Program. Russell said the project inTDOT project manager Mike Russell said that a contract could cludes the construction of four

lanes with a left-turn lane and 12foot shoulders. Estimated cost is $26 million. “Soon after that,” Russell said, “when funding is available,” TDOT would complete the widening of Highway 33 – four lanes, a left-turn lane, 12-foot outside shoulders – from the Union County line to Route 144 (Hickory Star Road). Estimated cost of that project is $34 million. TDOT assistant regional director Amanda Snowden said

the planned improvements to the intersection of Emory Road and Tazewell Pike at Harbison’s Crossroads is currently in the right-ofway phase, which will conclude next summer. “From there, we’ll go to construction in the fall of 2013,” Snowden said. The project includes widening the intersection and placing a traffic signal at the crossroads, as well as a turn lane in all directions.

Cas II honors old coonhunter Big Jim sings duet By Betty Bean Cas Walker Farm and Home Hour veterans David West and Russ Jeffers were swapping stories before the East Tennessee Historical Association’s BBQ, Blue Jeans and Cas II dinner. West told about the time Cas loaded him, Red Rector, Fred Smith and a dobro player in the Opel station wagon he used to haul his hunting dogs and drove them up to Kentucky. The musicians had a gig. Cas was going to see a man about a dog. On the way, he explained why he loved his hounds so much – they’d saved him from freezing to death one cold night in the woods by piling up and letting him burrow down into them. Then he told everybody to get out of the car and he’d be back later. “He dumped me and Fred and Red and the dobro player off on a corner in the dark to wait for him. After awhile, Fred said to me, ‘David, if it gets too cold, we can just throw another dog on the pile.’ ”

If I have a hero, it’s Dolly Parton. The biggest thing about her is her heart.” West, a master banjo player whose Clinton Highway music store and dance hall Ciderville have become the unofficial Cas Walker museum, wasn’t a bit surprised at the big crowd gathered for the Blue Jeans and Cas II dinner.

Other than your parents, who has had the biggest influence on your life and why? Without a doubt, my wise and insightful wife who keeps me grounded.

I would work on self-acceptance.

experiences, but I enjoyed at least aspects of every job I’ve had.

I really can’t think of an answer to that.

Complacency.

What’s one place in Halls, Powell or Fountain City everyone should visit? The library. It will take you anywhere in the world.

If you could do one impulsive thing, what would it be? More impulsive things! – J. Mabe

Gibbs High graduates Morgan and Chelsea Faulkner are members of the UT Pride of the Southland Band’s color guard. Photo submitted

Mike and Angie Faulker were looking for a way to surprise their daughters, Chelsea and Morgan.

Jake Mabe MY TWO CENTS They are proud of the fact that both sisters are now members of the UT Pride of the Southland Band color guard. So, they asked me to share their story. Chelsea, 23, is a senior at UT. She is a student leader on the color guard and is the “tip of the chevron,” the first color guard member in formation. She was in the color guard at Gibbs High and was drum major her junior and senior years before graduating in 2007. She is an English major. Morgan, 20, is a junior. She attended Lincoln Memo-

rial University for two years before transferring to UT. Morgan, too, has made the color guard and stands two spots behind her older sister. She is majoring in accounting, following in her mom’s footsteps. Angie is an accountant for a travel agency. Like Chelsea, Morgan was in the color guard at Gibbs High before graduating in 2010. The color guard practices three times a week. Last week, they were busy learning the impressive circle drill, which was to be performed at halftime during the Alabama game. Mike says the girls agree that performing in front of 100,000 people on fall football Saturdays is a bit intimidating. “Morgan was almost frozen at first,” Mike says. “She was afraid she was going to drop the flag.” “But they both love it,” Angie says. “We never imagined they’d be doing this together.” “We’re quite proud of them,” Mike says with a grin.

Cas II honors old coonhunter he heard Jeffers was a Farm and Home Hour alum he threw his arm around him and started singing: “Pick up the morning paper when it hits the street…” They finished up the duet, and Haslam, who probably was “fer” most everything Cas was “agin,” politically speaking (the City-County Building, the World’s Fair, any talk of a convention center) reminisced about his old nemesis: “Cas was OK,” Haslam said. “He’s part of Knoxville’s heritage with his radio and television shows … But we were on different sides, let’s put it that way. Cas didn’t like change, so we were on opposite sides most of the time.” West started the show by

Con Hunley then sang three songs and owned the room. West and the Cider Mountain Boys came on next, then comedian Jerry “Chicken Man” Isaacs and finally Claudia Coffey Tillman, a gospel singer with a set of pipes Kate Smith would have envied.

He is also the author of nine books about the Scots Irish settlers of southern Appalachia, and has made many friends during his visits to Tennessee.

Eatin’ cake in Halls

Jobs, schools and guns State House District 13 candidate Gloria Johnson took Tuesday night off to allow county Democratic Party chair Gloria Johnson to go to a debate-watching party and sample some fried cornbread. She was happy with both. She was pleased that her guy showed up this time – but what the heck is fried cornbread? “Kind of like a cornbread version of a funnel cake,� she said of the Big Fatty’s signature dish. “Incredible.� Johnson, a special education teacher at Richard Yoakley School, spends her free time campaigning.

And in her view, education is inextricably linked to employment. “A highly-educated workforce is key to a healthy economy,� she said. “Tennessee has been providing a great education on a minimal budget. It’s time to push forward. We have to do better in preparing students to be competitive, not just here, but with the whole world.� Johnson is deeply concerned about the General Assembly’s recent education initiatives, and she’s no fan of the Tennessee Virtual Academy, the cyber-school administered by Union County using curriculum and teachers provided by K12 Inc, a Virginia forprofit corporation founded by junk bond felon Michael Milken.

GOP headquarters a’buzz If you’ve ever watched a beehive, you have a pretty good idea what Knox County Republican headquarters was like the evening of the GOP’s debate watch party last week. The life-size cardboard cutout of Mitt Romney was about the only thing that wasn’t in perpetual motion. And even it had lots of company as the party faithful crowded around to have their picture taken with the likeness of their favorite candidate. Volunteers – many of them UT students – were working phone banks for local candidates. Others were working the phones for the Romney campaign, making calls to Virginia and other states considered still in play. Standing by to answer questions and greet visitors were former vice mayor Joe Bailey, who is co-chair

Anne Hart

of Romney’s campaign in Tennessee; Alexander Waters, Knox County Romney chair; and Ruthie Kuhlman, who wants to be county GOP chair when Ray Hal Jenkins’ term expires next year. All of the phone activity stopped promptly at 8 p.m., and then folks hit the buffet line to chow down on goodies brought in by wellwishers, sandwiches, potato salad and brownies donated by David Kiger of The Orangery, just across the street from headquarters. Anne Marie DeMoes was in charge of debate night set-up, working with Edie

Lunch with the mayor Mayor Rogero is working hard to persuade city voters to support the city charter amendment on pensions. It is the last item on the ballot after the county charter amendments. City Council approved it by a vote of 7-2 with Marshall Stair and Duane Grieve voting against. While Stair voted against it, he is not working to defeat it Nov. 6. Rogero has appeared on various talk shows and before civic groups. She is lobbying citizens including this writer to support it. The proposal is designed to reduce surging costs in the current pension plan. Rogero inherited this issue and now has to lead the effort to place pensions on sounder financial footing. The major criticism of the plan is that it does not go far enough to reduce costs for current employees but only impacts employees

Victor Ashe

who go to work for the city after Jan. 1, 2013. For new city employees, it clearly cuts costs substantially. However, the benefit of that will not be felt for 15 to 20 years when new employees who worked at least 10 years start to retire at age 63. By increasing the vesting period from 5 to 10 years, it guarantees that future mayors and their political appointees will likely not be eligible for a city pension since mayors can serve only 8 years under term limits. While it is a valid comment that costs for current city employees need to be reduced (and the plan does not do that), the defeat of

Clemons, Suzanne Dewar and Manuela Ptacek, who registered everyone for the door prize. The crowd included lots of folks you would expect to see at such a gathering and some newcomers, like Terry Adkins, a Powell native and local attorney who said this is his first involvement with a campaign. He was making telephone calls to Virginia and said, “One fellow I talked with said he was undecided. He had so many questions he kept me on the phone for half an hour.� At 9 o’clock, the group filled every seat in the house to watch the debate – and to do what most folks do: talk back to the TV. One wag, obviously irritated at some of the president’s responses, said, “Now I understand why Elvis shot up so many TV sets.�

this proposal would leave the city with no plan to curtail any costs – present or future – a huge financial burden for city taxpayers. Voters should vote “yes� on the city charter amendment and hope the mayor and council face the question of current employees in the next several years. A few weeks ago at Ijams Symphony in the Park, I purchased a donated lunch with the mayor at the silent auction and next Monday, Oct. 29, Joan and I will be lunching with Mayor Rogero at Ijams Nature Center. Ijams did especially well on this item as Stephanie Wallace, wife of council member George Wallace, was also bidding on the lunch which caused the final price to escalate. But all to a good cause which is Ijams. The truth is that both of us could probably invite the mayor to lunch and she would happily come. ■Judge Wheeler Rosenbalm’s retirement

nder the general heading of how long should it take to restore a hobbling football program, otherwise logical people keep trying to compare Derek Dooley and Steve Spurrier. I understand that with a twist or two, numbers can be used to prove almost anything, but Tennessee and South Carolina are farther apart than the proverbial apples and oranges. Consider expectations: Before Spurrier, Lou Holtz gave the Gamecocks hope but little else. In all of history, USC had finished in the AP top 25 only five times. Only twice had it gone bowling in consecutive years. Tennessee, measured in total victories, is one of the top 10 programs of all time. In Big Orange Country, good has never been good enough. Recruiting? South Carolina has geographical advantages. It also has Clemson competing for in-state talent. The first reaction to this current UT dilemma is to blame Dooley for dragging his feet. Spurrier wrested the Gamecocks away from the taxidermist and immediately transformed them into wonderful winners. Well, not exactly. Holtz had a couple of good foundation years and leveled off. Spurrier went 7-5, 8-5, 6-6, 7-6 and 7-6 before this upswing. Tennessee defeated South Carolina as recently as 2009. Over five seasons, Spurrier was 1822 against the SEC. To Spurrier’s credit, he has not fathered anything as ugly as Dooley 2011 but Steviewonder never had to face a Kentucky wide receiver playing quarterback in the season finale – fueled with the motivation of ending a quartercentury of frustration. The Spurrier challenge (after cashing his final NFL check) was simple compared to the Dooley project. South Carolina was delighted to have a famous coach, even one inclined toward golf and boogie-boarding. Spurrier came with football credibility, Heisman Trophy as a player, national championship and a bunch of other medals and ribbons as a coach. What a show when he threw his visor and went scowling and stomping along the sideline. It was much better than orange pants. From the start, Derek Dooley was a question

It was revealed to them that they were serving not themselves but you, in regard to the things that have now been announced to you through those who brought you good news by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven—things into which angels long to look! (I Peter 1:12 NRSV) Day breaks and the boy wakes up And the dog barks and the birds sing And the sap rises and the angels sigh. (“Copperline,� James Taylor)

In this Oct. 8, 2011, file photo, South Carolina head coach Steve Spurrier yells onto the field during the third quarter in a game against Kentucky at Williams Brice Stadium in Columbia, S.C. The Ol’ Ball Coach and his Gamecocks will host the Volunteers Saturday at noon. AP Photo/Rich Glickstein mark. The emergency replacement for the migratory Lane Kiffin didn’t have much on his resumÊ. He schooled under the great Nick Saban but he did not win at Louisiana Tech. He did have a famous name and a law degree. That he was available on short notice was of greater significance. Tennessee fans wondered aloud why athletic director Mike Hamilton couldn’t do better – maybe somebody like Jon Gruden or Vince Lombardi. It now appears Tennessee needed miraculous assistance. Fans were slow to realize roster shortages. Only

a few got really excited about minimum progress. Massive turnover of assistant coaches, good or bad, was confusing. Recruiting appeared encouraging until compared with the big boys in the SEC. Now we know catching up, at the rate we are going, is a slow process. Comparing Dooley and Spurrier is unfair. Tasks and conditions are not equal. They climb different mountains. South Carolina patience has been rewarded. There is no way to tell if time is all Dooley needs. Marvin West invites reader reaction. His address is westwest6@netzero. com.

O

n a recent Friday I drove over the mountains into North Carolina to visit my daughter Eden. It was a beautiful October day, blue skies, crisp air, an occasional tree beginning to show color. I drove back home on Sunday afternoon and noticed still more vibrant color. The hills were wearing plaid by then: gold and russet and green woven together like some autumnal tartan. The slanting sun threw shadows across the ridges and my heart ached just a little. I love fall, even with its twinge of sadness. My mind tells me it is just one arc of an enormous circle, but my soul knows it is the beginning of an end. The year is dying. Even the foods of autumn are different. The fall vegetables are sturdi-

er, plainer: parsnips, carrots, yams. A mug of Earl Grey tea hits the spot on an October afternoon and a slab of rye bread, spread thick with butter, is the perfect accompaniment. I haul out the cookbooks, looking for stew recipes and casseroles and something fabulous to do with apples. Sweaters and thick socks and knitted scarves come out of the closets and I try to find just the right setting on the thermostat to keep me comfortable and my checkbook in the black. It is a time for reading. As the days grow shorter, I keep at least one book going, sometimes two: a novel and a “how-to.� It is a time for writing. I buy elegant stationery, writing long, chatty, newsy let-

ters to my friends far away; at least they are written in my head. Actually getting them onto the stationery is more problematic. I study the woodpile and calculate when I should build the first fire, knowing even as I stand looking at the logs that I will wait until one of my girls is home to enjoy the fire with me. And I remember. I remember deaths: my father, a beloved uncle, a marriage. I remember harvest moons, apples baked on sticks over a fire and hiking in the Delaware Water Gap. I remember camping trips and football games and Halloween parties. And one last, precious October memory. I remember the night during a revival in a small country church, when I gave my life to the Lord. On the way home that night – just Daddy and me – I saw a smudge of light in the sky and asked him what it was. “It looks like a comet, honey,� he answered. And it was, the first one I had ever seen. A sign, a blessing, a “You go, girl!� And I’m pretty sure the angels sighed.

Watching the water rise MALCOLM’S CORNER | Malcolm Shell Of all the events that have impacted the Village of Concord – marble quarry closings, World War II, the decline of the railroad – the construction of Fort Loudoun Dam, which formed Fort Loudoun Lake, ranks very high on the list. Although the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) had given subtle hints that the impact on Concord might be significant, I don’t think many residents realized that it would result in the inundation of about one-third of the village. In 1942, the number 877 became significant because residents of all the property located

below that line on a contour map were forced to move. This included some 42 homes and the Southern Railway Depot on the south side of the present-day railroad tracks. Our home was on the south side of the tracks and I guess I could say literally that I grew up on the wrong side of the tracks. My family was fortunate to find a property for sale near the top of the hill just above Concord Presbyterian Church. I am not sure of the compensation amount given by TVA, but considering the fact that existing properties were very limited, I am sure they paid top

dollar for our new home. At least one family disassembled their home plank by plank and put it back together on another lot, but most families just moved their personal belongings and let TVA take care of razing the house. This was an emotional time for village residents who felt their homes had been “taken.” And there was considerable stress in trying to find another place to live. Years later, it was not uncommon to see former residents standing on the railroad tracks, trying to envision where their home had been. Our home was located near the tracks, and when the lake is down in the winter, you can see the outline of foundations. Although I was very young, I can remember standing on the tracks with my parents and watching the water slowly rise over our foundation. Although TVA removed most of the small brush, the larger trees were simply cut and tied down. Over the years these became good

fishing spots. To that extent, the older residents had a decided advantage in knowing where to catch the big game fish like largemouth bass. The lake did, however, provide a great playground, particularly for those who liked speed boats, as they were called, and those who enjoyed water skiing. But I am not aware of any local residents who owned this type of craft. Most were small fishing boats, or John Boats, with small outboard motors. Many of the locals built their boats in their backyards or garages and we undertook such a venture. With the aid of my brotherin-law Alvin Smith, we built a nice fishing boat in our garage. We did it during the winter months, and I remember I could hardly wait until spring when we intended to launch it. When the time came, we loaded it on a flatbed trailer, moved it to the lake and gradually pushed it into the water. It had hardly cleared the bank when it sank in

about 2 feet of water. I couldn’t believe all the work that went into the project just to have it stay afloat about two minutes. However, my dad had forgoten to tell me that was the plan. You could not fit the decking close together because the water would cause the wood to swell and pop off the planks. So, after the boat had been sunk about a week, we pulled it out and caulked the joints and it floated. There are not many villagers left who remember the water rising over the foundations of their homes. And time has served its purpose in removing most of those unpleasant memories. Several years ago, an Elia Kazan-directed movie titled “Wild River,” starring Montgomery Clift, Lee Remick and Jo Van Fleet, told the story of a family who were forced to move from their farm to make way for a new lake. And I guess the drama depicted in that film would have seemed familiar to many of the residents of Concord Village in 1942.

Looming in the future By Cindy Taylor Deep in the wilds of the West Virginia woods and a whole lifestyle away lies the Canaan (pronounced Kanain) Valley. If you travel far enough into the valley you can find a gold mine. Not in the literal sense; but to those who stumble across Ben’s Old Loom Barn there is a true sense of discovery. Unfamiliar words are tossed about by those who work there, such as weft, warp, raddle and shuttle. These are terms used in the art of weaving. Phyllis Helmick and April Welsh are two of the talented folks who work the business located in Davis, W.Va. They are busy setting up one of April’s designs on a loom that sits next to one dating back to the Civil War. “We use a lot of cotton and wool,” says Helmick. “Alpaca is a favorite but very

few people few peo pe ople want to pay the price for it.” Dorothy Mayor Thompson, the founder of the business and wife to the barn’s namesake, began teaching weaving in a one-room schoolhouse. The school’s original alphabet now hangs in the barn. The old Civil War loom, built by Dorothy’s father, holds a place of honor there, hence the name Ben’s Old Loom Barn. Thompson grew up during the Great Depression and was a student in weaving with master weaver Lou Tate at the Loom House in Kentucky. During World War II, Thompson went to work with her mother, Rose Mayor, teaching in the Weaving Room at the Arthurdale Center. She met and married Ben Thompson. The two came to the farm in Canaan where Thompson taught weaving until her death in

by those who work at the barn are for sale and include shawls, table runners and gloves. The high cost of raw materials today makes it difficult to keep the price down. “The cost of yarn can equal $20 a pound just for the

cheap materials,” said Welsh, who observed the original looms had punch cards and could be considered one of the first computers. The Canaan Weavers Guild meets each month at the barn to carry on the centuries-old tradition of weaving.

Timeline set for Clayton Park By Sandra Clark Work should start “within a month” on three projects at Clayton Park in Halls. Doug Bataille, the county’s director of parks and recreation, spoke last week to the Halls Business and Professional Association. The project will include a driveway off Norris Freeway into the park and paving of parking spaces. It will include construction of a restroom and a picnic pavilion. Bataille said the project will cost almost one-half million dollars with $240,000 from the state, a $120,000 county match in the value of the land, and another $120,000 match in Knox County labor. Bataille said his “very lean budget” means projects often take longer than he wishes but his staff stretches money and does good quality work. Within “the next week or two,” Bataille said the Public Building Authority will award a contract for another related project – the greenway connector from Clayton Park to Halls Elementary School. He said Knox County will provide $120,000 match to draw down about $622,000 from the state. Bataille has 15 projects underway including work on the dog park at Schumpert Park where the swimming hole has been closed all summer and expanded parking at House Mountain Park. “Clayton Park will be our big project for the next year,” he said. ■ Kimberly Greene, TVA’s executive vice president and chief generation officer, will speak at the business club’s annual banquet, Ted Hatfield announced. She is a graduate of Halls High School. ■ Parks and Recreation gets “point six percent” or just over half of one percent of Knox County’s budget, Bataille said. “We mow the grass and pay the light bill, but volunteers run these parks.”

‘The real deal’ TRAK sponsors festival at Butler Farm By Sandra Clark

Mayor Tim Burchett got it right when he called Josephine Butler and the Therapeutic Riding Academy of Knoxville “the real deal.” Burchett spoke at the group’s Fall Festival at Doc’s – the farm home of Josephine and the late Dr. Bill Butler in Karns. It was a fundraiser for the academy which serves 17 young people and has the capacity to serve 25 with five horses and multiple volunteers. The director is Stacie Hirsch. Beth Butler Childress said her dad had a passion for taking care of animals and serving others. “Mom has continued his legacy by using the farm for TRAK.” Mary Anne Prueitt spoke of her grandson, Lo-

gan, who rides at TRAK one day a week. “He started coming here when he was 7. He went right up to the biggest horse,” she said. “Now you would think that boy grew up on a horse and was born in Texas. He’s one happy little boy.” Logan had a huge support team including Tronda, Tara and Joe O’Brien, along with Larry Williford. Hirsch’s mom, Cathy Pethel, spoke about her breast cancer. “My treatment plan was to trust in God, use limited surgical intervention, change my diet and start exercising. We need fresh thinking (about cancer),” she said. “We have some control. It’s not just our genes that control our outcomes.” The afternoon event featured pony rides, food and cider, TRAK T-shirts and games. County commissioner Brad Anders also attended.

Antique festival draws huge crowd By Cindy Taylor More than 80 antique dealers from around the region lined Market Street in downtown Clinton on Oct. 12-13 for the 12th annual Clinch River Antique Festival. The yearly fall festival is presented by the Anderson County Chamber of Commerce and the city of Clinton. It has also become a community heritage celebration. Friday evening featured family-friendly activities with wagon rides, food and musical entertainment. Saturday offered even more food, a Kids Korner sponsored by First Baptist of Clinton and live music with bands performing on stage in Gazebo Park. “The Fall Festival has grown in its reputation among antique dealers and collectors,” said Chamber

president Jackie Nichols. “It has become more than a well-known antique event. With over 10,000 attendees it is the place to be the second weekend in October.” The 1804 Aaron Burr/Alexander Hamilton duel was re-enacted and a narrative was presented on how the town of Clinton got its name. Founded in 1801, the town of Burrville was named in honor of Burr, vice president of the United States during President Thomas Jefferson’s first term. Burr and secretary of the treasury Alexander Hamilton had hated each other for years. George Clinton succeeded Burr as vice president. On Nov. 8, 1809, by act of the state legislature, the town of Burrville was renamed because of the disgrace of the duel, which resulted in Hamilton’s death.

Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton (David Daily and Harry Bumgardner) square off for their “duel” during the Clinch River Antique Festival in Clinton. Union County commissioner Wayne Roach and Aaron Burr (David Daily) chat after the duel.

Burr was tried but was neither prosecuted nor acquitted for the crime.

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

Cardiac rehab helps woman get heart healthy Helen “Snooky” Ward of Knoxville loves making people smile. She and her husband, Dallas, are professional clowns, entertaining crowds at local baseball games, community events and parties. But heart disease is no laughing matter to Ward. On Father’s Day in June, Ward had her second heart attack and second cardiac stent procedure in seven years. Ward says even though she felt “heavy chested,” she didn’t think she was having a heart attack. “I was at church that morning and thought I’d pulled a muscle,” she remembers. “Later in the afternoon, the pain went to my neck and jaw area, and I couldn’t breathe.” Ward finally went to the Fort Sanders Emergency Room that evening and was quickly diagnosed with a heart attack. “It wasn’t a blockage, but my heart vessels were badly constricted,” she says. Ward’s cardiologist, Dr. Mike Ayres with Knoxville Heart Group, placed a stent in her carotid artery and recommended that after her heart healed for a couple weeks, she attend the Fort Sanders Cardiac Rehabilitation Outpatient Program, also known as “CROP.” “I did heart rehab at Fort Sanders seven years ago and knew that was where I wanted to go,” says Ward. “Fort Sanders has always been our hospital. My daughter was born there.”

Helen “Snooky” Ward has lost 19 pounds while participating in the Cardiac Rehabilitation Outpatient Program (CROP) at Fort Sanders Regional.

Over the next three months at CROP, Ward took part in health classes and exercise sessions designed to strengthen her heart muscle. “They had me doing the treadmill, bikes, steps, weights and the arm machine,” says Ward. “I feel so much better all over. I find myself wanting to take a walk at home now.” That’s a big deal for Ward, who was a self-described “couch potato.” Since undergoing cardiac rehab at Fort Sanders, she has lost 19 pounds and says she has more energy than ever. “I get up and do things now. I’m motivated to keep exercising.” Ward, who has now completed CROP, is continuing to pursue a healthier lifestyle. “I’m eating healthier and feel good. It’s a great program. The staff cares and really takes pride in helping people like me!” For more information about the Cardiac Rehabilitation Outpatient Program at Fort Sanders Regional, call 865-541-1250 or go to fsregional.com/cardiovascular.

The exercises and healthier habits Helen has learned at the Fort Sanders Cardiac Outpatient Rehabilitation Program gives her more energy when she “clowns around” with husband Dallas.

Leaving the hospital is just the first step in recovering from a heart attack, heart surgery or angioplasty. Cardiac patients often need to strengthen weakened heart muscles and learn heart-healthy practices. Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center heart patients are referred to the hospital’s Cardiac Rehabilitation Outpatient Program. The three-month program offers exercise sessions and health classes to establish lifestyle changes that help reduce the patient’s risk of further heart disease. “Cardiac Rehabilitation is a multidisciplinary treatment plan which involves medication, nursing, exercise physiology, nutrition and psychology. We know it’s difficult to make lifestyle change, so we try to provide people support so they can change,” explains cardiac rehab nurse case manager Brenda Leuthold. Patients exercise three times each week while hooked to a heart monitor. They also attend different classes on nutrition, stress management and medications. “It’s long enough to help form healthy habits,” says Leuthold. After completing the rehab program, patients are invited back to the center to continue exercising. The center has exercise bikes, step machines, treadmills and free weights. “It’s a wonderful support group for anybody that’s had heart disease or heart procedures,” says Leuthold. “We have a lot of great outcomes.”

Her book, “Mountain Refuge,” is a story based on the life of her greatgrandfather, his move to Alabama and his return to the Tennessee mountains of his childhood. The 84-year-old loves to tell a good story. Put-

SENIOR NOTES

This happened to me and a farmer friend in West Knoxville not too long ago. An animal of some sort had been eating corn in his field, so he set a humane trap to find out what it was. The next morning an albino raccoon lay quietly within the trap, looking up with its pale eyes. The raccoon was released, but not before I was able to take pictures. Albino raccoons are pretty rare and

An albino raccoon in a cat carrier before he was released back into the wild. I can’t imagine how he could camouflage himself very well in his natural habitat. When we released him, he moseyed away, stopping in the field to look at us briefly before scurrying up a tree in the distance. That’s the last we’ve seen of him, and ironically, the corn eater – whatever it may have been – has yet to resurface. Although some may have found him to be odd or intimidating, we felt blessed to have seen such an amazing creation.
