If you have kids in fourth or fifth grade this year, you may have noticed that math is harder than it used to be – a lot harder. That’s because Tennessee, along with 44 other states and three territories, is adopting national Common Core State Standards in math, English and language arts. That’s why good math teachers, like Amber Hodge at Rocky Hill Elementary, are so important.

By Suzanne Foree Neal and Sherri Gardner Howell As the new Costco Warehouse Club metal bay door rolled open at 7:45 a.m. Friday, Nov. 9, cheers rang out from the crowd and sunlight flooded the entrance to the store. Minutes later, the ribbon had been cut, and the shopping had begun. It was a bright and happy day for the town of Farragut.

Early sign-ups are pushing 6,000, and Frasure said opening day is always a big day to sign up new members. “By way of comparison,” she said, “the new Sarasota store that currently holds the record signed

up more than 900 new members on opening day. This store is tracking to surpass that.” One couple who were ready with their buggy in the front of the line didn’t have to worry about signing up.

Preschool pioneer Program at Concord UMC reaches golden milestone By Suzanne Foree Neal The late Helen McKinney was ahead of her time when she came up with an idea to help young children get an early start on their education. In the early 1960s, “preschool” meant anything before first grade, which was when public education officially began. McKinney “saw a need in the community,” said the co-director of the Weekday Preschool at Concord United Methodist Church, Pat Kegley. McKinney started a kindergarten that is now the preschool program and is celebrating its 50th anniversary. The private kindergarten at the church at 11020 Roane Drive began under McKinney’s tutelage and vision in 1962. On Nov. 4, parents, children, staff and friends gathered to celebrate those 50 years. When Knox County added a halfday kindergarten in 1974, McKin-

Vegas in 2011, along with a letter from Farragut mayor Ralph McGill encouraging the nation’s fifth largest retailer to look at Farragut, came to fruition on Friday. As the wholesale giant opened for business in the town of Farragut, McGill and Knox County mayor Tim Burchett both expressed gratitude and high hopes for the new store. “This is a good day for Farragut and a good day for Costco,” said McGill, just before the ribbon was cut. “We are so happy you are here. You

ney expanded the church’s program to include 3- and 4-year-olds to take care of any declining enrollment. There have only been six directors in those 50 years, something codirector Pat Rapkowicz believes is a testament to the strength of the school. Mother’s Day Out and afterschool care were added in 1976 by Mary Ann Perdue. When McKinney retired in 1983 after 21 years as director, Debbie Thompson became nursery school coordinator, and Perdue continued to head up the programs she began. A year later, the pre-kindergarten classes were added to the nursery school program. In 1988, Patty Bowlin was named nursery school coordinator. Programs were combined in 1991 to become Concord Weekday Preschool, providing both full and half-day options. Bowlin and Perdue served as co-directors and Kegley as assistant director. Kegley took over as a co-director in 1998. Rapkowicz joined Kegley as a codirector in 2009. “We’re here today because in

FARRAGUT SHOPPER-NEWS • NOVEMBER 12, 2012 • A-3 Kyoko Yamamoto runs out in front of David Fairchild to reach the finish line at the Farragut Fall 5K Run with a time of 25:32.3. The run, held at Mayor Bob Leonard Park, also featured a Fun Walk and Pet Parade and was a fundraiser for the Farragut West Knoxville Chamber of Commerce education grants and YoungWilliams Animal Center.

Moving on Farragut Fall Run settles into new time with success Sometimes moving is a good thing. The Farragut Fall 5K Run, Fun Walk and Pet Parade, a fundraiser for the Farragut West Knoxville Chamber and Young-Williams Animal Center, put a few more hot weather weeks in the rear-view mirror when the date changed from September to November. The 200-plus participants on Saturday, Nov. 3, seemed happy for the change.

Sherri Gardner Howell FARRAGUT FACES The run is a favorite for many because the asphalt route begins on Watt Road, which is closed to traffic, ambles through Sedgefield subdivision and finishes at Mayor Bob Leonard Park. The 5K course is limited to runners and joggers, with a Fun Walk and Pet Parade taking place on a separate course inside the park. Several of the participants had many things to celebrate. Dr. Alan Gassel, 62, finished third in the Male 60 to 65 category. Gassel, owner of Concord Veterinary Hospital, is an avid runner. In February, however, he was participating in the Myrtle Beach marathon when he had a heart attack on mile 18 of the course and

Warm welcome the fact that they stand behind what they sell.” On Thursday night, an invitation-only party event offered a sneak peek. The Thursday meeting of the Board of Mayor and Aldermen was pushed back 30 minutes to allow officials more time at the party. “It’s pretty impressive,” McGill said of his first impression. He said the town works every day to try to get businesses like Costco Warehouse Club into the town. “Costco came to the right place,” said McGill. “I know we’ll have to deal with some traffic problems for a while, but that will get better.” Farlow Drive is being realigned to create an intersection with the Kingston Pike entrance to the store. At the preview party, Alderman Jeff Elliott was taking in the merchandise, but joked that his favorite part of the evening was the food. “The store is brighter and has more spacious aisles than its competition,” he said. “I think it’s very well laid out and has very nice people. We’ve been told by experts that when you attract one big-box store, you can attract others. We want to balance that with the mom and pop stores, too.” Elliott said Costco’s opening shows you can attract new business outside the Turkey Creek development. “It’s encouraging,” he said.

The 5K run was a sweet return to an activity he enjoys for veterinarian Alan Gassel of Concord Veterinary Hospital, smiling here after completing the Fall 5K Run. Gassel, a seasoned runner, collapsed with a nearfatal heart attack around mile 18 in February while running in the Myrtle Beach Marathon.

was revived by CPR. He was “clinically dead” after he collapsed and was in a coma for several days. First place in Overall Male went to Taylor Prislovsky, a Farragut High School senior, with a time of 18:49.6. Amy Viars took first place in Overall Female, with a time of 20:44.8. In addition to the serious runners, the pet walk and fun run also had a good crowd, as pet owners walked or trotted with their dogs, and moms and dads pushed strollers around the walking course. For official race results, visit http://totalrace.net/upload/farragut_fall_overall_ finish_gender_combined. htm.

From page A-1 Angel Farner and Billie Rich were making slow progress through the store. “I’ve been down two aisles,” Rich joked. “I’m glad to have a Costco in town.” Farner said she was impressed by the quality, prices and location. Derek and Karen Heffron were checking out the store as well. The couple bought a membership card before the preview party, despite never having been in a Costco. Katie and Lorena Wheatley and Gail VanHoozier were comparing notes. “It’s amazing,” VanHoozier said. “I’ve been in a West Coast Costco so I’m excited to get one here. I’m writing Christmas notes on my hand because I don’t have any paper.”

Amy Viars and her husband, Jeff, enjoy some time after the race. Amy, of Powell, was the first woman to finish, with a time of 20:44.8.

Jason Hicks watched his children play while remembering his time as a member of the Class of 1979. “I remember it being the first real organized activity I did,” he says. “I made lots of friends and felt real comfortable because I went to church here. It was natural for my kids to go here.” He and his wife, Jennifer, have a daughter Janie, 9, a graduate of the preschool, and twins Caroline and Catie, 5, at the school now. “The whole staff is so loving and caring, and you know your children are learning and

having fun,” Jennifer Hicks says. Kelli Coyne has logged seven years between her two children, Isabella, 8, and Brody, 4. “I was looking for a Mother’s Day Out and this one continuously was mentioned by the moms I asked. I love it. It takes me 25 minutes to drive here, but it’s worth it.” Ernie Mezga started helping in the classroom “20-something” years ago when her children were in preschool and eventually ended up teaching. Monica Hill also became a teacher after her child started attending the school. “I watch the kids learn and see the light bulb go on,” said Mezga. “Suddenly, they get it, and that makes me happy.”

Congrats, Gloria (sort of) The morning after Election Day, Gloria Johnson was right back at Precinct 33, operating on a couple hours’ sleep. Teaching special education at Richard Yoakley Transition School (aka Precinct 33, which she carried by four percentage points) is her day job, and she’d burned all her personal leave time running for the House seat recently vacated by longtime officeholder Harry Tindell. So despite having stayed up all night at the election commission while officials counted some 4,000 absentee ballots, Johnson was back in the classroom when the bell rang last Wednesday, dog-tired and running on adrenaline. She’d won a hard-fought race most politicos had predicted she’d lose, because her opponent Gary Loe was (A) a Republican, (B) wellfinanced, and (C) endorsed and supported by Gov. Bill Haslam. The 13th District used to favor Democrats but has been redrawn with a slight Republican tilt. The good news for Johnson is she won. And she did it the oldfashioned way – with hard work, a decent amount of money, a horde of volunteers and a stellar ground game (a Nashville fundraiser starring Emmy Lou Harris and a robocall by Morgan Freeman were icing on the cake). She lost the early vote, but a vigorous get-out-thevote effort put her on top of the Election Day total. Loe had to make do with about $100,000 worth of (mostly

Republicans have built super-majorities in both legislative houses, which means they won’t need Democrats for a quorum and can cut off debate at will. Johnson will be one of 28 Democrats in a sea of 70 Republicans and one independent. And if she thought the work product of last year’s General Assembly was bad, she better fasten her seatbelt for this year’s kamikaze ride.

Tennessee legislators have been dragging their heels, first counting on the Supreme Court to strike down the hated Obamacare, and then pinning their hopes on President Romney’s promise to dismantle it upon taking office in January 2013. Oops. So soon after upbeat, optimistic Gloria Johnson takes the oath of office, she’ll be entangled in the argument to decide whether to set up a health care insurance exchange or let the feds do it. And even more difficult (since the Supreme Court declined to enforce the provision turning the states’ Medicaid programs over to the federal government), Johnson and her colleagues must decide whether Tennessee should run its own Medicaid program or allow the feds to take over. This decision traps legislators between the rock of Tea Party intransigence and

The year-old photos were taken over several days. It was quite a production with ladders used to position the cameras correctly. The original home was built in 1916 in a prairie style of the day. Southern Living may feature the gardens of Knoxvillians Joe and Sharon Pryse, who live on Kingston Pike in its fall 2013 issue. Sharon Pryse is president of the Trust Company. ■ Ten days ago I had lunch with Harry Tindell, whose legislative seat Gloria Johnson, Nick Cazana and Gary Loe battled over. He predicted then that only 100 votes would separate the top two. I had been saying it would be 500 votes and it turned out to be 296 votes.

Loe carried early voting by roughly 500 votes and lost on Election Day by 1,000 votes. Johnson clearly had a superior Election Day operation, assisted by Mayor Rogero’s active organization. Gov. Haslam’s popularity, breakfast and TV commercials did not turn the tide for Loe, whose campaign never seemed to catch fire. Interestingly, Nick Cazana, a cousin to the developer of the same name, got more than 1,000 votes as an independent. My guess is most came off Loe as the Cazana name is more identified as a Republican. Loe was thrown off guard early on when the GOP-dominated Election Commission closed Belle Morris School as a voting precinct at an 8 a.m. meeting without consulting the neighborhood. Loe declined to take a position on it while Johnson milked it for all it was worth, to her credit.

This is Loe’s second loss after losing to state Rep. Steve Hall two years ago in a GOP primary. Johnson’s challenge will be to reach out to those Repubicans and independents who voted for her. In traditional Sequoyah, Loe carried it on Election Day by just one vote, 402 to 401. Romney carried the district by 1,000 votes, so obviously many Romney voters backed Johnson although she was an Obama delegate to the Democratic convention in Charlotte. ■ KUB has seven commissioners and today only two of them live inside the city of Knoxville as Pace Robinson recently moved from his longtime West Hills home to west Knox County.

Has the worm really turned? My Vanderbilt insider says the worm has turned. The Commodores are on their way. Great coaching, bold recruiting, exciting format. They look to the future with optimism. The future is Saturday. For generations Vanderbilt has boasted of academic excellence as if athletic success was insignificant or incompatible. Heaven help us if the already unbearable Commodores develop into a Southeastern Conference football power. Imagine that, “Commodores” and “football power” in the same sentence. Just in case they destroy this Tennessee season, here

Marvin West

are some memories from the good, old days. Save them for medicinal purposes. In 1926, Nathan W. Dougherty hired Robert R. Neyland with a firm suggestion to stop Vanderbilt domination. It took a few minutes. The new coach had to gather better players. His Flamin’ Sophomores, seven in the starting lineup, ended the foolishness.

Don’t leave me here The whole congregation of the Israelites complained against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness. The Israelites said to them, “If only we had died by the hand of the Lord in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the fleshpots and ate our fill of bread; for you have brought us out into this wilderness to kill this whole assembly with hunger. (Exodus 16: 2-3 NRSV) Did you ever set off on an adventure, anticipating Cross a wonderful time, only to Currents discover that things were Lynn a lot tougher than you exHutton pected? I readily admit that my mental picture of the Israelites’ exodus from Egypt is shaped as much by Ce- Ten Commandments” as by cil B. deMille’s movie “The my reading of the book of

Since 1927, the record is 71-9-2. My favorite game was 1994, Tennessee 65-0 in downtown Nashville. That was a Saturday the Commodores were hoping to become bowl eligible. Unmerciful? Reserves played. The Vols gained a thenrecord 665 yards. Freshman quarterback Peyton Manning showed promise. Nine Vols scored touchdowns – James Stewart, Nilo Silvan, Billy Williams, Aaron Hayden, Joey Kent, David Horn, Chester Ford, Ronnie Pillow and Jay Graham. So many extra points and kickoffs caused John Becksvoort’s leg to cramp.

I still treasure 1963. Mallon Faircloth, the last singlewing tailback, ran for 179 yards. Frank Emanuel recovered a fumble to set up a Stan Mitchell touchdown. Tennessee defeated Vandy 14-0 in Jim McDonald’s final day as coach. There was a crazy comeback in 1987. The Vols couldn’t stop the option and trailed 28-3 in the second quarter. They finally figured it out and won, 38-36. Reggie Cobb, William Howard and Jeff Francis were pacesetters. Vanderbilt was always George Cafego’s game back when Tennessee had coaches who knew who he was. The Hall of Fame tailback and longtime assistant, the epitome of a Volunteer, hated the Commodores with a purple passion. The impoverished lad had

escaped the coal mines in scruffy Scarbro, W. Va., and arrived at UT with holes in his shoes and overalls. His worldly possessions were in one cardboard suitcase tied up with string. Yes, this is one of my favorite things. Vanderbilt was another world, easy street, linen napkins, silver spoons. Cafego was never clear on the spelling or definition of pomposity but he was convinced Vanderbilt was full of it. For years, Vanderbilt week was his turn to motivate. His pep talks were “colorful.” George died in February 1998. For the Vanderbilt game, equipment man Max Parrott wrote “Coach Cafego” on the blackboard in the locker room. The game was dedicated to his memory. Tennessee won, 41-0. So many warm and

fuzzy recollections … Willie Gault returned the 1980 second-half kickoff for a touchdown and John Ward said “he’s running all the way to the state capitol.” Dale Carter may have triggered the pregame fight in 1991. In 1993, Tennessee scored 27 in the second quarter and romped, 62-14. Charlie Garner was good. Vandy almost cost Tennessee the 1951 national championship. Bill Wade passed the Vols dizzy. UT got a clinching TD from Andy Kozar with five seconds to spare, making it 35-27. The afternoon ended with an old-fashioned free-for-all. Tennessee won.

Exodus. I mean, I am pretty clear that the pharaoh Ramses looked just like Yul Brynner. The Israelites had not been out of bondage in Egypt for long when they began to look back wistfully at their life as slaves. “At least we had food in Egypt,” they complained. “Meat stews, and nourishing bread! Now we have nothing! What good is freedom if we starve?” They had left behind the fleshpots – those bubbling meat stews. The Children of Israel were in a wilderness where water was scarce, animals were wild, crops were impossible, and shelter was difficult. Worse still, the Land of

Milk and Honey was still a distant dream, or worse, a mirage. So what does one do when one finds oneself stuck in an untenable position? Stuck, for example, in the no-man’s-land between the fleshpots and the milk and honey? When realization dawns, one cries, “Don’t leave me here! Get me out of here! Help me!” And therein lies the Good News. God never leaves us where God finds us. God will nudge, push, pull, coax, lead, entice, call and command, but God will never give up on us. Now, to be fair, that is also the Bad News.

When God gets hold of us, and has work and purpose for us, God is tenacious, persistent, even insistent. God may well call us out of our comfort zone, into places we never expected to be, knowing things we never expected to know, working with people we never expected to meet. In my mind, this phenomenon is best summarized by Albert Schweitzer’s final paragraph in his book “The Quest for the Historical Jesus.” As is so often the case, I learned this text by singing it, in a wonderful setting by composer Jane Marshall. I keep these words posted on the fridge in my kitch-

en, and on the bulletin board in my office at work: “He comes to us as One unknown, without a name, as of old by the lakeside, He came to those men who knew Him not. He speaks to us, He speaks the same word: “Follow! Follow! Follow thou Me!” And sets us to the tasks which He has to fulfill for our time. He commands. And to those who obey Him, whether they be wise or simple, He will reveal Himself in the toils, the conflicts, the sufferings which they shall pass through in His fellowship. And as an ineffable mystery, they shall learn in their own experience who He is.”

Buy AmericanMade Sinks! Hip Hip Hooray for American-made Elkay Manufacturing! Elkay filed petitions that initiated an investigation by the United States Department of Commerce against Chinese imported stainless steel sinks that were selling from 54.25 percent to 76.53 percent of the U.S. sales price. Yikes! It’s hard to compete against cheap! The U.S. Commerce folks’ preliminary decision in September 2012 requires Chinese competitors to pay cash deposits on stainless steel sinks imported into the U.S. Amounts range from 50.28 to 76.15 percent of the customs value of the imports. This is a gi-normous win! This ruling helps to protect U.S. jobs. Elkay is America’s number one selling stainless steel sink company with 3500 U.S employees. Most of these Chinese sinks are cheapo’s made of a grade of stainless steel inferior to Elkay’s. The lower the stainless gauge number, the thicker, which helps reduce scratching & noise. The ’ol “pay for what ya get” rule is dead-on here! This Fed ruling will make the imports more in line with American-made pricing. Before you go shellin’ out your hard earned bucks on a swanky new stainless sink, ask where it’s made. Buy American-made and let the bucks stop here! Shop by Modern Supply’s Lovell Road showroom and take a peek at Elkay sinks. They have fab sinks in every shape, size and configuration. My design sistas will be tickled pink to help.

Kitchens are the heart of the home and used for so much more than preparing food. They’re a gathering place and often an extension of the family living area. People today are staying in their homes longer and are remodeling to suit their taste and lifestyle and not just for resell value. Statistics show a kitchen remodel has the largest pay-back of any home remodel. A lot of factors may influence the decision to remodel. Are your kitchen cabinets beginning to fall apart? Are dated appliances at the end of their life? Want to open up the area by removing a wall? Need more storage and better traffic flow? All great reasons! The biggest remodeling concern is budget. A justified concern since large, showstopper kitchen costs can soar. However, they don’t have to! By taking a hard look at your must-have’s, deciding which things you can live without, and choosing the right products, your remodel can be within reach. Cabinetry and hardware account for approximately twenty-nine percent of a kitchen remodeling budget according to the National Kitchen and Bath Association.

Shopper-News Presents Miracle Makers

Teaching math By Wendy Smith If you have kids Rocky Hill Elementary School teacher Amin fourth or fifth ber Hodge looks on as Ryan Hood and grade this year, you Chloe Stewart complete TCAP practice tests. may have noticed Hodge is one of two Knox County teachers that math is harder who are finalists for the Presidential Award than it used to be – of Excellence in Math and Science Teaching. a lot harder. There are six finalists from Tennessee. That’s because Tennessee, along with 44 other states and three territories, is adopting national Common Core State Standards in math, English and language arts. In Tennessee, the standards have been implemented in math this year, and will be implemented in English and language arts next year. The goal is for all U.S. students to receive a consistent, highquality education. That’s why good math teachers, like Amber Hodge at Rocky Hill Elementary, are so important. Hodge is one of three math teachers in finalist for the Presidential Award the state that has been chosen as a of Excellence in Math and Science Teaching. Karla Fultz, who teaches 5th grade at A. L. Lotts Elementary, is one of three finalists in the science category. One math teacher and one science teacher from each state will receive the national award. Hodge was nominated by her former principal at Annoor Academy, a private Islamic school where she taught for six years before coming to Rocky Hill this year. Getting nominated was the easy part. Nominees are required to fill out a 15-page application detailing a lesson plan on a difficult subject, all research, how well the lesson was received, and ideas for improvement. Hodge chose a lesson on fractions, which is the most Ethan Fancher plays Stack the States on one of 10 challenging math skill iPads used in Amber Hodge’s 4th grade classroom. for 4th and 5th gradPhotos by Wendy Smith ers, she says.

Students aren’t the only ones who are thrown for a loop by the new math curriculum. Parents are confused, too, because Common Core math looks different from what they learned in school. There are fewer standards, but concepts are explored with more depth. She gives the example of doubledigit multiplication. Her students learn partial product multiplication, where tens and ones places are multiplied separately then added together. The approach seems more complicated than long multiplication to parents, but gives the students a better understanding of place value. “It’s a better approach, for the most part. Common Core is a good direction to go. It’s getting kids to think about math, not just do math.” The lesson Hodge submitted on her Presidential Award application utilized iPads. She wrote a grant to purchase 10 iPads that are shared by the 25 students in her class, and says the students are better engaged by technology than pencil and paper. “They were born into technology. It’s instinctive and natural for them.” When students are engaged, they’re self-motivated. One of the most popular applications on the iPads is a game called Stack the

States. Learning state names is part of the 5th grade curriculum, but many of her students already know them from playing the game, Hodge says. Her classroom is one of two at the school that has wireless Internet access. The other belongs to 5th grade teacher Jordan Haney, who won a $25,000 technology grant in ORAU’s Extreme Classroom Makeover contest in 2010. The school has 10 iPads that students can check out from the library, and there are plans to purchase 20 more by Christmas. Funds from the school’s new foundation have been set aside to make Rocky Hill Elementary the first in the county to offer wireless Internet service in all classrooms, says school principal Corey Smith. He is waiting to hear how much funding the project will receive from Knox County. He’s also anticipating further accomplishments from Amber Hodge. “She’s been a great addition to our staff, and we’re looking forward to great things from her in the future.” Hodge and Fultz were honored as finalists at the Opryland Hotel in mid-October. National winners will be named next summer.

NEWS FROM ATTORNEY REBECCA BELL JENKINS

Providing legal protection for veterans and others By Rebecca Bell Jenkins This Veterans Day reminds us once again of the sacrifices so very many brave men and women in the military have made in the past and continue to make. Your service protected both your country and your families. We thank each of you for your courage and for your service. We have many proud veterans among the clients in our family law practice, in both our office at Franklin Square in West Knoxville and in our office at 534 West Emory Road in Powell. Our clients, both retired and active military men and women, continue to protect and take care of their families by having the correct legal documents in place so that nothing is left to conjecture in a time of urgency or a true emergency. All of us should follow them in this matter.

One aspect of family law is estate planning, which typically involves three critical documents: a will, which everyone 18 years or older who has assets and/or children should have; a Health Care Power of Attorney document, which speciﬁes who can make decisions for you on health care if you become incapacitated and a Durable General Power of attorney which states who will handle your ﬁnancial matters if you become incapacitated. The practice of family law has become increasingly important to our everyday lives as more and more families are faced with the realities of divorce and post-divorce,

including matters of spousal support, child custody, juvenile court issues (required to protect children in situations where the parents aren’t married) and myriad other complications, misunderstandings and disputes that can arise. In our ou practice we know that it is exkno tremely important to really listen to our clients. We pride ourselves on listening carefully and also on making certain that our clients understand every aspect of their case and how it will be handled. This is the most productive way to have the desired legal outcome. In addition to serving clients

Experience Smokies history at the Foothills Fine Craft Fair True Appalachian crafts are treasured heirlooms, and Jim McGie is one of a handful of artisans who still work with only traditional hand tools in the old ways of the Smoky Mountain woodworkers. McGie’s award-winning rockers are included in the permanent collection of the Tennessee State Museum, and his work is well-known for its unique blend of art and utility. Sitting in one of his rockers is like savoring a piece of Smoky Mountain history. Says McGie, “Each piece has a distinct personality of its own with a hand-rubbed ﬁnish that is applied with lots of TLC. My goal is to keep the historical techniques of making ﬁne crafts on the forefront, so they will not be forgotten.” McGie also teaches a variety of workshops that focus on keeping the old ways of Appalachian crafts-making alive. Emphasizing traditional woodworking techniques and the creative spirit of country living, a sampling of his unique workshops includes chair making, shaving horse construction, hewing old-time dough bowls, spoon carving, poplar bark basket making and hickory bark weaving.

Dane Despins is no stranger to large families. The Farragut High School senior has three older sisters and is one of triplet sons of Robert and Lucy Despins. His family grew last year, however, as he spent a year in France as part of the Rotary Youth Exchange program, living with three host families during the year as well as being a “brother” to the other students in the Rotary program. Dane, a National Merit Scholar, was the guest of the Rotary Club of Farragut last week at Fox Den Country Club. He entertained those gathered with stories and quips about his year abroad, while also expressing gratitude to the Rotary for this “life-changing” experience. Dane spent his year in Thionville, France, in the Lorraine region of the country. “That’s Lorraine of the Quiche Lorraine fame,” Dane told the group. “I learned to eat a lot of different things – escargot, rabbit, frogs – so eating Quiche Lorraine and éclairs was a pleasure.” The people in the region are very serious about their Quiche Lorraine, he added, “with battles and arguments over which is the best and original recipe.”

Lucy Despins poses with her son Dane, a senior at Farragut High School, at the Rotary Club of Farragut meeting. Dane spent a year in France as part of the Rotary Youth Exchange program. Photo by Sherri Gardner Howell There were a lot of exchange students in the Rotary District that included Thionville, Dane said, and the other students “become your family. We met almost every weekend, and we would go on excursions, which gave us the opportunity to visit a lot of other countries. I want to thank you for supporting me for what was a great experience.” When asked about the French attitude toward Americans, Dane replied that the adults were about “50/50” in whether they liked Americans or not, but “the kids all love Americans,” he said. “They asked a thousand questions about everything over here – mostly about Mc-

Donalds and entertainment – but they are fascinated with anything American.” Also guests at the meeting were the teacher sponsor and ofﬁcers of the Rotary Interact Club at Farragut High School, which is led by student president Dale Read and faculty sponsor Michelle Brossett. The student club outlined the events they have on the schedule for coming months, which include Treats for Troops, the Santa Project, Paws for a Cause, the Western Heights Baptist Center gift and holiday baskets and Shelter Boxes. Rotary Club of Farragut meets at noon on Wednesdays at Fox Den Country Club. Info: www.FarragutRotary. org.

Paideia Academy student Sarah Sieple takes a breather while picking berries at CAC Beardsley Farm in Knoxville. dedicated to sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ and the love of God around the world. The hallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s primary interest is in supporting the organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work that helps build and sustain orphanages in India. Apostles Hall student Sydney Rennich has been to India on a mission trip with her church, Christ Covenant Presbyterian, to serve the orphanages there. Last year, she helped organize a bake sale at Paideia Academy to make a donation toward purchasing generators for the orphanages. Capstone Ministries also has an Orphanage Partner program through which $240 per year will provide room, board and education for one child. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have found real joy in helping others that we cannot get from helping ourselves,â&#x20AC;? Sydney said. Nicene Hall is working with CAC Beardsley Farm, an urban demonstration site promoting food security and sustainable urban agriculture which provides fresh produce to people in need. CAC Beardsley Farm grows a large variety of fruits, vegetables and nuts on six and a half acres of public park and has

a half-acre demonstration site. All of the vegetables raised at Beardsley Farm are donated to Family Crisis Center, Bridge Refugee Services, Knox Area Rescue Ministries and Western Heights Baptist Center. The students assist by pulling weeds, planting, pruning, harvesting and doing other general garden maintenance. The students hope to gain a deeper understanding of the historically agrarian cultures they are studying while building a strong work ethic and benefitting others. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want us to be a part of putting food in the hands of those who need it. I also want students to see the whole cycle: seed, rain, growth, harvest, distribution,â&#x20AC;? said Ryan Garner, dean of Nicene Hall. The students enjoyed serving at the pancake breakfast and have enjoyed their early work with their charities. They agree that hard work is energizing and empowering, and they like working at projects that address real human needs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want our school to be about more than academics,â&#x20AC;? said Cowart.

Your best shot

Vaccinations can save lives of today’s seniors It started quietly in the Summer of ’57. A small outbreak here, another there. But when the kids returned to school that fall, the numbers began to climb as a new influenza virus from the Far East began taking its toll. By December, it seemed to wane. But by February, the flu returned with a vengeance, eventually taking the lives of 69,800 people in the United States alone. The 1957-58 flu pandemic wasn’t the worst on record – that distinction belongs to the Spanish flu pandemic of 1918-19 which claimed the lives of 675,000 Americans and 50 million worldwide. But that ’57-’58 pandemic – the second-worst on record – and the lesser pandemics that have followed likely still live in the memories of many of today’s seniors. Those pandemics should serve as a reminder of just how important it is to not only receive a flu vaccination each year, but to take precautions against other diseases as well. “Many people worry about their elderly parents or relatives driving at an advanced age, but what they may not realize is that seniors are actually more likely to die from the flu or pneumonia,” said Dr. Jeffery Boruff, an internal medicine physician with Parkwest Medical Center. “In fact, the Centers for Disease Control reports that flu and pneumonia combine to rank seventh on the list of the leading causes of death among seniors 65 and older.” The flu kills an average of 36,000 people a year in the U.S. with most of those deaths occurring among adults 65 and older. Yet, Boruff said, many seniors are reluctant to get vaccinated against the flu because of misinformation or outright myths. Perhaps the most common myth is the belief that getting the vaccine can give you the flu. According to the National Foundation for Infectious Disease, there is no way that can happen because the flu vaccine only includes the DEAD virus. “In years past, some mild side effects of the vaccine – headaches, fever and nausea to name a few – were mistaken for the flu,” said Boruff. “But today, the most common side effect is a sore arm. Now, sometimes people can get sick after a flu shot, but that’s likely from an unrelated cold virus which is also active during the flu season.” Mild side effects usually begin soon after you get the shot and

The aging process makes seniors more vulnerable to the flu season.

last one to two days. A serious reaction – which may include difficulty breathing, weakness, racing heart or hoarseness– are rare. If they do occur, however, they normally begin within minutes to just a few hours after a shot, and medical attention should be sought immediately. Flu vaccines work because they cause antibodies to develop in the body, protecting against the influenza virus. Even so, it is still possible to get the flu during the two weeks before the antibodies have sufficiently developed to provide protection. Seniors, because of other health issues that may have weakened their body’s immune system, are particularly vulnerable to the flu. For that reason, people 65 and older can receive a specially designed “high-dose” flu shot rather than the regular shot recommended for ages 6 months and older or the intradermal shot, recommended for ages 18 to 64. Since it is unknown if this high-dose flu shot leads to greater protection from the flu, the CDC expresses no preference of the regular flu shot or high-dose flu shot. The flu vaccine is also available in a nasal spray for healthy people from 2 to 49 years of age, but is NOT approved for seniors, pregnant women, people with cancer or anyone who lives with or cares

Dr. Jeffery Boruff says flu shots are only one of several vaccinations seniors should get.

for those in a high-risk group. The nasal spray contains a live, but weakened, flu virus that can only cause infection in the cooler temperatures found in the nose. It cannot infect the lungs or other areas of the body where warmer temperatures exist. Of course, seniors should consult their doctor about vaccinations if they have a severe allergy to chicken eggs, a history of severe reaction to flu vaccinations, a moderate-to-severe illness with fever or a history of Guillain-Barre Syndrome. While a flu shot is one of the most important shots a senior can receive, it’s not the only vaccination seniors should get. Other vaccinations may include those to prevent … Pneumococcal Disease – Seniors 65 and older are also urged by the CDC to be vaccinated against pneumococcal disease (pneumonia), the leading cause of vaccine-preventable illness and death in the United States. Pneumococcal disease can show up as pneumonia, a blood infection, brain infection or middle ear infection. “Pneumococcal infections can be hard to treat because some

strains of the bacteria have become resistant to the drugs used to treat them,” says Boruff. “That’s why it’s best to take a preventative approach by getting vaccinated.” Shingles – Shingles is caused by the reactivation of the chickenpox virus in a person’s body. Shingles usually starts as a painful rash on one side of the face or body, forming blisters that typically scab over in seven to 10 days and clears up within two to four weeks. Before the rash develops, there is often pain, itching or tingling in the area where the rash will develop. About one in every three people in the U.S. will develop shingles with the risk rising around age 50. About half of the estimated 1 million cases in the nation each year occur among men and women 60 and older. For that reason, anyone 60 or older should get the vaccine whether they recall having had chickenpox or not. Studies show that more than 99 percent of Americans ages 40 and older have had chickenpox, even if they don’t remember getting the disease. Even if you have had shingles, you can still receive the shingles vaccine to prevent future occurrences.

Chickenpox – Seniors who haven’t had the chickenpox or the chickenpox vaccine would do well to get to get a preventative, two-dose shot regimen. However, seniors with immune system deficiencies, cancer or those on prescription medications that inhibit the immune system should not get the vaccine until they talk to their doctor. Tetanus/Diphtheria/Pertussis – Seniors can be vaccinated against all three of these with a single shot of a vaccine called Tdap. In fact, everyone – regardless of age – should receive a tetanus/diphtheria booster (Td) shot every 10 years. A Tdap vaccine should be given once over the age of 19, then a Td booster every 10 years. This vaccine offers protection against tetanus, commonly called “lockjaw” because it causes painful tightening of the muscles, usually all over the body, and can lead to “locking” of the jaw so the victim can’t open his mouth or swallow. Tetanus leads to death in 1 in 10 cases. It also guards against pertussis or “whooping cough,” a very contagious disease caused by bacteria that is spread from person to person by sneezing, coughing or close contact with others. Since the early 1980s, there has been an overall trend of an increase in reported pertussis cases. Infants are at greatest risk from getting pertussis and then having complications from it, including death. Seniors making sure they have had a Tdap helps prevent them from passing pertussis to their grandchildren. Diphteria is a respiratory disease that causes a thick covering on the back of the throat and can lead to breathing problems, paralysis, heart failure and even death. At its peak, diphtheria struck 175,000 people a year in the United States. Thanks to vaccines, however, that has been reduced by 99.9 percent with only a few thousand cases occurring worldwide. “One only has to remember the flu pandemics of the past – or even the fight against polio before Dr. Jonas Salk – to see the value of a vaccine,” said Boruff. “They work, and for today’s seniors, they can be a lifesaver.” For more information about Parkwest or physician referral, call 374-PARK or visit TreatedWell.com.

What cancer patients, survivors and caregivers should know about the ﬂu Living with cancer increases your risk for complications from inf luenza (“f lu”). If you have cancer now or have had cancer in the past, you are at higher risk for complications from the seasonal f lu or inf luenza, including hospitalization and death. To help prepare you for the f lu this season, the Centers for Disease Control answers some of your most important questions about special considerations for

cancer patients, survivors and caregivers for the f lu. What should adult cancer patients and survivors know about this f lu season? “Flu” refers to illnesses caused by a number of different inf luenza viruses. Flu can cause a range of symptoms and effects, from mild to deadly. Some people, including cancer patients and survivors, are more likely to get f lu complications

that could result in hospitalization and death. I had cancer in the past, but I do not have cancer now. Does this information apply to me? Yes. If you had cancer in the past, you are at higher risk for complications from f lu, even if you are free from cancer now. Are cancer patients and survivors more likely to get the f lu than others?

We do not know if cancer patients and survivors are at greater risk for infection with f lu. However, we do know that cancer patients and survivors are at higher risk for complications from f lu, including hospitalization and death. Should cancer patients and survivors get a f lu shot? Yes. People with cancer or a history of cancer should receive the seasonal f lu shot. People

with cancer should NOT receive the nasal spray vaccine. The f lu shot is made up of inactivated (killed) viruses, and the nasal spray vaccines are made up of live viruses. The f lu shot is safer for those with a weakened immune system. People who live with or care for cancer patients and survivors also should be vaccinated against seasonal f lu.

But technology alone isn’t enough to bring healing and comfort to patients and families. True healthcare begins with something less expensive, non-invasive and pain free. It’s called listening.

Raising awareness for colon cancer Country music artist Wade Hayes is best known for Billboard chart toppers from the ‘90s including “Old Enough to Know Better” and “On a Good Night.” But his recent step back into the spotlight has a more serious tone.

Sara Barrett Hayes was diagnosed with stage four colon cancer last year and is now drawing attention to the

disease through his music. Hayes said last week that he displayed classic symptoms of the disease long before his diagnosis

and never gave it a second thought. He felt tired, had abdominal discomfort and bleeding. “I thought I was just lifting weights too much,” he said. “Getting screened early is the key to this,” said Hayes. “I had had symptoms for years and didn’t know it. That’s one of the reasons I’m working so hard on raising awareness of early screening, because I don’t want anyone to go through what I went through.” After winding up in the emergency room last Thanksgiving, doctors diagnosed him with ad-

vanced cancer and gave him a one in eight chance of surviving. “I thank God every day,” said Hayes. “It’s because of Him that I’m still here. Statistically, I shouldn’t be.” When doctors operated to remove a fist-sized tumor, they discovered the cancer had also spread to his liver. He lost 3/4 of it and part of his diaphragm as well. Hayes says is there is no history of cancer in his family. When diagnosed at age 42, he was also younger than the average age recommended for screening.

Hayes’ song “Is It Already Time?” is a product of his ordeal, and one which he hopes will open people’s eyes to the warning signs and the advantages of early detection. It was written as he was completing chemotherapy. Friends of Hayes’ in the Nashville music community pulled together to help promote his single which has since received regular airplay. Initially, Hayes had planned to record the song as a demo with friends and put it on the Internet. Folks in the industry found out and released it as a record.

“Is It Already Time?” can now be purchased on iTunes, and all proceeds go to the American Cancer Society. With one more surgery scheduled at press time, Hayes is looking forward to putting the illness behind him and making new music. He hopes to be back in the studio by the end of the year. Hayes will perform a benefit fundraiser 6 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 15, at the Tin Roof on Cumberland Avenue. Admission is $10, of which 100 percent goes toward colon cancer research and awareness.

Musical salute to veterans The Amherst Singers, led by director Edie Yeager, presented a musical salute to veterans at the Tennessee Theatre’s “Mighty Musical Monday” presentation Nov. 5.

Dr. Bill Snyder first played a medley of patriotic selections honoring each military branch. The veterans of each branch stood as their song was played and the audience applauded them in appreciation for their service and sacrifice. The Amherst Singers followed with music from around the globe, finally landing in America. The choir is comprised of auditioned fourth and fifth graders from Amherst Ele-

The face behind the counter at Powell Animal Hospital may shock you. In a good way. Bella the poodle belongs to a professional pet stylist and groomer, and it shows. She gets glammed out by owner and hospital employee Sandi Sanders on a regular basis. It is beginning to catch on with clients. Sanders uses semi-permanent nontoxic animal coloring on the fur, which can last through four to six baths depending on how much is applied. Bella has made such a splash that Sanders will take her to children’s birthday parties beginning in January. In addition to “extreme grooming” Sanders is also a pro at regular grooming needs. Other staff members have noticed a type of “petwhisperer” talent with Sandi which seems to soothe even the most nervous pets. Hospital office manager Valerie Ellis says, “she fell out of the clouds, I think.” Ellis said Sanders even had one of the more standoffish pets practically hugging her recently as she was trimming his fur. When using a professional groomer, they may sometimes catch potential problems the typical

Knitters and readers to spread holiday cheer Seuss-a-palooza knit-a-thon

By Shana Raley-Lusk

my Hubbard and her colleagues at East Tennessee PBS were searching for a unique holiday fundraising idea that incorporated the beloved Dr. Seuss character and PBS mainstay “The Cat in the Hat.” When Jennifer Montgomery at Coldwell Banker Wallace and Wallace approached them with the idea of incorporating a knita-thon with their plans for a book drive, it seemed like a natural and engaging fit. Participants of the knit-a-thon will be making “Cat in the Hat” red and white scarves using Knit Kits purchased at Loopville yarn store in Knoxville. While the proceeds of the event benefit the television station, the books received from the book drive and the cozy scarves will be donated to Norwood Elementary School, making this event a great way to get double mileage out of holiday giving this year.

“Knit-a-thon is a way to share the joy that I have found in knitting with the community this holiday season and support public television and library improvement in a local school,” says Montgomery, who started knitting a few years ago and has found that it is a great way to connect with others. “My hope is that these simple scarves, the books, and the programming that come from this event will contribute to a warm and lovely spirit this time of year,” she adds. The best part of the event is that anyone can participate. Registration is $10 which includes the initial Knit Kit. In the kit, participants will find standard needles and enough yarn to knit their first “Cat in the Hat” scarf. Additional yarn can be purchased from Loopville as it is needed. The Seuss-a-palooza fun officially started Nov. 10 in the lounge of the downtown YWCA, where Knit Kits and book bins will be available from 4-6 p.m. For those wishing to donate more books, convenient book bins will be installed at Union Avenue Books in downtown Knoxville on Nov. 12, making it simple to take part in this special benefit. For those in search of a fun and unique way to give back to the community this season, Seuss-a-palooza is the perfect fit.

Like every year, she’s looking forward to the day the cast of 140 comes together to practice. “To me, it’s like a Christmas family.

The very best way to start Christmas

NEWS FROM CLOSET SOLUTIONS

Get a ‘handle’ on the holidays By Shana Raley-Lusk

or a dramatic yet simple way to update your home before the rush of the holiday season, visit the Hardware Gallery at Closet Solutions, Knoxville’s most trusted name in custom storage solutions. Prepare to be inspired by the extensive selection of knobs and handles offered. The kitchen is often thought of as the heart of the home. For many families, this is the room everyone seems to flock to during holiday parties and special celebrations. Therefore, the kitchen is a great place to start when making updates with seasonal get-togethers in mind. Closet Solutions offers the latest hardware finishes to complement your cabinetry and overall kitchen style. Dull,

dated hardware can be replaced with gleaming cup pulls or knobs, providing an instant update for the most important room in the house. Selecting something new for the kitchen island is another way to refresh this space without making a huge investment. Many of today’s homes feature an open floor plan, seamlessly merging the great room with the kitchen and other living spaces. Closet Solutions can help you create a cohesive look by updating your cabinet hardware in these areas as well. Making this seemingly small change can instantly revive the built-in units that are often included in today’s great rooms and home offices. Another place where small hardware changes can create dramatic impact is the powder room vanity.

Pam Neuhart of Closet Solutions chooses cabinet pulls for a client.

Closet Solutions offers unique hardware options to enhance the beauty of your home this holiday season.

The furniture in your home can be dressed up and revived with a hardware modification. A quick project to update your home is to switch out the hardware on bi-fold closet doors. Replacing the old closet handles with an elegant crystal or cast bronze wardrobe knob can have a huge impact on the feel of the room. “We are seeing a lot of glass and crystal hardware. Another trend is warm metal tones. Brushed or antiqued brass finishes are appearing in many of our lines,” says owner Pam Neuhart. “It is a fresh yet traditional look,” she adds. Whatever your style or bud-

get, Closet Solutions can help you add some sparkle and shine to your home this holiday season. Whether you are looking for superior custom home storage or the latest in decorative cabinetry and hardware, let the design professionals at Closet Solutions help you handle the holidays with style this year.

While the coordination of an enormous cast, a 100-member choir and an elaborate set for three performances in the middle of the holiday season seems daunting, Lynn says pageant veterans, like Lisa, make it easier. “They just do it. The older ones help the newer ones.” That doesn’t mean everything always goes smoothly. When the set was pulled out of storage for last year’s show, the crew realized it had been sitting in water, the result of 2011 storm damage. The sets were already old, so it was nearly a catastrophe. “It was a mess. But we made it happen,” Lynn says. This year, the sets are being renovated. Lynn is keeping her fingers crossed that they’ll be ready for the performances, which are the first weekend in December, a week earlier than usual. Otherwise,

she’s confident that everything will fall into place. The Nativity Pageant of Knoxville has the same basic ingredients every year. The story of the birth of Jesus is told by narrators while the action takes place on the coliseum floor. The choir, invisible behind the backdrop until illuminated, sings traditional Christmas songs. There are very few changes to the script year after year, and the only actors that are unpredictable are the four-legged kind. A donkey and several sheep play pivotal roles, but they occasionally escape or refuse to cooperate, Lynn says. “We just pray really hard. You never really know what’s going to happen.” She emphasizes that the pageant is a city, rather than a church, event. Participants come from churches all over Knox County.

Performances are free and require no ticket. The Sunday performance typically plays to a packed house, but Lynn doesn’t remember ever turning anyone away. An informal survey given to audience members one year indicated that a significant percentage had never heard the Christmas story before. “For us who know the story, it gives us chills. I can’t imagine what it’s like for people who haven’t heard it.” The pageant requires a year-round effort from the board, but Lynn thinks it’s worth it for those who have never heard the story, as well as those who have heard it all their lives. “It’s the very best way to start Christmas. That’s what I love about it.” Performances are at 3 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 2, and at 7 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 3, and Tuesday, Dec. 4.

Holiday style made easy Successful seasonal décor

By Shana Raley-Lusk For many, one of the greatest joys of the holiday season is the opportunity to adorn the home with all of the ornaments and embellishments that the season entails. From trimming the tree to ensuring that the warmth of the holidays is felt throughout your home, preparing your abode for the season may even feel a bit overwhelming. Creating the per-

fect backdrop for those precious holiday memories is no easy undertaking. But, with a little bit of know-how and organization, transforming your home into a festive holiday wonderland can be an effortless activity filled with its own special memories and traditions. According to Knoxville interior designer Carol Raley, the most important areas to consider when working on holiday decorating are those in which you, your family and guests spend the most time. For instance, pay special attention to the family room and kitchen. The front door and entryway are also essential areas for creating that initial holiday welcome into your home. Your front-door wreath is a good place to start by setting the tone for the Christmas décor that awaits

guests inside your home. The exterior erior of the home is equally important. “Take into consideration windows ndows that face the street forr treating passersby to your holiday spirit,” s a y s Carol. Keeping things tasteful and simple are keys to successcessful seasonal décor al d é or éc for the outside utside of t h e home. “Lights, a pretty wreath and

greenery at the window sills are nice touches,” she adds. adds important Another aspect of bringing into the holidays holi is inthe home h corporating special keepsp sakes and sa heirlooms. h “I have a very large collection of glass ornaments, vintage ornaments o inherited from family, fro and ornaments from m all the milestones growst tones in my children’s child ldr ing-up years,” Carol notes.

Holiday

Including items such as these on a traditional tree along with berries, ribbons, and garlands is a beautiful approach to trimming the family Christmas tree. It is also very important to choose a tree that fits the room properly, being sure to leave adequate room for furniture and, of course, the gifts. Making the choice between faux and real greenery can be a difficult one as well. When considering the options, it is a good idea to consider how long you wish to enjoy the greeneries, particularly the tree itself. If the decision is made to go with the faux variety, be sure to shape the branches and tips with your hands after unpacking. This freshens up the items and gives them a more realistic and appealing look. Beautifying your home with all of the glitter and gilding that this time of year has to offer can be one of the greatest joys of the season. With these helpful designer tips, this year’s holiday decorating can be at the center of your celebration, creating the ideal environment for unforgettable Christmas memories.

Protect what matters this holiday season The winter holiday season is here, which means we can look forward to a lot of decorating, parties and possibly some travel during the next few months. But with all the hustle and bustle of shopping and celebrating, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important not to lose sight of what matters most: the safety of your family and home. From now until New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be expecting guests more frequently and your house will be filled with beautiful, but highly flammable, decorations. These range from the candles on your dining room table to the tree in your living room to the paper decorations on your walls. All of these items can contribute to potentially unsafe conditions in your home. To keep your family and house safe and still enjoy all the festivities, keep in mind these simple precautions: 1. Always make sure burning candles are never left unat-

tended (blow them out if you leave the room) and are placed at least 12 inches away from flammable objects. Candleholders should be sturdy and placed on a stable, uncluttered surface. 2. Make sure to check your smoke alarms monthly. They should be installed in every bedroom, outside each separate sleeping area, and on every level of your house. Replace the batteries in all of your smoke alarms at least once a year. 3. The holidays also mean travel for some families, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to make sure your house is safe while youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re away. Consider a home security and automation system that offers comprehensive protection inside and out, such as ADT Pulse. This innovative, customizable system allows you to control your lights, lock your doors, adjust your thermostats and watch your pets from wherever you happen to be via a computer or smartphone.

4. Make sure your decorations are safe. Only use items that are flame resistant or flame retardant, and avoid placing them near doorways or windows. 5. Have your chimney cleaned and inspected every year by a qualified professional. Make sure to use a fireplace screen to contain any sparks or hot embers. Once you put the fire out, let ashes cool, and then transfer them to a metal container with a lid. This should be kept at a safe distance from your house. With the help of some common-sense safety precautions and a good security system, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to enjoy all the fun and festivities of the holiday season, whether youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hosting or traveling.

Simple, time-saving secrets to add a unique twist to your holiday recipes When entertaining during the holiday season, time is of the essence. Between cleaning, shopping, decorating and mingling with friends and family, there’s hardly enough time to cook let alone prepare an elaborate sevencourse meal. However, the lack of time doesn’t mean your food or your guests have to suffer. By combining classic dishes with unique ingredients, you can enhance the flavor of your recipes without having to spend the entire evening in the kitchen. Instead of preparing an overthe-top feast, try opting for simple and satisfying fare with a subtle modern twist to wow your guests. Often, it’s just that extra ingredient that can really tie together your favorite appetizers, entrees and desserts. Jessica Segarra, of The Novice Chef food blog, offers three simple tips to create standout holiday dishes. ■ While it’s easy to get caught up in the moment, don’t let the holidays sidetrack your guests from eating healthy. Instead, make wholesome, lighter options the life of the party by adding unexpected ingredients to otherwise bland dishes. Serve protein-packed, homemade sweet potato hummus with veggies and low-fat pretzel crackers, the perfect combination of sweet and savory flavors for fall and winter entertaining. Not only will the hummus keep your guests satisfied, it can be made in advance and stored in the refrigerator until ready to serve. ■ Sweet-and-savory never fails. Look for recipes that combine both elements to add a well-balanced boost of flavor. This holds true for both desserts and entrees. “Pretzels are my go-to ingredient for adding crunch and just the right amount of salty goodness to my sweeter dishes,” says Segarra. “I’ve found Pretzel Crisps (R) offer the most versatility when it comes to flavor and use. They can be easily paired with my favorite holiday desserts, including beautifully layered trifles.”

■ Select dishes that can be prepared ahead of time. Entertaining is no fun if you’re confined to the kitchen while your meal cooks. Choosing a baked entree like pork medallions or chicken breasts that can be prepped before your guests arrive can help free you up to socialize.

Holiday gatherings are supposed to be fun for everyone, including the hosts. By adopting some simple time-saving secrets to make your food shine, both you and your food can be the life of the party. So, rethink the holidays and celebrate with these seasonally inspired recipes at your next gathering. – BPT

Everything Pretzel Crisps Crusted Pork Medallions with Sweet Maple Gravy Makes 4 servings Ingredients: 1 pound pork loin, sliced into 1 1/2-inch rounds 1/4 cup all-purpose flour 2 large eggs, whisked 3 cups Everything Pretzel Crisps, crushed 4 tablespoons unsalted butter For the gravy: 4 tablespoons unsalted butter 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 3 tablespoons maple syrup 1 cup whole milk Directions: Preheat oven to 425 F. Line a baking dish with foil and spray with non-stick spray. Set aside. Place flour in a shallow bowl. Place eggs in a separate shallow bowl. Spread crushed Pretzel Crisps on a rimmed plate. Working with one pork medallion at a time, coat pork in flour, dip into eggs and then press into pretzels. Repeat process until all pork medallions

Transfer browned pork medallions to prepared baking dish. Repeat process until all pork medallions have been browned. Place pork medallions in the oven and bake until cooked through, or until internal temperature reaches 140 F, about 8 minutes. Let chops rest for 5 minutes after baking. While pork is in the oven, melt butter over mediumhigh heat in the skillet used to cook the pork. Whisk in flour, scraping the edges to include any of the browned pork bits in the pan. Stir continually with a wire whisk until the flour has thickened and started to brown, about 3 minutes. Pour in maple syrup and 1/2 cup of milk, continually whisking. After about 30 seconds, gravy should start to thicken again. Add remaining 1/2 cup of milk and whisk until combined. Remove gravy from heat and serve drizzled on top of pork medallions.
