Project to ease erosion along Beaver Creek

Nominate a Miracle Maker

By Jake Mabe When Joe C. Bush first moved into his Mill Run subdivision home in Halls 30 years ago, the portion of Beaver Creek that runs behind his property was about eight feet wide. Now, says Knox County watershed coordinator Roy Arthur, the

creek along Bush’s property is 20 feet wide. Bush contacted Knox County Stormwater about his erosion problem about a year and a half ago. Project manager Tracy Jones and Arthur secured a grant to help address the issue. Six neighboring homeowners also agreed to the project.

Work began last week. Jones says workers have begun pulling the stream banks back to create a 2:1 slope and will plant vegetation to stabilize the bottom of the slope and help ease the erosion. This week, a buffer including trees and branches will be planted, and best management practic-

Haunted house? Lori Tucker led the way into the employee break rooms on the third floor of Greystone, the stately Victorian mansion that houses WATE-TV. It was designed and built in 1885 by Civil War veteran/ U.S. Attorney/coal baron/ landholder Major Eldad Cicero Camp, who for a time used the upper floor as Camp’s Home for Friendless Women. “This is where most of us who work at night don’t come,” Tucker said. “It gives us the heebie-jeebies.”

Minefield makes OR hum By Betty Bean Sitting down for a midday chat with Charlene Minefield is tricky. Her cellphone rings incessantly and the incoming calls trigger brief, rapid-fire outgoing messages alerting her staff that Dr. X is going to be 30 minutes late or that patient Y needs to be brought down to be prepped. Then she picks up her face-toface conversation exactly where she left off. Charlene Minefield (pronounced Minny-field) is a model of efficiency. By noon, she’s been on the job nearly seven hours. “On a typical day, I get here about 5:15 or 5:20. That’s my quiet time, when I read my emails. Around 6, I’ll go to the front

desk, look at my add-ons and start calling my doctors, telling them what time I expect them to be here. The staff starts rolling through around 6:30. “These guys will allow me to look at their cases and I arrange them – we try to do the more complex cases early,” Minefield said. “Usually when doctors first come here, they say ‘Don’t mess with my schedule.’ Then, when they see how smoothly it goes, they say ‘Let her do it.’ I just have to make a believer of them. And if I give you a 7:30 start, I expect you go be here, ready to go.” Her title is Clinical Leader of Surgery at Tennova’s Physicians Regional Medical Center (the one most of us persist in calling St. Mary’s), but people who work with her call her Big Mamma.

Love Shack. We just share love in there.” “She runs the place,” says Dr. Richard Briggs, who has known Minefield since he came to work as a cardiac surgeon at the former St. Mary’s 21 years ago. “She To page A-3

‘Bazaar Babes’ are at it again Christ United Methodist Church will hold its annual bazaar 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 3 at the church, 7525 Maynardville Highway, in front of Temple Acres subdivision.

Jake Mabe MY TWO CENTS Yes, that means I got a call from the Bazaar Babes. Norma Richardson says the bazaar will include crafts, including those pictured here, baked goods, a country store, Rada knives, pecans, white elephants and a knife sharpening. Breakfast and lunch will also be served. The bazaar began at the old Halls Central United

Methodist Church. It has been held for 20 years at the current church site. After I got a shot of the Babes and their crafts, Frances Ryan asked me to stop by the gym. Her husband, Preston, was getting things set up for the annual Halloween festival, which was held last Friday night. When the Ryans started the festival 16 years ago, it was the first of its kind among area churches. Preston makes all of the games. One of the most popular is the dart board, which helps raise money for the Holston Home for Children. This year, $1,100 was raised for the home. A buck will buy 10 tickets, or children could bring canned food. Money raised from tickets and the canned items go to the Halls Welfare Ministry. “We pay for it by recycling aluminum cans,” Frances says. “It’s a fun thing but it’s work!”

The Christ United Methodist Church Bazaar Babes are Jewell Stivers, Carolyn Camp, Mary Baker, Irene Brown, Frances Ryan, Norma Richardson, Dana Gerhardt, Lou Watson and Dory Norris.

made with no political agenda. He said that although law requires that the candidates be ranked in order of preference, the committee decided to leave rankings up to the commissioners. Before voting on the three names, commissioner Bob Crye said he had access to the candidates’ applications but did not participate in the interviews. “I may not have come up with these three people if

Surgery boss makes the surgeons show up on time. I have seen her back surgeons against the wall, sticking her finger in their chest saying, ‘If you’re late one more time, you won’t work in my operating room again.’” Minefield, whose first job out of Austin-East High School in 1979 (she graduated a year early) was working a tray line in the dietary department for a nun called Sister Ethel. She had moved on up to the position of surgical scrub tech by the time Briggs arrived. He says she snookered him at first. “When I first came here, she was washing instruments, which is an entrylevel, minimum wage job. Then they put her on my open heart team, and the first thing I heard out of her was this little humble meek voice, ‘Dr. Briggs, please be nice. I’m just a poor little black girl…’ But I found out pretty quickly that she was very intelligent, a very hard worker and a very special person. “She started out at the very bottom and has worked her way up. “The surgeons across this city would tell you that this is the best run operating room in town, and she’s been recruited all over town. There’s very, very strong competition for the best people, and I’m convinced that if she’d

From page A-1 I had,” he said, but he ultimately voted to approve the committee’s recommendations, as did Julian and Hill. Hill made a motion to rank the candidates with Hutchison first, Cook second and McDonald third, insisting that Hutchison was the most qualified candidate for the position. The motion carried with Hill and Julian voting for and Crye abstaining. Once Burchett receives

From page A-1 had the opportunity starting out, she could be a highpowered CEO. If she were in the Army with me, she’d be a general.” Minefield is modest about her accomplishments, choosing instead to emphasize the hard work that’s gotten her where she is today. She lists the jobs she’s had and the education she has pursued while working full-time – an associate’s degree, R.N. certification and now, she’s working on a bachelor’s degree in nursing, which she will complete next spring. Minefield says she’d have a hard time keeping all the balls in the air without the support of her husband, Cassius Minefield, who does most of the cooking and helps keep the household running right. This is a second marriage for the Minefields, and together they have five children and seven grandchildren. Her youngest daughter, Kierra, is studying nursing at East Tennessee State University. It’s not all work for Minefield, who has forged strong personal relationships with her co-workers. She looks forward to annual “girls trips” with five other nurses, the highlight of which was perhaps a trip to Los Angeles that snagged her an appearance on “The Price is Right.”

“They interviewed over 700 people and Charlene was picked to be a contestant,” Briggs (whom Minefield calls “Uncle”) said. “We waited eight or nine hours in line for Bob Barker – they (her traveling companions) all hated me,” she said. But long hours don’t faze someone who regularly logs 12-hour workdays. “I believe in leading by example, because it’s not fair to ask somebody to stay over unless I do it too, no matter how many hours it takes. I’m going to stay right beside them and help them.” Minefield clearly loves her staff and the physicians with whom she works. “I’ve got a great group of doctors who have helped me a lot. We went to Haiti together three weeks after the earthquake. There were five surgeons and me. The orthopedic guys did leg fractures and arms, and a couple of days I worked in the OR with Dr. Briggs. He’s awesome, just awesome.” Like Briggs and others who work there, Minefield has persevered through uncertain times as her hospital transitioned from St. Mary’s to Mercy to Tennova, but her devotion is unflagging. “This has been my home,” she said. “This is like a family.”

Troy Goodale toasts supporters at campaign fundraiser.

by Betty Bean

Photo

Goodale is underdog – again “I can’t be seen at a Democratic fundraiser,” said an otherwise friendly guy in a plaid shirt at the bar in Chez Liberty as he ducked out of a picture of celebrity bartender Troy Goodale, who was pouring drinks with a bust of Elvis looking over his shoulder and Percy Sledge singing “When a Man Loves a Woman” in the background. “I’m serious,” the plaid shirt guy said. But despite his deep and abiding belief that it’s not a good career move to publicly support the Democrat who’s running for Congress against 24-year incumbent Republican Jimmy Duncan, he likes Goodale so much that he also supported him when he ran against Duncan back in 1992. “I came home and put one of Troy’s signs up in the front yard one night, and the next morning, my wife thought I’d put the house up for sale,” he said. If Goodale, who now teaches full-time at Tusculum College and part-time at UT, looks comfortable behind the bar, it’s for good reason. He tended bar at Chez Liberty and its predecessor La Paz from 19832001. He got his master’s degree the year he ran against Duncan and went on to earn a PhD in political science. He was also voted Knoxville’s Bartender of the Year by Metro Pulse in 1995 after finishing third in 1993 and second in 1994. In 2001, he helped open Rooster’s in Rocky Hill and left there in 2002 when he was accepted into UT’s doctoral program. “That means I have a proven track record,” joked Goodale, who was particularly known for his lemondrop shooters. What makes him take on the daunting challenge of contesting what many local Republicans call “The Duncan Seat” – again? Here’s a clue: his disser-

Betty Bean tation topic was term limits. “I kept watching to see if anybody was going to run. It seems that in most election cycles we don’t have a Democrat running. I wanted to make sure people have a choice,” Goodale said, quoting the late City Council member Danny Mayfield: “I’m just naive enough to think I can make a difference.” He also believes that Duncan has squandered opportunities to become a leader. “It’s hard for me to fathom someone being in Congress for 24 years, and their party holds majority, and he’s not a committee chair.” Goodale listed disagreements with Duncan on women’s issues, employment, education and the environment. “If I go to Washington, it’ll be about jobs and making it tax friendly for domestic employers. “Education’s our most important investment. I’m running against Congress.” Not everyone at the fundraiser opted for anonymity – photographer Gary Heatherly said he likes and respects Duncan, but believes in Goodale and his platform. Jack Bailey, a self-identified staunch Republican and recent college graduate, said he supports Goodale for “pure policy reasons. It just seems like the right thing to do.”

Duncan to speak U.S. Rep. John J. Duncan, Jr. will speak to the Concord/Farragut GOP Club at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 1, at the Frulatti Café, 129 West End Avenue. Dinner is at 6:30. Info: 8036647.

This district lies almost wholly within the city of Knoxville, stretching from Alice Bell and Belle Morris in North Knox to Sequoyah Hills and Bearden and across the Tennessee River south to the Mt. Olive area off Alcoa Highway. It will be close, with about 12,000 voting in the district. As you read this, probably 35 percent of that total has been cast in early voting. The League of Women Voters and neighborhood groups have failed the community by not scheduling face-toface debates with the candidates. Most of the personal campaigning has been doorto-door with active work by both major candidates. Outside interest groups have been involved. Hardly a day goes by without a mailer. Lately, it has been the Tennessee Republican Party

with attack pieces on Gloria Johnson. These pieces are ineffective and come across as juvenile. It’s doubtful if they help and the mailers could actually hurt Loe. Mailers of different shapes and sizes with silly photos of Johnson make unsubstantiated claims that she is beholden to liberal special interest groups but fail to identify a single group by name. There is no proof to validate the charges. Whoever is writing/approving these attack pieces at GOP headquarters in Nashville is failing the credibility test. These mailers suggest Johnson backs amnesty for illegal immigrants and same-sex marriage. Actually, that is a non-issue as the Tennessee Constitution since 2006 has prohibited same-sex marriage. Loe has avoided the issue. There are more significant and immediate issues such as jobs, education, transfer of Lakeshore Park to the city from the state, greenway funding, roads, Henley Street bridge completion, party registration for voters, taxes and mental health concerns to name a few. Voters hope to receive positive mailers actually for Johnson or Loe as opposed to negative attack pieces.

Hopefully, some will outline real issues. The email for Gloria Johnson is votegloriajohnson@gmail.com, and for Gary Loe it is garyloe@ comcast.net. Mayor Madeline Rogero is expected to use her political organization to assist Johnson. Loe hopes to benefit from a strong Romney showing in the district, and last Friday Gov. Haslam headlined a breakfast for him at Rankin’s. Loe comes across as a nice person who looks much younger than his 55 years (he is a runner). His public positions on many issues are largely unknown (such as his refusal to comment on the closing of Belle Morris as a voting place) but the same could be said for Johnson. Both favor more jobs, but all the candidates say that this year. A Romney victory in District 13 could carry Loe into office. Massive early voting in Knox County seems overwhelmingly for Romney. Johnson would be well advised to advertise herself as a Bredesen, Schumpert and Wayne Ritchie type Democrat as opposed to being an Obama Democratic delegate in Charlotte. Knox Countians are used to voting for those three Democrats, along with Rogero. Johnson has raised more

money than Loe which is unusual for a Knox Democrat, but shows the depth of her effort. Current Rep. Harry Tindell has stayed neutral in the campaign. It is unusual that he has not endorsed his party’s nominee. ■ Deborah Stevens is an applicant for the Wheeler Rosenbalm circuit court judge position. She is managing partner of the prominent Lewis King law firm and an experienced trial attorney. No woman has been circuit court judge in Knox County. Other applicants are expected to surface.

Duncans feed the hungry Over the last 44 years, the Duncan Family Barbecue, held at the Civic Auditorium and Coliseum and always open to the public, has served as a mirror of our times.

Anne Hart

At its beginning, when U.S. Rep. John J. Duncan Sr. and his wife, Lois, were the hosts, the event was fairly staid. That’s just how things were back then. Folks attending dressed in their Sunday best. Most of the men wore coats and ties, the women wore stockings and high heels. Guests were the party faithful – city ward and county precinct chairs and committee members, every elected official from miles around, and just about everyone who worked at city hall and the county courthouse. Over the years, I attended many of those barbecues, but for one reason or another I hadn’t been back for a while until last week. And my how times have changed.

Discount. Discount. Discount.

The occasion has always been incredibly well organized, and this year was no exception. While people started gathering outside at 4:30 in long lines for the event that didn’t start until 5:30, once inside, the food lines moved quickly. The UT Pride of the Southland Band was fantastic, as always, as was the Crown College choir. But perhaps because of my absence for a few years, and maybe because I had gone early to sit outside on the plaza in the warm autumn sunshine and do some “people watching,” I noticed

a stark difference from other years: the crowd. Many, many of those attending were there for only one reason: they were hungry – not hungry like those of us who might skip lunch on a busy work day, but deep-down hungry, and likely homeless as well. They ate as much as they could hold, and tucked away still more in pockets and backpacks to be eaten later. No one chastised them for taking extra. It was part of the plan – the plan to feed the “have-nots” as well as the “haves.” So while there was plenty

of gaiety at last week’s dinner, hosted by U. S. Rep. John J. “Jimmy” Duncan Jr. and his family, it also provided a sobering mirror of our times. The world has changed dramatically since the early 1970s when the first Rep. Duncan was in office and hosted that original barbecue. We’re in tough economic times and a lot of people are suffering. The Duncan family has our gratitude for feeding so many desperately hungry people. That’s real constituent service.

Sports reporter Fallon Smith tells the story of her encounter with a ghost in the cellar of the studio. An exterior shot of the WATE TV-6 studios, built in the late 1800s.

We heard that the Major used to like to make breakfast for his family, so‌. “Now, if I want supplies from up here, I will come during the day, and most everyone else will as well.â€? She’s had other moments that have raised the hair on the back of her neck, and wasn’t surprised when a team of ghost hunters spent a night at Greystone recently and reported that there are five ghostly spirits in the building.

Greystone haunted? By Betty Bean Lori Tucker led the way into the employee break rooms on the third floor of Greystone, the stately Victorian mansion that houses WATE-TV. It was designed and built in 1885 by Civil War veteran/U.S. Attorney/coal baron/landholder Major Eldad Cicero Camp, who for a time used the upper floor as Camp’s Home for Friendless Women. “This is where most of us who work at night don’t come,� Tucker said. “It gives us the heebie-jeebies.� Tucker, who co-anchors the 6 and 11 o’clock news, describes herself as a skeptic, but says there’s just something creepy about that floor – and maybe some other locations in the elegant marble building, too. “We used to be able to come in and get supplies and things up here, but I just started not coming in here at night because

It’s basketball time in Tennessee TALES OF TENNESSEE | Marvin West

C

uonzo and I and several players and possibly you anticipate solid improvement in Tennessee basketball this winter. Those who do national polls and predictions are not convinced. The Volunteers exceeded expectations last season. They caught on to Cuonzo Martin’s way of life in time to win 19. They went 7-1 in February by being mentally tough enough to prevail at Gainesville, Columbia and Baton Rouge. They did not finish well. They were one and done in the Southeastern Conference tournament.

They were excluded from the 68-team NCA A field. They lost at home to Middle Tennessee State in the NIT. There is plenty of room for improvement. This team, at this time, has several advantages over that team. Last fall, Martin was still picking up the pieces from the Bruce Pearl puzzle, trying to find where they fit. He was introducing a bluecollar game that included the occasional f loor burn but not a lot of frills and no disco strobes. He did not have Jarnell Stokes. Stokes, 6-8, 270 and an

excellent student, was at Southwind High in Memphis, ineligible because of a transfer. He was parked, deciding what to do next. He had limited choices. Sit tight and wait until this year. Switch to a prep school. Or graduate early and sign with a university that had an available scholarship. There weren’t many. Tennessee had one and a coach who made sense. Cuonzo explained that the SEC is a men’s league. He offered the almost 18-year-old sound guidance and the chance to grow up in a hurry. Stokes did it. I keep re-

Wait for it CROSS CURRENTS | Lynn Hutton I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, And in his word I hope; My soul waits for the Lord More than those who watch for the morning, More than those who watch for the morning. (Psalm 130: 5-6 NRSV) When all else is long and gone forever, there is yearning. One of the few welcome lessons age teaches is that only desire trumps time. (Thirteen Moons, Charles Frazier)

membering what he did to Vanderbilt in the season finale – 11 points, 14 rebounds, five blocked shots. Oh my. Tennessee will have (when his legs are healthy) strongman Jeronne Maymon, 6-7 and 260, point guard Trae Golden, best streak shooter Skyler McBee and an impressive supporting cast of Jordan McRae, Josh Richardson, Kenny Hall, improving Yemi Makanjuola and Dwight Miller. New talent includes junior college recruit D’Montre Edwards, redshirt freshman Quinton Chievous and even younger Armani Moore. Then and now? Overall experience is a definite plus. Players appear stronger. Conditioning coach Nicodemus Christopher must be doing something right. The trip to Italy proved positive. There is no uncertainty about obligations. Play hard. Do defense.

Some things will be different. Last year’s Vols pushed Duke, almost beat Memphis and clobbered Charminade in the happy Hawaii invitational. This group goes to Puerto Rico. Last December those Vols lost at home to Austin Peay. It was the lowlight of a four-game sinking spell that included Oakland, Pitt and College of

Waiting. Waiting with joy for an encounter, a reunion, a return. Waiting with dread for a diagnosis, an outcome, a verdict. Waiting with anticipation for a glance, a word, a call. There are few things harder. We wait for holidays, for birthdays, for happenings, looking forward in time, imagining the day, the event, the encounter itself. Is waiting a waste? Is it squandered time? Why wait, when I could get busy doing something creative, or at least useful? There is certainly biblical evidence that God employs waiting as a tool to shape us, or events, to suit God’s purposes and timetable. Ask any one

of several people of the Bible who waited so long they gave up: Abraham, who at the age of 100 became the father of Isaac; Sarah, who waited so long she laughed in an angel’s face when he told her she would conceive; the priest Zechariah, who was struck dumb by the angel Gabriel because he refused to believe the angel’s good news of a child to be born to the old priest’s wife Elizabeth. So how were these people changed by their waiting? They were certainly frustrated, surely angry at times, despairing at other moments. They must have wondered what God was up to. But I wonder if they noticed the changes that were taking place within themselves?

Charleston. That won’t happen again. They don’t play three of the four. These Vols have a show date with Georgetown at the Verizon Center in Washington, D.C. The Memphis Tigers come to Knoxville in early January as featured attraction of a six-game home stand, preliminary to the SEC race. Cuonzo Martin, guarded instead of boastful, expects this to be an NCA A tournament team but will leave most of the big talk to others. He expects Golden to be much improved as f loor leader and has told Trae. He expects the inside game, Maymon and Stokes, to most often provide the winning edge. This part is guesswork: Vols will be a better ref lection of the coach, determined instead of f lamboyant, competitive without a lot of noise, likely to make you proud. Marvin West invites reader reaction. His address is westwest6@netzero. com

The coming to terms, the growing realization that God is God and they are not, the surprising notion that perhaps God has other, unexpected plans for them. Which begs the question: what are you waiting for? What are you yearning for? What is God using to shape and sculpt and mold you? And to what purpose? Who or what will God use to shape your life? To make you the person God intended you to be? Just know this: God is always at work in your life. God is building or paring down; God is creating or honing; God is perfecting. Just wait. Just wait to see what wonder God is creating in your life.

Fountain of fables

Storytelling event held at FC Library By Jake Mabe

The group that began as a creative writing club at Central High School has come a long way in five years. Central High English and creative writing teacher Erin Atchley says the group branched out two years ago and joined the Knoxville Writers Guild, creating the Guild’s first youth divisions. Last year, a creative writing class was created at Central. And, for the second year in a row, the group has sponsored the Fountain of Fables storytelling festival at the Fountain City Branch Library. Students from six area schools, including Central

High and Halls High, performed for an audience primarily of elementary schoolaged children last Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. “The oral stories have been created and memorized,” Atchley said. “The students can retell and adapt stories that are now in the public domain, but the emphasis is on (original work).” Atchley even got into the act last Thursday night, regaling the crowd with an entertaining story from childhood. She says the festival has been a success. “I’ve just been thrilled by the way it has gone. We’ve got some very talented individuals. Several kids are close to completing novels and they will have their first anthology Central High School English and creative writing teacher Erin Atchley entertains the crowd with a terrific tale during last week’s coming out in December.” Fountain of Fables storytelling event at the Fountain City Branch Library.

Temple named to

CHS Wall of Fame

HISTORY AND MYSTERIES | Dr. Jim Tumblin

B

ob Temple has been named to the Central High School Wall of Fame. Temple is the son of the winner of Parade Magazine’s 1956 “Get-Out-The-Vote” contest, husband of a member of one of Fountain City’s most prominent families, father of a music teacher of low-income children and inspirational volunteer vocalist at numerous retirement communities, father of the Tennessee state gymnastics champion, father of a prominent bank vice president, brother-in-law of an iconic Central High School football coach and principal, and himself the 1998 Seniors Tennis Champion of the state of Tennessee, benefactor of the North Side YMCA and innovative developer of two major North Knox County

subdivisions—and that is only a hint at the legacy of Robert H. “Bob” Temple. Temple was born in Nashville on Aug. 3, 1928, the third of six children of Will S. and Marjory Watson Temple. During the presidential campaign of 1956 (Eisenhower vs. Stevenson), Parade Magazine held a nationwide contest for the best “Get Out the Vote” slogan, which attracted 500,000 submissions. Marjory Temple’s slogan (“Vote— you lucky American!”) won the all-expenses-paid week in Washington for Eisenhower’s inauguration. Bob started the first grade in Nashville but, when he was in the fourth grade, moved with his family to Fountain City and attended Fountain City Elementary. During his years at Central High School

Bob Temple at the North Side YMCA Photo by Ruth White he played center on both the basketball and football teams. He was captain of the basketball team and chosen for the All-City team his final year. His team won the 8th District title, was runner-up in the regional and then went to the state tournament. To prove his versatility, he sang in the school chorus for three years. Thinking a fifth year in high school would improve his chances for a basketball scholarship at UT, Bob stayed another year and chose to repeat senior English with

commanding officer of the 178th National Guard Unit. Bob enlisted and from 195254 served on active duty at Ft. Jackson, S.C., and Ft. McPherson, Ga., during the Korean War. When he returned home, Temple took a few graduate classes at UT but soon went into home-building, first working with master carpenter Charlie Davis and his nephew David Price as his construction team. In 1954, Davis built the Temples’ first home on Highland Drive.

his favorite teacher, Edith Lovelace Wiles. He graduated in 1948. Fortuitously, he received the UT scholarship. He came into his own scholastically at UT and completed four years of college in three calendar years, majoring in business administration. That is even more impressive considering that during that time he also worked in automobile wholesaling. Col. N.B. “Red” Eubank, one of his Central High football coaches, was also

Temple developed the 110unit Woodvale subdivision on Brown Gap Road and the 200-unit Temple Acres subdivision off Maynardville Pike in Halls. He was one of the first developers to maintain quality grading guidelines and to install curbs and gutters on all his properties. He also built the Whittle Springs and Highland Arms apartments. Bob and Helen Boring Temple were married in Fountain City Methodist Church on Dec. 23, 1949. They are parents of three children. Linda Temple Wise is a volunteer music teacher, active as a volunteer vocalist for retirement communities and mother of two children. Ginger Temple Baxter, state gymnastics champion and college All-American, had her own gymnastics training program for several years. She and her husband, Bill Baxter, have four children. Robert “Rob” Temple Jr. is vice president of People’s Bank of Clinton and has two children. The Temples have eight grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. Bob has had a lifelong interest in athletics and fitness. He served as a baseball and basketball coach in the Fountain City Recreation program. He has water skied for more than 60 years and did so on his 84th birthday. In spite of several knee surgeries, he still plays tennis three times weekly. He was the Tennessee State Seniors Champion in 1998 and continues to compete. In September 2002, when its 8,600-foot addition was completed, the Bob Temple North Side Family YMCA was dedicated in honor of the man who gave the land on which the original offices and swimming pool were built. Temple later funded the handball courts, the indoor tennis courts and the childcare center. He provided initial funding for the gymnasium with a full-size basketball court, a weight room and activity room. He has also promoted and supported the Y’s “Strong Kids” scholarship program which awards free or reduced-cost memberships and services valued at more than $50,000 annually. He has served his church, Fountain City United Methodist, in many ways and received a plaque in 1973 when he built their church parsonage on Brabson Drive. He has served as a leader in the Methodist Youth Fellowship, taught Sunday school and still leads singing for the Christian Fellowship Sunday school class and sang baritone in the choir. A charter member of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, he was named Fountain City Man of the Year in 1985. Service on the board of directors for Habitat for Humanity resulted after Temple worked with a team from Fountain City Presbyterian Church on his first Habitat house. He has financed seven homes and has also participated in overseas missions in Haiti, Dominique and other South American countries. The Temples have recently donated sufficient funds to provide cleft palate surgery for 100 children in South America through Smile Train. Bob has traveled internationally on several occasions, including a trip to Mexico City for the 1968 Olympics. Temple, along with Mary Sue Miller and Barry N. Litton, will be honored at the 11th annual Wall of Fame breakfast at 9 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 17. Proceeds from the breakfast will be being used to provide supplemental technology for the school, to help upgrade Central’s library, to support mailings for school organizations, to establish a contest for Web design by technology students and possibly for upgrades to the Heritage Room. Tickets are $20 and may be purchased at the school office, by calling Larry Smith at 922-5433 or by emailing Courtney Shea at courtshea@aol.com.

Shopper-News Presents Miracle Makers

Espiritu credits others for national award E

By Betty Bean

arlier this month, Pond Gap Elementary School principal Susan Espiritu went to a meeting of the National Association of Elementary School Principals in Washington, D.C., to pick up an award. Espiritu is principal of Pond Gap Elementary School. The heavy brass school bell she was given to commemorate the occasion sits on her desk, but getting Tennessee’s National Distinguished Principal of 2012 to talk about herself is no easy task. Susan Espiritu prefers to credit her staff, her students and her community for Pond Gap’s many successes. But forced to get personal, here’s what we learned about Susan Dillard Espiritu: Her parents were Bill and Gladys Dillard. Her brother, Tom, is one of Knoxville’s most respected attorneys. She attended Shannondale Elementary School and Central High School, except for that one year when they moved to Hawaii. “They (her parents) went there on vacation and decided to move there,� she said. “That’s where I met my husband, Charlie. We really hit it off and when we (the Dillard family) moved back here, he followed

me, and we got married. I finished high school and college after we were married.� Marriage at the age of 16, she hastens to say, is not a path she would recommend for young people today. “He didn’t realize how young I was, and once he did, it was too late,� she said. “He was going to go back to Hawaii because he couldn’t stay forever, so my parents agreed

to sign for us. It’s a long shot for that ever to have worked, but it really did, because it was meant to be. That was 38 years ago. I finished UT in three years, and we didn’t have our first child until I had graduated from college.� The Espiritus’ older daughter, Maria Haun, is 34. She and her husband, Robbie, have three daughters. The middle daughter, Kalea Derry, is married to Nick Derry. She’s 31 and has three sons. Son Billy – named after Susan’s dad – and his wife, Kristina, have a daughter. Kalea’s name is Hawaiian, and Charles Espiritu is of Philippine, Chinese and Hawaiian ancestry. He was a human resources manager for Harrison Inc, a division of APAC, and when he retired five years ago, the Espiritus moved to a lakeside house in Campbell County. This means a fairly long commute to Pond Gap, but Espiritu says it’s worth it. “I love this school. I’ve been in education since I graduated from UT in ‘79, except for taking off some time to help my dad, and I absolutely love my profession. “I love this school, with its diversity and challenges, and I love this community. I love the staff. “This award is a reflection of everything they have done. They are always looking for ways to remove the barriers our kids face. I’m just a reflection of my staff.�

“I am most proud of the staff that I have at Pond Gap. I attribute this individual recognition as being a direct collective reflection of their willingness to try anything and everything to help students to succeed by removing the barriers to learning. “To that end, they have overwhelmingly voted for and embraced pilot programs that improve teaching practice in the school (the TAP program), provide more equality for students by requiring uniforms for students, and assisting for the additional needs for our students with the after-school Community School program. “Without exception, my staff is collaborative, professional, dedicated and supportive of not only each other, but of every student that walks in our door. “They truly believe they are on a mission to make a difference. So, I am blessed to be able to do what I do every day and have it labeled as ‘my work’ because it truly blesses me daily.� – Susan Espiritu

Exemplars of school leadership Susan D. Espiritu was among 60 outstanding elementary and middle school principals from across the nation who were named 2012 National Distinguished Principals by the National Association of Elementary School Principals. The NDPs were honored Oct. 19 at an awards banquet, funded by retirement plan provider VALIC, at which U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan delivered the opening address. The two-day program, held at the Capital Hilton Hotel in Washington, D.C., recognized public and private school principals who make superior contributions to their schools and communities. The distinguished principals are selected by NAESP state affiliates, including the District of Columbia, and by committees representing private and overseas schools. NAESP Executive Director Gail Connelly commended the 60 principals for being exemplars of successful school leadership and calling them “front-line champions for children who vastly impact individual lives and strengthen schools.�

Rural/Metro has tips to help families stay safe on Halloween: ■An adult should always accompany trick-or-treaters. ■Ensure that your child’s costume is flame resistant. ■Costumes should be brightly colored to be seen. Reflective tape can help. ■Use a flashlight. ■Remove any mask or item that limits eyesight before crossing the road. ■Stay in a group. ■Stay in well-lit areas and only approach homes with the porch light on. ■Always use the sidewalk and never cut across yards or use alleys. ■Check treats thoroughly before allowing children to eat them. ■Never let your child enter a stranger’s home for a treat. ■Never let children eat treats until they have been thoroughly checked at home. ■To help trick-or-treaters, keep your front porch and pathway clear of hazards such as flower pots and hoses.

Halloween safety tips

Recent online surveys rank Halloween second only to Christmas as the favorite family holiday, and with an estimated 41 million children trick-or-treating in 2012, Rural/Metro urges parents to keep safety in mind to ensure a safe, enjoyable experience this Halloween season. “At Rural/Metro, we recognize that the endangerment of a child is more frightening to parents than any ghost or ghoul could ever be,” said Rob Webb, Rural/Metro division general manager. “By following our Halloween safety tips, parents will have

the tools to help protect their child during this holiday.” According to the Centers for Disease Control, children ages 5 to 14 are four times more likely to be killed by being struck by a vehicle on Halloween than on any other day of the year. Vandalism and property crimes also increase during the holiday season. For those who will be trickor-treating in area neighborhoods this year, Rural/Metro encourages parents to keep their youngsters safe with the following safety tips:

■ An adult should always accompany trick-or-treaters. ■ Ensure your child’s costume is flame resistant. ■ Costumes should be brightly colored to be easily seen. If not, add reflective tape. ■ Use a flashlight. You child will be able to see and be seen by others. ■ Remove any mask or item that will limit eyesight before crossing a street or driveway. ■ Stay in a group. ■ Stay in well-lit areas and only approach homes with a porch light on. ■ Use the sidewalk and only cross the street as a group in established crosswalks.

■ Don’t assume the right of way. Motorists may have trouble seeing trick-or-treaters. ■ Never cut across yards or use alleys. ■ Never let your child enter a stranger’s home or car for a treat. ■ No treats are to be eaten until they are thoroughly checked by an adult at home. It is always better to consume packaged treats. ■ Notify police immediately of any suspicious or unlawful activity. ■ Make sure your front porch and pathway are clear of hazards such as flower pots and hoses for trick-or-treaters.

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

Fort Sanders Sleep Center helps man sleep easier Ralph E. Green of Knoxville, 68, knew there was something wrong with his health about 10 years ago. He felt tired every morning, even after a full night’s sleep. “I just felt like a Mack truck hit me every morning,” he remembers. “I got to thinking, ‘What is going on?’ ” After at least five years of feeling that way, a friend suggested to Green that he might have obstructive sleep apnea. Sleep apnea is a condition in which the soft palate and tongue relax during sleep, narrowing the throat and airway. This usually causes loud snoring and can cut off the airway entirely so that the patient can’t breathe. This arouses the person awake during the night, even if he or she can’t remember doing so in the morning.

Patients with sleep apnea typically snore loudly and awake feeling tired. The lack of oxygen can also strain the heart and raise blood pressure. “Oh yes, I snored,” says Green. “But I just didn’t have any insight into sleep apnea. Frankly, I thought being tired was part of the game of life. Then I learned a whole lot about it and did a test on my own.” Green heard about the CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) machine from a friend. This machine – about the size of a shoebox – pumps air through a tube and into a mask fitted over the patient’s nose or mouth. The patient wears the mask during sleep, which keeps the airway open. Green sought help from Dr.

Catch more Zzzzzzzz Insomnia is a common condition in which a person has trouble falling asleep or staying asleep. According to the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, it affects 1 in 3 adults occasionally, and 1 in 10 adults frequently. Odd work hours, long distance travel, stress, depression, certain medical conditions or medications, and a lack of exercise can all increase your risk for insomnia. Here are some tips to help you fall and stay asleep: ■ Avoid caffeine, tobacco and other stimulants at least eight hours before bedtime. Avoid alcohol as well. While it may make you sleepy, it tends to trigger light sleep. ■ Avoid medications that can disrupt sleep (some cold and allergy medications, for example). ■ Maintain good bedtime habits. Read a book, listen to soothing music or wind down by taking a warm bath. ■ Exercise early in the day, at least five or six hours before going to bed. ■ Don’t eat or drink before bed. ■ Don’t watch TV or work on a computer right before bedtime. ■ Make sure your bed is comfortable and the room is dark and quiet. ■ Have pets and children sleep elsewhere. If sleep difficulties continue, talk to your doctor about having a sleep study. An accurate diagnosis of your sleep problems can lead to proper treatment and a good night’s sleep.

Thomas G. Higgins, a sleep disorder specialist at the Sleep Disorder Center at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center. Green spent one night at the center while a technician monitored his heart rate, breathing and sleep patterns. Dr. Higgins diagnosed Green with sleep apnea and worked with Green to find a CPAP mask that was as comfortable as possible. “There are at least 50 different masks,” says Green. “Mine goes over your head, and just covers the top of my head and my nose. It just barely puts air in so I can breathe and have a good n i g h t ’ s Ralph Green of Knoxville stopped sleep.” snoring and sleeps better since getting treatment at the Fort Sanders The CPAP Sleep Disorders Center. machine has a compli-

ance data card. “Dr. Higgins prints out the report and can see how I’m sleeping,” he explains. Now that Green has used the machine for about seven years, he says he has seen many benefits from it. “I’m in better health because of the CPAP, in my opinion,” he says. “I’m very active. I rode my bike to Townsend on Saturday, 28 miles. I’m grateful that I’m able to do it now. I don’t think I could have done that without the CPAP. It’s just been a real gift to me to be able to have this.” Sleep better with the Fort Sanders Sleep Disorders Center. Call 865-541-1375 or go to www.fsregional.com/ fssleepcenter.

Sleep treatment technology stops snoring There’s never been a better time to get a good night’s rest, according to Scott Vogt, director of the Fort Sanders Sleep Disorders Center. “With the latest in sleep disorder treatments, your sleep problems – especially loud snoring – can be cured,” says Vogt. “Snoring is not normal,” he explains. “Snoring happens because there’s something obstructing your airway at night.” Loud snoring is often caused by a common condition called obstructive sleep apnea. This is when a person’s airway relaxes during sleep and narrows. As the person tries to breathe, the air must squeeze through the narrow opening, causing the snoring rattle. If the airway closes completely, the patient will stop breathing for a second and gasp for air. This can happen hundreds of times each night, preventing the person from getting into a deep state of sleep. During the day, the sleep apnea sufferer often has headaches, mental distraction and fatigue. He or she is also at a higher risk for hypertension, heart attack, stroke and even diabetes, Vogt says. “In the deeper stages of sleep, the brain releases chemicals to heal the body,” explains Vogt. “So when you’re constantly having sleep apnea events, the body doesn’t heal itself.” Fortunately, the treatment for sleep apnea is a simple one, and recent advances have made it easier than ever. The main treatment for sleep apnea is to sleep with a Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machine, a bedside pump that delivers forced air through a mask and down the nose and mouth to keep the airway open and eliminate snoring. “The CPAP has been around a long time, but the machines have gotten a lot better in recent years,” says Vogt.

Smaller, lighter CPAPS are designed for better patient comfort.

“They’re smaller, and they look like bedside clock radios. We have patients who hike the Appalachian Trail with their CPAPs. They just take a little battery pack with them.” CPAP masks have also improved over time. “Using new materials has made the masks much smaller and lighter,” says Vogt. “They come in all kinds of colors and styles, too.” Masks are even available with pink or camouflage colored headbands. Lighter tubing helps reduce the pull of the tube on the sleeper’s face. “It’s easier than ever to find one that’s comfortable for you, and that makes you want to use it more. If a patient won’t use the CPAP, it’s not doing them any good,” states Vogt. “It’s like having a bottle of medication and not taking the pills.” Some people may try several masks before they find the one that works for them, Vogt says. “It might take a few days to get the right one. We’ll get folks who say, ‘There’s no way I can wear this.’ But then once they feel the benefits, it’s almost instantaneous,” he says.

And eliminating your snoring will usually benefit other family members as well, Vogt admits. “Our best referrals are spouses,” Vogt says with a laugh. “Most of the time, the CPAP helps two people at once because the snorer is keeping their spouse awake.” The Fort Sanders Regional Sleep Disorders Center is fully accredited by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. Its tests and treatments are covered by most insurance plans. To get a better night’s sleep, call 865-541-1375 or go to www.fsregional.com/fssleepcenter.

Going ‘batty’ is a good thing office several months ago to check on a bat that had perched on the side of the building.

Bats rarely carry disease and are very good at controlling the insect population, especially mosquitoes. According to bestnest.

Probably the most common misconception about bats is that they need blood – any blood, including human blood – to survive. In fact, the only bat that survives by ingesting blood

is the vampire bat that lives in South America, and it only preys on small rabbits and farm animals. So this Halloween, if you see a bat flying around your head at night, be sure to smile and wave instead of scream and run in the opposite direction.

Mama’s advice could prevent breast cancer By Wendy Smith When it comes to lifestyle changes that could reduce a woman’s chance of developing breast cancer, it turns out that “mama knows best.” Tennova Healthcare breast surgeon Caren Gallaher spoke at last week’s Red Hot Mamas luncheon aimed at breast cancer awareness. While most women know the “big things” that can stop cancer in its tracks, like annual mammograms, physicals and surgery, the “little things” can also make a big difference. Studies have shown that the advice typically given

by mothers can make a diagnosis of breast cancer less likely. Such tips include: eat right, get plenty of rest, exercise regularly, go outside and play, don’t sweat the small stuff and don’t get dirty. Other good suggestions are no smoking, no drinking, no caffeine and “watch that girlish figure.” Studies that examine the role that lifestyle plays in women’s breast health are typically few, but there is enough data to recommend certain behaviors, Gallaher said. When it comes to eating, emulating populations that

have a low cancer risk – like Asian and Indian women – is supported by research. Foods that have been proven to reduce breast cancer risk include soy, green tea, cruciferous vegetables, fish and fowl instead of red meat, and turmeric. Recent studies have found that soy found in foods like soy milk, edamame and tofu can help prevent cancer. To receive health benefits from green tea, it must be consumed within two hours of being brewed, Gallaher said. Cruciferous vegetables include broccoli, cauliflow-

For those who don’t care to eat fatty fish three times a week, krill capsules are a good choice. Turmeric, which is a component of curry, is also available in a capsule, she said.

foods include blueberries, walnuts, flaxseed and pomegranate. “Pomegranate is the superfood of the 21st century,” Gallaher said, but she acknowledged the difficulty of eating the tiny fruit-covered seeds. She recommends drinking a cup of pomegranate juice each day. She emphasized that she agrees with the American Cancer Society’s recommendation that women receive annual mammograms beginning at age 40, which can reduce the risk of cancer mortality by 30 to 50 percent. She is also a strong proponent of breast self-exams. WBIR anchor and Buddy Check 10 founder Robin Wilhoit was master of ceremonies at the luncheon. The Buddy Check program

encourages women to choose a buddy and remind them to perform a breast self-exam each month. “I am convinced that one simple thing saves lives,” said Wilhoit, who has received letters from women who first found a cancer during a breast self-exam. Tennova Healthcare Marketing Manager Linda Cox-Collier says the Red Hot Mamas lunch program, which began about seven years ago, has been a wonderful opportunity for women to get together and network. Next year, the program will have a new name, but will continue to offer a free luncheon every other month, along with a speaker from the medical community.
