Al Alumni iA Association i ti honors Halls veterans killed in action By Jake Mabe They came seeking solace. They came to share stories. They came to remember. The Halls High Alumni Association held a special ceremony last week to dedicate the monument near the school entrance at the flag pole memorializing former students killed in World War II and the Vietnam War. Families and friends of the fallen spoke. “A few years ago (former Association president) Ron Wallace and I got to talking about starting a Hall of Fame,” said former president David Wayland. “Principal Mark Duff said it ought to include those who were killed in action. We decided to raise funds to have a granite monument built with their names on it.” Three Halls students – Jack Copeland, John W. Johnson and Ross Peterson – were killed during World War II. “Jack Copeland dropped out of school and got his parents’ permission to enlist,” Wayland said. “We couldn’t locate any of his family, but his friend Fred Weaver gave us some details about him. Jack was a small guy and became a tail-gunner. His plane was shot down while bombing German factories. He was first buried in Europe, then his family brought him here and he was reinterred at Lynnhurst Cemetery.” Betty Johnson said her brother, John W. Johnson, was the oldest of seven children. “He was killed in the Battle of the Bulge,” she said. Gene Peterson said his brother Ross volunteered and joined the Air Force. “He was on the way back from his 50th (and last) mission when German antiaircraft fire brought

My daddy had his body brought back here and buried at Lynnhurst.” Four Halls High students – Bruce Blakely, Chandler Edwards, Harold Watson and Jerry Weaver – were killed during the Vietnam War.

Bruce, a U.S. Marine, volunteered to walk point and was killed from fire by a U.S. squad that was 1500 meters out of position.

Mid-term report card: By Betty Bean Last week, Gloria Johnson put both her jobs on the block by inviting her fellow teachers to speak out about their grievances with Knox County Schools. As a state representative, she was handing her political opponents a potential opportunity to brand her ineffective, a troublemaker. As a lifelong educator, she was risking the ire of those who sign her paycheck. Gloria Johnson rallies the troops But her colleagues answered the call. Dozens of teachers attended a Monday night planning session. Most had never spoken use their names. But Johnson publicly about their grievances, helped them screw up their courand many – but not all – were ap- age and hone messages to present at the Wednesday night school prehensive about speaking out.

Teachers – A Superintendent – Fail School board – Incomplete dismissed and Johnson would become a statewide laughingstock. Tension rose that afternoon. But by the time board chair Lynne Fugate opened Wednesday’s meeting, almost every seat on the main floor and some 35 in the balcony were occupied, and almost everybody wore red. One by one, they presented their concerns, complaints and demands: A Spanish teacher talked about being asked to speak less Spanish during her evaluation because her evaluator didn’t speak the language.

ered solid data; others presented first-hand accounts of how the system’s emphasis on endless high-stakes testing was impacting their students. All spoke with conviction. The atmosphere was creative and collegial. They vowed to have each other’s backs, and they decided to wear red to symbolize their resolve. As good as the Monday meeting felt, Wednesday night would tell the tale. The 60 teachers at the planning session would be swallowed up in the large assembly room at the City County Building, which seats 310 people on the floor and another 136 in the balcony. If the teachers didn’t turn out in numbers, their concerns would be

Owen Peterson said that his best friend, Chandler Edwards, was drafted as a conscientious objector. Chandler’s father was the Rev. Ova Edwards, pastor of the pacifist Church of the Brethren. “He did his duty and volunteered to do community work as an alternative to military service,” Peterson said. Chandler worked in International Voluntary Service Rural Development, helping in crop and livestock production and in the construction of farm buildings, schools, dispensaries, airstrips, sanitation and food preservation, and social welfare in Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos. He was killed as a result of procommunist Pathet-Lao enemy action on April 24, 1969, while the Green Berets were moving him and others to Laos. Harold Watson was 21 years old when he was killed in Vietnam, said his brother, Gilbert. “He was a fun-loving guy who enjoyed life and loved cars,” Gilbert said. “I’ve often wondered had he lived what he would have done with his life. He’s still alive in my heart and in our hearts. It’s hard sometimes at Christmastime when he’s not there.” Harold earned two Bronze Stars and the Purple Heart. Gary Weaver said his older brother, Jerry, was killed by shrapnel in August 1968. “It was a great loss.” “We appreciate all who remember him,” said Jerry’s sister, Cathy Weaver. “I don’t want him to be forgotten.”

Tumblin gets surprise honor The Shopper’s own Dr. Jim Tumblin was gunning for revenge after being surprised with his induction into the Central High Wall of Fame.

Libby Morgan “I want to know if you knew about this,” he charged at me. “I’m putting everyone who knew on my payback list!” Of course I feigned total ignorance. Getting on Jim’s bad side is a place I never want to be. The ceremony included video presentations by David Dixon of the three preannounced honorees, the late C. E. Harris, the lovely Sylvia Williams and the lively Stephen Land, followed by a video about Tumblin’s life with an on-screen so-called “sound check” aka a sly trick by Dixon. A few weeks ago, Tumblin was asked to come down to the art center when Sylvia was to be interviewed so Dixon could check levels and such. Somehow Dixon got Tumblin to talk about his life during the “tests.” Tumblin was totally duped. ■

Reading Jim Farmer’s book reminds me of the first scene in “Oh Brother, Where Art Thou.” You start in, thinking you might have to pay attention to the point or the plot, but not far into the opening, you realize it’s all for fun and you just need to sit back and enjoy it.

Report card so often by outsiders that students have asked why so many adult “stalkers” are in the room. A special education teacher said that forcing reading-disabled students to take written tests dooms them to failure (and probably violates federal law). Others spoke out about: ■ An unfair evaluation which includes 61 indicators on a rubric. ■ Students being taken out of class to be coached for tests while missing instruction time. ■ Being called “human capital” by the administration (which boasts an actual position labeled Director of Human Capital Strategy). ■ Contacting the administration with specific problems and never getting

From page A-1 a response. A few demanded that Superintendent Jim McIntyre be dismissed, and many applauded those demands. The presence of some 300 teachers put the lie to the claim that “most” teachers have warmed up to the atmosphere of evaluation and high-stakes testing. The teachers showed up, spoke out and made their points in a forceful, intelligent and courageous fashion. Teachers’ grade: A Afterwards, McIntyre gave a 9-minute interview during which he said it was great to hear from all those terrific teachers, although “we try to create opportunities for feedback all the time.” He vowed to continue to help the teachers adjust to all the “changes” and dis-

Christi Branscom handles two jobs Christi Branscom seems to have settled easily into her job as chief operating officer and deputy to the mayor, replacing Eddie Mannis.

Victor Ashe

She is visible in solving issues such as the initial foolish decision to change the camera lights at the entrance to Turkey Creek shopping which developer John Turley highlighted. She corrected the error. What has gone unmentioned is that her old job as senior director has gone unfilled. The Rogero Administration has not made an official announcement, but it is evident it is not going to be filled which will save city taxpayers over $160,000 a year since the two jobs of Mannis and Branscom have effectively been combined without any public acknowledgement. Frankly, both positions were not needed and Branscom doing both jobs with only a $500 annual pay hike proves it. More efficiency and cost cutting in city government is to be admired and applauded. Meanwhile the Rogero administration is being tight-lipped about life after Angela Starke, communications director, who departs in December for Florida where her husband has a new job. Discussion ranges from simply filling the position with someone new, elevating Jesse Mayshark who makes $40,000 a year less than Starke or re-arranging the whole operation by merging it into a new department. Mayshark has been the go-to person for city information. The next person may not make the same salary which Starke has had. Stay tuned. Complicating matters is that Starkeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s departure leaves the Rogero Administration without an African-American leading an operating department. Tank Strickland, who has worked for four mayors, continues with community relations but it is one-person office.

Betty Bean OK, then. Meanwhile, staunch Haslam supporters like the Tennessee Medical Association and the hospital lobbyists, who evidently havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t found tort reform to be the solution to their financial problems, are ramping up the pressure to get him to sign on to the Medicaid deal so they can get reimbursed for treating the poor and the sick. Vanderbilt Medical Center is getting ready to lay off 1,000 workers; rural hospitals are threatening to close, leaving Haslam to take the fall when communities end up without access to medical care. This is devil and the deep blue sea territory, and surely not what Haslam anticipated when he rolled over

Ramsey in the 2010 GOP primary with 47 percent of the vote. Ramseyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 22 percent couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even beat Zach Wampâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 29 percent. Should he have realized that Ramsey would be holding him hostage before heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d finished his first term? Probably, given the makeup of the upper house of the General Assembly, which is dominated by what John McCain calls the â&#x20AC;&#x153;wacko-birdâ&#x20AC;? faction. Think maybe Haslam wishes he were back in Knoxville where he could count on a collegial, nonpartisan City Council to pretty much endorse his every wish â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Knoxville, the running of which he could delegate to trusted deputies Larry Martin and Bill Lyons while he spent two years shaking hands from Memphis to Mountain City trying to be governor â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Knoxville, where reporters were friendly, their bosses

deferential and there was no problem a phone call from his daddy couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go a long way toward solving? Heck yes. He had a sweet ride over here. Maybe heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been thinking about that since last March, when, after months of deliberation, internal debate and just plain dithering, he announced what everybody already pretty much knew â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that he was turning down $1.4 billion the federal government stood ready to fork over to expand Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act. No healthcare for you, 300,000 uninsured Tennesseans. And if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re waiting on that Tennessee Plan, which is supposed to leverage those federal dollars to buy private health insurance for poor people, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hold your breath. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a will oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; the wisp. Bill Haslam is not the most powerful guy in Nashville.

Historic photograph is part of Knoxvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heritage 18-year-old Emma Fanz, the daughter of his friend, Knoxville sausage magnate Ignaz Fanz, as his Madonna. His daughter, Josephine, was given the lofty role of baby Jesus. The infant, Bakerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother, was frightened by the noise of the clanging trolley during the first photo shoot. To accommodate the tearful baby, the portrait was shot on a quiet Sunday afternoon, he says. The photo was a huge commercial success. Thousands of sepia-toned prints were sold in the U.S. and Europe, and a few were hand-tinted, says Baker. Some questioned the authenticity of the color version, which highlighted Josephineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blue eyes. According to Baker, the Madonna and Child portrait was Knafflâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s masterpiece. Exhibited in Chatauqua, New York, it was written up in a national arts magazine called Pen & Brush. The critic called the photo â&#x20AC;&#x153;a signal success.â&#x20AC;? One hundred years after the portrait debuted, Hallmark used the image on two Christmas cards, along with

the text from Isaiah 9: â&#x20AC;&#x153;For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given ...â&#x20AC;? Fanz has her own place in the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history. She married Will Price, and

remember when then-editor Harry Moskos took off after Sheriff Tim Hutchison, accusing him of misconduct. The criticism was so excessive that Hutchison caught a backlash wave, which elected him over Rudy Bradley by 5,000 votes and even propelled Bill Frist over Bob Corker in the GOP primary for U.S. Senate. (The Sentinel endorsed Corker.)

â&#x2013; Amy Broyles was a clear winner when attacked by fellow commissioner R. Larry Smith. Seems Smith didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want Broyles attending the state Economic Summit for Women in Nashville. Smith said he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see why Knox County had to pick up the tab ($130 or so) for her expenses. Even the League of Women Voters weighed in for Broyles.

they were one of the first families in the area to own an automobile. She became Knoxvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first car-wreck widow when Price blew a tire and plummeted into a ravine. She later married jeweler Albert Hope, and they built Hopecote, which is now owned by the University of Tennessee and used as a guest house. Ironically, she never had children but enjoyed the acclaim that came from being Knafflâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Madonna. Knafflâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son, Samuel, assumed control of the business after his father passed away in 1938. The studio evolved into a framing business that lasted until 1987. Edward Hurst Jr., a grandson of Knaffl, was a noted portrait painter who attended school in London and studied with Knoxvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Catherine Wiley. Baker, who lived with his parents and grandparents in the Fort Sanders neighborhood, is a lifelong resident of Knoxville. He worked at Woodruffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on Gay Street for 45 years. For Baker, the Knaffl Madonna and Child is a family treasure. With the help of his son, Kent Baker, he is selling prints and Christmas cards featuring the photo as a tribute to his mother.

Tennessee basketball? Myth or maybe? We have been told this will be Cuonzo Martinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best basketball team at Tennessee. That wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take much. The previous two lost in the opening round of the NIT, at home, to Mercer and MTSU.

Marvin West

Perhaps you have heard that three Volunteers, Jordan McRae, Jarnell Stokes and Jeronne Maymon, are all-Southeastern Conference types. One might even make all-America.

Hope so. Earlier, there was fear of hype overload and excessive expectations. Not so much now. Florida and Kentucky and maybe Alabama are projected as superior in the conference. Tennessee opened at No. 26 in the Associated Press preseason top-25 poll. One computer forecast says 33 in the country. The great Dick Vitale, breathless with excitement, says Tennessee is No. 23 until further notice. His analysis was powerful: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stokes will be a key up front. A healthy Maymon will help.â&#x20AC;? I had no idea. Here are the unspoken keys to this being a good team: Antonio Barton, fifth-

Robert Hubbs or McRae or Richardson hit the required percentage of threes? Martin thinks Tennessee will be a pretty good team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the most important thing is not to get caught up in what other people are sayingâ&#x20AC;Śwe know what we need to do to be successful.â&#x20AC;? Coach wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t talking about me. I hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t said anything at the time. There are encouraging signs of success â&#x20AC;&#x201C; more talent, more experience, more depth, more matchup flexibility. Leadership is strengthened with Maymonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s return. He tried during his sit-out season but there is a significant difference in talking a good game and playing one. Maymon can play. Stokes has lost a few pounds and appears a bit

quicker. He got that message last spring when NBA evaluators shocked him with several reasons he should remain in college. At heart, Jarnell is a gladiator who goes hard to the boards. He generally maintained effort last season even when he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the ball. Stokes is a winner if the refs will let him breathe. McRae is one of the better developmental stories in the country. As Vitale likes to say, he has come a long way, baby. He may actually be an NBA scorer. Hubbs, top new talent, is also a shooter. Alas and alas, Tennessee must play with just one ball at a time. That probably means more games will be won or lost on defense.

of delay and confusion, one cannon ... in the fort fired two quick rounds of canister into the storming party, but quickly closing their ranks the Confederates reached the ditch and chased away the gunners exposed on the platform. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The rapid advance in almost complete darkness over terrain filled with obstacles and converging furrows brought the attacking force in a packed mass whose officers could no longer distinguish their own men. Hesitating only momentarily, the men swarmed into the ditch which they had been told The assault on Fort Sanders (Nov. 29, 1863). Gen. James Long- was no more than four feet streetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 4,000 battle-tested veterans of the war in the east at- deep.

very high with cotton bales. Many of the men, not knowing what else to do, fired into the embrasures at any of the Federals foolish enough to show their heads.â&#x20AC;? In 20 minutes the battle was finished. There was nothing for the men in the ditch to do but surrender. Longstreet suffered about 800 casualties, Burnside only 13. Longstreet took a few days to assemble his wounded and retreated through Strawberry Plains and Mossy Creek (presentday Jefferson City) to Russellville. There he spent two miserable months with record cold weather and inadequate supplies before he proceeded back to the battlefields of Virginia. The Union army controlled Knoxville for the remainder of the war. Both armies had stripped East Tennessee of its foodstuff and livestock. Guerrilla warfare, hunger and deprivation marked the period.

year senior imported from Memphis as a surplus Tiger, must move the ball at a faster pace, get out on the break, feed the big bullies inside. Stokes really needs a short jump shot. Has he developed one? Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the mythor-maybe parts: Can Tennessee guard guards? Perhaps Barton or freshman Darius Thompson or multitalented Josh Richardson or somebody deeper on the bench can make critical stops. The previous two teams boosted several opposing guards toward fame and fortune. Trae Golden, since departed with only rumored explanation, was at the fore-

front of that problem. He lacked quick, nimble feet. But he could hit clutch free throws. Replacing poise at the foul line is another unspoken key. In theory, there will be more free-throwing. Officials have been told to remove some of the toughness from defense. If it really happens, that is bad news. Defensive toughness, not yet developed, was supposedly one of Cuonzoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hallmarks. Here is the other unspoken key to significant improvement, another myth-or-maybe segment: Has Tennessee developed an offensive strategy for attacking zones? If it remains the same, bombs away, can highly regarded newcomer

The Battle of Fort Sanders In November, 1863, two battle-scarred generals â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Union Gen. Ambrose Burnside and Confederate Gen. James Longstreet â&#x20AC;&#x201C; faced one another in the Knoxville Campaign.

Jim Tumblin

In an attempt to buy time for his engineers to put the final touches on fortifications in Knoxville, Burnside planned an orderly withdrawal of about 5,000 troops he had detached to Loudon, southwest of the city. They were to march to Lenoir Station (now Lenoir City), through a crucial road crossing at Campbellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Station, and into the protection of his positions in Knoxville. Longstreet, with about 12,000 combined infantry and artillery, advanced northward from Chattanooga on a parallel route. The race was on, made more difficult by the heavy rain that was falling and the resulting mud. The Federal troops won the race to the crossing by some 15 minutes. The sharp contest that occurred at Campbellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Station on Nov. 16, 1863, resulted in 338 Union casualties to 174 for the Confederates. After much delay for reconnaissance and preparations for another battle and because of the terrible weather, Longstreet finally scheduled the assault on Fort Sanders, where he thought Burnside was most vulnerable. Fort Sanders was constructed on an eminence near downtown Knoxville, at present-day 17th St. and Laurel Ave. The staging area for the Confederate attack was northwest of the fort, near present-day Forest Ave. and the Norfolk and Southern Railroad tracks. Both sides lacked food, adequate clothing, and shoes. After 17 days of siege, Burnsideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s army had been reduced to quarter rations. The fort was surrounded by a ditch 6-8 feet deep but appeared to be only 3-4 feet deep. Some planks had been placed across it and, from distant Confederate observation posts, troops were observed crossing easily but they were using the planks. The earthen walls were 13 feet high in most places with cotton bales wrapped in rawhide piled on top to protect the riflemen. Longstreet had been warned he would need scaling ladders, but he was deceived by the apparent shallow depth of the ditch and did not prepare them. For perhaps 30 to 80 yards in front of the northwest bastion that was selected for the assault, there were 18-inch tree stumps between which the engi-

neers had stretched telegraph wire to trip and delay the attackers. Gen. Porter Alexander, Confederate artillery commander, had 34 guns in the Knoxville area. Burnside had 51. Inside the fort, 1st Lt. Samuel Benjamin had 335 Union riflemen and 105 artillery working 12 cannons. Longstreet commanded 4,000 Confederate veterans of Robert E. Leeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaigns in the East (almost a 10-to-1 ratio). His first assault troops crouched low and approached the fort at dawn on Nov. 29, 1863. Says author D.G. Seymour: â&#x20AC;&#x153;With a rush and a yell the surging gray column advanced up the hill toward Ft. Sanders. As they neared the fort the leading lines crashed through brush

Success! 4-H group maps Big Ridge trails By Libby Morgan Perseverance pays. After a false start this summer, a group of 4-Hers has hiked all 11 miles of trails at Big Ridge State Park while successfully downloading GPS coordinates with software by a company called Esri, for Environmental Systems Research Institute. The kids are creating an accurate map of the park trails for printed maps, online info and eventually a mobile app. A “blueway” around the lakeshore of the park will also be shown as a trail, according to project leader Martin Dickey. Mapping done by the group will be enhanced with information provided by O’Neill Bergeron, who walked the park this summer to find flora, fauna and points of interest. Bergeron, a Union County resident, is an ecology student at Princeton.

A grant written by Julie Graham through the Union County Chamber of Commerce enabled the funding for the software. “We’ve got a lot of work to do to the files, cleaning up the images and smoothing the lines we traveled, and a lot of decisions to make on how to present the information,” says Dickey. “We’re working to develop maps for Big Ridge visitors and another version for an Esri contest.” Dickey attended the Esri international conference earlier this year, where he represented the National 4-H Council and accepted an award for Special Achievement in GIS for the council. “I learned a lot there. I was there among 14,000 professionals using Esri’s software. We listened to the CEO’s dreams about what can be done with GIS software, how 911 operators use it to track ambulances and

lots more uses. He talked for hours,” Dickey says. The group plans to raise funds so the three older project participants, Dickey, Nathanael Kadron and Dakota Sherritze, can attend the Esri conference in San Diego in July. ■

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

symptoms of periodontal disease, some patients will have few symptoms while significant bone destruction is occurring below the surface of the gums. A fact that is surprising to many is that more adults in our population today suffer loss of teeth due to periodontal disease than to tooth decay. A visit to one's dentist for examination every six months is highly recommended.

faith The end of war When he was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will this be, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age? Jesus answered them, “Beware that no one leads you astray. For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Messiah!’ and they will lead many astray. And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars; see that you are not alarmed; for this must take place, but the end is not yet. (Matthew 24: 3-6 NRSV)

Fountain City UMC member Carolyn Latham works the baked goods booth at the church fundraiser.

Fun and games fundraiser and Fountain City UMC By Cindy Taylor Flower Power, Aged and Passé, Shabby Chic, Let’s Play, What did you Say? and General Store “Yum Yum.” Sounds more like fun and games than a church fundraiser – and it was both. Organizer Julie Knoefel and United Methodist Women volunteers at Fountain City United Methodist Church came up with unique names for the different booths to explain what each had to offer during the one-day fundraiser Nov. 2. The event, which began in the 1950s and is held each odd year, is possibly the longest running church bazaar in Knoxville. “It takes the whole church to make this happen,” said Knoefel. “Being creative with our sale after the 1990s has been challenging since not many people make jams, jellies and homemade goodies anymore.” A featured item was handbags made by the women of the only United Methodist Church in Albania. Seven bags were avail-

able and all were original designs. The United Methodist Men served food in The Bistro. Booths offered new and used items, including toys, jewelry, antiques, books, baked goods, and arts and crafts. More than $6,000 was raised for both local and international missions.

Mike Henderson from Henderson Settlement brought handcrafted items to sell.

At the eleventh hour, on the eleventh day of the eleventh month, in the year 1918, World War I – the “war to end all wars” – officially ended. It was only two years ago that the last U. S. veteran of that war died: Frank Buckles, of West Virginia. Twenty-nine years after the “war to end all wars,” World War II began. Ironically enough, Mr. Buckles would become a prisoner of war in that conflict. After his service in World War I, he took up a career as a ship’s officer on merchant vessels. He was captured by the Japanese in the Philippines during World War II, and held prisoner of war for more than three years before he was freed by U. S. troops. So far, wars have not ended war, nor have they been accurate predictors of the end of the world. Jesus was right: “the end is not yet.” So the end of the world is somewhere in the future. Tomorrow? Next week? A millennium from now? Two millennia? If this little blue planet is home, and we are unable, so far, to escape its environs en masse, why can’t we stop killing each other? Rodney King asked plaintively after the riots in Los Angeles, “Why can’t we just get along?” Well, it seems we just can’t. Because we can’t

seem to get over those seven deadly sins: wrath, greed, sloth, pride, lust, envy and gluttony, all of which (it seems to me) boil down to selfishness. So when a man gives his life for a cause larger than himself – say, the salvation of the world – it is an act of total heroic unselfishness. We all need heroes. At times, history provides an opportunity for men and women to do heroic things. Sometimes God provides such an opportunity for us – you and me: a chance to stand up and be counted, to take a stand, to perform a service, to do a task, to be a hero. There are heroes among us – quiet heroes we don’t notice – who are faithfully doing the right things, the necessary things, the difficult things. It is my prayer that we will watch for them, study them and emulate them. And if we are called on to be a hero, even for a moment, we will hear that call, answer the summons and faithfully do our best. pointment: 305-9753. ■ UT Medical Center’s Mobile Mammography Unit will offer digital screenings at Corryton Senior Center, 9331 Davis Drive, from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Monday, Dec. 16.

Shopper-News Presents Miracle Makers

Teachers get fired up By Betsy Pickle Teachers from throughout the area got a lift last Tuesday night at Reach Them To Teach Them at the Tennessee Theatre. From a Petros supper and gift bags to a program featuring sports broadcaster Roy Firestone and radio host Hallerin Hilton Hill, the evening was all about celebrating and reinvigorating educators, and it appeared to be a huge success. “It was great,” Jackie Jacobsen, ELL teacher at Belle Morris Elementary School, said of Firestone’s presentation. “I thought it was very entertaining. I really appreciated it and the inspiration that it gives us all.” Hill drew on humorous and poignant remembrances from his childhood to illustrate the impact teachers can have on students. Firestone, a seven-time Emmy Award winner, used video clips of sports triumphs and bloopers, along with some impressive singing and mimicry chops, to drive home the “Field of Dreams”inspired message, “If you build it, they will become.” Buzz Thomas, president of the Great Schools Partnership, served as MC. Scotty Hicks, 8th grade social studies teacher at Maryville Middle School, performed his poem “I Am a Teacher,” and the FreshWind Youth Mass Choir, directed by John Jackson, sang two songs for the audience. Amy Crawford, a 7th grade English teacher at West Valley Middle School and founder of Reach Them To Teach Them, was exhausted but elated at the end of the evening. “Our very first event about eight years ago, we had about 500 people,” said Crawford. “Tonight, we had in the neighborhood of 1,600.” The program drew teachers from Blount, Cocke, Hamblen, Jefferson, Knox and Roane counties. “We had 1,100 teachers from Knox County preregistered,” Crawford said. “Every single Knox County school was represented here tonight, so we’re really excited. We think that what we’re doing is going to have an impact on the lives of the kids that we teach every day.” Crawford said she thought that they had achieved all three of their stated goals. “The first goal is to appreciate – that every teacher who comes to a Reach Them To Teach Them event feels appreciated. The second goal is that they feel inspired, that they find something that they can take with them back into their classrooms and use with their students or their sports teams or their youth groups. “And the third component of

We feel like that’s really where the community will change – when teachers leave here and they’re ready to challenge themselves to look at what they do in the classrooms and the role that they play in the lives of kids in a different way than they did before.”

Volunteers Lynn White, assistant principal at Gibbs Elementary, and Connie Simpson, 2nd grade teacher at Sequoyah Elementary, hand out teacher gifts.

Rich in color with contemporary designs, her inspiration comes from nature, architecture and cultural arts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Polymer clay is a material that allows me to have more control over the shape, texture, and color of my jewelry designs. Other components of my work include stones, fibers, glass, pearls, and metals â&#x20AC;&#x201C; sterling silver, 14k goldfilled, 14k gold, and occasionally brass or copper,â&#x20AC;? says Kristine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I apply various surface designs after hand-shaping each piece of polymer clay, and then the piece is cured, sanded and polished to create a

News from the Register of Deeds

News from two moms

Real estate market holds ground By Sherry Witt After a very strong summer, the local real estate market returned to a more normal pace in October. How e ve r, property sales still Witt easily surpassed those of a year ago with 850 property transfers in Knox County. The market outperformed last Octoberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s number of 774 sales, and was only 20 off the pace set in September. The total value of land sold in October was just over $165 million. While that was about $20 million short of the September total, it was ahead of October 2012 by about $25 million. Historically, real estate activity slows down somewhat during the last quarter of the year as cooler weather and shorter days make construction more challenging. Mortgage lending mar-

kets continued to trend slower in October as around $256 million was loaned against real estate, $13 million less than September. Last October more than $336 million was loaned against real property. Mortgage lending tends to fluctuate, and it appears that the latest refinancing surge may have reached a saturation point as national interest rates have inched upward. The largest real estate transfer of the month was a deed for property at 5032 Lyons View Pike which sold for $4,675,000. The largest mortgage transaction was a Trust Deed by Sachchidanand Hotel Papermill financing property on Papermill Road in the amount of $9.4 million. On this Veterans Day, I would like to extend a special thanks to all the men and women who have served our country in the military. You are truly our nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finest, and your sacrifice is not forgotten.

The newly formed East Towne Area Business and Professional Association met last week to elect officers and adopt a slogan. ETABPA’s vision is to “Foster a positive image and enhance customer traffic through partnerships, advertising, media and government interaction; making the East Towne Area your business destination.” Sharon Davis, a Realtor with Hammontree Real Estate, conducted the first meeting, and city council member Nick Della Volpe encouraged everyone to bring businesses together to have “one voice.” Kaelyn Farmer, the manager of Buckle in Knoxville Center, was elected president. Other officers include Janie Wilson, vice president; Tammy White, treasurer; and Mike Davis secretary. Davis promises the December meeting will be “super exciting” and encourages representatives from businesses along the I-640 corridor to attend. The meeting will be held at the Harvest Park Community Center, 8a.m. Wednesday, Dec. 4.

Petree’s Flowers: ‘We care’

Ringing phones, customers picking up orders and designers creating beautiful arrangements were all happening at Petree’s Flowers on Magnolia when I walked in. Donna Lunsford, owner, continued getting out a last minute order. In 1938, Donna’s dad started Petree’s just up the street from the current location, 3805 Magnolia Ave. She and her brother, who is now retired, took over in the ’80s and opened a second location on Broadway. Donna’s mom, Mary, is 89 years young and still active in the business. When asked what makes Petree’s different, Donna said it is simple, “We care.” Some of

their employees have been there for over 30 years. Petree’s has seven designers and four delivery trucks on the road serving all of Knox County and the surrounding areas. There is no charge to meet with a bridal consultant. Fresh flowers are shipped directly to Petree’s twice per week and special orders are always welcome. What about unusual requests? Donna says, “every day,” and said that as long as it is feasible, they will make it happen. Their busiest time of year is Valentine’s Day, with over 600 deliveries in one day – and I just thought they were busy while I was there!

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

Veterans take on new challenges later in life After Curby Thomas of Powell had a heart attack in 2002, he was referred to the Fort Sanders Cardiac Rehabilitation Outpatient Program for 13 weeks of exercise and nutrition classes under the watchful eye of nurses, dieticians and exercise specialists. Working out three times a week, Thomas regained his strength. Then he decided to keep going with exercise. Thomas joined Fort Sanders Cardiac Rehab on a monthly basis, like a health club. Now at 71, he visits several days each week to use the treadmill, weights and other equipment. “I’ve kept up a routine of walking and exercising, and it’s made a tremendous difference in the quality of my life. If you exercise you can live life. Or, you can just sit around and wait to croak, I guess!” Thomas said with a laugh. Like many cardiac patients, Thomas is a veteran. He served in the Army in 1959 to 1960. His heart problems were not related to his service, he said. However, many veterans do have heart and lung problems stemming from military service. “Many men in World War II were exposed to dangerous levels of asbestos. And during the Vietnam War, it was Agent Orange that may have affected their lungs,” said Rick Smith, a cardiovascular technologist at Fort Sanders. Smith is himself a former Army combat medic and National Guardsman.

Cardiovascular technologist Rick Smith talks to Zijad Dvzanic during his rehab session at Fort Sanders Cardiac Rehabilitation Outpatient Program. Smith said he sees military service related heart and lung diseases regularly. Asbestos was rampant in old Navy ships and shipyards. Agent Orange and other chemicals were used in Southeast Asia. And throughout the military, cigarette smoking was an encouraged habit (it is now discouraged). “Cigarettes used to come in the meal ration packs,” said Smith.

“The old adage was, ‘If you’ve got ’em, light ’em.’ ” For example, Harold Pruitt of Knoxville, 79 and a Navy veteran, exercises regularly at Fort Sanders. “I was exposed to asbestos, but I also smoked for 52 years,” he said. “I had a little trace of CPOD (chronic pulmonary obstructive disorder), and restless leg syndrome.”

Exercising at Fort Sanders has made a big difference in his health, Pruitt said. “It’s helped me quite a bit. I can walk better, breathe better and the doctor says my lungs are clear and free,” said Pruitt. Veterans and other patients often say they enjoy having nurses, physical therapists and dieticians nearby while they exercise, in case of emergency. “We exercise the patients, take

their blood pressure and watch them on heart monitors while exercising, taking them through different stations like the treadmill, the bicycles and weights for their upper body,” said Smith. Chuck Doherty of Knoxville, 86, said he’s glad Fort Sanders staff members are nearby while he exercises. “I think they’re doing a great job. I fell once on the treadmill, and they were there in a nanosecond. I’ve got to learn to keep awake on the treadmill,” he joked. Doherty said he was likely exposed to asbestos in the Navy years ago; however, his main heart issue is an irregular heartbeat. He began attending Fort Sanders Cardiac Rehab about four years ago. “I use the arm machines, the treadmills, the steps, weights, bicycles, everything. My wife tells me it’s keeping me alive,” Doherty said. “Whether you’re a veteran or not, you’ll get the most excellent care you could ever get at Fort Sanders,” said Smith. “Exercise helps stave off old age issues, arthritis and things like that. “Your mobility is better, your lung issues get better. You’re being watched by all these people, and we send reports to physicians. “We like to say we have smart, happy hearts and happy patients. Exercising at Fort Sanders helps our patients recognize what’s going on with their bodies. It also gives them a way to improve their health,” said Smith.

Exercise your heart at Fort Sanders Cardiac Rehab Center

For more information about the Cardiac Rehabilitation Outpatient Program at Fort Sanders Regional, call 865-541-1250 or go to fsregional.com/cardiovascular.

Leaving the hospital is just the first step in recovering from a heart attack, heart surgery or angioplasty. Cardiac patients often need to strengthen weakened heart muscles and learn heart-healthy practices. Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center heart patients are referred to the hospital’s Cardiac Rehabilitation Outpatient Program. The three-month program offers exercise sessions and health classes to establish lifestyle changes that help reduce the patient’s risk of further heart disease. “Cardiac Rehabilitation is a multidisciplinary treatment plan which involves medication, nursing, exercise physiology, nutrition and psychology. We know it’s difficult to make lifestyle changes, so we try to provide people support so they can change,” explains cardiac rehab nurse case manager Brenda Leuthold. Patients exercise three times each week while hooked to a heart monitor. They also attend different classes on nutrition, stress management and medications. “It’s long enough to help form healthy habits,” says Leuthold. After completing the rehab program, patients are invited back to the center to continue exercising. The center has exercise bikes, step machines, treadmills and free weights. “It’s a wonderful support group for anybody that’s had heart disease or heart procedures,” says Leuthold. “We have a lot of great outcomes.”

Get heart healthy! Physical exercise and a heart-healthy diet are keys to preventing and recovering from heart disease, according to the American Heart Association. Some more heart healthy recommendations: ■ ■ ■ ■

Don’t smoke Maintain a healthy weight Get daily moderate exercise Eat a healthy diet, low in saturated fats, processed sugar and sodium, and high in fiber ■ Eat five fruits and vegetables each day ■ Know your numbers for blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar, and manage high levels with medication if necessary

HALLS/FOUNTAIN CITY Shopper news • NOVEMBER 11, 2013 • B-3

Teachable moments Lately I’ve been “felled” by the same thing that’s got a lot of Knox Countians in its pernicious grasp – a bad cold of the sort that makes leaving one’s bed a bad idea for all concerned. While I haven’t been able to interview any interesting folks this week, I have been keeping up with the current school controversy. By now everyone knows about the recent school board meeting in which Knox County teachers voiced their frustrations and concerns. Here at the ShopperNews, Sandra Clark and Jake Mabe have been consistently supporting those educators for months now. I was particularly struck by the recent article, “Tenured and Tired,” in which Mabe spoke with a teacher who noticed her students’ lingering confusion about the correct use of apostrophes. God knows we need some clarification in that area. Where’s the millionaire who’ll give me a dollar for every sign I can find that uses an apostrophe incorrectly? The teacher, who spoke

Carol’s Corner anonymously, said that she spotted “a teachable moment” and in other circumstances would have taken the time to veer off course a little in order to re-teach the difference between contractions and possessive nouns. But she’s bound by the new, rigid rules and was given, in Mabe’s words, “no wiggle room.” No wonder some of these capable veterans say that they sometimes come home in tears at the end of the day. It got me to thinking about my own teaching. In addition to writing a Shopper-News column, I also teach piano at The Community School of the Arts.

dents in her class can afford to follow the whims of each one (and I’d have no earthly idea how to manage and teach that many kids at once). Obviously there must be standards set and schedules observed. But it seems to me that there must be a happy medium. It seems to me that no “teachable moment” should be wasted. And the seasoned teachers – the ones with the education degrees, the experience and the know-how, who’ve given their lives to public education – are the ones who can spot them best.

So we spent the first part of his lesson doing just that. It wasn’t part of my original lesson plan, but it was the right thing to do. After 15 minutes or so, it was obvious that he understood those chords better than he ever had, and he’d contributed to the process himself. I thought of the teacher with no wiggle room. Of course, we’re talking about two different types of schools here. There’s no way a teacher with 30 stu-

NEWS FROM SOUTHEASTERN RETINA ASSOCIATES

At Southeastern Retina Associates the focus is all on the eyes By Anne Hart November is Diabetes Awareness Month, which brings a reminder of the devastating role the disease can play in damaging or even destroying eyesight, and of the importance of good ophthalmologic care. Diabetes is the leading cause of blindness for people under 50. Diabetes affects the eyes by causing deterioration of blood vessels in the retina. The retina is the nerve tissue in the eye which functions similar to the film in a camera. The breakdown of retinal blood vessels may result in fluid leaking into the center of the retina (macular edema) or abnormal blood vessels that grow on the surface of the retina (neovascularization), which can bleed and scar. This can lead to permanent loss of vision. The physicians at Southeastern Retina Associates (SERA) have been caring for patients with diabetic retinopathy for over 30 years. The physicians at SERA are the only retina specialists in the Knoxville region who are board-certified in ophthalmology by the American Board of Ophthalmology. As retina specialists, the physicians at SERA specialize in treating diseases of the retina. That specialization and experience has led SERA to become the most trusted retina practice in the region. Almost all of the patients seen at SERA have been referred by other eye care providers who trust the physicians of SERA to provide the highest

level of care to their patients with diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, retinal detachment, and other retinal conditions. “We are proud of the care we have provided to the East Tennessee community over the last 30 years and appreciate the trust our patients and their physicians have placed in us,” says Dr. John Hoskins, the founder of SERA. Diabetic retinopathy can cause permanent vision loss if not identiﬁed early. Dr. James Miller notes “It is important to remember that diabetic retinopathy may not cause any symptoms in its early stages, so it is critical that people with diabetes mellitus undergo at least an annual eye exam, even if there are no apparent vision symptoms.” All patients with diabetes are urged to have an annual eye exam. “Prevention is the key to maintaining your vision because all too often the nerve damage that results from diabetic retinopathy cannot be reversed,” says Dr. Miller. Similarly, good blood sugar control is a critical aspect of preventing and managing diabetic retinopathy. Patients with diabetic retinopathy are often treated with medication, lasers, and surgery if necessary. All of the physicians at SERA completed four years of medical school, a one-year internship in medicine and surgery, a three-year ophthalmology residency, and a two-year fellowship in medical and surgical retina care, so they are well-trained to provide a full spectrum of care to diabetic patients.

They are the only specialists in the area who provide both medical and surgical care to their patients. “We are the only retina specialists in the area who are trained to manage all aspects of diabetic retinopathy,” notes Dr. Tod McMillan. SERA is a nationally-recognized retina practice with a very active clinical trial and research program. SERA has been a leader in multiple nationally known clinical research studies for diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration, retinal vascular occlusion, and other diseases of the retina. “By collaborating with the National Eye Institute and leading clinical research studies, our practice is able to provide cutting-edge treatment to patients in East Tennessee that they cannot obtain anywhere else,” notes Dr. Joseph Googe. With ofﬁces in the Knoxville, Chattanooga and Tri-cities areas, the physicians with SERA have the conﬁdence of patients and their referring physicians from Wytheville, VA. to Dalton, GA and from Crossville, TN to North Carolina. SERA’s retina specialists utilize the most advanced therapies and surgical approaches, combined with unfailing attention to consistency and detail, to provide the best treatment available, including surgery when necessary.
