By Sandra Clark The Halls Business and Professional Association led fund-raising to purchase land for Clayton Park (Norris Freeway across from the former Walmart), so it was fitting that the board convened there to inspect the recently-completed facilities. Knox County’s Department of Parks and Recreation developed the park in keeping with Mayor Tim Burchett’s pay-as-we-go strategy. Bottom line: Halls has a 12-acre, million dollar park with no debt. And at least two strong organizations, HBPA and the Halls Women’s League, stand ready to launch fundraisers for more improvements. “I want an amphitheater ,� said Carl Tindell. “Fishing hole,� said someone else. This writer just stared at the beautiful space and wondered what Max Hodge, whose farm it had been, would have thought. But then, having known Max, it’s clear. He would have grinned and said, “Well done.� And he would have kicked in the first dollar for the fishing hole. Doug Bataille, director of Parks and Rec, will speak at the Tuesday, June 21, meeting of the HBPA (noon at Beaver Brook, all are inClayton Park is open for playing, say officers of the Halls Business and Professional Association: Ernie Joyner, Sue vited). Tindell wants to discuss Walker, David Buckner, Pam Johnson, Sandy Cates, Joe Pratt, Carl Tindell, Denise Girard and Travis Woody. The sign, connectivity of the walking trails dedicated in memory of former HBPA president Mary Lou Horner, was paid for, in part, by the business association. in Halls. To page A-3 Photos by S.

Work underway on 640 at Broadway By Sandra Clark Just when you thought that morning commute could not get worse, the state Department of Transportation has begun work on the intersection of Broadway and Interstate 640. The Steve Borden $22 million project is scheduled for completion on July 31, 2018. Meanwhile, the interstate speed limit within the construction zone has been reduced to 45 miles per hour and the lighting will come down. New light poles will be installed later. At a non-publicized meeting last week at Central Baptist Church,

Qualified apology to Bill Dunn The war of words between state Rep. Bill Dunn and school board member Amber Rountree rages on. Dunn complained, accurately, that he said a letter supporting school vouchers was from the board chair, not the entire school board .... But that’s just part of the story, writes Betty Bean, who listened to a two-hour tape of the committee meeting.

TDOT staff met with neighbors to discuss the project. Notice of the meeting came via pieces of paper taped to mailboxes in the immediate area. This writer protested the lack of notice and gives thanks to the neighbor who phoned. Steve Borden, regional TDOT director, said, “We want to build a relationship� with the neighbors. It will be a Hatfield and McCoys relationship if you talk to residents of Greenway Drive. Greenway residents want a left-turn onto Broadway, and they packed the meeting room. Engineer Danny Oliver explained that nothing will change. Greenway is now and will remain a right-turn in and right-turn out intersection. “That’s a real inconvenience,�

Here’s how Elijah Davis has spent his first few weeks of summer vacation: He gets up at 6 a.m. to get ready for school. The Fulton High School honor student is enrolled in Project Grad’s Summer Institute at Pellissippi State’s Magnolia campus, a 20-minute bicycle ride from his East Knoxville home. He has classes in English, robotics and art. His mom works all day, so when he gets out of class at 1:30, he hops back on his bike and rides over to the Boys and Girls Club to spend the afternoon. On Tuesdays and Thursdays he pedals north to Fulton for wrestling practice at 5:30 and summer football workouts after that. At 9:30, he gets back on his bike and rides home. What does he do when it rains? “It hasn’t rained yet,� he said

that south-bound travelers now encounter when trying to merge onto Broadway from Tazewell Pike on the same ramp Broadway traffic is merging onto to access 640. “Both Broadway and Tazewell Pike will have its own lane onto 640,� said Qualls. Motorists should pay attention to signs during construction, she said. “We won’t shut down the roads, but there will be a lot of lane closures, most at night.� The project will include bike and pedestrian access on Old Broadway in cooperation with the city, and relocation of Dutch Valley Road at Old Broadway. Qualls said a progress update will be emailed every two weeks. Her contact info is Kristin. Qualls@tn.gov or 865-594-2408.

Miles away from the world ... in the backyard

community Clayton Park

From page A-1

By Carol Z. Shane When you step through the gate into Harold Duckett’s backyard garden you enter a soothing green world. A single set of wind chimes rings deep welcoming tones, stone paths wander, bamboo bends in the breeze.

Carol Shane Like any dedicated gardener, Harold Duckett isn’t afraid to get out there and dig.

Carol’s Corner When he and his wife, Beverly, moved here 35 years ago there was “nothing� in the yard, Duckett says. Years of work have resulted in a lush outdoor sanctuary. There’s a relaxing porch deck – home to a 50-year-old, robust Christmas cactus in a pot – a raised-bed vegetable and herb garden, an Asian moss garden, a koi pond, an expanse of dappled lawn bordered by witch hazel, regal lilies, Japanese and oak leaf hydrangea, winterberry, coral bells and others. There are rounded boulders, rock walls, an arbor with grape kiwis dangling from vines, a bench crafted from the root of a teak tree. “I’m just always on the lookout for stuff,� says Duckett, who is retired from a career in architecture. “One of my philosophies of gardening is that gardens should include big views and enclosed paths that you don’t immediately discover, like the path past the kiwi arbor. I also like tucking little surprise treasures into places that you really have to look for, like the Japanese Jack-in-the-pulpit.� His latest projects are a garden shed and butterflyroofed pergola, awaiting completion near the koi pond.

Fulton wrestler From page A-1 goal – $5,200 – plus an additional $170. The Davises were ecstatic, but they realize that this won’t cover include spending money for Elijah, nor plane fare for Tynesha to escort him as far as Los Angeles, so they’re still scrambling. Elijah has an active gofundme page (gofundme.com/elitnwrestling), and they had another fundraiser last week. Elijah started wrestling in middle school, placed third in his weight class in the regionals and went to the state tournament this year, as a freshman. When the invitation letter came, Tynesha asked if he really wanted to do it. “He said, ‘Australia? Of course.’� She was shocked at the price tag, and suggested they sleep on it. “We didn’t want to be hasty, but once I paid the

Sandy Cates and Michelle Wilson set out lunch for a HBPA board meeting picnic.

Beverly Duckett’s great aunt made this fanciful house from a concrete block. It occupies a special place in the shade garden. Duckett is well-known to fans of the Knoxville arts scene as a critic for the daily newspaper. In 1981, he attended a reception for the newly-opened Shriver’s Men’s Clothing store as the architect; also present was the music critic from the French newspaper, Le Monde, who attempted to identify the composer of a piece being played by a string quartet at the gathering. Duckett’s conflicting identification, however, proved to be the correct one. The editor of the Knoxville Journal overheard him and hired him the next day. “I said, ‘well, I’m an architect, not a music critic,’� but Duckett has continued to write in that capacity for 36 years. He says music “saved my life� growing up in dif-

ficult circumstances. He’s philosophical about the similarities between architecture and music. “Schopenhauer said, ‘arRetired architect and active newspaper arts chitecture is critic Harold Duckett in his Asian garden. frozen music.’ Photos by Carol Z.

$300 registration fee to secure his place, I said ‘Son, you’re going. We don’t have $300 to waste.’ We’ve worked very hard so he would be able to go.� Tynesha started reaching out to her extended family, and her mother, Yvonne Davis, shared the information with her minister, Pastor Johnny Reid of Wilder Missionary Baptist Church. Tynesha talked to her pastor, Phillip Hamilton Sr. at Children of God Ministries, and to the Rev. James Davis at Eternal Life Ministry. Tynesha is very grateful to Davis and his congregation for their generous early do-

nations, which helped secure a matching grant on May 1 from DownUnder Sports. She’s also grateful to the Fulton High School Alumni Association, which donated $1,000, not including a bunch of pancake breakfast tickets purchased by individual members. She said she’d love to thank Corinne Crawford, who also gave $1,000, but she doesn’t know how to find her, and she’s deeply touched by a gift from “8 Lives On,� a foundation run by Ukennia Arinze, whose six-year-old daughter Zykia Burns was one of the children killed in the tragic school bus collision on Ashe-

ville Highway in 2014. And there are too many more to single out by name. The Summer Institute classes are done June 17, so Elijah will have some time to think about the adventure that’s before him. He’s looking forward to seeing some kangaroos, and he’s excited about a three-day visit to Hawaii on the way back. Like his mother, Elijah is grateful to all the people who have helped him. “Tell them thank you, and I appreciate that they would give money out of their paychecks to help me go somewhere and do something to help me grow.�

The trail in Clayton Park will connect via Norris Freeway/Emory Road and land donated by the developers of the new Walmart, to Andersonville Pike and Halls Elementary School. That’s already funded, mostly built and ready to be finished when TDOT completes work on Norris Freeway. The next project is connecting Clayton Park with Halls Community Park, the Halls Branch Library and the Halls Senior Center via a trail under Hwy. 33 along

Beaver Creek. With roadwork underway, now is the perfect time to get that greenway established. You may never step on a greenway, but this is important. Business growth and enhanced real estate values depend on a community’s quality of life. Halls is second only to Farragut in recreational opportunities and walking trails. And Farragut is supported by a town government committed to these improvements. Halls Ahead is just us – and that’s the way we like it.

Joe Pratt and Pam Johnson (sitting) are joined by Travis Woody and Carl Tindell at one of the many benches in Clayton Park.

Happy 100!

Chloe Harrington will turn 100 years old on Saturday, June 18. Her family and friends are hosting a reception from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. in Wesley Hall at Fountain City United Methodist Church on that day. Son Charles says, “Mom is amazing as she is making her dress to wear. She uses an iPad, still paints, knits hats for children with cancer and reads books regularly.�

Football ahead: Remember Tennessee-Florida 2004 By royal decree, there are no off days from fretting about Florida. Here’s how it is, folks. The door to Atlanta is secured with lots of locks. The Gators hold one of the keys. The Vols will almost certainly fail to reach the SEC championship opportunity if they don’t stop the streak. Every day, even three months out, is the correct time to keep that in mind. Florida has won 11 in a row. Tennessee was last triumphant in 2004. Think about it. Thousands of little children have no concept of a Vol victory in what should be spirited, relatively even competition. On some of those sad Saturdays the Gators were clearly superior. Other times, Vol blunders were pivotal. There were routs

Marvin West

and a few squeakers. Details be damned, the net results are bad if not shameful. A great philosopher, in this case UT receiver coach Zach Azzanni, said “It is what it is.� Zach said what we all see, that it hasn’t been much of a rivalry lately, that the Gators have had their way time after time. Zach also said the Vols are doing everything they can to change that. Let us never forget 2004. That was a landmark Vol victory, made better be-

cause the losers suffered anguish, even bitterness. Florida broke a 21 tie with an 81-yard pass and run with eight minutes remaining. Tennessee countered with an 11-play drive, capped by an Erik Ainge pass to Jayson Swain. Heaven help us, James Wilhoit missed the tying extra point. Florida, up 28-27, was attempting to run out the clock. After third down, where the Vols got a stop, receiver Dallas Baker and defender Jonathan Wade entered into an altercation. Gators said Wade started it with a head slap. Baker responded in kind. Official Bobby Moreau saw the second blow and assessed 15 yards for unsportsmanlike conduct. The clock was stopped

with 55 seconds remaining. By the grace of God, officials forgot to restart it. Florida punted. Tennessee got close enough for Wilhoit’s redemption, a 50-yard field goal to win with a few seconds to spare. After much yelling and screaming about cheating and foul play and unforgivable official blindness, Florida received a mid-week apology from the SEC office. That really helped. Joy has since been scarce. In 2005, Jonathan Hefney fumbled a punt. Florida won. Chris Leak, who initially committed to UT before choosing the Gators, said Peyton Manning helped him win the 2006 game. Leak attended the Manning summer camp. Peyton answered a thousand questions.

Other Vols contributed to that setback. Tennessee was minus-11 yards rushing. Tennessee fans thought the 59-20 disaster in 2007 symbolized approaching mediocrity. What Florida saw was Tim Tebow rushing for two touchdowns and throwing for two. While you weren’t looking, Cam Newton produced a late TD. Obviously, that was before the laptop incident and his migration. The Gators scored 17 in the first quarter in 2008. Game over. Lane Kiffin promised to sing Rocky Top “all night long� after his Vols whipped the Gators in Gainesville in 2009. Urban Meyer was properly provoked. He wanted to win by 75 but prevailed only by 10. CBS chose Kiffin for the postgame in-

terview. Urban was doubleticked. Derek Dooley did nothing to change the trend. Butch Jones said the 10-9 loss in 2014 “was probably the lowest moment in my career.� Last season might have been second lowest. The Vols, up by 13 with five minutes to go, completely, totally and utterly unraveled. The Gators converted three fourth downs and won a shocker, 28-27. The winning play, a 63-yard touchdown pass, came on fourth and 13. That may have been when the Bob Shoop idea germinated. There you have 11 compelling reasons for no time off from fretting about Florida. Need I say more? Marvin West welcomes your views. His address is westwest@netzero.com

For planning to stick, communities must step up Like most responsible adults, my life is crazy, so I start my day with a prioritized list. In theory, this keeps me from getting distracted and spending all day watching “Parks and Recreation.� Planning is important. If we think things through ahead of time, we’re less likely to make rash decisions and more likely to achieve our goals. Last week, the updated Northwest County Sector Plan went before the Knoxville-Knox County Metropolitan Planning Commission for approval. This document, which was last updated 12 years ago, will guide development in the sector that 30 percent of Knox County residents call home. Karns, Ball Camp, Am-

Wendy Smith

herst, Cedar Bluff, Hardin Valley and Solway areas are included in the northwest sector. MPC staff, led by senior planner Liz Albertson, has been collecting feedback for the update since fall of 2014. Several community meetings were hosted and 476 surveys were completed. If your eyelids are getting heavy, resist the urge to reach for the remote, because this is what you need to know: by 2025, population in the northwest sector is projected to rise by

10,000 to 17,000. And you thought traffic on Hardin Valley Road was bad now! If the end goal is to retain the “small town feeling� that’s so valued in communities like Karns, now is the time to think things through, and that’s what the plan does. It recommends certain types of development in particular areas (mixed-use special districts), like the Solway Corridor. It recommends creation of a Scenic and Highway Corridor Overlay District that would allow communities to establish guidelines for new development, like architectural design and sign regulations. It also recommends new zoning districts that could protect farmland and rural landscapes, like conserva-

tion subdivisions that cluster residences on smaller lots to protect open space or sensitive natural resources. The updated plan is available at www.knoxmpc. org/sector-plans. Now comes the hard part − sticking to the plan. Historically, all it takes is a developer with a grand idea for a plan to be amended. That’s why citizens need to get, and stay, involved. “When communities become involved, there’s more of a chance for these things to stick,� says Albertson. She calls Bearden a success story because residents envisioned a future for their community and have steadfastly pursued it. The road has been, and will be, bumpy at times, but they are on a clear path.

Sticking to a plan is hard. Scrutinizing development and delaying potential tax revenue is hard. After all, roads will have to be improved to accommodate all those new residents. Progress doesn’t come cheap. At the same time, if we value things like “small town feeling,� scenic landscapes and walkability, that’s what we’ll have to

do. And it will require us to talk to neighbors, email our elected officials and speak up at meetings. Approval of the updated Northwest County Sector Plan was postponed for a month because one developer said he hadn’t seen it yet, even though it’s been available online for two months. Let’s not let developers be in control of planning.

Will Sanders supporters turn out when Bernie’s not on the ballot? Could there be a more thankless job than chair of the Knox County Democratic Party? There are no Democratic countywide officeholders. Republicans control all but two seats on the 11-member County Commission. But Democratic Party chair Cameron Brooks has made it his personal mission not to allow Republicans to run unopposed for commission, so he took on the Sisyphean task of recruiting candidates. And he has been, relative to other years, quite successful. This year, six credible Democrats will contend for commission seats in the August general election. But here’s the rub. Brooks is like the unlucky guy the gods condemned to spend an eternity rolling the boulder up the hill – for all his herculean efforts, even those last two Democratic-controlled seats could be in jeopardy. In the first district, which is traditionally African-American and reliably Democratic, the question seems to be will Bernie Sanders supporters show up to vote in an election when their guy’s not on the ballot? Will they come back and vote for the candidate they put on the ballot? Community activist Rick Staples was considered the district favorite in the primary, but finished with 200 votes less than educator Evelyn Gill, and a precinct-by-precinct analysis

Betty Bean showed that Gill’s successes mirrored those of Sanders. Election Commission boss Cliff Rodgers observed that a crowd of new voters, many of whom were wearing Sanders gear, showed up to sign up on the last day of voter registration. The precincts on the fringes of the district were feeling the Bern and supported Gill. The traditional wards in the center of the district went for Hillary Clinton and Staples. There is such intense dissatisfaction with the primary outcome among Staples’ supporters that they want to run a write-in campaign. The deadline to get that started is June 15, and Staples is being urged by Democrats not to do it. And the turmoil begs a question: If Staples supporters don’t vote for the Democratic nominee, and Sanders supporters don’t show up, who’s left? Republican Michael Covington, who got nearly 1,000 votes in the primary and is so deeply conservative he has said he supports repealing the Voting Rights Act. That’s who. Will Gill, a candidate with an outstanding record of professional and educational achievement, be able

Democratic candidates Evelyn Gill and state Rep. Joe Armstrong prepare to canvass East Knoxville with supporters of Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton. to bring Sanders and Clinton supporters together? A joint Sanders/Clinton canvassing event two weeks ago is a step in that direction.

A qualified apology to Dunn Looks like we owe state Rep. Bill Dunn a qualified apology. Dunn registered a complaint about a Shopper News story that quoted school board member Amber Rountree saying this: “When Bill Dunn was trying to push his voucher bill through, saying he had a letter from the school board, when in reality it was a letter from (board chair) Doug Harris. The majority of the board did not support Dunn’s bill.� Dunn complained, accurately, that he said the letter was from the board chair when he presented his

voucher bill to the Finance Ways and Means Committee. And he is correct. He did not say the letter was from the board as a whole. But that doesn’t tell the whole story. He mentioned the letter from Harris after Memphis Rep. Larry Miller essentially invited Dunn to butt out of his district: “When you have an elected school board, and when they come and say, ‘We are opposed to this for so many various reasons,’ then I have to listen to that.� Dunn failed to mention that Harris does not have the support of the Knox County Board of Education, a gap that Rep. Joe Armstrong filled in later in the discussion. The bill, which (for now) applies only to certain schools in Memphis, passed in committee but ultimately failed for lack of support.

Anders glides through debate with Lucas Knox County Commissioner Brad Anders showed poise during a joint appearance with his Democratic challenger, Donna Lucas, at the Karns Community Brad Anders Club. Community Club president Don Gordon just introduced the two and walked away, leading to Lucas speaking first with no questions and Anders speaking next with multiple q ue s t ion s , i ncluding several from Lucas. The challenger centered her attacks on Donna Lucas three issues: term limits, the safety center and the E-911 radio contract. Anders is vulnerable on two, perhaps all three. The incumbent coun-

Sandra Clark

tered with his leadership on Knox County Commission and listed several community improvements. Former Commissioner R. Larry Smith was led to observe that Anders had scored more capital money for his district than any other commissioner, including Smith himself. We’ve put $100 million additional funds into education, $14 million into law enforcement and paid down debt – all without a property tax increase, said Anders. “We’ve got a new middle school coming to Hardin Valley, we opened the Karns Senior Center, Karns got a mile of new sidewalk around the elementary school and a new recycling center, and we have only two empty buildings in Westbridge (business park). “All that was made pos-

sible by my leadership. It speaks for itself.â€? Lucas cast Anders as an out-of-touch commissioner who is disregarding term limits and does not return phone calls. She moved to Karns after a 40-year business career. She said her first impression of Knox County Commission was one of “pale, stale males.â€? She said the commission needs youth, new ideas, new energy and “people who understand the Internet.â€? Term limits: Lucas says commissioners are term-limited after eight years (two terms), yet Anders is running for years 9, 10, 11 and 12. “I will respect the will of the voters ‌ eight and out.â€? Anders said voters in a subsequent election clarified term limits to exclude partial terms. He said he served a partial term of two years and a full term of six years (six rather than four to enable staggered terms). Therefore it’s legal for him to seek re-election in 2016. Safety Center: It’s a short-time facility re-

quested by Sheriff Jimmy “J.J.â€? Jones and advocated by Mayor Tim Burchett to house possibly mentally ill law-breakers for treatment, rather than incarcerating them. Lucas says we’ve talked about it long enough. The facility is needed and should be built. Anders says the center’s role must be defined and its operational expenses covered. But the big question is after-care. “We have a 12-bed crisis center now, ‌ and the state pays transportation to (and treatment for long-term mentally ill at) Moccasin Bend in Chattanooga.â€? E-911 Radio Contract: Lucas says Anders’ failure to vote on a new contract (he’s a member of the E-911 board) left Knox County without a new system. She suggested the contract wrangling was political. Anders countered that “the system we have works,â€? and Knox County will soon join a collaborative system which will build a master site here.

government The Corker factor What happens if Sen. Bob Corker is Donald Trump’s vice presidential choice? He will strengthen the ticket and bring a foreign policy perspective currently missing. He would be a solid choice for Trump. If a Trump-Corker ticket prevails, in Tennessee it opens up a Senate seat. Even if Corker is not on the ticket, he might be a cabinet choice if Trump wins, which also opens up the Senate seat. If a seat opens, Gov. Bill Haslam will name a new senator to replace Corker who must resign by Jan. 20, 2017, to become VP or later if he is a new Cabinet choice. The non-elected, Haslam-appointed senator would serve until November 2018, when a new senator is elected for the remaining few weeks in that term plus a new sixyear term. (Corker’s current term expires January 2019). Would Haslam himself be interested in the appointment? I think it is unlikely (and a mistake) Haslam would name himself to the seat as the fate of governors who have appointed themselves is dismal when it comes to winning a full term. Voters do not like it. In fact, a governor’s choice often faces difficulties getting elected. Governors who appoint themselves usually lose at the next election. Often the appointed senator is simply a placeholder who does not seek a full term. The last two senators appointed from Tennessee were Hub Walters of Morristown to follow Estes Kefauver after his death in 1963 and Harlan Mathews of Nashville to follow Vice President Al Gore in 1993, and both opted not to run for the office. Who would be on the list of Republicans who might be picked for the 21-month Senate but not seek a full term? That list is truly long. There will be endless discussion and jockeying for the appointment should Corker resign. Haslam could name the first woman senator for Tennessee such as U.S. Reps. Diane Black or Marsha Blackburn. Such an appointment might remove a significant contender from the governor’s race in 2018. He could name U.S. Rep. Jim Duncan, allowing him to conclude 30 years of federal service as a U.S. senator. If Haslam names any sitting member of Congress, it will trigger a special election for that seat within 100 days. Some of the current potential candidates for

Victor Ashe

governor might alter their plans and run for the open U.S. Senate seat instead. We will know in six weeks Trump’s VP choice. ■Candidates going door-to-door never know who might answer, and for state Rep. Martin Daniel a few days ago an unexpected person answered his door ring. He was walking Forest Brook Road in West Knoxville with his 10-year-old daughter, Sophie. First Lady Crissy Haslam answered the door as she was visiting her daughter, Leigh Avery, and her newest grandson, Hayes Avery (then a week old). Daniel’s daughter had never met Haslam and handed her a brochure for her dad. When told the woman answering the door was the First Lady of Tennessee, Sophie said, “That’s cool.� ■The next meeting of the UT Board of Trustees is in Knoxville a week from now (June 22-23). Chancellor Cheek is most likely to announce his retirement then, if he retires this year. This writer has asked Margie Nichols, the chancellor’s spokesperson, for a comment from Cheek on his plans. Cheek simply has not responded to media inquiries. Cheek could end the speculation by saying he has no plans to depart. That has not happened, which increases rumors he may leave. Stay tuned. If he is leaving, there is no doubt in my mind that he has already informed UT President Joe DiPietro, to whom he reports, and key board members, but the announcement will be at the board meeting. ■Greg MacKay, hired by Mayor Rogero to replace Bob Polk to run the coliseum and Chilhowee Park, will be running Chilhowee Park only after July 1. Mary Bogart will lead the entire SMG management team for the convention center, coliseum and Chilhowee Park. She currently runs the convention center. MacKay will be off the city payroll. ■At City Council, for the first time in 30 years, both the mayor and vice mayor were absent on June 7. Rogero was in China and Duane Grieve was in Texas for the birth of his first granddaughter, Raegan Elise Robinson. Council elected an interim presiding officer, Nick Pavlis.

Anna Freshour, customer counselor with KUB, stopped by the Community Center in Powell to talk with the senior adults gathered on a recent Thursday. Freshour gave tips on how to manage a utility bill and simple steps to save money. She explained that heating and air conditioning represents approximately 44 percent of the energy consumption in a home, followed by appliances and lighting using 38 percent and water heating at about 18 percent. Her tips were simple and mainly basic habits that individuals should practice. Tip one: turn off the lights when leaving a room. This sounds like

a simple tip, but continuing the practice will help save on energy bills. Tip two was to wash clothes in cold water. Another money saving tip is to do full loads of laundry or change the load size when washing smaller loads. Keeping the thermostat as high in the summer and as low in the winter as comfortably possible will save energy. Recommended temperature in the summer is 78 degrees or 68 degrees in the winter. Freshour suggested adjusting the temperature one degree a day so individuals don’t feel the change as drastically. She also suggested using ceiling fans to help circulate air in the home and adjusting temperatures when on vacation.

Making sure that nothing blocks air vents is a simple, yet important tip. Close vents in rooms that aren’t regularly used and close the doors to those rooms. Sealing air leaks around doors and windows will keep indoor air from escaping. Other helpful tips include replacing old incandescent light bulbs that burn out with LED bulbs, using a power strip for electronics and turning the strip off when not in use, turning off water when brushing teeth, closing curtains/blinds when necessary during the summer to keep rooms cool, and installing low-flow shower heads in the bathroom.

Worthless things Thus says the Lord: What wrong did your ancestors find in me that they went far from me, and went after worthless things, and became worthless themselves? (Jeremiah 2: 5 NRSV) Leave it to the prophet Jeremiah to get right to the heart of things! And he was, indeed, talking about things! Apparently, it has always been an issue: we humans are into things. We love our toys, our status symbols, our belongings and our stuff! We love our stuff so much that we forget what is really important. When I was a child, maybe 8 or so, I said, out loud, “I love cinnamon rolls!� A family friend heard my comment and corrected me. She said, “A cinnamon roll can’t love you back. You like cinnamon rolls; you love people!� It is a distinction I have never forgotten! And it applies just as aptly to all of our stuff. Ask the people all over the coastal South right now who are trying to muck out their flooded houses. The news person asks the question (inane as it may be), “So how does it feel to have lost everything, to have all your belongings ruined?� Without exception, the answer is some form of “We are alive; that’s all that matters.� It is true: catastrophe focuses the mind. We discover the difference between things and lives. And, trust me on this, all the evidence in the world indicates that God loves people. God cares about lives. The God who notes a sparrow’s fall knows when you are hurting, when you are scared, when you think that you are alone. The truth is, of course, that you are never alone. God is with you, ready to help, to remind you of your worth in His eyes, to love you always.

Loving their neighbors, serving the Lord Several years ago, a group of women at Beaver Dam Baptist Church met for a Bible study led by Jen Hatmaker. The study, “7,� led the group through purging their lives of excess, and from the study came the ministry called Purge, which is now called Love Local. The group’s mission, in addition to cleaning out excess from their lives, was to assist people in the community near the church. The church hosted a Purge garage sale to help purchase food and other items. The project first assisted a famSeth Blankenship decorates ily in the church and grew a bag as part of the Love to ministering families at Local ministry at Beaver Adrian Burnett Elementary.

at the school and providing food for families during the school year. Then the project grew to providing food during the summer months, as well as handing out backpacks filled with school supplies at the beginning of the school year. During Vacation Bible School, families brought food items, bottled water and snacks and presented them at the altar for Love Local. The children had decorated bags for the project during craft time. What began with assisting a church family has grown more than anyone could have imagined. Now the ministry has helped more than 90 children.

CHAPTER ELEVEN: Story So Far: S.O.R.’s special soccer team has yet to win a game, but the final match of the season looms. I was sitting in class trying to follow the math teacher, who was working out a problem on the board. Looking down, I discovered a folded piece of paper on my desk with my name on it. A passed note. I looked at Saltz. He shrugged. Propping up my math book to hide my hands, I carefully unfolded the note. It read: Meet me after lunch by the downstairs dump bins. Lucy I slammed my elbow into Saltz and palmed the note to him. He looked at it and turned all red. I tried to squirm around to look at Lucy, but all I got was the math teacher saying, “Ed, you need to know this math. It might help your team add some goals.� Big yuks. Anyway, all during the first part of lunch hour, Saltz and I had a serious discussion

We become famous

about Lucy Neblet. As we stuffed bad caf“Just wanted to know.� eteria food in our mouths, the talk went “So nosy.� something like this: “You like her?� Saltz: “What do you think?� “Who?� “You know.� “I don’t know. I am working on that history project with her.� “No, I don’t.� “Do too.� “What’s that supposed to mean?� “Doesn’t mean anything.� “What’s it to “Did you ever see her sister?� you?� “Curious.� “Whose sister?� “Lucy’s.� “Why, do you?� “Me, what?� “Yeah.� “Well?� “I just said.� “Well what?� “No way.� “Just, well.� “You used to.� “That’s all you think about.� “You’re crazy.� “I wasn’t thinking about anything.� “So you do like “Yes, you were.� her.� “How do you know?� “Maybe.� “Think she “I know.� “I wasn’t.� likes you?� “Then how come you asked?� “Don’t know.� “Someone once told me if she winks at you, that means she does.� “Who told you?� “What’s the difference?� “I’m going.� “Tell me what she said.� “She hasn’t said anything yet.� “Watch her eyes.� “I’ll try.� I told the teacher on lunchroom duty that I had to go to the boys’ room. Instead I went downstairs, my heart beating, my head thinking, “This is it,� except, I had no idea what “it� was. At the back of the stairwell were these big garbage bins. The place stank. It was dark and mysterious. There was Lucy, perky and pretty. “Hi,� I said. “Hi,� she returned. That was all until I said, “What’s happening?� “You’re captain of the special soccer team, aren’t you?� She was whispering, as if we were about to pass secrets to a foreign power. “Yeah,� I said to her question. Don’t ask me why, but I whispered too. “Well,� she continued, “I just thought I’d tell you . . .� She stopped. “Tell me what?� Her eyes were cast down. “I’m sorry you’re losing.� “What?� She looked up.

ME: Just this one. NEWSPAPER: Do you want to win? ME: For the novelty. NEWSPAPER: Have you figured out why you lose all the time? ME: They score more goals. NEWSPAPER: Have you seen any improvements? ME: I’ve been too busy trying to stop their goals. Ha-ha. NEWSPAPER: From the scores, it doesn’t seem like you’ve been too successful. ME: You can imagine what the scores would have been if I wasn’t there. Actually, I’m the tallest. NEWSPAPER: What’s that have to do with it? ME: Ask Mr. Lester. NEWSPAPER: No S.O.R. team has ever lost all its games in one season. How do you feel about that record? ME: Records are made to be broken. NEWSPAPER: But how will you feel? ME: Tall. NEWSPAPER: Give us a prediction. Will you win or lose your last game? ME: As captain, I can promise only one thing. NEWSPAPER: What’s that? ME: I don’t want to be there to see what happens. Naturally, they printed all that. Next thing I knew, some kids decided to hold a pep rally. “What for?� asked Radosh. “To fill us full of pep, I suppose.� “What’s pep?� Hays looked it up. “Dash,� he read. Saltz shook his head. “What’s dash?� asked Porter. “Sounds like a deodorant soap,� said Eliscue. Ms. Appleton called me aside. “Ed,� she said, whispering (I guess she was embarrassed to be seen talking to any of us), “people are asking, ‘Do they want to lose?’� “Who’s asking?� “It came up at the last teachers’ meeting. Mr. Tillman thinks you might be encouraging a defeatist attitude in the school. And Mr. Lester —� “Ms. Appleton,� I said, “why do people care if we win or lose?� “It’s your . . . attitude,� she said. “It’s so unusual. We’re not used to . . . well . . . not winning sometimes. Or . . . or not caring about losing.� “Think there’s something the matter with us?� “No,� she said, but when you say “no� the way she did, slowly, there’s lots of time to sneak in a lot of “yes.� “I don’t think you mean to lose.� “That’s not what I asked.� “It’s important to win,� she said. “Why? We’re good at other things. Why can’t we stick with that?� All she said was, “Ed, your last game is coming. Just try harder.� Later, I said to Saltz, “Maybe we should defect.� “Where?� “Must be some country that doesn’t have sports.� I sighed. “They’ve stopped sending people to the moon.� (To be continued.)

Camp Invention: Sharing bright ideas Students from Beaumont, Shannondale, Garden Montessori, Ritta, Beardan and Webb School gathered at Shannondale Elementary last week to use team work and lots of brain power to create inventions and learn the benefits of using STEM skills

such as science, technology, engineering and math. During the weeklong camp, the students created a theme park in a rain forest, used solar power to move crickobots, demolished structures while learning about different forces, cre-

Ruth White

ated slime and took apart electronics to assemble them into other creations. Shannondale’s STEM teacher April Lamb led the camp, and instructors helped the students think through and complete tasks individually and in groups.

Abby Lett shows the plans for the theme park her group designed during Camp Invention.

Shaun Watson, Yuma Livesay and Braden Walker put their heads together and work on a plan to build a treehouse at Camp Invention. Photos by R. White Lyla Hager shows the treehouse that her team created during a workshop.

Virtual Academy to expand By Sandra Clark The Tennessee Virtual Academy, an online school for grades K-8 administered by Union C o u n t y P u b l i c Schools, is enrolling for the Jimmy Carter u p c o m i n g school year. UCPS Director of Schools Dr. Jimmy Carter said he received permission to open enrollment from Dr. Candice McQueen, state commissioner of education. New enrollment had been suspended for two years after former Commissioner Kevin Huffman attempted to close the school. “We were down to about 350 students (for the upcoming school year), but now expect to enroll 800,� Carter said. “I’ve capped enrollment at 1,000.�

The Virtual Academy is treated as another Union County school by state officials, and the county receives the state’s usual per-pupil allocation for each enrollee. UCPS then contracts with K-12 Inc. to operate the program. UCPS retains a percent of the revenue for administrative overhead. Opponents say the Virtual Academy lacks accountability and diverts public funds to a private corporation. Even with diminished enrollment, Union County financial records show income of $1,041,818 per month for four months (February-May) of 2015 and income of $665,577 per month for six months (August 2015-January 2016), or a total of $8.16 million. That number will climb with increased enrollment. Parents say the school works well for kids who encounter physical or so-

cial challenges in a regular school. It also works for kids who travel with parents or those who miss school for medical treatment. K12 says TNVA offers state-certified teachers using superior teaching tools, all provided free of charge to participating families. A parent or other responsible adult serves as a “learning coach� to the child. In addition to providing individualized learning, TNVA provides the structure, administrative support, oversight, accountability and testing required of all public schools. Carter said students will have three comprehensive tests: one at the beginning of the school year to establish a baseline; another at midyear to establish progress; and the final exams given to all Tennessee students. The final will be monitored and administered independently of parents or coaches. Info: tnva.k12.com

News from The Pointe at Lifespring

Caring for a loved one with dementia By Shana Robertson Caring for a loved one who has Alzheimer’s Disease or another form of dementia requires an abundance of love, patience and knowledge. There can be obstacles along the way to discourage and dismantle even the best laid plans and overwhelm Robertson even the strongest of caregivers. Here are some basic tips to prepare you for the journey ahead: ■ Join your loved one in their reality, rather than requiring them to live in yours. Being a primary caregiver can feel very sacrificial. We sacrifice, with love and compassion, our realities of a normal day-to-day (and often sleepless nights!) way of life.

■ It is the disease, not the person. For example, if you observe your wife or mother, who was perhaps a Sunday school teacher and often hosted fabulous gatherings that reflected her sweet social graces, to be uttering the foulest of obscenities or lashing out personal verbal or physical attacks with reckless abandon, remember – it’s not her! It’s the disease she is fighting against. The disease has damaged and depleted the area of her brain that would otherwise control impulses, angry and inappropriate outbursts, and other socially unacceptable behaviors. Don’t take these experiences personally, as this will lead to resentment, feeling burdened, and eventually, emotional exhaustion. ■ Success comes in moments – celebrate them! As a caregiver, you have already learned that nothing

is for certain. Plans and moods can change quickly. What was once considered to be a day-to-day management approach can soon become an hour-by-hour vigil. For instance, when you are helping your dad shave, and he suddenly takes over and finishes the job, that is every reason to celebrate the moment, giving him encouraging compliments. Perhaps, occasionally, you catch a glimmer of recognition in the eyes of the man you married – receive it as his way of telling you how much he loves you and appreciates your continued devotion. Celebrate this special moment with him and in your heart. The mind of someone with Alzheimer’s Disease is clouded with road blocks, detour signs with no arrows for direction, and a constant 5 p.m. traffic jam. If there are positive outcomes in a day, that means your loved one is

need to be diagnosed and treated quickly. Left untreated it can result in hospitalization and an overall decline in health. Caregiving is an honor, but also a labor of love that can have a negative impact on your health and quality of life. If a time comes when you feel that caring for a loved one is beyond what you can do effectively, and remain balanced emotionally and physically yourself, it may be time to consider a memory care program. Memory care programs offer a care staff that has been specially trained in all aspects of Alzheimer’s and dementia-care concepts. Programs and staffing vary from location to location, so it is best to research to find the best fit for your loved one.

fighting to do the best he or she can to function normally and you have helped that person succeed. Celebrate! On a clinical note, if and when your loved one seems agitated, fi xated, anxious, angry or just down right belligerent and combative, consider the following as possible causes: Has there been a recent medication change? Is she sleep deprived? Is there an obvious source of pain on or in her body that you hadn’t noticed? Be sure to check feet and gums if she wears dentures. Is she hungry or thirsty? Could she be constipated? Is her urine dark or smelly? Is she leaning to one side, has decreased appetite, or seems to have a low-grade temperature? These are all the symptoms of a urinary tract infection. Urinary tract infections

New coffee, juice shops on Broadway By J.J. Stambaugh Mark Fawaz says that he’s hoping to spread the word of better living through organic foods with two newly opened North Knoxville businesses: The Juice Box and The Artistic Bean. Located at the southeast corner of Broadway and Glenwood Avenue, the shops are a mixture of Fawaz’s belief in an organic, health-oriented lifestyle and his desire to succeed as a businessman. “I started juicing at home and it was amazing,� Fawaz said. “What we eat really affects our health .... Nobody really knows what’s good for them anymore. People are tired of feeling sick, and the way to be healthy is to eat better foods.� Fawaz explained that his road to Knoxville started halfway across the globe. Born into a Lebanese family in Africa, he graduated from high school in Nigeria and ended up coming to the United States with his family. He moved to Knoxville in 2000 to study chemical engineering at the University of Tennessee, eventually earning a degree in the field he was encouraged to pursue by his father, Tiger

Fawaz. “My dad was very oldschool,� he said. “I always wanted to do business, but he said that anybody on the street could do business on the streets, so I needed to study engineering instead.� Fawaz explained that after his father passed away from cancer in 2011, the younger Fawaz developed a strong interest in how nutrition contributes to healthy lifestyles. After struggling for years to come up with the funds and researching juice bars in other cities, he finally opened his first shop, called The Juice Box, last year in Alcoa. Fawaz said he opened the second Juice Box in North Knoxville in April and its neighbor, The Artistic Bean, a month later. The shops focus on giving customers a wide range of organic fare that includes coffee brewed from store-ground beans and smoothies made from cold-pressed fruits. “With the cold-pressed juices, your body absorbs a lot of nutrients that you don’t get by just eating food,� he said. He pointed out that people can easily buy a fast-food cheeseburger for the price of a high-end smoothie, but a

growing number of consumers are asking themselves hard questions about their diets. “We have a lot of excited customers, but it’s not for everybody,� he said. Fawaz estimated that half of his business comes from people wanting to “cleanse� their bodies, which means going to an all-juice diet for several days or weeks. “It’s a good way to kickstart your body,� he said. “It helps your digestion, gives you more energy, helps with your blood sugar .... It’s like lubricating your body.� The decision to branch out into coffee came about when he visited The Artistic Bean in Townsend. He ended up buying the rights to the name and says he maintains the same high standards that made the original coffee shop a success. “When I went there the first time, I was just blown away. It was the best coffee I’d ever had,� he said. “I didn’t want to open just another coffee shop. ... People really seem to love their coffee here.� Juice Box employee Gabriella Muglia said she once managed a screen printing shop in West Knoxville but is much happier working at

Fawaz’s juice bar because of the opportunities it gives her to meet like-minded people. “It’s like there’s a filter at the door and only friendly, positive people come through it,� she said. Johnny Manning spends his workdays whipping up espressos and other beverages just a few yards down the sidewalk from The Artistic Bean. He echoed Muglia’s impression of their customer base, many of whom like to stick around and chat while sipping cups of espresso or other concoctions. “I just love all the aspects of it,� Manning said. “I like getting coffee lovers a good cup of coffee.� Fawaz said he wants to continue creating businesses, and construction has already begun on his latest venture, a hookah bar in the Old City that will remain open after the neighborhood’s nightclubs close their doors at 3 a.m. Info: www.theartistic bean.com, www.juiceboxtn. com

M a n y R o t a r y clubs recognize and honor non-Rotarians who are doing great things in their communities. These people are known as “Shining Lights,� and the Ro- Mike Kitchens Suzy Kitchens tary Club of Farragut recently presented its 2016 Shining Light Award to husband-wife team of Mike and Suzy Kitchens. They work daily to improve the lives of our disabled veterans through the organization they founded in their living room five years ago – the Smoky Mountain Service Dogs (SMSD). Mike and Suzy, their band of dedicated volunteers, and three trainers work to train service dogs to assist veterans with varying disabilities within a 350-mile radius of Knoxville. These dogs help the veterans in a number of ways. Each dog is specifically trained to match the needs of the individual veteran. These are not seeing-eye dogs. They open doors, can pick up a credit card off the floor (along with many other things) and help the vets manage steps. To date, SMSD has paired service dogs with 16 veterans. They received non-profit status in early 2011 and began training dogs in 2011 at their Loudon County facility. Mike says it takes two years and 1,500 to 1,800 hours to get a dog ready. The cost to train one dog is $25,000. They have only three paid employees – the dog trainers. This year they graduated three teams in the first quarter and expect to match/place six or seven more dogs this year. “This Shining Light Award IS very special because when you have your nose to the grindstone, you can sometimes forget the importance of what you are doing and the impact on the people you serve,� Suzy, the organization’s first board chair, said. “So to be recognized by a wonderful organization such as Rotary for your personal contribution is very much an honor.� Christina Paris: The Rotary Club of Knoxville Foundation has presented Bearden High graduate Christina Paris the Sam and Carol Weaver $20,000 scholarship to attend Georgia Tech. She’ll receive $2,500 per semester for eight semesters and must be making progress toward her degree the whole time. She will study mechanical or industrial engineering at Georgia Tech. This summer she will attend a threeweek seminar at the Google offices in Cambridge, Mass.

Cottrell at home on Market Square stage By Shannon Carey

Josh Cottrell performs on Market Square.

When Josh Cottrell took the stage on Knoxville’s Market Square June 9, it was “like coming full circle,� he said. Cottrell’s performance was part of the Concerts on the Square series, but the 24-year-old’s dream to be a musician was sparked by another concert series: Sundown in the City. Cottrell was 16, and Dave Barnes was playing. Cottrell begged his parents to let him go. But it was raining, a real Tennessee summer downpour. Cottrell said Barnes looked out at the drenched crowd and said, “You know what, it’s only water,� and launched into his hit, “Until You.� “The freedom he had onstage just kind of got to me,�

he said. “We were dancing in the rain to that song, and it just sparked the dream for me.� Cottrell grew up in a musical family, but he is the only one of his siblings to pursue it full time. Guitar is his primary instrument, although he also plays piano. While attending Halls High School, he was the highestplacing solo act in the CTE Idol competition. His first album, “Burning Bridges,� came out in 2012. His newest project, an EP titled “Life with You,� was released last week in conjunction with his Market Square appearance. What ended this fouryear hiatus? Marriage. Cottrell credits his wife, Megan, with encouraging him back into the performing world.

They celebrated their oneyear anniversary just last month. Megan works at Lincoln Memorial University in Harrogate, and the couple reside in Union County. “My wife is the most supportive person I know,� he said. “If it hadn’t been for my wife, I don’t think that we’d be having this conversation.� In fact, while Cottrell said “Burning Bridges� has a lot to do with teen angst, “Life with You� is about exactly what you’d think: his life with Megan. “This is my tribute to the person my wife is and the person she’s helped me to be,� he said. Cottrell takes his musical inspiration from the likes of Barnes, Jason Mraz and Ed Sherran. He calls his musical style folk or alternative with

a “relaxed vibe to the songs.� Another source of inspiration was Cottrell’s church, the north campus of Cokesbury United Methodist Church. There he got to share the stage with Eric Baker, who became a mentor figure for him. “I do attribute all my musical talent to be a gift from God, and I try to pursue God on a daily basis,� Cottrell said. “Life with You� is now live on iTunes, Amazon and Spotify, and Cottrell has a slate of performances scheduled for this summer, including gigs at the Marina at Twin Cove and a stage at the Smoky Mountains Songwriters Festival in Gatlinburg.

Before historic Powell Station ‌ Spangler to head VMC By Marvin West

Long before there was a historic Powell Station or even a need for one, there was considerable activity in this rustic part of the world. People were coming and going, afoot, on horseback and in wagons. A few were covered, just like in the movies. The most famous leftover landmark is the Alexander Bishop house, sometimes called the Donelson-Bishop house, at 7924 Bishop Road, not far as the crow flies from downtown Powell. Travelers actually get off I-75, follow their GPS along Emory Road and drive by to sneak a peek. I saw a car from Ohio just the other day. The house, one of the oldest in Knox County, was built in 1793 by pioneer Stockley Donelson, son of Col. John Donelson, cofounder of Nashville. Stockley’s sister Rachel became famous for her circuitous route to becoming Mrs. Andrew Jackson. The Donelson-Bishop house is in the National Register of Historic Places as an example of late 18thcentury architecture and for its role in the settlement of the region. This house is older than the state of Tennessee. Deep within the history of this place is a hint of intrigue or maybe even a few criminal thoughts.

This home on Bishop Road in Powell was built in 1793 by the brother of Rachel Jackson, wife of President Andrew Jackson. Stop me if you have heard this: Stockley Donelson lived there only three years. We think his to-be-famous brother-in-law was an occasional guest. Andy was in the area to participate in the statehood convention. Another delegate, Charles McClung, prominent in Knox County, purchased the house in 1796, kept it for 29 years and sold to Mrs. Charles Curd. She is buried on the grounds. Her family sold the house in 1856 to transplanted Virginian Alexander Bishop. He modernized it and covered the outside logs with clapboard but tastefully retained several features common to early frontier homes – fireplaces with stone foundations, boxed stairs and wide floorboards sawed from really big trees. At age 66, when he was old enough to know better, Bishop bought into the popular saying “Go West, young

man, go West.� You probably already know that the expression belonged to John Babsone Lane Soule, Terre Haute Express, 1851. Horace Greeley adjusted it to fit an editorial in the New York Tribune in 1865. The thought captured the imaginations of seemingly normal people. Adventure? Let’s go for it. Others believed anything new had to be better. Former soldiers joined the movement. A few gambling mercenaries jumped the line. Bishop went along. He gave the historic house to his son and moved to Texas. Bishop descendants have maintained the house through the years. Keep in mind that some of these were Powell people before there was Powell. The beginning of this story, the Donelsons, is a potential ending. Stockley’s

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

If mama ain’t happy … As an OB/GYN with Fort Sanders Women’s Specialists and Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center, Brooke Foulk, MD, treats women who are in every stage of life, from the first pap smear, through childbearing years into menopause and geriatric care. “You can develop strong relationships with women and their families, and you are there for some of the most exciting, emotional and important times in their lives,” Foulk says. But among all her patients there is one very common denominator. Women have a habit of putting themselves last in line when it comes to health and wellness. “We are the only ones who will look out for our own health and wellbeing,” Foulk says. “Yet, as women, we tend to put everyone and everything above our own needs.” No matter what else a woman may be involved in, she is often a caregiver by default. “A lot of us take care of our husbands, our children or our aging parents,” Foulk says. “We work, we do the laundry, we cook, we clean and we get groceries.” Some women do all of that with little or no support. It’s no wonder most women don’t feel they have time to think about exercise, healthy eating habits, adequate sleep and mental well-being. The irony is that if a woman doesn’t take care of herself, she’s less likely to be able to adequately care for others. As the saying goes, “If mama ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy.” That could be expanded to say, “If mama ain’t healthy, ain’t nobody happy.” “By the time a lot of my patients get around to caring for themselves after their kids are grown and out of the house, it’s almost too late,” Foulk says. “A patient waits un-

Brooke Foulk, MD, moments after helping deliver Guillermo “Mo” Diaz-Ramos. Diaz-Ramos’ mother, Denisse, is one of Foulk’s many patients and a great family friend as well. “You can develop strong relationships with women and their families, and you are there for some of the most exciting, emotional and important times in their lives,” Foulk says.

til she finds a breast mass, which could’ve been picked up two years earlier on a mammogram; she waits until she has a heart attack instead of changing her diet and getting adequate exercise; she waits until she breaks her hip instead of screening her bone density and working to keep her bones healthy.” Yearly checkups are important because a woman’s medical problems can often be detected early and dealt with before they turn into more threatening issues. Most health insurance plans cover the cost of a “well-woman visit,” because it is a preventive service. A well-woman visit helps you get the preventive care you need, including screenings that can find diseases early, when they are easier to treat. By finding a condition

Vaccinations

mococcal and meningococcal vaccines for some patients. If you were born in 1957 or later and you haven’t had a shot for measles, mumps and rubella, that may be recommended, too. Vaccinations for chicken pox, hepatitis A and hepatitis B are also available. Gardasil is an immunization that has been shown to prevent cervical cancer in some women. This vaccination is recommended before a woman reaches the age of 30. If it sounds confusing and even overwhelming, it’s all the more reason to schedule an appointment with a doctor who can help you sort out what you need to be at your best. A yearly visit to the doctor’s office is also a good time to talk about personal issues that might be affecting your emotional health. A doctor’s office is a place where confidentiality is a priority. “Women trust OB/GYNs with the most personal information and interactions you can have with a doctor,” Foulk says. “I love getting to know women and families.” Foulk says women should make health and happiness a priority. “Stay up to date on health screenings, and focus on health and well-being,” she says. “Do what you love, and the others around you will be happier and healthier too.” For more information about the services offered by Fort Sanders Women’s Specialists, call 865-541-1122. * Screening guidelines recommended by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF), a commission of non-federal experts in prevention. USPSTF recommendations are evidencebased. This means that science supports USPSTF screening guidelines. The USPSTF is made up of primary care providers.

Posting perfection You see them every time you click on social media. Moms are online bragging about their children’s accomplishments, from first steps to potty training, to getting a driver’s license. Social media has become a very public bulletin board for pictures of newborns at the hospital, children on the first day of school, ballgames, recitals, prom night and graduation. Proud mothers have found a place to continually show evidence of perfect parenting skills. But what if your parenting skills aren’t so perfect? Brooke Foulk, MD, believes social media puts a lot of moms under a tremendous amount of unnecessary pressure. “When women judge and compare themselves to others, which is becoming even more prevalent with social media these days, we continually feel inadequate and imperfect,” Foulk says. Many articles and reports have

been written about protecting the privacy of our children online. There hasn’t been as much about protecting a mom’s sense of selfworth. “I see so many mothers who are worried about being perfect and doing everything right,” Foulk says. She tells them that there is no such thing as perfect parenting or one way of parenting that is always going to be right for every child. “If you love your kids and do your best, then that is what’s right for you and for them,” Foulk says. She tells her patients that “people don’t put pictures on Facebook when they’re having an awful day, when they’re struggling with temper tantrums, when their kids won’t eat healthy food, when they haven’t had time for a shower or when their house is a disaster.” It is often said that “perception is reality,” and if you perceive other parents are having both good days and bad days, it’s a re-

ality you can live with. The pictures and posts on social media often fuel a perception that most kids and their parents are perfect. Not only is that harder to live up to, it’s not reality. “Most parents only post happy times with smiling families in a perfectly clean house with a beautifully prepared, healthy meal,” Foulk says, “which makes mothers who are depressed, grieving or struggling feel even lower.” What’s a mom to do? Foulk likes to quote her 92-yearold grandmother who says, “Do your best. It’s all a mule can do!” Foulk says mothers should be proud of who they are and what they’re doing, even if it doesn’t always turn out perfectly. “You are right if you breastfeed or formula feed; if you work outside the home or are a stay-

Social media often times becomes a public display for perfection in parenting, but Brooke Foulk, MD, tells her patients to focus on what’s best for their families and not worry about what they are seeing on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter.

at-home mom; if your kids only eat organic or if you have to scramble for fast food because of limited time and funds; if you had a vaginal delivery or a Csection; if your kids go to public school, private school or they are home schooled; if they are gifted or struggle in school,” Foulk says. “You are doing what is right for you, and for your kids and family.” Social media won’t go away anytime soon, and it’s certainly natural to want to post what you’re proud of. But if you feel overwhelmed or even bullied by the virtual perception of perfection online, put away the tablet and the smart phone, close the laptop, and go enjoy some real quality time with your very real family.
