Texas Valley breaks ground on new churchBy Jake Mabe

They called it a historic day last Sunday (May 29) at Texas Valley Baptist Church, and so it was.

After a special service, mem-bers broke ground on a new church building, which will be approxi-mately 6,000 square feet and sit on the site of the former building, which burned nine months ago. Merit Construction is the contrac-tor. It is scheduled to be fi nished within one year.

But that’s all the boilerplate stuff.

Guest minister the Rev. Jerry Copeland read from Acts about An-tioch. Allen Berry led the singing.

Memories materialized – of B.F. Dalton, of Lynn “Chief” Brock, of Curtis Tindell, all gone home now. Shirley Etherton attended. See-ing her brought memories of her husband, Charles “Tud” Etherton, who’s also gone now.

Bill Brock, the longest tenured member of the church, said that when he looked at the ruins last year, he thought about his dad,

Fountain CityMan and Woman of the Year

By Sandra ClarkMark Enix and Kathy Cloninger

were named Fountain City’s Man and Woman of the Year at the an-nual Honor Fountain City Day in the Park on Monday. The event is each Memorial Day.

Mark Enix owns Fountain City Jewelers Inc. He is known for his generous support of many com-munity projects and his active in-volvement with the Fountain City Business and Professional Asso-ciation, where he served as presi-dent and remains on the board of directors.

Enix attended school in Clai-borne County and graduated from Halls High School in 1986, after his family moved to Knox County. His dad, Marvin Enix, owned and operated Enix Jewelers in Halls, which is now owned by Mark’s brother, Bill.

Mark Enix graduated from Par-is Junior College in Texas, major-ing in jewelry technology. He is a member of the Independent Jew-elers organization which offers trade shows, educational seminars in such topics as gemology, and promotes consumer protection.

Enix’s major claim to fame, though, is his leadership in the an-nual Easter Egg Hunt in Fountain City Park. If you’ve not seen him there, it’s because he’s disguised as the Easter bunny.

The awards committee wrote, “His involvement and support have been continuous over the years, and he makes Fountain City a better place for all of us.”

Kathy Cloninger has deep roots

in Fountain City. Her grandfather, Dan Orndorff, built their home at 2823 Gibbs Drive in 1913, and a family member has lived there ever since.

Kathy’s parents, Joe and Blanche Orndorff, raised their children there. With husband Kenny and sons Michael and Pat-rick, Kathy has worked to preserve and improve the house, making it a gracious home for family and

friends to enjoy.Cloninger has been a leader in

recent efforts by the Gibbs Drive Neighborhood Association to pre-serve the beauty of Gibbs Drive, which remains a highlight of the Fountain City Dogwood Trail each spring. She has volunteered at Fountain City ballpark, Fountain City Elementary and Gresham Middle schools and Dogwood Arts.

She works full-time as a content specialist for Healthcare Source - Net Learning.

The awards committee wrote: “Kathy is the epitome of a good neighbor in a time when neigh-bors hardly know each other. … She and Kenny may retire in the months ahead, but they will never retire from their love and support for Fountain City.”

about the people who worked so hard to build the other church back in the early 1970s.

Fire is a part of the church’s history, Leann Dalton Berry said. Founded in 1873, the church building burned in January 1905.

“But we’ve always rebuilt,” she said.

And so they are again. Rebuild-ing. Rejoicing. And holding on, as the Psalm says, to that precious seed.

By Carol Z. ShaneIt’s early evening and the

weather is nice. Outside the Tennova Health & Fitness Cen-ter in Powell, a group of run-ners gather around coach Muna Rodriguez-Taylor, ready for their orders. “You’re running the 10K? All right, do eight 400s and a mile.” Turning to another, Rodriguez-Taylor directs her to “do four 400s, two 800s and a mile.” She encourages a par-ticipant in her walking plan, re-marking, “she’s recovering from knee surgery.”

It’s this kind of personal, indi-vidualized attention that makes Tennova’s Train to Run program such a success.

Take Jean Miller, who has run for fi ve years following a diagno-sis of rheumatoid arthritis and a suggestion from her doctor to “keep moving.” The reasons she participates in Train to Run are many: “proper technique, some-body making me do it, the cama-raderie is great.”

Once bedridden for two months, Miller is now a half marathoner. She credits “our fabulous coach.”

Rodriguez-Taylor says with a smile that they also call her “the mean coach,” but it’s all in fun. “I get accountability,” says Miller. “I can’t cheat while I’m here.”

Bernice Conner agrees. “I wasn’t going to do anything if I didn’t have some accountability. I’m a couch potato!”

Nicole Yarbrough, Tennova’s fi tness manager, had wanted a running program “for a long time,” says Rodriguez-Taylor, a former accountant who now works solely in the fi tness fi eld.

After being told to “take this and run with it,” she developed her own training program based

upon principles she’s learned from 16 years of teaching fi tness. Having earned a personal train-ing certifi cate in 2008, her en-thusiasm for exercise is obvious, and she enjoys helping anyone who wants to discover the men-tal and physical benefi ts of run-ning. “We start with small steps, small goals,” she says. Within her current group, which includes a fi rst-timer, she has a wide vari-ety of athletes from walkers all the way up to marathoners and everything in between.

The monthly Train to Run program is open to anyone – be-ginner to advanced – interested in running. During each four-week session, participants learn to conquer initial discomfort and meet reasonable expectations, improving their speed, tech-nique and distance. Much at-tention is given to prevention of

injuries. Athletes gain confi dence and friend-ships as well as health benefi ts: lowered risk

of early death due to diabetes, some cancers and cardiovascu-lar disease. Mental health is also boosted by the release of endor-phins.

“Being part of a group is huge,” says Danielle Quintanar,

Tennova’s group fi tness coordi-nator. Rodriguez-Taylor agrees. “This is probably one of the most fantastic things I’ve ever taken part in. They are friends and not just clients. It’s awesome!”

Right now Tennova Health

& Fitness Center is offering a special on their Train to Run program: members pay $68 for four one-hour group sessions, and non-members pay $88. Give them a call to get started: 865-859-7900.

The Lions Club of Inskip is proud to announce that member John Longmire has been recognized by Lions Clubs International Founda-tion as a Melvin Jones Fellow.

John Longmire with Melvin

Jones plaque

John Longmire is super Lion

The presentation was made at an April meeting of Inskip Lions. A retired TVA architect, Longmire has been a Lion since 2004 and is a faithful and active member of the club. Every-one who knows him will agree that John would do anything he could to help anybody he is aware of needing help.

John’s wife, Mary Lou, is also a member of Inskip Lions. The club was de-lighted that some of John’s

family could attend the pre-sentation and dinner in his honor – daughter, Lou Ann Clabough and grandson, Philip Clabough; son and daughter-in-law, John and Patty Longmire; and sister-in-law Suzanne Matheny. Granddaughter, Suzanna Clabough, is away at college and could not attend.

Lions Clubs Interna-tional was founded in 1917 by Melvin Jones, a 38-year old Chicago business leader. He told members of his local business club they should reach beyond business is-sues and address the better-ment of their communities and the world. Jones’ group, the Business Circle of Chi-cago, agreed. After contact-ing similar groups around the United States, an orga-nizational meeting was held on June 7, 1917, in Chicago.

The new group took the name of one of the invited groups, the “Association of

Lions Clubs,” and a national convention was held in Dal-las in October of that year. A constitution, by-laws, ob-jectives and a code of ethics were approved. The rest is history.

As Lions approach their 100th anniversary in 2017, it’s a moment to look back on the long and proud tra-dition of service and the numerous achievements of our association and Lions around the world. Lions Clubs became international in 1920 by chartering a club in Windsor, Canada. In 1925 during the international convention in Cedar Point, Ohio, Helen Keller charged Lions to become “knights of the blind in the crusade against darkness.”

On April 6, 1949, a group of 39 civic-minded men from the Inskip community formed the Lions Club of Inskip. The club was spon-sored by neighboring Foun-

tain City Lions Club. From the very beginning, these men had the well-being of the community at heart.

In 1953, a major project of the club was to build a building next to the school to house a library to be used by the school and the commu-nity. This building was later used as the Inskip branch of Lawson McGhee Library. This building was in con-tinuous use until the branch was closed by the county.

The building was then given to the Inskip Lions Club and is now rented in the community as a ser-vice and as a fundraiser for the club. In 1958, the Club undertook the huge task of building a community swimming pool. The pool was offi cially opened on July 17, 1959, and was in opera-tion until sold to the city of Knoxville in July 1975. Dur-ing these years, the money realized from the operation

of the pool was used in thecommunity mostly to helppeople with vision problemsin paying for exams andglasses. Other needs werealso met as presented.

A member of the InskipLions Club would normallyspend 20 or more hourseach year working on com-munity service projects andperforming administrativeduties for the club. Sincethe club is an organizationof volunteers, the level of ef-fort and participation willvary widely due to the in-terests, work schedules andpersonal time demands ofthe members.

In May, the Inskip Lionsrecognized fi ve fi fth grad-ers at Inskip ElementarySchool for their leadershipskills and academic achieve-ments. The community sup-ports this event and atten-dance is extraordinary for asmall community.

Beware of coffee shop de-bates about Tennessee foot-ball. Bruises and even lac-erations are possible. Egos can be damaged. Feelings may be hurt beyond repair.

I innocently walked into one the other day and was immediately challenged to settle the disturbance.

“Speak up,” said one com-batant. “You know it all.”

“You’ve been around for-ever,” said another.

In commemoration of this year’s empty NFL draft, at issue was which former Volunteer, born in the state of Tennessee, played the most pro football games?

Under consideration were Doug Atkins, Bill Bates and Reggie White.

Right here, out of courte-sy, we pause for two seconds

Old Vols in the NFL

so you can vote.Pause over.Atkins, defensive end

from Humboldt, played in 205 pro games (mostly Chi-cago). He struck fear into the hearts of quarterbacks and sometimes alarmed rival linemen assigned to block him. He is one of the really big names in the col-lege and pro halls of fame.

Bates, defensive back from Farragut, played in 217 games, all with the Cow-

boys, and fi nished as one of the all-time stars of special teams. He has coached and also distinguished himself as a father of athletes.

White, a rare gladiator who included foes in his prayers and then dented their helmets, made the trip from Chattanooga to UT to Philadelphia to Green Bay and fi nally to Carolina. He played in 232 NFL games over 15 seasons.

Before anyone could ask, I told them Reggie inter-cepted three passes, scored two touchdowns and had 198 career sacks. That made an impression.

“You are pretty smart,” said one listener.

“There are reference li-braries,” said I.

The coffee caucus, three

cups in, seemed surprised to learn that homegrown Raleigh McKenzie from Austin-East played cen-ter and guard in 226 pro games, much for Washing-ton but two years each for Philadelphia, San Diego and Green Bay.

One budding genius sud-denly remembered that Raleigh works for his twin brother Reggie as a scout for the Oakland Raiders. Reg-gie is general manager and also a very famous father. His son, Kahlil McKenzie, defensive tackle, 6-4 and 319, is a Tennessee star-to-be.

Reggie is very smart but did not play nearly as many NFL games as Raleigh.

The discussion got side-tracked onto how Kahlil and

the current Volunteers will do and how good an idea was moving the opener to a Thursday night and would I attend the Battle of Bristol.

It took time to return to the subject, Tennessee-born Vols who survived the rigors of pro football for extended periods. If you are guessing, offensive linemen do have a better chance for longevity than backs, receivers and linebackers.

Judge Tim Irwin, former Central High tackle, played in 201 games, almost all with the Minnesota Vikings. Chad Clifton, from Martin, played in 158 for the Pack-ers. He is new to their hall of fame.

Mike Stratton of Tellico Plains played 156 for Buf-falo. Bruce Wilkerson, from Loudon, played in 147, mostly for the Raiders. Har-ry Galbreath, from Clarks-ville, made it through 141

with Miami, Green Bay and the New York Jets.

Nashville tackle John Gordy, teammate of John Majors, did 134 games for the Detroit Lions. Defen-sive tackle John Hender-son (Nashville) had 133. Cleveland’s Bob Johnson was Cincinnati’s center for 126 games. Linebacker Al Wilson (Jackson) lasted for 125. Linebacker Mike Cofer (Rule High, Knoxville) played 123.

Don’t set this list in stone. Jason Witten (Elizabethton to UT to Dallas) is gaining on 200 games. He holds the NFL mark for consecu-tive starts by a tight end and is third all-time to reach 10,000 yards in receptions.

One or more of the Colquitts (Knoxville) may kick forever.Marvin West invites additions and cor-

rections from other know-it-alls. His ad-

low Carl McDaniel

McDaniel was a Lion for all seasonsI can’t remember when I

didn’t know Carl McDaniel. He was just always around,

h e l p i n g folks with vision prob-lems or spearhead-ing some new fund-r a i s i n g scheme for the Halls Lions Club.

When he died on May 24 at age 80, the community lost a fi ne leader.

I connect Carl with George Davey; both were Lions and both lived on Co-chise Drive up by Beaver Brook Country Club.

George was from the north, I think, and was a more aggressive fund-rais-er. When George died, Carl led a delegation of Lions into the Fountain City Unit-ed Methodist Church. They were awesome in their Lion

regalia and we appreciated their show of respect.

Carl worked for KUB as a power operations super-visor for 33 years. As an adult, he earned a bach-elor’s degree (1989) and a master’s degree (1993) from UT. He then took a job with the state Emergency Man-agement Agency where he worked for eight years.

Carl was a charter mem-ber of Halls Community Li-ons Club for over 50 years. He was also the District Governor of the Lions Club International District 12-N Tennessee from 1998-1999.

I wrote a story when he got his master’s and another

when he and wife Jennie at-tended an international Li-ons convention in England or Scotland. Memory fails.

With all this involvement, it’s easy to see how Carl must have known half the town.

He grew up in Union County, graduating from Hor-ace Maynard High School in 1953. His parents were Silas and Lucille McDaniel.

Survivors include his wife of 49 years, Jennie Haney McDaniel; son and daughter Jim McDaniel and Kelly McDaniel; brothers, David and Eddie McDaniel; sisters, Judy McDaniel Paul and Wanda McDaniel Jack-son; special brother, Donnie Boles; and a host of friends.

Services were Friday at Sharon Baptist Church and the interment was Saturday morning at Sharon Baptist’s cemetery.

Arrangements were by Mynatt Funeral Home of Fountain City.

Traffi c calming, anyone?The city is doing wonder-

ful things to enhance Knox-ville, but the chart above is not among them.

Written by planner Don Parnell, the chart is an ap-pendix to the city’s Neigh-borhood Safety Program.

Want to get speed bumps on your street? Well, jump right in.

Looks like you start at the arrow on the left top – apply for a traffi c safe-ty study. Then meet with neighbors and staff to deter-mine whether further study is indicated. A half dozen additional meetings ensue.

If the city decides to go forward, consultants are hired and projects ranked.

Surveys and education are woven into the model. Speeders do not participate in such complex processes. Perhaps no one does.

This schematic is a plan-ner’s dream. Check back next year to see how many traffi c calming projects are completed.

Very little blowback and lots of attaboys – that’s what Mayor Tim Burchett says he’s gotten for his re-cent criticism of the Haslam administration’s refusal to kick in money for a facil-ity to stabilize mentally ill and substance-addicted in-mates. He made the rounds of the Sunday talk shows last month denouncing the state for reneging on a com-mitment to help fund a be-havioral health urgent care unit (formerly known as the safety center).

Burchett says he’s con-fi dent that the project will move forward, one way or another.

“No hard feelings. It’s just politics. We’re going to move ahead. I understand the state didn’t want to fund any local projects, but we know it’s the right thing to do. In the end, I think ev-erybody’s going to be at the table. Our local legislative delegation’s been very sup-portive, and they under-stand (the issue) better than most. Every day I receive correspondence from one of them, and it’s a piece of the moving parts we’re dealing with.”

Elizabeth “Liz” Savelli is completing 23 years run-ning a popular neighbor-hood restaurant, Savelli’s, in West Knoxville. She opened up on March 1, 1993, and has been at 3055 Sutherland Avenue ever since.

When interviewed, she said her most fa-mous guest was Willard Scott, whom HGTV introduced to Savelli’s. But other well-known patrons

have included Tommy Las-orda, former manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers, and Tim Love, UT graduate and chef. Former UT football coach Phillip Fulmer and South College president Steve South are regulars.

Savelli, 57, has worked the restaurant business her whole life, starting in Clearwater, Fla., work-ing for the Sub Shop. She moved to Knoxville in 1993 and found the current site, which she leased until purchasing it a few months ago. The site was a Time Out deli with 28 seats; Savelli’s now has 49 seats.

Meanwhile, she has raised four daughters: Kathleen, now 26; Re-becca, 28; Jessica, 30; and Christina, 33. She has six grandchildren, fi ve boys and a girl. Kathleen is the only one who works in the restaurant, and she makes all the cakes.

Liz Savelli says her most popular di sh for lunch is the blackened grouper sub and for dinner is the grouper picante. She says her hardest job is “keeping good employees,” but “we have done well.”

■ Alan Lowe, former head of the Baker Center at UT-Knoxville, has resigned from the George W. Bush Presidential Library and Archives in Dallas and accepted a position at the Abraham Lincoln Library and Museum in Springfi eld, Ill. Lowe moved to Dallas in 2009. He was the fi rst di-rector of the Baker Center.

■ Democrats are eager to win back control of the General Assembly. Their odds of achieving this are slim, but they are pushing it hard, including recruit-ing 23 women to run for the Legislature this November. The Democrats may gain seats, while failing to reach majority control in either house. Democrats claim that likely GOP nominee Donald Trump will alienate women voters from the

Burchett to Haslam: Sorry, not sorry; principal of the year award baffl es

rock bottom lows last year are feeling?

Knox County Education Association president Lau-ren Hopson probably spoke for a lot of them when she pointed out that teachers whose scores plunge to the lowest levels get assigned coaches and subjected to twice as many evaluations the following year, “and possibly get put on intensive assistance with the constant threat of losing their job hanging over their head...

“Meanwhile, a principal who runs a school where (scores) dropped from a 5 to a 1 in one year is named principal of the year?????”

And what about the Bearden parents whose daughters were members of the softball team before Bartlett summarily fi red the highly successful coach Leonard Sams last year?

“It makes us sick,” said Adam McKenry, Sams’ for-mer assistant coach and booster club offi cer who has fi led an ethics complaint against Barrett and athletic director Nathan Lynn.

The complaint charges that Bartlett and Lynn failed to inform the boost-ers that it’s illegal for pri-vate citizens to build sports facilities on school property, and that had they known this, the parents would not have gone forward with building a new indoor bat-ting facility on the Bearden

campus. And McKenry and another parent, Randy Su-song, wouldn’t be stuck pay-ing $700 per month on the note for the new building, which was named for Sams, who was abruptly canned after he led the team to the school’s fi rst-ever state tournament run. The school board also approved the project.

The softball boosters probably aren’t the only parents who are puzzled about Bartlett’s big honor, given the massive turnover among the Bearden coach-ing staff, across the board. Over the past four years, head coaches in soccer, ten-nis, golf, baseball, volley-ball, basketball and football have departed, as well as ev-ery assistant football coach from this last season.

McKenry, Sams and Su-song are scheduled to ap-pear at the school board’s Ethics Committee on June 6.

■ The Bernie/Hill-ary battle is still raging on the national scene, but here in Knoxville, the two sides are joining to campaign for Democratic County Com-mission candidate Evelyn Gill, whose primary victory over Rick Staples in District 1 surprised a lot of political observers.

“Bernie and Hillary sup-porters are canvassing the fi rst district for Evelyn Gill. We want to show our com-munity that while we have some disagreements, we are strongly supporting our lo-cal Democratic candidate, and we will be out in the district door knocking and getting out the vote for Ev-

elyn Gill,” said Paul Berney.Gill, a special education

teacher with Knox County Schools, is a Sanders sup-porter who rode the Bernie wave in the UT- and down-town-dominated wards of the district, while Staples carried the pro-Clinton wards in the district’s heart. She faces a challenge from Republican Michael Cov-ington, who is closely iden-tifi ed with local GOP regu-lars.

Participants will meet at the Knox County Demo-cratic Party headquarters for training at 10 a.m. and hit the streets at 11.

■ Tennessee’s sun-shine laws are among the strongest in the nation and require that almost all offi -cial communications should be open to public scrutiny. This is a frequent aggrava-tion for local elected of-fi cials, who resent the fact that state legislators ex-empted themselves from the laws they passed.

So they probably weren’t queuing up any sad trom-bones for GOP Rep. Susan Lynn, who’s been raising heck because emails dis-cussing plans to challenge the federal government’s “bathroom guidelines” for transgender students got leaked.

“Whoever did this – you know who you are – I im-plore you to act with more honor than that – to behave with Christian ethics,” she said in an email that also got leaked, prompting her to de-clare herself “shocked that the email about the leaked emails was also leaked.”

Savelli’s marks 23 years on Sutherland

GOP ticket, but that may be wishful thinking.

Three women are run-ning here in Knox County, starting with former state Rep. Gloria Johnson, seek-ing to recapture her old House seat against incum-bent Eddie Smith. Also being opposed by Demo-cratic women are Reps. Martin Daniel and Roger Kane in traditionally safe GOP districts. The Smith-Johnson race in November will be the most seriously contested local contest. Out-of-state PAC money will be evident for both.

It is a fi rst in Tennes-see political history that one party (Democratic) is fi elding 23 women for state House seats including a women opposing House Speaker Beth Harwell, the fi rst woman in Tennessee history to be house speaker. She is a credible opponent and Harwell will have to campaign actively in her own district to win another term.

■ Thackston School, located on Lake Avenue adjacent to the UT cam-pus, closed its doors after 95 years last week. No announcement was made. Parents were asked not to talk to the media about it when informed a few months ago.

Deborah Wofford has headed the school for many years, and it has had a stu-dent body of 100, starting at age 3 and going through fi fth grade.

Hundreds of Knoxville residents have attended Thackston over the years. The land it is on is being sold as this column is writ-ten. It is the end of an era. Prominent citizens attend-ing Thackston include long-time Knoxville attorney Arthur G. Seymour Jr.

■ Veteran General Sessions Judge Geoff Emery and his wife re-cently returned from a two-week trip to Europe focused on World War II history. They visited the beaches at Normandy in France, the site of the Battle of the Bulge in Belgium, and Germany.

■ Vice Mayor Duane Grieve celebrated his 70th birthday on May 25. Coun-cil member Finbarr Saun-ders is the oldest member of Knoxville City Council at 71. Marshall Stair is the youngest member at 37.

City secures grant to clean up two propertiesThe U.S. Environmen-

tal Protection Agency has awarded $350,000 in brownfi eld cleanup grants that will remediate contam-ination on two important city of Knoxville redevelop-ment sites: the former Mc-Clung Warehouses on Jack-son Avenue and the former Sanitary Laundry site, 625 N. Broadway.

EPA is funding $200,000 for the 15,000-square-foot, former dry-cleaning site in the heart of the Downtown North Redevelopment Dis-trict and $150,000 for the fi ve-acre former industrial site on Jackson Avenue. The city will be contributing a 20 percent match – a com-bined $70,000.

The Tennessee Depart-ment of Environment and Conservation is partnering with the city and EPA on the cleanups, according to a city press statement.

“We know that contami-nants are present at the Sanitary Laundry and Mc-

Clung Warehouses sites, and that’s a major roadblock in bringing these key prop-erties back into reuse,” said Mayor Madeline Rogero. “The great news is that we’ll be developing a strategy to remediate the sites, and now we’ve got the resources to move ahead.”

Anne Wallace, the city’s deputy director of rede-velopment, said the two brownfi eld properties are highly visible and strate-gically located in their re-spective corridors, with “signifi cant redevelopment potential.”

“Without remediation,

the contaminated sites would continue to dete-riorate, and that affects the value of neighboring prop-erties,” Wallace said.

Rogero said the cleanups will accelerate redevelop-ment throughout the Down-town North and Jackson Av-enue corridors. The impact will be wider than just the redevelopment of the two specifi c properties, she said.

“These cleanups will kick up a notch the amazing re-surgence that’s already hap-pening in these two redevel-opment corridors.”

Previous EPA brownfi eld assessment grants, totaling almost $500,000, identi-fi ed specifi cally what and where contaminants existed in multiple sites on Jackson Avenue and in Downtown North. This follow-up round of grant funding will go to-ward remediation.

The former Sanitary Laundry and Jackson Av-enue sites have unique re-development histories and

are unusual in that both are city-owned.

The city, motivated by blight-abatement and public safety concerns, purchased the McClung Warehouses portion of the Jackson Av-enue site in 2013 from a bankruptcy trustee. The warehouses, dating back to the 1890s, were destroyed in fi res set by vagrants in 2007 and 2014.

The city acquired the abandoned dry-cleaning site on Broadway in 2014 in a tax foreclosure. The busi-ness had been a leading employer in the 1920s and 1930s.

The details of the remedi-ation work will be fi nalized by the city, TDEC and EPA. Then, later this year, an en-vironmental consultant will be hired through a competi-tively-bid contract.

Once rehabilitated, the city intends to sell both sites to private redevelopers. A mix of uses is envisioned for both properties.

Year-in and year-out, our most loyal Shopper News readers are our seniors. That was true when I began publishing the paper in 1971 and remains true today. Re-spect for place becomes stronger as we age, and the Shopper is all about people and place.

For instance, Shannon Carey has a great tale in our new North/East Shopper this week about how retired Carson-Newman guy Jim Coppock celebrated his 80th birthday. He asked his kids to throw a party at Holston Hills Country Club for his friends from sixth grade at Chilhowee Elemen-tary School.

Incredibly, people came from across the country.

Beyond Bingo: So our sales manager, Amy Lutheran, and I decided to celebrate our senior

readers with a party of sorts. Val and Cassie Smith at Sherrill Hills Retirement Resort agreed to host the fi rst one and it’s this week!

A good turnout will guarantee other such events in other parts of town. There’s no cost or obliga-tion. We hope you can make time to attend!

Oh, yes, Sherrill Hills is at the top of the hill behind Academy Sports on Kingston Pike just west of Cedar Bluff. Info: 865-622-4059

Everything is free, including lunch provided by Sherrill Hills. Door prizes will be given away and there’s a pretty good chance you’ll leave with a few other freebies.

Beyond Bingo will take place 11 a.m.-1 p.m. today and tomorrow (Wednesday and Thursday, June 1-2) at Sherrill Hills, 271 Moss Grove Boulevard.

In addition to numerous vendors that will be on hand, a number of speakers will share advice in their areas of expertise:

Jasen Bradley became a trainer more than 10 years ago.

“My own path to becoming a per-sonal trainer began after my father passed due to heart disease. It gave me the motivation to not only make my health a priority, but to help oth-ers do the same,” he says.

Bradley is now a trainer and manager for Fitness Together in Farragut. He plans to focus his pre-sentation at Beyond Bingo on the success of FT clients and how many of them started their new, healthy lifestyles after the perceived “nor-mal” age.

“I want our clients to spend as much time with their children, fam-ilies, and hobbies as long as they can without wasting their time on ‘fl y by night’ health fads.

“FT offers seniors a dedicated personalized program fi t around their interests and goals,” Bradley continues. “No program is the same and the results are guaranteed.

“Whether it’s improving your overall health and wellness, or seek-ing fi tness through strength train-ing, helping you get out of bed with-out pain, running faster, jumping higher, or learning about your weight management options to reach your fi tness goals, we’re eager to start you on a journey that will change your

Blake McCoy had a close rela-tionship to his grandparents grow-ing up, and he feels that’s part of what inspired him to help seniors.

“I feel seniors don’t get treated properly,” says McCoy. “They have so much knowledge, and often they are ignored.”

McCoy would see agents only interested in helping themselves instead of doing what was best for their client’s situation.

He was inspired to get his insur-ance license at age 19. In Septem-ber, he will have had his license for 14 years.

McCoy plans to discuss the four parts of Medicare during his pre-sentation at Beyond Bingo. He also hopes to cover the difference be-tween an independent agency and a captive agency, and how to qual-ify for extra help with prescription drugs.

The memory of the righteous is a blessing. (Proverbs 10: 7a, NRSV)

Memories light the corners of my mind, misty, wa-ter-colored memories of the way we were.

(“Memories” Barbra Streisand)

Memories

I am still thinking about Memorial Day and memories.

There are memories we cherish, hang onto, re-visit time and again. There are others, of course, that we desper-ately wish to forget.

Then, there are the memories that are pain-ful, but worthy of remem-bering, lest we repeat our follies, our mistakes, our sins.

The only good that can come from the painful memories is that we heed the lessons learned. That applies to all of us: chil-dren, grown-ups, pets, communities and nations.

The sweet memories, the fun memories, the glowing memories, how-ever, can, with time, heal the raw ones, transcend the sad ones, make useful the h ard ones.

One of the treasures I have in my possession is a letter my maternal grand-father, Maston Dunn,

wrote to my grandmoth-er, Belle, when he was courting her. His love and respect for her were clear in every line, and because of the existence of that letter, his love lives on in history as well as in my memory.

On the other side of the family tree, we also have the letters that my father’s brother wrote to Daddy and Mother during World War II. They contain fi rst person accounts of some of the deadliest battles in the Pacifi c (Okinawa, Saipan and The Mar-shalls, his family learned later), carefully redacted by the censors who were in charge of keeping troop movements secret. Those letters are living his-tory, and provide at least some explanation of why my uncle came home a changed man, a man who refused to talk about his experiences in the war.

May God bless them all, with peace at last.

Story So Far: Though it doesn’t seem possible that S.O.R.’s dreadful special soc-cer team can get better, the boys try to be-lieve they can win.

“I’d like to see a few people,” said Ms. Ap-pleton when class started a couple of days later. She called up our fi ve team members.

Hamilton laughed, as if we were an au-tomatic joke. “They going to be traded to the elementary school?” he called out. “For a player to be named later?” That made the class laugh, even Lucy Neblet.

The fi ve of us managed to get to the front desk.

“I think it’s wonderful the way you guys

won’t give up,” Ms. Appleton said to us. Since we did want to give up, we looked at her blankly.

“I knew you were bright and hardwork-ing, all of you,” she said. “I didn’t know you had so much courage.”

We hadn’t noticed either.“I mean it,” she said. “I’d like to come to

your next game and root for you. Would you mind?”

“It’s ugly,” warned Lifsom.“Scary,” agreed Hays.“Don’t worry,” she said brightly. “You’ll

win.”“Why does everyone keep saying that?”

I asked her.“Because you work so hard. When you

work hard like that, you win.” She said it with such a nice smile, I almost believed her.

“When’s your next game?”“Thursday. Pennington Prep.”“Do you mind if I come?”“I could think of better ways to kill an

afternoon,” said Saltz.

“And we’re already dead,” I said.

Ms. Appleton giggled. Then she said, “Mr. Till-man wants to see you all.” Mr. Tillman was the school counselor.

“Now?” asked Porter. “I have my special read-ing project to work on.”

“That can wait.”

“I don’t want it to wait,” cried Por-ter.

“He’s expecting you all,” said Ms. Apple-ton, fi rmly.

The fi ve of us went to Mr. Tillman’s of-fi ce. The rest of the team was already there.

Mr. Tillman’s offi ce was a fairly small place, meant for only one loser at a time, not a whole team of losers. Still, we man-aged to squeeze in.

Walls were covered with cute posters sell-ing joy and happiness. I thought it depress-ing, as if you weren’t allowed to be anything but happy. For instance, there was a picture of a kitten about to be dropped down into the Grand Canyon, with the slogan “Keep Laughing, Baby.” The cat wasn’t going to laugh for long, even if cats could laugh.

There was another picture, a kid with a big smile. The message read, “It Takes Less Muscle to Smile Than to Frown.” I had an image of a mad surgeon fi guring that out. Some fun.

Mr. Tillman was not my favorite. A great big, huge guy; someone told me he played football and tried to make it with the pros. He was always dressed the same: turtle-neck sweater with happy beads around his neck. Actually, I never trust anyone whose neck is wider than his brains. But I didn’t think Mr. Tillman would put that slogan up in his offi ce.

Anyway, he got us all in, then had us sit down on the fl oor and be uncomfortable. Really happy-like, he said, “How you guys doing!” For a small room, he talked large.

“Okay,” said Radosh.Mr. Tillman leaned forward. “Honest?”“If you want the truth, Mr. Tillman,” I

said, “we aren’t feeling so great.”“Excellent!” said Mr. Tillman, jangling

his beads. “Now we’re talking truth! And you feel bad about it. Think miserable. Have bad dreams. Sense of defeat. Disappoint-ment. Any bed-wetting? Kids tease you about the games? Probably some of your parents yell at you for being so rotten all the time. Any of you guys have girlfriends?”

Eliscue, who’d had girlfriends from nurs-ery school on up, raised his hand.

“She pokes fun at you; never want to be seen with you?”

For the fi rst time, I saw Eliscue ashamed that he even knew girls.

“I know,” continued Mr. Tillman, “you guys are starting to hate yourselves!”

“Mr. Tillman,” I said, “what can you ex-pect? All we get from people is, ‘Keep on trying. You can win.’ I mean, we keep dis-appointing them. I am beginning to hate

myself.”“I love you for

saying that, Ed,” cried Mr. Till-man. “The trick is, do you believe in yourselves?”

“Not a bit,” said Root.

“Why not? Someone want to share his feelings with me?”

“Because we stink,” said Dor-man. There was a general murmur and nodding of approval.

“Nope,” said Mr. Tillman, “I

won’t buy that. I won’t let you run your-selves down. I believe you can do it. Let me share something with you guys. To win, you must trust yourselves.”

“Don’t you have to be a little . . . good?” asked Barish.

Mr. Tillman shook his massive head. “Heart!” he cried, thumping that mass of body where I guess he kept his heart. His happy beads bounced and rattled.

“Mr. Tillman?” asked Porter.“Yes?”“I have this reading project. It’s really

important to me. May I go work on it now?”Mr. Tillman looked as if he had been in-

sulted, or his mother and father had, or his little sister (she couldn’t have been bigger) or maybe his whole family. “Boys,” he said, “the bottom line is this, ‘Don’t avoid your responsibilities.’”

That was a new one.“Learn to accept your responsibilities!”

he bellowed. “Learn that, and it will be worthwhile!”

There was some more. Just as loud. Mostly it added up to the same thing: we owed them.

“Wish they’d just let us lose in peace,” said Radosh when we got out.

“Oh, good grief,” I said.They looked where I was pointing. A big

piece of brown paper had been put on the wall. In crude letters was written:

Support a Team in Big Trouble!Special Seventh-Grade Soccer Team!S.O.R. vs. Pennington Prep1:30If we care, they will!We all had the same reaction. A quick

check to see who might be looking, and rip, down it came. Plus the seven others we found around the school.

When we got back to class, I asked Ms. Appleton about those posters.

“A class project,” she said sweetly. “We’re going all out to support you.”

“Why?” I said, feeling sick.“S.O.R. has no losers,” she said fi rmly.“Yeah,” I said, “I believed in Santa Claus

too, once.”(To be continued.)

Gibbs names Eagles of Month

By Ruth WhiteThe administrators and

staff members at Gibbs High School recently named the fi nal set of Eagles of the Month for this school year.

Representing the ninth-grade class were Tucker Scates and Haley Hall. ROTC Ranger Tucker is not-ed for being a well-rounded student and positive role model and often engages in academic debates about the correct way to solve math problems.

She uses a lot of hands on activities and con-stant movement in a game-like setting. “I love solv-ing problems and I teach the students to not give up when problems arise.” As a young girl, Carter didn’t like math and then one day it clicked. She considers herself a cheerleader for her students.

Her aunt Marilyn was her inspiration for be-coming a teacher. Carter enjoyed seeing her aunt go through the thinking/problem-solving process and wanted to help instill the desire to learn in oth-ers. When she isn’t solving math problems, Carter en-joys reading, running and taking an occasional nap.

VBS NOTES

Lincoln Memorial Uni-versity president B. James

D a w s o n took time during the spring com-mencement e x e r c i s e s to celebrate the career of Dr. John C op e l a nd , who is re-

tiring from the University after nearly 40 years of ser-vice.

Copeland, the longest tenured faculty member at LMU, served as macebearer during the commencement exercises. He joined the fac-ulty on Sept. 1, 1976, and is now professor emeritus of biology.

He has been engaged in discovery research and conservation biology in the state of Tennessee and the adjoining regions of South-west Virginia and South-east Kentucky.

He has conducted work with mammals, amphib-ians and native plants.

Copeland

Copeland capped his ca-reer with a grant to survey freshwater sponges in Ten-nessee. In that study he dis-covered and named a new genus.

Copeland mentored many students, providing opportunities fo r students to join him in fi eld work and supervising their research projects throughout his career. Moreover, he coun-seled them as they entered the workforce or continued their education. He was awarded LMU’s Houston Award for teaching excel-lence in 2005.

Fifty-five individuals have been named seasonal interpretive recreators for summer at state parks. They will provide guided tours, hikes, slide shows, demonstrations, campfires and other activities for camp visitors.

Locally, the SIRs are: ■ Seven Islands State

Birding Park – Mark Armstrong

■ Norris Dam State Park – Josh Powell and Brittany Perryman

■ Big Ridge State Park – Jordan Cross

Most of the summer staff are college students study-ing natural resource, rec-reation, history, or biology-related fi elds.

Tennessee State Parks offers a one-week intense training in interpretive techniques.

Based upon Freeman Til-den’s Principles of Interpre-tation, participants learn to develop thematic programs on the primary and second-ary park themes.

SIRs also work closely with the park rangers to assure that park facilities, buildings, grounds and equipment are safe and se-cure. As most full-time state park rangers start out as SIRs, this program provides a great starting point for a state parks career.

Tennessee’s 56 state parks offer diverse natural, recreational and cultural experiences for individu-als, families or business and professional groups.

State park features range from pristine natural areas to 18-hole champ ionship golf courses. Info: tnstate parks.com

The Rotary GuyTom King, tking535@gmail.com

The parallels are eerie. Heather McFall and Cara Vaughn start-ed college wanting to be attorneys, but both decided on teaching. Both place loving re-lationships with their students fi rst and fore-most. And on the same day, both were honored by the Rotary Club of Knoxville as its 2016 Teachers of the Year.

Heather is a kindergarten teacher at West Haven Elementary School. Cara teaches biology and chem-istry (including honors classes in both) at Bearden High School. Heather has been in the classroom for 15 years, Cara for nine years.

Here’s another parallel: Each received a $500 check from Knoxville Rotary and a $250 gift certifi cate from A&W Offi ce Supply at the club’s May 24 meeting at the Crowne Plaza Hotel.

“Our reward is our students’ success,” Heather said in her acceptance speech. “You have to be called to teaching and I can’t imagine doing anything else. Teaching for me is all about bringing love and compas-sion to the kids, every day.”

Cara’s grandmother was a kindergarten teacher for 27 years who taught her to let her students know they are loved. “I come into every class every day to give them love. They need love and they need to be chal-lenged,” she said. “It’s about relationships and that’s why I teach.”

■ Off to South AfricaFive members of Webb School’s Interact Club and

Club Adviser Liz Gregor and Rotarian Rob Johnson of the Rotary Club of Knoxville left yesterday (May 31) for Cape Town, South Africa.

“This will be the third Webb Interact trip to South Africa. We will partner with the Rotary Club of Stan-ford (one hour outside of Cape Town) and will volun-teer in schools, an orphanage, soup kitchens, a swap shop and a baby stork project,” Gregor said.

The students will visit Robben Island, where Nel-son Mandela was held prisoner for 27 years. Knoxville Rotary sponsors the Webb Interact Club.

In 1965, Keith Miller authored a book called, “A Taste of New Wine,” which I purchased in hardback for $3.50. I read it and was so impressed by his wisdom I loaned the book to many of my friends. The dust cover is dirty and worn.

By 1968, the book was in its 12th printing. It was endorsed by many well-known people of faith. Billy Graham’s comments were, “Keith Miller has written a wonderful book. In it he tells of the exhilarating and wonderful experiences of knowing Christ in depth.”

In a surprisingly short period of time, there is now new wine among us. When the perils of tobacco use was fi nally accepted by most, we feared the economic loss by the farmers then grow-

ing tobacco. I grew up on a farm, and it was a priority to get the tobacco handed off and to market in time to get those new shoes or whatev-er for Christmas.

I’ve carefully observed the transformation of the hillside along the Jack Woods Hollow in Union County where a legal dis-tillery once operated. Much research and expertise has gone into the building and operation of The Winery at Seven Springs Farm. I’m impressed with those shiny new stainless steel contain-ers and the education and skill of its winemaker, Nicky Riddle. The parents, James “Rick” and Donna Riddle, are striving to see that the winery and farm are suc-cessful. Rick is a veterinar-ian and has an agricultural and military background. It is said that “we play with the hand we are dealt.”

It looks like East Tennes-see and Union County in particular may have been dealt a better hand than we had thought. The market will choose the wines people

drink – will it be Napa Val-ley of California or wines from the Great Valley Wine Trail of East Tennessee? The economic gain to our region and to our county will no doubt enrich the lives of our people. It may just put Union County on the “Big Map.”

You will remember that before food processing and canning came along, there was no preserved grape juice, even for reli-gious sacraments. In Jesus’ time wine was the accepted symbolic observance of the Lord’s Supper – “For this is my blood of the new cove-nant which is shed for many for the remission of sins.” (King James Bible)

The blood of Christ is sig-nifi ed and represented by the wine. There are many interesting scriptures about wine, and 1 Timothy 5:23 is sometimes invoked by our modern doctors when pa-tients are having diffi culties – “No longer drink only wa-ter, but use a little wine for your stomach’s sake. …”

“There are now more than 25 wineries in East Tennes-see, and fi ve of those are on the Great Valley Wine Trail founded by the Riddles. These wineries are gain-ing momentum. When you are checking out the wines made at Seven Springs Farm, be sure to check out the art work on the labels by

Progress is grinding along day by day in our com-munities. At times progress can make for a fascinating spectator activity. So much so that downtown, they put little windows in the walls around big construction sites, so the “sidewalk su-perintendents” can follow the progress and come up with all sorts of ideas as to how things would be done if they were in charge. Out here in the country we can just drive by and see the ac-tion from our cars.

One project that I see every week or so, and that startles me every time I see it, is our new landmark HPUD 5-million-gallon sewer retention tank on Dry Gap Pike, fl anking the en-trance to Brickey-McCloud Elementary School. That’s the same school, you will recall, that was to have been the recipient of a really nice outdoor classroom until, in the Debacle of 2010, HPUD’s contractor summarily de-stroyed the lovely grove of woodland just to the east of the present mega-tank.

I wonder if HPUD got the idea for their colossus from the huge blue water tank that KUB perpetrated on the city of Knoxville, perched proudly on the city’s south-ern skyline amidst the de-veloping parks and trails of its Urban Wilderness.

There are a couple more projects that I’m following daily.

The huge Kroger store is going up at the former Pow-ell airport, which in earlier years showed up on the map as “Powell Marsh” and was visited by birders to see its ducks and herons and other wildlife. More recently it was used as a large hay-fi eld, complete with nesting meadowlarks and visited by night-herons and snipe for-aging in the ditches. It was

‘Progress’ in Powell (and Halls and beyond)

Dr. Bob Collier

always a pleasant sight to drive by and see all those big bales of newly-harvest-ed hay scattered across the landscape, like a Monet painting.

Other businesses are said to be poised to join the Kroger store there and com-plete the transformation to suburbia. The Central Avenue-Emory Road inter-section should become very interesting at that point. I notice that already the poles and wires for yet another stoplight have gone up at the Kroger entrance; good luck to you folks living up Blueberry.

And speaking of the Central-Emory Road inter-section, the other project that I watch daily is that of the 220-apartment complex going up a half-block to the west. The apartments are on the former site of two nice homes with yards and trees, plus another small hayfi eld, now gone forever. Our 220 new family units will enter and exit their quarters via a single outlet onto Emory Road, into the long line of eastbound travelers who line up there every morn-ing, every afternoon, and every Sunday after church. Maybe the church crowd, at least, will be polite.

I won’t comment on the famous “multi-million-dollar left turn” project in the midst of the Halls com-munity, where the Nor-ris Freeway meets High-way 33, because in spite of those helpful signs that say “change in traffi c pattern” (no kidding), I can’t begin to

fi gure out what they’re do-ing out there all these years. Parts of it look more like a rock quarry than a highway. But, they undoubtedly know what they’re doing.

More entertaining to watch is the Maynard-ville Highway project out through Halls to the Union County line. They’re re-moving mountains, fi lling chasms, running new power lines, and beautifying with huge brown mats that mi-raculously turn into lush green hillsides. Mind you, I have no objections to high-way improvements, having been victim to any number of my fellow Americans travelling Highway 33, dog-gedly determined to not al-low their vehicle to exceed 35 miles an hour in the 55 zone.

Highway construction does take its toll, though. When TDOT widened Em-ory Road from two lanes to fi ve lanes with sidewalks, beginning around 2001, for the 1,117 feet of high-way along my property they took 0.97acre of land. That fi gures out to be about fi ve acres of land for a one-mile stretch of straight, level highway with very little roadside right-of-way. Imagine how many acres it’s taking for the Highway 33 project, with all its slopes and fi lls.

All is not lost, though, as it is when you fi ll in a marsh to build a shopping center, or a hayfi eld becomes home to 220 families. According to an article in the latest issue of National Wildlife Magazine, there are at least 17 million acres of roadsides in the United States – an area larger than Vermont, New Hampshire and Mas-sachusetts combined! And across the country, smart people are beginning to re-think roadsides.

Take the costs of mainte-nance, for example. Road-sides need to be mowed, and many are sprayed with herbicides. Expensive. But also very bad for a lot of our natural things – plants, wildfl owers, birds, butter-fl ies. The National Wildlife article relates that a num-ber of state departments of transportation are changing right-of-way management practices in favor of wildlife. And they are saving money, beautifying the roadside scenery, and guess what – helping lots of critters.

Some of the pragmatic, life-is-a-real-thing west-ern states have realized for years how much hay they were bush-hogging along their highways, and have a system to allow farmers to cut and bale the hundreds of acres of roadsides, me-dians and interchanges in their states. What a win-win situation! State DOT doesn’t mow, farmers get loads of hay. Seems almost too rea-sonable to be true.

The article notes that these days, a number of state DOTs are getting into the act, and mentions Iowa, Indiana, Florida, and Ne-braska as examples. Flor-ida’s DOT is responsible for 186,000 acres of road-sides. They are reducing their mowing by 10 percent, mowing just fi ve feet up the roadside slopes, leaving the remaining 10 to 30 feet to grow in native grasses and wild fl owers. This allows the ground-nesting species of birds the whole nesting sea-son to raise their young, and us and the butterfl ies to en-joy the fl owers. Then in late fall the DOT mows it all, to keep down the bushes and general undergrowth. Iowa has 50,000 acres of road-sides planted in native fl ow-ers; Lady Bird Johnson has had Texas doing it for years.

But a reminder – you don’t need 17 million acres to have a habitat highly suit-able for birds and butter-fl ies. Every half-acre or two-acre yard can have trees and shrubs that provide nest-ing sites and safety from predators, produce fruits, berries and seeds for food, and serve as food plants that attract food items for baby birds – bugs, caterpil-lars, earthworms and the like. And the inchworms and caterpillars that don’t get eaten? They become all those butterfl ies and moths, that along with the spiders,

bees and beetles, make our gardens such fun and inter-esting places.

So at least one message can be: don’t despair about all that inevitable develop-ment. Those 220 apart-ments on a 12-acre space could have been 220 houses on one-acre lots, gobbling up another 200-acre farm somewhere. And we can all use our yards, our parks and our roadsides in better and more benefi cial ways. They all offer opportunities to give our fellow critters a better world. We’re all in this together, you know.

Chilhowee ‘grads’ come home

By Shannon CareyWhen the time came to

plan Jim Coppock’s 80th birthday, he told his family he didn’t want a party.

He just wanted a get-to-gether with all his old friends who fi nished eighth grade at Chilhowee Elementary School in 1950.

“Some of us started fi rst grade together,” Coppock said. “We grew up in the ’40s and ’50s in Holston Hills and Chilhowee Hills. So many of us were in Boy Scouts togeth-er. Some of us haven’t seen each other in 30 or 40 years.”

Family members helped plan the reunion for May 22 at Holston Hills Country Club, and Coppock and his friend Conrad Majors started tracking people down. They did it through old-fashioned detective work, contacting old friends, asking them for more contacts, and so on.

“These are good friends from the old days,” said Dick Pulliam, who traveled from Memphis with his wife, Carol. “They are long,

Mary S. Dodson’s (back center) fi fth-grade class at Chilhowee Elementary School, May 19, 1947. Ten from this group, plus 14 graduated from eighth grade at CES

in 1950, gathered for a reunion last week. Photo submitted

life-lasting friends.”These folks went on to

Central High School, and many attended the Univer-sity of Tennessee together. Other attendees include Knoxville opthamologist Kenneth Rawlston, King-sport pediatrician Kent Bla-zier, and Jimmy Lockwood of the Crosseyed Cricket resort.

And the name on every-one’s lips, the thread that ties them all together, is Cop-pock’s father, Jimmy Cop-pock, who served as scout-master for the Boy Scouts in the group.

“He kept us young boys in line,” said John Watts. “Due to his urging, many of us be-came Eagle Scouts.”

In fact, about 20 boys from this age group became Eagle Scouts under Mr. Cop-

as he played golf,” said Her-bert Hall.

“He is without a doubt the most dedicated scout-master I’ve had any contact

with,” said Blazier. “I would put what I learned in Scouts up against what I learned in high school any day.”

As the afternoon drew on, classmates and friends gath-ered around a slideshow of

yearbook photos and other mementos from the old days, sharing laughter and smiles and swapping tales. And for

Jim Coppock, it was a birth-day party to be remembered.

Feeling the ’Burn?Man’s fi rst case of ‘heartburn’ was actually heart attack

It was that last bite of pizza. Or so Michael Smith thought.

He fi gured his usual Friday night pizza delivery included his fi rst-ev-er case of heartburn. “It was just a burning sensation right there,” he said, pointing to just below his ster-num.

But what the seemingly healthy 65-year-old Sevierville man didn’t know is that he wasn’t having heart-burn – he was having a heart attack.

“He’d never had indigestion be-fore so he didn’t recognize it,” said Smith’s partner, Yvonne Osborn, who spent the next three hours trying to persuade him to go to the Emergency Department at LeConte Medical Center. “I asked him, ‘What does it feel like?’ He said, ‘I don’t know how to explain it, but it just hurts right here.’ And I said, ‘Mike, that sounds like your heart.’ ‘Oh no,’ he said, ‘I don’t think it would be that.’ That was at 7:30, then I looked over and he was sound asleep in the chair, and I thought, ‘Well, it can’t hurt that bad if he’s sound asleep.’ But we had worked all day, he was tired.”

At 9:45 p.m., Smith awakened just in time to see the winner of the American Idol fi nale on television. At 10, Yvonne asked if the pain was still there. When he replied that it was, Osborn said she remained calm on the outside, but on the inside, was “screaming, ‘Let’s go!’”

Finally, she told him, “This is crazy to not go because if you don’t go now, I’m going to wake up in the middle of the night and you’re clutching your chest having a heart attack, it’s going to take me some time to get my contacts in so I can drive you and that’s not going to be good because I’m going to be in a bad mood. So, maybe we should just go over there and see what they have to say. It’s not far from our house. If

Michael Smith is back to “fl ip-

ping” his home thanks to the

cutting edge treatment he

received at Fort Sanders Re-

gional Medical Center.

Heart attacks often mistaken for indigestionHeartburn or heart attack? Michael

Smith couldn’t tell the difference. Could you?Decide quickly because, depending on

what type of heart attack you have, your best chance for survival is getting to the hospital within the first three hours of your symptoms.

“Indigestion can be a common symp-tom,” said Dr. Josh Todd, the interven-tional cardiologist at Fort Sanders Re-gional Medical Center who placed a stent in Smith’s right coronary artery. “Patients tend to ignore the initial symptoms of a heart attack, and may attempt other al-ternative strategies to help alleviate pain such as antacids or pain medications in-cluding aspirin. When the symptoms aren’t relieved - that’s when EMS is usu-ally called.”

In fact, a recent survey of 500 heart at-tack survivors found that eight out of ten failed to realize that they were having a heart attack. One third of those mistook their symptoms for indigestion. The study

also found that half of heart attack suffer-ers do not seek help for more than an hour because they think they have indigestion or other minor conditions.

“It can be hard even for physicians to interpret these symptoms” said Dr. Todd. “Based on a patient’s symptoms and their risk factor profile, the chance that indi-gestion-like signs are indicators of a blood flow problem with the heart can range from 20 to 90 percent.”

“The emergency department is the best place to determine the patient’s risk by rapidly obtaining an EKG within 10 min-utes of the patient’s arrival. This test will conclude to which type of heart attack a patient is experiencing – STEMI (ST-seg-ment Elevation Myocardial Infarction) or Non-STEMI,” he added.

The diagnosis of a STEMI heart attack is made by a combination of symptom in-dicators and an EKG tracing that shows elevated “ST” segments, indicating an ar-tery is totally blocked.

“There are large amounts of data show-

ing that if you have that type heart at-tack, sooner is better for interventional action because the artery is 100 percent blocked,” said Dr. Todd. “If the EKG does not demonstrate this finding, a medical evaluation is performed which involves obtaining laboratory testing over the next several hours to see if heart cell death has occurred. The first EKG is how we deter-mine who is emergently transported to the Cath Lab.”

The best time for treatment is within the first three hours of the onset of symp-toms. After 12 hours of continued symp-toms, there is little benefit to procedures offered in the Cath Lab. Individuals at risk for a heart attack should be well informed of these facts. If you can recognize the symptoms of heart attack early and get to the hospital, you can receive the most ef-fective treatment.

Outlying hospitals without the ability to perform emergent interventions like LeConte Medical Center have established “STEMI” teams that spring into action the

moment a heart patient first enters theiremergency department.

“If a person presents with symptomsthat may by caused by a heart attack, theyreceive and EKG rapidly, and if the patientmeets criteria, the STEMI team is activat-ed,” said Dr. Todd. “After the STEMI teamis activated, a request is sent to an EMSemergency transport provider. LeContethen notifies the Cath Lab team at FortSanders Regional so that the team is readyto go before the patient arrives.”

Michael Smith learned that it’s not how much you hurt, but why you are hurting.

“Pain intensity is not as important as the EKG fi ndings,” said Dr. Todd. “Mistakinga heart attack for heartburn is not uncom-mon. Refl ux disease can present the sameway. For every one patient who is having aheart attack, there are probably 10 with thesame symptoms who aren’t. If you are hav-ing symptoms that may represent a heartattack, prompt presentation to qualifi edmedical personnel who can perform andinterpret an ECG may be life- saving.”

was on the phone trying to get a helicopter to transport him to Fort Sanders Regional, but it was too windy – thank goodness! It was like in slow motion – I was watching all these people like they were choreo-graphed in a play. It was incredible to me. Then the doctor (Dr. Dennis Mays, a LeConte emergency medi-cine doctor) came in and he was, of course, listening to the heart. Every-body was doing a different thing.

“They started asking me ques-tions about how I felt,” Smith added. “I said, ‘I feel fi ne. I don’t feel dizzy. I don’t feel weak. I don’t have any pains. I just have a little pain right here and it’s not bad. And she said, ‘On a scale of 1 to 10 how bad is it?’ I said, ‘Not bad, maybe a .5.’ She said, ‘Five?’ I said, ‘No, point 5.’ I could barely feel it.”

By 11:30 p.m., Smith was in the back of an ambulance, chatting with the emergency medical technicians as they raced to Fort Sanders Re-gional’s Emergency Department. Along the way, the EMTs were feed-ing information to FSRMC.

Upon arrival at Fort Sanders, he was wheeled directly to the cath lab where he was met by interventional

cardiologist, Dr. Joshua Todd who had found Smith’s right coronary to be 100 percent blocked, requiring a stent.

“He was show-ing me my heart on the monitor and how the blockage was like a big stop

sign right at the end of the vein – no blood passes through here any-more,” said Smith. “Then they put the stent in, and – Boom! – you could see the artery open up and go right down to the heart. My heart

is just down there beating away. Itwas just incredible! You’re awakethe whole time and you don’t feela thing. I was amazed that I didn’tfeel any anxiety at all when theysaid, ‘You’re having a heart attack. Ithought I was going to be scared ornervous.”

“I think part of that was the waythat everybody handled it,” saidOsborn, who says Smith’s heartcatheterization and stent was fi n-ished and he was in recovery whenshe arrived at FSRMC at 12:10 a.m.“They were so calm, so forthcomingwith information. They told me ev-erything that was going on and thatreally reduced my anxiety becauseI’ve never been through this before.They were so kind about giving meevery single detail, about what wasgoing to happen, where it was goingto happen, and I think that was veryimportant. They all deserve creditfor the way they handled everythingso professionally. And not just pro-fessionally, (but) the kindness theyexhibited was really important.”

A day and a half later, Smithwas discharged from FSRMC withinstructions not to lift anythingheavier than a gallon of milk forseven days. After the seventh day,he didn’t rest.

Instead, he returned to the taskhe was working on before his heartattack – building a three-bedroom,two-bath home which he and Os-born will “fl ip” in two years, some-thing the couple has been doing for17 years as they traveled throughoutthe United States.

For now, however, Smith’s hearthas found a home in Seviervillewhere Osborn plans to keep a closewatch on his heart. “If you have apain, don’t be embarrassed, don’tfeel badly – just go!” she said. “Ifthey tell you that you’ve got indiges-tion, great! But it might not be.”

they say you have indigestion, hoo-ray! But let’s just go see. It won’t hurt.’ He fi nally said, ‘OK, let’s go’ but grudgingly.”

They arrived at LeConte Medical Center’s Emergency Department about 10:30, walked to the counter and told the receptionist that Smith was “either having a heart attack or has indigestion.”

“I don’t think it was 30 seconds before they took me to triage and

did some bloodwork and put me on an EKG and another 30 seconds or minute later, they said, ‘Get a bed! We need a room,’” said Smith. “They hooked me up with all kinds of other stuff, and said ‘You’re having a heart attack.’”

“People came from everywhere,” said Osborn. “There must’ve been 15 people around. Some were putting IVs in each arm, some were putting those heart leads on, another one
