Richard Pickens gets a surprise I’ll say this in a soft voice: There isn’t enough happiness in Richard Pickens’ life. The Ol’ Vol has an assortment of problems. Some, estrangement from family, for example, he brought on himself. Some descended on him like a dark cloud.

Elizabeth Eaker preps backstage for her role as Gloria. Eaker took on the role of director as well when Nita Buell Black became too ill to continue.
The Powell Playhouse production of “Everybody Loves Opal” played to sold-out audiences at every performance. Some patrons came to honor playhouse founder Nita Buell Black, who passed away Feb. 27 – opening day. Others who attended didn’t know Black but had heard of the comedy and brilliant acting and were excited to see the play. No one was disappointed.
“We will always miss Nita,” said stage manager Carly Johnson. “But this is not our last performance. The Powell Playhouse will go on in her memory.” The cast and crew dedicated the play to Black. A single white slip-covered chair sat stage left during performances in memory of the one who had touched the lives of so many, including the performers in the last play she cast.

On the nose
Balloon sinuplasty a breath of air for sinus sufferers Nasal steroids. Nasal antihistmaines. Decongestants and antibiotics. If all these things are in your medicine cabinet and you’re still battling recurring sinusitis, Dr. Mark Overholt says you may want to consider balloon sinuplasty. Much like angioplasty opens coronary arteries, balloon sinuplasty utilizes a nonlatex balloon to open the sinuses. First approved by the Food and Drug Administration in 2005, the balloon is delivered via a small catheter up the nasal passageway where it is gently inflated to widen sinuses closed by swelling and inflammation. Once the balloon is deflated and removed, the sinus is clear to drain. “It’s a neat procedure. I was dubious when I first started,” said Overholt, an otolaryngologist with Parkwest Medical Center. “I said I would have to see the data and find out whether this is real or not.” That data, collected via a threeyear randomized, controlled trial sponsored by Entellus Medical, was overwhelmingly convincing. Looking at placebo, traditional endoscopic sinus surgery and balloon sinuplasty at six-month, one-year and three-year intervals, the study concluded that balloon sinuplasty not only works in most cases, but also lessens the risk of recurrence. “The way to look at balloon sinuplasty is that it’s another tool,” said Overholt. “It forces us to look at our sinus patients in a little different manner. There is a patient population that, in the past, may have been under-treated in an attempt to not be overly aggressive.
Mark Overholt, M.D. reports that balloon sinus dilation is an increasingly preferred choice among patients searching for a minimallyinvasive choice with a fast recovery. Now, we have another tool in our toolbox to help treat those people.” Overholt says many are prescribed steroids, antihistamines, decongestants and antibiotics by primary care physicians hesitant to steer patients to a surgical solution. “In many of those cases, I would imagine that the balloon procedures would eliminate their illnesses – put them back in the normal population,” said Overholt. While the success rate of sinuplasty vs. traditional sinus surgery is virtually identical, the sinuplasty patients recover 70 percent faster, require little debridement or removal of cut or damaged tissue (8 percent vs. 74 percent) and
feel better faster (59 percent vs. not subject to recurring infections like you were before because when 38 percent).

Heiskell woman breathes easy after balloon sinuplasty Just a breath of air and fewer headaches. That’s all Mae Jacks wanted. But when the Heiskell grandmother broke her nose in a fall last September, she had no idea that the injury would lead to a chain of events that would not only give her back the ability to breathe freely, but also eliminate her migraines, stop her snoring, and return the sense of smell and taste she thought was gone for good. “I wasn’t looking for a miracle, but it looks like I got one,” said Jacks less than a month after Dr. Mark Overholt performed a septoplasty and balloon sinuplasty under general anesthesia at Parkwest Medical Center. It took about a half hour for Overholt to perform the operation in which he not only straightened Jacks’ deviated septum, but also used a catheter to deploy a nonlatex balloon into her sinus passage to open up her nasal airway. Her breathing improved almost immediately. And within a week of the surgery, Jacks said, her long-forgotten sense of smell returned. “I knew this had to be sinus-related because I used to have a great sense of smell,” she said. “But it had gotten to where I couldn’t smell at all. Now I look forward
Mae Jacks describes balloon sinuplasty as “a miracle.” An unexpected side effect of the surgery for Jacks is that her sense of smell returned. to things like when someone says, ‘Let’s have a big dinner.’ Before, I would go, ‘Yeah, yeah’ because I liked to cook. But now, my joy is back because I can smell the food again. I teased Dr. Overholt that now I have to watch what and how much I eat now because everything tastes so good!” Of course, the restored sense of smell also means that she can again detect those less-than-
pleasant odors her husband brings into the house from his workshop. “If I’m in the living room and he comes in through the garage, he can’t even get into the house before I’ll be telling him, ‘You smell like gasoline!’ ” Jacks laughed. “He’s fascinated that I can smell things again. He got away with it for years.” While the restored sense of taste and smell were unexpected gifts, Jacks is elated that she can now breathe easily and has not had a migraine headache since the surgery. She had battled the headaches for years, but they had become worse over the last five. The headaches, usually centered on the right side of her head and accompanied by nausea, were so bad that she would retreat to bed. “I would just ice it, just freeze it,” she said. “It was the only way I could fall asleep. My husband would ask, ‘Is there anything I can do for you?’ And I would say, ‘No, it’s just got to run its course.’ And I probably took too many antibiotics because of it and that’s not good for you either.” In fact, Jacks says the yearslong search for an answer to her recurring sinus infections and headaches was an exasperating journey filled with decongestants, antihistamines, phenegren and over-the-
counter migraine medicine. Most often she found herself in an allergist’s office. “I took allergy shots for many years, and they would give me medicine for my sinuses and stuff. They would try to change my medicine, and a couple of times they would do a CT scan,” she said. “But they always said, ‘Your sinuses look fine.’ Of course, they were not fine.” She even quit wearing her CPAP machine because she felt that it was contributing to her sinus infections. Of course, now that she’s had the surgery, she feels she no longer needs it, particularly since her snoring is gone. Ironically, it took a fall and a broken nose for her to find relief. Overholt says it will take about six weeks for Jacks to fully recover from her surgery because the septoplasty requires follow-up office visits to keep the nasal passages clear of scabbing. Had she only required balloon sinuplasty, Jacks’ recovery would only have been about two days. Regardless, she’s happy with the outcome. “I got a lot more out of this procedure than I ever thought possible,” she says with a laugh. “I thought I was going to have to endure these headaches the rest of my life.”
tomically inaccessible. “If you have chronic sinus infection up here, dilating this area doesn’t do anything for that … that requires a traditional operation to clean out the little honeycombed air cells in the ethmoid cavity that lead to recurring or chronic infection in people.” Polyps, Overholt said, actually form because of recurring infections which inflame the sinuses and cause swelling. “We used to think that was probably allergydriven but most people who have polyps just have a very hyperactive immune system,” he said. “They have an inability to regulate inflammation in the sinus cavity. As a result, as their immune system runs amok trying to fight off invaders, it creates super swelling in the sinus tissue and these little sac-like clusters of swelling that we call polyps, and those polyps end up being physical obstructions of the sinus cavity. They will hold infectious material back in the sinus cavity and prevent you from clearing. And balloon sinuplasty simply doesn’t get rid of the polyps.”
Sinusitis symptoms Sinusitis – also known as rhinosinusitis – is an inflammation of the tissue lining of the sinuses that afflicts millions of people each year.
Common symptoms ■ Facial congestion/fullness ■ Nasal obstruction/blockage ■ Nasal discharge ■ Fever ■ Headaches ■ Fatigue ■ Dental pain ■ Bad breath Normally, sinuses are filled with air, but when sinuses become blocked and filled with fluid, pathogens (bacteria, viruses and fungi) can grow and cause an infection. Structural issues such as narrowed drainage anatomy are often associated with sinusitis.
Affected sinuses There are four types of sinuses – maxillary (behind the cheek bones), ethmoid (between the eyes), frontal (in the forehead) and sphenoid (behind the eyes). All of these sinuses can be affected by sinusitis. The majority of cases involve the maxillary and ethmoid sinuses. Source: EntellusMedical.com

He suggested that instead of fines, the school system arrange field trips to the site to show students proper ways to manage stormwater so that “something good and positive could come out of this.” On Friday, Brent John-
son, the city’s engineering planning chief, chastised McMillan for not reporting the potential violations sooner. “Based on your email, it appeared that you knew about this condition for at least a month before contacting us,” he wrote. “If you would have contacted us then, we could have begun the process of correcting this issue much earlier.” Johnson also said Knox County is not required to get city permits for construction projects.

government Catching up with Chris Woodhull Former City Council member Chris Woodhull has moved to the Chattanooga area, where he lives in Lookout Mountain, Ga., although he maintains his domicile here in Knoxville.
Victor Ashe
Over coffee recently, Woodhull, 54, told this writer that he continues to host “Improvisations” on Friday nights for WUOT; he started doing it before he left council in December 2011. “I grew up with jazz,” he says. He comes to Knoxville weekly to tape the show on the UT campus. He also does consulting work with Richmont Graduate University, which has sites in both Atlanta and Chattanooga. He is the director of Build Me a World, which can be found at www.buildmeaworld.com and is in a partnership with Fancy Rhino productions. He’s glad he served on City Council as an at-large member for eight years but calls his performance “underwhelming.” “I could have been better prepared for the life of a politician. Meetings often seemed artificial.” He described colleagues Mark Brown and Bob Becker as “good friends.” He said he would not have run for a third term even if the City Charter had permitted it, but after eight years on council he thinks the mayor should be allowed to seek a third term because it is difficult to accomplish much in only eight years. Woodhull said he was “glad to have been the deciding vote in choosing Knoxville’s first AfricanAmerican mayor (Daniel Brown).” The other four were Marilyn Roddy, Daniel Brown, Becker and Joe Bailey. Each was the deciding vote on a 5-4 vote on a
nine-member council. ■ The “Ed and Bob Show,” which used to be on WNOX, may appear on Knox County Commission starting Sept. 1 if Bob Thomas and Ed Brantley are elected to the commission’s two at-large seats. Brantley is opposed by Michelle Carringer, and Thomas is unopposed. Brantley says he and Thomas did not always agree on the “Ed and Bob Show.” Thomas is seen as a person (one of several) who may run for county mayor in 2018 when Tim Burchett’s second and final term ends. ■ The contest between Ed Shouse and Craig Leuthold for the GOP nomination for county trustee will be hard fought. It revives memories of Black Wednesday, when County Commission disgraced itself with backroom deals naming each other and family members to various county positions. Leuthold named his father, Frank, to his own seat. He also voted to install Fred Sisk as county trustee. Sisk then turned around a few weeks later and increased Leuthold’s salary by 44 percent (according to NS editor Jack McElroy’s column), making it an expensive thank-you for county taxpayers. ■ Events in Ukraine change daily, and the ultimate outcome is uncertain. Having lived in Poland from 2004 to 2009, I had a front-row seat observing how Ukraine freed itself from the former Soviet Union and moved haltingly toward democracy and economic vitality. The Putin-inspired occupation of Crimea is another major setback to Ukraine. Poland, rightfully, remains deeply concerned about developments there and wonders how steadfast the United States will be over the long term in restoring Ukraine’s territorial integrity.

Barnes Barbershop is Duncan family tradition By Sara Barrett When Rep. John J. Duncan Jr. stepped off a plane in Knoxville from Washington, D.C., he went straight to Barnes Barbershop in East Knoxville for important business. His grandson, Zane Jr., was getting his first haircut. “You can solve the problems of this country better here than in Congress,” said Duncan of the barbershop on Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue. He took off his suit jacket before settling down in the barber chair with Zane Jr. on his lap. “The tradition of Barnes Barbershop has been go-
ing on for a long time in our family,” said Duncan. A young Jimmy Duncan was taken there by his dad, the late John Duncan Sr., in the late 1940s for his first haircut. He became a regular and took his son Zane there for his first trim. Barnes opened in the 1920s and is still operated by the same family. Barber Debbie Barnes kept the shop’s basket of lollipops handy as she snipped the split ends from Zane Jr.’s mane. The haircut lasted about seven minutes and his mom, Hallie, saved some locks in an envelope as a souvenir.

Will money buy love? Fourth District incumbent Lynne Fugate is one of schools superintendent James McIntyre’s strongest allies. She is in her second year as school board chair and is seeking to be elected to a second term.
Betty Bean Fugate is sitting pretty, money-wise, reporting a balance-on-hand of nearly $18,000 at the end of the last reporting period, on Jan. 31. Her list of financial supporters is long and impressive, studded with the names of some of Knoxville’s most powerful citizens. She raised much of her war chest at a January fundraiser at the home of Ann Haslam Bailey, including a $1,000 contribution from James Haslam II, also a strong McIntyre supporter. This is not a staggering
sum by national standards but is enormous compared with opponents Sally Absher and Jeffrey Scott Clark, who were exempt from filing detailed financial disclosures because they received and spent less than $1,000. Fugate is local market executive for SmartBank and served as executive director of Nine Counties, One Vision, a regional planning initiative launched in January 2000. Her two sons attended West High School, and she has served as president of the West High School Foundation. When teachers showed up to air their complaints about McIntyre’s methods at the January County Commission meeting, clad in red for solidarity, Fugate chose a seat between McIntyre and his chief of staff, Russ Oaks. She did not wear red. Clark is a first-time candidate and a political unknown – at least to this reporter. He has not returned phone calls, and there is
little information to be gleaned about him online. His wife is his campaign treasurer and several people who signed his qualifying petition share his last name. Absher was an early member of the Tea Party but says she is no longer involved with that group. She was elected to the Republican State Executive Committee in 2010 and is not seeking re-election. She is critical of Common Core State Standards and says she would not have voted to extend McIntyre’s contract. She has a degree in geology and is a technical writer. Her husband, Steve, teaches chemistry at Halls High School, and she has been a regular at school board meetings in recent months, wearing red and sitting with the teachers, many of whom strongly support her candidacy. Her Facebook campaign page describes her as “… an issues-oriented individual

Jake Mabe
estate guy Scott Smith, was to deny the appeal for the marina. It failed 3-5. Up jumped lawyer John King, representing Huber. “The motion has failed. In order for the appellant to be successful, you must produce five positive votes.” Deputy Law Director Daniel Sanders agreed. Kevin Murphy moved to overrule MPC and kill the marina. His motion passed, 5-3. (Murphy, Carson Dailey, Bill Sewell,
Frank Rimshaw and chair John Schoonmaker voted yes. Smith, Markus Chady and Cynthia Stancil voted no. Cindy Buttry, who had missed the January meeting, recused herself.) Murphy wanted to amend the 20 conditions MPC had attached to the apartments’ approval but said he couldn’t do it on the spot. He moved to overturn MPC’s use on review. This motion failed 3-5, which meant MPC’s approval of the apartments was upheld. It seems a “no” vote actually meant “yes,” even if most people in the room expected further debate.

King remained composed, even when audience members started shouting at him. A majority of BZA commissioners set out to reject John Huber’s development; instead, it was affirmed. (Huber said later he’s likely to appeal to Chancery Court to reinstate the marina, but it’s full speed ahead on the apartments.) Fatigue had to factor in the confusion, as did the “no means yes” quirks in the motion. Oh, by the way. BZA commissioners don’t get paid.

Tradin’ Claude’s remarkable life
Lynnhurst-Resthaven Cemetery was established in 1922, but Col. Claude S. Reeder (left) became president in 1929 and expanded it.
HISTORY AND MYSTERIES | Dr. Jim Tumblin He earned a law degree, played a large role in building the framework for the Tennessee Valley Fair, might have helped found the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and became a local household name selling cars, once taking a cow as partial payment for a Studebaker. Meet Claude S. Reeder, who was born on July 14, 1886, in Knoxville, the son of Columbus Alexander and Adelia Hodges Reeder. Columbus Reeder was a prominent Knox County farmer and held several political offices in the county, including sheriff from 1876 to ’80. Claude graduated from old Girls High School, the predecessor of Knoxville High School, and enrolled at UT, where he played halfback on the football team and also lettered in basketball and track. He received his bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering in 1908 and promptly enrolled in the College of Law. Although he never practiced, he felt the knowledge enhanced his skills in business. On June 10, 1909, Claude married Ella McKee Durham (1886-1982). They had four children: Claude S. Jr., John Alexander, Richard Durham and Betty McKee (Houston). Col. Reeder first worked as a clerk in the Knox County Tax Assessor’s office but
later resigned to found the Cherokee Motor Co., the local seller of Studebakers. He earned his nickname “Tradin’ Claude” when he advertised, “We trade for anything but a rattlesnake.” His photograph with the cow taken as partial payment made the local papers and was picked up by the national NEA news service. A promoter of the Appalachian Exposition in 1910 – the forerunner of the Tennessee Valley Agricultural and Industrial Fair – Reeder remained interested in the fair throughout his life. There were many good years and some very lean ones, but eventually that fair became the “father” of the Tennessee Valley Fair. An apocryphal story, to which many lend credence, credits Reeder for influencing Gov. Austin Peay to take an interest in efforts to establish the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. As the two sat on the porch of Reeder’s summer home in Kinzel Springs, Claude said, “Governor, these mountains would make the finest scenic park in the world. Why don’t you ask the legislature to acquire the land?” Coincidence or not, in 1925 the legislature enacted the Little River Lumber Co. Purchase Act, one of the first moves toward establishing the park.
Late in life, Reeder calculated that he had served on 47 corporate boards over the years including: chair of Reeder Chevrolet Co.; chair of Cherokee Oil Co., which he founded in 1928; director of White Star Bus Lines; chair of several Seven-Up bottling companies (Washington, D.C., Rochester, N.Y., Richmond, Va., and Winston-Salem, Asheville and Charlotte, N.C.); president of Morris Plan Bank; president of the East Tennessee Fair Association; and president of LynnhurstResthaven Cemetery Co. Lynnhurst Cemetery had been established in 1922, when its first president, James Lyle Humphrey (1870-1925), bought the initial acreage west of First Creek near Greenway. Soon, the property north of Adair Drive was purchased from the Sanders estate, heirs to a portion of the original Adair land grant. Later, with Claude Reeder as president, the corporation bought the old mill property near the cemetery entrance from O.W. Sweat. Reeder presided over the corporation from 1929 until 1938, when he was succeeded by W.B. Hatcher. Reeder also owned Park Amusement Company, which operated rides and concessions at Chilhowee Park. His real-estate holdings included several U.S.

Post Office buildings, which he leased to the government. In addition, he served in many civic and fraternal organizations: the Knoxville Kiwanis Club, Elks Lodge (life member), the Masons (32nd Degree), Kerbela Temple, Chamber of Commerce (director), the Wonderland Park Club and Cherokee Country Club. He and Ella were also active at Church Street Methodist Church. He loved the outdoors and particularly enjoyed hunting and fishing with his friend W.R. Kennerly. They often went to South Dakota for pheasant and to Canada for moose and deer hunting and muskellunge fishing. In addition to the summer home in Kinzel Springs, where the community considered him the honorary mayor, the Reeders later enjoyed a winter home in Fort Myers, Fla. When Norris Dam was built and the lake impounded,
Reeder built a lodge on the lakeshore, where his personal friend, Army Gen. Mark Clark, was a guest. But, most of all, he enjoyed his old family home place, 316 W. Hill Ave., currently the site of the City County Building. The picture window in his den overlooked the Tennessee River (Fort Loudoun Lake). A mounted buffalo head hung over the great stone fireplace, while other trophies of pheasant, elk, Rocky Mountain sheep and game fish were hung around the room. Col. Reeder suffered a fatal heart attack while attending a reception in honor of Sen. Herbert S. “Hub” Walters in Morristown on Oct. 17, 1964. Knoxville Mayor John Duncan had asked him to read a procla-
mation and present the keys to the city of Knoxville to Walters. After services at Mann’s Mortuary, he was interred in the Reeder Mausoleum in Lynnhurst Cemetery. He was survived by his wife, Ella Durham Reeder; a daughter Betty (Jack) Houston; two sons, Claude Jr. and Richard D.; four sisters, Wanda C. (Roy) Roth, Fay T. (James) Dempster, Mary J. (Roscoe) Word and Elma P. (Howard E.) McClellan; brothers Columbus A. “Lum” Reeder and Ross Reeder; 10 grandchildren; and five great-grandchildren.

Pickens is a Vol for life I’ll say this in a soft voice: There isn’t enough happiness in Richard Pickens’ life. The Ol’ Vol has an assortment of problems. Some, estrangement from family, for example, he brought on himself. Some descended on him like a dark cloud. Since retiring as a railroad executive, he’s been in the fourth quarter for what seems like a long time. It could be he is in overtime. He has supposedly been diagnosed with “amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and secondary frontal temporal dementia with pseudobulbar palsy.” Since my medical expertise is in bruises and abrasions, this is out of my pay grade. Some old teammates are convinced the affliction goes back to too many hits with the helmet, too many concussions treated with smelling salts. Pickens was a Tennessee fullback in 1966-68, part battering ram, part bowling ball, leading rusher in the Southeastern Conference as
Marvin West
a senior, 736 tough yards, then the most by a Vol since Hank Lauricella in 1951. Going back to Young High School, Pick was never a tiptoe runner. He was nimble and quick but did not rely on fancy moves. He butted people who got in his way, broke many tackles and probably created some running lanes with intimidation. Pickens still “plays” football with his wonderful collection of friends who (occasionally) stop by his home at Clarity Pointe in Farragut. Sometimes they just talk about big plays, magic moments, precious memories that need to be refreshed. Sometimes they watch old games on Vol Network DVDs. Sometimes they and Richard
go places, to lunch or to see things, and talk some more, going and coming. Mike Miller, Mike Marchant, Larry Brown, Randy Webb, Van Fillingim, Sam Venable and Bobby Waggoner have been part of this support system. Dick Williams, Charlie Rosenfelder and Dewey Warren are in the informal group. There may be a dozen others. Jim McDonald, a teammate at Young High and UT, is a mainstay. He manages Pickens’ pensions and financial matters. McDonald and Pickens go back to the beginning. Their competition to see which was best probably made both better. That their relationship has lasted so long provides a peek into something called “Vol for Life.” That smart term was created as a recruiting tool to help convince prep prospects that Tennessee players are all in this together, once a Vol always a Vol, forever and ever, amen.
Pictured with Richard Pickens (seated) at last week’s event are: Mike Miller, Jim Smelcher, Jim McDonald, Dewey Warren, Dick Williams and Jimmy Weatherford. Photo by Sara Barrett Several fans embrace the idea. Alas, their lasting commitments sometimes fluctuate, depending on Saturday scores. With former players, it tends to be real. Ol’ Vols hang in there. There is a genuine bond. Former tackle Jerry Holloway has a mailing list of hundreds who share the ups and downs, fishing tales, obituaries, anniversaries, accomplishments by children and grandchildren, news of knee replacements, and other hard-earned aches and pains.
They remain bound together by fellowship, loyalty and the color orange. Pickens was the focal point of such love last week. Distinguished artist Alexander Dumas initiated it. As the story goes, Pickens commissioned a painting 15 or 20 years ago of a favorite play. When he came to claim the finished product, it wouldn’t fit inside his Volkswagen. “Later” was somehow forgotten and Dumas filed his handiwork in a stack of other treasures. He found it
in time for the current art exhibition at Clarity Pointe. Of course it was a delightful surprise for Pickens. Ol’ Vols and several others shared in the celebration. A fun time was had by all. Blessings on the good man Dumas, an unexpected ray of sunshine in Richard Pickens’ life. Full disclosure: Alexander Dumas once gave me a print of his very best snow leopard. I thought it was Smithsonian quality. Marvin West invites reader reaction. His address is westwest6@netzero.com.

‘Sew’much love
Graduation
By Cindy Taylor A capable wife who can find? She is far more precious than jewels. Strength and dignity are her clothing … Her children rise up and call her happy; her husband too, and he praises her… Many women have done excellently, but you surpass them all. Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. Give her a share in the fruit of her hands, and let her works praise her in the city gates. (Proverbs 31, selected verses)
The women’s ministry at Wallace Memorial Baptist Church holds a quarterly sewing event to support local, regional and world missions. The group “Fabric Quarters” has sewn clothes for an orphanage in Haiti, cut patterns for shoes through the organization Sole Hope, and made items for Angelic Ministries. Members also stuff stockings with goodies at Christmas for local centers such as Western Heights Baptist Center. Their most recent get-together was to create items to benefit single moms. “We know that single moms are a large and growing population, and they are in need of so much support,” said volunteer Heather Testerman. “The bags are just a small gift of love for these moms.” The group sewed small bags and purses and stuffed them with pampering items donated by the women at Wallace. “Our mission is to pray continually, serve, connect and grow with those in our community and around the world,” said Testerman. Volunteers included Katrina Reiling, Jordan and Stacey Evans and Bethany Summers.

When giving hurts By Wendy Smith Bob Lupton was enjoying his first Christmas as a resident of inner-city Atlanta when he witnessed something that changed his entire ministry. When members of a suburban church brought Christmas presents to a poor, urban family, the kids were ecstatic, the mom was embarrassed, and the dad vanished out the back door. The charitable gift exposed the dad’s inability to provide, and it was more than his fatherly pride could handle, he said. Lupton, the author of “Toxic Charity,” shared insight he’s gained from over 40 years of ministering to the poor at Cedar Springs Presbyterian Church’s 2014 Global Mission Conference. After that Christmas, Lupton examined the ministry’s other charity programs and noticed a pattern. If someone received something once, they were appreciative. If they received it twice, there was some anticipation. When they received it a third time, it created expectation, and after the fourth time, it created entitlement. If someone received something five times, the result was pure dependence. That, he says, is toxic charity.

From then on, he adopted the position that charity is helpful only in a crisis situation. After the crisis has passed, it’s time to rebuild. “Development is the right response to chronic poverty issues,” he said. Defining “crisis” is tricky. Hunger, he said, is not a crisis. “In 42 years of living in the city, I’ve never seen a starving person. I’ve seen food insecurity, but not starvation.” Lupton’s response to the chronic needs of his neighbors was to build healthy relationships, something that
isn’t accomplished through one-way giving. He began to see both the needs and the resources in his neighborhood, and utilize the resources. Nobody is so poor they don’t have something to contribute, he said. Even the homebound elderly can serve as the neighborhood watch. His golden rule is “Never do for others when they have the capacity to do for themselves.” The ministry’s programs evolved into neighbor-run organizations that meet needs and empower. A free clothing closet became a business when customers were required to purchase items. The new business provides employment, and customers feel appreciated rather than demeaned. A food pantry became a food co-op when neighbors pooled resources to have more purchasing power at a local food bank. The arrangement led to a weekly potluck lunch where neighbors show off their cooking skills. Christmas has changed, too. Generous church members still purchase items, but the unwrapped gifts are placed in a store where parents can shop for their children at reduced prices. “What kids need more than toys is effective par-
ents,” Lupton said. He shared the story of his neighbor, Virgil, who complained about the vans full of church people that flood into the neighborhood each summer to do service projects. He wouldn’t go so far as to say they weren’t needed, but he suggested that service projects should be community-initiated and community-led. He also thought suburbanites could learn a thing or two from those in the inner city. Lupton shared Virgil’s words: “They have no idea how God is working in our neighborhood. They have no idea what it’s like to live by faith.”

I have always taken a dim view of people who use euphemisms for death: passing away, gone to glory, gone to his reward, etc. I was of the opinion that it was an attempt to avoid the truth, which is bluntly and unavoidably, “She died.” I thought people should just say so. When the phone call came, at an hour on a Saturday morning when no one makes a phone call for a friendly chat, I knew what it was. I was already up and getting dressed to go see my mother in the nursing home. We had known for several days that the end of her journey was near. The last time I had seen her, just days before, I knew that it was a matter of weeks, possibly days. I answered the phone and the gentle voice on the other end of the line said, “Lynn, your mother passed this morning.” There it was, the euphemism. She “passed.” No, I thought, sadly. She died. I called my daughters, both of whom had made travel plans to get here in time. Jordan was on the road already, and Eden had plane tickets for later in the week. In the next few hours, there was much to be done: people to notify, arrangements to set in motion, decisions to make. It wasn’t until we were on the road that it hit me. She passed. How apt for someone who had been a teacher! It is true: she passed. She has graduated into heaven. Do not misunderstand me: I still believe that we are saved by grace and no one of us can earn our way into heaven. But maybe, just maybe, God grades on the curve. As I write this, we are in that short and, at the same time, interminable

limbo between a death and a burial. Nothing else can go forward, no plans can be made, no other work is so important as mourning the loss of my mother and my children’s grandmother. Mother was known for her love of red. She wore red well and often, and after she entered the nursing home, exclusively! It was Eden who, about an hour after I notified her of Mother’s death, called me back and said, “I have an idea. I think we should all wear red at the service.” I laughed out loud, in spite of my grief, and said, “What a great idea! Mother would love it!” And so, spurning any sign of mourning – no black allowed – we will send her to eternity, all of us dressed in red. For the past 40 years, a framed motto hung in Mother’s house. It sums up her approach to life perfectly. I have to live with myself, and so I want to be fit for myself to know. I want to be able, as days go by, Always to look myself in the eye. I don’t want to stand in the setting sun And hate myself for things I’ve done. I want to go out with my head erect; I want to deserve my own respect. I feel sure the Lord has already told her, “Well done, thou good and faithful servant. And, by the way, love the red!”

NEWS FROM POWELL CHIROPRACTIC
Rule #2: You are how you eat By Dr. Donald G. Wegener Each one of us is individual, inside and outside. This is why some diets work for some people while others succeed with a totally different type of diet. There are literally hundreds of different diets books available today, each claiming Dr. Wegener to be the perfect diet for you, and each one promises to give you increased energy, vitality and weight loss. Figuring out what foods do best for your individual physiology is called metabolic typing. There are three basic metabolic types: slow oxidizers, fast oxidizers and mixed oxidizers. Slow oxidizers are people who tend to quickly burn up fat and therefore do better on a high carbohydrate diet. A higher carbohydrate intake spares fat to help balance out how quickly food is used for energy in a slow oxidizer. These people usually do best on a ration of 60 percent carbohydrates, 25 percent proteins and 16 percent fat. These are the type of people who feel better when they consume carbohydrates, but they have to be careful not to get addicted to them because too many carbohydrates will make anyone fatter. Fast oxidizers are people who tend to burn carbohydrates quickly and therefore require a relatively large amount of fats and proteins in their diet to balance out their metabolism. If you are a fast oxidizer you will want to experiment with a diet that has roughly 30 percent carbohydrates, 40 percent proteins and 30 percent fats. It is important
Space donated by: y:
for these types of people to eat frequently and have protein at every meal. This type of person will want to avoid high glycemic foods that limit their carbohydrates, and stick mainly to low glycemic fruits and vegetables and small amounts of grain. Mixed oxidizers are people who are actually a combination of both types and can sometimes fluctuate between one type or the other depending on stress and other external environmental factors. Mixed types obviously have the most freedom with the way they eat but must be in tune with their bodies to know if they are leaning one way or the other from day to day. A mixed oxidizer will generally do better to eat a diet containing approximately 50 percent carbohydrates, 30 percent proteins and 20 percent fats, however this could vary from day to day depending on their stressors. Losing weight is not as easy as choosing the latest fad diet. It is a process of figuring out the type of diet you were born to eat and make sure you stay within those parameters during each meal. To get the weight loss you want you need to eat like your body wants to eat, not like the latest fad diet or the way your favorite fitness model eats. Next week: You are when you eat

News From Knoxville’s Community Development Corporation
Bridging the digital divide in Lonsdale By Alvin Nance Phyllis Patrick, head of the Lonsdale Homes Resident Association and a resident member of the KCDC Board of Commissioners, has a vision for her commuAlvin Nance nity. Her vision is a Lonsdale Community Technology Center. More than 200 schoolaged children live in the Lonsdale community. Only 18 percent of them have home access to the Internet. Studies consistently show a connection between poverty and lack of access to the Internet, a true digital divide across income lines. This gap affects school test scores. Lonsdale children perform below the state average. Some of this can be attributed to lack of access to technology in their homes. Commissioner Patrick believes we can bridge the digital divide in Lonsdale by placing a technology cen-
ter in the Lonsdale Homes community, and her vision is taking shape. Plans call for locating the center in the on-site resident association office. In addition, neighboring steel recycler Gerdau has pledged financial support toward outfitting the center with computers. A team from the current Leadership Knoxville class has adopted the project also. We have consulted with Amy Brace, principal at Lonsdale Elementary, on student needs. We plan to start with students in the younger grades. When kids are not at the technology center, the neighborhood’s senior residents can also increase their computer skills. We hope to have a grand opening in June to bring Commissioner Patrick’s vision to fruition. As she told her fellow commissioners last month: “I am glad to be a part of this. This is my neighborhood, and I want it to succeed.” Thanks to the help of all our partners, her vision will succeed.

When most people think theater masks, the ancient Greek masks of comedy and tragedy come to mind. Alexia Murriel, a student at Pellissippi State Community College’s Magnolia Avenue Campus, recently put her own slant on a final project in a theater class by creating African-inspired religious masks. A Fulton High School graduate, Murriel is in her fourth semester at Pellissippi State, pursuing a general associate of arts degree. Once finished, she plans to attend a four-year university and earn a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering. “Rituals were one of the early forms of theater,” Murriel said. The masks were modeled after those used in Nigeria and Zimbabwe. For Murriel, her love of art and her career pursuits are drawn from the same well of interest. “I’m very much a handson and experimental person,” she said. “Anything I can make with my hands that’s my own idea is what interests me. “Art was something that found me in elementaryschool art class – I found that I was pretty good at drawing. At first it was just pencil and paper, but now I use mostly acrylic paint on canvas boards. Then, in high school, I found I was
Alexia Murriel really good at math, so I became interested in mechanical engineering.” Murriel is inspired by nature, but also by graffiti, three-dimensional chalk drawings and aerosol art on canvas. “I draw or paint just about anything that’s appealing to the eye.” In addition to attending college, Murriel also has considered joining the U.S. Air Force or Air Force Reserve as well. “I’m still exploring my options. I came to Pellissippi before going to a university to just get a feel for the college life.” The Magnolia Avenue Campus is at 1610 E. Magnolia Ave. Info: www.pstcc.edu/ magnolia or 865-329-3100.

If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? That I would talk less and listen more. I’m getting better as I get older, so I figure if I live to about 110, I may be balanced.
What is your passion? Helping people – making a difference in their lives. That’s why I do what I do. I love to be a resource for folks.
With whom, living or dead, would you most like to have a long lunch? J.R.R. Tolkien – the creativity in his writings fascinates me. I’d love to meet the mind behind his books.
Sage Kohler
Sage Kohler went to the “other UT,� but she found a home in East Tennessee. In 2010, she had been with State Farm as an agent and in various executive positions for 28 years when the company asked her to take over the agency in Powell after the unexpected death of agent Andy Anderson. “We had never set foot in Tennessee,� she says. “I said, ‘I don’t know. I have to check it out.’ “We came down, and I fell in love. Absolutely fell in love. And six weeks later we were living here. It’s our favorite place we’ve ever lived. I can’t imagine leaving here.� Kohler was an Army brat, born in Fort Sill, Okla., who lived in 13 places before age 10, when her parents divorced. She moved with her mother and two younger sisters to Fort Lauderdale, where she says their life was nothing like the spring break good-times fantasy. After high school, Kohler spent two years at Auburn University before transferring to the University of Texas at Austin. She landed a job before she even graduated, doing sales for a radio station purchased in Austin by Clear Channel Communications. “I interviewed with Red McCombs and Lowry Mays,� she says, dropping some iconic names in radio history. “I was their top salesperson for two years, but back in the early ’80s I was female, young and not married, and when the sales manager job came open, even though I was their lead salesperson, they wouldn’t even let me interview. “I was like, done. I want to do something where I’m judged on what I do and not who I am or what sex I am. So I became a State Farm agent in 1984 at 24 years old. “The first policies I wrote were on myself. I was my best client for at least a month.� Kohler was an agent for 13 years, but she went into management in 1997 when State Farm asked her to become the director of recruiting for Texas. “As a State Farm agent, I have a few thousand households that I represent, but as the director of recruiting I was going to hire people that each and every one of them had a few thousand people they could help.� Helping people is Kohler’s goal in life. Although she went on to work in more management positions in Huntsville, Ala., Philadelphia and Louisville, Ky., she wanted to go back to being an agent, so the Knox County opening came at the perfect time. While she has moved her office from Powell to Hardin
Other than your parents, who has had the biggest influence on your life and why?
Valley, where she lives with husband Louis, she remains involved in the Powell community – she’s president of the Powell Business and Professional Association – and says it’s an easy commute. Now, she’s close enough to her office to go home for lunch. And she’s right where she needs to be when – reluctantly – she takes time off. “We’re big lake people,� she says. “In the summertime we’re on the lake every weekend.� Sit back and have a Coffee Break as you get to know Sage Kohler.
What is your favorite quote from TV or a movie? “I’ll have what she’s having� from “When Harry Met Sally.� The whole scene is hilarious!
What are you guilty of? Overworking. My family is always telling me to “have fun,� and my response is “when the work is done.� It just never seems to get finished.
What is your favorite material possession? My home – it’s my refuge. Its dÊcor is eclectic – whatever I like, and I’m pretty eclectic.
What are you reading currently?
My husband, Louis (March 10, 2014, is our 30th wedding anniversary). He loves me because of me and in spite of me. I have never doubted his love, and knowing that has helped me face tough days/times.
I still can’t quite get the hang of ‌ Our Mac Apple computer at home. I work in a Windows environment all day, and when I try to do things on the Apple – it is NOT intuitive!
What is the best present you ever received in a box? Back in 1989, we really needed a car, and for Christmas my husband, who was selling Mazdas for a living, gave me a small box – better than jewelry ‌ It was the key to a new model of Mazda – a red Miata convertible.
What is the best advice your mother ever gave you? This is tough – she gave me so much. Things like, “Don’t lay out in the sun or you’ll turn into an old brown leather purse,� but the best was probably, “Do what you know, not what you feel.�
What is your social media of choice? I’m terrible at all of it – not that I can’t or don’t enjoy it. I can just never find the time. If I had to pick, I’d say Facebook because I do love to catch up with old friends. It helped tremendously when I organized my 25th high school reunion.
I’m always reading several things at once. Currently, I’m re-reading Stephen Covey’s “First Things First,� John Piper’s “A Godward Life� and Veronica Roth’s “Allegiant� (last book in the “Divergent� series – requested by my 19-year-old daughter).
What is the worst job you have ever had?
What was your most embarrassing moment?Â
What was your favorite Saturday morning cartoon and why?
I was at a church worship weekend, and I went to a different set of bathrooms than I normally do, and yes – you guessed it – I went in the men’s. BUT (it gets worse) I didn’t realize till I was sitting and heard two men walk in, talking.
What are the top three things on your bucket list? Go to Australia. Become a grandma. Live on the lake.
Maid at my stepdad’s hotel. Not because I don’t like cleaning, because I do. But my supervisor, “Frenchie,� was OCD, and after you cleaned, she truly gave it “the white-glove test.�
“Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!� – I think because they were such a diverse group of friends that had a goal and seemed to have the smarts to reach that goal – every week!
What irritates you? People who litter. Tennessee is so beautiful – I just don’t understand why some folks don’t get it.
What is one word others often use to describe you and why? Intense. I’m pretty passionate about anything I believe in or do ‌ it’s never less than 110 percent, and I think that often exhausts the people around me.

Urban forest, Eastside greenway take shape By Betty Bean Good news for the environment, nature lovers and neighborhood children; bad news for privet, honeysuckle, kudzu and litterbugs. The Tennessee Clean Water Network has acquired five more acres for the Williams Creek Urban Forest project – doubling its acreage – and is preparing to tote the goats back to East Knoxville in June for the second chapter of a threeyear land-clearing project. The goats not only made a big dent in clearing the area of invasive undergrowth last summer but also drew crowds of visitors who came to watch them munch weeds. “The goats were very popular,� said TCWN Executive Director Renee Hoyos. “People were coming by to take pictures, and they got to be a real family attraction. Children loved them.� In addition to being entertaining, the goats were
so efficient that they cleared enough ground for crews of inmates who came behind them to be able to remove a massive dump site that included more than 500 junked tires. The brush and the trash weren’t the only things that needed clearing, Hoyos said. “Not only are we cleaning the water, but we were cleaning titles. Every one of those (properties) had some crazy drama. The area had been a dump site forever.� The first five acres of the forest were acquired by TCWN as a result of a lawsuit it fi led in 2003 against Knoxville Utilities Board for storm-sewer overflows that polluted the groundwater and leached into the creek. In 2004, KUB was slapped with a consent decree obligating it to a supplemental environmental project requiring the purchase of property around the creek
to establish an urban forest to protect the creek and surrounding wetlands, and the parties reached an agreement. In 2007, neighborhood resident Rick Roach and fellow St. Luke’s Episcopal Church parishioner Lida Mayer started Friends of Williams Creek, which aimed at cleaning up the creek that represented Roach’s favorite childhood memories, many years before it was declared the most polluted creek in Knox County. Friends of Williams Creek worked at building community support and joined forces with TCWN and other groups. The second phase of the
cleanup was made possible by a $100,000 grant from the Aslan Foundation that put the project on a faster track and allowed Hoyos to do things like bringing in the goats. The urban forest will become part of the extension of the James White Greenway along Dailey Street between Brooks Avenue and South Chestnut Street to the east. The new land acquisition will enable the city to close Dailey, making it less inviting to illegal trash dumpers and other lawbreakers. When completed, the greenway will link the Williams Creek Golf Course with the Knoxville Botanical Gardens.
