“I didn’t have much knowledge about this trafficking problem until this project,� says Mikhala Culbreth. “The one thing that came to my mind when I thought of these little girls and young women was dolls. When you see a mistreated or broken doll, that is what these girls are. Toys – especially dolls for girls – bring joy to kids, so I wanted to show what can happen when they are forced to grow up too fast like in the trafficking world.�

Robbins’ piece, “Invisible Chains,� shows a figure whose arms are bound by the words abuse, HIV, addiction and rejection. “This is meant to highlight how modern human trafficking/slavery often relies on psychological chains rather than physical ones. Victims may seem like they can run away at any time, but drug dependence and fear of further abuse often ‘chains’ them to their abusers.� Photos

Steve Hall gets Haslam money bomb By Betty Bean Despite never being a favorite of the Republican establishment, Steve Hall served two terms on City Council and two terms in the state House and was putting up other people’s signs for years before he ever ran for office. Closely associated with former state Sen. Stacey Campfield, Hall has always been an outsider, perhaps best illustrated by his 2006 run against incumbent Knox County Mayor Mike Ragsdale. He didn’t win, but he gave Ragsdale a brisk and unexpected challenge. The Campfield relationship plus some missteps during Hall’s second House term – like landing on the wrong side of a controversy

over changing Middlebrook Pike’s scenic highway designation at the behest of a new Tennova hospital facility and seeming to entertain conversation about selling Lakeshore Park – were a gift to his challenger, Martin Daniel, who ended up taking the seat in 2014. This year it’s Daniel who’s on the defensive after a string of intemperate public comments and an inclination to involve himself in the inner workings of the University of Tennessee, and July finds him with three primary opponents – Hall, longtime Campfield operative Bryan Dodson and attorney James Corcoran. Like Hall, Dodson is a grizzled veteran of many Campfield cam-

paigns and served as a legislative aide to Campfield before being removed from his job by Senate Speaker Ron Ramsey, who accused him of campaigning while on the taxpayers’ clock. Corcoran, 36, is a fresh-faced newcomer who charts a different course from the other three, who all appear to be fighting to claim the title as most conservative. He supports Insure Tennessee and gives thoughtful answers to questions like “What do you think of the effects of repealing the Hall income tax?� His answer, given at a recent League of Women Voters forum, was: “I probably would have left the

Hall income tax in place if I had complete control of the world.� But he said he realizes the people of Knox County voted to repeal it. “How do you reconcile the loss of millions with the need for millions for healthcare, education and infrastructure?� Daniel, a non-practicing attorney who owns a billboard company, commands a paid crew of doorknockers and said at the League of Women Voters forum that he’s knocked on 15,000 doors over the past six weeks. He frequently boasts that he sponsored legislation that was named “best bill of

Judge OKs Ridgecrest cell tower By Sandra Clark Fountain City residents may be getting that 150foot telecommunications tower on Ridgecrest Drive after all. The project was rejected by Knoxville City Council, but Branch Towers appealed to federal court. Last week, U.S. District Judge Thomas Phillips granted the company’s motion for summary judgment and issued an injunction “compelling the city to approve the plaintiffs’ application and issue the appropriate permits requested therein.� Council member Nick Della Volpe, who represents the community, was disappointed with the ruling, which the city is not likely to appeal. Kelly Ellenburg and Phyllis Severance were leaders against the tower, approved by the Metropolitan Planning Commission on an 8-5 vote

last August. Della Volpe then led the ďŹ ght against it on appeal to City Council. Mary D. Miller, representing Branch Towers, said the company investigated eight other sites but could not ďŹ nd an alternative for client TMobile to share antenna locations. And property owner Diane Corey made an emotional appeal to be allowed to lease her property for the incomeproducing tower. Della Volpe suggested that MPC consultant Larry Perry’s work was inadequate. “He said this site met the requirements, but he didn’t investigate alternative sites,â€? said Della Volpe. “He said he wasn’t paid to do so.â€? Thus, Judge Phillips held that Branch Towers had made its case and the opponents including City Council had not refuted it.

Byy Carol B Caroll Z. Shane Common wisdom says the human body is built to move, and the beneďŹ ts of exercise are well known. East Tennessee’s YMCA is interested in the health and well-being of all its members, including those with Type 2 diabetes. Move Well Today is a lowcost exercise program designed especially for those with the chronic disease. Described as a 12-week ďŹ t-

Tennessee diet and lifestyle. Speaking of the potential Type 2 diabetes epidemic in our area, Canges says, “We wanted to be in front of it.� Each session includes cardio, strength training and stretching. Bloodglucose levels are checked at the beginning and end of each class. While each person’s reaction may differ, blood-glucose levels almost always go down since, Beard says, “exercise has an insulin-like effect.� “The trade-off between the cardio and the resistance seems to give the best result,� says Canges. Rebecca Shular started the program in March 2015. Originally participating in water aerobics for physical therapy after knee-replacement surgery, she discovered Move Well Today when she mentioned her Type 2 diabetes to an instructor, who encouraged her to enroll in the program. Though she disliked exercise, she tried it. “I said I wasn’t going to come back,� she says with a grin, “but now they can’t get rid of me.� Shular’s A1c levels have dropped from 8.6 to 6.5. “My doctor sings my praises,� she says, “and it’s all because of these classes.� “And your hard work!� says Canges. “What shocked me more than anything was the daily numbers,� says Shular. “That made a real believer out of me.� The cost is low enough to motivate even the most reluctant participant – $50 for members, $100 for nonmembers – for 12 weeks of

HALLS/FOUNTAIN CITY Shopper news • JULY 20, 2016 • A-3

Good to be home Hi, gang. Remember me? To paraphrase Mark Twain’s old line, reports of my demise were highly exaggerated. No, nobody declared me dead. But some days it felt like it. A little more than three years ago, I underwent a routine tonsillectomy and partial turbinectomy. Removing tonsils was no problem. I couldn’t talk for two weeks, the world was a better place for it, and I got to eat a lot of popsicles and watch a lot of silly television. After I recovered and returned to work, I began to have a rash of migraine headaches. Didn’t think much about that at first, but by the end of the year, I was seeking medical treatment once every four to five weeks. It got worse. Finally, in April 2014, I had to take a leave of absence. I thought I’d be gone for four weeks.

Jake Mabe

Five surgeries, 27 months and a lot of prayers later, here I am. My medical ordeal isn’t news, but I did want to pass along a few things. First of all, if you or anyone you know has to have sinus surgery for any reason that involves trimming or removing turbinates – small flaps in your nose that moisten the air you inhale – tell them my story and to be cautious. Turns out the turbinectomy caused nerve damage, which in turn caused me to have constant, debilitating migraines for more than two years. This isn’t an issue of malpractice. It’s a risk of the surgery. Talk to your doctor and weigh the potential pluses

and minuses. I also learned something I really already knew. We’ve got a heck of a great community. You wouldn’t believe the people who called, sent cards and letters, put me on prayer lists and regularly sent words of encouragement on Facebook. (Turns out that crazy thing is good for something after all.) I’ll forever be grateful to and thankful for so many people who were kinder to me than I deserve. It’s humbling. It kept me going. I saw a series of doctors who without exception took an interest in my unusual case and helped me to the best of their abilities. I won’t mention them for legal reasons, but I owe a couple of them all the gold in California. And my family and friends and co-workers – well, I already knew you all were the best. Going through an experience like this also changes your priorities and your thinking on life. It’s amazing the things we take for granted – being able to eat

in a restaurant or, heck, being able to get out of a dark room in the morning. And, as corny as it may sound, you really do learn not to sweat the small stuff. But, as rough as my experience was, it’s a drop in the bucket compared to those who are fighting cancer or Alzheimer’s or any number of other things. Several longtime friends passed away while I was sick. They are missed. I didn’t realize just how important a lot of you are to me, either. Covering your stories or your club meetings or your spaghetti supper was a bigger part of my life than I realized, and I’ve missed them and many of you. I hope to see you someday soon. I’m not back full time, but I’ll be working as an independent contractor and be more or less back on the community beat that I covered for most of 16 years while I continue to get better. So, if you’ve got a good story to tell or an event coming up, send me a note at JakeMabe1@aol.com. It’s good to be home.

James Corcoran and Martin Daniel the year� without mentioning who bestowed the award or what the bill did. It came from the Family Action Council of Tennessee, headed by former legislator David Fowler, and changed the Uniform Administrative Procedures Act by requiring state agencies to submit their rules and regulations to the House and Senate Government Operations Committee for review. It also gives the committees the right to initiate action to repeal regulations, thus slowing the process of regulating things

like billboards. Perhaps the most curious turn the campaign has taken is the sudden money bomb Hall has received from the Haslam family and friends. At a time when Daniel is lending his campaign money from his own pocket, Hall has been gifted with hefty contributions from Natalie Haslam, James Haslam II and III, Ann Haslam Bailey and husband Steve plus Haslam followers Raja Jubran and Sharon Pryse. Hall doesn’t look like such an outsider on his last financial disclosure.

Tennessee winning formula: Get smart If Tennessee is going to win big football games, take the SEC East title and maybe stick its nose into the national playoff, it must: a. Improve the downfield passing game. b. Find a left offensive tackle to protect the quarterback’s backside. c. Refine receiver techniques and get the right guys on the field. d. Get smarter. Some other week I’ll choose interlocking a, b and c for a spirited discussion. This week the pick is d. For some strange reason, I keep using the 2015 Florida game as an illustration of everything. Thank you, Mike, for the hi-def recorder with reverse, frame by frame, pause to ponder and get on with it.

Marvin West

Even though Tennessee lost by one, I will not further annoy Butch Jones by dwelling on his extra-point decision when the Vols were up by 12 with 10:19 to play and should have gone for two. Let us, instead, annoy the coach by examining fourthquarter, fourth-down defense. The Vols, time after time, chose a conservative cover strategy, rush three linemen and drop off an end into a spy position just in

case Gator quarterback Will Grier suddenly became Tim Tebow. We now know the spy was essentially wasted which means Tennessee played 10 against 11 in the clutch. Florida learned to like that. Five times Florida went for it on fourth down. Five times Florida made it. This is not guesswork. It is from the digital review. Gator conversions came on fourth and 2, fourth and 6, fourth and 8, fourth and 7 and fourth and14. OK, I hear you screaming, you can argue that the spy had some small value on four of those plays because the quarterback might, just possibly, have scrambled for sufficient gains. No way was he going to run for 14 with

time running short and the weight of the world on his shoulders. Grier didn’t run. He threw a pass that turned into a touchdown. Ah yes, the touchdown, 63 yards, key play of last season. Almost everything that could go wrong went wrong for Tennessee. Grier had plenty of time to stand around in the pocket, look left, then throw right to Antonio Calloway, maybe a step past the first-down marker. The first law of crisis defense is don’t let anyone get behind you. The Vols didn’t. Calloway was right there in front of several who might have made the tackle. One Vol forget his eyediscipline and looked the

wrong way. Two came up fast but with incorrect angles. Brandon Powell contributed a great block. Callaway made a little loop toward the sideline and ran away. The extra point was good. Florida thus seized victory from the proverbial jaws of defeat, toppling Tennessee for the 11th consecutive season. Jalen Hurd was 8 years old and Josh Dobbs, Cameron Sutton and Jalen Reeves-Maybin were 9 the last time the Vols won. Coach Jones’ best explanation of what went wrong in 2015 was that each fourth down play had a story of its own. He saw a combination of mistakes, fractured instructions, misread situations, not remembering

what the scouting report said Florida was likely to run. The obvious repair? Get smart. Coach didn’t mention the three-man rush and no pressure on the quarterback or what might have been. Be sure it crossed his mind. Could be the change in defensive coordinators went back to those five successful Florida fourth downs in that fatal fourth quarter. Could be, in a similar situation, the new strategist will send the house. If the blitz works, could be Tennessee will look smarter this season. That would be one way to win more games.

New law promotes guns, says sponsor Let me start by saying I don’t like guns. I’ve never liked them, and I like them less this week than I did last week, and less than I did a year ago. The issue of guns, of who should be able to carry them and when, is going to influence my vote in both the August and November elections. So it’s interesting that I would receive an assignment from my editor to research a bill that was brought up at a meeting she attended – a bill that would either punish or protect owners of businesses that prohibit firearms and/or those who don’t – she wasn’t sure which. It’s no wonder there was confusion. Senate Bill 1736, which took effect July 1, reads: “A person, business, or other entity that owns, controls, or manages prop-

Wendy Smith

erty and has the authority to prohibit weapons on that property by posting, pursuant to § 39-17-1359, shall be immune from civil liability with respect to any claim based on such person’s, business’s, or other entity’s failure to adopt a policy that prohibits weapons on the property by posting pursuant to § 39-17-1359.â€? When I read online comments about this bill, it became clear that I wasn’t the only one who didn’t understand it. So I called its sponsor, state Rep. Jeremy Faison (R-Cosby), who was kind enough to return my

call and explain it to me. Simply put, business owners who have the right to prohibit weapons on the premises, but choose not to, are immune from civil liability if someone comes in and starts shooting. It encourages businesses to allow people to carry guns, he says. What makes the bill even more confusing is its original wording. It would’ve required business owners who post signage prohibiting firearms on a property, “for purposes of liability, to accept custodial responsibility for the safety and defense of any handgun carry permit holder harmed while on the posted property.� Thank goodness it didn’t pass in that form, which sounds like a threat. Faison used the party line to explain the need for the bill. All mass shootings

like those at Sandy Hook, Aurora and Charleston take place in gun-free zones, he said. Thus, we’d be safer without gun-free zones. There isn’t an antidote for mass shootings. Maybe one more gun in the Pulse Nightclub in Orlando would have saved lives, but one more gun in the hands of a young gang member in Knoxville could just as easily result in one more senseless death, and those types of shootings are much more common. Faison says it’s the fault of the “liberal media� that we don’t know about all the lives that have been saved by law-abiding, gun-carrying citizens. If you know any of these stories, please tell me. Until then, my opinion, and my vote, will continue to be swayed by my dislike for guns.

Lamar credits Dunn with help on drug bill U.S. Sen. Lamar Alexander has credited state Rep, Bill Dunn and others at a recent Knoxville roundtable for revising federal law to reduce opioid use. “Each year, more than 1,000 Tennesseans die from opioid abuse or overdose — this epidemic takes more Tennessee lives than car accidents or gunshots do,� he said. Alexander chairs the Senate committee that initiated the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act that passed both houses and was sent to President Obama. This battle won’t be won in Washington, he said, but “on the front lines state by state, county by county, doctor’s office by doctor’s office.�

Pat Summitt chewed me out (and I lived to talk about it) Like hundreds – maybe thousands – of East Tennesseans, I knew Pat Summitt. I was not in her inner circle and we didn’t hang out, but I wrote feature stories about her and her teams for more than a decade, for a couple of different publications including this one, and I liked her the from the first time we spoke. Didn’t everybody? That’s why I’ll never forget the time she took me to the woodshed. It was the fall of 2004 and her prize freshman class had reported to campus. Candace Parker, Alexis Hornbuckle, Nicky Anosike, Sade Wiley-Gatewood and Alex Fuller. It was a class for the ages, right up there with Tamika Catchings’ 1997 class, and Pat guarded them like they were precious gemstones. I’d read everything in print about these kids, which was nearly a full-time job because they’d gotten a tsunami of publicity. Three of them had been named national Player of the Year by different organizations, and they were all high school All-Americans. I was particularly fascinated by

Betty Bean Anosike, the child of Nigerian immigrants who had grown up desperately poor and fatherless in a Staten Island housing project with her brothers and sisters and a hard-working mother who put herself through nursing school and knew the value of education. “Big Nick� was a 6-4 honor student who moved through crowds like an African queen. I’d read plenty about her in the New York media. Pat had talked to me off the record about this group, from whom she expected great things. I put something together about them, and included the observation that Anosike was the only member of the class who didn’t have a cell phone. A day or so later, I got a startling phone call. “Betty, this is Pat Summitt and I need to talk to you. Got a minute?� Sure, I said, noting the

also a reality. Just this May, there were 32 arrests on charges related to human trafficking. According to District Attorney Charme Allen, there have been 118 opiate-related deaths in Knox County this year. Drug addiction is driving crime, filling our jails and harming innocent children. As director of program operations and development at Childhelp, I see firsthand the horrors of child abuse, the devastation of human trafficking and the increase in child endangerment related to drug abuse. I have unique insight into the problems facing our community and the experience necessary to address them in a fiscally-responsible way. Following graduation from UT in finance, I spent 14 years with the Walt Disney Company. After starting at the front desk of a resort, I was soon promoted into leadership roles in resort management, and later in sales and marketing. Dis-

ney taught me the value of customer relations, as well as commitment to financial results. I set and managed an extensive budget, and, in my last job, was responsible for nearly $70 million in revenue in six years. Since then, I have served on the board of a successful startup and have turned Childhelp Tennessee from a position of financial uncertainty to one of stability. This has provided the opportunity to find solutions for the problems facing Knox County and the business acumen to move us forward in a fiscally responsible way. Knox County has $615 million in debt. Currently, 47 cents of our $2.32 property tax rate goes to debt service. We must maintain a business-friendly environment that continues to grow our tax base, pay down debt and invest in community safety and education. We need a safety center to stabilize the mentally ill and addicted as an alternative to jail, with a case man-

agement component following treatment. Our county’s leaders must continue to push to make such a center a reality. To prepare for future growth, we must review our fire protection plan for unincorporated parts of Knox County. Education should also be a priority. As a generation of technical workers retires from DOE and other jobs in Oak Ridge, we must have an educated workforce ready to fill those jobs. Our workforce must also have STEM and technical skills to recruit new industry to the area. Knox County, and particularly the 4th District, has opportunities facing us. We need leadership that understands how to find solutions to the problems that we face in a fiscally-responsible way. My background provides that real-world experience to move Knox County forward. Hugh Nystrom is the Republican nominee for Knox County Commission from District 4. The Democratic nominee is Marleen Davis.

Free Digital Library: Teachers have developed a free application on iTunes U to provide learning

resources for 14 high school courses that are aligned to Tennessee standards. Knox County teachers involved include: Susan Bothman, Misty Brown, Darryl Fannon, Paula Franklin, Amy Lyttle and Tressie Norton. Classes include algebra I

and II; biology; chemistry; economics; English I, II, III and IV; geometry; government; physical science; and U.S. and world history. Online content will reduce textbook costs and can be updated frequently. So goodbye, Pluto, as the ninth planet.

edge to her voice. Then she lit into me, telling me that she’d talked to me about the freshmen in confidence and I had let her down. She was hot, and I was thankful that I wasn’t sitting in front of her, withering under the famous blue glare. Almost tongue-tied, I stammered an apology and didn’t attempt a defense – something I regretted as soon as we hung up. The last thing she said was that she was disappointed in me because she considered me a friend. Once the shock wore off,

School board beat By Sandra Clark The biggest news from Knox County Schools last week was the departure of Melissa Tindell (formerly Ogden), the district’s public affairs director. She announced on Facebook that

she’s leaving to take a communications job with Christian Academy of Knoxville. Tindell handles public relations professionally and has done well for Knox County Schools. She’ll be great for CAK.

City Council politics Vice Mayor Duane Grieve only has 17 months left on City Council, but next year could be a busy one for him should Rogero vacate the mayor’s office by accepting a position in a possible Hillary Clinton administration. If that happened, Grieve would immediately become interim mayor for 10 days until City Council meets to set the date of the special election to elect a new mayor for the unexpired term and to pick a longer-term interim mayor, which could be Grieve or one of the other eight council members. In this case, there would be a special citywide election to fill the post as more than 10 months are left in the Rogero term (it runs to December 2019). Both council members Marshall Stair and George Wallace are considered potential candidates. Others mentioned include former mayoral aide Eddie Mannis, current mayoral aide Indya Kincannon and Alvin Nance, former head of KCDC. Grieve, too, is mentioned. The timing depends on when a potential Rogero appointment occurs and if it requires U.S. Senate confirmation, which will delay a quick appointment. However, the councilchosen interim mayor would serve only a few months. Grieve sought the position in 2011 when Bill Haslam resigned. Grieve lost to Daniel Brown by just one vote. If Grieve’s five votes, which picked him to be vice mayor, stick with him again, he will have the interim mayor position locked up for a few months. If Grieve becomes interim mayor, he will have to resign as vice mayor, and Council will elect a new vice mayor. However, for interim mayor only nine persons are eligible: the nine council members. Former Mayor Daniel Brown could seek the post again on the grounds he has experience and did the duties well. Interestingly, when Brown defeated Grieve by one vote in 2011, two other Sequoyah Hills residents served on council besides Grieve: Marilyn Roddy and Joe Bailey. Both voted

I pulled up all the stories I’d read about Anosike and her family and compiled the details that I’d used in my own account. Then I printed it out and dropped it off at Pat’s office with a note of explanation. A day or two later, I got another call. Pat accepted my proof and I was off the hook. I was beyond relieved and, for the first time, was able to savor one of the things she’d said to me. That she considered me a friend. And that made the whole kerfuffle worthwhile.

Leadership must find solutions The Knox County of my childhood was a Norman Rockwell painting: a safe home, loving parents, trusted friends. Unfor tunately, this is not reality for many Hugh Nystrom in our community today, including the 4th District where I grew up and now live. Unlike the Norman Rockwell image I remember, serious problems impact our community every day. In Knox County, child abuse is a growing problem. Last year, there were 1,456 reported cases, involving children in all socio-economic groups and all areas of the county. Of these cases, 928 were alleged sexual abuse, and 226 involved drug endangerment. Just 10 years ago, we had only 20 cases of drug endangerment. Human trafficking is

for Brown over Grieve, and Bailey was elected vice mayor to replace Bob Becker who had resigned from council. This is all occurring as five current council members conclude their service and five districts pick new council members for the city. Grieve, for the record, does not believe Rogero will depart the mayor’s office in 2017. ■Frank Barnett, longtime Knoxville attorney and Winfield Dunn aide, died last week. He was also governor of American Samoa appointed by Secretary of Interior Rogers Morton. ■Ellen Bebb, wife of term-limited council member Finbarr Saunders, is a talented artist. Her paintings are generally landscapes and are extraordinarily well done. She hopes to have an exhibit and sale soon. She has been instrumental in the political success of her husband but says politics is not for her. ■Mayor Rogero’s announced neighborhood walks program actually copies an idea first put forward by council member Marshall Stair, who attended a walkability conference in Atlanta. One of these walks had already occurred a few weeks ago in Bearden when four Council members participated including Stair, Saunders, Wallace and Grieve. It has been said that plagiarism is the sincerest form of flattery, so Stair must feel very flattered, although the mayor did not credit Stair with the idea. ■Early voting is well underway, with totals so far behind totals in the March 1 primaries. The most hotly contested races are for County Commission and the West Knoxville GOP primary for state Representative among state Rep. Martin Daniel, James Corcoran, Bryan Dodson and Steve Hall. The actual primary date is Aug. 4.

Dr. Jim McIntyre made 21 administrative appointments before his resignation took effect, and while there was talk that some might be reversed, none have. Unless, of course, there’s no one to post to the website with Melissa Tindell gone.

Summer fun at Windsor Gardens

Heiskell seniors enjoy barbecue, goodie bags The Community/Senior Center in Powell hosted their monthly meeting last week and enjoyed a delicious barbecue lunch thanks to Buddy Coomer and staff at Mynatt Funeral Home. Coomer talked briefly with the group (no sales pitch here) about the family-owned facility which offers pre-arrangement consultations, a range of service options and great customer service provided. Coomer answered many questions from the senior adults, including, “Should I gather the photos that I want used at my funeral now?� Coomer answered with a smile, “Only if you don’t plan on taking any more photos of yourself.� The group shared a laugh and Coomer added,

“I know your husband and it may be best if you gather them up now and put them in a folder.� Following the presentation, staff members Katie Buckner and Christi Robbins handed out gift bags filled with a tote bag, lighted keychain, candy, lotion and other items to each person in attendance, while Robby Bacon helped set up a delicious spread for lunch. The seniors will hold a rummage sale from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Friday, July 22, and Saturday, July 23, at the center. All proceeds from the sale will help with expenses at the center. There will be no bingo on Thursday, July 21, as the group sets up for the sale. The center is open daily from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and

Death of a butterfly Even in his servants he puts no trust, and his angels he charges with error; how much more those who live in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, who are crushed like a moth. (Job 4: 18-19 NRSV) I can’t explain why it made such an impression on me. Weeks have passed, and it still haunts me. We were on a trip, and pulled off into a rest area for a few minutes. I walked across the parking lot to buy a soft drink, and there on the hot asphalt was a monarch butterfly. It seemed to be struggling: its folding and unfolding wings were moving more and more slowly. I hesitated to touch it, knowing that I could damage its wings. Ultimately, I went back to our vehicle and retrieved a piece of paper. I slid the paper carefully under the butterfly and moved it over to a shady patch of grass. I watched for a few moments, then admitted to myself that I had no other help to offer. I turned away, sadly, and my husband and I went on our way. Butterflies are not mentioned in the Bible. Moths show up with regularity in Scripture, but that is a whole ’nother animal. I did some research on butterflies in the Holy Land. The Swedish scientist Linnaeus discovered 26 different butterflies in Palestine in 1758! Current science counts 71 different kinds of butterflies in Israel. I marvel that the writers of Scripture – particularly the psalmists – never thought to extol the beauty and fragility of butterflies! I think about “my� butterfly every time I see another fluttering fold of sky. I give thanks for God’s gift to us: brightly colored, extremely fragile wings that remind us of a Creator who loves beauty!

The Best in the World

Written by Marc Talbert and Illustrated by Betsy James

CHAPTER TWO: STORY SO FAR: Nick and his best friend, Clay, have decided to write their own book of world records – in which they hold all the records. “What record should we try for first?� Nick repeated. “Something nobody’s ever done before?� Clay asked. “Like seeing how many jelly beans we can stuff in our mouths?� Nick puffed out

his cheeks until his eyes squinted. “Naw,� Clay said. “Too easy. And I bet it’s been done.� “What if we did it standing on our heads? Only black ones?� “Get real!� Clay said. “I hate black ones and I don’t want to choke on jelly beans and die upside down making a record for some book. Even ours. There’s gotta be something else!

us the richest kids in the world.� “There are lots of rich kids in the world,� Nick said. “You just have to be born rich.� “ B u t maybe we could make a record for becoming rich kids by making the most money in a day. Or in a couple hours.� N i c k thought for a moment. Getting rich and setting a record sounded like a pretty awesome combination. He nodded. “Maybe. But how can we make that much money?� Before Clay could answer, Nick heard his mother calling for him. “Ma-a-an!� he muttered. “Coming!� he called, running. “What does she want?� Clay asked, puffing alongside Nick. Nick shrugged and leaped up the steps to the back porch. All he knew was, whenever his mother called, she meant business. Opening the screen door, Nick and Clay were hit by the smell of just-baked chocolate chip cookies. Nick’s 4-year-old sister, Jazz for Jasmine, was sitting at the kitchen table, staring at a huge pile of cookies. His mother had called him in to have cookies with Jazz? Give me a break! he thought. Jazz looked up. “What took you so long?� Nick’s mother turned from washing a mixing bowl. “That was fast!� She smiled. “I told Jazz she couldn’t have any until you two were here.� Jazz reached for a cookie, but Nick was faster. Clay took a bite and smiled at Nick’s mother. The chocolate smeared on his teeth made him look dangerous. “These are great!� he said. He turned to Nick. “Maybe we should see how many of these puppies we can eat in a minute. Or an hour. Or a year!� “Why would you want to do that?� Nick’s mother asked. “To be the best in the world at something,� Nick answered. “But you’re already the best in the world at something.� “Yeah?� Nick wondered if she was poking fun at them. “Yes. Nick, you’re the best in the world at being yourself. And you, Clay, are the best at being yourself!� Both Nick and Clay groaned. What a mother-thing to say! Her face turned serious. “Nick, I need to get some work done around here, so I want you to look after Jazz for the next few

hours.� Nick was about to say no, when she interrupted. “And I want you to pick up some things at the grocery store for me.� She took a list from her pocket, and a twenty-dollar bill. “For doing me such a big favor, you can keep the change after you’ve bought everything.� Before Nick could protest, Clay blurted, “Sure thing!� “Thanks for being a good sport, Clay,� said Nick’s mother. Feeling grumpy at his mother and Clay, Nick took the list and the money. He reached for two more cookies, daring his mother to say no. She didn’t. “Come on, Jazz.� He held out his other hand. Her hand was as warm as the cookies. Clay nabbed two cookies on his way to the door. “See you later,� he called, slipping outside. “What’s on the list?� he whispered as they rounded the corner of the house. He took it from Nick and read. “We’re on our way to making a ton of money,� he said handing it back. “This record’s going to be a cinch.� “How’s that?� “My mom’s got everything that your mom needs. Except the toilet paper. We’ll keep the twenty bucks for our world record!� “Isn’t that stealing?� Nick asked. “It’s not stealing if you take stuff that’s yours, is it?� “But that stuff doesn’t belong to just you,� Nick replied. “So I won’t eat chips or drink soda for a week. That should make up for my part of it,� Clay countered. They were headed for Clay’s house and stopped to wait for a red light. Cattycorner, a man stood facing traffic, holding a piece of cardboard for passing cars to see. Nick read, “Hungry and Homeless.� A car rolled to a stop. The man nodded his thanks as the driver handed him money. “His clothes aren’t raggedy. Not even dirty,� Clay said, nodding toward the man. “He must make a ton of money.� Jazz tugged at Nick’s hand. “Nick?� she asked. “Just a minute,� Nick answered, gripping Jazz’s hand tighter. He looked at Clay. “So?� “So. He just gave me an idea. For making a ton of money.� Nick frowned. The light turned green. What was Clay getting them into now? (To be continued)

Blowing giant bubbles

Youths enjoy Kids’ Movie Day

Libraries across Knox County have spent the summer hosting fun activities and guests to help beat the summer boredom.

More than 500 children from the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Tennessee Valley, Big Brothers, Big Sisters of East Tennessee and other youth groups enjoyed a July outing to the Tennessee Theatre as part of the second annual Youth Arts Alliance Kids’ Movie Day. When the children arrived, they were greeted and given a brief history of the theater, a 1920s movie palace. Popcorn and a coloring sheet of the theater were provided for guests by the Historic Tennessee Theatre Foundation. Tennessee Theatre historian and house organist Bill Snyder played classic songs on the Mighty Wurlitzer organ, giving the children an opportunity to experience a movie at the theater as it would have been shown in 1928. Following the concert, the 1979 film “The Muppet Movie� was shown. “For many of these kids, this is their first time at the Tennessee Theatre, and we hope to make it a special experience for them,� Becky

Ruth White

Last week, Fountain City Library hosted Giant Bubbles. Guests were able to create their own bubble wands from pipe cleaners, string and straws. Once the wands were created, the group headed outside for bubble-blowing fun. The crowd at the event was big, and the bubbles blown were even bigger. Elizabeth Poole was patient with her efforts, and one of her bubbles stretched close to 6 feet long.

Hancock, Tennessee Theatre executive director said. The Boys & Girls Clubs of the Tennessee Valley has 20 clubs throughout its service area, with summer programming that allows children to have fun and continue to advance educational goals while school is out. Fields trips to cultural sites like the Tennessee Theatre help achieve both goals. The clubs are sending approximately 500 school-aged kids from the clubs at Western Heights, Montgomery Village, Walter P. Taylor Homes, Norwood Elementary School, Carter, Haslam Teen Center, Halls/ Powell, North Anderson County, Lonsdale Elementary School, Middlebrook, Vestal, North Ridge Crossing, Haslam Family Club University and Lenoir City. “This field trip will be a fun way to help educate our kids about the history and architecture of downtown Knoxville,� said John Lasher, area director for the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Tennessee.

A city recycling facility now occupies the property where Trinity Business Group wants to put a mulch transfer station.

Northside neighbors team to win at MPC sion last week. Representatives of the Oakwood Lincoln Park, Old North and Emoriland neighborhoods were able to fend off – or at least limit – two unwanted businesses

By Betty Bean Nobody’s doing a victory dance, but a new coalition of North Knoxville neighborhood representatives had a pretty good day at Metropolitan Planning Commis-

proposed for their vicinity. First up was Trinity Business Group’s proposal to install a “first grind” mulch storage facility on a five-acre tract off Morelia Avenue. The property, which is on

the north side of heavily populated Oakwood Lincoln Park’s C.B. Atkins Addition, now is home to city contractor Go Green Recycling and has long been considered a neighborhood eyesore. It is

Bob Bryant of Powell talked about his work with ASEA during the business spotlight at the Powell Business and Professional Association’s July meeting. ASEA is a dietary supplement that strengthens your cells. “It’s an important discovery for health,” he said. The supplement is basically salt and water in which “core free-floating atoms of NA-CL-H-O are reassembled to exactly match the balanced molecules that the body already produces,” Bob Bryant according to the brochure. ASEA holds over 30 U.S. and international patents on the process, and each batch is certified by BioAgilytix, a third-party laboratory that partners with eight of the top 10 pharmaceutical and biotech companies in the world. Bryant is an independent agent. He can be reached at 865-659-6318 or bobbryant.teamasea.com.

Charlie Thomas, a newly appointed MPC commissioner, conceded King’s point that mulching is a valid business but said this is the wrong place to put it. Lauren Rider of Old North Knoxville reminded the commissioners of recent mulch-pile fires: “Let’s not compound past mistakes. This has grown into an industrial area, but the houses were there first. It’s bad now, so why not keep it bad? It could be something wonderful someday.” Commissioner Laura Cole moved to deny the rezoning request, and her motion was approved by a 12-2 vote. In the other matter of concern to the northside coalition, the applicant, who intends to install a pawn shop in the former Harry Lane used-car lot at 3515 N. Broadway, withdrew his request for C-4 zoning (an “anything goes” designation that allows for a wide variety of outdoor displays). He settled instead for C-3, which is more restrictive and doesn’t allow outdoor displays of merchandise. His proposal was approved 12-2.

zoned Light Industrial, and Trinity Business Group was requesting a change to Heavy Industrial, which allows for processing of yard waste. The applicant’s lawyer, John King, said the proposed facility would be a reduction transfer facility that will serve the public’s interests. He said the ground-up waste would be picked up by trucks and hauled to other facilities for further processing and said this client is going to use an indoor grinding process that will produce “less fumes and noise.” Codes require H-1 zoning for this kind of facility. King said there would be around 24 trucks in and out of the property per day but promised that his client will improve the appearance of the property. He complained that the city “… wants a service, then restricts where you can do it.” Deborah Thomas, representing the OLP neighborhood, was unconvinced, observing that the trucks, which will be coming off Central Avenue two blocks to the west, will be operated by contractors who are unlikely to be accountable for problems they cause.

The Muse helps children live smart, stay well The Muse opened a new exhibit last weekend that features three central themes to educate children and families on playing smart, eating smart and being well. The goal for the new health and wellness exhibit is to promote health literacy and personal re-

sponsibility for health. “‘Live Smart, Stay Well!’ is an interactive and educational learning landscape that will inspire lifelong choices that families make in regards to healthy eating, active lifestyles and regular wellness check-ups. We are excited to serve our

community in this way,” said Ellie Kittrell, executive director of The Muse Knoxville. The Muse completed its capital campaign for the exhibit in late June with a $25,000 grant from the Siddiqi Charitable Foundation. The purpose of the

foundation is to promote the health and wellness of the residents of East Tennessee and Appalachia. Kittrell says, “Their significant support of the exhibit represents the foundation’s commitment to this mission’s importance to our youngest citizenry.”

Knoxville Police chief David Rausch says officer Joshua Dykes is “trusted and respected” and “embodies what a true law enforcement professional is.” The Rotary Club of Farragut agreed and presented Dykes its prestigious 2016 Service Above Self award. This is the 12th year Farragut Rotary has honored an emergency-services professional in recognition of work Joshua Dykes that goes far above and beyond the call of duty. Rausch nominated Dykes and explained why the 10-year veteran of the force deserved the honor, although he admitted how “bittersweet” it was, since Dykes is about to leave KPD to attend law school at Lincoln Memorial University. Dykes was named KPD Officer of the Year in 2015. His accomplishments are many, covering a wide range of experiences. He helped save the life of a 2-year-old who was having a seizure. A man eating at Cracker Barrel was choking on food; six thrusts of the Heimlich maneuver later, Dykes had dislodged the food and saved his life. That earned him the department’s Life Saving Award. During a resident check on a freezing January day in 2015, he found a woman in her late 80s with no heat, no food and no family. He went to a store and bought food for her and her pets and notified KUB to get her utilities restored. He continues to check on her. Rausch also nominated Dykes because of the officer’s investigative work in arresting suspects involved in fraud and felony theft, working with the fire department’s arson investigators, and Dykes’ work with the Crime Suppression Initiative in East Knoxville. “Officer Dykes is a well-rounded officer who was able to show compassion and caring for those in need, as well as doing outstanding investigative work for our community,” said Rausch. Dykes became a little emotional in accepting the award. “This is a great honor, and I don’t know how to express my thanks,” he said. “I was just doing my job. I am really going to miss the chief and the department.” Let’s add, “And a job well done, officer!” ■

Tom and Carol Bailey talk with Gerald Green, executive director of the Metropolitan Planning Commission. Photos by S. Clark

Planning for the future of East Knox County By Sandra Clark Residents of East Knox County gathered Sunday at the Carter Senior Center to share ideas about the future of their community. It was a convivial group, the mood lightened by giant scoops of Cruze Farm ice cream (peach and vanilla). Their ideas will be posted online at knoxmpc.org/ plans/small-area/eastcounty, where others may also comment. Organizers will return in October with a plan. Gerald Green, executive director, said the Metropolitan Planning Commission didn’t have the resources to complete the study but hired consultants with targeted county funding to do so. East Tennessee Community Design Center, led by Wayne Blasius and Leslie Fawaz, is handling community input. Don Kostelec, a certified planner based

in Asheville, N.C., will develop the plan, assisted by Kristy Carter, a transportation planner, and Bill Bruce from East Knox County. All were at Sunday’s meeting. Kostelec said, “Instead of looking just at what government can do, we’ll also look toward community groups like conservancy organizations for help.” He said planners will “spend a majority of our time” on the priorities identified by residents. One of the seven stations asked for stories from the past. Wayne Whitehead recalled a time when the community rallied to reject a proposed landfill. “We auctioned a billy goat at a fundraiser,” he wrote. Wayne and Connie Whitehead are 35-year residents of East Knox County. Tom Bailey wrote, “Family farm since 1846. Keep it!” Another resident identified “big government” as the area’s challenge and “slow

growth” as its objective. Almost no one could comply with the “one word” request to state today’s challenges and their vision for tomorrow. Some wrote a sentence; a few wrote a paragraph. But all were seriously invested in the process. Will this process and the resulting plan work better than the previous one? The existing East County Sector Plan was disregarded by Knox County Commission to permit rezoning of 345 acres for the Midway Business Park. Green says that’s one of the changes he hopes to bring to MPC. If citizens take time to engage in creating a plan, he hopes elected officials will pay attention. While optimism is good, it’s probably a bad sign that not one elected official dropped by during the first hour of Sunday’s gathering. Not even for the peach ice cream.

Enhance Powell’s meeting was animated with multiple discussions on signage. Pictured are Steven Goodpaster, showing examples to Lee Robbins; Margaret Massey-Cox and John Bayless. Photos by S. Clark

Talk turns to signs for Historic Powell Station By Sandra Clark Steven Goodpaster is a solid contributor to the Powell community. As president of the Broadacres Homeowners Association, he has boosted membership and sustained the landscaping and signage installed by previous president Ed Smith. As a state-certified appraiser, he donated a comprehensive appraisal on an old post office building discovered on the back of property on Spring Street that’s about to change hands. Believed to be one of Powell’s first free-standing postal facilities (maybe the first), the Enhance Powell committee wants to acquire and restore the building for display. And last week, Goodpaster presented a report on existing signage in the area designated as Historic Powell Station. He brought both a hard copy and a PowerPoint show of every sign along Emory Road from Clinton Highway to Powell Drive. Goodpaster’s report was used by Sage Kohler and Justin Bailey to request the East Tennessee Community Design Center to study the “downtown” and make recommendations about

ways to support growth through good design. The Design Center’s staff unanimously agreed to present the project to the group’s board of directors. “There’s no need to blaze a trail,” said Goodpaster. He referred to community design in other cities. “Just google ‘best cities’ and look at places like Franklin, Tenn.” No one is advocating the homogenized look of a Farragut, where the planning commission actually requested Chili’s to lose its trademark red and green to conform to the town’s more muted color scheme. Powell is a railroad town. Commerce grew in spots like J.E. Groner and the Clover Cottage buildings, warehouses and retail stores built so close to the tracks that property lines abut the railroad right-ofway with hardly the width of a county road between (think Depot Drive). But we’re excited to see what the Community Design Center can recommend. And we’re incredibly excited about the new life springing up on Depot Drive. Tune in next week for pictures and commentary on last week’s block party.

New sign for Powell High

Dr. Chad Smith met with Enhance Powell in July to discuss a “new look” including a new sign for Powell High School. “We’re going to focus on branding,” said the one-year principal. He wants more orange and black at PHS and an official “P.” He plans to etch in glass the necessary signage, and remove all paper clutter from doorways, windows and halls. Smith showed examples of digital signs at other schools. The consensus of the group was to go for a monument sign, similar to the one at Alcoa High School, even if the business community has to supplement the money available from school funds. Powell High School received a $100,000 grant from the Haslam Family Foundation, in addition to the new football field. Smith said the faculty decided on priorities and a digital sign was on that list. “It won’t be in by August, but we’ll be moving on it.”

Open letter to Tim Burchett

The church at 1709 Spring St. is just 24 feet from the corner of Powell Elementary School. Completed in 1931, the building was home to Powell United Methodist Church, which relocated to new facilities in 1965.

Change comes to Powell Station By Marvin West Don’t sneak a casual peek and leap to conclusions, but historic Powell Station is changing. New businesses are popping up. Established storefronts look much younger with a layer of fresh paint. If you are interested in how things once were, charge your camera battery. Another landmark is going, going, almost gone. The sturdy brick and somewhat stately Methodist church, 24 feet from the nearest wall of Powell Elementary, is under consideration for purchase by Knox County Schools. If the deal goes through, the building will be torn down and the space will become a parking lot. “I’d hate to see it go,� said Rowena Brown, age 92. “John and I were married there.� Vivid memories came bubbling up. “The church was full and overflowing. Walking down that aisle, I was scared to death. Going the other direction wasn’t so bad. Harry Cooper was seated on the front row of the balcony. He dumped an entire bag of rice on us as we walked out.� Rowena remembers the gasps of surprise and then the cheers and applause. “I’m not sure who swept up the rice.� The William Henry Stooksbury family (including little Rowena) moved to Conner Road in 1934. Construction of Norris Lake forced them from their home between Andersonville and Loyston. “My father worked for

TVA for a while, and after that he was a farmer.â€? Mr. Stooksbury was also a Sunday school teacher. Rowena joined Powell Methodist in 1934, when she was 10. She thought it was such a pretty church. “The stained-glass windows were beautiful. The choir was behind the pulpit, just like it was supposed to be. I started singing in the choir at age 14.â€? The church had 58 members. “Mostly old people.â€? Rowena remembers most of the preachers: Walter Dean, J.P. McCluskey, James Patterson, A.L. Brewster, W.F. Pitts, Joe Dew, Oliver Tarwater, T.M. Bellamy, Charles Hurlock ‌ “Methodists changed preachers pretty often.â€? Rowena remembers Mary Alice Bell playing the piano. She remembers the fun and fellowship of pie suppers, covered-dish picnics and the Christmas season at Powell Methodist

when everybody participated in one way or another. She recalls the celebration of George Washington’s birthday. “I think that was a fundraiser. You had to pay for things.� One of Rowena’s favorite stories is a hand-me-down. “J.E. Groner’s daughter, Irene, wanted to be married in the church, but construction wasn’t complete. The wedding party went down a ladder for the ceremony in the basement.� Roots of the church go back to 1880 and one Sunday service per month in Perkins School. Sometime later, 13 families committed to purchase the property on Spring Street. Construction went on from 1927 until 1931. Fast forward: Betty and Herman Lett joined in 1955. She led the children’s choir. He was church treasurer. “Every Sunday, after lunch, we’d clear the diningroom table and count three

Marvin West invites reader comments. His address is westwest6@netzero.com.

Instead of pushing for road improvements, the term-limited commissioner pushed for nonessential personnel to drive new Knox County-owned SUVs as a personal vehicle with taxpayers’ gas. ‌ Tim, I am appealing to the person I knew as the son of CB and wonderful Mrs. Burchett to do right for the children of the eighth district. Take the money from the sale of the original building site (around $350,000), cut the fat from the budget (how many vehicles does Knox County government need?), sell the many new county-owned SUVs, and cut the budget across the board. Use these funds to four-lane Tazewell Pike and Emory Road a mile each in the four directions from Harbisons Crossroads. This would just be four miles. Gibbs is the only schools with two-lane roads with a turning lane at two schools. I traveled down Middlebrook Pike yesterday from Wright’s Cafeteria to Lovell Road and thought how easy it was for you to go home as to the difficulty I have driving along the parking lots known as Washington Pike and Tazewell Pike, sometimes waiting up to 30 minutes to travel a few yards. The current spin of the term-limited commissioner and Knox County law director will not work with our children deserving a safe environment in school and both in coming and going. – Best, Don Wiser

collections,� said Betty. “We’d do the Sunday school collection, the general collection and the building fund.� The Weigels, who owned the dairy and the forerunners to convenience stores and the big farm that is now Broadacres, were members. So was one of our alltime favorite teachers, Jeanette Evans, and her family. In time, the congregation outgrew the church. “The faithful 50 signed promissory notes to Home Federal to borrow the money for the new church,� said Betty. “As I recall, Mr. Stooksbury’s mule and plow were used to break ground.� Their faith was rewarded. The first service at the new place was the first Sunday in 1965. The Methodists have assembled a beautiful campus. You can see it at 323 West Emory Road. It is called Powell Church.

(Editor’s note: Don Wiser, independent candidate for County Commission from District 8, felt the Shopper gave unfair advantage to incumbent Commissioner Dave Wright in the July 13 edition with the update story on road improvements at Harbisons Crossroads. We offered Wiser space to comment, and he chose this format.) I am writing this open letter to the Tim Burchett that I first came to know at the mulch pile off Loraine Street, to the state representative and senator who told a governor you forgot what you promised the people but I (Burchett) haven’t. I am not writing the person that has become Courthouse-alized. I’m thanking you for the new middle school at Gibbs, though this project is only half done. Both roads at Harbisons Crossroads need to be fourlane in all four directions for at least a mile. Roads are a major cause of accidents and the waiting periods that driver must endure in overcrowded, undersized streets can lead to accident or road rage. It is time someone stood up for the children of the eighth district using these roads to and from school. Under the current termlimited commissioner (served eight years, six months, and twice elected – August 2008 and August 2010 – and appointed February 2008) thousands of our kids have been bused up to 40 miles a day to school.

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

‘Phenomenal’ treatment for Knoxville man battling Stage IV melanoma As an avid outdoorsman, Travis Maryanski of Knoxville was perhaps in the best shape of his life two years ago, when he began a significant battle with cancer. In November 2013, he found a lump under the skin on his neck. Tests revealed it was Stage IV melanoma, a life-threatening type of cancer. “I thought melanoma was only a skin disease, but they never found a spot on my skin that even remotely looked precancerous or even of concern,” said Maryanski, now 42. “This was under the skin. It was melanoma in my lymph node. There is no good time to receive that type of news, especially the day before Thanksgiving.” In December, Maryanski underwent surgery to remove lymph nodes on the side of his face and neck. Meanwhile, more tests revealed the cancer had spread to a spot in his brain. His doctors recommended gamma knife stereotactic radiosurgery at the Fort Sanders Regional Gamma Knife Center at Thompson Cancer Survival Center. Fort Sanders has the newest and most advanced Leksell Gamma Knife Perfexion machine, one of only 30 in the United States. In gamma knife radiosurgery, specialized equipment focuses

The procedure itself is minimally invasive, involves no cutting, and Maryanski went home the same day. Although the radiation itself is painless, the fitted guidance helmet on his head was not comfortable, he said. “They bolt a frame to your skull, which hurts pretty bad, I have to admit … it’s not fun. But they give you medicine that makes you not care,” said Maryanski. “As far as the procedure goes, it’s painless. And then you go home.” Over the next few days and weeks, the radiation destroyed the cancerous spot in his brain, and Maryanski said it has not spread or grown. Maryanski has also participated in a clinical trial for a vaccine against melanoma recurrence, at the University of Virginia. He is looking forward to returning to running and mountain biking someday. “I’m still feeling the side effects kick that group out of the hospital. The nurse who did all the prep from the vaccine, but I’m alive and at least for now, I am cancer free. work was phenomenal.”

Travis Maryanski was treated for Stage IV melanoma at the Fort Sanders Gamma Knife Center at Thompson Cancer Survival Center. He’s now cancer free. close to 200 tiny beams of radiation through the skull and into the brain tumor. Although each beam has very little effect on the brain tissue it passes through, a strong dose of radiation is delivered to the site where all the beams meet. On Jan 2, 2014, at 6 a.m., Maryanski was scheduled for gamma knife surgery at Fort Sanders. He was surprised to find a large support group of family and friends at the hospital at dawn. “The staff had to deal with a group of friends I didn’t know were going to be there. They all showed up,” he said with a laugh. “I was surprised that they didn’t

Brain surgery without the ‘surgery’ The Leksell Gamma Knife Perfexion machine has treated nearly 400 patients since coming to Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center in 2011. And both physicians and patients are delighted with the results. “I continue to be amazed by the tumor reduction we receive using gamma knife technology,” says Dr. David H. Hauge, Medical Director of the Fort Sanders Gamma Knife Center. Using the Gamma Knife radiosurgery system requires a team effort. “We have both neurosurgeons and radiation oncologists together in the pre-treatment evaluation, as well as the actual procedure. Speciallytrained radiation physicists and nurses also help ensure a safe and

pleasant experience for the patient,” explains Hauge. Despite its name, the gamma knife is not really a “knife.” There’s no cutting, no anesthesia and no hospitalization afterward. Radiation energy is targeted through the skull and into brain tumors, destroying them while leaving healthy tissue unharmed in the process. Treatments can last less than two hours, and patients go home the same day. Gamma knife can also be used to treat a number of other brain disorders, like non-cancerous tumors of the pituitary gland, tumors of the ear or eye nerves, or malformations of the blood vessels in the brain. Fort Sanders is an “open” center,

It’s a small price to pay,” he said. Maryanski said he would recommend Thompson Cancer Survival Center and Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center to anyone facing cancer. “There’s a different standard of care when you go in for cancer. The folks at Thompson really get it. They were phenomenal. They deal with people going through nasty stuff, and they know how to do it correctly. I go in for MRIs on my brain and CT scans on my body every three months, and the stress leading up to the scans and the wait for results is overwhelming, but the relief of clean scans is beyond words. “The reality is that I am alive and happy with my life,” said Maryanski. “When it comes to cancer, everyone struggles, the patient, their friends, and their family. My hope for everyone dealing with this disease is that every day is better than the previous one.”

meaning gamma knife credentialed and trained physicians in the area are welcome to use the technology. Five neurosurgeons and five radiation oncologists from Knoxville area hospitals participate regularly at the Fort Sanders Gamma Knife Center. The biggest benefit of the gamma knife is its ability to treat multiple tumors at once – up to 15 or more. The Leksell Gamma Knife Perfexion is designed to allow treatment of multiple metastatic brain tumors developed from primary cancers outside the brain such as lung, breast, ovarian, colorectal, kidney and melanoma. The gamma knife is much safer than other radiosurgical tools for brain tumors because it does not expose the rest of the brain or body to radiation. “We can deliver the treatment with pinpoint precision,” explains Fort Sanders neurosurgeon Dr. Joel Norman. “When you’re delivering radiation to the brain, particularly around the brain stem or optic nerves that control eyesight, precision is everything.” Dr. Hauge agrees. “In a recent study, gamma knife was shown to deliver far less radiation to the rest of the body outside the brain than any other currently available cranial radiosurgical technology.” However, while the gamma knife is one-of-a-kind in the area, it is not a cure for everything. Some tumors of the brain will still need traditional surgery. “Gamma knife adds another treatment option for patients with brain cancers or other con-cancerous abnormalities in the brain,” says Dr. Norman.
