TPO seeks road comments The Knoxville Regional Transportation Planning Organization (TPO) is seeking comments on proposed road and transit projects (including bike and pedestrian access) to be completed within the next 23 years, a requirement of federal funding. It’s called Mobility 2040. State and local governments, along with the Tennessee Department of Transportation, submitted the projects with an estimated cost and timeline. An online mapping application has been created to show the 180 projects that were submitted. The comment period ends Aug. 31. The application is easy to use. Go to knoxtrans.org and click on the application (it’s the big item that pops right up). Click “zoom to county� and “Knox.� Then click on the flags for your area.

Lake discussion is Aug. 25 A public meeting on the design of a Fountain City Lake wetland is set for 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 25, at the Lions Club Building in Fountain City Park. In the past two years, the city and its contractors have repaired a leak in the earthen berm that surrounds the lake. Crews have repeatedly drained, cleaned, treated and taken measurements of the lake, and inappropriate species of fish have been relocated. Algaecide has been sparingly added. This month, work is being completed on the lake’s fountain system and pump house
to increase aeration, which will add oxygen to the water, agitate the water surface and reduce stagnation – all helpful in combating the algae growth that’s marred the lake for many years. In addition, the improved apparatus will be able to discharge the dirtiest water from the bottom of the lake as well as provide a surface skimmer to collect and release floating algae and debris. The last major infrastructure improvement being made by the city will be creation of a wetland area in the northern end of the lake – eliminating a shallow, stagnant zone
of water that’s been conducive to thick algae growth. The wetland also will provide more shading to help lower water temperature – also useful in deterring algae – while providing a natural vegetative buffer to reduce algaefeeding nutrients and filter pollutants. At the Aug. 25 public meeting, LDA Engineering will present its design for the wetland. City staff also will be present. To date, the city has invested roughly $260,000 to rehabilitate the lake.

KMA showcases pieces by regional artists By Kelly Norrell One of Knoxville’s best-kept secrets, the Knoxville Museum of Art Gift Shop, is no secret to the rest of the world. Most of the shop’s customers are from out of state, said manager and buyer Susan Creswell. Trekking to the shop’s airy corner of the KMA building, 1050 World’s Fair Park Drive, tourists and travelers purchase beautiful hand-blown glassware, distinctive lamps, fiber-arts pieces, handcrafted jewelry and artisan pottery. “People are amazed at what they find here. What they like best is the work of local and regional artists,� Creswell said. The good news is that the bounty of the KMA Gift Shop is available to Knoxville residents, too. Stocked with high-quality, original art and handmade craft
items, the shop offers one-of-akind pieces at a range of prices. All proceeds from the shop go to the nonprofit museum, where admission is free. There is a spirit of fun at the shop, where children’s books, colorful puzzles and handmade journals and cards are displayed alongside work that Creswell acquires at events such as the shows of the Southern Highlands Craft Guild and the Foothills Craft Guild. Conspicuous in the shop are soaring mobiles ($165 to about $435) by Joel Hotchkiss of Massachusetts; striking, hand-woven outerwear pieces ($85-$385) by Knoxville fiber artist Judi Gaston; and hand-blown lamps ($400) by Tennessee glass artist Curtiss Brock. Brock is head of the Glass Department at the Appalachian Center for Craft at Tennessee
Technological University. Glass is the shop’s top-selling item, Creswell said, maybe because of its many forms and prices. You can buy exquisite, blownglass balls (“planets�) and other pieces ($80 to $5,000) by celebrated Massachusetts glass artist Josh Simpson, who recently exhibited at the museum. But you can also purchase whimsical glass birds, butterflies and wind chimes ($10$25) and tempered-glass cutting boards ($45-$65) by Susan Watson Arbital of Knoxville. Peter Alcott of Sevierville offers stunning fused-glass platters ($90-$350). South Knoxville glass blower Johnny Glass, whose dishes and ornaments ($25 to about $300) are shop favorites, will demonstrate blowing at the KMA Family Fun Day Saturday, Aug. 20, 11 a.m.-3 p.m. The shop’s fiber-arts pieces are
popular. Clothing by weaver and fashion designer Judi Gaston, renowned for both her artistry and materials, is hard to keep in stock, Creswell said. “Our biggest seller of hers is a hand-woven poncho ($155).� Also popular are jeweltoned silk scarves ($95-$125) and a poncho-like pullover ($145) by Lauren Fields of Durham, N.C. Pottery and ceramic arts are warm and satisfying. Pieces include earthy, functional items by York Haverkamp of Norris ($22 for a cruet, $145 for a large jug) and a popular ceramic sculpture series called “Spirit Figure� ($195) by Robert Conliffe of Knoxville. Local ceramic artist Hugh Bailey makes whimsical animals and figures ($20 for a flying dragon, $65 for a cat house) that sell quickly.

Peterson looks at Confederacy leadership By Sandra Clark Dennis Peterson, a former Powell resident and graduate of Halls High School (class of ’71), has released his newest book, a look at the civilian leadership of the Confederacy. “Confederate Cabinet Departments and Secretaries� was published by McFarland & Co. Peterson, who now lives in Taylors, S.C., credits three former teachers for sparking his love of history: Hubert Lakin, Paul Williams and Richard Booher. When Dennis and wife Connie moved to South Carolina, they were amazed at the number of Vol fans. “We saw orange everywhere,� he says. Then they realized that Clemson fans wear orange, too. Connie is an elementaryschool teacher, while Dennis has taught history in middle and high school. The couple have four daughters and five grandchildren – with a sixth due in December. Peterson says his favorite authors are Jesse Stuart (for his encouragement of the love of teaching and learning) and David McCullough (for his skill at making history interesting for everyone, not just historians). A
Dennis Peterson firm believer that reading is the key to learning, Peterson quotes Ronald Reagan: “You can never be lonely if you have a good book.� While thousands of books have been written about every aspect of the War Between the States, scant attention has been given to the civilian government of the Confederacy, he says. “The most recent book on the subject was published more than 70 years ago, and what little has been written since is scattered among various journals and magazines and is not easily accessible in one place.� So his book examines each of the Confederacy’s six executive departments and provides biographical
sketches of each man who held a position in Jefferson Davis’ cabinet. Peterson likes Davis less as a result of his research, calling his cabinet a revolving door. “I was amazed by how quickly the Confederacy was able to put together a functioning government and how long it lasted given the long odds and difficulties it faced. ‌ “(But) in essentially a four-year life, the cabinet went through more than 15 different secretaries, especially in the War Department. Some secretaries lasted only a few months.â€? Peterson found men who were hard to like. “Almost all of the secretar-
ies had objectionable qualities: egotism, tempers, impatience. “I actually came away from my research liking Jefferson Davis less and less. Despite his many good qualities, he was a terrible delegator because he couldn’t keep his hands off once he gave a man a job to do. He was an inveterate meddler.� Dr. Carl Abrams of the Bob Jones University history faculty inspired his work. Peterson said that when his work schedule didn’t permit him to take Abrams’ class on the history of the South, the professor volunteered to teach it one-on-one after regular work hours. “The best advice he gave me was to study the bibliographies of the books I read and then to read as many of the sources that those authors cited as I could. I began to do that, and this book is the result!� The book is available in softcover or as an ebook at mcfarlandpub.com. It can be ordered from local bookstores. And if any old friends want to talk to Peterson, reach him at 864-238-1187 or dlpedit@att.net

The band started with a preview of its pregame set outside the grocery store, then marched into and around the store, delighting shoppers with festive tunes.

Football simplicity: Logic and numbers Bob Shoop earned a degree in economics from Yale. It was based on logic and numbers. Shoop understands logic and numbers and even value added. His contract at Tennessee calls for an annual salary of $1.15 million plus perks. Shoop grasps other interesting issues based on logic and Bob Shoop numbers that apply to his career as a defensive coordinator. If he dispatches more hardcharging Volunteers than an
Marvin West
offense can block, the quarterback may feel tension. He may blink. He may be forced to flee or go down in a heap. Quarterbacks under duress seldom complete lofty percentages. Some throw more interceptions than touchdown passes. It has been said that pressure may even neutralize exceptional ability. Sacks and tackles for losses have been known to
win games. Considering the upfront numbers (wow, 1.15 mil), Bob Shoop is the man charged with making a difference at Tennessee. That, too, is a matter of numbers, growing from nine victories to 11 or 12, ideally changing from challenger to champ. With Butch Jones’ old friend John Jancek as defensive coordinator, the Vols of the past three seasons were much better than during the dark days of Derek Dooley. There was little resemblance between Jancek defenses and whatever that was Sal Sunseri directed in 2012. That was the year opponents broke historic records and
scored 43 out of 47 penetrations into the red zone. Amazing. The Jancek format was designed to not lose games. His defenses were an immediate improvement. The net result was middle-ofthe-pack good, 47th nationally against the pass, 45th against the run. Alas, they were not good enough often enough. Think Florida, fourth quarter. Last season was perfect for comparisons. There were very few pivotal plays on defense, only one defensive touchdown, the Evan Berry pass pick and run at the end of the bowl game. Tennessee’s fourth intercep-
tion that day raised the total to 12 for the year. Arkansas State had 26. Tennessee recovered seven fumbles in 2015. Navy and Virginia Tech had 15 each. Four sacks against Northwestern gave the Vols a respectable 30 for the year. Aggressive Alabama had 53. Everybody knows defense can decide games, one way or the other. Shoop believes defense can win games. He teaches a different, more daring concept. He sees takeaways as vital. He is willing to take the risk of “going for it� rather than playing cautiously in something called “prevent.� Shoop has said “there’s nothing better than getting after people, attacking, being aggressive in everything you
Northeast Economic Summit: Getting Have you ever wondered what we might achieve if we better market ourselves and our unique north and east neighborhoods? We have great people. And great neighborhoods. What would it take for business startups and entrepreneurs and commercial developers to pay closer attention to our community? Stated differently, must a successful business revolve solely around the relative wealth of its patrons (the Turkey Creek syndrome), or does establishing one’s presence in a community of good people and building strong customer relationships matter more in the longer run? We have a lot to offer. Over 48,000 people live in the northeast quadrant of the city, according to the 2010 census. If you expand that census snapshot to people who live within a 15-minute drive of the East Towne shopping district
Nick Della Volpe
(note: business district imports more than just the mall) there are over 110,000 residents. That same census reports the northeast county is growing by some 30 percent. Moreover, we are bordered by rural counties to the north and east – with people who, of necessity, travel to Knoxville to shop. We can be their outpost. Even now, before we make our “marketing� pitch, there are nearly 100 businesses located along Washington and Millertown pikes, both inside and outside the mall. We have big boxes like Lowe’s and Home Depot, Sam’s Club and Walmart, Target, as
well as Sears, Kohl’s, Belk and JCPenney inside. There are dozens of smaller, local businesses like restaurants, theaters and convenience and grocery stores. But there is also a need for closer-in neighborhood stores that bring convenience and choice to our smaller, interconnected neighborhoods. Truth is, most of us would like to patronize a healthier downtown Burlington, a rejuvenated lower Broadway or Central Avenue, or a revitalized Magnolia corridor or Washington Pike, to name just a few places. There is pride of place amidst great neighborhoods and good people all over this northeast marketplace. The Northeast Economic Summit is building steam toward a late-September or early-October launch. The date is not set yet, but the goal is to get neighborhoods and businesses interacting directly.
We are still doing our homework, of course. Facts matter. We have been gathering data like traffic counts, population size, age and income with help from the Metropolitan Planning Commission and other data from the Tennessee Department of Transportation, business and professional organizations and even the Knoxville Police Department to provide the real skinny on crime – facts, not just the cloud of misperception. But make no mistake, your neighborhood’s participation is essential. The initial survey results and your direct comments in person will help us express our wants and needs to the business community and help create opportunities for our area. So, while MPC is compiling demographic info and maps, TDOT posting traffic counts, KPD analyzing actual crime stats and the
do, an in-your-face style.� He speaks of passion and toughness and disruptive dominance. He says Vol pass defenders will challenge every route. So it was when Shoop coached at Vanderbilt for three seasons. I took another look at the video. There was one Dooley win in overtime followed by one lopsided loss and the infamous kneel-down to avoid additional embarrassment for the orange team. Jones suffered a setback in his first try. I turned off the horror show with the thought that if Shoop could do that with Commodores, he might help win the world with Volunteers. Marvin West invites reader reaction. His address is westwest6@netzero.com

You bring the customer base that we are asking businesses to listen to and to find ways to better serve.

It can help businesses learn more about us, to advance beyond misperceptions or stereotypes and provide a takeaway with follow-up contact information. Let’s wake up those sleepy businesses.

Reasons for Martin Danielâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s win
State Rep. Martin Daniel surprised most observers with his strong win for renomination in the GOP primary last week. He more than doubled his victory margin from two years ago. Despite misMartin Daniel steps over the past four months which generated countless stories, he prevailed. Why? First, his major opponent, former state Rep. Steve Hall, whom he had ousted in 2014, was back again, and few people wanted him back. Hall had little electoral appeal. Second, the next major opponent, James Corcoran, came on strong toward the end of the campaign but lacked funding early on to advertise his candidacy. Had the small but wealthy group backing Hall placed their money on Corcoran instead, he might have pulled it off. Corcoran made a favorable impression. He was calm and reasonable. He was weakened by only pushing one issue, and his political instincts were not targeted. Third, Daniel was the only candidate with an effective ground game. He was out going door to door for two months in the worst heat of the summer. Hall was not able to do this, and Corcoran was tied down
Victor Ashe
with his law practice. Daniel also had phone banks and human waves at major traffic intersections, which Mayor Rogero used to do. Fourth, many people liked Daniel challenging UT on repealing the Lady Vols name, the silliness of the UT diversity office on gender pronouns and Christmas plus expensive settlements on Title IX lawsuits exceeding $5 million. While the UT establishment hated Daniel for it, the rank and fi le alumni and community outnumbered the top folks. Fifth, Daniel was willing to self-fund much of his campaigns both this year and in 2014. He still faces Democratic opponent Brandi Price in November. Expect to see Daniel more targeted in the next two years and less distracted by side issues. He will be more careful in what he says and does. Corcoran did well too and has a political future if he wants it. He is already being mentioned as a candidate to replace Brenda Palmer on City Council next year as she is term-limited. Hall, who was once mentioned for council, is now damaged, and Ivan Harmon will not
run as it means him forgoing a sizeable city pension if he serves on City Council. Corcoran made a positive name for himself. â&#x2013; Both County Commissioner-elect Hugh Nystrom and his Democratic opponent Marleen Davis carried their home precincts. Nystrom won Deane Hill Rec Center 421 to 160 for Davis, while Davis beat Nystrom in Sequoyah by 323 to 291 in unofficial returns. Nystrom won overall with a significant 58 percent of the vote in his West Knoxville district. Davis is already being mentioned as a City Council candidate next year to replace termlimited Duane Grieve, but she would not have the field to herself if she runs. â&#x2013; Primary returns show the next close contest in Knox County will be between former state Rep. Gloria Johnson and incumbent state Rep. Eddie Smith. Johnson outpolled Smith 1,638 to 1,423 in the entire district. She beat Smith in traditionally GOP-leaning Sequoyah 281 to 258 as well as at Bearden Elementary, 145-83. Johnson, even unopposed, worked the primary with yard signs and personal activities. Smith was not active in the primary and the results show it. Expect local Democrats, led by Mayor Rogero, to go all out to beat Smith this fall. Johnson is helped by having Trump leading the GOP
ticket in this closely-divided district. Gov. Bill Haslamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s PAC has given $6,000 to Smith and it will be interesting to see if the governor, who is popular in the district, campaigns personally for Smith this fall. â&#x2013; Doug Harris, Knox County school board chair, departs the school board in two weeks, and a month later departs Knoxville for a five-month around-theworld personal trip with his wife, Carla, visiting 25 countries. This is a trip Harris has planned for months and will truly be a fascinating time. He will have a blog where friends and interested persons can follow his travels. He will be in demand to show slides upon his return. â&#x2013; State Sen. Richard Briggs, who likes to sail, spent the month after the legislative session sailing in the north Atlantic, from Shetlands and Orkney Islands in Scotland to the very north of Norway where it borders Russia. He is back home now. â&#x2013; The new Public Works complex for the city of Knoxville is ready for occupancy and will have tenants on or after Aug. 15 as part of engineering and public works departments moves into the building off Middlebrook Pike next to the old facilities on Lorraine Street. This new, up-to-date building is needed and a nice addition to the city inventory. A formal opening has not been announced.
government Awed to be part of history
Linda Maccabe had been easing her way into local politics by volunteering at Democratic Party headquarters when she saw a newspaper notice about an informational meeting for aspiring delegates to the Democratic National Convention. She went out of curiosity and learned that there was a caucus in March to certify voters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was very curious about the process. How does it actually work? So I submitted my name and asked people to vote for me,â&#x20AC;? she said. Two Bernie Sanders supporters, two Hillary Clinton supporters and one alternate would be chosen. Maccabe signed up for Clinton. The field was crowded. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I started calling people and asking them to vote for me, but I quickly noticed that I was splitting people apart,â&#x20AC;? she said, so she made a decision to run for a seat as an alternate, which meant she could go to the convention but wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be on the floor to vote. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was fine with that, and life went on,â&#x20AC;? she said. Then, on a weekend in June, she was buying groceries for out-of-town guests when her cell phone rang. A voting delegateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s slot had come open, and she was one of two eligible contenders for the upgrade.

Salute to Karen Carson After 12 years, Karen Carson is leaving the school board. Her family and her district should be proud of her service. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not sure how she would define her legacy, but three things stand out to me. She successfully advocated for a non-voting student representative on the BOE. That has worked well; each one seems Karen Carson s t r o n g e r and all have contributed to the debate. Carson challenged the conventional wisdom that â&#x20AC;&#x153;everything goes to West Knoxville.â&#x20AC;? She consistently advocated for her district, where overcrowding is a problem that cannot be fi xed â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the kids are outpacing school construction. And she advocated for teachers for 12 years, even if the latest insurgency doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t recognize it. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my perception based on her own record and words.

Look no further than last week when state Rep. Roger Kane visited the school board workshop at the request of board member Amber Rountree. Kane was there to defend recent legislation that requires 45 minutes per week of unstructured physical activity â&#x20AC;&#x201C; formerly called recess, Kane said. Rountree had forwarded to Kane a memo from the state Department of Education on ways to implement the new law â&#x20AC;&#x201C; instructions that Kane said were ways to evade the spirit of the law. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The memo includes teacher-structured activities.â&#x20AC;?

celebrities and newsmakers sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d seen only on TV. That sensation wore off pretty fast. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By Thursday, I was over it. Once youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen them, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Ehhh.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a civics teacher who talks to her students a lot about responsibilities, and she got a little teary again on Tuesday thinking about why she was there. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We talk a lot about our rights but not so much about responsibilities. We pay our taxes, vote, serve on juries and do community service â&#x20AC;&#x201C; we do so little, and we get so much.â&#x20AC;? The speaker who impressed her most was President Obama, whom she considers a peerless orator, but in the end, nothing compared to the moment when Clinton accepted the nomination. A reporter from Arizona Public Radio came by and interviewed her, and she talked about her young great-nieces. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is so important for them to know we have reached the point that women now have another option open to them, and they wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even know the struggles we went through for this to happen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So this is for Ava, Isolde, Emma, Kyla and Brooke,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want them to know that women can now be a part of all the conversations in our country.â&#x20AC;?

I will lead the blind by a road they do not know, by paths they have not known I will guide them. I will turn the darkness before them into light, the rough places into level ground. (Isaiah 42: 16 NRSV) So oft in theologic wars, The disputants, I ween, Rail on in utter ignorance Of what each other mean, And prate about an elephant Not one of them has seen! (â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Blind Men and the Elephant,â&#x20AC;? John Godfrey Saxe)
Beaver Dam leads â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;journeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to fun By Shannon Carey Beaver Dam Baptist Church brought mission work back home July 2528 with Camp Journey, a day camp aimed at disadvantaged local kids. Evelyn Keech, a 10-year church member and current Awana commander, said the idea sprang from the churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Love Local ministry.
Working primarily with kids zoned for Adrian Burnett Elementary School, Love Local helps students with food needs, mentoring and more. Keech was inspired to bring the Love Local students, and any others that wanted to attend, to the church for four days before school started. â&#x20AC;&#x153;God was like, you can do
that,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;God blessed it.â&#x20AC;? Camp Journey had 47 volunteers caring for around 25 kids. Many teens from the churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s youth group helped. Campers got to participate in fun activities, music and crafts. And of course they got lots of great food. The Knox County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office even came
through with a visit from a police helicopter and K-9 dogs and their handlers. Keech thanked the church for supporting Camp Journey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a blast, just so much fun,â&#x20AC;? said Keech. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I went to be a blessing, and I got more of a blessing than I gave them. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re already planning next year.â&#x20AC;?
Central UMC aids Fulton High By Carol Z. Shane The Rev. Jimmy Sherrod arrived at Central United Methodist Church from Powell UMC in 2014, ready to serve a new community. He dropped in on his friend Brooke Hartmann, an assistant principal at Fulton High School. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What do you want to do?â&#x20AC;? Hartmann remembers asking. Sherrod replied, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not about what we want Trey Cook and his K-9 partner to do. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;what do you do a demonstration for Camp need us to do?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Hartmann, now director Journey attendees. of discipleship and recov-
ery at Powell UMC, realized that, instead of trying to create a niche for Central UMC at Fulton, Sherrod wanted to know what already-existing niche needed help. It was the beginning of a great partnership. Sherrod started by hosting a lunch for Fulton teachers. Since then, Central has provided space in their facility for Fulton High training sessions and other events. For the last two years it has hosted the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Baccalaureate service. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When
youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in a true partnership, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cooperation. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mutuality,â&#x20AC;? says Sherrod. He and his team work with a small group of students to shape the event. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very much a teen-led project, with the kids choosing the speakers, music and menu. Ara Rickman, director of community relations for Fulton High, says that Central UMC is â&#x20AC;&#x153;an incredible partner for us. They are always at the call â&#x20AC;&#x201C; whatever we need, they are there for us.â&#x20AC;?
Our country is much like the elephant in Saxeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s poem. Saxe described each of the six blind men touching a different part of the elephant and leaving with a totally different impression of what an elephant was like. One touched the broad side of the great beast and declared, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Elephant is very like a wall!â&#x20AC;? The second took hold of the tusk and deduced that â&#x20AC;&#x153;this â&#x20AC;Ś Elephant is very like a spear!â&#x20AC;? The third blind man happened to take the trunk into his hand, saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I see â&#x20AC;Ś the Elephant is very like a snake!â&#x20AC;? The fourth found a knee and decided, â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Tis clear enough the Elephant is very like a tree.â&#x20AC;? The fifth declared, â&#x20AC;&#x153;This â&#x20AC;Ś Elephant is very like a fan,â&#x20AC;? having found the great ear. The sixth blind man seized on the elephantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tail and was certain that â&#x20AC;&#x153;the Elephant is very like a rope!â&#x20AC;? If a foreigner came to America and went only to Florida, he would assume that America is a tropical country. If he went only to Alaska in winter, he would believe America is a vast deep freeze. If he saw only Kansas, he would think the U.S. is flat. If he went to the Rocky Mountains, he would think he had landed in Switzerland! Such is the variety of this great land!

Whoa! School started! By Kip Oswald Back to school is not a practical joke by parents! For another 180 days, there is no more sleeping late, no more just doing nothing! Everyone Kip Oswald in our family makes this earth-shattering event a little bit easier. Mom and Auntie cook our favorite foods the week before! Keshawn, our family comedian (which is probably why he gets in trouble at school sometimes) is always telling us back-to-school jokes. Here are a few to share with your family this week: Parent: How did you find school today? Kid: I simply hopped off the bus â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and there it was. Mom: What did you learn today? Kid: Not enough. I have to go back tomorrow. Student: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Would you punish me for something I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do?â&#x20AC;? Teacher: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Of course not.â&#x20AC;? Student: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Good, because
I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t done my homework.â&#x20AC;? Teacher: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wished you would pay a little attention.â&#x20AC;? Student: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m paying as little as I can!â&#x20AC;? Kinzy, our research expert, found us a few cool school facts. â&#x2013; Where is the largest school in the USA? Brooklyn Technical High School in Brooklyn, N.Y., has 8,076 students. â&#x2013; Where is the smallest school in the USA? Sixteen states have a school with one student and one teacher. â&#x2013; What was school lunch like back at the beginning? In 1917, a lunch had a hot dish, bread and choice of sweet dishes with milk available for a nickel. â&#x2013; What place uses the most snow days? Owsley, Ky., uses 30-45 a year, but students donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make up days because they do virtual school with computers and internet provided by the school district. â&#x2013; How many states start school after Labor Day? At least seven states start after Labor Day. Please send your back-to-school stories to oswaldsworldtn@gmail.com

The bugs of summer By Sara Barrett People, tarantulas and 100 Monarch butterflies were on hand July 30 at a butterfly festival held in celebration of the 51st anniversary of the University of Tennessee Arboretum Society. Festivities took place at the new, air-conditioned UT Arboretum Auditorium at 901 S. Illinois Ave. in Oak Ridge. Special guests included keynote speaker and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Butterflies of Tennesseeâ&#x20AC;? author Rita Venable, local wildflower enthusiast Kris Light and others. Local plant vendors and artists sold homegrown and handmade goods, and there were many activities for kids of all ages, but perhaps the most popular feature was the UT Insect Zoo manned by UT professor of entomology Dr. Jerome Grant. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pat this guy too hard, he can jump 10 feet,â&#x20AC;? said Grant of a tarantula he held and encouraged folks to touch, hold and even wear. UT biology major Brianna Alred introduced passersby to a Madagascar hissing cockroach but said the tarantulas are always the biggest draw. The rock star of the moment, however, was the Monarch butterfly. For a small donation, festivalgoers received a living Monarch butterfly in a small envelope and a cup filled

into the pocket of her jeans. The dog stopped when Jazz hit the ground, and seemed to swallow a bark, almost choking. It leaned back, almost sitting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jazz, are you nuts?â&#x20AC;? Nick cried. At the sound of Nickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s voice, the dog

glanced up at him, its eyes frantic. It seemed to realize, for the first time, that it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t safe in a car anymore. Its startled eyes darted back to Jazz and it bared its teeth once more, its tail sharp as a wasp stinger and vibrating with fear and anger. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Get back up here!â&#x20AC;? Nick shouted. And then, picturing the dog attacking her the moment her back was turned, he bellowed, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t move!â&#x20AC;? He looked for a stick, a can, a rock, a bottle capâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;anything to throw at the dog. He cried out in frustration, not seeing any useful litter or junk anywhere. Before he could leap off the bench to save his sister, Jazz pulled a piece of cookie from her pocket and held it out. The dog seemed to hold its breath. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Here, boy,â&#x20AC;? Jazz said in her most gentle voice. She stooped and held the cookie lower. Nick couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe his eyes. Instead of biting off his sisterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fingers, the dog sniffed the cookie. It dipped its head, as if bowing. Its tail relaxed and it stepped forward and gently took the cookie from Jazz. Nickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s knees turned to licorice whips. He plopped onto the bench, sitting. An older man burst out of the Scudsy-Sudsy, yelling, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Boomer!â&#x20AC;? He ran up to the dog and scooped him into his arms. He stroked the dogâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head with a trembling hand and looked down at Jazz. â&#x20AC;&#x153;How can I ever thank you for saving my little Boomer! He might have been run over by a car or lost or ... or stolen!â&#x20AC;? In answer Jazz held up her sign. On shaky legs, Nick stood. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It goes like this.â&#x20AC;? He turned it right-side up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A joke?â&#x20AC;? the man said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For a quarter?â&#x20AC;? Jazz nodded. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t laugh, you get your quarter back,â&#x20AC;? Nick said. The man pulled a dollar bill from the pocket of his pants. He handed it to Jazz. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have change, sir,â&#x20AC;? Nick said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not yet, anyway.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quite all right, young man. A good joke is worth far more than a quarter.â&#x20AC;? Smiling, Nick nodded to Jazz. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Go ahead. Tell the joke.â&#x20AC;? Jazz took a deep breath and opened her mouth, but before she could say anything they heard Clay yelling from Jerryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s SuperDuper Grocery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nick! Jazz! Come here!â&#x20AC;? They turned to see Clay standing next to Mr. Jerry himself. Clay looked scared.
Nick held out the dollar. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be back ... maybe.â&#x20AC;? The man waved the dollar away, hugging his dog. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You saved Boomer. But I could use a laugh. Hurry back if you can. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m on the rinse cycle.â&#x20AC;? Nick wondered what was going on, as he and Jazz trotted toward Clay. His gut felt like a knot of worms. Mr. Jerry was wearing a bloodstained apron from the meat counter and he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look happy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You friends of his?â&#x20AC;? Mr. Jerry put a hand on Clayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shoulder. Nick nodded. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Look, son. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allow people to beg off my customers. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bad for business. But your friend here says youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re raising money to help feed the homeless. That true?â&#x20AC;? Nick looked from Mr. Jerry to Clay, whose large eyes were pleading for help. Had Clay really said that? Nick tried to picture Clay giving away money. The image that flashed in his mind was so funny, he smiled. But raising money for the homeless wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a bad idea. In fact, it was a great idea â&#x20AC;&#x201D; even if it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Clayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;sâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; maybe even especially because it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Clayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yep,â&#x20AC;? he said, avoiding Clayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying for a record, to see how much money we can make today. For the homeless.â&#x20AC;? Mr. Jerry patted Clayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shoulder. Clayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head nodded, as if agreeing with Nick. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what your buddy says. I just had to make sure I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t being conned. You know.â&#x20AC;? Nick glanced at Clay, who looked as if he were going to be sick. Mr. Jerry smiled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll match you dollar for dollar. And, you know what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to do? Call the newspaper. Tell them what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing, why people should help young folks help the homeless. Ask them to send over a photographer and a reporter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the deal. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m helping you, but I want you to do something for me. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a back-scratching thing. When somebody makes a donation, offer to take their groceries to their car.â&#x20AC;? Looking beyond Clay, he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your first customer.â&#x20AC;? He turned and called, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;am? Let this boy help you, and please consider helping the homeless.â&#x20AC;? Nick and Clay gasped. Mr. Jerry was beckoning Clayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother. And grandmother. (To be continued)

Breezy Wynn: leading industrialist Bob Gilbertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definitive 1990 biography of Gen. Bob Neyland, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Neyland: The Gridiron General,â&#x20AC;? has some significant contents that you cannot find in other biographies. In the appendix Gilbert cites the 10 most memorable events during Neylandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s career.
Jim Tumblin
An entry from 1928 begins the list, and one from 1959 ends it. The 1928 entry: Tennessee 16, Alabama 13. Gene McEver returned the opening kickoff 98 yards for a touchdown. The 1959 item was: Tennessee 14, LSU 12. Bill Majors, Charlie Severance, Wayne Grubb and Joe Schaffer stopped LSU all-American Billy Cannonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s run (attempt) for a two-point extra point. Between those two events, Gilbert cites another dramatic moment for which our subject was responsible. From 1932: Tennessee 16, Duke 13. Herman â&#x20AC;&#x153;Breezyâ&#x20AC;? Wynn kicked the game-winning 28-yard field goal late in the game. The snap from center was mishandled, and the ball was (lying) on its side when Wynn kicked it. That unorthodox kick came at a crucial time in the game, and it would not be the last of Wynnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s outstanding contributions to Tennessee Volunteer football during his career. Herman D. Wynn was born in Dublin, Ga., on Nov. 6, 1909, the son of Willis R. and Minnie D. Wynn. After
his graduation from high school, Herman attended Georgia Military College in 1928 and then Richmond Academy in 1929. Somewhere along the way his exploits in football, basketball and track had earned him the nickname â&#x20AC;&#x153;Breezy,â&#x20AC;? which stuck with him for life. Breezy came to the University of Tennessee in 1930 driving an Essex automobile with no top and with only $10 in his pocket. He played fullback for the Vols from 1930-33, becoming one of the best running backs in the conference. He added to his laurels by becoming an outstanding drop-kicker when that was a popular weapon. His teammates included some of the all-time Vol greats, including Beattie Feathers, Herman Hickman and Bobby Dodd. Wynn broke his leg in a game against Virginia Tech, the first game of the 1933 season, when he was a senior. Legendary coach Robert Neyland said his injury resulted in two early defeats because, until those two games, UT had not lost a game with Breezy suited up. The 1933 team had a 7 win, 3 loss season, losing only to Duke, Alabama and LSU after outstanding 9-0-1 seasons in both 1931 and 1932. While still in college, Wynn began his distinguished career in business by founding Volunteer Cleaners, a pool room, a barber shop, a meat market, the Toggery menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clothing store and a collection agency â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all of them during the Great Depression. After he graduated, he founded an athletic equipment company: the Southern Athletic Co. He borrowed some money and hired a few women to sew
uniforms. His ingenuity resulted in equipment and uniforms much lighter than the old-fashioned kind, and orders soon came from high schools and colleges all over the country. He eventually controlled 23 plants in several states and employed 3,500 workers with contracts of more than $25 million. When World War II began, Wynn recognized the need for â&#x20AC;&#x153;duffleâ&#x20AC;? bags and applied for a government contract. He shipped about 50,000 bags a week for a total of over nine million, and he also produced the M-65 jacket in large numbers. By 1945, he was running 10 factories in five states: Tennessee, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky and New York. His company shipped more than a million garments to 11 foreign countries and produced more than a million pairs of pants for the Lend Lease program. After the war, he began an army salvage business and continued to make all-weather coats for the military and civilian markets while making sporting goods at his Southern Athletic Co. When he sold his interest in Southern Athletic to Diversa Inc. of Dallas in 1964, he retired temporarily. At that time the company was grossing $15 to 20 million a year. His retirement did not last long, as he soon founded Wynn Industries and took over the idle Apparel Corporation of America, putting hundreds back to work manufacturing clothing for men, women, boys and girls. They signed a 20-year contract worth $40 million in 1970.

With all his business responsibilities, Wynn still found time to contribute greatly to his community. He was a founder and president of the Knoxville Quarterback Club, president of the Knoxville Symphony Society and organizer of an annual charity football game to benefit the Cerebral Palsy group. While serving as its president, he brought the symphony out of its financial difficulty. He was active in Church Street United Methodist Church, the Boys Club, the City Club, Cherokee Coun-
try Club and the Tennessee Manufacturers Association. He gave 1,000 trees to Dogwood Festival organizers and personally contributed $100,000 to Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital while soliciting an additional $3 million for their building fund. At his winter home in Palm Beach, Fla., he was active in the Everglades Bath and Tennis Club and the Seminole Golf Club. After several months of confinement at Colonial Hills Nursing Home in Maryville, Wynn suffered a fatal stroke there on May 23, 1992. He was survived
by his wife, Lola K. Wynn; his daughter, Janet Snyder; a son, Richard R. Wynn; and his stepdaughter, Carol Barto. After services conducted by Dr. Kenneth L. Carder at Church Street United Methodist Church, he was interred in Highland Memorial Cemetery. As Barbara Aston-Wash observed in her lengthy profile of our subject (Knoxville News Sentinel, Oct. 8, 1989), â&#x20AC;&#x153;Herman D. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Breezyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Wynn hit Knoxville with the force of a hurr icane â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a good wind as it turned out for the city.â&#x20AC;?

Renovations will continue this fall in the RecSports TRECS facility. The project will include installation of new flooring and new exercise equipment.
Student Union is rising from the ground. One evening during the summer, concrete for the buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s footings was poured from 240 concrete trucks running continuously from 9 p.m. until 3 a.m. the next day. The final phase of work on Strong Hall is underway. The buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s laboratories and classrooms are set to open in January 2017. Construction continues on the site of the Ken and Blaire Mossman Building on Cumberland Avenue at Thirteenth Street. When completed in 2018, the building will house portions of microbiology, biochemistry, cellular and molecular biology, psychology and nutrition, along with lab space and classrooms.

News from the Register of Deeds
Million Dollar Dinner Something very special is happening on Nov. 19, something that has never happened in the history of Rotary District 6780. Knoxville Rotarians from our seven clubs will join Rotarians from the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s other 58 clubs for the first-ever â&#x20AC;&#x153;Million Dollar Dinner.â&#x20AC;? In one evening the district will raise $1 million for The Rotary Foundation. The stars did align for this. This year is the 100th anniversary of The Rotary Foundation. The president of Rotary International this year is John Germ of Chattanooga, a former district governor of 6780. The current district governor is Fred Heitman, a son-in-law of the late William T. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Billâ&#x20AC;? Sergeant, who was known around the world for his work on eradicating polio and was called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mr. Rotaryâ&#x20AC;? wherever he went. His statue stands proudly in Krutch Park. The Million Dollar VIP Dinner will honor Rotarians from the district who donate or make pledges of $10,000 or more to reach the $1 million goal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The wheels are in motion to pull off what plans to be a special night, and the response thus far from many of our Rotarians has been tremendous,â&#x20AC;? says past district Gov. Frank Rothermel, the eventâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s committee chair. The eveningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s featured guests will include Germ and the keynote speaker of the event, Ian H.S. Riseley of the Rotary Club of Sandringham, Victoria, Australia, who is president-elect of Rotary International and will be president in 2017-18.
Midsummer property sales promising
Where will the event take place? â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will be in either Knoxville or Chattanooga, and it will be based on how much the Rotarians in both areas raise,â&#x20AC;? Rothermel explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The one with the most will host the dinner.â&#x20AC;? â&#x2013;
By Sherry Witt
After a strong beginning to summer, local real estate and lending markets c ont i nued to produce promising results in July. There Sherry Witt were 1,196 property transfers recorded in Knox County. While that number fell short of Juneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s near-record total of 1,340 sales, it was still a very good result for the middle month of summer. The aggregate value of property sold in July was just over $266 million â&#x20AC;&#x201C; nearly $20 million ahead of last Julyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pace, when approximately $247 million worth of real estate changed hands. Thus far, real estate sales in 2016 have outperformed the 2015 market by
Honoring Stan Brock
The Rotary Club of Bearden recently presented its prestigious â&#x20AC;&#x153;Service Above Selfâ&#x20AC;? award to humanitarian Stan Brock. Brock, a Britishborn philanthropist, was first known for his TV work on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mutual of Omahaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wild Kingdom.â&#x20AC;? In 1985 he founded Remote Area Medical (RAM), a nonprofit organization with headquarters in Rockford that addresses the needless pain and suffering caused by the lack of health care in impoverished, underserved and isolated areas. A welldeserved award to a special chap! â&#x2013;
Sprucing up Bluegrass
The members of the Knoxville Breakfast Rotary Club, along with the staff, students and parents of Bluegrass Elementary School, spent Saturday, July 30, mowing, mulching, pulling weeds and otherwise giving the school a thorough sprucing up just in time for fall classes to begin. Ten club members, 17 teachers, staff members, parents and children worked alongside school principal Jamie Cantrill and Rotary District 6780 Gov. Fred Heitman.
about $100 million. Julyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mortgage lending data was also healthy as $354.4 million was loaned against real estate in Knox County, compared to around $307 million in July 2015. Mortgage lending and refinancing in 2016 is running about $53 million above last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s levels. The largest sale of real estate recorded in the county during July was the transfer of student housing developments in the Fort Sanders area. The property was purchased by M&A Hive Knoxville LLC for $12.75 million. Mortgage loans were led by $18 million, financing the office complex off Keller Bend known as Lakeside Centre. With one more full month of summer left, the local real estate market appears poised to make a strong showing as the somewhat slower pace of fall approaches.
Knox gets $1 million (of $17 million) for parks By Sandra Clark When Gov. Bill Haslam and Commissioner Bob Ma r t i ne au of the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conser vation, announced Doug Bataille grants totaling some $17 million, a cool $1 million was awarded to two parks in Knox County. The town of Farragut got $500,000 to improve facilities at an athletic field, while Knox County got $500,000 to expand and improve IC King Park in South Knox County. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice to know the governor; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s even nicer when the governor knows your parks, having biked, hiked and sprinted through them.
Doug Bataille, senior director of Parks and Recreation for Knox County, didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know about the grants when he spoke last week at the Council of West Knox County Homeowners. But he put IC King Park near the top of the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s list for improvements. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We recently added 70 acres on the back of the park, along Maryville Pike,â&#x20AC;? he said. Plans call for a new entrance (the park is currently accessed from Alcoa Highway). A questioner asked if there will still be a boat ramp. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes,â&#x20AC;? said Bataille, but he did not comment on its location pending a design study. Bataille hopes to build three more miles of trail within the next two years. The park currently contains eight miles of multi-use
trails. He listed construction of the Meadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Quarry restrooms as the No. 1 item on his list of achievements for the fiscal year just ended. Batailleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s department juggles limited funds for projects all across the county. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He does a fantastic job,â&#x20AC;? said County Commissioner Ed Brantley. North parks: Bataille listed north area parks among his top projects: â&#x20AC;&#x153;We opened Clayton Park in Halls where we spent $700,000 and stretched dollars,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We opened a disc golf course at Powell Station Park, using tobacco grant money to fund equipment. We resurfaced tennis courts at Gibbs, Nicholas Ball and Sterchi Hills parks. And we built playgrounds at Forks of the River, Nicholas Ball
and Clayton parks.â&#x20AC;? The Beaver Creek water trail has not yet opened, yet a kayak club has â&#x20AC;&#x153;popped upâ&#x20AC;? and members are â&#x20AC;&#x153;making friendsâ&#x20AC;? with residents along the creek. Bataille foresees a putin/take-out at both Harrell Park and the Karns Sportspark. West parks: Bataille showed a slide of The Cove at Concord where Knox County redid the edging of the beach to prevent erosion of sand. Knox County sponsors Second Saturday concerts in the park during the summer and Bataille calls Concord the jewel of
county parks. He also installed new scoreboards at John Tarleton and the Karns Sportspark fields, using LED light bulbs. He said 100 teams use these fields. For the current fiscal year, which started July 1, he says the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top priority is paving a trail from The Cove to the old bridge. Concord Park has trails over 50 acres with another â&#x20AC;&#x153;2-3 miles of trail installed behind the ballfields.â&#x20AC;? He is setting a date for breaking ground for the new Plumb Creek Park, a 33-acre site off Lovell Road. The county has secured a $100,000 grant to build a
dog park there. Plumb Creek has been delayed, he said, for a redesign that consolidated parking in a corner near the entrance and will be less expensive to build. LED lighting will be used with a dimmer at dark. But motion sensors will light up the park if someone enters after dark. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a neat feature because of new technology.â&#x20AC;? Plumb Creek will have a one-mile natural trail loop and 1/4 mile of paved trail. The dog park will be Knox Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest at 7-8 acres. It will include disc golf and foot golf.

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER
New steps on a continuing journey Guillain-Barré patient works toward full recovery with the help of PNRC Although it’s been more than two years since Melanie Kyte, now 32, was stricken with the neurological disorder GuillainBarré Syndrome (GBS), she has not stopped working toward her goal of full recovery. GBS is a rare autoimmune disorder in which the immune system attacks the myelin coating around nerves, causing weakness, pain and sometimes paralysis. Kyte’s was an especially severe version of GBS, which left her almost completely paralyzed in the spring of 2014, at the age of 29. Unable at first to walk, talk or even feed herself, today Kyte has gained back all of that and more with help from therapists at Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center. After the onset of GBS, Kyte spent seven months at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center and six months at Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center. “While I was in Fort Sanders, they told me that if anyone could help you, it’s Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center,” said Kyte. “So I lived there for six months. They’ve really worked hard with me. I’ve had the same physical therapist, Tricia, (Erpelding), for the most part. But everybody’s always helping you, coming up with new ideas. They want to see people get better. I feel like I’ve got a bunch of cheerleaders over there,” she said. After discharge, Kyte continued physical therapy on an outpatient basis, at first twice a week and now once a week. Today the main focus is Kyte’s feet, which still have tingling and numbness from GBS. “It feels like they’re asleep and are waking up,” said Kyte, as Erpelding rubbed an ultrasound therapy wand over the soles of Kyte’s feet and the sides
ness when I got sick, so I changed it and went a different route. Now I’m doing psychology, with a concentration in counseling and a minor in sociology. “Maryville College is small, and that’s easier because I don’t have to walk as far to class,” she said. Kyte can also now hold and play with Hadley, her daughter, who was only a year old when Kyte got sick. “Now she’s three, so she’s either extremely friendly, sweet and kind, or having a tantrum,” Kyte said. “But she helps me, too – she’ll get things I can’t reach.” Kyte said she would recommend Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center to anyone facing a life-changing neurological illness. In addition to her physical recovery, Kyte said she has made friends with other patients at the center.
Melanie works with one of her “cheerleaders”, PNRC therapist Tricia Erpelding, to regain her strength after suffering from Guillain-Barré.
Ultrasound waves penetrate deep into Melanie’s feet to relax her muscles, improving circulation and flexibility.
of her ankles. Ultrasound waves penetrate deep into the muscle and ligaments, to warm, relax and soften them. This improves circulation and aids in flexibility. “If you don’t have strength in the muscles, different areas of the body can get stiff and tight,” said Erpelding, as she stretched Kyte’s feet upward. “My feet are stiffening up and are turning in a little bit – we’re
trying to straighten them out,” said Kyte. “I wear an ankle brace on the right and a whole leg brace on the left. We’re trying to get that off, and only have an ankle brace. I do a lot of quad exercises, hamstrings, squats and stair exercises.” Despite her great progress, Kyte has restructured her entire life around the effects of GBS. No longer able to work in her former job at Starbucks, Kyte headed
back to school at Maryville College in the fall of 2015 with help from the Blount County Vocational Rehabilitation Center. “They work with people in the area who are on disability,” said Kyte. “They’re paying for me to go back to school, and after that the plan is to get a job. I already had an associate’s degree in busi-
Patricia Neal Golf Classic tees Generous corporate leaders, golf enthusiasts and Tennessee golf professionals will hit the links at Holston Hills Country Club in Knoxville on Monday, August 22, to support a great cause – the Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center (PNRC). The 32nd annual Patricia Neal Golf Classic is presented by Regal Entertainment Group. The TPGA professionals tournament is sponsored by Morrison Healthcare Food Services. Other major sponsors include Humana, Pilot Flying J and BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee. Tournament proceeds support patient care at the Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center at Fort Sanders Regional, which helps thousands of people rebuild their lives after traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries, strokes and other debilitating illnesses and accidents. In the past 31 years, this tournament has raised over $5 million to support the excellent care provided at the center, making
it one of the most successful one-day charity events in the state. “The time, talent and resources our sponsors and volunteers give in support of the Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center make an amazing impact,” says Rocky Goode, tournament chair. “We are truly blessed to have such top-notch rehabilitative care right here in Knoxville.” Tournament Director Misty Brown agrees. “Our sponsors make this event a success, and we wouldn’t have their support without the hard work of our tournament leadership committee. The
“People with disabilities don’t always get out. You get used to being home a lot,” said Kyte. “So the center holds get-togethers once a month, and I try to participate in those. We go to ball games and just do things with other people with disabilities, so you get out. “When you become disabled, you have to relearn everything in life. It’s just a lot different,” she said. “I have no complaints – everybody at Patricia Neal has been perfect.”
off August 22 businesses of this community see the importance of the care the center provides and are key to its continuing work for patients in need.” A limited number of sponsorships are still available. For more information, call 865-531-5210 or visit patneal.org/classic.
