Pellissippi prepares for Tennessee Promise

Now that Gov. Bill Haslam’s free higher-education plan, Tennessee Promise, has earned legislative approval, the state’s community colleges are facing the possibility of significantly increased enrollment, which could put a burden on teachers and classrooms.

Pellissippi State Community College, with 10,600 students on five campuses in the Knoxville area, is the largest local school affected by the legislation, but the mood there is preparation, not panic.

President Anthony Wise says Pellissippi State should be able to accommodate any influx beginning with the registration for the 2015-16 school year.

“We are starting to look at it and to think about it,” says Wise.

“It’s really built on the model of Tennessee Achieves, which started here in Knox County and Blount County. I don’t know that we’ll see the huge enrollment increases that we might see in other parts of the state because in essence

you can have free access to a community college in Knox or Blount County right now through Tennessee Achieves.”

Faculty and facilities are two concerns.

“We’re committed to having fulltime faculty as much as possible Anthony Wise teach our classes on campus,” says Wise. “We want to make sure that we have the right kind of academic and student support programs in place for the new population of students.

“We’re a little bit off our historic enrollment high of three or four years ago, so we have some capacity to grow into that. We do have the new facility at Strawberry Plains, which hopefully can absorb some of these new students.”

Other potential measures include adding classes later in the afternoon, offering Saturday classes and making science labs

available on Sundays.

Students who take advantage of the Tennessee Promise plan to earn a two-year associate’s degree are likely to be people who ordinarily wouldn’t have thought about higher education, either because they lacked financial resources or didn’t think they could succeed in the academic environment.

Wise says generally 60 percent to 65 percent of students have to take some type of remediation course at Pellissippi State.

“That’s among the best at community colleges within the state,” he says. “Some places it’s significantly higher. Most students generally have one area of remediation, and more often than not it’s mathematics.”

Tennessee Promise students are likely to mirror those numbers, he says.

“One of the conversations we’re having is, how do we deal with the fact that perhaps in the fall of 2015, not only do we see this increase but we see an increase in students

who really need additional assistance and support academically in order to be successful?”

Statistics show that students coming in through Tennessee Achieves are more likely to stay in school and graduate – and do so more quickly – than the general student population, Wise says, and he thinks the same thing may happen with Tennessee Promise.

“I think there are a couple of things that have made Tennessee Achieves successful and I think have the possibility of making the Tennessee Promise successful,” he says. “They have strict requirements on the obligations that the students have to meet – they have to attend meetings at their high school, they have to complete their financial aid form by a certain time, they have to register at community college by a certain time, they have to work with a mentor, and they have to give a day of service back each semester to the community.”

‘Candy Lady’ finds help for swallowing problems When Dorothy Robbins of Sevierville visits Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center, she usually brings a box of fresh peanut brittle or assorted avors of tafďŹ es with her. “They call me the Candy Lady,â€? said Robbins, 73. “I’ve worked 40 years at the candy shop (Ole Smokey Candy Kitchen) in Gatlinburg. So I make a variety and take it to them. Dr. Jackson loves peanut brittle, so I always take him some.â€?

Robbins tells a funny but harrowing story about the time in October 2011 when a 200-pound bear broke into the shop at night. Robbins and a coworker found him in the morning. “There was a hole in the glass door and pecans everywhere,� Robbins recalled.

The women called the police, who chased the bear out of the shop and right past Robbins. Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency ofďŹ cials tried to trap him in the days

following, with no success.

The incident made the news and can still be seen on YouTube. “I said we have the sweetest bear in town!� said Robbins. “He was the smartest, too – he picked our candy shop! And they never did catch him.�

But that wasn’t the ďŹ rst frightening experience for Robbins. In 1989, she successfully battled Hodgkin’s lymphoma, undergoing 40 radiation treatments at Fort Sanders Regional.

The treatments eliminated the cancer, but subsequent scarring from chest radiation narrowed her esophagus to the point where she couldn’t eat without food getting caught. A narrowed esophagus can also be the result of acid reux disease, a common ailment. “It’s very frightening,â€?

Robbins said. “People who have not had it happen to them don’t know.�

Any food could get stuck in Robbins’ esophagus for days, especially foods like chicken or beef, she said. “I couldn’t swallow anything else either, even saliva,� she added. “It’s a scary thought when nothing will go down.�

Robbins lived with the condition for many years.

But about ďŹ ve years ago, she was referred to Dr. Mark Jackson, a gastroenterologist with Fort Sanders Regional. Jackson told Robbins he could “stretchâ€? her esophagus to help her swallow better.

With Robbins under anesthesia, Jackson inserted an endoscope – a tiny lighted video camera – down her throat. He then used slender instruments to expand and stretch the narrow places.

The procedure made a difference immediately, Robbins said, and she now has the treatment on a regular

Body’s digestive train can be derailed When your co-worker phones the ofďŹ ce saying he or she has “stomach u,â€? don’t believe it. That’s because the vomiting and diarrhea associated with the condition probably has nothing to do with the u – it’s more likely to be gastroenteritis, one of the more common ailments that can go wrong with the super-sophisticated human plumbing we call the digestive system.

Dr. Muhammed The mouth, Iqbal, Gastroenteresophagus, stomach, ologist large and small intestines, and anus are all part of the digestive system, with the tongue, salivary glands, pancreas, liver and gallbladder also pitching in. Even nerves and blood play a major role in the digestive process.

With so many body parts working together just to process that sausage biscuit you had for breakfast, it isn’t surprising that sometimes things go wrong. In fact, an estimated 60 to 70 million Americans are affected by one digestive disease or another each year, resulting in 48.3 million visits to the doctor, 21.7 million hospitalizations and almost a quarter million deaths.

Here are a few common conditions: â– Gastroenteritis – Often called “stomach u,â€? it’s inammation of the small intestine caused by viruses, bacteria or parasites. â– Gastroesophageal Reux Disease (GERD) – More commonly known as heartburn, symptoms occur when the stomach contents back up into the esophagus.

Occasional GERD doesn’t usually indicate a problem. “But if it’s persistent, if you have difďŹ culty or if you have weight loss, it needs to be evaluated,â€? said Dr. Mu-

hammed Iqbal, gastroenterologist with Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center. GERD can sometimes be a symptom of other conditions such as asthma, esophageal cancer or a precancerous condition called Barrett’s esophagus. â– Constipation – Americans spend $725 million a year on laxatives, trying to facilitate a bowel movement. â– Diarrhea – Constipation’s “evil twinâ€? causes repeated trips to the bathroom. Usually diarrhea is brought on by mild infections of the colon or small intestine. â– Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) – IBS is an intestinal disorder that causes abdominal pain, cramping or bloating and diarrhea or constipation. â– Inammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) – Another name for either Crohn’s disease or ulcertative colitis. The disease stems from inammation of the colon. â– Diverticular disease –The colon becomes weakened and pouches form along its surface. The pouches can collect food and become infected, resulting in pain and tenderness in the lower abdomen. â– Colorectal cancer – The digestive system is home to more cancers and causes more cancer mortalities than any other organ system in the body. Colon cancer affects more than 100,000 Americans each year. The good news is that most colon cancer is preventable through regular screening. “Colon cancer deaths have decreased because there is effective screening and better treatments. Pre-cancerous polyps (growths that can be precursors to colon cancer) can be completely and safely removed during colonoscopy,â€? Iqbal says, adding that the most important thing to remember is that “colonoscopy saves lives.â€?

basis. At ďŹ rst she went every month, and now sees Jackson several times each year.

Her procedure is done at the Center for Digestive Health at Fort Sanders Regional and takes about 15-20 minutes. “I’m

down and back in a day,� said Robbins, noting that she eats softer foods immediately following ful doctor. That whole group, they’re great – so wonderful the procedure. “Dr. Jackson is a wonder- and caring.�

Sweet words from the Candy Lady, who can more easily swallow the foods she enjoys.

Time for ‘gut check’?

Tests can be life savers

Tummy trouble? It may be time for a “gut check.� A variety of tests are available to help gastroenterologists (specialists in digestive disorders) diagnose and treat the cause of “GI blues.�

The Fort Sanders Center for Digestive Health has gastroenterologists Richard Cohn, MD; Jeffrey Brown, MD; Mark Jackson, MD; Muhammed Iqbal, MD; and Robert Pollack, MD, who offer a variety of diagnostic procedures, inDr. Mark Jackson, Gastroenterologist cluding the following:

Colonoscopy Colonoscopy is the examination of the entire colon (large intestine) to look for early signs of colon cancer (polyps). Usually an outpatient procedure, colonoscopy is performed by inserting a exible lighted tube into the rectum.

It requires intravenous sedation and adequate preparation to clean the colon. The exam will take about 20 minutes but can save your life.

Colonoscopy screening is recommended for everyone at age 50 and every 10 years after that if the test is normal. People with a family history of colon cancer, inammatory bowel disease or ulcerative colitis need to have the procedure at a younger age and more frequently. “Colon cancer can be managed, treated and cured if found early,â€? says Dr. Jackson. “The thing I’ve learned over the past 25 years is the importance of getting people past the fear and embarrassment of having to go through colonoscopy.

The more people we can get screened the better.�

Capsule endoscopy (“PillCam�)

This high-tech procedure uses a pill-sized video camera to view images of the small intestine, which cannot be viewed with traditional upper endoscopy or colonoscopy. The camera

takes multiple pictures of the small intestine as it passes through the bowel. The most common use is to search for causes of bleeding from the small intestine. It can also be used to test for Crohn’s disease and small bowel tumors.

On the day prior to the procedure a laxative solution is given to cleanse the small intestine.

The PillCam is then swallowed and passes through the digestive tract while transmitting video images to a recorder worn on the patient’s belt. The test takes about eight hours.

Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) Upper GI endoscopy, sometimes called EGD, helps in diagnosing and treating esophagitis, heartburn, ulcers and bleeding. The procedure is the visual examination of the upper gastrointestinal tract using a lighted exible endoscope. It is performed in an outpatient setting and utilizes intravenous sedation to relax the patient. The endoscope is inserted through the mouth into the esophagus, stomach, and upper part of the small intestine. The exam takes about 5-10 minutes.

Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) ERCP enables the physician to diagnose problems that involve the liver, gallbladder, bile ducts and pancreas. In this procedure a exible lighted tube is passed through the mouth and into the stomach and upper intestine to visualize the opening to ducts from the liver and pancreas. Once identiďŹ ed, a narrow plastic tube is passed through the scope into the duct, where a dye is injected and X-rays are taken. If the exam shows a gallstone or narrowing of the ducts, specialized equipment can be used to remove the stones or relieve the obstruction. The exam takes 30-60 minutes.

New field house

Students at Pleasant Ridge Elementary talk to Catherine Sebby, who presented a check to the school from the Knoxville Women’s Club. Pictured with Sebby are school principal Jessica Birdsong, Anthony Diaz, Savannah Smith, Brycen Covington, Assata Kromah, Ethan Richey, Elizabeth Manges, Brayden Lobetti and Grace Latham.

History brings dollars home The Knoxville Women’s Club sent funds (amount undisclosed but estimated to exceed $1,000) to Pleasant Ridge Elementary School in April via former student Catherine Nickles Sebby.

Sebby has been a member of KWC for 60 years and is a generational alumnus of Pleasant Ridge. The Nickles family attended the school and were founding alumni.

Sebby’s daughter also attended Pleasant Ridge.

When KWC had funds to disperse, Sebby secured money for Pleasant Ridge.

While presenting the check, Sebby toured the school and grounds to see how much had changed.

Apparently it was a lot.

“When I went to school here there were only two rooms,” Sebby, 92, told current students. “Each room had a stove for heat, and we had outside toilets and a pump where we had to go get a drink.”

Most of what Sebby recalled seemed completely foreign to the students and had them gasping in amazement.

“It is so nice of Catherine Sebby to remember Pleasant Ridge all these years later,” said principal Jessica Birdsong.

“We have amazing community support for our school. The personal connection she brings to this gift makes it even more special. There are so many things we couldn’t do without the support of great organizations like the Knoxville Women’s Club.”

Dollars will be used for playground improvement and morning announcement equipment upgrades.

Writing at Appalachian Arts

Writer Kathleen Fearing shared her expertise with students in a beginners writing class April 22 at the Appalachian Arts Craft Center in Norris.

Fearing, a successful published author for more than 10 years, focused on the importance of getting the attention of readers from the first line, first page and first chapter.

“You have to grab your

reader right on the first page,” said Fearing. “Create a theme or mystery, and put all you have into it on the early pages.”

Fearing told students that to be a successful writer you needed to decide what you want people to take away

from your book and show your story rather than tell it.

“The essence of your book should be in the first couple of lines,” she said.

“Your main character needs a fear or problem to overcome; a quest or a wrong to right. There must be tension and conflict or your reader will put down the book to see what’s on television.”

Appalachian Arts Craft Center holds workshops throughout the year. Info: 494-9854.

“This is a big, big deal,” said coach Jay Scarbro. “My vision from the beginning was to have somewhere we could congregate and focus on the team. Along with this excitement we also have excitement going on out on the field.”

The Panthers, with the help of community members, school officials and county staff, moved heaven and earth to get the field house. OK. They really only moved the house – but the process has been two years in the making.

“We’re not teammates, we’re brothers, and this room gives us an opportunity to come together as a family,” said Panther pitcher Tanner Hill.

There has never been an area at the school where the coaches and team could meet and discuss the season in comfort, and team members often had to change into their uniforms in the dugout.

The building was moved from Byington-Solway, converted and placed on a foundation next to the baseball field. The carpentry department at PHS finished the interior, and each player now has his own locker.

Scarbro thanked all involved in the process.

“Dr. Jim McIntyre, Knox County Schools and our community thought enough of our team and school to make this happen,” said Scarbro. “Part of our success this year is that we learned to be a team before we ever walked out on the field.”

On a side note, the team won the regular season championship April 21 with a 5-0 victory over Halls.

Dalton Long threw a no-hitter, with Hagen Owenby and Sam Braden hitting home runs for the Panthers.

Free advice for the candidates Pray for rain on Tuesday, May 6, if you’re about changing the status quo. A low turnout helps school board challengers, for instance, while a huge turnout will probably aid incumbents.

Bobby Waggoner can win if: ■ He reminds GOP primary voters that Jimmy “J.J.” Jones ran against Sheriff Tim Hutchison and lost. Jones endorsed the Democrat and lost again. Then Jones went to work for the Democratic attorney general.

■ He talks pensions.

Hutchison has one; Jones will have one; Waggoner does not/will not.

■ It rains.

Ed Shouse will carry commission District 4 by 3-1; and Craig Leuthold will carry commission District 5 by the same margin, said a political pundit. The winner will be determined in Gibbs and Halls and Carter and South of the River.

The Trustee’s Office is overstaffed, and it pays that staff in part by robbing Knox County Schools of more than $1 million a year in the “trustee’s commission.”

Yes, state law permits it, but a serious-minded trustee would just stop taking it.

Who’s more likely to reduce the staff: Shouse, who comes from the private sector, or Leuthold, who has worked in one office or another for 20 years?

Mike Hammond needs to stay calm while his News Sentinel-endorsed opponent self-destructs.

Hey, Mike. Make sure you paid your doctor. Try not to faint before public speakings. And remember, you decided to run for Criminal Court clerk a year ago. Your opponent dropped in after the incumbent dropped out.

Who’s more likely to sweep clean?

Take your seat proudly and stay true to what you know – your former colleagues in the classrooms across Knox County and the kids who are our future.

Betty Bean at SPEAK’s success.

“SPEAK is kind of an organic reaction to create a focal point for teacher and parent discontent. We’re looking at how we can direct that in a positive way.

It’s exciting to be part of a movement, but it’s scary if it’s all focused on anger.”

He believes SPEAK has become a conduit for information for parents and citizens, generally.

“We aim to be a place where parents can ask questions and learn about things.

That’s one of the things I’m proud about – the exchange of information. We knew we had some really talented, driven people who had access to information – people like Joan Grim, now at UT, who was a special ed teacher in Knox County. One of the things we have tried to do is put the information that’s behind the emotion where people can get to it,” Gorman said, observing that while emotion is a good catalyst, there’s no substitute for facts.

“That’s one of the things I’m proud about – the exchange of information. Your child’s second grade teacher might not be comfortable sharing information over the phone with you specifically about tests your child is taking, although we have discovered that some of the surveys that are being done are not necessary. On the SPEAK page, you can get those answers. I’m really

proud of that because that’s the purpose of SPEAK.” Lauren Hopson, who was one of the first teachers to speak out, said the group began with a number of teachers who started seeing one another at school board meetings and decided they had a lot in common. She credits teacher Amy Cate with doing the early legwork. The group really got going with a boot camp in January (assisted by Jobs with Justice) and has met monthly since then. Its endorsements of school board candidates have been hotly debated and widely sought.

“I hope to see a public engaged with their legislators to help protect public education,” Hopson said. “I hope to see SPEAK members engaged with their school board and having a voice in how things are run – a voice in how best to help our children.”

Henry’s retirement is ‘end of an era’

GOSSIP AND LIES Marilyn Toppins went to Nashville to lobby for teachers. Of course, she was wearing the button of the Tennessee Education Association (TEA).

A fellow she didn’t know approached her, all smiles. After greeting her like a long-lost friend, he said, “I didn’t know the Tea Party had an emblem like that.”

A candidate said he’s for the three Ts: teachers, technology and textbooks.

Toppins said, “Why not?

We’ve pretty much worn out the three Rs.”

tor. Henry, a Democrat, served 44 years in the Senate, which ties him with Lt. Gov. John Wilder, but when his two years in the House are added to make 46 years total he becomes the longest-serving Tennessean in the General Assembly.

His retirement truly marks the end of an era.

At age 87, his major contribution has been a consistent voice for financial responsibility. He believes in states’ rights without the stigma of segregation.

He feels our U.S. senators are Tennessee’s ambassadors to the federal government. His integrity was beyond reproach and his

Just two years ago he was hosting a reception for the re-election of conservative Republican Sen. Bob Corker at his elaborate Sequoyah Hills home attended by Gov. Bill Haslam and some 300-plus backers.

Last week, Hazelwood hosted an event for local Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Gordon Ball (along with Auburn basketball coach Bruce Pearl).

Ball hopes to oppose Sen. Lamar Alexander in November. Ball’s first vote if elected to the U.S. Senate would be to make a liberal Democrat the majority leader and most likely would thereafter cancel out Corker’s vote on any issue of significance.

Ball and Corker could be reasonably described as ideological opposites.

However, it seems Hazelwood and Ball often play golf together and Ball is

Hazelwood’s attorney on some issues.

Ball is a colorful figure, having previously run for Congress against the late Jimmy Quillen in 1978.

Now he is a wealthy attorney who has had financial success with several class-action lawsuits. One $17 million fee he received was litigated in his divorce lawsuit, which went to the state Supreme Court in 2010. His opponent, Knoxville attorney Terry Adams, is running a low-key campaign.

■ Martin Daniel plans an aggressive campaign in the remaining 100 days to the August primary where he opposes incumbent state Rep. Steve Hall, one of the quietest members of the Legislature.

Daniel, in an interview, says Hall is “not talking because he doesn’t have anything to say. He is in over his head.” The district lies in West and northwest Knoxville and Knox County.

Daniel seeks debates with Hall and did visit Hall a few weeks ago to advise him he would be running.

He said he opposed Hall’s bill to sell Lakeshore Park, which Stacey Campfield pushed in the Senate. Daniel calls Campfield and Hall “two peas in a pod.”

Daniel adds that Hall has proposed 18 bills in four years and none has anything to do with reducing red tape in state government. Daniel says he is “fine with the job Gov. Haslam has done to date.”

Daniel, 57, is an attorney and works in outdoor advertising. He is married and has two children. Hall has a sizable campaign fund, which he will use to defend himself. He does not personally campaign door-to-door but will send out family members and friends. Hall served eight years on the Knoxville City Council and rarely spoke or influenced decisions.

It is too early to tell how competitive this race will become, but Daniel is credible as a candidate who shows confident determination. Hall has always prevailed in the past although his race against Ellen Adcock in 2005 was won by fewer than 200 votes citywide.

■ Supreme Court Justice Sharon Lee says the selection process for state Attorney General “should be transparent.”

The State Constitution mandates the Supreme Court to choose the AG for an eight-year term, which will happen in September this year with the choice serving to 2022.

The process has never been transparent in the past. The court meets in private and issues a statement announcing whom the five justices choose. It will be interesting to see if Justice Lee can persuade her colleagues to make it “transparent” and how the court defines “transparency.” She is a candidate for another term, which will be voted on this August.

Vols who didn’t play in NFL The approaching pro football draft has the attention of forum children playing in the sandbox. They asked each other a very heavy question. Who was the greatest Volunteer who did not play in the NFL? Easy answer: John Majors, all-American tailback, leader of the great 1956 team, rooked out of the Heisman Trophy by the Notre Dame mimeograph machine.

Majors was a genuine college football player, maybe the best in America that year (Jim Brown of Syracuse might have been; Paul Hornung wasn’t). The multitalented Vol was No. 1 in the Southeastern Conference but not a match for pro requirements.

Marvin West

I remember him in geography class as just one of the boys, 5-11 and maybe 170 with a letter sweater, crew cut and skinny legs. On the gridiron, he was all-around amazing, fast enough, smart, balanced and shifty.

Would-be tacklers took dead aim, but a surprising few landed direct hits. Some would have missed if they had been playing tag.

Majors was an actual tri-

ple threat or maybe quadruple. As a senior, he completed 61 percent of his passes, followed blockers smartly for more than five yards per carry and punted for a 43yard average. When asked to play defense, he was a very capable safety.

In addition to all that, he could think on the job. His coach, Bowden Wyatt, called him a coach on the field.

Majors played briefly for the Montreal Alouettes in the Canadian League ($1,000 signing bonus, $10,000 salary). A shoulder injury encouraged him to seek other employment.

Condredge Holloway, exciting quarterback, the Artful Dodger, was a 12thround choice of the New

England Patriots. They projected him as a defensive back. He chose the wideopen Canadian game, Ottawa and Toronto, and became a legend.

Larry Seivers, wide receiver, was a Tennessee allAmerican who caught everything he could reach. Some receptions defied description.

Seattle drafted him in the fourth round but bad things happened. A shoulder injury cost vital practice time. The Seahawks gave up. Tampa Bay took a little look and sent him packing.

Next stop was Philadelphia – almost but not quite.

NFL people never forget great hands, even if great speed is missing. The next summer, Larry was in-

Patti Jane Lay wants to give back

By Betsy Pickle A Knoxville native, Patti Jane Lay earned her bachelor’s degree from Emory University in Atlanta. She graduated from the University of Tennessee College of Law in 1979 and has 34 years of trial experience. She also has been a mediator in family law and general civil cases since 1996 and a special master in the 4th Circuit Court for about 12 years.

Lay has earned the endorsement of current 4th Circuit Judge Bill Swann, who is retiring after 32 years on the bench.

Lay respects Swann, whom she describes as “a brilliant man,” and says he benefited Knox County by creating his “special master” program, in which volunteer attorneys were vetted to take on some duties of the court.

“It did not cost the taxpayers a penny because the

attorneys were asked to volunteer, which I did for 12 years,” she says. “It kept the high volume of cases moving without delay.”

The caseload in 4th Circuit is staggering. Last year, the 1st Circuit Court heard 785 cases. By comparison, “Judge Swann disposed of 4,400 cases.”

She says there is a misconception that Knox County has a higher number of orders of protection issued than other major cities in the state.

“The reality is, Nashville and Memphis have as many as or more than Knox County, it’s just the recordkeeping is not as good because the majority of their orders of protection go through a non-court of records,” she says.

Lay has her own ideas about making the 4th Circuit Court more dexterous in serving Knox County.

They include:

■ Improving the screening process for orders of pr ote c t ion “on the front end.”

She says she has talked with the Family Justice Center about coPatti Jane Lay ord i nat i ng that effort.

■ Changing the court’s schedule so that there’s not such a crush on Thursdays.

“Attorneys think it’s a circus atmosphere. It’s just too many unhappy people in the same spot at one time. My proposal would be to have a morning and an afternoon docket and also hear orders of protection on motion day (currently Wednesday).

■ Making use of the compliance-review officer funded by the sheriff’s office. “That would free up

some court time.”

■ Redesigning mediation and parenting-course schedules. Swann requires four mediations. Lay would reduce that to two in noncontested custody cases.

Lay says she’s running for judge because she’s at a time in her life when she can “focus on giving back” to the community.

“An effective leader is a good listener. I am a good listener and want to take ideas from all people that come before the court before making final decisions.”

Greg McMillan, an attorney in private practice, is also a candidate in the GOP primary. He has taken issue with Swann on several matters, as outlined in a previous story about this race.

Early voting runs through Thursday, May 1, with the primary election on Tuesday, May 6.

vited to Green Bay’s training camp. Coach Bart Starr promised an opportunity.

All Larry got was mileage.

He didn’t drop a single pass in drills and never had one thrown toward him in a game. He was on the field for five plays during the entire exhibition season.

Jackie Walker was a brilliant linebacker, a fierce hitter, intuitive and very quick. He returned five interceptions for touchdowns.

By college and NFL standards, he was undersized at 188. There was talk that he might switch to strong safety. Nothing happened.

Many other great Volunteers didn’t make it. Chip Kell, one of the most powerful blockers ever in orange, was a 17th-round pick of the San Diego Chargers.

The all-American center played a few minutes for the

Edmonton Eskimos. Tailback Hank Lauricella, 1951 great, went in the 17th round to Detroit. He played lightly in 11 games.

Majors, Kell and Lauricella are in the College Football Hall of Fame.

Safety Bobby Majors had one significant punt return for Cleveland in his nine-game career. Jimmy Colquitt punted in two games for Seattle. Quarterback Andy Kelly made it big in the arena league.

Casey Clausen played briefly for the Amsterdam Admirals.

New Orleans picked Curt Watson in the sixth round. The terrific fullback achieved far more fame flying high as a Blue Angel.

Indeed, there are great Volunteer memories without NFL endorsement.

Help by the truckload

Blessed work

By Cindy Taylor Second Harvest brought a truckload of food to Powell Presbyterian Church April 12 to be distributed to the community.

“Our church could not do this without help from the community,” said pastor Jonathan Warren. “We especially appreciate the help given by the scouts who unload the truck, distribute food and push grocery carts.”

Food was given out from 7:30 to 9 a.m. with more than 150 people being served.

“Being so close to Easter this distribution brings hope to those in need and serving in our community,” said Warren.

All were invited to join in the Easter celebration held April 20. Festivities began with a pancake breakfast at 9:30 a.m., followed by worship at 10:30 and an Easter egg hunt at 11:30.

The community is invited to the church-wide flea market planned for 6-8 p.m.

Friday, May 2 (preview and sale), and 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Saturday, May 3.

The next mobile food pantry will be held at 7:30 a.m. Saturday, June 8.

There are no pre-requirements for food; first come, first served.

Powell Presbyterian Church is at 2910 Emory Road. Those wishing to volunteer to help with the distribution should arrive at 6:30 a.m. Distribution usu- Jerry Sluder distributes food at ally winds up around 9 a.m. Powell Presbyterian Church.

Info: 938-8311.

For God is not unjust; he will not overlook your work and the love that you showed for his sake in serving the saints, as you still do. And we want each one of you to show the same diligence so as to realize the full assurance of hope to the very end, so that you may not become sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

(Hebrews 6: 10-12 NRSV) The things, good Lord, that we pray for, give us the grace to labor for.

(Sir Thomas More, 16th century England) Work started out as God’s second choice for His children.

According to Scripture, God’s original intent was Eden: beauty and plenty and leisure. Work came as the direct result of human disobedience.

Some folks still perceive work as punishment.

It is true that slavery exists in the world, and that inhumane workplaces still abound. There are others, though, who find achievement, growth and meaning as they serve a purpose larger than themselves.

There are all kinds of workers: those who would rather be a large cog in a small wheel, and conversely, those who want to be a small cog in a huge wheel. There are those, sadly, who don’t want to be part of any wheel, and, even though they are able, choose not to work at all.

I have the feeling, however, that Sir Thomas More was not talking about laboring just for wages.

Knowing something about the man – who is one of my heroes – leads me to believe that he was willing to labor for values.

All of which begs the question: What are we willing to labor for? Certainly, I would hope, we are willing to labor for our living.

This, however, is a question that reaches far beyond the workplace. It is a life

Operation Inasmuch Community members from area churches worked together to clean up the grounds at Gresham Middle School as part of Operation Inasmuch.

The idea of the program is to move congregants out of their seats and into the streets and is based on Jesus’ saying that “inasmuch as you did it for the least of these, you did it for me.”

More than 60 individuals, representing First Baptist Fountain City, Fountain City Methodist and Life Church, volunteered time to pick up litter, mow, pull weeds, rake, mulch, plant flowers and pressure-wash areas of the campus.

The group also cleaned and revitalized the Gresham Gardens, which includes a walking trail, gazebo and outdoor classroom.

Funding was provided by the newly formed Gresham

Middle School Foundation.

The Gresham PTSA helped coordinate volunteers and required tools/supplies so the Operation Inasmuch volunteers could work.

When they arrived back to school after the weekend, Gresham Middle School staff and students expressed appreciation for the work done.

question, and the answer to it says much about who we are and what we treasure.

What about issues? Justice? Fairness? Equality?

Peace? Are we willing to stand for those, much less labor for them? Or do we just talk about them? This is where talk is certainly all too cheap.

Sir Thomas gave up his life rather than compromise his convictions. He was beheaded because he refused to “go along” with something he believed to be wrong. He was later canonized for his stance and became Saint Thomas More.

We most likely will never be asked to take such a stand, for which I am cravenly grateful. Even so, we are fortunate to have a long line of saints and martyrs to challenge us to be more faithful, to be more courageous, and to be more than we think we can be.

Even if our only contribution is the patient, faithful, unrecognized, unheralded, quiet work we have done, we, too, can inherit the promises.

It is blessed work. It is enough.

Powell Middle wins state

By Cindy Taylor Powell Middle School girls track has one team of four champions.

Rachel Ross, Caroline Whitehead, Kennedy Cowden and Sage Davis are breaking records locally and at the state level.

From starter to anchor the girls sprinted 100 meters each through the curve and straightaway for a total of 400 meters and a time of 53.24 seconds on April 16, dethroning Brentwood Academy to achieve first place in the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 4x100 relay. The team has won every 4x100 and 4x200 relay this past season. Coach Scott Clark says this is an amazing achievement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These finishes have not just been convincing but overwhelming,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have coached track at the middle school level and high school level for 10 years. In the first day of practice I knew we had something great.â&#x20AC;?

To show the significance of their speed Clark says

that if the girls had been of age to compete at the high school level during the TriCity Classic High School Meet April 19 their time would have garnered 10th place out of 29 in the 4x100 relay.

According to Clark, the team is not only winning races and breaking school records but logging some of the fastest times in the state. Unlike most teams, the girls do a â&#x20AC;&#x153;blind handoff.â&#x20AC;? This means they start running when their teammate approaches and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look back. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After hours of practice timing these handoffs, the exchanges are seamless,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Rachel Ross is new to track and is the â&#x20AC;&#x153;lead legâ&#x20AC;? of the 4x100 relay. Ross has aspirations of carrying on the family tradition of state championships her mother established in high school.

Second leg Caroline Whitehead took a year off from track but has returned this year to leave her mark.

CTE goes Live The state-champion Powell Middle School girls relay team: Rachel Ross, Caroline Whitehead, Kennedy Cowden and Sage Davis. Photos by Cindy Taylor She is a consistent and reliable sprinter in the 4x100, 4x200 and 4x400.

Third leg Kennedy Cowden is the defending 400-meter champion from last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Knox County Middle School competition.

A versatile sprinter, Cowden can find success in the 100, 200 and 400, a rarity in a middle school athlete.

Sage Davis is the â&#x20AC;&#x153;anchor legâ&#x20AC;? of the 4x100 relay. Davis has been a dominant sprinter since 6th grade.

After winning the 200-meter dash in the Knox County Middle School Championship last year she went on to win both the 100 and 200 meter dash in the East

Tennessee Elite Track and Field Championship. Davis earned the title of Most Valuable Knox County Sprinter.

All four are multi-sport athletes. Ross, Whitehead and Davis play soccer and Cowden plays basketball and softball.

The team of four won over Farragut April 22 with a time of 52.64, breaking their own record, and will compete in the Knox County Middle School Track and Field Championship in May. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These girls are pretty tough,â&#x20AC;? said Clark. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If they stay together they are going to make waves in track and field in high school.â&#x20AC;?

Get ready for Market Square to rock with great music from winners of the Knox County Schools CTE goes Live competition.

Winners, including Lauren Kitts of Powell High, have spent weeks rehearsing group numbers to perform at the event in addition to their individual piece.

The top winner of the night will earn the opportunity to record a song in Nashville.

PHS students gather outside to watch the mock crash as emergency personnel arrive. Photos by Cindy Taylor

Emergency personnel work to stabilize mock-crash survivor Wesley Williams before getting him out of the SUV.

PBPA invests time, money to keep kids safe

By Cindy Taylor The concrete is covered with debris from two vehicles that just collided headon. Blood is spattered inside and outside the cars, and screaming is coming from inside both vehicles.

Friends have come upon the wreck and stopped to wait the excruciating minutes it takes for emergency personnel to arrive. They are yelling for their friends to get out of the cars and will soon be wailing when they find out some don’t survive.

No one in either vehicle appears responsive. The teen driver of the SUV had been texting and driving as she headed out for a fun night with her four friends after a Powell High football game. She looked down for two seconds to read a text and never saw the Volvo carrying four other friends before she hit it.

Now nine people are in trouble and the lives of nine families have been changed forever because one person was texting while driving.

The driver thought it would never happen to her – but it just did.

It is all simulated – but that doesn’t make it any

less disturbing and heartstopping.

Students witnessed the mock crash in the front parking lot at Powell High School during Driver Awareness Week sponsored by the Arrive Alive Club. The crash was staged by staff, students and teachers at the school, Powell Business and Professional Association, State Farm Insurance, Clinton Highway Wrecker Service, Rural/Metro, Lifestar, Knox County Sheriff’s Office and Mynatt Funeral Home.

“Time seems to go by so slowly after an accident,” said Rural/Metro EMT John Creswell. “If you’re conscious all you want is somebody to come and help you right now.”

Creswell took students through the accident mo-

ment to moment from the second the crash occurred to the end when the coroner came to claim the bodies of those who did not survive.

The graphic event promotes awareness about the dangers of distracted driving and raises funds for scholarships and awards.

Playing the roles of students involved in the accident were PHS drama students Brandon Evans, Katherine Cobb, Sarah Maycann, Chad Edwards, Wesley Williams, Bailee Rhoton, Meredith Denney, Angela Violette and Hope Captain. Cameron Kendrick, Josh High, Macey Pierce, Kate Patton, Abby Rase and Jonah Lawson played friends of the victims.

made it more difficult to pretend that type of thing doesn’t happen.

“Approximately 20 percent of drivers at the school signed commitment cards promising to not text and drive,” said State Farm agent Sage Kohler, an annual sponsor of the event and president of the PBPA. More than $6,200 was raised to support scholarships and awards given by the Powell Business and Professional Association to students who signed commitment cards promising not to text, speed or talk on cell phones while driving and to always wear seat belts. All students who signed commitment cards were eligible for award drawings.

Awards and scholarships were presented April 22.

More than $1,300 was given out in gas cards. A scholarship of $2,500 was awarded to PHS senior Britney Hill, who will be attending UT; $1,500 to Will Palmer, who will be attending MTSU; and $1,000 to Olivia Lawson, who plans to attend Pellissippi State.

Gold sponsor for the event donating $1,000 was

Emory Family Practice.

Silver sponsors donating $500 were Powell Walmart, Sage Kohler-State Farm Insurance, Kelley Jarnigan, Farm Bureau insurance, and Mike Moore of Academy Mortgage.

The annual event is the largest scholarship fundraiser for the PBPA.

Lula Mae Winegar parties for 90th Lula Mae Myers Winegar, born April 12, 1924, in Knoxville, turned 90, and I had the privilege of being invited to her birthday party held at Church of the Good Shepherd on Jacksboro Pike.

Lula Mae spent most of her adult life in Fountain City on Eldridge Road and then on Fulton Drive. Quite a crowd showed up â&#x20AC;&#x201C; young and old â&#x20AC;&#x201C; for the birthday supper topped off with a big birthday cake, the center of which featured a picture of Lula at age 5.

Lula Mae met Bob Winegar as a teenager and married him several years later.

The children are Judy

Bonnie Peters

Mary Winegar Petree and Lula Mae Myers Winegar, who share the same birthday.

Winegar Goans and Elizabeth Winegar Hardin. Judy and her husband, Dr. Ronald Goans, are parents of two sons, Ron Jr. and Robert Goans of Clinton.

Elizabeth and husband Dave Hardin are parents of 13-year-old Luke Hardin.

Elizabeth and her family live at Midlothian, Va., where Dave teaches historical geog-

raphy at Longwood University and Elizabeth chairs the local Democratic committee.

Candi Rinehart brought her mother, Carla Fitch from Frankfort, Ky., for the party. Lula Mae and Carla became friends when their late husbands worked for Job Corps at Pine Knot, Ky. The families have remained friends for many years.

Lula Mae still lives on her own with minor assistance

from her family. Daughter Judy, who now lives next door in Clinton and is an internationally known patent attorney, spoke about the events of 1924 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the year of Lula Maeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s birth. She noted that her mother shared the feast day of one pope and the birthday of two monks, two bishops and a serial killer. President Roosevelt died April 12, 1945.

head table was Mary Winegar Petree, who shares the same birth year as her sisterin-law. She was also joined by many longtime members of her Fountain City United Methodist Christian Fellowship Sunday school class, which was formed shortly after WWII for young married couples. Their teacher, the Rev. Dan Kelly, shared some funny memories of her.

Born to John C. and Lula Crane Myers, she grew up in the Mechanicsville area of Knoxville, within walking distance of the Southern Railway Depot, where her father was a flagman and later a conductor.

Lula Mae attended Moses School and Boyd Junior High School. She and her parents moved to th0e outskirts of Lenoir City where Lula Mae attended Lenoir City High School and the girl from the city joined 4H and raised chickens. She also taught a childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sunday School class at Martel Methodist Church.

When Lula Mae was 16, she and her parents moved to 3rd Avenue, now Midlake Drive, in Fountain City, where she enrolled at Central High School and joined Fountain City Methodist, where the Rev. T. Paul Simms was minister.

She was very industrious and worked in the high school cafeteria and held part-time jobs as a sales clerk at Kress on Gay Street and waited tables at Kayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ice Cream in Fountain City, always contributing to the family income.

This move brought her in contact with another industrious Fountain Citian, recent CHS graduate Bob Winegar, the son of Franklin â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weenieâ&#x20AC;? and Beulah Winegar, who were building a house next door to the Myers family.

Lula Mae graduated from CHS in 1943 and immediately went to work for Southern Bell as a telephone operator.

Bob and Lula Mae corresponded during the war, and when he returned from active duty, they began dating. They were married Sept. 11, 1948.

Daughter Judy arrived a little over a year later. Bob was called up for active duty during the Korean War, and the family moved several times during the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;50s with postings in Fort Sill, Okla., Fort Polk, La., and Fort Hood, Texas. Lula Mae continued to work as a telephone operator.

Lula Mae always wanted to get her college education, and she began attending UT in the late â&#x20AC;&#x2122;50s. The birth of daughter Elizabeth in 1961 put that on hold. She began taking non-credit photography classes at UT in the mid â&#x20AC;&#x2122;70s and became accomplished as a photographer and skilled in darkroom techniques. She then re-enrolled at UT and completed her degree in elementary education in 1978. She did her student teaching at Shannondale Elementary under the late Myona Winget. She taught briefly in a private school and worked many years as a substitute teacher with the Knoxville and Knox County schools.

Although Lula Mae now lives in Clinton, she still maintains her Fountain City ties as well as keeping up with her three grandsons.

Party guests included: Mary Lou Jones, the Rev. Dr. Charles Fels, the Rev. Dr. Susan Sgarlat, Clifford and Ruby Hsieh, the Rev. Dr. Hen Swann and Sharon Swann, Fred Harrel and Dr. Elizabeth Harrel, Wanda and Jim Pinkerton, June Goforth, Lucy Eldridge, David Smith, Lee Ann Johnson, Ron Webster, Dr. Ruthie McCleod and her mother, Ruth Sloan, Roslyn Yentze, the Rev. Dan Kelly, Melinda Davis, Polly Kelly, Mac English, Charles and Kathy Harrington and family, and Armitage and Eileen Smith.

Multi-percussionist Jay Miller, who is always shaking, banging or rattling something, is one of the busiest players in “Spamalot,” now playing at Clarence Brown Theatre. He’s flanked by keyboardist Casey Maxwell. Photos by Carol Zinavage

Conductor/music director Terry Silver-Alford is having a great time with the show.

Keyboardist Melony Dodson enjoys all the wacky sounds she gets to make.

‘Spamalot’ shows bright side of life Some of the folks having the most fun in Clarence Brown Theatre’s current production of “Monty Python’s Spamalot” aren’t actors or audience members.

“Watch out for that big hole in the middle of the stage!” cautions King Arthur to his faithful servant Patsy early in the show. If you look into it, you’ll find the pit orchestra for the production – some of the finest musicians in town. And every one of them wears a big grin.

“The rehearsal process was really one big laugh-athon,” says music director Terry Silver-Alford. “The director, Bill Jenkins, encouraged the actors to make the show their own by bringing in comic bits and also in-

Carol Zinavage

Carol’s Corner tegrating local references into the material, which is a tradition with this show.”

Those local references include a snatch of “Rocky Top,” among other things.

Silver-Alford, in his ninth year as the CBT’s music director, also teaches acting, musical theater and introduction to theater. He received his master’s of fine

arts in theater directing from UT and his master’s of music in piano and composition from Western Michigan University before taking positions as director of musical theater at the University of Tulsa, the University of Wisconsin at Stevens Point and eventually UT Knoxville.

Speaking of his current crew, he enthuses, “I have fantastic players who keep coming back for every show – I’m so grateful to work with them.” For this production, there are 14 musicians, three of them being keyboard/synthesizer players who must produce a variety of sounds through a system of numerous “patches,” or electronic samplings, that can convey anything from classic orches-

tral instruments to animal noises and sound effects.

“I missed the Big Ears Festival because I spent the whole weekend setting up the three keyboards for ‘Spamalot!’” laughs Michael Ponder, 16-year veteran sound supervisor for CBT. Acoustic instruments include trumpets, French horn, trombone, violin, string bass, guitar, drums and a variety of woodwinds – the latter played by only two performers. One of them is Sheryl Howard, widely known in the area as a multi-instrumentalist who can do it all – composing, arranging, singing, playing, directing.

Howard, who is music director at Trinity United Methodist Church, is greatly

enjoying this production and especially likes “The Song That Goes Like This,” which is a satirical (and hysterically funny) take on the typical Broadway power ballad.

Another widely known “Spamalot” musician is Melony Dodson, whom you can hear weekdays as host/producer of WUOT’s “Morning Concert.” She’s also a choral accompanist for the UT music department, and pianist at Faith United Methodist Church on Dry Gap Pike.

“This is one of the ‘funnest’ shows I’ve ever seen or played. It’s truly hilarious, and it has really great music. And this band is totally nailing it!

“My favorite song to play is probably ‘Find Your Grail.’ It’s just fun!”

Silver-Alford likes “Knights of the Round Table,” the first big splashy production number in the show. The song is familiar to any Monty Python fan who’s seen the movie “Monty Py-

thon and the Holy Grail,” but “Spamalot” kicks it up quite a few notches.

“And of course there’s the great ‘soft shoe’ number, ‘Always Look on the Bright Side of Life,’” he says. “It sounds like a song we’ve all known forever – like an old vaudeville song from the 1920s.”

The song was written for the 1979 movie “Life of Brian” and did indeed instantly have that “where have I heard it before?” quality.

Dodson allows that, for such an outrageous show, the rehearsal process has been fairly smooth and typical.

“Except I get to make cow sounds with the keyboard,” she grins. “That’s pretty fun!”

Clarence Brown Theatre’s production of “Monty Python’s Spamalot” runs through Sunday, May 11.

■ Bob Johnson did it right. When he retired, he and Marilyn sold their house to a daughter, turned over the family business (Bob Johnson Insurance) to their sons and moved to Crossville.

So they’re close enough to keep up with the grandkids, but out of the way of their thriving offspring.

Bob must have read about this in a book.

Bob and Marilyn are coming home to help Doug and Ben and the gang (which has grown since Bob left) celebrate the 50th anniversary of the agency. It’s 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, May 3.

Bob is the most effortlessly funny guy I’ve known and I can’t wait to see him again. Let the insults begin!

Oh, and you’re invited too! Just drop by the office (yes, the boys have renovated and expanded it) on Afton Drive in Halls. Tell Bob T-Bone sent you. And bring a loaf of day-old bread.

News from Angelic Ministries

John Majors shares memories

By Bonny C. Millard

William Cutshall describes his job as â&#x20AC;&#x153;whatever is needed.â&#x20AC;?

Angelic Ministries changes lives

By Nancy Whittaker Angelic Ministries and the people who make this ministry so special never cease to amaze me. Recently, I spoke with William Cutshall.

The assistant to Pastor Tony Earl hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always been a full-time volunteer.

William was with the Knox County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s OfďŹ ce for years and thought this would be his lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s career.

That changed one day in his garage. He just felt something was missing in his life and started praying. William says he had no idea his life would change so drastically.

Cutshall and his family lived â&#x20AC;&#x153;out in the countryâ&#x20AC;? and thought that is where they belonged. His wife was a school teacher. But then he says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;God had a different path he wanted me to take.â&#x20AC;?

William quit his job and started setting up small events where he could minister to the homeless.

This is when he ďŹ rst saw the COW bus. Angelic Ministries sends out a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Church on Wheelsâ&#x20AC;? to provide

transportation to people who want to attend their services.

It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take long for William to k now that Angelic Ministries was his calling.

Now William, his wife and kids live in the innercity, he is a full-time volunteer and his wife tutors â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and he says they have never been happier.

When asked if he has any regrets, he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say â&#x20AC;&#x153;NOâ&#x20AC;? fast enough.

He says Angelic is where he belongs. He beams as he talks about the people he is helping.

Angelic provides all basic items needed by people in crisis.

The people who come to Angelic are described as â&#x20AC;&#x153;the working poorâ&#x20AC;? and are referred by other agencies in town.

Donations can be dropped off at the headquarters â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the former Merita Bread building at 1218 N. Central â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or large items can be picked up.

Info: 523-8884 or www. angelicministries.com/.

Storied University of Tennessee former football head coach and player Johnny Majors credits his father with teaching him the fundamentals of playing the game, which led to his success on the ďŹ eld.

Majors spoke recently to the Rotary Club of Farragut about his time both as a player and coach. He also reminisced about his father, Shirley Inman Majors, and his brother, Joe. Former UT linebacker Keith DeLong, who went on to play for the San Francisco 49ers, was there to listen to his former coach.

DeLong played in the midto-late 1980s, and the pair have been friends since that time.

Majors, head football coach at UT from 1977-1992, also served as head coach at

the University of Pittsburgh and Iowa State University during his lengthy career.

His list of accolades include 1985 SEC Coach of the Year, a 1976 national championship at Pitt where he was twice named National Coach of the Year and Big 8 Coach of the Year.

While a player at UT in the 1950s, Majors was named All-SEC football tailback, SEC Player of the Year and Heisman Trophy runner up in 1956.

Majors talked about his early years of growing up in Lynchburg, where his father started coaching football at the county high school in 1944. While Majors was in high school, his father was hired to start the football program at Huntland High School. Majors said he and his brothers had to earn a

spot on the team, and their father expected them to do their best.

Majors said he always played football with pride and enthusiasm and an attitude of never giving up. His father taught Majors â&#x20AC;&#x153;how to play the game right.â&#x20AC;?

As a coach, Majors again took lessons from his father and incorporated those into his own coaching style. Majors said he always remained committed to his players and preached â&#x20AC;&#x153;character above all else.â&#x20AC;? The more character his players possessed, the better they played, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Character is what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re made of; reputation is what people think we are,â&#x20AC;? he said, adding that he liked to recruit character.

Majors opened his talk with memories of his fam-

Johnny Majors ily, especially his brother Joe. Majors, the oldest child of ďŹ ve boys and one girl, said Joe, the second oldest, was born on Christmas Day in 1936. Joe Majors died seven years ago, and Majors told the group he still misses his best friend for life and â&#x20AC;&#x153;greatest Christmas gift.â&#x20AC;?

NEWS FROM PREMIER SURGICAL

Bariatric Surgery Gives Oak Ridge woman new lease on life For Gretchen Longcoy of Oak Ridge, life has begun anew at 50. Longcoy is embracing passing the half-century mark and enjoying a transformation in her body and health. The catalyst for her new vitality? Bariatric surgery. Since undergoing surgical weight loss surgery in 2012 with Dr. Stephen Boyce of New Life Center for Bariatric Surgery, Longcoy has shed more than 100 pounds and changed her life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was a life-saving procedure for me,â&#x20AC;? says Longcoy, a Realtor Dr. Stephen with Realty Executives.

Boyce, Bariatric â&#x20AC;&#x153;After years and years Surgeon of struggling with my weight and other health problems, I have a new lease on life, after 50.â&#x20AC;?

Longcoy says she has always been heavy, attending her ďŹ rst Weight Watchers meeting when she was in the ďŹ fth grade. But, she wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t obese until she got pregnant with her ďŹ rst child. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I gained 40 pounds, then nine months later I got pregnant again. With the second baby I gained 60 more pounds,â&#x20AC;? explains Longcoy.

Over the next several years, subsequent back and foot surgeries compounded her weight gain and limited Longcoyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mobility. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even walking up stairs was difďŹ cult. I had high blood pressure, high cholesterol, sleep apnea and was pre-diabetic,â&#x20AC;? she remembers.

Longcoy considered bariatric surgery.

Although many insurance companies cover the procedure, Longcoyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s did not, so she dismissed the idea. But a trip to Dollywood with her sister changed her mind. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At Dollywood I had trouble ďŹ tting on a ride. It was so embarrassing,â&#x20AC;? remembers Longcoy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That night my sister expressed concern about my health and encouraged me to undergo bariatric surgery. She said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re worth it. This will extend your life.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

Longcoyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s husband agreed. She selected Dr. Stephen Boyce of New Life Center for Bariatric Surgery to perform Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass, which reroutes the intestine into a new, smaller stomach pouch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was important to me to go to a Center

of Excellence that specialized in bariatric surgeries,â&#x20AC;? says Longcoy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I chose Dr. Boyce because of his experience. He was a Godsend!â&#x20AC;?

In the 2 years since the surgery, Longcoy has shed over 100 pounds, but more importantly, has changed the way she eats and lives. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People who think weight loss surgery is an easy way out are wrong. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a tool to help you change your life, but you have to be committed to making better choices for your body,â&#x20AC;? states Longcoy.

Longcoy now bikes and swims, and is healthier than ever. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a new beginning.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s transformed my relationship with my husband and myself,â&#x20AC;? smiles Longcoy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I tell people â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re considering bariatric surgery, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let anything stop you.

Here are some tips for successful showing & selling of your home. As your list agent, we can’t get you the price you want for your home unless it is in pristine move-in condition. That may mean no sticking drawers in the kitchen. No leaning fences. No rust-stained plumbing fixtures. The list can go on because buyers can get instantly turned off.

5 BIGGEST TURN-OFFS FOR HOMEBUYERS* OVERPRICING FOR THE MARKET: Overpricing your home is like trying to crash the country club without a membership. You'll be found out. If you ignored your agent's advice & listed at a higher price than recommended, you're going to get some negative feedback from buyers. The worse feedback is silence. That could include no showings & no offers. The problem with overpricing your home is that the buyers qualified for your home won't see it because they are shopping in a lower price range. The buyers who do will quickly realize that there are other homes in the same price range that offer more value.

SMELLS: Smells can come from a number of sources: pets, lack of cleanliness, stale air, water damage and much more. You may not even notice it, but your agent may have hinted that something needs to be done.

There's not a buyer in the world that will buy a home that smells unless they are an investor looking for a bargain.

CLUTTER: Too much furniture confuses the eye; it makes it really difficult for buyers to see the actual room sizes.

If the buyers can't see what they need to know, they will move on to another home, one that will allow them to walk through while focusing on their items in the home & not on just trying not to break any of yours.

DEFERRED MAINTENANCE: Just like people age due to the effects of sun, wind and gravity, so do structures like your home. Your buyers want a home that has been wellmaintained. They don't want to wonder what needs to

be fixed next or how much it will cost. Many buyers will look at those obvious repairs & wonder what else needs work but is hidden to them until they would move in.

DATED DÉCOR: The reason people are looking at your home instead of buying brand new is because of cost & location. Just like they want a home in good repair, they want a home that is updated. If you are leaving the updating to your buyer, they will look at calculating the costs needed to bring the house into the modern era & want to reduce what they are willing to pay you for it. In addition, many buyers can't afford to make those updates immediately & will look for a home that is already updated, meaning your home will sit on the market longer. There begins a difficult cycle. The longer it’s on the market, the less a buyer wants to offer, so your investment doesn’t profit as you had hoped. You end up stuck with an asset that isn't selling.

In conclusion, the market can be a brutal mirror. Anyone who has gone through the preparations for showing a home can tell you that the less that has to happen the better. Making sure the home you are selling is in readyto-go shape only makes the whole process much more pleasant for all. *Taken from an article by Blanche Evans in Realty Times.
