It’s only money Some mistakes cost more than others. My primary political consultant veered from e-mail research, replacement health care and risky immigrants to report that the feds have begun surveillance of Tennessee. It seems the university has discovered ways to spend money that Washington had not previously considered. That is very unsettling, borderline traumatic.

Rob Followell
By Sandra Clark Change is coming to Tennova North where CEO Rob Followell is leaving after four and a half years to take a job with more responsibility in Winchester, Tenn. Followell has been active in the business community as well as a dynamic recruiter of physicians to the area. As Tennova has grown, so has the Emory Road corridor at I-75 with a Kroger Marketplace and related businesses under construction. Followell says the Mercy Health System “was brilliant to purchase all this land. We have room to grow.�
He’s proud that every physicians group in town has located at or near Tennova North, and he calls the hospital “a business anchor for Powell.� “Rob has proven to be an exceptionally effective and creative leader both at North Knoxville Medical Center and throughout our community,� said Tennova CEO Neil Heatherly. “We will miss his many and varied talents.� His last day with Tennova is Jan. 15. In an interview last week, Followell said he is sad to leave Knox County. “I like this area and the people here.� But moving to Winchester will
put him closer to his mother, who is in declining health. And Rob was impacted by the death of his father-in-law at age 67 last year. “The older I get I realize that I’ve got less time to do (what matters). Khristina and I have made 2016 our year of joy. We will focus on what we do best.� Heatherly said Tennova will move quickly to replace Followell. Meanwhile, Andrew Mueller, North Knoxville Medical Center’s assistant CEO, will serve as interim chief executive. In Winchester, Followell will oversee four hospitals as market president of the Southern Ten-
Noe brings ‘Ride and Decide’ to life By Sandra Clark Halls guy Gordy Noe has created an apprentice program that’s gained attention nationwide. He’s hosting an open house today (9 a.m. Wednesday, Jan. 13) at Lincoln Park Technology Center, 535 Chickamauga Avenue. Invited are employers, schools and parents from all counties. The Ride and Decide program is offered to high school sophomores and juniors, and Noe is working fast to recruit enough skilled trades professionals to accommodate all the kids who enroll. He spoke last week to the North Knoxville Rotary Club at Litton’s. Last year’s pilot program in Knox County served 42 students in 20 businesses. Noe expects it to double locally this summer. He’s also presented the program to trade groups in
other states. “For every four skilled workers that leave the skilled trades industries, only one is entering the field,� Noe said. “Not everyone needs to go to college.� Noe himself preferred business to book-learning. Now his Pioneer Heat and Air employs 40-plus people and Noe has “done OK,� but he wryly admits that the first 20 years Gordy Noe were spent “trying to figure out how to stay in business.� Ride and Decide enables kids 16 and older to spend four weeks in two different trades during summer break. Their work might range from sweeping up to lunch with the boss, he
said, and kids will learn quickly whether they want to pursue that career path. “If a kid learns he really doesn’t want to crawl under houses, then the program has worked,� said Noe. But if the kid likes it, he or she has found their calling. An established skilled worker can earn $40,000 to $75,000 a year, he said. And they start with no college debt. Many trades offer apprentice training – essentially “four years of paid learning.� (A Rotarian whispered that he will cost him $225,000 to send his kid to dental school.) Noe is the local president of PlumbingHeating-Cooling Contractors (PHCC). He said students and employers can sign up online at RideAndDecide.com. Anyone with a specific question can contact him at 865-922-2871.
McIntyre supporter comes after Armstrong By Betty Bean There are no exclamation points on the email that went out to several dozen A-list recipients the day after James McIntyre announced his resignation as super intendent of Knox County Schools. But its author, Cornerstone Foundation Tulloch president Laurens Tulloch, conveyed a clear sense of urgency via the not-for-profit foundation’s email account. The subject line reads: “Crisis Regarding School Board – Request for Your Attention.� Tulloch praised McIntyre, whom he said is taking this selfless action for the good of the children. “Yet, as Dr. McIntyre said in his
resignation, ‘We stand today at a strange place where educationally we are more successful than ever, yet politically there seems to be more negativity and noise.’ “Dr. McIntyre resigned rather than to remain the lightning rod for that negativity, so that hopefully the focus can be put back on what is best for the future of all of our children.� Then Tulloch turned his attention to the race for law director in the March 1 Knox County Republican primary. “We also have the opportunity to do something about removing some of that negativity and noise from decisions surrounding our school system. There is a crucial election coming up on March 1 where the Knox County Law Director will be chosen. The choice is between the incumbent, Bud Armstrong, and the challenger,
Nathan Rowell. “One of the biggest reasons that drove Dr. McIntyre to resign was the politics being played on school board issues by the current law director.� Tulloch urged his recipients to compare the credentials of both candidates, describing Rowell as “a professional not a politician,� and Armstrong as “a continual thorn in the side of the current school board majority.� “I ask you to examine the professional credentials and experience of each candidate, and I hope you conclude to help do anything within your power to elect Nathan Rowell. The timing of contributions is crucial for success right now, and if you are so inclined, the details of how to contribute are at the bottom of this message.

nessee Regional Health System. He will be CEO of hospitals in Winchester and Sewanee and will oversee operations of the hospitals in Lawrenceburg and Pulaski. He said Lifepoint Hospitals is a spin-off of Hospital Corporation of America where he previously worked. He will be reunited with old friends and business colleagues. Locally, Followell was vice president of the Powell Business and Professional Association. He was president of the Anderson County Chamber of Commerce and a member of North Knoxville Rotary Club.
works.� Early voting starts Feb. 10. Tulloch urged his recipients to act quickly, and to send checks to Rowell’s home address. “Each individual can contribute up to $1,500, which means $3,000 per couple, per election. An online donation button hasn’t been added yet. Sending a check saves over three percent in transaction fees, and does not have the transferring limitations that online options provide.� Tulloch also endorsed District 2 school board candidate Grant Standefer and District 5 candidate Buddy Pelot and gave their home addresses. Nathan Rowell, who is a partner at Watson, Roach, Batson, Rowell & Lauderback, a firm that specializes in government work, said he had no involvement in, or advance knowledge of Tulloch’s email.

health & lifestyles NEWS FROM PARKWEST, WEST KNOXVILLE’S HEALTHCARE LEADER • TREATEDWELL.COM • 374-PARK
When should I go to the emergency department? According to the latest government statistics, approximately 136 million people are treated in U.S. emergency departments (EDs) every year. These patients are treated for a wide variety of medical conditions. How do you decide when a medical condition rises to the level of an emergency? The American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) offers the following list of warning signs that indicate when something may be a medical emergency: ■ Difficulty breathing, shortness of breath ■ Chest or upper abdominal pain or pressure ■ Fainting, sudden dizziness, weakness ■ Changes in vision ■ Confusion or changes in mental status ■ Any sudden or severe pain ■ Uncontrolled bleeding ■ Severe or persistent vomiting or diarrhea ■ Coughing or vomiting blood ■ Suicidal feelings ■ Difficulty speaking ■ Shortness of breath ■ Unusual abdominal pain “If you think you or a loved one
might be experiencing a medical emergency, come to the ED to have a doctor examine you,” says Parkwest Emergency Department Medical Director Troy Mitchell, MD. “If you think the condition is lifethreatening or the person’s condition will worsen on the way to the hospital, you need to call 911 so the local Emergency Medical Services (EMS) provider can come to you. The goal of the Parkwest ED is to ensure that every patient is seen by a provider within 30 minutes of arrival.” The Parkwest Emergency Department sees patients based on the severity of their illnesses or injuries, not first-come, first-served. To get the best care as quickly as possible, note the following advice: ■ Bring a list of medications and allergies. What’s the name of the medication you are taking? How often do you take it and for how long? A list of allergies is important, especially if you have many. Be sure to include medications, foods, insects or any other product that may cause an allergic reaction. Parkwest can provide wallet-sized medication info cards free of charge if you’d like one. To get a medication info card, ask anyone in the ED or contact Parkwest Marketing at 373-1000.
Cold or When you wake up sneezing, coughing, and have that achy, feverish, can’t-move-a-muscle feeling, how do you know whether you have a cold or the flu? While it can be hard to tell, it’s important to know the difference between the symptoms. A cold is a milder respiratory illness that can make you feel badly for a few days, while the flu can make you feel very sick for a few days to weeks. The flu can also result in serious health problems such as pneumonia which may require hospitalization.
■ Know your immunizations. These immunizations mainly include Tetanus, Flu and Hepatitis B for adults. ■ Remain calm. It is difficult to remain composed if you’ve been badly injured, but a calm attitude can help improve communication with the doctors and nurses who are caring for you. ■ If you think you or a loved one is experiencing a cardiac emergency, call 911. EMS personnel and ambulances are prepared to handle these types of emergencies and can start some treatment modalities while en route to Parkwest. Plus, we’ll know you’re coming and can triage you faster than if you come on your own. “Communication is important when you arrive at an emergency department,” says Mitchell. “As an ED physician, I want to know as much about the patient as I can as quickly as I can, so the proper treatment can begin. There can be long waits in all EDs as doctors and nurses tend to those with the most severe conditions first. Tell us if your level of pain increases or if there is any change in your condition while you’re waiting so we may better meet your needs.”

What are common cold symptoms? Cold symptoms usually begin with a sore throat, which usually goes away after a day or two. Nasal symptoms, like a runny nose or congestion, follow with a cough by the fourth and fifth days. Fever is not typical in adults. Cold symptoms may cause watery nasal secretions for the first few days. Later, these secretions may become thicker and darker. Dark mucus is natural and does not always mean you have developed a bacterial infection.

Enjoying a rare bird One off the O h reall jjoys off birding is to find and get great looks at the occasional rare, unusual, or hard-tofind bird, and wintertime is often a good time to discover a rare bird or two.
servation ever of one there in the Noxubee Refuge. Red-cockaded woodpeckers are busy little guys intermediate in size between downy and hairy woodpeckers. Instead of the white backs and black faces of those two, the redcockadeds have black backs with white barring, and big white patches on their faces. The red cockades that give these birds their name are little red marks on the side of their heads, so small that they are seldom visible. Red-cockaded woodpeckers are scarce because they are very picky about where they will live. They make their nest holes only in large, mature pine trees that are from at least 60 to 120 years of age. Of the 60 to 90 million acres of oldgrowth longleaf pine savannah that once covered the Southeast, only about 3 million acres remain; the rest has been cut for timber and cleared for agriculture and housing, or broken up into little patches or small groves of the big trees. So, it turns out, there is less than 1 percent left of the habitat these birds insist upon as a decent place to live. The nest holes are a curious thing in themselves. The birds select a big, old tree that has what is called red heart rot, a fungal disease that softens the heartwood. They take an amazing 1 to 3 or more years to excavate any given nest hole. And then they peck the tree all around the hole to make the tree ooze sap, coating the whole trunk in the area of the hole with a whitewash of sticky pine rosin. This apparently protects the nest from their most dreaded predator, those skillful treeclimbers, the rat snakes. And the birds require more than just a little patch of the big trees – each of their family groups, with a batch of nest trees called a “cluster,” takes around 200 acres of old-growth pine forest to meet their nesting and foraging needs. And speaking of family groups – in addition to being choosy about their real estate, they also have some peculiar social habits, at least for birds. The family unit consists of a male and female pair that own the nest and produce the usual 3 or 4 eggs, but in addition, there are 1 to 4 helper birds, usually young single male birds from the previous year’s batch. They really do help, staying with the family and joining in with incubating the eggs and then feeding
Dr. Bob Collier
In the winter, one of the more dependable families of birds that we can count on being around is the woodpeckers. And of the eight species of woodpeckers that can be found here in the Southeast in winter, one of those fits the above description to a “T.” Motoring out on a roundabout route from Powell to north Alabama for the holidays, Grandma and I did a bird-watching loop through the state of Mississippi the week before Christmas. One of our prime scheduled stops was a day at the 48,000-acre Noxubee National Wildlife Refuge, located about 20 miles south of Starkville. It has ponds and lakes full of wintering waterfowl, mowed agricultural fields with opencountry birds, and lots of woods, including old-growth pine forest – just what our Bird of the Trip, the endangered red-cockaded woodpecker, ordered. Red-cockaded woodpeckers are found nowhere in the world other than the southeastern United States. They are widely scattered from Virginia and North Carolina south into Florida, and west into Texas and Arkansas. Sadly, you needn’t look for one in Tennessee. They once lived in a few counties in our state, but the last known one was a lonely male that was nesting down in Polk County, in the farthest southeast county in Tennessee. Discovered in 1991, he was gone by 1994, and as far as anybody knows, there are no others. There aren’t that many red-cockaded woodpeckers anywhere. From a low of perhaps 4,000 birds when they were placed on the Endangered Species List in 1970, and with a lot of expert help and attention, they have come back to a total of maybe 12,500 today. Through the years, Grandma and I have been fortunate enough to see them in North Carolina, South Carolina and Florida. But we got our best and closest ob-

Marrow drive for Olivia Glenn
the new hatchlings. This makes an active, chattering family group of several birds if you are lucky enough to find them. Visitors to a place like the Noxubee Refuge will find active red-cockaded nest trees marked with a ring of paint; once you see those, the rosin-coated trunks and nest holes become obvious. There at Noxubee, a few days before Christmas, we walked through an area like that, a park-like place with big stately pines and almost no undergrowth. Numerous nest trees were marked with rings of white paint. Our ears perked up when we came upon a mixed flock of foraging birds, including red- and white-breasted nuthatches, singing pine
warblers, even a spiffy redheaded woodpecker. Then we heard it – the chittering call of a red-cockaded woodpecker! And there it was – hooray! – some 12 feet up in one of the big pines, ripping off half-dollar flakes of bark as it searched industriously for hidden insect snacks in the nooks and crannies. We stood and watched the rare bird, and ooh’ed and aah’ed, for 10 minutes or so. Our day was happily made! Only two woodpeckers have been on the Endangered Species List – the ivory-billed and the redcockaded. It was too late for the ivory-billed; with the red-cockaded, perhaps the warning was sounded in time.

It’s just money Some mistakes cost more than others. My primary political consultant veered from email research, replacement health care and risky immigrants to report that the feds have begun surveillance of Tennessee. It seems the university has discovered ways to spend money that Washington had not previously considered. That is very unsettling, borderline traumatic. The UT diversity department started it with the quirky lesson on pronouns. That generated world-wide attention and several snickers. Feds flinched. Who would have thought the public would pay for that? Next came the putdown of Santa Claus and the ban on Christmas parties. Oh my. The chancellor’s reaction hinted that he was surprised
Marvin West
to learn he had a diversity department and that it said and did things without senior supervision. Surely he didn’t know millions were spilling down that drain. A state senator has promised to stop the leak. The UT athletic department, never known for total thrift, took up the spending spotlight initiative. It will pay at least $1.05 million to a trio of former athletic trainers in a settlement of a pay discrimination lawsuit. This does not constitute admission of guilt. Oh no. This is just legal gymnastics to make an inconvenient
situation go away. Spending is often contagious. Butch Jones sent old friend and defensive coordinator John Jancek packing. Cost projection is in excess of $600,000, counting bowl bonus. The shocking part was Jancek had been part of the best coaching staff in America. So said Butch himself. Suddenly, the head coach needed better than best. And he got it. Dave Hart, who prefers to be identified by his full title, Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics, handed Butch the keys to the vault. Just a few minutes ago, there wasn’t much in there but now it is apparently overflowing. Amazing what the SEC Network has done. The purchase of Bob Shoop from Penn State is going to cost something
more than $1.3 million per year. “Whatever it takes,� said Hart, more or less. “Football is very important.� Shoop’s pay will more than double the previous high Tennessee has spent for an assistant coach. No, this is not excess. It is a market adjustment. Defensive coordinators cost more than they used to cost, lots more than Sal Sunseri was paid four years ago. Some are better. Paying Shoop what he is worth means raises for other assistants to encourage cooperation and harmony. No, there was no mention of Butch covering part of the increase from his new $4-million contract and other gains. That only happens in the movies. Tennessee athletics spends, on occasions, other dollars without significant returns. Recruiting is very expensive. Recruiting errors damage the balance sheet. Pressing for early commit-
ments that will eventually be thrown back for commitments with more stars adds to the inefficiency. Sometimes spending just doesn’t work out. Think what it cost to lure spectacular prep quarterback Sheriron Jones from Perris, Calif., to downtown Knoxville, how many flights, how many meals, how many nights of lodging. It turned out Tennessee had no need for Sheriron. It had too many quarterbacks
and another good one coming in. Jones was a redshirt Volunteer for a few months but you never saw him. After that, he went away. Enormous losses are possible if you hire the wrong basketball coach. Stop right there! Surveillance cancelled. My consultant says the feds want no part of hiring the wrong guy. Been there and done that. Marvin West invites reader reaction. His address is westwest6@netzero.com

and she thinks the school board needs to work with the state to make changes. The same goes for teachers being evaluated based on test scores. “We want teachers to be excited about teaching. Kids will feed off of that.� Asked her opinion about charter schools, Horn said they may be appropriate for some areas, but she agreed with the school board’s December decision to deny Emerald Academy’s request for an additional 10 students. She doesn’t think Knox County needs vouchers. The magnet system and transfer process allow for enough school choice, she says. “Everyone needs to be concerned with public
schools, and the money needs to go there.� When it comes to election vs. appointment for the school superintendent, Horn thinks the board should appoint. But after four years, there should be a referendum on the ballot so voters can decide if he or she stays. She’s been studying community schools and thinks they may be the most effective way to meet the needs of low income students and families. There are currently 10 Great Schools Partnership Community Schools and two University of Tennessee-assisted Community Schools. Horn’s opponents are Buddy Pelot and Lori Boudreaux.

Look locally to fill Knox job Knox County school board will take a year and hire a search firm to find a director of schools, following the surprise announcement by Dr. Jim McIntyre that he’s stepping down in July. But board members should look first at surrounding counties, especially Blount and Union where Dr. Mike Winstead (Maryville) and Dr. Jimmy Carter are doing great work to manage local school districts. A third choice is Dr. Donna Wright, director of

Carter’s Union County record is impressive: ■ He operates the school Sandra system within its budget Clark and has healed wounds with the county commission. ■ He has implemented state and federal standards without the all-out revolt schools in Wilson County.

The most recent state tests showed marked improvement in value added assessments, and two schools were ranked as “rewards schools.” Sure, Union County has a ways to go in both funding and academic achievement. But Carter and the school board have the system on the right track, and kids will benefit from their efforts. Knox County educators could learn from Union County – at least those who don’t think they already know everything.

Here comes Zane By Sandra Clark When Gov. Bill Haslam announced appointments to state boards and commissions last week, one name jumped out. That’s the younger son of U.S. Zane Duncan Rep. Jimmy and Lynn Duncan, Zane Duncan, age 30-something. He was named to the state Board of Parole – one of seven members to serve a 6-year term at annual pay of $95,136 plus full benefits. Duncan graduated from Lincoln Memorial Univer-
sity in 2008 with a degree in kinesiology, according to the college’s website. He took a job in public relations with the R.J. Corman Railroad Group, a short-line firm based in Nicholasville, Ky., where he works as a lobbyist in six states and Washington, D.C. Melissa McDonald, parole board spokesperson, said members are expected to work full time. After several weeks of extensive training, new members will start hearing cases. “We hear 17,000 cases a year, as the law makes people eligible for parole. Traditionally, the board paroles about one-third of those eligible.”
The board itself is budgeted for $7.3 million which includes expenses for the seven board members. Each has an office in his/her home county and one assistant. “Board members formerly traveled to prisons,” said McDonald. “Now we hold hearings by webcam. They’re live and face-to-face.” An online check shows how Haslam is reshaping the board. He appointed former state Rep. Richard Montgomery in January 2013 and named him chair in July 2013. Also in 2013, Haslam appointed former Bradley County Sheriff (2006-10) Tim Gobble and retired Nashville police officer Gary Faulcon.
In 2014, Haslam appointed Barrett Rich, a threeterm state representative and former state trooper who did not seek re-election to take the job. Remaining on the board is Gay Gregson, a special education teacher who ran a HoneyBaked Ham café in Jackson. Now Duncan and Roberta Kustoff, a former Bushappointed prosecutor from Memphis, have joined the board. It’s a job somebody’s got to do, but with the salary and benefits package it’s more than just another volunteer opportunity. “We’ve got all ages and walks of life,” said McDonald. With a tilt toward former cops and Republican politicians, it seems.
Playing the ‘what if’ game University of Tennessee Athletic Director Dave Hart barely had time to savor the Vols’ Outback Bowl blowout before UT announced it had settled the pay discrimination cases filed by Jenny Moshak, Heather Mason and Collin Schlosser at a cost of up to $1.225 million. Add that to the $320,000 already awarded to former women’s sports information director Debby Jennings, who was forced to retire in 2012, and Hart’s actions toward employees of the now defunct Women’s Athletic Department have cost UT more than $1.5 million. Now that the merger of the two departments is complete, only two of the 10 members of Hart’s executive staff are women, one of whom is his secretar y/administrative assistant. Moshak, the former associate director of sports medicine, and Mason and Schlosser, strength coaches for women’s athletics, were originally hired by the Women’s Athletics Department. Jennings was the WAD’s sports information director since before there was a WAD, and was an associate athletic director. Jennings has authored two books, Moshak, one;

and since no gag orders were imposed on any of the plaintiffs, we have probably not heard the last word on this. On Jan. 6, UT troubleshooter Margie Nichols had to clarify a story about a complaint charging UT with mishandling sexual violence cases. Nichols explained that the second complaint was actually related to the one that put UT on a list of schools whose handling of such cases is under investigation by the feds. Nichols is good at her job, but still, the case couldn’t help but highlight the multiple recent sexual assault allegations against UT athletes. And then Hart must watch out for those pesky “Save Lady Vols” folks, who have gotten a bill to reinstate the name filed in the General Assembly, which opens for business this week and is generally irritated at the university for a host of offenses, both real and imagined.
Once upon a time the University of Tennessee was a national leader in women’s college athletics, a role model of gender equity that confounded preconceived notions of backward hillbilly ways. UT wasn’t doing half bad on the men’s side, either, and winning the 1998 national championships in football and women’s basketball pretty much made Tennessee the envy of the NCAA. It was common wisdom that the Lady Vol brand, which former Women’s AD Joan Cronan often compared to the McDonald’s arches, was the most recognized brand in women’s athletics, and the separate men’s and women’s athletics departments coexisted amicably, probably because of Cronan’s tact and Pat Summitt’s rock star persona. And there’s where the “what if” game comes in. Despite Cronan’s protestations, by 2010, UT was hell bent to combine the two athletics departments – long before Dave Hart came on the scene, and before Summitt announced that she has early onset Alzheimer’s disease. Chancellor Jimmy Cheek would have had to channel Car-
nac the Magnificent to have foreseen the mess that was coming his way. But it didn’t have to happen. If Summitt had been well, she would have been deeply involved in the AD search. She would surely have picked up the phone and called some people who worked for Hart when he was AD at Florida State – her friend Chris Gobrecht, the former women’s basketball coach whom Hart called “unladylike” and suspended for getting a technical foul. Or maybe volleyball coach Cecile Reynaud, who decided, rather suddenly, to retire during Hart’s tenure. And maybe she would have called Gobrecht’s predecessor Marynell Meadors, an old-time rival from the days when Meadors coached at Middle Tennessee State. No doubt Summitt would have found out about the accusation that Hart mishandled a sexual assault case. Better vetting would have led to a better AD, and this Monday, Alabama guy Dave Hart would have been wearing crimson and hollering “Roll Tide” instead of worrying about what those women are going to do next.

The cast of 14 candidates on the ballot (which may be reduced by March 1) will attract a record turnout for Trump, Rubio, Bush, Cruz, Kasich, Christie, Paul and others. The Knox GOP primary, which normally might be 30,000, may exceed 75,000 this year. Decisions made on these other contests will impact Knox County for many years. How will these new voters vote on the offices down the ballot? No one has a clue. How do county commission candidates appeal to Trump, Rubio and/or Cruz voters? One of the two countywide races is for law director between incumbent Bud Armstrong and challenger Nathan Rowell. No Democrat has fi led for the August general election so the March 1 winner becomes the odds-on favorite in the August general election. Over coffee at Starbucks, Rowell met with this writer a few weeks ago. Rowell, 46, lives downtown on the waterfront where he is on the board of City People and is a member of the Watson Roach law firm. He has practiced law 20 years having graduated from West High School in 1987. He is active at Church Street Methodist Church where he chairs the board of trustees. He is immediate past president of the Wesley House Community Center in Lonsdale where he oversaw its growth from 6,000 to a 26,000 square feet facility. He is presidentelect of the Community School of the Arts. He clerked for the late appellate judge and Republican state Senate leader Houston Goddard before going into private practice. Armstrong is well versed and liked in Knox GOP politics having served on county commission and as

law director since defeating the incumbent in the 2012 GOP primary. If re-elected, this will be his second and final term due to term limits. Armstrong is the strong favorite to win in six weeks. Since Mayor Burchett leaves office Aug. 31, 2018, whoever wins this election will work with two county mayors as the term goes to end of August 2020. ■ District 4: The Nystrom, Ownby, Testerman GOP contest for county commission in the West Knoxville-West Knox County district has many voter conflicted, especially between Testerman and Nystrom. Yard signs have gone up everywhere starting in early December. The district goes from Sequoyah Hills to Bluegrass. However, no one seems more conflicted than Realtor John Trotter, who lives in the former Dulin Art Gallery House at 3106 Kingston Pike. He has both a Nystrom and Testerman sign at opposite ends of his spacious yard on the heavily traveled Pike. When contacted, Trotter said he is childhood friends with both candidates and liked them both. He gave each permission to erect a sign but declined to say, for the record, how he plans to vote on March 1. Nystrom and Testerman will each run a strong campaign, especially in the city portion of the district. Waiting to take on the winner is former UT Art and Architecture School Dean Marleen Davis, running as a Democrat. She is a credible candidate. She favors restoring the Lady Vols name to UT women’s sports. ■ Democrat Cheri Siler has withdrawn from the county commission race for the seat now held by Amy Broyles. This is a surprise as she was favored to win the primary and perhaps the general election after a credible race for state Senate in 2014. Dr. Laura Kildare is the remaining Democratic candidate who will face the Republican winner in August.

Last year was a big year for Christian films with the release of “Faith of our Fathers,� “Do You Believe,� “War Room,� “Woodlawn� and “When the Game Stands Tall� among others. It was a similar year to 2014, which had a comparable number of Christian theatrical releases. 2016 will see fewer faithbased films, although “God’s Not Dead 2� will surely be one of the most anticipated releases of the spring. Hollywood seems to be cashing in on what they see as a

Volunteers at Cedar Springs Presbyterian Church conduct a camp for refugee children. Photo submitted
Volunteers find rewards in refugee ministry By Carolyn Evans Kay Autry, a member of Cedar Springs Presbyterian Church, says a new venture has become one of the most rewarding things she has ever done. The mother of two grown sons and lifelong volunteer is now an English teacher to refugees from the Middle East. Autry says she had been hearing “amazing� things about the refugee ministry at her church and knew that director Almaz Gemechu was looking for volunteers. “What brought it home for me was hearing that not only were they persecuted and in danger, but some of them had sacrificed their
safety for our military,� Autry says. “I concluded very quickly that if someone could risk their life for me, I certainly could teach them English.� The definition of a refugee is very important, she says. “A true refugee has been endangered or persecuted, has fled to a second country, applied to the United Nations for refugee status, has had the persecution or danger verified, gone through the paper process, had a medical exam and has been assigned a country.� Twenty-seven countries take refugees, she says. The U.S. takes about half of

In the U.S., the Federal government provides $925 per refugee to cover the costs of housing, household goods, food and pocket money for the first 30 days. “It is then that the nonprofits such as Bridge Refugee Services help these folks get settled, learn English and find jobs, etc.,� she says. “Some are highly-educated; some are illiterate in their own language and unskilled.� Autry was given a number of ways she could help in the refugee ministry: pick up people from the airport, drive them to appointments, help with paperwork
Pastor Ron Stewart to retire at Grace Baptist Church By Nancy Anderson Dr. Ron Stewart plans to step down from the pulpit as pastor of Grace Baptist Church on June 1, 2016, opting for a more leisurely life of retirement and family fun. “God told me it’s time,� said Stewart. “My years at Grace have been an amazing and incredible journey that has far exceeded the initial vision God gave me when he called me here in 1988.� When Stewart, who holds both a master’s degree and doctorate from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Ky., first stepped into the pulpit at

and teach them English. She teaches English lessons in the family’s apartment. “The compassion comes very easily,� she says. “I have the possibility of bringing them from their broken background to a place where they can enjoy life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.� There’s a religious component to the lessons she uses, she says. “I have tremendous gratitude for what’s been given to me by God my father, so I share that love and gratitude.� Phil and Cindy Ownby have been involved in the refugee program at Cedar Springs Presbyterian for several years. They’ve helped with the summer camp for kids and the Thanksgiving celebration. “There are a number of other churches in the area that minister to internationals and refugees,� Phil Ownby says. “Cedar Springs is working now to find a way to coordinate with those churches.� The church’s mission is to help them become selfsupporting and productive members of society. Some of that includes trying to help them find the appropriate services for health care, language skills and transportation. “With the political climate changing daily, they may be facing threats and persecution of one sort or another,� says Ownby. “It’s a very rewarding experience to try and help families improve their way of life and share with them the love of Christ.�
For to the snow he says, “Fall on the earth;� and the shower of rain, his heavy shower of rain, serves as a sign on everyone’s hand, so that all whom he has made may know it. (Job 37: 6-7 NRSV) I am very much a school kid when it comes to snow. At the first flake (or the first threatening clouds) I am at the window, watching, waiting, heart beating faster. Time was that snow meant a day off from school. Now, it just means a day at home, a good book, a pot of soup on the stove. Even so, there is a wonder about snow. That is because it is rare in our climate, unlike places like Buffalo, NY. (I have a friend who grew up in Buffalo; she lives in West Virginia now – where snow is frequent enough! – but she says vehemently, “I don’t need snow; I can visit snow.� There are other levels of wonder in snow. The structure of snowflakes is such that no two are alike. Snow crystals differ in shape, but they all have six sides. Some look like six-pointed stars; others, like starfish

with six arms. My mother once remarked to a transplanted Yankee that it was “too cold to snow.� He laughed, but she was right. In the South, it gets very cold only when the air is sparklingly clear. In March 1993, two fellows set out to hike a trail in the Smokies. It was spring; they were in their shirt sleeves. Then the snow started in earnest, and they had to be rescued by helicopter. There was also one afternoon it took me four hours to drive home after work – normally a 25minute trip. It pays to have a healthy respect for the snow!

Safety first at Powell Elementary School Being selected as a school safety patrol is an honor that comes with a lot of responsibility.
Ruth White
The main goal of safeties is to make sure all students are safe when arriving and departing from school daily. They open and close car doors many times each day and pass on warm greetings to parents, all with a smile. The rotation for a safety patrol at Powell Elementary is nine weeks. Students that are selected are in the fifth grade and are required to have good attendance, good behavior and do well in the classroom. As a safety patrol, they are looked up to by younger students and being con-
sidered a role model can be a big honor for many. At the end of the school year, the safety patrols and Hannah Kirsch s p o n s o r s take the highly anticipated trip to Washington, D.C., to see the White House, the Capitol and many more historic sites. For the final two weeks of school, the top fourth grade students are selected to serve as safety patrols, learning the ropes and getting ready to take the reins at the beginning of the next school year. Sponsors at Powell Elementary are Betsi Vesser (known as Miss B), Dee Dee McGill and Maika Worley. Vesser enjoys being a sponsor and getting to know the students each rotating and watching them learn and grow in their role.

Finding, flaunting talent in By Betsy Pickle Reality TV in Knoxville is nothing new. Between finalists on “Survivor,â€? “The Voiceâ€? and “American Idolâ€? and the plethora of unscripted shows produced in Knoxvegas, we have been amply represented on small-screen competitions. Knoxville has also fared well in the big-time acting world, producing talents as diverse as Patricia Neal, John Cullum, Jerome Courtland, Polly Bergen, David Keith, Dale Dickey, Brad Renfro, Elaine Hendrix, Jake Thomas, Johnny Knoxville and Cylk Cozart. It’s Cozart who’s trying to turn all that talent and creativity into a locally based project with national appeal through “Acting Up ‌ with Cylk Cozart.â€? Cozart, a Knoxville native who has appeared in such movies as “White Men Can’t Jump,â€? “Conspiracy Theoryâ€? and “16 Blocksâ€? as well as TV shows including “Gabriel’s Fire,â€? “Sister, Sisterâ€? and “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,â€? was a standout athlete in high school and at King College. After an injury dashed his dream of playing professional sports, he turned to modeling and then acting, making his debut in the baseball film “Blue Skies Again.â€? Throughout his career, he has taken on a host of charitable endeavors both

Cylk Cozart discusses acting with the crowd at Open Chord.
Princess Clinkscales and Tony Delmonico do a scene for the crowd and the camera. nationally and on his home turf. In 2012, he received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Knoxville Area Urban League. A combination of acting workshop, talent showcase and elimination-style competition, “Acting Up� got its first taste of reality by drawing a crowd of about 90 to the Open Chord, 8502 Kingston Pike, last Wednesday. The entire evening was filmed – as future events will be – to be edited and pitched to networks as a reality show. Attendees included expe-
rienced and budding actors along with people curious about getting into acting. Cozart recruited friends such as radio personality Hallerin Hilton Hill, actor/94Z DJ Mike Howard, and Charlotte Dennison and Juanell Walker of Talent Trek Agency to participate as both performers and advisers. Musical interludes were provided by a talented teenage singer-songwriter who goes by the name “Vallie� and is from Karns. She credited Cozart with “discovering� her.
As a steady stream of actors hopped onto the stage, first to do monologues and then short scenes, Cozart gave critiques both positive and negative. His directions included everything from basics, such as projecting and finding the “sweet spot� on the stage, to eliminating imitation, staying in the moment and tapping into the truth of the scene. He encouraged them to get used to the distractions of the club – live theater is full of those, he said, and once an actor is accustomed to such things, working in
the protective atmosphere of a big-budget film set will be a piece of cake. Cozart also had actors do improv exercises, many of which were impressive. When the tables were turned and professionals Hill, Howard, Dennison and Walker did their bit, the results were hilarious. The evening wrapped up with a question-andanswer period fi lled with great advice. Howard said that actors should learn everything they can about the project and their character – and
Everyone loves Dolly By Carol Shane It’s a given that everyone loves Dolly Parton. Even in this age of relentless snarkiness, one would be hardpressed to find anything bad to say about her. Showbiz icon, razor-sharp business entrepreneur, big-hearted
hometown girl – Dolly fits into all of these categories. But mostly, she’s a musician. And among those who practice the art and craft of music, Dolly Parton’s greatness as a songwriter cannot be denied. That’s why a whole bunch

of local musicians will be getting together next Tuesday night at the Bijou Theatre to celebrate Dolly’s birthday. Led by New York dancer and storyteller Mark Lamb, the event will feature music, film clips and home movies from the star’s early years in Knoxville, presented by the Knox County Public Library’s Tennessee Archive of Moving Image and Sound. There will even be a film clip sent by Dolly herself to greet the audience at the beginning of the show. The evening’s centerpiece is Lamb’s multipleprizewinning story “A Boy and His Dolly.� “As a young boy, when I first saw her on TV I thought she was an angel,� says Lamb. “I love her music and her genius as a songwriter. I love her tolerance and the way she celebrates being yourself and being unique.� Lamb’s story about his adoration of Dolly has won not only the Moth StorySLAM but also the Moth GrandSLAM Championship, both featured in NPR podcasts. Though he is the force behind the birthday celebration, he’ll have plen-

Event sponsor Magpies Bakery will provide the birthday cake. Other sponsors are Knoxville News Sentinel, WVLT, WDVX, US Cellular and Visit Knoxville. Proceeds will benefit Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library of Knox County. “I am so honored to pay tribute to the living legend Dolly Parton on her 70th birthday at the Bijou Theatre. My story is not only a personal take on her positive influence on my life, but has a universal message told through Dolly’s lyrics about love, kindness and acceptance,� said Lamb. The Dolly Parton Birthday Tribute Show happens Tuesday, Jan. 19, at 7 p.m. on the US Cellular Stage at the Bijou Theatre on Gay Street in downtown Knoxville.

News from the Rotary Guy
Bearden Rotary begins 16th year of delivering Mobile Meals By Tom King This past Friday the Rotary Club of Bearden began its 16th year of delivering Mobile Meals to the elderly and shut-ins at Cagle TerTom King race Apartments and Westview Tower Apartments. Approximately 20 members alternate working on this Community Service project each Friday. On the ďŹ fth Friday of the months with a ďŹ fth Friday the club also delivers 35 meals to residents of Westview behind West Town Mall. But they do more than just deliver meals. They
make connections and make friends. “We talk with the residents and check to see how they are doing and if they are having any problems,� says Janice Mitchell, who coordinates this community service project for the club. “I think they appreciate that contact and conversation as much as they do the meals. They really do.� When she delivered last Friday, a couple of people held her hand and told her over and over how much it means to them to get the meals and visit. “It’s pretty heart-warming to do this. I can’t tell you how rewarding it is,� she said. “It is a joy to see each person every week. We never tire of hearing ‘God
bless you’ and perhaps, for the third time, the story of their service in the war, their childhood, or their most recent trip to the doctor.â€? The club also donates anywhere from $1,000 to $1,500 annually to Mobile Meals. One team of Bearden Rotarians that works together each week is known as “The Fabulous Fourâ€? – Jean Baird, Jim CofďŹ n, Phil Parkey and Dr. Walt Beahm. “They were the Three Musketeers but then Jean joined them and they changed their name.â€? This past fall Mobile Meals was one of four organizations chosen by Consolidated Nuclear Security at Y-12 in recognition of America Recycles Day
(Nov.15) and that recognition resulted with a $200 award to Mobile Meals. “It’s not a lot, but it buys a few meals and they really appreciated it,â€? said Tom Daughtrey, Bearden president who works at CNS Y-12. â–

Tom King is a retired newspaper editor, a Rotarian for 27 years and past president of the Rotary Club of Farragut. He can be reached at tking535@gmail.com

AMR hopes to sign 30 paramedics and 30 EMTs with the new campaign and several courses are already being held for those in training.

Blach said Rural/Metro has experienced stafďŹ ng challenges recently but has continued to meet all contractual agreements with Knox County.

Undergraduate students at UT Knoxville can now earn both a bachelor’s degree and law degree in six years, one year less than what is normally required. UT 3+3 is a new accelerated degree program offered by UT’s College of Law and College of Arts and Sciences. In the program, students complete three years of approved undergraduate coursework in the College of Arts and Sciences. Following their third year, participating students admitted to the College of Law become fulltime, ďŹ rst-year law students. The ďŹ rst year of law study will count toward a student’s law degree and also toward the completion of his or her bachelor’s degree. Two additional years of law study follow, after which the student earns a Juris Doctor degree. “UT Law offers an excellent legal education at a great value, and our 3+3 program will make law school an even more affordable option for UT students by saving them a full year of tuition,â€? said Melanie D. Wilson, dean of the College

of Law. “We’re excited to welcome some of UT’s most talented undergraduates to our community of future attorneys and leaders.â€? UT’s College of Arts and Sciences has long offered preprofessional programs for undergraduate students who plan to continue their education in the ďŹ elds of health, law, teaching and veterinary medicine. “The new UT 3+3 program creates the ďŹ rst preprofessional major in the college with a concentration in law,â€? said Theresa Lee, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. “We’re delighted to partner on this accelerated program, which graduates students sooner from UT Law and gets them into the workforce earlier – a beneďŹ t for the students, their families, the university and the state of Tennessee.â€? In addition, during their ďŹ rst year of law school, UT 3+3 students will be eligible for undergraduate ďŹ nancial awards, including the Tennessee HOPE Scholarship or a federal Pell grant.

NEWS FROM POWELL CHIROPRACTIC
Water do’s and don’ts By Dr. Donald G. Wegener ■Do gradually increase your water intake. ■Do drink water at any time, not just with meals. ■Do keep a “water diary� to keep record of your daily intake until you’re drinking at least 10 eight-ounce glasses per day. ■Don’t put anything into the water you drink except possibly a sprig of mint or a citrus slice. ■Don’t count other liquids as part of your water intake. Coffee, tea and diet colas are solutions with properties different from water. ■Don’t wait until bedtime to drink your allotted water. ■Don’t drink five glasses one day and try to make up for it by drinking 15 the next. This will put your body out of f luid balance. ■Don’t stop drinking water once you’ve lost weight. To function properly, your body needs 10 glasses of water a day.
You are, in fact, made up mostly of water. Almost 70 percent of your total weight, four to five quarts by volume, depending on your size, comes from water. How long can you live without water? Dr. Wegener Longer than you can live without air, but really not that long. Twenty-four hours in excessive heat or one cool, humid week without water and your skin loses its moist dewy look. Your mucous membranes begin to dry out, inviting viral attack. Then, weakness and irregular heartbeats set in, followed by hallucinations. Let’s leave the rest to your imagination.
