Engineers with CDM Smith share this design for improvements to the Broadway and I-640 interchange. The yellow line shows proposed new construction including divided ramps leading to West I-640 from southbound traffic on Broadway and Tazewell Pike. The loop at Greenway Drive shows a flyover for northbound traffic to enter I-640 westbound without a left turn off Broadway. I-640 runs from right to left above; Broadway runs from top to bottom.

Funding not set, plans still debated for Broadway at 640 By Sandra Clark The same disputes are present and the money continues to be absent, but engineers from CDM Smith and the state Department of Transportation are soldiering on with plans to reconstruct the interchange of Broadway and I-640. The road show traveled to Fountain City Town Hall last week, playing to a packed house at the Church of the Good Shepherd. Most were there to pick up Ali Sharp awards for academics and good behavior at Fountain City Elementary School. Daniel K. Oliver, director of project development for TDOT, likened the project to rewiring a house. And while TDOT has ap-

proved plans for right-of-way acquisition, Oliver said, “This is not the final set of plans” for the project. R. Larry Smith, former county commissioner who owns the 640 Building, is unhappy that the plans call for relocating the traffic signal at the five-way intersection on Old Broadway. “Traffic is backed up from Louis’ Restaurant from 4:30 to 6 p.m. every day.” Without the traffic signal, he said, those using his building won’t be able to make a left turn toward Knoxville. The plan calls for moving the signal north. Smith said 350 cars a day use the 640 Building. The project has been approved but not funded.

New sidewalk for Old Broadway

Design work for a city-funded sidewalk that will extend from the south side of the intersection of Old Broadway and Broadway to the Old Broadway/Tazewell Pike split could begin in the early months of 2015, says Jim Hagerman, city director of engineering. TDOT has offered to do some of the work in conjunction with the modification of the interchange at I-640 and Broadway. Improvements will include a crosswalk and signals at the intersection. Design work for the project is included in the city’s 2014 budget and construction will be part

of the 2015 budget, depending on availability of funds. The project doesn’t require much right-of-way purchase, but arrangements will have to be made with businesses that have parking lots along the proposed site, Hagerman says. A railroad bridge over Old Broadway could also present challenges. Arches were built into the bridge with sidewalks in mind, but the project will require cooperation from the railroad. The city has several sidewalk projects underway, but they take a lot of time, Hagerman says. “It seems like it would be simple, but they all have complications.” – Wendy Smith

Tony Norman takes PT stormwater post By Betty Bean James McMillan has been a high-profile, persistent critic of the way local government handles stormwater runoff issues, both city and county. Rarely has he doled out compliments. Last week, the Shannondale farmer broke form when he heard that Knox County has hired Tony Norman to a $28,000 per year part-time position as an NPDES (National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System) coordinator. “Tony will add a needed degree of honesty and integrity to Knox County’s engineering department, something they have had a very limited supply of, till now,” said McMillan. Norman started work Nov. 3, two months after completing two terms on County Commission, where he championed teachers who have been protesting Superintendent James McIntyre’s reform agenda. As a science teacher with

Knox County Schools for more than 30 years, he developed an awardwinning ecology class at Farragut and continued it at West High School, where he directed hands-on studies of Third Creek. As a commissioner, he spent more than three years chairTony Norman ing the controversial Joint City/County Task Force on Ridge, Slope and Hillside Development and Protection that developed new regulations to curb environmental damage done by developers. Predictably, the hire has raised eyebrows. Commissioner Sam McKenzie expressed his displeasure at a meeting last week, and there was grumbling that the former commission chair, who is widely expected to be a candidate for school board in 2016, is being “rewarded” for his persis-

effectively and ask the right questions. I’m confident Tony will excel with assignments like this, and we’ve started already.” He also said there are things Norman won’t be doing: “He won’t be involved in education outreach that involves Knox County Schools. He won’t be involved in regulation of the construction trades. I’ve got eight folks who do that very well. Our bench is deep.” Norman said he’s not surprised that some have criticized his hiring. “I’ve known these people (in county engineering) for 20 years,” he said. “I spent 30 years in water quality – it’s like my calling – where my heart is.” Then he laughed and said: “I don’t want to go back into teaching. I don’t think I’d last a week (back in the school system). So when this came open, I said yeah, and really think my resume ought to be able to withstand (criticism).”

tent opposition to McIntyre’s policies, an allegation that Engineering and Public Works Director Dwight Van de Vate said is unwarranted. “Tony has a sound science background. He has a background in environmental policy and a solid general understanding of the science behind what we are responsible for doing in stormwater,” Van de Vate said. “He has good communication skills – specifically, the ability to write. Keeping dynamic, relevant, current web content is important. Many folks with engineering backgrounds, communication is not their forte. “Tony is a skilled public speaker with the ability to articulate complicated concepts clearly. He’ll be talking to elected officials. He will look at how peer jurisdictions manage their bonds and letters of credit and see if we can incorporate some of their practices.

Powell business leaders came out to rid the community of an ugly eyesore – overgrown and dead vegetation at Brickyard Road on Emory. Enhance Powell is a committee to improve the appeal of downtown Powell to support businesses when traffic is diverted to the new Powell Drive, set to open next month. Chuck Denney toted away a garbage bag full of non-organic trash, while Dr. Don Wegener hauled a trailer load of green waste. Clinton Highway Wrecker provided workers, a flatbed truck and some mighty power tools to finish up the task.

Well-Key Health coming to Clinton Highway By Sandra Clark Well-Key Health is coming to Powell with the first of two locations in Knox County, according to publicist Susan Arp. It will be a Level 1 Comprehensive Urgent Care Center and onsite Occupational Health Services. The location is the for-

mer Ruby Tuesday building at 6606 Clinton Highway at the corner of Clinton Highway and Schaad Road directly in front of Lowe’s. The second location will be in West Knox but will probably not come on line unphysicians, Dr. Michael Rothwell and Dr. Robin Huskey, who Dr. Rothwell have operated the Smoky

Mountain Urgent Care Center since 2010 in Sevierville. Interior demolition has been completed at the Powell location by the building’s owner, and construction on the renovation is expected to begin within the next two to three weeks by the WellKey contractor. The doctors

expect a March opening. The Urgent Care Center’s services include caring for acute injuries, common illnesses or minor medical problems – bridging the gap between the primary-care provider and the emergency room with both on-site digital X-ray services and a laboratory.

The Urgent Care Center will be open 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. seven days a week, 363 days a year and staffed with board-certified physicians every day. Services offered to walk-ins include laceration repair, X-ray and splinting of fractures, flu shots, lab services and occupational-health services.

A salute to veterans Many area schools hosted celebrations honoring veterans for their service. Several presented choral programs and performed patriotic songs. Students read poems to the veterans thanking them for their sacrifices and on occasion, a veteran would speak to the group.

Downtown Knoxville was the site for the annual

Veterans Day parade, when the community takes time to say thank you and honor members of the armed services. The Halls Crossroads Women’s League sponsored two trucks for the veterans in the Halls area to ride in the parade. League members handed out American flags and red caps to each participant from the area. Following the parade, the veterans were treated to lunch provided by league members.

Don’t tell me how the story ends In the front row of my music file is a Ronnie Milsap recording of a Kris Kristofferson song, “Please Don’t Tell Me How the Story Ends.” It popped up, unsolicited, when I thought of Jacob Gilliam and his final home appearance on behalf of Tennessee football. I know enough. I don’t need to know the ending. Maybe Jacob will become a coach or a business leader. He is a winning warrior. I believe he will be successful at something. I hope he is happy. I hope he can walk. Nothing like Jacob Gilliam has happened in my most-of-a-lifetime monitoring of the Volunteers. Other walk-ons have exceeded expectations, earned scholarships, achieved starting status. Nick Reveiz and a few others became captains. Maybe one beat out a junior college all-American and took his job, but I don’t remember that. I’m almost certain nobody ever played offensive tackle on one good leg and a torn knee ligament in the other. That Jacob wanted to try was stunning. It said his

Marvin West

love of football went beyond lip service, a bit deeper than touching the motivational sign on the way from the dressing room to the playing field and repeating the promise, “I will give my all for Tennessee.” It said he cared more for the team than himself. Ordinary people, when damaged, hobble off to a hospital and hope an orthopedic magician can make necessary repairs. Jacob skipped the surgery and started rehabilitation as soon as the swelling went down. It may have hurt. That Jacob made it back was a shock. He showed up on the sidelines at practice. I mistook that for loyalty. He attended meetings, keeping up with instruction. Suddenly, he was involved in limited workouts. He ran slowly. He never was a speedster. He is 6-4 and 290. Half of that is heart.

That he recovered enough to reclaim the starting job was amazing. I considered the possibility that Butch Jones has a sentimental streak and was simply rewarding courage and determination. That wasn’t it. The offensive line was better with Jacob Gilliam (and Joshua Dobbs). Don’t bother with how this story ends. It is already better than most movie plots. This guy was good at Farragut High. He had scholarship offers to smaller colleges. He wanted to go to Tennessee. He was thrilled when 2009 line coach James Cregg invited him over for conversation. Alas, when Gilliam arrived, there was no greeting. Cregg was gone – with Lane Kiffin to Southern Cal. A very nice Derek Dooley said Gilliam could walk on. He was a redshirt in 2010. Most of 2011 was lost to a shoulder injury. In 2012, he got in for two plays at the end of the Kentucky game. He said that was very meaningful. I said he had outlasted Dooley. Gilliam was second team last season, behind Tiny Richardson. He played briefly in two blowout losses.

This spring, day after day, he had to prove he was capable. He beat out Dontavius Blair, 6-8 and 313, the handpicked replacement for Richardson. Astounding what effort and smarts and fierce determination can do. Gilliam C oach Jones awarded a scholarship. Much earlier Jacob had earned the respect of teammates. He started the season opener against Utah State. He suffered the torn ACL. “It’s very, very unfortunate,” Butch Jones said. “I feel for him … I love him to death.” Cruel conclusion? The end? Not exactly. Cheering is not permitted in the press box, under threat of expulsion, but when Jacob Gilliam jogs onto Shields-Watkins Field for the last time, I’m going to risk it. Yea! Quietly. Nothing like this has happened in my time. Marvin West invites reader reaction. His address is westwest6@netzero.com.

Health is more than absence of disease, says Buchanan By Wendy Smith Some of the best work of the Knox County Health Department happens outside the walls of the its three facilities, says Director Martha Buchanan. Most people think of vaccinations or treatment of STDs when they think of the health department. But a quick browse through the KCHD website reveals an array of services, from a school dental program to tips on how to keep well water safe. Buchanan is most proud of the way the organization works within the community. Through recent efforts, the health department has improved the city’s walkability, helped people grow their own fruits and vegetables, and fostered a sense of community. “We’re empowering people so they know they have a voice in their own health.” She was a family-practice doctor for seven years before joining the KCHD 11 years ago. She has been director for four years. KCHD employs 250 and has a total budget of $25 million. Local government provides 75 percent of funding, and the remaining 25 percent comes from federal and state government and grants. The health department includes talented, passionate staff who go into the community to develop relationships and building trust, allowing them to gauge a neighborhood’s health needs, like playgrounds or safe places to walk. Health is about more

are public-health detectives who track down causes of infectious disease and investigate patterns of illness, like cancer, she says. One of the roles of the health department is to think through the unthinkable, like flu pandemics or an outbreak of Ebola. Strategies are in place for such circumstances, but prevention is the primary objective. In the case of Ebola, the county gets information Dr. Martha Buchanan speaks from Homeland Security to a civic club.

They It’s a balancing act between

privacy and public concern, she says. It’s important to err on the side of caution, but if someone has no symptoms, there is no risk of infection. The health challenges in Knox County are the same as those across the state. Obesity is one. Another is making sure that everyone, from inner-city families to wealthy suburbanites, can be healthy if they choose to be. It’s a problem that can only be addressed through engagement, which requires reaching out to decision-makers as well as the community. We’re changing how we view healthcare, and everyone needs to be better informed, Buchanan says. “There’s a learning curve there.”

Prayer for Jacob By Marvin West Behind Jacob Gilliam’s unlikely comeback from a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee are deep family faith and hours and hours of prayer. Nathan Gilliam, Farragut High football senior, believed it when his older brother declared his Tennessee career was not finished. “I actually thought he would make it back,” said Nathan. “We prayed so much for that.” Three weeks after the injury, Jacob returned to the Tennessee practice field. “I remember thinking, ‘Wow!’ ” said Nathan. Vol line coach Don Mahoney had other thoughts – about work ethic, passion and desire. “This really is who he is and what he stands for, and it’s just hard work and tremendous character … it’s not a surprise.” Forty-nine days after

the injury, Jacob played against Ole Miss. A week later he regained a starting job. “I am so proud of him,” said Nathan Gilliam. He said Jacob’s recovery “feels like a miracle.” The Gilliam family – parents David and Michelle, their three football gladiators (Alex is the baby brother) and a very special grandmother – relied on their faith. Honey Rock Victorious Church was the focal point. The Gilliams met with the worship leader and his family every Thursday for intensive prayer. Nathan tells of “the laying on of hands.” Jacob believes those prayers and support from hundreds of others led to healing. He says he has been blessed with strength and stability in the knee. He says there has been very little pain. Teammates are in awe. “Dude’s tough,” said tailback Jalen Hurd.

Thunder Road revisited I recently voted in Farragut’s early voting, and one of the controversial issues this year is allowing wine to be sold in Farragut’s grocery stores. This issue reminded me of a similar referendum in 1961 when Knox County voted to legalize whiskey sales in package stores and, and finally, liquor by the drink in 1972. Referenda to legalize whiskey sales in Knox County date to 1941, and the proposal was placed on the ballot five times during that 20-year period until it was finally approved. The vote brought together two interest groups that would normally oppose each other; most Christian ministers opposed legalization based on “moral issues,” and area bootleggers opposed it for economic issues. But the real losers when the vote carried were the whiskey runners. Many kids considered these fearless drivers to be heroes, and for rural mountain boys, it was an occupation that could quickly lift them out of poverty. Of course, one such driver’s adventures were the subject of the 1958 movie “Thunder Road” starring Robert Mitchum, and I dare say there were few teenagers who missed seeing this flick because it involved “souped up” Fords that most kids dreamed of owning. But the real “Thunder

Malcolm Shell

Road” that spurred the beginning of NASCAR racing occurred in 1954 when I was a sophomore in high school, and one of my classmates was witness to the event. John Fitzgerald related the story many times, and many who have written about the famous crash consider John’s account the most credible. John had stopped to air up his bicycle tires when he became aware of a crash just down the road. He could see a fire and knew something big had happened. Police officers related the story to him. The driver was well known to authorities, who had nicknamed him Tweedle O’Twill. There had been two roadblocks set for the elusive driver. Since the authorities were not sure which road he would take – Papermill or Kingston Pike – the first roadblock was set up just a few hundred yards west of the intersection. The second roadblock was at the present-day Gallery shopping center. Through his driving skills and some luck, he To next page

Womick has challenged Speaker Beth Harwell for the GOP nomination for House Speaker to be decided by the GOP caucus in December. Womick represents the anti-Haslam faction of the House GOP caucus. This writer contacted all six Knox Republican lawmakers as to whom they planned on supporting at the December caucus. With the exception of Bill Dunn, all said they were voting for Harwell. They are Harry Brooks, Ryan Haynes, Eddie Smith, Martin Daniel and Roger Kane. Dunn said he simply did not disclose his vote. However, he added that he thought Harwell had done

an excellent job as speaker and thought she would be re-elected. That is Dunn’s way of saying (without saying) that he is for Harwell. ■ Gloria Johnson should not be counted out as a future candidate just because she lost the state representative race.

government ementary School principal Lana Shelton-Lowe sent her teachers an email warning them of possible negative impacts of ending SAT-10. On Nov. 6, Mooreland Heights Elementary School principal Roy Miller sent a similar email to a group of teachers warning them of the consequences of not having SAT-10 numbers to enhance their scores. On Nov. 10, board member Karen Carson, McIntyre’s strongest board ally, shot off an email to board chair Mike McMillan objecting to the Nov. 3

vote because she believed the motion on the floor was broader than the meeting notice and therefore fatally flawed – “Please let me know when I can expect resolution to this unfortunate error in procedure.” Uh, maybe never? Meanwhile, Sanger told Channel 10’s Mike Donila that she won’t vote to reinstate SAT-10. Without Sanger’s vote, there won’t be a majority willing to reinstate the controversial testing of Knox County’s youngest students.

Saunders and Marshall Stair, or the district seat held by Mark Campen. Campen has the lowest profile of the four incumbents and had no opponent in the last election. If she ran for the Campen council seat, she would be a very strong contender. However, Johnson wants to be chair of the state Democratic Party, but that would not prevent her from serving on City Council, which currently only has one woman, Brenda Palmer, who is term limited in 2017. She is not alone in wanting the state position. Former U.S. Senate candidate Terry Adams is mentioned along with Linda Sherrill, who opposed U.S. Rep. Scott DesJarlais on Nov. 4. ■ One consequence

of the Johnson defeat may be that Tammy Kaousias leaves the Knox County Election Commission in April. The current law provides that the Democratic lawmakers from Knoxville recommend the two Democratic election commissioners. When Joe Armstrong and Johnson were the two lawmakers, they simply picked one each, and Kaousias was the Johnson choice. With Johnson gone, Armstrong will get to recommend both positions. He is free to choose Kaousias again, or he might choose someone else as it is totally his choice. ■ Tony Hernandez, who covers Knoxville city issues for the News Sentinel, is departing for Oregon. He will be missed.

Thunder Road was able to get around the first roadblock and probably thought he was in the clear, but when he saw the second block, he knew this one would be much harder to break. The road and grade have been altered since the early ’50s, when a steep red clay bank was on the south side of the Pike. His intent was to jump a ditch, climb the bank and somehow bring his car back to the road past the roadblock. But jumping the bank broke the tie-rods on his car, making it impossible to steer. The car careened across the road and ran through a chain-link fence surrounding an electrical substation. Sparks from the substation ignited the broken whiskey bottles, creating an inferno. And as the song says: “The

From previous page devil got the moonshine and the mountain boy that day.” During my youth, Dixie Lee Junction was a favorite gathering spot after a football game. And part of the entertainment was watching whiskey haulers come through at high speeds. A widely-known bootlegger owned a fleet of black Mercurys. The cars had exhaust headers that could be heard several miles down U.S. Highway 70. Running out of Nashville, they always ran four or five together and maybe only one or two actually contained bottled whiskey. The other cars were used as decoys or to block police cars so the cars with the whiskey could get away. The moonshine usually came out of North Carolina or Kentucky, while the bottled whiskey came from

Nashville or Bristol, Va. The border between Tennessee and Virginia runs through Bristol, but whiskey was legal in Virginia and illegal in Tennessee. So the bootlegger could simply buy whiskey by the case in Virginia and deliver it to Tennessee. Today, diners can enjoy cocktails at most restaurants. I suspect the younger generation would find it amusing that liquor was so hard to get not so long ago. Private clubs often sold whiskey at high prices. Some restaurants allowed you to bring your own bottle but supplied expensive setups. And I bet the younger generation would find it even more amusing that 60 years ago, people risked their lives to deliver whiskey to markets that are now served by distributing vendors.

Start shining Indeed, you are my lamp, O Lord, the Lord lightens my darkness. (2 Samuel 22: 29 NRSV) To double day, and cut in half the dark.

Crying babies David had Goliath. Moses had Pharaoh. Elijah had Ahab. And preachers have crying babies. OK, maybee hthe battle between preachat ers and crying babies at worship services doesn’t ’t quite rise to the level off those other conflicts, but sometimes preachers, as well as the congregation, can lose perspective. I don’t know of a preacher who hasn’t had a few sermons ruined by one of these precious little bundles of piercing screams or by a

old. It is the kind of lamp that would have been used in every home in the Middle East in biblical times. It is small, fitting easily in the palm of my hand. It has a decorative design around the opening where the oil would be poured into it. I, of course, asked him if I could put oil and a wick in it and light it. (I may have mentioned in this space my love of candles!) He was aghast, and he hastened to instruct me that it was clay, after all, and because it had not been used in centuries, it would disintegrate if I put oil in it. So, it has sat on a shelf

in my house for almost 40 years, simply as a beloved keepsake, not serving its intended purpose, not providing light for anyone. It could, however, be a parable for the Christian life. There are some folks who claim to be Christian but who do not serve anyone, any church, any purpose, any Lord. They are not only missing the mark, they are missing the blessings of relationship, of service, of growth. If you were meant to give light, start shining. If you were meant to serve, put on your servant shoes and get busy.

behind you, simply look straight ahead. While sitting there, listen to a recording that addresses a topic that is beyond your comprehension. For the duration of this hour, do not move or speak. Then have someone bigger than you sit beside you, and every time you fidget, have them pinch or threaten to spank you. After you’ve tried this, perhaps you will better understand the perspective of a small child in worship. While I’ll be the first to tell you that a crying baby can be quite an inconvenience and a distraction, let

me share a positive side. ■ A crying baby announces hope for the future. ■ A crying baby testifies of parents’ efforts to spiritually train their child. ■ A crying baby signifies that a church hasn’t bought into the idea that children and adults should be segregated.

Painting a picture of community By Cindy Taylor

Allen McMichael and Adam Wolfe, members of Fellowship Church Pellissippi, get the pancake dinner started.

Fellowship North Church frequently holds community events inviting people to the church for food and fellowship. This quarter, lead pastor Michael Thomas and associate pastor Steve VanHorn pulled together a dinner and painted a picture of what true community should look like. Upon their arrival, attendees were greeted outside the church and given a rousing welcome complete with standing ovation. Children were met with a scooter they could ride to the children’s meeting area inside. Dinner was a breakfast meal of sausage, pancakes, fruit and drinks provided by members of the new campus launch at Fellowship Church Pellissippi. The evening was one of fun and merriment. Twins

Rob and Bob Ross (pastors VanHorn and Thomas) portrayed late TV personality Bob Ross as they painted a picture onstage. Huddle groups were invited to compete in Oreo contests, balloon-bursting contests, and other fun activities. To close out the evening, the more than 40 children who attended the event arrived back in the auditorium with their own paintings of what they thought community should look like. Fellowship North Church will hold an Outside the Box on Sunday, Nov. 30. Members will spend the morning working at various locations in the community. Fellowship North Church is at 3203 Tazewell Pike in the Fountainhead Building. Info and teaching: www. north.fellowshipknox.org.

Isaiah Williams takes a minute for fun while helping out at the Lighthouse Christian Church rummage sale to raise funds for a spring trip to the Christ in Youth conference.

Lighthouse Christian Church is doing fall cleaning and raising money for a youth trip. Christ in Youth (CIY) will hold a conference next summer. This gives the youth group at Lighthouse plenty of time to raise funds. The church started the fundraising efforts Oct. 8 with a rummage sale. The youth were on hand to help with setup and sales. Sale items were donated by church members. While the sale was going on inside, church members were working outdoors to beautify the

grounds and prepare for winter, pruning plants, mowing grass and – hopefully for the last time this year – raking leaves. The praise band took the opportunity to practice for the upcoming week after shopping the sale. All items remaining after the sale were donated to KARM. Lighthouse Christian Church members describe their worship as casual, upbeat, interactive and meaningful. The church is at 8015 Facade Lane in Powell. Info: 865938-3367.

Ricks will be one of approximately 120 band members to wear the Army colors and march at the Army All-American Bowl game in Dallas in January 2015.

‘Mockingjay’ lands early, offers marathon The phenomenon rolls on as “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part I” opens in theaters at 8 p.m. tomorrow.

Commander Paylor (Patina Miller), Gale Hawthorne (Liam Hemsworth), Boggs (Mahershala Ali), Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) and Pollux (Elden Henson) stay on their toes in “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part I.”

Betsy Pickle

According to Fandango and MovieTickets.com, the third film in the “Hunger Games” saga has racked up the highest advance tickets sales of 2014. Tickets went on sale Oct. 29. Don’t be surprised to find several showings sold out this weekend. The story, based on the third and final novel in Suzanne Collins’ trilogy, picks up where “Catching Fire” left off. Having destroyed the Hunger Games, Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) reluctantly becomes the face of the rebellion in Panem. Katniss continues on her quest to kill Panem President Snow (Donald Sutherland), but meanwhile she has serious trust issues with District 13 President Coin (Julianne Moore), as well as with several allies. Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Woody Harrelson, Elizabeth Banks, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Stanley Tucci and Jeffrey Wright also star. The second part of “Mockingjay” will be released in November 2015. To prepare fans for the latest entry in the “Hunger

Games” series, several theaters will have a “Hunger Games” marathon Thursday, showing “The Hunger Games” and “Catching Fire” before culminating with “Mockingjay – Part I” at 8 p.m. Regal’s Pinnacle, Riviera and West Town and Cinemark’s Tinseltown in Oak Ridge will start the event at 2:30 p.m. But those itching to be first should go to Carmike’s Foothills in Maryville, which will start the marathon at 2 p.m.

Special screenings:

‘Barber,’ Queen Two special screenings will take place at West Town Mall 9 in the next few days. The Metropolitan Opera’s live production of “The Barber of Seville” will be shown at 12:55 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 22. Tickets are $24 for adults, $22 for seniors and $18 for children.

“Queen Rock Montreal,” aka “We Will Rock You: Queen Live in Concert,” will have one showing on the big screen, 7 p.m. Monday, Nov. 24, at West Town. The documentary shot in 1981 shows the band at its peak during a tour stop in Canada. Tickets are $12.50.

Sparkle on the stage As we move into the holiday season, it’s important to remember that all the sparkle is not on the tree. This weekend two “sparkling” productions are opening. Both are full of music and fun.

Plate it This time of year, it’s not a good idea to upset your momma. For that reason, I suggest that, if discussing the meatloaf you just ordered at Sullivan’s Fine Foods at Rocky Hill, you tell her it is “almost as good as yours.” You’ll be lying, because my momma made the best meatloaf in the world, and Sullivan’s is better than hers. Here’s the thing about meatloaf. It’s either schoolcafeteria bad or slap-yomomma good. There really isn’t anything in between. For all its façade of simplicity, meatloaf is hard. It can be “too” on so many levels: too mealy, too dense, too soupy, too tomatoey. Then, even if you get it right, you have to deal with the essential topping. Brown gravy or tomato? If brown, mushrooms or peppers? If tomato, ketchup or

First, the Oak Ridge Playhouse presents “Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella.” Those of a certain age will remember the 1965 production with Lesley Ann Warren being waltzed around the ballroom by Stuart Damon as both sang, “ten minutes ago I saw you …” Those of an even – ahem – more certain age may remember the same scenario with Julie Andrews and Jon Cypher in 1957. Featuring such songs as “In My Own Little Corner” and “When You’re Driving Through the Moonlight,” this show is a joy from start to finish. My own favorite is the “Stepsisters’ Lament,” sung by the disgruntled siblings after the prince has been taken with Cinderella’s beauty: “She’s a frothy little bubble with a flimsy kind of charm; and with very little trouble, I could break her little arm!” “Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella” begins Friday, Nov. 21, and runs through Sunday, Dec. 7.

playhouse.com or call 865482-9999. Knoxville Opera presents its first production of the 2014-2015 season with Gilbert and Sullivan’s “H.M.S. Pinafore.” “This classic comedy is known for its familiar melodies as well as clever wordplay that dares to poke fun at politics and authoritative figures in a delightfully provocative way,” says KOC maestro and executive director Brian Salesky. “People of all ages will enjoy the music, characters, elaborate stage setting and costumes.” The plot plays out aboard a naval ship and centers on the conflicts of love between people from different social classes. The opera takes jabs at the British class system, party politics, the Royal Navy and the ironic rise of unqualified people into authority; even the title injects humor by using the name of the female pinafore garment in reference to the masculine naval warship.

Brian Deedrick of Edmonton Opera in Alberta, Canada, directs the show. He’s well known and loved by Knoxville Opera Company fans and participants. Production manager Don Townsend says, “Deedrick is hilarious as always to work with and has even written some snappy new dialogue for the cast … adding in local gags dealing with UT football, etc.” Townsend is also upbeat about the cast. “Sean Anderson, who sang here recently, is back as a befuddled Captain Corcoran, and Donata Cucinotta is his daughter, Josephine, who is in love with Ralph, tenor Josh Kohl. “But the real star of the show is old friend Steven Condy, who helped inaugurate the first Rossini Festival back in 2002 as Don Magnifico in Rossini’s ‘La Cenerentola.’ Condy is wonderful as the British Lord of the Admiralty, Sir Joseph Porter, who has come

to claim Josephine as his bride.” Local luminaries include University of Tennessee voice professors Lorraine DiSimone and Andrew Wentzel, as well as a 16-member chorus. Having worked for Knoxville Opera Company myself in the past, I can tell you that opera singers – contrary to their “diva” image – are actually some of the nicest, most fun-loving people you’ll ever come across. They’ll be throwing themselves full-tilt into this spectacular production, and you’re invited to join in. Performances are at 8 p.m. Friday, Nov. 21, and 2:30 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 23, at the Tennessee Theatre. Maestro Salesky will host a special opera preview session 45 minutes prior to each performance.

sauce? Here’s where Sullivan’s excels. They get the meatloaf right in density and spices, and they use ground chuck for the right fat content. They don’t overcook it. And then they sidestep the whole “sauce” issue by doing both. The top of the meatloaf is slathered with a thick layer of tomato ketchup that has been baked just enough to stick to the meat. Then the whole slice is covered in a rich brown mush-

Let’s ‘friend’ people with dementia By Bill Dockery Knoxville goes by a lot of labels: “Big Orange Country” for UT sports, or “Scruffy City,” an insult that has turned into a point of pride. Now a group of health-care professionals is determined to paint Knoxville purple, making it the nation’s first official dementia-friendly city. Carolyn Pointer Neil unveiled the broad outline of the Purple Cities AlliNeil ance to a Town Hall East meeting on Nov. 11. Neil, who is president of Elder Advocates in Knoxville, is one of the public fronts for the project, which aims to alert Knoxville organizations and individuals to the needs of people with brain-related illnesses. “The Purple Cities Alliance wants to make our community

aware of the people with dementia in our midst and educate everyone to respond in ways that are helpful and compassionate,” Neil said. The project uses purple from the “Purple Angel” icon, developed in Europe as a marker for dementia awareness and concern. Neil told the Town Hall East gathering about a recent incident that shows the need for the program. “A little lady drove into the parking lot at Kroger’s,” Neil said. “When she was ready to go into the store, she couldn’t remember how to get out of her car. Soon a crowd gathered around, all trying to tell her how to unlock the doors. “Then the fire truck showed up.” Neil called that a dementia emergency that stresses the sufferer, confuses bystanders and burdens family caregivers. She said the alliance’s developing programs will help address these concerns.

Digging up the imagination You don’t have to look far to stretch your imagination in Powell. Imagination Forest has been open for eight months and consistently keeps the community engaged with special events. Last week the store celebrated a “Grander Opening” and participated in National Neighborhood Toy Store Day. A ribboncutting on Friday kicked off the event, followed by a cash mob, door prizes and refreshments. Balloons adorned the store, a Fossil and Dig event was held in the party room and face painting was free for all. “We are so grateful to the Powell Community for their support during the grander opening and throughout this year,” said Imagination Forest

“We need to be teaching our community the basics of dementia and how to respond,” Neil said. “I call it CPR for brain disease.” The programs being developed will train businesses, churches, police, firefighters and other emergency personnel to be aware of and to respond to someone suffering a public crisis. The kickoff celebration is scheduled for May 11, 2015, on Market Square in downtown Knoxville. Both Knoxville Mayor Madeline Rogero and Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett are committed to supporting the effort. By then, the alliance task force plans to have 100 or more businesses, agencies, community organizations and civic groups enrolled. The alliance has posted a Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/dementiafriendlycommunity. The alliance is already drawing on a wide complement of people and organizations who serve the

aging population, including the Pat Summitt Foundation, Alzheimer’s Tennessee, the East Tennessee Alzheimer’s Association, the area Agency on Aging and Disability and the Knoxville Office on Aging. All three Knoxville-based hospital/ health systems are involved, as are Courtyards Senior Living, Trinity Hills Senior Living, and other area senior-care facilities. Some 80 percent of dementia cases involve Alzheimer’s disease, with vascular dementia making up much of the remaining 20 percent. Worldwide, about 44 million people have brain disease. Neil, a native of Norris, Tenn., is a licensed nursing home administrator with degrees from Berea College and the University of Tennessee, and additional studies with Johns Hopkins University. She worked at UT Medical Center and the Hillcrest nursing homes in Knoxville before founding her own company.

TIPS FOR AGING ADULTS ■ Review your support systems, including the people you can rely on and your finances. ■ Prepare appropriate legal documents, including wills and powers of attorney for health issues and finances. ■ Investigate your Medicare options. ■ Review the adequacy of your professional services, including doctors, pharmacies, counselors and home care.

Proton Therapy explained By Bonny Millard

The Provision Center for Proton Therapy, which opened earlier this year, provides cutting-edge proton radiation treatment for cancer patients and is quickly making Knoxville a national medical destination. David Raubach, vice president of operations for Provision, spoke to the Rotary Club of Farragut about the center’s aggressive treatment, which reduces side effects associated with conventional radiation treatment. The center, a nonprofit treatment facility, was founded by Knoxvillian Terry Douglass. Proton therapy provides more precise targeting of cancer cells, destroying them while minimizing damage to surrounding tissues. Raubach explained that protons are heavier and

can be stopped after entering the body. This way the protons are directed and concentrated in the tumor. X-ray radiation therapy sends beams that travel all the way through the body, damaging healthy tissues, he said. Proton therapy has been around for a long time, gaining FDA approval in 1988, but the cost was almost prohibitive, he said. The Provision Center, part of the Provision Health Alliance, is located on a campus with several other medical facilities at Dowell Springs off Middlebrook Pike. “The goal was to create a world-class cancer campus here in Knoxville,” he said. A cyclotron, used in the treatment process, weighs 220 tons or the equivalent of two space shuttles and had to be transported on the Tennessee River.

David Raubach “It was quite a process getting this piece of equipment in,” he said. The center has had patients from 18 states and three different countries, Raubach said. Medicare and some in-

surance companies will pay for treatment, but progress is being made in getting coverage. The Provision Cares Foundation is available to help patients. Info: www.provisionproton.com/.

With nearly 1 million Tennesseans without health insurance, a new Knoxvillebased company, Enroll Health, plans to reduce that number by making the process fast, easy and affordable for everyone. Everyone needs health coverage – it’s the law – but many Tennesseans have struggled with new requirements under the Affordable Care Act. Enroll Health is a division of Enrollment First Inc., a national company that has provided healthcare solutions to more

than 200,000 people over the past decade. Working with all of the major health-insurance providers (Cigna, Humana, Blue Cross/Blue Shield , Aetna, etc.), Enroll Health will review a person’s situation and show them all of the options available to them for free. They will even determine if that individual qualifies for subsidies to offset the cost of their coverage. The entire process takes only minutes and costs nothing. “People really don’t understand the Affordable

Care Act,” said Hazen Mirts, president and CEO of Enroll Health. “We’re helping people who have had insurance for years and we’re helping people who have never had health coverage. Enroll Health can get health insurance for someone for as little as $50 per month, and many people qualify for monthly premiums lower than that. Knox County offices are in West Town Mall and The Gallery on Kingston Pike. Info: 865-243-3900 or www.EnrollHealth.com/.

Rising Utility Bills?

Sandra Clark

Knoxville lawyer Scott Frith explained that concept and more to students at Sarah Moore Greene Magnet Academy’s newspaper club last week. Sponsored by Shopper-News, the club meets each Wednesday after school. The first session is primarily third-graders; the second is mostly fifthgraders. Frith (whose email address is scott@pleadthefrith.com) staged a mock trial. I was the defendant, accused of stealing a yellow highlighter. Scott talked about an attorney’s job as he coached each participant – the judge, the prosecutor, the defense attorney and even the witnesses. The kids were quick to improvise. And we all learned something. The first jury split 4-2 for guilty. The verdict? Not guilty, of course. Scott explained: A verdict is not decided by majority vote. A guilty verdict must be unanimous. If it’s not unanimous, the verdict is not guilty. Wow. It felt great to be exonerated. I was so happy I caught up with victim Destiny Woods in the hall and offered her highlighter back. Carol Springer, co-sponsor of the club, said afterward that a better defense would have been to argue that the yellow object in my hand was a banana and I was running because I was really, really hungry. But why argue with a win? Danea Summerford became Ruth White’s favorite because she’s so handy with a camera. Now she tops my list because as my defense lawyer she sprang me on a technicality. The sky’s the limit for this kid.

Hallsdale Powell Utility District set 23 meters and inspected 21 sewer hookups during October. The district treated 213.9 million gallons of water and 261.4 million gallons of wastewater. At the November meeting, HPUD commissioners awarded a contract for $148,500 to low bidder Progression Electric LLC to install generators at the administrative and operations buildings. Payments were OK’d for: Caldwell Tanks, Elkins Road water storage tank, $39,425; and Charles Blalock & Sons, Crippen Gap tank/Shotsman Lane, final payment, $77,065. The next board meeting is 1:30 p.m. Monday, Dec. 8, at the district office. – S. Clark

Backwoods Bistro is open for business in Halls. Owner Nathaniel Morris is optimistic about prospects for the eat-in or carryout restaurant. After all, he knows that great food will keep customers coming back. “We bought the business but kept the name and most menu items,” he said. “We wanted to simplify pricing for families, which we’ve done with our platters.” Platters are served with two sides, hush puppies and a drink. With eight choices including prime rib, pulled pork, hamburger steak, chicken tenders and country-fried steak, platter prices range from $15.99 to $7.99 Baskets include one side and a drink. There are 15 choices ranging from $6.49 for a BLT basket to $10.99 for a “double barrel” hamburger or prime rib on a hoagie bun. The children’s menu includes entrée, fries and a small drink for $3.99 to $4.99. Morris says restaurants define “fresh” differently. Here’s what he means: “All of our burgers are cut from fresh beef chucks, ground and pattied on site. Our French fries arrive as potatoes, before being cut and seasoned by our chefs. In fact, every entrée, salad

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

East Tennessee woman ‘still Nana’ after stroke In January 2014, Deborah Grantham of Jones Cove, Tenn., 59, woke up with what she feared were the symptoms of a stroke. “I got up that morning and my left arm felt like it was asleep, numb, it just didn’t feel right,” said Grantham. “My daughter kept calling me, checking on me. She kept asking, ‘Do you think you’re having a stroke?’ I said, ‘I don’t know, but I’m getting a little scared.’ ” Grantham did not want to go to the hospital, but her daughter took her anyway. They arrived at the emergency department of LeConte Medical Center in Sevierville, where physicians conﬁrmed she had indeed had a stroke. “I didn’t want to go to intensive care,” said Grantham. “First, I don’t have insurance, and I also didn’t want to be away from my grandchildren. My grandson is on the autistic spectrum, and I knew he was going to be hard to handle. I’ve never been too far from him.” But a stroke is a serious medical event. And after a week in the hospital, Grantham learned she would need even more intensive physical, occupational and speech therapy at a rehabilitation center. “They asked me if I would be interested in going to the Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center if I had

a scholarship,” she said. “I was very interested because I knew how good they were. My husband, Bill, was there seven years ago, when he had his left leg amputated below the knee. They helped him so much.” The Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center offers some scholarships for patients without insurance, provided by private donations and funds from the annual Patricia Neal Golf Classic. So Grantham spent another week away from her family, working to regain the use of her left arm. She followed up with four months of outpatient visits as well. The results have been dramatic, she said. “They helped me learn how to do a lot of things for myself, like how to take my bath. At ﬁrst I couldn’t use my hand at all. But since I’ve been in therapy, I got back a good bit of use of my hand. It’s not perfect, and it’s going to take some time, but it’s so much better than it was.” Grantham said she has focused

on doing household tasks. “I have learned to use the electric can opener; I have made my bed. I am folding clothes, but that is still a hard job. They’re not perfect but they’re folded! I sweep my ﬂoors, wash my dishes, I have mopped my ﬂoor – that’s not easy.” Grantham said the staff at PNRC tries to make therapy fun. “You work hard, but you don’t have time to feel sorry for yourself because you’re so busy! We played games that were good for your brain, but you don’t think about what it’s doing for you,” she said. “The Patricia Neal staff was wonderful to me, and I would recommend them to anybody. I had excellent care. All the nurses came when I needed help. They were wonderful,” Grantham said. Today she is back at home with her husband and enjoying her 12 grandchildren who live nearby. “My 4-year-old granddaughter says, ‘Nana, let me hold your hand you had a stroke in.’ They don’t think any different, I’m still Nana.”

Deborah Grantham works with occupational therapist Tom Johnson on strengthening her hand while grasping and releasing objects. Grantham suffered a stroke in January and has made great strides in therapy at Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center.

Recognize the signs of a stroke FAST! The early symptoms of stroke are often overlooked or ignored. If you suspect that you or a loved one is having a stroke, think FAST:

F – FACE: Look at your face. Is one side sagging? A – ARMS: Hold out your arms. Is one arm lower than the other or harder to hold in place? S – SPEECH: Is your speech slurred or garbled? T – TIME: Time is critical when trying to minimize the effects of stroke.

Call 911 and get to a hospital as quickly as possible. And be sure your hospital is a stroke-ready, Comprehensive Stroke Center, like Fort Sanders Regional.

Stroke Belt keeps Knoxville doctor busy Ask Dr. Keith Woodward what life is like in the Stroke Belt, and he’ll give you a oneword answer: “Busy!” It’s no wonder – in 2012, Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center’s Comprehensive Stroke Center treated 455 patients for stroke. In 2013, it averaged 35 to 40 strokes per month. Woodward’s department treats about 100 of those patients per year. “Those are very high numbers,” Woodward said. “We are in the buckle of the Stroke Belt, and stroke volumes are high here. Of course, this is much higher than all other facilities due to Fort Sanders’ comprehensive stroke center certiﬁcation and the Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center being here.” Too, the risk factors for stroke – high blood pressure, smoking, sedentary lifestyle and the Southern diet of “fried everything” – are all higher here. When Woodward came to Knoxville, no one could perform procedures inside the arteries of the brain. He was particularly concerned when a local high school football player collapsed with a stroke and had to be sent to Asheville, N.C., because that was where the closest doctor was that could treat those disorders.

“I decided to go back and complete additional training to perform these procedures in the brain,” Woodward said. When he returned in 2005, patients no longer needed to travel to get the best stroke care. Now at Fort Sanders Regional for a decade, he is currently chairman of its Acute Stroke Team and Medical Director of the Neurovascular Research Center of East TenDr. Keith Woodward says advances in stroke treatnessee. Woodward is boardment have drastically reduced the time it takes certified by the American to remove clots, often minimizing damage to the Board of Radiology and has the brain.” Certificate of Added Qualification in Interventional Radiology. In many cases, Woodward treats those Strokes are now the fourthleading cause of death in the United States. patients with a procedure known as meStrokes occur when blood flow to the brain chanical embolectomy. “We place a needle in the artery in the is disrupted. Disruption in blood flow is caused when either a blood clot blocks one groin and advance a catheter using X-rays of the vital blood vessels in the brain (isch- as a guide, until the catheter reaches the emic stroke) or when a blood vessel in the neck,” Woodward says. “Then, we advance brain bursts, spilling blood into surround- a smaller catheter into the brain to the clot. ing tissues (hemorrhagic stroke). Ischemic A pump is then attached, and the clot is strokes account for 87 percent of all strokes. sucked out of the artery.”

The procedure has come a long way over the years. “The tools are so much better – six-hour procedures to remove clots have been reduced to now commonly less than 30 minutes,” Woodward says, adding speed is vitally important when treating strokes. That is because the longer the clot remains, the longer the brain is without blood and oxygen. As a result, the cells in the affected area begin to die, affecting whatever functions that area controlled. “More often than not, stroke damage is permanent,” says Woodward. “However, it almost always improves over the ﬁrst six months after a stroke. Rehab is the key during that period to help the brain recover.” Busy though they may be, Woodward says his days are not without their rewards. One of those, he said, is when “I can see a person unable to walk or talk, and 24 hours later, they can go home from the hospital.”
