SUMMER SALE!Preserve those old

By Betsy PickleYoung people aren’t noted for

being early risers during summer vacation. But don’t tell that to the dozens who ditched their beds in or-der to go to school – Farragut High School – and line up for the Farra-gut Independence Day Parade.

Representatives from the Karns Fairest of the Fair organization were decking their fl oat with tinsel garland and balloons just after 7

a.m. last Friday. True, many looked as if they were still half asleep, but the parents (coffee cups in hand) working with the kids were ener-getically urging them on.

This was the fi rst year for the Karns pageant group to partici-pate. Executive director Kelley Grabill said they wanted to let peo-ple know that the Karns pageant is open to residents of state House District 89, and the parade was a

good place to get the word out.“There are 2,000 to 3,000 peo-

ple who line the street,” said Grabill. “For that many people to come out and watch a parade is incredible.”

Sue Stuhl, the town of Farra-gut’s Parks and Leisure Services director, had a smile on her face as she directed parade participants to their positions.

By Betty BeanFormer Brickey-McCloud Ele-

mentary School assistant principal Sheila Earl was moved to tell her story at last Wednesday’s school board meeting after hearing board members at the Monday workshop talk about clamping down on teach-ers who bypass the KCS “chain of command” by going public with complaints about the administra-tion. Earl is fearful of retaliation but promised her daughter she’d be brave because many colleagues have received the same treatment

she has and don’t know why.The last year she was an assis-

tant principal, she was evaluated by Knox County Schools’ elementa-ry schools director Nancy Maland, who gave her the highest possible rating – a level 5 score. This result was typical for Earl, a 23-year KCS employee, so she had reason to be excited when she got a phone call from the KCS human resources de-partment July 19, 2012.

“I naively believed that my time had fi nally come and I was going in to interview for a principalship,”

she said. “After all, I had spent nine years as a successful assis-tant principal after 14 years as an award-winning teacher. I had even completed the D-21 program with excellent results as well.”

When she went to the meet-ing with Maland and HR director Kathy Simms, she was stunned to hear that Superintendent James McIntyre had decided to return her to the classroom, a change that carried a 25 percent pay reduction.

“When I asked for the reason why, I was reminded that adminis-

trators serve at the pleasure of the superintendent. (Nancy) Maland acted as a scribe, but she remained silent. (Superintendent) McIntyre was conveniently out of town.”

Maland retired at year’s end.Earl, a single mother, was given

very little time to clear out her of-fi ce, prepare to teach third grade and readjust her family budget to the pay cut. Her former principal said she had no idea why Earl was demoted. Her new principal sug-

Coffee Break

It can be your neighbor, club leader, bridge partner, boss, teacher – anyone you think would be interesting to Shopper News readers. Email suggestions to Betsy Pickle, betsypickle@yahoo.com. Include contact information if you can.

Manuela Ptacek likes variety.One of her favorite jobs was working for a temporary

agency, which gave her fl exibility and the relief of know-ing that any unpleasant assignment would be short-lived.

Born in Southern California, the Navy brat grew up all over the world: Italy, Spain, Minnesota, Florida, Rhode Island, California and Washington, D.C. In her nearly 33 years of marriage to John Ptacek, she has lived in Califor-nia, Alaska, Japan and New Mexico.

She doesn’t want to budge from Farragut, where she has lived since 2001. “I love the house we’re in; it’s kind of out in the country.”

She homeschooled her two daughters and two sons, who now range in age from 28 to 18. She says she’s “an instructor at heart.”

In February, Ptacek was elected president of the Knox County Republican Women chapter, which formed in March 2013 and meets at 6 p.m. the second Thursday of each month at Chick-Fil-A in Bearden. (Tomorrow’s guests will be Stacey Campfi eld and Richard Briggs.)

The Republican Women is just one of the activities vying for Ptacek’s time. She raises chickens, meets each Wednesday with the Aphrodite Shooters Club at the T.A.C. Range, teaches personal safety and health and wellness classes and is an independent consultant for Ar-bonne. She also assists with the youth group at St. John Neumann Catholic Church and is active at St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic Church, where she is registered.

The family pet, Neo, a therapy dog with Human-An-imal Bond in Tennessee, passed away not long ago, and she’s hoping their new dog, Gigi, will soon be mature enough to become a HABIT dog.

“There is a part of me that doesn’t think I’ve been given enough hours in the day for all the things I want to do,” she says.

Sit back and have a Coffee Break as you get to know Manuela Ptacek.

What is your favorite quote from TV or a movie?So many to choose from … I guess it is from the movie/

book “The Help” (by Kathryn Stockett): “You is kind. You is smart. You is important.”

What are you guilty of? Scheduling too much! I get it all done though it can be

the most stressful on my husband!

What is your favorite material possession?My mother’s pearls. My father brought them back from

Japan around 1950. Our daughter Erin wore them on her wedding day last year, and it was such a special moment to be able to put them on her.

What are you reading currently?Rita Davenport’s book “Funny Side Up.” She was an

amazing and uplifting president of Arbonne Internation-al. She has such a great sense of humor; she’s a Tennessee girl who overcame so much in her life and loves to laugh.

What was your most embarrassing moment?John and I always try to have a date night, and while

we were stationed in Adak, Alaska, we had very few plac-es to eat out. One evening it was just McDonald’s, with our then-potty-training 2-year-old (fi rstborn). John was the third senior offi cer on that very small island base. Toward the end of our short dinner there was a trickle sound and then splashes, coming from the high chair! Our sweet Tara had let loose her bladder with no warn-ing. Of course, the place was packed! It was over-the-top embarrassing for us new parents, though all the sailors thought it was pretty funny!

What are the top three things on your bucket list? Return to Spain and Italy to see the places I lived as

a Navy brat. Swim with the sharks (in a cage of course). Square dance at an international convention with my husband.

What is one word others often use to describe you and why?

Strong. I’ve had many challenges in my life to show me how to be strong and confi dent in who I am.

If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?

The scars of past mistakes. I try to encourage my kids and the teens in our youth group to look ahead, to understand that what seems OK now, may not be so when they are older.

What is your passion?Teaching health and wellness as well as personal se-

curity. These are two things most people want to learn about … only when “trouble comes knocking.”

With whom, living or dead, would you most like to have a long lunch?

My mom, who died when I was 23. I would love to hear her thoughts on how my life has gone, and I believe she would be proud of me.

Other than your parents, who has had the biggest infl u-ence on your life and why?

First would be Rex, who was an adopted big brother. He helped me through some really hard teen years and to understand that my mother’s alcoholism was not my fault. He modeled the kind of husband I should look for. A very close second would be my cousin Gerri (20 years older than I). She was the one who showed me how I could be a strong woman, to be proud of myself.

I still can’t quite get the hang of …My son’s video games! Being a Type A, I have very little

patience with sitting long enough to learn.

What is the best present you ever received in a box?My engagement ring! We will be married 33 years in

August.

What is the best advice your mother ever gave you?“Consider the source and trust your instincts.”

What is your social media of choice?Facebook, with LinkedIn as close second. Both have

an important benefi t, one for personal and the other for business.

What is the worst job you have ever had?Though it was fun… Scooping 31 Ice Cream (Baskin-

Robbins) on a Navy base as a teen. The sailors kept us hopping, and, boy, they could eat a ton after a deployment. Working with it every day, I began to hate ice cream, and even today I am not a big fan.

What was your favorite Saturday morning cartoon and why?

Road Runner! He was fast! And I don’t run well.

What irritates you? People’s lack of phone manners and rudeness with said

phone. Some people will stay yapping on the phone while being checked out at the store. They give hand signals to the clerk like they were some slave. It is soooo rude.

What’s one place in Farragut everyone should visit?Two favorites: Cranberry Hollow and Lighthouse Cof-

fee. I can’t pick just one.

What is your greatest fear?Snakes … not even funny about that one. One of my

brothers terrorized me with a snake many times. I can’t even see a drawing of them.

If you could do one impulsive thing, what would it be?Wow, it might be to go skydive! Norman Vincent Peale

said, “Live your life and forget your age.”

Earl speaks out From page A-1

gested that perhaps this was a test to see how gracefully she handled diffi cult situ-ations and speculated that she might get a promotion the next year.

“That, of course, did not happen,” Earl said.

There was a bit of a sil-ver lining, she thought. Un-der state guidelines, Earl’s evaluation score qualifi ed her for an APEX bonus, so she had reason to expect some fi nancial help that fall. But when she checked the APEX website in Novem-ber, the words next to her name were “Employee no longer in good standing.” She attempted to fi nd why she had been labeled a loser, but multiple phone calls and emails got no response un-til her sister (acting without Earl’s knowledge) contacted the county ethics board.

Finally, in April 2013, she heard from KCS director of Human Capital Strategy Na-kia Towns, who informed her that being reclassifi ed as a classroom teacher after hav-ing been an administrator automatically made her ineli-gible for the bonus.

Earl, who said she has been shocked at the level of micromanagement that classroom teachers have to endure nowadays, was re-

quired to submit her emails to board chair Lynne Fugate in order to be allowed to speak at the meeting.

Many of the teachers who have been speaking out in recent months were pres-ent, although they were harder to pick out in the crowd because most were not wearing their famil-iar red SPEAK (Students, Parents, Educators Across Knox County) T-shirts.

Members of a newly formed group, Educators for Excellence, identifi able in bright blue T-shirts em-blazoned with “I (Heart) My Job,” were there as well. Several members of this group are teachers from Dogwood Elemen-tary School, and many are relatively young. Members of this group spoke at last week’s meetings, hammer-ing the point that teachers really don’t have much to complain about. It is un-clear what kinds of public forum rules apply to their relentlessly positive mes-sages. Perhaps “chain of command” restrictions ap-ply only to those who are critical of the administra-tion.

One leader who did not wish to be quoted by name said several SPEAK mem-

bers decided not to wear their red shirts to the meet-ing so as not to set up a “Crips versus Bloods” atmo-sphere, since most teachers want the same thing – what’s best for the students.

Meanwhile, it has not escaped Earl’s notice that experienced administra-tors are being moved aside to make room for gradu-ates of the KCS Leadership Academy, which cranks out a dozen or so “fellows” an-nually.

Here’s what she said when asked what she’d like to say to this new generation of educators:

“When I was a young, na-ive teacher, I loved my job. Now that I have gained more experience and wisdom, I continue to love teaching children. However, I now recognize that not all deci-sions made on a district level are appropriate for students on the classroom level or for my own child. Speaking up for what we believe is in the best interest of children is af-fi rmation of the fact that we love teaching the students of Knox County Schools.”

She signs her emails with a signature quote from Pat Summitt:

“It is what it is, but it will become what I make of it.”

at Pond Gap Elementary School. Professor Bob Kro-nick, who spearheaded both programs, received fund-ing for Inskip’s three-day-a week summer program from donors in Raleigh, N.C. Through “creative fi -nancing,” he plans to con-tinue an after-school pro-gram through the fall.

He hopes to fi nd donors who will enable the program to continue year-round. In-skip’s summer program al-lows kids, who range from rising fi rst-graders through middle school students, to have tutoring in math and English, along with art and a popular circus class. They are hungry for new experiences like the art class, he says.

“They lap it up like a dog that’s gone without water for 30 days.”

Inskip, like Pond Gap, has a large percentage of poor students. Elizabeth Noe, who teaches sculpture at Inskip, says the students are “ener-getic, happy and wonderful.”

Young students work in a wide variety of mediums, like painting, drawing and printmaking, during the summer program. Last week, they rode a bus to UT for an art show featuring their favorite projects.

Cleopatra Richart, a ris-ing sixth-grader, described her watercolor work, which was adorned with original Haiku poetry.

“I’m a huge fan of color,” she said as she explained a painting titled “Rainbow Girl.” Her mentor, Karrah Bennett, taught her about warm and cool colors.

Bennett said she noticed that Richart wrote in her sketch book, and she encour-aged her to use poetry in her art. Reading about artists provided reading practice.

Art enhanced learning for other students, too. Ris-ing fi fth-graders Braxton Upton and Aaniyah John-

son focused on photography and learned to edit their work on a computer. Ris-ing second-grader Sumiyah Crawford learned about symmetry by working on a quilt-inspired collage.

In addition to the Uni-versity-Assisted Commu-nity Schools, Knox County Schools and the Great Schools Partnership pro-vide seven other community schools, including a program that will begin this fall at South Knoxville Elementary. Community schools provide after-school education and enrichment for students as well as adult education and other services for families.

year.“Participating in the

parade links us to the Far-ragut community so much more than just being at the church,” said McElmurray.

It was the fourth time for assistant senior patrol lead-er Spencer Flint to march with his fellow scouts.

“It’s really nice to be in the parade yourself,” said Spencer, a rising sophomore at FHS. “The crowd sees you and then they all start cheering. We hand out can-dy, so everyone gets really happy for that, too.”

The Farragut Dance Team participates regularly in the parade. Georgia Gross, a ris-ing junior, said her favorite part was getting to interact with children along the route.

“We give them beads every year,” she said. “Sometimes they want to get pictures with us. It’s fun to see how they look up to us and remember how I looked up to people who were in the parade.”

lineup, perhaps the most pa-triotic ones were veterans. It was the parade debut for the Women Veterans of America, Chapter 44, which meets at 10 a.m. the third Saturday of each month at Ben Atch-ley Tennessee State Veter-ans’ Home. They previously marched as Women Veterans of the East Tennessee Valley, but they became a chartered group after the 2013 parade.

They were rolling along in conjunction with the Women Marines Association.

Jessica King, command-er of the WVA chapter and a member of the WMA, had been in the parade the past four years and was excited to be back.

“Farragut is so patriotic, and they really put forth an effort,” she said. “Everyone comes out for it.”

For most of his tenure as schools superintendent, James McIntyre has had the school board as his per-sonal Alice’s Restaurant. He can get anything he wants, generally by an 8-1 vote:

An employment contract extended to 2017?

Of course! Whiney-butt teachers can go clap eras-ers.

A fi ve-year strategic plan railroaded through by Au-gust?

Sure! Why allow four (or fi ve) new board members to come in and set policy later when a bunch of lame ducks can do it right now?

Want to overturn the recommendation of an im-partial hearing offi cer who overruled your decision to fi re a teacher?

Oops.Last week, the school

board sided with hearing offi cer H. Scott Reams, who had overruled the fi ring of Gibbs High School math-ematics teacher Richard S. Suttle. The board shocked most onlookers by voting

McIntyre mojo melting away

7-0 to turn down McIntyre’s appeal of Reams’ ruling.

McIntyre recommend-ed Suttle for termination just before the start of last school year, citing exces-sive absenteeism, tardiness, inappropriate language, failing to properly “input” grades and wearing white after Labor Day.

Just kidding about the fashion felony, but seriously, he threw the kitchen sink at the guy, characterizing his offenses as ineffi ciency, unprofessional conduct, in-subordination and neglect of duty in a letter dated Aug. 27, 3013 (McIntyre prides himself on being a forward-thinking leader). The school board rubber-stamped the fi ring, and Suttle exercised his option to have a hearing before “an impartial hear-ing offi cer” whose decision

could be appealed back to the school board. At that point he was entitled to be represented by the TEA lawyer Virginia McCoy, a fi erce advocate who is worth the price of union dues.

Teachers don’t usu-ally win these hearings, but Reams came down hard against Knox County Schools, ruling that Sut-tle’s transgressions rated a suspension, but not fi ring. He noted that Suttle had a knack for teaching math to kids who don’t understand it, and that he had satisfac-torily completed an Inten-sive Assistance Program. He also questioned the mo-tives of Suttle’s supervisors:

“Why any administrator at a school with such dismal results in math would take a math teacher with an af-fi nity for low-performing students and assign him to teach PE defi es logical ex-planation.

“Mr. (Lynn) Hill’s expla-nation that he thought it would do Mr. Suttle good to get out and exercise is total-

ly unconvincing.”Several teachers in the

audience snickered when they heard that Suttle’s in-appropriate language was calling a misbehaving stu-dent “Billy Badass.”

Board member Doug Harris moved to affi rm Reams’ decision. Pam Trainor and Gloria Death-ridge agreed. Indya Kincan-non asked if they couldn’t at least revoke Suttle’s ten-ure. The answer was no, to her visible disappointment, prompting one observer to wonder aloud if she was go-ing to poke him with a stick.

(Revoking Suttle’s ten-ure would have the effect of making him a sitting duck for dismissal at the whim of the administration.)

McIntyre’s board major-ity is melting like the Wick-ed Witch of the West under a bucket of ice water, and neither his contract nor his long-range plan nor the Au-gust election will save him. He’s done.

Alice isn’t cooking here anymore.

Next month some of you will go to the polls to select a candidate for state Senate District 7 in the November general election.

It’s an important contest, not merely for the chance to send Stacey Campfi eld packing. Campfi eld faces Richard Briggs and Mike Alford in the Republican primary. Democrats offer Cheri Siler, running unop-posed.

If Alford were anony-mous, we’d call him a stalk-ing horse. Given his past association with Campfi eld, there’s little doubt he’s there to siphon off votes from Briggs.

Campfi eld is a satirist’s

LarryVan

Guilder

A healthy alternative to peas in a pod

dream, an embarrassment to most everyone but Camp-fi eld.

As a Knox County Com-missioner, Briggs is re-membered by many for his “reasonable man” argument that let former Knox County Mayor Mike Ragsdale dodg-ing repaying thousands of dollars in undocumented travel and entertainment expenses.

There’s more to Briggs, of course. He’s a respected surgeon and a U.S. Army combat veteran with the rank of colonel.

If you were sending a surgeon or soldier to Nash-ville, Briggs would be the clear choice. If voters want a clown, it’s Campfi eld in a landslide.

With Democrats scarcer than tour groups bound for Ukraine in East Tennessee, the winner of the Republi-can primary is the presump-tive victor in November. But if you ignore Siler, what will you get for your money in November?

Whether Campfi eld or Briggs, arguably more of the

same. Bottom line, Briggs and Campfi eld are bobble-heads nodding to the same tired refrain.

■ Conservative values (whatever those are these days)? Check.

■ Oppose all tax increas-es? Check.

■ Support your Second Amendment right to be a one-person army? Check.

■ Limit the role of gov-ernment? Check.

Then there is the stan-dard boilerplate support of small business, jobs and education, although Camp-fi eld’s hypocrisy fl ares on the issue of government in the classroom.

Siler likewise pledges

support for small business and education, but what candidate doesn’t? So where do her “issues” part com-pany with the Republican contenders?

Most notably, healthcare.Campfi eld’s comparison

of individuals who signed up for health insurance under Obamacare to Nazi Holocaust victims says all you need to know about his stance on expanding healthcare.

The Briggs campaign’s website doesn’t bother with healthcare as an issue. Pan-dering to the base, a physi-cian upholds the right to bear instruments responsi-ble for thousands of deaths and injuries every year but is silent on healthcare.

That, folks, is irony, and it’s morally indefensible.

Siler’s campaign litera-ture notes that “no parent should have to choose be-tween putting food on the table and taking a child to the doctor.” That’s more than a platitude, it’s a fact of life for thousands of Ten-nessee families.

Campfi eld pulled a sur-prise last time around, and it’s not inconceivable that he could do it again. But soldier and surgeon Briggs has to be considered the favorite.

While Siler’s supporters would welcome a Campfi eld upset, Briggs is not invin-cible.

Estimates of the unin-sured in Tennessee run as high as 866,000. Isn’t it time caring for those indi-viduals became a “family value?” At least Cheri Siler thinks so.

Dorothy Conley

In 1968, I fi rst voted in Tennessee. The election was a state primary and a county general. At the sign-in table, I was surprised when the woman in front of me was asked which primary ballot she wanted.

I had lived and voted in several other states, but the notion of choosing between parties in a primary was new to me. The woman said she wanted to vote in both primaries, and despite the offi cial’s attempt to explain the rules, she was indig-nant. It was obvious that she did not understand the difference between a pri-mary and a general election.

Later, when I learned more about Tennessee poli-

tics, I was surprised at the toleration of open prima-ries.

Since primaries are nom-inating contests, to me it stands to reason that only members of a political party should have a vote on who will be their standard bear-er in a general election.

Otherwise, it is the same as allowing Gator fans to help choose the Vols’ quar-terback when we play Flori-

da. It makes no sense.Studies have shown that

the best-informed voters are those who strongly iden-tify with a party, and the most ill informed are those who do not.

From time to time, dis-cussions arise about wheth-er or not a candidate is a “bona fi de” member of one of our two major parties. In Tennessee, there are no “bona fi de” members of ei-ther one. Voting patterns do not establish membership in a party; only registration can do that.

A closed primary system requires registration by party, which requires some knowledge of a party’s po-litical philosophy. When independents learn that they cannot vote in a party’s primary unless they are members of that party, it

strengthens the two-party system, which, despite re-cent rancid partisanship, has on the whole provided stability to our government.

The best description of an independent voter that I’ve ever read came from Tom Danehy, writing for the Tucson Weekly. To para-phrase him – a high school girl shows up at the softball batting practice of a school in her neighborhood. She doesn’t go to the school, doesn’t like the uniforms or the coach, and doesn’t really want to be part of a team. When she’s not allowed to have her way, she cries, “I’ve been disenfranchised!”

As far as I’m concerned, there’s nothing wrong with third parties, but I believe that in order to succeed they must be based on movements that can attract

very wide support. Other-wise, they often serve only as spoilers, as in Florida’s 2000 election, when the Green Party’s Ralph Nader received about 90,000 votes that otherwise would likely have gone to Al Gore. Just think about it.

When I went to vote in 2006 in another section of the county, I had a similar experience to the one in 1968 when I stood behind a young man who requested both party’s ballots. He ac-cepted the offi cial’s expla-nation politely but seemed confused by it. Perhaps learning some basics about politics and elections would prevent this confusion. Many complain about gov-ernment and politics; in-stead, maybe we all should pay more attention and learn about how the system

is supposed to work.Unfortunately, open pri-

maries are not the main problem with our elections. There are more serious ones: obscene amounts of money funding intermina-ble campaigns; meaningless “debates” and political ad-vertising that insults our in-telligence. (Strangely, both alcohol and tobacco ads are not allowed on television, but we see misleading polit-ical advertisements poison our TV screens as elections approach. Sad.)

Let’s hope that someday, more of us will understand that citizenship has respon-sibilities as well as benefi ts. Perhaps then we may com-plain less and learn more about our government. Af-ter all, in this country, we the people are the govern-ment, aren’t we?

Find us, we’re worth itFormer Knox County Com-

missioner Wanda Moody al-ways asks the tough question. Don’t believe me? Ask former Sheriff Tim Hutchison.

“Hi, Wanda,” I said, sitting down at her table at the BBQ lunch preceding Sen. Lamar Alexander’s recent rally at Ce-dar Bluff.

“Why did you switch (the publication date) to Wednes-days?” she asked.

“Money,” I answered, cit-ing a couple of grocery stores that now insert preprints into the Shopper-News.

“Who sold that deal?” she quickly retorted.

“Uh, Patrick Birmingham, I guess,” I mumbled.

“Do you really have much to do with the Shopper these days?” she said.

Sigh. I’m working harder than

ever before. We’ve got eight zoned editions of Shopper-News with specifi c commu-nity coverage in each. We’re serving areas that I’ve always wanted to cover. Now to make the time to do it well!

To cap it off, with our switch to Wednesdays, the Shopper is buried behind several grocery ads inside the News Sentinel’s Food section for delivery to KNS subscrib-ers.

Non-subscribers fi nd us easily as the wrapper for pre-prints. Subscribers must look inside the Wednesday food section. No-brainer.

When I asked Tennes-see fans about Neyland Stadium experiences, Nate Harrison surprised me with specifi c comments.

In last week’s Shopper, Harrison offered what he hoped was constructive crit-icism about miscommunica-tions, fi rst-aid delays, gate rules set in concrete and two fans who blocked his view and wouldn’t sit down.

As promised, I asked Chris Fuller, UT senior asso-ciate athletics director for all external operations, includ-ing communications, sales and marketing, tickets and special events, for a response.

Chris is a busy man, but he responded, saying, fi rst of all, it was unusual to re-

UT response to stadium issues

ceive word of specifi c prob-lems described by identifi -able sources.

“Sounds like several things here, starting with the mailing address, that we could have done better.”

He spoke of good judg-ment and common sense but also praised the various support groups who are part of a home football game – including different levels of police, ushers and Red

Cross workers.“We work cooperatively,

but it’s easy to understand how not all are on the same page with all issues, espe-cially when you’re dealing with 100,000 people.”

Concerning my favorite hot-button issue, Fuller said there is no policy regarding “standing fans.”

If there was one, he said it would be very diffi cult to enforce.

Fuller invited David El-liott, assistant athletics director for event manage-ment, to chime in.

“Chris is correct. We do not have a policy on ‘stand-ing,’ and I do not know of any place in college or professional athletics that

does. We do ask our ushers to work with a customer-friendly attitude – which it seems they tried to do in talking with the patrons who were standing. We ask that fans try to respect oth-ers in their areas. But, as Chris mentioned, it would be an impossible task to try to enforce.”

Elliott said he has re-ceived very f ew complaints about fans standing in seat-ing areas. He does deal with people who become abusive. He says they are removed so others around them can en-joy the game.

Harrison wanted to es-cort his ailing mother-in-law to their car and return to the stadium. The gate at-

tendant said no way; if you go out, you are out.

Elliott says the SEC has a “no pass-out policy.”

Just guessing, but that is probably intended to elimi-nate halftime trips to cars for liquid refreshments.

Elliott said that in cir-cumstances such as Har-rison reported, gate su-pervisors are expected to intervene as best they can and make a judgment call.

“Sadly, people try to abuse this situation. How-ever there are times when common sense should dic-tate response.”

Elliott said fi rst-aid de-lays are sometimes un-avoidable.

“Our event staff does an excellent job in managing 100,000-plus crowds, but with a number like that, in-cidents happen that do not

go as well as we would like.”He said at early-season

afternoon games, emergen-cy workers have sometimes been inundated with calls due to extreme heat and hu-midity.

“We have had games where we have had 300 treatments.”

I liked Elliott’s attitude. It matched Fuller’s.

“We try to learn from those incidents and seek ways to improve.”

There was no offi cial UT response to my idea for a standing-fan section: no seats, short people in front, tall fans behind, stand for warm-ups, National An-them, the entire game, even intermission, wave both arms nonstop and keep yell-ing, “Go Vols.”Marvin West invites reader reaction.

It is not often a serious candidate for the U.S. Sen-ate has in his past a state Supreme Court decision that delves into his per-sonal life, thereby making it public. But such is the case with Gordon Ball, a wealthy Knoxville attorney and Democratic U.S. Sen-ate candidate in the Aug. 7 primary.

He is featured in the case of Marie Larsen-Ball v. Gor-don Ball argued in the state Supreme Court on Sept. 4, 2009, and decided on Jan. 14, 2010, in a decision writ-ten and published by then-Chief Justice Janice Holder, who is retiring in August. It can be found at 301 S.W. 3d 328.

Of the current three jus-tices seeking retention on the court in August, only Cornelia Clark participated in this case. Gary Wade, who was on the court at the time, recused himself due to

Divorce shows Ball’s lavish lifestyle

a longtime friendship with Ball. Only four justices par-ticipated.

The basic issue was whether a $17 million at-torney fee received on Aug. 31, 2006, which occurred after his spouse fi led for di-vorce but before the divorce became fi nal, is part of the marital property and sub-ject to equitable distribution in divorce. The fi nal divorce hearing was a full year later on Aug. 27 and 29, 2007.

$17 million is signifi cant and worth arguing over, es-pecially if one spouse is go-ing to get 40 percent of it.

At the trial court, mari-tal property was valued

in 2007 as $29,650,000, which included the disput-ed $17 million. The Court of Appeals, in an opinion by Frank Clement (son of the late Gov. Frank Clem-ent), held it was marital property, and the Supreme Court agreed. It had to be divided between the two spouses.

It makes fascinating read-ing as it appears in the opin-ion itself that Gordon Ball had a rich lifestyle. The opin-ion even refers to payments of $55,000 to paramours (the court’s language, not mine).

The opinion says: “Both parties enjoy a lavish life-style and spend money on a grand scale. During the marriage (Marie) Ball spent extensive sums of money … and (Gordon) Ball has not been Spartan in his life-style.”

It will be up to the voters in the Democratic primary

to determine the relevance of this in terms of who should carry the Democratic banner against Sen. Lamar Alexander in the November general election. Knoxville attorney Terry Adams is Ball’s principal opponent. Another Knox County resi-dent, John D. King, is seek-ing the GOP nomination.

Whether this part of Ball’s biography infl uences your vote (and how) is up to every Democratic vot-er. This writer thinks you ought to know about it and not learn of it after the pri-mary is over.

Supreme Court: Pre-dictions are that Gary Wade and Sharon Lee are most likely to survive the ef-forts to remove them from the Supreme Court, espe-cially here in East Tennes-see where they are known and liked. Justice Clark is unknown in East Tennes-see. In West Tennessee, the

three are not known as none lives there.

Those wanting a Repub-lican to be chosen for state Attorney General may opt to replace Clark, giving Gov. Bill Haslam an appointment to the court, presumably one who would join the two Republican justices already there in picking a Republican AG. No woman, Republican or African-American has ever been state AG while the Supreme Court has made the selection.

The court picks the At-torney General, a duty unique to Tennessee. In this writer’s opinion, it is the major reason this political fi ght has emerged as many in the GOP, led by Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey, want to win the AG offi ce, just as Demo-crats would want the offi ce were the situation reversed.

It is surprising that three incumbents have not gone out to each of the 95 coun-ties in full campaign mode introducing themselves to the media and voters. Wade has been the most active statewide, followed by Lee.

Dr. Rick Briggs seeks to unseat state Sen. Stacey Campfi eld as the GOP nom-inee to run against Demo-crat Cheri Siler in November. Briggs, 61, is a Knox County commissioner. He moved here in 1992. Recently, he was available for an interview.

He criticizes Campfi eld for “the many things he seeks to take away from lo-cal government.”

Briggs has raised some $190,000, mostly from tra-ditional GOP donors who back Gov. Haslam.

He favors the constitu-tional amendments to re-strict abortions, to prohibit a state income tax and to allow the governor to name Supreme Court justices. He says Campfi eld “at times embarrasses the county and state on a national level.”

Briggs, who prefers to be called Rick, strongly criti-cizes the Campfi eld/Steve Hall bill to sell Lakeshore Park. He does not favor an elected school superin-tendent. He says he backs Haslam on what he has done on education.

Cremation

By Wendy SmithIsrael “Si” Dresner, the

most-arrested rabbi in America, spoke at Temple Beth El last week, along with fellow Freedom Rider Dorie Ladner.

The Knoxville Jewish Alliance teamed up with the Knoxville Bureau of Tourism and the Knoxville Airport Authority to bring civil rights activists Dresner and Ladner to town as part of the city’s celebration of the 50th anniversary of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

Dresner, who is 85, be-came a Freedom Rider in 1961. After his fi rst ride to Tallahassee, Fla., he was arrested for sitting at the counter of a segregated air-port restaurant with nine other clergy members. He continued to be active in the civil rights movement after the Freedom Rides ended later that year.

He told stories of his close relationship with Martin Luther King, Jr., who requested that he bring a contingency of rabbis to protest St. Augustine, Fla., receiving federal funds for its 400th anniversary in 1965. Segregation in St. Augustine was “brutal,” he said. Even beaches were segregated.

He complied with King’s request and brought 17 Re-form rabbis to protest. It was, at the time, the largest number of rabbis arrested at the same time. He spent

ing a reception at Temple Beth El.

time in jail four times dur-ing the civil rights move-ment.

Dresner was amazed at King’s knowledge of Juda-ism. When he accompanied King on a tour of small churches in 1962, Dresner was asked to deliver the invocation. Immediately afterward, the choir sang a song called “John the Bap-tist was a Baptist.” Dresner leaned over to King and whispered that John the Baptist was actually a Jew. King chuckled, and pointed out the error when he ad-dressed the congregation.

After observing a Pass-over Seder, King was moved by the fact that the Jews haven’t forgotten their an-cestors, who were slaves. He was convicted that African Americans shouldn’t for-

get their ancestors, either, Dresner said.

Dresner pointed out that a disproportionate number of Jews were involved in the civil rights movement. While they made up just four percent of the popula-tion, half of those involved in the struggle were Jew-ish. He said he hopes that Jews will continue to work for justice and democracy. “The struggle is not over. It goes on.”

Ladner said her parents taught her to “fi ght back” as a small child, so they were not surprised when she decided to become a civil rights activist. She became involved with the Freedom Riders in 1961 and dropped out of college three times to join the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC). She worked with SNCC project director Bob Moses to register voters and integrate public facilities.

Ladner said she en-joyed meeting with former comrades during the 50th anniversary of Freedom Summer. Those who seek equality must bind together to fi ght outside forces, she said. “We, as a people, have a long way to go.”

Knoxville native and civil rights activist Avon Rollins agreed with Ladner’s as-sessment. Blacks still earn just 60 percent of what whites earn, he said.

“We’ve got to close that income gap.”

The Fields brought their Kids Blitz Ministries show to Knoxville at the invitation of Cokesbury, which has been hosting family fun nights all summer. They travel all over the Southeast with a message of hope, encouragement and respect, presented in a way that children and their par-ents can enjoy.

The goal, said Roger Fields, is to create a shared experience involving parents and kids together. “There is

no sermon time,” he said.“The event weaves a mes-sage and demonstrates thatmessage through interactivechallenges.

“We try to turn a specta-tor into a participant,” saidRoger. “It’s a sight and soundinteractive events that com-municates. Some kids aregoing through a tough time,and there is a lot of confu-sion. We just want give themhope and let them know thatthe Lord is with them.”

It’s diffi cult to receive correction, isn’t it? It’s easy when being corrected to fall into judging the person’s motives for correcting us, taking offense at the way they corrected us, and searching out inconsisten-cies and errors in the life of the one correcting us.

But I guess that’s why David was said to be a “man after God’s own heart” (1 Samuel 13:14).

You see, David faced the stinging rebuke by the prophet Nathan. In fact, Nathan set him up in such a way that David had to have been humiliated and embarrassed. But what did King David do? Did he criticize Nathan for the way he rebuked him? No. Did he make excuses for his conduct? No. Did he seek out a way to discredit Nathan? No.

Do you know what King David did? He named a son after Nathan! Check it out (1 Chronicles 3:5). Not only did David not take offense at what Nathan did to him, he later named one of his sons “Nathan.” That’s true humility a nd refl ects a genuine desire to be right with God. David didn’t hate Nathan for his rebuke, he loved him for it.

Friends, those who have the courage to confront you for your own good aren’t worthy of our hatred or vengeance. In fact, in David’s case, his confronter was worthy of “namesake.” Give it some thought.Steve Higginbotham is the pulpit minis-

ter for the Karns Church of Christ.

“He’s the kind of man that I would want to be a judge.”

during all of the trials we’ve been through.” —Deena Christian

A s prosecutor in the Chris Newsom and Channon Christian murder trials, Leland Price

knows firsthand the importance of justice in our courts.

These tragic murders shocked our community and led to one of the most

highly publicized and demanding prosecutions ever to take place in Knox

County. Through years of hard work and the assistance of many others, the

trial team of Leland Price and Ta Kisha Fitzgerald successfully prosecuted

all four defendants, obtaining a death penalty verdict against ringleader

Lemaricus Davidson.

The students of UT’s cu-linary program never know

what to ex-pect. One week they’re l e a r n i n g how to carve an ice sculp-ture with a chain saw, and the next week they’re dishing out

healthy pasta from the kitch-en of a food truck.

“We take students with no experience who are pas-sionate but green and try to make them well rounded,” said program director Greg Eisele. During a 12-week program, students create food to serve at 10 events in-cluding an Asian buffet and an appreciation luncheon for Red Cross volunteers.

based on life events,” said Eisele. Students are taught knife skills, butchery and how to create the perfect sauce, but they also receive help de-veloping a business plan.

Gonzo Gourmet food trailer owner Brandon Wil-son is a graduate of the program’s inaugural se-mester under Eisele. Wil-son opened his business last October, serving dishes on the curbs of downtown Knoxville.

Wilson said he liked the small class size and the fact that you could pretty much

hit the ground running – or cooking – after graduation.

“You can land a very de-cent cooking job straight out of the culinary program, which is great for people like me who don’t have the time or money to spend two years in college,” he said.

Wilson also appreciated the help he received in class from specialists who ex-plained the business aspect, which he says prepared him for the amount of time he spends in front of his comput-er instead of in the kitchen.

“Literally 80 percent of the time I’m keeping up with inspections, taxes and insurance,” said Wilson, instead of doing the part of the business he loves most, which is, of course, cooking.

Gallery Shopping Center, and COO Bart Watkins couldn’t be happier.

An open layout with more room for jew-elry and wearable art and increased foot traffi c were a given when the gallery moved from its former location on Cedar Bluff last week. But the immediate increase in the framing business was a surprise.

The shopping center, which offers high-end shopping like Bliss Home and the Di-ana Warner store, has a great energy, Wat-kins says. “We love everything about it.”

The gallery also features pottery, glass and sculpture from regional and national artists and a wide variety of paintings from traditional artists, like Jim Gray, to contemporary painters, like Ursula Brenner.

Paid for by Committee to Re-Elect Chancellor Daryl Fansler, Treasurer - Tim Priest

We are your neighbors, community volunteers, members of your organizations and fellow worshippers.

We also had the privilege of being Presidents of your Knoxville Bar Association. As lawyers, we have

been intimately involved in so many issues affecting the quality and integrity of our legal system.

Regardless of our backgrounds and life experiences, we all want our court system to be fair, impartial,

and responsible. We want Judges who both know the law and have the wisdom to how to apply it.

These qualities must be assured to all of us if we are going to have faith in our judicial process. This

year, Daryl R. Fansler is seeking another term as Chancellor of the Knox County Chancery Court. He has

been on the bench for almost 16 years. In that time, he has demonstrated his commitment to justice

and fairness time and again. His experience in having presided over approximately 25,000 cases clearly

shows the impact that he has had on so many people’s lives. While some may have disagreed with his

rulings, no one has ever doubted his honesty and courage in trying to find the best and most

appropriate solutions.

We, as lawyers, are as different as you can possibly imagine. However, we are united in our support and

belief that Daryl R. Fansler should continue as Chancellor in Knox County. The lives of so many Knox

County citizens depend upon the experience of its judiciary - from family law to business disputes

these issues are as varied as they are complex. They must be met by someone who has the experience,

intellectual ability, honesty, professional fortitude and common sense to bring about fair resolutions.

That person is Daryl R. Fansler and we ask you to support him in our legal system, again.

Duncan for Congress

Conservative Leadership for East Tennessee

Working on Issues that Matter to YouA Personal Message from Congressman Duncan

Paid For by Duncan For Congress, Jason Brown, Treasurer

Congressman John J. Duncan Jr.Early voting starts July 18

Defending the Constitution I swore an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution, and that is exactly what I work to do each day.

Balanced Budget I don’t believe in spending money we don’t have. With one of the most fiscally conservative voting records in Congress, I consistently vote to reduce government spending in order to protect Social Security and control the federal debt.

Growing our Economy I want to eliminate government over-regulation so more businesses can open and expand, creating better jobs for Americans. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce endorsed my re-election saying it will, “produce sustained economical growth, help create jobs and get our country back on track.”

Repealing Obamacare I believe the biggest problem with the so-called Affordable Care Act is that it is unaffordable already. I will continue to speak out against it at every opportunity, and I believe our federal dollars are better spent on things like improving care for our nation’s veterans.

America First I oppose spending billions of dollars on people in foreign countries who hate us. We need to stop trying to take care of the whole world and start taking care of our own country and putting the American people first once again.

Haskel Bledsoe is now director of security/loss

Tri-City market. With over 30 years of industry expe-rience, Bledsoe began his

career with Giant Food Markets in K i n g s p or t at age 16. He joined Food City in 2002 as a project m a n a g e r . He was later promoted to

store manager and then dis-trict manager.

Debby Nohe, general man-ager, left, and owner Laurae Hathaway display some of the work of Embroidery Boutique.Children’s toys and towels at Embroidery Boutique are examples of the work done at the shop.

By Bonny C. MillardDesigns for You, a fami-

ly-owned business that re-cently celebrated its 25th anniversary, continues its successful path, not only by catering to long-time cus-tomers but by adapting to new opportunities. Recent opportunities have included a new location and a name change.

The embroidery compa-ny does monograms, com-pany logos and many other designs on pre-purchased items such as clothing, blan-kets and hats or on items or-

dered through the business. In mid-June, the company relocated from Tellico Vil-lage to Brooklawn Street in Farragut, in the same strip mall as Kroger.

Although the store is now known as Embroidery Bou-tique, it provides the same services to its customers. The company has built its reputation on quality work with a fast turnaround time, said Laurae Hathaway, who started the company with her husband, Gary, in 1989.

“Nothing goes out of here wrong,” she said. “Even if I

Stitching up a good business

have to replace the garment, it doesn’t go out of the build-ing if it’s wrong …that’s just our policy.”

The store can handle or-ders ranging from individu-al needs to corporate orders that may include 1,000 piec-

es. A customer can email a jpeg of a business logo or other design, and it is scanned and then digitized to appear on shirts, aprons and many other items. Ha-thaway said her husband is extremely skilled in work-ing with logos.

“What sets us apart is we do our own digitization here. We can turn it around a lot quicker,” Hathaway said. “We fi gured out how to do a lot and be effi cient at it.”

Hathaway works closely with her daughter, Debby Nohe, who is the general manager. As a teenager, Nohe helped in the busi-ness and returned full time seven years ago. Their roles reverse back and forth as to who has the fi nal say in a situation, but they are well-tuned to one another.

“The two of us are very creative,” Nohe said. “We both have an eye for color.”

If a customer picks out a color that doesn’t seem to be the right choice, Nohe will call the person to discuss the situation.

“It takes extra time, but I think that extra time pays off, because we care,” Ha-thaway said.

Although the monogram business has changed over the years, traditional items to be monogrammed, such as towels, sheets and pil-lows, are still sought after, Hathaway said. Newer to the business are monogrammed clothing for teenagers, who can be very creative about it, Nohe said. Farragut High School students have had gym shorts, visors and hats monogramed and use Pin-terest to fi nd ideas, she said.

“It’s been fun to see these kids getting into this and getting creative with it,” Nohe said.

The move to Farragut was not the fi rst major change for the business. The Hathaways started the com-pany in Boca Raton, Fla., and moved to East Tennes-see in 2005 after a major cli-ent asked them to move to a more centrally-located area.

The idea of moving to Farragut came after Nohe joined the Farragut West Knox Chamber of Com-merce a couple of years ago and saw the business po-tential in the area. Initially Farragut was to be a second location, but it made more sense to only have the one location, Nohe said.

When the business moved, they made the de-cision to change the store’s name, but the parent com-pany is still Designs for You. Hathaway explained that new customers often thought the store was an in-terior decorating and design store.

Over the years, Hathaway has had the opportunity to create many different proj-ects. Embroidered mono-grams and other designs are popular in the marine industry, she said. One cus-tomer had a 20-bedroom boat and hired the business to monogram all the towels and robes.

In addition to the embroi-dery and digitized work, the store also carries gifts and other items. Nohe and Ha-thaway create gift baskets and make corporate gifts for all occasions.

By Bonny C. MillardA trip to India in Janu-

ary to help distribute vials of polio vaccines and to visit poverty-stricken schools provided a “life-changing experience” for four Rotar-ians and fi ve Webb School of Knoxville students.

Elizabeth Gregor, Webb School of Knoxville multi-cultural coordinator, said that India was declared po-lio free during the group’s trip. Gregor and two oth-ers who traveled to India, Webb junior Rachel Yen and Rotarian Frank Rothermel, shared their experiences and impressions of the jour-ney with the Rotary Club of Farragut.

“It was a life-changing experience for all of us,” Gregor said.

In addition to the three presenters, the others in the group included Webb students Lizzie John-son, Caleigh Schaad, Helen Bonnyman and Ceci Bradley, who are all members of the school’s Interact Club, an affi liation of Rota-ry International. Johnson’s father, Rob, and Schaad’s fa-ther, James, both members of the Rotary Club of Knox-ville, were also a part of the group. Rothermel is a mem-ber of the Farragut club.

One of their destinations, New Delhi, is a city of 18 million people and 10 mil-lion cars and demonstrates the vast expanse of wealth and poverty in that country, Gregor said. The group vis-ited a recently-built temple that housed an 11-foot, gold-plated statute while fi ve minutes away people live in squalid conditions.

“We found that India is a land of contrasts,” Gregor said.

The purpose of the trip

Making a diff erence in India

By Anne HartThe changing of the guard highlighted

the recent meeting of the Rotary Club of West Knoxville as out-go-ing president Oliver Smith IV handed over the gavel to long-time club member Gary West.

Tom Daughtrey, who chaired this year’s second annual fund-raising barbecue event and is pres-ident-elect of the club, was

named Rotarian of the Year. Ted Hotz was elected vice president; Charlie Biggs, secre-tary, and Keelie Ritchie, treasurer.

Dr. Tom Kim, founder of Knoxville’s Free Medical Clinic which serves the working

poor who can’t afford medical insurance, was given the prestigious Service Above Self Award for 2014.

Kim’s family fl ed North Korea when he was 6 years old. The family eventually

made its way to the U.S., and in 1979, Kim came to Knoxville with the goal of “repaying his debt to America for the gift of a new life.”

Kim’s sponsor, Charles Garvey, de-scribed Kim as living the Rotary motto dai-

ly. “As a physician, he could be making good money, but he chooses Service Above Self.”

A new award this year, the Lucy M. Gib-son Newcomer of the Year Award, named for the club’s fi rst woman president, was given to new member Jason Fields.

Sam Balloff was congratulated on his 91st birthday.

was three-fold: to partici-pate in National Immuniza-tion Days, visit the Bharati-ya Vidya Bhavan (BVB) private school, which has an exchange program with Webb, and visit the Bal Ba-

har School in the slums of another destination city, Chandigarh, said Gregor.

Rothermel said even though India

has been declared “po-lio free,” there is still work to be done because neigh-boring countries still have polio cases. In Pakistan, for example, healthcare work-ers have been killed by ter-rorists, said Rothermel.

The eradication of polio worldwide is one of the ma-jor global initiatives for Ro-tary International.

During the January im-munization, 175 million children across the country received two drops of vac-cine, he said. “It is just phe-nomenal what this country has been able to accom-plish,” Rothermel said.

Ending illiteracy is the next big push for the coun-try that still has a large segment of the population who can’t read and write, he

said. While they were there, the group visited students and teachers at two vastly different schools.

Yen, president of Webb’s Interact Club, said they vis-ited the Bal Bahar School and brought fi nger puppets, socks and art supplies to the children. She said the kids enjoyed getting their pic-tures taken.

Yen presented the school with $500 on this trip. Since 2010, the Interact Club has raised $18,000 for the Bal Bahar School by col-lecting donations and hold-ing dinners. Gregor, Inter-act’s school advisor, said the $500 donation would sup-ply food for the children for a year.

During the trip, the group also met with students from the BVB school, includ-ing two girls who came to Webb School last spring as exchange students. Yen said her journey and her partici-pation in administering the vaccine was a rewarding ex-perience.

“It was very empowering to think those two drops could save their lives,” she said.

Tim Burns, technical director of the Tennessee Theatre in downtown Knox-ville, thinks his dad, Bill, would approve of the vener-able old theater’s new digital projector.

“He was always one to embrace new technology,” says Burns the younger, “and he would appreciate the enhanced quality of the digital presentations.”

The senior Burns spent his life as a movie projec-tionist. Even after he retired in 1984, he came to the Ten-nessee, where he ran every fi lm until 2001.

“My dad started as a projectionist in 1930 at the ripe old age of 11 at the Lyric Theatre in Ashland, Ken-tucky,” says Tim. “He and my mother moved to Knox-

ville from Charleston, West Virginia, in 1949.

“The fi rst theaters he worked in here were the Lee and Dawn theaters. In 1951 he landed a permanent spot at the Pike Theater and was there for 33 years. The Pike became the Capri Cinema. He would also work relief shifts at the Riviera, Knox-ville and Twin Aire drive-ins and has worked some at most of the other theaters in town.

sure enough! I started get-ting seasick!”

Movies also affected the youngster in a more mean-ingful way. At age 8, watch-ing “The Agony and the Ecstasy,” he asked his dad where the church was that Michelangelo was painting.

“When he explained that it was in Rome I thought, ‘I sure would love to see it, but I guess there is no way I ever would.’ Ten years later my high school band took a trip to Rome. We toured the Vati-can, and as I stood in the Sis-tine Chapel my mind went back to that projection booth watching Charlton Heston painting that ceiling.”

Like all professionals in his fi eld, Burns has known that the days of fi lms on reels have been numbered for some time. “The Tennes-

see Theatre has a need for this technology,” explains Vince Fusco, president of the Tennessee Theatre Founda-tion board. “Movies come on hard drive now. We have a harder and harder time fi nd-ing 35 millimeter fi lm.”

Regal Cinemas donated the new, state-of-the-art digital projector at the be-ginning of this year. Becky Hanson, executive director of the theater, is excited that the new projector is capable not only of showing movies, but can be used for business events and simulcasts such as the popular “Live from the Met” broadcasts. “This is the beginning of a whole new era for the Tennessee,” she says.

“The quality of the picture and sound is so much better” than that of the old, obsoles-cent way, says Fusco. Still,

he points out that even this brand-new technology has a limited life span. “Eventu-ally, there won’t even be hard drives,” he says. “Movies will come through a satellite con-nection.”

For now, Tim Burns is glad to have the new technology in his house. “We’re not going to be in a situation where we’re trying to run stuff that’s past its prime because it’s the only print we can get,” he says. “We can get anything that’s been digitized.

And what would Bill, who passed away in January 2002, think about being put out of work by this spanking new system?

According to his son, he’d say, “It’s been a good run while it lasted.”Send story suggestions to news@Shop-

“I literally grew up in a projection booth.”

Though he describes himself as a fi lm fan but not a fanatic, Burns does hold many special memories of a young life spent at the movies. In particular, he re-members a showing at the Capri 70, which was located where Bennett Galleries now stands.

“There was nothing like watching a true Cinerama picture on that screen with that sound system! One movie I remember seeing there was ‘Krakatoa, East of Java.’ Before I went down-stairs to watch the movie my dad said, ‘Don’t get sea-sick,’ to which I laughed.

Now enrolling grades Pre-K through 1 for the 201 -1 school year. Homeschool Umbrella available for grades K-8.

Call now to schedule a school visit.

P a i d e i a Academy was founded in 2004 to pro-vide Knoxville families with a school that offered classi-cal Christian education - a quickly-grow-ing movement n a t i o n w i d e . Paideia Acad-

emy is a member and active candidate for full accredi-tation with the Association of Classical and Christian Schools, which currently has

over 250 member schools - 15 of these in Tennessee.

What is classical Chris-tian education? According

to the Association of Clas-sical & Christian Schools, it is simply “a historic, biblical education.” Paideia Academy’s program goes beyond voca-tional, technical, and profes-sional training. This classical Christian education shapes the whole student. Intellectual and spiritual integration de-velops critical thinkers, able communicators, and life-long learners with a distinctly bib-lical worldview.

This approach utilizes:

Age-specifi c Pre-K-12 learning

Classical Christian schools use students’ strengths at each stage of development to help them learn. Young chil-dren enjoy memorizing facts, particularly through the use of chants, songs, and rhythmic verse. Early adolescents are argumentative and increas-ingly able to draw conclusions. Maturing students transition-ing into adulthood become more conscious of how oth-ers perceive them, desiring to communicate more effectively and to apply the knowledge and understanding they have gained. Classical Christian schools seek to recognize this natural progression and employ methods that teach with the grain.

Time-tested method and content

Classical Christian schools use methods of instruction that have been in use for cen-turies and produced most of history’s great thinkers. A

classical Christian education is liberal-arts based, founded on the history, philosophy, culture, and languages of Western civilization.

Christ-centered curriculum

Classical Christian schools teach that all knowledge is interrelated and points back to Christ. Bible is not viewed as another subject; rather, it is the lens through which all subjects are viewed. Biblical standards of conduct are ap-plied in all areas of school life.

Rigorous academicsClassical Christian schools

have high expectations for student learning, allowing stu-dents to experience the per-sonal satisfaction inherent in mastering a diffi cult task. In grades Pre-K through sixth, the focus is on core knowl-edge. Students study reading, writing, math, science, history, language arts, fi ne arts, and Latin. Seventh through twelfth grade students embark on a “great books” curriculum cov-ering history, theology, and lit-erature in a single comprehen-sive study. Their classes also include college-preparatory math and science courses, log-ic, rhetoric, apologetics, Latin, and biblical Greek. Paideia Academy sets high expecta-tions for student learning. Av-erage students quickly rise to the standard and enjoy a sense of achievement.

Nurturing community

Paideia Academy:A Classical Christian Approach

Peideia Academy Headmaster,James Cowart

Did You Know?… that Paideia Academy’s status as a Dual Enrollment Site with Bryan College means that PA juniors and seniors can earn up to 24 accredited college credit hours through their regular coursework before they graduate high school?

Classical Christian schools are a community of parents and teachers who share a com-mitment for teaching children to love learning and grow in godliness. Small class sizes, dedicated teachers, and en-gaged families ensure quality instruction, personal attention, and Christian mentoring.

“It has been exciting to see classical Christian education in Knoxville grow in recent years,” said James Cowart, Paideia Academy headmas-ter. “In addition to our school, First Baptist Academy (Powell) is a fellow ACCS member, and Classical Conversations has ex-panded the options for home-schoolers.”

Homeschool Umbrella Program

Paideia Academy also offers an umbrella program to partner with homeschoolers in grades K-8 who utilize a classical Christian approach. The school provides planning and support resources to parents. Homeschool umbrella students have access to Paideia’s classes, fi eld trips, athletics, and activities.

While Theresa Turner’s transmyocardial revascular-ization was performed as a solo therapy, TMR could one day become a routine part of coronary bypass surgery, says Dr. Thomas Pollard, a cardio-thoracic surgeon at Parkwest Medical Center.

In fact, Pollard says Park-west is now participating in a national TMR registry that seeks to answer the question: Should all coronary bypass pa-tients have TMR?

“It may be that TMR is un-der-utilized,” he said, adding that while only 4 to 7 percent of coronary bypasses at Parkwest include TMR, as many as 25 per-cent could possibly benefit from the procedure.

That’s because national stud-ies have indicated as many as 1 in 4 coronary bypasses are “in-complete” or “compromised” due to the patient having vessels too small to bypass or insufficient graft material.

“When we are in surgery and we feel that (certain) vessels need to be bypassed, and we are comfortable that our grafts are good quality grafts, we don’t do TMR,” he explained. “We only perform TMR if we feel the sur-gery will be incomplete using the

“I haven’t felt this good

in years!” Theresa Turner

said after TMR surgery

at Parkwest.

Restless heartMaryville woman fi nds cardiac relief with TMR surgery

Hers was a restless heart, fi lling her life with ischemic strokes, clogged arteries, shortness of breath, chronic angina and a heart attack.

But no matter what she tried, Theresa Turner’s heart could not be tamed. Open-heart surgery with three bypasses didn’t do it. Neither did two more surgeries, three stents and EECP (Enhanced External Counterpulsation) therapy. Nor did all the nitro pills, pumps and patches in between.

So when her shortness of breath reached the point that she felt like she was living in a vacuum and her angina had become a daily companion, she wondered, “Now what?” But the 54-year-old Maryville grandmoth-er couldn’t believe her ears when she heard what Dr. Greg Brewer, the chief of cardiol-ogy at Parkwest Medical Center, was rec-ommending she try next: transmyocardial revascularization (or TMR).

TMR is a surgery in which a computer-guided laser makes tiny holes in the heart to stimulate the heart muscle to create new blood vessels, bolstering the blood’s oxy-gen levels, reducing angina and improving heart function. It can be performed alone or as part of a coronary bypass operation.

“To be brutally honest, I was scared,” Turner said. “When he started talking about using a laser and drilling holes in my heart, I was like, ‘You’re going to do what?!’ But Dr. Brewer said, ‘We’ve done all we can.’ I was thinking ‘Ohhh, OK.’ But at the time, I couldn’t breathe. I couldn’t walk eight feet without stopping to rest. I was hurting and simply couldn’t breathe. I knew I had to do something. There was no other way.”

No other way, indeed. TMR is for that small group of patients who, like Turner, have tried everything but still suffer from end-stage coronary artery disease with pro-

TMR may be part of future of bypass surgery Is TMR right for you?Despite the many techno-

logical advances in manag-ing coronary heart disease, as many as 200,000 people across the United States may continue to experience chronic angina and shortness of breath even after conven-tional heart procedures such as stenting, angioplasty and coronary artery bypass graft-ing surgery.

Many of those people might benefi t from TMR, transmyo-cardial revascularization, a procedure in use since the late 1990s to increase the oxygen levels to the heart muscle, eliminate or reduce angina and improve overall cardio-vascular function. It can be done in a 1.5-hour stand-alone operation or as a complement to open-heart surgery in pa-tients who have areas of isch-emic heart disease that can-not be bypassed. In the latter case, the procedure can be performed in as little as fi ve to 10 minutes and can be done either before or after place-ment of grafts on a stopped heart.

About 20,000 patients na-tionwide have undergone the procedure with one-third re-

porting no angina pain after fi ve years as well as improved breathing. Five-year studies show patients who have the TMR procedure have a 65 percent survival rate, com-pared to a 52 percent survival rate for those who choose only to manage their pain through medication.

Recovery time for the stand-alone procedure is shorter than the traditional, more invasive open heart sur-gery.

Of course, not every pa-tient qualifi es for TMR. Your surgeon will make the deter-mination on eligibility. In gen-eral, it is for stable patients with severe Class IV angina that has not responded to tra-ditional treatments, causing profound physical limitations.

It is not a treatment for congestive heart failure and it won’t improve shortness of breath that is unrelated to angina nor will it improve a failing heart. Patients who have had prior heart attacks may still qualify for TMR, but those with severely damaged heart muscle do not.

Ask your doctor if TMR is right for you.

found physical limitations due to angina.“I have a HUGE family history of heart

disease, and I inherited very, very small arteries,” Turner explained. “As a matter of fact, Dr. Brewer told me they were so tiny they resembled threads. When he does a heart cath, he has to use a very, very, very tiny catheter. Even then he might have a hard time. That’s why I have so many prob-lems – they clog up so fast because they are so small.”

Without the arteries delivering oxygen-rich blood, Turner’s heart could not survive. The lack of oxygen to her heart was causing ever-present angina and raising the risk of her having yet another heart attack.

So, on April 1, 2013, Turner was wheeled into an operating room at Parkwest Medi-cal Center and put under general anesthe-

sia. Dr. Thomas Pollard, a cardiothoracic surgeon, made a four-inch incision just be-low her left breast, exposing her still beat-ing, blood-fi lled heart.

Pollard guided a laser directly to areas where Turner’s tiny arteries were blocked. Positioning the laser directly on the surface of the beating heart, he fi red six to 10 bursts of laser energy into her left ventricle.

The bursts cut tiny holes smaller than the head of a pin through her heart muscle, creating a channel which allowed fresh blood to fl ow to the area immediately. The outside punctures sealed over quickly with little blood loss. After channels were cre-ated in the fi rst area, Pollard moved on to other diseased areas of the heart and re-peated the process.

While researchers aren’t clear on how

the procedure relieves angina, there isstrong evidence that as the laser pierces theheart it also severs nerves which transmitpain signals. More importantly, the limitedinjury to the heart’s myocardium by the la-ser stimulates the growth of new blood ves-sels, which increase blood fl ow to the heart.

Three days later Turner, who once felt that her cardiac problems were a “burden”on her family, was discharged from the hos-pital with a new outlook on life.

“Everything came out beautifully! I couldtell the difference immediately. Immediate-ly!” Turner exclaimed. “Dr. Pollard had toldme that it would take anywhere from threeto six months, maybe even up to a year, tosee the full results. But it didn’t take thatlong. I was back to doing my Wii-Fit withinthree months. Now I can work out for threehours straight and I’m fi ne. It was amazing!I haven’t felt this good in years!”

“I always tell patients not to expect im-mediate relief because, when you thinkabout it, the surgery mainly works by newblood vessels growing back in and thatcan take weeks to months,” said Pollard.“However, there are some patients who getimmediate relief and that’s likely becausethe laser may interrupt nerve sensation.Although we’re not entirely clear on how itworks, you can’t argue that it’s effective inmost cases.”

A year later, Theresa Turner’s heart re-mains true to Parkwest.

“Anytime, anything, I don’t care what itis, I’ll go to Parkwest,” she says. “It’s a drivefrom here to get there but I’ll go there be-fore I will anywhere else. It’s that good tome.”

traditional approach, usually be-cause of small coronary vessels.”

The advent of stem cell ther-apy, however, could change all that.

According to Pollard, re-searchers are now working to-ward extracting from the pa-tient’s bone marrow stem cells that grow new blood vessels and injecting those cells into the heart at the same time as the TMR procedure. The procedure has been tried with heart cath-eterizations but failed because the stem cells would “wash out” too quickly.

“The cath lab studies didn’t really show much benefit, but it’s thought that if you have these laser channels to cause an in-flammatory zone, those inflam-matory cells attract the blood

vessel-growing cells and, hopefully, keep them in the tissue,” said Pollard, adding that he believes FDA approval will be forthcoming within the next three years.

Pollard and Parkwest cardi-ologist Dr. Greg Brewer serve as consultants for a company that manufactures the TMR device. Pollard acknowledges that “most cardiac surgeons in the country have it available to them, but it is still an under-

utilized therapy. When I talk to other surgeons about it, I ask them, ‘What else are you going to do?’ These are patients with chronic angina, they’ve tried everything else, they can’t have another bypass surgery, they’re maxed out on medicines, they’ve exhausted all therapies.

“I’ll be the first to admit that TMR doesn’t always work when done as a sole therapy. I have had the occasional patients who say a few months later, ‘Thanks for trying but it really didn’t help me.’ But if you look at the pub-lished data, 75 percent of pa-tients say they are better. Now 75 percent success rate is not that good on some things, but when you have no other options, it’s pretty good.”

Cindy Lou and Tabitha are gorgeous, fun-loving sisters about 9

months old. Cindy Lou is a petite classic short-haired silver tabby,

while Tabitha is a beautiful long-haired mackeral silver tabby.

Cindy Lou is more goofy than her sister, while Tabitha is more

laid- back. They play together, sleep together, and groom each

other. While we would love for them to go as a pair (adopt both

for the price of one!), they can go separately. They are VERY play-

ful and active. They like to be held and to snuggle. They get along

well with cats, and I think they'd be great with dogs and kids.

They are negative for feline leukemia and aids, current on their

distemper and rabies vaccines, have been wormed, had Advan-

tage for fl eas, and been vet checked and spayed.

Unless you possess a time machine, there are only a couple of ways I know to prolong spring-time, at least on this side of the Equator – go higher or go north. But why prolong springtime anyway? Why, to continue to enjoy spring bird migration, of course. To spend more mornings surrounded by singing and courting birds, up from their wintertime hangouts in their spiffy spring feath-ers, active and conspicuous. And an Eden-like backdrop of fresh spring wildfl owers is certainly a nice accompa-niment to the scene.

Thus, during the recent and seemingly unending winter, we searched for a place where we could indeed fi nd spring again, after the one in Tennessee was done. And we found just such a place, in northwestern Montana, which is actually farther north than northern Maine, and higher, too.

The place? The Nature Conservancy’s 18,000-acre Pine Butte Swamp Pre-serve and its adjacent Pine Butte Guest Ranch. Located just where the high-rolling shortgrass prairie that oc-cupies the eastern two-thirds of Montana meets the fi rst row of craggy, snow-capped Rocky Mountains, the property rises abruptly from 4,500 feet above sea level out on the plains to over 8,500 feet up on the mountain peaks.

One could expect a late spring there, with lots of dif-ferent birds and lots of fl ow-ers. And then the clincher: the birding program that week at the ranch was to be led by famous fi eld-guide author and bird artist David Allen Sibley. Sibley, from Massachusetts, was to be joined by a co-leader, Keith Hansen, another bird artist

Big Sky birding

and author, from the coast of California. It sounded like an excellent team, and they proved to be just that-expert and very enjoyable.

The actual program was the fi rst week of June, so Spouse and I headed out the last week of May and birded our way to western Montana. Along the way, we enjoyed some great his-tory lessons. We crossed the path of the Lewis and Clark expedition (1804-1806) sev-eral times as we proceeded along the Missouri River from St. Louis, Missouri, to Great Falls, Montana. There are numerous parks, monu-ments and exhibits along their route, and the mag-nifi cent Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center in Great Falls, where we spent an en-tire day.

Finally, a couple of hours northwest of Great Falls and 2,300 miles from home, we found the Pine Butte Guest Ranch nestled down amongst a batch of big rugged mountains, and sitting beside the rushing, snowmelt-fi lled South Fork of the Teton River. And just down the road and out onto the prairie is the Pine Butte Swamp Preserve itself. Now, you wouldn’t expect to fi nd a swamp in Montana, and although the Pine Butte Swamp Preserve is wet, it isn’t really a swamp – it’s a fen.

That means that rather than having a big area of dark stagnant water stand-ing around out there, there are lots of seeps, springs

and little springs fi lled with clear, cool groundwater from the mountains, which creates an interesting wet-land in an otherwise sparse and arid countryside. That, in turn, attracts all sorts of plants and animals.

The wetlands turned out to be bad for the original ranchers. They had hoped to drain the “swamp” and grow crops and cattle – only the swamp wouldn’t drain. The ranch failed, and later became available, and the Nature Conservancy bought it. Which is great for nature. Now protected and with plenty of water, it is full of wild things – deer, elk, moose, bobcats, golden eagles. And grizzly bears.

Lewis and Clark fi rst de-scribed the grizzly, at that time unknown to science. They wrote that they were “verry large and turrible.” And they indeed had a num-ber of very close calls with them in Montana. The area of the Pine Butte Preserve has the largest concentra-tion of grizzlies in North America. The momma griz-zlies bring their new cubs down from the mountains in the spring to feed out in the wetlands below. All the ranch hands carry a can of “bear spray” on their belts, and we were all warned to stay aware of our surround-ings and not wander around alone.

Ah, but the birds. The state of Montana may have only nine people per square mile, but it boasts a bird list of nearly 400 species. We were hoping to see consider-ably over 100 for the trip. At the ranch each day, we bird-ed for an hour before break-fast, and then we were away, either out onto the prairie or up into the mountains, to see what we could see. Our searches for prairie birds out on the grassy hilltops showed us why Montana is called “Big Sky Country.” You could see nearly forever in every direction, and the

sky did indeed look bigger than any I ever saw.

Out in the arid West, lakes attract large numbers of birds. We spent one day at a huge lake, appropri-ately called Freezeout Lake; it was 43 degrees that day. Big rafts of birds were ev-erywhere. We observed 15 species of ducks, four gulls, three terns, and more than a dozen other water-related

species – white pelicans, grebes, herons, marbled godwits and yellow-headed blackbirds.

Up in the mountains we spied numerous bird won-ders, small and large, from tiny male calliope hum-mingbirds doing their big swooping courtship fl ights to majestic prairie falcons and golden eagles, nesting high up on the sheer cliffs

above us. We saw birds that only a true birder could love, with names like MacGilli-vray’s warbler, Townsend’s solitaire, gray jay, Clark’s nutcracker. My favorite bird of the trip has to be the amazing American dip-per – a little gray bird that gathers its food by walk-ing along the bottoms of rushing mountain streams, searching for aquatic bugs and larvae as nonchalantly as if it were pecking around in my yard.

Our species list grew and grew, and when at last we had to bid the ranch good-bye we had tallied up 142 species for the fi ve days we had spent there. That plus a whole array of new wild-fl owers, lots of scenery and history, and some of the best steaks you ever ate, made for a trip that we would gladly repeat any year – except that there are a lot of other places out there, where we hope to prolong springtime again in the years ahead.
