The high cost of losing How much does it cost to win? Doesn’t matter. Just write a check. If you owe payments on a big ballpark, you must have people occupying seats. Pay whatever it takes to attract customers. Losing is not an acceptable alternative. It is too expensive. Can Butch Jones solve the problem? Dave Hart has bet the entire estate that he can. All Butch has to do is win.

Boy Scouts, marching bands and Santa Claus, oh my. Yes, the Halls Christmas Parade on Dec. 1 attracted a festive assemblage of participants this year as well as onlookers. Folks lined up on both sides of Maynardville Highway and stretched the entire route from Halls High School to Neal Drive. Halls Business and Professional Association president Shannon Carey said turnout for the annual event was good. “The Halls B&P continues to be pleased to sponsor this parade for the Halls community,” Carey said. “It’s my favorite event that we do each year.” The winning entry was the North Knox CTE float. Second place was a tie between the Loveland Baptist Church float and the Archer Air float.

By Betty Bean Pellissippi State Community College and Knox County Schools are moving forward with a plan to establish a Career and Technical Education (CTE) magnet high school on Pellissippi State’s Strawberry Plains campus. The collaborative effort is still in the talking stage, but Pellissippi’s vice president for academic affairs, Ted Lewis, says it makes sense for both systems. “We are in conversations right now, and it looks like the plan is to share space at first, with dedicated space to come as we continue to build out,” Lewis said. The idea of a CTE magnet germinated when superintendent Dr. Jim McIntyre included it in his strategic plan and it took root when Don Lawson, director of Knox County’s Career, Technical and Adult Education, mentioned the idea over lunch with Pellissippi State president Anthony Wise.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
“I just sort of threw it out and said, ‘What do you think of this?’ And he thought it was a great idea. It’s still in the talking stage, and would have to be approved by the school board, so we’re sort of laying out what it will be,” Lawson said. Ideally, he says the school would follow the L&N STEM school model and start with freshman admission, creating a career path. Lawson is exploring the concept of dual enrollment, but hasn’t found an exact model for what they want to do. “We want to create something special for students that would choose this path. We haven’t narrowed it down yet, but we’re impressed with Pellissippi’s willingness to work with us.” However they choose to proceed, the physical facilities are there.

Christmas with the Lions
The Fountain City Lions Club held its annual Christmas dinner last week. Attending has become as much a holiday tradition for Jenn and me as watching “It’s A Wonderful Life” and “A Charlie Brown Christmas.” As always, Kaye Galyon’s food was fabulous and, as always, her husband Gib’s jokes were somewhere below Kaye’s cooking. In all seriousness, we consider all those folks to be family and are always honored to celebrate with them. Emily Harbin played keyboard and sang Christmas carols and hymns. She is quite the talent. Emily says she has experience participating at Lions Club events. Her grandfather was the late Hack Harbin, a longtime member of the Powell Lions Club. Each year, the Fountain City Lions Club raises money to donate bicycles (and, this year, helmets) to needy children in Appalachia for Christmas through the Mission of Hope. Fred Johnson reports that the following people or groups have donated: Wanda H. and Herbert A. Bell, David W. and Mary Ann Carringer, Bevan Brown, Donald R. Loveday, Shirley Loveday and Leigh

government ‘Speak up,’ says Nownes By Sandra Clark I’ve heard worse jokes from Jay Leno. Dr. Anthony Nownes delighted the standingroom-only crowd at the Bearden Branch Library with his analysis Tony Nownes of the recent presidential election. He got a few amens with his admonition to speak up for Democratic principles. The UT political science professor started by explaining why he did not vote for Barack Obama. “To me Obama is a moderately liberal Republican.” Instead, Nownes voted for the Green Party candidate. How did the incumbent win in a time of economic challenge? “The electorate has
changed. The era of old white guys is ending. Look at two demographics: one is old, South, rich, white, men; the other is young, urban, non-white, women. One demographic is growing; one is shrinking.” Nownes said Obama had “an outstanding ground game – better than any campaign I’ve ever seen.” And it didn’t hurt that Republicans nominated so many “crazy” candidates, he said. “This is the first election I can recall when someone said ‘the rape candidate’ and you had to ask which one.” Finally, the economy is improving and people blame George W. Bush more than Obama for the mess. Nownes said state and local elections matter. He urged the Democrats from the 3rd and 4th districts to speak out. “Don’t hold your tongue; don’t be a wimp.”

Haslam to get last word on parkway project
TDOT held its hearing at South-Doyle last week on the long-delayed South Knoxville Parkway connector. The hearing was required by law even if the final decision is to kill the project. This issue has been around for more than 20 years. In fact, the bridge to South Knoxville, which was built about 25 years ago, was first programmed by TDOT to be a continuation from the Cherry Street intersection with Magnolia by extending it across the residential area of East Knoxville to the Tennessee River where a bridge would then be built. The predominantly African-American part of East Knoxville was still trying to recover from the damage brought on by the 1950’s urban renewal which built the Civic Coliseum and Auditorium and the KPD Safety Building but destroyed the historic business area of Knoxville’s black community, from which even 50 years later it has not fully recovered. Urban renewal in those days ignored neighborhood concerns and took Betty the attitude that historic Bean preservation was a nice idea for middle-aged folks with time on their hands but was have that way.

‘Ho, ho’ and all that Nick Della Volpe says he was simply trying to get Fulton High School’s state championship football team into the Christmas parade. Madeline Rogero says a city staff member had to apologize to the parade’s corporate sponsor for his rudeness. It started last Monday when Della Volpe emailed the mayor for help: “I have been receiving phone calls from upset folks in the 4th District that the WIVK parade brain trust has decided that the state champs Fulton Falcons football team can’t march in the Christmas parade because they didn’t register on time!” On Wednesday, Rogero responded: “Several city staff members spent most of yesterday addressing concerns about the parade which, in the end, was mainly about miscommunication. Your response to it made it worse. In the future, I would appreciate you using a more collaborative and respectful approach when communicating with major sponsors of city events. These relationships are delicate and extremely beneficial to the city.” Rogero said that city events director Judith Foltz “… spent an hour at WIVK personally apologizing for the tone of your phone call to Cumulus management in which you were described as abrupt, rude and a ‘bully.’ My understanding is that they were stunned that a council person would be-

thing new and in many cases just ugly. The country is still paying a high price for such short-sighted values. However, when the African-American community discovered that a Cherry Street connector was scheduled to cut the remaining part of East Knoxville in two with an interstate-type highway, the leadership got busy along with then state Rep. Pete Drew. Such a road would have been a dagger in the heart of East Knoxville. They effectively killed the location but did not stop the bridge, which was built where it is today with modest traffic counts (somewhat higher while the Henley Street bridge is closed). TDOT itself has been controversial in Knoxville, a fact which led to Phil Bredesen carrying Knox County in his 2002 election as governor over then- U.S. Rep. Van Hillary. Bredesen proceeded to remove the previous arrogance of TDOT, and Gov. Haslam has continued a more user-friendly depart-

ment with the appointment of a former Franklin mayor, John Schroer, as TDOT commissioner. In his almost two years as commissioner, Schroer has conducted summer tours of road projects across the state. While technically he will make the final decision on whether this project goes forward or dies, it is inconceivable that he would not make inquiries with the governor who was mayor of Knoxville and knows the issue first-hand prior to deciding on what to do. Ten years ago, when as mayor I advocated the creation of the Marie Myers Park in South Knoxville, many saw that as an attempt to block the South Knoxville Parkway extension. It was a lonely position I took in arguing against the high cost of the project as well as the negative environmental issues. I was also opposing the Orange Route through Hardin Valley along with a mayoral candidate, Madeline Rogero, in 2003. It is heartwarming to see the Orange Route buried and public opinion on the South Knoxville Parkway reversing from support to overwhelming opposition. Vice Mayor Nick Pavlis, along with Mayor Rogero and county Mayor Tim Burchett, has been very public
in his view that times have changed. The stellar urban wilderness moving forward in South Knoxville, which will be an economic generator, should not be jeopardized by a $100 million project which will benefit few and harm many. However, we should not forget that Chapman Highway needs upgrading once the Henley Street bridge work is completed. Pavlis deserves special credit along with both mayors for stepping forward on this issue to continue Knoxville’s effort to be a green city in a responsible way. Legacy Parks leaders Carol Evans and Brian Hann have been key spokespersons on the foolishness of this project. Times have changed, and a project that some thought made sense in the 1980s no longer makes any sense in 2012. Dwindling TDOT dollars should go to more urgent and costeffective projects in Knox County and East Tennessee. ■ Term limits for the city: Since city voters enacted term limits, not one mayor or council member has failed to win a second and final term in office. Term limits have effectively become an 8-year term for city officials as challengers wait out the incumbent knowing he/she cannot seek a third term. Whether this was intended is unknown, but it is what has happened. Only former council member Steve Hall had a close call when Ellen Adcock opposed him in 2005, but he still prevailed by less than 200 votes. Nick McBride, who has chaired the event for many years, says the party is open to any Republicans who want to attend. Tickets are $25. If you haven’t bought one yet, Nick says just show up and they’ll sell you one at the door. “It’s not really a political event,” he says. “It’s just a good time for Republicans to come together and enjoy a good dinner and conversation and to celebrate the holiday season.” Club president Ruthie Kuhlman says she is being encouraged to have karaoke for the evening’s entertainment, but isn’t sure everyone would appreciate it. If all is quiet on the western front tonight you’ll know Ruthie was right. If not, hope you have a set of earplugs handy.
MPC to meet Thursday Knoxville Knox County Metropolitan Planning Commission will meet at 1:30 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 13, in the main assembly room of the City County Building. Agenda items include election of officers for 2013 and discussion of compensation for personnel.

William Rule’s Christmas message
The Knoxville Journal building circa 1925. Toward the end of the career of its longtime editor, Capt. William Rule (1839-1928) (inset), the Knoxville Journal built this elegant early 20th century architectural gem which still stands at 618 S. Gay Street. Photos courtesy C.M. McClung Historical Collection
HISTORY AND MYSTERIES | Dr. Jim Tumblin Last month’s article on Capt. William Rule (18391928) discussed his youth and his Civil War military career. He served as adjutant and accompanied his unit, the 6th Tennessee Volunteer Infantry (USA), through four major battles and numerous skirmishes. They had traveled nearly 10,000 miles on foot or on horseback before he was mustered out of service at Nashville on April 27, 1865. The war had broadened Capt. Rule and colored his perspective on the future and his role in it. As Shelby Foote observed, “Before the war, people had a theoretical notion of having a country, but when the war was over, on both sides they knew they had a country. They’d been there. They had walked its hills and tramped its roads. They saw the country and they knew they had a country. And they knew the effort that they had expended and their dead friends had expended to preserve it. It did that. The war made their country an actuality. Before the war, it was said, ‘The United States are ...’ ... After the war, it was always, ‘The United States is ...’” Capt. Rule had worked in the newspaper business only brief ly before the war. Working under the inimitable William G. “Parson” Brownlow, who had made the Knoxville Whig a force to be reckoned with well beyond East Tennessee, convinced Rule that he wanted to make journalism his career. In 1866, Rule became city editor of the Whig. In 1870, he and Henry C. Tarwater founded a weekly paper, the Knoxville Chronicle, which later became a daily paper and was for many years the only Republican paper published south of the Ohio River. He and Henry Marfield started the Knoxville Journal in 1885. Rule became the sole owner in 1889 and merged with the Tribune in 1898 to become the Knoxville Journal and Tribune. The paper again became simply the Knoxville Journal in 1925. When Rule’s career as a newspaper editor came to an end with his death, he had served with distinction for an astounding 62 years. His inf luence in the community was enhanced by service on the Knox County Court, as postmaster and as Knoxville mayor for two terms (1873 and 1898). He was appointed a trustee of East Tennessee University (later the University of Tennessee) in 1868 and served as secretary of the board for 40 years. From 1876 to 1884, he was a member of the Republican National Committee. In 1900, he published the 590-page “Standard History of Knoxville, Tennessee,” which is such an important source of local history that it was republished in 2009 by Charles A. Reeves Jr. Rule’s thoughtful editorials are typified by his classic Christmas message printed on Dec. 25, 1926, only two years before his death. It ended with this paragraph: “What is here written may savor of a direct departure from the custom, honored in its observance, of making Christmas the happiest day in the year for children. There is no
better way of teaching, of building, of strengthening, an ever-enduring love of country than through the making of the children as happy and as contented as possible. Of all the human passions, love is the strongest and the most enduring. Love of Jesus means a love of home, a love of the house of worship, love for the book of books, love is the foundation-stone of civilization respecting citizenship, love of the glorious Stars and Stripes, bequeathed to us by our fathers who fought, bled and many of them died, in a country that stands for free schools, freedom of thought and freedom of worship of Him in whose worship is seen a combination of humanity with Divinity. We quote from Whittier, the Quaker poet: Blow, bugles of battle, the
marches of peace/East, west, north and south let the long quarrel cease/ Sing the song of great joy than angels began/Sing of story of God and of good will to man!” In Mark Twain’s memorable essay, “Journalism in Tennessee,” he describes the local newspaper’s mission thusly, “… to disseminate truth; to eradicate error, to educate, refine and elevate the tone of public morals and manners, and make all men more gentle, more virtuous, more charitable, and in all ways better and holier and happier ….” Capt. William Rule, having fulfilled those lofty goals for more than 60 years, died of acute appendicitis on Aug. 5, 1928, at age 89. At that time he was the oldest active newspaper editor in the United States.
His funeral services were conducted in his home at 1604 W. Clinch Ave. The Rev. Richard M. Mallard, pastor of First Methodist, Rule’s home church, conducted the service and the old soldier, whose birthday Knoxville considered “next to Christmas,” was buried in Old Gray Cemetery. One of the f loral tributes was from Adolph Ochs, publisher of The New York Times, who had begun his career as office boy for Capt. Rule. Another arrangement was from the local Daughters of the Confederacy Memorial Association, an organization which had never sent

ou have known the men and women of Rural/Metro Ambulance Service for more than 25 years now. That’s how long Rural/ Metro has been caring for the citizens of Knox County when they are at their most vulnerable – in an emergency. In recent weeks, Knox County has been engaged in a process to put the ambulance contract out for bid, as is required. A panel of independent experts – selected by the purchasing department and not disclosed to Rural/Metro – spent many hours evaluating the bids of three ambulance companies. Through a rigorous scoring process, the panel recommended last week that Knox County renew its contract with Rural/Metro,
The only nationally-accredited ambulance provider in the state of Tennessee.

a f loral offering to honor a Union Army veteran. One observer called him the “city’s noblest citizen.” Lucy Ann Maxey, a descendant of Landon Carter Haynes and Nathaniel Taylor, prominent upper East Tennesseans, had become William’s bride on Oct. 28, 1858. She passed away on Oct. 24, 1928, in her 91st year, less than three months after her husband’s death. During their 70 years of marriage, Lucy Ann had raised the two children who survived her, William and Lillian, and four others who predeceased her: James Frederick, Cora, Stella and Alida. She had welcomed
many famous guests into her home, which was also considered a mecca for visiting Methodist laymen and ministers. The bishop, the Rev. B.J. Cooke, called it his “home away from home.” At her passing the Knoxville Journal used a quote from the book of Proverbs to describe her: “She looked well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness. Her children arise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her. Give her the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.”
and the item is on County Commission’s agenda this month. We thought you’d be glad to know about Rural/Metro’s selection. One of Rural/Metro’s competitors has filed an appeal of that recommendation, which is within their legal rights. Unfortunately, they also are unfairly attacking the integrity of some of the selection committee members. The evaluation process used by Knox County was conducted in a thorough and professional way. We believe County Commission is not going to be swayed by these desperate tactics. We just wanted to keep you informed, and we look forward to providing the same excellent, trusted emergency service in the future.

Shopper-News Presents Miracle Makers
Acclaimed choral director reveals secret to success: work By Betty Bean Central High School’s dynamic choral director Beckye Thomas hasn’t got much time to relax during the holiday season. At 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 13, she will direct all three Central High School performing groups – the Bel Canto/Bobcat Company, the Select Choraliers and the Concert Choir – in a Christmas concert at the school auditorium. This will reprise the show her students put on at the Tennessee Theatre last week in what has become a Mighty Musical Monday annual December tradition. Mighty Wurlitzer maestro Dr. Bill Snyder says the Central High School singers performances are so popular that they now do two shows to accommodate the crowds who come to hear them. “It’s just a wonderful venue,” Thomas said. “They (her students) love it. They were glowing.” Anyone unable to attend the Christmas show can catch the Bobcat Company Sunday, Dec. 23 on WATE-TV. In the interim, the Bobcat Company will perform for Pilot Oil’s Christmas celebration at the Knoxville Convention Center and go back to the Tennessee Theatre for Regal Cinema’s party. Add those future events to the Select Choraliers performance with the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra’s Young People’s Concert in November and the Bobcat Company women’s

participation in the KSO/Appalachian Ballet’s production of the Nutcracker Suite at the Civic Coliseum the weekend before Mighty Musical Monday, and it would be easy to excuse Thomas if she happened to be a bit tuckered at this point. But she’s not. If Thomas, a relentless bundle of energy in her 28th year at Central High School (and, quite unbelievably, her 40th year with Knoxville/ Knox County Schools), is tired, she shows no sign of fatigue. She maintains that cranking out nonstop performance gems and winning awards too numerous to list requires more perspiration than inspiration, and she is always reminding her students that hard work trumps talent. She worries that the hit television show “Glee” is conveying the opposite message to young people. She hopes kids don’t look at it as “Oh, gee, look at this – within an hour we can start from nothing and put on a full-fledged production.” “This is a problem in this instant gratification Cast members Channing Murphy, Katie Davis and Kaitlyn Wat- world,” Thomas kin celebrate the Magic of Christmas during a December 2008 said. “What they production at Central High.

It’s not something at your fingertips. I tell my students that the only place I know where success comes before work is in the dictionary. I learned it from my parents and my hero, my high school band director Mr. Stanley Barnes. Along with my dance teacher growing up, they were my biggest influences in developing a strong work ethic.” One of her fondest professional memories is of a bashful student who blossomed in the chorus before he graduated in 1989: “Roger Wallace came to me his sophomore year as a hard-core baseball player. He was so shy he barely moved his mouth,” Thomas said. By his senior year, Wallace was playing the lead in Central’s Broad-
way show, and then he majored in music at the University of Tennessee and was a member of the UT Singers before heading to Austin, Texas, to seek his fortune. Thomas is proud that he was voted Most Promising Newcomer in the Austin music scene. She has one of his CDs in her office. “I always like to look here in the liner notes and see ‘Thank you to Beckye Thomas,” she said. “It’s not so much about the exceptional talent – it’s the work that gets you there.” Another document on her desk is the Bobcat Company group evaluation that scores leadership, work ethic, respect, cooperation, morale building, pride, dependability, enthusiasm, humility and desire for excellence. “Nowhere does it say ‘vocal ability,’” Thomas said.

A Church Called Home jumps hurdles to open its doors By Cindy Taylor Pastor Jason Creech says he knew in his heart that Halls was where God wanted him to plant a church. He was a youth pastor for six years before making the move to Knoxville to start A Church Called Home. “Two and a half years ago I was at a church in Cincinnati praying about whether to move there and go on staff,” said Creech. “The Lord spoke to my heart that the next step was to plant a church.” Creech said the next step was to wait for God to give him a supernatural love for a city and go there. He said that in his heart there was really only one place and that was north Knoxville. He and his wife of 16 years, Melissa, had visited Knox-
ville on retreats and Melissa had worked at Tennova North for five years. She was commuting for more than an hour each way from Bell County, Ky., at that time, so Knoxville made sense for many reasons. “We just knew this was where we needed to be,” said Creech. “We put our house on the market and it sold for the asking price.” But it wasn’t just a matter of deciding and moving. Creech joined forces with The Association of Related Churches (ARC) and had to meet certain criteria. He said there were three huge hurdles. There had to be 35 people in place and ready to serve before the church could open its doors; they found 40. Then they had to raise $80,000 so the
church could begin as a selfsupporting entity prior to launch. This fell into place as well thanks to a financial support team. The last hurdle was to pay forward to the next church plant by giving 10 percent of the church income back to ARC until they reached $30,000, and they are well on the way. A Church Called Home launched Sept. 9 at Halls Cinema with an attendance of 118.

High cost of losing How much does it cost to win? Doesn’t matter. Just write a check. If you owe payments on a big ballpark, you must have people occupying seats. Pay whatever it takes to attract customers. Losing is not an acceptable alternative. It is too expensive. Can Butch Jones solve the problem? Dave Hart has bet the entire estate that he can. All Butch has to do is win. Consider the Tennessee cost of not winning enough football games. The buyout for Phillip Fulmer was $6 million. That was to head off a decline in revenue. Alas, matters got worse. Imagine paying an executive search company for finding the likes of Lane Kiffin. Take into account the $3.6 million Tennessee used to hire Kiffin assistants. It was a world

record! OK, Lane’s daddy got more than half. Losing costs so much. Think about moving expenses for all the Derek Dooley aides. Some didn’t stay long enough to establish voting privileges. The cost of firing Dooley for failure will be a longterm burden, another $5 million plus. Should Tennessee have been patient? Of course not – unless going broke is the new goal. Wait, wait, you say, it is unfair to set the bar so high. Why should we ex-
pect a man paid millions to win games to actually win games? The Southeastern Conference is a tough place to play. Look at people in government. They keep their jobs without producing anything. Come to think of it, we don’t know if Dooley knew what he was doing and might have eventually produced a big winner. We may never know. We don’t know if Jones can work a miracle but he does have a track record. We don’t know if he can recruit against SEC competition. We know he better, starting last week. Tennessee has not yet added up all the negatives of the past four years. Empty seats were an indication of lost ticket revenue – serious money. Linked to that were sagging concession profits and a sharp fall
Angels everywhere In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town in Galilee called Nazareth, to a virgin engaged to a man who name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. And he came to her and said, “Greetings, favored one! The Lord is with you.” (Luke 1: 26-28 NRSV)
Cross Currents

abeth was past the time of child-bearing, a fact which John had the temerity to point out to the angel, a bit of sass which earned him nine months of muteness as punishment. Not long after that, the angel Gabriel appeared to Mary, announcing that she would bear a child who would be the Son of God.
Even before Gabriel showed up in Nazareth, an angel had appeared to Zechariah in the Temple in Jerusalem. That angel — who remains unnamed — informed the startled Zechariah that he and Elizabeth would have a son who was to be named John. That was a newsflash indeed, because Eliz-
She, too, raised objections to the angel’s news, questioning how that would happen, since she was a virgin. Fortunately, an angel came to counsel Joseph as well, to reassure him that his betrothed was telling him the truth about this child she was carrying. Later, there were angels
in sales of souvenirs and orange attire. You should see the racks of leftovers at Penney’s. The loss of enthusiasm meant a drop in donations. And, oh my, consider the reduced value of Tennessee football to advertisers. How would you like to be First Tennessee or Food City or Dish? Tennessee has leaked money and squandered respect. Not being relevant in the big market is so discouraging. Tennessee hasn’t been in a Southeastern Conference race since 2007. Some fans recognize the dilemma. Several prospective coaches apparently did. They used Tennessee’s interest to leverage better deals where they were. That left Hart bouncing off walls, the proverbial golf ball in a bathroom. Here, there, somewhere else. OK, I’ve been told that you can’t win ’em all, that losing on the field, in recruiting and in finding a replacement coach is part of
– hosts of them, armies of them – appearing to shepherds, reporting the news and finally, at the end of all this drama, one solitary angel who came to Joseph in Egypt, reassuring him that the danger had passed and he and his little family could return to Nazareth. These are the angel stories we hear during Advent and Christmas. But there are many others. Angels appear throughout the biblical story, from Genesis to Revelation, with varied assignments. Angels stood guard at the entrance to Eden. Angels carried messages from heaven to humans. Angels rolled a stone away from the door of a tomb. Angels do battle. Angels lead
Former Cincinnati head coach Butch Jones, shown here Dec. 1 during the second half of Cincinnati’s game against Connecticut at Rentschler Field in East Hartford, Conn., has been hired to replace Derek Dooley as Tennessee’s new football coach. AP Photo/Jessica Hill the game. College football runs in cycles and the secret is to not stay down any longer than the minimum time it takes to get up. Tennessee has had some grand and glorious runs. It has a rich history in football. It has been semi-serious since 1892. Despite recent struggles, it remains top 10 all-time in total victories.
Never, in comparison with rivals, has Tennessee been as low as it is. When you are 41-18 behind Vanderbilt, it is way past time to take remedial action. The ball is in your court, Butch. We cannot afford more losing. Change directions. Pay off old debts. Hurry.
worship in heaven. And in Revelation, an angel was given guardianship over each of the seven churches. Angels were busy creatures. So, here is my question. Where are they today? Have you seen an angel lately? Me neither. Well, there was the angel in my neighborhood who drove his white pickup truck and kept watch over the body of my Jordan’s dog, Cooper, who had been hit by a car. And there is my angel Tom who brings bags of paperback books to the Refuge about twice a month, so our neighbors have good reading material. And there is my angel Pat who works miracles of organi-
zation in the Refuge closet. And there are all the volunteer angels who come their one day every week, faithfully, patiently seeking to help, to encourage, to challenge, to care. And there is my angel David at the Greyhound station who always has a kind word for the stranded traveler I am trying to help. And there are about 140 angels who sing with me in the Knoxville Choral Society, who bring joy and wonder to my heart every single time we make music together. And there are friends and family, literally the world over, whose hearts beat in unison with mine. Where are your angels?

Optimist Club holds Fountain City parade By Cindy Taylor It was a cold start but turned balmy Dec. 1 as the Knoxville Optimist Club kicked off the season with the annual Fountain City Christmas Parade. The parade entry fee was the purchase price of a box of Knoxville Boy Scout Troop 13 members Ryan Chagno and Jon- cheese. Parade organizers athan Redington “floating” in their tent. Bill Stone and Bill Gentry look forward to the parade each year. “We’re heading toward 40 years of sponsoring the parade,” said Gentry. “All the money goes to fund our youth programs.” Local school bands made the trek down Broadway along with Elvis and jolly old St. Nick (Joseph Moore).

Central ‘lifesavers’ honored
By Sandra Clark
The Knox County school board honored the coach and three members of the Central High School boys basketball team last week for their heroic efforts to save the life of a teammate. On Oct. 1, student Hunter Helton experienced a sudden cardiac arrest
during basketball conditioning exercise. According to superintendent Dr. Jim McIntyre, “the immediate and skilled response” of coach Jon Higgins and students Chandler England, Ryan Haaland and Marcelus Roberts is credited with saving Hunter’s life. Higgins, assisted by the students,
performed CPR and used an automated external defibrillator to restart Hunter’s heart. Project ADAM Tennessee, a program of East Tennessee Children’s Hospital, also was recognized. The program has placed 14 defibrillators in area schools.

The Rural/Metro conundrum On what basis does a community decide to award a long-term contract for vital emergency services? Here’s a first. I don’t know. But I do know the current process for selecting the ambulance service provider is flawed. Ten years ago Susan Brown and Russ Jensen were the faces of Rural/ Metro. Today Rob Webb and Johnny Mills are. The only constant is Moxley Carmichael as the company’s strategist and public relations advocate. Ten years ago then-county executive Tom Schumpert and his team wanted to flip the contract to American Medical Response. AMR “won” at every level of the county’s Request for Proposals and appeals. But Knox County Commission asserted its prerogative to pick the contractor. Led by then-commissioner John Mills, the contract went to Rural/Metro. And, following term limits, so did Mills. This time the situation is reversed. Rural/Metro was selected over AMR and a third vendor, Falck. This time AMR, through its PR advocate Mike Cohen, has appealed. Late Friday came the word that the appeal was denied by Hugh Holt, director of purchasing. Now it goes to the new finance director, Chris Caldwell, and then on to Mayor Tim Burchett. Know this. Holt and Caldwell work at the pleasure of Burchett.

Terri Gilbert will manage the expanded store. A Halls resident, she has previously managed the Food City on Merchant Road and was recently named one of the top 100 women in the grocery industry by a national organization. “We will have everything,” said Gilbert, listing a drive-through pharmacy, an in-store bank, Gas ‘N’ Go with five pumps including diesel fuel, salad bar, sushi bar, pizza station, and an expanded produce department which will include organics. A full-service meat and seafood department will offer hand-cut steaks and fresh seafood. Dean Rice represented mayor Tim Burchett at the event. Commissioners R.

Tennova dedicates Real estate data strong stained glass window News from Office of Register of Deeds
By Sherry Witt
Preliminary analysis of the November data indicates a very encouraging month for local real estate markets. There were 707 Witt property transfers in November, 123 more than those recorded in November 2011. The numbers also compare very favorably to those from October, which is historically a much busier month for real estate transactions. The total value of land sold in November was a robust $145 million. Not only did that surpass the October sales, but it also bested last November by more than $40 million. History has shown November to be one of the slowest times of year for recordings in the Register’s office, adding further evidence that signs of recovery could
be genuine. The month was also a strong one for the lending markets. November produced approximately $364 million in mortgages and refinancing, compared to $336 million in October. Last November, just $274 million was loaned against real property in Knox County. The largest property transfers of the month were both foreclosure sales. One involved property in The Market Place complex on Kingston Pike. The parcel sold for just under $5 million. The other was for a development known as The Cottages at Pryse Farm located off McFee Road in deep West Knox County. That property sold for approximately $4.5 million. On behalf of all the staff here at the Register of Deeds office, I would like to wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas and a healthy and prosperous New Year.

Voice of the community. y
The gathering was somber last week as a stained glass window from the chapel at the old Baptist Hospital was dedicated and put on permanent display in the lobby of the Ancillary Cancer Center on the Tennova campus off Emory Road.
Sandra Clark Mildred Cockrum, the widow of Howard Blanc Cockrum, and her son, Roy, represented the family of Henry D. Blanc, a founder of Baptist Hospital and longtime chair of its board. The glass was dedicated in his memory. Chaplains Daniel Hix and Gail Williams led the Dec. 5 service. “What a testament to healing hands touching the lives of people 24 hours a day, seven days a week,” said Williams. “We at Tennova Healthcare never want to miss an opportunity to help others, and this window reflects our dedication to the patients and families we serve in our hospitals.” The window is one of the six original stained glass windows installed in the GravesWyatt Chapel at Baptist Hospital in 1962. The windows were carefully removed and preserved in storage when Baptist was closed in 2008. Hix related a story afterwards: “After the windows were pulled out, we had a huge hailstorm with significant damage. It broke out the windows we had installed as replacements.” A grant from the Mercy Foundation brought back the windows. The first was installed in 2011 at Tennova South. In July, two were installed at Turkey Creek Medical Center and one was installed at Newport Medical Center in August. Plans are underway to install the final window at Physicians Regional Medical Center by year’s end. According to a press statement, “The windows are beautifully crafted, showing different Bible scenes that are meant to inspire many generations to come at Tennova locations throughout the region. The window at North Knoxville Medical Center represents Luke 13:12, a beautiful stained glass display of Jesus healing a woman on the Sabbath.” The artisans at Willet Stained Glass Studios in Philadelphia designed and built the six original windows. Willet has works on display at the National Cathedral in Washington. The windows were a gift from the Baptist Auxiliary Pink Ladies and from sev-

Go Tankless!
Water Heating so Advanced…it’s Simple Modern’s Millie Modern Supply's design consultant + remodeling expert
Navien tankless installations by Brogdon Plumbing
It’s time for a little Reindeer Juice! Ahhh…the holidays! I love this time of year with all the fab decorations, excited kids, shopping galore and parties. Even the smells are delightful with lots of baking, fresh greenery and holiday candles. It’s a wonderful time of year! Being the hostess with the mostest is sooo me! I love planning menus, creating snazzy table settings and trying new recipes. Especially if they’re super easy! Here’s one of my fave beverages. Reindeer Juice fills the house with warm, yummy smells. This recipe can be made as a family or adult beverage. Just no drivin’ the sleigh after a little holiday cheer!
Reindeer Juice I like to make in a large slowcooker and let simmer. • 1 gallon apple cider • 3 fresh oranges, sliced • 1 small pack Kool-Aid unsweetened lemonade • 5 whole cloves • 8 whole allspice • 3 cinnamon sticks • ½ stick butter • ¼ cup brown sugar
for the adult version, add: • 1 fifth spiced rum • 4 oz. brandy So, get your ho, ho, ho on and have a safe and wonderful holiday.
Murphy’s law will prevail and your water heater will die at the most inconvenient time. Like when the weather’s frigid and you’re in the shower! Water heating is the second largest energy user in the home after heating and cooling. Perhaps it’s time to explore energy-efficient tankless technology. Tankless water heaters provide an endless source of hot water and can cut energy costs up to 30 percent per year if usage remains consistent. Traditional tanks can develop rust and scale build-ups. A tankless unit does not store water so you’ll have fresher, cleaner water. They’re wall mounted and require less space too. Here are a couple of key factors to ensure your tankless water heater happiness!
•
Choose a plumber that can size the unit to fit your water usage. Things to consider include the output (gallons per minute) of shower heads and appliances that may be running simultaneously. Correct sizing is key! • A tankless unit provides endless hot water while reducing energy costs. However, families often extend their shower time which defeats the energysaving goal. Word of warning for families with teenage daughters! The plumbing pros at Modern Supply are frequently asked about tankless water heaters and recommend the Navien line for natural or LP gas use. Navien’s

new NPE Premium Condensing units are more efficient than noncondensing brands. Installation has been simplified by Navien’s ability to use one-half inch existing gas lines. This makes it an ideal choice for tank replacement. Without getting too techy, here’s how the Naviens work. Condensation is created inside of the condensing heat exchanger from incoming cold water cooling the hot gases inside the unit. The stainless steel condensing heat exchanger then traps the condensation and uses the heat that would be lost in a non-condensing unit. This results in a 98 percent heating efficiency. Two stainless steel heat exchangers provide longer life expectancy
and are highly hl resistant sis ista tant nt tto o corrosion compared to copper heat exchangers. The heat exchangers carry a 15 year warranty. Navien’s ComfortFlow technology eliminates “coldwater sandwiches” and issues of minimum flow rate. An insulated buffer tank and recirculation pump accelerates hot water delivery.

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER
Surviving stroke Get to a Primary Stroke Center fast On the morning of November 1, Bruce Luttrell of Fountain City, 68, woke up and knew there was something very wrong with his health. “I started shaking violently and I couldn’t stop,” he says. The shaking stopped but then he felt nauseous. “I went into the bathroom. I was going to sit down, but instead I just sat down in the floor. “At that point I could hear and understand, but I couldn’t respond,” he says. Suspecting a stroke, Bruce’s wife, Jeane, called 911. “We have two children in the medical profession. We had discussed the quality of stroke care at Fort Sanders, and they told us that if we ever had issues, that’s where you want to go. So when the paramedics asked us where we wanted to go, I said Fort Sanders.” Fort Sanders is a Stroke Center of Excellence and one of the few hospitals in the region to offer neurointerventional radiologists trained in the latest stroke treatment technologies. Dr. Eric M. Nyberg diagnosed a blocked blood vessel in Bruce’s brain and talked to Jeane Luttrell about what could be done to open it. “He said, ‘Mrs. Luttrell, I think I can get that (clot). Do you want me to try?’ At that point Bruce couldn’t speak. Dr. Nyberg said, ‘I think I can get his speech back, but of course there’s a risk.’ I said, ‘Do whatever you can.’ ” After the procedure, Jeane Lu-

The patient, Bruce Luttrell of Fountain City, 68, had a blood vessel blockage in his brain. Called an “ischemic stroke,” it can cause loss of speech, memory problems, paralysis and other problems, depending on where it is in the brain. “I knew I had to act expeditiously,” says Dr. Nyberg. “Every patient is different, but time is brain for stroke patients.” On average, the brain loses 1.9 million neurons each minute during a stroke, Dr. Nyberg says. Restoring blood flow quickly is crucial for survival and recovery. “I finished up the aneurysm and

Recognize the signs of a stroke FAST! The early symptoms of stroke are often overlooked or ignored. If you suspect that you or a loved one is having a stroke, think FAST: F – FACE: Look at your face. Is one side sagging? A – ARMS: Hold out your arms. Is one arm lower than the other or harder to hold in place? S – SPEECH: Is your speech slurred or garbled? T – TIME: Time is critical when trying to minimize the effects of stroke. Call 911 and get to a hospital as quickly as possible. And be sure your hospital is a strokeready, Primary Stroke Center, like Fort Sanders Regional.
further and some clot-busting medicine to clean out the additional clot that had started to form. After several minutes, the blood vessel finally stayed open. “So at that point we were done with the intervention part,” he says. “But it was still pretty dicey because he required tight blood pressure control and had a lot of blood thinners on board. The next 24 to 48 hours were critical.” Luttrell’s speech returned shortly after the procedure and he is now back at home. But, according to Dr. Nyberg, he wouldn’t be there without the stroke treatment technology used at Fort Sanders. “There are very few facilities prepared to aggressively treat acute
ischemic stroke,” he explains. “We have ER doctors and neurologists trained to recognize and treat stroke, plus robots which allow stroke experts to examine patients over the internet. We also have advanced neuroimaging to evaluate the brain’s blood supply and use all the latest stroke devices. Additionally, we’re part of two national stroke trials to evaluate the efficacy of stroke intervention and devices.” “Go to Fort Sanders,” says Dr. Nyberg. “Because if you have a stroke, that’s where you need to be.” For more information about the Stroke Center at Fort Sanders Regional, call 673-FORT (3678) or go to fsregional.com.
