News from Concord Christian School
Theatre Arts class presents ‘Selfie’ and ‘Redeemed’ By Kelly Norrell A pair of short plays to be performed by Concord Christian School students will offer contrasting ways of viewing tough problems besetting high school students. The plays, to be at Concord Kids Theatre Friday, Nov. 4 at 7 p.m., are “Selfie” by acclaimed Canadian playwright Bradley Hayward, and “Redeemed,” written by CCS theatre arts director Christi Watson and the CCS Production Lab Class of 2016. As CCS junior Abby Hyers, 16, put it: “‘Selfie’ teaches that life isn’t about how others see you, but about how you see yourself. What we did in ‘Redeemed’ is talk about how God sees you.” The Production Lab Class for grades 9-12 is only a portion of CCS Theatre Arts, which also offers beginning and advanced acting classes for middle school students. In the spring, Production Lab Class students will perform the musical “The Little Mermaid.” The subject matter of “Selfie” and “Redeemed” represents an ambitious and deeply felt undertaking by the 16 students ages 15-18 and Watson, a seasoned actor and singer. “Selfie,” which has been performed by high school companies around the world, presents a group of high school seniors dealing with problems like bullies, school pressure, sparring parents, sickness and their own self-judgment. Their continuous taking of selfies shows their absorption with how they look to others. But when one of the characters, Laura, discovers she has a mortal illness, they begin to care more about what they think of themselves. “It does feel real. We can all see people struggling with their own problems like being an outcast, being angry at the world, and not liking their appearance,” said Nathan Helton, 18,
CCS Production Lab Class members are (Back) Wheat Bailey, Morgan Lee, Mason Curtner, Eli Kniss, Jake Hageman, Nolan Walmsley, Nathan Helton, Blake Filmore; (Front) Theatre Arts director Christi Watson, Gracie Walter, Catherine Holloway, Jay Klenkel, Elizabeth Thacker, Abby Hyers, Andrew Campen, Michala Plato, Rachael Allion. Photos by Kelly Norrell Watson coaches Nathan Helton during practice of “Selfie” a senior. “It helps us to focus on why some people act the way they do, rather than on what they do,” said Mason Curtner, 16, a junior. A stage set by Linda Reedy, CCS academic dean who also has plenty of theatrical experience, and Brandon McBath, arts appreciation teacher, will include a giant iPhone and backdrops with shards of mirror embedded in them. “The point is that the phone is the kids’ world.

Spiritual retreat deepens students’ faith Concord’s Student Government Association did not take much of a break this summer. Members spent their summer planning for the school’s first Spiritual Retreat. Concord senior Abi Jaggers had the vision for this event and led the SGA planning efforts. “We wanted to plan a time and a place for students to see God as the passionately pursuing Father that He is. Our prayer for the retreat was that God would move in big ways - to awaken and unite the Concord Christian High School students. God answered our prayers as we saw a few students come to the Lord and several rededicate their lives to Christ.” Jaggers shared, “It was great to walk around and see the result of our hard work. This event could not have taken place without the prayers of many and the donations from our sponsors. We would like to thank:
Aqua Clear Water, Bulldog Management, Jaggers Construction, The Buchters, Farmer, Kenny, Lightholder, Scott and Spangler families for their generous support.” The students also had fun fellow-
social media,” said Rachael Allion, 17, a senior. The spoken-word play “Redeemed” takes the idea a step further – how God views us in our struggles to cope with life. “We all got together and brainstormed about what we wanted it to say,” said Allion. She said they were drawn to the symbol of cancer, which ravages the body as evil does humanity. Medical therapy, like God’s love, is difficult but transforming. Watson said the writing process was very collaborative as students built

The Knoxville Garden Club hosted its biennial Garden Clubs of America flower show last week at the Wendy Knoxville Museum of Art.

The show had sion − Masters of Couture, plant-based fashions worn by live models during judging. The show blended traditional arrangements with cutting-edge design, said flower show chair Melynda Whetsel. Garden club members flocked around the wearable designs, which were moved to mannequins for the show. Entries were submitted by floral designers from
five divisions: floral design, horticulture, botanical, photography and conservation. The club’s conservation exhibit, which won two GCA awards, was based on the GCA’s Weed Wrangle project to eradicate invasive plant species. Artist Gerry Moll created a deer sculpture from invasive plants for
the entry. The botanical division featured hair combs, mirrors and mourning brooches adorned with dried plant material. The items were chosen to reflect the KMA exhibit Romantic Spirit, which features 30 19th-century masterworks. This is the third KGC show to be held at the KMA.

In 1989, he returned to Knoxville to start his own firm, Design Innovation Architects (DIA). He began with small jobs like houses and apartment buildings. He initially had three partners, but he bought them out within five years and has been the sole owner ever since. Soon after starting the firm, he heard that the design center was seeking funding and volunteers. He didn’t have funds, so he offered his time. He spent 15 years on the board and served as vice president and president. He studied preservation at UT and knew it was something he wanted to do. His first preservation project was the Phoenix Building on Gay Street. While peeling back the layers of previous reconstructions, he wondered why things were done the way they were. As more layers came off, those questions were answered. “It’s almost like you’re doing archaeology on a building.� The magic behind renovations is that you know how you want the building to look in the end, but you have to work backward to get there, he says. While Eid’s renovation projects − the 500 block of Gay Street, Mast General Store and Patrick Sullivan’s Saloon (now Lonesome Dove Western Bistro), to name a few − have made an impact on the character

of downtown, he’s equally proud of the firm’s new construction projects, like Knoxville’s Community Development Corporation’s headquarters on Broadway. He’s also excited about plans for the future Regas Square. Construction is expected to begin on the mixed-use development in November. Having a diverse range of projects in multiple states makes work fun, he says. He feels fortunate to have been involved with like-minded people who saw downtown Knoxville’s potential. He’s learned a lot from preservationists like David Dewhirst, Randy Boyd and ETCDC and Knox Heritage volunteers. “I don’t think I brought anything original to the table,� he says. Modest as he is, Eid acknowledges that clients enjoy working with DIA. The company, which now has 23 employees, has grown through referrals. “We have fun, but we do good work. Also, we serve the community.� The ETCDC brings professional design and planning services to nonprofit groups and agencies that lack the resources to obtain such services through the private sector.

Kudos to David Butler David Butler, 61, is the longest-serving director of the Knoxville Museum of Art which has been in its current headquarters for 26 years. He recently completed a decade of service with significant achievements. Butler came to Knoxville in 2006 from Ulrich Museum of Art at Wichita State University in Kansas. He feels his greatest Butler achievement has been getting the current Museum home renovated, correcting several serious deferred-maintenance issues. Over $6 million was raised including funding for the Cycle of Life by Richard Jolley, given by Steve and Ann Bailey. Additionally but less visible, he has been raising $4 million for an endowment for the Museum which had no endowment when it opened at the World’s Fair Park a quarter of a century ago. Butler credits an incredible team of supporters and volunteers for creating the Museum as it is today. He says he considers it “a privilege to have the job I have, to work with the people I do and to live in Knoxville at this time in its history.” He hopes to retire in Knoxville when he completes his work leading the Museum. He and his partner, Ted Smith, live in South Knoxville. ■ Gov. Bill Haslam last week repudiated Donald Trump, the GOP presidential nominee. He urged Trump to turn the campaign over to Gov. Mike Pence, his running mate. To date only one elected Tennessee Republican has joined him. His father, Jim Haslam, is a $5,400 donor to Trump, but that was before the video with Trump demeaning women surfaced. Give Haslam credit for voicing his true views, even if they came late in the process. While Haslam has maintained strong personal popularity, his public choices for president have not been accepted by his fellow Tennessee Republicans. In 2012, he backed Mitt Romney, who lost in Tennessee to both Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich. In 2016, after backing Jeb Bush, he switched to Marco Rubio a few days before the March 1 primary. Rubio also ran third, behind both Trump and Ted Cruz. (This writer also backed Rubio.) Whether Haslam will
Victor Ashe
spend time promoting this notion of writing in a different Republican for president on Nov. 8 remains to be seen. I think Haslam is being true to his real convictions, which may place him away from the center of the GOP base. He also feels Trump simply should not be president. There is little Tennessee political advantage to him for doing this. Second, the media missed reporting on Tennessee state law which says that candidates who fail to declare their candidacy on a write-in basis within 45 days of the election will not have their vote counted. In other words, this foolish and self-serving law will invalidate the governor’s write-in vote on Nov. 8. He said he would write in the name of another Republican. ■ Congratulations to the Knoxville Botanical Gardens in East Knoxville which was recognized nationally with an American Architecture Award. The new $1.4 million Visitors Center was the reason for the outstanding award. It was one of 370 contenders for the award of which 74 won recognition. These 47 acres have progressed greatly over the past several years with great community support. ■ A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure to tour the new Boys and Girls Club off Broadway. An official opening will occur in November. It is truly impressive and will be an asset to Knoxville. It is already functioning and providing service under the able leadership of Bart McFadden. It serves several thousand young people who otherwise would not be served. We would need to invent this outstanding group if it did not exist.

‘Pumpers’ raise $93K When “Big Jim” Haslam called, elected officials, media personalities and sports figures answered. And this year’s “Pilot Celebrity Pumpers” raised $93,350 for the local United Way. This was a record in the 24-year promotion, topping last year’s total
of $90,400. During the three-day event, Pilot donated five cents of every gallon of gas and 10 cents of every dollar spent in-store to United Way of Greater Knoxville’s 2016 campaign. “The volunteer spirit is alive and well in East Tennessee,” said
Haslam, founder and board chair of Pilot. Since its inception, the special event has raised more than $1.2 million for the United Way. Celebrities included Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett, UT coach Holly Warlick and NASCAR driver Michael Annett.
Will the wrecking ball get Eddie Smith? In the days after the release of the “hot mic” video of Donald Trump bragging that he gropes women with impunity because he’s a star, Gov. Bill Haslam joined a couple dozen other Republican elected officials who declared their disgust and renounced their support of the GOP nominee. The reaction from the nominee’s committed supporters was predictable and harsh, causing some of the Trump critics (mostly members of Congress facing re-election contests) to renounce their renunciations. Trump carried Tennessee handily in the GOP primary, and his supporters, who are numerous and loud, are furious at Haslam, whom they accuse of never liking Trump much anyhow (he supported Marco Rubio in the primary). Haslam hasn’t come back to Trump, but there’s not much Trump’s fans can do to the governor, who is term-limited
Betty Bean and won’t have to face their wrath at the ballot box any time soon. But one of his favorite legislators, District 13 Rep. Eddie Smith, has no such safe haven. The one-term Republican incumbent faces a strong challenge from Gloria Johnson, who was a oneterm Democratic incumbent when he narrowly defeated her in 2014. Haslam has taped a TV commercial declaring “I need your help, Knoxville” and asking voters to support Smith, but this message, now in heavy rotation on cable TV, could be a mixed blessing with Republicans who support Trump and will have little effect on Democrats. And that’s important because the 13th might be

the only true swing district in the state. Harry Tindell (who held the seat for 22 years before retiring from office in 2012) used to call it a “coin toss district” because it can swing either way. Although the last redistricting made it more Republican with the addition of Sequoyah Hills and a chunk of deep south Knox County, the bulk of the district is in North Knoxville where Democrats traditionally thrive, and the country club Republicans of Sequoyah Hills went for Johnson in 2014 and are unlikely to be feeling a lot of love for Trump today. Smith’s task is to keep Republicans happy and peel off a bunch of Democrats, which in this supercharged, polarized environment will require the agility of a Flying Wallenda. Political prognosticator Nate Silver, whose blog, “FiveThirtyEight” (named for the number of votes in
the Electoral College) is required election year reading, rates Tennessee among the deepest red states and pegs Trump’s chances of winning our 11 electoral votes at better than 95 percent. But despite his strong position in the GOP-dominated southern and western states, Trump is tanking among all but the truest believers, and the only real question is how many downballot Republicans he’ll take down with him. We learned the difference between metaphors and similes in eighth grade English. Metaphors use “like” or “as” to compare unlike objects: Donald Trump is like a wrecking ball. Similes dispense with the prepositions and make a direct comparison: Donald Trump is a wrecking ball. We won’t know for sure whether Smith can dodge it until after Nov. 8.

Barnes also speaks optimistically. He says this team is more talented than last year’s (15-19, most losses since 1994). Barnes said the Vols are already better on defense. More depth (six freshmen) matters. The coach has noticed the relative inexperience. “We are young,” he said. He mentioned persuading the rookies to grow up in a hurry. Fans seem skeptical. Season ticket sales are dragging. Attendance was down last year (for the seventh in a row) and there isn’t all that much to get excited about. Well, there was a recruit-
The long, costly road to sidewalks Sidewalks: everybody wants them, but few will get them, unless the budget changes, or neighborhood groups band together to gift property to the city. That was the takeaway from an informational meeting presented to city council members by Public Works director David Brace last week. The city’s budget for new sidewalks is approximately $750,000 per year. The cost of new sidewalks ranges from $100 to $300 per linear foot, depending on the challenges of the terrain and the cost of purchasing right-of-way. Installing sidewalks isn’t simply a matter of laying down four feet of concrete. Sidewalks have to meet Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards and include a curb and gutter. Navigating steep grades, driveways, utility poles and bridges adds additional cost. Sidewalks are always incorporated into new road projects, but that doesn’t
Wendy Smith
offer much hope to neighborhood groups that want sidewalks. Brace passed out a list of 165 requested sidewalks. The combined 75 miles of desired sidewalk would cost $139 million, said Engineering director Jim Hagerman. Each sidewalk request receives a rating from the engineering department based on whether it’s in within a Parental Responsibility Zone (one mile from an elementary school or with 1.5 miles of a middle or high school), whether it’s a missing link between two other sidewalks, the area’s pedestrian usage, the road classification and whether it provides access to public transportation.
Requests are placed on the list based on scoring of the above items. There’s a misconception that it’s a priority list, said Vice Mayor and City Council representative Duane Grieve. The list is a guiding tool, but decisions are based on available funds and circumstances, said Deputy to the Mayor/Chief Operating Officer Christi Branscom. Five items on the list have top scores of 13. The least expensive of those is a $437,500 project on Fairview Street that was requested in December 2008. Two of the top scoring projects have price tags that exceed $1 million. A Sheffield Drive project that’s been prominently supported by West Hills neighbors has a score of 10 and is 35th on the list. The estimated cost is $1.29 million. The most expensive project is a $6.7 million sidewalk on Holston Hills Road that’s 19,400 linear feet. It’s 120th on the list.
City Council representative Nick Della Volpe asked if other cities are facing similar challenges. Branscom said a lack of sidewalks is prevalent in the Southeast, where development tends to be spread out. A few ideas were batted about. Hagerman brought up a local option gas tax to fund sidewalks. Brace said cost would be reduced if a neighborhood group agreed to donate right-of-way for a sidewalk. If that happened, the project would move up the list, Branscom said. There was also a brief discussion of including sidewalks in new subdivision requirements. City Council representative George Wallace said there would be some pushback from developers, but that’s okay. Branscom said sidewalks would be bonded to ensure that developers follow through. “We’ll need your support,” she told city council members.
ing visitor, 6-10 Zach Kent, three-star from Blair (N.J.) Academy. Robert Hubbs is the primary in-house attraction. He worked in the off-season on a maturity plan. If he indeed grows up, provides leadership, takes the ball to the rim now and then, gets some rebounds and improves on defense, he will be the Vols’ main man. Barnes prodded Hubbs from the start of last season to do more and better. This is his last chance to be the star. Say a prayer. If the coach permits, Detrick Mostella might be the other go-to gunner. Shembari Phillips, 6-3, started the last 11 games last season and climbed above average in three-point accuracy. Admiral Schofield, 6-4 or more, ended up resident gladiator. He will battle on the boards. The Vols have a point guard or three for a change. Lamonte Turner, Jordan Bone and Kwe Parker are said to be capable. Barnes says Turner would have started last season had he been eligible. Bone is a
“pure” point recruit. Parker has been a surprise in practice. He can jump. Hmmm, he might be able to guard a guard. Projections say the Vols have wings but the post position remains vacant. Fifthyear transfer Lew Evans isn’t as big as advertised, 6-7 instead of 6-9, and is a wing at heart. Grant Williams was 6-7 in high school but is now 6-5. John Fulkerson, 6-7, is not particularly strong but seems willing. Tall Canadian Kyle Alexander has undoubtedly improved but coaches seem restrained in discussing expectations. In several or many games, the Vols will again be at a disadvantage inside. In numbers, freshmen are the team strength. In theory, Jordan Bowden, Jalen Johnson, Williams, Bone, Parker and Fulkerson are the future. Some will have to play now. Johnson, Parker and Williams are from North Carolina. Fulkerson prepped there. Four ACC schools in the state overlooked them. Marvin West invites reader reaction. His address is westwest6@netzero.com.

The 12-member “orchestra of voices” Chanticleer will perform at the Episcopal Church of the Ascension on Monday, Oct. 24.
Episcopal Church of the Ascension welcomes Chanticleer
By Carol Z. Shane On Monday, Oct. 24, East Tennesseans can hear in person one of the most famous a cappella groups in the world when Chanticleer performs at the Episcopal Church of the Ascension as part of the Friends of Music and the Arts (FOMA) series. Based in San Francisco, the 12-member group is internationally known, according to its website, as “an orchestra of voices.” A three-time Grammy winner, the ensemble is named after the “clear singing rooster” in Geoffrey Chaucer’s “The Canterbury Tales.” Ascension’s music director and organist James Garvey is looking forward to
Chanticleer’s performance. “Chanticleer made its last appearance for FOMA in 2012. For this Knoxville appearance, the ensemble has submitted a program titled ‘My Secret Heart.’ The selections bear out this group’s penchant for wide-ranging programming: music of the Renaissance, including works of Palestrina, Guerrero, Clemens non Papa; music of the Romantics and neo-Romantics, such as Glinka and Rachmaninoff; works of the modern era, including Poulenc; songs from Stephen Foster and George Gershwin; even some pop by Freddie Mercury. And there’s some John Rutter and Edith Piaf included for good measure.” Garvey is particular hap-
py about one detail. “The solo in ‘I Dream of Jeannie’ will be sung by Brian Hinman, a Knoxville native who has been singing with Chanticleer since 2006.” The news of Chanticleer’s concert has spread to local high school choral teachers, and they’re eager for their own students to have time with members of the prestigious group. “In just the last few weeks, a masterclass has come together during the day on the 24th,” says Garvey. “From 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on that Monday, students from the choral departments of three high schools – Powell High School, led by Jim Kennedy, Farragut High School, led by Kenton Deitch, and Hardin Valley Academy, led by
Teresa Scoggins – will come here to work with some of the members of Chanticleer in a masterclass format. Each school will have 30 minutes with which to sing a piece or two. Having that sort of community interaction is the very best thing, to my mind. All 122 participating high school students are coming back in the evening to hear the concert.” In this contentious election season, why not calm the soul with magnificent music from acknowledged masters of their art? Chanticleer performs at 8 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 24, at the Episcopal Church of the Ascension, 800 S. Northshore Drive. Tickets are $30. Info: k nox v i lleascension.org/ foma/ or 865-588-0589.

When the storms of life are raging, stand by me, When the world is tossing me, Like a ship upon the sea; Thou who rulest wind and water, Stand by me. (“Stand by Me,” Charles Albert Tindley) Water is a necessity of life. Too much water is a taker of life. We have all watched helplessly as our neighbors on the Georgia and Carolina coastlines have been battered and tossed about like matchsticks. I have seen the devastation caused by water; I have had the privilege of helping clean up some of the unbelievable mess in other times, in other disasters. It is gratifying, though humbling, work. And, I would add, it is not for the faint of heart. It is dirty, grimy, stinking, heartbreaking work. Even now, the cleanup is beginning on our southern coastline. People are mucking out, retrieving what they can, and throwing away what is ruined. Furniture can be replaced. Clothes can be replaced. Appliances can be replaced. I mourn for those who died. I also think about – and mourn for – the antiques, the family Bibles, the baby books, the deeds, the banking records, the heirlooms. I mourn for the history instilled in those precious things, history that is sodden, soaked, broken. Or just gone. The good news, however, is that there are, even now, people ready to help. There are mission trips being planned, national agencies arriving to assist. There is another lesson to be learned, or at least reviewed. There is, in America, no them. There is only us. “One nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.” Let’s go!

kids ‘Constitution Day’ By Kip Oswald A few weeks ago Charlie joined the Cub Scouts and he loves it! Some of the activities they have done make Charlie ask a lot of questions about our country’s history. His teacher also spent Friday, Sept. 16, teaching his class about our country’s constitution. She told the class it was a special day to celebrate the constitution. She said schools were supposed to teach about the constitution on that day because they schools get money from the government. W h e n Charlie told me about it, I thought I would find out more about this special day. Constitution Day is actually Sept. 17, and it is also called Citizenship Day, but when the day is on a weekend or a holiday, schools celebrate it on a nearest weekday. Sept. 17 is special because in 1787, the Constitution of the United States was finished and signed on this date. Sept. 17 is also called Citizenship Day to honor all the citizens of the United States and especially those who came here from other countries to become citizens. Charlie told me that we automatically became citizens because we were born in America, but people who come from another country have to apply to be a citizen and then take a test. It is called a naturalization test.
They have to answer questions about the constitution and all the rights of citizens. If they don’t pass, they can’t be a citizen. WOW! That sounds hard. During this year’s Constitution Week, more than 38,000 people became citizens in nearly 240 ceremonies across the country. The new citizens raise their hands and pledge to defend the constitution. I asked Mom and Aunt Betsy what they could tell me about the constitution. Just like me, they only knew of the beginning, called the preamble: “We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.� We have over 315 million citizens in our country, but I now wonder how many citizens our country would really have if everyone had to take that test?

Diggin’ archaeology at McClung McClung Museum Director Jeff Chapman was on hand to identify artifacts, rocks and fossils. Ben and Christine Sparks and their children brought in a collection of arrowheads and other items collected locally by Ben’s family. Chapman dated an arrowhead at 6,500 B.C. and identified a collection of glass beads as 18th-century trade beads. Family Fun Day exposes children, and their parents, to the museum and its programs, Chapman says. Next month’s Family Fun Day, 1 to 4 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 13, will be titled “The Civil War: A Soldier’s Life.”

Linda Kah, a professor of earth and planetary science, displayed 3-D pictures of Mars taken by NASA’s Curiosity rover. The research falls into the category of archaeology because scientists are looking at soils and rocks for evidence of water or a more habitable environment, she said.

Kindergarten students at Farragut Primary School took their ABC Boot Camp march through the hallways and outside celebrating 26 days of learning their alphabet. Ava Kind and Charleigh Forton sport their alphabet hats for the letters K and P.
“Hup, two, three, four, A, B, C, D!” Kindergarten students at Farragut Primary School celebrated 26 days of learning their alphabet with an ABC Boot Camp parade through the school’s hallways, along with other postmarch activities. Teacher Wendy Gilstrap said the idea came after reading the blog of a teacher who organized a similar activity. “We decided having a kindergarten boot camp would be perfect for teaching alphabet letters the first
26 days of school,” she said. The goal was to put fun into learning. Camouflage boot camp T-shirts were ordered, and the children learned a cadence to keep them marching in step. Plenty of learning activities were included, from coloring worksheets to making alphabet hats. The students had their own hat letters to color with matching symbols like K for Kermit and P for pear. Children marched and held up pictures of capital and lowercase letters. Many
dressed for the day in their camo shirts, even full uniforms. “The advantage to having a boot camp is that our kindergarten students are actively engaged and motivated to learn letters and letter sounds,” Gilstrap said. This is the second year for the program, and she says the children have shown a tremendous amount of growth since the lessons began. “I truly believe that children learn more when they are having fun, and that’s our ultimate goal,” she said.

Off Leash Training opens in Knoxville By Margie Hagen Fallon Houser’s love of dogs became a career when she began fostering and training dogs; now it’s a business with locations in Maryville, Sevierville, Chattanooga and now Knoxville. Regional director of Off Leash K9 Training, Houser and her staff will hold an open house at the new Knoxville location, 3511 Overlook Circle, on Friday, Oct. 28, from 4-9 p.m. Off Leash K9 Training, founded by Nick White, is based in Woodbridge, Virginia. Before opening the business in 2009, White trained dogs for the U.S. Secret Service, and now he and his staff use the same techniques to train dogs for personal owners. The team of trainers focuses on correcting canine behavioral problems: ■Obedience ■Aggression with people and other animals ■Chewing, jumping and pulling “All dogs are taught basic manners, and owners have total control off leash,� says Fallon Houser, “We use leadership training with the

tracking, trailing and scent detection. Plans to add diabetic alert service dog training are in the works. Houser and her network of trainers also foster rescue dogs. Houser says, “They have often suffered from neglect and abuse. We work to enable them to be adopted and become a well-adjusted part of the family. The training can save their lives.�
Houser is the founder and president of Tennessee Doberman Rescue Plus. One success story is Adele, fostered by Knoxville resident Laura Cole. Adele, a 70-lb. Doberman mix, was pulling and chasing during walks. “I spoke with Fallon about this problem and she donated training time to Adele,� says Cole. “Four hours of training and I had a completely different dog on my hands.� Adele recently found her forever home with Tonya Cinnamon Tackett. Tackett is part of the foster network and shares her philosophy. “People ask how one can put their love into a foster dog that may be adopted. One simple statement: if I don’t love them and show them that they are loved, then who will?� As for Fallon Houser, her goal is “for every dog to know what it’s like to live off leash, and for every owner to experience the pride, confidence and joy of having a dog that is reliable and consistently obedient, under any level of distraction.� Info: offleashK9training knoxville.com.

Knox comedians team on bizarre new podcast Two Knoxville comedians are teaming up to create a unique podcast. Named “Video Death Loop,� the show centers around the friends watching short video clips on loop for as long as they can mentally stand it. John Hurst of Hardin Valley and Aaron Littleton of Maryville are hardly strangers in the Knoxville comedy scene. Hurst performs regularly at Friendlytown, a collaborative and experimental comedy night hosted every Monday at the Pilot Light. Littleton is a longtime member of Knoxville’s original comedy improv troupe Einstein Simplified, which performs on Tuesday nights at Scruffy City Hall. “The podcast concept is pretty strange, but also oddly compelling,� said Hurst. “We’ve been friends a long time, so it makes sense for us to team up,� Littleton said. “Last year, we hosted a comedy show together in Knoxville where we curated a list of bizarre video games and had local comedians play them live and provide commentary. It was kind of like Mystery Science Theater 3000 but with games instead of movies and I think people really enjoyed it.� Video Death Loop doesn’t stray too far from that formula. Each week, one member of the duo surprises the other with a new video clip like a commercial or theme song that they both must watch on repeat.
While a podcast listener doesn’t actually see the video, the faint sound of its looping audio can be heard behind the hosts’ running commentary. “It’s all unscripted,� said Littleton. “What you’re hearing is actually us breaking down as we watch these videos over and over.� “First there’s the joy of seeing a new thing,� Hurst continued, “Then the new thing becomes old and then the old thing becomes ‘Oh God, what is happening?’� Hurst and Littleton say that early reaction has been overwhelmingly positive. “We were sharing the very first episodes around to friends and had multiple reports of people being unable to continue listening at work because they were laughing so hard,� Littleton said. “That’s what you want to hear.� “Our favorite episodes are the ones where we can create an improvised story based on what we’re seeing. In the thick of the repetition, it gets pretty weird. We’ve seen the Golden Girls become a crack World War II era Special Forces squad and Mentos breath mints bestow the power of an ancient magical spirit,� said Hurst. Video Death Loop is available on iTunes and most major podcast services as well as on www. videodeathloop.com

Crib ’n Carriage owners cruise toward retirement
the Rotary guy
By Wendy Smith After nearly four decades of selling infant furniture and bedding in West Knoxville, Crib ’n Carriage owners Bob and Sarah Milford are ready to take their first cruise. They say the best part of running the store has been the wonderful people they’ve met. But the responsibility of owning a business has left them “landlocked for years,” Sarah says, so the couple are making big plans. The store will close for good on Oct. 30. Inventory is discounted 20 percent to 75 percent through the month. The Milfords, Oak Ridge natives, moved to Nashville in the early 1970s. Bob sold infant furniture for a department store, so when the couple decided to relocate to Knoxville, he had the experience and contacts to easily open his own store. The original location was in Western Plaza Shopping Center. It opened in 1977, one month after their son Andy was born. He spent much of his first year in the store, sleeping in a porta-crib in a back room or snuggled up with Sarah in an infant carrier. Keeping Andy at the store became more challenging as he grew into a toddler. After being told numerous

times by his parents not to touch the furniture, he once scolded a customer who was examining a high chair. In 1984, the Milfords built the store at its current location, 7933 Ray Mears Blvd. They’ve been in the baby furniture business long enough that they now stock the nurseries of babies whose parents’ nurseries were furnished by Crib ’n Carriage. Sarah considers this a true compliment. The store has survived competition from big-box stores as well as the inter-
net. The past eight years have been tough for specialty stores, Bob says. But their customers typically want to see, and touch, furniture before they buy. Photos don’t represent wood finishes well, and some items, like glider rockers, need to be tested for a good fit, Sarah says. Customers travel from as far as Kentucky and Georgia to shop in person. The Milfords tested the waters of retirement by reducing store hours in 2014. The store was open Monday
through Saturday before the change to Friday through Sunday. The adjustment reduced work hours for the Milfords and provided two weekend days for couples to shop together. Crib ’n Carriage is open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, and 1-5 p.m. on Sunday. It’s been a privilege to help people during such a blessed time in their lives, Sarah says. “We’ve gotten beautiful thank-you notes. It’s really gratifying.”
The Rotary Club of Knoxville is really putting the “International” into Rotary International this coming spring. A few members of the club will be going to Zimbabwe March 16-25, and in May another team will be off to visit the club’s “Twin Club” in Mateszalka, Hungary (May 9-16). RCK members will help dedicate the completion of a dam in Kesari, Zimbabwe, and celebrate with the villagers. They will also go to another village where Phil Mitchell (team leader) arranged a dedicated grant through the club’s foundation to procure food for village children who were starving due to a severe drought this past year. “We will visit the children and villagers. Plus, we’ll spend time with our wonderful Rotary partners in Bulawayo and stay at the Nesbitt Castle Hotel, which is truly unique,” Phil says. The trip to Hungary will be a return trip for some RCK Rotarians since the club has been partners for 20-plus years with the Mateszalka Rotary Club. Through
the years the club has secured many Rotary grants for work in Hungary that involves things like bicycles and helmets, sports equipment, the development of Interact clubs, funding the construction of a skateboard park and things we take for granted – like washing machines. Much of the support has gone to the Mateszalka Children’s Home, an orphanage. ■

News from Rather & Kittrell
In football or investing: Do not give up at halftime By Rus Hunt As I write this article, the Tennessee Volunteer football team has won their first five games of the 2016 season. They have stumbled into huge half-time deficits, in most of those games, which they had to overcome. In the matchup with the Georgia Bulldogs they trailed 31 to 28 with four seconds remaining, and then completed an unlikely, improbable, but thrilling 43-yard “Hail Mary” pass to win the contest. During each battle, I am sure that many of us watching either in person or on television concluded that all was lost sometime before the clock ran out and left the stadium or turned off the television. If so, we missed several brilliant displays of how preparation, practice and perseverance resulted in victory. As sports fans, we generally only see the game-day performance of our teams. We are mostly oblivious to the massive amount of time, energy and effort that precedes the game. Also, we are not involved in the huge number of decisions that are made before and during each play. Not only do coaches and players have to make and execute multiple decisions, but in order to succeed they must have considered those actions prior to the game and practiced them. In an emotional and physical competition they must rely on their preparation and experience to think and perform at the highest levels while under extreme stress. In listening to the comments of the coaches and players after the amazing victory over Georgia, I was impressed by how prepared the team was for the situation they faced in the last 10 seconds. They had practiced for a last second kickoff return throughout the pre-season. They had never used this return formation before but were able to execute the play to near perfection and advance the ball over mid-field with four seconds left on the clock. The final heave was also practiced over and over again as a last gasp to score. The players executed to perfection and scored the winning touchdown as the clock expired. It was an improbable play, but not lucky.

Seth Hunt and Rus Hunt arrive early for a special game.
Rus Hunt has been a Volunteer fan since age 9.
My first Tennessee experience was the 1966 match up with South Carolina that I attended with my Dad and Uncle Bill. I’ve been witness to the highs and the lows of Tennessee sports for the many years that have followed that beautiful Saturday at Neyland. I should have enough experience to never count a game as won or lost before time runs out. The Vols were behind at halftime and I, as well as Uncle Bill, was ready to give up. My Dad said not to worry that there was still a half to be played. The final score was Vols 29 and Gamecocks 17. I was a happy 9-year-old and concluded my Dad knew more than my uncle about football. Do not give up at halftime; do not give up even with only four seconds left. Many people tend to react negatively and want to give up on their investment results just like many of us UT fans after less than stellar first half performances. What are my financial results for this quarter? Why do I own this fund that has shown negative results for the past
six months? If the markets keep going up I have it made, or vice versa, I am going to lose everything if the market keeps dropping. As a football fan, we may leave a game early and miss an exciting finish. However, making a rash decision with our investments due to a poor quarter can have a lasting impact on long-term results. The S&P 500 had an average annual return of 9.82 percent from 1991 through 2015. An investment of $10,000 at the beginning of that period would have grown to $103,951. If you had been out of the market for the one best day of that period you would have lost $10,788. Missing the 10 best days would have cost $63,630. The most successful investors have a very long-term focus to give them the best chance at achieving their goals. The most successful football teams have that same long-term focus beyond one game or one season. Take the time and energy to put together a long-term investment plan. Use an independent financial advi-
sor who has the experience to help you prepare the plan, put it into practice, persevere through the upheavals of the market and maintain focus on the longterm goal. There is no magic formula or secret sauce in achieving investing success. Have a plan and trust the plan.

N EWS FROM PARKWEST, WEST KNOXVILLE ’ S H EALTHCARE LEADER • T REATED WELL .COM • 374-PARK
Hospital VP marks 40th anniversary at Parkwest LLessons essons learned on the family farm contributed to her success Emlyn “Em” Cobble has juggled many hats throughout her career, but all of them have been worn at one place, Parkwest Medical Center, where she will celebrate 40 years of service this month. Cobble is Vice President and Chief Support Officer for Parkwest, where she began her career in 1976 as a medical technologist. She graduated from Lincoln Memorial University with a degree in chemistry, completed an internship at St. Mary’s as a medical technologist, and soon began looking for work in Knoxville. “I knew that I wanted to work in a bigger laboratory and hospital than my home town in Greene County could offer, so I applied for jobs in Knoxville,” Cobble explained. Only a short drive from home, Knoxville allowed her to remain close to family. However, she admits that she was hesitant to accept a position at Parkwest, as it was a little known, “rural” hospital at the time. Nevertheless, eager to land her first job, she accepted a position working the evening shift in the lab. “Parkwest may not have been my first choice, but it was certainly the best,” she said. The hospital offered Cobble a solid start and opportunities to grow throughout her career. In her early days at Parkwest, she relied not only on her skills as a chemist, but also on those gained on the 200 acre farm where she was raised. Working alongside her father, as his chief assistant, Cobble learned tenacity, resourcefulness, and ingenuity. These skills proved invaluable in her many roles at Parkwest. “I grew up on a farm, and if you ran out of something you did without until you went into town. If something was broken, you fi xed

it, and hopefully, you were smart enough to have saved some spare parts,” Cobble said. Working in the lab played to Cobble’s analytical skills and resourceful nature. “The lab equipment at the time was unpredictable, so you better not be afraid to tinker with it a bit,” she said. While others were sometimes intimidated, “I was always willing to grab the tools and go after the problem.” That grit and determination soon led Cobble from lab tech to
Chief Technologist of the lab. By 1990, Cobble advanced again and was named Director of Clinical Services. She embarked on what would be her most rewarding venture and her toughest days. “The 1990’s were a stellar time in Parkwest’s history,” Cobble said. These years marked change and reorganization across the hospital as it reached unprecedented growth. Cobble’s next large scale achievement was as the facility liaison of a massive renovation, expansion and moderniza-
Parkwest welcomes Heatherly as chief administrative officer Heatherly assumed his new role as president and chief administrative officer at Parkwest on August 22, landing what he believes to be his dream job. “Parkwest is in my blood and I have deep roots there,” Heatherly, who worked as a surgical orderly at the hospital during his high school years, said in a statement. “I already feel a deep sense of dedication to the medical center, and serving as the administrative leader at Parkwest will be the high point of my career.” Heatherly served most recently as CEO of Tennova Healthcare. He joined Community Health Systems, parent company of Tennova, in 2009 as vice president of operations for hospitals in Tennessee and Pennsylvania. He later served as president of the organization’s home care division, which
Neil Heatherly, CAO included 80 affiliated home health agencies. “I am pleased that the search for the next CAO of Parkwest Medical Center has yielded a qualified and experienced health care execu-
tive and a valued member of our community,” Jim VanderSteeg, president and CEO of Covenant Health, said. “Throughout his career Neil Heatherly has demonstrated a commitment to excellence, and he is known for building positive relationships and effective teams.” A fellow in the American College of Healthcare Executives, Heatherly has been board chairman of Leadership Healthcare of the Nashville Healthcare Council and is an alumnus of Leadership Knoxville. A Farragut High School graduate, he holds a bachelor’s degree from the University of Tennessee and a master’s in business administration from Vanderbilt University. Heatherly has two daughters, Morgan and Caroline, who are students at UT-Knoxville, and he and his wife, Katie, have a young daughter named Evelyn.
tion project in 2002, leading to the opening of the Riverstone Tower in 2005. A white hard hat perched on her bookcase serves as a reminder of the building projects in which she has participated. With the improvements, Parkwest gained 326,000 square feet of new construction, bringing about huge change to the organization, according to Cobble. “We evaluated our processes, patient care models, modified and enhanced every department, which created an all private room hospital,” she explained. After the construction was completed, Parkwest had established its position as the largest and most comprehensive medical center in West Knoxville. “This was the most rewarding project of my career, primarily because it made such a difference for our patients” she said. Cobble prides herself on the customer service offered at Parkwest. A winner of multiple Tennessee Quality Awards, Parkwest is ranked consistently among top hospitals for customer service by PRC, a national research firm focusing on patient satisfaction. While Cobble experienced the pinnacle of her career after the Riverstone Tower project, she encountered one of her most difficult challenges a few years later. On April 19, 2010, a lone gunman opened fire at a patient discharge area of the hospital, fatally wounding a female staff member and injuring two others. “That moment proved it could happen anywhere. That was tough,” Cobble said. Recanting through tear-fi lled eyes, she described the resiliency of the Parkwest staff. They forged on supported by grief counselors and each other. Although it was a dark time, “I
think we all felt extremely supported as we heard from folks across the country, other healthcare providers who said, ‘we’ve been where you are, we understand.’ ” That comradery contributed to Cobble’s love of Parkwest during the last 40 years, in which she has experienced the unique opportunity to serve under two Chief Administrative Officers from the same family. Serving now with current hospital CAO, Neil Heatherly, Cobble also worked with Neil’s father, Wayne Heatherly, who was the first administrator of Parkwest and holds the longest tenure of any CAO in the hospital’s history. “Em Cobble is a consummate professional and key member of our team. I look forward to serving with her as we continue our commitment to excellence at Parkwest Medical Center,” said Neil Heatherly. When Cobble isn’t serving at Parkwest, she volunteers for community programs such as Habitat for Humanity. Continuing her love of building and fi xing things, Habitat is a good match for her skills. “I enjoyed helping with Habitat’s Women’s Build this year,” Cobble said. In addition to supporting Habitat efforts, she works to keep the environment green. As she encouraged staff to pursue recycling efforts, Parkwest was named the first green hospital in Knoxville. Among other interests, Cobble sings in her church choir. However, she confesses that she may break into song at work too. “I have this philosophy that there is a song for everything,” Cobble said with a smile. Whether she is singing, working or volunteering, Em Cobble seems to wear all of her hats well.

I was born in Knoxville and raised in Seymour.

I completed neurosurgery residency in Lexington, Ky., at the University of Kentucky. I’ve always had a keen interest in the sciences. I found neuroscience intriguing and challenging. Once I found my way into the operating room, I knew I had found my calling. Combining my love of neuroscience with my love of the operating room, neurosurgery was a natural extension.

It was only a short fall – two steps to be precise. But when Mike Crumley slipped and fell on the concrete floor of his garage he felt as if he’d been body slammed by Hulk Hogan. “Looking back, that’s exactly what it was like – like some World Championship Wrestling experience,” the 66-year-old Knoxville man said with a laugh. Laughing comes easy now that his back problems are behind him, thanks to the Transforaminal Lumbar Intrabody Fusion (TLIF) of the L4-5 vertebrae he received from Fort Sanders neurosurgeon Dr. Joel Norman last March. “I couldn’t have received any better treatment than what I got from Dr. Norman” said Crumley. “And it wasn’t just Dr. Norman – it was his entire staff. Everything was just like clockwork.” TLIF surgery is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that fuses the anterior (front) and posterior (back) columns of the spine for patients with disabling back and leg pain. In Crumley’s surgery, Dr. Norman made three small incisions, and using state-ofthe-art imaging and navigational systems, placed screws into Crumley’s L4 and L5 vertebral bodies. He then placed a “cage” or “spacer” into the disc space containing some of Crumley’s own bone to encourage the growth of a solid strut of bone between the two vertebral bodies. Once the cage was in place, Dr. Norman placed a rod between the screws on each side of the spine to lock everything into place. It wasn’t Crumley’s first time in the operating room. Norman’s former partner, the now retired Dr. William Reid, had performed laminectomies on his L3 and L4 vertebrae in 2012. That surgery, however, required the traditional, “open” approach and a much longer recovery period. So when Crumley fell last Christmas, he feared the worst. “I just got out of the car, walked up the

resolution of his back and leg pain,” said Dr. Norman. “He stated that his life had been given back to him. Obviously, this is a great outcome and exactly the type of recovery we want to achieve and are often able to. Many people feel generally fatigued and a little run-down for four to six weeks after surgery, so his early recovery was somewhat ahead of the game.” “Everything went just like Dr. Norman said it would,” said Crumley. “The staff at the hospital the whole time that I was there were very attentive. They constantly checked on me, and the meals were good. I couldn’t have asked for better treatment.” Dr. Norman said Crumley recently came into his office for follow-up X-rays and continues to be pain free. “He’s essentially returned to his normal activity with no restrictions at this point and continues to do remarkably well. As long as he is happy, I am happy.” For more information about minimally invasive spine surgery at Fort Sanders Regional, call 865-673-FORT or visit www.fsregional.com.

with sciatica or nerve pain, typically running down the back of their legs. What patients might be candidates for the surgery? The ideal candidate for minimally invasive spinal fusion is someone suffering from back and leg pain due to a spondylolisthesis, or slippage, of the lumbar vertebrae. This is a condition sometimes missed on an initial workup as it often requires specialized X-rays with the patients bending forward or backward to clearly visualize. Can you explain how it works? What are the benefits of minimally invasive spine surgery? Minimally invasive spine surgery uses specialized technology within the operating room to allow for smaller incisions and more precise placement of instrumentation. We are able to actually obtain a CT scan of the patient while they are asleep on the operating room table and customize our surgical approach to the individual patient, in real-time. This allows for much smaller incisions and less damage to the tissues surrounding the spine. Ultimately, this approach gets people back on their feet sooner than is generally necessary for a more traditional, open approach to the spine. What makes the Center for Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery at Fort Sanders Regional Medical the best choice for this surgery? Fort Sanders Regional has demonstrated a true commitment to excellence in spine surgery and especially minimally invasive neurosurgery. The hospital has been instrumental in purchasing state-of-the-art intraoperative image guidance that allows minimally invasive surgery to be possible. We have a dedicated team of nurses and technicians in the operating room who are experienced and specially trained to assist in these minimally invasive procedures. Postoperatively, our nurses are also hand-picked and specially trained in the management of our patients who have undergone minimally invasive spinal procedures, and we have a dedicated floor of the hospital reserved for neuroscience and especially spine patients.

Challenge group, healthy eating make difference for Siler
By Betsy Pickle To look at petite, fresh-faced Cheri Kay Siler, you’d never think she is the mother of six and grandmother of one. Or that she ever struggled with her weight. Siler, now a math teacher at Central High School, started dancing at age 4. She gave it up after making the volleyball team at West High School, where she also was a cheerleader. She studied business at the University of Tennessee, and through a noncredit program she earned a black belt in Shotokan karate. “And then I got married and had children – lots of children,” she says. There’s an eight-year difference between the oldest and the youngest. Siler says she “mommed” a lot, including chauffeuring her kids to their athletic events and cheering them on. She also loves to read and enjoys watching television, both sedentary activities. “From time to time I’d get in a walking habit, but it never lasted.” To page 2

Difference for Siler
Despite an aggressive cancer diagnosis in the spring of 2016, Darla Oringderff is now cancer-free. Her indomitable spirit undoubtedly helped.
Now that her hair is starting to grow back, Oringderff jokingly compares herself to a pair of emus. Niece Sarah Hohman provides a playful photo bomb. Photos submitted
Darla Oringderff – adventurous in spirit, unwavering in strength By Carol Z. Shane When Maryville resident Darla Oringderff decided to take up Brazilian jiu-jitsu five years ago, she had no idea she’d walk away with a bronze medal in the state championship after only one year of practice. And two years ago, she walked into SalsaKnox Dance Company because she wanted to learn salsa dancing. “I knew nothing. Now my friends and I party down at Cocoa Moon.” It’s that kind of adventurous, unflagging spirit that got her through the biggest challenge of her life: a diagnosis last April of HER2 positive breast cancer. “Ten years ago, this type of cancer was a death sentence,” says Oringderff. “There was no cure for it. There was no hope.” The mother of two faced down a disease that registers “nine out of nine on an aggressive scale” and, after half a year of treatment, she’s now cancerfree. Though she’ll continue with followup treatments, the worst is over. And,
she says, “if it doesn’t recur in the first five years, it doesn’t tend to come back.” When Oringderff went in for her yearly mammogram in 2014, she was unaware that the breast density notification law, requiring examiners to notify their patients of dense breast tissue, had just been passed in Tennessee. Such density can make early cancer diagnosis difficult with a mammogram only. Oringderff did not understand the implications; after being told that her mammogram looked “fine,” she wasn’t advised to have an ultrasound and did not seek one out. Having few risk factors and no family history of breast cancer, she skipped her 2015 mammogram. When she noticed a lump in the spring of 2016, her doctor said that it was probably just a fibroid. “They did a biopsy, and they were shocked. They were not expecting it to be cancer.” On April 11, she received the news that she had a stage three, HER2 positive, in situ, invasive intra-ductal carcinoma.
Oringderff and her lively, creative daughter Kelty had planned to spend the spring on a college tour. The cancer diagnosis sharply stopped those plans. “From the moment I got the diagnosis, I thought, ‘double mastectomy;’ I thought all the worst things,” Oringderff says. She jumped into treatment -- six sessions of chemotherapy, one every three weeks. It was rough. Oringderff admits, “There are low points when you feel like you want to die. But it gets better.” Four weeks after her final chemotherapy session, she had a partial mastectomy. “That’s the fancy term for a lumpectomy,” she says. She and her doctors were amazed to find, via ultrasound, that “my tumor had shrunk completely. All that was left was the marker that the physicians had inserted to show the cancer’s location.” In the end, she had had to have hardly anything removed. To page 3
She tried Weight Watchers at Work and lost about 20 pounds, but she felt she was depriving herself. Then she ran for state Senate in 2014 (eventually losing to Richard Briggs), “and ate way too much fast food, drank a few too many cocktails, stayed out super late with campaign events and meeting people. “At the end of my campaign, I just felt terrible. I was tired all the time. I had no energy whatsoever. I didn’t sleep well. I was hungry all the time but never really satisfied. And I was having a lot of migraines, like, two and three times a week.” A friend invited her to join a “challenge group.” These small groups – focused on nutrition, fitness and a support system – usually “meet” on Facebook, with coaches and fellow members of the group offering advice and encouragement. “The Half-Assed Holiday Challenge – it was the official title of the first challenge group I did,” she says. “Our goal was to make three small lifestyle changes that would help us through the holiday season … not pack on the pounds like the American public tends to do.” Siler chose to always take the stairs at work, do 50 jumping jacks a day and drink half her body weight in ounces of water every day. After a month, the coach asked for three additional changes. Siler decided to park her car as far from the door at work as she could; add a serving of vegetables at lunch and dinner; and drink eight ounces of water before every meal. Siler could tell she felt better, so when another challenge started in January, she joined. Although challenge groups are offered by various companies and
From page 1
fitness entities, her coach was with Team BeachBody, which also offers products such as Shakeology, a mealreplacement shake, and exercise DVDs. Siler began drinking the shake for breakfast every morning and chose the PiYo workout routine that merges Pilates and yoga. “It’s very low impact,” she says. “It requires no equipment; it’s just bodyweight exercises. “I fell in love with it. … I started getting up at 5 or 5:30 in the morning to exercise before work. I was able to stop taking migraine medication almost completely. … I lost probably 20, 22 pounds. I’m at my goal weight, and I’ve stayed there for over a year now.” Siler, 45, has made other changes. “I cut out grains. I cut out added sugar. I mostly cut out dairy, but I still have cream in my coffee. Pretty much anything packaged doesn’t go in me.” She’ll break the rules for special occasions. But she rarely dines out, and she takes her lunch to work every day. She spends time every Sunday planning meals, grocery shopping and preparing food. “It has become for me a lifestyle, a way that I want to live because of how good I feel,” she says. “And also a way that I want my kids to see me live – that you can be healthy without feeling deprived.” Siler has also become a challenge group coach. “I’ve learned more about healthy ways to eat and healthier things to eat. I’ve tried to share that with other people, and I’ve brought along some friends who’ve started a healthy journey, and that helps keep me motivated, too.”

Darla Oringderff From page 2
Oringderff calls her multi-talented daughter Kelty “my rock through this whole thing.”
Oringderff credits “the support of my friends and family” with bringing her through her ordeal. She’s a passionate advocate for dense-breast ultrasounds. “Insurance should pay for both mammogram and ultrasound” in dense-breast cases, she believes. And she says that there’s no question that “anyone who is informed that she has dense breast tissue should have an ultrasound.” What’s next? More salsa dancing, for sure, but also a party. Oringderff plans to enhance her temporarily blank canvas of scalp with a hand-painted henna crown. And the Oringderff “crew” will be there to help.
Oringderff loves to laugh. When she spotted this display in a department store, she couldn’t resist posing.

Physical therapy: an alternative for pain relief Chronic pain affects people all around the world, greatly impacting sufferers’ quality of life. According to the American Academy of Pain Medicine, recent reports have indicated more than 1.5 billion people worldwide experience chronic pain. Common complaints include lower back pain, headache, neck pain, or neurogenic pain, which is pain resulting from damage to peripheral nerves. Pain can impact people in many ways, as some people can tolerate discomfort better than others. Chronic pain may result in missed time at work, depression, anger and an inability to live a full life. According to a recent Institute of Medicine Report: Relieving Pain in America: A Blueprint for Transforming Prevention, Care, Education, and Research, pain is a significant public health problem that costs society at least $560 to $635 billion annually. To cope with pain, many people rely on over-the-counter and prescription medications. This reliance on drugs has helped to fuel pain medication addictions that can lead to other drug abuse. The National Institute on Drug Abuse says research now suggests that abuse of opioid pain medications may actually open the door to heroin use. Some individuals report switching to heroin because it is cheaper and easier to obtain than prescription opioids. A safer and sometimes more effective method of pain relief than opioids, physical therapy can help a person get back on track and feel much better in the process. The American Physical Therapy Association says while surgery and prescription drugs can be the best course of treatment for certain diagnoses, there is increasing evidence that conservative treatments like physical therapy can be equally effective and cheaper treatment plans for many con-
dition ns Physical Physical therapy can be as effeceffec ditions. tive as surgery for meniscal tears and knee osteoarthritis, rotator cuff tears and spinal stenosis, among other conditions. When a patient is prescribed physical therapy, a therapist will develop a treatment plan that addresses the specific needs of the patient. This is essentially a collaboration between patient and physical therapist. Therapists are experts in improving mobility and motion and have studied extensively to that end. Because weakness or stiffness may be contributing to pain, therapists try to address the source of the pain and relieve the pain itself. Physical therapy may include exercises that stretch the body and improve flexibility. Strengthening exercises will help work on core muscles as well as other parts of the body to prevent injury down the road. Therapy may target specific areas of pain. Because of their expertise, therapists may be able to assess posture, gait and other attributes that may be contributing to injury and make suggestions to reduce recurrence. In addition to the therapies mentioned, a combination of massage and other work may be included in a physical therapy plan. This may include TENS and ultrasound. According to WebMD, Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation, or TENS, uses a device to send a low-voltage electric current to the skin over the area where you have pain. Ultrasound sends sound waves to the places you have pain. Both of these options may help to block pain messages to the brain and offer relief. Chronic pain can be debilitating. However, physical therapy is often an effective way to combat chronic pain and help individuals find relief and return to living full lives.

Options when paying for long-term care
private policies referred to as long-term care insurance. These policies may cover services such as care at home, adult day care, assisted living facilities, and nursing homes. However, plans vary widely. In addition, the cost for care and eligibility requirements may change as a person ages,
so it’s best to purchase this insurance while young and relatively healthy. ■ Government assistance: Government health programs may pay for a portion of certain care but not all of the services offered by long-term care facilities. For example, the Canadian Life and
Health Insurance Association say says government health care programs may cover only a small percentage of the costs for nursing homes or other specialized residential care facilities, or perhaps none at all depending on the circumstances. In the United States, Medicare is the Federal health insurance program for people age 65 and older and for some people younger than 65 who are disabled. Medicare generally does not pay for long-term help with daily activities. Medicare pays for very limited skilled nursing home care after a hospital stay, but not for many assisted living facilities. Medicaid is another option that pays for health services and long-term care for low-income people of any age. First, applicants must determine their eligibility for Medicaid. Medicaid is typically only available after most personal assets have been depleted. Even with Medicaid, a resident of a long-term care facility may need to pay a portion of the care out of pocket. What’s more, as part of the application for Medicaid, a look back at assets is required to deter gifting assets in order to qualify. Paying for long-term care requires planning well in advance of when such services may be needed.

Aging g has its sid side ide effects, as it’s inevitable that individuals’ bodies and minds will change as they approach their golden years. Illnesses, disabilities and other conditions may speed up the changes in certain individuals. While many seniors continue to live independently well into their golden years, some require long-term care. The decision to move an elderly relative into a long-term care facility can be difficult. In addition to the emotional effects of such a decision, families must deal with the financial repercussions. Long-term care services can be costly, and many general healthcare insurance plans do not cover long-term care. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services offers that an assisted living facility may cost roughly $3,300 per month for a one-bedroom unit, while a nursing home may cost between $6,200 and $6,900. Seniors or families who have enough income and savings may be able to pay for long-term care services without assistance. But those who cannot afford to do so may need to utilize different programs or resources to pay for long-term care. ■ Long-term care insurance: According to WebMD, commercial insurers offer

Why dental hygiene is essential for overall health The importance of maintaining clean teeth and healthy gums goes beyond having fresh breath and a white smile. Many people are surprised to discover that oral hygiene plays an integral role in overall health. Research indicates that oral health mirrors the condition of the body as a whole. Also, regular dental visits can alert dentists about overall health and pinpoint if a person is at a risk for chronic disease. An oral health check-up also may be the first indication of a potential health issue not yet evident to a general medical doctor. â&#x2013;
Heart disease
According to the Academy of General Dentistry, there is a distinct relationship between periodontal disease and conditions such as heart disease and stroke. Joint teams at the University of Bristol in the United Kingdom and the Royal College of Surgeons in Dublin, Ireland, found that people with bleeding gums from poor
My
dental hygiene could have an increased risk of heart disease. Bacteria from the mouth is able to enter the bloodstream when bleeding gums are present. That bacteria can stick to platelets and subsequently form blood clots. This interrupts the flow of blood to the heart and may trigger a heart attack. Brushing and flossing twice daily and rinsing with mouthwash can remove bacteria and keep gums healthy. â&#x2013;
Facial pain
The Office of the Surgeon General says infections of the gums that support the teeth can lead to facial and oral pain. Gingivitis, which is an early stage of gum disease, as well as advanced gum disease affect more than 75 percent of the American population. Dental decay can lead to its own share of pain. Maintaining a healthy mouth can fend off decay and infections, thereby preventing pain.
â&#x2013;
Pancreatic cancer
In 2007, the Harvard School of Public Health reported a link between gum disease and pancreatic cancer. In the ongoing study, 51,000 men were followed and data was collected beginning in 1986. The Harvard researchers found that men with a history of gum disease had a 64 percent increased risk of pancreatic cancer compared with men who had never had gum disease. The greatest risk for pancreatic cancer among this group was in men with recent tooth loss. However, the study was unable to find links between other types of oral health problems, such as tooth decay, and pancreatic cancer. â&#x2013;
Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease
Various health ailments, including poor oral health, have been linked to a greater risk of developing Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease. In 2010, after reviewing 20 yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; worth of data, researchers from
New York University concluded that there is a link between gum inflammation and Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease. Follow-up studies from researchers at the University of Central Lancashire in the United Kingdom compared brain samples from 10 living patients with Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to samples from 10 people who did not have the disease. Data indicated that a bacterium Porphyromonas gingivalis was present in the Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brain samples but not in the samples from the brains of people who did not have Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. P. gingivalis is usually associated with chronic gum disease. As a result of the study, experts think that the bacteria can move via nerves in the roots of teeth that connect directly with the brain or through bleeding gums. These health conditions are just a sampling of the relationship between oral health and overall health. Additional connections also have been made and continue to be studied.

KOC welcomes two new docs By Wendy Smith Knoxville Orthopaedic Clinic recently added two new surgeons who will treat patients at all three KOC locations. Curtis Gaylord is a Knoxville native and third-generation doctor. His father, Mark Gaylord, is a neonatologist at UT Medical Center, and his mother, Nan Gaylord, is director of the Vine Middle Magnet School health clinic. Curtis Gaylord says he intended to “blaze a new trail” with a career in higher education. But after spending a year as a recruiter for his alma mater, Wofford College, he opted to follow family precedent. After attending UT College of Medicine, he completed his residency in Birmingham. That’s when he realized he enjoyed working with kids. “They heal well, and they don’t complain as much as adults,” he says. He completed a fellowship at The Hospital for Sick Kids in Toronto, where he was the “token Southern boy.” Specializing in pediatric orthopaedics allows him to treat patients from head to toe, and he enjoys the variety − and the challenge.
East Tennessee Children’s Hospital is his primary operating location. The new operating rooms in the Scripps Networks Tower, which opens in November, are phenomenal, he says. Gaylord joins two other pediatric orthopaedic surgeons, Cameron Sears and Jay Crawford, at KOC. His wife, Lauren, is a pediatric nurse practitioner, and they have a 20-month-old son. Foot and ankle specialist Chad Ferguson, a Minnesota native, chose Knoxville as his family’s new home because it’s the right size and is close-knit community. Plus, it’s in the South. “It’s a little cold up there,” he says of his home state. He and his wife, Laura, and their two young children have already made themselves at home on the East Tennessee waterways. After attending medical school at the University of Minnesota, Ferguson completed his residency at Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte, N.C., and his fellowship at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. Ferguson is one the only orthopaedic surgeons in the region who performs to-

tal ankle replacement. The procedure was developed in Scandinavia 15 years ago, and outcomes have been very good, he says. The surgery allows patients to get back to the activities they enjoy, except running for exercise, and is appropriate for patients suffering from ankle arthritis due to chronic injuries or an accident. He will operate at Covenant Health and Tennova facilities as well as the KOC surgery center at the West office. KOC uses a team approach to treating
patients that utilizes the expertise of all of the physicians, he says. “It’s a fantastic place to work. It’s really cohesive, and every patient gets good care.” The Dowell Springs KOC office is at 1422 Old Weisgarber Road. The West office is at 260 Fort Sanders West Blvd., Building 6. The North office is in the North Knoxville Medical Center Physician’s Plaza, 7557 Dannaher Lane, Suite G-10, Powell. For more information: 558-4400

Growing stronger with Shane Vandergriff By Seth Norris How about you go be something? Why don’t you go do something awesome instead of watching people be awesome? These are the questions Corryton resident Shane Vandergriff lives by. Vandergriff, a physical education teacher at Horace Maynard Middle School in Union County, and a trainer on the side, has his sights set on owning his own gym. Vandergriff has been intrigued about “pushing his body’s limits” since he was a toddler. At age 5, he was showing off his ability to do 20 push-ups to extended family. At age 7, he was learning to control his body on gymnastics bars and rings that his parents put in the yard. Many people refer to such activity as fitness. Simply put, being physically fit and healthy. To Vandergriff, it’s more than just “fitness.” “I am into pursuing the strongest, best, most vibrant version of myself,” said Vandergriff, “To accept a weaker version of ourselves is to deny the world our potential greatness.” When Vandergriff isn’t teaching, he is training. He started out with a small group of athletes, and now it’s transitioned into working with sports like basketball and softball at Union County High School. He even does boot camp classes for women. He wants to help people realize their passion, purpose, and vision. “Having my own gym allows me to create a community,” said Vandergriff, “And empower others and myself through the build-

Simple ways to cut back on sodium

Norris ing of relationships.” For the regular “I’ll do it tomorrow” person, it can be hard to find the time to work out and start making a stronger you. Vandergriff says it’s about scheduling. If you have time to watch a series on Netflix, you have time get a workout in. Some people also struggle with motivation to get in the gym regularly, but that’s not what it’s about for Vandergriff. “Motivation is temporary, but commitment is what keeps people going,” said Vandergriff. “Make a plan, find a way to hold yourself accountable, and a way to reward yourself in a positive way.” The ultimate reward for Vandergriff would be to leave a legacy. The ultimate goal is to have his own gym with multiple facets. Whether it’s having a life coach, going crazy work-
ing out, or even reading a book in the gym to help better yourself, he has a lot he wants to achieve in his gym. Right now, in addition to teaching and training athletes, he is working out of a gym in his house. Google and many other big companies got their start out of garages with their sights set high. Vandergriff is no different as he aims toward finishing his own website, working on writing and selling training programs, establishing a blog, and producing video and podcasts for the future of what he calls “StrongerU Gym.” “Ultimately, I want to continue to grow StrongerU Gym and its members into a community where people come together to become the strongest version of themselves.” Info: shanevandergriff@ gmail.com
Because Everything
Salt is widely relied on to give foods some added flavor. Many people may feel that unsalted foods are not as tasty as their salty counterparts, but it’s important that people of all ages understand the threat that excessive sodium consumption poses. According to the Harvard School of Public Health, kidney problems may result from excessive sodium consumption. In addition, the American Heart Association notes that excess sodium and salt in the body puts a person at risk for a host of ailments, including stroke, heart failure, stomach cancer, and osteoporosis. Cutting back on sodium should be a goal for anyone who hasn’t already done so. But the HSPH notes that people over age 50, people who have high or slightly elevated blood pressure, diabetics, and African Americans are at high risk of developing the health problems related to excessive sodium consumption. Because sodium is so prevalent, some people may think that cutting back on its consumption must be nearly impossible. However, there are some simple ways to cut back on sodium. ■ Ask for low-sodium recommendations when dining out. The AHA notes that the average person consumes 25 percent of his or her overall sodium at restaurants. Some places now require restaurants to list total sodium content alongside offerings on their menus, and diners living in such areas should choose only those meals that are low in sodium. Diners who live in areas where sodium levels are not listed on the menu can ask for low-sodium recommendations or if existing menu items can be prepared without sodium or with lower amounts of sodium. ■ Read labels. According to the AHA,
75 percent of the sodium in the average American diet comes from salt added to processed foods. Diners who have resolved to push away the salt shaker at the dinner table might still be exceeding their daily recommended sodium limits if they are eating prepackaged foods with high sodium levels. Food manufacturers use salt to give prepackaged foods longer shelf lives, so concerned diners should read labels before taking items home from the grocery store. The AHA recommends that adults consume no more than 1,500 milligrams of sodium per day, and shoppers should keep that in mind when reading labels and planning meals. ■ Opt for low-sodium condiments. Salt is not the only condiment on restaurant or kitchen tables that can add flavor to a meal, but it’s one of the few that can have a devastating effect on long-term health. Forgo table salt when sitting down at the dinner table and opt for low-sodium condiments instead. Balsamic vinegar, horseradish and the juice of a lemon each pack a flavorful, low-sodium punch. ■ Read vegetable packages as well. Shoppers who do not buy fresh vegetables from the produce aisle or farmer’s market should read the packaging on canned or frozen vegetables to ensure their veggies are not being doused in salt. Some manufacturers may use salt to preserve canned and frozen veggies. Diners who do not have access to fresh vegetables or the time to buy fresh veggies each week should compare packaging on canned and frozen vegetables and choose the product with the lowest amount of sodium. Sodium can make meals more flavorful, but cutting back on sodium intake can improve long-term health.

News from Anderson & Rahman Dermatology
Anderson & Rahman Dermatology enjoys new space By Carol Z. Shane Recently, a client entered the new building housing Anderson & Rahman Dermatology. “A bigger office to run around in, huh?” he joked with the administrative staff. Indeed, the new spacious and welcoming space just up the road from the old office is already popular with those who work there, including administrative assistant Allie Bradshaw, who says she likes “the combination of a spa-like atmosphere in an advanced medical and surgical facility.” Drs. Elizabeth Anderson, Quyn Rahman and Adam Wright agree. “The practice that I opened in 2007 as a solo physician has grown significantly; now we have three physicians as well as mid-level providers practicing in both Knoxville and Lenoir City,” says Dr. Anderson. “We had really outgrown our space. This move was critical for us to continue to provide high-level care to our patients!” With approximately 10,000 square feet, the new office is more than triple the size of the old one. And it’s just a quarter of a mile west of the previous location. Anderson & Rahman Dermatology’s patients receive care from doctors with advanced dermatologic training and certification. Both Drs. Anderson and Rahman are board-certified in dermatology and dermatopathology. As two of the few dermatologists in Knoxville with board certification in dermatopathology, their additional training and skill provides them with expertise in interpreting skin biopsies, which allows them to better diagnose and treat their patients. The newest member of the team, Dr. Adam Wright, is board-certified in dermatology and fellowship-trained in Mohs micrographic surgery. Dr. Wright is, in fact, the only fellowshiptrained Mohs surgeon in Knoxville. Mohs surgery is the most effective technique for removing both basal cell
carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, the most common types of skin cancer. Using this specialized and advanced technique, cure rates for both of these types of carcinoma are as high as 98 percent, significantly higher than the rates for other skin cancer treatments. The new facility includes a state-of-the-art Mohs surgery suite and Mohs laboratory. Dr. Wright, who trained at the renowned Mayo Clinic in Minnesota, states “Our new facility replicates the advanced equipment and capabilities that patients would travel from across the country to experience at Mayo Clinic right here in Knoxville.” “We treat a lot of skin cancer,” says Dr. Anderson. “The past few months we’ve been diagnosing more skin cancer than we’ve seen in a long time.” She believes the uptick in skin cancer diagnoses is due to several factors. “People are active and they’re living longer. Twenty years ago we weren’t in the routine of protecting ourselves from the sun.” She’s glad to see continued improvement in skin care products over the past two decades. In addition, “people are starting to pay more attention to their skin; they’re catching the symptoms earlier.” She encourages everyone to memorize the “ABCDE” of melanoma detection (see box.) Finally, in addition to comprehensive adult and pediatric dermatology and surgical care, Anderson & Rahman Dermatology’s new facility greatly enhances the cosmetic medicine capabilities and patient experience. They offer a full suite of cosmetic services, including Fraxel Laser, Clear and Brilliant Laser,
Botox Cosmetic, Dysport, Juvederm, Voluma, Restylane, Perlane, spider vein treatment and chemical peels. For the best in comprehensive skin care, visit Anderson & Rahman

The ABCs of melanoma The American Academy of Dermatology offers this easily remembered way of checking your skin for symptoms of melanoma. When you notice a mole, check for these characteristics:
A – Asymmetry – one half is unlike the other. B – Border – an irregular, scalloped or poorly-defined border. C – Color – varied from one area to another; has shades of tan, brown or black, or is sometimes white, red or blue.
D – Diameter – melanomas are usually greater than 6mm (the size of a pencil eraser) when diagnosed, but they can be smaller. E – Evolving – a mole or skin lesion that looks different from the rest or is changing in size, shape or color. Also, if you notice a spot that is different from others, or that changes, itches or bleeds, you should make an appointment to see a dermatologist.
