Halls Christmas Parade
brings good cheer
James Elwood “Coach” Pennington passed away Dec. 15, while awaiting a heart transplant. Pennington coached football and taught for 30 years at several area schools, including Halls High and Webb School of Knoxville. He is survived by his wife, Denise, who taught English and theatre at Halls High and Webb for many years; son and former NFL quarterback Chad Pennington and daughter Andrea Dubois and their families. Arrangements were pending at press time.

Internet gets faster in Halls, Farragut By Sandra Clark Farragut Mayor Ralph McGill echoed the sentiments of most community promoters. “TDS is putting in one gigabit (whatever that means) into Farragut (and Halls). “This is the highest Internet speed you can get, period. Having it here really makes a difference for businesses.” McGill was reacting to last week’s announcement from TDS Telecom that it is bringing “1Gig Internet” to parts of Halls and Farragut, where the company provides basic telephone service. The company’s announcement said Farragut and Halls residents will be among the first in Tennes-
see with access to 1Gig Internet service this year. “The launch of 1Gig service means area residents have access to the fastest Internet service in the nation,” said Matt Apps, manager of Internet Product Management and Development at TDS. “With 1Gig, anything our customers do on the Internet will be incredibly fast. From streaming movies or TV shows to working from home, the experience is ‘lagless’ and completely seamless.” The TDS press statement continues: The 1Gig service is about 100 times faster than the national average Internet speed of 10 megabits per second. With it, cus-
tomers can transfer HD movies in seconds and connect remotely to their office or telecommute seamlessly, even on multiple devices. (Writer’s note: I’m amazed that the guy in charge of this is named Apps.) According to Apps, 1 gigabit per second really opens up new possibilities for telecommuting, allowing people to enjoy the benefits of living in a smaller community while working for an employer based in a larger nearby city. The company says 1Gig service is available for immediate installation as part of a TDS TV bundle. TDS TV includes a ConnectedHome DVR (which links all TVs
together), more than 260 all-digital channels (including 100+ in HD), on-demand TV and movies, pay-per-view and on-the-go viewing options. Wireless set-top boxes are also available. Customers with 1Gig bundles will automatically receive Remote PC Support at no additional cost. This service includes unlimited technical support along with device setup assistance, computer cleanup, PC optimization and advanced Internet troubleshooting.

Midway on back burner; community remains watchful By Betty Bean This fall, the Knox County Development Corporation (TDC) loaded a bunch of county officials and business leaders onto a bus and took them on a tour of four of the county’s eight industrial/business parks. WestBridge, Hardin, Eastbridge and the Pellissippi Corporate Center were on the itinerary. Midway Road wasn’t. Nor was it included in an industrial land inventory conducted earlier in the year by TDC and the Knoxville Chamber, an odd omission in light of the nearly 20year battle that has been waged over the county-owned parcel at the Midway Road intersection of I-40. The Development Corporation has been desperately seeking a large parcel of developable land; residents of Thorn Grove and surrounding communities have fought to preserve the area’s rural character.
Chamber CEO Mike Edwards, a major player in the last round of negotiations (in 2010), said he’s no longer directly involved (the chamber has spun off TDC to become a stand-alone body) but said although Midway hasn’t been part of recent discussions, it’s now more developable because TVA has installed “a big, huge transfer station” on the parcel and KUB also has built a substation there. “We weren’t crazy about TVA wanting to flop its footprint on Midway, but it was an easement they’d owned for a long, long time. So now the utilities are out there, and I think a sewer system is in place, too.” Elaine Clark, president of the French Broad Preservation Association, is reluctant to talk about Midway (perhaps observing the old “don’t trouble trouble till trouble troubles you” admonition), except for expressing some skepti-
cism of Edwards’ claim about the availability of sewer for the park site, which she described as “a two-acre drip field.” She said she’d like to see the task force county Mayor Tim Burchett put together early in his first term under the leadership of former tourism head Gloria Ray resurrected. (The task force dissolved in 2012 when Ray was forced to resign as chief executive officer of the Sports and Tourism Corp.) “We were making real progress,” Clark said. “That’s something that should be revived.” Todd Napier, CEO of TDC, said there was no reason to include Midway on the bus tour, which they were trying to conduct in four hours. He said there’s really nothing to see on the parcel, which is now on the books as a $6.4 million investment, down from the original $10 million after the write-down of
the TVA acquisition. Midway is in County Commissioner Dave Wright’s Eighth District. He’s also on TDC board and was interviewed just hours after its December board meeting. He said he had “the latest, greatest, most breaking news” about what’s going on with Midway. “Nothing. “But it’s going to be something someday. We’ve got kids graduating every year from Carter (High School) and the Career Magnet Academy who’ll be looking for a job. I’d rather see them on the Midway Road exit as opposed to Hardin Valley.” Bill Emmert, longtime Thorn Grove resident whose back porch is a stone’s throw from the boundary of the proposed business park, said neighbors remain vigilant. “It’s as quiet as a mouse, but I’m sure they’re doing something,” he said. “We’re watching.” 2704 Mineral Springs Ave. Knoxville, TN 37917 Ph.

Heiskell seniors get in
Christmas spirit
By Ruth White Folks at the Heiskell Senior Center donned their most festive Christmas sweaters and gathered to share laughs and exchange gifts at the December meeting. To kick off the day, Janice White drew tickets for door prizes, and one lucky individual went home with a handmade door wreath and other great gifts. Following lunch complete with holiday favorites, the group drew numbers and held a gift swap. Janice White shows off one of the door prizes at the Heiskell Senior Center’s annual Christmas party.

Black and white talk
A white man and a black man, more than lunchcounter acquaintances, perhaps co-workers, were talking Tennessee football.
Marvin West
The white man said the Volunteers are mostly black. To be politically correct, he said African-Americans. The black man chuckled, disagreed gently and started listing white positions: the kickers, a receiver with promise, some offensive linemen and two quarterbacks. “And most of the coaches.” The white guy grinned and said something about trading in one or two for another Tommy Thigpen, zesty recruiter. I pretended not to hear such heresy, but both knew I had been listening since the first mention of Tennessee. The white man asked, pointedly, when was college foot-
ball integrated? He knew just enough about Lester McClain to be dangerous in this discussion. “Long before Lester,” said I. That was the introduction to William Henry Lewis, Amherst College, center, captain and class orator, 1891. This son of a preacher man went on to Harvard Law School and played some more football, which made him the first black athlete at two schools. After that, he coached at Harvard for 12 seasons. He racked up a 114–15–5 record because a lot of other teams didn’t know what they were doing. Walter Camp named Lewis to his all-time AllAmerica team as of 1900. This was the beginning of diversity. A personal friend, President Theodore Roosevelt, who just happened to be a Harvard alumnus, decided in 1903 that Lewis was the best man in America to serve as U.S. Assistant Attorney General. Critics tried to explain away the appoint-
ment by saying Lewis was “so light in color that only his intimate friends know him to be a negro.” The New York Times did not capitalize Negro in 1903. The memory of William Henry Lewis lives on. In 1980, the Virginia Sports Hall of Fame remembered that he grew up in Berkley and Portsmouth. Bingo, you’re in. In 2009, Lewis was elected to the College Football Hall of Fame. My audience was properly impressed. “So, you do know something,” said the white guy. I told them some of what I know about Lester McClain. The Nashville receiver was No. 2 in Doug Dickey’s integration plan, roommate for Albert Davis of Alcoa. The university chose not to admit Albert. Kentucky signed two black football players before Tennessee signed Lester, but he was first to play a significant role in the Southeastern Conference. He arrived in August
1967, 13 years after the Supreme Court’s Brown vs. Board of Education decision. I was out front at Gibbs Hall when his father and brother helped him move his belongings from the family car to the dorm. I said hello to him and goodbye to them. Lester remembers that when they drove away was the first time it hit him. He was the first black, the only black, in a strange, new world. “Lester McClain, what have you done?” He did great. He caught a pass from Bubba Wyche in the first UT game on artificial turf. Condredge Holloway, in “The Color Orange,” says everybody needs to know who Lester McClain is. “We all owe him a great deal of respect and honor because he went through a lot of adversity for us. After him, it became easier.” Lester made it look easy. He caught 70 passes. He scored 12 touchdowns. He won respect. He maintained dignity. He still does.

Time marches on, except when it sprints No sense in denying my innate charm any longer. In the past few months I’ve gained many friends, and the only thing that’s changed is the approach of my 65th birthday. It could be that air of wisdom that surrounds us elder statesmen, even though most of my new friends want to sell me something. But, heck, we all have to make a living, and if you can’t count on your friends to buy your product, who can you count on? Strangely, an inordinate number of my new pals work for, are affiliated with or tout insurance companies. All sell Medicare supplement plans, and they all want to make sure I choose a plan that’s right for me. I haven’t been treated to such consideration since my drill sergeant showed me the “right” way to align items in my foot locker. The grocery stores and drugstores have been my buddies for a while now, offering me regular senior discounts. Now if they would only offer me discounts on things I really need, like astronomically expensive prescription medications. I guess you shouldn’t expect too much, even from such thoughtful friends.

Reading on the Santa Train
For docents at the Farragut Folklife Museum, one of the most frequently asked questions – posed by both newcomers and longtime residents – is this: “Tell me something about the stately old home on the corner.” Of course, they are inquiring about the Avery Russell home at the intersection of Campbell Station Road and Kingston Pike. The original home was built in the Federalist style that was common on the frontier in the late 1700s. There has always been some question about when the home was built and who built it. It was first thought that Col. David Campbell, the co-founder of Campbell’s Station, built the home as early as 1810. Perhaps this misconception came from the fact that locally it was called “Campbelton,” prompting many to assume the Campbell family had built it. However, Col. Campbell sold the land and about 300 acres in 1823 to Samuel Martin, and it is now believed that Martin built the home sometime between 1823 and 1835. Unfortunately, deed transfers at the time did not disclose whether there was an improvement to the property that would indicate a structure. The Russell family purchased the home shortly before the Civil War, and six generations of the family lived there until it was purchased by the town of Farragut in 2012. We do know that Martin built an inn just east of the home on present-day Campbell Station Road. And we know that it was a popular staging area for settlers moving on to the Cumberland settlements and ultimately to Nashborough (Nashville). Sometimes as many as 60 families would gather there to be escorted through the wilderness by the Cumberland Guards, and we know that Martin was a member of the Guards. We now know that while the structure was not the actual Campbell Station Inn, it probably housed its guest overflow. Martin was a well-educated man, a bit unusual for the frontier at the time, and we know he owned an extensive library in the style of Thomas Jefferson. He was also a very close friend of Andrew Jackson, with whom he shared a common interest in fine racehorses. In fact, the two went into partnership to build a racetrack, probably located somewhere on present-day Concord Road. This was not a relationship that would seem likely, since the two men were at the opposite ends of the political spectrum. Perhaps the most interesting thing about the
Malcolm Shell
home is the colorful array of guests who stayed there. Among those were G.W. Featherstone, the famed British geologist; Andréa Michaux, the French botanist; and Louis Philippe, who would become King of France and rule from 1830 to 1848. One account is that Featherstone and his son had been working in the area and were quite dirty. As they approached the inn they saw President Jackson sitting in front of a window smoking a long-stem clay pipe. They were hesitant to approach the president in their untidy condition, but Jackson quickly commented, “Don’t worry son, your dirt will easily wash off, but if you were in politics, you might find it harder to wash away.” We also know that Featherstone had a confrontation with a man that night who was armed with two pistols and a dirk knife, and that he relieved the man of all his weapons and threw him out the door. Another colorful guest was Louis Philippe, the socalled “Citizen King,” who lived four years in Philadelphia during Napoleon’s reign, and during those four years toured the Southern states and spent four nights at the inn. It is reported that a trade envoy from Campbell’s Station visited France during Philippe’s reign, and when one of the members told the king where he was from, Philippe answered: “Ay, yes, Campbell’s Station. Do they still sleep four in a bed at the inn?” We can surmise that the inn must have been a “swinging place” because shortly after building it, Martin advertised in the Knoxville Gazette for 2,000 gallons of good whiskey in new kegs with each keg not to contain more than 36 gallons. He also advertised for coppersmiths, promising steady work with good pay. Of course, copper was used for tubing and vessels in distilling alcohol, so Martin probably planned to make his own whiskey. The town of Farragut’s intent is to restore the home to its original condition. When completed, visitors to “Campbelton,” who now can only drive by the structure and wonder about its history, will be able to take guided tours with knowledgeable docents in period dress. Reliving the stately old home’s colorful past, guests will walk in the footsteps of presidents and kings.

Five votes rule at school board Both law director and state AG opine
On Dec. 2, Tennessee Attorney General Herb Slattery shot a hole through the provision in Superintendent James McIntyre’s contract requiring six votes – a supermajority of the ninemember board of education – to fire him. Opinion 14-102 came in response to a question from Oak Ridge Sen. Randy McNally (who also represents a sliver of Knox County) asking whether such a contract provision can override state law, which calls for local school boards to conduct their business by a simple majority vote. The newly appointed Slattery, who previously served as Gov. Bill Haslam’s general counsel, said no. “A board of education may not, by contract, limit its statutory decision-making authority by requiring a supermajority vote to approve termination of a di-
Betty Bean rector of schools when the statute provides for termination by majority vote. The supermajority voting requirement is unenforceable.” In an interesting coincidence, school board member Doug Harris had asked Knox County Law Director Bud Armstrong to research this question: “Is a simple majority vote required for the Knox County Board of Education to transact business?” Armstrong’s memo, dated the same day as Slattery’s opinion, came to the same conclusion: “A majority of the board shall be required to conduct all business before it
in both regular and special called meetings … Thus the section of the policy, rule or contracted action would be superseded by statute and void by operation of law. It takes only five (5) votes for the Knox County Board of Education to implement any action.” Armstrong said he started working on the opinion after hearing the question of whether adding agenda items requires unanimous consent. “It turned out that this was ‘policy’ they’d come up with. I’d said that the legislature says, ‘Five votes, you can do anything; all business will be conducted by a majority.’ That didn’t fit their vision, and one board member asked for a written opinion. I finally got it done and sent it to Doug Harris on Tuesday,” Armstrong said. “Two days later, out of the
clear blue comes this attorney general’s opinion, and it was right on point. It takes five votes to terminate, and you cannot contract around it. You cannot create a policy or a contract to circumvent the majority vote requirement by saying it only takes five votes to hire and six to fire. The statute prevails.” Last December, during the heat of teacher complaints about McIntyre’s policies, the school board voted 8-1 to extend his contract by an additional year (until 2017), fanning the flames of discontent during an election year. By year’s end, the superintendent would see his majority whittled to 5-4. The county is contractually obligated to pay McIntyre his $220,800 annual salary plus benefits until its expiration date unless he resigns or is terminated for cause.
Pay boost for Welch
Jeff Welch, who will be interim director of the Metropolitan Planning Commission come Jan. 1, will receive an $11,000 pay raise for total salary of $110,000. He will receive a car allowance of $4,300, prorated on a monthly basis.
Victor Ashe
This pay was determined by Mayors Tim Burchett and Madeline Rogero, for whom Welch will work. Under the new MPC system, Welch reports to the two mayors. He presents issues to the MPC, but those commissioners do not hire or fire him. If you think that is weird, you are right. The full story on how the Legislature changed the system has not been written. Meanwhile, the MPC director search committee continues to meet in secret, with their next meeting set for Jan. 13 and led by Bill Lyons, deputy city mayor. Responses from applicants to date are dismal. Only four out of 30 applications meet basic requirements for the job. Many of the other applicants are clearly not qualified for the directorship. The process is directed largely by Lyons. ■ If you like to hike or walk, you would be amazed DOE chief of staff Kevin Knobloch recognizes Mayor Madeline Rogero for Knoxville’s designa- and pleased to learn about all the walks available tion as a Climate Action Champion.

DOE chief recognizes Knoxville’s bright energy future We’re not the biggest city in the region, or even the state. But Knoxville has developed a national reputation for being energy-savvy, and, according to Department of Energy chief of staff Kevin Knobloch, we’re uniquely positioned to attract energy business.
Wendy Smith
Knobloch was in town last week to speak at a workshop on financing options for advanced energy projects. He recognized Mayor Madeline Rogero for the city’s recent Climate Action Champion designation by the Obama administration. Knoxville received the award for its goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions to 20 percent below 2005 levels by 2020. The city already has reduced emissions from municipal operations by 13 percent and emissions from the community by 7.75 percent, Rogero said. “We’re on our way, but there’s still more to do.” Of the 16 communities chosen as the first round of Climate Action Champions, only two were from the Southeast: Knoxville and Broward County, Fla. She hopes other communities in the Southeast will compete, and win, in the future. Rogero credited Office of Sustainability director Erin Gill with seeing the big picture while working on the details.

However, more are available. This writer wrote the foreword to the book, and Will Skelton wrote the introduction. The number, variety and diverse locations of so many trails in an urban area are truly remarkable and part of what makes Knoxville an incredibly special place to live. This 163page guide will be the “go to” book for anyone wanting to walk, bike or hike in and around Knoxville. There should be one in every Knox County public library. It is no secret that as mayor, one of my proudest accomplishments was expanding the parks and greenways. I wanted a good-size park within an eight-minute drive of every city resident. I wanted greenways everywhere. My goal was to add three to four miles of greenways to the system every year for the 16 years I served as mayor. The success depended on having a mayor and council totally committed to making it happen. The pace at which the greenways were built by the city has slipped to less than one mile a year since I left office 11 years ago. Legacy Parks (which is not the city) has helped to fill the gap under the dynamic leadership of Carol Evans. Tennessee Clean Water Network has worked along Williams Creek, too, under the equally determined leadership of Renee Hoyos. The recent 34-cent Rogero property tax hike contains some money for greenways. However, the challenge for our mayor will be whether she turns her attention and focus on getting them built. She has less than a year left in this current term and only four more years after that if she is re-elected. I hope she makes this part of her legacy, too.

Serving is a privilege at Angelic Ministries By Wendy Smith On the first day of Angelic Ministries’ two-day Christmas Mall, the Harper family was ready to wrap gifts. Seven siblings were on standby with scissors and bows. The eighth, a freshman in college, was disappointed to miss her family’s Christmas tradition because of finals. “We get blessed more than we ever bless anyone,” says mom Angie Harper. This sentiment is echoed by Angelic Ministries’ founder Betsy Frazier, executive director Tony Earl and Latin minister Juanita Winters, who all agree that it’s a privilege to serve families in crisis. “It’s an honor to be the hands and feet of Jesus,” says Winters. The Christmas Mall is an especially festive time to serve. The entrance to the ministry, located in the former Merita Bread building at 1218 N. Central St., is lined with Christmas trees that shoppers can take The Harper children – home. A wall of wreaths, Avery, Daniel, Susanna, many of them created by Rebekah, Luke, Mary and Frazier, greets shoppers as Lydia (front) – work at Anthey enter the warehouse. gel Ministries’ Christmas Inside, there are new Mall every year. toys and decorative items that have been set aside throughout the year for the event.

The items are free, but clients can only come three times, and visits must be 90 days apart. “We can’t help anyone with everything, but we can help everyone with something,” Earl explains. When clients arrive, volunteers find their paperwork. Separate Bible studies for men and women are offered while they wait. “I don’t feel like we’re doing good unless we tell them why we’re doing it,” he says. Another component of the ministry is rehabilitation. Men, who are typically coming out of prison or off the streets, can participate in a yearlong program of mentoring while working in the warehouse. They punch a clock to earn angel bucks, which can be used to pay rent and utilities at group homes. The third component is a homeless ministry that provides a meal and a church service every Saturday. Church groups from several denominations sign up to provide food, worship music or a Christian message, or all three, to a group that ranges from 85 to 100. The recently renovated worship space is an inviting spot with tables, booths and a stage. The community volunteers generously, so the schedule is full through March. It’s a ministry of relationship rather than handouts. Volunteers get to know the clients, and walk and pray with them during their visits, Earl says. “We’ve all been there, at some time or place in life, so we can be empathetic. They need to be encouraged.”

A champagne announcement
If God loves me, why … ?
Then there appeared to him an angel of the Lord, standing at the right side of the altar of incense. When Zechariah saw him, he was terrified; and fear overwhelmed him. But the angel said to him, “Do not be afraid, Zechariah, for your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you will name him John. You will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth … (Luke 1: 11-14 NRSV) Odd, isn’t it, how frequently in the Bible a bit of news is delivered Cross Currents to an unsuspecting person by an angel? I noLynn tice how the recipient of Pitts said visitation is always frightened and how angels are often forced to begin their message with “Fear not.” Zechariah was in the sanctuary, offering incense. It was an honor to do so, a privilege bestowed on a priest by the drawing of lots. An angel came to Zechariah, starting the conversation with “Do not be afraid.” Yeah, right. Angels were impressive, apparently, and scary. The truth is, one never knows what an angel is going to ask one to do! Zechariah’s angel gave him good news: “Your wife will give you a son. You will have joy …” But Zechariah knew that his Elizabeth was past the age of childbearing, so he said (essentially), “Pffft!” (Just so you know, it is unwise to argue with an angel!) The angel took offense, retaliating with, essentially, “For that bit of disbelief and disrespect, you will be unable to speak until the child is born.” As I consider all this, I wonder how joy is different from happiness. Webster differentiates thusly: happiness is a state of well-being and contentment. Joy is great pleasure and delight. Sort of like the difference between water and champagne.
One of the most irrational thoughts we ever entertain is that maybe God just doesn’t love us. Usually, y, such thinking is brought htt on by acute bouts of sufffering, pain or heartache. e. While the issue of suffering g is complex, I believe the following illustration may help to secure our faith during difficult times. The story is told of an old farmer who won an allexpense-paid trip to New York City. On the day of his departure, a huge stretch limousine came to pick him up at his country home. This old farmer had never even seen a limo before, let alone ridden in one, and he’d never flown in an airplane before. Finally, he arrived at an elegant hotel where a bellhop took his luggage and began leading him to his room. As they went through a set of double doors, the bellhop noticed the farmer looked dissatisfied and asked if there was a problem. The farmer said, “Though I shouldn’t complain, I just imagined that my room would be larger than this, and I didn’t think I’d have to
share it with two other people (there were two people in the room when they entered). The bellhop looked at the old farmer and said, “Sir, your room is 65 stories up. This is just the elevator that takes us there.” The old farmer made the same mistake that many of us make: He confused his journey with his destination! Friends, God never promised heaven on earth. He promised heaven after earth. Don’t ever forget that we are pilgrims, traveling through this life on a journey to heaven. So while you’re still on earth and you’re called upon to suffer, don’t question God’s love for you. Traveling is often inconvenient and difficult. We’ll face hardship while we’re traveling, but oh, won’t the journey be worthwhile once we finally arrive at our destination? Give it some thought.

Best Christmas present ever! By Ruth White Just when things were beginning to look bleak, with Sterchi Elementary School principal Christine Boring wondering where she’d get the funds to help needy families at Christmas, in walked pastor Joel Dew. Dew and the family at The Church at Sterchi Hills hosted last month’s Turkeys for Sterchi, a 5K run through Sterchi Hills, to benefit the community. They wanted to give the money to someone, and that “someone” became the folks at Sterchi Elementary. The church likes to work in the community, and the
school has welcomed them with open arms. “This is truly an answered prayer for us,” said Boring. “We had some funding cut and had to ask community members for help at this time for some of the families in true need. We wanted to be able to help, too, and are beyond thrilled that this money is available for the school to purchase needed items.” The Church at Sterchi Hills, 904 Dry Gap Pike, is a satellite church of Second Baptist Church in Clinton. Worship service is held at 10:30 a.m. Sundays. Info: 281-8717.

Atilla the Hun (Patrick Gallagher), Teddy Roosevelt (Robin Williams), Larry Daley (Ben Stiller) and Ian McKellen plays the wizard Gandalf in “The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies.” Ahkmenrah (Rami Malek) react to an unexpected turn of events in “Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb.”
Sound familiar?
Sequels and remakes dominate By Betsy Pickle This week is the calm before the storm, with only three major films opening before next week’s Christmas deluge, and all of them with a familiar lineage. The weekend starts today with the official opening of “The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies.” Director Peter Jackson finally finishes the Middle-earth sojourn he started with “The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring” with the final entry in his “Hobbit” trilogy, based on the book by J.R.R. Tolkien. Dwarves, Elves and Men must decide whether to unite or be destroyed in this epic fantasy-adventure. Martin Freeman returns as the central character, Bilbo Baggins, with a cast that includes Ian McKellen, Richard Armitage, Evangeline Lilly, Luke Evans, Lee Pace, Benedict Cumberbatch, Bil-
ly Connolly, Cate Blanchett, Ian Holm, Christopher Lee, Hugo Weaving and Orlando Bloom. Oscar winner Jamie Foxx and Oscar nominee Quvenzhané Wallis (“Beasts of the Southern Wild”) star in “Annie,” the latest incarnation of the story about the little orphan who finds an unlikely home. This time, Annie is a foster kid living with a mean foster mom (Cameron Diaz) while waiting for her parents to return. A business tycoon (Foxx) with ambitions to become New York’s mayor takes Annie in to improve his image, but his plan doesn’t count on Annie’s own independence and resilience. The movie also stars Rose Byrne, Bobby Cannavale, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje and David Zayas. Will Gluck co-wrote the script and directed.
This week’s other film closes a couple of chapters. “Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb” is the final film for both Robin Williams and Mickey Rooney and is presumably the last entry in the “Night at the Museum” franchise. This time, the museum that comes alive after hours is seeing some strange things happening. The Tablet whose magic allows the past to live again is dying, and to find out how to save it, Larry (Ben Stiller) must travel with his son and his unlikely pals to the British Museum in London. Themes of father-son bonding and moving on come with the comedy this time. Shawn Levy directs a cast that also includes Owen Wilson, Dan Stevens, Ben Kingsley, Steve Coogan, Ricky Gervais, Rebel Wilson and Skyler Gisondo. Annie (Quvenzhané Wallis) and Stacks (Jamie Foxx) take Sandy for a walk in “Annie.”

Your Knoxville Symphoh t h b ny O Orchestra has been very busy lately.

By the time you read this, the KSO will have finished up two weekends of performances of “The Nutcracker” in collaboration with the Appalachian Ballet Company, one in Knoxville at the Civic Auditorium and the other in Maryville at the Clayton Center for the Arts. Also, string quartets from the orchestra have visited North City and Rogers Creek elementary schools in Athens, Tenn., and Cedar Bluff and Dogwood elementary schools here in town. And there have been holiday concerts at Lincoln Memorial University in Harrogate and First Baptist Church in Dandridge. Many seasonal favorites were performed, including Leroy Anderson’s popular “Sleigh Ride.” Principal trumpeter Phillip Chase Hawkins has played it countless times. And boy can he make that horse “neeeeeiiiiggghh” at the end! Here’s why: Seems that Phillip once played the piece in Kentucky – where they know how horses sound – and was taken down a peg by an audience member for his unrealistic whinny. When’s the last time you were told that your horse impression wasn’t very good? Those folks up there in Bluegrass Country are mighty particular. Chase did some woodshedding, and now his neigh is wellnigh perfect.

And you can hear it starting this Friday, when the KSO will present its Clayton Holiday Concerts at the Knoxville Civic Auditorium. It’s Maestro Lucas Richman’s last time on the podium during the holiday season here. “It has been my honor to be part of this beloved Knoxville tradition for the 12 years in which I have served as music director for the Knoxville Symphony,” he says. “As this will be the last time I’ll be leading the festivities in this capacity, we’ve made sure to include several selections that have become an important and meaningful part of this annual program, including Leroy Anderson’s ‘Christmas Festival Overture,’ my own ‘Hanukkah Festival Overture’ and our annual Christ-
mas sing-along.” Also joining in the fun are the Knoxville Choral Society, Go! Contemporary Dance Works, the Webb School Madrigal Singers, the Church Street United Methodist Treble Choir, the University of Tennessee Herald Trumpets and Santa Claus. As for the man in the red suit – well, I’ve spoken with a close pal of his. Baritone Kevin Richard Doherty will be taking part in this year’s KSO Holiday Concerts for the second time, and he has a lot to say about his friend, everyone’s favorite Jolly Old Elf. “Santa and I are old, old friends and I am thrilled to be working with him once again on the KSO Clayton Holiday Concerts,” says Doherty. “Santa’s a great
guy. Always laughing and telling jokes. He’s incredibly humble – you’d think that kind of celebrity would let the fame get to his head. But he’s just an ordinary guy. “It’s a blast to be working with the Knoxville Symphony,” he continues, “and I’m also honored to be a part of Lucas’ final Holiday Concert. Knoxville is losing a great conductor and a great guy. But I’m excited for him as he moves on to new things!” Doherty’s own pedigree includes performances with Knoxville, Asheville and Shreveport operas. He’s appeared with the KSO, the Symphony of the Mountains and Rapides Symphony Orchestra in Alexandria, La. He’s currently the host and producer of the Early Morning Concert, Saturdays and

French Market Crèperie The food at the French Market Crèperie, which now has two locations in Knoxville, is la nourriture délicieuse. The crèpes are the crème de la crème. Both the savory and sweet offerings are chef d’oeuvre. Throw in bon voyage, which I’m not ready to say yet, and you have the extent of my knowledge of French. Crèpes and I, however, go way back. I first met them in Atlanta at what became my favorite restaurant, The Magic Pan. Any trip to Atlanta included lunch or dinner at The Magic Pan.
Mystery Diner
I have eaten at both locations of French Market Crèperie – the one downtown at 526 S. Gay St. and the new one at 161 Brooklawn St. in Farragut – and they offer a touch of France in the décor and ambience. The food far outshines the setting, however. Go hungry, and plan
to eat from both the savory and the sweet menu. Don’t plan on a doggie bag, for two reasons: First, they don’t reheat well; and second, you won’t want to stop eating. For the main course savory crèpe, I chose the Goat Cheese with Walnuts in a buckwheat crèpe. The filling was delicious – creamy goat cheese with chopped walnuts mixed in and evenly folded into the crèpe. The French Fig Jam on the side topped off the flavors. The crèpe was light and soft in the middle, with just the right amount of crunchy on
the outer edges, and had a delicious flavor that made it more than just a vehicle to deliver the filling. For dessert, the choices are many. From the simple – Sugar and Butter Crèpes – to the classic – Crèpes Suzette with Grand Marnier Cognac, butter, sugar, caramel and whipped cream – to the simply sublime – Salted Caramel with imported French caramel with sea salt and butter on buckwheat. I chose the Blueberries with Lemon Curd, and they were melt-in-your-mouth
The Goat Cheese with Walnuts savory crêpes at French Market Crèperie are best when topped off with a side of fig jam. delicious. My friend, who had chosen the ham and cheese crèpe for the main course, went with Strawberries and Cream for dessert, which was good, but not lick-your-plate good like the blueberries. The restaurant has specials every day, and you can get omelets or sandwiches
on baguettes or croissants, but really, why? That’s like ordering a burger at Captain D’s. Try the crepes. You will be saying bon voyage to boring entrees in no time. That’s the end of my foray into the French language, but I’ll be back for more of the food.

Turkey Creek helps Mission of Hope By Sara Barrett
Bobbie Wyatt of Provision Health Partners gives Santa her Christmas wish list.
Caden Robinson waits for his chance to visit with Santa.
Provision welcomes families The Provision Center for Proton Therapy hosted a family holiday gathering Dec. 11. In the center’s spacious yet cozy lobby area, complete with fireplace and
Christmas tree, guests were treated to refreshments and performances by local choirs. Santa himself even paid a visit. – Shannon Carey
West Knoxville retailers and their customers helped distant neighbors in a big way this year. A check for $8,548.47 was presented to Mission of Hope’s executive director Emmette Thompson on behalf of the businesses and patrons of the Pinnacle at Turkey Creek. This is an increase of more than $2,000 from last year’s collection. Folks donated money during the Lights Up! tree lighting ceremony held Nov. 21, which coincided with the Mission of Hope’s holiday fundraising kickoff. Pinnacle marketing manager Kiley Fleenor said the nonprofit’s big blue barrels have also been available at Turkey Creek businesses for donations of toys and clothing. “Most of the shoppers here are lucky enough to have a bright Christmas,” said Fleenor. “It’s nice to stop and think of those less
fortunate during the holiday season.” Mission of Hope is a year-round Christian ministry delivering clothing, toys, food and school supplies to rural Appalachian
families. Thompson said toys and clothing are always needed, but right now there is a shortage of winter coats. “Because of the warm weather, coat sales are in the tank, so we’re experi-
encing a shortage of them as well,” he said. One generous patron donated $4,000 at this year’s event, which should buy a coat or two. Info: www.missionofhope.org.

Sylvia Cook, a senior resident at The Residences at Eastport, has been a lifelong advocate of neighborhood watch programs. As she Nance grew up in Chattanooga, her parents were always involved in the neighborhood’s watch program, and Cook has vol-
unteered at local police departments since she was a teenager. When Cook moved to KCDC’s newest premier property more than two years ago, she brought with her that passion for a neighborhood organization that would create solutions for community issues. Recently, The Residences at Eastport/Lee Williams Neighborhood Watch, which Cook led the effort in forming, held its first anniversary celebration at Dr. Lee L. Williams Senior Complex. “I decided I’m going to step out to do the things that can be done,” Cook said. “The Neighborhood Watch works with anyone having a problem and connects them with KCDC or the Knoxville Police Department to resolve it. We’ve cleared a lot of problems in the past year.”
Cook said the neighborhood watch started with just a few members from The Residences at Eastport. The group has grown and now includes members Sylvia Cook from its adjacent property for senior citizens, Dr. Lee L. Williams Senior Complex. “It’s not always easy talking to someone, especially for the seniors,” Cook said. “It’s less intimidating talking to your neighbors in the watch program.” Cook said the members who attend the neighborhood watch sessions are very dedicated. A core group of approximately eight or nine individuals attends almost every meeting. Dar-
lene Bunch won an award at the anniversary celebration for perfect attendance. KCDC senior asset manager Beth Bacon and a KPD representative regularly attend meetings. In addition to discussing community issues, the group also provides neighborhood-building activities, such as computer training, exercise classes, fire safety and Social Security information. “I think we are doing a lot of good in our neighborhood, and it’s going to be even better in the coming year,” Cook said. “People have said, ‘You are our voice.’ I just try to help with the things I can and tell them where they can get help.” Being a Chattanooga native as well, I must say I’m very proud of my “home girl.”

For businesspeople who often spend the workday zipping from crisis to crisis, from decision to decision, last week’s North Knoxville Rotary Club meeting brought respite. Dr. Yulan Washburn, UT professor emeritus in modern foreign languages and literature, raised questions of eternity, suffering and failure, centered on the life of Dutch artist Vincent van Gogh. Washburn brought a multimedia presentation sprinkled with artwork by van Gogh on a screen and, at one point, the music of Don McLean, “Starry, Starry Night.� “You may know this as ‘American Pie,’ � he joked. “McLean said the painting wrote the song.� Washburn is compiling a website called Portraits of Eternity, which will include his research on van Gogh along with reflections on other artists. “Vince,� as Washburn called him, was fired from his job and flunked out of seminary. He was unsuccessful at love. “When ‘Trudy’ said, ‘No, no, no,’ Vince said
she’ll come around,� he said. S h e didn’t. “ H e would never succeed at family Dr. Washburn life. He was grumpy and would not compromise. At 27 he was a failure, and he had only 10 more years to live.� Although his works are now the most coveted and expensive in the art world, Washburn said, Vince never achieved financial success. He painted some 900 canvases and another 1,100 charcoals but sold only one during his lifetime. Upon his death, his mother tossed much of his work into the trash. But in 1990, one work sold for $83 million, another for $50 million. This is a wonderful presentation and Dr. Washburn is available to speak to other groups. His contact info is: 865-691-0080 or yulan@UTK.edu. Thanks to Phil Nordstrom, pastor of Life Church in Fountain City and a Rotarian, for inviting him.

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER
Morristown woman turns back the clock after a decade of pain For several years, the pain in Ada Woods’ back had been getting more and more intense. “I’ve been having problems with my back since 2004,” said Woods, 71, of Morristown. “I tried (steroid) shots and everything, but it wasn’t helping it. I was getting so I couldn’t hardly walk.” Through a nurse in her general practitioner’s office, Woods heard about the Fort Sanders Center for Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery and Dr. Barrett Brown, a neurosurgeon there. Brown diagnosed Woods with spondylolisthesis, a condition in which one bone in the vertebra slides forward over the bone below it. This in turn causes a narrowing of the spinal column, pain, numbness and weakness, in one or both le gs. “My pain, it would move all over my back sometimes,” said Woods. “Dr. Brown said I had arthritis in my back, too, and he said the bones at the bottom of my spine were slipping back and forth.” The only permanent solution for spondyliothesis is to fuse – or bond – the two slipping bones together so they cannot move. Called spinal fusion surgery, this is not rare by any means, but is less common than other types of surgeries. Woods underwent surgery Oct. 23, 2014, and stayed at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center for three nights.
Dr. Barrett Brown performs a spinal fusion at the Center for Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center.
Using four small incisions, Brown removed the degenerative portions of bone and disks, repositioned the vertebrae and stabilized them with graft material. Everything is held together by screws placed at the level above and below the slip and con-
Back and Leg Pain Neck and Arm Pain
NEW RELIEF Fort Sanders Center for Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery
Back pain, leg pain, neck pain, arm pain… the root of the problem is often a pinched spinal nerve. The good news is that now Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center’s physicians use state-of-the-art minimally invasive techniques to perform spine surgery. Compared with traditional open surgery, minimally invasive surgeries offer patients many advantages, including a smaller incision, less postoperative pain, faster recovery and improved outcome. Non-surgical treatments such as physical therapy and medication should always be tried first. If those don’t help, surgery may be the best option.
Fort Sanders Center for Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery Not every one is a candidate for minimally invasive approach to spine surgery. To learn more about minimally invasive spine surgery, please call 541-2835 or visit fsregional.com/ minimallyinvasive.

A closer look at spondyliothesis and lumbar fusion Spondyliothesis is a condition in which the bones of the spine slip out of place. If the bones slip far enough they can compress the spinal nerves, causing pain and weakness in the back, sometimes radiating down the legs. While physical therapy and medication can help, typically only surgery can permanently correct At Barrett Brown, MD spondyliothesis. the Fort Sanders Center for Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery, spinal fusion can be performed with small incisions and a procedure called minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion, or TLIF. “Minimally invasive techniques are generally less traumatic and better tolerated than open procedures,” said Dr. Barrett

nected by rods on the sides. After surgery, the stability in Woods’ vertebrae has stopped the pain almost completely, although Woods said she is still working to regain the strength in her back. “Everything is doing good. I have some pain in my left leg sometimes, especially if I turn on my side,” she said. “Dr. Brown told me to walk, that would help my back more than anything. So far I’ve been walking, but I’m just weak in my back.” Woods said she’s relieved to have done the procedure at Fort Sanders and hopes to recover her strength soon. “It was good care,” she said. “I’m not using a walker or anything and no pain medicine anymore. I drove a little the other day. My back feels better, but I know it’s going to take a while. I always like to work in the yard, and I’d like to do that again this year.”
Brown, a neurosurgeon with Fort Sanders. “Minimally invasive TLIF involves a couple of small incisions, less than one inch, on either side of the spine. The patient is typically in the hospital a day or two,” said Brown. “Both our equipment and techniques are specialized. We use the Medtronic Stealth Surgical Navigation System, with a reference frame we can dock on the spine,” said Brown. The navigation system lets the surgeon track the surgical instruments in relation to the patient’s anatomy in real-time, allowing the surgeon to decompress the nerves, place screws and interbody graft through the small incisions. “The main goal is to improve leg symptoms so patients can return to their previous lifestyle,” said Brown.

Former PE teacher scores when bucket-list wish comes true By Betsy Pickle Nancy Ackerman has checked an item off her bucket list that she never expected to experience. Ackerman, who lives at Morning Pointe of Lenoir City, had – like other residents – made a bucket list at the behest of Lori Zepeda, the assisted-living facility’s life-enrichment director. One of Ackerman’s dreams was to attend a University of Tennessee women’s basketball game. “I’m really new at being a fan,” she admits, but she had started following the team by listening to games on the radio. Ackerman didn’t really expect Zepeda to get her to a game. She’s confined to a wheelchair, and she thought it would be too much of a hassle and an expense. “I was thrilled when she said, ‘Save Friday night. Wear something orange.’ I
guessed what it was.” On a wall of her apartment, Ackerman has created a shrine to her big night with autographed posters and tickets from the game. She also received a T-shirt and shaker. She beams as she recalls the recent excursion. Jenny Brown of UT’s Athletic Department, along with Morning Pointe executive director Patrick Finn, met her and Zepeda at Thompson-Boling Arena and gave them the royal treatment. “Everyone was helping us park the bus and get in where we could have a wheelchair,” says Ackerman, who ended up on the floor, courtside, near a goal. The crowning moment came when UT beat Pennsylvania 97-52. Growing up in New Jersey, Nancy Ackerman enjoyed being active, but she didn’t play sports.
live in Lenoir City, and her sister lives in Maryville. “My family has lived here a long time,” she says. “I’ve been here every Christmas for years; I missed one because of the weather.” There finally came a point when she could no longer live on her own in Chicago. “I fell so many times, my brother said, ‘I’m not coming up here anymore.’” She moved to Knoxville, first doing rehab at Shannondale and then moving into the complex’s assisted-living facility. After her brother discovered Morning Pointe, she moved there in summer 2012. Her apartment looks out into nothing but trees. “I chose this room for the woods,” she says. “I was a camp counselor who always was the person who took people on hikes. I was the hiker. So I choose the woods whenever I can.”
cuted a plan to save the six sawtooth oaks on Market Square The Urban Forestry Division ensures proper planting and maintenance of public trees. It is responsible for more than 20,000 public trees in maintained areas and hundreds of thousands of other trees in natural areas and along city rights-of-way. Krouse has been working to simplify and revise the city’s tree policies. He expects to present a final document to City Council in January. He floated the concept of having a local tree foundation to support the work of the Tree Board and the Urban Forestry Division. “If you … look at those cities that have really reputable urban forestry pro-
grams, a lot of them have a not-for-profit or tree foundation that sits at their side that really tries to push tree planting or tree preservation in and around the city,” he said. Krouse said a tree foundation could facilitate education programs and planting on private property. A group called Climate Knoxville has approached Krouse about the possibility of forming a tree foundation. Representatives Louise Gorenflo and Joanne Logan attended the Tree Board meeting to introduce the collective of nonprofits, churches and businesses that are concerned about climate change. Gorenflo said Climate Knoxville was interested in doing work on urban-forestry policy, “recognizing that a
vibrant urban canopy is vital to moderating the climate of urban areas, in terms of extreme weather.” A tree foundation exploratory meeting is tentatively set for 1 p.m. Jan. 28 at Ijams. Tom Simpson, East Tennessee Regional Urban Forester for the Department of Agriculture, Division of Forestry, offered a giftgiving tip. The Tennessee Urban Forestry Council has published a hardcover coffee-table book called “Trees of Tennessee.” The 128-page book contains more than 150 images of 68 notable, champion, landmark, historic and heritage trees along with facts, legends and tales of the trees. The $40 price includes sales tax; shipping is free. Info: www.tufc.com/.
Nancy Ackerman and Lori Zepeda enjoy watching the University of Tennessee women’s basketball team play. Photo submitted “We didn’t have that,” says Ackerman, who graduated from high school in 1948. “Women’s basketball is relatively new. Things were totally different. You couldn’t run full court. You could only run within the half court you were in. And
Trees by the numbers By Betsy Pickle The city of Knoxville’s urban forester, Kasey Krouse, held the floor for the lion’s share of the December Tree Board meeting. Reporting on the activities of the Urban Forestry Division in 2014 during the meeting at Ijams Nature Center, Krouse shared some impressive numbers. As of mid-November, Urban Forestry had: ■ Removed 726 trees – 381 high-risk tree removals and 345 trees downed by storms ■ Pruned 1,407 trees and picked up 1.5 million pounds of brush ■ Planted more than
girls didn’t have teams.” After graduating from Trenton State College, Ackerman became a physical education teacher. Seven years in, she decided to change professions. She went to Boston University and became a physical
therapist, later teaching the subject at the University of Pennsylvania for five years. She was offered a job in Chicago as a consultant in physical therapy. “Turned out it was broader than that,” she says of the position at the national Easter Seals headquarters. She stayed for 10 years. “After that, I tended to do two- and three-year grants, all in the field of health,” she says. Ackerman retired in 1992, but she always stayed busy. She faithfully attended symphony concerts and theater, and she loved travel. “I’ve been to Holland a couple of times, Mexico many times, Ireland, Alaska.” She collected antique furniture for her high-rise condo on Lake Michigan, and she painted. She also visited East Tennessee frequently. Her brother and sister-in-law
