Three funny dudes By Betty Bean

When Nita Buell Black puts on a revue, she’s like a presenter on one of those Japanese steak knife commercials – just when you wonder how she’s producing such an embarrassment of riches, there’s more! This week’s Powell Playhouse offering, “Comedy Night – Rhythm and Laughter,” will not only feature a ventriloquist, a magician and a gypsy jazz swing band, but will also feature three popular stand-up

has received no complaints about the red light since it was installed. The afternoon bottleneck occurs along the portion of Andersonville Pike near TDS that is strictly a two-lane road. Two vehicles nearly wrecked there Thursday afternoon and one motorist was spotted bypassing the school traffic illegally by veering into the oncoming lane. “We encourage parents to show up at 2:45 or 2:50,” Henderson says.

“The backup happens in part because we have a few folks who come early to pick up their children, some as early as an hour (prior) and wait until dismissal. And there’s no need to do that because once traffic gets moving, it’s OK. I’ve even told a few parents they can come at 3 or 3:05 p.m. Or, having your kids ride the bus is great.” Henderson also encourages parents to arrive in the afternoon “from the north entrance to the school”

comics in the show that will start at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 19, at Jubilee Banquet Facility off Callahan Drive. Ron Daughtrey, Alex Stokes and Drew Whitney have other careers, but find time to perform on the comedy club circuit. They have different styles and are all “Best Comedian” competition winners. Daughtrey is a loan officer who has been married for 32 years. Doing stand-up was on his bucket list, and he was 53 the first time he stepped on stage. He draws on stories from his childhood and from the family experiences he’s had raising three children. When asked what kind of comedy he prefers, he

had a simple answer: “The funny kind.” Drew Whitney is a lawyer who grew up in such a small town that his graduating class only had 43 people. His comedy is inspired by backwoods preachers and a mammaw who used colorful language. Nevertheless, he says his parents meant well and shouldn’t be blamed for anything he says or does. He and his wife, Andi, have a dog called Mick Jagger Pup. Whitney claims to be a good dancer. Financial manager Alex Stokes is a born storyteller, whose stories are based on true-life experiences that usually end with an unexpected twist. He has performed with more

traveling southeast along Andersonville Pike, “because there’s a big, long turn lane up there and it doesn’t block traffic. There’s plenty of room from the north.” He says his biggest concern is the 10 minutes in the afternoon when traffic comes to a halt near TDS at the bridge that crosses North Fork up to the school entrance. “Because if something did happen and an emergency vehicle needs to get through, it’s a bottleneck.”

The Hillcrest-Carter connection By Sandra Clark Knox County Commission may vote this month to sell property that is home to 500 individuals and employs 500 more. The residents range from indigent seniors to the disabled. The Other Paper let Mayor Tim Burchett get away with saying that while he may take political heat for selling the Hillcrest properties for half ($5.275 million against $11.3 million) of appraised value, he’s doing it for the seniors.

Analysis We submit that he’s doing it to pay for Carter Elementary School. And that’s a steep price to pay. Knox County needs another $6 million to fulfill its contract for the Carter school. The contract calls for the transaction to conclude between June 1 and July 15, 2013. A quick $5.275 million from the Hillcrest Healthcare Communities could solve the Carter problem, but would leave a myriad of unanswered questions.

■ What happens if the new owner defaults on a loan, having used the property as collateral? Hillcrest management has hired Moxley Carmichael public relations and attorney Arthur Seymour Jr. to make its case. They’re spinning at full speed. Meanwhile, the commission chair, Tony Norman, has placed another item on the JanuTim Burchett ary agenda. Cosponsored by Burchett, it would require money acquired from the sale of county assets to go toward debt retirement. While specific properties are not named, it begs the question of how the $6 million Carter deficiency would be covered if this resolution passes. Finance director Chris Caldwell says the proposed Hillcrest sale is not about Carter. There are other properties available for sale to close the gap, he said, and “the folks from Hillcrest approached us.” The Tazewell Pike property that includes Beverly Park and par-3 golf course will be retained by the coun-

Paying for Carter Under its agreement with Carter School developer Partners Development, the county will swap $13,879, 334 for a key to the finished building by July 15, 2013. Mayor Tim Burchett boldly promised to raise the money by selling unneeded county assets. To date, almost $10 million has been collected toward the project:

ty, Caldwell said. Cynthia Moxley, CEO of Moxley Carmichael, said 70 percent of Hillcrest’s residents are supported by TennCare. Repairs are needed. Hillcrest cannot borrow for upgrades without using the property for collateral, she said. In setting the sales price, Knox County considered the $2.3 million already spent for improvements by Hillcrest and the estimated $1.6 million needed to tear down the old tuberculosis hospital (not used for patients) and an old water tower. Seymour said nonprofit corporations such as Hillcrest Healthcare operate under more restrictive laws than for-profit corporations. For instance, a nonprofit must notify the state attorney general prior to selling or leasing its assets or merging with another entity. The AG can intervene if the nonprofit’s assets are being misapplied or wasted, or it is no longer able to carry out its purpose. He suggested that Knox County could be liable for clean-up of hazardous waste sites or if “it knows or should have discovered the existence of some dangerous condition.” Mike Ragsdale tried to sell Hillcrest facilities a few years back, but

If you’ve ever found yourself driving by Halls Elementary School around 2:30 p.m. on a school day, you know the problem. Traffic backs up – particularly as one travels northwest along Andersonville Pike from the crossroads at Emory and Andersonville. “It’s been an ongoing issue,” says principal Chris Henderson, “since I’ve been here and well before. Certainly our biggest priority is getting 800 kids out as safely and as efficiently as we can.” Henderson says that school officials successfully lobbied County Commission to have a short right turn lane installed, and a traffic engineer helped redesign traffic flow in and out of the school campus a few years ago. “And that’s helped some, but we’re always looking at it. We’ve talked to just about everybody we can to help us with it.” Henderson says that traffic flow is smoother in the morning, particularly since the county installed a red light at the Emory Road/Andersonville Pike intersection in December. Jim Snowden, deputy director of Knox County Engineering and Public Works, says that his office

EasyBridge classes offer fun and friends

By Theresa Edwards

By Wendy Smith Ted McLellan of Halls recommends the EasyBridge lessons offered at the Knoxville Bridge Center, located at the Deane Hill Recreation Center at 7400 Deane Hill Drive. He met his wife, Gina, during a 2001 session of the class. She was learning, and he was helping teach the class. Ted played in college, but took 27 years off before taking up the game again when he moved to Knoxville in 1999. He wanted to meet people, he says. He can’t promise that everyone who takes the class will meet that special someone, but he thinks the game is a good way to make new friends. It’s also the first step toward a rewarding new hobby. “EasyBridge is social, as opposed to competitive,” he says. “Once you start playing, it’s still social, but you’re trying to win.” A new session of EasyBridge begins at 1:30 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 20. The first six lessons are free, and there are no further commitments. Subsequent lessons are five dollars each. Jim Ricker, who will help teach the session, compares learning bridge to learning a foreign language – you begin by counting to ten, and add words as you progress. EasyBridge teacher David Williams has been play-

ing for over 20 years, and is a 5th-grade teacher, so he’s good at breaking bridge down to the basics. It’s a game of experience, he says, so the more you play, the better you become. “You have to be patient with yourself,” he says. “If you are having fun, you’ll make progress.” On Sunday afternoons, the large room at the Bridge Center is divided, with the class on one side and a game for new players on the other. Most of the class will be ready to join the new players by July, David says. Last year, 88 students came to the first EasyBridge lesson. He would like to have 100 this year. Participants don’t need to bring a partner. Students are matched with partners as they learn. Joan Funkhouser of Halls learned to play bridge in the 1950s, and found it to be a

good way to meet people as she moved from place to place. Players are always looking for substitutes, so it’s easy to get involved if you’re new in town, she says. She compares the game to a competitive sport because every table in the room is playing the same hand. The best part, she says, is that you can have the satisfaction of playing good defense if your own cards aren’t good. Joan plays twice a week at the bridge center. “I could play every day, but I have to have a life otherwise,” she says. Bridge is fun for all ages, says Jo Anne Newby, who recruits new players and offers resources to experienced players at the bridge center. “We laugh a lot,” she says. For more information, contact Jo Anne at Knoxville Easybridge@gmail.com or 539-4150.

Living to tell the tale Cut Vallie Collins off in traffic? She isn’t going to get upset. If the dog chews on her new shoes, no big deal. She’ll just buy another pair.

Jake Mabe MY TWO CENTS Collins, to use the cliché, doesn’t sweat the small stuff. She’s stared death in the face and lived to tell the tale. Collins, a Maryville resident and UT graduate, spoke to the Powell Business and Professional Association last week. She was sitting on the last row of US Airways Flight 1549 on Jan. 15, 2009 – the plane that made an emergency landing in the Hudson River just after takeoff. It had hit a flock of Canada geese, which caused the engines to lose power. She says her life didn’t

flash before her eyes in the three and one-half minutes between the time the trouble started and the plane landed. Instead, she thought about what she’d miss if she died.

“I’m not going to be the mother of the bride. I’m not going to see my son’s first home run. I’m not going to be there for birthday parties.” She used her Blackberry to text her husband: “My flight is crashing.” As you no doubt know, Capt. Chesley B. “Sully” Sullenberger and First Officer Jeffrey B. Skiles executed a successful textbook emergency landing in the Hudson. Collins admits that the landing was rough. To accomplish it, Sullenberger had to land the plane tail first – near where Collins was sitting. “We hit water at 160 miles per hour. It was violent.” But, when Collins realized everyone was still alive, she relaxed at first. “My first thought was, ‘That wasn’t that bad. I’ve had worse landings on runways!’” Then everyone attempted to exit. Remembering that the closest exit was behind her (Collins encourages everyone who flies to actually

pay attention to the preflight instructions), she headed to the rear galley. But no one could get either door fully open because of the water pressure. “The scariest moment was that in a matter of seconds, water went from my ankle to my chest. And this was 35-degree water on a 22-degree day.” A flight attendant gave her these instructions: “You have two minutes. Go to the wing.” Passengers were crying, screaming, jumping over seats. Some were even trying to get their luggage out of the overhead compartments. In her loudest Southern voice, Collins yelled, “Go to the wings. Go to the wings.” She says she didn’t do anything heroic. “I wanted out and they were in my way!” Collins was one of the last passengers to exit the plane. She spotted the ferry boats being used as rescue vehicles and said to herself, “I’m not dying today.” She helped two children, one a baby, into a raft. And, as you no doubt know, all 155 people aboard survived.

Once inside the ferry, Collins spotted a man with a phone and asked if she could call her husband. “It’s me,” she said. “I’m OK.” Steve’s response? “Call your mother.” “If there’s a language called hysteria, (mom) was fluent in it that afternoon.” Collins says her life itself hasn’t changed much since that cold January afternoon. But her purpose and her response to life’s challenges have very much changed, particularly in five ways. 1. The importance of simple kindness. “We don’t know the (identity) of the person with whom we’ll have our last interaction.” 2. Empathy. Collins says as an engineer she’s “a thinker, not a feeler.” But after being diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, which she says is “a very real disease,” Collins developed a deeper concern for others. Somebody who looks just fine on the outside might be miserable on the inside, she says. 3. Staying physically fit. You never know, she says,

when you might be in a position to have to be physically fit to save your life or help a stranger. 4. Learning perspective. “I have a whole new scale to calibrate how upset I get. Few things in life are worth raising your blood pressure.” 5. Understanding the concept of time. “Not a single one of us knows how much time we have left.” When she finally returned home to Maryville after the ordeal, Collins says her mother-in-law kept pulling her by the arm. She wanted Collins to see something in the children’s den, which had just been remodeled. It was a wall hanging, one Collins had bought on sale because she liked its shape and color. She hadn’t paid much attention to it. “Read that,” her motherin-law said. On it was a drawing of an airplane with this message: “How great would life be if we lived a little each day?” Take time to live, she says. Go for a run. Take a nap. Play a round of golf. Find your “living moment.” Don’t sweat the small stuff.

government Wine now? Wine-no When Beth Harwell and Ron Ramsey (leaders of the state House and Senate, respectively) announced that they’d decided to support grocery stores selling wine, Tennessee oenophiles started doing a happy dance.

Betty Bean Now that Trader Joe’s has come to Tennessee, could Two Buck Chuck be far behind (even if it is $3.99 a bottle now)? Next year, we’ll be able to grab a snow day bottle of cab along with our milk, bread and toilet paper! Maybe, maybe not. One school of thought is that the two leaders are saying one thing publicly while privately reassuring opponents of grocery store wine (a powerful coalition of liquor interests and Baptists) something else entirely. Last week, the wine no-votes (hereafter known as the wine-no’s) got a boost from the state’s police chiefs and sheriffs, who got together and started calling themselves Tennessee Law Enforcement for Strong Alcohol Laws and denounced the notion, citing the dangers of making box wine more accessible to underage drinkers who are always looking for an angle. KPD chief David Rausch brought it home with a warning about butt chugging. When reminded that the police chiefs also support gun control, Rep. Bill Dunn, who sounds like a wine-no vote but says he’s willing to listen to the arguments, had a semi-serious, answer: “Are you asking for consistency?” Dunn sounds like he’s thinking hard about the question but leaning toward the wine-no side. “We work on so many issues where we see how much pain alcohol causes. Maybe there should be a little taboo out there,” he said, recalling the time he heard a Tennessee Bureau of Investigation chief declare that 90 percent of his agency’s budget was necessitated by drug and

alcohol abuse. Plus, he pointed out that there’s more to the discussion than questions of alcohol abuse. “By law, liquor stores cannot sell anything else, and there’s a one person, one store rule in effect now. We’ll have to look at those laws. And we’ll have to define grocery stores. Would somebody be able to set up one of those stands in the mall? It’s a lot more complex than just whether to sell wine.” The pro-wine forces are led by big supermarket chains who are sponsoring a “Red, White & Food” lobbying effort. Smaller, regional chains worry about problems with new layers of bureaucracy and regulation as well as the dangers of weeding out would-be butt chuggers. Rep. Ryan Haynes is non-committal, but says sooner or later the prowine side will prevail. He sees some ironies, though. “The free-market Republicans are in control, but at the same time a lot of them are screaming ‘Let’s help the mom and pop businesses.’ “And any time there’s a liquor bill, no matter what it is, automatically, you probably have 30 ‘no’ votes, from both sides of the aisle. Throw in 20 more who say they’re going to help their small business guys, and that’s enough to keep it bottled up. Still, it has a better shot of passing this year than it ever has. “If I represent grocery stores, I’d say we’re not going to allow it in gas stations. But big grocery stores and convenience stores share lobbyists – that’s one of the big sticking points. Some of the grocery stores have hired their own lobbyists. “Do we really need wine in gas stations?” A rep who preferred to remain anonymous hinted that the whole thing is a waste of time. “A lot of legislators just want it to go away. You don’t go down to Nashville to bring wine to grocery stores. It’s going to pass, but I just don’t know when. Usually when a bill keeps coming back like this, that’s what happens, so if I’m talking to a liquor store owner, I’d tell them it’s not like you haven’t been forewarned.”

Ray Jenkins reflects, predicts As the Knox County Republican Party prepares for its biennial reorganization, we asked Ray Jenkins, term-limited after two terms as party chair, to assume the role of the Roman god Janus for us. You remember Janus – the one for whom January is named. He was the fellow with the ability to look both forward and backward. Jenkins agreed to play along and look back on his time as the party’s leader and forward to what he thinks lies ahead for the GOP both locally and in Nashville. His response: “As I look back on the past four years, I realize how much I am truly going to miss chairing the Knox County Republican Party. It has been a great ride and we had some very good times. “We were very successful in electing great Republican candidates and reelecting great Republican officeholders. The GOP now holds every county-wide non-judicial office, and we have increased the number of Republican judges as well. County Commission is 82 percent Republican, with only two seats held by our friends across the aisle. “And I say “friends” because I have tried to encourage all candidates to be cordial and not attack “personally” their political opponents. Local politics is not like national politics. The closer you get to home the more important it is to keep in mind that our political

Anne Hart

opponents are neighbors, sometimes friends, our children go to the same schools, we may even go to the same church. So I have always urged our candidates to disagree without being disagreeable. “What has made (the job) such a joy is the volunteers who come and work in the office and on campaigns and do it out of a love for the party – and they do that no matter who is chair, sometimes in spite of who is chair! “I am thrilled at the number of announced candidates for the leadership so far. I have encouraged people to get involved and compete for this and I think it shows great potential for the party as we move forward. “Each of the four candidates – Buddy Burkhardt, John Gabriel, Ken Gross and Ruthie Kuhlman – have their strengths, and this contest will reveal how connected and influential they are within the party.

He was the architect for the World’s Fair and cared deeply that the permanent buildMcCarty ings such as the Amphitheater and Sunsphere continue. When I was foolish enough, for financial reasons, to suggest that the Tennessee Amphitheater be demolished, I heard from him almost immediately requesting a meeting. Naturally, I met with him. He was as well-prepared and as passionate about the utility and history of this facility as he could have been.

He articulated excellent reasons for its preservation and asked for time to build a case for saving it. Without his intervention and the people he brought with him, the Tennessee Amphitheater might have gone the way of the United States Pavilion and disappeared. He was an architect’s architect.

A tale of two monuments

The Union Monument at the National Cemetery. After the bronze American eagle topping the shaft was destroyed in an electrical storm on Aug. 22, 1904, the eagle was replaced by a sentry in authentic uniform. The monument was rededicated on Oct. 15, 1906. Photo submitted

HISTORY AND MYSTERIES | Dr. Jim Tumblin Twenty-six years after the Civil War ended, the cornerstone for a monument to those who died fighting for the South was set in Bethel Cemetery. Held on May 21, 1891, the impressive ceremony, including prayers, choral hymns, and orations emphasizing themes of sacrifice and redemptive principles, preceded the main address delivered by the Rev. William C. Grace. The Rev. Grace had been a witness to the hardships endured by soldiers and civilians alike during the war. After extolling their strength and determination, he predicted that the monument would eventually replace the oratorical tradition and that the monument and its inscriptions would then be needed to communicate the facts and the lessons of that cruel war, which too often pitted brother against brother. The task of designing the monument and of sculpting out of â&#x20AC;&#x153;cold, hard marbleâ&#x20AC;? a veteran sentinel who would embody the living classical truths to which the Rev. Grace referred was assigned to famed local artist Lloyd Branson (1854-1925). The eight-foot, six-inch soldier was judiciously scaled by the artist to appear life-size, taking account of the 48foot elevation and the distance from which it would be viewed. The figure was displayed in Bransonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s studio on Gay Street for some time before it was mounted on the monument. The detailed rendition of the uniform with the cap, belt and buttons, the wrinkles in the face and the veins on the back of his hands were evidence of the sculptorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s skill. The monument was dedicated on May 19, 1892. The ceremony was preceded by a parade down Gay Street led by former East Tennessee commander Gen. Edmund Kirby Smith astride his bay charger. Gen. Kirby Smith was followed by members of his staff and by former Confederate general and twoterm Tennessee governor (1882-1886) and then U.S. Senator, William B. Bate. The colorful legions of the Fred Ault Bivouac and the Felix Zollicoffer and J.E.B. Stuart Camps of the Sons of Confederate Veterans (SCV) marched behind them paced by a military band playing a dirge composed for the occasion by music professor Gustavus B. Knabe. When they reached the cemetery, the Rev. James Park of First Presbyterian Church pronounced the benediction. The monument was unveiled. Gen. Kirby Smith observed that the monument would â&#x20AC;&#x153;arouse a sentiment as lasting as the hills that look upon itâ&#x20AC;? and introduced Sen. Bate, who spent nearly two hours extolling the differences and similarities between monumental and historical truth. Professor Frederick C. Moffatt, in his essay â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Tale of Two Monuments: Civil War Sculpture in Knoxvilleâ&#x20AC;? (East Tennessee Historical Society Publications No. 50, 1978) observed, â&#x20AC;&#x153;As is true of many public endeavors, the Civil War monument was born out of controversy, particularly when it was to occupy territory disputed in the war. Material existence apparently affirmed its moral right to exist; thus, once established, a monument proudly held its ground against all foes. In Knoxville, peculiar circumstances intensified a hundred fold this mock combat between the stones.â&#x20AC;? The fundraising and construction of the monument

had taken 10 years. Some two years into the project, local officials of the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) recognized the need for a suitable monument for Union veterans and began planning and fundraising. Capt. William Rule, influential editor of the Knoxville Daily Journal, was the guiding hand of the memorial committee. He had been preoccupied publicizing and fundraising for another monument, the Gov. John Sevier Monument, which was erected on the courthouse lawn and dedicated in December 1892. During the March 22, 1893 encampment of the GAR in Harriman, department commander H.C. Whittaker challenged each of the 16,000 surviving Union veterans to raise funds for a suitable monument in the National Cemetery which had been established on Holston Street (now Tyson) in 1863. Capt. Rule reminded the men that â&#x20AC;&#x153;the shadows lengthen as we approach the eternal sunsetâ&#x20AC;? and estimated that a magnificent memorial would be insured if each individual gave just one dollar. The campaign had a promising beginning but then became dismally inactive. Finally a design was agreed on and William B.

McMullenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tennessee Producers Marble Company and the Southern Marble Company were retained. The cornerstone exercises were held on Oct. 15, 1896, but the pace did not quicken until 1898, possibly influenced by the burst of patriotism generated by that yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Spanish-American War. Finally, the dedication was held on Oct. 24, 1901. The fund then totaled almost $11,000, with about $7,000 raised in one dollar increments from dutiful pensioners. Much discussion had been held about the design and some were surprised at the unveiling when they observed the ferocious bronze American eagle at the pinnacle with widely outspread wings instead of a Union sentry. In his dedicatory address, Judge Newton Hacker observed, â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is no monument in all the land that marks a higher degree of patriotism.â&#x20AC;? There was much consternation and some suggestion that it was an omen when, at 8:20 p.m. on Aug. 22, 1904, a powerful bolt of lightning struck the eagle with a blast that was heard for miles. The eagle was flung into the street with its wings â&#x20AC;&#x153;closely cropped at its body as if the work had been done by an instrument.â&#x20AC;? The stone shaft

was shattered leaving only the steps and some of the foundation intact. Probably the steel rod that anchored the eagle to the shaft had attracted the lightning bolt. The weary committee sprung into action and called for federal support. Congress provided $5,000

to repair the damage. William Carter and William Rule, co-chairs of the memorial committee, retained Baumann Brothers Architects and the project was completed and the keys presented to the cemetery superintendent on Oct. 15, 1906. This time, the unveiling revealed an eight-foot tall soldier of the line with his head topping out at 60 feet. It possibly was only a coincidence that the sentry in the Union uniform with the short hair, thin mustache, authentic service cap and military bearing stood four feet above his Confederate counterpart just two miles

away in Bethel Cemetery. Fortunately for the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future, many groups representing Civil War veterans, including the state chapter of the Grand Army of the Republic, were working diligently to deflect any lingering hostility toward their fellow citizens by holding joint parades and reunions like the one held at the site of the Battle of Ft. Sanders on Oct. 8-9, 1890. Authorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Note: Thanks to Douglas Davenport, Robert McGinnis, Professor F.C. Moffatt and the C.M.

Assistant coaching may be hazardous to your health Choosing to be an assistant football coach is something like going to the races. You might win big or lose big. The trip may be very exciting, even an unforgettable adventure, but don’t bet the house on the wrong horse. Assistant coaching is a better job than mixing mortar and lugging cinder blocks. It is more challenging than loading trucks. Salaries are very good but there are problems and risks. Best payoffs for assistants – championship rings, job security and maybe a shot at becoming a head coach – come from partnerships with successful coaches or a good grip

their games if you count the available Akrons and Georgia States, but, alas, some don’t. Recruiting is critical as blood. Assistant coaching requires many nights on the road and doesn’t offer many opportunities to stop thinking football. Can’t count on rivals resting. If children are involved, assistant coaches should plan and practice a just-incase explanation: “Defeat doesn’t mean daddy is a bum.” “Moving is an exciting educational experience. It will be fun to see new places and meet new friends.” When your life is linked to whether a focus-free receiver runs the right route

or whether a befuddled safety makes the correct read, hang loose. That several previous Tennessee assistants really wanted to stay is not surprising. For most, this was the best job they have ever had. Money was well above average. Among the dearly departed, only Jim Chaney hit the jackpot. Arkansas will pay him $550,000 for coaching. Tennessee will pay $600,000 for not. Sal Sunseri came down a full notch but, considering his success rate, he isn’t doing too badly. Others were less fortunate. UT contracts will be honored in periodic installments but that does not can-

cel out disappointment. I felt for Darin Hinshaw, 38, Central Florida guy, father of four. He worked his way up from Middle Tennessee State, Georgia State and Memphis to be an important cog at Tennessee. Ron McKeefery was here part of a year as strength and conditioning coach. What happened probably wasn’t totally his fault but unhappy results rub off on all concerned – including Angela, James, Tyler, Ava and Maya. No matter how tough you are, assistant coaching can be hazardous to your health.

friends added, “But sometimes He excels!” All of us laughed, but I, like Mary, “treasured these words, and pondered them” in my heart. (Luke 2: 19) God does excel! God knows our needs, our dreams, our longings. God also knows our fears, I was talking to two life. I said, in all sincerity, sins, our shortcomings, friends, telling them about “God is good, all the time.” our failures. the newfound joy in my To which one of my Every now and again,

however, God chooses to offer us a miracle, a blessing so unexpected, so breathtaking, so … well … excellent, it stuns us and leaves us speechless, humbled, awed, dazed, dazzled. In such a moment, we must be fully aware. We must recognize the gift for what it is: God’s grace poured out because God loves us, is crazy about us, sinners that we are! We must also acknowledge that God knows our longings, our dreams. God knows the holes in our hearts, and seeks to fill them up with His love. Our task is to be open, accepting, thankful, willing to be loved by such a

God. We must open our hearts (and minds) to God’s will for us, God’s plan for us, God’s dream for us. Always, we are free to demur, to decline, to rebel. But we do so at our own peril. Here is the question, however: why would we reject God’s will? Why, indeed? Since God’s will allows for our own free will, God does not force us into obedience; God allows us to decide. God’s will for His own children is always good. Sometimes, when we don’t understand what God is up to, when we can’t see around the bend, we wonder if God is asleep, or indifferent, or just plain grumpy.

Occasionally, I recall the advice a college professor gave me when I was a student at the University of Tennessee. He said, “Be where you are supposed to be; do what you are supposed to do. Everything else will take care of itself.” That is vague, one might claim. It gives no real direction to one’s actions. Yet, if you consider the advice, it required of me a certain amount of examination of my impulses and actions. It required considering consequences. It required weighing the possibilities. And it required putting my hand into the hand of God.

on the coattails of a rising star. Merit is relevant. The good-old-boy network is not as comfortably dependable as it once was. The business is more results-driven. Because there is some up-or-down uncertainty in the coaching profession, it is best to rent. And don’t discard boxes and packing materials from the previous move.

Of course assistant coaches go in both directions. There are magnificent promotions and discouraging terminations. That’s the link to most of the pain. Those determined to stay in the game, no matter what happens, should stay single or negotiate a prenuptial arrangement. Patience, poise and flexibility are key words, a fair exchange, I suppose, for really good seats and free refreshments in a private booth in the press box, sheltered from weather and caustic critics. An honest prenuptial should include a few clues about reality: Bowl bonuses are not guaranteed. Almost everybody can win half

Beaver Dam to host Disciple Now By Cindy Taylor Middle and high school youth at Beaver Dam Baptist Church are preparing for an in-home retreat in mid-January. Fourteen host homes will be utilized along with 25 college-age teachers. Youth pastor Scott Hood is heading up the venture known as Disciple Now. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The kids will be invading the homes of our church members Jan. 18 and 19,â&#x20AC;? said Hood. Students will spend an evening at the church on Wed, Jan. 16, in preparation for the following Friday and Saturday in-home retreat. Sunday morning

will find them back at Beaver Dam to share a special breakfast and worship. Those participating will be enjoying games, food and fellowship along with bible study and mission-focused teaching. The students will also â&#x20AC;&#x153;mergeâ&#x20AC;? with 13 other local church youth groups during the weekend to help them understand that churches are not in competition but are allies and should be working together. Hood says the main purpose of Disciple Now is to teach students to be more outwardly focused. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want the kids to think beyond themselves,â&#x20AC;?

said Hood. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have asked them to bring clothing and food for our pantries when they attend this event. We want them to see that they need to learn about the Lord and then live that out.â&#x20AC;? Beaver Dam has participated in Disciple Now since 2000. Cost is $50 per student but Hood says the church uses several thousand dollars from the budget to subsidize the event. About 100 youth usually attend the event. Hood says students are encouraged to come even if they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the fee. Church members often sponsor students and scholarships are available. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a church fi lled

with gracious people who outpour their love,â&#x20AC;? said Hood. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We believe every person has a God-sized hole in their life, and apart from Christ nothing can fi ll that. We want to instill that upon our students.â&#x20AC;? The theme for this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event is The Pause. Leaders hope they can impress upon students that they need to take time out from the busyness of their lives. They want to show them that they are loved, cherished and will be taken care of. Hood has been youth pastor at Beaver Dam for eight years. He and his wife, Stephanie, celebrated the birth of their first

Not much is known about him until, at age 18 in the spring of 1864, he was discovered by Union soldiers taking a turn of corn to the local gristmill on Buffalo Creek to be ground into cornmeal for the family. The soldiers said he looked like a strong young man and immediately recruited him into the Union Army. John forgot about the grist mill and turned his thoughts to war. He joined the 14th Illinois Cavalry and rode off with them, but he pointed the family horse toward home. Fearful that someone might harm his family, he used the name â&#x20AC;&#x153;John Januaryâ&#x20AC;? instead of John Janeway, and he kept the name throughout the war. His official enlistment was on June 1, 1864, at Maryville. He was sent immediately to the Atlanta area to join the army of William Tecumseh Sherman to train for his march on Atlanta and to the sea. He escaped death when a bullet pierced his hat, and after just two months he was captured and became a prisoner of war at Chattahoochee. After the war January did not return home. Instead, he disappeared and was not heard of until some 59 years later when he showed up back in Grainger County. Gertrude Grubb was born July 3, 1909, to Halley and Tom Grubb. Unfortunately, Gertrude had some congeni-

tal deformities â&#x20AC;&#x201C; her right hand was severely deformed and her right leg was shorter than the left. She could not walk until age 7. Tom Grubb died in 1922 at age 69, leaving Gertrude and her siblings â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Arthur, Rubin and Barney â&#x20AC;&#x201C; for Mrs. Grubb to raise. Before Tom Grubb died he taught Gertrude to walk by persistence and by having her hold a string which he carried to another side of the room and asked her to bring him the string she had in her hand. It worked. Halley Grubb put food on the table by scrubbing clothes on a washboard six days a week for which she was paid 50 cents. Gertrude finished the 5th grade and became quite a good reader. In 1925, when Gertrude was just 16, John Janeway stopped by the Grubb home and on that first visit inquired about taking Gertrude for his wife. Halley told him heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have to wait for her to â&#x20AC;&#x153;come of age.â&#x20AC;? Gertrude says they courted for more than two years until she was old enough to get married. The courting seemed to have consisted mostly of swinging in a porch swing or just sitting and talking. After their marriage for a few years they boarded with friends or family. Gertrude spotted a cabin for sale on Indian Ridge Road during one of their walks and she told John sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to have it for a home. They purchased the home, and there Ger-

trude lived from the time she was 23 until she died Jan. 7, 2003, at age 93. In spite of their long talks and walks, Gertrude did not know much about John except that she really loved him. He did tell her that war was hard and that sometimes he had to go to homes and beg for food. He also told her he went to California in 1865 after the war and raised a family. We do not know if he married someone in California. At age 77, John just showed back up in Grainger County and started looking for a wife. He and Gertrude were married for 10 years before John died and was buried in New Corinth Cemetery at Blaine in the Grubb family plot. The Janeways never had a phone, electricity or running water until recently when family became so concerned about Gertrude they convinced her to get electricity so she could have a little electric heater. The cabin had three rooms. The downstairs is roughly 20 x 20, and the front room had only one electric light and four wall outlets. It is furnished with a double iron bed, a wood cookstove with a warmer, a sow-belly cabinet, a table and a few chairs by the fireplace. These furnishings are

Shopper-News Presents Miracle Makers

A hear t for kindergar ten By Wendy Smith To enjoy teaching kindergarten, you have to not mind being touched, or needed, or occasionally being called “Mommy.” It’s not for everyone, says Angie Johns, but it’s definitely for her.

Kindergarten teacher Angie Johns enjoys a rare moment of peace in her A.L. Lotts Elementary School classroom. Photos by Wendy Smith

Kindergartners may have to work harder now than they did in past years, but their teachers make sure it’s fun. If they love school early on, they’re more likely to stay enthusiastic about learning, Johns says. This is her seventh year of teaching kindergarten at A.L. Lotts Elementary School, but her association with the school is much longer. Her children – ages 23, 20 and 15 – all attended A.L. Lotts. Including her teaching career in Georgia, Johns has taught kindergarten for 14 years. She’s witnessed many changes, like this year’s transition to full-day kindergarten. It’s been nice, she says, because it allows for more in-depth teaching. “We always felt like we were moving too quickly, because we had so much to cover.” It’s a long day for little people, and there were those who nodded off at the beginning of the year. But it was just a matter of building up stamina, Johns says. “I’m amazed at how quickly they all adjusted.” She’s also experienced leaps in classroom technology. She remembers being skeptical when the smart board was first installed in her room because she liked writing on her white board with markers. Now, she mostly uses the white board as a magnetic bulletin board. The smart board works especially well for teaching math and handwriting, and students enjoy using it, too. “It is amazing to me, every year, that I can show them one time how to use the pen or the wand, and they’ve got it.” She can also check out iPads from the school to use in the classroom. The applications and games on the iPad are perfect for kindergarten, she says. A. L. Lotts, like many other schools, is using coupon book money to purchase more iPads. The academic bar for kindergarten has moved since Johns started teaching at A. L. Lotts. Kids are expected to be able to write

sentences by the end of the year, and the reading level has gone up, too. Academically, this is Johns’ favorite time of the year. After Christmas, everything comes together, she says. This is when the building blocks she introduced in the fall – letters, sounds and reading strategies – all start to click. And it’s exactly why she enjoys teaching kindergarten. “I’ve always said that there’s growth at every level. But in kindergarten, you really see it. They’re such physical creatures. They can’t

Johns listens as Hayden Hayes practices his new reading skills. learn something new without saying, ‘Oh!’” Johns says social and developmental skills are more important for rising kindergartners than academic skills. Good school habits, like being able to sit for 10 minutes, pay attention and follow directions, are important. “We can teach academic skills,” she says. While it could be said that kinder-

garten builds the foundation for all future learning, kindergarten teachers rely on those who teach upper grades for merit pay. Those who teach kindergarten through second grade don’t have value-added growth because their students don’t take TCAPs. Instead, merit pay is based on school growth, says Johns. “We’re fortunate here because we have fabulous upper-grade teachers.”

Taxes, taxes, taxes After sitting through back-to-back speeches on taxes and recent changes in the tax law, I’ve reached these conclusions:

Sandra Clark Nobody I know has enough money to matter. Those who do have enough money to matter also have enough money to hire folks to help them. Therefore, I mentally moved on. But not before hearing one of the best offthe-top jokes of the week. Maybe you had to be there. Knox Wimberly, an awesome speaker, was trying to involve his listeners at the Heiskell Community Center (while the listeners were smelling and drooling over the homemade hot tamales coming to the lunch buffet). “How many of you make more than $200,000? How about $250,000? Or $400,000?” he asked. “Nobody???” Carolyn Wells raised her hand. “Well, I’m in that $200,000 category, but I just don’t want to say it and get everybody in here to come around trying to borrow money!” The room broke up. I saw a piece of lemon pie with mile-high meringue to kill for, but had to get back to work. Next time I’m staying for bingo! Notes to know: ■ Wimberly said the AARP tax preparers will come to the Heiskell Center if there is demand. “Call Janice White if you want us to come,” he said. ■ IRS won’t let us file our income tax this year until Jan. 30, because the agency is retooling its computer. But the April 15 deadline to pay has not been extended. ■ How long must one

keep one’s tax documents? Three years unless you’ve committed fraud. Then it’s forever. There’s no statute of limitations on fraud. ■ The AARP group is backed by IRS which provides professional software. ■ The free service is for those over age 60 with income less than $275,000 and no rental property or farm income. ■ Computers trigger 90 percent of IRS audits. “For the most part, Congress just extended and made permanent the Bush tax cuts which would have expired at the end of 2012,” Wimberly said. “If you’re not working, not paying into Social Security, there was no change for you.”

The guys from LBMC The story from Fountain City was different as two high-powered CPAs talked about tax law changes for business owners. The conference room at Virginia College was

packed. It was the biggest crowd yet for the Fountain City Business and Professional Association. “Thanks for coming,” I said to Ben Alexander afterwards. “If we were paying you for this advice, we could not afford it.” “Sometimes I don’t think I can afford myself,” said Alexander, who specializes in trusts at Lattimore Black Morgan & Cain. Fountain City BPA president Andrew Hartung is a CPA with LBMC, and he also spoke. The presentation in full is available on the organization’s website at www.fountaincitybusiness. com. Thanks to the speedy work of board member Daniel Monday, it’s already posted. And trust me, these guys say it better than anything I could write. It was a good day in Heiskell and Fountain City, but perhaps a bit funnier at Heiskell.

News from Office of Register of Deeds

Strong December powers 2012 By Sherry Witt A

Count the tires (we guess 144) on the trailer that hauled the cyclotron to its home at Provision Center for Proton Therapy at Dowell Springs.

Proton accelerator arrives

After weeks of preparation, the 220-ton cyclotron proton accelerator ended an 8,000 mile journey that began in Belgium and ended at Provision Center for Proton Therapy off Middlebrook Pike last week. The machine arrived by barge at the Forks of the River Industrial Park and was brought by truck to Dowell Springs. TDOT coordinated the transport. This is a significant milestone, said Mary Lou DuBois, president of the center. The cyclotron is at the heart of the equipment that will generate high-speed protons used to treat some

of the most difficult cancer patients. “We are currently on track to treat patients by the first quarter of 2014.” The cyclotron, which accelerates the protons to twothirds the speed of light before they are formed into a treatment beam, is the core piece of equipment used in proton therapy, an alternative to standard X-ray radiation for the treatment of cancer. The center will be one of only 14 centers in the United States and the first proton therapy center in Tennessee. Info: www.provisionproton.com or 684-2616.

December closed out the year for the local real estate and mor tgage lending markets. December brought us Witt 788 property transfers, 81 more sales than occurred in November. It also bested the December 2011 totals by nearly 200 transfers. The aggregate value of properties transferred this December was just over $200 million, surpassing November by some $55 million. December was especially strong on the lending side, producing about $461 million in mortgage loans and refinancing. That’s nearly $100 million past the mark set in November. For the calendar year, 2012 saw about $360 million more in mortgage lending than 2011. The largest property transfers of the month involved commercial developments. One was for the property on Hardin Valley

Road where Food City is located, which sold to White Realty and Service Corporation for $7.25 million. The other was the former Robert Shaw property at Fulton Bottoms. The future site of a large retail development known as University Commons sold for around $8.2 million. In mortgage transactions, the largest was the financing for the University Commons, which came in at $50 million. Coming in second was a loan involving Wesley Park at Deane Hill Apartments for just under $23 million. We are certainly hopeful that the trend set during the latter half of 2012 will continue into 2013 and beyond, and that the housing market will move toward full recovery. Those of us in the Register’s office, as well as all of Knox County, lost someone very special last week. Mary Lou Horner was a friend and mentor to many. Her tireless devotion to her community and compassion for people, both as a citizen and as a commissioner, was a true example of what a public servant should be. Mary Lou will be dearly missed by all.

Andy Hoffman, owner and driver of the monster truck “Nitemare,” visited the Advance Auto Parts at 5104 Clinton Highway prior to the Monster Jam event. His 2006 Chevrolet is 12 feet wide with a 540 cubic foot motor, 1500 horsepower and weighs close to 10,000 pounds. Hoffman builds his monster trucks from scratch and Nitemare is his third one. He has almost finished building a fourth one, a 1955 Chevrolet station wagon, which he may name “War Wagon.” Hoffman is on an 11-week tour. “I like coming down to the South. The weather is pretty nice, especially this weekend,” he said. He is from colder country up in northern Indiana. Recently Hoffman won a race, earning him points to help qualify to compete in the world finals in Las Vegas this March. That is his goal. “I really love it. It’s a lot of fun. I’ve been doing this 20

years,” Hoffman said. “It’s a real adrenaline rush with the noise, the power ... and I enjoy seeing the kids. “It brings a smile to me when the little kids come up and are in awe at how big the truck is. When you start it, they really get excited.” Heather Wilson brought her children Emily, Brady and Blake to see Nitemare and meet the driver. “It’s very cool!” Emily exclaimed about her favorite monster truck. “We have probably hundreds of toy monster trucks at home,” Heather said. “They take up the whole living room when we line them up.” “The Monster Jam is a nice family event,” said David Hammock, Advance Auto Parts store manager. The store served free food and refreshments to people who came to see Nitemare. They also gave away $5 off coupons to get the toy monster trucks for close to free.

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

Hip patient impressed with care at Fort Sanders Joint Center Dorothy Parker was tired of living with hip pain. A degenerative hip condition and problems from a previous hip surgery had left Parker immobile and in constant pain. “I got to where I couldn’t walk and it hurt all the time,” explains the 61-year-old retired nurse. When Parker’s physician recommended that she seek help from orthopedic surgeon Dr. Brian Edkin of the Fort Sanders Joint Center, she was skeptical. “I was scared to get my hip redone, because my ﬁrst surgery at another hospital didn’t go well,” says Parker. But Parker was quickly impressed with Dr. Edkin. “Dr. Edkin is a miracle worker! He found the problem with my hip and carefully explained everything he would do to correct it,” says Parker. Parker also read a hip surgery guidebook given to her by the Joint Center staff. “It helped me know what to expect,” she says. Dr. Edkin performed hip replacement surgery on Parker in November at Fort Sanders Regional. Parker says it was a very positive experience. “I was so impressed with Dr. Edkin and the Fort Sanders Joint Center nurses.” As a former nurse, Parker was

Parker is now recovering at home and is looking forward to being completely mobile again. “I’m very active and independent, so not being able to walk has been hard for me,” says Parker. “I love life and can’t wait to be out in the garden this spring tending my ﬂowers again.” Parker, whose children were both born at Fort Sanders Regional decades ago, says Fort Sanders is “her hospital.” “I won’t go anywhere else but Fort Sanders ever again,” she states.

The skinny on hip surgery Hip replacements are among the most important medical advancements of the last century, with some 193,000 total replacements every year in the United States, according to the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons. Replacements are most commonly done in patients over the age of 50, whose hips have been damaged from the cumulative effects of arthritis. The hip is one of the body’s largest weight-bearing joints. It has two main parts: the ball (or head) at the top of the thigh and the socket (acetabulum) in the hip bone. In a healthy joint, the ball and socket are both coated in a smooth covering, called cartilage, and bathed in a small amount of fluid. This enables the two parts of the hip to move freely. But over time, arthritis can wear away at the cartilage in a hip joint. As cartilage wears, the resulting boneon-bone scraping is painful and can damage the underlying bone. Surgical options for hip pain include: ■ Arthroscopy – A minimally-invasive procedure in which loose cartilage or bone fragments are removed through very small incisions. ■ Osteotomy – For younger patients with early arthritis and hip dysplasia and an abnormally shallow hip socket, the bones of the hip and thigh bone are reshaped and realigned to decrease pressure in the joint. This may delay the need for future hip surgery for a decade or more. ■ Traditional hip replacement – Uses a 10- to 12-inch incision on the side of the hip, the muscles are split open and the ball and socket of the hip are cut away. A new artificial prosthesis ball and socket, made of a combination of metal, ceramics and plastics, are attached to the bone, typically with special surgical cement. The muscles are reattached, and the surgical site closed. Recovery usually takes at least two months, but most patients have a significant improvement in quality of life and reduction of pain.

Small blessings When Leila Lott had to give up horseback riding for medical reasons several years ago, she was heartbroken. “I’ve had horses since I was 12,” says Lott, owner/ operator of Estate Solutions in South Knoxville. “I love the connection – working with them, bonding with them.” She thought those days were over. Then she met Pistol Pete. He has an official name – it’s long and complicated and included in a registry somewhere, but “I can’t ever remember what it is. I just call him ‘Pistol Pete.’” Pistol Pete is a miniature horse. Bred from many sources including miniature ponies and full-sized horses,

Carol’s Critter Corner mini horses are small animals with big personalities. Though they have all the typical equine characteristics, they top out at about 38 inches tall. Lott says, “This is the perfect way to interact safely with a horse – I’m having the time of my life.” Lott works with trainer Ricky Wardlaw, who owns

Cygnet Farm in Friendsville and is passionate about the breed. He comes from a horsey family and grew up around horse shows, but he has concentrated on minis for about a dozen years. “I chose them specifically,” he says. “I love these horses. People assume they’re just cute little pets, but they are serious animals and should be treated with dignity.” With 25 horses on his property, he coaches them and their owners – who come from all over the country and range in age from 5 to 80 – to compete in categories such as driving, jumping and obstacles. And he’s proud to point out that all of his clients have won national The barn on Tate Coley Road after restoration and/or world championships. Mini horses’ even temperament and natural sensitivity make them ideal therapy animals suitable for work with nursing home residents and stroke victims. Wardlaw has had several physicallyhandicapped clients, includStacked fieldstones support this barn, ing an amputee. a technique frequently used to cut All of that is impressive costs for a foundation.

Powell Playhouse Inc. Presents

Would you like a horse of your own? Sugar Plum is an 18-year-old former rental horse. She is very healthy and up to date on shots, Coggins, deworming and farrier care. While we've not had time to evaluate her under saddle (she is scheduled to be ridden tomorrow), we are very hopeful that she is a calm and sensible horse under saddle. She is approx. 14.3h tall. We do have Open House and Adoption Day this Saturday from 10 am-2 pm. Our Tack Shack will be open that day as well for anybody shopping for horse equipment ranging from saddles to bridles to boots and blankets. All items in the store are donated and proceeds benefit Horse Haven.
