By Betty BeanKnox County school board

members were faced with a stark choice last week: Approve a mem-orandum of understanding be-tween Mayor Tim Burchett and Superintendent James McIntyre that leaves teachers with half the pay raise they’d been led to ex-pect, or be stuck with Burchett’s original budget offer, which would leave the school system with a $6.5 million shortfall and mean no raise at all.

Analysis

The day after: What did teachers gain?

It really wasn’t a nail biter.The political reality is there

was little chance that the MOU would fail, given that board mem-ber Doug Harris, a member of the pro-McIntyre faction, had initi-ated the negotiating process and was locked into a yes vote, as were

the four anti-McIntyre faction members – two of whom, Terry Hill of District 6 and Mike Mc-Millan of District 8, are being re-warded with constituent-pleasing new middle schools.

When District 5 board member Karen Carson signaled her inten-tion to vote yes by proposing an amendment making sure that Burchett didn’t hog the credit for the pay raise, any suspense sur-rounding the vote was removed.

Under the terms of the compro-mise, McIntyre agreed to trim $1 million from his original budget request and apply it to teacher raises. Burchett agreed to make a onetime payment to Knox Coun-ty Schools of $3 million to fund APEX (strategic compensation) bonuses promised to teachers who earned them. This leaves open the question of how such bonuses will be funded in the future.

The agreement to sell the An-

drew Johnson Building was ac-cepted with no comment, and little reference was made to a paragraph in the agreement that bars ad-ditional new school construction until 2021, except for a couple of board members who are hoping for new schools in their districts noting that the agreement is “non-binding.”

Board members Tracie Sanger, Lynne Fugate and Gloria Death-ridge made strong cases for turn-ing down the deal, and Sanger was eloquent when she spoke of “have-not” schools – like Inskip Elemen-tary School – whose actual needs “will be superseded by projected needs. We need to address current needs before we address projected needs,” she said.

Several dozen red-shirted teachers who had rallied in sup-port of nonrenewed colleagues before the board meeting stuck around to watch the vote. Most

had little to say about the MOU.When asked how teachers felt

about getting only half of the 4 percent raise that McIntyre – and Gov. Bill Haslam – semi-promised them this year, one teacher activ-ist said teachers are accustomed to getting shafted.

“Once again we’re feeling like an afterthought, but we’re thinking, ‘Something’s better than nothing.’ You can say raises are a priority, and we’ve got to take care of them, but meanwhile teachers are being chased out; veteran teachers are being replaced by young teachers. It’s cheaper that way. And McIntyre keeps creating administrative po-sitions for people like Clifford Da-vis and Russ Oaks. And the $65 million for new schools? Teachers don’t think much about that.”

The teacher tapped Burchett as the big winner in the compromise.

“He’s got McIntyre on a short leash.”

By Betsy PickleThe views from the hilltop cam-

pus of the Tennessee Children’s Home in Karns are impressive. But looking around at what’s tak-ing place on campus is even more satisfying.

Before the end of the month, the Tennessee Children’s Home

Loy Molchan stands in front

of one of the two new group

homes soon to open at the Ten-

nessee Children’s Home in Karns.

will open two new group homes and a school/multipurpose build-ing. That will allow the 501(C)(3)(e) organization to serve a total of 24 13- to 18-year-old boys who have been abused, abandoned, ne-glected or orphaned or who have been put into “the system” due to

their own wayward behavior.“We try to rebuild the whole boy

and equip him for life to come,” says Loy Molchan, development director for the East Tennessee home, one of four Tennessee Children’s Home sites throughout the state.

The Karns campus, 8550 Har-

old Duncan Way off Copper Ridge Road, sits on property donated about 30 years ago by Harold and Della Duncan, longtime members of Karns Church of Christ (both now deceased), but few people are aware of it.

Wow! what a contract, what a job!Analysis

By Sandra ClarkHow reads the contract of an

MPC director who works for two mayors?

It’s the employment agreement written by fi ctional lawyer Denny Crane. Here are the high spots:

Gerald Green earns $125,000 plus benefi ts and a $400/month auto allowance. He gets a one-time $10,000 stipend for moving expenses from Cullowhee, N.C.

He’s got a one-year contract that automatically renews for one year unless written notice to ter-minate is give at least 60 days be-fore the June 30 expiration date.

However, “nothing in this agreement shall prevent, limit or otherwise interfere with the right of the Mayors to terminate the ser-vices of Green at any time, subject only to the provision set forth in Section 3 of this agreement.”

Section 3 deals with severance. Green gets “one month’s aggregate salary, benefi ts and deferred com-pensation” plus accrued sick days if he is terminated.

It makes no mention of actions

that might lead to termination, or if the mayors must agree to termi-nate.

Green can likewise resign at any time, but “shall give 60 days notice.” There is no penalty for failure to give notice.

Disability: if Green is unable to perform his duties because of “sickness, accident, injury, mental incapacity or health for a period of four successive weeks beyond any accrued sick leave, the mayors shall have the option to terminate this agreement,” subject to the one-month severance agreement in Section 3.

You know Green really needs this job because of this:

“Whereas, Green recognizes and acknowledges that he will serve as an employee of the MPC but that the Mayors are specifi cal-ly authorized by statute to employ and terminate the employment of the MPC Executive Director de-spite the fact that the Executive Director is not an employee of the City of Knoxville or Knox County.”

Quick! Let’s send a copy of this contract to Dave Hart at UT Ath-letics and to the school board.

And all together say it: “Denny Crane.”

On James Cook’s 68th birthday, he learned he’d been diagnosed with prostate cancer.

Initially, “I threw a pity party,” he says. “Then I thought, ‘What in God’s name am I doing? I’ve been a fi ghter my whole damn life.’”

Cook started out as a “little, scrawny” kid with glasses, growing up in the “rough part” of Cleveland, Ohio. Cook says his status as a target for bullies drew him into martial arts, which he discovered one day at the local community center. His teacher didn’t show up for the magic class he and his brother were taking, and Cook wandered into a room with “lots of guys in white pajamas and colored belts.”

The experience was transfor-mational. Cook soaked up all the local instruction he could fi nd as a child. When he landed as a sol-dier in Vietnam, Cook’s training began in earnest, starting with the Korean Army based just across the river border where he was sta-tioned. Following the war, he re-enlisted and returned to Korea to study with a variety of Tae Kwon Do and Kung Fu masters. He spent a total of fi ve years in the country.

The Korean fi ghters were initially hesitant to accept him into their ranks, Cook said in an interview for the book, “Korean Kung Fu: The Chinese Connection.”

Provision Center for Proton Therapy is making a name for itself as an early adopter of technologies that improve treatment outcomes and patient comfort for cancer patients.

Provision was the fi rst proton therapy center to use SpaceOAR® hydrogel, a product recently cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Admin-istration that protects the rectum in men undergoing radiation therapy for prostate cancer.

Because of the close proximity of the prostate to the rectum, radiation therapy can cause damage, result-ing in long-term side effects. Placed through a small needle, the hydro-gel is administered as a liquid, but

quickly solidifi es into a soft gel that expands the space between the pros-tate and rectum. The hydrogel spacer maintains this space until radio-therapy is complete. The spacer then liquefi es and is absorbed and cleared from the body in the patient’s urine.

“We’re pleased to be the fi rst proton therapy center to introduce this additional protection for our cancer patients,” said Marcio Fa-

gundes M.D., radiation oncologist and medical director for Provision Center

for Proton Therapy. “By its nature, proton therapy’s targeted radiation dosage protects surrounding tissues from damage. The SpaceOAR product provides us with even more ability

to keep our patients comfortable and further prevent long-term side effects as a result of their treatment.”

According to the American Cancer Society and the National Cancer

Institute, prostate cancer is sec-ond only to skin cancer as the most frequently diagnosed cancer in men with an estimated 220,800 new cases and 27,540 deaths in the U.S. in 2015 alone. Worldwide, prostate cancer is expected to grow to 1.7 million new cases and 499,000 deaths by 2030.

Proton therapy is a proven treat-ment for prostate cancer. It is superior to surgery and conventional radiation treatment because the protons target the cancer itself, sparing healthy

surrounding tissues and organs. The result is few to no side effects such as incontinence, impotence and second-ary cancers.

The Provision Center for Proton Therapy is one of just 16 proton therapy centers in the United States. Open to all credentialed physicians and health systems, the center has three treatment rooms and is able to accommodate up to 900 cancer patients annually. The center delivers the most advanced cancer therapy treatment in the world, combining leading edge technology with an ex-perienced medical staff committed to best treatment practices, innovation and research.

Knoxville fi ghter, veteran, musician battles prostate cancer with protons

But they quickly recognized his previ-ous training and skill, and “just ac-cepted me with open arms,” he says.

His connections in the Korean mar-tial arts world led to appearances as the fi rst black man in Korean cinema, with roles in two fi ghting movies, “Wind from the East” and “The Last Five Fingers.”

He continued his storied career in the martial arts upon his return to the U.S. He won the U.S. Karate Associa-tion Grand Nationals in 1977 and was listed as one of 10 “Top Male Kara-teka in the United States” that same year. He won the World International middleweight championship in 1979. He is an inductee into the Interna-tional Karate & Kickboxing Hall of Fame in Cleveland. He is the subject of several book chapters and has been featured widely in martial arts publi-cations. As a Master Instructor, he has coached several top names in the fi eld

of martial arts. Additionally, Cook served in the

Army as a military police investigator and hand-to-hand combat instruc-tor, leaving in 2008 as, he says, the last Vietnam veteran from Knoxville, where he moved more than 10 years ago, to retire from military service.

While James Cook is famous in fi ghting circles, Jimmy Logston made his reputation as a musician. Cook, whose grandfather taught him to play guitar, started writing songs at age 10. He has worked with The Dazz Band, The Impressions, Lee Greenwood, Johnny Paycheck, Ray Stevens and

James Cook with famed songwriter Otis Blackwell, (front right) who signed Cook as a recording artist shortly before Blackwell’s unexpected death in 2002.

others. He was signed as a record-ing artist by Otis Blackwell—noted songwriter for Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis and Peggy Lee. The stint ended, however, when Blackwell died unexpectedly in 2002. In 2000, Cook released an album, “Reunion of Life,” dedicated to his time in Vietnam.

“Because of my background in martial arts, I got tired of people approaching me while I was on stage performing,” he says. “At the time I was dating a girl name Debbie Logs-ton. I took her last name for stage use.”

Still, he wasn’t able to shed his iden-tity as a fi ghter.

“The fi rst night I performed with that name,” Cook says, “a guy walked

up and said, ‘You look just like a guy I know named James Cook.’”

Lately, Cook has been living a quiet life in Knoxville, only re-cently taking up fi ghting again in the senior ranks and launching a new career making custom guitars. Then came his cancer diagnosis.

His doctor advised surgery, but after seeing local television ads featuring

Olympic ice skater and cancer survivor Scott Hamilton — the

“little ice skating guy,” as Cook calls him — he fi nally had a reason to pay attention.

“For 72 hours straight I was on my computer,” he says. That research led him to start making phone calls to other cancer centers, cancer patients and the Provision Center for Proton Therapy. Proton therapy, he learned, would nearly eliminate the common side effects of surgery for prostate cancer such as impotence and inconti-nence. It would offer a better fi ghting chance for quality of life after the cancer was gone.

“I called up, cancelled my surgery and said, ‘Later, dude,’” Cook says.

He has had no regrets. The Provi-sion experience was positive, the staff was wonderful, and he says he felt good throughout the treatment.

“I made a promise that I’d live until I was 120,” he says. “And I’m go-ing to live up to that promise.”

Spoken like the scrawny little kid from Cleveland who grew up to be a fi ghter.

If you or a loved one has been

diagnosed with cancer, please

get a second opinion to learn if

proton therapy is right for you.

Children’s Home From page A-1

It started as a group home for girls and younger chil-dren, when 16 residents were allowed.

It was transformed and repurposed into a Level 2 fa-cility for eight resident teen boys who stay from a few months to a couple of years, and it has become highly ac-claimed for its success.

“We have the lowest rate of return of anybody in the state,” says Molchan. “We have the highest accredita-tion that you can obtain for what we do.”

She says TCH didn’t set out to be “a well-kept se-cret.” But the Department of Children’s Services, which refers children to the home, has strict rules about who may interact with the resi-dents.

Now, the home is look-ing for more exposure in the community, in part because it needs support. The building project – em-barked upon at the urging of DCS – is a costly endeavor. The signature annual TCH fundraiser, the John Chavis Golf Classic, took place in late June.

Molchan says everyone is invited to an open house from 3-5 p.m. Friday, July 24. The afternoon will in-clude a dedication service and refreshments.

Financial donations are always welcome, but the home also needs household items for the residences – and prayer.

“We are a Church of Christ-funded organization, but then again the Baptists fund us, Catholics, Methodists,” says Molchan. While staff mem-bers are required to be strong Christians, she says, “We don’t impose religion on any-one. We take all walks.

A new school building at the Tennessee Children’s Home will house classrooms, counseling rooms, a gymnasium, staff of-fi ces and a campus-wide pantry.

“We make them do what’s right, like you would your own child. We don’t force anything or tell them that they must whatever.”

Faith is an important element of the program be-cause the residential coun-selors (house parents) are trying to set an example for the boys.

“We bring them in here and we show them Christian love, but we have a very strict regimen, and we have levels,” says Molchan. “They want to, of course, go level up because they have more privileges. It doesn’t take long for them to do that, but they have to do our program.”

The boys go on fi shing trips and treks in the moun-tains. They dine out and cel-ebrate birthdays.

“And if there’s a decent movie on, they go to the movies,” says Molchan.

The boys have light chores, but they also get downtime.

“What we’re trying to do is provide them a home setting and set an example of how a real home should function with respect for each other and routines,” says Molchan.

New MPC director wants to talkGerald Green doesn’t

have many positive memo-ries of downtown Knoxville from his graduate school days in the early 1980s. He interned in a leased offi ce with no windows, and he re-calls a restaurant on Market Square but can’t remember the name. Beyond Miller’s Department Store and Big Don the Costumier, nothing else stands out.

Now, he thinks the city is great. Downtown, the river, the university, neigh-borhoods, greenways and people provide a great foun-dation, and Knoxville is building on it, he says.

Green is the new ex-ecutive director of the Knoxville-Knox County Metropolitan Planning Commission, and he’s get-ting his feet wet by reading and by meeting with people. His defi nition of planning is 70 percent education, 20 percent counseling and 10 percent planning.

He was a planner in Ashe-ville, N.C., as it was grow-ing up. During the month he moved there in 1989, the fourth downtown res-

taurant opened. The city’s successful growth led to a lack of affordable housing − something he hopes Knox-ville can avoid. The city also lost its friendliness, he says, which contributed to his decision to accept a job as planning director for Jack-son County, N.C.

The county seat of Jack-son County is Sylva − pop-ulation 2,603. But a rapid population increase was un-derway when Green arrived in 2010. The change allowed him to do different things, like environmental plan-ning, protecting natural re-sources and working with small communities.

Working with small com-munities is the same as working with larger ones, just more personal, he says. He left that post to return to Knoxville.

His experiences have led him to value good commu-nication. In Asheville, he had good relationships with neighborhoods and devel-opers alike because he com-municated with them.

“Nobody likes to be told no without an explanation.”

He hopes to get off on the right foot here by meeting with neighborhood groups. The city needs to have a bal-ance of single-family and multi-family housing, and he plans to talk to residents about where high-density housing would work best.

Building high-density housing in the right place enhances commercial de-velopment and discourages developers from putting it in the wrong place, he says.

The biggest challenges he will face in Knoxville, aside from communica-tion, are getting buy-in for the city’s vision of growth from the center and identi-fying where county growth should happen. He’s heard that some want to preserve areas in the southern part of the county, and some want to preserve farmland in the east, and he aims to fi nd out if those are shared goals.

When asked for his opin-ion on historic preserva-

tion, he chooses his words carefully. There’s real value in historic properties, but the economics have to work. There has to be a way to re-use them, he says.

While he’s glad to return to Knoxville, he doesn’t an-ticipate being able to relax anytime soon. He plans to spend his evenings meet-ing with the community. His wife, Ashlea Green, still teaches part-time at West-ern Carolina University and plans to commute between Knoxville and Cullowhee, N.C.

Those who wonder which part of town the Greens will call home will have to wait. They are still house shopping.

Recently, comments were attributed to Gov. Bill Haslam regarding the proposed gas tax hike that seemed out of character for him. He was quoted from Shelbyville telling gas tax

Jim Henry can help Bill Haslam

opponents to “bring it on” if they wanted to fi ght a gas tax increase.

As many readers of this column know, Bill Haslam is one of the nicest persons you will ever meet. He is never derogatory about opposing points of view and prefers resolving issues to confrontations. So when he urges opponents to go to war with him, that is not the Bill Haslam we know.

Without commenting on the merit of an increase in the gas tax at this time, all should be able to agree it is a complicated issue with many ramifi cations.

First, Gov. Haslam has not yet made a specifi c pro-posal although it appears he will support an increase. We just do not know if it will be 10 cents or 20 cents or somewhere in between.

We do not know if it will be for bridge replacements, new roads, repairing old roads, urban or rural, or all of the above. In short, there is nothing to support or oppose until the governor puts it on the table.

Second, he will need to lay the groundwork for legislative buy-in. He will need to meet personally with dozens of lawmakers, not in group settings.

He will need to fi nd out what their concerns are and how to meet them. Other-wise, he faces the prospect of another loss along the lines of Insure Tennessee. Many legislators cam-paigned on lower taxes. It may be impossible for them to vote for a tax increase during the 2016 session with that pledge in their platform.

Third, he cannot keep on saying the budget is in great shape as he has for four years and not mention road funding as an issue. Everything cannot be fi ne

one day and then in crisis the next day when it comes to roads.

His new chief of staff, Jim Henry, has a strong legislative background. Henry, 70, is highly re-spected.

The governor will need to listen to his experience and build on it. He has his work cut out for him.

Henry needs to get the Lady Vols fi asco off the front page as the governor, who chairs the University of Tennessee Board of Trust-ees, is getting tarnished by it. One would think the UT leadership, starting with President Joe DiPietro, would realize they have a serious problem that has not been resolved.

Terry Faulkner: The talk at the recent Marshall Stair for Council kick-off reception was about Terry Faulkner, longtime Bearden neighborhood activist, running in 2017 to replace Duane Grieve on City Council. Grieve is term-limited. The current council members, with the exception of Mark Campen, appear strong contenders for re-election, so attention is already turning to who will replace the fi ve district council members who are term-limited in 2017.

Faulkner is a go-to per-son in Bearden and among neighborhood groups citywide. She has spear-headed the new Everly Park idea. She was instrumental in getting Charlie Thomas appointed to City Council to replace then-Vice Mayor Bob Becker, who had moved to Richmond, Va. It took several ballots for Thomas to prevail.

She is a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of UT and the mother of two adult daugh-ters. Council will lose its only woman in 2017 when Brenda Palmer retires unless a woman wins this year.

■ Three members will likely leave MPC in a few months as they are city appointments who have served two terms. Mayor Rogero has a rigid policy of not naming people to a third term. The three are former Vice Mayor Jack Sharp, Bart Carey and Michael Kane. However, it is possible one of them could receive a county ap-pointment as Arthur Clancy did and continue on MPC. Carey is vice chair.

■ Dean Rice, Mayor Burchett’s chief of staff, has been ill at home for the past three weeks. He is recover-ing well from a virus picked up while in Jordan on a private trip. It caused acute pericarditis. The good news is he expects to be back to work soon.

‘Why are we building this road?’Road projects often gen-

erate their own momentum, especially when an engi-neering fi rm gets involved.

Take Washington Pike, east of Target and New Har-vest Park. You’ll soon reach Murphy Road and a traf-fi c light at Tazewell Pike. It could be a quick route to, well, Gibbs.

If you want to go from New Harvest Park to Gibbs.

Otherwise, why in the world would the city pay $15 million and change to im-

prove a 1.84-mile stretch?“Why are we (city resi-

dents) building this road?” asked Ronnie Collins, presi-dent of the Alice Bell Spring Hill Neighborhood Associa-tion. “And who are we build-ing it for?”

He was echoed by Justin Sterling, East Towne Busi-ness Alliance president.

“The business alliance is not opposed to this, but we’d rather see limited resources used to install a second-chance exit ramp from I-640 and clear out some of the brush (that limits vis-ibility).”

“We’re building it be-cause it’s a city street and it needs improvement,” said city Engineering Director Jim Hagerman, who seemed

annoyed by the question.Project manager Jeff

Mize said after last week’spublic hearing that the en-gineering and right-of-wayacquisition are funded.

The city has diverted some$10 million from this projectto Cumberland Avenue im-provements. Mize said fund-ing is federal, routed throughTDOT and the city.

Why build it? When?And who benefi ts? We needanswers before additionalmoney is invested.

The price hike passed, but Gabrielson is glad she spoke up. At the Wednesday night meeting, she strug-gled with her emotions as she weighed in on the com-munity controversy caused by the abrupt dismissal of Bearden’s highly regarded softball coach, who took his team to the state tour-nament only to be told that his services were no longer required.

“I just had some ques-tions I wanted to get an-swered,” she said. “I wanted to come in with a bang and hit the ground running. Adam has prepared me well.”

Gabrielson’s predecessor, Adam Hasan, was also from Bearden High, something she feared would hurt her chances.

“I was pleasantly sur-prised,” she said. “And ob-viously, since student rep is the name of this position, I want to represent as many students as possible, and students need to feel free

to contact me, no matter what.”

When school starts, she plans to stay involved in activities like the student government, Key Club and Math Club. She plays piano and cello and is a member of the school orchestra and the Knoxville Symphony Youth Orchestra.

The daughter of Jay and Elsie Gabrielson, she has two brothers – Keith, a Bearden High School ju-nior and dual varsity ath-lete (football, baseball), and Reese, who is in the seventh grade.

“I’ve gone through pub-lic school my 12 years of schooling,” she said. “I feel like this is not only a way I can give back, but I can rep-resent a diverse culture of students that really need to be heard by the board.”

Gabrielson said she wants to hear from other students. She can be reached via [email protected] or through Twitter and Facebook.

Bearden High School senior Sydney Gabriel-

son’s fi rst day on the job as stu-dent school board rep-resentative began with a 7 a.m. drive to the Uni-versity of Ten ne s s e e

Medical Center. She’s par-ticipating in the Medical Ex-plorations Program, which allows rising seniors and recent high school graduates to shadow doctors and resi-dents as part of a six-week summer internship.

She was in surgery until 4:15 p.m., then drove down-town to be in her seat in the Andrew Johnson Build-ing in time for the school board’s July workshop meeting at 5 p.m. She didn’t get home until after 10:30.

raise the prices of tickets to athletic events, passing along questions she’d gotten from students and parents.

“I’d just like to urge the board not to pass this,” she said, citing the fi nancial burden on families who at-tend games.

“I think you will lose stu-dent morale if you increase these ticket prices. Bearden (football) was one and nine last year, and I don’t think students from our school want to go and support a losing team when they have to pay $2 extra.”

Ultimately, the board ap-proved a maximum ticket price increase of $2 per ticket. Football tickets will be up to $8 at the gate, $6 advance student price, with lesser increases for other sporting events.

Effective Aug. 1, a charging fee of 4 cents per minute for Blink members and 6 cents per minute for Blink guests will be applied to stations at two city garages.

The city of Knoxville has reached an agree-ment with Car Charging Group Inc., the largest owner, operator and pro-vider of electric vehicle (EV) charging services, for the continued opera-tion and maintenance of the 10 Blink EV charging stations located at the

Market Square and Civic Coliseum parking garag-es.

These stations, along with two solar arrays and battery storage, were originally installed by Oak Ridge National Labo-ratory as part of a state-wide Department of En-ergy research project.

The Blink Level 2 EV charging stations quickly recharge an electric ve-hicle’s battery. EV drivers can become a Blink mem-ber at no cost. Info: www.BlinkNetwork.com.

Fee for car charging at 2 city garages

Football is not foreverThere must be a message

in the sad story of Antonio “Tiny” Richardson.

The very large former Volunteer looked like an NFL tackle in high school. All he had to do was learn the nuances and push past lazy periods.

As a Tennessee fresh-man, he was 6-6 and 330 and good enough to play with fi eld-goal units. He got additional experience at garbage time, when the Vols were safely ahead or out of contention.

He played one snap in the victory over Vanderbilt. He lined up at fullback and cleared a path for a Tauren Poole touchdown. Team-

Marvin West

mates said, “Wow!”Richardson was the start-

ing left tackle as a sopho-more, blindside protector for Tyler Bray. Tiny’s big body, perfectly sculpted, fi t per-fectly in Derek Dooley jokes.

The coach said he always looked carefully to gauge Tiny’s mood before taking the risk of yelling at him in practice. The coach said he gained confi dence just

standing beside Tiny, that when you have a man like that on your side, you know you have a chance to win.

On trips, the coach wanted Tiny to be fi rst off the bus. He was imposing enough to calm heckling crowds and create inferior-ity complexes.

Richardson played so well in 2012, it was easy to overlook false starts, mis-alignments, holding and other little infractions. In a clash of titans, he defeated South Carolina’s famous Jadeveon Clowney.

The Vols ran 71 plays against that really good Gamecock defense, and Richardson graded high or

at least acceptable on 70. On that other play, Clowney gave him an inside fake, went outside, hit Bray’s passing arm and forced a fumble that essentially won the game.

“To watch how he com-peted the whole game,’’ Dooley said, “it just breaks your heart that Clowney made an incredible play that last play, and it happens to be the one they are going to show on ESPN.”

That play and that loss probably factored in Dool-ey’s departure.

Before the 2013 season, there was talk that Tiny might go early to the NFL.

“The way I see it, I’m the best left tackle in the country.”

Those in the know said fi rst round, maybe top eight.

“That’s motivation, the

thought of seeing your name on draft boards. I see myself as a top-fi ve pick when the time comes, but that’s not my focus right now.”

First, he was going to take care of business.

Richardson didn’t play as well as a junior. He had a gimpy knee or knees. He was a central fi gure in an offensive line that looked great in warmups but un-derachieved. NFL scouts noticed.

Tiny realized football was not forever, that his playing time was limited, that he had better get some while he could. He committed to the draft. He was not spec-tacular at the combine. To his amazement, he endured three days of draft excite-ment without getting a call.

Minnesota signed him

as a free agent. There wasno bonus, none of the pre-dicted millions. He was paid$303,000. His agent andtaxes got their shares.

Tiny was injured in anexhibition game. He neededrepairs. He spent last sea-son on the “unable to per-form” list. He announc edhis retirement from footballa few weeks ago.

First thought was theRobert Burns line, “Thebest-laid plans o’ mice an’men …”

I do believe AntonioRichardson is a good man.He’ll survive. He may excel.I sure hope so.

Summer Sizzle Sale at UPSTAIRS

About a month ago, for fun and profi t, I slammed a car door on my little fi nger nail. My nail black-ened and for days after-wards, I could count my pulse by the throbbing.

At annual conference, I sat next to a dear friend (whom I now see only at annual conference), and who always has perfectly manicured, lovely nails. I had tried to cover up the mess that was my pinky with red nail pol-ish (which I never wear!), but I’m not sure whether it camoufl aged the black-ness or called attention to it.

It was a little thing, but it was enough to make me think about all the disas-ters that lurk around us.

We drive down a high-way, sometimes a matter of inches from other cars and huge trucks, trusting that everyone all around us is sober and attentive. We board airplanes, as-suming that the pilot is awake and alert and – we hope and pray – a good guy who is not going to fl y

us into the side of a moun-tain. We go to church, as-suming that everyone in the room is there to wor-ship God and fellowship with the other worship-pers.

All of these examples are matters of faith.

In my opinion, it is the only way to live. The alternatives are fearful-ness, paranoia, and isola-tion – all prices I am un-willing to pay.

So I drive, board air-planes, and go to church, without packing heat.

I want to live. I want to live a long, long time, and my genes come from long-lived people, so odds are that I may do that.

More importantly, however, while I am liv-ing, I want to make a real difference!

Bishop reaffi rms opposition to death penaltyBishop Richard F. Stika,

bishop of the Diocese of Knoxville, released a state-ment in response to a U.S. Supreme C ourt ruling:

“With much sadness, I again express tremendous disappointment on yet an-other decision of the U.S. Supreme Court, this time regarding the continued use of lethal injection as a form of capital punishment.

“I write as one whose very own family was touched by a horrifi c crime, who un-derstands the agony that is particularly a victim’s fam-ily in losing a loved one to

a senseless and cruel act of violence.

“Thirty-seven years ago, two of my aged uncles who owned a small store were murdered by a 16-year-old youth who eventually took his own life. To kill another does not bring back a loved one; it only furthers the pain.

“To preach the Gospel, as I must, means I must also preach the mercy of God and the need for all of us, for our society, to imitate God’s mercy if we are to fi nd true healing from sin in all its forms.”

By Carolyn EvansJim Hamilton wanted to

help feed hungry people. Acting on that concern for others has brought about change in the lives of many, many families in the East Tennessee area through the Cornerstone Church of God Mobile Pantry.

The story of the mo-bile pantry at the Farragut church is the story of one person’s idea and of the willingness of others to join in and make it happen.

It was a normal Sunday morning four years ago for Robin Rolland until Ham-ilton walked up to her after church and said he need-ed her help. Rolland had known Hamilton for a long time. She thought he might want some help around his house. When they met a few weeks later to discuss Hamilton’s idea, he told her he wanted to start a mobile food pantry.

“I’ll supply whatever you need fi nancially,” he told her.

Rolland, who said she knew nothing about run-ning a mobile pantry, still jumped in. “I’ll be your arms and legs for as long as you need me,” she told Ham-ilton. She called the Second Harvest offi ce. They told her the ins-and-outs and of-fered to help. Rolland and Hamilton talked to Corner-stone pastor Steve McCul-lar, who jumped onboard. Soon they had a team of vol-unteers, including Rolland’s husband, Ben.

“There’s a core team from Cornerstone who set up for the distribution,” Robin Rolland said. “On the day of the distribution, 80 people volunteer to help us. Almost our entire church shows up, and we have vol-unteers from other church-es, too.”

Pastor Steve McCullar talks with Robin and Ben Rolland at a December mobile food pantry dis-tribution in Jeff erson City.

Dream realized: Vision of helping

feed hungry takes a team

the road 11 to 12 times a year to take food to the counties surrounding Knox. The vol-unteers from Cornerstone distribute food to as many as 1,300 to 1,500 people at schools in the area. By the end of 2015, the mobile pan-try will have delivered gro-ceries in 14 counties.

“We were recently down in Tellico Plains,” said Rol-land. “We saw hardworking people who can’t quite make ends meet. When you pour $200 worth of groceries into someone’s home, you hope they’ll be able to pay a bill or buy shoes. We hope to get them over that hump.”

Moore Freight Service in Knoxville provides a box truck every month for the deliveries. Cornerstone fi lls it with the food they get for free from Campbell Soup company. They also buy a whole or half truck of food from Second Harvest.

Rolland and Hamilton said the mobile pantry pro-vides the church a way to minister to others and pro-vides opportunity for others who want to be involved in

a mission project. Over the years, volunteers from Lost Sheep Ministries, Grace and Glory Church in downtown Knoxville, a local Romanian church, numerous church youth groups, a church in Mobile, Ala., and even a Times Square church in New York have come to help distribute and buy food.

“We took the Times Square church into Clai-borne County,” Rolland said. “They were blown away. They’ve scheduled another mission trip for No-vember.”

Health problems keep Hamilton from physically participating, but he re-ceives reports and hears the stories. Hamilton says that knowing the mobile pan-try is taking care of people makes him feel good. Two years after starting the proj-ect, Hamilton came to Rol-land with fi nancial news. “I have you taken care of for the next 28 years,” he told her.

“There are a lot of hungry people around,” said Hamil-ton, who is 82. “I had a note

that was payable for $1,000 a month. I gave the note to the church for the pantry, and the church uses that.”

“Thanks to Jim, we’ve never had to worry about raising money,” Rolland said. “When we report back in to him about the distribu-tions and how many people we’ve touched, he’s over-whelmed with emotion.”

By Ruth WhiteBen “Beau” Foote, regional director for

Modern Woodmen of America, enlisted agents, their families and friends for a meal-packing event June 29 at the regional offi ce, 5915 Rutledge Pike.

“We’re excited to do our part to end hun-ger in the community,” said Foote. “I hope that it drives others to contribute to their local food pantries and shelters.”

The event supports Modern Woodmen’s Knock Out Hunger campaign, a national effort to prepare and donate 50,000 meals throughout the country. Modern Wood-men’s Tennessee East Region is tasked with packing 10,000 meals.

“It was truly shocking to learn of the food insecurity in Tennessee. With Knock Out Hunger, Modern Woodmen can touch lives and secure futures in our region – and around the country – in a huge way,” said Foote.

As a tax-exempt fraternal benefi t society, Modern Woodmen sells life insurance, an-nuity and investment products. Securities are offered through MWA Financial Ser-vices Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Modern Woodmen of America.

In 2014, Modern Woodmen and its members provided more than $19 million and nearly 437,000 volunteer hours for community projects nationwide.

Lissa McLeod guides intern Betty Mengesha on the fabric ropes.

By Shannon CareyYou could make the case

that our visit to Dragonfl y Aerial Arts Studio is the most fun our interns have had so far.

Teacher Lissa McLeod greeted the group and spoke about the studio and its mission. Then, she invited the interns to take a turn on trapeze and fabrics. There were smiles all around, and this old reporter even got in on the fun.

Dragonfl y offers a full range of classes for aerial arts and circus skills, includ-ing juggling, unicycle riding, tightrope, clowning, trapeze,

and of course those iconic fabrics. McLeod got into aerial arts during her activi-ties as a political organizer. She used the arts to convey messages, moving from huge puppets to stilt-walking.

“When I found aeri-als I was like, this is it,” she said. “There are a lot of things you can learn by getting off the ground and looking at things from a different perspective.”

The studio, located off Central Avenue Pike near Merchants, holds “try-me” classes every Monday night.

“All kinds of people can do it,” said McLeod.

Interns in the air

By Shannon CareyInterns passed a fun

afternoon on Market Square in downtown Knoxville, starting with a visit to the Knoxville Chamber. Communi-cations and Marketing Manager Jenny Wood-bery gave the interns a tour of the facility and a summary of what the Chamber does.

Of the Chamber’s more than 2,000 member busi-nesses, 80 percent are small, local enterprises. The Chamber helps ad-vise start-ups and advo-

cates for businesses in public policy.

Woodbery holds a journalism degree, so the interns’ visit was fun for her, as is her job writing for the Chamber.

“The variety of every-thing we do, it’s fun for me as a writer,” she said. “I get to write about everything.”

Interns visited the shops on Market Square, including getting Italian ice at Rita’s. Then, they walked through the alley on the east side of Mar-ket Square to admire the graffi ti art there.

Touring Market Square

By Annie Dockery Knoxville is the fi rst city

in Tennessee to adopt the Young Entrepreneurs Acad-emy (YEA), a program de-signed to give young people real-world business experi-ence. For three hours a week for 30 weeks, students from grades six through 12 have the opportunity to create their own real business or social movement.

Lori Fuller of the Knox-ville Chamber of Commerce explained that students will spend the fi rst few weeks brainstorming and develop-ing ideas. Additionally, stu-

dents will learn about pat-ents and business taxes from lawyers, while also learning market analysis. Students will implement knowledge to initiate their own real busi-nesses and work with poten-tial investors. The program will lead to regional and national competitions; the national winner will partici-pate in ABC’S “Shark Tank.”

The program has a lim-ited amount of space and little time left to apply; how-ever, spots are still avail-able. Info or to apply: www.knoxvillechamberberber.com/yea

Yea for YEA!

By Shannon CareySomewhere near the intersection of healthy

and delicious is where you’ll fi nd Matt Mill-er, owner and operator of Good Golly Tamale. Good Golly is a true mobile business, with Miller pedaling to different venues on his food trike.

Miller welcomed Shopper-News interns into the kitchen he uses in Knoxville’s Old City, where he and his help-ers make up to 1,000 tamales every week. Then he served us lunch, and it was fabulous.

But these aren’t the tama-les you get at the local diner. These are traditional Cen-tral American tamales, corn masa with natural fi llings wrapped in real corn husks.

“It’s a lot more nutritious than just cornmeal,” Miller said of the organic, non-GMO masa he orders in bulk from San Diego.

Good Golly got its start when a friend of Miller’s came back from a trip to Central America and wanted to make a burrito cart business. Miller, who had worked in food ser-vice for some time, wanted to be self-employed and got on board. The plan changed from burritos to tamales since burritos get soggy over time, but the corn husks keep ta-males hot and fresh with just a little steam. Then the friend moved to California, and Miller forged ahead.

“Pieces of it just started coming together,” Miller said. A neighbor gave Miller the trike, then a friend built the

warming box on back. He started making ta-males during the day at the Public House.

“We actually paid rent with tama-les,” he said. Good Golly is now us-

ing the kitchen in the former Aisle 9 grocery in the Old City.

And those delicious recipes? They come from the Lawson-McGhee Library and Miller’s head.

“I’m a pretty intuitive cook,” he said. “I read through a bunch of different recipes, and then I

just made stuff up and continue to make things up. We don’t really

have strict recipes.”Miller and his helpers

are committed to the busi-ness. Miller said he has put in 90 hours per week for the past month. Sometimes he

cart, think long and hard, because it’s a lot of work,” he told the interns. “But I like it. I like doing it. Whatever you want to do, just do it with all your heart and soul. It feels good to be able to own the work and care for it.”

When people think of Market Square they may think of the great shopping, delicious food, or the ever present street performers.

Few people think of the Tennessee women’s suffrage memorial, although it’s pretty hard to miss.

The memorial is the large metal statue of three wom-en, fi ghting for their right to vote.

heights. I sit up on the high-est branches of trees. When I rock climb I go all the way to the top. I am looking for new high places everywhere I go. Whether it’s simply sit-ting on the kitchen counter or hiking up a mountain and dangling my legs off the edge of a cliff, I love having my feet off the ground.

Naturally, I was psyched when I heard we would be going to Dragonfl y Aerial Arts Studio. Dragonfl y is a

nonprofi t that helps bring aerial arts to everyone. They work with people with dis-abilities, children from low-er-income neighborhoods, as well as people who simply didn’t think they could.

Lissa McLeod, a teacher at Dragonfl y, said Dragonfl y is about “getting everyone in the air” and helping people “learn they have strengths they didn’t know they had.”

At Dragonfl y, they teach many different aerial arts, in-cluding trapeze, lyra (a large hoop that gets suspended

from the ceiling), and my personal favorite, silks.

Not only are silks beau-tiful, they make you feel beautiful. While I was sus-pended in the air, hanging upside down with my limbs stretched out and my toes pointed, I felt like I could touch the corners of the world. I’ve always wanted to be a ballerina. I admire their grace and dedication to their craft. I’ve also al-ways wanted to fl y. Aerial arts combines the beauty and grace of dance and the

feeling of being free that be-ing up in the air gives you. I really hope I will get the chance to take classes at Dragonfl y and make aerial arts a part of my life.

Dragonfl y offers classes and camps to everyone over the age of 6. They also have scholarship and work/study programs for folks who need fi nancial aid. To fi nd out more, they have an open house coming up 7-10 p.m. Saturday, July 18. Info: www.dragonfl yaerial artsstudio.com.

Feminism then and now left) Elizabeth Avery Meri-wether from Memphis, Lizzie Crozier French from Knoxville, and Anne Dallas Dudley from Nashville.

Lizzie Crozier French was, among many other things, a feminist.

There are many facets to the modern feminist move-ment, and some of them are similar to the issues fought for in the time of Lizzie Crozier French. Back in the 1920s, women wanted to be paid the same as men for the same labor.

Today, although paying someone less because of their gender, race or religion is illegal, it still happens.

In the 1920s, women wanted the right to vote and have a voice in politics. To-day, less than 20 percent of U.S. Congress members are women, and we still haven’t had a female president.

And those are only the in-stitutional issues. There are a whole host of social con-structs that prevent women from having the same op-portunities and privileges

as men.Oppression of women ex-

ists, and we need feminismto help change that.

Unfortunately these daysyou hear the word feminismwith a negative subtext.With the “#FeministsAr-eUgly” trend on Twitter andthe term “feminazi” beingused to describe just aboutany woman who stands upfor her rights, being a femi-nist is diffi cult.

Too often, women whostand up for themselvesand their rights are metwith death threats andthreats of sexual assault.

No one should ever bethreatened for wanting equality. Being a feminist ishard these days, and manywomen don’t call them-selves feminists because ofthe stigma surrounding themovement.

The dictionary defi ni-tion of a feminist is “a per-son who believes in the so-cial, political and economicequality of the sexes.”

Now what’s so bad aboutthat?

current top 40, spirituals and the most challenging, ‘Bohemian Rhapsody,’” he says. “This cast is up to the music, choreography and teamwork needed to bring a great night of entertain-ment and laughter for the audience.”

Roberts is well-known for his past portrayals of former embattled state Sen. Stacey Campfi eld, whose antics have provided years of fodder for the Follies. Campfi eld will be “honored” with a retrospective featur-ing parodies of the songs “Thanks for the Memories” and “My Way.”

Also honored – for real – will be senior Knoxville News Sentinel sports colum-nist John Adams. In a career spanning more than 30 years, Adams has been named to the Tennessee Sports Writers Association Hall of Fame and the East Tennessee Writers Hall of Fame.

Other parodies include “It’s All About That Bass,” referencing bestselling au-thor Dr. Bill Bass of UT’s Body Farm; “Vote Mad-eline,” a tribute to Mayor Rogero sung to “I Walk the Line”; “Ghostworkers,” sung to the tune of “Ghost-busters,” about the Knox County Trustee scandal; and a brilliant “Republican Rhapsody,” which skew-ers not only Republicans but, well, pretty much ev-erybody. “We’re an equal-opportunity offender,” says Lauver.

Directed by the Clarence Brown Theatre’s musical di-rector, Terry Silver-Alford, the show brings down the house every year, and this year will be no exception.

Masters of ceremo-nies will be Lori Tucker of WATE-TV, John Becker of WBIR-TV and Alan Wil-liams of WVLT-TV. The show will also feature mete-

orologists from local TV sta-tions singing “Let It Snow! Let It Rain! Let It Blow!”

And it’s all for a good cause. Follies proceeds fund journalism and elec-tronic media scholarships at the University of Tennessee and Pellissippi State Com-munity College, as well as educational programs of the Front Page Foundation.

The 37th annual Front Page Follies starts at 6 p.m. Saturday, July 18, with a cash bar/reception followed by dinner, live auction and the stage show.

Individual tickets are $125, and a portion of each purchase is tax deductible.

By Betsy PickleThe clash between art

and the machinery of celeb-rity has rarely had as tragic a trajectory as it did with Amy Winehouse.

That’s the takeaway from “Amy,” the poignant new documentary directed by Asif Kapadia.

“Amy” fi nds the everyday voice behind the amazing performing voice of the su-perstar who died less than two months before her 28th birthday in 2011. As a docu-mentary, it’s a remarkable accomplishment – a fi lm created primarily from ex-isting material, much of it from low-tech cell-phone footage, without the talking heads of a traditional doc.

Kapadia has the experts – family, friends and asso-ciates who knew Winehouse best – but he uses voiceovers instead of on-camera inter-views so that he can keep the focus on the singer and show her three-dimension-ality. He also illustrates her story with performances

that chart her deserved rise and disastrous fall.

Those who watched from a distance might have been aware of Winehouse’s blue-sy, non-prefab voice but dismissed her as a musical force because of her highly publicized problems with drugs and alcohol. Fans took her more seriously, but even they wouldn’t have been privy to the insights provided in “Amy.”

Many of those come from Winehouse’s oldest friends, Juliette Ashby and Lauren Gilbert, and her fi rst man-ager and friend Nick Shy-mansky. There are also rev-elations from more famous folk, such as her friend Ya-siin Bey (aka Mos Def) and collaborator Tony Bennett.

The story that emerges is of a precocious yet sensi-tive girl from North London whose parents’ divorce cre-ates a chasm in her own life. That event echoes through her adolescence on into her teens, when rebellion and self-destructive habits form

Also opening …In addition to “Amy,”

three other fi lms make their Knoxville bow this week:

“Self/less” – Ryan Reyn-olds, Natalie Martinez, Mat-thew Goode and Ben Kings-ley. A wealthy man dying of cancer has his consciousness transferred into the body of a healthy young man.

“Minions” – Voicesof Sandra Bullock, Jon Hamm, Michael Keaton. Minions Stuart, Kevin and Bob are recruited by a woman with world-domi-nation aspirations.

“The Gallows” – Re-ese Mishler, Pfeifer Brown, Ryan Shoos. Teens attempt to honor the anniversary of a school tragedy and instead unleash evil.

Friends Juliette Ashby and Amy Winehouse explore music to-

a dangerous but creative al-liance with her poetry/lyr-ics and songwriting.

While the demons are there, the young Amy is fun and, in a way, normal. She uses songwriting as a sort of therapy, but her talent gets her noticed, and she starts down the road to a music career.

As Kapadia highlights Winehouse’s lyrics on the screen, using them as the

narrative, she makes her rise from obscurity. A play-ful relationship with drugs grows serious. Boyfriends become another form of de-pendency.

She welcomes success but worries about it. Some of her comments are eerie foreshadowing of the turns her life will take.

“Amy” could have been the ultimate cautionary tale, but it isn’t. It’s viscer-

By Carol ShaneThe wiseguys of local me-

dia are at it again.Writers David Lauver,

Mark Harmon, Megan Jones, Frank Murphy, Er-nie Roberts, Melanie Staten and Vince Staten will be part of a big cast that’s go-ing to bring their irrever-ent script to life at the 37th annual Front Page Follies, happening Saturday night, July 18. You’d think the show would, in theater lin-go, be “frozen” by now, but head writer Lauver is still penning parodies. That’s the nature of news satire – you’ve got to keep up with incoming stories.

“We still have at least one more song to complete,” says Lauver. “For the Lady Vols’ ‘Leggo Our Logo’ skit, we’re writing ‘Stand By Our Brand.’” Skits are often tabled when a more up-to-date, gotta-be-covered news event happens.

Sponsored by the East Tennessee Society of Pro-fessional Journalists, the evening begins with a cash bar/reception and includes a silent auction, good food and a live auction. The eve-ning’s main event is the vaudeville-style, multime-dia musical show, similar to those put on by political satirists The Capitol Steps, but on a local level.

Cast member Ernie Rob-erts is jazzed about this year’s show.

“The music is more di-verse than ever before with movie and show tunes, country music, yodeling,

ally personal and uniquely loyal to its subject. Even with potentially stereotypi-cal villains on board – a self-serving father, a loser beau, various music-biz movers and shakers – and Winehouse’s own blatantly bad choices, this is not a template for a reap-what-you-sow parable.

“Amy” is a portrait of an artist who was pushed into a role she wasn’t prepared to play. It’s also an indictment of the circus that comes with fame, but it doesn’t feel a part of that hypocrisy.

A tribute to the talent of Winehouse, “Amy” re-veals the person behind the hype and the loss the world should feel over her untime-ly death.


By Bonny C. MillardWith the Rotary Club of

Knoxville poised to cele-brate its centennial later this summer, club members wel-comed the 102nd president, Sandy Martin, during its in-stallation ceremony.

Martin and the other 2015-16 offi cers and directors were sworn in and will lead the club through the Centennial Celebration, which anticipates the arrival of Rotarians from around the world. Rotarian Frank Rothermel administered the oath of offi ce.

“I’m really excited about this year. This is a huge year for us,” Martin said. “It is our centennial year – 100 years. I hope you all realize

how special that is because there are over 34,000 Ro-tary Clubs in the world, and we are 181 in the United States. We have great cel-ebrations coming up.”

Martin presented outgo-ing president Roy King

a plaque and a gift for his service. King thanked club mem-bers for their sup-

port and work on club activities during the past

year including strategic vi-sioning and planning for the Centennial Celebration. The club also received a vo-cational training grant that led to a medical training program and trip to Zimba-bwe earlier this year, which King helped coordinate.

The other offi cers in-

stalled include Allen Pan-nell, president-elect; Ed An-derson, vice president; Bill MacGrath, secretary; Jen-nifer Sepaniak, treasurer; and directors Jim Decker, Don Hasson, Brent Midyett, Jody Mullins, Tiffany Walk-er and Ginny Weatherstone.

Club members Phil Mitchell and Sepaniak were named Four Way Test Ro-tarians of the Year for their work with the Zimbabwe project. Mitchell wrote the grant and coordinated the project.

Martin, as one of her fi rst offi cial acts, bestowed a Paul Harris Fellow on her husband, David, for his as-sistance and support on re-cent Rotary trips and other Rotary business.

By Sherry WittThe summer of 2015 is

off and rolling for the local real estate and lending m a r k e t s . And if June was any in-dication, it could be a record set-ter. The m o n t h ending on

Tuesday, June 30, brought 1,173 property transfers to Knox County – nearly 200 more than June 2014. The data continued to show an upward trend in real estate activity that began in early spring.

The total value of land transferred was a whopping $345 million, easily sur-passing May’s healthy ag-gregate of $218 million, and making June the largest month for transfers since October 2011 when the St. Mary’s medical facili-ties were sold to Tennova. Last June about $207 mil-lion worth of property was transferred in Knox County.

The spring surge in mort-

gage lending translated to a summer spike in June, as $483 million was borrowed against real estate – a 57 percent increase over last June’s fi gure.

The largest real estate transfer recorded was the sale of property owned by University Residences-Knox-ville LLC, located at the in-tersection of Cherokee Trail and Edington Road. The resi-dential complex sold for $42 million to Quarry Trail LLC. That particular transaction also produced the largest mortgage loan of the month, a Deed of Trust in the amount of $31.5 million.

At the year’s midway point, the data are indicat-ing a clear improvement over 2014 in both real estate sales and mortgage lend-ing. As of June 30, approxi-mately $1.26 billion worth of property has sold in Knox County, compared to about $981 million a year ago. Mortgages and refi nancing have produced total lend-ing of more than $1.9 billion in 2015, compared to $1.38 billion at the six- month mark of 2014.

News from Offi ce of Register of Deeds

June brings bumper crop

By Julie MasseyThe Knoxville Associa-

tion of Women Executives, a social networking organi-zation for business and pro-fessional women, recognizes outstanding women in the community by presenting the Lucy Webb Gibson Nota-ble Woman Award each year.

This award is named for the member who initiated the creation of the award, Dr. Lucy Webb Gibson.

KAWE is proud to an-nounce that Dr. Liane B. Russell is the winner of the award for 2014. Rus-sell is retired from Oak Ridge National Labora-tory, where she and her husband made fundamen-tal scientific contributions to basic genetics. She also developed various assay systems for mammalian mutagenesis. One of these, the “mouse spot test,” has received use worldwide as a prescreen for heritable mutations.

Russell received the En-rico Fermi Award for her outstanding contributions to genetics and radiation biology, including her dis-covery of the chromosomal basis for sex determination in mammals and her con-tributions to our knowledge

of the effects of radiation on the developing embryo and fetus. Her fi ndings, and their implications for humans, have been the benchmark for the study of mutations in mammals and for genetic risk assessment worldwide.

She co-founded Tennes-see Citizens for Wilderness Planning, a statewide envi-ronmental advocacy orga-nization, in 1966. Under her leadership, the organization was a prime agent in estab-lishing the Big South Fork National River and Rec-reation area and the Obed National Wild and Scenic River.

She received the presti-gious Marjorie Stoneman Douglas Award of the Na-

tional Parks and Conser-vation Association. At 90 years old, Liane continues to edit the widely acclaimed TCWP Newsletter.

She was born in Vienna, Austria, and she and her family fl ed the Nazi gov-ernment to London and then to the U.S. She had a loving, committed mar-riage for many decades, ended only by her husband’s death. They had two chil-dren, traveled widely and enjoyed their Watts Bar Lake cabin. She has a wide circle of friends and family whom she continues to visit all over the country. She still visits the cabin, paddles, swims and walks a mile most days.

KAWE also presents

a scholarship, named in honor of the late Dr. Marcia Katz, to students who show great promise. This year’s recipient is Whitney Smith, a nuclear engineering major at UT. She has been a top-ranked student and has had several internships in nucle-ar energy including study in the Czech Republic.

The Southern Associa-tion of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges has granted Lincoln Memorial University approval to de-liver a master of public ad-ministration degree program beginning this fall at the LMU-Duncan School of Law, 601 W. Summit Hill Drive, in downtown Knoxville.

Recently, a large crowd gathered for the ribbon-cutting ceremony, and the Hemsleys’ son, Logan, did the honors. Throughout the offi ces, therapy rooms and meeting spaces, wildlife an-imal murals, by local artist Terina Gillette, decorate the walls, offering a welcoming atmosphere.

began when Logan, now 5, was diagnosed shortly before he was 3 years old,

leaving them fl oundering as they searched for help. The services they found all had

waiting lists of six months to a year. Early intervention is critical to the success of the child, she added.

“It was very stressful to get this kind of diagnosis and then feel powerless.”

The loss of services left a void that the Hemsleys want to fi ll. At Child Ther-apy Services, children are diagnosed and receive ser-vices including applied be-havioral analysis, speech and occupational therapy, in-home services and social engagement. Dr. William Allen, who diagnosed Lo-gan, is part of the team.

The Hemsleys have three other children: Rachel, 15, Rebecca, 13, and Hatcher, 2.

NEWS FROM PARKWEST, WEST KNOXVILLE’S HEALTHCARE LEADER • TREATEDWELL.COM • 374-PARK

When an artery is narrowed, weakened or blocked, blood has more dif� culty � owing through the veins, which may cause the artery to burst or a lack of blood � ow to the heart. A stent is placed by threading a cath-eter through a blood vessel in the arm, groin or neck, so open-ing the chest is not necessary. When the catheter reaches the narrowed section of the artery, the stent is expanded to allow blood to � ow more easily.

“The stent is engineered to have constant outward pressure on the artery, so the blood can continue to � ow,” Amy Dale, RN, CCM, Parkwest Cardiac Rehab case manager, said. After the catheter is removed, Dale explained, “the body will heal around the stent in the artery and reduce the chance it will become blocked again.”

The cardiologist chooses a stent speci� cally for the patient

depending on the amount of blockage and the size of the ar-

tery. Stents are made of metal mesh and largely coated in m e d i c a -tion that p r e v e n t s scar tis-sue, which helps keep the ar-tery open. C h a n g e s

in lifestyle and diet, like eat-ing more nutritiously or quit-ting smoking, can reduce the amount of plaque build-up in arteries.

For more information about stents and Park-west’s cardiac services, call (865) 374-PARK or visit w w w.TreatedWell.com/CardiacServices.

Hudson on the stationary bike at Cardiac Rehab.

Mastering maintenanceAl Hudson is a woodworker.

He lives alone and spends time in his shop every day working on new pieces. “I don’t build them to sell,” he said. “I build them to give away.”

Al Hudson is 96 years old.“The more I work at this

marvelous and wonderful craft of woodworking, the more I realize how little I really know about it and how far I have yet to go with so little time remaining,” Hudson wrote at age 79, in 2003. “In my shop I take a piece of wood just as it is. I remove the rough surfaces. I remove the knots and defects. I smooth it out, polish and finish it. It has been changed.”

Today, Hudson continues to learn more about the craft his father first taught him in 1934, during his sophomore year of high school. In September 2006, he was honored with the only Master Class award given since the creation of the East Tennessee Woodworker’s Guild, which recognizes a woodworker who has shown excellence in craftsmanship, strives for perfection and willingly teaches others his skill. The group renamed the award in his honor.

Just last fall, Hudson’s active lifestyle and ability to woodwork were in jeopardy. On Sept. 12, 2014, he began to feel pressure in his chest. He couldn’t take a deep breath and knew something was wrong. Hudson was having a heart attack. He didn’t have any prior cardiac symptoms or issues.

“I was taken to the Emergency Department at Parkwest and treated with unbelievable promptness,” Hudson said. He then had two stents placed in his heart by A.

If you’re hospitalized with heart disease, your doctor may recommend cardiac rehabilita-tion. Getting professional help in your recovery is important, and patients have a right to choose the place where they get it.

Karen Kirkland, RN, CCM works with patients in the Park-west Medical Center Cardiac Re-habilitation Outpatient Program at Fort Sanders West. Patients who have experienced a cardiac event are prescribed a program of education and exercise to help their recovery and improve their odds for avoiding future visits to the hospital.

“It boosts their confidence level, too,” Kirkland said, “and lessens their anxiety.”

Patients meet with a case manager for evaluation and usu-ally follow a schedule of three days a week for 12 weeks. The process includes meeting with

an exercise physiologist for a program specifically tailored to the patient’s personal needs and

ability. E x e r c i s e

can include t r e a d m i l l s , arm ergome-ters, station-ary bicycles, e l l i p t i c a l m a c h i n e s , weights and steps. Each patient wears a heart moni-tor and is c o n s t a n t l y

being evaluated. The exercise program is updated as the pa-tient progresses.

Cardiac Rehab also includes classes covering topics like cook-ing heart healthy foods and in-terpreting what’s on food labels at the grocery store.

While some patients may be-lieve they can complete the ap-propriate exercises without com-ing to rehabilitation, Kirklandexplained, the benefits in healthand wellness gained at CardiacRehab change their minds.

“Although some patients mayhave exercised before their car-diac events and think they knowhow to maintain a healthy heart,many change their minds afterattending Cardiac Rehab,” Kirk-land said. “With our help, theylearn the best way to exercisespecifically to improve the func-tion of their hearts.”

You can learn moreabout cardiac rehabilita-tion and heart health atTreatedWell.com under theClinical Services section,or call Parkwest MedicalCenter Cardiac Rehab at(865) 531-5560.

What is a stent?

Amy Dale, RN, CCM

Cardiac rehabilitation 101

Karen Kirkland, RN, CCM

Robert Blacky, MD, Parkwest cardiologist. The stents pushed the blockages in his arteries away, allowing blood to f low again. The devices are minimally invasive, so open heart surgery was not required.

Thirty days after his procedure, Hudson began attending exercise classes at

Parkwest Cardiopulmonary and Wellness Rehabilitation Center as part of the first phase of his recovery process. Three days a week for 12 weeks, Hudson was monitored while using a variety of machines in the Cardiac Rehab exercise room on the Fort Sanders West campus. “By the end of each hour, I felt winded

but somewhat exhilarated,” Hudson said. “It felt good and the staff was attentive and willing to help in any way they could.”

As part of Cardiac Rehab, patients’ heart rates are recorded as they exercise. A physician is always on stand-by and can provide immediate medical care if necessary.

After Hudson finished his 36 visits of prescribed rehabilitation, he chose to continue going to Cardiac Rehab. Any patient can choose to continue attending for a low monthly cost and is no longer hooked up to a heart monitor while exercising.

“If a patient in the maintenance phase is feeling tired or is suddenly out of breath, we can evaluate the heart rhythm and see why that’s happening,” Amy Dale, RN, CCM, Parkwest Cardiac Rehab case manager, explained. “If you were at a regular gym, they wouldn’t be able to do that, and medical problems may go undetected.”

Hudson has benefited from the clinical environment. At one of his maintenance visits, he experienced shortness of breath and fatigue. The staff monitored him and determined that his heart was out of rhythm. He was immediately transferred to Parkwest for inpatient care.

“He’s so determined,” Dale

said. “Every time he meets an obstacle, he is motivated to get back and get stronger. If there’s ever a problem in the future, we will be able to respond immediately.”

For now, Hudson continues to return every Monday, Wednesday and Friday on his own, before he gets back to woodworking for the day. He is currently working on two chairs, which are part of a dining set he intends to give to his daughter, Emily. Hudson doesn’t have any persisting cardiac problems and continues to live on his own and gain strength. “I just have the usual aches and pains. I come back to Cardiac Rehab because I like to,” he said. “It’s good for me.”

One of Hudson’s award-winning creations.
