Halls celebrates success

She is Jennifer Gibson, the mother of the late Abby Gibson. The top coupon book seller award is named in Abby’s memory. Cassie sold 330 books in the annual fundraiser. We are quite proud of her and regret this error.

“A study of excellence.” That’s what Halls High School principal Mark Duff called Halls faculty and staff Nov. 15 when he announced that the school is one of three in Knox County to receive the prestigious APEX School Excellence Award for 2011-2012. The award recognizes student success and excellence in instruction and carries a cash award to be used for school improvements or professional development. Halls received a

$5,000 grant with the award. Duff then read a letter from the Tennessee Board of Education, informing the staff that Halls was on the cusp of being named a Reward School for the 2011-2012 school year. The letter said Halls was “within the threshold” of becoming a Reward School but was excluded because of achievement gaps, or differences in academic achievement between student demographics.

“We wanted to let you know how close you are,” Duff read. “Those achievement gaps bit us in the hind end,” Duff continued in his own words. “Let’s close them. We will fight, folks. We will continue to put our best foot forward. This is one fine high school.”

HPUD petition clears 3,000 Residents pack board meeting By Shannon Carey A petition of Hallsdale Powell Utility District ratepayers last week cleared the 3,000 signatures necessary to trigger a rate review pending certification of the signatures as primary HPUD account holders. As of this writing, the online petition at change. org had 2,797 signatures. According to petition organizer Russ Rymer of Halls,

the pen-and-paper petition has 425. Signatures of at least 10 percent of HPUD’s 29,077 customers are needed to request a rate review from the state’s Utility Management Review Board. “I personally plan to gather well over the 3,000 goal to ensure we can make a point to elected officials that it just isn’t 10 percent that’s unhappy with HPUD,” Rymer wrote in an email late last week. That unhappiness was felt during HPUD’s Board of Commissioners meeting

In a trial by fire for newly-appointed commissioner Todd Cook, ratepayers packed the board room to speak their minds about rising rates. Keith Cannady, who

‘Caring Hands’ quilters memorialize co-worker By Carolyn Andrews The “Anita Quilt,” a silent auction item for the 2012 United Way campaign, is much more than a beautiful bedspread. Made and donated by “Caring Hands,” a group of six quilters who work at the Y-12 National Security Complex in Oak Ridge, its story runs deep and wide. A common thread is former B&W Y-12 human resources employee Anita Stensaker, who died in December 2010 at age 74. Anita loved to shop and found it difficult to pass up a bargain, especially on things she thought were pretty. Shelves and nooks and crannies in her home were filled with items she had purchased not for anyone or any occasion in particular. She enjoyed being able to provide on short notice something for whatever need arose.

In 2009 she was shopping at the company’s annual United Way silent auction and admired a quilt made and donated by the Y-12 “Caring Hands” quilters. Member Dottie Kelly said, “Anita called me to offer her fabric stash to our group. I asked her why she would want to get rid of fabric she might want to use after she retired. Anita laughed and said she had no plans to do anything with it.” Anita’s close friend and coworker Vicki Wilson recalls that Anita also had no plans to retire. “She was tireless, an Energizer bunny. She ran circles around all of us in human resources. She went dancing the weekend she died. There’ll never be another one like her.” The woman who went beyond the extra mile for the employees

Principal for a day I spent half a day at Adrian Burnett Elementary last Thursday as the school’s Principal for a Day, an annual system-wide program sponsored by Knox County Schools Partners in Education. I won’t say I learned as much as the kids did that day (fractions and division still frighten), but I got quite an education. Fifth-grade students produce a morning announcement “newscast” at 7:50 a.m. They run the camera, serve as broadcasters and recruit younger students to lead the pledge. Aired in each classroom, the newscast is facilitated by staff members Amy Churchwell, Kenny Lewis and Susan Rohrer. From there, principal Kathy Duggan and I visited as many classrooms as we could. A 1st-grade teacher was presenting a unit on the first Thanksgiving. Utilizing integrated instruction, she touched on reading, vocabulary, listening skills and history/social studies in a span of about five minutes. Every teacher in one grade level was teaching language arts. That is by design. Duggan says not only do teachers have to keep up with a specific pace dictated by the curriculum, by teaching the same subject at the same time teachers later collaborate during Professional Learning Communities. The common business practice is relatively new to public education as a formal, dedicated block of time. Teachers bounce ideas off each other. One might share a teaching technique others could adopt that is working quite well, for example. Duggan works a 12-hour day on average. She has nightly homework, as do the teachers. In the old days, teachers were evaluated roughly about 1.5 times every five years. Now, professionally-licensed teachers are evaluated twice a year. One requires a planning confer-

Caring hands From page A-1 to Anita’s generosity would be another quilt to benefit United Way agencies. We called it the ‘Anita Quilt’ from that day forward.” The quilters enlisted the aid of a professional to help decide on a pattern and to select the fabrics from Anita’s collection. The “stacked brick” pattern they used for the “Anita Quilt” was a cross between the “flying geese” and “herringbone” patterns. There are 1,182 pieces in the quilt, and the quilters spent more than 200 hours sewing them together. Once they had pieced the quilt top, they hired another professional to machine quilt the masterpiece. Bidding on the “Anita Quilt” was active during the company’s silent auction.The quilt and other items netted approximately $10,250 for United Way. Thus began a brand-new chapter in the already colorful “Anita Quilt” story. The winning bidder sent Kelly photos of the quilt in place on a bed in its new home and reported that his wife is ecstatic. Treasured by its owner, the quilt and its story could be around for generations. And, in a way, Anita’s generosity will be coming full circle. Because the “Caring Hands” quilters want Anita’s family to have a memento of her gift, they are embarking on another project. They will use some of the remaining fabric from her collection to create keepsake pillows for each of her children, who no doubt know – better than anyone else – what a generous person Anita was.

Jake Mabe MY TWO CENTS ence either with a principal or a lead teacher. The other is unannounced. Both also require post-conferences. Apprentice teachers are evaluated four times per year. “I don’t like the stress (the new evaluation model) has caused, but we’re learning to roll with the punches better,” Duggan says. “Our teachers are starting to see the professional growth. I wouldn’t want to go back to the old model.” Duggan’s goal is to visit every classroom every day. She provides six to eight teachers on average with informal feedback daily. “That is part of their evaluation to make sure that (teachers) do on a daily basis what they’re doing during their evaluation.” Adrian Burnett has its challenges. Built in the mid1970s and intended as a 10year temporary school for 500

students needing extra instruction was being taught in the hall. Technology funding is always a challenge. Teachers make do – and then some. Duggan said Adrian Burnett narrowly missed being designated a state Reward School for academic growth and/or achievement because student progress in one subgroup, while improved, narrowly missed a federallyrequired benchmark. “This is one of the strongest staffs I’ve ever seen. They do a great job of meeting the needs of each student.” Duggan says the school needs volunteers to help with tutoring, mentoring, or working in the clinic or library. Potential volunteers should call Adrian Burnett Elementary students Victoria Arwood and Jaden Stewart chat with principal for the school at 689-1474. a day Jake Mabe at the school last Thursday. Photo by Ruth White students, the school now has a student population of 640. It has been as high as 670. The school has 11 portable classrooms and several “open” classrooms shared by two or three teachers. It does not have an auditorium and the “gym” is basically a playroom. A 4th-grade musical program planned for last Thursday night was held in the cafeteria. Duggan says sometimes a music teacher, for example, might have to hold two performances of an event because of the lack of space. One small group of

New board chair Kevin Julian said the move might help open dialogue. “We owe it to our ratepay-

From page A-1 ers to give them an opportunity and a forum to get them involved. This would be a show of good faith,” Cook said. Julian seconded Cook’s motion, which carried with Julian and Cook voting yes. Cook then made a motion to accept former HPUD president Marvin Hammond’s voluntary termination of his consulting contract, relinquishing further compensation and company vehicle,

with the caveat that he be allowed to remain on the HPUD group health insurance plan at his own expense. Crye seconded the motion, and the board voted unanimously to approve. Crye thanked Hammond for his service, adding, “The current board is going to be very diligent for any future consulting contracts. It will have to be an emergency, short-term situation.”

government Rogero withdraws fence project Mayor Madeline Rogero has withdrawn the resolution to erect a chainlink fence for $290,000 around part of the Safety Building in East Knoxville. The official reason is that it needs further review and discussion. The resolution was facing defeat due to the strong opposition of council member and former mayor Daniel Brown in whose district it is located and who had not been consulted on it prior to its introduction. Many leaders in Knoxville’s African-American community, including civic leader Margaret Gaiter and longtime pastor Harold Middlebrook, had voiced strong opposition when they learned of it. Opponents felt such an ugly structure sends the wrong message for one of the major gateways into East Knoxville near the Alex Haley Statue, Mabry-Hazen House and Beck Cultural Center, not to mention Morningside Park. This withdrawal allows further reflection on alternative ways to curb reported vandalism at the Safety Building parking lot, such as more lighting, and saves city taxpayers $290,000 for other more pressing projects which the mayor and council may favor. It also allows time to explain why any fence is needed at all. Other buildings nearby do not have fences around them such as the Coliseum, SunTrust Bank and the Marriott. Do not expect this chain-link fence proposal to return anytime soon, even in a more decorative form. It has become toxic from a political standpoint. Mayor Rogero is not likely to spend political capital disappointing the African-American community to erect an ugly fence which would be a daily reminder to East Knoxville that their wishes were ignored. ■ Meanwhile a storm is brewing in South Knoxville over the Tennessee Department of Transportation’s plan to extend the South Knoxville Boulevard to John Sevier and Chapman highways by cutting across ridge tops and the new urban wilderness. A public hearing is set for Thursday, Dec. 6, at South-Doyle. It should be crowded.

Victor Ashe

■ Vice Mayor Nick Pavlis, who represents South Knoxville, has come out in favor of the urban wilderness, which has been created in the last 5 years and would be severely harmed by this project. The cost of the road extension would be excessive in terms Nick Pavlis of benefits achieved. Two city parks, Marie Myers and William Hastie, would be negatively impacted. Pavlis has effectively articulated sound reasons for keeping these benefits along with the stellar work of Carol Evans and Brian Hann of Legacy Parks. Hopefully, Gov. Haslam will direct TDOT to halt plans and spend the money more effectively upgrading Chapman Highway as Henley Bridge re-opens. Pavlis deserves credit for taking such a progressive stand. ■ The death of Farragut’s first mayor, Robert H. Leonard, last week was a lost to the entire community. A longtime member of Bob Leonard the Optimist Club, he was always optimistic and battled hard for Farragut’s right to exist. He and I settled the lawsuit by Knoxville which I inherited when elected mayor in 1987 and removed the legal cloud over Farragut’s existence. He was a real gentleman and family man. ■ County Mayor Tim Burchett skipped over former sheriff Tim Hutchison for a seat on the Hallsdale Powell Utility District board of commissioners to pick Todd Cook who works for Sheriff Jimmy “JJ” Jones. Cook is not likely to serve 30 years on this board as his predecessor did. ■ Sen. Howard Baker celebrated his 87th birthday on Thursday, Nov. 14, in Huntsville, Tenn.

Better bus service ahead By Betty Bean Nine months ago, Virginia College president Jim Branham was preparing for his school’s grand opening in its new Fountain City location. One of the things on his checklist was a new bus stop in front of the building, preferably a covered shelter where students could wait comfortably for the Route 22 bus. “When I first got here, I thought, ‘Why can’t we get a shelter and put a sign up that says ‘Bus Stop?’ Then I found out we didn’t even own the land,” he said. So what seemed like a pretty simple proposition has turned out to be a pretty complex problem, Branham has learned in the months that have passed. Easement problems, utility poles that need moving, pads that need pouring, costs being driven up have slowed down the process. But now, after interest from Fountain City Town Hall and Mayor Madeline Rogero, he’s hopeful again.

“The city is working on developing a preliminary estimate for shelter placement,” he said. “The mayor came here about a month ago, and the wheels started really moving. There’s been a lot of coordination at the city level, and they’re working through the issues. Then they will present us with an opportunity to partner with them, and depending on the cost, our corporate office will get involved. Branham said he’s concerned about the cost, and that Virginia College is in a wait-and-see mode. “I’m just happy that we’ve gotten to the point where there’s going to be something to talk about.” At the November Fountain City Town Hall meeting, president Kenny Cloninger said he applauds Virginia College’s efforts. “We’ve been trying to get (covered) bus stops out here for a long time. We want positive things going on in Fountain City, and we’ve got good ridership. Folks just need a

good safe place, sheltered from the weather, to catch a bus.” Knoxville Area Transit’s customer service and community outreach manager Cindy Pickle spoke at the meeting and echoed Cloninger’s sentiments. She said KAT is very interested in getting bus shelters for Broadway. “We have shelters requested years down the line. We have to balance and judge,” she said. “Virginia College is skipping ahead of some minutes serve the Fountain City area. Pickle said that KAT officials are looking at the possibility of beefing up service here and in other areas in the wake of the University of Tennessee canceling KAT’s contract to shuttle students around campus as of Jan. 1. “It was a hard blow,” she said. “A lot of people were really stressed out. We still need the ridership – there were thousands of kids that rode. So how do you do that? You get new ridership. If you have to wait an hour on a

bus, how many of you are going to do that?” KAT prices are reasonable. Full fare is $1.50. Disabled veterans and senior citizens (65 and older) pay half fare and children under 5 ride free. A full-fare transfer is 50 cents; 25 cents for half-fare riders. A day pass is $4 and trolley rides are free.

Big week in Knox County By Sandra Clark With the Thanksgiving holiday this week and many folks heading out of town, both the Knox County Commission and the school board have set meetings. The school board will hold an extended workshop at 5 p.m. Monday, Nov. 19, in the boardroom of the Andrew Johnson Building. If you can’t attend, this would be a good meeting to watch on Comcast Cable Channel 10 or online at knoxschools. org. Superintendent Dr. Jim McIntyre will tackle the system’s report card – which schools made gains and which didn’t. Knox County Commission will meet a week early, at 1:45 p.m. Monday, Nov. 19, at the City County Building. Billboards: Public forum includes Powell guys Russell and Danny Amanns speaking about billboards. They’re for ‘em. Roundabouts: Adding insult to injury, the engineering firm of Cannon and Cannon Inc. is on the agenda for a supplemental appropriation of $18,873 for design services related to “intersection improvements” at Bob Gray Road and Bob Kirby Road and another $18,873 for design services for “intersection improvements” at Bob Gray and Mabry Hood roads. These extra services result in a recommendation which mirrored Cannon and Cannon’s first thought: let’s build roundabouts!

Bigfoot: Mayor Tim Burchett has invited some friends to town to hunt for Bigfoot, and Howard Phillips fed them baloney at a reception Friday at Powell Realty and Auction. In honor of our mayor’s interest in sighting the hairy sasquatch we are dedicating the above cartoon. Peddlers: R. Larry Smith’s effort to clear the byways of peddlers is on the agenda. It sailed through last week’s workshop with 10 votes (and one absence). TDOT hearing: Engineers from Tennessee Department of Transportation will be in Fountain City at Smithwood Baptist Church,

4914 Jacksboro Pike, 5-7 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 29, to discuss the proposed Broadway and I-640 interchange. Improvements include the addition of a new entrance loop ramp from northbound Broadway to I-640 west, the realignment of the I-640 westbound exit ramp to Broadway, reconstruction of the ramp from Tazewell Pike and southbound Broadway to I-640 westbound. It’s a complex (and expensive) solution to the problem of a bad merge of Broadway and Tazewell Pike traffic trying to hit I-640. Scott DesJarlais admitted sexual relationships

Thurston and the chimp MALCOLM’S CORNER | Malcolm Shell I suppose all small communities have a guy who can perform a variety of chores. My community of Concord had one of the best. His name was Thurston Raper. While he never held the social status of the village’s more notable citizens, he was loved and held in high esteem by those who knew him. I seriously doubt that there was a single family that didn’t use his services from time to time. Thurston lived under austere conditions but managed to provide food and shelter. During the winter he walked the railroad tracks picking up loose coal that

had fallen from coal cars. He would walk several miles one way then bring the coal back to where he started and then walk in the opposite direction and return the gathered coal to his pile. Most people would have been glad to give him coal, but Thurston would not have felt comfortable taking something that he had not earned. Thurston had several chores that he performed on a regular basis, such as sweeping the floor and gathering trash from around commercial buildings. My father, a railroad telegrapher, hired Thurston regularly to help

tidy up the premises around the train depot. And the postmaster hired him to hang the mail bag on a crane-like arm where it was caught by baggage car personnel as the train came through. But, of all the experiences that Thurston had, I am sure that one stood out in his memory above all the rest. Thurston was the local gravedigger and he made an art out of it. Today, graves are opened with a backhoe, but Thurston dug them with a pick and shovel during the hot summer months and in winter when the ground was frozen. His graves were a perfect size, the walls were cut to a perfect vertical and all edges were cut at precisely 90 degrees. It was during such a grave opening that this story begins. Ray Hobbs, who owned the local TV sales and service establishment, had a pet chimpanzee. The chimp was kept at his service establishment and people would often go by and visit the chimp, whose name was Mike. Mike had a habit of getting loose on a regular basis and running through the

ning with a leash and some food to entice the chimp to give up the chase. I am sure Ray replaced Thurston’s sandwich, but I doubt he could replace the memory of his rather traumatic experience with Mike. After several months and several more escapes, Ray decided that Mike was not going to change his ways. So he built a sturdy cage at the railroad depot and that became Mike’s temporary home. All the railroad people got to know Mike and often brought him food. And the community folks would stop to visit him on a regular basis. Mike was finally turned over to a zoo where he spent the rest of his life with other chimps. I have often wondered whether he taught them the same game of “throw the shovel.” Most of the old timers who remember Thurston’s encounter with the chimp are no longer with us, including Thurston, but there are still some who remember the incident and are quick to tell their version of what happened.

village. Ray was the only one who could coax him back into his cage. On one hot summer day, Thurston was digging a grave in the Masonic Cemetery which was quite close to where Mike was housed. Well, on that particular day, Mike had managed to escape. When Thurston looked up he was startled to see a chimp sitting on the side of the grave eating the sandwich he’d brought for lunch. Thurston yelled at the chimp. It jumped into the grave and Thurston came out of the grave about as fast as the chimp jumped in. Hoping to save the rest of his lunch, Thurston chased the chimp around the grave several times and finally threw his shovel toward it. Well, the chimp got the picture really quickly, picked up the shovel and began to chase Thurston around the grave and finally threw the shovel at him. Apparently, Mike thought it was a game he was being invited to play. When Ray realized the chimp was gone and observed all the commotion occurring in the adjacent cemetery, he came run-

Oh what might have been During winter workouts, spring practice, summer exercises, all of August and earlier in the season, when it still mattered, Kentucky at Tennessee had all the earmarks of a great grudge game. Oh what joy that would have been, leftover turkey and smoked Wildcats. Score 50 or 75 and get even for the mess made last November in Lexington. Start a new streak. Cuff ’em around. Leave no doubt who is boss in this little border rivalry. Ouch. It hurts to consider what transpired. The orange quarterback who didn’t play very well at the end of 2011 and was

accused of not caring, and still behaved as a juvenile delinquent in June and July, noticed pro scouts frowning, grew up some and threw really big numbers at weaker foes. Great arm, absolutely great. Where there was no running game, one developed. It isn’t awesome but it is noticeable. The offensive

line matured and became a source of pride. Which hand James Stone used for centering ceased to matter. Receivers performed much as advertised. Well, Cordarrelle Patterson was even more exciting. Yes, some of his moves were sideways but they were magical. The defense? Prayers were not enough. This group fluctuated between helpless and hopeless. Don’t try to do the math on cost per stop – salaries, office space, courtesy cars, cellphones, whistles, caps, food, travel, overheated calculators trying to keep count of the yardage. Players were extra.

Blessed be my rock The Lord liveth; and blessed be my rock; and exalted be the God of the rock of my salvation. Therefore I will give thanks unto thee, O Lord, among the heathen, and I will sing praises unto thy name. (2 Samuel 22: 47, 50 KJV) As is so often the case, I know this text because I have sung it; not in a hymn, nor an anthem, but in a praise chorus. I will admit (and there are those who know this about me and love me anyway) that

Lynn Hutton

contemporary praise music is not my native tongue. It is not that I don’t like it, or can’t sing it. And I admit there are some real gems among its additions to church music. The plain truth is that I think the faith is more complex than simple praise. There is also a place in our church music for hymns that challenge us, that call us out beyond ourselves, that

Kentucky didn’t contribute much toward making the great grudge match meaningful. It lost by 40-0 to visiting Vanderbilt and got Joker fired with time still on the clock. He was going, either way. We have learned that Southeastern Conference coaches who do not win are replaced. This is extra-large business. There are few discounts in debt service. Empty seats are a waste. Patience is not a virtue. You have heard the trumpets and the battle cry: Fire the coach and maybe the athletic director and chancellor, if they get in the way. Dearly departed coaches are seldom crushed. They go with big buyouts, sign on with ESPN and live happily ever after – unless they are recycled.

Alas, they are sometimes replaced by other coaches who get paid a lot but do not win in the Southeastern Conference. Tough league. Oh, you have noticed. What Kentucky-Tennessee has been reduced to is a going-away present. Think kindly of those who will leave early for the NFL. Please applaud as seniors are introduced. This is their final fling on Shields-Watkins Field – unless they make large donations or until they are legends at some distant homecoming. I admire Ben Bartholomew, third-generation Volunteer, willing to try any assignment, faithful to the finish. And Herman Lathers, linebacker who would never give up. Tight end Mychal Rivera did his job. Offensive guard

Dallas Thomas was on the Outland Trophy watch list but may not win. Wideout Zach Rogers certainly contributed, especially against the Carolinas. I salute linebacker Willie Bohannon and defensive backs Prentiss Waggner, Marsalis Teague and Rod Wilks. Strange that some were more functional last year than this. How about Joseph Ayres becoming a starter for a few minutes. What a surprise when Darin Gooch was a late May discovery at Butte junior college. There are other seniors, long-suffering. Sorry they didn’t get to experience Tennessee on top. Yes, we still remember.

acknowledge our brokenness and our uncertainty, that allow us to lament, to weep and to grow. Besides which, I am nearing the age when I can defend any unpopular opinion I have with, “What do you want from me? I’m old!” But this particular text, even in the King James Version, has a cadence to it, a swing. Go back to the top of this column and read the first sentence of that 2 Samuel text out loud. Read it with emphasis, like you

mean it! You see? You hear that rhythm?

Light up the Night Cross Roads Church adds contemporary service By Cindy Taylor Cross Roads Church pastor Robert Cook is no stranger to trying something new. After all, he and wife Janice did move to Tennessee from their native Scotland more than 20 years ago. Their first child, Rebecca, was born here within a year, followed soon by a second daughter, Ruth. So when church member A.J. Loeffler felt the need to start a contemporary evening service, Cook didn’t hesitate. “We had talked about adding a contemporary service for a while and finally decided it was the right time,” said Cook.

Loeffler, a youth leader and church elder, got church leaders together to discuss how to proceed. Members started attending contemporary services at other churches. They decided that Sunday evening would work best for adding another service and held the first Light up the Night service Nov. 4. “This is not really something new, it’s just new to me,” said Cook, who has pastored at Cross Roads for more than 20 years. “We’re looking at more modern music and a shorter, less traditional service.” Cook says God called him to come to Tennessee after he and his wife passed through Knoxville. He met people here who called him after he returned to Scotland asking if he would consider

taking a church in Knoxville. He and his wife came for an agreed-upon five years and never left. Cook says the people and culture here are not really that different from Scotland. “Home is where you make it. I don’t recall anything being difficult when we moved. There is so much Scottish heritage here in Tennessee.” Loeffler and Cook laugh constantly and are comfortable joking with each other. There is a lot of finger-pointing between the two, but to give credit rather than blame. Cook prepares Elder A.J. Loeffler and pastor Robert Cook of Cross Roads Church. Photo by C.

147 million orphans By Theresa Edwards As part of Grace Baptist Church’s mission series “Break Our Hearts,” development pastor Todd Stewart welcomed Suzanne Mayernick and Gwen Oatsvall, founders of 147 Million Orphans foundation, to tell their personal adoption stories. The name says the bottom line ... There are 147 million orphans in the world. The organization’s vision is to see no child in need of basic necessities. It seeks out and completes projects to provide food, water or medicine domestically and internationally. Much of its work is done in Honduras, Haiti and Uganda. Suzanne and Gwen are both moms who love orphans. They met six years ago when both were going through their first adoptions; one domestic and one international. Thirteen kids

Scott, have two biological sons and four adopted children: two Chinese girls and an African boy and girl. Suzanne and her husband, Mike, have four biological children and three adopted children. Terri Bowles of Bethany

Shopper-News Presents Miracle Makers

Graduation rate jumps at Gibbs High Principal credits staff, hard work

Gibbs High School principal Lynn Hill Photo by Jake Mabe

By Jake Mabe Collaboration. A whole lot of hard work. Eleven steps. Those are the reasons Gibbs High School principal Lynn Hill says the school achieved a 94 percent graduation rate for 2012, seven percentage points ahead of this year’s federallyrequired mark of 87 percent. “That graduation rate is excellent,” Hill says. “We designed 11 specific steps to help us reach that goal.” 1.

Pyramid of Interventions Developed by each department to provide strategies for struggling students. 2. Tutoring Held before and after school, specifically in English, math and science. 3. Advisory groups Groups of students are mentored by the same teacher for their four years of high school. “It provides guidance and academic support for student success,” Hill says. 4. Multiple notification to parents Hill says parents are notified about student achievement, attendance, performance and other issues in a myriad of ways – phone calls, emails, through the school’s website, and through the Parent Portal, in which parents can see their student’s attendance and grades, for example, in virtual “real time.” 5. Graduation requirement meetings Guidance counselors hold meetings that specifically highlight graduation requirements during school hours for juniors and seniors and at night for parents. 6. Academic recovery Hill says students have multiple opportunities to make up lost credits through recovery credits, e-learning and summer school. 7. The Learning Center Available during the school day, it can be used as a time for students to earn recovery credits or to improve study skills. 8. Freshman Academy Gibbs High established its version

GIBBS HIGH LONGITUDINAL GRADUATION RATES

of a freshman academy during the 2009-10 school year. Hill says the purpose is to give teachers a common plan to collaborate with regard to student achievement. At Gibbs, 9th-grade students were housed in the same area of the school for part of the day. Its purpose for freshmen is to ease their transition into high school. Hill says the freshman academy will be returning next year. 9. Attendance Hill says that both student and teacher attendance are closely monitored, “because research shows that teacher (absenteeism) can also have a negative effect on student achievement.” 10. “Skinnies” Filed under what he calls “thinking outside the box,” Hill says that “skinnies” divide the 90-minute block schedule period, so that teachers and groups of students are paired together. For example,

CLASS OF 2009

76.8 PERCENT

CLASS OF 2010

83.2 PERCENT

CLASS OF 2011

89.5 PERCENT

CLASS OF 2012

94.0 PERCENT missed assignment. “She’s on them like a duck on a June bug.”

a group of students would be with a math teacher for 45 minutes of the block and with an English teacher for the remaining 45 minutes. “The advantage is the teacher has the students all year long. The disadvantage is it’s a very short period. We’re probably going to do some adjustments and perhaps make the periods longer.” 11. Creation of a graduate coach Hill says this piece has been critical to the graduation rate improvement. The graduation coach (at Gibbs, it is longtime English teacher Liz Honeycutt) has a threepart job: identifying at-risk students, setting up a plan for them to graduate and monitoring them, “whether that means bringing kids in for meetings or calling mom or dad about a

Hill says the school’s next main academic goal is to close achievement gaps in all subject areas as charted through a three-year “slope” average. He says his staff has embraced the PLC (Professional Learning Community) collaboration time. Each department is required to create a SMART (Specific Measurable Attainable Relevant Timed) Goal, either a short-term or long-term goal, and delineate specific ways to achieve it, as well as work together on common instruction and common assessment. “I’ve never seen a staff so focused. Each department decides the best time for them to collaborate for 30 minutes each week, either before school, after school or on an early release day. “It also helps with camaraderie.”

North Knox Key Clubs make difference in community

Central High Key Club officers are: Brooke Tatum, Brittany Davis, president Abagail Booher and Jennifer DeHart. The Central chapter has hosted a car wash to raise money for projects, including donating Thanksgiving baskets to needy families. They have visited residents at an area veterans home and plan to host a competition at school to raise money for charity.

The Northside Kiwanis Club honored the three high school Key Clubs it sponsors during its luncheon meeting at The Foundry last week. “These students and the Key Clubs are making a big difference in their communities,” said club member Charles Harrington.

Fulton High Key Club officers are: Andrew Sweet, Hannah Miller, president Becky Miller, Erica Rainer and (back) Mary Paige. The Fulton chapter has participated in many service projects including helping at Ronald McDonald House, Trick or Treat for Unicef, hosting a concession stand during a band exhibition, Teacher Appreciation Week and Baskets of Hope.

Del Moro named to Army Bowl band Halls High senior Daniel Del Moro was honored at a special ceremony last week for his selection to the Army All-American Bowl marching band. Del Moro submitted a three piece audition video and was selected from thousands of applicants for a spot in the 125-member band. He is the first Knox County student to be selected and one of six representing the state of Tennessee. Halls High band director Eric Baumgardner praised Del Moro for his dedication and leadership. “He is multi-talented and can play a variety of percussion instruments. He was second chair All State as a junior and he continues to take lessons to get better. That’s dedication.” Principal Mark Duff added, “I couldn’t be more proud or impressed. This is a heck of a good day for Halls High.” Del Moro will march with the All-American band Saturday, Jan. 5, in San Antonio. Photo by Ruth White

Budget-Friendly Cabinets Modern’s Millie Modern Supply's design consultant + remodeling expert

Buy AmericanMade Sinks! Hip Hip Hooray for American-made Elkay Manufacturing! Elkay filed petitions that initiated an investigation by the United States Department of Commerce against Chinese imported stainless steel sinks that were selling from 54.25 percent to 76.53 percent of the U.S. sales price. Yikes! It’s hard to compete against cheap! The U.S. Commerce folks’ preliminary decision in September 2012 requires Chinese competitors to pay cash deposits on stainless steel sinks imported into the U.S. Amounts range from 50.28 to 76.15 percent of the customs value of the imports. This is a gi-normous win! This ruling helps to protect U.S. jobs. Elkay is America’s number one selling stainless steel sink company with 3500 U.S employees. Most of these Chinese sinks are cheapo’s made of a grade of stainless steel inferior to Elkay’s. The lower the stainless gauge number, the thicker, which helps reduce scratching & noise. The ’ol “pay for what ya get” rule is dead-on here! This Fed ruling will make the imports more in line with American-made pricing. Before you go shellin’ out your hard earned bucks on a swanky new stainless sink, ask where it’s made. Buy American-made and let the bucks stop here! Shop by Modern Supply’s Lovell Road showroom and take a peek at Elkay sinks. They have fab sinks in every shape, size and configuration. My design sistas will be tickled pink to help. Don’t forget… Tell ’em Millie sent you! millie@modernsupplyco.com

Kitchens are the heart of the home and used for so much more than preparing food. They’re a gathering place and often an extension of the family living area. People today are staying in their homes longer and are remodeling to suit their taste and lifestyle and not just for resell value. Statistics show a kitchen remodel has the largest pay-back of any home remodel. A lot of factors may influence the decision to remodel. Are your kitchen cabinets beginning to fall apart? Are dated appliances at the end of their life? Want to open up the area by removing a wall? Need more storage and better traffic flow? All great reasons! The biggest remodeling concern is budget. A justified concern since large, showstopper kitchen costs can soar. However, they don’t have to! By taking a hard look at your must-have’s, deciding which things you can live without, and choosing the right products, your remodel can be within reach. Cabinetry and hardware account for approximately twenty-nine percent of a kitchen remodeling budget according to the National Kitchen and Bath Association. Modern Supply represents several cabinetry lines; each with their own niche, price range and design options. Armstrong Cabinets are made in the USA and offer a wide range of semi-custom, fine quality kitchen and bath cabinetry. We know and trust the Armstrong brand to deliver exceptional craftsmanship and value. With three lines, more than 20 finishes and 23 door styles, there’s beauty to meet your budget.

Slate gray, one of Armstrong’s new finishes.

● Allwood™ is Armstrong’s top-tier construction feature for custom built cabinetry. ● Premier™ Series construction is finely crafted with quality and affordability. It offers a budget-conscious choice that doesn’t sacrifice style or quality. ● Origins™ Series combines the durability and value of the Allwood™ construction with the environmental benefits of sustainable, low-emitting materials. Based on your budget, you may add options such as dovetail drawers, soft-close drawers and soft-close door hinges. Armstrong also offers glass and aluminum doors, moldings, light rail and finish glazes.

HALLS/FOUNTAIN CITY SHOPPER-NEWS â&#x20AC;˘ NOVEMBER 19, 2012 â&#x20AC;˘ A-15

News from Knoxvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Community Development Corporation (KCDC)

Dorothy Phillips, resident at Isabella Towers, accepts a Thanksgiving dinner basket from Knoxvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Community Development Corporation at last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s turkey donation. Each year, KCDC provides turkeys and staff at each property donate the fixings. Phillipsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; box included a full turkey dinner and even treats for her dog, Chippy.

Turkey Day at KCDC By Alvin Nance Thanksgiving is a time to count the blessings we have in our lives, to think about others and share our blessings with them as well. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a Nance philosophy we have put into practice here at KCDC year-round, but especially during this holiday season. Every Thanksgiving, our senior asset managers at each property choose one or two families at each site, depending on the size of the property, to receive a box with everything they need to cook a full Thanksgiving dinner. I particularly enjoy doing this because it shows that we are more than just a landlord. We really care about our residents and want the holidays to be just as special for them as they are for us. KCDC picks up the tab for the turkeys, and our wonderful KCDC employees provide all the Thanksgiving fixings. Our Community Involvement Committee organizes the donations and make

sure every box has what the residents need. The week of Thanksgiving, KCDC employees travel to each of the homes, knock on the door and provide a needy family with turkey, stuffing, gravy, canned vegetables, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, packaged desserts and other nonperishable items to make their holiday special. Our senior asset manager at Autumn Landing, Kristie Toby, told me she has been overwhelmed at the food donations sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s received from her employees. She has enough to fill two boxes, one for a senior citizen and another for a four-person household. The newly-formed Autumn Landing Resident Association will travel to these houses on Tuesday and surprise the residents with their delicious meal. This is happening across our 19 properties. Each year, I see the smiles on our residentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; faces when they receive their Thanksgiving dinner, and I am thankful for the exceptional KCDC team and their heart for our residents. Giving truly is the best gift of the holiday season. Alvin Nance is executive director and CEO of KCDC.

Tennova grows By Ruth White The hospital on Emory Road at I-75 has grown again. Last week officials cut the ribbon for a new fifth floor at North Knox Medical Center. The floor was left unfinished originally and built out recently to accommodate cancer patients. The new oncology wing â&#x20AC;&#x153;will allow us to provide a different level of care for patients and their families,â&#x20AC;? said CEO Rob Followell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The wing will also provide an environment for nursing staff with a heart and passion for oncology patients and their specialized care.â&#x20AC;? The wing features patient-centered care and decentralized nursing. The rooms are warm and open, inviting to family and

friends. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People heal better when surrounded by loved ones,â&#x20AC;? said Pam Wenger, a registered nurse. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our goal is to put care and nurses at the bedside.â&#x20AC;? There is no central station for nurses on the floor, and the patients receive care from staff members who are always close by. Each room features a cabinet that holds the necessary items to serve patients, cutting down on the time used searching for supplies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We give great care and we want families to see the care we give their loved ones while at the hospital,â&#x20AC;? said Wenger of the open rooms and visitation policy. The North Knox Medical Center has become part of a thriving community since its opening. The addition of the 15-bed wing will add

Pam Wenger, a registered nurse at Tennova, is excited to share the good news from the fifth floor. She shows guests a cabinet in one patient room that holds all necessary supplies for nurses to use in that room. 38 positions to the staff of close to 500. The hospital is one of the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest tax-paying entities with a total economic impact

exceeding $35.7 million. The equipment in the new wing cost $265,000. It will provide efficiency and care that is priceless.

Students forge

international friendships

Sisters Niang Ciin Boih and Dim Lun Pi from Myanmar (formerly Burma) are in high school at Temple Baptist Academy.

ver the past several years, the Knoxville area has seen an inﬂux of immigrant refugees from places like Iraq, Myanmar and Africa. Temple Baptist Academy has been working with a number of these refugee families to help their children discover a path to a bright future through education.

A diverse student population provides a unique opportunity to every student at Temple. Students are exposed to different cultures and languages while enhancing their own perspective on the world as they forge cross-cultural friendships. With more than a dozen students from the Middle

Siblings Beloved Umwutari, Jean Remember and Believe Iradukunda from Tanzania, Africa, are elementary school students at Temple Baptist Academy. East, Asia and Africa, Temple Academy is making a Christian education available to students from a diversity of back-

you are interested in helping sponsor an international student at Temple, please contact David Whitaker at 938-8180.

Thanksgiving Food Drive Powell Food City manager Tony Higginbotham gives Temple Baptist Academy headmaster David Whitaker a donation for the school’s annual Thanksgiving food drive. The drive concluded Nov. 16. Students collected hundreds of food items to include in Thanksgiving baskets for families in need. Through a partnership with Food City of Powell, Temple students will help feed dozens of Knoxville area families who would not otherwise enjoy a traditional Thanksgiving meal. “We are grateful for Tony Higginbotham’s support of our school and our local community,” said Whitaker. “Food City has gone the extra mile to help make this effort a success.”

Temple students honor veterans b iis a special i l November time for Temple students to honor those who have kept America free and safe.

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

Fort Sanders Perinatal Center is super choice for surprised mom-to-be Brandi Renfroe of Halls and her husband, Jimmy, never expected to have a second child. For one thing, Brandi was taking birth control pills and, secondly, it had taken nearly three years to get pregnant with their first child. And being 41 years old put her in a high-risk category for pregnancy. But in December of 2011, Brandi found out â&#x20AC;&#x201C; surprise! â&#x20AC;&#x201C; she was expecting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because of my age, we decided immediately we would see Dr. (Perry) Roussis. I was overweight, too, and hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t started prenatal care because pregnancy was the furtherest thing from our minds.â&#x20AC;? Dr. Perry Roussis, medical director of the Perinatal Center at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center, and his partner Dr. Gary Stephens specialize in high-risk pregnancy and delivery. Brandi was more than anxious about this pregnancy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My first reaction when I found out was absolute panic,â&#x20AC;? she says. But panic, wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the reaction of the coupleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 7-year-old daughter, Rylee. She had longed for a baby sister. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Right before Christmas, she told my husband she had been praying for a baby brother or sister,â&#x20AC;? says Brandi, â&#x20AC;&#x153;My husband said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Honey itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not going to happen.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;? But then, Ryleeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prayers were answered. Brandi held a video camera while Jimmy told her the good news. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Remember how you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get that doll for Christ-

Brandi Renfroeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s high risk pregnancy with baby Reece was picture perfect thanks to the staff and physicians at the Fort Sanders Perinatal Center. mas?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Well youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to get a real baby instead,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;? Brandi remembers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And she starts jumping up and down and going nuts!â&#x20AC;? Throughout the pregnancy, everything went well. Brandi did develop gestational diabetes, a common condition in which a pregnant womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blood sugar level gets too high. If left untreated, it can cause

problems for the baby and mother. Since she hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t experienced this with her first child, Brandi was â&#x20AC;&#x153;clueless as to what to do.â&#x20AC;? But a diabetic counselor on staff at the Perinatal Center helped Brandi rework her diet to control the condition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I started eating healthy and taking care of myself as soon as I found out I was pregnant,â&#x20AC;? Bran-

di explains. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Having a diabetic counselor was a huge part of my healthy pregnancy and delivery. They make sure youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re eating the right stuff. I felt like I was getting the best care I could ever get.â&#x20AC;? With her diabetes under control, delivery went smoothly. Reece Aspen Renfroe was born August 21, weighing 9 pounds, 10.6 ounces.

Caring for mom and baby: The Center for Maternal and Newborn Health Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center and East Tennessee Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital have teamed together to offer specialized care for moms-to-be and their special deliveries. The Center for Maternal and Newborn Health uses a multidisciplinary approach to the early diagnosis, evaluation and treatment of high-risk obstetrical patients and at-risk newborns. Our specialized physicians work together to determine the best course of action for mothers or babies in distress. Services include: â&#x2013; Ultrasound diagnostics â&#x2013; Genetic counseling â&#x2013; Maternal/fetal medicine â&#x2013; Dedicated maternal/fetal coordinator â&#x2013; Labor and delivery â&#x2013; Neonatal intensive care â&#x2013; Pediatric specialist consultation â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fort Sanders Regional is known for our expertise in managing high-risk pregnancies and deliveries,â&#x20AC;? says Fort Sanders

President and CAO Keith Altshuler. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This center brings our longstanding relationship with East Tennessee Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital to the forefront of our womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s services efforts,â&#x20AC;? adds Altshuler. When a woman has risk factors that can affect her pregnancy, it is important to have a physician who is experienced with complex cases. Physicians at the Fort Sanders Perinatal Center have specialized training in maternal/ fetal health. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We work with your obstetrician to determine the best course of treatment,â&#x20AC;? says Dr. Perry Roussis, perinatologist at the Fort Sanders Perinatal Center. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Each woman and each pregnancy is different.â&#x20AC;?

That working relationship between the patient and physician is important. What makes the Center for Maternal and Newborn Health different is the established relationship between the perinatologists and the neonatologists at Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are like old married couples,â&#x20AC;? laughs perinatologist Dr. Gary Stephens, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good thing for our patients. We work very well together â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as does our staff â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to provide information and tools to couples experiencing a high-risk pregnancy.â&#x20AC;? The center operates on a consultative basis with referring physicians, or can, in some cases, temporarily assume the care of that patient throughout her high-risk pregnancy. For more information about the Center for Maternal and Newborn Health, visit www.maternalnewborn.com or call 865-541-1122.

Brandi Renfroe recommends Dr. Roussis, Dr. Stephens and Fort Sanders to anyone, whether a high or low-risk pregnancy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All in all, it was an awesome experience,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was absolutely the best decision we ever made. The staff was unbelievable. They took such great care of me and Reece, and anything I needed, they got for me.â&#x20AC;? Brandi says she even misses her Perinatal Center visits. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I looked forward to the appointments because everybody was so gracious and kind. They make you feel like youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re their only patient. I would always leave with all my questions answered. I never felt rushed, or herded in and out,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I felt very well taken care of.â&#x20AC;? Now, several months after delivery, Brandi says she has another reason to be thankful. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the Lord had mercy on me because of my age, by giving me a baby who sleeps seven to nine hours a night,â&#x20AC;? says Brandi, who is back at work at Knoxville Heart Group, a cardiology practice at Fort Sanders Regional. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even if I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work here, I would have chosen Fort Sanders because thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where Dr. Roussis and Dr. Stephens are. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re awesome as far as Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m concerned.â&#x20AC;? For more information about the Fort Sanders Perinatal Center call (865) 673-FORT (3678).
