, volunteer chair of the Smoky Mountain Service Dogs Inc. The organization trains and provides service dogs for veterans with physical and/or psychological disabilities. These dogs – usually Golden Retrievers or Labrador Retrievers – are custom-trained mobility assistance service dogs. His program led to the Volunteer club creating a fund-raising program by soliciting donations and pledges for its 21 members to lose weight. They have lost more than 100 pounds since July and raised $12,500 to fund a veteran placement sponsorship. Earl Kear, the club’s immediate past president, came up with the idea for the sponsorship. Kitchens will be at the club’s Nov. 20 meeting updating them on the dog’s training. He also said they will have a “Pass the Leash” ceremony with the Volunteer Club in early 2016 when

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

Beloved local broadcaster continues journey of cancer fight Dave Foulk retired from broadcast radio after 45 years, but returned one day in August 2015 to Newstalk 98.7. Foulk was carrying the same smooth, deep voice he had had for years while delivering news and traf c and chatting with Hallerin Hilton Hill on his morning show. “It’s the only one God gave me,” Foulk said of his voice. Now almost 64 and having battled stage four colon cancer, Foulk joked that while his voice is intact, his abdomen is a different story. “My belly looks like a map of Jamaica! I had to decline several centerfold offers. They just can’t PhotoShop out the scars,” he said with a laugh. “But I’m here, and I’m still standing.” Foulk was rst diagnosed with cancer in 2012, and had a recurrence in 2014. Both times he was treated at Thompson Cancer Dave Foulk, known by many around East Tennessee for his booming radio voice and Survival Center. “In 2012, I was feeling really bad … decades of news coverage, is grateful for the draggy, didn’t feel like doing anything. My treatment he received at Fort Sanders Redoctor took a blood count and said, ‘You’re gional and Thompson Cancer Survival Center losing blood somewhere.’ His second state- when his colon cancer reoccurred in 2014. ment was, ‘You’re due for your screening for your colonoscopy, so we’ll start there.’ I was ascending colon, and he had surgery to remove it soon afterward. In the next year, he 60 and I was due.” The colonoscopy found a mass in Foulk’s had routine blood tests to check for tumor

markers in his blood. “At rst it was normal, but in 2014, it was too high,” said Foulk. “So that meant something’s up. I had a PET (positron emission tomography) scan, and they found a mass in my liver.” It was decided by Foulk and his doctors at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center and Thompson Cancer Survival Center to shrink the tumor with chemotherapy rst, and then remove it with surgery. So Foulk began chemotherapy for three months in the fall of 2014, and it was not an easy process. “When it came to side effects, I was an over-achiever. I had every side effect you could have, including blood clots, anemia, you name it,” he said. “Last year was quite an ordeal, up until February or March of 2015, when I started to turn the corner. I started feeling better, recovering from the side effects of the chemotherapy and surgery.” By summer he was feeling well enough to help his wife, Denna, through knee surgery, and other chores around the house. “I do get to get out and piddle around in the yard, and that’s been really good. I’ve come back tremendously. You still get tottery and tired, but you just allow for it.” Foulk said today he is an advocate for

routine colonoscopy screening. He had a normal routine screening for colon cancer at the recommended age of 50. “I’ve used any public recognition that I have to try to get folks to have regular colon cancer screenings,” said Foulk. “And also, I urge family members to be there for that cancer patient. My children and my wife were there to support me. It was a team battle, and that meant so much. I was grateful to God I had that support behind me.” Foulk said he would recommend Thompson Cancer Survival Center to anyone dealing with cancer. “When you’re hit with a diagnosis like that, you have a thousand questions,” he said. “The support from everybody here has been phenomenal. There’s a great attitude in this building. This is not a dreary place. The people are upbeat and energetic about treating you. “The doctors are aggressive at it,” said Foulk. “They don’t just sit back and be whipped, they go after the disease. I knew Thompson was good because my father was a patient here, but now I’ve seen it from the patient’s eyes. I can’t imagine having any better care.

Options when colorectal cancer strikes Here’s a quick guide to some common procedures performed on colorectal cancer patients. The patient’s individual case will determine which procedure is used. A polypectomy removes growths on the inner lining of the colon during a colonoscopy. Local excision removes cancer from the wall of the rectum, while resection involves removing part or all of the colon. Various surgeries can be performed to remove the cancer and portions of the internal organs where it is found. The most extensive is a total proctocolectomy, which removes both the colon and the rectum, and sometimes the anus. Stomas and ostomies create an open-

ing from the bowel or colon to the surface of the skin when the stool can’t make its normal route after surgery. Similarly, fecal diversion creates an opening between the skin’s surface and the small intestine or colon. After stomas, ostomies, and fecal diversion, the stool is redirected through the opening in the skin and collected in a bag. Radiation and chemotherapy may also be used before or after surgery. Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center and Thompson Cancer Survival Center work together to give patients the best chance at beating cancer of all kinds.

all days of the week ■ Limiting alcohol – no more than two drinks for men and one for women in a day ■ Eating a healthy diet – more fruits, vegetables, and sh, but less red and processed meats With this index in hand, researchers rated the lifestyles of more than 347,000 adults. For each healthy behavior met, study participants received a point. The scale ranged from one (the least healthy lifestyle) to ve (the most healthy). Researchers then followed the people until they developed cancer, died, or dropped out of the study. In half of the cases, that period was 12 or more years. What did they nd? Each healthy behavior that a person followed lowered his or her chance for colorectal cancer by 12 percent. Combining all ve could amount to a 60 percent drop in risk for the disease. Thompson Cancer Survival Center offers a variety of prevention and screening resources. For more information or a physician referral, call (865) 374-TCSC (8272), and visit thompsoncancer.com.

A screening colonoscopy is recommended for anyone who is older than 50, but is especially important for those who are considered to have a higher risk of developing colon cancer. If you have a personal history of colorectal cancer or polyps, or chronic in ammatory diseases like ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease, you’re more at risk. You’re also more at risk if a member of your family has dealt with colon cancer. Diabetics are more at risk, and AfricanAmericans have a greater risk of colon cancer than any other race. If you’ve ever had radiation therapy directed at your abdomen to treat a previous cancer, you may also have an increased risk. Additionally, in the journal BMC Medicine, researchers set out to test if a certain lifestyle pattern might lower a person’s risk for colorectal cancer. To do so, they rst created a healthy lifestyle index. This index took into account ve behaviors: ■ Staying at a healthy weight ■ Not smoking ■ Getting regular physical activity – at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise most or
