By Theresa E Edwards dwa dw ard ds A living history weekend celebrating the day Tennessee was granted statehood on June 1, 1796, was held at Marble Springs state historic site, the last remaining home of Governor John Sevier.

People dressed in 1790s attire took visitors back in time as they demonstrated open hearth cooking, blacksmithing, weaving, spinning wool, bullet casting, quill writing, tomahawk throwing, cannon firing and skirmishes.

Live dulcimer music added a festive tone.

Visitors enjoyed self-guided tours, viewing the governor’s old homestead including the tavern, loom house, smokehouse, springhouse, Sevier’s cabin and detached kitchen.

There was a variety of displays including guns of the War of 1812, Indian artifacts and blanket trader items.

Jeff Ledford portraying an indentured servant, showed an old French coin and a copy of a half-pence.

“Many early settlers brought coins from their home country,” he said. Info www.marblesprings.net/.

Who polices homeowners associations?

By Betty Bean Disputes within homeowners groups can get ugly, particularly in condominium developments where neighbors live cheek by jowl.

Last Tuesday evening a group of Devanshire subdivision homeowners were set to meet with a reporter at Tracey Gross’scondo to air complaints against their homeowners association. That afternoon, Gross was rushed to the emergency room at Parkwest Medical Center with chest pains and spiking blood pressure. She was stabilized and re-

turned home to host the meeting.

Still wearing her hospital bracelet, she pointed to water stains on her living room ceiling. Condo owners pay monthly dues and annual special assessment fees to fund the external repairs that are the responsibility of the HOA. Gross says the stress of dealing with Devanshire’s unaddressed maintenance issues and financial problems, plus the ongoing tension in the neighborhood, is ruining her health.

Last September, Gross’s neighbor Judy Hedden sent a letter to the

She and Gross are part of a group of Devanshire homeowners who are tangled in a legal dispute with the HOA board, and she wanted to know if MPC – or anyone – has the authority to regulate homeowners associations.

“On the surface, an HOA may appear to be good for the community.

The problem is that there is no oversight. This puts an unfair burden on the homeowners to have to take legal action in what could be avoided in the first place,” Hedden’s letter said.

She received a reply from MPC director Mark Donaldson, who addressed the question of whether MPC could remove an HOA board for misconduct.

no. The planning commission does not require the creation of an HOA, so it stands to reason that it has no authority to intervene in the actions of an HOA. I do not foresee a situation in which the MPC would require an HOA or forbid the creation of an HOA” Donaldson wrote.

Devanshire Homeowners Association president Ed Johnson declined to comment on the complaints, citing ongoing legal battles, but issued a warning: “If they are talking to the media about this, they are violating a court order.”

The court order Johnson cites is a temporary injunction forbidding Hedden, Gross, Carla Faughnan and four others from acting as Devanshire HOA

board members. Members of the dissident group were elected in June 2012 after Johnson and several other sitting board members walked out of an annual meeting. Chancellor Mike Moyers ruled that the election was invalid for lack of a quorum.

Faughnan, who remains as a board member, finds herself in the peculiar position of being both a named defendant and a member of the plaintiff board. She has lived there for 17 years and bought into an 88unit condo development with amenities appropriate to a community of that size. Over the years, however, she says she watched with alarm as three other “phases” were added to the subdivision, swelling its population to more than

320 units, all of which have rights to use the small onsite pool. She says that roof and other repairs, which are the responsibility of the HOA, go unaddressed while money is poured into projects, like installing speed bumps and repaving the swimming pool parking lot.

“I told them we should be fiduciaries of our condos, and we should take care of them first,” she said. “My shingles were so brittle that when they bent them back, they popped.

I gave them three years’ notice, and then I wrote a letter telling them I would like for this to be addressed by April 3. After that, I went to the courthouse and sued. I gave them ample warning.”

After much wrangling,

Faughnan got her new roof, but says others haven’t been as successful.

“My neighbor, who pays his assessment fees every month, says it’s no use fighting them. His roof still is not done.

HOA history At first, Faughnan dealt with developer Jim Carlton, who also ran the HOA in accordance with the Tennessee Horizontal Properties Act (which was superseded by the Condominium Act in 2009). In 2002 he turned the HOA over to the members, as required by state law after 75 percent of the units are sold. The bank balance was zero, Faughnan and Hedden say.

Restaurant booms with smaller sign Eddie Halliday stood next to the monument sign in front of his Chick-fil-A restaurant on Kingston Pike in Bearden Village and said he’s still not entirely sure what the fuss over signage is about. He is an upbeat guy with a wall-to-wall smile whose voicemail message wishes his callers a blessed day and sounds like he means it.

Betty Bean “I mean, look at Kingston Pike,” he said, pointing to the tavern across the street.

“There’s a guy over there with a hot dog painted on his front window.”

All in all, Eddie’s got a lot to smile about. He has just finished up his first year as operator of the Chick-fil-A on Kingston Pike. It’s been a smashing success, exceeding all its projections. The meeting room is reserved three or four times a day, except,

of course for Sundays, when Chick-fil-A is closed.

Did the goodwill generated by his willingness to back off the initial plan to plant a towering pole-mounted sign out front play into that success?

He says he doesn’t know, since he hasn’t tried it the other way. He also says he didn’t have much say in the matter, because the decision was made higher on the corporate food chain, where the deciding factor was the serendipitous timing of having another new store in the works that could use the costly pole sign.

“The local guy doesn’t have any say,” he said. “That decision comes from design and construction and was made long ago. I was surprised when (City Council member) Duane Grieve came and talked to me about my sign.”

The city’s present sign ordinance allows signs up to 50 feet high, and Halliday said it’s the city’s responsibility to enact signage laws it can live with (something that’s in the works with a taskforce that

will be delivering its work product to the Metropolitan Planning Commission later this summer).

He says he feels sorry for Greg and Stacy Harb, operators of the soon-to-be opened Fountain City Chick-fil-A, where a 40- tall pole sign has been extremely controversial.

“I know that Greg is really excited about opening,

and will be a real asset to the community,” Halliday said.

Chick-fil-A’s willingness to switch out the signage to help its West Knox neighbors reduce the visual clutter on Kingston Pike was commendable, but makes its actions even more frustrating to those who had hoped to receive the same consideration in Fountain City.

Kuhlman, Knox GOP aim high in 2014 There will be 34 open elective offices in Knox County in 2014, and GOP chair Ruthie Kuhlman believes Republicans can fill every one of them.

It’s no surprise that a primary target for Republicans next year will be the District 13 state legislative seat now held by former county Democratic chair Gloria Johnson.

“We’re really working hard to find the right person to run against Johnson,” Kuhlman says. “We know it’s going to take a very strong candidate because of the make-up of the 13th. It’s not impossible for a Republican to win there. It just has to be the right Republican.

We very much want to take that seat.”

ergized and excited about the party’s prospects. Since her election in January, she has been meeting with community movers and shakers and with Republican leadership top to bottom.

“When I was first elected I heard from so many people that they were called on only every two years – when there was an election – and that they never heard from our party between election cycles. They said they would like to be more involved.

That was all the motivation I needed.”

Kuhlman set out on a “listening tour,” determined to find ways to build the party.

“We have had great leadership for a long time, from the top down through the precinct level, and if more people want to be more involved we need to find ways to accommodate that.”

She has met with most former party chairs. She says it’s not surprising that they are a wealth of good information and advice and have been incredibly supportive of getting greater involvement by a larger number of people.

Precinct chairs from all across the county gathered for a meeting last week – a first in the history of the party, Kuhlman says she has been told. Those sessions will continue quarterly.

Presidents of GOP clubs from across the county

gathered a couple of weeks ago.

They will continue to meet bimonthly.

A series of dutch-treat luncheons Kuhlman with elected officials will begin this week, Kuhlman said, and will continue until all have met and had an opportunity to have their ideas discussed.

As Kuhlman says: “I’m meeting with everybody you can think of. It’s important to what we’re trying to accomplish that we all find ways to work together to achieve our goal of winning in 2014 with the very best candidates. We want every single one of those offices.”

KARNS/HARDIN VALLEY Shopper news • JUNE 3, 2013 • A-5

Bird banding NATURE NOTES | Dr. Bob Collier It’s often the unplanned or unexpected surprises that provide the most memorable parts of travelling – people, scenery, food, those sorts of things.

And I remember the best steak I ever ate, at a little place in Hays, Kan., that was doing business in what had been a filling station. It had been recommended by some locals. Yum. But then I could fill a whole column about food on trips.

To get back to the subject: Grandma and I came upon one such interesting and memorable happenstance on the trip we took last month.

We set out in early May to see how many species of birds we could find in western Pennsylvania and New York, and we did pretty well, considering the time of year.

One morning we were in

a place called Braddock Bay, located on Lake Ontario, about 20 miles west of Rochester, N.Y. The area of big, quiet parks with beaches and cliffs overlooking the enormous, ocean-like lake created a scene that I wouldn’t have expected to see in New York.

We were there because our New York bird-finding book said it was the site of a long-standing annual hawk watch, where superbirders sit all day and count hawks and other big birds migrating northeast along the shoreline of the huge lake as they work their way north. Where there is a hawk watch, there should

also be friendly, knowledgeable birders, and we hoped for some good local information as well as good looks at a bunch of interesting hawks.

So here was the unanticipated part: they not only knew their stuff, they said that there were two active bird-banding stations a short distance away around the bay.

Now, you must understand that coming upon a local active bird-banding operation is a really big deal for a couple of itinerant birdwatchers. These stations are run by avid and expert bird people who really know their local birds, what’s there when, and where to go to find them.

And the extra bonus on this trip was the nearby raptor-banding station, where they were using live starlings as bait to catch and band the big guys: the hawks and other birds of prey. It sounded like Hog Heaven for birders to us, and we were soon off to find the action.

But first: what is bird banding, and why?

People have been curious about the lives of birds ever since there were people, I suspect. How they fly, what they eat (and how they taste) and, in particular, where they go when they’re not here. They leave, and they return, every year, predictably. It used to be common knowledge that the swallows spent their winters asleep in the mud at the bottom of ponds and marshes and that the hummingbirds flew south each fall on the backs of geese.

To solve the problem, a way was needed to mark individual birds, so they could be identified when they were encountered again. Various schemes were tried, but nothing worked well until, in 1899, a Danish professor named Christian C. Mortensen developed a system for attaching light aluminum rings to the legs of ducks, starlings, storks and sea birds.

The practice spread throughout Europe, and by

1902, scientists at the Smithsonian Institution were studying the movements of a bunch of black-crowned night herons by banding a hundred of them.

Standard practice is to capture wild birds in nets or traps, put on the tiny band identified with a series of numbers and data, and release them unharmed to go about their usual business.

Then if the bird is shot, recaptured or found dead at some other location, even 1,000 miles away, tons of information can be gained, such the bird’s age, or how far it has travelled and the like.

A bird-banding station runs with the efficiency of an operating room (but it’s a lot more cheerful). Everything is laid out in orderly fashion, and each team member coolly does his or her job; all goes smoothly amid considerable seeming chaos. There is one person in charge, someone with a prodigious knowledge of the tiniest details of bird identification.

A black and white warbler, banded and ready for release.

I remember seeing a rare and unusual bird on the Galapagos Islands – the woodpecker finch. It is one of a handful of birds known to use tools in its quest for food. It uses twigs and thorns to pry bugs and worms out of their hiding places. We saw it because our bus had broken down. We were wandering up and down some remote road, waiting for rescue, when we got to see the bird doing its amazing thing!

And then there was the beautiful, haunting song of the canyon wren echoing off the walls of the Grand Canyon one morning, never-tobe-forgotten music from a tiny ball of feathers and a billion years of rocks.

A-6 • JUNE 3, 2013 • Shopper news get a raise. He is excellent at sales. Fans have scrambled onto the band wagon.

Ol’ Vols have offered endorsements. Prospective players have demonstrated keen interest. This is very encouraging.

As good as it looks in the preceding paragraph, none of this will make much difference at Oregon. Outsider enthusiasm and two more verses of “Rocky Top� probably won’t scare the Gators or alarm the Crimson Tide.

Insider enthusiasm might affect some games.

If the Volunteers really do work hard at getting better this summer and if they stay healthy and if they believe miracles are possible, Tennessee might upset somebody big.

That is essentially what Dave Hart said as he patted himself on the back for hiring Butch Jones. He said these Vols are now capable of overachieving.

If it happens, blame it on Butch. He brought a believable plan, brick by brick he calls it, with an emphasis on accountability. He hired good help, people he knew and could count on without wasting time double-checking to determine which assignments were completed.

Jones’ assistants may, in fact, turn out to be among the most functional units.

There are recruiting maniacs in the group. Tireless.

Relentless.

Going only on what I hear, I am impressed. Go-

ing on what he has seen and heard, so is the athletic director.

Hart says what Jones has done is gratifying, even exciting. His first choice of words to describe the coach is “passionate.�

That’s good enough.

Passion had to be part of Jones’ previous success.

He has never had overwhelming talent in great numbers. He still doesn’t.

After what we’ve been through, even guarded optimism is refreshing in Big Orange Country. I have decided to join the movement.

I’m in – with one out clause.

How long I stay will eventually be determined by wins and losses.

After partaking of the sacrament, we were invited to open the folds of Neither shouldest thou have stood in the crossway, the cup, and when we had to cut off those of his that did escape, neither shouldest done so, we saw the paper thou have delivered up those of his that did remain in the Cross was stained in the shape of Currents day of distress. a Maltese cross.

were all but overwhelming.

However, to truly walk in the way of the Cross is to follow Jesus, day by day.

It is to be obedient to His way, to be willing to give up one’s own will and way, and to become, step by step, like Him. It is to follow, to give, to obey, to suffer, and to die if need be.

One who walks with Christ is never alone.

Walking with Christ, we learn about him. We also learn things about ourselves we wish we did not have to know.

The Crossway is a crossroads. It is where we are called upon to make choices, to turn our faces in one direction or another, and to hold steady.

Standing in the Crossway calls us to be true wit-

nesses to Christ. It is an opportunity for growth and for blessing. It is also a risk.

Standing in the Crossway can be lonely, confusing, dangerous and sad.

Standing in the Crossway may mean standing alone, being faithful even when Christ seems very far away.

Standing in the Crossway means bearing the criticisms of those who do not understand, those who disagree, those who scoff.

It is the Way of the Cross. It is a path our Lord has walked. It is a place He took a stand on our behalf.

It is the very least we can do. We each have to find our own way, our own place, our own Golgotha.

Where will you stand in the Crossway?

OK, I’m in Among very valuable readers are those who, from time to time, offer guidance and coaching tips on how to write these tales of Tennessee. Email address at the bottom invites commentary.

I appreciate assistance.

I sometimes disagree, but I try to remember to be polite and say thank you.

In early December, one reader in particular scoffed at Butch Jones’ “dream job� comment. He is still scoffing. He says UT may have been “a� dream job, considering where the coach had been, but not “the� dream job.

Marvin West

His argument has merit: If Alabama, Florida, Michigan and Notre Dame had extended simultaneous job offers and the pay was comparable, Tennessee would have finished fifth in Jones’ dream.

Another reader had a lot to say about Butch bringing the “best� coaching staff in America. Much of it came

down I-75 from Cincinnati.

This reader had never heard of Mike Bajakian and couldn’t pronounce his name. He had heard of Willie Martinez and John Jancek and remembered how bad was their Georgia defense and the exact date they were fired.

I acknowledged the messages and moved on.

To tell you the truth, blind optimists are more fun than skeptical realists.

In winning his first six months at Tennessee, Butch Jones has performed as if this really is his chance of a lifetime. I do believe he is pleased to be the coach at Tennessee.

That is heartwarming.

If the man was being paid by the hour, he would

Shopper News Presents Miracle Makers

Trent paints it red and black Prepares to leave Central High after four years

By Sandra Clark “Grab your pad,” said Danny Trent.

The man who is leaving as principal of Central High School tore out for a campus tour, this reporter jogging to keep pace.

Like a politician, he worked the crowd.

Spotting a maintenance staffer from the central office, he said, “Yes, those bathrooms are the same as the day they were fixed.” He referred to a refurbishing of the men’s and women’s rooms in the commons area, as elegant as any in town.

The maintenance guy just grinned.

“You’ve gotta have faith in (the students),” said Trent.

“And keep the doors locked,” said the maintenance man.

*** Danny Trent will be the principal at Farragut Middle School this fall, replacing Heather Karnes who retired.

He denies asking for the transfer, but says he’s looking forward to the challenge.

Until Central, his background was in middle schools, and he was mentored by principals Jim Ivey, Bobby Gratz and Paul Williams. He says the four years at Central will make him a better middle school principal because he now understands what his students need to be successful in high school.

“Changes are coming by the second (in education),” he said. All schools will implement the Common Core next year – another challenge for teachers.

And another challenge for Trent will be his wardrobe. His closet is filled with red, black and white. He said his mom liked the change from Karns blue because the bolder colors “make your gray hair look good.” Now he needs new clothes in Admiral blue and gray.

*** Back to the tour. Wow! Things look different at Central High School.

There’s an explosion of red and black.

And no graffiti. The old nets that former principal Pat Mashburn had installed to combat roosting pigeons are gone, replaced by a wall and a banner in red and black that reads: “Dream, Believe, Achieve.”

In the commons you’ll find those new restrooms with tile and wallpaper, new tables, a cyber café where kids can access a dozen computers while eating, a television dialed to ESPN and picnic tables outside.

There’s new energy at Central and “you can feel it,” says Trent.

One of four new computer labs.

One of 24 student-drawn posters.

Scholarship boards like this one cover exterior walls at Central High School.

Posters and displays are a part. CHS staff have installed exterior signs with the names of scholarship winners. Up by the library, a poster proclaims students who earned all As in the most recent semester.

There are students of the month and teachers of the month. “Paint is cheap,” says Trent.

Hallways and the library boast 24 huge posters, hand-drawn by students copying artists from the old masters to Georgia O’Keeffe. And there are quotes and slogans everywhere, ranging from Walt Disney to Lil Wayne. “Yes, I know who he is,” says Trent. He asked both teachers and students to recommend quotes, and painted those suggested by teachers outside their classroom.

Even classrooms are different at Central, especially in the vocational building out back. The old cosmetology lab has been converted to a health sciences room with hands-on training in CPR and patient care. Graduates get certificates and a head-start in college classes, Trent said.

The old storage room is now a “home living” class for special needs

students who learn life skills including job skills at school.

And a new culinary arts program to prepare students to work in the food industry will be launched this fall in what was the old woodshop classroom. “We’ve got 100 kids interested and the construction should be done

by December,” he said. He patterned the program after a successful one at South-Doyle High School.

Thanks to Title One funding, Trent has added four computer labs at Central. He says when testing goes online next year, Central is ready.

There’s a professional development room where teachers can meet for planning.

Outside, security fences have been installed at either side of the open building, and Trent says the entire campus will be fenced this summer.

The building is being rekeyed for better security.

The school office and guidance offices have been redone for better workflow. An assistant principal and counselor are now housed upstairs in the freshman wing so students can just drop in.

***

Knox County Council PTA

So have these changes boosted academic outcomes? Trent says yes, but stresses that it’s all about timing.

The standards were changed the year before he came to Central. Under the old standards, Central students were cruising with 60 to 70 percent proficiency. With the tougher standards, the percentages plummeted.

In an apples-to-apples comparison over the past four years: ■ Graduation rate was 70 percent.

Now it’s 87.5 percent.

■ Biology proficiency was 39 percent. Now it’s 72 percent.

■ Algebra I proficiency was 25 percent. Now it’s 57 percent.

■ ACT scores are up from 19 to 21.5.

■ Enrollment has grown from about 1,050 to 1,125.

Trent uses sports terminology to explain his style. “I’m a recruiter. I hired teachers here that I’d want my own kids to have. … Sometimes you have good teams that don’t win,” he said, explaining his staff turnover. “Sometimes you can go stale.”

He invited former principal Jon Miller back to the first graduation. “It was a healing point,” he said. When Trent was sent to Central he decided, “If I can love this school just half as much as Jon does, then I’ll be OK.” He encountered a frosty reception from a staff that strongly supported Miller. He just plunged in, attending every student event possible.

“We set goals. I told (the faculty) I didn’t want to hear about schools out west or in Halls. We brought in instructional coaches (to help teachers).

We kept working harder and started working a little smarter.”

His after-hours efforts at Central robbed him of about 15 hours a week to spend with his own family, Trent estimates. “I’m fine with that and I didn’t ask for this transfer. I’m a team player, but it will be tough when I walk out this door for the last time.”

Trent’s family includes wife Karen, a veteran kindergarten teacher at Farragut Primary School; and daughters Danyelle, a senior at UT; Lauren, a junior at Maryville College; and Maddie, a recent graduate of Hardin Valley Academy and now a freshman at UT. What’s he walking into? Trent says Farragut is a strong community with a good school. Heather Karnes has been his colleague for 20 years and he’s already walked the campus with her.

Trent says he will always be grateful for the support he received from parents, staff and students at Central. “It’s been a good run.

“We can measure scores and achievement, but we cannot measure the heart,” he says. “But now it’s time for a new venture.”

Catchin’ up with Kyle

By Anne Hart Kyle Testerman calls the four years of his first term in office as Knoxville’s mayor “the best years of my life,” and adds with emphasis, as if anyone would doubt him, “I really mean it. Those were great years – for me, for my family and for the city.

“We had a lot of fun and we got a lot done for the good of this entire community for generations on down the road,” he says.

Relaxed and reflective at age 78, Testerman looks back on the years 1972-75 with a great deal of pride and satisfaction, mixed with a fair degree of amazement at all that was accomplished in such a short time.

Among highlights he points to are the passage of a liquor by the drink referendum, the appointment of the committee that brought the World’s Fair to the city in 1982, the creation of the Beck Cultural Center, and a trip to the White House to watch President Gerald Ford sign the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, which gave municipalities decisionmaking power over a number of previously federallycontrolled programs.

The first term Testerman doesn’t take all the credit for the successes of those four years.

“I had a lot of good people working for me at City Hall that first term, I had a pretty good relationship with City Council and there was also good support in the community for what we were doing.”

First elected to the office in 1971 at age 36, the brash, upstart young mayor had already served on City

Council, and was known for being outspoken and even outright defiant when he thought the situation called for it. On other occasions, his genteel Southern up-bringing would carry the day. He was skilled at knowing which tactic would best work to his advantage.

Knoxville didn’t have liquor by the drink when Testerman took office. His predecessor, Leonard Rogers, had opposed the voter referendum required to bring it about, but Testerman felt strongly that the change was necessary to attract new business and bring needed dollars to city coffers.

To make certain the vote went his way, the mayor sent police officers all over town to shut down the numerous small bars operating as “private clubs” where liquor was being served surreptitiously – and illegally.

Testerman says that after that was done he didn’t think it was quite fair that the members of the three country clubs in town – Cherokee, Deane Hill and Holston Hills – could imbibe in those facilities,

but “working stiffs” had no place to get a drink. He leaned on his friends to shut down the bars at the country clubs, and the referendum passed by a margin of almost two to one.

Skilled in financial matters, Testerman set about finding other ways to bring cash to the city. The potential for tourist dollars that a zoological park would bring came to mind.

The joke around town at the time was that the Knoxville Zoo consisted of a couple of cows and a monkey or two. That wasn’t much of a stretch. Testerman hired Guy L. Smith III and told him to build a real zoo.

Money was appropriated, land was purchased, plans were drawn, facilities were built for animals, and a few years later, Knoxville had a modern zoo that brought in tourists and their dollars.

That expansion and growth has continued. Today the zoo is a world-class attraction expected to generate some $25 million in revenue this year.

Testerman was also determined to stop any waste he could find in city government. When he heard that a lot of employees driving

Kyle Testerman: a short bio Kyle Testerman was born in Knoxville in 1935 and grew up in the Ft. Sanders area. He graduated from The McCallie School in Chattanooga and received undergraduate and law degrees from UT. A businessman and attorney, he was serving on City Council when elected mayor of Knoxville in 1971. Sworn into office in 1972, he served until 1976.

He held the office a second time from 1984 to 1987.

Testerman is retired and spends time at his homes in North Carolina and Knoxville. His children – Muffet Testerman Buckner, Ben Testerman and Janet Testerman – all live in Knoxville.

city vehicles weren’t putting in a full day’s work, he had city cars painted in what can best be termed “Easter egg colors,” – bright robin’s egg blue, neon yellow and other hues easy for the mayor to spot as he drove around town. After all, no automobile manufacturer was selling vehicles in such horrendous shades.

The mayor can laugh about it now, recalling that he found more than a few of those cars parked at bars around town. But at the time he was dead serious.

Imagine the shock when the mayor walked in to surprise the drivers and take away their car keys.

one day after hours, poked a finger in the mayor’s chest, and angrily told him, “Blood is going to run in the streets of Knoxville because of you.”

Testerman says he poked the man right back and suggested he turn around and take a look at the two very large and heavily armed Knoxville police officers who had quietly arrived in the outer office. “I told him ‘you had better get out of town fast or it’s going to be your blood running in the streets.’”

Testerman chuckles, recalling that he later heard the fellow called federal officials to ask for protection – and quickly left town.

The mayor set the example: at one point, he Moving toward worked 24 straight hours the 20th Century on a truck with no sleep.

The next individual who Nearly 40 years later, Testerman now reveals that gave it a try was a manager during the strike a union at Cherokee Country Club organizer out of Memphis who tried to block entry to swaggered into his office an invited guest when Tes-

terman, a long time club member, hosted a Christmas party there for his City Hall staff.

Bob Booker, local civil rights leader, former state legislator and well-respected historian, was the staffer. He was the mayor’s legislative liaison. At that time no black person had ever been admitted as a guest at the club. Testerman stood his ground and Booker made history.

The mayor’s next challenge was, as he said at the time, “to bring Knoxville kicking and screaming into the 20th century.”

West Town Mall had opened, suburban shopping centers were going up from one end of the county to the other, and downtown was suffering mightily. Stewart Evans of the Downtown Knoxville Association appealed to the mayor to take steps to try to save downtown merchants.

That was when Testerman named the committee to explore the possibility of bringing a World’s Fair to Knoxville. He appointed 19 members to the group and named as chair another brash young man – banker Jake Butcher.

Testerman served another term as mayor from 1984 to 1987. In a strange twist of fate, his major challenge then was untangling the financial mess and looming city debt left after the World’s Fair closed and the Butcher banking empire collapsed.

When asked about highlights of that second term, which included the merger of city and county schools, he says only, “It wasn’t nearly as much fun.”

(Note: Writer Anne Hart covered Testerman’s first term as a reporter for the Knoxville News Sentinel.

She later worked on his staff.)

Vietnam veteran Ed Langston volunteered to play the piano following the unveiling of Elmcroft West’s Gallery of Honor.

“There are too many vets that are unknown,” said Langston.

“Any honors are good.” Langston said he came back from war to an angry America where people were upset with those who served. “Times have changed,” he said. “I remember having bricks thrown at me back then.”

Elmcroft resident and Navy veteran Alvin Williams visited with his son, Vietnam veteran Alvin “Willie” Williams Jr., and his sister, Linda Scimonelli, after the unveiling of the facility’s Gallery of Honor.

Elmcroft West Healthy Lifestyles director Lindsay Wolburg created each memorial by hand for the Gallery of Honor after collecting photos from residents and their families. Each veteran was given a pair of scissors to help cut the ribbon to officially open the display. Afterward, each was given a piece of the ribbon.

Networking with U.S. Cellular U.S. Cellular has Knoxville roots, and the Turkey Creek store celebrated those roots with a Farragut West Knox Chamber networking morning on May 30.

The parking lot was full, and a large crowd enjoyed the bagels, fruit and juice offered for the 8 a.m. chamber event. Chamber executive assistant Julie Predny stood in for CEO Bettye Sisco, who was not able to attend due to illness.

Melanie Lawson, sales manager for the Turkey Creek store, told the group that Knoxville was U.S. Cellularâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first market in 1983.

The Turkey Creek store has been open since 2004.

Lawson also promoted the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s small business package and told the group of the corporationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commitment to the community and to education. The Calling All Communities program has

Mannis said every big business started off small.

He quoted the late Steve Jobs: â&#x20AC;&#x153;You need a lot of passion for what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so hard. Without passion, any rational person would give up.â&#x20AC;?

Mannis started his dry cleaning business in 1985 with one store and preowned equipment.

He studied accounting in night and weekend classes at Maryville College. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had no idea what I was doing and remember so many nights going home and thinking, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I just physically canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do this anymore.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Like every new business owner I also faced financial challenges. But I really had no choice but to go forward.â&#x20AC;?

Today, Prestige operates 11 locations in Knox and Anderson counties with more than 140 employees, five delivery routes, a shoe repair division, and disaster restoration operations in

Knoxville and Nashville.

Small businesses contribute mightily to the economy, he said. Nationally, 28 million small businesses (those with 500 or fewer employees) employ 57 percent of the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s private workforce and pay 44 percent of the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s payroll.

Mannis has returned to Prestige Cleaners, which is poised to make a major acquisition, he said.

His advice to small business owners: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Work hard, provide excellent customer service, take care of your employees, always be ethical and make a difference in the community.â&#x20AC;?

Most know of Mannisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work to bring HonorAir to Knoxville. He also sponsors Project Classroom, which has donated $90,000 to schools locally.

So long, Eddie. Keep up the good work. I wish we could find a place for you in government. Knoxville and Knox County would be better for it.

Pizza, partners and the Maddio girls FHS alums open new restaurant

By Sherri Gardner Howell The promise of a free dinner, the chance at free pizza for a year, door prizes and all the excitement of a grand opening were all in play on May 24 when Tennessee’s first Uncle Maddio’s Pizza Joint opened in Northshore Town Center.

But one of the biggest thrills was getting to meet the soon-to-be famous Maddio girls!

Four partners – all Farragut High School and University of Tennessee graduates – have joined to open the first franchise for Maddio’s in the state. Bryan Begbie, Ryan Griffith, Glen Lax and Lane Griffith did considerable promotion prior to their opening in the press and on Facebook, featuring three little girls they dubbed the Maddio Girls.

Everyone was wondering – just who were the Maddio Girls?

“They are my nieces, Lane’s daughters,” said Begbie, with a laugh. “The Maddio girls are Reagan, Brooklyn and Landry Griffith.”

All the promotions must have worked, as customers were lined up along the sidewalk at Northshore Town Center for the grand opening.

Everyone in line when the doors opened was entered to win a coupon for free pizza for a year.

“The coupons are good for 52 pizzas,” said Begbie, “and we don’t put any restrictions on how and when they are used. One winner

was a 4-year-old who has a family of eight. They use several coupons when they come it and have a free meal for the family.”

Other winners may want to use several for a pizza party at school or for friends, said Begbie. “They have 52 pizzas and a year to use them.”

Begbie said he knew what was special about Uncle Maddio’s pizzas, but has still learned a lot in these first weeks.

“What sets us apart is that we specialize. We build your pizza right in front of you to your specifications.

You are watching us, and, if you want a little more cheese, just say so.

“We make the dough upfront, cook the meats right there.

“And our pizzas have a six minute cook time, thanks to our high temperature conveyer-belt oven.”

Begbie describes the Maddio crust as “Neapolitan, New York style – medium crispy and puffy around the edges.” They offer regular, gluten-free and whole wheat crusts, six sauces, seven cheeses, 27 vegetables and 15 meats. Sizes for the pizzas are kids’ size, adult individual, medium and extra large.

The gluten-free crust has really been a surprise in its popularity, said Begbie. “It has already been a great seller and created some very loyal customers who have been back several times. I have had to quadruple our order for ingredients to make the gluten-free crust since we opened.”

Enjoying the excitement of Uncle Maddio’s Pizza Joint’s grand opening is partner and chef Bryan Begbie.

The pizza joint also has salads, paninis and sandwiches. “Try the chicken salad,” suggested Begbie.

Community involvement is important and has already begun, said Begbie.

On June 1, the restaurant donated 50 percent of the day’s profits to the Northshore Elementary School playground campaign.

Uncle Maddio’s is located at 2052 Town Center Boulevard in the new Northshore Town Center at the intersection of Northshore Drive and Pellissippi Parkway.

Medical director named Provision Center for Proton Therapy has named Marcio Fagundes, M.D., as medical director. A board-certified radiation oncologist, he comes to Knoxville from the ProCure Proton Therapy Center in Oklahoma City where he has practiced proton therapy and conducted significant research. He will start Fagundes his new role on July 15.

“The addition of Dr. Fagundes as medical director is an important step in building our team of proton therapy experts,” said Mary Lou DuBois, president of Provision Center for Proton Therapy. Dr. Fagundes will be joining Provision Medical Group, led by Allen

Meek, M.D., radiation oncologist.

“One of the most rewarding aspects of being a proton therapy radiation oncologist is seeing patients who have been able to resume normal, active lives as cancer survivors. The opportunity to relocate to Knoxville and to provide proton therapy to this area is a privilege,” said Dr. Fagundes.

The Provision Center for Proton Therapy will begin treating patients in early 2014. The Provision Center for Proton Therapy is part of Provision Health Alliance’s comprehensive outpatient cancer treatment campus located just off Middlebrook Pike at Dowell Springs.

Dr. Fagundes will be the featured speaker at the Farragut West Knox Chamber of Commerce breakfast at 7:30 a.m. on July 23 at Fox Den Country Club.

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

TAVR procedure saves vacation for woman vexed by valve trouble Many heart murmurs are harmless, but sometimes an unusual sound signals a more serious problem.

Jean Spach had been faithful about going to her cardiologist, Dr. Mukesh Sharma, for a checkup every year. “I had a routine echocardiogram every year because I knew I had a heart murmur,” she said.

But in February 2012, the doctor grew concerned. “This time when he did the test, Dr. Sharma said it was severe,” said Spach. “Well I almost fell out of the chair! I said, ‘What are you talking about?’ I had no symptoms.”

Spach had developed aortic valve stenosis, a narrowing of the valve from the buildup of calcium on the valve’s flaps. This requires the heart to work harder to pump blood. Aortic valve stenosis most often occurs in people over 80. It tends to get worse over time and can lead to heart failure.

Many patients with aortic valve stenosis must have open-heart surgery to replace the valve, which involves cutting open the chest and months of recovery time.

“I told them, no, I was looking forward to a trip to Paris in April with my daughter! I didn’t want to interrupt that trip,” said Spach.

Spach did postpone the trip, however, and her doctor referred her to Parkwest Medical Center for a minimally-invasive procedure to replace the aortic valve, without cutting open the chest.

The procedure is called TAVR,

or transcatheter aortic valve replacement. So far, TAVR is only approved for people who would not tolerate traditional open-heart surgery and who meet a strict set of criteria.

On June 25, 2012, Spach became only the fifth person in East Tennessee to undergo TAVR, performed Dr. Chadwick W. Stouffer of the East Tennessee

Cagle named administrative director of nursing Lynn Cagle BSN has been promoted to administrative director of nursing at Parkwest where she will direct day-today nursing operations and oversee the directors of clinical services. Cagle will also have primary responsibility across the continuum for compliance with regulatory agencies including The Joint Commission as well as serving as a liaison for the Schools of Nursing and their Advisory Boards.

“Lynn has demonstrated loyalty and a commitment to clinical excellence and service excellence during her employment,” said senior vice president Janice McKinley. “She has embraced change and has led initiatives such as the development and implementation of hourly patient rounding for Parkwest and was instrumental in helping her nursing unit win a National Gold Achievement Award from Professional Research Consultants.”

McKinley said Cagle will also lead professional development and coaching for department

controlling the flow of blood through the heart.

After the procedure, Spach spent only three nights at Parkwest Medical Center.

“The care at Parkwest could not have been better,” she said. “I woke up in intensive care, and there was this beautiful young nurse at the foot of my bed with a table and a laptop, and she never moved, she was right there. She was lovely, everyone was lovely to me.”

And what about that trip to France?

Spach and her daughter, Evelyn Tolin, of Morro Bay, Calif., rescheduled their adventure and left on April 1, 2013. They spent two weeks exploring Paris, Versailles and Normandy. Spach said she was especially moved by the Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial.

“What an emotional experience that was for me,” said Spach, who was in high school during World War II. Jean Spach of Oak Ridge, 84, had her aortic valve replaced with “It was such a huge part of our lives and shaped everything we did.” a minimally invasive technique at Parkwest Medical Center.

Parkwest earns an ‘A’ in patient safety

Lynn Cagle BSN leaders, working with the Senior Leadership Team and staff to promote higher quality patient care.

Cagle has two decades of progressively responsible nursing experience, with the majority of those years at Parkwest. She has served Parkwest as Director of Medicine since 2008. Prior to that, Cagle was Nurse Manager on the Parkwest Cardiac Observation Unit from 2000-2008, also having served as a staff RN on the Critical Care Unit from 1998-2000.

Parkwest was one of 780 hospitals to receive an “A” score. Of the 2,514 general hospitals issued a Hospital Safety Score, 780 earned an “A,” 638 earned a “B,” 932 earned a “C,” 148 earned a “D” and 16 earned an “F.”

Parkwest Medical Center was recognized with an “A” Hospital Safety Score by The Leapfrog Group, an independent national nonprofit run by employers and other large purchasers of health benefits. The A score was awarded in the latest update to the Hospital Safety ScoreSM, the A, B, C, D or F scores assigned to U.S. hospitals based on preventable medical errors, injuries accidents and infections. The Hospital Safety Score was compiled under the guidance of the nation’s leading experts on patient safety. The first and only hospital safety rating to be peerreviewed in the Journal of Patient Safety (April 2013), Hospital Safety Score is designed to give the public information they can use to protect themselves and their families.

Calculated under the guidance of The Leapfrog Group’s eight-member Blue Ribbon Expert Panel, the Hospital Safety Score uses 26 measures of publicly available hospital safety data to produce a single score representing a hospital’s overall capacity to keep patients safe from infections, injuries, and medical and medication errors.

To see Parkwest’s scores as they compare nationally and locally, visit the Hospital Safety Score website at www. hospitalsafetyscore.org.

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.

It’s not local, but it’s not far. It’s not cheap, but it won’t break the bank. And it’s worth every penny.

Carol’s Critter Corner You can go swimming with beluga whales. I did, last August, at The Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta.

“Swimming” may be a bit of a stretch. Participants actually stand waist-deep in chilly water on a ledge at the edge of the gigantic beluga tank. The whales come to you. And you’ll never forget

the sight of that big white beauty heading straight toward you for the first time!

Before you get in the water, you go through a short educational program, starting with a video. The trainers tell you more about the whales and answer any questions.

One of the most important things to learn is that this activity is planned for the whales’ benefit. Because they’re captive, they must occasionally submit to veterinary care. Therefore, they need to be comfortable with the presence and touch of humans.

Captive belugas are found in only nine aquariums nationwide. The care of these animals, and the observation that goes with it, helps all beluga populations.

As you’ve probably heard, they’re quite smart. They get bored just like humans do, and they need stimulation and activity. The trainers and

will have much to see and do. They (and maybe you?) can even crawl right into the middle of a penguin habitat and pop their heads up to see what’s going on!

And don’t miss “Dolphin Tales,” a live show that will take your breath away.

For those who want a more intensive experience, there is a rich variety of interactive programs (ticketed and purchased in advance) for all ages and abilities, including “Beluga and Friends.”

Trained scuba divers can access the Ocean Voyage exhibit, home of the whale sharks, earth’s biggest fish. It takes a big tank to hold them; in fact, it’s the largest indoor exhibit of fish in the world, holding 6.3 million gallons. The whale sharks are so big (up to 35 feet long) that your jaw will hit the floor the first time you see one, yet they’re gentle plant eaters with a gullet the size of a dime!

If you’re looking for a vacation option a little closer to home this year, you can’t beat The Georgia Aquarium.

NEWS FROM PROVISION HEALTH & WELLNESS

Massage Menu of Services ■ Relaxation - For stress relief or pampering ■ Sports and Rehabilitation - with the goal of promoting tissue repair in addition to relaxation.

New massage therapist

joins the Provision team

■ Deep Tissue - Targets the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue.

■ Lymphatic Drainage Massage - Lymph massage, also known in variations as Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) or Lymph Drainage Therapy (LDT), is a gentle, relaxing form of massage that helps the body’s lymphatic system get moving again while reinforcing immune function. It aids in the flow of lymphatic fluid to aid in immune system function. Often sought after surgery, it can assist in the healing process and ensure that lymphatic fluid doesn’t stop flowing.

■ Myofascial - Works on the connective tissue, ironing it out, releasing the tension and promoting flexibility.

■ Aromatherapy Massage - We use nine organic, medical-grade essential oils on the spine and feet.

This promotes improvement of the immune system and spinal health.

■ Trigger/NMT - A tender spot is found in the belly of the muscle.

It is seen as an on/off switch and is released by applying pressure to the point. Not always a comfortable process but definitely a therapeutic modality that promotes healing and flexibility.

Info: 232-1414.

Common reasons for seeking out a Licensed Massage Therapist ■ Helps to relieve muscular spasms and tension ■ Raises and improves immune system efficiency

Massage is a time-tested method for healing injuries, relieving pain and preventing illness. It also helps to reduce stress and produce deep relaxation. The newest member of the Provision Health and Wellness staff, Malynda A. Barakadyn, makes this her focus by

providing highly specialized massage services.

“Massage can improve your life, free your body from pain, promote flexibility, refresh your mind and uplift your soul,” says Malynda.

One method Malynda uses is reflexology, which involves applying pressure to the hands, feet or ears

using specific thumb, finger and hand techniques.

The nervous system begins at the brain and travels out to the extremities of the body, specifically the feet, hands, ears and scalp. Along the way, the nerves come in contact with organs, glands and other systems of the body.

Reflexology clears those nerve pathways through specific touch techniques.

“Some issues can be relieved in a single session, but most often it takes time to reverse what it took time to create,” Malynda says.

“Ultimately, it is relaxing and refreshing every time,” she adds.

■ Improves blood and lymph circulation ■ Promotes tissue healing ■ Increases the healthy functioning of skin ■ Engenders profound relaxation ■ Offers emotional reassurance ■ Improves appearance ■ Sports and work-related injuries and post-illness and surgery support
