Ground breaking for

Don’t say BOOM!

Say THUNDER! Want a fireworks hit this weekend? Drive up Hwy. 33 to Maynardville’s Wilson Park where PyroShows, formerly of Boomsday fame, will present a 10-minute show synchronized to music from the Sound Machine. Thunder in the Park is set for 5-10 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 3, at Wilson Park., located behind Union County High School. Afternoon events include a huge Cruise-In including the General Lee, music by the Sound Machine and vendors’ row with items to buy or explore from local vendors. Sponsored by the Union County Chamber of Commerce, the event could draw folks from miles away. Admission, parking and even vendor set-up are free. The event is family-friendly with law enforcement officers walking through the crowd. Attendees should bring blankets or lawn chairs. “We’ll be having fun together,” said Leslie Corum, new president of the county chamber and experienced event promoter. Funding comes fully from Union County’s hotel/motel tax, collected from visitors who spend the night at a county campground or marina. It can only be used to promote tourism, said Gary England. “Absolutely no property tax money will be spent on this show.” From 5 to 8:30 p.m. there will be face painting, balloonmaking and mini-cars from Kerbela Shriners. Businesses are donating prizes for bingo from 5-7 under a tent. From 7-9 p.m. there will be a concert by Southern Drift Band. And up at the Cruise-in, the Sound Machine will run from 5-10. The Chamber will be selling commemorative T-shirts and memorabilia. Kelly Mull from Faces Gone Wild will handle face-painting. Look her up, said Corum. She’s good. “We’re not turning anybody down,” said England. “Bring your showcars and trucks and they will be in the show.” – S. Clark

Square dance classes forming at Claxton By Sandra Clark Claxton Country Squares is forming classes in September. Square dancing is good exercise, says Dave Drum, a practicing physician assistant. He and wife Betty recently joined the group. “We are enjoying all of its health benefits and hope to continue dancing for many years to come.” Claxton Country Squares is based at 1069 Edgemoor Road in Claxton. Dances are regularly called by Bob Tonkin or Ralph Scheider. Info: www.claxtoncountrysquares.com Drum says several studies show dancing is a great way to get and stay healthy. “Anywhere from two to five miles are put on our bodies during a (square)

as one of the steps in maintaining good overall health of our entire being – body, mind and spirit.” Why don’t people join? Some think one needs a partner. Others think it’s for the older crowd. Drum disputes both beliefs. He says, only half-jokingly, that you see older folks at square dances because square dancers live longer. Families find it’s something they can do together. And singles are always welcomed because, in square dancing, everyone dances with everyone in the square. “You’ll never encounter a more friendly and positive group of people,” he says. Most class groups form in September, so this is the time to find a class or group and join.

LMU renovates historic building for Legal Aid of ET By Wendy Smith Legal Aid of East Tennessee’s former executive director David Yoder was once told that the organization would never be thought of as “permanent” until it owned its space. Now, after leasing space on Gay Street for over 35 years, Legal Aid will have its own digs on the Lincoln Memorial University Duncan School of Law campus. Technically, it will still have a lease − $1 per year − but the plan is for a long-term partnership that will serve the community and train future lawyers. Yoder was credited with the idea for the move during a leasesigning ceremony held in front of the historic Stair Building last week. The building dates back to

the mid-1800s when it was constructed as part of what’s now the Tennessee School for the Deaf. The campus served as a hospital during the Civil War and was reclaimed by the school after the war ended. The city of Knoxville purchased the property in 1922. The building is named for Fred Stair, who served on the school board from 1931 to 1939 and founded Stair Tech High School at City Hall Park. He also served as Knoxville mayor 1942-43. LMU, with the cooperation of the city and the Old City Hall Knoxville Partnership, will renovate the building. The agreement has been in the works for several years, Yoder says.

Mayor Madeline Rogero pointed out her former office space in the Duncan School of Law, which was the Greater Knoxville Chamber at the time, and said she worked in the Stair Building as a TVA planner. “It’s great to see this wonderful building put back to use.” The partnership is a triple-win because it will benefit underserved residents and law students as well as the community at large through the renovation of a historic property, she said. Judge Gary Wade, dean of the Duncan School of Law, said the move will accommodate law students, who are all required to provide pro bono service. LMU President Jim Dawson

said the university and Legal Aid are both focused on “doing work for those who most need it.” After the signing ceremony, Yoder said the new partnership reminds him of the historic tie between Legal Aid societies and Howard University in Washington, D.C., which has produced many Legal Aid attorneys. LAET has always utilized law students, he said. “It’s some of the best legal training you can get. It’s real legal work with live clients.” The publicly funded law office, which has existed in Knoxville for over 50 years, serves 26 counties. It provides free legal help with civil matters to those who can’t afford to hire an attorney.

Lions break ground on all-inclusive playground It was an exciting day in Karns Thursday, Aug. 25, as more than 50 community members gathered with Knox County and Lions Club dignitaries to break ground on a new, all-inclusive playground at the Karns Lion Club Community Park. Knox County has many parks, each with its own character, but this is the only inclusive park where children will be able to play and socialize together regardless of their physical abilities. When Karns resident

Nancy Anderson Sandra Sacco heard about the all-inclusive playground, she took her 10-year-old son Anthony, who was born with cerebral palsy, out of school to participate in the groundbreaking. Anthony’s good-natured spirit and “I can do it by my-

self� attitude made him an instant celebrity. “There is no holding him back!� said Sandra Sacco. “I couldn’t be more excited and pleased for him not only to have a safe place to play and get all this energy out, but to be able to play alongside able-bodied children will be so good for him. “He loves to go outside and play, but where we live makes it hard for him to do that. Plus, he’ll make friends from all across the ability spectrum, which will

Erica Laning makes a big splash By Margie Hagan Hardin Valley Academy senior Erica Laning brought home the top title in July when she was named the fastest high school swimmer in the nation in the 500-yard freestyle competition. Although she became the Tennessee state champion for both the 200- and 500-yard freestyle in February, she had to wait for the governing body, the National Interscholastic Swim Coaches Association (NISCA), to release the standings before learning she had the best time. Named a double All American swimmer for the past three years, Erica is a standout in and out of the pool. Raised in Knoxville, Erica credits her mother for her early start. “She started taking me to the pool around age 2, and by the time I was 6, I was in a summer league.� From then on there was no stopping Erica. Today she swims for the Hardin Valley team during its season and also trains year-round with Tennessee Aquatics (TNAQ), based at the Allan Jones Intercollegiate Aquatic Center on the University of Tennessee campus. Coach Larry Hough heads the HVA team and works with Erica throughout the year. He is proud of her achievements, saying, “Erica is becoming a great leader and has always been a very hard worker and a tremendous competitor. I am looking forward to her senior year both with HVA and TNAQ.� Being a competitive swimmer demands a lot of sacrifice for both the swimmer and the family. Erica recalls her mom getting up at 3:30 a.m. to drive her to

encourage him to work to develop his abilities.� Kim Higginbotham, director of “Forever His� Bible Day Camp, sponsored by Karns Church of Christ, echoed the sentiment saying, “There is absolutely a need for the children to know and support each other. “Being a special-needs kid can be isolating. This playground will bridge that gap and create a stronger community as a whole, not just among the specialneeds community. “The kids need to be around typical peers, and typical peers need to be around special-needs kids. They won’t ever learn to accept and appreciate the special-needs community if they’re never together socially. “‘Forever His’ will absolutely be using the park. We’re so excited and thankful to have it right here in our community.� The park is scheduled

practice, go to work and then drive her to practice again. It’s a rigorous lifestyle requiring stamina and discipline; a typical weekday starts with practice at 5:30 a.m., then off to school for a full day. In the afternoon it’s back in the pool or working on strength training before heading home to study and sleep. Erica practices on Saturday mornings, too, and gets a break on Sundays to rest and recharge. “You give up a lot to excel,� she says. “You need to find a balance between athletic and academic performance.� Articulate and mature for her age, Erica takes advanced placement classes and finds time for a little fun, too. Reading and writing are hobbies she enjoys, along with hanging out

with her teammates. Staying motivated has never been hard for Erica. “I like competition, and I like to race. I want to prove that I can be the best.� It’s that mental attitude that led to the opportunity to compete at the U.S. Olympic trials in June. Recently recruited by Arizona State University in Tempe, she expects to officially sign with the swim program this fall. She wants to pursue a career in journalism while in college and to keep working to qualify for the Olympic team. As for what advice she would give to young swimmers, Erica says, “It’s very hard at times, but don’t get discouraged. Always keep your biggest goal in mind. Two seconds can be the difference between gold and silver.�

government Gender-based lawsuits not limited to UT It seems that the University of Tennessee Athletic Department is not alone when it comes to treating some women less fairly than men. Over $5.5 million has been paid out by UT to make the lawsuits over Title IX gender violations go away. A few blocks away in the City County Building, it seems that the Metropolitan Planning Commission has been doing similar things to some women on its staff. In fact, Dee Anne Reynolds, who was the chief financial officer before former director Mark Donaldson fired her, filed a lawsuit over an employment retaliation issue from which she is now collecting $800,000. The wrongful termination occurred June 24, 2014, and the lawsuit was filed almost a year later. Reynolds’ action in assisting a female employee, Elizabeth Albertson, was the cause of her firing. Defendant agreed to “allow judgment to be entered in favor of the plaintiff on all issues raised by her in the Third Amended Complaint.� The money to pay this comes from an MPC insurance policy with the Municipal Technical Advisory Service pool in Nashville. This policy had been acquired as management concern with Reynolds was growing in 2014. In fact, it was expressly made retroactive so that this ongoing dispute would be covered if litigation occurred. This writer has learned that Reynolds was fired the same day that the defendant signed the check paying MTAS for the new insurance policy. It is stunning that no MPC member intervened to find out the facts and question the termination of Reynolds, who was doing her job well. Today under a new law, the director answers to Mayors Rogero and Burchett and not MPC. No MPC commissioner, male or female, sought an explanation of the lawsuit at an open meeting. Donaldson simply misled the entire commission and perhaps the two mayors. The new MPC director, Gerald Green, was not there and starts with a clean slate, but he has inherited a legacy of silence. What steps will he, the two mayors and MPC commissioners take to prevent this from occurring again? Steve Wise, MPC attorney, may want to counsel staff

and commissioners on this. Wise insists there is no admission of liability by MPC; however, a casual observer might say there are 800,000 reasons to think otherwise. Reynolds was smart to get local attorney David Burkhalter to represent her. He did an effective job. Local media ignored the filing of the lawsuit in 2015 while plaintiffs against UT received massive coverage. While MPC is not as exciting as sports, the issues are just as serious when it involves one’s professional career. Mayors Burchett and Rogero should take time in the future in their MPC appointments to ask their choices how they feel about these issues and if they will explore/discuss them when raised. What steps is the new MPC leadership taking to avoid these issues in the future? Have commissioners been briefed? Have they even asked about it? The funding from the insurance policy is part of the Tennessee Municipal League, and Knoxville is a dues-paying member. ■Former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine John Herbst will speak at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 8, at the Baker Center as part of the Ashe Lecture Series on issues facing the U.S. in Ukraine, Russia and Eastern Europe as well as NATO. He is now director of the Atlantic Council’s Eurasia center. The talk is open to the public. This writer sponsors these talks for the public. ■It is surprising that local Democrats picked a replacement for Joe Armstrong, Rick Staples, who has his own set of legal issues (civil, not criminal) dealing with child support. A clean break from pending legal issues might have made better political sense. Staples is a cinch to win this time as the GOP failed to field a candidate in the district. Staples is very pleasant. but is often vague on issues. His real challenge will come in the Democratic Primary in 2018 if he has a credible rival like former Mayor Daniel Brown. Former state Rep. Pete Drew is an independent candidate on Nov. 8.

Saying goodbye to Knoxville icons August was brutal in more ways than the heat. Two local icons left us. They had in common a church, abundant singing talent and funeral processions that evoked stately marches of yesteryear. Mary Will Webb Rogers, widow of former Knoxville Mayor Leonard Rogers, passed away on Aug. 1 in hospice in Crossville. Even before her tenure as First Lady of Knoxville, 19651971, she was widely known as an educator, finishing her career with 15 years as a math teacher at Young High School. Born in Bentonville, Ark., “Mary Will� was an exceptional athlete in several sports. She started playing golf at 52 in 1965 and continued until 2010. She also had a beautiful singing voice – to which mourners at her Aug. 6 memorial service could attest. The service included two recordings by Mrs. Rogers: “The Holy City� and “This Is My Prayer.� It isn’t often that the deceased has the opportunity to sing at her own funeral, but the music was a wel-

come and inspired addition. Mrs. Rogers, a longtime South Knoxvillian and a member of First Baptist Church from 1931 to 1982, when she and her husband moved to Fairfield Glade, was not one to demand a fuss. However, the short trek from Berry Funeral Home to Woodlawn Cemetery brought Chapman Highway traffic to a standstill for a time, befitting the beloved centenarian. Many thought of Barbara Christine Dean Christenberry as a sort of first lady of Knoxville. “Chris� and husband Dexter A. Christenberry Sr.’s colonnaded house on Kingston Pike was the setting for many parties, dinners and galas, and she loved cooking for and welcoming guests to the home in which they raised their large family. A registered nurse who

grew up in Smith wood, Mrs. Christenberry was a noted soloist with the Knoxville Women’s Chorus and beyond. She loved gardening and was a past president of the Knoxville Rose Society and local consulting Rosarian for the American Rose Society. She was involved in many civic and charitable groups, but most of all she was active in life as a devoted mother, grandmother and friend. Her sudden passing on Aug. 17 took all who knew her by surprise. A member of First Baptist Church for more than 55 years and a widow for nearly eight, Mrs. Christenberry made it a habit to pay her respects at funerals, and her kindness was repaid at her church service on Aug. 22 and burial on Aug. 23. Although she gave the impression that she would live forever, Mrs. Christenberry had promised her intimates that she would depart this earth in style – in a horse-drawn glass hearse. She kept her word. Last Tuesday afternoon, grieving family and friends placed her coffin into an

It took about half an hour for the procession to reach its destination, and hundreds of drivers were left to wonder what special person was being conveyed in this old-time style. It could honestly be said of both Chris and Mary Will, they don’t make them like they used to.

County campaign offices gear up With the recent opening of the Knox County Trump/ Pence campaign headquarters in Farragut, the county now has local offices for both major party presidential candidates. Hillary for Knoxville headquarters has been open here since the beginning of August. “Former Sheriff Tim Hutchison is the county chair for the Trump campaign,� said Suzanne Dewar, first vice chair of the Knox County Republican Party and headquarters manager. Hutchison was a Trump delegate at the Republican National Convention in July. The office will be supporting down-ballot races and has voter registration forms on site.

Tip the Scale in the Right Direction – Options for Weight Loss

Symptoms of osteoarthritis may vary greatly from person to person: inflammation, pain or stiffness in the joint, and warmth or “creaking” are all common complaints. The prognosis of adults with osteoarthritis depends on which joints are affected and whether or not the symptoms impair day-to-day function. Join us for a discussion about arthritis and about ways to preserve your joint function.

If you are ready to shed some pounds, you are not alone. Approximately 45 million Americans embark on diets each year in the quest for a fitter, slimmer body. If you’ve tried everything to lose weight and nothing seems to work, join us for this free seminar to find out if you are a candidate for weight loss surgery.

Tennessee’s future quarterback The race is on and here comes Quinten up the backstretch. Sheriron is going to the inside. Jarrett is holding back but not for long. Translation: Those adjusted lyrics from “The Race Is On,” made famous by George Jones, say the beginning of this season is a good time to start thinking about the quarterback of next season at Tennessee. To have a potential all-star in Joshua Dobbs as the 2016 established starter is only the beginning of this Butch Jones recruiting success story. To have Quinten Dormady, Sheriron Jones and Jarrett Guarantano lined up behind him amounts to spectacular depth, limited experience, rare talent. In all my years (not quite a hundred), I have not seen such an array before. Since Doug Dickey invented the position in 1964, Tennessee quarterbacks have ranged from barely adequate to all-world. This is called namedropping: Art Galiffa, Charley Fulton, Dewey Warren, Bubba Wyche, Bobby Scott, Jim Maxwell, Condredge Holloway, Randy Wallace, Jimmy Streater, Steve Alatorre, Alan Cockrell. Tony Robinson, Jeff Francis, Sterling Henton, Andy Kelly, Heath Shuler, Peyton Manning, Tee Martin, Casey Clausen, Erik Ainge, Rick Clausen, Jonathan Crompton, Tyler Bray and Justin Worley. That was the easy part, Volunteer starting quarterbacks. Test your memory. Who was in reserve when? Here are clues: Pat Ryan, Nick Stephens, Brent Schaeffer, A.J. Suggs, Joey Mathews, James Banks, etc. Daryl Dickey once stepped up to fill a large void. Matt Simms played a lot one season.

Marvin West

In 1994, super freshmen Manning and Branndon Stewart and junior Todd Helton were behind ill-fated Jerry Colquitt. He was lost in the opener at UCLA. Replacements looked better on the depth chart than in games. Ah yes, I remember the next week. Tennessee tried all three against Florida, beginning with Helton, followed by Manning, followed by Stewart, then Manning again, then Stewart again. It didn’t seem to matter. The Vols went down, 31-0 awful, then the worst home loss in 70 years. Let us hope that Dobbs, unscathed, leads Tennessee to great heights and that the supporting cast is mostly ornamental this year and sensational in the future. I suppose they know the race is on. Dormady is a sophomore who looked like a freshman in brief appearances last year: 13 completions in 22 passes for 209 yards and a touchdown. He supposedly appeared much better in practice. He is 6-4 and 214, strong arm, mobile enough, smart son of a Texas high school coach. As the No. 5 pro-style quarterback in the 2015 recruiting class, he chose Tennessee over Alabama in part because of then-skinny depth. Redshirt freshman Sheriron Jones, 6-2 and 190, nimble and quick, from Perris, Calif., is famous for his January flip-flop. He transferred to Colorado, stayed a few days and trans-

ferred back to Tennessee. His high school coach, Pete Duffy, called it “a kind of temporary insanity.” Colorado cooperated and gave Sheriron an immediate release. Butch Jones cooperated and left the door unlocked and the light on. I am reminded of Coach Jones’ early summation of player Jones: “Sheriron is a pure dual-threat quarterback. He throws the ball extremely well and is very accurate. He can be elusive and make plays with his feet to escape pressure. Sheriron has a quarterback’s mentality with tremendous football instincts and the ability to play at a very high level.” Jarrett Guarantano,

newest Vol, 6-4 and 208, Oradell, N.J., looks more than ready for his introduction to college football. He has great physical tools, strong arm, good speed and a burning desire to win. Jarrett was a big catch. Notre Dame started recruiting him as a seventh-grader. Ohio State really wanted him – to the point of being peeved when he chose the Vols. Trust was decisive. Jarrett’s dad played at Rutgers when Jones was a coach there. Jarrett’s sister Victoria calls him “Uncle Butch.” From a distance, the present and future certainly appear interesting. Let the games begin. The race is on. Marvin West invites reader reaction. His address is westwest6@netzero.com.

Gloria Johnson favored to win

For Republicans, there hasn’t been a lot of good news lately. Hillary Clinton is ahead in the polls. Donald Trump keeps saying dumb things. Gloria Johnson is probably heading back to the Legislature. That’s right. Former one-term, Democratic state representative Gloria Johnson appears likely to defeat Republican Rep. Eddie Smith in the 13th District state house race. Smith hasn’t done a bad job. By most accounts, Smith has done fine work in Nashville, stayed away from scandal, and served well on the House Transportation and Education committees. Unfortunately for Smith, none of that matters. Eddie Smith won’t lose because of any action or inaction in Nashville. Instead, Johnson looks likely to win because of the cyclical nature of voter turnout and other local trends revealed in the Aug. 4 election.

Scott Frith

Johnson was first elected in 2012 in a wave of voters supporting President Obama’s re-election. When Obama wasn’t on the ballot in 2014, Johnson lost. Now, she will again have the benefit of the higher Democratic voter turnout that accompanies a presidential election. But that’s only part of the story. More interesting are the local trends revealed at the precinct level this August. While other commentators have noted that Johnson outpolled Smith in their respective primaries, few seemed to have noticed the spike in Democratic turnout in the 4th and Gill neighborhood and Sequoyah Hills where Democratic county commis-

sion candidates greatly outperformed expectations. In fact, the higher Democratic turnout in 4th and Gill nearly tipped the second district commission race to Laura Kildare. In the fourth district, Republican Hugh Nystrom won handily, but unexpectedly lost Sequoyah Hills to Democrat Marleen Davis. Both precincts are in the Smith/Johnson district. If Gloria Johnson can maintain this same level of Democratic enthusiasm in November, Eddie Smith’s hopes for re-election are in trouble. Of course, there are plenty of reasons why this could be wrong. First, an unexpected surge of Trump voters could help Smith. Second, disillusioned Democrats (particularly former Bernie Sanders supporters) could stay home as a protest against Hillary Clinton. Unexpected things happen in politics. For example, in August many believed

Gloria Johnson Eddie Smith state Rep. Martin Daniel would lose re-election in the 18th district. He had insulted Muhammad Ali on Twitter on the day after Ali’s death. Later, he (allegedly) assaulted a political opponent on a local radio show. What happened? Daniel won easily and confirmed what I have always believed about my good friends in West Knoxville. They field great high school soccer teams and send nutty white guys to Nashville. (Remember Stacey Campfield?) It’s only August. Hang on for an eventful election season!

A song in the night You shall have a song as in the night when a holy festival is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one sets out to the sound of the flute to go to the mountain of the Lord, to the Rock of Israel. (Isaiah 30:29 NRSV) Music and scripture are forever linked in my mind: Much of the scripture I carry in my head is there because I sang it at some point in my life. That tendency to stick in the mind can be a blessing or a curse. There have been times I could sing myself to sleep. However, there also have been times when a tune got stuck: I couldn’t stop singing or humming it. When that happens in the middle of the night, it is not so welcome! One of the fondest memories of my life is from my junior year in college. It was final exam week of fall quarter; I, like everyone else on campus, was tired and stressed. I had given up studying for the night and was drifting off to sleep when I heard singing. I got out of bed and went to my window. There, in the courtyard below, was a group of young men (fraternity boys, no doubt) who had come to sing carols to the girls in my dorm. I can picture (and hear!) that serenade to this day! It was a holy moment, a Christmas blessing, a gift that will never be forgotten, a memory that warms my heart even now. It was, indeed, the keeping of a holy festival, and it did give me gladness of heart. Music can be stirring or soothing, jubilant or sad, Reveille or Taps. Music always sends a message, always sets a tone, and always tells a tale.

Building community through play at West Towne Christian Church By Nancy Anderson Heather Baldy, elementary school ministry director at West Towne Christian Church, 9300 Middlebrook Pike, had her hands full with 26 rambunctious kids ages kindergarten through sixth grade at a Back to School Bash held Friday, Aug. 26., at the church.

They trust me with their kids. They don’t really know me that well, yet they allow

Burchett declares Aug. 26 By Nancy Anderson There wasn’t a dry eye in the house last Friday as Mayor Tim Burchett honored Pfc. Gerald Clark with a surprise proclamation of Aug. 26 as Gerald D. Clark day during a reception held at Sherrill Hills Retirement Resort. Having lost his right leg during WWII in the Battle of the Bulge, Clark was a member of the Military Order of the Purple Heart, which was chartered by Congress Aug. 26, 1958, and is comprised exclusively of military personnel who were wounded during combat. Before being honorably discharged, Clark was hospitalized for more than a year recuperating from his injuries. He is a member of a number of veterans associations and was a tireless advocate for Ben Atchley State Veterans Home. Clark was none the wiser of the true intent of the day until Buzz Buswell, Knox County director of Veterans and Senior Services, called Clark’s service number under the guise of explaining the purpose of military dog tags. Upon hearing his number called, Clark looked around the room with a puzzled expression while hesitantly raising his hand. The room erupted in thunderous applause.

Mayor Tim Burchett presented the formal proclamation to Clark saying, “Gerald gave me a lot of credit for Ben Atchley Veterans Home, but the reality is that it would not have happened without Gerald Clark. “Gerald was constantly in Nashville and talking on the phone to legislators. There is only one reason Ben Atchley Tennessee State Veterans Home is located where it is, and that’s Gerald Clark. “It’s a wonderful facility where my father spent his last days. “Finally, Gerald, I wanted to say thank you … until you get better paid.” Resident and military widow Patsy Lane was also honored as the wife of a Purple Heart recipient. Her husband, Chief Master Sgt. William Lane, was a glider pilot whose plane went down over Holland in 1944. According to Lane, the nose of her husband’s plane was shot off yet he was able to land the plane safely, saving the lives of the 18-member crew. He served 30 years in the Air Force, seeing action in WW II, Korea and Vietnam. When meeting Lane, Burchett said, “What’s that saying? ‘Military wives – often left behind, but never forgotten.’ “I want to thank you for all you’ve done for our country as well.” Info: www.purpleheart.org.

Who are the Oswalds? By Kip Oswald

During the next few weeks, I want you to get to know my family through the schools we attend. Each of us goes to very different types of schools for very different reasons. You got to know Kinzy a couple of weeks ago and why she is going to Paul Kelley Academy. Three of us go to magnet schools because of our unique interests and abilities. My mom has always wanted us to be in a diverse population that is interested in learning about all aspects of STEAM from art to engineering so that we can pursue various career paths. That is what my school and all magnet schools offer their students. This week I want you to get to know me a little better as I go to Vine Magnet Performing Arts and Sciences Middle School. My school offers a science and math integrated visual arts program, computer programming, LEGO Robotics and STEAM integrated lessons in core content classes, and for this science-math guy, it is the perfect school. It also offers modern dance, West African dance and West African drums, which are so much fun to watch even if that is not my talent. There are many things that make my school special.

One of the best things about the school is the staff. Cindy White has been the principal for three years, and she knows all the students and families by name. My mom loves her, and I have heard Mom say that Ms. White is always working to make sure that every student is doing their best. I know that if we ever need anything, she always tries to make sure we have it. She has even worked to have an after-school program to help any of us who need extra help. She also hires the best teachers who truly care about the students. When any of us need help, they make sure we get it. Another great thing for me is that we have standard dress at our school: black jacket and purple color for seventh-graders. It makes it so easy to dress and I don’t ever feel like I don’t have the right clothes since we can’t afford the expensive name brands some could wear. Next week’s article will look at the issue of dress code in schools. Then you will meet Keshawn and Latisha’s school family! Send your comments to oswaldsworldtn@gmail.com.

Pizza, popcorn and movies add fun to Ice Cream Social By Sherri Gardner Howell It’s a combination that is hard to beat: excited children, patient parents, a huge blow-up movie screen with “Toy Story 3” queued up and a smorgasbord of kidfriendly food! Cedar Bluff Parent Teacher Student Association held a “welcome back” Ice Cream Social on Friday night for Cedar Bluff El-

ementary and Middle schools. The cool cafeteria – and the ice cream – provided a welcome relief from the heat outside, and families and kids enjoyed pizza, popcorn, cookies, water, lemonade and ice cream, followed by the showing of “Toy Story 3” on a big blow-up screen. The PTSA also conducted a membership drive at the event. Best buds enjoy the Ice Cream Party at Cedar Bluff: Trey Collins, Willie Martinez, Hayden Collins, Olivia Schippers, Julian Melendy, Jonah Schippers and Josh Martinez. Photos by Sherri

The Ice Cream Party excitement didn’t bother 6-month-old Mark Anthony Douglas Jr., who slept soundly in the arms of his father, Mark Anthony Douglas Sr. The Douglases have a daughter at Cedar Bluff Elementary.

Backpack project grows

Patricia Mayhugh (right) discusses the preservation of green space with MPC planner Jeff Archer at last week’s Southwest County Sector Plan open house. Photo by Wendy Smith

Citizens provide input at sector plan open house By Wendy Smith Knoxville-Knox County Metropolitan Planning Commission planner Jeff Archer was quick to respond when asked what residents are concerned about in the county’s southwest sector. Northshore Drive, he said, even though improvement of the road west of Concord Road isn’t on the Southwest County Sector Long-Range Mobility Plan list of projects, which goes through 2040. Archer was available for questions at the Southwest County Sector Plan open house held last week at Northshore Elementary School. It was the last of several meetings held to gather community input for the plan, which was last updated in 2005. Resident Marc Nemser pointed out that north-south connectors like Canton Hollow Road, Concord Road and McFee Road are either improved or scheduled for improvement, so Northshore, as a major east-west connector, also needs to be improved. The twolane road is especially dangerous at the ballfields near the Cove, he said. “It’s an accident waiting to happen.” The southwest county sector covers the area west of Bearden High

School and south of I-40, excluding the town of Farragut. The Lyons Bend area south of Northshore Drive is also part of the sector, which is the secondfastest-growing in the county, after the northwest sector. Area residents have expressed a desire for more sidewalks and greenways, more neighborhood parks, better zoning and development standards, and no additional commercial development in low-density neighborhoods. Land use recommendations in the draft plan include mixed-use development along Kingston Pike, Parkside Drive and South Peters Road. The area, which is primarily older big-box retail and plazas with abundant parking, could accommodate multi-story mixed-use structures oriented toward the street with parking on the side or behind the buildings. Off-street parking standards to reduce the amount of required parking and a landscaping ordinance that would require parking lots to be screened from residential development are also recommended. A Planned Office zoning district, which could be used as a transition to residential neighborhoods, is another

suggestion. The plan doesn’t create zoning but creates a framework for zoning, Archer said. Much of the sector is considered a bedroom community, and residents are generally happy to drive to access goods and services. But, because of projected growth in the area, MPC staff is trying to identify areas that could accommodate development, like the Peters Road area. For planning to be effective, local government has to “stick to its guns,” he said. Northshore Town Center is an example of planning that was undone by impatience. A true town center takes 20 years to develop, but a shortterm perspective led to the inclusion of big-box retail. MPC Executive Director Gerald Green also attended the open house. The format, which allows residents to have one-on-one discussions with planners, has been popular, he said. To compare the draft land use plan with the existing plan, go to http:// knoxmpc.org/southwestcounty and click on the map icon. The plan is expected to be presented at the Sept. 8 MPC meeting.

Four weeks ago we told you about more than 200 students at two elementary schools receiving new backpacks from four Rotary clubs. Today, we’ll tell you that backpack number has grown by another 420 backpacks for children at these schools: Sarah Moore Greene Magnet Academy, Farragut Primary, Pleasant Ridge Elementary and Ball Camp Elementary. The first 200 came from the EsTodd Galanti sendant Co. Foundation through A&W Supply. David Hammontree, sales manager at A&W Supply, is past president of the Rotary Club of Knoxville Breakfast who is responsible for those backpacks getting to Knoxville. Four Rotary clubs raised $2,500 to pay for the backpacks and the supplies. This second batch of 420 backpacks was donated by Todd Galanti, warehouse manager of Costco and a member of the Rotary Club of Farragut, through Costco’s Charity Backpack program, which has been in place for many years. “Most Costco locations in the U.S. participate, but some don’t and some do on a smaller scale, leaving extra backpacks. So, when I was in Seattle two weeks ago for the International Managers Conference, I asked the PR folks if there were any more backpacks available – and there were,” Galanti said. “We hope we can add to this number for next year.” More than 500 students have new backpacks this fall, thanks to Rotary. Those first 225 were divided between Pond Gap Elementary and Beaumont Magnet Academy. Additional backpacks from the Costco boxes were delivered to Pond Gap and Beaumont and some may go to South Knoxville Elementary. Members of the four Rotary clubs are delivering the backpacks. Assistant District Gov. Jim Holleman of the Rotary Club of Knoxville says we still have 105 backpacks to give out if schools request them. “Schools always have new students coming in, so we have some in reserve that are available for these students,” Holleman said. ■ The Knoxville Breakfast Rotary Club Benefit Show 7:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 7, at the Civic Auditorium will feature the Blackwood Quartet and Ryan Pelton as Elvis.

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

Unrelated health concern leads to cancer detection for West Knox woman A diagnosis of thyroid cancer carries with it both good news and bad news. “When it’s detected, the success rates of surgical and medical treatment are very high,” says Parkwest surgeon Will Gibson, MD. That’s the good news. The bad news is that it’s still cancer. “You’re in shock at first when you hear ‘the Big C,’” says Carolyn Allison, a thyroid cancer patient treated at Parkwest Medical Center. “I had my little crying spell, and I called my family, but it’s okay, I’m doing good.” Allison smiles with confidence now as she sits on a sofa in her West Knoxville home. She has a positive outlook, and is always ready for a laugh. Her backyard is a homegrown Garden of Eden with flowering plants and wind chimes, and her passion for planting and nurturing is evident. An energetic little dog named Pepper follows her everywhere she goes. It is a life well lived, and a life more treasured since her surgery at Parkwest. A nodule was detected on Allison’s thyroid gland as a result of another hidden medical problem being revealed. It was before her retirement, when Allison worked for the State Department of Children’s Services. Allison transported children to safe places throughout the Southeast. It was a job she enjoyed, she knew she was making a difference, and it took a lot to convince her she needed a day off. “I had gotten up one morning and showered, I walked in the closet and reached up to get a shirt to put on, and blacked out,” Allison says. “I woke up in the floor.” Blacking out would have been a

wake-up call for some people, but not for Allison. Deciding she had important work to do, she shook it off, finished getting ready, and left for her job. “I felt so bad that day I could hardly pick my feet up,” Allison says. The blackout hadn’t been enough to alarm her, but the fact that it had affected her work convinced her something was wrong. She made an appointment with her physician, and discovered her blood pressure was 201 over 111. “That’s stroke level,” Allison says somberly. In addition to prescribing blood pressure medication, the Carolyn Allison and her dog Pepper are doctor ordered an ulenjoying life to the fullest after Allison’s trasound on Allison’s thyroidectomy at Parkwest Medical Center. carotid arteries as a precautionary measure.

tant. Keeping up with her regular appointments to monitor the nodule, Allison’s doctor sent her for an MRI checkup in January of this year. The nodule had grown, so a biopsy was ordered. Two weeks later, Allison received a call recommending she either have surgery to remove her thyroid, or come back for another biopsy in six months. The biopsy had raised suspicion of cancer, but hadn’t confirmed cancer’s presence. Waiting was an option, but Allison wanted to be proactive and get it taken care of immediately. After her doctor recommended the Parkwest surgeon, Gibson reviewed Allison’s case and performed a thyroidectomy on April 11, 2016, but not until he made sure his patient was completely informed and comfortable with the procedure. “He explained everything in detail, and he answered all my questions,” Allison says. “He even drew a diagram showing the thyroid over my trachea, and where the nodule was.” She learned about every part

of the cancer, the surgery and the after effects. With her trademark upbeat attitude, when Allison was told the surgery might lower her voice, she joked that she hoped she could sing like Adele after the procedure. “We all got a good laugh out of that,” she says with a grin. Allison says she was treated well at Parkwest Medical Center. “Those people were so kind to me,” Allison says. “They were just super nice.” The surgery revealed the presence of cancer, but with the thyroid gone, so was the threat. The day after surgery, cancer free, Allison was able to get up, shower, and prepare to go home to Pepper. “The whole experience was great,” Allison says. “As you can see, I am healed up really well.” Looking back, Allison can now recognize some signs that her thyroid might not have been working properly. “I had gained some weight and I thought it was just because I had been through menopause,” Allison says. “But I think the thyroid had a lot to do with that.” She says she had also noticed a general lack of energy, “I just figured everything sort of slows down with age.” All that’s changed since her thyroidectomy. Allison’s energy level is up, and she’s started getting back to her goal weight, losing 12 pounds in the two months after surgery with no changes to her diet or exercise routine. “If I could just sing like Adele, I’d have it made, wouldn’t I?” Allison laughs.

Can I live without my thyroid gland?

Located in the neck, the thyroid gland makes hormones that are vital to maintenance of normal metabolism in the human body. The thyroid is composed of two lobes, with a narrow bridge in the center. When a cancerous nodule is detected, a thyroidectomy is usually recommended. A total thyroidectomy involves being put to sleep under general anesthesia with a fairly small incision made in the lower portion of the neck, just above the breast bone. “We dissect down through a couple of layers of muscle, and we encounter the thyroid right there as it lies on top of Will Gibson, MD the trachea or wind pipe,” surgeon Will Gibson, MD, explains. “Although it ultimately comes out as one piece, we remove it one half at a time.” The procedure is not without its challenges. “We have to be very careful to avoid injury to the nearby parathyroid gland and the nerves to the vocal chords,” Gibson says. “Most thyroidectomies go very well, and patients are able to return to their normal lives with medication.”

Faced with the prospect of losing part of your body can be a cause for some concern. Can your body really function without a thyroid gland? The answer is yes, according to Parkwest surgeon Will Gibson, MD, but it does require a lifelong commitment to taking a synthetic thyroid hormone replacement. “The presence of thyroid hormone in the body is essential for normal function and normal physiology,” Gibson says, “but we’re fortunate in that it can be replaced in the form of a pill which allows the removal of the thyroid gland to come with very little long term effect.” The two issues that usually lead to removal of the thyroid are imbalance in the hormones, and nodules posing a cancer threat. Gibson says it’s not something any of us should lose sleep over. “You don’t have to ultrasound everybody’s neck,” Gibson says. “You’ll find so many nodules you can’t even handle them all, and the vast majority of them are not cancer.” When thyroid cancer is detected, Gibson says the success rates of surgical and medical treatment are very

high. “Thyroid cancer, in the vast majority of cases, grows very slowly, and the outcomes of treatment are very, very good,” Gibson says.
