By Sherri Gardner Howell It was a day to immerse yourself in the heritage and traditions of a different culture. The purpose? To see the world from a new perspective.

Pellissippi State Community College highlighted Asian cultures on Oct. 4 with the Pacific Rim Street Fest. The free fair in the Goins Building College Center on the main campus at Hardin Valley looked at the countries of China, Japan, Vietnam, Korea and Taiwan, spotlighting cultural traditions and experiences.

“Each semester, we have events that focus on different cultural experiences,” said Gayle Wood, the college’s director of access and diversity. “We’ve spotlighted cultures as diverse as Mediterranean, Hispanic, African and Native American in the past. The idea to focus on Pacific Rim countries came from a student who also is a military veteran. He had amazing stories about serving in some of those Pacific Rim countries and the cultural experiences he had there.”

The festival featured Wah Lum Kung Fu of Knoxville performers who gave a traditional kung

There was a Japanese dancing troupe from Atlanta, displays of Chinese fine art and a Japanese tea ceremony.

The access and diversity office gave away chopsticks, Chinese and Japanese folding fans and fortune cookies.

In the culinary realm, booths offered samples of traditional food and drink, including Asian teas,

Taiwanese Kong Bao chicken, Japanese wasabi pork shumai and Vietnamese dau phong (boiled peanuts).

The Pacific Rim Street Fest is one of the events that make up this academic year’s The Arts at Pellissippi State. The arts series includes music, theater, international celebrations, lectures and the fine arts. In addition, the Pellissippi State Foundation will

host Back Stage Pass, an introduction to the Arts at Pellissippi and a fundraiser for college scholarships on Thursday, Nov. 14, at Gettysvue Country Club. The evening takes guests behind the scenes with a chance to experience music, art, theater, photography and cultural arts through demonstrations and hands-on activities. Tickets, $100 per person, also include a cocktail buffet and live auction. To purchase tickets: 694-6400 and ask for the foundation office.

For those who need language help

By Laura Cline Tania Matthews knows what it is like to be afraid to talk. She is now working to make sure others don’t live with that fear.

Matthews, who lives in Hardin Valley, is the new English as a Second Language (ESL) coordinator at Cedar Springs Presbyterian Church. She and her team of about 30 volunteers provide free classes at the church, attracting foreign nationals from Iraq, China, Mexico, Brazil and Russia, just to name a few countries represented.

The classes offer a friendly, conversational environment for students

at different levels to further develop their English skills. “On any given night, we may have advanced students reading literature, intermediate students discussing current events, advanced beginners practicing sentence structure, and low beginners working on basic greetings,” Matthews said.

The ESL coordinator’s own experience learning a second language gave her a desire to help others surrounded by a foreign culture and language. “As a child, I lived in East Africa and learned to speak Swahili as a young teen-

ager. I remember well the years and tears of frustration. Every teenager wants to fit in, but my feeble attempts at language were ridiculed,” said Matthews.

“Some people didn’t realize that I was a fully intelligent human being because I was speaking at the level of a 2-year-old. I took that empathic knowledge I’d acquired as a teenager learning Swahili — afraid to open my mouth — and worked to inspire confidence in my students at ESL, because I knew how smart they were.”

Knox County Schools is conducting a series of public meetings to gather opinions about: What’s right? What’s not? What’s next?

The first was at South-Doyle Middle School; last week’s was at Carter Middle. These sessions are for everyone and every voice will be heard.

South-Doyle: Some teachers complained about the amount of testing they have to do and all of the hoops that teachers have to jump through that are driving a lot of experienced, good teachers into early retirement.

SALES • SERVICE • MAINTENANCE

They said teacher morale is really low, and all the observation they’re under is distracting and dispiriting.

Several teachers and parents said teachers should be better paid. Another said educators need more classroom resources.

Carter: Attendees voiced support for site-based school management, better teacher pay and a new concept: “advancement based on mastery.” This is a logical extension of individualized learning, made possible with technology.

Parents from Gibbs participated heavily, and were able to get construction of a new middle

school at Gibbs into the top three priorities of the entire group.

Educators dominated attendance at both meetings, perhaps skewing the results. Leadership Knoxville facilitated each group discussion.

Leaders get ‘baptized’ at Fall Festival

By Ashley Baker It’s not every day that people get to dunk their pastor in a water tank.

But that is exactly what members of Ebenezer United Methodist Church did on Oct. 6 as part of the Community Fall Festival.

The dunking booth was a fundraiser for Magnolia Avenue Food Pantry, so the pastor and other church leaders were willing to take their place on the hot seat.

Everyone maintained good spirits, with Bonnie Adams getting a good laugh when she successfully sent children’s director Nancy Twigg splashing into the water.

As the church celebrated the beginnings of autumn, parishioners were encouraged to bring food items for Magnolia Food Pantry and enjoy a night of food, games and hayrides. The hayrides, led

by Estes Stooksbury, are always popular, as much for the driver as the experience.

“Everybody knows him and loves him,” said church member Ken Pearson.

The crowd was estimated at more than 250 who enjoyed candy, popcorn, face paint, obstacle courses, a cake walk, door prizes, games and crafts.

Ebenezer United Methodist Church is located at 1001 Ebenezer Road. Lead pastor is Ann Robins.

The Trollkretsen Scandinavian Dancers entertained with folk dances from Sweden, Norway and Denmark. Dancing here are Reka Kelemen with Trollkretsen leaders Bill Gooch and Meg Mabbs.

Vikings land for evening of Scandinavian experiences The word was out of the tasty treats and cultural immersion offered by the Vikings of the Smokies Sons of Norway at the group’s third annual Taste of Scandinavia, held Sept. 15 at Faith Lutheran Church. A crowd – some who could claim the Scandinavian heritage and some who could just appreciate the talents of the group – gathered for an evening of good food, cultural displays and folk dancing demonstrations.

The Sons of Norway Vikings lodge was the first lodge founded in Tennessee and is celebrating five years together. There is now also a group in Nashville. The original Sons of Norway formed

in Minnesota in 1895, president Olaf Storaasli told the group, to help Scandinavian immigrants to the U.S. For the Taste of Scandinavia, however, the steaming plates of Swedish meatballs, potato sausages and lapkaus stew, the creamed and pickled herring, smoked salmon and mouth-watering baked goods provided a welcoming smorgasbord. Baked

treats included lefse, kringla and krumkaka, most prepared by those who learned recipes from Scandinavian mothers and grandmothers.

Displays of Scandinavian heritage circled the room and included dolls, books, photographs and scrapbooks.

Topping off the evening was a spectacular performance of more than ten dances by the Trollkretsen Scandinavian Dancers. This group, led by Bill Gooch and Meg Mabbs, included traditional costumes and dances from Norway, Sweden and France. Trollkretsen is a casual, recreational dance group that meets on Tuesday evenings at Laurel Theatre.

ginners class with the program in 2008, but other responsibilities and opportunities required her to step away for a time. She had been looking for an opportunity to work with internationals again when the church approached her about their need for a new ESL coordinator.

“Sometimes I think that God gives us a restlessness when He is about to move us into something new. I’d been restlessly desiring to do something directly focused on internationals, not knowing what it would be. Now that I’m back in ESL, that restlessness is satisfied,” she said.

Ayat Nashwan, a Ph.D. student in social work at the University of Tennessee, moved to Knoxville with her family from Jordan and has been in the advanced ESL class for over 3 years. “It has highly qualified teachers and coordinators, and I’ve felt my English skills improving with this program,” said Nashwan. “They also offer child care and transportation which make it easier for us to come.”

Nashwan said that, in addition to the practice she gets improving her English skills, she appreciates the opportunity both to learn about American culture and to share about her own culture with the teachers and other students. Providing that environment is a big

“When most people think of the need for ESL, they think mostly of the need for foreign nationals to be able to function in the United States in English. While this is a real need, I’ve begun to take a different perspective, and that is that we (the locals here in Knoxville) need to help unlock the voices of our international neighbors.

We need their perspectives on life and the world,” Matthews said.

Although it has been around for 15 years, the program continues to evolve to meet the needs of students.

“For a long time, Chinese ESL students who worked at the national labs or attended UT Knoxville as visiting scholars were the majority in the evening ESL program. Now

our biggest group is refugees from Iraq,” said Matthews.

With these changes, come new program needs. “Many of our students do not have a car to take them to class, and our bus is full every night,” said Matthews. “As a result, the need for drivers and transportation providers is bigger than ever.”

Matthews feels that this program serves an important role in the community and wants it to continue to give students the English skills they need to function well in a new culture.

“ESL is one of the few places where age, socioeconomic background, education and nationality cease to be important. We’re all here to learn English. Friendships grow across boundary lines. And we enrich each other,” Matthews said.

Preparing lefse, a dish like a potato pancake, are Jeannette Lively and Linda Turmo. The menu for Taste of Scandinavia offered mouthwatering hot and cold foods and desserts.

government Neil McBride set to leave TVA board Last year TVA was about to operate without a quorum as four board members’ terms had expired and the White House had not nominated any new members until the last minute.

Victor Ashe

This year, TVA does not face that situation, but one member’s term has expired and that is Neil McBride from Oak Ridge. His term expired May 18, 2013, but his tenure continues until Dec. 31, 2013, unless President Obama renominates him and the U.S. Senate confirms him.

His departure would reduce the board membership from nine to eight, but next year two current members’ terms expire on May 18, 2014, and they are Bill Sansom of Knoxville who is chair and Barbara Haskew of Chattanooga.

They will serve until the end of 2014 unless replaced or reappointed.

McBride is seeking a second term but has not been reappointed. The current government shutdown slows down the process for him if the White House is considering a second term.

There are only 10 weeks left in 2013, and if he is to continue on the board he must be re-nominated soon or the clock will run out on him in terms of the U.S. Senate having time to vote on his nomination.

Both Sens. Alexander and Corker, as a practical matter, will need to sign off on this if McBride expects to win confirmation before Christmas.

McBride has had strong ties to more progressive members (read liberal) of the community as a public interest advocate in this region for many years.

However, he has been a very quiet member of the TVA board, and the public has trouble pointing to what he has accomplished during his time there.

He was silent on the dress code lawsuit and is silent on the tree cuttings under power lines across numerous residential neighborhoods. He has failed to argue openly for public meetings of TVA board committees which many feel are needed for transparency.

He has continued to be unfailingly polite and ready

to hear many points of view while reserving his opinions to himself.

It is hard to tell if Sansom wants to continue on the TVA board where he has served twice. As a Republican, he would not be a first choice for President Obama, but his strong ties to Sen. Lamar Alexander, for whom he served as Commissioner of Finance and Commissioner of Transportation, may influence Obama to rename him if Sansom wants it.

Haskew is a question mark as to whether she wishes to continue.

■ TVA gave away $835,335 this past fiscal year to NGOs in the Valley region. These are groups which have applied for grants according to TVA guidelines.

■ Keith Shields, who has been promoted from deputy to director of the city’s Fleet Services, also won a $7,000 pay raise and a car allowance of $5,830 a year for a total package of $12,830 plus. Not all city directors have a car allowance, city spokesperson Jesse Mayshark said. It is not clear what the standard is for some directors to have a car allowance while others do not.

■ Lance Campbell has been hired to replace Lee Miracle as real estate manager. Campbell has big shoes to fill. He starts out at $12,000 less than Miracle was paid when he retired this summer.

■ Two longtime city employees have signed up for the city’s drop plan which means in two years or less they will cease being city employees. They are Cindy Mitchell, city recorder for 34 years, and Bob Whetsel, former director of Public Service who now works on special projects such as improvements to Cumberland Avenue. More later about their significant contributions. Mitchell is one of the most senior city recorders among all American cities.

■ The federal shutdown has slowed the eventual vote on Pam Reeves being confirmed as the next federal judge for East Tennessee as much of the Senate Judiciary Committee is furloughed and cannot read over the written answers Reeves has submitted to the Committee while they are on forced leave. It could now be November or Christmas before Reeves wins approval, even early 2014 if the unrelated issues are not resolved.

Bobby Waggoner: Will he run for Sheriff?

A few days after the UT Vols’ heartbreaking overtime loss to Georgia, someone compared Bobby Waggoner’s deliberation over whether to make a run for Knox County Sheriff in 2014 to Tennessee wide receiver Alton “Pig” Howard’s ohso-close fumble in the final seconds of that game:

Anne Hart

“He’s about an inch away from making a decision.”

Waggoner has had folks talking about his future since he retired from the Sheriff’s office the first of September. He has been visiting with local business and civic leaders since then, and is straightforward about the fact he’s considering running for the top cop job.

“What I’m really doing at this point is listening,” Waggoner says. “I want to know what people in the community think about how the Sheriff’s Office is being run.

If I hear they’re happy with the status quo, obviously I won’t run. I want what’s best for Knox County, and I don’t mind saying I’m getting a lot of encouragement to run.

“This community has been good to me and my family for generations,” he adds. “I care about it and want to give back in any way I can. Serving as Sheriff would certainly be a way to do that.”

It’s hard to imagine anyone more qualified for the position. A certified police officer for decades, with more than 1200 hours of

law enforcement training in the last 12 years alone, Waggoner has 44 years in law enforcement under his belt – more than 12 years of it in the Knox County Sheriff’s Office (KCSO), where he started out as assistant chief deputy, Bobby and Kathryn Waggoner, seated center, with their children and grandan administra- children.

Hammond may take on McCroskey Mayor Madeline Rogero, state Sen. Becky Massey and two-thirds of the school board are living proof that women have not been shut out of political office in Knoxville or Knox County, but getting elected and staying elected can be tough for women who aren’t kin to a member of Congress or who haven’t been focused on building a political career for decades.

County Commission and City Council have only one female member each, and just three of 16 elected judges are women.

The remaining three county officeholders who are women, Register of Deeds Sherry Witt, General Sessions Court Clerk Cathy Quist and Criminal Court Clerk Joy McCroskey, all face re-election next spring.

Quist and McCroskey, to whom term limits do not apply because they are con-

Betty Bean sidered part of the judiciary, make nearly $125,000 a year. Witt, who is subject to term limits, makes $113,624.

So far, only McCroskey seems likely to face opposition.

For some 40 years, the court clerks have been women. That record could be challenged this year, as 10-year County Commission veteran Mike Hammond moves ever closer to announcing that he will be opposing McCroskey, who was appointed in 2008 after the death of longtime Criminal Court Clerk Martha Phillips, a revered figure in the courthouse.

Hammond is a longtime radio personality who is

program director at WCYQ, a new country music radio station. He says he likes his job, but is being asked to run by “a number of people.”

“I’ve got a big decision to make. I’ve got a good job, but. …”

He said he will announce his decision the first of November.

He also said the prospect of going after one of the few female officeholders in the courthouse won’t be a consideration.

“I’m looking at the office itself, the issues and the way it’s run. I’d simply be offering my expertise,” he said.

McCroskey has worked in the clerk’s office for 45 years, minus a year when she went to work for TVA looking for better pay. She returned in 1974, and figures that she knows the job inside out.

“I decided if I was going to have to work my whole

life, I was going to love the job I had,” she said “Luckily, they hired me back.”

She had four months to mount a campaign in November 2008 after being appointed. She was elected overwhelmingly and has since been re-elected. If she wins in 2014, she says she will term-limit herself, even though she’s not required by law to do so. She’s prepared to fight for the job.

“Anybody has a right to run that wants to run. I’m not going to back down because I’ve got an opponent.”

Burnside’s journey to Knoxville This is the third part of a monthly series on the Civil War and the Knoxville Campaign in a salute to the Civil War Sesqui-

Jim Tumblin

centennial.

Ambrose Everett Burnside reported on June 1, 1843, to begin the rigor and strict discipline at the United States Military Academy at West Point. He graduated in 1847 number 18 of the 38 who survived the four years.

The Mexican War had begun in 1846. Burnside arrived in Mexico when the war was almost over and was assigned to tedious administrative duties. With the war officially ended in the spring of 1848, he was transferred to Fort Adams, R.I. on Narragansett Bay. By 1851, he was back at Fort Adams and, within 30 days, he married Mary Richmond Bishop whom he must have known when first assigned there. After a 60-day leave, they moved into their first home, a bricked-up casemate at the fort.

Burnside resigned his army commission in 1853 to open a factory in Bristol, R.I. where he manufactured the breech-loading carbine he had designed.

He was forced into bankruptcy when the hoped-for government contracts did not materialize.

When the Civil War began in 1861, Burnside

accepted appointment as colonel of the 1st Rhode Island Volunteers. His was one of the first 90-day regiments to reach Washington when the capital was threatened. In July of 1861 at First Manassas he commanded a brigade that was involved at Henry House Hill. In spite of Burnside’s efforts to rally them, his Rhode Islanders became a part of the general rout of the Union army in that first major battle of the war.

S o o n thereaf ter Burnside organized and carried out a difficult amphibious operation on the North Carolina coast. A f lotilla of 80 ships carrying 20,000 men departed Annapolis on Jan. 6, the ship’s captains carrying sealed orders to be unsealed when they reached open sea. By mid-January most of the ships had survived several storms and arrived at Hatteras Inlet to disembark the relieved soldiers on North Carolina shores.

On Feb. 8, Burnside captured Roanoke Island and more than 2,500 Confederates. In 10 demoralizing months, this was the North’s first significant triumph, although Ulysses S. Grant would capture Fort Donelson eight days later and overshadow it.

As he was prone to do, the humble Burnside credited

Gens. Foster, Reno and Parke.

His performance earned him a promotion to major general (effective March 18, 1862). On Sept. 17 of that year at the Battle of Antietam, when

the Army of Northern Virginia under Gen. James Longstreet along Marye’s Heights and Gen. T.J. “Stonewall” Jackson along the river to the south.

Despite the strength of the Confederate position, Burnside ordered frontal attacks by units under Gens. Edwin Sumner and William Franklin on Dec. 13, 1862. In eleven attacks on Longstreet’s corps on Marye’s Heights during that long day, the Federals were beaten back with heavy losses. Darkness ended the slaughter.

Burnside was almost overcome by grief in the face of 12,653 Federal casualties (killed, wounded and missing) as to 5,309 for the defending Confederates.

The Army of the Potomac was again demoralized, having lost faith in its commander. In a poorly conceived attempt to redeem himself, Burnside planned to march the Army above Fredericksburg, cross the Rappahannock and fall on the rear of the enemy. The lead elements moved out on Jan. 19, 1863. No sooner had the march begun when high winds and pelting rain disorganized it. The men, the animals, the artillery and the supply wagons were stalled in the mud.

Burnside canceled the march on Jan. 23 and the army straggled back to its old camp on Stafford Heights opposite Fredericksburg. Two days later Burnside was relieved of command in favor of Gen. Joseph Hooker.

Burnside was ordered to Kentucky as Commander of the Army of the Ohio.

Lincoln instructed him to enter East Tennessee and to secure it for the Union as soon as possible. There

Robert E. Lee lost 28 percent of his army, McClellan lost 24 percent. The battle was deemed a political victory in the North and provided Lincoln the opportunity to issue the Emancipation Proclamation.

Burnside was an able subordinate who doubted his own ability as a commander. He declined Lincoln’s offer to be Commander of the Army of the P o t o m a c twice, when Lincoln decided McC l e l l a n proceeded too slowly.

were numerous reasons for delay, not the least of which was the campaign for Vicksburg. The 8,000 men of Burnside’s 9th Corps had been detached to join Grant there. Gen. Pemberton surrendered to Grant on July 4, 1863 and Burnside’s corps rejoined him in Kentucky. He now felt that he was strong enough to enter East Tennessee.

He left Nicholasville, Ky. on Aug. 16 with 15,000 men to travel 220 miles across the desolate mountains into East Tennessee.

One diarist wrote of this march: “If this is the kind of country we are fighting for, I am in favor of letting the Rebs take their land ... and go to (hell), for I wouldn’t give a bit of an acre for all the land I have seen in the last four days.”

On Sept. 3, he reached Knoxville without opposition. Senator Harris of New York received this message from his son, “Glory be to God, the Yankees have come! The f lag’s come back to Tennessee!

Such were the welcomes all along the road, as we entered Knoxville, it was past all description. The people seemed frantic with joy. I never knew what the Love of Liberty was before. The old f lag has been hidden in mattresses and under carpets.

It now f loats to the breeze at every staff in East Tennessee. Ladies wear it – carry it – wave it! Little children clap their hands and kiss it.”

The stage was set. On Nov. 29, 1863 Burnside and Confederate Gen. James Longstreet would meet at the Battle of Fort Sanders.

It would prove to be Burnside’s best day of the war and Longstreet’s worst.

Rolling on

By Betsy Pickle Check out the north side of Kingston Pike for a mile in each direction from Lovell Road, and you’ll see it has more than its share of tire and autorepair establishments.

That competition doesn’t bother Jimmy Matlock of Matlock Tire Service and Auto Repair.

Where others see tires as a commodity, Matlock believes they are the starting point for relationships.

That’s one reason Matlock Tire Service is celebrating its 60th anniversary.

“We have survived for 60 years by never losing focus on service,” says Matlock. “It’s been in our name for 60 years.”

In 1953, Matlock’s father, Joe – the son of a hardware-store owner – started the company with a small service station in Eaton Crossroads, just outside of Lenoir City.

Jimmy and his three sisters began working in the family business as soon as they were old enough to answer phones, write receipts or wash windows – whatever needed doing.

Matlock graduated from Lenoir City High School in 1977. When he entered the University of Tennessee to major in business, he had dreams of something bigger than a little business in Eaton Crossroads.

“I was probably not going to come back into the family business,” he says.

“My father had done it so long. He worked all the time. He had no hobbies.

He was a real Type A personality.

“I’d about decided life was a little more than working 80 hours a week.

But fate or the good Lord set me on this path.”

Joe Matlock died suddenly of a heart attack, and Jimmy Matlock had to leave school to run the business. His mother, Jane, worked with him for 10 years, guiding him with her experience.

“Mom worked along with him (Joe Matlock) while raising her children,” says Matlock.

The second generation built on the success of the first, and now Matlock Tire Service has locations not only in Lenoir City and Farragut, but also in Maryville and Athens. Jimmy Matlock, who serves in the Tennessee Legislature as representative from District 21, which encompasses parts of Loudon and Monroe counties, has help from the third generation – his son Joe, who runs the Farragut location.

Matlock’s daughter works for a political action committee in Washington, and his younger son just started at UT and plans to become a dentist. Jimmy doesn’t say how much coaxing he had to do to get Joe to come on board.

“Joe has grown up just like I did,” he says, working in the business. “He majored in finance. I think he felt very confident he would not return to the family business. But Joe has a customer-service heart.”

Matlock says family is the foundation of the company’s success – not just relatives, but the customers and especially the employees who have become part of the Matlock family.

“We have seven employ-

Matlocks see service as key to 60 more years

Joe Matlock, Jane Matlock and Jimmy Matlock represent three generations of commitment to customers at Matlock Tire Service and Auto Repair. Photo by Betsy Pickle ees who’ve been with us more than 25 years,” he says. “We have three people who’ve never had another job.” While most of the long-time employees are on the management team, there are two technicians who have been with the company 32 and 26 years, respectively.

Making people feel at home is Matlock’s specialty. It came in handy about 20 years ago when he realized there was a demographic that wasn’t getting the attention it deserved – the “female decision maker.”

“I saw the growing presence and significance of the female buyer,” he says.

“Before that, it was your father, your brother, your grandfather who went out to a dirty facility to have the car worked on.

“I tried to change that 20 years ago. I said, ‘We’re going to clean up, we’re going to straighten up and we’re going to make ourselves different from anybody else in the tire business in East Tennessee.’”

Matlock outfitted his service centers with play areas for children and put women’s magazines in the

waiting rooms. He made the exteriors more attractive with landscaping.

“We were green before green was cool,” he says.

The future may hold yet another expansion (the company owns property on Emory Road in North Knox County), but Matlock is happy with what has been accomplished.

“We’re just doing what we should be doing,” he says. “When you have three generations of customers who have traded with you, you’ve done something right.”

This week, Matlock’s

Farragut location will have “appreciation days” with special discounts for veterans on Monday, women on Tuesday and educators on Wednesday.

Thursday will celebrate current and past employees and friends.

On Friday and Saturday, there will be special anniversary pricing for everyone who visits the store, along with giveaways. Also on Friday, NAPA will provide lunch for customers from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Swinging for food

The bread of life “I am the bread of life. Your ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that one may eat of it and not die. I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats of this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.”

Jewish sacred music a first for KSO

By Wendy Smith

The turnout wasn’t all they hoped for, but the good people at Two Rivers Church aren’t strangers to a “build it, and they will come” attitude. With Feeding God’s Children as the mission, it’s likely the 2013 FGC Boys & Girls Golf Challenge will be back.

The challenge, a fundraiser for the church’s Feeding God’s Children ministry, was held on Sept. 27 at Concord Park Par 3 Golf Course.

Golfers, ages 10 to 18, competed for prizes and trophies. The event had all the goodies associated with adult tournaments, including prizes, a pizza lunch, T-shirts, goodie bags with coupons and refreshments on the course. In addition, a free golf clinic was held.

Feeding God’s Children is a 501(c)(3) foundation founded in 2005 as part of a global outreach of Two Rivers Church, Lenoir City.

The mission is to provide financial and prayer support in Guatemala City,

The Knoxville Symphony Orchestra will perform Ernest Bloch’s Avodath Hakodesh, or Sacred Service, as part of its Moxley Carmichael Masterworks Series next year, and Maestro Lucas Richman hopes to educate potential audience members before the February performances.

He spoke about the composer and his music last week at the Arnstein Jewish Community Center. This will be the first time the music has ever been performed in Knoxville, and perhaps in East Tennessee, he said.

While the KSO performs sacred Christian music once a year, it will be the first time the symphony has performed sacred Jewish music in its 78-year history. It’s an Nathan Tucker gets ready for a opportunity for education practice swing before his putt and dialogue in the commuat the Feeding God’s Children nity, said Richman.

That’s remarkable, Richman said, given that Bloch is considered the greatest composer of Jewish music in the 20th century.

He spent four years writing Avodath Hakodesh, which explores what it means to be Jewish.

The piece is written for chorus, orchestra and a cantor, and it was created for the concert hall as well as places of worship.

Bloch was commissioned Helping with check-in at the golf challenge are Hope Creech, to write the music by the ReJordi Domingue and Courtney Graves. form Synagogue, but Richman questioned whether the group was pleased with the outcome, given that the text is in Hebrew, and Reform Synagogue services

are in English.

He asked the audience to consider what makes music Jewish in nature.

Certain melodic intervals and chords – like G minor – often characterize music that’s considered Jewish, he said. Since such chords invoke sadness, does that mean that the experience of Jewish people is immersed in sadness?

Richman conjectured that Jewish music is influenced by nusahim, or melodic patterns, used during the reading of the Torah.

The notes that accompany the text are different depending on the time of year or for specific events.

The melodic patterns have pushed their way into the work of many composers, including George Gershwin, he said.

After asking if a non-Jew could write Jewish music, he played a section of the score from “Schindler’s List,” written by film composer John Williams.

“That’s about as Jewish as it gets,” Richman said.

He thinks the score was influenced by Bloch’s work.

Avodath Hakodesh is part of the KSO’s Music of the Spirit show. Performances are at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 20, and Friday, Feb. 21. For ticket information: 291-3310 or www. knoxvillesymphony.com

When my daughters were youngsters living at home, they would (especially on a Friday night) ask if there was a chance “the biscuit lady” would show up the next morning. It was their way of requesting that I make biscuits for breakfast.

Biscuits are a southern thing. There are indigenous breads all over the world, but biscuits are ours. Oh, you can find biscuits in the North and even in the West.

However, what the poor, struggling souls who live there think of as biscuits don’t even come close to Southern biscuits.

That’s because they don’t know about White Lily flour.

One fall Sunday morning many years ago, in my mother’s Sunday school class, the question was posed: “What are you thankful for?”

Macel spoke up unhesitatingly with her answer: “White Lily flour!”

The class burst into laughter, but the women, at least, knew what she meant.

White Lily is made with soft Southern wheat, and it is a whole ’nother thing when it comes to biscuits. White Lily biscuits float off the plate if you are not careful.

I thought of all this again this morning as I made biscuits for breakfast.

Jesus called himself the “bread of life,” meaning, as I understand it, that basic, fundamental requirement for the sustaining life.

Bread always has meaning.

A biscuit means a Southern breakfast. A croissant means an elegant brunch. A hot dog bun means a cookout or a football game. A skillet of cornbread dripping

Jesus, the Bread of Life, means life itself, as well as home and love and peace.

Jesus, the Bread of Life, invites us to participate in his life, to feed on his wisdom, to partake of his goodness, to sustain ourselves with his strength.

On World Communion Sunday, as I extended my cupped hands to receive the Body of Christ in the form of bread, I was moved once more by the simplicity of the symbols: bread and the juice of the grape. As simple and ordinary as biscuits, yet full of power and meaning, because Jesus, on the last night of his earthly life, imbued them with eternal significance: “Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood have eternal life, and I will raise them up on the last day; for my flesh is true food and my blood is true drink. Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood abide in me, and I in them.” (John 6: 54-56) And so the pastor puts a bit of bread in my hand, and says those miraculous words that never cease to amaze and humble me: “This is the body of Christ, broken for you. Take and feed on him in your heart with thanksgiving.”

Provision has innovative breast cancer treatment

By Shana Raley-Lusk As the battle against breast cancer continues, many patients are seeking less debilitating treatment options when possible. Fortunately for those in East Tennessee, Provision’s Dr. Allen Meek is pioneering a new method of fighting the disease.

This cutting-edge treatment method is called prone breast radiation and reduces the longterm health risks often caused by traditional radiation treatment.

“Traditionally, breast cancer is treated with the patient lying on her back, causing the breast to fall forward,” says Meek, medical director at Provision Radiation Therapy. “This puts vital organs, such as the heart and lungs, as risk.”

Prone breast radiation, on the other hand, positions the patient on her stomach on a specially designed table which allows the breast to hang down.

In this way, the breast can be radiated without affecting other parts of the body. Meek helped develop the technique

along with other physicians in New York and brought the treatment method with him to Provision.

According to Meek, studies show that traditional radiation therapy can cause heart disease, even 15 to 20 years later.

It has been linked to lung cancer as well.

“Because this method greatly reduces the exposure to radiation, it reduces these long-term health risks as well,” he says.

Samantha Lloyd, a patient of Meek’s, recently completed treatment utilizing prone breast radiation.

“I absolutely would recommend this form of therapy because it is so much safer for the heart and lungs,” Lloyd says. “I was able to continue working throughout my treatment process.”

A busy Realtor, Samantha appreciated that each treatment could be completed in as little as 15 minutes per visit.

“I came to treatments for a total of 33 days,” she adds.

“After I was diagnosed at

therapy,” said Meek. This is because in that scenario, the radiation needs to reach more areas of the chest than this technique allows.

Provision is proud to offer such an innovative option for breast cancer patients in our area.

“This facility was very open to trying this new technique,” said Meek. “The staff here is very eager and open to trying new things.”

Meek receives Top Doctor Award two years running

Allen Meek, Radiation oncologist at Provision Radiation Therapy, Medical Director at Provision Medical Group Dr. Allen Meek comes to Knoxville from Long Island, New York where he was the Founding Chairman of the Department of Radiation Oncology at Stony Brook University Medical School and a professor for more than 28 years. Prior to that, he spent 11 years at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore, Md., completing medical school, residencies in internal medicine and radiation oncology and a fellowship in medical oncology. A Navy veteran, Meek also served as board member and officer of several nonprofit organizations on Long Island. While in New York, Meek received numerous awards, including Top Doctors in New York and Best Doctors in the USA, along with awards for Humanitarianism and Environmental Stewardship. Also, he has been recognized for the past two consecutive years as a U.S. News and World Report “Top Doctor.” He has a passion for excellence in delivering patient care and for developing new procedures to improve that care. A native New Englander, he and his wife are thrilled about settling in Eastern Tennessee, building a home in Seymour, and their six children are looking forward very much to visiting. Meek is an active gardener, beekeeper (yes, he “robs” the bees) and enjoys playing tennis and hiking.

Knoxville Comprehensive Breast Center earlier this year, my doctor recommended this type of treatment,” Lloyd said.

“I have absolutely no limitations or side effects now that my treatments are completed.”

While prone breast radiation is an ideal treatment option for many breast cancer patients, it is not right for everyone.

“When the lymph nodes are affected, the patient may not be a good candidate for prone

Provision’s Dr. Allen Meek has been a U.S. News and World Report “Top Doc” for two years running. Photo by Provision Dr. Allen Meek, medical director at Provision Radiation Therapy, is in the top 10 percent of all physicians in his specialty in the country. A nationally recognized and honored radiation oncologist and a pioneer in innovative cancer treatment, Meek is also a U.S. Navy veteran. But his accomplishments do not stop there.

He has now been honored for two consecutive years with U.S. News and World Report’s “Top Docs” ranking. This distinction comes from nominations from fellow physicians,

and Meek is one of only seven physicians in the state to be honored. He is the only recipient from East Tennessee.

During his time in the Navy, Meek learned how to focus his patient care in the outpatient setting, where family and friends provide ongoing support. This, coupled with his love of physics, led to his current outpatient practice of radiation oncology, also known as therapeutic radiology. He examines all patients at Provision Radiation Therapy and maintains an ongoing relationship with them throughout their treatment at the facility.

“I see patients weekly and am always available to them when our nursing and therapy staff feels I am needed,” he said.

Meek and his wife, Lillian, came to East Tennessee from

New York in search of a new home where Meek could plant an orchard and enjoy his beekeeping hobby.

“We knew we wanted four seasons,” he said. “And we wanted to live near a city and a university and in an area with lakes. Knoxville just jumped out, and the proximity to the University of Tennessee and Oak Ridge National Laboratory was an added bonus.”

Soon, they bought 60 acres in Seymour with plans to retire there later. But when Meek learned about Provision Health Alliance and its plans to build a proton therapy center, his plans changed a bit.

Meek said discussion with Provision “just clicked,” and soon he was on his way to an exciting new career and life in East Tennessee.

Shopper-News Presents Miracle Makers

Teacher ‘WOWs’ her students B B By Betsy etsy t Pickl Pickle kle

Nancy Friedrich had her midlife crisis at the same time her husband had his. In fact, they had the same one.

They didn’t buy expensive cars or look for newer-model spouses. They didn’t head to Monte Carlo or buy tickets to the International Space Station.

Successful in business but not fulfilled by the rewards, the Friedrichs decided to go back to school.

“We both went back and got postbaccalaureate degrees to become teachers,” says Nancy Friedrich.

Well, there are those who say that spending time with young people keeps you young, so maybe teaching is a good antidote to the middle-age crazies. It seems to be working for Friedrich. After a day with her 4th graders at Dogwood Elementary School, she’s full of energy and ideas.

She’s in her seventh year of teaching and is at her second school.

Previously, she spent 3 1/2 years teaching fifth grade at Sarah Moore Greene. Her husband, Jim, teaches business classes at Hardin Valley Academy.

“After all these years, we finally are on the same schedule,” she says.

“We’ve enjoyed it. We’ve made the most of it.”

It’s probably not fair to say that the Friedrichs are new to teaching. After all, they are the parents of two adult sons – one is a Lutheran minister in Amarillo, Texas, and the other is an engineer who works for Rolls-Royce in Indianapolis. A third son is a junior at West High School.

Friedrich grew up in Indiana and went to Butler University in Indianapolis, where she majored in journalism. She came to Knoxville in 1982 because she was “following a boy” who had gotten a job at the World’s Fair. She and that “nice boy” have been married for 31 years.

They have spent their adult lives in Knoxville except for three years when her husband’s job took them to Vienna when their older sons were in grade school. It was while they were living in Austria that they first considered the idea of teaching – at an international school.

Friedrich was a technical writer for Philips Consumer Electronics Co. for eight years before hanging her own shingle in technical writing for 15 years.

“What’s nice about being a teacher here and being an older teacher – with this being my second career – is I’m able to be a mentor,” she says.

Most of the teachers around her are much younger, and a lot of UT

Nancy Friedrich

students pass through for training.

“I may not have as many years of teaching experience,” she says, but there are other things that contribute to being a success in the classroom – “being a parent, living life, work experience, travel, adopting a child.”

The latter was an unexpected circumstance. Jacob came into the Friedrichs’ lives when he was 6 months old and his teen mother, Kesha, was being treated for cancer.

They lived with the Friedrichs for four years, until the young woman died at 21.

“She wanted us to raise her child.

It was never in our plan.

“She was one of the reasons Jim and I wanted to get into teaching.

Kesha never finished high school.

We surrounded her with books and travel. She got her GED when she was with us.

“The role of nurture – there’s a lot to be said for that.”

Friedrich nurtures teenagers through a nonprofit set up by her church, St. John’s Lutheran. She’s the executive director of WOW (Win Our World) Urban Ministry.

“It’s a program that teaches youth – middle- and high-school kids – how to serve in the urban setting.”

The program focuses on faith formation, leadership development and urban mission work. Instead of going on mission trips to foreign lands, youth groups come to St. John’s and spend time working with Knox Area Rescue Ministries, Project Live, the Salvation Army, Wesley House, Volunteer Ministry Center and the Fresh Air Camp.

“Pastor Amy (Figg) and I train high-school kids to run this themselves. The great thing about being a teacher is you’re off in the

Knox County Council PTA

summer and can focus on other things without having to worry about your job.”

Of course, having that job is what makes projects like WOW possible for her. She does it as a volunteer, with no pay, and she spends many hours planning, preparing and working on it.

It’s one of her passions.

“I’m trying to make a difference in my neck of the woods. I wanted to save the world, but I’m making a difference where I am.”

She loves travel, especially to exotic places, and that international school isn’t totally out of the question, but for now the only destination she has in mind is Amarillo, where she has a 4-monthold grandchild.

Meanwhile, she’s enjoying her journey at Dogwood. Being an educator fits with her mission mindset.

“I can’t show my faith here, but I can absolutely live it and model it. I can show them unconditional love.

I make them feel safe and cared for, and I’ll teach them something, too.”

Brizo collaborated with renowned fashion designer Jason Wu to create an exclusive bath collection that’ll knock your socks off. Ok, so those slinky catwalkers weren’t actually carrying sinks, but the Jason Wu Bath Collection for Brizo is available now, at Modern Supply.

Matte black is the new black in Wu’s collection, and it’s paired with polished chrome or polished nickel for a totally modern look that’s very feng shui. It’s Frank Lloyd Wright meets Coco Chanel. No really, it is.

I saw Nicole Kidman at the Calvin Klein show, but she didn’t see me.

At least she didn’t wave, but I’m not holding that against her. Honest, I’m not. She was the essence of cool glamor, and I’ve got a girl crush on her.

DKNY was all about animal-inspired patterns on little knit dresses with oversized sweaters. Leopard print rivals black as the urban uniform of choice. But I’ve been accessorizing with stripes and spots for ages. Just call me fashion forward (and animal friendly).

I just adore a penthouse view, but I was glad to see Rocky Top after a whirlwind week in New York.

The paparazzi would not leave me alone. They kept confusing me with Victoria Beckham. So after all the star-gazing and shopping, I came home feeling stylish and smug. Because this year I’m pimping my powder room, instead of my closet. It’s like Jason Wu says, “Fashion isn’t just about the clothes. It’s a lifestyle.�

MEETS FORWARD THINKING.

Hardin Valley Academy senior Alex Hughes helps sophomore Andrew Dodson create a faux weapon for AmtGard.

Battles among friends Hardin Valley Academy senior Alex Hughes has started a new club this year, AmtGard, for any student who wants to join.

Sara Barrett

Mostly, however, he says, “I did it for the students with not a lot of other things going on after school.”

On the flyers hanging in the hallways, AmtGard is described as “medieval battle simulation with foam weapons of all sorts in 16th century style.” So far, the club has doubled after only a couple of meetings.

Hughes shows each member how to create a weapon using soft foam, panty hose and shipping tape wrapped around the handle of a golf club so it doesn’t actually inflict harm.

“We make the weapons together.”

Members donate $5 for the supplies.

“It’s hard trying to accommodate on a McDonald’s budget.”

Club member and junior Skye Hodge said she took karate previously and has always enjoyed combat. Although the boys outnumber the girls in the club, I got the feeling that the girls can hold their own.

Hughes plans to break the group up into classes, which will compete against each other, leading eventually to role play with magical powers.

“I’ve been made fun of for (this interest), but once people give it a try, they see how much fun it can be.”

Hughes has been participating in battle simulation since the 8th grade and said he hopes to leave a legacy with the club when he graduates this year. He also hopes additional AmtGard clubs will start up at other high schools so friendly competitions can be held.

Participants must be 14.

When asked what he thinks may draw students to the club and battle simulation, Hughes smiles and says, “I honestly don’t know.”

Club sponsor and English teacher Brooke Cunningham said Alex is a great role model for the club members.

It is pretty impressive to see him keep the club meetings under control.

Clark named teacher of the year

Karns High School French teacher and Farragut resident Stephanie Clark has been selected by the Tennessee Foreign Language Te a c h i n g Association Stephanie (TFLTA) as Clark its teacher of the year.

“I was shocked,” said Clark, who got the news on the phone while she was making dinner for a friend.

“I burned that dinner black.”

Clark has been teaching at Karns High for 29 of the 31 years she’s been a teacher. She has been involved in the TFLTA for the majority of that time. Just like most teachers, she is humbled by the attention.

“I don’t feel like I deserve it. There are lots of other teachers who do amazing things in their classes every day.”

Clark said she loves the French language because it includes all of her interests.

She is able to teach the language as well as art, history and culture to her students.

And since she can’t seem to get enough of it, she’s taking a group of students to France this summer for 10 days “so they can actually see things we’ve talked about and be exposed to another culture.”

Clark will represent Tennessee in the national search for America’s teacher of the year, and is least looking forward to talking in front of people, ironically.

“It’s different talking in front of adults. These kids are my family, and I don’t feel like I need to entertain them.”

business No fabric needed

By Sherri Gardner Howell Put away the bolts of fabric for the 2nd annual Knoxville Fashion Ball. Creativity will be the main tool for stitching together the show-stopping dresses and outfits on the runway in this red-carpet show to benefit The Hope Center.

Hosted by Twisted Scissors and The Edge Knoxville, the show will take place on Saturday, Oct. 19, at The Edge, 7211 Kingston Pike. Walks down the red carpet begin at 8 p.m., with runway and entertainment beginning at 9:30 p.m.

“The idea is for the local designers we have identified to create outfits without using fabric,” says Elisabetta Proietto of Twisted Scissors.

“We have five local design-

ers so far, and they are really excited about the challenge.”

In addition to the show, there will be a silent auction. All funds raised will go to benefit The Hope Center, an organization that addresses the needs of those affected by HIV in Knox and surrounding counties.

Tickets are $10 for general admission, $30 for a VIP Pass that includes access to the VIP Lounge, unlimited wine and food and a souvenir badge, and $40 for a VIP Premium Pass, which includes the above plus a DVD of the event.

Four-legged show stealers

By Sherri Gardner Howell

Foster’s Fine Jewelry celebrates the nines There’s a reason to celebrate – two reasons, actually – at Foster’s Fine Jewelry, 7023 Kingston Pike. The jewelry store is celebrating 39 years in business, and its owner, Pam Hanna, is celebrating 59 years of life. The birthday party, complete with cake, champagne, Foster’s beer, door prizes and birthday specials, will be Thursday, Oct. 17, at the store. Helping show off the store’s newest addition of LaFonn diamonds are, from left, Brittany Ginn, Pam Hanna, jeweler David Tipton and Ashley Kuykendall. Ashley represents four generations of the family- owned business, which is named after her grandfather.

Lisa Coram with Office Suites Plus checks out the breakfast buffet.

All of Hollywood knows – don’t work with animals or children unless you’re in the mood for scene stealers.

On Oct. 10, two visitors from Smoky Mountain Service Dogs proved that is also true at Chamber events.

Co-hosts Knoxville Executive Suites didn’t seem to mind that Bella and Watson, two service dogs in training, got most of the attention.

The early morning networking event at Knoxville Executive Suites, 9111 Cross Park Drive, also featured a beautifully displayed breakfast buffet of fresh fruit, bagels, muffins and all the fi xings. And even with the two four-legged show-stealers, there was plenty of time for networking and catching up for the Chamber members who attended.

Bella, a 27-month-old golden retriever, is in the final days of her training, said her handler, Dennis Tissot, and will be placed with a disabled vet soon.

The training by certified trainers takes approximately two years. Tami Wyatt, a Smoky Mountain board member and foster “mom” for Watson, said the 5-month-old golden doodle is in the early stages of his training.

Smoky Mountain Service Dogs is a nonprofit organization that trains, fosters and places service animals with disabled veterans. Info: www.smokymountainservicedogs.org.

Knoxville Executive Suites offers office space and business services to both tenant and non-tenant customers, with an “a la carte” selection of services that can be mixed and matched to suit the customer’s needs. Info: www. kesinc.com or 694-0840.

The next Chamber networking event is at 5 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 17, at Matlock Tire, 10730 Kingston Pike.

Tim Irwin talks kids and football to Rotary

By Sherri Gardner Howell Juvenile Court Judge Tim Irwin sees a lot of people with problems in his job.

In spite of that, getting a good perspective on his role and his occupation comes easy for him.

“Imagine waking up every morning with the opportunity to make a positive difference in a child’s life,” Irwin said during his presentation to the Rotary Club of Farragut Wednesday. “That’s how I feel, and I couldn’t have a better job.”

Irwin has had other jobs. Knoxvillians first became aware of his talents as a football standout at Central High School. He played offensive tackle for the UT Volunteers where he gathered honors across the board: All-SEC, All-South and Academic All-American.

After his Vol career, Irwin was drafted by the Minnesota Vikings and spent 13 years in the NFL. Back in Knoxville after his NFL career was over, Irwin completed UT Law School in 1990. He was appointed judge of Juvenile Court in 2005, replacing the late Carey Garrett.

“Judge Garrett left a great team and a great process,” said Irwin. “What I would like most would be for the need for my job to shrink, but we see 22,000 matters every year. Knoxville is only 200 kids below Memphis for dependency and neglect cases. These are kids we have to take away from their parents.”

Reaching epidemic proportions is the misuse of prescription medications,

said Irwin. “We are taking babies away from mothers at birth because they are born addicted. The system and hospitals are overrun with these babies with NAS – neonatal abstinence syndrome. The Department of Children’s Services can take those babies away, and we do. And even though the numbers are overwhelming, we take each situation one kid at a time.”

Whole families are being pulled in to prescription drug abuse, said Irwin.

“We had a case I called the Disney World case. A family – grandmother, mother and stepdad and 15-yearold daughter – all went to Florida to go to Disney World. While they were in Florida, they bought oxycontin. They came back and every one of them tested positive for the drug – even the grandmother. I took the teenager away and told them that child wasn’t going home with anyone in that family until they were all ‘oxy-clean.’”

In discussing the Vols, Irwin said their performance against Georgia was impressive. “I was certainly proud of those young men last Saturday.

“Just think of what Georgia had to do to win that game. These coaches believe in their system, and they are going to recruit people who fit it. I don’t think we will be asking for too much more patience from the fans, but we will need a little more this year. It’s not going to come together overnight.”

Rotary Club of Farragut meets at noon on Wednesdays at Fox Den Country Club.

News from the Register of Deeds

A strong September

By Sherry Witt After a huge month of commercial property transfers in August, the residential market got going in Sherry Witt September. For the month ending Sept. 30, there were 870 property transfers in Knox County, some 210 more than those recorded during September 2012.

The aggregate value of properties sold fell short of last September’s total by about $48 million, further validating that this September surge was fueled largely by residential sales.

For the month, around $185 million was transferred in Knox County, compared to $232 million last September.

The August commercial boom had produced more than $250 million in sales.

Mortgage lending markets experienced a slowdown as $269 million was loaned against real estate, a decrease of $134 million from August’s totals.

Last September about $308 million went out in mortgages and refinances.

The most notable transfer of the month was a deed for property on Beaver Creek Drive, which sold to Evergreen at the Bluffs LLC for $16.8 million.

The largest mortgage transaction was a Trust Deed financing the same sale for just over $14 million.

As the third quarter of 2013 comes to a close, it continues to be a comparatively good year for the real estate market.

Every month of 2013 thus far has outperformed its 2012 counterpart in terms of property transfers.

It has been the strongest year for property sales since the housing collapse of 2008.

Insurance option is ‘good business’

By Betty Bean For the first time in 25 years, Quality Label & Tag CEO Jim Jennings was offered a rate reduction in his company’s health insurance premiums.

Quality Label, located a block off Clinton Highway, makes pressure-sensitive labels for a wide variety of locally produced products.

When meat packers Selecto, Valleydale and Lay’s were in business, Jennings worked as many as 30 employees on two shifts. Times are tougher now, but he still takes pride in providing good benefits, so he took the insurance offer – for now – to reduce the tab for covering his 17 employees and their dependents.

For many years Jennings paid 100 percent of premiums. Recently, he has required his employees to chip in 10 percent so they would have “skin in the game.”

Now, he has a new decision.

“I can sit right here and do nothing and we can keep what we got,” he said.

“When we first started, I could insure a family of four for $365 a month. Now, it’s $1,600, (about $9 an hour).”

Jennings can negoti-

ate this year because of the Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare).

“I went to people in the insurance business and heard what they had to say, the pros and the cons, and took the information to my accountant,” he said, holding up a multi-page application form for the Small Business Health Care Tax Credit, in effect since 2010.

It is available to businesses that employ fewer than 25 people whose average annual salaries are less ment is more than the total credit can claim a business expense deduction.

Jennings calls the new insurance option “a good business decision,” and said the savings will enable him to offer workers a raise.

“It’s been hard times, and I don’t even have anybody come in here and ask for a raise. They just know.

People feel lucky just to have a job. And with this 50 percent tax credit, we can get some money away from insurance companies to elevate the salaries of working people.”

Jennings, 71, and his two siblings, were raised in North Knoxville and Western Heights by a single

mother who worked hard to barely get by. He dropped out of high school to join the U.S. Army in 1962, and joined the 82nd Airborne Division, making extra money as a paratrooper. He earned his GED while on active duty. He has strong convictions and has been known to take chances on new hires with troubled backgrounds.

While he believes that taking the tax credit is smart, he also believes it’s the right thing to do.

“I think health care is a right. Others think it’s a privilege. … I’ve got two

principles I live by: You’re living – let others. And if it doesn’t make sense, get away from it. Do what’s right.”

Harry Tindell, a former state legislator who earned bipartisan respect in Nashville for his financial and budgetary expertise, is the insurance broker Jennings consulted. Tindell said the composition of Jennings’ workforce – all male with a mix of older and younger workers – makes it wellsuited to benefit from the Small Business Health Care Tax Credit.

“There are winners and losers in this, as with everything,” Tindell said. “A lot of it depends on how healthy your employees are. … Rates are going up for young people, down for older people.”

But at the same time, come January, there’ll be lower deductibles and capped out-of-pocket costs, Tindell said.

“What we’re doing is giving individuals better coverage as a class – postponed for a year for bigger businesses. And if you’re sick and have a modest or average income, you’re going to benefit.”

L&N STEM Academy: Building to the future The STEM Academy inside the historic L&N Station is not just a science and technical school. The STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) thinking approach helps build habits and ways of thinking that people use daily.

“The goal is for all of Knox County graduates to be STEM literate,” said founding principal Becky Ashe. “ S T E Mliterate students are ready to be pro duc t ive Becky Ashe citizens.”

What makes STEM so successful?

Students achieve when they are engaged in what they are learning. Teachers personalize learning and run on a block schedule which allows more time in the classroom. Alternates days of classes provide the

Ruth White

“best of both worlds,” said Ashe.

By alternating class days, teachers are able to provide more project/problem based learning and they have 10 months to get to know their students and their needs. As Tennessee’s first Apple School of Distinction, all students are issued iPads.

Contrast the high-tech learning with the history inside the L&N Station for the best of the past and building for the future. The station is inspirational and students “get it.” Every effort was made to preserve the structure of the building when the school was established.

The original floors are intact

and have welcomed guests such as Franklin Roosevelt and James Agee. The L&N Renovation and Restoration Club is working to pass on the history of the building to new students.

Students are engaged in surveys to help make the school better. “We view this as a laboratory school,” said Ashe. “We study what we’re doing and we adjust to make the school, students and teachers better.”

Teachers are encouraged to publish and attend training workshops to polish their skills and to grow. Professionals within the STEM disciplines are invited to share their knowledge and successes, both in class and at informal lunches with students. “We want students to visualize ‘I can do that’ and know that anyone can be a STEM professional,” said Ashe.

Problem-based learning allows students to work in groups and learn to work

with others during the first year. Each year students add a STEM elective and each chooses a path of learning, participates in work-based scenarios and finishes with a capstone experience.

Students are not handpicked. There is a blind selection process with students chosen via a random lottery. The school’s goal is to move students as far along the learning continuum as possible. The staff is selected to support these goals.

In its inaugural year, 174 students enrolled at STEM. Today, there are 470 students with another 100 expected next year.

STEM isn’t for everyone.

There is a high level of selfdiscipline in an orderly environment. The next sched-

Enjoy Spurrier while you can Tennessee, in search of the elusive signature victory, faces another scary outing in the SEC jungle.

For some strange reason, gamecocks do not sound as dangerous as crazy gators and wounded bulldogs past and red elephants and terrible tigers yet to come.

reminds me of Mac Davis’ great song line, “Oh Lord, it’s hard to be humble when you’re perfect in every way.”

Successful football coaches sometimes get so full of themselves, directing a team and holding fans in the palm of their hands just isn’t enough. They become minidictators.

Let’s use the very successful Spurrier as an example.

Three years ago, the ol’ ball coach was deciding who Marvin could and could not ask quesWest tions at press conferences.

The power grab peaked this summer.

Spurrier plucked and discarded one of Load the cannon for the perceived thorns that had South Carolina. One more been needling him. Columshot at Steve Superior, oops, nist Ron Morris of The State, Spurrier is promising. the newspaper in Columbia, Without even trying, Steve S.C., was ordered by his pub-

lisher, Henry Haitz III, to never again write or talk publicly about the Gamecocks.

Go annoy Clemson.

It was a journalistic restraining order.

Observers didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Spurrier had persuaded good friend Haitz to choke a critic. Freedom of the press was lost. The coach smirked.

The story sprouted wings. Haitz didn’t like the feedback. He eventually rescinded his edict. Spurrier smirked again and went back to throwing visors.

Every other year I think this might be Steven Orr Spurrier’s last visit to Tennessee. He is a high-mileage 68 years old, many times a millionaire with nothing left to prove. We are completely

convinced he can coach.

He has been everywhere and done it all. He has lived in Athens, Newport and Johnson City, played golf at Augusta and been married to the same pretty Jerri for 47 years.

Steve performed brilliantly in high school, won the Heisman Trophy at Florida and twice absconded with significant NFL loot, a stunning amount for disappointing careers as a backup San Francisco quarterback and miscast leader of the Washington Redskins.

As Florida coach, he was great. He directed the Gators to a national title and changed the way we look at college football. He switched quarterbacks willy-nilly. His team presented something called fun ’n gun

which meant they threw when they were supposed to run and scored far more than necessary.

Sometimes Spurrier took it too far. He whipped up on Tennessee and scattered a lot of bratty sarcasm. He was a particular pain for Phillip Fulmer.

In older age, Spurrier has transformed South Carolina into a championship contender, lifting it higher than it has previously been.

I suppose he enjoys the distinction, power and perks.

Spurrier receives $3.55 million but no longer accepts football raises. He says he is embarrassed by how much he makes.

He is not flawless. Steve isn’t much for accepting blame. He still gets red-faced when breaks go against him.

Now and then he tosses a player or assistant coach under the proverbial bus. He was so bad on a recent TV

show, some friends and foes thought he was impaired.

That is code for hung over.

Producers cancelled reruns and removed the show from public accessibility.

That did not eliminate the smirk. Spurrier looks as if he knows stuff he isn’t telling. Maybe he is laughing inside because his job is not as tough as we all pretend. Do you think he is a workaholic? Do you believe he keeps going over game film until he falls asleep on the office couch?

Down deep, I like the guy.

He is entertaining. He can bring tears with a hokey pregame pep talk. He is capable of extended pleas with officials when he knows he is wrong.

See him at the big stadium. He is worth at least half the cost of admission. An upset knockout by the Vols would be worth much more.

Living in a ‘magical place’

By Betsy Pickle For months, half the news out of South Knoxville has seemed to contain some reference to the Urban Wilderness. It has been a bone of contention. It has been called Knoxville’s “crown jewel,” a “quality-of-life enhancement” and CPR for the ailing economic heart of isolated South Knox.

But even for many who live close to it, it has seemed as remote as Timbuktu, as mythical as Shangri-La. Where is it? How do you get there?

Karen Fletcher is happy to answer those questions.

A native South Knoxvillian whose family has had property on Sevierville Pike for generations, Fletcher walks about 100 yards from her back door to the trailhead of the Chain Ring Trail, one of the many stretches that make up the 42 miles of trails in the Urban Wilderness.

(Those setting out on their own can park at Anderson School on Prospect Road.)

She’s an unofficial ambassador for the UW, eagerly volunteering to lead groups and individuals into the peaceful forest where she played as a child. And with fall colors starting to tint local leaves – and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park off-limits due to the government shutdown – last week felt like the perfect opportunity to take advantage of her generosity.

When she was a kid, the trails in the woods behind

her house were ones she and her younger brother, Dennis Farmer, made. Now, she walks (and sometimes runs – “terribly,” she says) on trails cleared by members of the Appalachian Mountain Bike Club. AMBC president Brian Hann bought a big chunk of the family property several years ago and is her friend and neighbor.

“It’s a footpath,” she says, leading the way onto Chain Ring, which quickly intersects with other trails.

“That’s all it is supposed to

Gatehouse Antique Market 620 N. Campbell Station Rd., Knoxville • 675-1033

Fall Harvest Sale

be. It’s supposed to have a low environmental impact.”

The trail rises, falls and rises. Fletcher indicates several sinkholes, some no bigger than a gopher hole, others the size of a manhole. She takes a side path to reveal one that’s at least 30 feet deep.

In this limestone-riddled area, sinkholes are common.

“Limestone melts from the inside,” she explains.

Fletcher mentions the James White Parkway extension – presumed dead but still awaiting the coffin’s final nail – which would have “taken out” her house as well as her mother and brother’s neighboring homes.

NEWS FROM PAIDEIA ACADEMY OF KNOXVILLE

Paideia welcomes grandparents Paideia Academy hosted its annual Grandparents Day the last Friday in September in honor of those who love, nurture and inspire its students. It was a beautiful, warm fall day, perfect for the giant tent with seating for 400 guests on the recreational field at the top of Paideia’s campus.

Grandparents and special friends joined the students for presentations, open house and lunch.

The morning program was a fun game of Family Feud, testing the students’ knowledge of their grandparents’ era, interspersed with student recitations of poetry, history, Bible

verses from memory and songs. Afterward, grandparents were invited to tour the campus, visit the classrooms and meet the teachers. Everyone also had the opportunity to have a family photo taken. The event concluded with a catered lunch from We’re Cooking for the entire student body, their grandparents and special friends, and parents and siblings.

Everyone seemed to enjoy the program and lunch with their grandchildren.

“Our school environment has a close family feel to it, so these extended family members play an important role,” said

Headmaster James Cowart.

“It is a real blessing to host them for this huge campus event.”

Grandparents generously donated $10,170 toward a $10,000 matching gift in celebration of the school’s 10th anniversary for a total contribution of $20,170 toward the school’s Annual Fund. They also committed to continue to serve and pray for the students and teachers at Paideia Academy.

Paideia Academy is grateful for the grandparents and their support, as well as the event sponsors: Campbell Tent and Party Rentals, We’re Cooking, Bodie Photo and Tapestry Photographs.

Paideia grandparents gather with coffee and await the student presentations.

Ultimate Frisbee!

Paideia Academy kicked off a new sport last week as 11 students formed the school’s first Ultimate Frisbee team and took to the fields. The team is one of eight high school teams currently competing in Knoxville Youth Ultimate this season. The Paideia Knights had a big opener with a 13-0 win over Central, followed by a tough 8-9 loss to Bearden in overtime. With former Hornets coach David Middlebrook leading their team, the Knights are looking forward to a strong season.

3-D mammogram detects cancer that standard mammogram missed To say that the threat of breast cancer was on her mind would be an understatement. Melissa Lonas, an active, engaging woman in her 60s, knew that she was at risk for developing breast cancer. In 2005, her older sister, Cindy, passed away after undergoing treatment for the disease. Her younger sister, Rusti, elected to have a prophylactic (preventative) bilateral mastectomy in 2006 after atypical cells were found in her breast tissue. For these reasons, Lonas was diligent about performing self breast exams and receiving regular mammograms.

The results of Lonas’ routine mammogram in January 2012 came back negative, but because of her family history and the fact that she had more glandular, or “dense,” breast tissue, she was encouraged to have an MRI done to double check for abnormalities. She attempted to have the scan done at another East Tennessee area hospital, but had to stop mid-procedure because of shoulder pain from a prior injury.

Being unaware of additional detection options, Lonas returned home and reassured herself that she didn’t need another screening.

After all, the mammogram had not found any cancer.

One day while shopping, Lonas ran into her friend Nean Walker, who was also her mammogram technician at the Parkwest Comprehensive Breast Center. “I told Nean that I couldn’t follow through with the MRI and I asked her if there was any other option for me,” explained Lonas. “That’s when she told me about tomosynthesis, a new cancer detecting technology that was only available at Parkwest. She encouraged me to have it done just to put my mind at ease.”

‘Tomosynthesis is 3-D digital mammography that gives a clearer picture of the breast, especially for women with dense breast tis-

The American Cancer Society (ACS) estimates that there will be approximately 5,070 new cases of breast cancer in Tennessee in 2013. Excluding cancers of the skin, breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in women and it is also a major cause of cancer death in women, second only to lung cancer. For this reason, breast health and preventative care should be of utmost importance to every woman. sue,” explains Parkwest radiologist Amanda Squires, M.D. On a mammogram, dense tissue appears white, much like a tumor. This can lead to a false positive result, causing unnecessary additional screenings, biopsies and anxiety for the patient.

“It’s like looking for a single snowflake in the middle of a snowstorm,” said Squires, describing the difficulty of finding cancer in a dense tissue breast with a regular mammogram. In contrast, tomosynthesis produces several 3-D images of the breast from different angles, making it easier to detect cancer.

Lonas immediately scheduled the tomosynthesis screening and

was surprised that the whole procedure took only a few minutes to complete when she went in on Aug. 12, 2012. The results showed that Lonas had a small tumor in one

the fact that Lonas had dense breast tissue. The tomosynthesis caught the cancer just in time to begin aggressive treatment.

On Sept. 10, 2012, Lonas underwent a bilateral mastectomy followed by nearly two months of radiation therapy to further reduce her chances of redeveloping breast cancer. Today, she is grateful that she ran into Nean Walker that fateful day last summer. breast. A biopsy confirmed that “I just would have let it go if I hadn’t the tumor was malignant grade 2 talked to Nean,” said Lonas. “Had breast cancer located just outside she not encouraged me to try tomothe duct gland. Squires believes synthesis at Parkwest, the cancer that the tumor had been missed by might not have been discovered the traditional mammogram earlier until it was too late. I encourage that year because of its location and every woman, especially those with

a family history of breast cancer or dense breasts, to have tomosynthesis done in addition to a traditional mammogram.”

Dr. Squires is hopeful that 3-D mammography will become the new standard in breast cancer screening and detection, and that may not be too far in the future. The state of Tennessee recently passed legislation (effective Jan. 1, 2014) stating that all breast centers must inform patients if they have dense breast tissue so those patients may seek additional cancer screening options like tomography if they choose. “A recent study confirmed that tomosynthesis increases detection of breast cancer by 35 percent and detection of invasive cancer by 53 percent. It’s hard to argue with results like that,” said Squires.

While it has received FDA approval, 3-D mammography is not yet covered by all insurance plans. The cost of the procedure is $125. Lonas maintains that “it was the best money (she) ever spent.”

Parkwest Comprehensive Breast Center The Parkwest Comprehensive Breast Center is recognized as a Breast Center of Excellence by the American College of Radiology (ACR). The Center is proud to offer a multi-disciplinary program, including screenings, breast cancer diagnosis, treatment and

counseling. This comprehensive approach and use of the most advanced technology has helped to save countless lives of women in our area. The ACS reports that death rates for breast cancer have steadily decreased in women since 1989 as a result of progress in ear-

Should I get an ultrasound instead of tomosynthesis?

Parkwest does not perform ultrasound to screen for breast cancer because there is tremendous overlap in the appearance of small breast cancers and normal breast tissue which makes definitive diagnosis difficult. This results in a false sense of security when a negative result is obtained and undue alarm, anxiety and patient expense when benign areas are identified and biopsied. Also, some of the earliest forms of breast cancer can only be seen using mammography. Experts agree that mammography currently provides the best balance in early identification of cancer while not falsely alarming patients.

lier detection and improved treatment. The Comprehensive Breast Center proudly provides services such as: ■Dig ita l mammography – X-ray images of the breast to spot possible problems.

■ Tomog r aphy – 3-D digital mammography that produces several 3-D images of the breast from different angles, especially recommended for women with dense breast tissue or high cancer risk ■ Breast ultrasound – uses sound waves to detect any inconsistencies ■ Stereotactic biopsy – a minimally invasive procedure that serves as an alternate to open surgery biopsy.

■ Multidisciplinary Breast Conference to expedite treatment and plan of care.

■ Breast Health Coor-

dinator, an RN who specializes in helping breast patients through treatment to recovery.

Although breast cancer can’t be prevented at the present time, early detection of problems provides the greatest possibility of successful treatment. That’s why it’s so important to follow this three-step plan for preventive care.

1.) Breast Self Exams (BSE) 2.) Clinical Breast Exams (CBE), and 3.) Mammography Mammography can often detect breast cancer at an early stage, when treatment is more effective and a cure is more likely. Although it is a very accurate screening tool for women at both average and increased risk, mammography will not detect all breast cancers in women without symptoms. The sensitivity of the

test is lower for women with dense breasts. However, newer technologies have shown promising developments for women with dense breast tissue. Tomography, or 3-D digital mammography, has significantly improved cancer detection for women with dense breasts.

Regardless of the detection method, once breast cancer is diagnosed, a Parkwest Breast Health Coordinator can help patients formulate the best treatment plan for each unique situation. According to the ACS, the five-year relative survival rate for female invasive breast cancer patients has improved from 75 percent in the mid-1970s to 90 percent today.* The Parkwest Comprehensive Breast Center is proud to have contributed to that increase in survival over time due to its advanced screening, diagnosis and treatment procedures.

Blessed pets A recent beautiful Sunday afternoon was the setting for the Blessing of the Animals at St. James Episcopal Church on North Broadway.

A crowd of about 40 came with their pets to enjoy the stunning weather and participate in the ceremony.

“It’s always wonderful to see the controlled chaos,” said parish administrator and long-time church member Marilyn Canady, remarking upon “the blessing that all God’s creatures are to us.”

Begun by Britain’s Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in 1975, animal blessing ceremonies reflect a growing concern for the welfare of other species.

They are held by many Christian denominations around the world on the Sunday closest to Oct. 4, the feast day of St. Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals.

“May God bless you and

Carol’s Corner may you continue to be a sign and witness to God’s love in the world,” said the Rev. John Mark Wiggers as he laid his hand on each beloved furry head. The blessing recipients included mostly dogs, but also cats and several horses.

“We’ve been doing this every year for about ten years,” said Canady, “So put it on your calendar!”

Eight-year-old Sarah Walton and Autumn Dunning, who is 5, nuzzle their new best friend, Icelandic horse Fluga. Both girls later enjoyed solo rides.

Five-year-old Autumn Dunning, daughter of Catherine Dunning and Danny Pili of North Knoxville, takes a ride on Fluga while handler Dan Bentrup holds the reins.
