The quarterback position should be the least of Vols coach Butch Jones’ worries. Did you see that running game April 22 in Neyland Stadium at the Orange and White game? Me neither. It was nonexistent.

Teaming up to save lives
By Margie Hagen
Firefighters from Rural Metro and Knoxville Volunteer Emergency Rescue Squad brushed up on skills during a daylong training session last week at the RM fire station on North Watt Road. Using two wrecked cars, the clinic participants went through exercises designed to support synergy between the two teams. RM Battalion Chief William Kear and KVERS Deputy Chief John Whited have a
relationship going back 30 years; they began their careers in the same RM firehouse. Today that relationship pays off for Knox County as they continue work together to improve response times and techniques. Both organizations provide essential services; RM is the subscription service for fire protection and ambulance response, while KVERS specializes in vehicle extrication, dive and swift water rescue, structure col-
lapse, search, cave and vertical rescue. It’s a 24/7 operation, and combining the expertise of both just makes sense. The partnership puts the teams working together out of the firehouses, enabling them to rapidly respond to virtually any emergency with the right staff and equipment. “Knox County is growing fast, so it’s the right thing to do to meet those needs,” said Whited.

From page A-1
As a 17-year-old wanting to escape the confines of the rigid school system in England and looking for adventure, Brock set sail from Southampton and journeyed to the area near the equator inhabited by the indigenous Wapishana Indians. Spending 15 years there, he learned firsthand about the struggles endured by the natives lacking any medical care. His own near life-threatening accident there would involve a 26-day trek to the nearest doctor, so he made a vow to work to bring medical care to those with no access or resources to pay. Founded by Brock in 1985, RAM has brought free medical, dental, eye care and even veterinarian services to hundreds of thousands of patients. From humble beginnings, RAM has grown to serve over 32,000 people just last year, with 11,000 volunteer medical professionals and support staff providing over $10 million in services. And that’s top-notch care, with well-equipped mobile units going around the country and the world to alleviate suffering. There are many heartbreaking stories, but RAM fights that battle one patient at
a time. Chief philanthropy officer Anabel Evora said, “With poor health, people can’t get jobs or maintain family life. The work we do enables our patients to feel more confident with better health, dental work to improve a smile, or better vision. Not only does it improve their general welfare, but their financial prospects as well.” For Brock, it’s a vision realized. Typically modest, but with a droll and witty sense of humor, he downplays his achievements. When asked what brought him to Knoxville he replied, “Well, I was piloting a plane and low on fuel.” An animal lover and conservationist, Brock co-hosted and produced TV’s “Wild Kingdom” and starred in other wildlife programs. An author of several books, his most recent one, “All the Cowboys Were Indians,” tells of his adventures during his early years and how it shaped his future. RAM is a nonprofit organization relying on donations and volunteers to fund its work. Programs like the Appalachian Initiative and RAM Rangers Youth Program are ways to get involved in your local area. More info: ramusa.org.

“We are always looking for ways to improve the dynamics and training,” said Kear, “Everyone gets the same training and we bring all those skills together.” In all, eight West Knoxville engine companies rotated through the clinic in one day. Established in East Tennessee in 1977, Rural Metro maintains stations throughout Knox County and the surrounding communities. Kear has dedicated his career to serving in the county. It’s a similar story for KVERS Deputy Chief Whited; a graduate of Farragut High School, he stayed local during his 25 plus years in the organization and has been instrumental in development and instruction. He has served on the Local Emergency Planning Commission, ET Search and Rescue Task Force and as a
medic with Knox County Sheriff’s Office SWAT team. Both organizations are made up of volunteer and paid staff; all are required to attend training sessions and keep current on certifications. RM’s subscription fees go to maintaining the quality of personnel, equipment and service. It’s prudent to think of it as an insurance policy; if you’re not paying now and have an emergency, you will receive a bill that is most likely much higher than the subscription cost. Subscribers can take advantage of inhome programs offered by Rural Metro; home safety plans, fire extinguisher and smoke detector checks are all included in the service. They’ll even change your batteries if you need help with that! Visit: ruralmetrofire.com for more info.

Playground honors Zaevion Dobson
Last week, Mayor Madeline Rogero and other dignitaries cut the ribbon on the playground in Lonsdale Homes that was named in memory of Zaevion Dobson. The project was a joint effort between Knoxville’s Community Development Corporation, Gerdau and the City of Knoxville. The idea for the park came from his mother, Zenobia Dobson, during a tour of the neighborhood with Lonsdale

Bearden Middle Science Olympiad team takes 25th state championship By Kelly Norrell Determination, good coaching and a year of hard work paid off when the Bearden Middle School Science Olympiad team walked away from the state tournament at the University of Tennessee March 26 in first place. But that’s not all. The team qualified to compete in the national tournament, to be at Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio, May 20, making Bearden Middle one of the top 60 teams in the U.S. Twenty-three of the 27 members of the team will attend that event, and the top 15 will compete. But that’s not all. This was the 25th time in 32 years of competition that Bearden Middle has taken the state title. Bearden Middle School is the secondwinningest Science Olympiad team in the country. “It is a tremendous feat to have won the 25th state championship. The kids put in long hours every day after school and all day Saturday, from August until May. Their coaches are up here also,” said Sarah Kenny, seventh-grade math teacher and, along with sixth-grade math teacher Emily Butterfield, co-sponsor of Science Olympiad. “I wasn’t surprised, but I was relieved that we won. It was close,” said eighthgrader Ryan Gibbons, 14. “It was probably the dedication of the students and the dedication of the coaches. We are fortunate to have so many coaches helping.” “The sheer amount of time these kids put in. They are at the school 2-5 times each week after school for two hours, and on Saturdays from 9 to 3. That’s what it takes,” said team coach Bill Kenny. He added that this schedule lasts from August through May. Now the members are preparing for the national event. “Our five ninth-graders have come back to work with the team to get them ready for nationals,” he said. Science Olympiad is a team competition in which
Bearden Middle School Science Olympiad team members at the state tournament at UT are (back) Maggie Dobson, Elizabeth Stambaugh, Kassidy Gray, Gavin Madgett, Henry Dansereau, Colin Dobson, Reese Gabrielson, Ryan Gibbons, coach Bill Kenny, James Pierce, (middle) Harry Crist, Radwan Algasi, Iris Zaretzki, Abby Rinaldi, Cathy Fan, Ian Scott, Willy Kenny, Inesh Nabier (front) Sophie Foster, Hannah Bhakta, Isaac Zarestzki, Seth Bhakta, Stone Newton.
students compete in activities relating to different scientific disciplines, such as earth science, biology, chemistry, physics and engineering. There are 193 teams in Tennessee and 7,200 in the U.S., Kenny said. Students compete in two kinds of events – academic and building, said Ryan. “In academic, you study a form of science and take a test. In building, you build a device and test it against other teams’ devices.” He said Bearden Middle’s teams built a wood airplane, a tower that is able to hold up buckets of sand, and a bottle rocket. In an example of academic, Ryan used chemistry and forensics to solve a crime. In a food science event, students burned a cheese puff to determine how many calories it had. Ryan said he didn’t get nervous at the state competition until the awards ceremony. “At first I was like, ‘We’ve got this,’” he said.
BUICK Lacrosse

“But once I started hearing other teams get the awards, I got nervous because the awards determine who moves on. We have some major rivals we were very worried about.” Competing at nationals will be: Harry Crist, Hannah Bhakta, Seth Bhakta, Henry Dansereau, Colin Dobson, Sophie Foster, Reese Gabrielson, Ryan Gibbons, Kassidy Gray, Willy Kenny, Stone Newton, James Pierce, Abby Rinaldi, Ian Scott and Iris Zaretzki. Kenny said donations toward the trip, which will cost $20,000, are welcome. Info: Bearden Middle School Office, 865-5397839.

News from Pope’s Plant Farm
Variety is what we’re about! Early spring in East Tennessee is an exciting time. Certainly at the nursery, an overabundance of plant options can be found. Many native flowering trees such as dogwood, redbud and serviceberry can easily find a home in your garden. Popular flowering shrubs such as rhododendron, viburnum, camellia, and forsythia are great options to add color to your spring landscape. Viburnum in particular seem to hold a special place in our hearts. Commonly called snowball bush, the medium to large shrubs are generally very hardy, and many varieties add tremendous sized flowers and fragrance to your garden. On the smaller end of the scale are the many flowering perennials that bloom in early spring. Candytuft, creeping phlox and dianthus are all great, low-growing flowering ground covers that help fill the edges of your landscape beds with carpets of color. Dianthus is a personal favorite because of its compact habit and evergreen foliage. Most of these spring flowering plants don’t bloom for a particularly long time, but that is part of their charm. It’s through a combination of various bloom times, colors and textures that we achieve year-round interest in our gardens. Whether you’re driving down the highway, hiking your favorite trail, or working in your backyard, take a moment to appreciate the natural beauty of East Tennessee.

Shane In the time-honored manner of good folks who like to help out other good folks by doing good things, members of Church Street United Methodist Church recently kicked off their first “Day of Blessings” by banding together and helping out at Vestal United Methodist Church. There were 58 members from Church Street and 14 from Vestal for a total of 72 willing and able “hands-on
helpers.” Pat Bellingrath, missions committee chair, had sent out the call for anyone who wanted to help with “cleaning, organizing clothing and things for the Sharing Shop, doing construction, making detergent and ‘Blessing Bags,’ doing yard work and other various jobs.” “Thanks be to God for Pat Bellingrath!” exclaimed associate pastor the Rev.

Diane McCarn and Mary Ellen Smethells enjoy tidying up the grounds at Vestal United Methodist Church. it and other rooms, planting Lenten roses, cleaning out storage areas and sorting through many rooms of supplies and clothes. Church Street youth drew greeting cards and assembled 117 Blessing Bags consisting of bottled water, crackers, granola bars, wipes,
toothbrush and toothpaste, Kleenex and hand sanitizer. “They will be shared with the homeless and anyone who is in need,” said missions committee member Suzanne Matheny. “We will keep them in our church office to be distributed as well as in our cars so that we
can easily hand them out to folks we encounter.” All in all, it was a wonderful day full of hard work, bonding with old friends and meeting new ones. “Count your many blessings,” said Matheny. “See what God has done!”

It’s Kentucky Derby Day on Saturday, May 6, in Louisville, Ky., when the thoroughbreds run for the roses at Churchill Downs in the race’s 143rd edition. It’s also Derby Day in Knoxville, as the Rotary Club of Knoxville presents its third annual Jockeys & Tom King Juleps Derby Party on Saturday, 3-7 p.m. “Jockeys & Juleps” is a Kentucky Derby party fundraiser that benefits the Rotary Foundation of Knoxville, established in 1929 to provide financial assistance to worthy college students. The foundation is a 501(c)3 organization that receives tax-deductible contributions and provides funding for two primary missions of the Rotary Club of Knoxville: college scholarships and special projects. Last year the Foundation not only awarded $25,000 in scholarships to deserving Knox County school students, but
also sponsored projects ranging from an after-school reading program at Beaumont Elementary School to refurbishing the Elkmont Amphitheater in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The race is known as the “Two Most Exciting Minutes in Sports” by its approximate duration. Post time for the Derby is around 6:34 p.m. This is a unique and festive party. You are urged to come dressed in Derby attire. It is being held at Lighthouse Knoxville, 6800 Baum Drive, which is a country setting in the heart of West Knoxville. There will be bourbon tastings and a contest for the Derby-clad lady wearing the prettiest hat. There will be a gentleman’s tie contest, a drawing for the winning horse and the prizes are all Derby themed. “We will be offering our guests Derby themed foods and, of course, yummy mint juleps. This year we will have two thoroughbred horses for pictures and an authentic Derby Day feel. Let’s not forget that our guests will also experience a red carpet arrival!,” said Kim Isenberg, the event chair for the Knoxville Rotary Club.
BOMA/Beer Board welcomes new business By Margie Hagen
Farragut’s Beer Board welcomed new business Stefano’s Pizza, approving the license recommended by Town Recorder Allison Myers during the last meeting on April 27. The restaurant, owned and operated by Aubrey’s Inc., will be at 11683 Parkside Drive in Turkey Creek. The Beer Board, composed of the members of the Board of Mayor and Aldermen, meets before every meeting when applications are pending. Town Hall will soon be getting up to speed, Internet wise, that is. The board approved a contract to M3 Technology Group to install cabling and update the physical infrastructure of the computer system. Since January, Farragut’s new IT manager, Joe LaCroix, has been developing a plan to integrate the system in order to increase speed and improve reliability. Alderman Louise Povlin remarked, “This is the beginning of the process of bringing Town Hall up to date.” The contract includes removing old cabling, and will enable the town to bring all servers and data back in-house. An amendment to the Planned Commercial Development District (PCD) was approved, allowing the Kingston Pike
Properties development at Kingston Pike and South Watt Road to move forward. The amendment now stipulates that the concept master plan be prepared by a professional team including a licensed engineer, registered land surveyor and landscape architect, all with Tennessee credentials. Building scale and height were also clarified, allowing for more flexibility when designing projects zoned for the PCD district. Other business included approving a new fee schedule for town of Farragut services regarding food trucks, plumbing, gas and mechanical permits and Parks and Leisure concession fees. The fee schedule is online at townoffarragut.org, or call 865966-7057. Keith Alley, current municipal judge, was appointed to serve another one-year term. Alley presides over cases involving violations of codes of ordinances, as well as hearing traffic cases. Court convenes the second Monday of each month at 6 p.m., if there are cases to be heard. Running our town may look easy, but BOMA and staff are constantly looking to the future. Parsing every word of every ordinance, they look at not only how their actions will affect residents today, but also what it will mean in the years to come.
Anesthesiology group pledges $1.5 million to UTMC The physician group University Anesthesiologists has made a four-year $1.5 million philanthropic commitment to The University of Tennessee Medical Center and the UT Graduate School of Medicine. The contribution will fund initiatives including educational and training opportunities for anesthesiology residents and nurse anesthetists, expanded faculty training and development, program and equipment needs at the UT Center for Advanced
Medical Simulation. Once fully funded, the endowment will be named for Dr. Jerry L. Epps, former chairman of the Department of Anesthesiology and current chief medical officer for UT Medical Center. Since its founding in 1979, University Anesthesiologists has provided the physician leadership for the UTMC Department of Anesthesiology and the Anesthesiology Residency. As such, the UT Medical Cen-

This year’s contest was hosted by the Wisconsin Cheese Makers Association.

Reporter’s notebook: Mangled trees and the return of an old political hand What, oh what to do about the Alice Bell Park Tree Massacre? Weeks after a privately hired landscaping crew whacked major limbs off flowering trees in the park, city officials are having a tough time figuring out how to remedy the damage. There’s been a lot of correspondence between Alice Bell Spring Hill Neighborhood Association president Ronnie Collins and city officials, but the matter is still unresolved. Collins’ first email was to urban forester Kasey Krouse, who said he’d already investigated the matter and learned that the culprits were landscapers hired by Amigos Restaurant, the park’s next-door neighbor. “Their intent was to clean up the area and make it look more presentable, but I don’t think their contractors

The matter between traditional Demo-
crats and Progressives. Out of public office since 2010, he lost a re-election bid to Pam Trainor in the wake of the county’s settling a female custodian’s sexual harassment lawsuit that named him as the offender. School video of Bratton walking in the hallway of a school with the custodian was made public, and Knox County Schools took the unusual step of banning a sitting board member (Bratton) from school property. His sponsorship of a 1993 County Commission resolution urging Congress not to extend civil rights protection to gay people was also a flashpoint. Bratton’s defense is that gays are not a downtrodden minority. Ultimately, however, Bratton won out 8-6 over Colby Inman, who has never held public office.

Vols’ running game a step behind Even some 10 days after the Orange and White Game, the University of Tennessee football team’s quarterback situation continues to spark debate. Should Quinten Dormady be named the starter? He went 10-for10 in the spring game. Or maybe big-armed Jarrett Guarantano? If he doesn’t play this fall, the threat of him transferring may surface. Maybe both should be named co-starters? Tough call for Tennessee coach Butch Jones. In reality, that position should be the least of his worries. Did you see that running game April 22 in Neyland Stadium? Me neither. It was non-existent. Sure, expected running back starter John Kelly did not play. But given what his understudies showed before the storms arrived, it’s apparent Tennessee needs a quality backup.
Jesse Smithey
Prized recruit Ty Chandler can’t report to the backfield fast enough. I’m not one to look too deeply into spring game production, but it was hard not to notice a lack of playmaking ability out of the backfield – especially on a day when the defense wasn’t at SEC level intensity. Tennessee ran for 57 yards on 21 carries. Running Back U? More like Running Back Who? Carlin Fils-aime had the long run of the day with nine yards. And just by the time I figured out who Taeler Dowdy was, he limped off the field. Kelly was held out of the game for precautionary reasons. When we see
him again in the fall, Kelly will be Kelly. He averaged 6.4 yards per tote last season, rushing for 80 or more yards five times. He’ll need spells, though, this fall. No team can survive in the SEC with just one quality running back. Tennessee signed three running backs in the Class of 2017: Chandler, Tim Jordan and Trey Coleman. Chandler is the 4-star, two-time Mr. Football winner from Montgomery Bell Academy who tore through Tennessee high school football as an upperclassman and garnered U.S. Army All-American honors. Jordan and Coleman are two- and three-star talents, according to Rivals, and not expected to contribute immediately. I’ve watched Chandler play plenty; he’s capable of pulling this off.

Bill promotes higher education opportunities Tennessee lawmakers recently passed legislation sponsored by state Rep. Dennis Powers (R-Jacksboro) that reconnects Te n n e s s e e adults to higher education opPowers portunities. House Bill 531, also known as the Tennessee Reconnect Act, makes Tennessee the first state in the nation to of-
fer all Tennessee adults without a degree access to community college tuition-free — and at no cost to taxpayers. Currently, Tennessee adults without a degree or certificate can already attend Tennessee Colleges of Applied Technology (TCATs) tuition-free. House Bill 531 adds community colleges into that same category. The legislation also expands on a program launched in 2015 aimed at attracting approximately 900,000 Tennesseans who have earned
some college credit, but not enough to earn a degree. To be eligible for Tennessee Reconnect, a student must be a Tennessee resident for at least one year preceding the date of application and must not already have an associate or bachelor degree. Other requirements include completion of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) where the applicant is deemed an independent student, participation in an approved advising program, and enrollment in
any of the state’s 13 public community college’s degree or certificate programs for six semester hours. In order to maintain the Tennessee Reconnect grant, the student must enroll in classes leading to an associate’s degree or certificate continuously and maintain at least a 2.0 GPA. “This legislation is a tremendous investment in our state’s economy because it provides adults with new avenues for career growth,” said Powers. “Companies in our state also benefit be-
cause new job candidates will have increased skills and experience to offer employers across Tennessee.” Powers serves as a member of the House Business & Utilities Committee, as well as the House Insurance & Banking Committee and Subcommittee. Powers lives in Jacksboro and represents House District 36, which includes Campbell and parts of Union and Anderson Counties. He can be reached by email at: Rep.Dennis.Powers@capitol.tn.gov or by calling 615-741-3335.

However, they will not all be Tennesseans. East Tennessee is missing any representation at present. State Sen. Ken Yager, 70, of Rockwood has been mentioned as a possible choice along with former Virginia state senator Bill Wampler, 57, who lives in Bristol, Va. However, two more names have emerged. They are Jeff W. Smith, 58, associate director at ORNL in Oak Ridge, and Memphis attorney John Ryder. Smith is viewed almost as nonpolitical but a highly respected professional. He serves on the Knoxville Airport Authority and lives in West Knox County off Pellissippi Parkway. As an airport commissioner, he attends regularly, is methodical, has a dry sense of humor and asks questions. He has worked hard for the creation of an airport in the Oak Ridge area as chair of the general aviation committee. If on the TVA board, he might drop off the Airport Authority because of time, but it is not required. Ryder is a longtime business attorney who served as legal counsel to the Republican National Committee for many years. He also works on redistricting for the GOP in the state legislature and is considered an expert. ■■ Gov.

Powell woman finds surgeon is ‘straight shooter’ Paul Johnson, MD, an orthopaedic surgeon with Knoxville Orthopedic Clinic and Parkwest Medical Center, walked into Anna Halliburton’s exam room carrying an MRI report and bad news. “The first time I met him he walked in with the MRI report and said, ‘Your back is a wreck! What are we Paul Johnson, going to do about it?’” the 71-year-old Powell woman MD said. “I said, ‘I don’t know. You are the expert – you’ll have to tell me!’ And he did. He told me that surgery was a likely option.” It was not news she wanted to hear, as she had been looking forward to her retirement years. But it was not news that was totally unexpected. She had begun experiencing hip pain in early 2015 while she was still working as the vice president of finance and administration at a Knoxville civil engineering firm. “It was very uncomfortable. I was having a lot of difficulty walking and standing for any period of time,” she said. “I was having a lot of hip and leg pain and numbness and I thought it was my hip. But my primary care doctor said, ‘No, it’s not your hip – it’s your back.’ So he sent me to Dr. Johnson.” He quickly found Halliburton’s problem – two deteriorating and ruptured lumbar vertebrae at L4 and L5. “He told me that we could do surgery or we could try some other treatments,” she said. “And I did have a couple of steroid shots but they were not very effective. “After that, we talked about surgery some more, but I wasn’t quite ready,” said Halliburton, who had never had surgery before. “I was just not prepared to do that yet. As I was getting closer to retirement, it was getting worse. I was trying to train my replacement and I went ahead and finished working as best I could. I did miss some work because of the hip and leg pain, but I went ahead and retired April 30, 2015.” But as it turned out, those “golden years” of retirement weren’t so golden. Her husband, Jack, was diagnosed with cancer and her back pain grew worse. “She was almost in a wheelchair by the time she agreed to the surgery,” said Jack. “She’s tough.” “Later that fall, I went back to Dr. Johnson and we talk-

He had also told me to expect a six-month recovery period, which I thought was awfully long – but he was right. It took most of that time for me to get back to where I was pretty functional again,” she said. A year has passed and Anna Halliburton is back doing the things she enjoys. “The surgery and the recovery period went much better than I had expected,” she said. “I can do pretty much everything I did before the surgery with just a little bit of limitation, not much lifting. But as far as doing housework, yardwork, household projects, I have no problem.” In fact, she and her husband even helped build the exterior walls of a Habitat for Humanity “Blitz Build” house sponsored by her former emed about the surgery again,” she said. “He set up an MRI ployer. “That was one of my ‘bucket list’ items,” she said. “It because the other one was about a year old by that time. was very exciting and very rewarding to be able to be part When I went back to see him for the results, he said there of that.

Lower back problems? You aren’t alone If you have lower back pain, you are not alone. Almost everyone has low back pain at one time or another. Understanding why it happens, and what you can do about it, is a big step toward relief. Your spine is made up of bones called vertebrae. The vertebrae in your lower back are called the lumbar vertebrae. Your vertebrae are separated by disks, which act as cushions between the bones. Your spinal cord passes through a tunnel, or canal, in the middle of the vertebrae. The cord is made up of nerves and other tissue. Spinal nerves, known as nerve roots, branch off the cord. These nerve roots exit through spaces between the vertebrae on each side and lead to other parts of the body.
Causes With aging, changes occur to the disks in your spine. Over time they become worn and less plump. As the disks flatten, the vertebrae can also rub against each other, causing wear and tear to the bone. Sometimes this causes new growths called bone spurs to form. The tough cartilage covering the disks can tear. The soft material inside the disk
Physical therapy and chiropractic care are sometimes used to relieve symptoms. Medications can often relieve pain and calm inflamed nerves. The most common choices are non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, known as NSAIDs. These include aspirin, ibuprofen and naproxen. Prescription pain medications, such as codeine or morphine, are sometimes prescribed for short periods of intense pain. Steroids and anesthetic can be injected into the spinal canal. This may Diagnosis help relieve chronic pain. A corset-type brace may help in If you have symptoms of lumbar disk disease, your health care provider may rec- some cases.

When a herniated disk or bony spur puts pressure on nerves, this can cause symptoms. You may have pain, tingling, numbness, or a burning feeling in your lower back, buttocks, hips, groin, or legs. This is known as sciatica. Some people may have weakness in the legs or feet. This can cause clumsiness or trouble walking.
