of numbers or boring formulas when she looks at a math or sci-ence problem. She sees fun.

Yu, who graduated from Farra-gut High School this past Saturday, has a special talent for all things math or science related. She has competed in and won countless competitions in both. In fact, Yu arrived back in Knoxville just in time for graduation after compet-ing in the International Science and Engineering Fair in Maryland.

Yu said she noticed her knack for math when she began skip-ping grades in middle school and things became more challenging. That’s when she says it became fun. “I like discovering the math-ematical beauty of problems.”

Her interest in science grew from Science Saturdays sponsored by Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Yu began participating two years

ago. Students in the program lis-ten to lectures for several weeks. Then they complete a project on a problem that hasn’t yet been solved by engineers.

Yu presented one such project at the international fair last week. Because of her work during Sci-ence Saturdays, she was chosen multiple times to intern at ORNL.

Terms such as “multimodal image registration techniques” and “non-rigid image registra-tion algorithm” are as common in

Yu’s vocabulary as “Admiral” and “lunch in the commons.”

Those technical terms will come in handy when Yu begins her fresh-man year at Harvard this fall. Princeton and MIT also invited her to enroll – probably in part because of her perfect ACT score – but Yu said the campus culture and profes-sors at Harvard had her at “Hello.”

“The academics at all three schools are amazing,” she said.

Fireworks expected at MPCThursday’s Municipal Plan-

Cottage Creek resident Christy Mahoney will be part of the crowd. Her neighbors are against the rezoning of 4.5 acres at the intersection of Campbell Station Road and Herron Road for an assisted-living center.

The intersection, directly across from the entrance to Founders Park at Campbell Sta-tion and the Farragut branch li-brary, is well-used by pedestrians, and increased traffi c could lead to a dangerous situation, she says.

“It’s a bad accident waiting to happen.”

The commission will also be discussing a proposed apart-ment complex on Smith Road and improvements to Smith and Union roads.

FBMA approves logo as part of town’s branding process

By Wendy SmithThe town has a new logo, strap-

line and look, and there’s nary an anchor in sight.

The Farragut Board of Mayor and Aldermen unanimously ap-proved the graphics recommend-ed by a committee that has been working closely with North Star Destination Strategies, a branding company hired by the town last year, for the past eight months.

The creative work was the third of a four-stage branding process. The fi rst stage was education and buy-in from the community, along with research and planning. The second stage resulted in a brand-ing platform statement that was approved by the board last August.

The fourth stage is action, or

By Betty BeanBack in February, Gov. Bill

Haslam gave teachers a reason to hope when he included nearly $100 million in his budget to give them a 4 percent raise.

Superintendent James Mc-Intyre made it clear it was past time to do it. Sales-tax revenue numbers were holding their own, and over on the county general government side, the notoriously penurious Mayor Tim Burchett was poised to recommend a 3 per-cent employee raise.

But now, the possibility looms that teachers could be the only Knox County employees who won’t get a pay raise, and there have been fears that the annual merit pay (APEX) bonuses could

Teachers’ raise in play with reduced schools budget

be in jeopardy as well. While Knox County Schools

personnel were awaiting Mc-Intyre’s recommendation on how to deal with a budget shortfall, County Commission chair Brad Anders and school board chair Mike McMillan were working out the details to convene a joint com-mission/school board meeting at

6 p.m. Thursday, May 21, at the East Tennes-see History Center, 601 South Gay St.

Both said everything will be on the table for discussion – including raising taxes.

“I’ve not had any dis-cussions with Dr. Mc-Intyre regarding cut-

ting the teachers’ pay raise (from the 3 percent McIntyre has rec-ommended),” McMillan said. “The question becomes how much are you going to cut?”

Though noncommittal, McMil-lan said he expects discussion of some kind of tax increase to come up at the joint meeting. Anders was blunt:

Jim McIntyre Chris CaldwellMike McMillan

“We haven’t had a property tax increase since 1999. I know it’s not popular among Republicans, but I’d like to talk about it. It’s going to get to the point that we have to,” he said.

“And it’s not just for schools for me – I don’t think the schools are as effi cient as they could be. But there are great infrastructure needs across the county.

“We’re on a 100-year rotation on paving roads, for example. We’ve got 2,000 miles of roads in the county, and we’re paving less than 20 miles a year, most years. The Rescue Squad, whom we de-pend on, is in fi nancial trouble. Do

The logo features an organic, green “F” that refl ects nature, roads or greenways, said Town Administrator David Smoak. The strapline, or slogan, is Farragut: Live closer. Go further.

The board also approved three items having to do with Everett Road improvements. An agree-ment with the Knoxville Utilities Board to move utility lines as part of the project was approved. The utility company will cover the cost of the work, which is estimated at $610,352.50.

The board approved a proposal from Qk4 Inc. to man-age and inspect the project. Some of the work will be ab-sorbed by town staff, said town engineer Darryl Smith. The service has a price cap of $373,317.14.

During his report, Smoak said Everett Road improve-ments will be the town’s largest municipal project to date.

The board also approved the purchase of a pre-owned 2010 Dodge Ram 5500 bucket truck to replace its current 2010 model, which is beginning to have maintenance is-sues. The purchase price of the truck will be $67,210, pending a professional appraisal.

we let them fall?“In my district, we’ve got two parks – Harrell Road and

Plumb Creek – sitting, purchased and designed, but notdone. We’ve got a subdivision in Karns, the road is comingapart from the curb. We should be doing more sidewalksaround schools.”

But for now, the county’s fi nance director, Chris Caldwell, said the problem is simple arithmetic.

Burchett’s budget appropriates $14 million more than last year to Knox County Schools, based on growth insales and property tax revenues. But the state fundingformula covers only 44 percent of KCS teachers, leavingthe county to make up the gap – a gap that’s exacerbatedby last year’s decision by the school board to spend $4million from its fund balance.

Caldwell also said automatic step raises are not built into county general employees’ pay scales (unlike teach-ers), making it diffi cult to draw an apples-to-apples com-parison.

There’s just something about that tug on the line …

Veteran and fi rst-time fi shers got to experience the thrill of the catch on Satur-day, May 9, at Anchor Park when the town of Farragut held its 31st annual Bob Watt Youth Fishing Rodeo.

The event is a favorite in Farragut. The town pro-vides the bait and a few fi shing poles for those who don’t have their own. From there, it was time to com-mune with nature and wait for that line to go taut.

Victims speak as Whiteside faces judgmentOn the west side

Whiteside’s legal issues appear to have had little effect on his so-cial, professional or political life. Within a couple of weeks of the shooting, he helped stage a gala fundraiser to celebrate the open-ing of the new Duncan School of Law.

In spring 2011, he co-hosted a lavish Las Vegas bachelor party for Zane Duncan, younger son of U.S. Rep. Jimmy Duncan and younger brother of then-trustee John Duncan III. Invited guests included a gaggle of prominent Republican political aspirants.

In June, a grand jury bumped Whiteside’s charge up to fi rst-degree murder. The following January, White side set aside his partisan preferences and served as an on-the-scene reporter for a

local TV sta-tion at the 2013 inaugu-ration of Presi-dent Barack Obama.

His most recent TV ap-pearance was as a proud parent when his son, a stu-dent at Webb School and point guard of

the varsity basketball team, inked the papers for a basketball schol-arship to Cornell University.

MPi Solutions, headed by Whi-teside’s wife, Jackie, aggressively pitches its expertise on the com-pany website:

“MPi Solutions offers a variety of services aimed at businesses seeking government contracts. … The New Wall Street is the U.S. Government! Are you ready to benefi t from the change? Let us help you. Large or small, just starting out or celebrating your 100th anniversary, we may have a solution for you.”

On the east sideWhiteside had other business-

es, including a Burlington event space called the Broker, which was set ablaze in February 2004. Three days later, a fi re broke out in Sudderth’s new nightclub, Phatz Sports Grill, a few blocks away. A second blaze further damaged Phatz a few months later. Each man suspected the other of arson, witnesses say.

Sources say the judge will hear proof that Whiteside and Sud-derth were rivals in yet another business. It wasn’t a T-shirt shop they were patronizing the night of the shooting (as described in media accounts), but an adjacent gambling establishment. They had been locked in a bitter dis-pute over a small, spring-mounted plastic device called “slap dice,” much sought after by craps play-ers. Whiteside had been importing them from Asia and making a tidy profi t; Sudderth was horning into the franchise. At least one crime-scene witness reported seeing Sudderth make a sudden U-turn on Martin Luther King Boulevard when he saw Whiteside’s SUV in the parking lot that night.

There is no dispute that Sud-

derth and Whiteside had a loud confrontation inside the “T-shirt shop,” or that Sudderth was or-dered to leave, or that Whiteside went outside shortly thereafter and within seconds, shot Sud-derth with a 9 mm Glock, left his body in the parking lot, got into his car and drove a block and a half to fl ag down a police offi cer and turn himself in. Investigators confi scated Whiteside’s handgun and picked up 14 spent shells from the pavement at the crime scene. An autopsy would show that 13 shots connected, mostly to Sud-derth’s side and back.

Lynn Porter ridicules White-side’s self-defense claim, saying that Sudderth made it his busi-ness to let everyone know he was unarmed because he was a con-victed felon and subject to a fi ve-year sentence if found to be carry-ing a gun.

She was shocked when Dan Armstrong, the newly elected Third Judicial District Attorney General who inherited the case from his predecessor, informed her of the plea agreement on April 27. But after prayerful consider-ation, she says she’s going to be at peace, whatever the outcome.

Moving on“I’m asking the judge to give

him the whole 21 years (the top of the sentencing range), but I’m just going to ask God to give me his peace and comfort,” Porter said.

after her relationship ended in 2003. She says he and his family were strongly supportive when she battled cancer, and that Sudderth always supported his daughter, emotionally and fi nancially.

Isaacs has stayed busy, and last month shepherded former Knox County Trustee Mike Lowe to a sweet plea deal on charges of defrauding the county by hir-ing ghost employees to perform phantom jobs. A couple of Lowe’s “ghost” employees were outside auditors/tax collectors, a position Troy Whiteside held 2000-2004. Lowe had a dozen outside auditors. Ed Shouse, who is now the trustee, has fi ve, a number he says is suffi -cient to the needs of the offi ce.

Neither Isaacs nor Armstrong would comment for the record. Moncier confi rmed that he will take up the wrongful death suit against Whiteside when the crimi-nal case is concluded.

He and Isaacs are old comrades who teamed up to defend accused serial killer Tom “Zoo Man” Hus-key in the longest-running, most expensive murder trial in Ten-nessee history, and, despite over-whelming evidence of guilt, won something of a victory when they helped Huskey avoid the death penalty via mistrial on a quadru-ple murder charge in 1999, leaving him to serve a 66-year sentence on multiple rape charges.

As adversaries in Wilson v. Whiteside, they threatened each other with gag orders, lobbed in-sults and wooed reporters as they battled their way up to the Court of Appeals.

Moncier offered a preview of his case when he described Sud-derth as “a big, jovial fellow – very responsible, punctual and intel-ligent. A businessman. There’s an old saying about justice delayed,” he said.

“And I believe the last line of that saying is ‘justice denied.’ ”

Troy Whiteside Knox County mug shot

Sources say he will probably serve

seven years.

This is the unedited letter 16-year-old Amber Sudderth has written to the court re-garding the sentencing of Troy Whiteside for killing her fa-ther:

“Ever since August 22, 2009, my life has changed drastically. That’s the day you took my fa-ther’s life and took him away from me.

“Taking my father away from me has caused me so much heartache and pain. … He was my best friend and to lose him is like losing a part of me.

“His death caused many is-sues like heartache and fi nan-cial problems. Even though my mama and daddy were not married they had a bond like no other. Seeing her struggle then losing him is still the worst feeling ever.

“We (me and my mom) struggle every day to get by without him and his help. My daddy was also there for me whenever I needed him. Some-

times my life feels empty with-out him.

“People make my daddy out to be all these things, but I don’t care. That is still my dad-dy, regardless. Mr. Whiteside

‘My life feels empty without him’

you don’t seem to be any less scary than they say my dad was.

“Honestly, you are scary to me. I never knew how I would face you because of what you’ve done. Nobody deserves to have their life taken away like this, not even you.

“I’ll forgive you, yes I do. But I’ll never forget what you did. It will always live with me. I’ll never forget hearing the words, ‘He didn’t make it.’ That will always replay in my head. You have kids. Can you imagine if someone took you away from them and they had to suffer through this?

“I wish my daddy was still here, but since he’s not justice should be served. There is no reason for u to shoot someone that many times. It’s not self-defense. It’s murder. Straight murder. I have siblings and in know they feel the heartache. I was the closest one to my father and our bond was be-yond strong. And now I have to live with knowing someone took my best friend from me.”

–Amber Sudderth

“I’ve turned it all over to

God. It will be made right

in God’s time, and in the

meantime, I’m not going

to let anybody steal my joy.

There’s nothing I can do

about it anyway.”

Sources say he will probably serve seven years.

Porter and her daughter, like the rest of Stacy Sudderth’s friends and family, had hoped for a mur-der conviction for the politically connected Troy Donovan “Pete” Whiteside.

To them, this is just the latest in a string of disap-pointments.

Ten days af-ter the shoot-ing, Sudderth’s survivors gath-ered at the City County Building for W h i t e s i d e ’ s s c h e d u l e d Sessions Court arraignment. They were shocked to learn that he’d already been arraigned on a charge of second-degree murder in an unpublicized hearing held at the Knox County Sheriff ’s De-tention Facility the day before. His bond was reduced from $750,000 to $50,000, and they had received no notification of the hearing.

Attorney Herb Moncier, who had represented Sudderth in an earlier murder-for-hire case and won an acquittal, had been retained by Sudderth’s mother, Erma Jean Wilson, to fi le a wrong-ful death claim against Whiteside. He challenged the arraignment but was rebuffed by Judge Mary Beth Leibowitz and the Court of Appeals, which ruled that defen-dants’ rights trump those of vic-tims. The civil suit has been in legal limbo, awaiting resolution of the criminal case, although Whi-teside’s attorney, Greg Isaacs, at-tempted to have it dismissed when Mrs. Wilson died in 2010. Lynn Porter says Wilson grieved herself to death.

Sudderth’s friends and fam-ily were further surprised when District Attorney General Randy Nichols and every Criminal Court judge in Knox County except Lei-bowitz, who has since retired, bowed out of the case due to con-fl icts of interest. Whiteside has been liberal with campaign con-tributions.

Porter and Sudderth, both Al-coa natives, had broken up by the time Sudderth moved to Knox-ville. She knew little of his busi-ness dealings here, and less about the documented feud with White-side, who grew up in Lonsdale but moved to West Knox County after his business, a minority contract-ing fi rm called MPi Business Solu-tions, took off.

“I’ve turned it all over to God. It will be made right in God’s time, and in the meantime, I’m not going to let anybody steal my joy. There’s nothing I can do about it anyway.”

Amber has written a letter

to the judge (see sidebar), which she hopes to be allowed to read in court. Part of the letter is ad-dressed to Whiteside. She says she forgives him.

Porter said she has always lev-eled with Amber about the way the man who called her his “Booger-Bear” lived and died, and she’s been honest about the cascade of troubles that have plagued her since she was the victim of a bru-tal 1998 rape and home invasion that drove her to leave the com-munity where both she and Stacy grew up, and resulted in Stacy be-ing tried and acquitted of murder-for-hire in the death of one of the accused rapists.

And maybe most diffi cult of all, Porter has been honest about the two bouts of breast cancer she has survived since 2003. Amber worries about losing her mother, and has been hurt by the sear-ing headlines describing White-side (who has no prior criminal record) as a respected business leader and Sudderth as a danger-ous felon. Along with the rest of the family, she suffered through repeated postponements and de-lays while Whiteside walked free. A low point was when he showed up at Amber’s school to watch his son’s basketball team play.

Porter fought through her struggles and earned a bachelor’s degree from Tusculum College while working at Denso, and re-mained friends with Sudderth

Marvin West

Billy Joe O’Kain, a pitcher on the most successful Ten-nessee baseball team, didn’t make it to the big leagues. I thought he might.

Never wanted anyone to feel sorry for me

O’Kain was a star for the 1951 Vols, second in the Col-lege World Series. The team had a 20-3 season, best winning percentage in UT history.

Soon thereafter, baseball and life took bad hops.

On a surprisingly cold and wet July evening in Winner, S.D., O’Kain was

pitching for an independent team against an all-star del-egation from Cuba. Some-thing wasn’t right in his shoulder, but he kept trying. The Cubans knocked him around. Billy tried some more. That was his nature.

The next day and for a week, doctors tried to deter-mine the cause of his affl ic-tion. They failed.

At UT the following spring, O’Kain confi rmed what he already knew, that he wasn’t as effective as he had been, that his fastball had slowed, that his shoul-der might never be the same.

All was not lost. Bill mar-ried his sweetheart, Ruby McGinnis, and forfeited his UT scholarship. Robert R. Neyland, athletic director, did not fund married ath-letes. He demanded full-

time devotion.O’Kain became an elec-

trician apprentice in Oak Ridge, saved some money, returned to UT and hit an-other roadblock. He sud-denly couldn’t see properly.

Doctors discovered retinal hemorrhaging but couldn’t fi nd the cause. He made the elite hospi-tal rounds – Mayo Clinic, Johns Hopkins and Vander-bilt. No precise determina-tion, no cure.

“I drove part of the way home from Baltimore and realized I couldn’t see very well. We didn’t use the word ‘blind.’ It was a bad word. But by 1954, I was.”

A weak man would have crumbled. A fi ghter would have been discouraged. O’Kain never considered giving up. He signed up for a fi ve-month rehabilitation

program at the Arkansas Enterprises for the Blind.

He met Dick Freeling, a World War II victim who had been shot in the face and had lost senses of taste and smell – and sight.

“Bill Freeling was a won-derful man with a positive outlook on life. He was a ham radio operator and an insurance agent.”

Bill O’Kain became a ham radio operator. He opened an insurance agency in the basement of his Oak Ridge home.

Nothing to it, folks. He walked to work. Well, some-times he tumbled down the steps, but he got up and kept on keeping on in business for 40 years.

Bill is father of two. He is twice a grandfather. He has two great-grandchil-dren. Because Ruby was a

bowler, Bill bowled. He has been a deacon at Roberts-ville Baptist. He talks with radio friends “all over the world.”

Bill says Ruby has been the winning edge in his life. Before he hired a secre-tary and then two, she did the insurance paperwork at night after getting home from her day job. She was his tour guide all the years they had season tickets to Tennessee football and bas-ketball.

Do what? Go to games you can’t see?

“I can feel them,” said O’Kain. “I can be part of the excitement. I can go to a Tennessee baseball game and know the team is play-ing on the fi eld where I played.”

Because he once saw Mickey Mantle in action,

O’Kain has long been a fan of the Yankees – and the Braves and a few other teams. He buys a radio package to follow baseball closely.

“I can see the action through a play-by-play announcer. Television announcers aren’t much help. They talk about too many things unrelated to what’s happening on the field.”

Bill O’Kain, 84, will ad-dress the lunch bunch next week at Lake Forest Presby-terian Church. He will tell the audience that God has blessed his life.

“I’ve tried to do the best I can with what I have. I never wanted anyone to feel sorry for me.”Marvin West invites reader reaction. His

U.S. Rep. Jimmy Duncan and wife Lynn are selling their home on Butternut Circle in Sugarwood sub-division in Farragut. They plan to move into a smaller, one-level home in Knox County once their current home sells. They also own a lake house in Grainger County, which is part of the second congressional dis-trict.

■ Jason Zachary is defi nitely running for state representative to replace Ryan Haynes. He has pur-chased a home in the dis-trict. He won the Farragut portion of the district in his race for Congress in August 2014. Others are expected to run, too, but this time Zachary will be taken seri-

ously by all. Others may in-clude Lou Moran and Karen Carson. Former Farragut Mayor Eddy Ford has his house for sale and will not run. His wife, Linda, is re-covering from knee surgery.

■ Nashville: While Knoxville may be a cake-walk for Mayor Rogero’s re-election (with no one else running), Nashville faces a hot and heavy contest with seven credible candidates (all Democrats) as Mayor

Karl Dean retires after two terms as mayor.

These candidates are all well funded (all having raised over $500,000 each and several at $1 million). For one, at least, funding is unlimited due to his wealth. Two are women and one is African-American, Howard Gentry, who stands an ex-cellent chance of being in the runoff should no one get 50 percent of the vote plus one. No Republican is run-ning.

Candidates are Metro Council member Megan Barry, attorney Charles Robert Bone, David Fox, multimillionaire Bill Free-man, Criminal Court Clerk Howard Gentry (former vice mayor), Jeremy Kane and

Linda Eskind Rebrovick (daughter of Jane Eskind).

The upcoming city of Knoxville election is such a snoozer that less than 7 per-cent of the registered voters (or 6,500 voters) may actu-ally vote. The challengers to the incumbents to date are not seen as signifi cant.

■ Books: In modern times, only three persons have written books on the complete history of Knox-ville. They were Betsey Creekmore Sr.; Bill Ma-cArthur, along with Lu-cille Deaderick; and Bruce Wheeler, who with Mike McDonald wrote “Knox-ville: Mountain City in the New South” in 2003, pub-lished by the University of Tennessee Press.

Wheeler, 75, is the only one still living. I had lunch with him May 4 at The Orangery. He now lives in Wears Valley in Sevier County and is open to writ-ing an updated edition of his book, now 12 years old.

In fact, his 2003 book was an updated version of his earlier Knoxville his-tory. Wheeler said it would take six months to update the prior book and then the printing. In all likelihood, if he started soon, a new book could be published in early 2016. The 2003 edition sold over 1,200 copies.

A decision has not been made to do it, but much has happened since 2003 that should be recorded.

Jack Neely and Bob

Booker are also very able local historians. Neely has written several outstanding books, but his books gener-ally are targeted to a specifi c issue such as the Tennes-see Theatre. Booker has a great grasp of our African-American history. Both could write solid histories of the whole city should they decide to take on the chal-lenge.

■ On a personal note, Joan and I were in Rich-mond May 10 for our daugh-ter’s, Martha Ashe, 22, graduation from the Uni-versity of Richmond with a summa cum laude degree in business. Our son, J Victor, 25 on May 22, lives in San Jose, Calif., where he works for Cisco Systems.

Legend has it that at the end of every rainbow there’s a pot of gold, but at Mission of Hope, the rainbow that graces its logo signifi es something far more valuable than gold.

At the end of Mission of Hope’s rainbow stand dozens of young people with stars in their eyes and dreams in their hearts, each clutching a high school diploma and the promise of a college scholar-ship awarded by the organiza-tion that serves the families of poverty-stricken rural Appalachia in countless ways throughout the year.

One of those scholarship recipients is rising Middle Tennessee State University

(MTSU) junior Kellie Taylor. Mission of Hope Executive

Director Emmette Thompson describes her as “the zenith of what Mission of Hope has done so far in rural, dis-tressed communities.”

Poised, articulate, utterly delightful and well on the way to realizing her dreams, Kel-lie was a sixth grader in one of those rural schools when she fi rst encountered Mission of Hope.

“I remember when they came at Christmas and Santa pulled back those big sheets and uncovered all those toys and bikes and all kinds of wonderful things. It was one of the best days ever.”

It’s apparent, though, that

Kellie Taylor had also learned all about generosity at home. “My mom wanted me to give some of my toys to other kids,” she remembers with a smile.

That magical day in the life of a sixth grader marked the beginning of a long-term relationship between Kellie and Mission of Hope.

When she graduated from high school, Kellie says she cried when once again a sheet covering a big table was pulled back and every single student who had been award-ed a college scholarship from Mission of Hope also received a brand new laptop computer to help them in their college studies.

What’s at the end of your rainbow?“It was very emotional for

everyone,” she recalls.Off to college with lap-

top in hand and a major in organizational communica-tions and minors in Spanish and psychology ahead of her, she landed a position as a reporter for the MTSU school newspaper her very fi rst semester.

And that was just the beginning.

Now she has won what she excitedly terms “my dream internship.”

In the fall she will head to Orlando to work at Disney World for a semester while continuing her work toward a degree at MTSU online.

“I can’t wait,” she enthuses. “I feel mature, but I’m a kid at heart. Every work uniform there is a costume. When I was a kid I used to dream of things like being a movie star, but this is a bigger dream than I ever had before.”

Kellie says one of the best things about having a Mis-sion of Hope scholarship is that “they don’t just hand you money and let you go. They stay with you. I have a mentor who sends me cards and keeps up with me and encourages me, and I feel like Emmette is my best friend.

Emmette Thompson says the schol-arship pro-gram, funded by donations, has seen great success. Thir-teen schol-arships are awarded an-

nually. To date, 73 have been granted, 17 recipients have graduated and two students

are in graduate school. “So far, of all the kids we

have helped, 87 percent are the fi rst in their family to graduate from high school, 97 percent are the fi rst to gradu-ate from college. With over-whelming percentages, they will make sure their children graduate. We are breaking the cycle of poverty one kid at a time.”

Thompson says that while Mission of Hope is known for gifts to children at Christmas and school supplies at the start of the school year, the program is ongoing through-out the year.

“We say that we bloom like a tree with roots and branches. The roots are the elementary schools and mountain ministry centers. We make the donations to them and they do the distri-bution because they know the families and where the needs are greatest.”

The branches are re-sources: back-to-school items, construction, health care, scholarship and evangelism.

A total of 27 elementary schools, which feed into 13 high schools, and 55 ministry centers are served.

Kellie Taylor doesn’t know what her career will be after graduation, but she says one of the fi rst things she will do “is give back to a child. Em-mette told me just today that someone has to pick up the baton.”

She wants to see more young people standing at the end of that rainbow.

Be a millionaire day

If we are honest with ourselves, we will admit that we have wondered what it would be like to be rich. Filthy rich!

Today has been declared “Be a Millionaire Day!” (I have no idea who declared it so, but there it is.)

However, I have decided to count my blessings in-stead of my money; it will take longer and be more sat-isfying!

I am blessed in so many ways. My health is good. I have a smart, wonderful, handsome husband and two smart, beaut iful, talented daughters. I have a brother who taught me how to cen-ter a football when I was still in diapers and has al-ways been my champion. I have good friends – some of long-standing and new ones as well.

I have songs to sing, po-etry stored in my brain, good eyes (with the help of glasses, these days) and good books to read. I have memories of my parents

and grandparents, aunts and uncles and cousins, and the wonderful family stories that keep them all alive in my heart.

I have the faith of my fa-thers, and my own under-standings of the Lord’s sov-ereignty over all I am and have.

I have mountains to lift my eyes toward, the moon and the stars to fi ll my heart with wonder, mountain streams, and the occasion-al critter that crosses the backyard to remind me that I share this beautiful world with all of God’s creatures.

I am rich beyond imagin-ing, wealthy in all the ways that matter, blessed by God.

Who needs to be a mil-lionaire?

By Wendy SmithThe Salvation Army,

which celebrated its 150th anniversary last week, has stuck with its philosophy of offering “soup, soap and salvation” to the needy, says David Harrell, Knoxville Salvation Army director of development and commu-nity relations.

Staff of the local facility, 409 N. Broadway, hosted an open house last week in conjunction with National Salvation Army Week. The most visible aspect of the organization is its Red Ket-tle drive at Christmastime, but those who drop change in local kettles might not realize that their dona-tion primarily goes toward the faith-based nonprofi t’s transitional-housing pro-gram.

The program, called Op-eration Bootstrap, differs from similar programs in the community because it is work-based.

The goal is to provide the homeless with a clear path

to self-suffi ciency, Harrell says, and nine out of 10 cli-ents are placed in jobs with-in a couple of weeks. The facility has a career center and provides help with re-sumés as well as vouchers for professional clothes from the thrift store.

The Knoxville facility has 134 beds − 118 for men and 16 for women. Clients receive three meals a day and are expected to per-form chores and adhere to a curfew. If they abuse substances, they must be in treatment. Once employed, they are expected to pay rent.

Those who sit outside the local facility aren’t Salvation Army clients, Harrell says. Their clients are at work.

The second phase of Op-eration Bootstrap includes movement to permanent housing, and most go to non-subsidized housing. In the past six months, 140 people have graduated from the second phase of the pro-gram.

They include people like April, who shared her story at the organization’s recent City of Hope Gala. She grew up surrounded by drug us-ers and eventually landed in jail and lost custody of her children. Upon release from prison, she was re-quired to enter a program, so she chose the Salvation Army. During her stay, she was compliant and met her goals, Harrell says. She’s now working on a college degree and comes back to speak to women in the pro-gram.

“It’s a beautiful story of moving forward and giving back.”

The Knoxville facility includes the 25-bed Joy D. Baker Center, a domestic-violence shelter. The facil-ity has on-site security and is a safe place for women to heal, learn life skills and re-ceive job training. An emer-gency assistance program provides help for the work-ing poor, and a mobile can-teen can be dispatched to

Salvation Army shows love by meeting needs

By Sherri Gardner HowellA barbecue chicken din-

ner and slab of ribs from a group cooking and serving in the parking lot of the for-mer Kroger building in Far-ragut had a mighty sweet taste.

Every bite had a mis-sion behind it as Feeding God’s Children supporters manned the grills and serv-ing lines May 2-3 to support children in Guatemala and rural Appalachia.

The organization was founded by Sid and Shan-non Kemp in November 2005 as a Global Outreach Ministry program at Two Rivers Church in Lenoir City. In June 2008, it be-came a separate 501(c)(3) foundation.

The Kemps visited the Rev. David Alvarez in Gua-temala, saw his church and the living conditions for the children in 2004. Alvarez had started Centro Christi-

provide food in emergency situations.

All programs are an en-deavor to share the love of Christ by meeting needs without discrimination, he says. Attendance at church services is not required, but there is a church that meets at the facility.

Harrell thinks that meet-ing needs, like soup and soap, is an effective way to teach.

“Through the help, I do think they see Christ in what we do.”

The Salvation Army wel-comes donations to four area thrift stores and volun-teers. Special needs at the Knoxville facility include upgraded computers for the career center and linens.

Talking tours are offered at 11:30 a.m. on second Tuesdays. Call 525-9401 for information.

Feeding God’s Children founders Shannon and Sid Kemp, left and right, greet Dewey Warren at the fundraiser. Warren was quarterback of the University of Tennessee Vols from 1966-1969.

Grill master John Tuller didn’t mind a bit of smoke to help the Feeding God’s Children eff orts.

Rosalie Milam, 9 months, may not have many teeth, but she knows how to en-joy a rib at Feeding God’s Children chicken and rib dinner.

Feast for the soulana Cultural de Guatemala in one of the poorest neigh-borhoods in Guatemala City. He and his followers started a feeding program for 35 children from the neighborhood.

By the time the Kemps arrived, the program was already having a huge im-pact on the children. The Kemps came home with hearts heavy to help. The program’s mission is to pro-vide hot meals, vitamins, hygiene, tutoring, skill training, school supplies and a religious message to children in need.

This is the 10th year for the chicken and rib roast. This year’s efforts exceeded last year in sales and dona-tions by 20 percent, say the organizers. The efforts have raised more than $70,000 in 10 years.

By Mystery DinerLitton’s Market, Res-

taurant and Bakery has some dedicated purists. Their passion is the bur-ger. Add whatever sides you want, choose cheese or not, but don’t leave Lit-ton’s without eating the burger.

They have a point. The juicy, hand-patted Lit-ton Burger on a home-made bun with lettuce, tomato and onion is the cornerstone on which the restaurant part of the business was built. When Eldridge Litton founded Litton’s Market in 1946, it sold groceries, hardware, feed and gas, but not burgers. It was 1962 when Eldridge and his son, Ed-win, added a deli counter and sold the fi rst Litton Burger for 89 cents.

Barry and Kelly, the third generation of Lit-tons, are at the helm now. Today’s Litton Burger grew from a customer request in 1981. Barry cooked a hamburger on the market’s three-legged skillet – an eight-ounce burger with bacon on a hoagie bun for $1.99.

Being a rebel, Mystery Diner pushed the limit and ordered the Litton Thunder Road Burger. Having had the home-made chicken salad – take a tub home! – the lure of homemade pi-mento cheese on top of the famous burgers was too much to resist. The sautéed onions and jala-

peno peppers as toppers complete the symphony of fl avors.

Rebelling again, I chose a baked sweet po-tato instead of fries, then stole a few fries from my friend’s plate. Both were delicious.

The Thunder Road Burger was perfectly cooked. The pimento cheese was all melty and rich with fl avor that per-fectly complemented the burger and the onions. The buns at Litton’s are fresh, beautifully toasted and delicious. Thunder Road is simply a terrifi c entrée.

But here’s the thing about Litton’s: At some point, you gotta get past the burger. The quality of the food starts with the burger, but it doesn’t stop there. The salads are fresh and huge, with a home-made blue cheese dress-ing that is good enough to dip your fries in. The chicken salad is fi rst class. The steaks are high-end restaurant quality. Don’t even get me started on the onion rings. Desserts are in a class by themselves, with the coconut cream pie and red velvet cake at the top of the list.

If you eat out regu-larly, Litton’s can offer you a variety of great food choices. Every time I go, I vow to order something different, and I am stead-fast in my resolve – right up to the moment they de-liver the burger.

Mulligan (“An Education”) stars in a new adaptation of Thomas Hardy’s liter-ary classic “Far From the Madding Crowd,” opening Friday exclusively at Down-town West.

Mulligan plays Bathshe-ba Everdene, an unusually independent heiress who fi nds herself with three suit-ors: a sheep farmer (Matth-ias Schoenaerts), a dashing offi cer (Tom Sturridge) and a prosperous landowner (Michael Sheen). She must decide which – if any – is

right for her.Thomas Vinterberg (“The

Celebration”), co-founder (along with Lars von Trier) of the Dogme 95 movement, directed the fi lm.

Oscar winner George Clooney is back on the screen in “Tomorrowland,” a fi lm inspired by Walt Dis-ney’s Tomorrowland section of Disneyland and Epcot Center at Disney World.

Clooney plays a former boy genius who went into seclusion when his belief that a better world could ex-ist was destroyed. A science-loving, enthusiastic teen

(Britt Robertson) forces him to go on an adventure to prove that a secret world – Tomorrowland – exists.

Hugh Laurie, Tim Mc-Graw, Kathryn Hahn, Keegan-Michael Key and Judy Greer also star for two-time Oscar-winning director Brad Bird. The fi lm opens in wide release on Friday.

Also opening wide is “Poltergeist,” a remake of director Tobe Hooper’s 1982 horror classic.

Gil Kenan (“Monster House”) directed the new version, which stars Sam

Rockwell and Rosemarie DeWitt as a couple who move with their three chil-dren into a house in a sub-division that has seen better days.

Strange things imme-diately begin happening in their home, and when their younger daughter dis-appears, they realize that she has been abducted by supernatural forces. They call on a paranormal expert (Jared Harris) and a univer-sity professor (Jane Adams) for help.

Sam Raimi served as a producer on the fi lm.

outing? One with plenty of violence?

At fi rst glance those two things don’t go together. That’s why it’s important to stress that it’s theatrical violence. And not with guns – no, not by a (groan) long shot. We’re talking swords and quarterstaffs.

This weekend and the next in Harriman, Tenn., lords and ladies will be gathering for the Tennes-see Medieval Faire, and you’re invited. If you’ve ever longed to play dress-up, revel in food and drink from another era, cheer on a real, live jouster or just watch

otherwise sane grownups playing a very high-level form of make-believe, now’s your chance.

The event is produced by Lars and Barrie Paulson, Florida transplants and Ringling Medieval Faire vets who saw opportunity in East Tennessee for some “adventure tourism.” Own-ers and operators of Dark Horse Entertainment, LLC, Lars has specialized in car-pentry – he’s built sets and props for Pigeon Forge’s Titanic Museum, among others – and Barrie has her pedigree in fi ght training and performing. Though she proudly holds credentials in unarmed, single sword and

for youJoust “There is something for everyone,” Barrie says. “We have live jousting, warriors’ chess, trick shows, Celtic music, belly dancing, tur-key legs.” By the way, dads, there’s plenty of ale, and those frosty tankards are brought to you by “wench-es.” Beer alternatives are also provided. Women may prefer the “quality crafts, interactive period dance, handsome knights and ro-mantic actors.” Kids will enjoy puppet shows, sto-rytellers, games, warhorse and pony rides, and toy ven-dors. There are interactive comedy shows and plenty of good food.

And you and your little ones may end up learning a bit about history in the process. “It’s a new tradi-tion – joust for you,” says the website.

The Tennessee Medieval Faire will run the next two weekends, including Memo-rial Day weekend: May 23-25 and 30-31. Hours are 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Ticket prices are $14.95 for ages 13 and up, $7.95 for ages 5 to 12, free for ages 4 and under. Free parking is included. The fes-tival is located at 550 Fiske Road in Harriman.

quarterstaff battle – “an extremely diffi cult gold star to get” – she mostly directs performers now.

“It’s been Lars’ lifelong dream to build a Medieval/Renaissance festival ‘right’ from the ground up, in-stead of fi xing other people’s festivals and managing them,” Barrie says. The pair mounted a preview show last October and decided to go full-tilt (sorry) in May 2015 with a three-weekend grand opening.

“It takes a lot of time, money, hard work and com-munity support,” Barrie says. “Medieval/Renais-sance festivals have a re-gional draw. The closest permanent sites for Renais-sance festivals are 150-250 miles away, near Nashville, Atlanta, Charlotte and Lou-isville.” To the Paulsons, East Tennessee seemed ripe for its own permanent site, especially considering the prevalence of Scots-Irish lineage in the area. “If you go up the Appalachian fam-ily tree,” says Barrie, “you get kings and queens. So we want to honor the region’s Celtic heritage.”

And what will you fi nd at the Tennessee Medieval Faire?

Spring is the air and it’s time for thinking about things associ-ated with sunshine and warmth such as sandals, fl oppy hats

(for us southern women), and spring clean-ing. Yes, spring clean-ing, that age-old tradition of clean-ing and airing

out everything from the storage closet to the attic in order to let the fresh air and sunshine lift our spirits and cleanse our souls. A little cheesy sounding, yes, but admit it, you know exactly how good it feels to open the windows and just soak it all in!

This year spring cleaning was and continues to be on the top of my “to-do” list. However, my spring cleaning list was doubled due in part to my husband’s and my Georgia rental home being vacated by the tenant and our decision to put the home up for sale. Faced with the overwhelm-ing task of cleaning two homes, I needed to prioritize my action list into what I needed to clean up, clear out/throw away, or

organize for future use.The same spring cleaning

action list applies to our fi nances. If you don’t already have a plan or work with someone who has helped you create a plan, here are a few simple spring cleaning tips to get started:

■ Clean up: Review your savings plans

and automate your monthly savings. Participate in available employer retirement plans (try to contribute the minimum amount needed to get the full company match, if available.

Review your portfolio alloca-tions and rebalance according to your targeted stock to bond ratio. Also look to see if it makes sense to clean up your invest-ment accounts by reviewing all of your accounts as one “family allocation.” Does it make sense to own the same 10 funds in all 5 accounts?

Clean up your estate plans by ensuring the named guardians, benefi ciaries, executors, and trustees are still appropriate.

■ Clear out/throw away:Consider clearing out small

debts, especially small debts with high interest rates. This also cleans up your monthly cash fl ow.

Consider throwing out old credit cards that are no longer used and could be targets for

identity thieves. Send a certifi ed letter to the creditor, and then cut up the card after receiving confi rmation that the account was closed.

Shred old fi nancial records. Some records need to be held longer than others, but many can be thrown out after one year (see http://www.bankrate.com/fi nance/personal-fi nance/how-long-to-keep-fi nancial-records.aspx for a good list).

■ Organize for future use:

Create summaries of assets owned/debts owed, insurance policies held, and estate plans. Put together a list of agents to contact.

Tell a trusted person the location of your documents in-cluding a way to locate password protected online accounts.

There is a peace of mind that comes with spring cleaning our homes and our personal fi nances. It might not smell of sunshine and lemonade, but an annual review provides a clear fi nancial picture and hopefully allows you to fully enjoy your summer plans.

their son. Tumblin said it was situated to be visible from the upstairs dormer windows of the Kesterson home.

Dr. Kesterson was the fi rst licensed dentist to prac-tice in Knoxville. He and Frances enjoyed the town’s fi rst Cadillac, a bright red coupe.

Kim Powers Bridges is a fan. She bought a bright red and white electric car to give tours of the cem-etery. She’s visited with Dr. Tumblin and spent time at the Lawson-McGhee Li-brary to learn the history of the Kestersons and their cemetery.

Most important, she and husband Dennis view them-selves as caretakers of the Kestersons’ vision.

On Friday, May 22, they will celebrate the history of Greenwood Cemetery, 3500 Tazewell Pike. Guided golf

cart tours will be provided all weekend.

While much remains to be done, the Bridges family has made major improve-ments since buying the cem-etery last October.

Workers have cleared the area around the Kesterson family plot. Several monu-ments have been steam-washed. An old chain-link fence at the front of the property is gone and will be replaced by black rail fenc-ing. Seasonal fl owers have been added to the front gate, and the offi ce is being reno-vated.

Kim Bridges is especially eager to obtain pictures, family histories and memo-rabilia from the cemetery’s past.

With almost 25,000 peo-ple interred here, there has to be much history, she said. Sadly, previous owners dis-posed of much of that his-

tory. “We have all records here since 1900,” she said. “We have a burial card for every person.

“We waited (from Octo-ber until May) to announce the ownership change be-cause we wanted to ‘show’ rather than ‘tell’ what we will do,” she said.

Kim, an Oklahoma na-tive, and Dennis, who grew up in Karns, met while working for a large funeral home corporation. Kim said her orange suit caught his eye. Between them they have six kids, ranging in age from 12 to 36.

Dennis, a funeral home director, fulfi lled a lifelong dream when the couple opened Bridges Funeral Home in 2004. They also own cemeteries in three states, but Knoxville is home. “When I’m in town, I’m here,” Kim said of Greenwood.

New owners for Greenwood Cemetery

Friday, weekend tours set

By Sandra ClarkGreenwood Cemetery is

getting a facelift from its new owners, Dennis and Kim Bridges from Bridges Funeral Home.

The cemetery was opened 115 years ago by Dr. Reuben and Frances Kes-terson to memorialize their son, Robert Neil, who died at age 3.

Fountain City historian Dr. Jim Tumblin relates the story on his website. Robert was initially buried near Dr. Kesterson’s parents in Old Gray Cemetery. Frances and Reuben toured the country, inspecting cemeteries to build a fi tting memorial to their son. They found it at Green-Wood, a 478-acre rural cemetery in Brooklyn, N.Y.

The Kestersons bought 175 acres on Tazewell Pike and erected a 45-foot mar-ble obelisk to memorialize

What’s under the

at Weigel’sBy Sandra Clark

“It’s better to be lucky than smart.” That’s the word from Bill Weigel, the man who cites the corn dog as his chief contribution to the business that bears his name.

Weigel amused and in-spired at last week’s Powell Business and Professional Association meeting. And he reconnected with old friends in the community where Weigel’s was born.

Weigel’s is the story of an immigrant family who bought “farmland” in Wart-burg, moved to Forks of the River and fi nally settled on 600 acres in Powell. The Broadacres Farm is now the Broadacres subdivision, home to almost 900 fami-lies.

The Weigel’s story is one of caution, observation and steady growth. From veg-etable farming to four cows, to milk processing to home delivery to milk depots to walk-in convenience stores, the Weigel family changed with the times.

With the new century came a new logo, an em-phasis on coffee, creation of branded products like Skim D’Lite and egg nog, and most recently the addition of fresh bakery items.

Weigel’s now operates 63 stores in the region. And you’ve got to fi gure Billy Weigel had a bit more to do with that than just the corn dog.

Because of his own good works and dedication to Rotary projects, Appuhn was awarded the important Service Above Self award at the recent District 6780 Conference in Pigeon Forge.

By Anne HartRotarians are known in-

ternationally for their gen-erosity of both spirit and fi nances.

The two attributes have combined over many years to virtually eradicate po-lio globally, and to provide dictionaries for every third-grader in public schools lo-cally.

The good works done by Rotarians are innumerable, and Maryville-Alcoa Rotar-ian Ron Appuhn, who chairs the Heart2Heart program of District 6780, recently showed members of the Ro-tary Club of Bearden just how their donations grow exponentially when they are matched by grants from the Rotary Foundation.

Schools in the South Sudan that are led by honor-ary Bearden Ro-tary member Anita Henderlight are just one benefi ciary. Rotarians helped Henderlight start a school for girls and built a well that serves more than 1,000 people a day.

Appuhn said that over the past seven years, Rotary Foundation Global Grants to Mexico have provided for 44 kidney transplants and built enough water tanks to provide 91,000 children

By Bonny C. MillardTennessee ranks second

in the nation as the worst for cardiovascular disease, said a leading cardiovascu-lar researcher.

Dr. Malcolm Foster III spoke recently to the Rotary Club of Farragut, offering reasons for cardiovascular disease and what people can do to improve their heart health.

“We our friends, our fam-ily, our colleagues, we have an epidemic of cardiovascu-lar disease. There’s Missis-sippi, and then there’s us.”

Foster is the director of cardiovascular research at Turkey Creek Medical Cen-ter and is also the presi-dent of the East Tennessee Cardiovascular Research Foundation, a nonprofi t

dedicated to research and education.

Foster, who came to Knoxville in 2001, started the research program at former Baptist Hospital with one nurse. Now at Turkey Creek, it has fi ve re-search coordinators work-ing with multiple clini-cal trials, doctors and nurses, and more than 500 patients have participated. He also highlighted details about the cutting-edge research being conducted.

“We do more cardiovas-cular clinical trials than any other place in East Ten-nessee,” he said. “We do more clinical trials in car-diovascular research than Vanderbilt.”

Foster said the most

common form of heart dis-ease is atherosclerosis or plaque buildup in the ar-teries. Smoking and obe-sity are leading culprits to artery damage and plaque buildup. A blood pressure cuff is a noninvasive way to see how the blood fl ow re-

acts and measures how healthy the blood ves-

sels are.Nonsmokers are

at risk if they are exposed to second-

hand smoke. Children in smoker families have blood vessels that do not re-act in a healthy fashion, he said.

Plaque buildup can start early in life with a western diet of high-calorie, high-fatty foods and an inactive lifestyle, he said.

of cardiovascular research at

Turkey Creek Medical Center

Battling heart disease

“A lifetime of sedentary behavior and fatty meals has an impact on your blood vessels, and that along with a buildup of cholesterol leads to plaque buildup.”

By Sandra Clark Food City has always

got something going on. Last week it was a charity golf tournament and media gathering in Sevierville. Af-ter a great buffet lunch and an update by president/CEO Steven Smith, Food City sent us away with a neat gift bag of computer peripher-als and a box of fresh Scott’s strawberries.

What’s not to like?We saw John Jones, for-

mer Halls guy who moved to Abingdon, Va., when he was promoted. Emerson Breeden was there. He’s on his 61st year with the com-pany. John Edd Wampler of sausage fame gave the invocation. Drew Hembree, grandson of the founder, was introduced as interim director of marketing – a fresh, young face for Food City.

Jones presented a check for $235,000 to the Ju-venile Diabetes Research Foundation. The funds were collected from customers who purchased a “sneaker” at checkout March 28 to May 3.

Smith said over the past fi ve years Food City and its customers have contributed more than $900,000 to the organization.

And Juvenile Diabetes is just one of the company’s partners. There are School Bucks, which supports local schools, and Race for Hun-ger, which supports area food banks.

Smith talked about the growth of Sevier County. “We have fi ve stores here now and a sixth will start this year.” He said his dad, Jack Smith, began the gro-cery chain in 1955 with one Piggly Wiggly.

Food City has grown to annual sales of $2.3 billion, “and we’re No. 1 or No. 2

Mary Moreland, executive director of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation; Kassie Per-

kins, Miss Food City 2015; and John Jones, Food City’s executive vice president/director of store

operations.

Food City grows; supports JDRF

in every market where we serve,” Smith said.

Food City has introduced a new website and an en-

hanced ValuCard that can upload targeted coupons to customers. Next up is curbside grocery pickup

at selected stores. A new store is being built in Blaine (Grainger County), part of a $60 million capital invest-ment this year. And next year’s media lunch will bring more innovations.

I’m ready.

By Sherri Gardner HowellThere is a therapy ses-

sion going on every Thursday from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Cokesbury United Methodist Church North Campus. It’s “fi ber therapy,” and the will-ing participants are mem-bers of the Thursday Bee.

They are quilters. Each Thursday 10 to 12 women fi ll the rented room with laughter, conversation, show-and-tell, advice, shar-ing and stitching. “We all have our own style and way of doing things,” says mem-ber Patty Ashworth. “When we are together, we feed off each other’s creativity.”

The Thursday Bee wom-en are a fun group. “We don’t like rules,” says Ash-worth. “We all have differ-ent styles – hand quilting, machine, embroidery, tra-ditional, modern – you will fi nd a little bit of everything in this group.”

Some are lifelong quil-ters, master quilters and teachers. Others are newer to the art. Some sell quilts at high-end shops in places like Asheville, N.C., while others make quilts for char-ities and family members.

With the love of art and creative expression found in this group, guests should not expect to see a lot of “Sunbonnet Sue” quilts be-ing stitched – although Deb DiPietro admits it was that traditional design that got her into quilting. She found a Sunbonnet Sue quilt made by a family member and was intrigued. “I knew how to sew, so I just taught my-self to quilt,” says DiPietro. Tone Haugen-Cogburn, who is originally from Norway, learned to quilt after she came to the U.S. and holds a master quilter certifi cation. “Quilting is really a big deal in Europe right now,” says Haugen-Cogburn.

A little needlework, a little conversation is the formula for quilters at the Thursday Bee. From left are Patty Ash-worth and Deb DiPietro.

Painting drew Sheila Rauen into quilting. “Kind of an odd route,” she says with a smile. “But I love to sew, and I do paintings on silk. This led me to look for something to do with the silk paintings. So I do a lot

of appliques, mixed me-dia and embroidery on the quilts I make.”

Ashworth says she is “semiretired,” meaning she isn’t taking on as many com-missioned pieces as she has in the past. “I actually kept

a record of all my quilts,” says Ashworth. “As of today, I have made 935 quilts.” She still sells at galleries, makes quilts for charity functions and participates in the events associated with the Smoky Mountain Quilters, a regional group that all the Thursday Bee quilters have in common.

The Thursday Bee quil-ters are getting ready for

Q: On Friday, Con-cord families will come out to welcome the two newest additions to our CCS Staff. Can you explain the impor-tance of adding Mark Hage-man and Roger Jones and what their roles will be?

A: We are very blessed to add Mark Hageman to our administrative team as high school principal. All the way from Tyler, Texas, Mark brings a great abil-ity to problem-solve and create processes that will be invaluable to our grow-ing high school. He is also an extremely personable man who will develop close relationships to shepherd and disciple teachers and students alike. After a na-tionwide search in 17 states we de� nitely found the man that God wanted for this po-sition.

To add a man of Roger Jones’ caliber and resume is a blessing to our school that is hard to de� ne. His background and experience in education, nonpro� t lead-ership, and fundraising will

Where has the time gone? The 2014 -2015 school year has been awesome and the kindergarten teachers and families celebrated the students’ accomplishments with a very special kindergarten graduation. These members of the class of 2027 are now of� cially � rst graders!

graduation!

Roger and Yhona Jones moved to Farragut to be closer to their daughter, Julia Jones Barham and to become grand-parents. Roger’s 40 years in what he describes the people- helping business has given him the perfect background to step into a new role for First Baptist Concord. Roger describes his position as one that will de-velop opportunities to support the ministries of FBC including Concord Christian School.

Shortly after arriving in Far-ragut from Greenville, Roger and Yhona attended a Sunday service at First Baptist Con-

cord. The wonderful feeling of being home cause them both to dive in to classes, disciple-ship groups and Men’s

and Women’s Bible studies. Concord head Ruston Pierce told CCS families “Mr. Jones comes to CCS with an incred-ible resume and background in education, politics, and non-pro� t leadership. He has been the president of a company, a high school principal, and a mayor. His excellent leader-ship skills and ability to build relationships will be invaluable as we embark on a 3-5 year strategic plan.”

Roger Jones new Director of Development & Strategic Planning

CCS guidance counselor Tamara Dallery shared, “I am excited for the class of 2015 as they begin their next journey. There are great adven-tures ahead for these students and sweet memories

from their time at CCS. Philippians 1:3–6 comes to mind – for each of these students we know that “He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”

be invaluable as director of development and strategic planning. Roger will help steer a strategic 3-5 year plan that will advance us into the next phase of our school. Aside from helping raise the necessary funds to advance our high school, an invaluable part of his position will be professional development and teacher mentoring.

Our administrative team has grown not only in size but also in abil-ity. These two men bring leadership, discipleship, experience, wisdom and relationships, and they will help take us to another level as a school. We are all very excited to welcome Mark Hageman and Roger Jones to Concord Christian School.

Concord Christian School continues to grow. With the ad-dition of over 160 new students for the 2015 – 2016 school year, new staff roles in the school’s administration are vital. In announcing Mark Hageman as the new high school principal, CCS head Ruston Pierce shared, “Mark has a long background in every part of a school from teacher to department head to administrator, and we look forward to the new ideas and love for families he will bring to our school.”

When asked what about Concord attracted them, Mr. H. shared that they looked at the

school as parents with 3 chil-dren who have a wide variety of interests and needs. “We loved the real sense of family which is connected with faith that we experienced at CCS. Everyone wants to be here.” The Hage-man family will have a student at each level of school, elemen-tary, middle and high. The boys are eager to arrive and will start plugging in with CCS students in summer band and football camp as well as summer sports camps at Concord.

Mr. H stated, “I am excited to invest in the lives of students here and help equip them to make a difference for Christ.”

Rick Lassiter, Parkwest CAO, with the 2015 Leanne Baker Pro-fessional Nurse Award winners. Carol Burton (left) was recog-nized for Clinical Practice, while Donna Stephens (right) ac-cepted the award for Clinical Leadership.

Dr. Jesse Doers (far left) and Amanda Underwood, Critical Care manager (far right), presented the Janet Heff ern Awards to CCU nurses Sarah Rowe (left) and Geri Rader (right). Rader was given the New Graduate award, while Rowe earned the Clinical Coach award.

Katie Wilson was presented with the Susan Foster Profes-sional Development Award.

More than just a sloganNursing Excellence honored during National Nurses Week

On May 7, Parkwest held its Nurs-es Week reception to recognize nurs-es who go above and beyond in their mission to provide excellent care to each patient. This annual celebration is held in honor of National Nurses Week, an observation supported by the American Nurses Association to coincide with the birthday of Flor-ence Nightingale, the founder of modern nursing. This year, National Nurses Week was May 6-12.

Donna Stephens, RN, Parkwest Comprehensive Breast Center, and Carol Burton, 4 Riverstone, were named winners of the 2015 Leanne Baker Professional Nurse Award, the most prestigious honor given to nurses of Parkwest and Peninsula Hospital. The award has two distinc-tions, one for Clinical Leadership and one for Clinical Practice.

“Leanne Baker epitomized what a professional nurse looked like,” said Lynn Cagle, Chief Nursing Offi cer at Parkwest, speaking of the award’s namesake. “Her compassion for the patient, professional demeanor and steady leadership truly set the stan-dard to which we hold all our nurses. That’s why it was such an honor to recognize these two deserving indi-viduals who embody the spirit of this award.”

Burton, who has worked at Park-west since 2008, was recognized for Clinical Practice. She was nominated by Christine Haynes, nurse manager of 4 Riverstone, who wrote, “Return-ing chemotherapy patients remem-ber Carol’s kindness and compassion and ask for her. She establishes an excellent rapport with these patients during a stressful time in their lives. Carol consistently puts the patients’ needs as a priority and not her own. She keeps everyone positive during stressful times.”

Volunteer Appreciation WeekParkwest volunteers contributed more than 40,000 total hours in 2014. That translates to a whopping $834,912 value of hours volunteered! Each year, Parkwest recognizes its volunteers’ selfl ess dedication to serving visitors and patients at the Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon. If you or someone you know is interested in becoming a Parkwest Volunteer, contact Becky Boyd, Volunteer Services manager, at 373-1556.

Stephens, who holds a BSN, works as a patient navigator in the Park-west Comprehensive Breast Cen-ter. She was nominated by Amanda Squires, MD, Parkwest radiologist. Dr. Squires wrote in her nomination form, “Patients recognize Donna’s sincere interest in their well being early on and greatly value her knowl-edge. Her passion for her patients comes through very clearly. It is her drive to provide the best possible treatment and patient care that eas-ily wins her the respect of peers and physicians, as well as patients and their families.”

The May 7 awards reception in Parkwest’s Boulevard Bistro not only recognized Baker Award recipients, but also excellence throughout the nursing staff of Parkwest and Pen-insula.

Dr. Jesse Doers of Stat Care Medi-cal Group joined Amanda Under-wood, Parkwest’s Critical Care nurse manager, to present the Janet Hef-

fern Critical Care Scholarships. Es-tablished in 2011 by Stat Care Medi-cal Group in honor of the long-time Parkwest Critical Care nurse who passed away with cancer, the award annually recognizes new graduates and clinical coaches.

“(Janet) had a motto: that she was a ‘life-long learner,’ ” said Under-wood. “That is so important in our Critical Care environment. You have to have someone who wants to teach and is always willing to learn.”

This year, the Janet Heffern New Graduate award was presented to Geri Rader and the Clinical Coach award went to Sarah Rowe.

The Susan Foster Professional De-velopment Award honors Sue Foster, a dedicated and respected registered nurse who served her profession in a variety of areas at Parkwest for more than 20 years. In recognition of her professionalism, clinical ability, mentoring and excellent customer service, the award is specifi cally de-

their peers to further cultivate bestpractices.

The winners of this year’s Clini-cal Excellence Awards are: MiriamSander, 5 Riverstone; Kaela Harri-son, 4 Riverstone; Ashley Hill, CTSU;Kelly Sharp, CSU; Stephanie Heben-streit, 4 Montvue; Amanda Makely,3 Montvue; Nicole Lane, 2 Mont-vue; Leigha Kirby, Childbirth Cen-ter; Nichole Walker, Critical Care;Mark Douglass, Emergency; LaurieNichols, Senior Behavioral Health;Ron Maulick, Surgery; Sally Skoda,Endoscopy; Gail Wilson, PACU;Wanda Green, ASU; Michelle Charl-ton, PreTesting; Daniel Dominique,Imaging; Tammy Knight, Cath Lab;Stephanie Moore, Float Pool; Melis-sa Theyken, Enterostomal Therapy;Michelle McLean, Case Manage-ment; and Rhonda Sutherland-Gay,Shelly Dillon, Megan Woods andEmily Ambrose from BehavioralHealth Track 1 and 2.

“I’m absolutely honored to workalongside this amazing group ofnurses every day,” said Cagle. “Ittakes dedication and a lot of patienceto do this job, yet they do it day in andday out because they believe in pro-viding the best care for our patients.We will never be able to thank ournurses enough, but we hope that thisrecognition ceremony is rewardingand lets them know that we appre-ciate all they do for our community,our hospital, our physicians and,most importantly, our patients.”

signed to honor someone in pursuit of a nursing degree.

This year’s Susan Foster Award winner was Katie Wilson of 5 River-stone.

In 2000, Parkwest’s medical staff established a Clinical Excel-lence Award Scholarship to provide fi nancial assistance for one nurse from each unit during National Nurses Week to use for educational funding. Since its inception, this award has been given to more than 300 nurses who have been able to attend national conferences in their specialty area. They then share their acquired knowledge with

Not all Clinical Excellence win-ners were in attendance, but those who were included, from left to right, from front: Stepha-nie Hebenstreit, 4M; Melissa Theyken, Enterostomal Therapy; Sally Skoda, Endoscopy; Laurie Nichols, Senior Behavioral Health; Kelly Sharp, CSU; Nichole Walker, CCU; Amanda Makely, 3M; Gail Wilson, PACU; Michelle McLean, Case Management; Tammy Knight, Cath Lab; Wanda Green, ASU; Stephanie Moore, Float Pool; Daniel Dominique, Imaging; Michelle Charlton, PreTesting; and Ron Maulick, Surgery.

Wayne Heatherly 10-Foot AwardThis honor is given annually to one employee who daily demonstrates the Standards and Be-haviors of Parkwest Medical Center. The award commemorates a hallmark of former ParkwestCAO Wayne Heatherly’s administration in that no employee should be within 10 feet of anotheremployee, patient, visitor or volunteer without acknowledging this person in a pleasant manner.This year, the recognition went to Joel Carbajal, a staff member in the Post-Anesthesia Care Unit.
