If last Friday night is any indication, Halls High is going to have one heck of a 100th birthday.

Buzz Bissinger says everything burns brighter under “Friday Night Lights,� and I’m here to tell you that, at least for a few hours, Texas had nothing on Tennessee.

In the high school commons area before the game, a group of guys was talking football. And I mean football, three yards and a cloud of dust, forget facemasks, targeting penalties and artificial turf.

Jackie Mayo, executive director of HomeSource East Tennessee, wants people to better understand affordable housing and the people who need it.

Affordable housing is, of course, what you can afford. But that definition is more complex than it seems, said Mayo at a fundraising breakfast held last week. Experts recommend spending no more than 30 percent of income on housing, but those with low incomes might spend as much as 70 percent on rent. “That’s not sustainable. They wind up getting evicted.�

Service workers, like daycare employees and nursing assistants, are at the greatest risk of losing housing or living in poor conditions, and they’re an important part of the community. “Affordable housing doesn’t get the positive attention it deserves,� she said. “Where you live matters.�

Open House October 3.

HomeSource East Tennessee is a new name for an organization that’s been providing affordable, high-quality housing for lowand moderate-income residents for 25 years. Knox Housing Partnership was renamed last year so it could better reach out to surrounding counties.

The nonprofit serves the community by developing and redeveloping homes for purchase, educating and counseling potential homebuyers, and providing affordable rental homes for those with low to moderate incomes and seniors.

Developing and redeveloping rental property has become a big focus, say Herc Ligdis, chair of the HomeSource East Tennessee board.

The nonprofit currently owns and manages 200 rental units.

There’s a “glaring need� for reasonable, high-quality housing in the rental market right now, he says.

One of the biggest problems with low-income housing is high

Three alums representing that magical 1986 state champ cheer squad were there, too, and everybody wore red – on T-shirts and in the glow of their grins.

The band fired up the theme from “2001: A Space Odyssey,� the students started screaming and the team stormed down the hill.

The South-Doyle game kicked off and everything was electric – literally. Lightning delayed things for 45 minutes.

Those who stayed were treated to a 39-37 thriller in which Caden Harbin was responsible for well more than 400 of Halls’ 452 yards of offense, scored six touchdowns, made a sack and blocked a punt.

utility bills. Older buildings typically have poor insulation and inefficient heat and air systems. But HomeSource East Tennessee sets a high priority on quality, LEEDcertified construction and redevelopment.

The nonprofit Jackie Mayo also recognizes that seniors have special housing needs and that the senior population is growing. Ligdis is especially proud of the newly constructed Blueberry Ridge Senior Community in Powell, which has 30 LEED-certified units with zero-step entrances. Some units are ADA-compliant. Those who meet an income restriction pay $646 for a two-bedroom apartment.

Board vice chair Jackie Clay shared her experience with the nonprofit during the breakfast.

She was a casualty when the market tanked and went from having a good job to having no job.

She eventually landed a job that didn’t pay enough for her to move after she started working for her church’s nonprofit.

After seeing an advertisement for an East Knoxville home for sale through Knox Housing Partnership, she began parking in front of the house and imagining it was hers. She eventually arranged a lease purchase. Her relationship with the organization continued after it paid for training that helped her land a job as an executive director for a nonprofit. “I owe so much to HomeSource,� she said.

ago the hard way – he earned it. He said he’d visited one of his daughters and her husband in Abu Dhabi. Dink finally got tired of saying “I beg your pardon?� to everybody, so he just nodded and grinned. A good coach never forgets how to call an audible, even in the United Arab Emirates.

Carl Tindell, who got this centennial event rolling with help from Chris Vandergriff and Jim McManus, welcomed everybody and said, “Go have fun.� And we did.

Outside, the cheerleaders and the band held alumni events. I saw several familiar faces from the group that cheered when Trina Polston tapped me to be the first modern-era Red Devil mascot.

News from Tennova Health & Fitness

Tennova Health & Fitness Center’s

It’s not just stretching. Tennova’s trained yoga practitioners can help you find strength and stability through this 5000-year-old practice.

Open House is for you

By Carol Z. Shane It’s time for you – right now, before the holidays – to get your fitness routine in place, and Tennova Health & Fitness Center is offering a great opportunity.

On Monday, Oct. 3, they’re having an Open House. “It’s our way of opening up our doors to the community and allowing the community to see how we’ve grown,” says executive fitness manager Nicole Yarbrough.

Tennova’s fitness team members are exercise experts, but they also know human nature. There’s a reason they schedule their thrice-yearly Open Houses on Mondays. Speaking of those who are attempting to maintain a consistent fitness plan, fitness associate Rhonda Garrison says, “If they didn’t do what they were supposed to do with their exercise over the weekend, then it’s always Monday – they start back up on Monday.”

Of those who are undecided about a fitness plan, Yarbrough says, “An Open House gives those people who have been on the fence for a while an opportunity to take the plunge. Sometimes it’s easier if they know they’re coming for a free day.”

Garrison agrees. “They get to experience what we have to offer with no strings attached. We let the facility sell itself.”

And sell itself it does. With two pools, an indoor and outdoor track, state-ofthe-art fitness equipment – including more than 65 commercial-grade cardio“Some people join just for the invascular workout machines – group fitdoor track” says Tennova’s executive ness room, dedicated cycle room with fitness manager Nicole Yarbrough.

In addition, there’s a lot of oh-so-important behind-thescenes work that keeps the facility at optimum level.

At Tennova Health & Fitness you’ll find state“We work really of-the-art exercise equipment, trainer support, hard to maintain the facility,” camaraderie and lots of fun. says Garrison.

“We want to offer even those who have left us a chance to come back and see what’s new.” If you’re one of the former members who’s had to step away for whatever reasons – lifestyle changes, job changes, a baby’s arrival – the Open House is a fantastic opportunity to see the continued improvements and added fitness attractions that Tennova has to offer.

Garrison and Yarbrough are good examples of the kind of caring staff that Tennova Health & Fitness tends to attract and keep. Both are roughly 17-year veterans of the facility.

They’ve seen families grow and develop here. They’ve taught kids who later brought their kids. They’re in it for the long haul, and that says a lot.

Most of Tennova’s members have joined from referrals, and they’re encouraged to continue the tradition by bringing a friend. Age is of no importance. Tennova has members from 13 to 99 years old.

“Our average age is 50,” says Garrison. “We are a very diverse facility; we accommodate all fitness levels. We really try to tailor every workout to each individual’s needs.”

Why not check them out? Tennova Health & Fitness Center’s Open House happens from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday, Oct. 3 at the facility, located at 7540 Dannaher Drive off Emory Road. For more info: TennovaFitness.com or 865-859-7900.

Two pools – one junior Olympic-size, the other a warm pool for therapeutic use – are ready and waiting for you at Tennova Health & Fitness Center.

Tennova personal trainers are always ready to help you with your fitness goals

What’s better than a massage? Tennova Health & Fitness Center offers a full range of spa services.

Elite kids alert One of the many improvements you’ll find when you visit Tennova Health & Fitness’s Open House is in the kids’ program, known as Elite Kids. While the parents are exercising, the kids are active in a fitness program of their own, all at no extra charge.

Now’s your chance to not only address your own fitness and provide a good example, but have the kids join in. It’s all part of a healthy, lifelong practice.

“Your children are joining as members – free with adult membership,” says Garrison. “They are taking an active part in fitness themselves.” What a gift to give those most precious to you.

Cassie needs a home

Cassie, a 3yo retriever mix would dearly love to have her own home and a family she can love and trust. She has been waiting several months for this to happen. Cassie was abandoned by her owners and prior to that was obviously not shown a lot of love or attention, life at the end of a chain. Once she gets to know you she wants to much to give love and kisses. We are looking for a local family who would be willing to come and meet Cassie and spend some quality time with her, in a location she is very familiar with, before she goes to her new permanent home. Cassie like all Heartland dogs, is up-to-date with all vaccinations, on heartworm preventative and microchipped.

Travel companions Charlie and Sharon Busler and Bill and Gail Gray touring Denali in Alaska.

Sharon and Charles Busler took an airplane tour to stand on a glacier on Denali in Alaska.

Tiny townships like Beulah in South Dakota were common as Charlie and Sharon Busler explored the western U.S. “This would be a town that would be interesting if you are running for office,� joked Charlie, a Knox County commissioner.

This maple bacon sundae in Dayton, S.D., was a hit with the Buslers on their recent travels, so they made the dessert for family and friends upon their return.

To Alaska and back with Buslers and friends

By Shannon Carey

Charlie and Sharon Busler just got back from what they’re calling “the trip of a lifetime,� and their story will make you want to hit the open road and see the sights from sea to shining sea. Traveling by plane, train and automobile, the pair and some close friends went from Knoxville to Alaska and back over a month’s time.

Sharon has been married to Charlie, a Knox County commissioner serving District 7 (Halls and Powell), for two years. A member of Gibbs High School’s class of 1966, she’s still close with her classmates. They meet for dinner once a month and have a retreat in Townsend once a year. Since they’ve started reaching retirement age, the group has planned longer trips together. “I have the best graduat-

ing class that’s ever been,� said Sharon. “We are lifelong friends, some of us from the first grade.�

For the 50th anniversary of their graduation, the class members wanted to do something special, Sharon said. Class member Judye Gribble organized a trip to Alaska for August 2016.

About 13 classmates, plus spouses, family and friends, visited the most northern state for a cruise, including side trips and a train excursion to Denali.

After the cruise, the Buslers teamed up with Sharon’s cousin Gail Gray and her husband, Bill, for an Amtrak ride to Seattle, then a meandering journey across the American West back home to Knoxville. Along the way, they saw gorgeous scenery, national monuments like Mount Rushmore, Yosemite and Glacier

national parks, an array of wildlife including humpback whales, and tourist sites like Wall Drug (South Dakota’s equivalent of Rock City, with signs promoting it for hundreds of miles). They put more than 3,200 miles on their rented van from Seattle to Knoxville.

Their most memorable experience, though, was in Alaska in Denali National Park. Denali is the mountain formerly officially known as Mount McKinley, America’s tallest peak. The Buslers took a plane excursion to stand on a glacier in the park. “The weather was unbelievable,� said Charlie. The pilot told them that Denali’s peaks were not normally visible due to cloud cover, but the Buslers got a beautiful view and were awestruck by the massive glacier. “God was good to us,� said Sharon. “Gail and Bill

Cheers for the Red

and Charlie and I were just amazed by God’s creation.� “Pictures just can’t explain it,� said Charlie. “It has to be experienced. The glacier water was an unbelievable blue, and the ice breaking sounded like a cannon going off. It was every bit worth it.�

Other moments stick out as well. They saw humpback whales doing a rarely seen “bubble feeding,� had a close encounter with a grizzly bear (from inside a tour bus), and Charlie drove up Glacier National Park’s Road to the Sun. Sharon recalls with a smile that Charlie was driving and trying to point out sights of interest while Sharon sat in the back with Gail, saying, “Charlie, get your hands back on the wheel!�

One of Sharon’s favorite places was Mount Rushmore and the nearby continuing mountain sculpture to commemorate Crazy Horse. The group arrived at

Mount Rushmore at dusk in time for a patriotic program and the lighting of the monument. “When you think about all that is going on in the nation and the way we’re separating ourselves from each other, and then you see that program, you can almost see a tear coming out of George Washington’s eye,� said Charlie.

Charlie said everyone they met was pleasant and ready to help. Some chance encounters also earned a smile, like the diner in Dayton, S.D., that served maple bacon sundaes. The server’s parents were from Crossville, Tenn., and the Buslers liked the dessert so much that they made it for their friends and family upon arriving home.

In the Wall Drug parking lot, the group happened upon a car bearing a Knox County license plate. Charlie left his card and a nice note.

The landscape was also dotted with tiny townships like Beulah, S.D., population 33. Charlie took a picture of the town sign. “This would be a town that would be interesting if you were running for office,� he quipped.

It was a wonderful trip, but the travelers were glad to get home. They’d thought about stopping in St. Louis to see the famous Gateway Arch, but once they got there they decided not to stop.

The Buslers recommend a trip like theirs to anyone who can do it. Charlie, who has been to Hawaii four times, said that given the choice between the islands and Alaska, he’d take Alaska every time. He also recommends a road trip like theirs. “What you fly over makes less of an impression than what you just drop in and see,� he said. “I enjoyed the trip, but I also enjoy East Tennessee because it’s my home.�

Potential end of turmoil and strife Florida presents Tennessee an opportunity to start to stop a lot of bad stuff.

A victory over the Gators might be the beginning of the end of turmoil and strife.

Indeed, a respite is needed. Nothing like these past few years has been previously inflicted on the university.

Think about it.

A president we never knew and seldom saw resigned because his wife talked too much. That president was replaced by another who somehow remains above the fray. Relative invisibility is a rare trait of commanders.

Some schools conduct national searches for top leadership. Astute UT trustees searched the same zip code, 32611, downtown Gainesville. They found a

Speaking of searches, we spent $90,000 to find Dave, one phone call away?

ing coach at Louisiana Tech with the expectation of SEC success. Mike Hamilton did it, accepted a solid gold parachute and flew away.

Dave Hart, aforementioned athletic director/vice chancellor, got lucky. His first choice to replace Dooley left him at the altar. Dave chose Butch on the rebound.

Dave was not otherwise so fortunate. The Pat Summitt saga was a sad (heartbreaking) experience. In the name of better branding, Dave picked a poor fight with Lady Vols disciples.

He managed the merger of athletic departments as directed. It was economically logical. Fallout made it a disaster. Women who felt slighted sued and collected.

Debby Jennings won $320,000. A trio of former trainers got at least $1.05 million. Hart did

save $40,000 by forcing out longtime sports information specialist Bud Ford.

The university endured additional unbudgeted expenditures. The recent Title IX lawsuit cost $2.48 million plus $555,356 in legal fees plus $240,000 for public relations polish and $250,000 for reviews. The meter is still running.

Basketball? Now there is a story. Clean Cuonzo Martin felt disrespected and went west. Hart hired repentant Donnie Tyndall.

Past transgressions were whitewashed away.

Hart fired Donnie Tyndall after other sins popped up. Hire-fire was not Hart’s finest hour.

Fate provided an immediate fi x. Texas fired Rick Barnes. Hart grabbed the hall of fame coach. His reward was the worst season in 20 years.

Oh, almost forgot the goofy UT hall of fame (no

Bob Neyland, no Todd Helton, no Jimmy England), track closed for a year because of rehab miscalculations, baseball eclipse, 34th in the Directors’ Cup national measurement of how schools are doing in athletics – all incidental.

Time for change? Chancellor Jimmy G. Cheek submitted a reassignment plan based on easy money. Hart accepted money to resign.

Retirement was not his preference. He sought a contract extension. The president who seldom speaks said no.

Hart undoubtedly had many significant accomplishments. My favorites are academic improvement and financial stability. He got the right guy to run Thornton Center and deposited SEC checks in the correct account.

I’m working on the Cheek list.

Sidewalks in neighborhoods would be a good start Those Who Pay Attention know that the KnoxvilleKnox County Metropolitan Planning Commission has been working on new subdivision requirements.

The final draft was on this month’s MPC agenda, but staff requested a one-month postponement to allow for more public input.

This was primarily because the first draft of the document included language that required sidewalks to be installed on one side of the street in new city and county subdivisions while two subsequent drafts did not.

Those Who Pay Attention noticed the omission.

Representatives from the Council of West Knox County Homeowners, Community Forum, the Community Health Council and

Wendy Smith

Bike Walk Knoxville made it clear to commissioners that sidewalks are important to the community and they don’t want language requiring them in new subdivisions to fall through the cracks.

MPC Executive Director Gerald Green said the language was separated to address issues involving sidewalks, like where they should be and what to do when topography makes them infeasible. A vote on subdivision requirements was postponed until December to allow more time

for sidewalk discussion and public input.

A subcommittee, created by MPC chair Rebecca Longmire and Green, has been tasked by the city, county and MPC staff to develop a comprehensive sidewalk policy. In addition to Longmire, committee members are Jeff Roth, Scott Smith and Janice Tocher.

The public is welcome at committee meetings, which will be advertised at knoxmpc.org The fact that the sidewalk requirement was removed from subdivision requirements makes walkability advocates nervous. Bike Walk Knoxville president Caroline Cooley is already skeptical about local government’s commitment to sidewalks.

One of her “pet peeves” is

the lack of a sidewalk next to the Paper Mill Drive shopping center anchored by REI and Whole Foods − two health-oriented businesses.

The tenants asked the city to install sidewalks, but neither the city nor the developers were willing to foot the bill, in spite of the fact that there’s a KAT bus stop across Kingston Pike at the Bearden Branch Library.

Cooley thinks there could be pushback on a sidewalk requirement in the county.

But if developers are compelled to install sidewalks in new subdivisions, the cost will be absorbed by homeowners, which will allow funding for sidewalks in other parts of the community to stretch further, she says.

Neighborhood groups in both the city and the county

are clamoring for sidewalks, yet fewer than half of subdivisions built in 2015 have sidewalks. According to information compiled by MPC staff, two out of four subdivisions permitted in the city have sidewalks, as do 15 of 36 Knox County subdivisions. None was installed due to the generosity of developers. All were required.

Having sidewalks in subdivisions won’t make our community walkable, but it’s a good start. Green pointed out during the September MPC meeting that, to be fair, sidewalks need to be in commercial, multifamily and mixed-use areas as well as subdivisions.

It’s a big elephant, but it’s time to take the first bite.

GOSSIP AND LIES ■ Bill Dunn missed a community meeting last week because of the special legislative session. In an email exchange, I thanked him for voting to oust Rep. Jeremy Durham.

“As they say at Chick-fil-A, my pleasure,” Dunn responded.

■ Blame for the special session, which cost some $75,000, should stop at TDOT commissioner John Schroer. Running

a state agency means noticing legislation that could cost your department $60 million.

■ Eddie Smith had a slim crowd at a re-election fundraiser headlined by Gov. Bill Haslam last week. And many of the attendees, such as legislative colleagues, got comp tickets.

Haslams swap residences Gov. Bill and Crissy Haslam are moving from their longtime home in old Westmoreland on Sherwood Drive back to the house where the governor lived as a young teenager on Lyons Bend Road adjacent to the Tennessee River.

The Haslams will still be city residents as both homes are in the city. They will continue to be represented on City Council by Duane Grieve and on County Commission by Hugh Nystrom.

Martin Daniel is their state representative. Grieve is a Democrat, while Nystrom and Daniel are Republicans.

Bill Haslam is moving into the house that was occupied by his father for over 40 years before he and Natalie Haslam moved to Craigland Court this past year. Prior to the Haslams moving to Lyons Bend Road in the 1970s from Scenic Drive in Sequoyah Hills, the house was owned by the governor’s maternal grandmother, Hazel Lou Van Deventer, and her husband, James Van Deventer.

Reportedly, the Haslams are adding a swimming pool and renovating the kitchen area of the Old English brick home. The Lyons Bend house is not visible from the road as the Sherwood Drive house is.

UT also declined to say then if the first meeting, on Nov. 17, would be open to the public.

Two days later, UT acknowledged each is being paid $45,000 plus expenses and the meetings are closed, which triggered criticism. One wonders if UT is channeling studies like this through its law firm to lock out the public under the guise of attorney-client privilege. Why UT cannot give a direct answer to a direct question when asked is perplexing. It sends the wrong signal for an institution dedicated to education.

■ Mark Campen turns 41 on Sept. 27. He is the second youngest member of the Knoxville City Council.

Neighborhood activists reacted strongly to one of Mayor Tim Burchett’s new appointments to the 15-member Metropolitan Planning Commission. The city mayor gets seven appointments, the county mayor eight.

Tim Burchett Word went out Thursday that Burchett has tapped Chris Ooten, an executive with Safe Harbor Development whose resume also includes working for Weigel’s and Schaad Properties in zoning, development and construction.

East Knox County activist Lisa Starbuck was first to sound the alarm: “I have become aware that Mayor Burchett is planning to appoint yet another developer/builder to the MPC. The building/ development community is already well represented on the MPC with at least six members, and many people believe that a regular citizen should be appointed instead. This has nothing to do with the individual who is being considered for the appointment, who I am sure is a very nice person.

“This will be discussed at the County Commission work session on Monday, and we would like to see the nominee’s name withdrawn from consideration before it becomes too public,” Starbuck said.

Margot Kline, president of the Council of West Knox County Homeowners, joined in: “Chris Ooten appeared to be a fine human being when he worked as a real estate person for Schaad Builders and Weigel’s, but his appointment would stack the deck in favor of development. We need someone with ties to homeowner groups, families or schools – a regular person – not yet another developer.”

Betty Bean Then CWKCH secretary Judy Horn activated her massive email list: “We should tell the mayor that what is needed on the MPC is an ordinary citizen representing homeowner groups, families and schools. Act now.”

Ratification of Burchett’s three appointments is on the agenda for County Commission in September.

As of Saturday, Burchett was undeterred and defended his choice of Ooten by saying that development is important to the financial health of Knox County.

“You either develop available property or you raise taxes. And developers have to follow the rules. That’s the bottom line. The city has chosen to raise taxes. I don’t choose to do that.”

He pointed to his 2014 re-appointment of Laura Cole, a retired TVA executive and farm owner who has a keen interest in environmental issues.

“We need balance. The developers came to me and asked me why I wanted to put her on there. I told them, ‘Y’all can go jump in the lake.’ Developers complain; homeowners complain. That’s just the way it is.”

Ooten’s is not the only name Burchett is submitting this month. He has also reappointed sitting commissioners Herb Anders, whose resumé boasts more than 40 years of experience in the construction industry, and MPC’s senior member, Art Clancy III, whom many homeowners and neighborhood groups consider their bête noir.

Clancy has served 12 years on the MPC – 2004-12 as a city appointee and since 2012 as a county appointee.

A 2014 interlocal agreement between the city and county limits MPC commissioners to two consecutive terms.

Mentoring program helps kids fit in

By Sandra Clark Somebody at Union County High School just got really smart or really lucky.

Science teacher Danny Satterfield has organized a cadre of 60 juniors and seniors to work with younger kids to help them feel at home at the high school.

“We want to create a culture

here that’s inclusive and fun,” he said.

Last Friday was the first day for mentors (a voluntary position) to meet with their charges (compulsory twice monthly for every freshman and sophomore during home room). We discovered three amigos who get it.

Their leader is Jeffrey Ray.

“I had no one to help me,” he says. “Everybody needs a little help along the way.” He recruited friends A.J. Nantz and Marcus Savage.

A.J. says becoming a mentor was one of his best decisions. New to the school as a junior, the mentor training helped him make friends.

And Marcus is just proud to be there. He says as a kid he was often lonely. “Jeffrey was my first friend.” And then he met Satterfield. “He encouraged us to help others. … He’s like a father figure to me. He’s serious, but he can be funny. (Being in the mentor program) means a lot to me.”

Mentors Marcus Savage, A.J. Nantz and Jeffrey Ray They are young, but Mar- ers is satisfying and fun. cus, Jeffrey and A.J. have And that’s their first lesson found a theme. Helping oth- learned in fall 2016.

Fourth United Presbyterian Church

to host series on racism

By Carol Z. Shane A recent episode of CSPAN’s Washington Journal hosted a live caller. “I’m a white male, and I am prejudiced,” he said. In a matterof-fact, non-confrontational tone, the caller – a North Carolinian – stated that he has a fear of black people.

He asked Heather McGhee, a black guest on the program, “What can I do to change? You know, to be a better American?”

McGhee was visibly moved, and advised the man to get to know a black family, read black history and initiate conversations about race in his own community.

She thanked him for his honesty and for opening up the conversation because “it is simply one of the most important ones we have to have in this country.”

The Rev. Elizabeth Peterson of Knoxville’s Fourth United Presbyterian Church agrees. She’s leading a series on the topic of racism during the month of October.

Peterson traces the idea for the series back to her

a great deal of planning,” she formulated a workshop, beginning with individual interviews.

Participants were invited to explore their own experiences of race and their own ethnic backgrounds through various stages of their lives and in various public arenas such as school, work, neighborhood and entertainment.

“Included will be an overview of how the Bible has been used to promote racism throughout the centuries as well as some common pitfalls and mistakes that white people make, otherwise known as unconscious or internalized bias.”

Everyone is encouraged to take part in this eyeopening and ultimately healing experience. “It’s important to talk directly about racism with church leaders and folks in the immediate community,” says Peterson, “not just gloss over it and pretend it isn’t there.” The event is 6-8 p.m. on successive Wednesdays, Oct. 19 and 26, at Fourth United Presbyterian Church, 1323 North Broadway in Knoxville.

The last day of summer The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved. Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there? For the hurt of my poor people I am hurt, I mourn, and dismay has taken hold of me.

(Jeremiah 8:20-21 NRSV) Today is officially the last day of summer. I know there are people (especially schoolchildren) who dread seeing the end of summer; they are the folks who don’t mind the heat, who work on their tans, who hate the thought of cooler weather. There are even people who decamp to the warm Southwest until fall and winter are over!

Then there are people like me.

When I hear the first leaves rustle, I know it is almost my time! Autumn will be here soon: The skies are bluer, the stars are brighter, the air is cooler and clearer.

However, the Jeremiah text quoted above is not a joyful observation. The first verse ends with these words: “and we are not saved.”

Jeremiah was lamenting over the circumstances of his people. They were suffering from drought, and apparently the resin from the Styrax tree (widely used for medicinal purposes) was not produced in the needed amounts that year. That lack was the reason for Jeremiah’s famous cry: “Is there no balm in Gilead?”

(And, of course, the source of the beloved spiritual that declares that indeed “There Is a Balm in Gilead.”)

On this last day of summer, I cry with Jeremiah for all those who suffer, for children without food, for the elderly who are waiting for release, for the sick who have little hope, for the frightened, the despairing, the lonely, the dying.

Offer a prayer, a smile, a call, a visit, a card.

Be a balm.

Taylor Fry is new Union County Young Life leader

By Shannon Carey Expect to see a new face at Union County High School football games, and even the school lunchroom.

Taylor Fry of Young Life Knoxville, former Halls High School Young Life leader, is heading to UCHS to get the organization started there.

He’ll be talking to kids and trying to build interest in the program, he said during the Union County Business and Professional Association meeting Sept. 13.

Young Life got started in 1941.

Based in C olor ad o, Taylor Fry of Young Life Knoxthe orgaville, former Halls High School nization is Young Life leader, is the new now interYoung Life leader for Union national, County. Photos by S. Carey with chapters in 93

countries. Knoxville Young Life is the longest-running chapter east of the Mississippi River, Fry said, which makes it ironic that Union County has never had a chapter.

But Fry and many local folks want to remedy that. A committee was established last spring to get Young Life rolling at UCHS. Initial organizational meetings were led by Tim Teague of Young Life Knoxville.

“I’m honored to pick up the mantle and come up here and get Young Life started,” said Fry. The Christian ministry organization is not affiliated with any church. Fry said all kids are welcome no matter what church they attend or if they don’t attend church at all. The club meets off school grounds on Tuesday

evenings; exact date, time and place will be announced when plans are finalized.

Meetings consist of games, music and a message.

“We throw a party for our friends,” said Fry. “A big part of Young Life is hanging out with kids. We welcome any kid. We want to know every kid in the high school. I met the Lord when I was 19, and my Young Life leader was a big influence on my life. I believe wholeheartedly in the mission and the organization.”

Fry said Young Life is “fueled by volunteer leaders,” and leaders are needed for the Union County organization, especially collegeage leaders.

“We want to partner with you to make a positive impact on young people’s lives,” Fry said.

Folks can also help out by attending the Knoxville Young Life Banquet Tuesday, Oct. 4, at the Knoxville Convention Center. The event is free, and fundraising opportunities are available. Adults will meet in one room while students have music and activities in another room.

“I would love for Union County people and Union County kids to go to this event,” Fry said. “I’m excited to be here.”

Looking in on a community school

Christenberry is thriving

Talisha finds a home at L&N STEM

By Kip Oswald My cousin Talisha is Keshawn’s twin sister. I told you last week that Keshawn is smart, but we are sure Talisha is the genius of the family.

She has a l w a y s loved everything about school, but Talisha last year she was getting bored during her freshman year in high school. So when her friend, Kyla, who had been accepted into the L&N STEM Academy, told her about the different way the academy worked, Talisha decided to apply.

Kyla told Talisha that STEM is unlike any school experience she had ever had and students at L&N are incredibly accepting, positive and willing to become friends with new people every day. Kyla also said the integrated curriculum is delivered through project-based instruction that helps develop students’ abilities to make connections and work in teams.

The L&N STEM Academy is home to the L&N STEMPunks, a competition robotics team that was a real interest of Talisha. Each student also gets a MacBook Air for use on most of their assignments, and although the focus of the school is on science, regular high school classes are offered as well.

The L&N STEM Academy accepts applications for freshmen and a few for sophomores each year, so it was very unlikely that Talisha

By Betty Bean

would get in since she was applying as a sophomore.

However, as with Keshawn, luck was on her side, and Talisha was drawn in the lottery.

Also, as with CMA, transportation is provided, and since the L&N STEM Academy shares buses with other high schools, school starts at 9:30 a.m. and ends at 4:30 p.m.

The name of this high school comes from the fact it is located in a historic rail passenger train station that was built in 1905 by the Louisville & Nashville Railroad.

The station was renovated for use in the 1982 World’s Fair. Also in 1982, the building was added to the National Register of Historic Places for its architecture and role in Knoxville’s transportation history.

The L&N STEM Academy was founded in 2011 as a magnet high school focused on the disciplines of science, technology, engineering and math in the Knox County Schools system.

The school began with freshman and sophomore classes, expanding each year to have the first graduating class in 2013-14. The school draws students from all areas of the county.

There are many other schools in our district that also have historical names, so when I am not writing about our Oswald family’s school life, I will be introducing readers to some of that interesting history.

However, next week you will meet Charlie, my fourth-grade brother, and learn more about the world of Boy Scouts of America!

Working at Christenberry Elementary School is like coming home to Tiffany Davidson, site resource coordinator for the Great Schools Partnership’s Comm u n i t y Schools Initiative. She’s a proud graduate Davidson of Fulton High School, where she was a cheerleader. She has fond memories of her team winning a state football championship her senior year.

“I’m a Falcon,” she said, flashing a broad, infectious smile. “I graduated from Fulton in ’04, so this is my community and I’m really blessed to be back, just down the hill from where I spent my high school years.”

Christenberry is an ethnically diverse school in ethnically diverse Oakwood Lincoln Park and has 70 students for whom English is a second language as well as a large contingent of students who are eligible to receive free and reduced-price lunches. The faculty and staff are bullish about their school, proudly sporting “Straight out of the Berry”

T-shirts on special occasions. After-school activities kick off this week.

“Four years ago, we had two teachers helping – we had a dance club and a book club, and that was it. We still have them, but now we have 25 clubs, and I think our teachers are really grasping the concept of community schools,” Davidson said.

The after-school offerings at Christenberry are as diverse as the school population. There’s the Mad Scientist Club, the Book Club, the Jazz Appreciation Club, the Track Club, the Art Club – all supported by a 21st Century state grant.

Davidson defines community schools as an access point where parents can find services and resources for their children – a community hub.

Christenberry has a fulltime case manager from the Helen Ross McNabb Center to provide mental-health counseling. And thanks to a grant from the Elgin Foundation (secured by Knox County Schools Social Work supervisor Heather Willis), Christenberry students get dental screenings. Those who need treatment are bused to Edenfeld Dental Group in Fountain City.

Her smile faded when she

started talking about a little boy who’d smile and wave at her in the hallway, never hinting at the pain he was enduring. She said the partnership with Elgin has shed light on a health-care epidemic that affects schools daily.

“I don’t think I realized how strong these children are. Sitting in class all day with abscessed teeth?”

She teared up and reached for a Kleenex.

“This little boy’s smile never changed, and we just didn’t know. He never said anything.

He was one of those kids who desperately needed to go to the dentist, and when he did, they said, ‘How is this child even functioning?’

“Kids are dealing with it silently. The dental piece is another part of the community schools initiative, and without this partnership, we wouldn’t be able to recognize it and treat it,” she said. “I guess this is why I do my job.”

Christenberry is one of 14 community schools in Knox County. Twelve are run by the Great Schools Partnership, two by the University of Tennessee (Inskip and Pond Gap).

Twelve are elementary schools: Beaumont Magnet, Christenberry, Dogwood,

Green Magnet, Inskip, Lonsdale, New Hopewell, Norwood, Pond Gap, Sarah Moore Greene Magnet, South Knoxville and West View. Two are middle schools: Northwest and Vine Magnet. Great Schools Partnership coordinates with more than 150 partner organizations, neighborhoods and key leaders to improve community health and quality of life. Willis applies for and manages the grants that support the initiative, which served 6,322 students last year.

Christenberry’s community school will get cranked up this week, so Davidson doesn’t have the exact enrollment yet, but it has grown every year. Last year, 160 of Christenberry’s 621 students stayed after school from 2:45 to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. Kindergartners are not eligible since they don’t stay in school a full day.

Davidson said she’d welcome visitors, including elected officials and interested neighbors, to come visit.

“Come see what’s going on! I want people to come in and see what we are moving toward, in terms of the future of Knox County Schools.”

Special Olympics athletes to host rummage sale

By Ruth White Students at Halls Middle School will host a rummage sale to help with travel and other expenses for the group to participate in the Special Olympics this year.

The sale will be held in the parking lot of the school, 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 24, and will feature a wide variety of items.

The group has also been working together to fund the trip through the sale of snacks to the teaching staff at the school. They use a push cart to visit classrooms and work on skills such as buying and selling items, counting money, navigation and social skills.

Students at BrickeyMcCloud Elementary celebrated International Dot Day Sept. 15. Dot day was started by a group of educators in 2009 and is based on the book “The Dot� by Peter H. Reynolds.

The day’s activities are designed for classes to explore the story’s powerful themes: bravery, creativity, and self-expression.

The book tells the story of a caring teacher who reaches reluctant student Vashti in a remarkably creative way: by daring Vashti to “make her mark.� Vashti’s breakthrough begins with a simple dot on a piece of paper.

Encouraged by her teacher,

she sets off on a journey of self-discovery, letting her creativity bloom and ultimately inspiring others.

When Carmen Solomon of Seymour was diagnosed with diabetes in 2004, she worried that her life would change forever, and it did, but along the way she changed the lives of others.

Results of her volunteer work will be on display at 1 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 25, at UT Gardens when the local chapter of the American Diabetes Association sponsors Step Out: Walk Knoxville.

New this year are a health and wellness fair with free screenings for blood pressure and glucose levels, information on hypertension and even help with health insurance. Participants will start the walk at 2 p.m.

On display and for sale will be a special UT-themed quilt made by Solomon.

Last year’s quilt brought in $3,790 on $5 tickets, making Solomon the top individual fundraiser.

When Solomon was diagnosed with diabetes, she worked with Judy Lennon, a nutritionist with Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center. She lost 40 pounds in 18 months and was able to discontinue her diabetes medication.

“I did more than lose weight; I learned how to live with the disease,” she says.

“By adjusting what, when and how I ate, I was making better choices, and it became a lifestyle.

“I can still eat out at restaurants and go to parties, but now I plan in advance and make healthy decisions,” she says. It also changed the way she cooks at home, but she doesn’t have to forgo tasty meals.

Following guidelines from the American Diabetes Association, she prepares nu-

tritious meals that her husband likes, too.

Exercise is another tool in the battle against diabetes. “Build exercise into your daily routine, starting with just 15 minutes of walking, then work up to a goal of 30 minutes per day,” she advises. “Find something you like.” She started weight training and began to notice the benefits almost immediately.

Working out in a group provides motivation and support. She now exercises with Get Fit Seymour, a nonprofit group in her neighborhood. “There is a little bit of friendly peer pressure and a lot of fun, too,” she says.

Diabetes can be difficult to manage, and educating newly diagnosed patients is an important part of the process. Since 2010, Solomon has been assisting the American Diabetes Association by raising money for research and education, and she does it in a colorful way.

An avid quilter, Carmen has been making UTthemed quilts for the cause.

Each includes a square autographed by a UT football coach, starting with Phillip Fulmer. Butch Jones’ signature is featured this year.

The winning ticket will be drawn at the conclusion of Sunday’s walk.

It’s not too late to get involved. Info: faceb o o k . c o m /Q u i l t- f o r - a Cure-1267922206551700/.

As for Solomon, she will continue to work for the benefit of diabetes research and education.

“I want to make a difference in the lives of people who get the disease tomorrow, next week and next year,” she says.

Life House coffee shop sets the pace

By Sandra Clark

the Rotary guy Tom King tking535@gmail.com

Mark Webb’s ‘Rotary Moment’ happened at Beaumont Magnet

Chef Jennifer Bopp with Michael Cox and Jihan Cox at Life House coffee shop in Historic Downtown Powell. Photo by S. Clark love on people.�

Third, the facility houses Redemption Life, an independent church that has been meeting for three-plus years in the Coxes’ home.

With training as a pastor, Michael Cox worked for 13 years as a youth minister before he felt the call to plant a new church in Powell. “Our desire is to break down every barrier that stands between a person and their knowing the love of God,� he says. “We believe God loves them enough to meet them wherever they are.�

So, on Sundays, the coffee shop is closed and the musical equipment is used for worship. But don’t look

for pews. Members and guests will sit at tables in a relaxed atmosphere. The building is rated to seat 100. “We will have nights of worship led by different churches. We’ll be available for community meetings and for youth groups,� Michael said.

High School Happy Hour offers a hot pretzel or bag of chips plus a fountain drink for $2 from 3:30-4:30 p.m. weekdays. With restored brick walls and contemporary dĂŠcor, the place rivals anything in Bearden or the Old City.

Michael Cox explains: “We sought out a building that was in rough shape because we want to picture to the community how God

can restore or redeem. ‌ We totally transformed the inside (a former bar) to create a bright spot in Powell. “Anthony Bowers (Powell resident who owns the Little Caesar’s Pizza there) purchased the building and has been a wonderful partner.

He shares our vision.�

Both Michael and Jihan grew up in Powell and studied at Lee University.

They now have seven kids, ranging in age from 11 to three months. Jihan homeschools them and will teach music lessons three afternoons each week.

The store is at 7545 Brickyard Road. Info: Facebook or 865-859-9218

UT NOTES ■Elliott West, professor of history at the University of Arkansas, will present a free lecture titled “The West Before Lewis and Clark: Three Lives,� 5 p.m.

Monday, Oct. 3, in Room 103 Elliott West of the Howard H. Baker Jr. Center, 1640 Cumberland Ave.

Mark Webb works with people and numbers as a financial adviser, but his role with the Rotary Club of Knoxville is all about kids, books and reading. “I do have a passion for literacy and you can’t do this unless you do,� this Rotarian of six years says.

Mark coordinates approximately 50 members of the club who volunteer to read to students each Wednesday after school at Beaumont Magnet Academy, a Title I elementary school (grades K-5). The school has a high number Mark Webb of disadvantaged children and 75 percent of the students are economically disadvantaged.

Many of these students read below grade level. “If the kids can read it means they have a chance, a chance, to be successful in life. One of the greatest things you can do is read to them and focus on literacy,� Mark says.

He first began working with Beaumont when he was on the club’s Literacy Committee. Now he chairs the club’s first-ever Local Community Service Committee and Beaumont is its first project.

The club provided $10,000 this year to purchase approximately 700 new books for the library and establish literacy programs within the school for its 550 students.

The children in the after-school book club are grouped by grades: K-1, 2-3 and 4-5. A background check is done on each member. “We read books for an hour to grades K-3 but in grades 4-5 we read the books and also discuss them,�

Mark explains. “It’s discussion and interaction.�

Allen Pannell, RCK president, says: “Mark has played the primary role in creating, implementing and managing our new relationship with Beaumont Academy. His work has been tireless and I fear his recognition has been lacking. “I think Mark is indeed an unsung hero.�

Mark thinks back to what in Rotary is known as a “Rotary Moment� when something happens that explains why a Rotarian is a Rotarian. Mark found his moment at Beaumont. “One kid was always sitting in the back and not listening or reading and we were reading ‘Marley and Me.’ But he came back for the last session to a pizza party. He decided to read the book and says it was the first book he had ever read.�

That’s when Mark’s Rotary Moment happened. “This young boy looked at me and asked me if I knew of some other books I could recommend to him. That made a big impact on me. We changed him. He’s a reader now.�

Every downtown needs one. Every historic railroad town had one. That’s a coffee shop, a place where neighbors can sit and talk.

Last Saturday, Life House officially opened on the corner of Brickyard and Emory roads in the heart of Historic Powell Station.

It’s a three-in-one venue, says Michael Cox. First, there’s Life House Coffee Shop, managed by Jennifer Bopp, a chef most recently at Bistro by the Tracks. She also owns BitterSweet bakery and will provide fresh-baked pastries to the shop. Cox says the coffee beans are imported and purchased from missionaries who sell indigenous products to help fund their ministry. “We’ve got more than a coffee pot,� he says. Open from 6:30 a.m. to 9 p.m., the shop offers eat-in or carryout with salads, soups and sandwiches.

Second, there’s a music studio and venue for private lessons. The Redemption School of Worship is led

by Jihan Cox (pronounced with a soft Z like Zsa Zsa Gabor). “She’s an incredible worship leader,â€? says husband Michael. “She’s good at getting everyone involved. ‌ We’ve released two solo project albums.â€?

Jihan says the school trains in music while “giving identity in Christ.� She sees the coffee shop and music school as ways “to

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

Law & Aorta

FSRMC surgeons mend ex-NYPD detective’s tell-tale heart Lt. Joe Kenda, TV’s Homicide Hunter, is showing in the living room of John and Barbara Mohl’s Sevierville condominium, but neither is watching.

That’s because Mohl, a retired detective with the New York Police Department, has plenty of true crime stories of his own.

Whether working the notorious “Son of Sam” case or shootouts with Black Panthers, his were the kind of high-profile cases that might evoke a signature, “My, my, my” from Kenda himself.

But right now, John is talking about his latest case, a crime of the heart. He was 80 when clogged arteries choked off his heart in August 2015, sending him to the ER at LeConte Medical Center. From there, he was sent to Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center for a triple bypass and valve repair.

That, however, wasn’t the worst of it.

Tests prior to his bypass surgery revealed a deadly secret – he also had an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), a balloon-like dilation of the largest blood vessel that leads from the heart, down through the abdomen to the rest of the body. It was almost three times its normal “garden hose” size. The great majority can be treated with a stent; however, Mohl’s aneurysm involved the kidney arteries and plaque related blockages of his iliac and femoral arteries, requiring open repair.

Should it rupture, the odds were 90 percent he wouldn’t make it. Even without a rupture, repairing it would not be easy on him or his surgeon. Mohl would have to wait more than six months to heal from his open-heart surgery before his body could withstand the rigors of an open AAA, one of medicine’s more challenging and complicated surgeries.

Vascular surgeons Dr. Richard Young, assisted by partner Dr. Michael Kropilak, met that challenge on March 24, 2016, in an operation at FSRMC. “We always doublescrub on open AAA surgeries to increase the speed and quality of the repair,” said Dr. Young. “Every case is different, but an open Richard AAA is a major operation Young, M.D. for any patient.”

Ex NYC detective, John Mohl and his wife, Barbara, are back to their quiet life after John’s vascular surgery at Fort Sanders Regional.

Through a large incision on Mohl’s abdomen Dr. Young clamped the aorta above and below the aneurysm to stop the blood flow. Then, he replaced the diseased vessels with a polyester graft. After it was attached, they removed the clamps to restore blood flow and closed the incision.

Two weeks later, on April 7, a happyto-be-alive Mohl was discharged from

FSRMC. “There are not enough accolades for these two doctors,” he said. “They did a marvelous job. If it weren’t for them, we wouldn’t be sitting here. They may say things that you think are blunt but they’re just telling you how it is, and that’s how it should be. In the medical profession, you can’t go sugar coating things.”

Straight talk. It’s a quality Mohl learned

Hidden killer: AAA often goes undetected, untreated Think you would know an abdominal aortic aneurysm if you had one? Think again.

More than half – 62 percent – of AAAs are discovered incidentally, meaning they are found while doctors are searching for something else. For John Mohl, that “something else” came while doctors were looking at a CT scan for a possible pulmonary embolus.

Dr. Richard Young, a vascular surgeon at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center, says the location of AAAs is what makes them so difficult to detect. “They lie along the front of the backbone in the back of the abdomen,” said Dr. Young. He added that while most aneurysms affect the segment of the abdominal aorta below the kidneys, Mohl’s AAA extended up to the kidney renal arteries.

What’s more, Dr. Young said, “Almost all are asymp-

tomatic (show no symptoms) until they rupture, leak or begin growing very quickly.”

In fact, 75 percent of AAA patients show no symptoms at all. Of the 25 percent who do, the most common is pain in the abdomen, chest, lower back or groin area. The pain may be severe or dull. The occurrence of pain is often associated with the imminent rupture of the aneurysm.

Acute, sudden onset of severe pain in the back and/ or abdomen may represent rupture and is a life-threatening medical emergency. Sometimes, a pulsing sensation, similar to a heartbeat, in the abdomen may be a symptom.

More times than not, however, AAAs are diagnosed with CT scans, MRIs, ultrasounds or arteriograms while searching for a different problem.

to appreciate on the tough streets of the Bronx. He joined the NYPD on patrol in June 1956, 11 months before his marriage to Barbara. “He was 21, looked like he was 12 and they put him in Harlem!” she exclaimed. “They’d throw garbage cans at him from the roof.”

In the ensuing years, Mohl worked undercover narcotics, burglary, major crimes and homicides out of the 14th Precinct in the Brooklyn neighborhoods where survival required street smarts.

“I was always too smart to get hurt. Seriously,” said Mohl whose undercover colleagues included Eddie Egan who inspired The French Connection movie. “You have to be on the alert. It’s not a game out there.

These people play for keeps. You just have to be a little smarter.”

He found the Major Crimes Investigative Unit and worked to round up criminals claiming responsibility for bank robberies, bombings and the murder of six cops in a nine-month period in the early 1970s. One time when Mohl’s car was riddled by gunshots during a shootout, Barbara asked, “What happened to the car?! It’s full of bullet holes!”

Mohl’s response? “I had a little incident last night.”

These days, Mohl lives the quiet life of a “house husband” and fills his days with Barbara vacuuming, washing dishes, going shopping and watching Joe Kenda on TV. He occasionally helps out at the Rainforest Adventures Discovery Zoo, owned by his daughter and son-in-law.

He would like to see his 90th birthday and thanks to Drs. Young and Kropilak and FSRMC, he might just do that.

“When you come from a big city like New York, you have a sense of superiority, that everything is better there,” said Mohl, who still speaks in his native Brooklynese. “They may think Michael Kropilak, M.D. ‘All the best hospitals are in New York.’ No, they’re not!

They should try Fort Sanders someday.”

For more information about vascular surgery at Fort Sanders Regional, call 865-673-FORT or visit fsregional.com.

Are you at risk for an abdominal aortic aneurysm?

What causes an abdominal aortic aneurysm to form?

The exact cause isn’t fully known. Most people, like retired detective John Mohl, who quit smoking 10 to 12 years ago, attribute it to smoking.

While it is true that smoking weakens the arterial wall, vascular surgeon Dr. Richard Young says smoking is only part of the problem.

“Smoking in itself doesn’t cause AAA,” said Dr. Young.

“Risk factors are anything that can weaken the arterial wall, such as hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol and smoking. A family history of aortic abdominal aneurysm also increases your risk. Fifteen to 25 percent of patients undergoing AAA repair have a first degree relative with an AAA.” That also includes age (older than 60), gender (males are four to five times at greater risk than females), genetic factors and obesity.
