“I wasn’t a big fan of the wedge salad when it first hit restaurants several years ago. I mean, your prep chef doesn’t come in one morning, so you quarter a head of lettuce, drizzle it with dressing and call it ‘trendy’?” Thus writes Shopper-News’ newest writer, The Mystery Diner, who talks about a lettuce wedge posing as dessert.

‘ROUND TOWN
If you see a teal pumpkin on a porch on Halloween, it’s not a whimsical décor statement. It’s a reminder that some foods can be dangerous for certain children but that kids will find safe treats at that home. FACET – the Food Allergy Community of East Tennessee – created the Teal Pumpkin Project to encourage people to have alternatives to candy for kids who can’t take a chance on collecting food items. Small toys or fun versions of school and art supplies are examples of “treats” people can offer. Teal is the color for food-allergy awareness. FACET encourages people offering Halloween treats to turn on their porch lights and display a teal-painted pumpkin – either real or plastic – to indicate that they have nonfood treats for children with allergies. Wafa Sulaiman of Farragut plans to have both teal and natural pumpkins on her porch. She likes to decorate, but she also knows what it’s like to worry about trick or treating. Her son Yousef, 5, is allergic to several foods. His twin, Hassan, is not. Wafa and husband Rame dis-
“Bumblebee” Hassan and “Optimus Prime” Yousef Sulaiman are ready for Halloween. Photo by Betsy Pickle

for veterans
Lovell ramps complete, TDOT moves to Campbell Station
The Farragut Folklife Museum will host a reception to honor local veterans on Tuesday, Nov. 11, from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. at the Farragut Town Hall.
By Sandra Clark Rain threatened and the interstate noise was typically loud, but spirits were high when Tennessee Department of Transportation Commissioner John Schroer brought a busload of support staff and public officials to tour the justcompleted lane and exit ramps on westbound I-40 at Lovell Road. The $2.86 million project was let to Rogers Group Inc. on April 4, 2014. “This portion of I-40 at Lovell Road was the narrowest in width through Knoxville, creating a bottleneck,” officials said. The project was first proposed in 2010 and was funded through the “ramp queue program.”
Veterans are invited to view the “Honoring Our Veterans” exhibit and enjoy light refreshments. The exhibit – which also closes on Nov. 11 – features artifacts from various branches of the military and numerous wars, including the Korean War, Vietnam War, World War I and II and Desert Storm. The majority of the artifacts in the exhibit were donated to the museum by the U.S. Naval Reserve Center in Knoxville in 2013. Other items are on loan from museum committee members as well as Major Brian Tobler, who served the United States Special Operations in Iwo Jima, Desert Storm and Iraq.
The right-of-way was wide enough to accommodate an additional lane, according to TDOT traffic engineer Nathan Vatter. TDOT will begin improvements to the I-40/75 interchange at Campbell Station Road today (Oct. 22). This $3.28 million project is a TDOT safety project to meet immediate needs at this interchange. The westbound exit ramp will be lengthened and will receive an additional exit lane, allowing for more vehicles to exit safely, according to town of Farragut officials. Improvements will also be made at the eastbound exit, including a new traffic signal to al-
low traffic to turn safely off the exit ramp as well as enter the entry ramp. This project is funded by the Highway Safety Improvement Program and is expected to be complete in June 2015. Concerns about the construction can be addressed to TDOT at 1-877-SmartWay. Schroer reminded attendees that Tennessee is a pay-as-we-go state, not issuing bonds to build roads. As a result, Tennessee has the least per capita debt of any state and 100 percent of road funds are used to build roads, rather than pay interest on debt. Sen. Becky Massey and Rep. Roger Kane also attended.

By Wendy Smith The Farragut Municipal Planning Commission has made progress in its effort to define development that would be in line with a downtown. At last week’s meeting, the commission continued its discussion of changes to the General Commercial (C-1) Zoning District for areas identified in the Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) as a preferred location for a MixedUse Town Center (MUTC). MUTC is a hybrid between commercial development and true town center development, said Community Development Director Mark Shipley. While MUTC requirements are more flexible than those regulating town center development, the two should not be incompatible. MUTC zoning restrictions would apply only to new development or significant redevelopment.

excluded from MUTC but could be addressed later on an individual basis. The commission discussed a requirement that MUTC buildings be a minimum of two stories or have the appearance of being two stories. “I don’t want it to turn into a Hollywood set,” said St. Clair.

Southern Vogue KAMA Fashiondrama wows sold-out crowd By Sherri Gardner Howell
Courtney Massey Kohlhepp had a regal look on the runway for Fashiondrama.
Like a fine wine, the Knoxville Academy of Medicine Alliance’s annual Fashiondrama just keeps getting better with age. The 61st event was Tuesday, Oct. 14, at Cherokee Country Club, where a sold-out crowd enjoyed shopping at vendor boutiques and dining on a lunch of chicken and waffles before the models stepped out to showcase the fashion trends for fall. Expertly led by fashion consultant Kathy Hall, herself a 16-year veteran of Fashiondrama, the show did not disappoint in variety, pizzazz and elegance. Celebrity model was Nikki Tyndall, wife of University of Tennessee men’s basketball head coach Donnie Tyndall, who showed off styles ranging from jeans to dresses – none in orange! The event has its serious side, with proceeds from the show going to benefit local medical and health initiatives. KAMA supports the Free Medical Clinic, Interfaith Clinic, Hope Resource, CASA and East Tennessee Children’s Hospital and provides nursing scholarships for nine nursing colleges.
Excited to see all the hard work coming together are members of KAMA and the Fashiondrama committee. From left are Lorraine Johnson, Susan Brown, Jenny Bushkell, Cynthia Gash (KAMA president and Fashiondrama chair), Chandra Becker and Michele Maves.

What’s a PECCA: And where is ours? By Betty Bean
school district to start the collaborative conferencing process in October 2011 but may be among the last to fully comply. The school board delegated its authority to Superintendent James McIntyre. PECCA hasn’t been in the news lately. That, from the teachers’ viewpoint, is because nothing is happening. McIntyre, however, reports that things are going swimmingly, even though the deadline to produce a Memorandum of Understanding defining the process of dealing with teachers’ rights and benefits is fast approaching, and Knox County still doesn’t have one. “I’m pleased with where we are and hopeful about where we are going,” he told the school board at the Sept. 29 workshop. Nowhere in his upbeat, three-minute presentation was a hint of deadline pressure. Tanya Coates, president of the Knox County Education Association and leader of the teachers’ negotiating team, doesn’t share McIntyre’s optimism. She’s seeking divine intercession
and forbearance from Nashville: “I pray we make it before the end of November. … We’re in a gray area. I’m going to submit a petition to continue the process (beyond the November deadline).” She also said she doesn’t understand why the training period took an entire year. So what’s the holdup? LWV member Lance McCold sent the candidates an email after the forum, saying he’d been asked to leave one of the collaborative conferencing sessions. He wanted to observe the session with the approval of participating teachers. “What I saw was worse than the teachers had described. Then, after an hour and a quarter, the superintendent forced through a rule change that disallowed citizen observers. I was the only observer at that meeting. Below, I have copied the March 8 message I sent to the board. Only Pam Trainor acknowledged my email. The board took no action. “I encourage you to look

in on one of these PECCA meetings and form your own opinion.” Here is the lead to McCold’s email to the school board: “For months teachers have been telling me that Superintendent McIntyre is not negotiating in good faith during collaborative conferencing meetings. They said he was stalling and wasting time. When I asked if I could observe them, I was told that meetings had been open since the beginning.” Under state law, participants are required to come up with a Memorandum of Understanding by November 2014. The teachers have complied with every requirement of the new law, but the board will be hard put to meet its legal obligation to come up with an MOU by month’s end. One side advocates transparency and has jumped through all the required hoops to comply with the law. The other side, which chose McIntyre as its face and mouthpiece, has not. Fingering the scofflaw shouldn’t be a tough call.
been expended within eight years. Myers said he thought that time frame was too tight. Palmer said he would consult with Tom Hale, the town’s attorney, on the proposed time frame. The draft says that a letter of credit from an insured lending institution may be required for developments with more than 20 dwelling units. That would allow the town to draw the fee for each dwelling unit as a condition for a building permit or upon the sale of an un-

laiman says. “We tried to make it so that it’s fair between the two of them. “Obviously, we don’t want the exposure to come through Hassan. Because of the possibility of crosscontamination, Hassan also has to avoid these food items. We’ve explained it to him, and they watch out for each other.” The energetic 5-yearolds were looking forward to going to Oakes Farm to pick out pumpkins over the weekend. They already have their “Transformers” costumes and are ready for Halloween. They’ll trick-or-treat early and then come home to help hand out treats – either candy or nonfood items. Last year, the first year for the Teal Pumpkin Project, no houses in their subdivision had teal pumpkins. The boys donated their candy to a program that redistributes Halloween treats. “This year, hopefully, more people are aware of it,” said Sulaiman. The next meeting of FACET will be at 6:30 p.m. Monday, Oct. 27, in the Meschendorf Conference Room at East Tennessee Children’s Hospital. For more info, visit www.joinfacet.com.
improved lot. Commission suggested that 20 might be too high. Commission recommended that the ordinance be brought before the Farragut Board of Mayor and Aldermen with discussed changes. An approved minor amendment to the CLUP that updated the Open Space Cluster Residential portion of the future land use plan to include multifamily, as well as amendments to annex 1.55 acres
on Campbell Station Road and rezone an adjacent 33 acres to R-6/Open Space Multi-Family Residential Overlay, cleared the way for a proposed multi-family development just north of the Holiday Inn Express. The request was deferred at September’s meeting because a traffic-impact study was incomplete. The completed study showed that the development will not result in an unacceptable level of traffic on Campbell Station Road.

covered Yousef’s allergies when he was 2. He’d had an anaphylactic reaction at about 18 months; they later discovered it was to shellfish. At his 2-year-old check-up, they learned that he was allergic to peanuts, tree nuts and shellfish. Since then, they’ve found out that Yousef is also allergic to eggs and sesame. “Sesame’s the most recent,” says Wafa Sulaiman. “That’s a very difficult one because it is not labeled in ingredients. When you pick up a package and look at the ingredients, it can be labeled as a food flavoring.” For Yousef, eating any of the foods he is allergic to can have a life-threatening result, so his mom takes extra precautions. “A lot of these foods are so prevalent,” she says. “We’ve really come to the point where I take foods everywhere we go. If we’re at a birthday party, anywhere we go, if there is a chance of food being served, we bring our own food, just to be safe.” Hassan is sympathetic to his twin’s situation. “He’s really very understanding, and he’s understanding to the point where he knows if his brother can’t have it, he can’t have it,” Su-

The candidates for the District 2 school board seat are smart, accomplished women who were probably curve-busters as students, so it was embarrassing when moderator Matt Shafer Powell asked what they thought of PECCA at last week’s League of Women Voters forum. Nobody had an answer. To be fair, the moderator mispronounced it, but neither Charlotte Dorsey, Jamie Rowe nor Tracie Sanger knew what he was talking about. Powell explained that it was the Professional Educators Collaborative Conferencing Act, which has been state law since 2011 when the General Assembly stripped school boards of the authority to engage in collective bargaining with organizations representing teachers – mainly the Tennessee Education Association – and instead required them to set up something called collaborative conferencing to deal with issues like salaries, benefits, insurance and leave.

Knox County Trustee Ed Shouse looks over his staff’s biweekly pay stubs. Photo by Wendy Smith
Shouse pledges ‘no ghosts’ in Trustee’s Office When Knox County’s new trustee, Ed Shouse, meets with his staff, he provides soft drinks with money from his own pocket. Another staff member is kind enough to bring the cookies. He could use county funds to pay for the snacks, but he’s not going to do that, he says. It’s all part of his effort to save the taxpayers money − and earn their trust. Soon after he took office at the beginning of September, he told staff members to do what they were asked during the upcoming trials of former Trustee Mike Lowe and field auditor Ray Mubarek. “We’re going to move forward and learn from it. But it won’t happen again under my watch,” Shouse says. He personally looks over the pays stubs of the office’s 40 full-time and six parttime employees. There will be no ghost employees, he says, and there won’t be any bonuses awarded, which will separate his office from that of his elected predecessor, John Duncan III. Shouse is too busy looking forward to devote much thought to the mistakes of the past. A few short weeks after he took up his post, 200,000 tax bills were sent out. The office has collected more than $1 million in tax revenue virtually every day since then, he says. The majority of the bills are paid at the main office in the City County Building, but five satellite offices throughout the county also accept payments. His background in finance helps him manage the county’s money. Last year, investments brought in $1 million. The results are mostly market-driven, so he can’t promise to do better this year, but he won’t let the county’s money lie idle, he says. Shouse spent 18 years in the banking industry before buying a small railroad. He went on to work for Gulf &
Wendy Smith
Ohio Railways for 15 years. During both careers, he worked with a broad spectrum of people, and that experience helps him manage the office’s large staff. Taxpayers get a good benefit from the staff, he says. They know their jobs and perform professionally. But he’ll continue to look at staffing levels, and as people retire or leave, positions may be combined to avoid redundancies, he says. He would even give up his own position if he thought it would save the county money. While he’s grateful to hold the elected office for four years, he’d be in favor of it becoming an appointed office or consolidated with the city, if it saved money. “If the public thinks it would be more efficient, I won’t stand in the way of that.” In the meantime, Shouse has goals to accomplish. By next year, he hopes that tax bills can be paid online with no fee. He’d also like to see better returns on investments. He’s currently devoting time to educating citizens about the state-funded Property Tax Relief Program for the elderly and the disabled. The program also has significant benefits for disabled veterans, and widows and widowers of disabled vets. The state has passed legislation that permits counties to freeze property taxes for seniors, but since he doesn’t think property taxes will rise anytime soon, it will have limited benefit, he says. His highest priority is making sure the office is run professionally. “We know who pays our salaries, and we won’t forget that.”

What can a defeated legislator do with leftover campaign funds? He cannot convert it to personal use but is otherwise fairly free to spend it or give it away as he wishes. Hall could use it in 2016 if he sought his old job again. It’s unclear whether he can use it for a City Council race when Brenda Palmer’s term ends. He can give it to charity. He can just sit on it and decide later. Hall remains on the state payroll after his term expires on Nov. 4 as he qualifies for a lifetime monthly pension of $300, having served four years and reaching age 55. He will also qualify for a Knoxville pension when he reaches age 62, roughly $2,940 a year with a 3 percent annual escalator based on eight years on City Council. ■ State Sen.

wouldn’t topple representative government, and there’s nothing illegal about the Haslam family’s generosity. But it exemplifies the new normal: government of the dollar, by the dollar and for the dollar. Like most roads to perdition, the one that brought us here was paved with good intentions. The Watergate scandal shook the nation. When it was revealed that the Committee to Re-Elect the President, “CREEP,” was a super-sized slush fund that paid out thousands in legal fees to defend the Watergate burglars, much pious handwringing ensued. In 1974, the Federal Election Commission was established to enforce the provisions of the Federal Election
restrict their influence did little but lead to several Supreme Court challenges. Arguably the most overarching (and overreaching) Supreme Court decision came in 2010 with the Citizens United case. When the high court ruled that prohibiting political contributions by corporations and unions other than those made directly to candidates and political parties violated their First Amendment guarantee of free speech, the dam burst. The Super PAC was born, and as of Oct. 15, 2014, these organizations have raised nearly $380 million, according to the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics. Conservatives generally applauded the Citizens United ruling, although one prominent Republican said of campaign finance years ago, “I see no reason for labor unions – or corporations – to participate in politics.” The speaker was none other than the father of modern conservatism, Barry Goldwater.

Campaign Act of 1971. Individual contributions to a campaign were capped at $1,000, and contributions over $100 had to be disclosed. But federal law placed no restriction on contributions to party committees from individuals and corporations. By the mid-1990s, both major parties were swimming in “soft money,” unregulated and unrestricted. Following several failed attempts to plug that loophole, Congress passed the reform act known as McCain-Feingold in 2002. McCain-Feingold closed the door on large contributions by well-heeled individuals and corporations to national party committees, but it opened another. Big money abhors a vacuum, and it began flowing to outside organizations, often tied to a single issue. The best known is probably the NRA (National Rifle Association). Some in Congress recognized the danger of these groups, but laws intended to

Hall now blames the Campfield landslide defeat to Rick Briggs for his loss and says he has not closed the door on a future campaign. Hall endorsed Campfield. ■ Ivan Harmon might seek the Palmer seat again, which would make an interesting race between Hall and Harmon. Harmon is also looking at the mayor’s race in 11 months. ■ GOP candidate Eddie Smith seems happy not to debate Gloria Johnson, which is really surprising for a challenger unless he feels his election is a foregone conclusion. Smith actually makes a good impression on TV and in public speaking as does Johnson. The district loses when the nominees do not appear before different audiences. Meanwhile, Johnson is being blasted by negative mailers from The Tennessee Federation for Children PAC on issues unrelated to children. These may backfire and end up helping Johnson as they appear over the top in several cases. Smith has active GOP support including U.S. Rep. Jimmy Duncan, Sen. Lamar Alexander and Gov. Bill Haslam. Expect Mayor Rogero to become involved for Johnson. ■ Brenda Palmer, a member of City Council, is
recovering well from her surgery to install a pacemaker. Best wishes to her. ■ The closure of Metro Pulse is a loss to the community and will result in less serious news coverage and inquiries behind the scenes. Hopefully, a new alternative paper will emerge similar to the Nashville Scene. Media competition is good for the whole community. Joe Sullivan played a leading role in keeping it alive and active two decades ago. ■ MPC: The new law letting the city or county mayors name the director of MPC is incredibly vague to the point of total fog. The law says the city or county mayor may name the new director, but which one is it? What if each named someone different? The law does not answer it. It is sloppy draftsmanship. The law for which no one claims authorship is silent on who sets the salary. Who
can terminate the director for poor performance? What if the two mayors cannot agree on a choice? The committee that the mayors appear to be naming can only be advisory to them. Mayors cannot delegate their power to hire the director to a committee. Mark Donaldson is departing Jan. 4, but it is now clear a new director will not be hired by then since the joint mayoral committee has not been appointed to plan the search process. The city lobbyist was asleep when this new law was enacted. Even Steve Wise, the longtime MPC attorney, did not know about the law. No one at MPC knew about it. Now that they know about it, they cannot explain it. ■ This writer arrives in Kiev, Ukraine, tomorrow (Oct. 23) for five days to observe their parliamentary election.

What you may not know is that after each election, the election commission keeps a record of whether or not you voted and, if applicable, whether you voted in a Republican or Democratic primary. All this information is public record and available free of charge at the election commission office. This kind of voter data is incredibly valuable for wellrun campaigns. Candidates use it to focus on folks who vote most frequently, and thus are most likely to show up at the polls. (In a similar way, a City Council candidate may decline to spend time or mon-
ey contacting a voter who votes only in presidential elections.) Ever wonder why you get all that campaign mail? Or how campaign workers (who always seem to call at dinnertime) know your home telephone number? They likely got that information from voter registration data. In a local school board race such as the current hotly contested battle for second district, campaigns have most likely targeted about 8,000 households for direct mail, phone calls and door-to-door visits. This is two to three times as many voters as a typical school board election because this special election is being held during a November election cycle, not in May or August. Reaching more prospective voters costs more money – especially for a firsttime candidate with low name recognition. And one first-time candi-

date is raising a lot of money. It’s been widely reported that second district candidate Tracie Sanger raised $43,045 during the last reporting period. Sanger has faced criticism because some of that money came from high-profile donors (i.e. the Haslam family) who live outside the district. From the coverage, you’d think no candidate has ever raised this much money in a district race or has ever accepted campaign donations from outside the district. It’s more common than you might think. Just four years ago, former seventh district County Commissioner R. Larry Smith reported raising $43,802.35 in one report-
ing period. (Note: $5,645.35 of this total was transferred from an earlier 2006 campaign account. You can view Smith’s complete Feb. 2, 2010, disclosure at knoxvotes.org.) As Smith’s disclosure shows, quite a few donations came from outside the district – just like Tracie Sanger’s. Not surprisingly, strong fundraising correlates with a strong campaign. In 2010, R. Larry Smith prevailed against two other opponents. Of course, we won’t know until election night if Tracie Sanger’s fundraising will be enough to win. She’s facing strong opposition from neighborhood activist Jamie Rowe and retired educator Charlotte Dorsey. Early voting is underway. If you live in the second district, the outcome may be up to you.

government The case for Gloria Johnson Gloria Johnson is fighting for her life. Make no mistake. State Rep. Johnson won election two years ago by some 200 votes against a good candidate, Gary Loe, who was painted as GOPlite by some party activists. That’s not the case this year, as the more conservative Eddie Smith squeaked by Jason Emert in the August Republican Primary. It’s hard to carve two predominately Democratic districts in heavily Republican Knox County. And veteran state Rep. Joe Armstrong got first dibs on the Ds. District 13 extends from Sequoyah Hills to Fourth and Gill; from South Knoxville to Old North. Demographically, the district resembles my cat Marbles.
Sandra Clark
Johnson stands tall for teachers, kids and blue-collar families. Hers is a voice for women in a testosteroneladen General Assembly. Would I want 100 Gloria Johnsons in the Legislature? No, because we differ on economic and role-ofgovernment issues. But on education and social issues, I find solidarity with her. Gloria Johnson articulately speaks for the underrepresented, while her opponent is just one more vote for the GOP super-majority.
Why government fails to protect health and safety I am Joseph Carson, PE. I have lived in East Tennessee for almost a quartercentury, raising my family, while running the gauntlet as a licensed professional engineer (PE) employed by the Department of Energy, in positions with significant responsibilities for public and worker health and safety, including nuclear safety and security. So what to you, my neighbor in East Tennessee? Well, I’m named for a New York City fireman, my grandfather, and grew up in Brooklyn. I watched the erection of the World Trade Center when walking to the
Joe Carson
subway to go to high school. My lasting reaction to 9/11 is relief – at least it was not nuclear – knowing firsthand as I do the deeply entrenched culture of reprisal and corruption in DOE, custodian of America’s nuclear stockpile and the lead federal agency for securing nuclear weapons materials around the world. After 9/11, I determined
to find out why DOE could repeatedly, with impunity, break the law to punish me (and intimidate co-workers into silence) for my doing my duty to protect your health and safety. Now I know why, and I fear for America and civilization’s future if my concerns continue to be stonewalled by President Obama and DOE Secretary Ernest Moniz. Simply put, our federal government is too often failing in its duty to protect the health, safety, security and welfare of America. Why? Because the system to regulate the management
culture in federal agencies is broken. Why? Because of decadeslong, compounded, continuing law-breaking in two tiny, obscure federal agencies, Office of Special Counsel and Merit Systems Protection Board. Why? Because despite their size and obscurity, they have essential responsibilities for regulating the management culture in every federal agency, including government corporations such as the TVA. I contend the results include 9/11, going to war in Iraq for false reasons, space shuttles falling out of the
sky, economic meltdown, levee failures in New Orleans, Benghazi, IRS abuses, DOE sick workers, seemingly endless VA health-care scandals, 2008 TVA fly ash spill, 2010 Gulf oil spill, GM ignition switches, endless Medicare fraud, etc. I say this publicly, consistent with my understanding of my positive legal duties as a PE licensed in Tennessee, regardless of possible risk to my PE license, federal job and pension. What can you do to help protect yourself, by helping federal employees protect you? U.S. Rep. John Duncan
Jr. has been following my situation for two decades. He has said if more of his constituents contacted him about my concerns, it would give him more reason and ability to push for their resolution. I hope he will call upon President Obama to comply with his duty to federal agency employees by directing a review of my concerns by the Office of Legal Counsel of the Department of Justice. Your contacting Rep. Duncan’s office and asking him to do so could make the difference for our common future in East Tennessee.

Cokesbury’s Susannah’s House offers hope, recovery By Nancy Anderson Cokesbury United Methodist Church has opened Susannah’s House. Nearly two years in the making, Susannah’s House is a faith-based facility with programs to provide ongoing treatment and support to moms in recovery and their children. Sponsored by Cokesbury, the house opened in July on Dameron Avenue. “Tennessee has one of the highest rates of Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome, (a baby born addicted to drugs) and the majority is in East Tennessee,” explains Cokesbury’s minister of disciples and executive director of Susannah’s House Rebekah Fetzer, “and it continues to rise. It’s very painful for the baby and just heartbreaking to see.” Fetzer says the facility serves the spiritual, nonmedical physical and emotional needs of the mothers and is a non-judgmental place of hope for them. When the Associated Construction Women (ACW), a Knoxville-based organization for women who work in the construction industry, heard about the new facility, they wanted to help. ACW hosted a dinner and silent auction for Susannah’s House on Oct. 16 at Bridgewater Place. “We’re just so pleased to be able to help,” said ACW event coordinator Susan Hicks. “When we became aware of Susannah’s House there was no question, we had to help. It’s a wonder-

Fetzer said there are big plans in the works for Susannah’s House. The program may one day include a residential home. The facility currently operates during the day and provides classroom and counseling areas for adults to learn parenting, recovery and life skills plus art, music and play therapy for children. Volunteers and ongoing funding for certified therapists, utilities, supplies and more are needed, said Fetzer. Info: 599-9878

Faith Promise kicks off Angel Tree ‘shopping experience’
Faith Promise Church’s Pellissippi Campus will host an Angel Tree this year, but families in need will receive more than just one or two general items from a wish list. For the second year in a row, the church will host a “shopping experience” for the entire family. “There’s no relationship building if they just pick up a bag and leave,” said event organizer Lisa Cole. It was decided just before last year’s event that families would be matched with a personal shopper who will stay with them throughout the day to help pick out an outfit, shoes, a coat and two or three toys for each child. After shopping, parents can enjoy brunch and fellowship while their children play, enjoy pizza, make crafts and watch movies. Volunteers Jennifer Rose, Mallory Ellis, Tonja Breaux and Deneen Lambert set up toys last year Children will also be given for Faith Promise Church’s Angel Tree “shopping experience.” Photo submitted a chance to write to children without families to introduce themselves and possibly make a new friend. with other people in today’s mend specific children ences in their areas.

She met with the singers and told d them that her Daddy alwayss wanted “Jingle Bells” sung g s, at his funeral.

God, the show-off For you shall go out in joy, and be led back in peace; the mountains and the hills before you shall burst into song, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands. (Isaiah 55: 12 NRSV) My husband and I recently drove to New England to see the colors and soak up some history. We had a narrow window of opportunity because of responsibilities at home, so we tried to make every day count. First we went to Gettysburg, walking over those hallowed hills. I remembered vividly the Halloween night so many years ago, when I lived at Gettysburg. That night I saw the only ghost I have ever seen. Driving under a full moon, toward Chambersburg, through the Battlefield, I was quoting Alfred Noyes’ “The Highwayman”: “The moon was a ghostly galleon tossed among cloudy seas … When a highwayman came riding …” Suddenly, to the right, there was a horseman, coming toward us at an angle, up the path toward the road. He was – I promise you! – wearing a Confederate uniform. ‘Jingle Bells!’ I meant ‘When They Ring Those Golden Bells!’” Well, friends, don’t things like that happen to us all the time? Someone will say one thing, but mean another, and expect us to know the difference! There’s no way to satisfy a person like that. But the good news is that God says what he means and means what he says. He is faithful (1 Thessalonians 5:24), and his precepts are sure (Psalm 111:7). In other words, you’ll never hear God tell you, “Well, that’s

We were past him and gone in less time than it takes to tell it. To this day, I can’t explain that experience. From Pennsylvania, Lewis and I headed on to New England where the sky was so blue it hurt my eyes, and the trees …! The colors were absolutely riotous: golds and oranges and reds and a pink the color of a prom dress. Standing as foil to that rainbow were the deep green firs and pines. Off to the right was the gurgling, laughing White River. As I breathed in the beauty, I whispered an impertinent prayer: “Lord, you are just showing off!” what I said, but that’s not what I meant.” Take comfort! God always means just what he says.

Here come the Growlers This week we’re starting a newspaper.
Sandra Clark
On Wednesday, my Army-style volunteers Carol Springer and Ruth White and I are heading to Sarah Moore Greene Magnet Academy, where principal Susan Espiritu and an energized staff are creating a community school. Our newspaper club is one of 15 that meet weekly after school to engage small groups. We’ll find out today if our student journalists volunteered Army-style, too. It won’t matter. As long as people have stories to tell and opinions to share, there will be newspapers. Our graphics folks created five choices for the name (my favorite is SMG Growlers), and the kids will vote. We will invite guests from the neighborhood to be interviewed. Kids will take pictures, ask questions and write, write, write. We’ll publish weekly online and via computer printer. And the best stuff I’ll share here. Writers must believe that others care what we think. Whether we transmit by type, byte or smoke signals, self-confidence (ego) is the
root of publishing. And I’m going to reach these kids with that attitude. We’re going to have fun, fun, fun – and the loudest laughs will be mine. ■
Education: ‘50 myths and lies’
David Berliner is coming to town for a free lecture at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 28, at The Foundry at World’s Fair Park. A reception will precede the talk. Berliner’s latest book is “50 Myths & Lies That Threaten America’s Public Schools: The Real Crisis in Education.” It’s a provocative book and I’m expecting a challenging talk, thanks to the Billie Grace Goodrich family, which sponsors the annual lecture. “Myths are beliefs in things that may or may not be true but that fill the void left by ignorance,” he writes. How’s that for a grabber? Berliner’s book tackles such myths as school uniforms improve performance; homework boosts achievement; and zerotolerance policies are making schools safe. And my personal favorite: IQ tests predict success in life (so therefore group ’em early). My best wish for this lecture is a front row occupied by Jim McIntyre and Tim Burchett, with the Chamber’s Mike Edwards in the middle. Y’all come! Sandra Clark is editor/publisher of Shopper-News.

There were 47 top coupon book sellers overall, and as a reward several of them enjoyed lunch on a boat in front of the school with principal Reggie Mosley and assistant principal Lisa Styles.

Preventing abuse of painkillers is drug commission’s challenge Mix architecture By Bonny C. Millard The abuse of powerful prescription drugs has become the biggest challenge in fighting drug addiction. That was the sobering message brought to the Rotary Club of Farragut from Karen Pershing, the executive director of the Metropolitan Drug Commission. Pershing, who has been with the nonprofit for four years, said the organization strives to educate the public and to prevent drug abuse. More people die from accidental drug overdoses in American than are killed in car accidents, she said. The legality of prescription drugs combined with complex medical issues have contributed to increase
Karen Pershing, Metropolitan Drug Commission abuse. Drugs are beneficial and necessary until a patient starts taking them incorrectly, she said. Pershing said that people have come to expect pain management to mean no
discomfort or pain at all, adding that 99 percent of the world’s hydrocodone usage is in the United States, which has only five percent of the world’s population. “That just shows you how much we like our drugs in the United States.” Pershing works with different agencies in Knoxville and across the state to educate people about drugs and addiction and to facilitate policy-level changes. She is particularly concerned about babies born into addiction and preventing teenagers from getting involved in drugs. Last year in Tennessee, 921 babies were born with
Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome or NAS, she said. These babies go through painful drug withdrawal, and the long-term effects are not known. So far this year, 747 NAS births have occurred, she said, and the number will probably surpass last year. Pershing will soon launch a public awareness campaign called “Born Drug Free Tennessee.” The campaign will be aimed at preventing NAS, and she hopes this will become a statewide push. The campaign was developed from a similar program in Florida, and MDC has received assistance from the originating agency.
News from Knoxville’s Community Development Corporation (KCDC)
Fundraiser bridges gap at Northgate Terrace By Alvin Nance More than 150 North Knox neighbors came to a block party in early October to support The Manor at Nor t hgate Terrace, an Nance af fordable, independent living community for seniors and the only facility of its kind in the state of Tennessee. The Manor, a KCDC property, provides supportive services, including meals delivered daily to individual apartments, daily resident safety checks, specialized case management, emergency call pendants, laundry service, housekeeping and social activities.
All of these services are provided at a fi xed rate of $515, but even at this low rate, many of the 41 seniors, who live on a fi xed income, have little money left at the end of the month for necessary items. The actual cost to Knoxville’s Community Development Corporation to provide these services is about $600, but raising the monthly rent would be a burden on the residents. The block party raised more than $2,500. When Life Care EMS special events manager Kenton Powell heard about the Manor and the challenges it faces, he decided the company needed to get involved. “The more we learned about the Manor, the more we fell in love with it,” Powell said. “It was just some-
thing that touched us, and we wanted to do everything we could to help them out.” Te r e s a Teresa Lawson Lawson, senior asset manager for The Manor at Northgate Terrace, said the community support was overwhelming. In addition to Life Care EMS’ support, North Knoxville organizations donated everything from plates and forks to food. The party offered hamburger and hotdogs for $5 and featured DJ music and booths with local jewelry artists, senior services and neighborhood organizations. “The whole community
supported us,” Lawson said. “Local organizations donated food and other items so nearly all of our costs were covered. The money raised from this event directly benefited our senior residents.” Lawson said she hopes the fundraiser educated the community about the positive impact the Manor has on senior residents and their families. I am very proud of the Manor staff and thankful to our friends in North Knoxville for stepping up to help KCDC continue to provide this service to the community. Through these supportive services, seniors can stay independent longer and have a better quality of life.
with BBQ and stir By Anne Hart When George Ewart was 12 years old, he knew he wanted to be an architect when he grew up. But the youngster who spent his childhood in Charleston, West Virginia, never dreamed that in addition to the highly successful architecture and interior design firm that today bears his name, he would also own one of this area’s most popular restaurants chains – Dead End BBQ, with facilities in both Knoxville and Maryville – and eventually add a barbecue cooker/smoker manufacturing operation to his portfolio. How did he do it all? In his typically modest style, George Ewart told members of the Rotary Club of West Knoxville, “I surrounded myself with people a lot smarter than I am.” While that’s a nice compliment to others, few would believe it’s true. George Ewart has worked hard to achieve in the business world and has written a success story that would be the envy of any entrepreneur. After receiving a bachelor’s degree in architectural technology from West Virginia State University, Ewart moved to Knoxville in 1986 and earned a bachelor’s degree in architecture from the University of Tennessee in 1988. He worked for other architecture firms around
town and then started his own architecture business in 1996. The business has grown in both volume and stature, and today its portfolio includes numerous Ewart projects in the fields of healthcare, hospitality, recreation, education, religion and retail, as well as residential, commercial and industrial development. In addition, Ewart has been an active volunteer in the community. He serves as a member of the Metropolitan Planning Commission and has been active with the United Way of Greater Knoxville. Ewart is also credited with being a major force behind the success of West Knox Rotary’s annual barbecue event, which has raised thousands of dollars for Rotary projects. And here’s the news about Ewart’s latest project. The manufacturing business named Champion Smokers and Grills has already sold to clients in Auburn, Alabama, and Melbourne, Australia. Who knows what’s next for Ewart. As he tells it, “I’m 53 years old and I learn something new about my business every day.” Ewart was a featured speaker in Rotary’s vocational month series.

Sam Maner has interest in the odd By Carol Shane Sam Maner admits he’s always had a taste for the strange. He’s the owner of Steampunk Kollectic Oddities, Antiques & Scents, the unique store in Lenoir City that he runs with the help of his wife, Lori, and daughter, Kiera. If you’re in the market for creepy collectibles this time of year, you couldn’t find a better place to browse and buy. Like a mummified cat in its own coffin. Or a stuffed two-headed rabbit. Or a hemoglobin extractor from the 1920s that looks like something out of “Alien,” and that makes me glad I didn’t have my hemoglobin extracted in the 1920s. There’s even a solid cedar
coffin that’s been made into a couch. “That was a ‘demonstrator,’” says Sam. “It was used for viewings when the body was going to be cremated.” Now that it’s a couch, it could go in your living room. Get it? Maner is an active member of the Sons of the Revolutionary War, and he sports a retro-stylish pair of muttonchops which are a giveaway to his love for an earlier time. His interest in history led him to serve as Sevier County’s history librarian for eight years. It was there that he met Arthur “Milo” Bohanan, who was righthand man to a local celebrity – Dr. Bill Bass of UT’s famed “Body Farm.” Maner in turn met Dr. Bass.
Which leads us back to Steampunk Kollectic. Maner has a whole case full of ghoulish accessories from the Body Farm, including glass “fluid extractors” (you don’t want to know) and all kinds of metal claws. Some of them are for such benign purposes as holding the neck of a beaker, though they look a lot scarier. But not all of Steampunk Kollectic is creepy. Handmade leather goods fill a display case, dolls and toys spill over shelves, and over in the knife collection you can find famed moonshiner “Popcorn” Sutton’s knife which sports a carved squirrel (or a weasel?) as a handle. Turns out Maner’s grandfather dabbled in the trade himself and knew the liquor-
COOL THINGS
makin’ legend personally. And booths are available for other vendors who want to join up. This is a prime time of time of year for Steampunk Kollectic, and the Maners look forward to having many fans of the fantastical drop by. “I have always collected the odd things,” Sam says, “and it has grown into the shop.” The store is open Monday through Saturday from 9 to 9 at 117 East Broadway in Lenoir City.

Oh, the horror! Scary fest is upon us Whether you like your horror films to be giggly or gory, the Knoxville Horror Fest 666 will meet your desires. The sixth annual festival takes place Friday through Sunday at Regal’s Downtown West Cinema 8 in West Knoxville and at Scruffy City Hall on Market Square.
Betsy Pickle
Astron 6’s horror comedy “The Editor” pays homage to the Giallo Italian crime films.
Tennessee’s only horror film festival, the Knoxville Horror Fest makes it a point to bring in films that otherwise would be hard to catch on the big screen, festival director William Mahaffey says. “You won’t be able to see these films anywhere else,” says Mahaffey. Some will be available through on-demand platforms and possibly DVD, but there’s nothing like watching horror films at a theater, with an audience. “That’s what makes the film festival a particularly fun experience,” he says. One of the highlights will be closing night’s “Housebound,” a New Zealand horror comedy that premiered at the South by Southwest Festival and has earned raves at every festival it’s played. “It may be one of the best ones that we have,” says Mahaffey, who notes that it received an endorsement from director Peter Jackson. He’s personally looking forward to watching the short-film collection “ABCs of Death 2” with a crowd. “I liked the first one, but it was mixed. Some of them were grim and messed up. This one is really, really fun.
It’s two hours long, but it didn’t seem that long. The shorts were fun, crazy and out there. It’s the perfect movie to watch with an audience.” Lloyd Kaufman of Troma Films served as guest judge but will be unable to attend in person. Passes for the entire weekend ($60) or for daily screenings (varies) are
available online. Purchase passes or check out the schedule at knoxvillehorrorfilmfest.com. Individual tickets will be sold prior to showtime Friday and Saturday at Downtown West and Sunday at Scruffy City Hall. The Grindhouse GrindOut, a competition of trailers for real and imaginary horror films, will be on Saturday night.
NEW IN THEATERS Horror films always get a big push this time of year, but there are some exceptions. Here’s a look at movies scheduled to open in Knoxville this weekend: ■ “John Wick” – Keanu Reeves plays a hitman who comes out of retirement to get vengeance from the gangsters who took everything from him. The cast includes Willem Dafoe, Dean Winters, Bridget Moynahan, John Leguizamo, Ian McShane and Lance Reddick. ■ “Ouija” – A group of friends brings something dangerous over from “the other side” when they mess with a Ouija board. Olivia Cooke of TV’s “Bates Motel” stars. ■ “St. Vincent” – A single mom (Melissa McCarthy) reluctantly leaves her son in the care of a cantankerous neighbor (Bill Murray) with a fondness for alcohol, gambling and strip clubs. Naomi Watts also stars. ■ “23 Blast” – A high-school football star stricken with irreversible blindness opts to pursue the unobtainable. Actor Dylan Baker (“Spider-Man” 2 & 3) makes his directing debut and co-stars in this film starring Mark Hapka, Bram Hoover, Stephen Lang and Kim Zimmer.
Oliver (Jaeden Lieberher) and Vincent (Bill Murray) get down in “St. Vincent.”

Have cello, Cellist Cecilia Miller stops between lessons at the Community School of the Arts to talk about her upcoming California tour. “I was just invited to go on tour with a band called Lucette. We’re mostly playing on the West Coast and opening for Mason Jennings and Sturgill Simpson,” she says. “I’m excited to travel and play!” Jennings is well known for his catchy, tuneful popfolk. Simpson leans more toward country. He performed his song “Living the Dream” on TBS’s “Conan” in mid-September. Both styles – and a panoply of others – are just fine with Miller, whose own musical tastes are eclectic. The slender, long-haired cellist with the gentle smile is easily recognizable to local music fans. She’s been appearing with the Lonetones, the popular “mountain indie pop” Knoxville duo, for the past two years and recently played at the Bijou with Trampled by Turtles, who have appeared on the “Late Show with David Letterman” and who maintained a position in the Top

That experience helped me realize how much I loved improvising with different musicians.” She comes by her vocation honestly.

A little research shows that the classic wedge salad dates back to the early 1900s and was often called “hearts of lettuce” salad. It was said to be popular with men, who liked to pour creamy dressing on it. Most restaurants today have enhanced the lettuceand-dressing wedge with all kinds of good toppings, which is why I am now a fan. One of my favorites is the Lakeside Tavern Wedge. Homemade bleu cheese dressing, Roma tomatoes, Applewood bacon, bleu cheese crumbles and those scrumptious caramelized pecan halves take it off anyone’s diet menu, but it’s worth the deviation.

Choosing a new chapter Knoxville woman’s pain eliminated by hysterectomy When Becca Griggs started getting tired, she assumed that she was just getting old. “As women, we don’t pay attention to our bodies,” she said. “You just assume that aches and pains are part of being a woman.” But at only 42, the East Tennessee native wasn’t experiencing the tiredness of growing older. Her body was trying to tell her something. “I have a thyroid condition, so I thought it was a symptom of that. When I went to give blood at a Medic drive, they told me my hematocrit was too low to give,” Griggs explained. “It happened again a couple of months later at the next drive, so I went to see my doctor.” After a round of blood work, Griggs’ doctor referred her to Craig Myers, MD, a gynecologist at Parkwest. She was anemic and had abnormal uterine bleeding, exceptionally painful cramping during menstrual cycles and endometriosis, which is when tissue that usually lines the uterus is growing outside of it. Griggs had also been diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome earlier in life. “Becca had a several-year history with painful periods and heavy menstrual cycles,” Dr. Myers explained. “She had gone through several medicinal treatments and the pain continued.” Because she had experienced pain for years and was not planning to have children, Griggs made the decision to move forward with a hysterectomy. “A hysterectomy is not some-

thing you just jump into,” Griggs said. “Dr. Myers is very down to earth and allowed me to discuss all of the options. As women, we are sometimes embarrassed to talk about our issues, but Dr. Myers made me feel so comfortable. I went home and talked it over with my husband and did my own research. I felt it was the best choice for me.” For Griggs, trusting the staff at

The procedures:
■ Abdominal hysterectomy. The uterus is removed through the abdomen via a surgical incision about six to eight inches long. This procedure is most commonly used when the ovaries and fallopian tubes are being removed, when the uterus is enlarged or when disease has spread to the pelvic cavity, as in endometriosis or cancer. The main surgical incision can be made either vertically, from the navel down to the pubic bone, or horizontally, along the top of the pubic hairline. ■ Vaginal hysterectomy. The uterus is removed through the vaginal opening. This procedure is most often used in cases of uterine prolapse, or when vaginal repairs are necessary for related conditions. No external incision is made, which means there is no visible scarring. ■ Laparoscope-assisted vaginal hysterectomy (LAVH). Vaginal hysterectomy is performed with the aid of a laparoscope, a thin, flexible tube containing a video camera. Thin tubes are inserted through tiny incisions in the abdomen near the navel. The uterus is then removed in sections through the laparoscope tube or through the vagina. The type of hysterectomy performed and the technique used to perform the procedure will be determined by your physician, based upon your particular situation.

Griggs spent only one night in the hospital and was back to volunteering at the Information Desk in four weeks. “I immediately noticed that I had more energy,” Griggs said. “My blood count was back to normal and my pain is gone.” While Griggs did have fears about the early menopause that would be caused by the removal of her ovaries, her experience was not like she expected. Her symptoms dissipated in a few months. “Every woman is different, but I thought it would be a downward spiral and it wasn’t. As women we fear the big changes – there are some things our mothers just don’t talk to us about – but it was nothing like I thought it would be,” she said. Though Griggs remains happy with her choice to get a hysterectomy, she encourages all women considering the surgery to take their time. Dr. Myers agrees. “Exhaust all nonsurgical options before moving to a hysterectomy,” he said. “It may be your best answer like it was for Becca, but each patient must have an individualized plan based on her own needs. Any surgery is always considered major, so the benefits and risks should always be talked about and worked through.” After her hysterectomy, Griggs has the energy to do what she loves again: travel, sing and entertain family and friends. She and her husband just returned from a trip to Maui, her favorite destination. “The hysterectomy brought me back to life,” she said.
Volunteer at Parkwest Becca Griggs’ experience with Parkwest began at the Information Desk, where she has volunteered since 2013. She is one of the 146 local individuals who generously share their skills and time with Parkwest through the volunteer program. “Our volunteers are the face of Parkwest,” Becky Boyd, Volunteer Services manager, said. “They’re so valuable to our patients, families and guests, but they also provide an extra hand to our staff and physicians.” Volunteers are expected to commit to one 4-hour shift per week. Their assistance is needed in more than 20 service areas in the hospital, and they are matched based on their skills and preferences. There is no typical Parkwest volunteer. Many men and women are retired, no longer have children at home or are looking for a meaningful extracurricular to add to their lives. Volunteer Services is always looking for enthusiastic applicants to join their team. For more information on volunteering at Parkwest, call Becky Boyd at 865-373-1556 or Charlene Howard, volunteer coordinator, at 865-373-1064.

B-2 • OCTOBER 22, 2014 • FARRAGUT Shopper news
What’s luck got to do with it? Irish spread offense collides with Webb wing-T The common foe to look at is Christian Academy of Knoxville. Webb turned back its Dutchtown Road neighbor, 31-21, earlier this season. Catholic overwhelmed the Warriors, 7023, a week before that. Is that enough for the Irish to end a five-game losing streak to the Spartans? Kickoff for the MyVLT Rivalry Thursday contest between Webb and Knoxville Catholic is 7 p.m. at Catholic. Catholic enters as the state’s No. 2-ranked team in Class 4A, right behind topranked Fulton. The Irish, coached by former NFL quarterback Steve Matthews, have several college prospects on the roster, including senior quarterback Zac Jancek (son of University of Tennessee defensive coordinator John Jancek),
Stefan Cooper sophomore running back Amari Rogers (son of former Vol national championship quarterback Tee Martin), freshman offensive lineman Cade Mays (son of former Vol Kevin Mays) and returning All-State sophomore defensive lineman Josh Silvey. All that plus perhaps the most dangerous player on the Catholic roster: senior running back Logan Lacey. Webb is without high school All-American and two-time Mr. Football Todd Kelly Jr. for the first time in four years, but the Spartans have never been a one-man band.
The Spartans, ranked seventh among all Division II schools statewide, enter on a high note after a 42-6 dismantling of Ezell-Harding. Webb had four players – Alexander Berube, Christopher Stephens, Juwaan Jefferson and Bryson Glenn – score rushing touchdowns. Freshman Hunter Green had touchdown passes to William Willoughby and Wrinn Alexander. Webb, a wing-T team, buried Ezell-Harding beneath nearly 500 yards of offense. The Spartans held the Eagle offense to 11 yards. Total. Last meeting: 2013 – Webb 34, Catholic 7 The season to date: Catholic is 3-0 in District 4AA play, 8-0 overall. Webb is 4-0 in Division II East/ Middle Region play, 5-2 overall.
The Breakdown: Their respective seasons to date say Catholic in a landslide, but not so fast. Webb plays the state’s third-toughest schedule among Division II schools. Holding a tradition-rich program like Ezell-Harding to 11 yards is huge. Coupled with an offense steeped in holding onto the ball for long periods of time, don’t write the Spartans off. Webb will have its hands full, though. A spread offense equipped with the weapons the Irish can put on the field can be lethal. Catholic’s 46.5 points per game ranks 12th statewide, regardless of classification. With Matthews calling the plays, that’s a lot. It’s doubtful Webb can score with its rival. The duration of every Spartan possession early will be critical.
Seniors Louis Moore, Bryce Bushon, Christian Bazzano and Braden Wiebe prepare to compete for the craziest fan attire before Farragut’s game against Bearden High School.

Farragut’s two senior cheerleaders, Emily Underwood and Ciara McCormick, say this last football season of their high school careers is bittersweet. They haven’t yet decided if they’ll cheer in college.

A rowdy group of Farragut High School students makes some noise to pump up the rest of the crowd.
Lane Kiffin returns as guest Twice I have written “The end” columns about Lane Kiffin. Maybe this is it. Please do not heckle, hassle or otherwise annoy Lane on Saturday. Trying to satisfy Nick Saban is a very stressful job. The roar of 100,000 just breathing will be enough to ramp up the difficulty. One segment of Tennessee’s team might be a problem. No piling on. Alabama offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin returns as a guest. He has been recycled. For a time, he was supposedly one of us. I seem to recall the multitude cheering when Mike Hamilton, after an intensive, nationwide search (of agent Jim Sexton’s files), selected
There may have been yellow caution lights – thin resume, more hat than cattle, probation clouds over Marvin Southern Cal – but nobody West noticed. Kiffin was a famous name and, for a mere $2 million more, the famous father was coming along to Kiffin to coach the Volun- teach the Tampa 2 defense and smother wildcat formateers. Old NFL warhorse Al tions. It was an exciting time. Davis said some very ugly At young Kiffin’s introthings about young Lane, his former employee. Flat- ductory press conference, out liar was the punch line. he said he was looking forThe warning fell on deaf ward to “singing Rocky Top ears.

ally stir the pot. I thought it was such a nice touch that Lane and Layla named their new son Knox. The next few days were a bit more complicated. Kiffin accused Florida coach Urban Meyer, a saint in Southeastern Conference eyes, of committing an NCAA violation. How dare he call prep prize Nu’Keese Richardson while the prospect was visiting the Vols. Oh my, that one backfired. Meyer was exonerated and Kiffin was charged with a secondary crime for mentioning Richardson by name. The coach also received a reprimand from SEC commissioner Mike Slive for hoof-in-mouth disease. Florida athletic director Jeremy Foley was so angry, there was a hint of bodily harm – or legal action.
There was a minor dustup with Saban about Memphis recruiting. The “you’ll be pumping gas if you go to South Carolina” quote bestowed on Alshon Jeffery riled Steve Spurrier. Naughty, naughty, we don’t talk that way in the SEC. But you might get away with mentioning food stamps. We’ll never forget the Orange Pride episode, friendly female students from the University of Tennessee visiting high school games to tell football youth why they should become Volunteers for life. The New York Times made it worse than it was. Assistant coach David Reeves, Lane’s brother in law, took the fall. If you don’t look too closely at talent evaluation, ethics, principles and the
2009 Mississippi game, the Kiffin year wasn’t too bad. It was better than some that followed. That a few of Lane’s signees bombed out and one or two went to jail was unfortunate. It happens in the best of families. Kiffin’s hasty departure was awkward. Depending on your point of view, going was good or bad. Nothing terrible came of his time here. He returns as a visitor, programmed to appear low key. The moral of this essay is us, Tennessee civility, no more vulgar chants, not even crudeness or rudeness. Think of the good things Lane Kiffin did the last time around. Keep thinking. There must be some. Marvin West invites reader reaction. His address is westwest6@netzero.com

Living in harmony A
By Carol Shane
fter an extremely l relaxing l i session i recently at the Inner Harmony Health Center in Walland, Tenn., I remark to its owner, Suzanne Jonas, who holds a doctoral degree in counseling psychology from the University of Massachusetts, that achieving spiritual, physical and emotional balance is probably one’s most important goal. “That,” she replies, “and serving others.” Jonas has been serving others for over 30 years as a vibro-acoustic therapist in the burgeoning field of music medicine. She defines her specialty as the “intentional use of specific sounds and music to make physiological and emotional changes.” Most aptly described as a cross between music therapy and biofeedback, Jonas stresses that music medicine – unlike some music therapy, where the patient can be involved in drumming or some other type of musical activity – is “generally passive. You’re a listener – not a maker – of music.” Much of Jonas’s work, she says, is backed up by studies in quantum mechanics. “Everything has its own frequency rate,” she explains. “The primary way to find out what sounds would be beneficial [to a patient] is by looking for frequencies in the body that are out of balance and then balancing them.” According to the website www.

musicandlearning.com, “vibro-acoustic therapy is a recently recognized technology that uses sound in the audible range to produce mechanical vibrations that are applied directly to the body. The technology uses speakers or transducers placed within mats, mattresses, chairs, recliners, tables, or soft furniture to provide a physiologic and auditory experience. Benefits include pain management, anxiety relief, symptom reduction, physical therapy and health improvement.”

Although music medicine can be used in a wide variety of settings, Jonas’ work has mainly been in the field of health care. Among the facilities she’s served are hospitals, child services, and mental health, pulmonary and fertility clinics. “It’s a holistic modality,” she continues. “It touches mind/ body/spirit/emotions all at once.” She points to clinical research that demonstrates the effectiveness of vibro-acoustic treatment for cardiac disease, spasms, PTSD, anxiety, ADD, autism, headaches, fibromyalgia and other pain disorders, and sleep problems. Jonas discovered her own sensitivity to sound early on. Originally from Indiana, as a teenager she played flute in a semi-professional orchestra, but found that she was often overcome with “energy rushes that I didn’t know what to do with.” Particularly beautiful phrases of music would transport her into the clouds, and her ability to play her part at the right time and place began to suffer. She realized that her days as a pro-

In November, she’ll be heading to the Hippocrates Center in West Palm Beach, Fla., to join therapists and healthcare professionals at the forefront of new cancer treatments. In the introduction to her most recent book, “A Practitioner’s Guide to Vibro-Acoustic Therapy,” she quotes the eighteenth-century German poet Novalis: Every sickness is a musical problem. The healing, therefore, is a musical resolution. The shorter the resolution, The greater the musical talent of the doctor. Jonas agrees. “Without music,” she says, “my life would be empty!” For more information, visit innerharmonyhealthcenter.com or call 865-980-0137.

Heart-healthy, gluten-free eating (and other food dilemmas) By Cindy Taylor Many of you may remember that my husband, Brent, had open heart surgery nine years ago. He is doing fine now, but having a family member with heart disease forced me to rethink everything I knew about cooking. Brent grew up eating country cooking, and I grew up knowing how to cook country. For those of you who aren’t from the South, country cooking usually involves meat, gravy, potatoes, corn, biscuits and often a big dose of lard. These days out of necessity we have to say “Yuk!” to that. For months after Brent came home I browsed grocery aisles and recipe books looking for food he could, and would, eat. Cooking healthy and actually stopping to think about what I used to season food didn’t come naturally to me. It still doesn’t. But I have learned a few tricks. My oldest grandson was born with a
peanut allergy, and we already had to be careful about that. Then, about the time I felt comfortable that my cooking was basically healthy, four members of my son’s family developed celiac disease. Now I not only had to cook healthy food, but if my family was visiting I needed to cook without wheat products and peanuts! While that is fairly easy now, it wasn’t eight years ago before the food packaging industry clarified labeling for those who suffer with allergies. As with everything in life, the more you study and practice a craft, the better you become at it. Trial-and-error cooking reigned supreme in my life for a while. I finally realized that I didn’t have to make every single dish healthy and I didn’t have to make it all gluten-free. I did have to make it flavorful, or cooking was just a waste of time. I use fresh garlic and onions in almost every main dish and most vegetables. I have an herb garden now, and can grab
Barbecue. See next page for recipie. Photos by Cindy Taylor
what I need for fresh cooking throughout much of the year. To make seasoning cooked food even simpler, I use Rosa Leah’s Seasoning. This can be purchased from Rosa’s Catering in Halls and eliminates the need for many individual dried spices such as salt, garlic powder,
pepper, etc. Through these past nine years I have evolved quite a few recipes to make them heart healthy, reworked many to make them gluten-free and come up with some that are both. Let’s start with an easy main dish.

Place meat in crock pot and cover with salt, pepper and sauce. Sautee chopped onions in extra virgin olive oil, until lightly brown. Add onions to crockpot. Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours or high 3-4 hours after meat is hot through. For faster cooking and really tender meat, pull meat apart halfway through the process.

you are feeding. Alternate tomatoes and zucchini and let each slice cover the one before about halfway. If you shredded the zucchini, sprinkle it over the sliced tomatoes. I prefer shredded since it takes less time. Sprinkle garlic, parsley and basil over all. Sprinkle with olive oil and seasonings. Sprinkle with parmesan. Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes. Everyone is touting the benefits of eating kale. But what do you do with it other than just adding it to salads? Here is a tasty recipe.
Crispy curly kale Ingredients: 1 bunch curly kale 1/2 C shredded parmesan cheese Salt, pepper and extra virgin olive oil Directions: Wash kale and pull curly pieces off of center stem. Place in 9x13 baking dish sprayed with Pam. Drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and parmesan cheese. Bake at 500 for 5-10 minutes. Watch closely to prevent burning. This will really shrink down when cooked, so donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect to feed more than 2-3 people with one bunch. Finally, the recipe we all want, Cindyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Key Lime Pie! The thing is I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like Key limes so I use regular limes. If you had the other recipes for your meal, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have

nuts and crackers if no allergies. Yeah, makes my head hurt too. 1 /2 Stick butter, melted 1 C brown sugar 1 t vanilla 1 small container (1/2 pint) heavy whipping cream 1 C powdered sugar Salt Chill a small metal bowl and beaters in freezer while you prepare the crust and filling. Directions for crust: Melt butter for 30 seconds in microwave. Add brown sugar. Add crushed
almonds and/or crackers. Add one dash of salt. Mix well and spread into bottom of large round pie plate. Bake at 400 for 5 minutes. Let cool. Directions for pie filling: Use zester to zest all three limes. Set zest aside. In large bowl beat cream cheese until fluffy. Add condensed milk slowly and beat as you go. Add lime juice and continue beating until blended. Blend in all but 1 t zest with spoon. Pour over cooled crust. Directions for
whipped cream: Pour whipping cream into chilled bowl. Beat with electric mixer and chilled beaters until stiff peaks form. You don’t have to chill the bowl and beaters, but your cream will whip faster. Add tiny dash of salt and vanilla. Beat until blended. Add powdered sugar and beat until blended and stiff peaks reform. Add more powdered sugar if needed. Spoon whipped cream over filling, sprinkle remaining lime zest over top for garnish and refrigerate for at least four hours. Can be made the day before and refrigerated overnight. Will keep for one week in refrigerator but never lasts more than one day at my house. You have just prepared a heart-healthy, gluten-free meal with a gluten-free dessert. Family and guests will love it and probably won’t even realize they are eating healthily, for the most part. Life is grand and flavorful too!
Important Kids’ Health Topic
How to stop diseases before they start
As a parent, you make decisions every day to keep your child safe and healthy, which include keeping your child up-to-date on vaccines to help protect against serious diseases. You may wonder if the diseases that vaccines prevent are even a threat to your child, how they offer protection and why your child needs to get their shots at certain ages. Learning about vaccines will help you better understand why For example, germs could the disease protection they come from people coughprovide is so important for ing or sneezing around you and your family. them or when they put toys in their mouths.

As a result, your child’s immune system will create cells to recognize and fight the vaccinepreventable disease in the future. This protection is called immunity.
exposed to life-threatening diseases. This recommended schedule is designed to protect infants and children by providing immunity when they are susceptible to diseases. The consequences of these diseases can be very serious, and even life-threatening, for infants and young children. The CDC sets the U.S. childhood immunization schedule based on recommendations from a group of medical and public health experts called the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP). This group carefully studies all safety and effectiveness data to make recommendations about vaccines. The ACIP also looks at how severe the disease is, and the number of children who get it when there is no vaccine.
Immunity stops outbreaks Immunity is important to protect your child against vaccine-preventable diseases, like whooping cough — also known as pertussis — and chickenpox, both of which still occur in the United States. If people stopped vaccinating, even the few cases of the vaccine-preventable diseases that don’t occur as commonly in the United States, like measles, could very quickly become tens or hundreds of thousands of cases. Some of these diseases are still common in other parts of the world. You may think this isn’t a problem if you don’t travel to these countries, but your child could come into contact with international travelers anywhere in your community. Kids that

Simple tips to
replenish your body T
he environment’s natural elements can take a toll on the body. However, taking time to refill what has been depleted from your body, such as moisturizing skin and hair, can make you feel healthier and more beautiful. A similar approach can also help make your teeth stronger and make your smile healthier. Though busy days may make extensive health and beauty routines feel unrealistic, there are simple ways to make them more manageable. ■ Think of the time you dedicate to taking care of yourself as an opportunity to unwind and relax, rather than a chore or another
item to check off that never-ending to-do list. ■ Look for activities that deliver in multiple ways, such as yoga, which helps tone your body while giving your mind a chance to slow down and rejuvenate. ■ Instead of trying to cram a full body wellness session into a single day, schedule activities that don’t need to be performed daily over the course of a week. Not only does that spread your “you-time” farther, it makes fitting it all in more doable. While a hectic lifestyle can affect the specifics of your health and beauty routine, the tips below are a great way for nearly everyone to get started:
Exfoliate. Scrubbing away spent skin cells and the dust and grime of daily life from your face and body allows fresh, healthy cells to grow in their place. After exfoliating, make sure to follow up with a quality moisturizer to smooth and replenish the moisture in your skin. Rejuvenate. Using a hair mask gives your hair a smooth and glossy appearance, making it feel strong. Similarly, regularly applying facial masks also gives the skin a healthy glow and smoother complexion. Protect. In between visits to the dental hygienist, you can continue to polish and strengthen your enamel at home. One

Stress less at your next shot visit

Even though you know vaccines are protecting your baby against diseases, it doesn’t make it less stressful for you to see your little one get shots. Fortunately, there are simple ways you can support your child before, during and after shots.

ing’ to remove stains and help smooth out enamel, which prevents bacteria from sticking,” said Kristy Menage Bernie, dental hygienist and Colgate Enamel Health Spokesperson. “By adding a toothpaste like Colgate Enamel Health to your morning routine, you can proactively care for your enamel and help maintain the work your hygienist does between visits to help get a beautiful healthy smile.” To learn more about how to help maintain the work your hygienist does in between visits, visit www. colgateenamelhealth.com. Make time for meditation. Take time out of your busy day to sit quietly and mediate. Centering the mind can help relieve stress, improving your overall mental well-being. Ultimately, setting aside gently polishes for stronger, a little time each day to healthy enamel. focus on yourself can result “By polishing our teeth, in a happier, healthier and hygienists go beyond ‘clean- more beautiful you.
