New boss talks straight about Central

Tom Brown stresses teamwork at Gibbs

By Sandra Clark Dr. Jody Goins wowed the crowd with straight talk about Central High School at last week’s meeting of the Fountain City Business and Professional Association. “I’m asking for something harder to give than money,” the new principal said. “We need your time to mentor and tutor children. … And then, after we’re successful, we need celebrations – a pizza party or a good meal for teachers. (pause) And that takes money.” By now the audience was in his pocket. More than anything else, the Fountain City business community wants Central High School students to achieve and excel. Many in the room were CHS grads themselves. They remember the motto “Pride and Tradition.” Goins has three goals at Central: Increase the graduation rate. “Every student has value, and now the minimum threshold for success is a high school diploma.” Central is trending up, now in the 88 to 89 percent range. Goins wants to get above 90 percent quickly and then push above 95 percent. Increase the AP offerings. Advanced Placement courses are more rigorous and research shows the kids who take AP classes, whether they pass the test for college credit or not, have a better

Dr. Jody Goins success rate in college. Central now has 11 AP classes, and Goins wants 20. Increase ACT scores. Central’s average is now 17-19; Goins wants students to score 21 or above. Again, it’s not just about the number. The ACT is a nationwide indicator of how well students have been prepared for college and/or the workforce. “Good things have been happening and continue to happen at Central High School,” he said. Just last spring, CHS graduates

Things have come full circle for Tom Brown. The longtime Holston Middle School principal, who was named principal at Gibbs High this year, is already familiar with much of the student body. “I absolutely adore these kids out here,” he says. “I had so many of them as middle schoolers. To see them now as 15, 16 or 17-yearolds and competing academically or athletically, that’s a lot of fun.” Brown says making the jump from middle school to high school was a bit of a learning curve. “But kids are kids. I may feel the learning curve but I don’t know that the rest of the school feels it. I have a different way of thinking in terms of how to lead change in schools.” He elaborates: “Education remained static for at least the last 50 years. And that wasn’t good because the kids have changed. We know so much more about how kids learn. Teaching needs to reflect that.” The school holds a one-hour session for teachers in groups of four each Thursday called Strategy. “We focus solely on instruction. Where I would like to see us go is to pay attention to each other through collaboration. If I

Gibbs High School principal Tom Brown have a great teacher, I want to put them on a pedestal. I want to use them as models. It worked very well at Holston Middle and I’d like to see that happen here.” He says the school’s biggest strength is community support. Weaknesses? “We’ve identified a couple of academic areas that need improvement, math being one. We’re taking corrective actions now.” Brown also wants to see a boost in the school’s Advanced Placement program. “AP courses have not been strong. I would like for us to of-

Hooked on fishing

■

Jake Sirowich has a whopper of a fishing tale to tell.

Jake Mabe MY TWO CENTS I know what you’re thinking and, no, he doesn’t have to exaggerate it. He’s got the pictures – and the goods – to prove it. Jake, 13, caught an 8-pound brown trout in the Clinch River on Sept. 25. You’re never gonna guess how he lured it in. “Chicken liver,” Jake says. “You cut it in half, put it on your hook and throw it out there. The trout smell it.” Jake got the idea from a fishing buddy. He was skep-

tical of the stinky stuff at first until his friend pulled in a 22-inch rainbow trout about an hour later using chicken liver as bait. Fishing first hooked Jake when he was 4. His dad, Tom, took him to a private pond. He caught a catfish and hasn’t looked back.

Eighth grader Blake Simpson has a reputation among his English teachers for being a good writer. He has written several short stories. He wrote this touching tribute to veterans, which was read by Whitney Jones at the gathering. “Do you know any veterans? If you do, then you should know that they are some of greatest people you will ever meet. Our veterans are people who have risked their lives for valiant causes all around the world, from the beaches of Normandy to the humid jungles of Vietnam. “These people come from all different walks of life and have different nationalities, and that is the beauty of America. It is astounding

that such a unique group, full of diversity and cultural differences, can unite to achieve a common goal: to protect and serve America. “Veterans come from all branches of the military: the Army, the Navy, the Coast Guard, the Air Force and the Marines. “The Army, our ground forces, who assault the enemy head-on, and face death itself with undying bravery for the sake of America. “The Navy, our nautical defenders, provides tactical support from the sea. They are tasked with vanquishing foes who approach from the water. “As we go about our lives, the Coast Guard is standing ready along U. S. waterlines for emergencies, protecting America. “The Air Force, our eye in the sky, which crushes any airborne threats and watches over America’s safety from the skies. “The last, but certainly not the least, branch is the Marines. “The Marines fight by land and sea, and endure rigorous and relentless training to become an elite sect of soldiers, excelling in even the most difficult com-

bat situations. “All branches play an equally important role, and anyone who served these groups deserves our utmost respect. This, however, is not the only reason veterans deserve our respect. “War is truly a terrible thing, and the experiences that come with it can be lifechanging. “Watching your friends being killed, and you being helpless to do anything about it can have a lasting mental effect, yet veterans still manage to persevere and fight through any hardship in order to preserve our freedom. “Veterans have unparalleled courage and bravery, and are willing to make sacrifices for our country, and this is why they are so great. “Veterans deserve every ounce of our respect, and I am so proud to have them here with us today.” Blake’s parents are Jana Miller and Kevin Simpson.

government Don’t count on politicians to change city election cycle City elections produced the usual record low participation leaving one wondering why bother? This is not a new development. Every city election when the mayor is not running sees another record low turnout. This time it was serious. Fewer than 10 percent of registered voters voted. Every incumbent was returned and three did not even have an opponent. One opponent did not campaign. Term limits have achieved the result of an 8-year term for council and the mayor. The same will happen to Knox County Commission and the county mayor too as time moves along. Term limits discourage challengers to incumbents seeking a second and final term. Every four years people comment on how the city election cycle ought to be shifted. It actually would save $250,000 if done concurrent with county or state elections in even-numbered years. The only people opposed are those who serve in office under the current system. In this case, all five winners are barred from seeking a third consecutive term on council. A couple may run for mayor in 2019. But memories fade and editorial writers are on to new topics. So do not expect a charter amendment being submitted to you the voter to allow a change. There is concern you might vote for it, and the unique city system would be ended by the vote in city elections for council actually reaching 20 or 25 percent of the total registered voters. The only way this will change is if voters start a petition to change the charter as they did on term limits. ■ Hadley Gamble: A few weeks ago when I was in London I had the pleasure of having lunch with native Knox countian Hadley Gamble, 32, who grew up in Halls and now broadcasts for CNBC news. We met at the Royal China Inn for a dim sum meal on Baker Street near historic Portman Square. She attended Brickey Elementary. She is a graduate of Halls High School in 1999 and the University of Miami in 2003 where she majored in history and journalism. She actually works now in the Middle East most of the time in Dubai and also covers Syria, Eqypt and Iran. Her parents are Jim and Betty Gamble. He owns Gamble Motor Company in LaFollette. Her aunt is the energetic and irrepressible Jane Chedester, who manages

Victor Ashe

Sen. Lamar Alexander’s Knoxville office at the Howard Baker Federal Building. Gamble’s knowledge of the Middle East and her accomplishments in working for Fox News (ABC’s Peter Jennings prior to joining CNBC) are truly impressive. It is great to see folks born and raised here in Knox County achieving such success in international broadcasting at such a young age. Her personal knowledge of so many leaders in several Middle Eastern nations rivaled longtime career diplomats. She would be a great speaker at the Howard Baker Center when she is in Knoxville visiting family. ■ James Buckley: A few weeks later I was in Lakeville, Conn., attending my 50th class reunion from Hotchkiss School, which my brother had attended along with well-known Knoxvillians Caesear Stair III, Caesar Stair IV and my daughter, Martha Ashe. During the weekend, I was lucky to have lunch with former New York Sen. James Buckley, 90, who lives in nearby Sharon. Buckley, younger brother of famous National Review editor and TV commentator Bill Buckley, has retired to the area where he grew up. Buckley was elected to the U.S. Senate from New York on the Conservative Party ticket in 1970, defeating both the Democratic and Republican nominees. He has also served as head of Radio Free Europe, as a federal appellate judge in the District of Columbia with Justice Scalia, and as an under-secretary of state. Buckley is the 6th oldest living former U.S. senator. He voiced strong support for the GOP nominating a governor or former governor to run for president in 2016. He mentioned Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin, Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush as persons worth watching. He worries that President Obama has weakened the U.S. in the conduct of foreign policy and Obamacare is a disaster waiting to become worse, although he felt the federal government shutdown was not the right way to oppose Obamacare. At 90 he appears like he is 70.

It’s not about the money If Bill Haslam, Jim McIntyre and Knox County school board members have heard what teachers are telling them, they know it’s not all about the money. Teachers have been slow to speak out, but it started with Halls Elementary School teacher Lauren Hopson, who addressed the school board in October about the pressures of endless cycles of student testing and teacher evaluation. Somebody put the speech online, and it went viral. This month, 300 of her colleagues wore red and backed her up at the November meeting. While everybody knows that Tennessee teachers are sadly underpaid, anybody who listened to them talk to the school board should have noticed that the wellbeing of their students – who, by some counts, lost up to 45 days of instruction

Betty Bean time last year being tested or being prepared to be tested – and their colleagues far outweighs financial concerns. Haslam responded to reports of teacher complaints by making it known that he intended to give them significant pay raises. In 2011, McIntyre and the school board asked County Commission for a huge tax increase to fund an ambitious budget proposal and got turned down flat. Teachers would have benefited financially, but they didn’t turn out to lobby for the budget. Three hundred teachers in the audience couldn’t have hurt McIntyre’s cause. A lot of people wondered why.

Maybe we should have asked. Last month, Hopson gave the board a big clue (if they were listening) why teachers might have been lukewarm about the superintendent’s bold proposal: “We are tired of money being wasted on programs that take away our creativity and professional judgment. Money being spent on coaches who often have less teaching experience than the teachers they coach, and money spent on pet projects that look good on the surface. I teach at one of the technology grant schools and I am really excited about the possibilities open to us. But I can tell you that an estimated $600,000 was spent to train us for two weeks this summer. “Strangely, we only spent about 12 of 60 hours on devices. We spent the rest of the time learning how to

have PLC meetings, three days on project-based learning and a whole day on learning theories we covered in college …. And believe it or not, one whole day figuring out what kind of penguin we were.” Glowing state and county test scores have sent Haslam and McIntyre on victory laps in recent days, and both are repeating their contentions that most teachers are fine with the way their schools are being run. Haslam conceded “pockets” of discontent. And the pay raises the governor promised? Well, state revenues are down and Education Commissioner Kevin Huffman hinted last week that teachers shouldn’t get their hopes up. Race to the Top funds are running out, and he wants to beef up teacher observations. Good thing teachers aren’t in it for the money.

Old City resurgence builds By Betty Bean Things are looking up in the Old City. Shaun Parrish, proprietor of Old City Java, can see it. All he has to do is look up the street to the north and see the ongoing work on the old White Lily Flour building and the prep work starting on the iconic Patrick Sullivan’s Saloon at the corner of Central and Jackson Avenues. His co-proprietor and wife, Meghan, sees it too when she comes in before dawn to start the morning baking. “It’s really exciting,” said Parrish, who is president of the Old City Neighborhood Association and has owned Old City Java for six years. “We’ve seen 20 to 30 percent growth in business. Meghan gets here early in the morning, and it used to be really sketchy here. Now, you get here early, 4 or 5 in the morning, and you see people out here jogging.”

The White Lily building is a David Dewhirst project and will house 42 residential units. Just southwest of the Old City on State Street, another downtown developer, architect Buzz Goss, has won approval for Marble Alley, an ambitious undertaking which will offer 240 apartment units, a parking garage and even a swimming pool. Right behind Java, buildings long occupied by John H. Daniel Custom Tailors at 120, 124 and 114 W. Jackson Avenue, plus two parking lots have been sold. The new owner has not yet been disclosed, but whatever is coming is expected to include a substantial residential component, as well. This means a lot of new feet on the Old City streets, which will, naturally, make Old City business owners very happy. Rick Emmett serves as a liaison between the city and downtown residents

and businesses, so he takes frequent walkabouts all over the city. He agrees with the Parrishes that the Old City, which saw its heyday Rick Emmett in the late 1980s and early 1990s, is on its way back. “There’s been a new energy there building over the last 4-5 years,” he said. “It is baby steps, but we’re getting there.” He points to small steps like the bicycle rack the city installed on Central in front of Java, and cleaning up the garbage pickup area in the alleyway there. And he also cites big projects like the Jackson Avenue Streetscape, which is in the design phase and will change the look of that thoroughfare. Much of the Old City’s

Old City Java owners Meghan and Shaun Parrish changes are credited to Radio Systems Corp CEO Randy Boyd, who owns Boyd’s Jig and Reel (formerly Manhattan’s) and Patrick Sullivan’s Saloon, and is the Parrishes’ landlord. “It’s been really good to have Randy around. He’s very humble and very concerned about the right things in regards to the neighborhood,” Shaun Parrish said.

Pointed observations about sagging Vols Primary observation after 83.3 percent of the Tennessee football season: I miscalculated. This restoration project is going to take longer than I thought.

Marvin West

■ The August outlook did not have Vanderbilt as the pivotal game of the season. I did not expect Michael Palardy to be player of the year. Several old Vols who saw entire practices warned me about offensive limitations and the lack of speed at linebacker. Hard to teach fleet-

ness afoot, they said. With infinite wisdom, I foresaw steady improvement on defense, crisp tackling, clearly defined assignments, smart organization. The defense just had to get better. The departure of Sal Sunseri was the winning edge. My bad. The defense is not better. By historical standards, it is embarrassing. ■ I thought Tennessee would lose decisively at Oregon. I had no idea the Ducks would score 59 and rack up 687 yards and roar up and down the field on eight consecutive drives. I believed Tennessee would upset somebody in the mid-section of the season – Florida, Georgia or South Carolina. Florida wasn’t very good. God saved Georgia. The Vols were fast

enough to get the Gamecocks. Amazing. Of course Tennessee would lose at Alabama. I did not expect a rout. It was 35-0 at halftime. Tennessee fans could go. Nick Saban made UA students stay. Butch Jones said: “That was probably the worst half we’ve played all year. Some of it was due to the quality of our opponent. Some of it was self-inflicted wounds.’’ The “easy does it” Tide with bleach started me wondering if Tennessee was making any genuine progress. The team was ruining all those catchy slogans about superb conditioning, brotherhood devotion and brick-by-brick building. The collapse is confusing. Missouri was no contest. Auburn took all the fun out of homecoming. Fifty-five

points! Oh my. ■ Regarding confusion, Tennessee did toughness drills the week between Missouri and Auburn. Did you notice a difference? Rajion Neal ran hard. The offensive line, impressive in warm-ups, promoted as the finest in the SEC, has been exposed as something less. It may not be the best in the state. We’ll see Saturday. ■ These Volunteers have created the possibility of eight losses. That would be a record. In 116 years of UT football, no team has ever lost eight. One more setback will mean a fourth consecutive losing season. That hasn’t happened since 1903-06. No matter how they finish, they have made memories. As of now, seniors can

RAM film premiere is Thursday By Jake Mabe Remote Area Medical and its founder Stan Brock are known worldwide for bringing medical aid to individuals far removed from it, logistically, financially or both. Brock, familiar to TV audiences for his work on “Wild Kingdom,” says he was inspired to found RAM in 1985, after being injured by wild horses as a teen in Guyana, South America. “The nearest doctor was 26 days away by foot,” he says. A new documentary film on the Knoxville-based nonprofit premieres 7 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 21, at the Tennessee Theatre. Admission to the screening is free. “We had nothing to do with (the film),” Brock says. “It’s shot from the patient’s point of view and is very

tastefully done. “You get to see what people like Chris do,” he says, pointing to medical director Dr. Chris Sawyer. “There’s nothing political about it. It’s about poverty in America, particularly in rural Appalachia.” The documentary was filmed at a RAM event at Bristol Motor Speedway two years ago. “People line up for 10 or 20 hours to get a ticket (to be seen by a doctor). People are camped out in the parking lot, sleeping in cars. It’s grim. And whether we’re in Los Angeles or Wise County, Va., or Knoxville, it’s the same. We hear the same complaints.” Sawyer, a prominent Knoxville physician, says the most important thing RAM does is provide optical and dental care.

“People who have lived with a sore tooth for a year or two and it’s throbbing. Most (dentists) want money up front, so most of these people wait for a RAM event. They’ll drive for hours just to get a tooth pulled.” Sawyer became involved with RAM in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in 2005. “I had been on missions in the Amazon six times, to Chile, to Brazil and after Katrina, my wife (Betty) said, ‘What are you going to do? You go and help all these people and you can’t help your own?’ In about five seconds, I knew who to call,” he said, pointing to Brock.

reflect on 6-24 against SEC competition. During Tiny Richardson and A.J. Johnson’s time, the record is 3-19. ■ Some of you were not paying attention a few weeks ago when I offered a preview of Maty Mauk, Missouri’s mobile quarterback. Some didn’t see what the big deal was (your very words). Three of you misspelled his first and last name. I don’t know what you thought about that 31-3 romp but I thought Mauk killed Tennessee dead. The Vols used that experience to make Auburn’s Nick Marshall appear much better. He ran 13 times for 214 yards and two touchdowns. One run was 62. He was unmolested on a 38yard sprint. Only the stadium wall stopped him short of the river. What shall we do about this quirky little problem of running quarterbacks?

I am reminded of 2009 when Ole Miss deployed scatback Dexter McCluster in the wildcat formation. He ripped the Vols for 282 yards. Monte Kiffin, posing as Tennessee defensive coordinator, had no idea how to stop it. He had never seen such foolishness in the NFL. The following Monday, Kiffin called college coaches across the country for suggestions. I hope Tennessee’s current coaches are calling somebody for help. While they are at it, they might seek kick-coverage concepts. ■ This is double stakes Saturday, winner take all for Vanderbilt. Commodores coach James Franklin, considered unbearable by some Tennessee fans, would probably parlay a victory into serious gloating about state supremacy. He’s the sort who might even use it in recruiting.

He says that internal studies show that 65-70 percent of patients attending a RAM medical event are there to see a dentist, followed closely by those who need to see an eye doctor. “And all of these people really need to see Chris. We try to persuade them to go see Dr. Chris and other physicians in the meantime while they are there and waiting for hours to see a dentist. Sometimes they discover they have serious, life-threatening problems.” Brock says the key to the organization’s success is volunteers like Sawyer. “The money we do raise goes to the logistical end, putting fuel in the trucks

and airplanes, buying dental chairs and having the vision setups. There’s a huge expense involved in running the organization.” Sawyer says volunteers know this upfront. “Everybody wants to go on missions until you bring up money. At RAM, you come in with an understanding that it’s up to you to get there. And it’s not for everybody, either. Some can turn out to be rough.” Sawyer views his involvement with RAM as a calling. “Why was I blessed to be born here? I have no clue, but I think you need to give it back. It’s a humbling experience. I feel like I have to go. “And don’t let Stan minimize his role. He gave up everything to devote his life to this.” For more info on RAM and the film premiere event, visit www.ramusa.org or call 579-1530.

On the road with

Don Bosch LAW DOGS | Betty Bean One day in 2007, Don Bosch had a revelation. A former collegiate athlete who arrived in Knoxville from St. Louis, Mo., in 1981 to attend UT on a swimming scholarship, he’d taken a 25-year break from competitive sports, finished law school, launched a successful career as a lawyer, started his own firm and been involved in some of the highest-profile criminal cases in the region. He had also packed more than 100 pounds onto his 6-foot-3 swimmer’s frame. “I had a watershed moment after climbing a flight of stairs and being miserable when I reached the top and deciding I didn’t want to live like that,” he said. “At age 45, I decided I wanted to get fit. Two years later, I found myself lined up at the start line of the Iron Man World Championship in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii – the greatest one-day endurance race in the world.” He pauses, remembers and smiles. “I’m in the Super Bowl two years later. It was the most meaningful thing I’ve ever done in athletics.” This summer, he was recruited to be on a national team for Race Across America (RAAM), a 3,000-mile, transcontinental bicycle race that starts in Oceanside, Calif., and ends in Annapolis, Md. It is billed as the most difficult race in the world. Bosch was one of eight members of Team Barrow, one member of which was on the road at all times. His

father, Ron, was on the crew that accompanied the team. “We’d ride seven miles at a time, hard as you can ride, 25 times a day,” Bosch said. “I rode about 500 miles personally, climbed the Rockies and the Appalachians, and I summited the highest point – 11,000 feet at Wolf Creek Pass” (in the San Juan Mountains, at the Continental Divide). It was his 50th birthday. In the time between his first Iron Man event and the RAAM, Bosch participated in races and triathlons in Europe, South America and China. Bosch says he had a very specific reason to go law school. “I was seeking one job and one job only – general

counsel for the St. Louis Cardinals baseball team. But I learned there was no such position, so I had to reevaluate. “I even wrote them that I’d come up and clerk for minimum wage and season tickets. They wrote me a very nice letter indicating they didn’t have a general counsel position, but stay in touch.” His first job as an attorney was with the firm Tipton, Eshbaugh and Simpson. He started his own firm in 1991, and is best known for his criminal defense work in high-profile cases like that of Criminal Court Judge Richard Baumgartner, Market Square impresario Scott West and enough UT athletes to field a pass-

able D-1 starting lineup in most any sport. He’s known as the only lawyer in Knoxville to “beat” the FBI in a bank robbery case (he represented the getaway driver in the 1990 case that ended with a dramatic shootout in Inskip, which left one police officer injured with gunshot wounds). Bosch has also represented many athletes in contract negotiations and is a television commentator with WBIR-TV, an art collector and a longtime player in the redevelopment of downtown Knoxville. “I got into building early. I got involved in real estate transactions here when everybody thought you were crazy to get involved.” He’s a music lover and a collector of art, mostly contemporary. An enormous black and white painting by glass sculptor Richard Jolley dominates the south wall of his Gay Street office building, a striking, 5,000-square-foot space featuring displays of sculpture, painting and photography. His personal office has stamped tin ceiling, an enormous custom-made desk, a working concrete fireplace and a massive skylight that during construction was rumored to be a rooftop hot tub. There’s a four-car garage in the basement. There’s even more art on display at his home in West Knoxville, where he has held too many political, civic and social events to count. One of his most notable parties came last year when he hosted a bon voyage party for the U.S. Olympic Swim Team – including Michael Phelps, Ryan Lochte and Missy Franklin – before they took off for the London games. Bosch has served on the Board of Directors of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, an adjunct professor at UT’s

Selected Don Bosch tweets from the road while participating in the world’s toughest bicycle race – Race Across America: June 15: It’s on! Team Barrow in 2nd place going into the Glass Elevator. Climbing boys are up!!!! (“The Glass Elevator” is a steep, 9-mile downhill ride into the Sonoran Desert.) The suffering begins! Yadi into IV fluids after massive climbing effort. Team Barrow in solid 2nd place, only behind world record guys on Allied Forces! June 16: Day two in the books. Night shift on the road. A lot of climbing... and one terrifying descent. Made it east of Flagstaff. More later! June 17: Morning riders up!!! Hello Colorado !!!!! The morning relief tags in for me! Screaming into Durango. Next up for Jory M Greenfield and me- the climb up Wolf Creek Passtime to visit the O2 tanks! And somehow I ended up w the summit. Yeah, it did hurt. June 18: Post day IV... tragically not filled with tequila. Probably a bad idea with 3+ days left.... (Note: picture of Bosch hooked up to IV fluids accompanies this.) Riding w Kyle Claffey. He and I climbed Mt. Yarnell together on day two, climbed w Jory M. Greenfield and Yati Yadav to nearly 11,000 feet through Wolf Creek Pass yesterday. He’s putting in College of Law, and on the Knoxville Bar Association Board of Governors, receiving its highest honor, the President’s Award, in 2001 for his work relating to juvenile justice issues. Having lived most of his adult life in the public eye and achieving an enviable level of personal and pro-

a yeoman’s effort on the hot flats of Kansas. One week ago he took a chemo treatment for brain cancer. He is being treated by Barrow Neuro. Get off your couch. Now. And please go to our ride team page (teambarrow. org) and please donate now! June 20: With the caveat that sports and endurance racing pales to real warfare, the phrases “fog of war” and “battlefield fatigue” have a clearer meaning today. Everyone needs a damn group hug it out right now.... Terrifying moment of the day: bombing down a country road in nowhere Indiana, 45-50 mph, aero bike, laying down, and catching a sign out of the corner of your eye that says “Bridge Closed”.... Starting at 6a tomorrow we are throwing the kitchen sink at this race. Going to run a 3 man rotation for a few hours then all hands from night crew will be back in by 1p til we finish! Going to try to run down the team in front of us. Two bags of IV fluids and recovery boots and we are ready to go! Into Maryland. Please let the climbing end! June 21: Pulling night rotations for first time ever – this just became the Tour du Ray Charles for me.... fessional success, is there something he’d like to do next? He doesn’t think long before answering: “Someone described me as an extroverted introvert. And some days I think I’m about 10 years away from wanting to sell snow cones at the beach.”

Old souls

Mary Bridges peruses the booth worked by Faithway Baptist member B.J. Julian.

Command the people of Israel to bring you pure oil of beaten olives for the lamp, that a light may be kept burning regularly. Aaron shall set it up in the tent of meeting, outside the curtain of the covenant, to burn from evening to morning before the Lord regularly; it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations. (Leviticus 24: 2-3 NRSV) Keep your lamps trimmed and burning; the time is drawing nigh. (“Keep Your Lamps,” Andre Thomas)

Wherever you stand, be the soul of that place. (Rumi, Persian mystic and poet, 1207-1273 A.D.)

Carolyn Wallace shops at Cross Roads Presbyterian with the help of church member Julie Brown and friend Sue Morton.

By Cindy Taylor You didn’t have to travel far to find a flurry of Christmas and gift shopping possibilities Nov. 2. And much of your spending went to support local and international missions. Beaver Dam Baptist Church had an overstock of books in its library and the public benefitted. Everything from children’s books to adult fiction could be snatched up for $1 or less. “We had this sale hoping that God would put these books in the hands of someone who needed them,” said librarian Vedra Riggs. Cross Roads Presbyterian Church held its annual fall bazaar sponsored by the Ruth Circle Women’s Bible Study Group. The event funds local and international missions for the year. The church also uses the income to subsidize the Halls Food Pantry and other charities. Shoppers could find Christmas ornaments, hand-knitted items and jams, jellies and condiments made by church members. Many items were available for personalizing by church member Julie Brown, and lunch was available for hungry browsers. Then it was on to Faithway Baptist Church, where a mix of the old, the new and the unusual drew crowds of bargain hunters. Handmade soaps, jewelry and sewn items fi lled the fellowship hall. House

I love to have a candle burning; it is one of the ways I pray. It doesn’t have to be large or ornate, although I have some lovely candles that have been given to me, some of which were handmade. The light from candles is soft and warm and kind (a special blessing since I just passed a birthday, one that did not end in zero, but still had significance – you figure it out!) I can’t remember where I ran across the quote from Rumi, but it stuck in my mind because of its deep and inscrutable meaning. How can one be the soul of a place (or a situation, or a process)? Then I began thinking of examples: people I have known who are so significant that they enrich us all. This does not have to do with intelligence, charm, education, attractiveness or age. It has to do with the candle that burns inside them, a light that offers warmth and wisdom and truth. “Old souls,” I have heard them called, and that may your call will be returned. ■ Knoxville Free Food Market, 4625 Mill Branch Lane, distributes free food 10 a.m.-noon each third Saturday.

be true. They are also beautiful souls, those people who change us forever, who give us a glimpse of a better way to live: a calmer, kinder, wiser, deeper path. You know them, too, if you stop and think. You may recognize them because when they speak, folks listen. When they stand up for something, others take a closer look at the issue. When they make a decision, it is made and you can count on it. I don’t know if one can become an old soul, or if one is born that way. I suspect that it is a process, and old souls are people who pay attention to life and learn from it, continuing to grow every day they breathe. I do know that I am grateful for those old souls I have encountered because they grace this planet like candles on a dark night. They share their light with us and make this world a better place. In some mysterious way, they also help our feeble flames grow a little stronger, burn a little steadier, last a little longer. If you know someone who is the soul of whatever place they happen to be, watch them, listen to them, learn from them, thank them and give thanks for them. They are lamps shining in a dark and desperate world, and we need them all. 566-1265. ■ New Hope Baptist Church Food Pantry distributes food boxes 5-6:30 p.m. each third Thursday. Info: 688-5330.

Shopper-News Presents Miracle Makers

Technology comes online at Corryton

First grader Raley Qualls works a math problem on an iPad.

By Jake Mabe Nearly a semester into Knox County School’s 1:1 technology pilot program, Corryton Elementary seems to be off to a running start. Zack Brewer, who is the school’s TPACK (Technology Pedagogy Content Knowledge) coach, says his is a brand new job. “Our role is to infuse technology with what teachers are teaching,” he says. “You hear a lot about personalized learning environment. If a student misses a day, they can watch a video or if they need re-teaching, they can watch another lesson.” “We also have an online course with the upper-grade students that teaches them technical ‘how-to’ courses – for example, how to use PowerPoint – to minimize the time the teacher has to teach PowerPoint.” Ray Wynn, the on-site computer technician, says he doesn’t let any challenges stand in his way. “I make sure the devices and technology are working properly,” he says. It’s gone really well. To see 1st and 2nd graders using iPads is awesome.” “This would not have gotten off without their support,” says principal Jamie Snyder. “It’s crucial to have (Ray) on site when teachers have problems. Zack, as our curriculum coach and TPACK coach, has two hard jobs. They are paving the way for what these positions feel like.” Corryton is one of 11 Knox County schools that received a technology grant last spring. Fourth and 5th grade students have 1:1 technology – a MacBook Pro

They can see their strengths and weaknesses as they go.” Fifth grader Luke Warwick, who helped the school secure the technology grant last spring, was busy with online research last week. “It’s been better,” he says of the technology. “We have way more op-

portunities to do work and way more sources to look off of as well.” Joshua Sullivan was researching trains. In about a minute, he had discovered how trains were invented. Wynn says seeing student progress is stunning. “They go from handwriting in the 1st grade to research in the 2nd grade,” he said. “Not every kid is going to be successful just reading a book. But when you see a kid enjoying education for the first time in their life, that’s what makes it so great.”

News from Scott Frith I-640 review: The road to recovery Frith opens law practice Forty years is a long time. Half a lifetime. A lot can changeâ&#x20AC;Ś On Tuesday, Nov. 12, Knoxvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s City Council passed a resolution urging the Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) to re-evaluate the functionality of the East Towne Area exit from I-640 (Exit 8). Forty years have passed and the road system has grown long in the tooth and, frankly, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bit confusing to motorists. Heck, experienced locals still moan about those crazy crossovers â&#x20AC;Ś or imagine two-way frontage roads. Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resolution requests the TDOT commissioner and planners to take a hard look at this entire interchange. Its design and condition are hindering visibility of and access to the many shops located on both sides of this exit. The resolution was unanimously adopted by the council. Recall that some 60,000 cars per day pass by this exit. There are over 100 businesses just over the berm that surrounds the interstate there. But they remain shrouded in the mist. Out-of-towners donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even know they are there, until itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too late to exit. In 40 years, those hillsides have become overgrown with scrub brush and trees, which hide that golden shopping opportunity from the view of passing motorists. Outta sight is outta mind. Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resolution informs TDOT that the existing business opportunity â&#x20AC;&#x153;would be enhanced by a second opportunity exit ramp at the other end of the Millertown Pike and Washington Pike exits.â&#x20AC;? Further, that improvement of the exits and related frontage roads may â&#x20AC;&#x153;result in higher traffic counts and, hopefully, increased business for the merchants at the East Towne area exits and surrounding area.â&#x20AC;? A thorough assessment of the dated features of the interchange would benefit those merchants and result in increased income to sustain businesses, as well as additional tax revenues for state and local governments. The resolution concludes that such a Modification and Review of an Existing Interchange Study might well result in â&#x20AC;&#x153;improved visibility, access and business for the area.â&#x20AC;? â&#x2013;

age road. What if the city and state combined to continue that people-friendly access down the length of the frontage road to Washington Pike? As the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efforts to clear away some of the overgrown brush along the northern frontage road (the North Mall Road) go forward, why not continue that people-friendly idea by adding a greenway trail along the eastern (or inboard) edge of that road? That would allow safe passage for joggers, cyclists and walkers as they travel to the restaurants and stores, or allow one to continue on to the Target center and other shops located along Washington Pike. Just imagine: pedestrians could travel safely alongside, but off of, a busy road as they shop or just get out for some healthy exercise. Once they reach Washington Pike, they are well on their way to yet another pleasurable destination â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the 43-acre New Harvest Park run by Knox County.

Scott Frith has opened a general practice of law at 535 Locust Street, Suite 101, near the downtown Y. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about a block from his home on Union Avenue, across from Peteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Restaurant, so we know he wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t starve. Frith is an old friend, dating back to his days as president of the senior class at Halls High School. Always a hard worker, Scott worked for Shopper-News and volunteered in numerous political campaigns. After a stint at UT, he joined his mom, Diane Frith, in real estate with Realty Executives Associates for 10 years. He became the youngest agent to earn more than $100,000 in commissions per year and was a consistent multimillion dollar producer. But Scottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s longtime interest in the law (he was a mock trial winner in high school) ignited when LMU opened the Duncan School of Law in downtown Knoxville. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m proud of the education I received at LMU,â&#x20AC;? he says, adding that the school was â&#x20AC;&#x153;shafted by politicsâ&#x20AC;? when the American Bar Association refused it accreditation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Eighty-one percent of our graduates passed the bar on the first attempt.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worked in the District Attorneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office, gaining experience in criminal justice while working with victims and witnesses and conducting preliminary hearings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We all make lawyer jokes and I know a few,â&#x20AC;? Scott says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;But like Justice (Gary) Wade says, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;In your moment of greatest need in your life, whom do you call? Your lawyer.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;We all have family members who get in trouble, we all need wills, and sometimes, regrettably, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a need for divorce or child custody disputes.

Fruitful Endeavor

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the time of year to be thankful and to give back, and students, faculty and staff at Pellissippi State Community Collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Magnolia Avenue Campus are doing just that. They will spend Nov. 25, the Monday before Thanksgiving, gifting fruit and holiday cards for the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s senior citizens and shut-ins in the second annual Fruitful Endeavor event. Fruitful Endeavor provides fresh fruit to those served by Mobile Meals. In preparation for the event, students, faculty and staff donate large bags of fruit throughout November, then repackage it into smaller bags for Mobile Meals to distribute. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a community service outreach event for everyone on campus to have the opportunity to give back to the greater community,â&#x20AC;? said Moira Connelly, an English faculty member.

Fruitful Endeavor is a Service-Learning project at the Magnolia Avenue Campus.

The class writes announcements, publicity fliers and a brochure available on the day of the event that explains what Mobile Meals does and the issue of hunger among senior citizens,â&#x20AC;? Connelly said. Students who participate in Fruitful Endeavor not only package fruit into gifts for Mobile Meals recipients, but they also create cards for the senior citizens.

Epilepsy Awareness Month

Epilepsy is a brief disruption of electrical activity in the brain – not a mental illness. Tennessee has the highest incidence of epilepsy in the United States – more than double the national average. Head injuries are the most common cause of epilepsy, resulting from sports or motor vehicle accidents. Epilepsy could happen years later after a head injury. One out of every 10 Americans will have a seizure at some point

Paula Ellis, public education coordinator, and Lynn Goad, executive director for Epilepsy Foundation of East Tennessee Photos by Nancy Whittaker in his or her lifetime. There are 30 different types of seizures. Lynn Goad, executive director of the Epilepsy Foundation of East Tennessee, says these facts about epilepsy surprise most people. For the past 13 years, she has worked to make people aware of the facts about epilepsy and help people once they have been diagnosed. Lynn says the main thing to remember is “people with seizures don’t want to be treated any differently.” Paula Ellis, public education coordinator, is involved with training people on what to do if someone is having a seizure. In 2012, more than 12,000 local people were trained. Members of the Knox County Sheriff’s Office and Police Cadet Academy as well as bus drivers, school nurses and church groups have all benefited from the foundation’s training. School children who may have questions

after a classmate has had a seizure are also included in the training program. Client services are available for people who have been diagnosed with epilepsy. Assistance with transportation, pharmaceuticals, neurologist and dental visits and support groups are some of the many services offered. Last year alone, the foundation gave out more than 4,000 bike helmets to help prevent head injuries. Info: www.efeasttn.org or 5224991. ■

Business Briefs

UT Research Foundation (UTRF), a notfor-profit organization, recorded an all-time high of 145 invention disclosures and filed a record 87 U.S. patent applications for the 2013 fiscal year. “We have been very active, reaching into all corners of the UT research community and encouraging our scientists

to disclose their inventions,” said UTRF president David Washburn. King University has joined the East Tennessee Economic Council, an organization of private businesses, government entities and other local economic development groups that use federal funding in science and security to promote development and explore growth opportunities within East Tennessee. East Tennessee Children’s Hospital has been awarded the 2013 Tennessee Nurses Association’s Outstanding Employer Award. “This award is important because it recognizes our more than 500 nurses and the passion for pediatric nursing that they bring to work each day. I am so proud of them and the excellent care they provide to our patients,” said Laura Barnes, vice president for patient care services and chief nursing officer.

As the redevelopment agency for Knoxville and Knox County, we are charged with looking at dec l i n i n g c om mu n ities and changing their trajecAlvin Nance tory to become revitalized, thriving neighborhoods. As we prepare for the next phase of revitalization in Five Points, KCDC has gathered together an expert master plan team, led by Johnson Architecture, to gather public input and develop a roadmap for the next phases of redevelopment. This past week, we released the results from our first public workshop to discuss the overall redevelopment plan for this community. More than 75 individuals who represent, reside or work in the community attended the September workshop at the Walter P. Taylor Boys and Girls Club to learn about market research about existing conditions in Five Points and to provide input in the process of developing the master plan for redeveloping the neighborhood. The workshop offered four interactive “visioning” exercises and the results of those exercises are posted on our Five Points Revitalization section of our website (http://www.kcdc.org). At the “My Vision” station, attendees were invited to write or depict on a sheet of paper their vision for Five

Points. Responses ranged from sketches of housing types to suggestions for new services and organizations. At “Change/No Change,” residents depicted on a large map of the neighborhood the specific areas that they wanted to keep the same and areas that needed improvement. Other stations asked for ways to connect the community, including green spaces, sidewalks, biking trails and public transit, and the issues and opportunities of the neighborhood. As with the HOPE VI project in Mechanicsville, our goal is to decrease the density of housing and replace those units with highquality, family-style and senior affordable housing. We have made strides toward breathing new life into the community with the demolition of 183 units of public housing and the addition of more than 125 new housing units in the Residences at Eastport and senior and family-style in-fill housing. Along with KCDC and HUD funds, the city of Knoxville has dedicated $8 million over 10 years to the revitalization of Five Points. We have set the date for our next workshop for the Five Points Master Plan on Thursday, Dec. 5, from 5:30-7:30 p.m. at the Walter P. Taylor Boys and Girls Club. Our process will include three public workshops and is expected to conclude in 2014. The master plan will take the community to a brighter future, and we ask for support through the process. Alvin Nance is the executive director of KCDC

NEWS FROM TEMPLE BAPTIST ACADEMY

Temple Baptist Academy students join U.S. Rep John Duncan Jr. and other dignitaries for the Veterans Appreciation Breakfast at UT Medical Center.

Temple students honor veterans November is a special time for Temple students to honor those who have kept America free and safe. One of the institutional objectives of Temple Academy’s overall program includes helping students develop socially by teaching patriotism and respect for authority. Reaching this objective includes placing an emphasis on good citizenship, praying for and honoring public servants and showing appreciation for those who have served in our armed forces.

On Nov. 9, Temple students had the privilege of joining a group of more than 150, comprised mainly of United States military veterans and their families, who gathered at the University of Tennessee Medical Center for a Veterans Appreciation Breakfast and ceremony in recognition of the veterans’ service. U.S. Rep. John J. Duncan Jr. joined Dr. O. Lee Wilson of University General Dentists in addressing guests and presiding over the event.

The Temple Academy elementary choir and high school vocal ensemble presented patriotic pieces. Students presented veterans with cards thanking them for their service to our country. The event concluded around the fountain outside the main entrance to UT Medical Center’s Heart Hospital. On Nov. 11, Temple Academy students attended the Knoxville Veterans Day Parade. Students sought out and thanked as many veterans as they could.

Recognize the signs of a stroke FAST! The early symptoms of stroke are often overlooked or ignored. If you suspect that you or a loved one is having a stroke, think FAST:

F – FACE: Look at your face. Is one side sagging? A – ARMS: Hold out your arms. Is one arm lower than the other or harder to hold in place? S – SPEECH: Is your speech slurred or garbled? T – TIME: Time is critical when trying to minimize the effects of stroke.

Call 911 and get to a hospital as quickly as possible. And be sure your hospital is a stroke-ready, Comprehensive Stroke Center, like Fort Sanders Regional.

Comprehensive stroke care at Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center As the leading rehabilitation center in East Tennessee, the Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center treats about 1,000 patients every year who are recovering from illnesses like cancer, orthopedic injuries and injuries to the spinal cord or brain. But among them all, about 80 percent of the center’s patients per year are there because of the effects of stroke. A stroke is a clot or bleed in the brain, robbing the brain of oxygen. Strokes are the fourth-leading cause of death in the United States and a leading cause of disability. “Patricia Neal is well known Wendy Callahan, PNRC Stroke for stroke rehabilitation,” said Program Coordinator Wendy Callahan, a speech Patricia Neal is located at therapist and the center’s stroke Fort Sanders Regional Medical program coordinator.

Center, which has state-of-theart capabilities for treating and preventing strokes. The hospital has been named a Comprehensive Stroke Center, a prestigious accreditation by The Joint Commission and the American Heart Association/ American Stroke Association. Few hospitals nationwide have received this recognition, and no other hospital in East Tennessee offers better comprehensive care from stroke diagnosis to discharge. “We have a complete continuum of care with Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center,” said Callahan. “Patients can come through the best hospital for stroke and then continue at the best center for rehabilitation.”

In addition to stroke care, Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center also treats cancer patients, people with amputations, those who have endured traumatic brain or spinal cord injuries, people with balance problems and even those with Parkinson’s disease. The center offers specialists in assistive technology for wheelchairs, communication, driving and even sports. “We treat all ages, from children to older adults,” said Callahan. But beyond the excellent medical therapy offered, Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center also pays attention to the emotional needs of patients as well. A team of psychologists and peer volunteers offer emotional

support, encouraging patients and their families. “Stroke and brain injuries change your life. It’s very hard,” said Callahan, herself a stroke survivor. “All of a sudden your ability to work and live has changed within a day. It can really bring you down, and it’s hard for family members too,” she said. “Our counselors and peer volunteers offer a light at the end of a tunnel,” Callahan added. “It’s a person that shows them that yes, you can work though this, and life goes on.”

Dental Answers Dr. Steven C. Crippen Question: “Is gum disease hereditary?” Answer: Research has confirmed that periodontal disease (gum disease) has at least a partial hereditary factor and some degree of familial tendency. Even so, periodontal disease is preventable with proper oral hygiene and regular professional care by one's dentist and dental hygienist. Those who have greater susceptibility to gum disease must be very diligent in using necessary oral hygiene methods at home in the manner demonstrated in the dental office. Although puffy and bleeding gums are often

symptoms of periodontal disease, some patients will have few symptoms while significant bone destruction is occurring below the surface of the gums. A fact that is surprising to many is that more adults in our population today suffer loss of teeth due to periodontal disease than to tooth decay. A visit to one's dentist for examination every six months is highly recommended. Questions for “Dental Answers” are welcomed and should be sent to our address at 7409 Temple Acres Drive, Knoxville, TN, 37938.

Carol’s Corner Local firefighters will give you the same reason over and over for choosing their profession: “I wanted to help people.” At Station #15 on Essary Road in Fountain City, the atmosphere is cozy and convivial. Jokes fly constantly. “Firefighters have a weird sense of humor,” says Jeff Nichols, who counts 14 years with the city of Knoxville. Three different shifts of men and women – the “blue,” “green” and “red” crews – spend 24 hours together every three days in very close quarters, so “there are a lot of practical jokes.” Photoshopped pic-

tures with outrageous captions decorate locker doors. Nicknames are tossed around: “Mr. Sexy” and “Too Tall.” Justin Ingle, whose father, grandfather and greatgrandfather all served in Knoxville, says, “I grew up in fire stations. We’d go on vacation, and the first thing my dad would do is take us to the nearest station. We’d have instant friends who would tell us all the best places to go in that city.” At their own homeaway-from-home, everyone pitches in to make things comfortable. Cooking duties are rotated, and “we pay for our own meals,” says Tracy May, a firefighter for 19 years. A lunchtime visit found 15-year veteran Greg Perrin frying up onions for meatloaf. For takeout, nearby restaurant Sam & Andy’s is the go-to eatery. They’ve all collaborated on purchases together, like the flat-screen TV in the recliner-filled living room (the city sprang for the chairs), and they’ve bought kitchenware at local Goodwill stores.

The “blue crew” in front of their fire truck: Kevin Spooner, Rick Buhl, Jeff Nichols, Justin Ingle, Tracy May and Luke Vandergriff medical,” says Steve Hall, a seven-year veteran. “This morning we had a lift assist for an elderly person. Then we took blood pressure readings for 4th graders at an elementary school. Only about 10 percent of our calls are for fires.” “And we get there so quickly that most of them don’t make the news,” adds 13-year veteran Jody Hudson. “When we catch fires in time, it doesn’t take us very long to put them out.” Seven-year veteran Jennifer Myers wishes East Tennesseans would make better health choices.

private, made so through the use of lockers and shelving units in one large, communal room. “Everyone has a space,” says 24-year veteran Kevin Spooner. “This is my own computer here, and my own desk.” The two senior members of each crew have private rooms with doors. Proud of their profession, these folks are eager tour guides, and I’m taken in to the garage. “This is the ladder truck,” says Rick Buhl. “The other truck carries water.” Buhl has 18 years of service. When asked about his best advice for the public, he unhesitatingly says, “Call 911 if you have a fire. Don’t try to put it out yourself!” A question about the movie “Backdraft” brings scoffs from both crews. “You don’t walk into a building and see fire,” says Luke Vandergriff, who has seven years to his credit. “It’s just black with smoke. You can’t see your hand in front of your face.” Damon Underwood, 25 years a firefighter, agrees. “If you do see the fire, it’s just a glow.” “Most of our calls are

Once in a lifetime Families celebrate Th Thanksgiving k i i and Hanukkah By Carol Zinavage In the kitchen at Strong Stock Farm off of Rutledge Pike on a recent Monday, the talk was all about the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday and its overlap with Hanukkah, the Jewish Festival of Lights. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the last time it happened was 125 years ago.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Internet said it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen again for 70,000 years.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I read that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be in 2070!â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well,â&#x20AC;? laughed Martha Kern Niceley as she bustled about, â&#x20AC;&#x153;we wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be here for the next one, whenever it is, so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re celebrating it now!â&#x20AC;? Niceley, her large family and several friends are going all-out for a big combined â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thanksgivukkahâ&#x20AC;? on Nov. 28. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all about the same things, these two holidays, arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t they?â&#x20AC;? she observed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thankfulness, miracles, love of family and tradition.â&#x20AC;? Her co-planner for the big day, sisterin-law Ellen Kern, concurs. Ellen, who is Jewish, married into Marthaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s big Presbyterian clan decades ago. She and her husband George â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Marthaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brother â&#x20AC;&#x201C; chose to raise their two children in Judaism, and the extended family had no problem with that. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The word â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Hanukkahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; means â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;dedica-

tion,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? said Ellen. She explained, â&#x20AC;&#x153;When the rebellious Jewish Maccabees successfully revolted against the religiously oppressive Syrians â&#x20AC;&#x201C; then known as the Seleucid Empire â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in the 2nd Century B.C., they wanted to rededicate their temple. But they only had enough oil to last for one day.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The miracle of Hanukkah is that the oil lasted â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and the lamps stayed lit â&#x20AC;&#x201C; for eight days.â&#x20AC;? The familiar nine-branched candelabra known as the menorah commemorates this miracle. On a table at the Niceley home, various Thanksgiving and Hanukkah decorations, artifacts and toys are gathered.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;See, hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the shamash,â&#x20AC;? Ellen said, pointing out the middle candle of the menorah, raised above the others. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Its purpose is to light the other candles.â&#x20AC;? She picked up a dreidel, the colorful four-sided top used by Jewish children during the holiday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Each side has a character from the Hebrew alphabet. You collect from the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;potâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; according to which character turns up after you spin.â&#x20AC;? The pot often consists of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hanukkah gelt,â&#x20AC;? foil-wrapped chocolate coins. Martha picked up two cookbooks â&#x20AC;&#x201C; one Jewish, one Southern â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and the two women headed back into the kitchen to plan their menu. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was thinking about making latkes ahead of time,â&#x20AC;? mused Ellen, speaking of the traditional fried potato pancakes, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think that will work. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to be hot out of the pan! Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re usually served with sour cream or applesauce â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll bring both.â&#x20AC;? She

Deck The Halls

with Bobby Todd Antiques & Upstairs obby B Brown and Todd Richesin invite you to shop their stores, Bobby Todd in Historic Downtown Sweetwater, and UPSTAIRS at 4514 Old Kingston Pike in Bearden, to discover two unique Christmas wonderlands. Both stores have been transformed in magical style and have everything you need to make this holiday season truly memorable with items to build your holiday family traditions.

Each year Bobby and Todd visualize their stores in a totally new way for the Christmas season and devise a theme to inspire their customers. This year, at Bobby Todd, the theme is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Home for the Holidays.â&#x20AC;? The store window sets the tone, complete with a welcoming front porch built inside the window. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Home for the Holidaysâ&#x20AC;? reflects the desire to be at home with family and friends during Christmas, as well as finding peace and being at home in your own heart. The theme continues inside the store with Bobby and Toddâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beautiful signature ribbons and garlands, in rich shades of red mixed with touches of black. At the Knoxville store, UPSTAIRS, the theme is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Natureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Winter

Blessings.â&#x20AC;? The theme was inspired by relaxing snowy days spent at home last year, enjoying the pure white snow, mixed with shades of lush green. Snowy flowers and lush green berries are mixed with green velvet and burlap ribbons to create this dramatic seasonal display. Both Bobby Todd and UPSTAIRS have a wide selection of whimsical and vintage inspired Christmas decorations, featuring Lori Mitchell, Shiny Brite, Bethany Lowe, Joe Spencer, and Cody Foster. Each of these artists has introduced new collections this year so you can continue to add to the previous yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offerings. There is a full assortment of items for your entertaining and gift giving needs as well. Holiday scented candles

from Aunt Sadies, Votivo, NEST, and Seda France; potpourri; guest and kitchen towels; placemats and napkins; scented soaps; and holiday CDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s are featured. Bobby Todd has an incredible assortment of winter scarves and hats, as well as jewelry from Silver Spoon Jewelry, Fornash, and We Dream In Color. UPSTAIRS offers a fantastic assortment of jewelry from New York designer Julie Vos, as well as beautiful pearl jewelry from Vincent Peach and vintage wearable art pieces by Mary James and Kari Beth. Join Bobby and Todd at both stores this season and see how their slogan â&#x20AC;&#x153;Making Spirits Brightâ&#x20AC;? rings true year after year.

made a note. Martha leafed through a cookbook. “I saw a recipe for sweet potato latkes somewhere – that might be good. George is going to smoke a turkey. And we’ll probably have some of our own grainfed beef.” She’ll depend on local purveyors for the rest of the menu. “In about a week, I’ll start looking around to see what’s in season.” She mentioned River Plains Farm in Jefferson County, Shelton Farms in Morristown, and Knoxville’s own Three Rivers Market as some of her favorite sources. Jewish dietary laws forbid the mixing of meat and dairy, but Martha had recently turned up an exception. “I read about Judith,” she exclaimed, speaking of a legendary Jewish widow who lived during the reign of Nebuchadnezzar. Judith outwitted a cruel general by sharing salty cheese with him; this caused him to drink too much wine. When he passed out, she killed him and saved her people. “Wow, you’ve really done your

homework!” laughed Ellen. The two added cheese to the menu and continued to share their knowledge of history and tradition, chatting animatedly as their list grew longer. Martha regrets that she was too late to get a “menurkey” – a turkey-shaped menorah – for the big day. “They’re a really hot item. Everywhere I’ve looked, they’re sold out.” But over in North Hills, Judith Rosenberg managed to score one. Rosenberg, who oversees marketing and development for the Girl Scouts in Knoxville, plans a small family gathering. She found her unusual menorah through an internet Kickstarter campaign launched by a New York family. Their 9-year-old son came up with the idea and the design. “I bought the menurkey and invested in the campaign because I think it’s really cool that the two holidays overlap, just once in our lifetimes. I love the energy and spirit that the overlap brings – the opportunity for community,

discussion and dialogue. Hanukkah is about religious freedom and being appreciative of our ability to ‘let our light shine bright.’ Thanksgiving is of course also about being appreciative of the freedoms we have, those we love and the chance to gather together. “The parallels are really interesting to me.” She’s looking at several recipes, including hush puppy latkes, which “combine my love of Jewish and South-

ern cooking!” She’s enjoyed seeing other “HanukkahThanksgiving fusion cuisine” recipes that her friends have posted online. Fried foods are popular during Hanukkah because of the significance of the oil. Rosenberg mentioned sufganiyot – fried jelly doughnuts. Someone has figured out how to stuff them with cranberry sauce. Voila! More fusion. Speaking of the combined holidays, she said, “It would almost be like if Easter and Memorial Day fell on the same day – a religious holiday and an American holiday, both very meaningful to people.” Martha, who’s excited that her blue and white china in traditional Hanukkah colors seems made for the day, would undoubtedly agree. “It’s always fun,” she said, “to do something new and different!”
