IN THIS ISSUE Sullivan’s meatloaf This time of year, it’s not a good idea to upset your momma. For that reason, we suggest that, if discussing the meatloaf you just ordered at Sullivan’s Fine Foods at Rocky Hill, you tell her it is “almost as good as yours.” You’ll be lying, because my momma made the best meatloaf in the world, and Sullivan’s is better than hers.

Dumb mistake

WATE’s decision not to renew its contract with longtime popular news anchor Gene Patterson has to be one of the dumber mistakes any television station could make. WATE is now owned by Media General which has its corporate office in Richmond, Va. WATE ratings are down so their solution is to terminate the most popular newscaster they have. Incredible logic and shows the corporate office in Richmond is clueless about its Knoxville market.

Second Presbyterian to split By Betty Bean The congregation of one of Knoxville’s oldest – and most visible – churches is in the process of breaking up over disagreements with its national governing body over social issues, primarily samesex marriage. In a letter to Bryan Wilson members of Second Presbyterian Church dated Nov. 8, Senior Pastor Bryan A. Wilson announced his intention to resign effective Nov. 30, a decision that he called “difficult and painful.” “… I can no longer, in good conscience and with theological integrity, continue as a teaching Elder (minister) in the Presbyterian Church U.S.A. (PCUSA),” Wilson said. Wilson will join the Evangelical

Covenant Order of Presbyterians (ECO) as part of the leadership team of “a new missional church forming in our city that will launch next month.” He quoted Philippians 1: 3-6, Paul’s farewell to the church in Philippi. “Paul had to have penned these words with tears of joy and sadness dropping onto his manuscript, because that is what is happening to me as I type these words to you. I love you, Second Presbyterian Church. May you continue to pursue all that God has for you!” Second Presbyterian was founded in 1818 when it broke away from First Presbyterian Church over issues as spiritual as original sin and as temporal as collecting rent on pews. Lifelong member Bo Shafer said he and other members are not ready to talk publicly about the schism within the imposing church on the highest hill along the pricey

stretch of Kingston Pike between Neyland Drive and Bearden. However, he made it clear that he is not happy with the direction chosen by the national organization. “The PCUSA has changed what the Bible says and approved samesex marriages and all that sort of stuff. A lot of folks don’t agree with that. There’s a whole bunch of stuff going on, but we’ll need to wait and see,” he said. When asked if it will be traumatic to leave the only church home he’s ever known, he said, “I’m much more a believer in the Bible than I am in rules. I believe everything the Bible says.” Attorney Billy Stokes, a member of Second Presbyterian for 20 years, said what’s happening is “heartbreaking for a lot of people.” He too is unhappy with some of the dictates from PCUSA, but not so much about gay marriage. “I am more upset by the PCUSA

deciding that we as a denomination should somehow follow the BDS scheme of boycott, divest and sanction Israel over Palestinian issues. I am a strong supporter of Israel’s right to exist, and I wish that it could exist in peace for a while. I would have to betray my own conscience to support any organization that is anti-Israel, especially with the shape the world is in right now.” There are currently 162 congregations and 263 pastors that have joined ECO, according to the organization’s website. The only church in Tennessee so far is First Presbyterian in Greenback. It’s a difficult (and expensive) process to leave PCUSA to join ECO: Leaving PCUSA requires permission from the presbytery of which a church is a member, which has a legal claim to the real property and improvements occupied by the church.

Ex-commissioner gets stormwater post By Betty Bean James McMillan has been a high-profile, persistent critic of the way local government handles stormwater runoff issues, both city and county. Rarely has he doled out compliments. Last week, the Shannondale farmer broke form when he heard that Knox County has hired Tony Norman to a $28,000 per year part-time position as an NPDES (National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System) coordinator. “Tony will add a needed degree of honesty and integrity to Knox County’s engineering department, something they have had a very limited supply of, till now,” said McMillan. Norman started work Nov. 3, two months after completing two terms on County Commission, where he championed teachers who have been protesting Superintendent James McIntyre’s reform agenda. As a science teacher with

Knox County Schools for more than 30 years, he developed an awardwinning ecology class at Farragut and continued it at West High School, where he directed hands-on studies of Third Creek. As a commissioner, he spent more than three years chairTony Norman ing the controversial Joint City/County Task Force on Ridge, Slope and Hillside Development and Protection that developed new regulations to curb environmental damage done by developers. Predictably, the hire has raised eyebrows. Commissioner Sam McKenzie expressed his displeasure at a meeting last week, and there was grumbling that the former commission chair, who is widely expected to be a candidate for school board in 2016, is being “rewarded” for his persis-

tent opposition to McIntyre’s policies, an allegation that Engineering and Public Works Director Dwight Van de Vate said is unwarranted. “Tony has a sound science background. He has a background in environmental policy and a solid general understanding of the science behind what we are responsible for doing in stormwater,” Van de Vate said. “He has good communication skills – specifically, the ability to write. Keeping dynamic, relevant, current web content is important. Many folks with engineering backgrounds, communication is not their forte. “Tony is a skilled public speaker with the ability to articulate complicated concepts clearly. He’ll be talking to elected officials. He will look at how peer jurisdictions manage their bonds and letters of credit and see if we can incorporate some of their practices. Not everybody can make those calls

effectively and ask the right questions. I’m confident Tony will excel with assignments like this, and we’ve started already.” He also said there are things Norman won’t be doing: “He won’t be involved in education outreach that involves Knox County Schools. He won’t be involved in regulation of the construction trades. I’ve got eight folks who do that very well. Our bench is deep.” Norman said he’s not surprised that some have criticized his hiring. “I’ve known these people (in county engineering) for 20 years,” he said. “I spent 30 years in water quality – it’s like my calling – where my heart is.” Then he laughed and said: “I don’t want to go back into teaching. I don’t think I’d last a week (back in the school system). So when this came open, I said yeah, and really think my resume ought to be able to withstand (criticism).”

Corks for a Cause pours on support for Summitt fund By Sherri Gardner Howell

Lynn Lowery and Rebecca Abbott catch up at the fundraising event.

A good idea – with a good payoff – deserves repeating. When the Marsh Professional Group kicked off the inaugural Corks for a Cause last year, the certified public accountants and financial advisers had a dual purpose of having a fun event and giving back to the community. This year, Marsh, with presenting sponsor Tellico Marina, held the event on Nov. 13 at Hunter Valley Farms and chose the Pat Summitt Foundation’s fight against Alzheimer’s disease to benefit from the profits. “Many of our clients have been touched by Alzheimer’s, whether through a spouse or an aging parent, as well as my own grandparents,” says Yvonne Marsh.

Rocky tops Geology tells th the he story of Tennessee By Wendy Smith Don Byerly agrees with 18th-century geologist James Hutton − every rock has a story. Tennessee is composed of a variety of rocks that tell many stories, says Byerly, a University of Tennessee professor emeritus of geology. Some of their tales are in his book, “The Last Billion Years: A Geologic History of Tennessee.” He discussed the book at last week’s East Tennessee Historical Society Brown Bag Lecture. Nearly three quarters of the earth’s history had transpired before Tennessee’s history began. The area was “shoved into position” by plate tectonics between 300 million and 250 million years ago. Plate tectonics, or continental drift, is the main unifying theory of geology. The coming together and breaking apart of the earth’s plates explains a lot of phenomena, Byerly says. Over the last billion years, Tennessee’s landscape has changed many times. Parts of the state once resembled the Bahamas, the Himalayas or the Mississippi Delta. Geologic forms, like a stream channel visible in the rocks near Monterey and casts of salt cubes, created by evaporated salt water, near Greeneville show how different the state once was. “The present is the key to the past.”

Variety iss o ne of the one prominent characteristics of Tennessee’s geology, he says. The state has three distinct geologic areas, and they have influenced the state’s history. In the eastern division, rocks are metamorphic, or changed by heat pressure, and deformed, due to plate tectonics. The area is mountainous, and the geography resulted in a culture of independence. The oldest rocks in the state are found in the Roan Mountain area. In the state’s central division, most rock is limestone, and caves and geodes are common. This area produced a more communal society, he says. Unconsolidated sediment is most common in Tennessee’s western division, and it is made up of the state’s youngest rocks − 65 million years old or younger. Between East Tennessee’s marble and West Tennessee’s clay, the state has the bathroom industry covered, he said. Byerly’s intention when he wrote the book, available at Amazon.com, was to create a Cliff’s Notes version of Geology 101 that could be understood by the general public. The East Tennessee Historical Society Holiday Open House will be 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 13. Activities will include live music, craft demonstrations, crafts for kids, and storytelling. The free event includes tours of the museum. For more info: 215-8824.

Don’t tell me how the story ends In the front row of my music file is a Ronnie Milsap recording of a Kris Kristofferson song, “Please Don’t Tell Me How the Story Ends.” It popped up, unsolicited, when I thought of Jacob Gilliam and his final home appearance on behalf of Tennessee football. I know enough. I don’t need to know the ending. Maybe Jacob will become a coach or a business leader. He is a winning warrior. I believe he will be successful at something. I hope he is happy. I hope he can walk. Nothing like Jacob Gilliam has happened in my most-of-a-lifetime monitoring of the Volunteers. Other walk-ons have exceeded expectations, earned scholarships, achieved starting status. Nick Reveiz and a few others became captains. Maybe one beat out a junior college all-American and took his job, but I don’t remember that. I’m almost certain nobody ever played offensive tackle on one good leg and a torn knee ligament in the other. That Jacob wanted to try was stunning. It said his

Marvin West

love of football went beyond lip service, a bit deeper than touching the motivational sign on the way from the dressing room to the playing field and repeating the promise, “I will give my all for Tennessee.” It said he cared more for the team than himself. Ordinary people, when damaged, hobble off to a hospital and hope an orthopedic magician can make necessary repairs. Jacob skipped the surgery and started rehabilitation as soon as the swelling went down. It may have hurt. That Jacob made it back was a shock. He showed up on the sidelines at practice. I mistook that for loyalty. He attended meetings, keeping up with instruction. Suddenly, he was involved in limited workouts. He ran slowly. He never was a speedster. He is 6-4 and 290. Half of that is heart.

That he recovered enough to reclaim the starting job was amazing. I considered the possibility that Butch Jones has a sentimental streak and was simply rewarding courage and determination. That wasn’t it. The offensive line was better with Jacob Gilliam (and Joshua Dobbs). Don’t bother with how this story ends. It is already better than most movie plots. This guy was good at Farragut High. He had scholarship offers to smaller colleges. He wanted to go to Tennessee. He was thrilled when 2009 line coach James Cregg invited him over for conversation. Alas, when Gilliam arrived, there was no greeting. Cregg was gone – with Lane Kiffin to Southern Cal. A very nice Derek Dooley said Gilliam could walk on. He was a redshirt in 2010. Most of 2011 was lost to a shoulder injury. In 2012, he got in for two plays at the end of the Kentucky game. He said that was very meaningful. I said he had outlasted Dooley. Gilliam was second team last season, behind Tiny Richardson. He played briefly in two blowout losses.

This spring, day after day, he had to prove he was capable. He beat out Dontavius Blair, 6-8 and 313, the handpicked replacement for Richardson. Astounding what effort and smarts and fierce determination can do. Gilliam C oach Jones awarded a scholarship. Much earlier Jacob had earned the respect of teammates. He started the season opener against Utah State. He suffered the torn ACL. “It’s very, very unfortunate,” Butch Jones said. “I feel for him … I love him to death.” Cruel conclusion? The end? Not exactly. Cheering is not permitted in the press box, under threat of expulsion, but when Jacob Gilliam jogs onto Shields-Watkins Field for the last time, I’m going to risk it. Yea! Quietly. Nothing like this has happened in my time. Marvin West invites reader reaction. His address is westwest6@netzero.com.

Health is more than absence of disease, says Buchanan By Wendy Smith Some of the best work of the Knox County Health Department happens outside the walls of the its three facilities, says Director Martha Buchanan. Most people think of vaccinations or treatment of STDs when they think of the health department. But a quick browse through the KCHD website reveals an array of services, from a school dental program to tips on how to keep well water safe. Buchanan is most proud of the way the organization works within the community. Through recent efforts, the health department has improved the city’s walkability, helped people grow their own fruits and vegetables, and fostered a sense of community. “We’re empowering people so they know they have a voice in their own health.” She was a family-practice doctor for seven years before joining the KCHD 11 years ago. She has been director for four years. KCHD employs 250 and has a total budget of $25 million. Local government provides 75 percent of funding, and the remaining 25 percent comes from federal and state government and grants. The health department includes talented, passionate staff who go into the community to develop relationships and building trust, allowing them to gauge a neighborhood’s health needs, like playgrounds or safe places to walk. Health is about more

are public-health detectives who track down causes of infectious disease and investigate patterns of illness, like cancer, she says. One of the roles of the health department is to think through the unthinkable, like flu pandemics or an outbreak of Ebola. Strategies are in place for such circumstances, but prevention is the primary objective. In the case of Ebola, the county gets information Dr. Martha Buchanan speaks from Homeland Security to a civic club.

They It’s a balancing act between

privacy and public concern, she says. It’s important to err on the side of caution, but if someone has no symptoms, there is no risk of infection. The health challenges in Knox County are the same as those across the state. Obesity is one. Another is making sure that everyone, from inner-city families to wealthy suburbanites, can be healthy if they choose to be. It’s a problem that can only be addressed through engagement, which requires reaching out to decision-makers as well as the community. We’re changing how we view healthcare, and everyone needs to be better informed, Buchanan says. “There’s a learning curve there.”

Prayer for Jacob By Marvin West Behind Jacob Gilliam’s unlikely comeback from a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee are deep family faith and hours and hours of prayer. Nathan Gilliam, Farragut High football senior, believed it when his older brother declared his Tennessee career was not finished. “I actually thought he would make it back,” said Nathan. “We prayed so much for that.” Three weeks after the injury, Jacob returned to the Tennessee practice field. “I remember thinking, ‘Wow!’ ” said Nathan. Vol line coach Don Mahoney had other thoughts – about work ethic, passion and desire. “This really is who he is and what he stands for, and it’s just hard work and tremendous character … it’s not a surprise.” Forty-nine days after

the injury, Jacob played against Ole Miss. A week later he regained a starting job. “I am so proud of him,” said Nathan Gilliam. He said Jacob’s recovery “feels like a miracle.” The Gilliam family – parents David and Michelle, their three football gladiators (Alex is the baby brother) and a very special grandmother – relied on their faith. Honey Rock Victorious Church was the focal point. The Gilliams met with the worship leader and his family every Thursday for intensive prayer. Nathan tells of “the laying on of hands.” Jacob believes those prayers and support from hundreds of others led to healing. He says he has been blessed with strength and stability in the knee. He says there has been very little pain. Teammates are in awe. “Dude’s tough,” said tailback Jalen Hurd.

Thunder Road revisited I recently voted in Farragut’s early voting, and one of the controversial issues this year is allowing wine to be sold in Farragut’s grocery stores. This issue reminded me of a similar referendum in 1961 when Knox County voted to legalize whiskey sales in package stores and, and finally, liquor by the drink in 1972. Referenda to legalize whiskey sales in Knox County date to 1941, and the proposal was placed on the ballot five times during that 20-year period until it was finally approved. The vote brought together two interest groups that would normally oppose each other; most Christian ministers opposed legalization based on “moral issues,” and area bootleggers opposed it for economic issues. But the real losers when the vote carried were the whiskey runners. Many kids considered these fearless drivers to be heroes, and for rural mountain boys, it was an occupation that could quickly lift them out of poverty. Of course, one such driver’s adventures were the subject of the 1958 movie “Thunder Road” starring Robert Mitchum, and I dare say there were few teenagers who missed seeing this flick because it involved “souped up” Fords that most kids dreamed of owning. But the real “Thunder

Road” that spurred the beginning of NASCAR racing occurred in 1954 when I was a sophomore in high school, and one of my classmates was witness to the event. John Fitzgerald related the story many times, and many who have written about the famous crash consider John’s account the most credible. John had stopped to air up his bicycle tires when he became aware of a crash just down the road. He could see a fire and knew something big had happened. Police officers related the story to him. The driver was well known to authorities, who had nicknamed him Tweedle O’Twill. There had been two roadblocks set for the elusive driver. Since the authorities were not sure which road he would take – Papermill or Kingston Pike – the first roadblock was set up just a few hundred yards west of the intersection. The second roadblock was at the present-day Gallery shopping center. Through his driving skills and some luck, he To next page

Womick has challenged Speaker Beth Harwell for the GOP nomination for House Speaker to be decided by the GOP caucus in December. Womick represents the anti-Haslam faction of the House GOP caucus. This writer contacted all six Knox Republican lawmakers as to whom they planned on supporting at the December caucus. With the exception of Bill Dunn, all said they were voting for Harwell. They are Harry Brooks, Ryan Haynes, Eddie Smith, Martin Daniel and Roger Kane. Dunn said he simply did not disclose his vote. However, he added that he thought Harwell had done

an excellent job as speaker and thought she would be re-elected. That is Dunn’s way of saying (without saying) that he is for Harwell. ■ Gloria Johnson should not be counted out as a future candidate just because she lost the state representative race. Her loss actually occurred in two precincts outside the city at South-Doyle and Mount Olive, whereas she carried the city portion of her district by 900 votes. She could easily be a viable candidate for City Council in the November 2015 city elections. The four council seats up are the three at-large seats, held by George Wallace, Finbarr

On Nov. 6, Mooreland Heights Elementary School principal Roy Miller sent a similar email to a group of teachers warning them of the consequences of not having SAT-10 numbers to enhance their scores. On Nov. 10, board member Karen Carson, McIntyre’s strongest board ally, shot off an email to board chair Mike McMillan objecting to the Nov. 3

vote because she believed the motion on the floor was broader than the meeting notice and therefore fatally flawed – “Please let me know when I can expect resolution to this unfortunate error in procedure.” Uh, maybe never? Meanwhile, Sanger told Channel 10’s Mike Donila that she won’t vote to reinstate SAT-10. Without Sanger’s vote, there won’t be a majority willing to reinstate the controversial testing of Knox County’s youngest students.

Saunders and Marshall Stair, or the district seat held by Mark Campen. Campen has the lowest profile of the four incumbents and had no opponent in the last election. If she ran for the Campen council seat, she would be a very strong contender. However, Johnson wants to be chair of the state Democratic Party, but that would not prevent her from serving on City Council, which currently only has one woman, Brenda Palmer, who is term limited in 2017. She is not alone in wanting the state position. Former U.S. Senate candidate Terry Adams is mentioned along with Linda Sherrill, who opposed U.S. Rep. Scott DesJarlais on Nov. 4. ■ One consequence

of the Johnson defeat may be that Tammy Kaousias leaves the Knox County Election Commission in April. The current law provides that the Democratic lawmakers from Knoxville recommend the two Democratic election commissioners. When Joe Armstrong and Johnson were the two lawmakers, they simply picked one each, and Kaousias was the Johnson choice. With Johnson gone, Armstrong will get to recommend both positions. He is free to choose Kaousias again, or he might choose someone else as it is totally his choice. ■ Tony Hernandez, who covers Knoxville city issues for the News Sentinel, is departing for Oregon. He will be missed.

Thunder Road was able to get around the first roadblock and probably thought he was in the clear, but when he saw the second block, he knew this one would be much harder to break. The road and grade have been altered since the early ’50s, when a steep red clay bank was on the south side of the Pike. His intent was to jump a ditch, climb the bank and somehow bring his car back to the road past the roadblock. But jumping the bank broke the tie-rods on his car, making it impossible to steer. The car careened across the road and ran through a chain-link fence surrounding an electrical substation. Sparks from the substation ignited the broken whiskey bottles, creating an inferno. And as the song says: “The

From previous page devil got the moonshine and the mountain boy that day.” During my youth, Dixie Lee Junction was a favorite gathering spot after a football game. And part of the entertainment was watching whiskey haulers come through at high speeds. A widely-known bootlegger owned a fleet of black Mercurys. The cars had exhaust headers that could be heard several miles down U.S. Highway 70. Running out of Nashville, they always ran four or five together and maybe only one or two actually contained bottled whiskey. The other cars were used as decoys or to block police cars so the cars with the whiskey could get away. The moonshine usually came out of North Carolina or Kentucky, while the bottled whiskey came from

Nashville or Bristol, Va. The border between Tennessee and Virginia runs through Bristol, but whiskey was legal in Virginia and illegal in Tennessee. So the bootlegger could simply buy whiskey by the case in Virginia and deliver it to Tennessee. Today, diners can enjoy cocktails at most restaurants. I suspect the younger generation would find it amusing that liquor was so hard to get not so long ago. Private clubs often sold whiskey at high prices. Some restaurants allowed you to bring your own bottle but supplied expensive setups. And I bet the younger generation would find it even more amusing that 60 years ago, people risked their lives to deliver whiskey to markets that are now served by distributing vendors.

CAK military mom is

Veterans Day speaker

CAK’s Junior Praise choir sings in honor of Veterans Day

Major Ashley Nickloes stepped to the podium during CAK’s 2014 Veterans Day Program with her Bible, a folded American ﬂag and a few notes. She quickly declared that she was honored to present and that she wanted to talk about the three things she loved the most: her Lord, her family and her country. As an aircraft commander / pilot of KC 135 air refueling tanks, Nickloes has served in Operation Noble Eagle, Operation Uniﬁed Protector and Operation Enduring Freedom supporting the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. She enlisted in

1998, and her husband Todd is a retired Lieutenant Colonel in the U.S. Air Force. Without question, the Nickloes family has dedicated their lives to serving this great country. After sharing a few stories of some of her many missions, reiterating how her faith in God pulled her through time and time again, Nickloes concluded and there wasn’t a dry eye in the CAK’s Campus Center gymnasium. Nickloes is a mother of four, including CAK Students Joshua (5th grade) and Maeve (4th grade). She talked about the many missions her

children had participated in (while they were in utero of course), and how they, too, should be considered veterans. In fact, for so many that serve our country, it is the families that also sacriﬁce so much. Veterans Day is a special day for many across the country, and at CAK that is no different. The campus was sprinkled with red, white and blue, and the concert band, Junior Praise, High School Ensemble and High School Choir performed as part of the program.

Caring for community Bearden UMC puts fun in commitment By Nancy Anderson Carman Licciardello brought his unique Christian show to Knoxville Christian Center last week and entertained and inspired a sold-out crowd of more than 1,000. Photo by Nancy Anderson

Sold-out for Carman Carman Licciardello bills his show as simply “Carman,” and he can’t really offer a cohesive definition of what “kind” of Christian music show it is. Neither can his reviewers. Billed as contemporary Christian rock, it’s more rap. The message is delivered with a pinch of television evangelist and a healthy dose of Las Vegas showman. Whatever you call it, Carman had a soldout crowd of 1,000 fans on the edge of their seats and then on their feet at his concert at Knoxville Christian Center on Nov. 14.

With the recent Veteran’s Day on everyone’s mind, Carman included a ballad in honor of American vets that brought the audience to its feet with applause. Coming up at Knoxville Christian Center, 818 Cedar Bluff Road, is their annual Giant Thanksgiving Dinner with Mike Southerland on Sunday, Nov. 23. This free event offers services at 9 and 10:30 a.m. with special music by Southerland, then a full Thanksgiving dinner with all the trimmings after the 10:30 service. There is no charge. Info: 690-6565

Bearden United Methodist Church leaders had a perfect name for a fun event they wanted to do for the community. Rev. Sherrell Boles coined the phrase that has stuck through three years of fun: Care-nival. “We wanted to call this special day of fun, fellowship and enjoying God’s blessings something that reflected the way we felt

about our neighbors and our community,” says Boles. “So we called it ‘Care-nival,’ because we care about our community.” Care-nival features games, food, music, contests and exhibits that offer both activities and information for parents and children. “Everything is free,” says organizer Jennifer Taylor. “It is the church’s opportunity to minister to the

community outside of our four walls. It gets bigger and better every year.” There seem to be no losers in the contests that featured everything from guessing the number of candy corn in the jar to a giant game of Jenga. Carnival games were a favorite, as was the popcorn and cotton candy. Approximately 75 attended the event, which was held at the church on Nov. 2.

Proton Therapy explained By Bonny Millard The Provision Center for Proton Therapy, which opened earlier this year, provides cutting-edge proton radiation treatment for cancer patients and is quickly making Knoxville a national medical destination. David Raubach, vice president of operations for Provision, spoke to the Rotary Club of Farragut about the center’s aggressive treatment, which reduces side effects associated with conventional radiation treatment. The center, a nonprofit treatment facility, was founded by Knoxvillian Terry Douglass. Proton therapy provides more precise targeting of cancer cells, destroying them while minimizing damage to surrounding tissues. Raubach explained that protons are heavier and can be stopped after entering the body. This way the protons are directed and concentrated in the tumor.

X-ray radiation therapy sends beams that travel all the way through the body, damaging healthy tissues, he said. Proton therapy has been around for a long time, gaining FDA approval in 1988, but the cost was almost prohibitive, he said. The Provision Center, part of the Provision Health Alliance, is located on a campus with several other medical facilities at Dowell Springs off Middlebrook Pike. “The goal was to create a world-class cancer campus here in Knoxville,” he said. A cyclotron, used in the treatment process, weighs

Neil told the Town Hall East gathering about a recent incident that shows the need for the program. “A little lady drove into the parking lot at Kroger’s,” Neil said. “When she was ready to go into the store, she couldn’t remember how to get out of her car. Soon a crowd gathered around, all trying to tell her how to unlock the doors. “Then the fire truck showed up.” Neil called that a dementia emergency that stresses the sufferer, confuses bystanders and burdens family caregivers. She said the alliance’s developing programs will help address these concerns. “We need to be teaching our community the basics of dementia and how to respond,” Neil said. “I call it CPR for brain disease.” The programs being developed will train businesses, churches, police, firefighters and other emergency personnel to be aware of and to respond to someone suffering a public crisis. The kickoff celebration is scheduled for May 11, 2015, on Market Square in downtown Knoxville.

Let’s ‘friend’ people with dementia Knoxville goes by a lot of labels: “Big Orange Country” for UT sports, or “Scruffy City,” an insult that has turned into a point of pride. Now a group of health-care professionals is determined to paint Knoxville purple, making it Neil the nation’s first official dementia-friendly city. Carolyn Pointer Neil unveiled the broad outline of the Purple Cities Alliance to a Town Hall East meeting on Nov. 11. Neil, who is president of Elder Advocates in Knoxville, is one of the public fronts for the project, which aims to alert Knoxville organizations and individuals to the needs of people with brain-related illnesses. “The Purple Cities Alliance wants to make our community aware of the people with dementia in our midst and educate everyone to respond in ways that are helpful and compassionate,” Neil said. The project uses purple from the “Purple Angel” icon, developed in Europe as a marker for dementia awareness and concern.

The organization that has been known as the Rotary Club of West Knoxville for the past 32 years, has reverted to its original name: the Rotary Club of Bearden. Bob Ely, a founding member of the club which was chartered on Dec. 10, 1959, said the group changed its named from the Rotary Club of Bearden to the Rotary Club of West Knoxville with the approach of the 1982 World’s Fair in Knoxville. Ely explains that club members believed Bob Ely the inclusion of the word “Knoxville” in the club’s name would make it easier for visiting Rotarians to find so they could attend the requisite weekly meeting. When the club was chartered it was the third Rotary club in the county, preceded by the downtown Knoxville Rotary and South Knoxville Rotary. The charter banquet was held March 4, 1960, at the C’est Bon restaurant on Alcoa Highway. Gary West is the current president of the Bearden club, one of 34,282 Rotary clubs worldwide. The organization is known for its community service and its humanitarian projects, including the PolioPlus campaign which has raised millions of dollars to end the dread disease. Rotary International has a membership of more than 1.2 million. The Rotary Club of Bearden meets at noon on Fridays at Buddy’s Banquet Hall, 5806 Kingston Pike.

Working with all of the major health-insurance providers (Cigna, Humana, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Aetna, etc.), Enroll Health will review a person’s situation and show them all of the options available to them for free. They will even determine if that individual qualifies for subsidies to offset the cost of their coverage. The entire process takes only minutes and costs nothing.

‘Mockingjay’ lands early, offers marathon The phenomenon rolls on as “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part I” opens in theaters at 8 p.m. tomorrow.

Commander Paylor (Patina Miller), Gale Hawthorne (Liam Hemsworth), Boggs (Mahershala Ali), Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) and Pollux (Elden Henson) stay on their toes in “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part I.”

Betsy Pickle

According to Fandango and MovieTickets.com, the third film in the “Hunger Games” saga has racked up the highest advance tickets sales of 2014. Tickets went on sale Oct. 29. Don’t be surprised to find several showings sold out this weekend. The story, based on the third and final novel in Suzanne Collins’ trilogy, picks up where “Catching Fire” left off. Having destroyed the Hunger Games, Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) reluctantly becomes the face of the rebellion in Panem. Katniss continues on her quest to kill Panem President Snow (Donald Sutherland), but meanwhile she has serious trust issues with District 13 President Coin (Julianne Moore), as well as with several allies. Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Woody Harrelson, Elizabeth Banks, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Stanley Tucci and Jeffrey Wright also star. The second part of “Mockingjay” will be released in November 2015. To prepare fans for the latest entry in the “Hunger

Games” series, several theaters will have a “Hunger Games” marathon Thursday, showing “The Hunger Games” and “Catching Fire” before culminating with “Mockingjay – Part I” at 8 p.m. Regal’s Pinnacle, Riviera and West Town and Cinemark’s Tinseltown in Oak Ridge will start the event at 2:30 p.m. But those itching to be first should go to Carmike’s Foothills in Maryville, which will start the marathon at 2 p.m.

“Queen Rock Montreal,” aka “We Will Rock You: Queen Live in Concert,” will have one showing on the big screen, 7 p.m. Monday, Nov. 24, at West Town. The documentary shot in 1981 shows the band at its peak during a tour stop in Canada. Tickets are $12.50.

Nashville Jewelry designer coming to knoxville Nashville jewelry designer Vincent Peach is coming to Knoxville on Saturday, November 22, from 10 to 5 for a special one-day-only trunk showing of his beautiful jewelry pieces at UPSTAIRS at Todd Richesin Interiors. This will be a unique opportunity to get an early start on shopping for the perfect Christmas present for you or someone you love. Vincent combines each pearl with other natural, organic elements to create a collection featuring the highest quality pave’ diamonds, rhodium chains, vermeil, sterling silver, and hand woven leather. Inspired by the designer’s Nashville roots and intertwined with the romance of luxury travel, the Vincent Peach jewelry collection is uniquely hand crafted and one of a kind. Combining the casual elegance of leather and the extraordinary beauty of freshwater and black Tahitian pearls, the bohemian chic collection is artistically crafted to create a feeling of comfort and ease. With each piece unfolds a store evoked by a fascination with pearls. Vincent’s work has received national attention and

has been featured in Vogue, US Weekly, the New York Times, and other major publications. His designs are no strangers to stars such as Miranda Lambert, Carrie Underwood, Reba McEntire, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Connie Britton, and Taylor Swift, all who are photographed regularly wearing his amazing creations. What we love most are his contrasting combinations like softly worn and woven leather and Tahitian pearls; or Baroque freshwater pearls woven onto sterling silver stringing; and his stackable stretch bead bracelets of wood and pearls. He is combining pave’ diamond orbs on his necklaces as well, and mixing in his interest in ancient coins by using the coins as clasps for some of his work. His collection has a unique feeling of

comfort, ease, and sophistication. Vincent creates jewelry pieces for both men and women and the trunk show will feature both. One of the best parts of Vincent’s work is the value. His connections with the world pearl market allow him to price his designs in a way that represents an unparalleled value. Also at UPSTAIRS during the Vincent Peach Jewelry Trunk Show will be featured the inspired holiday collection of Christmas decorations and gifts owners Bobby Brown and Todd Richesin have selected for this holiday season. UPSTAIRS is your holiday headquarters with gifts for everyone on your shopping list, holiday décor to make your home festive and fabulous jewelry to wear to all those holiday parties.

Plate it This time of year, it’s not a good idea to upset your momma. For that reason, I suggest that, if discussing the meatloaf you just ordered at Sullivan’s Fine Foods at Rocky Hill, you tell her it is “almost as good as yours.” You’ll be lying, because my momma made the best meatloaf in the world, and Sullivan’s is better than hers. Here’s the thing about meatloaf. It’s either schoolcafeteria bad or slap-yomomma good. There really isn’t anything in between. For all its façade of simplicity, meatloaf is hard. It can be “too” on so many levels: too mealy, too dense, too soupy, too tomatoey. Then, even if you get it right, you have to deal with the essential topping. Brown gravy or tomato? If brown, mushrooms or peppers? If tomato, ketchup or

First, the Oak Ridge Playhouse presents “Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella.” Those of a certain age will remember the 1965 production with Lesley Ann Warren being waltzed around the ballroom by Stuart Damon as both sang, “ten minutes ago I saw you …” Those of an even – ahem – more certain age may remember the same scenario with Julie Andrews and Jon Cypher in 1957. Featuring such songs as “In My Own Little Corner” and “When You’re Driving Through the Moonlight,” this show is a joy from start to finish. My own favorite is the “Stepsisters’ Lament,” sung by the disgruntled siblings after the prince has been taken with Cinderella’s beauty: “She’s a frothy little bubble with a flimsy kind of charm; and with very little trouble, I could break her little arm!” “Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella” begins Friday, Nov. 21, and runs through Sunday, Dec. 7.

playhouse.com or call 865482-9999. Knoxville Opera presents its first production of the 2014-2015 season with Gilbert and Sullivan’s “H.M.S. Pinafore.” “This classic comedy is known for its familiar melodies as well as clever wordplay that dares to poke fun at politics and authoritative figures in a delightfully provocative way,” says KOC maestro and executive director Brian Salesky. “People of all ages will enjoy the music, characters, elaborate stage setting and costumes.” The plot plays out aboard a naval ship and centers on the conflicts of love between people from different social classes. The opera takes jabs at the British class system, party politics, the Royal Navy and the ironic rise of unqualified people into authority; even the title injects humor by using the name of the female pinafore garment in reference to the masculine naval warship.

Brian Deedrick of Edmonton Opera in Alberta, Canada, directs the show. He’s well known and loved by Knoxville Opera Company fans and participants. Production manager Don Townsend says, “Deedrick is hilarious as always to work with and has even written some snappy new dialogue for the cast … adding in local gags dealing with UT football, etc.” Townsend is also upbeat about the cast. “Sean Anderson, who sang here recently, is back as a befuddled Captain Corcoran, and Donata Cucinotta is his daughter, Josephine, who is in love with Ralph, tenor Josh Kohl. “But the real star of the show is old friend Steven Condy, who helped inaugurate the first Rossini Festival back in 2002 as Don Magnifico in Rossini’s ‘La Cenerentola.’ Condy is wonderful as the British Lord of the Admiralty, Sir Joseph Porter, who has come

to claim Josephine as his bride.” Local luminaries include University of Tennessee voice professors Lorraine DiSimone and Andrew Wentzel, as well as a 16-member chorus. Having worked for Knoxville Opera Company myself in the past, I can tell you that opera singers – contrary to their “diva” image – are actually some of the nicest, most fun-loving people you’ll ever come across. They’ll be throwing themselves full-tilt into this spectacular production, and you’re invited to join in. Performances are at 8 p.m. Friday, Nov. 21, and 2:30 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 23, at the Tennessee Theatre. Maestro Salesky will host a special opera preview session 45 minutes prior to each performance.

Q&A

John McMillan recently spent a week at Concord visiting with our theatre arts and graphic design classes. What are the unique features of this project and the objectives for our students?

John McMillian discusses the role for a creative professional.

It’s an amazing opportunity for our students to go to the only school in Tennessee with a partnership with a Hollywood production company. Having an executive from Hollywood Connect and Zero Gravity Pictures, like

John McMillan, is invaluable to the classroom experience in our theater arts and multimedia courses. Through this partnership our students will not only be taught by their classroom teacher but also creative professionals who are in the arts and entertainment industry every day. Our students get to network with people who are in the industry while they are still in high school. Through this program they can determine if a career as a creative professional is truly their calling or not.

Teacher Appreciation First production for Week at Concord This has been a special week on the Concord Campus. Students and parents have been showering the teachers and staff with kind words of afﬁrmation, yummy treats as well as beautiful gifts.

The CCS Theatre Arts Department is working on its first production. “A Seussified Christmas Carol” is a whimsical reinvention of Dickens’ most beloved Christmas story in wacky rhymed couplets. With zoot fruited juices and binka bird geese, from Bed-Headed Fred to Timmy Loo Hoo, this tale of glorious holiday cheer is similar to something Dr. Seuss might have come up with -- if he ever had his way with the story. This one act play is a comedic take of Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol.” Many of the Concord students are acting in their first roles for this production. With a cast of sixth through 12th graders, director Christi Watson has seen incredible teamwork in her cast. Experienced students are coming alongside the younger actors and all are eager and working hard at rehearsal. By doublecasting the lead roles, each evening’s performance will be unique. When asked about her objectives for this first production, Watson said, “Theatre arts teaches bravery, teamwork, discipline and creativity like nothing else. Theatre arts is also an amazing vehicle to

ASTYM treatment gets nurse back on her feet As a home health nurse for Covenant Health, Shawn Peterson relies on being able to stand for hours, move easily to assist patients and drive long distances. “I have to have my feet to do my job,” she said. “But I could barely even walk.” After struggling with foot, ankle and calf pain for months, Peterson was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis in both feet. The condition is caused by an increase in tension in the arch of the foot, usually due to physical activity or wearing unsupportive shoes. The arch is supported by the plantar fascia tissue, which can tear and send sharp pains through the foot and up into shins and calves. People who work on their feet like Peterson are at a higher risk to contract the condition. “Shawn had a chronic injury for more than a year,” Jerrod Adams, Parkwest physical therapist, said. “She tried different treatments to resolve it, but nothing worked.” During one physical therapy appointment, Adams spoke to Peterson about ASTYM, in which he and another Parkwest Therapy Center staff member are certiﬁed. The treatment is used to address a wide variety of diagnoses, including shin splints, shoulder pain and plantar fasciitis. “I read all about it and saw that professional athletes use it, so I wanted to try it,” Peterson said. “I just wanted to get better, whatever it took.” Twice a week for four weeks, Peterson’s physical therapy stretches and strengthening were supplemented by the ASTYM Sys-

tem, an evidence-based treatment that uses external pressure to break down damaged tissue. Each session, Peterson’s feet, calves and shins were treated by the ASTYM plastic tools, which come in three different shapes and sizes to address different body parts. Though the pressure is intense, Peterson said that it “hurt so good. They have to apply enough pressure to make a differ-

What can ASTYM treat? Damaged scar tissue can result from trauma, surgery, repetitive strain and immobilization. By addressing the soft tissue that has become dysfunctional, ASTYM can help rebuild it and prevent further injury. The most common diagnoses that can beneﬁt from ASTYM treatment are:

The studies show real physiological changes on the cellular level of the tissue,” Adams explained. “Patients make measured improvement in pain levels and ability to function.” For Peterson, these physiological improvements translate into improved quality of life and the ability to get back on her feet comfortably. “I had so much pain every day just walking and driving,” she said. “I had grown to living in pain day-to-day. Now the pain is gone. You don’t realize how important your feet are until you can’t use them.” To be considered for ASTYM treatment, the patient may be referred to the Parkwest Therapy Center by any physician, nurse ence, but it’s very relaxing in the end.

Six tips for proper shoe fit Wearing old or unsupportive shoes can cause issues in your feet, calves, knees and hips. By considering the following tips when you go shoe shopping, you may be able to limit the likelihood of injuries and conditions like plantar fasciitis. 1. Shop late in the day. You may not notice, but your feet are actually larger later in the day. Make sure to shop in the afternoon or evening to get shoes that will fit you all day long. 2. Measure your feet. Even if you’ve always been a size 8, have a sales associate measure your feet to confirm your size. Shoe size changes along with weight and age. 3. Flex the shoe. The bottom of your shoe should flex at the ball of the foot, not in the middle. 4. Choose the right shoe for your activity level. Walkers need a flat heel because they land on their heels. Runners

land mid-foot and require the extra stability and support of a ﬂared heel. 5. Don’t rely on “breaking in” your shoes. Shoes should be comfortable when you buy them. Uncomfortable shoes can cause you to change your gait and possibly lead to injury. 6. Take your old shoes with you. Wear patterns of your old shoes can help the sales associate determine the proper shoe for your stride. If you are already experiencing foot or leg pain, make an appointment at the Parkwest Therapy Center to speak with a physical therapist. The staff can help you rehabilitate your injuries and prevent them in the future. They can also provide advice and exercises to increase strength, correct gait and maintain a healthy lifestyle without the risk of injury.

Unique additions to the home and distinctive gifts for the season will be featured including functional, sculptural, traditional, contemporary and whimsical works of clay art. The Madres whose work will be included in the 2014 Holiday Show & Sale are: Gray Bearden, Judy Brater, Pat Brown, Jane Cartwright, June Crowe, Tina Curry, Susan Cwiek, Candy Finley-Brooks, Amy Hand, Janet Harper, Liz Howell, Lisa Kurtz, Stephanie Levy, LeAnn Lewis, Jane Longendorfer, Wendie Love, Sandra McEntire, Bett McLean, Jackie Mirzadeh, Marion Schlauch, Rose Spurrier, Shauna Stevens, Linda Sullivan, Rikki Taylor and Belinda Woodiel-Brill. Terra Madre is a juried group of women clay artists that was founded in 2000 by

Oak Ridge potter Linda Sullivan’s “Wheel Thrown Bottle” female ceramic artists from East Tennessee. Its mission is to support members in the pursuit of their dreams as artists and as women. Terra Madre members are affiliated with many juried and professional arts organizations. Collectively, the group exhibits in two to three shows annually. Individually, their work has been exhibited all over the country and can be found in galleries, shops, juried fine craft shows and fairs, as well as in many private art collections. For more information about the Terra Madre Shows, see the group on Facebook.

East Tennessee woman ‘still Nana’ after stroke In January 2014, Deborah Grantham of Jones Cove, Tenn., 59, woke up with what she feared were the symptoms of a stroke. “I got up that morning and my left arm felt like it was asleep, numb, it just didn’t feel right,” said Grantham. “My daughter kept calling me, checking on me. She kept asking, ‘Do you think you’re having a stroke?’ I said, ‘I don’t know, but I’m getting a little scared.’ ” Grantham did not want to go to the hospital, but her daughter took her anyway. They arrived at the emergency department of LeConte Medical Center in Sevierville, where physicians conﬁrmed she had indeed had a stroke. “I didn’t want to go to intensive care,” said Grantham. “First, I don’t have insurance, and I also didn’t want to be away from my grandchildren. My grandson is on the autistic spectrum, and I knew he was going to be hard to handle. I’ve never been too far from him.” But a stroke is a serious medical event. And after a week in the hospital, Grantham learned she would need even more intensive physical, occupational and speech therapy at a rehabilitation center. “They asked me if I would be interested in going to the Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center if I had

a scholarship,” she said. “I was very interested because I knew how good they were. My husband, Bill, was there seven years ago, when he had his left leg amputated below the knee. They helped him so much.” The Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center offers some scholarships for patients without insurance, provided by private donations and funds from the annual Patricia Neal Golf Classic. So Grantham spent another week away from her family, working to regain the use of her left arm. She followed up with four months of outpatient visits as well. The results have been dramatic, she said. “They helped me learn how to do a lot of things for myself, like how to take my bath. At ﬁrst I couldn’t use my hand at all. But since I’ve been in therapy, I got back a good bit of use of my hand. It’s not perfect, and it’s going to take some time, but it’s so much better than it was.” Grantham said she has focused

on doing household tasks. “I have learned to use the electric can opener; I have made my bed. I am folding clothes, but that is still a hard job. They’re not perfect but they’re folded! I sweep my ﬂoors, wash my dishes, I have mopped my ﬂoor – that’s not easy.” Grantham said the staff at PNRC tries to make therapy fun. “You work hard, but you don’t have time to feel sorry for yourself because you’re so busy! We played games that were good for your brain, but you don’t think about what it’s doing for you,” she said. “The Patricia Neal staff was wonderful to me, and I would recommend them to anybody. I had excellent care. All the nurses came when I needed help. They were wonderful,” Grantham said. Today she is back at home with her husband and enjoying her 12 grandchildren who live nearby. “My 4-year-old granddaughter says, ‘Nana, let me hold your hand you had a stroke in.’ They don’t think any different, I’m still Nana.”

Deborah Grantham works with occupational therapist Tom Johnson on strengthening her hand while grasping and releasing objects. Grantham suffered a stroke in January and has made great strides in therapy at Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center.

Recognize the signs of a stroke FAST! The early symptoms of stroke are often overlooked or ignored. If you suspect that you or a loved one is having a stroke, think FAST:

F – FACE: Look at your face. Is one side sagging? A – ARMS: Hold out your arms. Is one arm lower than the other or harder to hold in place? S – SPEECH: Is your speech slurred or garbled? T – TIME: Time is critical when trying to minimize the effects of stroke.

Call 911 and get to a hospital as quickly as possible. And be sure your hospital is a stroke-ready, Comprehensive Stroke Center, like Fort Sanders Regional.

Stroke Belt keeps Knoxville doctor busy Ask Dr. Keith Woodward what life is like in the Stroke Belt, and he’ll give you a oneword answer: “Busy!” It’s no wonder – in 2012, Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center’s Comprehensive Stroke Center treated 455 patients for stroke. In 2013, it averaged 35 to 40 strokes per month. Woodward’s department treats about 100 of those patients per year. “Those are very high numbers,” Woodward said. “We are in the buckle of the Stroke Belt, and stroke volumes are high here. Of course, this is much higher than all other facilities due to Fort Sanders’ comprehensive stroke center certiﬁcation and the Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center being here.” Too, the risk factors for stroke – high blood pressure, smoking, sedentary lifestyle and the Southern diet of “fried everything” – are all higher here. When Woodward came to Knoxville, no one could perform procedures inside the arteries of the brain. He was particularly concerned when a local high school football player collapsed with a stroke and had to be sent to Asheville, N.C., because that was where the closest doctor was that could treat those disorders.

“I decided to go back and complete additional training to perform these procedures in the brain,” Woodward said. When he returned in 2005, patients no longer needed to travel to get the best stroke care. Now at Fort Sanders Regional for a decade, he is currently chairman of its Acute Stroke Team and Medical Director of the Neurovascular Research Center of East TenDr. Keith Woodward says advances in stroke treatnessee.

The procedure has come a long way over the years. “The tools are so much better – six-hour procedures to remove clots have been reduced to now commonly less than 30 minutes,” Woodward says, adding speed is vitally important when treating strokes. That is because the longer the clot remains, the longer the brain is without blood and oxygen. As a result, the cells in the affected area begin to die, affecting whatever functions that area controlled. “More often than not, stroke damage is permanent,” says Woodward. “However, it almost always improves over the ﬁrst six months after a stroke. Rehab is the key during that period to help the brain recover.” Busy though they may be, Woodward says his days are not without their rewards. One of those, he said, is when “I can see a person unable to walk or talk, and 24 hours later, they can go home from the hospital.”
