Paying patriotism forward

“I am not a hero,” said Major James Taylor. “And Roger will tell you he’s not a hero either. We simply did what we were trained to do.”

It was a banner day for Hardin Valley Academy, for it isn’t every day nearly 2,000 teenagers get face to face with real American heroes. Students, faculty and guests cheered as Col. Roger Donlon and Major James Taylor, two of the 79 surviving Medal of Honor recipients, arrived aboard a Black Hawk helicopter to a hero’s welcome. JROTC, marching band, dance team and cheer squad honored the warriors with an assembly showcasing their talents. Principal Sallee Reynolds was moved to tears by the red, white and blue display of appreciation for the soldiers’ service to the United States. “It was a tremendous honor to have Col. Donlon and Major Taylor here,” Reynolds said. “Many of our students have stopped by to say what an amazing day this is To page A-3 Col.

Saying goodbye to Joy McCroskey More than 1,500 people turned out at a reception at the City County Building for Joy McCroskey, who was retiring from her position as a court clerk. McCroskey is an encyclopedia of county government. If she writes her story it probably would classify as fiction because nobody would believe what has gone on could be true.

David Surber, who completed treatment for prostate cancer at Provision Center for Proton Therapy, was able to maintain his active lifestyle while undergoing treatment. An avid golfer, he was able to head to the course after his morning proton therapy treatments.

By Shannon Carey David Surber is not a typical prostate cancer patient. Diagnosed in his mid40s, Surber found himself plunged into a world of questions with no easy answers. With a successful career, a wife and three kids, and his whole life in front of him, he was looking for a solution with as few longterm side effects as possible. “In my experience, there is no cancer concierge for prostate cancer, saying ‘Here are the best treatments for someone like you,’” he said. “It’s very difﬁcult to ﬁnd information for the healthy 46-year-old guy.” Through research and personal connections, Surber

found the Provision Center for Proton Therapy at just the right time. The Knoxville center opened in January 2014, the same month Surber was diagnosed. A native Knoxvillian now living in Birmingham, Alabama, Surber was able to stay with his parents during treatment. His outlook is good, and he attributes that outlook to early detection and the excellent care he received at Provision Center for Proton Therapy. Surber got a simple blood test to check for prostate-speciﬁc antigen (PSA) during a physical. When the test showed elevated PSA levels, a follow-up biopsy conﬁrmed the diagnosis, catching his cancer in the early stages.

Get checked!

Prostate cancer is the second most common cause of cancer deaths among men. The purpose of the “Real Men Wear Gowns” campaign is to raise awareness about the importance of prostate cancer screenings for early detection. Provision is proud partner with WBIR on this important initiative. Log on to wbir.com/realmen to learn more and to view the commercial. Visit one of the Eddie Check locations on September 18 & 19 for a free PSA test.

for men 40 years of age or older, or earlier in the event of a family history of prostate cancer. Surber encouraged men to take advantage of the free Eddie Check screenings offered in the Knoxville area, or to schedule the test with their personal physicians. “Why would you put it off?” he asked. “Too busy? You’re going to be really busy when you’re trying to ﬁgure out how to treat it.” Surber even translated his passion for early detection into his own outreach effort. His blog, titled “An Inconvenient Gift,” chronicles his journey with prostate cancer from diagnosis through treatment. He hopes the blog will help men to be proactive about getting screened for prostate cancer. “Get checked!” said Surber. “Dealing with it now is so much better.”

Eddie Check will be held at six locations on Thursday and seven on Friday (10 different locations) in eight East Tennessee counties including Knox, Anderson, Scott, Hamblen, Cocke, Blount, Roane and McMinn. Blood samples for PSA screening will be taken at every location during all hours, even if you don’t donate blood. This free PSA screening is available for men 40 years of age or older, or in the event of family history at an age 10 years younger than the affected relative's age at his cancer onset. “Early detection is always the best protection against prostate cancer,” said Marcio Fagundes, MD, medical director of the Provision Center for Proton Therapy. “The prostate speciﬁc antigen (PSA) test is one tool that men have available to detect the presence of prostate cancer. While an elevated PSA does not always mean cancer is present, it is an important benchmark for men to monitor and share with their family physician.” Eddie Check times and locations in Knox County are:

Matt Ladra, M.D. Matt Ladra, the new Director of Pediatric Services at Provision. His ﬁrst weeks on the job have been ﬁlled with preparations for his patients, from gathering a support staff loaded with pediatric experience to commissioning a fun mural that will lead kids from the playroom to the treatment room. Originally from California, Ladra’s journey has taken him all over the country. He completed undergraduate work at Princeton University, then went on to Tulane for a masters in public health and a medical degree. Most recently, he spent two years as the Pediatric Proton Fellow at Massachusetts

General Hospital in Boston. Ladra said he chose pediatrics because “in medical school, that was the population I connected with the most. “We have the same taste in toys and technology,” he joked. “Kids are just so inspiring,” he said. “And the people working with them tend to be so positive.” He is excited to join Provision in Knoxville for a number of reasons. He says Provision Center for Proton Therapy has the most advanced proton technology in the country. Ladra added that he loves the outdoors, and East Tennessee is the perfect place to enjoy nature. Ladra encouraged parents of children with pediatric cancers to consider proton therapy. With fewer short- and long-term side effects, the treatment can improve quality of life for the child. They can continue in school during treatment. Proton therapy lessens negative impacts on surrounding tissues, a very important beneﬁt for growing youngsters. “(At Provision) we have one of the nicest proton delivery systems in the country in a wonderful facility with a very friendly staff,” Ladra said. “I absolutely believe in this place.”

Mr. Karns High gets a crown

No one can accuse the guys at Karns High School of lacking school spirit. Eight guys vied for the title “Mr. Karns High School” last Tuesday at Karns High School. Cheer captain Callie Johnson coordinated the hilarious event in hopes of raising $300 of the $500 required to run for homecoming queen. Reigning Miss Knoxville and Karns High alum Caty Davis acted as master of ceremonies, barely holding in her own laughter as the contestants struggled through evening gown and interview segments in hopes of winning the coveted “Mr. High School” sash and crown. Senior James Crouse, also on the cheer team, walked away with the glittering crown and a $25 cash prize, waving to the crowd in true beauty queen fashion. “Oh what a surprise! I just can’t believe it,” exclaimed Crouse. “I will use my reign to promote world peace!” ■

Donlon said, “My message to you is to thank all those people on your team. There’s no ‘I’ in ‘team.’ Your parents, teachers and leaders all worked on your behalf and trained you to be who you are today.

government It’s about McIntyre Anyone who thinks the upcoming vote for school board chair is a choice between Mike McMillan and Doug Harris just hasn’t been paying attention. It’s no more about McMillan and Harris than the 9th District school board election was about Pam Trainor and Amber Rountree. When politicians remove the citizens’ right to elect a school superintendent, then each school board race becomes a referendum on the job performance of the appointed superintendent. It’s not accidental that Jim McIntyre faces an unfriendly board majority likely chaired by Mike McMillan. Is McMillan my first choice for chair? Nope. He wasn’t even my first choice for 8th District school board member. But he’s got seniority on the four newcomers and he’s probably earned

Sandra Clark

the right to lead the board, where he’s been a frequent victim of 8-1 votes. Amazing that 8-1 suddenly became 4-5 and folks don’t tie that to McIntyre. There’s another election in two years. If Tony Norman takes on Doug Harris, Norman wins. If Karen Carson tries for a fourth term, she loses. And what’s now 4-5 becomes 2-7. Those worried about Mike McMillan chairing the Board of Education ought to consider the next step: McMillan chairing the search committee for our next appointed superintendent.

Obama ate my actuator wire While cruising down Kingston Pike recently, I saw the “check engine” warning flash on my car’s instrument panel. I immediately suspected something in my engine demanded checking and made for the dealership.

Larry Van Guilder

The service technician confirmed my hunch, fi xed me up with a loaner vehicle and promised to call when they rooted out the malfunction. He called an hour later. “The VVT-I actuator wire has been severed,” he said. I’ve severed relationships, bonds and friendships, and once nearly severed my thumb with a bread knife while under the delusion that I was a baker. But severing a VVT-I actuator wire sounded faintly dangerous and possibly illegal, so I responded promptly: “Huh?” “Looks like a rodent chewed it,” he said. “This happens every now and then. We’ve had mice drop from the engine in the service bay.” Mice chew engine wires? Who knew? The “minor repair” set me back only $258.35, and at first I was happy the gluttonous rodent hadn’t devoured me out of more cash,

but soon I smelled a rat. Knowing how jealous the neighborhood raccoon is of his territory, it was hard to believe he would have allowed another four-footed critter to encroach on his reservation. I was sure a more sinister plot was afoot, and after due consideration I knew I had the answer. It’s hard these days to escape what former Vice President Spiro Agnew called the “nattering nabobs of negativity.” Agnew’s nabobs were mostly newspapers critical of the Nixon administration. Today’s version is right-wing radio, television and print commentators critical of President Obama. These “pundits” were just background noise until my actuator wire was assassinated by – allegedly – a naive mouse. With rising suspicion I checked my auto repair records going back to the Reagan years: not once in the years before Obama’s presidency had my actuator wire been severed. I saw the light. I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that through mind-control techniques developed by the CIA, rodent wire-severing is on the upsurge. Why? Jobs. With new job postings faltering and a parsimonious Congress unwilling to loosen the purse strings for some desperately needed infrastructure work, the president has to work in the shadows to pump the econ-

High-paid attorney joins those leaving TVA Remember Ralph Rodgers, the TVA chief legal counsel who makes $1.9 million a year while TVA is laying off hundreds of employees? Well, it seems he is about to retire. Not clear how generous his pension will be, but count on it being more than most TVA folks about to be laid off. Most people in East Tennessee have never heard of Rodgers but he has a nice nest egg now at ratepayer expense. Surprisingly, this has not become an issue in some of the congressional contests. ■ Mayor Rogero flew to Dallas Sept. 4 to view the Dallas Zoo. She flew out on the private plane of Chelly Clayton, Knoxville Zoo board member, along with other board members. She returned on American Eagle the next morning in time for the Tennessee Valley Fair luncheon at Chilhowee Park. Her former deputy mayor, Eddie Mannis, also a zoo board member, paid $412 for that flight. The Knoxville Zoo paid for the Dallas hotel room, and the city paid a total of $35 for the trip – $25 baggage fee and $10 breakfast. It’s good to know former deputy mayors stay in touch with their former bosses. Mannis hosted a major fundraiser at his Kingston Pike home this spring for Rogero’s re-election. The Knoxville Zoo is consider-

ing expansion. It is a major asset to the city and East Tennessee. ■ Democratic U.S. Senate nominee Gordon Ball has challenged Sen. Lamar Alexander to four debates. Ball does not expect Alexander to accept and probably prefers the issue of not debating over an actual debate. Alexander might be well advised to agree to several as it would allow him to show how mentally agile he is at age 74 and how much better grounded on issues facing the Senate he is than Ball. They also could discuss President Obama and Sen. Harry Reid. Tennesseans would benefit from seeing both candidates side by side. In the Democratic primary, Terry Adams was the more skillful speaker on issues and more consistently a Democrat. Alexander has debated opponents over the years such as Jake Butcher, Randy Tyree and Bob Clement. Ball can check with each of them to ask how well Lamar did. Ball prefers that Alexander

decline so he can attack him for not debating (although Ball declined to debate his own rival, fellow attorney Adams, in the primary). Ball should be careful what he asks for. It might happen. ■ Fort Kid, at the World’s Fair Park, was built 23 years ago through the efforts of community leaders and volunteers. There will be massive volunteer help to renovate Fort Kid from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 20. To volunteer, visit www.fortkidknox.com Fort Kid was scheduled for demolition until this column pointed out it had a $70,000 trust fund that could be used (but had been ignored by city leaders). Mayor Rogero reversed her administration’s position after a productive talk with civic activist Beth Waters, who spearheaded the first Fort Kid. This shows people can be heard. Team Rogero is now working closely with Waters to extend Fort Kid’s life another 20 years. ■ The Knoxville Botanical Garden, 2743 Wimpole Ave. in East Knoxville, will have a Family Fall Festival from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 21, to which all are invited. The varied activities include face painting, petting zoo, crafts, hayrides and a book walk plus various crafts for

purchase. It should be lots of fun. ■ Jamie Rowe, longtime Fountain City resident, is waging an effective campaign for school board to replace Indya Kincannon, who resigned. The host committee for her Sept. 9 kickoff was a who’s who of influential people in her district. Two current City Council members, Mark Campen and Nick Della Volpe, were on the host committee along with three former council members, Carlene Malone, Charlie Thomas and Jack Sharp, as was former County Commissioner and newly elected state Democratic Committee member Mark Harmon. Rowe is opposed by Charlotte Dorsey and Tracie Sanger, who has the endorsement of Kincannon. Rowe will be a hardworking, very independent member of the school board who cannot be intimidated by anyone. She will do her homework to a fault on the board if elected. ■ A year from now, we will face a Knoxville city primary for mayor and City Council. All four council members completing their first term told this writer they will seek a second and final term on council in 2015. They are Finbarr Saunders, Marshall Stair, George Wallace and Mark Campen.

Amendment 1 fight is 14 years in the making

It’s strange that Tennessee, the most comfortable notch on the Bible belt and the stomping grounds of the Tea Party, has a constitution that gives a broader right to abortion than the landmark Roe v. Wade decision. In the 2000 Planned Parenthood of Middle Tennessee et al. v. Sundquist case, the Tennessee Supreme Court ruled that “a woman’s right to terminate her pregnancy is a vital part of the right to privacy guaranteed by the Tennessee Constitution.” The case struck down previous rules regarding abortions after the first trimester and a mandatory two-day waiting period. Since then, anti-abortion groups have been raring for a fight. They’ll get their chance in November, when Tennesseans will vote on Amendment 1, which gives legislators a say in the state’s abortion laws. The proposed amendment reads: “Nothing in this Constitution secures or protects a right to abortion or requires the funding of an abortion. The people retain the right through their elected state representatives and state senators to enact, amend or repeal statutes regarding To page A-5 abortion, including cir-

Wendy Smith

cumstances of pregnancy resulting from rape or incest or when necessary to save the life of the mother.” The rest of the country is paying attention, says Steven Hershkowitz of the Vote No to One political action committee. Tennessee is one of “very few” states with constitutional language that favors privacy rights, and what happens here could set a precedent. “This is a national issue,” says Hershkowitz. Amendment 1 would give the Legislature more power to restrict abortion, and advocates haven’t hidden their intent to institute an absolute ban on abortion, he says. Proponents interpret the amendment in a softer, fuzzier way. The Family Action Council of Tennessee website says the amendment will make the constitution “neutral” on

abortion while still being subject to the abortion rulings of the U.S. Supreme Court. But there’s no doubt that the amendment could open the door for change. “Tennessee voters should be able to decide about laws regulating the abortion industry,” says Angel Brewer, treasurer of the Yes on 1 political action committee. Both sides claim to have the best interests of women at heart. The amendment would allow politicians to set restrictions on abortion even if a woman is a victim of rape or incest, or if her health is in danger, Hershkowitz warns. A woman should make private medical decisions with her family, faith and doctor without interference from politicians, he says. Women should have information about what will happen to their bodies, says Brewer. The 2000 Supreme Court ruling struck down the informed-consent law along with a waiting period. The public should be aware that abortion facilities are not required to be licensed and inspected, although some do so voluntarily, she says.

Who do You RACE for?

Both sides have passionate backers with deep pockets. But if donations are an indication of voter support, Yes on 1 is in the lead. By the end of June, the group had raised approximately $518,000, while Vote No to One had raised about $360,000. Most of Vote No’s contributions came during the second quarter, including $189,500 from Planned Parenthood of Middle and East Tennessee.

Joy McCroskey: Time for a change of scenery More than 1,500 people turned out at a reception at the City County Building to pay tribute to Joy McCroskey, who was retiring from her position as Knox County Clerk of Criminal Court, Fourth Circuit Court and the Criminal Division of General Sessions Court at the end of August.

Anne Hart

After nearly half a century in the clerk’s office, McCroskey is a virtual encyclopedia of county government and its many players. She could write a bestseller and says she just might do that, but she will probably have to sell it as fiction because nobody would believe that much of what has gone on could be true.

For the past few weeks she has been catching up on things she enjoys, including visiting with her beloved grandchildren. She was replaced by Mike Hammond, who has criticized her tenure, but that doesn’t mean Joy McCroskey left without friends. From the cleaning staff to judges and their staffs, current and former elected officials, a bunch of noteworthy attorneys and many, many just plain folks, they all came to pay tribute to McCroskey. A few of the old-timers recalled little Joy Rader tagging along with her dad, the late Pete Rader, a widely known local political figure, to meetings and campaign events when she was young. That was just the beginning. Joy Rader McCroskey says her first big involvement in politics was when she signed on as a “Baker Belle” in Sen. Howard Baker’s first campaign in 1966. “That was between my

years, followed Randles in office. When her chief deputy, Wanda Odom, retired, McCroskey was named to that job, a position she held until Phillips died in June of 2008. The judges then named McCroskey clerk, and she named Norman chief deputy. She won election that November and was re-elected in 2010. By her retirement, the Joy McCroskey, center, was joined by family members at a farewell reception in her honor at the courts she oversaw had City County Building.

Credit cards and driver’s licenses For several years our 1956 Farragut High School graduating class has met the third Monday of every month at IHOP on Lovell Road. There were only 32 students in our class, reflecting the rural nature of our area 58 years ago. Surprisingly, we still have much in common after all those years. Of the original 32 students, 12 have passed on and, for the surviving spouses, the monthly meetings also serve as a significant support group. An often-discussed topic is the significant changes we have seen over the past 58 years. Of course, cell phones, laptops, tablets and home computers are but a few,

and for most of us the use of these new technologies is a little out of our comfort zone. Believe it or not, we still write letters and send note cards for appropriate occasions. At a recent meeting, the subject of credit cards and driver’s licenses offered some reminiscing. As for my family, credit cards were still a few decades in the future, and I doubt we would

have even understood their importance, or for that matter their need. If you bought something, you paid cash for it, and if you didn’t have the money, the “big box” stores offered layaway plans. Likewise, the terms “hackers” and “scams” would not have been part of our vocabulary, nor would we have understood how people could postpone debt to the distant future by paying only the required minimum each month. We always tried to pay off our layaway item quickly to gain the use of the merchandise. Of course, that arrangement didn’t provide immediate gratification, but it did provide great anticipation.

Fortunately, I have never been the victim of hackers, but we have experienced a credit card scam. Several years ago, we received a call from our bank informing us that they were can-

Junior Praise celebrates Medal of Honor recipients On Thursday, Sept. 11, the Junior Praise elementary choir from CAK was honored to sing at the Medal of Honor National Convention’s President’s Breakfast. The 78-member choir shared in the National Anthem, and entertained the recipients and their guests with “You’re A Grand Old Flag,” complete with kazoos. After the performance, the

emcee of the event commented, “If this is any indication of the next generation, I think we are in good hands.” Elementary principal Kelly Kennedy had the honor of meeting and visiting with Woody Williams, the last living recipient of the Medal of Honor from the Battle of Iwo Jima. “He was so very personable, a true hero honored by

President Harry Truman on Oct. 5, 1945. Wow... gave me chills!” She also had the pleasure of thanking him and several other Medal of Honor recipients for their service. Junior Praise Choral Director Lois Barto said “The children represented their choir, CAK, and our Lord with outstanding behavior and musical talents.”

Campus-wide Admissions Open House, 8:30 a.m. Wednesday, October 22. Prospective families are welcome to attend this yearly event, designed to give a glimpse into campus life at CAK. CAK DAY! originates at The Campus Center building (home of the Admissions office), where guests will be greeted by members of our administration. Information will be shared about admissions, academics, arts programs and athletic opportunities. We will then board a bus and visit all three academic buildings, allowing time for touring and questions at each. Mid-way through, guests will enjoy a brief coffee break while hearing about our lunch program and the admissions process from a parent’s perspective. Please plan to be on campus for about two hours. Note that this is not a drop-in event, and we will do our best to start on time and stay on schedule. The event will conclude at (or before) 10:30 a.m., but guests are welcome to leave at any point. As with all of our events, parents can attend with or without their children; please use your discretion and base your decision on what best suits your family. Note that in a group setting every effort will be made to accommodate specific questions; however, individual needs might be best asked in confidence either via phone, email or pre-arranged appointment with the admissions director. Please see below for information about scheduling a private tour, which some choose to do instead of or in addition to CAK DAY! or the CAK Mornings. An RSVP is not requested, but questions can be directed to Amy Williams at 865-690-4721 or awilliams@cakmail.org.

CAK MORNINGS ■ Each school has a morning set aside for visitors to enjoy a cup of coffee and to hear from that particular building’s principals and staff. Following a brief word of welcome, group

tours will take place, allowing for classroom viewing and questions. CAK Mornings start at 9 a.m. and last about an hour. Upcoming dates are: ■ Wednesday, Nov. 19 -Middle School (rising 6th 8th grade) ■ Thursday, Dec. 4 -- Elementary School and Early Learning Program (age 3½ - rising 5th grade) ■ Wednesday, Dec. 10 -- High School (rising 9th – 12th grade)

PRIVATE TOURS AND SHADOW DAYS ■ Attending a group event, such as those listed above, isn’t required. We understand that everyone has different schedules, needs and preferences. To best accommodate you, personal, one-on-one campus tours are scheduled throughout the school year — during the school day — allowing for specific questions to be asked and interests or concerns to be addressed. Schedule your tour today by contacting the admission office. ■ The opportunity to shadow a CAK student is open to applicants who are rising 6th - 11th graders. Shadow days are not an option for elementary students. Shadow days are scheduled by appointment for families already working through the admission process. Please contact Amy Williams, who will assist in making the necessary arrangements with the appropriate principal. Please note that some days are not open for shadowing due to special events or off-campus trips, and shadow days are not offered the first two weeks or last two weeks of school in either semester. NOTE: It is parental preference as to whether or not you choose to bring your children to an open house event or tour. The admissions office does not have a policy relating to this option. ■ For info or to schedule a visit, contact Amy Williams at 865-690-4721 or awilliams@cakmail.org.

In His hands He whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for he gives the Spirit without measure. The Father loves the Son and has placed all things in his hands. Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life … . (John 3: 34-36a NRSV) But Thomas (who was called the Twin), one of the twelve, was not with them when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord.” But he said to them, “Unless I see the mark of the nails in his hands, and put my finger in the mark of the nails and my hand in his side, I will not believe.” (John 20: 24-25 NRSV)

Stitching up friendship By Wendy Smith West Hills Baptist Church member Monica Schmidt was teaching crochet classes professionally when the church began a small group ministry program. Monica had already observed that many of her students were older and widowed, and she knew they were looking for opportunities to get together with other women. So she started a crochet ministry, and expected the once-a-month gathering to attract mostly older women. She was surprised when a more diverse crowd showed up. Stay-at-home moms, like Angela Crestwell, came

in search of adult company. “I come to unload and to get my mind on other things,” she says. But Angela also benefitted from the expertise of the group. She sells crocheted kitchen items at the New Harvest Park Farmer’s Market, and Monica has helped her come up with her own patterns. “Having the group together, we learn from each other,” says Monica. The crochet ministry started with the goal of producing hats for babies at East Tennessee Children’s Hospital. After crocheting a few dozen, members opted to work on hats when

Your permanent record

I remember having a fourth-grade social-studies teacher who would constantly threaten that if wee didn’t do whatever it wass she was wanting us to do, o, it would go on our “permaanent record.” That “permanent record” line might sound a little silly to me today, but it sure did work on a group of fourthgraders! We had images of not getting into college, not getting a job or our life being ruined because of our fourth-grade social-studies “permanent record.” Well, as ridiculous that sounds, there is in fact a “permanent record” that is

When my daughter Jordan was 8 and Eden was 5, our little family ceased our wandering in the North and moved back home to East Tennessee. Such a move entailed many changes: a new school (new to them; not to me!), a new (old) house, new friends for the girls, old friends for me. We also had to find a new pediatrician. I had accepted a position at a small church, so I asked my pastor who cared for her daughters. She gave me the name of their pediatrician, Dr. Donald Larmee. When he walked into the examining room, I knew we were in the presence of a special man. He introduced himself to me and to my girls, and then he did something I had never seen a doctor do. He asked Jordan if he could see her hands. She put out her little hands, and he took them in his big ones. He looked at the backs of her hands, then gently turned her hands palms up. From there, he went on with his examination. I later asked him why he did that. He explained that hands are relatively nonthreatening, impersonal and accustomed to being touched. It was his way of putting Jordan at ease. At that point, I fell in love, just a little. Needless to say, he took care of my girls until they outgrew their need for a pediatrician. In fact, as I recall, he did their physicals for admission to college. Years later, when both of my girls were all grown up, I stood to announce the opening hymn in church and was surprised to see Dr. Larmee standing in the fourth pew. Later in that service I had

the privilege of assisting at his grandchild’s baptism. As I always do, I held onto the baby’s foot – not the hand – during the baptism, remembering what my daughters’ paternal grandmother always said: “Think of how many steps that little foot will take!” When I think of Jesus’ hands, I always think of Thomas, the doubter, who wanted proof that Jesus was alive again. “Unless I see the mark of the nails in his hands, and put my finger in the mark of the nails and my hand in his side, I will not believe,” Thomas declared to the other disciples. Thomas gets a bad rap for that statement, and for his skepticism. But given the score card on resurrections up to that point in history, I have to say, I understand his reluctance to believe. When it came to the moment of truth, a week after the Resurrection, when Thomas stood in the presence of the resurrected Jesus, he needed no further proof. Jesus offered his hands, inviting Thomas to touch the wounds, and to put his hand in his pierced side. Thomas was, at last, past his doubting. He didn’t need any further proof. The presence of Jesus, alive again, was enough for him. He declared, “My Lord and my God!” Thomas’ faith was in His hands.

HVA Ensemble sings for ‘Foreigner’ Classic rock group Foreigner will perform Sept. 20 at the Tennessee Theatre, and it needs a few good high school students to sing back up. Several schools in East Tennessee are competing for the opportunity including Hardin Valley Academy, Jefferson County, Bearden, South-Doyle and Tennessee School for the Deaf. HVA choral director Teresa Scoggins pitched the idea to the school’s ensemble. “(The competition) is out of the ordinary for us,” said Scoggins. “But, it is important to be well rounded.” The group rehearsed for about a week and a half before filming a performance. Former HVA Ensemble member and senior Austin Christiansen directed the video production of the students singing Foreigner’s hit “Cold as Ice” complete with 1980s rock star attire. Christiansen The video took two hours to tape, and he feels the energy of the students performing is what makes it stand out among the rest of the entries. The winners will receive $500 for their school, which would help purchase costumes for the ensemble’s other performances throughout the school year.

The possibility of performing on stage with an established rock band is “exhilarating and exciting, and it would be the moment of my life,” said Tryston. Regarding the actual contest, he said “A lot of it is about experience and wondering if everyone will think you’re the best.”

Barney Fife (aka Sammy Sawyer) performed for the senior adults at the fair. Part of his act includes bringing seniors onstage to help re-enact characters from “The Andy Griffith Show.” Betty Smelcher does her best “fun girls from Mount Pilot” impersonation as her husband, Walter, waits to act out Ernest T. Bass.

What do corn dogs, chicken on a stick, funnel cakes, fried Oreos and chocolate-covered bacon have in common? The Tennessee Valley Fair, of course! Each year the fair opens its doors to senior adults and allows them the opportunity to enjoy the fair in the early hours of the day, visit booths, eat lunch and explore the exhibits. Inside the Pepsi tent were booths providing information on health care, senior assisted-living facilities, a photo booth with complimentary keepsakes, entertainment from comedians Emma Roid and Sammy Sawyer as Barney Fife, mar-

l d more. velous mutts and The Jacob Building featured ribbon winners from the photography contest, 4-H projects, culinary arts winners and information booths for various products. Inside the Kerr Building were displays for the bra/hat bedazzling contest, handmade quilts and other home items. The Tennessee Valley Fair is a big event and so are the arcade prizes. The fair opens its doors to senior adults and other individuals one day during the event so that they may enjoy the fair with less foot traffic.

Respecting Mother Nature Monday wants better way for humans, animals

News from Foothills Craft Guild

By Betsy Pickle

Art Fair and Family Day By Aleex Connor Celebrate art and artists with the Knoxville Museum of Art and the Foothills Craft Guild at a special Art Fair and Family Day from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 20, at the Museum on World’s Fair Park Drive. Enjoy live music, delicious food and fine crafts from over 50 individuals demonstrating and selling their work. This event is part of the Knoxville Museum of Art’s weeklong celebration of the arts to capture the imagination of both children and adults from Knoxville and surrounding areas. The

Foothills Craft Guild will have a variety of guild members participating, with fine crafts for sale such as pottery, sculpture, jewelry, fiber work, handmade soaps, leatherwork, glass work and much more! Plus, you can see artisans actually demonstrating how they handcraft their work. Admission is free, and during this special event the museum’s doors will be open and free to the public. Info: www.knoxart.org or www.foothillscraftguild. org. Pictured are fine crafts by Anne Freels, Renita Andrews and Pat Clapsaddle.

Tracy Monday is trying to close the gap between people and their food. “The average steak in the United States travels 2,000 miles before it’s consumed,” says Monday, owner and high priest of Mother Earth Meats. “Why are we doing that? Our steaks, if we sell them here from the store, travel 150 miles.” Monday opened Mother Earth Meats, 11151 Kingston Pike, one mile west of Lovell Road, about eight months ago. It was a move back home after operating in Maryville for nearly five years. “I used to farm around here,” says Monday. “I rented farms all up and down Kingston Pike. I love the area.” Farming was his first career and what led him to his second: owning a fresh meat and specialty-foods shop complete with a restaurant and a craft beer “barn.” “A lot of these are brewed here locally,” he says of the beers. “People like to get them with their hot wings or their burgers.” When he says burgers, he’s not necessarily talking beef – or turkey. “We get in a lot of exotic meats: caribou, reindeer, antelope,” says Monday. “People love having that for

Mother Earth Meats owner Tracy Monday chats with longtime customer M. Lynn Carroll of Hardin Valley. Photo by Betsy Pickle a burger. A farmer in Monroe County raises a lot of exotic meat for me: yak, bison, elk.” The caribou does travel long distance – from Alaska. But thinking locally and making sure that animals live good lives before they become food for humans is the foundation of Monday’s process. He grew in Hardin Valley and was farming “from the moment I was born, almost,” he says. Both his grandfathers farmed. “Back then, almost everybody farmed in Hardin Valley,” says Monday. “I grew up cutting tobacco and hauling hay. I worked with cattle.” When he got older, “I leased land wherever I could find it – a little acreage here and there.” He farmed the land on which Kohl’s now sits. He ran a couple of farms on Virtue Road. He finally was able to purchase his own farm – on the Cumberland Plateau. He got into the cattle business, buying cattle, “putting weight on them and sending them to feed lots.” “I was losing tons of them and having to bury them. I was giving them shots – antibiotics and hormones and everything else you’ve gotta do. And one day, it dawned on me: This is wrong. I loved doing the farming, but I hated working cattle all the time, shooting them in the head after working with them for a month trying to make them well.” It wasn’t just the farming that was wrong – it was also the journey, mostly mechanical, that animals went through on their way to the table. There was no interaction between humans and animals or even humans and humans. “The whole time, through the life of the animal, nobody’s ever appreciated

anybody,” says Monday. “That can’t go on spiritually. That’s why people are going crazy. “We’ve lost our connection to the Earth, to our food, and it’s our goal to reconnect people in that way. Our animals are cared for physically, spiritually and emotionally, and they live their life the way they were biologically designed by the Creator.” After having his “paradigm shift,” Monday went back to the basics. “Mother Nature figured this out before we figured out all this science, and wherever there’s a problem, there’s also a solution,” he says, noting that healthier animals make healthier food. “So I got to changing the way I was farming, slowly.” He began growing animals naturally, without fertilizers or pesticides. “The spirituality of it felt a lot better,” he says. “Pretty soon I learned, on the farm anyway, that this ecology is also the best economy.” He started selling meat at farmers’ markets around 2003. “I realized that consumers were hungry for good food,” he said. “They’d never had it before. I grew up on it, and when I went back to growing it, it shocked me too how good it was. “Demand grew, and I was working myself to death, trying to run this big farm and grow all this food, and hit all these farmers’ markets with enough volume to make a living.” He got the opportunity to open a store in Maryville, but it was too much to run the farm, grow the meat and operate the store. “So I had to farm out my farming,” he says. “Luckily, I’d been able to train a few people in how I farm. I’ve got them growing the meat for me. It works out a lot better for everybody.”

On top of the regular skills involved in retail and food prep, he also sees himself as a teacher. “When I have a customer and I’m trying to educate them, I have about two seconds before they throw a wall up if they don’t want to hear it. As a salesperson, it’s my job to educate you. There’s a huge difference in this meat and what you get in a supermarket.”

with a story By Bonny C. Millard Knoxville Soap, Candle & Gifts owner Jodi Bowlin is a natural-born storyteller who shares stories about the locally handcrafted pieces that ﬁll her shop. There are the handblown ring holders from South Knoxville, soap dispensers and lamps made from bottles found by dumpster-diving, ﬂoral arrangements handmade by a city employee, soap and candles crafted by a nurse, jewelry created by a high school teacher, and wraps designed from pashmina scarfs. “I always share the story when people come to the register … and it just makes it more special,” Bowlin said. “All this just comes from all these amazing people right here in Knoxville. We don’t have to go overseas.” Bowlin has had the opportunity to share her own

story on the Al Jazeera American network on its “Real Money with Ali Velshi” show in a segment called “American’s Middle Class: Rebuilding the Dream.” The boutique, now located at 5201 Kingston Pike, started in Fountain City and remained there for eight years. Bowlin moved to Bearden in May. She takes pride in offering the creations of many local artisans and supporting their work. “It feels more like an art gallery in here to me. I call it an eclectic cooperative,” she said. “Right now, I’m operating at 80 percent local, handmade, one-of-a-kind items, and the 20 percent I do buy is specialty merchandise. I buy it in limited quantities so it’s not repeated.” Bowlin renovated her new space to create a cozy and inviting atmosphere.

The store’s prior business was a cupcake shop that featured cracked linoleum floors and gray plastic walls. Photo by B. Millard “I thought ‘oh my gosh, it’s a ’70s Kmart in here.’” Bowlin laid plywood on top of the floor and stained it walnut. Then she painted spirals and hearts, birds and butterflies, and a garden path before sealing the floor with polyurethane. “It was a four-step process. I was able to do it for about $800,” she said. “It’s a permanent mural. It’s not perfect … but it goes with the vibe of the store.” She draped the fluorescent lights with cotton muslin cloth that she painted with gold hearts and spirals. “I got it at Joanne’s Fabrics. I did the entire ceiling for $50,” she said. “It gives it a boutique feel and softened it. I just tried to make light fi xtures that add to the ings, jazz performances and it unique.” store’s ambiance. four open houses a year.

Hyams has good news for Vol fans By Bonny C. Millard WNML radio SportsTalk co-host Jimmy Hyams believes the University of Tennessee’s football program is starting to rise again after lean years. Fans can also expect the university’s basketball program to do well over time as it continues to rebuild under new leadership. Hyams, a sportswriter and broadcaster for more than 40 years and a member of the Tennessee Sports Writers Hall of Fame, spoke to the Rotary Club of Farragut about the state of UT’s sports programs. UT’s football team has had four straight losing seasons and had four head coaches in seven years. Hyams already sees promise in what head coach Butch Jones, now in his second year, has accomplished. “Tennessee had a great opening to the season,” Hyams said. “It really surprised me.” Hyams also thinks basketball head coach Donnie Tyndall, who took the reins earlier this year after thenhead coach Cuonzo Martin

made a sudden departure, will do well. Tyndall recruited nine players after losing six when Martin left. This year will be difﬁcult as Tyndall rebuilds the team, he said. Prior to the start of the football season, Hyams watched the team during practice and thought the season opener against a quality team like Utah State would be a real test for the program, which had 28 freshman and sophomores on the depth chart and only six seniors. UT won 38-7. “I think they might have played better than they practiced,” he said. “I’m really impressed with what Butch Jones has done.” Jones has restored discipline, improved academic achievements and recruited top players, Hyams noted. In addition, Jones reminds players that they always represent Tennessee whether on the ﬁeld or off. “They’ve got some good players, and they’re getting better,” Hyams said. “I think Butch Jones is a good coach, and I think he’s going

to get the job done.” If the football team goes 5-7 as it has for the last three seasons, then the last ten-year stretch will yield a record of 62 wins-62 loses, which is something Hyams thought he’d never see. “There have been some lean years at Tennessee,” he said.

One of the prettiest spots in West Knoxville, the historic Edgewood Cemetery, located next to the Gallaher Memorial Baptist Church on Gallaher View Road, has a new look that provides updates that enhance the peaceful setting. Over the last 12 months, the lanes that cross much of the 14 acres atop the scenic hills in Edgewood Cemetery have been paved, offering a nice contrast to the beautiful lawns, oak trees and low stone walls that grace the property. Along with the addition of 400 new gravesites, Edgewood Cemetery has developed a cremation garden to accommodate the ever-increasing choice of cremation. Also provided in this section is a Columbarium, an above ground structure for cremains. Additionally, there are other improvements that will provide additional services to meet the needs of the community. By providing perpetual care, the park like setting at Edgewood Cemetery is kept in perfect condition by weekly ground maintenance, giving the entire area the attention that is so important to families.

Established in 1928, Edgewood Cemetery is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization. The board of directors recently elected its fourth president, Tennessee Court of Criminal Appeals Judge Kelly Thomas, a native of Blount County and grandson of the cemetery’s founder, Oliver A. Smith Sr. If you haven’t visited Edgewood Cemetery, stop by on one of these pleasant fall days to take a look around. The surroundings are lovely and the view from the top of the hill is well worth the trip. For additional information: 531-7383 or edgewoodcemetery@att.net.

Middlemas says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We tend to value music based on our Southern Appalachian heritage in our church. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think this is a grand ecumenical idea that should have been done long ago,â&#x20AC;? she continues, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and should be repeated every other year. We are perhaps the most varied group of houses of worship in one small area in Knoxville and yet have many things in common. I welcome getting the chance

Denny Mullins, organist at First Methodist, says that in his 27 years there, he canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t recall anything of this nature occurring before.

most of the congregations on Kingston Pike have been there for decades, have we ever just gotten together for a pleasant, friendly afternoon of music? What an easy way for people to meet and think about what it means to be a community.â&#x20AC;? Representing TVUUC will be The Accidentals, a seven-person ensemble performing music that is a â&#x20AC;&#x153;gospel-rock-pop-R&B-jazzfolk-classical blend of sacred and secular.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very Unitarian,â&#x20AC;? says Dunklin with a smile. Heska Amuna Synagogue will send the klezmer band Dor Lâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Dor, meaning â&#x20AC;&#x153;from generation to generation.â&#x20AC;? The group was started in 1999 by Ken and Susan Brown. According to the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website, Dor Lâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Dor is â&#x20AC;&#x153;a multigenerational klezmer band based in Knoxville, that international city famous for its yiddishkeit. While weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re deeply rooted in the klezmer tradition, we have branched into other traditions as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Your father would love us. But weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not your fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s klezmer band.â&#x20AC;? The concert and reception are free and open to all. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be wonderful diversity,â&#x20AC;? says Goslee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to show the community that we respect each other, and like each other.

I would need a driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license or passport. It seems that any ID presented must have a date of birth. Certainly a federal ID card would be more difficult to obtain than a valid driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license. The 9/11 terrorists held valid driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s licenses, but they never held more restrictive identification. It also brought to mind the plight in which an elderly person who has never traveled abroad or driven a car might find themselves. How could they prove their identity?

Credit cards and photo driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s licenses are as much a part of our present society as the need to grow our economy through consumer spending and high-speed travel on super highways. But I doubt that much thought was given to either of these concepts by those of us who grew up in the 1950s. The only pictures in our wallet were those of our immediate girlfriend, and those had to be kept current. Our thoughts were more often centered on simpler

things like being able to take your girlfriend out on a date and working after school to earn the money to do that. But using a credit card or a multipurpose driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license was still decades in the future. Progress? Perhaps. But for those of us who are old enough to remember life in the 1950s, there is something to be said for simplicity and anticipation. Certainly, for most of us, immediate gratification was not part of our experience.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great news, then, that some houses of worship in Knoxville are taking a stand â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a peaceful, positive, musical stand â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and getting together to present a concert. At 3 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 28, Second Presbyterian Church on Kingston Pike will host a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Concert of Neighboring Kingston Pike Congregationsâ&#x20AC;? featuring musicians from Laurel Church of Christ, Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church, First United Methodist Church, Temple Beth-El, Knoxville First Seventh-day Adven-

tist Church, Calvary Baptist Church, Heska Amuna Synagogue and West Hills Presbyterian Church. Do we live in a great town or what? Brenda Goslee, organist at Second Presbyterian, remembers an encounter years ago with an exchange student from Northern Ireland. He had noticed all the different places of worship, side by side along Kingston Pike. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh my goodness, this is wonderful,â&#x20AC;? he exclaimed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ever be true in Northern Ireland.â&#x20AC;? That encounter stayed with Goslee. As one of the

masterminds behind this event, she has long wanted to present a concert of music that spans diverse belief systems. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are not pressing Christianity,â&#x20AC;? she says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but we are pressing God. [The concert] is unifying, and not divisive at all.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bring many names beautiful and good â&#x20AC;&#x201C; celebrate in parable and story â&#x20AC;&#x201C; holiness in glory â&#x20AC;&#x201C; living, loving God â&#x20AC;&#x201C; hail and hosanna â&#x20AC;&#x201C; bring many names,â&#x20AC;? proclaims one of the hymns chosen for the congregation to sing at this auspicious event.

Credit cards and driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s licenses check-in. Recently, just out of curiosity, I offered the check-in cashier at a major hotel chain an amount of cash that would more than cover our possible room charges. But my offer was declined. They would accept only a credit card. Perhaps this practice is a harbinger of things to come when hard currency will be replaced entirely by credit cards. I can only imagine how my family would have dealt

From page A-5 literally a passport to freedom. There was no photo and it was not embossed in plastic. It was just a plain little piece of paper. But today, driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s licenses serve as picture ID cards that make it simpler to vote, board an airplane, cash a check, purchase alcoholic beverages at a supermarket, etc. Recently, I presented my VA ID card, which includes a picture, at airport check-in and was told that

with this practice. Another significant change is the multiuse of driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s licenses. I can remember getting my first driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license when I was 16 and how I cherished that thin little piece of paper.

Members of the Concord Christian School volleyball team raft the Ocoee River on a teambuilding adventure.

Young team makes a splash With no seniors on her squad, veteran volleyball coach Carmen Hochevar chose to do something a little different this summer. The Concord Christian School Lions volleyball team went on a great team adventure at the Ocoee Adventure Camp. “We felt it was crucial for this young team to bond,” said Hochevar. The Lions learned to trust and rely on their teammates

by working their way through a wooded trail blindfolded. This was followed by a mud crawl. Hochevar and her assistant coach, Linda Reedy, led nightly devotions, and each room entertained with skits, but the highlight was the whitewater rafting on the Ocoee River. Hochevar has not left skill development on the side line. The team has been listed as one of the top teams to

watch this year, as stated in Knoxville News Sentinel. The 15 players have trained together and played ﬁercely so far this season. This young team comes to the court with incredible skills and court sense. With a packed schedule of over 30 matches and a strong performance in preseason tournaments, the Lions are currently undefeated in district play. The girls are embracing their roles on the team. “It’s rewarding to see the light bulb come on and see them take ownership of their role,” said Hoch about her four eighth-grade and four freshman players. Building mental agility has raised the team’s level of game. The team’s strengths are service, spots and being strong defensively. The Lions are stronger than ever with junior Cameron Kienzl, a libero and captain who helps motivate the team and is willing to sacrifice her body to make the play on the court. Hochevar observed, “There are changes taking place in volleyball with a higher level of expectation and play. It is no longer just a seasonal sport, but volleyball has become a yearlong focus. Volleyball is becoming

Concord Christian School Lion Volleyball team playing defense. a lifestyle for our players. From elementary through high school, kids are getting the itch to play the game of volleyball; the nation’s fastest growing sport. These girls are sold out to this program learning discipline and are committed to the work re-

quired to win.” Saturday, Oct. 4, CCS will host its second annual tournament, Courtside at Concord. Eight competitive varsity teams in Eastern Tennessee will be at Courtside. The public is invited to attend.

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

Friends by heart Five ladies sit around a table laughing and talking over the top of each other like they’ve been friends for life. They’ve known each other less than a year. That’s what happens when you share the aftereffects of a potentially life threatening situation. These women, ranging in age from 47 to 77, all enrolled in Parkwest Medical Center’s Cardiac Rehabilitation Outpatient Program (CROP) at Fort Sanders West after heart surgery or stents. The friendships were not forged willingly, at ﬁrst. Glenna Kuberek, 70, began attending CROP in May after a heart stress spasm and blood clot. She’d been hospitalized for heart trouble just two and a half weeks after knee surgery and had already fallen behind in her physical therapy. The last thing she wanted was to have more of her time taken up with cardiac rehab. “And it upsets your day, believe us!” says Judy Price. Price, 63, was diagnosed in January as having a congenital heart defect. Her right coronary artery was on the left side of her heart, being squeezed by the aorta and pulmonary artery. Surgery was her only choice for survival. When it was over, she says she was mad that she had to go to the trouble of making room in her schedule for cardiac rehab. But after a few sessions of CROP, she went from being mad that she had to go, to being mad when she couldn’t attend. Jean Chiles, 77, had a stent put in place in January and experienced a similar response to CROP initially. She didn’t want to go at ﬁrst but eventually found it to be a place where there were experts to help with her recovery, and friends to cheer her on. “I found out how nice the people were and how much they cared for you,” says Chiles. These women have bonded with each other and have nothing but praise for the program now that they have completed their 36 sessions of exercise and education.

More than a workout In CROP, each patient is assigned a case manager who has access to the patient’s medical history and can keep track of progress and any problems that may arise. Each patient wears a heart monitor during exercise and is closely observed. A patient’s exercise regimen is individually designed for his or her personal recovery needs. This can include anything from walking on a treadmill, to peddling a recumbent bike, to lifting weights. Gail Adkinson, 69, is a triple bypass patient who had a coronary artery bypass graft in February. She chose the CROP pro-

Gail Adkinson, Glenna Kuberek, Jean Chiles, Paula Holstein and Judy Price

gram at Fort Sanders West because it was closer to home, never imagining that she would appreciate the program as much as she has. “They know what your history is, they would know what to do if anything happened, they can tell just by looking at you whether you’re quite right to be there,” Adkinson says. “And they will stop you even if you don’t have enough sense to know that there’s something wrong with you.” The other ladies around the table break into gales of laughter at this, because they know it’s true. “I had to tell on her the other day,” Kuberek says as she points to Price. “She wasn’t feeling good and she didn’t want to tell them.” “Well, I’m a little bit on the stubborn side,” Price laughs. “I just wanted to do my workout and go home.” “We all feel that way,” says Chiles, “but if you’re not feeling good you need to go home.” The room falls silent for a moment,

as the severity of their medical histories weighs heavily on the conversation. Then Chiles quips with a saucy attitude, “It doesn’t bother me to tell y’all I’m not feeling good.” The room is ﬁlled with laughter, once again.

Patients choose where to go At 47 years of age, Paula Holstein is the youngest of the group. Having a heart attack while on a business trip out of town was a frightening experience, and starting cardiac rehab after angioplasty was frightening, too. But the encouragement of the other patients and the care of the staff eased her fears and helped her grow stronger physically and emotionally as the days went by. “I’ve lost weight and I’ve gained muscle,” Holstein says. “I’ve improved my ejection fractions (measure of how the heart is pumping) to 55 percent, and my blood pressure’s level.” “I had a choice of where I wanted to go

and I signed up for this because it’s close to home and I’d heard good things,” Holstein says, “and I’m glad I did because everybody here is wonderful. The people are really nice and they care for you.” And because the program is ﬁlled with heart patients, everyone in the room has something in common. That common ground and a general atmosphere of encouragement bring unexpected friend“We all came ships. here because of a “The good thing problem with our about these ladies is hearts,” says Judy they encourage you,” Price (second from Chiles adds. “Some left), “and now it’s of us were on similar like we’re all one big medications – I’ve heart.” Pictured are had a real problem Paula Holstein, Price, with blood thinners, Glenna Kuberek, they were on blood Jean Chiles and Gail thinners and they Adkinson. encouraged me, and I think it really, really helped the healing process.” Chiles says she also appreciated the way she could take questions to the medical staff, knowing she would receive answers and assurance.

Taking it to the next level These ladies were so impressed with the CROP experience that they have decided to continue with the maintenance program. Their doctors have released them from rehab, but they choose to keep coming so they can remain strong and stay connected. Adkinson had been physically active before heart surgery, but heart disease runs in her family. She believes exercise and the grace of God kept blockages from killing her, and she wants to stay out in front of heart disease from now on. “I might get out and walk, but I won’t be doing the strenuous exercise they have me doing here, or I won’t do as much of it,” Adkinson says. “And I don’t want what the doctor and the good Lord have done for me to get undone by me being a lazy person.” “And everyone here is wonderful,” Adkinson adds. “From Day 1, every one of them has known my name,” Kuberek says. “From Day 1! I do not know how they remember everybody’s name.” “Everybody treats you great, and they don’t ever forget your name,” Price agrees. “I’m doing this because I want to live longer to watch my grandchildren grow up,” Price says. “And if the good Lord can bring me through what he did, I think he’s going to let me stay a little while longer.”

About cardiac rehab If you ﬁnd yourself hospitalized with heart disease, your doctor will most likely 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 Outpatient Program (CROP) at Fort Sanders West. Patients who have experienced what’s called a “cardiac event” are prescribed a program of education and exercise to help their recovery and improve their odds for Karen Kirkland, avoiding future visits to the hospital. RN, CCM “It boosts their conﬁdence level, too,” Kirkland says, “and lessens their anxiety.”

Patients meet with a case manager for evaluation and usually follow a schedule of three days a week for three months. This includes meeting with an exercise physiologist for a program speciﬁcally tailored to the patient’s personal needs and ability. That 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. CROP also includes classes that cover topics like cooking heart healthy foods and interpreting what’s on food labels at the grocery store. It’s a well-rounded approach to helping heart patients. Some patients are reluctant about the time investment at ﬁrst, and Kirkland understands that. It’s time consuming and many people believe they’re already doing the exercise they need at home.

However, it doesn’t take long for patients to realize that the time investment is nothing compared to the outstanding returns in health and wellness. Kirkland hears it all the time. “We hear a lot that patients thought the exercise they were doing before a heart event was enough or the right kind of exercise,” Kirkland says, “but after they attend cardiac rehab they tell us they learned that they really weren’t exercising the right way, or at least not enough to improve their heart health.” Patients repeatedly say it’s well worth the investment both in time and in their health.

Tennessee football 100 years ago Marvin West

Fortunately, a regular reader rushed to the rescue and changed the subject. “A few weeks ago, you wrote about Doug Dickey and Tennessee football of 50 years ago. What do you know about 100 years ago?” Well now, I am old but I wasn’t there. What I know is what the late Tom Siler said he had learned. The Volunteers of 1914 won the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association championship with a 9-0 record. They played home games at Wait Field at the corner of 15th Street and Cumberland Avenue. This was not Rocky Top, but it might have been rocky bottom. There was no grass. The Vols ran a tight T for-

mation. They outscored foes 374 to 37. Butch Jones wants you to know that Tennessee wore gray jerseys. Pint-sized Zora G. Clevenger, 5-7 and 145, former halfback at Indiana, was the Tennessee coach. Interesting how he got the job. He was coaching three sports at Nebraska Wesleyan and playing pro baseball in the summer to supplement his income. In 1910, he came to town as the shortstop for the Knoxville team in the Appalachian League. The first Sunday, he and his wife went to church. Mrs. Clevenger was delighted to spot a former schoolmate – who just happened to be the sister of UT professor R.C. “Red” Matthews, the original UT cheerleader who grew up to become a member of the UT athletic council. Do you see where this is going? In 1911, Tennessee had a coaching vacancy. Professor Matthews suggested Clevenger. Nobody had a better idea. Zora was a one-man gang, as in no assistants, no

Showdown at Hardin Valley Hawks host defending champion Rebels for top spot in 4AAA It’s time to start shaking up the districts, and what better place to begin than right at the top. Hardin Valley’s Hawks welcome Maryville’s Rebels to one of the state’s most scenic campuses on Friday, but, with the top spot in District 4AAA on the line, all the focus is sure to be on the gridiron.

Stefan Cooper The Class 6A defending state champion Rebels (30, 1-0 District 4AAA) have looked impressive in wins over Webb, Alcoa and Knox

West. The Hawks (2-1, 1-0) have looked both balanced and explosive on offense with wins over Karns and William Blount. Hardin Valley fell, 47-21, to South-Doyle last week, but it was still very much a game late in the second half. Four turnovers proved the Hawks’ undoing. Hardin Valley is a team on the rise, worthy of the district lead, and Maryville knows it. Last season: Hardin Valley (6-5), Maryville (150) Last meeting: 2013 – Maryville 49, Hardin Valley

0 The offenses: The Hawks run out of the power I most often. The Rebels operate out of the spread, often with four receivers. The defenses: Hardin Valley deploys a linebacker oriented 3-4. Maryville is just the opposite with a more conventional 4-3. The Breakdown: Powered by running back Jaylen Burgess, quarterback Tyler Vaught and tight end Bryce Miller, all seniors, the Rebels have looked a tough opponent to corral on offense. Junior receiver Kelby Brock

support staff, not even a dietitian or video coordinator. It took him a few minutes to get organized. The university had raised entrance requirements. The team was a little short on talent. By 1913, the outlook was much brighter. The Vols won six of nine. The big one got away. Vanderbilt won, 7-6. Clevenger awarded 12 letters and gave a pep talk about the future. Season profit in excess of $1,000 allowed him to hire a line coach. A hundred years ago, Tennessee came out of the chute with an 88-0 stroll past Carson-Newman. King College fell, 55-3. Clemson took a 27-0 hit. Tennessee took the train to Louisville and romped, 66-0. There was bitterness before the Alabama game. An anonymous source reported the Tide was cheating. Sure enough, quarterback Charlie Joplin refused to sign an affidavit that he had never played pro ball and was immediately ruled ineligible. The Vols won, 17-7. Chattanooga took a 67-0 tumble. The really big game

was at Vanderbilt. Southern Railway offered fans a round trip ride for $6.75. Alonzo “Goat” Carroll scored all Tennessee points, two touchdown receptions of Bill May passes, one extra-point kick and a 15-yard field goal, in a 16-14 victory. It was the first-ever win over the Commodores. Carroll invited the victors to dinner at his family home, a block or three from the Vandy campus. UT classes were dismissed on Monday for a day of celebration. A Vanderbilt official said that was what you might expect from Tennessee, overemphasis of athletics and underemphasis of academics. The Vols swatted Sewanee in Chattanooga and polished off Kentucky to conclude the perfect season. There were no holiday bowl games, but a good time was had by all. ■ Roger Woods has left the UT Fellowship of Christian Athletes by mutual agreement. He is now pastor of a church in South Knox. Details online.

has proven a reliable deep threat on the outside. Thing is, the Hawks have proven capable of answering on each of those fronts. Senior quarterback Nathan White is in his third season as the Hardin Valley starter, Vaught in his first at Maryville. Carter White and Isaiah Aguero both caught TD passes last week. Aguero also ran for a score. In senior Ryan Ferguson, the Hawks have one of the area’s top feature backs. Ferguson is rough, tough and plenty physical, accounting for almost half of Hardin Valley’s offensive output last week. Why this one in-

trigues: In senior and Tennessee commitment Dylan Jackson, fellow senior Ritchie Koons, junior Kyle Withrow and sophomore Matt Young, Maryville has a front four on defense that’s as good as it gets. None of the Rebels’ first three opponents have been able to move them much, but the Hawks may have just such a front. Offensive linemen Matt Howard, Garrett Curtis and Joey Cave are some big boys. Running Maryville over isn’t likely to happen, but, if Hardin Valley can run enough to set up its passing game, this one could get a lot more interesting than most think.

If the Chick-fil-A cow could speak, she’d say “Go Hawks!”

Hardin Valley Academy librarian Suzanne Sherman said her daughter, Emory, doesn’t understand the complexities of Friday night football, but she certainly knows a delicious scoop of Italian ice will be coming her way. HVA lost to South-Doyle 47-21 at home on Friday.
