A special camp for special friends

Carson’s loss in perspective So if Jason Zachary beat Karen Carson because it was God’s will, then it follows that God doesn’t like Insure Tennessee and strongly supports school vouchers.

And it confirms something I’ve long suspected: God really does favor Baptists over Methodists.

Alzheimer’s trial The Knoxville community knows all too well that earlyonset Alzheimer’s can strike successful and quick-thinking people, as it did University of Tennessee coach Pat Summitt.

A new program at the Davis Family Y at Jefferson Park will study the effects of exercise, brain stimulation and socialization on those diagnosed with the disease.

The first indication that early-onset Alzheimer’s is near may come from a brain scan.

See movies in a whole new way Nowadays, you never have to leave your house to see a movie.

That’s what Paul Harrill and Darren Hughes are afraid of.

More and more, film watchers are giving up on movie theaters – which don’t offer much variety anyway – and staying home to view either streaming movies or ones on DVD.

Special-education teacher and Karns Church of Christ member Kim Higginbotham has worked with many special-needs children over the years. After doing some research, she discovered about 80 percent of the families never attended church service of any kind.

The reasons they gave were varied, said Higginbotham, including “their child wasn’t welcomed in any of the children’s activities; their child was wheeled into the corner and left there until they were picked up; or their child cannot handle sensory overload.”

Parents had also made attempts to find someone to care for their child during Bible class, but they were told the church wasn’t responsible for finding babysitters.

Higginbotham decided to take matters into her own hands.

Surveys were sent to families in several congregations around town asking whether their congregation offered any special services or programs for the child or their parents and whether they have been offered any outreach services within the community for special-needs children.

Autism event at Barnes & Noble

By Wendy Smith An organization that serves families of autistic children is partnering with Barnes & Noble, located in the Suburban Shopping Center, to host an Autism Family Fun & Safety Event this Saturday (Aug. 22).

The free event, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., is open to the public. Art activities, sensory-friendly dance

and music lessons, a book fair and a story time, which will kick off a monthly autism-friendly story time, will be offered inside the store.

Outdoors, visits with community safety personnel, and a firetruck from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., will help children become more comfortable with safety vehicles.

Information about special needs swim programs will also be avail-

able. Children with autism are four times more likely to suffer fatal accidents during childhood and seven times more likely to drown than their peers, says Veronica Cordell, president of Artistic Spectrum.

The local nonprofit was formed to provide fine arts opportunities to children with autism, but has expanded its scope to offer more

information and events. A new website, www.artisticspectrum. org, received 2,000 hits the day it went live last week.

Isolation is a major challenge for families with autistic children, Cordell says.

“Autistic parents supporting other autistic parents makes the biggest difference in the lives of autistic children and their families.”

Church and state and zoning

By Betty Bean Last week, the Northside Church of Christ in Heiskell, facing a Metropolitan Planning Commission staff recommendation to deny its request to rezone its property from low density residential to commercial, removed the proposition from MPC’s August agenda just hours before the meeting.

In deep West Knoxville, neighbors who oppose First Baptist Concord’s request to rezone 26.4 acres at 9635 Westland Drive from public institutional/planned residential to commercial are hunkered down until October, awaiting the results of a traffic study conducted while schools are in session that will consider the effects a shopping center could have on the neighborhood.

Meanwhile, North Knoxville neighborhoods are organizing to fight a chain of events triggered

by Centerpointe Church’s decision to sell out to a developer who also proposes to buy the iconic Howard house next door and build a “neighborhood” Walmart on its North Broadway location. A 24hour payday loan company is already under construction on the south end of the formerly churchowned parcel and a popular independent Apple computer shop that has been there for 37 years will be displaced. Even though there is considerable commercial activity here, the developer will need to get the property rezoned to accommodate the new use.

In Inskip, the new owner of a former church building long abandoned by its Presbyterian congregation and surrounded by single-family homes was successful in getting the parcel rezoned from low density residential to office over the protests of its nearest neighbors.

Churches enjoy a special status under city and county zoning ordinances. The city allows them to move into residential neighborhoods, subject to use on review requirements. County zoning regulations are similar for residential neighborhoods and allow them as a permitted use in agricultural zones (use on review is required in city Ag zones).

But problems between churches and neighborhoods are becoming more common as churches decide to relocate, expand or disband and attempt to maximize their profits on the real estate market.

Former City Council member Carlene Malone says it’s time to reconsider churches’ legal status.

“We’re not looking at churches as perhaps they really are today.

We need to realize that this is not the little neighorhood church that’s going to stick around forever. It’s a

business model. Land is held like a portfolio, and when the time comes to sell, even though they bought it at residential or agricultural prices, they want to sell it commercial – at commercial prices.”

Malone said that modern mega churches are a far cry from the traditional concept of churches that are active on Sundays and Wednesday nights.

“These are not small uses – not to say they are bad things – but their impact is greater than the old neighborhood churches. The other thing is, what happens when they leave?

Do we continue to allow them as use on review in residential neighborhoods because we think they have low impacts, when actually they may well be seeking to expand – and if they don’t expand, they may well move? Or is it time we start looking at them as the business

Celebrating golf and Fox Den Once again, the town of Farragut and Fox Den Country Club will play host to the Web.com PGA tour event.

%*

" ! ! ' !

Malcolm Shell

This gives both the town and Fox Den the opportunity to showcase their community and championship golf course to more than 30,000 visitors and players from across the nation and around the world. Typically, as many as 30 countries are represented in the Open which has been described as the “proving ground� for the big tour.

Indeed, many of the top ranked pros began their professional career on the Web.com tour. These include such names as Zack Johnson, 2015 winner of the British Open, John Daly, and a host of others too numerous to mention.

The News Sentinel Knoxville Open is the oldest venue on the tour, and the professional players, many of whom have won such majors as the Masters, PGA and U.S. Open, all have favorable comments about Fox Den golf course, the town of Farragut, and especially the hospitable attitude of the local citizens who host them in their homes during their stay here.

But two of the most frequently asked questions from both players and visitors are: “How did the course get started?� and “How did the developers arrive at the name Fox Den?�

And it is only fitting that the event now be called the News Sentinel Open, because the former legendary sports editor Tom Siler was very much involved in its development.

began. The original development had nine holes and a clapboard, two-story farm house on the property was renovated and converted to a club house. Construction on the back nine holes was then started and completed in late 1969.

Since that humble beginning, two additional facilities have been built that include the present beautiful clubhouse, built in 1995, and the original clubhouse, built in 1969, which now houses a state-of-the-art health facility, tennis pro shop and adjacent tennis courts.

Massey was an excellent athlete who excelled in golf and was an avid outdoorsman. He often hunted on the acquired property before the development began, and commented on the abundance of quail. So his original intent was to call the development “Quail Run.� But the land was also noted as a great fox hunting area by the locals. He then heard a story about several fox hunters who had built a fire and were sitting around telling stories. Suddenly, a fox ran right through the middle of them. The startled fox hunters never had time to react. He then decided to call it Fox Den. Perhaps the most rewarding benefit of the Open to Fox Den members and village residents is that it provides a festive atmosphere and the opportunity to get together with old friends and welcome some of the players who return each year.

But the real benefit is to the retail and service establishments in the town who prosper from the influx of visitors who infuse money into the area. I doubt that Massey would have ever dreamed that his course would one day host a PGA Tour event, but I am sure he would have enjoyed playing in the Pro-Am, and I am sure the pros would have appreciated his golfing ability.

rounding village was the dream of Knoxville insurance executive Chester Massey, who just wanted to build one of the finest golf courses in the area. But after visiting many other courses in the southeast, he realized that the trend was to build a community around the course which would give homeowners an opportunity to live and play in their own “back yard� as he described it.

Massey began by determining the amount of land required and then started placing options on the properties he needed.

His first acquisition was a large parcel owned by Dr. Martin Davis, a friend of Massey and co-founder of Park West Hospital. Massey would eventually place options on 11 parcels. And his efforts to obtain all the properties without arousing suspicion could be the subject of many different articles. Massey was afraid that if the owners realized his plans, they would raise the price on their properties which would make the project unfeasible.

Massey then hired golf course architect Willard Byrd, who had just finished designing several golf courses on Hilton Head Island, S. C., to inspect the property and draw up a design. Massey wanted the course to be challenging yet suitable for beginners and elderly players. After riding over the area, Byrd stated that: “This is one of the most beautiful pieces of land that I have had the opportunity to work with.

It has everything including beautiful mountain views, lakes, and long fairways.�

Massey then put together 40 individuals to buy into the project. Each put up a certain amount of cash and agreed to purchase a lot.

The list of names included some of the most influential citizens in both Knoxville and East Tennessee, and construction of the course

Karns fire department, at your service Have you ever closed your car door with a sickening feeling, knowing you’ve locked your keys in the car?

community Special Camp

Nancy Anderson

We caught up with Karns firefighters Aaron Bousquet and Chassity Pollard rescuing car keys in the parking lot of Kirby’s Nursery.

That’s nothing new for the men and women of Karns Fire Department (KFD.) They assist with lockouts weekly.

Fire chief Daron Long said on rare occasions they’ve had to rescue a pet from a locked car, but the majority of lockout calls are from people who simply stepped out of the vehicle leaving the keys, and everything else, behind.

That’s not all KFD does for the community.

Says Long: “We go out on EMS (emergency medical services) calls with a fully equipped fire engine.

Of course it holds all the necessary equipment for firefighting, but we’re also EMTs or paramedics, so the engine also carries everything an ambulance carries.

“Thanks to subscriptions and a generous donation from a Hardin Valley resident, the engines are now equipped with pet oxygen masks and there is a new, bigger, better organized fire engine due to arrive in October to better serve the Hardin Valley area.”

Long also said one of their favorite services is child car-seat inspections

in conjunction with Children’s Hospital. Certified KFD personnel make sure the seats are safe and working correctly.

Long said the KFD is prepared to do just about anything that needs to be done to keep people safe and serve the community, except rescue cats from trees.

“We don’t climb trees; that’s just too big a liability.

But we are prepared and happy to do just about anything that needs to be done to keep people safe, including rescuing your car keys.”

model they actually operate under rather than looking at them as enhancements to neighborhoods?”

The First Baptist Concord rezoning battle is likely to be epic.

The property in question – at 9635 Westland Drive, 5.7 miles from the church’s Kingston Pike address – has a long history of zoning fights, dating back to 1988 when neighbors opposed to placing a Pellissippi Parkway exit ramp there battled developers to the state Supreme Court. It later became part of the city after a “finger annexation,” and attorney Wayne Kline has been involved at every step along the way.

He is representing opponents of the First Baptist rezoning request and believes the traffic study will show that commercial development will be harmful to the neighborhood.

“There’s lots of room for commercial at Northshore,” he said. “Why do you have to bring in a commercial component to Westland? I think a good traffic study will say you can’t put commercial development in here and hopefully MPC will do their job and make sure things are done properly. The purpose of zoning regulations is compatibility.”

Ultimately, the issue will

land on City Council’s agenda. Council member Mark Campen, whose district includes the Inskip area as well as North Broadway, and who opposed the rezoning request for the former Presbyterian church, said he’ll consider the Westland issues carefully.

“We need to look at when is it OK to open up residential areas to commercial uses,” he said. The owner (of the former church in Inskip) swore that the use wasn’t going to go to anything more intense, but we just can’t foretell the future.

We’ve got to be very careful about how we rezone.”

No one from First Baptist Concord (which has nearly 80 employees listed in its online directory) responded to phone calls or emails, but it is represented by attorney Arthur Seymour Jr., who said he’s not sure what the flap is about. “(The Centerpointe site) is a good place for a commercial center. It’s an interstate interchange.

Obviously there are some issues, and we’ll wait for the traffic study. But it’s a good project and a great location.”

Seymour declined comment when asked why First Baptist owns real estate nearly six miles distant from its campus.

Each child will have at least one volunteer “buddy” to help them participate.

“Oh my, we’ve had so many volunteers … our first meeting, 40 showed up and another 20 just couldn’t make it to that particular meeting. Everyone’s really excited,” she said.

If the camp is successful, Higginbotham would like to plan additional events throughout the year for special-needs families including a day this December.

“Forever His” Special Needs Day Camp will be held 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Saturday, Oct. 3, at Karns Church of Christ, 6612 Beaver Ridge Road. There is limited enrollment. Deadline for registration is Saturday, Sept. 19. Forms are available online at karnscoc.org/forever-his-special-needs-day-camp/.

“Special-needs kids are born sinless as we all are, but unlike the rest of us, they never let sin defile them. They live their lives in innocence and come to the end of their lives just as pure and safe as babies.

They truly are forever His,” says H igginbotham. ig says Higginbotham.

Analyzing Alzheimer’s Davis Y launches first of kind study program progress of Alzheimer’s. The program will combine those components and monitor regular brain scans by the participants’ physicians to measure success.

Group members will exercise three to four times a week, focusing on balance, coordination and cardio improvement. Also offered will be activities that stimulate cognitive improvement and social gatherings such as line-dancing, bridge and lunch outings. The program will educate both the client and the caregiver.

In addition to group participants, the Y is also looking for volunteers to provide assistance. The volunteers should be 45 to 75 years old.

The responses Higginbotham received showed a bare cupboard for specialneeds children and their families. “As the church, we should be looking for ways to minister to all people, so I thought we could surely find a way to make a place for these precious children.”

Best and worst of times This Tennessee football team has the potential to do something significant.

Oh no, it does not project as a participant in the national playoffs but it could win nine games. That would be the best since 2007, next to last season for Phillip Fulmer.

These Volunteers could be precursors to really good times. If Butch Jones and his staff can coach as well as they recruit, this season will be one big step toward Southeastern Conference relevance, a future top 10 in the polls, even an occasional victory over Alabama, Florida and Georgia.

The brick-by-brick building job was impressive. Now

Marvin West

comes the harder part, going chin to chin with the big boys without backing or getting knocked down.

Tennessee fans have waited impatiently for a return of the good, old days.

Butch can only guess how it will be when that mission is officially accomplished.

Keep in mind that I am only 81. I missed the first peak of the Neyland era and did not fully grasp Bob Suf-

fridge’s description of 193840, SEC champs, 31-2 overall, 15 consecutive games without permitting a point.

This was the time of George Cafego, Bowden Wyatt and Ed Molinski, all, along with Suff, in the College Football Hall of Fame.

I saw clearly 1950 and 1951, Doug Atkins, Hank Lauricella, John Michels, playing their way to the Hall, national champs, 21-2 overall. My view was unobstructed. It helped to have a cousin on the team.

One year after Wyatt came as coach, the 1956 Volunteers were terrific.

John Majors led the charge, perfect regular season, less perfect in the Sugar Bowl.

I thought this was the launch of another dominant period. It wasn’t. The best of times turned into one of the worst as Wyatt declined, the Vols sagged, Chattanooga staged an ungodly upset, single-wing tailbacks were hard to find and Ole Miss threw into the flat and exposed the 6-2-2-1 defense.

Doug Dickey restored order. I still think Steve Kiner, Jack Reynolds and Jackie Walker were the best linebacker trio I have seen. That was 1969.

Dickey went away. Bob Woodruff erred in choosing bright, young (very young) end coach Bill Battle as his replacement.

Battle did fine with

Dickey’s recruits. Those Vols thrashed Dickey’s first Florida team and walloped undefeated Air Force in the Sugar Bowl. Ah yes, those were good times.

Erosion was measured by one less victory per year.

Majors was Tennessee coach from 1977 through 1992. This was an up and down era. He won eight in his fifth season, nine in ’83, gave us the legendary Sugar Vols in 1985 and peaked in 1989-90.

Simple summation of the Fulmer years: 100 more wins than losses, national championship, best of times. Butch Jones has heard about this. He may have seen video of Peyton Manning or Al Wilson or some of the great offensive linemen.

Fulmer was a first-bal-

lot Hall of Fame honoree.

His teams beat up on Alabama. They had trouble with Florida.

Firing Fulmer without a plan led to the absolute worst of times. Lane Kiffin was a bad joke. Derek Dooley was … well, let’s just say some of the scores and stats were horrible, worst in the forever history of Tennessee football. Forget not that a really good day was spoiled by the chaotic inability to count to 11. Do remember that Kentucky won with a reserve receiver playing quarterback.

From that mess, Butch Jones has rebuilt the Volunteers. You may not recognize alternate uniforms but results should appear more like the Tennessee scoreboard is supposed to look.

Marvin West invites reader reaction. His address is westwest6@netzero.com.

Green reaches out to neighborhoods Gerald Green, the new director of the Metropolitan Planning Commission, is following through with his commitment to keep in touch with neighborhoods.

Last week, he told members of the city’s Neighborhood Advisory Council that he’s aware of the “challenges” of his predecessor, Mark Donaldson, and he wants communication to flow both ways.

“I have lots of years of experience, but I don’t know what Knoxville wants. You have to create the vision.”

The Neighborhood Advisory Council is composed of neighborhood leaders appointed by Mayor Madeline Rogero. The group meets monthly to give feedback to the Office of Neighborhoods, bring issues to the attention of the administration and serve as a sounding board for city initiatives.

Neighborhoods “define who you are in the com-

Wendy Smith

munity,” but they tend to break down and become less defined as areas grow, Green says. He plans to look at ways to protect neighborhoods, which are affected by development along corridors.

Certain businesses, like “alternative financing” institutions, ref lect badly on nearby neighborhoods.

Communities like Fourth and Gill “pay the price” for easy interstate access with high levels of traffic noise.

Balancing those issues is a tough job for MPC, he says.

Corridors present a number of challenges. He plans to look at ways to encourage new development and rede-

velopment of property along corridors like Chapman Highway and Broadway that will benefit nearby neighborhoods.

Green thinks diversity of housing is one of Knoxville’s strengths. The current trend is a preference for smaller, lower-maintenance housing with walkability.

That needs to be considered when corridors are developed because they need to offer walkability while still serving those in cars.

Looking at Knoxville and Knox County zoning code is like stepping into a time machine, he says. The code isn’t keeping up with current trends and needs to be re-examined, but that would stretch the MPC’s small staff.

Dealing with two sets of ordinances is a challenge.

the city of Asheville, he spent four years on a complete rewrite of the city code. Such an endeavor here would require an enormous amount of staff time, but he thinks it may be necessary for development to happen “the way it should.” He’d recommend hiring a consultant.

“You don’t make a lot of friends doing that.”

He took notes as representatives shared neighborhood concerns. Lauren Rider of Old North Knoxville says that those who want to open new businesses on Central have to choose between rezoning or requesting a variance in order to redevelop. David Gillette of Mechanicsville says his neighbors want to know about possible redevelop-

ment on the Knoxville College campus. Travetta Johnson said Parkridge residents are concerned that the new owner of a neighborhood church building will allow it to languish.

Green said he would stay in touch with neighborhood coordinator David Massey and attend, or send staff members, to future neighborhood meetings.

Dear God (and other prayers) So if Jason Zachary beat Karen Carson because it was God’s will, then it follows that God doesn’t like Insure Te n n e s s e e and strongly supports Karen Carson s c h o o l vouchers.

And it confirms some-

thing we’ve long suspected: God really does favor Baptists over Methodists.

In Nashville’s Legislative Plaza, word has gone forth.

Gov. Haslam is toothless, and Insure Tennessee is a pathway to defeat. Never mind the myriad of local issues and personalities that had more to do with the outcome of this race.

And, dear God, why should a minuscule vote in

one of Tennessee’s most affluent districts determine the fate of health insurance for the working poor?

Oh, the irony.

Also, we salute the school voucher proponents who stood shoulder to shoulder with public school teachers who will be hurt most by a legislatively mandated voucher program. Way to go, teachers. Guess you showed Karen Carson!

‘We Pray for Children’

By Ina Hughes We pray for children Who put chocolate fingers everywhere, Who like to be tickled, Who stomp in puddles and ruin their new pants, Who sneak Popsicles before supper, Who erase holes in math workbooks, Who can never find their shoes.

Who hug us in a hurry and forget their lunch money, Who squeeze toothpaste all over the sink, Who slurp their soup.

Sandra Clark

So we all move on.

Let’s stop praying for politicians and start praying for kids.

And let’s start with the absolutely best such prayer I’ve heard. It’s from our friend Ina Hughs, “A Prayer for Children.”

Who squirm in church and scream on the phone, Whose tears we sometimes laugh at and whose smiles can make us cry.

And we pray for those Whose nightmares come in the daytime, Who will eat anything, And we pray for those Who have never seen a dentist, Who never get dessert, Who are never spoiled by anyone, Who have no safe blanket to drag beWho go to bed hungry and cry themhind them, selves to sleep, Who can’t find any bread to steal, Who live and move, but have no beWho don’t have any rooms to clean up, And we pray for those ing.

Who stare at photographers from be- Whose pictures aren’t on anybody’s dresser, hind barbed wire, We pray for children Who can’t bound down the street in Whose monsters are real.

Who want to be carried new sneakers, And for those who must, We pray for children Who never “counted potatoes,” For those we never give up on Who are born in places we wouldn’t Who spend all their allowance before And for those who never get a second Tuesday, be caught dead in, chance, Who throw tantrums in the grocery Who never go to the circus, For those we smother. store and pick at their food, Who live in an X-rated world.

And for those who will grab the hand Who like ghost stories, of anybody kind enough to offer it.

Who shove dirty clothes under the We pray for children bed, Who bring us sticky kisses and fistWe pray for children.

Who get visits from the tooth fairy, fuls of dandelions, Amen.

Longtime South Knox advocate to seek County Commission seat Carson Dailey has been involved in community issues for decades, and a South Knox advocate for longer than that, so it should surprise no one that he’s preparing to run for County Commission next year.

Betty Bean The timing is good since he will be stepping down from his seat on the county Board of Zoning Appeals, where he has served since 2009 when County Commission was hit with a court order that forced them to stop appointing themselves to the board, and to make it citizens-only.

He was also one of the first citizens to serve on the county’s Ethics Committee, a position he says was very good preparation to run for the county’s legislative body.

“I learned a lot in the past six years. Serving on

BZA is very interesting and I got a lot of training on zonings and how government works.”

Dailey has served as president of his homeowners’ group – South-Doyle Neighborhood Association – founded in the late ’70s by Mike Brown, the incumbent commissioner from District 9 who will leave the seat next year.

“When Mike Brown mentioned that he wasn’t going to seek re-election, we started talking around and my neighbors said, ‘You need to run.’ I said no, that I didn’t have the time. A few months ago, they asked me to run again. I said I’d do it, and so far there’s been a great response. I’ve got a lot of backing.”

Dailey, a 1978 graduate of South-Young High School, said he’s running because he loves Knox County – especially South Knoxville – and wants to make sure it gets its fair share of quality growth.

“South Knoxville’s still the biggest rural area we’ve got right now. We’ve lost our

Carson Dailey community schools. When they merged South and Young high schools together, the two communities went to one gigantic school, and it’s hard for a community to keep its identity when that happens.”

The summer after Dailey graduated from high school, he took a job at UT working on the Neyland Stadium maintenance crew doing painting, pressure washing and general cleanup. That September, he got a job as a truck driver with Dixie Bearings (now Applied Industrial Technologies). He

moved to an inside job the following year and by 1981, he had been promoted to account manager, a position he holds today.

He married Tammy Curtis, whom he calls his soulmate, 35 years ago. They have a son, Jeremy, who is a graphic designer.

Dailey had a setback in March, when he was diagnosed with kidney cancer and had a kidney removed.

He says the cancer was caught early on, and he feels pretty good nowadays, even though he had to give up a hardcore Mountain Dew habit.

If elected, he’s planning to approach County Commission with the same determination he has brought to BZA and to his fight against cancer.

“There’s not a better place to live than South Knoxville, and I want to make sure we get quality growth on the south side,” he said. “We’ve probably got 11-13 payday loan companies along Chapman Highway. I want to help get good quality businesses in here.”

Zachary overwhelms opposition Jason Zachary scored an impressive win last week taking the GOP primary for state representative over veteran school board member Karen Carson. He won in all but two precincts in the West Knox County district.

Carson was backed by Gov. Bill Haslam and state Sen. Richard Briggs. Insure Tennessee was made the primary issue of the campaign, and it lost. The sole public official openly backing Zachary was state Rep. Roger Kane, who offered sage advice.

Carson’s campaign donor list was a significant, impressive list of state and local VIPs. Even two Knoxville City Council Jason Zachary members, George Wallace and Finbarr Saunders, were on it.

Zachary had backing from Germantown state Sen. Brian Kelsey, who chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee, and several House legislative leaders such as Jeremy Durham and Glen Casada. However, his base donor list was not nearly as well known as Carson’s.

Zachary had run a surprisingly strong race just one year ago for Congress and actually carried Farragut. He kept that support and defeated a much better financed and more experienced officeholder (11 years on school board) this time.

He proved that high-powered endorsements do not equate to victory.

Knox County Commission is expected to appoint Zachary as state representative since he is unopposed in the Sept. 29 general election. He may have a special swearing-in ceremony in Farragut just as Sen. Becky Duncan Massey did in Fountain City after her election.

Zachary will seek a full term in August 2016, which means he will have campaigned for public office three times in three years.

Zachary, like his friend Rep. Kane, came out of nowhere to prevail. He is a new name on the political scene.

He will be a conservative voice in Nashville. A gas tax and Insure Tennessee will not have his vote. He supports Kane on restoring the Lady Vols name and requiring the UT Board of Trust-

ees to have a public forum at its board meetings.

■ The U.S. Senate confirmed Eric Satz of Nashville to the TVA Board of Directors on Aug. 5. The board now has nine members and for the first time in recent history not one is from East Tennessee, while two are from Nashville and Memphis each. Satz is controversial in Nashville but was unknown by U.S. Rep. Jim Cooper, who is a Democrat.

■ President Obama has also nominated Richard Howorth, a former mayor of Oxford, Miss., to a second term on the TVA Board.

He has the backing of the state’s two Republican senators and should be confirmed. His term expired last May, but he continues to the end of 2015.

■ Former NATO Ambassador Kurt Volker will speak at the Baker Center at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 25. The public is invited.

Volker, who now leads the McCain Institute at the University of Arizona, will discuss Iran, Greece and challenges for the United States in Europe.

■ Mary Costa was honored last Friday, Aug. 14, by Gov. Bill and Crissy Haslam in a private ceremony. She was one of 10 recipients of Tennessee’s highest honor in the arts. Costa was unable to attend the March 17 ceremony in Nashville, so the governor made a private presentation of the Distinguished Artist Award while he was in Knoxville dedicating the new Welcome Center at the Knoxville Botanical Gardens in East Knoxville (formerly Howell Nursery).

■ Over 300 people attended the dedication of the Welcome Center where Gov. Haslam, Mayor Burchett and Mayor Rogero spoke. The crowd was a cross-section of Knoxville.

Former county mayor Tommy Schumpert along with all five living Knoxville mayors were present.

Most of City Council were present, along with Sens. Briggs and Massey as well as Reps. Armstrong, Dunn, Smith, Kane and Brooks plus GOP nominee Zachary.

Flash, with Makeda Renfro-Sargent and STAR volunteer Susanna Dimmick, and Honey with STAR volunteer Donna Philips get ready to go inside. Makeda was visiting her great-grandmother, Frances Nixon.

The newest, cutest fashion statement has got to be tiny tennis shoes for miniature horses. Elders at The Courtyards Senior Living got to see them firsthand Aug. 10 when volunteers from Shangri-La Therapeutic Academy of Riding (STAR) brought a miniature horse and donkey for a visit.

Thanks to the invention of mini tennis shoes from Build-a-Bear and animal diapers, Flash the donkey and Honey the horse were allowed to make their way through the facility greeting the elders. “The horses don’t seem to mind the shoes at all,� said STAR volunteer Susanna Dimmick.

Many residents had donned their cowboy hats and bandannas and had been waiting patiently for the horses to arrive. Wade Clemons returned to the facility just as the horse and

donkey arrived. He was quick to buddy up to Flash. “They want me to come inside, but I don’t want to leave Flash,� he said.

Kathy Broggy is the life enrichment director at The Courtyards. She knows it is important to keep seniors actively engaged with animals. “One of our elders grew up on a ranch and she really wanted to see some horses, so we took a group to the Shangri-La ranch and they had the best time,� she said. “Having (STAR) visit us means those who couldn’t make the trip to the ranch will get to enjoy time with the horse and donkey right here.�

Broggy says bringing outside resources into a memory care facility is a mission of The Courtyards.

Family members said they appreciated the work by employees to keep the elders in continuing contact with

Faithful fishing

By Carolyn Evans Winning the $1,000 prize for the biggest catch keeps them coming back.

But there’s another “catch” for the 20 fishing enthusiasts who meet on Tuesday evenings for TNToad Fishing: devotions led by First Baptist Concord members and staff.

Tuesday Night Toad Fishing is a long-standing bass fishing tournament.

Jason McCormick is the TNToad tournament organizer.

When the Knoxville group gathers next to the

water, they hear a simple message from the FBC volunteers before getting out their crank bait and jigs in hopes of bringing in the biggest catch.

The ministry began in 2014 with volunteers from the Service Outreach department at First Baptist.

The group provided a picnic dinner, led devotions and was there for conversation about faith. At the end of the first season, which was from April through August, McCormick surveyed the participants, who said the devotions were their favorite

part of the evening. McCormick called Allen Krueger, director of Service Outreach at the church, and asked the team to come back for a second year.

Church members got started again this April. In addition to the devotion at the beginning of each tournament, the cooking team provided a picnic supper once a month. Don Ross and Gary Weaver led the cooking crew.

“I’m just a food guy,” said Ross. “I’m out there flipping hamburgers.” Ross, who is a retired airline pilot, got to the dock about 2 p.m. to cut lettuce and tomatoes and crank up the grill before each picnic. Ross and two other airline pilots, a few engineers from Oak Ridge

and a pharmacist laid out an impressive spread each month.

They ended the season on Aug. 11 with a feast, barbecuing five shoulders.

The devotions have led to many conversations and friendships with the fishermen, Krueger said. “We’ll sit around and talk, and some of the guys will ask us to pray about different things.

It’s been an incredible opportunity for us to share Christ in the community.

We’re not asking them to come to church. We’re meeting these guys where they are and sharing the gospel every week.”

McCormick said the church has already agreed to come back for a third season next April.

I am not an alarmist, but I am alarmed.

Scientists tell us that we are using (and abusing) the resources of the earth at rates that are unsustainable. There is a limit to what we can stain, gobble up, destroy, without destroying ourselves.

Even animals know not to foul their own nest!

John Muir was born 177 years ago this week.

He loved this earth, but more importantly, he respected it and understood its ecological balance.

He saw that we did not love Mother Earth as we should, and he foresaw the coming crisis.

There are those who scoff at global warming, who don’t fret about our casual use of resources, who couldn’t care less about how much oil we pump out of the ground.

However, there is a point of no return, a point at which we cannot reverse the damage. Then battles will be fought over

water, food, clothing and shelter. This will not be a war, but very personal, local fights for the necessities of life.

There will be extinction of entire species of animals, and that will ultimately include the human animal.

There was a time we feared the destruction of the earth by nuclear holocaust, which is still a possibility, perhaps less remote now than in the last 40 years. One nuclear scientist said then that he did not know what weapons would be used in World War III, but he was certain that World War IV would be fought with sticks and stones.

Safety is top priority Knox County Schools, the Knoxville Police Department and the Knox County Sheriff’s Office have teamed to make sure that children in the school system are safe, whether in the classroom or on the school bus.

“Every day it’s top priority to keep our children safe,” said Superintendent Jim McIntyre. “Additional strategies are being added to enhance safety.” One of

the first requirements will be additional training of school bus drivers, with a focus on distracted driving. A ride-along system is being developed where a uniformed officer will ride a school bus periodically to double-check skills and safety practices.

Knox County Schools is currently looking into funding for video cameras for all buses, to record the driver and the activity on

the bus. The final step in the safety plan is a thirdparty comprehensive and detailed review of the transportation program.

The school system works with KPD and KCSO to have a uniformed officer in every school. The officers can be a police officer, sheriff’s deputy or school resource officer depending on the need at each school. School doors are locked during the day,

and visitors are required to check in at the front office of every school upon entering.

“We are doing everything possible to assure the safety of our children in the schools,” said KPD Chief David Rausch.

Schools are in session and police officers are monitoring school zones and neighborhood bus stops ready to enforce proper and safe speed limits.

New year, new floor The faculty at Karns Middle School had requested to have some spots in the gymnasium floor repaired over the summer. Water damage and sanding over 15 years of use had caused holes to develop around the edges of the court.

Knox County Schools decided to replace the entire floor and by the time students start back this week, things will have simmered down.

“We changed a little of the design,” said KMS physical education teacher Tracy Eaton. The word “Karns” was in the baseline but now that area boasts 4-feet-tall Ks. Former principal and gym namesake Mr. Tom Duff now has his name on the court.

“We tried to think of the

community as much as possible during this project,” said Eaton. Junior pro teams that use the gym now have their free throw line permanently built into the design instead of having to use duct tape each time they play.

Now that the floor is complete, next on the list are safety pads to cover the walls at each end of the court. “I would be looking for some right now, but I can’t get to my catalogs,” said Eaton. “They’re in the gym.” Industrial fans blew the floor’s surface dry during the days leading up to school starting.

Eaton is relieved to have the project complete. “This school has pretty high standards, and I feel that now even the floor meets those standards,” she said.

Werner and Mullins place in top 1 percent Karns Middle School eighth graders Mason Werner and Jesse Mullins took the ACT exam last year and scored higher than 90 percent of high school juniors and seniors who took the same exam. This placed the two in the top 4 percent of all seventh graders and in the top 1 percent from Tennessee. The duo attended the Duke TIP Grand Recognition Ceremony at Duke University in May to receive a medal for their efforts. Photo submitted

Giving back to the community – through film and Hughes are guaranteed to keep showing movies – usually three a month – for at least a year.

Hughes sees the project as similar to First Friday, “where you walk around, you go into galleries and see what they’re painting, what they’re sculpting. Movies and the cinema have become excluded from the conversation about public art.”

“The community’s not having to do anything except figure out if they’re curious and show up and enjoy themselves,” says Harrill.

By Betsy Pickle Nowadays, you never have to leave your house to see a movie.

That’s what Paul Harrill and Darren Hughes are afraid of. More and more, film watchers are giving up on movie theaters – which don’t offer much variety anyway – and staying home to view either streaming movies or ones on DVD. They miss out on both the communal aspect of movie-going and, for the most part, the opportunity to see something different.

Harrill and Hughes came up with The Public Cinema to change that. Rotating between the Knoxville Museum of Art, Scruffy City Hall and the Pilot Light, they are screening films that don’t play at Knoxville’s traditional theaters, and they’re trying to build community at the same time.

“What’s really driving my interest in it is the communal aspect, the fact that however many show up … these are 20, 40, 60, 80 people that showed up because of a common interest in seeing something different,” says Harrill. “Getting all those people in the same room and getting them to meet each other and talk to each other – because they don’t know each other – is really valuable.

“That’s something you don’t get from the hometheater experience; that’s something you don’t get from Netflix – or even a regular movie theater. It’s

about expanding not just your tastes and the movies you’ve seen but the people you know, enriching your life.”

After a test run of a few films in the spring, The Public Cinema started its fall season last Wednesday at Scruffy City Hall with the short “Judy Judy Judy” and the feature “I Believe in Unicorns.” Next up is the French-Canadian comedydrama “Tu dors Nicole” at 2 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 23, at the KMA. Hughes says that once they arranged to screen at the three locations, they decided to “program for the

venue. So we’ve come up with these three different strands of programming.”

The Scruffy City series is “Made in the U.S.A.” – “American independents of various sizes,” says Hughes.

“Flicker and Wow” is the series at the Pilot Light.

“We’re doing edgier stuff, so it’s avant garde, experimental things.”

The KMA series is “International Currents,” cinema from other countries.

Harrill and Hughes have been friends for more than a decade, and they’ve been kicking around ideas for a film club or film series almost as long. Harrill, the

Dee and Jimmy Haslam Professor of Film at the University of Tennessee, is an award-winning filmmaker whose feature “Something, Anything” debuted last year at the Sarasota Film Festival. Hughes is a communications professional for the UT Foundation and a film critic for niche publications.

They started The Public Cinema by calling in favors from filmmakers and distributors to get films. The streaming service Fandor recently signed on as presenting sponsor for the Public Cinema, and thanks to it and the support of an anonymous donor, Harrill

Opening Friday at Downtown West, “The End of the Tour” details the five-day interview of author David Foster Wallace (“Infinite Jest”) by Rolling Stone writer David Lipsky.

Rotary Club of Knoxville president Sandy Martin and district governor Beth Stubbs.

Downtown Rotary cited for 100th year

By Bonny C. Millard Rotary District Gov. Beth Stubbs congratulated the Rotary Club of Knoxville on its upcoming historic anniversary and applauded the work the club does.

“I have something really special to present to you. What an honor for me to be district governor in a year that is so momentous for this club,” she said.

“You’re celebrating your hundredth year.”

Stubbs, of the Maryville-Alcoa Rotary Club, presented club president Sandy Martin with a certificate signed by Rotary International President Ravi Ravindran, Rotary Club of Sri Lanka.

The club has several events planned at the end of this month to celebrate the 100-year anniversary, Sept.

1, 1915 – Sept. 1, 2015.

Stubbs walked around the room acknowledging

a number of Rotarians she has worked with in the past including Brooks Clark, Ed Anderson, Townes Osborne, Don Hasson, Sam Albritton and Frank Rothermel and commended their service to the organization.

This district, 6780, is special because it’s had three members who have been tapped to serve as international president, she said. The most recent is John Germ of Chattanooga, who will serve in 201617.

“There’s only one other district in the world that’s had three Rotary presidents,” Stubbs said.

In addition to the certificate, Stubbs acknowledged member Sam Weaver and his wife, Carol, who have become major donors, level 3, for a lifetime contribution of $50,000 or more and presented them with a crystal medallion.

Postal Annex is owner’s dream

By Sandra Clark For 30 years Marcelle Hazari worked for Walmart, but she never lost her dream to own a business.

This month that dream was realized in grand style as family and local officials joined her business neighbors in welcoming the Postal Annex to The Landings at Cedar Bluff.

Mark Field and Melissa Spangler represented the Knoxville Chamber.

Kurt Fernwood was there from the nearby SunTrust Bank. In fact, the parking lot was packed with wellwishers … or maybe they had just heard of the elaborate buffet set up by Which Wich, another neighbor.

Stubbs said Rotary has several top priorities for the coming year. These include using technology to better measure goals and communicate information about projects, continuing to grow membership, continuing to fund the foundation, performing more humanitarian service and growing youth-based programs.

“It’s so inspiring all that you do, and all that I hope you will continue to do in the future.”

Marcelle’s husband, Al Hazari, was there, happy with his “new job.” Son Patrick flew in from New York and daughter Nicole came from Los Angeles. Another daughter, Jessica, lives in Knoxville. She’s taught art at Northwest Middle School here for eight years.

“This is my dream for a long time and my dream has come true,” said Marcelle Hazari, wielding the Chamber’s giant scissors to cut the ribbon.

Mayors from the city and county spoke briefly. Knoxville Mayor Madeline Rogero welcomed the new business, while Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett joked, “I think you’re in the city here so you’ll need a permit.”

Burchett talked of his interest in eBay and the demand for businesses like Postal Annex in the world of online merchandising.

The franchise functions as a personal assistant, handling packaging and shipping. There’s a notary public on site and documents can be copied and printed there. Customers can rent a private mailbox or purchase office supplies.

And prices are comparable to postal, FedEx or UPS shipping rates.

The Cedar Bluff store is open 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. weekdays and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturdays. Info: pa14023@ postalannex.com or 865-221-8846.

Summer sizzles for real estate market

By Sherry Witt

Newlywed car advice A letter from Rather & Kittrell Senior Financial Advisor Tim Eichhorn to his daughter and new son-in-law: Dear Eric and Catherine, I appreciate your question about buying a car. This is you first big purchase together as husband and wife. By the way, happy three month anniversary!

Sorry to hear that Stanley, the ten-year-old car we purchased to get Catherine to college, has died. Now you get the opportunity to see the value of your emergency Tim Eichhorn fund. So what’s next?

In your situation, there a few priority points that you need to keep in mind: ■ You do not need to necessarily buy new. A slightly used “certified” vehicle from a reputable dealer is likely a good choice.

■ It would be ideal to buy a car with cash; however you are not quite there yet since you are still in the building phase of your emergency fund.

■ This is not a time to buy the car of your dreams. Keep in mind that this should be a car that you purchase with a 10-year perspective. Reliability and efficiency are important as you start out.

There will be ample opportunity for that dream car down the road.

■ CARFAX®-style reports that give

more detail to a vehicle’s history are important. You should have a trusted mechanic look the car over before the purchase.

■ I don’t encourage you to borrow for a car as it is a depreciating asset, but a four-year note is likely your best bet. I’d encourage you to pay it more aggressively than that four-year schedule.

■ Buy the car, make a down payment and choose the length of note based on keeping the monthly payment below 10% of your income. Whatever length of note you choose, make the decision based on what you can afford from your combined monthly income. This will allow you to stay on track with your cash build-up in savings.

■ Know what you are willing to spend before you go onto the lot. Know the amount that you will not exceed before you sit in the car on the lot. You will not “over buy” with this limit in mind.

■ Know ahead of time what your insurer will charge you for the car. It can weigh on what model or manufacturer of car you decide.

Armed with these points, make the decision together and do not allow yourself to get rushed or pressured.

Enjoy the process and happy trails.

The month of July saw a cont inuation of the healthy pace local real estate and lending markets have been setting for most of Witt 2015. While some of the data fell short of the peak 2014 levels set last July, it was nonetheless another very good period for commerce in Knox County.

For the month ending July 31, there were 1,220 property transfers recorded, which comfortably surpassed the June total of 1,173. By comparison, last July saw 1,065 transfers.

The total value of property sold in July was a robust $247.3 million. Although that figure placed July in the top 10 months since 2008, it was well short of June’s fouryear record total of $345 million. Despite fewer actual transactions, July 2014’s sales produced a greater aggregate property value, as al-

most $292 million worth of land was transferred.

Mortgage lending in July was steady, but nowhere near record levels as about $307 million was loaned in mortgages and refinancing. Last July approximately $347 million was borrowed against real property in Knox County.

Even so, mortgage lending thus far in 2015 continues to outperform the same period of 2014 by more than half a billion dollars.

The most notable land transfer recorded last

month was the sale of commercial property located at 9175 Kingston Pike near the intersection with Cedar Bluff Road. The parcel sold for just under $4.8 million. The largest lending transaction of the month was a loan in the amount of $11,364,372 against property at 612 Clyde Street in northwest Knoxville.

As of July 31, there have been almost 800 more property transfers recorded in Knox County than during the first seven months of 2014.

A:

There’s very little that happens in a school year better than the week leading up to school starting and the rst day of school.

In all the years I have been in education I have never been as excited about school starting as I am for this year. Our week of Teacher in-service reaf rmed that God is blessing His people, and we are directly in the center of His will. Our Back to School Kickoff was amazing as we combined our school and preschool families for a fun evening. With almost 2,000 in attendance it was an incredible night to celebrate all that God is doing at CCS. We are waiting with anticipation to see what He is going to do next with Concord Christian School.

N EWS FROM PARKWEST, WEST KNOXVILLE ’ S H EALTHCARE LEADER • T REATED WELL .COM • 374-PARK

House call Parkwest founding physician returns for cardiac care Charles Gouffon, MD, was one of the rst physicians at Parkwest Medical Center. “I went to Parkwest the day it opened on Dec. 10, 1973,” he said. “I was there from that day until my retirement in 2006.”

The orthopedic surgeon played a major role in establishing Parkwest as a leader in joint replacements and treating joint disease. He spent 33 years on medical staff at the hospital and served as the chief of staff from 1992 to 1993. When Gouffon was experiencing neck and arm pain in December 2014, he went back to his former place of employment as a patient.

“I was having a heart attack,” he said. “I had never had heart symptoms in my life.”

Gouffon had an emergency stent placed in his right coronary artery

by A. Robert Blacky, MD, Parkwest cardiologist. While the procedure allowed the blockage in his right artery to be cleared, Gouffon had coronary artery disease elsewhere that could not be treated with a stent. He returned to Parkwest on Jan. 7, 2015, to have a coronary artery bypass graft (CABG), in which blood vessels from other locations in Gouffon’s body were placed around the blockages to restore blood ow to his heart.

After four weeks of recovery at home, Gouffon began his prescribed appointments at the Parkwest Cardiac Rehabilitation Center. The 12-week program was divided into three visits per week to the rehab center located at Fort Sanders West.

During his sessions, Gouffon completed exercises on various equipment including the treadmill and stationary bike. Over time, his team of exercise physiologists and case managers modi ed the dif culty and length of his workout based on muscular strength, endurance, re-

sults of electrocardiogram (EKG) and heart rate. Gouffon’s heart rate and EKG were monitored throughout all his workouts.

“At the end of each workout, Dr. Gouffon could tell us how he was doing physically on the outside, like how out of breath he was or if he was feeling tired,” Chris Spruiell, Parkwest Cardiac Rehab clinical exercise physiologist, said. “We could monitor how well he was doing on the

about what happened to your heart, nutrition lessons and overall lifestyle changes. They were excellent about answering our questions.”

As a non-smoker who reported low levels of stress, Gouffon’s cardiac rehab plan was focused on the diet and exercise portion of the program. “He did very well on changing his diet and working out both here and at home,” Spruiell said. “The nutrition plan we teach encourages a healthy meal plan meant to lower blood pressure, lower cholesterol, control diabetes and improve body composition.”

At the end of 12 weeks, Gouffon’s physical evaluation revealed he had lost 10.5 pounds of fat and gained 12 pounds of muscle. His cholesterol and blood pressure had fallen into normal range, which treatment by medication alone had not been able to accomplish.

“My wife says I have more energy,” he said. “I used to get fatigued but I thought that was age, not anything to do with my heart. I certainly have a better understanding now about why I need to be active.”

Now that Gouffon’s 36 prescribed visits to cardiac rehab are complete, he continues to work out at his neighborhood club. “I preach to all patients that this is something they must keep up,” Spruiell said. “This is a lifelong commitment to being heart healthy and inside in terms of his EKG and heart between rehabilitation and injury,” improving your quality of life.

Eating heart healthy A signi cant aspect of cardiac rehab at the Parkwest Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation Center is helping patients improve their nutrition and relationships with food.

“You can’t exercise away a bad diet,” Chris Spruiell, Parkwest Cardiac Rehab clinical exercise physiologist, said. “There’s no answer to the question of what a perfect weight may be. It’s all about what food your body can process well and what gives Chris Spruiell you energy.”

Many patients at cardiac rehab are aiming to lower blood pressure as part of their heart healthy lifestyle changes. Through the eating plan taught at cardiac rehab’s educational classes, these patients will learn what nutrients they need and what foods to avoid. “The diet we teach is focused on low sodium and low fat items. Everyone should limit their intake of red meat, sweets and

sugary beverages,” Spruiell said.

Cardiac rehab’s heart healthy diet includes the following information about what you should aim to eat in a day and the bene ts of these foods: • 7-10 servings of fruits and vegetables for potassium, magnesium and ber • 6-8 servings of whole grains for energy and ber • 2-3 servings of dairy for calcium and protein • 2 servings of lean meat, poultry or sh for protein and magnesium • 1 serving of nuts, seeds or dry beans for energy, magnesium, potassium, protein and ber Spruiell advises that sweets should be limited to less than ve times per week. Reducing sodium intake is key, as this action is proven to lower blood pressure.

“It’s important to change your

diet gradually, so you won’t be discouraged when you no longer get to eat everything you used to,” Spruiell said. “Better nutrition is a part of larger lifestyle changes to prevent cardiac events. Don’t wait until something happens. Take your nutrition seriously now.”

Parkwest Cardiac Rehab offers public classes on bettering your nutrition. Call (865) 531-5560 for more information.

Cardiac rehabilitation 101 If you’re hospitalized with heart disease, your doctor may recommend cardiac rehabilitation. Getting professional help in your recovery is important, and patients have a right to choose the place where they get it.

Karen Kirkland, RN, CCM works with patients in the Parkwest Medical Center Cardiac Rehabilitation Program at Fort Sanders West.

Patients who have experienced a cardiac event are prescribed a program of education and exercise to help their recovery and improve their odds for avoiding future visits to the hospital.

“It boosts their con dence level, too,” Kirkland said, “and lessens their anxiety.”

Patients meet with a case manager for evaluation and usually follow a schedule of three days a week for 12 weeks. The process includes meeting with an exercise physiologist for a program speci cally tailored to the patient’s personal needs and ability.

Exercise can include treadmills, arm ergometers, stationary bicycles, elliptical machines, weights and steps. Each patient wears a

heart monitor and is constantly being evaluated. The exercise program is updated as the patient progresses.

Cardiac rehab also includes classes covering topics like cooking heart healthy foods and interpreting what’s on food labels at the grocery store.

While some patients may believe they can complete the appropriate exercises without coming to rehabilitation, Kirkland explained, the bene ts in health and wellness gained at cardiac rehab change their minds.

“Although some patients may have exercised before their cardiac events and think they know how to maintain a healthy heart, many change their minds after attending cardiac rehab,” Kirkland said.

“With our help, they learn the best way to exercise speci cally to improve the function of their hearts.”
