Basketball: a summer sport

Donnie Tyndall generated so much excitement with his remarkable recruiting roundup, a spur-of-the-mo-ment thing, that basketball is suddenly a summer sport.

People who didn’t know there was a Rocky Top League are now asking about rosters and schedules. Youngsters wonder if there has ever been anything like this outburst of enthusiasm.

By Sandra ClarkLies, awesome apple butter and

more lies highlighted a visit to the J.C. Baker Lodge when WATE-TV news anchor Gene Patterson dropped by to video some authen-tic country cooking. Shopper-News interns came along to watch a real television production.

Patterson made everyone feel at ease, and Joe McDonald fi red up the oven with some “home-made” biscuits from Food City. Making apple butter is a four-hour process, Don Bridges explained. Luckily, members of the Apple Butter Brothers had arrived early, and the pot was bubbling to the perfect consistency.

The interns got plastic spoon-fuls of the mixture, straight from the kettle. “Is this hot?” asked one.

Yikes!The Maynardville Masons

started making apple butter about eight years ago. “We came up with the idea after we discovered a little chapter with about 20 members that had more money than any other chapter. They raised it mak-ing apple butter,” said Bridges.

“First we laughed, then we cried, then we got to work,” some-body else chimed in.

It’s hot work for sure. The apple butter must be constantly stirred to prevent scorching. The men take turns pushing the wooden

paddle. McDonald said that, too, is an art: “You don’t want it to go glop-glop-glop, and you don’t want to glop ... glop. You’ve got to stir it just right.

“We sit around and talk,” he added. “There’s a lot more going on than apple butter. There’s a lot of fellowship.”

The Masons sell their product at regional festivals. A pint retails for $7 ($5 to fellow Masons).

The J.C. Baker Lodge supports local Boy Scouts, sending two to camp each summer, but its major project is to provide shoes to those in need. During the school year, the men open the fellowship hall on the fi rst and third Saturdays

to distribute shoes to anyone who shows up – 600 pairs last year.

Jim Chadwell explains: “We don’t ask where they’re from or how much they make. We just ask for their shoe size.”

The Shopper-News interns saw a news professional in action as Patterson and his camera opera-tor taped the Masons. Then the Masons served biscuits and apple butter for all. Great fun!

The segment will air on WATE on Friday, June 20, Patterson said. It’s part of a series on locally pro-duced food sponsored by Food City. Tune in to see some mighty fi ne fellows having fun as they benefi t the community.

Cox is undergoing treatments that leave her unable to do sim-ple tasks, and she says, “I have had to learn to accept help from

others, which has been and still is very hard for me because I’ve always been so independent and have never asked for help be-fore. I have always been one of the ‘helpers’ instead of being on the receiving end.

“This has been completely life-changing and humbling. I am very fortunate and blessed to have lov-

ing family and friends who have stepped up and assisted with ev-erything, including getting me to doctor appointments, cooking dinner or helping with housework.

Car show benefi t June 28

By Betty BeanSupporters of combining city

and county gov-ernments tried and failed to get it done in 1959, 1978 and 1983 be-fore launching a high-dollar, go-for-broke 1996 attempt that ended as the most embarrassing failure of all.

Tommy Schumpert, then coun-ty mayor and a unifi cation sup-porter, predicted it would be 15 or 20 years before anybody tried it again, if ever. And he fi gured it might take some kind of crisis to

trigger such an attempt.Eighteen years later, after mul-

tiple county scandals – from a se-ries of term limits and sunshine-law violations that led to “Black Wednesday,” to the indictments of two consecutive elected trustees – a new unifi cation movement is emerging, this time from a differ-ent direction than the usual busi-ness elites who have been met with suspicion by county residents.

Knox County Mayor Tim Bur-chett sees benefi ts from unifi ca-tion and seems determined to avoid the failures of the past. The popular Republican is running unopposed for reelection and appears ready to make unifi ed

government the “big idea” of his second term. He’s been dropping public hints and engaging in one-on-one discussions about it for months.

“Just don’t call it metro,” he said, drawing a distinction be-tween his plan and Metro Nash-ville, which combined its city and county governments in 1963. It’s governed by a 40-member metro council. The top cop is appointed, and the elected sheriff is a glori-fi ed jailor.

Burchett wants to blunt the op-position of city employees, who fought the 1996 referendum. He calls the Knoxville Fire Depart-ment “one of the best in the coun-

try.” He strongly supports keeping the elected sheriff as the combined government’s “top cop.”

But his biggest talking point is saving money. He cites duplication in parks and recreation, human resources, tax collection and other departments. He doesn’t foresee wholesale fi rings and thinks city and county staffs could be com-bined and trimmed through attri-tion and retirements.

He works well with Knoxville Mayor Madeline Rogero, and her chief policy offi cer, Bill Lyons, said Rogero will gladly talk about uni-fi cation.

Farm leaders support local Ag program

Local and state farm lead-ers have written to support the discontinued Agricultural Education program for Halls and Gibbs high schools and the accompanying loss of the FFA chapter, which opened competitions and scholarship opportunities for students.

Charles Hord, executive di-rector of the Tennessee Cattle-men’s Association, and Doug Dawkins, a Halls resident who is vice president of TCA for 11 counties, say the decision to end the Halls and Gibbs FFA chapter hurts students.

Mike Blankenship’s program at North Knox Vocational Cen-ter “has been highly successful over the years and is recog-nized as one of the outstanding programs in the state,” they wrote to Superintendent Dr. Jim McIntyre.

“While we certainly under-stand that budgets are tight and tough decision sometimes have to be made,” they wrote, “we encourage you to look at other options and consider reinstating the FFA program.”

The email was sent to school board members Kim Sever-ance, Mike McMillan and Lynne Fugate.

■ Celebrating another birthdayThe American Cancer So-

ciety’s resource center library inside Tennova’s cancer cen-ter celebrated its fourth year of handing out resources and an occasional hug.

The library is staffed with dedicated volunteers who are passionate about reaching out to others.

David Underwood has been a cancer survivor for seven years and has been part of the program from the beginning, even before the American Cancer Society came on board. “It’s about giving with no expectation of getting something in return.

But you always get more back,” said Underwood.

Sheila Brown said that her time volunteering is “very rewarding,” and Sue Boyle added that she hopes her testimony of survival can give hope to others. “We all (the volunteers) have been touched by cancer in some way,” she said.

The resource library is open 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mon-day, 1-4 p.m. Wednesday and Friday, and 1-4:30 p.m. Tuesday and Thursday. The goal is to be able to have the center open full time, but volunteers are needed to reach that ambition.

“We are always interest-ed in fi nding ways to deliver quality service at a lower cost. However, Mayor Rog-ero has not yet had discus-sions with Mayor Burchett on this matter.”

The bitter animosity be-tween Sheriff Tim Hutchi-son, who opposed unifi ca-tion, and Knoxville Mayor Victor Ashe, who supported it, proved insurmountable in 1996. Neither holds offi ce today, and Sheriff Jimmy “J.J.” Jones is a former KPD employee who has populat-ed his command staff with

KPD retirees.Lyons, a consultant and

pollster in the failed 1996 unifi cation attempt, says combining the two govern-ments won’t be easy, de-spite a friendlier political climate. He’s not sure what happened before, but “we do know that it has never won outside the city.”

Ashe said it could be even harder to sell unifi cation to city voters this time around.

“Even though Tim and Madeline appear to get along, they are totally oppo-site on almost everything. …

Why would (city residents) vote to have a less progres-sive government that won’t ever vote to raise taxes?”

Burchett is undeterred.“We’ve got to get the dis-

cussion started,” he said. “It’s not something you just say and it happens. You have to have a lot of community input.

“If the community de-cides it wants to continue with duplication of services, then, we’ll stay on this road. But if they realize there’s a problem, this might resolve it.”

Moving from rural Eighty Four, Penn., to the urban paradise of West Knoxville had been a most-ly pleasurable experience until about four weeks ago. That’s when I discovered I had traded suicidal deer for homicidal raccoons.

If you don’t think a rac-coon is capable of mayhem on a Charles Manson scale, you’ve never known a coon hunter, nor have you met Rachel Campos, an Alam-eda, Calif., woman who was attacked by fi ve raccoons a few years ago.

“It was defi nitely like something out of a horror movie,” Campos said, just before starting a round of rabies shots.

It wouldn’t surprise me if Cliven Bundy employs rac-coons for security and that they go armed. If they can turn a doorknob, they can squeeze a trigger.

I haven’t met a gun-tot-ing raccoon in my neigh-borhood (yet), but fi rearms aren’t necessary if you’ve got muscles like Godzilla. These guys are strong, and I have the spilled garbage cans to prove it.

You might think that tipping a garbage can is nothing notable. In this case, you’d be wrong.

Somehow, as a single person, I accumulate enough empty food con-tainers each week to feed a Rwandan refugee camp for a month with the scrapings.

The heft of my trashcans is legendary. Garbage col-lectors beg me to eat out more often, and offensive linemen develop hernias nudging the cans the six inches separating the car-port from the driveway.

Once vandals (probably raccoons) heisted the Mu-seum of Appalachia’s anvil used for their July Fourth anvil shoot. My contain-ers were poised to step in until visions of soup-can shrapnel showers spooked the organizers.

Ed Shouse had a signifi -cant and convincing victory over Trustee Craig Leuthold in the May primary for Knox County Trustee.

Shouse gains Leuthold’s support

His margin of victory was generally consistent across Knox County with the excep-tion of Sequoyah Hills, West Hills, Deane Hill Recreation Center and Bearden, where his margins were almost 4 to 1 or greater. Leuthold has his best margins in the Farragut and Cedar Bluff areas.

He and Leuthold ran a civil campaign.

Shouse carried every precinct within the city of Knoxville, where he served 20 years on City Council. He now faces Jim Berrier, the Democratic nominee.

Leuthold is supporting Shouse. Many people be-lieve he will run for prop-erty assessor in 2016 when Phil Ballard is term limited and unable to seek a third term. Leuthold has worked in that offi ce in the past.

Shouse is expected to be a steady, low-key offi cehold-er who will keep the offi ce out of trouble.

He has served in both city and county government. He and his wife, Lisa, along with their son, Joe, live off Northshore near Morrell Road.

There is every expecta-tion Shouse will serve two terms (eight years).

■ Getting a handleon how the current contests for the three Supreme Court justices seeking retention in the Aug. 7 election are going is very diffi cult as there is no polling that gives us a clue. Neither side has started spending money on advertising despite rumors and stories that it will hap-pen.

Some $600,000 has been raised to assist the three incumbents, but that is a small sum for a vigorous statewide race. That much money would be needed to penetrate the Memphis me-dia market alone.

The truth is that few per-sons could name a single member of the state Su-preme Court if asked. For the record, they are Cornelia Clark, Sharon Lee and Gary Wade, seeking retention, and William Koch and Jan-ice Holder, whose terms are not up. Even fewer would know much about the deci-sions they have rendered on the court.

Based on past elections, about 30 percent of the voters will automatically vote “no” on keeping the incumbent.

Those seeking the ouster of the three justices, led by Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey, have not yet opened their media advertising. How well the ads are put together may de-termine the outcome of this struggle.

Ramsey strongly argued for the replacement of the Supreme Court justices at the GOP Statesmen’s Din-ner in Nashville where New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie spoke. There was applause for his remarks.

Much of this battle is oc-

Knox County Demo-crats have a history of vot-ing in Republican prima-ries. Many times (e.g. last month’s county primary races) Democrats fi eld very few candidates, leaving rac-es to be decided in the GOP primary, so it’s not particu-larly surprising that con-scientious Democrats who want a say in who governs them sometimes check the box marked R.

Two years ago, in his fi rst term as 7th District state senator, Stacey Campfi eld, who has a history of narrow primary victories over mul-tiple opponents followed by smashing general-election wins, fi led a bill to “close” primary elections by requir-ing voters to swear a loyalty oath before being allowed to pull the lever.

Meanwhile, Richard Briggs, with his solid-gold physician/military hero/ county commissioner/hap-pily married guy resume, was already talking about

The case for crossov er voting

running against him in 2014. It’s not hard to con-nect the dots.

Although Campfi eld told the Chattanooga Times-Free Press that he wanted to keep those bent on causing “havoc” out of GOP prima-ries, it’s a pretty safe bet the havoc he feared was going to be wreaked by Democrats voting in the Republican primary for the purpose of sending Stacey Campfi eld home.

That was before Cheri Siler, who also has her own solid-gold resume – math-ematics teacher with two legit college degrees, hap-pily married mother of six accomplished children who is not only “from here” but grew up helping her parents in their family-owned chain Larry

curring because many Re-publicans want to place a Republican in the Attorney General’s offi ce on Sept. 1, when the offi ce must be fi lled by the fi ve justices then serving on the court. The current justices have indicated they will be fair and transparent about the selection without saying more about the choice. No woman, no Republican and no African-American has ever served as Tennessee’s Attorney General.

Knox County’s next Dis-trict Attorney (Charme Knight) will be the fi rst wom-an to hold that position.

Interestingly, the state Democratic Party has not yet taken an active position on the three Democratic justices. Most support for them has come from a bi-partisan group of attorneys and judges. Those attorneys who may favor a change have been quiet.

A few weeks ago a unity rally was held in Sevierville, Wade’s hometown, where he was mayor for 10 years. It was attended by three Re-publican legislators, state Rep. Dale Carr and Sens. Doug Overbey and Steve Southerland.

Longtime Sevier CountyMayor Larry Waters hostedit. Wade was the only justicethere. Turnout was modest.Getting sustained interestin either retention or re-placement will be an uphilleffort. Should a current jus-tice fail to win retention, thereplacement will be chosenby Republican Gov. BillHaslam.

■ On another judicialnote, Gov. Haslam and for-mer Gov. Phil Bredesen arehosting a breakfast on June24 at the Governor’s Resi-dence to discuss Amend-ment 2 on the Novemberballot. It allows the gover-nor to name Supreme Courtjudges subject to legislativeconfi rmation. Confi rmationprocesses can easily becomepolitical, particularly whenthe confi rmation must oc-cur in both the House andthe Senate.

The invitation refers to itas “a small group breakfast.”It is unstated as to whetherdonations will be sought tofund the campaign. Therewill be four state constitu-tional amendments on theballot in November. Sub-jects include the incometax, abortion, veterans andthe judiciary.

The fi rst week my cans were ransacked, I naively attributed the mishap to strong winds.

Discovering the cans tipped and the contents scattered a few days later after a serenely calm night blew away the high-winds hypothesis. A trail of muti-lated Lean Cuisine cartons led to a slotted drain cover, and as I peered into its dark depths two malevolent eyes peered back.

He was, if nothing else, cocky – he winked at me.

Obviously, this meant war.

I tried securing the lids with cement blocks and tying them down with a bungee cord.

He scoffed.Two bungee cords and

an anvil borrowed from the Museum of Appalachia.

He pawned the anvil and ate the bungee cords.

Desperate, I considered and discarded:

Dynamiting the drain (too noisy).

Marshmallows laced with strychnine (too many small dogs around).

A bazooka (I’d blow myself up).

Finally, I turned to the fountain of all knowledge, the Web, and that’s where I found “Rocky’s Righteous Raccoon Trap” (patent pending), guaranteed to snare and hold the feisti-est raccoon or your money cheerfully refunded.

A few minutes ago I baited the trap. If all goes well, tomorrow he’ll be on his way to join other emo-tionally unstable wildlife.

He may even like Eighty Four.

of family restaurants – an-nounced as a candidate and gave Democrats a reason to hope.

But not a reason to stay home in the primary.

They shouldn’t give up the notion of crossing over and voting in the GOP pri-mary since Siler is unop-posed and will do just fi ne. What they need to do is get over there and vote for Campfi eld.

The district strongly fa-vors Republicans, and Siler will have a tough battle in the November election. But her path will be easier against Campfi eld than against Dr. Col. Commis-sioner Briggs. Really, this should be a no-brainer. Meanwhile, Briggs must walk a careful line, attract-ing as many Republicans as possible while taking care not to offend others who may want to visit, just for Election Day.

And for many 7th senato-rial district voters, there’s

another reason to cross over. Incumbent 13th Dis-trict House member, Rep. Gloria Johnson, targeted by Republicans, is running un-opposed. Her district over-laps Campfi eld’s, and her general-election opponent will be the winner of a GOP primary slugfest between newcomers Jason Emert and Eddie Smith. Johnson supporters should vote for the heavily funded Emert, who has demonstrated a knack for shooting himself in the butt and has no track record in the district, which he appears to have moved into in 2013.

Smith, on the other hand, grew up in the Alice Bell community and has a strong campaign partner in his wife, former Miss Ten-nessee Lanna Keck. If he survives the primary, he will be a more formidable opponent for Johnson than Emert would be.

This math isn’t hard to do.

Donnie Tyndall generat-ed so much excitement with his remarkable recruiting roundup, a spur-of-the-mo-ment thing, that basketball is suddenly a summer sport.

Basketball enthusiasm isn’t brand new

People who didn’t know there was a Rocky Top League are now asking about rosters and schedules. Youngsters wonder if there has ever been anything like this outburst of enthusiasm.

Well, the answer is yes,

Tennessee has, on occasion, done well enough in bas-kets that fans paid to attend post-season celebrations. Those were fun times.

With the almost total changing of the guards (and forwards), March seems long ago and already has been reclassifi ed as the good, old days. Before that, Bruce Pearl pumped the Vols up to No. 1 in the country for a few minutes and, once upon a time, fell one basket short of the Final Four. That would have been a fi rst.

The Jerry Green era still confuses me, but I remem-ber highlights. In the year of our Lord 2000, the Vols won 20 of their fi rst 23 games, racked up 26 in all and made it to the Sweet 16.

That was when Vincent Yar-brough and Tony White lit up the town.

The year before was good, too. Tennessee defeat-ed Kentucky at Rupp Arena for the fi rst time in 20 years.

Don DeVoe directed memorable accomplish-ments in 1978-79. His Vols whipped Kentucky three times and won the rejuve-nated SEC tournament, in mothballs for 27 seasons. That team (Reggie Johnson, Terry Crosby, Gary Carter and friends) recorded Ten-nessee’s fi rst NCAA tourna-ment triumph.

There was some excite-ment in Ray Mears’ 15 years. His teams never fi n-ished worse than third in the SEC. Unforgettable was

the three-overtime victory at Mississippi State for the 1967 SEC title. That was Ron Widby, Tom Boerwin-kle, Tom Hendrix, Bill Jus-tus and Billy Hann.

If you missed Mears, you missed a treat. A smaller-college national champion-ship at Wittenberg was his springboard to Tennessee. Sports Illustrated featured the team pre-game meal of green JELL-O and oatmeal cookies and mentioned the deliberate offense, matchup zone and player discipline. Nobody in Knoxville no-ticed.

Mears was invited in un-der cover of darkness and grabbed the UT job offer without even asking what his salary would be. He was

otherwise very smart. He switched to orange JELL-O.

In addition to compel-ling basketball, this coach offered a bag of sideshow tricks, runner-up to the Greatest Show on Earth – Globetrotter warmups, John Paschal wrestling a bear, Roger Peltz riding a unicycle while juggling three balls.

The carnival pitchman was a front. Mears was a crafty, calculating, fi ercely competitive fi ghter. He was too forthright to be a good recruiter, but he did a lot with what he got. Mears as-sociate Stu Aberdeen signed Ernie Grunfeld and Bernard King, and they created the best of times.

The Mears team that took shape 50 years ago was very interesting. It won the fi rst seven games, took two of three at the Far West Classic,

lost at Vanderbilt and won 10 in a row. The trip to Alabama interrupted the fun. Ken-tucky won by one in Lexing-ton, and Florida was a two-point victor in Gainesville.

Those Vols – captain A.W. Davis, Widby, How-ard Bayne, Larry McIn-tosh, Austin “Red” Robbins and some other really good guys – fi nished 20-5, but there was no place to go, no conference tournament, no NCAA opportunity. They fi nished 12-4 in the SEC. Only champions qualifi ed.

It would be a warm, fuzzy gesture if Tennessee brought back that group for a 50th reunion. Old fans could say thanks one more time to A.W. The now gen-eration might discover Vol basketball excitement isn’t a totally new phenomenon. Marvin West invites reader reaction. His

address is westwest6@netzero.com.

Sunday afternoons offer a selection of cultural, edu-cational and entertainment opportunities that would have been beyond my imag-ination 60 years ago. Typi-cally, after church we often join friends for lunch at one of the many fi ne restaurants in our area.

After lunch, we can choose a round of golf with friends or perhaps a mati-nee cultural event like a Clarence Brown Theatre presentation or a Knoxville Opera Company perfor-mance. And of course, there are always good cinemas playing or interesting sports events on TV. One of my fa-vorite Sunday afternoon pastimes is visiting area museums. And with the di-verse shops we now have in our area, it’s easy to enter-tain yourself by just brows-ing through them in search of that one item you’ve been wanting for some time.

On a Sunday afternoon

But on a Sunday after-noon 60 years ago in old Concord, life was more structured in that you did about the same thing every Sunday.

First, having dinner (lunch) out after church was not something you did be-cause there were no restau-rants. There was a chicken restaurant (Dender’s Tender Chicken) at Dixie Lee Junc-tion, and the Duisen family ran a country-style restau-rant where the old Court Café was located. But there was no local restaurant in the Concord-Farragut area. And of course, fast food establishments were still years in the future.

So, part of getting ready to go to church was to have dinner (lunch) partially pre-pared the night before, and that included catching the chicken. We generally had fried chicken and occasion-ally pork chops or baked ham for Sunday dinner. But my mother could fry chicken in a way that would put the Colonel to shame. In fact, if the Colonel could have fried chicken as good as my mother’s, he would have been a general.

As for golf after church, we barely knew that such a game existed. There were no television programs that featured golf, and for that matter there weren’t many television sets. But croquet was a favorite pastime, and several families regularly sponsored croquet matches on Sunday afternoon.

I usually participated in one sponsored by the Alder Thompson family who lived directly across the street.

Mr. Thompson kept his lawn well manicured to en-sure the best possible play-ing conditions. Competition was fi erce. And knocking another player’s ball away could become both emo-tional and personal.

On a given Sunday, there could be 10-12 people par-ticipating, but only six played while the others watched and cheered their favorite. Someone always brought refreshments, usu-ally fresh-squeezed lemon-ade or iced tea.

Performing arts were plays conducted at Farra-gut High School. These in-cluded productions by stu-dents and local play groups. Churches hosted music recitals and the occasional visiting choir.

It made no difference which of the three churches sponsored the event, the other two announced it during Sunday service and most everyone attended. In fact, denomination didn’t make much difference ei-ther, and for 43 years, the

Methodist and Presbyterian churches held both services and Sunday school together.

And browsing through antique shops, book stores and museums was never an option. First, no stores were open on Sunday, and those that were open usu-ally became the subject of a sermon. An example was the Lakeland Service Cen-ter at the corner of Concord Road and Front Street. Not only did that establishment stay open, but it also sold beer, and the combination of those two indiscretions always made good subject matter for Sunday sermons.

Ironically, Concord Swim-ming Pool and Concord Ma-rina were always open on Sunday, but without much criticism. That’s probably be-cause almost everyone in old Concord owned a boat or at least had access to one, and since boating and swimming had broad involvement, it was considered to be accept-able entertainment.

Another Sunday after-noon pastime was visiting

relatives. Not much hap-pened. We generally sat on the front porch and talk-ed, and my mother would serve dessert. Visits were seldom impromptu, and when someone was coming, mother always fi xed enough food for dinner to ensure we had enough left over for supper.

So, refl ecting on past and present Sunday afternoons, the most amazing thing is that so much change in thought, attitudes and en-tertainment has occurred in such a relatively short pe-riod of time. But I presume life in old Concord was very similar to life in other rural areas in the South 60 years ago. Life was simple then, and modern conveniences we often take for granted had yet to be discovered.

And if I were asked to choose between the present and half a century ago, it would be a hard choice. Cer-tainly, I enjoy the present, but I also enjoyed the past.This is a previously published column

I have said before in this space that sometimes I am in the slow group.

I was fi rst taken to church when I was 2 weeks old. I have been a Christian since I was 10 years old. I have been an ordained minister for 17 years.

And still, the Bible can surprise me.

Jesus’ commandment, af-ter breaking the bread and announcing to his stunned disciples that “This is my body broken for you,” was essentially “Remember me.”

As many times as I have read those words, as many times as I have heard those words spoken in services of Holy Communion, I never once “got it.”

Re-member is the oppo-site of dismember! A broken body is one that needs to be re-membered, as in “put back together.”

Jesus said, “Do this to remember me.” Just as this bread is broken for you, I am going to be broken for you. I will need you to put me back together because the world needs me!

That was a command-ment, not just for Jesus’ 12 disciples, but for us as well. All of us who claim Jesus as Lord, all of us who claim to be disciples are called – no, commanded – to re-mem-ber, as well as to remember, Jesus!

And what, you ask, does that entail?

It involves healing: the hurts of the world, the in-juries of the innocent, the plight of the downtrodden, the hunger of the poor, the loss of the orphaned, the

For I received from the Lord what I also handed on to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took a loaf of bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body that is [broken] for you. Do this in remembrance of me.”

(I Corinthians 11: 23-24 NRSV)

Re-membered

tiredness of the weary, the sinfulness of the sinner.

We are guilty of tearing apart the body of Christ – as guilty as if we had driven the nails into his hands and feet.

We are guilty of ignoring the homeless, the dying, the foreigner, the despairing.

Truth be told, we are all among the walking wound-ed, and until we fall on our knees before the nail-scarred hands and seek our own healing, we will not be whole.

And in order to be re-member-ers, we must be healed.

Then and only then, will we be able to begin the heal-ing of the wounds of Christ’s Body – the Church.

When we can learn that all of us who call ourselves Christians belong to the same Lord, and begin to live as brothers and sisters in Christ, we will be on our way.

We can join hands with Christians everywhere, put aside our denominational differences and work to-gether to the glory of God and for the sake of our Lord, for the easing of pain, the healing of the world, the end of strife, and for the re-membering of the Body of Christ!

VBS focuses onGod the shepherd

By Ruth WhiteCentral Baptist Church of

Fountain City hosted Vaca-tion Bible School around the theme: “Have u herd? God is speaking to you.”

The VBS was based on John 10:27, which states, “Jesus said, ‘My sheep hear my voice. I know them and they follow me.’ ” Dur-ing games, art, music and missions, the participants

learned that Jesus is a shep-herd who leads, loves, cares, provides and listens.

During the week, chil-dren were able to learn about God’s love and help-ing others. An offering was collected each day, and on the final day, VBS participants decided how the money would be used to show the love of God to others.

Shopper intern Joshua Mode stirs apple butter during a

visit to the Union County Masonic Lodge to meet the Apple

Butter Brothers.

By Joshua ModeFor our fi rst day at

Shopper-News, the interns traveled to Maynardville where Gene Patterson was interviewing the Apple But-ter Boys to learn how they make their delicious treat. They were very humble, saying each jar of apple but-ter sold, supports a pair of new shoes for local kids.

Patterson talks to and

befriends everyone before they even start recording. The camera operator fi xes the lighting to be ideal for the area and then the pro-cess begins.

They get multiple shots of every scene and step to make sure it turns out per-fect. They take each shot “step by step,” said Gene. He watched along and stud-ied the subject so when it

came to the interview he had some great questions to ask and great ideas for cam-era shots.

Afterward, Gene was willing to answer some of our questions and was very positive and excited about his job and our enthusiasm to learn.

The trip was a great and unique experience that I will never forget.

Gene Patterson:a great guy

By Donna MitchellThose who watch WATE,

6 news, are no doubt famil-iar with the polished anchor Gene Patterson; however, the Shopper-News interns now know him as the “guy that stuck hot apple butter in his mouth.”

Either way, Gene Patter-son’s still a great guy.

He began his career as an editor for his high school newspaper, and then moved on to being a bartender to put himself through college. Patterson says he never re-ally knew how he became interested in journalism, “it was just obvious where I be-longed,” and as sure as the sun rises he’s been doing it ever since.

The interns joined Pat-terson as he interviewed the men behind some pretty amazing apple butter (if I do say so myself).

Throughout the process, Patterson moved about skillfully, but he still treated it as if he were covering his fi rst news story. The man-ner in which he questioned the men as well as our in-tern group showed an al-most unreal, genuine sense of kindness and warm in-

quisitiveness you can hardly fi nd anymore.

He described the process as “kind of like making sau-sage.” What happens behind the camera is all protocol for the fi nished product. Al-though the work is tedious – from shooting clip-by-clip footage, trying to get the right angle, or fi ghting to get some good lighting – there’s always enough room for the warm belly laugh of Gene Patterson and all who have the opportunity of be-ing around him.

Aside from his career in journalism he worked brief-ly in government (deputy to Mayor Victor Ashe), but realized where he belonged and quickly got back to it. He told us that “it’s not about the money, it’s about the satisfaction.” That’s what’s key to your career.

Having a career as a jour-nalist has awarded him the experience of meeting great people with great stories and engaging in situations that wouldn’t have been possible otherwise.

Patterson declared the best part about his job is that “you never know what tomorrow may bring.”

By Zoe RisleyFrom New York to Knox-

A native of Rochester, New York, Mayshark made his journalism debut at age 8 with the “Teddy Bear Times,” a newspaper with a circula-tion of four comprised mostly

of comic strips and the occa-sional news story.

He worked on his high school newspaper as well as the paper at Pennsylvania State, where he earned his degree in journalism.

After college, he moved to Knoxville to pursue a job at Whittle Communica-tions, which unfortunately

By Julia Grant The Fountain City Lake

(just don’t call it the “Duck Pond”) has always had prob-lems with algae, but lately it’s been getting worse. As recently as fi ve years ago, the Fountain City Lions Club (lake and park manag-ers) poured chemicals into the lake to kill off the algae and other plant life. The Lions were ordered to stop because the chemicals were fl owing into First Creek.

Fountain City Lake has a variety of problems.

■ The lake has limited water circulation since the

redesign of the fountain. ■ A leak into the channel

on the Broadway side of the lake keeps the water level low.

■ The bottom of the lake has a mossy, clay-like liner with large rocks, which has been there for some time.

■ If the algae isn’t taken care of soon, the lake can-not sustain life because the algae will have taken all the oxygen out of the water.

Knoxville city gov-ernment has allocated $250,000 to design so-lutions and repair these problems. For the people of

Fountain City, that means a lot of bake sales that we don’t have to have.

The Sheriff’s Offi ce will provide labor of some re-sponsible inmates to help clean up the lake.

Jesse Mayshark and Eric Vreeland, who handle communications for Mayor Madeline Rogero, explained that to fi x these problems, workers may possibly scrap the bottom of the lake, fi x the leak and raise the water level.

The city will get started when the engineering de-sign is completed.

Cleaning up Fountain City Lake

Meet Jesse Mayshark

Intern Donna Mitchell looks at paintings from a recent show at the Fountain City Art Center.

From ‘Teddy Bear Times’ to the ‘New York Times’closed soon after Mayshark arrived. He worked at a dai-ly paper in Sevier County for a while before acquiring a position as education re-porter for the News Sentinel for two years.

He then became a report-er for Metro Pulse for fi ve years, covering a wide range of topics. Craving big city life, he moved back to New York, this time to Manhat-tan, for a job as copy editor for the “New York Times.” He relocated to Gainesville, Florida, after two years at the Times, when the need for copy editors declined.

He eventually found himself back in Knoxville with the Metro Pulse before becoming the communica-tions director for Mayor Madeline Rogero in 2011.

So whether he is handing copies of the “Teddy Bear Times” to family members, or navigating the back roads of Pigeon Forge, Jesse May-shark has always led a life of journalism.

Hallsdale-Powell Utility DistrictSeeks Applicants

For Nomination to its Board of Commissioners

Hallsdale-Powell Utility District (HPUD) is now accepting applications for possible nomination as a member of the HPUD Board of Commissioners. 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. Besides selecting the utility district’s president/chief executive offi ce, duties of the HPUD Board of Commissioners include attending all regular monthly meetings and, when called, special meetings of the HPUD Board of Commissioners, adopting an annual budget for the utility district’s operations, setting all rates for water and wastewater services provided by the utility district, and es-tablishing and approving all rules, regulations, policies and procedures necessary for the utility district’s operations. An HPUD Commissioner must also attend a minimum number of certifi ed training hours during his or her ap-pointed term as required by state law.

HPUD is one of Tennessee’s largest utility districts, which are treated as governmental entities under state law. HPUD serves water and wastewater service to over 29,075 custom-ers in the north Knox County area (including portions of Union County and Anderson County) with an operating budget in excess of $29.1 million for its most recent fi scal year and a current capital budget in excess of $12.8 million. To apply for possible nomination to the HPUD Board of Commissioners, you must be at least 25 years old and either an HPUD customer within the district’s boundaries or reside within the utility district’s boundaries.

Applications for possible nomination to the HPUD Board of Commissioners may be obtained at HPUD’s main offi ce at 3745 Cunningham Rd Knoxville, Tennessee 37918; by calling HPUD at 865-922-7547; on HPUD’s web site www.hpud.org; or by fax request at 865-922-8428.

Completed applications must be returned to HPUD’s main offi ce no later than 4:00 p.m. on Friday, June 27, 2014. EOE.

Kim Severance spoke briefl y about school board happenings and caught the PBPA up on the latest from the Powell Beautifi cation Committee.

“We hope to beautify the downtown areas around Emory Road to encourage continued traffi c in the area once the new road opens,” said Severance. “The Knox County mayor’s offi ce is on board and has promised as-sistance.”

“This is a great project,” said PBPA president Sage Kohler. “In many of these

areas anything we do willbe an improvement. MayorBurchett will be our speakerin August and we will havean opportunity to talk withhim about this.”

Charles Busler and PattiBounds were guest speakers.Busler won the primary andis unopposed for the 7th Dis-trict seat on County Com-mission, while Bounds is un-opposed for the 7th Districtseat on the school board.

“I plan to spend at leastone day each week in oneof the schools in Halls andPowell,” said Bounds.

“In Knox County we needto broaden our base rath-er than raise taxes,” saidBusler.

By Shannon CareyJohn Jones of Food City

and Tim Coggins of Kroger met at the Morrell Road Food City to launch the Red, White and Food statewide petition campaign to allow a referendum for wine sales in retail food stores on the Nov. 4 ballot.

The petitions will be avail-able in Food City, Kroger, Publix and Food Lion loca-tions on alternating dates and times. No digital signa-tures are allowed, and those signing the petition must be registered voters.

In eligible communities where the referendum pass-es, retail food stores will be able to sell wine beginning July 1, 2016.

“Customers have told us repeatedly that they want to be able to buy wine where they shop for food,” said Coggins.

The enabling legislation was a compromise between grocery stores and retail li-quor stores. It allows pack-age stores to sell beer and other items.

Veterans: Sen. Bob Corker was one of just three to vote against a bill to al-low military veterans to seek medical care from private doctors.

Sen. Lamar Alexander said he strongly backed the bill to let veterans go to ci-vilian doctors if they reside more than 40 miles from a VA hospital or clinic or have been waiting more than 30 days for an appointment. The bill also provided fund-ing for more VA health pro-viders. But Corker said the bill was “thrown together without any discussion (by the Senate) and would in-crease the defi cit by at least $35 billion.”

Student Loans: Corker voted for a bill sponsored by Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) to enable people to refi nance student loans at lower rates, while Alexan-der vote no, calling the bill a “political stunt.”

The bill would have been paid for with a minimum tax rate on those earning more than $1 million annu-ally, leaving Warren to de-clare: “This morning most Republicans said it was more important to protect the tax loopholes for billion-aires than to cut the rates on student loans.”

The vote was 56-38, but Warren needed 60 votes to shut off debate.

Corker voted right on vet-erans. The VA is a mess, but a seat-of-the-pants patch won’t fi x it. And Congress must stop spending money by increasing debt.

The student-loan vote is a tougher call. Borrowers should be able to refi nance at market interest rates, but most student loan borrow-ers are not creditworthy, and their loans are either from the government or federally guaranteed.

Talk about a budget-buster

if these loans go into default.With 40 million people

carrying $1.2 trillion in stu-dent-loan debt, it strikes me that we should be making these loans harder, not easi-er, to get.

Knoxville is well known as a destination for jazz fans. We’ve got world-class artists such as pianist Don-ald Brown and bassist Rusty Holloway, whom famed trumpeter and “Tonight Show” bandleader Doc Sev-erinsen has called “the best bass player in the country.”

We’ve got the UT School of Jazz and our own Knox-ville Jazz Festival. There’s no doubt that Knoxville is a jazz lover’s town, and there are many venues through-out the city where fans can whet their musical appe-tites.

Fueling thefuture of music

runs Lane Music in West Knoxville’s Franklin Square, wants you to know about one of the latest ones. He’s pleased to offer Lane’s new performance hall – a small, comfortable, well-lighted venue that seats 50 to 60 people.

On a recent Thursday eve-ning, the Knoxville Jazz Fes-tival Board Band provided an enjoyable, varied concert in the hall. The players – Tom Johnson on piano and soprano saxophone, Emily Mathis on piano and fl ute, Taylor Coker on standup bass, Will Boyd on saxo-phone and EWI (more about that later) and Keith Brown on drums – were clearly hav-ing a good time entertaining some 30 jazz fans.

Brown said of the space, “It has a nice room size. We play unamplifi ed bass and piano. The audience is in view, and they’re not talking.

“It’s reminiscent of the small rooms and clubs where jazz was born. This is the way it’s meant to be played.”

dience through many bal-lads and up-tempo songs. At one point, sax player Boyd introduced the EWI (“EE-wee,”) an acronym for “elec-tronic wind instrument.” Blown like a sax, with a similar key-fi ngering sys-tem, the instrument houses a synthesizer in its small body. It’s capable of produc-ing not only single notes but chords and effects such as slides, which Boyd incorpo-rated in a very musical and entertaining way.

Two of the players – Mathis and Johnson – took turns going back and forth from wind instruments to pi-ano. Coker, who just complet-ed nursing school, has been holding audiences in thrall with his stunning bass play-ing since he was a teenager. All in all, the fi ve were typical of Knoxville’s jazz communi-

ty’s “cream of the crop” – pol-ished, virtuosic and clearly in love with their art form.

“Each time you play jazz,” said Mathis, “it refreshes your spirit.”

Nelda Hill, founder and facilitator of the Knoxville Jazz Festival, sat nearby with a clipboard. She was constantly approached by enthusiasts who wanted to be on the festival’s email list. Obviously, they liked what they were hearing.

Thaemert, who is him-self a rock guitarist, was all smiles as he took photos of the players. Speaking of his decision to provide the per-formance space, he said, “Recitals and pianos go hand in hand, and since we are THE Kawai piano store in Knoxville, it was essential that we have a hall like this.”

He fi rmly believes that

music education is for the whole family, not just the child enrolled in music les-sons. “We wanted to keep the family environment. It’s so important. So our recital hall has an intimate vibe.

“The experience of live music is going to touch kids in some way. They may love it, they may even hate it, but it’s going to affect them strongly.”

Thaemert believes that such live performances are “fueling the future of mu-sic,” and he’s eager for mu-sicians of all types to take advantage of what he offers. He particularly wants to host classical chamber mu-sic performances in the hall.

Keith Brown sums up its appeal. “This,” he says, “is a very honest place to play.”Send story suggestions to news@

NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

Fort Sanders Regional and Thompson Cancer Survival Center provide the region’s most comprehensive cancer care. From diagnosis to treatment to rehabilitation, we offer care options not available anywhere else in our region. Working together to provide the best patient care - that’s Regional Excellence!

(865) 673-FORT (3678)

CENTER OF EXCELLENCE: ONCOLOGY

Brain tumors take many forms, cause diff ering outlooksThere are more than 120

types of brain tumors. A diagno-sis of any of them is very specific and individual to the patient. It’s also life-changing, life-threaten-ing and often a shock.

“Brain tumors can be insidi-ous,” said Dr. Paul Peterson, a n e u r o s u r -geon at Fort Sanders Re-gional Medi-cal Center. “ I n i t i a l l y , many people think their s y m p t o m s are a stroke. There can be h e a d a c h e s ,

and subtle personality changes can occur even before the head-aches occur.

“But unlike stroke symptoms, which are sudden, brain tumors can enlarge silently for a long time,” Peterson added.

Each year, an estimated 200,000 people are diagnosed in the United States with some type of brain tumor, according to research by the National Cancer Institute. Most tumors, about 160,000 of them, are spread from cancers in other parts of the body. These are called “met-astatic” tumors.

Cancers of the lung, breast, kidney and melanoma skin can-

Symptoms and treatment of brain tumors

Symptoms of brain tumors can be subtle at first, but they increase as the tumor grows larger.

“The symptoms of brain tu-mors are weakness; headache, especially one that’s worse in morning; nausea; and vomit-ing, if the tumor is big enough,” said Dr. Paul Peterson, neu-rosurgeon with Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center and Fort Sanders Neurosurgery and Spine.

There are four main types of treatment for brain tumors, and most patients receive a combi-nation of therapies, depending on their specific needs.

■ Surgery – The goal of surgery is to remove as much of the tumor as possible with-out damaging the surrounding brain tissue. At the very least, the surgeon will get a sample of the tumor for a biopsy, but in many cases the tumor can be removed. The biopsy reveals whether the tumor is cancerous or not.

■ Radiation therapy – Us-ing X-rays, gamma rays or pro-

ton beams, radiation therapy either is used to shrink tumors before surgery or as a follow up to surgery to get rid of any residual cancer cells left. Some types of radiation are used on non-cancerous tumors as well.

■ Chemotherapy – Medi-cations that kill cancer cells are often used after surgery to re-duce the chance the tumor will grow and spread.

■ Targeted therapy – New medicines being tested in clini-cal trials work differently than standard chemotherapy. In-stead of killing all cells, they target certain types of cells in an effort to stop tumors.

■ Watchful waiting – For slow-growing tumors, this ap-proach involves regular moni-toring of the tumor without ac-tively removing it.

Gamma Knife – a treatment optionFort Sanders Regional Medi-

cal Center and Thompson Cancer Survival Center work together to offer the latest in surgical and non-surgical brain tumor treatment options.

“Thompson is just across the street from Fort Sanders, so we work together for radiation treat-ment and chemotherapy,” said Dr. Paul Peterson, a neurosurgeon at Fort Sanders. “Plus, we treat with the Gamma Knife, we do biopsies

and brain tumor removal.”Fort Sanders has the region’s

only Leksell Gamma Knife Perfex-ion unit, the most advanced and widely used radiosurgery treat-ment in the world, which uses focused radiation to target can-cerous tumors precisely, without damaging nearby tissue.

This technology is most often used on metastatic brain tumors and to supplement traditional brain surgery or in cases where

traditional surgery is not possible. Other advantages to Gamma

Knife treatment include: ■ Typically the procedure is

done in a one-day session. ■ Gamma Knife is non-inva-

sive, minimizing surgical compli-cations.

■ Recovery time is minimal al-lowing patients to return to their normal activities and lifestyle.

■ Multiple sites can be treated during one session.

Paul Peterson, MD

Neurosurgery

cer are the most likely types of cancer to spread to the brain. Working with Thompson Cancer Survival Center, physicians at Fort Sanders use a combination of surgery, radiation and che-motherapy to treat metastatic tumors.

“We customize a treatment program for each patient,” said Peterson. “It just depends on what they need.”

A smaller portion of brain tumors, about 40,000 per year in the U.S., originate within the brain. These are called “prima-ry” tumors. Of those, less than half are cancerous, although they still may be life-threatening because the tumor presses on the brain.

“Not all brain tumors are cancerous,” explained Peterson. “But benign tumors still need to

be followed and may need to be removed because of pressure on the brain.”

After removal, most benign tumors do not grow back or spread further, but serial follow-up with a neurosurgeon may be needed to watch for potential recurrence. Under a microscope, benign tumor cells usually have distinct borders and almost a normal appearance, according

to the American Brain TumorAssociation.

“We do a CT scan and an MRIand these may provide goodclues, but sometimes you needa piece of the tumor before youknow it’s truly benign or cancer-ous. You can tell something’sgoing on but not the specificsabout what it is,” said Peterson.

“Some benign tumors areclassic looking, others we’re notsure. Sometimes tumors canlook benign but they turn out tobe metastatic cancer.”

A malignant primary tumoris one that is cancerous. Thesetend to be fast-growing andsend out tentacle-like tissueinto the rest of the brain, orshed cells that travel through-out the brain.

No one really knows whatcauses primary brain tumors,although excessive radiation ex-posure does increase the risk, asdo a few rare genetic conditions,according to the National Can-cer Institute.

“Some speculate head traumacan cause certain benign tumors,but how many times do you hityour head over a lifetime? Onething we can say is that there’sno association with cell phonesor living near power lines,” saidPeterson.

“Really the term is multifac-torial, because there is no onething associated with brain tu-mors,” he added.
