Teen Driver promo takes a turn

By Sandra Clark The Teen Driver Awareness program has brought many exciting events to Powell High School, including mock wrecks complete with helicopters, ambulances and wreckers.

One year the committee brought in a simulator to demSage Kohler onstrate the effects of impaired driving.

Over the years, the program has become a mainstay of the Powell Business and Professional

Association.

This year is no different, but the promotion has changed.

Open to all PHS students (seniors only for scholarships), the Teen Safe Driver completion offers an array of prizes to students who develop a message around “safe driving.”

Sage Kohler, who is chairing the committee with Rachel Wilburn, said the competition will be by grade level and allows students to use their individual talents. Topics can include any safe-driving message. Examples would include seatbelts, speed limit, no distractions, etc.

The students can compete by

writing an essay, creating a multimedia message or doing artwork such as a painting or poster. Entries will be judged on professionalism, effectiveness of message, creativity and distinction.

Entries must be delivered to the school’s main office by 3 p.m.

Friday, May 1. Past prizes have included $50 Regal gift cards, $50 and $100 gasoline cards, prom tickets and limo, Garmin, a year of free car washes, and a $100 Sunglass Hut gift card.

Scholarships of $2,500, $1,500 and $1,000 will be awarded to the top three entries by seniors. Each class will have winners and great

prizes, which will be awarded at an all-school assembly on May 11.

“We hope that through the engagement and efforts of the students, the message of safe driving will be heard loud and clear,” said Kohler. “If even one teenager will drive more carefully and conscientiously because of this message and event, all the efforts are worth it!”

Sponsors (each giving at least $500) are State Farm Agency, R. Sage Kohler; Farm Bureau Insurance, Kelley Jarnigan; Summit Medical Group, Internal Medicine Associates; Rusty Wallace Honda; and Knoxville TVA Employees Credit Union.

Broadacres to pursue Dogwood Trail

By Sandra Clark Chuck Henry, a member of the board of directors with the Dogwood Arts Festival, visited with the Broadacres Homeowners Association last week to discuss the subdivision participating in the festival with a trail.

Goodpaster Henry outlined the process of admission and offered assistance. He and his wife, Deb, are longtime volunteers with the Fountain City trails.

Broadacres HOA president Steven Goodpaster said members want to pursue this.

Commit to be fit.

Start your fitness program today.

Goodpaster said about 100 of the subdivision’s 845 homeowners have donated to the HOA since membership dues were abolished.

In Powell’s own version of Reaganomics, dues were discarded in favor of donations and money has been rolling in.

“We paid $500 in advance for one year’s service to KUB (for entrance lighting),” he reported. And 250 people have joined the association’s Facebook page.

Andrew Sharits, the HOA vice president and an agent with Realty Executives, reported on home sales.

Broadacres had 31 sales in 2014 with an average price of $160,800 and an average square footage of 2,100, he said.

In the first three months of 2015, Broadacres has seen 10 sales averaging $189,000. “We’re going the right way,” he said.

Items of interest included the entrances: “If you want to help, just go mow it if it needs it,” said Goodpaster.

Meeting at Halftime Pizza, the group discussed limiting “house for sale” signs at the entrances.

Beautiful Broadacres is a feature of the Facebook page, Goodpaster said. “Just post a picture of your yard.”

Real estate agent Marlene Thompson with Coldwell Banker distributed packages of sunflower seeds and suggested a “yard of the month” club in which residents would nominate their property

and a committee of judges would drive by and vote on a winner.

“I for one won’t be entering my yard,” said Thompson. “I do well to keep it mowed, but I sure do enjoy all the beautiful yards in our neighborhood.”

The group also discussed the sign at Broadacres and Shropshire (the entrance to Powell Middle School and the Powell Post Office).

The sign is on county right-of-way, Goodpaster said, and is occasionally hit by vehicles making a wide turn into Shropshire.

Currently, an “R” is broken, and the letters don’t match those on other Broadacres signs. Discussion ensued, and this reporter left for dinner with Bart and Cindy at The Front Porch.

health & lifestyles

At 81, Knoxville woman makes most of every day At the age of 49, Polly Hood was diagnosed with a melanoma that could have ended her life. A doctor told her she only had a 25 percent chance of survival. Rather than curl up in defeat, Hood decided to find something that would be a diversion.

She enrolled in classes at the University of Tennessee.

Hood won a scholarship and eventually received a college degree in Home Economics Education when she was 53. She graduated at the top of her class, among students who were young enough to be her children.

Hood knew about overcoming obstacles. She had defeated cancer, cheated death and with her degree had achieved a goal that many people never do.

So when her husband passed away after an extended illness last July, this strong woman of faith, now 81, was pressed but not crushed. She didn’t know that a new and life-threatening challenge was just around the corner.

In October, Hood was invited to participate in a special service, memorializing individuals who had recently died. She was asked to bring a picture of her husband and was invited to stand and share a few words about him.

While it was certainly an emotional night, she appreciated the people who wanted to honor her husband’s memory and lingered at a reception that followed. All seemed to go well – until her chest started hurting on the way home.

“I thought it was indigestion because I had eaten some snacks I was not accustomed to,” Hood says. “And it was stressful to speak about losing my husband.”

Hood took antacid tablets when she got home, but the pain stayed

Polly Hood, a Knoxville native, is thankful for the lifesaving care she received at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center. After Hood arrived at the emergency room door, a team cleared the blockage in her left main coronary artery in 23 minutes, which is about 40 minutes faster than the national average.

with her throughout the night. She felt better the next day, but her problems were far from over.

“It was about 4:30 in the afternoon when I had another chest pain, and it was severe,” Hood recalls. After texting her children, she called 911 and was instructed to chew four 81-milligram tablets of aspirin and drink water till emergency personnel arrived.

“I got sick at my stomach, I vomited, I broke out in a cold sweat,” Hood says. She was experiencing some of the classic symptoms of a heart attack.

Hood would later learn there was a blockage in the left main coronary artery, often referred to as a “widow maker” because of the low survival rate. The left main coronary artery feeds two of the three main arteries of the heart – it is essentially a heart attack in two-thirds of the heart.

When the ambulance arrived, Hood was given an EKG. “I could tell when the EMT pulled the paper out of the machine that it was a heart attack. I could tell by the expression on his face.”

Hood’s suspicion was correct.

However, she remembers hearing some important words of comfort: “We will get you out of here and get help for you right away.”

Emergency workers made good on that promise. Hood didn’t know it at the time, but Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center has an aggressive plan in place to provide immediate care for patients who are in

cardiac arrest.

When a person experiences a heart attack, fast-paced care is critical. That’s why two doctors and other medical staff were waiting and ready to attend to Hood as soon as she arrived at the hospital’s emergency department. She was surprised.

“They were waiting for me in the hallway,” Hood says. “They stopped me right there and gave me an EKG and two kinds of blood thinner.”

No time was wasted taking the next step. “They ran to the catheterization lab with me,” Hood says.

“They were running, and they moved fast.”

Because the process of placing a stent requires a patient to be awake and alert, Hood was fully aware of conversations going on around her.

As she listened, she learned one of the nurses treating her had been in the parking lot, about to leave for the night. Another was on the way home when called to turn around and come back.

“They were called back to help me,” Hood says gratefully. “Everyone was very professional, very courteous and very reassuring.”

Hood offered up prayers for the people working so diligently to save her and says she felt at peace knowing if she died she would see her husband again.

It took just 23 minutes to get Hood from the entrance of the emergency department to the cath lab with the stent in place. That’s about 40 minutes faster than the national average.

Hood has no doubt that those minutes made a difference not only in saving her life, but in her recovery.

Within days of being released from the hospital, she was enjoying a lunch date with her daughter. She was back to church soon after.

“I’ve been really happy with the care I’ve gotten,” Hood says. “It couldn’t have been any better.”

When Hood looks back over all the important moments in her life, most of them have a common element: her husband was there by her side.

Now a widow, she is starting life over with new challenges. Cardiac rehab at Fort Sanders Regional has strengthened her heart and helped renew her spirit. While going through life without her partner of almost 55 years is difficult, she takes every step on the treadmill with purpose. After a life-threatening heart attack, the woman who once couldn’t imagine living without her husband now understands that she must.

“I lived, and God’s not through with me, yet,” Hood says, wiping her eyes. “I have to realize that and make the most of every day.”

Hood says her heart was broken twice. Her husband’s death broke her heart emotionally. The heart attack broke her heart physically.

“But by the grace of God and medical expertise, I’m mending now, and I’m thankful to be alive.”

Local hospital leads team approach to faster care for heart attacks Collaboration improves care for STEMI patients

When a heart attack happens, time is critical – not just for the person experiencing the heart attack, but for professional caregivers as well.

The American College of Cardiology and the American Heart Association have established recommended standards of care for heart attack patients, specifically those identified as the “ST-Segment Elevation MI” (STEMI) population. These patients have the highest mortality (risk of death) and morbidity (risk of associated complications). They can be rapidly identified with an electrocardiogram.

The standards emphasize organizing regional systems of care and patient transfer procedures in order to provide faster access to advanced therapies that help facilitate rapid restoration of blood flow during a heart attack. The care team – from first responders and emergency departments to cardiologists and cath lab staff – must collaborate to provide efficient and effective care.

To help meet the revised stan-

dards, Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center established a physician-led team that included a medical director, STEMI coordinator, interventional cardiologists, emergency department manager and an educator, along with other departments, hospitals and emergency transport companies working together to enhance care for STEMI patients.

“From initial contact – whether by EMS in the field or a triage center in the emergency department – there are several steps to rapidly get Joshua Todd, MD patients with the highest mortality during a heart attack to the catheterization laboratory,” said Joshua Todd, MD, interventional cardiologist and project team medical director. “Our role is to evaluate the entire process and collaborate with anyone who has contact with this patient population to develop a standardized approach to

efficiently get them to a cath lab.”

The team’s goals included: ■ Decrease mortality of STEMI patients through early intervention.

■ Increase the number of STEMI patients brought directly to Fort Sanders by EMS transporters, bypassing centers that are not equipped to care for STEMI patients and thus reducing the time to procedure.

■ Increase transfer efficiency of STEMI patients to Fort Sanders from smaller facilities by helping those facilities identify STEMI patients more quickly.

■ Decrease readmission rates for patients transferred to Fort Sanders with STEMI diagnosis.

The team developed several new processes, including: ■ Helping train EMS providers to identify STEMI patients quickly and building relationships with emergency transporters to ensure efficient arrival at a center equipped to deal with STEMI patients. A new focus of the guidelines is to track “First Medical Contact-to-Device Activation” time, with a goal of less than 120 minutes from medical encounter by first responders to interventional treatment.

“Every 30 minutes results in

nearly an 8 percent increase in risk of death, so we can improve patient outcomes by having a systems approach to identification, notification and rapid transfer,” Dr. Todd said.

Clinical members of Covenant Rapid Access, Covenant Health’s patient transfer center, are available 24/7 to accept STEMI patients from outlying hospitals and immediately notify the cath lab team and interventional cardiologist. “Rapid Access is the coordinating center for Covenant facilities,” Dr. Todd noted. “They are integral to our STEMI system of care.”

■ Emergency transporters can simultaneously notify both ED and cath lab teams of potential STEMI patients and transmit an EKG when available. This allows earlier activation of the cath lab team, with personnel available immediately when the patient arrives.

■ Interventional cardiologists hold educational events to improve rapid identification for pre-hospital EKGs and EKG interpretation, and develop protocols for managing STEMI patients and notifying the hospital of a STEMI diagnosis.

■ The team reviews STEMI cases monthly to give referring hospitals

and EMS providers feedback on outcomes, and to continually improve systems and processes.

A key factor for success is support from emergency physicians and interventional cardiologists, said Jennifer Debow, RN, Fort Sanders director of cardiology services. “Their willingness to work together has been the force behind the teamwork between Covenant Health facilities and EMS companies throughout the area.”

As a result of these efforts, during first year implementation Fort Sanders exceeded state and national hospitals’ performance in meeting standards for “First Medical Contactto-Device” times. Mortality and readmission rates also declined.

The team has expanded its efforts and now collaborates with hospitals and emergency responders in Claiborne, Sevier and Jefferson counties, and as far away as Newport and Kentucky.

Debow summarized the collaborative spirit of all the health care providers: “The commitment and compassion of this initiative is making a difference, not only by saving lives, but giving patients back their quality of life as well.”

Wright predicts budget skirmish

By Sandra Clark Five of 11 Knox County commissioners visited Halls last week to talk about community issues.

Gibbs residents probably outnumbered Halls folks present; Gibbs is pushing for a middle school.

At-large commissioners Ed Brantley and Bob Thomas hosted the forum at E.B.’s Eats and Treats in Mill Branch shopping center.

Dave Wright Commissioners Charles Busler, John Schoonmaker and Dave Wright also attended.

Nobody could ask for road construction. Visitors had to fight through three separate projects to reach E.B.’s.

Knox County is building a sidewalk on Norris Freeway to connect Clayton Park to Halls Elementary School. TDOT is four-laning Highway 33 from Temple Acres to the Union County line, and the state is moving Highway 33 and compressing the grass median at Norris Freeway in an oddly engineered project to achieve a left-hand turn toward Maynardville.

Busler asked Wright to explain the budget process, noting that this is the first for himself and the other three commissioners.

Wright said budgets

typically are adopted with few if any changes after Mayor Tim Burchett presents his plan, scheduled this year for Monday, May 11. “I don’t think it will fall into place this time.”

The school board is requesting three new schools. The request would wreck Burchett’s signature goal to reduce the county’s debt by $100 million. He’s currently paid off about $70 million and managed to build a new Carter Elementary School without debt by selling assets.

No commissioner promised support for the school system’s budget.

Even Patti Bounds, the district’s school board member, voted against the $441.5 million operating budget (joined by Amber Rountree, both former teachers). Bounds supported the capital plan with

Mike McMillan’s amendment to build a new middle school in Gibbs for “not more than $30 million.”

Wright is expected to lead the fight for the new construction.

Bounds said her district has 57 portable classrooms, the most in Knox County. “The money is not there to do what (school administrators) want.”

Discussion topics included the balanced school calendar, construction of a new school building for Adrian Burnett Elementary, completion of Clayton Park, the upcoming rate increase at Hallsdale Powell Utility District and the completion schedule for road projects.

The next community commissioners’ meeting will be Wednesday, May 20, at Henry’s Deli, Tazewell Pike in Gibbs.

How long before Butch does something?

Question: So, how long campus rock.

Answer: He already has before Butch does somedone something. He has adthing? justed the football culture to mostly positive, upgraded talent and depth and set a world record for attention to Marvin details – including academWest ic achievement and unification of the old guard.

In mod language, Tennessee is trending. There is Clarification: I suppose, measurable improvement. in this case, Butch is a col- His players are bigger and lective noun encompassing faster. They look stronger in Tennessee coach Lyle Allen the team photo.

These preliminaries Jones Jr. , a cluster of highly regarded on-field assistants, have been expensive, a few dozens behind the scene, af- million here, a few more fluent fans who loan jets and there, raises all around, enthusiastic students, some but, fortunately, Butch has who run and jump and hit enhanced ticket sales and people and others who paint perhaps inspired an uptick recruiting names on the in giving. He is one heck of

a salesman. By my count, he is undefeated in press conferences and interviews. He says a lot – with passion.

What the Volunteers did to Iowa, slow or lethargic, generated an overflow of orange optimism. Many think Tennessee will win the SEC East.

No previous Butch result substantiates this. His twoyear record is 12-13. He is 5-11 in the SEC. He and his people have twice upset South Carolina. He lost to the worst Florida team in a decade. His team squeaked through at Vanderbilt to earn bowl eligibility. Lest you forget, the Commodores, 17-point underdogs, created far too much tension.

Butch said: “This game summarized our season of adversity and great resiliency.”

Butch is articulate.

Just as he was building, several young people who were once recruiting prizes pulled up roots and went away. OK, that could have been a left-handed blessing in disguise. Newcomers may be better than the dearly departed. For sure they will be younger and less experienced.

So, when will Butch do something really exciting?

Coming up usually takes more time than going down.

Be reminded that major repairs were necessary.

Once a program falls, rivals stomp all over it and do

their best to make bad matters worse.

“Hobnail boot on the neck” is a vivid description.

Consider the Bill Battle decline of the 1970s. John Majors came home to fi x it.

There was no brick by brick back then but what we got was 4-7, 5-5-1, 7-5 and 5-6, generally worse than what Battle was doing.

Symbolic restoration appeared in the fifth year, capped by the not so glamorous trip to the drab, cold, windy Garden State Bowl.

Some of you missed New Jersey. I remember it well.

I ran out of gas on a scenic drive.

Erosion under Battle was pleasant compared to the Lane Kiffin-Derek Dooley

slide and crash. Butch inherited a mess. His immediate predecessor didn’t recruit offensive linemen.

Butch has done well rebuilding bridges, mending fences and pointing the program in the proper direction. Practice field challenges through a public address system, the noisy stadium DJ and student appreciation day are not the Neyland way but Butch clearly has his own brand of leadership.

I continue to withhold judgment on player development and strategy. When Tennessee defeats Alabama, I’ll have more to say.

Broyles plans campaign school for women Knox County Commissioner Amy Broyles knows − and understands − why few women run for office.

They’re busier than ever, and while many are perfectly comfortable raising money for schools or churches, they’re not comfortable asking for money for themselves. Plus, they know that campaigns get ugly, and they don’t want to put their family in that position.

But issues that directly affect women, like equal pay, won’t be addressed if women themselves don’t step up, she says.

“We have to be the ones sitting in those chairs.”

That’s why Broyles is planning a campaign school for women who are interested in running for office or becoming involved in campaigning for a female candidate. A date has yet to be set, but it will be a weekend

Wendy Smith

in August, she says.

Classes, on topics like messaging and fundraising, will be taught by female officeholders she’s met through the National Association of Counties and the National Foundation for Women Legislators. They are from different parties, and women from all parties, or none at all, are welcome to participate.

She is currently seeking sponsorships so that the school will be free of charge.

When women choose to run for office, it’s usually because they’re angry about

Windsor Gardens

something, she says. Broyles ran for County Commission seven years ago because she was angry about term limits. Someone tried to discourage her from running because a man, who could finance his own campaign, was willing to run.

She was active in the community, but didn’t know the man. She decided she was a better candidate, in spite of having a 12-weekold baby at the time.

While Broyles moved forward without wondering if she was prepared, most women say they don’t know enough to serve in an elected office.

“Women always seem to think there’s something more they need to do to run for office.”

Men, who are used to seeing men in office, are more likely to see themselves as qualified, she says.

Come…let us tr eat you lik e royalty.

Women candidates face challenges, and criticism, that men don’t face. During her first campaign, Broyles was surprised to be asked how she would manage her family responsibilities while serving on commission. Men don’t get asked such questions, she says.

In spite of the challenge of getting there, Broyles has loved her time in office. She feels that she’s been able to affect positive change during her time on commission, even if it didn’t directly result in policy change.

She won’t run again in 2016 because she’ll have been in office for eight years. The people who are most disappointed are her three daughters, she says.

“They’re really proud of me.”

The map at left shows 2014-19 projected growth for Knox County’s middle school zones. The chart above shows current and projected enrollment. Both are from a study commissioned by Knox County Schools and are available on the KCS website.

Gibbs Middle School is a ‘forever’ issue Gibbs area residents have battled for 20-plus years for a new middle school in the community. During that time a brand-new elementary school was built at Gibbs and Holston Middle School, where Gibbs-area kids are zoned, was remodeled.

Gibbs residents showed up across Knox County to lobby for a middle school when Superintendent Jim McIntyre held public meetings. No other community has pushed so hard for so long. It’s safe to say, folks who don’t live in Gibbs are puzzled.

What’s the problem?

First, our middle schools are in the wrong places.

Thoughtful Clark people wanted to close both Fulton and Austin-East as well and build a comprehensive magnet high school downtown on the World’s We’ve got a line of three Fair site. from Vine to Holston to But since we tend to Carter without the popula- make school zoning decition to support them.

Now both are opGibbs middle school erating below capacity and kids had a wing on the high kids are beating down the school before the decision to doors to get into the L&N close it and Spring Hill Mid- STEM Academy at World’s dle School and rezone the Fair Park.

We’ve got spaces without kids on the east side and kids without spaces on the west side.

Second, Gibbs advocates argue that the lack of a middle school holds back the area’s growth. Nobody’s talking about Northeast Knox Utility District’s lack of a sewer system (wastewater is treated by HPUD) stifling growth.

Commissioner Dave Wright says the school system’s study was f lawed by inaccurate population figures from the Metropolitan Planning Commission. He says Hardin Valley’s numbers were just a year old, while the North-

east Sector Plan was outof-date by some 12 years.

MPC is currently updating that plan.

Third, and this is the 800-pound gorilla. Who’s going to pay for a new school at Gibbs? The school board chose not to fund it through its capital plan. It’s doubtful Mayor Tim Burchett will advocate borrowing money for Gibbs and two other new schools also requested.

That puts it on Knox County Commission to vote to build and to fund. If that path is taken it must come with a property tax increase to retire the associated debt, which could easily sur-

pass $60 million for three schools.

So the school board votes 5-3 for a new Gibbs middle, but has no way to fund it. The school system’s own study indicates there’s no current need.

And the mayor is trying to pay down debt, not incur more.

Dave Wright has friends on the commission, but likely not enough to pass this proposal, especially without the mayor’s recommendation. Burchett will present his budget on May 11. And the Gibbs community will fight on, win or lose, forever if it takes it to get a middle school.

Hill leaves MPC ahead of new director Dave Hill has resigned from the staff of the Metropolitan Planning Commission (MPC). Likely this was done prior to the new director coming in. Hill, a highpaid city aide not retained

by Mayor Rogero, was hired at MPC by former director Mark Donaldson.

Cumberland Avenue merchants who overwhelmingly opposed the current construction along Cumberland Avenue at a cost of over $20 million wonder why Mayor Rogero never comments on the troubles being created by the project. She leaves explanation to littleknown subordinates such as Anne Wallace.

Bob Whetsel, who is working the project, retires from the city in October. Wallace will likely replace him. Whetsel will be missed.

One would think Wallace

Victor Ashe

would urge folks to visit the area during construction to have lunch or dinner and do business with those who have lost business due to this initiative from Rogero.

Perhaps Burchett will do it if Rogero continues to stay away. He was the active one a few years ago on Chapman Highway, and Cumberland Avenue is in Knox County.

It is surprising that city council has not spoken out on this economic stress for merchants. Even the two council members most likely to question a Rogero project have been quiet on this one.

Nick Della Volpe declined to sign on to the Rogero campaign as a host for her recent fundraiser. Rogero, who quietly opposed Della Volpe in 2013, is this year supporting all four council members seeking their second and final term – in return for them all backing her. All for one and one for all is the motto.

■ All three permanent city council employees are departing the city this fall. They are city recorder Cindy Mitchell, auditor Melissa Peters and secretary Susan Wilson. Mitchell leaves in September, followed by Peters in October and Wilson in November.

The three represent over 100 years of service to the city. The three are close friends, and once one left, the others did not want to remain. All had in their years to secure immediate

pension benefits.

Mitchell was hired by then-vice mayor Bernice O’Connor as assistant city recorder in 1979, which recommendation was approved by a council vote. She became recorder in 1981. She has served with six mayors and eight vice mayors. She served as president of the Tennessee Association of Municipal Clerks and Recorders and received in 2011 their Distinguished Service Award. She also received the Master Clerk Designation in 2009 from the International Institute of Municipal Clerks and Recorders.

■ Vice Mayor Nick Pavlis is leading the search to replace the three. The position of city recorder has been posted. Serving on the committee to interview applicants are Pavlis, finance director Jim York and civil service director Vickie Hat-

field. Hatfield is best known for having pushed Sam Anderson off the city civil service board due to residency questions.

Surprising here is that this is not a council-only committee, as the position being filled is uniquely a councilmanic one. Since the post has not been filled in 35 years, no one is quite sure what the procedure is. It’s unclear if council will vote on it as a body. The named person will achieve civil service status a few months after being hired. This is similar to tenure, making it difficult for future councils to make a change if they wished to do so.

■ The city pension board deadlocked on April 10 on what cost city employees must bear to buy back prior military service. Michael Paseur, who has a good attendance re-

cord, was absent due to his daughter’s illness.

The city charter provides that employees with military service can count it toward their pension. How would Paseur have voted?

Will the board redo the vote if all members are present?

The two Rogero appointees split on this issue, with Rogero casting an anti-veteran vote.

■ City council member Finbarr Saunders will have a fundraiser for his re-election May 6 at the architectural office of fellow council member Duane Grieve on Emory Place.

Marshall Stair has sent out a letter seeking donations.

All are unopposed at present. Qualifying deadline for mayor, city judge and council is noon June 18.

Breaking ground for a new cathedral tember 2017, will double the seating capacity of the church to 1,000 and increase the worship space from 7,500 to 20,000 square feet.

In the lineup of dignitaries turning over shovels of dirt were priests, Cardinals, football coaches, university presidents, mayors and fundraising parishioners. In September, the church’s granite cornerstone will be taken to New York, where Bishop Richard F. Stika will ask Pope Francis, who will be on his visit to the U.S., to bless it.

When the new cathedral opens, the church’s current worship area will be renovated into an open space for the Sacred Heart Cathedral School and a meeting space for the parish.

Cardinal Justin Rigali came on his 80th birthday to help with the Mass that preceded the groundbreaking ceremony and to join the line of 19

who turned over shovels of dirt.

Also included in the lineup were Cardinal Timothy Dolan, archbishop of New York; Cardinal William Levada; Bishop Stika; Bishop David R. Choby of Nashville; Father Boettner; Gov. Bill Haslam and wife Crissy, Knoxville Mayor Madeline Rogero, Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett, University of Tennessee President Joe DiPietro, University of Tennessee head football coach Butch Jones and wife Barb; Chancellor Deacon Sean Smith; Bruce Bosse of Merit Construction; architects James McCrery of McCrery Architects and Kelly Headden of BarberMcMurry Architects; Bruce Hartmann and Dugan McLaughlin.

Hartmann; and McLaughlin are chairs of the Sacred Heart Home Campaign. DiPietro and Butch and Barb Jones are honorary co-chairs of the cathedral development campaign.

God and Enoch would take a stroll, and talk.

However, one evening, they walked and talked longer and later than usual. And God said to Enoch, “Well, we are closer to my house than to yours. Why don’t you just come home with me?

So Enoch did just that.

He went (as my grandfather’s generation would say) to his “long home.”

He went home to be with God. When I was in high school, I had a voice teacher who taught me the song “I’ll Walk with God.” The last phrase of Paul Francis Webster’s text for that lovely tune is “And I’ll never walk alone while I walk with God.” Amen!

their new friends, get to know them and share their spiritual life with them.

When the visitors leave East Tennessee, they head out for more adventures in New York City and Los Angeles.

The migrant-worker family camp takes place “just outside of Beijing,” says Stewart. “There are close to 100 families, all migrant workers.” Volunteers from CSPC – usually a few high school and college students, along with five to 10 adults – mainly work with the children. “It’s very much like a vacation Bible school.”

If you’re interested in volunteering or otherwise supporting the program, visit cspc.net and click on “missions.”

“The whole goal,” says Stewart, “is to love the children.”

Room and board are provided by volunteer families from Cedar Springs, who are each assigned two students as houseguests. Days are mostly spent at the church. Each day begins with a devotional based on a theme such as friendship or forgiveness, along with a relevant Bible verse. Then a guest speaker expands on the theme. Fun activities and games follow.

Students also go on various day trips around the region. “We take them to Dollywood,” says Stewart, “and of course they spend a day in the mountains. Sometimes they get to go on a hayride at Cades Cove.” Teens from Cedar Springs accompany MATRIX • BACK TO BASICS • KENRA • REDKEN

Sacred Heart Cathedral rector Father David Boettner didn’t shy away from praying the “don’t rain on our parade” request, and he told the church-full of parishioners, dignitaries and guests of his prayer. His faith was rewarded. The rain began Sunday afternoon just as the groundbreaking ceremony for the new Sacred Heart cathedral had ended.

It was a grand and historic day for area Catholics, and dignitaries – both Catholic and not – came to help celebrate the groundbreaking on a new, nearly $30 million cathedral.

The Cathedral of the Sacred Heart of Jesus is 59 years old and has been the home parish for the Diocese of Knoxville since 1988, when it served approximately 33,000 parishioners.

Today, the number served by the diocese is nearing 70,000 Catholics. The new cathedral, scheduled to open Sep-

Enoch is remembered for two things: he was the father of Methuselah (famous for being the world’s oldest man, at age 969!) and for the fact that he did not die.

At least, that is how the Genesis account is understood. It is obviously subject to interpretation. To say that “he was no more, because God took him” could as easily mean that he died.

The Bible says “Enoch walked with God.” We usually understand such a statement to mean that a person was obedient to God, that such a person was extraordinarily good.

I think the writer of Genesis probably meant that, as well.

However, when I was a teenager, I heard an explanation of this passage that caught my imagination, and it has stuck with me. I have no idea what commentator or preacher interpreted this passage, but here it is.

Enoch walked with God. Every evening. In the cool of the evening,

Broiled Seafood Combination

By Mystery Diner Captain America (Chris Evans) and Thor (Chris Hemsworth) wrap up a mission in Eastern Europe.

sequel starts summer season

By Betsy Pickle With “Avengers: Age of Ultron” scaring off all the competition at the box office this weekend, the summer games begin with its Thursdaynight debut.

The competition for summerScarlett Johansson movie dolplays Black Widow. lars is always fierce, but “Age of Ultron” has an edge. It’s the follow-up to “The Avengers,” the third-highestgrossing movie of all time (after “Avatar” and “Titanic”). And with positive reviews trumpeting its way, it sounds as though this assemblage of Marvel heroes will be drawing crowds for weeks, if not months.

After saving the world from intergalactic villainy in 2012’s “The Avengers,” comic-book superheroes Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), Captain America (Chris Evans), Thor

(Chris Hemsworth), Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) et al. must deal with a human-made threat this time.

Ultron (voiced by James Spader) was created as an artificialintelligence program designed to keep peace in the world, but his aspirations transform him into a metal maniac with a thirst for world domination.

Other villains making life interesting for the heroes include Quicksilver (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) and Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen).

Also starring are Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, Don Cheadle as War Machine, Paul Bettany as Vision, Anthony Mackie as The Falcon and Hayley Atwell as Peggy Carter.

Joss Whedon returns as director and writer.

Hidden away – yet visible from one of Knoxville’s busiest streets – Chesapeake’s restaurant is worth the turns and fumbled directions it often takes first-timers to get there.

A part of the Copper Cellar family, Chesapeake’s is a fine-dining seafood restaurant located on Henley Street – according to the post office – but accessible only from Union Avenue in downtown Knoxville.

GPS users should use the 600 Union Ave. address.

Leave navigation troubles at the door and embrace the nautical Eastern seashore as you enter.

Chesapeake’s is an open, warm restaurant that can be cozy or rambunctious, depending on your mood and party.

If you order anything other than seafood at Chesapeake’s – well, I just don’t even know what to do with you. Yes, the appetizer onion rings are good – until you compare them to the Spiced Blue Crab Fingers.

After a cup of really rich crab bisque, Mys-

tery Diner was tempted to look at the sandwich menu, which boasts a Maryland Crab Cake Sandwich and Fried Fish Sandwich (along with other non-seafood items, but we’ve already had this discussion.). In the end, the Broiled Seafood Combination just was too tempting and also made a good lunch the next day.

The Seafood Combination is especially perfect for those of us who aren’t oyster fans. No need for substitutions when the platter has fresh fish, scallops, shrimp and a Maryland crab cake. The entire combination is sprinkled with breadcrumbs, lemon and butter. Yummy.

If by some chance you skip the appetizers and the soup, indulge in one of the city’s best desserts: Slower Delaware Pie. The chocolate cookie crust is laced with Kahlua then filled with Mayfield’s coffee ice cream and topped with hot fudge sauce, toasted pecans and Chantilly cream.

Makes you wish your GPS could drive the car home.

FRIDAY-SUNDAY

By Carol Shane Knoxvillians have long enjoyed home tours, usually in historic neighborhoods such as Fourth and Gill and Old North Knoxville. Old-house buffs can certainly find plenty to look at – our city boasts hundreds of beautiful Victorian and Craftsman dwellings.

But how about some new homes in old spaces? Spaces that weren’t originally meant to be residential?

Get ready for The City People Home Tour this weekend. Subtitled “Urban Spaces in Downtown Knoxville,” the tour includes 13 homes in 11 buildings.

Since its inception in 1985, the event has grown steadily. The first tour was called “Two Hundred Years of Living in the Old City” and included popular continental restaurant Annie’s (now defunct) and an artist gallery.

Presented by downtown Knoxville organization City People in partnership with Knox Heritage, this year’s tour includes Gay Street, several connecting side streets and beyond to the south side’s riverfront, as well as the north side’s Old City.

Developer David Dewhirst, who

owns several featured properties, says, “The City People Home Tour is the very best tool for downtown Knoxville to illustrate to a curious public the uniqueness and pleasure of urban living.”

Included on the tour are: ■ The Commerce Lofts, 122 S. Gay St. Built in the 1890s to support the growing Jackson Avenue warehouse district, it now holds 24 lofts and three commercial spaces.

■ White Lily Flats, 222 N. Central St. The original section of this building dates to 1885. The home of J. Allen Smith & Co., it has come to be known as the White Lily Building, after the company’s most famous product, White Lily Flour. The brand was later bought by the J.M. Smucker Co., and the mill closed in 2008.

■ The Holston, 531 S. Gay St. Known as the Hope Brothers Building, this 1898 structure started out housing a shoe store. In 1908, Hope Brothers Jewelers took up residence, operating as “Dealers in Rare Things and Fine Jewelry.”

■ JFG Flats, 200 W. Jackson Ave.

This five-story structure was built in 1924 and has served as a JFG coffee roasting plant for most of its history.

Founded in Morristown in 1882, the JFG company also offered tea, mayonnaise and peanut butter.

■ Gallery Lofts, 402 S. Gay St. Constructed after 1897’s “Million Dollar Fire,” which destroyed this entire block, the building was home to the McNulty Grocery and Dry Goods Co. Its lower floors are now the home of Mast General Store.

■ Emporium Lofts, 112 S. Gay St. Built in 1902 as the new home of Sterchi Brothers Furniture Store, it now holds residential and commercial spaces. One of the unique features of the building is that it retains access to underground Gay Street.

The City People Urban Homes Tour takes place from 5:30 to 8 p.m. Friday, May 1, and from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, May 2. Visitors will park and ride the trolley to each destination.

Tickets are $15. Info: 209-1616, citypeople.knox@gmail.com, or citypeoplehometour.org.

Weekend to explore Knoxville’s role in Civil War This weekend’s Blue and Gray Reunion and Freedom Jubilee will offer a host of activities for Civil War buffs as well as those who love Knoxville history.

The weekend is a combined effort of the Tennessee Civil War Sesquicentennial Commission and local historical organizations.

Registration is required for the state event, titled “Reconstruction in Tennessee,” at tncivilwar150.com.

Local offerings include Civil War fort tours, an 1860s baseball game, museum exhibits, a Civil War Exposition and notable performers and speakers like the Fisk Jubilee Singers, actor Ben Vereen and “Gettysburg”/“Gods and Generals” director Ron Maxwell, who will speak at the Blue and Gray Reunion Dinner − the only ticketed event.

The events are designed to educate the public on Knoxville’s unique role in the Civil War. Many will highlight the role that local John Hitt, portraying Captain James Rogers McCallum, and Ed African-Americans played White, portraying Colonel John Bell Brownlow, will participate in the war.

tory of African-Americans in Knoxville, will be available at the Freedom Jubilee opening ceremony at 11:30 a.m. Saturday, May 2, at the Beck Cultural Exchange Center, 1927 Dandridge Ave. The pamphlet includes details of the 1st U.S. Colored Heavy Artillery, mustered in Knoxville in February 1864.

In 1860, the city had approximately 4,000 residents, and 10 percent were slaves, says Calvin Chappelle, executive director of the Mabry-Hazen House, 1711 Dandridge Ave. The area had divided loyalties, so it was easier to muster black troops here than it would have been in the Deep South.

The pamphlet also describes a city-funded project to transcribe thousands of pages of handwritten records of the regiment that are part of the National Archives in Washington, D.C. The first of three volumes of the transcription will be unveiled at the opening ceremony, and Chappelle says the searchable PDF file will provide valuable insight into the lives of the soldiers.

Visitors should park at Walter Hardy Park, 2020 Martin Luther King Jr. Ave. Old Gray Cemetery, 543 N. Broadway, will have a living history exhibit at 1 p.m. on Saturday. Bearden resident Bud Albers will talk about his grandfather, Andrew Jackson Albers, who chaired Knoxville’s 1890 Civil War reunion, and is buried at Old Gray. Reenactors will portray other noteworthy veterans buried there, like Colonel John Bell Brownlow and James Rogers McCallum, a member of “The Immortal 600,” a

group of Confederate soldiers used as human shields on Morris Island in Charleston harbor.

Over 240 veterans, from both sides, are interred at Old Gray, says executive director Alix Dempster.

First Presbyterian, 620 State Street, is acknowledging the weekend’s events with a service titled “Remembrance, Reunion and Reconciliation in a Divided Nation.” Music will come from an 1890 hymnal, and Beck Cultural Exchange Center president Renee Kessler and state Rep. Joe Armstrong will participate.

The service is intended to recognize the contributions of African American soldiers during the Civil War, says Pastor William Pender.

New East Physical Therapy center Champion Physical Therapy has just opened its seventh location and is eager to serve the East Knox community. Champion opened its first center eight years ago in Halls and has continued to grow at a steady pace.

Brett Kolnick, VP of operations, couldn’t contain his excitement while leading a tour of the new facility.

“We have unique equipment most often found in gyms,” Kolnick explained.

He gave a hands-on demonstration of the equipment. Battle ropes, an exercise pulley system and the “land mine” are designed to work all parts of the body.

“I’m real big on teaching the reason why we’re doing something to get to the end results. I try to motivate

“Treatment is designed with one-on-one care and each session is individualized for the patient and their functional limitations,” said Kolnick. He explained how easy it is to start treatment and why people should not be “putting up” with their pain.

“We take all insurances and will see people within 24 hours,” said Kolnick. “We work with people who have high deductibles with a nointerest payment plan.” As he explains the motto, “You don’t have to be a champion to be treated like one,” there is no doubt how important people’s health is to Kolnick.

UT Medical Center uses DeRoyal tracking system UT Medical Center and DeRoyal Industries are partnering on a supplies tracking system with the potential to revolutionize efficiency and patient safety in the operating room. The system, Continuum OR, created by DeRoyal and tested and refined at the medical center, uses radio frequency identification technology to develop surgery procedure supply lists specific to each surgeon and improve inventory management and supply tracking.

“As in most facilities, the tracking of supplies was primarily a manual system often performed by clinical staff,” said Brian C. DeBusk, chief executive officer at DeRoyal Industries.

The average rate of items collected for a surgical procedure that are not used has been estimated to be as high 70 percent. As a result of the collaboration the medical center has seen improvements to operating room efficiencies and patient safety.

News from Hallsdale Powell Utility District

TDEC consent order forces change in rate structure

By Darren Cardwell

Hallsdale Powell Utility District (HPUD) is changing its basic rate structure, primarily to enable the District to meet and Cardwell c o m p l y with a Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation mandated Consent Order. For some of our customers, particularly our smallest users, this change will likely save them money. None of this will take place until September.

For years, HPUD has operated with a “minimum bill” structure. No matter how little water and sewer

service you used, you had to pay the minimum.

That will change. There will now be a small base charge for having service and you will only pay for what you actually use. Here are some specifics: Water: The base rate will be $8.47 plus an additional $8.06 for each thousand gallons used.

Sewer: The base rate for sewer will be $9.98 plus an additional $9.39 per each thousand gallons used.

While minimum use customers will see a slight drop in their monthly bills, for the average consumer (using 4,000 gallons per month) your combined water/sewer bill will go up an average of $2.65.

The new rate structure will be implemented in September 2015. The new rate

structure will help support the State and EPA mandated upgrades to the sewer system. Since the District does not receive tax dollars from the local, state or federal government, the rates have to support the mandated improvements needed for the sewer system. The Board also approved the FY 2016 budget, which only increased approximately one percent from the last budget. The budget will be sent to the comptroller’s office for final approval.

While we obviously would prefer not to raise rates at all, please understand that these additional funds will be used to upgrade the system, reduce sanitary sewage overflows and help create a cleaner, better environment.

blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking, diet and weight.

Dr. Krisle reminded his audience that a healthy diet can reduce cardiovascular events, and recommended low carbohydrate and low fat diets, including the Mediterranean Diet but cautioned against using too much of the olive oil in that diet because of its high calorie count.

His final word on cardiovascular issues: “If you think you’re having a heart attack, go to the emergency room immediately.”

May 6 Knoxville 5FIVE15 Fun Run to Benefit Amputee Athletes Seventeen-yearold DJ Vander wer f loves to run.

The Sweetwater teen enjoys competing in 5K road races and continuously cha llenges himself to improve his speed and race times.

DJ Vanderwerf com“I’m acpetes in a 5K wearing tive and alhis prosthesis from Amways on the putee Blade Runners. go. I believe you can do anything you want if you put your mind to it,” says Vanderwerf.

Running hasn’t always been a smooth road for Vanderwerf. Because of a birth defect, his left foot was amputated when he was just 9 months old. He’s been wearing a prosthesis ever since.

Despite his prosthesis, Vanderwerf has excelled at many sports, earning top spots on the Sweetwater High School football, basketball and baseball teams.

“I don’t see myself as different because of my prosthesis. I’m just a normal kid who loves to play sports,” says Vanderwerf.

The only sport Vanderwerf has struggled to conquer is distance running. The prosthesis leg he has for daily wear and team sports isn’t suitable for comfortable distance running.

Two years ago Vanderwerf and his family learned about Amputee Blade Runners (ABR), a non-profit group that provides free running prosthetics for amputee athletes. ABR’s team of prosthetists, physicians and fabricators donate their time to construct and fit athletes with a custom running leg. Because running prosthesis are not considered “medically neces-

sary”, they aren’t normally covered by insurance. Through ABR, Vanderwerf was fitted with a flexible carbon-fiber blade that has allowed him to run safely and comfortably ever since.

Now, Vanderwerf hopes to raise awareness about Amputee Blade Runners and assist them in helping other amputees. He’s serving as an Ambassador for ABR’s 5FIVE15 fundraiser.

It will be held Wednesday, May 6, at 5:30pm, at Bearden Runner’s Market in Knoxville.

“Donate $5 and run or walk for five minutes or five miles. We hope to raise $15,000 to buy running sports legs for five amputees,” explains Vanderwerf.

The May 6th Knoxville event is part of the national 5FIVE15 Campaign. Amputee Blade Runners’ goal is to provide a running prosthesis to at least one athlete in all 50 states by 2016. Vanderwerf says it’s a goal worth striving for.

“ABR helps adults and kids like me be active and normal. It’s a great organization and I hope people will come out and help us reach our goal!”
