Friendship Force Knoxville celebrates
anniversaryBy Natalie Lester
As the news of Osama Bin Laden’s death circulated around the globe, a group of Knoxvillians celebrated 30 years of international travel. Before humorist Sam Venable began his sketch at Friendship Force Knox-ville’s 30th anniversary celebration in Maryville, he wondered what the world would have been like with a more widespread Friendship Force presence.
“Had more people bought into ideas like this organization we may have never had the twin tower in-cident, this war or the news of (Bin Laden’s) death the past few days,” Ve-nable said. “I would hope that efforts like yours would continue to provide rich fruit and bridge cultural gaps.”
Friendship Force is a nonprofi t organization that facilitates interna-tional exchanges all over the world. Members stay in a country’s Friend-ship Force residents’ homes and, in return, they host the families when
they come to America.Bill and Ruth Boys have been on
several trips through the years and always enjoyed being a guest in a foreign home.
“The best part about Friendship Force is staying in a native’s home instead of in a hotel,” Bill Boys said. “You are really immersed in the cul-ture that way instead of being a nor-mal tourist.”

other inductees. Stout lives in California and was un-able to attend. A special event will be held for them later this year.
Wayland and Esta Ar-nold also showed off the small memorial that will serve as a stand-in to the Veterans Memorial being prepared, which will honor Halls High students killed while serving in the mili-tary. Anyone who hasn’t yet reported a name to Da-vid Wayland can do so by calling him at 922-7615.
The stars of the night were the Class of ’61 on their golden anniversary. The Halls Jazz Band played while everybody ate din-ner. I got a hug from Mary Brewster.
Picture perfect Saturday night in Halls.
A big crowd packed the Halls Alum-ni Dinner in the Halls High cafete-ria on April 30. Classes were repre-sented from the 1940s up to 2010, the latter
in the form of Jordan Jef-ferson, the first recipient of the Alumni Scholarship. Jordan says he’s attending UT and should finish the semester with a 3.1 or 3.2 GPA.
Ruth Haynes, the school s e c r e t a r y from 1942 to 1982, got a standing o v a t i o n . She is the first in-ductee into the Halls High Alum-ni Wall of
Fame. Somebody said Mrs. Haynes loved her job so much she’d have done it for free. Former principal J.W. Phifer said Mrs. Haynes was the first person he was told to report to when he got the job in the mid-1960s.

Bragging rightsThis is not a profes-
sion known for ex-travagant fi nancial rewards. Most reporters do what they do simply because they couldn’t imagine doing anything else.
Nor do jour-nalists receive much respect from the public at large these days. We’re too far left or too far right; we fail to take a stand or we shouldn’t take a stand; we miss the big picture or we miss the crucial detail; or maybe we should just fold our tents and let the citizen journalists crowding the Web keep everyone informed.
Who are they kidding? We love the business despite the low pay, long hours and the critics. And when your work is considered worthy of recognition by your peers, well, that’s just a bonus.
On April 29 the East Tennessee Society of Professional Journalists held its annual Golden Press Card Awards banquet. Journalists from around the region submitted their work for review by a panel in Pittsburgh, Pa., and the Shopper-News acquitted itself admirably.
Taking home awards were (in alphabetical order):Personal Columns: ■ Honorable Mention, Shannon
Carey, for “Moms 101”Deadline Photography: ■ Honorable Mention,
Shannon Carey, for “Building the Future”Feature Writing: ■ Jake Mabe, Honorable Mention,
for “I’m Afraid the Town Is Gone”Page One Designs: ■ Award of Merit, Shopper-News
Graphics DepartmentEditorials: ■ Award of Excellence, Larry Van Guilder
While we’re in bragging mode, I’ll point out that this year’s haul was nothing out of the ordinary for our news-paper. The Shopper-News consistently garners recogni-tion for the work of its reporters, its compositors and its graphics professionals.
Always mindful that “pride goeth before a fall,” we’ll keep working to bring you award-winning coverage each week. In our features section today, Jake Mabe brings you the story of how four teachers changed a young man’s life nearly 50 years ago. In government and politics, read some federal cost-cutting suggestions from former Am-bassador Victor Ashe, then fi nd out why peanut butter and jelly sandwiches may become a forgotten delicacy at the local hoosegow.
As always, whether you live in Halls, Fountain City, Powell, Karns, Bearden or Farragut, we’ve got you covered in print and online at www.shoppernewsnow.com.Contact Larry Van Guilder at [email protected].

Scouts show their ■
stuff at CamporeeDon’t believe all the doom
and gloom about today’s youth being a bunch of hoo-ligans. I saw too many good things going on at the Great Smoky Mountain Council Echota District’s Camporee to believe that.
Area Scouts were set up in full force April 30 at Victor Ashe Park. They showed me how to put to-gether a catapult, how to tie a food bag high enough during a campout so ani-mals couldn’t get to it, how to keep my hammock dry in case of rain and how to use a compass to read a map.
“It’s a way to show the community that Scouts is the place for your boys,” says Echota District chair Al Collver. “They are learn-ing lifelong skills that will stay with them. These are our future leaders.”
‘Buddy’ hopes ■
to find a homePattye Elliott just
grinned when I asked her how she got involved in the East Tennessee Blood-hound Rescue.
“Oh, I love ’em,” Elliott said at the Halls Tractor Supply on April 30 while
walking “Buddy” around the parking lot. “We’ve been doing this for about four years,” she said, pointing to assistant director Heather Reagan. “It’s one of only four bloodhound rescues in the United States. We get them from as far away as Puerto Rico.”
Elliott says that the main requirement is that potential adopters have a fenced in yard. They must also fill out an application and pay an adoption fee. All dogs are spayed and neutered.

Campbell family says thank you
On Friday, April 29, our son, Lance Campbell, passed away. As with any parents, we loved our son dearly, but we did not fully realize what he really meant to all of those around him and the people that he touched. During this process, we have been overwhelmed and so deeply touched by all of the acts of love, concern and kind-ness from our family, neighbors, co-workers and friends, and when we say friends, we mean friends. We have felt and enjoyed your friendship for many years and hopefully will for many more to come. Your constant prayer and concern has been a great comfort. We send a special thank you to all the staff at Salem Baptist Church, our church family and especially our Adult 4 Sunday school class.
- Much love, Don and Suzi Campbell
By Valorie FisterAs the nation reacts to the
death of Osama Bin Laden, the terrorist leader respon-sible for the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the U.S., one lo-cal military family contin-ues to cope with the death – and celebrate the life – of U.S. Air Force Lt. Col. Frank D. Bryant Jr.
“I couldn’t comment on that, it’s diffi cult at this time,” Bryant’s sister, Amie Whitworth, said of the Bin Laden announcement. “I’m not going to go there.”
Bryant, 37, died April 27 at the Kabul International Airport, Afghanistan, of wounds suffered in gun-fi re when an Afghan mili-tary trainee opened fi re on Americans at the airport. Eight U.S. service members and one contractor were killed that day.
Bryant was a native of Karns and graduated from Karns High School. He was assigned to the 56th Opera-tions Group, Luke Air Force Base, Ariz., where he was described as “a member of our Luke family” there since August 2007 according to base offi cials.
He was well known in the military as a veteran F-16 pilot who taught others. And before his time in the mili-tary, he was well known in Karns for his love of wres-tling, his wit and his drive to accomplish his goals.
“We’re devastated by the loss of Lt. Col. Frank Bry-ant,” said Brigadier General Jerry D. Harris, 56th Fight-er Wing commander.
Harris described Bryant as an “excellent pilot, wing-
A life fi lled with honor

man and airman. He ex-celled in everything he did and gave his life defending the nation he served for 16 years.”
“He went on so many missions in the air, he was just teaching and leading,” Whitworth said, describing her brother as “pretty re-spected in the Air Force.”
“He was a senior offi cer there, and he won an award,” Whitworth said. “He was the top F-16 instructor in the Air Force last year.”
Whitworth, who now lives in Morristown, de-scribed the last week as a blur of media interviews and preparations for her brother’s military funeral. Due to Bryant’s high mili-tary profi le, national news
agencies in addition to lo-cal news outlets have called the family continuously re-questing interviews.
Whitworth said mem-bers of Bryant’s family, who still live in Knoxville, are traveling to the Arlington National Cemetery in Wash-ington, D.C., for burial ser-vices there.
But Bryant’s family and friends all over the country have found an outlet they can all plug into to share words of comfort – the Web.
“Have you gone to Lega-cy.com?” Whitworth asked, adding that a family friend told her about the website full of more than 20 differ-ent comments and memori-als dedicated to the fallen Air Force instructor.
“Thank you, Frank, for fi ghting for my freedom,” writes friend Jennifer Brock Callais of Maryville. “You are my hero! Sadly missed but happily remembered. Blessings to your sweet fam-ily during this time.”
Some notes are written to Bryant personally.
“LTC Bryant, I had the honor of meeting you after you arrived in Kabul, Af-ghanistan,” writes Larry Ziyad LeiBrock of Texas. “It was truly an honor to have met you. Your love of your country, life and your fam-ily was clearly apparent. I am honored to have served with you as a warrior here in Afghanistan, and my life is better for having known you.
“May you fi nd peace in knowing you have touched many lives in this war.”

Burchett budget cuts jail
In “The Outlaw Josey Wales,” Clint Eastwood uttered one of the more memorable cowboy fl ick lines of all time. Confronted by a bounty hunter out for Eastwood’s hide, the actor growled: “Dyin’ ain’t much of a livin’, boy.”

Line items for detectives, forensics, narcotics and the juvenile division have also increased.
These bolstered resourc-es naturally lead one to conclude that the sheriff an-ticipates more bad guys and gals to go after and nab, and if he’s successful the jail will be busier than ever housing miscreants.
Aye, and there’s the rub for those stupid enough or unfortunate enough to fi nd themselves taking an expense-paid vacation on the county’s dime. While stepped-up enforcement packs the jail to the rafters, the jail commissary ex-penses are budgeted to dropfrom $640,160 to $632,367.
Unless you grow your own beans and greens and maintain a herd of cattle and a catfi sh farm, you’re familiar with the ever-in-creasing pain in your wallet that comes with a trip to the grocery store. Nonetheless, the sheriff is pulling off a fi nancial miracle worthy of national attention, and the mayor and his staff have signed off on it.
secret. So we’re calling on them to do their duty and share with Congress, the U.S. Senate and President Barack Obama before the country tumbles into the fi scal abyss.
Has the sheriff hooked up with a cheap source of Chi-nese-produced Spam? Is he buying day-old bread in bulk from Walmart? Is he using former Mayor Mike Rags-dale’s Bosnia connections to import cut-rate Eastern Eu-ropean beef and pork?
It’s a tantalizing mystery.Until those at the top of
the county’s food chain re-veal their methods, a word of caution seems appropri-ate for those contemplating mischief in Knox County. Another famed law offi cer, none other than Deputy Barney Fife, put it this way:
“A man confi ned to pris-on is a man who has given up his liberty, his pursuit of happiness. No more carefree hours, no more doing what-ever you want, whenever you want. No more peanut but-ter and jelly sandwiches.”Contact: [email protected]
While the experience may fall short of dying, go-ing to jail in Knox County is going to become less of a “living” than ever accord-ing to Mayor Tim Burchett’s proposed FY 2012 budget.
The public safety compo-nent of the budget is grow-ing. “Patrols and cops” is up from $24.9 million to $25.3 million in the proposed budget. “Warrants” grows from $161,365 to $275,815.
As Congress looks at ways to cut federal expendi-tures, I know from personal experience at the State De-partment there are areas where savings could occur without jeopardizing the good and important work the State Department car-ries on daily.

Some areas to cut
As a post-9/11 reaction, State has pushed a mas-sive new embassy building program across the globe, placing embassies in ugly fortress-like buildings of-ten miles away from the city center.
While in nations such as Pakistan and Afghanistan such security measures are necessary, the “one size fi ts all” approach does not makes sense in Iceland, Slovenia, Poland or Malta.
In Poland, the Depart-ment’s building offi ce (known as OBO) is working now to spend more than $84 million for a new consulate to house 11 Americans to be located 10 miles from the city center. This works out to $8 million per American.
As Ambassador, I worked to halt or slow down this wasteful project. OBO has already spent more than $1.5 million over 10 years with site visits, studies and appraisals. Once I departed Poland, a new consulate went back into active con-sideration by State.
Congress and State should classify the nations we have diplomatic rela-tions with around the world in terms of security threats, just as the threat alert at our airports are classifi ed based on threat.
Less expensive and ar-chitecturally more pleasing
buildings make a statement about the U.S. which is posi-tive. Embassies which look like prisons or fortresses make a negative statement to the host nation. They are also terribly expensive.
The new embassy planned for London is estimated to cost more than $1 billion (yes, billion) dollars. It has a moat around it, something even the Queen does not have at Buckingham Palace. Congress could fail to fund this project.
Recently, State signed a 9-year lease for a new Am-bassadorial residence in Kingston, Jamaica, at the cost of $25,000 a month ($300,000 a year, or $2.7 million over 9 years) be-cause the current residence was an hour’s commute from the offi ce. The current residence is unoccupied now and not sold. It sits empty but furnished, waiting on who knows what.
Meanwhile, the leased res-idence may only be minutes from the offi ce, but it lacks the spacious grounds of the prior residence or its history with the Embassy. Now we have two residences for one ambassador in Jamaica. One questions how such fi nancial-ly foolish decisions get made. Where is the supervision?
This is not to suggest our personnel should not be protected in dangerous areas where security is vi-tal. They should be.
However, common sense needs to prevail along with safety. Money should be used wisely and in a way which makes a positive statement.
Embassies far outlast the ambassador of the day whose name will be forgot-ten after his or her depar-ture. We should showcase America’s best architects and best practices, and stop constructing buildings which convey fear, worry and trepidation.
Bill Owen didn’t mention a word about running for City Council, but he dropped some pretty serious clues about the direction his cam-paign is going to take when he spoke to the Council of West Knox County Hom-eowners last week.

Bill Owen previews his campaign
to return to Knoxville, start a lobbying business, remarry and generally rebuild his life. It was about this time that he met bandage mogul Pete DeBusk, founder of DeRoyal Medical Products. DeBusk was having some trouble get-ting Medicare to approve one of his products and needed some help. Owen was friends with Harold Ford Sr., who
chaired a House subcommit-tee and was able to give him that help.
Thus began a valuable relationship, and Owen has been lobbying for DeBusk-related interests ever since. He said the DeBusk con-nection has allowed him to meet people from all over the world, and he is espe-cially proud of work he has done in Kenya, where De-Royal (at Owen’s suggestion) sent production overruns of bandages and bedpans and other medical supplies. Owen fl ew to Nairobi, pre-sented the goods and took the opportunity to tour the city’s slums. He saw people living in unimaginable pov-erty who still had hope.
“What I saw were people who were energetic and en-thused about life. Instead of dejection, I saw people deter-mined to build a 21st century
society,” he said, launching into full campaign mode with talk about America still being the hope and inspira-tion of the world. Then he got to the part we’ll be hearing about this summer.
He wants to make Knox-ville the education capital of the state of Tennessee, or maybe even the country. He said that putting the Lincoln Memorial Univer-sity law school in downtown Knoxville was his idea (“My idea, Pete’s money”), and that he is working on a plan to put a boarding school for at-risk kids on the Knoxville College campus.
“I want to market Knox-ville as an educational cen-ter and an economic engine to drive us forward,” he said, ending up with a good line about “faith in the future, faith in education and faith in America.”
At fi rst blush, talking to a group of homeowners who (mostly) live outside the city limits might seem an odd way for a candidate to spend his time, but Owen used to represent them when he was a state senator, so he was in familiar territory. And it gave him a friendly envi-ronment to test-drive some things that he’ll be talking about this summer.
His topic was “How to Build a 21st Century Soci-ety,” and he began by return-ing to a tough stretch in his life. He’d been defeated for re-election to the senate and gotten divorced. (He didn’t mention getting arrested for drunk driving – a charge he beat, twice, in two highly publicized trials. The evi-dence against him really was pretty weak, but that had to have been a major bummer. We’ll fi nd out in August if this little scandal has passed its expiration date).

Tailor has challenged her staff to be creative, to
use volun-teers effec-tively and to encour-age support from busi-nesses.
T h e r e will be no paid staff r e d u c t i o n
at the Halls Senior Cen-ter, even though the bud-get document shows a cut. That was a glitch in the budget software, said Mi-chael Grider, the county’s communications manager.
Halls and Farragut’s Frank Strang Center each will retain two full-time paid staff, a reduction of one at Strang, Tailor said.
She said the seniors themselves can make up the slack in staffing. “Se-niors in South Knoxville are handing the landscap-ing; many instructors work for free.
“This (budget) is posi-tive, and our staff will make it work. I’ll work in the centers myself and was in Halls last Thursday,” she said.
“We offer important programs and have be-tween five and 20 seniors sign up each week. We of-fer free services through our health partners, Cov-enant and Mercy. We are the Volunteer State, and we’ll make this work.”
Director calls proposal ‘absurd’
By Larry Van GuilderSince its founding in 1975,
the Beck Cultural Exchange Center on Dandridge Ave-nue has served as an artistic and historical draw for Afri-can Americans across East Tennessee. In the words of its current director, Avon Rollins, “Beck is a magnet that brings people into this community.”
That may change if Knox County’s contribution to the center remains at the level pro-posed by Mayor Tim Burchett in the FY 2012 budget. After receiving $150,000 from the county’s Hotel/Motel Fund last year, Beck is scheduled for a $12,000 donation in this year’s proposed budget, a 92 percent reduction.
Summing up the fi scal picture, Rollins fl atly states, “Beck will be forced to close,” unless additional funds can be raised.
The city of Knoxville has allocated $26,000 to the center in Mayor Daniel Brown’s proposed budget. Combined with the county’s $12,000, the total may be enough to cover the facility’s utility bill which, accord-ing to Rollins, approaches $36,000 annually.
Exclusive of a $1 million capital investment in 2005, Beck’s allotment from the county had been declining for several years.
In FY 2008 the center re-ceived about $400,000 from the Public Library Fund. The following year saw the source for Beck’s $225,000 funding shifted to the Hotel/Motel tax.
The center’s funding re-mained level for FY 2010, but was cut by 1/3 to $150,000 in last year’s budget. The pre-cipitous funding drop in the new budget proposal caught Rollins off-guard.
“We had no warning,” he said. “I didn’t know about this until (1st District Com-missioner) Sam McKenzie called me.”
Rollins emphasized that Beck is more than a cultural center. The afternoon pro-grams for children are always busy, he said.
Brown called Beck “a great resource, a very im-portant institution for all Knoxvillians. I want to em-phasize that.”
Acknowledging that this is a tough year for all non-profi t agencies, Brown could not commit to additional help from the city. Still, “I’m hoping to see it preserved,” he said.
Like Rollins, Robert Booker, a former City Coun-

Beck Center funding cutBurchett’s response:
“When I fi rst took offi ce, I charged my senior staff with fi nd-ing ways to save money. … None of the recipients of commu-nity grants or contractual funding were notifi ed of their funding level prior to the budget presentation, (and) … the budget before commission … is still subject to change.
“Specifi cally, the Beck Cultural Center has received millions of dollars in taxpayer funds over the past several years. Knox County taxpayers spent nearly $2 million on renovating their building, in addition to the hundreds of thousands of dollars that they were receiving through the community grants and the contractual funding process. (The current proposal) … brings Beck’s … funding in line with other historic homes and non-profi ts. … Continuing to give the Beck Center a six-fi gure taxpayer funding is not appropriate, especially when other non-profi ts are seeing their funding reduced or eliminated, and Knox County employees are being laid off.”
– Mayor Tim Burchett
cil member and state legisla-tor, has played a prominent role in the local civil rights movement.
“I wasn’t aware of how much it was,” Booker said of the cut in funding. “It bothers me. That is certainly drastic.”
Grant Rosenberg heads the county’s Community De-velopment department. This year was the fi rst time that all nonprofi ts were required to fi le grant applications with the county, including those like the Beck Center that were funded under “defi ned service contracts.”
Rosenberg’s responsibility ends with checking the appli-cations for legitimacy.
“We don’t evaluate the merits of any application,” Rosenberg said, noting that the mayor makes that call.
At-large Commissioner Ed Shouse said he had heard from “maybe six oth-er nonprofits” concerned about funding, as well as county employees “dis-gruntled about no raise.”Sandra

Mayor Tim Burchett met with citizens in all nine County Commission districts last week to dis-cuss his FY 2012 budget, a move unprecedented in the county’s history. Previous executives had their own style of budget presenta-tion: Tommy Schumpert liked to pull everyone into the small assembly room; Mike Ragsdale mimicked city mayors with a meal funded by donors and invi-tations to friends; Dwight Kessel just had Herb Acuff type it up and walk it over to the commission.
At Halls last week, just hours after his budget speech, Burchett faced the question on everyone’s mind when Roy Kruse asked: What about reduced services?
It was a fair question considering Burchett’s budget does not raise taxes, reduces 30-plus employees and cuts the operating bud-gets of most departments (outside of schools and law enforcement).
Burchett said services won’t be reduced as he’s asking his department heads to do more with less.
Taking that message to heart was Hemal Tailor, director of senior services.
“We absolutely will not cut services. (My staff) won’t allow that to happen,” said Tailor. “We’ve already been managing with less, for about 18 months now.” She said hours will not be reduced at the county’s senior centers, but some less-used programs may be tweaked.

“It’s a ‘tighten the belt’ budget,” Shouse said, adding that he did not feel comfort-able making recommenda-tions before public hearings on the budget begin.
Commission chair Mike Hammond was also non-committal.
“We’re going to encourage everybody to come and talk to us (at the public hearings),” Hammond said.
In response to a reporter’s question about the reduc-tion in Beck’s funding, Bur-chett said in part that, “Knox County taxpayers spent near-ly $2 million on renovating their building.”
With that much invested in the center, allowing it to close for lack of funds might not be the best use of taxpay-er funds. Rollins’ opinion is blunt: “This is absurd.”

Amid all this hyperbolic hogwash about teachers being the root of
all evil, don’t forget the impact an educator can have on a young mind. Remember, too, the awesome pow-er of acceptance. If you don’t believe me, ask Chad Edwards.
Chad made the nearly 1,000-mile journey from Texas to Tennessee on April 29 to reunite with his mates from the Halls High School Class of 1961. And he came to say thanks.
He will tell you that he was the smallest, scrawniest guy in the class. He says “teenager” is prob-ably a better description of him during his high school years be-cause, “I am not so sure I was a very good student.”
He isn’t even a Halls native. He moved here during his early high school years because his father be-came the pastor of what was then
called the Beaver Creek Church of the Brethren.
That “outsider” thing could have been a big deal, especially in a close-knit community circa the late 1950s. It is a credit to his classmates that it was not.
“We were close. We had a good time,” Chad says. “When I came here, I don’t recall anything nega-tive. These kids took me in just like I was one of ’em.”
And he became one of them. Drum major of the band his se-nior year. All-State Choir. Actor in school plays.
Following graduation, Chad spent part of the summer of ’61 as a student at UT. But he found it too big, too overwhelming. So, he enrolled as a music major at East Tennessee State University, but left after a year. He fi nally found
a home at Bridgewater College, lo-cated in what he calls “the smack dab middle of the Shenandoah Valley,” in Virginia.
“It was a good fi t. It was a small, church-affi liated liberal arts col-lege.”
He graduated in 1965 with a de-gree in music education and taught for a few years in public schools at Manassas and Richmond, Va. He topped off this part of his career as director of music and drama at John Marshall High School in Richmond.
Then Chad got the opportunity to become a faculty associate in choral music at Arizona State Uni-versity, to complete doctoral work and to study with renowned con-ductor Dr. Douglas McEwen.
It was an inauspicious start, though.

How four teachers
changed a life
“Going from the green hills of Virginia to the desert of Arizona was truly a physical and environmental shock. When I got to Phoenix, pull-ing a trailer with everything I had in it including a piano, I got out and thought I’d walked into the hinges of hell. It was 118 degrees. I hated it.
“But then winter came and I un-derstood why the snowbirds came here. I fell in love with Arizona.”
He moved to Tyler, Texas, in 1975 to become director of choral studies and professor of music at UT-Tyler. He became director of worship and music at Grace Pres-byterian Church in Houston in 1990 and then moved to Lovers Lane United Methodist Church in Dallas in 1998. Highlights includ-ed playing at Gov. Bill Clements’ inauguration in Austin.
“And it all happened,” he told his classmates at the reunion, “because of four people.”
Margaret Jenkins taught him “the skills, joy, beauty and discipline of the English language. What can be found in literature is beyond the scope of imagination. She opened the door into that world for me.”
Drama teacher Ruth Howe “pulled the curtain aside and al-lowed this scrawny teenager to step in front of the lights. I cannot tell you how many times her face has been ‘stage right’ as I conducted, directed and taught.”
Mildred Denton “knew how words and music could, and should, be wedded. I can still recall how she trained those of us who were pre-paring for region and/or all-state choir. In my ear I still hear her say, ‘The music carries the word, but you must know what the words mean so that the music has something worthwhile to say.’
“But the most important thing she taught me was … everyone was worth something and valued as a person. It is indeed the benchmark I
have endeavored to mirror. No mat-ter how hard we worked to achieve ensemble she never lost the sight of the human factor.”
B.K. Thompson “wanted the best and would settle for nothing less. He wanted me to see a world far beyond the high school. He shared his recordings with me. He took the time to show me conducting pat-terns and was the fi rst to say to me that you must show what you want with your hands, movement of the arm and look of the eye.”
Thompson took young Chad to performances of the Knoxville Symphony.
“He had me sit just behind him, so I could see and hear something much more intense, broader in musical scope and depth than anything I could ever have known in the band hall.
I have no idea why he took me. Did he see something I could not see? Perhaps. But good teachers always do.”
Chad says his only regret is that he never spoke to any of these teachers again after leaving East Tennessee.
“As they look over my shoulder from their eternal perch I hope they know how much I adored them and how profound their humanity, knowledge, skill and love of their in-dividual art impacted this mortal. If God has a human face and a human touch, they were it for me.”
Remember Chad’s story next time you hear some political wind-bag try to tell you that teachers are to blame for our nation’s woes.
I’ll remember, too, the group of classmates that surrounded and embraced Chad Edwards the min-ute he walked into Beaver Brook Country Club that Friday evening. You can’t underestimate the power of acceptance. Call Jake Mabe at 922-4136 or e-mail [email protected].
Now on that same day two of them were going to a vil-lage called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem, and talking with each other about all these things that had happened. While they were talking and discussing, Jesus himself came near and went with them, but their eyes were kept from recognizing him.
As they came near the village to which they were going, he walked ahead as if he were going on. But they urged him strongly, saying, “Stay with us, because it is almost evening and the day is now nearly over.” So he went in to stay with them. When he was at the table with them, he took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them. Then their eyes were opened, and they recognized him; and he vanished from their sight. (Luke 24: 13-16, 28-31 NRSV)

In the breakingof the bread
This is far and away my favorite post-Resurrection appearance of Jesus. (That is, unless I am reading and studying one of the other appearances, then that one is my favorite. They are all rich with meaning and sparse enough in detail to be fascinating!)
This was the lectionary text for the Third Sunday of Easter and I was sched-uled to preach. So this pas-sage has been incubating in my mind for weeks. In the course of that incubation, I have come to realize a few things and to draw a few conclusions.
First, it was, I think, Au-gustine who said, “There is no such thing as an alone Christian.” We need each other, the companionship, the correctives, the corrob-
oration of our fellow Chris-tians. Jesus did not appear to any of his followers alone, with the notable exception of Mary Magdalene at the tomb (and that is a column for another day). It is in our faith community, in a band of believers, that we are most apt to fi nd Jesus in our midst. In this story there were two of his followers to-gether when “Jesus himself came near and went with them.” (Luke 24: 15b)
Secondly, Jesus ex-plained himself and his ministry to them, in con-text. Beginning “with Mo-ses and all the prophets, he interpreted to them the things about himself in all the scriptures.” (24:27) Wouldn’t you love to have more detail about that ac-count of his life?
Thirdly, Jesus did not force himself on them. “He walked ahead as if he were going on.” (24:28a) He waited, politely, for an invi-tation. Even today, he does not intrude into our lives unless we invite him in.
But be warned: invite him in – open your heart to him – and he will move in and take over. Notice that even though he was a guest in that house, “When he was at the table with them, he took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them.” (24:30) He became the host in some-one else’s house.
It was not until he broke the bread that they recog-nized him. Why? What was it that had prevented their knowing him until that mo-ment? And what was it that suddenly revealed his iden-
tity to them?Years ago, when my
daughters were little girls, we had a series of video tapes of Bible stories told from the perspective of fi c-tional children who were at the fringes of the stories. In the episode of the Emmaus Road, there was a little servant girl in the house that Jesus was invited into. When he held up the bread and broke it, she was watch-ing, and she whispered to her mother, “His hands! Look at his hands!”
And there, in the hands holding the bread that for-ever after would become for us his body, were the scars the nails had left. “… (H)e had been made known to them (and to us) in the breaking of the bread.” (24:35b)

HALLS/FOUNTAIN CITY SHOPPER-NEWS • MAY 9, 2011 • A-7
Probably no Knoxvillian had more close friends among the infl uential “movers and shak-
ers” in downtown Knoxville than News Sentinel reporter Bob “Scoop” Cunningham. One of his friends was Chancellor A.E. Mitchell.
Mitchell told this story: “One day, covering the court-
house, Bob picked up a petition from the in-basket, not knowing it was a year old and had been pulled out of the fi les for me to use in a hearing. He phoned it in, and the fi rst thing I knew, it was published in the paper.”
The chancellor kidded him, “What kind of scoop is that, Bob?”
The nickname stuck.Robert Larrymore “Bob” Cun-
ningham was born on Feb. 25, 1893, in Cottontown, near Gallatin, Sum-ner County, Tenn. He was one of the three children of Thomas Garrett Cunningham, a farmer, and Marga-ret (Franklin) Cunningham.
Bob attended elementary school in Sumner County, then the Hawk-ins Preparatory School for Boys in Gallatin, about eight miles from his home. He then attended the Uni-versity of Tennessee in Knoxville for three years (circa 1912-1914) and later found himself in Camp Pike, Ark., training to participate in World War I. As with many military personnel during those years, he fell victim of the dreaded infl uenza epidemic and, therefore, never went overseas.
While he was a student at UT, he carried the newspaper and solicited subscriptions in neighboring towns.
When he returned to Knoxville in 1919 after the war, he was employed as a reporter for the Knoxville Sen-tinel, the predecessor of the News Sentinel. He became a lasting friend of Wiley L. Morgan, managing edi-tor of the Sentinel, who hired him.
Warner Ogden, then city editor, stated, “I showed Bob around the courthouse and some of the other beats. In no time he had made a lot of contacts and was even turning out ‘early copy’ for the next day’s paper.”
When the Sentinel became the News Sentinel in 1926, he was al-ready a veteran of the political and city hall beats and, at times, covered the state Legislature. He advanced to the position of city editor over a period of years.
While he was attending UT, Bob met fellow student Reba Gentry. Their courtship lasted through his military service and while Reba es-tablished her career as an elemen-tary school teacher. Once, when he was covering a school board meet-ing, some of the school offi cials decided to play a joke on him. Su-perintendent W.E. Miller was read-ing a list of names of teachers who were resigning for various reasons. Superintendent Miller said, “Reba Gentry, resigning to get married.” Bob jumped to his feet and said, “Why, that’s my girl!” On Dec. 29, 1923, they were married.
Although he was unassuming, Bob Cunningham was a student of the classics in both American and English literature. During the Civil War Centennial years (1961-1965), he used his long-term interest in
HISTORY AND MYSTERIES | Dr. Jim Tumblin
Robert “Bob” Cunningham (1893-1979). His career with the Knoxville News Sentinel lasted more than 49 years. Writing as a longtime resident of Fountain City, many of his col-umns discussed people, places and events connected with that suburb. Photo courtesy of Robert L. Cunningham Jr.

‘Scoop’ Remembering
Bob Cunningham
and extensive knowledge of Ameri-can history to write a series of arti-cles on the causes of the war. These excellent essays were considered by many to be among the best of the thousands of essays on the subject during those Centennial years. He was also well versed in the history of Fountain City and many of his columns discussed people, places and events connected with that sub-urb of Knoxville.
However, one piece of history stood out in his memory because of a story that he could not get. In 1923, not long after the death of President Warren Harding, a Sen-ate committee was investigating the Teapot Dome scandal. In a story making national headlines, Albert B. Fall, Harding’s Secretary of the Interior, was accused of accepting bribes from big oil company bar-ons who wanted to drill for oil in lands set aside for reserves for the U.S. Navy. One of those big oil bar-ons, E.L. Doheny, passed through Knoxville on the train en route to Washington to testify. When Do-heny emerged from the back of his private car, who should be standing by the tracks seeking an interview
but Bob Cunningham. Bob said later, “I asked him ev-
erything I could think of, but he wouldn’t answer anything. The next day, he spilled everything to the committee.”
(Another reporter, Knoxville-born John Y. Anderson [Central High School 1910], would later win the Pulitzer Prize for his series of stories on the scandal in the St. Louis Post Dispatch.)
Courtly, silver-haired Bob Cun-ningham, with his old-school man-ners and old-fashioned work ethic, could often be seen proceeding along Gay Street to the S&W Caf-eteria for lunch, while visiting with friends along the way pursuing an-other “scoop.” In his early days, he was often the last to leave the offi ce, still seeking late breaking news af-ter others had departed.
Even after his retirement in 1968 and after a 49-year newspaper ca-reer, he would visit the paper and sometimes would write a story on some subject that interested him. Eventually, it became diffi cult for him to fi nd one of the old manual typewriters he had always used and, unfortunately for his faithful
readers, his contributions ceased.
The Cunninghams and their son, Robert G. Cunningham (Central High, 1946, UT 1951), who became a stock broker in Chattanooga, lived on East Adair Drive (Adair Gar-dens) for many years.
Bob Cunningham, a member of the Central Methodist Church and former member of the church board, passed away on Feb. 1, 1979. He is interred at Greenwood Cemetery beside his wife of 56 years. The edi-tor of the Knoxville News Sentinel summed up “Scoop” Cunningham’s contributions in these words:
Occasionally in editorials we eulogize Knoxvillians who have died, leaving behind long lists of business, religious and civic ac-complishments for which they are remembered. Today our subject is one of our own former colleagues, Robert L. (Bob) Cunningham, 86, who died Thursday. Bob’s newspa-per career spanned 49 years before he retired from the News Sentinel in 1968 on his 77th birthday.
“Scoop” was truly a gentleman of the old school.
Every year about this time, before or after the NFL draft, some big-city journalist reviews the history of fi rst-round selections and presents a hot list of busts, failures, embarrass-ments and disappointments.
The names are the same. Quarter-back Ryan Leaf, Washington State superstar of the late 1990s, is nearly always No. 1. Maybe you remember that some scouts argued he was a better pro prospect than Peyton Manning. The San Diego Chargers gave blood to move up in the draft and get Ryan second. His record as a starter was 4-17. He threw 14 touch-down passes and 36 interceptions. He was a genuine bust.
Quarterback Art Schlichter, all-world at Ohio State, was all-awful with the Colts. Gamblers had his signing bonus by October of his rookie year. His career was 13 games, three TDs, 11 picks, arrests,
scandals, addiction, sadness, pity.So you don’t have to look it up,
yes, it was Schlichter who threw the interception that lost the 1978 Gator Bowl, triggered the sideline assault by coach Woody Hayes on a Clemson linebacker and led to the next-day dismissal of Daddy Buckeye.
Once upon a time, the Tampa Bay Bucs spent the fi rst draft choice on running back Ricky Bell of Southern Cal. Tony Dorsett was available. The Seattle Seahawks invested $11 mil-lion (when that was a lot) in Brian Bosworth, Oklahoma linebacker. He couldn’t cut it but he was decent in the movies.
First-round quarterback disap-pointments are plentiful – Tim Couch of Kentucky and the Cleve-land Browns, Akili Smith of Oregon and the Cincinnati Bengals, Alex Smith of Utah, the San Francisco 49ers and others.
TALES OF TENNESSEE | Marvin West
NFL surprises in both directions
Alas, Tennessee gets equal repre-sentation. Quarterback Heath Shul-er is listed among the NFL busts. He wasn’t quite that bad. Washington picked Heath third in the 1994 fi rst round and he got off to an awkward start after a bickering holdout. He had a decent rookie season, only three or four notches under expecta-tions.
Washingtonians said very unkind things about Shuler. They called him an unmitigated disaster. Exhibit A was those fi ve interceptions in a horrible loss to the Arizona Car-dinals. Legendary Redskin Sonny Jurgensen, loud as a broadcaster, helped destroy Shuler’s chances. Out of here with the handsome, famous, rich kid. Give us the common man, the unheralded and poorly paid Gus Frerotte. Better story. Management voted with Sonny.
Mel Kiper Jr., world’s greatest draft analyst (self-proclaimed), was a large help. He ranked Shuler among the all-time greatest fail-ures. Kiper never noticed injuries and other contributing factors.
Shuler was brave. He kept trying. He made little impact. He invested wisely. He serves in Congress. Pay is less. Hits are verbal.
First-round failures is a pile-on story. It is far more fun to recall suc-
cesses at the other end of the NFL spectrum. Bill Bates is my poster man among old Vols who shocked professional football. In the illustri-ous history of the Dallas Cowboys, no free agent achieved more or en-joyed such fan appeal. They voted him most popular player four years in a row.
Bill was snubbed 12 times each by every NFL team in the ’83 draft. Goofballs picked 335 players but not Bates. Not big enough. Too slow. He just couldn’t play at the next level. But he did, fi ercely on special teams, intimidating at safe-ty. Returners and receivers hated him.
John Madden, old coach turned TV analyst, told you all you need to know: “Bill Bates – boom! – should be in the Pro Bowl.”
There was another defi ning mo-ment. Dallas won in Detroit. Em-mitt Smith and Michael Irvin were honored with game balls. They gave them to Bill Bates.
J.J. McCleskey, wide receiver and defensive back at Tennessee (1989-92) really was too small for pro football. He was only 5-8. Of course he was undrafted. But he played eight seasons, Arizona and New Orleans.
Pat Ryan, reserve QB at Tennes-
see, was drafted in the 11th round by the New York Jets in 1977. He lasted 13 years. Nice paycheck and pension.
Reggie McKenzie, UT outside linebacker in 1984, was drafted in the 10th round by the Los Ange-les Raiders. He did very well. Twin brother Raleigh, Vol center, went in the 11th round to the Redskins. He did even better, 16 seasons, 184 starting lineups, two Super Bowls, administrative career with the Green Bay Packers.
Jabari Greer, good cornerback from Jackson, 2000-2003, broke up 33 passes and made 147 tackles for Tennessee. The two-day draft came and went but nobody mentioned Jabari Greer. He fi nally got a job with the Buffalo Bills. He advanced to the New Orleans Saints. They won Super Bowl XLIV. Jabari got a ring.
March 5, 2010, was Jabari Greer Day at South Side High in Jackson. Jabari is famous. He has his own website. In preparing for his eighth pro season, he sometimes tells oth-ers that how you start isn’t as impor-tant as how you fi nish.
The NFL is like that. Some start high and sink like a rock. Others go the other direction.Marvin West invites reader reaction. His address is [email protected].

By Betty BeanA couple of years ago Central
High School senior Justin Phillips was close to quitting school. He only had 6 ½ credits toward graduation and needed 27 ½. Then the light came on.
Central High to present spring concertThe Central High School band will present its spring concert 7
p.m. Thursday, May 12, in the auditorium. Admission is free. Both the concert band and the symphonic band received “Excellent” ratings at Concert Festival. Band member A.J. Grande will participate in the Tennessee Governor’s School for the Arts on the French horn and the Winterguard was promoted to the top performing class in the Caro-lina Indoor Performance Association (CIPA) circuit. Come and experi-ence the many talents of these students.

Central High School senior Zinyor Babiker was
nominated for a Turnaround award by ESL
teacher Byron Booker.
Central High School junior Darien Williams
and his dad, Willie Williams.
Central High School students honored at Turnaround Breakfasters for the tables as well as the gift certifi cates and coupons that were included in the gift bags each stu-dent received. Sponsors included Home Depot, Walmart, McDonald’s, Buddy’s Bar-b-q, Domino’s Pizza, Firehouse Subs, Target, Regal Enter-tainment Group, Salsarita’s, 3-Min-ute Magic, Froyoz, Out–on-a-Limb Nursery, Chick-fi l-A and Sonic.
Perhaps the most prized items in the gift bags were notes from the teachers who nominated the stu-dents.
Senior Kerry Slack found out that it was Trent who invited her to the breakfast. Her mother, Denise Slack, was thrilled.
“I think my kids can do anything they put their minds, to,” she said.
Another parent, Amy Reno, whose daughter Bobbie was there by Calfee’s invitation, said she was ex-tremely excited.
“I felt like screaming off the porch. It felt like I won the lottery,” she said.
Byron Booker came by to have breakfast with Zinyor, whose
“We’re so proud. He had us wor-ried for a little while. He struggled, but he started turning it around.”
These are just three of the Central High School students at the inaugu-ral Turnaround Breakfast, an invita-tion-only event that was thought up by graduation coach Nicole Calfee. The school had previously given a Turnaround Award to one member of the senior class, but this year Cal-fee suggested the breakfast as a way of honoring more than 30 students in all four grades who were nominat-ed by teachers and administrators as students who have made big changes in their academic status.
“They were having trouble for
whatever reason – could have been they weren’t coming to class or that they might have been in trouble – but whatever it was, they’ve turned their grades around in a variety of ways,” Calfee said.
Principal Danny Trent, who per-sonally nominated several students to the breakfast, said he very much appreciates Calfee’s efforts.
“This is very much her baby. She came up with this idea and has worked very hard to make it hap-pen,” he said.
Calfee not only got her colleagues to participate in the nomination pro-cess, but enlisted area businesses to donate food for the breakfast, fl ow-
guardian couldn’t make it to the breakfast.
“Zinyor’s a good kid who always brings a sense of humor, and now he’s taking a leadership role with his peers and is doing a really good job. When I saw ‘turnaround,’ I didn’t know anybody who deserved it any more than Zinyor.”
Central Bobcats
This year he’s on track to gradu-ate and was nominated for a Turn-around Award by two teachers – English teacher Erin Atchley and math teacher Rick Christian.
“I’m very happy and very proud of myself,” said Justin, who will be at-tending Roane State and studying to be a fi refi ghter.
Zinyor Babiker is going to join a semi-professional soccer team when he graduates, and has been offered a full-ride scholarship to Bryan Uni-versity. He says that fi ve years ago, nobody would have predicted he’d have that kind of success. He credits his teacher Byron Booker.
“He stuck with me all the way,” Zinyor said. “He’s been with me since I came to America, and even though I got kicked out of school one time, he came to my house and tried to teach me English.”
Willie Williams works second shift, but got up early to attend the Turnaround Breakfast with his son, junior Darien Williams. Wil-lie Williams said he wouldn’t have missed it.

Coach Cheri Duncan re-ports that the Halls High girls tennis team won the district May 2 and will compete in regionals as a team for the first time since 1996. They finished
the season with a 10-0 re-cord and are 33-1 over the past three years.
The boys fi nished 9-3 and third in the district, losing only to Oak Ridge, Hardin Valley and Catholic.
Girls tennis team wins district
The Halls High Concert Choir fi nished second in ra-zor-thin fashion at the Music in the Park competition based at Six Flags Over Georgia on Saturday, April 30. This is the concert choir’s sole out of state trip for the year.
The trip included a stop a Turner Field on Friday night (the Braves lost, in extra in-nings, to the Cardinals). Sat-urday’s competition was held in the morning at Chapel Hill High School. That afternoon,
the group of 41 students en-joyed Six Flags.
That night, they learned the results.
Music teacher Elizabeth Williams said that Halls scored a fi nal total of 178.5. The choir fi nished second. The score was closer than it appeared. But, Williams says the kids took it with poise.
The second thing you have to understand is that per-spective came during the trip home up I-75 North as the bus passed through tornado-ravaged Ringgold, Ga.
“Especially when they saw a Ruby Tuesday. All that was left of it was the brick front door. I told them, ‘These peo-ple have nothing now.’
“The bus got really silent.”

Real estate market takes a dip
After a sizable surge in activity in March, the local real estate market experienced a decline during the month of April. For the month that ended April 29, the Register of Deeds office pro-cessed 622 property sales in Knox County with an aggregate val-ue of about $124 mil-lion.
These figures rep-resented 27 fewer land transfers than those processed in March, and also indicated a drop in total sales rev-enue of around $18 million. Normally the market experiences a bounce during this time of year, and the April decline was un-usual, especially given the upswing that oc-curred in March.
There was also a noticeable drop off in mortgage loans and re-financing last month. The amount of money loaned against prop-erty fell significantly in April to about $178 million, compared to $263 million in March. Mortgage rates remain relatively low; however, new lend-ing regulations have made it more difficult for some consumers to borrow money.
The largest transfer of the month was the sale of a residential complex on Gallaher View Road. The prop-erty sold for $9.15 mil-lion. Another notable commercial transfer was a property locat-ed at 4831 E. Summit Circle, which sold for $4.6 million.
The data collected from April indicated a market performance well below that experi-enced in April of 2010 when there were 826 property transfers in Knox County.
Interestingly, the total value of property sold during the first four months of 2011 is running slightly ahead of the figures from 2010. From Jan-uary through April of last year, there was $444.45 million worth of land sold in Knox County. This year that same period has pro-duced sales of $444.53 million.

HALLS/FOUNTAIN CITY SHOPPER-NEWS • MAY 9, 2011 • A-17
By Wendy Smith
The early life of Gay Street’s 100 block was brought to light, literally, in 2009, when
the city repaired the underground support structure of the street that was raised in 1919 to carry traffi c over railroad tracks. But the recent history of that stretch of road is as intriguing as the era when the street was 15 feet lower.
East Tennessee natives Jim and Jo Mason moved to Knoxville from Florida in 1984. Jo rented a Kend-rick Place condominium on Locust Street as a birthday surprise for Jim, and the couple eventually bought the next-door unit. They’d discussed taking on an urban renovation proj-ect when their children were grown, so in 1987, they purchased a quarter of the Commerce Building at 124 Gay Street and drew up plans for the four-story space.
“When we told people we were moving to Gay Street, they laughed at us,” recalls Jo.
The Masons moved into their new home in 1989. There were no other residents, and few businesses, on the block. Harold’s Deli, a watch-repair shop, the Mill Agent Supply and a pawn shop were their only neighbors.
People were curious about the concept of downtown living. The Masons allowed City People, which had a handful of members at the time, to showcase their home on tours. The city of Knoxville also encouraged the couple to open their home.
They eventually gained a new neighbor and a life-long friend. Patti Smith was commuting from her 78-acre farm to her Old City business, P. Smith Signs, when she noticed a “For Sale” sign on another bay of the Commerce Building. She bought and renovated her loft apartment in 1993. Her friends had the same reaction as the Masons’ friends.
“Everybody thought I was nuts,” says Smith.
Her sons were grown and gone before she moved, and friends were worried about Smith living down-town alone. But she took the colorful block in stride.
“People used to say, ‘Aren’t you afraid?’ I’d say, ‘I don’t hear half as good as I used to, and don’t see half as good as I used to, and I’m only half as afraid as I should be.’”
Instead of being fearful, Smith became an outspoken advocate for the block. She still keeps a mega-phone beside her second-story win-dow that she’s used over the years to admonish public misbehavior, like people urinating on the sidewalk.
She teamed up with Jo Mason to police the block. After several inci-dents of vandalism from patrons of the Underground, a nearby bar, the two women began late-night cruises to videotape drunken shenanigans.
“I’d call her up and say, ‘Patti, are we going undercover tonight?’ We had a ball doing that,” laughs Mason. The bar was eventually shut down due to codes violations.
More recently, Smith and Mason focused their efforts on ridding the neighborhood of pet waste. Fed up with downtown residents who didn’t pick up after their pets, the so-called “pooper troopers” began marking piles with color-coded fl ags – a dif-ferent color for each day of the week.
“It was pretty, and it got every-one’s attention,” says Smith. A city ordinance was passed that allowed police to fi ne those who didn’t clean up after their pets, but few citations have been issued. She thinks the campaign will be her legacy.
The early 100 block residents gave the city a greater gift than poo-free sidewalks. They gave Knoxville a vision for the future.
The Masons remember the day they met a young David Dewhirst on the sidewalk and encouraged him to invest in downtown.
“We talked him into buying the building next to Harold’s,” recalls Jim Mason. “That’s was how he got his start in Knoxville.”
Harry’s Delicatessen opened May 5, at 131 South Gay
Street, site of longtime downtown eatery Harold’s
Deli. New owners, Ben and Amy Willis-Becker, have made the old deli new again, but
they’ve kept tradition alive, too. The completely renovated deli features counter stools and memorabilia from Harold’s. The pair live above the deli with their son, Harry, the new deli’s namesake.
Harry’s is billed as a classic Jewish-Italian deli, with all the homemade favorites on the menu. They’re also committed to buying locally. Stop by for breakfast or lunch Monday through Saturday and enjoy a bialy with smoked whitefi sh or a classic pastrami on rye. Info: www.harrysdelicatessen.com or 566-0732.

NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER
Big questions still surround endometriosis, according to OB/GYN Dr. Caroline Haney-Weaver of Fort Sanders Re-gional Medical Center. In fact, there’s not even concrete information about how many women ex-perience this chronic disease of the uterine lining.
“I’ve read statistics of 1 percent to 25 percent, and some articles that say 40 percent of women have it,” says Dr. Haney-Weaver. “I think people are just aware of endometriosis now.”
Genetic and environmental factors likely both play a part in the disease, in which the lining of the uterus migrates outside of it and into a wom-an’s pelvic area.
There are three theories about why that hap-pens, according to Dr. Haney-Weaver:
The first is called “retrograde menstruation,” which means the menstrual blood is thought to back up through the fallopian tubes into the pelvis.
A second theory is that endometrial cells get into a woman’s bloodstream and travel to other parts of the body.
A third theory says that embryonic cells have the potential to become anything, and some become endometrial cells outside the uterus, long before birth.
Some research shows that environmental factors may play a role in endometriosis, for example, exposure to dioxins, a toxic class of chem-icals produced by waste incineration, pesticides, paper bleaching and other industrial processes. These are known to induce endometriosis in mice.
“The bottom line is more research needs to be done,” says Dr. Haney-Weaver. “I think there are probably multiple factors about what makes some women predisposed to endometriosis. But there are still lots of questions about it.”
“Some people have no idea they have it until they can’t get pregnant.”
The misery and mystery of endometriosisPainful cramps, digestive prob-
lems, infertility – these are just a few of the painful effects of endo-metriosis, a chronic disease of the uterine lining.
“Endometriosis is where the tissues that normally line the in-side of the uterus grow outside
A robotic endometriosis procedure performed by Dr. Michael Fields was recently telecast from Fort Sanders Regional
to a national conference in Atlanta.
Fort Sanders hosts live endometriosis robotic surgery telecast
Hundreds of surgeons and ob-stetricians and gynecologists from around the globe recently witnessed a live endometriosis robotically-assisted surgery for endometriosis telecast from Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center in Knoxville. The surgery telecast was part of the World Symposium of Endometrio-sis (WSE) being held in Atlanta. The WSE is the largest international conference specializing in the diag-nosis and treatment of the common condition endometriosis.
Fort Sanders Women’s Special-ists’ Gynecological Obstetrician L. Michael Fields, M.D., performed an endometriosis resection (removing endometriosis) with the da Vinci surgical robotic system. Dr. Fields,
who was assisted during the sur-gery by Dr. Robert McKeown of Fort Sanders Regional, developed the robotic endometriosis procedural technique that was demonstrated for the WSE Conference attendees.
Endometriosis occurs when tis-sue similar to your endometrial lining grows outside the uterus. The tissue may grow on the sur-face of pelvic organs or in other ab-dominal areas. It can cause severe pain, bleeding and is one of the top three causes of female infertility. Endometriosis is one of the most common gynecological diseases, effecting more than 5.5 million American women.
Dr. Fields is a pioneer in using robotically-assisted surgery to treat
endometriosis. The benefits of ro-botic surgery include less pain and a quicker recovery. For endometrio-sis patients, the precise movements of the robotic system can also help preserve normal tissue and decrease the chance of future complications. The enhanced visualization of the 3-D viewing field allows the surgeon to better see the abnormal tissue.
Dr. Fields and Fort Sanders Re-gional Medical Center were selected to host the telecast because of their level of experience in robotic sur-gery technology. The hospital serves as an EpiCenter training facility for robotically-assisted procedures.

Are YOU at risk of endometriosis?

tility problems. But sometimes, endometriosis triggers no symp-toms at all.
“Some people have no idea they have it until they can’t get preg-nant,” says Dr. Haney-Weaver.
Diagnosing endometriosis requires a surgical procedure called laparoscopy, in which a small camera and surgical tools are inserted into a woman’s ab-domen, to look around and take a biopsy.
“A lot of gynecologists will di-agnosis endometriosis without a laparoscopy, but the gold stan-dard diagnosis is to do the sur-gery and biopsy,” says Dr. Haney-Weaver. “The good thing is: you can treat the endometriosis while you’re in there. That’s done ei-ther by excision, where you cut it out, or with a laser, where you can cauterize it.”
If infertility is an issue, lap-aroscopy is one of the most successful treatments to help a
woman with endometriosis get pregnant. “We like patients to try to get pregnant just after sur-gery, because it’s most success-ful then,” explains Dr. Haney-Weaver.
If a woman isn’t trying to get pregnant but needs pain relief, physicians often prescribe birth control pills to suppress her cycle. It’s a woman’s menstrual cycle that triggers the endo-metriosis to bleed internally. If birth control pills can’t suppress the pain, there are also several menopause-inducing hormonal therapies a woman can try for a few months.
Unfortunately, there is no cure of endometriosis as of yet. “We try to suppress it as long as we can with hormonal treatment. But it often comes back, and it’s not unusual for a woman to have four or five surgeries,” adds Dr. Haney-Weaver.
The goal is often to get a wom-
an to menopause, when the dis-ease subsides naturally. If that’s years away, a complete hysterec-tomy can relieve pain. “If a wom-an’s finished her reproductiveyears and still has a lot of pain,that’s what we’ll suggest,” says Dr. Haney-Weaver. Both ovaries and the uterus must be removed. “It’s rare for a woman to haveendometriosis if she’s had herovaries removed because they’re what trigger the cycles.”
Endometriosis it one of the leading causes for hysterecto-mies in the United States. “Defi-nitely, the earlier you get treated the better,” states Dr. Haney-Weaver. “With early treatment a woman is less likely to experience scar tissue in the fallopian tubes and therefore infertility.”

the uterus,” explains Dr. Caro-line Haney-Weaver, an OB/GYN at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center. “It’s a problem because when that tissue cycles and sheds (blood) outside the uterus, it can cause scar tissue to form between different organs, where scar tis-sue shouldn’t be.”
Endometrial tissue most commonly invades the fallopi-an tubes, ovaries or intestines, which is why it can trigger ab-dominal pain and is responsible for about 30 percent of all infer-

It’s been a tough few weeks.
If you read last week’s column, you know that we Careys have been dealing with a death in the family, tragic in itself but accom-panied by long stretches of uncertainty, absence of family members, frequent house guests and disruption of toddler schedules.
We’re also at a time in Daniel’s life when he’s test-ing his boundaries and our authority. I’ve made it a point so far to say yes to Daniel as much as possible, but there are times when the answer just has to be no. So, when I’m cooking dinner and Daniel wants to play outside, I say no, and he proceeds to repeat the re-quest until I’m ready to send him to be raised by wolves.
“Mommy, go outside?”“No, buddy. I’m cooking
dinner.”“Go outside, Mommy?”“Sorry, Daniel. I can’t. I’m
cooking dinner right now.”“Mommy! Go outside!”“I’ve already said no. I’m
cooking dinner.”“Go outside now?”And on and on. At some
point, Daniel will burst into tears and throw a tantrum. I’ll drop what I’m doing to comfort him, but as soon as he calms down, the de-mands start again. It’s a vi-cious cycle. And I’m afraid that Daniel thinks he can get his way with these melt-downs, like if he just begs and cries enough I’ll break down. It’s blackmail, and I won’t have it.

Lines in the sand
It’s also very hard not to lose my temper when he does this. I don’t care if you’re the Dalai Lama, when “Go outside” is chanted into your ear for the 30th time, the tension starts to rise. I raise my voice, and then I feel terrible.
In this time of crisis, the whining and tantrum thing has been happening more and more, most notably dur-ing the closing prayer of the family pastor’s bereavement visit. That episode began with a request to play with a noisy toy and ended with a screaming toddler being carried from the room.
I know this is normal for periods of upheaval, so I try to give the little guy some leeway. But, I won’t tolerate bossy behavior. I won’t give in when he gets like this. Not only does it undermine my authority, I’m afraid that it sets Daniel up to treat ev-eryone like this.
I’ve already seen it in his interactions with other kids. It’s his way or the highway, then he cries and nobody has fun anymore. That’s not a way to make friends. That’s not a good person to be.Contact Shannon Carey at shannon@

Mobile Meals needs helpMobile Meals currently serves hot, nutritious meals
to 850 seniors each day in Knoxville and Knox County. Government and United Way funding provide about 400 of those meals, while the other 450 are served through the generosity of the community.
Starting July 1, the program may have to cut back on the number of people it serves and put seniors on a wait-ing list to receive meals.
It only takes $17 a week to provide a Knox County senior with one hot meal a day (weekdays) through Mobile Meals. It costs $700 a week to keep a senior who is suf-fering from illnesses made worse by poor nutrition in a nursing home. Info: 524-2786.

: Is it normal when my gums sometimes bleed when Ifloss my teeth?
: Bleeding gums could mean you have gingivitis orperiodontitis. Gum disease can cause teeth to loosen,gumline cavities, or bone loss that could later lead toextractions and expensive tooth replacement procedures.Other symptoms of gum disease include continuous badbreath, red/swollen gums, tenderness, pain chewing, andreceding gums.
People usually don’t show signs of gum disease untilthey are in their 30s or 40s. Teenagers are more prone togingivitis - the milder form of gum disease. It’s importantto have your gums regularly examined for any signs ofinflammation, for gum disease is a very treatable condition.Our goal at Family Dentistry is to provide solutions thatoptimize your dental health!

May is Foster Care MonthChild and Family Tennessee would like to raise
awareness of May being Foster Care Month. Foster parents must be at least 21 years old, pass
background checks, be financially and emotionally stable, take foster care training classes and have a valid driver’s license and car insurance.
“You don’t have to be married, have other children, own a house or be rich. People tend to not foster as much during bad economic times, but the child’s food and clothing expenses are covered through a board payment,” said foster care parent recruiter Terrin Kanoa.
She said it is especially difficult to find foster homes for ages 10 and older and that there is a tremendous need for foster parents for teenagers.

About one million chil-dren every year are abused in the United States, and these are only the reported incidents. Many more are unreported and undetected, often because children are afraid to tell.
Approximately 1,000 to 1,300 U.S. children are known to die annually as a result of physical abuse, and those who survive suffer emo-tional trauma that lasts long after the bruises have healed. Yet there are other forms of abuse: neglect, sexual abuse and emotional abuse.
Although there are often physical signs of abuse, chil-dren who have been abused may behave differently. They may have nightmares or trouble sleeping. Their school performance may suddenly decline.
Other signs might include a
poor self-image; the inability to love or trust others; being aggressive or disruptive (be-ing a bully); acting out in the classroom; acting out sexu-ally; being self-destructive, self-abusive or suicidal; feel-ing passive, withdrawn, or de-pressed; or having diffi culty forming new relationships or using drugs or alcohol.
Abuse is not a private fam-ily matter, although it most often occurs within families and often every attempt is made to keep it secret. Once you suspect child abuse, you need to act to protect the child from further possible harm.
While not all suspicions and accusations turn out to be true, a child always de-serves to be heard, protect-ed, and helped.
If you suspect that a child is being abused, it’s your re-
Cutie looking for companion
Shopper-News adver-tising consultant Darlene Hacker rescued this pitiful little soul from the side of the road in Halls. Nothing is known about her except she’s timid and malnour-ished. She needs a thorough exam by a veterinarian, lots of love and a couple of cheeseburgers. Anyone interested should call our west offi ce at 218-9378 and speak to Sara.
Recognizing child abusesponsibility to contact the lo-cal child protective services agency, police, hospital or emergency hotline. If neces-sary, you may remain anon-ymous. The child’s safety is the immediate issue.
If you have abused your own child or think that you might, talk with a trusted adult immediately.
Also, children should know about the different kinds of abuse and how to spot it. The is-sue is helping children correctly identify what adults can and can’t do, what’s OK and what is not OK, and helping children know who they can talk with once something hap-pens. Info: Visit Chil-dren’s Hospital’s web site, www.etch.com, or call 541-8165.
