By Jake MabeNestled on Smiley Clapp’s 150-

acre Corryton farm is a perfect piece of Civil War paraphernalia. And, no, I’m not talking about a cannon.

Built in 2007, the northwest bastion of Fort Sanders (origi-nally located near 17th Street on the UT campus and lost in the

early 1900s) has been replicated to scale.

It’s a sight you have to see.Clapp says that famed “Heart-

land Series” producer Steve Dean was looking for land free of power lines and houses that resembled the Fort Sanders of the 1860s to shoot a video for McClung Mu-seum. Blalock Construction had

agreed to help with the project if the site was located near one of its projects. As it happens, Blalock was building a bridge near Clapp’s farm.

Lincoln Memorial University professor Dr. Earl Hess served as a consultant to make sure the northwest bastion of the fort was built to the original’s exact height

Laundromat owners play detective,

The folks at A-1 Coin Laundry at 4883 Broadway in Fountain City (at the corner of Broadway and West Woodrow) aim to please.

They offer friendly service in clean, comfortable surroundings. They’ve got affordably-priced snacks, free wi-fi , cable TV and 25-cent video games for the kids.

And they’ve got $1-per-load washing machines.

No, that is not a misprint. In mid-September, owner Ricky Whitener and manager Kathy Dawn (they are mother and son) expanded their Thursday Dollar Day promotion to Dollar Day Ev-ery Day, which is less than half the

Crowne Plaza general manager Ken Knight says he came to Knox-ville during the golden years of University of Tennessee football – years when fans booked their hotel reservations the day the next season’s football schedule was re-leased. Home game weekends sold out months in advance.

“My wife, Tammy, and I moved here in ’93 – during the best de-cade in the history of Tennessee football. We got spoiled,” he said.

Does a decline in numbers cor-respond to a lack of enthusiasm for spending money?

Absolutely, said a veteran em-ployee of a West Knox establish-ment where Tennessee fans gather to catch away games on TV.

“It’s been devastating. I’ve been talking about this all season. The crowds that come in to watch the games have been much smaller. And when we’re losing, they quit drinking. I’ll ask, ‘You want to order anything to eat?’ They say, ‘No,’ and just sull up. People don’t feel like spending money on a los-ing team. Used to be, TV games had a big impact.

“Comparing the last two seven-home-game seasons (2008-09 and 2010-11), attendance dropped by nearly 12,000 (roughly 1,660 per game). A drop of almost 37,000 in attendance occurred in the last two eight-home-game sea-sons (2009-10 and 2011-12). This drop is equivalent to a reduction

The grim explanation is below:“Actually, if you see Jake, call

There’s a picture of the gray Nissan, too.

“He was smart at fi rst, not wip-ing us out all at a time,” Kathy said. “Our quarters started getting low in April or May, and the dollars didn’t match up with the quarters. We didnt know what was going on. We never thought somebody was coming in here ripping us off. We didn’t know it could be done.”

Out in South Knox, Ye Olde Steakhouse co-owner Cheryl Wil-son doesn’t need an academic sur-vey to conclude that football sea-son’s not what it used to be, and it’s not solely because of the Henley Bridge closing.

“We used to have some really rowdy crowds. It was ‘Roll Tide’ and ‘Go Vols’ all weekend. We’d have a few people get into fi ghts. But it’s been awhile. We used to do 800-900 (customers) a night. Now if we get 500-600 we’re doing good.”

Food City looking at new Halls store

“What about a new store in Halls?” we asked Food City pres-

ident and CEO Steve Smith, in town last week to open a new store in Powell.

“We’re work-ing on it as we speak,” he said.

Smith went on to say the current Halls

facility is a good store, “but it was an old Winn-Dixie.”

Food City made several renovations after taking over the former Winn-Dixie in Halls Plaza Center. John Jones, Food City’s executive vice presi-dent, lives and shops in Halls. Neither Jones nor Smith would commit to a location.

In Powell, Knox County is spending $320,000 to realign West Beaver Creek Drive with the Food City entrance on Clin-ton Highway, including instal-lation of a traffi c signal. That work is not done, so traffi c was di verted to a side entrance off the still-unfi nished Emory Road.

County Commissioner R. Larry Smith called the Powell store “fi rst class,” and manager Terri Gilbert “a great leader.” Smith went on to invite all to his birthday party on Oct. 8 to be catered by Food City. “I love their fried chicken.”

Up on the mountain where the horizons are below you and the sunsets will wear you out. Trees are so loaded with apples you can literally hear them groan. The trees are compensating for the past two years of fruitlessness, with late frosts giving the old trees a respite.

I was lucky enough to be up there for a cider press-ing, an event that draws the neighbors on a Sunday af-ternoon to Joe’s off-the-grid cabin to watch, taste and join in the happy work.

A few minutes of raid-ing the lowest-hanging fruit from two or three trees gar-ners us our admission to the pressing, which is as many apples as you can, or care, to bring. (No matter if you show empty-handed, every-one shares in a tasting of the amber goodness.)

Decades of cider-press-ing experience by moun-taineer Joe has led to an effi cient assembly line: the

apples come off the truck and get rinsed, picked over for leaves and pieces of branches and rinsed again. For a quicker run through the chipper, Joe has us cut the apples into chunks.

With three or four of us chopping, it goes pretty quick, with good-natured ribbing when the chipper is ready and the apples aren’t.

In previous years, the chipper was hand-cranked on an antique machine with a heavy fl ywheel, and luck-ily, a few big strong country

casions. One of those times, he used the pilfered change to buy a Coke and a candy bar from the laundromat’s vend-ing machines. Another time, he was caught in the act by another customer, but fl ed the scene before the police could get there. Rick and Kathy did their own investigating and found out who he was.

‘We got his name, his girl-friend’s name, his Facebook page and the make and mod-el of the car,” Kathy said. “I

had me a ball bat and a cup of nails, was going to throw them under his car. I would sit back in the offi ce and watch, hoping he’d come in.”

They got a warrant on Aug. 15, and were frustrated with the police department for not arresting him in a timely fashion. Shortly there-after, he and his girlfriend got busted in Sevierville.

“The police went to media in Sevierville and they caught him the next day,” Ricky said.

The Knoxville Police De-partment fi nally arrested him, and last week, Jake picked up an additional

charge when he failed to ap-pear in Knox County Gener-al Sessions Court. Ricky and Kathy are biding their time until he’s arrested again.

Not that they don’t have plenty to do. They’ve started a new business – “To Dye For” – and will be marketing their own line of custom-made tie-dyed shirts and hats. Last winter, they partnered with the Knox County PTA’s Clothing Center and laun-dered and folded nearly 50 30-gallon bags full of cloth-ing. At the same time, they’ve struggled with renovating and replacing their washers

and dryers and coped with problems created by an out-of-whack utility meter.

Rick, who worked for HGTV, but had always wanted to own his own business, bought the laun-dromat in 2010. Kathy re-tired from her longtime job as special projects manager at the Knoxville News Senti-nel and came on fulltime to help him. She says they love being business owners, de-spite the challenges.

“One step forward, two steps back is doing the cha-cha,” she said. “So we’re dancing.”

knows, it is the only built-to-scale earth fort in the United States.

Re-enactors started holding an annual event at the site in 2008. It will be the host of Knox County’s offi cial observance of the 150th anniversary of The Battle of Fort Sanders Thursday to Sunday, Oct. 10-13. (The actual battle took place on Nov. 29, 1863.)

Thursday and Friday mornings are re-served for school group tours.

On Friday afternoon (Oct. 11), the site is free and open to the public for lectures, presentations and military demonstrations about East Tennessee’s participation in the war. Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett will offi cially recognize the battle’s anniversary during a short ceremony at 4 p.m. A brass band will play Civil War-era instruments and Dan Patterson, the great-great-grand-son of Confederate Gen. James Longstreet, who commanded the Rebel forces during the battle, is scheduled to attend.

Re-enactments of the Battle of Fort Sanders and The Battle of Campbell’s Sta-

tion will be held at 4 p.m. and 2 p.m. re-spectively on Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 12-13. For a full schedule of events, discount coupons and more info, visit www.battleof-fortsanders.com.

Admission to the re-enactments is $8 for adults. Children under 6 are admitted free. Families with four or more members pay a maximum of $30. Admission is good for both days. The event will be held rain or shine.

This will be the fi nal year of the re-en-actment. Organizers expect the event to draw the largest number of re-enactors in its history.

The 20-minute battle on Nov. 29, 1863 was a disaster for the Confederates, which had 813 casualties to the U.S. Army’s 13.

The offi cial Civil War Sesquicenten-nial event is sponsored by The Knoxville Civil War Roundtable, Lincoln Memorial University, WBIR-TV, The Civil War Cou-rier, The Camp Chase Gazette, The Citizen’s Companion and the McClung Museum of Natural History and Culture.

It’s a start. Roughly 60 community

members, offi ce holders and city and county offi cials at-tended Halls at the Cross-roads, a Halls B&P break-fast event to discuss ways to revitalize the Halls business community, at Beaver Brook Country Club last Tuesday.

Halls at the Crossroads

Attendees identifi ed op-portunities and challenges. Opportunities included re-vitalizing the Halls shop-ping centers, repurposing empty big box stores, creat-ing better access to the com-munity, and capitalizing on the community’s existing assets (parks, greenways, library, senior center). Chal-lenges included building community support, absen-tee landowners and attract-ing new businesses.

The event was moder-ated by public relations guys Mike Cohen and Mike Arms.

Halls resident and for-mer WBIR-TV news anchor Bill Williams talked about “The Power of Pride,” using UT’s Pride of the Southland Marching Band as an anal-ogy.

He says every instrument is important and every per-son is important to make the band a success, and that the same is true in any com-munity.

Williams says the “secret” to the band’s success – and

to a community’s success – is “teamwork and hard work.

“I’ve never seen a group of young people work harder. Maybe that’s one of the rea-sons why they’re so good.”

Michelle Hummel, direc-tor of Knoxville’s Central Business Improvement Dis-trict, discussed how down-town Knoxville has been re-vitalized over the last decade.

“There is not just one sil-ver bullet. You all have a lot of wonderful assets. It takes everybody working together to (succeed).”

Knox County Codes Ad-ministration and Enforce-ment director Roy Braden said, “We adopt codes so we can help everyone. We are Knox County employees, but we (all of us) are Knox County (citizens).”

Metropolitan Planning Commission comprehen-sive planning manager Mike Carberry said that MPC is discussing reduc-ing the required number of parking spaces per square footage from fi ve spaces per 1,000-square feet to three spaces per 1,000-square

feet. “The Fountain City

Kroger is 3.2 spaces. Five for every 1,000 square feet of retail space is overkill.”

“Whatever we’re going to do has to be led by the peo-ple in Halls.”

Halls B&P president Shannon Carey says the Halls B&P will coordinate a committee to take a deeper look at the opportunities and challenges identifi ed at the meeting.

The committee will re-search what residents and businesses want to see in Halls and identify public perception.

“We will probably also pick a target location in Halls as a place to focus our efforts.”

ed Halls tennis courts near Halls Elementary School.

The school system and Knox County Parks and Recreation were initially unsure who owned the courts and was responsible for their maintenance.

“We are assessing their (the courts’) status.”

Here’s hoping the assess-ment doesn’t take as long as it did to determine owner-ship.

Three months ago, I vis-ited the historic Eugenia Williams home at 4848 Lyons View Pike which is owned by the University of Tennessee. It is one of only two houses in Knoxville de-signed by famed architect John Fanz Staub. The other is Hopecote on Melrose Av-enue, which is a guest house for special UT visitors. It is well-maintained.

Staub, raised in Knox-ville, spent most of his years in Houston where he de-signed the house built by oil heir Ima Hogg which later became the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston.

On Sept. 20, I made a return visit to see what changes had occurred since late June. I met with Terry Ledford, Gina Stafford and Justin Dothard. Clearly, UT maintenance crews had worked hard this summer to remove the almost jungle-like vegetation encircling the carriage house behind the main house (not visible from Lyons View Pike) as well as the driveway leading to it. It is close to the Ten-nessee River and adjacent to the home of UT Trustee Charles Anderson (east of the Williams house).

The University accepted the gift of this property in 1998, and little has hap-pened to it beyond slow decay as UT struggles to de-termine what to do with the gift which today they prob-ably wish they had never acquired. Given today’s re-ality, it is unlikely UT would have accepted the 24 acres and house.

At the time, there were ideas of it becoming the UT president’s home. Recently, UT found a buyer in Joe Fielden for the former presi-dent’s home on Cherokee Boulevard. The idea of the UT president having a home suitable for entertaining is

Williams estate needs solution

apparently dead.All this occurred during

three unfortunate presi-dencies which ended under unhappy and/or unpleasant circumstances.

Today, Joe DiPietro is nearing the end of his third year as president. He is innocent in the decision to acquire the house and failed attempts to deal with it. In fact, he has the op-portunity to turn what has become a lemon for UT into lemonade by bringing a so-lution to a story which is not going away. DiPietro, along with the UT board, needs to deal with this issue. He has a reputation of being a prob-lem solver.

Knox Heritage and its able attorney, Tom McAd-ams, have outlined a legal course of action to allow a sale of the house with restrictions as to its use subject to court approval. Restrictions could prevent the 24 acres from becom-ing a new subdivision or the house being demolished.

State government pres-ents a complicated process for sale of property, but there are people in Nashville who know the property well. Gov. Bill Haslam drove by it ev-ery day when he was mayor to get to work at the City County Building, and state Commissioner of Finance Larry Martin also knows the property. They would work to make a reasonable plan for the house succeed.

Today, UT clearly has no plan (or at least not one which UT offi cials will dis-cuss on the record). DiPietro

has the chance to move this unending problem into a so-lution. Its location on one of the most scenic and affl uent streets in Knoxville guaran-tees thousands of motorists see it daily and UT does not come off well. It is time for UT to turn its creative think-ing onto this issue. The stars could be aligned to secure a win solution for the Univer-sity if its leadership wants it to happen.

■ Louise Zirkle, long-time Republican activist, turns 94 years young to-day. She still lives in Se-quoyah Hills where she moved 55 years ago with her husband, George, and family. She still fol-lows politics. For over 40 years she worked the poll-ing site at Sequoyah Hills Elementary School. She chaired the GOP precinct committee there for some 30 years, following a ttor-ney Richard Stair Sr. She

never missed a countywide GOP convention. She was a delegate for Richard Nixon to the GOP national con-vention in Miami in 1968. Zirkle now lives adjacent to Talahi Park where she ad-vocates its revival as a park.

A longtime friend of for-mer council member Jean Teague, she allowed her name in the early 1980s to be written in as a coun-cil candidate for the West Knoxville district Teague represented in order to prevent some Teague op-ponents from fi elding a last-minute rival thru the write-in process. Zirkle won the write-in votes and then withdrew as a candidate.

Eugenia Williams commissioned her childhood friend, John Fanz Staub, to design

her home in 1940. The ornamental fretwork over the front door continues around

the house.

According to Brewer Ingram Fuller Ar-

chitects, the Eugenia Williams house

refl ects a number of diff erent archi-

tectural styles. The banister on the

front staircase, marble mantels and

ornate molding are Greek revival.

Let’s take a different approach this week. Think about your kid or a kid you know. Does their experi-ence with Knox County Schools prepare them for college or a job?

Your kidat school

Sandra Clark

If so, you should thank a teacher. If not, you should get behind Jim McIntyre and his band of bean-coun-ters to reform Knox County Schools.

There’s not much middle ground.

We asked how many hours a kid spends be-ing tested. We got back a testing schedule called an assessment landscape. It showed no child spending more than 15 hours (two days per year) in tests, many of them state- or federally-mandated.

Yet a teacher in the fi eld disputes the chart. (Note: the charts plus the KCS response to six questions from last week’s column are reprinted in full on our website at www.ShopperNewsNow.com.)

The teacher said only an administrator could say the CBM is 3-5 minutes and proceeded to reveal a process that includes a trip to the gym and individual tests out in the hall. (We’ve got her response on the website, too.)

“When you look at this assessment chart Knox County has created, at fi rst glance you think, ‘Oh, that’s not much.’ But when you look at what a child has to do in one 9-week period, you realize why teachers and children feel like all they ever do is test.

“An even bigger issue is whether or not parents understand all of this and are aware that their child is taking all of these tests, since a lot of the time the only tests that they know about are the weekly tests in math, reading, etc.”

While our questions to the superintendent were specifi c, a broader concern is to what extent does the community support student regimentation and testing?

End-of-course tests are expected, but we’ve gone overboard.

We’re told that the Com-mon Core state standards will bring teaching that’s

richer, more in-depth. But it seems we will be imple-menting this plan while testing on the old TCAP model. What’s up with that?

A teacher called Friday to say that she received a “con-ference of concern” while her grade-level colleagues got good evaluations.

“We were asked to teach to the Common Core (as a pilot last year), and I did. They didn’t. Instead, they pounded 20-30 multiple choice questions to their students every day.

“On TCAP tests, their students scored out the top, and the teachers are walk-ing home with a bonus.

“My kids found six ways the multiple choice questions could be right or wrong. They thought themselves into a hole and took me with them.”

Bean-counting doesn’t work well, even in business, and much less in education where little tykes need their noses wiped while they’re learning the ABCs. The Chamber of Commerce has culpability. It created the “data warehouse” and made testing its top priority for Knox County Schools.

Teachers have a dilem-ma. They are evaluated on two instructional methods (rich and richer?) while subjected to multiple unan-nounced evaluations.

But it’s really about the kids. Your kids.

A teacher said she often shuts down a kid who is trying to tell her a story in order to hop to the next item on her daily plan. She would be in serious trouble if an evaluator dropped in to fi nd her “off-task.”

Off-task. That used to be called teaching.

Meetings aheadSo if you want to learn

By Betsy PickleIt’s a little bit country, a

little bit rock ’n’ roll and a whole lot of marble.

Candoro Rocks will bring it all t o g e t h e r this week-end with a celebration of the mar-ble sculp-

tures of the late Albert Mi-lani and a tribute to Hank Williams.

A reception 5-8 p.m. Fri-day, Oct. 4, at Candoro Mar-ble, 681 Maryville Pike, will showcase the art exhibit featuring Milani sculptures and other marbles. John Majors, former UT head football coach, will be the sp ecial guest.

One of the sculptures is a bust of his late brother, Bill Majors, a UT coach killed tragically at age 26 in a car-train wreck after a UT game. The sculpture, including a sculpted pedestal, once re-sided in the Hall of Fame at Stokely Athletics Center but has been in storage for many years. Brimer Monu-ment Company is moving the 800-pound statue with-out charge.

The reception is a First Friday event and is free and open to the public. Musician Luke Wilkerson will per-form. Valet parking will be available.

“This happened really because of the great marble exhibit we’re about to do in conjunction with it,” says Sherby Jones, board mem-ber of the Candoro Arts & Heritage Center. “It will have fi ve of Albert Milani’s large pieces that we have found.”

Milani was chief carver at Candoro for 40 years. In its heyday in the 1930s and 1940s, the marble works contributed to many signifi -cant buildings throughout the United States.

On Saturday, the focus will switch to music in an event Candoro hopes will become an annual fall festi-val. The origins came from a Hank Days celebration pre-viously hosted by Candoro, so the heritage center tried to fi nd a way to incorporate that theme via the bands playing throughout the day.

“They’re all required to play a Hank Williams song,” says Jones. “They may all play the same tune, who knows.”

Participating will be the Meltones, Vestal Rid-ers, Rose Hawley, the Knox County Jug Stompers, Elec-tric Healing Blues, Exit 65 and the Samuel Williams Orchestra. The audience

Candoro Rocks: y’all come

Majors

will decide the winner of the Hank Williams Champion-ship Contest, judging the best rendition of a Williams song.

The bands will perform on two stages, with Vice Mayor Nick Pavlis hosting the mainstage.

A third stage will feature performances by belly-dance artists including DeLacey Ault, Humaya Tribal Fusion

and the Sandsations.“They’re not going to do

Hank Williams,” says Jones. “I tried to get them to.”

Candoro Rocks will run from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Satur-day. In addition to the music and dancers, there will be food and craft vendors and children’s activities. Items sold at the Candoro Café will benefi t the Candoro restoration fund.

The Historic Parkridge neighbor-hood will host the 2013 Barber Houses of Parkridge Home Tour on Saturday, Oct. 12, from 1-5 p.m.

Present-day Parkridge encompasses Barber’s Edgewood subdivision which contains many houses built according to early Barber designs, including his own home. The tour invites guests inside six

historic homes, and offers a guided walk-ing tour of Barber homes not open to the public.

Tickets are $10 and children under 12 are admitted free. Parking is available at Ashley Nicole Park, 620 Winona Street, where tickets may be purchased on event day until 4 p.m. Info: [email protected], or 297-3496.

By Betsy PickleOf all the promotions

aimed at keeping South Knoxville businesses afl oat during the Henley Bridge closure, this may be the coolest one yet: Scott Miller will perform a set at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 1, at the Disc Exchange, 2615 Chapman Highway.

Before you ask which limb store owner Allan Mill-er had to sacrifi ce to get the renowned Americana musi-cian to visit, listen to this:

“We called him,” says Scott Miller. “Those people have been so good.

“How can you not help the Disc Exchange? They’re dying on the vine over there.”

The music store is cer-tainly turning the evening into an event, offering free beer along with the free music. Miller also will sign CDs and get fans revved up for his 8 p.m. Friday, Oct. 4, show at the Bijou Theatre.

Miller, who established his music career in Knox-ville after moving here in 1990, returned to his native Virginia a couple of years ago to help his octogenar-ian father run the family farm near Staunton. He has kept close ties with Knox-ville and makes it a point to schedule shows here.

Next week’s visit will be like a homecoming as he promotes his new album, “Big Big World,” with a Blue Plate Special at WDVX and makes the media rounds.

Get ready for Scott’s ‘Big Big World’

approached songs the same way – we were simpatico there.”

He felt relaxed with Lan-cio because the lyrics he wanted to write and the mu-sic Lancio kept supplying were in the same vein.

“The thing with Doug was, he didn’t really want to mess with the lyrics; he was all music,” says Miller. “The music part is not my strong point. Never has been. I’m always, like, three-chord guy. Doug also has pop sensibilities. He’s proven it with Patty Griffi n and these other people that he’s pro-duced.”

The songs on “Big Big World” take Miller out of the Americana box and let him play with varying forms of rock, country and even Af-rican beats.

“This is different than any other record I’ve made,” says Miller, who adds that he had to open himself up to trust Lancio’s input. “Prob-ably my fans will hate it. But it’s what I wanted to do. And if you don’t want to do it and if you’re not happy doing it, who’s going to want to let you do it anyway?”

On his days off during the October tour, Miller will fl y to catch up with Griffi n and open for her on her tour. It will be a grueling month, but he’s ready.

“Working on the farm now, I’m in better shape than I’ve ever been,” he says. “I feel good. Whether I look good, I don’t know.”

He’s abandoning the cows for a month as he travels in support of “Big Big World,” which is technically a solo album but also a collabora-tion with Nashville produc-er, songwriter and musician Doug Lancio.

To create the album, Miller would take his type-writer and make a “little nest” in an offi ce at Lancio’s studio, writing lyrics to mu-sic Lancio wrote.

“The only person I’ve co-written songs with (before) was Mic Harrison from the V-Roys,” says Miller. “May-be that’s because we were taught by Steve Earle a lot of tricks and things, or be-cause Mic and I naturally

There’s a big game in townBig game in town. Chance

for a sizable upset. Could be a defi ning moment in the coaching career of Lyle Al-len “Butch” Jones Jr.

Marvin West

I suppose that’s a reach. The odds are seriously against it. Georgia has a siz-able edge in speed, at quar-terback, running back and in overall talent.

Other than that, let’s play football. You never know for sure.

Defi ning moments, sig-nature games, can be good

or bad, priceless gems or sore spots that never heal, unforgettable either way.

Robert R. Neyland had a really good one on Oct. 20, 1928, Tennessee against Al-abama in Tuscaloosa.

The young coach had to be a salesman just to secure a spot on the Tide schedule. Alabama was big time. It had been to the Rose Bowl. Tennessee was on the up-swing but was still using Maryville, Carson-New-man, Transylvania and Se-wanee as stepping stones.

Neyland ran a little con job on Tide coach Wallace Wade. He said he needed a game against a top foe to use as a teaching tool. He said it would probably be a rout and that offi cials should keep the clock run-ning if the home team was

far, far ahead.Alabama never got far,

far ahead. Tennessee soph-omore Gene McEver re-turned the opening kickoff 98 yards. The Vols won, 15-13. The Tide was stunned. Many of us consider this the real beginning of Tennessee football.

First defi ning game for coach Bowden Wyatt was Nov. 10, 1956, Tennessee against Georgia Tech in downtown Atlanta. The Yel-low Jackets were ranked No. 2 in the country, the Vols No. 3.

It was one of the most intense and exciting battles in Tennessee history, se-lected some time later as the second greatest game ever played. I can’t remember what was supposedly better.

The outcome swung on

two John Majors passes to Buddy Cruze, down and out, then down and in, to the Tech 1. Tommy Bron-son scored the touchdown in a 6-0 victory. Other highlights included Majors quick-kicking 68 yards and tackle Jim Smelcher fi nd-ing a fumble when Tech was driving.

There were other defi n-ing moments. Two years later, a Wyatt team lost to Chattanooga.

Strange that a couple of ties would be big deals in Doug Dickey’s time at Ten-nessee. Knotting up at 3-3 with nationally-ranked LSU in Baton Rouge was the bright spot for his fi rst team. That was 1964.

Fighting defending na-tional champion Alabama to a 7-7 tie in Birmingham

the next season was the lift-off to a strong fi nish. Snake Stabler contributed by throwing away the football to stop the clock – only to discover it was fourth down.

There were several oth-er defi nitive games in the Dickey era – the Rosebon-net win over UCLA, three in a row over the Tide, weeks and weeks in the top 10. Do not skip lightly over Dick-ey’s success.

Alas and alas, there was no way for Bill Battle to shake off the kick-return loss to North Texas State, the fake punt against Geor-gia and missed extra points against Duke. I prefer to remember the rain game against Auburn, smart punts on fi rst down, 21-0 Tennessee victory.

Defi ning event for Majors

as coach was Jan. 1, 1986,Sugar Bowl, 35-7 romp overNo. 2 Miami. I’m not surethe mighty Hurricane everfi gured out what hit it.

Phillip Fulmer had a de-fi ning season, 1998, over-time victory over Florida,miraculous comebackagainst Arkansas, nationalchampionship triumph overFlorida State in the FiestaBowl.

Derek Dooley had a de-fi ning game, the chaotic,last-gasp loss to LSU atBaton Rouge. Losing to aKentucky team that had noquarterback was worse.

If the current Vols putthe bite on the Bulldogs, itwill be the fi rst few feet –or maybe a city block – onButch Jones Boulevard. Marvin West invites reader reaction. His

Wisdom comes to us through many avenues. Sometimes we learn through reading and study-ing the Bible. Sometimes we hear a life-changing sermon. Occasionally the

oracle speaks through the voice of a good and faithful friend. Perhaps once in a lifetime, one hears the voice of God. (That is a column for another day).

It is not often, however,

Words of grace and wisdomThen the son said to him, “Father, I have sinned

against heaven and before you; I am no longer wor-thy to be called your son.” But the father said to his slaves, “Quickly, bring out a robe – the best one – and put it on him; put a ring on his fi nger and sandals on his feet. And get the fatted calf and kill it, and let us eat and celebrate; for this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found!”

(Luke 15: 21-24a NRSV)

God doesn’t care who you were. God only cares who you are now.

(“Cowboys and Aliens,” Scott Mitchell Rosenberg)

that God’s wisdom comes to us through a Western movie.

“Cowboys and Aliens” is not my favorite Western. Not even close. But I was watch-ing it one night with my hus-band, and when I heard the line quoted above, I grabbed a piece of paper and wrote it down: “God doesn’t care who you were; God only cares who you are now.”

There it is, I thought:

God’s grace in one sentence. Except that there is one im-portant part left out.

John Wesley famously understood the grace of God in three distinct ways: prevenient grace, justify-ing grace and sanctifying grace. Wesley believed and preached that God’s preve-nient grace was the grace that goes before (hence the prevenience of it). It is the grace that gets our atten-tion.

Justifying grace is the grace that sets us right with God, the grace that washes away our sins and makes us clean and whole.

Sanctifying grace is the grace that “grows us up”

in the faith, the grace that makes us the person God envisioned at our creation. That is a process that takes the whole of the rest of our lives.

That is the part of God’s grace that is left out of the quote. It is true that God doesn’t care who you were. It is very true that God cares who you are now.

Most of all, however, God cares who you are going to become. And who God wants us to become is per-haps best described by C. S. Lewis:

“Christ says ‘Give me All. I don’t want so much of your time and so much of your money and so much of your work: I want You. I have not come to torment your natural self, but to kill it. No half-measures are any good. I don’t want to cut off a branch here

and a branch there. I wantto have the whole treedown….The moment youput yourself in My hands,that is what you are infor. Nothing less, or other,than that. You have freewill, and if you choose, youcan push Me away. But ifyou do not push Me away,understand that I am go-ing to see this job through.Whatever suffering it maycost you in your earthlylife, whatever inconceiv-able purification it maycost you after death, what-ever it costs Me,

‘I will never rest, nor letyou rest, until you are lit-erally perfect – until myFather can say withoutreservation that He is wellpleased with you, as He saidHe was well pleased withme. This I can do and willdo. But I will not do any-thing less.’ ”

Church Powell celebrated 123 years during its home-coming Sept. 22. The Rev. Alfred Royer returned home to the church he pastored 60 years ago to preach the service.

“He (Royer) preached the fi rst sermon on the fi rst Sunday in this building in 1953,” said member Earl Smith, who claims atten-dance since before he was born via his mother. Smith put together a history board that included a pho-to of him and his Sunday school class taken in the 1970s. The board included a church history and names of members dating back to 1890, when the church was established.

Many present attended when Royer was pastor.

‘Driving Miss Daisy’ at Powell Playhouse

By Jim TumblinFountain City lost one

of its fi nest last week when James A. “Jim” Brennan passed away.

Jim was born on the fam-ily farm in the Wheat Com-munity on the border of Anderson and Roane coun-ties on Feb. 10, 1918. Later, while he was away in the service, he would learn that his parents had been given two weeks to evacuate the property to make way for what was then known as the Clinton Engineer Works, eventually as the Oak Ridge Atomic Energy Plant.

He joined the Army in 1942 and was assigned to an artillery battalion. He fi rst served in the South Pacifi c where his mortar company supported the front line troops often by fi ring on the

enemy both day and night.In his closest shave of

the entire war, his island-hopping transport ship was dive-bombed off the coast of the New Georgia Islands, a western province of the Solomon Islands northwest of Guadalcanal. The dive-bombers made one low-lev-el attack over the ship and the crew was relieved to see them fl y away without caus-ing damage. However, they soon made another attack but again somehow failed to sink his ship.

While in the Pacifi c The-ater, Jim experienced an episode of malaria which made the oppressive heat and humidity all the more intolerable. He would suf-fer from the extreme cold weather in Germany several months later.

When he returned home for the Christmas holidays in 1944, he had to inform his mother that he was be-ing sent to serve his last nine months in the campaign for the heartland of Germany and in the postwar occupa-tion army. Service in both theaters in World War II was

so rare that he never met an-other veteran who did so.

Jim had a long career as a plumber and steam fi tter for the H.K. Ferguson Company Engineers and Builders and later for the Engert Plumb-ing and Heating Company.

When he retired, Jim was able to devote more time to his work with his family’s genealogy. He was a descen-dant of James McMillan (1793-1866) who lived ad-jacent to the mansion now known as Magnolia Manor on Cedar Lane. McMillan kept a journal from 1825 to 1866 with frequent entries.

Perhaps his most signifi -cant entry appears in March 1844, in which he writes: “Planted 30 odd apple trees east of Mr. Bell west of my house also planted cedars along lane west of house

Jim Brennan passes away

(emphasis added).” Al-most 170 years later many of those trees continue to make Cedar Lane one of North Knox’s most de-lightful residential streets. Amazingly, Jim made more than 20 all-day visits to the C.M. McClung Historical Collection and transcribed the faded journal pages by hand.

James Albert Brennan passed away Sept. 21 at age 95. He was an active mem-ber of the Moulders Sunday school class at Central Bap-tist Church of Fountain City. The Brennans were also longtime members of Foun-tain City Town Hall and rarely missed a meeting.

He was interred in the new north section of Lynnhurst Cemetery, which his father-in-law, William Lack, surveyor for Holt and Lack Civil Engineers, planned when it was begun in the 1920s. He was sur-vived by his wife of 57 years, Mary Catherine Lack Bren-nan, children Jim Jr. and Donna, and sister Ruth.

When he was featured on John Becker’s “Service and Sacrifi ce” series on WBIR-TV last year, Jim Brennan’s patriotism was evident. He and the other veterans of World War II lived up to Tom Brokaw’s description of them. They were truly our Greatest Generation.

“Just when I thought I was out … they pull me back in.”

– Michael Corleone, “The Godfather: Part III”

By Betsy PickleUnlike Michael Corleone, Ernie

Roberts has no one to blame but himself. To paraphrase another mov-ie character, Ado Annie in “Oklaho-ma!,” he’s just a guy who can’t say no.

Roberts retired at the end of spring semester 2009 after 30 years of teaching – mostly math – in the Knoxville and Knox County school systems. That fall, he was asked to return to Bearden High School, where he’d taught since 1984, to fi ll in for a teacher on maternity leave. He hasn’t had a free semester since then.

“I think it’s the teamwork that I fi nd rewarding,” says Roberts. “I wind up building relationships with students, parents and fellow staff members. You can put all these forc-es together and see something very productive as a result.

“I can leave each day and feel like something has been accomplished, sometimes on a very large scale, sometimes on a small scale.”

Roberts, who started out teach-ing Spanish but ended up instructing every type of math class except cal-culus during his career, says he loves it when a student gets it and has an “aha!” moment.

“When they get excited, I feed off that energy,” he says.

This semester, Roberts teaches two morning classes in honors ge-ometry at Bearden. Each afternoon, he drives to Carter High to teach AP statistics.

Since “retiring,” he also has taught at Gibbs and Richard Yoakley while teaching almost every semester at Bearden. Sometimes he’s managed to schedule his teaching assignments in the afternoon.

“I was determined to sleep late one semester to see what it felt like to be retired,” he says. “Sleeping in – I en-joyed that.”

Born in Cincinnati, Roberts grew up in Cookeville and Raleigh, N.C., until his family returned to his father’s home-town of Knoxville when he was a sophomore. He graduated from Central High School, then went to UT where he majored in foreign-language edu-cation (Spanish) and earned a math certifi cation. He followed up with a master’s in mathematics.

He started his teaching career with three years at Fulton. The last two, he was junior-class sponsor and had to help organize the prom.

His extracurricular experience helped him dive in when he moved to Bearden. He immediately was tapped

to advise the whitewater-rafting club, which he did for three years.

Early on, Roberts was asked by then-guidance counselor Tal Hook-er to help with Key Club. The group was in a slump, but it soon took off.

“The fi rst year we had 43 mem-bers; within two to three years we had over 100,” he says. “I believe in 1995 we crossed the 200 mark. It was the fi rst time any Key Club in the history of Tennessee and Ken-

tucky Key Clubs hit 200.

“We had so many proj-ects, so many

hours. What I found was, stu-

dents want to be in a group that’s active.

It was important to be a member of that club. You’re working and help-ing other people, serving the school, serving the community.”

That’s the perfect way to describe Roberts. In addition to his school “work” – which includes announc-ing BHS basketball games and an-nouncing the graduates at com-mencement – he’s vice president of the board of the Love Kitchen, vice president of News Sentinel Chari-

ties, cohost of the raffl e tree at the Fantasy of Trees, associate drama director for the Nativity Pageant and newly elected board member of the WordPlayers.

He’s a regular cast member of the Society of Professional Journalists’ Front Page Follies, an occasional member of the Knoxville Opera Chorus, music director at Fifth Avenue Baptist Church and choir member at Central Baptist Church of Bearden. He’s on the home tour committee of Historic Old North Knoxville and is treasurer of the homeowners association in Black Mountain, N.C., where he bought a vacation home last year.

In his free time, he likes to hike and go rafting. He also acts in com-mercials and locally produced crime re-enactment shows. He’ll be seen this fall in a fi ve-episode arc of a DIY show called “Uncondemned,” which chronicles the process he and some friends went through in renovating a house in their neighborhood.

“Flexibility is the best thing going in life,” says Roberts, who was one of six fi nalists for state Teacher of the Year in 2002 and has worked on numerous curriculum revisions at the state level for Algebra I.

Roberts is back advising the Bearden Key Club again. He’s faith-ful about helping members park cars at Ronald McDonald House for every UT home football game. From 1997 through 2012, the club raised more than $105,000 for Ronald McDonald House.

“The kids get out there and pull it together, and they have fun doing it,” he says. “People like to park with us.”

He plays down his role but admits, “As a geometry teacher, I know how to arrange cars.”

Roberts says he likes to keep things fun and light in the classroom and out, but the important thing is helping students learn.

“Contrary to popular belief, stu-dents are also usually very apprecia-tive of the things you do for them,” he says. “It’s a warm feeling.”

Knoxville Mayor Madeline Rogero and Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett presented the awards. Leila was nomi-nated by her peers for her commitment to helping out in the community. The 13-year-old was one of 25 honorees at the event. She received the

Rising Star Award.“Leila volunteered

at the Knoxville Fine Arts and Crafts Center this summer,” said Lei-la’s mom, Helen. “She worked with children to help teach pottery and other crafts.” Leila also volunteered to stay af-terward to glaze the pot-tery when classes were over.

“I consider it an hon-or to recognize our local volunteers who invest their personal time and resources in service to our community,” said Mayor Rogero. “They do this simply because they care.”

By Nancy WhittakerEnthusiasm, dedica-

tion and commitment were all evident when Sandra Clark and I entered Angelic Ministries. Betsy Frazier, founder, says she was called to minister to families in crisis, “the working poor.”

Her husband, Mike, owns Knox Rail Salvage. In 2001, Mike placed a bid on the old Merita Bread fac-tory at the corner of Central Street and Oklahoma. He and Betsy agreed that she would use part of the build-ing for her warehouse and distribution center and he would use the remainder for storage. Betsy says that plan didn’t last long.

Angelic Ministries grew so rapidly that they were soon using the entire 65,000 square feet. As for the landlord, Betsy smiles

and says, “He’s never seen a dime.”

During our visit, we met some amazing people and will be sharing their stories in future editions. Tony Earl, former pastor at Oakwood Baptist, is now pastoring at Angelic Min-istries.

As Betsy and Tony gave us the grand tour, it be-came clear how much good Angelic Ministries has been doing. Last year, more than 5,000 families in crisis were helped. Bet-sy emphasized that they aren’t just giving out fur-niture, household goods, clothing, hygiene prod-ucts and food. The people who come to them must be referred by a church or agency. Angelic Minis-tries wants to help these families with immediate

needs, but they also want to help them to become inde-pendent and get jobs.

We encountered volun-teers and people working in the ministries’ enhance-ment program. We also learned how the public can help.

Pack up everything you aren’t using that is in good condition and drop off-

Monday through Thursday from 8- 4. There is a drop-off located at the Oklahoma entrance where you can also leave items on Fridays. If you need help with large items such as furniture and mattresses, call and they will pick it up. Non-perish-able food and hygiene prod-ucts are also needed.

Vascular specialists with Premier Surgical Associates are using a new type of graft to treat patients with complex abdominal aortic aneu-rysms (AAA). Surgeons Donald Akers, M.D., FACS, and C. Scott Callicutt, M.D., re-cently performed the � rst “fenes-trated” endograft implant in the East Tennessee area. The procedure was per-formed in July at Physicians Regional Medical Center in downtown Knox-ville.

The special graft has precisely posi-tioned “fenestrations” or holes through which stents may be placed to keep blood � owing to the patient’s kidneys and nearby organs.

“The device is custom-made for each patient, using a 3-D computer model generated from CT scans of the person’s anatomy,” explains Dr. Callicutt. “It takes about three months to build each one.”

During endovascular aortic aneurysm repair, a fabric-covered stent is inserted inside an aneu-rysm through two tiny incisions in the patient’s

groin. The new fenestrat-ed endograft allows min-imally invasive repair of aortic aneurysms that have previously been performed with complex open surgery.

“It’s for very select patients who previously would have been ex-cluded from minimally-invasive surgery because of their aneurysm’s prox-imity to kidney arteries,” says Dr. Akers. “This is a way to repair certain abdominal aortic aneu-

weak spot on the wall of the aorta (the body’s big-gest artery) that balloons out as it passes through the abdomen. If the an-eurysm bursts before be-ing repaired, it is often fatal. A synthetic tube-like device (graft) is used to seal off the bulge inside the blood vessel. It also reduces the pressure on the damaged area of the artery and reinforces the channel for blood � ow.

The fenestrated AAA endograft device has

received approval from the Food and Drug Administra-tion (FDA), but is being offered only at select centers with vascular surgeons specially trained in this treatment op-tion. Dr. Akers and Dr. Callicutt are in-volved in clinical tri-als for the device.

This innovative graft will allow aneu-rysm treatment for a wider category of pa-tients. “It’s for highly complicated cases that in the past would have been sent to Cleveland Clinic or other places for treat-ment,” says Dr. Callicutt. “We are pleased to offer this treatment option here in Knoxville.”

The patient who re-ceived the fenestrated graft implant from Dr. Akers and Dr. Callicutt wasn’t a candidate for traditional open sur-gery because of her age, health and the location of the grapefruit-sized aneurysm.

A renewedEast Towne Mall for allWhat’s happening at the

mall? Is it worth a visit? Wasn’t this thing up for sale a year ago? Does it have my stuff? Will I have to go to West anyway to fi nd what I really need? Is it safe to shop there?

You might be musing on some of these questions, as you brace against the crisp Fall air. You can feel your holiday shopping itch gathering force. What do you do? If you haven’t been there lately, you’re in for a pleasant surprise, with many more to come, at the renewed East Towne Mall. (OK, the sign reads: “Knox-ville Center,” but that’s just newfangled thinking to us old-timers). Wake up, Simon, it’s out East, not downtown or on Gay Street.

What’s shakin’ there? For starters, national mall op-erator Simon Properties has taken down the (fi gurative) “For Sale” sign that went up in the spring of 2012, and is committed to breathing new life into our 35-year-old business venue. The company has just placed experienced mall manager Robert O’Grady to head up its Knoxville operations.

Six months ago, Simon tagged an energetic on-site leasing manager from Nash-ville, Justin Sterling, to start fi lling in the once-empty storefronts with a broader offering for you. He is sta-tioned at the mall. Since Jus-tin’s arrival, 13 stores have been added to the 1 million square-foot mall. Several

more are in the wings.You gotta check it out!

The Mall has more than 60 stores to choose from, and already does over $100 mil-lion in annual sales. Is it 100 percent back? Not yet, but they’re working on it. And, your trade there can help it get it better. You determine store outcomes ...

So, what’s cooking? The food court is picking up steam with new offerings like Sbarro Italian food, and the creative toppings and stuffi ngs at The Burger Shop. A Chick-fi l-A might make your day. More tra-ditional sit-down dining is served by the Mandarin Chinese restaurant and a new buffet restaurant (ru-mored to be Farmers Fam-ily Restaurant) may be on the way.

Jewelry lovers will be pleased by the greatly ex-panded offerings at Signa-ture Diamonds, displayed in their 4,700 square-foot store. Or maybe that spe-cial gift is at Jewel Palace or Prince Jewelers.

Fitness gurus can take advantage of expanded fea-tures at long-term tenant, The Rush. And smartphone junkies will fi nd the 1,750 square-foot Verizon store or U.S. Cellular with a substan-tial presence at the mall.

Need a prom dress or tuxedo? They got ’em. A medical or dental need? Yes, that’s there, too. In fact, the mall has a health care convenience theme that runs from traditional GNC supplements to convenience medical services under one roof. Select your new, funky eyeglasses at Lenscrafters, while you shop for the kids’ gifts (no peeking!).

For entertainment, catch a new movie release at the Regal Cinemas. Or get a cool skateboard or game at mall specialty stores. There are also new shops like the

Retailers look at sales num-bers and ROI (return on investment) in making lo-cation decisions. The lower rental per square foot here is enticing for businesses, new and old.

Business is expanding: four more retail stores are slated to open in October. As foot traffi c improves, so will the mix of stores. Exte-rior property improvements are being budgeted by the parent company, and tenant leasing efforts are moving forward daily.

Additionally, some 800 to 1,500 workers are em-ployed at the mall (some work is seasonal). You are not just shopping locally, you are creating jobs and generating income and tax revenue at the same time. So what’s not to like?

Is it safe? Mall security and parking lot patrols are much improved. KPD fi g-ures show that crime is low, indeed, lower than most shopping centers locally and around the country.

There is plenty of parking and varied merchandise to choose from, lots of conve-niences at the mall. Hey, if Belk’s doesn’t have the dress or blouse you are looking for – don’t grind your molars. Tell the store manager right then. Let ’em know what you want! They need you and will adjust their mer-chandise to please you, the customer. Capisce? You are in charge.

Think positive! Your shopping trip will help our mall grow. “Make it so!”Nick Della Volpe represents District 4 on

Knoxville City Council.

High and Pickett Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery expandsNEWS FROM HIGH AND PICKETT ORAL AND MAXILLOFACIAL SURGERY

By Anne Hart

With the recent addition of Dr. David O. Pickett, the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery practice of Dr. William R. High, founded in West Knoxville almost 35 years ago, has seen a dramatic transfor-mation.

And there has been another kind of growth as well. The fi rst week in September the practice opened new offi ces in a much larger space on the top fl oor at 248 North Peters Rd., next door to its previous location.

Patients are delighted with the new site, which offers a spacious and beautifully decorated recep-tion area as cozy and comfortable as any home, and plenty of convenient parking right at the door.

Dr. High has always been known for the quality of his work and also for his attention to every detail of

patient care and with the addition of Dr. Pickett, patients will fi nd the same level of care. The practice specializes in wisdom teeth, dental implants, bone grafts, extractions, TMJ treatment, biopsies and facial reconstruction. Dr. Pickett will be introducing cosmetic surgery and BOTOX injections to the practice’s menu of services.

Dr. High and Dr. Pickett also maintain trauma services at UT Medical Center, East Tennessee Children’s Hospital, and Ft. Sand-ers Parkwest Hospital and enjoy the challenges this entails. Both doctors proudly wear the UT Medical Cen-ter’s Guardian Angel pins, indicat-ing that patients have donated to the Center in their honor.

Dr. Pickett is a native of Utah who holds both undergraduate and graduate degrees in microbiology

from Brigham Young University. He graduated from the University of Florida College of Dentistry in 2009 and received specialty training in Oral and Maxillofacial surgery at UT Medical Center, where one of his professors was Dr. High.

Dr. Pickett says he came to the profession of dentistry naturally. His Dad is a dentist in Utah, “and I grew up working in the back.” Dr. Pickett and his wife, Erin, have a son and two daughters.

He says the decision to move to Knoxville was an easy one. “It seems like a family-oriented town – a good place to raise a family. We’re very happy here.”

Offi ce hours for High and Pick-ett Oral and Maxillofacial Sur-gery are 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Mon-day through Friday, 691-0918. The website is being updated and will be available soon.

and Maxillofacial Surgery. Standing, from left, Misty Seal,

Art-a-palooza goes inside By Cindy Taylor

There is no doubt that the inclement weather Sept. 21 was to blame for a smaller-than-expected crowd at the Fountain City Art Center Art-a-palooza. Still, those who braved the constant drizzle were treated to fabulous art and entertainment.

The three-day fall festival ran Sept. 19-21 and drew crowds on Thursday and Friday for indoor events. Most outdoor events were cancelled on Saturday due to the weather. Many featured artists were still in attendance in-side the art center and the entertainment was fabulous.

Folks could enjoy a lunch of barbecue, drink and chips for only $5 while browsing and listening to artists such as classical guitarist Phil Weaver and national dulcimer champion Tim Simek.

NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

Fort Sanders Cardiac Surgery earns 3-Star Award

For the second time in a row, Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center earned a 3-Star Award from the Society of Thoracic Surgeons.

For the most recent analysis of national data from January 2012 through December 2012, Fort Sanders’ performance was again in the highest quality tier. This

national designation means that Fort Sanders is among the top 10 percent of cardiac surgery centers in the United States, based on a complex set of measurements considering severity of illness, complications from surgery, hospital stay and overall outcomes afterward.

“In Washington, they consider this the gold standard for looking at how well cardiac surgery programs do,” said cardiothoracic surgeon Dr. Lacy Harville. “It’s great that we got this, but it really speaks to the dedication of the

whole heart team.” Harville explained that it takes

dozens of staff members, from surgeons and nurses to technicians and staff, to care for each patient.

“It’s just all of us, taking care of patients,” Harville said. “We have put a lot of processes in place to get better and better at what we do, and minimize the likelihood of problems occurring.”

The award focused on coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, commonly called “cabbage.” It is a surgical procedure in which arteries or veins from other parts

“We have put a lot of processes in place to get better and better at what we do.” – Dr. Lacy Harville

of the body are grafted onto heart arteries to bypass blockages.

It is a very detailed surgery, and many things can go wrong, said Harville.

“If you do enough high risk surgery, which heart surgery is, you’re not always going to have a

great outcome,” he said. “So you want someone with a great batting average, and Fort Sanders is really good at all positions.”

“You have to look at more than just numbers, but patients are invery good hands at Fort Sanders.”

Sara Gray Mackin, Joe Mackin and their 13 year old bulldog, CB

Feeling tired and out of breath, Joe Mackin of Knox-ville, 69, mentioned those symptoms to his endocri-nologist during a routine visit in July for his Type 2 diabetes.

“Now that I’m looking back on it, you see things much clearer. If you’ve got Type 2 diabetes, you’ve got to pay attention because it can lead to heart problems,” Mackin said.

The doctor talked him into having a stress test on his heart, which measures blood fl ow to the heart mus-cle at rest and during exer-cise.

“I fl unked it,” said Mackin. “Then they did an angiogram in cardiologist Dr. (George M.) Krisle’s offi ce, to look inside my veins. I fl unked that, too. I was 100 percent clogged on my main artery, and the other two were 75 to 80 percent blocked.”

After that, the best course of action was coro-nary bypass surgery, also called Coronary Artery By-pass Grafting (CABG). Dur-ing this surgery, a healthy piece of vein is taken from the leg or other area of the body and is grafted onto the blocked coronary artery to “bypass” the blockage.

CABG requires cutting through the chest wall. It’s major surgery and requires weeks of recovery time.

Knowing that, Mackin struck a bargain with his doctors.

“Well I had already planned to go to my sis-

Knoxville man fi nds the right answer at Fort Sanders Regional

ter’s wedding in Chicago,” he said. “I told them, ‘Look, I’ve made it this far. I’d like to go to Mackinac Island for the wedding.’

“But I was pretty careful. I got a packet of nitroglyc-

erin for the trip,” he said. Nitroglycerin dilates blood vessels and is used in emer-gencies to improve blood fl ow to the heart.

Off he went, enjoying the wedding in Michigan. When

he got back, Mackin headed straight for Fort Sanders and heart surgery on July 25 with his cardiothoracic sur-geon Dr. Lacy Harville.

The surgery went smoothly, even though

Mackin had a slight setback after surgery.

“There was a nurse named Michelle on my fl oor, and she picked up before anybody else that I had wa-ter in my lungs because of

her acute ears and stetho-scope,” he said.

“She was able to correct it, she was outstanding. Itmight have turned into early stage pneumonia, but they treated it very quickly.”

Mackin was in the hospi-tal fi ve days. After returning home, he started heart re-habilitation sessions at FortSanders, which he continues today.

“It’s a great program be-cause they really know what they’re doing. I’m doing a very responsible three-pronged attack of exercise, better diet and lower stress,”said Mackin.

Plus, he said he is taking care of his diabetes moreclosely. “Before, I knew a lotof information but I didn’tpay attention to it. I didn’twatch my diabetes closely enough,” he said.

Mackin said he would recommend Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center to anyone who needs cardiaccare.

“It was a top-notch ex-perience, triple A,” he said.“From the doctor all the way down to the people who took care of the room and cleaned it up, everybody was tremendous.

“They really seem to have a commitment to total care, starting with surgery andcontinuing with the post-surgery care. A lot of times you don’t know what you’re getting into until you get there,” said Mackin. “I just feel very fortunate I got the right people.”

The Knoxville Zoo re-cently tapped some unusual talent for its latest fundrais-er, Art Gone Wild.

The animals themselves – including rhinos, rac-coons, beavers, penguins, elephants, zebras, gibbons, chimpanzees, gorillas, ba-boons, lions, tigers, red pandas and a variety of reptiles – did the paintings, which were then offered to art enthusiasts from all over East Tennessee.

Tina Rolen, assistant di-rector of marketing for the zoo, said that proceeds will go toward funding the zoo’s enrichment program, which focuses on the animals’ complete well-being. Daily mental and physical stimu-lation is provided by the use of interesting objects, scents

Art Gone Wild at the Knoxville Zoo

West Knoxville residents Rebekah and Heyward Baxter pose with downtown residents Marcus

Goodreau, Carrie Sorensen and Jacob Price. It was a fi rst visit for all but they’re looking forward

to next year.

These zebras may look like they’re eating, but they’re actually

painting. Treats in the dish guide their noses to the paint.

Barbara Brower, who works in development, poses beside

her spectacular cake made for the occasion. She also does

cakes for family birthdays and special events, but resists going

professional. “I have to have a connection to the recipient,” she

says, “or it’s not any fun.”Photos by Carol Zinavage

Stephen Nelson, herpetolo-

gist at the Knoxville Zoo,

shows off a beautiful Angolan

python.

A Burmese star tortoise seems more interest-

ed in getting out of his pool than working on

his painting. “They’re pretty good escape art-

ists!” says herpetologist Stephen Nelson.

Zoo volunteers Gail and Joe Clift of Halls pose with Jumbe

the giraff e in the background. Gail works with birds and often

attends special events to talk about them and show them off .

and foods, and training and painting sessions.

The program has the added benefi t of improving the success of breeding pro-grams.

There’s only one prob-lem, says Leigh Rickey, who works with the great apes.

“The chimps like to eat the paint.”Send story suggestions to news@
