Hardin Valley hosts Two Blues For kids whose idea of summer fun involves more biology than biking and more science than swimming, Two Blues STEM Camp seems to be just the ticket to fun and fascination. The annual summer camp, a collaboration between Hardin Valley Academy and Farragut High School, drew a recordbreaking 90 kids from second through seventh grade for a week of super-fun hands-on experiments geared toward keeping kids’ minds sharp and awaking their inner scientist.

Remembering Carpenter School By Sara Barrett About 70 years before the Karns community was founded, a small wooden schoolhouse was erected near the current intersection of Carpenter and Emory roads. Chris Hammond, health science teacher at Central High Hammond School and local historian in his spare time, has researched the schoolhouse and compiled a seven-page document on the little building known as Carpenter School. “I’ve always been curious about local history, especially the Treeville area,� says Hammond. “I grew up on Cate Road, which was part of that community. When driving on the different roads, I’d often wonder how they got their names and what the areas looked like 100 to 200 years ago. “Not much is known about the first schoolhouse building, although the surviving photographs suggest that it was a wooden slab structure with two large rooms, a small covered porch, and a belfry with a school bell. It was most likely heated with a pot-bellied stove in the winter and had an outhouse for a restroom – common features of early 20th-century schools.� The land was deeded in 1889, and a one-story brick building replaced the first structure in 1931.

Photo courtesy of McClung Digital Collection Although no one is certain for whom the school was named, public records show a D. Carpenter owned a large tract of land near present-day Yount Road. Hammond also discovered information about a Major Daniel A. Carpenter who served in the Union Army during the Civil War and lived in the area when

the school was built, and a Daniel A. Carpenter in the history of the Beaver Ridge Masonic Lodge originally located two miles from the school. Although it is believed these two Daniel A. Carpenters are one and the same, Hammond says it is merely speculation that a school would be named in his honor, giv-

en his elevated status within the community. A handful of longtime Karnsarea residents and onetime Carpenter School students shared with Hammond what they remember of their time in the two-room school building. To page A-3

Paul Y. Anderson: Award-winning reporter By Kelly Norrell

The best?

A man who may have learned relentless honesty at his South Knoxville Baptist church is credited, 78 years after his death, with shaping the face of American investigative journalism. Paul Y. Anderson, who attended Central High School but never finished, left Knoxville at 19 in 1913 for the newspapers of St. Louis. He cut a shining arc for about 21 years on the national journalism scene, netting a Pulitzer Prize in journal-

ism in 1929 for his stories in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch on the Teapot Dome scandal. His reporting on bribery of government officials and misuse of public funds resulted in the jailing of Secretary of Interior Albert Fall and oil magnate Harry Sinclair, among others. But dark forces of alcoholism, despondency and perhaps his childhood hardships halted Anderson’s life. In 1938, after three marriages and the loss of his job at the Post-Dispatch because of er-

ratic behavior, he died by suicide at 45 in Washington, D.C. Today, his remains lie in a family plot in the graveyard at Island Home Baptist Church, where he was probably baptized. He is surrounded by the graves of his parents, five siblings and other forebears. At his pinnacle, Anderson was the highest-paid journalist in Washington, said Terry Ganey, former investigative reporter for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and author of articles about Anderson for the

Gateway Journalism Review. He is gathering material for a book on Anderson. Early in his career, Anderson earned a reputation for raw courage and honesty in reporting stories like the East St. Louis race riots of 1917, the murder trial of Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb in Chicago in 1924, and the Scopes “Monkey Trial� in Dayton, Tenn., To page A-3

R.B. Morris and the long road home By Betty Bean Despite a lifelong case of wanderlust, R.B. Morris has a tight connection to his hometown. He has sung about it, analyzed it, helped found a park in it, celebrated and fled it. But no matter how far he flies, he always comes back, and he’s probably halfway serious when he calls Knoxville “the Bermuda Triangle of the Appalachians.� Family, friends and an innate sense of place create bonds that stretch but never break. If anyone was surprised when Mayor Madeline Rogero and the Arts & Culture Alliance named Morris Knoxville’s first poet laureate, nobody has said so. Maybe Rogero’s quoting a verse from “Then There Is a City� (a song from his album “Spies Lies and Burning Eyes�) in her inaugural address was a hint. As photographer Bill Foster put it, Morris’ selection was “the most obvious slam-dunk decision in the history of obviousness.� Richard Bruce Morris is a poet,

a playwright, a singer and a sometime actor who wrote his first song (about his dog, Dixie) when he was in the fourth or fifth grade at Alice Bell Elementary School. He graduated from Holston High School and spent a year at the University of Tennessee before his itchy feet took him away. “I just bailed for the high and wide,� he said. “I took off traveling around the country, wanting to get an advanced education.� It’s hard to keep up with his youthful ramblings, but one of his first artistic partnerships was with Jimmy Rector (son of famed mandolin player Red Rector). They started playing old-timey music up in the hills of Cocke County. After a while, he came back to town and joined a burgeoning music scene where musicians, singers and songwriters were honing their licks and finding their identities. Bands called Shaky Little Finger, See Rock City, Bull Rooker, Ears and the Lonesome Coyotes were

He abandoned all of that, temporarily, when a breakup with a girlfriend drove him to the mountains in January 1980 to “a little old half-built cabin with no running water, a wood stove, a bed and my old man’s manual typewriter. I was kinda flushing myself out of everything – ended relationships with girlfriends and close friends – stopping the world as best I could. That’s when I did my hermit year, living up on Round Mountain up an old gravel road. I was probably the last man in Tennessee.� When he came down from the mountain, he headed west and spent spring 1981 in San Francisco, meeting Beat Generation survivors like Gerald Corso, Lawrence Ferlinghetti and William Burroughs, plus Jack Kerouac biographer Gerald Nicosia, with whom he corresponded after he returned to Knoxville, determined to create something of his To page A-3

Farragut moms are ‘in for the flip’ By Carolyn Evans Farragut friends Sandy Presley and Janet Massie met when they lived on the same street in Village Green subdivision. Today, between them, they have six grown children. Now the two friends are knocking down walls, hiring plumbers and contractors and venturing into the world of flipping houses. “We tackled many projects over the years, beginning with putting a fountain in my front yard,” says Presley. “I’ve always wanted to flip houses and finally decided we had better try it after transforming my house way too many times.” They looked at several possibilities and tried to buy two, but the deals fell through. Then they heard about one through the grapevine, looked at it before it hit the market and made an offer. They took it. “This little two-bedroom, one-bath house seemed manageable for us to start on,” says Presley. The house is in Inskip and is “a mid-century modern, going back to the look

of the 1950s,” says Presley. They closed on a Thursday afternoon and were prepared to get started the next morning. Massie would be in charge of construction, since she had become familiar with tools in her furniture-repurposing business. She had already lined up a licensed electrician, plumber and general handyman, and everyone showed up bright and early. Everything came to a stop a couple of hours later. The friends found out that the house was in the city limits, and their contractors were only licensed through the county. Back to square one. The beginning has been the only drama to date, says Massie, because they were able to find the right people. “I interviewed three or four a day at the beginning,” she says. “My plumber, Dennis Ottinger, and my general contractor, Mike Reynolds, have been lifesavers. I could not have pulled this off if I hadn’t had the right contractors.” The women have made just “decorating chang-

They are now working on resurfacing the old wooden cabinets and will bring in a reconditioned sink and new countertops. Presley’s leadership duty is making decorating and painting decisions and buying hardware such as light fi xtures. Both are hands-on workers. “It works out well,” Massie says. “We each are happy

A couple of demos didn’t work out quite right, but I think it’s good for students to see that and understand that your experiments may not work out the first time. You have to go back and make adjustments, then try again. “These are experiences the kids will probably never

forget. “That’s what experiments are, trial and error ‌ and problem solving. Will it work? That’s an exciting question, isn’t it?â€?

He’ll be taking on other projects in his role as poet laureate, as well. Knoxville inspires him. “There’s something poetic about this place – the rivers, the mountains, the unfulfilled promise – I’ve ventured out into the world but always come trailing back.

Morris began to be published internationally and hit the road with guitarist Hector Qirko. He participated in a seminal writers conference on Kerouac in Colorado and made trips to New York and Quebec to meet with writers he’d gotten to know along the way. In the ’90s, he started

commuting to Nashville and signed a contract and made an album with John Prine’s Oh Boy Records. The title single from “Take That Ride� (named for the road to Nashville taken by so many Knoxville-area musicians) made prestigious lists of top 10 releases of 1997. He also recorded for a New York label, Koch, and the resulting album, “Zeke & the Wheel,� was nominated for an Americana Award. He had poems choreographed for modern dance and wrote (and played the leading role in) the first iteration of a play about James Agee, “The Man Who Lives Here Is Loony.� He was UT’s writer in residence 2004-2008 and in 2009 was inducted into the East Tennessee Writers Hall of Fame.

Stu Aberdeen story lives again The last time I visited Wolfville, Nova Scotia, was 1976, on the way home from the Montreal Olympics. I went to Acadia University to see the basketball trophies and treasures coach Stu Aberdeen had accumulated. The Canadians thought I was big-time. They received me graciously, but the first two I asked didn’t recognize the Aberdeen name. When I found the administrator who knew whom and what I was talking about, he seemed embarrassed to say there were no statues or monuments carved in stone. There were some leftover plaques and a few pictures, but he didn’t know where they were. Maybe in a closet. His explanation: “He has

Survey seeks help on East Knox business development By Sandra Clark Nick Della Volpe has created a survey to gain public opinion on ways to improve the business community in North/East Knoxville.

He says: “The survey results will help us plan the upcoming economic roundtable or summit to be held this Della Volpe fall.

much as Acadia had. Tennessee celebrated the Ernie and Bernie show without a second thought of how those New York prep stars got to Knoxville to become all-time greats. The recruitment of Ernie Grunfeld and Bernard King was a legendary accomplishment. Work and more work were the key words. Tireless determination was relevant. In one case, the brilliant interpretation of a coffee stain on the great book of high school transcripts proved pivotal. I never believed Aberdeen cheated. I always thought the simple explanation for the two miracles was his refusal to go away. The second stay created a crisis for Bob Woodruff, Tennessee athletic director. Stu handed in an expense account almost two months late. Normally, Bob looked

at numbers and entered a period of meditation. This time there was a loud exclamation: “Fifty-two consecutive days in New York City!� It was not a question. Mears had signed off on Stu’s expenses and had initialed beginning and end dates. Ray called it tenacious recruiting coupled with frugality. When Stu ran out of money, he had moved in with friends and borrowed a car. “Tenacious� and “frugality� were not common in Woodruff’s vocabulary. He repeated them carefully. Mears just stood there, awaiting an explosion. It never came. Later, there was an earthquake. Not yet aware of King’s terrific talent, what a great thing Aberdeen had done, Woodruff reduced the basketball recruiting bud-

get for the next year so there would be no more months in New York. After Aberdeen’s death (heart attack, June 11, 1979), Acadia staged a fourteam holiday tournament in his memory. It did not flourish. Acadia tried it as a preseason project. It eventually expired. I called from time to time to ask about it. I was told it might be coming back. It is. The Stu Aberdeen Memorial Basketball Tournament will be Sept. 30-Oct. 2, hopefully before the first snow. Inspiration and motivation was a large donation from a former player to launch arena renovation. Acadia will name the playing floor in Stu’s memory. Several Aberdeens will participate in the ceremony. Thought you’d like to know. Marvin West invites reader reaction. His address is westwest6@netzero.com

I’m not a feminist, but ‌ Times were tough when Patricia Head came to Knoxville in 1974 to teach physical education, train for the 1976 Olympics and work on her master’s degree at the University of Tennessee. At just 22, she was asked to coach the women’s basketball team – a job she left 38 years later when driven to retirement by early-onset Alzheimer’s. She never had a losing season and won eight national championships. Even more remarkable was her personal transformation from Trish Head to Pat Summitt. But think back to 1974.

body had heard of a personal computer. With oil prices soaring and a global recession underway, politicians were wrestling with fallout from the previous year’s Roe v. Wade decision. Gerald Ford kept tripping over things, including his pardon of Richard Nixon and his amnesty for draft dodgers. In this context, Patricia Head earned $250 per month ‌ and she had to drive the team van and wash the uniforms. Until Dave Hart dismantled it, Pat and her ADs, Nancy Lay, Gloria Ray and

Joan Cronan, built an organizational juggernaut. Not only did Pat assemble outstanding players and assistant coaches, but she also put together a team of trainers and managers, and public-relations and fundraising whizzes. And, most remarkably, these women achieved great things, but they were not feminists. If you don’t believe that, all you had to do was ask. A friend’s daughter went to one of Pat’s camps at age 12. This was a camp for kids who would never make the high school team, much less play in college. Yet the kid came home glowing after each session. Pat motivated these girls to believe in their ability to set goals and reach them through hard work. Pat told them they might not be the most talented player on the

court, but they could be the most competitive. She told players when their shots weren’t falling to double down on defense and rebounding. She left a legacy of excellence that inspires each of us. And that’s why a dusty orange gloom has settled over Knoxville during the past weeks. Pat is gone.

‘Building capacity,’ says Barber Chris Barber looks even younger than his 26 years. Let’s see what he looks like in November after spending most of the year managing Knox County Democratic candidates’ campaigns. Barber got his degree in political science from the Un iver sit y of Tennessee in 2013, is from the Middle Tennessee town of Waverly and came here in 2008 to go Chris Barber to school. His mom came with him – he says they wanted a change from the 40-acre farm where he’d grown up – and now she has a job as a computer engineer in Oak Ridge. Barber loves Knoxville and is proud of the ways it has changed since he’s been here. “I planned to leave when I graduated, but now it’s

Betty Bean home,� he said. For now, he’s focusing on three County Commission races – District 1, 2 and 4 – where Evelyn Gill, Laura Kildare and Marleen Davis are facing off against Republican opponents. After that, he’ll move to the 13th District state House race where Gloria Johnson is trying to win back the seat she lost in 2014 to Republican Eddie Smith. The Knox County Democratic Party and the Tennessee Democratic Party are going halfsies on Barber’s $3,200 per month salary. His staff consists of four interns and a cadre of volunteers. Barber worked as a bartender or server at several downtown eateries for a

couple of years, and then he traveled to Alaska, where he spent a month and all his money. He was working for a lawn-care service when Knox County Democratic Party chair Cameron Brooks offered him a job helping Marleen Davis. He jumped at the chance to work in his preferred field for a highly qualified candidate (Davis is a former dean of UT’s College of Architecture). He says one of his biggest challenges has been learning to deal with “the politics within the politics.� He’s working full-time and then some, and he ends his days with a conference call to Nashville to report the number of doors he’s hit. He says his mission is to build a stronger base for his party, and he believes that boosting awareness of local races – or “building capacity� – will serve Democrats well in the future. He’s frustrated by the

tendency to treat local races as popularity contests instead of opportunities to examine the qualifications of competing candidates and firmly believes that his side would win that comparison. An idealist who sports a Remote Area Medical bracelet among a rainbow of other arm wear, Barber is a Bernie Sanders suppor ter (but not a Bernie-or-Bust guy), and he attributes the age divide among Democrats to the changing times. “I didn’t grow up during the Cold War, so I don’t fear socialism,� he said. “But I’ve seen what unbridled capitalism does. In my view, (the lack of) economic opportunity is the driving issue.� He’s working to get Sanders voters motivated to turn out in August, when Sanders won’t be on the ballot. This could be crucial in the first and second districts. “I frame it as a matter of responsibility,� Barber said.

UT Trustees should rethink pay policy State Rep. Roger Kane, longtime champion of the Lady Vols, says that “restoring the name of the Lady Vols to women’s sports at UT would be a wonderful way to honor the memory of Pat Summitt,� who passed away last week. Kane, along with many others, believes that Athletic Director Dave Hart would never have touched the Lady Vols name had Pat Summitt been able to articulate her views against it prior to the onset of her illness. People will be watching at the July 14 service for Summitt at ThompsonBoling Arena to see if this topic is mentioned and, if so, how. Restoring the Lady Vols name would be a lasting honor for Summitt. ■The four contenders for the Republican nomination for the West Knoxville state House seat now held by Martin Daniel will debate at a forum 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, July 12, sponsored by the League of Women Voters outside District 18 at the East Tennessee History Center, 601 S. Gay St. The public is invited. In addition to Daniel, candidates include James Corcoran, Bryan Dodson and former state Rep. Steve Hall. Hall has distributed several attack pieces on Daniel while Corcoran has promoted his support of Gov. Haslam’s Insure Tennessee proposals. He is the only candidate openly for it. Hall is opposed, while Daniel supports a more costeffective plan. Hall’s recent mailer misspelled Gov. Haslam’s name. Daniel has renewed his

Victor Ashe

backing for open-records access to the public without fees, changing the state education funding formula to assist urban counties like Knox, and funding for Mayor Burchett’s building project for short-term housing of mentally ill offenders. ■Expect the federal indictment of state Rep. Joe Armstrong to go to trial on Aug. 2 as scheduled, just two days prior to the Democratic primary on Aug. 4. The trial should last a week. It does not appear that a settlement or plea bargain is possible, so a jury will decide guilt or innocence. Armstrong is a candidate for re-election. He faces Pete Drew, an independent, in November. No Republican is running. If Armstrong is convicted, he is not barred from seeking another term, but it is unlikely the House would seat a convicted felon, which would force a special election to fill the seat. Retired federal Judge Tom Phillips is presiding over the case. ■My column last week said that former Gov. Phil Bredesen voted on the losing side of the DiPietroNoland contest for UT president in 2010. This was in error as Bredesen was absent from the meeting and did not vote. It is true that the Board of Trustees split 11-10 between the two men.

In 2004, Bredesen had attended the board meeting at which John Petersen was elected over John Peters, and he voted for the losing candidate, Peters, at that time. Petersen was ultimately forced out as president. ■UT Chancellor Jimmy Cheek will return to a tenured faculty position sometime next year. His new salary will be 75 percent of his current salary. This comes out to roughly $330,000 a year as a professor as his current chancellor’s salary is in the $440,000 a year range. UT has a policy that allows any tenured faculty member who moves to an administrative post to return to their prior post at a pay grade that is 75 percent of their administrative salary. This always results in a significantly large bump in pay from their prior tenured pay. ■Provost Susan Martin, who leaves as provost Aug. 1, will receive a generous increase as well as her current salary is $327,000. It will fall back to roughly $246,000 in three weeks. It seems to me that this policy should be reviewed by the Board of Trustees for future situations. The new positions Martin and Cheek are assuming are clearly less stressful and time-consuming than their current positions. A salary more consistent with what other professors in the same field are making, taking into account the individual levels of expertise and the new workload (hours spent teaching or researching), should govern the pay as opposed to an automatic 75

percent of current salary. This is an expensive policy for tax- and tuition-payers. It also happens when a dean or interim president returns to the faculty. ■City Council member Marshall Stair turned 38 on June 30. He is the youngest Knoxville council member. U.S. District Court Judge Tom Varlan turns 60 on July 8, while U.S. Rep. John Duncan turns 69 on July 21, and federal Judge Pam Reeves turns 62 the same day. Happy birthday to all. ■Barbara Kelly, longtime director of CAC and previously top aide to L.T. Ross of CAC, completes 50 years of service to CAC this year. The L.T. Ross Building on Western Avenue is undergoing a major and needed facelift with the leadership of Kelly and active assistance of city director David Brace and city forester Kasey Krouse. ■The sign that never was (namely the one indicating the Knox-Blount greenway along the river) is going up this week, according to an email from city public works director David Brace to council member Nick Pavlis, who represents South Knoxville. While the greenway was formally opened by the mayor in December, the city failed to erect a sign to it for eight months. Only direct intervention from Pavlis got it done. Pavlis is seen as a “go-to person� on the council to get results. Brace is also a very diligent and effective city director who can act while others fail the test.

government Future growth in Knox County

Lessons learned from the transformation of downtown can be applied to the county By Marleen Kay Davis Experts predict that Knox County will experience a 30 percent population increase by 2040. Will we have 30 percent more sprawl? 30 percent more traffic? How Marleen Davis do we plan to address such growth in the next 25 years? Can we retain our existing high quality of life? Decisions we make today will affect our quality of life for decades. We need 21st-century ideas that give us the flexibility to create diverse neighborhoods, vibrant commercial districts, attractive parks and safe streets, while preserving green space. Residents, businesses and investors should be involved in an open process to guide this change. We should overhaul outdated 20th-century approaches to planning and growth, with single-use zoning and an inconsistent “variance� process. For example, we need to have genuine “mixed-use� neighborhood centers with residential and commercial uses in walkable districts. Right now, a building with commercial below and residential above isn’t possible in our zoning codes, except in special districts, such as downtown. Currently, the City Council is considering a mixeduse concept for Bearden Village. This could be a model for future development of compact, walkable neighborhood centers, while preserving traditional residential zones and green spaces. Since 1994, I have been one of many involved in efforts to revitalize downtown. As a result, I know how property owners, businesses and local government can collaborate in a process for positive change. Efforts for change are slow and complex and involve many stakeholders, with much at stake. Silver bullets don’t exist. Decades later, we appreciate the dramatic transformation of the downtown. As a county commissioner, I could apply my collaborative experience

with the downtown in helping the county address future growth, especially in the Fourth District. We should engage concerned stakeholders in a transparent public process to develop new guidelines that provide predictability and flexibility. Some strategies for 21stcentury quality growth that we should consider are: ■Diversify residential choices for young people, families, empty nesters and retirees. (We need many options: single-family homes, condos, apartments, mixed-use residential buildings in walkable neighborhood centers, residential communities with amenities and subdivisions.) ■Develop walkable neighborhood centers, with residential units. Imagine living in an area where you park once at your residence and then walk to stores, restaurants and other amenities. Traffic is reduced. ■Cluster walkable commercial development and preserve green areas, rather than allowing random commercial expansion along roads. ■Provide safe streets, with appropriate widths. ■Increase the numbers of sidewalks and crosswalks, especially at commercial areas and schools. ■Expand the county’s parks and greenways, with connectivity for biking. ■Preserve the scenic character of Knox County’s landscapes. ■Explore imaginative transportation options. ■Consider innovative planning processes, resulting in “overlay districts,� new zoning definitions and other flexible strategies. In my work over the past 20 years with downtown Knoxville, I have seen firsthand how the public and private sectors can work together to guide change. This is a slow process, but it takes imagination, patience and respect for the concerns of all stakeholders to work together to achieve positive change. Marleen Davis is the Democratic candidate for Knox County Commission, District 4. She is an ACSA Distinguished Professor of Architecture at the University of Tennessee. The Republican nominee is Hugh Nystrom.

On hallowed ground On that day, says the Lord of hosts, the peg that was fastened in a secure place will give way; it will be cut down and fall, and the load that was on it will perish, for the Lord has spoken. (Isaiah 22: 25 NRSV)

Catholic Heart Workcamp, the hands and feet of Christ By Nancy Anderson More than 250 youths and young adults from across the nation, some from as far away as Nebraska, recently gathered at All Saints Catholic Church for a week of hard work serving Knoxville’s most vulnerable citizens. The weeklong missions event, now in its ninth year at All Saints Catholic Church, was sponsored by Catholic Heart Workcamp (CHWC), a 13,000-member service ministry serving more than 50 different cities across the nation. Catholic youth groups spend a year raising funds to cover travel and lodging expenses to accept the CHWC challenge of joining local youths to help complete more than 35 projects through partnership with local social agencies such as the CAC Office on Aging and Operation Back Yard. The groups worked four days, six to eight hours per day, in the hot summer sun along with skilled adult Team Builders clearing brush, painting houses, building ramps, cleaning and completing minor home repairs. In the evenings, the kids got to know one another, attended Mass, played music, performed skits and finally bunked down exhausted in sleeping bags and air mattresses filling the gym and

Recently, I was privileged to stand on hallowed ground. We were in Oklahoma City, visiting my daughter Eden. On Sunday, we went to church with her, lunched, then went to the site of the Oklahoma City bombing. I confess that, with all the other horrors that have happened in our country since that day, the memories of that particular event had faded in my mind. But standing there on a beautiful afternoon, in the midst of a large city, the quiet and surprising peacefulness were healing. The scenes came flooding back; my most vivid memory of that day was seeing a firefighter on live television carrying a dead baby in his arms – a casualty from the daycare center – tears on his face, horror in his eyes. The footprint of what had been a large building is now a shallow reflecting pool. Beside it stands a large elm tree that somehow survived the holocaust of the bombing. On the other side of the pool there are concrete chairs that represent the persons who died. Each one has a name engraved on it; they are placed in lines to represent what floor they were on when the building crashed to the ground. Every one of those deaths was a peculiar atrocity: a singular, personal, unnecessary tragedy. My heart aches for the dead, and for the survivors, who carry the scars forever. I am pleased to discover that I do not remember the bomber’s name. I want to remember neither him, nor his name!

classrooms of Knoxville Catholic High School. But the week wasn’t just about service and sacrifice for the kids; on the fifth day, they played. The groups loaded into church vans and buses and headed up the mountain to partake in all the Smokies have to offer – from hiking to rafting to Dollywood. “It’s a life-changing experience for the kids,” said Annie Nassis, Knoxville CHWC manager at All Saints Catholic Church. “The kids work hard with people they don’t know doing tasks they’ve never done before to help people they’ve never met.

“It takes them getting outside of their comfort zone to discover what they really can accomplish. I think they surprise themselves. “I almost feel like the people who are serving have equal or greater benefit than those being served. “The young people are spiritually renewed after Workcamp. They are being Christ’s hands and feet serving those who need a little help. “You know, really, it’s not just the kids. We all gain a new sense of hope, and we all get to experience God’s love in a new way.”

First Farragut UMC welcomes Don Thomas By Carolyn Evans “Grandon” wore his clerical robe as he delivered his inaugural sermon to First Farragut United Methodist Church on Sunday, July 3. The Rev. Don Thomas’ young grandkids were visiting his new church that day, and they took his formal attire in stride. They knew that it wouldn’t be long until they Don Thomas were playing in the yard together. Thomas takes over the role as head pastor at First Farragut, 12733 Kingston Pike, after serving for 10 years as senior pastor at Trinity United Methodist Church in Knoxville. The Holston Conference transfer moves Thomas to First Farragut as former pastor Amy Probst moves to Mafair United Methodist Church in Kingsport. James Raxter, lay leader of the Trinity congregation that Thomas just left, says that Thomas’ “healing spirit” was exactly what the church needed 10 years ago. “Don enabled us to regain our strength

and manage our own successes and failures as a congregation,” says Raxter. “Because we are United Methodists, pastors come and go, but we, the congregation, remain. Without Don’s healing ways and spiritual guidance, we would not be prepared for what God has in store for our future.” Thomas is a Marion, Va., native and says he knew he was called to the ministry as a junior in high school. After graduation he went to Tennessee Wesleyan College as a religious-studies major. At 20, while still a student, he became a modern-day circuitriding preacher in McMinn County. He met his wife, Anna, at college, and they now have two grown children and two grandchildren. In his spare time he enjoys a smorgasbord of activities. “I enjoy photography, and the cultivation of cactuses and succulents, reading and chasing the grandkids around,” he says. “I like being with people, church activities and being involved in community ministries. It was a wonderful, fulfilling ministry at Trinity, and I’m looking forward to more of the same at First Farragut.”

Rotaract clubs want young adults There are seven Rotary clubs in Knox County, and there are three “Rotaract� clubs –Knoxville Community Rotaract Club and UT Rotaract Club, and Pellissippi State Community College is in the process of restarting its Rotaract club. What is Rotaract? It is a Rotary-backed club for young adults age 18-30 that meets twice a month to exchange ideas, network, focus on professional development, work on hands-on projects and, in the spirit of Rotary, make our community and world a better place. While Rotary clubs serve as sponsors, Rotaract clubs decide how to organize and run their clubs and what projects to carry out. Leon Barkley is beginning his second term as president of the Knoxville Community club. The club meets at 5:45 p.m. on the first and third Tuesday of each month at Brixx Pizza near West Town Mall. Barkley is the enterprise resource planning support lead at Radio Systems Corp. The other officers are vice president Cate Bolden, an opera singer and adjunct professor in the voice departments at Leon Barkley Carson-Newman University and Pellissippi State Community College; secretary Rachel Dellinger, director of communications for the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra; and treasurer Jordan Knight, manager of the Bearden branch of US Bank. The club is sponsored by the Rotary Club of Knoxville, and Ed Anderson has served as the liaison to the Rotaract club. Jim Decker, CEO of Medic Blood Servic-

es, will be the adviser for 2016-17. “Right now we have 10 members, and we’re looking for young professionals who want to give back to our community, enjoy professional development programs and do some networking,â€? Barkley said. The club recently partnered with the Bearden Beer Market and raised $1,200 for The Love Kitchen. If you are interested in joining or would like more information about Knoxville Rotaract, contact Barkley at 865-740-1611 or lbarkley@petsafe.net. â–

Parade time

The Rotary Club of Turkey Creek-Sunset didn’t cancel its Fourth of July week meeting. It just moved it from July 5 back a day to July 4 to participate in the 29th annual Town of Farragut Independence Day parade. Club members walked the parade route and passed out hand fans with the club’s name on each and also carried a banner with the Rotary Wheel and Club logo and corkboards naming the various projects the club has worked on and is working on. What a great way to spend the Fourth! â–

Ann Lotspeich

Ann Lotspeich, past president of the Rotary Club of Turkey Creek and one of its founding members, passed away June 21 at her home in Powell. Lotspeich, 59, had recently retired from the human resources department at the Y-12 plant. She also was currently serving as the club’s secretary. Club members at the June 28 meeting celebrated her life and raised $200 to be given to the Rotary International annual fund in her name.

Dropped Head Syndrome Harrison finds hope

Ellen Harrison looked at herself in the bathroom mirror. Her chin was involuntarily hanging down on her chest, and the ravages of breast cancer were still evident. After almost three years of trying to keep a positive attitude about not being able to hold her head up, and three years of searching for answers and help, she had finally reached a complete breaking point. Harrison dissolved into tears, and sobbed. “I can’t stand this anymore,” she thought. “There has to be more to life than this.” Today, sitting comfortably and radiant in her Clinton home, Harrison tells the story of how she survived what now seems like a very long nightmare. The nightmare finally ended after procedures at Parkwest Medical Center last September. Harrison woke up one morning three years ago and, without any warning, found that she couldn’t raise her head. “I thought I’d had a stroke,” Harrison says. There seemed to be no other symptoms, though. Her husband told her it was probably just some sort of crick in her neck, and she went on about her business. Harrison spent the entire day holding her head up with her hand so she could see what was in front of her. And the next day. And the next. It soon became obvious that something was very wrong. Six months of physical therapy and three months under the care of a chiropractor didn’t help. Neither did medication recommended by the friend of a friend who was said to be going through something similar. Harrison saw a neurologist and was given Botox injections, then was referred to a pain clinic.

Ellen Harrison spent nearly three years with her chin on her chest as a result of Dropped Head Syndrome. Looking into each other’s eyes was something Jim and Ellen Harrison once took for granted.

The simple act of looking into a camera lens was something Ellen Harrison couldn’t do before surgical procedures at Parkwest Medical Center. Photos by Jim

Harrison

When she was told she would have to visit a psychologist to be approved for more shots, she refused. “They didn’t discharge me,” Harrison says. “I got up and walked out.” So the search continued as Harrison used one hand to hold her head up, and the other hand to do everything else from shopping and cooking, to bathing. Harrison’s husband, Jim, even took her to Nashville for treatments. Still, there was no solution. “I never was in much pain,” Harrison explains. “I just wanted somebody to tell me what was wrong, and help me get better.” But no one could. Meanwhile,

the emotional pain was starting to overwhelm her. Pushing a grocery cart with one hand while she held her head up with the other, she felt the cold stares of bystanders. Enduring the gawking and mocking hurt much worse than physical pain. “People are so cruel,” she says. “I’d sit in my car and cry.” After finally suffering her break down in front of the bathroom mirror at home, Harrison pulled herself together and visited her family physician, who recommended a consult with Parkwest orthopedic spine surgeon P. Merrill White, MD. Having seen so many doctors and

Surgery for Dropped Head Syndrome Once the ability to hold your head upright disappears, and it’s been determined that it isn’t coming back, surgery is an option that can restore quality of life. In the case of Ellen Harrison, Parkwest spine surgeon P. Merrill White began by finding what position would be best for her head and neck. “If you fi x someone’s head too high, then they can’t see their feet to tie their shoes or even walk,” he explains. “You have to strike a balance between being able to see straight ahead, and being able to see your feet.” X-rays were obtained so Harrison could tell the surgeon what position she was most comfortable in. “We duplicated that position in the operating room,” White says. “We then fused her skull and spine together, using bone grafts.” “A metal plate and screw construct goes from her skull, spans her cervical spine, and hooks into her upper thoracic spine,” White says.

While Harrison can’t hold her head completely erect, it’s in a position where she can both see what’s in front of her, and see enough of the world below her to be safe and function well. She no longer suffers from the social stigma of not being able to look people in the face, and she can accomplish most anything she needs to without using a hand to hold her head up. “Life with a fused head and neck is not perfect by any stretch of the imagination,” White says, “but it’s better than looking at your feet all the time.” Even with some lim- The difference in Harrison’s neck and ited mobility in her neck, head were noticeable immediately after Harrison is thrilled with surgery. the results of surgery because her life is so much better than it was before. “If I had headaches, and tears,” Harknown about it earlier, I would rison says. “Honest to God, I have avoided a lot of heartaches, would do it again, tomorrow.”

therapists already, Harrison knew it couldn’t hurt to try one more. Her husband took her to Knoxville for the appointment, and it was a day that changed everything. Within minutes of obtaining Ellen Harrison’s medical history and seeing her in the examining room, Dr. White knew exactly what was going on. “You’ve got Dropped Head Syndrome,” White said. Jim and Ellen Harrison were a little stunned. Three years of searching, more than 100 injections, the expertise of a wide variety of medical professionals, endless treatments, and then one surgeon in Knoxville was able to do what no one else had. Dr. White had given it a name, and gave the Harrisons hope. “Dropped Head Syndrome is most often a symptom of a degenerative neurologic disease,” White explains. “Often the morbidity of the disease itself is such that we rarely have to deal with it.” Certain muscles are supposed hold the neck and head back so we can see what’s in front of us. White says Dropped Head Syndrome happens when those muscles quit working. Since it’s not something doctors see on a regular basis, it’s not always easy to diagnose. “It’s just not very common.” White says. “I’ve seen patients in the past diagnosed as being mentally ill or even faking illness.” The first time White saw a case of Dropped Head Syndrome was about 25 years ago. Rather than disregard it, he had called neurologist T. Darrell Thomas, MD, for help in identifying it. White says he only sees two or

three cases in his office per year. He takes each one very seriously. “I felt like we’d found somebody who wanted to help me,” Harrison says. “He really wanted to help!” Dr. White sent Harrison to Thomas for confirmation the diagnosis, and to see if anything could be done to help her before surgery would be considered. Necessary tests were performed, and Ellen Harrison was admitted to Parkwest for two surgical procedures. The difference was immediately noticeable when she came out of surgery. She will tell you the recovery wasn’t easy, but it was worth it. No longer does she have to work with only one hand so the other hand can support her head. She can see the world now, and she can literally hold her head high when she goes out in public. There is no more shame and embarrassment over a condition that once rendered her helpless. “And believe me, it’s a wonderful feeling, Harrison says. “She’s as tough as the back wall of a shooting gallery,” her husband quips. He says it’s not unusual for her to stay up until 2 or 3 a.m. baking cakes again, something she loves to do and is well known for in her community. Harrison is determined to spread the word, and to spread the message of hope to others who are struggling for answers. “I want everyone to know about this,” Harrison says. “There is help!” To learn more about spine surgery and other treatments through Parkwest Medical Center, visit treatedwell.com, or call (865) 374-PARK.
