The ‘First Lady’ and The King

Forty years ago this month, on April 8, 1972, Janet Testerman Crossley, then the wife of Kyle Testerman, Knoxville’s city mayor at the time, was waiting at the bottom of an airplane’s steps at McGhee-Tyson Airport to put a Dogwood Arts Festival pin on Elvis Aron Presley.

‘Whatever it takes’ Last spring when Parker Wormsley committed to play baseball at UT, he gave an early glimpse of his grit. “I told ’em I’d do whatever it takes (to get to play),” the multi-position player, who was a Louisville Slugger AllAmerican in that role at Webb School of Knoxville, told reporters. He was true to his word.

Eva Wiggins Mapp received a Certificate of Distinguished Service presented by Knox County Schools Superintendent Dr. Jim McIntyre during the annual PTA celebration and awards presentation titled “Evening of Elegance to Celebrate Excellence” held at Rothchild Catering. “This Leadership Circle Gift recognizes her contributions to PTA over her lifetime and her dedication to promote PTA in the schools and community. Her endless work has encouraged parents, teachers and community in working together to improve and enhance educational opportunities of the children of Knox County. This establishes her legacy with the National PTA,” McIntyre said as he presented the award to Mapp. Mapp expressed genuine surprise, joy and excitement as she received roses from McIntyre, an award and a pin, recognizing her 69 years of service with the PTA. “It’s been a joy,” she said. There were many others recognized for their achievements at this annual PTA event. Upcoming PTA events include the state convention in Nashville on May 3-5; the Knox County PTA School of Instruction for all new

Marvin West catches up with him. “I was blessed to wear the Orange,” Severance says. “I was blessed to grow up here and get to play before home folk.” And, he says, he was blessed to be a part of the play forever known as “The Stop.”

College photos of Leo Cooper and JoAnn Henson.

A 55-year love affair By Betty Bean Fifty-five years ago, a long, tall drink of water from Powell Station named Leo Cooper was walking across the East Tennessee State College campus when the prettiest girl in the world came walking toward him. He proceeded to follow her. He wasted no time finding out that she was JoAnn Henson from Bluff City. “I proposed to her first time I ever saw her,” he said. “He was a senior and I was a freshman. He was a basketball player and I was homecoming queen. He saw me long before I saw him and he just chased me all over,” JoAnn said. “When he proposed to me, I laughed real hard because I had other boyfriends. A few months later, he said it’s them or me. And I made the right decision.” JoAnn laughs again

when asked if she’s ever been told that she looks a lot like Elizabeth Taylor. “Only hundreds of times,” Leo says. “One time we were in California and there was a Liz Taylor lookalike contest at this function we went to. I noticed everybody looking at her. …” JoAnn laughs again – “I never took much stock in that. I’m a behind-thescenes person all the way.” After college, the Coopers came back to Knoxville, became successful educators – Leo was principal of Gresham Middle School when he retired, JoAnn an art teacher at Halls and Powell high schools for a combined 24 years –had three children and built a spacious, art and mementofilled two-story log home in Halls. Leo spent 16 years as a County Commissioner and for nine of those years

JoAnn cannot remember attending a single County Commission meeting during that time. In between those careers, Leo had a successful run as a restaurant owner and JoAnn as the proprietor of Trunk Treasures, a shop that sold art and highend home décor. Their two surviving children, Leo Jr. and Kristy

SOUTHERN GOSPEL CONCERT

Carter, are both elementary school teachers (Kristy teaches 2nd grade at Corryton, Leo Jr. teaches 5th grade at Fountain City). Kristy has two children, Casey Carter McManaman and Donnie Carter, a math whiz who has been accepted into the L&N STEM Academy. Casey has presented the Coopers with their first great-grandchild, 3-year-old Leah FaNee. Leo Jr. and his wife, Dr. Beth Cooper, have two children, Leo James “Trey” Cooper III and Marli, who are 9 and 5, respectively. Little Leah FaNee is named for the Cooper’s eldest child, FaNee, who died in a car crash March 7, 1977, when she was 17. It is the tragedy of the Coopers’ life, and JoAnn’s eyes mist over when she speaks about it. FaNee’s portrait hangs on the wall above a painting of a field of daisies, FaNee’s favorite flower. She inherited a goodly share of her mother’s artistic talent. JoAnn’s retirement years have been busy and productive ones because she has had the time to pursue her own art, rather than teaching students and raising children. She is a gifted watercolorist who loves nostalgic, whimsical subjects, like the 1949 8N Ford tractor that Leo restored, and which she has immortalized in a framed painting and (along with an assortment of other work) on bright, original note cards that are digital cop-

ies of a dozen or so watercolors. “I enjoy just giving them away,” she said. “I have people telling me I need to make this a business, but I just want to enjoy and share. It’s just something I can do that people enjoy. “I loved my teenagers, oh my goodness. I run into former students all the time. But in between teaching, raising kids, helping raise four grandchildren, finally, I have some time. I volunteer at the Fountain City Art Center and take a watercolor class. I’m really enjoying being with a class of artists. Mary Baumgartner is my teacher, and oh, my, she has such a world of experience that I just take every opportunity to grasp.” Leo says he doesn’t much miss politics, except for the associations, and keeps busy with his roses and with restoring JoAnn’s father’s 1952 Chevrolet with the assistance of one of JoAnn’s Halls High School students, Mike Bossenau. There’s a lipstick red ’65 Mustang fastback in the other side of the garage and a pile of children’s bikes and toys out in the carport. All in all, the Coopers are having a happy, productive retirement. “It’s been a wonderful life,” Leo said. “Jo is my best friend and is very, very kind. She didn’t marry me for money – I can tell you that. It’s been a 55-year love affair.”

Golf team sets Guinness world record Pin High Pro golf team set a Guinness world record April 24 by hitting 37,015 golf balls into a target area within a 24-hour period at Dead Horse Lake Golf Course off Sherrill Boulevard. A minimum of 20,000 was required to set the world record. John Owings, an attorney with Robertson, Overby, Wilson and Beeler; Carl Papa, president of Pin High Pro; and Alex Hunt, head golf pro with Dead Horse Lake Golf Club, are optimistic at nine hours into the 24-hour world-record golf event. Photos by T.

Edwards of TEPHOTOS.com

The team was divided into two groups. The first shift – 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. April 23 – was comprised of Carl Papa, John Owings, Jim White, Rock Saraceni, Mike Thompson and Jason Nelson. The night shift – 9 p.m. April 23 to 9 a.m. April 24 – consisted of Gordon Bruner, John Roethlisberger, Zane Hagy, Bill Cross, Tom Slagle and Kai Thomas. Although Papa was on the first shift, he stayed all night. “I took just a two-hour nap in the car,” he said.

Carl Papa keeps a quick, steady pace hitting golf balls as volunteer Brad Brunette sets the balls. Two video cameras record the entire 24-hour event, as one person counts balls hit and another counts balls that miss the target. The group hit golf balls all night long, according to Papa. “It got extremely cold. We had several propane heaters going and wore gloves and a hood. It was a

long night.” They had a tent, but the wind tore it down. It got down in the 30s. “There was frost around us. It sure took stamina to stay there,” he

said. The wind also made it harder to hit the target. The golf course was lit at night by huge floodlights donated by United Rental. Golf balls were provided

by Dead Horse Lake Golf Course. “They have been extraordinarily hospitable,” Jim White said. Certifications were required by Guinness to verify the world record. This included having an official time keeper and ball counter, hand counting balls which missed the target after the event, video recording of the entire event and reviewing the video. The team is in the process of sending the certifications to London to “bring back to Knoxville the world

record,” according to Papa. He described himself as “tired, sore, happy; riding on the excitement of setting this world record.” He was ready to sleep in his own bed and nurse his sore muscles. The team did this for something different because they like a challenge, an adventure. “We are all friends and enjoy playing golf together,” said Papa. He also wanted to promote his new product, Pin High Pro, a portable golf swing training aid.

May is bike month Bicycle Ambassador Nick Shoemaker shared bicycle maps and calendars of local May bike month events during Earthfest at Pellissippi State Community College. “One of the best things about bicycling is it’s something you can do today that will make a difference. Bicycling to work or the store means taking personal responsibility for improving your health and saving money, but also helps our community and our country. More people on bicycles

means safer streets, healthier people, cleaner air and more livable communities.” according to the Bicycle Program. May is filled with bike events which can be found online at www.knoxtrans. org. Sign up with Smart Trips at www.knoxsmarttrips. org and you can save money, earn gift cards and win prizes when you carpool, bicycle, take the bus, walk, telework or vanpool instead of driving alone to work.

GOSSIP AND LIES

Both women motored to Greeneville last Thursday to address the TVA board of directors. During an intermission, board chair Bill Sansom spoke with them and seemed to listen. On the other hand, he did not agree to or decline their request for a meeting. Knowing both women, as well as Sansom, I would encourage him to meet with them at some point regardless of what the TVA legal office and public relations staff tell him. Sansom is a public official confirmed by the U.S. Senate. He has previously been state Commissioner of Finance and Transportation for Gov. Lamar Alexander. He knows public issues and this is not one to go away. In fact, it is costing TVA precious public support the longer their arrogant approach prevails. Sansom lives on Duncan Road, less than three miles from Van Meter and Jarrard. Former liberal activist Neil McBride (now a TVA board member) also lives in the Knoxville area (Oak Ridge). Both owe it to their neighbors to meet with them and hear them out. Free Speech: Meanwhile, a TVA action designed to curb free expression winds it way through federal court in Judge Thomas Phillips’ court over dress codes which TVA requires to attend its public hearings. It was filed by attorney Chris Irwin, who was barred when he attempted to attend a TVA meeting with red paint on part of his face. Four TVA attorneys – Ralph Rodgers, Harriet Cooper, Maria Gillen and Jodie Birdwell – are handling this case which would seem to be overkill. Thousands of dollars are being spent to enforce and defend this dress code when it really should not matter what one wears to a public hearing as long as he is wearing clothes. One’s dress can be an expression

Charlie Severance wins again One song, “Achy Breaky Heart,” made Billy Ray Cyrus a temporary millionaire. Buster Douglas, 42-1 underdog, knocked out Mike Tyson, and, for a few wonderful weeks was heavyweight champion of the boxing world. Charlie Severance, reserve wingback, was in the exact right place at the right time and put hard hat and pads to LSU superstar Billy Cannon a foot or two from the goal on Shields-WatCharlie Severance kins Field. That one is forever. Photo circa 1980 What then seemed to be just a timely gang tackle in the 1959 homecoming game on a cold November Saturday eventually evolved into The Stop, the most famous defensive play in the history of Tennessee football. Severance had help – Wayne Grubb and Bill Majors. Other plays and players – Jim Cartwright, Neyle Sollee and Jack Kile come to mind – were also key factors in the upset of the top-ranked Tigers. The Volunteer victory, a sizable surprise, was the highlight of what became a mediocre season. LSU was good. It dominated Tennessee statistically and closed to 14-13 with a touchdown on the second play of the fourth quarter. Defending national champions do not kick an extra point to tie. They use the new rule and go for two to take the lead. Cannon, on his way to the Heisman Trophy, got the ball on a predictable pitch-slant that had been previewed and diagramed in the newspaper that week. The Vols, properly coached, were waiting. Grubb got Cannon by the ankles. Severance, up close like a linebacker, applied a robust bear hug. Majors came over the top. Cannon thought sure he had reached the goal. Not so declared the Vols – and head linesman Bob King. LSU had three later possessions without success. Tennessee celebrated.

Marvin West

Over time, The Stop developed a life of its own and changed Severance’s life. For 53 years, Tennessee fans have reached out to shake his hand and say “I was there.” “If all who say they saw the game had actually been there, the crowd would have been 200,000,” says Severance with a big smile. Gus Manning estimated attendance at 47,000. Charlie has had a lot of fun with his part of The Stop. He has been to Baton Rouge several times for social and media events with Cannon. He introduced Billy’s speech at the Knoxville Quarterback Club. They are good together. “I made it, without a doubt.” “You did not, have not and will not.” Charlie Severance was not a onehit wonder. He was a star at Central High in the Dan Boring era. He earned a UT degree in transportation and finance. He married well (Phyllis) and remains active in a sales career. He was a state representative, 16th district, for seven terms, always responsible for introducing other famous athletes who came to visit government. Charlie was a good golfer, softball slugger and grouse hunter. He still enjoys the fellowship of a hunting camp. He is an entertaining storyteller. He has hundreds of friends who still want to talk about The Stop. It was his defining moment. It is a marvelous memory, to be applauded again this summer when he is inducted into the Greater Knoxville Sports Hall of Fame. “I was blessed to wear the Orange. I was blessed to grow up here and get to play before home folk. I was blessed to be part of that particular play.” Marvin West invites reader reaction. His address is westwest6@netzero.com.

‘Whatever it takes’ Last spring when Parker Wormsley committed to play baseball at the University of Tennessee, he gave an early glimpse of his grit. “I told ’em I’d do whatever it takes (to get to play),” the multiposition player, who was a Louisville Slugger All-American in that role at Webb School of Knoxville, told reporters. He was true to his word. When Wormsley, now a freshman at UT, was asked to switch from his normal second base or shortstop positions and play first base for the first time in his life, he didn’t flinch. “When I was asked to play first base, I was surprised,” Wormsley says. “But I saw it as an opportunity to play and work hard. The biggest challenge is the different angles (from what you see at second base or shortstop) and knowing the situational stuff, knowing what to do on every play.” As of my deadline last Wednesday, Wormsley’s stats for the season are a .311 batting average in 45 at-bats, with five

runs, 14 hits, four RBI and a .426 on-base percentage. He also pitched in high school, was a quarterback on the football team and played basketball through the 8th grade. But, he says baseball is his first love. He says he was all the time throwing up a ball and hitting it, retrieving it and hitting it again, by himself. He watched his brother Jordan play SEC baseball at Vanderbilt. And he calls his first season with the Diamond Vols “a great experience.” “We’ve had our ups and downs, both myself and the team, but we’re working hard. The SEC is the best conference in the nation and it’s a blessing and a privilege to play with this team, for this coaching staff and in my hometown.”

He has three favorite memories he’ll forever remember from his freshman year. “Beating Kentucky when they were going for the unbeaten streak record on a Friday night in front of a good crowd. And beating Florida and South Carolina, which were the last two teams standing last year.” Other than learning first base, he says his biggest challenge has been getting used to a longer season. “I’m not a big guy (5-11, 165 pounds) and the grind of the season wears down your body. So, I’m working hard to stay strong and healthy.” He says the team’s goal is to get to Hoover, Ala., and play in the SEC Tournament, something the Vols have not done since 2007. He says playing for first-year coach Dave Serrano has been great. “I knew when I signed they might possibly be having a coaching change, but that wasn’t a big deal and didn’t factor into my decision. But coming here and playing for one of the best coaching staffs in the nation. … (Serrano) is doing it the right way and wants us to do it the right way, whether that’s in academics or on the field.” He says he wants to be “the best teammate I can be and work hard for myself and my teammates.” Well, just look at that switch to first base. Take this to the bank: Parker Wormsley will do whatever it takes. ■

‘JD’ and feathers at County Commission

By now, you may have heard about “John Denver” and feathers at County Commission last Monday. Well, here’s my two cents about it, and trust me, it is worth much less than that: I’ve always thought the best way to make an important point is in a lighthearted, entertaining, satirical kind of way. Case in point: bigotry, Archie Bunker and “All in the Family.” Plus, life is just too darn short to take yourself too seriously. Visit Jake Mabe online at jakemabe.blogspot. com.

A signed 45 RPM single of “Are You Lonesome Tonight” and a photo of Janet Testerman Crossley, Elvis Presley and Kyle Testerman before Elvis’s second Knoxville concert on March 15, 1974, at Stokely Athletic Center.

The April 9, 1972, front page of the Knoxville News Sentinel, autographed by Elvis to Janet. The story was written by Jan Maxwell (Avent).

PULL UP A CHAIR … | Jake Mabe

The day Knoxville’s first lady met The King Editor’s Note: This story is a follow up to Jake Mabe’s April 2 story on Elvis Presley’s first concert appearance in Knoxville. She calls it a whirlwind, the day Knoxville’s former First Lady met The King. Forty years ago this month, on April 8, 1972, Janet Testerman Crossley, then the wife of Kyle Testerman, Knoxville’s city mayor at the time, was waiting at the bottom of an airplane’s steps at McGhee-Tyson Airport to put a Dogwood Arts Festival pin on Elvis Aron Presley. It was something of a coup, Crossley says, that she was there at all. She gives the credit to former city of Knoxville safety director Duane Aussetts, who worked with Elvis’ legendary manager, Col. Tom Parker, to make sure the Testermans met The King. Down Elvis came, wearing his trademark Superfly sunglasses and a wine-colored suede leather knee-length coat with matching pants. “He was very friendly,” Crossley says, “just exactly

what you thought he was. He was very dynamic and spoke to everybody. I’d have taken him right home! I couldn’t believe we could meet him.” Few did. In a front page story in the following day’s Knoxville News Sentinel, writer Jan Maxwell (Avent) wrote that fans were not allowed past the airport gate. Elvis told Maxwell he would never pose for a magazine centerfold, adding “Burt Reynolds has a lot of guts.” (A woman identified as “Mrs. Jack Cupp” got a kiss from Elvis at the airport and told Maxwell she’d never wash her face again.) News Sentinel photographer Dave Carter captured Crossley putting the Dogwood Arts Festival pin on Elvis’s lapel. She has the photo framed and displayed in her home, along with photos of her with other celebrities of the period, as well as a copy of the Page One News Sentinel story, which Elvis later autographed. Elvis was in town that day as the headline entertainer for the Festival, performing matinee and evening perfor-

Looking back on her political life, Crossley says she grew to love it. “You meet people you’d never otherwise meet and we had supporters that gave their all and were so sincere.” But of all the highlights, and of all the people she met (including Nancy Reagan and President Gerald R. Ford), Crossley says the day she met The King tops it all. “It really was the highlight of my political life. I still have the dress I wore.” Visit Jake Mabe online at jakemabe. blogspot.com.

‘Here’s to Tyler’ she and her recruiting coordinator, Mickie DeMoss, were up in Pennsylvania wooing prize point guard Michelle Marciniak when Pat went into labor right there in the Marciniaks’s living room. She and DeMoss wrapped up the visit, hustled back to their plane and booked it for Tennessee as the contractions came closer and harder. Somewhere over Virginia, the pilot decided it was time to land. Like that was going to happen. Pat Summitt’s baby was going to be born in Tennessee. She gritted her teeth all the way to Knoxville and the day after he was born she and her husband, R.B., held a press conference to introduce him. There was a basketball on her hospital bed next to him. The following April, the Tennessee women beat the Virginia women for that 1991 championship. A few weeks later Tyler was there when the team went to Nashville to be honored by Gov. Ned McWherter and the General Assembly – a tiny tyke with fringe of ginger hair and an orange pacifier who was being passed around by a bunch of tall, well-toned surrogate moms. When he got a little older, he’d pick a player to be his special “girlfriend” every season. Tiffani Johnson, Kellie Jolly, Chamique Holdsclaw, Michelle Snow – the boy had eclectic tastes. I got to know him in the fall of 1997, and started asking him for his pre-game predictions and keys to every home game. He always gave the question solemn consideration before forecasting a Tennessee victory. He was pretty prophetic, since that was the year the Holdsclaw/ Catchings/Randall-led team went 39-0. And he was for sure his mother’s son – his keys were always rebounding and boxing out. He was impeccably polite and incredibly cute, a natural-born charmer. Often as not, other kids would spot him sitting courtside after a game and start lining up for autographs. He’d whip out a

Tennessee coach Pat Summitt appears at a news conference with her son, Tyler, on April 19. Summitt, who has more wins than any other college basketball coach, announced she is stepping down after 38 seasons due to early-onset dementia. Summitt is now the head coach emeritus and former assistant Holly Warlick is the head coach. AP Photo/Wade Payne Sharpie and oblige every one of them. The following year, the Meek era ended with a dreadful, dreary disappointment in the Elite Eight in Greensboro where Duke ground out a victory and denied the Tennessee seniors an unprecedented four-peat. They were inconsolable, but Tyler tried his best, hugging Holdsclaw on the sidelines as she sobbed. The next year or so, he made a couple of news stories in Rustin, La., when he decided he had heard enough from some Louisiana Tech fans who were heckling his mom. Somebody stopped him before he could climb up into the bleachers, but he was ready to open a can of Tennessee Whupass on a bunch of adults. The years rolled by and Tyler helped his mom cut down the nets five more times after that first one that he was too young to manage. Fans watched him grow and counted him as one of their own. Bruce Pearl allowed him to walk onto the men’s team, and his teammates celebrated when he hit his first 3-pointer.

“Attitude lies somewhere between emotion and logic. It’s that curious mix of optimism and determination that enables you to maintain a positive outlook and to continue plodding in the face of the most adverse circumstances.” – Pat Summitt

We Back Pat!

He was at her side when his mother announced the terrible news that she has early onset Alzheimer’s disease, and he was with her when she stepped down at the end of the season. He says that Pat is doing splendidly and that he would not have accepted the job at Marquette if he were needed here. And we believe him.

One milestone that Tyler missed was Pat’s 1,000th victory. It was 2009, and Tyler was playing point guard for Webb. He had a game that night. She addressed his absence in the postgame press conference (as quoted by USA Today), and made it clear that he was always with her, no matter what: “One last thing – can you

He said, ‘Mom, I want to be there.’ I said, ‘Son, you never miss a practice, and you never miss a game.’ I hope they won. “Tyler Summitt has taught me more than I have ever taught anyone. I love him to the bottom of my heart. Here’s to Tyler.”

THE

By Betty Bean When Pat Summitt was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2000 (a year before Mike Krzyzewski made it), her 9-year-old son, Tyler, escorted her to the stage, rocking a tuxedo and a deep-dimpled, nonstop grin that got bigger when his mama called him her biggest triumph and her good luck charm. At the time, she had six national championship rings. She got her third one the spring after Tyler was born. Twelve years later, Tyler Summitt, who will get his degree, with honors, in May after only three years at UT, landed his fi rst college coaching job the day his mother stepped down from hers. At 21, he will surely be one of the youngest assistant coaches in the country when he will become an assistant women’s basketball coach at Marquette. His mother was 22 when she became head coach at Tennessee. His story and hers have been intertwined from the beginning. When he was 6 months old, Tennessee won the 1991 championship by beating Virginia (which was led by All-American point guard Dawn Staley) in the first women’s NCAA overtime championship game. It was nip and tuck at halftime, and somebody handed baby Tyler down to Tennessee’s star center Daedra “Night Train” Charles so she could plant a kiss on his noggin, something she’d done before every game, but had missed before this one. Some people thought that kiss sealed the deal. And it was sweet solace, since the Cavaliers had knocked Tennessee out of a chance to play in the 1990 Final Four, a particularly galling event, because the tournament was held in Knoxville. Repeat: The 1990 Final Four was in ThompsonBoling Arena and Tennessee wasn’t in it. Pat Summitt was three months pregnant that spring, and six months later,

Edwards of TEPHOTOS.com

Young’uns in musical ‘Oklahoma’ By Theresa Edwards Musical director Caryn Marlowe and choreographer Nicole Jackson customized “Oklahoma” perfectly to include young’uns with the Karns High School students’ performances. “It added a wonderful spirit to the show,” said Marlowe. “I wanted to put children in the musical to give the real feel of community and people of all ages,” she said. “We do our best with makeup to make kids look older, but we can’t shrink them to look like kids. The youngsters in the show included Caryn’s children Iris, 2, and Lucy, 4; Jackson’s son Tyson, 6; and homeschooled siblings Allie Lambert, 9, and Kyler Lambert, 10. Once Jackson began the choreography for “Kansas City,” Marlowe knew she wanted to put the little boys in the number. She heard them sing previously and knew they had nice singing voices, were well-behaved and easy to work with.

Then she decided it would be good to have two little girls in “Many a New Day.” Says Marlowe, “I knew the ballet the girls were doing would be too hard, and Nicole created moves for Iris and Allie that fit perfectly. Iris loved going to ‘dance rehearsal.’ This was her first experience dancing, though she has been singing since she was 14 months old. My husband, Phil, and I are both opera singers, but it still was a pleasant surprise when she was picking up music at 14 months and pretending to sing it.” “A big part of this is my wonderful students. They are so good with her (Iris), playing and coloring with her backstage,” said Marlowe. “Iris talks about my students all the time like they are her classmates and the people she regularly hangs out with. She is always sad when the seniors graduate and go off to college.” The musical was also performed at Karns Elementary and Karns Middle schools. This was very successful, ac-

cording to Marlowe, inspiring enthusiasm with incoming students for the choral program at KHS. Next year’s show is still to be announced, but Marlowe said, “You can expect a big dancing show and for us to work even harder and raise the bar. The kids are on fire and so excited to work hard – maybe ‘West Side Story.’ We shall see.”

In the past, many people stayed at one job, or at least one company, for almost their entire working lives. When they retired, they could typically count on a pension, the value of which was based on their years of service and earnings. But today, workers can expect to Wendy hold several different jobs in their lifetime, Schopp and to a great extent, pensions have been replaced by 401(k) plans, which place much of the funding responsibility on employees. So, assuming you will change jobs at some point, and you do have a 401(k), what should you do with it? Here are your basic choices: ■ Cash out your plan. If you cash out your plan, your company will likely pay you 80% of your account value, withholding the rest for federal taxes. And if you’re younger than age 59½, you may well be slapped with a 10% IRS tax penalty. Even worse, you’ll have lost a key source of your retirement income. Still, if you are leaving your employer involuntarily, and you need the money, cashing out your 401(k) is an option you may need to consider. ■ Keep the money in your company’s plan. When you leave a company, your employer may allow you to keep your money in your existing 401(k). You may want to choose this route if you like the investment choices available in your plan. However, you might be caught by surprise if the company decides to change investment options. Furthermore, some employers may charge

former employees fees to maintain their 401(k) plans. ■ Move the money into your new employer’s plan. If your new employer has a 401(k) and allows transfers, you could roll the money from your old plan into the new one. This might be an attractive option if you like the investment options in your new employer’s plan. ■ Roll the money over to an IRA. You may find several advantages to rolling your 401(k) over to an Individual Retirement Account (IRA). First, your money will still have the potential to grow on a tax-deferred basis. Second, you can invest your funds in virtually any investment you choose – stocks, bonds, government securities, certificates of deposit (CDs), etc. Third, if you own more than one 401(k) account, you could find it advantageous to consolidate them into a single IRA, thereby making it easier to allocate and monitor your retirement assets. And fourth, IRAs may give you greater flexibility if you plan to pass money to your children. In fact, if your child inherits your IRA, he or she has the option of stretching withdrawals over the child’s entire lifetime, rather than taking the money as a lump sum. (If you do transfer funds from your old 401(k) to an IRA, be sure to use a “direct rollover” to avoid the possibility of triggering unwanted taxes.) Before making any moves with your 401(k), consult with your tax and financial advisors. By looking closely at your options, and by getting professional guidance, you can make the choice that’s right for you. For more information on investing, contact Wendy Schopp at Edward Jones Investments, 671-1318.

Good food galore as Food City execs host media By Sandra Clark

Shop locally. www.TheDistrictInBearden.com facebook.com/TheDistrictInBearden

Steven Smith is proud of his dad, K-VA-T Food City founder Jack Smith, but when he comes to Knoxville he always makes a joke about another fellow he’s quite fond of. That’s Emerson Breeden, who marked his 60th year with Food City and its predecessor White Stores this month. “Emerson worked for White Stores when we acquired the chain in 1990. We b o u g h t Emerson and they threw in the stores,” said Smith. with Jimmy “J.J.” Jones And Breeden celebrating his 60th anniversary while looking not a day over 65, “They must have violated every labor law on the books when they hired him.” At a table in the back, Emerson Breeden just grinned. The Bearden guy is proud to have begun work as a White Stores bag boy. He’s proud of a career that ranged from cashier to store manager to the regional office. He especially likes his current job of coordinating special projects and helping nonprofits raise money. Emerson gets a double hug every time he meets the twins from Love Kitchen. He’s given them a lot of food. Food City hosted local media last week. Lunch was prepared by Food City’s own chef, Jimmy “J.J.” Jones (not the sheriff), who prepared roast beef, pork medallions and crunchy chicken fingers with all the fixings at the store in Bearden.

Food City president and CEO Steven C. Smith with Emerson Breeden. Photos by S. Clark Service was by Food City personnel, including deli/ bakery managers and Jones himself. Dessert was a deli cake and some wonderful apple cobbler, accompanied by a scoop of Kay’s Vanilla Bean ice cream. Food City is proud of its legacy brands, having acquired the recipes and naming rights for Kerns and Kay’s (both No. 1 in their category at Food City) and Terry’s Chips and Lay’s Meats (both No. 2 in their category). These well-known East Tennessee brands are available only at Food City stores. Smith quickly updated reporters: Food City posted $2.1 billion in sales last year. The company is privately owned with significant employee ownership through an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). The company operates 104 stores, 76 pharmacies and 72 fuel stations. At stores where there is not enough space to install gasoline pumps, they are looking off-site. “We just opened our first Food City Express.

Don’t tell the Haslams,” said Smith. Food City has pumped $14 million into area schools through the School Bucks promotion. Last year the company raised $142,000 for charity through a vendor golf tournament. Smith expects to double that this year. The company raised $125,000 for paralyzed veterans through a promotion with Richard Petty. Food City supports local growers with $1 of every $5 in the produce departments coming from local farmers. “It takes extra work, but we do it to support the rich heritage of farming in East Tennessee, Kentucky and Virginia.” Food City opened five new or replacement stores in 2011, but spent most capital investment on 7 expansions with more planned for 2012 including a remodeling project at the Bearden store. Steve Smith paused as the company’s mission statement flashed on the PowerPoint. It was written by his dad who started with a single Piggly Wiggly: “To run the best store in town.”

Celebrating a silver anniversary is definitely reason enough for PutJason Day tickled the ivories, courtesy of Bill Jones Music, during the evening. The inflated logo tin’ on the Ritz, and that’s what the Farragut West Knox Chamber of illustrates the reason for the celebration. Commerce did recently at Rothchild Catering. Enjoying a night out are Rene Amerson, Gabby Valentine and Debby Hobbs.

Chamber ‘Puts on the Ritz’ By Suzanne Foree Neal It was a night of fun for a good cause and to mark 25 years of accomplishments by the Farragut West Knox Chamber. Rothchild Catering was aglow in lights dripping from the ceiling, elegantly draped chairs and tables, beautiful tablescapes, all fitting of the night’s theme, “Puttin’ on the Ritz.� The items for the silent and live auction were pretty ritzy, too. Farragut Mayor Ralph McGill and his wife, Marianne, check Organizers raised $3,635 out some silent auction deals in the category of food and from the live auction, plus wine. Photos by S.F. Neal $5,580 from the tablescapes.

Farragut Alderman Bob Markli, second from right, enjoys a laugh with Bill Jones. At left are Todd Rhoads and Denise Markli.

On Monday, chamber president Bettye Sisco said they were still counting up the money raised from the silent auction and ticket sales. STAR, the Shangri-la Therapeutic Academy of Riding, will benefit from a portion of the proceeds and the Chamber will also fund educational grants. Lynn Klimas Petr, STAR’s founder and executive director, said her venture also is marking its 25th year. The Lenoir City program uses horses as a therapeutic resource for disabled children and adults. “What they do for children and young adults is just amazing,� Sisco said. She thanked students from Hardin Valley Academy who helped during Bear Stephenson’s live auction and Farragut High students who provided graphics for the tables. Sisco recounted when former Mayor Bob Leonard said, “Let’s start a chamber.� Sisco said it had been fun looking back through the records. Jan Johnson was the first director. She

was also the town’s first public relations spokeswoman and did both jobs at once. The chamber itself has taken a meandering trip through town before setting in its present location at 11826 Kingston Pike. Chairs for the event were Michelle Carr and Diane Jones of Pinnacle Financial and Sisco. “The chamber started with 139 members and built a business, because the chamber is a business,� Sisco said. “There are 220 businesses represented here tonight. Suzie Meacham, a florist, was one of the early members and she brought me something several years ago.� Sisco held up a framed advertisement for a circus that was sponsored by several businesses. The chamber also helped bring it to town. It was a small circus and the event was held on Horne Properties land. Sisco noted that the seats were hard, but everyone still had fun. The chamber’s come a long way from its humble beginnings.

Tablescapes were designed around notable events of the past 25 years, but 2012 was bittersweet. “We Back Pat� was decorated by Independent Insurance Consultants and included a fountain running orange topped with an autographed Pat Summitt basketball.

Chamber president Bettye Sisco is joined by artist Alex Dumas, who donated a painting for the auction.

NEWS FROM ATTORNEY REBECCA BELL JENKINS

Rebecca Bell Jenkins: Family law advocate T

he practice of family law has become increasingly important to our everyday lives as more and more families are faced with the realities of divorce and post divorce issues, including matters of spousal support, child support and parenting plan issues. Family law is not limited to divorce issues, but it also includes custody and child support issues for those persons who never married, but who have children together, and those matters are addressed through the Juvenile Court system. Juvenile Court is also the court in which issues regarding the well being of children are brought even when there is no divorce. Family law focuses on practically any area of the law that concerns persons and their family relationships. Legal separations and adoptions are family law issues as well. None of us is trained to handle these matters, and so we look to local attorney

Rebecca Bell Jenkins, a skilled legal practitioner with a focus on family law. Bell Jenkins reminds us that even after a divorce becomes final it is not at all uncommon for persons to return to court. Sometimes court mandated spousal support or child support is not paid in a timely manner or at all. Parenting plans may not be followed by one of the parents or there may be “substantial and material change of circumstances” and one or both parents may seek to modify the parenting plan. “Post divorce issues often come up,” Bell Jenkins says. These are all matters that Bell Jenkins, who has offices in both West Knoxville and Powell and has been licensed to practice law since 1995, deals with on a daily basis. She says family law deals with personal issues over which people usually become extremely emotional.

“In our practice we know that it is extremely important to really listen to our clients. For each client in our office, their case is the most important one in the world. We know this, and we pride ourselves on listening carefully and also on making certain that they understand every aspect of their case and how it will be handled. This is the most productive way to have the desired legal outcome.” In addition to her legal experience, Bell Jenkins is also a Rule 31 Listed Family Law Mediator. This means that she can serve as an independent third party in a discussion between the two parties and their attorneys as they attempt to work out their differences without going to court. “In mediation we try to help the parties craft their own agreement instead of having … a lengthy trial that ends with a judge issuing a ruling that neither party is happy with,” she explains. Bell Jenkins can be reached through a central telephone number – 691-2211 – that serves both the West Knoxville office in Franklin Square and the new Powell satellite office.

News from Rural/Metro

Preventing drug abuse By Rob Webb With nearly 40,000 drugrelated deaths nationally each year, keeping Knox County students sober, dr ug-f ree and safe is a priority. As emer ge nc y responders, we see the Webb negative impact this problem has on the health and well-being of our students and their families. Whether it’s an overdose or an injury caused by impaired judgment, we know the reallife consequences of teen drug-use. In response to this growing problem, Rural/Metro has partnered with the Knoxville Metropolitan Drug Commission to encourage parents to take a proactive stance when it comes to teen drug-use. Ru-

ral/Metro recently donated 350 First Check drug test kits to the Metropolitan Drug Commission for distribution to parents of local teens. This initiative provides parents with another tool in the home to combat teen drug-use. Some may think home drug testing is an extreme response. Recent data, however, confirm teen drug-use as a serious issue here. According to the 2011 Knox County Schools Youth Risk Behavior survey which came out earlier this year, more than 20 percent of high school students surveyed admitted to smoking marijuana in the last 30 days. Of these drug-users, only 5 percent had used drugs on school property. This means the majority of actual druguse is taking place outside the walls of the school building. Having a drug test in the home can help kids avoid peer pressure situations by em-

powering them to say ‘I can’t, my parents might drug test me.’ In the last 12 months, 29 percent of students reported they had been offered drugs on school property. Educating yourselves about the issue and talking to your kids about drugs is only the first step. Rural/Metro urges parents to ask questions, set consistent boundaries and make sure your kids know the consequences of drug-use. The most important thing you can do to keep your teen drugfree is to stay involved in the life of your teen and be a good role model.

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM PARKWEST, WEST KNOXVILLE’S HEALTHCARE LEADER • TREATEDWELL.COM • 374-PARK

Shingles: No pain compares Five years ago, Susie Nelson, a neonatal nurse, had worked a 12hour shift and was tired. She attributed the pain in her hip and right buttocks that radiated down her leg to being on her feet all day. “I thought I had sciatic nerve pain,” said Nelson. Within a few days the pain worsened enough that over-thecounter medications wouldn’t provide relief, so she consulted her doctor. The doctor agreed with Nelson’s theory that her sciatic nerve was aggravated and prescribed an anti-inflammatory medication and stretching exercises. Sciatica is pain, tingling or numbness produced by an irritation of the nerve roots that lead to the sciatic nerve. The sciatic nerve is formed by the nerve roots coming out of the spinal cord into the lower back. It goes down through the buttock, then its branches extend down the back of the leg to the ankle and foot, all of which mimicked what Nelson was experiencing. “We were both wrong,” Nelson said. “That was on a Friday and by Sunday, I couldn’t lift my leg to do the exercises. The pain turned from a dull, hard burn into a spot on my right cheek that felt like a burning hot poker was on my skin. In my leg, I couldn’t feel anything but pain.” Back to the doctor she went. Nelson’s skin was not broken out in the common telltale rash, but when the doctor saw a single, nickel-sized, abraded spot on Nelson’s buttocks, she knew shingles was the source of Nelson’s pain. “I took the anti-viral medication immediately, but it was too far along to do any good,” Nelson

lamented. “You could see a thin, bright red line down my leg and all along the parts of my body where nerves run. Then the blisters came. I was so hypersensitive that I couldn’t stand anything near me. Even air passing over my foot was excruciating.” “I’m tough,” Nelson declared. “I have been in bone marrow testing, had an epidural slip out during childbirth and tolerated the use of high forceps, but nothing – I mean nothing – compares to the pain of shingles. The best way I can describe it is electric shock, like a high-voltage electric cable shooting out sparks.” Today, she remembers how agonizing it was to take a shower during the height of being affected by shingles. “I would roll up a washcloth, put it between my teeth and bite down,” she said. “I sobbed when the water hit me, and I dreaded the touch of the towel.” The pain led her to Dr. Jeff Boruff, an internal medicine doctor at Parkwest. “Dr. Jeff understood. He said to me, ‘Susie, there’s no pain in the world like nerve pain,’ and he was right,” she said. Boruff concluded that Nelson’s was one of the most severe cases he had ever seen and subsequently referred her to a neurologist. “I had neuropathy which affected my L4 and L5 spinal nerves,” Nelson said. “My right foot dropped when I took a step. I would put the ball of my foot down, and then my heel would clop behind it. I couldn’t walk heel-to-toe with a normal gait.” Physical therapy was needed, but it was initially too painful to attempt. The neurologist pre-

foot in a bowl of rice and scrunch her toes. “Remember, I couldn’t stand air moving on my foot, so you can imagine that the rice was agony,” Nelson said. Nevertheless, Nelson persevered through the rice-scrunching exercises and several other exercises with tears streaming down her face. Nelson’s inability to work because of the pain eventually also cost her her job. “Shingles was very expensive financially, physically and emotionally,” she said. “In retrospect, I think that having a compromised immune system because of having had cancer and going through a stressful time may have made me more susceptible to it. I also know that getting the shingles vaccine costs several hundred dollars, but I promise you, it’s nothing compared to what you go through.”

When the shingles virus was active, Susie Nelson said that a red outline appeared on her foot and other body parts as clearly as if someone had taken a marker and defined nerve systems in an anatomical textbook. scribed lidocaine patches, 12 hours on, 12 hours off. “Lidocaine saved my sanity. After weeks of misery, the patches were blessed relief,” Nelson said. “There was never a point that I didn’t hurt, but with the patches, my pain subsided to a dull roar.” The physical therapy was tax- Nelson described the pain from shingles as feeling like a high-voltage ing. One of the tasks was to put her electric shock.

The herpes zoster virus life cycle

■ In the beginning: The varicella zoster virus causes chicken pox. Symptoms include fever and itchy spots or blisters all over the body. Chicken pox is usually mild and runs its course in fewer than 10 days. ■ Years later: The virus reactivates and multiples, travelling through nerves to the skin’s surface where it causes pain, numb-

Every year, about one million American adults are affected by shingles and its painful complication, called post herpetic neuralgia, resulting from reactivation of the chicken pox virus. Shown here during one of its early stages, shingles (herpes zoster) is a painful, blistering skin rash.

■ 3-5 days later: The bumps become fluid-filled blisters that mimic chicken pox. Pain and itching escalate. ■ 2-3 weeks later: The blisters fill with pus, break open and crust over. Discomfort continues. ■ 4-5 weeks later: The crusts fall off and pain and itching subsides.

Q&A

Boruff said. “If the virus affects the nerves that control movement, you may have temporary or permanent weakness or paralysis.” “The best way to deal with shingles is prevention: get the vaccine,” Boruff advised. “However, if you do get shingles, an anti-viral medicine may be prescribed. The medication works better the sooner you get it, and should be started within 24 hours of feeling pain or burning. The drug helps reduce pain and complications and shorten the course of the disease.” Strong anti-inflammatory medicines may also be used to reduce swelling and the risk of continued pain.

What is shingles? Shingles is caused by the varicella zoster virus that causes chicken pox, then lies inactive in nerve tissue near your spinal cord and brain, sometimes for many years. Varicella zoster is part of a group of viruses which includes the viruses that cause cold sores and genital herpes. Because of this, shingles is also known as herpes zoster. But the virus that causes chicken pox and shingles is not the same virus responsible for cold sores or genital herpes, a sexually transmitted infection. Who gets it? Anyone who has ever had chicken pox can develop shingles. Risk factors rise with: ■ Age. Shingles is most common in people older than 50. Some experts estimate that half the people who live to the age of 85 will experience shingles. ■ Diseases. Diseases that weaken your immune system, such as HIV/AIDS and cancer, can increase your risk of shingles. ■ Cancer treatments. Undergoing radiation or chemotherapy can lower your resistance to diseases and may trigger shingles. ■ Medications. Drugs designed to prevent rejection of transplanted organs can increase your risk of shingles – as can prolonged use of steroids, such as prednisone. Can’t you just get a shot for that? The good news is that a safe, one-shot vaccine is available that greatly reduces the risk of shingles. It is recommended for everyone age 50 or older who does not have a compromised immune system. Because the virus may recur, physicians suggest that you be vaccinated even if you have already had shingles. They do recommend waiting for up to a year after the shingles episode to get the vaccine. The not-so-good news is that a very small percentage of those eligible have received the vaccine. Perhaps the reason is that, at an average of $175 per dose, the shingles vaccine is 10 times more costly than other commonly prescribed adult vaccines, and insurance coverage varies greatly.

The straight on shingles “Most people always carry chicken pox virus,” said Parkwest physician Dr. Jeff Boruff. “It’s no problem when it is dormant, but when the virus is reactivated, it travels along nerve pathways to your skin, producing shingles.” Boruff said most people who have shingles report a very painful rash, but some also experience fever and chills, general achiness, headache and fatigue. “In and of itself, shingles is not life-threatening, but it can range from making you very uncomfortable to serious complications like threatening your vision, if the area around your eye is affected,”

ness, burning and tingling known as shingles. The pain and burning may be severe and is often present before a rash appears. ■ 2-3 days later: Small, itchy bumps appear under the skin usually along a narrow area from the spine around to the front of the belly area or chest. Less commonly the rash may involve face, eyes, mouth and ears.

Christopher W. Pollock, MD, of Premier at Parkwest (a Division of Premier Surgical Associates) presented aneurysm information at the Strang Senior Center. He specializes in vascular and endovascular surgery. The most common type of aneurysm is the abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), a ballooning of the abdominal aorta. Although these occur mostly in people 65 to 75 years old, they can appear in others as well. They are more common in men than women. Pollock recommends screening at age 60 to 65 years for AAA since early detection can save a life when surgery is necessary to prevent rupture. Individuals at high risk, including smokers, people with high blood pressure and family history of AAA, may be screened with an ultrasound. If an aneurysm is found, there are no medications or treatments to prevent its growth. The risk comes with its growth, especially if it is at a rapid rate. When detected, it depends on the size as to whether surgery is recommended. The risk of rupture increases with the size of the aneurysm. “Every individual must

be looked at case-by-case. We look at medical conditions, what all is going on, in determining whether to perform the surgery or not,” said Pollock. “If the pain is unusual, severe, unremitting back or abdominal pain, go to the emergency room for immediate attention when an aneurysm may be about to rupture,” Pollock said. There are two types of surgical procedures for AAA: open and endovascular. With open surgery, the abdomen is opened and a replacement section of artery is stitched in place. Endovascular surgery involves the feeding of a replacement section through the patient’s artery, replacing it from inside.

Moms are

May is Arthritis Awareness Month Are Your Foods Causing Your Aches & Pains? Thursday May 10, noon Wednesday May 23, 5:30 p.m. So, why is it that inflammation is such a common problem these days? Well, there are several things that contribute to chronic inflammation. Being overweight, being sedentary, smoking, being stressed, not getting enough sleep … any of this sounding familiar? All of these things can contribute to low-level inflammation which speeds up the aging process and increases your risk of many diseases. But what you eat is also a huge factor, and can either make chronic inflammation worse or help fight it. This class will provide you with steps to relieve your aches & pains. Celiac Week May 13-19 Monday May 14, 5:30 p.m. Food Allergies: Our Registered Dietitians will discuss the difference between food allergies and intolerances and will cover the top 6 common allergies with special focus on gluten intolerance and wheat allergies. Weight Management: The Last First Step Wednesday, May 16, noon Are you confused by the ever changing mounds of “diet” and nutrition information? Have you hit a plateau? Are you working out regularly and not seeing results? Take a deep breath and relax. You have found the solution. This class teaches you the science behind why what you eat may be preventing you from reaching your goals despite trying to do the right thing. Healthy Eating Series; “Sugar Belly: A Moment on the Lips….” Thursday May 17, noon Monday May 21, 5:30 p.m. This class will teach you that sugar is sugar no matter where it comes from and will help you understand why sugar leads to belly fat.

By Sandra Clark When Mother’s Day rolls around on May 13, children of all ages will celebrate their mother’s role in their life – often with a gift. Moms themselves will be busy thinking about lunch and dinner, laundry, summer camps and maybe even college for their kids. Mothers, it seems, put others first. Provision Health & Wellness is a place where mothers come first. And, to celebrate Mother’s Day, Provision is offering special pricing through May 31 on a 3-session package. “Busy mothers sometimes feel that they can’t make time to work out or get a relaxing massage,” said Chief Dietitian Casey Peer. “But in order to be the best mom I can be, I must take care of myself.” The 3-session package includes any combination of sessions with a nutritionist, a personal trainer or a massage therapist. “Maybe you feel like your family could eat better. Let the dietitian help you design meals. You can learn from a personal trainer how to integrate fitness with family activities. “For some, the gym is an escape. But you can also use your own home or your neighborhood to increase your fitness. “Whether giving or receiving, the gift of health is a long-lasting benefit for moms and their families,” said Peer. Juli Urevick, who teaches classes and handles marketing for Provision, said when her four boys were young she would literally walk around her house for exercise. “I’d put two of them down for a nap, grab the baby monitor and walk outside. I’d put on a tape and dance with the kids. “Exercise is a great way to relieve stress.” Casey has two kids who enjoy time with her. “How to fit exercise in? First, you have to decide it’s a priority. Put it on your calendar. Make it an appointment with yourself.

“If you can’t schedule exercise alone, then make it a family time,” said Casey. “Take your child to the backyard and throw a ball. Ride bikes together. A personal trainer can help you plan activities. “Look at meals the same way. Include your kids in planning. There’s a great website where kids can search for meals to prepare. It comes down to improving your life.” Juli says adult children can come to Provision with their mom, for both the nutrition session or to meet with the personal trainer. Make it a family adventure. “Even as a grandmother, you want to be as active as you can be. The earlier you become active, the longer you can stay active,” says Juli. “If your mom is perfectly fabulous, tweak that,” says Casey. “Moms try to get better for the people we’re helping. We’ve got to be selfish – not in a mean or hateful way, but by thinking about ways to make ourselves a better spouse, partner, worker or parent.”
