Halls Breakfast Club to meet

September 30, 2013

Battle re-enactment to be held at B Ft. Sanders replica site

The first Halls Breakfast Club event, sponsored by the Halls B&P, will meet 7:30 a.m. Tuesday, Oct. 1, at Kaleidoscope Gifts in Halls Crossing, the shopping center behind Taco Bell, at 6834 Maynardville Hwy. Everyone is welcome.

Commissioner’s Night Out Knox County Commissioner R. Larry Smith will hold Commissioner’s Night Out 5:30-7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 1, at the Halls Senior Center on Crippen Road. County department heads will be present to address codes, police, water, roads and other constituent concerns. Info: 922-5433.

Food City looking at new Halls store “What about a new store in Halls?” we asked Food City president and CEO Steve Smith, in town last week to open a new store in Powell.

“We’re working on it as we speak,” he said.

Smith went on to say the Steve Smith current Halls facility is a good store, “but it was an old Winn-Dixie.”

Food City made several renovations after taking over the former Winn-Dixie in Halls Plaza Center. John Jones, Food City’s executive vice president, lives and shops in Halls.

Neither Jones nor Smith would commit to a location.

In Powell, Knox County is spending $320,000 to realign West Beaver Creek Drive with the Food City entrance on Clinton Highway, including installation of a traffic signal. That work is not done, so traffic was diverted to a side entrance off the still-unfinished Emory Road.

County Commissioner R. Larry Smith called the Powell store “first class,” and manager Terri Gilbert “a great leader.”

Smith went on to invite all to his birthday party on Oct. 8 to be catered by Food City. “I love their fried chicken.”

Re-enactors “fight” The Battle of Fort Sanders at an exact replica of a recon- The view the Confederate re-enactors will have just before charging up the structed northwest bastion of the Civil War fort on Smiley Clapp’s farm near replica of the northwest bastion of Fort Sanders.

By Jake Mabe Nestled on Smiley Clapp’s 150acre Corryton farm is a perfect piece of Civil War paraphernalia.

And, no, I’m not talking about a cannon.

Built in 2007, the northwest bastion of Fort Sanders (originally located near 17th Street on the UT campus and lost in the

early 1900s) has been replicated to scale.

It’s a sight you have to see.

Clapp says that famed “Heartland Series” producer Steve Dean was looking for land free of power lines and houses that resembled the Fort Sanders of the 1860s to shoot a video for McClung Museum. Blalock Construction had

agreed to help with the project if the site was located near one of its projects. As it happens, Blalock was building a bridge near Clapp’s farm.

Lincoln Memorial University professor Dr. Earl Hess served as a consultant to make sure the northwest bastion of the fort was built to the original’s exact height

Yet another reason to pull for Butch

He didn’t realize it then, but Crowne Plaza general manager Ken Knight says he came to Knoxville during the golden years of University of Tennessee football – years when fans booked their hotel reservations the day the next season’s football schedule was released. Home game weekends sold out months in advance.

“My wife, Tammy, and I moved here in ’93 – during the best decade in the history of Tennessee football. We got spoiled,” he said.

was issued in January 2013 and surveyed data from the academic year 2011’12. It began with happy talk about fans traveling to Knoxville from all over the country to see the Volunteers play. Then it Knight conceded that attendance for home football games has declined: “Comparing the last two sevenhome-game seasons (2008-09 and 2010-11), attendance dropped by nearly 12,000 (roughly 1,660 per game). A drop of almost 37,000 in attendance occurred in the last two eight-home-game seasons (2009-10 and 2011-12). This drop is equivalent to a reduction

in attendance of just over 4,500 per game.”

Does a decline in numbers correspond to a lack of enthusiasm for spending money?

Absolutely, said a veteran employee of a West Knox establishment where Tennessee fans gather to catch away games on TV. “It’s been devastating. I’ve been talking about this all season. The crowds that come in to watch the games have been much smaller.

And when we’re losing, they quit drinking. I’ll ask, ‘You want to order anything to eat?’ They say, ‘No,’ and just sull up. People don’t feel like spending money on a losing team. Used to be, TV games had a big impact. Restaurants were like battle stations.

And that’s why there’s a sign sitting on top of the coin changer featuring three pictures of a hefty, dark-haired guy under the headline, “Say Hi to Jake ... .”

The grim explanation is below: “Actually, if you see Jake, call 911. He has been robbing our change machine! He comes in a dark gray Nissan and uses a $20 ‘bill on a string.’”

There’s a picture of the gray Nissan, too.

And when you think about sales tax revenue, you realize that it hits everybody in this town in the wallet, whether they know it or not.”

Out in South Knox, Ye Olde Steakhouse co-owner Cheryl Wilson doesn’t need an academic survey to conclude that football season’s not what it used to be, and it’s not solely because of the Henley Bridge closing.

“We used to have some really rowdy crowds. It was ‘Roll Tide’ and ‘Go Vols’ all weekend. We’d have a few people get into fights. But it’s been awhile. We used to do 800900 (customers) a night. Now if we get 500-600 we’re doing good.”

All over town, it’s pretty much the same. As go the Vols, so goes business. And winning teams equal busy cash registers.

“Beating Alabama in the old days was like Black Friday,” said Knoxville Chamber president Mike Edwards. “It’s been awhile.”

Fulton High grad/furniture maker/mountain man John Webb adjusts the press as Joe supervises and Cousin Teri catches errant drips of fresh-squeezed apple juice while Grandma anticipates a taste.

I was lucky enough to be up there for a cider pressing, an event that draws the neighbors on a Sunday afternoon to Joe’s off-the-grid cabin to watch, taste and join in the happy work.

A few minutes of raiding the lowest-hanging fruit from two or three trees garners us our admission to the pressing, which is as many apples as you can, or care, to bring. (No matter if you show empty-handed, everyone shares in a tasting of the amber goodness.)

Another time, he was caught in the act by another customer, but fled the scene before the police could get there. Rick and Kathy did their own investigating and found out who he was.

apples come off the truck and get rinsed, picked over for leaves and pieces of branches and rinsed again.

For a quicker run through the chipper, Joe has us cut the apples into chunks.

With three or four of us chopping, it goes pretty quick, with good-natured ribbing when the chipper is ready and the apples aren’t.

In previous years, the chipper was hand-cranked on an antique machine with a heavy flywheel, and luckily, a few big strong country

They got a warrant on Aug. 15, and were frustrated with the police department for not arresting him in a timely fashion. Shortly thereafter, he and his girlfriend got busted in Sevierville.

“The police went to media in Sevierville and they caught him the next day,” Ricky said.

The Knoxville Police Department finally arrested him, and last week, Jake picked up an additional

charge when he failed to appear in Knox County General Sessions Court. Ricky and Kathy are biding their time until he’s arrested again.

Not that they don’t have plenty to do. They’ve started a new business – “To Dye For” – and will be marketing their own line of custom-made tie-dyed shirts and hats.

Last winter, they partnered with the Knox County PTA’s Clothing Center and laundered and folded nearly 50 30-gallon bags full of clothing. At the same time, they’ve struggled with renovating and replacing their washers

and dryers and coped with problems created by an outof-whack utility meter.

Rick, who worked for HGTV, but had always wanted to own his own business, bought the laundromat in 2010. Kathy retired from her longtime job as special projects manager at the Knoxville News Sentinel and came on fulltime to help him. She says they love being business owners, despite the challenges.

“One step forward, two steps back is doing the chacha,” she said. “So we’re dancing.”

Bubba the Bear Elizabeth and Larry Millwood of Heiskell milled Bubba the Bear from a cedar log and brought him to live at Duck Pond Antiques. (And yes, their name really is Millwood.)

Halls at the Crossroads It’s a start.

Roughly 60 community members, office holders and city and county officials attended Halls at the Crossroads, a Halls B&P breakfast event to discuss ways to revitalize the Halls business community, at Beaver Brook Country Club last Tuesday.

MY TWO CENTS Attendees identified opportunities and challenges.

Opportunities included revitalizing the Halls shopping centers, repurposing empty big box stores, creating better access to the community, and capitalizing on the community’s existing assets (parks, greenways, library, senior center). Challenges included building community support, absentee landowners and attracting new businesses.

The event was moderated by public relations guys Mike Cohen and Mike Arms.

Halls resident and former WBIR-TV news anchor Bill Williams talked about “The Power of Pride,” using UT’s Pride of the Southland Marching Band as an analogy.

He says every instrument is important and every person is important to make the band a success, and that the same is true in any community.

Williams says the “secret” to the band’s success – and

to a community’s success – is “teamwork and hard work.

“I’ve never seen a group of young people work harder.

Maybe that’s one of the reasons why they’re so good.”

Michelle Hummel, director of Knoxville’s Central Business Improvement District, discussed how downtown Knoxville has been revitalized over the last decade.

“There is not just one silver bullet. You all have a lot of wonderful assets. It takes everybody working together to (succeed).”

Knox County Codes Administration and Enforcement director Roy Braden said, “We adopt codes so we can help everyone. We are Knox County employees, but we (all of us) are Knox County (citizens).”

Metropolitan Planning Commission comprehensive planning manager Mike Carberry said that MPC is discussing reducing the required number of parking spaces per square footage from five spaces per 1,000-square feet to three spaces per 1,000-square

feet.

“The Fountain City Kroger is 3.2 spaces. Five for every 1,000 square feet of retail space is overkill.”

“Whatever we’re going to do has to be led by the people in Halls.”

Halls B&P president Shannon Carey says the Halls B&P will coordinate a committee to take a deeper look at the opportunities and challenges identified at the meeting.

The committee will research what residents and businesses want to see in Halls and identify public perception.

“We will probably also pick a target location in Halls as a place to focus our efforts.”

Knox County Schools owns the Halls tennis courts and is responsible for their maintenance, a schools spokesperson said Friday.

Knox County Schools owns the tennis courts

In response to last week’s A-1 story, Knox County Schools public affairs specialist Amanda Johnson said Friday that the school system owns the dilapidat-

ed Halls tennis courts near Halls Elementary School.

The school system and Knox County Parks and Recreation were initially unsure who owned the courts and was responsible for their maintenance.

“We are assessing their (the courts’) status.”

Here’s hoping the assessment doesn’t take as long as it did to determine ownership.

knows, it is the only built-to-scale earth fort in the United States.

Re-enactors started holding an annual event at the site in 2008. It will be the host of Knox County’s official observance of the 150th anniversary of The Battle of Fort Sanders Thursday to Sunday, Oct. 10-13.

(The actual battle took place on Nov. 29, 1863.)

Thursday and Friday mornings are reserved for school group tours.

On Friday afternoon (Oct. 11), the site is free and open to the public for lectures, presentations and military demonstrations about East Tennessee’s participation in the war. Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett will officially recognize the battle’s anniversary during a short ceremony at 4 p.m. A brass band will play Civil War-era instruments and Dan Patterson, the great-great-grandson of Confederate Gen. James Longstreet, who commanded the Rebel forces during the battle, is scheduled to attend.

Re-enactments of the Battle of Fort Sanders and The Battle of Campbell’s Sta-

tion will be held at 4 p.m. and 2 p.m. respectively on Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 1213. For a full schedule of events, discount coupons and more info, visit www.battleoffortsanders.com.

Admission to the re-enactments is $8 for adults. Children under 6 are admitted free. Families with four or more members pay a maximum of $30. Admission is good for both days. The event will be held rain or shine.

This will be the final year of the re-enactment. Organizers expect the event to draw the largest number of re-enactors in its history.

The 20-minute battle on Nov. 29, 1863 was a disaster for the Confederates, which had 813 casualties to the U.S. Army’s 13.

The official Civil War Sesquicentennial event is sponsored by The Knoxville Civil War Roundtable, Lincoln Memorial University, WBIR-TV, The Civil War Courier, The Camp Chase Gazette, The Citizen’s Companion and the McClung Museum of Natural History and Culture.

Your kid at school Let’s take a different approach this week. Think about your kid or a kid you know. Does their experience with Knox County Schools prepare them for college or a job?

Sandra Clark

If so, you should thank a teacher. If not, you should get behind Jim McIntyre and his band of bean-counters to reform Knox County Schools.

There’s not much middle ground.

We asked how many hours a kid spends being tested. We got back a testing schedule called an assessment landscape. It showed no child spending more than 15 hours (two days per year) in tests, many of them state- or federally-mandated.

Yet a teacher in the field disputes the chart. (Note: the charts plus the KCS response to six questions from last week’s column are reprinted in full on our website at www.

ShopperNewsNow.com.)

The teacher said only an administrator could say the CBM is 3-5 minutes and proceeded to reveal a process that includes a trip to the gym and individual tests out in the hall. (We’ve got her response on the website, too.)

“When you look at this assessment chart Knox County has created, at first glance you think, ‘Oh, that’s not much.’ But when you look at what a child has to do in one 9-week period, you realize why teachers and children feel like all they ever do is test.

“An even bigger issue is whether or not parents understand all of this and are aware that their child is taking all of these tests, since a lot of the time the only tests that they know about are the weekly tests in math, reading, etc.”

While our questions to the superintendent were specific, a broader concern is to what extent does the community support student regimentation and testing?

End-of-course tests are expected, but we’ve gone overboard.

We’re told that the Common Core state standards will bring teaching that’s

richer, more in-depth. But it seems we will be implementing this plan while testing on the old TCAP model. What’s up with that?

A teacher called Friday to say that she received a “conference of concern” while her grade-level colleagues got good evaluations.

“We were asked to teach to the Common Core (as a pilot last year), and I did.

They didn’t. Instead, they pounded 20-30 multiple choice questions to their students every day.

“On TCAP tests, their students scored out the top, and the teachers are walking home with a bonus.

“My kids found six ways the multiple choice questions could be right or wrong. They thought themselves into a hole and took me with them.”

Bean-counting doesn’t work well, even in business, and much less in education where little tykes need their noses wiped while they’re learning the ABCs. The Chamber of Commerce has culpability. It created the “data warehouse” and made testing its top priority for Knox County Schools.

Teachers have a dilemma. They are evaluated on two instructional methods (rich and richer?) while subjected to multiple unannounced evaluations.

But it’s really about the kids. Your kids.

A teacher said she often shuts down a kid who is trying to tell her a story in order to hop to the next item on her daily plan. She would be in serious trouble if an evaluator dropped in to find her “off-task.”

Off-task. That used to be called teaching.

According to Brewer Ingram Fuller Architects, the Eugenia Williams house reflects a number of different architectural styles. The banister on the front staircase, marble mantels and ornate molding are Greek revival.

Eugenia Williams commissioned her childhood friend, John Fanz Staub, to design her home in 1940. The ornamental fretwork over the front door continues around the house.

Williams estate needs solution

Three months ago, I visited the historic Eugenia Williams home at 4848 Lyons View Pike which is owned by the University of Tennessee. It is one of only two houses in Knoxville designed by famed architect John Fanz Staub. The other is Hopecote on Melrose Avenue, which is a guest house for special UT visitors. It is well-maintained.

Staub, raised in Knoxville, spent most of his years in Houston where he designed the house built by oil heir Ima Hogg which later became the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston.

On Sept. 20, I made a return visit to see what changes had occurred since late June. I met with Terry Ledford, Gina Stafford and Justin Dothard. Clearly, UT maintenance crews had worked hard this summer to remove the almost junglelike vegetation encircling the carriage house behind the main house (not visible from Lyons View Pike) as well as the driveway leading Meetings ahead to it.

apparently dead.

All this occurred during three unfortunate presidencies which ended under unhappy and/or unpleasant circumstances.

Today, Joe DiPietro is nearing the end of his third year as president. He is innocent in the decision to acquire the house and failed attempts to deal with it. In fact, he has the opportunity to turn what has become a lemon for UT into lemonade by bringing a solution to a story which is not going away. DiPietro, along with the UT board, needs to deal with this issue. He has a reputation of being a problem solver.

Knox Heritage and its able attorney, Tom McAdams, have outlined a legal course of action to allow a sale of the house with restrictions as to its use subject to court approval.

Restrictions could prevent the 24 acres from becoming a new subdivision or the house being demolished.

State government presents a complicated process for sale of property, but there are people in Nashville who know the property well. Gov. Bill Haslam drove by it every day when he was mayor to get to work at the City County Building, and state Commissioner of Finance Larry Martin also knows the property. They would work to make a reasonable plan for the house succeed.

Today, UT clearly has no plan (or at least not one which UT officials will discuss on the record). DiPietro

has the chance to move this unending problem into a solution. Its location on one of the most scenic and affluent streets in Knoxville guarantees thousands of motorists see it daily and UT does not come off well. It is time for UT to turn its creative thinking onto this issue. The stars could be aligned to secure a win solution for the University if its leadership wants it to happen.

■ Louise Zirkle, longtime Republican activist, turns 94 years young today. She still lives in Sequoyah Hills where she moved 55 years ago with her husband, George, and family. She still follows politics. For over 40 years she worked the polling site at Sequoyah Hills Elementary School. She chaired the GOP precinct committee there for some 30 years, following attorney Richard Stair Sr. She

never missed a countywide GOP convention. She was a delegate for Richard Nixon to the GOP national convention in Miami in 1968.

Zirkle now lives adjacent to Talahi Park where she advocates its revival as a park.

A longtime friend of former council member Jean Teague, she allowed her name in the early 1980s to be written in as a council candidate for the West Knoxville district Teague represented in order to prevent some Teague opponents from fielding a last-minute rival thru the write-in process. Zirkle won the write-in votes and then withdrew as a candidate.

■ Gary Underwood is the only Knoxvillian to successfully win a seat for city council thru a write-in ballot campaign, which happened in 1989. He defeated the incumbent Vice Mayor Hoyle McNeil.

Candoro Rocks: y’all come

By Betsy Pickle It’s a little bit country, a little bit rock ’n’ roll and a whole lot of marble.

Candoro Rocks will bring it all together this weekend with a celebration of the marMajors ble sculptures of the late Albert Milani and a tribute to Hank Williams.

A reception 5-8 p.m. Friday, Oct. 4, at Candoro Marble, 681 Maryville Pike, will showcase the art exhibit featuring Milani sculptures and other marbles. John Majors, former UT head football coach, will be the special guest.

One of the sculptures is a bust of his late brother, Bill Majors, a UT coach killed tragically at age 26 in a cartrain wreck after a UT game.

The sculpture, including a sculpted pedestal, once resided in the Hall of Fame at Stokely Athletics Center but has been in storage for many years. Brimer Monument Company is moving the 800-pound statue without charge.

The reception is a First Friday event and is free and open to the public. Musician Luke Wilkerson will perform. Valet parking will be available.

“This happened really because of the great marble exhibit we’re about to do in conjunction with it,” says Sherby Jones, board member of the Candoro Arts & Heritage Center. “It will have five of Albert Milani’s large pieces that we have found.”

Milani was chief carver at Candoro for 40 years. In its heyday in the 1930s and 1940s, the marble works contributed to many significant buildings throughout the United States.

On Saturday, the focus will switch to music in an event Candoro hopes will become an annual fall festival. The origins came from a Hank Days celebration previously hosted by Candoro, so the heritage center tried to find a way to incorporate that theme via the bands playing throughout the day.

“They’re all required to play a Hank Williams song,” says Jones. “They may all play the same tune, who knows.”

Participating will be the Meltones, Vestal Riders, Rose Hawley, the Knox County Jug Stompers, Electric Healing Blues, Exit 65 and the Samuel Williams Orchestra. The audience

will decide the winner of the Hank Williams Championship Contest, judging the best rendition of a Williams song.

The bands will perform on two stages, with Vice Mayor Nick Pavlis hosting the mainstage.

A third stage will feature performances by belly-dance artists including DeLacey Ault, Humaya Tribal Fusion

and the Sandsations.

“They’re not going to do Hank Williams,” says Jones.

“I tried to get them to.”

Candoro Rocks will run from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday. In addition to the music and dancers, there will be food and craft vendors and children’s activities. Items sold at the Candoro Café will benefit the Candoro restoration fund.

Of all the promotions aimed at keeping South Knoxville businesses afloat during the Henley Bridge closure, this may be the coolest one yet: Scott Miller will perform a set at 7 p.m.

Tuesday, Oct. 1, at the Disc Exchange, 2615 Chapman Highway.

Before you ask which limb store owner Allan Miller had to sacrifice to get the renowned Americana musician to visit, listen to this: “We called him,” says Scott Miller. “Those people have been so good.

“How can you not help the Disc Exchange? They’re dying on the vine over there.”

The music store is certainly turning the evening into an event, offering free beer along with the free music. Miller also will sign CDs and get fans revved up for his 8 p.m. Friday, Oct. 4, show at the Bijou Theatre.

Miller, who established his music career in Knoxville after moving here in 1990, returned to his native Virginia a couple of years ago to help his octogenarian father run the family farm near Staunton. He has kept close ties with Knoxville and makes it a point to schedule shows here.

Next week’s visit will be like a homecoming as he promotes his new album, “Big Big World,” with a Blue Plate Special at WDVX and makes the media rounds.

He’s abandoning the cows for a month as he travels in support of “Big Big World,” which is technically a solo album but also a collaboration with Nashville producer, songwriter and musician Doug Lancio.

To create the album, Miller would take his typewriter and make a “little nest” in an office at Lancio’s studio, writing lyrics to music Lancio wrote.

“The only person I’ve cowritten songs with (before) was Mic Harrison from the V-Roys,” says Miller. “Maybe that’s because we were taught by Steve Earle a lot of tricks and things, or because Mic and I naturally

approached songs the same way – we were simpatico there.”

He felt relaxed with Lancio because the lyrics he wanted to write and the music Lancio kept supplying were in the same vein.

“The thing with Doug was, he didn’t really want to mess with the lyrics; he was all music,” says Miller. “The music part is not my strong point. Never has been. I’m always, like, three-chord guy. Doug also has pop sensibilities. He’s proven it with Patty Griffin and these other people that he’s produced.”

The songs on “Big Big World” take Miller out of the Americana box and let him play with varying forms of rock, country and even African beats.

“This is different than any other record I’ve made,” says Miller, who adds that he had to open himself up to trust Lancio’s input. “Probably my fans will hate it. But it’s what I wanted to do. And if you don’t want to do it and if you’re not happy doing it, who’s going to want to let you do it anyway?”

On his days off during the October tour, Miller will fly to catch up with Griffin and open for her on her tour.

It will be a grueling month, but he’s ready.

“Working on the farm now, I’m in better shape than I’ve ever been,” he says. “I feel good. Whether I look good, I don’t know.”

There’s a big game in town two John Majors passes to Buddy Cruze, down and out, then down and in, to the Tech 1. Tommy Bronson scored the touchdown in a 6-0 victory. Other highlights included Majors quick-kicking 68 yards and tackle Jim Smelcher finding a fumble when Tech was driving.

There were other defining moments. Two years later, a Wyatt team lost to Chattanooga.

Strange that a couple of ties would be big deals in Doug Dickey’s time at Tennessee. Knotting up at 3-3 with nationally-ranked LSU in Baton Rouge was the bright spot for his first team. That was 1964.

Fighting defending national champion Alabama to a 7-7 tie in Birmingham

the next season was the liftoff to a strong finish. Snake Stabler contributed by throwing away the football to stop the clock – only to discover it was fourth down.

There were several other definitive games in the Dickey era – the Rosebonnet win over UCLA, three in a row over the Tide, weeks and weeks in the top 10. Do not skip lightly over Dickey’s success.

Alas and alas, there was no way for Bill Battle to shake off the kick-return loss to North Texas State, the fake punt against Georgia and missed extra points against Duke. I prefer to remember the rain game against Auburn, smart punts on first down, 21-0 Tennessee victory.

Defining event for Majors

as coach was Jan. 1, 1986, Sugar Bowl, 35-7 romp over No. 2 Miami. I’m not sure the mighty Hurricane ever figured out what hit it.

Phillip Fulmer had a defining season, 1998, overtime victory over Florida, miraculous comeback against Arkansas, national championship triumph over Florida State in the Fiesta Bowl.

Derek Dooley had a defining game, the chaotic, last-gasp loss to LSU at Baton Rouge. Losing to a Kentucky team that had no quarterback was worse.

If the current Vols put the bite on the Bulldogs, it will be the first few feet – or maybe a city block – on Butch Jones Boulevard.

Words of grace and wisdom

in the faith, the grace that makes us the person God envisioned at our creation.

That is a process that takes the whole of the rest of our lives.

That is the part of God’s grace that is left out of the quote. It is true that God doesn’t care who you were.

It is very true that God cares who you are now.

Most of all, however, God cares who you are going to become. And who God wants us to become is perhaps best described by C. S. Lewis: “Christ says ‘Give me All. I don’t want so much of your time and so much of your money and so much of your work: I want You. I have not come to torment your natural self, but to kill it. No half-measures are any good. I don’t want to cut off a branch here

and a branch there. I want to have the whole tree down….The moment you put yourself in My hands, that is what you are in for. Nothing less, or other, than that. You have free will, and if you choose, you can push Me away. But if you do not push Me away, understand that I am going to see this job through.

Whatever suffering it may cost you in your earthly life, whatever inconceivable purification it may cost you after death, whatever it costs Me, ‘I will never rest, nor let you rest, until you are literally perfect – until my Father can say without reservation that He is well pleased with you, as He said He was well pleased with me. This I can do and will do. But I will not do anything less.’ ”

or bad, priceless gems or sore spots that never heal, unforgettable either way.

Robert R. Neyland had a really good one on Oct. 20, 1928, Tennessee against Alabama in Tuscaloosa.

The young coach had to be a salesman just to secure spot on the Tide schedule.

Marvin aAlabama was big time. It West had been to the Rose Bowl.

far, far ahead.

Alabama never got far, far ahead. Tennessee sophomore Gene McEver returned the opening kickoff 98 yards. The Vols won, 1513. The Tide was stunned.

Many of us consider this the real beginning of Tennessee football.

First defining game for coach Bowden Wyatt was Nov. 10, 1956, Tennessee against Georgia Tech in downtown Atlanta. The Yellow Jackets were ranked No. 2 in the country, the Vols No. 3.

It was one of the most intense and exciting battles in Tennessee history, selected some time later as the second greatest game ever played. I can’t remember what was supposedly better.

The outcome swung on

Then the son said to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you; I am no longer worthy to be called your son.” But the father said to his slaves, “Quickly, bring out a robe – the best one – and put it on him; put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. And get the fatted calf and kill it, and let us eat and celebrate; for this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found!”

(Luke 15: 21-24a NRSV) God doesn’t care who you were. God only cares who you are now. (“Cowboys and Aliens,” Scott Mitchell Rosenberg)

Wisdom comes to us through many avenues.

Sometimes we learn through reading and studying the Bible. Sometimes we hear a life-changing sermon. Occasionally the

oracle speaks through the voice of a good and faithful friend. Perhaps once in a lifetime, one hears the voice of God. (That is a column for another day).

It is not often, however,

Cross Currents

Lynn Pitts

that God’s wisdom comes to us through a Western movie.

“Cowboys and Aliens” is not my favorite Western. Not even close. But I was watching it one night with my husband, and when I heard the line quoted above, I grabbed a piece of paper and wrote it down: “God doesn’t care who you were; God only cares who you are now.”

There it is, I thought:

The Halls Business and Professional Association presents...

God’s grace in one sentence.

Except that there is one important part left out.

John Wesley famously understood the grace of God in three distinct ways: prevenient grace, justifying grace and sanctifying grace. Wesley believed and preached that God’s prevenient grace was the grace that goes before (hence the prevenience of it). It is the grace that gets our attention.

Justifying grace is the grace that sets us right with God, the grace that washes away our sins and makes us clean and whole.

Sanctifying grace is the grace that “grows us up”

Jim Brennan passes away

By Jim Tumblin Fountain City lost one of its finest last week when James A. “Jim” Brennan passed away.

Jim was born on the family farm in the Wheat Community on the border of Anderson and Roane counties on Feb. 10, 1918. Later, while he was away in the service, he would learn that his parents had been given two weeks to evacuate the property to make way for what was then known as the Clinton Engineer Works, eventually as the Oak Ridge Atomic Energy Plant.

He joined the Army in 1942 and was assigned to an artillery battalion. He first served in the South Pacific where his mortar company supported the front line troops often by firing on the

enemy both day and night.

In his closest shave of the entire war, his islandhopping transport ship was dive-bombed off the coast of the New Georgia Islands, a western province of the Solomon Islands northwest of Guadalcanal. The divebombers made one low-level attack over the ship and the crew was relieved to see them fly away without causing damage. However, they soon made another attack but again somehow failed to sink his ship.

While in the Pacific Theater, Jim experienced an episode of malaria which made the oppressive heat and humidity all the more intolerable. He would suffer from the extreme cold weather in Germany several months later.

Jim Brennan When he returned home for the Christmas holidays in 1944, he had to inform his mother that he was being sent to serve his last nine months in the campaign for the heartland of Germany and in the postwar occupation army. Service in both theaters in World War II was

so rare that he never met another veteran who did so.

Jim had a long career as a plumber and steam fitter for the H.K. Ferguson Company Engineers and Builders and later for the Engert Plumbing and Heating Company.

When he retired, Jim was able to devote more time to his work with his family’s genealogy. He was a descendant of James McMillan (1793-1866) who lived adjacent to the mansion now known as Magnolia Manor on Cedar Lane. McMillan kept a journal from 1825 to 1866 with frequent entries.

Perhaps his most significant entry appears in March 1844, in which he writes: “Planted 30 odd apple trees east of Mr. Bell west of my house also planted cedars along lane west of house

He was interred in the new north section of Lynnhurst Cemetery, which his father-in-law, William Lack, surveyor for Holt and Lack Civil Engineers, planned when it was begun in the 1920s. He was survived by his wife of 57 years, Mary Catherine Lack Brennan, children Jim Jr. and Donna, and sister Ruth.

When he was featured on John Becker’s “Service and Sacrifice” series on WBIRTV last year, Jim Brennan’s patriotism was evident. He and the other veterans of World War II lived up to Tom Brokaw’s description of them. They were truly our Greatest Generation.

James Albert Brennan passed away Sept. 21 at age 95. He was an active member of the Moulders Sunday school class at Central Baptist Church of Fountain City.

The Brennans were also longtime members of Fountain City Town Hall and rarely missed a meeting.

Roberts just can’t say ‘no’ to teaching “Just when I thought I was out … they pull me back in.”

– Michael Corleone, “The Godfather: Part III”

By Betsy Pickle Unlike Michael Corleone, Ernie Roberts has no one to blame but himself. To paraphrase another movie character, Ado Annie in “Oklahoma!,” he’s just a guy who can’t say no.

Roberts retired at the end of spring semester 2009 after 30 years of teaching – mostly math – in the Knoxville and Knox County school systems. That fall, he was asked to return to Bearden High School, where he’d taught since 1984, to fill in for a teacher on maternity leave. He hasn’t had a free semester since then.

“I think it’s the teamwork that I find rewarding,” says Roberts. “I wind up building relationships with students, parents and fellow staff members. You can put all these forces together and see something very productive as a result.

“I can leave each day and feel like something has been accomplished, sometimes on a very large scale, sometimes on a small scale.”

Roberts, who started out teaching Spanish but ended up instructing every type of math class except calculus during his career, says he loves it when a student gets it and has an “aha!” moment.

“When they get excited, I feed off that energy,” he says.

This semester, Roberts teaches two morning classes in honors geometry at Bearden. Each afternoon, he drives to Carter High to teach AP statistics.

Since “retiring,” he also has taught at Gibbs and Richard Yoakley while teaching almost every semester at Bearden. Sometimes he’s managed to schedule his teaching assignments in the afternoon.

“I was determined to sleep late one semester to see what it felt like to be retired,” he says. “Sleeping in – I enjoyed that.”

Born in Cincinnati, Roberts grew up in Cookeville and Raleigh, N.C., until his family returned to his father’s hometown of Knoxville when he was a sophomore.

He graduated from Central High School, then went to UT where he majored in foreign-language education (Spanish) and earned a math certification. He followed up with a master’s in mathematics.

He started his teaching career with three years at Fulton. The last two, he was junior-class sponsor and had to help organize the prom.

His extracurricular experience helped him dive in when he moved to Bearden. He immediately was tapped

to advise the whitewater-rafting club, which he did for three years.

Early on, Roberts was asked by then-guidance counselor Tal Hooker to help with Key Club. The group was in a slump, but it soon took off.

“The first year we had 43 members; within two to three years we had over 100,” he says. “I believe in 1995 we crossed the 200 mark. It was the first time any Key Club in the history of Tennessee and Kentucky Key Clubs hit 200.

“We had so many projects, so many hours.

What I found was, students want to be in a group that’s active.

It was important to be a member of that club. You’re working and helping other people, serving the school, serving the community.”

That’s the perfect way to describe Roberts. In addition to his school “work” – which includes announcing BHS basketball games and announcing the graduates at commencement – he’s vice president of the board of the Love Kitchen, vice president of News Sentinel Chari-

ties, cohost of the raffle tree at the Fantasy of Trees, associate drama director for the Nativity Pageant and newly elected board member of the WordPlayers.

He’s a regular cast member of the Society of Professional Journalists’ Front Page Follies, an occasional member of the Knoxville Opera Chorus, music director at Fifth Avenue Baptist Church and choir member at Central Baptist Church of Bearden. He’s on the home tour committee of Historic Old North Knoxville and is treasurer of the homeowners association in Black Mountain, N.C., where he bought a vacation home last year.

In his free time, he likes to hike and go rafting. He also acts in commercials and locally produced crime re-enactment shows. He’ll be seen this fall in a five-episode arc of a DIY show called “Uncondemned,” which chronicles the process he and some friends went through in renovating a house in their neighborhood.

“Flexibility is the best thing going in life,” says Roberts, who was one of six finalists for state Teacher of the Year in 2002 and has worked on numerous curriculum revisions at the state level for Algebra I.

Knox County Council PTA

Roberts is back advising the Bearden Key Club again. He’s faithful about helping members park cars at Ronald McDonald House for every UT home football game. From 1997 through 2012, the club raised more than $105,000 for Ronald McDonald House.

“The kids get out there and pull it together, and they have fun doing it,” he says. “People like to park with us.”

He plays down his role but admits, “As a geometry teacher, I know how to arrange cars.”

Roberts says he likes to keep things fun and light in the classroom and out, but the important thing is helping students learn.

“Contrary to popular belief, students are also usually very appreciative of the things you do for them,” he says. “It’s a warm feeling.”

NEWS FROM ANGELIC MINISTRIES

Help for families in crisis

By Nancy Whittaker Enthusiasm, dedication and commitment were all evident when Sandra Clark and I entered Angelic Ministries. Betsy Frazier, founder, says she was called to minister to families in crisis, “the working poor.”

Her husband, Mike, owns Knox Rail Salvage. In 2001, Mike placed a bid on the old Merita Bread factory at the corner of Central Street and Oklahoma. He and Betsy agreed that she would use part of the building for her warehouse and distribution center and he would use the remainder for storage. Betsy says that plan didn’t last long.

Angelic Ministries grew so rapidly that they were soon using the entire 65,000 square feet. As for the landlord, Betsy smiles

and says, “He’s never seen a dime.”

During our visit, we met some amazing people and will be sharing their stories in future editions.

Tony Earl, former pastor at Oakwood Baptist, is now pastoring at Angelic Ministries.

As Betsy and Tony gave us the grand tour, it became clear how much good Angelic Ministries has been doing. Last year, more than 5,000 families in crisis were helped. Betsy emphasized that they aren’t just giving out furniture, household goods, clothing, hygiene products and food. The people who come to them must be referred by a church or agency. Angelic Ministries wants to help these families with immediate

needs, but they also want to help them to become independent and get jobs.

We encountered volunteers and people working in the ministries’ enhancement program. We also learned how the public can help.

Pack up everything you aren’t using that is in good condition and drop off-

Monday through Thursday from 8- 4. There is a dropoff located at the Oklahoma entrance where you can also leave items on Fridays.

If you need help with large items such as furniture and mattresses, call and they will pick it up. Non-perishable food and hygiene products are also needed.

Fundraiser is Thursday

Abner’s Attic is catering a fundraising event from 3 to 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 3. Heavy hors d’oeuvres will be served and a silent auction held. Baskets which include get-away trips, sporting events and other fun items which will be auctioned along with vintage furniture. Money will be used for the ministries’ enhancement program.

During this event, you will also get to meet some of the people Betsy and her crew have helped. For tickets, call Cindy Krebs, 661-9772, or the office, 523-8884.

Tickets are also available at the door for $20.

A renewed East Towne Mall for all What’s happening at the mall? Is it worth a visit?

Wasn’t this thing up for sale a year ago? Does it have my stuff? Will I have to go to West anyway to find what I really need? Is it safe to shop there?

Business by

Nicky D.

You might be musing on some of these questions, as you brace against the crisp Fall air. You can feel your holiday shopping itch gathering force. What do you do? If you haven’t been there lately, you’re in for a pleasant surprise, with many more to come, at the renewed East Towne Mall.

(OK, the sign reads: “Knoxville Center,” but that’s just newfangled thinking to us old-timers). Wake up, Simon, it’s out East, not downtown or on Gay Street.

What’s shakin’ there? For starters, national mall operator Simon Properties has taken down the (figurative) “For Sale” sign that went up in the spring of 2012, and is committed to breathing new life into our 35-yearold business venue. The company has just placed experienced mall manager Robert O’Grady to head up its Knoxville operations.

Six months ago, Simon tagged an energetic on-site leasing manager from Nashville, Justin Sterling, to start filling in the once-empty storefronts with a broader offering for you. He is stationed at the mall. Since Justin’s arrival, 13 stores have been added to the 1 million square-foot mall. Several

more are in the wings.

You gotta check it out!

The Mall has more than 60 stores to choose from, and already does over $100 million in annual sales. Is it 100 percent back? Not yet, but they’re working on it. And, your trade there can help it get it better. You determine store outcomes ...

So, what’s cooking? The food court is picking up steam with new offerings like Sbarro Italian food, and the creative toppings and stuffings at The Burger Shop. A Chick-fil-A might make your day. More traditional sit-down dining is served by the Mandarin Chinese restaurant and a new buffet restaurant (rumored to be Farmers Family Restaurant) may be on the way.

Jewelry lovers will be pleased by the greatly expanded offerings at Signature Diamonds, displayed in their 4,700 square-foot store. Or maybe that special gift is at Jewel Palace or Prince Jewelers.

Fitness gurus can take advantage of expanded features at long-term tenant, The Rush. And smartphone junkies will find the 1,750 square-foot Verizon store or U.S. Cellular with a substantial presence at the mall.

Need a prom dress or tuxedo? They got ’em. A medical or dental need?

Yes, that’s there, too. In fact, the mall has a health care convenience theme that runs from traditional GNC supplements to convenience medical services under one roof. Select your new, funky eyeglasses at Lenscrafters, while you shop for the kids’ gifts (no peeking!).

For entertainment, catch a new movie release at the Regal Cinemas. Or get a cool skateboard or game at mall specialty stores. There are also new shops like the

With the recent addition of Dr. David O. Pickett, the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery practice of Dr. William R. High, founded in West Knoxville almost 35 years ago, has seen a dramatic transformation.

And there has been another kind of growth as well. The first week in September the practice opened new offices in a much larger space on the top floor at 248 North Peters Rd., next door to its previous location.

Patients are delighted with the new site, which offers a spacious and beautifully decorated reception area as cozy and comfortable as any home, and plenty of convenient parking right at the door.

Dr. High has always been known for the quality of his work and also for his attention to every detail of

patient care and with the addition of Dr. Pickett, patients will find the same level of care. The practice specializes in wisdom teeth, dental implants, bone grafts, extractions, TMJ treatment, biopsies and facial reconstruction. Dr. Pickett will be introducing cosmetic surgery and BOTOX injections to the practice’s menu of services.

Dr. High and Dr. Pickett also maintain trauma services at UT Medical Center, East Tennessee Children’s Hospital, and Ft. Sanders Parkwest Hospital and enjoy the challenges this entails. Both doctors proudly wear the UT Medical Center’s Guardian Angel pins, indicating that patients have donated to the Center in their honor.

Dr. Pickett is a native of Utah who holds both undergraduate and graduate degrees in microbiology

from Brigham Young University. He graduated from the University of Florida College of Dentistry in 2009 and received specialty training in Oral and Maxillofacial surgery at UT Medical Center, where one of his professors was Dr. High.

Dr. Pickett says he came to the profession of dentistry naturally.

His Dad is a dentist in Utah, “and I grew up working in the back.” Dr. Pickett and his wife, Erin, have a son and two daughters.

He says the decision to move to Knoxville was an easy one. “It seems like a family-oriented town – a good place to raise a family. We’re very happy here.”

Office hours for High and Pickett Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery are 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, 691-0918.

Art-a-palooza goes inside

By Cindy Taylor

Classical guitarist Phil Weaver “weaves� his magic.

There is no doubt that the inclement weather Sept. 21 was to blame for a smaller-than-expected crowd at the Fountain City Art Center Art-a-palooza. Still, those who braved the constant drizzle were treated to fabulous art and entertainment.

The three-day fall festival ran Sept. 19-21 and drew crowds on Thursday and Friday for indoor events. Most outdoor events were cancelled on Saturday due to the weather. Many featured artists were still in attendance inside the art center and the entertainment was fabulous.

Folks could enjoy a lunch of barbecue, drink and chips for only $5 while browsing and listening to artists such as classical guitarist Phil Weaver and national dulcimer champion Tim Simek.

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

Knoxville man ďŹ nds the right answer at Fort Sanders Regional Feeling tired and out of breath, Joe Mackin of Knoxville, 69, mentioned those symptoms to his endocrinologist during a routine visit in July for his Type 2 diabetes. “Now that I’m looking back on it, you see things much clearer. If you’ve got Type 2 diabetes, you’ve got to pay attention because it can lead to heart problems,â€?

Mackin said.

The doctor talked him into having a stress test on his heart, which measures blood ow to the heart muscle at rest and during exercise. “I unked it,â€? said Mackin. “Then they did an angiogram in cardiologist Dr. (George M.) Krisle’s ofďŹ ce, to look inside my veins. I unked that, too. I was 100 percent clogged on my main artery, and the other two were 75 to 80 percent blocked.â€?

After that, the best course of action was coronary bypass surgery, also called Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG). During this surgery, a healthy piece of vein is taken from the leg or other area of the body and is grafted onto the blocked coronary artery to “bypass� the blockage.

CABG requires cutting through the chest wall. It’s major surgery and requires weeks of recovery time.

Knowing that, Mackin struck a bargain with his doctors. “Well I had already planned to go to my sis-

Sara Gray Mackin, Joe Mackin and their 13 year old bulldog, CB

ter’s wedding in Chicago,� he said. “I told them, ‘Look, I’ve made it this far. I’d like to go to Mackinac Island for the wedding.’ “But I was pretty careful.

I got a packet of nitroglyc-

erin for the trip,� he said.

Nitroglycerin dilates blood vessels and is used in emergencies to improve blood ow to the heart.

Off he went, enjoying the wedding in Michigan. When

he got back, Mackin headed straight for Fort Sanders and heart surgery on July 25 with his cardiothoracic surgeon Dr. Lacy Harville.

The surgery went smoothly, even though

Mackin had a slight setback after surgery. “There was a nurse named Michelle on my oor, and she picked up before anybody else that I had water in my lungs because of

her acute ears and stethoscope,� he said. “She was able to correct it, she was outstanding. It might have turned into early stage pneumonia, but they treated it very quickly.�

Mackin was in the hospital ďŹ ve days. After returning home, he started heart rehabilitation sessions at Fort Sanders, which he continues today. “It’s a great program because they really know what they’re doing. I’m doing a very responsible threepronged attack of exercise, better diet and lower stress,â€? said Mackin.

Plus, he said he is taking care of his diabetes more closely. “Before, I knew a lot of information but I didn’t pay attention to it. I didn’t watch my diabetes closely enough,� he said.

Mackin said he would recommend Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center to anyone who needs cardiac care. “It was a top-notch experience, triple A,� he said. “From the doctor all the way down to the people who took care of the room and cleaned it up, everybody was tremendous. “They really seem to have a commitment to total care, starting with surgery and continuing with the postsurgery care. A lot of times you don’t know what you’re getting into until you get there,� said Mackin. “I just feel very fortunate I got the right people.�

Fort Sanders Cardiac Surgery earns 3-Star Award For the second time in a row, Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center earned a 3-Star Award from the Society of Thoracic Surgeons.

For the most recent analysis of national data from January 2012 through December 2012, Fort Sanders’ performance was again in the highest quality tier. This

national designation means that Fort Sanders is among the top 10 percent of cardiac surgery centers in the United States, based on a complex set of measurements considering severity of illness, complications from surgery, hospital stay and overall outcomes afterward. “In Washington, they consider this the gold standard for looking at how well cardiac surgery programs do,� said cardiothoracic surgeon Dr. Lacy Harville. “It’s great that we got this, but it really speaks to the dedication of the

whole heart team.�

Harville explained that it takes dozens of staff members, from surgeons and nurses to technicians and staff, to care for each patient. “It’s just all of us, taking care of patients,� Harville said. “We have put a lot of processes in place to get better and better at what we do, and minimize the likelihood of problems occurring.�

The award focused on coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, commonly called “cabbage.� It is a surgical procedure in which arteries or veins from other parts

“We have put a lot of processes in place to get better and better at what we do.� – Dr. Lacy Harville of the body are grafted onto heart arteries to bypass blockages.

It is a very detailed surgery, and many things can go wrong, said Harville. “If you do enough high risk surgery, which heart surgery is, you’re not always going to have a

great outcome,� he said. “So you want someone with a great batting average, and Fort Sanders is really good at all positions.� “You have to look at more than just numbers, but patients are in very good hands at Fort Sanders.�

Art Gone Wild at the Knoxville Zoo The Knoxville Zoo recently tapped some unusual talent for its latest fundraiser, Art Gone Wild.

The animals themselves – including rhinos, raccoons, beavers, penguins, elephants, zebras, gibbons, chimpanzees, gorillas, baboons, lions, tigers, red pandas and a variety of reptiles – did the paintings, which were then offered to art enthusiasts from all over East Tennessee.

Tina Rolen, assistant director of marketing for the zoo, said that proceeds will go toward funding the zoo’s enrichment program, which focuses on the animals’ complete well-being. Daily mental and physical stimulation is provided by the use of interesting objects, scents
