Gloria stays with 13 The rumor that Gloria Johnson might switch districts started the day state Rep. Joe Armstrong was convicted in federal court of filing a false income tax return and stripped of his office. “I was out in South Knoxville at a volunteer meeting that night and noticed my Twitter feed had a tweet from a College Republican about me moving to the 15th District.

I thought, ‘What a ridiculous rumor,’� said Johnson.

By Jake Mabe Hard to believe, but Halls High School is turning 100, and they’re going to throw a party.

The school and the Halls High Alumni Association will host two events this school year.

The first is a special meet-andgreet before the football game against South-Doyle, 5:30-7 p.m.

Friday, Sept. 16, inside the high school, which will be open for

touring. Individual classmates will also be assigned a specific area in which to congregate and chat. “We will organize that based on the number of RSVPs we get back,� said Chris Vandergriff, Halls Alumni Association president, Class of ’77 alumnus, and retired teacher and wrestling coach. Invitations have been or will be sent to alums via emails

Times are to be determined.

Several years ago, Shopper News obtained the memory book of the late Maxine Smith Smelser for the Class of 1924. It is one of the oldest firsthand sources of information about the school known to survive. Smelser later became a music teacher and married the late Joe Smelser.

Greenway connection at Winter Oaks

By Sandra Clark Knox County Commission will vote in August on a $94,800 construction contract with HS Construction and Excavation for construction of a greenway connector at Winter Oaks Way in Halls.

Dwight Van de Vate, senior director of Engineering and Public Works, said the project is the result of a meeting a year or so ago with Mayor Tim Burchett and residents from Oak Springs Villas.

“When their condos were built, the developer platted an access point to the Halls greenway, but it was never constructed,� Van de Vate said. His department has been working with Parks and Recreation, Hallsdale Powell Utility District and residents to get the access completed.

HS Construction and Excavation will complete the work with Robert G. Campbell & Associates providing project oversight, said Van de Vate.

“Ordinarily we would have our own personnel handle the oversight function, but we have a slew of larger projects on-going or in the pipeline, so in order to keep this one from any further delay, we are using RGC & A.�

The project will make the Halls Greenway directly accessible to a new group of users. Fred Coats is the homeowners association representative who has worked with the county.

Van de Vate expects completion this year.

Andy Black retires with unfinished business

By Betty Bean Some 150 dignitaries, employees and friends of Andy Black showed up last week to stand in a sunbaked parking lot and listen to a series of speeches praising his accomplishments at a ceremony dedicating the main building of the Helen Ross McNabb Center to the agency’s former CEO. Black retired in 2014 and has been serving as a consultant while phasing himself out for the past two years.

Black sported a big smile and a red rose on his lapel, and he deflected the credit for his accomplishments by thanking his colleagues and supporters.

Black, who has degrees in psychology and social work from the University of Tennessee, spent more than 30 years at Helen Ross

McNabb. He began his career in 1986 as the center’s first director of development. He became CEO in 2003, and expanded the agency’s mission to provide access to provide affordable health care for those facing mental health, addiction and social challenges. He directed the expansion of services into rural counties and put the agency in the business of providing housing to veterans with mental health challenges. Black, a veteran himself, leaves a legacy of 162 veterans who now have safe, comfortable and affordable housing.

When he was named CEO, Helen Ross McNabb served approximately 7,000 children and adults, mostly in Knox County. Today, it serves approximately 25,000 people in 25 East Tennessee counties

and carries no debt.

Black and his wife, Brenda, are looking forward to doing some traveling and enjoying their newfound leisure (although he jokes that she’s busy thinking up ways to get him out of the house).

But he still feels that he has a piece of unfinished business.

Yesterday (Aug. 16) Knox County’s Purchasing Department opened the bids to build a Behavioral Urgent Care Center (formerly known as the Safety Center), which will divert mentally ill and drug-addicted inmates from the jail to a facility where they can get treatment.

Former District Attorney General Randy Nichols has worked on the project for years, and said that Black and Sheriff Jimmy “JJ�

Jones have been his compadres in this effort. “We couldn’t run this system without Helen Ross McNabb and all they do at the jail,� he said. “They’ve always been willing to help, and Andy Black set the tone and laid the groundwork. Most people don’t know about the work they do and how truly caring they are.�

In recent years, Black, Jones and Nichols have added another ally – Mayor Tim Burchett, who supports the urgent care center and said that Black understands mental health issues and public policy as well as anyone in Knox County.

from Vandergriff and/or each surviving class’ contact person.

The Halls Crossroads Women’s League will provide refreshments.

Kickoff is 7:30 p.m. For more info, contact Vandergriff at 865924-4600 or email chris.vandergriff@gmail.com.

The second event will be a community-wide celebration culminating at the annual alumni dinner, Saturday, April 29, 2017.

News from Tennova Health & Fitness

Want a great kids’ party? Turn

‘em loose at Tennova!

By Carol Z. Shane Even though summer and the season of water fun are coming to a close, the season for birthday parties never ends. Parents and kids have their choice of party venues, and though each possible location guarantees fun, there are also potential headaches for the ones in charge.

An at-home bash involves setup and cleanup; a restaurant will fill the kids’ tummies but do nothing for their abundant energy; an amusement park is exciting but worrisome for those who must keep the group safely together.

Any number of specialty locations featuring activities such as paintball or other games are also thrilling and fun, but they’re often expensive, and they sometimes include added attractions which call for even more cash layout.

What’s the answer?

“There are a lot of great things about having your birthday party at Tennova Health & Fitness Center as opposed to having it elsewhere,” says Nicole Yarbrough, executive director of fitness for Tennova. The kids can have a great time in the pool, on the rock wall or both, and enjoy their cake and other treats in one of two party rooms on the premises. There’s no cleanup, it’s safe, the kids have a healthy, fun outlet for their energy (in one of the party rooms, they can literally bounce off the padded walls) and the price is all-inclusive.

Pool parties at Tennova are very affordable, says Wendy Metz, membership and programs repre sent at ive for the facility.

And, unlike an outdoor pool party, there’s no Wendy Metz chance of the event being cancelled or changed due to rain. It’s also fun for kids born in the cooler months of the

Tennova Health & Fitness Center features a big, beautiful junior-Olympic-size pool.

Tennova’s rock wall features four levels of climbing.

Kids can enjoy cake and presents in one of Tennova’s two party rooms. In the one shown here, they can literally bounce off the walls! Photos submitted

year who never get to have their own splashy bash.

For the parents, says Metz, “having something indoors where you know it’s going to hap-

pen – it’s just peace of mind. It’s just ‘check that off the list.’” Both Metz and Yarbrough have held their children’s birthday parties at the facility with great success

for all involved.

Yarbrough says, “As a parent, it was awesome to be done with the party in two hours, to not have to deal with cleaning my house before and after. It was short and sweet and it was great for the parents coming in

because it wasn’t a big deal. We had pizza and cake, they opened presents. It was the perfect amount of time.”

Tennova provides a lot for the price. “Really, the only thing we don’t deal with is the food and beverage,” says Yarbrough. “And invitations,” adds Metz. Parents are free to choose a theme and put up decorations in the chosen party room up to 30 minutes beforehand. Yarbrough’s daughter enjoyed a “luau” a few years ago, with leis and floral skirts. Other themes have been Ninja Turtles and, of course, princess parties.

Tennova also provides a dozen balloons in the birthday child’s favorite color.

Parents and their kids can choose from two types of parties: the two-hour “Gathering,” which includes one hour in the party room and one hour of either pool or rock wall; and the three-hour “Rage,” which includes an hour for each activity – party room, rock wall and pool.

“It’s a huge pool – a 25-meter, junior Olympic pool,” says Metz.

Lifeguards and rock wall supervisors are on site to keep an eye on the kids. There’s no extra charge for adult party guests, so parents are also welcome. By the way, parties are not limited to birthday events; Tennova has also hosted Girl Scout and Boy Scout troops and sports teams.

Any group that wants to rent the facility is encouraged to give Tennova a call.

With its easy access off of I75N, Tennova Health & Fitness Center is in a convenient location for families all over Knoxville. Parents can stop and pick up a party tray and cake at any one of several locations near the facility, and Tennova’s price includes ice for the cooler.

When planning your child’s next birthday party, why not give Tennova Health & Fitness Center a call? As Metz says, “We provide the place, we provide balloons, we provide fun. It’s a win-win for everyone!” To get the ball rolling, call her at 865-859-7904.

Tennova Health & Fitness Center makes it easy to have a birthday party or any other festive event for kids. One all-inclusive price gets you everything you need for fun. Tennova offers two types of parties:

The “Gathering” (2 hours)

Member price: $145 • Non-member price: $220 Includes one hour in party room and one hour of the activity of your choice: rock wall or lap pool

Brickey Buddies continue to teach There they were, Brickey Buddies, just like before, it’s yesterday once more.

Once upon a time, a little brick building that most kids remember incorrectly as huge stood near what is now Brickey-McCloud Elementary at Emory Road and Dry Gap Pike.

And it was fun and it was family, and it seems simple through a nostalgic childhood lens. But the Buddies who met at O’Charley’s on Cedar Lane last week, and their absent colleagues, made it that way. Like anything, some days were diamonds, some days were stones. But you could see it, hear it, feel it, almost touch it.

John R. McCloud was holding court, par for that course, of course. His faculty was finally nicknamed McCloud’s Harem, for reasons I don’t have to explain.

Yeah, I know it’s not PC, but that’s what John R. said.

Ernie Israel and Tom Noe weren’t there, you see.

Jake Mabe

Jean Mills (Jean Woody to you long-timers) has kept this group together. She makes phone calls. She collects email addresses. She brings jokes and inspirational items.

And oh, how they hugged and laughed and swapped pictures of grandchildren and told what their children are doing now!

John R. is an awesome octogenarian. He’s finally starting to slow down some, but he’s still got more energy than, oh, some darn member of “the mediaâ€? you may know. (Cough‌.)

He tells stories about memories of moments that wouldn’t sell anymore. Time marches on, but ask any stu-

dent who went through that brick building. You’ll find that we lived for the day when John R. would pop his head into the classroom. We knew we were getting a story for a few minutes. That’s vanished along with Kodachrome and common sense.

He says he’s had a good life, never had a headache, feels blessed, misses his late wife Joyce, hopes he inspired one student. The correct number is a wee bit higher.

I gotta tell you one tale.

Years ago, a package arrived in the front office.

John R. took one look and told somebody to take it to Linda Glass, who taught fifth grade. She showed up later with a perplexed look on her face. “Mr. McCloud, this isn’t mine,� she said. “It has your name on it.�

The label read “Glass: Handle with care.�

Lessons could be learned around the table. All you

gotta do is listen. Just like in school. From, say, Jean Mills, you learn what one person’s work can do to enrich the lives of others.

From, say, Terry Carr, you learn that kindness can be a way of life, not a rare act.

From, say, Sheena Beal and Candy Shanton, you learn the fruitfulness of a lifelong friendship.

And from Mr. McCloud, you learn what stories not to tell. Too loudly. Nah, that’s a joke, I promise.

I could, however, say something I learned from every person at that table, if space allowed.

They are all fun, and they are all fine, and no matter what happens, they’ll always be Brickey Buddies, upper and lower case buddies, forever and ever, amen.

And they teach still.

From page A-1

The book is bursting with treasures. At least in 1926, the school had a song (remember those, aka “Mayberry Union High!�?). It is appropriately titled “Halls High School� and is sung to the tune of “Tennessee,� a song of its era.

The chorus is: Oh, Halls High School, grand HHS, the school of all schools to me.

I stand upon my honor here and hold communion with my peers, and view my records o’er and o’er.

Oh, HHS, forever more.

Other favorite class songs were “Flow Gently, Sweet Afton� (sung on any occasion) and “How Do You Do Everybody?� (sung the night of the public debate).

Prof. Mitchell (his first name is spelled variously as N.S. and W.S.) is listed as a member of the faculty and (apparently) the principal.

Classmates (listed) are Minnie Crippen, Darathea Lay, Imez Smith, Martha

McLeod, Mae Monroe, Elsie Ezelle, Irene Ezelle, Pearl Rader, Nessie Mynatt, Irene Harmon, Anna Heath, Aubrly Smith, Mae Williams, Ray Craig, Marshall Gentry, D. Stooksbury, Paul Minton, Sam Longmire and Lola Mynatt.

The senior play was “Pollyanna.� The public debate was “Resolve: That Muscle Shoals and other Tennessee waterpowers (sic) be controlled by the Government (sic).� Keep in mind, this was roughly a decade before TVA. Some things never change, huh?

Tucked away are photographs, valentines, memories.

And Halls High School, still grand, plans to make more memories this year.

This is the first of a fourpart series. If you spot an error in the history and have documentation, please email Jake Mabe at JakeMabe1@aol.com, as this is part of the Halls High School chapter of his forthcoming book on the history of Halls.

“Andy’s genuinely concerned about people, especially those who are the least among us. I can’t think of anyone more deserving of this honor (having a building dedicated to him), and we’re going to get the urgent care thing done.

I’ve called people who are big hitters in the community who have been involved in mental health issues and they say Andy’s never let them down.�

Vols get tip of cap for hanging in there This is not a misty-eyed Kleenex story. It is a mere tip of the cap to some older Volunteers who hung in there until the good times finally returned.

All five came to Tennessee during the dark Derek Dooley era. That they stayed is no shock. Facilities are excellent. Teammates were terrific. The food was good.

The future was a matter of personal faith.

The fifth-year outlook is favorable for defensive tackle Danny O’Brien. He will play, maybe start, until Shy Tuttle gets well.

It appears Jason Croom will contribute at tight end.

He had enough speed to be a wide receiver in past seasons, which means he might now create an occasional mismatch against a linebacker. He is 6-5 and 246.

Marvin West

We’ll see if he can block a tackle.

LaTroy Lewis is part of the tournament at defensive end. He may end up third string, but he has proven that he can play. Vanderbilt remembers him well from last November.

Want to talk about hanging in there, about giving more than he got? Charles Folger came from Augusta in 2012 as a preferred walkon. He practiced and practiced some more, often as sizable opposition for the varsity offense. Coaches

and teammates praised his competitive spirit. He has been a warrior. He is now 6-5 and 283.

Two seasons ago, Charles made a brief appearance in the Kentucky game. Last season he played a few downs against Western Carolina.

A few days ago, Butch Jones awarded him a scholarship. Other Vols applauded. Folger said, “It’s a dream come true.�

Folger is a good story. His folks had Georgia season tickets for 25 years. Great recruiter Rodney Garner invited him to be a Bulldog walk-on. When Charles visited UT, he liked what he felt. It would cost a little more, but his dad said go for it.

In addition to the scholarship, Folger has earned

a degree and is working toward a master’s.

As redshirt seniors go, Kenny Bynum is one heck of a story. In October 2011, he committed to Coach Jones, then of the Cincinnati Bearcats. Kenny was to be a middle linebacker in John Jancek’s base 4-3-defense.

Forty-eight hours before signing day, Tennessee turned his head. “I didn’t think I would land an SEC offer, simply because people say 4.8 isn’t fast enough.�

He struggled with the decision, loyalty to Butch or a shot at the big time. “It’s every kid’s dream that lives in the Southeast of the United States to play in the SEC.�

Bynum lived in Jacksonville. He was a short 6-1 and 210. He kept his weight

down to be a wrestling champ.

Florida wasn’t interested in football dreams. Georgia didn’t call. Alabama didn’t know he was alive. When Tennessee finally made contact, Kenny wondered if the Vols had lost a recruit and were just filling the vacancy.

Sal Sunseri assured him he could play. Sal said he should get bigger. Bynum went up to 230 in a hurry and was pushing 250 in August when he reported to UT. He suffered a torn knee meniscus and watched the Tennessee defense go from bad to awful.

Dooley and his staff were fired. Butch Jones and his staff came from Cincinnati. Bynum knew them all.

And, he knew Jancek’s defense because he had studied it the previous October,

November, December and January.

Kenny understood when he was asked to lose weight.

Jancek liked smaller, faster linebackers.

Bynum made his first start when the Vols went to his hometown for the bowl game against Iowa. That was late 2014. Football coaches have hearts.

Bynum started twice last season but played in all 13 games. He made the SEC academic honor roll. No doubt he can see there are better linebackers, but he has stayed the course. “I have tremendous respect for him,� said Bob Shoop, new defensive coordinator.

So do I – for Kenny and the others.

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

Incoming and outgoing officials look ahead District 4 Knox County Commissioner Hugh Nystrom admits that he feels a little like the dog that caught the car. But he turned to an unlikely source − District 4 incumbent Jeff Ownby, whom he beat in the primary − to get his bearings.

The Shopper News caught up with Nystrom while Ownby was giving him a tour of the City County Building. Stops included the mayor’s office, IT department and Public Building Authority, where Nystrom picked up his name badge. “We’re not jerks. This kind of stuff can happen naturally,� says Nystrom. His friendly relationship with Ownby began when they shared a tent during early voting back in February.

Wendy Smith

Spending time with his predecessor makes for a smart transition, he says. “I don’t want to drop the ball on anything.�

Likewise, he’s on good terms with his Democratic opponent, Marleen Davis.

They’re picking up each other’s campaign signs as they get their own. He thinks treating others well pays off down the road.

He says that Davis’ voice “hasn’t been silenced,� and hopes that she’ll consider a

City Council run.

Davis, a Sequoyah Hills resident, could run for Duane Grieves’ district seat, which will be open next year. Grieves has heard rumors about who might be interested in his seat, but he thinks it’s a little early for announcements.

Being on City Council could stymie someone who’s already active in public affairs because of limitations created by Sunshine Laws, he says.

West Hills resident Sandy Robinson has been politically active in recent months in an effort to find funding for a sidewalk on Sheffield Drive. But she doesn’t plan to follow in the footsteps of former City Council reps Jean Teague and Barbara Pelot, who ran for office to

protect West Hills from encroachment. She just wants her neighbors to have a safe place to walk, she says. “I just want to get it done.�

Pond Gap Neighborhood Association president David Williams, who lost to Finbarr Saunders in last year’s contest for City Council atlarge seat C, says he hasn’t made up his mind about running for the District 1 seat. But he thoroughly enjoyed last year’s race, and he’s made up with Saunders, he says. “The bug has bit me. I like to serve the public.�

New District 1 County Commissioner Evelyn Gill hit the ground running last week by participating in an East Knoxville neighborhood walking tour. She was

greeted by neighbors as she joined other elected officials and city staff on a one-mile loop that included the Walter P. Taylor neighborhood, Dr. Walter Hardy Park and Vine Middle Magnet School.

The tour was sponsored

by Bike Walk Knoxville, Five Points Up and the Knox County Health Department.

Sarah Bounse of the health department said the goal was constructive conversation about limitations facing the neighborhood.

HALLS/FOUNTAIN CITY Shopper news • AUGUST 17, 2016 • A-5

It’s back to the fightin’ 18th If there’s such a thing as too much publicity, Republican state Rep. Martin Daniel might be the poster child for the proposition.

Meanwhile, his Martin Daniel Democratic opponent, Brandi Price – who was unopposed in the primary and will go up against Daniel for the District 18 House seat in the November general election – has been Brandi Price feeling ignored. “It shortchanges the voters when one side is left out of everything,� said Price, a 28-year-old lawyer who has practiced in Juvenile Court for three years. “Opposed or unopposed, it’s important for the voters to know all of their options.�

Easier said than done; a

Betty Bean rock ’em, sock ’em primary contest will suck up all the media oxygen every time.

Even without a physical assault and a warrant, a four-way battle in a GOPdominated district is going to demand attention.

Price, a native of Elkhart, Ind., who has lived in Knoxville for seven years, is a member of the inaugural class of Lincoln Memorial University’s John J. Duncan School of Law. She works in the family services side of juvenile court and represents parents and children who are facing custody issues. She sees the aftermath of substance abuse, domestic violence, mental-health crises and problems with education, and she would like to see more thoughtful attention paid to these problems.

She says she’s running because she watched her parents work full-time and

still live paycheck to paycheck. She started working when she was 15. “Seeing them work so hard, plus my education and experience as an attorney, makes me want to give back and help other people have better lives. I hope in the general election we can focus more on the issues rather than what someone said or has done.�

It seems unlikely that the general election will reprise the ill will between Daniel, a 59-year-old billboard company owner and nonpracticing lawyer, and Steve Hall, the incumbent he ousted two years ago. The tension between the two was palpable even before Daniel and Hall lost their composure in late July on Hallerin Hilton Hill’s radio talk show.

Bryan Dodson and James Corcoran became bystanders to a shouting match that spiraled out of control after Hall called Daniel a liar and Daniel shoved Hall back into his seat. Tension had been increasing between the two after Hall received an infusion of cash from the

Haslam family and friends.

Common belief was that Daniel had given offense by inserting himself into the inner workings of the University of Tennessee.

Daniel publicly apologized, but Hall filed a criminal complaint and an assault warrant. Talk that Hall had become the favorite in the race was proved wrong on Election Day when Daniel finished with 1,324 votes to Hall’s 964. Corcoran got 856 and Dodson 252.

Price said she wants to talk about real issues from now until November and will be surprised if she’s targeted by “outside� specialinterest groups. “I don’t think anybody really considers me a priority. I want to use my life and work experience to give back to my community. I don’t think the Republicans have done enough to help people, and they’ve focused on unimportant issues. I just want to do my part by working on real problems and helping real people, like the people who are thanking me for running almost every day.�

Fundraising for the state museum Gov. Bill Haslam hosted a luncheon Aug. 3 at the Governor’s Residence on Curtiswood Lane in Nashville to beef up the fundraising for the troubled Tennessee State Museum, which has signed on to a $160 million building project for a new museum building in Nashville.

The Legislature directed that $40 million of the $160 million be raised privately, which means the governor will have to do much of the heavy lifting for it to succeed in getting large donations.

Interestingly, the 35year executive director of the museum, Lois RigginsEzzell, did not attend the luncheon. Riggins-Ezzell, who turns 77 in November, has faced several health issues and generated employee morale issues when she declared, “I am the Museum. Jesus.� Many feel she needs to retire.

This project is dear to the governor’s heart as he loves history. A new museum is also needed, but many question whether the current proposal will be adequate to meet the long-term needs. A storage area is not included.

The Museum Commission is led by a new chair, Tom Smith. He is from Knoxville but is now a Nashville businessman. He has taken absolute control of the commission, which is a public body subject to public review. (This writer is a commission member, having been appointed by Senate Speaker Ron Ramsey.)

Victor Ashe

Smith did indicate at the luncheon that RigginsEzzell plans to retire, but no date was given. In fact, the search effort to replace her is almost a year old, and a search firm has not yet been identified, much less employed. Many feel this has dragged on too long already at a time when the University of Tennessee plans on choosing a new chancellor in five months. Some feel the failure to find a new executive director as the new museum emerges from the ground hurts the fundraising effort.

Recently, Smith removed Bob Buchanan, commission member and president of the Tennessee Historical Society, from serving on any committee. Buchanan is a highly respected Nashville attorney who speaks his mind. Buchanan had been on the collections committee, but it did not meet for over a year. People are wondering why Smith is so upset with Buchanan. No one has an answer.

Attending the luncheon besides Bill and Crissy Haslam were Tom Smith; Barry Stowe, chair of Jackson National Life Insurance; Mark Ezell, president of Purity Dairies; Jerry John-

son and Wanda Lyle of UBS Bank; Bill Freeman, partner of Freeman Webb Co., former Nashville mayoral candidate and big-league Democratic donor; Mark Cate, Haslam’s former chief of staff; and Charlie Cook, retired Nashville banker.

Rob McNeilly, president and CEO of SunTrust Bank, Nashville, was invited but was a no-show.

It was actually a small group, and not many of the known heavy hitters of the Nashville philanthropic scene (of which there are many) were present. Interestingly, the guests were never specifically asked to contribute to the building fund.

Smith was asked if current Museum Commission and Foundation members had participated in the campaign. Smith gave vague answers about asking them.

The governor indicated that roughly $5 million had been raised (or committed) to date from five or six sources but shared no names. That leaves another $35 million to be raised.

Cate is leading the effort to raise funds but has declined to state if donations to secure the $40 million will be made public. At some point, state media will catch on and start asking who is making the large donations to this public project and in what amount.

If donations over $100 to a political candidate must be disclosed, one would think million-dollar donations to this public project

would be public, too, especially when the governor himself is seeking the donation.

This could become a sticking point if not revealed and even trigger legislation in the General Assembly to mandate disclosure. It would be much better if it were voluntarily revealed.

The $40 million will be used for exhibit space in the new building to be located on the Bicentennial Mall in Nashville. It is clear there is still a long way to go to raise the money, and the game plan is a work in progress. â– Gov. Bill Haslam and Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett celebrate birthdays next week, with Haslam turning 58 on Tuesday, Aug. 23, and Burchett reaching 52 on Wednesday, Aug. 24.

government The joke’s on ‌

By Betty Bean The rumor that Gloria Johnson might switch districts started the day state Rep. Joe Armstrong was convicted in federal court of filing a false income tax return and stripped of his office. “I was out in South Knoxville at a volunteer meeting that night and noticed my Twitter feed had a tweet from a College Republican about me moving to the 15th District. I thought, ‘What a ridiculous rumor,’� said Johnson, who held the 13th District seat 2012-2014, when she was defeated for re-election by Republican Eddie Smith.

Johnson is squaring off against Smith in November.

At about the same time, a GOP-connected blogger posted a rumor that Johnson was being “encouraged� to go for the 15th District seat, which will be filled Aug. 18 by the 15th District members of the Knox County Democratic Party’s executive committee.

District 13 is mostly North Knoxville, plus Sequoyah Hills and a swath of the western end of South Knoxville. District 15, which Armstrong represented for 28 years, is mostly East Knoxville plus a chunk of the east side of South Knoxville. The only residency requirement (beyond state and national citizenship) is that the candidate must be a resident of the district on Election Day. Johnson said the next thing she heard about it was from Democratic Party chair Cameron Brooks, who said he had been “approached� about this as well. “I just laughed. Hysterically. I couldn’t believe this was actually being discussed, it’s so outrageous.

This is the district I know, and this is the district I represented. It’s not fair to the people in the 13th or the 15th for Republicans to cut some backroom deal. “They are terrified I’m

going to win 13,� Johnson said. “And I am.�

Brooks said the first thing he heard was in a phone call from someone connected to the Republican Party. “He told me about it, and we both dismissed it as ridiculous. Then I heard from Gloria, and it became apparent that it was floating around in the blogosphere. Later, I was texting with (Knox County GOP chair) Buddy Burkhardt and mentioned it to him, and he kind of jokingly suggested it – I don’t think he was serious – and we agreed it was ridiculous.�

Burkhardt confirmed Brooks’ account: “I was joking,� he said.

But Johnson’s not laughing about state GOP Executive Director Brent Leatherwood issuing a press release after Armstrong’s conviction connecting her by name to Armstrong’s felony conviction. “They are smearing me while they’re the ones trying to cut a backroom deal.�

She said she feels good about her general-election prospects and backed up her claim with some numbers: 1,638 ballots cast in the Democratic Primary for Johnson versus 1,423 in the Republican Primary for Smith. This is a sharp contrast to the past two elections, where the Democrats drew far fewer votes than did the GOP. Brooks says Rick Staples is drawing the most vocal support in the race to replace Armstrong (the Republicans didn’t have a candidate on the primary ballot), and he believes the rumor started in Nashville. “It’s not a local GOP thing. I think it came from someone out of Nashville looking for a way to hold on to District 13 – ‘We’ll let Gloria have the 15th and won’t oppose her if you let Eddie have the 13th.’ It’s like they said, ‘Let’s see how stupid the Democrats are.’ �

GOSSIP AND LIES ■Rep. Jeremy Durham is history. Couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy.

you are Stand for Children, not much. The group spent $200,000 on four Nashville school board races and lost all four. Hat tip to Dave Boucher at The Tennessean for his coverage.

■Speaker Beth Harwell could become Durham’s final female victim; at least from his stint in the Legislature. ■Harwell did everything she could to banish Durham except call for a vote to expel him. And now the guys she protected from an up or down vote are lining up to oppose her re-election as speaker.

■Donald Trump was profiled by writer Mark Singer in New Yorker magazine back in 1996. Now, 20 years later, Singer has compiled his columns into a small book called, “Trump and Me.�

■Loudon County’s Jimmy Matlock has already announced for the job.

■Best tale: Trump responded to Singer’s first book with a lengthy, rambling review. He concluded that

â– What can $200,000 buy? If

Singer was depressed and a poor writer who “just doesn’t have what it takes.� ■Singer responded with a note and a check for $37.82 as payment for the review. ■Trump wrote back on Singer’s letter: “Mark, you are a total loser! And your book (and writings) sucks!� (s) Donald J. Trump. ■When his bank statement came at month’s end, Singer noticed his balance was $37.82 lighter. Trump had cashed the check! – S. Clark

Welcome home, Kinzy!

By Kip Oswald Kinzy is my older sister.

You might remember from the introductions a couple of weeks ago that she has been away for a while.

K i n z y has not always made good choicKinzy Oswald es since she started high school. Last year she struggled with several of the subjects in her course load and then dropped out of school.

She went to live with my grandmother for a few months because she gave birth to my nephew, Sammy.

Now that Sammy is a few months old, however, Kinzy has moved back home and wants to finish high school.

Because of the issues Kinzy had in her past high school, the guidance counselor recommended to Mom that Kinzy apply to the Paul Kelley Volunteer Academy.

So what is Paul Kelley Academy and why is it so different from the typical high school?

Paul Kelley is housed inside Knoxville Center Mall.

It has seven classrooms, a library and a few offices.

Looking at the front door, you would not realize what lies inside. This school provides a place where students can actualize their dream of graduating high school in a truly individualized teacher-to-student environment.

My mom was so excited after meeting principal Janice Cook that she talked about her all night! Mom said Ms. Cook seemed to have the ability to see past where young people are at present, and help them see where they can go. This is exactly what Kinzy needs!

Mom said Ms. Cook will be Kinzy’s champion at school to help her gain academic competence and confidence. Kinzy is excited about the teachers who will allow her to work at her own pace – and with individual instruction to help her master the skills she needs to graduate. Also, the school day is only four hours long, so Kinzy can go in the afternoon when Grammie is off work to watch Sammy.

Kinzy and Mom see this as a school of second chances for people like Kinzy.

Clay’s grandmother sauntered up. “You might say so.� “Don’t be shy, son. Show them your sign.�

customers with their groceries. Open your purse strings. I’m matching them dollar for dollar. Would you excuse me? I need to call the newspaper.�

Nick felt uncomfortable as Clay’s grandmother stared at them with knowing eyes. “Helping the homeless, are we?�

They nodded.

Nick was relieved when Clay’s mother sighed. “I thought I got rid of those jeans. You’re just full of surprises, Clay. But how can I be angry when you’re doing something so nice?�

She turned to Jazz. “What does your sign say, dear?�

Jazz held it up. “You’re telling jokes for the homeless?�

They nodded. “People get their money back if they don’t laugh,� Jazz said. “I hope it’s a whopper of a joke.� Nick could tell that Clay’s grandmother was trying not to smile.

Clay’s mother glanced at her shopping cart. “The ice cream’s melting,� she said. “Be a dear, Clay, and take the groceries to the car.� “I’ll show him where it is,� said Clay’s grandmother, taking his elbow in her hand. “Do you get paid extra for helping an old lady walk?� She chuckled.

Clay’s mother turned to Nick and Jazz. “Does your mother know what you’re doing?�

Nick shook his head. We’re in trouble now! he thought. “Should I call her?� “I suppose,� Nick said. What would their mother think?

Clay’s mother hesitated as she turned to go. “One more thing. I don’t know where you kids came up with this idea, but make sure Clay gives every penny to the homeless. OK?�

Nick smiled. “Yes, ma’am,� he said.

Boomer’s owner, with Boomer in his arms, greeted them as they walked back to the Scudsy-Sudsy. “I knew you’d be back!�

Grateful, Nick smiled. “Just so you know, the dollar you gave us is going to help the homeless.� “Wonderful! In that case you need more business!� Boomer’s owner disappeared into the Laundromat. Soon a loose line stood in front of Jazz and Nick.

The next couple of hours were busy.

Starting with Boomer’s owner, Jazz whispered her joke over and over, trying not to laugh, her face funnier than the joke. Nearly everybody laughed for her. Only once did Nick and Jazz have to give money back.

Whenever Nick glanced toward the SuperDuper, Clay was stretched out, pushing a

loaded cart.

When the newspaper reporter arrived, Nick and Jazz could barely fit another coin or bill into their pockets. As if by magic, Mr. Jerry appeared, pulling Clay behind him.

The reporter got her pen and pad ready. She looked at the sign Jazz held. “Want to share your joke with our readers?�

Jazz held out her hand. “Got a quarter?�

The reporter laughed.

Mr. Jerry grinned. “Aren’t these kids something? When you’re writing this story, would you mention that I’m issuing a challenge to other business leaders in this community to match these kids dollar for dollar, just like me?� “You got it,� the reporter said, taking notes. She looked up. “Here comes the photographer.� A car belching blue smoke pulled up. “Let’s get some photos! Then I’ll ask questions.� “So much for being rich!� Clay grumped as they posed. “But we’re famous,� Nick said. Curious people were gathered around. More people to tell Jazz’s joke to, he thought. “I’d rather be rich,� Clay muttered.

Nick checked Clay’s pockets for lumps of money. He didn’t see many. The record was probably his. But just in case...

He flashed a smile just before the camera clicked. “About my mom’s groceries. I don’t feel right taking your mother’s stuff. Give me the twenty-dollar bill so Jazz and I can shop before we go home.� “Man!� Clay moaned. He frowned but reached into his pocket. “You’re wiping me out! I was too busy pushing carts to make much,� he whined. “What was your joke, anyway?�

Jazz cleared her throat, hunching her shoulders and speaking softly to keep new customers from hearing. “Why did the rooster cross the road?�

Mr. Jerry, the reporter, and the photographer leaned close enough to hear.

Clay shrugged. “Should I care? OK. Why?� “Because he wasn’t dead.� She wanted to laugh so much, her face must have hurt.

The reporter and photographer laughed.

Mr. Jerry laughed. “That’s the stupidest joke I ever heard!�

Clay said, staring at Jazz. But then a burplike, nervous giggle popped from his mouth. He tried to hold the laughter inside, but when he started laughing, he couldn’t stop for several minutes.

A world record? Naw. But maybe a record for Clay.

Y’all come on down!

Christ UMC’s Bluegrass and Barbecue night open to all

faith

By Jake Mabe You don’t have to be a Methodist to come on down to Christ United Methodist Church’s upcoming community night, but you probably should be a bluegrass or barbecue fan. Or, at least, like good music.

The church is hosting Bluegrass and Barbecue, an event open to any and all, beginning at 4 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 1. Don Dixon, a member who’s coordinating the event, got the idea after the church’s recent restoration and new-addition projects were finished.

“This January, I thought, ‘OK, what are we going to do with this?’ We just wanna be welcoming to the community. We thought, ‘We’re here; we’re pretty good folks; come see us.’”

And they are, indeed.

Take my word for it.

Plus, you’ll get to hear a band I’ve heard, local boys Highway 33, as well as a group from Chattanooga, Caney Creek Company, that’s getting a lot of good buzz. Dixon says they’re going to play two sets.

“We’ve got a drop-off, and we’re going to create a stage there. And we’re hop-

According to what I read and heard on the website, Caney Creek Company is an eclectic group of young musicians who are doing what the Country Gentlemen and the Seldom Scene did in their day – pulling from various sources to create a sound. They call it folk/ rock. I heard a little Avett Brothers. I heard the echoes of something along the lines of Halls guy Paul Brewster and the old Knoxville Grass

■ Seeking Vendors

I don’t often wade into political territory. I have my opinions, to which I am entitled, just as you are entitled to your own.

However, I have been dismayed in recent weeks by the tone of some of the rhetoric in our process. There have been harsh words as well as accusations and childish “nanna-nanna-boo-boo” remarks made.

I am old enough to remember when candidates referred to each other as “my worthy opponent.” I remember respect and dignity among political foes.

We have serious business to conduct. We need to do so respectfully, with clarity of purpose, with willingness to listen to each other, with a good grip on our awareness that we are in this together.

We have wounds to heal in places where some of our own citizens have murdered and assaulted their fellow Americans for being different from themselves.

We have groups of people in the world who will do us harm if they can because we worship differently than they do, or because they envy our freedom, or because they are just plain hate-filled.

In the middle of all that hatred, there is woundedness across the world, including here in our own country: millions who are hungry, homeless, fearful, lost, sick, lonely.

What are we going to do? Wring our hands? Turn our backs? Close our eyes? Cover our ears?

I hope not. I hope the people of faith across this land and across this globe will see the need and do something about it.

As Hosea said, “The people … shall be gathered together” and “great shall be the day.”

DeRoyal moves toward technology

By Sandra Clark DeRoyal’s plants in Powell and Maynardville are just a piece of a multinational company based in North Knox C ount y.

And it’s a company that’s ready Smith for the 21st century.

Michael Smith, brand marketing manager for DeRoyal, spoke last week to the Powell Business and Professional Association.

Smith, an Atlanta native, worked his way up from

sales to management over 17 years at DeRoyal. “The company is moving from products to technology,� he said. That’s reflected in DeRoyal’s tag line: “Improving Care. Improving Business.�

You know the story. DeRoyal was founded by Pete DeBusk some 43 years ago.

DeBusk continues to live on Cunningham Road in Halls, just west of the house where he created his boot cast, the first of many innovative products DeBusk successfully marketed to the medical community.

DeBusk’s business started as STAT Medical, Smith said, and in 1978, DeBusk moved to Beaver Creek Drive in

Powell where his first plant continues in operation. He built plants in Maynardville, New Tazewell and Rose Hill, Va., before launching acquisitions that led to ownership of plants worldwide.

Now DeRoyal employs 1,900 people (300 of them at the corporate headquarters in Powell). “We hold 100 patents, have sales in 74 countries and produce 25,000 SKUs (unique products),� said Smith.

He outlined the product line, especially the surgical kits that are packaged so that what the doctor needs is on top. He talked about wound care, acute care, orthopedics and OEM

(original equipment manufacturing). There are lots of acronyms in the DeRoyal vocabulary.

Smith showed a video of a futuristic medical center in which inventory is monitored in a “vault,� and reorders are automatic when inventory falls to a predetermined level. This ensures the facility won’t run out of supplies but keeps inventory lean.

The inventory is tracked by both doctor and patient, Smith said.

And DeRoyal is a fun place to work. The corporate headquarters includes a workout area and a basketball court. “And we get free fruit daily,� said Smith.

Insurance: Buy it while you can

By Sandra Clark R. Larry Smith, former county commissioner and former county Republican Party chair, should be known for selling life insurance. The man is a selling machine.

He’s made the Million Dollar Roundtable for 30 consecutive years, an honor reached by about

Smith

two percent of those in insurance sales, he said.

Smith was the spotlight speaker at the Powell Business and Professional Association’s August meeting.

His advice: “Buy life insurance before you’re out of shape.�

He compared the choice of term or whole life insurance to

“renting or buying� and said buyers should do what they can within their budget. Smith calls his agency “a one-man show,� with assistance from wife Sharon. His favorite client: a small business owner. Smith has offices in Halls and Fountain City. He has clients all over Knox County.

Alex Kail heads to Germany

Alexander Ian Kail – Alex – flies out into the “unknown� today for a year in Paderborn, Germany, as a Rotary Youth Exchange student. His year abroad is sponsored by the Rotary Club of Farragut.

Alex says he’s not nervous at all. “I’m excited about what I don’t know is coming up. I’m looking forward to the unknown, and I don’t think I’ve ever been nervous in my life about anything,� he says. Alex will celebrate his 18th birthday on Feb. 19, 2017, in Germany. “I’m always open to change. I get tired and bored with the ordinary.�

Alex is the son of Keith and Jennifer Kail. He has two sisters, Amanda, 20, Alex Kail and Aaren, 13. “I’ve always wanted a brother, and I’ll have one in Germany with my first host family. His name is Finn Kulig,� Alex says. Alex will arrive in Dusseldorf on Thursday morning, and his host family is driving from there to the Frankfurt airport to say goodbye to their daughter, Emma. She is off to Argentina as a Rotary exchange student for a year.

Alex graduated from Farragut High School in May. He combined his junior and senior years into one while he worked two part-time jobs. “All I did was study and work,� he says. He took two years of German classes at Farragut and will take more German classes in Paderborn.

Alex says he’ll miss family and friends. “But it’s OK. I’ll see them again,� he says. What else will he miss? “Chicken pot pie. I love it. I hope they have something similar over there.�

Our only other outbound RYE student from Knoxville, Julia Kestner, left a week ago for Sukhothai, Thailand.

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

Volunteer Stephen Minister Training offered at Ft. Sanders

Charlotte Wolfenbarger (right), with her husband, David, is grateful for the quick action from the team of medical experts at the Comprehensive Stroke Center at Fort Sanders Regional.

Time for a miracle

Clot-buster speeds Knoxville woman’s recovery from stroke It was snowing hard. Flakes as big as snowballs were falling onto Charlotte Wolfenbarger’s face as paramedics wheeled her stretcher down the ramp and into the waiting ambulance.

Less than 30 minutes earlier, she had opened her blinds and stretched across her bed to watch it snow. But then, her left foot shook violently a couple of times and her entire left side went numb. Her left arm was fixed in a curl up to her chin and her foot was so dead she couldn’t feel the floor beneath her.

Was it a stroke? She suspected so, but because she could still talk, she didn’t know for certain. Neither did her husband, David, nor did the paramedics. But once she made it to Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center’s Emergency Department five miles away, there was no doubt – she was diagnosed with an ischemic stroke, likely caused by atrial fibrillation – one of the leading risk factors in the 800,000 strokes in the United States each year.

“The scariest words I ever heard were when the doctor looked down at me and said, ‘Charlotte, you are having a stroke,’” she recalls.

Fortunately for Mrs. Wolfenbarger, she had sought treatment quickly enough that Arthur Moore, MD, a neurohospitalist and medical director of Fort Sanders Regional Stroke Center, was able to administer the clot-busting drug called tPA or tissue plasminogen activator, an intravenous thrombolytic that can prevent death or serious disability caused by strokes.

“I don’t know how many minutes it took, but it was quick,” said Mr. Wolfenbarger. “I was sitting there beside her, and she said, ‘I can move my foot and feel it now.’ And I took her arm and moved it. If we moved it, it would move.

Then she said, ‘Look here!’ and she moved her fingers!”

“They hadn’t even finished giving me the IV before I could move my foot,” said Mrs. Wolfenbarger. “It was a miracle! A total miracle!”

“I don’t claim to be a miracle worker – that one God can have,” said Dr. Moore. “We just do what we can to help people.”

Miracle or not, Mrs. Wolfenbarger was discharged the next day and her symptoms today are “so minimal that no one but a neurologist would find them,” says Dr. Moore.

“They won’t interfere with her life whatso-

ever. That’s the important part.

The FDA approved tPA almost two decades ago but even today it has been characterized as “vastly underutilized.” In fact, more than 80 percent of the population lives within a onehour drive of a hospital capable of administering tPA, but only four percent of those people actually receive it.

Why? The reasons vary, not the least of which is that tPA can be fatal when administered too late or incorrectly. “There’s been a lot of negative press about tPA from some in the emergency department community and others saying ‘We don’t like this drug – it increases our liability,’” said Dr. Moore. “But to be quite honest, they’re just wrong. There is so much favorable evidence right now that not giving it is what gets them into trouble.”

The greatest reason tPA isn’t being used frequently enough, however, is time. FDA rules require that tPA be given within 3 hours (or, in certain cases, as late as 4.5 hours) of a stroke’s first signs. For that reason, it’s important to note the time when symptoms (sudden confusion or speaking; sudden numbness or weakness of face, arm or leg on one side; sudden trouble walking, dizziness or loss of balance; sudden headache with no known cause or sudden vision impairment) first appear.

All too often, however, patients either fail to recognize those signs or discount their significance and delay treatment.

“The brain is a lot like real estate – everything is ‘location, location, location’ because each area of the brain controls something different,” said Dr. Moore. “Even experienced doctors can miss the signs. It does happen. If the stroke hits in some of these areas that are relatively not important in the brain, then you may not have any symptoms, or very mild symptoms, and the paramedics may not have noticed it. That does happen. Usually, though, the paramedics tend to be very aggressive with identifying potential stroke patients, and we appreciate that because it lets us get patients in – if they didn’t have a stroke, then we haven’t lost anything.”

The best stroke centers, like Fort Sanders, are certified by both the Joint Commission and the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association. That certification ensures

patients receive the best and fastest care possible by creating Acute Stroke Teams that utilize best practices. These teams of emergency department physicians, neurologists, radiologists and nurses continually search for ways to reduce the “Door-To-Needle” time – a measurement of the time elapsed between entering the ER to receiving tPA. “The national benchmark is 60 minutes, and we are currently at 45 minutes,” said Dr. Moore. “And when I am on, it’s right around 30 minutes. I’m proud of that.”

As soon as a stroke is identified, paramedics put Fort Sanders’ Acute Stroke Team on standby. When the patient comes through the emergency department doors, the Stroke Team is immediately paged as the patient receives an identification wrist bracelet and has blood drawn before being sent directly to the CT department.

There, they are met by Dr. Moore or his partner, James Hora, MD. After a quick exam, the patient gets the CT scan while the hospital’s pharmacy is preparing the tPA. “By the end of that scan, I generally know if I am going to be able to offer them tPA,” said Dr. Moore, who then discusses the risks and benefits with the patient and their family as he accompanies the patient back to their room.

“If they refuse it, fine – we’ve lost a vial of medicine and that’s OK,” said Dr. Moore. “But if they say, ‘Yes, go ahead. I don’t want to live like this. Give me the best chance you can,’ it’s ready to go as soon as they get into the room once we’ve made sure that their blood pressure is OK. That’s about all that it takes. But it’s making sure you follow this very clearly defined process again and again and again that gets you in the mindset you can reduce the times and that’s what’s made the biggest differences.”

Charlotte Wolfenbarger is thankful she took that chance.

“People think, ‘I’m going to wait to see if this goes away. I couldn’t be having a stroke!’ or ‘I don’t want to look stupid by going to the hospital.’ But they’re not going to think you’re stupid.

Don’t sit and wait to see what’s going to happen next because you are going to get worse. Call an ambulance and go straight to Fort Sanders Regional because they are equipped for it. Don’t go anywhere else.”

The Pastoral Care Department at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center will present a Stephen Ministry information meeting at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 25.

Stephen Ministry is a program providing Christian spiritual caregiving to people who are hospitalized and to their loved ones. A Stephen Minister comes alongside a person whose life has been affected by illness or other crisis situations and provides one-on-one support.

“This is a wonderful opportunity for people in our community to learn the skills needed to make a big difference in the lives of people who are suffering,” said Chaplain Randy Tingle.

Training begins with workshops on Sept.

22-23, and continues with a weekly class held on Thursday evenings. Stephen Ministers complete 50 hours of specialized hospital-based classes as well as participate in ongoing continuing education opportunities.

Graduates of the program commit to serve with the hospital chaplains as volunteer Stephen Ministers in the hospital for one hour per week for two years.

In addition to Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center, Stephen Ministers also serve at Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center and Thompson Cancer Survival Center. For more information, or to receive an application contact Chaplain Randy Tingle at 865- 541-1235.
