Lane Kiffi n revisited (again)
“About the time Lane Kif-fin landed in Los Angeles and used mattresses were going out in Knoxville,” Marvin West writes, “I told myself not to waste any more words on the boy coach who wanted to be Steve Spurrier.”
But, Marvin says, a ques-tion was obviously poetic:
Wonder where the Vols would be if Kiffin had stayed at Tennessee?

She has volunteered since her son, Rob, began playing sports at age 5, helping coach his Little League team. She was the team mom, statistician and the league secretary for several years. She organized the fi rst ever opening day at the ball fi eld. “You can say that got me hooked with organiz-ing events,” she said. “I am very involved in my children’s activities.

‘Fun Fest’ at Hillside Baptist Church
By Theresa EdwardsHillside Baptist Church
invited the community to its annual two-day “Fun Fest” Aug. 2-3 before back-to-school time.
The parking lot turned into a festival, with in-flatable slides and bounce house, merry-go-round,
dunking booth, basket-ball and sno-cones. In-side, the church provided a pizza party after Sunday service.
One highlight was the chance to dunk pastor Terry Richard, at $1 dona-tion per shot for the activ-ity fund. “Ooh, that wa-
ter’s cold!” he said, saying that as soon as the sun warmed him up, he would get dunked again.
Everyone was thank-ful for the sunny weather and had fun, especially Chelsey Goddard and Drake Hesseling who won bikes.

School leadership is key

McIntyre outlines selection process
By Jake Mabe Superintendent Dr. Jim
McIntyre said selecting school administrators is “the most important thing I do” and “I take the job of putting the right school leaders in the right place seriously.”
McIntyre said he person-ally interviews each one.
“It’s that important. It’s not something I take lightly and I make the decision based on what’s in the best interest of the school and particularly of the children.”
Responding to recent Shopper-News stories in which we questioned per-sonnel decisions at Shan-nondale Elementary and Halls High, McIntyre said there are times when he has to make diffi cult decisions.
He says principal Jack Nealy “brings to Shannon-dale what it needs to be a continuing success.
“Jack has a great way in terms of working with teachers, parents and stu-
dents to feel great pride and to ensure that the school is focused on stu-dent learning.”
Mike Wise, a special education teacher at Har-din Valley Academy, has replaced Jason Webster as assistant principal at Halls High. McIntyre said Wise did excellent work in the Great School Partnership’s Summer Bridge Program and was recommended by Halls High principal Mark Duff.
McIntyre acknowledged different philosophies about leadership.
“I believe it’s good to keep a principal in place for plenty of time but I also think it’s valuable for as-sistant principals to have a variety of experiences and broad leadership.”
McIntyre praised the Charting the CourSE ses-sions held the week of July 30, saying it gave him a chance to talk to 4,000 Knox County educators about the new common core curriculum “and how that impacts what we’re
doing, that there is a logi-cal, coherent alignment” between the new curricu-lum and the school sys-tem’s strategic plan.
“It was a wonderful op-portunity for me to talk to our teachers in one week’s time. I talked a little more about myself personally and got some positive feedback.”
This was confi rmed by a teacher who said, “It was the best job I’ve ever seen Dr. McIntyre do with this kind of thing.”
‘Diffi cult decisions’McIntyre fi lled 53
school-level administra-tive positions for this aca-demic year, leaving 30 for-mer principals or assistant principals unassigned to administration. Many re-tired or quit, two went to the Leadership Academy, but some were reassigned to the classroom.
That process was brutal.A veteran administrator
told us:“I was called to Dr. Mc-
Intyre’s office and placed at a conference table. He came into the room (along with two others) and said, ‘You’re a nice (person), but not a good fit. I’m placing you back in the classroom.’
“He got up and left and that was it. I gave my heart and soul to (my school) and didn’t even get a hand-shake for the trouble.”
Instead, this adminis-trator will take a multi-thousand dollar pay cut.
Seeking legal recourse,the educator discoveredthat Tennessee is a right-to-work state, which in partmeans a superintendent isnot required to give a rea-son for personnel changes.
Currently, 29 lawsuitsare pending against KnoxCounty Schools, 11 ofwhich were fi led by staffon personnel issues, ac-cording to Law DirectorJoe Jarret. Others includepersonal injury cases asteachers are not eligiblefor workers’ compensa-tion.
A Nashville law fi rm hasbeen hired by the Tennes-see Education Associationto handle lawsuits on be-half of its members. Court-ney Wilbert, a partner inthat fi rm, said no casesare currently set, althoughfi ve cases were consolidat-ed and heard in April byChancellor Daryl Fansler.

with Kelley GrabillThe word that describes Kelley Grabill best is “volunteer,”
not only because she loves the Vols football team, but be-cause she is always volunteering in the Karns community.
She has volunteered since her son, Rob, began playing sports at age 5, helping coach his Little League team. She was the team mom, statistician and the league secretary for several years. She organized the fi rst ever opening day at the ball fi eld. “You can say that got me hooked with organizing events,” she said. “I am very involved in my children’s activities.
Kelley is married to Joe, her high school sweetheart. Rob, now 21, works in sales at Comcast. Their daughter Kerri, 15, is a sophomore at Karns High. She is the 2012 Knoxville Teen Princess and was in the Karns and Har-din Valley parades. Kerri also was fi rst runner-up in the Karns Fairest of the Fair Miss Teen pageant.
Kelley has directed Fairest of the Fair for seven years, helping it grow from two divisions to four pageants, now the biggest fundraiser for the Karns Fair and the Karns Business Association.
This year, Kelley volunteered to be the Karns Fair pres-ident, since Roger Kane stepped down to take on his new duties representing the 89th District in Nashville. Erica Copeland will be the new Karns pageant director, while Kelley oversees it as executive director. “She (Erica) has a lot of talent, and I am very excited for her,” said Kelley.
Kelley was also the Karns Business Association presi-dent for nearly two terms and saw attendance nearly qua-druple. “It’s all about getting involved,” she said.
After 9/11, she “learned to fi ght fi res and run EMS calls with the guys.” She took over the database management for donations in 2003. And just last year she came on full time with the Karns Fire Department as the administra-tive assistant.
Sit and have a Coffee Break as you get to know Kelley Grabill:
How long have you lived in Karns? “My family moved to Knoxville in December of 2004
when Rob was just 3 years old. I absolutely love our com-munity and love being involved for a better community!”
What is your favorite thing about the Karns pageant?“I love the girls and the confi dence they possess!
They sometimes are a bit shy; but after the fi rst pag-eant, they always want to come back!”
Coffee Break
It can be your neighbor, club leader, bridge partner, boss, father, teacher – anyone
you think would be interesting to Karns/Hardin Valley Shopper-News readers. Email
suggestions to Theresa Edwards, [email protected]. Include contact info if you can.
Besides the pageant, what is your favorite part of the Karns Fair?
“I love the dunking booth! I always ‘hit’ the button to have someone fall into the tank! I just love seeing every-one having a fabulous time; smiles everywhere!”
Where is your favorite place for lunch? “You’d think I would say one of these great restau-
rants in Karns/Hardin Valley. I’m thankful we have them, but my desk is my favorite place, honestly. As much running around as I do with this or that, I appreci-ate the quiet time.”
What was your most fun vacation?“I have never been on a real vacation, ever!”
What is your favorite book and why? “I really enjoy the V.C. Andrews books. I get into the
“family” quite easily; they become a part of my life for a bit!”
If you could have any vehicle, what would it be, including color?
“I love the look of the 2004 Dodge Ram with the Hemi engine! Favorite color? That orangey-cinnamon color ... wow o wow!”
How do you relax?“I love to crochet. I have completed two afghans this
year and am working on my third. I also love to decorate and paint.”
What is your favorite television show and why?“Anything with ‘CSI’ involved! ‘Criminal Minds,’ ‘Law
and Order, SVU’ ... Love the intensity of ‘who did it?’ ”
What advice has meant a lot in your life? “Someone once told me that you can choose your path
in which to live your life. One way is the wrong way . …You choose! I grew up in foster care from the age of 9. My sisters and I were thankfully together until I was 13 years old. Then we were split up. One sister chose to become a drug/social counselor, one chose not so good and I chose to not duplicate my life before 9. It worked out very well!”
What advice do you often give others? “Chin up – be grateful, tomorrow is another day.”
How do others describe you? “As a person who knows everyone; as a person who is
involved in everything; and as a person who cannot say ‘no.’ ”
If you could have one wish come true, what would it be? “To have my diabetes go away for good!”
Who is your favorite historical character and why? “Hmmm ... I love Elvis! Is he historical?”
What irks you the most? “People who are so ‘fake.’ ”
What makes you happy? “Seeing my family happy.”

Former UT women’s track star and Knoxville resident DeeDee Trotter won the 2012 Olympic bronze medal in the 400-meter race.
This was the first indi-vidual medal in her career. In 2004, she won an Olym-pic gold medal as part of the 4x400 relay team.
She is the founder of “Test me, I’m clean,” an organization now known worldwide.
■ Cherokee Caverns hosts 300 Cherokee Caverns’ “Cool
Down in the Cave” event was popular with more than 300 visitors. “We only open it to the public a few days a year,” said cave historian Jim Whidby. “It is open one Saturday in February, one Saturday in May and one Saturday in August.”
This year, Cherokee Cav-erns will present a family-friendly “Trick or Treating in the Cave.” Whidby says it will be different this year. “It won’t be as dark or scary.” Local businesses and “cave creepies” will
greet guests along the way and hand out candy to the kids.
The path through the cave is safe, well-lit, and stroller and wheelchair friendly.
Throughout the year, private group tours are ar-ranged by appointment, preferably for 12 or more people. It is a popular place for Scouts, church groups and birthday par-ties. There have also been five weddings in the cave.
There are 171 caves in Knox County. “This cave is the most historical and most beautiful,” said Whidby. “It is unusual to find this many pretty for-mations in this type of cave.” It has Copper Ridge dolomite, which is harder than the limestone often found in caves.
■ Karns pancake breakfastThe Karns High School
basketball booster pan-cake breakfast will be 8-10 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 18, at Aubrey’s, 9208 Middle-brook Pike. Tickets are $5 for pancakes, eggs, bacon and a drink.

Leadership AcademyDevelopment of effec-
tive school leaders is a major component of the school system’s strategic plan. McIntyre is tasked to “create strong leader-ship at each school.”
Three years ago he rec-ommended and the school board created the Leader-ship Academy, a program to which aspiring princi-pals apply.
Those selected are paid for a year as an assistant principal, working with an experienced mentor prin-cipal (one day a week is spent in coursework with experienced practitio-ners).
It’s all under the leader-ship of former HR director Betty Sue Sparks.
The first two years saw 19 individuals complete the training. Of those, eight are already head principals, McIntyre said, obviously proud of these new leaders.
The path to school lead-ership is clear. No longer is the assistant principal’s chair a pre-retirement spot for aging coaches.
What’s not so clear is by what criteria the super-intendent decides which principals to remove.
And how fairly are these individuals treated?

Running to make a diff erence
Volunteering comes naturally to Jerome Miller, who started coaching youth sports years ago at Cedar Bluff Farragut Optimist Club events – football and basketball – and served on the board of directors.
Even after his children grew up, he stayed involved, drawing on his experience running track in high school and college to volunteer with the Knoxville Track Club and to become track coach at Farragut Middle School. When a ruptured Achilles tendon slowed him physi-cally, he chaired the town of Farragut’s Community Cen-ter Search Committee and has now been nominated to serve on the Knox County Library Advisory Board.
Becoming the Democratic nominee for the 14th District state House of Representa-tives seat is another way of continuing that involve-ment, Miller said. He will face Republican nominee and incumbent state Rep. Ryan Haynes in November.
“My emphasis is on the economy, education and the environment,” he said. “Gov. Haslam recently met with university offi cials around the state. What I would like to suggest is that if you had an internship required in every major, employers would say, ‘Hmmmmmm. They’ve got experience, and that’s a potential hire.’
“That’s what I look at in terms of why I’m running. You can use education to create the right environ-ment to build up the econ-omy. I want to see this dis-trict prosper.
“Environment is one of the areas of focus in my campaign – I’m also talking about quality of life. That’s where I can make a differ-ence. I think it’s important to have a broad background.
I’ve got knowledge, but it’s not just the knowledge, I have the experience, and I’ve always had a desire to serve and to make a dif-ference in my community,” Miller said.
“That started with get-ting involved in the com-munity when my kids started school. I wanted to be involved in my kids’ ex-periences, as well as to sup-port them as needed. When somebody would say, ‘Who wants to volunteer?’ My hand would go up. I was al-ways saying ‘What can I do to help?’ ”
It’s not like he had noth-ing else to do.
A mechanical engineer by training (he worked his
way through North Carolina A&T State University to be-come the fi rst college gradu-ate in his family), Miller, who grew up in Asheville, N.C., and his wife, Cynthia, came to Knoxville in 1978 after he accepted a job at Union Carbide (now the B&W Y-12 plant) in Oak Ridge.
Today, he oversees liquid waste operations there and is responsible for treatment of industrial wastewater to ensure that discharge lim-its are met and that the fa-cilities are maintained and operated correctly. He has a private consulting business on the side, and received the B&W Small Business Ad-vocate of the Year award in 2010.
But he thinks he can do more:
“I can make a difference in the way the Legislature is being run. It’s divided. I have experience with large businesses and small corpo-rations. I can work with the right side of the aisle and left side of aisle. That’s why I got that small business award. I can work with people to solve common problems, which is not what we are see-ing now. You don’t hear the emphasis on jobs. I believe I can make that difference.”
GOSSIP AND LIES ■ Commissioner Jeff Ownby
is back in the news, this time
with reams of endorsements
from his pals. He wants
judicial diversion (leading to
expungement of his record)
on the misdemeanor charge
of indecent exposure after
he was caught having sex on
Sharps Ridge in May.
■ Greg Isaacs, one of this
town’s most expensive attor-

Mike Kernell, a Democrat who lost his campaign for renomina-tion due to redistrict-ing, retires Nov. 6 after 38 years as a state rep-resentative. His pension, based on time served, will be over $2,850 a month or $34,500 a year which substantially ex-ceeds his income as a representative.
Few outside his Memphis district knew Kernell. He seldom spon-sored a bill which was enacted or advocated sig-nificant issues. He was probably best known as the father of David Ker-nell, a UT student who was convicted in federal district court for hacking into the email of former vice presidential candi-date Sarah Palin.
On the other hand, Mike was personally a very nice and friendly person to all.
■ Mayor Madeline Rogero is meeting individually with each of the nine city council members over the next several weeks to discuss their priorities as well as to become better ac-quainted. This is a wise move as a strong personal relationship with council members is important to the success of her agenda. Even when an individual council member dis-agrees on a specifi c issue, there will be other issues on which they will agree and the mayor needs backing.
These meetings are generally one-on-one wherever the council member wishes to meet. Since only one council member is involved in each meeting, there is not a violation of the state’s open meetings law.
■ Council member Nick Della Volpe has advised this writer that he has not decided whether to seek a second term in 2013. He says “it is too soon” to decide. Mean-while, he is working to complete the greenway near Love’s Creek, a prior-ity of his for many years. This will be a signifi cant contribution to the city greenway system when completed.
■ Former City Law Director W. Morris Kizer has been ap-pointed a special state Supreme Court justice by Gov. Bill Haslam along with four other Tennesse-ans. They include former Justices Mickey Barger and George Brown, retired federal district
Catching up
Judge Robert Echols and Nashville attorney Andree Blumstein.
Kizer was Haslam’s law director during his first term as mayor.
Kizer’s father served as a Circuit Court judge in Gibson County in West Tennessee where Kizer grew up before moving to Knoxville to go to the University of Tennessee Law School. Kizer is a hiker and served on the Knoxville Community Development Corpora-tion as a member and chair by appointment of this writer.
■ The special justices will consider the challenge of former Democratic gubernato-rial candidate John Jay Hooker to Tennessee’s plan for judicial selection of judges. This issue has been around since the early 1970s when the plan was enacted by the Leg-islature with supporters saying it keeps money out of the judicial selection process and opponents arguing that it denies the people a direct vote on choosing judges.
Hooker came close to being elected governor in 1970 but was defeated by Winfield Dunn, then a Memphis dentist, who became the first Repub-lican Governor in over 50 years. Hooker today is 80 and has had a long and varied political and business career. Dunn is 84 and in good health living in Nashville with his wife, Betty.
■ Council member Marshall Stair, who is an avid canoeist, is also a dedicated backpacker having spent a week in July in Montana with his younger brother Morgan hiking the western back-woods. Two weekends ago he went paddling down the Watauga in Carter County one day and the Hiwassee in Polk County the next day.
■ Council member Duane Grieve is recov-ering well from surgery last week to repair his hernia. He plans on seek-ing re-election in 2013. He was a landslide winner in 2009 and a strong propo-nent of parks, neighbor-hood values and sound fi scal practices.

My fi rst experience with grassroots politics came in the 1970s at the hands of some wonderful and inspir-ing women who have since passed away.
Mickey Childress, Ha-zel Showalter, Joann Clark, Lois Seymour and Katherine Shook pretty much ran Re-publican Party politics in the suburbs west of downtown.
Politics seemed much nicer then. Nowadays it feels as if we have lost our way. Or maybe it’s just our civility we’ve lost.
It’s hard to believe, but the women actually put on their pearls and nibbled lit-tle sandwiches and sipped punch at afternoon “meet the candidate” events then called “teas.”
I don’t recall ever seeing any actual tea, but we went to so many of these events that sometimes we would wa-ger on what color the punch would be at the next one.
It probably looked sim-plistic, but these volunteers also worked like dogs to get their candidates elected. They were anything but na-ïve. That bunch of women was uppity before most folks could spell uppity, and proud of it.
They organized every voting precinct in their dis-tricts to the extent that they could pretty much predict the turnout within a few votes. They knew how just about everyone would vote. In those days, people told the truth when asked who they favored.
The women divided up neighborhoods so that each had an overall chair. And then they named a captain for each block. The job of the block captain was to personally contact every person on her block – sorry, fellas, but I just don’t recall any men being involved in any of this – to encourage votes for the chosen candi-dates. If the contact gave the right answer, they were en-couraged to contact fi ve (or 10, depending on their level of enthusiasm) to ask for their votes and ask each of those to contact that many more.
All of this was carefully tracked and followed up with phone calls, invitations to meet the candidate and offers of rides to the polls on election day.
It worked. And it’s appar-ently pretty much the way things were done in the new 89th House District race that resulted in the win by relative political newcomer Roger Kane over former sheriff and political power-house Tim Hutchison.
All of the polls showed Hutchison winning – those taken months before elec-tion day and those taken just a couple of days before. All of the “street talk” was that he would win. The pun-dits agreed.
Despite that, Hutchison didn’t slack off. He worked hard, but Kane ran what is now being called a “stealth campaign,” with volunteers meeting at his house weekly for six months to plan strat-egy and then cover the dis-trict on Saturdays to knock on doors, make phone calls and ask for votes.
No stealth about it. It was nothing but an old-fash-ioned grassroots political campaign.
Grassroots campaigning Roddy joins STEMFormer City Council mem-
ber Marilyn Roddy has been chosen as KARST project man-ager by a 9 - m e m b e r a d v i s o r y board. Her $77,000 sal-ary is funded through the
Race to the Top grant and she will be based at the L&N STEM Academy.
Since Knox County is the lead agency for the regional STEM project, Superintendent Dr. Jim McIntyre approved the appointment last week, saying it is a role that fi ts well with Roddy’s skills.
The KARST hub is a re-gional partnership of edu-cational, business, scientif-ic, and research institutions and groups organized to promote and support high quality STEM education in the region. It includes 19 school districts and 11 coun-ties that surround Knox County.
KARST is part of the Tennessee STEM Innova-tion Network, designed with “platform schools” that con-nect the region and establish best practices for STEM. The L&N STEM Academy is one of six platform schools across the state.

Southern California coach Lane Kiffi n takes questions at
the Pac-12 NCAA college football media day in Los Angeles,
Tuesday, July 24, 2012. AP Photo/Damian Dovarganes
CROSS CURRENTS | Lynn Hutton
TALES OF TENNESSEE | Marvin West
About the time Lane Kif-fi n landed in Los Angeles
and used mattress fi res were going out in Knoxville, I told myself not to waste any more words on the boy coach who wanted to be Steve Spurrier.
Kiffi n cooperated. He stopped throwing verbal hand grenades. In the two years and several months that followed, he seemed al-most subdued on TV.
There were rumors that Kiffi n was growing up. He loved his dream job. No more far-out behavior, no more wrecked courtesy cars, no more wild and crazy risks. All was quiet on the western front.
Southern Cal went on se-rious probation. God was watching. New athletic di-
rector Pat Haden was all business. Be careful. Be nice.
Alas and alas, the NCAA-handicapped team won 10 games last season at the ex-act time Tennessee was los-ing seven. Kiffi n was exalted for his ability to manage the penalty.
Southern Cal killed UCLA, 50-0, on the same Saturday Derek Dooley was trying to explain the Ken-tucky disaster.
The question was obvi-ously poetic:
Wonder where the Vols would be
If Kiffi n had stayed at Tennessee?
The fi rst answer was “on probation.”
The second was “Kiffi n didn’t belong here. He was
never one of us.”Tennessee people who
cheered his arrival jeered his departure. Lane was lame, decent as an offensive coach but suspect as a human be-ing. Zero loyalty, question-able character. And his right-hand man, Ed Orgeron, was worse. They actually tried to steal early enrollees. Blatant bandits!
What’s more, daddy Kif-fi n had no clue how to defend the wildcat formation. Good riddance.
Critics piled on. Of all the complaints I heard, my fa-vorite was “Lane was always living on the edge.”
Irresponsible. Wrong. Cocky, confrontational, controversial, perhaps con-trived.
better deal, remaining Kif-fi n’s quarterback. Trojan vultures got Penn State’s best player.
Southern Cal projects as a contender, maybe the co-favorite with LSU, for the national championship.
Oh my, that means com-parisons between Kiffi n and Dooley will continue. They are unfair. Southern Cal had talent when Lane arrived. Dooley inherited whatever it was Lane left behind. It was no treasure chest.
Kiffi n has undergone a philosophical transforma-tion. At 37, he is now new and improved. What the late Al Davis said about him is al-most forgotten. He is build-ing credibility. He is actually diplomatic. People like him.
He smiles instead of smirks. He even laughs about the old days when he was voted most despised coach in college football.
Here in Tennessee, rejec-tion still hurts but too many fans can’t decide whether it is good or bad that Kiffi n is gone. That is sad.Marvin West invites reader reaction. His
address is [email protected]
Lane Kiffi nrevisited (again)
He held out his hand with a pot of dirt and what looked
for all the world like two small
yellow-white river rocks nestled
together on top of the soil. “Stonecrop,” he said. “From
South Africa.”It has been 40 years or so
Stones that
bloom
The wilderness and the dry land shall be glad, the desert shall rejoice and blossom; like the crocus it shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice with joy and singing. The glory of Lebanon shall be given to it, the majesty of Carmel and Sharon. They shall see the glory of the Lord, the majesty of our God.
(Psalm 35: 1-2 NRSV)
since my friend introduced me to stonecrop, and I have since lost touch with him and his wife. (It is a sad fact that friends get divided up in a divorce, much like the linens and the pets.) But whenever I think of stonecrop, I think of Paul.
Paul had grown up around fl ow-ers. His parents owned a nursery in the small West Virginia town where we lived. He knew them by name – both their common and scientifi c names – much as he knew the names of his friends. And he was a born teacher; he loved to introduce his human friends to his botanical friends.
So he introduced me to stone-crop. I thought all these years that stonecrop was the little stone-like plant I saw in Paul’s nursery. That was stonecrop, but, oh my, stone-crop means so much more. It is
of the sedum family and they are varied and many and large and robust and fl owering.
The amazing thing about the little river rock-looking stone-crop I first met is this: as it grows, it divides (much like cells), right in the middle and becomes like two stones, squished up against each other. (Imagine two lumps of bread dough formed into balls and allowed to rise and meet.)
And eventually, out of those two “stones” – out of the dividing line between them – will sprout a f lower.
I realize that even as I try to describe it, you can’t imagine it unless you have seen it: it is a miracle, one of God’s countless tiny miracles in this world, and a parable for life.
A stone that blooms is a sign of hope in hard times.
Like the desert blossoming, a f lower growing out of a rock is one of God’s little Hallmark cards to us: A “Hang in there” message, or a “Surprise ahead” promise, or a “Love you; don’t forget” note in your lunchbox.
There are hard days when the present is bleak and the tomor-rows look a lot like the yesterdays.
In the midst of the ups and downs of life, it helps to re-member that God made f lowers spring forth out of rocks to make us smile. A God who cares about us enough to surprise us with f lowers, like any lover sending a bouquet, is a God who will be with us, in the deserts and in the springtimes of life.
That is a God who makes me want to offer God my worship, my service, my obedience, my praise, my love, my all.
What Tennessee tradi-tion? If players want black jerseys, we’ll have black jer-seys. Recruit, always recruit.
Indeed, Lane recruited boldly but half the four- and fi ve-stars he brought in were overloaded with bad bag-gage. It was embarrassing.
Make-believe armed rob-bery in a Pilot parking lot?
How dumb can football play-ers be?
OK, Kiffi n did sign Tyler Bray.
That was then. There is a current problem. Kiffi n is back, luring the No. 1 prep star in Tennessee. Blue-chip prospects have fl ocked to him. Matt Barkley smiled at NFL draft talk and chose a

By Theresa Edwards“Mommy’s Little Prin-
cess” fourth annual mother-daughter tea party coordi-nated and hosted by Karns resident Andrika Lang-ham was held at Gettysvue Country Club on Aug. 4.
It all started when a group of moms and their daughters in dance class thought it would be a fun luncheon, getting dressed up wearing dresses, hats and gloves. Their fi rst tea was at the Apple Cake Tea Room. The event moved to Gettysvue the second year when the group expanded.
Anyone who knows Langham knows she gives it her all when planning an

event, and each year it gets better. In addition to the luncheon, there were activi-ties at “stations” where the girls had their nails painted, got makeup applied, deco-rated cupcakes and embel-lished personalized photo frames. A photographer was
available for mother-daugh-ter portraits and candid ac-tivity photos. Langham also gave each girl and mom a special gift.
Zoe Winterbotham read the tea etiquette book and Lennox Langham said the prayer before the tea and luncheon.
Each year, the children are involved in some way. As they grow older, Langham
envisions the girls planning more of the event, choosing the theme and activities. “After they graduate from high school, maybe we’ll be doing bridal showers to-gether,” she said.
In February, Langham coordinates and hosts an an-nual father-daughter “prom.” She may be contacted by email at [email protected].

Q. I have high blood pressure and my doctor has told me I need to reduce sodium in my diet. What is the
recommended amount of sodium I should eat every day and what foods should I cut out fi rst?
A. Foods high in sodium can cause or
exacerbate high blood pressure. In general, adults should work to maintain a dietary
intake of sodium at 2.3g or less daily while adults placed on a low sodium diet should keep their sodium intake limited to 1.5g per day.
Your sodium intake isn’t limited to table salt. Check food labels and watch for terms on the labels like soda, sodium and the symbol Na. Prepackaged foods, canned foods, soups, and prepared foods have high sodium content and should be avoided if possible.
Finally, keep in mind that sea salt is not a healthy alternative to table salt. The two salt forms contain the same amount of sodium and count equally toward your daily sodium intake.

By Sherri Gardner HowellThere were no “off limits”
topics at the inaugural Care-givers Expo on Saturday, Aug. 4, at Cokesbury Center. A panel of experts took ques-tions from the 160-170 par-ticipants that ranged from how to set up a power of at-torney to how to battle losing faith in God.
It is a group with a lot on their hearts, says organizer Bob Coyne. Coyne, who has a non-profi t business as a care-giver facilitator, partnered with a committee headed by Carol Hollar, Kim Owen and Veronica Gibson to bring the expo to fruition.
“It was a roaring success,” says Coyne. “We had a good crowd of approximately 170 people and had 40 vendors with great displays. From the keynote address by Edward Harper to the questions for the panel to the fi nal presen-tation and remarks by Bob Kesling, everyone was en-gaged and learning.”
Caring for the caregivers
Friends Vivian Akins-Borge, admissions director at NHC Place
Assisted Living, and Carolyn Neil, who is with Elder Advocates,
talk during a lunch break at the Caregivers Expo at Cokesbury
Center on Saturday, Aug. 4.
Blake McCoy shows his family – wife, Candy, and son, Kyan – the display for Independent Insur-
ance Consultants at the Caregivers Expo. IIC was one of the major sponsors for the event.
Coyne’s involvement in conducting seminars came from his own personal expe-rience of caring for his wife for six years.
“Everyone involved has a story to tell,” says Coyne, “so everyone has their hearts in helping caregivers.”
Kesling was presented an award honoring his role as a caregiver in his own family as well as his work to bring
community attention to Al-zheimer’s and other diseases that affect the elderly.
Coyne says there are plans to make the Caregiver Expo an annual event.
“There is such a need for support and information on caring for our loved ones,” he says. “We need a big way to get the message out, and this looks to be a good vehicle.”

It’s that time of year when the attention turns to kids. Schools
are start-ing, back-to-school sales are happening and the ex-citement is contagious! If you want to give your children a personal space, there are lots of home products for tots to teens that
are kid-friendly and that can make mom and dad’s lives a little easier.
Small children love small things their size. Installing kid-size bathroom fixtures simplifies potty training and makes bath time fun. Being able to reach the faucet makes them feel like big kids. American Standard’s Baby Devoro toilet is a maximum of 12 inches high. A perfect transi-tion from the potty chair to big kid potty! The FunBath® is a tub insert that fits easily into a standard tub. No more bend-ing over for parents! A vanity with a slide-out step-stool is the perfect solution for reaching a faucet that can adjust to prevent scalding.
For a funky teen look, a pink bathroom vanity or pretty vessel sink can add pizazz.
Beautiful and durable cabi-netry is not just for kitchens. Design an entire bedroom with storage, desks and even beds that are versatile, will grow with the child and last for years.
Lighting manufacturers have seen the light by expanding their children’s lines. Lamps, fixtures and ceiling fans in bright colors, whimsical designs and sports themes personalize a kid space. There are even little diva chan-deliers just oozing in girly pink.
Like a grown-up room, the accessories and occasional pieces add the finishing touch. Art-work, mirrors, fun tables and chests are easy ways to update without breaking the bank!

Sometimes it’s the little extras that simplify life and free up more fun time. Sounds crazy, but adding convenient storage features to existing cabinets—pull-out shelves, drawer organizers and appli-ance lifts—saves time, maximizes storage, and saves your knees. No more diggin’ through a bottom cabinet. Here a few of my faves!
Blind corner cabinets are the worst organized in the kitchen. You know, they’re the cave-like cabinet where you store the juicer you never use. Now, there’s a va-riety of swing-out shelving units made just for blind cabinets. Use-ful space…how smart is that?
Where do you hang your damp kitchen towels? Oh no, don’t say over the stove or dishwasher handle! A pull-out towel hanger mounted in a base cabinet is easy to install and looks sooo much more upscale!
Make recycling handy with a base cabinet slide-out that holds one to four bins. They’re also really cool germ-resistant microfiber pull-out bags with handles—just lift and you’re off to the recycling center.
For those of us who are anti-wrinkle ironing freaks, a wall-mounted ironing board is the berries! It quickly drops down and even swivels! Presto, you’re looking snazzy and on your way in a snap.
Ever had a water leak under your sink? OMG! It can turn cost-ly in an instant. Under-sink drip trays are designed to protect the bottom of your cabinet by holding water. This is an inexpensive way to potentially save big bucks!
Finally, drum roll please…the ultimate storage accessory…the beverage cooler! Everyone deserves a little luxury…and a cool glass of vino!
There are loads of nifty storage products that are terrific additions to your home. Stop by Modern Supply and chat with my peeps about ’em. They’ll have lots of ideas to share. Oh, by the way …

“Holston was nine years old and I was the fi fth prin-cipal,” said Brown, who was recently named a fi nalist for Tennessee Principal of the Year. “What does that tell you about establishing expectations and routine? There were just a few things lacking Today, Holston’s come a long way.”
And that’s not just Brown’s opinion.
The school got national recognition two years ago when the Milken Founda-tion selected Holston as one of three Ambassador Award winners, given to schools that participate and excel in TAP, a system for teacher and student ad-vancement developed in 1999 by Lowell Milken.
Brown was singled out for some powerful praise on Milken’s TAP System website:

pal Tom Brown and his team have transformed Holston Middle from one of the lowest perform-ing middle schools to one of the highest,” said Gary Stark, president and CEO of the National Institute for Excellence in Teaching (NIET) – the organization that runs TAP and funds the Ambassador Award. “Holston Middle School – now a destination of choice for top teachers – is ad-vancing and eager to share its recipe of success.”
Holston’s students are drawn from a school zone that Brown describes as re-sembling a slice of pizza.
“Our school is in the tip of the slice. Our students come from up near the Union and

Grainger County lines, from Ritta and Spring Hill and all over East Knox County to this urban area where we’re located. We have a won-derful school that always makes progress on student achievement.
“Students are happy here, and the parents? I wish they
were more excited, because we’re doing things that are exciting. Those from the outer zones would certainly like to have a school closer to their communities, but we can’t do anything about that but offer them a great school right here, and that’s what we’ve always intended.”
Holston has produced a raft of instructional lead-ers, especially since insti-tuting TAP.
“TAP is based on best practices and on a meta-analysis of what works in teaching and learning. It brings in focused account-ability and we use a robust evaluation model, expanded across the state of Tennes-see. We know it backwards and forwards. We teach it to our teachers.
“We imbed the profes-sional development of our teachers into every week with the expectation that they take what they learn and apply it. Master and mentor teachers are in classrooms every day to reinforce those strategies, those highly effective teach-er skills, and the results are absolutely amazing,” Brown said, pointing out that 87 percent of Holston’s 62 teachers scored at least 3 on a 5-level student achieve-ment assessment.
“Thirty nine of our teach-ers were level 5 and we lost nine teachers to promotion this summer. Last year was even more devastating – we lost 13.”
Holston had 880 stu-
dents last year, making it a medium-sized middle school by Knox County standards. (Karns is the largest, with a population of some 1,400.) And thanks to a faculty that had the fore-sight to recognize the loom-ing federal mandates, the school got ready for the 21st century demands in fi ne fashion, Brown said.
“We have become a mod-el school. About eight years ago, we started getting re-ally serious about what we needed to do differently. We knew with No Child Left Behind, we were going to hit the wall. To be 100 percent profi cient? That’s an impos-sible task.”
So Brown and a group of teachers got together and brainstormed ideas.
“We came up with some basic premises about what we needed to be as teach-ers, and how we needed to stretch ourselves. We started working on plans, and we stumbled across the TAP program. The Great Schools Partnership was looking at new ideas and programs and there were opportunities for people who were willing to roll the dice. We had the opportu-nity to do it, with no risk
involved other than getting the faculty on board.”
Thus, TAP started at Holston seven years ago.
Brown comes by his pas-sion for education naturally. His wife, Janet, retired this summer as assistant princi-pal at Powell Middle School. His father, the late Willard Brown, coached at South High School, was assistant principal at Gresham Mid-dle School and was prin-cipal at Rule High School when it was named one of the top four high schools in the country.
“Seventeen years later, as the assistant principal at Gresham, I got to sit in his chair,” Brown said. “Except for the birth of my children, it was the proud-est day of my life.”
He says he’s been ap-proached about transfer-ring to other schools and pursued by other school districts dangling better-paying offers. But Holston, he says, is where he needs to be.
“We’ve persevered be-cause we know a secret here, and we’ve proven it time and time again – we know how to grow great teachers. There is nogreener pasture.”

Tennessee Fury has won its fi rst D1 AAU girls basket-ball national championship.
The Fury, coached by Shelley Collier of Webb School and Shane Wells of CAK, won July 6 at A-Game Sportsplex in Franklin, go-ing 8-0 in the tournament.
The team had pool wins over teams from Califor-nia, Maryland and Loui-siana. Bracket play saw them defeat Indiana Elite, George Hill and Indiana Blizzard, all from Indiana; Team adidas from Missouri
in the semi-finals and Dal-las Elite from Texas in the championship game.
Fury had a slow start in the final game, trailing 27-16 at the half. However, a hot-shooting Casey Collier hit two 3-pointers on three possessions along with an “and one” to trim the lead to 6 points entering the fi-nal quarter.
Fury dominated the 4th period, outscoring Dallas 23-5 with many of the points coming from the charity stripe. Blair Green led the
team in rebounds for the game with 11. Sydni Harvey was 11 of 12 from the line in the game and 30-33 for the tournament. Fury fi nished the game 20-24 (83 percent) from the free throw line.
Collier and Wells were assisted by Ray Christian and Rob Wampler. The team fi nished the season with a 38-5 record.
Team Members of the national champions are Abbey Cornelius, Haylee Luttrell, Blair Green, Keay-onna Bourne, Katie Bean,

Judy Hubbs, owner of The Adorable Child in Farragut. Photo by S. Carey
By Shannon CareyJudy Hubbs is a self-
described nurturer. In her first career, she served as a NICU nurse, helping premature babies make it through those first months. Six years ago, she decided to take a chance and make her dream of owning a children’s bou-tique come true. Now, she owns and operates The Adorable Child consign-ment boutique in Farragut.
To say that Hubbs loves children would be an un-derstatement. When her three adult children – Angelique, Christian and Brendan – started leaving the nest, Hubbs and her husband, Brad, adopted two little girls from Viet-
nam, Caroline and Victo-ria. Hubbs decorated the two Adorable Child dress-ing rooms in tribute to the girls.
Hubbs enjoys dressing children, and that love is reflected at The Adorable Child. The high-end con-signment items are neat, clean and organized. The new and custom items are hand-picked by Hubbs at market each season. Hubbs and her staff are friendly and willing to help.
“I get to know my cus-tomers well,” she said. “My main thing is building the relationships. They’re like a family to me, and they keep coming back.”
In fact, in six years Hubbs has seen her cus-
tomers all the way from infancy to back-to-school.
Hubbs finds other ways to nurture people. She takes the time to give back to the community, donat-ing clothing and back-to-school items to local ministries and families in need.
When reflecting on the leap of faith it took to open The Adorable Child, Hubbs says, “I thought, ‘I’ll never know if I don’t try.’ ”
Turns out her leap of faith was a good one. One and a half years ago, Hubbs expanded the store.
The Adorable Child has grown into the largest children’s consignment boutique in East Tennes-see. Info: 671-6698.

NEWS FROM PAIDEIA ACADEMY OF KNOXVILLE
Run for the Classics!
Paideia welcomesnew teachers
Paideia Academy is excited to an-nounce four new additions to its faculty.
Lea Kelly will be joining the gram-mar school faculty as the new 4th grade teacher. She and her husband, Damon, have been in Christian ministry for over 22 years. Currently they serve at Cedar Springs Presbyterian Church where Damon is on the pastoral staff, and Lea has worked in the weekday school as well as women’s ministries. A gradu-ate of Bryan College and a long-time Paideia parent, she is well-grounded in the Christian worldview training that is foundational to Paideia’s program. “God is inviting me to take on the in-credible treasure of bringing my teach-ing gifts to pour into the hearts of 4th grade students,” Kelly said.
Timothy Enloe joins Paideia Acad-emy as the Latin instructor. Paideia Academy students study Latin from 3rd grade to 10th grade, so the school de-sires teachers that are not only skilled in the mechanics of the language but who also possess a passion for its use in classical education. Enloe has been in-volved in classical education in various capacities, chiefl y Latin instruction, for eight years. He received his B.A. in Lib-eral Arts and Culture from New Saint Andrews College, and his M.A. in Hu-manities from the University of Dallas. In both degree programs he focused on Classical and Medieval History & Lit-erature and Rhetoric. Having recent ly arrived in the Knoxville area from Cali-fornia, he and his family are quickly
becoming part of the school community where he can pursue his love of Latin and also serve as a fellow in Paideia’s Nicene Hall.
Amy Reed will be teaching and de-veloping the school’s art program. Af-ter graduating from Karns High School and completing a B.A. in Art Educa-tion from Carson-Newman College, she went on to earn an M.S. in Art Educa-tion from the University of Tennessee. As a Knoxville native, Reed has fol-lowed Paideia Academy’s growth while teaching art in various local schools for over ten years. Her service to the art community has also involved serving on the Knoxville Museum of Art Edu-cator’s Committee and participating in regional art competitions.
David Denison will be heading Paideia Academy’s music program. Mr. Denison holds a B.A. and B.S. from Lee University and M.S. from the University of Tennessee. From the moment he fi rst came into contact with Paideia Acad-emy, Denison knew that he wanted to teach at this school. He will be building a comprehensive music program includ-ing music theory, vocal training, expo-sure to various instruments, and music history and appreciation. Denison de-sires to impart a solid understanding and appreciation of the gift of music and its role in Western Civilization. He says he believes in “the value of study-ing music, particularly the heritage and history of Western music and the value of teaching it.”

Tips for talking to children after a traumatic eventAfter a traumatic event, it’s
important that parents and other caregivers recognize any diffi culties children may be going through. The best way to do that is by talking to them. Here are some tips from Peninsula psychiatrist Dr. John Kupfner for talking with children after a traumat-ic event:
■ Provide children with opportunities to talk about what they are seeing on tele-vision and to ask questions.
■ Do not be afraid to ad-mit when you cannot answer all of their questions.
■ Answer questions on a level the child can under-stand.
■ Provide ongoing oppor-tunities for children to talk. They probably will have more questions as time goes on.
■ Use this as an oppor-tunity to establish a family emergency plan. Feeling that there is something you can do may be very com-forting to both children and adults.
■ Allow children to dis-cuss other fears and concerns about unrelated issues. This is a good opportunity to ex-plore these ideas also.
■ Monitor children’s tele-vision watching. Some par-ents may wish to limit their child’s exposure to graphic or troubling scenes. To the extent possible, be present when your child is watching news coverage of the event. It is at these times questions might arise.
■ Help children under-stand that there are no bad emotions and that a wide range of reactions is normal. Encourage children to ex-press their feelings to adults (including teachers and parents) who can help them understand their sometimes strong and troubling emo-tions.
■ Be careful not to scape-goat or generalize about any particular cultural or ethnic group. Try not to focus on blame.
■ In addition to the tragic things they see, help children identify good things, such as heroic actions, family who unite and share support, and the assistance offered by people throughout the com-munity.

Coping with ‘senseless tragedy’ hardest on children
Long after the fi nal shots rang out from the assault weapons of an orange-haired James E. Holmes in-side the Century 16 movie theater in Aurora, Colo., the echo of that deadly act will long linger in the ears, hearts and minds of the terri-fi ed moviegoers inside.
The cost of what Holmes took at that midnight premiere of a “Bat-man” movie goes far beyond his deadly toll of 12 fatalities and 58 injured. In addition to lives taken, Holmes also snatched away the in-nocence, security and dreams of those left behind.
Just as it was in April 2011 when a mentally disturbed gunman shot and killed two innocent people out-side the discharge door at Parkwest Medical Center, the July 20 shoot-ings in Colorado will wreak havoc in the lives of those left behind for years to come.
Whenever tragedies occur – whether man-made or natural – making sense of it all borders on impossible; children and teens, in particular, are the most vulnerable. Feelings of fear, confusion and inse-curity manifest themselves in myri-ad ways as they struggle to cope.
“Whether a child has personally experienced trauma, has seen the event on television or merely heard it dis-cussed by adults, it is important for parents and educators to be informed and ready to
help if stress reactions begin to oc-cur,” said Dr. John Kupfner, a psy-chiatrist at Peninsula Outpatient Center.
“Children respond to trauma in many different ways. Some may have reactions very soon after the event; others may do fi ne for weeks or months and then begin to show troubling behavior. Knowing the signs that are common at different ages can help parents and teachers recognize problems and respond appropriately.”
Among preschoolers, children ages 1-5 fi nd it particularly hard to adjust to change and loss, Kupfner said. These youngsters have not yet developed their own coping skills, so they must depend on parents, family members and teachers to help them through diffi cult times.
Changes in eating and sleeping habits are common, as are unex-

Dr. John Kupfner
plainable aches and pains. Other symptoms to watch for are dis-obedience, hyperactivity, speech diffi culties and aggressive or with-drawn behavior. Preschoolers may tell exaggerated stories about the traumatic event or may refer to it repeatedly.
“Very young children may re-gress to an earlier behavioral stage after a violent or traumatic event,” said Kupfner. “Preschool-ers may resume thumb sucking or bedwetting, or may become afraid of strangers, animals, darkness or ‘monsters.’ They may cling to a parent or teacher, or become very attached to a place where they feel safest.”
Children ages 5-11 may have some of the same reactions that younger children have. They also may with-draw from playgroups and friends, compete more for the attention of parents, fear going to school, allow school performance to drop, become aggressive or fi nd it hard to con-centrate. These children also may return to more childish behaviors, such as asking to be fed or dressed.
Children age 12-14 are likely to have vague physical complaints when under stress and may aban-don chores, school work or other responsibilities they previously handled. Though they may com-pete vigorously for attention from parents and teachers, they also may withdraw, resist authority, become disruptive at home or in the classroom, or begin to experi-ment with high-risk behaviors such as alcohol or drugs.
“These young people are at a developmental stage in which the opinions of others are very impor-tant,” said Kupfner. “They need to be thought of as ‘normal’ by their friends and are less concerned about relating well with adults or participating in family activities they once enjoyed.”
In later adolescence, teens may experience feelings of helplessness and guilt because they are unable to assume full adult responsibilities as the community responds to the traumatic event. Older teens may deny the extent of their reactions to the traumatic event.
“Reassurance is the key to help-ing children through a traumatic time,” said Kupfner. “Very young children need a lot of cuddling, as well as verbal support. Answer questions about the event honestly but do not dwell on frightening de-tails or allow the subject to domi-nate family or classroom time in-defi nitely. Encourage children of all ages to express emotions through conversation, writing or artwork and to fi nd a way to help others who were affected by this event.”
Kupfner also urges parents to try to maintain a normal house-hold or classroom routine and encourage children to participate in recreational activity. “Tempo-rarily reduce your expectations about performance in school or at home, perhaps by substituting less demanding responsibilities for normal chores,” he said. “Acknowl-edge that you, too, may have reac-tions associated with the traumatic
event and take steps to promote your own physical and emotional healing.”
For some children, more active interventions may be required, par-ticularly if they were more directly affected by the traumatic event.
The family, as a unit, might con-sider counseling. Traumatic events often reawaken a child’s fear of loss of parents (frequently a child’s greatest fear) at a time when par-ents may be preoccupied with their own practical and emotional diffi -culties.
Families may choose to permit temporary regressive behavior. Several arrangements may help children separate gradually after the agreed-upon time limit: spend-ing extra time with parents imme-diately before bedtime, leaving the child’s bedroom door slightly ajar and using a nightlight.
Conversely, many parents have their own fears – fears of leaving a child alone after a traumatic event or other fears they may be unable to acknowledge. “Parents often are more able to seek help on the chil-dren’s behalf and may, in fact, use the children’s problems as a way of asking for help themselves and other family members,” said Kupf-ner. “It’s important to recognize the need for help in both our children and in ourselves. It’s the fi rst step in reclaiming some of the life we knew before the tragedy.”

By Theresa EdwardsThe Zebra Swallowtail,
which is Tennessee’s offi cial state butterfl y as of 1994, is on the almost endangered “watch list” according to Amanda Suenkel, butterfl y specialist at the Knoxville Zoo.
The zoo has a unique one in their butterfl y habitat, a “late bloomer.” Normally, it takes 2-4 weeks for a butter-fl y to emerge from its chrys-alis. So, when a chrysalis remained motionless for 12 weeks at the zoo, workers thought it was dead.
“Randomly, one day (July 20) he popped out and surprised us—very much so,” butterfl y caretaker Casey Milligan exclaimed. “He’s doing good so far,” she said on Aug. 1.
He has a bent wing pre-venting fl ight, and there are different theories of the cause. When a butterfl y emerges from its chrysalis, it must hang upside down usually an hour or two, pumping up and drying its
wings. Suenkel believes he did not hang upside down long enough for his wings to dry completely.
A theory by Milligan is that since the butterfl y remained inside the chrysalis for an ex-tended period of time, he was unable to straighten his wing completely.
This special butterfl y is in a protected area of the butterfl y habitat, where workers move him around as necessary to make sure his needs are met such as food. A feeder resembling a birdbath contains water-melon, bananas and orange Gatorade. The other food source is the fl owering but-terfl y bush providing sweet nectar.
Interestingly, butterfl ies sense taste through their feet.
The other Zebra Swal-lowtails are gone from the zoo, as they usually live only 2-6 weeks, according to Suenkel. So, if you want to see this one, hurry on over to the Knoxville Zoo.

Agency awarded Chaplain Bob East for his lifetime of dedication serving as a volunteer for more than six decades. The award was signed by director William S. Worth and area coordinator Bob Crane.
Crane shared East’s favorite quote: “If not you, who? If not now, when? If not here, where?”
East served in the U.S. Navy four years, where he received the nickname “Baker Bob.” He helped test the atomic bomb at the end of World War II. Afterward, he graduated from the Southern Missionary College in 1954.
From 1954 to 1989, East worked on administering education for the Seventh Day Adventist Church. In 1960, at age 30, he was diagnosed with multiple scle-rosis. He referred to it as “the great crippler.”
East started the “Begin Again” organization to help others with MS. In addition, he wrote two books, cre-ated a CD of his experiences and developed therapies to aid others with MS.
His philosophy is that health is wealth. He now has videos on YouTube teaching healthy eating and how to juice vegetables.
“It is impressive what he has done,” said Crane.Angie Minor commended East for his accomplish-
ments. “In my opinion, Bob East is the reason we have a Northeast Chapter of VOAD (Voluntary Organiza-tions Active in Disasters). Bob’s passion, dedication, persistence and guidance led the way to ensure there is a system in place in our end of the state to be better prepared for a disaster situation.
“His tireless efforts and unending passion for serv-ing people make Bob stand tall and strong among us. A simple thank you is not enough. We owe this man,” said Minor.

NEWS FROM PROVISION HEALTH & WELLNESS
Stop me if you have heard this before… “I know I should be getting regular exercise, but there are so many differ-ent programs out there with specifi c guidelines and protocols… I don’t know what they mean.
“Are they going to benefi t me? Will they hurt me if I don’t do them right?
“I’m overwhelmed; I guess I will just stick to my regular old routine.”
This may be some-thing you have not only heard, it could be something you have said yourself!
While we are con-stantly taking advice about our fi tness routines from magazines and talk show hosts, when is the last time you took some advice from yourself? Be honest, do you really en-joy your fi tness routine? We work hardest for the things we enjoy and your fi tness program should be no exception. After all, you get out what you put in; if your daily exercise is lackluster and hap-hazard, then so are the results.
No two people are exactly alike. Therefore, no two fi tness programs should be the same.
The best resource for developing a fitness program that is unique to your goals, skills, abilities and even limi-tations is you! Take the time to try new things in your fitness routine. Have you ever taken a Zumba class? Yoga? Pilates? Spin? Have you ever tried resistance training?
You can’t say you don’t like something until you have given it a fair chance. Who knows, you may fi nd a new niche that will keep you motivated to work harder than ever, and the results to prove it!
Keeping your fi t-ness program fresh is benefi cial not only to your body but it also provides a new avenue to show some creativity; your body and mind will thank you.
