Gala raises $12k

By Jake Mabe They did it again!

The Halls Women’s League sure knows how to throw a party.

The 2011 Autumn Gala and Fantasy Casino boasted the largest crowd (more than 200) yet and raised more than $12,000 profit for the Women’s League, says League member Annette Smallwood. The money will be used to fund various community projects. This year’s gala co-chairs were Shelba Murphy, Janet Kendrick and Chris Story.

A silent auction was held before dinner and local auctioneer Bear Stephenson held an entertaining live auction with a little help from Halls guy Gary Koontz and longtime buddy Morton Massey. A casino auction was held at the end of the evening.

Live auction items included a trio of black glass glazed pots and plantings donated by Robert Smith and Willow Ridge Garden Center; a hayride and hot dog roast for 25 guests at the Fruit and Berry Patch donated by Ellen Fox; a two-night stay at the Top of the Smokies donated by Vern and Lisa Hippensteal and Alma Williams; a Gulf Shores, Ala., beach vacation donated by Phil and Reba Nichols; a Robert Tino framed print donated

by Robert Tino of Robert Tino Gallery; a UT women’s basketball prize package donated by Calhoun’s, Ron and Delores Kopp, Annette Smallwood and John Story; a rustic river retreat on the Little Pigeon River donated by Kelly Barnes and R.T. Barnes and Associates; and a Food City 500 Bristol Race and NASCAR

Speed Park package donated by Emerson Breeden, Food City and NASCAR Speed Park. (John Jones threw in free passes to the Food City hospitality room at the Food City 500 race, too.)

“We’d like to thank all the local businesses for their support and participation,” Smallwood said.

“Their support helped make the gala happen.”

Note: The Women’s League’s “Crossroads Cooking” cookbook has sold out, but Shirley Merryman says another printing is in progress and should be delivered in late November. “Thanks to all for such wonderful support,” Shirley says.

Crye wants openness, transparency at HPUD

Burchett sets Halls meeting County Mayor Tim Burchett will hold one-on-one constituent meetings during November including 6 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 22, Halls Branch Library, 4518 E. Emory Road; and 2:30 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 29, John T. O’Connor Center, 611 Winona Street.

By Greg Householder On a rainy Friday morning last week, Robert G. “Bob” Crye of Halls raised his right hand and was sworn in as a new Hallsdale Powell Utility District board member by County Mayor Tim Burchett.

Crye replaces Sandra Liford, who resigned in September, and joins board chair Jim Hill and board member Kevin Julian.

“I hope a little common sense,” Crye said when asked what he would bring to the board. “I’m a ratepayer and I would like to see our rates come down and that there is openness and transparency in everything we do. I hope we spend the money wisely.”

Crye lives in Halls with his wife, Janis. He has two daughters, Kristen Stevenson of Knoxville and Laura Cloud of Murfreesboro.

Crye began his working career in 1965 with TVA after receiving his bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering from UT. He worked at TVA until 1981 when he became self-employed for about a year. In 1983 he became vice president, secretary and chief operating officer for Hillman Construction Corporation.

In 1984 he began a three-year stint with Rentenbach Engineering Company where he served as

The Knox County school board will meet twice this week and the closure of Corryton Elementary School, along with four other small schools, could be on the agenda.

Superintendent Dr. Jim McIntyre presided over a contentious 2 1/2 hour meeting last Thursday in which he listed five options for closing an anticipated $7 million budget shortfall.

The regular board meeting is 5 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 2, in the main assembly room of the City County Building; the workshop is 5 p.m.

Tuesday, Nov. 1, in the board room of the Andrew Johnson Building.

Both meetings are broadcast live on Comcast Cable Channel 10, AT&T U-verse Channel 99 and streamed live at www.knoxschools.org/.

At Thursday’s meeting, one Corryton parent said, “I beg you, don’t close our sweet school.”

Trace Miller, 5th grader and president of the student body, also asked that his school be spared. Comparing Corryton Elementary to David and Goliath, he wrote: David was tiny but mighty. “Just because we’re small doesn’t mean we can’t have better TCAP scores than a big school or win the statewide spelling bee.”

School board member Mike McMillian and County Commissioner Dave Wright, fresh off a huge win for a new Carter Elementary School, attended Thursday’s meeting. Presumably both will fight to keep Corryton open.

Also on the hit list are Vine Middle School and Gap Creek, South Knoxville and Maynard elementary schools. McIntyre also is considering outsourcing about 350 custodial jobs and changing school start times to maximize transportation expenses.

McIntyre said his recommendations could come on Friday, but none had been released at our press time.

HPUD hearing on loan Hallsdale Powell Utility District has set a public hearing at 6:30 p.m.

Thursday, Nov. 10, at the district office, 3745 Cunningham Road, to discuss a $4.8 million loan to finance upgrades to the Beaver Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant and expand the Raccoon Valley Wastewater Treatment Plant. Info: Darren Cardwell at 922-7547.

McMillan recalls ‘rough and tumble’ football Halls grad to be inducted in TN Tech Hall of Fame Red McMillan says football back in “those days,” meaning the late 1950s and early 1960s, was rough and tumble, knock ’em down, run ’em over.

“The whole object of the game was to hurt ’em.”

Kick off the holidays with ‘The Nutcracker’

James “Red” McMillan, a 1958 Halls High grad and football star at Tennessee Tech, will be inducted into the Tennessee Tech Sports Hall of Fame on Friday, Nov. 4. Photo by Jake Mabe Red jokes that he and the disciplinarian Wiles often butted heads. One time, Wiles told the boys he was going to run them and work them until they hated his guts. Red raised his hand.

“What are you going to do if I already hate your guts?”

They laughed about it when Red went to visit Wiles in North Carolina in 1993.

The 1957 Halls team is the one Red remembers best. It went 6-2-1 and was Class-A League champions.

He’ll never forget a 2-0 victory over Powell. Red jerked the Panther center out of the way at the goal line and caused the quarterback to scramble backward into a safety. After Red’s junior year he was named All-County and his senior year he was named All-County, All-East Tennessee and got an award from the Quarterback Club as the KIL’s top lineman.

Red says during a game

against Oneida a scout who’d come to see the opposing team’s star quarterback was impressed by the Halls kid who tackled the star QB 33 of 36 times.

Bill Dupes came into the dressing room after the game and said, “Son, would you be interested in playing football for Tennessee Tech?”

He never forgot Red’s response.

“Well, a man outta get himself a college education.”

Red went to Tech on a tryout and played second string or better that first year and first string thereafter. He became an All-OVC (Ohio Valley Conference) lineman. All four teams on which he played were conference champs or co-champs, losing only one conference game, to East Tennessee State.

Highlights were playing in the Tangerine Bowl against The Citadel, playing Florida State in a preseason game (a future actor named Burt Reynolds was injured on the sideline), the annual Thanksgiving Turkey Bowl against MTSU and beating Chattanooga the same year the Mocs later upset the Vols at Shields-Watkins Field.

Red joined the Army through college ROTC. He was commissioned a second lieutenant and later was promoted to first lieutenant. He spent his two-year hitch at Fort Benning, Ga., learning how to jump out of helicopters and teaching guerilla warfare classes for Col. (later Lt. Gen.) Hal Moore, who would in 2002 be portrayed by Mel Gibson in the Vietnam War movie

Red McMillan will be inducted into the Tennessee Tech Sports Hall of Fame 6:30 p.m.

(Central) Friday, Nov. 4, in the Multipurpose Room of the Roaden University Center at Tennessee Tech in Cookeville. Tickets are $25. Reservations: 931372-3940.

“We Were Soldiers.”

After leaving the Army, Red came home, worked for Rohm and Haas and an insurance company awhile, but really loved racing and working on cars. After a race car shop venture in Columbus, Ga., didn’t pan out, Red went to work for Thundercraft Boats from 1975 to 1988. In 1990, he got a call from a buddy in Sweetwater who wanted him to check out his boat business in Sweetwater.

“I ain’t driving down there to work!” Red said.

He’s been at Bryant Boats for 21 years and is the chief mechanic and supervisor on all the stringer systems.

Friday night (Nov. 4), Red is being inducted into the Tennessee Tech Sports Hall of Fame along with teammate Ralph Broyles and three others. His daughter, Theresa Wesson, son-inlaw, Troy, and granddaughter, Caitlin, will be joining him from Madison, Ala., as will several friends.

Of his playing days, Red says, “We were not stars, we were teammates.”

He hopes some young person hears his story and says, “Maybe I can go on to college and play football, too.”

Crematorium generates more heat

By Betty Bean Fountain City Town Hall board member Penny Berridge says she has chosen cremation when the time comes, but not at Gentry-Griffey Funeral Home.

“I don’t want any of my fumes in the air over Fountain City, thank you very much.”

Berridge was one of some two dozen irate Fountain Citians who met at the Fountain City Art Center last week to discuss Gentry-Griffey’s plan to build Knox County’s only operating crematorium at the funeral home overlooking Fountain City Lake.

Concerns aired at the meeting included frustration that the crematorium had been whisked through the city’s permitting process with no public notice.

Former Town Hall president Jamie Rowe researched state law and found that the Gentry-Griffey facility is not in compliance with a law requiring 30 days public notice when a construction permit is approved.

“I’ve been on the phone with the EPA,” Rowe said.

“This kind of construction permit is under the air pollution control department of the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation and they require it to be published 30 days before they come into a community.”

Registration: www. knoxlib.org/griefworkshop.

Nan Scott speaks at the Fountain City Art Center. Bob Davis and Charlotte Davis are seated to her left. Photo by Betty Bean Several of those present said they would present their ideas to the others via e-mail because Gentry-Griffey’s contract public relations specialist, Jennifer Holder, was there taking notes.

But Catherine Freels wasn’t timid when she introduced the term “environmental justice” to the conversation: “That’s placing things that would not be allowed in certain parts of town – this incinerator could not be placed in Farragut, Concord, Sequoyah Hills, Bearden, etc,” she said. “Why have they chosen Fountain City?”

Others brought up environmental concerns that were exacerbated a few weeks

ago when Gentry-Griffey manager Eric Botts came to Fountain City Town Hall and said that no scrubbers, wet or dry, are planned for the crematorium.

“They’re going to be pushing fly ash out of the nonscrubbered stack onto the day care center,” Berridge said. “That’s why most of these places are in industrial parks.”

Gentry-Griffey is housed in a historic home on the highest hill in the heart of Fountain City and was a locally owned business with deep roots in the Fountain City area. That changed in 2008 when it was sold to Evergreen, a group of investors primarily composed of Jim

Clayton, Tim Williams and Richard Ray. “Gentry-Griffey wouldn’t have done anything bad to Fountain City,” Janet Osborn said. “The Gentry-Griffey that we knew and loved as a member of our community is gone. It’s over. Evergreen is not local at all.”

Gentry-Griffey’s building permit was approved Aug. 23 by a city building official who ruled that a crematorium is an “accessory use” to a mortuary, based on prior decisions. Many of those present questioned this logic, since there are no other crematoriums in Knox County.

Catherine Freels questioned the whole process and does not believe that a building inspector should be able to make such a decision.

“We want to make sure everybody affected by this in Fountain City knows about it, and that everybody in Knoxville knows about it because who knows where else they’ll want to put them. Obviously Gentry-Griffey has not found it necessary to include the residents of this big stable neighborhood (in the decision).”

The Fountain City Town Hall board has invited Eric Botts to attend its Thursday, Nov. 17, meeting, which will be at 7 p.m. at the Church of the Good Shepherd on Jacksboro Pike.

Things that go ‘Huh?’ in the night Welcome to a special Halloween edition of Mr. Answer Man’s answers to the questions that keep you up at night.

Young children and people with heart conditions should avoid today’s session.

Q: Mr. Answer Man, I hear the school system is spending $750,000 to supply students with something called “isotonic water.” What is that?

Could this be a Marxist plot to corrupt our children’s precious bodily fluids? Sign me, “Scared.”

A: Dear Scared: You have every right to be frightened.

Fittingly, “isotonic” is an English transliteration of Egyptian hieroglyphics discovered on the tomb of King Tut: iso, “costs a lot;” and tonic, “water with stuff added to it.”

It’s fitting because water was a scarce commodity in the Egyptian desert, and isotonic water was reserved for the Pharoahs.

Commissioner Tony Norman, who pursues Egyptology as a sideline, noted last week that, “Kids want a whole lot of things.” Norman added: “Just because they demand it doesn’t mean we have to supply it.”

School officials countered that they want to provide “attractive items students are interested in.” Besides, the markup is 250 percent, better than double the profit realized by Egyptian traders during Tut’s reign.

But what will students “demand” next? Free bus rides?

No school on Christmas Day? Who knows where this will end.

Q: Mr. Answer Man, maybe it’s just because Halloween is approaching, but I’m having a recurring nightmare about the county going back into business with a vendor some say owes taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars. Am I losing my mind?

A: You seem perfectly normal to me – it’s the county’s sanity that’s in question. Recently, Commissioner “Our” Larry Smith summed up his fears about the county’s contract with Nature’s Best Organics LLC, also known as “the same guys who operated Natural Resources Recovery and got sued by Brad Mayes.” Smith said, “Guys, if we vote for this we have our heads in the sand. They screwed us once (and) they’ll try to do it again.”

With a nod to the supernatural, Norman described the situation as “a lawyer’s heaven (but) … our purgatory,” and said there was no recourse other than letting the courts sort it out.

“They’re tainted, and we shouldn’t be doing business with them,” Norman added, before voting for the contract.

Mr. Answer Man’s assessment: “The horror … the horror.” (Thank you, Marlon Brando.)

Q: Last week Commissioner Sam McKenzie said he had a hard time justifying a 1.5 percent pay increase over a period of four years for county employees. What’s your take?

A: Mr. Answer Man’s sources tell us that County Mayor Tim Burchett and his staff, ever mindful of the Halloween season, arrived at the percentage by bobbing for apples. Chief of staff Dean Rice grabbed 1 1/2 Granny Smiths, and the rest is history. There is no truth to the scurrilous rumor that Commissioner Amy Broyles tried to slip a poisoned apple into the tub, which, by the way, was fi lled with isotonic water.

Anyway, if McKenzie worked for a print newspaper he wouldn’t have made such a silly observation.

City election generates yawn A week from tomorrow night and it is over, this mayoral contest which started last summer (2010, not 2011) when Marilyn Roddy hosted fundraisers only to switch races once Jamie Woodson resigned as state senator.

Last week I was asked during a talk at the Farragut Rotary Club if Roddy had stayed in the race would it be a different set of candidates in the current run off. This is a “what if” question to which the answer is only a speculation.

However, I think it is certainly possible that would have been the case. There is no doubt Madeline Rogero was going to have a spot in the runoff or win it outright (only 16 votes short as it was).

She has always been the person to beat and still is.

Mark Padgett was only a few votes ahead of Ivan Harmon. Roddy would have taken some Republican votes from Harmon and perhaps gotten some Padgett votes as well. Padgett and Harmon were neck and neck. Certain-

Victor Ashe

ly it is plausible that Roddy could have been in the same close mix. She had ample funding which she returned once she switched races. She had been running for more than a year.

Padgett and Harmon got 23 percent each so all Roddy had to do was win 24 percent and she would have been in the runoff. Now whether she would have defeated Rogero is another matter and my guess is not. However, I think that runoff would have been less negative than the current contest.

The more interesting question is what would have happened had interim Mayor Daniel Brown decided to run for mayor. I am convinced he would have won a place in the runoff and probably faced

Rogero although his candidacy would have taken votes off Rogero in the African-American community. It also would have taken votes all across the city from people who have been impressed with the calm and deliberate manner in which he has led the city.

A runoff between Rogero and Brown could have been close.

If early voting averages 700 to 800 voters a day, about 9,000 people will vote early, which means the total city vote may reach 18,000, a few thousand more than the Sept. 27 primary. This is half the 33,000 who voted in 1987 when Randy Tyree and I faced off in a similar runoff.

It is a shame so few people are voting and it argues strongly for changing the city elections to coincide with the state elections where turnout is much higher.

This election is generating a yawn from 80 percent of the registered voters.

■ The nasty, unsigned letter attacking Rogero may

backfire. People do not appreciate such tactics and are more informed than the author of the mailer may think.

It certainly will fire up the Rogero base.

■ Mayor Brown has indicated he will make office space available to the mayorelect to run his/her transition office between Nov. 8 and Dec. 17 when the new mayor takes office. The winner will be invited to a seminar at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard to be held Nov. 30 to Dec. 2 for newly elected mayors of cities over 90,000. It is sponsored by the U.S. Conference of Mayors and the JFK Institute of Politics and is a valuable source of information.

■ Vice Mayor Joe Bailey and his family have moved recently from his home on Hillvale Turn West (previously occupied by former County Commissioner Bee DeSelm) two blocks away to the corner of Kingston Pike and Oakhurst. His term on City Council ends Dec. 17.

Blowback: Republicans for Rogero Tennessee Conservative Union chair Lloyd Daugherty lives in Karns and doesn’t usually mess in city politics, but the anonymous letter trashing mayoral candidate Madeline Rogero and several prominent Republican supporters sucked him

Betty Bean into the maelstrom when he reported that eight of 15 TCU members who received the letter have decided to vote for Rogero.

When TV reporters called, he said that he disagrees with Rogero on many philosophical issues, but has always liked her personally.

That pulled him even deeper into the battle between Rogero and Mark Padgett, who, like Rogero, is a Democrat, but who enjoys the support of several well-known Republicans, most notably losing mayoral candidate Ivan Harmon and Sheriff Jimmy “J.J.” Jones.

Later, Daugherty was in the doctor’s office and was approached by one of the nurses.

“She said ‘Because you’ve endorsed Madeline, my friend and I have decided to vote for her. …’ I told her that I hadn’t really endorsed anybody, but I said Madeline’s honest and she’s smart and that’s who I’d be for if I were in the city.

The lady said, ‘That’s good

enough for me.’ ” Daughterty said his friends are furious over the attack on Rogero supporter Eddie Mannis, who is responsible for the HonorAir flights that take World War II veterans to Washington, D.C., to see the monument to their service.

“That went over like a tofu turkey at a Baptist homecoming. One fellow told me that Mr. Mannis helped his older brother go to Washington before he died. He said that letter made him sick. So if you talk to Madeline, tell her she didn’t know it and I didn’t know it but I’ve endorsed her.”

County Mayor Tim Burchett says he doesn’t get involved in city politics when asked if he has a favorite in the Rogero-Padgett race.

“But I’ll say this: We disagree about a lot of things, but she’s never lied to me.

That’s more than I can say about a lot of people I know.

And that letter? It’s just the death rattle of the old courthouse crowd.”

Republican Executive Committee member Lynn Redmon is an unapologetic Rogero supporter: “I care about neighborhoods. That’s why I’m for Rogero.”

Attorney Richard Beeler, who served as county law director when Rogero was a county commissioner, has GOP credentials that go back to Ronald Reagan’s 1980 campaign in the New Hampshire primary.

“This is a nonpartisan race, and I am a conservative Republican who thinks Madeline is the only candidate who is actually prepared to be a really great mayor.

“I’ve actually worked with her, and the first thing I look for in a candidate is

a mind. She’s brilliant, and she’s solid on policy discussions. She’s prepared.”

He said that the letter made him so mad he did something he rarely does in a city race: “I wrote her one of the biggest checks I’ve ever written a political candidate.”

Discerning the Arab Spring

Pay to play, says Pension Board Board wants $13K from Lobetti

By Betty Bean County pension board member Ed Shouse was taken by surprisewhen politico Robert M. “Mose” Lobetti showed Lobetti up on the board’s September agenda to talk about his status under the Uniformed Officers Pension Plan. Lobetti has been asked to repay some $13,000 that was distributed to him before he switched from the county’s Asset Accumulation Plan to the UOPP in 2007.

The UOPP is a defined benefits plan that was passed by referendum in 2007 and was sold to the public as a way to provide a decent retirement for law enforcement officers who risk their lives to ensure public safety. Lobetti, 82, is best known for his high profile involvement in local political campaigns – most recently that of mayoral candidate Mark Padgett – and his connections to the family of John J. Duncan Sr., Jr. and III. “When item No. 6 concerning Mose Lobetti came up, I said that I had known Mose for a long time and realized that he had been employed at the courthouse for many years, but I had always thought that he worked for the attorney general in the grand jury area and therefore was actually employed by the state. I then asked how could he be a participant of the UOPP. The response was that he was a ‘Court Officer’ and was on the payroll of the sheriff.

I asked if this was similar to a bailiff’s position and the answer was yes. As you know, bailiffs qualify for the UOPP,” Shouse said.

Lobetti’s attorney, Steve Sharp, did not return a telephone call when contacted for comment on this story, but pension board minutes for the September meeting reflect that Sharp asked for a postponement and requested that the board provide Lobetti with calculations “based on where he would stand if he had not transferred to the Uniformed Officers’ Pension Plan.”

Pension Board executive director Kim Bennett told the board that Lobetti received payments (due to his age) from the Asset Accumulation Plan in 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006 in the amount of $11,171.81.

She said that Lobetti should have been given the option of repaying that money with interest or taking a reduced benefit at that time. Instead, she said, “He fell through the cracks.”

“Either he needs to pay it back or his benefit will be reduced,” Bennett said.

She explained that anyone receiving the UOPP must have 25 years service and be at least 50 years old to draw the pension.

Pension board attorney Richard Beeler confirmed Bennett’s take on the Lobetti matter: “If he buys back that lost time, he will receive an increased benefit when he officially retires under the UOPP.” The matter was postponed again in October and has been rescheduled for the November meeting.

It’s hard to write history when you’re in the middle of it. That’s why we have newspapers.

Sandra Clark

So, I drifted by the Democratic Club that meets on Bearden Hill last week to hear retired UT professor Bob Cunningham talk about the Arab Spring.

You know the Arab Spring. We just finished it, although one could argue it’s the Arab Era and we’re not done yet.

Cunningham discussed the populist uprisings in the Middle East in terms of the economy and what he called “old men and their families.”

Every country was impacted by the bad economy, even the oil producers, he said. Production was cut and workers were laid off. Even college educated young people could not find work.

“There is a feeling that the system doesn’t work and an enthusiasm, especially by young people, to change it,” he said.

Cunningham traced family or military control back to the 1960s for most Middle Eastern countries and back to the 1920s for Jordan. There is pentup pressure for regime change.

“Religious and ethnic minorities often do better with authoritarian rule. They get by because they are no threat.”

Cunningham, who lived and taught in Syria for three years, said minorities

have reason for concern as dictators are overthrown, especially those minorities such as the Sunnis in Iraq that have ruled over the majority Shiites.

Then he asked: Is Islam a threat to the United States’ way of life? He called Turkey a “real hero in the Middle East” as an example of a secular Islamic country.

That’s the key it seems.

Don’t mix government and religion. Good advice for us all.

The Q-and-A was all over the map, reflecting both the audience’s engagement in the topic and the individuals’ need to have Cunningham hear their point of view.

“Technology is an irresistible force,” said one.

With computers and cellphones, dissidents can organize.

What happens in Iraq when we leave?

“They can’t blame the Americans any more,” said Cunningham.

“The younger generation wants to participate, and that leads to optimism. …

The military wants stability and often will trade growth for stability.

“It’s all mixed up with pieces that don’t fit. It’s impossible to predict (the outcome).”

Timeline Since January, revolutions have occurred in Tunisia and Egypt; a civil war in Libya; civil uprisings in Bahrain, Syria and Yemen; major protests in Algeria, Iraq, Jordan, Morocco and Oman; and minor protests in Kuwait, Lebanon, Mauritania, Saudi Arabia, Sudan and Western Sahara.

Three heads of state were overthrown: Tunisian President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali fled to Saudi Arabia on Jan. 14.

In Egypt, President Hosni Mubarak resigned on Feb. 11, ending his 30year presidency. Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi was overthrown on Aug. 23, killed on Oct. 20 and buried in a “secret location.”

Norman to be inducted to Central High Wall of Fame Educator founded UT’s religious studies department

By Courtney Shea Ralph V. Norman Jr., Ph.D., a Central High School graduate of the Class of 1951, is being inducted into the school’s Wall of Fame at the annual breakfast ceremony 9 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 12, at the school. Dr. Norman is being recognized for his career of scholarly accomplishments, especially as the founding head of the Department of Religious Studies at UT. As an educator and scholar, his activities and writings brought together themes and ideas from diverse disciplines.

Ralph V. Norman Jr. was 9 when his family moved to Fountain City. In 1942, Ralph V. Norman Sr., a sales manager for the tobacco firm of Brown and Williamson, received a promotion and moved his family – wife Anna Lee, daughter Sara Jane and son Ralph Jr. – from Johnson City to Fulton Road. Ralph liked the area, remembering Fountain City as somewhat different from the rest of the community. It was a harder for his sister, six years older, to make the transition from Johnson City at a time when many of the young men of her age were leaving school for the military. Ralph recalls Fountain City as an interesting crossroads, having a diverse professional class with new families brought in by Oak Ridge and TVA as well as international visitors observing the results of the TVA social experiment. He attended first Fountain City Elementary then traveled one block over to Central High.

Ralph enjoyed both academics and activities at Central. He played in the band and was an enthusiastic member of the debate club. His junior year, the debate team reached the state finals, placing second.

Dr. Norman’s interests in humanities and the arts extend beyond academics. He chaired the Tennessee Committee for the Humanities and served on the board of the Knoxville Opera Guild. He has combined his love of croquet with community service through croquet tournaments benefitting the Opera Guild and the High Country Women’s Fund in Avery County, N.C. He has been involved in arts councils for the city of Knoxville and the state of Tennessee.

Connie and Ralph raised two children, son Stephen and daughter Emily. Knoxville is home to Emily and her husband, David Cox, and children, Jonathan and Caroline. Son Stephen passed away in 2000.

Connie passed away in 2007.

Now retired, Ralph Norman divides his time between Knoxville, Blowing Rock, N.C., and Key Largo, Fla. He met his new wife, Linda, in Blowing Rock and has enjoyed introducing her to competition croquet. A native of Albany, N.Y., Linda Lillo Norman has also enjoyed being introduced to Knoxville’s version of Southern culture.

Breakfast is Nov. 12 The 10th annual Central High School Wall of Fame breakfast is 9 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 12, at the Central High commons. Other inductees include Charlotte Davis, Eddie Mannis and the Rev. Billy Wallace. Tickets are available at the school office or by calling 922-5433.

is balanced in perfect maturity: ripeness, suspended between growth and decay.

He waxed eloquent also about the perfection of the arrangement of words: the three stanzas (three being a perfect number: beginning, middle, end), and the fact that all the senses get drawn into play. The first stanza, he noted, is all about taste, touch and smell. The second deals with sight, and the third is devoted to sounds.

Rereading that poem reminds me to taste and touch and smell autumn in all its glory, as well as to see it.

Keats nudges me: turns my face to look, to savor, to listen, to breathe.

I am so grateful to live here, in this place, with four distinct seasons, with the turning of the year painted in gold and amber and scarlet, with the quiet brook lying at the back of my meadow, and the sky so blue it hurts my heart.

I am so blessed to have eyes to see, ears to hear, a mind to wonder, and a soul to give thanks.

Happy autumn!

New opportunities for CTE students

By Betty Bean Frank Hawkey loves what he does. He loves teaching a practical skill that can lead not only to a good-paying job when his students leave Central Hawkey High School, but also to a rewarding career in heating, ventilation and air conditioning or the broader field of electricity.

He is excited about a change in his program that, starting this year, allows him to teach electricity and HVAC in alternating years. “It’s new and has the potential of making a more rounded student when they’re out of my program,� said Hawkey, who has been at Central for 16 years, “My program is one of the few where a student can get nationally recognized certification in Construction Core, Electricity, HVAC and EPA. That’s what makes it unique.�

EPA certification is an important and unusual offering at the high school level because it allows students to learn how to handle highly regulated refrigerants to which they would have no access outside of an

Halls swim team beats Oak Ridge The Halls High Swim Team defeated Oak Ridge last week 165-157, giving Halls a 2-0 start to the season.

Double event individual winners were: Ashley Durham in the 200 IM and 500 freestyle; Kara Seaman in

educational setting. “For a graduate to be able to walk into a mechanical or electrical company at 18 years old and say, ‘I have my certification,’ that’s a big deal.

You have older people trying to get into that field who don’t have this kind of certification – and my students get it at little or no cost to them. The only thing they have to pay for is EPA. Everything else is free,� Hawkey said.

A Central graduate who learned air conditioning from Jeff Clark and Glendon Deatheridge, Hawkey knows how he benefited from having teachers who helped him recognize his mechanical abilities and taught him how he could apply those talents to learning a trade. Clark got him his first interview, and he took the experience he gained on that job to southern California, where he stayed for eight years.

He moved his family back to Knoxville and went to work for Shoffner Service (now ShoffnerKalthoff Mechanical Electrical Service) in 1992. He started working on his certification in Career and Technical Education at the University of Tennessee and finished up at Lincoln Memorial University.

Today, ShoffnerKalthoff is one of the biggest supporters

of Hawkey’s program, welcoming his students to observe work in progress as well as donating equipment and speakers who talk to students about real world challenges.

Cantrell Heating & Air and Del-Air Mechanical have also pitched in to help. “I try not to talk money until the end of the presentation,� Hawkey said. “If the interest and the aptitude are there, the money comes later.

I feel that this is one of the most rewarding trades. But it seems even now I can’t get the word out enough to mechanical companies that we have students who are interested and would love to get into the trade.�

Hawkey worries about the future of his and other CTE programs. “I’m always concerned,� he said. “CTE has been put on the back burner. Currently I have 40 students, and that’s not anywhere close to where it needs to be. If my numbers don’t increase, my program will most likely be cut.�

Clearly, he’s not worried about his own job prospects. “I’m a licensed contractor and I have my own business. Work is not a problem.

But my responsibility on this earth is to my students, to help them.�

By Ruth White Second grade students at Brickey-McCloud Elementary School last week visited the Teddy Bear Emergency Room and receive quality care for beloved stuffed pets.

The clinic was set up to build on classroom instruction in science (germs and preventing illness), health and safety (hospitals are safe places to go for help) and social studies (community workers that provide help). Students learned that hospitals are places where people are there to help them feel better.

Each student wrote out what had happened to their pet and clinic staff members helped make each stuffed pet feel better. Students were required to give their pets love and care and read three books to it to help with healing.

Patricia Simmon’s pumpkin was a work of art … literally. The school art teacher drew Simmons’ name and made an incredible likeness.

Library secretary Kellie Bevins’ pumpkin looks a lot like Bevins, right down to the tattoo.

Brickey-McCloud gym teacher Larry Israel was portrayed in pumpkin form with very short hair and a whistle … a very accurate likeness.

Cindy Alley’s passion for Harley Davidson motorcycles was a dead giveaway for her pumpkin likeness.

Time to focus on bowl eligibility Optimism is linked to good health. Encouragement is wherever you find it. Fortunes are rooted in the power of positive thinking.

Sometime soon those still wearing orange sunglasses will stop looking back at the wreckage of what might have been and switch their focus to bowl eligibility. Six victories open the door to one of the many minor bowls. Go Vols! Give us six!

Nipping Middle Tennessee State will be a giant step forward. After that comes an inconvenient trip to Arkansas and then the old faithfuls, Vandy and Kentucky. Push hard, men. End this season with a bang!

Teachers across Knox County have been busy with evaluations, continuing education and teaching the classroom. After many weeks of hard work, Brickey-McCloud principal Robbie Norman knew that her staff needed a diversion.

Norman asked each staff member to draw the name of a co-worker and each was required to create a pumpkin to resemble their selection. Teachers got creative by decorating pumpkins to resemble others and their likes, and everyone enjoyed guessing which pumpkin belonged to which staff members.

Students joined in the fun of the great pumpkin guessing game.

Ah yes, Johnny Majors had it right, people remember what you do in November. And December. Last year, Tennessee and the officials found a way for North Carolina to prevail in the lovely Music City Bowl.

OK, so it required overtime.

Shreveport. Any one would be a genuine adventure for Dave Hart, new athletic director. The bulk of his experience has been in tandem with the big boys.

At about this stage of the discussion, some dull cynic will ask, “Why bother?”

There are valid reasons to covet minor bowl invitations. Some donors don’t want to go which reduces university losses on the guest list.

Coaches are in favor of all bowl invitations. They receive extra pay. Bonus is a key word in all Mike Hamilton contracts.

Players like bowl bids.

We will definitely get ’em next year.

Young players who are now just watching get extra practice opportunities. No doubt you noticed widespread improvement generated by the additional workouts of last December.

It’s a win-win situation, says West Knox resident Todd Williams, who owns the Peters Road store and four other Battery Plus franchises between Knoxville and Chattanooga.

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

Woman’s heart blockage treated with procedure thru wrist Judith Hodge sees people with heart disease every day. As a staff member of the Fort Sanders Heart Center, she well knows the signs and symptoms of a heart attack.

But, when Judith herself began experiencing chest pains off and on, she dismissed the warning signs.

“It’s called denial,” Judith admits now. “I figured it was just indigestion. I’m pretty healthy, so I didn’t think I could be having heart problems.”

Judith ignored her chest pain for several weeks until one Thursday afternoon, she suddenly felt unable to walk to her car after work.

“I asked one of our nurses to take my blood pressure, and it was very high,” remembers Judith. “When my EKG was also abnormal, Dr. Todd said, ‘You’re going straight to the ER.’ ” She spent the night in the hospital and in the morning interventional cardiologist Dr. Joshua Todd performed a transradial cardiac catheterization.

Judith learned that one of the arteries at the back of her heart was 95 percent blocked. Dr. Todd placed a stent to open the

Judith Hodge shows the tiny “battle scar” on her wrist from her recent transradial heart catheterization procedure.

“It was so quick,” says Judith. “I didn’t have to lie still for hours and not move my legs. It was very easy on me.”

Judith is amazed at how quickly she recovered from the procedure. “I was back at work on Monday, with just a tiny battle scar on my wrist,” she says, proudly displaying her arm. “If you have to have a heart cath, this is the way to go!”

Judith is continuing her reJudith Hodge is back at work at the Fort Sanders Heart Center shortly after covery by adopting a new healthy undergoing a heart catheterization procedure through her wrist. lifestyle and attending classes in artery and restore blood flow to tient’s wrist instead of the groin, the Fort Sanders Cardiac Rehaher heart.

and eating what I’m supposed to,” explains Judith. “I’ve already lost weight and now am building muscle.”

Judith knows that her heart blockage could have been diagnosed much sooner if she hadn’t ignored her symptoms. “Don’t ignore chest pains like I did. Get it checked out immediately,” she advises. “I almost waited too long. It was way too close.”

For more information about transradial catheterization and other cardiac procedures available at Fort Sanders Regional, call (865) 673-FORT (3678).

A quick flick of the wrist?

A new way to open blocked heart vessels Heart catheterization procedures can save lives. Commonly called “balloon” angioplasty and stenting, these minimally invasive procedures use tiny, balloon-like catheters inserted through a patient’s artery to reach the heart, where they facilitate a number of procedures to prevent and treat heart artery blockages.

Currently, the maJoshua W. Todd, jority of those cathM.D. eters are inserted Interventional through the femoral Cardiologist artery, which is in the groin. But at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center, a number of heart catheterization procedures are being performed through an artery in the wrist, a process called transradial cardiac catheterization.

This new technique can benefit patients with special health concerns. “It can be more comfortable for people who are morbidly obese, those who have chronic back pain, or patients who are on blood thinners have a higher risk of bleeding,” explains Dr. Joshua Todd, an Interventional Cardiologist with Knoxville Heart Group at Fort Sanders Regional. “With the wrist procedure, patients are sitting up immediately afterward with only a

But, with comparable patient outcomes for both methods, using the wrist does give physicians another option for catheter insertion.

“There are clear benefits for many patients with a transradial access catheterization, not just for heart procedures, but for any place in the body that needs a stent to open a blocked artery.” says Dr. Todd.

Although the transradial catheterization procedure may not be suitable for everyone, it is a new cardiac approach available at Fort Sanders Regional that offers benefits for those who do qualify.

small wrist bandage in place.”

While only five percent of cardiologists in the United States do transradial catheterization versus the traditional femoral approach, the use of this technique is growing and evolving.

“European countries perform fifty to ninety percent of their catheterizations through the wrist,” says Dr. Todd. “I think it will become more popular here and possibly become a standard of care

in the U.S. Transradial access has also been shown to reduce hospital length of stay and lower health care costs.”

One drawback to the transradial access is that in some patients (around 10-15%) the procedure may take a little longer than transfemoral access. Also, a quick, non-invasive bedside test must be done first on the wrist to make sure the artery has a dual blood supply in order to safely perform the procedure.

Benefits of transradial cardiac catheterization: N Less bleeding N Less pain N Quicker recovery N Earlier return to work N Low complication rate N Lower cost N Improved quality of life

An ounce of prevention ...

Your life may depend upon it

A

s we inch upwards of age 50, one piece of advice we too often try to ignore is “Get your colonoscopy.”

Dr. Bergein Overholt of Gastrointestinal Associates (GIA) says, “Don’t put this off! Your life may depend upon it.”

He and his group feel so strongly about the importance of the exam, they have made a day of it: GIA Screening Colonoscopy Day. The program, now in its third year, provides free colonoscopy exams to a group of people preselected by Interfaith Health Clinic and the Free Medical Clinic of America. GIA has partnered with providers such as Anesthesia Associates of Knoxville, Tennova, Premier Surgical Associates, The Endoscopy Center, Boston Scientific, Interactive Optics, the American Cancer Society and Salix Pharmaceuticals to enable folks who might not otherwise be screened to have this potentially life-saving procedure.

But perhaps just as important, GIA Screening Colonoscopy Day helps build awareness throughout the community of the importance of this preventative measure.

“Colon cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in the U.S. and one of the most curable if caught early,” said Overholt. “Screening colonoscopy is the only test that allows us to find and remove abnormal cell growths called polyps from the entire colon.”

He ought to know. Overholt pioneered flexible fiberoptic sigmoidoscopy, devel-

oping the instrument which led to modern colonoscopy. As founding partner at GIA, he has fostered a commitment to research for providing the best and most advanced care in gastroenterology. GIA is a national leader in technology for the treatment and diagnosis of gastrointestinal diseases.

GIA was the first private practice in the country to develop a state licensed,

Left to Right: Jerry Griffey, Partner and LFD; Kaitlyn McAdams, LFD and Eric Arnold Botts, Managing Partner and LFD 5301 Fountain Road • Knoxville, TN 37918 (865) 689-4481 www.gentrygriffeyfuneralchapel.com

Medicare certified, endoscopic ambulatory surgery center (ASC), making gastrointestinal health care more convenient and affordable for patients. Now with three ASC locations in Knoxville, GIA serves as a model for practices around the country.

Currently, GIA is pioneering new technologies and procedures for the treatment of Barrett’s esophagus.

During the latest GIA Screening Colonoscopy Day, more than half of the 46 patients screened had polyps removed.

Though typically benign, some polyps contain a small area of cancer or will develop into cancer over time. Studies have shown that polyp removal has been associated with a 60- to 90-percent reduction in colorectal cancer.

These exams are essential to preventing colon cancer for anyone age 50 or older. It is even more important for people with a family history of colon cancer to be screened regularly.

“I can’t stress enough just how important this screening is,” said Overholt.

“This year, 32 percent of the patients screened during the event had at least one cancerous polyp, and one patient was diagnosed with cancer that arose from a polyp. When we find these polyps early, we can very likely prevent or cure this cancer. And early diagnosis gives those with cancer a fighting chance.”

So don’t put it off any longer. In the case of a screening colonoscopy, an ounce of prevention could truly mean a cure.

The Medicare program can be confusing because of its many different parts, supplemental coverage options and specific Medicare enrollment periods for different products. All of these nuances can make Medicare hard to understand for new enrollees as well as for those who have been on the program for a number of years.

If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re new to the program or even if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a seasoned Medicare veteran, here are six things you should know about the program heading into 2012.

If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re new to Medicare, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to know that both parts of original Medicare (A and B) have deductibles. And, the Part A deductibles are not tied to a calendar year like they are with traditional health insurance. Instead, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re

New Benefit: Starting in 2011, health care reform requires all Medicare Advantage plans to have a maximum limit of $6,700 on how much a customer can pay out of their own pocket for medical services, excluding the cost of prescription drugs.

Each type of supplemen-

tal coverage has different guidelines for when you can enroll, change and cancel your coverage.

There are new Medicare annual enrollment dates Most beneficiaries can change a Medicare Advantage plan or stand-alone Medicare prescription drug plan once per year during Medicareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual enrollment period (AEP). The dates for AEP changed this year, and run from Oct. 15 to Dec. 7 in 2011.

Medicare Supplement plans have an initial enrollment period, which occurs in the first six months after you enroll in Medicare Part B and are 65 or older. During that time, you can enroll in a Medicare Supplement plan and not be declined. But, if you try to enroll after the initial enrollment period, your application could be declined based on a review of your medical history.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s critical to compare drug coverage every year PlanPrescriber.com, an Internet company that allows people to compare Medicare plans side-by-side and research benefits, drug prices and different coverage options, looked at 25,000 user sessions on its website during the 2011 AEP (between Nov. 15, 2010, and Dec. 31, 2010). Customers entered their ZIP code; their existing Medicare prescription drug plan or Medicare Advantage drug plan; and the names, dosages and frequency of any prescription drugs they were taking, if any.

The siteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prescription drug plan comparison tool found that, on average, a user could save more than $500 per year â&#x20AC;&#x201D; more than $40 per month â&#x20AC;&#x201D; by reviewing their options and changing their prescription drug plan.

But, averages donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell the full story. In a recent news article, a MarketWatch reporter compared the cost differences for a single drug in one Georgia ZIP code and found that annual expenses could range from $2,661 to $9,032, depending on which Medicare Advantage plan is chosen.

Get star power in 2012 The Affordable Care Act, (health care reform) requires a star rating system to be used for Medicare Advantage plans, beginning in 2012. Plans get a rating of 1 to 5, with a 5-star rating equating to an â&#x20AC;&#x153;Excellent Performance,â&#x20AC;? and a 1-star rating equating to a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Poor Performance.â&#x20AC;?

This year, baby boomers begin turning 65, which means more people will be enrolling in the basic benefit than ever before, putting more stress and time constraints on enrollment experts.

New to Medicare?

According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, out of 523 plans nationwide in 2011, only three received an overall rating of 5, and 74 received an overall rating 4 or 4.5 stars.

Heading into 2012 the hope is that more plans will achieve this high 5-star rating.

If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re lucky enough to have access to a 5-star plan, consider it as an option for your coverage. One benefit of a 5-star plan is that you can enroll at any time, even outside of Medicareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual enrollment period.

Make way for baby boomers qualifying for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Original Medicareâ&#x20AC;? at age 65 That, plus the new dates, means people who wait until the last minute could be putting themselves at risk. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good idea to make a plan and review your coverage for 2012 early.

2012 Medicare annual enrollment period runs from Oct. 15 to Dec. 7, 2011.

Many people who are new to Medicare may have to deal with the complexity of the program. Here are some basics: â&#x2013; Medicare is comprised of four major programs: Part A, Part B, Part C, and Part D. Medicare Part A and Part B are often referred to as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Original Medicare.â&#x20AC;? There are also Medicare Supplement plans, which are designed as an alternative to Part C to fill gaps in Parts A and B. â&#x2013; Generally speaking, Part A covers in-patient hospitalization while Part B covers outpatient services and other medical care. â&#x2013; Part C denotes the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Medicare Advantageâ&#x20AC;? program where private insurance companies deliver Medicare Part A, Part B and, in most cases, Part D benefits to plan enrollees. â&#x2013; Part D is the Medicare prescription drug benefit that provides insurance coverage for medications. â&#x2013; Your circumstances determine when you can enroll in or change Part D and C plans. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Family Features

Keeping your muscles healthy as you age Take control of how you age

D

id you know you have more than 600 muscles in your body, including your tongue, heart and stomach?

When exerted, your muscles pull against your skeleton, causing your bones to become strong and durable. But a lack of exercise and nutrition can compromise your muscle strength, especially as you age.

“The average person can lose 8 percent of muscle tissue every 10 years after the age of 40,” says Dr. Vonda Wright, orthopedic surgeon, medical researcher and author of “Fitness After 40.” “When

it comes to muscle, if you don’t use it, you’ll lose it.”

In addition to age, a sedentary lifestyle and poor nutrition can lead to loss of muscle. Many people are surprised to learn that a sedentary person may have 40 to 50 percent body fat. On the flip side, muscle burns more calories than fat during daily activities,

including sitting.

A serious, temporary illness or injury or a diet lacking proper nutrition, especially protein, can also cause a loss in muscle mass. So muscle loss is not just a concern of the middle-aged or inactive, but for anyone who wants to stay healthy and active.

To find out if your muscles are

in good shape, try the push-up test. Men of any age should be able to do 11 and women should be able to complete eight. If you fall short of your goal, don’t despair. You still have time to build muscle strength with these tips: • Feed your muscle. Proteins are the building blocks of muscle. Get your protein daily from meat, poultry, fish, nuts, eggs and beans. You can also augment your diet with healthful protein and nutrition shakes, such as Ensure Muscle Health shakes, which contain Revigor (a source of HMB, an amino-acid metabolite), and 13 grams of protein to help rebuild muscle and strength naturally lost over time. They are perfect for a snack on the go.

• Get aerobic exercise. Try to get between 30 to 60 minutes of blood-pumping exercise daily to build muscle endurance. And stretch your muscles before and after to prevent injury.

Parkview Senior Living INDEPENDENT SERVICE

• Carry a load. Resistance training is also essential to keeping your muscles strong and limber and retaining bone density.

Use weights or the resistance of your own body weight to build your strength.

“We live in an amazing time when we really are able to have some control over how we age,” says Dr. Wright. “In fact, there’s new evidence that boomers and seniors who exercise three to five times a week are able to retain lean muscle like younger athletes. So don’t let your age discourage you from living a healthier, active life today!”

For more information about maintaining healthy muscles and to read more of Dr. Wright’s tips, visit www.ensure.com. Then get started rebuilding your muscle strength. After all, this is the only body you have.
