daughter spent her snow days reading a book. That might not sound like a big deal, but to Na-gel, it’s almost miraculous because reading has been an ordeal for her daughter, who has an undiagnosed learning disability. Nagel says her daughter’s teacher has been very helpful, but the school system has not. So she started looking for solu-tions on her own.

Almost by accident, she found a critically acclaimed series of books co-written by actor Henry Winkler and the Yale Center for Dyslexia & Creativity for and about dyslexic kids – who knew the Fonz has a master’s degree from Yale, and dyslexia?

As of last week, Nagel’s daugh-ter is halfway through a book

around the page.Nagel says her daughter has

fi nally found joy in reading, no thanks to Knox County Schools.

Knox County Schools director of Student Support Services Me-lissa Massie said she cannot com-ment on Nagel’s daughter’s situa-tion and is not familiar with the Winkler books.

“But we have a number of in-terventions that look at multi-sensory approaches (for learning disabilities),” Massie said.

Back in December, Nagel, who is PTA president at Amherst El-ementary School, fought back tears as she stood at the lectern and told the school board how her youngest daughter is being affected by the 17 district-mandated tests she has to take during the school year. Once a happy child, she’s now anxious and

overwhelmed by her struggles with a yet-undiagnosed read ing disor-der, Nagel said.

“She hates school because she thinks she is stupid,” Nagel said, calling the K-2 Assessment (for-merly known as SAT 10) “a test that is set up for her to fail.”

She expressed frustration at what she sees as the school sys-tem’s infl exibility, And because of the diffi culties her child had as a 1st-grader, Nagel says she will not subject her to the K-2 Assessment again this year.

“My daughter has been strug-gling since kindergarten, saying there’s something wrong. She couldn’t get phonics, and that’s all they taught. I kept saying she needs more help, but they just

By Betsy PickleAmid all the discussion and

controversy over schools in Knox County, there’s one that gets As from everyone who’s been in-volved with it.

The Aviation Academy at Mc-Ghee Tyson Airport is an ac-claimed, groundbreaking endeav-or that has become a model for programs across the country. And it takes only fi ve days to graduate!

The Metropolitan Knoxville Airport Authority is accepting ap-plications through March 14 for the program, which runs on fi ve consecutive Wednesday evenings April 23 through May 21.

“This will be our third class,” says Becky Huckaby, the author-ity’s vice president of public rela-tions. “The Aviation Academy was created during the year the air-port was celebrating its 75th an-niversary.

“We were looking for ways to help bring the public in and inter-act with the facility, instead of just thinking of our building as a place where people come to take a trip or to rent a car or to pick someone up. We wanted people to know about the people who work here, about the signifi cant operations that go into keeping the facility open and also what kind of impact we have

Coffee Break

It can be your neighbor, club leader, bridge partner, boss, father, teacher – anyone

you think would be interesting to Farragut Shopper-News readers. Email sugges-

tions to Sherri Gardner Howell, gardners@tds.net. Include contact info if you can.

When Lauren Cox was in college, she took some classes in event planning and decided it wasn’t her cup of tea.

“I said I would never do it,” says Cox.So even she was a little surprised with the direction

her career took – she’s the special events and program coordinator in the town of Farragut’s Parks and Leisure Services Department – but it all makes sense now.

“I like planning the events, but I really like when we actually have the events because then I get contact with the public,” says Cox, who has been with the town for two and a half years. “I love people. I look forward to those days when I’m not in a cubicle, planning.”

She also loves her co-workers. “We have a really good group up here in the PALS Department.”

Her favorite event so far is Freaky Friday Fright Night.“I love the costumes and the cute kids who come

through,” she says. “It’s just a fun event. It has a lot of setup, and a lot of hard work goes into it before, and it’s just fun to see people enjoy something that you’ve worked really hard on.”

There’s only one downside to her job.“When I have to work on a weekend for events, there’s

a plus because I get to be at an event, and it’s always fun – but the time away from my new baby is really hard,” she says.

Her son, Mason, is 3 months old and her obsession.“He’s the greatest thing in the world,” says Cox. “He’s

really good at chewing on things right now. He’s teething early. He sleeps through the night. He’s slept through the night since fi ve weeks. That’s pretty impressive.”

She and her husband, Joshua, even take Mason with them on their regular Friday “date night” – to the Down-town Grill & Brewery.

“It sounds crazy, but we’ve taken Mason since he was 3 weeks old. It’s really loud, but he loves it, and he loves watching the people.”

The Coxes, who have been married three and a half years, are more into the outdoors, and they plan to give their son that experience, too.

“My husband and I love hiking,” she says. “We’ve only been to the mountains once since he was born. We plan on taking him hiking really soon, once it’s warm enough.”

One place they’re sure to take him is Charlie’s Bunion,

her favorite trail in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

“That’s also the trail where my husband proposed to me, so it has good memories. I think it’s one of the most beautiful views in the park.”

Cox grew up in Knoxville and graduated from South-Doyle High School. She attended Pellissippi State Com-munity College and then went to Middle Tennessee State University in Murfreesboro, where she earned a bach-elor’s in outdoor recreation.

She worked for the Pigeon Forge Parks and Recreation Department before being hired in Farragut. For several summers after graduating from high school, she worked at Camp Ba Yo Ca in Sevierville, fi rst as a counselor and then on the waterfront staff. (She and her husband had their wedding at the camp.)

The Coxes live in Fountain City to be close to his job – he’s the morning news director for WBIR and has to be at the station before dawn – but she loves working in Farragut.

“I’m really one for the trees and the natural beauty of things. I love that about Farragut. Our parks are really great in Farragut. They do a good job of keeping them up.”

In her free time, she enjoys making birthday cakes – for humans and dogs.

“I’ve gotten really good at making dog birthday cakes and dog birthday cookies,” she says.

She and her husband have a 7-year-old Lab and two basset-hound-mix dogs that are 4.

“They are my babies also. We love them.”Sit back and have a Coffee Break as you get to know

didn’t get to her. Up until six months ago, I thought the school system was doing the best they could for her. But I kept saying she needs more help, and they didn’t respond. Nearly one in fi ve children has some form of dyslexia. That’s roughly four kids in every class.”

Massie said KCS is vigi-lant about paying attention to young students who don’t make suffi cient progress.

“When we identify those students, we will begin in-tervention as early as kin-dergarten,” she said. “We may not have a label on it as formal as dyslexia, but we have identifi ed it.”

Meanwhile, Nagel said her daughter can’t sleep the night before the test, and cries and doesn’t want to go to school the next morning.

“She yells about little things and gets very stressed. She worries that she’ll get her teacher in trouble if she

messes up,” Nagel said.Although the K-2 Assess-

ment is not required by the state, KCS offi cials have told Nagel and other parents that they cannot opt their children out. Nagel says she has been given an unaccept-able alternative:

“I refuse to let her take the SAT 10 test, so I have to keep my healthy daughter home, just so she won’t have to take a test that will be harmful to her.”

KCS accountability offi cer Nakia Towns said that no one representing KCS tells parents to keep their chil-dren at home on test day.

“We don’t advise people to not send their children to school,” Towns said. “For every child that is in atten-dance, those are included as part in those assessments.”

In a Feb. 17 email ex-change with another parent who is considering opting her children out of the high-

stakes tests, supervisor of testing Laurie Driver ap-peared to hint that skipping school could be a way out of taking the tests.

“Although the SAT 10 is an optional state as-sessment, it is a required assessment in the Knox County Schools. Like TCAP and End of Course assess-ments, all students are ex-pected to participate. The only students who are ex-empt from required testing are those who are not pres-ent to take the assessment,” Driver said.

Meanwhile, Nagel says there’s one more option – a private evaluation, which comes with two signifi cant problems: expense and uncertainty about the re-sponse she’d get from KCS.

“My friend paid $350 to get an evaluation privately,” Nagel said. “It confi rmed dyslexia. I was told I could do the same thing, but it doesn’t guarantee they’d recognize the fi ndings. That’s when I gave up and said this is ridiculous.”

She says she’s thinking about spending the money on a lawyer.

eral public typically doesn’t get to go,” says Huckaby.

The program is targeted toward adults age 21 and older – and there is no up-per limit.

“This last class we had someone who was 85 years old.”

The fi rst two classes had members from eight counties throughout East Tennessee. Between 25 and 35 people will be accepted for the acad-emy – some of the areas vis-ited are cramped, and there are space limitations.

“Our class members are people who have a genuine interest in our facility, who are opinion leaders within their own groups who can help spread the word about what the airport’s doing and what impact it has on the community,” Huckaby says.

Participants have been surprised at “the size of the operation, how in-depth the programming goes here,” says Huckaby.

“People take for granted

that the airport is here, and they just come out and they get on a plane, and they go on their business trip or va-cation, and they get back, and they pick up their bag and they go home. They don’t think about what it takes to make the airport operate smoothly for them and all the other businesses that spring up in the area be-cause the airport is here.”

The fi ve weekly classes, running from 5:30-8:30 p.m., cover as much of the airport as possible, from its history to current opera-tions; airport security and public safety; cooperation with the military elements at the airport; general aviation and the Civil Air Patrol; and even the cargo facility and regional jet maintenance.

“We have cram-packed those fi ve nights,” says Huckaby. “You don’t sit still.”

Robert McGinnis, cura-tor of James White Fort and a local historian with a pas-sion for cemeteries, knows how to hold a crowd. As guest speaker at the Karns History Club on Feb. 18, McGinnis arrived carrying an unusual object wrapped in green felt.

He wouldn’t unwrap the parcel until the time was right. When he did, he un-veiled a partial headstone and began the story.

McGinnis said he found the stone in Mount Har-mony Cemetery in Hamblin County. After a great deal of research, he discovered it was the 156-year-old head-stone of Mary Sivley, wife of Absalom, who was buried in a cemetery in Kingsport some time in 1858.

When he called the ceme-tery offi ce to report his fi nd, the response created an even bigger mystery. They said: “Where did you fi nd her this time?”

Apparently Sivley’s headstone has a habit of migrating. It has disap-peared before and turned up in Madisonville. It was returned to Kingsport and disappeared again. No one knows where it travelled before McGinnis rescued it from the overgrown grave-yard in Hamblin County. He plans to return it to King-sport on his next trip.

McGinnis has spent the last 38 years crawling all over cemeteries in the East Tennessee area, making note of who was resting (or not resting) in peace. The historian and geneal-ogy buff has explored over 752 cemeteries, recording names, dates and locations. He’s published all this infor-mation in 50 books.

Nancy Anderson

Migrating headstone: A grave situation

McGinnis told the group that 25 family graveyards and small church cemeter-ies have disappeared over the last few years. Some were documented as having Civil War soldiers interred. Descendants sell off family land and fail to add a pro-tection clause to the deed to protect the graves. Many of the graves, rich in history, become buried themselves under brush and bushes, said McGinnis. Headstones are broken up and used to make stepping-stones and porches.

“It’s sad,” said McGinnis. “We don’t respect our dead like we used to. People with dollar signs in their eyes are destroying our history.”

■ Archer’s gets ‘mobbed’Archer’s BBQ at 7650

Oak Ridge Hwy. was the place to be Thursday after-noon. ORNL Federal Credit Union gave the fi rst 30 visi-tors a $20 gift certifi cate to enjoy a great meal on them.

It was part of ORNL’s twice-monthly Cash Mob, an effort to support small busineses. The credit union accepts nominations for who will be “mobbed.”

An owner can’t nomi-nate his own business, but a friend who works for the credit union or is a credit union member can make the nomination.

The Archer’s BBQ Cash Mob was a hungry one, and Archer Bagley and crew were working hard to keep up. They seemed to be having as much fun as the “mob.”

The oldest Democratic women’s club in America is throwing itself a party.

The UT Athletic Board is meeting behind closed doors after years of being open. The News Sentinel has gone to great lengths to criticize this change.

UT Athletic Board

goes silent

It is apparent that the university went to great lengths to ensure nothing comes out of the meeting that suggests remotely what is happening. No minutes are taken, and no reports are written. Clearly, they have had legal advice on how to avoid disclosure.

It leads to the ines-capable conclusion that there must be some heavy discussion going on inside the meeting room for UT to take the media hit for closed sessions with these instructions to board mem-bers and staff on how to stiff the media.

This may have been done without Gov. Bill Haslam’s knowledge or approval. However, he is chair of the board, and a simple word from him to Chancellor Cheek would end this. The board itself, which operates in public, could end it.

We should all remember that the UT board must meet in public to choose a UT president. Why should the Athletic Board be dif-ferent? UT would not be going to so much trouble to keep it all quiet if there was not something worth hiding. The Athletic Board operated well for many years in public. Why the sudden need to go silent?

■ UT President Joseph DePietro is expected to appoint an in-ternal committee to review the status of the historic Eugenia Williams house on Lyons View Pike. This house was acquired several presidents ago and has lan-guished and deteriorated.

The committee will look at the basic ques-tion of what to do with the Staub-designed house and where UT goes from here. One hopes a sensible use can be found. This needs to be resolved since UT has only been embarrassed by it to date while this historic home simply falls down in front of us.

■ Don’t hold your breath, but TVA might consider opening its com-mittee meetings to the public. That is where all its

real work occurs. Recently the regional advisory com-mittee that TVA named listed open committee meetings as one of its recommendations to the full board (now short one member). TVA has dis-cussed this in the past but opted to keep them closed every time. Current board chair Bill Sansom has op-posed going open.

Given that it is TVA’s own advisory group that has pushed this, TVA will have to respond in some way. It cannot be dis-missed. Within the group, the effort to highlight this was led by Anne Davis, head of the Tennessee Offi ce of the Southern En-vironmental Law Institute and wife of Nashville Mayor Karl Dean, and Steve Smith of the Clean Energy group here in Knoxville.

Supporting them was Gov. Haslam’s appointee on the group, Susan Rich-ardson Williams. She is a former TVA board member who unsuccessfully sup-ported open meetings along with former TVA chair Mike Duncan when she served on the board.

■ Almost fi ve years ago in 2009, Knoxvillian Troy Whiteside, who has been active in local politics, was accused of murder. The trial still has not been held. Knox County District Attor-ney General Randy Nichols recused himself early in the process, and it was transferred to DA Berkeley Bell of Greeneville. One of his assistants is actually handling the case.

It is now scheduled for trial on April 21 with Judge Mary Beth Leibowitz (who is retiring Sept. 1) to hear it. It is a fi rst-degree murder case with prominent attor-ney Greg Isaacs represent-ing Whiteside.

The DA expects it to go to trial. The judicial system has worked very slowly in this case.

Mayor Rogero will not present two budgets to City Council as previously stated in this column, but she has asked department heads to present two budgets to her prior to her single budget going to council on April 24. One will have 6 percent cuts in her internal budget hearings, which are open to the public. The 6 percent cuts are usually designed to alarm citizens into support-ing a tax increase.

Dem women prepare to party

The Knox County Demo-cratic Women’s Club, estab-lished March 28, 1928, will celebrate its 85th anniver-sary 6:30 Saturday, March 8, at the Southern Depot, in conjunction with Women’s History Month. The public is invited and descendants of charter members will be there. There will be music, heavy hors d’oeuvres and a cash bar. It’s not a costume party, but period attire will be welcome.

Club president Kathy Manning says the event will be more of a celebra-tion of the historical con-tributions of Knoxville women than a political event. Tickets are $40.

A bronze statue of club

founder Lucy Graham Cro-zier’s sister Lizzie Crozier French stands on Market Square, commemorating the feminists who worked for women’s suffrage.

The Croziers, both edu-cators, were smart, fear-less and deeply involved in the political fight that made Tennessee the cru-cial 36th state to ratify the 19th Amendment, which gave women the right to vote in 1920.

They had three other sis-ters, Mary, Anna and Cor-nelia, all described in Cor-nelia’s obituary as “women of dominance and individ-uality.” The Crozier home, said to house the fi nest private library in the area, stood on the corner of Gay Street and Clinch Avenue now occupied by the former Farragut Hotel. Lucy was born there in 1856. Her fa-ther, attorney John Hervey Crozier, a two-term mem-ber of Congress, sided with the Confederacy during the Civil War and retired from

politics soon thereafter.Kathy Manning’s grand-

mother Mary Vance Man-ning and great-aunt Ann Manning were founding members of the Democratic Women’s Club. She found Lucy Crozier’s obituaries, dated Nov. 30, 1930. One praises her “unquenchable spirit and great heart.” An-other begins like this: “A brave and earnest soul pass-es in the death of Lucy Gra-ham Crozier. An extremist she was, of course. But she was always sincere and of-ten brilliant.”

Kathy Manning never knew her grandmother, but her aunt spent her last years living with her, and Man-ning says she wishes she’d asked more questions. Since the club’s purpose was to educate women as new vot-ers and encourage them to become involved in poli-tics, and it was chartered the year that Democrat Al Smith, the fi rst Catholic to run for president, took on Republican Herbert Hoover,

Manning believes her Cath-olic grandmother and aunt were probably involved in that campaign. She wishes she knew more about them.

“My aunt was a World War II veteran and served with the Army Nurse Corps. Lat-er, she was a public-health nurse for the city of Knox-ville. I’ve since realized, ‘Gee, I should have asked her all those questions.’ Havi ng the oldest club in the country is something we can all take pride in.”

Knox County Democrat-ic Women’s Club charter members:

Lucy Crozier, Mary Cro-zier, Mrs. J.C. Guinn, Mrs. Frank Haur, Mrs. Sarah Henry Hood, Mrs. J.B. Shinliver, Miss Emma Pate, Mrs. Joe McMillan, Mrs. E.T. Beach, Miss May Le-land (Marshall), Mrs. Sam Heiskell, Mrs. J.C. Renfro, Mrs. Herman Schenk Jr., Mrs. Ida Reynolds Lonas, Mrs. Bannister Wilkes, Mrs. J.J. Manning and Miss Ann Manning.

Solutions in search of problems

JakeMabe

“Well, we didn’t give you much to work with today,” Tony Norman said after County Commission’s work session last week.

I just grinned.The meeting was, well,

weird.Discussion over R. Larry

Smith’s resolution affi rming commission’s support of the End of Forced Annexation in Tennessee Act was down-right contentious.

Andy Andrew, who has been fi ghting annexation nearly as long as I’ve been alive, evoked everything from rugged individualism to the Bill of Rights.

“This is an opportunity to solve a problem that has bothered Knox County as long as I’ve been here,” he said.

Amy Broyles said this resolution is “a solution in search of a problem.”

(I looked around for Stac-ey Campfi eld. But I digress.)

Broyles said the city of Knoxville is not allowed to annex outside the Urban Growth Boundary (UGB), and those who live within it know annexation can happen.

Smith called Sheriff Jim-my “J.J.” Jones, who was trying to get the heck out of Dodge (long day – his de-partment lost the beloved Roger Wilson last week), to the lectern. Jones agreed that fi nger annexation has caused a problem over law-enforcement jurisdiction.

“We’ve already had this conversation,” Sam Mc-Kenzie said, adding that the

process is working.“That’s because there’s

been a moratorium on an-nexation,” Smith said.

“There’s not been a mora-torium,” McKenzie said. “That ended in 2008. This is 2014. This was an issue with one city mayor a long time ago.”

(Paging Victor Ashe.)“We know what our cul-

ture is in Knox County. We’re pro-property rights. I’m voting against this be-cause I think we’re already doing this.”

Dave Wright hit his light.“Well, if there’s no prob-

lem, Commissioner Mc-Kenzie, if it’s moot, then it would be OK for the state to pass it.”

Wright is upset about fi nger annexation on Miller-town Pike.

“There’s an excellent de-velopment at the end of Mil-lertown Pike, but it’s still just a (small) road leading up to it. The suggestion that we had the conversation in 2001 … doesn’t mean we can’t have another discus-sion before it becomes a problem in search of an an-swer.”

(I looked around for Stac-ey Campfi eld. But I digress.)

“If we want to change

this, let it be homegrown,” McKenzie said. “I don’t want the state telling us what to do.”

(The Republican in me smiled.)

“All we are doing, com-missioners, is letting Nash-ville know where we stand,” Smith said. “I bet less than 3 percent of homeowners know if they live in the (UGB).”

Broyles is sponsoring amendments to ordinances ensuring that county em-ployees are protected when speaking out against em-ployers without risk of ter-mination. She cites both teachers who have spoken up recently and county em-ployees who want to cam-paign for someone other than their bosses.

“I’m going to use Com-missioner Broyles’ earlier words against her. This is a solution waiting on a prob-lem,” McKenzie said.

(I looked around for Stac-ey Campfi eld. But I digress.)

Rick Briggs said free speech in this case needs limits. “Tennessee is an at-work employer state,” he said, adding that he wouldn’t be in favor of something that would protect an employee who spoke maliciously, giv-ing the county no resource to stop it.

Broyles said the amend-ments would include all departments and elected of-fi ces and would not protect slander and libel.

Chief deputy law direc-tor David Buuck said the only process in place now is a lengthy, costly battle in

federal court.“This brings it to the lo-

cal level,” Broyles said. “And the mayor (Tim Burchett) said he is for this, so I don’t want you to miss an oppor-tunity to vote for something that he and I are both in fa-vor of …”

(Maniacal laughter.)“Retribution occurs,”

Norman said, referring to teachers. “There are a vari-ety of ways to do that. This might help the teachers and their position.”

McKenzie mused and changed his position,saying he felt more com-fortable that the county wouldn’t have to defend slander or libel. Briggs was the lone “no” vote.

Finally, Barry Hawkins, who is running for Knox County trustee, took ex-ception to Wright adding a discussion item based on a News Sentinel report about his allegedly getting $3,000 that he allegedly wasn’t owed as a former county employee, adding it is a political tactic timed to help his opponent.

Wright said his feelings were hurt at such a charge, “but I’m a sitting commis-sioner and I have no feelings.”

I have to disagree with you, Tony, my friend. Y’all gave me plenty with which to work. For that, I thank you.

Commission will hold its regular meeting at 1:45 p.m. today (Monday, Feb. 24) in the Main Assembly Room of the City County Building. “Pull Up A Chair” with Jake Mabe at jake

McCroskey.One of Williams’ sugges-

tions has been to digitize the method by which the county p e r f o r m s monthly p-card audits. C u r rent ly, that process is manual.

“ W i t h t e c h n o l -

ogy, you can do queries and push a button. (Manually), it is time intensive and less consistent than a database process.”

Last month, commission discussed at length whether Williams should be present for the entirety of its meet-ings like the county law di-

rector. Williams says the consensus was that she use her discretion on when to be present.

Other goals for her fi rst year include getting the day-to-day operations of run-ning her offi ce in order and making sure every county department knows she has an open-door policy.

“We want to maintain our independence, but that doesn’t mean we’re isolated. We’re all on the same team, working for the people of Knox County.”

Williams was born in Michigan and lived all over the Southeast as a child. She earned a bachelor’s de-gree in accounting and a master’s in accounting with a concentration in taxa-

tion from UT. Her fi rst job was working in the Inspec-tor General’s offi ce and the compliance offi ce at TVA.

She says the best part of her job is getting to solve problems.

“You get the bigger pic-ture, not just the transac-tional details. And you can provide information that can improve something. I like learning. Every audit is a new experience.”

And that also means pointing out both the good and the bad.

“When you’re an auditor, people don’t always want to see you. But I haven’t gotten that feeling here. We want to point out both ways the county can improve and the things they are doing well.”

You’d expect an internal auditor to run a lean, mean operation, and new county auditor Andrea Williams is no exception. Her offi ce has a staff of three – herself, an-other auditor and an admin-istrative assistant who does everything from some audit work to checking grammar.

Williams, who came to Knox County from TVA, started work Dec. 16. She said the timing was perfect, with the laid-back holiday season allowing her to work her way through a massive amount of reading material.

She’s now working on a risk assessment for fi scal

year 2015.“We’re looking at which

areas add the most value,” Williams said, “so we can evaluate not just the fi nan-cial risk, but the reputation-al risk and public safety. We should be fi nished around June.”

Her offi ce also performs

some request work, if the county Audit Committee or County Commission re-quests an audit, or performs reviews on the back end of an external audit. All of her work has to be approved by the Audit Committee.

In January, County Com-mission requested a proce-dural review of the crimi-nal-justice system.

“That includes every-thing, from the time a per-son enters the system to the time they complete it. It in-volves multiple players and processes,” she said, not just the offi ce of embattled Criminal Court Clerk Joy

Showing the love

No doubt you are delight-ed, perhaps even bubbling over, with the coming of spring sports at the Univer-sity of Tennessee.

What, you hadn’t even thought of Volunteer track, baseball, tennis or golf?

These are the fun and games funded by football and donations. Please mark your calendar. Enjoy.

I didn’t throw softball into that group. It is a big winner and often draws a crowd. Ellen Renfroe is re-ally good.

Baseball, we are told, will be better this year, weather permitting.

Dave Serrano, baseball coach ($450,000 salary), is not promising champion-ships just yet, but he does foresee signifi cant improve-ment. That was the plan all along for year three.

It appears he has re-cruited well. He expects the rewards of growth and development. He thinks he has much better pitching. He believes the Vols will be-come relevant in the SEC.

That is very good news, a giant jump if it happens. The team was 8-20 last season, last in the Eastern Division, totally irrelevant. From mid-April until the bitter end, Serrano’s Vols won three league games. Other highlights were two rainouts.

Pitching, you ask? An-drew Lee is thought to be re-covered from Tommy John surgery. Kyle Serrano, the coach’s son, chose college over the Colorado Rockies. Bless him.

First baseman Scott Price can hit.

“Probably the best hitter in the SEC,” says the coach.

Third baseman Will Maddox takes the game very seriously. Tough guy.

Dirt on uniform. The old-fashioned description was “hard-nosed.”

Pro scouts will probably make notes about sopho-more shortstop A.J. Simcox.

Team characteristics? Better defense, lots more scoring punch. Coach says he can now compare talent with rivals without feeling handicapped.

If there are positive de-velopments in track, they remain hidden. Old Vols send emails, trying to con-vince me that a coaching change is necessary. I have reserved comment. Ath-letic director Dave Hart is on his own in this case. He gets paid most of a million to make such weighty deci-sions.

Tennis is not really a spring sport. It goes on 10 months a year. For me, it is more fun on a balmy April afternoon.

The Vols are nationally ranked. They have strong leadership with teaching skills. Sam Winterbotham was 2013 national coach of

the year. Chris Woodruff is another head coach in asso-ciate disguise. Ben Tester-man is volunteer assistant. Wow!

Winterbotham, a native of Stoke on Trent, England, has the proper recruiting phone numbers – Austra-lia, Estonia, Latvia, Poland, Webb School.

Tennessee golf, much like cross-country, is for the participants who take pride in their sport and can press on without the cheering multitudes.

It is OK if you skip some matches. You do need to know about the Mack and Jonnie Day practice facility along the Tennessee River. It is big league. It should be. The grassy patch cost $4.5 million.

Phase 2 of this project, the Furrow-Blackburn club-house, will be special, too.

If you are into spring football, there is one date to circle. The Orange and White game is scheduled for April 12 at Neyland Sta-dium.

The dreary days of Feb-ruary – or the frequently heard complaints about them – traditionally make this time of year a letdown from the gaiety of the previ-ous holiday season.

Well, there’s nothing like a road trip to buoy the spir-its. East Tennesseans are lucky to have diverse and affordable options nearby. Parks – from the Smokies to Big South Fork to Concord Park right here in town – offer hiking on much-less-crowded-than-in-spring-time trails. If you’re in a more urban frame of mind, Nashville and Atlanta are within a few hours’ drive.

This past weekend I was in the mood for a treasure hunt. So I grabbed my best girlfriend and headed for Asheville.

There’s nothing more fun for us than picking through antique malls and second-hand stores. Knoxville has some fi ne ones – Dutch Val-ley Antique Mall is one of our favorites, and we’re big fans of KARM and Good-will. But for a change of pace and some beautiful scenery, you can’t beat Asheville.

Swannanoa River Road boasts several large collec-tives. We saw some excep-tional mid-century furni-ture at The Local. The price tags weren’t slight, but this was quality stuff in beauti-ful condition. Owners Chad and Morgan Baker travel a lot and say of their extraor-dinary inventory, “we really work for it!” Other stores in the same location are Odd-fellows, Nostalgique and Bryant Antiques.

Right next door, we found the Tobacco Barn. Its 70,000 square feet of space is crammed with booths. The big barn doors were wide open on either end, which, in the 30-degree windy weather, meant some brrrrrrowsing! But we good-natured “pickers” bundled up in our parkas and made the best of it. Some folks even brought their dogs in!

We mostly just look. You know how it is. I’m big on metal lawn furniture and jelly glasses; my friend is obsessed with mid-century lighting fi xtures and divider screens. But our rule is, “It has to be absolutely perfect in every way.”

Antiques offers 31,000 square feet of just about anything you can think of. I found a beautiful silver bed-side tray from the 103-year-old Taft Hotel in New Ha-ven, Conn. It provides a touchstone to history for me every morning when I reach for my eyeglasses case.

Our last stop was Lex-ington Park Antiques in downtown Asheville. Laby-rinthine and seemingly end-less, it features gorgeous estate jewelry, vintage cloth-ing, movie memorabilia and fi ne used leather goods. Other Asheville landmarks are within walking distance. We love Tops for Shoes – 30,000 square feet of qual-ity footwear and accessories on three levels – and Mala-prop’s Bookstore, where a cup of hot chocolate awaits, along with every book you’d ever want to read.

It’s a good time of year to get hotel rooms at lower rates, and we chose the Brookstone Lodge. Built only fi ve years ago, it has the atmosphere of a much older place. There’s a cozy lobby with fi replace and a com-plimentary 24-hour coffee bar. The rooms have large fl at-screen TVs, wireless internet, microwaves and refrigerators, cozy beds and mountain views. A compli-mentary hot breakfast is served each morning.

But the main reason we chose the Brookstone Lodge in the middle of February? The indoor pool and spa.

Right now the hotel is in the middle of a renovation from water damage caused by a burst pipe during last month’s extreme cold, but the only evidence we saw was the temporary carpet-ing in the hall. Info: http://brookstonelodgeasheville.com/.

Stores mentioned here are open year-round. Visit www.romanticasheville.com/an-tiques.htm to fi nd out more. And bring your parka!

Toni Morrison’s searing and grace-fi lled book “Be-loved” won the Pulitzer Prize in 1988. Don’t ask me why I am just now reading it. May-be it’s because I wasn’t ready.

It is not a book for the faint of heart. It is about the after-math of slavery and the long shadows that horror draped across a young nation. It is, quite simply, stunning, heart-breaking and haunting.

In a tale fi lled with truths I have read about only in history books, Morrison’s words about kneading bread struck a chord with me. There was something I could relate to!

I have been baking bread for more than four decades, and every batch is a little miracle of grace. Not to say – far from it – that every loaf of bread was perfect. It takes a while to get the hang of making bread, and then, if one is daring enough to try a different kind of loaf, or work at a different alti-tude, or bake on a rainy day, all bets are off.

Yeast is a living thing and seems to have a tempera-ment. It can’t be hurried, or overheated, or too cold.

But it is the handling of the dough, the kneading of it, the shaping of it that makes the magic work, and at the same time affords such pleasure to the baker.

However, Morrison’s “beating back the past”? That is harder still.

Admit it. There are things in the past that haunt you. That worry, and nag at and grieve you. It is part of

Beating back

the pastNow a new king arose over Egypt, who did not

know Joseph. … Therefore they set taskmasters over them to oppress them with forced labor.

(Exodus 1:8, 11 NRSV)

Working dough. Working, working dough. Noth-ing better than that to start the day’s serious work of beating back the past.

(“Beloved,” Toni Morrison)

the human condition, this memory of pain or failure or regret or sin.

We may not be enslaved by chains or by those who claim to own us. But slavery still exists in today’s world. It lives in those who live with terrible memories of pain and suffering. It thrives in those who will not, cannot forgive or forget the wrongs done to them. It continues in those who are addicted – to anything! (A good friend made an unforgettable state-ment to me many years ago. She said, “Satan is alive and well in Knoxville, and his name is Crack Cocaine!”)

So, how do we throw off the chains and beat back the past?

William Faulkner, who knew something about the South, famously said, “The past isn’t over. It isn’t even past!”

Forgiveness is key, I be-lieve. Forgetfulness is also helpful.

I can’t remember where I fi rst heard the 10 words that will lead to freedom. But I believe they are true and life-giving. Write them down. Keep them where you can read them when you need to. Remember them.

They are, “Give it up, let it go, and set it free.”

By Wendy SmithThe Living Fully seminar

at Central Baptist Church of Bearden, 6300 Deane Hill Drive, is the largest out-reach effort of the congrega-tion’s new Life Long Learn-ing Team. The free event is open to the public.

Subjects include Liv-ing with Awareness, Liv-ing with Purpose, Living with Connection and Living with Wellness. The two-day seminar is 6 to 8:30 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 28, and 8:30 a.m. to noon on Saturday, March 1.

While the event is sure to draw seniors, it’s open to all adult learners, says Cen-tral Baptist Bearden Senior Adult Minister Jim Henry.

The class that has created the most buzz is in the Living with Connection category –

Getting to Know Your iPad. “Grandparents, espe-

cially, are having to step it up a notch to keep up with their kids and grandkids,” Henry says.

He’s excited about the scope of the Living with Wellness classes. Knox County Health Depart-ment Nutritionist Su-san Fowlkes will discuss healthy eating, and Stan and Phyllis Miller, who both attended culinary school, will share cooking techniques. Doug Sparks, a church member who is an engineer by trade, will teach classes on square foot gardening.

Henry looks forward to further offerings from the Life Long Learning Team, which is composed of cur-rent and former educators.

By Sherri Gardner HowellValentine’s Day was a

musical night of romance for fans of Jason Crabb, a Gospel Music Association Dove Award winner.

The 2012 Male Vocal-ist of the Year and Artist of the Year brought his show to Knoxville Christian Cen-ter and played to a packed house.

The room may have been fi lled with more than 850 concert-goers, but there were some personal mo-ments befi tting the day. Crabb’s message, in speech and song, encouraged cou-ples to keep romance alive and build a strong, loving marriage.

“Be sweethearts,” he told the crowd.

To add to the romance, Crabb had the men in the room stand and address their partners with the words to Joe Cocker’s hit “You Are So Beautiful.” The women were asked to re-spond by looking into their partner’s eyes and crooning, “You’re everything I hoped for, everything I need,” completing the Cocker love song.

Crabb brings his music to Knoxville Christian Center every Valentine’s Day. The concert ticket price, $19 per person, included dinner be-fore the show.

Stephanie Reece, merchandise coordinator for the show, gives Paula Snyder a closer look at a stuff ed version of the tour mascot.

Ponytails More than 30 students

and a few parents and sib-lings simultaneously had their hair cut off last week during St. John Neumann Catholic School’s 3rd an-nual Ponytail Drive.

The event helps collect healthy human hair for Pantene Beautiful Lengths, a charity started by Pantene and the American Cancer Society to create wigs for cancer patients across the country.

SJNCS reading coach Michelle Dougherty was ringleader for the event and helped herd the partici-pants into the library where their hair was banded into braided ponytails by volun-teer stylists from R&Co.

After being banded and braided, the group met in the gym where a parent, grandparent or other spe-cial person waited with scissors to shear off said po-nytails.

Although the event had a lighthearted feel, many cried when Dougherty talk-ed about a few donors who weren’t present.

Dougherty’s sister sent a surprise package of her own ponytail since Dougherty’s hair was still too short from a previous year’s event to cut again. And the mother of two students at SJNCS, who had just fi nished tak-ing chemotherapy the day before the event, brought in her own ponytail which she had cut off several months ago when she was told she would lose her hair.

“This is so rewarding to see these little girls like this, so excited to cut their hair,” said Dougherty. “Little girls love their long hair.” Info: www.beautifullengths.com.

of Knoxville’s 3rd graders fi lled their classrooms with eccentric homemade Val-entine delivery systems for a lesson on inventions and simple machines. The event was originally scheduled for Valentine’s Day, but snow forced rescheduling.

Each student’s delivery system had to include three simple machines such as a pulley, lever or inclined

plane. The inventions deliv-ered one piece of chocolate at a time, and additional parts included everything from a roll of toilet paper to a Matchbox car and even an alligator’s head.

That’s right. McKenzie Burkhalter used the head of an alligator to add special effects to her machine. “I wanted the teeth to make it look like (the alligator) was eating the chocolate,” said McKenzie.

Other students toured the classrooms and tested the machines. By the end of the presentations everyone had enjoyed more than their fair share of chocolate.

“This is the most bizarre cocktail of two assignments I’ve ever seen in my life, but it works,” said the school’s chaplain, Josh Hill. A mix of Valentine’s Day and simple machines would be enough to make anyone crave some sugar.

‘Life Changing’ SurgeryCorrects Woman’s Severe Acid Refl ux

hiatal hernia. It successfully resolves symp-toms in more than 80% of people.

“I was ner-vous about surgery, but Dr. Harrell is a wonder-ful person and has done sur-gery on several members of our family, so I knew I was in good hands,” says Wood.

Wood, who underwent the surgery in December, was vigilant about being a perfect pa-tient. “The biggest thing is following the doctor’s instructions after surgery and only eating liquids and soft foods for several weeks. It’s hard, but you can do it, and it’s worth it.”

After healing for several weeks, Wood is thrilled with the result. “I’m off the medicines, I feel fortunate – the surgery was wonderful for me.”

Wood hopes others with severe GERD will also learn about their sur-gical options. “I tell people it’s a “no- brainer.” If you’ve dealt with these symptoms, it’s a life changing surgery. There is help – you don’t have to suffer.”

Jamie Wood, pictured during ZUMBA class, is active and feeling great following surgery for severe GERD.

Jamie Wood is eager to explain her life before and after surgery. “I ate Tums like kids eats candy,” she says. “I took medicine morning and night. I slept sitting straight up for years.”

Wood says since undergoing surgery to treat severe gastroesophageal refl ux disease (GERD), things are very differ-ent.

“I can eat anything I want now. I’m sleeping at night and I don’t have to schedule everything around eating and taking medicine,” she explains. “This surgery has made a big difference in my life.”

Wood suffered for years from a hia-tal hernia that caused stomach acid to backfl ow into her esophagus. When medication didn’t control the condition, she underwent esophageal dilation, a procedure to stretch a narrowed area of the esophagus.

“I had my esophagus stretched two or three times,” says Wood. “But, it only helped temporarily. Before long I’d feel like I was going to choke whenever I ate.”

Wood’s niece, who is a physician assistant with Premier Surgical As-sociates, told her about a procedure called Nissen fundoplication. During fundoplication surgery the upper stom-ach is wrapped around the esophagus

and sewn into place, strengthening the valve between the esophagus and stom-ach.

“I didn’t know there was a surgery that could help me,” says Wood. “My niece made me promise to make an appoint-ment.”

Wood met with Dr. David Harrell of Premier Surgical Associates, who discovered that her hiatal hernia was more severe than expected. Dr. Har-rell explained that laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication is the standard surgi-cal treatment for severe GERD and

Business and Bonnaroo:Launch Tennessee CEO leverages connection

By Sherri Gardner HowellHow do you get Silicon

Valley techies and West coast entrepreneurs to spend a few days in Ten-nessee so you can pump up what the region has to offer businesses?

Package the conference with country music and Bonnaroo.

This type of creative thinking to introduce en-trepreneurial businesses to Tennessee is just part of what Launch Tennes-see is all about, CEO and president Charlie Brock told members of the Rotary Club of Knoxville on Feb. 18 at the Knoxville Marriott.

Launch Tennessee is a public-private partnership partly funded by a grant from the state. The mission is to develop, launch and support high-growth com-panies in Tennessee.

Brock took Rotary mem-bers through the four key areas of Launch Tennessee: entrepreneurship, commer-

cialization, capital forma-tion and outreach.

The music connection was part of Southland, a Nashville area conference that debuted in June last year.

“How do you convince Silicon Valley techies to come to Tennessee when they believe they’ve got all they could ever want right where they are?” Brock

asked the audience.“They say, ‘We’re here, in

Silicon Valley.’ Offer them tickets to Bonnaroo and a backstage experi-ence at the Grand Ole Opry, and they book their plane tickets.”

Last year’s South-land attracted more than 500 participants for the two days of speakers and workshops, including PandoDaily’s Sarah Lacy.

PandoDaily, a web-based publication that fo-cuses on technology, analy-sis and the Silicon Valley, was so intrigued that they are a sponsor of this year’s Southland, Brock said.

Speakers for the June 2014 Southland recently announced include former Vice President Al Gore, PayPal president David Marcus and Evernote CEO Phil Libin.

Brock has some good numbers to report for Launch Tennessee. “In 2013 in the capital forma-

tion area, the INCITE Co-investment fi rm investedapproximately $11 millionacross 27 deals,” said Brock.

“The Venture Match pro-gram that pairs entrepre-neurs, academics and inves-tors in the different areasaround the state had eight

matches. Nine regionalentrepreneurial ac-celerators have beencreated to provideentrepreneurs with

mentors and train-ing.”

Brock has been CEO ofLaunch Tennessee sinceJanuary 2013.

Previously, he helped es-tablish Foxmark Media andgrew the company into oneof the nation’s largest malladvertising companiesbefore selling it in 2006to the Australia-basedEYE Corp. He then helpedlaunch FourBridges CapitalAdvisors, a lower-middlemarket investment bank inChattanooga.

Unity gets new owner

with familiar nameBy Sandra Clark

In our quest to discover “where the jobs are,” we found a homegrown busi-ness that has provided jobs along with compassionate community service for 35 years. We also found an in-d o m i t a b l e woman with an inspiring story. Come along.

In 1979, a young man com-pleted his doctoral course-work in Risk and Insurance from The Wharton School of Business in Pennsylva-nia. A graduate of Harvard University, he moved to At-lanta and started a compa-ny that now conducts more than 125 comprehensive ASOP#3 actuarial studies each year. The fi rm devel-ops comparative bench-marks for key actuarial, demographic and operat-ing statistics. It’s developed software for the profession and propelled the found-er to several high-profi le boards and consulting con-tracts worldwide.

Also in 1979, three friends launched Unity Mortuary on McCalla Ave-nue in East Knoxville. They hired an African-American architect (the Rev. Dewitt Dykes) and contractor (Fe-lix Gaiter), kept the jobs community-based and built a solid business over time. Their aging brought transi-tion to the business. Could it survive? Up stepped a new owner, the Wharton- and Harvard-educated ac-tuary from Atlanta.

Why?Meet Unity’s board chair

Dr. L.C. Powell, retired

principal, widow of City Council member Bill Powell and mother of A.V. Powell, the mortuary’s new owner. “It’s my fourth career,” she says with a smile.

Dr. Powell is an East Knox legend, having served as principal

of Green El-ementary for almost 30 years before retiring in

2001. She continues to live in the neigh-

borhood, near Beck Cultural Center. “I’ve got a grown son, three granddaughters and lots of others who call me momma,” she says.

Powell never meant to work at a mortuary in re-tirement, but she says the work has helped her fill a void since the death of her husband in 2009. “I’m here 24/7,” she said. “Most of our clients are those I’ve taught.” So she’s got a job that enables her to keep in touch with the people she loves.

Powell is an easy in-terview. We didn’t ask a question until 20 minutes in. But it was later, after a tour of the facility, that she revealed personal details that left this writer in chills. “Lula,” as she was called growing up, was one of fi ve kids. Her dad was a minis-ter who often was paid “in-kind,” and her mom worked as a maid, earning 50 cents a week. Work was a way of life for the Cooper family.

With just six in her graduating class, the prin-cipal asked each girl what she planned to do. “Two of us went to college,” Pow-ell says. “There were no scholarships or government

loans. I worked doing clean-up, babysitting, whatever I could fi nd.”

She graduated from Knoxville College in 1952, having earned that degree with “determination.” She went to the University of Tennessee for a master’s, education specialist degree and doctorate. “People asked me if that doctorate is hon-orary,” she says. “No, those degrees are all earned.”

Powell’s fi rst job was as a traveling substitute teacher in segregated schools in Knox and surrounding coun-ties. In 1959 she was hired by the Knoxville City Schools and opened libraries at May-nard, Sam E. Hill and East-port schools. She had help from moms in Sequoyah Hills who volunteered to shelf books. She continued her education while teaching fourth and fi fth grades. In 1960 she became principal at Green Elementary.

After the systems merged, Powell worked for Knox County Schools. She em-braced Green’s conversion to a magnet school, telling her students, “Now children from all over the county are going to come here.”

Powell encouraged her students to dress up and at-tend ballet, thanks to efforts by KCS supervisor Lynn Miller. She encouraged her teachers to aspire to become principals. She mentored young principals, and she taught evenings as an ad-junct at Knoxville College.

“Our children are not born with resources,” she said. And Green often got newly minted teachers, straight out of school. Pow-ell would put them on a bus and drive through neigh-

L.C. Powell, board chair; and James Hawkins. Photo by S. Clark

borhoods so each could see where their children lived. She organized report card nights in neighborhoods including Austin Homes. Powell marched in with teachers and a police offi cer to put report cards directly in the hands of parents.

“My Fridays extended to Saturdays,” she said, as students would knock on her door. “Does your mom-ma know you’re here?” she would ask. “No,” the kids would usually say. “Well, come on in,” she answered. She and Bill built a big playroom downstairs. She would feed the kids lunch and drive them home.

How did she get her son through Harvard?

“We had to pay, but he had to (have the grades to) get in,” she says. “We taught our children, ‘You can do anything.’ I have never ac-cepted ‘No.’”

Alwyn “A.V.” Powell went through public schools at Mountain View and Vine

Middle, then in the 7th grade the Powells realized he needed more. Research turned up a prep school in Boca Raton, Fla., which Al-wyn and three other boys integrated. “All we thought about was the education. He led the class for three years and came out of there and went to Harvard.”

She recites the family motto (that worked for her granddaughters as well): “You will not stop (school).”

“I came up the hard way. My parents said I could go to college, but I’d have to work for it. We loved each other and we knew who we were.”

Unity MortuaryWow. It’s now quite clear

why A.V. Powell bought Uni-ty Mortuary. Would y ou tell Dr. L.C. Powell no?

The staff at Unity Mortu-ary includes Brandon Wil-lis, manager and chief oper-ating offi cer. He’s a licensed embalmer, funeral director and notary public. George

Tolbert is chief technology offi cer with more than 20 years as a bereavement co-ordinator. Bessie Jackson is the secretary and James Hawkins handles details.

The custom-built cha-pel contains stained glass throughout, including an awesome 23rd Psalm in glass. Clients are memorial-ized on the walls by year, and each December a reception is held to honor those who have used the services of Unity.

Founders were William V. Powell, Jefferson Davis and Bryant Keese. Mr. Powell was the fi rst African-Amer-ican social services direc-tor for KCDC. He served on Knoxville City Council from 1990-98 and passed away in 2009. Mr. Davis was a re-tired captain with the Knox-ville Police Department and a U.S. Army veteran. He passed away in 2012.

Unity Mortuary is located at 1425 McCalla Avenue. Info: 637-8811 or www.unitymortuary.com/.

p gg p ggpp gg pp gHardin Valley Farm Bureau

By Wendy SmithThe University of Ten-

nessee’s $23.1 million, fi ve-story, 110,000-square-foot John D. Tickle Engineering Building offers state-of-the-art laboratories, classrooms and offi ce space for the de-partments of civil, environ-mental, industrial and sys-tems engineering.

The modern structure, built with an eye to the fu-ture, is in sharp contrast with its predecessors. When construction on the site across Neyland Drive from the UT Boathouse began in 2009, each layer of dirt pulled back revealed the site’s history, says Duane Grieve. His fi rm, Grieve Associates Architects, de-signed the building. He is also Knoxville’s 2nd district City Council representative.

Footings for the 1982 World’s Fair Ferris wheel were discovered, as well as an old railroad bed and the former location of Second Creek. The fi ndings were discussed with local his-

torians Terry and Charlie Faulkner, who discovered another former tenant –William Blount, Governor of the Territory South of the River Ohio.

“We didn’t realize all that had occurred at the site,” Grieve says.

Blount, who was raised in North Carolina, served in the Continental Congress and was a reluctant signor of the Constitution. After being named territorial governor by George Wash-ington, he moved to Rocky Mount in Piney Flats, Tenn., before choosing James White’s Fort as the perma-nent capital of the terri-tory. He named the new city Knoxville after Secretary of War Henry Knox.

Terry Faulkner says that Blount lived in a cabin locat-ed within yards of the Tickle Building while his perma-nent home, Blount Mansion, was under construction. His wife, Mary, didn’t want to move to the area until the fi ne house was completed,

but the governor made do with what was likely a sin-gle-pen, or one-room, log cabin.

During the 50th anni-versary of the founding of Knoxville in 1842, East Ten-nessee College President Thomas William Humes noted that Cherokee lead-ers John Watts and Double Head camped near Blount’s cabin on a “knoll between the hill on which East Ten-nessee University now is and the river” during the signing of the Treaty of the Holston in 1791.

Blount likely purchased the cabin, which would have been one of the old-est homes in the area, Ter-ry says. He was a charter trustee of Blount College, now UT, in 1794. He sur-

vived a conspiracy charge to be elected to the senate in 1798. He died two years later, on the back porch of Blount Mansion, and is bur-ied in the First Presbyterian Church cemetery.

The site is one of the things Grieve likes best about the Tickle Building. Each of the 63 faculty and graduate student offi ces has river views. He’s also proud of the building’s atrium, which houses a two-story water tank.

A walkway connects the building to campus. The bridge uses fi berglass-re-inforced I-beams manu-factured by Strongwell, the company owned by John Tickle, who graduated from UT in 1965 with a degree in industrial engineering.

UT site reveals rich history By Wendy SmithIn the 1930s and

1940s, Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus set up the big-top on Sutherland Av-enue at the current site of the National Guard Armory, according to David Williams of the Pond Gap Neighbor-hood Association.

The circus arrived at the Southern Depot, and animals, equip-ment and performers made their way to the site via Sutherland Av-enue, he says. A banner commemorating those days was hung last week, the day before the modern-day Ring-ling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus per-formed seven shows at the Knoxville Civic Coliseum.

Circus clown An-drew Hicks, 23, made an appearance in hon-or of the new banner, which was paid for by an anonymous Pond Gap Neighborhood Association member and installed by Knox County Commissioner Jeff Ownby.

Hicks hails from Raleigh, N.C. It was his childhood dream to join the circus, so he signed up upon gradu-ation from high school. He was pleased to visit the for-mer bigtop site because he loves circus history.

The fi rst combined perfor-mance of Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus was in 1919. The result, accord-ing to the company website, was a show that required 100 double-length railroad cars and 1,200 employees.

“The bigtop was so big you just about couldn’t see

Clowning around on Sutherland Ave.

from one end to the other,” says Hicks.

Now, there are three touring circus troupes. Two travel by bus, and one trav-els by truck. For three years, Hicks lived on a circus train.

Each train is over a mile long, and 40 cars house circus employees. Most animals are transported by truck, he says, but elephants are better suited for the train, which has a smoother ride and temperature con-trol.

He now travels by truck, which has its advantages.

“The view from the train is so beautiful, but hotels are really nice.”

Webb’s ‘The Three Musketeers’ off ers swashbuckling, sword fi ghting fun

Webb’s Upper School will pres-ent “The Three Musketeers” March 7-10, at 7:30 p.m. in Webb School’s Bishop Center. The play calls for 15 separate and distinct sword fi ghts, practiced with scientifi c precision.

bitious undertaking for Webb’s high school drama students. The play calls for 15 separate and distinct sword � ghts, each one practiced with scienti� c precision un-der the direction of seasoned stage combat specialist Charles Miller. “We have a huge cast and the production is such an athletic spectacle that the actors have been working for months to meet the physical demands of the show,” says Webb Upper School drama teacher and director, Patrick McCray. He noted that the � rst three weeks were spent in � ght training before the actual sword dueling choreography even began.

Playgoers will enjoy the familiar tale of country lad D’Artagnan as he enters Paris to become a Musketeer and immediately � nds himself in the seat of inter-national intrigue, crossing swords and matching wits with the diabolical Cardinal Richelieu. On his journey, he is befriended by the � nest of the King’s Musketeers, including the � amboyant Porthos, the debonaire Aramis and their brooding leader Athos. D’Artagnan � nds romance with the beautiful and bold Constance, camara-derie in his feisty sister Sabine, and equal measures of danger at the hands of the treacherous Milady DeWinter and the lethal swordsman Rochefort.

It’s “all for one and one for all” in this witty, swashbuckling tale of heroism, treachery, intrigue, love, and honor.

While generally family friendly, Webb’s “The Three Musketeers” production does contain scenes of intense and violent swordplay, and discretion is advised for sensitive audience members.

work to evoke feelings of peace, joy, and often humor. If I can move some-one with my art, then I have achieved my ultimate aim: to serve. ”

New this year, ArtXtravaganza has partnered with four prominent Knox-ville art galleries. Bennett Galleries, Gift Gourmet & Interiors, Plum Gal-lery, and The District Gallery will all participate in this year’s event and will spotlight some of their featured artists.

ArtXtravaganza is one of the pre-mier art shows in the Southeast and has played a major role in establishing Knoxville as a community aligned with the arts. Re� ecting Webb’s tradition of fostering community by enhancing lives through art education and appre-ciation, proceeds from ArtXtravaganza support Webb’s visual and performing

arts program and the arts at Moore-land Heights Elementary School, an arts-integrated public school support-ed by the Tennes see Arts Commission.

This year’s show and sale will again include a student art exhibit, featuring works by Webb’s Lower, Middle and Upper School grades as well as pieces created by children from Mooreland Heights Elementary.

Doors to ArtXtravaganza open at 1 p.m. on Friday, March 7. The art sale continues Saturday, March 8, from 10 a.m.-6:30 p.m. and Sunday, March 9, from 11 a.m.-4 p.m. For more informa-tion, go to www.artxtravaganza.org or call (865) 291-3846.

Susan Young frequently arranges fl owers from her garden and en-joys decorating for weddings and events at Cedar Springs Presbyterian Church, where she attends.

Patient is ready to dance again after foot surgeryAs soon as the weather warms,

you’ll likely fi nd Susan Young of Knoxville in her garden, or maybe dancing with her granddaughter, Amelia, 3. Someday, she’s sure they’ll dance again while Young is wearing high heels.

“I love high heels!” said Young. “When I wear high heels I feel like I’m standing on the mountain, I can do anything. I feel like I’m younger than ever at 60, I am so happy.”

Young is glad to laugh today, because last year was full of sor-row. Her beloved brother was in the last stages of cancer, in their native Taiwan.

At church one Wednesday night, Young got a phone call that she should come to be with him. As she ran to her car in the rain, she fell and broke her foot. She wore a special shoe to Taiwan, but the foot did not heal properly.

“In Taiwan, you have to walk a lot. It’s easier than driving a car. I walked a lot, ignoring my needs. I just concentrated on taking care of my brother … focusing on him, not my foot.”

In Taiwan the pain grew worse, and when she returned, Young knew she needed to see another doctor. “The pain was sharp. I could see the swelling, it was obvi-ous. I had to walk on the other side of my foot.”

She found podiatrist Dr. Cindy

like I am a whole person.” Young recommended surgery

at Parkwest Medical Center, using small screws and plates to hold the bones together. Unfortunately, Young fell again after surgery and a screw came out. Caplan per-formed a second surgery this pastDecember.

Both outpatient surgeries atParkwest went smoothly, Young said. “They treated me so well. I did not stay there long, but beforethe surgery they always came tobring me everything,” she said.

Now her pain is almost gone,although Young said she is not quite up to wearing high heels.

“I always ask Cindy (Dr. Ca-plan), ‘Can I wear high heels?’ I want to have hope. She always says, ‘Not yet!’

“I was anxious before, but now I feel it’s OK; I have a good doc-tor here to take care of me,” said Young, who compared Caplan to a careful gardener.

“Can gardeners change the sea-son? No, they can only make the fl ower grow prettier for the sea-son,” Young said. “Doctors can’tchange the laws of nature, but what they can do is help me go through this a little easier.

“Cindy is just like a gardener. She cannot give me a completenew foot, but she really takes care. My life will be like fl owers, pret-tier, easier to live.”

Caplan after a coworker at Whirl-pool Inc., recommended her.

“I was so happy to see her. She always asks me about my brother,” said Young. “She does not just tar-get the problem, she treated me

“(Dr. Caplan) is just like a gardener. She cannot give me a complete new foot, but she really takes care. My life will be like fl owers, prettier, easier to live.” – Susan Young

The road to happy feetTreatment options for common foot problems

The foot is one of the most com-plex parts of the body, consisting of 26 bones connected by numer-ous joints, muscles, tendons and ligaments. Given that our feet bear all our body weight, they’re susceptible to many stresses. Foot problems can cause pain, infl am-mation or injury, sometimes re-sulting in limited mobility.

Cindy Caplain, DPM, a podia-trist at Parkwest Medical Center, explains that some foot problems have a medical origin, while oth-ers can be caused or worsened by improper body dynamics or poorly fi tted shoes. Shoes that fi t properly and give good support can prevent irritation to the foot joints and skin.

Here are some of the most com-mon foot problems and treatment options:

A bunion is a protrusion of bone or tissue around a joint. Bun-ions may occur at the base of the great toe or at the base of the little toe and often occur when the joint is stressed over a period of time.

“You can also develop bone growth on the top of the toe joint because of limited motion and jamming the foot into tight shoes,” says Caplan. Women are more fre-quently affected because of tight, pointed and confi ning shoes. Bun-ions can also result from arthritis.

Treatment varies depending on the pain and deformity and may include:

■ Wearing comfortable, well-fi tting shoes that conform to the

shape of the foot and don’t cause pressure areas

■ Applying pads around the affected area

■ Medications such as ibuprofen

■ Orthotic control ■ Surgery

Corns are callus growths that can be painful. They develop on top of the toes, often where a toe rubs against a shoe or another toe. Treat-ment may include shaving the lay-ers of dead skin or applying pads around the corn area. To avoid de-veloping corns, Dr. Caplan suggests wearing shoes with a large toe box to accommodate your foot without rubbing.

A hammertoe is a condition in which the toe buckles, causing the middle joint of the affected toe to poke out, “or you may develop a lesion at the end of the toe,” Dr. Caplan explains. Treatment may include a toe pad positioned over the bony protrusion, changing footwear to accommodate the de-formed toe or surgical removal.

A heel spur is a bone growth on the heel bone, usually on the underside of the bone where it at-taches to the plantar fascia, a long band of connective tissue running from the heel to the ball of the foot. If the plantar fascia is over-stretched from running, wearing poor-fi tting shoes or being over-weight, pain can result from the stress and infl ammation of the tissue pulling on the bone. Over time, the body builds extra bone

in response to the stress, resulting in heel spurs. Treatment includes rest, cold packs, anti-infl ammato-ry medication, proper stretching before activity, proper footwear or shoe inserts, corticosteroid injec-tions or surgery.

Morton neuroma is a build-up of benign tissue in the nerves running between the long bones of the foot. It occurs when two bones rub together and squeeze the nerve between them, usually between the bones leading to the third and fourth toes. Morton neuroma often causes swelling, tenderness, tingling, numbness and burning in the toes. Treatment may involve rest and/or a change in footwear that does not re-strict the foot. If the problem persists, cortisone injections or surgery may be considered.

Plantar fasci-itis is characterized by severe heel pain, especially when standing after rest-ing. The condition is an overuse injury of the sole surface (plantar) of the foot and results in infl ammation of the fascia, a tough, fi brous band of tissue that connects the heel bone to the base of the toes.

“Plantar fasciitis affects both women and men,” Dr. Caplan says. It’s more common in people

who are overweight, have fl at feet or high arches, or whose work requires walking or standing on hard surfaces. Walking or run-ning, especially with tight calf muscles, may also cause the con-dition. Treatment includes rest, ice pack applications, nonsteroi-dal anti-infl ammatory medica-tions, and stretching exercises of the Achilles tendons and plantar fascia.

The Achilles tendon is the largest tendon in the body, con-necting the calf muscle to the heel bone. This tendon is also the most common site of rupture or

tendonitis, an infl ammation of the tendon due to overuse. Symp-toms may include mild pain after exercise that worsens gradually, stiffness that disappears after the tendon warms up, and swelling. Treatment options include rest, nonsteroidal anti-infl ammatory

medications, supportive devices and/or bandages, stretching, massage, ultrasound, strengthen-ing exercises and surgery.

With 26 bones in the foot, al-most any of them can be broken. The type of fracture determines the course of treatment:

Ankle joint fracture usually requires a cast and may require surgery if the bones are too sepa-rated or misaligned.

Metatarsal bone fractures, in the middle of the foot, often don’t require a cast. A stiff-soled shoe may be all the support need-ed as the foot heals. Sometimes

surgery is needed to cor-rect misaligned bones or fractured segments.

Sesamoid bone fractures affect two small, round bones at the end of the metatar-sal bone of the big toe. Usually padded soles can help relieve pain, but sometimes the bone may have to be surgi-cally removed.

Toe fractures can usually heal with or without a cast.

WellnessBy Carol Zinavage

F rom time to time, we all feel “nudg-es” that let us know that something needs to change. Maybe it’s our

approach to a long-term problem, or a concern at work. Maybe it’s a health and lifestyle issue.

For Susan Hanna, those nudges came from all directions and were impossible to ignore, because they affected not only her health, but the person dearest to her – her son, Jake.

And like most mothers, she’d do any-thing for her child.

When Jake was diagnosed with Duch-ennes Muscular Dystrophy in 2008, just shy of his 5th birthday, Susan’s whole life as a parent changed course. She knew they’d both have challenges in the days ahead. And she gradually came to see that she couldn’t face those challenges as an obese person.

So she lost 122 pounds. Like many who struggle with being

overweight, Susan often looked to food as emotional comfort. “For anything that made me feel bad, eating was the answer,” she says. At 5 feet 3 inches tall, her heavi-est weight was 259 pounds. That was in 2012. And that’s when she decided that she’d had enough.

“I know that eventually Jake is going to need a lot of help, and I realized that at that weight, and being so out of shape, there was no way I was going to be able to be what he needed,” she remembers. “I thought about the possibility of having to send him to a constant care facility because I was unable

to care for him, and that was really what motivated me to change.”

She comes from a family “where everyone is over-weight” and has struggled with her weight all her life.

So in addition to getting herself into better shape, she wanted to mod-el healthier behavior for her son. “He is on a daily steroid which causes weight gain. The more he weighs, the harder his muscles have to work and the faster they will break down. I knew I couldn’t keep him from gaining due to the side effects of his medication, but I could try to minimize the damage by help-ing him with healthier eating habits.”

Jake, now 10, is bright-eyed and per-sonable. Since 2009, he’s been an MDA Goodwill Ambassador. He enjoys piano lessons and computer games. And he just had a whale of a time on a family vacation at Disney World.

Susan says she had been on “every diet in the world. “I always said I could write a best-selling diet book, because I know how to lose weight! What I didn’t know was how to keep it off. I had tried everything but the thing that works: lifestyle modifi cation.

“I knew myself well enough to know

able to set modest weight loss goals and track her food and exercise. “It was diffi cult at fi rst, but as I began to see my progress, I was really mo-tivated to keep going.

“Those small steps, over time, added up to a complete lifestyle makeover that is not only sustain-able but enjoyable. I love cooking, so trying new foods was a really fun bonus. Also, a big thing for me is not feeling deprived. If I really want something badly, I eat it. It’s not practical for me to think I’ll live the rest of my life without the occa-sional cheeseburger or piece of red velvet cake.

“But before I indulge, I always ask myself: ‘am I eating this be-cause I really want it, or is there another reason? Do I want this as

much as I want to feel healthy and look better? Am I willing to do extra exercise or skip something else to balance the fat and calories I’m about to eat?’

“Sometimes the answer to those ques-tions is yes, and when it is, I eat! But often I fi nd I am not willing to trade the long term goals for short term gratifi cation.”

In other words, as someone else once said, “Nothing tastes as good as being thin feels!”

Susan has plenty of advice and encour-agement for those who are ready to change.

“Just get started,” she says. “It’s a cliché, but it’s true. Rome wasn’t built in a day, and no one is going to be able to maintain a healthy lifestyle by fad dieting or trying to do too much at once. And if you fall off the wagon, don’t give up! It’s okay if you have a bad meal or a bad day. Don’t beat yourself up or think you won’t ever be able to do it.

“Just keep going, and get it right the next time.”

that I couldn’t jump in and do everything at once. So I started small. I made a list of changes I wanted to make and picked what I thought was the easiest one to start with: walk a mile three times a week. I didn’t push myself. When I fi rst started, I walked slow – strolled, really. But then as it got easier, I increased my pace and my distance. Now I run!”

Susan continues, “After I incorporated one change for a few weeks, I’d add an-other. By making small, attainable goals, I let myself be successful without having to work so hard all at once and give up on something that seemed overwhelming.”

Her fi rst big challenge, she says, came when she started reducing calories. She went to myfi tnesspal.com where she was

Other times people don't want to have to take a drug or medication that might have other side effects or complications.If you are looking for a different solution to treat your allergies, laser allergy treatments could be a great option for you. The lasertreatment is a cold laser that emits energy (which is occasionally referred to as "energy based allergy treatment"). When the laseris used, your body reacts and heals faster by speeding up chemical reactions.

MY-2 • FEBRUARY 24, 2014 • Shopper news

By Betty Bean

A couple of winters ago, Jack Rent-fro was lugging

two bags of groceries up his icy sidewalk when he lost his footing on a slick, humped-up spot of pave-ment and felt both legs start to go out from under him.

“I’m at 45 degrees and about to fall backwards on my fused spine (he suffers from spondylitis – a kind of arthritis) onto this humped sidewalk, and I’m thinking, ‘This is probably going to kill me.’ But somehow, I got both feet back under me. My heart was racing, like when you have a near-miss in traffi c and you realize that you might have been dead.

“I wouldn’t have caught

myself if I hadn’t worked so hard in tai chi, build-ing up my leg strength and balance. I’m positive it saved my butt. I had that leg strength. With two feet to go before disaster, I got my feet under me. It was in my limbic system – muscle memory.”

Renfro was beset with problems – newly divorced, uprooted from his longtime home and in bad health – in 2008 when Jenny Arthur, co-president of the Taoist Tai Chi Society of Knoxville, got him to give Tai Chi a try. He says he immediately felt at home in the sunny, mirrored studio in Happy Holler that is the Knoxville headquarters.

“I came to realize that I could do this. It gave me

some structure. It really can’t be beat as a system for anybody who is recuperat-ing from an injury or is sick or is sedentary. We sit on our butts all week long –in the car, in front of the TV, in front of the computer – and the hips are the hinge for all of this. You can do it as hard as you want, or as easy as you want,” Rentfro said. “You can go to 10 classes a week, or you can go to one. You’re not going to have to do a recital in front of every-body and feel embarrassed because you’re too feeble, too fat or too slow.”

Knoxville and Oak Ridge are the only cities in East Tennessee where Taoist Tai Chi classes are available. These are volunteer-run or-ganizations that offer class-

es in multiple locations for a nominal, sliding-scale fee with discounts for students

and seniors (60 and over). No one is turned away for inability to pay. The Knox-

ville branch has 11 volunteer instructors, one of whom is Martha Culbertson.

“We have members who have had knee replacements, hip replacements, back surgeries, heart surgeries, Muscular Dystrophy, and more who will all tell you that Tai Chi has helped them improve their health. But Taoist Tai Chi is not just for people with physical or health is-sues. We have many members who come because of the stress-relieving benefi ts of the practice. It is a meditative prac-tice, sometimes called moving medita-tion. And many come solely for the com-munity,” Culbertson said.

Although the avoidance of all allergens is ideal, it’s not practical. Immunotherapy (allergy shots and allergy drops)

ective as a treatment option to reduce, and even eliminate, your symptoms and need for medications.

During the spring, it can provide relief from allergic rhinitis, better known as hay fever, which triggers symptoms suchas a runny nose, itching of the eyes, ears and throat, sneezing, and congestion.

Three tips for staying healthy over 50A healthy lifestyle is necessary at

any age, but for those over 50, it’s especially important. As you

age, your body changes, and your risk for health problems increases. Fortunately, there are three simple things you can do to lead a healthier and happier life.

Eat Heart HealthyIf high blood pressure isn’t controlled

through lifestyle changes and/or medicine, it can lead to stroke, heart disease, eye problems and other serious health issues.

A great way to establish a heart healthy diet is by reducing your sodium intake, which may reduce the risk of high blood pressure. Starting the day with a low-sodium ready-to-eat breakfast cereal is just one way to choose a healthier lifestyle. For example, accord-ing to a recent survey, 9 out of 10 physicians recommend Post Shredded Wheat cereal as part of a low-sodium diet to help support

healthy blood pres-sure levels, (based on an online sur-vey of 400 physi-cians conducted by Wakefi eld Re-search. Results of any sample are subject to sam-pling variation).

Enjoy Nutrient-Dense Foods

As you age, your body needs fewer calories for energy – but still needs the same amount of nutrients. It’s important to make your calories count by eating foods packed with good nutri-tion such as:

■ Fruits and vegetables: Fresh, canned, frozen – it doesn’t matter. Vegetables are

loaded with vitamins and minerals your body needs.

■ Protein: Add some va-riety to your diet with de-

licious protein sources such as fi sh, beans

and peas. ■ Whole grains:

The Dietary Guide-lines for Ameri-cans recom-mends at least three servings of whole-grain foods each day (16g per serving or 48g per day).

Get MovingPhysical ac-

tivity and regu-lar exercise can

decrease the risk of heart disease,

stroke, colon can-cer, diabetes and high

blood pressure. The Centers for Disease Con-

trol and Prevention recom-mend those 65 years of age or

older, who are generally fi t, and have no limiting health conditions, try to get:

■ Two hours and 30 minutes (150 min-utes) of moderate-intensity aerobic activ-ity, such as brisk walking or yoga, and

■ Muscle-strengthening activities twoor more days a week.

You should consult your physician or other health care professional before making changes to your diet or exercise plan to determine what is right for your needs.

In addition to taking up walking or yoga, joining group activities or sports are great ways to keep moving. In 2014, Post Shredded Wheat will be partnering with the National Senior Games to grant 20 seniors the opportunity to participate in their local Senior Games. Those who submit entries will also be asked to sign a petition to get the National Senior Games to add a 20th sport in 2015. To apply and sign the Post Shredded Wheat “Game On” petition, visit www.PostShreddedWheat-Games.com.

Taking care of your blood pressure, en-joying healthy foods, and staying active are three steps you can start taking today to help you get and stay healthy for tomorrow. You can learn more about the nutritional benefi ts of Post Shredded Wheat at www.PostShreddedWheat.com.

Tips to support a healthy lifestyle

I f the decadent dishes and busy schedules have set

back your efforts towards a healthy lifestyle, fear not. With the right plan in place, it’s easy to get back on track, re-energized and refocused.

Shorter days and cold-er weather may seem to heighten the desire to in-dulge in comfort foods, just as much as it can lessen the motivation to take part in physical activity, like hitting the gym or taking an after-noon stroll.

Health expert, author and registered dietitian, Pa-tricia Bannan, shares a few simple changes to help re-charge your routine and get excited, no matter what the thermometer reads outside:

Set realistic expectations

If you haven’t been run-ning in months and plan to jump on the treadmill tomorrow, it’s important to take your new workout in stride. Having high aspira-tions for your health is a

wonderful thing, but there’s nothing wrong with start-ing small. Setting achiev-able goals – such as jogging or walking for a certain amount of time each day – will help to keep you work-ing toward the goal of run-ning a 10K in the long term.

Buddy up By now you’ve likely

commiserated with friends about the lapse in your health and wellness goals. This is the perfect oppor-tunity to ask someone to partner up in your healthy

Re-energize your wellness routine

pursuits. Ask friends, fam-ily, neighbors or co-work-ers if they are interested in joining a gym, taking a boot camp class, or partici-pating in a healthy cooking course.

Supply your body with quality nutrition

Beyond getting in your required fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, healthy fats and whole grains through

a balanced diet, taking a high quality supplement can help bridge any nutrient gaps and help you get what your body may be lacking. Bannan recommends Adult Gummies Energy‡ B12

from

Nature Made®, the No. 1 pharmacist recommended brand of letter vitamins.1 Vitamin B12 supports cel-lular energy production by helping the body convert food into energy, and gum-

mies offer an enjoyable way to take your vitamins.†

Swap out ingredientsHealthier alternatives

exist for all of your favor-ite dishes. If you crave a hearty bowl of chili, switch out ground beef for a leaner variety of ground turkey. Use whole-grain pasta in your favorite Italian dishes or whole-grain breads for sandwiches. These changes are small, but can have a big impact on your overall nu-trition when put into prac-tice.

By incorporating a few of these simple tips into your daily wellness routine, you’ll be on the path to a healthier new you.
