Possum Valley and the Civil War No one is quite sure how Possum Valley acquired its name, but the most plausible explanation seems to be attributed to Gen. Ambrose Burnside’s Union forces that wintered there in 1863. In some of the soldiers’ diaries they noted that, “If it had not been for the possums, we would have starved to death.”

Executives from Aldis Inc., a company headquartered on Hardin Valley Road, will be in Amsterdam this week, participating in Intertraffic, an international trade fair March 27-30, featuring more than 800 exhibitors from 45 countries. Aldis produces GridSmart, a trademarked video tracking, detection and data collection system consisting of a single 360-degree view camera and a powerful processor that runs the GridSmart software. Aldis has installations in 14 countries and continues expansion. Locally, Sevierville has installed the GridSmart system at seven locations and projects savings of $125,000 to $175,000 over the next 10 years. Formed in 2006 by technology entrepreneurs James “Vig” Sherrill and Bill Malkes, Aldis aims to revolutionize traffic management by infusing new technology into signalized intersections. According to the company website, the National Transportation Operations Coalition in 2007 estimated that if all traffic signals in the United States were improved from their current “D” grade to an “A” grade, travel delay would be reduced by 40 percent and fuel comsumption would fall by 10 percent, or 17 billion gallons a year. The time and energy savings would result in a reduction in harmful emissions by 22 percent. Aldis’ GridSmart optimizes traffic flow by providing real-time data to the traffic signal network or central system. GridSmart also provides data for transportation planning such as vehicle counts, average speed, length-based vehicle classification and more. Bill Malkes began his career as a CPA for KPMG Peat Marwick in Detroit, where he gained experience working with venture-

TVA wages war on trees By Betty Bet etty ty Bean Bea ean n The row of Leyland Cypress trees behind the homes on Cresthill Drive was planted by the developers of the Summit Medical Group at Deane Hill to screen the neighborhood from the clinic parking lot. As they grew, the trees delivered the additional bonus of muffling the sound of Kingston Pike traffic, a short block away. But last Saturday, the Summit evergreens were scheduled to be cut down and reduced to woodchips because they were more than 15 feet tall and stood within 75 feet of a TVA transmission line, as per the utility’s new transmission line easement maintenance policy. TVA power lines are strung 60 feet off the ground. “This is a good example of what’s going to happen all over town,” said tree advocate Larry Silverstein, who planned to protest TVA’s tree-cutting policy at today’s County Commission meeting. Commissioner R. Larry Smith

re equ ques estte ted that that TVA T VA send sen end d requested a representative repressen re entative to explain why it is cutting down vegetation that will never grow tall enough to endanger the power lines. TVA representatives have told property owners that trees standing more than 15 feet high must be removed because the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) requires it, on peril of $1 million a day fines. “TVA has lied consistently about government regulations,” Silverstein said. “Is there a federal rule that requires a utility to cut down all the trees? No. TVA has just not been honest about this from the get-go, and to me that’s a big thing. They claim they have to do it. The FERC document says no such thing. This is just blatantly false to imply that they must cut them down. Fines up to a million dollars a day? I don’t think TVA has ever been fined once. “No taller than 15 feet within the easement is just not reasonable,” said

I cannot do it by myself.” TVA spokesperson Travis Brickey cited a multistate power blackout in 2003 as the reason for the more stringent regulations and said Silverstein’s major complaint is with the way the media have reported this story. “We have been very consistent. After the 2003

blackout, FERC said, ‘TVA, you need to submit a vegetation control policy that meets the new requirements and we’re going to hold you to that. … Our decision was the way we’re going to comply with FERC is to cut instead of trim.” Chris Szluha has lived on Green Hills Road since 1998.

China painting Directly from Brazil By Theresa Edwards Porcelain artist Alfredo Toledano came from Brazil to teach a two-day china painting workshop at Ruth Widener’s studio in West Knoxville. Toledano, a professional china painter for 40 years, lives with his family in Brazil but travels six months each year teaching workshops and university classes. In May, he will go to Canada for the first time. In January, he will teach classes in Oklahoma City during the World Organization of China Painters Convention. “I have the vocabulary needed to teach,” Toledano says. He mainly uses demonstration, showing painting techniques. He does not have problems communicating except when questions are difficult to understand. “It helps when they talk slowly.” Widener and her students enjoyed the workshop. “I’ve been lucky to study with a variety of good artists,” Widener said. “In

She is a member of the Knoxville Porcelain Artists Club which meets usually at 10 a.m. every fourth Thursday at Middlebrook Pike United Methodist Church. She will be at a china show at Pickwick Landing State Park in April. Widener enjoys gifting her art and sharing it with others.

line borders his backyard, and in 2009, the utility notified him that it planned to remove four of his trees. After considerable wrangling, he entered into an agreement – TVA promised not to cut down the trees if he would have a large sweet gum trimmed. It cost him more than $800, but he thought that meant his trees were safe. A few weeks ago, he heard from TVA again. The trees had to come down.

Crews, accompanied by members of TVA’s internal police force, showed up on his property to start cutting. “They had said if I trimmed the tree they wouldn’t cut it ‘this year,’ ” Szluha said. “But in three years, it barely grew at all. It was an old, fullgrown tree. Tell me how that was a hazard.” The subcontractors also clear-cut a wooded area behind his property, hacking down everything, including low-growing sumac, and

Rogero budget will presage greenway support Knoxville is closer to getting a greenway coordinator to fill Donna Young’s shoes. Recreation Director Joe Walsh is recommending Lori Goerlich and has sent her name to his boss, Christy Branscom, who apparently has not yet signed off on it. When I get a bio on her, I will provide more information on Goerlich assuming she is the one chosen. She will have an impor-

Victor Ashe

tant post for those of us who care about greenways. Donna Young’s salary was $49,000 and the new person will earn somewhat

less than that, I am told. If she does what is hoped, she will earn every penny of it. The greenway coordinator will report to Walsh. Whether this person will have access to the mayor directly or will have to go through Walsh to Branscom to Bill Lyons or Eddie Mannis and then to the mayor is unclear. However, given Mayor Rogero’s strong, deeply felt commitment to a green city, the new coordinator ought to have direct access and not have their thoughts filtered through three others before they reach the mayor. Knoxville should be adding at least four miles a year of new greenways to our current system. It will not happen unless the greenway coordinator is seen as having the mayor’s personal support. I have no reason to doubt Mayor Rogero’s sup-

port of greenways, but the test will come with what is or is not in her budget to be unveiled on April 27. ■ Meanwhile, Lonsdale Recreation Center, 2705 Stonewall, will get more space with the 5 p.m. Wednesday, March 28, event at which Rogero will help knock down a wall to start a $522,000 addition to the facility. According to Kathleen Gibi, recreation spokesperson, the renovation will include new restrooms, a new office, new HVAC, computer lab space and a multipurpose room which can be used for varied community events. KCDC is fronting $150,000 of the total cost. All represents good news for Lonsdale. ■ If former Sheriff Tim Hutchinson runs for state representative in the new Knox House district

and wins, it will represent a political comeback as stunning as Richard Nixon winning the White House in 1968 after losing the California governor’s race in 1962. Remember, this is the same person who lost in a landslide to County Mayor Tim Burchett only two years ago. Hutchinson did not even reach 20 percent of the total vote. If two years later he can win a seat in the Legislature he once again is a player in Knox County politics. If he serves two terms (four years), he will immediately qualify for a state legislative pension on top of the enhanced and controversial county pension he now receives. As a state representative, he will be able to block or support local legislation which requires approval of all seven House members.

■ County Commissioner Amy Broyles raised eyebrows last week when she mentioned increasing the County Commission size back to 19 members. Not certain whether she is advocating this or simply throwing it out for discussion. Broyles is a county charter committee member who is very vocal in meetings. Generally she is viewed as opposed to the old way of doing things, so it would be a surprise if she favored returning part of county government to the old commission with increased cost to taxpayers who would have to pay eight more commissioners’ salaries and pensions. The huge 27-member charter committee is operating under the radar screen with little media attention on its work.

Not dead yet Shots fired in Battle of Midway, part 2 Can church ladies move mountains?

I wasn’t in Nashville last week, but I know enough about how things work down there to be able to describe the scenario, and I’d bet my best imitation Louis Vuitton bag that last Monday’s Chattanooga TimesFree Press editorial cartoon got emailed out, printed off, passed around and guffawed about all over the Legislative Plaza. But probably not where Rambo, the meanest hombre on Capitol Hill, could see them doing it. To be fair, Ron Ramsey’s probably no different than anybody else when it comes to being made the butt of somebody else’s joke. Nobody’d be tickled to see himself caricatured standing on top of a pile of Benjamins like he’d just summited Everest, planting a banner that says “Campaign Cash” with a cartoon balloon that says, “There is one mountain I’ll protect.” Nope, the Speaker of the Senate/Lt. Governor of Tennessee could not have been amused. The cartoon, of course, referenced Scenic Vistas Protection, a bill written by Knoxville lawyer Dawn Coppock, who has spent the last five years lobbying the General Assembly to ban mountaintop removal coal mining from Tennessee. She has given ground in the process (the bill now applies only to slopes 2,000 feet and above in altitude, for example), but she’s never given up, even after being dubbed the “Church Lady” and watching her bill killed off in obscure subcommittees year after year. She is one of the founders of LEAF, an environmental organization originally composed of

By Betty Bean

Betty Bean members of the Church of the Good Shepherd, which is dedicated to a philosophy called Creation Care, the heart of which is that God frowns on stuff like blowing the tops off mountains. And what the cartoon means is that people across the state are paying attention. The bill that started out as a minor annoyance to Ramsey, who has been the recipient of hundreds of thousands of dollars from the coal industry over the years, has grown into a major aggravation. After LEAF supporters kicked off this year’s session with a highly publicized 40 days of prayer for the mountains, culminating with a grand finale in a Nashville church in January, Ramsey had had enough, and decided to gut Coppock’s bill. Nearly a month ago, the Senate’s Republican majority came up with a version of the Scenic Vistas bill that purports to ban mountaintop removal, but in reality only bans dumping the rubble formerly known as mountains into surrounding valleys. Blowing the tops off is OK, as long as the remains are piled back up into mountainesque rock piles. Ramsey issued a press release declaring the mountains saved. His enthusiasm will be tested April 2, when the decoy bill is scheduled to go to the Senate floor, marking the first time a mountaintop removal ban has gotten to the floor of any state legislative body. The sponsor, Eric Stewart, will likely move to restore the original bill, and regardless of what the majority does, the world will be watching.

Second District County Commissioner Amy Broyles voted no on the Midway Business Park in 2010, in part because of community opposition and in part because she doesn’t support “greenfield” development, which she believes leads to sprawl. Today, she is undecided about The Development Corporation’s proposition to sell KaTom Restaurant Supply 22 acres of land at the Midway Road site and give them a substantial tax break to relocate from Hamblen County. “There are a lot of reasons for me to like this company,” Broyles said at her monthly constituent meeting last week. “I want them in my district, where people could walk to work. This is exactly the kind of business the 2nd District wants. This is a community that would welcome them with open arms.” KaTom was founded by Patricia Bible and her husband, Tommy, who died some years ago, leaving his widow with children to raise and 17 employees to keep working. Today, the business is bursting at the seams and has 62 employees, most of whom will follow the company to Knox County. TDC vice president Todd Napier said KaTom will hire 15 additional employees once the move is complete, and that the work force should number 135 after five years. Napier said the problem with Broyles’ observation is that KaTom, which started in Bible’s garage, isn’t willing to look at other county property. Bible likes the Midway location because of its proximity to Hamblen and Jefferson counties, where she and most of her employees live, its interstate exposure and its location near the larger population center of Knoxville.

Some were obviously formed but seven-tenths went away in the mass exodus. In the beginning, players and position coaches had to get to know each other. Today, no Volunteer has the same position coach he had last year. This is different, a world turnover record with the head coach still in place. We can only guess at why and how this happened. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t money. For the convenience of Lane Kiffin, Tennessee doubled the budget for assistant coaches.

Marvin West

When it was Derek Dooleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s turn to spread the wealth, he hired medium-large names from different places and varied backgrounds. Defensive coordinator Justin Wilcox was the star. Expectations and potential were high. Nobody could have foreseen that almost everybody would so soon be gone. This is Tennessee. Great place to live. Rich tradition. Big ballpark. Enthusiastic fans. How much better does it get?

Bennie Wylie, strength and conditioning coach, started it. He worked out with the team â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with his suitcase packed. The Chuck Smith story was strange. This personable former Volunteer was Dooleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s high school buddy. He would coach defensive linemen. That renewed partnership lasted one whole season. Personality conflict? Different view of work hours? Smith and Dooley reached a â&#x20AC;&#x153;mutual decisionâ&#x20AC;? to part. Smith conducted a rambling press conference that did not explain anything. No problem. The solution was in-house. Peter Sirmon, former standout with the Tennessee Titans and former Oregon roommate with Wilcox, was a graduate assistant. Lance Thompson became defensive line coach. Sirmon, with name recognition

Eric Russell, tight ends and special teams, departed for Washington State. He later admitted he was seeking job security. Eric thinks the Vols are under pressure to win now. Dooley showed no panic. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes you hate losing them. Sometimes itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good because sometimes turnover is a healthy thing. Either way, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great chance to say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Hey, where can we get better through this?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to do.â&#x20AC;? Additional opportunities followed. At a serious time in recruiting, Wilcox moved to Washington. Sirmon took the same flight. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if Dooley could have stopped them with raises. Could be Wilcox concluded the SEC is just too tough. Dooley made positive adjustments â&#x20AC;&#x201C; offensive coordinator Jim Chaney to QB coach, Darin Hinshaw, bless him, to receivers. Ex-Vol Jay

and personality, became a hot recruiter and very good coach of linebackers. If there ever was staff stability, last season broke it up. The 5-7 record with that messy finale at Kentucky created nervous tension. There were whispers that Dooley discipline was adjustable. Critics, just waiting for proof of problems, said the coach might not make it. Rival recruiters told anybody who would listen. Turnover, Phase II, started with Charlie Baggett, long history of success, 11 years in the NFL. The press release said he retired at 58. A freedom of information peek showed Charlie was paid $425,000 to go away. Harry Hiestand, supposedly a good offensive line coach when hired, got saddled with his fair share of a failed running attack. He was suddenly considering other opportunities. He resurfaced at Notre Dame.

Graham came to coach running backs. There was applause. Dooley went â&#x20AC;&#x153;Alabamaâ&#x20AC;? to replace Wilcox. Sal Sunseri brought in former associate Derrick Ansley and probably recommended John Palermo. Charlie Coiner was an easy choice. Available. Lance Thompson? Oh, after two passovers for promotion, he went back to Alabama. Dooley, the faithful few and reinforcements did OK in recruiting. As new assistants were getting acquainted, Terry Joseph, with Dooley at Louisiana Tech, moved laterally to Nebraska. Hmm. What do the migrants know that we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t? Was the original Dooley formula just trial and error? Is the staff better for changes? This new season could be very exciting. Marvin West invites reader reaction.

Possum Valley traces roots to Civil War MALCOLM’S CORNER | Malcolm Shell

I was talking to a couple of my Farragut High School classmates a few days ago – Lafayette Williams and Earl Hall – and during our conversation we discussed the area where they grew up, just a few miles southwest of Concord Village. Today, that gently rolling pastoral area is the home of the new YMCA and subdivisions with homes in the million dollarplus price range – Montgomery Cove, Mallard Bay, Jefferson Park, Cabot Ridge and numerous others – and commercial development has also started to take hold. But 60 years ago the whole area was known to locals as “Possum Valley” and the westernmost end of Northshore Drive was called “Possum Valley Road.” I wonder how many of the area’s new residents are aware that they live in Possum Valley. No one is quite sure how the area acquired its name, but the most plausible explanation seems to be attributed to Gen. Ambrose Burnside’s Union forces that wintered there in 1863. In some of the soldiers’ diaries they noted that, “If it had not been for the possums, we would have starved to death.” One of the notorious residents of the area was Charley Smith, also known as Lying Charley Smith and Possum Valley Charley Smith. Charley was one of those characters who delighted in amusing his friends with his tall tales. And people were always glad to see him coming

because they knew they were in for a big laugh. Charley also told stories about himself and the Possum Valley area. I remember him saying once that “if a rabbit ran across the road in front of you, you had better slam on the brakes because there would be a man right behind it.” Now, Burnside’s soldiers and Charley’s tales suggest that the area was a very poor place where possums were the main food source and men literally tried to run down rabbits for food. But neither of these depictions is accurate. In fact, the area was selfcontained in that it had its own churches with adjacent cemeteries, a school where several classes were taught in the same room by a single teacher and a country store that was a favorite gathering place. Most of the area’s residents made their living by farming. And like their Scots-Irish ancestors, they were extremely independent people who grew their own vegetables, raised their cattle and poultry to provide meat for their families, and depended on the sale of their cash crops for income. And families were very supportive of each other. Indeed, it was a place where farmers would readily lend their farm machinery and labor to a neighbor who might be temporarily in need. And it was a place where people put in 12-hour workdays six days each week and emphasized the value of such traits as honesty, hard work and virtue in their

parenting. And their early training must have had an influence on them because most of the “possum valley boys” excelled in both sports and academics in high school.

Most Possum Valley residents lived in traditional, two-story, clapboard farmhouses at the end of dirt roads. In fact, all of the roads in Possum Valley were dirt, and alternating periods of drought or rain each presented their own problems. During dry periods, you could see vehicles coming far in the distance by the dust cloud, so not many people were inclined to wash their cars or pickup trucks. Today, the influx of new residents and modern subdivisions has completely changed the area landscape. Single mailboxes and dirt roads leading to farmhouses have been replaced with beautiful subdivision entrances that lead to paved streets with exciting street names. And if you ask one of these newcomers where they live, they will proudly say Mallard Bay, Montgomery Cove or Jefferson Park. But if you can find one of the locals –their numbers are declining rapidly – and ask where they live, they are apt to say, “Oh, down in Possum Valley.”

Karns Honor Society donates iPads Karns High School’s Honor Society students (front) Lily Tavassoli, Conner Hayes; (back) Chelsey Bishop, Chloe’ Hall and Abbey Blackmon sold coupons books to raise funds to purchase iPads for CDC students at Karns. They bought three the day before prices dropped $100 each. The store gave a gift card credit for the difference, so they bought three more to give two to each classroom. The extra expense took more than was raised for the project, so donations would be appreciated. Hall has been working with the CDC students for three semesters as a peer mentor. She saw a documentary about ways iPads have helped autistic children communicate, prompting her to help these Karns students. Photo by T. Edwards of TEPHOTOS.com

His favorite quote is from Maya Angelou, “If you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t change it, change your attitude.

News from Rural/Metro

Careers in emergency services By Rob Webb While the overall job market may be tough right now, job prospects are good for those pursuing careers in emergency services. According to Webb the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment is expected to grow in all emergency sectors. Aging baby boomers will contribute to an increased demand for first responders, EMTs and paramedics. Emergency room overcrowding and hospital specialization can also create longer patient transport times making additional emergency service providers necessary. Rural/Metro is one of the largest employers of emer-

gency service professionals in East Tennessee, employing more than 800 EMTs, paramedics, firefighters, telecommunicators and support personnel. We have a compassionate and committed team which continues to grow to meet the needs of our community. When you are committed to your work, it is exciting to help others get involved. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why several Rural/ Metro professionals recently spent a day speaking to students about the emergency services field during the Knox County Schools Career Fair held at the Knoxville Expo Center. We were one of nearly 80 local employers on site to give high school students information on career options. Many students were genuinely interested in learning about emergency service. Others enjoyed checking

out our latest technology, including our state-of-the-art ambulance, fire truck and the Segways used to help us respond in densely populated venues such as sporting events and festivals. We are also reaching out to future emergency service providers through a new pilot program for firefighter training with seniors at SouthDoyle High School. The Fire Cadet Academy is a two-part training program in conjunction with our state-accredited Fire Academy to offer interested students the first phase of firefighter instruction during the school year. Upon successful completion of the course and graduation from school, qualifying cadets will be able to complete their training and actual live-fire experience as reserve firefighters. When the 240-hour training pro-

Rural/Metro firefighters Brandon Gross and Tim Hancock speak with Abby Herrell and father Rick Herrell at the Knox County Schools Career Fair. Rural/Metro team members discussed career opportunities in both fire and emergency medical services with the nearly 3,000 8th graders and high school students attending the event at the Knoxville Expo Center. Photos submitted gram is complete, students are qualified to test for certification as a Level 1 Firefighter, the minimum level required by most fire departments.

Rural/Metro is proud to partner with Knox County Schools on a variety of safety programs and services. But it is especially rewarding to help students

interested in emergency services pursue a career in this growing field and join the dedicated professionals who serve and protect our community.

NEWS FROM WEBB SCHOOL OF KNOXVILLE

Preparing Students for Tomorrow’s World By Scott Hutchinson, Webb School President

or well over 50 years now, Webb School of Knoxville has provided area students, ages 5-18, with an academically rigorous, broadbased liberal arts, college preparatory experience. Among the strengths of the school over time has been the vast array of interesting and relevant curricular offerings. In the 480-student Hutchinson high school alone there are courses that range from Shakespeare to Chaos and Fractals, from Forensic Science to Mandarin Chinese. Additionally, Webb’s Upper School offers 25 Advanced Placement classes and more than 30 arts-related courses. Students who come up through the Lower and Middle schools are likewise exposed to a strong core curriculum of English, mathematics, science, social studies, and a second language, as well as a varied and vibrant pool of electives.

In 2012-2013, Webb will expand its offerings on two fronts – engineering and computer programming. On the engineering front, Webb will offer an after-school, LEGO-based engineering club for grades three through ﬁve; a required seven-week course in engineering in the sixth grade; a semester-long engineering elective in both the seventh and eighth grades; and three elective engineering courses in the high school. The three Upper School courses include an introductory semester course, a full-year course with an interscholastic robotics competition piece included, and an advanced semester course. On the computer science front, Webb’s high school will offer three courses as well – an introductory programming course, a fullyear AP computer science course, and an advanced computer-programming course for iPad development. The goal of a successful K-12 education is largely threefold. ■ First, it is to engender a love of learning and to awaken in young people the notion that lifelong learning is critical to one’s more complete development and to a more fulﬁlling and productive adult life.

Webb’s Team #1466 was among the 50-plus teams, representing schools from as far away as Ontario, Canada to across the Southeast, to compete at the 2012 FIRST (“For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology”) Smoky Mountain Regional robotics competition, March 1-3, in Knoxville. Team #1466 is gearing up for its next competition – the Queen City Regional in Cincinnati, OH, April 5-7. ■ Second, it is to equip young people with a wide array of literacies so that they can function as knowledgeable and enlightened citizens within their communities. ■ And third, it is to equip young people with the salient thinking skills,

knowledge base, and work habits to provide them with the requisite foundation to help secure quality jobs in an increasingly competitive world. By adding these new course offerings to our curriculum, Webb School continues to better address all three objectives.

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

Gammon/Heatherly Series strives to care for caregivers Speakers from The Davidson Centre for the Professions will be featured during the 2012 Gammon/Heatherly Series, an annual series of lectures targeted at chaplains, pastors, physicians, nurses, social workers and other caregivers. Set for 7:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Thursday, March 29, at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center and 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. at Parkwest Medical Center, this year’s lectures are geared toward providing those caregivers the resources needed to prevent burnout. Participants are invited to attend three of four seminars (two in the morning session, one in the afternoon) focusing on “Mind,” “Body,” “Spirit” and “Praxis (or active process).” Titled “Sustaining Resilient Leaders: Tools to Build Personal and Professional Resilience,” the sessions will feature Dr. George W. Jacobs, president of the Davidson Centre for the Professions, and Davidson staffers Dr. Cynthia Ackrill, Leesa Sluder and Rabbi Barbara Thiede. Jacobs, who co-founded the The Davidson Centre for the Professions in Davidson, N.C., in 2003 as a program for wellness, revitalization and reminder of purpose for clergy and church professionals, will launch the Gammon/ Heatherly Series at a Physician Breakfast with his talk on “Caregivers as Unique Professionals.” He will later be joined by Ackrill, Sluder and Thiede at the 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. plenary session, “Resilience of Mind, Body, Spirit and Praxis,” in the Thompson Cancer Survival Center auditorium. The first breakout group session is 10:45 to 11:45 a.m. and the second session 1-2 p.m. Lunch will be provided 11:50 a.m. to 12:50 p.m. at the Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center cafeteria.

has become so pervasive caregivers often discount its impact and rationalize denial. Ackrill also looks at how we can manage our energy level and make significant improvements in our health, focus and happiness. Thiede, who serves as rabbi for Temple Or Olam and as a Mashpiah (a spiritual director in the Jewish tradition), is the featured speaker for the “Spirit” seminar. She will look at nurturing an “awareness and exploration of the sacred” in life as well as finding meaning and connection in everyday life. Sluder, who combines a 25-year finance career with a psychology background and executive coaching experience, will examine “Praxis,” a Greek term for the process by which a theory, lesson or skill is practiced or enacted. In this seminar, Sluder will look at how coaching supports transition, how to overcome obstacles, and develop a vision and set goals for a healthy professional and personal life. The seminar series, established in 1983, is named after the late Rev. Joseph Gammon, a former chaplain at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center, and this year marks the first joint effort with the inaugural event at Parkwest Medical Center in honor of former CAO Wayne Heatherly. Registration fee is $20 (make checks payable to Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center, Pastoral Care), include $10 for Continuing Education Unit credit or $50 for theological and medical professionals. Approval is pending for Continuing Medical Education credit, which will require a $25 fee.
