FIRST WORDS

Dividing the pie By Lauren Hopson A wise teacher from Bearden High School once said (actually just last week), “Parents don’t withhold food from one of their children, and then blame the other undernourished Hopson child for greedily demanding too much.” That is exactly the situation we have in Knox County, however. Last week, the primary headline floating around the local media outlets involved how teachers were getting raises, but an entire special education department, that of Assistive Technology, which aids some of our most vulnerable students, was getting cut. In regard to a budget with pages of line items, nothing else was mentioned in relation to the AT program’s demise, just the issue of teacher raises. Knox County ranks third in the state in fiscal capacity to pay for its school system, but 39th in average teacher pay. That is actually a step up from 45th last year. Thanks to a 3 percent raise, there are only 18 other districts just in East Tennessee that pay better this year, instead of 19. Three years ago, the Knox County Board of Education made a commitment to the educators of Knox County to make their pay competitive with other school districts in Tennessee. Through a Memorandum of Understanding with the Knox County Education Association, KCS agreed to raise teacher pay by 4 percent a year, on just the portion of salary funded locally, until 2020. This was agreed upon by both negotiating parties as an attempt to bring pay in line with the top 20 districts in the state and attract and retain the very best teachers for our students. How many times has Knox County Schools met this financial obligation in the last three years? None. Zero. Zilch. Granted, our previous superintendent took great liberty with the “if funds are available” clause and decided that money for consultants, six-figure-making Broad Academy Fellows for Central Office, funds for the Leadership Academy, layers of supervisors, laptops for 9-year-olds, and his own car allowance and raise were important enough to ignore the plan outlined in a legal document.

Scarbro details telephone company history By Shannon Carey

Willard “Snooks” Scarbro delights in tales of the early days of the Powell Telephone Company. He was there from (almost) the beginning. The youngest son of Lula and Charles N. Scarbro Sr., Snooks was born on June 7, 1927, in the room next to the switchboard in the family home (now torn down) on Commerce Street. The Scarbro family took over a “whoop

and holler” system with wires strung on fences and trees. It was owned and operated by the subscribers who paid $10 to get hooked up and $1.50 a month for service, according to a Bell South article when Snooks’ brother Tom retired. Snooks and his wife, Cleo, brought their daughter, Linda Dietz, and multiple pictures and scrapbook articles to share. Folks in the audience told their own sto-

ries about the local company. “I’d call the switchboard and ask to speak to Daddy,” said Laura Bailey. “Mrs. Scarbro would call the water company and track (Allan Gill) down.” Cleo interjected: “When we started dating, Snooks told me if I ever needed him to ‘Dial zero and ask for Snooky.’ That’s what his mom called him.” To page A-3

With the Tuskegee Airmen

Local man looks back at changing times By Betty Bean One of the things Chester Bragg remembers about Dec. 7, 1941, was wondering what was happening to his brother Raymond. Chester was only 15, and had no clue that Pearl Harbor would begin something so big that it would swoop him up three years later and land him with one of the most famous fighting units in American history. “I didn’t think it would last long enough to get me,” said Chester Bragg, who is 90. “But I got drafted. The Army turned me down, the Navy turned me down, the Marines. Everybody wanted big men, and I was a little man, 130 pounds. That left me to the Air Force.” The family finally heard from Raymond, who survived but was never able to leave Pearl Harbor behind. “Raymond suffered,” Chester said. “He never did get over that, he never did. He was shell shocked, seeing all that killing; some of his buddies got killed. He drew disability from the Veterans

By Ruth White Each year, Comcast employees across the country gather tools, pull on work boots and head out to provide assistance in their local community. Copper Ridge Elementary was fortunate to be one of the recipients of the assistance and principal Jennifer Atkins called it “a blessing” to the school. “We are so thankful for all of the volunteers that came out today (in spite of the

Administration and never did really get back to himself.” He was a student at Nelson Merry High School in Jefferson County in 1941, and moved to Knoxville the following year. Everybody was worried about Adolf Hitler. “I heard he was going to conquer the world – the whole world, the United States and all. He and Japan got together and they were going to whip us. He’d done whipped everybody in Europe except Russia, and that’s where he made his mistake. He overran his supply line because he was moving too fast…” After basic training at Fort Benning, Chester was sent to Texas and then to Tuskegee, Ala. No draftee had many choices, and Chester’s were limited by his race. “You didn’t have no options. You went to where all the Blacks were stationed, and that was Tuskegee, where they had an Air Force base. We got there in a group and they put us all in barracks…” Chester was assigned to be a supply clerk for the Tuskegee Air-

men, the first African-American fighter pilots. He remembers the sharp buzz of single and twoseater fighter planes taking off and landing at the air field – P39s, P37s P40s, P51 Mustangs. His biggest adjustment to military life was being in Alabama. “You still had to get in the back of the bus in Knoxville, but it

A personal trainer can do so much. First and foremost, s/he will make the best use of your time by making your workout super-efficient for you.

She changes or modifies certain exercises based on my physical ability which is paramount to keep from over-doing or hurting myself. When you work with a personal trainer, they look out for your physical well-being but also your emotional well-being. “I think a lot of people are under the misconception that they will be pushed too hard or be

Company history Somebody asked where he got that nickname anyway. Snooks just grinned. He started at the phone company climbing poles and ended his career as plant superintendent at the Powell office. By then the company had added offices in Rutledge (Grainger County) and Claxton (Anderson County). Snooks said his parents moved to Knoxville from Kentucky in 1926. His dad worked for Bell and his mom took a job with a department store downtown. “In 1926, Southern Bell had put a new (switch)board in Morristown and left the old board sitting there. Dad bought it from Bell, and Mr. Gill (father of George Ed and Allan) took him to get it. On Jan. 1, 1927, we opened in Powell. “We used this board until 1948 when the war ended. (A company) was dismantling a board in North Carolina and Allan Gill sent a truck to haul it back here.” He said the Scarbro and Gill families had always worked together. Mrs. Scarbro had quit her job early on to operate the phone company. As the company grew, she oversaw the operators. Mr. Scarbo left Bell in 1946 to join Powell Telephone Co. full time. “We kept that board until Oct. 22, 1952, when we converted to dial.” Snooks said the old board, which required operators, ran from 7

They were cruel and I don’t see how we made it.” By the time he finished training, the war was nearly over in Europe. The Airmen would have been deployed to Japan if Harry S. Truman hadn’t opted to drop atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Chester was glad he didn’t have to go, but was affected by the destruction unleashed on the Japanese. “The President warned Japan, threw notes out of planes and told them what he was going to do if they didn’t surrender. They didn’t believe him. All I know is how powerful it was. That first one killed more than 180,000 people – babies, women, everybody. The sec-

We cut over with 700 new customers.” The Scarbro family had moved to a house that still stands on Spring Street in 1935. Snooks’ dad died in 1965 at age 75. His mother lived to be 94.

Dividing the pie When families create their own budgets, the financial obligations to the necessities must be met first. Often, those are in the form of contractual obligations. Mortgages, car payments, and utility bills, that one has committed to pay, come before the luxury items. If not, those basic necessities, like experienced teachers, have a curious way of disappearing. Honoring the MOU and the Independent Education Plan (IEP) of our special needs students are both obligations we can’t afford to neglect.

News from EyeXcel

Dr. Gilliland provides expert eye care, low vision specialty Dr. Bruce Gilliland provides expert eye care to patients of all ages and specialty care to those with visual impairment (low vision). This condition affects more than 14 million Americans and often is the result of eye diseases, hereditary conditions and stroke/brain injury. Dr. Gilliland offers the only low vision specialty clinic in our area of East Tennessee. On any given day at EyeXcel, you can hear someone humming, whistling or singing a tune. That is Dr. Gilliland sharing the music he loves – whether he’s whistling in the hallways, playing the organ at church on Sunday, or unwinding at the piano after work. For Dr. Gilliland, helping patients to maximize their vision so they can do the things they love, too, is a source of

great satisfaction. Now with more than 20 years experience in optometry, Dr. Gilliland was drawn to low vision care during his early training. Low vision is a condition characterized by a level of vision that is 20/60 or worse and that cannot be fully corrected with medical treatment, surgery or conventional glasses. Dr. Gilliland’s skilled evaluation and treatment of low vision at EyeXcel offers patients an array of good options. “Just seeing the patient light up when they can finally see what they were missing means so much,” he said. Most eye care specialists neglect treatment of low vision. Often, patients hear “There is nothing we can do for you.” At EyeXcel, low vision patients benefit from an approach that involves

careful evaluation, teamwork and a range of individualized magnification devices. “In most cases, we can find tools and adaptive techniques that can bring back independence and improve the quality of life,” Dr. Gilliland said. One of Dr. Gilliland’s primary interests is neurologic conditions affecting vision. These might be the effects of stroke or brain injury on the visual process or how neurologic diseases such as multiple sclerosis bring about other visual limitations. He continually monitors the latest research on ways that lenses, prisms and vision therapy improve the ability of the patient to manage these conditions. Dr. Gilliland enjoys getting to know his patients, and can be found kidding with them at every visit. They include the veterans he meets as vision rehabilitation consultant for the Veterans Affairs hospitals and clinics.

Sackie signs with ETSU

Davis inks with Carson-Newman

Central High’s Jadarius Sackie signed as a preferred walk-on to East Tennessee State University for the fall, making him the eighth Bobcat to sign this season. The three-year running back/linebacker for the Bobcats played in every game for Central the past three seasons and was called by coach Bryson Rosser “the heart and soul of the team.” Jadarius plans to study sports management while at ETSU, a place that he said Sackie felt like a great fit. Rosser is thrilled for Jadarius because he knows the type of athlete he is on and off the field. “He pretty much had a play that saved the season this year when he blocked a kick against Carter.” The play turned the season around for Central, which went on to play in the state championship game in its division. Attending the signing were his mother, Delia Kerkula, grandmother Massah Kerkula and a room filled with friends and teammates.

The great thing about my new writing experiment is that when the people I interview try to sneak “Google” to answer what they know about the president of the Kip week, they always find something to say! Like my Sunday school teacher, Ms. Lucy, quickly told me that James Monroe was the first president to have an outdoor inauguration. She didn’t know, however, that when it was time for Monroe to be inaugurated, the speaker of the House of Representatives, Henry Clay, wouldn’t let the new president use the chamber in the House like all previous presidents, because they had been in an argument, so the whole inauguration had to be outside. This started the current process we do today. Another friend found that President Monroe’s two favorite hobbies were riding and hunting. He didn’t know, though, that Monroe had done both of these things since he was a boy when he rode a horse to school and hunted on the way to and from school. None of the people knew some of the interesting things I found out. As a teenager, he fought under George Washington during the Revolutionary War and was seriously wounded. He was so proud of his service in the war that he wanted to be called Colonel even when he was President. While Monroe was president, he added five new

states to the country and bought Florida from Spain for $5 million. He was the first president to ride a steamboat and the first president to have official White House china. A set of plates for 30 people cost $1,167.23 back then. Not every president has changed or added to the White House china, but the Obama administration did buy new china for a cost of $367,258. WOW! I wouldn’t want to be the waiter who drops a plate in the kitchen! James Monroe could be remembered for some fun facts, too. For instance, the capital of the nation of Liberia is called Monrovia in honor of President Monroe and is the only foreign capital in the world named after a United States president. Monroe once chased the Secretary of the Treasury out of the White House with a pair of fire tongs. James Monroe also died on July 4, just like Thomas Jefferson and John Adams. Possible tweets from President Monroe could be: James Monroe @ TheEraOfGoodFeeling I am the only president, aside from George Washington, to run unopposed for re-election. The next election will begin the division of the Democratic-Republican Party. James Monroe @ TheEraOfGoodFeeling My daughter was the first to be married in the White House. James Monroe @ TheEraOfGoodFeeling “Our country may be likened to a new house. We lack many things, but we possess the most precious of all – liberty.” Next week, “What if John Quincy Adams were on Twitter?” Send comments to oswaldsworldtn@gmail.com

Webber loves challenges of teaching third grade By Ruth White Brickey-McCloud thirdgrade teacher Alex Webber is in his fifth year of teaching (his third at BrickeyMcCloud). He spent many years working in afterschool care, so the transition to classroom teacher was an easy decision. One of the influences in his life was former firstgrade teacher (and now chair of the school board) Patti Bounds. She built relationships with her students and taught them the importance of getting to know people on a personal level. Melinda Lentz from Powell High mentored and guided Webber, and that is something he will always remember and carry with him.

“Working with thirdgrade students is incredibly challenging,” said Webber. “I enjoy working with this age because I can watch them grow and become more independent.” There is a lot of academic growth at this age in the classroom and watching his students grow into good, responsible students is rewarding. Being named Teacher of the Year (an honor he shared with two others) was super humbling for Webber. His peers and community members were given the opportunity to vote and, knowing the great team he works with, he felt honored to be selected. “I love this team and the staff at Brickey-McCloud. The families at

While at CC she plans to study exercise science and become either a physician assistant or a physical therapist. Powell High tennis coach Cindy Yeary expressed excitement for Kelli as she conKelli Hurt tinues her tennis career at the next level. She called Kelli “the kind of player any coach would want on the team, a hard worker and all-around great athlete.” Derek Stoultz, Kelli’s private coach, complimented her on her strengths including her serve and forehand, and said that she moved well on the court and was a very competitive, good athlete. Attending the signing were her parents, David and Judy Hurt; brother Will (a member of the Carson-Newman golf team); grandmother Linda Hurt; friends and teammates.

“The Last Supper”, a painting by Leonardo da Vinci, is re-created live during an Easter performance at Smithwood Baptist Church.

Easter comes alive at Smithwood Baptist Church By Vanita Holt

“Phenomenal,” “Outstanding,” “Wow,” “Unbelievable,” “Wonderful” were only a few reactions from members as they celebrated on Palm Sunday a live re-creation of Leonardo da Vinci’s famous painting “The Last Supper” at Smithwood Baptist Church. The painting captured the apostles’ reaction to Jesus’s famous declaration, “Truly I say to you, one of you will betray me.” Also, he foretold that before the next morning Peter would deny knowing him. Accordingly, the drama followed the progress of the last supper that Christ had with his 12 disciples. Dramatizations were mixed with music provided by Smithwood Baptist Church Women’s Ensemble, solos by Judy Pyne, Mike Bundon and Lynn Bennett.

Instrumental meditations by accompanist Sheree Beeler and Paul Caton also enriched the performance. Jesus (portrayed by SBC Minister of Youth Jimbo Watson), along with his 12 disciples, dined together and depicted events from the account of the eve of the crucifixion. While all 12 apostles had different reactions to the news of the betrayal with various degrees of annoyance and indignation, each internally questioned, “Is it I?” Bartholomew (Mike O’Neil), James (Ralph Onks) and Andrew (Kevin Broyles) created a section of three surprised disciples. Judas Iscariot (Chad Chamberlain), Simon Peter (Chris Kirby) and John (Dr. Harry Cooper) were another combination of three believers. Moreover, Judas

looked rather withdrawn by the sudden revelation of his plan. He clutched a small money bag while angry-looking Peter grasped a knife, allowing it to point away from Christ. John just swooned in disbelief of all he encountered. Apostles Thomas (Andy Rochat), James (Ron McDonald) and Phillip (Shane Bennett) were the next arrangement of three men. Thomas was upset, but on the other hand, James was stunned, with his arms in the air. Matthew (Michael Kane), Thaddeus (Doug Cox) and Simon the Zealot (Stephen Myers) were the final grouping of followers represented. Dr. Larry Fields, interim pastor and narrator, in Scene One (The Gathering – Communion) invited the congregation to receive the

sacraments as Jesus and his disciples did. Soon, Jesus in Scene Two was the servant and washed the disciples’ feet and dried them with the towel that he had wrapped around himself. After coming to Simon Peter (Kirby), Jesus was given a demand, “Not just my feet, but my hands and head as well.” In Scene Three (The Announcement) all the testimonies of the disciples, Matthew (Kane), Andrew (Broyles), John (Cooper), and Peter (Kirby) were equally compassionated, impressive, and stirring.

Participating in the annual flowering of the cross was another meaningful occasion for Smithwood Baptist worshipers. Their declarations of truth proclaimed the story as claimed by each perspective while the rest of the group was frozen in position as portrayed in da Vinci’s painting. Consequently, in Scene Four (The Betrayal), the

Sojourning Hear my prayer, O Lord, and give ear unto my cry; hold not thy peace at my tears: for I am a stranger with thee, and a sojourner, as all my fathers were. (Psalm 39:12 KJV) I know people who have lived for generations in the same community, my own family included. My ancestors walked across the mountains from North Carolina into what is now Tennessee when North Carolina reached from the Atlantic to the Mississippi. Since I was born, however, I have lived in Tennessee, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, West Virginia, Tennessee (again), and North Carolina. My daughters are both “foreigners”: Jordan was born in West Virginia, and Eden in New Jersey. There is merit in living for generations in one place. There is a rootedness there, a sense of history of one’s people. There is also a true blessing in sojourning. One learns new places, new people, new ways, and new understandings by moving around. Sojourning is different from wandering, however. Sojourning has purpose; wandering implies lack of direction. There are, however, other, different ways of sojourning.

Cross Currents

Lynn Pitts

I am a reader. Through my books, I have traveled to places I have never seen: Finland, Australia, South Africa. I always learn something. People who live in different places have different speech patterns, eat different foods, worship in different ways, and celebrate holidays in the manner of their forebears. So, while it is nice to have roots, it is also fun to learn new ways, new sayings (as opposed to East Tennessee’s “Old Edwards Sayings”), new foods (Yum!), new traditions, and most of all to find new friends. My advice is this: Get moving, go somewhere you haven’t been, look around, listen to the natives, and learn something you didn’t know! It will expand your world forever. Get going!

Compressed natural gas good for environment Knoxville Utilities Board recently celebrated the opening of Knoxville’s first public compressed natural gas (CNG) fueling station. The event also celebrated receipt of a grant from the Tennessee Department of Energy and Conservation to help expand KUB’s fleet of alternative fuel vehicles. CNG is an environmentally friendly gasoline and diesel alternative and powers the cleanest vehicles in commercial production today. Mayor Madeline Rogero praised the station as being good for the city and the state,

saying, “This station bolsters our efforts to reduce our carbon footprint and makes Knoxville greener.” Natural gas vehicles, fueled by CNG, are available for all vehicle classes from lightduty compact cars to heavy-duty buses, refuse trucks and semis. It is possible to convert a traditional vehicle to one that runs on CNG. Light-duty vehicles currently include the Chevrolet Impala and Silverado 2500, Dodge Ram 2500, Ford F-150 and F-250 pickups, Chevrolet Savana vans and Ford Transit and Transit Connect vans.

Pharmacist Watts earns John McNiel Award Celeste Watts, R.Ph., pharmacy manager for the Etowah, Tenn., Food City Pharmacy, is the recipient of the 2017 John McNiel Customer Service Award. She Celeste Watts is a graduate of Sanford University and holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Pharmacy and a certification through the American Pharmacists Association in medication therapy management, immunization delivery and diabetes and asthma education. Watts has been with the company for more than 23 years. “Food City is dedicated to providing our loyal customers with exceptional customer service. We created the John McNiel Award to recognize pharmacists who embody that commitment,” says Steven C. Smith, Food City president and chief executive officer. “Celeste is devoted to her customers and ensuring they receive the best possible care and service. She is a tremendous asset, not only to our com-

pany, but to the region as a whole, and we certainly congratulate her on this great honor.” Each year, Food City recognizes a pharmacist from their two operating divisions for their outstanding customer service achievements. Watts was named this year’s award recipient for Food City’s Knoxville/ Chattanooga Division. The award was established in honor of John McNiel, Food City’s first pharmacist. The company opened its pilot pharmacy location in Harlan, Ky., in 1997. McNiel’s success, due primarily to his outstanding customer service and care for his patients, led in large part to the company’s expansion of the pharmacy concept. Today, Food City operates 101 pharmacies throughout its 134 store supermarket chain. “At Food City Pharmacy, our mission is to run the best pharmacy in town and Celeste has always exemplified that goal. She strives to take care of her patients in the most professional and ethical manner possible,” says Mickey Blazer, executive vice president of pharmacy and fuel operations for Food City.

last words

Lloyd Daugherty papers to be digitized, preserved Lloyd Daugherty would have been 60 this year. Well known as a political strategist and for his syndicated “Dixie Angler” radio show, the affable, articulate Knoxvillian was a go-to interview for national media outlets looking for a Southern point of view. When he died nearly three years ago from the ravages of diabetes, he left a trove of archival material stacked up in a closet at the office of the Tennessee Conservative Union, which he chaired for many years. His fiancée, Keitha Kelley (whom he called his chief of staff), ran the office, and after his death, it took awhile before she felt up to cataloguing the stacks of notebooks, binders and clippings that memorialized his work from 1990-2006. Soon as she was able, she gritted her teeth and got to it. She has completed the job and handed the material over to Daugherty’s successor as TCU chair, Gary Loe, who plans to digitize it and make it available to future researchers, or anyone who is interested. “I would have to say there are thousands of clips,” Kelley said. “Every notebook had several hundred entries, from ‘Ear to the

Does UT get bang for lobbyist buck?

Betty Bean Ground’ (a gossip column in the now-defunct Metro Pulse) mentions to fullpage USA Today articles. He saved everything, and he’d send me out to buy multiple copies. I’m glad he did, or we would have lost all this history.” One example is TCU’s long battle with the Tennessee Registry of Election Finance, which tried to force the organization to hand over its donor list. This came on the heels of TCU’s successful campaign to unseat Supreme Court Justice Penny White, whom Daugherty believed was insufficiently supportive of the death penalty. TCU prevailed despite accusations that Daugherty and TCU president John Davies were nothing more than two guys and a fax machine. Daugherty relished the insults and was tickled when then-Gov. Don Sundquist called TCU a bunch of Neanderthals and Al Gore branded them “powerful and dangerous.” He took on plenty of other fights over the years,

Lloyd Daugherty circa 2003 even as his health started to fail him, and soldiered on after he lost a leg in 1997. “Lloyd did so great with his prosthesis. He wore shorts so much of the time and when we went out to eat, he’d ask, ‘Hey, do you give a one-legged discount?’ He’d tell kids a gator bit his leg off. He was just so grateful to have lived through it.” Diabetes took its toll as the years passed, and by early 2014, he was desperately ill, but still unbowed. He bucked the Tennessee Republican Party by making a video opposing mountaintop removal coal

mining. Months later, just before he was transferred to Vanderbilt for a risky heart procedure, he dictated a press release from his hospital bed in the Intensive Care Unit at Parkwest Hospital. He died a few weeks later in a Nashville rehabilitation facility. In addition to a metric ton of clippings, Daugherty left speech outlines, letters, cards, and clippings. It’ll take awhile to work through, but could become a significant source of research material from the archives of a one-of-a-kind Southern maverick.

Vol fans, watch NFL draft at own risk University of Tennessee football fans actually have a valid reason to watch this week’s NFL Draft. Pretty weird, right? After all, no Vol was drafted in 2016. No Tennessee player was selected in 2015, either. And it wasn’t like the 2014 NFL Draft did the Vols a favor. Sure, offensive lineman Ja’Wuan James went 19th overall to the Dolphins. Other than him, Tennessee boasted just a pair of sixth-rounders in linemen Zach Fulton and Daniel McCullers. That’s a three-year span that an FCS school would brag about. Not a storied SEC program. You’re not going to sway an Alabama five-star verbal commitment over to Tennessee with that kind of résumé. This time around, though, five – maybe six – Tennessee football players are expected to be drafted, the most since six Vols were selected in the 2010 NFL Draft. But I’m curious as to how the Tennessee fan base will react. When the NFL Draft kicks off Thursday night

Jesse Smithey

and defensive lineman Derek Barnett goes in the top 10 or 15, will Tennessee fans rejoice? When all-purpose offensive back Alvin Kamara possibly sneaks into the latter picks of the first round, will Vol fans tweet it up? What about when those two picks snowball into quarterback Josh Dobbs, defensive back Cam Sutton and receiver Josh Malone going in the first 4-5 rounds? Linebacker Jalen Reeves-Maybin may get drafted, too. Will Tennessee fans enjoy it and genuinely be happy for the program and those players? I suspect that will be next to impossible. Because, save for Dobbs getting drafted, you’ll probably just get upset again if you’re a Tennessee fan. You’ll only be reminded of what should have been this past fall, when

the Vols were the clear favorites to win the SEC East and to return to a highprofile bowl game. When Barnett gets drafted, you’ll say: “How was the defense that bad with him up front? He broke Reggie White’s sack record!” When Kamara gets picked, you’ll say: “Why didn’t Butch Jones use him more?” When Sutton goes, you’ll say: “I thought he’d have played better this past season.” Then the demons will take hold and you’ll be reminded of the Texas A&M loss and how Tennessee inexcusably lost (coming off a bye) to a putrid South Carolina team with a nobody quarterback. And then, the Vanderbilt loss that ended up sending Tennessee to the Music City Bowl will resurface and your whole weekend will be ruined. Yeah. So. Maybe you shouldn’t watch the NFL Draft at all. I’ll save you the trouble. The first round will take hours. The Cleveland

Browns have the first overall pick and screw it up. Again. Texas A&M defensive lineman Myles Garrett will inexplicably get selected before Tennessee’s Barnett, even though Barnett outperformed him in SEC play. And countless offensive linemen, who you’ve never heard of and likely won’t again, will go in the first round. But if you, Tennessee fan, must watch, it all starts at 8 p.m. Thursday, April 27, on ESPN. Good luck.

The University of Tennessee spends over a half-million dollars a year running its Nashville lobbying office to influence the legislature and state government. The top dog there is Anthony Haynes, who makes $201,088 a year with a pay raise due in July. But he has four others who help him – Carey Whitworth at $80,000; Lou Hanemann at $93,000; Valerie Yancey at $98,500. Connie Cantrell comes in 2 days a week at $31.29 an hour when the other four are overwhelmed with work. Office space is $40,107 a year at $23.32 per square foot. These figures do not include retirement benefits, and the legislature is in session only four months of the year. So there is interest in what these folks do the other eight months of the year. It is hard to believe there is much heavy lifting when the legislature is away. UT Chancellor Beverly Davenport still has not responded to letters sent more than seven weeks ago from State Rep. Jimmy Matlock and Martin Daniel. There should be a 10-day turnaround for all members of the General Assembly. Hard to tell what is going on here. ■■ House Speaker Beth Harwell will likely conclude her service as speaker in November 2018 as she either runs for governor or simply retires from the state House. The gas tax had Harwell on every side of this issue from support to opposition depending on the day of the week. It was enacted without her being a significant factor either way. She is actually a smart person with keen knowledge of issues but often seen as indecisive. A race for governor next year could be uphill for her given

these difficult issues. Gov. Bill Haslam, meanwhile, waded into the gas tax issue by working the phones overtime calling legislators. For some of these lawmakers, talking with the governor is the first time they have had a conversation one on one for an extended period with him in their whole career. It helped pass the tax hike. The House was where the issue was most closely divided, with Democrats deciding the issue as the House GOP was almost evenly split. The big question is what was promised the Democrats, who are normally irrelevant, on the one occasion when their votes decided the issue. Something was promised but no one is really talking. Time will tell soon. ■■ KUB CEO Mintha Roach turns 65 on Saturday, April 29. She previously headed up the Knoxville city civil service system prior to joining KUB over 20 years ago.

News from Mission of Hope

supporting higher education

Mission of Hope - through its mentoring program By Carol Z. Shane

It’s obvious from this photo, taken last Christmas in one of the elementary schools that Mission of Hope serves, that mentor Shawna Dittrick and college student Summer Botts are good friends. Photo submitted

Among the many ways Mission of Hope (MOH) reaches out to the impoverished in rural Appalachia is through education programs and scholarships. “There’s a lot of despair in those communities,” says executive director Emmette Thompson. “And when it comes to breaking the cycle of poverty, the answer is almost always education.” Thompson, his staff and volunteers spend much of their energies directed toward keeping kids in school through graduation. From bringing backpacks filled with school supplies in September to holding “Pledge to Graduate” ceremonies throughout the year, and in many other ways, MOH supports school children in 28 rural Appalachian communities and encourages them to stay the course. After graduation, many of them hope to attend college. Some will be the first in their family to pursue higher education. MOH’s scholarship endowments at Alice Lloyd College in Kentucky, Lincoln Memorial University and 13 rural high schools help the kids who want that sheepskin - the kids who want a better life for themselves, their families and their communities. But the support doesn’t stop there. MOH also provides mentors for each of the young students they sponsor. Like Summer Botts, who is in her sophomore year pursuing a degree in sociology with a concentration in social work from Tennessee Technological University in Cookeville. Though her cousin graduated from that school last year, Botts is the first in her immediate family to go to college. “My dad is more excited about it than I am!” she laughs. “Very soon I’ll be halfway done. It’s just flying by, it seems.” Bott’s mentor, retired physical therapist Shawna Dittrick, has volunteered with MOH for 10 years as a co-captain of one of the elementary school teams, but this is her first stint as a mentor. “We’ve been together for two years,” says

Dittrick. “She’s a special girl.” Though the two do occasionally get together in person, they mostly spend time on the phone. Dittrick is always available to help Botts navigate the sometimes confusing, often overwhelming, occasionally exhausting world that is college. “I’m a resource for encouragement,” says Dittrick. “If you’ve not had anyone in your family go to college before, you can’t really go to them with problems about the college experience. We talk. We share a lot of prayer requests back and forth.” Botts says that Dittrick has helped her so much. For one thing, she admits she was a little timid during her freshman year. “I kind of stayed secluded in my apartment. I was a little scared.” Eventually, she found friends through the Baptist Collegiate Ministry, and she loves her roommate who, like Botts, is a Christian. “So we can talk about the Bible and stuff. I’m really happy.” She has high words of praise for her mentor. “She’s such a nice person. She’s so strong in her Christian faith. I’d like to be like Shawna.” Botts says she wants to “jump right in to getting my master’s in social work, with the idea of being a counselor in a hospital setting - maybe a children’s hospital, or a guidance counselor in a middle school.” So, she likes kids? “Yes!” she says, “I love kids!” Dittrick admires her driven young mentee. “She’s very dedicated to getting this education.” It’s a good fit, and the basis, no doubt, of a life-long friendship. The Mission of Hope is a valuable resource for financial, material and spiritual support for needy populations in rural Appalachia. College mentors such as Shawna Dittrick represent one link in that chain of hope. “We would be immensely grateful to anyone who deems our scholarship program worthy of their financial donation support,” Thompson adds. If you’d like to help MOH in any way, visit them at missionofhope.org or call 865-584-7571, toll free 877-627-1909.

“Lives Will Be Changed”...with your HELP! MISSION OF HOPE SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM “...our goal is to provide them with the opportunity to secure a better future through education...” You’ve grown up poor...perhaps even very poor. You’ve watched family member after family member become discouraged; drop out of school and lose sight and all hope of a better future. But you’ve decided you’re not going to continue that trend. In fact; you have even boldly dared to be that first person in your family to go to and graduate from college.

But there’s only one small problem...you desperately need help and someone to believe in you. The Mission of Hope Scholarship Program is trying to help those that dare to dream. One of our Mission of Hope Scholarship endowments is at Alice Lloyd College in Pippa Passes, KY; in honor of the Bill Williams family. Our other Mission of Hope endowment is at Lincoln Memorial University in Harrogate, TN; in honor of the Andrew Courtney family. We also are giving High School Seniors Scholarships, valued at $2,500 each; at 13 High Schools in Communities where were are serving 28 Elementary Schools. Last year we assisted a total of 50 Scholars with awesome Scholarships; and now we want to award 13 NEW graduating High School Seniors with Scholarships along with continuing to help our other Scholarship Classes keep pressing forward.

HELP US MEET THAT CHALLENGE!

Dare to Dream!

Thank you for your support and for helping us encourage students to dream big and never lose HOPE. Mission of Hope PO Box 51824 Knoxville, TN 37950 865-584-7571 www.missionofhope. org

Hip to pain …

Teacher’s diary shows pain-free days were few Andrea Anderson was hurting – she just didn’t know how much. But when orthopedic surgeon Paul Yau, MD, urged her to track her hip pain after a cortisone shot, she installed a diary application on her smartphone and began making almost daily notes. “When I look back, I can see that I had no idea,” Anderson said. “I wanted to believe that it wasn’t as bad as I thought. But there were months when I was in pain 25 days out of 30.” Now, after receiving a total hip replacement last Oct. 21, the 46-year-old Harriman woman uses that same smartphone diary to praise Dr. Yau for ridding her of the pain. “I LOVE this man! I love him, love him, love him!” she wrote of Dr. Yau, the day after a 45-minute surgery at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center. “I wrote that because my hip felt great. I wasn’t hurting any more at all, and now I look forward to seeing how many steps I can walk.” Anderson’s glee was understandable. She had suffered for almost a decade after accidentally stepping into a drainage ditch. A trip to an internist and X-rays failed to show anything unusual. “It didn’t seem like it was a big deal,” said Anderson, who underwent physical therapy and “felt fine.” But it wasn’t “fine.” The hip would bother her off and on over the next several years, usually easing after physical therapy. When that no longer worked, Anderson, hardly able to walk without pain, sought help from an orthopedic surgeon who specializes in hips and discovered Dr. Yau on the Tennessee Orthopaedic Clinics website. He first recommended cortisone injections to ease the pain and asked her to go about her normal days as a special education

and ‘My hip is throbbing!’ ” Despite the pain, Anderson – fearful of surgery – put off a return visit to Dr. Yau for another six months. She kept the diary going, however. And when a new school year ushered in even more excruciating hip pain, she returned to see Dr. Yau. “I had an appointment Sept. 15, and I wrote in my diary, ‘Hopefully I can just get another shot,’ ” said Anderson. “When I went in, he said, ‘It didn’t sound like it worked.’ And I said, ‘Well, there were good days…’ And he said, ‘Really?!’ Then, I blamed it on the barometric pressure: Don’t you think that’s it? He said, ‘I’ll be honest with you – I don’t think it’s the barometric pressure.’ ” She began scrolling through her diary, hoping to find good days to tell Dr. Yau about but they were so few she tearfully admitted she needed a total hip replacement. “She didn’t really know what was wrong but as I listened to her I could tell it was awful,” said Dr. Yau, who discovered necrosis, a disruption of blood Anderson calls flow to the bone, had caused the direct ante90 percent of the femoral rior hip replacehead of her hip to die and ment performed crumble. by Paul Yau, MD, “Her hip x-rays were “life changing.” completely normal,” said Dr. Yau. “Then you get this MRI and 90 percent of her hip was either affected or had just died. You don’t really see MRIs like hers.” In fact, Dr. Yau said that necrosis affects only 8 to 10 percent of his patients, and even then, only 50 to 70 percent of the hip is involved. “Usually, it dies and then it shrinks like a sinkhole or pothole. teacher at Harriman High School phone diary. “After a couple of Hers involved 90 percent of the while keeping a log of how her hip days, I wrote ‘This is great! I’m femoral head but none of it had was doing. A handy smartphone doing great! Not feeling it at all!’ collapsed. Instead, the base of hers But then five days later, I wrote, collapsed. What she had was a very app made it easy. “My post on Feb. 5, 2016, is ‘My muscles are kind of tight… unique version.” when I got the shot,” Anderson something’s going on.’ Then, on Despite the uniqueness of her said as she scrolled through her Feb. 16, I have this funny picture situation, Dr. Yau was still able to

take an anterior approach to Anderson’s hip replacement, resulting in fewer restrictions on her recovery. She spent one day in Fort Sanders Regional before being discharged. “The staff at Fort Sanders Regional were awesome,” she said. “We had a very good group of people who came in to take care of me that night. That whole experience was wonderful.” She was on a walker for seven days, a cane for three days after that. “The surgery was life-changing because I had no idea how many parts of my life were affected by how much pain I was in,” she said. “I tried to make myself believe that it wasn’t hurting. I missed out on a lot because of that. I would constantly tell people that I couldn’t do things or go places because I couldn’t do it without hurting.” Today, Anderson is almost giddy as she goes about her teaching day, making about 10 trips daily down the long hallway to the principal’s office or the lunchroom. Before her surgery, the fitness watch she wore on her wrist recorded as few as 3,000 steps a day on weekends. Now, she’s walking five times that and eager for more. “I’m like, ‘I can beat that now!’ It’s not that I’m like some ‘sporty’ person – it’s just that I can do it without pain. I love walking here now. I’m doing my job but I’m gaining steps. They have no idea but I get excited when they ask me to come down to the office. I’m like, ‘Yes, I can get more steps in!’ ” As for Dr. Yau, “I would invite him to a family dinner!’ ” she said recently. “He felt like family to me, that I was being cared for. He made me feel like I was his only patient that day. I wish he was a doctor of other things too because if I ever got sick, I would want to go to him. I trusted him, and I still trust him. I just can’t say enough about him.”

‘Giant leap’ in hip replacement surgery Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center is among only a small percentage of U.S. hospitals with the staff and facilities available to perform the latest approach in hip replacement surgery, called “Direct Anterior Hip Replacement.” In this procedure, the surgeon goes through the front (anterior) portion of the hip, instead of the side or back. This allows the surgery to be performed in between muscles and tendons instead of cutting through them to position a new hip joint implant. “When I first started doing hip replacement surgery this way, I thought it was just another option to access the joint, but people have done amazingly well with this approach,” said Dr. Paul Yau, an orthopedic surgeon with Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center. “With traditional hip replacements, we have to cut muscles or tendons, which prolongs the recovery process and may require limitations on hip motion,” said Yau. “It is common to hear patients being told not to

bend at the hip more than 90 degrees, squat, reach to the floor or cross your legs after hip replacement because it would risk a dislocation. “With the anterior approach, none of these typical ligaments are cut, which means all of these common activities are safe, immediately after surgery,” Yau explained. The anterior approach does utilize a specialized surgical table and intraoperative x-rays. “The specialized table allows for safe leg placement not possible with a traditional surgical table,” said Yau. “Better implant placement improves implant longevity. I no longer say you have to be a certain age to get a hip replacement. “Traditionally, leg length discrepancies are a wellknown complication after total hip replacement. The use of live, real-time imaging during surgery improves the surgeon’s ability to make both legs balanced and symmetric in length,” he said. With the anterior approach, the patient should usu-

ally expect just one night in the hospital. “Some people even go home the same day,” said Yau. “People recover so much faster it’s unbelievable.” Yau said he began doing the anterior surgery routinely about three years ago, and uses it today for about 95 percent of his hip replacement and repair surgeries. “It does require special facilities and a specifically trained staff, which we have at Fort Sanders Regional. There are a lot of moving parts to the surgery and they all need to be coordinated or you’ll have issues,” he said. Studies have backed up Yau’s opinion of anterior hip replacement. “You know how progress tends to happen in increments?” he asked. “I want to say this is a giant leap instead of an incremental one in orthopedic surgery. I haven’t seen anything this dramatically improve people’s outcome from surgery, ever.” For more information on direct anterior hip replacement, call 673-FORT.
