On June 6, 2013, Wiser sent a letter to the county mayor, the law director and every member of county commission announcing his candidacy for sheriff and ac- cusing incumbent Sheriff Jimmy “J.J.” Jones of abusing the depart- ment’s drive-home vehicle policy by keeping four cars, including a $70,000 Jack Roush R3 Mustang, for his personal use. He also ac- cused Jones of allowing employees who live in surrounding counties to drive Knox County vehicles home overnight. “That was D-Day, Honey. And I’m declaring war,” Wiser said. Jones denied Wiser’s accusa- tions and called the retired Knox- ville Police Department investiga- tor a liar. “In looking at the letter Wiser wrote, the only truthful statement I found was that I do have a marked vehicle at my house because often I ride patrol,” Jones said. “Every- thing else as far as I know is untrue. And since he stated he is a candi- date for sheriff, it is my personal opinion that he is misinformed and as a former law enforcement officer is a disgrace to any man or woman who has ever worn a badge.” KCSO public information officer Martha Dooley released a list of the department’s fleet, which did not include any of the vehicles Wiser mentioned. The county finance office was unable to shed much light on the situation since the fleet list does not report vehicles purchased with drug fund money or seized from drug dealers. When asked if KCSO has a high end Mustang classified as a drug enforcement vehicle, Dooley refused to comment. “I can’t tell you anything be- cause we get into safety and securi- ty issues,” she said. “Some vehicles are part of drug enforcement and are confidential, with no taxpayer money involved.” This is an argument that goes back to the days when then-Coun- ty Commissioner Wanda Moody filed a raft of lawsuits against then-Sheriff Tim Hutchison in an attempt to force him to be ac- countable to county commission for large expenditures. She won on 18 of the 19 points she made, and Hutchison was convicted of criminal contempt for withhold- ing information. Moody’s lawyer, Herb Moncier, says he knows nothing about the current sheriff’s policies, but takes a dim view of the historic “veil of secrecy” surrounding drug fund money. “There’s no secret down there as to who has what car. The prob- lem used to be, they didn’t want anybody to know what they are doing, because they have more cars than anybody in the world. They’ve got to have insurance on those cars, and all of that’s public information. There may be some limited circumstances as to why a particular person might not want to be identified as driving a par- ticular car, but that’s so limited.” Wiser, who is a state-certified driver’s safety and drug aware- ness instructor whose students are offenders referred by the court system, shut down his business after being charged with falsely certifying that a student had com- pleted 16 hours of court-ordered safe driving classes. In June, he was charged with tampering with and fabricating evidence, a Class C felony. The case is currently mired in motions, and Wiser says he will work full time on campaigning for sheriff.

Bubba and Scrapper’s playhouse

Usually when I approach writing a story, I fi nd some-thing or someone who piques my interest, which isn’t dif-fi cult. I’ve always been natu-rally curious about just about everything (except politics).

Duck Pond Antiques

to do at Duck Pond Antiques and Woodworking. Photo submitted

Then of course I fi nd out about said subject and write about it.

But sometimes stories write themselves, and some-times people write their own stories – and sometimes when they do, they’re better stories than I could write. This is one of those.

I chalk it up to the cre-ative mind of one Barry Fernandez, a.k.a. “Bubba,” whom many surely can’t forget if they ever were in one of his classes at Halls or Oak Ridge high schools. He taught at Halls in the ‘60s and the ‘00s, and was at Oak Ridge between, teach-ing math and computer sci-ence, mostly.

Well before his second stint at Halls, he left Oak Ridge High School and had several jobs in what he calls his “mercenary years.” He worked on special projects for the government, was hired by former students he says were geniuses at the computer screen but un-able to communicate with real people, and he was the IT director at both Walters State and Pellissippi.

He credits his wife, Dr. Donna Cragle, an epide-miologist doing cancer research studies, with en-abling him to reach out and take jobs with risk. He says he supported her during her education years, and the two have been able to trade off times of making money and the leaner times of be-ing creative.

Their daughters, Danielle and Katie, have made their way through higher educa-tion, too – both have mas-ter’s degrees (or almost).

His refl ections on the dif-ference in teaching at Halls on both ends of a 40-year span are hilarious and sad

at the same time.“In the ‘60s, a lot of stu-

dents who weren’t interest-ed in school simply dropped out, leaving a group who wanted to learn in the class-rooms. Kids in the 2000s weren’t allowed to drop out, so we had to deal with not only a whole lot more regu-lation from the system, but kids who just didn’t want to be there,” Fernandez says.

“Plus I was old. It’s easier to teach a cat to use a toilet than to gain respect from a high school student nowa-days, especially if you’re old.

“I learned you just can’t go home. Not after that long.”

I asked Fernandez if he wanted to email me some comments about his new business, Duck Pond An-tiques and Woodworking, a small shop sandwiched between – you guessed it – Fountain City Lake and First Tennesse Bank.

Here’s what he sent:Barry “Bubba” Fernan-

dez fi rst met Lowell “Scrap-per” McDonald about two years ago as Scrapper was remodeling his sec-ond home on Gibbs Drive in Fountain City. Barry is retired from education and

into this because I asked myself, ‘Why not do some-thing I enjoy?’ Right now it’s fun, but who knows what will happen next?”

Movie on thelawn at St. Paul

St. Paul United Method-ist Church invites everyone to join in and watch a movie on the lawn on Saturday, June 29.

Beginning at 7:30, the church will provide hot dogs, chips, popcorn and lemonade. There will also be a few children’s activities and playground playtime

before the movie at dusk – around 8:30.

At press time the movie had not been chosen, but the church assures us it will be family-friendly.

This will be the fi rst event to be attended by the newly appointed pastor, Sarah Varnell, the night before her fi rst Sunday at St Paul.

In case of rain, activities and the movie will be in the fellowship hall. Bring a blanket or lawn chairs. The next movie will be Saturday, July 27.

The church is at 4014 Garden Drive.

Scrapper is retired from building custom homes in and around Knoxville.

Soon Scrapper was fi n-ishing several jobs that Barry had left undone at his home and Barry was helping Scrapper with some of his remodeling. Af-ter several conversations, Barry talked Scrapper into opening an antique and woodworking shop while Scrapper talked Barry into playing golf every Monday.

Barry gave in but was worried that he wouldn’t be any competition for Scrap-per who is a low handicap golfer. Barry hadn’t swung a golf club for 25 years since playing six days a week, but so far it seems to be working.

The shop has been open about three months and has many repurposed items made from saved lumber from Scrapper’s remodels and Barry’s concepts – like chairs made from skis, kitch-en islands made from oak truck beds, furniture made from baseball bats, etc.

There are antique sports equipment, antique games and children’s toys. There are several 1940s and 1950s tables, McCoy cookie jars, vintage tools and car acces-sories. There are several BB guns and air guns dating back to the 1950s.

The woodshop is get-ting a steady fl ow of fur-niture repairs and builds from scratch. This is where Scrapper shines. His work-manship is outstanding and what you would expect from the master carpenter that he is.

Barry helps by hand-ing him the tools he needs and sanding t he projects as they fi nish. It is a successful partnership … so far.

Now if Barry can only match him on the golf course every Monday.

By Libby MorganInstant response to orders

is critical to military police actions, as Chuck Welch well knows. He was a member of the Tennessee Military Po-lice until budget cuts wiped out his position in 2010.

Now he’s raising sheep. They don’t take orders. (Well, maybe they will from Welch’s young shepherd dog after it learns how to herd, but that’s a ways out.)

Lifestyle changes from the military to the civilian world can be uncomfort-able for some, but Welch has happily settled in to life on the farm.

Bees were his fi rst fasci-nation, but he decided that since even the scientists are struggling to keep them healthy, it is too much of a challenge.

“I had to throw in the towel on the bees,” he says.

He had an opportunity to buy a fl ock of Katahdin Hair sheep earlier this year, and he went for it. Katahdin don’t require shearing.

“Katahdin’s wool isn’t marketable as far as I know, and they simply shed their hair each spring. Some haven’t completely lost their

coat yet, but they will soon.” says Welch. “They look like a motley bunch right now.

“I plan to market the sheep for breeding and meat. This fl ock was al-ready bred when I got them, and sheep normally have twins. Thirty-two ewes (delivered) 61 lambs this spring. And they grow really quickly.”

Welch has begun to learn about an old grazing theory that has come to the fore-front lately, a method that requires moving the live-stock from pasture to pas-ture every few days, depend-ing on the animal, the plants and the life cycles of para-sites, among other things.

He’s been educating him-self on intensive, high den-sity and rotational grazing by attending summits and conferences. He has also become a Master Beef Pro-ducer through the ag exten-sion program.

Right now he has only sheep on his pastures, but later may mix in cattle. There are ways to combine different grazing animals, following one with the oth-er, to affect the health of the pasture, he says.

Hair sheep. Photo by Libby Morgan

Welch settles in to sheep farming

Challenges in the system are having enough fencing and cross fencing to keep the animals where Welch wants them, while provid-ing them with water and shade in each area.

“I’m using a combina-tion of polywire fencing and electric netting that’s pow-ered by solar. It’s very por-

table,” Welch says. “One of the goals is to

have viable pastureland that will sustain the fl ock without buying hay. We’ll see when winter comes whether I will have to buy hay. The good thing is we have excellent hay around here, and lots of it, especial-ly this year.”

He is interested in build-ing parasite-resistant sheep through selection and ge-netics. People from the summits he has attended – farmers, ranchers and agricultural scientists – are pooling their fi ndings to further the success in rais-ing livestock without expen-sive and ever-less-effective

chemical treatments.“I’m learning a lot, and

since I’m new to all this,I’m open to new ideas. Ev-ery day I learn something.The animals themselvescan teach you a lot if youpay close attention, and I’mwilling to learn.”

A great day in Carter!

By Ruth WhiteThe Carter community

was buzzing as the new Carter Elementary School was offi cially opened.

Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett was on hand to re-ceive the keys to the build-ing and unlock the doors for a huge crowd to get a sneak peek at the facility.

Superintendent Dr. Jim McIntyre was excited that the building was construct-ed on time and on budget.

“I have seen the extraor-dinary job the teachers have done in educating the

School board member Mike McMillan was happy to see the day become real-ity.

“This is something this community will be very proud of for decades to come.”

“This is something to be proud of,” said former Cart-er student Ann Winstead. “The new school was a great need and I’m so thrilled that my grandsons will get to at-tend Carter Elementary in the future.”

One parent was speech-less as she toured the new

cafeteria and kitchen area. “There are restrooms

for the children close by and they don’t have to walk across the building any-more,” she said.

Although the students are beginning summer va-cation, many are already ex-cited about the start of the new school year.

The unfortunate news that three Knoxville city police offi cers had pleaded guilty on June 10 to state charges of beating and kicking a handcuffed, men-tally ill person might never have happened without the installation of audio and video equipment in police cars which provides com-plete, irrefutable evidence to what happened when charges of excessive force or brutality occur.

Audio/video necessary in police cars

This equipment was installed on my watch as mayor after a series of events in which three African Americans died separately in police custody in just over a year. The most publicized was the Andre Stinson case.

Many of the accusations which arose during these tragic events boiled down to a case of “he said, you said” between two per-sons with no reliable way to determine the facts. How-ever, once there was a fi lm and tape of what happened, then one could not deny what was on tape or fi lm.

In the vast majority of cases, the police offi cers behaved appropriately and the fi lm/tape upheld their actions. In this case, what happened was shameful, excessive and brutal. The tape/fi lm spoke clearly as to what happened. There was no doubt.

Police Chief David Rausch punished all of those involved, including superiors who failed to review the video as well as others who lied in reports or failed to review all of the available in-cruiser video before approving the of-fi cers’ actions.

Lt. Brad Anders, who re-ceived a written reprimand, is also a Knox County commissioner. A year ago he came within one vote of being elected chair of the County Commission. How this may impact his future political endeavors is un-clear, but it is a negative.

The video/audio equip-ment comes with a cost to taxpayers. When fi rst pur-chased in 1998 it was a VHS system which cost in the $1 million range. In 2003, this system was replaced with Mobile Vision VHS system with a comparable cost. Four years later, in 2007,

the system was replaced with a Digital System at a cost of $1.6 million. Annual maintenance runs around $60,000 according to Chief Rausch.

Rausch stated, “It is a very important and worth-while expenditure. The majority of the time, the video protects the offi cer to show that they are doing their jobs correctly and professionally under some very extremely diffi cult situations.”

It might also be stated that this gives the Depart-ment credibility in that complaints will be handled seriously and acted on when inexcusable conduct occurs as it did here. What Judge Steve Sword will do in terms of sentenc-ing on Aug. 8 is unknown. However, Chief Rausch did what he could to correct a clear wrong by those sworn to uphold the law.

■ On a different legal front, TVA has thrown in the towel on its two-year-old dress code for those attending TVA public hearings by rescinding this policy. However, plaintiffs like attorney Chris Irwin, who wore facial paint and was barred from a TVA hearing, insist the federal court needs to bar TVA from issuing a new policy which may be similar to the old policy. TVA needs all the friends it can secure as the Obama Administration suggests major changes including possible sale. This dress code issue is still in federal court and a fi nal decision has not been made. It is hard to explain why TVA ever embarked on such an infringement of free speech.

■ Special Justice Morris Kizer, former Knoxville city law direc-tor, will be one of fi ve persons to hear the John Hooker lawsuit attacking the current selection pro-cedure for state Supreme Court justices. It is set for July 19 at 1 p.m. CST in Nashville in the Supreme Court chambers. Kizer was appointed by Gov. Bill Haslam.

Knox County Republi-cans will gather at Foun-tain City Park from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, July 20, for the county-wide GOP picnic, hosted this year by the Halls Re-publican Club.

The event will feature activities for children along with badminton, croquet, horseshoes and live entertainment. A call has gone out for those wishing to show off their talents onstage for the

large crowd expected to attend.

West Knox Republican Club has scheduled its big annual family picnic and cake auction for 6 p.m. Monday, July 8, at Roth-child on Kingston Pike.

Elected officials and candidates for office will compete to see whose baked goods will raise the most money for party cof-fers. There will be games outside for children.

Something about the school board not being sub-ject to term limits is an itch other local politicians can’t stop trying to scratch.

“Why should they be above any other elected of-fi cial in the county?” asked Commissioner Mike Brown, one of the most persistent advocates of term limits for school board members.

In April, County Com-mission approved a reso-lution directing state Rep. Ryan Haynes (as chair of the legislative delegation) to ask the Legislature’s law-yers to fi gure out how term limits could be imposed on the school board. Last week Haynes reported back with the answer – and it wasn’t the one the commissioners hoped to hear.

“If we wanted to enact term limits, we’d have to change the general law,” Haynes said. “And that’s not going to pass the General Assembly. If you want to im-

Messing with the school board

plement it in Knox County, you have to have a rational basis as to why Knox Coun-ty should be singled out as the only county that can do this.”

But the commission-ers probably already knew this, because it was clearly spelled out in Jordan v. Knox County – the lawsuit fi led in 2007 by six county commissioners who wanted to overturn a state Supreme Court ruling that the 1994 term limits referendum was valid.

They succeeded locally, which allowed most of them to run for re-election that August. But they got shot down by the Court of Ap-peals, leading most people to believe that the argument

was over. Since then, many have taken exception to the school board’s non-term-limited status.

The document Haynes brought back cites the Jor-dan decision, which ruled that “general law of the state pre-empts the imposition of term limits for any school board member.”

His Nashville lawyers kept hope alive with a cou-ple of longshot possibilities: drawing up a term limits bill that applies only to school boards in counties with charter governments (Knox and Shelby), or devising a bill of local application for Knox County only. But the Nashville lawyers snatched those slim hopes away in the next paragraph:

“The Legislature shall have no power to suspend any general law for the ben-efi t of any particular indi-vidual, nor to pass any law for the benefi t of individuals inconsistent with the gen-

eral laws of the land.”Haynes sounded like he’s

ready to leave this issue alone.

“The Jordan decision said Knox County couldn’t bind the school board or the judiciary (with term limits). I’m happy to help, but their legal department could have told them the same thing I told them.”

But that doesn’t mean ef-forts to mess with the school board have ended.

Knox County Repub-lican Party chair Ruthie Kuhlman, in a recent let-ter to GOP club presidents, listed fi ve “core principles” to which GOP candidates should adhere:

1. Partisan school board races

2. Term limits for school board

3. County/city debt4. Elected superinten-

dent 5. Using local industries/

contractors.

What is the SAM system?

SAM stands for Senior Activity

Monitor. It is a system that has the

ability to constantly monitor various activities in almost any

environment. Each activity can then be reported via email, text, or

phone call to a loved one or other caregiver. A person’s activity, or lack

thereof, is a direct indicator of their well being. Of course, no system is a

replacement for actual care of another person, but the SAM system can

provide peace of mind during day to day routines.

Each system is customized for your specifi c needs.

Call us today to set up a free consultation where we can review your

concerns and design a SAM solution specifi cally for you!

One of the true iconic eateries of several decades ago was the Frontier House on Kingston Pike.

And for the locals, it was often used as a landmark to identify other Kingston Pike establishments. It was also known as the “Farra-gut Country Club” because most of the clientele knew each other and gathered there regularly to social-ize. To that extent, it was very similar to an English Pub or German guest haus.

It was initially oper-ated by John Lee McCarter who hired Marie Turner as manager. John purchased the building in 1959 from Barbara Osborne who, along with her mother and aunt, ran it as a tea house. When John took the plunge, he knew very little about the restaurant business, and I am sure he never envisioned the suc-cess he would have in that venture.

“In 1959, the entire area was very rural,” John re-calls, “and it was so far out in the country our vendors wouldn’t even deliver sup-plies to us. We regularly had to go into Bearden or Knoxville to get our sup-plies. There were not many restaurants out this far, and the vendors didn’t feel it was worth coming out here to service such a small number.”

When John first opened the place, he had a four-member band that played on Friday and Saturday nights in the back room. We lived very near the es-

tablishment and on any given weekend night, we would often get a group of our neighbors together and enjoy an evening of din-ing and dancing to a great band. The band members were Charley Baker on sax-ophone and Jim Clayton on guitar. The other two members were Mel Hines and Ronnie Anderson, and I cannot remember which instruments they played.

After several years, John was ready to “enjoy life” again and decided to sell. At about that time, his brother, Charlie, returned from California and John offered him the opportu-nity to take over the reins. “It was an opportunity I just couldn’t pass up,” said Charlie. “And besides, I knew John would be there to offer advice if I needed him.”

The menu offered good Southern country cook-ing such as fried chicken and country ham, but the real winner was the “Char-lie burger.” As a connois-seur of hamburgers, I can honestly say that it was a burger that had no equal – a large piece of prime ground beef smothered in fried onions with all the trimmings. The exhaust fan also played an impor-tant role because if you drove by with your car windows down and caught the aroma, you were sure to turn around and enjoy a “Charlie burger.”

Two of the many factors that contributed to Char-lie’s success were a great

Remembering the Frontier House

sense of humor and a gen-uine concern for people. The children loved Charlie, and many of the kids that first came with their par-ents brought their children when they became parents. On their closing night, a group of good friends gath-ered to bid Charlie and his wife, Faye, farewell. Faye remembers that some of the children cried.

Although the establish-ment sold beer, the Mc-Carters maintained strict discipline and if someone got too loud they were asked to leave. John re-members one night he

threw a crew of people out who he knew to be truly bad people. John says he was sure they would come back after closing and van-dalize the place. “I spent most of the night on the roof with a shotgun,” says John, “but they never came back.”

Charlie’s sense of humor caused him to tell about two regulars – Earl Hall and Jack Watson – who were having lunch there one day when an ambu-lance came by with its si-ren on. When they pulled the curtain back to see what was happening, there

was so much grease on the window that the sunlight shining through the glass caused a rainbow effect. Earl turned to Jack and said, “I know why Charlie has to charge so much for the ‘Charlie burger,’ he has to pay for these stained -glass windows.”

The McCarters always supported the community events and organizations, particularly those that sponsored children’s ac-tivities. John recalls that he sponsored a little league baseball team called the Cardinals. But because they sold beer, the organiz-

ers would not allow him to use the Frontier House name on the uniform. John recalls that he just put his name on the uniform but that was just as good as using the Frontier House name. Everyone knew who John represented.

When Charlie sold the restaurant, the new own-ers assured him that ev-erything would remain the same – menu, personnel, etc. – but they decided to do considerable modifi-cations which apparently did not go over well with the clientele. And business dropped off almost im-mediately. I guess that is a good example of the old truism: “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”

Today, the Concord/Farragut community is blessed with an abundance of restaurants that offer a diversity of many ethnic cuisines, and I really en-joy the variety. But I still yearn for the ambience and friendliness of the Frontier House. And who knows, perhaps someday an es-tablishment will come up with a burger that rivals the “Charlie burger,” but as yet, I have not found one.

“Now is the judgment of this world; now the ruler of this world will be driven out. And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.”

He said this to indicate the kind of death he was to die.(John 12: 32-33 NRSV)

Once the light dawned in my head I could no longer not see it!

The church I have been attending since my marriage is a small church, pastored by a young smart-as-a-whip preacher who (as nearly as I can tell) hits a home run ev-ery Sunday morning.

I tell you that to explain that it is because of his en-grossing sermons that I had missed the import of the pic-ture and its caption.

Above the altar, behind the pulpit, is a picture of Je-sus. That is not unusual in churches. However, under-neath this particular picture

Heavy lifting

is the verse I quoted above, in a slightly different transla-tion: “I, if I be lifted up, will draw all men unto me.”

It is one of my favorite verses because it makes me believe that God’s love and grace are powerful enough, and big enough, and com-prehensive enough, and for-giving enough to gather us all in. All. All of us. A lot of

people disagree with me on that point, and that is their privilege, but that is what I believe.

And, in my own defense, I missed the larger mean-ing because the Gospel writ-er said what he thought it meant: “He said this to indi-cate the kind of death he was to die.” Okay, so that is what I have always thought that comment intended to say. Je-sus was predicting his meth-od of execution: lifted up on a cross, in one of the most hideous forms of torture the Romans could concoct.

But as I sat in church last Sunday, I read those words again, looked at the picture

of Jesus’ face, and my heart heard a completely different message. It stopped me in my mental tracks.

“If I be lifted up….”And who will lift up Jesus?

Me? You? The church? Who?The questions kept fl ood-

ing my soul. What have I done or said recently that lifted up Jesus? Have I wor-shipped him? Adored him? Have I done anything to show my Savior to a hurting, hungry world?

Then the questions got harder.

Have I obeyed him? Have I followed him?

And harder still: Can any-

one see any glimmer of Jesus in my life? What have I done or said that brought him down, instead of lifting him up?

We sing the great hymn “Lift High the Cross,” and it never fails to stir my heart.

But what if we – you and I – lifted up the Christ in-stead? By our actions, our words, our listening, our faith, our constancy, can we lift him up, so that all the world may see and know that “he is Lord of Lords and King of Kings”? (Revelation 17:14) Can we lift him up so that he can draw all men and women unto himself?

O Lord, let it be so.

Against the backdrop of Tennessee’s three-fourths of one point and the excit-ing tie for 77th place in NCAA track and fi eld, I of-fer this brief insight into how things used to be.

“What the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve.”

That was one of Napo-leon Hill’s hallmark expres-sions. It applies to Chuck Rohe.

If you never heard of Hill, you can look him up – Pound, Va., author, journal-ist, attorney, philosopher.

If you don’t know about Rohe, you missed a magnif-icent chapter in Volunteer history.

Because I believe in miracles, I have sometimes wondered if Rohe was one.

Website to honor Chuck Rohe

He seemingly came out of nowhere, with boundless energy and maybe genius intellect, took over a Ten-nessee track team that was below zero, somehow as-sembled an array of cham-pion athletes, drove them relentlessly and collected a cluster of trophies, medals and ribbons.

His Vols routed South-eastern Conference foes, trampled them so badly some schools were embar-

rassed. Programs were upgraded in self-defense. Some, including Alabama, were forced to build a track. Football funded it. Paul “Bear” Bryant resented that.

Because track coaches didn’t get paid much back then, Rohe added a second job, football recruiting co-ordinator for Doug Dickey. Chuck is directly linked to Richmond Flowers and Chip Kell. His concept of dual-sport stars led to Karl Kremser, Willie Gault, Ron Widby and Condredge Hol-loway.

Chuck didn’t stay long at Tennessee, 1962-1971, but long enough to go 87-10 in dual meets and win an as-tonishing 21 consecutive SEC titles – indoor, out-door and cross-country. Six

times his teams fi nished in the NCAA top 10. He was once national coach of the year. He served on the U.S. Olympic Committee.

He went on to more re-warding things, with Char-ley Coffey to Virginia Tech, into event promotion with Pace Management and on to Orlando to resurrect the Tangerine Bowl and lead it to fancy new names, great TV ratings and signifi cant riches.

Rohe ventured into the World Football League as an owner and administrator but we won’t go there. That he was actually able to sell his franchise may have been an-other miracle.

In semi-retirement, he is executive vice president and national director of Nike Coach of the Year Clinics. Each year they attract more than 10,000 football coaches to 20 sites across America. President of that project is a

familiar name, John Majors.Rohe’s former track and

fi eld Vols have been search-ing for a way to honor their coach and say thank you for leadership at a crucial time in their lives. They didn’t like some of it at the time but they cherish it and him now.

Remember: What the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve. “In our pursuit to preserve the legacy and history of the Rohe era, we will build a web-site,” said former distance runner Coppley Vickers.

It will be a repository for old Vols to post formal ex-pressions of appreciation, adventure stories, tall tales and maybe a few lies. Dr. Tom Scott of shot put fame will do the defi nitive audio/video history, Rohe reminiscing. Former UT sports informa-tion director Bud Ford will create a records section with times, heights and distances

of distinction.There will be a keepsake

photo album, even the classic Bill Dyer cartoon of the Vols pushing the team bus when it ran out of gas.

Rohe’s motivational slo-gans will be treated as trea-sures.

One of my long-ago de-scriptions of the coach might get into an obscure corner: “Chuck Rohe was and is a poster person for the power of positive thinking. He loves life, doesn’t want to miss any and drags reluctant others along for the joy ride. Always up before the crack of dawn, he has stretched the truth as needed and greeted each morning with ‘What a day!’”

That might be good enough for the website. May-be I’ll have a little talk with the planning committee. I know those guys.Marvin West invites reader reaction. His

A-8 • JUNE 17, 2013 • HALLS/FOUNTAIN CITY Shopper news internsMadeline and Mitchell are back

Two of last summer’s interns have joined the group this year, both returning during the second week:

Madeline Lonas is a sophomore at the L&N

STEM Academy, and this is her third year as an intern with the Shopper News.

She enjoys volunteering with Redeeming Hope Ministries’ Urban Garden Experiment and helps out at Planned Parenthood of Middle and East Ten-

nessee as a senior peer advisor. After high school, Madeline plans to study law, mathematics and political science at the University of Tennessee.

Mitchell Zavadil will be a sophomore at

Farragut High School in the fall. This is his sec-ond year in the intern program,

and he enjoys classic rock including Ozzy Osbourne. He said he is very excited to be a Shopper intern again.

The ‘know it all’ at Knoxville Zoo

By Sara BarrettThe Shopper News in-

terns took a “walk on the east side” last week during a visit with a feathered resident of the Knoxville Zoo, a trip to TDOT’s traffi c management center, lunch at local trea-sure Chandler’s Restaurant and a tour of Beck Cultural

Exchange Center … with a couple of stops in between.

Shopper News publisher Sandra Clark, photogra-pher Ruth White and re-porter Sara Barrett dem-onstrated note taking, photography and keeping both feet firmly on the ground (sorry, Sandra).

If you have only 30 minutes to spend at one of Knoxville’s most beloved tourist attractions, what is the one thing to see?

According to Tina Rolen and Nikki Edwards from the Knoxville Zoo, Congo African Grey Parrot Einstein is the “go to” bird for all

things comical and entertaining.Edwards, the zoo’s lead train-

er and presenter of shows, said Einstein can repeat about 85 sounds on command and knows hundreds more from his sur-roundings. Only one of four par-rots like Einstein can talk, and

he is a popular feature of the “Animals in Action” show held daily at the zoo.

The interns called out differ-ent animals for Einstein to mimic including a chimpanzee and an el-ephant, although the 26-year-old parrot just replied with the word

“Afl ac” when Edwards asked what would make him feel safe if he saw a herd of elephants coming his way.

Rolen, the zoo’s assistant di-rector of marketing, also gave the group a scoop on a new exhibit opening in July: the Williams

Family Giraffe Experience will allow zoo visitors to get up close with giraffes and feed them by hand. Details to come.

Rolen said the zoo sees 400,000 visitors each year. “The only other attraction in Knoxville that brings in more people is UT football.”

The interns visit the TDOT traffi c management center to see the city from a diff erent perspective. Pictured are: Joshua Mode, Tay-

lor Smith, Sarah Dixon, Madeline Lonas, Gibson Calfee, Lindsey Sanders, Paul Brooks, Laura Beeler, Mitchell Zavadil, Zoe Risley,

Mark Nagi of the Tennessee

Department of Transportation

Traffi c with TDOTAfter a quick sprint to

the car, the group headed to TDOT’s Region 1 headquar-ters at Strawberry Plains for a crash course (no pun intended) in traffi c moni-toring.

Community relations of-fi cer Mark Nagi gave the in-terns access to a restricted area where a wall of 18 fl at-screen televisions and three operators keep all eyes on traffi c fl ow throughout Knox County.

Dean Roberts (his Twit-ter account says he provides IT support for the Intelli-gent Transportation System here in town) said there are similar systems in Chatta-nooga, Memphis and Nash-ville. This one opened in May of 2005.

Roberts said the moni-toring system includes 50 miles of fi ber optic network, and it took $20 million to complete. He said that is small potatoes compared to the cost of building more lanes on interstates. For in-stance, the SmartFix proj-ect downtown cost $100 million to construct 9/10 of a mile of roadway.

The cameras are real-time only, Roberts said. TDOT does not record traffi c. “We try to identify things before they become real problems,” said Roberts. TDOT runs the system 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

He wants everyone to “know before you go” by checking TDOT’s website or by calling 511 for the latest traffi c alerts.

Driving through BurlingtonBefore grabbing lunch, the troupe

travelled through a once-bustling area of town that now only has emp-ty buildings and broken signs where thriving businesses once stood.

“Burlington has lost the residential base necessary to sustain the now-shut-

tered businesses,” said Sandra Clark.City leaders “talk a lot about it but

have no concrete plans to help,” Dep-uty Mayor Bill Lyons said in response to an inquiry. “Someone has to put in an initial investment for the city to help with infrastructure,” he said.

Talkative teenagers looked qui-etly at the empty buildings as they rode passed houses overgrown with weeds and outdated strip malls with nothing in them.

“This is sad, really sad,” said Gibson Calfee.

Chowing down at Chandler’s

Chandler’s Deli on Magnolia Photo by Ruth White

By Ruth WhiteChandler’s isn’t the big-

gest restaurant in town, but it’s worth the wait in line to eat some of the tastiest com-fort food in East Tennessee.

During a recent football season when ESPN came to town for College Game Day, the crew polled students at UT to fi nd out their favor-ite Knoxville eating place. Chandler’s won hands down, so the crew spent three days visiting the establishment and ordering food for the day. Unknown to the Chan-dlers, the crew was sampling the menu before returning on day four to reveal their intentions. Chandler’s Deli

was featured on College Game Day and the popular-ity of the restaurant soared.

It’s not hard to under-stand why they are packed at lunchtime or why they have won numerous awards for having the Best Com-fort Food, Best Soul Food and Best Meat and Three in town. The portions are hearty, and one bite will take you back to a place of warm fuzzy memories. While visiting the restau-rant, I tried the rotisserie chicken, homemade mac and cheese and a yeast roll. Everything tasted just like it was prepared – with fresh ingredients and a lot of love.

By Gibson CalfeeChandler’s Deli is an in-

teresting restaurant with a lot of history. It all started in 1997 when Gwen Chandler got laid off from the Levi’s factory in Knoxville because they were relocating.

Then in 2000, Gwen’s husband Charles H. Chan-dler retired from his job at K-25. They wanted to do something else for which-they both had a passion: cooking. Thus, Chandler’s was born.

A visit to Chandler’sCharles Chandler said

“Without her, Gwen, there would be no Chandler’s.”

Since its opening on May 19, 2000, Chandler’s Deli has had many special guests come and enjoy the South-ern-style cooking. Guests

have included former Green Bay Packer Raleigh McKen-zie, Tennessee football play-er Eric Berry, former Ten-nessee football coach Derek Dooley, Gov. Bill Haslam and former “Voice of the Vols” John Ward.

The museum at Beck

By Madeline LonasBeing the largest Afri-

can-American organization in East Tennessee, you can imagine why Beck Cultural Exchange Center is a ma-jor tourist attraction. The house in which most of the artifacts are held is over 125 years old. Throughout the building you see many dif-ferent artifacts, paintings, and other knick-knacks that tell a story of African-Amer-ican history.

Beck is home to more than 10,000 pictures and drawings. The newest is a hand-drawn timeline in-cluding famous African Americans from the 1800s

to modern times. The time-line is black and white with just pictures.

Artist Allen Jones asked Beck organizers if they wanted him to identify the subjects and their time periods. The folks at Beck told him no, that they had a strong feeling every-one would know who they were.

Tour guide Timothy Vass-er’s favorite showcase is in a room full of paintings and drawings. One glass case is full of artifacts from the time of slavery, showcas-ing the equipment used on disobedient slaves. The case includes a neck yoke, a face

mask, shackles, ball and chains, and locks. All were made of metal and used on the slaves. The terrifying stories he told us of how the equipment was used on the slaves were heart-wrench-ing. Vasser said the slaves just wanted what everyone else wanted, rights and a house, to not be owned by someone else and to not be treated poorly. You could tell he was an expert on this.

For everyone with chil-dren, or an eye for history, the Beck Center provides a very fun, educational tour that’s free. Instead if a va-cation, it could be a stay-cation.

After some sweet Southern food at Chandler’s, the group headed to Dandridge Avenue to see the sculpture of internationally known author Alex Haley, located in Haley Heritage Square directly across from Morningside Park.

The roots of our heritageBy Joshua Mode

Whenever you think of African-American history, who do you think of? One person that might come to mind is Alex Haley.

Alex Haley was born in New York, on Aug. 11, 1921, but he grew up with his family in Henning, Tenn. He later went into the Coast Guard for 20 years and was ranked petty offi cer fi rst-class, one of few openings African Americans had at the time.

During his time in the Coast Guard, Haley also taught himself the craft of

writing stories. It is said he was paid by other sail-ors to write love letters to their girlfriends. He re-tired from the Coast Guard in 1959.

In 1976, Haley pub-lished the best-selling nov-el “Roots: The Saga of an American Family,” which is a story about his family’s heritage going all the way back to Africa and their in-credible journey.

My dad is considered the “Alex Haley” of our fam-ily due to all his genealogy research. In a way, Haley inspired my dad. So as I

looked at the grand monu-ment to him, I could see how he has done so much for our country. He sparked the nation’s curiosity to fi nd their heritage again and see who they once were.

This monument stands for many things. Aside from breaking boundaries in being the second-tallest African-American monu-ment in the world, it also is a tribute to fi nding your roots, and daring to try an adventure.

In the words of Alex Haley, “Find the good and praise it.”

After a visit to the Alex Haley statue and Morn-ingside Park, the interns stopped at Beck Cultural Exchange Center to learn about the history of local African-Americans.

The facility has more than 5,000 square feet with archives that include pic-tures, books, artifacts and DVDs. The original model of the Alex Haley statue is housed there.

Beck archivist and tour guide Timothy Vasser showed us a number of original works by local Af-rican-American artists and several pieces of memora-bilia from Knoxville’s segre-gation era. There were also some very sobering items from America’s slavery pe-riod.

“Overseas, slavery wasn’t about color,” said Vasser. “If you lost the battle, you became a slave. It did not become about color until (slavery) came to America.”

Vasser said the most im-portant exhibit in the cen-

ter’s collection is a group of authentic slave restraints that include a ball and chain, an iron collar and a face mask.

Vasser told the interns about a recent visitor who had just come from the Un-derground Railroad Muse-um in Ohio and commented that they should have vis-ited Beck fi rst, because the collection of slavery arti-facts was so impressive.

The second fl oor of the center includes many items from Knoxville native Wil-

liam Hastie Jr., a judge and public educator who, Vasser said, always told people he was a native “Knoxvillian” even long after he moved from the area.

Vasser said donations are needed for the center to continue to thrive. Together, Knox County and the city of Knoxville give Beck about $100,000 annually. The in-terns witnessed fi rsthand the expenses that can arise when Vasser said the air conditioning was not cur-rently working.

By Roxanne AbernathyThe Beck Cultural Ex-

change Center, founded in 1975, is a museum of art and history for Afri-can-American culture, also focusing on dif-ferent parts of the civil rights movement. Many pictures are displayed in

what was once the Beck house.

The Becks were a couple living in Knoxville dur-ing the time of segrega-tion, from the 1920s to the 1960s. Most of the original house is still standing.

Beck has many differ-ent rooms with exhib-

its, including local and modern artists and other historical material. The center is able to continue operating because of do-nations from the com-munity of both time and money. Some fundraising is currently being planned for the summer.

Make it a stay-cation at Beck

Coming up ... Week three: ‘Farragut Play Day’In week three the interns will visit the Concord Park Par 3 golf course for some lessons

By Wendy SmithPersistence paid off when A.L.

Lotts Elementary School teacher Karla Fultz entered Oak Ridge As-sociated Universities’ Extreme Class-room Makeover for the third time. She won $25,000 to spend on tech-nology for her 5th grade classroom.

Karla Fultz prepares for a makeoverConnecting students with technology tools

I’m so glad you’re here, now

we know what we’re missing;

Technology is something we

shouldn’t be dismissing.

I want to use the tools of

my generation;

Connecting to the world will

“Gangnam Style” rap written by Karla Fultz for ORAU’s Extreme Classroom Makeover contest

Last week, Fultz’s classroom was shrouded with black plastic for Camp Invention. But the room will soon un-dergo another transformation as the equipment she has purchased is in-stalled. At the end of July, ORAU will host an Extreme Classroom Makeover “reveal” party for last year’s students and their families.

Fultz is excited, but also over-whelmed. She plans to devote much of her time over the next few weeks to learning how to use the new equip-ment. She may not be savvy when it comes to electronics, but her creativity shines through in the video she wrote for the ORAU contest, which is on the consortium’s website.

The video tells the story of a new student being introduced to the class during a science lesson. Technology, one of the students says, is anything that makes life easier, like a tooth-brush or a pencil. The new student asks if the classroom has any examples of technology from this century, then launches into a rap in a “Gangnam Style” video takeoff.

Fultz regrets that the students who worked so hard on the video won’t get to use the new equipment. But she’s happy that most will attend West Valley Mid-dle School, which is one of 11 schools that will pilot Knox County’s one-to-one technology effort (one technology device for each stu-dent) this fall.

Before choosing equipment, Fultz sought the advice of two previous

Extreme Classroom Makeover win-ners. Rocky Hill Elementary 5th grade teacher Jordan Haney won the prize in 2010, and he suggested that Fultz pur-chase a variety of devices for students to use, rather than 24 of the same thing. She chose a mix of notebook computers and tablets will with rotate students throughout the year, and she thinks the variety will keep students engaged.

She also observed how Heather Burkhart, a 5th grade teacher at Pi-geon Forge Middle School, utilizes one-to-one technology. Burkhart, who won the makeover in 2012, constantly assesses her students, which enables her to monitor learning, Fultz says.

Fultz considered spending a chunk of her budget on a new active board, but opted instead to purchase a 70-inch fl at-screen television equipped with Apple TV. Each electronic device in the classroom will be able to com-municate with the television.

She has much to learn, but she’s very motivated to reach

her students, who are often bored at school and anx-ious to get home

so they can use technology there. Work-ing on computers in the

classroom will keep students inter-ested, and also help them prepare for future jobs, she says.

In addition to motivating students, Fultz hopes to make ORAU proud. The consortium wants to see if having

Karla Fultz visits with Ben Keziah, Jared Watkins,

Olivia Knowling and Kylie Stooksbury during

Camp Invention last week. Keziah, Watkins and

Stooksbury were in her 5th grade class last year.

Knowling will be a 5th grader at A.L. Lotts this fall.

Karla Fultz, a 5th grade teacher at A.L. Lotts Elementary School, is excited but

overwhelmed about learning to use new devices that will soon be installed in

her classroom. She received $25,000 to spend on technology from ORAU’s Ex-

treme Classroom Makeover contest this spring. Photos by Wendy Smith

technology in the classroom makes a difference in student learning, and she wants her students’ test scores to show that it does, she says.

A. L. Lotts principal Adam Parker will also have an eye on the students in Fultz’s class.

“As we watch the technology class-room environment unfold, it can give us some insight as to how we may be

able to better approach a one-to-one environment effectively as it relates to delivering curriculum,” he says.

Her summer vacation will be short-er than usual, but next month’s “re-veal” will be the culmination of a lot of hard work – and a lot of fun – for Fultz.

“It’s been a really special year for all of us,” she says. “It’s something we’ll never forget.”

open in Halls and folks are glad to hear it. With eight knowledgeable employees on staff, the store is ready to meet customer needs from car cleaners to crankshafts and everything in between. This is the 10th store to open in the Knoxville area.

“People were driving to the store on Emory from the Halls area,” said district manager Dave Davis. “We opened the new store in Halls for customer convenience.”

Many in the Halls com-munity are pleased that the company chose to re-model the old Blockbuster Video building rather than starting from the ground up. Employees at O’Reilly say the company always at-tempts to use existing build-ings whenever possible.

Two Rural/Metro ambu-lance teams have received special honors for providing expert pre-hospital care, and they were able to meet the pa-tients whose lives they saved.

On May 23, Rural/Metro paramedics Tasha Wise, Sar-ah Bickley and Jeffery Lam-parter, along with represen-tatives of the city of Knoxville Fire Department and Knox County Schools, were hon-ored with a Tennessee Emer-gency Medical Services for Children Star of Life Award for their quick action in sav-ing the life of a 14-year-old Central High School student.

In October 2012, Hunter Helton suddenly collapsed while running in the gym. A Central High School coach used an automated external defi brillator located at the school to restart his heart. KFD fi rst responders and Rural/Metro responded, and Rural/Metro transport-ed him to East Tennessee Children’s Hospital quickly, providing expert emergency care en route. This quick ac-tion saved his life.

“The Rural/Metro team’s expertise and our seamless teamwork with Knox County Schools and the Knoxville

Fire Department saved a young man’s life last fall,” said Dennis Rowe, Rural/Metro market general man-ager. “I am proud of our hard-working men and women at Rural/Metro and our fi rst re-sponders who stand ready to step in at any moment in the case of a medical emergency.”

The Star of Life Award is given annually to honor out-standing EMS professionals from across Tennessee who provide life-saving care on the front lines. At the cere-mony, Helton helped present the award to the team who saved his life.

On May 30, another Ru-ral/Metro ambulance team was honored by a patient at UT Medical Center. UT Medi-cal Center hosted a recep-tion where paramedics Ryan Morris and Tasha Wise were reunited with John Sharp, a North Knox resident who sur-vived a near fatal car accident.

In February 2012, Sharp was severely injured in a car accident which tore the top portion of his heart, a condition that is one of the top three causes of death in trauma injuries. Sharp was unconscious while being transported to UT Medical

Center and did not remem-ber his pre-hospital caregiv-ers. He felt it was important to meet them and express his appreciation. At the UT Med-ical Center ceremony, Sharp thanked Morris and Wise and presented them with a special gift to honor them for saving his life.

“Often, our paramedics never get to meet the patients whose lives were saved by their actions,” said Rowe. “It is wonderful for our teams to have the opportunity to meet with patients like John Sharp and Hunter Helton after they have returned to health. Their vibrant lives are a pow-

Recital at Crown Music ConservatoryZai Let Ningnye, a 4th-grader at Temple Baptist Academy, plays a piece on the piano

during the Crown Music Conservatory Spring recital on May 4. Students from the com-

munity exhibited their talents and skills. The conservatory is entering its eighth year of

providing quality instrumental and vocal instruction for all ages. For more information

or to enroll in music lessons, call 938-8186.

On May 24, Temple Baptist Academy held its 36th annual high school graduation ceremony. Family and friends gath-ered for the special occa-sion to show their support for this year’s senior class.

Congratulations Class of 2013!

Valedictorian Alex Hwang

with his mother, Carol

Hwang.

Graduates Brittany James and Isabell Helget sing “Leave a Legacy.”

Salutatorian Micah Houston

delivers a speech during the

Temple Baptist Academy

graduation ceremony.

As the graduates en-tered the auditorium of Temple Baptist Church to

the sounds of “Pomp and Circumstance,” a sense of accomplishment could be seen on their faces. Principal David Whitaker began the ceremony with a greeting, and Vice Prin-cipal Tim Missey led an opening prayer.

Valedictorian Alex Hwang addressed the audience and his fellow classmates. He recount-ed some of the many memories he made while attending the Academy since kindergarten.

Alex noted, “Only as we live for Christ can we reach satisfaction and know that the life we live is not in vain.”

Alex will be attending UT this fall to pursue a degree in science with plans to go into the med-ical field.

Salutatorian Micah Houston refl ected on those who infl uenced his life. He expressed his gratitude to God for fam-ily, faculty and friends who invested in him and

encouraged him by mak-ing his education possible.

He told his fellow graduates, “Our indi-vidual paths will diverge from here, but the foun-dation of a solid Chris-tian education has been laid as we’re going for-ward as ambassadors for Christ.”

Micah will also be at-tending UT this fall.

Dr. Clarence Sexton, pastor of Temple Baptist Church, was the com-mencement speaker. He spoke to graduates about living a God-guided, dis-ciplined life that brings one freedom and direc-tion. Sexton reminded

the graduates of the gift of education they have received and that the graduation ceremony is not an ending, but a new beginning—an opportu-nity to continue in their pursuit of God and His will for their lives. Sex-ton exhorted the class to develop a philosophy

of life that grows out of knowing God.

The graduates of Tem-ple High School’s class of 2013 are excited about their future and are ea-ger to build on the foun-dation they received while attending Temple Academy.

Many of the students from this year’s class plan to pursue a college educa-tion in a variety fi elds.

On May 7, Temple High School student athletes were treated to a special year-end awards banquet on the campus of Crown College. Temple athletic director Michael Scoggins, along with coaches and assistant coaches, recognized the many special individual and team accomplishments from the 2012-13 school year.

After battling kidney cancer since 2008, Ronald Myers of Maryville, 68, was on his way to a University of Tennessee football game in November of 2011 when his wife, Angela, realized something else was wrong.

“I was opening the tru k of the car, look-ing for something, and I guess I looked funny, because my wife said, ‘What’s wrong with you?’ ”

His face was numb, and his vision burry. After several doctors’ visits and tests, My-ers was told the cancer had spread to his brain, called a metastasis.

“About 20 to 40 percent of all cancers will eventually spread to the brain,” explained Dr. Joseph T. Meyer, a ra-diation oncologist at Fort Sanders Regional Medi-cal Center and Thompson Cancer Survaval Center and one of Myers’ physi-cians. “Brain metastases have become more com-mon as better treatments

allow patients to live longer with cancer.” Physicians at Fort Sanders have several

options for treating brain metastases, typi-cally using a combination of procedures.

“We have a team of neurosurgeons, ra-diation oncologists, radiation physicists and nurses who work together to evaluate patients and determine the best treatment for each one,” said Dr. Meyer. “We indi-vidualize the treatment based on each per-son’s situation.”

First, Myers had traditional brain sur-

gery with Dr. David Hauge, a neurosur-geon, in November of 2011.

But after that, several other lesions arose. Myers had a choice between receiv-ing whole-brain radiation, in which the whole brain receives treatment, or Gamma Knife radiosurgery, in which only the tu-

mors are targeted. Whole-brain radiation is more ef-fective at preventing new tu-mors, but there are serious side effects.

“In whole brain radia-tion, there’s hair loss, skin irritation, fatigue and effects on neurocognitive func-tion. Mr. Myers wanted to avoid those side effects, so he chose the Gamma Knife,” said Dr. Meyer.

The Leksell Gamma Knife Perfexion surgical system at Fort Sanders targets only the brain cancer cells, with-out damaging nearby tissue. The Perfexion system is the most advanced and precise radiosurgical system in the world. It is one of 30 in the nation and the only one in East Tennessee.

“The Gamma Knife is the latest technology avail-able, and we have the most precise tool of all,” said Dr. Meyer.

While it is used to treat other brain disorders, in-

creasingly the Gamma Knife system is be-ing used to treat metastatic brain tumors that are inoperable with traditional sur-gery.

Myers underwent Gamma Knife proce-dures in February and October of 2012.

The non-invasive treatment involves no cutting and takes about two to six hours. Local anesthesia is applied while a light-weight helmet is secured to the skull, to hold the patient still during treatment.

The patient feels nothing unusual dur-ing the procedure.

“It’s not painful at all,” said Myers. “But you just have to understand that any time your body absorbs radiation, you end up weak for a few days. It does take you a few days to get over it.”

As with anyone who undergoes a Gam-ma Knife procedure, Myers will continue to be monitored periodically for new brain lesions. But he said he would recommend Fort Sanders Regional for anyone facing the diffi cult situation of a brain metastasis.

“The whole experience, as far as I’m concerned, is absolutely the best,” Myers said. “The two doctors who run it are great people, and the nurses were wonderful too, so kind. My experience was great.

“There’s no doubt in my mind Dr. Hauge and Dr. Meyer saved my life,” he added. “I can’t say enough good things about them.”

NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

The world’s most comprehensive and precise treatment for brain cancer and other brain tumors is the Leksell Perfexion Gamma Knife. And the only center in Tennessee with this life-changing treatment is in Knoxville at the Fort Sanders Regional Gamma Knife Center located at Thompson Cancer Survival Center.

Treatment takes one day, not multiple sessions. Recovery time is quick…most patients go home the same day. But the best part, our patients tell us, is there is no “surgery”…. no incision, no anesthesia. It’s about returning to family, friends and living life as soon as possible.

Gamma Knife technology has treated thousands and is considered the Gold Standard1 in the treatment of malignant and benign brain tumors, vascular malformations in the brain and other brain disorders. No other radiosurgery system is more precise with less total radiation to the body.

For more information about Gamma Knife radiosurgery call (865) 541-4000 or visit fsregional.com/gammaknife

Brain Surgery without the “Surgery” Gamma Knife Radiosurgery

0006-0019

Targeted approach to treating metastatic brain cancer

“The whole experience, as far as I’m concerned, is absolutely the best.”

Brain surgery without the ‘surgery’The Leksell Gamma Knife

Perfexion machine has treated nearly 340 patients since com-ing to Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center in 2011. And both physicians and patients are delighted with the results. “I continue to be amazed by the tumor reduction we receive us-ing gamma knife technology,” says Dr. David H. Hauge, Medi-cal Director of the Fort Sanders Gamma Knife Center.

Using the Gamma Knife ra-diosurgery sys-tem requires a team effort. “We have both neu-rosurgeons and radiation oncol-ogists together in the pretreat-ment evaluation, as well as the actual proce-dure. Specially-

trained radiation physicists and nurses also help ensure a safe and pleasant experience for the patient,” explains Hauge.

Despite its name, the Gam-ma Knife is not really a “knife.” There’s no cutting, no anes-thesia and no hospitalization afterward. Radiation energy is targeted through the skull and into brain tumors, destroying

them while leaving healthy tis-sue unharmed in the process. Treatments can last less than two hours, and patients go home the same day.

Gamma Knife can also be used to treat a number of other brain disorders, like non-cancerous tumors of the pituitary gland, tu-mors of the ear or eye nerves, or malformations of the blood ves-sels in the brain.

Fort Sanders is an “open” center, meaning Gamma Knife credentialed and trained physi-cians in the area are welcome to use the technology. Six neu-rosurgeons and fi ve radiation oncologists from Knoxville area hospitals participate regularly at the Fort Sanders Gamma Knife Center.

The biggest benefi t of the Gamma Knife is its ability to treat multiple tumors at once, up to 15 or more. The Leksell Gam-ma Knife Perfexion is designed to allow treatment of multiple metastatic brain tumors de-veloped from primary cancers outside the brain such as lung, breast, ovarian, colorectal, kid-ney and melanoma.

The Gamma Knife is much safer than other radiosurgical tools for brain tumors because it does not expose the rest of the

brain or body to radiation. “We can deliver the treatment with pinpoint preci-sion,” explains Fort Sanders’ n e u r o s u r g e o n Dr. Joel Nor-man. “When you’re delivering radiation to the brain, particu-larly around the

brain stem or optic nerves that control eyesight, precision is ev-erything.”

Dr. Hauge agrees. “In a recent study, Gamma Knife was shown to deliver far less radiation to the rest of the body outside the brain than any other currently avail-able cranial radiosurgical tech-nology.”

However, while the Gamma Knife is one of a kind in the area, it is not a cure for everything. Some tumors of the brain will still need traditional surgery. “Gamma Knife adds another treatment option for patients with brain cancers or other non-cancerous abnormalities in the brain,” says Dr. Norman.

Center, call 865-541-4000.

some trust issues. They won't be suitable for children

Adoption fee is $100 each.

And there will still be plenty of critters! This col-umn loves animals and al-ways will. So don’t worry – there are lots of creature features still to come.

But for now, let’s meet one of those interesting people mentioned earlier. She’s a professional musi-cian and has been since she was straight out of college. And in the past few years, she’s discovered another true calling.

West Knox resident Jill

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes

Bartine, originally from Hou-ma, La., has played fl ute with the Knoxville Symphony Or-chestra since 2000. She also sings and plays fl ute and tin whistle with local Irish band Red-Haired Mary.

She started on her in-strument in the 5th grade, but didn’t really get serious about it until she met famed composer/conductor Alfred Reed during an honor band experience in high school. He steered her toward Northwestern University in Chicago, long recognized as one of the country’s top music schools, where she received her bachelor’s de-gree. After completing her master’s degree at UT, she auditioned for and won a position with the KSO.

Of her role in the orches-tra, Bartine says, “I actually love playing second fl ute as opposed to being the star. When I sing, I naturally gravitate toward lower har-monies, so I guess the same holds true for me on the fl ute. And I’m a detailed-oriented person and player, so I do a good job at paying attention to the principal player and enjoy the chal-lenge of trying to match.”

Busy as she already was with her music, in 2002 she walked into The Rush and had a life-changing experi-ence. She discovered yoga.

“It was pretty much love at fi rst sight,” she says. “It was the only type of exercise

I’d ever done that didn’t feel like exercise. It made me feel extremely powerful, yet peaceful at the same time.”

Over the years Bartine, who dislikes exercise and says she’s never been “a fi tness person,” contin-ued with occasional yoga classes. In the back of her mind was the idea that she might teach yoga one day. But she describes herself as “not naturally fl exible,” and didn’t think she had what it takes. Besides, her music career and the arrival of twin boys Noah and Owen, now 9, kept her mind on other things.

Along the way, a yoga teacher at the Y calmed her “infl exible” fears and ad-vised her that “there was more to teaching yoga than being able to put your foot behind your head.”

In the summer of 2011, she took the plunge and enrolled in The Glowing Body’s 200-hour intensive program. For two weekends each month, she spent 10-hour days practicing poses, learning anatomy, reading and writing about all aspects of yoga. When she received her certifi cation, the jobs started falling right into her lap – fi rst at The Practice, then at The Glowing Body and Real Hot Yoga.

Social media-wise, she is now “Flutist Yogini” (look for her on Facebook.) She summarizes her yogic style as “fl ow, or ‘vinyasa,’ which coordinates breath and movement. Depending on my audience, sometimes it’s on the gentler side, some-times it’s full-on hard-core power yoga. But in all my classes, I strive to make the practice challenging, yet ac-cessible.”

She’s reaped countless benefi ts from her own yoga practice. Her allergies are gone, she has better breath control in fl ute playing, and she is “no longer a worrier.” She’s also gained a half-inch in height.

Bartine stresses that people of all ages and abili-ties can benefi t from yoga, and that “you can even do it in a chair.” She’ll soon be-gin teaching classes at Your Journeys, a PTSD recovery program in Knoxville. Info: http://www.yourjourneys.net/#!ptsd-101/cp86.

As for the foot-behind-the-head issue, she laughs, “I’ll never be able to do that!” For Bartine, what re-ally matters is sharing the richness of yoga with oth-ers. “I absolutely love teach-ing yoga!”Send your story suggestions to news@
