Two women at the well Wells were important meeting places in the Bible. They were necessary in that arid land for the life-giving water they stored, and they functioned much as town squares do today. Someone from every household in the village went to the well at least once a day. Lynn Hutton recounts two biblical encounters at the very same well, roughly 1,300 years apart.

Seniors learn self-defense By Ruth White

Christi Shields jokes that one reason she chose to become a kindergarten teacher was because she’d never have to grow up. Knox County Schools extended kindergarten to a full day this year. Previously, kindergarten students went home at 1 p.m. Shields says the move has gone well.

Senior adults at the Halls Senior Center stepped up their game and learned practical techniques for defending themselves against unwanted attacks during a recent self-defense workshop. Fifth-degree black belt Kathryn Eldridge used her Isshinryu karate skills and her knowledge of gerontology to help seniors defend themselves and enhance their balance through exercise. Eldridge began the class with exercises to help with circulation and warm up the muscles. Following the warm-up, Eldridge handed out different types of defensive sticks, including an umbrella, walking stick, cane and a plastic tube. She demonstrated four techniques – upper block, side block, windshield wiper and gouging – and then let the class practice its skills. Following the stick defense instruction, Eldridge worked the group through a series of courses to test and work on balance. “Loss of balance is one of the top causes of falls,” said Eldridge. Working through the agility course helps identify an area of weakness in balance and allows an individual to work on the area. The final part of the course involved self-defense in the event of an abduction attempt. “First rule of thumb is to not let someone grab you,” said Eldridge.

Local animal clinics merge By Sandra Clark Dr. Sharon Startup is selling her practice at Beaverbrook Animal Hospital to Dr. Thom Haig of Powell Animal Hospital. Dr. Ashley Walker is already working at the Powell facility, located at 205 Star Mountain Way behind the Powell Branch Library. Haig, who purchased Powell Animal Hospital from founder Dr. Jim Sternberg in 2008, said the two clinics have been “good neighbors for about 300 years.” “We’re going to be one, big happy family,” Dr. Walk-

Powell Animal Hospital will retain both phone numbers: 938-1884 and 6882921. Clinic hours are 7:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. weekdays and Saturdays 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. In a letter, Dr. Startup said she will miss the connection with her clients and their pets. “I have gotten to know your families and your stories … each of you

Republicans movin’ and shakin’ By Anne Hart Knox County Republicans will elect a new party chair at 10 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 2, at Central High School. Candidates Buddy Burkhardt, Ruthie Kuhlman and John Gabriel will speak at the Halls Republican Club at 7 p.m. today (Jan. 21). The meeting will be at the Halls Community Park (where early voting is held) since Charley’s Pizza has closed. Precinct committees reorganized last Thursday amid the season’s first snow. The party’s offices at the

Gabriel, Kuhlman and Burkhardt warmed up their routine last week at the West Knox Republican Club. The three have distinctly different backgrounds and styles, and each champions party growth, keeping the offices currently held by Republicans and adding to that number, and bet-

of officers that includes two newcomers to the club – Alexander Waters, a law student at UT who worked with the Romney campaign in East Tennessee last year, and Alex Roehl,

an architect with the Cope firm who is active with the Young Republicans. The two represent a lot of hard work by Kuhlman, who recruited them as part of her goal to bring more young people into the party.

NEWS FROM SUSAN DODD, MD PLLC

Focused on providing the best in women’s health care There is perhaps no health care relationship that is as important to a woman as the one she has with her gynecologist. This is the doctor she will visit, well or sick, at least once a year. This is the doctor who will play a key role in her health throughout her life, ranging from annual exams to treatment of a variety of disorders to menopausal counseling. This is the doctor with whom she may discuss her most intimate concerns. Dr. Susan Dodd is a native of Sevier County and has practiced obstetrics and gynecology since 1987 and now focuses exclusively on gynecology. Dr. Dodd is a highly accomplished physician, professor, and community volunteer with a true passion for her profession: providing quality and personalized women’s care in a welcoming environment. It’s no surprise she’s been recognized as a “Top Doc” in Cityview magazine annually since 2002, as a YWCA Tribute to Women human services honoree, and as a Girl Scout Woman of Achievement, among other honors.

The power of listening One of the things for which Susan Dodd is most known – and appreciated – is her gracious bedside manner. She’s a natural listener who puts her patients at ease as they share their concerns. Dr. Dodd is incredibly thorough while being very easy to talk to and is known by patients and colleagues alike for her down-to-earth approach.

It’s not a job – it’s a passion “Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life” is a quote that has been attributed to Confucius and perfectly describes Dr. Susan Dodd. For her, gynecology is not a job – it’s a passion. She truly enjoys practicing medicine and helping her patients live healthy lives, and it shows.

The latest in medical knowledge and treatments Along with her noteworthy patient focus and bedside manner, Dr. Dodd stays abreast of all current recommendations on the full range of women’s health testing, and she explains poten-

tially intimidating medical information in terms her patients can understand. In addition to board certiﬁcations from the National Board of Medical Examiners, the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology, and the American Registry of Diagnostic Medical Sonography, Dr. Dodd is a published author of papers on numerous women’s health topics in medical journals.

Dr. Dodd’s offices on Parkwest Boulevard include an on-site ultrasound room.

Convenient surgical privileges at multiple hospitals Dr. Dodd’s new ofﬁce is located on Parkwest Boulevard in West Knoxville, but she enjoys surgical privileges at UT Medical Center, Parkwest Hospital, and Tennova. This gives her patients a full range of options regarding hospital care should they need surgical treatment.

Now Accepting New Patients

Accepting new patients

Teaching and mentoring young physicians As an assistant professor at the University of Tennessee Medical Center since 1987 and also as a clinical assistant professor at the James H. Quillen College of Medicine at East Tennessee State University, Dr. Dodd stays on the leading edge of medical knowledge and treatments. Among her many recognitions, one of which she is most proud is being honored with the Chief Residents Award for Excellence in Teaching at the University of Tennessee Research Memorial Hospital.

When practicing obstetrics in addition to gynecology, Dr. Dodd had a full patient list and was not accepting new patients. With her current focus exclusively on gynecology, Dr. Dodd is now accepting new patients for the ﬁrst time in years and welcomes your transfer to her practice.

government Gilbert out at Pension Board The city Pension Board at its Jan. 10 meeting added council member Finbarr Saunders to the search committee to find a successor to retiring executive director Mike Cherry (who stays to the end of 2013).

Victor Ashe

Saunders represents city council on the Pension Board. The committee also chose Greg Coker as its chair. It is now a 4-member committee. It will advertise for applicants and all meetings will operate under the open meetings law. ■ Bill Mason, attorney for the Kennerly Montgomery law firm, which has represented the city Pension Board for 40 years (starting in 1972) advised Mayor Rogero (who is chair) that Bud Gilbert, former state senator, who had represented the Pension Board for 22 years, would no longer be in that capacity as he was no longer with the firm. Mason, who has handled many pension issues over the course of his law practice, has replaced Gilbert for Kennerly Montgomery and attended the recent board meeting. Interestingly, it was not Gilbert who advised the board of his departure. Gilbert is not currently practicing law. ■ There is discussion among Pension Board members as to whether the position of legal counsel will be put out for an RFQ so all attorneys who wish to be considered can apply, or whether Kennerly Montgomery will continue as counsel. The last time the Pension Board solicited qualifications was 10 years ago. Gilbert and his former law firm retained the business after the process was concluded. Mason, who has an excellent legal reputation, would likely seek to continue representing the Pension Board. However, the Board will discuss the matter at its February meeting as the city Law Department sent the Board a plan to start an RFQ. However, the city Pension Board is independent from the executive branch of

city government and is not obligated to accept the Law Department’s recommendations, even on an RFQ. Rogero and Saunders are known to favor a RFQ. Some local public bodies routinely put out a request for qualifications for professional services such as auditors or attorneys, and others do not. It is considered a best practice to do this on a 3- to 5-year basis. There is little consistency among public boards in this practice. ■ Greg Mackay, the new head of the Public Assemblies, which includes Chilhowee Park and the Civic Auditorium and Colesium, will make $98,000 a year as a starting salary. His predecessor, Bob Polk, who had been there 17 years, made $115,000 a year when he retired. It is normal for a new person to start at a lesser salary than the person he replaced. Mackay reports to the mayor whereas Polk reported to the former Auditorium Board. ■ Mayor Rogero has joined Mayor Dean of Nashville and Mayor Wharton of Memphis to endorse Democratic Party treasurer Dave Garrison to become state party chair as state Democrats pick a new chair at their Jan. 26 meeting in Nashville. Democrats in Tennessee today have lower numbers than the Republicans had in the depth of Watergate or after the Goldwater 1964 electoral loss. What is unusual here is the level of partisan activity that these three nonpartisan mayors, who all happen to be Democrats, are displaying. They certainly have every right to endorse anyone for any office, but why get involved in an internal Democratic Party fight (4 persons are seeking the position)? It does indicate all three are playing an active role in rebuilding the state Democratic Party. Given the current state of the Tennessee Democratic Party, whoever becomes state chair has an uphill struggle to put Democrats back into state offices. Bill Haslam is a clear favorite to win a second term in 2014, as is Lamar Alexander to win a third U.S. Senate term, also in 2014. Democrats’ best shot is to win some state House or Senate seats and start their slow rebuilding process there.

Lyons deciphers ‘The Signal and the Noise’ In 2008, political junkies all over the country (and perhaps the world) bookmarked Nate Silver’s FiveThirtyEight blog to get his running predictions on the presidential race as well as other important national and state contests. His blog was named for the total number of votes in the Electoral College.

Betty Bean His uncanny accuracy made him legendary. Named one of Time Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People in 2009, Silver, 34, began his professional life as a sabermetrician (an analyst of baseball statistics). By 2012, the New York Times had given him a home on its web page, where once again, his following ballooned during the presidential race. And once again, he

was astoundingly accurate. While public pollsters’ prognostications fluctuated wildly between the two candidates, finally settling on an expectation of a photo-finish that could yield an electoral vote win and a popular vote loss, Silver, who steadfastly forecast the probability of a clean Obama victory, gained millions of fans and not a few detractors (mostly among disgruntled losers). His book, “The Signal and the Noise: Why Most Predictions Fail, but Some Don’t,” became an instant best-seller, even though it was completed long before Election Day and didn’t deal with the Romney/Obama race. City Policy Director Bill Lyons, who devoted a considerable chunk of his career as a political science professor, statistician and pollster, might be the bestqualified guy in Knoxville to review Silver’s book, and despite bad weather, he drew

a healthy crowd at the inaugural session of “Books Sandwiched In,” Knox County Public Library’s new monthBill Lyons ly lunchtime book discussion at the East Tennessee History Center. Lyons gave the book two thumbs-up, and said Silver, who analyzes and aggregates data but doesn’t do polls himself, did a masterful job of explaining how he used Bayesian statistics to synthesize past results and current sample data and come up with predictions. “The signal is the truth and the noise distracts us from the truth,” Lyons said. “Romney and his folks really believed they were going to win. Apparently they believed that from the evidence they chose to utilize, including things like ‘vibes’ (that they perceived from

drawing large crowds). There was quite a bit of looking for Nate Silver to get his comeuppance.” Silver used hedgehog and fox analogies to explain two classes of predictors: hedgehogs are ideology-driven and choose statistics that fit their views; foxes are nonideological and avoid bias. Silver, of course, is a fox. Several of Romney’s favorite pollsters, unfortunately for the candidate, were hedgehogs. “We all make decisions based on variables choosing probable outcomes … But we’re always operating in uncertainty,” Lyons said, ticking off subject areas that illustrate his point: “Baseball, politics, weather, economic trends: Why did nobody predict the economic downturn? The weather – that usually works pretty well. “Do we really have a good model that we understand, or do we just paddle around in a sea of data that we really don’t understand?”

Law proposes to consolidate accounting By Betty Bean The state comptroller’s office is pushing a bill called the County Financial Management System Act of 2013 that will move school and general government finance departments into the office of the county mayor. It is a local option bill, which means counties can opt in by a 2/3 vote of county commission. It is not drafted to include Knox or other counties with a charter, and it has not yet been filed. Rep. Ryan Haynes, who chairs the new State Government Committee, says this bill is news to him: “I haven’t had an opportunity to discuss this bill with the comptroller’s office, but I’ve got great concerns, so much so that I think others will as well.” Jason Mumpower, chief of staff for Comptroller Justin Wilson, said the bill “is not in any shape, form or fashion mandatory.” Currently, counties are operating under the Financial Management Act of 1981. Before that, the most recent overhaul of the Financial Management Act was in 1957. “Those two (dates) alone might tell you it’s time to adopt an updated act,” Mumpower said. “It is not mandatory – we’re just providing another tool.” Mayor Tim Burchett likes the idea and wishes the bill included Knox County. “I’d like to have more control,” he said. “Currently (the school system) has control of 62 percent of the budget, but unfortunately, this bill won’t apply to us unless the sponsor of the bill added us to it.

Descendant of Campbell Stationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s founder dies

On Nov. 20, the last remaining Campbell in the Concord-Farragut area passed into history and the town lost its only remaining First Family member. John Steele Campbell was the great grandson of â&#x20AC;&#x153;elderâ&#x20AC;? David Campbell, who along with Col. David Campbell, Andrew Campbell and James Campbell founded Campbellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Station, which is now the town of Farragut. The Campbell cousins, emigrants from Ulster, Scotland, migrated here from Augusta County, Va., and arrived on March 7, 1787 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; two years before George Washington was elected president in 1789. They followed Indian and wild game trails along the crests of ridges through primeval forests until they discovered a large spring where the Farra-

Malcolm Shell

gut baseball diamond is now located. They built their cabins a few hundred yards west of the spring in what is now the Campbell Station Road and Kingston Pike intersection. At that time Campbellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Station was the westernmost settlement on the frontier. It later became the staging area for settlers moving west to the Cumberland Settlements and on to Nashborough (now Nashville). These early pioneers struggled against formidable

Heartwarming crafts and food By Cindy Taylor

Fifty-six years seems like a long time to most people. According to Joan and Floyd Rutherford, it goes by in a flash. The two have accumulated 112 years of creativity during their 56-year marriage. Floyd retired 30 years ago when his company closed down. Since that time he has farmed and raised cattle. Five years ago, at age 76, he discovered a new talent. From gun cabinets to shoeshine boxes to toys, Rutherford has designed and built items out of wood harvested from his property. He takes the wood to a nearby sawmill for cutting and then places it under a shed in his backyard until it is cured, a 6-month process, and ready for his nimble fingers to form it into a beautiful work of art. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just wanted something

else to do,â&#x20AC;? said Rutherford. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t grow up doing this and never really thought about it before five years ago.â&#x20AC;? Rutherford takes the wood from a rough piece to a sleek finished product. After completing his first piece, he realized he had both talent and a love for woodworking. He inscribes the date on each finished piece. His favorite wood is walnut or cedar, and his shop is his haven. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sleep and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be in my shop as early as 5 a.m.â&#x20AC;? He has built many items that are scattered through-

odds to establish homes in an area where the native inhabitants were less than enthusiastic about their new neighbors. These were hardy men who had gained a reputation for bravery during the Revolutionary War at the Battle of Kingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mountain, and the experience would serve them well during the early years at the Station. Although John had been my acquaintance for many years, I got to know him well when he invited me to become the treasurer of historic Pleasant Forest Cemetery, which was established by his cousin, Col. David Campbell, in 1800. John was president of the Pleasant Forest Cemetery Commission for 44 years until his death and took great pride in relating its history to school kids who visited on

field trips. And I am sure that no one who purchased a lot there left the premises without knowing a lot about the cemeteryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history. Over the past 17 years, John related many stories to me about his ancestors and the challenges they faced during the first nine years at the Station. Nine years after they arrived they felt safe enough to leave the fort and establish farms in the area. John lived on the farm his great-grandfather established in 1796. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Elderâ&#x20AC;? David Campbell built a log block house on the exact spot where the white clapboard two-story home exists today. He once related that his great uncle James Campbell, who was known at â&#x20AC;&#x153;Big Jimmy,â&#x20AC;? was huge, standing seven feet tall and weighing more

out his home; bookshelves, the kitchen table, side tables, benches and one of his favorites, his wifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recipe box. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love to eat as much as I love to work with wood,â&#x20AC;? said Rutherford. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I made her a recipe box and shelves to hold her cookbooks so I get lots of cakes and pies.â&#x20AC;? While Floyd is in his workshop outside, Joan is in the kitchen whipping up goodies. She is well-known in Union County for her cooking. Her kitchen wall is filled with certificates she has been awarded for her food creations. Joan is always happy to share her recipes with others. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have a friend who asked me for some of my recipes,â&#x20AC;? said Joan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a typewriter or computer so I hand wrote a bunch of my recipes and put them in a

book for her.â&#x20AC;? Rutherford is often asked to bring her homemade fried apple pies or chocolate pie, Floydâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favorite, to family and community events. A shelf made by Floyd holds dozens of her favorite cookbooks. Union County is full of unique folks, and Floyd and Joan Rutherford are two very special, talented people. Joan has shared her recipe for date nut rolls with Shopper readers. Cook until well blended: 1 Cup brown sugar, 1 stick margarine, 2 eggs and 1 box chopped dates. While mixture is hot, add 1 cup coconut, 2 cups Rice Krispies and 1 cup finely chopped nuts. Blend well. Shape into balls when cool and roll in powdered sugar.

than 400 pounds. When they realized that they were being watched by the native people, they would send Big Jimmy out to walk around the fort. Apparently the natives were so awed by his size, they decided if they are all big as him, maybe the Campbells should be left alone. John spent most of his life farming the land left to him by his grandfather, and although he was involved for a while at a farm machinery company, his real love was farming. And he always put out a garden even when he was in his 80s. I could always count on John ringing our doorbell in early summer with fresh corn, tomatoes and other produce. I also had the opportunity to serve with John on the Farragut Folklife Museum Guid-

ance Committee. Along with the town of Farragutâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first mayor, Bob Leonard, John was a valuable resource on the early history of our area. Like so many persons who pass away in their elder years, he had survived many of his friends. His passing and burial services were mostly a family affair. But that is the way John would have wanted it. He accomplished things in a low-key manner and he passed away in the manner in which he had lived: quietly and without much fanfare. For those who knew him, John Steele Campbell will always be remembered when driving past Pleasant Forest Cemetery or through the intersection of Kingston Pike and Campbell Station Road, where his great grandfather built his cabin 226 years ago.

Two women at the well While Jacob was still speaking with them, Rachel came with her father’s sheep; for she kept them. Now when Jacob saw Rachel, the daughter of his mother’s brother Laban, and the sheep of his mother’s brother Laban, Jacob went up and rolled the stone from the well’s mouth, and watered the flock of his mother’s brother Laban.

usually done by the women, and thus the visit to the well became a social occasion too. The women visited, caught up on village news, gossiped, joked, teased, empathized and encouraged each other, much like women of today. The snippets of Scripture quoted above, however, recount two encounters at the very same well, roughly 1,300 years apart. These stories are strange to us, and at the same time, they are very familiar. Jacob looked at Rachel, saw a beautiful young woman and fell in love. Jesus, on the other hand, saw the Samaritan woman, looked deep into her soul, and told her the truth about herself.

Important things happened at that well. Jacob found the love of his life. The Samaritan woman found truth, meaning, freedom and a Savior. Where are the places and the moments in our own lives when love and truth intersect? It is vital for each of us to have someone in our lives who loves us enough to tell us the truth. That person can be a parent, sibling, child, spouse, friend, pastor or colleague. And we, for our part, have to be willing to hear that truth. Like Joseph, we may come to the well seeking only water and find that we have discovered love. Like the Samaritan woman, we may come to the well

seeking only water, and find – to our surprise – that we have discovered truth, direction, meaning, liberation, salvation. Both Joseph and the woman were surprised. That is how God works. Sometimes, God sneaks up on us and pours out blessings, drenching us with love, laughter, joy, freedom, contentment. Other times, we have to make the trek to the well, and we have to carry that heavy container to hold the water. Then, and only then, will we receive what God has stored up for us. My prayer for you is that God will bless you today and every day in all the ways that lead you to drink deeply of His goodness, mercy and love.

Fit for the Father By Cindy Taylor

Glenwood Baptist Church members and friends are getting fit for worship both mentally and physically. Music minister Emily Harbin and pastor Travis Henderson are leading Fit for the Father, which launched Jan. 10 at the church. “We are looking to get fit and healthy,” said Harbin. “Our whole goal is to better serve the Lord and be fit for kingdom work.” Harbin will be facilitating the program and has already lost an entire person with an amazing 125 pound decrease in her weight over the past year and a half. She hopes the program will explode outward and become

a community service. “This is one of those things people can join at any time,” said Henderson. “A lot of our members want to be fit, lose weight and feel better. We wanted to do a program that enables the spirit as well as the body.” Harbin said there will be surprises every week, a physical activity or exercise that will be at the pace of each individual, Bible study and a sharing of information, food and recipes. “If someone can run, we want them to run,” said Harbin. “If walking is all you can do, then that will be your exercise. Plus we’ll engage in some fun things too.” Weigh-ins will be discreet

and private, and the book “Every Body Matters” will guide the study, along with biblical teaching. Harbin and Henderson will be sharing what they have learned during their journeys toward a healthier lifestyle. “If our bodies are fit we can serve God better,” said Henderson. “Hopefully losing weight will be a side effect of that.” One-time cost is $20 for supplies regardless of how many sessions you attend. Meetings will be at 6 p.m. every 2nd and 4th Thursday at the Glenwood Baptist gym. Enter at the side of the building. Info: 938-2611 or psthenderson@frontier.

Lunch Bunch gets bookish By Wendy Smith In spite of rumors that we will soon become a paperless society, Knox County Public Library marketing and community relations director Mary Pom Claiborne isn’t worried. “Libraries are more relevant than ever,” she told the Episcopal Church of the Ascension Lunch Bunch last week. The community is invited to the monthly program, which is held from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. on third Tuesdays in the church’s Parish Hall at 800 Northshore Drive. Claiborne wasn’t just another guest speaker. She attended while growing up, and still considers it her home church. She gave a brief history of the library and predicted its future. Knoxville’s first libraries were subscription reading rooms, and the last of those merged with the Lawson McGhee Library, which was founded in 1886. The Knox County

Mary Pom Claiborne is flanked by her mom, Bebes Claiborne (at right) and Episcopal Church of the Ascension Lunch Bunch committee member Carol Schmid (at left). Mary Pom, who is with the Knox County Public Library, spoke to the Lunch Bunch last week. Carol and Bebes have been friends since their college days. Photo by Wendy Smith Public Library is the oldest continuously open public library in the state. Claiborne is particularly proud that the Knox County Public Library was desegregated in 1951, three years before the historic Brown vs. Board of Education ruling disallowed “separate but equal” public schools.

The library system also set itself apart by becoming one of the first in the state to offer digital audiobooks. It has since broken ground with its e-book collection, which now includes 11,000 titles. One of the most important services offered by the library is Internet access, Claiborne said.

“The Internet, these days, is as essential as electricity.” While the digital world is having an impact on the library, printed books are still in high demand. While e-books are grabbing headlines, Claiborne says they’re just another format, like audio books or large print books, and she doesn’t see any format going away any time soon. “The digital world is here to stay, and we are keeping pace with it,” she said. Claiborne encouraged the Lunch Bunch to attend “A Presidential Conversation with Jon Meacham” at 7:30 p.m. Monday, Feb. 18, at the Bijou Theatre. Meacham is a Pulitzer Prize-winning author of four books, including “Thomas Jefferson: The Art of Power.” The President’s Day event is hosted by the East Tennessee Historical Society and Friends of the Knox County Public Library.

NEWS FROM CONSTRUCTION PLUS

A reason to stay Glenda Tipton marks 15 years with Construction Plus By Sandra Clark Today (Jan. 21) is Glenda Tipton’s 15th anniversary as director of accounting and purchasing at Construction Plus. She’s worked for bigger companies but never felt the respect and appreciation that she’s earned from owner Sandy Loy.

Worst things first Glenda Tipton has learned a lot from Sandy Loy. Here are two tips: If you’ve got something hard or unpleasant to do, do it first. Then the rest of your day will go much better. If a competent staff member makes a mistake, acknowledge how she handled getting to a solution. And looks for ways to “have her back” going forward.

“There’s a reason you stay – because it’s a good place to work,” she says. Glenda had read the books about interviewing and negotiating for a job. When she moved here from Chicago, she knew what she didn’t want. Her previous jobs had been with a huge hospital and an international software reseller. She was over, done, finished with corporate America. So she interviewed with Sandy Loy at Construction Plus, expecting a builder to be rough and gruff. Instead she found a visionary who combines attention to detail with hard work to make his clients lifelong friends. During the interview, Sandy asked Glenda for a 3-year commitment and said he would give her the same. It costs money to train someone new. And then he phoned her on his way out of town to offer the job. “There was no time to ‘think it over’ or negotiate. There was no contract, and he wanted me to start on Monday. I said yes.” Over time, Glenda has taken on more responsibility. Sometimes she can anticipate what ﬁ le or manual Sandy needs even before he asks for it. “My job is more than a checklist of tasks,” she says. “I handle the day-in, day-out stuff so Sandy is free to take care of clients and grow the business.”

Tasks abound “My last job was for a company with 150 employees at our location and ofﬁces in several cities and abroad. The corporate culture was of intimidation and stress. I really like the atmosphere of a smaller company where you get to know the boss and the clients. “I understand Sandy’s vision, and construction is surprisingly fun. Each project is unique, and we all get to know each client. After each job is ﬁnished, I’ll drive by and see it. “For example, we built the Icearium Cool Sports in Farragut. Every time I see it on TV I think, ‘Wow! That’s so cool. We built that.’” Glenda says a project start-up is hectic as subcontractors are hired and contracts drafted. “We might have 20 subs on a project, and on the big jobs we might get bids from all over the country.”

Things are calmer during construction, and then speed up again near completion when Glenda assembles large binders with manuals for everything in the building. “Even the faucets have paperwork,” she says. The binders are handed over to the owner upon completion of a job. Each contains information about the ﬁre and security system and HVAC, etc. “This is Sandy’s lifework and he takes a lot pride in each job. That feeling trickles down to me and the subcontractors. Our highest praise is a call-back or referral from a happy client.”

25th anniversary Construction Plus Inc. is celebrating its 25th year in 2013. During the next few months, we’ll talk about former clients and projects over the company’s history.

strip it down to the frame inside and out. It’s great to turn something old into something useful, new and modern.” The company got a callback from a neighbor in the business park. Seems the owner is renting to a new tenant and needs several upgrades. It’s a smaller project, but will draw everyone’s full attention. “Before I started here, I would have thought construction was boring or bland. A lot is the same, Construction Plus is currently but there’s always something that working for Cherokee Health makes it unique. On one project, Systems on projects in Morris- we found a sinkhole. That was a town and 5th Avenue in Knox- big surprise for everybody since ville. The local project is a com- we’d had core drillings. Sandy inplete renovation which Glenda corporated the sinkhole into the calls a “fun project where we will landscaping.

Projects

“Sandy is an architect as well as a builder. He’s very creative as well as technical. So while he’s always looking for ways to improve a project, he’s also looking for ways to save money for clients. “Their hopes, dreams and money – they entrust to us. We take that seriously. We want clients to feel that they got value, maybe even more than they paid for. That’s always fun and exciting.” Fifteen years is half a career for most people, but Glenda Tipton may be an exception. In fact, we may be talking to her 15 years from now as she and Construction Plus continue to build stuff while growing the business.

Shopper-News Presents Miracle Makers

The move to full-day kindergar ten By Jake Mabe Christi Shields jokes that one reason she chose to become a kindergarten teacher was because she’d never have to grow up. The 15-year educator, who has taught at Brickey-McCloud Elementary for the last six years, says while growing up she loved babysitting and working with kids in youth groups and teaching Sunday school at her church. At UT, she began studying psychology, particularly human learning and behavior, but soon decided teaching was her calling. She also holds a master’s degree from Carson-Newman. Knox County Schools extended kindergarten to a full day this year. Previously, kindergarten students went home at 1 p.m. Shields says the move has gone well. “I wasn’t sure how (the students) were going to handle it. They were used to naps. Some were tired at the beginning of the year, but we’ve worked their endurance up by holding shorter activities and having more movement from activity to activity until they could handle longer periods of sitting, writing and reading.” Shields says the longer day “has been awesome for all types of kids,” giving teachers more time to work with struggling students in small groups, for example, or giving students “in the middle” more time for enrichment. “We do a lot of small group work during the day.” She says the extended day has also allowed teachers to integrate more science and social studies into the students’ writing. “Before, we had a hard time getting done by 1 o’clock. Now, we have a lot of time to do writing. It’s been wonderful.” Shields says the students perform “a variety of different things all day long,” including working in small groups, independent reading, and moving to various work stations around the classroom, “mostly literacy related.” Some activities are performed on computers and iPads. “All the activities are things developmentally appropriate for a kindergarten child to do. Sometimes they think they are playing when they are actually learning.” Students are often paired with a partner. Shields selects the pairings, which are switched every nine weeks. “They love it (working with a partner). It’s their absolute favorite part of the day. It also helps them continue to develop socialization skills.” Shields says when students enter kindergarten, the teachers hope they know how to write their names and

are familiar with some letters and sounds. She says “it’s helpful” if the students can count to 10 and rhyme words. She says the students practice learning one letter of the alphabet per day for the first few weeks and then a letter a week, “like the old kindergarten (curriculum).” The first half of the year is dedicated to letters, sounds and phonics, while the second half focuses on writing and reading more difficult text. When they leave kindergarten, students are expected to be able to read simple text and write three to five connecting sentences on a topic. Shields says increased expectations for kindergartners is the biggest change she’s seen in her career. The kindergarten curriculum now is more like the old 1st grade curriculum, she says. “When I first came into teaching, I was basically doing what would now be considered preschool. The expectations have jumped a whole year. Students are expected to read and write by the end of the year when some don’t know their letters at the beginning of the year. It’s a long haul for some of these kids.” Shields left Knox County to teach for five years in Rutherford County after beginning her career at West Haven Elementary. When she returned eight years ago to teach at

Norwood Elementary and saw the increased curriculum for kindergartners, she says, “I didn’t know if they could do this. But it’s amazing the progress you see. They pick it up.” She says the kindergarten teachers at Brickey-McCloud work as a team and that their collaboration is invaluable. “We work in planning sessions on Tuesdays and PLCs (Professional Learning Communities) on Thursdays. When we work in planning sessions, for example, we discuss ideas to get kids from one reading level to another. We all have different talents that everyone brings to the table. Somebody might be strong in phonics or math and we help each other out.” She says the collaboration time has “caused us to be focused.” Each teacher is asked to look for teaching strategies in three areas. Following each PLC meeting, they’re asked to practice them in the classroom, bring

Knox County Council PTA

work samples back to the following week’s session and see how well it worked and whether the other teachers can adopt the strategies. If she could wave a magic wand and receive anything she doesn’t currently have, Shields says it would be more planning time. In addition to the planning and PLC sessions, kindergarten teachers get 45 minutes (extended by 15 minutes this year when kindergarten was expanded to a full day) of designated planning time in their classrooms three days a week. “The rest is after school. It’s really hard to get everything planned. We spend a lot of time here after school to get everything done.” During the course of her career, Shields spent one year teaching 4th grade and one year teaching 1st grade. But kindergarten is where her heart lies. “I love it!” she says with a grin.

Players and coaches received rings during halftime of the Gibbs/Austin East football game this fall.

Mitchell named Sectional Coach of Year By Ruth White If you have ever been around Carol Mitchell, one thing is evident â&#x20AC;&#x201C; she does nothing halfway. She takes her roles in life â&#x20AC;&#x201C; wife, mother, teacher, coach â&#x20AC;&#x201C; very seriously and makes the most of each. It is this drive and determination that took Mitchell and the Gibbs softball team all the way to a ninth state championship and earned her the title 2012 State Coach of the Year and Southern Sectional Coach of the Year. Mitchell is a 1987 graduate of Gibbs High and played on four state championship teams. Following college at

Carson-Newman, she returned to Gibbs and served as an assistant coach under Dennis Ray before taking the reins as head coach. So far, she has coached her teams to four state titles. The key to the success of the program lies in several factors. Mitchell has stayed true to the hard-nose, oldschool approach to the game that she learned from her father, Bob Zachary, and from Ray. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whether on the softball field or life in general, they taught me that by eliminating what is wrong, I can be successful.â&#x20AC;?

Active seniors gain national attention By Alvin Nance Recently, some active seniors at Guy B. Love To w e r s made the national spotlight. The Love Morning Exercise group is Nance featured on the website of the National Institute on Aging to highlight its senior health and fitness initiative, Go4Life. Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday morning the Love Morning Exercise group meets in the social hall to exercise together. While listening and moving to the oldies, they build endurance, strength, balance and flexibility with exercises geared towards seniors over the age of 50. About a year ago, Rita Schwartz, 61, came to Steve Ellis, KCDC’s Love Towers senior asset manager, and asked to start an exercise program. She had been diagnosed with cancer, and wanted to build her strength to fight the disease. She thought other residents may enjoy the exercise too. She started with a few

rials encouraging seniors to get active, eat right and socialize to be healthy in mind, body and spirit. Several in the group have already seen significant health benefits, and their success stories are featured on the National Institute on Aging’s website. Jo Ann Leach has reduced her back pain to the point she no longer needs her walker. Fred Page, who has had several heart surgeries, has seen significant improvement in his blood pressure and heart rate since he began exercising. As for Rita, her cancer is now in remission.

NEWS FROM TEMPLE BAPTIST ACADEMY

Crusaders look for strong finish The Temple Baptist Academy high school basketball team advanced to a 15-6 record with a win over First Baptist Academy of Powell Jan. 15. This was the first meeting between the two Powell schools. First Baptist Powell is in their first year of interscholastic athletics. Administrators from both schools say they hope this first meeting will be the beginning of a competitive, friendly crosstown rivalry. On Jan. 4, the Temple varsity basketball team started off the new year with a big win over their regional arch rival, TriCities Christian School, 50-43. “It was a big win for our team. Hopefully we can carry the momentum through the rest of the season,” said junior guard Justin Sullivan. On Jan. 10, the team travelled to Springfield, Tenn., where they defeated Berean Christian Academy of Hixon, Tenn., to claim the third place trophy in the Middle Tennessee Classic Basketball Tournament. “With about 10 games left to go, I think if we continue to play good defense and play a

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

Recovering from stroke: One woman’s journey Memorial Day, May 28, 2012, is a day Tracy Proctor will never forget. It marks the day that life as she knew it was suddenly turned upside down. The 40-year-old Rockwood woman and her two children were celebrating the holiday weekend with a visit to her parents’ home in Cleveland, Tenn. Tracy, who had been complaining of a headache all day, was in the bathroom with her young daughter when she felt an intense pain in her head. “Suddenly, I felt I couldn’t talk or communicate,” remembers Tracy. “I made it to the couch in the living room, but couldn’t feel anything.” Tracy’s father, Eddie Cox, immediately saw something was very wrong with his daughter. “It happened so quickly. She couldn’t speak or move her arm.” Emergency personnel responded and realized Tracy was having a stroke. She was flown by helicopter to nearby Erlanger Medical Center in Chattanooga, an accredited Primary Stroke Center hospital. Tracy was given medicine to treat the stroke but suffered a brain bleed that incapacitated her. “She was paralyzed and couldn’t eat or swallow. We

Stroke survivor Tracy Proctor enjoys a laugh with Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center recreation therapist Ashley Pinkerton and therapy student Erin Hall. thought we’d lost our daughter,” says her father. “It was touch and go for a long time.” Tracy spent four weeks at Erlanger Medical Center and then was transferred to the Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center in

Knoxville. The staff at Patricia Neal immediately began to help Tracy recover. “They started doing therapy, first in my room,” she remembers. “Then, I began going to the fifth floor for physical, occupa-

tional and speech therapy.” Tracy slowly began to get her functions back. “I went from not being able to talk or move a muscle to getting back to how I used to be,” says Tracy.

At the Center, Tracy was inspired by former stroke patients who volunteer as peer counselors to new stroke patients. “It helped me to see people further along in the process,” she says. “I still have a long way to go, but I know I can get better.” Tracy continues her recovery with regular outpatient speech and physical therapy sessions at Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center. Her family is grateful to see how she’s progressed. “She’s made tremendous progress,” says her dad, Eddie. He was thrilled to see her walking at Thanksgiving. “The wheel chair stayed in the car the whole weekend,” he smiles. Tracy is eager to completely recover and hopes to one day volunteer as a stroke peer counselor. She wants to encourage others who have suffered a stroke. “People should know that it’s bad when it happens, but it’s not the end of the world,” says Tracy. “You can get better, you can recover. It’s just a long process.” For more information about the Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center, visit www.patneal.org or call 865-541-1446.

Recognize the signs of a stroke FAST! The early symptoms of stroke are often overlooked or ignored. If you suspect that you or a loved one is having a stroke, think FAST:

F – FACE: Look at your face. Is one side sagging? A – ARMS: Hold out your arms. Is one arm lower than the other or harder to hold in place? S – SPEECH: Is your speech slurred or garbled? T – TIME: Time is critical when trying to minimize the effects of stroke.

Call 911 and get to a hospital as quickly as possible. And be sure your hospital is a stroke-ready, Primary Stroke Center, like Fort Sanders Regional.

Rebuilding lives at Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center An estimated 6 million people live with some form of paralysis, most often caused by stroke or spinal cord injury. Since 1978, the Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center has offered advanced treatment for stroke, spinal cord injuries and other life-altering events that impair mobility and brain function. “Patricia Neal is an acute inpatient rehabilitation facility,” explains Mary Dillon, M.D., medical director of the Center. “It is a hospital level of care, so the rehabilitation is occurring almost immediately after the acute event. It’s the most intense, comprehensive, specialized care you can find.” With 73 inpatient beds, the Patricia Neal Center is nationally known for its rehabilitation of spinal cord patients. But many don’t realize it’s also accredited for for stroke patients as well. “Our patients work very hard, but it isn’t boot camp,” says Dillon. “We have taken care of all ages, even including someone who was over 100!”

The Patricia Neal Center is also the only four-time winner of the Crystal Award, the top award given for patient satisfaction by Professional Research Consultants, a nationally known health care research company. The designation is given to a health care facility or inpatient specialty unit that scores at or above the 100th Patricia Neal offers state-of- percentile for being the-art equipment that many rated “excellent” by other rehab centers don’t have. patients in overall The center features training quality of care. kitchens, bathrooms and even And perhaps an apartment where patients most importantly, practice everyday tasks. the Patricia Neal Rehabilitation The center holds 15 accredi- Center has a staff of doctors, tations by the Commission on nurses, physical and occupationAccreditation of Rehabilitation al therapists, speech language Facilities and each physician is experts, behavioral medicine board-certified in physical med- specialists, RT case managers, icine and rehabilitation, a spe- dietitians and numerous others cialty not often found in other working together as an interdiscare settings. ciplinary team to develop an in-

Hop to it!

You have a chance to become a scientist, work with the Knoxville Zoo, and have your findings recorded in a national database.

Carol Zinavage

American bullfrog

Carol’s Critter Corner Steve McGaffin, assistant curator of The Knoxville Zoo’s Education Department, is calling for volunteers over the age of 13 to help with the zoo’s annual FrogWatch program. Looking for a way to get your kid away from the video games and out into the yard? This is it. FrogWatch volunteers are asked to monitor a site two times a week at least 30 minutes after dark from February through August. It’s especially ideal for folks who have a pond or stream in their backyard, or who live near a wetland. Frogs need water to breed, and when they breed, they call. “And if they’re not calling,” says McGaffin, “we can’t find them.” These critters are sensitive little guys, and right now they’re having a hard time because of pollution and loss of habitat, among other things. It’s to our advantage to keep them healthy, because they are important indicators of problems that may affect humans. They are, quite literally, small sentinels – monitors of the planet. Add to all that their ability to control pests, and it’s

hard to think of an animal that’s a better friend to us. With the information FrogWatch USA provides, scientists can identify and address concerns about threats posed to frogs. McGaffin and his staff will train volunteers to distinguish among 14 types of frog calls. “That’s the hardest part,” he says. “Most of them are fairly easy to hear, but there are one or two that are kind of similar – it takes a little practice.” You and/ or your child will also learn about the natural history of local frogs and how to collect and submit data. If you have a budding scientist in your house, this is a wonderful opportunity. McGaffin says the information collected will be compiled by staff at the zoo and sent to the Association of Zoos and Aquariums. It will then be added to a national database to be used by scientists worldwide. “This is data they can’t get any other way,” says McGaffin. “The work that these volunteers do is extremely important.” One day of training is all it takes. This year for the first time there are two sessions of training, to be held on Saturday, Feb. 2, and Sunday, Feb. 3, from 10 a.m. – 3 p.m. Info: Steve McGaffin at smcgaffin@knoxvillezoo.org or 637-5331.

The barn located on Cold Stream Farm Road in Madisonville. A metal detector was used on the property and, among other things, bullets from the Civil War were discovered. Photos by K. Woycik

Finding a classic on Cold Stream Farm Aaron Frank of Powell asked if we could feature his grandfather’s barn. He knew the barn was quite old and had a story to tell.

AnimalWorks Providing Solutions to Pet Overpopulation

Intrigued by his email, I took a drive to Monroe County, to the town of Madisonville. I met Aaron and his grandfather Charles Frank, a retiree from Alcoa. The barn was purchased from its original owners by Ranie Frank, Charles Frank’s great-uncle. As to its age, Frank’s granddad thought the barn may have been built before the turn of the last century. Charles said, “It may even be the oldest barn in Monroe County, I’m not sure.” The barn was used for tobacco farming during Charles’ childhood. Times were different. Work on the farm made for long, hard days. Moonshine stills, a crooked legal system and bootlegging existed. “Mom and dad raised us right, to know what work was. More people should be raised that way,” Charles says. The barn hasn’t changed much over the years. In 1955, the wooden boards were removed from the roof and metal was added. In addition to age, termites have added to the barn’s deterioration. Noticing the metal roofing coming off at the pitch of the barn, Charles said, “I need to get up there to fix it. I hate to see it go downhill.” I also saw a hand-dug

Inside the hand-dug well believed to have been built just after the Civil War. 28-foot well, which is older than the barn. It has never gone dry. People used to drive their horses and wagons from miles around to get water. Rainey’s son “Little Charlie” signed his name into a concrete slab when it was added around the well in 1926. The well is believed to have been built just after the Civil War. Years ago, Ranie Frank worked at a store across the street called Short Bark. Aaron is a student at Pellissippi State. He plans to continue the barn’s legacy after it passes from his grandfather to his father to him. Aaron currently hunts on the property and says he does well with deer and wild turkey. Anyone wanting to share the age, history, or story of their barn, please

An example of the traditional craftsmanship used on the Franks’ barn. The barn was built with wooden pegs instead of nails.
