FIRST WORDS

Here comes Randy Boyd

By Scott Frith

Last month, Randy Boyd, the former state commissioner of economic and community development, kicked off his campaign for governor. Boyd is best known for his philanthropy, ownership Scott Frith of the Tennessee Smokies baseball team, and as founder of PetSafe (the folks who make the invisible fence for your dog).

Media coverage is the lifeblood of any statewide campaign, and Boyd has proven skilled at getting it. While money can’t buy you love, money can certainly buy good publicity. Boyd has figured out that giving away a lot of money can bring a steady stream of positive media coverage for a nascent gubernatorial campaign.

For example, just last week Boyd announced a $223,000 donation to the South-Doyle High School library. (Boyd attended South-Doyle.) Last October, Boyd donated $5.5 million to UT track and field. (Boyd attended UT.) Last month, Boyd announced a $5 million gift to the Knoxville Zoo. (Boyd clearly likes animals.)

You get the idea.

It also helps to be friends with the governor. Randy Boyd is a longtime political ally of Gov. Bill Haslam. Haslam has openly praised Boyd. Expect their financial supporters to be indistinguishable.

This cozy relationship is almost certain to cause unease among conservative Republican primary voters. Just as Shirley MacLaine once said to never trust a man when he’s in love, drunk, or running for office, many conservatives will question whether Boyd is a conservative at all. In fact, Boyd appears to have anticipated this problem by bringing in Republican lifer and conservative stalwart Chip Saltsman to run his campaign.

Also, while Boyd may be a Haslam ally, Boyd won’t retrace Haslam’s path to Nashville.

Haslam was elected mayor of Knoxville twice before being elected governor. Boyd has never run for office. (Even Bob Corker served as mayor of Chattanooga before being elected to the U.S. Senate in 2006.)

Boyd’s decision to skip local office reflects a new political reality. It’s a lot tougher for a Republican to get elected mayor than it used to be. For example, it’s no secret that Knoxville has To page A-3

Cedar Springs Weekday School celebrates golden anniversary

By Nancy Anderson Cedar Springs Weekday School celebrated its 50th anniversary Wednesday, April 5, with a barbecue dinner at Cedar Springs Presbyterian Church to honor present and previous staff.

In 1966, the school began as a ministry outreach under the direction of Charlotte Womack with one other teacher, two classrooms and 24 students.

This school year, having earned accreditation by the Department of Education in 1993, the school serves 750 students with 70 staff

members.

While the school began as a kindergarten program, it evolved to include many early learning opportunities, including afterschool and summer programs for elementary school students as well as part-time and full-time preschool programs that teach school readiness.

Assistant director Susie Isaac explained the program, saying, “We see the school as a ministry that responds to the needs of the community with regard to early childhood education, particularly single mothers and

immigrants. We have a variety of programs from preschool to kindergarten, to afterschool program and summer programs for school-age children to help fulfill that need. “Our afterschool program services nine elementary schools including A.L. Lotts, Cedar Bluff and Ball Camp. We’re always open to coming to new schools. If the parents can get eight kids lined up, we’re happy to add them to our program. We want to be wherever the need is.�

Bobby Todd Antiques to relocate to Bearden Well-known Sweetwater gift and antique shop Bobby Todd Antiques is relocating to its sister store, “UPSTAIRS,� at 4514 Old Kingston Pike, in Knoxville.

Bobby Brown and Todd Richesin announced they will be moving the store following the sale of their current building in Sweetwater; initially opening a “Pop-up Shop� for Bobby Todd in late summer, and then transforming the UPSTAIRS location fully to Bobby Todd for the opening of their much anticipated Bobby Todd Christmas Shop in October.

Situated in the iconic “Up and Down Service Station,� UPSTAIRS is at 4514 Old Kingston Pike in the heart of the Bearden district, at the intersection of Kingston Pike and Lyons View Pike.

Bobby and Todd are thrilled with their plans to relocate. “This is something we have been dreaming about for some time,� said Richesin. “We want to consolidate our efforts and return to our original Bobby Todd mission statement, which involves really focusing on each and every product we offer, making sure it is right for our brand,� said Brown. Bobby Todd was founded on the idea that the shop would

be an extension of the way Bobby and Todd live in their own home.

They have since moved from their original loft space in Knoxville’s historic Old City, to a gracious European country home in West Knoxville; but their current home embodies their dream of the way people should live. “Classic, stylish, and comfortable. Those are the key elements to creating the perfect backdrop for experiencing your life,� said Brown.

Bobby and Todd have been committed to downtown Sweetwater since starting their business there 15 years ago, and because of that commitment, they have hand selected the buyer for their building. “Sweetwater is our hometown, so we are excited by the opportunity to fill our former Sweetwater building with a likeminded, creative retailer who will contribute to the unique personality and fabric of the historic downtown area,� Richesin said. “The new owner is someone who is just as committed to downtown Sweetwater as we have been and will carry antiques, gift items, and will also offer interior design services,� Brown said.

CAK teens take life-changing trip to Israel

By Kelly Norrell Three Christian Academy of Knoxville seniors had “the experience of a lifetime” when a trip they took to Israel March 12-24 became a spiritual and life quest as well.

Cameron Parham, 17, and best friends Krystina and Hannah Engblom, both 18, visited Israel on a tour organized by Knoxville’s Faith Promise Church. Seeing the sites of Christian events they had studied for years in CAK Bible classes and in their churches caused an unexpected surge in faith.

And as they approach the cusp between high school and college, all said the trip fueled plans, including return trips someday.

Now all three girls are telling schoolmates about Israel and preparing presentations in their Bible classes.

“It made the words of the Bible come to life. I am in awe that I was in the Holy Land,” said Krystina.

It all began when the Engblom twins’ parents, Dr. Jim and Karyn Engblom, announced the family would join the trip with Faith Promise, their church. Cameron’s parents, Jon and Dianna Parham, agreed that she could go, too.

The itinerary swept them up in a rush of experiences, including visits to the Valley of Elah, where David and Goliath fought, and Golgotha, the spot where Jesus was crucified, now located near a bus station.

Beginning at the Sea of Galilee in northern Israel, the group of about 40 visited the heights of Mount Carmel. Krystina’s most memorable day happened nearby.

“We took a boat across the Sea of Galilee. In Matthew 5 it says, ‘You are the light of the world. A city built on a hill cannot be hid.’ Tiberias is the city lit up at night above the Sea of Galilee. It made that verse come alive,” she said.

Dr. Tony Crisp, tour director and senior pastor with Estanallee Baptist

Church, led the group south toward Jerusalem. A visit to the 38-percent salt Dead Sea, Earth’s lowest point on dry land, was captivating.

“It has sand, but it is orange. It looks like the Grand Canyon,” said Krystina.

“You can easily float in it but it makes your skin burn because of the salt,” said Hannah. Cameron got salt in her eyes and said she “cried the salt out.”

In Bethlehem, they visited a cave believed to be the site where Mary gave birth to Jesus. It is the lowest part of the Church of the Nativity.

In Jerusalem, they visited the World Holocaust Remembrance Center, the Wailing Wall, where they wrote prayers and left them in the rocks, the Mount of Olives, where Jesus often visited, and the Garden of Gethsemane, where Jesus prayed with his disciples.

The climax of the trip the last day in Jerusalem was a guided walk

through all the places Jesus went after his betrayal – the home of Caiaphas, who helped convict him, Herod’s gate, where Roman soldiers mocked and beat Jesus, and Golgotha (Calvary), where he was crucified. The group took communion at Jesus’s tomb.

“It was the most spiritual thing we’d ever done,” said Krystina.

“There were a lot of tears. I was crying,” said Cameron.

Another highlight for all was being baptized in the Jordan River by Dr. Chris Stevens, senior pastor of Faith Promise Church.

Each student said the trip will affect her plans – Cameron to enter the ministry, Krystina to be a nurse and Hannah, who is thinking now of becoming a writer. All plan to attend Lee University next year.

“This was perfect just before Easter,” said Krystina.

“I don’t want to forget anything,” said Hannah.

Sydney Palmer, 16, Kaitlyn Stephens, 17, and Abby Green, 16, discuss the high cost of utilities with volunteer Rebecca Shores.

Amazing life

By Nancy Anderson It was an exciting day for the junior class of Hardin Valley Academy as they experienced a dose of “real life” during “My Amazing Life Day” held at the school Thursday, April 6.

“My Amazing Life” is a cross between “The Game of Life” and “The Amazing Race.” The kids choose a career to find out what their income is, then go through each of 38 activities such as signing up for a mortgage, paying utility bills, having children and playing the lottery to get a taste of “real life” expenses.

The kids get the opportunity to think about what kind of career they might like, what lifestyle they might enjoy, what impact income level has, and how difficult it might be to plan for the future.

Junior Sydney Palmer, 16, came to the realization that life is expensive while signing up for utilities after establishing a mortgage.

“It’s fun, but very challenging. I’m a chemist, which gives me a pretty good income, but utilities are expensive and that’s something that you have to pay. I mean you pay it or they shut it off. I still have kids and other stuff to think about, and I’m finding that my money is going quickly.”

“Windfalls” was the most popular station with students playing the “lottery.” Winners then went into a wind-driven money booth sponsored by Tennessee State Bank and were allowed to keep all the money they caught.

The ultimate goal is to save for retirement. Financial planning, making a plan for retirement, is among the first

Boyd would have a tough time getting elected mayor while also maintaining his viability as a candidate in a statewide Republican primary. The ideological gulf between the average voter in a Knoxville city election and the average voter in a statewide Republican primary would be a tough divide for even the most talented politician to cross.

News from EyeXcel

What is EyeXcel?

North Knoxville eye practice changes its name: Drs. Rhyne & Patton Optometry has a long-standing history serving the people of Knoxville and surrounding areas. During lunch in the break room of the office, Dr. Patton is just as likely to be talking of plans for the practice as telling stories from the past. As one of the founding partners of the eye care practice, he is a huge reason why the history of the practice is so important to its future.

When Dr. Patton tells the story of starting 40 years ago, he always talks about how interest rates were high and getting a loan was almost impossible.

The doctors had just graduated with their doctorate degrees, but were still turned down for a $500 credit card.

“Times were different then, and so much has changed,” says Dr. Patton.

“Callahan Drive was a small, two-lane residential street. To my knowledge, we were the first and only business on this road, but it was all we could afford.”

Slowly but surely, the practice added more patients and steadily grew over the years. On any given day now, you will see a brand new patient to the practice, or Dr. Patton might be checking the eyes of children whose parents became his patients when they were just teenagers.

For those wondering about the new name: No, Dr. Patton hasn’t sold the practice. Today there is a larger staff and much more advanced technology than 40 years ago, but it is still the same family eye care practice dedicated to the community. The story of the legacy is still unfolding, so why the

name change now?

Dr. Patton is still working hard to set the practice up for future success, but he is also dreaming of his retirement and all the fish he will have time to catch in a few years. The decision to change the name was a hard one, but Dr. Patton knew it was the right time to change things up with a more contemporary name for the next generation of doctors. “The hardest part was not the decision to change, but what in the world to change the name to,” says Dr. Patton.

Dr. Bruce D. Gilliland joined the practice in 2015, and Dr. Frank A. Carusone in 2016. The three doctors had a difficult time agreeing on a new name at first, and many silly names were jokingly tossed around for fun, but after much consideration, EyeXcel was chosen after being suggested

by Dr. Gilliland’s teenage son.

EyeXcel represents the team’s passion for the health of your eyes and the commitment to providing excellent care. When a business has had a name for many decades, it can be very confusing to change it. But now we have a name that fits our objectives so well.

Practice administrator Ben Patton and partners Dr. David Patton, Dr. Frank Carusone and Dr. Bruce Gilliland with the new EyeXcel sign

Dr. Patton, along with his partners and staff, are proud of the history of the practice and excited about the future. Plans are in motion for adding more eye specialists and expanding the current location to keep serving more people in the Knoxville area.

Mad Hatter’s tea a success at Concord United Methodist

By Nancy Anderson

Nearly 50 little girls, moms, grandmothers, and aunts all dressed in their finest hats gathered to attend a tea party “Mad Hatter” style at Concord United Methodist Church Saturday, April 1.

Each table was resplendent with cups and saucers, flowers, stuffed animals, plates of finger sandwiches, scones, and fruit kabobs.

Everyone seemed to be wearing an interesting hat, some homemade. Bella Quba, 5, won “Best Hat,” earning her a bouquet of flowers for her “Alice in Wonderland” inspired hat featuring butterflies and figurines.

Anna and Suzanne Summerville received thunderous applause for their mother-daughter interpretative dance to “I Will Carry You.” Farragut High School senior Katy War-

nick seemed to delight all singing her rendition of “A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes.”

Concord United Methodist Women President Becky Bishop said the event was to promote fellowship.

“We had the tea party because we wanted to start doing more things within our church and we (United Methodist Women) are about supporting children and women in the world.

“The Mad Hatter’s Tea Party is something elegant yet fun we could do to promote fellowship. I think everyone did a great job with their hats, many of them are homemade so that’s a fun activity for little girls and their mothers, or grandmothers and aunts to do together.

“It’s seems to be a success so maybe we’ll do it again next year.”

Ever wondered if temperature affects the strength of a magnet?

Tate School fifth-grader Alisa Apostoaei did. Her science project on the topic, which she titled “Stuck on You,” was grand prizewinner at the 17th annual Tate’s Regional Science Fair April 2-4.

Alisa posited that at lower temperatures, a magnet would be stronger, and that in greater heat, it would be weaker. Using a magnet and paper clips, she measured the magnet’s strength at 0 degrees, 70 degrees and 500 degrees.

Her hypothesis was correct. “The magnet was stronger in cold temperatures and weaker in hot temperatures,” she said.

About 70 students in grades 3-5 from five Knoxville schools competed in three categories in the science fair, a citywide institution in promoting science. Categories were earth science, life science and physical science.

Each student stood by one of the project display boards covering tables in the gym of the Knoxville Christian Center, 818 North Cedar Bluff Road, nervously awaiting an in-depth interview with a panel of judges.

Their boards had punchy titles like “Ice,

Ice, Baby!” and “It’s a Blast.”

David Page, an ORNL research scientist and longtime member of the yearly corps of about 24 judges, said the interviews are what he loves best.

“We introduce ourselves. Some are really nervous. They usually have a prepared speech. We ask questions and ask them to walk us through the scientific process,” he said.

“They are very inspiring. They come up with answers to questions that matter to them. Sometimes as an adult, you forget the curiosity of science. Seeing kids excited about science is cool to me, because they are our future.”

Page said helping students master the scientific method, the body of techniques scientists use to answer a question, is a key goal. “It’s not infallible, but it’s proven over time as the best way to get results,” he said.

Tate school third-grader Jack Patterson, 9, investigated the question, “Which light source produces more energy when used to power a solar panel?” He found that direct sunlight produces more. “But if you are just doing flashlight or laser, then fluorescent at one foot or incandescent at 5 feet,” he said.

Jack’s project placed first in the thirdgrade earth science category.

Thomas Jefferson on Twitter?

By Kip Oswald

Our third president, Thomas Jefferson, was a pretty interesting guy, and my special group of adults knew some things about him, as I expected they would. They Kip all knew he signed the Declaration of Independence, founded the University of Virginia, and that a sculpture of his head is carved into the granite of Mount Rushmore in South Dakota.

None of them knew the really cool things I found out about Thomas Jefferson.

They did not know President Jefferson could speak five languages or that he was a gardener, writer, collector, inventor and chef! He said he would rather be a gardener than a president and he had a garden with over 260 vegetables and over 180 fruits. He even brought tomatoes from other countries so he could eat them when people here thought they were poisonous. He ate so many vegetables, he was considered a vegetarian.

As a writer and collector, Jefferson wrote an estimated 19,000 letters in his lifetime and collected 6,487 books in his personal library. The Library of Congress purchased books from Jefferson’s personal library and opened the first permanent library called Thomas Jefferson Building.

Jefferson also collected the bones of a mastodon – a 40 million-year-old animal that resembled an elephant. He used to lay the bones out in one of the rooms in the White House to build a skeleton.

Jefferson also invented many things. He made copies of his letters by inventing the first copy machine.

He invented the automatic closing door similar to the ones used on buses today, the folding chair and a rotating book stand that held five books at a time, as well as many other things. In addition to the garden foods, Jefferson had an affinity for ice cream, becoming the first president to serve ice cream at the White House, in 1802, and from that he created the dish Baked Alaska.

President Jefferson was also the first president to do several other cool and amazing things. He led the first inaugural parade, which was really just a bunch of people who followed him back to his boarding house, not even the White House, after he was sworn it to the presidency. He was also the first president of the Democrat-Republic Party. He was the first president to greet people with a handshake!

Before he became president, all presidents had bowed to people as a greeting.

Possible Tweets from President Jefferson could be: Thomas Jefferson @ ManofthePeople I spent 15 million dollars and bought enough land in 1803 to double the size of our country without anyone’s approval!

Thomas Jefferson @ ManofthePeople I used our military to fight pirates in the Mediterranean Thomas Jefferson @ ManofthePeople I have written my own epitaph for my tombstone to read that I was Author of the Declaration of Independence, of The Statute of Virginia for Religious Freedom, and Father of the University of Virginia. Being the president is not as important to me as those three accomplishments!

A message from beyond “… since all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God; they are now justified by his grace as a gift. …

(Romans 3:23 NRSV) I was going through the stacks on my desk recently and found a piece of note paper. I immediately recognized my mother’s writing, which brought tears to my eyes.

She was 97 when she died, having lived longer than any of her forebears.

I have always believed that God allowed my brother and me to keep her here as long as possible to make up for the very early death of our father.

However, it was the words on the paper that struck my heart: “We have not yet learned the alphabet, much less the language of grace.”

I keep pondering that

TVUUC’s annual rummage sale lots of fun

By Carol Z. Shane

The first day of this month was a great day not only for tricksters but for thrift shoppers as well when Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church held its annual rummage sale.

“The variety! The prices!” exclaimed shopper Eunice Buffalo. “You really have to look around and look under the tables five times to make sure you see everything!”

The annual event is one of the most popular tag sales in town, offering an eclectic mix of Christmas decorations, original art, furniture, housewares, knickknacks and everything else usually found when folks clear out their houses to benefit a cause.

“We start collecting for the upcoming rummage sale the day we finish up the one before,” said Valeri Horner, chairperson for the event. “The proceeds go to all sorts of programs at the church.” Horner’s mom Martha, brother Gaerith and son Mason Lee were also close by, making it a real family affair. All were dressed exuberantly. “I refer to myself as ‘the jester-in-charge,’” she said.

To be honest, I think we are suspicious of grace. We humans tend to think that we have to earn grace on some kind of point system.

T & T Real Estate Investments, LLC: Quality comes first

By Carol Z. Shane Walking through a recently renovated 1970s-era home with Travis McKinney and Tanner Davis, owner-operators of T & T Real Estate Investments, LLC, two things are immediately apparent: they have a passion for what they do, and unwavering dedication to providing firstrate design, materials and workmanship for the properties they rejuvenate.

The single-story-with-basement structure boasts a living room with vaulted ceiling and clerestory windows. Spacious and light-filled, its open plan creates a feeling of flow, and its deep deck takes advantage of the beautiful woodland setting.

McKinney continually points out upgrades and design choices that enhance the space. The neutral color palette features high-end materials such as granite, marble, wood flooring, subway tile and interior shiplap siding that blend into the whole, creating a welcoming atmosphere that’s integrated and sophisticated. No one thing shouts for attention or fights with another material, and the superior quality and workmanship is immediately evident upon walking through the front door. That’s the way McKinney and Davis like it.

“The master bath has high-end tile, top of the line quartz, a frameless shower door and all modern high-end fixtures,” says McKinney. “And we didn’t have to put in this built-in double wall oven, but we’re glad we did. When you’re buying a house in this price range, you expect these kinds of things.”

Friends since “just before ninth grade,” the two started T & T in Tennessee’s Tri-Cities area in 2008 and

brought the business to Knoxville in 2011. Having developed a valued network of contractors, they have a capable, dependable go-to crew. “We have floor guys, HVAC guys, plumbers. Our interior designer, Liza Dewald, is amazing.

We’re so fortunate that she’s part of the T & T team. She plays a major role in the designs of these homes.”

McKinney and Davis value relationships, and say that most of their highly successful business has been done by word of mouth. Specializing in high-end properties, they’ve rehabbed and sold 100 houses in East Tennessee so far.

It helps that they started out as real estate appraisers; McKinney is statecertified. With their solid appraisal knowledge, they greatly understand value and know the types of upgrades that add value to homes.

“We don’t try to ‘cheap out,’” says McKinney. “Our clients can be very exacting – they know what they want, and they know quality when they see it.” He gazes out of one of the house’s many windows to the verdant, early-spring landscape, visible from virtually every room. The home is in a neighborhood off Lyons Bend but, says Davis, “when the trees fill out, you won’t know there’s anyone else here.”

“This is what we like to do,” says McKinney. “We like to transform.”

You can find T & T Real Estate Investments, LLC, online on Facebook and Twitter.

This house will be listed by Travis McKinney with Keller Williams Realty, 865-591-2127.

Prominent in both the grocery and insurance business, the Harringtons have contributed much to Fountain City’s history. Shown here are (from left) T.R. Harrington Jr., Minnie Harrington Johnson, T.R. Harrington Sr., Grace Harrington Abel, Joseph V. Harrington and John A. Harrington.

Harrington Insurance’s Fountain City roots run deep The senior class in the 1924 Central High School yearbook (“The Sequoyah”) is a veritable honor roll of women and men who made a contribution to Fountain City’s history: Staley Hensley, Glenard Gentry, Fannie Mae Andrews, Alberta Ahler, Roy Blanc, Jeanette Andrews, Dorothy Vise, Roy Acuff and Theodore “Ted” Lowe, among others.

But another person who graduated that year will be honored on April 22 when the company he later coowned, the Harrington Insurance Agency, will celebrate its 75th anniversary.

Each senior class elected two classmates who were granted the B.U. Degree, an honor given to their most popular man and woman.

Joe Harrington was the male honoree in 1924, sharing the honor with his female counterpart, Nettie Blanc.

But the story of the Harringtons and their roots in Fountain City starts much

Jim Tumblin

earlier than that. The Harringtons’ patriarch was Thomas R. Harrington Sr., whose Harrington Grocery Store occupied a place among buildings on the two sides of Broadway adjoining and fronting Fountain City Park. Among them were the Fountain City Bank, Sherman Wallace’s Barber Shop on the west side and the Masonic Lodge, Central Baptist Church and John I. Copeland’s garage far down the block on the east side. A lot of history was made in that block.

Theodore R. Harrington Sr. (1873-1944) and Nancy Cox Harrington (1872-1931) were parents of five children: Minnie Mae “Minno,” Joseph V., Mary E., John A.

and Thomas R. “T.R.” Harrington Jr. T.R. Jr. (1912-1980) attended grade school at Fountain City Elementary.

He then entered Knoxville High School because he wanted to play in its noteworthy band and graduated in 1931. In the midst of the Great Depression, he found work as a railroad engineer fulfilling his earliest ambition. Later he matriculated at the University of Tennessee, played as an accomplished percussionist in the band and graduated in 1937. Soon after graduation he was employed as an agent with the Tennessee Auto Insurance Co. at 717 S. Gay. T.R. and Chloe Ault, now a prominent local artist and Central High School Wall of Fame recipient, were married on Dec. 31, 1938, at the home of his sister in Dayton, Tenn. T.R. now had a spouse to support and, while he was making plans to open his own agency, he

continued working at TAIC. He founded the Harrington Insurance Agency in 1942.

The aforementioned older brother Joseph V. “Joe” Harrington (1902-1960) had worked with his father in the grocery and with his father-in-law, Barney T. Giddens, owner of B.T. Ice Co.,

since graduating from high school. Joe and Reita Giddens, a 1929 Central High School graduate, had been married by the iconic Rev. Dr. Fred F. Brown in Knoxville’s First Baptist Church on Jan. 1, 1931.

In 1943, he decided to join his brother at HIA and

Chronic infection in your mouth can enter the blood stream and travel to other parts of the body. Moreover, oral bacteria can create a heightened inflammation status throughout the entire body far from your mouth. This increased inflammation can lead to small ruptures in the blood vessel lining (endothelium) where lipid plaque has accumulated triggering a blood clot to form that can block blood flow to the tissues it supports.

This clotting event when it occurs in the heart and brain is called a heart attack or stroke.

Chronic gum infection is the most prevalent chronic infection in America today. With more than 65% of the individuals over 40 years of age have some form of early, moderate or severe active infection. That could be half the people you see daily have a form of this silent potentially deadly infection.

Besides chronic gum infection., teeth that have been damaged significantly by tooth decay can host infection to the blood stream via an infected dental pulp to the surrounding bone. Even failing root canals and cracked teeth when they no longer hurt can be silent, just like gum disease, they can be active sources for bacteria to enter the blood stream. Chronic gum infection and damaged infected teeth are a root cause of increased systemic inflammation and inflammation in the arteries. Recent clinical research has demonstrated a causal link between oral disease and heart disease and stroke as well as other inflammation mediated systemic diseases.

TALKS WITH

DR. BROCK

TUESDAY APRIL 18TH, 6:00 PM

COME AND BE A PART OF OUR INFORMATIVE PRESENTATION AND DISCUSSION ON: 1. Find out how you can know if you have silent infection in your mouth and what you can do to arrest it. It's not complicated, but it is important that you know and take action to stop it.

2. What are the best options available to arrest oral infection sources?

3. See the world of microbes and how they travel silently in your body. Know what your body does when this happens 4. Learn how to know when oral infection is arrested and oral health is reestablished.

5. Things about your oral health that your MD needs to know to keep you healthy.

6. What your dentist needs to know from your MD to best collaborate in reducing systemic inflammation - a root cause of heart attacks, strokes, and diabetes.

7. Plan not to have a heart attack or stroke by arming yourself with current research evidence of the major role inflammation plays in making those acute events happen. We are fortunate to have advanced medical care to help survive and recover from coronary heart attacks with stents and bypass procedures, and clot busting emergency intervention to minimize the effect of a stroke. But, who wants to experience the pain and expense and life disruption of a heart attack or stroke? No one, so make a better plan, prevention is truly the best medicine. Invest in health and wellness care or yourself and those you love. It's a better way into your future.

Harrington Insurance

From page A-9

T.R.’s sister Minnie “Minno” Harrington Johnson (1900-1965) also contributes to the story since her son, Robert “Bob” Johnson, joined the firm just after his time in the U.S. Army and his four years at the University of Tennessee. His uncles, T.R. and Joe, had asked him to join the firm and he did so in 1952. In 1964, Bob decided to found his own agency in Halls, and Bob Johnson Insurance Agency was formed.

Like HIA, it has grown considerably, and Bob’s two sons, Doug and Ben, now manage the firm since Bob retired in 1995.

T.R. and Joe Harrington moved their business to historic Church Street in 1958, and HIA would choose locations with historic significance from that date forward. Their address would remain 511 Church for almost 20 years. They were near the location of Ross’ Flats, Christenberry Infirmary, Knoxville Optical Supply Co., Mann’s Mortuary, the Christian Science Reading Room and other historic businesses.

The partnership was fractured on Dec. 7, 1960, when at 58, Joseph V. Harrington died of a heart seizure.

He, John I. Copeland, Roy Acuff, Buddy Kirby and others were avid fox hunters, and Joe had just gone out to feed his hunting dogs when the seizure occurred. He had been a member of the Fidelity Bible Class at Fountain City Methodist Church, a member of Bright Hope Lodge #557 and a longtime contributor to high school athletics and other local causes.

T.R.’s son, T.R. “Tom” Harrington III (CHS), joined the firm in 1961 after he graduated from East Tennessee State University in Business Administration.

Tom took a special interest in accident claims and became expert in their settlement.

Only one year later, another son, Charles A. Harrington, graduated from the University of Tennessee, majoring in Insurance, and joined them.

He took a course in Boston in 1965 and was awarded his CPCU (Chartered Property Casualty Underwriter) and provided HIA expertise in another facet of the general insurance industry. He later became president of the Great Smoky Mountain chapter of CPCU. In 1978, the company moved to 603 N. Broadway near the historic site of the Central Market (now Emory Place) and the downtown terminal for the Fountain Head Railway (1890-1905).

The block was also home to Edelen’s Furniture and Storage and Harb’s Carpets.

T.R. Harrington Jr. passed away at 68 on Oct. 12, 1980. He was a lifelong member of Fountain City Methodist Church, a member of Bright Hope Lodge and the Northside Kiwanis Club and the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers. He had fulfilled his lifelong ambition when he served as a locomotive engineer before and during World War II when railroads were so important to the war effort.

In 1994, HIA was able to return to its family roots in Fountain City when it moved to 4883 N. Broadway in the Hill’s Shopping Center. The company moved to another historic site at 3209 Garden Drive where it built its own building just a few hundred yards from Savage Garden in 2009. It remains there today.

Bobby Todd between Bobby Todd and the new building owner will be seamless, with the new owner planning to open in October.

The transformation from UPSTAIRS to Bobby Todd will mean almost every item at Bobby Todd will be greatly reduced, said Richesin.

“This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for our customers to take advantage of incredible savings,” he said.

Fixtures, store decorations and inventory will be offered at greatly reduced prices.

Bobby and Todd are really excited about this new start. “It is giving us a chance to focus on our core values again, and how we really want our customers to experience our own personal style,” said Brown.

Bobby and Todd have a gift of blending seamlessly and effortlessly the new with the old. Their lifestyle brand encompasses not only the actual furniture pieces, art, and accessories, but also things like scent, sound, and holiday décor that really make the difference between a house and a home.

“Home is incredibly impor-

From page A-1 tant to both of us. It is where we relax, recharge, and ultimately find inspiration.

We want our customers to find that same inspiration in their own homes,” said Richesin. Bringing Bobby Todd to Knoxville, in the most prominent and convenient of locations, is a great way to reach more people and make a bigger impact on customers’ lives.

The move is also consistent with current retail models. “Consumers want more unique items. Gone are the days of cookie cutter interiors. Focusing on vintage, one-of-a-kind, and antique pieces in our Knoxville location will reinforce our unique brand,” said Richesin. “There is a tremendous interest in customers wanting to express themselves through their homes, just as they do through their clothing and appearance. Our products will be tailored to this spirit of individuality. Bobby Todd in Knoxville will be the only place to get these unique pieces,” said Brown.

last words

The color of money: Emerald It’s budget time in Knox County, and the school system is first up to bat, which is the way it should be, because that’s where the biggest chunk of money goes.

Last week, Knox County Schools presented its preliminary recommended budget, which is set to be approved by the school board Wednesday. Then it will be handed off to be blessed by County Commission.

The $3.8 million that will be carved out and channeled to Emerald Academy is a relatively small chunk of the $471 million total, and it’s not “new” news that Knox County’s first – and

Betty Bean to date, only – public charter school will consume an ever-growing portion of school funding as it builds its student body over a fiveyear period (in 2015, its first year, Emerald Academy offered kindergarten and first grade. Second and sixth grades were added this year, third and seventh-graders to come next year).

Some educators and board members are trou-

bled because the taxpayerfunded portion of Emerald Academy’s budget (it also gets private donations and a substantial contribution from the United Way) is coming at the expense of the center city elementary schools that serve the county’s lowest-income students, which is what charter school opponents predicted from the get-go.

That’s because state law says the money follows the student. This means that elementary schools like Sarah Moore Greene, Lonsdale, Inskip and Christenberry will lose $7,657.02 for each student who transfers to

Emerald Academy.

“My biggest concern is that when we think about the number of students, it doesn’t look like a great number or a significant amount of money,” said school board member Jennifer Owen. “But when you look at 10 kids coming from one elementary school, that really is a significant amount of money to take away from that one school that’s left behind. They still have the same fixed costs – maintenance, utilities, etc., and although legislators say they don’t have the same costs because they have to buy fewer textbooks,

or whatever, when a school loses $70,000, that’s a significant shortfall.”

Several of these schools are in Owen’s district, and she is particularly concerned about Christenberry, 93.6 percent of whose families live below the poverty line, and which will be losing 10 to 12 students to Emerald Academy. Compounding the financial hit and loss of involved parents is a relatively high number of undocumented students who don’t get counted in the formula that determines the distribution of federal funds.

Emerald Charter Schools’

public information officer John Crooks doesn’t believe these worries are well founded.

“Scholars come to Emerald Academy from neighborhoods across the city, which would seem to minimize the impact on any one particular traditional public school as the dollars follow the child. For 2017-2018, we are in the budget development process and have not been provided with a funding estimate from the state or Knox County Schools yet, so we can’t speak to what that amount will be until we receive that information,” Crooks said.

Three women on list for federal judgeship Federal magistrate judge Clifford Shirley is not seeking a third term when his term ends in February 2018.

This triggers a search for a new magistrate, which ultimately is decided by the federal judges for the eastern district of Tennessee with Tom Varlan as the Chief Judge. It also includes active senior judges.

Victor Ashe

Under federal law, a magistrate judge merit selection panel has been established to review applicants and submit five names to the judges who will make a final decision. The search committee is chaired by highly respected and hardworking Knoxville attorney Mark Mamantov. It also in-

cludes two non-lawyers as required by law.

While the names of applicants and the deliberations of the panel are not public, three of the applicants I have learned are well-qualified women. They are Bridget Bailey, Heidi Barcus and Debbie Poplin, current clerk of the federal court. Poplin was the first woman to serve as Knoxville’s law director.

Bailey, who is AfricanAmerican, now works for the Department of Justice.

She has also served on the staff of U.S. Sen. Lamar Alexander. Much of her family lives in Knoxville. Interestingly enough, both Bailey and Barcus have worked at different times (no longer) at the Lewis Thomason law firm here in Knoxville formerly known as Lewis King and Krieg.

It is an eight-year term.

The deadline for applications has passed. There are many more applicants than the three listed here.

■■ Former state Rep. Robert Booker, the first AfricanA merican elec ted from Knox County to the Tennessee House of Repres e nt a t i v e s after ReBooker construction, turns 82 on Friday, April 14. He is a regular columnist for the Knoxville News Sentinel and an authority on African-American history in Knox County.

Former deputy mayor for Madeline Rogero (and potential 2019 mayoral candidate) Eddie Mannis celebrates his 58th birthday the same day.

Booker also served as an administrative assistant to the late Mayor Kyle Testerman and on City Council, filling out the unexpired term of then Vice Mayor Mark Brown, who had re-

signed. Mannis is a wellknown businessman and strong supporter of veterans.

His wife practices law with him.

He says Palmer “has done a really good job” as a council member. He wants to ensure a strong law enforcement presence as well as treatment for drug offenders. His law practice focuses on child welfare. He is 37, which would make him the youngest member of council if elected. Also running

Next ‘Ed & Bob Night Out in Knox County’ is April 20 Knox County At-Large Commissioners Ed Brantley and Bob Thomas will host their next Ed & Bob Night Out in Knox County 5-7 p.m. Thursday, April 20, at Chandler’s Deli, 3101 Magnolia Ave. They plan to meet with the people of east Knox County and listen to their concerns. Ed and Bob feel that going out to the citizens eases the strain on those who, because of work, commitments, financial situation or the distance to the City-County Building, cannot attend regular commission meetings.

All elected officials, media and public are welcome.

This is not a commission meeting, there is no agenda, and there will be no votes taken.

News from Paradigm Wealth Partners

Social Security: Myths vs. facts Dispelling some misperceptions about the program

Provided by Paradigm Wealth Partners Some myths and misperceptions keep circulating about Social Security. These are worth dispelling, as more and more baby boomers are becoming eligible for their retirement benefits.

Myth #1: Social Security will go away before you do. The federal government

has announced that Social Security may become insolvent between 2033 and 2037 if no action is taken – but it is practically a given that Congress will act on the program’s behalf. Social Security provides 40% of the total income of the 40 million Americans receiving retirement benefits.1 Did you know that Social Security has had a surplus each year since 1984? That situation is about to change. By about 2020, the program is projected to face a deficit, which it will tap incoming interest payments to offset. It will only be able to use that tactic until the mid-2030s. The program will not “run dry” or go bankrupt at that point, but by some estimates, its payments to retirees could become about 25% smaller.1

Myth #2: Your Social Security benefits are “your” money. It would be a

fitting reward if your Social Security income represented the return of all the payroll taxes you had paid through the years. Unfortunately, that is not the case. The payroll taxes you paid decades ago funded the Social Security benefits that went to retirees at that time. Your Social Security benefits will be funded by the payroll taxes that a younger generation pays.2

Myth #3: Social Security income is tax-free. In reality, up to 85% of your

Social Security income may be taxed.

Social Security uses a formula to determine the taxable amount, which is as

follows: adjusted gross income + nontaxable interest + one-half of your Social Security benefit = your combined income.

Single filers with combined incomes of $25,000$34,000, and joint filers with combined incomes of $32,000-$44,000, may have as much as 50% of their benefits taxed.

Single filers with combined incomes above $34,000, and joint filers with combined incomes above $44,000, may have up to 85% of their benefits subject to taxation.2

Myth #4: If you have never worked, you will never get Social Security benefits. This is not necessarily true.

Generally speaking, you have to work at least 10 years to become eligible for Social Security income.

That is, you have to spend 10 or more years at jobs in which you pay Social Security taxes; you have to pay into the system to get something back from the system. Unfortunately, caregiving and child-rearing do not qualify you for Social Security.

To get technical about it, you must accumulate 40 “credits” to become eligible for benefits. When you receive $1,260 in earned income, you get one credit. Another $1,260 in earned income brings you another credit, and so forth. You can receive up to four credits per year. Most people will collect their 40 credits in a decade, though others will take longer.1

If you have never worked, or worked for less than 10 years, you could still qualify for Social Security on the earnings record of your spouse, your exspouse, or your late spouse. A widow can choose to collect up to 100% of a deceased spouse’s monthly benefit; a married spouse can collect up to 50% of the other spouse’s monthly benefit.

If you have divorced, you may still file

for Social Security benefits based on your ex-spouse’s earnings record – provided that the marriage lasted 10 years or longer and you have not married again.1 Jonathan P. Bednar II may be reached at 865-251-0808 or JonathanBednar@ParadigmWealthPartners. com. www.ParadigmWealthPartners.com

N ews From Parkwest, west kNoxville’s H ealtHcare leader • treatedwell.com • 374-Park

Parkwest’s care and surgical expertise add up to recovery for soccer-playing math teacher Thanks to modern surgical techniques, high school math teacher Jessica Gibson of Knoxville has drop-kicked a soccer injury to the curb.

Gibson, 32, was playing in an indoor league in November 2016 when she and another player hit the ball at the same time, from opposite sides.

“All the force from hitting the ball went into my leg and shattered the bone,” she said. “I wasn’t kicked or anything liked that, so it must have been the perfect angle.”

She knew at once something was wrong.

“I saw my leg bend in a bad way in the corner of my eye,” she said. “I thought, ‘Oh my gosh, I just broke my leg. No, that didn’t just happen.’ Then it started hurting, and I realized, yeah, that happened.

“It was super sharp pain, and any time my leg would move I could almost feel the bones moving, too. I had on tight socks and a shin guard, which was a good thing.

But it was not pleasant,” she recalled.

Friends called an ambulance, and Gibson asked to be taken to Parkwest Medical Center. “It was my choice,” she said. “I have some friends who had suggested it, and it was also pretty close.”

They took her straight to the emergency department, where hospital staff took Xrays. Gibson had shattered her tibia and fibula in her right leg. The tibia is the front, larger bone, and the fibula is the smaller bone just behind it in the lower leg.

Stabilizing them for the night was very painful. “It hurt so badly they had to knock me out,” she said. “They got me into a room for the night, and then I had surgery the next morning at 7:30 a.m.”

Parkwest Orthopedic Surgeon Ryan Dabbs, MD, performed the surgery, which involved installing a small rod, a plate, and five screws to stabilize the bones in Gibson’s leg.

“Any person can break both bones in their lower leg with the right force, usu-

ally a direct impact or twist. When playing sports competitively, an athlete is at risk for both of these,” said Dr. Dabbs.

“The injury becomes more complex when there are several fragments of bone,” he added. “This is what happened to Jessica.

Ryan Dabbs, MD She broke both bones into several fragments, requiring putting the pieces back together like a puzzle.”

Gibson spent two nights in the hospital.

“I was in a lot of pain. The first pain medication wasn’t working, so they were very helpful in trying to find what worked for me. The poor night nurse, I was constantly calling her!” Despite the pain, Gibson added, “I had a great experience at Parkwest. Everybody was super helpful and friendly.”

She stayed off her leg for six weeks, and then used one crutch for four more weeks.

Since then, she has been exercising on her own.

“I’m still not super flexible but it’s getting there,” she said. “I was walking first and then I moved to low-impact exercise, like riding a bike and an elliptical machine.

I ran for the first time last week. I’m just slowly running once or twice a week, and walking and doing lower-impact things.

I’m not quite back to soccer and a contact sport yet,” she said.

Gibson didn’t even miss much work.

She teaches algebra and geometry at West High School.

“My students have been great. The accident happened just before Thanksgiving break, and then I did half-days until Christmas vacation. The kids have been very understanding.”

West High School teacher Jessica Gibson is back on her feet after shattering her right tibia and fibula just before Thanksgiving.

Gibson said she would recommend Parkwest Medical Center to anyone facing a similar surgery.

“If you have to go through that kind of experience, I couldn’t have asked for a better place to be,” Gibson said. “I would totally recommend it to anybody. Not

breaking your leg, of course, but going to Parkwest! Everyone was very helpful and kind to me.”

Surgical services at Parkwest Whether your surgery is elective or required, Parkwest has a wide variety of specialties to meet your needs.

“It is a pleasure to work with welltrained, caring staff in the Parkwest operating suites,” said Tracy Pesut, MD, Parkwest orthopedic surgeon. “The staff takes extra steps to make sure our patients receive excellent care and have the best outTracy Pesut, MD comes possible.”

The following surgical service lines are available at Parkwest.

Cardiovascular Surgery: Parkwest is home to a state-of-the-art hybrid operating room for patients who are having issues with their hearts and lungs. In addition to offering traditional open heart procedures, the combination of up-to-date, innovative technology and Parkwest’s experienced heart team allows high-risk patients the opportunity to have Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) in-

stead of open heart surgery. Thoracic aortic aneurysm repairs and endovascular abdominal aneurysm repairs can also be performed, which allow for better blood flow to the extremities.

Open advanced cardiovascular procedures include aortic root replacement, ascending aortic aneurysm repair and aortic arch repair.

Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT): When a patient has ear, nose or throat problems that are not resolved by lesser invasive alternatives, ENT surgery may be necessary. Parkwest physicians perform ENT surgeries for both children and adults, including tonsillectomy, ear and sinus surgery, and balloon sinuplasty.

General Surgery: To reduce recovery time and level of pain, Parkwest offers minimally invasive laparoscopic surgeries for general surgeries including hernia repairs, gallbladder removal and hiatal hernia repair. Patients are able to return to normal routines sooner and with less pain. Other general surgeries include appendix removal, colon surgeries and breast surgeries.

Gynecology: For women who are experiencing pain in their reproduc-

tive organs or bladder incontinence, Parkwest provides gynecological and oncology services, including minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery and robotic surgery using the DaVinci Robot. Gynecological surgeries include hysterectomies, diagnostic laparoscopies and vaginal repair.

Neurosurgery: Parkwest’s dedicated team works with five neurosurgeons trained on the BrainLab system for spinal and cranial surgeries. The BrainLab system is especially useful in precisely pinpointing the location of a tumor during brain biopsies, which allows physicians to obtain more accurate tissue samples. The system also reduces radiation exposure, shortens operating time and is minimally invasive.

Orthopedics: Patients experiencing joint pain, foot problems or chronic issues may benefit from Parkwest’s elite orthopedics program, which ranks among the highest orthopedic volume generators in the state.

The orthopedic surgeons at Parkwest perform more than 1,800 total joint replacements each year. Parkwest is home to The Retreat, a total joint replacement center, which provides physical therapy immediately follow-

ing a short surgical recovery period.

Physical therapists work with patients to practice how to climb stairs, get in a car and move comfortably again. Orthopedic surgeries that are common at Parkwest include replacements, spinal procedures, a wide variety of podiatry procedures, fracture repair and knee arthroscopy.

Plastic Surgery: Parkwest offers reconstructive and elective plastic surgeries.

Urology: For patients with issues of the urinary tract, Parkwest’s urology service line offers a wide variety of treatments for issues including kidney stones, bladder tumors and bladder repair.

To prepare for non-emergency surgery, every patient is scheduled for a Pre-Admission Testing (PAT) appointment. Patients and families are encouraged to ask any questions and voice concerns at this time.

“Our priority is patient care and providing the best possible outcomes for every procedure, every time,” said Jeanie Brown, RN, surgery nurse manager.
