A big tote bag sits on the floor behind her desk. She won’t walk out to her car until it’s stacked full of student papers that she’ll work on until deep into the night.

Gabby’s gift It’s Mission Accomplished for Gabby Bogart, the Gresham Middle School 7th grader whose holiday wish was to collect warm blankets and socks for residents at Beverly Park Place Health and Rehabilitation Center in honor of her great grandmother, Opel Williamson, who spent the last years of her life there. When she visited her Nanny, who died in September, Gabby noticed how cold it is in the building, so she hatched the idea of organizing a blanket drive. It wasn’t easy, but with the help of her family and some kindhearted friends and community members, Gabby delivered 270 blankets and 270 pairs of slip-resistant booties (donated by the Salvation Army) – enough for every patient there – in time for Thanksgiving.

TITAN A SELF-STORAGE

Rogero loves her job By Betty Bean One reason Madeline Rogero loves being mayor – which should not, she told the Fountain City Lions Club, be confused with running for mayor – is that city government is non-partisan. Republicans, Democrats and others work together without regard to political party. “This is where the rubber

meets the road,” Rogero said. “At the city level we get things done. We don’t run on a partisan basis and we don’t serve that way. We cooperate to get things done.” Rogero praised City Council and her staff, saying, “I hire people who are smarter than me.” She spoke without notes for nearly an hour, fielding questions and covering a broad range

of topics from pension reform to the difficulty of getting into the hot new Market Square restaurant, Tupelo Honey, even if you’re the mayor. (Except for the ribbon-cutting, Rogero hasn’t been able to dine there yet.) She discussed Knoxville’s successful bid for an IBM Smarter To page A-3

TDOT hearing is Thursday By Sandra Clark The interchange at Broadway and I-640 is scheduled for an upgrade, and engineers will talk with the public from 5-7 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 29, at the fellowship hall of Smithwood Baptist Church, 4914 Jacksboro Pike. The project is estimated to cost $15 million to $20 million. It is intended to mitigate safety concerns and congestion, specifically southbound on Broadway at Tazewell Pike, and is the second

Project manager Michael W. Russell, P.E., may be reached at 594-2334 or mike. russell@tn.gov. Detailed information is available at www.tdot.state.tn.us/i640/.

phase of a 2-part project initiated in 1996. The plan calls for a two-lane westbound on-ramp from Broadway to I-640 with separate lanes

for Tazewell Pike traffic and Broadway traffic. The ramp will be extended about 780 feet westbound so that motorists have ample time to merge onto I-640. The second feature is a loop ramp to move northbound Broadway traffic onto westbound I-640. The westbound off-ramp from I-640 will be positioned under the proposed loop ramp. This alternative is the preferred because it: ■ Minimizes acquisition of rightof-way and the taking of businesses

■ Does not encroach on the blue line stream running along Dutch Valley Drive ■ Does not place undue traffic burden on Old Broadway, which is ill-equipped to accommodate additional traffic ■ Leaves Dutch Valley in place. According to TDOT, Broadway has an average daily traffic count of 42,680 vehicles per day, while Tazewell Pike (SR 331) accommodates 20, 610 vehicles per day.

Wrestling alumni event a hit He joked that he was sore the next day, but Halls High wrestling coach Shannon Sayne says the team’s special alumni fundraiser Nov. 16 at the school that featured matches among alumni – including Sayne against his brother-in-law, middle school wrestling coach Cody Humphrey – was a huge hit. “We were looking for an

It was a great crowd.” Alumni Eric Davis and James Brady organized the night. Sayne says the idea had been floating around for awhile, especially for him to wrestle Humphrey, but he said, “We never would do it.” After several “Red and White” matches among cur-

Brady wrestled Brad Woods, Davis wrestled Scott Holt (the middle school assistant coach who was deemed an honorary alumnus for the night), Joe Gunter wrestled Brad McManus, Ethan Gunter wrestled Justin McGaha, Jeremy Branam wrestled Phillip Maxwell, Benji Gray wrestled Caleb Leonard and Shane Arnold wrestled Barry King. The “encore” match was Sayne vs. Humphrey. “We went at it like we thought we could. It ended in

Rogero loves her job Cities Challenge Grant, which won’t bring the city any hard dollars, but will import a six-member IBM team to spend three weeks here studying the problem of weatherization and energy education for KUB customers who receive emergency assistance to pay their monthly bills. Rogero said she expects recommendations that will lead to concrete solutions. Her first challenge was the city’s ballooning pension obligation, a legacy of past administrations and the 2007-08 recession that left Knoxville with a $130 million unfunded liability. Like many cities with defined benefits plans, the taxpayers are on the hook for most of the investment risks (although employees do contribute six percent annually). Rogero appointed a taskforce to study the problem, and seven workshops later, City Council approved a hybrid plan that was then approved by the voters in the November election.

“If you think the first thing I wanted to deal with was pension reform, you’re crazy… In many cities, this tears people apart,” Rogero said. “But here, City Council and city employees cooperated and it is important that we have a plan that shares the risk.” She said she is also pleased that issues surrounding tourism promotion have been settled after controversy sunk the Knoxville Tourism and Sports Corporation. “We have the tourism initiative back on track,” she said. Other projects she cited: ■ Neighborhood improvements, including tightening up and enforcing vacant and blighted property ordinances. ■ The $65 million shopping complex at the old Fulton Bellows site adjacent to the University of

Sayne hopes the momentum yields large dividends for the wrestling program. “I think it got a lot of people excited. We want to pack that gym every time we have a wrestling match and have home court advantage.”

government A $100 million boondoggle

The Republic of Tennessee On the Saturday afternoon before Thanksgiving, a Knox County Democrat posted the following Facebook observation:

lion could be better used on other local road projects. Well said. If your daily travels include Raccoon Valley Road in Heiskell, the 1-lane underpass in Karns, the intersection at Harbison’s Crossroads, Nubbin Ridge Road, Bob Kirby or Bob Gray out west, you know what Burchett means. TDOT plans a public hearing 5-7 p.m. Thursday, Dec.6, at South-Doyle Middle School. Try to attend. Better yet, drop a note to Gov. Bill Haslam. Knox County is past due for road improvements, but the money must be spent in the areas of greatest need.

“Democrats lining up to see a movie about the first GOP president; the world turned upside down ...” And sure enough, the parking lot was full and the lobby was packed at the Carmike Ten Theater for the Saturday matinees. Although most moviegoers were there for the latest vampire saga, there was also a pretty good crowd queuing up for tickets to “Lincoln,” many of whom were were pretty much in agreement that Lincoln would not only be well-pleased by the results of the 2012 presidential election, but that if he were alive today, he’d be a happy Democrat.

Sword speeds up justice By Jake Mabe Steve Sword made one thing clear. When Halls B&P president Shannon Carey said last week the Halls community has been especially affected by the retrials ordered for the defendants accused of the 2007 torture and murder of Halls native Chris Newsom and his girlfriend, Channon Christian, in the wake of the scandal involving former judge Richard Baumgartner, Sword didn’t mince words. “That will not happen on my watch.” Sword was the speaker at the B&P’s November meeting at Beaver Brook Country Club. A West Virginia native who graduated from King College in Bristol and earned a law degree from UT, Sword was appointed criminal court judge for Tennessee’s Division I by Gov. Bill Haslam following Baumgartner’s resignation. He says that during the last 16 months he has tried to emphasize increased efficiency and integrity. A former assistant district attorney, Sword said he prosecuted a large number of child molestation cases. “Sometimes by the time the case came to trial, the child would be a young adult and (some cases) were tried 10 years later. Justice delayed is justice denied.” Sword says he has initiated a policy to not assign a defendant a trial date at arraignment unless the defendant is accused of a Class A or Class B felony. Previously, Sword said trial dates set at arraignments were often scheduled seven or eight

president and the 44th. They were both tall, skinny Illinois lawyers who had served in Congress as well as in that state’s legislative body before running for president. They had both lost U.S. House races. Barack Obama invited comparisons from the get-go by kicking off his presidential campaign in Springfield, quoting the Old Rail-splitter liberally. When he won, he was sworn in on Lincoln’s bible, and he let it be known that he had drawn inspiration from Doris Kearns Goodwin’s “Team of Rivals,” which told the story of how Lincoln had co-opted former opponents like William Seward to join his cabinet, just as Obama

would appoint Hillary Clinton Secretary of State. There were many similarities, but none has provided as much hilarity as the notion of 21st century secession. Lincoln’s election triggered the single-file exodus of the southern states from the union, who left behind eloquent declarations of secession citing the institution of slavery as the key issue, with Mississippi’s being the most explicit. “Our position is thoroughly identified with the institution of slavery – the greatest material interest of the world. Its labor supplies the product, which constitutes by far the largest and most important portions

of commerce of the earth. These products are peculiar to the climate verging on the tropical regions, and by an imperious law of nature, none but the black race can bear exposure to the tropical sun. These products have become necessities of the world, and a blow at slavery is a blow at commerce and civilization. That blow has been long aimed at the institution, and was at the point of reaching its consummation. There was no choice left us but submission to the mandates of abolition, or a dissolution of the Union, whose principles had been subverted to work out our ruin.” Discussing the tragedy of the Civil War and racial injustice in America in the same breath as the 30,000plus Tennesseans who have signed a secession petition since Obama’s re-election is like comparing a killer typhoon to a clown car wreck. But there are serious points to be made: Tennessee receives more federal dollars than it contributes, which might just be a problem. On the other hand, becoming a sovereign nation could ensure UT’s chances of winning a national championship in football – if we could beat Vandy. So maybe we better stay where we are.

until this time next year or later, but lots of speculation on names will surface between now and then. Dawn Coppock is one, as is Sevierville attorney Cyndy Richardson Wyrick. Both have been public in their interest. Pam Reeves has a distinguished background having been president of both the Knoxville and Tennessee Bar Associations. She is highly regarded and is married to city Law Director Charles Swanson. It is very possible the final Obama choice has not surfaced. The choice does not have to live in East Tennessee or Knox County. In fact, Judge Charles Neese of Greeneville was from Paris, Tenn., and Knoxvillian Clure Morton became a federal judge in Nashville. Others mentioned as a possible federal judge include former state Rep. Wayne Ritchie, Don Bosch, Greg Isaacs, Supreme Court Justices Gary Wade (also from

Sevierville) and Sharon Lee from Madisonville. All are Democrats. Ultimately, Sens. Alexander and Corker will have to agree to whomever the White House chooses in order to secure confirmation. U.S. Rep. Jim Cooper of Nashville is the senior House Democrat and normally would have a voice in recommendations to the White House. He was an early Obama supporter over Clinton in Tennessee in 2008. However, Tennessee is not a high priority state for President Obama as there are only two Democrats in the congressional delegation. Tennessee is solid GOP territory. Cooper’s recommendations are not always followed by the Obama White House. ■ Tank Strickland (Rogero mayoral assistant and former chair of Knox County Commission) was hospitalized a few weeks ago with breathing issues. He has been home on Gardenia for over a week but says he is improving and looks forward to getting back to work. ■ State Rep. Ryan Haynes, who is chair of the Knox County legislative delegation, has reached out to

newly-elected Democratic state Rep. Gloria Johnson, offering to introduce her to Speaker Harwell and assisting on committee assignments. Haynes, an active Republican, is one who works with members of both parties. Harwell has sole discretion on what committees all House members serve. ■ Nick Della Volpe has decided to seek a second term on city council in the 2013 council elections, which means all five of the current district council members will be on the city ballot next November. Besides Della Volpe, they include Brenda Palmer, Daniel Brown, Nick Pavlis and Duane Grieve. ■ Coliseum Director Bob Polk, who has had recurring back issues, is still looking at retirement but may delay it until 2013.

Out of the shadows Woman seeks to raise epilepsy awareness By Jake Mabe They are called grand mal seizures. Heather Webb says when one happens, her body becomes rigid. Her heart beats rapidly. She falls like axed timber, losing consciousnesses. Her eyes roll back into her head. She jerks violently. Heather has epilepsy. She was diagnosed with juvenile myoclonic epilepsy when she was 12. “I was on my way to school and suddenly dropped my books and papers on the school bus,” she says. “I blacked out. I just wasn’t there. My sister Krissy was taking (health occupational) classes at the time and just happened to have been studying seizures. The teacher told her I needed to go straight to the hospital.” Doctors told Heather she had a 50/50 chance of growing out of it. She didn’t. Her epilepsy worsened. “I went through so many medicines. I was a guinea pig for a long time.” She and her doctors have found a trio of medications that help control her epilepsy as well as possible. In 2000, she had a vagus nerve stimulator installed, a computerized electrical device similar in size, shape and implant location to a heart pacemaker that connects to the vagus nerve in the neck. She carries a magnet with her that can be swiped near the implant to stop a seizure. “It basically saved my life.” Heather says she witnessed another person have a grand mal seizure while she was working in a restaurant. “It can be very scary for a person who witnesses it.” Some with severe epilepsy, Heather says, often live “in the shadows,” as she puts it, fearful they might lose their job. Heather has not been able to drive for eight years. She admits that epilepsy has made some relationships difficult. According to the Epilepsy Foundation of East Tennessee’s website, “People with epilepsy may be embarrassed or fearful about their seizures and they may have to contend with the ignorance and fear of other people. Some people work through these issues on their own, and others may need some help from a nurse or a professional counselor to deal with them effectively.” Heather is on a mission to bring the disorder out of the shadows. She has

Epilepsy facts

■ More than three million Americans have epilepsy and 200,000 cases are diagnosed annually. ■ Seizures can last from a few seconds to a few minutes. ■ If someone is experiencing a seizure, do not try to restrain them or put any object (especially a finger) in their mouth. ■ Remove any nearby dangerous objects and, if the person has fallen, turn them on their side and place something soft under their head. For more tips and info, visit www. efeasttn.org, call The Epilepsy Foundation of East Tennessee at 522-4991 or visit www.akfus.org.

shared her story through traditional and social media during November’s Epilepsy Awareness Month. She would love to talk to middle or high school health students about epilepsy. In 2010, she was named an ambassador for the Knoxville region of The

Anita Kaufmann Foundation, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to educate the public not to fear epilepsy and seizures. It also raises money for medicinal research and to hopefully find a cure. Heather is planning to organize a benefit concert or some other event for the

Foundation’s Purple Day on March 26. Heather enjoys singing in church and says her faith sustains her. But, she admits that some days are just plain rough. “Any seizure can kill a person. You always wonder if this is the day you’re going to have your last seizure. Once, I fell and hit my head on concrete blocks. I busted my head open and lost control of my bodily functions. I woke up

in the hospital two hours later and for an hour after I awakened, my body was paralyzed.” She says some days she asks “why?” “But then, I get back up. I keep on going. If you stay down, you’re not going to get anywhere.” Anyone interested in helping Heather raise epilepsy awareness or help organize the local Purple Day event should email her at callmefeather@gmail.com.

Who killed Tennessee football? In lieu of flowers, please send memorial donations to the University of Tennessee athletics department, PO Box 15016, Knoxville, TN 37901. *** Autopsy results are pending. Investigations continue. Official explanations and excuses are under deep cover. Leaks are scarce but most of us think we already know who killed Tennessee football. Here is the plot: Five consecutive seasons with six or more losses is the absolute worst in the colorful history of the Volunteers. This is plain and simple awful. It is also inexcusable. Here are the principal characters (note which names appear frequently): Dr. Joe Johnson started

Marvin West

this mess by retiring as university president. Leadership has never been the same. Athletic director Doug Dickey returned to Florida to play more golf. Dickey’s replacement, nice guy Mike Hamilton, set world records as a fundraiser. He built great buildings. He lost touch with the primary mission, winning games. He may have never been in touch. Phillip Fulmer, legendary coach, was unable to win national titles on a reg-

ular basis. He had the Vols in the 2007 SEC championship game but was said to be drifting toward decline. Too loyal, assistants on cruise control. Recruiting was slipping, league running away from him. Fans were distressed. Strange sequence: Hamilton awarded Fulmer a raise and contract extension and promptly fired him. How it was handled, on homecoming week, was brutal. Fulmer’s record looks pretty good in retrospect. So, who killed Tennessee football? Fulmer didn’t. Hamilton, listening to former UT student manager and current super agent Jim Sexton, hired Lane Kiffin. Al Davis, godfather of the Oakland Raiders, said the boy coach would destroy the

For new things

Cross Currents

I am the Lord, I have called you in righteousness, I have taken you by the hand and kept you; I have given you as a covenant to the people, a light to the nations, to open the eyes that are blind, to bring out the prisoners from the dungeon, from the prison those who sit in darkness. I am the Lord, that is my name; my glory I give to no other, nor my praise to idols. See, the former things have come to pass, and new things I now declare; before they spring forth, I tell you of them. (Isaiah 42: 6-9 NRSV)

UT program and take the university down with him. That was an exaggerated forecast. Well, somewhat. Young Kiffin spent $2 million Tennessee dollars to bring along daddy Monte as defensive guru. Neither knew the first thing about stopping spread formations. The Arkansas wildcat was a total mystery. Young Kiffin said and did wild and reckless things. He, Ed Orgeron and/or unscrupulous associates caught the eye and ear of the NCAA. Violation police were closing in when the gang fled west, to Southern Cal. The mattress fire may not have been Hamilton’s fault. I will say probation is really embarrassing for losing teams. What happened next was a blunder. Hamilton chose Derek Dooley and told us

good times would follow. Derek was very lucky to land a lucrative, long-term contract for one of the better reconstruction jobs in the country on the strength of availability, family name, Southern lingo, law degree, 17-20 record at Louisiana Tech and earlier affiliation with Nick Saban. The aforementioned Mr. Sexton negotiated the deal. We now know Dooley was also unlucky. He was overmatched and the victim of several unfortunate incidents. Losing quarterback, receiver and safety to injury was hurtful. Counting to 11 was troublesome. So was Da’Rick. October schedules were overloaded. The inexplicable loss to Kentucky last year was deadly. Considerable pain was self-inflicted. Dooley’s scramble of assistants contributed to con-

fusion. Worst mistake was turning the defense over to Sal Sunseri. Let me say this politely: It didn’t work. Dooley and helpers, coming and going, recruited reasonably well but failed to gain on superior foes. Talent evaluation was fuzzy. Tennessee secured several players who can’t play. Precise measurables? To quote the former coach, you are what the record says you are, 4-19 in the SEC. He did improve the culture. Who killed Tennessee football? Hamilton is most often mentioned in this sad postmortem. Hamilton fired Fulmer without a plan. Hamilton hired Kiffin – and Dooley on the rebound. Hamilton is the prime suspect. Chancellor Jimmy Cheek? Is he a person of interest? Not much.

I suppose I selfishly wanted more time with family, but it was more than that. I wanted Thanksgiving to have its own time and then just a little space before we were ready to dive right into Advent and Christmas. That may be the reason I always want to put up the Chrismon tree and leave it bare and dark the first Sunday in Advent, then add the Old Testament Chrismons the next week, and the New Testament symbols the next, and finally on the Sunday before Christmas—TaDa, TaDa!—to turn on the tiny white lights. In my mind, at least, it

is one way to live out the season of expectancy, the time of waiting, the looking and leaning forward in time to a new thing that is about to happen. So, this year I am pleased that Advent begins in December, right where it belongs. (See, it really doesn’t take much to make me happy!) We will begin a new season in a new month, and we will sing the old songs that are always new and God will do a new thing! And as I clean and plan and prepare for Thanksgiving, I do so with my heart still planted firmly in that season of remembering the blessings

of the past year. Some of them were disguised, some of them were revealed only in retrospect, but some were realized in wondrous joy, others in catch-yourbreath amazement and a few were received with tears of humility. It pays to remember, as we enter this season of tradition and long memories, that God is always doing a new thing. We need to be attentive, to be watchful, to be in tune with God. So for now, enjoy your Thanksgiving feast, enjoy time with friends and family, give thanks for God’s goodness, and then be ready to “Prepare ye the way of the Lord!”

Connecting youth to Christ By Cindy Taylor Trey Meek will celebrate the completion of his first year as associate pastor for student ministry at Salem Baptist Church on Dec. 11. Meek has a vision for the future and says the members at Salem are helping him achieve it. “Salem is a very loving church with a heart for youth,” said Meek. “The members know how to live out the mission of Christ.” Meek came to Salem from Ridgeview Baptist Church where he was a member and served as youth pastor for three years. He says the pastor there, Halls resident Maston Jackson, was a great mentor.

“I have had several mentors in ministry but Pastor Jackson took me under his wing. He taught me how to relate to people and how to minister.” Meek has a degree in international business with a minor in Spanish along with a Masters of Divinity. A graduate of Southern Seminary last May, Meek says there is still a lot to learn in practical application that they don’t teach you in seminary. “The scriptures teach us that we are not only supposed to try to get kids to a decision for Christ but to make them disciples. I love working with youth because they have reached a point

in their lives where they are beginning to understand more of the bible and they are starting to ask relevant questions.” The church provides teaching and weekend ministry opportunities for the youth and holds discipleship classes throughout the year. “This church is a very sweet place. I am very close to our pastor, Michael Eldridge. We mesh well and I love working with him.” Meek and his wife, Amanda, work together with the youth at Salem and always have their eighth-month-old adopted

daughter, Emma, in tow. “The kids love our daughter,” said Meek. “Our mission statement is to connect students to Christ, to his church and then to his mission. We want to teach them to be a voice for Christ, to serve others and to tell others about Christ. We want to help our youth grow together, but look outside themselves.” The youth meet during Sunday school time each week. To reach Meek or find out more about the youth ministry at Salem Baptist, email treymeek@ salembaptisthalls.org or Trey Meek is the associate pastor for student ministry at Salem call 922-3490.

Hall has it! Shopper-News Presents Miracle Makers

By Betty Bean

It’s almost time for the final bell at South-Doyle Middle School, but 6th grade social studies teacher Donna Hall looks like she’s in the middle of her day. A big tote bag sits on the floor behind her desk. She won’t walk out to her car until it’s stacked full of student papers that she’ll work on until deep into the night. “A lot of people think teachers have such an easy job – ‘Oh, you’re off for the whole summer’ – but there aren’t too many nights when I don’t go home with this bag full,” said Hall, who has taught for 30 years. She has built a reputation for caring for her students, colleagues and community. She also has a reputation for making her world history classes fun. “I’ve been known to wear a Julius Caesar outfit when we study Rome or a toga when we take up Greece. “When we studied Mesopotamia, I let them know this is present-day Iraq. I try to bring it back to them, to help them understand how it affects their lives.” The daughter of the late Frances and Bill Sarrett, Hall studied education at UT, graduating from Holston High School with a degree in education. She’d always known she wanted to teach, but such jobs were hard to come by, so she went to work with her father at International Harvester. She married and moved to Nashville and Alabama and North Carolina over the next few years, eventually picking up some substitute teaching work. When she finally returned to Knoxville, she got a job teaching at Sunnyview Primary School, then Ramsey Elementary until it closed and she was moved back to Sunnyview. Her daughters Renee and Emily went with her. In 2001, her friend and co-worker Emily Hurst decided to transfer to South-Doyle and wanted Hall to go with her. “I told her, ‘I can’t. They’re too big, too mean. …’ But she talked me into

it and there’s no difference. They’re just taller. That’s the only difference between middle school and elementary school. And they still don’t come with paper and pencil.” It was a big year – she sold her house, changed schools and remarried. Her husband is former Knox County Register of Deeds Steve Hall – “The original,” she said, explaining that there are 13 Steve Halls in Knox County. “I want to have a dinner and invite all the Steve Halls to come.” Hall is known as South-Doyle’s “Sunshine Lady” because she keeps track of weddings, births, deaths,

years, to colon cancer because she was 52 and had not had a colonoscopy. So, when everybody turns 50, I present them with this little (dark blue rubber) bracelet and tell them they have until summer to get their colonoscopy done. I make them wear it and give it back to me after they get their test.” There’s a picture of Emily’s memorial service on Hall’s wall. Much as she loves teaching, she’s begun to dream about having time to travel to places she’s been to in books – particularly Rome, which she says is on her “bucket list,” and to Egypt, which fascinates her. “I would probably go on another five or six years, but Steve is wanting to retire and I don’t want to work if he’s not working. One day I think I’m going to retire, but the next day I think ‘What would I do?’ “I want to stay with the kids until I can’t remember stuff.”

‘Start at the top’

Parties and parades

Trainer gives sales tip to PBPA By Sandra Clark Steven Herzog, owner of the Sandler Training franchise in Knoxville, offered solid tips to improve sales to members of the Powell Business and Professional Association in November. “A lot of people can tell you no; fewer can say yes or no,” he said, urging sales reps to get past gatekeepers. “Learn to call at the top.” Herzog spoke from experience, fielding questions from the group. To retailers he said: “You spend a lot of money to get customers to walk through your door. Don’t run them off. “Don’t say, ‘May I help you?’ Instead, say, ‘Welcome. Have you been here before?’ “They will say yes or no. Either way, you say, ‘And what brings you in today?’ “People like to buy, but they don’t like to be sold to. Help them through the process of buying, then get out of their way.” Herzog listed three components of success: technique, attitude and behavior. Of these, he said the most important is behavior. “Try to level out your ups and downs. Be consistent. Set conservative goals, but be consistent.” Herzog recalled visiting the PBPA about 12 years ago when Rockies star Todd Helton spoke. He’s always interested in guiding prospects into his training program. Info: www.firstinsales.com or 470-4224.

Cupcake eatery plays ‘war’ Those watching “Cupcake Wars” on the Food Network last week were surprised to see Fountain City business owners Nathan and Kathleen Robinson. Nathan says the episode will be aired several times within the next few weeks and Scrumps is the first local store to appear on “Cupcake Wars.” Scrumps opened for business in July 2001 and has been in Fountain City since October 2011. After building a kitchen, the Robinsons held a “grand opening” in April 2012. Nathan and Kathleen competed in the “Elvis, King of Cupcakes” episode and were the runners-up, advancing to the final round where they made 1,000 cupcakes in two hours. “Cupcake Wars” starts with four pairs of contestants. “The show paid our airfare and hotel accommodations to California,” said Nathan. “Contestants pay for their ingredients.” In the first round, the show’s producers designate

the main ingredients, this time banana and peanut butter. The Scrumps team made a banana cake with peanut butter icing and a marshmallow drizzle and filling. It was a winner, and they moved on. In the second round, contestants create flavors of their own choosing. Judging is by taste and decoration. The Scrumps team made a sweet potato casserole cupcake, a chocolate pie cupcake and a coconut mango cupcake. Success! They moved on. In the final round, each team is allowed four baking assistants and a carpenter. The challenge is to make and display 250 cupcakes each of four flavors – 1,000 total – in just two hours. Nathan and Kathleen were eliminated in this round, but said the experience was great fun and hopefully will boost their business. Scrumps is located at 106 Hotel Road in Fountain City across from the park. Info: scrumpscupcakes@gmail. com. – S. Clark

Ragnar team finishes race A team of 12 runners from Tennova Healthcare raced 198 miles from Chattanooga to Nashville the weekend of Nov. 9 to raise money for CARDIAC Kids. The team, sponsored by East Tennessee Cardiovascular Research Foundation, began the relay in Chattanooga on Friday at 8 a.m. and completed the course in 27 hours and 26 minutes. Each team member ran three times in predetermined portions of the track with each run ranging 1.8 miles to nine miles. The team raised $3,000 this year and has raised about $10,000 during the past three years. More than 240 teams participated in this year’s Ragnar Relay. The CARDIAC Kids team, led by John Ewart, executive director of Tennova Health and Fitness Center, finished first in the corporate category and 35th overall. Not only does Ragnar allow teams to fundraise for important causes, but the nature of the run promotes healthy living, a cause close to the hearts of the CARDIAC Kids team.

“We need to raise more awareness in the community about the benefits of healthy lifestyle,” said Dr. John Goodwin, team runner and physician at Turkey Creek Medical Center. “You don’t have to run 200 miles alone, but everyone needs to do a little to keep us all moving forward.” The event not only helped raise money and awareness for CARDIAC Kids, but also reminded one team member of her own journey to be able to complete such a feat. “I struggled with obesity most of my life.” said April Brooks, team runner and respiratory therapist at Tennova Healthcare’s Turkey Creek Medical Center. “I had a wakeup call after my routine blood work test generated a call from East Tennessee Cardiovascular Research Foundation to see if I would participate in a study. All my numbers were awful, and I was more than 100 pounds heavier than I am today. That was a year and a half ago. It has been a long road, but the way I feel right now, and the things I can do – like Ragnar – it’s amazing.”

News from Rural/Metro

Safe travel this holiday season By Rob Webb Over the holidays, we look forward to spending qu a l it y time with our loved ones, some of whom we may not see during the Webb rest of the year. AAA estimated that 43.6 million people traveled more than 50 miles this Thanksgiving weekend, and 90 percent did so by car. And the holiday season has just begun! As Christmas approaches, even more people will

hit the road, and with more vehicles on the highways, that unfortunately means increased risk of car accidents. More than 30 percent of these accidents are alcohol-related. If you host a gathering at your house, it is your responsibility to make sure your friends don’t leave impaired. Designate sober drivers and offer nonalcoholic beverage options. And remember: Even if you’re completely sober, that doesn’t mean the other drivers are. As you travel for the holidays, keep these safety tips in mind: ■ Get a good night’s sleep before you travel. Fa-

tigued driving is dangerous. Coffee and other caffeinated beverages are not substitutes for sleep. ■ To avoid drowsiness while driving, take a break every few hours. ■ Give yourself plenty of time to reach your destination. When planning your trip, make sure you allot time for breaks and for potential delays. ■ Over the holidays, there are more vehicles on the road. Increase the distance between you and the car in front to allow ample stopping time. ■ Pay attention while driving. Put your phone away, never text and drive,

and have a passenger operate the GPS. ■ Make sure you have plenty of fuel. Don’t cut it close or you may ﬁnd yourself on the side of the road. ■ Don’t drive late into the night. Plan your trip to arrive early or split your trip into two days. ■ And remember yearround, if you see lights, pull to the right. Always pull completely over to the right if you see the lights of an emergency vehicle. With a few safe driving tips, you can keep your family safe on the roads.

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

Avoid a diet disaster this holiday season By Beth A. Booker, Fort Sanders Regional Registered Dietitian/ Nutritionist You don’t have to pack on the pounds to enjoy holiday parties. Making healthy eating choices can help keep you slim and trim year-round. Fort Sanders Regional Registered Dietitian Beth Booker shares some strategies for having a tasty, terriﬁc holiday. ■ Plan ahead. Planning is paramount during the holiday season. You need a course of action: think about what to do when you’re offered foods you feel you shouldn’t eat; what to eat instead; and ways to enjoy the season that aren’t food-related. If you have a plan, you won’t be caught off-guard. Make your plan real. Don’t just think about it, write it down. The more concrete it is, the more likely you will stick to it. ■ Practice mindful eating. When you sit to enjoy your meal or snack (yes, sit), take a moment to look at the food on your plate. Take a deep breath. Relax. Look at the colors. Think about the textures. Is there a food on your plate that reminds you of a special time or person in your past? Spend a little time before your pick up your fork. Your hips and your digestive tract will thank you. ■ Be a picky eater. We all have foods that we love and others that we may simply eat because they are there. Save your fat/ calories/carbs – whatever you’re

watching – for your favorite foods only. Reserve your “budget” for foods that you feel you simply can’t get through the season without. Don’t feel guilty when you partake, but at the same time, don’t over indulge. Savor your favorite dessert or side dish, but not with wild abandon – portion size is crucial. If you’re going to eat something you consider “bad,” don’t berate yourself while you are eating it, or after. It was a decision, own up to it, move on. ■ Go “veg” for a day. Many

families have vegetarians or vegans in their midst these days. Chances are your hosts will have prepared a special dish or two just for them. Take advantage of the healthier fruit and vegetable-based fare (but watch out for cheesy entrees.) Why not try those veggie Buffalo wings (yes, they do exist) or “garden” breakfast patties? They are low-fat, lower in calories and delicious. While not all vegetarian dishes are necessarily lower in fat or calories, they will provide you with the extra nutrients that

other foods on the table might not contain. ■ Don’t run on empty. Whatever you do, don’t go to a party hungry and don’t “save up” for a big end-of-day meal at the family’s. Eat a mini-meal before the ofﬁce get-together or make yourself healthy snacks throughout the day over the holiday weekend at Mom’s. If you face a buffet table on an empty stomach, you’ll have little chance of avoiding a diet disaster. If you arrive overly hungry, you’re likely to appreciate everything

on the table with little regard for portion size and you won’t be very thankful for what your scale says a few days later! ■ Can I get that to go? Playing holiday host or hostess? While the guests are mingling, pack up leftovers in portable “doggie bags” for them. If you get the leftovers out of the house, you can’t overeat them again later on. ■ If you booze it, you won’t lose it. Alcohol can be very fattening. Whether you’re sipping a glass of wine or having a frosty cold beer, those empty calories are going to add up! Drinking will not quell your appetite either. In fact, it may loosen your determination and cause you to binge on foods you might never have touched sober. If you do choose to imbibe, try making some switch-offs, like having a wine spritzer instead of a whole glass of wine. ■ Avoid seconds. Take modest portions of the foods you’re interested in eating and don’t make a second trip to the buffet. If you need to hold something after you’ve enjoyed your ﬁrst helpings of holiday foods, hold a cup of tea, coffee or other nonalcoholic beverage. ■ Think of your plate as being divided into four quarters. Fill one quarter with lean protein, one quarter with something starchy, and about one half with fruits and nonstarchy vegetables. This rule works well year-round at any meal.

Stove-Top Rice Pudding Can rice pudding be both glamorous and healthy? Yes, it can. In this version, traditional rice pudding gets a boost of health from whole-grain brown rice and a lower fat content from use of evaporated skim milk instead of cream. The dose of glamour comes from the garnish of antioxidant-packed pomegranate arils and a shower of dark chocolate curls. You can have your dessert and eat it too!

Healthier holiday cooking made easy! One way to cut your calorie intake and beef up beneficial nutrients during the holiday season is to modify traditional recipes. Try to increase the nutrition available in your holiday favorites with these ideas: 1) If you’re making stuffing or dressing from scratch, replace 1/2 of the bread in the recipe with whole grain bread. Add some vegetables and a bit of softened dried fruit (apricots or apples are nice) to increase the volume of the stuffing while upping the nutritional display. 2) Make your mashed potatoes with sweet potatoes or 1/2 white and 1/2 sweet. You can

add some applesauce to the sweet potatoes to increase the sweetness and cut the calories while adding a creamy consistency. 3) Stir some wheat germ or nuts into stufﬁng or sprinkle on top of casseroles to add nutrients and crunch. 4) Add some Grape-Nuts cereal to the pecan pie topping. You can also add cranberries to a pecan pie to cut the richness and add bright color. 5) Make your beverages count by adding cloudy apple juice, pomegranate or Concord grape juice to the list of options. Add club soda to make a festive spritzer.

1 1/2 cups cooked brown Basmati rice (or other brown rice of choice) 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 can (12 ounces) fat-free evaporated milk (not condensed sweetened milk) 1/2 cup skim or low-fat milk 4 large eggs 7 tablespoons sugar 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract 1/2 cup pomegranate arils (the tiny red fruits from inside the shell) 2 tablespoons dark chocolate shavings or curls In a medium saucepan, beat eggs and 1/2 cup milk together until well combined. Add sugar and evaporated milk. Stir to blend well. Cook over low heat until mixture thickens and coats the back of a wooden spoon. Remove from stovetop and stir in nutmeg and vanilla. While pudding is cooking, heat rice in the microwave with butter until butter melts. If using freshly cooked brown rice, add butter to hot rice and let stand until melted. Stir buttered rice mixture into pudding. Let stand for 30 minutes to cool slightly. May be served warm or chilled. Garnish each serving with a few pomegranate arils and a few chocolate shavings. Serves 6-8
