By Betty BeanHer name was Opal William-

son, but everyone called her Nan-ny. She loved her family, Carter Valley Missionary Baptist Church and slapstick humor. Her great-granddaughter Gabby Bogart says her Nanny’s chicken and dump-lings were amazing.

But that was before demen-tia clouded her mind and made it impossible for her to live at home, so she spent the last years of her life at Beverly Park Place Health and Rehabilitation (for-merly Hillcrest North). Gabby, who is a 12-year-old Gresham Middle School 7th grader, visited her regularly, with her little sis-ter, Christina in tow.

This fact alone makes Gabby Bogart pretty unusual, says San-dra Maples, the activities director at Beverly Park Place. “We’ve got a lot (of patients) who don’t have families; a lot who have families that don’t show up,” Maples said.

But what makes Gabby re-ally stand out among the visitors who come in and out of the nurs-ing home is this – even after her Nanny’s death on Sept. 6, Gabby is thinking about the people who are still there.

“It was always cold in there, summer and winter,” Gabby said. “They keep the air conditioning on, and a lot of the patients don’t have warm blankets or warm socks. I was cold whenever I went there, even with my sweatshirt on.”

It was during her Nanny’s last week of life that Gabby came up with the idea that she’s tentatively dubbed “Blankets of Hope.” She

By Sandra ClarkJim Hill made a few remarks

before leaving the board of the Hallsdale Powell Utility District where he has served since 1974. Mayor Tim Burchett rejected HPUD’s three nominees, forcing the utility to submit another list of three.

Lawyer Bud Gilbert told the board of commissioners that Bur-chett can select a commissioner off the next list or can again reject the nominees. To prevent a stale-mate, state law requires the coun-ty mayor to select from a possible

third list of nominees or the top name on that list automatically

gets a four-year term.

Interested per-sons should con-tact CEO Darren Cardwell to obtain an application. The existing com-missioners will evaluate nomi-nees and select a

list of three. Commissioners earn $350 per month.

Hill called the commissioner’s

job “thankless,” but said it was a great honor to have served. He said HPUD has “top-notch people doing a fabulous job.” He paid tribute to former managers Allan Gill and Marvin Hammond and “all the commissioners with whom I’ve served.”

Hill called for a review of the district’s pension plan, “a fair salary scale,” and a look at train-ing and professional develop-ment. He suggested a rate review to “give a break” to seniors and people on fixed incomes and said a merger with another utility

might lead to shared costs and savings.

In August, HPUD set 27 water meters and inspected 20 sewer hookups. The district treated 247.9 million gallons of water and 175.7 million gallons of waste-water. Commissioners OK’d a fi -nal payment of $74,061 to Merit Construction for basin repairs at the Melton Hill Water Treatment Plant and set the next meeting for 1:30 p.m. Monday, Oct. 8.

CEO Darren Cardwell said more than 300 people had applied for two jobs in customer service.

Jaclyn and Gabby Bogart

Gresham student starts blanket driveplans to collect warm, fuzzy twin-sized blankets, socks and stuffed toys to distribute to Beverly Park Place residents. She has told her family that this is what she wants for Christmas this year.

“I’m hoping we could make them feel like family,” Gabby said.

Her mother, Jaclyn Bogart, is going to help, and says the comfort items can be gently used, as well as new. She has agreed to make sure they get to where they need to go. She is very proud of her daughter.

“Gabby often wondered why there are no decorations, no col-orful blankets or anything on some of the beds. I told her that some people that are in there do not have family. She said, ‘Mom, this year I want to collect as many blankets and socks as I can and take to the nursing home to show these people that they are loved,’” Jaclyn said.

Classmates and friends at Gresham have gotten involved, as well.

Guidance counselor Marc Sand-lin has pitched in, and so has Cricket Prentiss, who teaches Gabby’s AVID class (Advancement Via Individual Determination is a college readi-ness program with a public service component).

“Gabby came to me and her AVID teacher, and since part of their curriculum is to do commu-nity service projects, Ms. Prentiss is delighted to help, and so am I. Any time a kid wants to get outside themselves, we’re all for it,” Sand-lin said.

West is HallsB&P speaker

Shopper-News columnist Marvin West will be the guest

speaker at the Halls Business and Profes-sional Associa-tion member-ship meeting at noon Tuesday, Sept. 18, at Beaver Brook Country Club.

West is a former sports editor at the Knoxville News Sentinel. He is the author of “Tales of the Tennessee Vols.” All are invited. Lunch is $10.

By Sandra ClarkBeaver Creek is coming back.

“We’re seeing improvement,” said Roy Arthur, watershed coordina-

tor for Knox Coun-ty. “We started the restoration fi ve years ago with a 15-year plan. We should see real progress in anoth-er fi ve years.”

Arthur hosted the annual meet-ing of the Beaver

Creek Task Force last week at the Hallsdale Powell Utility District. Some 50 individuals including two from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in Atlanta attended. Vivian Doyle, Tennessee watershed coordinator for EPA Region 4, is very familiar with what we’re doing and is supportive, Arthur said.

HPUD president Darren Cardwell spoke about ways the utility has improved water quality, primar-ily through construction of a new wastewater treatment plant on Bea-ver Creek. Then the group toured fi ve facilities: HPUD’s new headquar-ters, Arthur’s stream restoration project at the Halls Comunity Park, the Halls High Outdoor Classroom, the Brickey-McCloud stormwater wetland which HPUD built to fi lter runoff from school property, and the Powell Station Park Rain Garden.

Is there hope that Beaver Creek can get off the state’s list of im-paired streams?

Absolutely, said Arthur.Already a tributary, Cox Creek

which feeds into Beaver Creek near Mill Run subdivision in Halls, has been “delisted.” A segment of Bull Run Creek has been delisted as well after improvements to nearby

farms kept waste out of the creek.The Beaver Creek Task Force

is a consortium of businesses and agencies that which meet occa-sionally to catch up.

Arthur said three big projects are ahead:

■ Knox County will be repair-ing 1,200 feet of stream near Cox Creek between Brown Gap and Crippen roads in Halls.

■ Knox County and a home-owners association will collabo-rate to alleviate fl ooding at Cedar Crossing subdivision and the Vil-las at Cedar Crossing. The design bid closed Sept. 14 and the design should be fi nished in six weeks, Arthur said.

The county will install a bio-retention facility on the commu-nity’s common area that will cap-ture the fi rst inch of rainfall. The homeowners association plans

improvements to enhance the common area, he said. “They are creating their own mini-park.”

Additionally, the county contract-ed with Dr. Andrea Ludwick of UT’s bio-system engineering and soil sci-ence department to collect and study rainfall. Her team has worked for 15 months in Cedar Crossing. Also, Ar-thur has assisted in establishing rain gardens and has installed 10 rain barrels at Cedar Crossing.

■ The third project is at Karnsin the Painter Farm subdivision where Knox County is working with the Legacy Parks Foundation to develop a stormwater demon-stration site on 11 acres.

“Now all the runoff goes straight into Beaver Creek,” Arthur said. “We’ll start grading and stabiliz-ing that site next month. When fi n-ished it will resemble what HPUD did at Brickey-McCloud.”

Ed Smith has lived in Broadacres for a long time. The retired employee of Associated Press says he will continue as president of the Broadacres Homeowners Association until he reaches the membership plateau that means he’s leaving the group better than he found it.

Ed likes his old brown truck, saying he bought it used and in mint condition. After a few weeks, he had dented the hood, busted a taillight and been rear-ended. “It still runs great,” he said.

He got that Bill Haslam window sticker after he walked the gubernatorial candidate through Broadacres. He recalls getting up really early to meet Haslam. As he left, wife Vicki said, “Do not bring that man here.”

Of course, the first stop was Ed’s own house. He hid behind a shrub as a surprised Vicki opened the door to confront the future governor.

Ed and Vicki landscape the entrances to Broadacres. Both are all-around good neighbors.

Ed has survived brain surgery. He is also a longtime employee at the Knox County Clerk’s office. He’s a longtime Powell community activist and is an enthusiastic supporter of U.S. Rep. John Duncan.

Sit with a cup of coffee and get to know Ed Smith:

Scott Bacon and Mary Kerr say that this year’s Knox County Schools cou-pon book sales are going well this year.

Copper Ridge Elementary 5th grade student Cassie Norris won

a drawing to be on several of the Knox County Schools Coupon

Books this year. Cassie sold 262 books last year.

Coupon book sales going well

“Several schools have already sold half of their books,” Kerr said last Thursday.

This year’s book features 45 new merchants, includ-ing Outback Steakhouse, Alumni Hall, Krystal and Gap. The goal is to sell 160,000 books systemwide.

Copper Ridge Elementa-ry School 5th grader Cassie Norris was chosen by drawing to have her photo appear on several coupon books this year. Cassie sold 262 books last year.

“I just felt like I needed to help out my school,” she said.

“We also had a run of high school activity this week,” says Bacon, who is the school system’s super-visor of business partner-ships. “That’s a result of the high schools (selling) books by club or group or sports team. (Of the $10 cost for

one book) $7.90 stays right at the school, so for exam-ple, the South-Doyle foot-ball team is selling books to raise money for sideline tarp.”

This year, Walgreens is also offering 15 percent off total purchase on offi cially-licensed high school mer-chandise.

When Democratic leg-islative candidate Gloria Johnson fi les her next fi -nancial disclosure report, she might list the Republi-can controlled Knox County Election Commission as an “in kind donation” for “campaign publicity and exposure with high value.”

Why?The closure of the Belle

Morris voting precinct, in the heart of state House District 13, has been a political gift which keeps on giving. It has kept John-son’s name before the pub-lic all summer and all with-out her spending a dime.

Johnson’s name and photo appear in articles and on television. This has been going on since summer. Meanwhile, her Republican opponent, Gary Loe, has been as quiet as a church mouse. While Loe had nothing to do with the deci-sion to close the voting site, he has not voiced a word in opposition to it either.

The fi ve members of the Knox County Election Commission are all politi-cally appointed. In reality the Knox state legislators of both parties recommend the Democrats and Repub-licans to serve. Since the GOP controls the legisla-ture they also control each of the county election com-missions. Attorney Chris Heagerty serves as chair.

Personally, I do not think the EC closed Belle Morris as a partisan gesture. In fact, Democrat Cassandra Stuart voted at fi rst with the Republicans to close the precinct at the recom-mendation of Cliff Rodgers, administrator of elections. She has since learned from local Democrats that she needs to support keeping Belle Morris open as a vot-ing site.

However, it is clear the election staff and GOP commissioners never seri-ously considered the politi-cal consequences of their action. Had they done so, surely they would have postponed this controver-sial decision to 2013. They never considered that the Democratic party chair, Gloria Johnson, lived there and would make it a public issue, along with former County Commissioner Mark Harmon. Both know a good news story and how to work it. Even the Knox County Commission de-bated this.

The Johnson-Loe contest is considered close. The seat is now held by Demo-crat Harry Tindell. As few as 500 votes out of 10,000 votes cast could separate the winner from the loser. Independent Nick Cazana is on the ballot, too.

Thanks, guys!

The closure has surely stirred up a hornet’s nest. While few who live outside the former Belle Morris precinct may care about its closure, it has generated countywide attention. Belle Morris has always been a bellwether ward. It could go Democratic or Republican.

This November, voter turnout will be high and voters normally accus-tomed to voting at Belle Morris may resent having to go elsewhere to vote.

Not only has Johnson gotten free media, she has been seen as a champion of transparency for the Elec-tion Commission which meets inconveniently at 8 a.m. most times. The com-mission never met in the area to seek public input. And a recent public meeting resulted in heated personal words between commis-sioners and Harmon.

Since the stated reason for closing Belle Morris was lack of access for the dis-abled, that has triggered ar-ticles on the disabled voting in Knoxville and once again Johnson is mentioned. The most recent story focused on highly popular and respected Appeals Judge Charles Susano and how he votes with his disability.

Of course, there are other issues which the win-ner will actually vote on in Nashville such as taxes, schools, vouchers, parks, transportation and green-ways not to mention local government mandates and health care.

These issues have been sidetracked. Perhaps in the next four weeks leading up to early voting, they will surface – perhaps in a de-bate at Belle Morris School.

If Johnson wins, a thank you note should go to the Election Commission.

Briggs brings back billboard banOn Monday, Sept. 24,

County Commissioner Richard Briggs will be bringing a billboard ban back to his colleagues.

It’s no secret that Briggs doesn’t care for billboards, especially the ones with blinky lights that stand close to neighborhoods. He started working to regu-late them almost as soon as he took offi ce in 2008, and wanted to ban any new billboards in order to bring the county in step with the city, which enacted a mora-torium in 2001. He said he has had many constituent requests for the measure.

“In 2008, I had a reso-lution for a moratorium on permits for new bill-boards,” he said. “It was a ban on conversion of ex-isting billboards to digital billboards. I think there are six (of the digital bill-

boards) in Knox County.”Four years later, he

doesn’t stint on colorful lan-guage to describe his feel-ings about billboards.

“There’s that big one along the interstate at Crossville. You can see it fl ashing three miles away. Can you imagine living any-where near that? I personal-ly fi nd digital billboards the most obnoxious,” he said.

“We already have so many billboards close to neighborhoods and they project so much light, for such a distance. They pro-duce a kaleidoscope of lights fl ashing across your

backyard. Orange, purple, red – imagine what it’s like to have those lights fl ashing in your bedroom window all night long.”

But that’s not the only problem that bothers Dr. Briggs.

Safety is as big an issue as aesthetics, he said. EMCs and digital billboards are distracting to passing mo-torists.

“I think we have enough driving distractions already with cellphones, etc.,” he said.

So on Sept. 24, Briggs will bring another ban to his commission colleagues. This one will be more com-prehensive, and he plans to do it in three separate mea-sures: one to ban all new billboards in Knox County; another to prohibit conver-sions of traditional bill-boards to digital billboards;

the other to ban all electron-ic message centers (EMCs).

Last February, the Met-ropolitan Planning Com-mission presented a bill-board ban to County Com-mission that would prohibit new outdoor advertising not attached to buildings and grandfather in existing bill-boards.

County Commission was preparing to enter a diffi cult round of budget hearings and voted to defer the MPC proposal.

Briggs is concerned that there might be some pro-cedural diffi culties recon-ciling his proposal with the MPC plan.

“I wish they would just withdraw their plan,” he said.

Expect to see billboard companies in full force to keep their industry alive and moving toward digital technology.

And be prepared for a long day at County Com-mission.

Cell towers win at MPCTwo more wireless com-

munications towers will be built in North Knox follow-ing action by the Metropoli-tan Planning Commission last week. Objecting neigh-bors have 15 days to appeal to City Council, but it’s un-likely the MPC decision will be overturned.

That’s because, as MPC Deputy Director Buz John-son said, “We have very lit-tle wiggle room.”

He said Federal Commu-nications Commission (FCC) guidelines limit local restric-tions on cell tower locations.

That did not stop Bob Wolfenbarger and the Alice Bell Spring Hill Homeown-ers Association from op-posing a 150-foot monopole

tower at the intersection of Washington Pike and South Mall Road where the com-munity has landscaped and installed a “welcome” sign.

“This is not a NIMBY (not in my backyard) issue,” said Wolfenbarger. “This (sign) is literally on our front porch.”

But MPC commissioner Bart Carey said the Alice Bell Spring Hill community lost its backyard and front porch with the construction of I-640.

Jean Greer presented a petition signed by 180 residents in opposition to a proposed 195-foot mono-pole tower on land owned by Trinity Church.

Greer said the tower will be “literally feet” from the en-trance to Sterchi School. Of-fi cials from U.S. Cellular said the company could make do with a 170-foot tower.

By Anne HartLongtime party activist

Ruthie Kuhlman is presi-dent of West Knox Repub-lican Club, replacing Gary Loe, a candidate for the state House in District 13.

Loe had resigned the position, saying that he is working to represent all residents of the 13th Dis-trict and feels it is inappro-priate for him to remain as chair of a purely partisan organization.

Loe’s opponents in the general election are Gloria Johnson, chair of the Knox County Democratic Party, and independent Nick Ca-zana.

State GOP chair Chris Devaney said the major goals of the state party this year are to re-elect U.S. Sen. Bob Corker and U.S.

Rep. John Duncan, to add two Republican members to the state House and two Republican members to the state Senate “to provide a walkout-proof quorum,” and to elect Mitt Romney president.

Devaney said the Demo-cratic Party on the state level “is supporting Gloria Johnson as a last stand, but we all know we can’t elect people like Barack Obama and Gloria John-son. We need Gary Loe in Nashville.”

Loe recently received the endorsement of the National Federation of In-dependent Business, based on his positions and record on small business issues.

Loe called the endorse-ment critical to his cam-paign. “Small business

owners and their employ-ees vote in high numbers and are known for actively recruiting friends, fam-ily members and acquain-tances to go to the polls. NFIB has pledged it will activate its grassroots net-work on behalf of my cam-paign.”

Upcoming Loe events: ■ Wednesday at noon, Jim

Haslam and House Speaker Beth Harwell will sponsor a

fundraiser luncheon at Club LeConte. Cost is $100 per couple, $250 to host and $500 to sponsor.

■ Tuesday, Sept. 25, 11:30 a.m., Howard and Kenny Phil-lips will host a fundraiser for Loe and other GOP candi-dates at Powell Auction on Pleasant Ridge Road. There is no charge.

■ From 5-7:30 that day, a $100 per couple fundraiser at The Orangery. The Brad Walk-er Orchestra will play.

TALES OF TENNESSEE | Marvin West

Good friend Carl, im-pressed by the possibil-

ities of Tennessee playmak-ers, said wouldn’t it have been something if Da’Rick had been a boy scout and Janzen Jackson had run away from trouble.

Sad that two all-Ameri-cans were wasted. Oh, the things that might have been.

Rearranging history is a splendid idea. Let’s waste four minutes playing “what if?”

What if Justin Hunter and Tyler Bray had not been injured last season? Indeed, they and Jackson might have saved a game or three. Last year would not have been this year but the hole would not have been quite so deep.

You can take “what if?” and “might have been” any-where you want to go, all the way back to the second be-ginning.

What if Captain Robert Reese Neyland, 33, too tall in the spring of 1925 for his little grey desk at the U.S. Military Academy, had re-mained on duty and surren-dered his idea of applying military tactics to football?

What if he had been less logical in seeking employ-ment? He had heard about comparable openings. He studied a map and concluded that Iowa was probably sur-rounded by corn and cows. There might be people scat-tered around East Tennessee.

He had seen some Vol-unteer hillbillies two years earlier. They came to West Point. They brought their own barrel of home-grown apples as snacks. They lost, 41-0.

Neyland suspected Ten-nessee had no way to go but up.

What would have hap-pened if Bowden Wyatt had mothballed the single-wing, installed the T formation and successfully recruited quarterbacks Steve Spur-rier from Johnson City and Steve Sloan from Cleveland?

A historic crossroads ran through a smoke-fi lled room, early December 1963 athletic board meeting. What if Murray Warmath advocates had won that late-night debate and Bob Wood-ruff had been discarded? Who else knew Arkansas assistant Doug Dickey had great leadership potential?

What if Tom Fisher, 1965

“I don’t think much in terms of forgiveness,” my friend said.

I was stunned. I had been the one asking for the forgiveness and do-ing so in earnest. To have it brushed aside was a shock. To have it, in es-sence, refused was un-imaginable to me.

How does the world go on if we don’t ask and re-ceive (as well as be asked for and grant) forgive-ness?

There is a humility re-quired to ask for forgive-ness. One has to be pre-pared to say, “I was wrong. I should not have said [or done or allowed or thought] that.”

The concept of for-giveness runs through-out the Prophets and the Gospels and Epistles.

I wondered, though, where in the Bible the concept first appeared. Turns out, we get all the way to the last chapter of Genesis before the word “forgive” appears.

The scene features Jo-seph, now prime minister of Egypt, and his miser-able brothers who sold him into slavery because of their jealousy. Their father Jacob is dead, and the brothers realize that now there is no one stand-ing between them and their powerful brother, who surely must hold a monumental grudge for the way they planned fi rst to murder him and then settled for selling him to some passing Egyptians and lying to their father about it.

It is here that the broth-

How to

forgive

Realizing that their father was dead, Joseph’s brothers said, “What if Joseph still bears a grudge against us and pays us back in full for the wrong that we did to him?” So they approached Joseph, saying, “Your father gave this instruction before he died, ‘Say to Joseph: I beg you forgive the crime of your brothers and the wrong they did in harming you.’ Now therefore please forgive the crime of the servants of the God of your father.” Joseph wept when they spoke to him.

ers tell Joseph that Jacob had sent word before his death that he (Joseph) should forgive his broth-ers the wrongs they com-mitted against him. We are left in the dark, just as Joseph is, as to the truth-fulness of this claim. The Bible does not record that Jacob actually said such a thing.

But Joseph is a better man than his brothers, and declines to be their judge and jury. “Don’t be afraid,” he reassures them. “Am I in the place of God? You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the sav-ing of many lives.”

The “take-away les-sons” from this story are several:

Sometimes scoundrels get away with it.

Forgiveness is a heal-thy thing.

God is God and we are not.

The other thing I can’t help noticing is that God can take a horrible situa-tion and redeem it. When humans mess up God’s plans, God’s order, God can fi nd a way to turn it to good. God did it then, and God now works at it every day.

What if Dickey had stayed longer?

What if a better support-ing cast had surrounded Stanley Morgan? He might have won the 1976 Heisman Trophy. He was the focal point out of necessity. He holds the UT record for ca-reer all-purpose yards.

What might have hap-pened if Chuck Webb, 5-10 and 195, had retained two good legs? Webb had power, quickness, balance, speed and could see things be-fore they happened. He had a good game against Ole Miss, 294 yards rushing. He played pretty well, 250

yards, against Arkansas in the 1990 Cotton Bowl.

What if John Majors had remained healthy and rea-sonably happy? What if he had taken off all of 1992, regained full strength and coached another eight or 10 years at Tennessee?

Would Phillip Fulmer have made it to the Hall of Fame from another di-rection? Without Fulmer and David Cutcliffe, where would Peyton Manning have gone? Ouch.

Old Timers’ Day at Mount Harmony BaptistBy Theresa Edwards

Mount Harmony Baptist Church in Heiskell celebrated “Old Timers’ Day” with a spe-cial historical presentation about the church and commu-nity by Dan West, music and a picnic-style dinner outdoors.

“I really enjoyed hear-ing about the history of the

church,” said Tony Thomp-son before he sang. “There’s a lot of wonderful history and wonderful people who made up the church.”

The Rev. Bradford De-Marcus was the fi rst church pastor, serving 1849-1899. “It’s remarkable that one man would serve that many years

in one church,” said West.Michael Parsley is the cur-

rent pastor. He explained that it is the ancestors of those attending the celebra-tion who set the foundations for the church and commu-nity. Many are buried in the cemetery nearby. The land for the cemetery and church

were donated by Samuel Wil-liams, the great-great-great-grandfather of church mem-ber Les Williams.

The church invites the community to its fall rum-mage sale 8 a.m. Oct. 5-6. Mount Harmony Baptist Church is located at 819 Rac-coon Valley Road in Heiskell.

Benefi t concert at Trinity ChapelBy Cindy Taylor

Meghann and Derrick Overholt will host a fund-raiser 5 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 22, at Trinity Chapel to cel-ebrate the life and memory of their son, Elisha, who passed in 2011. Proceeds will go to East Tennessee Children’s Hospital.

Meghann grew up in Halls and Derrick is from the Gibbs/Corryton area. The couple met at Trinity Chapel and married in De-cember 2006. They hadn’t planned to start a family until five years into their marriage, but after only three years the couple had a change of heart.

We decided that we should trust God and have faith that the timing would be just right,” said Meghann. “I found out I was pregnant in January 2010. We were so excited.”

After an uneventful pregnancy and birth the couple brought home their beautiful baby boy, Elisha Israel, on Sept. 24, 2010.

During the first 24-hour check-up a nurse noticed that Elisha’s breathing was too fast. The family was sent to the ER at Children’s Hospital and Elisha was admitted when the physi-cians found an abnormal-ity with his heart. This was only the first round of bad news the family would receive in the com-ing months.

“We went from having a perfectly normal pregnan-cy and a wonderful birth to a mother’s worst nightmare in a matter of seconds,” said Meghann. “But Elisha smiled and laughed and played like nothing in the world was bothering him.”

Elisha was in the NICU for seven days where doc-tors discovered other

health issues: meconium aspiration syndrome, hearing loss, a blood dis-order, undescended tes-ticles and several different heart problems. On July 14, 2011, Elisha under-went open heart surgery at Vanderbilt Children’s Hos-pital but went into cardiac arrest and did not survive the surgery.

“We were with Elisha when he took his first breath and we were with him when he breathed his last,” said Meghann.

Through Elisha’s pass-ing the couple says God has used them to lead two family members to Christ and provided several coun-seling opportunities.

“We still struggle with Elisha’s death but we know that God is with us,” said Meghann. “God gave His own son so He under-stands completely what we are going through.”

“When we were in NICU at Children’s, we were treated so well and they made the room feel

more like a home than a hospital,” said Derrick. “When we asked how they were able to supply all the snacks and blankets, we were told they were pri-vately donated.”

Through the generosity of their church and East Tennessee Children’s Hos-pital, the couple was left with no medical bills or fu-neral expenses.

With this fundraiser they hope to minister to other families who spend time in NICU. Musicians who are volunteering their time and a portion of the proceeds from CD sales are Seth Buchanan, Heart to Heart and Eternal Vision. Food for sale will be do-nated by Sam and Andy’s with all proceeds going to the hospital.

Trinity Chapel is located at 5830 Haynes Sterchi Road. Admission will be two new receiving blankets or a minimum donation of $5. All are invited to come and eat and stay for the music.

City started its Parent’s Night Out minis-try three years ago and the fi rst Friday of each month continues to be a blessing for parents.

Children 6 weeks old through 5th grade are provided with snacks, crafts, movies, games and playtime in a safe, spiritually-based environment. Parents can drop off their kids as early as 6 p.m. and pick them back up by 10:30 p.m. Cost ranges from $20-$45 depending on the number of chil-dren in the family.

“Part of our mission as a church is to be

a help to families so children can grow up strong and healthy,” said ministry founder and director Christina Perkins. “When I had my fi rst child, there was a church that was do-ing this, and when we moved and became a part of Central Baptist, I approached the pas-tor about starting the program here.”

Perkins says the children who attend love it so much they encourage their parents to go out so they can come to the church.

“The children come skipping in and are happy when the parents come to pick them up,” said Perkins. “Providing this ministry is an exciting opportunity.”

Shopper-News Presents Miracle Makers

By Jake Mabe

J im Porter makes it clear quickly. He’s just one spoke in the wheel at Powell High School. His job, he says, depends on others

– teachers, guidance counselors, staff members, principal Ken Dunlap. Por-ter says the graduation coach at Pow-ell High is “a jack of all trades” and he calls it a work in progress.

Porter began the role last school year by teaching two recovery credit classes and meeting with students with academic diffi culties during the other two class periods. This year, he’s teaching three classes. He works with sophomores, juniors and seniors at the beginning of the school year and starts working with freshmen after their fi rst semester.

“We start as early as we can, identi-fying students who might need (extra help). Teachers refer students to me and we ask, ‘is this student on track to graduate and, if not, what do we need to do to get them on track?’ And we’ve had some great fi nds, students who might have fallen through the cracks otherwise.

“Getting them here? That’s over half the battle right there. If they’re not here, we can’t teach them. Our goal is to get them to that diploma. And we’d love to give it to them here at Powell High School, or if that means them going to the (Kelley Academy) or to the adult high school. As long as we can keep them think-ing about the high school diploma, that’s what I’m after.”

Online courses are sometimes used in the recovery credit classes. They are self-paced programs that include courses required for graduation.

“Last spring, we had a student who had two weeks until deadline for graduation who still hadn’t taken English IV. Working day and night (online), the student got it done. That student was very much an ex-ception, an above average student to begin with. But, students can take the online classes and work on them at home and in school in recovery credit classes. We also had one stu-dent who gained three credits on top of the classes they were taking, so they walked out of the semester with 11 credits instead of eight.”

Something is working. This year, Powell was the only high school in Knox County to be named a Rewards School by Gov. Bill Haslam for being among the top fi ve percent of schools in the state in annual growth.

Porter again gives credit to the entire school staff, saying students receive help from all of them.

Porter says staff makes the difference at Powell High

One spoke in the wheel

“(Powell) is the only school I’ve ever taught at. It’s evolved in differ-ent ways, but people (always) em-brace not only our traditions but the camaraderie of the school. We’re not afraid to share ideas and help each other out.”

Porter says he visits a lot of class-rooms during the course of his day.

“One of Mr. Dunlap’s famous phrases is ‘Go teach like your hair is on fi re.’ Every time I go into a classroom, these teachers are teaching. They care about the stu-dents and they care about the fact that we’re trying to get them to graduation. But, with that big goal in mind, they’re also trying to get them to learn. It’s not just about earning a credit, it’s also about learning (the subject).”

Porter says teaching has never and will never be just an eight-hour job.

“You do carry it with you. Teach-ers bring papers home to grade after they’ve had family time. And you go to bed thinking about it and you wake up thinking about it.”

Joking that he’s willing to steal any good idea, Porter says the school might implement something simi-lar to Carter High School’s Hornet Watch, which tracks the potential graduation rate of each class based on the number of credits each stu-dent has earned plus real-time data.

“Carter used it to identify the most at-risk kids in each grade level. It’s just a tool to help us identify where we stand.”

Saying, “We try to build the kids up,” Porter adds that the school also

holds drawings for students with perfect attendance, for example, and gives them various donations from local businesses.

He says if he knew nearly 30 years ago what he knows now, he would have become a guidance counselor.

“There are times when you don’t succeed. But there are great times when you see a student that just blossoms, just comes alive, even if it’s at the last minute, and they make it happen and get through high school. More likely than not, they continue on with their education.”

And, with that, Jim Porter tries to duck getting his picture taken, says he doesn’t want to be singled out and repeats for the 100th time that he’s but one member of a great staff at Powell High School.

SSoutheastoutheastTERMITE AND PEST CONTROL

Central High remembers 9/11Retired Army Lt. Col. George Massey (pictured) stood be-

fore a packed auditorium at Central High School on Tues-

day, Sept. 11, and refl ected on the morning of Sept. 11,

2001. Massey called that day “horrendous” and a day that

changed our world. “The positive outcome from the attacks

was that the country rallied together against a common

enemy, (there was) an outpouring of pride in the country

and the public was more openly supportive of the military.”

With the attacks, the country lost a certain number of free-

doms and the country as a whole lost some innocence. The

Central High Select Choraliers sang several patriotic songs

including “The Battle Hymn of the Republic,” “America the

Beautiful” and “The Patriotic Salute.” Photo by Ruth White

A day to remember and honorChief Todd Johnson receives a certifi cate of appreciation

from Cadet Lt. Col. Nathan Wech at Gibbs High School.

Students and staff members gathered on Tuesday

morning, the 11th anniversary of the terrorist attacks, to

honor and remember fallen heroes. Johnson was on hand

to speak with the group and reminded students to “never

forget those who have gone before us.” The Gibbs High

choral department sang “America the Beautiful” and “Star

Spangled Banner” before Hannah Hamblin closed the

ceremony with taps. Photo by Ruth White

By Ruth WhiteGiving back to the com-

munity is important to the Girl Scouts organization. It is also important to 2012 Halls High graduate Helen Wilds.

Wilds has been a mem-ber of Girls Scouts since she was in the 2nd grade at Halls Elementary. With the guidance of her mom (and troop leader) Martha, Helen has learned to give back to her community and help others in need.

She has spent the past year working toward earn-ing the Gold Award, the highest honor given to a Girl Scout. Although her project sounds simple, it required hours of plan-ning, collecting, packaging and delivering. To Wilds, every moment spent has been worth the effort. Not just for earning the Gold Award, but also seeing the faces of children when they reap the benefits of her hard work.

Her project was to collect coloring books and crayons and deliver as packages to patients at Children’s Hos-

pital. Wilds collected more than enough to hand out to patients on any given day – close to 800 color-ing books to hand out daily while they lasted. She was truly overwhelmed by the support from the commu-nity in helping her bring smiles to children as they face uncertainty.

Wilds delivered the fi rst batch of coloring books to the hospital last week and handed them out in the waiting room for patients receiving tests. “It was so much fun to visit with the children,” she said, “and the parents were very ap-preciative as the children often waited long periods of time while tests were run.”

For older patients Wilds created a book filled with puzzles, facts and coloring pages. She had them print-ed and personally bound them at home.

Having earned her Gold Award, she is now earn-ing her Religious Award by working closely with a minister and teaching a six- to eight-week Bible study.

HPUD’s Board of Com-missioners is comprised of three commissioners, who are each appointed by the Knox County Mayor for a staggered four-year term from a list of three nominees selected by the current HPUD Board of Commissioners.

HPUD’s Board of Commissioners is vested with the general power and authority over the utility district, which is managed and operated on a day-to-day basis by the utility district’s president/chief executive offi cer and who has responsibility and oversight for the utility district’s employ-ees and operations.

business owners who are successful or just those trying to start up, it takes a certain amount of guts to try that. It’s inspiring.

Why did you choose this career?It was an opportunity that came along, and I jumped on

board. My father had retired, and through his traveling back and forth from the U.S. and Italy, he came across food that wasn’t available in the U.S. He asked me to be a partner in this business, along with a third partner in Italy. I didn’t set out to be in the food industry, but it just kind of happened.

What is the best part of your day?Spending time with my beautiful wife and daughter ... duh!

By Alvin NanceAt KCDC’s August

board meeting, we said goodbye to an extraor-dinary woman who has meant a great

deal to us, Juanita Can-non. She served on the KCDC board of commis-sioners for 18 years, and I am thankful for her dedication to KCDC.

At the meeting, Can-non was honored with a proclamation from Mayor Madeline Rogero declaring Aug. 27 Juanita Cannon Day in Knoxville. Fellow board members including our chair, Cul-ver Schmid, also thanked her for a long, productive service.

Cannon was appoint-ed to the board by Mayor Victor Ashe. He had been looking for someone fa-miliar with public hous-ing, and she fi t the bill, as she lived her younger years in KCDC’s Austin Homes. She character-izes the community as close-knit family and remains in contact with many former Austin Homes neighborhood kids who grew up to be community leaders.

KCDC had many signifi cant achievements while she served on our board. She lists the large-scale Mechanics-ville public housing and

neighborhood revitaliza-tion project and oversee-ing the bidding process for the revitalization of downtown Knoxville and Gay Street as two of her proudest achievements on the board.

A retired school teacher with more than 40 years of experience in Knox County Schools, Cannon takes great pride in her accom-plished former students. She enjoyed pointing them out when they came before the board for awards or commu-nity presentations.

Cannon said she would miss the fellow-ship on the board, as well as the pas-sion each board member

has for providing qual-ity affordable housing to the city of Knoxville and Knox County. She always enjoyed meet-ing board members who went on to become influential members of the community, like Gov. Bill Haslam, Laurens Tullock and so many more.

We are a very close board, and Juanita Cannon will be sorely missed. I am honored to have had the opportunity to cross her path and am grateful for her many years of service to KCDC.

NEWS FROM TEMPLE BAPTIST ACADEMY

By Taryn Jones

Tuesday marked the 11-year anniversary of the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.

Students at Temple Baptist Academy took time to remem-ber the attacks and those who have given their lives fighting the war on terrorism.

Temple Elementary stu-dents gathered around the school’s f lagpole where the f lag was f lying at half-staff. Sixth grader Ben Jones led the group in the Pledge of Al-legiance, after which teach-ers and students sang “God Bless America.” The ceremo-

ny concluded with a prayer asking God for his blessing on our country, our political and military leaders, and the troops defending our nation.

For many of us, we remem-ber where we were and what we were doing 11 years ago. For students, 9/11 is something they are learning about in books. Most students were either very young or not even born when the attacks of 9/11 happened.

Teachers and administra-tors spoke to students recount-ing where they were and what they experienced on that his-toric day. On this anniversary, teachers wanted to spend time

talking to students, answer-ing questions, and telling them about the signifi cance of 9/11 and the resulting impact it has had on our nation to this day.

Principal David Whitaker noted, “I want our students to be challenged to step forward as Christian citizens to make a difference in our country for good and for God. September 11 is a reminder to all of us that no one is guaranteed an-other day. Life is a gift from God and we are stewards of the life he has given us. We must seize every day as an op-portunity with which to serve our God and our country.”

Crusaders volleyball

making stridesBy Michael Scoggins

The Temple High School Crusader

volleyball team began training camp with high expectations. Play-ers and coaches alike shared goals of making a statement this season.

Temple got off to a sol-id start by going 4-2 and taking second place in the season-opening Lady Crusader Volleyball Invi-tational hosted by Crown College. Senior Brittany James, along with ju-niors Keegan McElyea and Abigail Houston, received all-tournament honors. Since the tourna-ment, Temple has gone 4-1 in regular season play including two wins versus TSSAA opponent King’s Academy.

With an emphasis on fundamentals, on-court communication and teamwork, Temple head coach Jared Berry and assistant coach Jessica Motes have positioned Temple as a team to beat this year in the TAACS (Tennessee Athletic As-sociation of Christian Schools).

When asked about the season so far Berry said, “One of our points of

emphasis is playing as one team and eliminat-ing errors. We’ve been our own worst enemies at times and it has cost us points. If we can play together as a unit and reduce the number of unforced errors, then we will come out on top more often than not.”

The Temple Junior High Crusader volley-

ball team is also off to a great start. The junior high team competes in the Knoxville Indepen-dent Sports League. At 7-2, Temple is making a strong push through the schedule with crucial wins versus CAK, Knox-ville Christian, Berean Academy and Maryville Christian, among others.

Coach Taryn Jones

says she has been pleased with how her team has performed, noting how they have shown a lot of effort and persistence.

“One of our goals for this season was for these girls to grow together as a team. They have really worked hard on serving the ball well which has become one of the keys to our success.”

NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

After battling colorectal cancer, Dave Foulk has returned to the airwaves on WOKI Newstalk 98.7.

He was recently named the Tennessee Associated Press Radio Broadcaster of the Year and re-

ceived accolades for Best Radio Newscast and Best Radio News story.

“If I’d waited a few months until I started showing symptoms like cramping or pain, there would have been nothing he could have done to save my life.” – David Foulk

With his smooth and familiar voice, East Tennessee radio personality Dave Foulk of NewsTalk 98.7 is eager to tell everyone about the importance of getting a colonoscopy, the gold standard test for colon cancer.

“The colonoscopy’s nothing,” said Foulk in between news and traffic re-ports. On the Knoxville airways since 1992, Foulk is back at his microphone af-ter being diagnosed and treated for stage two colon cancer in April at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center.

“Colon cancer surgery is a big deal. A colonoscopy is not a big deal,” stresses Foulk.

A colonoscopy is a test that uses a small camera inserted into the colon, while the patient is under anesthesia. It can detect cancers, as well as allow the physician to remove small pre-cancerous growths during the procedure.

Foulk’s story began in late March, when he felt very tired.

“I just had no energy,” he remembers. “I was tired and chilling. I just thought I was worn out. I thought I’d just rest up on vacation. But my wife made an ap-pointment with my doctor and I got an-gry at her. I told her: ‘All I want is a nap, and you’re making me go to the doctor.’ ”

Foulk went anyway, and the doctor found that he had a low red blood cell count and suspected internal bleeding. “He said, ‘You’re leaking somewhere. When was the last time you had a colo-noscopy?’ ” says Foulk.

“I had no family history of colon can-cer,” says Foulk. He had had a routine colonoscopy at age 50, the recommended age. But since he is now 60, he was due for another. His physician scheduled one with gastroenterologist Dr. Jeffrey Brown at Fort Sanders Regional.

During the test, Dr. Brown found and

Did you know?

Prostate cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer among American men. With slightly more than 200,000 new cases each year, it accounts for one third of all new cancer diagnosed in men.

Although this type of cancer isn’t normally life threatening, it can cause dif-fi culty in urination and sexual function. But prostate cancer may not cause symptoms in its early stages, so it’s impor-tant to have regular physical exams and talk to your doctor about screenings for the disease.

prostate cancer, including

risk factors and upcoming

screenings, visit

Colonoscopies can save livesColorectal cancer is

expected to kill more than 51,000 Americans in 2012, making it the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States, ac-cording to the American Cancer Society.

One in 20 people will be diagnosed with colorectal cancer; but fortunately, more and more are surviving be-cause of early detection. There are more than 1 million sur-vivors of colorectal cancer in the United States.

“Most of us know someone who’s been touched by this dis-ease,” says Dr. Mark Jackson, a gastroenterologist at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center. “But it can be managed, treated and cured if found early.”

The best tool for detecting colorectal cancer early is a test called a colonoscopy, a simple, in-hospital test that allows a doctor to

removed several small growths called polyps, which can be precancerous. He also found a mass the size of an orange,

nodes, his prognosis is good, and he doesnot need chemotherapy.

“I have to do a follow-up colonoscopy next year and see the doctor every four months for blood tests,” Foulk explains.Although he followed standard guide-lines for a colonoscopy at 50 and every 10years after that, Foulk said he wishes hehad had one earlier.

“Look at me, the poster child. I startedout at 50, then at 60 I was due for anoth-er, and this thing had grown to the size of an orange. I think my experience could have been maybe mitigated had we done colon screenings a little more often,” he says.

But, he’s thankful it was caught when it was. “Dr. Midis said if I’d waited a few months until I started showing symp-toms like cramping or pain, there wouldhave been nothing he could have done tosave my life.”

Dr. Midis confirms that the colonosco-py saved Foulk’s life. He stays it’s impor-tant for people to be screened starting at 50 or earlier if they have a family history of the disease.

“Don’t look for a way to weasel out of it,” says Dr. Midis. “Here’s a guy who got screened, and we got it at an earlier stage than we would have if he’d waited.

“His cancer was detected without symptoms. The common thing is people say, ‘I feel great and that means I can’t have a cancer.’ And that’s the fallacy.”

Foulk agrees and urges people not to shy away from this life-saving screening. “Nobody wants to have a colonoscopy, but I’m telling you far and away, it’s moredesirable than having a bad outcome. I wish that I’d had checks more frequent-ly,” states Foulk.

which he suspected was cancer. “After the procedure I asked, ‘Is it

cancer?’ ” Foulk remembers. “Dr. Brown was very nice. He said ‘I don’t know, but probably.’ ”

The laboratory confirmed it was. This was a second cancer diagnosis for Foulk, who battled bladder cancer in 1996. “I’ve already gone through the spookiness and weird feeling you get when you find out you had cancer,” says Foulk. “But I wasn’t ready for this.”

Foulk underwent colorectal surgery at Fort Sanders Regional, performed by Dr. Gregory Midis, a colorectal and oncologic surgeon. Dr. Midis removed the tumor and part of Foulk’s small intestine. Be-cause it had not spread to nearby lymph

look inside a patient’s colon.The procedure is quick and sim-

ple. While the patient is under an-esthesia, a thin, fl exible tube is in-serted into the rectum and colon, to give the doctor a view inside.

Doctors recommend that most healthy people have their fi rst colo-noscopy at age 50 and every 10 years after that if the test is negative for polyps, which are small growths. While many polyps are harmless, they sometimes can be precancer-ous.

If a person has infl am-matory bowel disease, ulcer-ative colitis, breast cancer or a close family history of co-lon cancer, he or she should have a colonoscopy at a younger age and more fre-quently, says Dr. Jackson.

“That’s an important clue,” explains Dr. Jack-son. “Sometimes if a family member in their 30s has colon cancer, we’ll screen the other family mem-bers when they’re 10 years

younger.”The most important thing is

to get screened. “The thing I’velearned over the past 25 years isthe importance of getting people past the fear and embarrassment of having to go through it,” says Dr. Jackson.

Dr. Jackson has diagnosed pa-tients with colon cancer who had never been screened. “The morepeople we can get screened, the better it’s going to be. I hate when folks miss the opportunity to pre-vent this terrible disease.”

A dayat the fair

The cooler temperatures, the smell of fall in the air, the sounds of football and the fair. Just a few things that occur in Knox County each September.

I have covered the fair for the Shopper for several years and usually attend on the day that they honor senior adults and special friends. Honestly, I like to dart in, snap a few photos and head back to the offi ce.

This year, I decided to walk around the fair-grounds and I saw the popu-lar event with a new pair of eyes.

The fi rst stop of the day was at the booth featuring candy apples made by the members at Fairview Unit-ed Methodist Church. Mem-bers have been creating this treat for 60 years, and vis-iting with Roy Hodge was worth the trip.

Hodge was all smiles as he sold apples for just $1 each. “It’s not about making money,” he said, “it’s about fellowship with friends, meeting people and giv-ing to others.” The money raised is used for mission work through the church. “There is always a need greater than us.”

Once my apple was pur-chased, named Best Apple at the fair for the year 2012, I headed into the Jacob Building to see the displays and chat with vendors.

Inside displays from area schools feature work from students who are skilled in cosmetology, auto mechan-ics and more.

The photography contest features beautiful pictures taken by individuals of a wide age range and creative eye. Some of my favorite dis-plays were the cake decorat-ing contest, the jellies and jams and the homemade bread entries. The gingham ribbons for the culinary arts entries brought visions of a small town county fair and sweet memories of long ago.

The next stop was the Kerr Building to view home items, including quilts, scrapbooks, fl owers and more. First was Nancy Lar-son, creating hats for new-borns. Larson was dressed in a long dress and kicked her feet up and relaxed while creating.

Hanging high above the fl oor was a quilt with a fi rst place ribbon. That prize winner was made by North Knox resident Lee Hoskins. In the background were dozens of women making fabric squares and forming a quilt that was sure to be-come a treasured heirloom.

Behind the Jacob Building was the rabbit and poultry building. This isn’t a place I would usually visit (thanks to my allergies) but the beauty of the old white barn drew me to investigate more close-ly. The three-story barn, with its peeling paint, was a sight with the beautiful blue sky in the background. One worker said that the barn was built using the wood from one of the old roller coasters from the early 1900s. Whether there is truth to the tale or not, it made a great story for such a grand structure.

The last stop was at the tractor exhibit up on the hill under the big shade trees. The tractors take me back to my young-er days growing up in Oklahoma, and I love chat-ting with the people relax-ing by their tractors. Some sit and chat with one another while others host demonstra-tions or whittle the day away.

As I headed back down the midway on my way out, I heard the clacking of one of the rides in the distance. I turned and saw four wom-en laughing and enjoying the day as they went round and round on a smaller coaster. It was evident that they were having the time of their lives and I, for one, will forever see the fair in a new, brighter light.

Low-impact exercise for any age

Wellness

By Theresa Edwards

Belly dancing offers a beautiful way to celebrate your life – no matter your lifestyle, body type or age.

Since it is low-impact exercise and easy on the joints, even seniors enjoy the sim-ple, natural, rhythmic movements.

Belly dance instructor Alexia explains how the movements exercise the core muscles, isolating precise muscle groups. “It really improves your posture when you learn this art form,” Alexia said. “We also do a lot of arm and shoulder move-ments, which do not get exercised often. We also move our torso and hips. It is great for fun and fitness.”

“The dancing increases women’s self-confidence. It helps as they gain self-awareness,” Alexia says. “It is also a wonderful stress-reliever, where you can forget about any worries of the day and just enjoy yourself.”

After students learn the basic move-ments, Alexia steps it up for aerobic danc-

Dancers.

ing. Her classes range from beginning to advanced. Costumes add to the fun, but beginners are welcome to borrow Alexia’s hip scarves during classes. Class informa-tion is online at www.alexia-dance.com.

Another professional belly dance in-structor is Debka who leads the Oasis Dancers in Knoxville. “The very smooth movements keep the spine very supple,

help with posture and tone you up – your arms, back, legs, hips – but without impact,” she said.

Shim-m y i n g is a s p e -c i f i c m o v e m e n t of belly danc-ing which is aerobic in nature, but also has certain other health benefits from the vibrations. “The vibra-tions wake up the osteoblasts which help build up bones,” Debka said. This functions similarly to certain move-ments she teaches in her Feldenkrais class “Bones for Life.”

Contact information and DVDs on belly danc-ing and the Feldenkrais method are on Debka’s website at www.wellmats.net.

Especially for seniors, belly dance classes are also available at the Strang Senior Cen-ter at 109 Lovell Heights Road at 2:30 p.m. Mondays.

By Theresa Edwards“It’s the agony and the joy

of the fi nish line,” said Felon Wilson who helped with the race. “That is the expression you see on their faces as they fi nish.”

Jeremy Sexton came in fi rst, looking at his watch to see his time. His joy of tri-umph was immediate, fol-lowed by the agony, drenched in sweat, as he took time to recover and catch his breath enough to talk.

Dr. Robert Lembersky of Children’s Anesthesia had a team of 12 running. “It’s just great being out here with your colleagues,” he said. He felt good with a time of 23:39, better than his personal best 10 years ago of 24:09. “I beat myself by a decade and a few seconds, so I’m really happy about it,” he said.

Susan Lembersky di-rected this 18th West Hills run. “The last few years, we added the one-mile walk to get more people in the com-munity out, exercising in our park. We like to see every-body getting out and joining us for a good time,” she said.

“The proceeds go to im-provements in the park, whatever is needed,” she said.

The Myers family runs the race together, fi nishing at 33:32.

Shown are mom Debbie, Joshua, Jocelyn and Jessica. “My hus-

band, Dan, is behind us,” Debbie said. “We took turns pushing

the stroller.” They run as part of the Children’s Anesthesia team.

Training helped Hammill through

tough timesBy Betty Bean

Four mornings a week, she’s out of bed by 4:20 a.m. and reporting to work at 4:45. Her clients include young-ish former athletes, busy profes-sionals, ambitious grandpar-ents, each of whom has an exercise and nutrition plan tailored to his/her needs and interests.

“Some people want to lose weight, some want a faster time in a particular race, some just want to jog,” said Op-eration Boot Camp instructor Lindsay Hammill. “Campers can be anybody who’s capable of setting goals. If they can set a goal, we can work with them. We’ve worked with former NFL athletes, people

hundreds of pound over-weight, in the same class. That’s how individualized we can make the program.”

By 7, Hammill’s get-ting ready for her day job at MK Technologies Inc., where she is director of

business development. A Bearden High School

multi-sport athlete who played softball in China as a member of an Athletes in Action traveling team while attending Marshall University, she married and

started building a career, fi rst in Washington D.C. and then in Knoxville when she and her husband moved back home. That was when she got acquainted with a fi tness and nutrition program called Op-eration Boot Camp after she met franchise owner Kellie Vogel at a Young Profession-als meet-and-greet.

“I heard what she was say-ing, and thought, ‘I want to do that!’ That was August 2007, and I got in there and haven’t left since. When I started out as a boot camper, I couldn’t run a mile. Little by little, I kept working hard, became an instructor and started getting into racing. I’ve now done nine half-marathons, one Olympic distance triathlon and four or fi ve sprint marathons.”

Her father died in March 2011 and her marriage ended in April, around the time she decided to start training for triathlons. She’d mastered running and general fi tness, but needed to work on swim-ming and biking.

“I put a status on Face-

book, ‘Does anybody have a road bike I can borrow? I want to get into triathlons.’ People were asking, ‘Do you swim?’ ‘Nope.’ I borrowed a bike and hired a swimming coach (Eric Bell), who prob-ably wondered what he was getting into when he asked me, ‘Lindsay, what side do you breathe on? ‘ I said ‘I don’t know.’ He said, ‘Man, I’m not charging you enough!’

“Triathlon training paral-leled my personal life,” she said. “I had to concentrate on one stroke at a time, just like I had to take each day minute by minute. It was the hardest year of my life, and training was the hardest physical thing I’d ever done, but it helped me be tougher mentally and spir-itually. I had a great team of people to train with, including Kellie and my boss Michael Carroll, who wouldn’t let me not get up and not train. The fi rst step for me was the sim-ple act of getting out of bed and knowing there were peo-ple depending on me. I didn’t want to let them down. It kept

me going – sometimes. Some-times it didn’t, but they were always there.”Operation Bootcamp meets at Lakeshore

Annual physicals may not be at the top of every man’s to-do list, but these visits are crucial for longevity -- espe-cially for those men over 40.

There’s no better time than your check-up to have all your looming health questions answered. Make the most of your next visit by composing a checklist of things you’d like to talk about during your appointment.

No matter how healthy you feel, there are some dis-cussion points you’ll defi nite-ly want to cover:

Prostate Cancer Screening

Prostate cancer is the

most common non-skin cancer in America, affect-ing one in six men, accord-ing to the Prostate Cancer Foundation. If you’re a man over 40, there are sev-eral major risk factors that you need to know about. If you are African-American, or have a family history of prostate cancer, talk to your doctor about your prostate health, beginning at age 40.

The older you are, the more likely you are to be di-agnosed with this potentially life-threatening illness, but that doesn’t mean younger men are not also diagnosed. In fact, one in every 38 men

aged 40 to 59 is diagnosed with prostate cancer. Talk to your doctor about when you should begin screenings and how you can lower your risk of diagnosis.

Be proactive! Visit the Prostate Cancer Foundation website at www.PCF.org for more information on risk factors, and to access a list of prevention tips.

Your Heart’s HealthAccording to the Centers

for Disease Control and Pre-vention, heart disease causes more than one in four deaths of men in the United States.

To get an accurate gauge of your risk, be honest with

your doctor. He or she can’t advise you properly if you don’t share all the facts on your habits -- good and bad.

Have your blood pressure and cholesterol tested at rec-ommended intervals. Ask your doctor if your levels are normal and what you can do if they aren’t. If you don’t cur-rently get regular physical ac-tivity, your doctor can advise you on safely easing into an exercise program.

Diabetes RiskMany people have the

misconception that if something is wrong; their bodies will let them know. But diabetes often begins

What Every Man Over 40 Should Ask His Doctor

without symptoms. Your risk factor for develop-ing diabetes goes up if you are overweight, have high blood pressure, or a family history of the disease. Ask your doctor if you need to be screened.

In the meantime, low-er your risk for diabetes by maintaining a healthy weight. Your doctor is a great resource for help-

ing you form an effective weight management plan.

It’s vital for men to man-age their risks for life-threat-ening diseases like prostate cancer, and one of the best ways to do that is with regu-lar visits to the doctor. If it’s been over a year since your last appointment, call today to schedule a visit.

Taking time for fitness this fallWith the lazy days of

summer behind us, many people look to the fall season as the perfect time to get in shape and back into the right wellness regimen.

Few people know the ben-efi ts of capitalizing on the autumn season as a fresh start better than Beverly Hills-based personal trainer Gunnar Peterson. For more than 20 years, Peterson has helped clients ranging from celebrities, professional ath-letes and everyday people to push boundaries to improve their health.

There is no better time than now to get started, ex-plains Peterson. All it takes is a simple commitment to better living.

Check out these simple steps for getting the most out

of your workout:Fuel up:

Nutrition is an important part of any work-out. In order to have ample en-ergy, consume a small meal, such as two daily servings of fruits or vegeta-bles, at least 90 minutes before you train. Also make sure to eat a high-protein snack within 30 minutes follow-ing your exercise to refuel and rebuild.

Take time to recover: Reward yourself after an intense fi tness session by getting a massage once ev- –ARA

ery two weeks. Not only will you feel great, but it will reduce lactic acid build up and increase blood fl ow. To save on costs, ask a friend or partner. Your mind and

body will thank you.Stay fresh: Crunched

for time? If you don’t have time to hit the showers right after a workout, there are some easy ways to

freshen up for your trek home or next stop. Keep a small bag of travel-sized toiletries in your gym bag with es-sentials like a toothbrush, an extra stick of deodorant and one of Pe-terson’s post-fi tness must-haves - a travel pack of fl ush-able wipes - to help feel clean

and refreshed after a sweat session.

Equip yourself: If you are starting a new program, sometimes a new pair of shoes or a new playlist can

provide the right motiva-tion. Your old gear might be worn out and not up to the task. Proper training equip-ment can make or break your workout routine; it’s not just about fashion.

Mix it up: Switching up your fi tness routine is a great way to maximize your work-out and stay motivated. For example, combine resistance training with cardio and mix up the order week by week. Start by doing resistance training before your cardio for one week, then switch it up, doing cardio fi rst fol-lowed by resistance training. Follow this pattern week by week for at least four weeks and your body will respond to the change-up.
