Burchett sets area meetings
Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett will host 10 constit-uent meetings during October and November to give citizens the opportu-nity to speak individually with him about
issues that are important to them. These meetings are open to the public.
In North Knox County, he will be at the Corryton Senior Center from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. Monday, Nov. 3; Halls Senior Center, 4-5 p.m. Friday, Nov. 14; and Fountain City Libra ry, 11 to noon, Monday, Nov. 17.
Bids in on Harbison’s project
Bids are in for the TDOT project to improve traffi c fl ow at the intersection of Emory Road and Tazewell Pike, and the price is over $5 million. Mark Nagi, TDOT spokesper-son, said it normally takes two to four weeks to review bids and let a contract.
“This is the four-way stop that is being improved and signalized,” he wrote in an email. “This project was in the Oct. 17 letting, and here are the apparent low bids. Over the next couple of weeks bids will be reviewed and a contract awarded. A schedule will be known following the pre-construction meeting, which normally takes place 2-4 weeks after the contract is awarded.”
The apparent low bidder was Charles Blalock & Sons Inc. at $5,196,569.50, fol-lowed by Highways Inc. at $5,814,344.40 and APAC-At-lantic Inc. at $7.7 million.

ementary School staff and parents were greeted by a festive theme of black and gold when they arrived for an elegant evening out at Beaver Brook Country Club.
The PTO-sponsored event was the fi rst fund-raiser of its kind for the school, but the group hopes to make it a yearly happening. The inaugural gala featured live music by Crab Apple Lane, dinner, dancing and a silent auc-tion.
“We have a lot of parents who tell us they are tired of selling things and would rather just write a check to the school,” said PTO fundraising chair Amanda Wright. “The gala gives

them an opportunity to do that while affording them a night out when they can dress up and be an adult.”
Items such as gift bas-kets, jewelry, art, chocolate
and even vacation trips valued at $10K were avail-able for bidding. Donations for the silent auction went so well that the PTO held some items over. These
will be set up at the school through Oct. 31. Those who wish to participate in this silent auction can view the items and place bids
during school hours.Who says being a PTO
member isn’t fun?

By Sandra ClarkThe Tennessee Depart-
ment of Transportation has responded favorably to the city’s request to allow addi-tional signage along I-640 near the Knoxville Center mall to make interstate mo-torists aware of the busi-nesses nearby.
City Council mem-ber Nick Della Volpe has championed the signs and is generally happy with TDOT’s response. He just wonders why it will take up to ni ne months to imple-ment the changes.
Della Volpe said Sam’s Club at East Towne is ready to rent logo space now. The store invested $8 million
for a major upgrade last fall. Della Volpe said Sam’s qual-ifi es for the logo signs be-cause it sells prepared food and gasoline onsite.
Knoxville City Council unanimously passed a res-olution Sept. 16 requesting TDOT to permit logo signs around Exit 8 near Knox-ville Center. TDOT cur-rently limits the use of logo signs to only the fi rst exits in and out of those munici-palities with populations greater than 100,000.
Commissioner John Schroer says TDOT initiat-ed a process to re-promul-gate the rules that govern this program. The rules will be fi nal Oct. 29, 2014.
“Once the rules are fi nal, and provided no changes occur which would impact this aspect of the program, you may consider the city of Knoxville as approved for the use of logo signs,” he wrote.
“All exits inside the city will have to be reviewed case by case basis to deter-mine if there is adequate room to place new logo signs. We would anticipate that process to begin once the new logo contract is in place on July 1, 2015.”
The council resolution said logo signs are neces-sary to provide the travel-ing public with directional information needed to
identify available services, “especially at exits where the nature of the road eleva-tions and surrounding veg-etation prevent reasonable visual evidence that such commercial services and business can be obtained.”
Della Volpe cites 100 independent businesses near Exit 8 providing some 2,000 jobs. He says busi-nesses are obscured by artifi cial earthen berms originally built to accom-modate crossover bridges.
ETBA to meet on Nov. 5The East Town Business
Alliance will meet at 8 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 5, at New
Harvest Park Community Center. Justin Sterling, president, invites all busi-ness owners and managers in the East Towne corridor to attend.
Adam Palmer, president of Saw Works Brewing Company, will discuss why his company chose to set up operations in Knoxville and the importance of hav-ing community support.

Knox mall inches closer to interstate signs
We haven’t heard much of that since that since August elections and Indya Kincannon’s depar-ture whittled McIntyre’s major-ity down to a 4-5 minority, and depending on the outcome of the Nov. 4 race to replace Kincannon, the former majority would prob-ably be well advised to start prac-ticing a new mantra.
New board member Amber Rountree has one:
“Go big or go home.”Rountree has requested a
called meeting to vote on abolish-ing SAT-10, an exam for kinder-garten through second grade that many educators feel is inappropri-ate. SAT-10 is not state-mandated, and board chair Mike McMillan is expected to honor her request. Rountree wants a vote before the tests are ordered.
Board member Karen Carson is expected to oppose Rountree’s
South Knox rep wants fewer tests in K-2
By Betty Bean In the recent past, when teach-
ers or parents asked for relief from Knox County Schools’ test-happy corporate reform regime, Super-intendent James McIntyre and the 8-to-1 school board majority that had his back would tell them to suck it up and get with the pro-gram.
Analysis
Rountree
School chant: ‘Change is hard’efforts. Carson said at last week’s mind- and butt-numbing fi ve-hour workshop that it’s the school board’s job to hire a su-perintendent and set goals. It’s the superintendent’s job to decide what
tests will be administered.But Rountree disagrees. She
quit her job as a school librarian to serve on the school board. Her South Knox constituents elected her, and she’s not been shy about saying how she feels about Mc-Intyre’s heavy-handed adminis-tration.
Rountree, Patti Bounds and Terry Hill have served notice that they intend to own future school board meetings. It’s unlikely that McIntyre’s lengthy, orchestrated
presentations will recur. County Commissioner Charles
Busler said last week that commis-sioners would never allow Mayor Tim Burchett, or any mayor, to sit at their table and control their meetings.
In fact, Burchett often stays in his offi ce, monitoring commis-sion meetings and making himself available if needed.
Change is hard.And we should expect change
for the Knox County Board of Education, starting this week with Amber Rountree’s effort to dis-continue high-stakes testing for kids who have not yet learned to read. Are we really that data-driv-en? And to what goal?
Will Rountree win the vote? Maybe yes, maybe no. But the message is clear: Go big or go home.
Yes, change is hard.
“Change is hard,” they’d say to tearful mothers telling of their children’s mounting test anxiety.
“Change is hard,” they’d tell teachers saddled with evalua-tions based on subjects they never taught.

By Courtney SheaAlva Bartlett Bundren
Jr. traveled the world dur-ing his outstanding military career, all the while keeping his hometown Knoxville in his heart. Bundren had an active four years at Central High School, participating in the hiking club, student council, basketball and hon-or society before graduating with the class of 1950.
After a year at the Uni-versity of Tennessee, he re-ceived his appointment to the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. Called “Bun-dy” by his classmates in Company D-2, he was noted for his “meaningful contri-bution to the maturity and sense of respect for others that we developed during those four years.” While at West Point, Al Bundren met New Jersey schoolteacher Valerie Ninnis, and they married shortly after his graduation in 1955.
He became an Army Ranger, helped write the U.S. plan for the defense of Korea and served two tours of duty in Vietnam. His fi rst Vietnam tour, ′64 to ′65, was in the back country as an adviser to a Vietnamese in-fantry battalion. His second tour, ′68 to ′69, was with the 1st Cavalry Division. Includ-ed in his many commenda-tions were the Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry with Gold Palm and the Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry with Gold Star, presented personally by the President of the Re-public of Vietnam. He was also awarded two Bronze

Stars for meritorious acts in combat.
Al Bundren continued his military career in com-mand and operations plan-ning while rearing four chil-dren with his wife, Val. In
1972, he began signifi cant work with the Joint Chiefs of Staff, including assisting with the Vietnam Evacua-tion Operation as a part of the Command and Control Deputate. His group re-
ceived expressions of appre-ciation from the President of the United States, Sec-retary of Defense and the Joint Chiefs of Staff. “This was not an easy task. How-ever, as usual, profession-alism and dedication were displayed by members of this directorate.”
He remained in the Pen-tagon for seven years, writ-ing national-level operations plans, serving on crisis man-agement teams and briefi ng the Joint Chiefs and military advisers. He especially en-joyed briefi ng the civilians who provided perspective to the military, including Dr. Edward Teller, Claire Booth Luce, Nelson Rockefeller and Henry Cabot Lodge. He recalled with amazement “how kind they were to me. I reckon it was the nasal, twangy, Elizabethan, East Tennessee accent.”
He was awarded the De-partment of Defense Meri-torious Service Medal and the Army Meritorious Ser-vice Medal as well as the Joint Chiefs of Staff Com-mendation Medal for his service at the Pentagon.
Retiring from the mili-tary in 1979 as a lieutenant colonel, Bundren had an active civilian career as a planner and systems ana-lyst for three defense con-tractors: BDM, Mitre Corp. and Titan Corp., primarily
writing and evaluating di-saster plans for manmade and natural disasters. He continued to maintain his contacts with the West Point Class of ′55 through-out his life, attending the 50th class reunion in a Ten-nessee coonskin cap.
Although he had a career as a warrior, he is remem-bered by his children as “the kindest, gentlest person you ever met, with a wicked sense of humor.” He and his wife became active in civic organizations in Vienna, Va., organizing golf tourna-
ments and charity auctionsraising over half a milliondollars for breast cancerresearch. His volunteer ac-tivities included teachingremedial reading to fi rst-graders at Oakton Elemen-tary School. He was a Ma-son and Shriner as well as alongtime Washington Red-skins season ticket holder.
Bundren passed away in2006. His widow and theirfour children, Bill Bundren,Nancy Andrews, Sally Car-ling and David Bundren,and 13 grandchildren live inthe Virginia area.

And the winners areEverything you ever
(didn’t) want to know about Knox County politics.
In about a week, those who didn’t take advantage of early voting will cast their ballots in local and state general elections.
Feel free to use the peer-less prognostications below as a guide to tasting the thrill of victory by voting for the winning side.
■ State Senate District 7Republican candidate
Richard Briggs is regarded as the un-Stacey, a dignifi ed upgrade from the clownish Campfi eld.
It’s not likely that Briggs will become a target for Jon
LarryVan
Guilder
Stewart or Stephen Colbert, but the good doctor’s core values are little different from the man he looks to replace.
A line in the modern Hip-pocratic Oath reads, “I will prevent disease whenever I can, for prevention is pref-erable to cure.”
Briggs, a respected sur-geon, opposes Medicaid ex-
pansion and the Affordable Care Act, despite the latter’s emphasis on preventive medicine. Go fi gure.
In contrast, Democratic candidate Cheri Siler fa-vors healthcare reform. She supports an increase in the minimum wage, a posi-tion Briggs considers a “job killer.”
Not surprisingly, she’s been unsuccessful in luring her painfully shy opponent to the debate platform. In this overwhelmingly Re-publican district Briggs has nothing to gain from a mod-erated debate.
Residents of the 7th Dis-trict deserve more than just an upgraded vocabulary in
their next state senator, but they aren’t going to get it. Briggs rakes in 70 percent or more of the vote.
■ Gloria Johnson vs. Lane Kiffi nOtherwise known as the
race for State House District 13, the contest has taken a turn for the bizarre.
A fl yer recently mailed by a PAC supporting Republi-can candidate Eddie Smith compared Democratic in-cumbent Gloria Johnson to Lane Kiffi n, “all talk” and “promises, promises.”
If nothing else, this Hail Mary tactic demonstrates that no idea is too desperate or too shopworn not to be repeated.
In 2012, Tennessee Re-publicans employed the
same shtick in a television commercial. Like Kiffi n, said the announcer, John-son’s strategy was to “take the money and run.”
Johnson might consider countering with an endorse-ment from Bo Wallace, the giant-slaying Ole Miss quarterback who led the Rebels to a recent win over Kiffi n’s Alabama Crimson Tide. If Wallace isn’t paid it shouldn’t violate NCAA rules.
If Johnson really wants to play hardball, use six de-grees of separation to link Smith with Derek Dooley and give Kiffi n haters a run for their money.
Johnson has earned an-other term, but this one will be close. When time ex-pires, Johnson 52 percent, Smith 48.
■ Nashville CatsIn the best of all possible
worlds, Republican Mark “Coonrippy” Brown would be squaring off against Democrat Charlie Brown for the governor’s chair.
“Coonrippy” wants the state to give back his “res-cue” raccoon it seized and released into the wild. Char-lie wants his own party to support him. Both are likely to be disappointed.
In the real world, Charlie Brown opposes Republican incumbent Bill Haslam. Even Lloyd’s of London wouldn’t give you odds on the Democrat’s chances.
Brown captured 30 per-cent of likely voters in an Au-gust Rasmussen poll. I’d be surprised to see him reach that percentage on Nov. 4.
The little man who wasn’t there
Candidates Jamie Rowe, Gloria Johnson and Cheri Siler Photoby Betty Bean
Last night I saw upon the stairA little man who wasn’t thereHe wasn’t there again todayOh, how I wish he’d go away
– From “Antigonish” by William Hughes Mearns
2014 appears to be the year of not showing up – particularly for Republicans Eddie Smith and Richard Briggs, who are employing the same no-show tactic, likely for different reasons.
ic (note the small D) process and makes Briggs look like a wuss, despite the pictures of him decked out in combat gear on his campaign litera-ture.
Smith, who has been ducking public forums in what is thought to be a tight District 13 House race, doesn’t enjoy a name rec-ognition advantage over the incumbent Johnson, despite assaulting voters with a re-lentless negative direct mail campaign that peaked with a ludicrous Alabama Week comparison piece likening Johnson to Lane Kiffi n.
Despite being offered many potential dates for a League of Women Vot-ers forum, a genteel affair most candidates consider a required campaign ap-pearance, neither Smith nor Briggs could be bothered to fi nd the time. And neither
accepted the joint invitation from County Commission-ers Jeff Ownby (R) and Amy Broyles (D) to appear at a forum at West High School last Thursday (the three District 2 school board can-didates were also invited, and Jamie Rowe was the only one to attend).
Smith did, however, make a guest appearance at South-Doyle Middle School earlier in the week on an evening when parent/teach-er conferences were being held. He stationed himself in the teachers’ break room near the food, where he had easy access to a captive au-dience and was clearly in violation of Knox County Schools’ policy prohibiting political solicitation inside schools:
“Solicitation or adver-tising in any form by can-didates for public offi ce or
But the effect is the same – their would-be constitu-ents are being cheated of the opportunity to hear them defend their positions and
philosophies against those of their Democratic oppo-nents, Gloria Johnson and Cheri Siler. Both men, pre-sumably, are confi dent the R behind their names will secure their elections.
Briggs, the presumed frontrunner for the District 7 Senate seat after his pri-mary victory over Stacey Campfi eld, is likely relying on the well-practiced, Dun-can-family theory of not allowing lesser-known op-ponents the chance to raise their public profi le at his expense. While this makes some strategic sense, it also shortchanges the democrat-
political- or issue-oriented organizations is not per-mitted. Political literature shall not be distributed through the school to stu-dents, nor sent home to parents, nor placed in teachers’ mailboxes, loung-es or on school premises. Political advertising in any form shall not be permit-
ted on school facilities, on school grounds or in school publications.”
Smith refi ned the tac-tic three days later when he sent a campaign worker armed with yard signs and campaign literature to West High School, thus managing to violate KCS policy with-out even being there.

Tammy Kaousias is the newest member of the Knox County Election Commis-sion and is the appointee of state Rep. Gloria John-son, who has known her for more than 20 years.
An attorney in solo prac-tice of business law, she is a member of St. George Greek Orthodox Church. She met her husband in 1997 in West Java, Indonesia, where they married. He is a Knoxville native, and they live in North Hills.
She is an engaging, com-mitted activist on voting-rights issues.
Kaousias, 48, is one of two Democratic members of the election commission. She wants feedback from the public on whether the election commission should meet at 8 a.m. as it makes it diffi cult for working people to attend if their workday starts at the same time.
She says it is “very un-
fortunate” that Belle Morris School was closed as a vot-ing precinct but is not sure it can be reopened. She feels voting should be accessible and the process transparent and nonpartisan.
She serves on the board of the Knoxville Jazz Or-chestra with such widely known personalities as Hal-lerin Hill, Bill Arant and El-len Robinson. She likes yoga and owns the Glowing Body Yoga Studio off Central Av-enue.
As an election commis-sioner she is paid $300 a month and has declined the county health insurance for which she is eligible.
With the absence of the chair, Christopher Heager-ty, the commission is now tied at two Democrats and two Republicans, making it totally bipartisan. Kaousias is the only commissioner not pictured on the website but plans to correct that soon.
Both Democrats on the Knox County Election Com-mission are women. The GOP has not had a woman serving on the local election commission in over 25 years since Hazel Showalter.
In April 2015, the GOP state legislators will make three recommendations for commissioners to the State Election Commission, which is virtually always honored. It will be interest-ing to see if the GOP legisla-tors, which include at least two new members (Rick Briggs and Martin Daniel), will make any changes in the current lineup. If Hea-
gerty is not back to work at the commission by then he is likely to be replaced.
■ Until 2008 there was a replica of the offi ce of the late Sen. Estes Kefauver at the University of Tennessee Hoskins Library. Then, due to structural concerns, that area of the building was closed and the furniture and photos were placed in stor-age, where they have been for six years. They are not likely to be on public display for some time to come.
The Kefauver family, some of whom live in the San Francisco area now, would like to see the offi ce re-es-tablished. The problem is no one seems able to do it.
The UT library, under the able leadership of Steve Smith, simply does not have a place to locate it. The arti-facts in storage have not di-minished.
Discussion has occurred with the Tennessee State
Museum executive direc-tor in Nashville. However, the museum has much of its current collection, includ-ing over 300 Red Grooms art pieces, in storage, hop-ing for a new museum to be built someday. The likeli-hood of a new state museum in Nashville, which would cost over $160 million (not including new storage space), being built soon is wishful thinking given the needs competing for con-struction funds.
Last July 1, in an email to Lindsay Kefauver, one of the senator’s daughters, the ex-ecutive director of the state museum said the museum “was honored to become the repository” of the collection but she may have spoken too soon as the furniture portion of the collection is actually owned by the U.S. Senate, which stated clearly in 1965 the furniture must be returned to the senate if
not used as a memorial to Kefauver.
Is having the Kefauver collection in storage for six years and facing another six years of storage still a public memorial?
There is also no room for it to be displayed and would simply be in storage in Nash-ville instead of Knoxville if transferred. The commis-sion members were also not informed about this devel-opment at the time but are now aware of it. (This writer is a commission member).
The museum commis-sion will need to set policy on this given that other, more recent Tennessee sen-ators have been nationally known as Senate majority leaders (Baker and Frist) and/or president of the Sen-ate (Al Gore).
■ Sen. Lamar Alexan-der will be at the Knoxville Crowne Plaza Nov. 4 to await the election results.

nated the Volunteer State’s political landscape – both senators, the governor, the General Assembly and most of the congressional del-egation. Now, Republicans control most every nook and crevice of government and Democrats are trying to climb out of the ditch.
One way to begin to do it would be to fi gure out a way to bottle the energy of June Jones, fi eld representative for the U.S. Senate cam-paign of Democratic Party nominee Gordon Ball.
Jones, whose Cedar Lane home is one of the prime yard-sign locations in Knox-ville, made national news in 2012 when vandals kept tearing down her “Tennes-seans for Obama” billboard.
“My yard was a battle-ground,” she said. “Not two days after we put it up, someone tried to steal it.”
So she put the sign back up with deep, reinforced stakes. They came back with a box cutter and sliced it up.
“I was so upset, but you know what? I taped it up… and they did it again. And so I taped it up again and started putting up other signs asking if you’d want to be part of a party that would suppress freedom. The best thing about it was the people that would come to my door and thank me for standing up to them.
“One lady said, ‘I’ve been driving by your house for days.’ I got letters from all over the United States. It was amazing to see all that hate turned into something more.
“My overall personal goal is to make Tennesseans proud to say they’re Demo-crats.”
Jones had more on her mind than signs that year. She was part of Obama’s
The unsinkable June Jones
North Carolina Get Out the Vote operation.
“East Tennessee led the action for the president, and I was over nine counties as a volunteer. We rocked it. The last three weeks of the cam-paign, we had a war room in a condo that a doctor let us borrow. We had tables, chairs and computers in ev-ery room.”
After the North Carolina
polls closed, the group start-ed making calls in Western states as part of the “Rolling Thunder” operation.
That, said Jones, is how to affect the process from a “red” state.
Her conviction that her party can exert its infl uence closer to home isn’t damp-ened by a recent poll show-ing her candidate 21 points behind Republican Lamar
Alexander.“We have absolutely got
them on the RUN!” Jones said. “He’s pounding Gor-don in the press and spend-ing money in the Tri-Cities and Middle Tennessee. La-mar Alexander didn’t fi ght this hard against (primary opponent) Joe Carr! Forty years is enough! We need to change what’s going on in Washington, and until we change WHO’s in Washing-ton, what they’re doing is not going to change.”
Jones is in charge of or-ganizing counties in Middle and upper East Tennessee. The day after this interview, she was headed to meet with Democrats in Hamblen County and with the sheriff of Greene County.
The sheriff of Greene County is a Democrat?
“Yes!” she said. “Pat Han-kins. He’s a Democrat in a very Republican area, and he got voted in. Isn’t that GREAT? We can DO this!”

Trail panoramas may be fi rst for a U.S.
greenway systemBy Bill Dockery
If you take a stroll on a Knoxville greenway and you run into a robot riding piggyback on the shoulders of a hiker, you have just seen (and been photographed by) a Google Trekker.
But if you try to talk to the hiker, he/she will hand you a card that says, “We’d love to chat, but we have to keep moving!”
The card explains that Knoxville and Knox County are partnering with Google to produce a Street View video of the whole green-way system and other notable local landmarks.
When completed, the project will allow armchair hikers to enjoy 86 miles of Knox greenways from the comfort of their computer desks or smart phones. The virtual visuals will comple-ment the elaborate map of trails and parks recently re-leased by the city Parks and Recreation Department.
Both the department and Google public affairs folks decline to talk about the project, but a number of sources have confi rmed that the Street View trek-king has been underway for about a month. The Google website confi rms that Street View imaging is going on now in Knox and Jefferson counties.
Sources say that this project may be the fi rst Street View focusing on a U.S. greenway system, but that could not be confi rmed at press time. A number
of Street Views are avail-able on trails in Yosemite National Park and along Florida beaches.
Most of Google’s Street View images are cap-tured by a multi-camera tower strapped to the top of a small car that is driven along streets and roads. The cameras capture a 360-degree panorama of the passing scenery to form an interactive Google map.
The greenway project makes use of a similar tow-er outfi tted as a 40-pound backpack that sports 15 cameras.
Preparing a Street View video involves four steps: collecting images, matching the images to the ter-rain, stitching the images together seamlessly into a 360-degree panorama and using lasers to create a three-dimensional image that the viewer can move through virtually.
In recent months, Google has expanded use of the Street View technol-ogy to document museums, airport terminals, walks, parks and other scenic locales. In addition to the backpack and car, Street View cameras have been mounted on trolley carts, snowmobiles and tricycles. The company lends the Google Trekker equipment to nonprofi ts and tourism organizations, as well as researchers and universi-ties that can provide access to hard-to-reach places.Contact Bill Dockery at [email protected].
Good man HughBy Sandra Clark
Anyone in Knox County Republican politics knows the name Hugh Noe.
He was an institution in the Alice Bell community, chairing the GOP commit-tee there for decades. He died Oct. 21 at age 89, just a month shy of 90.
His son, Dr. Ronald E. Noe of Lake City, captured Hugh in his eulogy:
“Dad believed in hard work. (pause) Not so much in vacations. …
“He was a man of convic-tion and diligence. He val-ued education, and he loved his grandbabies.
“We are losing a genera-tion of diligence.”
Hugh and Jean were mar-
ried for 62 years. Pastor Toby Everett of their church, Alice Bell Baptist, said, “Jean, I commend you.”
Everyone at the service acknowledged there was never doubt about where Hugh stood.
He liked Tim Burchett back when Tim was a skin-ny kid who tried to save the world by recycling waste vegetation for mulch. Bur-chett landed a contract with the city (he had no competi-tion because no one else saw merit in this endeavor). All city brush was dumped at Tim’s location. He worked from dawn to midnight.
A major blizzard that year overwhelmed every-one. Brush started piling up
and Tim couldn’t process or sell it fast enough.
A city inspector started sniffi ng around Burchett’s mulch yard with an eye to-ward shutting him down. Someone spotted Noe and suggested he was dumping raw sewage on the mulch.
But reporter Betty Bean determined that Noe was pumping out standing wa-ter and disposing of it at the sewage treatment plant, which KUB confi rmed.
“Hugh was a standup guy,” says Bean.
Mr. Noe was a U.S. Army veteran of World War II who served in Japan. He farmed and ran Noe’s Suburban Septic Service for 50 years. Other survivors are daugh-ter-in-law Judy Noe; grand-children, Dr. Katie A. Noe and Drs. Ronald Andrew (Leah) Noe.

By Wendy SmithThere’s one place to en-
counter Knoxville’s most important families − with names like McGhee, Mc-Clung, Armstrong and Ijams − and it may be the most beautiful and serene spot in the city.
It’s Old Gray Cemetery, located on 13 rolling acres on North Broadway. There have been more than 9,000 buri-als at Old Gray, extending back to the Civil War.
Gray Cemetery was named for English poet Thomas Gray, author of “Elegy Written in a Coun-
try Church Yard.” The fi rst burial was in 1851 − a 23-year-old who was killed by a cannon that exploded during a Fourth of July cel-ebration − and burials con-tinue today in family plots. It became Old Gray when New Gray Cemetery on Western Avenue was estab-lished in 1892.
“It’s a walk through Knoxville history,” says Alix Dempster, executive direc-tor.
Dempster inherited the position from her mother-in-law, Kathryn Dempster, who held it for 20 years before
she passed away in 1986. It started as a small job, but her efforts to increase awareness of Old Gray have expanded Alix’s responsibilities.
The cemetery is on the National Register of Histor-ic Places and is listed with Museums of Knoxville. It is, after all, the city’s most no-table outdoor art museum. As of last year, it’s a Level One Arboretum, certifi ed by the Tennessee Urban For-estry Council. More than 40 tree species are identifi ed by stone markers.
People enjoy the cem-etery, especially during spe-

cial events like the annual Lantern and Carriage tour. But crowds don’t regularly fl ock to Old Gray as they once did.
It was the city’s fi rst park, and every Sunday after church, people came to so-cialize. Visitors recall play-ing at Old Gray when they were children, Dempster says.
During those days, peo-ple talked about death but didn’t talk about sex. Now the two are reversed.

As we drove through the beautiful hills of New Eng-land, I was intrigued by the little villages nestled in the valleys. Houses old and new, large and small, and a smattering of general stores (no Wal-Marts or supermar-kets). There was a school in every town, and a gas sta-tion. Not a factory anywhere.
In every town, however, there was a church, usually Congregationalist, always white clapboard, with a tall steeple, topped by a cross. In fact, that cross was fre-quently the fi rst thing I could see as we drove down into the village.
As we wound our way back home, coming down through the Shenandoah Valley – that lush, green landscape sheltered by mountains on either side – I saw another cross.
This one was standing in front of a church, not on the steeple. It was huge, gigan-tic, enormous. It stood fully twenty feet tall, and looked
For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through him God was pleased to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, by making peace through the blood of his cross.

almost like steel lattice-work. I was stunned, and, I will admit, appalled.
I remembered a story a beloved teacher told me one day. I was wearing a neck-lace with a tiny silver pen-dant that could be construed as either a cross or a star. My teacher said he knew a pas-tor who reproached a con-gregant for wearing a cross.
“What are you doing with that idol around your neck?” the pastor demanded.
It has taken me many years to sort out all of that.
I now know the differ-ence between idols and icons. The cross is an icon, not an idol, and a symbol of God’s great love.

From ‘Fatboys’ to ‘The Lion’
played a role in “Fat Boys,” a fi lm about self-esteem and
self-image, which has just been released on DVD. “The Lion” is about drug a d d i c t i o n and kids who come from tough
backgrounds. “Our intention is to shine
a spotlight on those who work hard in the fi eld of so-
cial services and the strug-gle teenagers go through as they break the cycle of ad-diction many are born to,” said Hall.
Hall and his crew are shooting at various loca-tions in and around Knox-ville and will wrap up at the end of the year. The fi lm is scheduled for release April 2015. The company plans to sponsor a fi lm festival close to the release date.
“We want to bring other quality fi lm companies to Knoxville,” said Hall. “We
aren’t competitive enough to want to be the only game in town.”
MissionWorx supports various charities with por-tions of the proceeds from their fi lms. Most actors and crew work on a volunteer basis. Ten percent of the take from “The Lion” will go to local rehab centers. Mis-sionWorx is in the process of raising funds for their next production titled “Running with Jack.” Check out Mis-sionWorx fi lms at www.theafa.biz.

Dempster’s small salary comes from a fund estab-lished in 1949 to provide maintenance for the cem-etery. She doesn’t typically give tours but agreed to share a few tales.
A lady friend of Robert McKeehan, who died in 1904, was known to bring an oriental rug and a rock-ing chair to sit beside his mausoleum. When she passed away, she, her chair and her rug joined him in the mausoleum.
The Old Gray receiving
vault was built to hold bod-ies if circumstances pre-vented burial. Lena BlanchDeemer Arnett, who died in1920 at age 22, was placedin the vault by her mother,who came to Knoxville to re-trieve her 2-year-old grand-son. Lena stayed in the vaultfor 38 years before cemeterytrustees fi nally buried her.
The receiving vault now holds the cemetery’s lawn-mowers, Dempster says.
She marvels at the intri-cacy and variety of the cem-etery’s monuments, many ofwhich are made from localmarble. The tallest, an obe-lisk that ascends into a giantoak tree, marks the grave ofthe Lawrence Tyson family.McGhee Tyson Airport wasnamed for Lawrence’s son,Navy pilot Charles McGheeTyson.

Bearden High School STEM guidance counselor Beverly An-
derson, U.S. Sen. Lamar Alexander and Bearden senior Rachel
Buckley meet before a conference regarding changes in the
FAFSA form. Photo by Sara Barrett
A lengthy piece of paper stole the show as U.S. Sen. Lamar Alexander pitched an idea that would elimi-nate that particular paper altogether.
Free Application for Federal Student Aid (the FAFSA form) is a document every person must fi ll out to apply for fi nancial aid before applying for college. It includes 108 questions pertaining to the student’s major and which college he or she plans to attend. This information is not needed to determine how much fi nan-cial aid they should receive, and many students aren’t sure which college they plan to attend when they fi rst start shopping, he said.
Alexander hosted educa-tional leaders, students and parents from East Tennes-see at Pellissippi State Com-munity College to discuss the pros and cons of cut-ting the form down to the “Student Aid Short Form,” something a bit larger than a postcard with two ques-tions – how big is the stu-dent’s family and what is the family’s income from the previous year?
Sara Barrett
Possible time saver for future college students
The current format is as long as Alexander is tall, and he unraveled it numer-ous times for everyone to see.
“This whole process is so blooming complicated,” he said. “I don’t think it is our job to get 20 million people a year to fi ll out 108 ques-tions for universities.”
Susan Hughes said the new format would save time and stress. She has fi lled out the FAFSA form for her three children and said “dread is a very appropri-ate word when preparing to fi ll out (FAFSA). My son’s friends currently attend William Blount High School and have been discouraged by the thought of fi lling out this form to the point where they won’t attend college be-cause of it.
“The Hope Scholarship seems pretty hopeless.”
The proposed format could reduce the amount students borrow to attend college.
Dr. Gary Weedman, pres-ident of Johnson University, said his faculty would be interested in ways to pre-vent students from over-borrowing. Weedman said right now advisers can only make suggestions, but it is ultimately up to the student to decide.
Pellissippi State Commu-nity College student Con-stance Cook said after a pre-mature attempt at college in the ’80s, she recently decid-ed at age 50 she was ready to complete her education.
“The FAFSA applica-tion could have deterred me from going through with (college),” said Cook. “If students could get (into college) without fi lling out a long application, it would encourage more students to apply.”
Although the pros seem to outweigh the cons of shortening the fi nancial aid application, there are still questions on the current form that are critical for col-leges to know. One looming question is how to get that information if the FAFSA no longer exists. It may mean increased staffi ng by the college the student attends.

This week, kids and their parents can take advantage of some terrifi c arts experi-ences around town.

Maestro James Fellenbaum, conductor of the KSO’s lively
Young People’s Concerts, reacts to an explosion in the 2012
performance of “Scientifi c Symphony.” This year’s concert se-
ries is titled “Are We There Yet?” Photo submitted
A great week for kids and the arts
says Fellenbaum, who is the father of a 3-year-old girl.
Jennifer Barnett Harrell, the KSO’s director of educa-tion and community partner-ships, says she is very excited about the performances.
“The idea is that we’re going on an ‘Indiana Jones’- type adventure with Indi-ana Jones’ distant cousin, Tennessee Smith,” she says. University of Tennessee the-ater department professor and local actor Terry Weber will be playing the role of Tennessee Smith, leading the students in an interac-tive adventure.
The kids must fi nd clues to help them fi gure out where they are traveling next. “Some of the clues will be hidden right in the or-chestra,” says Harrell.
Young performers will be featured, including the West African Drum and Dance group from Austin-East Magnet High School.
Special effects, including whitewater rapids and fi re-works, will provide excite-ment.
“Tennessee Smith unfor-tunately gets doused in a couple of European rivers,” Harrell says with a sly grin.
The concerts are geared toward third- to fi fth-grad-ers. Many school groups plan to attend, but individ-ual tickets can also be pur-chased. At press time, some were available.
Performances are Wed-nesday, Oct. 29, and Thurs-day, Oct. 30, at 9:30 and 10:45 a.m., and Friday, Oct. 31, at 9:30 a.m. at the Knox-ville Civic Auditorium.

■ Elementary SherlockA different kind of expe-
rience awaits you and your youngsters as Knoxville Children’s Theatre presents “Sherlock Holmes and the Hound of the Baskervilles,” a new adaptation of the clas-sic mystery by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
The story centers on the legend of a ghostly, diaboli-cal hound that has roamed the moors and stalked the Baskerville family for gen-erations.
When Sir Charles Basker-ville is found dead with enormous paw prints near-by, the case grabs the atten-tion of Sherlock Holmes and
Dr. John Watson.Can they solve the mys-
tery of the phantom hound before another Baskerville falls victim to the legend?
Old Sherlock never seems to lose his popularity, and KCT executive director Zack Allen thinks it’s because he “embodies the best and the brightest in us. He’s a care-ful observer, but he also ap-plies his knowledge. I think of him as a ‘mental super-hero.’”
Allen is one of the co-founders of the 7-year-old company, which has pro-duced more than 60 plays.
The current production, adapted by Allen, has a cast of 14 young actors, ages 11 to 17. “It’s sort of thrilling,” he says, “and pretty spooky when the hound starts howling!
“But,” he points out, “there’s no better place to be scared than the theater. It’s a safe place.”
“Sherlock Holmes and the Hound of the Basker-villes” runs through Nov. 9, with performances at 7 p.m. Thursdays and Fridays; 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. Saturdays; and 3 p.m. Sundays.

On Wednesday, Thurs-day and Friday, the Knox-ville Symphony Orchestra is presenting kid-friendly morning concerts. If your child hasn’t experienced the sights and sounds of a real live symphony orchestra, now is the time.
The Sheena McCall Young People’s Concert, named for its benefactor and titled “Are We There Yet?” will feature music from all over the world. Maestro James Fellenbaum, well known as the popular conductor of the annual fall concerts, will be leading the KSO in a musi-cal travelogue.
“We will explore music in a fun way, from Russia to Austria, from Africa to Mex-ico. Not only will students hear what different parts of the world sound like, but – through use of video pro-jection – they can see where these countries are located,”
By Betsy PickleHalloween is almost
upon us, but unless you’re going to a party, life could get pretty boring after the trick-or-treaters head home Friday.
There’s no better way to entertain yourself than a scary-movie night, and
whether you draw from your own library, rent from Red-box or order on demand, you can quench your thirst for gore, comic thrillers or outright horror.
If you lean toward icon-ic slasher baddies, forget Michael Myers and Jason Voorhees and head straight
for the Freddy Krueger aisle. The “Nightmare on Elm Street” series has far less fi ller than the “Friday the 13th” and “Halloween” fi lms combined, and Fred-dy Krueger is a much more personable demon.
(Chill out, John Carpen-ter fans. He was around only
Scare yourself silly – or gory for the fi rst “Halloween.” If you want something really suspenseful, check out his “Assault on Precinct 13.” It’s scare city, no lie.)
I’m not into gore, so you won’t get “Saw” or “Hostel” recommendations from me. But I wouldn’t dismiss anyone who opted for the original “Texas Chainsaw Massacre,” “Poltergeist” or an “Alien”/“Aliens” double feature.
You can’t go wrong with any of the classics like James Whale’s “Franken-stein” or “Bride of Franken-stein” or Karl Freund’s “The Mummy.” Boris Karloff is practically required view-ing on Halloween for some folks.
If your zombie awareness begins with “The Walk-ing Dead,” you should try George Romero’s “Night of the Living Dead” and “Dawn
of the Dead.” For a comic take, go for Edgar Wright’s “Shaun of the Dead.”
As for me, I fancy the fl ut-ter of bat wings, so my pref-erences run to the vampire crowd. No, I’m not talking about “Twilight.” Check out the original or remake of “Fright Night” for fun, or go for blood with Gary Oldman in the 1992 “Dracula” or Frank Langella in my edi-tor’s favorite 1979 version.

Grilled Vegetable Platter at Seasons Innovative Bar and Grill
brating the seasonsa s a health thing
Seasons
Mystery Diner
At Seasons Innovative Bar and Grill in Turkey Creek, you can celebrate autumn with a platter fea-turing a bountiful harvest that is also a fairly healthy choice.
Seasons is all about changing menus to corre-spond to what’s fresh. Chef Deron Little adds a smor-gasbord of seasonal dishes as the calendar pages turn. His “regular menu” is hard to resist, especially if you have a favorite, but diners will light up their taste buds if they skip over to the sea-sonal offerings to see what Little has cooked up.
The Grilled Vegetable Platter was a great choice
off the seasonal menu. Features were crookneck squash, zucchini, porto-bello mushrooms, roasted artichokes and Brussels sprouts, accompanied with couscous, fl atbread toast points and hummus spread. I line up on the “no, thank you” side of the Brussels sprouts discussion, so I was shocked when I asked our server if “these little green things” were fried lettuce bites.
“No,” he said, “those are the outer leaves of the Brus-sels sprouts. Chef fl ash-fries them.” I still skipped the bigger bites but scarfed down those crispy little leaves that had fl aked off.
I tried to eat the veg-etables the way I knew Chef would want me to – samples of all on the fork for an or-chestrated taste – and it was delicious. I did fi nd myself moving some of the veg-etables around on the plate as I got full for just “one more bite” of the portobello mushrooms. Seasons Innovative Bar and Grill: 11605

It may sound like it, but Michael Keaton is not draw-ing on real life for “Bird-man, or The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance,” due to open at Downtown West on Friday.
The much-admired “Batman” of the fi rst two Tim Burton-directed fi lms about the Dark Knight, Kea-ton was one of the biggest movie stars in the world by the time “Batman Returns” came out in 1992. In the past 22 years, he has done solid and steady work but usually with a much lower profi le.
“Birdman” tells the story of a former movie superhero trying to capture admira-tion from critics and adora-tion from fans by mounting a legitimate Broadway play. But the chaos that sur-
While trying to resuscitate his career, actor Riggan Thomson
(Michael Keaton) also hopes to reconnect with his daughter,
Sam (Emma Stone), in the black comedy “Birdman, or The Un-
expected Virtue of Ignorance.”
Jake Gyllenhaal plays an ambitious young man who gets into
the world of underground crime journalism in “Nightcrawler,”
also starring Rene Russo.
Michael Keaton carries, escapes his past with ‘Birdman’
Betsy Pickle
rounds him and the produc-tion makes any kind of suc-cess a long shot at best.
“Birdman” teams Keaton with acclaimed director Alejandro Gonzalez Inar-ritu (“Amores Perros,” “21 Grams,” “Babel,” “Biutiful”). The fi lm is also a change of pace for Inarritu, whose unfl inching dramas have drawn high praise.
This new black comedy tackles the backstage world of Broadway with continu-ous takes and a script that was a two-year, multi-coun-
try collaboration by Inar-ritu, Nicolas Giacobone, Alexander Dinelaris Jr. and Armando Bo.
The cast includes Zach Galifi anakis as Keaton’s best friend and producer, Naomi Watts as the play’s leading lady, Edward Nor-ton as the troublemaking last-minute leading man, Emma Stone as Keaton’s just-out-of-rehab daughter and personal assistant and Amy Ryan as his ex-wife.
■ Opening wide Friday is
“Nightcrawler,” starring Jake
Gyllenhaal as a young man
who wants to do something
big. He fi nds his niche when
he stumbles into the world
of freelance crime journalism
in Los Angeles. Racing rivals
to get the fi rst images of a
murder or bereaved family
members, he quickly rises to
the top of the trash-TV heap
as he shows that he will do
absolutely anything to get
the story.
The fi lm marks the direct-
ing debut of screenwriter Dan
Gilroy, whose credits include
one of my favorite fi lms from
2006, Tarsem Singh’s “The
Fall,” as well as “The Bourne
Legacy.” The wonderful Rene
Russo (who happens to be
Gilroy’s wife) stars along with
Bill Paxton and Riz Ahmed.
■ Also opening Friday is “Be-
fore I Go To Sleep,” a thriller
starring Nicole Kidman, Colin
Firth and Mark Strong; based
on the novel by S.J. Watson.
The fi lm is about a woman
who wakes up every day with
no memories due to a trau-
matic accident. Terrifying dis-
coveries make her question
everyone in her life. I know
many women who would love
to question Colin Firth. Or
Mark Strong. Or both.
FRIDAY ■ Featured artists at Parkside Open Door Gallery, Fountain
City Art Center, 213 Hotel Ave., are Fountain City artists Penny
Berridge and Renita Andrews; and Frank Harvey of Lenoir City.
Berridge will display oil paintings, Andrews will be showing

By Sandra ClarkSometimes we take the
home folks for granted. And sometimes regular-sized businesses grow super-sized while we watch.
That’s the case with the Phil Nichols’ State Farm In-surance Agency in Halls.
“Our business is abso-lutely booming,” said Nich-ols, whose agency is adding
some 300 new customers per month. “We’ve written more life insurance than any other agency in State Farm (there are 18,000). We’re fortunate to be an in-dustry leader.”
Nichols’ offi ce in North-side Square is undergo-ing renovations. Files are stacked along the walls. The offi ce is going paperless and

Phil Nichols builds strong agency in Halls
staff must take care to prop-erly archive (or shred) the records. Phil sits back to talk.
He says insurance is a family business, and he’s been selling insurance for so long that he’s seeing State Farm pay out claims to custom-ers he sold when he started. That’s an important aspect of insurance, he observes. You want to be sure your company is around to fulfi l its promises.
State Farm now offers what Nichols calls “a total fi nancial package” for its clients. Banking services in-clude checking, savings and loans. “It’s all about know-ing the needs of families,” says Phil.
Nichols came to Knox-ville (Halls specifi cally) in 1980 for the opportunity to be a State Farm agent. He grew up in Alabama and played tackle for the Auburn War Eagles. After college, he sold insurance briefl y in Florida, but he al-ways wanted to join the No. 1 company, State Farm.
Did he buy an agency here? He smiles and makes a hand motion of knocking on doors. Nichols, with able assistance from wife Rheba, built the agency from the

Now the industry is data-driven, virtually eliminat-ing the need for underwrit-ing. Computers in vehicles can monitor driving habits and reliably predict the probability of an accident. Nichols and his staff are

News from United Grocery Outlet
United Grocery Outlet/Grocery Outlet would like to celebrate with you and our community!!
We are celebrating four decades of serving custom-ers and the community! We urge you to mark your cal-endars for Saturday, Nov. 1, as we are inviting you to our Customer Appreciation day at your local United Grocery Outlet/Grocery Outlet!
As the largest close-out grocery company in the southeast, we thank you for your support and commit-ment to our company as we continue to serve you and the community.
United Grocery Outlet/Grocery Outlet is a family-owned company. We are very proud to have been serving and to be able to continue to serve for the past 40 years.
We began in the small east Tennessee town of Etowah and were known as the Bargain Barn. The founders were Doug, Carol and Michael Tullock, a teen-ager at the time who has now become the company president.
The original concept for the business was that cus-tomers “Eat Better For Less.” Beginning with $1,000 of working capital and using the corner of an antique store as their store front, Michael and his parents started purchasing closeout, seconds and irregulars from
two manufacturers.No one ever dreamed
it would grow into the36-store chain, with about750 employees, reachingover fi ve states that it is to-day. The headquarters anddistribution center are lo-cated in Athens, Tenn.
We would like our cus-tomers to “Shop Us First”and then go to the conven-tional grocery store for theremaining necessary items.Most customers fi nd only afew items are needed fromthe conventional grocerystore, which saves themconsiderable money.
When shopping one ofour stores, you will not fi ndthe same items all the time.It is a treasure hunt of sorts.We only buy the items wecan offer our customers atexceptional savings. Wenow buy from hundredsof manufacturers. This al-lows our customer to fi ndanything from basic food tohigh-end gourmet items.
We can’t believe that ithas been 40 years of servingour communities!
Come join us for the funas we celebrate this monu-mental occasion on Nov. 1!We have a lot of fun activi-ties planned for you suchas: treasure hunt, sidewalkevent, and the fi rst 40 cus-tomers get a free goody bag!
As our company presi-dent would say, “We willKEEP ON serving you andbringing extreme values.”

By Sandra ClarkTennessee, now 3-5, still
has a chance to be bowl eli-gible. That’s the word from Jimmy Hyams, co-host of the market’s top-rated SportsTalk show. Hyams spoke last week to the North Knoxville Rotary.
The Vols need to win at least 6 games and have won 3. This means the team must win three of the re-maining fi ve games, now 3 of 4 after Saturday’s loss to Alabama. Four remaining games are with South Caro-lina, Kentucky, Missouri and Vanderbilt.
Hyams worked for the News Sentinel for 13 years before joining Dick Broad-casting, now Cumulus Broad-casting. He was inducted into the Tennessee Sports Writers Hall of Fame in 2011.
Coach Derek Dooley left a mess, H y a m s said. “Most people told ( B u t c h ) Jones that it would be a 5-year rebui ld ing job. I didn’t think so at
the time but am starting to think so now.”
Quarterback Josh Dobbs has had trouble with accura-cy and has gone to three dif-ferent quarterback coaches for help, Hyams said. Dobbs is a good runner.
Florida will fi re Will Muschamp at the end of the season, Hyams said. Florida thought that they had made a mistake when they fi red Ron Zook before the end of
the season a few years back … so they will wait, but they will make a change.
Hyams thinks Lane Kif-fi n is a very good offensive coordinator but not a good head coach. He also won-ders about Kiffi n’s and Ed Orgeron’s ability to evaluate quarterbacks. Over the past few years, they have had opportunities to land these quarter-backs and passed them up:
■ Cam Newton, who won the Heisman Trophy and National Cham-pionship while at Auburn and now plays for the Caro-lina Panthers
■ Bryce Petty, All American and Heisman candidate playing for the Baylor Bears
■ Tajh Boyd, who was
drafted by the New York Jets and set all kinds of passing records for Clem-son
Men’s basketball will be a long season with maybe 14 wins. Coach Donnie Tyn-dall has done an impressive job just to bring in nine new players. Hyams said they
are picked to be 13th of 14 SEC teams. Hyams said that is close. He might go 12 of 14, but not much higher.
The women’s bas-ketball team is better but
has not made it to the Final Four in six seasons.
UT baseball is poised to make a big move. UT Coach Dave Serrano has much bet-ter pitching and hitting and may be the most improved team in the SEC.Larry Mays contributed to this report.

Vols fi ghting for bowl eligibility
When Harvey Keener of Decatur, Tennessee learned that a large abdominal aortic aneurysm had grown dangerously close to his kidney ar-tery, physicians gave him two options: tradi-tional open surgery to repair the aneurysm, or a minimally-invasive procedure done with a new, custom-made graft stent.
“I chose to go with the new technology,” says Keener. “It was the perfect choice for me.”
An abdominal aortic aneurysm or “AAA” is weak spot on the aorta that balloons out as it passes through the abdomen. If the aneurysm bursts, if is often fatal. Some people, because of their health, or the size or location of the aneu-rysm, are not candidates for the open surgery.
The traditional aneurysm repair surgery normally requires more than a week in the hos-pital, and months of recovery time. With the minimally invasive endograft procedure, a graft device is deployed through a sheath inserted through small incisions in the patient’s groin. Patients usually leave the hospital in a couple days and fully recovery in around 30 days.
Premier Surgical vascular surgeons Donald Akers, Jr., MD, FACS, and Scott Callicutt, MD, FACS, were the fi rst in the Knoxville region to use a new “fenestrated” endograft to repair com-plex abdominal aortic aneurysms. The surgeons were involved in clinical trials for the device.
“The special graft has small fenestrations or holes in it through which stents can be placed to keep blood fl owing to the patient’s kidneys and other organs,” explains Dr. Callicutt.
Each device is custom-made in Austra-lia. “The graft is precisely created using 3-D computer models developed from patient’s CT scans,” says Dr. Akers. “It’s for very select, com-

plex cases that in the past would have been sent to Vanderbilt or other places for treatment.”
On October 6th, Dr. Akers and Dr. Cal-licutt completed the tenth fenes-trated endovas-cular repair at Tennova Physi-cians Regional. Harvey Keener is grateful to have been one of the ten pa-tients who have
benefi ted so far from the new technology.“I’m told my aneurysm was as big as a grape-
fruit. If I had undergone the open surgery, I would’ve been in the hospital for 2 weeks, and recovering for 3 months,” says Keener. “Instead, I was home in 2 days and walking a mile within 2 weeks.”
And, most importantly, Keener recov-ered in time for his wedding day. “Karen and I were married just 39 days after my surgery. It was perfect.”
Because of the quicker recovery time, Harvey Keeler felt great at his wedding, just 39 days after surgery.

Tim Burchett is launching a Wreaths Across America team in an effort to raise funds to place as many live wreaths as possible on the graves of veterans buried at three local veterans’ cem-eteries.
He met with Kim Harri-son and others last week.
Harrison’s son, Special-ist Daniel Harrison, was killed Dec. 2, 2004, in Mo-sul, Iraq, during his fi rst deployment. She said to lose a child “is the greatest fear of any veteran’s family, but my son had so many army buddies and I have a strong support group. There are so many without family. (The cemetery) can be sort of a lonely place, especially at Christmastime.”
Daniel Harrison at-tended Carter High School. He has a younger brother,

Burchett launches wreath project
Joshua. His mom’s advice to other military families is this: “You’ve gotta stay strong at home so they can s tay strong in the fi eld.”
Burchett said a $15 spon-sorship will pay for a wreath made of live greenery to be placed on a veteran’s grave at either the East Tennessee State Veterans Cemetery on Lyons View Pike, the new
East Tennessee State Veter-ans Cemetery on Governor John Sevier Highway or the Knoxville National Cem-etery on Tyson Street near Old Gray Cemetery.
“If you simply sponsor one wreath or choose to sponsor 100, you are hon-oring veterans and families who have honored our com-munity with their service,”
said Burchett. “Whether the men and women buried in our veteran cemeteries were lost during combat or after living a long life, we do this for the family members who are still living.”
There are more than 15,000 veterans buried at the three veterans cemeter-ies in Knox County.
Sponsor a wreath by vis-iting www.knoxcounty.org and clicking on the Wreaths Across America banner. The organization is offering a “three-for-two” special, which means it will donate a wreath for every two that are sponsored.
The wreath sponsorship cutoff deadline is Dec. 1. The wreaths will be placed on the graves on Dec. 13.
Harrison said many or-ganizations send care pack-ages to soldiers. Contact any of the military organiza-tions for information.

Gamma Knife suits all agesMale and female, younger and
older, Gamma Knife (Leksell Gam-ma Knife Perfexion) radiosurgery offers treatment for brain tumors in a wide range of patients. This life-saving treatment is available in the Knoxville area, only at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center.
Gamma Knife is not a “knife” at all, but a non-invasive, gentle treatment using precisely focused radiation beams to target brain tu-mors without cutting.
“They make sure everything you go through, that you’re comfort-able. It only took about an hour
and a half for my procedure,” said Travis Kellar of Oak Ridge, 24. He went home later that day.
In April 2014, Kellar was di-agnosed with a type of germ cell cancer. Germ cell refers to the tes-ticles, but Kellar’s cancer began in his chest and spread to the brain.
“The chest tumor was about the size of my heart, and it had slowly attached itself to the top of my heart. It would have taken my life if they didn’t catch it when they did,” Kellar said.
Dr. Joseph T. Meyer, a radia-tion oncologist at Fort Sanders, fi rst
treated Kellar with whole brain radia-tion, and Kel-lar received chemotherapy to target the chest tumor through Dr. Daniel Ibach at Thompson Cancer Sur-vival Center, West.
“Initially, we were kind of dis-mal about his prognosis because
Travis didn’t respond to the che-motherapy,” said Meyer.
Dr. Ibach and Dr. Meyer referred Kellar to Indiana University and Dr. Lawrence Einhorn, the world’s ex-pert on germ cell cancer (who also led Lance Armstrong’s successful treatment for testicular cancer).
In Indiana, Kellar had success-ful, aggressive surgery to remove the chest tumor, and laboratory reports showed the cancer was fi nally responding to the chemo-therapy. Kellar then returned to Fort Sanders for follow-up with the Gamma Knife.
“We specifi cally targeted the re-maining brain tumors with Gam-ma Knife,” said Meyer. “Travisshould have an excellent progno-sis. Typically, germ cell cancer pa-tients have a very good prognosiswith aggressive treatment.”
Today, Kellar is in remis-sion. “I’m feeling great, I’m backto work,” he said. “I owe a lot of thanks to people at Fort Sanders and the doctors involved. I re-ally want to thank the doctors andeveryone that has supported me through this entire procedure andall the prayers I’ve received.”
Gamma helps a grandmotherGamma Knife is also often a
good option for patients who must or want to avoid whole-brain ra-diation during cancer treatment.
“I jumped at the chance to have Gamma Knife radiation. That’s the only way to go,” said Harriett Prof-fi tt of Knoxville, a grandmother of three. She was fi rst diagnosed with lung cancer in 2012.
After being treated with chemo-therapy and radiation, Proffi tt’s cancer spread to her brain in Octo-ber 2013. She was offered Gamma Knife radiosurgery at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center, instead of whole brain radiation.
“The trend nowadays for pa-tients with four or fewer tumors is to try to avoid whole-brain radia-
tion and treat those patients with Gamma Knife radiosurgery alone,” said Dr. Joseph T. Meyer, who treated Proffi tt.
“We wanted to avoid whole brain radiation and its side effects such as hair loss, scalp irritation, fatigue, ir-ritation of the ears and fl uid behind the ear drums,” said Meyer.
“But the most signifi cant toxic-
Brain surgery without the ‘surgery’The Leksell Gamma Knife Per-
fexion machine has treated hun-dreds of patients since coming 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, Medical Di-rector of the Fort Sanders Gamma Knife Center.
Using the Gamma Knife radio-surgery system requires a team ef-fort. “We have both neurosurgeons and radiation oncologists together in the pre-treatment evaluation, as well as the actual procedure. Spe-cially-trained radiation physicists and nurses also help ensure a safe and pleasant experience for the pa-tient,” explains Hauge.
Despite its name, the Gamma Knife is not really a “knife.” There’s no cutting, no anesthesia and no hospitalization afterward. Radiation energy is targeted through the skull and into brain tumors, destroying them while leaving healthy tissue
unharmed in the process. Treat-ments 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 disor-ders, like non-cancerous tumors of the pituitary gland, tumors of the ear or eye nerves, or malformations of the blood vessels in the brain.
Fort Sanders is an “open” center, meaning Gamma Knife credentialed and trained physicians in the area are welcome to use the technology. Six neurosurgeons and six radia-tion oncologists from Knoxville area hospitals participate regularly at the Fort Sanders Gamma Knife Center.
The biggest benefi t of the Gam-ma Knife is its ability to treat multi-ple tumors at once, up to 15 or more. The Leksell Gamma Knife Perfexion is designed to allow treatment of multiple metastatic brain tumors developed from primary cancers outside the brain such as lung, breast, ovarian, colorectal, kidney 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 precision,” explains Fort Sanders neurosurgeon Dr. Joel Norman. “When you’re de-livering radiation to the brain, par-ticularly around the brain stem or optic nerves that control eyesight, precision is everything.”
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 available cranial radiosurgical technology.”
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.

865-541-4000.
Joseph Meyer, MD
ity of whole-brain radiation is that it can affect cognitive function,” added Meyer. “It’s diffi cult to pre-dict, but (impairment) may be more prevalent in older patients.”
While it spares the rest of the brain, the drawback of Gamma Knife radiosurgery alone is that cancer is more likely in other parts of the brain, Meyer said. In Prof-fi tt’s case, the tumors returned, and she had another Gamma Knife treatment in April 2014.
“After any Gamma Knife treat-
ment, we continue to keep an eye on patients and follow up every two to three months,” Meyer ex-plained.
Proffi tt said she would recom-mend the care at Fort Sanders andThompson Cancer Survival Cen-ter to anyone facing cancer treat-ments.
“They’re wonderful,” she said.“They work as a team and theykeep all of my doctors informed of what happened. They’re just really super nice.”

Both are safely inside the playoff bubble at the mo-ment, but neither Gibbs nor Central is resting easy.
Win and you’re in
The Bobcats travel to the Eagles’ nest on Friday with a spot in next week’s Class 5A playoffs a certainty for the winner. Several four-win teams statewide will make
Gibbs, Central
looking to take
guesswork out of
playoff berth
for some intense scoreboard watching late Friday for the loser.
Kickoff at Gibbs is 7:30 p.m.
Entering Friday, the Eagles (5-4, 3-4 District 4AAA) occupy the No. 25 position in the Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association’s updated Class 5A postseason selections. The Bobcats (4-5, 3-4) are three spots back at 28.
The top 32 after Friday make the playoffs. Playoff pairings are released Sat-urday.
The Eagles and Bobcats both have reasons to feel good about their chances Friday. Gibbs quarterback Preston Booth had a hand in four Eagle touchdowns in the opening half in a 39-6 win at Powell last week.
Running for three scores, the Gibbs fi eld general also had a 49-yard touchdown pass to Ethan Warden. Brendan Wilson ran back a Powell punt 41 yards for a touchdown.
Central didn’t fare so well last week at Oak Ridge, fall-ing to the Wildcats, 48-7, but look closer.
The unbeaten Wildcats, who meet equally unbeaten Anderson County for the district championship on Friday, led the Bobcats, 3-0, at halftime. Jeremiah How-ard ran for 100 yards on 12 carries with an 11-yard scoring run against Oak Ridge. At least three quar-ters of that kind of football, and Central is sure to be in the hunt on Friday.
Last meeting: 2013 – Gibbs 24, Central 14
The Breakdown: This one could hardly be any closer.
With Booth running the show, Gibbs has looked su-per in wins over Karns (34-17) and Powell (39-6) in its last two games. Central has one of the area’s top play-makers in senior receiver Cedric Washington. Junior quarterback Austin Kirby is a cool-headed passer with plenty of targets in addition to Washington.
The big ones are always won with defense, and in se-nior Hunter Lane, a 6-foot-3, 250-pound All-State defensive end selection a year ago, Gibbs has one of the best on that side of the ball you’ll see this season. If Central can’t keep him out of Kirby’s backfi eld, it could be a long night.

Amazing that what hap-pened to Justin Worley changed the appearance of Tennessee football.
Thousands of Butch Jones advisers can now see clearly what the coach had overlooked.
In the fi rst game of this new season, Joshua Dobbs made a remarkable differ-ence. His quickness reduced the pressure on the offen-sive line. His speed gener-ated yardage. His ability to throw on the run created problems for cornerbacks.
Astounding that without playing even one previous snap this season, Dobbs was able to produce a couple of rare touchdowns.
OK, there was less heat. The game was essentially
Marvin West
20/20 hindsight: Sad that it took an injury
over by the time Dobbs en-tered. And his two turnovers contributed to the wreckage that was the eighth consec-utive loss to Alabama.
Josh was not responsible for Amari Cooper. The Tide wideout chewed up Volun-teer pass defenders with a world-record 185 receiving yards in the fi rst quarter. Offensive coordinator Lane Kiffi n smiled as if he had a little something to do with it.
That dull pain and the
3-5 Tennessee record now have some new feel-better companions – a hint of opti-mism, a ray of hope, even the possibility of better things to come before next year or the next. If there are enough able bodies for a quorum, we’ll fi nd out Saturday night at South Carolina whether this is real or a mirage.
In a weird way, Worley brought this on. The gutty gladiator took the beating, week after week, the price for inept blocking and no running game. The fi nal straw, an injury to his shoul-der at Ole Miss, forced Jones to cancel the red-shirt plan and allow Dobbs to play.
Those with fl awless 20/20 hindsight may think they see that withholding
him for seven games cost a victory or two.
This is called hindsight bias, the tendency to seize a tidbit of new information and alter the facts, to adjust what really happened into what might have or could have or should have. Some so affl icted may even believe they knew it was going to end up this way and why in the heck did it take so long.
Jones left the impression that he waited as long as he could, until late August, before choosing a starting quarterback. He probably had valid reasons for pick-ing Worley. Maturity, poise, strength, experience and practice performance could have been in the equation.
Under the assumption
that the future just has to be better than the recent past, the coach decided to save a season of Josh eligi-bility until it would be more meaningful, until he could gather more talent around him. Butch gambled that these Vols could qualify for a bowl game without a dual-threat quarterback.
It was going to be really close. It may still be.
Alas, there is now way to know if Dobbs could have made the difference against Florida. All we know for sure is that Worley didn’t.
The need for a quarter-back who can run has been borderline desperate. Fans understood. Through loud exclamations, they’ve been trying to help the coach.
Perhaps you have heard it.“We need a quarterback
that can run! Everybody hasone.”
“Butch thinks a ‘mobilequarterback’ is anyone whocan do the Vol Walk.”
“We may never beat the bigboys unless we get a versatilequarterback, a playmakerwith another dimension.”
“Tennessee needs a dual-threat quarterback” soundslike an old phonographrecord with a bad groove.Paying customers have beensinging that tune, over andover, since Condredge Hol-loway. That was the 1970s.
Dobbs isn’t the “ArtfulDodger” but he’s a reasonablefacsimile. We’ll see if chang-ing shirts changes November.(Marvin West invites reader reaction. Hisaddress is [email protected]).
