at Glenwood Baptist Church

By Theresa Edwards Glenwood Baptist Church celebrated 122 years of worship and community at its Sept. 23 homecoming. A time of remembrance was led by Randy Williamson as names of those who passed during the previous year were read: Eva Geneva Simpson “Mimi” Atkins, Yvonne E. Whetsell, D.C. “Buck” Wilson, Josie Meredith Fine, Barbara Jean Bevins, Roger “Hot Rod” Bettis, James “JB” Hayes, Elizabeth Ann Garrison “Gootie” Childress, Robert Lee Jones, Mildred Inez Lewis and Helen Hughes Brown. Flowers in the sanctuary were given in loving memory of their parents by the John M. Karns family. Faithful Service Awards honoring Mr. Karns were presented to Jim Cates and Katherine Pennington. Former youth pastor Dr. Mike Thompson, who is now senior pastor at Second Baptist Church in Clinton, brought the message. Afterwards, everyone enjoyed lunch in the auditorium. Each table was decorated with family heirlooms and antiques to enhance the theme of “Back Then.” Photos were also displayed. The pastor of Glenwood Baptist Church, 7212 Central Ave. Pike, is the Rev. Travis Henderson.

Minister of music Emily Harbin leads praise worship.

Inskip Elementary’s reading scores soared last year, catching everybody’s attention and leading to an appropriation of $3 million to replicate the program in nine other schools. Inskip was one of five elementary schools to pilot the first-grade reading intervention program. In one year, it is credited with moving the proficiency in reading score at Inskip from 27.7 percent to 98.9 percent.

Rubbing shoulders with the rich and famous Big band leader Brad Walker got to rub shoulders with the rich and famous earlier this year when he attended a 90th birthday party for trumpeter and bandleader Ray Anthony in Los Angeles.

Jake Mabe MY TWO CENTS Walker performed as a pickup musician in Anthony’s band a few times several years ago when Anthony was still touring. They have remained good friends. “He’s even sent me ar-

rangements for my band,” Walker says. “Some of the biggest requests we get are for his charts.” Anthony is best known for “The Bunny Hop” and for hit singles of the TV themes to “Dragnet” and “Peter Gunn.” He also hosted a short-lived variety show and worked with everyone from Frank Sinatra to Hugh Hefner. The party was held at the Odyssey restaurant in Beverly Hills. Anthony’s orchestra played and about 200 friends and families helped Anthony celebrate. Among them were Hefner, record producer Berry Gordy and actor Jerry Stiller. Anthony has promised Walker he will conduct Walker’s band at its 10th anniversary celebration next year.

Walker also played a private gig at Cherokee Country Club last month with trombone player Bob Havens, who was a member of Bob Havens Lawrence Welk’s band for 30 years and was a familiar face on Welk’s TV show. “He’s 82 years old,” Walker says, “and still plays very well. We did some Dixieland music, which is his specialty.” Walker said his favorite Bob Havens story revolved around the advice Welk used to give his band and singers: “Look like you’re having fun but don’t have any.” “A lot of jazz musicians

Photos submitted poke fun at Welk, but he had one of the best bands and was very organized,” Walker said. “A lot of people asked Bob why he played with Welk for so long. He said, ‘Well, No. 1, he pays well and it’s a steady job, and No. 2, it’s great music.’ ” Coincidentally enough, Walker’s friend Anthony tried to hire Havens away from Welk to play on Anthony’s TV show.

“Ray Anthony’s show only lasted about six months. Bob said, ‘I made the right choice!’ ” Walker says the big band business is booming and is starting to become popular among college students. He’s got a few big dates planned for 2013 and says folks can keep up with the band through its Facebook page or by emailing Walker at bwtrombonejazz@ aol.com.

Tickets are available now for the Powell Playhouse production of “Arsenic and Old Lace.” The play runs from Oct. 25-28 at Jubilee Banquet Facility on Callahan Drive. Dinner will be offered on Oct. 25-26 only. Advance tickets for the dinner/play are $25. Play tickets only for all performances are $10 at the door.

The hospital now employs almost 500 associates and is the largest customer of Hallsdale Powell Utility District. As a for-profit business, Tennova has become a major taxpayer in Knox County. Last year, the north fa-

cility had 99,000 patient interactions. The hospital has aroundtheclock emergency services, surgery, cardiology and pulmonology critical care, diagnostic imaging and a full service lab. Patient rooms are identically sized with the same layout in every room. This consistency allows nurses and other clinicians to work more efficiently, especially during emergencies.

Anthony Hancock and Johnny Majors Photo by Betty Bean

Majors suits up for Hancock Anthony Hancock was the first player Johnny Majors signed to wear Tennessee orange, snatching him right out from under the nose of Woody Hayes on signing day. Both Majors and the legendary Ohio State coach were stalking the halls of Cleveland’s John Hay High school on the first day to sign National Letters of Intent in 1978. Hancock remembers it like it was yesterday. “The bell rang for third period, and down the left side of the hall you could see this giant guy, (6-8 OSU Lombardi Trophy winner John Hicks), and right next to him, this little bitty white guy, Coach Hayes. On the left side there were (Tennessee wide receivers coach) Bob Harrison and Johnny Majors. My athletic director didn’t allow either head coach to talk to me,” Hancock said. After school, his AD took Hancock to see his father in the hospital. Majors met him there, and he and his dad signed on with Tennessee. Except for the years when he played wide receiver for the Kansas City Chiefs, Hancock has been here ever since, working in public service-oriented jobs – as a small business development specialist for the state of Tennessee, for the Boy Scouts (where he helped 12 inner-city kids attain the rank of Eagle Scout), and now as a special education teacher at Bearden Elementary School who is deeply concerned about educational issues – from Headstart and school lunches (which he supports) to the Tennessee Virtual Academy (which he doesn’t). Hancock, a Democrat who lives in the West Hills

Betty Bean home he bought for his parents with his NFL money, is the underdog in the heavily Republican 18th District state House race. Majors, who weighed about 150 with rocks in his pockets when he signed on to play single wing tailback under Gen. Robert R. Neyland, knows something about being an underdog, and he’s standing with his player. The old coach gave a stem-winder of a speech in Hancock’s behalf at a West Knox fundraiser. He first said he is not anti-Republican. He liked Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush, but doesn’t think much of today’s ultra-conservatives. “I have been very disturbed for several years about the anger that the right wing has brought to the political scene,” he said. “You can look at cartoons going back to Jefferson’s days, and some of them are just dastardly. But the anger and greed of today’s right wing is unmatched. “Do you think I want the Tennessee legislature handling my Medicare? Give me some coupons to go shop for medical care? I don’t know how anybody who’s educated and has any common sense could vote for somebody like that crazy (Stacey) Campfield (a close ally of Hancock’s opponent, Steve Hall).” Majors praised Hancock as “a team man” who has led a life of service. “He is a man of great character and integrity who has done a lot of good for people. He was always ready when the whistle blew.”

Martin leads Lakeshore negotiations Lakeshore Mental Health Institute off Lyons View Pike closed this summer after better than a century of service. Intense discussions are underway between the city and state for some 65 acres which may be added to Lakeshore Park. It is a major undertaking. Countless legal and financial questions must be answered, and the process is likely to last for months. Larry Martin, now a top Haslam aide in Nashville, is representing the state, while Deputy Mayor Eddie Mannis represents the city. Also involved are state commissioners Mark Cates and Mark Emkes; and city leaders Bill Lyons, Charles Swanson, Christi Branscom and Lee Miracle. No governor could be more familiar with this land, since Haslam’s home on Sherwood Drive is less than a mile away. His fam-

ily company, Pilot Flying J, gave one of the ball fields at Lakeshore. What funding, if any, comes with property for those buildings which will require demolition? The city wants some financial assistance for demolition and the state prefers to transfer the property with more limited financial aide. Martin knows the issue well. Another issue is how to use the historic administration building. What city offices, if any, might be housed there? What use will it have? The current building has some structural issues. The city already has 13

empty buildings transferred more than a year ago for which a decision on use or demolition must be made. This is great news for park advocates in that the land will remain in public hands and be added to the city’s inventory to make Lakeshore an even greater park for all Knoxvillians to enjoy. Despite the significant costs associated with the transfer, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity for the city. For me personally, it is exciting to see the original acquisition, which I pushed with help from Jimmy Haslam, Caesar Stair and Tom McAdams going back to the early 1990s with the late Gov. Ned McWherter’s support, expanding and reaching its full potential for public recreational use. In my view, it is appropriate for the state to assist in the cost of demolition of

‘Going out of business’ Bedelle recalls city-county schools merger Dr. Fred Bedelle says it’s a misnomer to refer to the “merger” or the “consolidation” of the local city and county school systems.

Anne Hart

“What actually happened is that in 1987 the city simply went out of the schools business and the county took over,” Bedelle says. As superintendent of the city system at that time, and as a longtime employee of the county school system under Mildred Doyle before then, Bedelle played a critical role in the complicated undertaking of combining the two systems, and in the process worked himself right out of a job, or, as the erudite Dr. Bedelle puts it with a laugh: “I was eliminated by plebiscite.” And he’s correct again, because it took an actual vote of the people to put the city of Knoxville out of the schools business and the highly-respected Dr. Bedelle out of his job. But combining the systems was far more complicated than just a vote of the citizens. While efforts over several decades to consolidate the city of Knoxville and Knox County governments into one entity had repeat-

edly failed, 1986-87 yielded a “perfect storm” for the school system, but it wasn’t an easy process. Bedelle In 1986, Mayor Kyle Testerman saw that the city was running out of money to fund the schools or much of anything else. A huge budget deficit loomed, created in large part by pensions promised to teachers in lieu of salary increases in the past. As the city had gobbled up land through annexation over the years in an effort to increase its tax base, it had also acquired many county schools in the process – this in spite of the fact that the ever-shrewd Mildred Doyle, who served as Knox County’s elected schools superintendent from 1945 to 1975, had cleverly located many county schools at the outer edges of the county, far away from any likely annexation. Nonetheless, during the 1960s, for example, a total of 30 county schools were taken over by the city through annexation. As the costs of maintaining those schools and funding their administrative costs grew, the city had been postponing critical work on school buildings, including removing asbestos from some of them. The money for such projects simply wasn’t available. While the city was finding itself in a financial quagmire, Bedelle, who is soon to publish a book reflecting on the history of the local

War on peddlers Commissioner R. Larry Smith has declared war on the weekend peddlers that frequent major roads, such as Maynardville Pike in Halls and Smith Clinton Highway in Powell. “This should be the last summer for them,” said Smith. He’s asked Law Director Bud Armstrong to draft a resolution or ordinance to enable the county’s codes enforcement to control the roadside vendors. What can be done? “We can ask them to have written permission from the property owner,” Smith said. “I’m not after the yard sales in subdivisions, but those almost permanent businesses on the sides of the road.” He said he’s received numerous complaints. Last week, Smith could not block planned commercial rezoning of Sam Connor’s 17 acres on Emory Road just west of Central Avenue Pike. Smith wanted to know what was going there, but lawyer Arthur Seymour Jr. said a developer will not buy it withough the rezoning. The vote to rezone passed, 7-2. – S. Clark

schools, recalls that “Nashville had just consolidated its government, and there was a push for consolidation all across the state. “Locally, when city-county consolidation was voted on in the past, city voters would approve it, but county voters would not. City voters would claim they were being double taxed for education; county voters didn’t want to do without the state money they would lose with a combined school system.” Faced with a looming $90 million budget shortfall for funding the teachers’ pension, Testerman announced in 1986 that he would place a referendum on the ballot in the November general election to amend the city charter “to abolish the city of Knoxville public school system.” The vote passed in the city with more than 55 percent approval. The vote was in, but still, “it was a difficult time for everyone,” Bedelle recalls. “Regardless of what anyone says, the two school systems served different clienteles.” And then there were the differences in pensions and salaries and holiday schedules and insurance and on and on. Finally, it took a court order on June 30, 1987, just one day before the scheduled changeover, to settle some of those issues, and years to settle others. And the city’s massive obligation to the city teachers’ pension fund? The court ruled that the city must pay it after all. Twenty-five years later, Dr. Bedelle, with his remarkable sense of humor still in place, says of the whole experience: “I’ve still got the scars.”

(Zephaniah 3: 17-18a NRSV) Joy is the infallible sign of the presence of God.

TALES OF TENNESSEE | Marvin West

he Tennessee cross-country family is celebrating the historic NCAA championship of 40 years ago. Oh, the joy of triumphant recollections, tall tales, monstrous exaggerations and bare-faced lies. In this case, 70 or more old Vols could do or say whatever they chose. It was their show. The university athletic department, in the financial arrears, could not feed the multitude, not at Calhounâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on the River. Best I can tell, crosscountry running has been and remains an almost private enterprise. Through the decades, there were very few witnesses and almost no applause. Races happened and virtually nobody noticed. The band did not play. There were no requests for autographs. The persistent might have found a short story if the newspaper had one. Cross-country appears simple enough. Lean, dedicated, determined people stride six miles or so around a golf course or perhaps over hill and vale and back to the starting point. If winning is important, all it takes is all youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got. Some who ran, Frankie Albertson for example, tell me it is a tough game. No intermission, no timeouts, no substitutions and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let the guy in front get too far ahead. In the grand and colorful sports history of the University of Tennessee, distance runners have won that one national title. It happened in Houston, Glenbrook golf course, Nov. 20, 1972, damp, dreary day, temperature in the 40s. Stan Huntsman was the proud coach. Doug Brown, Roberto Lenarduzzi, Danny Zoeller, John Angel and Ron Addison carried the colors in what was probably a thrilling upset of East Tennessee State. I missed it. I was doing football. I do know the Bucs were logical favorites. Coach David Walker had imported the Irish brigade. Neil Cusack, born in Limerick, came through as projected. He won the individual championship. Brown ran a few seconds behind but a few seconds in front of another Irishman, Eddie Leddy. Patrick Leddy was in the general vicinity.

Low score wins in crosscountry, determined by the finish of the best five runners representing a school. Tennessee totaled 134 points. ETSU was assessed 148. Oregon was handicapped. Steve Prefontaine skipped the meet. We got a few quotes from Huntsman: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every coach in the country dreams of a national championship and suddenly we have one. That was the biggest day in my coaching life. I am extremely proud of these men. They worked. They deserved to win.â&#x20AC;? Huntsman said he got the feeling with a couple of miles to go that the Vols were in the hunt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A coach canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see much of the race but you can

pick out teams you think are competitive and look for their fifth man. At four miles, a lot of teams were out of business.â&#x20AC;? Some runners fold under pressure. Some sprint at the wrong time, when they should maintain a steady pace. Now and then, one falls and three trip over him. Brown had a strong closing kick. Angel, from Farragut High, gave great effort. Addison, left behind at the motel when the team went to the golf course, caught a bus and arrived in plenty of time to grab that crucial fifth scoring spot for the Vols. Cheers for the champs.

here is a difference between happiness and joy. The dictionary struggles to make the distinction, sometimes using the one term to define the other. Lara cries, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lord, what joy!â&#x20AC;? when she learns that Zhivago is still alive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Joy to the world,â&#x20AC;? the hymn declares. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Lord is come!â&#x20AC;? If happiness is lemonade, then joy is champagne. Happiness is a smile; joy is a shriek of laughter. And de Chardin assures us that joy is Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trademark, Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s signature, the surest sign of Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presence. So why are there so many grumpy religious folks? Have they not read the memo? Have they not heard the Good News? What is the message we send the world when Christians canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be gracious â&#x20AC;&#x201C; full of grace â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with each other? If faith, and by association joy, were conta-

gious, would there be an epidemic in your neighborhood, or would your neighbors be safe? And more to the point, does Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presence create joy? Or is God drawn to joy wherever God finds it, because joy is Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s native tongue? I sometimes ponder Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s activity in creation. Imagine dreaming up waterfalls and hummingbirds, starfish and puppies, ocean waves and grizzly bears! I wonder if God said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wow, what would happen if I â&#x20AC;Ś?â&#x20AC;? and then clapped His hands and the Orion nebula appeared? Did God laugh? Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presence â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s joy â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gift to us, if we can but open our hearts and eyes and minds to it. Even on the bleakest of our days, the sun comes up (maybe covered by clouds, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s there!), another day dawns, the earth spins, a mother sings, and somewhere a baby laughs.

My theology has been shaped and molded by music all my life. (That may be true of all of us: the adage says â&#x20AC;&#x153;The faith we sing is the faith we believe,â&#x20AC;? which is why I try to choose hymns carefully!) It is Mark Hayesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; anthem â&#x20AC;&#x153;And the Father Will Danceâ&#x20AC;? (a setting of the Zephaniah text quoted above) that is for me the most exuberant expression of Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s joy in creation: â&#x20AC;&#x153;And the Father will dance as on a day of joy; He will exult over you and renew you by His love.â&#x20AC;? The music dances and lilts and skips and twirls, and I can almost see the Almighty bending to paint a flower and pat a puppy; I can see Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great hand reaching to snatch a star out of the heavens and toss it to a child like a ball. Teilhard de Chardin was right! Joy â&#x20AC;&#x201C; wherever it bubbles up â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is the infallible sign of the presence of God!

Coffee Break with

never got into any real trouble (well, maybe a little).

Other than your parents, who has had the biggest influence on your life and why? I guess I would have to say three people: Father Tom Murphy, a Jesuit priest in Connecticut where I was born; Father Tom Francis, a Cistercian monk at the monastery in Conyers, Ga.; and Chuck Sawyer, a friend who helped me so much with my career at the old Magnavox Company and Philips Consumer Electronics Company.

I still can’t quite get the hang of … I can handle email but that’s it. While preparing for our recent caregiver expo in August, the committee members told me we would rely on social media coverage. I’m not kidding. I didn’t know what that meant.

Bob Coyne

Bob Coyne is well known for being dedicated to helping caregivers. He has a genuine compassion for caregivers since he took care of his wife 5 1/2 years during her illness. “There is not a greater calling in life than taking care of your loved one,” Bob says. His desire is to better equip those who are caregivers or who may become caregivers. He does this through free seminars, support groups and a caregivers expo. Bob’s next seminar is 10 a.m. Thursday, Oct. 4, at the Strang Senior Center (call 670-6693 to register). He offers a caregivers support group meeting 9:30-11 a.m. the first Monday of each month at All Saints Catholic Church. It is a Christian-based, nondenominational group. Bob also enjoys reading, music, and attending concerts and plays. He goes with a special friend, Joan, who has similar interests. They also share a common bond in that she took care of her husband many years before he passed away. “She really helped me through my depression after my wife died,” Bob said. Bob has two married daughters: Christine Kimmey, who lives in Toledo, Ohio, has two sons, Nicholas and Evan, who are both in college; and Diane Burek, who lives in Roanoke, Va., has two daughters, Emily and Julia. Sit and have a Coffee Break as you get to know Bob Coyne:

What is the best advice your mother ever gave you? My mother said, “Don’t ever do anything you wouldn’t do in front of me and don’t ever do anything that would make me cry.”

What is your social media of choice? Email, telephone, hand-written notes ... nobody writes notes anymore. I have a website but I’m still trying to figure out how to use it.

What is the worst job you have ever had? As a young boy, I worked in an industrial laundry company in Bridgeport, Conn. It was horrible – hot and no air conditioning!

What was your favorite Saturday morning cartoon and why? What are the top three things on your bucket list? 1. Go back to Ireland for another visit. 2. Go back to Boston to see WBZ-TV where I worked. 3. To visit Rome and see the Vatican.

What is one word others often use to describe you and why? Help caregivers (oops, that’s two).

What are you guilty of? Before retiring in 1998, I was a micromanager, which my staff didn’t appreciate. Since retiring, that stopped.

What is your favorite material possession? My original Gibson guitar from 1949.

What are you reading currently? Dave Ramsey’s “Entire Leadership.” It’s a great guide for a future dream I have.

What was your most embarrassing moment? That was way back in 1985 when Philips Consumer Electronics had a big press show in New York for the introduction of a new product. I was assigned to escort Dick Clark around the room to introduce him to some of our executives. First introduction, I forgot his name for a few seconds. I have a picture with him.

If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? Lose 25 pounds.

“Sky King.” I loved the idea that I could fly around in my own plane some day.

What irritates you? Gossips. Hypocrites.

What’s one place in Karns or Hardin Valley everyone should visit? I used to love the greasy hamburgers at Sims Deli, but it’s gone now. I used to take my grandchildren there; they loved it! Now, I think it would be the Ben Atchley State Veteran’s Home. What a beautiful setting for those veterans. I’ve visited friends there.

What is your greatest fear?

What is your passion? That’s an easy answer – to teach caregivers the realities of caring for a loved one. That is, they must learn to cope with the pressures of caregiving while praying with hope for recovery of their loved one but with the acceptance of reality.

With whom, living or dead, would you most like to have a long lunch? My father. He died at 39 leaving a young widow with three small boys to raise ... which, by the way, she did a fabulous job. She never remarried and my two brothers

I guess it would be passing away before I see my dream of opening a special facility for caregivers services; sort of a day care where they can come for a bit of respite among supportive people.

If you could do one impulsive thing, what would it be? A European cruise on the Rhine in one of those big slow ships with a special friend. – Theresa Edwards Have a friend or neighbor you think we should get to know?

Panthers still grinding Powell’s football team has managed to establish itself as one of the tougher teams in the district this year. Standing at 5-1 overall and 3-1 in District 3-AAA, the Panthers toughed one out most recently against Beaver Creek rival Karns. Powell’s Hagen Owenby threw touchdown passes and proved himself to be as versatile as anybody, gaining 90 more yards on the ground. The Beavers took a 7-0 lead to start the game, but Powell showed composure as it struck back twice with touchdown passes to Andrew Cox and Klay Leeper to take a 14-7 lead into halftime. The second half wasn’t pretty for either team, but the Panthers managed to score and show that they

can play four quarters of ball – not just two. That’s a good sign, especially as the postseason approaches. Montario Washington sealed the victory with a 15 yard run in the fourth quarter to score. He ﬁnished with 97 yards on 17 carries. The Powell defense was something to talk about, too. The Panthers held the Beavers to just 161 yards and intercepted the ball twice – once by Michael Brown and again by Jacob Bezark. Karns dropped to 1-5 overall.

The Panthers return home to Scarbro Stadium Friday, Oct. 5, for the homecoming game against the Clinton Dragons. Clinton (1-4) is coming off their ﬁrst victory of the season, a 24-8 win over Campbell County. Powell has won two straight against the Dragons and it doesn’t look like anything will be different this year. A win here should clinch a postseason spot for Powell, and the playoffs are just three weeks away after Friday’s matchup. How the Panthers perform now shapes where they land in the playoff bracket, and where they play. Should Powell win out and ﬁnish off the season with wins against Campbell County and Central, the Panthers should have

Inskip was one of five elementary schools to pilot the fi rst-grade reading intervention program. In one year, it is credited with moving the proficiency in reading score at Inskip from 27.7 percent to 98.9 percent. Principal Dr. Elisa Luna said the program works because teachers and students get on the same page. “Then we work hard, and just keep working.” At Friday’s ceremony, Tom Catani told the students that he has fi ve children who are all “big.” He moved the kids closer to him and read about Dexter, a small dog that was bullied by a bigger cat. “Everything about him was small, but his dreams.” Catani asked students if they have big dreams. One said she wants to “fly like Dexter,” and Catani suggested becoming an airplane pilot.

Macaw at Market Square By Theresa Edwards Belle is a macaw who enjoys socializing. She was greeting people at Market Square Farmers Market alwith owner Chris Connone. Belle was doing well, climbing onto the arm of those who offered it to her. “She prefers the left side,” Connone said when she would not go onto someone’s right arm. She perched on Connone’s

left side, until a hawk appeared in a tree above. She became disturbed, climbed up her owner’s left arm, across her back and onto her right shoulder.

The most prestigious award, the Whitney M. Young Lifetime Achievement award, is named to honor the fourth executive director of the National Urban League. Previous winners include Helen Ashe and Ellen Turner, Robert Booker, Margaret and Felix Gaiter, Dr. Robert Harvey, Sarah Moore Greene and Gloria Garner. This year’s entertainment will be provided by En Vogue, an American female R&B vocal group from Oakland, Calif., which has won seven MTV Video Music Awards, four Soul Train Awards, six American Music Awards and seven Grammy nominations.

NEWS FROM GRACE CHRISTIAN ACADEMY OF KNOXVILLE

Mayor visits history class

Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett visits with Susan Witt’s 7th grade class at Grace Christian Academy. They are: (front) Garrett Lay, Alex Seaver, Sarah McIntyre, Haley Rudl, Darby Flickinger, Grace Dotson, Sara Houff, AnnaKatherine Vance; (back) Susan Witt, Bryson Morris, Paxton Cherry, Jadon Tullock, Eric Beecham, Alex Row, Grant Ledford, Luciano Ganziano, Savannah Sponcia, Lauren Hickey, Austin Payne, William Wallace, Matthew Cleveland, Diego Carrasco, Noah Smith and Burchett.

By Shannon Morris Susan Witt’s 7th grade class at Grace Christian Academy’s Middle School was honored to receive a visit from Knox County mayor Tim Burchett Sept. 19. Burchett spoke to the students, not just about political issues, but also about his own life and calling into public service. Burchett said he was raised in a godly home, where values that are important for society were instilled at a foundational level. His

interest in politics was sparked by these values, and the fact that he perceived a lack of integrity in local government. As a Knoxville native, Burchett felt that he could make a difference in the lives of his fellow Knoxvillians, encouraging them to take ownership in their communities and to work together to make our city a better place for all to live. In addition, Burchett spoke of the importance of making wise choices in life that will make a difference in the future.

Witt’s class was excited to have Knox County’s mayor pay them a personal visit, and they were challenged by his words of encouragement. We want to thank mayor Tim Burchett for taking time from his schedule to invest in the lives of our 7th grade students, and for reminding them that we all need to work in cooperation to make Knoxville one of the best cities in Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett greets Grace Christian Academy 7th grade teacher Susan Witt.

After the results were in, one lucky Grace junior came away with a brand new class ring of his own.

Homecoming on the horizon Homecoming is always one of the highlights of the school year. It is a time when former students can return to the place where they created so many memories, and to renew old acquaintances. It’s no different at Grace Christian Academy, as faculty and students past and present look forward to Friday, Oct. 5, for the annual celebration. The GCA football team will take on the Tellico Plains Bears that evening, and at halftime, the Homecoming Court will be presented and one young lady will be crowned Homecoming Queen.

Last week, the GCA student body nominated and elected their class representatives for the Homecoming court. The high school grades select one female student each to represent their fellow students, and the senior class chooses three young ladies. The court is made up of all six of these princesses, and each will participate in the halftime activities during Homecoming. One of the three senior ladies will be crowned our 2012 Homecoming queen that night. Being selected to the GCA Homecoming Court is a high honor for these ladies. Each of these girls are chosen by the

strong qualities they exhibit, including having good character, high integrity, school spirit, a solid grade point average and an overall love for our school. This year’s nominees are: freshman, Amanda Stooksbury; sophomore, Morgan Cleveland; junior, Brittany Lane; seniors, Leeanna Palmer, Elizabeth Seal and Madison Taylor. Along with naming the Homecoming Queen, all GCA alumni are treated to special recognition at halftime. We truly treasure all of the students who have been a part of the Grace family, and we love seeing all of them on this special night.

Komen Knoxville saves lives, funds research

ane B Brannon rannon take takes kess th the fight against breast fight cancer personally. The executive director of Komen Knoxville is an 11-year breast cancer survivor herself. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You get a new normal,â&#x20AC;? she says of her diagnosis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never the same.â&#x20AC;? The fight against the disease even changed B r a n n o n â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s professional t r aje c tor y. Two years after her diagnosis, she was on Komen Jane Brannon Knoxvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s board, and when the executive director position opened up, she left her marketing job to come aboard. Her goals now mirror the organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s: to promote early breast cancer detec-

tion tio ti on and nd to to provide provid ide ffundunding for screenings. Last year, funding from Komen Knoxville provided screenings that found 43 breast cancers in the 16 counties it serves. Komen Knoxville is the local affi liate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure. It was launched when local psychologist Renee Repka organized the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first Race for the Cure in 1997. One thousand participants were expected, but more than 2,000 showed up for the 5k run/walk. The Knoxville affi liate was incorporated as a nonprofit in 1999. More than 11,000 participated in the Komen Knoxville Race for the Cure last year. Around 85 percent of the local organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual revenue comes from race proceeds, says Brannon. The race not

only raises funds f unds d â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it raises raiises awareness. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody learns from the race, not just the runners,â&#x20AC;? she says. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s race is Saturday, Oct. 27. Awareness is important, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the next step â&#x20AC;&#x201C; action â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that trips many women up. Even affluent, educated women in Tennessee still struggle with talking about breast cancer openly, says Brannon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We fight against the mores of the region.â&#x20AC;? Focus groups have shown that African-American women are particularly slow to get screened for breast cancer. Many of them view sickness as a sign of weakness. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important that all women understand that outcomes are generally good for those who are di-

Lifesaving tips from Susan G. Komen for the Cure â&#x2013; Know your risk by learning about your family health history and talking to your health care provider about your own personal risk. â&#x2013; Ask your doctor which screening tests are right for you if you are at a higher risk. Get screened by having a mammogram every year starting at age 40 if you are at average risk. Have a clinical breast exam at least every three years starting at age 20 and every year starting at age 40. â&#x2013; Know what is normal for you and report any changes to your health care provider right away. â&#x2013; Make healthy lifestyle choices that may reduce your risk of breast cancer.

agnosed early, she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you are screened early, you have a 99 percent chance of long-term survival.â&#x20AC;? Many of the women in Komen Knoxvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s service area donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have access to affordable health care and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have transportation. And while Knox County has several screening and treatment facilities, many surrounding counties do not. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where Komen Knoxville comes in. The affi liate has provided $4.2 million in community grants since it began. Grant requests are reviewed by an independent committee of community partners, which bases decisions on a bi-annual needs assessment. One recent grant recipient is the Dayspring Family Health Center in Jellico, Tenn., which provides breast health awareness and mammography screening to uninsured and underinsured women in Campbell County. The most encouraging news in the war on breast cancer is that treatment plans are now personalized based on the chance of recurrence. That means that fewer women are being

overtreated, Brannon says. The ultimate goal, of course, is a cure. Komen Knoxville has raised $1.6 million for breast cancer research. Susan G. Komen for the Cureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chief scientific adviser, Eric Winer, M.D., has said that he believes that, in his lifetime, breast

cancer will be treated as a chronic (controllable) disease, like diabetes. Until then, Komen Knoxville will continue to push for better care for Knox and surrounding counties. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve saved lives, brought hope and funded research for cures,â&#x20AC;? says Brannon.

Chase, a rescue thoroughbred from the track, is one of the 10 horses at Mane Support. “Chase is really intuitive,” Kim Henry said.

Mane Support:

Horses healing human hearts By Theresa Edwards Mane Support is a nonprofit counseling and support ministry that reaches out to children, adults and families faced with grief and loss caused by cancer. All activities are conducted on the ground. There is no riding. The program is located in Maryville at 2919 Davis Ford Road, but welcomes Knoxville residents as well. The founder and owner, Kim Henry, graduated from Karns High School and earned her master’s degree at UT. “Mane Support is one of the greatest God-given gifts I could have ever asked for,” said Henry. “We hope to provide a place that is safe where people can share their grief, which is a lifechanging process, not an

event. It’s about incorporating that loss back into life again. “The interaction and relationship people develop with the horses help. Horses have a great intuitiveness, enabling them to reflect back to us some feelings that people keep to themselves,” said Henry. For example, when someone is angry while saying they are not, the horse may be running around. “Horses are honest. They live life in the moment and don’t have an agenda,” she says. “They sense things about people.” Chase works especially well with people who do not have good boundaries, who are quiet, not expressing themselves. “He will get in their space,” Henry said. “For people who have lost their voice

metaphorically with the grief they feel, he’s really good in getting them to say they need help. He’s very intuitive.” The horses also give comfort to people. One person who is now a board member used to come in each week and brush Charlie Brown’s mane and cry. Finally, after about the fourth time, she revealed how she would stand and brush Charlie’s mane because it was the last thing she got to do for her daughter before she passed away, to brush her hair. Charlie is the oldest horse and very arthritic because he was a jumper. It’s very difficult for him to stand still. But he would stand perfectly still for the whole hour and let her brush his mane. “This speaks volumes to me

about what horses sense and what information they can give us,” said Henry. In addition to the use of horses, Mane Support also does creative arts expression, because not everyone grieves or communicates in the same way. “We try to find different means of communication, be it art, discussion, journaling or playing games,” Henry said.

Donna Mara Hardy: Casting for Recovery

By Theresa Edwards Donna Mara Hardy was thrilled when she was chosen to participate in a Casting for Recovery retreat hosted by Petticoat Junction Retreat in Normandy, Tenn. “It’s so beautiful, like a place from out of a book” she said. “I really enjoyed just being with other breast cancer survivors from across the state. We all had a chance to tell our stories and talk about our struggles as well as our joys. It was fun. “I learned a lot about f ly fishing, working with a guide. We even learned how to tie f lies. It was like being a surgeon because it was such technical work. I also learned how to cast. It was a great chance to strengthen the muscles on my right side which were weak from the surgery. So the retreat was great for me both psychologically as well as physically,” Donna said. She has kept in touch with her new friends from the retreat via email. One

group from Nashville calls themselves the “Music City f ly-girls.” Donna keeps busy, although she retired in June from South-Doyle Middle School where she was the assistant principal. “It’s a whole different world,” she said. She volunteers with the Thompson Cancer Survival Center and the American Cancer Society. “South-Doyle was very supportive during my treatment,” she said. “Several of the teachers had T-shirts made, ‘Cherokees are survivors.’ It was a teachable moment for the students who would ask me questions. Some of the students and teachers gave me scarves. One boy gave me about 10 scarves. I probably have a scarf for every outfit.” Women of Wisdom support group has been helpful for issues she faced before, during and after treatments. Her energy levels changed, requiring more rest. She had to be careful of her diet with doctor’s supervision.

Someone at the WOW group gave her Robin Roberts’ book “Eight Rules to Live By.” Rule 7 meant the world to her, “Keep faith, family and friends close to your heart.” “Without my faith, without my family, without my friends, I would not have survived,” Donna said. “Someone was always looking out for me.” Donna has five sisters and three brothers. Her older brother, Audrey Hardy, had his church in Columbus, Ohio, involved. “I got a card in the mail every day,” she said. She has many supportive friends who stayed with her, encouraged her, watched out for her. Another quote from Roberts’ book that impacted her life was “Make your mess your message.” From that, Donna pondered “OK, what am I going to do with all of this?” Donna has shared her testimony to others, giving her message to the world, speaking at her church and other places.

“Cancer is a turning point. I realized it was time for me to do something different,” Donna said. She is now taking seminary classes and plans to go on a mission trip to Jamaica with her church group. “My slogan is: Work to inspire, not to retire,” she said. “You’re always growing, always learning.” For more information about the Casting for Recovery support group, visit www.CastingForRecovery. org.

Day-to-day joy By Cindy Taylor Angie Cook was diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer on Sept. 21, 2010. When she was given the news, her primary concern wasn’t for herself but for her family. With two children, Laura and Daniel, then 8 and 4 respectively, Cook’s first thought was about their care and how hard it would be for her husband, Tommy, if she couldn’t be there for them. “I wasn’t afraid of dying. I am very secure in my faith,” said Cook. “I was scared for my children because they were so young. I knew God would take care of them but that fear was my initial reaction.” Cook has a sister in Australia and her parents were visiting there when she was told about the cancer. For three weeks she had no female in her life that she could confide in while she waited for them to return to the states. “I couldn’t tell them or anyone here because I didn’t want to break the news while they were so far away or have them

hear it from someone else,” said Cook. “I confided in my husband and in Mike (Bundon) because I knew they would keep it private.” When her parents returned to their home in North Carolina, Cook still had to break the news by phone. They immediately came to help during Cook’s surgery. Two years later, Cook is now cancer free and looking to the future. She has worked at Beaver Dam Baptist Church for the past six years as music associate to former choir director Mike Bundon. With Bundon’s retirement in June, Cook has been moved to interim choir director but says that will not lead to a permanent position for her. With a master’s in music and a teaching background, she says her passion is for kids and children’s music. A Halls resident for the past 12 years, and with both children in Halls Elementary, Cook is hoping to achieve a position as a music teacher at the elementary school level.

Taylor Today, Cook is an energetic, thankful and joyful person who is f lourishing physically, emotionally, and in her family and career. She says she never takes the day-to-day things for granted. She cuddles with her children more often, kisses on them and makes sure to tell her husband of 15 years how much she loves

him as often as possible. “God is my solid rock. He has prepared me for this time in my life,” said Cook. “For me, getting up and leading the choir here is a miracle. I sometimes get weepy when we are singing because I realize how much God loves me and that He spared me. I know He still has a job for me to do.”

Helping others heal By Cindy Taylor Judy Gray has now lived five years as a breast cancer survivor. After Judy underwent a mastectomy, Jan Harness, also a breast cancer survivor, gave her a small heart-shaped pillow to place under her arm to help with the pain. This was such a blessing to Judy that she was inspired to find a way to help other women diagnosed with the disease. “The pillow fits underneath my arm and helped me so much by taking the pressure off,” said Gray. “The Lord put it on my heart to provide this blessing to others, but I wasn’t quite sure how to begin.” Gray found out that in her small church, Irwins Chapel UMC, there were at least four other women who had been diagnosed with breast cancer. This is a huge percentage in a church that has an average attendance of 50. She made an announcement one Sunday that she would like to start a pillow ministry, and to her shock 10

wome women men n showed up p for for th the he first meeting. Gray had only bought 1 yard of material thinking that would be all that was needed. It was used very quickly. She then bought 7 yards of material and the group went through that as well. On one of her trips to UT Medical Center for treatment, Gray visited the boutique. Betty Collins, who runs the boutique, asked if the group might consider making the pillows to give to others who had undergone breast surgery. As the ministry continued to grow so did Gray’s cost. She was now buying entire bolts of cloth. “We are just a small church and I wasn’t sure how we were going to support this ministry,” said Gray. “Donations started coming in and we knew God wanted us to do this.” The group has grown in number and today most of the women in the church participate. To date they have made 990 pillows, all of which are given free of charge to anyone who requests them. The women get together and cut, sew and stuff between 50 and 70 pillows each session. They have breakfast

The women of Irwins Chapel UMC gather to make heart pillows to send out to breast cancer survivors around the U.S. Pictured are: (front) Judy Gray, Jan Harness, Sylvia Jardine, Pat Blackburn; (middle row) Veronica Griffey, Jerri Crews, Marty McConnaughey, Sue Shick, Marilyn Winquist, Carol Sharpe; (back) Sue Ross.

In breast cancer detection, the test matters in breast cancer detection by making mammograms more detailed and accurate.

Important facts every woman should know

Catching breast cancer early Studies show that when breast cancer is detected early the chance for successful treatment is nearly 100 percent. Mammograms are a critical component of a successful screening program. In fact, mammograms can identify an abnormal breast mass up to two years before it can be detected by touch. It’s for this reason that the American Cancer Society recommends every woman, every year, starting at the age of 40, get a mammogram.

One in eight American women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. However, early detection coupled with advanced treatment options has cut mortality rates by a third in the U.S. over the past 20 years. Today, a new breakthrough technology is poised to provide a dramatic improvement

Dr. Susan Curry, founder and medical director of the Women’s Center for Radiology in Orlando, says that 3D mammography makes a real difference in the center’s ability to diagnose patients with dense breasts and women with other high-risk factors.

A new imaging technology called 3D mammography or breast tomosynthesis is changing how doctors screen for breast cancer. This sophisticated technology significantly improves breast cancer screening by identifying small cancers that may have been missed by traditional mammography. If cancers are found when they are small, treatment options are generally less traumatic and the chance for a cure is greater. Another benefit of 3D mammography is its ability to reduce stress-inducing call backs. As many as one out of 10 women who have a routine screening mammogram will be asked to come back for additional tests. The majority of these women - up to 80 percent -

will experience what’s called a false-positive which means that an area that looked suspicious on their screening mammogram turned out, upon further testing, to be normal.

3D mammography makes finding breast cancers easier Current mammography relies on a 2D image. However, this technology has its limits because the breast is a 3-dimensional object composed of different structures, such as blood vessels, milk ducts, fat, and ligaments. All of these structures, which are located at different heights within the breast, can overlap and cause confusion when viewed as a 2-dimensional, flat image. This confusion of overlapping tissue is a leading reason why small breast cancers may be missed and normal tissue may appear abnormal, leading to unnecessary call backs. Many doctors have reported that the introduction of Hologic’s Selenia Dimensions tomosynthesis system improves breast cancer detection by overcoming many of the limitations inherent in conventional 2D mammography. Although patients will notice little difference between a 2D and a 3D mammogram, the 3D technology gives doctors a clearer view through the overlapping structures of breast tissue. Reading a breast tomosynthesis exam is like flipping through the pages of a book to view one page at a time instead of seeing the whole breast reduced to a single frame, as is the case with conventional 2D mammography. The ability to look at each layer of breast tissue millimeter by millimeter allows doctors to identify individual structures in the breast free from the confusion of overlying tissue.

The bottom line Women should talk to their physician about the best screening program for them, based on their age, family history and medical profile. Women need to pay attention to any changes, such as unusual lumps, swelling, irritation, dimpling, or pain in the breast or nipple. Finally, women who are 40 and older should be sure to have a mammogram every year. – ARA

Free cancer resource guides help patients navigate cancer journey When Bar Barbara rba b ra a George’s Georg eo ge’ e’s friend and colleague in busii tthe he media busi ness was diagnosed with a recurrence of breast cancer 11 years ago, George volunteered to help her figure out her next steps. But what they did not find surprised them. “We thought, here we are as marketers and we’re having trouble finding needed resources in our community. What difficulties might others also be having?” says George of Kansas City, Mo. “We were looking for resources - like wig shops, local support groups and even local physicians - but finding them was proving to be time-consuming and unsuccessful. It was really frustrating.” The two women started researching local resources for people living with cancer. They felt

strongly that a compreh comprehensive, hens nsiiv ive, ive e, lolocal resource guide filled filled wi with canith can cer information for the newly diagnosed could truly help others on their cancer journey. They collaborated with George’s friend’s doctor at the University of Kansas Cancer Center to make this a reality. In 2001, George created Cancer Matters, a grassroots, communitybased initiative, aimed at tackling this information gap that faced individuals living with cancer and their loved ones. She developed the Cancer Matters Resource Guides, free booklets featuring a comprehensive listing of local cancerrelated businesses and services. Resources include cancer support groups, hospital services, home health and more. They also provide tips for the newly diagnosed and in-

formation on health and wellness. “The beauty of these guides is that they are local, comprehensive and were developed by someone who has walked in your shoes,” says George. “I am hopeful that in the future, we can bring Cancer Matters to all cities across the nation.” These comprehensive resource guides are available in 35 U.S. cities. The guides are updated and distributed annually to local hospitals, physician’s offices, nonprofit organizations and support groups. They are also available online at CancerMatters.com or by calling 913-3857332. Cancer Matters is supported by Lilly Oncology. Lilly Oncology does not control the content of the resource guides or website. – ARA
