BUZZ Donald Caldwell’s sister-in-law Alice Caldwell and Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett. Caldwell was overheard saying, “Don wasn’t much for ‘thank-yous,’ but I think he would like this. He would be happy.”

(Very) preliminary plans for Lovell The much-needed widening of Lovell Road may be around a distant corner. Knox County Commission on Monday will consider an appropriation of $98,600 to CDM Smith for preliminary engineering services for Lovell Road (SR 131) from Cedardale Lane to Middlebrook Pike. Dwight Van de Vate, director of Engineering and Public Works, cautioned against excessive excitement. “This will fund the NEPA required environmental assessment that has to be completed before the project can enter design,” he said. “CDM Smith states an anticipated time to complete of 12 to 18 months, after which the report is submitted for state and federal review. “In the meantime, we have to hope Congress authorizes long-term transportation funding, so there is money to pay for design and construction when the time comes.”

Land swap in talking stages Street talk is that Knox County will trade approximately eight acres on Middlebrook Pike near Ball Camp Elementary School for some 100 acres in the Hardin Valley area for a park. A company called Gusto Development LLC filed and postponed a rezoning request with the Metropolitan Planning Commission. The rezoning was for 2.07 acres on the southeast side of Ball Camp Pike and the northeast of Middlebrook Pike for a 46,000 square foot grocery store. MPC staff noted that a separate application has been filed by Knox County for consideration of an adjacent 7.45 acres on county-owned land. Now the entire 8.8-acre combined tract can be considered by the MPC on Nov. 12. Street talk is that Knox County will trade a portion of the Nicholas Ball Park for land for a larger park farther west. No one was talking late Monday. No one in Mayor Tim Burchett’s office would confirm that land must be acquired for a new Hardin Valley Middle School since land at Hardin Valley Elementary School has been determined unsuitable. Couple this with the undertow of Regal Entertainment Group possibly moving from Halls to downtown on the old Baptist Hospital site and we’re left to conclude there are a lot of deals afoot and not much official talking. – S.

Caldwell honored with bridge dedication By Nancy Anderson Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett, members of the Caldwell family and approximately 30 community members met at the Ben Atchley State Veterans Home on Coward Mill Road Oct. 13 to rename the old Coward Mill Bridge as the Donald Caldwell Memorial Bridge in honor of the man who worked passionately for decades to restore and preserve the structure. “The key words for my life have always been preservation and restoration. I’ve always been involved in something like that the better part of my life,” said Don Caldwell in a 2012 taped interview archived by the Karns History Club. That was proven by Caldwell’s support of the Coward Mill Bridge in Karns. Having spent three years in Europe while in the Air Force, Caldwell developed an appreciation for historic structures. Once back in Knoxville, he built his home on Coward Mill Road one-half mile west of the historic bridge. The dilapidated one-lane stone structure built in 1894 quickly

caught Caldwell’s attention and became a lifelong preservation project until his death in 2014 at the age of 84. “I’ve always been fascinated with Coward Mill Bridge,” he said. “When I saw the beautiful arch, it reminded me of the many ancient bridges I saw in Europe. Just beautiful. But it was in bad shape. It had been vandalized and needed a little help.” Caldwell fought passionately against Knox County plans to demolish the bridge in the late 1980s, not only saving the structure, but also winning restoration funds. In his statement during the dedication ceremony, Burchett had this to say about Caldwell: “He was the kind of community leader that has always made Knox County a great place to live. Mr. Caldwell recognized that his duty extended beyond his own driveway. He was driven to make his community a better place for his neighbors and for those who would come after him. He was a blessing not only to Karns, but to Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett and Thomas Caldwell at the dedication all of Knox County, and he is not of the Donald Caldwell Memorial Bridge held at Ben Atchley State Veterans forgotten.” Home.

AT&T means business, wires Neyland By Sandra Clark What happens when 102,000-plus UT football fans tweet or IM or email their unique perspective on a scoring play or game-saving stop? Why it goes right through for AT&T customers thanks to the company’s recent enhancements to the Distributed Antenna System (DAS) at Neyland stadium. With approximately 194 antennas spread throughout the stadium, connectivity at Neyland is roughly equivalent in size to cover a city the size of Morristown, says Alan Hill, AT&T’s regional director for external affairs. He spoke last week to the Farragut Rotary.

“Smartphones are now an essentia l part of the ga me - day experience for fans,” said Hill, a UT alum. Alan Hill “ W e know that being able to send photos and texts and check scores from around the country is important to fans in the stands.” Engineers continue to tweak the system, which was installed this fall. A DAS is a network of several small antennas designed to enhance wireless service within an area or

building. DAS technology helps improve customers’ wireless service by shortening the distance a call or text must travel. Hill talked about AT&T’s work during the NCAA basketball playoffs. “You know how they bring in those raised floors? Well, we installed antennas under them when the Final Four was held in Dallas.” AT&T showcases technology as the named sponsor of the Dallas Cowboys’ stadium. Other facts Hill shared: ■ In 1952, AT&T had just 21 outdoor phones in Knoxville. ■ In 1954, special circuits were installed and

used for to bring teletype feeds to the News Sentinel. ■ In 1962, the first UT game on TV was broadcast nationally. AT&T was involved, and the opponent was Alabama. ■ At one point nationally, about 450,000 customers per month were switching away from traditional land lines. ■ There has been a 100,000 percent increase in mobile data traffic in the last eight years on the AT&T mobile network. ■ AT&T will use $26 million in Connect America Funds per year over the next six years to supplement efforts to expand rural broadband in Ten-

nessee. ■ By 2020, AT&T’s vision is to lead in mobilizing the world using wearable technology, and by connecting homes, cars and cities. ■ Business opportunities are plentiful in this mobile world. “So, what did you learn?” asked Hill at the meeting’s end. Gulp! “Uh, you talked so fast it was hard to take notes, but I came away believing AT&T is dynamic – leading the technology curve. Buy stock!” I answered. Hill awed the folks at Farragut Rotary. He’s a great speaker for your civic group (Alan.L.Hill@att.com).

Alabama remains a big deal Don’t choose Saturday as your wedding day. Try not die between now and then. The preacher might not be available. This is Alabama week. This is another opportunity for Tennessee to discover who it is. The game obviously means more to us than them. The Crimson Tide leads the series by 14. Just guessing, but the Vols probably think they can again stun the world. Well, maybe. Just guessing that Lane Kiffin sees Tennessee weaknesses that will lead to sure touchdowns. We don’t know how it will turn out but we know how it has been. Nick Saban is 8-0 against Tennessee. His teams have won by a combined 28395. During this little streak, Alabama has more national titles than Tennessee has winning seasons.

Marvin West

Here’s the real rub: Tennessee still measures itself against Alabama. Robert Neyland started that yardstick stuff, saying he could never tell about a young Volunteer until he had played against Alabama. With just a little help from Butch Jones and the orange, white and gray, this could again be an interesting rivalry. There are priceless landmarks, generations of respect, victory cigars, table dances and the infamous Memphis market which led to a federal conviction and bitter Alabama probation.

fourth down. Unusual punishment: Gary Wright, Tennessee kicker from Heflin, Ala., missed a short field goal, leaving the Tide to celebrate an 11-10 win in Knoxville. The cruel and heartless remember Gary as “Wide Wright.” Big beginning: Alabama grad Bill Battle, Tennessee coach at 29, led a romp over the Tide and legendary Paul Bryant in 1970. Vols picked off eight passes. That never happened again. Fumble: Tennessee dominated 58 minutes in 1972 but Alabama struck for two late touchdowns. Big play was a Holloway fumble. “Fumbling against Alabama was the worst of bad times,” said Peanut. “I remember Coach Battle telling me a man wasn’t really a man until he had made a fool of himself in front of 70,000 or so. I suppose that was the day I became a man.” Bad block: In 1990,

Tennessee’s late field-goal try was blocked. The ball rolled so far in the wrong direction, Alabama gained position for a winning field goal. Foul play: David Palmer scored a two-point conversion with 21 seconds left to give the Tide a dramatic 1717 tie. Alabama subsequently forfeited the game for using an ineligible player. Shockers: Manning and Kent once combined for an 80-yard touchdown on the opening play. Vol tailbacks Johnnie Jones and Jay Graham had very long TD runs. Peerless Price returned a kickoff 100 yards and changed the tense 1998 game into a rout. Miracle: It was fourth and 19 in the 2003 second overtime when Clausen connected with CJ Fayton and allowed the Vols to fight on. They won in five overtimes. No miracles lately.

Road costs soar while revenue stalls If legislative Democrats suggested raising taxes, every Republican would jump up to vote no. But since the GOP now controls every branch of state government, the responsibility to run the state falls on them. And their inexperience shows. There’s a crisis that’s getting worse fast in the state’s method of funding roads. Led by state Sen. Jim Tracy, legislators met in Knoxville last week to review concerns with local officials and the public. Tennessee is a pay-asyou-go state for road construction – one of just five states with no road debt. That’s great. But the TDOT budget is fueled by a 21.4-cent-per-gallon

proved 250 projects statewide, estimated to cost $6 billion. Of these, 80 percent of the design work and Sandra right-of-way acquisition is Clark completed. All that’s left to fund is construction, about 75 percent of the cost of each project. tax on gasoline (18.4-centsExamples include three per-gallon on diesel fuel).

North: A fairly simple project to widen Highway 33 from Halls to the Knox/ Union county line, now under construction, is costing $30 million. The project’s next phase (Knox/Union county line to just south of Maynardville) will cost another $32.5 million. The highway serves 13,000 vehicles per day. West: Western Avenue (SR 62) has a widening project now underway. The next phase is reconstruction of a .08-mile section in downtown Knoxville at an estimated cost of $19.2 million.

Democrats choose sides, but seem ready to unite The dance floor was jampacked with Democrats at Carleo’s the night of the first presidential debate, and nobody was dancing. Bernie Sanders ruled the night, or maybe it just seemed that way because his supporters were louder than Hillary Clinton’s crowd. Mostly younger, too.

Betty Bean Anthony Perry and Kyle Bobisch sneered in the general direction of Republican frontrunner Donald Trump, pointing out that he’s never been elected to anything, while their man Sanders is the longest-serving congressional independent in U.S. history and was returned to office with 70 percent of the vote last election. Are they worried about polls suggesting that it’ll be tough to sell a self-described socialist in a general election? “He polls great with me,”

Bobisch said. A couple of tables away Cheri Siler declared herself undecided. She said the debate might influence her vote. (Contacted afterward, she said she thought Clinton “won” the debate, but she was still undecided and wants more specifics from both frontrunners. She’s waiting to hear from Vice President Joe Biden, too.) Former state legislators Bill Owen and Bob Booker are bullish for Hillary. Owen said he was the first committed Clinton super delegate in 2008 and didn’t change his vote until he got a call from Hillary on the convention floor asking him to vote for frontrunner Obama. He said he once again considers himself Hillary’s first committed super delegate (assuming that the state executive committee, of which he is no longer a member, will allow him to keep his seat on the Democratic National Committee). Neither Owen nor Booker seemed worried about the prospect of Biden jumping into the race. Owen said

Longtime party activist Sylvia Woods is again supporting Clinton but said she’s delighted to see so many young people getting involved, no matter whom they support. Longtime social-justice activists Fran Ansley and Jim Sessions said they are keeping their options open, but Ansley was carrying a petition to get Sanders on the ballot for the Tennessee primary. Amanda Kruel, one of Sanders’ highest-profile local supporters, appeared to be having more fun than anybody at the debate. She predicted that Democrats Amanda Kruel is all in for will come together once the Sanders. nomination battle ends. “Both sides are excepBiden should stay on as vice tionally enthusiastic about president in the next Clin- our respective candidates, ton administration.

BZA to Magpies: No butter and eggs for you! By Betty Bean Magpies Bakery owner Peg Hambright showed up at the October Board of Zoning Appeals with more than 50 supporters and an argument against the city’s ruling that the dancing egg and a stick of butter she wants to put on her roof are advertising, not art. Rooftop advertising is banned under the new sign ordinance, but Hambright’s position is that Ms. Egg and Mr. Butter are covered by a clause exempting art from the prohibition. She was dead in the water before she opened her mouth. BZA member Charlie Van Beke delivered the preemptive coup de grace with an announcement that public discussion of the issue has been based on media error: “It doesn’t matter what’s been in the newspapers. The question is, is it advertising? It doesn’t matter if it’s art.” Van Beke’s pronouncement contradicted the explanation provided this summer by Plans Review and Inspections Director Peter Ahrens when he denied the Magpies application. “It came down to whether the sign was art or just advertising. As we looked

at their website, it almost seemed that the egg and the butter became a logo, almost like a Nike ‘swoosh.’ Where you see the butter and egg dancing, you think of Magpies, and that’s how they are trying to brand their business. That would be considered advertising,” Ahrens said. Hambright said she sup-

ported the new sign ordinance and believed the exemption for works of art would allow the figures she designed to mount on the 13-foot-tall metal scaffolding that was on the roof when she bought the building seven years ago. She said she contacted all her neighbors – several of whom came to the BZA meeting to support her – and made the rounds of nearby neighborhood and business associations to explain her plan. “It was so heartening to see so many people from my community in their red T-shirts come in the middle of a Thursday afternoon and pay to park downtown.” Her proposal drew opposition from former City Council member Carlene Malone, representing Fountain City Town Hall and Community Forum, and from Joyce Feld, a board member of Scenic Knoxville

and a member of the taskforce that crafted the sign ordinance. Both Malone and Feld said it was tough to oppose a request from a respected business owner who is considered an asset to the community, but both were adamant that the sign ordinance should not be interpreted to accommodate Hambright’s request. “Knoxville cannot be governed by winks and nods,” Malone said. “What’s next, dancing forks and knives? Dancing bottles? “The definition of advertising is not new … What is new is the recent prohibition against roof signs.” Feld said the task force was unanimous about prohibiting rooftop signs. Hambright said she and her husband, Scott Carpenter, are deciding whether to appeal the BZA decision to City Council.

Kincannon won’t seek school board seat ■ Indya Kincannon, former chair of the Knox County school board who now works for Mayor Rogero, is back in Knoxville after she and her family lived for a year in Ljubljana, Kincannon Slovenia. Her husband, Ben Barton, a University of Tennessee law professor for 14 years, was on a Fulbright Scholarship at the University of Ljubljana teaching comparative law. Over coffee at Old City Java we discussed her exciting year in Slovenia, formerly a part of Yugoslavia. She taught Spanish, writing and history at the international school there. Their two daughters, Dahlia, 14, and Georgia, 12, were with them. The family visited 14 countries while in Europe, including Poland, Italy, Croatia, Austria and Hungary. They had visits from 17 Knoxvillians over the year there. The children attended a K-12 school with just 110 students. Kincannon said she would not run for the school board and feels that Tracie Sanger is doing a good job and is “an independent voice.” She said it is too soon to decide whether to seek another office, but she likes public service, which she is doing by working at the City County Building for $60,000 a year. ■ Forbes is out with the 400 richest Americans, and the list includes several Tennesseans. Heading the list at No. 54 is Nashville’s Thomas Frist at $8.7 billion; next is Martha Ingram at $4.3 billion; then Fred Smith at $3.5 billion; Knoxville’s Jimmy Haslam at $2.8 billion; Brad Kelley of Franklin at $2.2 billion; Jeffrey Lorberbaim of Chattanooga at $2.2 billion; Forest Preston of Cleveland at $2.1 billion; and Gov. Bill Haslam at $2.1 billion, which is No. 327 on the list of 400. the system $6 million a year. ■ As Sam Anderson always said, with 85 percent of the KCS budget going to personnel, significant cuts will hit personnel. ■ Attrition used to mean a teacher retiring after 30 years; in today’s environment attrition can mean showing up at a school board meeting in a red T-shirt.

■ Susan Shieh, owner of Shay Properties, died May 10, but at her request there was no mention in the local media. In addition to being fluent in Mandarin and English, she was fluent in Japanese. She championed Knoxville’s sister-city program, especially with Muroran in Japan, which she visited. The Shiehs made a major capital gift for the 30-foot Pagoda at Tiger Forest. It will be a dramatic focal point for visitors at the Knoxville Zoo. ■ Derrick Schofield probably has a limited future as corrections commissioner in the Haslam cabinet. With all the management issues arising around our prisons and legislative inquiries growing, the buck stops with him or the governor. Since he works for the governor, he is likely to go first. Issues with the Corrections Department seem only to worsen. How much water can this ship take on before the governor decides to throw the captain (Schofield) overboard? He has become an issue as much as other issues facing the Corrections Department, which are very serious. Former wardens and guards have boldly stated he told them to change their stories when talking to the media. If true, this is grounds for dismissal. ■ Early voting for the Nov. 3 city elections continues to be low. If one wants to avoid this in the future then moving the date of the elections is the only viable option to increase voter participation. ■ Tennessee Clean Water Network, led by Renee Hoyos, has a new website that is much improved at tcwn.org. Check it out. This writer serves on the TCWN board. ■ “The question is, is it advertising? It doesn’t matter if it’s art,” said a BZA member of Peg Hambright’s dancing eggs and butter. ■ If the city didn’t mean to exempt art from the sign ordinance, then why is the exemption there? And who decides what is art? ■ Bureaucrats are better at reading rules than seeing art.

day, Oct. 14. Started in 2011 as an opportunity to say “Hello” to fall and “Hello” to the community, it’s a fun day to enjoy good old fashioned food, fun, and fellowship said communications director Heather Peters. “We started it as a way to celebrate Autumn and to bring together friends and family to spend quality time together.

“It’s just that simple. “Our weeks are so busy now with running from one activity to another. It was so encouraging to see so many families, so many people out there of varying ages just having fun and spending time together. “I would like to encourage everyone to try to carve out time to enjoy a meal together and have real conversations. All of us are so busy that we sometimes neglect the things that bring us the most joy…sometimes that’s just spending time together on a beautiful fall day.”

Service for all – from Nepal to South Carolina By Carolyn Evans

Paul Standifer just got back from earthquakewrecked Nepal. He and his team from First Baptist Concord spent a week in rough conditions. They dug through rubble left behind after the April disaster, looking for wood beams and large stones that could be used to reconstruct homes. They also searched for pots and pans, important items in Nepalese households. Now the retired Y-12 manager is about to throw his toolbox into a truck and head to another kind of disaster: flooded Manning, S.C. Standifer is a member of First Baptist Concord’s Service Outreach Ministry and the Disaster Relief team that falls under that umbrel-

la la. With Service Outreach director Allen Krueger at the helm, church members have been busy for the past 18 months, swinging hammers and powering saws. They cut down trees after ice storms, build wheelchair ramps and even cook. The idea is to help not only church members, but also community members and people around the world. “We’re meeting physical needs and showing the love of Jesus,” Standifer said. The group does at least one service project a week, Krueger said, and sometimes multiple projects. Work includes not only manual labor but helping other ministries such as the Baptist Collegiate Ministry with events.

In February about 25 In team members spent up to three weeks in Blount, Cumberland, Knox, Morgan and Scott counties moving fallen trees after ice storms. April found them in a Nepalese village other teams had not reached. Standifer, Ken Coover, Ike Dalton and Terry Longworth hiked off the main road for two miles to reach the village, which had seen no relief teams until they got there. They slept for a week in a 9-by-13-foot concrete bunker with four other men, two native translators and a native truck driver and cook. They ate noodles, tuna and vegetables and the local version of Spam. The team picked through piles of debris in high heat and

Last week, Standifer was part of the tree-cutting team that took down three trees for church members unable to do the work themselves. Other Service Outreach members finished up a large handicap ramp project for another member of the community. “That was a cool thing,” said Krueger. “We partnered with Grace Baptist Church to build a ramp for a woman who can barely walk.

his lap, rock him, soothe him, let him drift off to sleep, then hand him back to his mama? Did that start a line of children coming to be cuddled? What a lovely thought! Earlier in Mark’s Gospel, Jesus provided food for one crowd. Why not child care? Imagine Jesus bouncing a toddler on his knee while he taught the people “many things” (Mark 6:34)! I hope, with all my heart, that some of those children remembered that day as long as they lived, and that some of them grew up to be preachers, teachers, and apostles!

insulation. Standifer has done this before around the world, including Indonesia after the tsunami and Haiti after an earthquake. He says the villagers in Nepal were wary of the Americans when the team arrived. “We had worked all week and given each family a kitchen kit. It was like watching them experience Christmas. As we left, there was lots of bowing and an outpouring of appreciation, lots of smiles.”

FAITH NOTES Special services

There are parts of the Church who maintain that Jesus was an only child; that Mary remained a virgin her entire life. However, it is possible to read the Christmas story as proof that Jesus was not an only child, because he is clearly identified as Mary’s “firstborn,” not simply her “son,” which implies that there were subsequent births. Jesus refers to his “brothers,” (Matthew 13:55). The same passage refers to “all his sisters.” So, Jesus had siblings, and as the eldest, I am sure he did his share of child care. He knew how to hold a child on his lap. The story of Jesus blessing the children made me begin to wonder. And imagine. I wouldn’t be surprised if, during the Sermon on the Mount, a baby got restless, hungry or tired. Did Jesus take him onto

School principal Renee Kelly Kelly switched hats for a bit and discussed the balance of academics and athletics from a parentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s point of view. A mom of two, Kelly shared parenting lessons she and her husband, Todd Kelly Sr., learned while raising their son and daughter. She was a teacher at the time, and her spouse was the coach of their sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s football team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are imperfect parents raising imperfect kids in a very challenging time,â&#x20AC;? she said as she gave a top 10 list of parenting tips learned firsthand. The top five include setting realistic goals and establishing clear expectations for performance at home, in the classroom and on the field. Regardless of performance, though, Kelly said to always love unconditionally. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes my kids didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need me to say a lot.

Horror Fest’s back

but not totally black

By Betsy Pickle Knoxville Horror Film Fest 7 will have plenty of screams, but it will also show films that are “lighthearted” and “fun.” That’s the word from festival director William Mahaffey and fest producer Nick Huinker. “A lot of people aren’t into horror films,” says Mahaffey. “A lot of the films we’re showing are more lighthearted or comedy. We try to balance it out.” The festival opens at 6:30 p.m. Friday and continues at noon Saturday at Downtown West. At 6 p.m. Sunday, it moves to Scruffy City Hall for screenings of vintage horror films “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre” and “Death Spa.” The event wraps up with an after-fest party complete with an ’80s horror costume contest, a scream queen contest and the awards ceremony. Several filmmakers will attend and do questionand-answer sessions. One of the fest’s most

Prize-winning play at UT A UT graduate student will play all 35 roles in a Pulitzer Prize- and Tony Award-winning play at the Clarence Brown Theatre’s Carousel Theatre. Brian Gligor will present “I Am My Own Wife” at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Oct. 23 and 24, and 2 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 25, at the Carousel. “I Am My Own Wife,” by Doug Wright, tells the true story of Charlotte Von Mahlsdorf, an East Ber-

lin antiques collector and transgender person who endured both the Nazi and Communist regimes. Shortly after the fall of the Berlin Wall, Wright began a series of interviews with Von Mahlsdorf and found himself quickly entranced by her fascinating and controversial story. Gligor received a $10,000 grant from the College of Arts and Sciences for the project, which is his master’s thesis.

‘Nevermore’ By Carol Shane Halloween approaches, and costume parties are in the planning. But the main event of the night is always trick-or-treating, and the main participants are the kids. It’s only ﬁtting, then, that the Knoxville Children’s Theatre will present “Quoth the Raven: the Tales of Edgar Allan Poe,” a story drawn from the stories and poems of the original king

of horror, beginning this Friday. KCT artistic director Dennis Perkins wrote the script for the production, which is “a story loosely drawn from Poe’s life that incorporates three of his stories – ‘Hop-Frog,’ ‘The Tell-Tale Heart’ and ‘The Cask of Amontillado’ – and ﬁve poems – ‘The Raven,’ ‘Annabel Lee,’ ‘The Conqueror Worm,’ ‘The Bells’ and ‘Song.’

‘Post-Electric’ play “Mr. Burns, a Post-Electric Play,” will be performed in the Clarence Brown Theatre’s Lab Theatre Oct. 28 to Nov. 15. Because the Lab Theatre seats only 125, patrons should purchase tickets quickly as performances do sell out. In “Mr. Burns,” strangers bond by recreating an episode of “The Simpsons” in a contemporary America without power, and memories of Marge and Homer become the basis for shaping a new society as the play travels decades into the future. Two previews for “Mr. Burns” are Wednesday and Thursday, Oct. 28-29, followed by opening night Friday, Oct. 30. Info: 865-974-5161 or clarencebrowntheatre.com.

get a lot of local ﬁlms, and we wanted to generate that more,” says Mahaffey. “And people really like to do the contests here … It’s become one of our most popular things.” Including the Sunday lineup, seven features will be screened. Friday night will include “Tales of Halloween,” an

anthology film, and “Deathgasm,” a horror film from New Zealand. “It’s like a splatter comedy, like early Peter Jackson or Sam Raimi films,” says Mahaffey. “It’s about a black metal band that conjures a demon accidentally.” Saturday’s films include “Sun Choke,” starring ’80s scream queen Barbara

Gligor met people who knew Von Mahlsdorf and was able to visit the country home that she renovated into a museum, which acts as the setting for the play.

Crampton. Mahaffey describes it as “kind of a psycholog ic a l horror ﬁlm.” Mahaffey and Huinker are both excited about showing “ I nt e r i o r,” the debut feature from Mahaffey director Zachary Beckler of Orlando. They’ve shown two of his shorts at previous festivals. “All of his ﬁlms tie in together,” says Mahaffey. “They’re all in the same universe and involve the same haunting at this house, but they’re three different perspectives to it. “It’s really good. It’s very low budget, but it’s really scary. It’s one of the scarier horror films I’ve seen recently.” Saturday will also bring “Turbo Kid,” “which is kind of like ‘Mad Max.’ It’s set in a post-apocalyptic future. It’s more lighthearted. It manages to balance tones really well because it’s a really

heartfelt film and you bond with the characters watching it. But it’s insanely gory, like a Troma film.” M o r e than 150 short films were submitted for the festival, Huinker and the organizers say it was tough to pare them down. Some will show before features and the grind-out; others will be screened in blocks. Huinker and Mahaffey both worked at Downtown West years ago, and they’re happy to be able to present shorts there, especially since most people only get to view them online. “It’s great to sit there with an audience and watch them,” says Huinker. Day and weekend passes are available at knoxvillehorrorfest.com and via a link from the fest’s Facebook page. Tickets for individual screenings will be available at the theater.

‘Steve Jobs’ Michael Fassbender plays the late CEO of Apple in “Steve Jobs,” a biopic that goes behind the scenes to reveal the trials and triumphs of the tech genius. Danny Boyle directed the film, which also stars Kate Winslet and Seth Rogen. “Steve Jobs” opens Friday in local theaters.

“We weave all the works into the story as a part of the action, and most of the poems work that way, too.” The story is told through a series of memories, flashbacks, dreams and nightmares as well as events in the play’s present time, roughly 1840. “The plot, if you can call it that, moves back and forth through time, in and out of Edgar’s memories to create an understanding – fictional, of course – of what gave Poe his macabre bent. “Was he vengeful, warped by emotion or drink or was he just mad? That’s what the play explores. It’s a theatrical piece that’s often a little creepy and has a few good scares for Halloween.” An education-based nonprofit, The Knoxville Children’s Theatre produces professional plays for children, by children.

Still on the firing line By Ronnie Mincey I’ve heard him preach on The Prodigal Son many times, and it is my favorite sermon of his. Each time he preaches it I wait eagerly for my favorite verse, Luke 15:17 KJV: “. . . How many hired servants of my father’s have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hungry [sic]!” When Pastor Oliver Wolfenbarger agreed to officiate our wedding, I told him I thought it proper as I had known him most of my life and he had married or buried most of my father’s “side of the house.” He replied that he had known me my entire life and was at the hospital when I was born. And he has continued to be there – when I was seven and visited with family in

Knoxville and first heard him preach at Hoitt Avenue Baptist; when he conducted prayer meeting at our house to minister to my father; on “The Way of Life” broadcast many Saturday afternoons from 1 until 1:30 on WKXV radio, AM 900; and on my at least annual visits to Loveland Baptist to get my “dose of Wolfenbarger.” For close to six decades this Man of God has dedicated his life to the Gospel. Dynamic though he is, his method is not to drag or scare “sheep into the fold.” I view him as a “cheerleader for Jesus,” never judgmental, always an encourager in how good the Christian way of life really is. I have heard Billy Graham called “The Presidents’

Pastor,” as he has conferred personally to so many throughout his ministry. Oliver Wolfenbarger has without doubt been the “Mincey Family Pastor,” even to those who were not actually his church members. A lot of my family attended Hoitt Avenue when Preacher Wolfenbarger pastored there, and it was a blow to us all when he was called to Morristown. How thrilled we were when he was called back to Knoxville to pastor Loveland. Yesterday was his 86th birthday, and he is in his 35th year as pastor of Loveland.Additionally, his radio broadcast is still on the air, same day, time and station. The Preacher says that some occasionally ask him

when he plans to retire. He says he doesn’t have plans to retire, he’s making plans to refire!” One of the things that has undoubtedly sustained the Pastor over the years is his sense of humor, a most endearing trait. We “get tickled” at him frequently. He said a lady once told him not to be hurt when we laugh, but that if he could see himself the way we do he would understand. He said he thought, “If you could see yourselves the way I do, you’d understand why I act this way!” Bad as I sometimes am, I hate to think where I’d be without his guidance. His teaching has always comforted, especially when I felt my own lacking. Next I return to the classroom to remember one instrumental in teaching me composition.

Strong end to summer for real estate market By Sherry Witt

Jay Nations and Jack Stiles, co-owners of Raven Records & Magpies Bakery owner Peggy Hambright is looking forward to Rarities, hope Open Streets Knoxville will benefit businesses as well as bicyclists. the fun of Open Streets. Photos by Betsy Pickle

Businesses open to concept of Open Streets By Betsy Pickle The difference between open and closed seems, well, open and shut. But even though Open Streets Knoxville this Sunday will close down – to motorized vehicles – a mile of Central Street, businesses along the corridor are looking forward to the expected inﬂux of cyclists and pedestrians. “I’m very excited about it,” says Peggy Hambright, owner of Magpies Bakery, 846 N. Central St. “I think it’s going to be great for this corridor. “It’s a great way to get people down here to see all the new stuff that’s been popping up in the last year or two.” Jay Nations, co-owner of Raven Records & Rarities, 1200 N. Central St., says that having the street ﬁlled with pedestrians means his store has a good chance to make an impression. “People tend to poke their head in a shop if they’re walking by more than if they’re in a car,” says Nations, tongue only halfway in cheek. Open Streets, which

takes place 1-4 p.m. Sunday, was organized by Bike Walk Knoxville and inspired by similar cyclist/pedestrian events that have taken root in cities across the United States and throughout Europe. More than a street festival, it aims to encourage physical activity and consideration of alternative transportation, share safety tips and promote local businesses. Many businesses will have special activities in addition to their regular goods and services. There will be plenty of room to move, along with guidance in doing so, with everything from a bike rodeo and bocce ball to Tai Chi demos and yoga classes. Several vendors will have bikes for rent. Most activities will be family friendly, and nearly everything but food is free. “We’re going to set up a tent and have some games,” says Hambright. She’s thought of “a cupcake walk where you have to hold it in a spoon or an old-fashioned cakewalk and give away some stuff.”

For those who want calories to burn off, restaurants from the Old City to Happy Holler – even ones usually closed on Sundays – will be open, and a number of food trucks will set up along the route. Not surprisingly, Matthew Kellogg, president of the Appalachian Mountain Bike Club, which meets monthly at Central Flats & Taps, says the AMBC is ﬁred up about Open Streets. “We are going to basically do a big arts and crafts project,” he says of their “Urban Forest” site, near the railroad tracks in the Old City. “We’re going to bring some of the forest to the streets and encourage people to stop with us for a little bit on their journey up and down Central Street.” Kellogg hopes this isn’t a one-time event. “We’d love to see it happen more often,” he says. “We think it’s good for folks, and we think it’s good for business. “We’re really, really proud of Bike Walk Knoxville for all that they’ve done in the past year, pulling the

(Tennessee) Bike Summit together and also getting this on the schedule and making it happen. It’s huge. It’s great.” It’s also just one step in Knoxville’s quest to become a bike-friendly city. “I think it’ll take a while to change the minds of all the people who aren’t used to driving around bicycles,” says Hambright. “And it scares me, the sort of aggression of some vehicle operators against bikers, like they don’t have a right to be on the road.” Jack Stiles, Raven’s other co-owner, says he’s looking forward to Open Streets and is in favor of promoting cycling. “If I lived in a city that was gridded out and it was comfortable to ride a bike back and forth, I’d do it in a heartbeat,” he says. He deﬁnitely sees the need for alternative transportation and “public transportation that makes sense.” “We’re going to have to get away from fossil fuels eventually,” he says.

Summer may have ended on Sept. 23, but local property sales and mortgage lending maintained a sizzling pace right through Witt the end of the month. The 30-day period ending on Sept. 30 produced 1,063 land transfers in Knox County. That topped the August output by 37 sales and easily bested last September’s total of 844 transfers. It was a busy month for both commercial and residential activity. The total value of land sold during September was $262.4 million, far surpassing August’s aggregate of $198 million and making September the second-largest month of the summer. By comparison, about $223 million worth of real estate was transferred in Knox County during September 2014. On the lending side,

there were ﬁve mortgage loans of more than $15 million recorded in September – easily the most of any month so far in 2015. The total amount borrowed against real estate in Knox County for the month was a robust $415.6 million – over $90 million more than the amount loaned last September. The largest property sale recorded during the month involved a commercial development located near the intersection of Kingston Pike and Concord Road, and better known as Farragut Pointe. The property sold for $11,875,000. The largest lending transaction was a loan to Woodstream Corporation against commercial property at 5360 National Drive and secured by a Deed of Trust in the amount of $27.68 million. The ﬁrst three quarters of 2015 have produced data that show clear, positive signs for real estate sales and mortgage lending. Last month was the largest September for both local markets since 2007.

Buying your first home A young couple stopped me at church the other day and asked about buying a home, their rst home. What a great time for them. I remember well the rst house Beth and I bought. It was an exciting time. It was adventurous. It made us feel grown up at 25 years of age. I recognized that same look of excitement and pride on their faces. After a time of congratulations and sharing in their joy, we started discussing some key points in the decision process. What debt they already have? School notes, vehicles, or credit cards? How long did they Tim Eichhorn plan on staying in the home? What upgrades or improvements would be required after purchasing the home? What might be a great initial price for a home could cost a good deal more in the rst year or two because of the hidden maintenance/upgrade issues. Then we got down to basics and just what really they needed to be able to show a bank.

1. What is the home value and what is their proposed down-payment? Lenders want the buyers to be invested in the property too. The mortgage industry has drastically changed their requirements since the 2008 meltdown. A down payment of 20% is the new norm and should be considered a requirement. Obviously, a lower home price means less cash needed on-hand for the down payment.

2. What is their credit score? Young people may have not had a long credit history so this score may not be “excellent” at this

point of their nancial lives. Knowing what their score is before sitting down with the banker is a goods idea. Free credit reports are available and apps like CreditKarma® can give an instant read on credit worthiness. Cash available and credit worthiness are key components that guide the amount of interest to be charged or if the mortgage will even be written.

3. What is your current nancial snapshot? Two numbers to think of here: the capacity to purchase involves payment and income histories and any assets accumulated; for young couples there may not be much history. The anticipated monthly housing expenses should be below 28% of their gross monthly income, ideally closer to 25%. Then the applicant’s total of monthly debt payments, including this new proposed mortgage, is divided by gross monthly income and gives the debt-to-income ratio If that debt ratio is higher than 36% then it will require a more stringent credit score which can be challenging for young home buyers. Simply translated, it is imperative to keep debt levels low as you start this journey. I enjoyed the opportunity to see this young couple starting their lives together and headed towards this rst big purchase. I remember my bride and I walking through our empty rst home just after completing the purchase and the hopes, dreams, and possibilities that lay before us. With forethought and planning it can be a place where you and your spouse turn a house into your home and begin building memories together.

While you were out …

Anesthesia team watched every heartbeat, every breath They’re the doctors you never met, the nurses you didn’t see. They’re the ones who lulled you to sleep without ever singing a lullaby, the ones who enabled you to gently awaken right on time. They are Parkwest Medical Center’s anesthesia team, an elite group of 10 anesthesiologists and 45 anesthetists who, like an army of guardian angels, watch over you as you sleep peacefully through anything from an appendectomy to neurosurgery. You may think you’ve never met them. More likely, however, the anesthesia just wiped them from your memory. “We say that it’s a good thing if your patient doesn’t remember you, because that means everything went well,” says Dr. Jeff Fuqua, an affable Tennessee native who chairs the hospital’s anesthesiology department. Not so in labor and delivery, however. There, Fuqua says, the mothers are more concerned about the epidural than childbirth. But when they discover the IV was the most painful part of it, they are quick to recall the kind doctor or nurse who eased their labor pain. “Now, those women,” he says with a laugh, “are grateful!” Last year, Parkwest anesthesiologists and anesthetists worked 14,200 cases, including about 500 heart surgeries and countless general; orthopedic; neuro; and ear, nose and throat surgeries. When it’s time for your colonoscopy, they’re there. When you need a breathing tube, they’re there. When you’re unconscious and lying on the operating table, they’re seated inches away behind the drape above your head as they keep close watch over your heart rate, breathing, blood pressure and other critical functions. “The whole time they (patients) are asleep we are monitoring, monitoring,” says Dr. Mitch Dickson, who has also served as Parkwest’s chief of staff and is a member of Covenant Health’s Board of Directors. “Monitoring their oxygen level, their EKG, their blood pressure, the gasses they are breathing in and out. We measure brain waves to determine the depth of anesthe-

Parkwest’s anesthesia dream team, Dr. Mitch Dickson and Dr. Jeff Fuqua. sia. We’re doing all those things while the surgeon is working. “Keep in mind, too, that the surgeon has more patients waiting,” Dickson adds. “So we need to do an anesthetic in a way that will wake patients up in a timely fashion. Obviously, if it takes three hours for them to wake up, the surgeon is not going to do another case in that operating room.” It’s a challenging task that requires much training and skill. Even so, it is one of those medical procedures often taken for granted. “It’s fun to watch surgery, but if you came back and watched me do anesthesia, you would be bored stiff,” says Fuqua. “Watching anesthesia is just boring! But when you are the one who’s got to get that tube in, the one who’s got to keep that patient alive but still and unconscious, it’s a totally different thing.” Yet, the critical role anesthesia professionals play in healthcare is seldom seen or understood by the patients they serve.

“Every patient thoroughly researches the surgeon when they need surgery, but no one looks into who is sedating them,” said Rick Lassiter, Parkwest’s chief administrative of cer. “These are very skilled but often overlooked medical professionals who deserve recognition for the complex work they do.” It is the anesthesiologist who “holds the trump card” before surgery begins. Having formulated an anesthesia plan in advance of the surgery based on height, weight, age and a host of other factors, the anesthesiologist is well-versed in the patient’s medical history although he or she may have never met the patient. “We are the patient’s last medical clearance before proceeding with surgery,” says Dickson. “If we see any concern about their medical history – or if they’re having chest pain the surgeon didn’t know about – we’re the ones who would prevent them from going ahead with the surgery.”

From ‘takeoff to landing,’ anesthesia gets you there safely Dr. Jeff Fuqua says the work of the anesthesiologist is much like that of a pilot for an airline. “If you think about it, there are a lot of similarities between anesthesia and airline ying,” says Fuqua, an anesthesiologist at Parkwest Medical Center. “You get on a plane and give control to that pilot, trusting that he’s going to take that plane up safely and get you to where you are going. We’re kind of the same way – we have the takeoff, we have the landing. You are putting your life in my hands and I take that seriously. That’s important to you, your kids, your family. Every patient is a person with loved ones who want to see them come back safely.” Yet, just as there are passengers with a fear of ying, there are also patients with a fear of anesthesia. “Most people don’t realize how safe anesthesia is now. Years ago, the American Society of Anesthesiologists launched some safety initiatives that have really helped, and our safety data have been tremendous over the years,” says Dr. Mitch Dickson, Parkwest anesthesiologist. “Now, anesthesia is one of the safer medical procedures you can have.” Fuqua concurs that the ASA’s initiatives have “taken safety to a whole new level.” Furthermore, he says, technological inno-

vations in monitoring equipment such as the capnograph which measures the CO2 a patient exhales, the pulse oximeter which measures oxygen levels and pulse, and the introduction of the sleep drug propofol have “revolutionized” anesthesia safety. “When I was in residency in the early 1990s, the chance of a major catastrophic event was 1 in 10,000. Those are pretty good numbers,” Fuqua says. “Recent numbers say it’s 1 in 250,000. That’s how much safer it’s gotten in 20-25 years. When I think about people in the 1970s doing anesthesia without having those monitors I have now, it scares me to death. Of course at that time, you didn’t have them and you did the best you could do with what you had.”

Patients are encouraged to talk with the anesthesiologist or anesthetist about any concerns. “Tell them if you’ve had any problems with nausea or vomiting in the past, tell them if you have had any complications with your previous anesthetic history or if any member of your family has had any signi cant problem with anesthesia,” advises Dickson. “Everybody has different anesthetic tolerances – some have lower tolerances and some have higher tolerances. All those things are important to know.” “I think it’s good to know who is providing your care,” adds Fuqua. “Is this person a physician or a CRNA? It’s good to know what kind of relationship is there. But mostly, a person should talk about any concerns they have. “What I think patients really need to know is: What’s going to be done to me? Are you doing regional anesthesia or general? Then, is there anything you are particularly worried about? For instance, if I’m a smoker and have COPD, I’m going to be worried about that as an anesthesiologist. So it’s good to know what your concerns are going in. You want to know the type of anesthesia and then have trust that they are going to do ne.”

The “art and science” of anesthesia, as Fuqua calls it, is more than “putting a person to sleep.” “We’re responsible for taking care of patients in the recovery room; we do epidurals for labor and delivery. Any time there is a dif cult intubation or a procedure where somebody needs an airway on the oor – typically in the intensive care unit – we’re called,” says Dickson. “We’re called for sedation in the GI Lab. We do sedation in the emergency room. We have different roles all over the hospital.” “Anywhere that needs deep sedation or general anesthesia, we’re involved,” Fuqua says. With more than 14,000 cases a year, it isn’t surprising that a culture of teamwork has prevailed between anesthesiologists and anesthetists at Parkwest. “They’re critical. They allow us to cover all the surgeries here that need to be done. They’re our ‘extenders,’ ” says Fuqua, noting that the anesthetists, who are advanced practice nurses most often referred to as CRNAs (Certi ed Registered Nurse Anesthetist), actually handle “98 to 99 percent” of the cases while working under the supervision of the anesthesiologists (or MDAs – Medical Doctor-Anesthesia). “We work together,” says Dickson. “We function as a team, and they enable us to do our job better and more ef ciently because of their expertise.” Fuqua said he feels “fortunate” to have such a competent group of anesthetists. “I know I can trust them on a routine case,” he says. “I know they’ll be diligent about it, and that they’ll call me if they need to. In anesthesia, that is a key.” It’s the kind of con dence that helps everyone sleep well. “In anesthesia, you don’t get a pat on the back every day from your patients saying, ‘you did a great job,’ ” says Fuqua. “They are asleep so they don’t know. So when you leave at the end of the day, you have to know you did a good job. You know if you’ve done well. That’s your grati cation.”

Ownby’s fitne tness regimen puts a sparkle spar in her eye and helps help her in all areas of her life. Photo Bledso Photography by Bledsoe

on the race By Carol Shane

“I

will confess,” says runner Jennifer Ownby, “it started out about looks. I had some cellulite I wanted to get rid of.” Ownby, who is a legal assistant at Hodges, Doughty & Carson, PLLC, has been dedicated to a consistent fitness regimen since 2011. She’s exercised in fits and starts most of her life, but her family’s medical history, which includes cancer, heart issues and diabetes, concerns her. “I decided this latest fitness spurt was going to stick permanently, or I would probably have some health problems come up,” she says. Right now she’s training for a half marathon in early November. She runs five to six miles a day on a treadmill, then gets outside on the weekends for longer runs. She also includes basic strength training and yoga. “I structure whatever training I do around a goal race or two, and will change my training plan if I feel like it’s not producing results or if I feel an injury coming on. “I’m self-trained. Coaches and trainers are great, but totally out of my budget

f o r now, so I read a lot and follow a lot of resources on vari-ous social al media oututlets.” Along with regular exercise comes mes nutritional awareness. wareness. “I used ed to think ‘Yay, I’m a runner and d I can eat anything hi I want!’” she says. “Nope. When I was training for my first marathon, I ate my way out of a couple of dress sizes. I learned that I need to focus on nutrients.” She eats five to six small meals a day and includes protein at each one. “One thing that really helps is to take some

No food iis ‘‘off-limits,’ ff li i ’ b but I generally stay away from fast foods and sweets. “I will have an occasional cupcake at the office – we have some great bakers – and sometimes after a particularly long workday, one only has the mental fortitude to eat Doritos straight out of the bag! I also have a gin & tonic just about every night.”

She says MyFitnessPal is a great tool for measuring caloric intake. Her FitBit Charge HR also helps. “After measuring & weighing food for a while, you get a feel for how much you need to eat and the tracking becomes unnecessary.” Ownby, who also plays oboe and English horn for the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra, says a consistent fitness regimen helps in other – not just physical – aspects of her life. “I stopped getting nervous before orchestra performances,” she says. There was a particular solo in Tchaikovsky’s “Nutcracker,” for instance, that caused her considerable stress. “I would always freak out before [it.] Couldn’t play it, heart would race, hands would shake. “At the first rehearsal of 2011, after I’d been running for only two or three months, my heart rate did not budge, To page 2

From page 1 and for the first time in a good 20 years, I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss a note in that section.â&#x20AC;? In addition, the sense of accomplishment from her morning workouts helps her through her workday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I get to work and have 10 different things go wrong all at once, if I know that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve already run six miles and deadlifted my body weight a few times that morning, a malfunctioning copy machine is not that big a deal.â&#x20AC;? Ownbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s training has brought about one other unexpected result which could be considered a plus or a minus, depending on oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s point of view. Anyone whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ever run a 5K knows that end-of-race photos can often be hideously hilarious. Sweat, exhaustion and desperation all show on the runnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I follow a blog called â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;RunHaven,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and they put up a post with ugly race photos that others sent in,â&#x20AC;? Ownby says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Send us yours and we might send you a T-shirt!â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I thought, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Oh, I have some that are way worse. I like free T-shirts. What the heck?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? She also sent in a regular photo in order to show that she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always look â&#x20AC;&#x153;like that.â&#x20AC;? Her pictures were published and she got her T-shirt. In fact, if you go to â&#x20AC;&#x153;runhaven.comâ&#x20AC;? and search for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hilariously Ugly Race Photos,â&#x20AC;? itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ownbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s photos that pop up on the thumbnail. And as such things go, the post occasionally enjoys a resurgence on social media. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So this is not dead yet,â&#x20AC;? says Ownby. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Darn it.â&#x20AC;? But her less-than-stellar Internet portrait doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bother her for long. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always focused on the next race, and determined to keep up her healthy lifestyle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Being out on a run for two or three hours or putting yourself through a hard workout,â&#x20AC;? she says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;makes other things easier to handle.â&#x20AC;?

From page 2 our service area. Since it was founded in 1997, Komen Knoxville has invested more than $6.6 million in local breast health agencies and organizations. The funds Komen Knoxville grants to community programs have made a positive difference in the lives of those living with this deadly disease. During the 2014-2015 grant cycle, Komen Knoxville funding provided: ■ 11,583 people with group breast health education ■ 804 people with 1 on 1 education breast health education ■ 113 people with Spanish interpretation ■ 3,593 mammograms were made possible ■ 510 clinical breast examinations ■ 296 patients provided navigational services ■ 116 people with breast cancer diagnostic services ■ 252 breast cancer patients with treatment assistance including transportation services to medical treatment, food, rent/mortgage, utilities, and other life necessities

■ 267 people at high risk for hereditary breast cancer with no resources to pay for genetic counseling ■ 14 people at high risk for hereditary breast cancer with no resources to pay for genetic screening – are now armed with the knowledge of their family risk and can take steps to manage their risk ■ 45 breast cancers were detected in people who otherwise may not have had access to this life-saving information who are now able to seek treatment The remaining 25 percent of net funds were invested in the Susan G. Komen Grants Program managed at the national level. In 2015-2016, Komen Knoxville was fortunate to be able to invest more than $148,756 solely toward research.

9 Tips for Aging Well 1075407_796.07.14 A-1 Finchum 1.2.indd 1

lthough you can’t stop time, the right type and amount of physical activity can help stave off many age-related health problems. More than half (59 percent) of Americans expect to still be living at home independently at the age of 80, according to a recent survey by the American Physical Therapy Association. However, the same study showed that at least half of the same population recognizes they will see a decline in strength and flexibility as they age. Movement experts such as physical therapists can help aging individuals overcome pain, gain and maintain movement, and preserve independence – often helping to avoid the need for surgery or long-term use of prescription drugs. These nine tips, provided by the experts at the American Physical Therapy Association, are keys to helping you age well: Chronic pain doesn’t have to be the boss of you. Each year 116 million Americans experience chronic pain from

arthritis or other conditions. Proper exercise, mobility, and pain management techniques can ease pain, improving your overall quality of life. You can get better and stronger at any age. Research shows that an appropriate exercise program can improve your muscle strength and flexibility as you age. Progressive resistance training, where muscles are exercised against resistance that gets more difficult as strength improves, has been shown to help prevent frailty. You may not need surgery or drugs for your low back pain. Low back pain is often over-treated with surgery and drugs despite a wealth of scientific evidence demonstrating that physical therapy can be an effective alternative with less risk. You can lower your risk of diabetes with exercise. One in four Americans over the age of 60 has diabetes. Obesity and physical inactivity can To page 4

Exercise can help you avoid falls and keep your independence. More than half of adults over 65 report problems with movement, including walking 1/4 mile, stooping, and standing. Exercise can improve movement and balance and reduce your risk of falls. Your bones want you to exercise. Osteoporosis, or weak bones, affects more than half of Americans over the age of 54. Exercises that keep you on your feet, like walking, jogging or dancing, and exercises using resistance such as weight lifting, can improve bone strength or reduce bone loss. Your heart wants you to exercise. Heart disease is the No. 1 cause of death in the United States. One of the top ways of preventing it and other cardiovascular diseases is exercise. Research shows that if you already have heart disease, appropri-

ate exercise can improve your health. Your brain wants you to exercise. People who are physically active,
