Bounds in the big chair Twenty-four hours after her colleagues voted to hand her the gavel, Patti Bounds still sounded surprised to find herself chairing the school board – and somewhat shellshocked that the first vote she presided over was so difficult. Bounds was chosen by acclamation.

Giving back to Bobcats When you hear the names Bud Bales and Tommy Schumpert, a couple of things probably come to mind: two great coaches and many great baseball teams. Bales, a 1956 graduate of South Young High, was a coach at Central for close to 30 years. Schumpert, a 1956 Central grad, was there for 17 years. Through baseball, they taught young men not only how to play the game, but also the importance of being good leaders and members of the community.

The King family knows what’s important “A friend painted the sign for us,� says Angela. Hanna Herrell and her mom Angela King flank little ones Jalyn and Weston King next to the barn.

By Carol Z. Shane The first thing you notice about Angela King’s children is how selfpossessed and personable they are. They seem comfortable and confident in their skin, not standoffish or reluctant to speak to people of all different ages. Each one has hobbies and interests. And each one already possesses a great knowledge of the natural world. “That’s spinach,� says sevenyear-old Weston, pointing to a plant growing in a pot on the back deck. “And this is lettuce.� Jalyn, 6, chimes in, “These are carrots. I

planted them.� On the railing, on the bench, the deck surface and down the steps, there are pots full of vegetables, most planted and tended by the kids. It all started about eight years ago. Angela, who grew up in Halls, had been working for the DIY and HGTV networks as a writer but was laid off in a restructuring. She began to imagine following her dreams of a life on the land. Around the same time, she reconnected with a childhood friend she’d met at camp – Jason King, originally from Joplin, Mo.

When the couple got serious, he moved to Knoxville. The two set their eyes on a piece of property in Corryton. After buying the land, things seemed to move right along. “A friend gave me three chickens,� says Angela. “From there, I figured out how to incubate and hatch them. I was addicted!�

What better place for a seven-year-old boy to be than in a tree? Weston King sure likes it!

Halls ‘backs the blue’ to support local deputies By Sandra Clark

After Maryville police officer Kenny Moats was killed in August while responding to a domestic-violence call, the community rallied to the support of his family. Moats, 32, was a nine-year veteran officer who left behind three small children. Halls Business & Professional Association members brainstormed ways to thank the Knox County Sheriff’s deputies who patrol the neighborhoods and businesses to keep us safe. But the officers work in shifts. There’s no way to get all of them to a meeting.

The association has declared October to be “Halls backs the blue� month. And it invited all the deputies who can make it to attend the noon meeting Tuesday, Oct. 18, at Beaver Brook Country Club. Lunch is free to officers, who will be invited to sit at tables with members to discuss their work during the meal. The Halls BPA will gift $1,000 to the Sheriff’s Office’s Emergency Fund, which assists deputies in times of need. In addition, the group will provide $600 in gift cards (12 at $50 each) to sponsor the county’s officer of the month program.

HBPA members, former members and future members are invited as well. This promises to be a special day. One guest will be an officer who recently returned to work. He was severely injured Oct. 18, 2015, on I-75 at Emory Road. Rural/Metro will present the program, and the business spotlight will shine on Robert G. Campbell & Associates, a Halls-based engineering firm. Co-presidents Michelle Wilson and Carl Tindell have announced the year’s schedule. To page A-3

Habitat salutes ‘the original hopebuilder’ By Sandra Clark Bob and Helen Temple were honored Oct. 7 as some 200 people gathered for Knoxville Habitat for Humanity’s HopeBuilders Breakfast, held at Central Baptist Bearden. Attendees were guests of Habitat supporters and volunteers. The event raised $90,000, which, when matched with volunteer labor, will build two Houses of Hope through Habitat. Bob Temple was an early and prolific homebuilder in Halls, building in Murphy Hills and Woodvale subdivisions before developing Temple Acres just north of the business district. Bob was a

founder of the North Side YMCA, which bears his name. He sang in the choir at the Methodist church and played tennis until a stroke slowed him physically. He remains an active community member, calling Shopper News recently to comment on the city’s rehab efforts at Fountain City Lake. Helen has kept the pace. The two met at Central High School, married and raised a son and two daughters: Rob Temple Jr., Ginger Baxter and Linda Wise.

and co-chaired (with husband Bill) the committee for 100 Homes of Hope meeting their goal for 100 new homes to be built in three years. She often works on houses, too, saying she loves the smell of fresh-cut lumber. Friday’s event was presented by Holston Gases, and guest speakers included company owners Bill and Ginger Baxter. “The Habitat mission parallels Dad’s own passion – of building affordable houses that families turned into homes – and Bob continued to build homes with Habitat for more than 20 years,� she said.

News from Tennova Health & Fitness

Top 4 reasons to continue swim lessons at any age: 1. Swim lessons reduce the risk of drowning. You read the CDC stats, right? This is serious. As children get older, their parents aren’t always going to be with them when they’re in the water. Swimming is an essential life skill, and individuals of every age need to be conďŹ dent that they have mastered it.

2. Swimming builds whole body strength. A swimming workout is a great total body workout, strengthening everything from the core to the legs to the arms. Most of the body’s muscles work together as you push, pull and kick your way through the water. And it’s better for your joints than other land-based cardiovascular exercises. It can make you stronger, leaner and more exible too!

3. Swimming is great for your mind. Studies have found that children who swam during their younger years achieved several physical and mental milestones faster than their nonswimming counterparts. The instruction and sensory learning kids gain from swim lessons translates almost seamlessly to the classroom. For adults, it is a great way to clear your mind, and the crossbody movement employs both hemispheres of the brain, helping the nervous system and spinal muscles work better together.

4. Swimming is something that benefits people of every age! Swimming is for everyone – young, old and in-between. This activity is something that lasts a lifetime, and you can always improve. Expose children to swimming and they will have a recreational, aerobic activity that they can enjoy their whole lifetime!

Swimming season doesn’t

have to end

By Carol Z. Shane It’s easy on your joints. It’s comprehensive exercise, working all the muscle groups. It’s great for your mind. Why on earth would you want to give up swimming just because fall’s in the air? Fortunately, you don’t have to. At Tennova Health & Fitness Center, you’ll ďŹ nd an array of swimming activities for all ages, from individual and buddy lessons to group lessons, from parent-tot/beginner all the way through competition level. As always, the Tennova staff will meet you wherever you are in your ďŹ tness journey. Nicole Yarbrough, Tennova’s executive ďŹ tness manager, says according to the The Centers for Disease Control, every day, about 10 people die from unintentional drowning. Of these, two are children age 14 or younger. Drowning ranks ďŹ fth among the leading causes of unintentional injury death in the United States. “Enrollment in swim lessons in the best thing to prevent drowning. Children enrolled in formal swim lessons have an 85 percent lower risk of drowning. Yet over 37 percent of adult Americans cannot swim, according to the CDC.â€? Yarbrough takes these statistics very seriously. “Learning to swim means more than just be-

ing able to doggy paddle across the pool and oat around on your back a few seconds.â€? Wendy Metz, coordinator of Tennova’s swim program, agrees. “We are dedicated to teaching adults and children how to swim. We provide swim lessons for children as young as six months of age. Our children’s

Group swim lesson levels

group swim lessons on Saturday mornings are led monthly by trained instructors, with small class sizes, in our beautiful indoor pools. These lessons enable you to take four consecutive 30-minute sessions monthly,â€? says Metz. Tennova makes it easy for your family to ďŹ nd time in your

busy schedule. “Tennova also offers private lessons for any age for members and nonmembers of our facility. Individual, buddy and private group lessons can be set up at your convenience throughout the week. If you have multiple children who are interested, we are happy to accommodate the needs of your groups.� Why not investigate the many possibilities Tennova Health & Fitness Center offers for swimming instruction and practice?

Schedule of Saturday group sessions 9-9:30 a.m. 9:35-10:05 a.m. 10:10-10:40 a.m. 10:45-11:15 a.m. 11:20-11:50 a.m. 11:55 a.m.-12:25 p.m.

When ‘thanks’ is a two-way street Wallace Hills subdivision holds National Night Out They held a barbecue in Wallace Hills subdivision off Hill Road in Halls last week to say thanks to “the men and women in blue,� as neighborhood resident and event organizer Joan Brantley put it. Actually, that “saying thanks� part is a two-way street in this case. “It’s our way to show support to our active neighborhood watch groups,� said Knox County Sheriff’s Office education coordinator Katy Davis, who, by coincidence, is a Halls resident and former teacher at Halls Elementary. “We do this once a year,

desserts and other goodies. Rural/Metro brought a fire truck, and one of the Knox County Sheriff’s officers rode up in a motorcycle. Both got the attention of subdivision residents Addie Kate Hundley, 5, and Micah Edmisten, 6. They gladly jumped into the photograph with the first responders. Somebody baked a cake that read “With Great Appreciation� to the sheriff’s office. “They make it special for us,� Davis said. “They even feed us, too!� If you and your neighbors would like to start a neighborhood watch, call Davis at 215-5632, email katy. davis@knoxsheriff.org or download a Neighborhood From page A-1 Watch packet at www.knox sheriff.org/departments/ special_services.

‘the original hopebuilder’

Jason and Angela were married on their land. Weston and then Jalyn came along, and with Angela’s daughter Hanna Herrell, the family began to make a life on their little farm. And it’s not all just about plants and animals. Angela makes soap out of lye and pure organic coconut oil. The three female members of the family have suffered from keratosis pilaris, which causes small hard bumps to appear on the skin. Since they started using the homemade soap, the problems have disappeared. Jason, who works at TAMKO Building Products, is one of those guys who can build anything. He’s devised an automatic door for the chicken/duck coop which closes at dusk and opens at dawn. He’s also built a portable chicken coop out of wire fencing and rebar, and a greenhouse. “We like to start plants early,� says Angela. Hanna is a talented photographer, having just won

From page A-1 third place in a Tennessee Valley Fair photo contest. She also loves music and is a big fan of For King and Country and Twenty One Pilots. Jalyn loves her bicycle, and Weston knows a great deal about different types of fish. He and his dad enjoy frequent fishing trips together. And they’re not only learning about farming, but about money, too. “They’re so proud of themselves when they bring in tomatoes or eggs to sell,� says Angela. “They pay the bunny bank or the chicken bank to buy feed. They save, they give and they spend. They all have little envelopes. “We just wanted to teach our kids how food grows and how to take care of animals. A lot more people are doing this, and you can do it on an acre or so of land,� says Angela. “You don’t have to lose your kids to TV or video games.� Send story suggestions to news@shoppernewsnow.com

Courage beyond comprehension What we know: Tennessee is not a team of destiny. The seventh turnover was proof positive. It does have true grit. Alas, it does not bother with many details. Reserves, forced into action, often do exciting things but tend to clarify the difference in starters and subs. Butch Jones’ “next man up” concept is worthy of praise. The Volunteers have courage beyond comprehension. During their College Station visit, they endured enough injuries, penalties, hardships and blunders to make an ordinary team run up the white flag. Tennessee is no ordinary team. It was better than Texas A&M. It was much

Marvin West

better in the fourth quarter, as in three touchdowns in eight minutes. Players again defied comeback odds as if they just don’t understand “impossible.” There was no better example of refusing to surrender than Malik Foreman’s fierce pursuit of a breakaway runner. After 71 yards, Malik caught him and prevented a touchdown – one step from the goal. Cheers. Mistakes frustrate the coach but he really likes this

team. Butch gets to use two of his favorite words -- resolve and resiliency – in describing it. Three Vols who considered leaving early for the NFL wish they had. Not so much Alvin Kamara.

What we don’t know: Half a season is finished at 5-1. One dream is gone. The SEC championship game remains within reach. There are two immediate questions: Are there enough able bodies to get there from here and how will the Vols react to losing? Ending Alabama domination would be a terrific answer but the Tide appears to be a better team. It is No. 1 for several reasons. It has superior talent at some po-

sitions, generally dependable execution and a much smaller crowd in the care of doctors and trainers. We don’t really know how wide is the coaching gap.

Points to ponder: It was frightening to see old warrior Danny O’Brien departing on a backboard and rescue wagon. He has staying power, going back to coaches Justin Wilcox and Peter Sirmon. He lives, he lives. Will fans out of touch with reality now accept the fact that the Vols are very good but not great? They have the heart of a lion but they keep shooting themselves in the foot. Make that feet. There is no easy explana-

tion for fumbles and missed tackles. Does this go back to Jones’ careful practices with minimum hitting in hopes of avoiding injuries? Is this a frustrating case of damned if you do and damned if you don’t? Corners and safeties still have trouble defending deep passes. Tennessee has two secondary coaches. Can you believe experienced linemen were flagged five times for false starts against the Aggies? So, the Texas crowd was loud and passionate and helped decide the game. How loud will it be at Neyland Stadium on Saturday? Will Alabama care? Do you suppose the very smart and often brilliant Joshua Dobbs is a mere

mortal? He had a good and bad day. He threw for 398 yards, gained 57 as a runner and caught a touchdown pass. He lost two fumbles, didn’t dive on a muffed handoff and misread a route that cost the game-ending interception. Please do not charge him with the earlier interception. That was not the quarterback’s fault. The day in Aggieland was dumbfounding. Old friend John Chavis, thought to be one of America’s best defensive coordinators, wrung his hands as Tennessee accumulated 684 yards of total offense. Chief finally smiled. Winning is first prize. Marvin West invites reader reaction. His address is westwest6@netzero.com.

Bud Armstrong: First priority is taxpayers Lawyer jokes aside, one of Bud Armstrong’s priorities as Knox County law director is saving taxpayers money. He described changes that have resulted in savings at last week’s Armstrong Council of West Knox County Homeowners meeting. Worker’s comp cases have been brought inhouse, saving the county $200,000. The number of cases has dropped dramatically, and the county is now actuarially sound, he said. The law director’s office no longer hires outside counsel “on a whim.” Previously, the office has spent up to $1.1 million on attorneys’ fees, but last year, it

Wendy Smith

was $43,000. Some circumstances, such as a conflict between two commissioners, require outside counsel. Taking on the tax attorney’s job allows the county to proceed with title searches, which means the condemnation of taxdelinquent property can move forward. The change brought in an additional $200,000 this year. Lawsuits against former Knox County Trustee Mike Lowe and his “ghost” staffers have already netted some money, and the county’s “not done with” the criminals yet, Armstrong

said. A motion, based on fraud or false claims, could potentially result in a $1 million to $19 million judgment. He hasn’t given up on finding the money Lowe claims to have gambled away, either. Very few understand what the law director’s office does, he said. Much of the work revolves around interpretation of the county charter and writing ordinances and resolutions. The work is much the same as that of the state attorney general, except that the county law director deals with civil, rather than criminal cases. Power is given to the office by the people, through the charter, and the charter mandates that the law director handle all legal affairs of Knox County government and play an advisory role for

elected officials and Knox County Commission, which is regarded separately as the board of directors for the county. Comparing the county to a corporation, its first priority is to protect the stockholders, or taxpayers. The second priority is advising elected officials. “I think the county is getting better at taking care of the stockholders. The climate is getting better.” Another important task is reviewing contracts − over 700 each year, he says. “If you cover all your bases in your agreements, life is better.” Armstrong took issue with a recent news story that made it seem that the county is footing the bill for an $800,000 judgment in favor of a former MPC employee. Knox County was named in the suit, but it isn’t

the paying party, he said. He’s also not sure that Knox County will be writing a $140,000 check for a recent decision regarding the untreated injury of a county detention facility inmate. The case has been appealed. The county is monitoring 479 claims that could

become litigation and is currently involved in 305 actual lawsuits. The good news, he said, is that the deputy law directors and their support staff are top-notch. “I’d put your firm up against any law firm − and do.”

Burlington cell tower on MPC agenda MPC has a 12-page agenda for its 1:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 13, meeting. That’s good news. It means development is picking up. But in East Knoxville, neighborhood folks will probably be out in force to protest a 125-foot cell tower proposed by Verizon to be built on an empty lot at 4105 Holston Drive. The land is already zoned commercial. The tower was discussed Sept. 12 at Town Hall East with some 60 in attendance.

Residents asked Verizon to seek alternative sites. The company looked at the steeple of the Greater Warner Tabernacle Church (only 70 feet high) and a field at the north end of Kirkwood Street (too far west). So Verizon has agreed to build a 9-foot brick wall around the base of the tower with a sign reading, “Welcome to Historic Burlington.” Will this be enough? Stay tuned. – S. Clark

Celebrating Edna Smith’s 100th birthday

What more could Edna Smith, Raccoon Valley Road resident, want for her 100th birthday than to have a room filled with friends and elected officials singing “Happy Birthday” to her on her special day? Smith listened as proclamations were read by state Rep. Bill Dunn and Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett. And then there was cake! Edna Smith and Mayor Tim Burchett pose for one of his famous selfies during her 100th birthday celebration. Photos by Ruth White

Pictured singing to Edna are state Rep. Roger Kane, Knox County Commissioner Ed Brantley, state Rep. Bill Dunn, Register of Deeds Sherry Witt, Smith, Law Director Bud Armstrong, County Commissioners Charles Busler and Michele Carringer and Carringer’s granddaughter, Emma Grace Lewallen.

Bounds in the big chair Twenty-four hours after her colleagues voted to hand her the gavel, Patti Bounds still sounded surprised to find herself chairing the school board – and somewhat shellshocked that the first vote she presided over was so difficult. Bounds was chosen by acclamation. “I had no idea, going in, what would transpire, or who would end up as chair,” she said. The next vote was for the board’s vice chair: “The most gutw r enc h i ng and agonizing vote I Patti Bounds have made. It was very hard because I respect Terry (Hill), Tony (Norman) and Amber (Rountree), all, and felt that any of the three could have done an excellent job.” (Rountree got Bounds’ vote and was elected.) A longtime kindergarten teacher at Brickey-McCloud School, Bounds retired from the job she loved to run for office in 2014. A couple of seasoned politicians stepped aside and she was elected unopposed. She joined a four-member minority that frequently opposed the policies and practices of former superintendent James McIntyre and was almost always thwarted by the five-member pro-McIntyre majority. With the departure of Karen Carson, Doug Harris and Tracie Sanger this year, and the addition of new members Jennifer Owen, Tony Norman and Susan Horn, the atmosphere has changed, and Bounds now leads a coalition that could include as many as seven members. School board chair is not a ceremonial position. The chair and the superintendent are a two-member executive committee that

Betty Bean sets the monthly meeting agenda and has exercised considerable clout in other areas. Two years ago, thenchair Lynne Fugate, after stepping out of the room to consult with McIntyre, made the unusual move of denying board member Mike McMillan’s request for “personal privilege” to delay a vote on the system’s strategic plan – new members were to be seated the following month. Fugate’s successor, Doug Harris, started taking unilateral actions even before he became chair. He initiated talks with Mayor Tim Burchett that resulted in a Memorandum of Understanding to build two middle schools, increase teachers’ wages and delay

new capital projects for two years. Early this year, when McIntyre assessed his chances with the new school board, he decided to resign rather than face a less-thanfriendly governing body. Harris presented his colleagues with a timetable and a severance package. Bounds has had very little time to adjust to her new position. On Wednesday, she was faced with a request for personal privilege from board member Gloria Deathridge, which quashed debate on the evening’s most controversial item – a Rountree-sponsored resolution not to use the results of end-of-term tests (formerly known as TCAPs) to calculate student grades or teacher evaluations. Interim superintendent Buzz Thomas had sent a scathing email and urged the board to oppose the resolution, which goes to the heart of the so-called “teachers’ revolt” that be-

gan three years ago. Deathridge’s move delays consideration of the Rountree resolution until Oct. 31, the day Rountree, who is almost nine months pregnant, is due to deliver. Meanwhile, Patti Bounds continues to volunteer in each of her district schools in the Halls-Powell area. She gave herself a crash course in Robert’s Rules of Order when she was elected and may revisit the subject soon. The day before she was elected chair, she got an outstanding advocate award from UT’s Department of Theory and Practice in Teacher Education. She takes a modest approach to her new position. “I had a less than stellar beginning to conducting my first meeting, but I did get a lot of encouragement. Lynne Fugate was very kind and Buzz reminded me of his first time sitting as chair of Maryville school board. He told me it will get easier. A lot happened very quickly.”

Central facelift will be worth the pain By Betty Bean The city will present details of a $5 million, yearlong plan to upgrade North Central Street at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 13, at Central United Methodist Church, 201 E. Third Ave. The infrastructure upgrade and street improvement project will stretch from the north end of the Old City to the Woodland Avenue intersection of North Central. Anne Wallace, the city’s deputy director for redevelopment, said the meeting has a dual purpose – to report on city projects for Central and Jackson Avenues and to let the public know about KUB infrastructure work that will begin soon. KUB is replacing more than 8,800 feet of water main

and 26 fire hydrants along 12 city blocks. “The city projects will fall into line behind that,” Wallace said. City crews will begin installing sidewalk improvements, improved bike lanes, new curbs, betterdefined on-street parking, landscaping and resurfacing. The crown jewel of the streetscape project will be a linear park near Baxter Avenue that will serve as gateway to Happy Holler. Funded jointly by the city, the state Department of Transportation and the Federal Highway Administration, the project should be finished in 2017. Peg Hambright’s Magpies Bakery is on the path where the work will take place. She has some trepidation, but

overall is excited. “Obviously it’s going to be a pain for a period of time, but a facelift is needed over here. ... I’m most enthusiastic about the linear park. That intersection (Baxter and North Central) needs that. It has a lane that’s not a lane, is super wide and not pedestrian friendly. They’re going to take that whole lane and make it part of that park. If you stand on the top of that hill, it’s one of the most beautiful views in the city. After the improvements, more people can use it.” Traffic on the north end of town will be further snarled when the state shuts down the Broadway viaduct to rebuild it. This project will take more than two years to complete.

government Megan Barry’s ‘strategy for Democrats’ Nashville’s Democratic Mayor Megan Barry continues to garner national attention in her first year as mayor. The Economist magazine had an extensive article last month suggesting her approach may be “a strategy for Democrats elsewhere.” Megan Barry While she is more liberal than many Tennesseans, she has struck a chord among Davidson County residents and she may be heard from statewide in the next several years. However, several conservative groups have her in their sights. Meanwhile, Mayor Rogero is trying to halt reports she may leave the mayor’s office before her term ends to take a position in a potential Clinton administration. Respected News Sentinel Washington correspondent Michael Collins last week reported her name is being widely mentioned for the Clinton administration. At the Dinner on the (Gay Street) Bridge celebrating Knoxville’s 225th birthday, Rogero went out of her way to say, “I have no intention of leaving this job early.” It seemed an unusual setting to raise the issue, and for a casual observer this might seem a denial. But it actually falls short of a direct denial. A careful reading shows Rogero did not rule out leaving if asked by the president to come to Washington. A real convincing denial would be, “I will not accept any position in the next federal administration if offered during my term as mayor.” While continuing as mayor may be her intention this week, this statement does not answer the reasonable possibility that our first female president may ask Knoxville’s first female mayor to be part of her team in Washington, and what would Rogero say then? My money is on her accepting the request by a President Clinton to serve and saying she had to say yes to a presidential request to serve despite her preference to continue as mayor. It would be an honor for her and to our city. How could she say no? She has always been one who believes in answering the call to serve. There are still

Victor Ashe

reports that her resume is already being circulated in the Clinton transition office by friends. It is also true that these reports (which have gained traction) are alarming to over 40 city employees who do not have civil service protection and could quickly be replaced by a new mayor. Rogero wants to calm their anxiety over early unemployment. ■ The Knoxville Museum of Art will honor Sylvia and Jan Peters with the 2016 James L. Clayton Award on Oct. 27. They are the first African-Americans to receive this prestigious award, and it is well deserved for their many activities across Knoxville but especially for “uncommon generous and sustained” support of the museum. ■ Paul James has retired as executive director of Ijams Nature Center after 16 years. He leaves a strong legacy of dedication and progress for an important part of environmental education in Knoxville. He took the center to new level of activity, for which many are grateful. ■ The Richmond Times-Dispatch, a major newspaper in Virginia, has endorsed the Libertarian candidate for president, former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson. Virginia is a swing state, unlike Tennessee. This happened even with Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine on the ticket with Hillary Clinton. The Union Leader in Manchester, N.H., has also endorsed Johnson. While Johnson’s chances of winning are remote at best, it is unclear whether he takes more votes from Clinton or Trump and whether that will push Virginia more toward Trump or Clinton. What it does mean is that opinion makers are taking Johnson more seriously and there is unease toward both Trump and Clinton among many voters. Johnson has stumbled recently with his failure to name a single world leader he respects. However, he could still impact the election result depending on whom he takes the most votes from in which states.

Giving back to the Bobcats By Ruth White When you hear the names Bud Bales and Tommy Schumpert, a couple of things probably come to mind: two great coaches and many great baseball teams. Bales, a 1956 graduate of South Young High, was a coach at Central for close to 30 years. Schumpert, a 1956 Central grad, was there for 17 years. Through baseball, they taught young men not only how to play the game, but also the importance of being good leaders and members of the community. Back when Bales coached at CHS, the team would take batting practice under the stadium in rotating stations. If it was cold outside, they bundled up. They made the available space work for them. When the team no longer had a place to practice, alum Andy Bolton (and member of the 1990 state championship team) got the ball rolling on a new facility to be located

Dental Answers Dr. Steven C. Crippen Question: “Can cavities seen as small black spots on teeth be significantly larger than they appear to be on the top of the enamel?” Answer: Yes. Decayed areas on the surface enamel of the teeth often have penetrated into the tooth to a deeper and larger extent than it appears to the eye. Enamel is the first and “harder” layer of the tooth structure, and it is more resistant to decay than the “softer” second layer of tooth structure, which is called “dentin”. Frequently the decay process creates a small entrance hole into the enamel, and

KN-1302264

once into the “softer” dentin layer below, a bigger, cave-like cavity develops. Also, some cavities do not cause any pain or sensitivity until the decayed area has expanded near to or into the nerve of the tooth. If you have any visible cavities or dark spots on your teeth, you should contact a dental office for an examination as soon as possible.

Questions for “Dental Answers” are welcomed and should be sent to our address at 7409 Temple Acres Drive Knoxville, TN 37938

The Tower of Babel Then they said, Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower with its top in the heavens ‌ And the Lord said ‌ “Come, let us go down, and confuse their language there, so that they will not understand one another’s speech ‌ Therefore it was called Babel, because there the Lord confused the language of all the earth. ‌ (Genesis 11:4a, 6, 7, 9 NRSV)

Temple Baptist celebrates 50 years serving Powell

The word Genesis means beginning, which is why the first book of the Bible was called Genesis: It recounted the stories of how things came to be. For example, Adam and Eve disobeyed the Lord’s instructions, ate the forbidden fruit, were thrown out of Eden and had to work for a living (Genesis 3:19). Noah “found favor in the eyes of the Lord� (Genesis 6:8), and his family and pairs of the animals were spared so that life would continue. Then humans got “too big for their britches,� as my grandmother would say, and decided to build a tower “with its top in the heavens� (Genesis 11:4). They started their tower, but God had other plans. God decided humans should remember Who was in charge, and be taken down a notch or two. God confounded their speech, and even trained architects will have a hard time building a tower to heaven when they can’t communicate! I am an inveterate puzzler: I always have a puzzle in progress. Years ago there was a puzzle advertised that was a depiction of the Tower of Babel. It looked challenging, and I was sorely tempted – until I read the dimensions. It was six feet long! I don’t have a table that I am willing to cover with puzzle pieces for the duration. So, unlike the people of Babel, I thought it over and didn’t start!

By Stacy Levy In 1966, Powell was just a small community, but Easter Sunday that year, a few met at Powell High School in hopes of starting a new church with the Rev. Al Cox as pastor. The group had a vision that the potential for this small town and this new church could be big one day. And in May 1967, 54 charter members erected the first Temple Baptist Church. But starting a new church wasn’t enough. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, there were not many Christian schools in the Knoxville area. So even though the church was just in its infancy, the elders felt a responsibility to assist parents in providing a Christian education for their children. In 1971, Temple Christian School, later renamed Temple Baptist Academy, opened with 91 students enrolled from kindergarten through sixth grade. Only 20 years later, it seemed fitting to start a college, and The Crown College was organized and admitted its first freshman class. And in 1999, Crown Christian Publications was founded. It was started as an avenue to distribute Christ-honoring materials including books, sermons and music. “Our heartfelt prayer is for people to know the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal Savior and become actively involved in a Biblebelieving, Bible-preaching church that cares for them,� says pastor Clarence Sexton. Well, God seems to have blessed Temple Baptist with the tools to do just that. In the year 2000, construction was completed on Temple Baptist’s new auditorium, and in 2004 the new 30acre Crown College campus was opened. In 2016, Crown Radio was launched.

Austin-East: What’s in a name? By Kip Oswald Keshawn plays travel baseball with Devon, his best friend since kinder ga r ten. Devon is a sophomore at AustinEast High School. Since I will go to A-E afKip Oswald ter leaving Vine, Kinzy and I decided to research its history and the history of other schools in the community. AustinEast is a magnet school that focuses on dance, musical production, advanced art and theater programs. The name has a really cool history. Austin High School opened in 1879. It was named for Emily Austin, a white woman from Pennsylvania who raised money to start Knoxville’s first black high school. At the time, black students were educated in basements of churches. As the school grew, it moved to Green School (elementary) in 1916, changing the name to Knoxville Colored High School. The school stayed there for 12 years until it moved to another location on East Vine Street in 1929 and became Austin High School again. Austin High moved one block away to a new building in 1952. In 1968, the all-black Austin High School and the mostly-white East High School, which were some eight blocks apart, joined to make Austin-East. A-E relocated in the East High building, and the Austin school became Vine Mid-

dle Magnet School, named for the street it was on. Although several middle and elementary schools feed into Austin-East Magnet High School, the majority of students come from Vine Middle Magnet, Green Magnet Academy, and Sarah Moore Greene Magnet Academy. Green Magnet Academy began as Green School in 1909, named in honor of the late Dr. Henry Morgan Green, a well-known and respected Knoxville citizen. Green School only had students in kindergarten through second grade until 1915, when an addition was built onto the school and the students from Austin High School were moved there. In 1957, the new Green School was completed one block away from the old one. In 1993, a new wing was added and the school became known as Green Magnet Math and Science Academy. Sarah Moore Greene Magnet Academy was opened in 1974 and named for one of Knoxville’s most well-known civil-rights and community leaders. Living to age 102, Ms. Greene was the daughter of a former slave. She started teaching in a one-room schoolhouse and touched hundreds of lives through her life as a teacher, civil-rights leader, elected official and community volunteer. She was the first black member of the Knoxville Board of Education and a Tennessee delegate to the Republican National Convention. It is amazing what is in a name!

By Margie Hagen With over 60,000 bridges in the nation labeled structurally deficient, RDI Technologies’ BridgeView software will deliver cutting-edge information about structural conditions to bridge owners and inspectors. Located in West Knox County, RDI Technologies developed a process using motion amplification, essentially using a camera that turns every pixel into a sensor to measure motion that can’t be detected by the human eye. According to company president Bob Wilson, BridgeView allows users to: ■ Gather new information about the condition of critical infrastructure of bridges, tunnels and dams. ■ View the entire structure and components like cables, beams, support bars and decks in real time. ■ Eliminate the need to stop traffic during data collection. ■ Change the way mandated inspections are conducted. ■ Get results faster. “It can save lots of money and time,” says Wilson. “Before, the information was analyzed through formulas and calculations. With BridgeView the user sees a video versus lines on a chart. Our motto is ‘seeing is believing.’” The ability to see how a

It’s a non-contact application, meaning no lane closures or shutdowns slowing travel. The aging infrastructure has been a concern of the Federal Highway Administration and individual state bridge owners for years, and with good reason. According to a report published last year in the Washington Post, roughly 10 percent of the nation’s 600,000 bridges are structurally deficient, with roughly another 14 percent being functionally obsolete. “RDI is working on both proof of concept and the state and federal approval process,” Wilson noted. “The industry is moving toward

utilizing more technology, but change will be slow.” “BridgeView has been used as a service to large engineering firms to help with their bridge inspections,” says Jenna Johns, chief operating officer. “Currently, there is no quick or easy way to assess a bridge. Our technology will allow bridge owners (state DOTs and the Federal Highway Administration) to determine which ones are in the gravest need of repair to help prioritize money and resources.” With a release date projected for next year, BridgeView joins RDI’s other motion a mplification applications in structural health and machine condition monitoring.

The winning project in Knoxville SOUP’s final crowd-funding event of 2016 echoed one of SOUP’s goals: growth. “People in the Garden,” proposed by SEEED, took the term literally, with a project to get neighbors involved in a community garden. Last Thursday’s event, held at the Kerbela Shrine Center (aka Kerbela Temple) and emceed by Alan Williams of WVLT-TV, drew a crowd of about 90 and raised $513 for the winning project from donations at the door. It was the seventh SOUP dinner, which is presented by the South Knoxville Alliance. Lauren Kataja and Sarah Wharton made the proposal for SEEED – Socially Equal Energy Efficient Development – which is based in the Morningside neighborhood just east of downtown. The “People in the Garden” program wants to grow participation in SEEED’s community garden by having a parent-child workshop in which families make signs and identification tags for the garden. Kataja and Wharton were understandably excited about winning the cash prize. “I think it’s definitely going to cover our kickstart event with the sign supplies and the (garden) bed supplies, and I think it’s going

to help us further our greenhouse project, make more raised beds and buy more fruit trees,” said Kataja. The workshop will take place this fall, when the garden is mostly dormant. “It’s going to be more (about) getting people out in the garden and seeing what it’s all about,” Kataja said. Other projects presented at SOUP were: ■ Woven Family Ministry, which is trying to maintain a closet of supplies for South Knoxville foster parents’ initial needs when children are placed with them. Contact Jody King, jody.w.king@gmail.com ■ Oddity Museum, created by Creature Seeker Dark Market, featuring strange

and bizarre artifacts in what is hoped to become a tourist attraction on Chapman Highway. Contact Eric Brown, thecreatureseeker@ gmail.com ■ Angel With One Wing, a grassroots-aid initiative by Jeanette Canham, in which sales of artistic Tshirts will fund the needs of people in difficult medical and economic straits. Contact Canham, jacanham@ hotmail.com The Kerbela Shrine Center was represented by Grand Potentate/CEO Charles Clawson, third vice president Bill Pavlis and recorder Wayne Burkett. Burkett said they were impressed by SOUP and would be willing to host the event again.

Million Dollar Dinner may hit $3 million That Million Dollar Dinner that Rotary District 6780 is having in November to benefit the Rotary Foundation has now become a $2.5 Million Dinner and could well end up being a $3 Million Dinner. Rotarians from Knoxville’s seven clubs, along with Rotarians from other clubs in the district, have already raised and pledged $1.1 million. This is the first Million Dollar fundraiser in the district’s history. And now, one generous couple has offered to make a matching donation of up to $1 million for all gifts and commitments completed on or before Oct. 31, 2016. As an added incentive, another generous couple will match up to $500,000 for all gifts and commitments received beyond the fundraising goal. Both couples wish to remain anonymous. The dinner will be Saturday, Nov. 19, at Cherokee Country Club with a pair of distinguished Rotary guests: Rotary International President John F. Germ of the Rotary Club of Chattanooga and Ian H.S. Riseley of the Rotary Club of Sandringham, Victoria, Australia, who will be president of Rotary International in 201718. Riseley will be the keynote speaker for the evening. “It’s all perfect,” says Frank Rothermel, committee chair of the dinner and past district governor of 6780. “Charity Navigator (which rates nonprofit foundations) recently gave the Rotary Foundation a 100 – a perfect score – so donors know that the foundation will use their money wisely. “It’s the centennial year of the foundation. Our president, John Germ, is from our district. It has all come together for a great evening to celebrate this milestone event. I am so proud of our Rotarians, to step up and be so selfless. This leaves a great legacy for our district.” Rotarians who committed a minimum of $10,000 to this fundraising initiative in outright gifts, bequests or pledges will be honored at the VIP dinner and reception. “This is exciting for our district and for Rotary International,” Rothermel added. “This deepens the commitment our district and Rotarians have in making the world a better place.”

A good summer came to a good close. That is the best way to describe real estate and lending activity in Knox County last month, as Witt property sales and mortgage loans continued to show strength in the local market. For the month of September, there were 1,080 property transfers in Knox County, slightly ahead of last September’s pace when 1,063 parcels changed ownership. The aggregate value of property sold showed a more substantial increase as $313.3 million worth of real estate was transferred – some $50 million more than the value of land sold in September 2015. Amid looming threats that interest rates could rise, mortgage lending was healthy again last month

with $421.4 million being borrowed against real property in Knox County. Last year about $415 million was loaned in mortgages and refinancing during September. The largest property transfer of the month – and the largest in some time – was the sale of three residential complexes in West Knox County known as Forest Ridge I, II and III. The total of the sale came to just over $72 million. The largest mortgage recorded was a Deed of Trust financing the same sale. A comparison of data from the first three quarters shows 2016 running well ahead of the activity noted during the first nine months of last year. In 2015, there were 8,610 property sales recorded during the first three quarters representing an aggregate value of $1.96 billion. So far this year there have been 9,699 transfers for a total property value of $2.28 billion. Mortgage lending is also outperforming last year by about $266 million.

‘Some days we eat chicken,

The celebrity wall at the Steamboat Deli in Powell

the next day feathers’

Powell native and “Lawrence Welk Show” regular Ava Barber greets customers from behind the counter at the Steamboat Deli in Powell.

By David Hunter Some people might be surprised to see Ava Barber behind the counter of the Steamboat Deli on Emory Road in downtown Powell, not looking much different from her days as a full-time entertainer. But I wasn’t surprised at all. Barber was a nationally known singer not so long ago (and still a star to many), with two hits that climbed close to the top of “Hot Country Songs.” She was a regular on “The Lawrence Welk Show” and appeared on the “Grand Ole Opry,” “Nashville Now” and “Crook & Chase,” as well as PBS specials, while touring the country. I wasn’t surprised to see Barber at the deli that day because I have many artist friends, musicians, writers and painters in my circle of acquaintances. Almost every one of them has done stints at a “day job” when fortune is not smiling brightly on them. In fact, the former “Lawrence Welk” star may have summed it up best in a recent conversation on the subject. “Sometimes we eat chicken,” Barber said with a smile, “and the next day feathers.”

The Steamboat Deli in Powell, where former “Lawrence Welk Show” regular Ava Barber now works part time Barber has been singing for crowds since she was a little girl growing up listening to her father play country music on the radio. By 14, she was going to the WNOX auditorium and soon became a part of “The Bonnie Lou & Buster Show,” which aired nationally. Every good story has a romance, and Barber’s came when she met and married her first love, Roger Sullivan, who had a musical group called The Sweet Apple Band, when she was 17 and he was 21. It was a

romance that is still going strong 43 years later. “Some people said Roger robbed the cradle,” Barber recently told me. At that time, “The Lawrence Welk Show” was a staple of American television, featuring a variety of musical styles. Barber’s mother, Ruby Wayne Barber, was an avid fan of the show and encouraged her daughter to write to Welk for an audition when there were rumors that he was looking for a country singer to replace Lynn Anderson.

“I got an address off a tape at the studio where I performed, and we mailed the letter to the wrong place,” Barber laughingly told me. Eventually, though, Welk responded to a letter and suggested that if Barber was ever on the West Coast that she should come by and audition. “Roger called and actually talked to Lawrence Welk,” Barber said. “And he told Roger he would soon be in Nashville for a golf tournament where we could meet him.”

A publicity shot of local country music performer Ava Barber

So, it was in a tent at a Nashville golf course – not the best of conditions – where Barber first auditioned for the variety show host. “Lawrence played on a clinky old piano, and I sang ‘I Never Promised You a Rose Garden’ for him,” Barber said. Not long after that, with tickets bought by Welk, Barber and her husband Roger were on their way to Los Angeles to tape a show. “When we got there, the camera operators’ union was on strike, so there was no taping. Back at home, some people thought I had made the story up,” Barber said. It was only a temporary setback, though. Eventually, that first show was taped, and the audience response was so positive that Ava Barber became the first of only three singers ever to be hired by Welk after one appearance. On a personal note, that appearance was the fi rst time I ever saw Barber, and I remember it like it was yesterday. It’s a thrill when a hometown girl or boy does well, because it shows other struggling artists of all kinds that success

is possible. Not every singer becomes a super-wealthy world legend like Elvis Presley or Dolly Parton, nor does every painter become a Vincent Van Gogh or every writer a Kurt Vonnegut. But money is not the primary reason artists make art. They do it for the same reason a spider spins webs or a bee makes honey. It’s what they are. Ava Barber from North Knoxville made her mark in the entertainment world, and I don’t have the space to detail her career from star to helping out part-time in a family deli. Like Barber, I know it’s all temporary, some days chicken and some days feathers. Today she’s working the deli with her sister and nephew Jo Ann and Jimmy Miller, with a large menu on one wall and celebrity photographs on the opposite side. But the next time I see her, she may be back on national television. That’s the way an artist’s life works, and the money and fame are just the gravy that follows doing what they love. Just as a side note, the Steamboat Deli makes some of the best sandwiches I’ve had in years.

Renowned advocate honored by Central By Courtney Shea He has been called upon to take difficult legal cases, to strengthen the standards of his profession and to assist in the administration of justice through the courts of the United States. William Thomas Dillard’s career in law has set a gold standard for the legal profession, and Central High School has aptly chosen this 1959 graduate as an honoree on its Wall of Fame. He was born in Alabama to Gladys and Bill Dillard. After coming to Fountain City in 1950, the Dillard family put down roots, and Tom Dillard attended Smithwood Grammar School, then Central High School. Dillard states that he never has encountered a stronger English program than Central’s in the 1950s. From Clara Masterson’s freshman English class to Edith Wiles’ senior English class, Central provided him with a “phenomenal” grounding in grammar, language and literature. Students were drilled in the principles of the Harbrace Handbook (written by UT professor John C. Hodges and probably the most widely-used college handbook). Dillard had a love of argument and did well with the Central debate team. Coached by Alberta Ahler, his junior-year team won the district and was undefeated in three rounds of the state tournament. He played basketball his senior year, modestly describing himself as the “worst player on a championship team.” After graduating from Central, he entered the University of Tennessee, using the “3 plus 3” program and summer classes to obtain his law degree in 1964. He began working for the law firm of Stone and Bozeman. Encouraged by his friend John Cary, he later joined the U. S. Attorney’s Office, prosecuting matters such as bootleg liquor, fraud, bank rob-

bery, kidnapping and drugs, establishing a reputation as a thorough and effective prosecutor. After nine years with the U. S. Attorney’s Office, he was tapped for an appointment as a U.S. Magistrate, serving from 1976-78 before returning to the U. S. Attorney’s Office as the chief assistant. As a prosecutor, Dillard he got to know distinguished defense lawyer Robert W. Ritchie (Central Class of 1956). Dillard regarded Ritchie’s skills and work ethic as among the best and would later state that “Bob Ritchie set a standard of professionalism for lawyers throughout the country.” His work included reviewing other U.S. Attorneys’ Offices, which led to an unexpected offer: after visiting the Northern District of Florida and meeting U.S. Sen. Paula Hawkins, he became a candidate for appointment to be the U.S. Attorney for that district. He was concerned that moving to Florida would require his wife Susan to leave her teaching position at UT. It is unusual for a candidate from outside of a judicial district to receive this prestigious appointment, but Tom Dillard was selected, and Tom and Susan dove into the challenges of relocating to Tallahassee. As Tom took over administration of the office, Susan taught retail merchandising at Florida State and later entered a doctoral program there, eventually receiving her Ph.D. Bob Ritchie remained in touch. On one of his visits, Ritchie approached Dillard about coming back to Knoxville as a law partner. Dillard agreed, and in 1987 the law firm of Ritchie, Fels and Dillard was formed, becoming the premier criminal

In his long association with the firm, he successfully defended numerous individuals in a wide range of complex white collar crimes, high profile murder prosecutions and other serious cases. When asked in 2003 what he liked about his job, he cited “the people that you are able to help and the people that you work with, and I have been lucky enough to have the best of both.” Service to his profession has been a hallmark of Dillard’s career. He is the founding president of the Knoxville Defense Lawyers Association and has served on the boards of directors for the Tennessee Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, the Knoxville Bar Association, the Knoxville

Bar Foundation and the Federal Defender Services of East Tennessee. Through his tenure with the Tennessee Bar Association’s Committee on Professional Standards and the Advisory Commission to the Supreme Court on the Rules of Practice and Procedure, he worked to revise and update the Rules of Profes-

sional Conduct for attorneys in Tennessee. He has also furthered the quality of law practice through teaching trial practice at the National Institute for Trial Advocacy and the UT School of Law.

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

Cancer survivor: ‘Life goes on’ An attitude of gratitude helps Knoxville man overcome a devastating cancer diagnosis On Nov. 13, 2016, Michael Holtz, 47, will stand before an enthusiastic crowd of runners and walkers as co-chair of the Subway Race against Cancer. He’s been part of this race for more than a decade, but it means much more to him now than it did the first time he laced up his running shoes and pinned on a bib number. Since then, Holtz has experienced cancer on a very personal level, and his story is framed with irony. He was diagnosed with Stage 3b rectal cancer during Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month in 2012, five days after his birthday, while he was an employee of the American Cancer Society. “I’m not going to wallow in self-pity,” says Holtz, who has a permanent colostomy. “That’s just not who I am.” With the fifth anniversary of his cancer diagnosis coming in spring 2017, he’s looking to the future, and starting to make some celebratory plans. “I’m not sure what I’m doing, yet, but I’ve got a couple of things in mind.” Those five years have included 11 months during which Holtz underwent surgery, chemotherapy and radiation, he authored a book titled, “It’s Not Harder than Cancer,” he completed a marathon, conquered obstacle course-style Spartan races, and participated in the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network Leadership Summit in Washington, D.C., lobbying for cancer patients and their families. Holtz gives part of the credit for his quality of life today to Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center. First there was the surgery, performed by Greg Midis, MD, to remove a

Then, because he chose to have the surgery at Fort Sanders Regional, he had a specialized kind of nursing assistance that cancer patients don’t always have access to at other hospitals. Ostomy nurses at Fort Sanders Regional are trained and certified specifically in the care of the openings in the body created

Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center’s oncology program recognized by Becker’s Hospital program is part of comprehensive cancer services offered by Covenant Health

0094-0101

Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center, a member of Covenant Health, has been named to the 2016 list of “100 Hospitals and Health Systems with Great Oncology Programs” by Becker’s Hospital Review. The list includes hospitals and health system leading the nation in cancer care. “Hospitals included on this list offer patients comprehensive cancer care involving teams of specialists, participation in clinical trials and personalized treatment programs. Many organizations on this list are driving forces in the fight to end cancer as we know it,” according to Becker’s. Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center offers comprehensive cancer care, including inpatient services at the downtown

by procedures like colostomy, ileostomy or gastrostomy. Holtz says the nurses worked with him on three of the five days he was a patient at Fort Sanders Regional. “Not every hospital has ostomy nurses,” Holtz says. “Patients are often left on their own to figure out what to do.” On the first day the ostomy nurses administered all the care, showing him how to use and clean the appliance. The second day, they encouraged Holtz to take part in the process. The third day, they supervised as he took on the responsibility by himself. “Everything was very positive,” Holtz says. “They knew I was very active and they told me I didn’t have to change that because of my colostomy bag, which was wonderful to hear.” In fact, Holtz says the nurses very specifically told him not to just “go home and sit on the couch,” so he didn’t. Holtz says encouragement and compassion came from all the nurses and medical staff at Fort Sanders Regional, then at Thompson Cancer Survival Center. His family benefited from it almost as much as he did. Another factor in Michael Holtz’s success story is having an attitude of gratitude. From the day of the diagnosis, he and his wife, Sarah, made a pact that they would be Michael Holtz (left) presents a cake to surgeon Greg Midis, MD, on the third anniversary of the cancer diagnosis.

Knoxville medical center and advanced technology such as Fort Sanders Regional Gamma Knife Center at the adjacent campus of Thompson Cancer Survival Center. Thompson Cancer Survival Center offers medical and radiation oncology, chemotherapy, clinical trials and innovations in specialized cancer treatments at locations throughout East Tennessee. “Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center is pleased to receive this recognition from Becker’s,” said Keith Altshuler, president and chief administrative officer of the medical center. “Our physicians and staff work very hard to provide excellent care and supportive resources for patients and families facing cancer.”

positive and seek to be around others who could help them keep the right attitude. “At my church, I’ve sort of become known as the Gratitude Whisperer,” Holtz jokes. He has social media pages devoted to being thankful, he’s preached and taught lessons on gratitude, and an entire chapter of his book focuses on having a grateful perspective. “I wrote the book because I wanted to share with people what I learned during my experience – what it takes mentally to get through a serious illness like rectal cancer,” Holtz says. “The most important lesson I learned during my cancer journey was about being grateful and the value of staying grateful and finding reasons to be grateful, because there’s always something to be grateful for.” Holtz is thankful for many things, and says the cancer journey has strengthened his marriage, his faith in God, and his appreciation of the people in his life. “I will never say that cancer is a gift,” Holtz says, “but it certainly has brought a lot of good into my life.” His message for cancer patients today is, “life goes on.” Holtz says life must be embraced, because it can turn so quickly. “We’re not guaranteed tomorrow, so live every day to the fullest,” he says. “That’s not just a platitude, it’s true.” Holtz says it’s important to live each day like it’s the only one you have, don’t stress over the small problems in life, and if you have a cancer diagnosis, tell someone – don’t try to go it alone.
