Fairview celebrates Freedomfest By Ruth B R h White Whii Wh Fairview Baptist Church celebrated the fourth of July in a big way – with lots of inflatables, bungy jumping, train rides, music and plentiful hot dogs and ice cream. “Freedomfest is our gift to everyone. We want the community to know that we love you and the Lord loves you,� said senior pastor Jeff LaBorg. The event, in its second year, welcomed guests who came out to celebrate the holiday and enjoy fellowship with friends and neighbors. Fairview Baptist Church is located at 7424 Fairview Road in Gibbs.

The best? Another children’s story for Shopper readers starts July 13 as this week’s Shopper gives you the last chapter of “S.O.R. Losers.� “The Best in the World,� another story from Breakfast Serials, follows the antics of best friends Nick and Clay in a six-chapter presentation. Ever since Nick got hold of “The Guinness Book of Records,� he’s been obsessed with the notion of being the best at something. That’s why he and his best friend, Clay, concoct a scheme to establish a world record of their own. Their idea is focused on making money, a lot of money. Find out how they decide to do this, starting next week, only in Shopper News.

How to know? As we age, we may find that locating items, remembering names or dates or trying to come up with the correct word becomes more difficult. Does it mean someone is suffering from dementia? And how will you know? Linda Johnson of Alzheimer’s Tennessee spoke with senior adults and caregivers to help them recognize indicators of dementia. Her group walks through this process with caregivers and patients, she said.

Powell Station Park is dedicated

By Sandra Clark

Residents celebrated the opening of a nine-hole disc golf course at Powell Station Park on July 1, just days before the community’s big Fourth of July parade and picnic. Players from as far away as Morristown were lined up to play. “It plays great,� said one young man. He recently bought a house across Emory Road from the park and said he had been coming over after work to play the course, even before the baskets were installed. Powell Station Park is adjacent to Powell High School on Emory Road. It features a splash pad and

a skate park up front and another 10 acres of partially wooded land leading down to Beaver Creek. “Why are they carrying backpacks?� somebody asked. John Diamond explained: “It’s how we carry our discs.� He had about 20 in his pack, including “putters� and some with shaved edges that he called “aggressive.� Diamond had been involved with the course since the beginning – from the initial land clearing to the course installation. For his volunteer work, Diamond was named “man of the year� at last year’s Powell Busi-

ness and Professional Association banquet. Mayor Tim Burchett celebrated the opening. He recalled how business leaders had approached him before the Emory Road bypass was completed to talk about ways to support Powell’s downtown businesses. The PBPA created Enhance Powell, what co-chair Justin Bailey calls “a beautification committee on steroids.� Expansion of Powell Station Park was step one. Burchett got his senior director of parks and recreation, Doug Bataille, involved. It took two years, but July 1 marked

R.B. Morris and the long road home By Betty Bean Despite a lifelong case of wanderlust, R.B. Morris has a tight connection to his hometown. He has sung about it, analyzed it, helped found a park in it, celebrated and fled it. But no matter how far he flies, he always comes back, and he’s probably halfway serious when he calls Knoxville “the Bermuda Triangle of the Appalachians.� Family, friends and an innate sense of place create bonds that stretch but never break. If anyone was surprised when Mayor Madeline Rogero and the Arts & Culture Alliance named Morris Knoxville’s first poet laureate, nobody has said so. Maybe Rogero’s quoting a verse from “Then There Is a City� (a song from his album “Spies Lies and Burning Eyes�) in her inaugural address was a hint. As photographer Bill Foster put it, Morris’ selection was “the most obvious slam-dunk decision in the history of obviousness.� Richard Bruce Morris is a poet,

a playwright, a singer and a sometime actor who wrote his first song (about his dog, Dixie) when he was in the fourth or fifth grade at Alice Bell Elementary School. He graduated from Holston High School and spent a year at the University of Tennessee before his itchy feet took him away. “I just bailed for the high and wide,� he said. “I took off traveling around the country, wanting to get an advanced education.� It’s hard to keep up with his youthful ramblings, but one of his first artistic partnerships was with Jimmy Rector (son of famed mandolin player Red Rector). They started playing old-timey music up in the hills of Cocke County. After a while, he came back to town and joined a burgeoning music scene where musicians, singers and songwriters were honing their licks and finding their identities. Bands called Shaky Little Finger, See Rock City, Bull Rooker, Ears and the Lonesome Coyotes were striking out in many directions.

R.B. Morris talks with fans at Time Warp Tea Room. Photo by Ruth White “It was a pretty rich scene,� Morris remembered. “Kind of a movable feast.� His influence was Bob Dylan (naturally), with John Prine and Bruce Springsteen entering his consciousness a little later.

Bataille said: “Working together we transformed underutilized land to a real community asset. ‌ We hope the people come out ‌ get healthy ‌ meet new friends ‌ and buy a sandwich or a pizza from a nearby business.â€? Meanwhile, John Diamond is already planning classes. He and Cindy Wegener are planning an inaugural disc golf tournament. The course was dedicated in memory of Travis Wegener, son of Dr. Don and Cindy Wegener, who was killed while visiting friends in Inskip.

a girlfriend drove him to the mountains in January 1980 to “a little old half-built cabin with no running water, a wood stove, a bed and my old man’s manual typewriter. I was kinda flushing myself out of everything – ended relationships with girlfriends and close friends – stopping the world as best I could. That’s when I did my hermit year, living up on Round Mountain up an old gravel road. I was probably the last man in Tennessee.� When he came down from the mountain, he headed west and spent spring 1981 in San Francisco, meeting Beat Generation survivors like Gerald Corso, Lawrence Ferlinghetti and William Burroughs, plus Jack Kerouac biographer Gerald Nicosia, with whom he corresponded after he returned to Knoxville, determined to create something of his own.

o say that the mood in the pool for water aerobics class is “fun and entertaining” is an understatement. Water exercise IS really fun and effective in many ways. During the lively hour-long session, the conversations and the jokes never stop! Bob Brown, who’s been coming to the class for “about 12 years” invites me to “come on in – it feels great!” The 82-degree pool is just the right refreshingbut-not-cold temperature. The rest of the class clamors for my participation. I’m game. While doing water jumping jacks, I strike up a conversation with Mary Simpson. She started coming because of knee problems. The exercise has helped her avoid surgery and she now reports “no problems at all” with her knees, but she also got some bonuses she wasn’t expecting. “I didn’t know anybody, and now Pat and I are best friends!” Pat Land, nearby, agrees. Instructor Melissa Coram urges her class members to change motions. “Kick your right foot fast,” she says, “and hold your hands out of the water.” She’s certified to teach multiple disciplines, including yoga. A few years ago she opted out of

her career as an X-ray technician for a while in order to stay home with her kids. A Tennova member, she became interested in helping out, and now she subs and leads her own classes several days a week. Coram makes the motions on land and we replicate them in the water. I notice that one lady seems to be working really hard and she tells me, “Socializing is very important, too! Probably as important as the exercise itself!” At 79 and in very good health, she knows a bit about healthy aging.

ith its wealth of outdoor pools, lakes, rivers and creeks, East Tennessee’s boating and water season is in full swing, and people head out for the wet stuff every chance they get. Nicole Yarbrough, executive fitness manager at Tennova Health and Fitness Center, says they should head inside instead. “Staying out of the heat” is one great benefit of our indoor aquatic facilities. Yarbrough adds, “And you don’t have to apply sunscreen or worry about a sunburn!” Visitors quickly discover why Yarbrough is so sold on Tennova’s water offerings. “We have a six-lane junior Olympic-size pool,” she says, adding that “two lanes are always available, no matter what else is going on,” and a smaller, warm therapy pool set at 92 degrees. Saunas, steam rooms and whirlpools, plus clean showers and spacious locker rooms, complete the picture. When you exercise in water, says Yar-

All say they like the friendly, no-pressure atmosphere in Tennova’s weight room. Coram puts the group through a vigorous session of movement and resistance in the deep end of the pool. Toward the end of the class, they move to the shallow

Water makes you buoyant; it cushions around joints but also adds resistance.” An exercise session in the water “is not necessarily an easy workout, but a workout that is easier on your body.” She also mentions the benefits of hydrostatic pressure for the body’s circulatory system. Tennova recently installed a new, state-ofthe-art lift chair which makes it possible for the wheelchair-bound to enter the pool. Yarbrough has seen several such members walk unaided in the water. Tennova offers group or individual swimming lessons from ages six months to adult and an array of water activities such as “Aqua Zen,” water aerobics, classes geared toward arthritis and fibromyalgia relief, and interval training. And the large pool is even available for party rentals. For more information, call 865-859-7900.

Sherrie Anstett makes her way slowly up the pool ramp. She has torn the meniscus in both knees during two separate instances, but has so far avoided surgery on the most recent injury. She’s sticking with exercise. “The water is a godsend,” she says. “It’s just a godsend.”

Stu Aberdeen story lives again The last time I visited Wolfville, Nova Scotia, was 1976, on the way home from the Montreal Olympics. I went to Acadia University to see the basketball trophies and treasures coach Stu Aberdeen had accumulated. The Canadians thought I was big-time. They received me graciously, but the first two I asked didn’t recognize the Aberdeen name. When I found the administrator who knew whom and what I was talking about, he seemed embarrassed to say there were no statues or monuments carved in stone. There were some leftover plaques and a few pictures, but he didn’t know where they were. Maybe in a closet. His explanation: “He has

Survey seeks help on East Knox business development By Sandra Clark Nick Della Volpe has created a survey to gain public opinion on ways to improve the business community in North/East Knoxville.

He says: “The survey results will help us plan the upcoming economic roundtable or summit to be held this Della Volpe fall. Stay tuned; we’ll likely have a few planning and preliminary meetings once we get a better handle.

much as Acadia had. Tennessee celebrated the Ernie and Bernie show without a second thought of how those New York prep stars got to Knoxville to become all-time greats. The recruitment of Ernie Grunfeld and Bernard King was a legendary accomplishment. Work and more work were the key words. Tireless determination was relevant. In one case, the brilliant interpretation of a coffee stain on the great book of high school transcripts proved pivotal. I never believed Aberdeen cheated. I always thought the simple explanation for the two miracles was his refusal to go away. The second stay created a crisis for Bob Woodruff, Tennessee athletic director. Stu handed in an expense account almost two months late. Normally, Bob looked

at numbers and entered a period of meditation. This time there was a loud exclamation: “Fifty-two consecutive days in New York City!� It was not a question. Mears had signed off on Stu’s expenses and had initialed beginning and end dates. Ray called it tenacious recruiting coupled with frugality. When Stu ran out of money, he had moved in with friends and borrowed a car. “Tenacious� and “frugality� were not common in Woodruff’s vocabulary. He repeated them carefully. Mears just stood there, awaiting an explosion. It never came. Later, there was an earthquake. Not yet aware of King’s terrific talent, what a great thing Aberdeen had done, Woodruff reduced the basketball recruiting bud-

get for the next year so there would be no more months in New York. After Aberdeen’s death (heart attack, June 11, 1979), Acadia staged a fourteam holiday tournament in his memory. It did not flourish. Acadia tried it as a preseason project. It eventually expired. I called from time to time to ask about it. I was told it might be coming back. It is. The Stu Aberdeen Memorial Basketball Tournament will be Sept. 30-Oct. 2, hopefully before the first snow. Inspiration and motivation was a large donation from a former player to launch arena renovation. Acadia will name the playing floor in Stu’s memory. Several Aberdeens will participate in the ceremony. Thought you’d like to know. Marvin West invites reader reaction. His address is westwest6@netzero.com

I’m not a feminist, but ‌ Times were tough when Patricia Head came to Knoxville in 1974 to teach physical education, train for the 1976 Olympics and work on her master’s degree at the University of Tennessee. At just 22, she was asked to coach the women’s basketball team – a job she left 38 years later when driven to retirement by early-onset Alzheimer’s. She never had a losing season and won eight national championships. Even more remarkable was her personal transformation from Trish Head to Pat Summitt. But think back to 1974.

body had heard of a personal computer. With oil prices soaring and a global recession underway, politicians were wrestling with fallout from the previous year’s Roe v. Wade decision. Gerald Ford kept tripping over things, including his pardon of Richard Nixon and his amnesty for draft dodgers. In this context, Patricia Head earned $250 per month ‌ and she had to drive the team van and wash the uniforms. Until Dave Hart dismantled it, Pat and her ADs, Nancy Lay, Gloria Ray and

Joan Cronan, built an organizational juggernaut. Not only did Pat assemble outstanding players and assistant coaches, but she also put together a team of trainers and managers, and public-relations and fundraising whizzes. And, most remarkably, these women achieved great things, but they were not feminists. If you don’t believe that, all you had to do was ask. A friend’s daughter went to one of Pat’s camps at age 12. This was a camp for kids who would never make the high school team, much less play in college. Yet the kid came home glowing after each session. Pat motivated these girls to believe in their ability to set goals and reach them through hard work. Pat told them they might not be the most talented player on the

court, but they could be the most competitive. She told players when their shots weren’t falling to double down on defense and rebounding. She left a legacy of excellence that inspires each of us. And that’s why a dusty orange gloom has settled over Knoxville during the past weeks. Pat is gone.

HALLS/FOUNTAIN CITY Shopper news • JULY 6, 2016 • A-5

‘Building capacity,’ says Barber Chris Barber looks even younger than his 26 years. Let’s see what he looks like in November after spending most of the year managing Knox County Democratic candidates’ campaigns. Barber got his degree in political science from the Un iver sit y of Tennessee in 2013, is from the Middle Tennessee town of Waverly and came here in 2008 to go Chris Barber to school. His mom came with him – he says they wanted a change from the 40-acre farm where he’d grown up – and now she has a job as a computer engineer in Oak Ridge. Barber loves Knoxville and is proud of the ways it has changed since he’s been here. “I planned to leave when I graduated, but now it’s

Betty Bean home,� he said. For now, he’s focusing on three County Commission races – District 1, 2 and 4 – where Evelyn Gill, Laura Kildare and Marleen Davis are facing off against Republican opponents. After that, he’ll move to the 13th District state House race where Gloria Johnson is trying to win back the seat she lost in 2014 to Republican Eddie Smith. The Knox County Democratic Party and the Tennessee Democratic Party are going halfsies on Barber’s $3,200 per month salary. His staff consists of four interns and a cadre of volunteers. Barber worked as a bartender or server at several downtown eateries for a

couple of years, and then he traveled to Alaska, where he spent a month and all his money. He was working for a lawn-care service when Knox County Democratic Party chair Cameron Brooks offered him a job helping Marleen Davis. He jumped at the chance to work in his preferred field for a highly qualified candidate (Davis is a former dean of UT’s College of Architecture). He says one of his biggest challenges has been learning to deal with “the politics within the politics.� He’s working full-time and then some, and he ends his days with a conference call to Nashville to report the number of doors he’s hit. He says his mission is to build a stronger base for his party, and he believes that boosting awareness of local races – or “building capacity� – will serve Democrats well in the future. He’s frustrated by the

tendency to treat local races as popularity contests instead of opportunities to examine the qualifications of competing candidates and firmly believes that his side would win that comparison. An idealist who sports a Remote Area Medical bracelet among a rainbow of other arm wear, Barber is a Bernie Sanders suppor ter (but not a Bernie-or-Bust guy), and he attributes the age divide among Democrats to the changing times. “I didn’t grow up during the Cold War, so I don’t fear socialism,� he said. “But I’ve seen what unbridled capitalism does. In my view, (the lack of) economic opportunity is the driving issue.� He’s working to get Sanders voters motivated to turn out in August, when Sanders won’t be on the ballot. This could be crucial in the first and second districts. “I frame it as a matter of responsibility,� Barber said.

UT Trustees should rethink pay policy State Rep. Roger Kane, longtime champion of the Lady Vols, says that “restoring the name of the Lady Vols to women’s sports at UT would be a wonderful way to honor the memory of Pat Summitt,� who passed away last week. Kane, along with many others, believes that Athletic Director Dave Hart would never have touched the Lady Vols name had Pat Summitt been able to articulate her views against it prior to the onset of her illness. People will be watching at the July 14 service for Summitt at ThompsonBoling Arena to see if this topic is mentioned and, if so, how. Restoring the Lady Vols name would be a lasting honor for Summitt. ■The four contenders for the Republican nomination for the West Knoxville state House seat now held by Martin Daniel will debate at a forum 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, July 12, sponsored by the League of Women Voters outside District 18 at the East Tennessee History Center, 601 S. Gay St. The public is invited. In addition to Daniel, candidates include James Corcoran, Bryan Dodson and former state Rep. Steve Hall. Hall has distributed several attack pieces on Daniel while Corcoran has promoted his support of Gov. Haslam’s Insure Tennessee proposals. He is the only candidate openly for it. Hall is opposed, while Daniel supports a more costeffective plan. Hall’s recent mailer misspelled Gov. Haslam’s name. Daniel has renewed his

Victor Ashe

backing for open-records access to the public without fees, changing the state education funding formula to assist urban counties like Knox, and funding for Mayor Burchett’s building project for short-term housing of mentally ill offenders. ■Expect the federal indictment of state Rep. Joe Armstrong to go to trial on Aug. 2 as scheduled, just two days prior to the Democratic primary on Aug. 4. The trial should last a week. It does not appear that a settlement or plea bargain is possible, so a jury will decide guilt or innocence. Armstrong is a candidate for re-election. He faces Pete Drew, an independent, in November. No Republican is running. If Armstrong is convicted, he is not barred from seeking another term, but it is unlikely the House would seat a convicted felon, which would force a special election to fill the seat. Retired federal Judge Tom Phillips is presiding over the case. ■My column last week said that former Gov. Phil Bredesen voted on the losing side of the DiPietroNoland contest for UT president in 2010. This was in error as Bredesen was absent from the meeting and did not vote. It is true that the Board of Trustees split 11-10 between the two men.

In 2004, Bredesen had attended the board meeting at which John Petersen was elected over John Peters, and he voted for the losing candidate, Peters, at that time. Petersen was ultimately forced out as president. ■UT Chancellor Jimmy Cheek will return to a tenured faculty position sometime next year. His new salary will be 75 percent of his current salary. This comes out to roughly $330,000 a year as a professor as his current chancellor’s salary is in the $440,000 a year range. UT has a policy that allows any tenured faculty member who moves to an administrative post to return to their prior post at a pay grade that is 75 percent of their administrative salary. This always results in a significantly large bump in pay from their prior tenured pay. ■Provost Susan Martin, who leaves as provost Aug. 1, will receive a generous increase as well as her current salary is $327,000. It will fall back to roughly $246,000 in three weeks. It seems to me that this policy should be reviewed by the Board of Trustees for future situations. The new positions Martin and Cheek are assuming are clearly less stressful and time-consuming than their current positions. A salary more consistent with what other professors in the same field are making, taking into account the individual levels of expertise and the new workload (hours spent teaching or researching), should govern the pay as opposed to an automatic 75

percent of current salary. This is an expensive policy for tax- and tuition-payers. It also happens when a dean or interim president returns to the faculty. ■City Council member Marshall Stair turned 38 on June 30. He is the youngest Knoxville council member. U.S. District Court Judge Tom Varlan turns 60 on July 8, while U.S. Rep. John Duncan turns 69 on July 21, and federal Judge Pam Reeves turns 62 the same day. Happy birthday to all. ■Barbara Kelly, longtime director of CAC and previously top aide to L.T. Ross of CAC, completes 50 years of service to CAC this year. The L.T. Ross Building on Western Avenue is undergoing a major and needed facelift with the leadership of Kelly and active assistance of city director David Brace and city forester Kasey Krouse. ■The sign that never was (namely the one indicating the Knox-Blount greenway along the river) is going up this week, according to an email from city public works director David Brace to council member Nick Pavlis, who represents South Knoxville. While the greenway was formally opened by the mayor in December, the city failed to erect a sign to it for eight months. Only direct intervention from Pavlis got it done. Pavlis is seen as a “go-to person� on the council to get results. Brace is also a very diligent and effective city director who can act while others fail the test.

Future growth in Knox County

Lessons learned from the transformation of downtown can be applied to the county By Marleen Kay Davis Experts predict that Knox County will experience a 30 percent population increase by 2040. Will we have 30 percent more sprawl? 30 percent more traffic? How Marleen Davis do we plan to address such growth in the next 25 years? Can we retain our existing high quality of life? Decisions we make today will affect our quality of life for decades. We need 21st-century ideas that give us the flexibility to create diverse neighborhoods, vibrant commercial districts, attractive parks and safe streets, while preserving green space. Residents, businesses and investors should be involved in an open process to guide this change. We should overhaul outdated 20th-century approaches to planning and growth, with single-use zoning and an inconsistent “variance� process. For example, we need to have genuine “mixed-use� neighborhood centers with residential and commercial uses in walkable districts. Right now, a building with commercial below and residential above isn’t possible in our zoning codes, except in special districts, such as downtown. Currently, the City Council is considering a mixeduse concept for Bearden Village. This could be a model for future development of compact, walkable neighborhood centers, while preserving traditional residential zones and green spaces. Since 1994, I have been one of many involved in efforts to revitalize downtown. As a result, I know how property owners, businesses and local government can collaborate in a process for positive change. Efforts for change are slow and complex and involve many stakeholders, with much at stake. Silver bullets don’t exist. Decades later, we appreciate the dramatic transformation of the downtown. As a county commissioner, I could apply my collaborative experience

with the downtown in helping the county address future growth, especially in the Fourth District. We should engage concerned stakeholders in a transparent public process to develop new guidelines that provide predictability and flexibility. Some strategies for 21stcentury quality growth that we should consider are: ■Diversify residential choices for young people, families, empty nesters and retirees. (We need many options: single-family homes, condos, apartments, mixed-use residential buildings in walkable neighborhood centers, residential communities with amenities and subdivisions.) ■Develop walkable neighborhood centers, with residential units. Imagine living in an area where you park once at your residence and then walk to stores, restaurants and other amenities. Traffic is reduced. ■Cluster walkable commercial development and preserve green areas, rather than allowing random commercial expansion along roads. ■Provide safe streets, with appropriate widths. ■Increase the numbers of sidewalks and crosswalks, especially at commercial areas and schools. ■Expand the county’s parks and greenways, with connectivity for biking. ■Preserve the scenic character of Knox County’s landscapes. ■Explore imaginative transportation options. ■Consider innovative planning processes, resulting in “overlay districts,� new zoning definitions and other flexible strategies. In my work over the past 20 years with downtown Knoxville, I have seen firsthand how the public and private sectors can work together to guide change. This is a slow process, but it takes imagination, patience and respect for the concerns of all stakeholders to work together to achieve positive change. Marleen Davis is the Democratic candidate for Knox County Commission, District 4. She is an ACSA Distinguished Professor of Architecture at the University of Tennessee. The Republican nominee is Hugh Nystrom.

As we age, we may find that locating items, remembering names or dates or trying to come up with the correct word becomes more difficult. Does it mean someone is suffering from dementia? And how will you know? Linda Johnson of Alzheimer’s Tennessee recently spoke with a group of senior adults and caregivers to help individuals understand and recognize indicators of dementia. “Dealing with Alzheimer’s is trial and error,� she said. “What works at 12 may not work at 12:05.� The goal of Alzheimer’s Tennessee is to walk through this process with caregivers and patients and make sure they know that they are not alone. Early diagnosis and treatment of dementia is important, but a problem can’t be fi xed if it isn’t known. With dementia, there are symptoms that will appear slowly and progress over time. These symptoms are not normal age-related issues. If someone forgets a name or date but can recall it later, that is a normal age-related memory issue. Johnson also shared that memory loss that is triggered by a brain tumor, poor nutrition, vitamin deficiency or thyroid issue and is reversible is likely

Every case of Alzheimer’s is different, but experts have identified common warning signs. With memory loss, if someone forgets a name or where they left their keys, that is normal aging. If they have difficulty remembering familiar names, places or recent important events, that may be an indicator of dementia. Do you forget the day of the week occasionally or why you entered a room? Welcome, normal aging. If someone gets lost on their

own street or forgets where they are and how to get home, that may be an indicator for dementia. Other possible indicators for dementia may include being challenged by menial tasks that may be familiar such as following a recipe; completing activities of daily living such as brushing teeth, getting dressed or using the phone; or using words appropriately –having difficulty completing sentences and following directions/conversations. Individuals who may make a mistake in a checkbook, sometimes need assistance with electronic devices or who occasionally struggle to find the right words are more than likely experiencing normal aging. Johnson suggested several activities for good brain health including staying active through physical exercise at least three times a week, listening to music, learning a new language or learning to play piano. She also added that healthy eating habits may also ward off some of the effects. Speaking with a physician if you suspect someone you love may be suffering from dementia is the first step to care. Alzheimer’s Tennessee is also available to provide information on the disease at its East Tennessee office, 5801 Kingston Pike, or online at www.alzTennessee. org. Info: 544-6288

On hallowed ground On that day, says the Lord of hosts, the peg that was fastened in a secure place will give way; it will be cut down and fall, and the load that was on it will perish, for the Lord has spoken. (Isaiah 22: 25 NRSV) Recently, I was privileged to stand on hallowed ground. We were in Oklahoma City, visiting my daughter Eden. On Sunday, we went to church with her, lunched, then went to the site of the Oklahoma City bombing. I confess that, with all the other horrors that have happened in our country since that day, the memories of that particular event had faded in my mind. But standing there on a beautiful afternoon, in the midst of a large city, the quiet and surprising peacefulness were healing. The scenes came flooding back; my most vivid memory of that day was seeing a firefighter on live television carrying a dead baby in his arms – a casualty from the daycare center – tears on his face, horror in his eyes. The footprint of what had been a large building is now a shallow reflecting pool. Beside it stands a large elm tree that somehow survived the holocaust of the bombing. On the other side of the pool there are concrete chairs that represent the persons who died. Each one has a name engraved on it; they are placed in lines to represent what floor they were on when the building crashed to the ground. Every one of those deaths was a peculiar atrocity: a singular, personal, unnecessary tragedy. My heart aches for the dead, and for the survivors, who carry the scars forever. I am pleased to discover that I do not remember the bomber’s name. I want to remember neither him, nor his name!

Many congratulations to Fountain City United Methodist’s “Feeding Frenzy,� and best wishes for success next year!

By Carol Z. Shane Some members of Fountain City United Methodist Church are walking with a spring in their step these days, knowing that they did a whole lot of good by taking part in Knox Area Rescue Mission’s 14th annual Dragon Boat Festival. A team of 24 church members under the name “Feeding Frenzy� not only raised $10,573 to support KARM, but they also won first place in the nonprofit fundraising category and fourth place in overall fundraising. “A team from FCUMC participates each year,� says LeRae Collins, the church’s communications director. “This was also the team’s best year in the race!� Associate pastor John Gargis previously served as director of donor relations for KARM. He was excited to be a part of the team. “It is a great way to bond with boat mates while raising money for a great cause.�

Associate pastor and team drummer Amy Aycock kept the paddlers paddling at a steady tempo. Photos submitted Gargis says he most enjoyed being on the starting line. Drummer for the team was FCUMC’s associate pastor for discipleship, Amy Aycock. She kept the pace steady. The event, which took place a few weeks ago at the Cove in Concord Park,

provides funds for KARM’s many programs dedicated to helping Knoxville’s homeless population. Paddlers register as teams online, and each team member sets up a personal page, collecting sponsors as race day nears. Each team must have an equal number of men

By Ruth White When employers look for new employees, what do they want? What makes a good candidate for a job position? Jessica Schaeffer, career and retail manager with Goodwill Industries, has some tips that can bolster applicants’ confidence during a job interview. Schaeffer first guides individuals through a series of questions so they may better understand their personal leadership style. “Do you like authority, someone telling you what to do? Do you like to take charge? Have fun? Are you a talker?� She identified four leadership styles to which people can relate. The four types are a lion (born to lead, decision maker, strong); otter (very social and popular, sensitive but loves to have fun); beaver (very organized, list maker,

detail oriented) and golden retriever (loyal, sensitive to others, thinks of the team). “Knowing your leadership style is important and can help a person understand how they operate in a work environment,� she said. “This is also important when dealing with conflict resolution. Remember, you don’t have to be friends with everyone, but you need to get along with them. Being nice goes a long way.� Qualities prospective employers often look for in an employee include punctuality, dressing their best (clean appearance/ brushed hair), positive attitude, willingness to learn and asking questions. If a job interview is scheduled, Schaeffer encouraged the students to always be polite, shake the employer’s hand firmly and look them in the eyes.

“During the interview, you may be asked how you heard about the job or even why you want the job,� said Schaeffer. “They may ask what you think your strengths or weaknesses may be. Even with a weakness, try to put a positive light on it. When asked a question, always answer beyond a ‘yes’ or ‘no.’ “An employer wants to

CHAPTER FOURTEEN: Story So Far: The special soccer team has lost every game they have played. With the last game at hand, they have to decide their fate. Will they win or lose? As we ran onto the field, we were met with something like a roar. I think the whole school was there. They were chanting, “Win! Win! Win!� Then when they saw the back of our shirts, they really went wild. Crazy. You couldn’t tell if they were for us or against us. It was scary. As for the last game . . . We had been told that Parkville was a team that hadn’t won a game either. They looked it. From the way they kicked the ball

around — tried to kick the ball around — it was clear this was going to be a true contest between horribles. The big difference was their faces. Stiff and tight. You could see they wanted to win. Had to win. We were relaxed and fooling around. Having a grand old time. Not them. The ref blew his whistle and called for captains. I went out, shook hands. The Parkville guy was really uptight. He kept squeezing his own hands, rubbing his face. The ref said he wanted a clean, hard game, and told us which side we should defend. “May the best team win,� he said. A believer! We started.

(I know the way this is supposed to work . . . There we are, relaxed, having a good time, not caring really what goes on, maybe by this time not even sweating the outcome. That should make us, in TV land, winners. Especially as it becomes very clear that Parkville is frantic about winning. Like crazy. They have a coach who screams himself redfaced all the time. Who knows. Maybe he’s going to lose his job if they’re defeated: No Soccer Team Left Behind.) Actually, a lot of things happened that game. There was the moment, just like the first game, when their side, dressed in stunning scarlet, came plunging our way. Mighty Saltz went out to meet them like a battleship. True to form (red face, wild), he gave a mighty kick, and missed. But he added something new. Leave it to my buddy Saltz. He swung so hard he sat down, sat down on the ball. Like he was hatching an egg. We broke up at that. So did everyone else. Except the Parkville coach. He was screaming, “Penalty! Penalty!� So they got the ball. But I was laughing so much they scored an easy goal. Worth it. “Least you could have done is hatched it,� I yelled at Saltz. “I think they only allow eleven on a team,� he informed me. He must have been studying the rules. Then there was the moment when Porter, Radosh and Dorman got into a really terrific struggle to get the ball — from each other. Only when they looked up did they realize with whom they were struggling. By that time, of course, it was too late. Stolen ball. There was a moment when Parkville knocked the ball out of bounds. Fenwick had to throw it in. He snatched up the ball, held it over his head, got ready to heave it, then—dropped it out of bounds. Their ball. It was a close game, though. The closest. By the time it was almost over, they were leading by only one. We were actually in the game. How did the crowd react? They didn’t know what to do. Sometimes they laughed. Sometimes they chanted that “Win! Win!� thing. It was like a party for them. Then it happened . . . Fenwick took the ball on a pass from Lifsom. Lifsom dribbled down the right side and flipped it toward the middle. Hays got it fairly well and, still driving, shot a pass back to Radosh, who somehow managed to snap it easy over to Porter, who was right near the side of the goal. Porter, too frustrated to shoot, knocked the ball back to Hays, who charged toward the goal, only some Parkville guy managed to get in the way. Hays, screaming, ran right over him, still controlling the ball.

I stood there, astonished. “They’ve gotten to him,� I said to myself. “He’s flipped.� I mean, Hays was like a wild man. Not only did he have the cleanest shot in the universe, he was desperate. And so . . . he tripped. Fell flat on his face. Thunk! Their goalie scooped up the ball, flung it downfield, and that was the end of that. As for Hays, he picked himself up, slowly, too slowly. The crowd grew still. You could see it all over Hays. Shame. The crowd waited. They were feeling sorry for him. You could feel it. He was standing there in the middle of the field — everything had stopped, everybody was watching — when Hays, poor guy, began to cry. That’s all you could hear. His sobs. He had failed. Then I remembered. “Be a Loser!� I bellowed. At my yell, our team snapped up their heads and looked around. “SOR LOSER!� I screamed again. The team picked up the words and began to run toward Hays, yelling, cheering, screaming, “SOR LOSER! SOR LOSER! SOR LOSER!� Hays, stunned, began to lift his eyes. Meanwhile, the whole team, and I’m not kidding, joined hands and began to run in circles around Hays, still giving the chant. “SOR LOSER! SOR LOSER! SOR LOSER!� The watching crowd, trying to figure out what was happening, finally began to understand. They began to cheer! “SOR LOSER! SOR LOSER! SOR LOSER!� You should have seen Hays’s face. It was like a Disney nature film of a blooming flower. Slow, but steady. A grin grew on his face. Then he lifted his arms in victory, and he too began to cheer. He had won — himself. Right about then the horn blared. The game was over. The season was done. We were total losers. Champions of last place. We hugged each other, screamed and hooted like teams do when they win championships. Want the truth? We were a lot happier than those Parkville guys who had won. In the locker room, we started to take off our uniforms. Mr. Lester broke in. “Wait a minute,� he announced. “Team picture.� We trooped out again, lining up, arm in arm, our backs to the camera. We were having fun! Go losers! “English test tomorrow,� said Saltz as he and I headed for home. “I haven’t studied yet. I’ll be up half the night.� “Don’t worry,� I said. “For that, I believe in you.� “You know what?� he said. “So do I.� He did, too. Aced it. A winner. His way. (The end.)

Maxwell signs with King University Gibbs High senior Ethan Maxwell signed to wrestle at King University in the fall. Maxwell, a three-year wrestler at Gibbs, has had success in the 113-pound weight class for the Eagles. Ethan has qualified for the state tournament every year (he wrestled at Karns in the ninth grade, qualifying for KHS that year) and placed second his junior year. An injury sidelined him before he could compete at the Maxwell tournament his senior year. He was named a member of the 100 Win Club at GHS, named to the top 40 wrestlers in the nation and placed second in the South East Worlds his junior year. Gibbs coach Tim Pittman called his two-year captain an “impressive kid� and says he knows that he will do well at the collegiate level. Club coach Spencer Bailey added, “He’s a great young man, very humble with a tenacious drive.� While at Gibbs, Ethan believes, he learned a lot from Pittman and his teammates, including respect for others, integrity and never giving up. He will study biology while at King and he selected the school for its Christian atmosphere and the great coaching staff. Attending the signing with Ethan were his parents, Phillip and Lisa Maxwell, girlfriend Taylor Beard and best friend Adolfo Felix.

the Rotary guy BIZ NOTES

Tom King tking535@gmail.com

Rotaract clubs want young adults There are seven Rotary clubs in Knox County, and there are three “Rotaract� clubs –Knoxville Community Rotaract Club and UT Rotaract Club, and Pellissippi State Community College is in the process of restarting its Rotaract club. What is Rotaract? It is a Rotary-backed club for young adults age 18-30 that meets twice a month to exchange ideas, network, focus on professional development, work on hands-on projects and, in the spirit of Rotary, make our community and world a better place. While Rotary clubs serve as sponsors, Rotaract clubs decide how to organize and run their clubs and what projects to carry out. Leon Barkley is beginning his second term as president of the Knoxville Community club. The club meets at 5:45 p.m. on the first and third Tuesday of each month at Brixx Pizza near West Town Mall. Barkley is the enterprise resource planning support lead at Radio Systems Corp. The other officers are vice president Cate Bolden, an opera singer and adjunct professor in the voice departments at Leon Barkley Carson-Newman University and Pellissippi State Community College; secretary Rachel Dellinger, director of communications for the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra; and treasurer Jordan Knight, manager of the Bearden branch of US Bank. The club is sponsored by the Rotary Club of Knoxville, and Ed Anderson has served as the liaison to the Rotaract club. Jim Decker, CEO of Medic Blood Servic-

es, will be the adviser for 2016-17. “Right now we have 10 members, and we’re looking for young professionals who want to give back to our community, enjoy professional development programs and do some networking,â€? Barkley said. The club recently partnered with the Bearden Beer Market and raised $1,200 for The Love Kitchen. If you are interested in joining or would like more information about Knoxville Rotaract, contact Barkley at 865-740-1611 or lbarkley@petsafe.net. â–

Parade time

The Rotary Club of Turkey Creek-Sunset didn’t cancel its Fourth of July week meeting. It just moved it from July 5 back a day to July 4 to participate in the 29th annual Town of Farragut Independence Day parade. Club members walked the parade route and passed out hand fans with the club’s name on each and also carried a banner with the Rotary Wheel and Club logo and corkboards naming the various projects the club has worked on and is working on. What a great way to spend the Fourth! â–

Ann Lotspeich

Ann Lotspeich, past president of the Rotary Club of Turkey Creek and one of its founding members, passed away June 21 at her home in Powell. Lotspeich, 59, had recently retired from the human resources department at the Y-12 plant. She also was currently serving as the club’s secretary. Club members at the June 28 meeting celebrated her life and raised $200 to be given to the Rotary International annual fund in her name.

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

’Chute straight Trust helps ex-paratrooper take leap of faith He jumped out of airplanes 102 times during his 25-year Army career and spent the Vietnam War in Korea getting shot at by snipers along the Imjin River. But when the time came for 65-year-old John Parris of Knoxville to undergo back surgery, he was admittedly nervous. “I was scared,” he said flatly. “Somebody’s messing with your spinal cord. All the nerves and everything that makes your body function are in a ganglia back there. So there was a moment that I asked ‘Why me?’” But with his radiculopathy, a neuropathy caused by nerve compression and spondylolisthesis, which is the forward displacement of vertebra, causing back and leg pain and repeated falls, Parris put his trust in neurosurgeon Dr. Barrett Brown at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center. In late August, Parris underwent Barrett Brown, a minimally invasive procedure M.D. known as transformational lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) of his third and fourth lumbar vertebrae. Using small incisions and stateof-the-art intraoperative image guidance, Dr. Brown attached surgical hardware such as pedicle screws and rods to the back of Parris’s vertebra. An interbody spacer called a fusion cage was inserted into the disc space from one side of the spine to help promote fusion. In contrast to the traditional or “open” surgical method which would have required a large midline incision, stripping muscle tissue away from the bone and placement of large retractors, the minimally invasive technique employed by Dr.

John Parris is enjoying all the things that used to be challenging, like preparing his garden for summer without pain thanks to his minimally invasive spine surgery at Fort Sanders Regional

Brown offered several advantages. “In my experience, people get back in their normal routines a little sooner,” said Dr. Brown. “Their hospital stay is not quite as long. The blood loss is less and there’s usually less tissue destruction. Because of that there’s less pain, and you get out of the hospital sooner and back to what you were normally doing more quickly.” After just a few days in the hospital and three weeks on a walker or cane, Parris – with his back made straighter by the rods – was free of pain, walking in physical therapy and well on his way to a full recovery. “I was up walking within 24 hours, and once I got my legs under me it wasn’t long before I was doing the therapy, and I’ve done really well,” said Parris. “Coming up this August, it’ll be a year that I have been pain-free.” Not just pain-free, but also more active. Now 44 pounds lighter thanks to Dr. Brown’s recommendation to see a dietitian, Parris isn’t limiting his activities at all. In fact, you might catch him pressure-washing

his house, hoeing his garden or playing his guitar, bass or mandolin. “I can swim, I can ride a bike, I can walk all over Dollywood,” said Parris. “My back has not slowed me down whatsoever. I can do anything I set my mind to.” “I think he had a good outcome,” said Dr. Brown. “His leg pain was completely resolved. He reported his pain as zero.” Parris said a big reason for his successful outcome was that Dr. Brown used a methodical “holistic” approach to diagnosing and treating him, conferring with Parris’ oncologist, primary care doctor, physical therapist and dietitian. “He looked at me and talked to me about trying to lose some weight and doing some things that would take the pressure off

my back,” said Parris. “I had a curvature in my back from where my gut had gotten so big and it was putting pressure on some nerves and affecting my ability to walk. Dr. Brown said, ‘Lose a little of this right here, and it’ll take care of that back, too.’ It wasn’t easy but I didn’t starve. The big thing was to increase my water intake, stay away from white bread, stop the gravy and give up the soft drinks.” “We didn’t rush into surgery from the get-go – we talked about other non-surgical options as well,” said Dr. Brown, adding that Parris had three epidural injections that offered relief temporarily. “He is diabetic so when I first saw him the concern was, ‘Is this a femoral neuropathy, an effect of the diabetes? Or is this secondary to the slippage?’ That’s one of the reasons we talked about doing the epidural injections to help determine between the two. I wouldn’t think it would help with the diabetic neuropathy, but if it was secondary to the subluxation it could potentially help ease his pain and it did.” But when the third injection wore off after about 10 days, Parris again found himself falling. “So I called up Dr. Brown and he set up a surgery date,” said Parris. “Within 48 hours, he had a surgery suite for me and was ready to go.” However, Parris, despite his death-defying leaps from airplanes and near misses in Korea, was still a bit nervous about the whole thing. After all, his fatherin-law had undergone seven back surgeries. “My wife, Karen, was on top of things,” he said. “She knew about my medicine, she knew about my therapy, she knew all this stuff beforehand because she had seen her Daddy go through all the back

surgeries, and she was well informed. “Between her and Dr. Brown and his staff, I was blessed. So I give a lot of kudos to my wife. She and Dr. Brown had some talks about what’s going to be best for me, and Dr. Brown was able to basically calm my fears. I looked at his staff at how well they were coordinated, and how well he presented himself to me. He made me feel calmer. I had trust in him. And that’s what really helped me – he calmed me down. I looked at the reviews and I saw that this guy is a top-notch surgeon.” He was particularly pleased with the nursing staff at FSRMC. “When they scheduled me for my surgery, they kept me informed,” he said. “By keeping me informed, that eased some of the anxiety. On surgery day, I thought there would be more drama to it than there was. The process was very efficient, everyone was involved in a tag team approach – whether it be the procedure, the prep, the day after the surgery – if I had a problem, all I had to do was call them. They made that quite clear: if I needed them at any time, I was to give them a call. That was reassuring. “When it comes surgery date, you take a deep breath and say, ‘OK, Doc and the Good Lord, I’m in your hands.’ I was blessed with the surgical team, and his whole staff. I trusted in what they were saying and what they were doing. You have to have a little faith in people, especially your neurosurgeon and your doctor’s staff. If you can’t trust them, then you’ve got to look somewhere else.” For more information about the Center for Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery at Fort Sanders Regional, call 865-541-2835 or visit fsregional.com/minimallyinvasive.

MI-TLIF or open? It’s the surgeon’s choice The jury is still out, but evidence is mounting that minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MI-TLIF) continues to gain patients’ favor in the treatment of serious spondylolisthesis, degenerative disc disease, or nerve compression with associated low back pain. Yet, despite obvious benefits of minimally invasive TLIF procedures, surgeons are likely to keep traditional, open spinal fusions in their armamentarium. In fact, Dr. Barrett Brown, neurosurgeon with the Fort Sanders Center for Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery, says John Parris’ recent surgery probably could have been done more easily using the traditional, open approach. “A lot of surgeons have done this surgery open and that’s always a consideration,” said Dr. Brown. “Just like when you do a gall bladder of appendix laparoscopically, there’s always a potential chance that you’ll need to revert to an open procedure. Mr. Parris’ case could have been done open – he probably would have been in the hospital

an extra day or two. On the surface, that may not seem like a big difference, but when you add up hundreds of cases, that’s hundreds of hospital days that are saved.” Some argue that the term “minimally invasive” is a misnomer, that “minimal access” would be more appropriate. That’s because the key difference in MI-TLIF compared with the open method is the exchange of one long incision for multiple small ones. In MI-TLIF, the surgeon does the entire procedure through a tube using special instruments and 3D fluoroscopy. By working through such a small portal, the technique greatly reduces the amount of muscle and tissue that must be cut or retracted, blood loss is dramatically reduced and less pain means shorter recovery periods. “Most surgeons are trained in the open method so it might be a little quicker, and there’s less of a learning curve,” said Dr. Brown. “But I think once you’ve learned the MI technique, the procedures are largely equivalent.

Some patients may prefer one over the other. But we’re hopefully getting the same outcome with a less invasive approach, with less tissue destruction and less pain.”Studies conducted at UCLA demonstrated a five- to 10-fold reduction in blood loss, 20 to 40 percent shorter surgical times, 30 to 40 percent decrease in postoperative narcotic use, a 30 percent shorter hospitalization time and more rapid overall recovery. Studies conducted at UCLA of minimally invasive surgery demonstrated: ■ Five to 10 percent reduction in blood loss ■ 20 to 40 percent shorter surgical time ■ 30 to 40 percent decrease in postoperative narcotic use ■ 30 percent shorter hospitalization time ■ More rapid overall recovery.
