South Knoxville schools, board member Amber Rountree wants answers. She also wants equity.

Rountree has asked Superinten-dent James McIntyre for a side-by-

side comparison of class offerings at South Doyle Middle School and Bearden Middle School.

“Our kids in South Knoxville deserve equal cur-riculum opportu-nities,” she said.

A brave sixth-grader spoke on behalf of students and teachers at last week’s school board meeting in response to proposed class cuts at South-Doyle Middle School for the upcoming school year

“All these classes that have been cut are classes that children look forward to during the school day,” she said. “What does this mean for the teachers who taught these classes? These beloved teachers

have lost their job. Why? Because of the budget, or test scores? Have other middle schools lost their Spanish, keyboarding, music, PE, AVID, focus block, jazz band and singing groups?”

She said that students “were crying or screaming from anger and surprise” when they heard the news.

Meanwhile, at Mt. Olive El-ementary School, parents are repeating last year’s complaints about principal Paula Brown. This year, 113 parents and relatives have signed a petition demand-ing Brown’s removal. The petition says that the school has lost “a number of great teachers” because of Brown’s actions, and that par-ents are tired of having their com-plaints ignored.

“How many great teachers do we have to lose before someone steps up and makes a leadership change? Our parents are unhappy, and our children are suffering while our teachers are being bullied. We stand together as parents and as a community in asking for the im-

mediate removal of the principal at Mount Olive Elementary School.”

South-Doyle High School has been under interim leadership since principal Tim Berry and assistant principal/head football coach/athletic director Clark Dun-can were placed on administrative leave Feb. 8. They are suspended with pay pending an investigation by the Knox County District Attor-ney General.

Rountree says these high-pro-fi le problems are overshadow-ing the good things happening in South Knox schools. She can’t comment on the high school situ-ation, and expressed sympathy for the Mt. Olive parents “who are frustrated by a lack of communica-tion” with the principal and Knox County Schools administration.

“These parents came to a board meeting this time last year (with the same complaints). As a board member, I don’t make staffi ng de-cisions, but I do pass on what folks share with me.”

Rountree has had plenty to say about the impending changes at

Rountree

South schools: Turmoil spreads as Rountree seeks answersthe middle school, though, and in an email she sent to McIntyre the day after the board meeting, she makes it clear that she is not happy with SDMS principal Taiwo Sut-ton’s decisions nor with how he is communicating with parents.

In an April 6 email to parents, Sutton downplayed the changes, which he described as adjustments in class sizes and “minor staffi ng and programmatic changes” that won’t impact student schedules or related arts classes.

Rountree told McIntyre she is “appalled at the administra-tion willfully painting an inaccu-rate and incomplete picture of the ‘minor staffi ng and programmatic changes’ at SDMS to students and parents. Furthermore, I fi nd these curriculum changes unaccept-able. These changes will not ben-efi t the students.

“As you heard yesterday, stu-dents are passionate about these classes and without them many of them will lose interest in school.

project of the Halls Business and Professional Association to defi ne community goals and match re-sources to reach those goals. Carl Tindell, president of the HPBA, will lead the project, assisted by the HPBA board of directors and this newspaper.

“Road construction, vacant retail spaces and the upcoming departure of Regal Entertain-ment are problems,” Tindell said. “We need patience with TDOT on the Hwy. 33 project and a plan to stabilize and grow our retail in Halls.”

A broader goal is to create ex-citement in Halls by providing shopping and entertainment op-tions without driving across town. Every opinion is important.

The board of HBPA will adopt the plan at its May meeting, noon Tuesday, May 3, at the Halls Se-nior Center.

Meanwhile, during April, we want to hear from you. Email or phone any board member: Sandy Cates, David Buckner, Joe Pratt, Travis Woody, Bob Crye, Michelle Wilson, Pam Johnson, Robert Hubbs, Ernie Joyner, Sue Walker or Denise Girard.

HBPA to set goals for Halls Ahead

Knox County Sheriff’s Offi ce.“I found that anytime we are

allowed to focus to one small geographical area it allows prob-lem solving and relationships to be built between business, city services and people who live and work in the area. I think we need this type of glue for Halls. Maybe something like a Halls Business Improvement District?

“In downtown my fi rst order of business was to drive every street and make an assessment of safety, security, cleanliness and to fi gure out ways to suppress opportuni-ties for a crime to occur. We ap-plied the Broken Windows Theory and considered how criminals feel comfortable committing a crime in an area where they feel nobody watches or maybe doesn’t care what is going on. Criminals some-times follow a routine and commit crimes in areas they are familiar and that look conducive for them to fi t in. So if it’s dark, dirty and

people are dumping loads of trash then the idea is you can do what you want.

“I made a list of the following: ■ all burned out street lights ■ dirty lots and trash ■ dark parking lots ■ broken car window glass in

lots and what part of the lots it was noted.

■ abandoned vehicles ■ homeless camps and viaduct

encampments ■ chronic locations for pan-

handling“The fi rst month we hauled

away probably 10 dump trucks of junk. Some of it shingles, build-ing materials, and wood dumped behind Big Don’s Elegant Junk on Willow St. in a vacant lot. We cleaned out old mattresses, rancid cloths, stolen purses, wallets and items from car burglaries from under bridges in the homeless camps. We had KUB add lights, fi x broken ones and worked on light-

ing dark lots with private owners.“Second Phase was to return

legitimate use to public space. We turned a homeless jungle at the corner of Central and Sum-mit Hill into a pet park for down-town residents to walk their pets and to return the area for legiti-mate use.

“The point was to reduce what we call ‘fear zones.’ These are places no visitor would want to go just on sight alone. Places dark or scary looking do not promote busi-ness or good feelings. We worked with Keep Knoxville Beautiful to do graffi ti abatement and to make it attractive for people to want to come downtown to the Old City or to see a movie. We worked with Helen Ross McNabb, Volunteer Ministries and KARM to get case-workers and places for our bridge dwellers to go. We also displaced some sex offenders who didn’t want to report their addresses and who were living up under some downtown bridges near World’s Fair Park.

“We obtained letters of ‘no tres-pass’ from business owners and served notice to criminals hang-ing out in their lots and property at night. First encounter a warn-ing. Second encounter after docu-mented warning was a charge of trespass. We worked with TDOT to block off access to under bridg-es and put no trespass signs up.

By Sandra ClarkDr. Bob Collier is a com-

munity treasure. And he’s pretty funny too.

For instance, he recently had surgery at the former St. Mary’s Medical Center. That’s where he wielded a scalpel as a general surgeon for a career and where, as they sing in “Cheers,” every-body knows his name.

So his surgeon is late and Dr. Collier is lying in pre-op in a groggy state when the word goes out. “It was like old home week,” he says, as his former co-workers dropped by to say hello. I can only imagine.

We’re eating lunch at The Front Porch when a new server from somewhere else (Wisconsin, we later

learned) commented on Dr. Collier’s signature mus-tache. “Why, that’s so cute,” she said. “Huh! She could have chosen another word,” he joked. “Like handsome or manly,” said Mark Campen. We all laughed.

We met twice with Dr. Collier last week. Only Campen got lunch.

As reported earlier, Dr.

Collier has put a conserva-tion easement on 14 acres on Emory Road, adjacent to the Powell branch library. The land was his grand-mother’s farm. It will be preserved as a natural area with bird feeders and sanc-tuary for native and migra-tory creatures under the ownership of Legacy Parks Foundation.

Creating access and a plan for the

dents Mark and Cindy Prote-au collect almost everything, but Cindy says they like to call themselves “selective hoarders.”

Together the couple has fi lled their home with an-tique items, some that could be considered museum qual-ity. Cindy favors her baby bottle collection while Mark loves old tools.

“If it’s old and related to Knoxville we buy it,” said Cindy. “Usually we are to-

gether and agree on what we buy, or sometimes we talk the other one out of it. Mark says I’m the bigger hoarder. He knows if I really want something I’m going to buy it.”

The couple met on a blind date 36 years ago.

“It was my fried chicken and my father’s old tools that told Mark I was the girl for him,” said Cindy.

Their collections include Buster Brown items, cast iron, vinyl LPs, Knoxville High School yearbooks,

Knoxville postcards (espe-cially of Chilhowee Park) and pictures of now-demol-ished Knoxville buildings.

A third generation Knox-ville girl, Cindy was raised with a love for collecting. Cindy inherited a few pieces of cast iron from her mother, and her father got her started on collecting small bottles.

Mark says he has always liked old things. He man-aged to save a few fi nds from his childhood in the woods of Connecticut, his home state.

The Proteaus have this advice for collectors and non-collectors alike:

“A lot of people don’t care about their history until they get older, and by then it can be too late to ask,” said Cindy. “Go through family photos and write the names on the back. It is so sad to see old pictures for sale or thrown away because people don’t know who is pictured.”

The two are cutting back on their collecting due to lack of space, but the couple agrees that it is all about the

The thrill of the hunt

Collier Preserve

On Tues-day, Scott M o o r e , our for-mer county c o m m i s -sioner who now over-sees work crews of county in-

mates, walked the land with Collier. He also met Justin Bailey at Powell Sta-tion Park and agreed to a bit more clearing there. His crews cleared the land for a Frisbee golf course last summer.

The Collier Preserve will have parking and a mowed entrance. But the land it-self will remain wild. The inmates will remove non-native, invasive species. And Dr. Collier will be on-site when they’re at work, making sure they leave the habitat. I offered to bring lunch – always a hit with the inmates.

Moore walked deep into the property to see two springs – clear water bub-bling up from the ground. That water fl ows into Beaver Creek, which forms the back property line. Doc Collier said the springs are the rea-son his grandmother’s ances-tors, the Moores, bought the farm. Her mules would walk farther to drink from the spring rather than the creek, even 50-60 years ago when the creek was clear.

Now TDOT has turned stormwater onto the land – run-off from the ridge be-hind Powell Church and the homes off Granville Conner Road. Erosion is impacting

the source of the springs and nearby land is littered with plas-tic bottles, a defl ated football and even an old tire. And

that led to Friday’s lunch with Campen.

North Knox’s City Coun-cil member, Campen owns Conservation Cooperative, a business he started after serving as executive di-rector of the Izaak Walton League’s local affi liate.

He started as a student volunteer with Walton, picking up trash along the Tennessee River. He be-came execu tive director in 2008. During his tenure he worked with Turkey Creek Land Partners to manage the wetland created when the shopping center was built. He also led efforts to restore a wetland in the Deane Hill area.

Mark and Emily have two young kids, and he has a heart for Bob Collier’s vi-sion for the Emory Road property as a place where youngsters can fi sh in the creek, see a spring bubble from the ground and may-be, on a good day, spot a deer or wild turkey.

We met twice last week – with Scott Moore to make the Collier land accessible and with Mark Campen to get a plan for protecting the springs and creating a wetland to fi lter the runoff before it hits Beaver Creek. Let’s make this happen!

Oliver hosted a wonderful party Saturday at Marco’s Pizza. It was a relaxed affair. School principals sat around waiting for the pizza-eating contest. Angie Harrod said she’s counting the days un-til the school year ends . Yes, she’s retiring, and she’s sad about missing the kids and teachers at Adrian Burnett Elementary. But she knows she’s got to clean out her offi ce and that’s why she is counting the days.

Petrone, owner of Mar-co’s Pizza in Knoxville, said he hosted the fun day for three reasons: so kids could have fun, to raise a little money for the schools and to create a good venue for businesses to meet people in the community.

He said the goals were achieved.

Even adults had fun as

area elementary school principals and their desig-nated “volunteers,” lined up to start the pizza-eating competition.

Dr. Chris Henderson and assistant principal Jamey Black represented Halls El-ementary. “The only full ad-ministrative team present,” said Black.

Jennifer Atkins, prin-cipal at Copper Ridge El-ementary, brought her hus-band, Chris, to form her school’s team.

Larry Israel represented Brickey-McCloud, assisted by a volunteer parent from the audience.

Angie Harrod and fi fth grade teacher Mark Jones represented Adrian Burnett.

With a school that is already struggling with behavior issues, how do you think these curriculum chang-es will positively impact be-havior?”

In a Shopper News in-terview, Rountree said the changes Sutton proposes will disrupt innovative in-struction taking place in SDMS feeder schools like the Arts 360 program, which integrates arts and academics. She said the changes are designed to de-

vote more time preparing students to take tests.

“They’ve decided to cut related arts programs at a school that is desperately in need of continued positive things,” she said.

“Parents were given mis-information about what the cuts are slated to be. This has nothing to do with the budget, or the school board. They’re reallocating posi-tions to core subjects. That most recent email from the principal didn’t give all the

information, and it’s impor-tant for parents and kids that we are all on the same page.”

Rountree requested a side-by-side comparison of class offerings at South-Doyle Middle School and Bearden Middle School, saying kids in South Knox-ville “deserve equal curricu-lum opportunities.”

Requests for responses from the principals were declined.

“How does this apply to Halls?

“I see some of the same things I saw in downtown. Unkempt, overgrown grass, trash, burned out lights, areas of no guardianship around shopping centers and businesses. Poor light-ing, inconsistent styles of lighting (old 1970’s blue mercury vapor to glaring parking lot lights).

“Halls needs a street lighting makeover similar to what we see on Emory Rd near I-75 or Callahan Rd. We need to ramp up the cleaning of dirty lots and do graffi ti abatement. I’ve seen evidence of homeless camps and we need to further check this. If you remember we had a Halls school secu-rity guard killed by a man I think who had been living in a homeless camp in the area.

“We need to reach out to Keep Knoxville Beau-tiful and see if they have any more donated paint for graffi ti removal and also take advantage their help and of the inmate labor to cut and clean right of ways. We should do anything that

brings legitimate traffi c to an otherwise desolate area. The pet park in downtown is a great example. Go by there anytime and take a look. We received a grant from PetSmart for $100k to start it.

“I look around Halls and see opportunity. But as an outsider trying to drive in the rain at night it is dark, hard to see anything, and nothing is consistent from street addresses to sig-nage. It looks abandoned in certain places, old and unkempt. I think we could change some of that. Now especially since TDOT is do-ing all that work.

“We desperately need them to get on board with lighting. We do this not only to brighten the place for commerce but also for acci-dent and crime reduction.”

Wow! Bobby Hubbs is the captain for Knox County Sheriff J.J. Jones in Halls. We don’t expect all respons-es to be so comprehen-sive, but we do need your thoughts. Take and minute and do it now!

By Sherri Gardner HowellThere was a defi nite chill

in the air for the Knoxville Alzheimer’s Tennessee Walk on Saturday.

The setting, however, screamed “Spring,” so par-ticipants had little trouble warming up to the cause.

Held at the University of Tennessee Gardens off Ney-land Drive, the Alzheimer’s Tennessee Walk drew close to 1,000 walkers and sev-eral celebrities, includ-ing Alzheimer’s Tennessee champions, coach Phillip and Vicky Fulmer and their family and Karns High School’s rising star, Emily Ann Roberts.

The Fulmer family threw their support behind the fi ght against Alzheimer’s more than 10 years ago, and the coach recently shared that the cause is now per-sonal for them as his mother battles the disease.

Karns High School stu-dent and runner-up in NBC’s “The Voice,” Emily Ann can take a page from the coach’s playbook.

She signed on as a Cham-pion of the Cause in honor of her grandmother, who suffers from Alzheimer’s. Emily Ann performed just before the walk began.

Bruce Foster Jr. came by the legal profession natu-rally. His grandfather, E.G. Foster, and his father were both attorneys. But the younger Foster didn’t know anything about represent-ing airports before he was hired as attorney for the Metropolitan Knoxville Air-port Authority in 1987. He learned on the job, he says.

Bruce Foster Sr. settled in Knoxville after law school, and Bruce Foster Jr. was a member of the second class to graduate from West High School. He went on to UT for his bachelor’s and law degrees.

He hoped to learn to fl y during his Army service, but never had the opportu-nity. Signing on as airport authority attorney didn’t increase his time in the air. One of the fi rst things he wanted to know after taking the position was if he’d get

This is the story of the other guard, Ed Molinski, Tennessee 1938-40, two-time All-American, College Football Hall of Fame.

Robert Lee Suffridge was a bit more famous, a three-time All-American, recipient of the 1940 Knute Rockne Award as the most valuable lineman in the country.

Later, Suffridge was a fi rst-11 honoree after the fi rst hundred years of foot-ball, selected from an esti-mated 2.5 million former players. He had credibility. Robert R. Neyland said Suff was the best he ever saw. Mo was close.

The two guards played in a golden era for the Volunteers, 17 consecutive games with-out permitting a point. Their

teams won 31 and lost two.They will be recognized

again on Saturday at the Or-ange and White game when the school presents an inau-gural version of its athletic hall of fame. Cheers.

Suffridge and Molinski meshed fl awlessly in Ney-land’s single wing and the 6-2-2-1. They were devas-tating blockers and devil-ish defenders. They were opposites as people. What’s more, they didn’t like each other.

We are told that Molinski thought the happy-go-lucky Suffridge was irrespon-sible or worse. We know what Suff thought of laws, rules and regulations. You may have read in one of my books about the ol’ Vol vis-iting the newspaper on a very cold night and walking away with a sportswriter’s overcoat.

Neither man came from upper-crust. Bob was born in Union County, moved to Fountain City, played bril-liantly at Central High.

Ed, born in Scranton, Pa., of Polish immigrants, spent time in an orphan-age because his mother died young. He grew up in Mas-sillon, Ohio.

The father wanted the son to become heavyweight boxing champion of the world. The legendary Paul Brown wanted him to play football. Then high school

coach and father compro-mised. Ed was a great guard and boxing champ of Ohio.

He was an excellent stu-dent at UT. He earned his master’s while still playing. He became an assistant coach at Memphis State and a pro-fessor in history and geogra-phy. He joined the Marines during World War II and be-came a second lieutenant.

Ed returned to coach-ing and teaching, this time at Mississippi State, and decided he wanted to be a doctor. He needed a specifi c chemistry credit to get into med school. It wasn’t of-fered in Starkville.

To keep him on the foot-ball staff, the athletic direc-tor persuaded the president to create the course. This was a life-changing mo-ment.

Molinski later enrolled at UT med school, assist-ed various Memphis high

school football programs and worked as a security guard at the veterans hospi-tal to pay the bills.

When he started his medical practice, he be-came team doctor for Mem-phis State and several high schools. In his spare time, he was the professional box-ing doctor in town.

“He truly loved the medi-cal profession,” said son Chuck Molinski. “He worked at it until his death in 1986.”

He was 68.There are dozens of Mo-

linski tales and tidbits. He barely survived a cop-perhead bite at age 5. As a redshirt sophomore with the Vols, he was a volunteer policeman in Ohio – during the infamous 1937 steel mill strikes. Three people died. Hundreds were injured. His father was a striker.

There was a Molinski-Suffridge fi ght that never

happened. Neyland vetoed it. Ed was captain of the UT boxing team.

There was a late evening when Molinski and Suf-fridge reconnected for a minute, long distance, in an identity crisis. Chuck Mo-linski remembers it well.

“The sheriff’s offi ce in an East Tennessee county called our home and Mom answered. The caller said Ed Molinski was in jail for hit-ting a restaurant waitress.

“Mother looked over at Dad and said ‘My husband is right here next to me. There must be some mistake.’”

Upon further investiga-tion, it was found that Suff had told the police he was that famous Tennessee guard, Ed Molinski.

to fl y for free. The answer was no.

Changes at McGhee Ty-son Airport during Foster’s 29-year tenure have im-pacted the entire region. Renovations to the termi-nal, completed in 2000 at a cost of $78 million, were complicated because the airport had to operate while the new terminal was being built on the same footprint.

But construction wasn’t complicated from a legal standpoint, he says, and he’s pleased with the fi nal prod-uct. The airport’s fountains, crab orchard stone and

glass etched with tulip poplar leaves echo the area’s natural charms.

“It’s a tribute to the board at the time. They were determined that the airport should re-fl ect the local culture and be a gateway to East Tennessee.”

Aircraft maintenance hangars, built for Conti-nental Airlines in 2000 and Northwest Airlines in 2002, were more dif-fi cult. Multiple state and federal regulations, along with local building and electric codes, made it a challenge to meet the needs of the airlines.

“We wanted for them to have what they wanted, within reason.”

Foster prepares contracts for airlines when they begin offering service from Mc-Ghee Tyson. At one time, the companies changed so

frequently that there was a running joke about the air-line “du jour.” That’s settled down some, he says.

Changes continue at McGhee Tyson, and Foster is involved with exciting future events. He has two grandsons that are “wild-

eyed” about the upcoming Smoky Mountain Air Show on April 16 and 17. They likely don’t understand their grandfather’s role in preparing contracts for the many performers, vendors and staff required for the event.

He’s also worked on the $110 million airport modernization pro-gram, which includes several renovations to the airport’s runways and taxiways. Construc-tion began in 2014 and is expected to be com-pleted in 2020.

Foster will retire from his airport author-ity post in October, but will continue to practice with Bass, Berry and Sims. He hopes to have more time to fi sh, and if he can get his wife, Bet-sy, to retire from M.S. McClellan, he’d like to

travel.He also plans to visit old

friends at the airport.“It’s been a privilege to

work with some of the best, most professional and most accomplished people I can imagine being gathered into one organization.”

Other Knoxville resi-dents going to the GOP national convention as delegates and alternates include former Sheriff Tim Hutchinson for Trump, Sam Maynard for Trump, Ken Gross for Trump, Karen Brown alternate for Cruz, this writer for Rubio, Michael Hensley for Rubio, Party chair Ryan Haynes for Rubio, Ted Hatfi eld alternate for Trump, Mike Arms alternate for Rubio and Gov. Bill Haslam for Rubio. Former Knoxville resident and UT student body president Steve Gill is a Cruz delegate.

The convention opens on July 18 in Cleveland.

State Sen. Mae Beavers, from Sum-ner County (Middle Tennessee) or state Sen. Bill Ketron are being widely discussed as the

possible chairs of the Tennessee delegation. Beavers is a Trump delegate who won the most votes statewide. She would be the fi rst woman to chair a Ten-nessee Republican delega-tion at a national conven-tion. The chair is elected by the full delegation and a majority are delegates pledged to Trump. Ketron is also a Trump delegate.

■ Meanwhile on the Democratic side, Mayor Madeline Rogero, after staying silent for months on her preference between Sen. Bernie Sanders and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, has now come out in favor of Clinton by seeking to be a del-egate for her. Knox County Democrats in the March 1 primary split almost evenly between Clinton and Sand-ers with Clinton carrying Knox County by only 900 votes.

If Clinton is elected President, Rogero is expected to take a position in her Ad-

VictorAshe

Beavers may chair GOP delegation

ministration in 2017 or 2018. Her term as mayor expires in December 2019, and she is ineligible to seek a third term. Being a delegate for Clinton would be a political boost for her to win a job with Clinton.

■ Some Knox County Democrats are disap-pointed and unhappy over Rogero forcing Tank Strick-land to resign his position with the city after working for four mayors. Strick-land has been an active Democrat over the years, the fi rst African-American to chair the Knox County Commission and a Demo-crat elected by a bipartisan coalition. He also had a kidney transplant and is in his 60s. Rogero had never voiced any dissatisfaction with Strickland’s job per-formance during her fi rst term but apparently had not forgiven Strickland for supporting Haslam over her for mayor in 2003.

■ Hugh Nystrom, GOP County Commission nominee, had a backyard barbecue at his Westmore-land home a few days ago to thank supporters for his substantial primary victory and to encourage them to continue the effort to the Aug. 4 general election against Democrat Marleen Davis. Over 100 persons attended including county Trustee Ed Shouse and Ann Bailey, sister of Gov. Bill Haslam.

■ One really has to ad-mire Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey’s willingness to depart on his own from the second high-est offi ce in Tennessee state government after 24 years of service. John Wilder never did it. Many public offi cials overstay their time. Ramsey leaves on a high note and the voters had not discharged him from fur-ther service. Ramsey made a difference in government and has been a very effec-tive leader of the Senate.

Sen. Randy McNally, who represents part of Knox Coun-ty, is mentioned as the likely next Speaker of the Senate. He would be the fi rst Ander-son Countian to be lieutenant governor and a heartbeat away from the governor’s offi ce.

■ The Legislature is expected to adjourn for the 2016 session by the end of next week at the latest.

Veterans

The 20th HonorAir fl ight was scheduled to depart Knoxville this morning (April 13) carrying a plane fi lled with veterans and volunteers on their way to Washington, D.C.

Mike Pettit is one of the veterans on board and is thankful for the opportunity to make the trip. He was at a recent presentation when LifeStar donated a Zoll E Series cardiac monitor to Eddie Mannis of HonorAir for the trips. HonorAir takes veterans, free of charge, to the nation’s capital to see the memorials built to recognize the sacrifi ces they made for their country.

The equipment will al-low the paramedics, nurs-es and physicians who fl y with Honor Air to quickly diagnose and treat cardiac emergencies before the ar-rival of an ambulance.

LifeStar personnel ac-

company the group on each trip. Since HonorAir began in 2007, more than 2,500 WWII, Korea and Vietnam veterans have taken the free, one-day trip. Medics Matt Owens, Rocky Walker and Kay Kirkland repre-sented LifeStar at the event.

Following the presenta-tion, I had the opportunity to chat with Pettit briefl y. When asked what he want-ed to see the most while in Washington, Pettit got choked up and said that see-ing the memorials means a lot to him. He talked a little bit about his service in Viet-nam. I learned that he was a graduate of West High

School and the University of Tennessee who learned to fl y planes in Knoxville be-fore joining the Air Force, in which he served fi ve years.

In Vietnam, Pettit fl ew a C7A Caribou and remem-bers fl ying in dangerous zones, often right at the tops of the tree line. He said Vietnam was a beautiful place but not an ideal place to be in war time. Pettit was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for his service.

Pettit left home when his youngest was just nine months old. His wife would send tapes of the baby and the family talking for him to listen to while overseas. When he fi nally returned, an older child mentioned dad being home, and that once-young-baby went and

grabbed the tape player – her only knowledge of her dad. And that’s when I choked up.

At the end of the dona-tion event, LifeStar gave veterans an opportunity to ride in the helicopter over Knoxville. Pettit jumped at the chance to ride in the cockpit, having fl own an aircraft during his military service. I jumped at the chance to ride along and capture pictures of him and of Knoxville so he could re-member the day for a long time.

When we landed back at the hanger, Pettit and I said our goodbyes and shared a hug. It was truly an honor to have met Mike Pettit and to say thank you for his service to this country.

Scholars at the University of Tennes-see are pre-serving war stories from veterans of A m e r i c a ’s c o n f l i c t s , not from the “top down,” but from the “bottom

up,” making UT a national center for the military re-cords of people who actually participated in America’s battles.

The Center for the Study of War and Society is col-lecting letters, diaries, pho-tos, memoirs and small unit histories.

Interviewer Cynthia Tin-ker says it’s a labor-inten-sive project with World War II research available online at dlxs.lib.utk.edu/f/fa_spc

She spoke recently to the North Knoxville Rotary Club at Litton’s.

The offi ce is headed by Vejas G. Liulevicius, history professor who also attended.

But Tinker, the program coordinator, got both laughs

and maybe a few tears as she read transcripts of the interviews with veterans.

She told of one “Forrest Gump” interview – a UT grad in geology who hap-pened along at juncture-points in history.

He was working in Iran and got out just one week before the hostage takeover. He was helped by the Cana-dians.

On his travels he met Queen Frederica, Orson Welles and the Beatles. He ended most statements with, “But I didn’t know who (they) were.”

Since the project began in 1984, the UT scholars have received thousands of contributions. “We are al-ways looking for more dona-tions,” said Tinker.

To preserve items in UT’s collection, phone 865-974-0128 or email csws@utk.edu/

The Center is based in room 220 Hoskins Library.

Donors are always wel-comed. A special fund me-morializing Hop Bailey Jr. has been established.

Most recently, the Cen-ter launched a digital vet-erans oral history project. Audiotapes of 25 years of interviews were digitized and mounted online for the broadest possible dissemi-nation by UT Libraries.

The data are available to all, from professional mili-tary history authors to high school kids working on a class project.

Information can be searched by interviewee, subject, geographic region or other keywords.

The Center’s staff have recorded more than 300 hours of veterans’ inter-views.

It’s history that’s get-ting away as veterans die. There’s a sense of urgency on the part of the scholars to talk with as many veterans as possible.

Lewis Frelan Goddard, was born on May 9, 1924, in Proctor, Vermont. His par-ents were Carlyle J., then employed in the Vermont marble industry, and Elva Emmons Goddard.

The Goddards moved to Knox County in April 1927 and Carlyle Goddard was employed as a draftsman and later as an engineer for a series of marble and con-struction companies.

Frelan fi rst attended grade school at Park City Lowry but completed eighth grade at Smithwood Grammar School. He be-came active in Harry Met-calf’s Boy Scout Troop 25 when he became 12 years old.

An early interest in bird study soon made him an expert in identifi cation of many species and he even developed an ability to nurse sick and injured birds back to health.

He matriculated at Cen-tral High School in 1939 and continued his interest in the outdoors by his member-ship in the Hiking Club each of the four years, serving as its president for two years.

With World War II cap-turing the attention of high school seniors in 1942-1943, he joined the enlisted re-serves in the Army Signal Corps. In January 1943, he was sent to the Lafayette Trade School in Lexington, Ky. Upon completion of the course in July, he was as-signed to Camp Crowder, Mo.

In their long-range plan-ning for the largest sea-borne invasion in history, cross-channel invasion of Europe which would occur on D-Day, Tuesday, June 6, 1944, the Allied command-ers realized the French Resistance movement, the

Maquis, could greatly as-sist just before and just after the landings. They could stymie the German defenses by destroying the highways, bridges and railroads needed to rapidly move reinforcements to the front.

One of the fi rst clandes-tine branches of the infant OSS (Offi ce of Strategic Services), the predecessor of the CIA (Central Intelli-gence Agency), was an op-eration code-named Opera-tion Jedburgh. Some of the “Jeds” later became CIA di-rectors, including William “Wild Bill” Donovan and William Colby.

Recruiters were sent out far and wide to ask for vol-unteers.

Eventually the elite group would number 92 teams with 276 men, 83 of them Americans.

Each three-man team was made up of an Ameri-can or British offi cer, a French offi cer and an en-listed radio operator to maintain communications and to coordinate with the central command back in Britain. The teams would parachute into German-oc-cupied France and rendez-vous with the Maquis and re-supply them with arms, ammunition, food and other supplies.

Although they were told they were to be a top-secret group assigned to extremely dangerous missions, they

recruited their quota of volunteers, Tec 3 L. Frelan Goddard among them. God-dard and his compatriots reported for very rigorous paramilitary training out-side Washington, D.C., at what was once the pictur-esque Congressional Coun-try Club.

The training included a crash-course in conver-sational French to enable them to communicate read-ily with the Resistance and to “pass” for a French native if confronted by the Ger-mans.

After a rough trans-At-lantic crossing on the Queen Mary, the offi cers were sent to Scotland for further training and the enlisted ra-dio operators went to Hen-ley on the Thames for ad-vanced radio training with their British counterparts.

They then were sent to parachute school near Man-chester where they were required to jump fi rst from a balloon gondola and then make two jumps from an airplane, moving in a “stick” of fi ve or six men to the door from which they jumped.

Each Jed carried an M-1 Carbine across his chest, a .45 pistol in his belt with extra clips of ammunition, a bag full of emergency ra-tions, a fi rst aid kit, a com-mando knife and his bin-oculars.

The teams jumped from low-fl ying planes at night to avoid detection and assem-bled at a pre-arranged area under the observation of the Maquis. Just before the men jumped, large metal con-tainers of grenades, plas-tic explosives, submachine guns, radios and boots – the paraphernalia of guerilla warfare – were pushed out of the plane ahead of them.

In June and July, fol-

lowing the June 6 invasion, the Jedburghs were active as the Allied armies estab-lished a foothold and then moved through the almost impenetrable hedgerows of France to annihilate the German defend ers.

Team Ivor, a three-man team of British Capt. J.H. Cox, French Lt. R. Colin and Sgt. L.F. Goddard, was the fi rst of three teams assigned to central France to orga-nize the French resistance there and to screen the right or southern fl ank of Gen. George S. Patton’s Third Army as it raced across France.

They boarded their plane in England, fl ew over the Channel and over Norman-dy and approached the drop zone at low level.

The plane slowed, banked in a wide circle and the jumpmaster shoved out the weapon and equipment containers.

Unknown to the Jeds or the jumpmaster the chute and static line of one of the containers did not de-tach and the heavy canister whipped back and forth on the side of the plane.

The jumpmaster shouted “Action stations!” and God-

dard prepared to jump. When ordered “Go!” he

jumped at the very moment that the canister detached and fl ew across the back of the plane entangling it-self in Goddard’s parachute lines.

Sgt. L. Frelan Goddard fell to his death on Aug. 7, 1944, at only 20 years of age.

French villagers hid his body from the German oc-cupation forces until they could bury him with a prop-er service by their Maquis chaplain.

Because the mission of the Jedburghs was top se-cret, the Goddard family received a notice from his Adjutant General on Aug. 21, reading “Sgt. Goddard was performing duties that make it imperative that no publicity be given to his death. It is therefore re-quested that this informa-tion be divulged to no one outside of your immediate family.”

It was months until the Goddards received a com-munication from his com-rade Capt. Cox and learned the details of his death. Lat-er, his body was exhumed and re-interred in the U.S. Military Cemetery at Dra-guignan, near Cannes, France, with about 800 oth-ers killed in action. He was awarded the Purple Heart posthumously.

Gen. Dwight D. Eisen-hower would later observe that, by arming more than 100,000 young resistance fi ghters, the Jedburghs had played a major role in de-feating the Nazis, assem-bling a force equivalent to 10 Infantry Divisions.

Note: Sgt. Frelan God-dard was one of three con-temporaries of Dr. Tumblin who died in World War II.

T. S. Eliot was right. April will break your heart.

There are, so I’m told, people who are sad in the autumn. Death, they claim: the dying year. The leaves turn gold and rus-set and scarlet, and then fall to the earth. Winter will be next, they say.

I am a child of the au-tumn, so it is life to me: sparkling skies and rus-tling leaves and cool eve-nings and a fi re in the fi replace.

April, on the other hand, always makes me sad. I have no idea why that is. There have been many happy occasions in April throughout my life – my brother Warren’s April birthday, the birth of my daughter Eden, my marriage to my wonder-ful Lewis and his own April birthday – but there is an ache around the heart that I can’t defi ne.

Maybe it is the beauty of the reborn world, the

The Lord will guide you continually, and satisfy your needs in parched places, … and you shall be like a watered garden, like a spring of water, whose waters never fail.

freshness and the prom-ise, the fl owers and the budding trees. I love the dogwoods, with their nail-scarred petals, and the redbuds which fl ow-er into the purple of the mocked King’s robe.

Maybe part of my ache is our own American his-tory: the Civil War be-gan in April, and ended four years later in April. I spent two years of my life just outside Gettys-burg, steeped in the real-ity of those haunted bat-tlegrounds. My father’s younger brother learned of my brother’s April birth while in a foxhole on Okinawa.

By Cindy Taylor The Rev. John Broom

says he committed his life to Christ in 1958 after watch-ing a Billy Graham fi lm while living in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. At 18, he began his career as a preacher at the University of Graham-stown, South Africa.

“After my years at Uni-versity, where I met my wife Elaine, we both sensed the call of God on our lives for full-time service,” said Broom.

Broom says God had other plans before send-ing them out in ministry. Broom entered the busi-ness world as a young ex-ecutive in Pretoria, South Africa while Elaine taught in primary schools. Broom says it was in 1966 when the couple knew without a

doubt that God was calling them to pastoral ministry in the Baptist Church. John went through four years of intensive training and was ordained in 1971.

“We served our fi rst church in Johannesburg while grappling with the

challenges of the apartheid government and its injus-tices that disadvantaged so many of our people,” he said. “Then in 1976 God called us back to the land of my birth, Rhodesia, (now Zimbabwe) which was em-broiled in a civil war.”

Broom says it was while in Zimbabwe that their as-sociation with Southern Baptist missionaries began (and it continues to this day). The couple started a ministry to grow missional churches.

“That has been our pas-sion as we have watched God raise up some stunning ministries including HIV AIDS ministries and prison ministries.”

The couple were asked to serve at Smithwood Baptist Church for fi ve months in 2011 by long-time friend Dr. David Crutchley, who pas-tored Smithwood at the time.

Broom is returning to Smithwood for a special ser-vice at 6 p.m. Wednesday, April 20, to share what he terms as an “Evening of Bib-lical Truth in Rhyme” inter-spersed with favorite hymns.

Broom says his passion in this regard is to create a new tool of spiritual discipleship by putting truth into rhyme.

“We need to get biblical truth back into the hearts and minds of people in an increasingly biblically il-literate generation, said

Broom. “We love the work God has called us to do. Our vision is simply to continue in ministry as long as God gives us breath.”

By Cindy TaylorHolston Hills resident,

the Rev. Elizabeth Peterson, has pastored Fourth United Presbyterian Church since 2011.

Peterson grew up in the Presbyterian Church.

“I began working as a youth director with middle and senior high school stu-dents right out of college,” she said. “Since I had done this in the past, the call to continue working with youth was a natural fi t.”

Peterson received a B.S. in Anthropology from Se-wanee and earned a Master of Music in Opera Perfor-mance from Washington University in St. Louis. Then a move to Tennessee called her to add another direction to her ministry. She graduated from Colum-bia Theological Seminary in 2004.

“I was ordained the same year and have been serving churches in Knoxville ever

since.”When Peterson took the

position at Fourth United Presbyterian, the church had recently merged with Fourth United at Knoxville College and had two pastors. She was brought on in 2011. Since then, the other two pastors have moved and re-tired from ministry. She says the merger is what drew her to take the position.

“I liked the idea of new church development. I loved the idea of a white and a black congregation actually merging into one. It’s hard for any church to agree to merge because of territo-rial sentiments and inertia. These two congregations not only merged but were willing to do it with mem-bers of another race. I was intrigued.”

Peterson says being solo pastor can be an isolat-ing job. She says it is also a struggle to deal with dis-crimination against women

in the pastoral role, espe-cially in the South.

“Pastors are set apart anyway. People often expect us to be somehow better than human. We are fl awed like everyone else. We are simply following a call to preach God’s word of love as best we can.”

To complete her Doctor of Ministry degree, Peterson wrote a dissertation on do-ing anti-racism work in her

congregation with a focus group of Elders and com-munity leaders in old North Knoxville.

“I would like to see us expand this conversation, because it is defi nitely one we need to be having locally and nationwide.

Story So Far: South Orange River Mid-dle School has created a special seventh-grade soccer team for a bunch of guys who have no interest in sports. Ed Sitrow, un-willingly designated goaltender, tells what happens.

The ride to Buckingham Junior High’s soccer fi eld the next day was strange. We were not the only team going. Two other soc-cer teams, our regular eighth-grade team as well as the sixth-grade team, were on the bus. Everyone sat with their own group. The other kids were all moody, worried, like they were playing the game in their heads. As for us, we were relaxed, looking out win-dows, telling jokes, talking about this and

that. I mean nobody wanted to even think about what was going to happen.

Then, when we arrived, the other kids jumped to their feet all excited, with lots of laughing, shouting, pounding each other on backs, like they wanted to get out. Now it was our turn to sit moody and glum.

The bus driver turned around and looked at us. We were the only ones left. “Hey, guys, this is it.”

“Can’t we go to the next stop?” asked Porter.

The bus driver thought the remark was a joke. We didn’t.

So it was that on a chilly, gray Septem-ber afternoon we stepped from the bus and

slouched toward the Buckingham fi eld. The leaves were just beginning to turn. Our stomachs already had. Right then and there, I knew why I was opposed to capital punishment. I not only wanted to live, I fi rmly believed I was innocent.

We all were. Our only crime was that we didn’t like sports much. Worse, we actu-ally preferred other things. Not every-thing. Some things. For example, Saltz was keen on his writing, and only okay in biology. Lif-som was gung-ho about art, but his grades were gener-ally just so-so.

Fairly normal. Or so we thought. Watch-ing football, rooting for teams, stuff like that, just wasn’t important to us. True, Fen-wick was a whiz at poker, and claimed that was a sport, but he didn’t get much support. You’d think not being into sports was anti-human, or worse, un-American.

How? By the notion that playing sports isn’t fun.

Fun. It reminded me of a class trip to the A.S.P.C.A. Someone asked a woman there if they ever had to kill an animal. “Oh, no,” she said with a big smile, “we just put them into a long, long sleep.”

After two practices, we could tell that we were heading into a long, long sleep.

When we got to the fi eld, the Bucking-ham team was already lying in wait. Mr. Lester went to speak to the other coach. Maybe to warn him. As he left, he said, “Get yourselves ready.”

Get ready? Get lost is what we wanted to do.

Out in the middle of the fi eld, the referee was showing off, kicking the soccer ball up in the air with alternate feet and never once letting it touch the ground.

We watched.“Think he’s open to a bribe?” wondered

Hays.“Why not just get him for our team?”

Saltz said.“Do an exchange,” offered Radosh. “We’ll

ref. He’ll play.”“Sure,” said Porter, “but then we’d have

to know the rules.”Porter had a point.Then we watched the Buckingham team.

They were kicking the ball to each other as if it were on a guide wire.

“I think they know how to play,” said Root, clearly upset by the possibility.

“Maybe we should ask for lessons, in-stead of a game,” put in Dorman.

With that, we all started to laugh. And couldn’t stop.

Mr. Lester hurried back. When he saw us in the midst of our fi t, he got worried. “Is something the matter?” he asked.

“Root here,” said Hays, “had this idea that we were going to play those guys. It broke us up.”

“Why, yes,” said Mr. Lester, perfectly se-rious. “They are the opposing team.”

“What are they, all-stars?” asked Eliscue.“Oh, no,” said Mr. Lester, alarmed. “It’s

their third-string seventh-grade team. Per-haps, gentlemen, you should warm up.”

“When you’re cold, you’re cold,” said Barish. It was such a bad joke we stopped laughing.

“Does everybody know what position he is playing?” asked Mr. Lester.

We did, sort of. During the sec-ond practice, book in hand, he had placed us around, but I wasn’t sure of the position names, except goaltender.

“Now,” said Mr. Lester, “remem-ber the important thing is to . . .” Then, so help me, he forgot what he was going to say. But Mr. Lester was, if nothing else, pre-

pared. Right off, he went to his pocket and pulled out some papers. Notes. “Ah, yes,” he said, and began to read. “It’s important to concentrate. Learn to meet the ball. And, gentlemen, the most important thing of all is—”

We never did learn the most important thing of all. The referee blew his whistle.

The Buckingham team gathered, their blue jerseys merging into a storm cloud. Out came a thunderous cheer.

If that cheer was meant to show us that, although a third-string team, they were real and strong and feeling victorious, that we had every reason to expect defeat, it worked.

“How about us doing a cheer?” suggested Mr. Lester.

“Shazam,” said Lifsom. Not only was he the only one who said anything, it didn’t work. We were still us.

We sort of backed onto the fi eld. Lifsom, who was playing up front in the middle, shook hands with the opposite Bucking-ham players. Maybe they decided to be nice to us. Anyway, it was our ball for starters.

As for myself, I was strolling around in the goal area trying to remember every-thing I knew about the rules, which wasn’t much. How far could I go? I felt certain I could kick the ball, but on second thought, as well as third through seventh, I wasn’t sure. Was I allowed to touch the ball with my hands or just my elbows? Did knees count? Things like that.

In fact, I was pacing along the newly chalked goal lines, with my back to the fi eld, when the whistle blew. I looked up, wondering what had gone wrong. What had gone wrong was, the game had begun.

Now, the way it works, I think, or is sup-posed to work, is that Lifsom, being up front and middle, sort of kicks the ball back toward our side — at the moment it was Barish who was behind him — and away we would go.

But to give you a full sense of how the game went, all I can say is that some-where, somehow, between the time the ball touched Lifsom’s foot — I think it was his foot, because, as I said, I hadn’t been watching — and the time it was supposed to reach Barish, Buckingham had already stolen the ball.

They didn’t just steal it. They kept it. For-ever. When I looked up, I saw this wall of storm-blue shirts rolling down the fi eld, in my direction!

A team of students from Gresham Middle School worked to design an experiment through the Student Spacefl ight Experiments Program’s (SSEP) Mission 7 to the International Space Sta-tion (ISS) during the 2014-2015 schoolyear. Their experiment was chosen through a nation-al review at the Smithso-nian’s National Air and Space Museum, complet-ed the NASA Flight Safety Review, and was integrat-ed into the payload on a SpaceX-7 rocket bound for the ISS. The team trav-eled to Cape Canaveral, Fla. in late June 2015 to

witness the launch, which unfortunately malfunc-tioned upon liftoff caus-ing the rocket (and their experiment) to explode.

On April 8 the GMS project launched again aboard SSEP M7 Odys-sey II on SpaceX CRS-8. Gresham team members Keagan Cross, Molly Hensley, Haley Hill, Han-son Lam, Katherine Red-den and Andrew Starling worked in collaboration with professors and grad-uate students from the UT Knoxville, Food Sciences Department; UT Knox-ville’s Biochemistry De-partment and Maryville College.

By Betsy PickleOne of the South Water-

front’s most intensely ques-tioned and closely watched new residential projects is nearly complete, and the re-ality sets a high standard for future development along the south side of the Ten-nessee River.

River’s Edge Apart-ments, 1701 Island Home Ave., is sprinting toward its fi nish after several years of neighborhood concerns and many months of construc-tion and road closures.

There will be an open house 12-7 p.m. Friday, April 29, and 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday, April 30, with a move-in date of May 31.

“People can come by, look at units, have a beer with us and hang out,” says Mark Taylor, president of Domin-ion Development Group, which constructed and is managing the property. The beer will come from Alli-ance Brewing Co. on nearby Sevier Avenue.

River’s Edge is offering a couple of promotions for early birds. The fi rst 50 peo-ple to move in “get a pretty signifi cant discount” off the fi rst month’s rent, Taylor says. The fi rst 100 people to move in will receive a Leg-acy Parks membership for a year.

“We’re excited about get-ting this place full and vi-brant quickly,” he says.

Several apartments have already been reserved. The leasing offi ce will be open 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday-Friday and 10 a.m.-12 Saturdays be-

Just across the street along the Tennessee River, the de-

velopers of River’s Edge Apartments on Island Home Av-

enue will construct a wide, public riverwalk.

ginning Monday, May 2.The fi rst of the 134 units

should be ready by late April or early May, and the rest should be done by the mid-dle of June.

During a tour for the Shopper last Friday, Taylor explained how DDG built up the land for the riverwalk across the street, which will

be completed after the fi ve apartment buildings are fi n-ished. The concrete-decked walk will be up to 60 feet wide in some places, with plenty of room for pedestri-ans and bicyclists.

There will be benches and seating areas and some river access. The developers are building the riverwalk

to the city’s specifi cations.In keeping with South

Waterfront code, all the utilities are underground.

With downtown and the heart of the University of Tennessee campus just a 10-minute bike ride away, Taylor believes that the complex will appeal to those who like the downtown vibe but at a lower price.

“With where rents are go-ing downtown and close to downtown, we saw this as … an area that will draw a more diverse crowd who still likes an urban lifestyle and wants

to be connected to downtown and also with what’s going on in the Urban Wilderness. You get the best of both worlds.”

Around 80 of the units are two bedroom, with an-other 45 or so one bedroom and the rest three bedroom. They range from about 900 to about 1,300 square feet. Rent averages $1.05 per square foot.

First-level units have patios, second-level units have balconies and third-level apartments have sunrooms (they also have vaulted ceilings). All the

apartments have generous closet and storage space. The kitchens feature gran-ite countertops and solid wood cabinetry. Bathrooms have subway tile. More than half the units have river views.

Cats and dogs up to 75 pounds are allowed. The complex also has a swim-ming pool, fi tness center and grilling area. The G&O Rail with Trail, expected to open in 2017, is at the back of the property.

Dr. Allen Edwards and Dr. Anthony Wise have a few things in common. Ed-wards is president emeritus of Pellissippi State Com-munity College. Wise is the college’s current president. Both are members of the Rotary Club of Knoxville. Both accompanied the col-lege’s choir, Variations, on an eight-day trip to Lima, Peru, and helped raise mon-ey for a project for the Lima Sunrise Rotary Club.

Rotary is about mak-ing connec tions at home and abroad and this was a 3,345-mile connection be-tween Knoxville and Lima Rotarians. It was the ninth trip for the 34-voice college choir, there from March 4-12.

One of the choir’s seven performances was a benefi t concert for the Lima Sun-rise club. The club is help-ing establish a rural cen-ter outside of Lima to help young boys with behavioral

By Sherry WittHistorically, March has

been the month when real estate and lend-ing activity picks up af-ter slumber-ing through the cold win-ter. While the surge

this year was not quite as pronounced as the one from 2015, it nonetheless provided evidence that local markets are continuing to move for-ward. The month ending on March 31 produced 991 prop-erty transfers in Knox Coun-ty, which was well ahead of February’s pace of 843, but just short of March 2015 levels when 1,025 parcels changed hands.

The aggregate value of property sold in March was also slightly under last year’s total, but did sur-pass the February fi gures by about $18 million. In March, about $198 million worth of real estate was transferred in Knox County, compared to $221 million in March of last year.

Mortgage lending in-

creased from last month, but only by about $11 mil-lion. Approximately $291 million was loaned against real estate during March. Last March saw just over $342 million in mortgage loans and refi nancing.

There were two commer-cial property sales of note. One involved the transfer of a residential complex known as The Elements at Cedar Bluff, which sold for just under $6.8 million. The other was the sale of the Sunfl ower Apartments lo-cated off Middlebrook Pike for $7.1 million. The larg-est mortgage recorded in March was $10.8 million, fi nancing units in The Ten-nessean Condominium near the World’s Fair Park.

Overall analysis of the fi rst quarter’s activity looks similar – but better – than that of last year. January through March has pro-duced 2,495 property trans-fers this year, compared to 2,193 during the fi rst three months of 2015. This quar-ter has seen about $531 mil-lion worth of land sold in Knox County, some $16 mil-lion ahead of the 2015 fi rst quarter levels.

Real estate sales continue steady climb

problems. The Lima club has only 25 members and the benefi t raised $1,000, a huge sum for such a small club, Edwards said.

The Lima Sunrise Rotary is an English-speaking club.

The choir also did a ben-efi t concert for the Union Church of Lima for its organ fund. The choir is directed by Meagan Langford, inter-im choral director.

“The students had won-derful experiences. They learned a lot about Rotary and about service projects,” Edwards said.

The choir’s repertoire consists of classical re-ligious music, American

folk music, popular mu-sic, and African American spiritual music. They have performed at some famous locations in their nine years of travel – at The Ca-thedral of Notre Dame in Paris, The Basílica of La sagrada Familia in Barce-lona and the Berlinerdom in Berlín. They have been to Portgual, China, Spain, Poland, Hungary, Germa-ny, France twice and now Peru.

Both Edwards and Wise were overwhelmed by the hospitality of fellow Rotar-ians, including Lima club president Dario Gastelo.

“The entire tour was a great success with large au-diences of school children and adults throughout the week. One of the highlights was the trip to Machu Pic-chu, an ancient Incan cer-emonial site which has been named a World Heritage Site by UNESCO,” Edwards said.

Artist Sarah Moore discusses the colors in her work. Photos by S. Barrett

By Sara BarrettGeorgia native Sarah

Moore has always been i nter e s te d in art, but she didn’t realize she wanted to be a full time artist until she was half way through

graduate school.When working on archi-

tectural drawings, Moore says she would fi nd herself thinking about her passion for painting and drawing.

“There’s never a moment when I’m painting that I’d rather be drawing a build-ing,” she says with a laugh. She decided to switch her focus and she hasn’t looked back. She now works for a nonprofi t in South Carolina while nurturing her career as an artist.

Envision Gallery in Bearden at 4050 Sutherland

Avenue will host Moore’s solo exhibition “Find Our-selves” April 22 through May 20. An opening reception will be held 5-8 p.m. Friday, April 22. Refreshments and wine will be served, and a violinist will perform.

Moore’s paintings are done in acrylics and feature nature, people and travel.

“I learned to paint in oil like most artists, but it didn’t dry quickly enough for me,” she says.

Moore also creates draw-ings from India ink and fi ne art markers. They will be included in the show as well.

It isn’t a coincidence the show’s opening falls on Earth Day. “Find Ourselves’ reminds us that the root of our existence is the natural environment, and the cel-ebration of that existence is the tie we spend with those we love,” says a press release about the exhibition.

Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center’s new “hybrid” operating room, a space that combines a traditional surgical suite with real-time CT and

X-ray imaging equipment to bring a state-of-the-art experience to surgery patients.

Vascular surgery helps Knoxville resident step out with confi dence

She had always enjoyed walking, but last summer Mary Hurt had to slow her pace considerably. The Knoxville resident had begun having extreme pain in her calves.

“I had problems walking any distance, and I thought I was out of shape – so I tried to walk more,” the Knoxville resident said. “But my calves would cramp after two blocks, and then one block.”

A physician friend of hers noted that her problem might be intermittent claudica-tion, Hurt said. “And he said I should see a doctor about it.”

Intermittent (meaning the pain comes and goes), and claudication (from the Latin “claudicare,” meaning “to limp”) is a condi-tion in which pain and cramping in the leg is induced by exercise. It is typically caused by obstruction of the arteries.

Like the arteries of the heart, small ar-teries in the legs can develop clots that block the fl ow of blood. This robs the mus-cles of oxygen and the result is tired, pain-ful legs. The condition typically gets worse with exercise and better with rest.

The reduction in blood fl ow may be caused by a temporary spasm of the artery or by a permanent artery narrowing due to a build-up of fatty deposits in the blood. The condition is quite common, affecting about one to two percent of the population under age 60 and fi ve percent of people over 65.

Hurt went to a vascular surgeon who performed angioplasty in her right leg. An angioplasty is a procedure in which an in-fl atable balloon is inserted in the artery to improve blood fl ow. But, within months of the procedure, the pain in Hurt’s legs re-turned.

“I missed going on a trip because I couldn’t feel my toes; they were getting numb every time I walked. I wasn’t getting

Q & A with Deanna L. Nelson, MDQ – Tell us a little bit about yourself.

What brought you to Knoxville?

A – I am originally from Asheville, N. C., but I went to undergraduate school in Vermont, and medical school and residency at the University of Vermont Medical Cen-ter. I did a fellowship in vascular surgery at the Cleveland Clinic. My husband’s family is still outside Asheville. So we wanted to come to Knoxville to get out of the snow! Actually, I really enjoyed our one snow this year.

Q – What’s your clinical expertise?

A – I am board certifi ed in general surgery, with expertise in endovascular surgery, vascular surgery, vascular access and varicose veins.

Q – Why did you want to bring the Ar-tis zeego system to Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center?

A – I had used the Artis zeego system at Cleveland Clinic, and in my opinion it’s the best system. It’s top of the line, and was installed last fall. It’s fairly complicated to use, but the imaging is wonderful, it allows

blood circulating to my lower extremities. I could not walk to my mailbox without being in so much pain, remembers Hurt.

Hurt sought another surgeon and re-ceived a recommendation for Deanna Nel-son, MD, a vascular surgeon on staff at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center. “I went to see her almost immediately,” Hurt said.

Dr. Nelson scheduled Hurt to be the fi rst patient at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center’s new “hybrid” operating room, a space that combines a traditional surgical suite with real-time CT and X-ray imaging equipment to bring a state-of-the-art ex-perience to surgery patients. Among other things, it features the Artis zeego multi-axis imaging system, which delivers high-defi nition 3D images for the surgeon.

Before her procedure began, Hurt said she was able to look around the new room. “The hybrid operating room is really some-

thing else to see. It’s incredible,” she said. “My father was chief of staff at Fort Sanders Presbyterian Hospital in the 1970s and it was so wonderful to see this new technol-ogy.”

Hurt’s procedure lasted more than four hours, with Dr. Nelson placing a total of fi ve stents, tiny tubes to prop the artery open, in her legs.

“She was just so determined to really fi x the problem,” said Hurt. “When I woke up I had stents in both my legs, and she had opened up my arteries in my calf area with angioplasty.”

Hurt stayed just 12 hours in the hospital and was home that evening.

“I was so much better just one week later. I’m like a new person,” Hurt said. “It’s huge – it’s absolutely miraculous! I think very highly of Dr. Nelson; she is something won-derful. Her excellence level is amazingly

high.”Hurt said she would recommend Fort

Sanders Regional Medical Center to anyonefacing vascular surgery. “The nurses andstaff were extremely caring, careful, con-scientious and very professional. And I’mnot saying that for any other reason thanit’s true,” said Hurt.

“I’m walking way more than before, andI had not been able to walk any distance atall for four months. It had gotten very lim-iting, but I’m doing everything normallynow,” she said.

“My father always said to get a secondopinion. I’m glad I did. Dr. Nelson has cour-age. Her spirit and attitude were so ‘can-do,’ – and I love that!”

us to do a lot of special things and yet ex-poses patients and staff to much less radia-tion. The hybrid operating room allows us to be faster, more precise and less invasive, which is better for patients.

Who is at risk for claudication?Risk factors for claudication include:

◊ Smoking◊ Diabetes◊ Overweight◊ Sedentary lifestyle◊ High cholesterol

◊ High blood pressure◊ Family history of atherosclerosis

or claudication◊ Older age (55 for men, 60 for

women)

Knowing your risk factors to any disease can help to guide you into the appro-priate actions, including changing behaviors and seeing your doctor.

What are the symptoms related to claudication?Claudication itself is a symptom of a narrowing or blockage of an artery.Typical characteristics of claudication include:

◊ Pain, a burning feeling, or a tired sensation in the legs and buttocks while walking

◊ Shiny, hairless, blotchy foot skin that may get sores

◊ Paleness in the limb when el-evated and reddened when lowered

◊ Cold feet◊ Impotence in men◊ Leg pain that occurs at night

when in bed◊ Pain that occurs at rest may be a

sign of increasing severity of arterial disease in the leg(s)

The symptoms related to claudication may look like other medical conditions or problems. Always consult your doctor for a diagno sis.
