Touring the Bijou’s former brothel

By Jake Mabe Did you know the Bijou Theatre used to be a brothel?

Well, I didn’t either.

Knew it used to show X-rated movies, back in the ’60s and early ’70s, when that part of downtown Knoxville did its best Times Square impression.

The Bijou opened as a theatre in 1909, but it was part of an existing hotel known as the Lamar House, also a tavern for a time, which opened in 1817. It was also a hospital during the Civil War. Former president Andrew Jackson was rumored to have partied there. Civil War Col. William Sanders died on the fourth floor, perhaps in what was then known as the bridal suite.

Some swear his ghost haunts the halls.

Visitors are not allowed onto the fourth floor, where the brothel was located, or onto the theatre’s second balcony, which was once reserved strictly for AfricanAmericans. But following a successful screening of early East Tennessee home movies and Cas Walker clips on Aug. 18, Bradley Reeves, co-founder of the Tennessee Archive of Moving Image and Sound, conducted a brief private tour.

Didn’t see any ghosts, but I did see graffiti, including this bizarre ditty: “He’ll put a horse head in your bed!

Sleep with your wife and comence (sic) to knifen! (sic).”

You can still see remnants of private showers and bathrooms, peeling wallpaper, rotting wood.

Through the windows on the north side of the theatre is a spectacular view of Gay Street.

A group calling itself East Tennessee Ghost Seekers says several ghosts, many of them former actors, can

Literacy goes high-tech

By Wendy Smith Students who have reached upper grade levels without learning to read have a disability, says Alice Wershing, the educational technology program coordinator at the nonprofit East Tennessee Technology Access Center (ETTAC).

That’s why the center, which serves people with disabilities, has a Reading Lab that uses technology to improve literacy.

One example of such technology is Texthelp’s Read&Write Gold software.

Ruth Boxley of Texthelp presented a workshop for teachers and parents from ETTAC’s 24-county service area last week. The software is appropriate for those who need help with reading, writing, research and those

learning English as a second language, she said.

Boxley demonstrated how the software can read any viewable document, from a word-processing file to a PDF, out loud. It can translate into 52 languages, and provide picture or written definitions.

When students use the software for writing, it offers spelling suggestions, even if words are grossly misspelled, like “knowledge” for “nolij.” It offers word prediction, which allows a student to select from a list of words with one click. It even identifies homophones and provides definitions so students can choose the correct spelling.

“Think about students who need so much editing,” said Boxley. “This tool really

The Reading Lab, which is sponsored by Green Mountain Coffee, targets middle and high school students, as well as adults who did not finish high school. Wershing thinks there are many who could benefit from the lab if they knew about it.

“Literacy, in this part of the country, is a huge issue.”

The center provides software and technical assistance to clients so they can have access to reading software at home and at school. It also provides some one-on-one tutoring.

Clients are charged $35 per hour for services, but ETTAC has a sliding scale and also accepts trade items, like school supplies, in lieu of payment. The center is located at 116 Childress St., which is off Chapman Highway, and operating hours

ETTAC provides education and equipment for seniors that allow them to live independently, adapted toys for children, accessible music and art, job training, and educational services.

It also has an equipment re-use and loan program that takes donations of used equipment, like computers, wheelchairs and communication devices, and loans them to people with disabilities who need them but can’t afford them.

Upcoming events include a public speaking workshop 4-5:30 p.m. Thursday, Sept.

So long, summer of 2012 Labor Day weekend is fast approaching, and after all those cookouts and fireworks, summer will officially be over. But before we hang up the swimsuits and turn on college football, I’m going to review my eight favorite things about summer 2012. (It would be 10 if my publisher gave me more room.)

8. Swim meets. As parents, we are required to complain about them, but these are basically multi-hour cookouts with old friends.

Sometimes we even remember to watch the kids swim.

7. Letting the kids go to bed pool-clean. Yeah, we know what’s really in that water. But if they smell like chlorine, how dirty can they be?

6. Drinking sweet tea. When it’s 97 degrees, it’s important to stay hydrated. Plus, it takes a lot of carbs to recover from

putting on sunscreen.

5. Staying up late. This was especially fun during the Olympics, when we totally lost track of time.

4. Sleeping in. It was the only reason we could enjoy staying up late.

3. Lazy days at the lake. Sure, you can go to the lake in September, but you always have to get home to watch a football game.

2. Summer camping.

Some folks prefer camping in the fall, but we like making all those trips to the camp store for ice.

1. Tomatoes. Tomato pie, BLTs and summer salads – enough said.

Knoxville Writers share memoirs Bobbi Wolverton thought she would surely lose her new job as a flight attend a nt after she looked out the w i ndow during a stormy l a n d Wolverton ing and yelled, “Fire!” As it turns out, she was only seeing a reflection of the reverse thrusters on the wet pavement.

The story is from Wolverton’s book-inprogress “Behind the Smile,” about her experience working for an airline during the 1960s. Sarah Young, Sherry Hunter and Pat Wells also shared personal stories at the monthly meeting of the Knoxville Writers’ Group, which meets 11:30 a.m. on fourth Wednesdays at Naples.

Tracking crime

By Anne Hart Here’s a novel idea: have the criminals themselves – rather than law-abiding citizens – pay for the online tools that help both law enforcement and unsuspecting neighbors keep track of what crimes have been committed in what areas.

That’s the case with the two online websites used mutually by the Knox County Sheriff’s Office, the Knoxville Police Department, the UT Police Department and a few adjoining counties.

Capt. Robert Hubbs, crime analyst and technician with the KCSO, told members of the Council of West Knox County Homeowners that convicted sex offenders are required to register and pay fees at the

Sheriff’s Office. It is those fees that pay for the websites that are made available to the public.

One of the sites is crimereports.com. The other is raidsonline.com, which can be accessed through the KCSO website – knoxsheriff.org. – and is both comprehensive and easy to use.

Not only will it show you a map pinpointing what crimes have occurred in the next county or the next neighborhood, it will show what happened next door.

The map uses symbols and color-coded flags to track ev-

erything from traffic stops to homicides, shoplifting, vehicle thefts, breaking and entering, burglary, drug and alcohol violations and much more.

It can be programmed to show just one category of crime – theft of a motor vehicle, for example – or it can be programmed to map more than two dozen crimes.

On the website, citizens can sign up for daily, weekly or monthly alerts within a designated radius of a specific address – home, school Capt. Robert Hubbs or place of business, for in-

mates, recent arrests and animal control info.

The site also allows residents to anonymously submit tips to the department concerning actual or suspected criminal or illegal activity.

Real money for Pay comparisons in virtual school city government

Taxpayers pay the top 25 employees in Knoxville city government more than $2.87 million a year plus extra longevity pay for 18 of the 25. The highest paid city employees are: Janet Wright, head of computer services, at $161,864 plus $1,440 in longevity pay for a total of $163,304.

Bill Lyons, deputy mayor, is second at $153,781 while Eddie Mannis, the other deputy mayor, earns almost $7,000 less than Lyons at $146,944 a year.

He made a lot more at Prestige Cleaners. Not sure why there is a difference.

Joining Mannis at the exact same pay are Law Director Charles Swanson and Christi Branscom, director of public works.

Swanson made more in private practice.

Police Chief David Rausch makes $133,250 a year while Mayor Rogero is the 7th highest paid employee at $130,000. Her salary cannot be adjusted during this term. The mayor ought to make more, given her responsibilities, especially when six other city employees make more than she does.

Next in line is Steve King, deputy engineering director, at $126,729 while his boss, Jim Hagerman, makes around $23,000 less at $103,520. King was bumped back from engineering director by Mayor Rogero to deputy but he lost only his title, not his pay.

Bob Whetsel makes $118,849 a year, while Finance Director Jim York makes $117,875. Coliseum Director Bob Polk weighs in at $115,242, followed by Fire Chief Stan Sharp at $113,723. Sharp got a pay boost with Rogero but still is behind several persons who do not manage departments as large as his. He is close to $20,000 a year behind the police chief.

Rogero spokeswoman Angela Starke makes $111,476. Far behind is her chief assistant, Jesse Mayshark, who makes $65,871.

This may be more than Mayshark made at Metropulse; however, this difference of $45,605 is huge given what each does.

Victor Ashe

Brent Johnson in engineering is next at $104,646. Law department attorney Ron Mills earns $104,089 and Nancy Tompkins in computer services gets $101,133 along with Herman Pauley in the same office.

Civil Service Director Vivian Hatfield is at $97,188 and Dawn Foster, who works for Whetsel, is at $92,910.

Service Director David Brace is at $91,737, closely followed by Parks and Rec Director Joe Walsh at $91,682. Both are royally underpaid for what they do.

Deputy Coliseum Director is Dale Dunn at $91,616 and purchasing agent Boyce Evans is at the same amount. At the bottom of the top 25 is Tom Clabo in engineering at $91,242.

■ Anita Cash’s last full week after 32 years at the city is here. She started at 24 working on parking tickets. She was president off and on of the City Employees League for 13 years. She worked under six mayors and she tells me that Mayor Rogero and this writer were her favorites, although I certainly never knew it at the time, given the comments she threw my way if she felt employee benefits were even remotely at risk.

Cash never hesitated to voice her views and says she was never threatened with retaliation. She is a widow now, having lost her husband to cancer, and is the proud mother of Tyler, 23, who is stationed at Fort Hood in Texas after a recent tour in Afghanistan.

Anita will be missed and impossible to replace. She is one of a kind. Her farewell reception is 2:30 p.m.

Thursday, Aug. 30, in the Atrium of the City County Building on the fifth floor.

All are invited.

Last year, Tennessee taxpayers sent $7 million to Union County for the Tennessee Virtual Academy.

The education for just over 1,000 students in grades K-8 may be virtual, but those dollars are real. And this year the enrollment could double.

The Virtual Academy is owned by K12 Inc., a company founded by former U.S. Education Secretary William Bennett and former junk-bond king Michael Milken.

Who thinks this is a good idea?

State Rep. Harry Brooks does. He was the law’s prime sponsor and says he and his colleagues on the House Education Committee had been working to develop a virtual education option for local school districts for some time.

He said Tennessee schools did not have much to offer children with such conditions as autism or se-

Betty Bean vere allergies, or those who were victims of bullying, or students whose parents want enriched, individualized curriculum options.

Brooks said no one in Nashville asked Union County to spearhead the effort. “What Union County did that was unique is that they were able to set up a process to contract to run this K-8 school. No one gave them that responsibility. …

They applied for a school number and the Department of Education granted it.”

Anyone else on board?

Not professional educators. In a March 2012 article in “Education Week,” two University of Wisconsin School of Education professors were scathingly critical of the Tennessee law which

they said was lifted nearly verbatim from the Virtual Public Schools Act written by the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC).

A K12 Inc. lobbyist helped write the model bill, the article reported.

Not state Rep. Mike Stewart, who told Nashville News Channel 5 the chief executive officer of K12 made $2.4 million in 2010. “Every new student they sign up is essentially pure profit for them with a few ancillary costs,” Stewart said.

Not even state Rep. Bill Dunn, who home-schooled his kids and voted for the law. Dunn said K12 may be overcompensated since the funding mechanism was designed for brick and mortar schools that are inherently more expensive to operate than cyber schools. Dunn said he and Stewart have similar concerns and may join forces next year to introduce legislation to remedy the funding formula.

Perhaps not Rep. Ryan Haynes, who also voted for the law. Haynes wanted to give students a way to access course work unavailable to them in their local schools.

“That is the impression that a majority of lawmakers were under, and that was

how that bill was sold to the General Assembly,” he said.

Certainly not Union County Trustee Gina Buckner, who had to explain why the county’s fund balance dropped from $11.4 million at the end of June to $5.9 million at the end of July.

Buckner said she paid an invoice from K12.

“The commissioners wanted to know what happened,” Buckner said later.

“They knew about the virtual academy but I don’t think they realized how much money was coming through, and then you realize that it’s going to a for-profit in Virginia and that some of them are felons and bank frauds, I’m jumping up and down.”

Brooks ascribed much of the criticism of his bill to “an organization out there that is really bent to try and do away with ALEC,” and said doing business with out-of-state corporations is nothing new.

“Everybody we purchase from is out of state – including the people we buy testing and curriculum materials from,” he said, adding that if the Tennessee Virtual Academy doesn’t produce good results, the state could take it over from Union County in two years.

Politics of Carter Middle’s gym A new multi-million dollar gymnasium for Carter Middle School has been delayed and may be heading for the graveyard of possibly good ideas.

At Monday’s called meeting of the school board, Indya Kincannon moved to defer the project, for which bids came in over budget.

With $2.5 million set aside, the low bid by Merit Construction was $3.1 million.

The project was whittled to $2.75 million.

Kincannon pointedly questioned Dr. Jim McIntyre: “Is there a health or safety issue that requires this project?”

Answer: “No, ma’am.”

“Does this gymnasium advance our academic goals?

Answer: “No, ma’am.”

Kincannon moved to defer until October, past the deadline for Merit Construction to hold its price.

Cindy Buttry, Mike McMillan and Kim Sepesi rallied to Carter’s aid, but board sentiment was for deferral. Finally, Kincannon agreed to defer until the board’s September meeting, which means the commission can’t consider the issue today (Aug. 27).

Is this political? You bet.

Sandra Clark

Each school board district has capital needs. It’s hard to spend $2.75 million for a new gym for Carter when half the kids at Shannondale are in portable classrooms.

You know the list. It was covered in the school board’s budget which County Commission did not fully fund. One board member voted no: McMillan. One commissioner led the fight against it: Dave Wright.

This writer supported a new elementary school for Carter. So did a majority of the school board, including Kincannon. But a new Carter gym was part of the previous plan to renovate the current gym for use by the elementary school.

Mayor Burchett “found” the money to build a new elementary school, taking the need for a new middle school gym off the table.

Let’s move on.

For a district whose rep-

resentatives never support taxes to pay for projects, the 8th District is doing well.

The Carter Middle School gym should be lined up with all other school needs as the board sorts out its next capital budget.

GOSSIP AND LIES ■ Gossip is hot about a possible resignation in the Courthouse. Already lining up for the not-yet-vacant post are R. Larry Smith and former commissioner Craig Leuthold.

■ Chris Caldwell, our county’s new finance director, was asked the impact of giving a $1,000 bonus to each county employee who takes training.

“Uh, that’s 2,000 times 1,000,” said Chris. “I don’t have a calculator. Oh! $2 million.”

A

s big openers go, this is size XXL for Derek Dooley, Tyler Bray, the new running attack and the new defense.

Opening games are not all the same. Who and where are factors.

Value fluctuates.

Robert R. Neyland had a 19-2 record in openers. Only four were on the road. He lost one at Georgia Tech. Mississippi State was a surprise winner on Shields-Watkins Field.

Some fallen foes were named Carson-Newman, Maryville, Centre, Sewanee, Mercer and Chattanooga. The General made his own schedule. He was not a gambling man.

Doug Dickey might have had a

national championship in 1967 but for the opener at UCLA. On fourth and two, quarterback Gary Beban unraveled a weaving, 20-yard touchdown run that took all the fun out of visiting Disneyland.

Bill Battle endured a homeopening loss to Duke in 1976 because Tennessee could not kick, run or pass for extra points. The score was 21-18. Not incidentally, that was Battle’s final season as coach.

Tennessee lost six openers in John Majors’ first seven years.

Most of the damage was inflicted by name opponents. Majors’ record improved when Washington State, New Mexico, Colorado State and Southwestern Louisiana got on the schedule.

Phillip Fulmer went 14-3 in opening games. His teams lost twice at UCLA and once at Cal. The 1994 defeat at Pasadena included heartbreak. Senior QB Jerry Colquitt, after waiting forever behind Heath Shuler, suffered a devastating knee injury on the seventh play.

The opening triumph that mattered most was 1998. Tenthranked Tennessee went to Syracuse not knowing what to expect.

Peyton Manning and Leonard Little were in the NFL. Al Wilson remained on duty. Tee Martin was making his first start. Syracuse had Donovan McNabb.

Martin completed nine of 26 for 143 yards and two touchdowns to Peerless Price. Tee ran for 81 and a touchdown. Jamal Lewis rushed for 141 yards. McNabb had a huge day, 22 of 28. Syracuse gained 445.

The Vols led 14-10 at halftime and 24-13 going into the fourth quarter. What remained turned into a roller-coaster. Syracuse scored, got the ball back and scored

We had a lovely lunch at Anne’s dining room table, with some of her friends from the neighborhood and the church. We were lingering around the table after dessert, when Anne suggested, “Well, why don’t we move into the living room and have a baby shower?�

No wonder she told me “Don’t not come.� I was the guest of honor!

So here we are these 20some years later, 700 miles apart, and still best friends.

And it turns out that the week I was able to come (and the week Anne was going to be reasonably free to visit) is the week Anne and

again. Tee answered, leading an 80 yard drive, highlighted by his 55-yard scramble on third and 10.

The Big Orange was up by four. The home orange got a field goal.

Now, I understand that I owe them big-time. When I moved back to Tennessee from New Jersey, Anne helped me pack my kitchen, and then they loaded up their car with their four kids and John’s tools and drove to Tennessee to help us move into the old farmhouse we had bought. John and my husband renovated the long-unused little office on the property; Anne unpacked the very dishes she had packed in New Jersey.

Dan, their eldest, cleaned out the old chicken coop.

What a lovely job! (In one of

life’s great circles, Dan and his wife will be the ones who live in the house we are working on this week.)

The younger kids played all over the 42 acres: roaming amidst the cows and organizing a musical show in the barn loft, much to the disgust of the red fox, who threw me a “Who-arethese-varmints?� look as he abandoned his den under the barn.

So, here we are, together again, pulling out old carpeting, painting cabinets, refurbishing, making new.

It set me thinking of the work I need to do at my own house: sorting, tossing,

cleaning; and of the similar work that I should do inside my head and heart and soul.

My spiritual house could use a good sweeping out as well. There are some things I need to get rid of: grudges, regrets, envy, fear.

There are a few things I probably should reconsider and re-examine: priorities, dreams, goals.

And I need to remember three lines of wonderful and anonymous advice I used to keep posted in my office: Give it up; Let it go; Set it free.

As usual, it took us several rounds of negotiating to find a mutually convenient time for my visit: we are – all of us – busy people.

I should have learned ages ago to expect the unexpected with this crew.

For example, one day a few months after I met Anne, and when I was expecting Eden, she invited me to her home for lunch with some of her friends. She suggested that if I could find a babysitter for Jordan (who was not quite 3) that would be best. “But,� she advised, “don’t not come if you can’t find a sitter. Just bring her with you.�

A-6 • AUGUST 27, 2012 • BEARDEN SHOPPER-NEWS

Religious life in Concord Village MALCOLM’S CORNER | Malcolm Shell Today, in large metropolitan areas, you only have to walk about a block to hear several languages being spoken. With the significant increase in the merging of cultures during the past several decades, religious beliefs have f lourished accordingly. And in a country known for its tolerance of different religious beliefs, immigrants of different cultures feel secure in transporting their religion with them.

In the early settlement of our area, most migrants who crossed over the mountains were Ulster Scots. Like today’s immigrants, they brought their religion with them, which was mostly Presbyterian. Over several decades other Protestant religions began to take hold. So today, religious beliefs in our area are almost as diverse as

in large metropolitan areas.

But in Concord Village 60 years ago, there were only three Christian Protestant denominations: Presbyterian, Methodist and Baptist. And in keeping with the tradition of diversity and tolerance, they all got along very well. To my knowledge, there was no one of the Catholic or Middle Eastern faith living in the village. There was an A.M.E. Zion church, whose membership was predominately AfricanAmerican, and like the other three churches, they interacted with other denominations in the community from time to time.

As a young child, I remember going with my friend on specific nights during the summer and sitting on the outside steps to listen to music there. It was truly inspirational.

Numbers game Hyams predicts good ones for UT Vols

By Sherri Gardner Howell Numbers both on and off the scoreboard will tell the tale for the University of Tennessee Volunteers this football season: 60,000 season tickets sold for 2012 are not enough; eight wins will be enough; 37 student tickets left out of 4,600 for the opener

in Atlanta is more than enough.

Jimmy Hyams, co-host of the top-rated radio show “SportsTalk,” brought an update and his thoughts on everything “orange” to the Aug. 22 meeting of the Rotary Club of Farragut.

Hyams talked about football and basketball, Bruce Pearl’s future, Cuonzo Martin and Holly Warlick and even Minnesota Vikings recruit Harrison Smith. Here are some of his thoughts:

In fact, denominational differences were never given much consideration. We only knew that a neighbor went to the white frame church on the corner or the red brick church a block away, or the cream-colored brick church on the corner of Front Street and Olive Road. And it was not unusual for someone to visit all three churches during a month, and they were never considered by the host church as prospective members. Indeed, such a solicitation would have been considered rude.

My family belonged to Concord Methodist Church which was founded in the mid-19th century by John Stone. For a number of years services were held in his home.

When the Masonic building was built in 1870, the Methodists used that facility until 1877 when they joined the Presbyterians in their new church at the corner of Second and Clay streets. The two congregations worshiped together and attended Sunday school together until 1920 when the Methodists built their new church at the corner of Second Street and Olive Road.

Meeting together was advantageous to both denominations

Derek Dooley needs to win no less than eight games this season to not be in danger of losing his job as head coach. Hyams predicts an 8 wins, 4 losses season, with losses to Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina and one more.

Sam Pittman, new Vols offensive line coach, was a good hire. “He relates to the players, can motivate and is a good teacher.

“UT sold 60,000 season tickets for 2012 football.

That isn’t enough and is the fewest they have sold since the stadium expansion. The pressure is on to increase fan support.”

since each depended on circuit riders who only preached two Sundays each month. But by combining the two, and making some slight changes in scheduled Sundays, they could enjoy a sermon every week. The Baptist denomination was started by marble quarry workers from upper East Tennessee who built their first church on Olive Road in the late 19th century.

One tradition was the fifth Sunday night singing. On each month that had five Sundays, the singings were rotated between churches. And as I recall, the Baptists were collectively the best singers. However, each church had individuals who were talented. In our church, Mrs. Evelyn Boring Bondurant, who attended the New England Conservatory of Music, was an exceptional soprano.

The Baptist and Methodist churches were only located about 50 feet apart and neither had a central cooling system. So, during the summer months they left the windows open, and, if you listened carefully, you could get the benefit of two separate sermons. However, one problem that was never solved was the coordination of praying and singing. When one was praying,

Tennessee still travels well. “Out of 4,600 tickets set back for students for the opening game in Georgia against North Carolina State, all but 37 tickets have been sold. There will be a lot of orange at the Chick-fil-A opener.

“I don’t believe Bruce Pearl will coach again at UT because I believe we have a winner in Cuonzo Martin.” Hyams says he believes Pearl will find a good fit with ESPN as a commentator this year and “may come to see himself as the man to step in for Dick Vitale.”

■ Holly Warlick not only has big shoes to fill,

the other would be singing and vice-versa.

Another distraction was speed boats running up and down the lake pulling skiers.

And I can remember our minister exclaiming that, “They are going to hell.” I always wondered about that exclamation because I didn’t know whether he was condemning them because they were not in church or because they were interfering with his sermon.

Today, the only original church remaining in the village is Concord Presbyterian.

Both the Baptist and Methodist churches moved to their current locations in Farragut in the early 1960s and have experienced tremendous growth.

But one element that has been lost is the feeling of community which has been replaced with competition for new members.

And, of course, all three churches have a wonderful music ministry, but they no longer carry out the traditions of fifth Sunday night singings, joint picnics and fish fries.

Perhaps some of these traditions can be revived in this growing community, which would go a long way toward promoting the small village atmosphere.

Jimmy Hyams predicts eight wins for the UT Vols this football season. Photo by Sherri Gardner Howell but “they weren’t going to be that good this year anyway. It is hard to replace a legend and will be

a tough year and challenge for Holly.”

■ Recruiting for men’s and women’s basketball is big this year. The women “need another star like a Chamique Holdsclaw and Tamika Catchings. UT men have six of the top 60 prospects in the nation right here in Tennessee this year. Cuonzo Martin needs to get two of them.”

■ Harrison Smith, former Catholic High School and Notre Dame gridiron star will do well with the Minnesota Vikings. “What a great guy. I think he will do really, really well, and the Vikings think he is going to be really good.”

Pasta cook-off raises $50k for Family Promise

By Theresa Edwards Family Promise of Knoxville reached its goal of $50,000 at the 2012 pasta cook-off at Sacred Heart Cathedral.

“We’re excited, very happy,” exclaimed event chair Pam Douglas. “It’s worth the work. This provides the operating funds for Family Promise of Knoxville.”

“It’s been great. Everybody is happy,” said Joyce Shoudy, executive director of Family Promise. “We’ve been recruiting sponsors for several months.” They had $43,000 raised before the event even began.

Family Promise is a nonprofit organization which helps homeless and lowincome families achieve sustainable independence.

It provides a day place where people can use a computer, telephone, laundry facilities, and storage.

It provides an address so clients can apply for various assistance programs such as food stamps.

Overnight stays are made available at 16 area churches. A shuttle transports children to school and adults to either work or the day house.

Services provided have helped four families or 14 family members at a time.

The group needs a new day center to enable a second rotation to serve more families. Their service is unlike various shelters in that the families stay together.

The pasta cook-off involved many volunteers’ efforts. It was a fantastic event bringing hundreds to enjoy the great food, live band entertainment by Y’uns, inflatable slides for children, gift

The gift shop contained many items made by guests, including cards handmade with children’s artwork.

Jewelry was made and donated by Denessee McBayne, a graduate of the Family Promise program who now has independent housing and a job. She is the group’s newest board member.

The pasta cook-off winner chosen by the celebrity judges was Team 3 – Church of the Ascension Episcopal Church, Church Street United Methodist Church and First Christian Church. Lisa Holts cooked the winning Beale Street BBQ Spaghetti from Ann O’Connor’s recipe.

The crowd pleaser award again went to Team 7 – First Farragut United Methodist Church, First Presbyterian Church of Lenoir City and St. Elizabeth Episcopal Church – with Vegetarian Lasagna made with Spinach.

NEWS FROM SEQUOYAH DENTAL ARTS

Moss joins Sequoyah Dental Arts

By Shannon Carey Patients at Sequoyah Dental Arts are in good hands.

Owner Dr. Pablo Foncea is taking a year away from the practice to do mission work in Guatemala. He and his family are dedicating a year to helping orphaned children there.

After careful consideration, Dr. Foncea selected Dr. Whittaker Moss, a graduate of UT Knoxville and UT’s College of Dentistry in Memphis, to be his associate in the practice.

Dr. Moss worked side-by-side with Dr. Foncea for a month before Dr. Foncea left for the mission field. Now, Dr. Moss will continue to care for patients at Sequoyah Dental Arts, and he is accepting new patients as well.

“Dr. Foncea and I really have similar ideas and philosophies about dentistry,”

said Dr. Moss.

Sequoyah Dental Arts patients are used to an excellent standard of care, with a focus on helping patients relax and even enjoy dental treatments. The office is decorated to create a calm, inviting, spa-like atmosphere. There are even state-of-the-art video glasses in two of the exam rooms through which patients can view movies while receiving treatment.

But the movies aren’t the only high-tech items at Sequoyah Dental Arts. From anesthesia techniques to materials available for aesthetic restoration, Dr. Moss said the latest dentistry technology can help make a patient’s experience far more comfortable than they may remember.

“Some patients are scared because of an experience they had many years ago,” he said.

Fred White recalls Vols glory days

By Anne Hart Fred White was a 4-year-old living in Griffin, Ga., when he watched the University of Georgia’s 1982 Heisman Trophy winner Herschel Walker play football on TV. “That was when Fred White I grabbed a football for the first time,” former UT Vols standout Fred White told West Knox Rotarians last week. “I’ve loved the game ever since.”

White was recruited by some big names, including Notre Dame, but his grandfather, who was screening the coaches, chose UT after he watched coach Phillip Fulmer, “in his nice shoes, walk through the muddy, plowed fields like it was nothing to look at the crops.”

White played for UT with Peyton Manning, Tee Martin and other greats, and was a member of the 1998 team that won the SEC championship, went on to become national champions and was the only team in UT history to achieve a 13-0 season.

It was all about teamwork, White said. Members of the team were close friends then and have stayed close friends through the years since – so close that 35 members of that group recently traveled to Puerto Rico for the wedding of a teammate.

The rule they played by, White said, was “you play for the guy beside you first, the team second and then the coaches and fans. We worked hard every day and pulled each other up.”

White’s prediction for this year: “I think they’re going to be a very, very good football team. They have lots of talent. It will be Dooley’s best team.”

“Things are a lot better now. Even injections are less painful. With new materials that are out, even patients without teeth can chew apples and corn on the cob when they never thought they could.”

Dr. Moss loves helping people. When deciding on a career, he shadowed medical professionals in several fields, and he quickly realized that dentistry was right for him.

“A lot of people come in with a problem you can fix that day,” he said. “I want to help people in the most conservative way possible.”

Dr. Foncea will be back in the summer of 2013, but Dr. Moss is planning on putting down roots in Knoxville.

School bus safety

By Rob Webb It’s the start to another school year, and kids are already back in the classroom and on the roads.

More than 23 million students across the United States begin and end their days on a school bus.

Webb Many parents don’t realize, however, that the greater danger lies not with riding the bus but with traveling to and from the bus stop and getting on and off the bus.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, more kids die when hit by a school bus than while riding in one. Bus drivers have a blind spot of approximately 10

feet around a bus, which can be a difficult concept for younger children. Half of the pedestrians involved in school bus accidents are between the ages of 5 and 7.

As you prepare your kids for school with backpacks, paper and pencils, make sure you also provide them with information about getting to school safely.

Here are a few tips: ■ Arrive at the bus stop at least five minutes before the bus is scheduled to arrive.

■ When the bus approaches, stand at least three giant steps away from the curb, and line up away from the street.

■ Wait until the bus stops, the door opens and the driver says it’s OK before entering the bus.

■ Never walk behind the bus.

■ Walk where the driver can see you and you can see the driver. Walk

■ Be careful that clothing with drawstrings and book bags with straps don’t get caught in the handrails or doors.

■ Cross the street with an adult until age 10.

■ Cross the street at corners, using traffic signals and crosswalks.

■ Never run out into the street or cross between parked cars.

Adults must also prepare for the new school year. Drivers should drive more slowly and carefully before and after school hours and be alert for children walking in the street, especially near bus stops.

And remember: Yellow flashing lights on a school bus indicate the bus is preparing to stop, and red flashing lights mean cars must come to a complete stop on both sides of the street to allow children to cross.

With attention to these safety rules, both kids and parents can enjoy a safe school year.

The Arts:

An Integral Part of the Webb Experience

By Scott Hutchinson, Webb School President

Webb’s Upper School fine arts program offers more than 30 different classes. Students can sign up for ceramics, photography, drawing, painting, three-dimensional design, scenic or set design, digital imaging, drama, band and strings courses, and all levels of choral music.

T

he role of the arts in the development of a young person’s life cannot be overestimated. In all of its various forms, the arts provide fundamental avenues for self-expression and self-exploration, and their inclusion in a full school experience is critical. At Webb School of Knoxville, the arts add balance to a rigorous academic day and provide a needed and Hutchinson varied outlet for students in all three divisions.

In Webb’s Lower School, all students – kindergarten through grade five – participate in the arts program. Students take both visual arts and music classes twice a week. In visual arts, children express their ideas through both two- and three-dimensional forms. They develop skills in drawing, painting, collage, printmaking, ceramics, and fiber arts as they explore basic art concepts. The Lower School’s music classes consist of a broadbased, multi-faceted curriculum designed to provide a foundation of musical concepts and skills; and expose students to a variety of musical styles. In addition to those two staples, Lower School children may take dance classes or private strings instruction,

Those introductory experiences in the Lower and Middle Schools prepare students to more fully participate in the Upper School fine arts program, which offers more than 30 different classes.

Upper School students may take classes in ceramics, photography, drawing, painting, three-dimensional design, scenic or set design, digital imaging, drama, band, strings, and all levels of choral music. In addition, they have the opportunity both fall and spring to be part of a large drama/ musical production.

At Webb School of Knoxville, the arts add balance to a rigorous academic day and provide a needed and varied outlet for students in all three divisions.

To complement its arts curriculum, Webb School offers an Artist-InResidence Program, an on-campus teaching and learning experience for students. The program provides a view into the real world of art by exposing students to professional artists and inspiring them to explore their own creative abilities.

During their four- to six-week tenures at Webb each fall and spring, guest artists critique student work and supplement instruction, as well as work on their own pieces. Now in its 11th year, Webb’s ArtistIn-Residence Program has hosted nationally acclaimed artists recognized for their work in a myriad of media.

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

The chill of victory Parkwest surgeon lands spot in U.S. Ski Team physician pool You’ll have to pardon Dr. Chris Shaver if the recent Summer Olympics in London weren’t his cup of tea. No, his sport is best served cold with lots of sugar.

That’s because Shaver, an orthopedic surgeon at Parkwest Medical Center, has a lifelong love affair with the ski slopes – one that has now earned him a place in the physician pool for the United States Ski Team.

“Free ski and moguls is my cup of tea,” Shaver said, referring to the two alpine events he loves best.

“Skiing is a sport where, unless you get to the level of these guys on the U.S. Ski Team, there are no rules – you just go out, and if it’s fun, you do it. You can go fast. You can go slow.

You can try tricks, and on every run you can try to make yourself better or you can just have a nice, relaxing afternoon.”

Although he first applied in 2009 (the same year he began his practice), it wasn’t until last summer that the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association (USSA) informed Shaver of his selection as a U.S. Ski Team physician.

The lengthy approval process included, of course, requisite background and reference checks, followed by an intensive medical emergency workshop in Beaver Creek, Colo., and finally his first test assignment – the NorAm Freestyle Moguls and NorAm Aerials in Park City, Utah, events that attracted not only former World Cup skiers looking to make a comeback from injury, but also other international athletes and club teams.

“During that period, I was evaluated for getting along with the athletes, getting along with the coaches, knowing what I’m talking about and being available,” said Shaver.

“They don’t really evaluate your skiing skills although I assumed if you’re interested in doing this that you can get down a hill pretty quickly. I mean, one of the requirements is that you need to be able to ski a World Cup course. You don’t have to ski it at the speed these athletes do, but you have to be able to get down it safely and get to the athletes in an expedient manner.”

Shaver laughs when asked for a self-evaluation of his ski skills.

“That’s a hard question – I could always get better, much better,” he said. “When I’m out West, I’m probably a 6 or 7 out of 10. I can get down anything on the mountain – it might not be pretty, but there’s nothing I can’t get down, and I can make some things look kind of pretty. Here in the western North Carolina mountains, I’m probably a 9 out of 10 but that comes with the territory. It’s a whole different ballgame when you’re skiing with people who ski 110 days out of the year for 20 years and you only ski 10 days out of the year.”

Shaver admits that he’s something of an oddity on the ski slopes – a Southern boy from Greeneville, Tenn., who was hooked on his first ski trip with a church group to Sugar Mountain, N.C. “I looked like the normal Southern Appalachian firsttime skier in my camouflage and a

Dr. Chris Shaver, shown on the slopes of Park City, Utah, during last year’s NorAm Freestyle Moguls event, looks forward to his next assignments with the U.S. Ski Team’s physician pool.

Shaver, who learned to ski on the mountains of western North Carolina, is right at home on the moguls course in Park City, Utah.

Shaver says trying to keep up with World Cup events is difficult in East Tennessee where football tends to dominate the sports pages.

blaze orange UT jacket, but I fell in love with it,” he said.

Before long, he and his buddies were spending most winter weekends on Sugar Mountain or Beech Mountain. Sometimes, they even made weekday trips after school for night skiing, returning home around midnight.

As a college freshman, he was elected to the cabinet of the University of Tennessee Ski and Snowboard Club and began organizing trips to ski resorts out West. “When I went to medical school, I kept that up, not with the UT ski team but I organized ski trips for my med school classmates,” said Shaver.

“Then, when I got into residency, I would find educational courses that coincided with the mountains. So I would get up at 6 in the morning, go do the education until 9 or 10, ski the rest of the day, and then back to studying from 4 until 7 p.m.”

It was during this time that he first heard about the U.S. Ski Team’s physician pool through one of his residency teachers, Dr. Jason Folk.

Folk, an orthopedist in Greenville, S.C., was a member of the physician pool and would spend two weeks each summer with the U.S. team when it trained in New Zealand.

“He would tell me all these stories about it, and I knew it was something I’d like to do too,” said Shaver. “So, I just kept bugging him, kept saying, ‘Jason, you’ve got to re-

member me. I want to get involved in this.’ ” Before he could officially join the pool of about 120 physicians (primarily general practitioners from ski towns and orthopedic surgeons from around the country), Shaver had to attend the Medical Emergency in Skiing and Snowboarding (MESS) Corps’ workshop.

“It was a three- or four-day in-

range from anything like a sprained ankle all the way to “something that would make you think they’d been in a car accident.”

“Some of these guys are going 70, 80, 90 miles per hour on certain courses, and it’s literally like they are having a car wreck without the car around them,” he said. “They wipe out and go into the fence or go into a flip, and it’s essentially a car

Some of these guys are going 70, 80, 90 miles per hour on certain courses, and it’s literally like they are having a car wreck without the car around them.

- Dr. Chris Shaver tensive primer on the type of emergencies that you’ll see on the hill in skiing and snowboarding, what to evaluate for and what to do,” explained Shaver. “Some of those things were commonplace for what I do in my practice or my normal training and some were not. For example, they give you these kits to put in chest tubes like the emergency room physicians do in trauma bays. I haven’t had to do that, but some have had to do that on the slope because of collapsed lungs or things like that.”

Ski injuries, Shaver said, can

wreck. So, the injuries, especially, in downhill can be horrific.”

Should he encounter a serious or life-threatening injury on the slopes, Shaver said, his role would be to stabilize the patient before sending them on to the local hospital.

“I think some people have somewhat of a misperception of what I’m doing,” he said. “Obviously, I’m not licensed to perform orthopedic surgery in Utah or Sweden or something like that. But what I do is evaluate the athletes when they have an injury or when they have a nagging problem. I evaluate what I think

The Hip (and Knee) Place to Be

their problem is or what I think the injury they’ve sustained is. Is this something that they can continue to compete on? Do we need to put them in a brace? Do we need to tape them up? Do we need to get them on certain medications or physical therapy regimens? Do they need Xrays or MRIs or go to the emergency room? There are certain things that we wouldn’t and can’t do medically on the hill – attempt to definitively treat life-threatening injuries, major dislocations, severe concussions and things like that.”

Another common misperception, Shaver said, is that he’ll be attending the 2014 Winter Olympics in Russia. Plum assignments like that, he said, go to veteran physicians in the pool who are able to make the required four- to six-week commitment.

Instead, he’s eagerly awaiting his next assignment – a moguls event in Stowe, Vt., later this winter.

“With three small children (ages 7, 5 and 22 months), I’m probably going to stay in the States or Canada,” he says. “I don’t really want to be in Norway. But later on, when my children are a little older, we’ll do that and we’ll make it a family vacation.”

Feeling overwhelmed by all the mixed messages out there about food?

Frustrated and just wanting to figure out what works for you? Every person’s body is unique. Each of us have a different biochemistry that determines how our bodies use food and what food we like and don’t like. Ultimately, our bodies are communicating with us all the time, and our job is to listen, identify what they’re asking for, and respond appropriately. We work with people who are sick and tired of feeling sick and tired - be that chronic headaches, digestive upset, low energy levels, extra weight, or generally not feeling good. Together, we’ll unravel the complexity around food, listen to your body’s signals, and give it what it needs to heal itself, shed pounds, and truly thrive!

Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center gives woman her smile back On her 23rd birthday last September, Angela Conner of Corryton didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel well enough to celebrate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just felt really tired,â&#x20AC;? remembers Conner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was supposed to go out with friends and family, but I felt so terrible I went to bed.â&#x20AC;?

The next morning, Conner collapsed while taking a shower. Her mother rushed her to a Knoxville hospital, where they misdiagnosed her with a migraine headache.

The doctor gave her a shot and sent her home.

Unfortunately, Conner was not better.

She slept for nearly 48 hours. And when she woke up, she was suddenly paralyzed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t move at all,â&#x20AC;? Conner says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was completely paralyzed. I yelled for my father, and he took me to the hospital.â&#x20AC;?

Choosing a different hospital this time,

â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I got to the Patricia Neal Center, I was completely paralyzed, including my face.

I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t smile and could hardly talk.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Angela Conner was very slurred,â&#x20AC;? she says. The paralysis stopped just short of reaching her lungs, but Conner spent 10 days in the Intensive Care Unit. Because she was still paralyzed when she was discharged from the hospital, Conner was sent to Knoxvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center located at Fort Sanders Regional. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That is when I started my recovery,â&#x20AC;?

Conner admits. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I got there, I was

completely paralyzed, including my face. I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t smile and could hardly talk.â&#x20AC;?

Conner worked daily with the Centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s specialized team of physical, speech and occupational therapists to restore her movement and speech. She wanted to walk again, of course. But there was another big goal for Conner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really wanted to smile again, because smiling is everything,â&#x20AC;? explains Conner,

Rebuilding lives at Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center An estimated six million people live with some form of paralysis, most often caused by stroke or spinal cord injury.

Since 1978, the Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center has offered advanced treatment for stroke, spinal cord injuries and other life-altering events that impair mobility and brain function. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Patricia Neal is an acute inpatient rehabilitation facility,â&#x20AC;? explains Mary Dillon, M.D., medical director of the Center. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a hospital level of care, so the rehabilitation is occurring almost immediately after the acute event. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the most intense, comprehensive, specialized care you can ďŹ nd.â&#x20AC;?

With 73 inpatient beds, the Patricia Neal Center is nationally known for its rehabilitation of spinal cord patients.

But many donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also for stroke patients as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our patients work hard, but it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t boot camp,â&#x20AC;? says Dillon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have taken care of all

ages, even including someone who was over 100!â&#x20AC;?

Patricia Neal offers state-of-the-art equipment that many other rehab centers donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have. The center features training kitchens, bathrooms, and even an apartment where patients practice everyday tasks.

The center holds 15 accreditations by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities and each physician is boardcertiďŹ ed in physical medicine and rehabilita-

tion, a specialty not often found in other care settings.

And perhaps most importantly, the Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center has a staff of doctors, nurses, physical and occupational therapists, speech language experts, behavioral medicine specialists, RT case managers, dietitians and numerous others working together as an interdisciplinary team to develop an individual treatment plan speciďŹ cally for each patientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When people ask why Patricia Neal is the place to go, I tell them that we are a comprehensive rehabilitation center,â&#x20AC;? explains Dr. Dillon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our staff supports you in each stage of your recovery. Ultimately, our goal is to help each patient become as independent as possible. We strive to restore abilities and rebuild lives.â&#x20AC;?

Conner received a spinal tap and an unusual diagnosis: Guillain-BarrĂŠ syndrome, which is a serious disorder that occurs when the bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s immune system mistakenly attacks the nervous system. This leads to severe muscle weakness and, in many cases, paralysis.

Connerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s paralysis spread from her legs and arms toward her lungs, and she was admitted to the intensive care unit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My lungs were collapsing; my speech

who did promotional modeling and beauty pageants as a girl. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even if I could never walk again, I wanted to be able to smile.â&#x20AC;?

The rehabilitation therapists at Patricia Neal worked to give Conner much to smile about.

For the next six weeks, they helped Conner regain her physical skills and strength.

She recovered more quickly than anyone expected. By November, Conner was able to use her hands well enough to open a soda can. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was on top of the world that day,â&#x20AC;? she remembers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My faith in God and my family and the people at Patricia Neal were a huge part of my recovery.â&#x20AC;?

At Thanksgiving, Conner was still in a wheelchair, but doing outpatient therapy at Patricia Neal. By Christmas, Conner was taking steps using a walker. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a tremendous achievement, and I am very blessed,â&#x20AC;? says Conner.

She ďŹ nished with outpatient therapy in February 2012. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On my last day of therapy, I was running laps,â&#x20AC;? she laughs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My experience at Patricia Neal was great. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what I would have done without the people there.â&#x20AC;?

Best of all, Conner can smile again. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I did get my smile back. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little different â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still healing and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still a little paralysis on my face. But then Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a different person now, too,â&#x20AC;? says Conner.

Today she is back at work and taking care of her young son. Conner greatly appreciates the care she received and recommends Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center to anyone recovering from a brain injury or illness. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Going through something like this is life changing, but the people at Patricia Neal help you adjust. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re always smiling and welcoming. They care. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more than a job for them.â&#x20AC;?

Physical therapists at Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center helped 24-year-old Angela Conner regain her independence after a rare muscle disorder left her paralyzed.
