Pickle’s picks “It’s only opinion, after all, so there’s no right or wrong. ... And since the end of the year is always a good time to reflect, it makes sense to play the game. “2015 was a satisfying movie year because there were great blockbusters and amazing indies. It was a good mix. And while that makes the applesand-oranges quality of Top 10 lists dizzying, it’s also the perfect entry point for debate. So let’s begin:� Movie critic Betsy Pickle’s Top Ten movies of 2015, exclusively in today’s Shopper News.

Gibbs High remembers Tommy Everette By Ruth White Gibbs High paused to remember former basketball coach and teacher Tommy Everette during halftime of the Gibbs/Karns game. Everette was a standout player at Gibbs from 1963-1966, being the all-time Everette scorer, named to the all-KIL, all-State and all-East Tennessee teams in high school. Everette went on to play at Carson-Newman where he was an all-American and all-Conference player. When the NBA came call-

2015 Person of the Year: Zenobia Dobson By Betty Bean I’d never heard of Zenobia Dobson until Dec. 17. And because media from all over the country has besieged her since the night her youngest son Zaevion was shot to death defending his friends from a pack of murderous shooters, I have neither met nor spoken with her. But in speaking with Zaevion’s friends, teachers, coaches and mentors, I’ve learned this: nobody is surprised that Zenobia Dobson’s son acted heroically. The stories I’ve heard – coupled with Zaevion’s display of instinctive courage and character when he shielded those girls from a torrent of bullets aimed at a group of innocent kids on a porch in Lonsdale– all point to the influence of the woman who raised him. And that’s why Zenobia Dobson (known to her many friends as “Tinkerbell�) is my 2015 Person of the Year. “Zenobia is very present, very consistent, very strong – just a great mother,� said Rick Staples,

ing, Everette chose to return home to teach and coach at Gibbs High. He touched the lives of many students who passed through Gibbs High, and he was one of the youngest high school principals in the county when he was sent to Karns High by then-Superintendent Mildred E. Doyle. Both teams recognized the great impact Everette made on their communities as the administrators at Gibbs High retired Everette’s No. 44 jersey and presented a framed jersey to Everette’s widow, Carolyn, and their daughter, Kristy. Son Brian was out of town for the event but, thanks to techCarolyn Everette and daughter Kristy Everette show the jersey that was re- nology, was able to witness the ceremony via FaceTime. tired in memory of Tommy Everette.

Zack Dobson, mom Zenobia Dobson, Zaevion and Markastin. coordinator of the mentorship program with 100 Black Men of Greater Knoxville, a group that works with young men from ages 8 to 18, helping them develop life skills by introducing them to businesses, job training and plugging them into resources. “Zenobia is always there.� Fulton High School social studies teacher Jonathan Egert, who taught Zaevion when he was a freshman, said it was his mother’s selfless guidance that made him who he was: “Zaevion was led to that mo-

ment. Everything he’d ever done – his education, his athletics, his extracurricular activities – prepared him for that moment. So when I heard the news, it was not surprising. I heard someone say, ‘It’s because he was raised that way,’ and I absolutely agree. His actions are a result of his mother raising him the absolute correct way.� Egert described Zaevion as “very clean cut and mannerly. When you think about the lead character in a movie for teens, that’s Zaevion. He’s that all around guy that everybody loves – a good

decision maker, good at expressing his thoughts and following instructions, just very bright and focused.� Zenobia Dobson kept a close watch on her boys. Not only did she show up for athletic events, but she was also there for parent conferences and open houses and when she suspected something might be amiss. Egert summed it up nicely: “When something involved her kids, Ms. Dobson would be there in a heartbeat. If you had an incident at the end of the day with one of her kids and you talked to her about the next day, she’d ask you what took you so long. If every kid had a parent like that, our community would be a much better place. Our principals told me she was one of four parents who came to those deadly dull TNReady meetings, out of the whole school of 900 students. She deserves the credit for making Zaevion into a man of such high character.� And that is why Zenobia Dobson is my Person of the Year.

Robertsons ‘make a list’ Dr. Jim and Judy Robertson have been making a Christmas list and checking it much more than twice for more than 30 years. Judy saw a need many years ago. She was instrumental in starting a ministry at her home church, Sharon Baptist, through what was then called the Women’s Missionary Union (WMU); now known as Baptist Women. At the time her husband, the Rev. Jim Robertson, was pastor. Jim retired as pastor at Sharon after 35 years and Judy is retired from Gibbs High School. Life today keeps them busier than ever – especially during the Christmas season. What Jim and Judy Robertson load a cart with groceries for families began as an effort to feed 12 in need. Photo by Cindy Taylor

families in need has evolved into a blessing; both for the community and for the Robertsons. “Many years ago a group of us wanted to do some food baskets so we decided to try and do a dozen,� said Judy. “We just had an outpouring of food.� Early on people would bring food. Over time it was decided that raising money was easier, then purchasing food to fill the baskets. Baskets include meats, cheese, milk, eggs, butter, canned goods and many other staples. Shopping for the groceries soon became overwhelming as well. “I had a friend who was helping me shop,� said Judy. “We would be pushing carts through the store with more than 30 gallons of milk in a cart. We knew it was time to change the way we were

doing the ministry once again.� Once the couple asked for help, volunteers from the church jumped right in. Today the ministry is church-wide. Some members pack boxes, some shop for groceries, some deliver and some distribute from the church. Local schools provide names of families who need assistance. “This has definitely been a learning experience for us,� said Jim. Jim loads a spreadsheet with info about the families and uses that to track progress and make sure no one is left out. Management at local grocery stores is aware of the ministry and does its part to make the church’s job as easy as possible. Brenda Mertz coordinates the Angel tree

gifts which are linked to the food baskets. Thanks to a ministry that started with only a few volunteers many years ago, members at Sharon prepared more than 50 food baskets this year and provided gifts for more than 70 children. “When you see how happy people are, not just the recipients but the volunteers at our church who are involved, it makes this all worthwhile,� said Judy. Judy is training someone she hopes will take over in the next couple of years. The couple are in total agreement about why they continue to do this year after year. “It is a great way for the church to help the community. And this is Christmas for us.�

Help from the By Cindy B Ci d Taylor T l Halls resident Brittany Ball has not had an easy life physically. She had a normal childhood until she developed West Nile virus at age 5 following a mosquito bite. The virus caused Brittany to develop seizures which were kept somewhat under control for a few years allowing her to get through school and graduate. “Once she turned 12, the doctors have never been able to get Brittany’s seizures under control,� said her mom Donna. Now 20 years old, Brittany struggles daily with epilepsy which keeps her from leading the life enjoyed by most people her age. Despite, or because of, her physical struggles, Brittany has developed a huge heart. She and her mom held a garage sale this past fall where they met Halls resident Larry Estep. Estep was out looking for toys and stuffed animals to hand out at the Luttrell Christmas Parade. “When Brittany heard

Brittany Ball was made an honorary citizen of Luttrell and awarded the key to the city at the city of Luttrell Christmas dinner. She is pictured with Mayor Johnny Merritt and council members Barry Corum, Jody Smith and Lloyd Railey. She was honored the countless toys she has donated to the city of Luttrell to be given to the children at the Christmas Parade. Photos submitted what Larry was doing with the stuffed animals, she gave them to him rather than letting him buy them. Then she told him to hold on a minute,� said Donna. Brittany had been collecting “Build-a-Bears� for years and they were very special to her. When she heard there were children in Luttrell who would have nothing for Christmas she ran back in her house, gathered all but

one of her beloved stuffed animals and brought them all down to Estep. “She only kept the one because it has gone with her every time she has had to be hospitalized and is very special to her,� said Donna. “Each animal had special meaning to her but she wanted to give back and help somebody else.� After meeting Estep, Brittany took the plight of

These days Brittany spends much of her time in bed because of her health, but she was able to ride on the float with Santa during the Luttrell Christmas parade where she helped hand out the toys.

Famous tailbacks and their friends This is an extension of the chicken-or-egg timeline. You can use some of the thoughts in evaluating how Jalen Hurd does against Northwestern. Five Tennessee tailbacks achieved the grand prize of college football, election to the Hall of Fame. Little children should be taught their names in chronological order: Gene McEver, Beattie Feathers, George Cafego, Hank Lauricella and John Majors. Here is the first chickenor-egg question: Was their greatness based on athletic excellence and exceptional smarts or on the crusty linemen who (after shaving with chainsaws) knocked obstructions and resistance

Marvin West

into the third row of seats? It has been said that great running backs simplify blocking assignments. It has also been said that if a tailback plays an entire game without getting grass stain on his britches, friends up front must have been very protective. With McEver on the field, Tennessee never lost a game. His first best splash, in 1928, was his 98-yard return of the opening kickoff

against Alabama. He also caught a touchdown pass in that 15-13 monumental upset. In 1929, he scored 130 points and became Tennessee’s first all-American. Robert R. Neyland said McEver “was the best player I ever coached – or saw.” Maybe you’ve heard of Herman Hickman. He’s in the Hall of Fame. As a sophomore guard, he led the way for McEver. Ends Paul Hug and Fritz Brandt were allSouthern. Feathers followed McEver and led two undefeated teams. Hickman was a large factor in 1931. Tackle Ray Saunders, end Van Rayburn, center Talmadge “Sheriff” Maples and block-

ing back Deke Brackett were key aides. Parenthetical to this particular segment, Feathers averaged 9.9 per carry as the first thousand-yard rusher in the NFL. The Chicago Bears also provided blockers. Cafego was SEC player of the year in undefeated 1938 and more famous in ’39 as offensive star and safety when the Volunteers didn’t permit a single point. George ran and passed and punted. Guards Ed Molinski and Bob Suffridge (sixth in Heisman voting) and end Bowden Wyatt were stars up front. All three are in the Hall of Fame. Tackle Abe Shires and blocking back Sam Bartholomew (Jacobs trophy)

weren’t too tacky. Lauricella became an instant legend with the 75yard run against Texas in the 1951 Cotton Bowl. Lots of Volunteers cut down lots of Longhorns on that long trip. John Michaels caught Neyland’s attention. The coach once said “Michels was the best blocking guard in the United States of America.” The 1951 national championship team set records with 3,068 yards and 40 rushing touchdowns. Michels won the Jacobs trophy as the best blocker in the SEC. He’s in the Hall of Fame. Center Bob Davis, blocking back Jimmy Hahn, ends John Davis and Vince Kaseta, tackles Charley

Stokes and Jim Haslam and guard Vernon Lyons were very good. Majors had some really fine friends escorting him through the spectacular 1956 season. Blocking back Stockton Adkins, tackles John Gordy and Charles Rader, guards Bruce Burnham and Bill Johnson and center Bubba Howe cleared the way. Majors was nimble and quick. He made some would-be hitters miss. Now I ask you, which came first, great Tennessee blockers or famous tailbacks? Hurd is all the way up to second-team all-SEC. How much are the linemen helping?

Knox County Sessions Court Judge Andy Jackson, at right, and his wife, Janet, at left, greet guests Robin and Ron Vargas, who stopped by the Jacksons’ annual Christmas open house at their home in West Knox County.

Joyful holidays with the Jacksons

Each Christmas season for many years now, Janet and Andy Jackson have invited friends from near and far to a holiday open house at their gracious home, tucked deep into a pretty little valley among the rolling hills of deep West Knox County. The outside lights can be seen from far away as guests travel the winding roads to the home, where they are greeted by garlands draping the railings of the wide porches that surround most of the house. Bright red Adirondack rocking chairs offer an inviting place to sit on a warm December night. Inside, it seems that every inch of the home is decorated for the holidays, with collections of old-fashioned Santas, multiple Christmas trees, greenery, red bows, and, of course, a feast fit for a king. The focal point is a 12-foot tree in the spacious foyer. It’s a family affair, so little children, dressed in their holiday finest, dart through the crowd to oohs and aahs

light of guests. Janet says the decorating begins the day after Thanksgiving, with husband, Andy, Knox County Sessions Court Judge, and daughters, Ra-

chel, a student in UT Veterinary School, and Rebecca, a senior marketing major at UT, pitching in. ‌ and a good time is always had by all.

Among guests were Knoxville City Judge John Rosson, Kevin Allen, Knox County District Attorney Charme Allen, John Boucher and Lori Holt.

How did Grieve topple Pavlis? City Council 10 days ago removed Nick Pavlis as vice mayor and replaced him with Duane Grieve by a narrow 5-4 vote. This column predicted two weeks ago that Grieve could win by a 5-4 vote. What happened? Why? First, Grieve really wanted it. He is qualified. Second, Duane Grieve Rogero did not help Pavlis, who had been her staunch ally for the past four years, which helped Grieve. Third, mayoral ambitions may have played a role. Fourth, some members honestly believed four years as vice mayor was enough and someone else deserved a chance. Fifth, the vice mayor elected last week might get to be interim mayor should

Victor Ashe

Rogero depart in the summer of 2017 to join a potential Clinton Administration. Sixth, Pavlis did not foresee this happening. Pavlis was seen as a hardworking vice mayor who did not make any serious errors. He had to oversee the entire council office departing in 2015, the first time in 30 years this had happened. So why did the council discharge him? Most answers are speculative as no one will go on the record with candid comments. Grieve will be the first architect to be Knoxville’s vice mayor. He has won two elections easily. He is very active as was Pavlis. Grieve

sought the interim mayor position in 2011 but lost on a 5-4 vote to Daniel Brown. Pavlis backed Grieve then. While Grieve will be supportive of Rogero in general, he is more likely to ask questions both publicly and privately. He will not be as totally supportive of Rogero as Pavlis was but he will not be an opponent either. He feels the council should play a role in setting the city’s vision. Pavlis is viewed as a potential mayoral candidate. The two other potential mayoral candidates on council, Marshall Stair and George Wallace, both backed Grieve, removing Pavlis from the higher visibility position. Some suspect practical politics may have been at work here. Rogero, unlike other mayors, did not attempt to influence the vote although she gave Pavlis the coveted honor of introducing her for her inaugural. That did not change any votes. Grieve is

now a heartbeat away from the mayor’s office. ■The UT Diversity Office has been under fire with all sorts of allegations made. Some have merit and others do not. However, what seems lost in the shuffle is what do these folks actually do? What is a typical day for each of these 30 employees? Most people support diversity and for a university it is a valid goal. An academic environment should expose all to different views and walks of life. But is an actual Office for Diversity with so much staff needed to achieve this? What does the office actually do? Name something specific. For example, when the diversity officer at the UT Law School (of which I am a graduate) or engineering school comes to work each day what does he/she do after their first cup of coffee? The public needs more than a job description but

If you don’t have the power ... Raw emotion was displayed by speakers opposed to Knox County Commission authorizing a contract for the Sheriff’s Office to use video cameras as a substitute for in-person visits for inmates at the county’s detention facilities. Chair Dave Wright said upfront the commission has no power over staffing decisions of the elected sheriff. He said the people could speak but implied it was a waste of time. That was countered by Tina Sparks of Vestal who said, “If you don’t have the power, who does?� Sparks said inmates need human contact. They need “touch, feel and eye contact. You cannot do that with a machine. “We should be able to have contact with our family, our loved ones, our friends. Machines are not the answer to everything.� Psychologist Nancy Mott said commissioners must consider the humanity of those who are incarcerated. “We are defined by how we treat the least of these, our brothers and sisters,� she said. “What kind of society do we want to live in?� The Rev. Harold Middlebrook doesn’t come to County Commission much, he said, because the members are generally looking out for “the least, the lost and the left-out.� “We should be looking for ways to help those/rehabilitate those who have fallen. I have found that

technology does not always work.� Middlebrook had one question: “If you cannot decide on what is going to happen, why is this issue before you now?� Afterwards, the commission voted 9-2 to approve the contract with Dallasbased Securus Technologies Inc. Voting no were the Democrats, Amy Broyles and Sam McKenzie. ■Midway land was rezoned for a business park over the objections of Thorn Grove residents. That vote was 10-1 with only Broyles opposed. Both Broyles and McKenzie will leave the commission in 2016. Republicans are trying to capture both seats, presumably heading for some 11-0 votes. ■Tea Party conservatives packed Farragut High School’s gym for Ted Cruz, the fast-talking Texas alternative to Donald Trump. Hmmm. A one-term senator who previously served in a state Legislature. Sound familiar? But the Tea Party by definition can’t favor somebody with Washington experience. Washington is the problem, not the solution, don’t you see?

an actual day in the life of a diversity employee. Are 30 employees needed to accomplish the goals or can it be done by 20 or 15? These are valid questions which have not been asked or answered. ■The Haslams’ Christmas gift to state lawmakers and many friends across the state was a handsome Christmas tree ornament shaped like the state of Tennessee with the state flag on one side and symbols of the state on the other. It was made in southern Poland which is noted worldwide for its creation of Christmas tree ornaments. Joy to the World Collectibles here in Knoxville handles their distribution in much of the USA. This ornament was made especially for Haslam under the direction of First Lady Crissy Haslam. It will be a collector’s piece. ■Mayor Rogero meets next week (8:30 a.m. Wednes-

day, Jan. 6) with Knox lawmakers as a group for breakfast in her City County Building office. Several legislators indicated they have no objection to the public attending. Rogero has not said what she thinks about public attendance. However, if you attend, do not expect breakfast for anyone except the invited guests. ■Hubert Smith’s term on KAT does not expire until December 2016. He was appointed by Rogero. He also continues on the Public Building Authority, appointed by Mayor Tim Burchett. He says he will resume regular attendance there. Smith works at UT and runs a weekly radio show. KAT chair Jim Richards placed him on the nominating committee which makes him ineligible to seek a KAT office. Smith has missed several meetings recently but says his 2016 attendance will be exemplary.

A dying year, a new year We are treated as impostors, and yet are true; as unknown, and yet are well known; as dying, and see – we are alive. ‌ (II Corinthians 6: 8b NRSV)

Ron LeQuire and Ned Jones prepare the Christmas brunch.

Pho-

tos by Cindy Taylor

A gift of By Cindy Taylor For the past seven years members at Union Baptist Church have helped make Christmas a bit brighter for a few families in the community who need a little help for the holidays. Members come together to provide brunch, fun and presents for families from area schools and sometimes from inside the church. “We contact the counselors at local schools and ask them to help us identify families who need assistance,� said church member Debbie Rose. Once the schools share the names, the church invites the families for the brunch. They respond if they wish to participate. Not every family chooses to attend. This year the response from the families was 100 percent. Rose says the church’s

activities committee spearheads the brunch but it takes the entire church participating in order to accommodate all the families. Some church members cook the meal, others take photographs of the children with Santa for the family to take home, others purchase gifts to be given to family members, some assist the children with crafts during their morning together and there are other members who perform a skit and sing Christmas carols. Union Baptist pastor, the Rev. Gary Vandergriff, delivers a brief Christmas message. “We want to give the true gift of Christmas,� said Rose. “To give without expecting anything in return. Although we do receive the blessing of watching these families experience Christmas.� After the meal, the fami-

Gifts are then placed on the tables as a surprise for the families who come back to the fellowship hall after the program. Each child receives a new outfit, pajamas, gloves, scarves, hats and a toy. Adults receive at least one piece of clothing along with outerwear. At the end of the morning each family takes home a box of food with enough staples and

I hope that your coming year will be filled with joy and growth, with just enough excitement to keep life interesting, but not so much as to be frightening. I hope that in this coming year you will make a difference somehow: in your home, in your neighborhood, in your workplace. I hope that you will make a new friend, let go of an old grudge, give up a pipe dream. I hope that life will be stronger, warmer, richer, truer than before, because that is God’s will for you, always. I hope that you will live each and every day, blessed with joy and peace and love and grace!

There have been some years that I have been happy to bid a not-sofond farewell to, but this is not one of them. It has been a good year, all in all. The world, so far, has continued to turn on its axis; the sun has risen in the east and set in the west; the force of gravity has stayed constant. These are things, I realize, that we take for granted, but perhaps we should not. I hope that in this past year you have loved someone, taught someone, forgiven someone. I hope that in this dying year you have seen something new, something old, something astonishing. I hope that your prayers have been heard and answered, if not in the way you had hoped, at least in a way that you could benefit from. I hope that in the coming year you will learn some things: things about yourself, your dreams, and your potential.

North Knoxville Rotarians last Thursday heard from Dr. Kaushik Biswas, who works at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. He discussed a research and development project focused on building-related energy performance and durability. He said new in-

Savvi Formalwear is now Regal Tuxedo and Formalwear. Owner Ben Dobson says the name change ushers in a new chapter of his 30-year career. But the name change will not change Dobson’s relationship with the community or his customers. “Our focus at Regal Tuxedo will be as it was at Savvi,� he said. “That is to give outstanding customer service while providing top quality products at reasonable prices. This will not change.� Dobson plans to continue his involvement in the dayto-day operations of his two stores – one off Kingston Pike at Windsor Square and the other in Knoxville Center mall. He will be supported by trained employees, several of

sulation products will mean thinner walls, less expensive construction and more efďŹ cient energy use in the future. He said that recent R&D activities include Dr. Biswas the measurement and heat transfer modeling of thermal-physical properties of highperformance insulation materials. A native of India, Biswas earned his master’s degree and doctorate from Purdue University.

whom have been with Regal Tuxedo for over 20 years. “We are excited to roll out the Regal name as we plan for 2016,â€? he said. While continuing to offer traditional styles, Regal will also offer Slim ďŹ t collections, light gray, charcoal, tan and navy. “What sets us apart is that we carry our stock in the stores so that customers are able to try on different styles. This also eliminates rush fees and extra shipping charges from a warehouse.â€? Dobson said his established relationships with area bridal shops enables them to color coordinate weddings perfectly. As a

community service, Dobson has long assisted local high school students with prom choices by providing tuxedos, free of charge, for prom shows and by offering discounts to students and rebates to the schools. Why the name change? Dobson said Savvi is a large corporate entity controlled mainly by owners in large markets that have multiple stores, some as many as 20 or 25. He says the emphasis has shifted from individualized, personal service to the bottom line and what works in all the big cities. It seemed to him that the smaller mar-

kets were getting lost in the big corporate shufe. By leaving Savvi corporate, Regal Tuxedo will be able to offer better pricing to customers because of the savings in corporate fees. An East Tennessee native, Dobson came to Knoxville to attend UT and has been in the formalwear business virtually from the time of his graduation. “I love what I do, working with bridal couples, prom customers, and being a small part of their wedding or special event. I also get the chance to work with other great wedding vendors in the area, which is very rewarding,â€? he said.

More banjo! By Carol Shane There’s no way of knowing how many different resolutions are being made for the year 2016, but if one of yours is “hear more banjos,� boy are you in luck. Next week Knoxville’s popular Old City destination Boyd’s Jig and Reel will come alive with the sound of the twangy, soulful fivestring instrument – in bulk – when the Knoxville Banjo Orchestra Flash Mob invades “Tennessee Shines,� sponsored by WDVX. Kyle Campbell, the banjo player who heads up the whole thing, recalls the KBO’s beginnings. “Matt Morelock called all the banjo players he knew for the Meadowlark Festival back in the spring,� he says. “I started calling everyone I knew. It was about 20 banjos.� Campbell and part of his crew are fresh off the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra’s Clayton Christmas Concerts, where their banjo quartet made a real splash. “We were going to have the whole banjo orchestra playing in the lobby, but they thought we should be part of the show.� There wasn’t room for the whole gang, so Campbell and Jessica Watson, Tim Wor-

man and Don Phillips made a fine foursome. Phillips, by the way, plays a bass banjo that he made himself. A bass drum forms the body, part of a thick wooden pallet serves as a sturdy neck, and heavyduty fishing line provides resonant strings. It’s played in the upright position. The headliners for the evening are The Bearded, originally a trio of Campbell, Greg Horne and Chris Zuhr. They describe their sound as “oldtime mountain blues.� Campbell says the name came about because “we all had beards – at least when we started.� He’s excited to welcome three other players into the lineup. “There’ll be six in all,� he says. “We’ll have some new songs, some new sounds.� Also featured will be former Knoxvillian Mark Lamb, co-founder of Circle Modern Dance in Knoxville and Mark Lamb Dance in New York City. He’ll perform his spoken-word piece “Into the Fire� about the importance of cast iron skillets. It’s a preview of his show, “A Boy and His Dolly,� which will be part of the birthday tribute to Dolly Parton coming up at the Bijou Theatre (more info com-

ing in a future column.) WDVX’s “Tennessee Shines� is a live weekly program, continuing throughout the year. Each event features a lively musical lineup, and it’s a great place

to go for conviviality, food and drink. Why not get out for the first one of 2016? “You don’t get to see a bunch of banjos all in one place,� says Campbell, “so it’ll be special.�

The Bearded plus the Knoxville Banjo Orchestra Flash Mob and Mark Lamb will perform at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 6, at Boyd’s Jig and Reel, the non-smoking musical pub

Pickle Top 10: indies and space epics By Betsy Pickle Ranking a year’s movies has turned into a national obsession, but it’s so much fun and such a healthy addiction that you don’t have to worry about seeking professional help – unless you’re literally relying on a professional critic for guidance. It’s only opinion, after all, so there’s no right or wrong. People have different tastes and are drawn to different genres. And since the end of the year is always a good time to reflect, it makes sense to play the game. 2015 was a satisfying movie year because there were great blockbusters and amazing indies. It was a good mix. And while that makes the apples-and-oranges quality of Top 10 lists dizzying, it’s also the perfect entry point for debate. So let’s begin: 1. “Room� – This fall’s indie sensation is a powerful example of what film can do. Based on a novel by Emma Donoghue, who adapted the screenplay, “Room� shows the resilience of the human spirit with its story of a young woman and her little boy, held captive in a tiny space but using their imaginations to learn, grow and survive. The clash of fantasy and reality is brutally inevitable, but even when it arrives, “Room� finds avenues

Ma (Brie Larson) broadens the horizons of a confined world for Jack (Jacob Tremblay) in “Room.� to challenge and uplift. 2. “Star Wars: The Force Awakens� – The long-anticipated epic delivers new hope for the beloved franchise. After the dark years of the prequel trilogy, “The Force Awakens� builds on the familiar but re-engineers the space saga so that there’s a more complex palate of emotions and a more diverse array of characters. The emotional wallop of seeing old favorites back in action is a quantity that cannot be dismissed, but the new young stars – Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac

and Adam Driver – bring nuances that should carry the series into the future. 3. “Brooklyn� – A “small� film in the tradition of old Hollywood romances finds a way to tap into more intimacy than many of its venerable predecessors. A young Irishwoman comes to the United States to find opportunity, but cutting ties with the old country proves harder than she expected. Watch out: Saoirse Ronan may turn out to be the Meryl Streep of her generation. 4. “Amy� – Documentaries can hold their own

or even surpass narrative films in terms of powerful storytelling and cultural insight. “Amy� is a great film, no matter how it’s classified. It respectfully dissects the short and tragic life of singer Amy Winehouse and makes it clear why the world should regret her passing. 5. “The Martian� – Even before “The Force Awakens� arrived, space was a popular frontier in 2015 thanks to the collaboration of Matt Damon and director Ridley Scott (who has an affinity for the milieu). Adapted from a book by Andy Weir, “The Martian� is a roller coaster of an epic and a grabber of a lone-survivor story, with an outstanding performance by Damon. 6. “Trumbo� – Bryan Cranston’s measured portrayal of blacklisted screenwriter Dalton Trumbo serves a passionate plea for tolerance while depicting one of the nation’s darkest eras. 7. “The End of the Tour� – Jesse Eisenberg and Jason Segel do a graceful dance of the conflicts between art and commerce in this slice-of-life bio inspired by doomed novelist David Foster Wallace. 8. “The Danish Girl� – Oscar winner Eddie Redmayne triumphs again in a

period piece inspired by the life of a transgender pioneer, who first became noted as artist Einar Wegener. Redmayne is equally matched by the brilliant Alicia Vikander, as Einar’s artist wife. 9. “Ex Machina� – Speaking of Vikander, 2015 was her year, and “Ex Machina� is one of the reasons why. As an android exploring her human side, she befuddles both creator Oscar Isaac and tech geek

Domhnall Gleeson in this smart sci-fi drama directed by Alex Garland. 10. “Love & Mercy� – Whether you’re a Beach Boys fan or not, this film about the struggles of musician Brian Wilson will draw you in and break your heart. The debate continues over whether John Cusack or Paul Dano is the star (my vote’s for Dano), but both, along with Elizabeth Banks and Paul Giamatti, make this biopic riveting.

‘The Hateful Eight’ Samuel L. Jackson plays bounty hunter Major Marquis Warren in “The Hateful Eight,� now playing in the “roadshow� version in 70mm at Pinnacle 18 and expanding to regular screens on Friday. Writer-director Quentin Tarantino rounds up an octet of scumbags and strands them together in post-Civil War Wyoming during a blizzard. Mayhem ensues. The film also stars Kurt Russell, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Tim Roth, Channing Tatum, Walton Goggins, Bruce Dern and Michael Madsen. It’s rated R for strong bloody violence, a scene of violent sexual content, language and some graphic nudity.

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

Five-Star Rehabilitation, No. 1 in the nation PNRC receives patient satisfaction award (again)

Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center recently became a five-time recipient of the Crystal Award for outstanding patient satisfaction. The award is bestowed by the nationally known healthcare marketing research company, Professional Research Consultants (PRC) and is given annually to the country’s top rehabilitation facility that scores at or above the 100th percentile when compared to other facilities. PRC research is conducted via a confidential survey to obtain the opinions of patients and assess their perceptions of patient care. Facilities strive to receive an “Excellent” when their patients are asked the Overall Quality of Care question, with PNRC’s patients giving that answer more often than patients at any

other rehabilitation facility in the country. Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center medical director Mary Dillon, MD, is honored, but not too surprised. “Receiving the Crystal Award validates what we at PNRC already know,” Dillon says, “that we strive to provide excellent patient centered care every day.” According to PRC research, patients in rehabilitation at PNRC are happier with their care than patients in rehabilitation anywhere else in the country. It’s the fifth time the East Tennessee leader in stroke, spinal cord and brain injury rehabilitation has brought home the award since 2005. Additionally, PNRC was presented a 5-star award for being in the top 10 percent among

healthcare providers, facilities and units in the PRC database for patient satisfaction based on the percent of “Excellent” responses to Overall Quality of Care. “The Crystal Award and 5-star award are particularly meaningful because it reflects how our patients feel about the care they received, instead of our opinion of the job we are doing,” Dillon says. Patients admitted to Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center are usually experiencing difficult and challenging circumstances. Dillon believes the validation of patient approval may help ease minds about the work ahead. “When our patients and families see the Crystal Award, I think it gives them confidence about their care and experiences at the Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center,” Dillon says. “For our staff, the award certainly affirms their efforts and inspires a sense of accomplishment.” Calling excellence an “ongoing process,” Dillon says PNRC is always striving to im-

prove, whether accolades are involved or not. “We aren’t driven by the prospect of awards,” Dillon says. “As a staff, our goal is to provide the best care – the kind we would want for our own families and loved ones.” PNRC offers a comprehensive, team approach to rehabilitation. Physical, occupational, recreational, behavioral medicine and speech language therapists work with rehabilitation physicians to develop individual plans of care. Meanwhile, rehabilitation nurses work with patients and their families to teach self-care techniques, and to provide education, helping patients restore their abilities and rebuild their lives. The goal is to guide patients through a customized rehabilitation program that maximizes their independence as quickly as possible. To learn more about Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center and the services it provides, visit www.patneal.org or call 865-541-1446.

Individuals, departments of Fort Sanders Regional honored for great 2015

Local hospital re-certified as Comprehensive Stroke Center After a two-day survey from the Joint Commission, Fort Sanders Regional was re-certified earlier this year as one of the region’s only Comprehensive Stroke Centers. Comprehensive stroke centers are recognized for their ability to treat the most complex stroke patients, something that Regional does daily. “I continue to be proud of all the physicians, nurses, therapists and technologists that treat our stroke patients,” said Keith Altshuler, president of Fort Sanders. “It’s an example – from diagnosis to rehabilitation – of how teamwork and technology are used to provide excellent care.” “When a stroke patient enters our emergency department, the staff follows a protocol that involves early detection and treatment options,” said Dr. Elizabeth Hull, medical director of the Emergency Department at Fort Sanders. “Most other facilities don’t have this process in place and can’t offer all the treatment options we have available.” Once a stroke is diagnosed, treatment options become clear. “Stroke patients that meet criteria based on time since the onset of their symptoms and their presentation can receive the blood clot dissolving medication tPA,” said Hull. “But for patients outside the initial 4 1/2 hour window to receive this treatment, the services available at Fort Sanders have become critical.” Neuro-hospitalist coverage, 24/7, has been key to managing the treatment and recovery of stroke patients. Stroke Medical Director Dr. Arthur Moore noted “within

the four- to seven-hour time window, we choose from a couple of options, all based on what is best for the patient.” In the case of ischemic strokes – those that are caused by blockages in the blood vessels leading to the brain – neurointerventional radiologist Dr. Keith Woodward’s specialty treats patients via a catheter in the femoral artery in the groin. Dr. Woodward either administers tPA directly to the clot or removes the clot through the catheter. In the case of a hemorrhagic stroke – one caused by a ruptured blood vessel – Dr. Woodward and neurosurgeons, Drs. Paul Peterson, Joel Norman and Barrett Brown, determine whether the vessel can be repaired via surgery or coiling. “The Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center (PNRC) also plays a major role in the Comprehensive Stroke Center designation,” added Dr. Moore. PNRC is accredited by the Commission for the Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) for its stroke program and is a leader is getting stroke patients back home. Dr. Moore cited the efforts of Dr. Mary Dillon, PNRC medical director, and her team as key to these outcomes. “We are proud of our efforts at Patricia Neal, and our team of dedicated physicians, nurses, therapists and support personnel make this difficult journey more bearable,” said Dr. Dillon. This has been the first Comprehensive Stroke re-certification survey at Fort Sanders. Surveys occur every two years.

Annually the Covenant Health Performance Excellence Awards recognizes the outstanding performances around the organization. The awards event includes two categories, the Everest Awards, recognizing individual peak performers, and the Performance Excellence Awards, for projects supporting the health system’s Journey to Excellence pillars: Quality, People, Service, Finance and Growth. This year, Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center was represented quite well: ■ Michael Shelton, clinical nurse specialist and educator, Emergency Department, was honored as a 2015 Everest Award winner. He oversees preceptors who orient new hires; provides continuing education for the ED staff and the system to comply with Comprehensive Stroke Center requirements; teaches classes for the system in orthopedics, splinting and casting, and provides stroke education to the community. ■ “Impacting Stroke Care: Improving Door-to-Needle Times with t-PA Administration,” submitted by Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center, was a Performance Excellence Award winner. The team’s goals included meeting The Joint Commission standard of a 60-minute door-to-needle time for t-PA administration for 75 percent of ischemic stroke patients, along with goals related to CT interpretation, length of stay, discharge to home and reducing readmissions. As a result of the team’s efforts, 75 percent of eligible patients receive t-PA within 60 minutes, with an average time of about 44 minutes. ■ “Reducing Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infections,” earned an award as well for Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center 8 North and Critical Care units, Methodist Medical Center, Morristown-Hamblen Healthcare System and Roane Medical Center. According to the Centers for Disease Control, catheter associated urinary tract infections, or CAUTIs, are the most frequent type of hospitalacquired infection. Outcomes for CAUTI projects at the four facilities listed include significant reductions in infection rates,

Everest Award winner Michael Shelton (right) pictured with Covenant Health CEO and President Tony Spezia with Fort Sanders Regional’s 8 North, Morristown-Hamblen, and Roane Medical Center reaching a rate of zero CAUTIs in 2014 and YTD 2015. ■ “Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center Functional Independence Measure (FIM) Project: A Two-Year Project by PNRC Nursing to Improve Patient Outcomes.” Submitted by the staff of PNRC, it earned the President’s Award. Functional Independence Measures measure patient capabilities in areas such as self-care, locomotion and ability to communicate. PNRC patients’ FIM scores were not reflecting their clinical gains from admission to discharge. The Center was not receiving optimal payment for care provided to CMS fee-for-service patients, and was not receiving maximum allocation of inpatient days to meet patients’ needs. Analysis showed opportunities to involve nursing staff in FIM assessments, to improve data collection and documentation and implement staff education. After changes were initiated, scores have been comparable to or better than the national average, resulting in an anticipated increase in Medicare fee-for-service reimbursement and a 4.5 day increase in approved length of stay for inpatient rehab. Results have been sustained for two years.

Covenant Health Knoxville Marathon Corporate Team Challenge members pose for their first group picture at Parkwest Medical Center. Team members will serve as ambassadors for corporate health and fitness. They are: (front) Lisa Benton, Naomi Blair, Neva Foust, Lee Ann Bowman, Tatia Harris, Cynthia Jones; (back) Robert Holder, Misty Monday, Jennifer Marsh, Bob Yarbrough, Chip Braeuner, Allison Benge, Melisa Hart and Chris Blevins.

Let the wellness begin

Corporate team challenge highlights work wellness High blood pressure, elevated cholesterol, diabetes, aches and pains – these are all common problems affecting millions of people in the American workplace. We learn to live with it, take the pills, and clock in, because there’s a job to be done. But what if there’s a better way? Covenant Health has assembled a team

of representatives from local businesses to train for events in the Covenant Health Knoxville Marathon, April 3, 2016, as a path to better health and fitness. The new team members are ready to get serious about getting healthier, and have made a commitment to help others do the same. For a little extra motivation, they will be competing against each other to see who can make the greatest strides in health and fitness by race day. The team will be coached by Covenant Health fit-

sen from the marathon’s Fittest Company Challenge participants, a variety of employers throughout East Tennessee who are encouraging their work force to use marathon events to achieve optimum wellness. The team will receive expert advice on diet and exercise, and will serve as community ambassadors for health and fitness. Covenant Health’s first team was assembled for the inaugural marathon in 2005. Since then, the program has grown and changed to reach various groups of people. The 2016 team will be the first to focus primarily on corporate wellness, striving to help employers support workers’ efforts to be healthy.

At the end of the three-month training period, a winner will be named based on improvements in health and fitness, goals reached and team participation. The winner will receive a package of prizes from marathon sponsors, but Kane says past team members have told her the real prize is the new lease on life that comes with being healthy and strong.

How to change

everything

By Carol Shane Perry Ward, who lives in South Knoxville but teaches voice at UT Chattanooga, says he can trace his weight problems back to “too many sodas in my teens.â€? Even though he gave those up more than 25 years ago, he’s always struggled to keep his weight down and has tried various methods over the years. “But my real story begins about six years ago,â€? says the handsome baritone, who has had an international singing career and was once on the Metropolitan Opera roster. “I had just lost my job in the downsizing of the Bush recession,â€? he remembers. “It was sudden and unexpected. “I sent out a raft of rĂŠsumĂŠs and applications – academic, church jobs, retail – but received only rejections.â€? By late 2009, depressed and worried, Ward says, “my weight had risen to over 250 pounds.

Not my heaviest, but certainly the heaviest in many years. I didn’t like myself very much.� It was a wake-up call. “That December, I decided to change. Change everything. From the inside out. I wanted to be a better person. I wanted to be a more attractive job candidate – not just outwardly, but inwardly.� On the cusp of turning 50, Ward read the book “Younger Next Year� by Chris Crowley and Dr. Henry Lodge, and its information on the aging body’s metabolism and physiology made a big impression. “I knew I needed to do something. I was working two part-time jobs and I wanted to stop feeling resentful and desperate. “I went to work on me.� Having had experience with the “Change One� diet program years before, Ward knew about the effectiveness of slow change. He’d also read Mark Bittman’s

book, “Food Matters.� Eschewing the idea of another “diet,� he began to craft a plan using ideas from his three sources. “This was going to be a complete makeover into a nutrition and exercise plan I could live with.� By starting small with breakfast – a meal he usually skipped – Ward was able to eventually incorporate healthier eating choices at every meal. “I quit fast food. I have had perhaps five fast food meals since 2011. “I was amazed what happened to my palate after quitting fast food. I really had no idea how much salt is added to fast food, not just the French fries.� He switched from burgers and fries to half a sandwich and salad. He added healthy snacks of fresh fruit throughout the day, gave up white foods such as sugar and flour, and incorporated lots of lean protein, veggies and whole-grain carbs. Food, however, was only part of the equation. “I knew that I needed to get moving. This also needed to be a plan I could live with every day. Likewise, I started small, walking for 15 minutes three times a week. Then it was 30 minutes every other day. Soon, I graduated to moderate aerobics 30 minutes every other day,

and may seem overwhelming, but Ward points out that “it took me the better part of a year to adopt all of these dietary and exercise changes. I have maintained them now for over five years. It took over two years, but I dropped from 250 pounds in January 2010 to 197 pounds in April 2012.
