During an 8,000-mile motorcycle trip, “Carry the Flame Across America” visited Knoxville on their journey to Washington, D.C. They participated in a special event at Knoxville Harley-Davidson West on Lovell Road, where Gold Star Mothers and Blue Star Mothers and their families were given special honor and recognition. Gold Star Mothers have a son or daughter who has died while serving in the military. Blue Star Mothers have a child currently deployed. Carry the Flame provides financial and educational support for military families including children affected by their parents’ deployment, disability or loss while serving in the armed forces. The program included the presenting of the colors by the Volunteer State Veterans Honor Guard, singing of the national anthem by Cheyenne Baughman, Pledge of Allegiance by all and posting of the colors. A special flag folding ceremony was accompanied by the explanation of what each fold represents, followed by the presentation of two folded flags to Gold Star Mothers president Sherrie McGhee and Blue Star Mothers president Rhonda Milliam. The missing man ceremony was presented by Theresa Gray of Rolling Thunder and the Honor Guard. She explained how the empty chair draped with the POW/MIA flag represents the missing person, who is not home with family. Founder King Cavalier II said, “Carry the Flame for me is very much paying it forward (as Col. Grover Wilson explained earlier).” He emphasized the importance of caring for the families of veterans, who also serve in sacrifice. “This torch started on the reservation in Tuba City, Ariz., when

the war was young,” explained Cavalier. “When Lori Piestewa was killed in 2003, three of us took the torch from Modesto, Calif., to Tuba City, Ariz., and lit it for Lori Piestewa. Lori was captured with Jessica Lynch. She was the first Native American woman lost in combat. She is the first woman lost in captivity,” said Cavalier. He told of how Piestewa’s two children are being raised by her parents. “I got it then,” he said. “What’s happening in America is happening under the radar.” Names of the fallen were read by Rolling Thunder Chapter 3, fol-

The ceremony ended with the passing of the flame outside where participants offered their thoughts and prayers in remembrance of veterans.

Elmore and McCurry are teachers of the year By Theresa Edwards The Knoxville Rotary Club presented “Outstanding Teacher of the Year” awards to Linda Elmore, 4th grade teacher at Karns Elementary, and Matthew McCurry, band director and technology coordinator at Carter High School, nominated by their principals Darlene Miller and Cheryl Hickman, respectively. “This year the voting was very close among the top group of nominees,” said Bill Hurt, chair of the Rotary Club of Knoxville’s Education Recognition Committee. “The most rewarding part of our process was in reading what the teachers wrote about their own teaching philosophies and accomplishments. You get a sense of how dedicated and inspiring they are in the classroom.” Miller tells about Elmore “because she won’t toot her own horn at all.” She continued, “You need to know how truly special she is. When you enter her classroom, you notice right away the energy in the room.

ever challenge she has set before them. Linda is always either in front of the class teaching or side-by-side with a student.” Miller describes Elmore as kind and compassionate, while holding her students to high expectations, supporting them to achieve those expectations. “She does it through a genuine love for the children and a desire to help them be the best students they can be,” said Miller. “She is an exceptional educator and very deserving of this honor. She consistently has the highest test scores in our school, but most importantly, the students leave her classroom well prepared for 5th grade and ultimately prepared for life, carrying those skills with them.” Elmore earned her bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education from the University of Tennessee in 1965. She taught 5th grade at Cedar Bluff Elementary for six years, 4-year-olds at Central Baptist Church of Bearden Preschool for 11 years, 3rd grade for one year at West Hills Elementary and has taught at Karns Elementary for the past 14 years.

lies. I enjoy observing my grandchildren grow spiritually, mentally and physically. This past Sunday, four of our college students were home and the Newby pew at the West End Church of Christ was full. That was the best Mother’s Day present!”

With whom, living or dead, would you most like to have a long lunch? “I think it would be delightful to have lunch with Barbara Bush. She is a lady who is a devoted wife, mother and grandmother yet still finds time to be of service to her country. Barbara Bush should be remembered as one of the most influential women in American history. I like that she does not hesitate to poke fun at herself.”

Bettye Newby

Bettye Newby, receptionist for the town of Farragut, is a happy person. She says she has “a dream job,” and she loves being in Farragut, especially since she has gathered her family here. Bettye and her late husband have three sons, who now all live in the Knoxville area. “When I retired from the University of Tennessee at Martin, we moved to East Tennessee,” says Bettye. “One son was already here and a second was in the process of moving here. The next year, the third moved here, so it is wonderful to be in Knoxville and have all my family in one place.” She has also spent a lot of time at Farragut High School graduations. “We have had six grandchildren go through the Farragut school system and have had five consecutive years of graduations, including this year,” says the proud grandmother. “We will get a two-year break now and then be back for No. 6.” Going to work for the town of Farragut was not something Bettye planned. “I came to Town Hall to renew my license plate and saw a sign advertising for a new receptionist. I applied and was lucky enough to be hired. That was 11 years ago, and the Town staff is now a second family for me.” Sit back and take a Coffee Break as you get to know Bettye Newby:

What is your favorite quote from television or a movie? “I actually have a favorite song. It is ‘Climb Every Mountain,’ from ‘The Sound of Music.’ ”

Other than your parents, who has had the biggest influence on your life and why? “My husband. I met him when I was 18 years old, and it was love at first sight. He was a really good man, and I was so honored that he chose me to be his wife. My husband helped me to feel confident, and he always made me feel so special. He also made me think I was capable of doing anything I wanted to do. When he knew he was ill, he helped me to become independent. He wanted to be sure I would be OK. Today I see some of his great qualities in our sons and grandchildren.”

I still can’t quite get the hang of ... “Playing video games.”

What is the best present you ever received in a box?

In her letter at the end of the book, the author closes with, ‘Never underestimate who’s looking at your life and how many people you influence.

“I invited several of my friends over for a ladies’ luncheon. As I was removing a Pyrex dish of twicebaked potatoes from the wall oven, the dish broke in two pieces and the potatoes were dumped on the floor. My friends were all standing around in the kitchen, so I just scooped up the potatoes and put them in the trash. Lucky for me I had prepared two pans, so they got a fourth of a potato each. I was teased for years for this blunder!” “I have been fortunate to have already traveled to three places on my dream list: Australia, England/Scotland and Alaska. So any other trips will just be a plus. Presently I am planning a trip with my friend Brenda to Idaho, Wyoming and Montana. It would be nice if time permits to make trips to the Holy Land, Switzerland/Austria and go on an African safari. I plan to always have a ‘to do’ list.”

“Friendly. I have been told that I have a nice smile. I hope people see me as a Christian, Southern lady.”

Happy Hour Special MONTH OF MAY

“During World War II, all goods were rationed. One Christmas there were two baby dolls in my hometown. They were at JCPenney in a glass case. I remember standing at the counter looking up at those two beautiful dolls with their little white dresses and bonnets. The clerk asked if I would like to hold one, and I nodded my head. As I was gently holding the doll, the clerk asked if I would like to have it. I told her that my mother said I needed a coat and could not have a doll that year. On Christmas morning, the doll was in a box under the Christmas tree. I did not take the doll out of the box for two days. I would lift the lid and just look at it.”

What was your favorite Saturday morning cartoon and why? “This is an embarrassing question because you will all know that I really am old! I did not have a TV in the home until a year after I had married. I do remember one of the earlier cartoons that my sons watched. It was ‘Popeye, the Sailor Man,’ and he liked to say, ‘I yam what I yam.’ I liked that because I like for people to be just what they are.”

What irritates you? “People who see the bad side of life and are not thankful for their blessings.”

What’s one place in Farragut everyone should visit? “Campbell Station Park. This is my favorite spot in Farragut. There is always activity there: People walking their dogs, children playing, the water running over the rocks, the flowers during the spring and summer, and the beautiful leaves in the fall.”

What is your greatest fear? “I am most concerned about the state of our country and what it will be for my grandchildren and generations to come. Throughout my life, I can see where the USA has been blessed by God, and I want my family to be able to grow up in a culture that embraces God and his teachings.”

If you could do one impulsive thing, what would it be? “I would escape to Orange Beach near Gulf Shores, Ala., to walk on the beach, sit in a beach chair, read, eat a lot of shrimp and stay until I was ready to come home.” It can be your neighbor, club leader, bridge partner, boss, father, teacher – anyone you think would be interesting to Farragut Shopper-News readers.

If you’re part of “Generation X” – the age cohort born between the mid-1960s and the early 1980s – you’re probably in one of the busiest phases of your life, as you’re well into your working years and, at the same time, busy raising a family. But just as you’re “multi-tasking” Wendy in your life, you’ll also need to address multiple Schopp ﬁnancial goals. In seeking to accomplish your key objectives, you may be asking yourself a variety of questions, including the following: ■ Should I contribute as much as possible to my IRA and 401(k)? In a word, yes. Your earnings on a traditional Individual Retirement Account (IRA) and a 401(k) grow on a tax-deferred basis, so your money can accumulate faster than it would if placed in an investment on which you paid taxes every year. Plus, since you typically make 401(k) contributions with pretax dollars, the more you contribute, the lower your taxable income. And your traditional IRA contributions may be tax-deductible, depending on your income. If you meet income guidelines, you can contribute to a Roth IRA, which provides tax-free earnings, provided you meet certain conditions. ■ Should I put away money for my kids’ college education? It’s not easy to fund your retirement accounts plus save money for your children’s college education. Still, college is expensive, so if you feel strongly about helping to pay for the high costs of higher education, you may want to explore college funding vehicles, such as a 529 plan, which offers tax advantages.

■ Should I pay down my mortgage or invest those funds? Most of us dream of freeing ourselves from a mortgage someday. So, as your career advances and your income rises, you may wonder if you should make bigger mortgage payments. On one hand, there’s no denying the psychological benefits you’d receive from paying off your mortgage. However, you may want to consider putting any extra money into your investment portfolio to help as you work toward your retirement goals. Work with your financial advisor to determine what may be most appropriate for your portfolio. ■ Do I have enough insurance in place to protect my family? You may hear that you need seven or eight times your annual income in life insurance, but there’s really no “right” figure for everyone. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine how much life insurance is appropriate for your needs. ■ Am I familiar with my parents’ financial situation and estate considerations? Now is the time to communicate with your parents about a variety of issues related to their financial situation and estate plans. The more you know, the better positioned you’ll be to provide assistance and support if and when it’s needed. Just to name one example, you should inquire of your parents if they’ve designated a durable power of attorney to make financial decisions for them in case they’re ever incapacitated. By answering these questions, you can get a handle on all the financial issues you face at your stage of life. It may seem challenging, but taking the time now can help you better position yourself to reach your financial goals. For more information on investing, contact Wendy Schopp at Edward Jones Investments, 671-1318.

Victor Ashe

has recently purchased a place on State Street across from First Presbyterian Church. He plans to sell his Kingston Pike showcase home with outstanding gardens which was the site of a large, successful Rogero fundraiser in October 2011. Mannis at one time considered running for mayor but then backed Rogero instead. He is still considered a possible candidate in 2019 when Rogero is term limited and unable to seek a third term. If you are wondering who possible 2019 mayoral candidates might be, then here is the first early list of possibles. I have excluded persons who in 2019 will be over 72. The list does not reflect my personal preferences but those who could be credible in my view if they choose to run. Some of these individuals may not be thinking about it and will be surprised to see their name on the list. However, they are credible if they decide to seek the job. Much can happen in seven years to remove some of these names while new names will crop up which are not being thought about at present. Those possible candidates might then include Vice Mayor Nick Pavlis, Council members Marshall Stair and George Wallace, Police Chief David Rausch, County Commissioner Sam McKenzie, city Service Director David Brace, attorney Wayne Ritchie and business owner Randy Boyd if he moves into the city. Undoubtedly, there are others whom I have omitted and anyone should feel free to email me names at vhashe@aol.com. ■ Federal District Judge Thomas Phillips will retire in June 2013 regardless of whether Obama or Romney wins the presidential election.

the new federal judge after June 2013, but Tennessee’s two Republican senators will have a major voice in recommending a name to a President Romney. The senior Democrat who would make recommendations to President Obama would be Nashville’s U.S. Rep. Jim Cooper. However, the potential nominee must also be acceptable to Tennessee’s two Senators to secure Senate confirmation. The 6th federal Judicial Circuit annual conference for 2013 has been canceled due to federal budget constraints. It was scheduled for Nashville. This conference is normally held annually and 2013 will be skipped. A recent conference planned in the 9th federal circuit (west coast) scheduled for Hawaii had triggered active congressional criticism. ■ Watch out for the proposed 35 cent county property tax increase for schools being increased to 45 or 50 cents if it passes to accommodate county employee pay raises (especially in the Sheriff’s Office) plus pension issues. There is talk now about adding on if the 35 cents looks likely to get the needed 7 votes out of 11 to pass. Voters should watch their wallets. This add-on could occur with little public discussion if it goes unreported. ■ Former Fire Chief Gene Hamlin is recovering well from a stroke he suffered May 15 at his home in Andersonville and is back home after a week at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center. ■ Lydia Pulsipher, honorary consul general for Slovenia (formerly part of Yugoslavia), held a wine tasting party on May 20 at her Holston Hills home which was attended by two former mayors, Kyle Testerman and his wife, Gloria, and your writer of this column. Testerman now divides his time between his Sequoyah Hills home and North Carolina (near Asheville).

Making the JJ sliders

Knox County Sheriff Jimmy “J.J.” Jones tries on a chef’s hat offered by Food City Chef Jimmie “J.J.” Jones. “Wow. This looks French,” said Sheriff Jones. “This picture will be popping up in odd places, especially near election time.” “The secret to good burgers,” said Chef Jones, “is not to pound them. Just flip them once and let them cook.”

By Sandra Clark It was too cool to pass up. Learning that the high sheriff has the same name and same nickname as the training chef at Food City was a story made in heaven. Especially for summer when things are slow. (Well, things were not totally slow last week but this is a tastier story.) Take a look at Ruth White’s photo at left. These little burgers are now called JJ Sliders in honor of our cooking adventure to Food City in Bearden. Chef Jones said the meat is 80/20 chuck and the bread is a regular Food City dinner roll (“We make them every day.”)

The slice of cheese looks like pepperjack (we forgot to ask) and the special ingredients are the crunchy peppers. “It smells like the Fair,” said Sheriff Jones. And then, not to insult anyone at the Fair, he added: “I go twice every year. One day to eat and one day to ride.” Chef Jones gave Ruth the recipe which she promised to try out on her family. “Halve the jalapenos and scrape out the seeds (wear gloves to avoid burns). Cut peppers and onions into strips and soak them for 10 minutes in buttermilk and then bread them in flour seasoned with pepper, garlic and some other stuff.” The JJ Slider is good stuff!

Kickin’ back in the cabin on the hill NORRIS LAKE, May 19 – Here in the little cabin on the hill, my wonderful Walden, I see singing skies and dancing waters, or so the song says. It is one of those spring Saturdays you never want to slip away. Ah, but then there is the sunset. Endings, here at least, arrive with enchantment. This place was built by my late great-uncle, Fountain City guy Ted Mabe. He and his wife, Ethel, had the cabin constructed during the Eisenhower era. His good-luck horseshoe still hangs over the door. Ethel’s Hotpoint stove still heats. I’m sipping a glass-bottled Coke on the screenedin back deck, watching the waves on the water, resting, rejuvenating.

A black crow trounces. The moment is fleeting; the bird takes flight. A few minutes ago, a crimson cardinal skipped from tree to tree. Playing in the background is a Rodney Crowell recording by way of the Knoxville Grass. (Remember them?) “Song for the Life.” Simple. Sweet. Oh, by the way, Jerry Douglas is playing dobro. (Yes, that Jerry Douglas.) The record was recorded live at Buddy’s Bar-B-Q, back in the day. The song is perfectly poignant for this magic moment. Somehow I learned how to listen, for a sound like the sun going down; the magic that morning is bringing; there’s a song for the life I have found; it keeps my feet on the ground.

Fishermen float by in a bass boat. I can’t quite catch their chatter. Lord only knows about their luck. Are the fish feisty? It matters not. Not to me. Not here. Not now. Green hues glitter as I gaze toward the azure atmosphere. Methinks I will sit a spell. Nowhere to go; no place to be. Deadlines and commitments are a county away. Jenn spotted a yard sale several streets over from this spot. She is shopping. Fine by me. Our dog, Ellie Mae, is keeping me company. I do not want to move, but move we must. In a day or two, Jenn and I will jaunt to nearby Norris, and, perhaps, to the dam. Haven’t been there in 20-some years. Is the pool still there? See

Not incidentally, someone must crack the case of clubhouse thefts. Lost iPhones disrupt harmony. He who coaches Tennessee football must walk a tightrope over a deep ravine. At all caravan stops and occasional interviews, he is expected to project optimism to help fill vacant seats but he better balance his message to avoid excessive expectations. Failing to measure up can be fatal after back-to-back losing seasons. You are right, actions speak louder than words. The new sheriff is looking. He who coaches the Vols can never dare be satisfied. He can have the finest facilities, revised to his specs,

the great stadium and new grass but he needs more practice space and better dinners and a preseason bonding adventure at Milligan College. Hmmmm. Did Hart say whatever it takes? It is just money. We who pose as fans can smile and say amen. If all that and even more will help recruiting and eventually win a game or two, go for it. We are Tennessee. He who coaches UT football must never lose sight of the primary goal – championships, top 10, big bowls, supremacy beyond all odds. It is also good to beat the betting line. The previous coach (not counting the Kiffin kid) won

152 games and a national crown and produced many glorious Saturdays. He was 11-5 against Alabama. He was 11-6 against Georgia. He was always and forever dependable against Kentucky and almost that good, 15-1, against Vanderbilt. Alas, he had trouble with Florida. Some said he slipped in salesmanship. His help came up a bit short. He was pushed out, paid $6 million and pointed toward the Hall of Fame. He who now coaches Tennessee football can only hope, with Hart’s help, to end up half that happy. Say a prayer. Marvin West invites reader reaction. His address is westwest6@netzero.com.

Riding with Frankie

This isn’t old school animal control

CRITTER TALES | Sara Barrett

pl. Frankie Byrne defies the stereotype of an animal control officer. She often meets animals (and people) in stressful situations. And like any law enforcement officer, her job is to calm the tension. Byrne was stuffed behind an air conditioning unit at an abandoned building recently, gently rubbing a leash against the body of a terrified dog. Two police officers stood nearby, ready for anything. Someone had complained about the dog, and the officers had arrived to a growling, threatening animal. They were about to use pepper spray on him when Byrne arrived. She stayed by the dog for a time so he would get used to her presence; then she got him used to the leash; then she coaxed him out and carried him like a baby to her truck for transport to YoungWilliams Animal Center. He has since been adopted. It was just another afternoon’s work for Byrne, but she clearly saved that dog’s life. “You have to look at the danger aspect of it – you don’t want to put yourself or the dog in a bad situation,” she said. “If you’re being irresponsible, he’s not a crazy ‘Cujo’ dog, but he will bite you like crazy. You’ve basically just signed this dog’s death sentence.” She is alluding to the common sense rule – any dog that bites a human cannot be put up for adoption. The alternative is to have them euthanized. Last week I rode along with her to see the daily operations of animal control. We visited four cases in North Knoxville and took custody of one dog and one cat. A catch pole was never used. Byrne remained

calm the entire time and seemed to have a calming effect on the people we encountered. “I’m not from Tennessee, but I can relate to people through my life experiences,” said Byrne. She grew up in rural Texas and Ohio and worked in public relations in New York after college. She eventually worked at the Oakland zoo where she realized her heart belonged in animal-related work. Byrne started with Knox County Animal Control in 2007 and has seen the operations change dramatically since the agency was merged with the Knox County Sheriff’s Office in 2010. “We have a lot more access to information and educational resources now,” she said. Animal control is becoming a force to be reckoned with on both a county and state level. “We can write our own search warrants at this point,” she said. During our rounds, we visited the residence of a breeder who had been cited previously because of her animals’ poor living conditions. No one was home at the time of our visit, but Byrne was still able to do some investigative work. The structure the animals were housed in had a pretty strong odor of urine around the door and windows. A crack in a wooden fence allowed her to see a couple of days’ worth of feces on the concrete, which led her to believe the animals may not be checked on as often as needed. Byrne would call the breeder later that day to discuss the situation and state necessary changes to prevent another citation. The last call of the day was to the home of a man currently on probation for animal neglect. His plea deal included not keeping animals

A memorable case for Byrne involved a man who kept his dog in a cage on the back porch during the summer with a flannel blanket over the top and no water. A neighbor called to report it and when Byrne arrived, the man explained his plan of “prepping” his dog for hog hunting in Georgia. The dog would travel in an enclosed cage in the back of a truck in the heat of the day. The man thought the dog could be trained to adapt by its current treatment. Byrne explained why this would not work, but the man insisted. Byrne then suggested letting a judge decide who was right, and the man agreed to a change of environment for his dog. The neighbor who initially complained said they no longer saw the dog in the cage. “We answered 10,000 calls last year.” Many of those, she said, were situations where the owners just needed to be educated; some more than others.

The One who holds us … Whenever you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you. (Matthew 6: 6 NRSV) To pray is to laugh, whistle, dance on happy feet, sing, shout, and jump higher than ever before. But it is also to whisper, wonder, stumble in dark places, cry, scream or just hold a tired head in tired hands and wait. Prayer is our tired reaching out to the One who holds us closer and loves us more than we would dare imagine. – Greta Schrumm

If I am honest, my favorite prayer in the world is from the movie “The Sound of Music,” when Maria first arrives at the gate of the von Trapp estate, stops dead in amazement and trepidation, and breathes, “Oh, help.” I love it for its simplicity and for its honesty. I love that it does not bother with flowery words or empty phrases. It gets right to the point, as if Maria were speaking to a dear friend who understood the need and how to supply it (which, of course, she was). I have whispered those very words – “Oh, help” – on more than one occasion. I also remember to murmur “Thank you,” when even the smallest prayer is answered. I was talking today to a friend who is feeling cut

off from that line of communication. My friend is at the “hold a tired head in tired hands and wait” stage of conversation with the Almighty. How many body blows can one person take and remain standing? It is a question I have asked more than once in the past several months on behalf of one friend and another. I have confessed in this space before that there are times when I want to grab the Almighty by the lapels

and demand to know, “Are you paying attention? Why don’t you do something about this?” (I trust that God understands my frustration and can handle my impertinence.) And that is usually when I remember what one of my favorite preachers said from the pulpit one Sunday morning years ago. It made me squirm at that moment, and it makes me squirm every time I think about it. He said, “Whenever we ask God why God isn’t doing something about a bad situation, just remember that God asks us the same question: ‘Why aren’t you?’ ” In my work, we see a steady stream of need – folks who need help, encouragement, advice, a listening ear, a referral, a “You can do this,” or a “Go, get ’em, Tiger!” If ever folks needed to hear that there is “One who holds us closer and loves us more than we would dare imagine,” it is the folks I see in my office. So I keep a candle burning in my office every day. I get accused – facetiously, I think – of being a firebug. But the truth is, that candle is one of the ways I pray. Its aroma and its smoke reach heavenward, and every time I think about it, see it or smell it, I whisper Maria’s prayer. “Oh, help.”

duce the program and sing along with the actors at the end. Dolly introduces the show saying, “We started out with books. Now I’ve mixed in some songs about Otis especially for you, and I’ve topped it all off with our talented Dollywood performers known as the Penguin Players. Chief Penguin just loves my Imagination Playhouse and I really hope that you do too.” Following the show is a meet and greet time where the audience can meet the actors, get autographs and take photos with them. As children leave, they are given a free activities

Bridesmaid Miriam Withington celebrates with â&#x20AC;&#x153;quarter girlâ&#x20AC;? Brittain Mattingly after the wedding. All the girls in the class dressed as brides with a veil and white dress regardless of their role in the ceremony.

Matthew Stanton.

Groomsmen Landon Johnson, Braden Wilson and Luke Bass wait patiently for the wedding to begin. Each student in Andersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s class played a part in the wedding, from the â&#x20AC;&#x153;quarter girlsâ&#x20AC;?

Bright4tar Reliable Home Care 1 out of 3 adults age 65 & older falls each year. Seniors are more at risk GPS accidentT due to balance disorders, failing eyesight and slower reflexes. Among older adults, falls are the leading cause of injury death. They are also the most common cause of nonfatal injuries and hospital admissions for trauma such as fractures. The most common are fractures of the spine, hip, forearm, leg, ankle, pelvis, upper arm, and hand. Accidents cannot be planned, but precautions can be made to prevent them.

Ways to Prevent Falls â&#x2DC;&#x2026; Exercise regularly. It is important that the exercises focus on increasing leg strength and improving balance, and that they get more challenging over time. Tai Chi programs are especially good. â&#x2DC;&#x2026; Ask their doctor or pharmacist to review their medicinesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;both prescription and over-the counterâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;to identify medicines that may cause side effects or interactions such as dizziness or drowsiness. â&#x2DC;&#x2026; Have their eyes checked by an eye doctor at least once a year and update their eyeglasses to maximize their vision. Consider getting a pair with single vision distance lenses for some activities such as walking outside. â&#x2DC;&#x2026; Make their homes safer by reducing tripping hazards, adding grab bars inside and outside the tub or shower and next to the toilet, adding stair railings and improving the lighting in their homes.

News from Rural/Metro

The real signs of drowning By Rob Webb What does Hollywood teach us a b o u t d row n i ng? On the silver screen, drowning victims yell for help and wave f ra nt ic a l ly Webb to those on shore alerting lifeguards to their plight. This dramatized version of a dangerous situation gives people

an unrealistic view of what drowning really looks like. In a real drowning situation, a victim can slip quickly and quietly under the water before anyone recognizes the danger. Drowning is the second leading cause of accidental death in children 15 and under. According to the Centers for Disease Control, an estimated 750 children will drown next year, and about 375 of them will drown within 25 yards of a parent or adult. In 10 percent of those

drownings, the adult will notice them, but not realize the serious warning signs until it is too late. Drowning victims often cannot get their mouths above the water long enough to inhale to call for help. Their limbs will be busy under the surface pushing down on the water, trying to bring their mouths above the surface to breathe. Their bodies will be upright with no evidence of a kick or struggle. These are signs of something called Instinctive Drowning Response. Once this critical point is reached, a rescuer may have as little as 20 to 60 seconds to save a child before he or she slips beneath the surface. If someone is waving and calling for help, the

situation is still grave. This is a sign of aquatic distress, which can quickly escalate to Instinctive Drowning Response. Watch for these warning signs of Instinctive Drowning Response: ■ Mouth submerged or head tilted back with mouth open ■ Eyes closed or glassy, unable to focus ■ Hair over forehead or eyes ■ Vertical position in water ■ Hyperventilating or gasping ■ Appear to be climbing an invisible ladder. When supervising a child in the water, remove all distractions, stay alert and know basic CPR. Don’t let Hollywood fool you.

Linnie Sexton supervises her daughter, Riley, while enjoying a day at the lake. May is National Water Safety month, and Rural/ Metro urges parents to supervise their children while enjoying water activities. Photo submitted Know the real signs of drowning, and swimming can be a safe and fun ac-

tivity for your family this summer. Rob Webb is East Tennessee Division General Manager for Rural/Metro.

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

In memory of …

Service seeks to heal when medicine could not The names flooded the room, carried by a wave of memories and emotions. There was Rose, Ruby and Ruth. Joe, James and John. There were mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers, wives and husbands, and other kinships and friendships. Names of loved ones whose last moments on Earth were in a room at Parkwest Medical Center. The hospital’s patient memorial services, held in honor of those who passed away during the previous quarter, aren’t widely known despite being held since the late 1990s. But for families and friends of those who lost loved ones, the services are an extension of the hospital’s Treated Well. Well Treated.® standard of care, helping heal when medicine could not. “It’s just an extension of caring – it’s part of what we do,” explains Parkwest Chaplain David Bluford, who conducts the Sunday afternoon services in the hospital’s education classrooms. The services are simple and informal, usually averaging about 40 guests who hear Bluford call out with “a sense of responsibility” the names of the departed. It’s a process that takes longer than one might expect, but also is strangely comforting. “When you listen to the number of people whose names are being read, you start to realize that you’re not in this alone,” said Jeff Herbold, one of about 70 people who attended the May 4 service. That was precisely Bluford’s point during his message on grief and healing and the inevitability of death. “It’s a journey that we all travel,” Bluford says. “And it’s a journey that we don’t make alone.” Still, more than anything, the services are a celebration of life. “Each of us carries a very real part of that person with us for we are the beneficiaries of that life, of that person who has touched us, who has meant so much to us,” Bluford tells the attendees. “Thus, that individual will always be special, will always be there and will always mean much to us.” A sense of that specialness was evident during a responsive reading in which guests were also asked to call out the names of their loved one. “In the rising of the sun and in its going down,” Bluford reads. “We will remember ___,” the attendees respond, filling in the blanks with the names of their loved one. “In the blowing of the wind and in the chill of winter,” Bluford continues. “We will remember ___,” they answer, again completing the thought with the names of the deceased. It’s a reading that reflects on beginnings and ends, and how each person plays a part in that. With it, comes a cacophony of sounds as one not only hears the names but also whispered terms of endearment like “Mammaw” and “Daddy” mingled amid soft sobs. For many of those attending the service, it is their first trip back to Parkwest since their loved one’s passing, a difficult step in itself. But for others, like John Couch of Rockwood and daughters Alisa Smith and Karen Martin, the service brought a measure of healing for the loss of his wife and their mother. John and Phyllis Couch would’ve marked their 58th anniversary Tuesday, May 29, but she passed away Feb. 4 of lung cancer – a condition that had gone undiagnosed until her arrival at Parkwest in late January.

Parkwest Chaplain David Bluford (second from left) talks with John Couch and his daughters Alisa Smith and Karen Martin following a recent patient memorial service. At left, the Herbold family mourns the loss of Arlene Herbold, shown here with her husband, George.

“When I received the letter (of invitation to the services), I knew right off the bat that I was going to get my family involved and that we needed to come, especially when they said they were going to read off the names,” said John Couch. “Even though we lost Mama, we were extremely proud of everything that Parkwest did. They showed us loving care and we appreciated that.” More often than not, the service also serves as a way for the family to reconnect with Parkwest staff – particularly those in Palliative Care – with whom many had grown close during their loved one’s last days. “Those people deserve to have all the hugs and pats on the back they can get,” said Alisa Smith. “It was good to reconnect with them.” Jeff Herbold’s father, George, echoed that sentiment, praising Parkwest’s Palliative Care for easing his wife Arlene’s suffering during her ﬁnal days with cancer. “When we found out the end was close for my wife, Mary Sowell (director of Palliative Care) told us, ‘Why don’t you make her room like her bedroom?’ And we took her up on that. Brought a table lamp in, and pictures and different stuff and got a radio where she could hear her music.” “Everyone who came into the room com-

“It’s a journey that we all travel. And it’s a journey that we don’t make alone.” – David Bluford, Parkwest Chaplain mented on how peaceful the room became with that light on,” said Carol Herbold, Arlene’s daughter and a registered nurse at Parkwest. “It helped take away the ‘hospital feel’ to the room. We had other personal things in the room, but I don’t think any of them were as comforting as that lamp was to us.” After she passed away, the family left the lamp – which had been one of Arlene’s favorite gifts – behind with Sowell along with instructions to let others use it. The lamp is now known as “The Angel Lamp” and helps brighten the final days of others. Sowell says hers is the most difficult job she’s ever had “not because patients are going to die at some point, but because of the difficulty and reticence they and families experience in understanding and accepting end-of-life issues.”

“It is certainly human nature that we all want to live forever, but we do not,” said Sowell. “We are all dying at this very minute. So, for those nearing the end of their lives, how do we make it better? As one of my patients said, ‘It is not about the length of time I have left, but the quality of time.’ The relationships I develop with people like this humble me.” Still, when time runs out, those left behind must grapple with the pain of the loss. Time, it is said, heals all wounds. Bluford, however, begs to differ. “Grief is one of those things that, despite our societal way of looking at it, is not something that goes away over time,” Bluford explained after the service. “It changes in intensity and the emotional connection with it may change, but there is a part of you that always has that sense of loss, and that’s OK. That’s what we, hopefully, convey to folks.” David Lowe of Madisonville lost Barbara, his wife of 26 years, in March 2011. Soon after her passing, he attended Parkwest’s patient memorial service and found it so helpful to his own healing that he returned again this May. “When I received the letter about the service, I thought it was a very unique idea, a very good idea and I immediately planned on attending,” said Lowe. “It was a tribute to my wife. That’s the reason I came back a second time – as a tribute to my wife. I love her and I miss her.”

Parkwest Medical Center remains on the forefront of diagnosing and treating disease with the most advanced technology available…those who entrust their healthcare to us demand nothing less. But technology alone isn’t enough to bring healing and comfort to patients and families. True healthcare begins with something less expensive, non-invasive and pain free. It’s called listening.

At Parkwest…listening is state-of-the-art.

Ankle arthritis By Theresa Edwards Ankle arthritis can be a painful condition for many people, and Dr. Tracy Pesut of Tennessee Orthopaedic Clinics presented Parkwest’s lunch and learn seminar at the Strang Senior Center explaining what it is, some nonsurgical options and surgery procedures. Unlike the hip and knee, ankle arthritis is less common. It usually occurs as a result of trauma caused by injuries or abnormal biomechanics caused by flat feet or high arches. Radiology will show arthritic changes in the ankle usually within two years of an injury if it is going to occur. Some natural methods of treatment which help in some cases include tart

cherry juice to ease the pain and swelling, cinnamon and glucosamine/ chondroitin supplements. Pain and anti-inflammatory medicines can help with comfort, but Pesut warned these can cause side effects. Corticosteroid (CS) injections are sometimes helpful. Some people experience positive results from hyaluronic acid, but it is not FDA approved for ankles. Another option Pesut discussed was bracing and shoewear modifications. The problem she pointed out with bracing is that it limits movement of the ankle which can cause stiffness, increasing the arthritic condition. Although nonsurgical

Classes for seniors

Get moving, start improving Provision plans special day: May 30

It is low impact and offers strength conditioning, help with range of motion, and relaxation.

By Sandra Clark Hey, aging doesn’t mean the end of life as we know it. It just means change. And to guide us on the path, the professionals at Provision have set aside a special day, Wednesday, May 30, to talk with seniors. Everyone is invited, but it helps them prepare if you call ahead at 232-1414. Here’s what to expect: Meet and Greet, 9 to 10 a.m. Nutrition Talk with Casey Peer, Registered Dietitian, 10 to 11 a.m. Get moving with a choice of classes suited to your fitness level, 11 a.m. until noon. “Bring questions,” said Casey. “Our nutrition needs change as we age. Finances change. Children leave home and families shrink. Muscle mass is different and the appetites decrease. Even tastes change. “Sometimes seniors decide to eat out rather than cook. Others might skip a meal for a bowl of cereal or soup.

“We will discuss how to prepare small meals on a budget that are balanced and healthy. To keep the body healthy, we must ensure that key nutrients are not omitted from the diet. “Hydration is important. Even if activity decreases, adequate water is important to manage blood pressure, for instance. If you’re working outside, hydration is even more crucial.” Casey Peer works with people of all ages. At Provision, she sometimes counsels people who are managing medical issues. “I want to clear up misconceptions – to cut through the confusing information you might see or hear in the media,” she said. “We hope all seniors (age 60 and older) will call us and stop by on Wednesday,” said Managing Director Lisa Wolf. “We are not your typical gym, and there is a place here for seniors.” Call 232-1414 to reserve a spot at the free celebration of National Senior Health & Fitness Day. Bring a friend. And if you’re not quite 60, well, come anyway. No one will “card” you.
