Johnson to lead FC parade By Jake Mabe Hardy Johnson figures it was meant to be for him to go into the shoe repair business. “My dad was in it and his dad was, so I thought I might as well pick it up!” Johnson has been named the grand marshal of the Fountain City Christmas Parade, which is sponsored by the Optimist Club of Knoxville. “I’m going to be a marshal, but I don’t know how grand I am,” Johnson said, smiling. He has operated Custom Shoe Rebuilders in Fountain City since 1953. Now 83 years old, Johnson still comes to work every day, six days a week. His son,
Jim, who works with him, says the longest his dad ever stayed away from work was when he had a heart attack about five years ago. He was out for three weeks. “He works harder than anyone,” Jim says. “He’d say, ‘Can I come over for one hour?’ Then he wanted to come in for two hours. He came back way too early, but that’s what makes him happy. “Very few people get to be with their dad every day. He’s just a pleasure to be around.” Jim says he and his dad do regular shoe repair, orthopedic buildups, leather repairs and, yep, still shine
The best laid plans? Commission neuters Hillside/ Ridge Top Plan By Larry Van Guilder After more than 3 1/2 years, County Commission’s debate on the Hillside and Ridge Top Protection Plan ended last week as that body accepted an amendment which declared the plan “advisory.”

shoes. The phone number is 689-6486. “We can fix anything but a broken heart,” Hardy says. Hardy was born and raised “right above the lake,” and he attends Bethel Baptist Church in Corryton. Jim says his dad used to take him to watch the Christmas parade when Jim was a kid. Now, Hardy takes Jim’s son with him to watch the parade most years. “The parade has always been important to him.” The parade will be held Saturday, Dec. 3.

betrayal to homeowners and businesses that endorsed the plan that had emerged from the facilitated joint meetings of commission and City Council. Plan opponents have habitually engaged in bluster and threat, and last week was no exception. Speaking for the Chamber, attorney Tom McAdams said, “There are lawsuits waiting to be had if you make this binding.” “All you want to do is kick us in the teeth when we’re down,” developer Scott Davis said, alluding to the depressed construction industry. County Law Director Joe Jarret said a property owner’s right to appeal an MPC decision was not affected by the plan. “Regardless of what language you put in the plan, there’s still redress for the landowner,” Jarret said.

“It’s raining again,” said Norman, as discussion wound down. The vote is about water issues and Briggs’ amendment “is a Trojan horse, he added. “City Council walked away (from the joint facilitated meetings) and we were in agreement. “Water knows no boundary between city and county. … We need to stay parallel with the city.” “The Briggs amendment,” Norman concluded, “is muddying the water metaphorically and practically.” But Briggs said his amendment “un-muddies” the water. “People may say I’m taking one side or another, but I’m not,” he said, without a trace of irony. What are those who expected more left with? First, a plan for the county that is unlikely to pass – or even be presented – at City
Council. If council members sign off on the plan approved at the joint meetings, city and county policies on slope protection diverge. That outcome brings to mind the city/county divide on stormwater ordinances in 2007 which resulted in the city threatening to sue the county. Because of Briggs’ amendment, developers in the county may feel less constrained in continuing the practices that resulted in the Dawson Hollow disaster a few months ago or the hillside stripping at Watt Road which Norman aptly called “an abomination.” “How do you have a ‘nonbinding’ map?” Norman asked. With Briggs’ “advisory” amendment tacked on, that self-contradicting, limbo-dwelling creation is precisely what we have.

Sterchi team honors Coach Jones You should’ve seen the look on J.W. Jones’ face last week when he walked into the back room at Litton’s. Waiting on him were players from his 1961-62 8th grade basketball team, the Sterchi Royals, which won the East Tennessee Elementary Championship with a 30-1 record. They held a surprise luncheon for their coach on the 50th anniversary of the team’s success. Pointing to his golfing buddy, Wiley Jones, who drove him to Litton’s, J.W. Jones said, “Wiley said we were going to get together with some older guys and talk some. I thought it was

going to be golfers from Beaver Brook, where I’ve been a member for 40-plus years.” Instead, he saw Mike Fleming, Robert Hamilton, Greg Ratcliff, Tommy Ray, David Rector, Jimmy Sullivan and Joe Wilson, all of whom stood and applauded. They gave him a special plaque as well as a directory and letters from surviving players. Every-
body took a minute to share a story or two. “Today is your day,” Sullivan said. “It’s well deserved. Little did we know as young boys we had a coach qualified to teach at a high school or college or university. I just hope that one day my grandchildren and the grandchildren of these guys here can have a coach like J.W. Jones.” Jones graduated from Carson-Newman and taught and coached boys and girls at Sterchi from 1960-62. He went to Halls High School in 1962 and served as head basketball coach for 10 years and

taught golf for two years. He was the KIL Coach of the Year in 1962-63, his first year at Halls, and was later named the county’s Teacher of the Year as a physical education instructor. Jones earned a master’s degree in administration and later served as a principal. Sullivan said the lunch came about when Fleming contacted him about an upcoming reunion at Powell High School. A few weeks later, Fleming brought a photo of the Sterchi team by for Sullivan to see. “I said, ‘Do the math – it’s our 50th anniversary.’ ” Sullivan and Flem-

ing located their former teammates in about three weeks. Nine of them later went to Central High and three attended Powell High. One teammate, Terry Cox, has passed away. Four others were unable to attend the lunch. Sam Brown now lives in Alaska. Gary Cassell lives in Austin, Texas. Bob Parrish is a dentist in Albany, Ga., and Randy Williams does government contract work in Washington, D.C. “Every one of these players led a successful life,” Sullivan says. At the lunch, they told
stories and swapped old nicknames. Sullivan said he remembered the time Jones visited his home. “He was selling encyclopedias. Coaches didn’t make too much back then.” (His first year at Sterchi, Jones made $3,300.) Fleming says he remembers his coach’s positive leadership. “I can’t ever recall you getting down on us.” “What I remember is that you were interested in all of us doing as well as we possibly could,” said Wilson. “They are a great group of guys,” Jones said. “I’ll tell you that.”

Max Alvarez, for years the go-to guy for Fountain City Park and Lake as a member of the Fountain City Lions Club, has died at age 93 in Signal Mountain. He leaves his wife of 69 years, Avelina “A� Alvarez, two sons and their families. Mr. Alvarez worked tirelessly to raise private and corporate donations for Fountain City Park and Lake, culminating in 1997 when he was awarded the Sertoma Service to Mankind Man of the Year Award by the Knoxville Sertoma Club for raising more than $230,000. He served as president of the Fountain City Lions Club and later as chair of “special projects.� During that ceremony, Richard Ruh said we sometimes wonder if one person can really make an impact. The life of Max Alvarez makes a clear statement that,
“Yes, one person can make a big difference,� he said. A drive down Broadway shows that “somebody cares about this place,� Ruh said, referring to Max and the Lions Club, which maintains the Park and Lake. Mr. Alvarez was never shy about soliciting money to improve the Park. In 1989, Fountain City Town Hall recognized his leadership and contributions when they named him Man of the Year. He was an avid golfer and a former board member of Beaver Brook Golf and Country Club. He was active at Smithwood Baptist Church, was a veteran of World War II where he received the Bronze Star and co-founded Vulcan Safety Shoes in 1966. The company is headed today by his son Bob and operates online and at three locations. – S. Clark

Nip it in the bud No one likes a bully. When we see bullying, especially in our schools, we’re becoming quicker to condemn it and take action. County Commission isn’t the schoolyard, and practicing politics will never be confused with “Ring Around the Rosie.” Sharp, informed exchanges are not only expected but desirable in our representative form of government. But lately the transparent dislike of one commissioner for another has reBroyles sulted in one crossing the line that separates mutual exchange from the tactics of intimidation. Mike Brown is consistently targeting Amy Broyles with the all but spoken acquiescence of commission chair Mike Hammond. Broyles is, to begin with, in a uniquely vulnerable position. She’s the only woman on the 11-member commission and one of only two Democrats. Brown Being outnumbered 10-1 in gender and 9-2 in party preference hasn’t stopped Broyles from saying her piece, and apparently Brown finds that annoying. At last week’s commission meeting he angrily interrupted Broyles. “I have the floor,” Broyles said. You’re repeating the same things “over and over,” Brown said. Hammond mildly said – in effect – “Play nice.” Because of her outspokenness, and because she is so often in the minority on questions before commission, for other commissioners Broyles can be (as my grandfather might have said) “hard to cotton to.” And she does have a tendency to revisit an issue once too often. But personal dislike for a fellow legislator or her style doesn’t trump the necessity for mutual respect when commission sits as a body. The venomous tone with which Brown addresses Broyles even suggests an underlying misogyny. If there are any woman-haters on commission, a rapid attitude adjustment is in order. Knoxville just elected a woman mayor, and the times they are a-changin’. Perhaps Brown isn’t aware of how the spectacle of a strong, husky man bullying a petite woman plays to the audience. If not, the clerk’s office could retrieve the video of the day when Commissioner Greg “Lumpy” Lambert left his seat and approached Mayor Mike Ragsdale’s senior staffer Cynthia Finch as she stood at the lectern. No matter how you felt about Finch, it was an ugly moment. It isn’t incumbent upon Broyles and Brown to be pals. However, it is the duty of the commission chair to see that members conduct their business with mutual respect. Hammond may have been off his game last week. We know he was ill for a time. Assuming he returns to form for the December meeting, he should clarify the ground rules sooner rather than later. “Nip it in the bud,” our favorite fictional law officer would say, before the problem gets worse. Some might say Broyles talks too much, others Brown too little. Both were elected to vigorously represent the interests of their constituents, and we trust that each will continue to do so. But enough already with the bullying. It discredits the individual, the leadership and the body. Knox County expects better. Contact Larry Van Guilder at lvgknox@mindspring.com.

If I do it, I’m gonna really do it.” She didn’t live in the district, so she took the giant step of vacating her home in North Knoxville and moving into a rental house in Halls. She campaigned fiercely against the odds for 90 days. Despite the outcome, she remains relentlessly optimistic and upbeat about her campaign for the 6th District Senate seat vacated by Jamie Woodson, who departed last summer to take the helm of an education think tank.
and her two GOP primary opponents. “They were talking about newspapers printing government whatevers, guns, things like that, and I asked shouldn’t we be talking about things that are going to help people in the 6th District, like taking the tax off groceries and taking taxes off of small businesses? I talked to a lot of Republicans who completely supported those two issues.” Johnson says that moving to Halls hasn’t been a hardship, and that she had intended to move closer to her ailing parents, who don’t live far from her rental house on Long Hollow Road. She also intends to stay in touch with Sen. Massey. “I think she’s a very nice lady,” Johnson said. “I called her on election night and told her I will be in touch.

Becky Massey is off and running By Sandra Clark For anyone who missed the significance, Becky Duncan Massey is running hard for re-election. And she should, since candidates can pick up petitions starting Jan. 6, the qualifying deadline is noon April 5 and the winner-take-all primary is Aug. 2. The swearing in event at Central High School a couple of Sundays ago wasn’t so much a coronation as a campaign kickoff. And it was a dandy. First, Massey had participation from each high school in District 6: Carter, Central, Gibbs, Halls, South-Doyle and West. An opening dance was choreographed by Massey’s daughter Courtney and the master of ceremonies was radio personality Bob Thomas, who attended school with the senator at Chilhowee Elementary. The invocation was by the Rev. John Wood of Cedar Springs Presbyterian Church. The former softball coach touched all the bases. “This is a happy day for our family,â€? said Massey’s brother U.S. Rep. Jimmy Duncan. “Becky will speak out for the people she serves. She has the confidence to do a good job and a heart for service.â€? Then he joked, “I just don’t understand how she got to the Senate before I did!â€? Massey spoke briefly: “I want to make government work, not make government bigger. ‌ Despite our difficulties, the United States remains strong. ‌ Tennessee has incredible natural beauty and amazing people. Financially, we’re in better shape than almost any state. But there is always more to do.â€? John and Lois Duncan would have been proud to see their four kids – Beverly, Jimmy, Becky and Joe – on stage together. They would have been even prouder to see the folks in the audience, old friends from days gone by and lifelong political allies. So Becky Duncan Massey heads off to Nashville, buoyed by the good wishes (and a landslide mandate) from the folks in District 6. Godspeed.

Rogero sets Inaugural: much to do During a four year term, a mayor gives five speeches which are carefully listened to by the public and decision makers. These are the four budget or state of the city messages and the fifth, but the first one the mayor makes, is the inaugural address. A mayor makes countless talks and speeches but these five are the ones guaranteed to be heard. Madeline Rogero, by choosing the Jacob Building as the site of her Inaugural and swearing in for four new council members and city judge, has made East Knoxville the well deserved focal point of her attention. This will be the first time a mayor has been sworn into office in East Knoxville. The site will be a good setting to address concerns in our African-American community as well as the entire city. The first Jacob Building was built in 1910 and burned down in 1938. Rebuilt shortly thereafter, it was substantially overhauled during my tenure as mayor under the able, steady, longtime leadership of Robert “Bob� Polk, director of public assembly and facilities. New bathrooms, heating and air condi-

tioning, an elevator and new panels were added, along with a dressed up entrance off Magnolia Avenue with the ugly chain link fencing removed. I held one of my 16 budget messages at Chilhowee Park in front of the bandstand and it is great to see the 2011 Inaugural occur there as well. By having it indoors she does not need a rain alternative. Polk says he is “honored and excited� that the city’s 68th mayor will hold her Inaugural at the Jacob Building. No doubt he and the chair of his board, the energetic, irrepressible Shirley Nash Pitts, will leave no stone unturned to ensure a flawlessly executed event at 10 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 17. I suspect it will be a huge crowd (700 to 800 people) by mayoral Inaugural standards so one had better plan to be there early for parking and a good seat. Yet to be announced is the mas-

Pelot, chair, departs next month when her term expires. Speculation centers on incoming council member Finbarr Saunders, who has an extensive financial background, replacing her. Council will probably opt to have one of its own members on the board. Hopefully, Mayor-elect Rogero will attend the meetings herself each month and not turn it over to an aide. She will learn a lot simply by being present. While the board chooses its own chair, an attentive and attending mayor is likely to be the chair by vote of the board if she participates. Given the large amount of money and problems involved in the pension plan, it is appropriate (even imperative) for the mayor to be the board’s leader.
ter of ceremonies, whether the governor or U.S. senators will attend, who will sing the national anthem, who will give the invocation and benediction, and if any musical group will perform as well as a band. Invitations must go out. Who will sit on the platform, all of City Council or just those being sworn into office? Spouses included or not? Will the persons giving the invocation and singing the national anthem get a platform seat? Where will elected officials be placed? The six persons being sworn into office will choose who will administer the oath, who will hold the Bible and who will stand with him/her as the oath is given. A photographer is required. Programs must be printed which emphasize the theme of the Rogero Administration. It is not a simple task to pull off such an event. I was fortunate to have optimistic, dedicated Sue Clancy followed by the incomparable Mickey Mallonee lead the effort for four Inaugurals. They did it without a hitch. City Pension Board: Barbara

Hodge inducted into horse show hall of fame PULL UP A CHAIR … | Jake Mabe

all it the crowning achievement of a successful career. Halls native Larry Hodge was inducted, along with his wife, Joan Hamilton, into the Kentucky State Fair World’s Championship Horse Show Hall of Fame earlier this year. Hodge says it’s similar to being inducted into any of the professional sports halls of fame. “It’s quite an honor for me,” he says. “The people who vote are other Hall of Fame members. I’ve just been fortunate throughout my career.” Hodge started out training Shetland ponies as a child. “We had that little farm and as kids growing up, my brother Ronnie and I had ponies. My parents (the late Max and Helen) had horses and I began breeding and buying and selling. It was a hobby for us.” Young Larry would even be known to ride his pony to football practice. His mother, Helen, bought him a Saddlebred pony named High Voltage and something stuck. “It got in my blood, I guess.” Hodge has worked as a trainer at Kalarama Farm in Springfield, Ky., since the early 1970s. Hamilton is Kalarama’s owner and is in charge of the breeding division. Calling from a show in Kansas City, Hodge said one of the biggest thrills of his career has been getting to travel all over the country. “We had a client from California and we flew horses to Phoenix. Once we did a show at Madison
A young Larry Hodge (standing), already bitten by the equestrian bug, with his cousin Hugh Allen Hamley. Square Garden, and at that time, I’d never been to those places. The show at Madison Square Garden broke my career open.” He’s since traveled to Australia and South Africa and exported several horses to Europe. “I’ve got to see a lot of the world and meet a lot of interesting people. It’s a good lifestyle and you get to do something you really like. I guess I have a God-given talent for training horses.” Hodge’s father, Max, was in the grocery business, but Hodge says he never much liked being inside. “We’ve got three farms in Kentucky and I raise a lot of cattle, too. It seems like the more I’ve got going on, the more I like it.” Hodge says he’s won “every class available for a professional trainer”
and has lost count of how many World’s Championships he’s won, but estimates it’s more than 200. He’s won “the big one” – the Five-Gaited World’s Grand Championship – twice and says his riders “have pretty much won everything.” His son Max once joked that he thought his dad might’ve been a horse in another life! When Hodge received the Richard E. Lavery Horseman of the Year Award in 2002, Elisabeth Goth, who presented him with the award, says Hodge apprenticed under “some of the most influential trainers in the history of the sport,” including Royce Cates, Rap Sherill, Ned Clapp, Jim B. Robertson, George Gwinn and Garland Bradshaw. Those who know say that Hodge possesses incredible patience and
Larry Hodge at work. The Halls native, who has been a trainer at Kalarama Farm in Kentucky for more than 40 years, has been inducted into the Kentucky State Fair World’s Championship Horse Show Hall of Fame. Photos submitted dogged determination. “Some of his friends and fellow horsemen talked to me about his ‘no guts, no glory’ approach to showing,” Goth said. “He puts himself on the line, he goes the extra mile, he steps up to the plate and takes the heat. He is always bigger than the occasion and he handles pressure very well. He exercises good judgment and he believes in his horses and riders.” Hodge says it’s kind of like coaching a ball team and recruiting the best players you can find.
“I’ve been fortunate to have some of the best talents and the best clients.” A 1967 Halls High graduate, Hodge played football and basketball and remembers Halls as a close-knit, country community. “It was a great place to grow up with a lot of nice people. Seems like we barely had enough players to make a football team and we played both offense and defense. I have a lot of good memories. When I do get to come back, I’m almost lost. It’s changed and grown so much.”

What will you do on Christmas? Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name; worship the Lord in the splendor of his holiness. (Psalm 29: 2 NIV) OK, so I know it is Advent, and normally on this day I would write about the season of preparation, the penitential nature of the weeks leading up to Christmas, the fugue in time that has John the Baptist show up as a grown man immediately after the visit of the Magi. But not yet. We will get there, but not yet. This is a pre-emptive strike, because there are church boards and committees – right now – who are wringing their hands over the fact that Christmas falls on Sunday this year. “Oh, what will we do? We can’t possibly tear children away from their toys and families away from their Christmas festivities!” And my personal favorite: “Christmas has never fallen on Sunday before.” (I actually heard those words

it was on! It was a day of sacred meaning, a day of rejoicing that God had entered the world God created, that God was “pleased as man with men to dwell.” It was a day to rejoice, to worship this God who had come to be one of us. Only after you had worshipped did you go home and celebrate with feasting and gift-giving and singing carols. “But what about the children?” you ask. “They won’t get to play with their toys!” Yes, they will. Of course they will. After worship. Am I hard-nosed? Maybe. Am I a worship junkie? Most certainly.

had root canal treatments need to have caps made for them?” Answer: “The great majority of teeth which have had root canal treatments do indeed need to have “caps" (crowns) made for them. Two factors primarily contribute to this need. One, when the diseased nerve and tissue are removed from the tooth root canal (tunnel), the enamel and dentin become more brittle, and the possibility of fracture is increased. Two,
for most teeth that have had root canal treatments, the “above the gumline” tooth structure has been weakened due to decay or fracture. Crowns serve to help protect the teeth from further breakage and restore their natural appearance. In some rare instances, a tooth with little or no structural damage will require root canal treatment. On such a tooth a crown may not be needed, and the dentist will often permanently seal the entrance to the canal with a bonding tooth colored restorative material”

kids Central standout turning the page By Betty Bean It’s almost time for Cody Blanc to turn the page. The Central High School football standout/ honor student is taking algebra, t r i go n o m etry, college prep English 4, economics and Blanc government online so that he can enroll in the University of Tennessee in January. He’s hoping to jumpstart his collegiate academics before football practice starts. “It was real stressful the first nine weeks, but it ain’t gonna lighten up once I get over to UT,” he said. He is slated to play defensive back and is grateful for the opportunity, which didn’t materialize until last summer after he came in third in the state decathlon competition, shattering school records along the way. “People like Virginia Tech, Vanderbilt and Kentucky knew who I was, but UT didn’t know me till I went
over for a summer camp. They timed us and I did really good on all my times, which got their attention. I went one-on-one with a receiver from Texas that they were recruiting and did a lot better than they thought I could do, so they asked me to come back one more time for their last camp in July. That’s when they offered me a scholarship. “I met with Coach Dooley, and he said ‘To be honest, we didn’t really know much about you.’ Football here just isn’t as big as it is in places like Georgia or Florida or Texas,” Cody said. Defensive backs coach Terry Joseph called Cody and said the staff had filmed his camp performance and liked what they saw. Then he offered Cody a scholarship. “I didn’t know they were going to do that. I just thought they’d ask me to come back. My heart was beating real fast and I was smiling. Soon as I got off the phone, I called my mom. She was ecstatic. Virginia Tech had already offered me, but now I can still see

Gibbs band ends season on high note By Ruth White The Gibbs High marching band attended several competitions this season and director Jonathan Humber was pleased with the results of the show. “This year we featured a patriotic show titled ‘Fight for Freedom’ in remembrance of several significant events in American history,” said Humber. “It was an emotional program and we received several emails from other schools stating how much they appreciated the show we presented at halftime this year.” The band received second place honors for majorette and drum
major at the Heritage competition; second place for auxiliary at the South-Doyle competition; and at the Alcoa competition they received grand champion majorette in 3A-4A, first place majorette in 3A and second place in drumline. During the competition season, the band received many superior ratings for band, guard, percussion, majorette and drum major. For the group, the audience reaction to the show was important this season. “It’s not always about the numbers,” said Humber. “We made a positive impact on the audiences and gave everything we had to
give. I am pleased with this group and the performances they gave.” Humber is proud of his band because of their talent and because they continue growing and musically getting better. “This is the most emotionally invested band we’ve had in a long time. The leadership team has done a great job keeping up with their sections and they have been prepared at practices and other events.” Now that football season is complete, the drumline and Winterguard will compete and perform at some home basketball games this season.

Making soup from a stone By Ruth White Third grade students at Fountain City Elementary School entertained a packed gym with their production of “Stone Soup,” a play by Sally K. Albrecht
and Jay Althouse. The group sang five fun songs from the play and the big pot of soup made from stones and other items took the grumpiness out of the town.

Sterchi students were rewarded with a program by author Allan Wolf for the school having the most students complete the summer reading program through the public library in the north region. Sterchi was one of four elementary schools in the county to receive this honor earlier this year. The performance was made possible by a partnership between the Children’s Reading Foundation and the Knox County Public Library.

News from Knoxville’s Community Development Corporation (KCDC)
Senior finds new home for the holidays Peggy Swan moved to Knoxville nine years ago to be closer to her three sisters and children who live in the area. She was living in North Alvin Nance Knox, but Director as she got older she found it harder to make the commute to East Knoxville to visit her family. So when the Residences at Eastport, a community for seniors age 62 and older, became available, she jumped at the chance to move in. Swan was one of 30 residents who moved into Knoxville’s Community Development Corporation’s new premier housing complex at the beginning of November. KCDC is leasing now for an additional 30 units in December. Before moving here,
Swan suffered a stroke. She now has limited mobility on one side of her body and is on disability. As a senior on disability, living somewhere affordable is important. “I’m on a strict budget and if I don’t stick to it, I won’t make it,” Swan said. “Living where rent is income-based and utilities are included really helps.” Peggy Swan has been living in her new apartment for almost a month, and she said that she has enjoyed the new amenities and the closeness to her family. “It’s good to be close by for the holidays,” Swan said. “I don’t even have to drive. I can almost see my sister’s house from my window.” The Residences at Eastport is also close to the Fair Garden Preschool, where she volunteers every day. The 15 children in the class of 3-year-olds call her “Granny.” Swan also appreciates the safety and security she
‘A lawyer’s nightmare’ Council members criticize amended Hillside Plan
By Betty Bean What will happen when City Council considers the Hillside/Ridge Top plan passed last week by County Commission? The plan resulted from six joint meetings of commissioners and council members, but their work washed away when the commission accepted on a 7-3-1 vote a “ripper amendment” by Dr. Richard Briggs to make the whole plan advisory (nonbinding). Charles Thomas, one of two lawyers on City Council, attended all six facilitated workshops. He is not happy with the commission’s vote. “We’ve been put in a position to where we are under pressure to follow the commission and I’m not sure that’s fair. And I am understating how I feel about this.” Even though the commission had already voted the plan down, numerous commissioners urged their city counterparts to postpone
considering the plan until a consensus-seeking process took place. The loudest voice was that of Richard Briggs. Thomas said he came out of the Nov. 10 workshop feeling optimistic about the plan’s chances. Now he is mindful that the commission has voted twice on the measure before City Council ever considered it. “I don’t know for sure, but my impression was the original taskforce plan (the one County Commission voted down) had a good chance to pass City Council as it was. And I think the facilitated plan also had an excellent chance of passing, too.” Council member Nick Della Volpe, also an attorney, favored the joint sessions and proposed some developmentfriendly changes that were added to the preface. He, too, is unhappy with commission acting unilaterally to adopt the Briggs amendment. “What they’ve done is say
feels at the Residences at Eastport. The gated community is accessible with keyless entry for the gate and apartment door. Residents and KCDC management are the only people with access. Every leased apartment comes with free Lifeline service, a button clipped to the clothing or worn around the neck that allows the seniors to call 911 for help in the case of a fall. When she had her stroke, Swan fell and could not get to her phone. She had to wait six hours for help to arrive. Swan said she feels more comfortable and safe living in a property exclusively for seniors. “I think it’s a nice spot to be,” Swan said. “Everyone’s on the same level here, and we understand each other. We know that some things are harder to do because we’re seniors, such as open the door with groceries in your hands, but people will come by and lend a helping hand.
The people here are nice people.” Swan said that the move-in process was smooth and easy. She viewed the new complex at the open house and was invited for the ribboncutting when KCDC and Knoxville and Knox County mayors dedicated the property on Oct. 25. The property is the first phase in the revitalization of the Five Points neighborhood. The Residences at Eastport will provide safe, affordable housing to the many seniors, like Swan, in the Five Points area. Swan is grateful to have a new home for the holidays that is affordable, safe and close to her family. She cooked Thanksgiving dinner in her new apartment and said she can’t wait for the first snow. “I can’t wait to look out my window and see all the snow. I can put on my boots and walk to my sister’s house, and we can play in it,” Swan said.
they really haven’t adopted a plan, or what appears to be a plan is not quite one, and we aren’t bound by it. At that last meeting, they kept asking, ‘Does anyone disagree’? Are you comfortable with this? It would have been a good thing for Mr. Briggs to have brought up his idea there.” “Extremely disappointed,” is council member Brenda Palmer’s reaction. “I think the level of trust in future joint endeavors has really been breached,” she said. Palmer did not favor the joint sessions and was ready to vote on the original plan that had been more than three years in the making. “Everyone had an opportunity to speak, but we have a group of people who feel that they can wait until the last minute, come in and have their way,” she said. Council member Joe Bailey set up the joint workshops, even though he, like Palmer, wanted an up-ordown vote last summer. But the Briggs amendment didn’t surprise him. “A majority of City Council and a majority of County Commission said we ought to serve on that ad hoc commit-
tee, which I thought was an awful idea. … I argued against it, but when they prevailed, I got the facilitator and tried to be fair.” Bailey said the county decision affects city residents on issues like stormwater runoff and flooding. “The big elephant in the room always was, is this binding or nonbinding. I knew some type of amendment would come forward, and now the commission has acted and here’s the product. It looks to me like a planner’s dream and a lawyer’s nightmare.
News from Rural/Metro
Stay safe this holiday season By Rob Webb Before crawling up on the roof to string the Christmas lights, please think safety first. Each year we see too many injuries and accidents resulting from holiday decorating. According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, hospital emergency rooms treat more than 12,000 people annually for injuries such as falls, cuts and shocks related to holiday lights, decorations and Christmas trees. Webb In addition, candles and Christmas trees are the cause of a multitude of fires resulting in injuries, deaths and millions of dollars in property loss. Rural/Metro encourages everyone to follow these safety tips: ■ Look for a label“Fire Resistant” on your artificial tree. This indicates the tree will resist burning and should extinguish easily if it catches fire. ■ Check for freshness for your live tree. Needles should be difficult to pull from branches and the trunk sticky with resin. ■ Keep your tree stand filled with water. A live tree can dry out quickly and easily ignite from an electrical short or an open flame. ■ Never leave burning candles unattended. Candles, fresh greens, pine cones and other decorations can be a disaster waiting to happen. ■ Check labels on lights outdoors. Check all lights, new and old, for broken or cracked sockets; frayed or bare wires; or loose connections. ■ Make sure ladders are placed securely on the ground and always have someone hold the ladder in place. ■ Plug outdoor electric decorations into an extension cord large enough to carry the intended load. Use surge protectors to prevent electrical damage. ■ Turn off holiday lights when away or asleep. The lights could short out and start a fire. The holidays are also a good time to make sure your family has a fire escape plan – and can safely execute it. Map out escape routes including alternate routes in case the others are blocked by fire. Establish at least two exits from each part of the house and include a place safely away from the house for your family to meet to make sure everyone got out OK.

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER
How to avoid packing on the pounds at holiday parties:
A survivor’s guide By Beth A. Booker Avoid diet disasters this holiday season by making healthy eating choices. Hospital Registered Dietitian Beth Booker helps you arm yourself with ways to have a tasty, terrific holiday. ■ Plan ahead. Planning is paramount during the holiday season. You will need courses of action: what to do when you’re offered foods you feel you shouldn’t eat; what to eat instead; and ways to enjoy the season that aren’t food-related. If you have a plan you won’t be caught off-guard. Make your plan real. Don’t just think about it, write it down. The more concrete it is, the more likely you will stick to it. ■ Practice mindful eating. When you sit to enjoy your meal or snack (yes, sit), take a moment to look at the food on your plate. Take a deep breath. Relax. Look at the colors. Think about the textures. Is there a food on your plate that reminds you of a special time or person in your past? Spend a little time before your pick up your fork. Your hips and your digestive tract will thank you. ■ Be a picky eater. We all have foods that we love and others that we may simply eat because they are there. Save your fat/calories/ carbs – whatever you’re watching – for your favorite foods only. Reserve your “budget” for foods that you feel you simply can’t get through the season without. Don’t feel guilty when you partake, but at the same time, don’t over indulge. Savor you favorite dessert or side dish, but not with wild abandon–portion size is crucial. If you’re going to eat something you consider “bad,” don’t berate Beth A. Booker, Fort Sanders Regional Medical yourself while you are Center Registered Dietitian/Nutritionist eating it, or after. It was a decision, own up to it, move on. ■ Don’t run on empty. ■ Go “veg” for a day.

Healthier holiday cooking made easy! One way to cut your calorie intake and beef up beneficial nutrients during the holiday season is to modify traditional recipes. Try to increase the nutrition available in your holiday favorites with these ideas: 1) If you’re making stuffing or dressing from scratch, replace 1/2 of the bread in the recipe with whole grain bread. Add some vegetables and a bit of softened dried fruit (apricots or apples are nice) to increase the volume of the stuffing while upping the nutritional display. 2) Make your mashed potatoes with sweet potatoes or 1/2 white and 1/2 sweet. You can add some ing holiday host or hostess? While the guests are mingling, pack up leftovers in portable “doggie bags” for them. If you get the leftovers out of the house, you can’t overeat them again later on. ■ If you booze it, you won’t lose it. Alcohol can be very fattening. Whether you’re sipping a glass of wine or having a frosty cold beer, those empty calories are going to add up! Drinking will not quell your appetite either. In fact, it may loosen your determination and cause you to binge on foods you might never have touched sober. If you do choose to imbibe, try making some switch-offs, like having a wine spritzer instead of a whole glass of wine. ■ Avoid second portions. Take modest portions of the foods you’re interested in eating and don’t make a second trip to the buffet. If you need to hold something after you’ve enjoyed your first helpings of holiday foods, hold a cup of tea, coffee or other non-alcoholic beverage. ■ Think of your plate as being divided into four quarters. Fill one quarter with lean protein, one quarter with something starchy, and about one half with fruits and non-starchy vegetables. This rule works well year-round at any meal.
applesauce to the sweet potatoes to increase the sweetness and cut the calories while adding a creamy consistency. 3) Stir some wheat germ or nuts into stuffing or sprinkle on top of casseroles to add nutrients and crunch. 4) Add some Grapenuts cereal to the pecan pie topping. You can also add cranberries to a pecan pie to cut the richness and add bright color. 5) Make your beverages count by adding cloudy apple juice, pomegranate or concord grape juice to the list of options. Add club soda to make a festive spritzer.
Stove-Top Rice Pudding Can rice pudding be both glamorous and healthy? Yes, it can. In this version, traditional rice pudding gets a boost of health from whole-grain brown rice and a lower fat content from use of evaporated skim milk instead of cream. The dose of glamour comes from the garnish of antioxidant-packed pomegranate arils and a shower of dark chocolate curls. You can have your dessert and eat it too! 1 1/2 cups cooked brown Basmati rice (or other brown rice of choice) 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 can (12 ounces) fat-free evaporated milk (not condensed sweetened milk) 1/2 cup skim or low-fat milk 4 large eggs 7 tablespoons sugar 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract 1/2 cup pomegranate arils (the tiny red fruits from inside the shell) 2 tablespoons dark chocolate shavings or curls In a medium saucepan, beat eggs and 1/2 cup milk together until well combined. Add sugar and evaporated milk. Stir to blend
Whole-grain brown rice and evaporated skim milk make this rice pudding a wholesome treat. well. Cook over low heat until mixture thickens and coats the back of a wooden spoon. Remove from stovetop and stir in nutmeg and vanilla. While pudding is cooking, heat rice in the microwave with butter until butter melts. If using freshly cooked brown rice, add butter to hot rice and let stand until melted. Stir buttered rice mixture into pudding. Let stand for 30 minutes to cool slightly. May be served warm or chilled. Garnish each serving with a few pomegranate arils and a few chocolate shavings. Serves 6-8

Dancing exercises body and mind Once the temperatures drop and the wind brings in a cold chill, staying inside in the warmth and comfort of home is tempting. Staying active is good for the mind and body, but exercising isn’t always a top priority. The Halls Senior Center offers line dancing classes every week that provide several benefits to participants. “This is great aerobic exercise,” said instructor Maggie Capps. Line dancing is not only fun, it also provides an environment perfect for building friendships. Mildred Garrison enjoys the class because it allows her to get together with friends and share a laugh or two while exercising. Wally Dye loves

to line dance not only for the physical exercise, but also because remembering steps and movements exercises his mind. Capps keeps the pace changing and teaches dances from a waltz to the popular Boot Scoot Boogie. The line dancing class meets at the Halls Senior Center at 10 a.m. every Thursday. The center also offers a Social Dance class at 2:15 p.m. on Mondays.

Meet Max The Young-Williams Animal Center team would like you to meet 2-year-old boxer mix Max. Boxers are known to be especially wonderful family dogs. They often get along great with children and are playful and fun. One thing they lack is much body fat. Boxers and other lean dogs are susceptible to cold, so sweaters and coats are a good idea for your boxer during walks and outside time. Do not overdo food and treats to try to bulk up your boxer. Instead, help them maintain their weight with a healthy diet and plenty of exercise. Should you give them ear muffs to keep the cold away? That is up to you, but your boxer will let you know what he thinks of that. Max is available for adoption at the main center at 3210 Division Street. Visitors are welcome noon to 6 p.m. seven day a week. The “new” center at Young-Williams Animal Village is also open daily from noon to 6 p.m. and is located at 6400 Kingston Pike.
