By Cindy TaylorThe Powell Playhouse production of “Ev-

erybody Loves Opal” played to sold-out au-diences at every performance. Some patrons came to honor playhouse founder Nita Buell Black, who passed away Feb. 27 – opening day. Others who attended didn’t know Black but had heard of the comedy and brilliant acting and were excited to see the play. No one was disappointed.

“We will always miss Nita,” said stage manager Carly Johnson. “But this is not our last performance. The Powell Playhouse will go on in her memory.”

The cast and crew dedicated the play to Black. A single white slip-covered chair sat stage left during performances in memory of the one who had touched the lives of so many, including the performers in the last play s he cast.

McMillan has documented storm-water violations at the Shannon-dale School construction site, and he’s asking offi cials to correct them.

Superintendent Dr. Jim Mc-Intyre said he is reviewing McMil-lan’s concerns with contractors and “will take appropriate action.”

Mayor Madeline Rogero said she would ask staff to review his complaints and respond.

Just a breath of air and fewer headaches. That’s all Mae Jacks wanted.

But when the Heiskell grand-mother broke her nose in a fall last September, she had no idea that the injury would lead to a chain of events that would not only give her back the ability to breathe freely, but also eliminate her mi-graines, stop her snoring, and re-turn the sense of smell and taste she thought was gone for good.

“I wasn’t looking for a miracle, but it looks like I got one,” said Jacks less than a month after Dr. Mark Overholt performed a sep-toplasty and balloon sinuplasty under general anesthesia at Park-west Medical Center.

It took about a half hour for Overholt to perform the operation in which he not only straightened Jacks’ deviated septum, but also used a catheter to deploy a nonla-tex balloon into her sinus passage to open up her nasal airway.

Her breathing improved almost immediately.

And within a week of the sur-gery, Jacks said, her long-forgot-ten sense of smell returned. “I knew this had to be sinus-related because I used to have a great sense of smell,” she said. “But it had gotten to where I couldn’t smell at all. Now I look forward

to things like when someone says, ‘Let’s have a big dinner.’ Before, I would go, ‘Yeah, yeah’ because I liked to cook. But now, my joy is back because I can smell the food again. I teased Dr. Overholt that now I have to watch what and how much I eat now because every-thing tastes so good!”

Of course, the restored sense of smell also means that she can again detect those less-than-

pleasant odors her husband brings into the house from his workshop.

“If I’m in the living room and he comes in through the garage, he can’t even get into the house be-fore I’ll be telling him, ‘You smell like gasoline!’ ” Jacks laughed. “He’s fascinated that I can smell things again. He got away with it for years.”

While the restored sense of taste and smell were unexpected gifts, Jacks is elated that she can now breathe easily and has not had a migraine headache since the surgery. She had battled the head-aches for years, but they had be-come worse over the last fi ve.

The headaches, usually cen-tered on the right side of her head and accompanied by nausea, were so bad that she would retreat to bed. “I would just ice it, just freeze it,” she said. “It was the only way I could fall asleep. My husband would ask, ‘Is there anything I can do for you?’ And I would say, ‘No, it’s just got to run its course.’ And I probably took too many antibi-otics because of it and that’s not good for you either.”

In fact, Jacks says the years-long search for an answer to her re-curring sinus infections and head-aches was an exasperating journey fi lled with decongestants, antihis-tamines, phenegren and over-the-

counter migraine medicine.Most often she found herself in

an allergist’s offi ce. “I took allergy shots for many years, and they would give me medicine for my si-nuses and stuff. They would try to change my medicine, and a couple of times they would do a CT scan,” she said. “But they always said, ‘Your sinuses look fi ne.’ Of course, they were not fi ne.”

She even quit wearing her CPAP machine because she felt that it was contributing to her sinus in-fections. Of course, now that she’s had the surgery, she feels she no longer needs it, particularly since her snoring is gone.

Ironically, it took a fall and a broken nose for her to fi nd relief. Overholt says it will take about six weeks for Jacks to fully recover from her surgery because the sep-toplasty requires follow-up offi ce visits to keep the nasal passages clear of scabbing. Had she only re-quired balloon sinuplasty, Jacks’ recovery would only have been about two days.

Regardless, she’s happy with the outcome.

“I got a lot more out of this procedure than I ever thought possible,” she says with a laugh. “I thought I was going to have to endure these headaches the rest of my life.”

Mark Overholt, M.D. reports

that balloon sinus dilation is an

increasingly preferred choice among

patients searching for a minimally-

invasive choice with a fast recovery. Much like angioplasty opens coronary

arteries, balloon sinuplasty utilizes a

nonlatex balloon to open the sinuses.

Once the balloon is defl ated and

removed, the sinus is clear to drain. Illustration courtesy of Entellus.

Nasal steroids. Nasal antihist-maines. Decongestants and anti-biotics.

If all these things are in your medicine cabinet and you’re still battling recurring sinusitis, Dr. Mark Overholt says you may want to consider balloon sinuplasty.

Much like angioplasty opens coronary arteries, balloon sinu-plasty utilizes a nonlatex balloon to open the sinuses. First approved by the Food and Drug Administra-tion in 2005, the balloon is deliv-ered via a small catheter up the nasal passageway where it is gently infl ated to widen sinuses closed by swelling and infl ammation. Once the balloon is defl ated and re-moved, the sinus is clear to drain.

“It’s a neat procedure. I was dubious when I fi rst started,” said Overholt, an otolaryngologist with Parkwest Medical Center. “I said I would have to see the data and fi nd out whether this is real or not.”

That data, collected via a three-year randomized, controlled trial sponsored by Entellus Medical, was overwhelmingly convincing. Looking at placebo, traditional endoscopic sinus surgery and balloon sinuplasty at six-month, one-year and three-year intervals, the study concluded that balloon sinuplasty not only works in most cases, but also lessens the risk of recurrence.

“The way to look at balloon sinuplasty is that it’s another tool,” said Overholt. “It forces us to look at our sinus patients in a little dif-ferent manner. There is a patient population that, in the past, may have been under-treated in an at-tempt to not be overly aggressive.

Mae Jacks describes balloon

sinuplasty as “a miracle.” An

unexpected side eff ect of the

surgery for Jacks is that her sense of

smell returned.

Heiskell woman breathes easy after balloon sinuplasty Sinusitis symptomsSinusitis – also known as

rhinosinusitis – is an infl am-mation of the tissue lining of the sinuses that affl icts mil-lions of people each year.

Common symptoms ■ Facial congestion/fullness ■ Nasal obstruction/blockage ■ Nasal discharge ■ Fever ■ Headaches ■ Fatigue ■ Dental pain ■ Bad breathNormally, sinuses are fi lled

with air, but when sinuses be-come blocked and fi lled with fl uid, pathogens (bacteria, viruses and fungi) can grow and cause an infection. Struc-tural issues such as narrowed drainage anatomy are often associated with sinusitis.

Aff ected sinusesThere are four types of si-

nuses – maxillary (behind the cheek bones), ethmoid (between the eyes), frontal (in the forehead) and sphenoid (behind the eyes). All of these sinuses can be affected by si-nusitis. The majority of cases involve the maxillary and eth-moid sinuses.

Now, we have another tool in our toolbox to help treat those people.”

Overholt says many are pre-scribed steroids, antihistamines, decongestants and antibiotics by primary care physicians hesitant to steer patients to a surgical solution.

“In many of those cases, I would imagine that the balloon proce-dures would eliminate their ill-nesses – put them back in the nor-mal population,” said Overholt.

While the success rate of sinu-plasty vs. traditional sinus surgery is virtually identical, the sinu-plasty patients recover 70 percent faster, require little debridement or removal of cut or damaged tis-sue (8 percent vs. 74 percent) and

feel better faster (59 percent vs. 38 percent).

Perhaps even more telling is that balloon sinuplasty can some-times be performed in the doc-tor’s offi ce under local anesthesia.

“In the past, when we’ve done sinus operations, we had to take patients to the operating room to do them. But one of the nice things about this new balloon procedure is that it opens up potential for us to do offi ce procedures for people in some circumstances,” said Overholt. “We still do a fair number of these in the op-erating room, some of which is because they are paired with other proce-dures which require general anesthesia. But this is some-thing that will offer a patient an opportunity to do some offi ce-based procedures as well. It’s nice because it’s minimally invasive. From a patient’s perspective, re-covery is super quick. When you do the balloon procedure, you are just dilating up the natural drain-age pathway, or ostium, that God put there to allow the sinuses to ventilate.”

Another major benefi t of the balloon sinuplasty, Overholt said, is the lack of recurring infections.

“By dilating that area, you are

not subject to recurring infections like you were before because when you got an allergy attack or a cold or fl u in the past, if you had a real-ly narrow neck that was ventilat-ing the sinus cavity, just a little bit of swelling would close it off and leave the potential for a second-ary infection,” he explained. “But now, if you balloon dilate it, there is a much more of a safety mar-

gin. So if you get a cold or an allergy attack or something, you are open enough that you probably won’t obstruct that area with just normal swelling so you don’t have that secondary risk of developing a sinus infection as frequently as you did before.”

That’s not to say, however, that the bal-loon sinuplasty

is the end-all answer for all sinus sufferers. In fact, certain sinus conditions disqualify a patient from balloon sinuplasty.

“It’s not for everybody,” said Overholt, adding that patients who have chronic infections of the ethmoid sinuses between the eyes and patients with polyps are not eligible for the balloon procedure.

“The ethmoid sinus is just out-side the path of normal surgery,” he explained, showing a diagram of how the ethmoid sinus is ana-

tomically inaccessible. “If you havechronic sinus infection up here, di-lating this area doesn’t do anything for that … that requires a tradition-al operation to clean out the littlehoneycombed air cells in the eth-moid cavity that lead to recurringor chronic infection in people.”

Polyps, Overholt said, actually form because of recurring infec-tions which infl ame the sinuses and cause swelling. “We used to think that was probably allergy-driven but most people who havepolyps just have a very hyperac-tive immune system,” he said. “They have an inability to regulateinfl ammation in the sinus cavity.As a result, as their immune sys-tem runs amok trying to fi ght off invaders, it creates super swelling in the sinus tissue and these little sac-like clusters of swelling that we call polyps, and those polyps endup being physical obstructions of the sinus cavity. They will hold in-fectious material back in the sinus cavity and prevent you from clear-ing. And balloon sinuplasty simply doesn’t get rid of the polyps.”

Former City Council member Chris Woodhull has moved to the Chatta-nooga area, where he lives in Lookout Mountain, Ga., although he maintains his domicile here in Knoxville.

Over coffee recently, Woodhull, 54, told this writer that he continues to host “Improvisations” on Friday nights for WUOT; he started doing it before he left council in December 2011. “I grew up with jazz,” he says. He comes to Knox-ville weekly to tape the show on the UT campus.

He also does consult-ing work with Richmont Graduate University, which has sites in both Atlanta and Chattanooga. He is the director of Build Me a World, which can be found at www.buildmeaworld.com and is in a partnership with Fancy Rhino productions.

He’s glad he served on City Council as an at-large member for eight years but calls his performance “underwhelming.”

“I could have been better prepared for the life of a politician. Meetings often seemed artifi cial.”

He described colleagues Mark Brown and Bob Beck-er as “good friends.” He said he would not have run for a third term even if the City Charter had permitted it, but after eight years on council he thinks the mayor should be allowed to seek a third term because it is dif-fi cult to accomplish much in only eight years.

Woodhull said he was “glad to have been the deciding vote in choosing Knoxville’s fi rst African-American mayor (Daniel Brown).” The other four were Marilyn Roddy, Dan-iel Brown, Becker and Joe Bailey. Each was the decid-ing vote on a 5-4 vote on a

nine-member council. ■ The “Ed and Bob

Show,” which used to be on WNOX, may appear on Knox County Commis-sion starting Sept. 1 if Bob Thomas and Ed Brantley are elected to the commis-sion’s two at-large seats. Brantley is opposed by Michelle Carringer, and Thomas is unopposed.

Brantley says he and Thomas did not always agree on the “Ed and Bob Show.” Thomas is seen as a person (one of several) who may run for county mayor in 2018 when Tim Burchett’s second and fi nal term ends.

■ The contest be-tween Ed Shouse and Craig Leuthold for the GOP nom-ination for county trustee will be hard fought. It revives memories of Black Wednesday, when County Commission disgraced itself with backroom deals naming each other and family members to various county positions.

Leuthold named his father, Frank, to his own seat. He also voted to install Fred Sisk as county trustee. Sisk then turned around a few weeks later and increased Leuthold’s salary by 44 percent (ac-cording to NS editor Jack McElroy’s column), making it an expensive thank-you for county taxpayers.

■ Events in Ukraine change daily, and the ulti-mate outcome is uncertain. Having lived in Poland from 2004 to 2009, I had a front-row seat observing how Ukraine freed itself from the former Soviet Union and moved haltingly toward democracy and economic vitality.

The Putin-inspired occu-pation of Crimea is another major setback to Ukraine. Poland, rightfully, remains deeply concerned about developments there and wonders how steadfast the United States will be over the long term in restor-ing Ukraine’s territorial integrity.

By Sara BarrettWhen Rep. John J. Dun-

can Jr. stepped off a plane in Knoxville from Washing-ton, D.C., he went straight to Barnes Barbershop in East Knoxville for impor-tant business. His grand-son, Zane Jr., was getting his fi rst haircut.

“You can solve the prob-lems of this country better here than in Congress,” said Duncan of the barbershop on Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue. He took off his suit jacket before settling down in the barber chair with Zane Jr. on his lap.

“The tradition of Barnes Barbershop has been go-

ing on for a long time in our family,” said Duncan.

A young Jimmy Duncan was taken there by his dad, the late John Duncan Sr., in the late 1940s for his first haircut. He became a regular and took his son Zane there for his first trim. Barnes opened in the 1920s and is still operated by the same family.

Barber Debbie Barnes kept the shop’s basket of lollipops handy as she snipped the split ends from Zane Jr.’s mane. The hair-cut lasted about seven min-utes and his mom, Hallie, saved some locks in an en-velope as a souvenir.

She is critical of Common Core State Standards and says she would not have voted to extend McIntyre’s contract.

Fourth District incum-bent Lynne Fugate is one of schools superintendent James McIntyre’s strongest allies. She is in her second year as school board chair and is seeking to be elected to a second term.

Fugate is sitting pretty, money-wise, reporting a balance-on-hand of nearly $18,000 at the end of the last reporting period, on Jan. 31. Her list of fi nan-cial supporters is long and impressive, studded with the names of some of Knox-ville’s most powerful citi-zens. She raised much of her war chest at a January fun-draiser at the home of Ann Haslam Bailey, including a $1,000 contribution from James Haslam II, also a strong McIntyre supporter.

This is not a staggering

sum by national standards but is enormous compared with opponents Sally Ab-sher and Jeffrey Scott Clark, who were exempt from fi ling detailed fi nancial disclo-sures because they received and spent less than $1,000.

Fugate is local market executive for SmartBank and served as executive director of Nine Counties, One Vision, a regional planning initiative launched in January 2000. Her two sons attended West High School, and she has served as president of the West High School Foundation.

When teachers showed up to air their complaints about McIntyre’s methods at the January County Com-mission meeting, clad in red for solidarity, Fugate chose a seat between McIntyre and his chief of staff, Russ Oaks. She did not wear red.

Clark is a fi rst-time can-didate and a political un-known – at least to this re-porter. He has not returned phone calls, and there is

The Knox County Board of Zoning Appeals meeting last month was a baptism by fi re for a reporter learning a new beat.

Lesson No. 1: Eat be-fore the meeting.

I’m only half joking. The meeting ran four-plus hours. The big daddy was neighbors’ appeal of devel-oper John Huber’s proposed Westland Cove marina and 312-unit, four-story apart-ment buildings near Sink-ing Creek.

After roughly eight hours of discussion over two meetings, the board voted. And that’s when the trouble began. Motions to deny an appeal are a reverse nega-tive – like trying to read the cereal box in a mirror.

King and Huber swamped Wayne Kline, particularly at the January meeting, with facts. Kline rebounded during the second show-down, but his voice shook at times with emotion. King remained composed, even when audience members started shouting at him.

A majority of BZA com-missioners set out to reject John Huber’s development; instead, it was affi rmed. (Huber said later he’s likely to appeal to Chancery Court to reinstate the marina, but it’s full speed ahead on the apartments.) Fatigue had to factor in the confusion, as did the “no means yes” quirks in the motion.

Oh, by the way. BZA com-missioners don’t get paid.

Up jumped lawyer John King, representing Huber.

“The motion has failed. In order for the appellant to be successful, you must produce fi ve positive votes.” Deputy Law Director Daniel Sanders agreed.

Kevin Murphy moved to overrule MPC and kill the marina. His motion passed, 5-3. (Murphy, Car-son Dailey, Bill Sewell,

Frank Rimshaw and chair John Schoonmaker voted yes. Smith, Markus Chady and Cynthia Stancil voted no. Cindy Buttry, who had missed the January meet-ing, recused herself.)

Murphy wanted to amend the 20 conditions MPC had attached to the apartments’ approval but said he couldn’t do it on the spot. He moved to overturn MPC’s use on review. This motion failed 3-5, which meant MPC’s approval of the apartments was upheld.

It seems a “no” vote ac-tually meant “yes,” even if most people in the room ex-pected further debate. Com-missioners sat in stunned silence while Huber and King packed up and left.

I’ll say this in a soft voice: There isn’t enough happi-ness in Richard Pickens’ life.

The Ol’ Vol has an assort-ment of problems. Some, estrangement from family, for example, he brought on himself. Some descended on him like a dark cloud.

Since retiring as a rail-road executive, he’s been in the fourth quarter for what seems like a long time. It could be he is in overtime. He has supposedly been di-agnosed with “amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and second-ary frontal temporal demen-tia with pseudobulbar palsy.”

Since my medical exper-tise is in bruises and abra-sions, this is out of my pay grade. Some old teammates are convinced the affl iction goes back to too many hits with the helmet, too many concussions treated with smelling salts.

Pickens was a Tennessee fullback in 1966-68, part battering ram, part bowling ball, leading rusher in the Southeastern Conference as

Pickens is a Vol for life

Several fans embrace the idea. Alas, their lasting com-mitments sometimes fl uctu-ate, depending on Saturday scores.

With former players, it tends to be real. Ol’ Vols hang in there. There is a genuine bond. Former tackle Jerry Holloway has a mailing list of hundreds who share the ups and downs, fi shing tales, obituaries, anniversaries, accomplishments by chil-dren and grandchildren, news of knee replacements, and other hard-earned aches and pains.

They remain bound to-gether by fellowship, loyalty and the color orange.

Pickens was the focal point of such love last week. Distinguished artist Alex-ander Dumas initiated it.

As the story goes, Pickens commissioned a painting 15 or 20 years ago of a favor-ite play. When he came to claim the fi nished product, it wouldn’t fi t inside his Volk-swagen.

“Later” was somehow forgotten and Dumas fi led his handiwork in a stack of other treasures. He found it

in time for the current art exhibition at Clarity Pointe. Of course it was a delightful surprise for Pickens.

Ol’ Vols and several others shared in the celebration. A fun time was had by all.

Blessings on the good man Dumas, an unexpected ray of sunshine in Richard Pickens’ life.

Full disclosure: Alexan-der Dumas once gave me a print of his very best snow leopard. I thought it was Smithsonian quality.Marvin West invites reader reaction. His address is westwest6@netzero.com.

He earned a law degree, played a large role in build-ing the framework for the Tennessee Valley Fair, might have helped found the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and became a local household name selling cars, once taking a cow as partial payment for a Studebaker.

Meet Claude S. Reeder, who was born on July 14, 1886, in Knoxville, the son of Columbus Alexander and Adelia Hodges Reeder. Co-lumbus Reeder was a prom-inent Knox County farmer and held several political offi ces in the county, includ-ing sheriff from 1876 to ’80.

Claude graduated from old Girls High School, the predecessor of Knoxville High School, and enrolled at UT, where he played half-back on the football team and also lettered in basket-ball and track. He received his bachelor’s degree in elec-trical engineering in 1908 and promptly enrolled in the College of Law. Although he never practiced, he felt the knowledge enhanced his skills in business.

On June 10, 1909, Claude married Ella McKee Dur-ham (1886-1982). They had four children: Claude S. Jr., John Alexander, Richard Durham and Betty McKee (Houston).

Col. Reeder fi rst worked as a clerk in the Knox Coun-ty Tax Assessor’s offi ce but

later resigned to found the Cherokee Motor Co., the lo-cal seller of Studebakers.

He earned his nickname “Tradin’ Claude” when he advertised, “We trade for anything but a rattlesnake.” His photograph with the cow taken as partial pay-ment made the local papers and was picked up by the national NEA news service.

A promoter of the Ap-palachian Exposition in 1910 – the forerunner of the Tennessee Valley Agricul-tural and Industrial Fair – Reeder remained interested in the fair throughout his life. There were many good years and some very lean ones, but eventually that fair became the “father” of the Tennessee Valley Fair.

An apocryphal story, to which many lend credence, credits Reeder for infl uenc-ing Gov. Austin Peay to take an interest in efforts to es-tablish the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. As the two sat on the porch of Reeder’s summer home in Kinzel Springs, Claude said, “Governor, these mountains would make the fi nest sce-nic park in the world. Why don’t you ask the legislature to acquire the land?”

Coincidence or not, in 1925 the legislature enacted the Little River Lumber Co. Purchase Act, one of the fi rst moves toward estab-lishing the park.

Tradin’ Claude’s remarkable life

Late in life, Reeder cal-culated that he had served on 47 corporate boards over the years including: chair of Reeder Chevrolet Co.; chair of Cherokee Oil Co., which he founded in 1928; direc-tor of White Star Bus Lines; chair of several Seven-Up bottling companies (Wash-ington, D.C., Rochester, N.Y., Richmond, Va., and Winston-Salem, Asheville and Charlotte, N.C.); presi-dent of Morris Plan Bank; president of the East Ten-nessee Fair Association; and president of Lynnhurst-Resthaven Cemetery Co.

Lynnhurst Cemetery had been established in 1922, when its fi rst presi-dent, James Lyle Humphrey (1870-1925), bought the initial acreage west of First Creek near Greenway. Soon, the property north of Adair Drive was purchased from the Sanders estate, heirs to a portion of the original Adair land grant. Later, with Claude Reeder as president, the corporation bought the old mill property near the cemetery entrance from O.W. Sweat. Reeder presided over the corporation from 1929 until 1938, when he was succeeded by W.B. Hatcher.

Reeder also owned Park Amusement Company, which operated rides and concessions at Chilhowee Park. His real-estate hold-ings included several U.S.

Post Offi ce buildings, which he leased to the government.

In addition, he served in many civic and fraternal or-ganizations: the Knoxville Kiwanis Club, Elks Lodge (life member), the Masons (32nd Degree), Kerbela Tem-ple, Chamber of Commerce (director), the Wonderland Park Club and Cherokee Country Club. He and Ella were also active at Church Street Methodist Church.

He loved the outdoors and particularly enjoyed hunting and fi shing with his friend W.R. Kennerly. They often went to South Dakota for pheasant and to Canada for moose and deer hunting and muskellunge fi shing. In ad-dition to the summer home in Kinzel Springs, where the community considered him the honorary mayor, the Reeders later enjoyed a win-ter home in Fort Myers, Fla. When Norris Dam was built and the lake impounded,

R e e d e r built a lodge on the lake-shore, where his personal friend, Army Gen. Mark Clark, was a guest.

But, most of all, he en-joyed his old family home place, 316 W. Hill Ave., currently the site of the City County Building. The picture window in his den overlooked the Tennes-see River (Fort Loudoun Lake). A mounted buffalo head hung over the great stone fi replace, while other trophies of pheasant, elk, Rocky Mountain sheep and game fi sh were hung around the room.

Col. Reeder suffered a fatal heart attack while at-tending a reception in hon-or of Sen. Herbert S. “Hub” Walters in Morristown on Oct. 17, 1964. Knoxville Mayor John Duncan had asked him to read a procla-

mation and present the keys to the city of Knoxville to Walters.

After services at Mann’s Mortuary, he was interred in the Reeder Mausoleum in Lynnhurst Cemetery. He was survived by his wife, Ella Durham Reeder; a daughter Betty (Jack) Hous-ton; two sons, Claude Jr. and Richard D.; four sisters, Wanda C. (Roy) Roth, Fay T. (James) Dempster, Mary J. (Roscoe) Word and Elma P. (Howard E.) McClellan; brothers Columbus A. “Lum” Reeder and Ross Reeder; 10 grandchildren; and fi ve great-grandchildren.

a senior, 736 tough yards, then the most by a Vol since Hank Lauricella in 1951.

Going back to Young High School, Pick was never a tip-toe runner. He was nimble and quick but did not rely on fancy moves. He butted peo-ple who got in his way, broke many tackles and probably created some running lanes with intimidation.

Pickens still “plays” foot-ball with his wonderful col-lection of friends who (oc-casionally) stop by his home at Clarity Pointe in Farragut. Sometimes they just talk about big plays, magic mo-ments, precious memories that need to be refreshed. Sometimes they watch old games on Vol Network DVDs. Sometimes they and Richard

go places, to lunch or to see things, and talk some more, going and coming.

Mike Miller, Mike March-ant, Larry Brown, Randy Webb, Van Fillingim, Sam Venable and Bobby Wag-goner have been part of this support system.

Dick Williams, Charlie Rosenfelder and Dewey Warren are in the informal group. There may be a doz-en others. Jim McDonald, a teammate at Young High and UT, is a mainstay. He manages Pickens’ pensions and fi nancial matters.

McDonald and Pickens go back to the beginning. Their competition to see which was best probably made both better. That their rela-tionship has lasted so long provides a peek into some-thing called “Vol for Life.”

That smart term was created as a recruiting tool to help convince prep pros-pects that Tennessee play-ers are all in this together, once a Vol always a Vol, for-ever and ever, amen.

A capable wife who can fi nd? She is far more pre-cious than jewels. Strength and dignity are her clothing … Her children rise up and call her happy; her husband too, and he praises her… Many women have done excel-lently, but you surpass them all. Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. Give her a share in the fruit of her hands, and let her works praise her in the city gates.

(Proverbs 31, selected verses)

Graduation

I have always taken a dim view of people who use eu-phemisms for death: pass-ing away, gone to glory, gone to his reward, etc. I was of the opinion that it was an attempt to avoid the truth, which is bluntly and unavoid-ably, “She died.” I thought people should just say so.

When the phone call came, at an hour on a Sat-urday morning when no one makes a phone call for a friendly chat, I knew what it was. I was already up and getting dressed to go see my mother in the nursing home.

We had known for several days that the end of her jour-ney was near. The last time I had seen her, just days be-fore, I knew that it was a mat-ter of weeks, possibly days.

I answered the phone and the gentle voice on the other end of the line said, “Lynn, your mother passed this morning.”

There it was, the euphe-mism. She “passed.” No, I thought, sadly. She died.

I called my daughters, both of whom had made travel plans to get here in time. Jordan was on the road already, and Eden had plane tickets for later in the week.

In the next few hours, there was much to be done: people to notify, arrange-ments to set in motion, de-cisions to make. It wasn’t until we were on the road that it hit me.

She passed. How apt for someone

who had been a teacher! It is true: she passed. She has graduated into heaven.

Do not misunderstand me: I still believe that we are saved by grace and no one of us can earn our way into heaven. But maybe, just may-be, God grades on the curve.

As I write this, we are in that short and, at the same time, interminable

limbo between a death and a burial. Nothing else can go forward, no plans can be made, no other work is so important as mourning the loss of my mother and my children’s grandmother.

Mother was known for her love of red. She wore red well and often, and after she entered the nursing home, exclusively! It was Eden who, about an hour after I notifi ed her of Mother’s death, called me back and said, “I have an idea. I think we should all wear red at the service.”

I laughed out loud, in spite of my grief, and said, “What a great idea! Moth-er would love it!” And so, spurning any sign of mourn-ing – no black allowed – we will send her to eternity, all of us dressed in red.

For the past 40 years, a framed motto hung in Moth-er’s house. It sums up her ap-proach to life perfectly.

I have to live with myself, and so

I want to be fi t for myself to know.

I want to be able, as days go by,

Always to look myself in the eye.

I don’t want to stand in the setting sun

And hate myself for things I’ve done.

I want to go out with my head erect;

I want to deserve my own respect.

I feel sure the Lord has already told her, “Well done, thou good and faithful ser-vant. And, by the way, love the red!”

By Cindy TaylorThe women’s ministry at Wallace Memorial Baptist Church

holds a quarterly sewing event to support local, regional and world missions.

The group “Fabric Quarters” has sewn clothes for an orphanage in Haiti, cut patterns for shoes through the organization Sole Hope, and made items for Angelic Ministries. Members also stuff stockings with goodies at Christ-mas for local centers such as Western Heights Baptist Center. Their most recent get-together was to create items to benefi t single moms.

“We know that single moms are a large and grow-ing population, and they are in need of so much support,” said volunteer Heather Tes-terman. “The bags are just a small gift of love for these moms.”

The group sewed small bags and purses and stuffed them with pampering items donated by the women at Wallace.

“Our mission is to pray continually, serve, connect and grow with those in our community and around the world,” said Testerman.

Volunteers included Ka-trina Reiling, Jordan and Stacey Evans and Bethany Summers.

‘Sew’much love

By Wendy Smith Bob Lupton was enjoying

his fi rst Christmas as a resi-dent of inner-city Atlanta when he witnessed some-thing that changed his entire ministry. When members of a suburban church brought Christmas presents to a poor, urban family, the kids were ecstatic, the mom was embarrassed, and the dad vanished out the back door.

The charitable gift ex-posed the dad’s inability to provide, and it was more than his fatherly pride could handle, he said.

Lupton, the author of “Toxic Charity,” shared in-sight he’s gained from over 40 years of ministering to the poor at Cedar Springs Presbyterian Church’s 2014 Global Mission Conference.

After that Christmas, Lupton examined the min-istry’s other charity pro-grams and noticed a pat-tern. If someone received something once, they were appreciative. If they re-ceived it twice, there was some anticipation. When they received it a third time, it created expectation, and after the fourth time, it cre-ated entitlement. If some-one received something fi ve times, the result was pure dependence. That, he says, is toxic charity.

When giving hurtsisn’t accomplished through one-way giving. He began to see both the needs and the resources in his neigh-borhood, and utilize the re-sources. Nobody is so poor they don’t have something to contribute, he said. Even the homebound elderly can serve as the neighborhood watch.

His golden rule is “Never do for others when they have the capacity to do for themselves.”

The ministry’s programs evolved into neighbor-run organizations that meet needs and empower. A free clothing closet became a business when customers were required to purchase items. The new business provides employment, and customers feel appreciated rather than demeaned.

A food pantry became a food co-op when neighbors pooled resources to have more purchasing power at a local food bank. The arrange-ment led to a weekly potluck lunch where neighbors show off their cooking skills.

Christmas has changed, too. Generous church mem-bers still purchase items, but the unwrapped gifts are placed in a store where par-ents can shop for their chil-dren at reduced prices.

From then on, he adopted the position that charity is helpful only in a crisis situ-ation. After the crisis has passed, it’s time to rebuild.

“Development is the right response to chronic poverty issues,” he said.

Defi ning “crisis” is tricky. Hunger, he said, is not a crisis.

“In 42 years of living in the city, I’ve never seen a starving person. I’ve seen food insecurity, but not starvation.”

Lupton’s response to the chronic needs of his neigh-bors was to build healthy re-lationships, something that

ents,” Lupton said.He shared the story of his

neighbor, Virgil, who com-plained about the vans full of church people that fl ood into the neighborhood each sum-mer to do service projects.

He wouldn’t go so far as to say they weren’t needed, but he suggested that ser-vice projects should be community-initiated and community-led.

He also thought subur-banites could learn a thing or two from those in the in-ner city.

Lupton shared Virgil’s words: “They have no idea how God is working in our neighborhood. They have no idea what it’s like to live by faith.”

for these types of people to eat frequently and have protein at every meal. This type of person will want to avoid high glycemic foods that limit their carbohydrates, and stick mainly to low glycemic fruits and vegetables and small amounts of grain.

Mixed oxidizers are people who are actually a combination of both types and can sometimes fl uctuate between one type or the other depending on stress and other external environmental factors. Mixed types obviously have the most freedom with the way they eat but must be in tune with their bodies to know if they are leaning one way or the other from day to day. A mixed oxidizer will generally do better to eat a diet containing approximately 50 percent carbohydrates, 30 percent proteins and 20 percent fats, however this could vary from day to day depending on their stressors.

Losing weight is not as easy as choosing the latest fad diet. It is a process of fi guring out the type of diet you were born to eat and make sure you stay within those parameters during each meal. To get the weight loss you want you need to eat like your body wants to eat, not like the latest fad diet or the way your favorite fi tness model eats.

Next week: You are when you eat

By Dr. Donald G. Wegener

Each one of us is individual, inside and outside. This is why some diets work for some people while others succeed with a totally different type of diet. There are literally hundreds of different diets books available today, each claiming to be the perfect diet for you,

and each one promises to give you increased energy, vitality and weight loss. Figuring out what foods do best for your individual physiology is called metabolic typing. There are three basic metabolic types: slow oxidizers, fast oxidizers and mixed oxidizers.

Slow oxidizers are people who tend to quickly burn up fat and therefore do better on a high carbohydrate diet. A higher carbohydrate intake spares fat to help balance out how quickly food is used for energy in a slow oxidizer. These people usually do best on a ration of 60 percent carbohydrates, 25 percent proteins and 16 percent fat. These are the type of people who feel better when they consume carbohydrates, but they have to be careful not to get addicted to them because too many carbohydrates will make anyone fatter.

Fast oxidizers are people who tend to burn carbohydrates quickly and therefore require a relatively large amount of fats and proteins in their diet to balance out their metabolism. If you are a fast oxidizer you will want to experiment with a diet that has roughly 30 percent carbohydrates, 40 percent proteins and 30 percent fats. It is important

■ Sadie Who?What was supposed to be

a Valentine’s Dance at Pow-ell Middle School turned into a Sadie Hawkins Dance due to weather and rescheduling. Students danced, joked and mingled for a few hours after school.

Most of the students didn’t know who Sadie Hawkins was or how to dress the part but that didn’t matter – they still had fun.

■ Teacher honoreesKnox County Schools

has chosen three teachers who will move on to re-gional and state competi-tion: Kristin Risdahl from Brickey-McCloud, elemen-tary; Merry Anderson from Karns, middle school; and Leslie Howe from Farragut, high school.

Meanwhile, those nomi-nated from area schools de-serve recognition.

Brian Patton represent-ed Pleasant Ridge Elemen-tary School in the competi-tion. He teaches music.

Tiffany Flood, Michelle Staal and Cheryl Robert-son represented North-west Middle School. Flood teaches math, Staal is the AVID teacher and Robert-son teaches science.

■ Running for their schoolRun for the Schools drew

more than 1,500 students, teachers and staff from schools all across Knox County.

Business owner Abby Payne opened Josie’s Bou-tique in 1985, and, like many small businesses, has evolved with the changing industry ever since. Origi-nally focused on providing designer brands to con-sumers at affordable pric-es, the store now features a full-service hair and tan-ning salon and has become a destination for renting and purchasing new release movies.

Having been in business for almost 30 years, Josie’s Boutique & New Release Video is a staple for small businesses in the Powell area, and is one of the many reasons why it was selected by ORNL Federal Credit Union for the promotion.

Alexia Murriel

Fulton grad explores art at PSCC

News from Pellissippi State- Magnolia Campus

By Heather BeckWhen most people think

theater masks, the ancient Greek masks of comedy and tragedy come to mind.

Alexia Murriel, a student at Pellissippi State Com-munity College’s Magnolia Avenue Campus, recently put her own slant on a fi nal project in a theater class by creating African-inspired religious masks.

A Fulton High School graduate, Murriel is in her fourth semester at Pellis-sippi State, pursuing a gen-eral associate of arts degree. Once fi nished, she plans to attend a four-year university and earn a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering.

“Rituals were one of the early forms of theater,” Mur-riel said. The masks were modeled after those used in Nigeria and Zimbab we.

For Murriel, her love of art and her career pursuits are drawn from the same well of interest.

“I’m very much a hands-on and experimental per-son,” she said. “Anything I can make with my hands that’s my own idea is what interests me.

“Art was something that found me in elementary-school art class – I found that I was pretty good at drawing. At fi rst it was just pencil and paper, but now I use mostly acrylic paint on canvas boards. Then, in high school, I found I was

really good at math, so I be-came interested in mechan-ical engineering.”

Murriel is inspired by nature, but also by graffi ti, three-dimensional chalk drawings and aerosol art on canvas.

“I draw or paint just about anything that’s ap-pealing to the eye.”

In addition to attending college, Murriel also has considered joining the U.S. Air Force or Air Force Re-serve as well.

“I’m still exploring my options. I came to Pellis-sippi before going to a uni-versity to just get a feel for the college life.”

The Magnolia Avenue Campus is at 1610 E. Magno-lia Ave. Info: www.pstcc.edu/magnolia or 865-329-3100.

Bridging the digitaldivide in Lonsdale

News From Knoxville’s Community Development Corporation

By Alvin NancePhyllis Patrick, head of

the Lonsdale Homes Resi-dent Asso-ciation and a resident member of the KCDC Board of C o m m i s -sioners, has a vision for her commu-nity.

Her vision is a Lonsdale Community Technology Center.

More than 200 school-aged children live in the Lonsdale community. Only 18 percent of them have home access to the Internet. Studies consistently show a connection between pov-erty and lack of access to the Internet, a true digital divide across income lines.

This gap affects school test scores. Lonsdale chil-dren perform below the state average. Some of this can be attributed to lack of access to technology in their homes.

Commissioner Patrick believes we can bridge the digital divide in Lonsdale by placing a technology cen-

ter in the Lonsdale Homes community, and her vision is taking shape.

Plans call for locating the center in the on-site resi-dent association offi ce. In addition, neighboring steel recycler Gerdau has pledged fi nancial support toward outfi tting the center with computers. A team from the current Leadership Knox-ville class has adopted the project also.

We have consulted with Amy Brace, principal at Lonsdale Elementary, on student needs. We plan to start with students in the younger grades. When kids are not at the technology center, the neighborhood’s senior residents can also increase their computer skills.

We hope to have a grand opening in June to bring Commissioner Patrick’s vi-sion to fruition. As she told her fellow commissioners last month:

“I am glad to be a part of this. This is my neighbor-hood, and I want it to suc-ceed.”

Thanks to the help of all our partners, her vision will succeed.

POWELL Shopper news • MARCH 10, 2014 • A-11

By Betty BeanGood news for the envi-

ronment, nature lovers and neighborhood children; bad news for privet, honeysuck-le, kudzu and litterbugs.

The Tennessee Clean Wa-ter Network has acquired fi ve more acres for the Wil-liams Creek Urban Forest project – doubling its acre-age – and is preparing to tote the goats back to East Knoxville in June for the second chapter of a three-year land-clearing project. The goats not only made a big dent in clearing the area of invasive undergrowth last summer but also drew crowds of visitors who came to watch them munch weeds.

“The goats were very popular,” said TCWN Exec-utive Director Renee Hoyos. “People were coming by to take pictures, and they got to be a real family attrac-tion. Children loved them.”

In addition to being en-tertaining, the goats were

so effi cient that they cleared enough ground for crews of inmates who came behind them to be able to remove a massive dump site that included more than 500 junked tires.

The brush and the trash weren’t the only things that needed clearing, Hoyos said.

“Not only are we clean-ing the water, but we were cleaning titles. Every one of those (properties) had some crazy drama. The area had been a dump site forever.”

The fi rst fi ve acres of the forest were acquired by TCWN as a result of a law-suit it fi led in 2003 against Knoxville Utilities Board for storm-sewer overfl ows that polluted the ground-water and leached into the creek.

In 2004, KUB was slapped with a consent de-cree obligating it to a supple-mental environmental proj-ect requiring the purchase of property around the creek

Urban forest, Eastside greenway take shapeto establish an urban forest to protect the creek and sur-rounding wetlands, and the parties reached an agree-ment.

In 2007, neighborhood resident Rick Roach and fellow St. Luke’s Episco-pal Church parishioner Lida Mayer started Friends of Williams Creek, which aimed at cleaning up the creek that represented Roach’s favorite childhood memories, many years be-fore it was declared the most polluted creek in Knox County. Friends of Williams Creek worked at building community support and joined forces with TCWN and other groups.

The second phase of the

cleanup was made possible by a $100,000 grant from the Aslan Foundation that put the project on a faster track and allowed Hoyos to do things like bringing in the goats.

The urban forest will be-come part of the extension of the James White Green-way along Dailey Street be-tween Brooks Avenue and South Chestnut Street to the east. The new land ac-quisition will enable the city to close Dailey, making it less inviting to illegal trash dumpers and other law-breakers. When completed, the greenway will link the Williams Creek Golf Course with the Knoxville Botani-cal Gardens.

with Sage Kohler

Coffee Break

Sage Kohler went to the “other UT,” but she found a home in East Tennessee.

In 2010, she had been with State Farm as an agent and in various executive positions for 28 years when the com-pany asked her to take over the agency in Powell after the unexpected death of agent Andy Anderson.

“We had never set foot in Tennessee,” she says. “I said, ‘I don’t know. I have to check it out.’

“We came down, and I fell in love. Absolutely fell in love. And six weeks later we were living here. It’s our fa-vorite place we’ve ever lived. I can’t imagine leaving here.”

Kohler was an Army brat, born in Fort Sill, Okla., who lived in 13 places before age 10, when her parents divorced. She moved with her mother and two younger sisters to Fort Lauderdale, where she says their life was nothing like the spring break good-times fantasy.

After high school, Kohler spent two years at Auburn University before transferring to the University of Texas at Austin. She landed a job before she even graduated, do-ing sales for a radio station purchased in Austin by Clear Channel Communications.

“I interviewed with Red McCombs and Lowry Mays,” she says, dropping some iconic names in radio history.

“I was their top salesperson for two years, but back in the early ’80s I was female, young and not married, and when the sales manager job came open, even though I was their lead salesperson, they wouldn’t even let me interview.

“I was like, done. I want to do something where I’m judged on what I do and not who I am or what sex I am. So I became a State Farm agent in 1984 at 24 years old.

“The fi rst policies I wrote were on myself. I was my best client for at least a month.”

Kohler was an agent for 13 years, but she went into management in 1997 when State Farm asked her to be-come the director of recruiting for Texas.

“As a State Farm agent, I have a few thousand house-holds that I represent, but as the director of recruiting I was going to hire people that each and every one of them had a few thousand people they could help.”

Helping people is Kohler’s goal in life. Although she went on to work in more management positions in Hunts-ville, Ala., Philadelphia and Louisville, Ky., she wanted to go back to being an agent, so the Knox County opening came at the perfect time.

While she has moved her offi ce from Powell to Hardin

Valley, where she lives with husband Louis, she remains involved in the Powell community – she’s president of the Powell Business and Professional Association – and says it’s an easy commute.

Now, she’s close enough to her offi ce to go home for lunch. And she’s right where she needs to be when – re-luctantly – she takes time off.

“We’re big lake people,” she says. “In the summertime we’re on the lake every weekend.”

Sit back and have a Coffee Break as you get to know Sage Kohler.

What is your favorite quote from TV or a movie?“I’ll have what she’s having” from “When Harry Met

Sally.” The whole scene is hilarious!

What are you guilty of?Overworking. My family is always telling me to “have

fun,” and my response is “when the work is done.” It just never seems to get fi nished.

What is your favorite material possession?My home – it’s my refuge. Its décor is eclectic – what-

ever I like, and I’m pretty eclectic.

What are you reading currently?I’m always reading several things at once. Currently,

I’m re-reading Stephen Covey’s “First Things First,” John Piper’s “A Godward Life” and Veronica Roth’s “Al-legiant” (last book in the “Divergent” series – requested by my 19-year-old daughter).

What was your most embarrassing moment? I was at a church worship weekend, and I went to a

different set of bathrooms than I normally do, and yes – you guessed it – I went in the men’s. BUT (it gets worse) I didn’t realize till I was sitting and heard two men walk in, talking.

What are the top three things on your bucket list? Go to Australia. Become a grandma. Live on the lake.

What is one word others often use to describe you and why?Intense. I’m pretty passionate about anything I

believe in or do … it’s never less than 110 percent, and I think that often exhausts the people around me.

If you could change one thing about yourself, what wouldit be?

That I would talk less and listen more. I’m getting better as I get older, so I fi gure if I live to about 110, I may be balanced.

What is your passion? Helping people – making a difference in their lives.

That’s why I do what I do. I love to be a resource for folks.

With whom, living or dead, would you most like to have along lunch?

J.R.R. Tolkien – the creativity in his writings fasci-nates me. I’d love to meet the mind behind his books.

Other than your parents, who has had the biggest infl u-ence on your life and why?

My husband, Louis (March 10, 2014, is our 30th wed-ding anniversary). He loves me because of me and in spite of me. I have never doubted his love, and knowing that has helped me face tough days/times.

I still can’t quite get the hang of …  Our Mac Apple computer at home. I work in a Win-

dows environment all day, and when I try to do things on the Apple – it is NOT intuitive!

What is the best present you ever received in a box?Back in 1989, we really needed a car, and for Christ-

mas my husband, who was selling Mazdas for a living, gave me a small box – better than jewelry … It was the key to a new model of Mazda – a red Miata convertible.

What is the best advice your mother ever gave you?This is tough – she gave me so much. Things like,

“Don’t lay out in the sun or you’ll turn into an old brown leather purse,” but the best was probably, “Do what you know, not what you feel.”

What is your social media of choice? I’m terrible at all of it – not that I can’t or don’t enjoy

it. I can just never fi nd the time. If I had to pick, I’d say Facebook because I do love to catch up with old friends. It helped tremendously when I organized my 25th high school reunion.

What is the worst job you have ever had?Maid at my stepdad’s hotel. Not because I don’t like

cleaning, because I do. But my supervisor, “Frenchie,” was OCD, and after you cleaned, she truly gave it “the white-glove test.”

What was your favorite Saturday morning cartoon andwhy?

“Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!” – I think because they were such a diverse group of friends that had a goal and seemed to have the smarts to reach that goal – every week!

What irritates you?People who litter. Tennessee is so beautiful – I just

don’t understand why some folks don’t get it.

Looking extremely festive are Kyla Lee

and her mother, Pepper Marcum, of

Friendsville. They come “for the joy of

it and the animal camaraderie.” Dogs

Yankee Doodle and Daisy Mae agree!

At the East Tennessee

Pit Bull Rescue booth,

Heather Wittig and

daughter Elizabeth

pose with beautiful

8-month-old Blossom,

who is happy to be

with such kind folks.

“She’s a baby with the

sweetest personality

– great with kids and

dogs,” says Heather. If

you’d like to adopt her

or another rescued pit

bull, visit www.etnpit-

bullrescue.org/.

Jeannine Jones of H.A.L.T.

(Humans & Animals Learning

Together) poses with Bumble,

who is available for adoption.

The bright, gentle little dog

has just taken part in a train-

ing session for the organiza-

tion, and she loves people.

Info: www.haltdogs.org/.

Karns residents Lori Friel and

her daughter, Jessica, enjoy

the party with dog Kipling.

Linda Price of Maryville cud-

dles her Parson Russell terrier/

Chihuahua mix puppy, Vali,

which she says is short for

“Valentine.”

Carol’s Corner

The seventh annual Mar-di Growl parade and festival on Market Square proved to be a howlin’ good time for all involved.

Last year’s event took place in cold, rain and wind, but this year’s more compliant weather com-pelled hundreds of dog lovers to come out for a day of fun and festivities, all benefiting Young-Williams Animal Center.

good timeA howlin’

Cassandra Strunk of West Knox-

ville poses with handsome Ru-

pert, a 1-year-old white boxer.Magicians performed, bands played and costumed canines of all types strutted

their stuff. The animal center’s Spay

Shuttle drew a big crowd. It offers free spay/neuter ser-vices, and Young-Williams provided free rabies shots and microchipping at the event.

To check on these ser-vices or adoptable pets, call 215-6677 or visit www.young-williams.org/.Send story suggestions to news@
