Party time in Tennessee

The Tennessee cross-coun-try family is celebrating the historic NCAA championship of 40 years ago.

Oh, the joy of triumphant recollections, tall tales, mon-strous exaggerations and bare-faced lies. In this case, 70 or more old Vols could do or say whatever they chose. It was their show. The uni-versity athletic department, in financial arrears, could not feed the multitude, not at Calhoun’s on the River.

Homecomingat Glenwood Baptist Church

By Theresa EdwardsGlenwood Baptist Church celebrated 122

years of worship and community at its Sept. 23 homecoming.

A time of remembrance was led by Randy Wil-liamson as names of those who passed during the previous year were read:

Eva Geneva Simpson “Mimi” Atkins, Yvonne E. Whetsell, D.C. “Buck” Wilson, Josie Meredith Fine, Barbara Jean Bevins, Roger “Hot Rod” Bet-tis, James “JB” Hayes, Elizabeth Ann Garrison “Gootie” Childress, Robert Lee Jones, Mildred Inez Lewis and Helen Hughes Brown.

Flowers in the sanctuary were given in lov-ing memory of their parents by the John M. Karns family. Faithful Service Awards hon-oring Mr. Karns were presented to Jim Cates and Katherine Pennington.

Former youth pastor Dr. Mike Thompson, who is now senior pastor at Second Baptist Church in Clinton, brought the message.

Afterwards, everyone enjoyed lunch in the au-ditorium. Each table was decorated with family heirlooms and antiques to enhance the theme of “Back Then.” Photos were also displayed.

The pastor of Glenwood Baptist Church, 7212 Central Ave. Pike, is the Rev. Travis Henderson.

Tennova marks fi rst year From page A-1

A native of Paducah, Ky., Followell holds a bachelor’s degree in social work from the University of Kentucky and a master’s in health care administration. His goals are “happy patients and happy employees,” he told the Halls Business and Professional Association.

What an economic en-gine Tennova is for Halls and Powell.

Since its opening, own-ers have invested $122

million in buildings and equipment. Peripheral businesses have sprung up on Emory and Conner roads.

The hospital now em-ploys almost 500 associ-ates and is the largest cus-tomer of Hallsdale Powell Utility District.

As a for-profit busi-ness, Tennova has become a major taxpayer in Knox County.

Last year, the north fa-

cility had 99,000 patient interactions.

The hospital has around-theclock emergency servic-es, surgery, cardiology and pulmonology critical care, diagnostic imaging and a full service lab.

Patient rooms are iden-tically sized with the same layout in every room. This consistency allows nurses and other clinicians to work more effi ciently, especially during emergencies.

Rubbing shoulders with the rich and famous

Big band leader Brad Walker got to rub shoulders with the rich and famous earlier this year when he attended a 90th birthday party for trumpeter and bandleader Ray Anthony in Los Angeles.

Walker performed as a pickup musician in Antho-ny’s band a few times sever-al years ago when Anthony was still touring. They have remained good friends.

“He’s even sent me ar-

rangements for my band,” Walker says. “Some of the biggest requests we get are for his charts.”

Anthony is best known for “The Bunny Hop” and for hit singles of the TV themes to “Dragnet” and “Peter Gunn.” He also hosted a short-lived variety show and worked with ev-eryone from Frank Sinatra to Hugh Hefner.

The party was held at the Odyssey restaurant in Bev-erly Hills. Anthony’s orches-tra played and about 200 friends and families helped Anthony celebrate. Among them were Hefner, record producer Berry Gordy and actor Jerry Stiller.

Anthony has promised Walker he will conduct Walk-er’s band at its 10th anniver-sary celebration next year.

Walker also played a pri-vate gig at C h e r o k e e C o u n t r y Club last month with t r o m b o n e player Bob H a v e n s , who was a member of L a w r e n c e

Welk’s band for 30 years and was a familiar face on Welk’s TV show.

“He’s 82 years old,” Walker says, “and still plays very well. We did some Dixieland music, which is his specialty.”

Walker said his favorite Bob Havens story revolved around the advice Welk used to give his band and singers:

“Look like you’re having fun but don’t have any.”

“A lot of jazz musicians

poke fun at Welk, but he had one of the best bands and was very organized,” Walker said. “A lot of people asked Bob why he played with Welk for so long. He said, ‘Well, No. 1, he pays well and it’s a steady job, and No. 2, it’s great music.’ ”

Coincidentally enough, Walker’s friend Anthony tried to hire Havens away from Welk to play on Anthony’s TV show.

“Ray Anthony’s show only lasted about six months. Bob said, ‘I made the right choice!’ ”

Walker says the big band business is booming and is starting to become popular among college students. He’s got a few big dates planned for 2013 and says folks can keep up with the band through its Facebook page or by emailing Walker at bwtrombonejazz@aol.com.

Bedelle recalls city-county

schools mergerDr. Fred Bedelle says it’s

a misnomer to refer to the “merger” or the “consolida-tion” of the local city and county school systems.

‘Going out of business’

“What actually hap-pened is that in 1987 the city simply went out of the schools business and the county took over,” Bedelle says.

As superintendent of the city system at that time, and as a longtime employee of the county school system under Mildred Doyle before then, Bedelle played a criti-cal role in the complicated undertaking of combining the two systems, and in the process worked himself right out of a job, or, as the erudite Dr. Bedelle puts it with a laugh: “I was elimi-nated by plebiscite.”

And he’s correct again, because it took an actual vote of the people to put the city of Knoxville out of the schools business and the highly-respected Dr. Be-delle out of his job.

But combining the sys-tems was far more compli-cated than just a vote of the citizens.

While efforts over sev-eral decades to consolidate the city of Knoxville and Knox County governments into one entity had repeat-

edly failed, 1 9 8 6 - 8 7 yielded a “ p e r f e c t storm” for the school system, but it wasn’t an easy pro-cess.

In 1986, Mayor Kyle Testerman saw that the city was running out of money to fund the schools or much of anything else. A huge budget defi cit loomed, created in large part by pensions promised to teachers in lieu of salary increases in the past.

As the city had gobbled up land through annexation over the years in an effort to increase its tax base, it had also acquired many county schools in the process – this in spite of the fact that the ever-shrewd Mildred Doyle, who served as Knox County’s elected schools su-perintendent from 1945 to 1975, had cleverly located many county schools at the outer edges of the county, far away from any likely an-nexation.

Nonetheless, during the 1960s, for example, a to-tal of 30 county schools were taken over by the city through annexation.

As the costs of main-taining those schools and funding their administra-tive costs grew, the city had been postponing critical work on school buildings, including removing asbes-tos from some of them. The money for such projects simply wasn’t available.

While the city was fi nd-ing itself in a fi nancial quag-mire, Bedelle, who is soon to publish a book refl ecting on the history of the local

schools, recalls that “Nash-ville had just consolidated its government, and there was a push for consolidation all across the state.

“Locally, when city-coun-ty consolidation was voted on in the past, city voters would approve it, but county voters would not. City vot-ers would claim they were being double taxed for edu-cation; county voters didn’t want to do without the state money they would lose with a combined school system.”

Faced with a looming $90 million budget shortfall for funding the teachers’ pen-sion, Testerman announced in 1986 that he would place a referendum on the ballot in the November general election to amend the city charter “to abolish the city of Knoxville public school system.” The vote passed in the city with more than 55 percent approval.

The vote was in, but still, “it was a diffi cult time for everyone,” Bedelle recalls. “Regardless of what anyone says, the two school systems served different clienteles.”

And then there were the differences in pensions and salaries and holiday sched-ules and insurance and on and on. Finally, it took a court order on June 30, 1987, just one day before the scheduled changeover, to settle some of those issues, and years to settle others.

And the city’s massive obligation to the city teach-ers’ pension fund? The court ruled that the city must pay it after all.

Twenty-fi ve years later, Dr. Bedelle, with his re-markable sense of humor still in place, says of the whole experience: “I’ve still got the scars.”

Martin leads Lakeshore negotiationsLakeshore Mental Health

Institute off Lyons View Pike closed this summer af-ter better than a century of service. Intense discussions are underway between the city and state for some 65 acres which may be added to Lakeshore Park.

It is a major undertak-ing. Countless legal and fi -nancial questions must be answered, and the process is likely to last for months. Larry Martin, now a top Haslam aide in Nashville, is representing the state, while Deputy Mayor Eddie Mannis represents the city.

Also involved are state commissioners Mark Cates and Mark Emkes; and city leaders Bill Lyons, Charles Swanson, Christi Branscom and Lee Miracle.

No governor could be more familiar with this land, since Haslam’s home on Sherwood Drive is less than a mile away. His fam-

ily company, Pilot Flying J, gave one of the ball fi elds at Lakeshore.

What funding, if any, comes with property for those buildings which will require demolition? The city wants some fi nancial as-sistance for demolition and the state prefers to transfer the property with more lim-ited fi nancial aide. Martin knows the issue well.

Another issue is how to use the historic adminis-tration building. What city offi ces, if any, might be housed there? What use will it have? The current build-ing has some structural is-sues. The city already has 13

empty buildings transferred more than a year ago for which a decision on use or demolition must be made.

This is great news for park advocates in that the land will remain in public hands and be added to the city’s inventory to make Lakeshore an even greater park for all Knoxvillians to enjoy. Despite the signifi -cant costs associated with the transfer, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity for the city.

For me personally, it is exciting to see the original acquisition, which I pushed with help from Jimmy Haslam, Caesar Stair and Tom McAdams going back to the early 1990s with the late Gov. Ned McWherter’s support, expanding and reaching its full potential for public recreational use.

In my view, it is appro-priate for the state to assist in the cost of demolition of

buildings which the state built years ago.

Anthony Hancock and Johnny Majors Photo by Betty Bean

Majors suits up for Hancock

Betty Bean

Anthony Hancock was the fi rst player Johnny Ma-jors signed to wear Tennes-see orange, snatching him right out from under the nose of Woody Hayes on signing day.

Both Majors and the legendary Ohio State coach were stalking the halls of Cleveland’s John Hay High school on the fi rst day to sign National Letters of Intent in 1978. Hancock remembers it like it was yesterday.

“The bell rang for third period, and down the left side of the hall you could see this giant guy, (6-8 OSU Lombardi Trophy win-ner John Hicks), and right next to him, this little bitty white guy, Coach Hayes. On the left side there were (Tennessee wide receivers coach) Bob Harrison and Johnny Majors.

My athletic director didn’t allow either head coach to talk to me,” Han-cock said.

After school, his AD took Hancock to see his father in the hospital. Majors met him there, and he and his dad signed on with Tennes-see.

Except for the years when he played wide re-ceiver for the Kansas City Chiefs, Hancock has been here ever since, working in public service-oriented jobs – as a small business development specialist for the state of Tennessee, for the Boy Scouts (where he helped 12 inner-city kids attain the rank of Eagle Scout), and now as a spe-cial education teacher at Bearden Elementary School who is deeply concerned about educational issues – from Headstart and school lunches (which he supports) to the Tennessee Virtual Academy (which he doesn’t).

Hancock, a Democrat who lives in the West Hills

home he bought for his par-ents with his NFL money, is the underdog in the heavily Republican 18th District state House race.

Majors, who weighed about 150 with rocks in his pockets when he signed on to play single wing tail-back under Gen. Robert R. Neyland, knows something about being an underdog, and he’s standing with his player.

The old coach gave a stem-winder of a speech in Hancock’s behalf at a West Knox fundraiser. He fi rst said he is not anti-Republi-can. He liked Ronald Rea-gan and George H.W. Bush, but doesn’t think much of today’s ultra-conservatives.

“I have been very dis-turbed for several years about the anger that the right wing has brought to the political scene,” he said. “You can look at cartoons going back to Jefferson’s days, and some of them are just dastardly. But the anger and greed of today’s right wing is unmatched.

“Do you think I want the Tennessee legislature handling my Medicare? Give me some coupons to go shop for medical care? I don’t know how anybody who’s educated and has any common sense could vote for somebody like that crazy (Stacey) Campfi eld (a close ally of Hancock’s op-ponent, Steve Hall).”

Majors praised Hancock as “a team man” who has led a life of service.

“He is a man of great character and integrity who has done a lot of good for people. He was always ready when the whistle blew.”

War on peddlers

Commissioner R. Lar-ry Smith has declared war on the weekend

peddlers that fre-quent ma-jor roads, such as May-nardville Pike in Halls and Clinton Highway

in Powell.“This should be the

last summer for them,” said Smith. He’s asked Law Director Bud Armstrong to draft a resolution or ordinance to enable the county’s codes enforcement to control the roadside vendors.

What can be done?“We can ask them to

have written permis-sion from the property owner,” Smith said. “I’m not after the yard sales in subdivisions, but those almost permanent businesses on the sides of the road.”

He said he’s received numerous complaints.

Last week, Smith could not block planned commercial rezoning of Sam Connor’s 17 acres on Emory Road just west of Central Avenue Pike.

Smith wanted to know what was going there, but lawyer Arthur Seymour Jr. said a developer will not buy it withough the rezon-ing. The vote to rezone passed, 7-2.

Rejoice in the presence

The Lord, your God, is in your midst, a warrior who gives victory; he will rejoice over you with gladness, he will renew you in his love; he will exult over you with loud singing as on a day of festival.

(Zephaniah 3: 17-18a NRSV)

Joy is the infallible sign of the presence of God. (Pierre Teilhard de Chardin)

There is a difference between happiness

and joy. The dictionary struggles to make the dis-tinction, sometimes using the one term to defi ne the other.

Lara cries, “Lord, what joy!” when she learns that Zhivago is still alive. “Joy to the world,” the hymn de-clares. “The Lord is come!”

If happiness is lem-onade, then joy is cham-pagne. Happiness is a smile; joy is a shriek of laughter.

And de Chardin as-sures us that joy is God’s trademark, God’s signa-ture, the surest sign of God’s presence.

So why are there so many grumpy religious folks? Have they not read the memo? Have they not heard the Good News?

What is the message we send the world when Christians can’t be gra-cious – full of grace – with each other?

If faith, and by asso-ciation joy, were conta-

gious, would there be an epidemic in your neigh-borhood, or would your neighbors be safe?

And more to the point, does God’s presence cre-ate joy? Or is God drawn to joy wherever God fi nds it, because joy is God’s na-tive tongue?

I sometimes ponder God’s activity in cre-ation. Imagine dreaming up waterfalls and hum-mingbirds, starfi sh and puppies, ocean waves and grizzly bears! I wonder if God said, “Wow, what would happen if I …?” and then clapped His hands and the Orion nebula ap-peared? Did God laugh?

God’s presence – God’s joy – is God’s gift to us, if we can but open our hearts and eyes and minds to it. Even on the bleakest of our days, the sun comes up (maybe covered by clouds, but it’s there!), another day dawns, the earth spins, a mother sings, and some-where a baby laughs.

My theology has been shaped and molded by music all my life. (That may be true of all of us: the adage says “The faith we sing is the faith we be-lieve,” which is why I try to choose hymns carefully!)

It is Mark Hayes’ an-them “And the Father Will Dance” (a setting of the Zephaniah text quoted above) that is for me the most exu-berant expression of God’s joy in creation:“And the Father will dance as on a day of joy; He will exult over you and renew you by His love.”

The music dances and lilts and skips and twirls, and I can almost see the Almighty bending to paint a fl ower and pat a puppy; I can see God’s great hand reaching to snatch a star out of the heavens and toss it to a child like a ball.

Teilhard de Chardin was right! Joy – wherever it bubbles up – is the in-fallible sign of the pres-ence of God!

The Tennessee cross-coun-try family is celebrating

the historic NCAA champi-onship of 40 years ago.

Oh, the joy of trium-phant recollections, tall tales, monstrous exagger-ations and bare-faced lies. In this case, 70 or more old Vols could do or say what-ever they chose. It was their show. The univer-sity athletic department, in the financial arrears, could not feed the multi-tude, not at Calhoun’s on the River.

Best I can tell, cross-country running has been and remains an almost pri-vate enterprise. Through the decades, there were very few witnesses and al-most no applause. Races happened and virtually nobody noticed.

The band did not play. There were no requests for autographs. The per-sistent might have found a short story if the newspa-per had one.

Cross-country appears simple enough. Lean, dedicated, determined people stride six miles or so around a golf course or perhaps over hill and vale and back to the starting point. If winning is im-portant, all it takes is all you’ve got.

Some who ran, Frankie Albertson for example, tell me it is a tough game. No intermission, no timeouts, no substitutions and don’t let the guy in front get too far ahead.

In the grand and color-ful sports history of the University of Tennessee, distance runners have won that one national title. It happened in Houston, Glenbrook golf course, Nov. 20, 1972, damp, dreary day, temperature in the 40s.

Stan Huntsman was the proud coach. Doug Brown, Roberto Lenarduzzi, Dan-ny Zoeller, John Angel and Ron Addison carried the colors in what was probably a thrilling upset of East Tennessee State. I missed it. I was doing football.

I do know the Bucs were logical favorites. Coach David Walker had import-ed the Irish brigade. Neil Cusack, born in Limerick, came through as project-ed. He won the individual championship. Brown ran a few seconds behind but a few seconds in front of another Irishman, Eddie Leddy. Patrick Leddy was in the general vicinity.

Party time at Tennessee

Low score wins in cross-country, determined by the finish of the best five runners representing a school. Tennessee totaled 134 points. ETSU was as-sessed 148. Oregon was handicapped. Steve Pre-fontaine skipped the meet.

We got a few quotes from Huntsman: “Every coach in the country dreams of a national championship and suddenly we have one. That was the biggest day in my coaching life. I am extremely proud of these men. They worked. They deserved to win.”

Huntsman said he got the feeling with a couple of miles to go that the Vols were in the hunt.

“A coach can’t see much of the race but you can

pick out teams you think are competitive and look for their fifth man. At four miles, a lot of teams were out of business.”

Some runners fold un-der pressure. Some sprint at the wrong time, when they should maintain a steady pace. Now and then, one falls and three trip over him.

Brown had a strong closing kick. Angel, from Farragut High, gave great effort. Addison, left be-hind at the motel when the team went to the golf course, caught a bus and arrived in plenty of time to grab that crucial fifth scoring spot for the Vols.

Cheers for the champs.Marvin West invites reader reaction. His address is westwest6@netzeo.com

with Bob CoyneBob Coyne is well known for being dedicated to help-

ing caregivers. He has a genuine compassion for caregiv-ers since he took care of his wife 5 1/2 years during her illness.

“There is not a greater calling in life than taking care of your loved one,” Bob says.

His desire is to better equip those who are caregivers or who may become caregivers. He does this through free seminars, support groups and a caregivers expo.

Bob’s next seminar is 10 a.m. Thursday, Oct. 4, at the Strang Senior Center (call 670-6693 to register).

He offers a caregivers support group meeting 9:30-11 a.m. the fi rst Monday of each month at All Saints Catho-lic Church. It is a Christian-based, nondenominational group.

Bob also enjoys reading, music, and attending con-certs and plays. He goes with a special friend, Joan, who has similar interests. They also share a common bond in that she took care of her husband many years before he passed away.

“She really helped me through my depression after my wife died,” Bob said.

Bob has two married daughters: Christine Kimmey, who lives in Toledo, Ohio, has two sons, Nicholas and Evan, who are both in college; and Diane Burek, who lives in Roanoke, Va., has two daughters, Emily and Julia.

Sit and have a Coffee Break as you get to know Bob Coyne:

What are you guilty of? Before retiring in 1998, I was a micromanager, which

my staff didn’t appreciate. Since retiring, that stopped.

What is your favorite material possession? My original Gibson guitar from 1949.

What are you reading currently? Dave Ramsey’s “Entire Leadership.” It’s a great guide

for a future dream I have.

What was your most embarrassing moment? That was way back in 1985 when Philips Consumer

Electronics had a big press show in New York for the introduction of a new product. I was assigned to escort Dick Clark around the room to introduce him to some of our executives. First introduction, I forgot his name for a few seconds. I have a picture with him.

What are the top three things on your bucket list?1. Go back to Ireland for another visit. 2. Go back to Boston to see WBZ-TV where I worked. 3. To visit Rome and see the Vatican.

What is one word others often use to describe you and why?

Help caregivers (oops, that’s two).

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

Lose 25 pounds.

What is your passion?That’s an easy answer – to teach caregivers the reali-

ties of caring for a loved one. That is, they must learn to cope with the pressures of caregiving while praying with hope for recovery of their loved one but with the acceptance of reality.

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

My father. He died at 39 leaving a young widow with three small boys to raise ... which, by the way, she did a fabulous job. She never remarried and my two brothers

never got into any real trouble (well, maybe a little).

Other than your parents, who has had the big-gest infl uence on your life and why?

I guess I would have to say three people: Father Tom Murphy, a Jesuit priest in Con-necticut where I was born; Father Tom Fran-cis, a Cistercian monk at the monastery in Conyers, Ga.; and Chuck Sawyer, a friend who helped me so much with my career at the old Magnavox Company and Philips Consumer Electronics Company.

I still can’t quite get the hang of … I can handle email but that’s it. While

preparing for our recent caregiver expo in August, the committee members told me we would rely on social media coverage. I’m not kidding. I didn’t know what that meant.

What is the best advice your mother ever gave you?

My mother said, “Don’t ever do anything you wouldn’t do in front of me and don’t ever do anything that would make me cry.”

What is your social media of choice? Email, telephone, hand-written notes ... no-

body writes notes anymore. I have a website but I’m still trying to fi gure out how to use it.

What is the worst job you have ever had? As a young boy, I worked in an industrial

laundry company in Bridgeport, Conn. It was horrible – hot and no air conditioning!

What was your favorite Saturday morning car-toon and why?

“Sky King.” I loved the idea that I could fl y around in my own plane some day.

What irritates you? Gossips. Hypocrites.

What’s one place in Karns or Hardin Valley everyone should visit?

I used to love the greasy hamburgers at Sims Deli, but it’s gone now. I used to take my grandchildren there; they loved it! Now, I think it would be the Ben Atchley State Veteran’s Home. What a beautiful setting for those veterans. I’ve visited friends there.

What is your greatest fear?I guess it would be passing away before I see my

dream of opening a special facility for caregivers ser-vices; sort of a day care where they can come for a bit of respite among supportive people.

If you could do one impulsive thing, what would it be?A European cruise on the Rhine in one of those big slow

ships with a special friend.– Theresa Edwards

Panthers still grindingPowell’s football team

has managed to establish itself as one of the tougher teams in the district this year. Standing at 5-1 overall and 3-1 in District 3-AAA, the Panthers toughed one out most recently against Beaver Creek rival Karns.

Powell’s Hagen Owenby threw touchdown passes and proved himself to be as versatile as anybody, gain-ing 90 more yards on the ground. The Beavers took a 7-0 lead to start the game, but Powell showed compo-sure as it struck back twice with touchdown passes to Andrew Cox and Klay Leep-er to take a 14-7 lead into halftime.

The second half wasn’t pretty for either team, but the Panthers managed to score and show that they

can play four quarters of ball – not just two. That’s a good sign, especially as the postseason approaches.

Montario Washington sealed the victory with a 15 yard run in the fourth quar-ter to score. He fi nished with 97 yards on 17 carries.

The Powell defense was something to talk about, too. The Panthers held the Beavers to just 161 yards and intercepted the ball twice – once by Michael Brown and again by Jacob Bezark.

Karns dropped to 1-5 overall.

The Panthers return home to Scarbro Stadium Friday, Oct. 5, for the home-coming game against the Clinton Dragons. Clinton (1-4) is coming off their fi rst victory of the season, a 24-8 win over Campbell County.

Powell has won two straight against the Drag-ons and it doesn’t look like anything will be different this year. A win here should clinch a postseason spot for Powell, and the playoffs are just three weeks away after Friday’s matchup.

How the Panthers per-form now shapes where they land in the playoff bracket, and where they play. Should Powell win out and fi nish off the season with wins against Camp-bell County and Central, the Panthers should have

home-fi eld advantage in the fi rst two rounds of the playoffs.

But the Panthers have to win the games fi rst.

Volleyball: Powell’svolleyball team is hoping to wind the season down strongly.

The Panthers started off 0-4 in the district and de-spite not doing so well in the regular season, the team still hopes to make a run in the district tournament.

Senior night is 6 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 2, at PHS against Lenoir City. It will be Powell’s last regular sea-son game. The district tour-ney will take place Oct. 9-10 at Hardin Valley Academy.

Coach Michael Blair believes the team can per-form well there if they im-prove with their on-court “communication issues.” Times and seeds for the tournament have not yet been announced.

Critter Tales“Eartipping” allows a volun-teer to examine a feral cat from a distance to see if it has been spayed or neutered. Photo submitted

Have you ever noticed a scrawny looking cat peering around the cor-ner of an office building or sneaking behind a gas station to sniff around the dumpster? If so, then you’ve spotted a member of the ever-growing feral cat population in America.

Watching out for feral cats

Feral cats are consid-ered a nuisance to some and pitiful orphans to others. Regardless of how you see them, most folks would probably agree that the feral cat population is out of control.

Alley Cat Allies, a na-tional advocacy organi-zation for cats, launched National Feral Cat Day 10 years ago to spotlight the issue. Several other organizations have since followed the example and will host events this month to raise awareness. National Feral Cat Day is Tuesday, Oct. 16.

PPAW Spay and Neuter Clinic in Greenback will host a “Free Feral Day” Saturday, Oct. 6, for free spay and neuter of trapped feral cats. Volunteers are encouraged to trap cats from feral colonies and bring them to PPAW for spay/neuter, eartipping and vaccinations.

Veterinarians clip the top of the spayed or neu-tered cat’s ear so the colony’s population can be monitored and con-trolled. If you see a cat with a clipped ear, you

know it doesn’t need to be trapped.

Shopper-News Presents Miracle Makers

Tom Catani, regional vice president

of U.S. Cellular, reads to students at

Inskip Elementary School. Looking

on are principal Dr. Elisa Luna and

superintendent Dr. Jim McIntyre.

Wow! Where do we start, talking about Inskip Elementary

School.Inskip’s reading scores

soared last year, catching everybody’s attention and leading to an appropria-tion of $3 million to rep-licate the program in nine other schools.

Inskip was one of fi ve elementary schools to pi-lot the fi rst-grade reading intervention program. In one year, it is credited with moving the profi -ciency in reading score at Inskip from 27.7 percent to 98.9 percent.

Principal Dr. Elisa Luna said the program works because teach-ers and students get on the same page. “Then we work hard, and just keep working.”

At Friday’s ceremony, Tom Catani told the stu-dents that he has fi ve children who are all “big.” He moved the kids closer to him and read about Dexter, a small dog that was bullied by a bigger cat. “Everything about him was small, but his dreams.”

Catani asked students if they have big dreams. One said she wants to “fl y like Dexter,” and Catani suggested becoming an airplane pilot. In addition to being a former board member at Leadership Knoxville, Catani works with Knox County Schools as U.S. Cellular’s representative to Partners in Education.

LeadershipDr. Elisa Luna has been head

principal at Inskip since 2004. Dur-ing her tenure she overcame being shot by a disgruntled employee and fi nished work toward a doctorate.

Previously, Luna was assistant principal at Sarah Moore Greene for six months, assistant principal at Inskip for six months, curriculum and instruction facilitator at Chris-tenberry Elementary for a year and a half, and a special education teacher at Green Academy for six years.

She was honored as 2008 East Tennessee Principal of the Year and in 2009 as one of Knoxville’s 40 Under 40.

Wes Adcock has been the assis-tant principal since July 2011. Pre-viously he was administrative as-sistant for one year and a 5th grade teacher at Inskip for four years.

The community organization invites neighbors to volunteer to help.

The event is Saturday, Oct. 6, from 8:30 a.m. until 2 p.m. “as long as it doesn’t rain,” said asso-ciation president Betty Jo Mahan. A previous date was rescheduled because of weather.

“This is a traffic calming project to reduce speeding and make In-skip a more walkable community,” Mahan said. “The colorful mural will help focus the attention of drivers on this crucial crosswalk right in front of the elementary school.”

The mural was designed by Kristie Isbell, former art teacher at the school.

The Inskip Community Asso-ciation was started with help from Healthy Kids, Healthy Communi-ties, a childhood obesity preven-tion initiative led by the Knox County Health Department and funded through the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. Its goal is to connect neighbors through walk-ing routes and community events to improve health in Inskip, espe-cially among children.

High School Road will be closed to cars from 7:30 a.m. until 4 p.m. between Inskip Drive and Gleno-aks Drive as well as Mitchell Rd. Info: bettyjo.mahan@knoxmpc.org.

Majors to retire from UT Medical CenterNorman Majors, a long-

time ad-ministra-tor at the University of Tennes-see Medi-cal Center, will retire at the end of the year. He began

his career at the hospital in 1978.

UT Medical Center CEO Joe Landsman said, “Nor-man … is admired and

respected both inside and out of our organization because of his fairness, willingness to work with and develop others, and his dedication to improv-ing the heath care system for our community.”

Majors initially signed on for a temporary six-month assignment. He worked his way up through the years to his current title of senior vice president and chief administrative officer.

Among many other

professional accomplish-ments, Majors was instru-mental, along with the now deceased Dr. Bob Lash, in forming UT Lifestar.

A lifelong resident of East Tennessee, Majors grew up in Grainger County and worked as news director of a local radio station before enter-ing the health care field.

In addition to spend-ing time with his family, Majors plans to stay on part-time with the medi-cal center in 2013.

By Pam FanslerFirst Tennessee Bank

is proud to be, once again, a major sponsor of the Knoxville Area Urban League’s

2012 Equal Opportunity Awards Gala on Thurs-day, Oct. 25. Held at the Knoxville Convention Center, the evening be-gins with a reception at 6 p.m. with dinner, awards and entertain-ment at 7 p.m.

Besides being the Ur-ban League’s most sig-nificant fundraiser each year, the gala provides an opportunity for the group to honor busi-nesses and individuals.

The Minority Busi-ness award recognizes a minority-owned busi-ness that has made an economic as well as a social impact in the community. The Volun-teer of the Year award salutes an individual who has made a sig-nificant impact on the programs and services of the Knoxville Area Urban League and the community. The Corpo-rate Leadership award recognizes a company, governmental agency or entity that has shown sensitivity to diversity,

employment trends and/or special pro-gram involvement, and support of the Urban League and its mission.

First Tennessee Bank is proud to be a previ-ous recipient of the Corporate Leadership award.

The most prestigious award, the Whitney M. Young Lifetime Achievement award, is named to honor the fourth executive direc-tor of the National Ur-ban League. Previous winners include Helen Ashe and Ellen Turner, Robert Booker, Marga-ret and Felix Gaiter, Dr. Robert Harvey, Sarah Moore Greene and Glo-ria Garner.

This year’s entertain-ment will be provided by En Vogue, an Ameri-can female R&B vocal group from Oakland, Calif., which has won seven MTV Video Music Awards, four Soul Train Awards, six American Music Awards and seven Grammy nominations.

The Knoxville Area Urban League, an affili-ate of the National Ur-ban League, is dedicat-ed to empowering com-munities and changing lives. You can support their work by attending the Equal Opportunity Awards Gala on Oct. 25 or by volunteering your time and expertise in support of its programs.

Awards gala

FanslerGrey Kidwell lends a hand to “Belle” the macaw at Market Square. Photo by T. Edwards of TEPHOTOS.com

By Theresa EdwardsBelle is a macaw who en-

joys socializing. She was greeting people at Market Square Farmers Market al-with owner Chris Connone.

Belle was doing well, climb-ing onto the arm of those who offered it to her. “She prefers the left side,” Connone said when she would not go onto someone’s right arm.

She perched on Connone’s

left side, until a hawk ap-peared in a tree above. She became disturbed, climbed up her owner’s left arm, across her back and onto her right shoulder.

The hawk is a natural pred-ator of macaws, but did not bother Belle with her owner present.

Wild macaws use fl ight as a defense. With their long wings, they are very

powerful fl iers, and their long tail gives them agility as they maneuver through the forest. They usually nest high in treetops to view ap-proaching dangers, allow-ing them time to get away.

However, being domes-ticated, Belle has had her wings clipped and depends on Connone to protect her. Belle is about 14 years old. Macaws can live to be 70.

Mayor visits history class

By Shannon MorrisSusan Witt’s 7th grade class

at Grace Christian Academy’s Middle School was honored to receive a visit from Knox County mayor Tim Burchett Sept. 19. Burchett spoke to the students, not just about political issues, but also about his own life and calling into public service.

Burchett said he was raised in a godly home, where values that are important for society were in-stilled at a foundational level. His

interest in politics was sparked by these values, and the fact that he perceived a lack of integrity in local government. As a Knoxville native, Burchett felt that he could make a difference in the lives of his fellow Knoxvillians, encouraging them to take ownership in their communities and to work together to make our city a better place for all to live. In addition, Burchett spoke of the importance of mak-ing wise choices in life that will make a difference in the future.

Witt’s class was excited to have Knox County’s mayor pay them a personal visit, and they were challenged by his words of encouragement. We want to thank mayor Tim Burchett for taking time from his schedule to invest in the lives of our 7th grade students, and for reminding them that we all need to work in cooperation to make Knox-ville one of the best cities in America to call home.

By Shannon MorrisJosten’s, a provider of class

rings, graduation supplies and other items that bring school memories, hosted a special competition for the Grace Christian Academy ju-nior class this year, with the prize being a free class ring. Each 11th grade student was invited to go online to Josten’s website and design his or her own class ring. They were en-

couraged to do this more than once, as e ach design provided another entry into the contest, thus increasing the chances to win. After the results were in, one lucky Grace junior came away with a brand new class ring of his own. Heath Hatmaker is now walking the halls of Grace sporting a fl ashy new keepsake that will last him a lifetime. Congratu-lations, Heath!

Student wins some bling

By Shannon MorrisHomecoming is always one

of the highlights of the school year. It is a time when former students can return to the place where they created so many memories, and to renew old acquaintances. It’s no differ-ent at Grace Christian Acad-emy, as faculty and students past and present look forward to Friday, Oct. 5, for the annual celebration. The GCA football team will take on the Tellico Plains Bears that evening, and at halftime, the Homecoming Court will be presented and one young lady will be crowned Homecoming Queen.

Last week, the GCA student body nominated and elected their class representatives for the Homecoming court. The high school grades select one fe-male student each to represent their fellow students, and the senior class chooses three young ladies. The court is made up of all six of these princesses, and each will participate in the half-time activities during Home-coming. One of the three senior ladies will be crowned our 2012 Homecoming queen that night.

Being selected to the GCA Homecoming Court is a high honor for these ladies. Each of these girls are chosen by the

strong qualities they exhibit, including having good charac-ter, high integrity, school spirit, a solid grade point average and an overall love for our school. This year’s nominees are: fresh-man, Amanda Stooksbury; sophomore, Morgan Cleveland; junior, Brittany Lane; seniors, Leeanna Palmer, Elizabeth Seal and Madison Taylor.

Along with naming the Homecoming Queen, all GCA alumni are treated to special recognition at halftime. We truly treasure all of the students who have been a part of the Grace family, and we love seeing all of them on this special night.

Members of the Grace Christian Academy Homecoming Court are Elizabeth Seal, Leeanna Palmer, Madi-

Nick has been working in the pharmacy setting for the past six years. He put himself through college working

with various pharmacies while learning the various skills and procedures practiced by pharmacists nationwide.

While earning his doctorate through the Appalachian College of Pharmacy, he was president of the community

pharmacy organization and helped raise awareness of what a community pharmacy, such as Food City Pharmacy,

could do for the community in which it is located. Also, during his doctoral program he was trained in the art of

counseling patients, immunizing patients, and performing the duties of a pharmacist to highest degree of medi-

cal, legal and ethical standards. Nick was hired on to work with Food City Pharmacy immediately after gradu-

ation and started as a floating pharmacist then moved on to become the staff pharmacist at the Dandridge Food

City Pharmacy. Currently, Nick is pleased to serve as the Halls-Crossroads Food City Pharmacy Manager. It is his

pleasure to give counsel on and dispense medication. Additionally, Nick is certified to administer vaccinations

Jane Brannon takes the fi ght against breast cancer personally. The

executive director of Komen Knoxville is an 11-year breast cancer survivor herself.

“You get a new normal,” she says of her diagnosis. “Life’s never the same.”

The fi ght against the dis-ease even c h a n g e d Br a n non’s professional t rajector y. Two years after her d iag nosi s , she was on Komen Knoxville’s

board, and when the ex-ecutive director position opened up, she left her mar-keting job to come aboard.

Her goals now mirror the organization’s: to promote early breast cancer detec-

tion and to provide fund-ing for screenings. Last year, funding from Komen Knoxville provided screen-ings that found 43 breast cancers in the 16 counties it serves.

Komen Knoxville is the local affi liate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure. It was launched when local psy-chologist Renee Repka or-ganized the city’s fi rst Race for the Cure in 1997. One thousand participants were expected, but more than 2,000 showed up for the 5k run/walk. The Knoxville affi liate was incorporated as a nonprofi t in 1999.

More than 11,000 par-ticipated in the Komen Knoxville Race for the Cure last year. Around 85 percent of the local orga-nization’s annual revenue comes from race proceeds, says Brannon. The race not

only raises funds – it raises awareness.

“Everybody learns from the race, not just the run-ners,” she says. This year’s race is Saturday, Oct. 27.

Awareness is impor-tant, but it’s the next step – action – that trips many women up. Even affl uent, educated women in Ten-nessee still struggle with talking about breast cancer openly, says Brannon.

“We fi ght against the mores of the region.”

Focus groups have shown that African-Amer-ican women are particu-larly slow to get screened for breast cancer. Many of them view sickness as a sign of weakness.

It’s important that all women understand that outcomes are generally good for those who are di-

only raises ffu dnds – it raiisesawareness.

Komen Knoxville saves lives, funds research

The Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure is Oct. 27 at World’s Fair Park. To register: www.komenknoxville.org

Lifesaving tips from Susan G. Komen for the Cure ■ Know your risk by learning about your family health history and talking to your health care pro-

vider about your own personal risk.

■ Ask your doctor which screening tests are right for you if you are at a higher risk. Get screened by having a mammogram every year starting at age 40 if you are at average risk. Have a clinical breast exam at least every three years starting at age 20 and every year starting at age 40.

■ Know what is normal for you and report any changes to your health care provider right away.

■ Make healthy lifestyle choices that may reduce your risk of breast cancer.

agnosed early, she says.“If you are screened early,

you have a 99 percent chance of long-term survival.”

Many of the women in Komen Knoxville’s service area don’t have access to affordable health care and don’t have transportation. And while Knox County has several screening and treat-ment facilities, many sur-rounding counties do not.

That’s where Komen Knoxville comes in. The affi liate has provided $4.2 million in community grants since it began. Grant requests are reviewed by an independent commit-tee of community partners, which bases decisions on a bi-annual needs assess-ment. One recent grant recipient is the Dayspring Family Health Center in Jellico, Tenn., which pro-vides breast health aware-ness and mammography screening to uninsured and underinsured women in Campbell County.

The most encouraging news in the war on breast cancer is that treatment plans are now personal-ized based on the chance of recurrence. That means that fewer women are being

overtreated, Brannon says.The ultimate goal, of

course, is a cure. Komen Knoxville has raised $1.6 million for breast cancer re-search. Susan G. Komen for the Cure’s chief scientifi c adviser, Eric Winer, M.D., has said that he believes that, in his lifetime, breast

cancer will be treated as a chronic (controllable) dis-ease, like diabetes.

Until then, Komen Knox-ville will continue to push for better care for Knox and surrounding counties.

“We’ve saved lives, brought hope and funded research for cures,” says Brannon.

Quarter horse Yankee Gold helps Kim Henry, founder and director of Mane Sup-port. Mane Support is an equine-assisted grief coun-seling program designed to address the needs of chil-dren, youth and families faced with cancer. Photos by T. Edwards of TEPHOTOS.com

Chase, a rescue thoroughbred from the track, is one of the 10 horses at Mane Support. “Chase is really intui-tive,” Kim Henry said.

By Theresa Edwards

Mane Support is a non-profit counseling and sup-port ministry that reaches out to children, adults and families faced with grief and loss caused by cancer. All activities are conduct-ed on the ground. There is no riding.

The program is located in Maryville at 2919 Da-vis Ford Road, but wel-comes Knoxville residents as well. The founder and owner, Kim Henry, grad-uated from Karns High School and earned her master’s degree at UT.

“Mane Support is one of the greatest God-given gifts I could have ever asked for,” said Henry. “We hope to provide a place that is safe where people can share their grief, which is a life-changing process, not an

event. It’s about incorpo-rating that loss back into life again.

“The interaction and relationship people de-velop with the horses help. Horses have a great intu-itiveness, enabling them to reflect back to us some feelings that people keep to themselves,” said Henry.

For example, when someone is angry while saying they are not, the horse may be running around. “Horses are hon-est. They live life in the moment and don’t have an agenda,” she says. “They sense things about people.”

Chase works especially well with people who do not have good boundar-ies, who are quiet, not ex-pressing themselves. “He will get in their space,” Henry said. “For people who have lost their voice

metaphorically with the grief they feel, he’s really good in getting them to say they need help. He’s very intuitive.”

The horses also give comfort to people. One person who is now a board member used to come in each week and brush Char-lie Brown’s mane and cry. Finally, after about the fourth time, she revealed how she would stand and brush Charlie’s mane be-cause it was the last thing she got to do for her daugh-ter before she passed away, to brush her hair.

Charlie is the oldest horse and very arthritic because he was a jump-er. It’s very difficult for him to stand still. But he would stand perfectly still for the whole hour and let her brush his mane. “This speaks volumes to me

about what horses sense and what information they can give us,” said Henry.

In addition to the use of horses, Mane Support also does creative arts expres-sion, because not everyone grieves or communicates in the same way. “We try to find different means of communication, be it art, discussion, journaling or playing games,” Henry said.

Mane Support has a va-riety of support groups. Family support night is 6-7:30 p.m. every Tues-day and includes dinner. Changing reins is a wid-ows’ group meeting 5:30-6:30 p.m. Thursdays. Triple C Ranch meets Sat-urdays, a group for people facing a diagnosis of can-cer. In January, the trail makers’ group for breast cancer survivors of all ages

Skylar is known as the “smiling Elvis horse.” Kim Henry said, “He helps ease the pain. With his Elvis lips, he brings some laughter to otherwise not so happy times.”

Donna Mara Hardy was thrilled when she was chosen to participate in a Casting for Recovery re-treat hosted by Petticoat Junction Retreat in Nor-mandy, Tenn.

“It’s so beautiful, like a place from out of a book” she said. “I really enjoyed just being with other breast cancer survivors from across the state. We all had a chance to tell our stories and talk about our struggles as well as our joys. It was fun.

“I learned a lot about f ly fishing, working with a guide. We even learned how to tie f lies. It was like being a surgeon because it was such technical work. I also learned how to cast. It was a great chance to strengthen the muscles on my right side which were weak from the surgery. So the retreat was great for me both psychologi-cally as well as physically,” Donna said.

She has kept in touch with her new friends from the retreat via email. One

group from Nashville calls themselves the “Music City f ly-girls.”

Donna keeps busy, al-though she retired in June from South-Doyle Middle School where she was the assistant principal. “It’s a whole different world,” she said. She volunteers with the Thompson Cancer Sur-vival Center and the Amer-ican Cancer Society.

“South-Doyle was very supportive during my treatment,” she said. “Sev-eral of the teachers had T-shirts made, ‘Cherokees are survivors.’ It was a teachable moment for the students who would ask me questions. Some of the students and teachers gave me scarves. One boy gave me about 10 scarves. I probably have a scarf for every outfit.”

Women of Wisdom sup-port group has been help-ful for issues she faced before, during and after treatments. Her energy levels changed, requir-ing more rest. She had to be careful of her diet with doctor’s supervision.

Someone at the WOW group gave her Robin Rob-erts’ book “Eight Rules to Live By.” Rule 7 meant the world to her, “Keep faith, family and friends close to your heart.”

“Without my faith, without my family, with-out my friends, I would not have survived,” Donna said. “Someone was al-ways looking out for me.”

Donna has five sisters and three brothers. Her older brother, Audrey Hardy, had his church in Columbus, Ohio, involved. “I got a card in the mail every day,” she said.

She has many support-ive friends who stayed with her, encouraged her, watched out for her.

Another quote from Roberts’ book that im-pacted her life was “Make your mess your message.” From that, Donna pon-dered “OK, what am I go-ing to do with all of this?”

Donna has shared her testimony to others, giv-ing her message to the world, speaking at her church and other places.

Donna Mara Hardy:Casting for Recovery

“Cancer is a turning point. I realized it was time for me to do something dif-ferent,” Donna said. She is now taking seminary classes and plans to go on a mission trip to Jamaica with her church group. “My slogan is: Work to in-spire, not to retire,” she said. “You’re always grow-ing, always learning.”

Angie Cook in her offi ce at Beaver Dam Baptist Church. Photo by C. Taylor

By Cindy Taylor

Angie Cook was diagnosed with ag-gressive breast cancer on Sept. 21, 2010. When she was given the news, her pri-mary concern wasn’t for herself but for her family. With two children, Laura and Daniel, then 8 and 4 respectively, Cook’s first thought was about their care and how hard it would be for her husband, Tommy, if she couldn’t be there for them.

“I wasn’t afraid of dying. I am very secure in my faith,” said Cook. “I was scared for my children because they were so young. I knew God would take care of them but that fear was my initial reaction.”

Cook has a sister in Australia and her parents were visiting there when she was told about the cancer. For three weeks she had no female in her life that she could confide in while she waited for them to return to the states.

“I couldn’t tell them or anyone here because I didn’t want to break the news while they were so far away or have them

hear it from someone else,” said Cook. “I confided in my husband and in Mike (Bundon) because I knew they would keep it private.”

When her parents returned to their home in North Carolina, Cook still had to break the news by phone. They immedi-ately came to help during Cook’s surgery.

Two years later, Cook is now cancer free and looking to the future. She has worked at Beaver Dam Baptist Church for the past six years as music associate to former choir director Mike Bundon. With Bundon’s retirement in June, Cook has been moved to interim choir director but says that will not lead to a permanent position for her. With a master’s in music and a teaching background, she says her passion is for kids and children’s music.

A Halls resident for the past 12 years, and with both children in Halls Elemen-tary, Cook is hoping to achieve a posi-tion as a music teacher at the elementary school level.

Day-to-day joy

Today, Cook is an energetic, thank-ful and joyful person who is f lourishing physically, emotionally, and in her fam-ily and career. She says she never takes the day-to-day things for granted. She cuddles with her children more often, kisses on them and makes sure to tell her husband of 15 years how much she loves

him as often as possible.“God is my solid rock. He has prepared

me for this time in my life,” said Cook. “For me, getting up and leading the choir here is a miracle. I sometimes get weepy when we are singing because I realize how much God loves me and that He spared me. I know He still has a job for me to do.”

Judy Gray has now lived fi ve years as a breast can-cer survivor. After Judy underwent a mastectomy, Jan Harness, also a breast cancer survivor, gave her a small heart-shaped pil-low to place under her arm to help with the pain. This was such a blessing to Judy that she was inspired to fi nd a way to help oth-er women d i a g n o s e d with the dis-ease.

“The pillow fi ts underneath my arm and helped me so much by tak-ing the pres-sure off,” said Gray. “The Lord put it on my heart to provide this blessing to oth-ers, but I wasn’t quite sure how to begin.”

Gray found out that in her small church, Irwins Chapel UMC, there were at least four other women who had been diagnosed with breast cancer. This is a huge percentage in a church that has an aver-age attendance of 50. She made an announcement one Sunday that she would like to start a pillow min-istry, and to her shock 10

women showed up for the first meeting. Gray had only bought 1 yard of ma-terial thinking that would be all that was needed. It was used very quickly. She then bought 7 yards of ma-terial and the group went through that as well.

On one of her trips to UT Medical Center for

treatment, Gray visited the boutique. Betty Collins, who runs the boutique, asked if the group might consid-er making the pil-lows to give to oth-ers who had under-gone breast surgery.

As the ministry continued to grow so

did Gray’s cost. She was now buying

entire bolts of cloth.

“We are just a small church and I wasn’t sure how we were going to support

this ministry,” said Gray. “Donations started coming in and we knew God wanted us to do this.”

The group has grown in number and today most of the women in the church participate. To date they have made 990 pillows, all of which are given free of charge to anyone who requests them. The wom-en get together and cut, sew and stuff between 50 and 70 pillows each ses-sion. They have breakfast

They continue to supply

the boutique at UTMC and to individuals across the country. Each pillow has a tag that reads “Stitched and Stuffed with Prayers of Healing Blessings.” When the group has a large sup-

ply of pillows ready, pastor Gary Tye prays over and blesses them before they are sent out.

“Having breast can-cer has turned out to be a blessing,” said Gray.

“This has helped unite our church and allowed me to help others.”

In breast cancer detection, the test matters

Important facts every woman should know

One in eight American women will be di-agnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. However, early detection coupled with ad-vanced treatment options has cut mortality rates by a third in the U.S. over the past 20 years. Today, a new breakthrough technology is poised to provide a dramatic improvement

in breast cancer detection by making mam-mograms more detailed and accurate.

Catching breast cancer early

Studies show that when breast cancer is detected early the chance for successful treat-ment is nearly 100 percent. Mammograms are a critical component of a successful screening program. In fact, mammograms can identify an abnormal breast mass up to two years be-fore it can be detected by touch. It’s for this reason that the American Cancer Society rec-ommends every woman, every year, starting at the age of 40, get a mammogram.

3D mammographyChanging the face of breast can-

cer screeningA new imaging technology called 3D mam-

mography or breast tomosynthesis is chang-ing how doctors screen for breast cancer. This sophisticated technology signifi cantly im-proves breast cancer screening by identify-ing small cancers that may have been missed by traditional mammography. If cancers are found when they are small, treatment options are generally less traumatic and the chance for a cure is greater.

Another benefi t of 3D mammography is its ability to reduce stress-inducing call backs. As many as one out of 10 women who have a routine screening mammogram will be asked to come back for additional tests. The majority of these women - up to 80 percent -

Dr. Susan Curry, founder and medical director of the Women’s Center for Radiology in Or-

lando, says that 3D mammography makes a real diff erence in the center’s ability to diagnose

patients with dense breasts and women with other high-risk factors.

will experience what’s called a false-positive which means that an area that looked suspi-cious on their screening mammogram turned out, upon further testing, to be normal.

3D mammographymakes finding breast

cancers easierCurrent mammography relies on a 2D im-

age. However, this technology has its limits because the breast is a 3-dimensional object composed of different structures, such as blood vessels, milk ducts, fat, and ligaments. All of these structures, which are located at different heights within the breast, can over-lap and cause confusion when viewed as a 2-dimensional, fl at image. This confusion of overlapping tissue is a leading reason why small breast cancers may be missed and nor-mal tissue may appear abnormal, leading to unnecessary call backs. Many doctors have reported that the introduction of Hologic’s Selenia Dimensions tomosynthesis system improves breast cancer detection by over-coming many of the limitations inherent in conventional 2D mammography.

Although patients will notice little differ-ence between a 2D and a 3D mammogram, the 3D technology gives doctors a clearer view through the overlapping structures of breast tissue. Reading a breast tomosynthesis exam is like fl ipping through the pages of a book to view one page at a time instead of seeing the whole breast reduced to a single frame, as is the case with conventional 2D mammography. The ability to look at each layer of breast tis-sue millimeter by millimeter allows doctors to identify individual structures in the breast free from the confusion of overlying tissue.

The bottom lineWomen should talk to their physician about

the best screening program for them, based on their age, family history and medical profi le. Women need to pay attention to any changes, such as unusual lumps, swelling, irritation, dimpling, or pain in the breast or nipple. Fi-nally, women who are 40 and older should be sure to have a mammogram every year.

When Barbara George’s friend and colleague in the media busi-ness was diagnosed with a recur-rence of breast cancer 11 years ago, George volunteered to help her fi gure out her next steps. But what they did not fi nd surprised them.

“We thought, here we are as marketers and we’re having trou-ble fi nding needed resources in our community. What diffi culties might others also be having?” says George of Kansas City, Mo. “We were looking for resources - like wig shops, local support groups and even local physicians - but fi nding them was proving to be time-consuming and unsuccess-ful. It was really frustrating.”

The two women started re-searching local resources for peo-ple living with cancer. They felt

strongly that a comprehensive, lo-cal resource guide fi lled with can-cer information for the newly di-agnosed could truly help others on their cancer journey. They collabo-rated with George’s friend’s doctor at the University of Kansas Cancer Center to make this a reality.

In 2001, George created Cancer Matters, a grassroots, community-based initiative, aimed at tackling this information gap that faced in-dividuals living with cancer and their loved ones. She developed the Cancer Matters Resource Guides, free booklets featuring a compre-hensive listing of local cancer-related businesses and services. Resources include cancer support groups, hospital services, home health and more. They also provide tips for the newly diagnosed and in-

formation on health and wellness. “The beauty of these guides is

that they are local, comprehensive and were developed by someone who has walked in your shoes,” says George. “I am hopeful that in the fu-ture, we can bring Cancer Matters to all cities across the nation.”

These comprehensive resource guides are available in 35 U.S. cit-ies. The guides are updated and dis-tributed annually to local hospitals, physician’s offi ces, nonprofi t orga-nizations and support groups. They are also available online at Cancer-Matters.com or by calling 913-385-7332. Cancer Matters is supported by Lilly Oncology. Lilly Oncology does not control the content of the resource guides or website.

Breast cancer affects millions of women, which in turn affects their families and their friends.

You don’t have to have breast cancer in order to help raise awareness of it and provide comfort. There are things you can do to take on this disease and make a difference in your own life and in the lives of others while providing much-needed comfort and support.

Team Up with FriendsMultiply your impact on breast cancer awareness by

getting a group of friends together to take action:Host a Fundraising Party. Put together a girls’

night out or a potluck dinner party, and challenge guests to bring donations to support breast cancer re-search.

Get Moving. Sign up as a group to participate in a walk or run event that raises awareness or funds.

Volunteer Together. Check out local breast cancer awareness events and fi nd ways your group of friends can serve together. If there isn’t a local event, sponsor one of your own. Visit www.NationalBreastCancer.org to fi nd out how.

Give Comfort to OthersYou can personalize and send free virtual Comfort Pack-

ages to friends and family via a digital tool on the Hanes Facebook page. For each package sent, Hanes will donate $1 to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc. (up to $25,000) to promote early cancer detection and provide mammograms for those in need.

The Comfort Package is fully customizable with photos, videos, recipes, T-shirt designs, music and messages. Sending a Comfort Package is one of many gestures that can brighten someone’s day and help pro-vide support and comfort to a loved one.

As a longtime supporter of breast cancer awareness, Hanes has made cash and in-kind donations totaling $1 million since 2009 and is donating up to $125,000 to NBCF this year. Learn more at www.Facebook.com/Hanes or www.HanesPink.com.

Buy and Wear Pink ProductsThe next time you are at the grocery store or the mall,

think about purchasing the pink version of your favorite items. Your purchase can help raise money as well as aware-ness for the cause.

In addition, wearing your favorite pink items is a styl-ish way to show support and demonstrate your commit-ment. Consider wearing pink once a week in October to feel connected to the cause.
