Looking at Steve Hall’s defeat It has been 20 years since a Knox County state representative lost a party primary, but Martin Daniel made history when he upset incumbent Rep. Steve Hall on Aug. 7.

The last time that happened was in 1994 when Tim Burchett defeated then-incumbent Rep. Maria Peroulas in the same district.

How did Daniel do it?

Arthur John Stupka The Smoky Mountains National Park’s first naturalist helped lay out the 800mile trail system in the park.

He also added hundreds of observations to the journal he started at age 15.

Eventually, those observations would number 18,000 and are now computerized as a part of the park archives for use by scientists in understanding the long-term changes in its flora and fauna.

By Nancy Anderson Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett celebrated his half-century birthday a few days early with a birthday bash at the Ben Atchley Tennessee State Veterans’ Home in Karns.

In lieu of gifts, Burchett asked that gift cards to area restaurants and Visa/MasterCard or Walmart cards be donated to the veterans living at the home. Burchett said he wanted to celebrate his birthday with the veterans in honor of his father, a WWII veteran who passed away in 2008.

“My dad spent some time at Ben Atchley State Veterans’ Home. Before he died, the staff there took great care of him, and I know they do the same for all the residents there.

This is just a chance to not only say thank you to the staff, but also to the residents who have served our country in the armed forces,” said Burchett.

Rochelle Cordova from Woodmen of the World Life Insurance Society was a volunteer who managed the gift basket. She said the generosity was amazing, with approximately $5,000 in gift cards collected in the first couple of hours.

Veterans’ Home administrator Doug Ottinger said he was thrilled and humbled by Burchett’s fundraising effort on behalf of the veterans.

“Ben Atchley is a home away from home,” said Ottinger. “This is about them living their lives, just at a different address. Going Charley Brakebill (at right) drops in his donation of a gift card with volunteer Rochelle Corout to eat is a favorite pas- dova from Woodmen of the World Life Insurance Society.

Pridemore faces trial by fire; lawyers worry

By Betty Bean “You’re at the airport with your wife and kids, getting ready to board a plane to Disney World.

But when you get to the gate for the flight to Orlando, there’s an election, and a guy who’s never flown before is elected pilot and citizens are comPridemore pelled to get on that plane …”

This is how one Knoxville attorney described having pending cases in Chancery Court, Division II, where the newly elected and little-known Republican Clarence “Eddie” Pridemore will preside come Sept. 1.

Pridemore’s victory over respected incumbent Daryl Fansler, a Democrat, was a product of the GOP’s “Red to the Roots” project

and sent shockwaves through the local legal community.

“You hear it from every lawyer of every stripe who practices here, throughout the courthouse and out on the street and everywhere – ‘Oh, my gosh! What’re we going to do now?’ ” said David Buuck, Knox County’s chief deputy law director.

The city of Knoxville is awaiting several decisions in important cases pending in Division II, including Lamar v Knoxville, which challenges the city’s right to regulate billboards; Anderson and Woodridge v Knoxville, an appeal of the city’s closure of Ben Atchley Street in Bearden; and Royal Properties Inc. v Knoxville, dealing with the fate of the Pryor Brown parking garage.

Arthur Seymour Jr. represents the Northshore Town Center developer who intervened in a case filed by county residents opposing a large mixed-use development

Foster' s $ 5 Fine Jewelry

project inside the city.

“All I know to do is forge ahead,” Seymour said. “He says he’s going to judge’s school, so there’s that.”

At “Baby Judges’ College,” operated by the Administrative Offices of the Courts in Nashville, Pridemore will have five days of seminars, sign up for his $175,000-peryear paycheck and get fitted for his robe (a standard choir robe will suffice). When he returns, Pridemore will immediately face Motion Day, where dozens of lawyers present a wide variety of cases.

“If Eddie has half a lick of sense, he’ll sit there like a stone, nod his head and take cases under advisement. The problem with that is he’ll have to write opinions and will get swamped pretty quickly. His cases will drag, and complaints will start coming in,” said one very experienced attorney, speaking anonymously.

Most worry less about Pridemore than about those who will stand before him.

“I have cases where clients will be in front of a judge with no Chancery Court experience who engaged in the political process and had some issues regarding his personal finances. Without being critical of the chancellor-elect, it raises significant questions about the manner and method by which we elect judges in Knox County,” said Greg Isaacs, who represents Lamar Outdoor Advertising.

Attorneys speaking anonymously had less tactful takes: “There needs to be a preliminary threshold for who gets to be a judge. … You’re going to wonder why your children got taken away or why you lost your inheritance. … A chimpanzee could have won if it had an R behind its name. … An incompetent buffoon ran a stealth campaign and got elected.”

NEWS FROM CHRISTIAN ACADEMY OF KNOXVILLE

Three generations at CAK

Daughter and mother CAK teachers Sarah Hunt Traylor and Amy Hunt, and Sarah’s son Jack, a student in CAK’s Early Learning Program.

CAK is proud to have three generations of the Hunt family at CAK. Amy Hunt is a 5th grade teacher, her daughter Sarah (Hunt) Traylor teaches in the high school and her grandson (Sarah’s son), Jack, is in the Early Learning Program. Sarah also attended CAK, graduating in the Class of 2001.

“I never dreamed when (Sarah) became a teacher that she would be at CAK,” Hunt said of her daughter. “I think God just kind of took us down that path; it wasn’t something that we set out.”

Hunt has taught at CAK for 22 years, teaching 4th and 5th grade. When she first sent her children to CAK, she wasn’t yet a teacher.

“We really put our kids here on faith,” Hunt said.

“And now when I think about the fact that we’re all here,

it’s a cool thing. It makes it seem like this is such a community.”

Sarah said deciding to send Jack to CAK was a “nobrainer.”

“My mom works here, I work here, graduated from here, husband graduated from here, kind of an easy decision,” Traylor said. “It’s been awesome, his teachers are fabulous, he loves his friends.”

With the new hire of Julian Williams as Information Systems Manager, the Williams family also has three generations at CAK. Julian’s mother, Jane Williams, has been at CAK for 30 years in a variety of roles including Elementary Principal and Curriculum Coordinator. Julian’s son Jadon is in CAK’s Early Learning Program.

From CAK to Broadway The day before rehearsals for the next show started, Travis Blackwell was busy doing dishes. That’s right, he washed out coffee mugs, prepared the coffee and tea station and then got on FaceTime to do a quick interview with CAK Today.

That’s what life is like as production stage manager, and Blackwell is loving every minute of it.

“It is a lot less glamorous than actually being on stage,” Blackwell said with a laugh, “but I really feel like I’m living a dream.”

In fact, since graduating from CAK in 2012, Travis Blackwell has been very busy.

He has worked on 28 productions including theater, dance, concerts and special events.

“It has been a bit of a whirlwind,” Blackwell admitted.

“CAK is where I first discovered my passion for theater, and my time spent on the stage in the Campus Center still ranks among my favorite experiences today.”

Blackwell is a sophomore at the University of Memphis, where he received a full scholarship. He is majoring in theater with a concentration in design and technical production and a focus in stage management.

What is most impressive, however, is the experience Blackwell receives outside of the classroom. He is spending most of this summer working at the Weston Playhouse Theatre Company in Weston, Vermont.

“Weston is a very well respected regional theater,” Blackwell said. “So it’s a huge stepping stone in regards to working on an (Actors’) Eq-

uity house with union professionals. I’m really enjoying my time here.”

CAK grad Travis Blackwell will soon join the Broadway crew of “Wicked” as a stage management intern. Photo by Allison Acuff This winter, Blackwell will go to New York to join the Broadway company of “Wicked” as a stage management intern under the leadership of Production Stage Manager Marybeth Abel.

“Wicked,” the smash-hit musical currently in its 10th record-breaking year on Broadway, is the only Broadway show that offers an internship in stage management of this kind.

“It literally is a dream come true,” Blackwell said. “‘Wicked’ was the thing that got me into theater to begin with, so it really has come full circle for me.”

Blackwell said he has seen “Wicked” 13 times since he first saw it in 2008.

“It was the first show I really became obsessed with,” Blackwell said. “After researching and learning more

about the show, it really sparked my desire to work in theater.”

In fact, he started theater at CAK in 6th grade and hasn’t looked back.

“I realized early on that Travis was not only artistically talented but a leader,” said CAK Musical Theatre Director Peggy Filyaw. “He has an eye for detail and an untiring appetite to learn. Even as a middle schooler, Travis possessed a maturity that was well beyond his years. But most important, he was easy to work with. I count it one of the many blessings I have had in my years of teaching at CAK to have had the opportunity to work with Travis and to watch his phenomenal career unfold.”

Blackwell participated in every musical theater production during his years at CAK, with his first role being the baker in “Cinderella,” and his last role being the Beast in “Beauty and the Beast.”

While in Knoxville, Blackwell was also extremely active in community theater, having worked extensively with the Oak Ridge Playhouse, Children’s Theatre of Knoxville and the Erin Youth Players.

To date, his resumé totals 70 productions.

“For anyone interested in theater, I would recommend that you take any opportunity you can while you’re in high school, work in the community, church theater, get as much experience as possible,” Blackwell said. “Theater is one of those things where you get as much out of it as you put into it. Your future is really in your hands.”

Blackwell credits CAK Musical Theatre Director Peggy Filyaw and her team, Janet McLean, Gina Grubbs, Cheryl Nehls and Kristin Smith, for all of the opportunities.

“I’m so thankful that they let me explore my love for theater and experience using my gifts for God,” Blackwell added. “I really got a good foundation that I have carried with me into collegiate and professional theater.”

Blackwell also credited parental and administrative support in encouraging him to

explore while he was in high school.

“It’s so important for kids to know that they can go on to pursue their dreams,” Blackwell said. “CAK does a really great job of that and that’s partly the reason I am where I am today.”

It’s been a fast road for Blackwell, but the best lies ahead.

“I’m a little nervous (to join the crew of ‘Wicked’), but I feel so prepared,” Blackwell said. “It’s just an incredible opportunity. I’m so excited!”

Words to live by

As selected by the Class of 2015, the theme verse for the 2014-15 school year at Christian Academy of Knoxville is: Hosea 10:12: “Sow for yourselves righteousness; reap steadfast love; break up your fallow ground, for it is the time to seek the Lord, that he may come and rain righteousness upon you.”

Goodbye, pool, and hello, school Last week was busy for the Karns Community Pool. The Karns Lions Club sponsored an end-of-theyear pool party on Saturday to celebrate the pool’s 60th anniversary and as “thank you” to the community for its continued support.

Knoxville Challenger League athlete Preston Anderson with his buddy, chair Nic Arning, enjoys a good time at the pool party for Challenger Sports League.

“We felt we owed the community free admission for all their support. Karns Community Pool is a nonprofit organization owned and operated by Karns Lions Club. A lot of the proceeds go to help the blind, so we’re appreciative of the community and their support,” says Karns Lion Jeff Bloomer.

Lion Paws, the Karns Lions Club mascot, was on hand to give hugs.

Having come on board as the mascot nearly 15 years ago, Lion Paws has been increasingly well-known for his funny shenanigans and as a giver of superior hugs.

Over the past 60 years, the Karns Community Pool has been a mainstay for summer fun and a favorite summer-job option for locals. Area daycares take full advantage of the pool during the week. Bloomer said every day finds a bus or vanload of youngsters needing an outlet for summer fun.

Another special event here at the close of summer was the Karns Lions Club year-end pool party for the Knoxville Challenger Sports League, a nonprofit organization geared toward helping specialneeds kids participate

in sports activities. The kids play everything from basketball and baseball to bowling, competing against local sports teams. On the books, with the date to be determined, is a basketball game with the Lady Vols!

Although the sky was dark and gloomy, approximately 30 kids and adults wore bright smiles and enjoyed the time they had before the rain started.

There were plenty of hamburgers and hot dogs.

Nic Arning, chairman of the board for Knoxville Challenger League, said he was especially appreciative of the Karns Lions Club and its continued support. The Lions allow the Challengers to use the pool for events during the summer.

“We’re funded primarily by corporate donations and

volunteer efforts, so it’s great to have community support,” says Arning.

“The Lions Club has always welcomed us to the pool with open arms. The kids get a chance to interact with each other and with kids who do not have special needs. The pool is really great for the kids physically as well. It sort of levels the playing field, allowing the kids to just be kids for a day.

Lord willing, we’ll be back next summer.”

government High bar for Clarence Eddie Dr. Fred Hurst often asks: What do you call the guy who finished last in his class in medical school?

Answer: “Doctor.”

Pundits are worried about newly elected chancellor Clarence “Eddie” Pridemore. And we agree he has a high bar to maintain customary Knox County standards.

Pridemore just cannot pay out bonuses for courses not taken; and he must not spend county money to buy a Blu-ray player and discs for his “downtime.”

He must never use a county P-Card at JJ’s Mega Wigs on Gay Street and then, when caught, claim it was for gasoline.

No, no, Eddie. You cannot talk to John Valliant on a cell phone from the bench

Sandra Clark

and then, when caught, claim it was about rental property.

And you must never, ever coerce probationers into sex for prescription drugs.

Yep. The bar is high for Clarence Eddie.

But think about it. In some ways the guy’s a genius. How many of his critics are making $175,000 a year for eight years guaranteed, plus a pension?

Jamie Rowe: fast out of the gate Judging by the media speculation about 2nd District school board candidate Jamie Rowe, the casual reader might think she was: A. A political juggernaut.

B. A political unknown.

C. An Indya Kincannon wannabe.

D. Somebody’s puppet.

The “juggernaut” speculation grew out of a published report that Rowe has a 250-name host committee list. The air of mystery has been promoted by reporters attempting to suss out which side of the essential James McIntyre argument she’s on by checking out her Facebook friends. The Kincannon mention comes from an assumption that the former board member’s positions reflect those of her district. And the “puppet” suspicion? See item B. Underlying the questions is the fact that the election could flip the balance on a board that has been 8-1 proMcIntyre to a 5-4 split the

Association leaders Ronnie Collins, Katie and Bev Gooch, City Council members Mark Campen and Nick Della Volpe, retired art teachers Betty Maloy (Central) and Christine Harness (Gresham); Retired TVA executive Nan Scott, former County Commissioners Mark Harmon and Billy Tindell, longtime Central teacher (and Tommy Schumpert campaign mastermind) Jean Payne, Fountain City activist Barbara Ray and numerous members of the extended Helton family, long active in Fountain City athletics and community life.

Who’s not there?

Any member of the school board.

Rowe, who has voted in both Republican and Democratic primaries, was active in Kincannon’s first (and only contested) campaign.

Did she ask for Kincannon’s endorsement?”

“No, I did not. I called her as a courtesy, but I’m

running for s c h o o l board, and I’m confident enough in my own beliefs that I won’t be copying anyone Jamie Rowe else.”

Would she have voted to extend Superintendent James McIntyre’s contract?

“No. There was no logical reason to commit $222,000 more taxpayer dollars (for a fourth year). To me, that’s not fiscally responsible. I want to see resources used wisely.”

Space doesn’t allow listing much of her resume, but here are some highlights: 2004 Fountain City Woman of the Year, 1991 Bicentennial Gold Medal Award Winner (for environmental education work at Gresham Middle School), founder of the Shannondale Walkathon.

First, Daniel invested $85,000 of his own money into his campaign, which allowed him to do the mailings, yard signs and phone calls needed to win.

This money only matched what Hall had accumulated in PAC donations over four years.

Second, Daniel committed his personal time going door to door for more than 60 consecutive days, becoming known to voters during the hot summer.

Hall had others going door to door for him.

Third, Hall did not realize the aggressive force coming onto the field against him until early voting was well underway. He was caught flat-footed.

Fourth, Hall handed Daniel three issues that only Hall could have cre-

ated and caused voters to abandon Hall.

Those issues included legislation to sell Lakeshore Park, which is the most used park in the city.

Hall also sponsored legislation to allow Tennova to build a high-rise hospital on Middlebrook Pike without checking with the neighborhood as to their views while accepting significant campaign donations from the Tennova PAC. Hall then endorsed Stacey Campfield for state senate on TV when Campfield was politically toxic.

Fifth, the two appearances Hall and Daniel made together on TV assisted Daniel, whose performance was more polished and informed while Hall was clearly on the defensive and visibly distressed in front of the camera.

Sixth, the margin of victory for Daniel came from

the Rocky Hill county precinct and Deane Hill Recreation city ward.

Both are adjacent to Lakeshore Park, which Hall tried to sell.

Hall had lobbied to have those precincts placed in his district to maintain a 70 percent GOP flavor to the district.

It never occurred to Hall that he might lose in a primary to a resident of these new precincts. Daniel lives in Rocky Hill.

Future and current legislative incumbents might take note that people do watch the legislation you introduce and it can become an issue. Also, clever redistricting may work against you, not for you. Be careful whom you endorse, especially if he is losing by an overwhelming margin. Talk to voters before introducing legislation that impacts them.

in 2006. He’s now serving a 13-year prison term.

The late Sen. Ted Kennedy, shining Democratic star, drove off a bridge in 1969, killing his passenger, and didn’t report the incident until the following day. Massachusetts voters continued to re-elect him until he died in 2009.

Hypocrite and incumbent U.S. Rep. Scott DesJarlais has apparently won his Republican primary contest for Tennessee’s 4th Congressional District.

In our own backyard, starting in 2004 Republican state Sen. Stacey Campfield held office for a decade until even the Voting Dead were undone by his lunacy.

If Clarence Pridemore

has taken a bribe, driven off a bridge, talked out of both sides of his mouth about abortion or trashed gays there’s no record of it. And if the media attention he’s drawn since the election seems like beating a dead horse, it’s because this horse never should have left the paddock.

Pridemore himself may be suffering from partial brain death, as demonstrated by this on his campaign website, www.pridemore2014. com: “I hope to make Knox County proud to have me as it’s next Chancellor.”

Do we want a Chancellor who doesn’t know the difference between “it’s” and “its”?

Can Knox County afford a copy editor to clean up his

written decisions?

Pridemore’s recent bankruptcy doesn’t inspire confidence. Now the voting dead have handed him authority over the affairs of an untold number of others for eight years.

Where will the new Chancellor stow the “conservative Republican” label that he wore during the campaign when his court opens for business?

Does conservative Republican justice differ from run-of-the-mill Republican justice? From Democratic justice?

“Better Dead than Red” was a popular slogan way back when. For the “voting dead” in this race, they’re one and the same.

Betty Bean other way.

Rowe, long active in local politics and schools, has never run for office before, understands the speculation, but has been too busy to address it.

Last Friday, three days before Kincannon officially vacated her school board seat, Rowe planted a couple of green-and-white Jamie Rowe for school board signs in front of her Tazewell Pike home and sat down to talk.

She moves fast but not fast enough to have signed up 250 public supporters (she claims 180-something on the list so far).

Here’s a sample of who’s on there: former City Council members Carlene Malone and Jack Sharp, Alice Bell Spring Hill Neighborhood

Steve Hall, Mark Donaldson moving on Mayors Burchett and Rogero will appoint a committee under a new state law to choose a new MPC director as Mark Donaldson has decided to move on.

However, it is unclear how many members will serve on it, their qualifications, who will chair it, who will fund it, who will staff it and its timetable. Meetings and records of this committee must be subject to public review and attendance.

Neighborhood groups worry that Rogero’s deputy Bill Lyons will overly influence her choices for this committee as Lyons has recently clashed with the Fort Sanders Neighborhood by having excluded Fort Sanders from the World’s Fair Park review committee membership. They feel Lyons is unfavorable to his-

toric neighborhoods if big businesses are involved.

This column first reported the hiring of Dave Hill at MPC in May, which triggered a firestorm of criticism leading to the Donaldson departure.

It is amazing that MPC chair Rebecca Longmire defended the Hill hiring, saying it was in compliance with the MPC bylaws. Even if the bylaws were followed, it is clear the bylaws need to be changed to assure fairness in hiring.

Both Rogero and Burchett issued statements on Donaldson leaving. Rogero’s was lengthy and full of praise. Burchett’s was two sentences long with a single “thank you.”

lost a party primary, but businessman Martin Daniel made history when he upset incumbent Steve Hall by 157 votes on Aug. 7. It was 1994 when Tim Burchett defeated then-incumbent Rep. Maria Peroulas in the same district.

Conditions were ripe for Hall to lose, but it required a combination of circumstances. Had any of those circumstances been missing, Hall might have prevailed as Daniel’s initial polling showed Hall was 40 points ahead.

Night of the ‘voting dead’ “Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.”

– H.L. Mencken Sorry, Stephen King.

Move over, Edgar Allan Poe. The horrors that sprang from those fertile imaginations have been eclipsed by real life: The “voting dead” are at large in Knox County.

What else explains the brain-dead decision made by more than 30,000 of our fellow citizens to vote for the manifestly unqualified Clarence Pridemore Jr. over Daryl Fansler for Chancellor on Aug. 7?

Frankly, I’ve owned cats with more impressive resumes than Pridemore’s few years in retail and real-estate sales.

The litmus test for voting in this contest was as simple as it gets: Are you capable of tying your shoes with only minimal assistance? Then you voted for Fansler without hesitation.

On the other hand, if your frontal cortex teemed with the logic-devouring virus of

party-line voting, you pulled the lever for Mr. Least Likely To Succeed.

It’s great to be a Tennessee Vol Tennessee football is so much fun when the Volunteers win.

The religious devotion, old-fashioned faith, is again justified. Joy is contagious.

Strangers laugh and exchange high fives. Costs of tickets and parking and hot dogs no longer seem exorbitant.

There is a buzz as the thousands depart, replaying highlights. Some move on to next week and guess what the score will be and wonder if it is finally our turn against Alabama and who will make all-American. All is right with the world. Well, almost.

Excitement carries over to dinner parties and latenight snacks and even Sunday school. I once heard a preacher weave a Vol victory

Marvin West

into a sermon.

Tennessee football is so much pain and anguish and indigestion when the Volunteers lose. It hurts to say they’ve been doing a lot of that lately and by some rather ugly scores. Our terrific freshmen Butch Jones brought in were 11 or 12 the last time Tennessee was relevant.

Losing generates so many negatives and very feeble excuses. The coach called the wrong play. We should

try the other quarterback.

How can all those officials miss that obvious holding foul? Our team is so young and inexperienced and the ball was wet.

Offended fans take losing personally. Coffee is lukewarm and breakfast is tasteless. Traffic is terrible, the computer is slow and it looks like more rain.

Losing lasts through Tuesday and sometimes Wednesday if Florida did it. Business suffers. No kidding. Losing dulls ordinary discussions.

Eventually, a trace of optimism breaks through, suffering subsides and believers come back to life and start counting again. Can the Vols still qualify for a

bowl game?

I am reminded of a little essay I did years ago: What is Tennessee football?

Some think of it as the greatest show on Earth, high drama, gladiatorial theater, pomp and circumstance, played out in front of huge audiences, soon to be bigger with the new SEC Network.

Faces change and even that forever jersey turns gray but the story line stays the same, us against them, passion and glory or confusion, turnovers and heartbreak.

Been there and seen it all.

For sure, Tennessee football is money, multimilliondollar budget, low or no reserve fund, greedy amusement taxes, astronomical

debt service, Butch’s salary plus a bonus for players’ academic success.

OK, I know you are wondering. Dave Hart is paid $817,250 to be athletic director – unless I missed a recent raise.

Tennessee football rises above it all.

Some said my best line from that years-ago summation was this: “Tennessee football is an ensemble of very special people, a collection of remarkable snapshots, moments inextricably linked by blood, sweat and tears, always orange.”

To me, Tennessee football will remain the memory of George Cafego, the epitome of a Volunteer. It is Doug Atkins and Reggie White getting bigger and better through the years. It is Larry Seivers and Dick Williams and Curt Watson

and Bill Young and others who required no recruiting.

Tennessee had always been their team.

Tennessee football is that season of destiny, the ’98 national championship. It is the Arkansas fumble and Al Wilson refusing to lose.

Tennessee football is checkerboards and the Vol Walk and the Neyland statue. It is Dewey Warren’s one-yard run in Memphis and Peyton Manning leading the band and staying for his senior season.

Tennessee football is the exhilaration of walking away a winner and the futility of final seconds ticking away when the Vols are behind and can’t do anything about it. You feel like crying and maybe you do – until somebody starts the chant, “It’s great to be a Tennessee Vol.” Marvin West invites reader reaction. His address is westwest6@netzero.com.

Arthur Stupka: Archivist of the Smokies Arthur John Stupka was born on Oct. 24, 1905, the oldest of four children of Louis and Mary Stupka, both natives of Bohemia, now the Czech Republic.

Louis owned a meat and produce market in Cleveland, Ohio, on the southern shore of Lake Erie. That is where Arthur first experienced the great outdoors.

Jim Tumblin

He graduated from Ohio State University, where he also earned his master’s degree in zoology, and then joined the National Park Service at Yellowstone as a ranger-naturalist in 1931.

The following year he was

transferred to Acadia National Park near Bar Harbor, Maine, as chief naturalist.

He came to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in 1935, just one year after the park was created.

J. Ross Eakin, the park’s first superintendent, told him, “I don’t need a naturalist because I don’t want any more visitors (until construction is finished).” Eakin advised him to get acquainted with the park by hiking, observing and recording.

He also was charged with establishing a natural history collection and making connections with the scientists who could help develop the park’s resources.

He spent the next four years doing just that and working closely with the Civilian Conservation Corps to lay out the 800-mile trail system in the park, one of Stupka’s proudest achievements. He also added hun-

dreds of observations to his journals, which he had begun when he was only 15.

Eventually, those observations would number 18,000 and are now computerized as a part of the park archives for use by scientists in understanding the longterm changes in its flora and fauna.

He documented the disastrous year of 1946 when the American chestnut had already disappeared and the acorn crop was very poor. It was estimated that between one-third and one-half of the black bear population left the park’s sanctuary that year in search of food.

Gray squirrels had a mortality of up to 90 percent in some watersheds.

There possibly were specialists who knew more than Stupka about birdlife in the Smokies, and probably some knew more about mushrooms, herbs, shrubs

and trees. Others may have known more about animals and reptiles. However, Arthur Stupka probably knew far more about all of those things as a group than any other inNaturalist and party on conducted dividual. His intertrip.

The power of At the beginning of this school year, I want to talk about the power of music and your child’s mind.

Carol Shane

Carol’s Corner As a piano teacher, I try to introduce students to a wide spectrum of music. During one young man’s lesson in the spring of 2013, I put on a CD of Igor Stravinsky’s 20th-century masterpiece “The Rite of Spring.” His eyes lit up. “The dinosaurs!” he exclaimed. “This is, like, my favorite song!” “‘Fantasia,’ right?” I said.

“Yes!” he replied. “I love this! What is it again?”

Fortunately, the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra was getting ready to perform the piece; since I’m an orchestra member, I was able to take Evan (not his real name) to a rehearsal.

The 17-year-old was overwhelmed by the opulence of the theater, and when the orchestra began to play, the largeness of the sound threw him for a loop. “I feel a little lightheaded,” he said.

I made sure he had a bottle of water. “Breathe,” I suggested. In a few minutes I glanced sideways to check on him.

He was playing a video game on his laptop. I was crushed. He knew it, too.

helping my schoolwork.”

Music enlarges our children’s experience of the world.

And in an age when we are glued to small screens and music comes in 30-second sound bites, our kids need to know about bigger, deeper, more sustained ways to experience it. Their brains will benefit. Their attention spans will grow.

Maybe they’ll want to take part themselves, maybe not. But as they say, “It’s all good.”

In Evan’s case, no matter how much he returns to that small screen, he can’t “un-remember” the sounds he heard that night or the

“I’m sorry,” he whispered. “It’s just too much; I can’t take it all in. I’m overwhelmed, and I need to focus on this for a while; it will help me to calm down.”

We made a deal. Ten minutes of video game, tops, and then he needed to put it away and be present with the sound and the immensity of the experience. He did, he was, and he had what I believe was one of the greatest nights of his young life.

This year he’s a freshman in college. “The Rite of Spring” didn’t make him do that, of course, but at one point during a lesson last year, he did offer this: “You know, studying music is

Our area is rife with opportunities for introducing classical music to your kids. WUOT radio – 91.9 FM – plays a wide variety of pieces day and night. Lawson-McGhee Library has an excellent collection of CDs and knowledgeable librarians who are eager to help.

One of the easiest things you can do is to keep music playing in your home. Have it on when you’re eating dinner or when the kids are doing homework. Make it part of the soundtrack of your children’s lives.

Getting to know Grace’s Breland

Imperfection in God’s world

By Nancy Anderson Grace Baptist Church, already known for its great music services, may have scored a major hit in hiring new worship pastor Jason Breland.

Breland cut his teeth on the road in the contemporary Christian music scene and is a successful recording artist in his own right. His father, John Roger Breland, founded the contemporary Christian rock group Truth in the early 1970s.

As worship leader, Breland will oversee the musical programs at the church, including Sunday services. The choir at Grace Baptist is 275 members strong, ministering to a Sunday-morning crowd of approximately 2,500. There are 500 in the children’s program, plus an active senior program. Breland will also oversee planning the large concert events sponsored by Grace.

Breland has 20-plus years’ experience in Christian music and previously served as worship pastor at First Baptist of North Mobile in Alabama. He says he wouldn’t have any other job in the world.

“Being a pastor is everything to me,” says Breland.

“People say if you can do anything else, do it. But I wouldn’t have it any other way. I don’t view it as a job.

I do get paid, and I’m grateful for that, but it is actually a privilege to do what I do.”

Breland says plans for Grace are to increase participation from service attendees. He wants to get people excited about what’s happening in church and get them actively involved in the worship experience through music.

“I’m a cheerleader. If I’m excited about it, they’ll be excited about it, too. I’ve only been here three or four

months, and I’m already seeing the barrier being broken down and people becoming more engaged. It’s a huge win, and I’m thrilled to see that happening.”

Breland and wife Amy have been married nearly 20 years, the first three of which were spent on a tour bus when he was lead singer with Truth. Their first child spent the first year of her life on tour as well. The whole family loves music.

“Sometimes we’ll all be in different rooms singing the same song in harmony,” says Breland. “As the kids get older, we’ll enjoy our

music even more.”

Breland says he is getting to know his new home, but there is one thing he wants people to know about Grace Baptist Church: “Grace” isn’t just a name, he says.

“You don’t have to clean up your act to come here.

It doesn’t matter what your background is or what baggage you have with you.

Here you will receive grace.

We don’t judge people as they walk in the door. It’s not just a place called ‘grace,’ it is a place of grace.

And we’ve got some pretty awesome music for you here as well.”

: a worship revolution

By Wendy Smith It’s a weekly worship service, but it’s not held in a church. It happens every Tuesday in a building called the Fifth Avenue house, which is not really a house.

It’s called Love War, but that’s an unofficial name, says Nathan Fray.

Fray is the drummer for a local worship band called United Pursuit. The band was started by Fray, a Bearden High School graduate, and keyboardist Will Reagan, a Gibbs High School grad. It grew to include guitarist Brock Human and bass player John Romero, and since 2007, United Pursuit has released 10 albums and developed a worldwide following.

Tour manager Michael Carr admits that the weekly worship session, which attracts hundreds of teens and young adults, is hard to define. But the concept is actually quite simple.

People from across the city come together to worship. No denominations, no teaching − just free-form, music-driven worship.

Reagan has a creative

Why does God permit imperfection in His world?

Why are babies allowed to be born handicapped? Whyy do limbs not move, eyes not ott d see, mouths not speak and ears not hear? Why doess God allow children to bee born with cerebral palsy, Down syndrome and spina bifida? Skeptics and Christians alike struggle with the answers to such questions.

“Where is the perfection of God in view of such imperfections?”

I don’t pretend to have all the answers to human suffering, but I do know there are some things that help me deal with such difficult questions. One such aid comes from a change in perspective.

What if the perfection God is looking for is in us, not the imperfect bodies of people? What if the greater perfection God desires is in our reaction to people who are imperfect?

How compassionate are you with the afflicted? How patient and understanding are you with their trials? Do they have too many troubles to make getting involved

has grown to well over 300 participants.

The Internet has played a significant role in the band’s endeavors. The nonprofit United Pursuit Ministries purchased the Fifth Avenue house last year with the help of a local foundation and an online Indiegogo campaign that raised $109,000 in just 30 days.

Monthly expenses are covered by subscriptions that give fans from around the world access to an online archive of worship videos as well as a three-song EP (extended play) recording each month.

Steve Higginbotham with them worthwhile? Are we inconvenienced and resentful of their demands on our time and lifestyle? Are we annoyed at their presence or, worse, embarrassed by them?

Just maybe the perfection God is looking for is in our Christ-like response to imperfect people. Instead of allowing people born with physical disabilities to shake our faith in God, should we not rather allow them to challenge us to reach toward Christ-like perfection in our response to these people?

From God’s perspective, the imperfection may not be in the physically and mentally disabled but in a healthy person’s uncompassionate response to these individuals.

Surprise: Forrest Gump has a Knoxville counterpart

By Anne Hart If you think movie character Forrest Gump led a frenetic life packed with amazing coincidences and mind-boggling achievements – all managed with the ultimate in grace, charm and genuine warmth – you may be interested to know his match for all of that lives right here in Knoxville.

Over the years you may have watched him on tennis courts around the world winning championship after championship – first as a youngster at the McCallie School in Chattanooga, then at Tulane University

and ultimately at Wimbledon, the U.S. Open and on the Davis Cup team.

After that he could have been the soldier across the table from you in the mess hall in Vietnam. And today, many years later, you may have encountered him in the courtroom practicing law or in the pulpit preaching on a Sunday morning.

He also might just be the guy who flies right past you in a marathon or whizzes by like the wind in a bicycle race.

It’s a sure thing that Forrest Gump’s life parallels that of Knoxville’s own Dr. G. Turner Howard III,

Rogero updates on city progress

By Sandra Clark Knoxville Mayor Madeline Rogero starts every speech by saying, “I love my job.” And she means it. Last week Rogero demonstrated her mastery of that job at the North Knoxville Rotary Club.

“We deal with diverse opinions to form consensus to move the city forward,” she said, urging the business audience to get their staff “out of silos” and working together.

Rogero’s administration is continuing the redevelopment program launched

by Mayor Bill Haslam, starting with the center city and moving outward.

Downtown is vibrant, and now the city is running out of parking. The new Walnut Street parking garage will add 1,060 spaces with free night and weekend parking. Daytime parking

will serve TVA Towers and the Langley Building (formerly Kimberly-Clark), she said.

The city uses public money strategically to leverage private investment with projects underway all over town. Here are highlights: North: Façade grants and installation of bike routes on North Central led to a resurgence of restaurants and bars. Last week Happy Holler was added to the National Register of Historic Places, and we learned Baxter Properties has bought several tracts for future development.

Howard joined up and shortly thereafter, instead of playing on the Army’s tennis team like Ashe, he was sent straight to Vietnam to fight the enemy. There he just happened to make the acquaintance of an important general. When Howard was assigned to drive a truck convoy in an extremely dangerous assignment to the demilitarized zone, the general intervened and changed Howard’s orders to a safer job.

When his tour ended, Howard returned home, “and suddenly I loved law school. Vietnam will do that to you.”

English and coached tennis for a couple of years. Then he went to divinity school, served as a Presbyterian minister for 17 years and still preaches when called on.

But in 2002, everything changed when he opened his own law firm, and the practice of law and the ways in which it allows him to help others became his passion.

While his firm’s name is easily recognizable because of the TV ads with movie star Robert Vaughn, it no doubt surprised many in his audience to learn that Howard chooses his clients carefully and accepts only about 10 percent of those who contact him.

His firm’s mission statement tells it all: To honor Christ by providing a safe haven for justice and service through the practice of law.

“We tell our clients they will not hear a sermon, but we hope they will see one.”

Olympic gold shines as test of perseverance for Tarwater

Olympic Gold Medalist Davis Tarwater was prepared when the call came.

It was the moment he had been swimming for his entire life, and he was ready.

And one-tenth of a second almost cost him the opportunity.

Tarwater, who won the gold for the 4x200-meter freestyle relay in the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, recently shared his inspiring story with the Rotary Club of Farragut. It is a story of how determination and perseverance mixed with a little luck paid off to make a dream come true.

“The will to prepare and the desire to be great goes a long way,” Tarwater said as he wrapped up his story, explaining that talent shares in the success of great athletes, but persistence is what pays off in the end.

During his athletic career, he said he saw swimmers who were more talented and could have gone on to greatness but just stopped showing up.

Tarwater, 30, started swimming at the age of 7.

When he was 8 years old, his dreams of Olympic Gold

were born, and, at 15, he “sprung out of bed at 4:52 a.m.” to go to swim. At 16, he became the second youngest swimmer to qualify for the U.S. Olympic Trials. The first youngest was Michael Phelps, who eventually won 22 Olympic medals, the most ever for an Olympian.

Webb School in 2002 and accepted a scholarship at the University of Michigan.

Throughout his swimming career, Tarwater won numerous national titles and represented the United States in World Championships.

But Olympic Gold eluded him. He qualified for the 2004 U.S. Olympic Trials and missed a spot on the team by three-tenths of a second. He was 20.

During the 2008 trials, Davis, 24, twice broke an Olympic record, but he says he was without joy in the sport he once loved as desperate thoughts filled him: “My life’s going to come crashing down if I don’t make the Olympics.”

He missed a spot on the team, again by three-tenths of a second. He says he believed his Olympic dreams were done, and he began focusing on what his future would hold. He went to England to study, where he earned a master’s degree at the University of Oxford.

Davis says fate stepped in. The Olympics were ramping up for the London 2012 Games, and he decided to try once more, but this time, he was okay with either outcome.

He lost by one-tenth of a second to his best friend Peter Vanderkaay. He flew back home and hours later received the news from his coach that Phelps had dropped out of the 200 meter freestyle, potentially leaving a spot open for Tarwater. A second call from his coach confirmed it. “‘Davis, you’re an Olympian. Fly back to Omaha and accept your spot,’ ” Tarwater recalled the conversation. “It was an unbelievable moment for me. It was an unbelievable moment for my family.”

New business mixes fitness with boxing

By Bonny C. Millard Ashley Burns has a passion for business. Mixing that business passion with other interests and experiences guided him to purchasing a franchise of Title Boxing Club.

The name suggests a boxing facility, but instead TBC is a membership fitness center that specializes in boxing and kickboxing classes. Burns said a person can burn 1,000 calories in an hour taking one of the classes. Title Boxing Club, 134 N. Peters Road, opened at the end of March.

Burns, who earned a master’s of business administration from Torrent University International in California, served in the U.S. Air Force for eight years and was usually deployed nine months out of the year. He and his wife, Amber, wanted to start a family, so he started looking for a business investment. His research led him to Title Boxing Club.

His military service with its emphasis on fitness and training and his marital arts background made this franchise appealing, he said. He traveled to the headquarters in Kansas City to find out more about the company.

“It was by far one of the most fun workouts I’d ever had,” he said. “It was also

Title Boxing Club owner Ashley Burns

one of the hardest.”

The look of the club is unique: 40 heavy bags hang in the workout area. The classes are similar to aerobics and other group exercises but have marked differences, Burns said. The trainers who lead classes move from bag-to-bag, assisting participants and providing individualized instruction within the group.

The center offers 20 classes, and Burns said as the demand grows, he will add more classes. The center is already up from its initial 12 classes in the four

months since opening.

“We’ve added classes because our members have asked us to,” he said.

The club is membershipbased instead of a pay-asyou-go set up. Membership includes unlimited classes, and Burns recommends that members come three to four times a week.

“All you have to do is be motivated to show up, and we do the rest.”

Burns said he and his staff want to make sure that people feel comfortable during their visits there.

“We want to build relationships with our members,” he said. “We want to know what their goals are and help them to achieve those goals.” The age range for current members runs from 9 to 70 years old.

As his business has grown, so has his family. He and his wife have a daughter, Taylor, who is just over a month old. Burns said that while his life continues to change in positive ways, he hopes to offer positive change to others through fun and high energy workouts.

“Our goal is to change people’s lives,” he said. “We want to change the way they think about health.”

McIntyre makes the rounds

By Sara Barrett Knox County Schools Superintendent Dr. James McIntyre began making the rounds last week, visiting students and faculty at several schools to see how they were settling in. His tour will continue through Aug. 28.

Northshore Elementary School’s principal, Susan Davis, and assistant principal, Carl Whipple, welcomed McIntyre and an entourage of department heads and county officeholders to discuss plans for the school’s second year.

“We’ve got a culture established now with our school mascot (the Knight),” said Davis. “Our first-graders have the highest reading scores in the county, and our fifth-grade math scores are really strong.”

Davis told McIntyre the faculty blended well last year after coming from a number of schools in the area to open NES. McIntyre visited several classrooms, meeting students and asking them about their schoolwork. Another highlight of the tour

was seeing the playground with its new grass, funded mostly by the school’s PTA. The ground surrounding the play area was previously dirt. Davis said the school’s custodians are especially pleased since there will be fewer muddy footprints to clean up after recess.

By Anne Hart Janie and Turner Howard’s pretty house on Glenfield Drive in Sequoyah Hills was packed with an enthusiastic crowd last Sunday evening when threatening storms unexpectedly changed the venue for a long-awaited welcome event for new boarding students at Chattanooga’s McCallie School.

Turner Howard, a McCallie graduate who now sits on the board of trustees and spearheads the school’s alumni activities in this area, had offered the use of the backyard at the home of his mother, Sue Howard, a few blocks away on Scenic Drive for

the informal affair, but the prediction of storms caused a flurry of emails and instant messages to notify guests of the change in location.

The Howards managed the change, including a picnic supper, without a hitch. And because the predicted rain never fell, the younger crowd soon took to the front lawn for spirited game after game of cornhole, while the parents of new students chatted with the parents of returning students.

Jennifer McCall of the school’s admissions office was on hand to make the introductions and answer questions from students and parents alike.

There are six Knoxville boys who will enter McCallie as boarding students this fall, all as ninth-graders.

Five are graduates of The Episcopal School of Knoxville and the sixth is a graduate of Bearden Middle School.

The students and their parents are Jamie Hickling, son of Diane and Graham Hickling; Machen Murphy, son of Michelle and Leland Murphy; Todd Walker, son of Ingelein and Richard Myers; Andrew Natter, son of Cindy and Bruce Natter; Calder Woodward, son of Jennifer and Keith Woodward, and Emerson Wright, son of Andrea and Greg Wright.

Luis is from Hamburg, Germany and is staying with FBC family the Barkers, who have been empty nesters for several years. Luis is an athlete and is excited to play football, basketball and soccer for the CCS Lions this year.

CCS International Admissions Director Kenda McHale shares her family’s experiences with international students: “This year our family is hosting our sixth International student. We are blessed to have Nelson Schmidt from Germany. Our family has enjoyed the unique qualities and perspectives these students have brought into our lives.

Not just because we all sit down together to pray, eat, and share a conversation, but because our students bring so much to the table. Now, I don’t just mean the Korean kimchi, Chinese noodles, or the German schnitzel (which were all amazing by the way). I love the stories our students share about their families, their countries, and their customs.

We love to listen to their music, learn words from their native languages, and explore photos and maps of where they are from.

“Have you ever celebrated Chinese New Year, listened to the Wonder Girls, or had the pleasure of tasting real Swiss chocolate? Have you ever Skyped with a family clear across the globe? These are some of the fun and fascinating things our family has the opportunity to enjoy because of our International family.

“Bringing cultural diversity into your home helps teach children about compassion, relationship-building, and the traditions and values of other people. I was enriched by this experience as a teen, when my parents hosted students, and it is something I would never let my children miss out on!”

Third-grader Carson McHale, ninth-grader Alysda McHale and 11thgrader Nelson Schmidt start their first day of class at CCS. Nelson is from Germany. He is a world traveler whose favorite countries so far have been Brazil, South Africa and Indonesia.

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

Berghauser keeps game ‘on course’ with partial knee replacement As Robert Berghauser sat quietly at Parkwest Medical Center last December, his thoughts turned to the past.

“I was sitting there waiting to go into surgery, and I was thinking of all the abuse I put my knees through,” the Crossville retiree recalls, “like basic training in the Air Force, playing softball, and I was playing football and basketball a couple times a week.”

Berghauser says he doesn’t regret any of that, but he can certainly see how time took a toll on his knees. “I just wore them down, and it finally caught up with me. It just happens.”

Knee replacement surgery is something many people can benefit from and something many people delay. For Berghauser, the decision to have surgery came after the pain he’d been suffering for several years started getting in the way of his active, everyday life.

“I play golf almost every day, and when I’m not working, I’m walking,” Berghauser says. “I shoot in the 70s and low 80s, which is about an 8 to a 10 handicap.”

“But I was limping and I was just sore all the time,” Berghauser recalls. “One day it was the right knee, the next day it was the left one.”

This was a real annoyance for a man who embraces every game, and had become accustomed to walking and “trotting” the sizeable expanse of Fairfield Glade’s Stonehenge Golf Course in Crossville. Berghauser says people were starting to ask why he was limping so much, and he noticed he was becoming more “bow-legged.”

With his partial knee replacement performed at A visit to a doctor’s office revealed that Parkwest, Robert Berghauser is back on course. the cartilage in Berghauser’s knees had worn down to a point where there was bone rubbing against bone. Berghauser started giving more serious thought to taking some action.

Through one of his wife’s connections at work, Berghauser was referred to board certified orthopedic surgeon Dr. Chris Shaver, MD. Shaver says his goal is to get patients in, seen, treated and back to their active lives as quickly as possible. He decided the unicondylar (partial) knee replacement would be appropriate.

“Recent advances allow surgeons to perform this procedure through a smaller incision,” Shaver says, “and hence it is not as traumatic to the knee, making recovery often significantly quicker.”

Shaver says Berghauser met all the criteria for the partial knee replacement, with significant degenerative changes isolated to one area of the knee. Shaver says candidates for this type of surgery should also be people who have tried other methods of treatment

“I can actually walk. I have no pain, and they straightened me right up.”

- says Robert Berghauser of Dr. Chris Shaver and Parkwest Medical Center

What is uni knee? in a faster recovery. “Overall recovery can be half as long. Many patients are able to walk without aid within weeks and may only require a couple months of therapy.”

Patient satisfaction scores tend to be higher for this type of surgery than for total knee replacement, too. Patients who have a total knee replacement on one side and a partial on the other, often say the partial knee feels more like a natural part of the body.

All mechanical parts will eventually wear, just like parts of your car’s engine, and there are some cases in which total knee replacement still has to happen down the road. This is particularly true when degenerative arthritis progresses to other areas of the knee.

However, Shaver says conversion from a partial knee implant to a total knee implant is much easier than converting from one total knee implant to another.

As far as Shaver is concerned, that’s one of the biggest advantages. “It can be revised to a total knee replacement without significant difficulty,” he says.

If your knees are giving you pains and nothing seems to bring relief, see your doctor or call 374-PARK and ask for a referral.

Protect your knees Dr. Chris Shaver, an orthopedic surgeon with Parkwest Medical Center, explains there are two actions we can take to help our knees stay healthy.

1. Maintain a healthy weight. Shaver says every pound of weight you lose will translate into about five pounds of weight your knee doesn’t have to carry.

2. Limit unnecessary trauma. At work, consider using protective gear if you’re on your knees

frequently. At play, vary your exercise routine so the same points of your body aren’t taking on the same impact day after day, year after year.

Shaver says the most common culprit for knee trouble is osteoarthritis, which generally occurs as an accumulation of wear and tear of the joint over time. Following these two steps can help slow the effects of osteoarthritis and increase your chances of walking tall for many more miles to come.

Advantages of unicondylar (partial) knee replacement ■ Smaller operation overall – Less insult to the knee ■ Smaller incision – Usually about half or two-thirds of the incision without cutting as much muscle ■ Not as much bone removed – Most of the knee remains “native” ■ Shorter hospital stay – Most patients leave the hospital the day after surgery ■ Shorter recovery period – Patients often feel much better in less than two months ■ Blood transfusion very rarely required

■ Better movement in the knee – Expect normal or near normal range of motion ■ Feels more like a normal knee – All ligaments and tendons remain native, and function normally ■ Less need for physiotherapy – Usually around 2 months of full therapy ■ Able to be more active than after a total knee replacement ■ If necessary at some point, it can be revised to a total knee replacement without significant difficulty

Am I a candidate?

More than 600,000 knee replacements are performed each year in the United States. With an aging population staying in the workforce longer and obesity on the rise, demand for total knee replacement surgery is expected to exceed 3 million by the year 2030.* It’s estimated that about a third of those people could be candiChris Shaver, MD dates for an easier alternative. The unicondylar or “partial” knee replacement replaces only one part of a knee, instead of replacing all of the cartilage surfaces within the knee.

“Usually only the inner part of the knee joint is replaced through a smaller incision than would normally be used for a total knee replacement,” says Chris Shaver, MD , a board certified orthopedic surgeon at Parkwest. “Over the last 25 years, implant design, instrumentation and surgical technique have improved, making it a very successful procedure that’s not as traumatic to the knee.”

Shaver says it typically results

like injections, anti-inflammatory medicines and modifying physical activity.

“He showed me the MRI,” Berghauser says, “and asked me when I wanted surgery.”

Berghauser, who is also a singer, wanted to finish up a few performance dates. He decided he would be ready by Christmas.

While Berghauser had never heard of the procedure before, it’s performed regularly at Parkwest Medical Center. “That was quite a place,” says Berghauser of the hospital. “I was very surprised at the service, and I would recommend them to everybody.”

Berghauser participated in pre-op classes to help him prepare for surgery and recovery. He also says the care he received was very professional. As for the recovery process, Berghauser says physical therapy was hard work, but worth the challenge.

Having compassionate professionals to guide him through the process made a big difference. “The girls who worked in therapy were very nice to me and very congenial,” Berghauser says. “And when you’re hurting, you can be a bear, you know!”

Today, Berghauser is back on the golf course, playing nearly every day. He’s also working again.

“I can actually walk,” he says, “I have no pain, and they straightened me right up.”

Berghauser says he sees other people limping the way he did, or even wearing knee braces, and asks them when they’re going to get those aching knees taken care of.

With no regrets, Berghauser is glad he went through the procedure at Parkwest and says the entire experience was positive, right down to the café. “Those bad things they say about hospital food – it doesn’t pertain to them,” Berghauser says with a grin.

“I just recommend that other people, if they’re thinking about putting it off and suffering the pain, don’t,” Berghauser says.

“Just go ahead and get it done.”

Coffee Break with

What are the top three things on your bucket list?

Take another Hawaiian vacation. Tour Yellowstone National Park. Revisit some of our favorite vacation locations – Alaska, Niagara Falls, Gettysburg, Lake Vermilion, Minn., Japan and others.

What is one word others often use to describe you?

Dependable. Others can always depend on me to take care of my commitments.

What is your passion?

Helping others with their health, exercise and wellness goals; coaching them to get their desired results; and sharing that success with them.

With whom, living or dead, would you most like to have a long lunch?

Ron Garrett

Ron Garrett grew up with six siblings in the small coalmining town of Benedict, in Lee County, Va. There’s nothing there but kudzu now, he says.

Garrett himself left at 18.

“Like the rest of the folks, I went to Michigan to work,” he says. “I couldn’t afford to go to college.”

He had various jobs before he went to work at age 21 for Ford Motor Co. – and don’t make the mistake of calling it “one of” the Big 3.

“There’s only one Big 3 – the others are second and third,” he says. He readily reels off the accomplishments of Henry Ford, including building schools and starting apprenticeship programs.

“I went through their apprenticeship program,” says Garrett. “Ford Motor Co. basically gave me my education because they would pay for my education as long as I would take the time to go to school.

“Now, I was a very slow learner … If someone graduates from high school and it takes them 25 years to graduate from college, they’ve got to be a slow learner. That’s my theory – I could be wrong.”

Garrett is a jokester, but he was serious about learning and got a bachelor’s of engineering technology from Wayne State University. He wanted to set a good example for his son and daughter. He didn’t want his wife, Sylvia, a registered dietitian, to be their only educational role model.

He was a “Southern boy right fresh out of the woods” when he met Sylvia in Michigan.

“She chased me down, and I stopped and let her catch me.” They will celebrate their 50th anniversary next year.

Garrett, 70, held various roles during his 37 years with Ford, the last of which brought him to Tennessee. He came down in 1990 on a launch team for a joint-venture automotive-glass plant in Vonore but settled his family in West Knoxville. (His kids have stayed here, and he and Sylvia have three grandchildren.)

Before he retired in 2001, he had become a distributor for Herbalife, and he’s happy to show photographic and paper evidence of the change Herbalife made for him, going from obese and lethargic in 1999 to trim and energetic by 2001.

“In ’07 and ’09, I caddied in the Knoxville Open,” he says, adding that he’s about 20 pounds off his target weight now. “Most people at my age are not medicationfree and all their tests in the normal range. I am.”

King David. He wrote most of the Psalms. I’d like to talk to him about what inspired him to write them.

Other than your parents, who has had the biggest influence on your life and why?

Personal life: In 1964, God brought my wife, friend and supporter into my life. She has always been there for encouragement and support. In my professional life: George Koss, engineering manager who opened many doors for my professional career.

I still can’t quite get the hang of …

Maximizing the efficiency of my time.

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

The Garretts learned about QuickGym at a wellness assembly in Albuquerque in 2006. They opened QuickGym of West Knoxville at Renaissance Center in 2007. In an echo of the old “I’m not just the president, I’m also a member” commercials, Garrett made use of the specialized range-of-motion machines himself.

“In three months, my excess body fat went from 5 percent to 1 percent, and the only thing I changed was using the machines.”

Sit back and have a Coffee Break as you get to know Ron Garrett.

What is your favorite quote from TV or a movie?

“Make my day” – Clint Eastwood in “Dirty Harry.”

Personalized leather Bible with a zipper from my parents.

What is the best advice your mother ever gave you?

You may not be financially secure, but you can be honest, clean, dress properly and respect others.

What is your social media of choice?

Facebook

What is the worst job you have ever had?

It probably was working as a plumber/pipefitter for Ford. Repairing commercial heating coils in Michigan during the winter months was always dirty and cold.

What was your favorite Saturday morning cartoon?

Bugs Bunny. “That’s all folks!”

What are you guilty of?

Procrastination! We’ll discuss that tomorrow.

What irritates you?

Irresponsible (inconsiderate) people who lack respect for others.

What is your favorite material possession?

My 2006 VTX 1300 (Honda motorcycle)

What is your greatest fear?

What are you reading currently?

“Killing Jesus: A History” by Bill O’Reilly & Martin Dugard

What was your most embarrassing moment?

My senior trip to Washington, D.C., going to visit the historical sites that day and having a photo taken at the Capitol. I spilled hot chocolate on my suit (the first one I ever owned) and had to wear it all day. I stood in the back for the photo.

Not fulfilling the goals that God has for me.

If you could do one impulsive thing, what would it be?

Motorcycle tour to West Coast on the northern route and return on the southern route. Tour as many states as possible, seeing the historical sites in each state.

It can be your neighbor, club leader, bridge partner, boss, teacher – anyone you think would be interesting to Shopper-News readers. Email suggestions to Betsy Pickle, betsypickle@yahoo.com. Include contact information if you can.

Meeting Judge Reeves Shopper-News interns Zoe Risley, Julia Grant and Sydnie Seay were pleased to meet the Hon. Pamela L. Reeves, the first female U.S. District Court judge in the district, at a naturalization ceremony. Photos by R. White

Welcoming new citizens is last assignment for interns The last event for the Shopper-News interns was a naturalization ceremony held Aug. 8 at the Knoxville City County Building. It is safe to say there wasn’t a dry eye in the main assembly room as more than 160 immigrants became American citizens.

Interns Zoe Risley and Julia Grant, plus Sydnie Seay, a friend of Julia, attended.

Sara Barrett

The ceremony began with opening remarks by both Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett and Knoxville Mayor Madeline Rogero.

U.S. District Judge Pamela Reeves presided over the ceremony and welcomed America’s newest citizens with metaphorical open arms. This was Reeves’ first naturalization ceremony

since being appointed in March.

Reeves talked about her upbringing and how her early circumstances did not keep her from becoming the first female judge appointed to the bench in this district of federal court.

“I came from a small house by a creek, with an outhouse and no running water. The great thing about this country is that you can become the person you want to be. It is not based on where you were born,” said Reeves.

Sudan native Omjoma Sanadi and her 6-year-old daughter, Deanna Aian, sat next to our group as they waited for Sanadi’s 23-yearold son, Nader Luka, to receive his citizenship. Sanadi is beginning the lengthy testing portion of the citizenship process and says she is pleased to make the effort. She talks about the violence in Sudan and how she fled with her children in hopes of living a safer and happier life. As to what she

enjoys most about being in America, Sanadi said simply, “Freedom.”

It takes each person approximately 10 minutes to walk to the podium and receive his or her certificate of citizenship. The importance of the moment can be seen in many ways. One recipient takes longer than most to climb the few steps to the judge because he is on crutches. He had just broken his leg but wanted to complete his long journey to citizenship.

Family members in the balcony cheer and proudly videotape their loved ones shaking hands with the judge and receiving a small American flag. Each new citizen’s name is announced as he or she receives the certificate.

“It is an honor for me to stand here as you complete your journey,” said Rogero during her welcoming remarks. “No matter what brought you here, bloom where you are planted. And exercise your right to vote.”
