Pennington treats kids

IN THIS ISSUE

Coffee Break

Longtime Shopper-News columnist Dr. Jim Tumblin received the 2012 Knox Heritage Media Award for his long-running monthly column, History and Mysteries.

We are quite proud of Dr. Jim and thought you needed to get better acquainted with him over this week’s Coffee Break.

Miracle Maker When most parents think about the Parent Teacher Association, they envision the handful of women who work the equivalent of a full-time job to raise money for smart boards and playground equipment. But when members from each of the county’s PTA-affiliated schools come together, even bigger things happen.

Church holds Christmas bazaar

By Jake Mabe The old cliché about education – “It’s all about the kids” – was spot-on during Dr. Jim McIntyre’s community forum at Brickey-McCloud Elementary School last Thursday night.

It was a beautiful day for Christmas shopping, especially if you were already at Knoxville Center Mall.

You could purchase special or handmade gift items just by hopping over to City on a Hill Church on the back side of the mall to take advantage of the church’s first bazaar.

ond slate of nominees, the board is authorized to make up a third list, with the top candidate getting the appointment if the mayor again fails to act.

Earlier this year, HPUD’s Board of Commissioners and county mayor Tim Burchett were locked into a high-profile war of wills over a scheduled appointment. The commissioners’ preference was to reappoint longtime chair Jim Hill. Burchett was not inclined to cooperate, and ended

up appointing Sheriff’s Office employee Todd Cook instead.

Dunn says he is working with a staff attorney to simplify and speed the process. The best option they’ve found is to introduce the threat of handing over the decision to County Commission. The bill would apply statewide.

“The idea is that both the utility district and the mayor would want to come to an agreement before it got to that point,” Dunn said.

Kim Greene comes home Homecomings and Christmastime are sometimes synonymous.

Jake Mabe MY TWO CENTS So, the Halls B&P welcomed back Halls native and TVA executive vice president and chief generation officer Kim Greene to speak at its annual Christmas Banquet at Beaver Brook on Dec. 7.

Greene said she grew up in Fountaincrest subdivision, nearly a stone’s throw from the country club, and joked that the reason she made the cheer team at Halls High School was because, “I had a big mouth! You didn’t have to do all the stuff cheerleaders have to do today.”

Her father worked for TVA when she was a kid, and

Greene says her family spent a lot of vacations on Norris Lake.

After earning a bachelor’s degree in engineering science and mechanics from UT, Greene earned two master’s degrees, one at the University of Alabama at Birmingham and another at Samford University, also in Birmingham.

She was working for Southern Company as its senior vice president for finance when she received a phone call in 2007 that she says changed her life, one that led to a special homecoming.

“It was the CEO of TVA. He needed a chief financial officer. And then he said, ‘Have you ever been to Knoxville (and) do you know where our offices are’?’”

“For me, coming home to Knoxville has meant a tremendous amount. Those of you who have lived somewhere else will echo that Knoxville is an incredible place to live. And professionally I feel like I’m part of

something everybody needs.”

Greene says that the traditional mind-set in her industry was that power companies didn’t want customers to think about its product. That has changed.

“Now, we do want you to think about electricity and be

wiser about your use of it.”

Greene says that TVA provides simple tips on making your home or business more energy efficient at the website energyright.com. She encourages everyone to sign up for an in-home energy audit.

“Go see how you can do some simple things to help you save money.”

She said that when it is in use, a digital picture frame, for example, uses as much electricity as a small refrigerator. She also said that plasma-screen TVs use almost as much electricity when turned off as when they are in use.

Greene also says that she knows that during difficult times some folks make decisions on whether to pay their utility bills or buy medicine and food.

“So I try to make sure that the decisions I make are in their best interest.”

No stranger to homecomings, Greene says coming back to Halls this Christmas season was a special treat.

“I won’t wait so long before I come back and visit.”

These desserts were made by Halls Middle School teachers and staff for the school’s second annual bake-off, which was held last Wednesday.

Halls Middle staff holds annual cook-off

My friend David Hunter says that writers never turn down free food or desserts.

It’s a perk of the job.

So, when longtime Halls resident and Halls Middle School teaching assistant Kathy Bright asked if I’d help judge the school’s second annual bake-off, I didn’t hesitate, especially since I had to miss the inaugural event last year.

You’ve never seen such a spread. Gingersnap cookies, New York-style cheesecake, red velvet cake and

the most delicious peanut butter concoction I’ve ever eaten. That little slice of heaven, Black Bottom Peanut Butter Pie, was made by 6th-grade special ed teacher Traci Fields. It won first place.

“Everybody seems to like (participating) in the bake-off,” Bright says. “We also do a chili cook-off in the wintertime.”

Chili cook-off, huh? They, uh, (cough) won’t have to look far to find a ready, willing and able judge.

high school courses, and the school system might explore offering them to upper elementary grades as well.

Asked about the possibility of a longer school day, McIntyre said the school calendar is set for two years but the school board will soon begin discussing what future calendar years might look like.

“Five states are adding 300 hours to the school year, and a few schools in Tennessee are going to participate to see if it makes a difference in student learning,” McIntyre said. “How we utilize our time best is important (to) squeeze as much time as possible in the school day for learning.”

He said a longer school day would also allow more opportunities for extended learning, tutoring or afterschool enrichment.

One child asked when every student would receive an iPad. McIntyre says technology can allow teachers to do even more creative and innovative things in the classroom as well as help structure class activities based on individual student needs.

“We’ll continue to talk to the folks on County Commission and the mayor and help us identify funding (for technology).”

McIntyre said he believes publishers will stop printing textbooks in favor of an electronic textbook within the next five to seven years, “by the time many of you (students) are in high school.”

Brickey-McCloud 5th-

From page A-1 grade teacher Jilynn Parmly said she comes from a family of teachers who “compare school districts” when together at Thanksgiving.

“The biggest disparity I see is in technology. A school district in South Carolina about the size of Knox County Schools (will use) ereaders next year. There was a lot of negative feeling in the community about technology (during last spring’s school budget discussion). What can we do as teachers?”

“To the extent you feel comfortable, communicate that,” McIntyre said. “Convince folks it’s not a toy, it’s a tool.

“Your voice in that conversation probably carries more

weight than mine does.”

McIntyre said technology costs would include building the infrastructure to support it, purchasing devices such as e-readers and offering both technical support as well as effective professional development “so that teachers know how to use (the technology) creatively and effectively.”

Knox County Council PTA president Sandra Rowcliffe encouraged those of voting age to support pro-education candidates and to attend school budget meetings next year.

“Your county PTA is determined to fully fund education in this county. We won’t rest until it happens.”

government Haslam is fundraising, Alexander close behind Mayor Madeline Rogero was at her best last week when she spoke against the extension of the South Knoxville Parkway. She was firm, direct and right on. She wants a green city and knows this proposal was anti-green from its inception by extending a roadway over fragile lands and a growing park system which is important to South Knoxville’s new awareness and progress.

Vice Mayor Nick Palvis, who represents South Knoxville, has been strong in promoting the new South Knoxville to his great credit.

■ Gov. Bill Haslam was strong and made us proud last week as well when he defended the hiring of Samar Ali, whose only problem seems to be she is a Muslim, has been attacked viciously by some who are intolerant of other religions.

Ali grew up in Humphreys County in Middle Tennessee. She was a 4H leader in high school and president of the student body at Vanderbilt.

She is now an attorney who works in the Department of Economic and Community Development.

Haslam pointed out to a questioner who accused the Governor of hiring a “Shariah compliance” expert that Ali “is as Tennessee as they come.”

We should remember that this nation was founded by many who sought religious freedom and fled European nations which did not allow more than one religion to be practiced.

■ While the 2014 election is two years off, mailers have gone out for a Jan. 7 fundraiser at Scripps Networks Interactive offices on Sherrill Boulevard in West Knoxville for a $1,000-aperson fundraiser for Gov. Haslam, who is not expected to have a serious opponent based on his successful first two years in office.

It is hard to imagine that he will face significant Republican or Democratic opposition.

Expect to receive invitations from Sen. Alexander’s campaign as well.

Alexander also has no announced opponents and, with the public support of the entire Tennessee GOP Congressional delegation (minus scandal-plagued Rep. Scott DesJarlais), is not expected to face major opposition.

Victor Ashe

■ Rep. Jimmy Duncan is Alexander’s campaign chair. Any who think Alexander will take his reelection for granted should think again. Alexander is one of the most competitive and well-organized public officials I have ever known. We first met in 1966 when we both worked in the Howard Baker for U.S. Senate campaign.

Alexander will leave no stone unturned in his quest for a 3rd term.

■ Gov. Haslam’s decision for Tennessee not to run its own health insurance exchange is further evidence of the Obama Administration’s failure to get its act together in a way which can be persuasive to a practical CEO-type governor like Haslam.

Haslam was one of a handful of Republican governors who was willing to work to implement the plan if it made sense.

The fact that the draft regulations exceeded 800 pages and were still a draft, plus a goal line which kept moving, was a strong argument to avoid this changing plan until one actually knew what it involved.

The bottom line is that Haslam was not persuaded that the plan was good for Tennessee.

At this point in time, Haslam clearly made the right decision. Perhaps the day will come when the Obama Administration will have a plan which makes sense for states to implement, but that day is apparently a long ways off.

■ Next week, a report on my week long trip to Myanmar (Burma).

■ For those of you who recall our son, J Victor, being born during my first term as mayor in 1990, an update on him 22 years later is that he graduated from Purdue University yesterday, Sunday, Dec. 16, with a major in computer science and starts to work in February for Booz Allen outside Washington, D.C. Time flies and his parents are very proud of him.

Our daughter, Martha, 20, is a sophomore at the University of Richmond.

Tindell prosecution: selective justice?

In 2009, the politically active Troy Whiteside walked into an East Knoxville establishment and ran into an old foe.

Minutes later out in the parking lot, witnesses saw Whiteside astride a prone Stacey Sudderth, emptying a Glock 19 clip into his back as he lay face down on the asphalt.

Whiteside claimed selfdefense.

Whiteside was arraigned and charged with seconddegree murder. Attorney General Randy Nichols recused himself because of his personal relationship with the defendant.

Attorney General Berkeley Bell came in from Greeneville, took over the case and upped the charge to murder one.

Whiteside’s trial date has been repeatedly postponed.

There’s an ancient maxim about mills of justice grinding slowly, but exceeding fine. The first clause is undeniably true in Knox County. The second is subject to question.

In 2006, outgoing Republican Party chair Chad Tindell discovered that an employee of county Mayor Mike Ragsdale had gotten into his private email account and was spreading around his personal emails.

He made a lot of noise about

Betty Bean it and asked Attorney General Randy Nichols to prosecute. Nichols declined, telling a reporter “it’s just a bunch of Republicans fighting among themselves.”

In 2007, a routine county audit exposed trouble in then-Trustee Mike Lowe’s office. Local media feasted on stories about phantom employees, five-figure overpayments and questionable purchases.

Lowe and four others were indicted recently and still have not come to trial.

In 2008, another audit exposed some $130,000 misuse of county purchasing cards by members of Mayor Mike Ragsdale’s administration. Local media cranked out stories about fancy wining and dining, togo smoothies and expensive hotels.

Yet only one person was prosecuted, Cynthia Finch, who was convicted in 2011 of forging receipts.

Three other employees, two of whom were, like Finch, African-American women, lost their jobs.

When he sentenced Finch to unsupervised probation,

Judge Jon Kerry Blackwood said the prosecution “was not fair.”

In March 2011, the prescription drug-addicted Judge Richard Baumgartner pleaded guilty to one count of official misconduct, agreed to retire from the bench and was allowed to keep his pension.

A year later, federal prosecutors stepped in, and within months Baumgartner was found guilty of a felony. Now he faces possible prison time, hefty fines and the loss of his pension.

Last week, a yearlong scandal in Trustee John J. Duncan III’s office burped up two guilty pleas to facilitation of a felony, a Class A misdemeanor.

Delinquent Tax Attorney Chad Tindell and Chief of Staff Josh Burnett resigned and will get 11-month, 29day suspended sentences.

Duncan has admitted giving himself and four employees bonuses for County Technical Assistance Service courses they never completed.

Details are murky, but Tindell, who did not receive the CTAS bonus, is in trouble for authoring the trustee’s salary suit, an arcane document state law requires county fee officers to submit annually in order to receive operating funds.

Chad Tindell These “friendly” lawsuits go to the law director and the finance director before being approved by the mayor.

It’s hard to understand Randy Nichols’ selective prosecutions.

Why were Ragsdale and his top aides allowed to repay the money they had misappropriated with no criminal charges?

Will Troy Whiteside ever face a jury?

Why did it take federal prosecution to obtain justice in the Baumgartner case?

And it’s hard to see Chad Tindell, whose beefed-up delinquent tax collection efforts resulted in an unexpected windfall for the county this year, as anything more than grist for the mill.

Goforth moves on, thankless My dad used to say a man shouldn’t have to preach his own funeral. Sitting through Thursday’s meeting of the Union County Board of Education, I finally understood what he meant.

Embattled Director of Schools D. Wayne Goforth said he will “move on” when his contract expires on June 30, 2013. His statement cleared the way to start a search for his replacement, and it kept board members from having to vote on his tenure. You would have thought one of the seven members might have found something to say.

“Thanks,” would have worked.

Goforth distributed a four-page list of achievements that he said he and the board, working together, had achieved during his four years. “I hope things go well for Union County Schools,” he said.

Stone-faced, the board moved to the next item.

Wayne Goforth is not some guy we brought in from someplace else. He’s one of us, born and raised in East Tennessee. His parents were well-known in Baptist circles. Wayne and his brothers sang gospel music. He’s worked for Union County Schools for

Sandra Clark

30 years. And he deserves a thank-you for his efforts.

In a county where local funds for education are scarce, Goforth found federal grants, state grants and private money for initiatives. He’s got enough computers to have all the county’s kids take statewide tests online in 2014, and few systems can claim that.

He even got fiber cables installed to each school, owned by the school system. His only concern, as he told board members last week, is that the meter boxes at the middle school and Maynardville Elementary might not be big enough to power up all the computers at once.

But that won’t be Wayne Goforth’s problem as he “moves on” next July.

He told me awhile back that his wife just won’t let him leave Union County.

Tater Valley is home. And there’s that nifty grandchild that he dotes on, living just

over the ridge in Fountain City.

So I guess we can create two want ads for upcoming editions: The first: “Wanted – job for not-quite-over-the-hill educator; aggressive, visionary, able to feed a multitude with loaves and fishes.

The second: “Help wanted – director of schools for rural county, not noted for local tax support. The successful candidate should be aggressive (but not step on toes), visionary (but not offensive to traditionalists) and able to feed a multitude with loaves and fishes (but not by juggling funds).

Of note to Knox County readers, Goforth built Paulette Elementary for $6.8 million with a Knoxville architect and contractor. It meets state specs and may even win an award.

He jumped on a state law allowing a local school district to create a virtual academy. His deal with Virginia-based K12 made Union County Schools the first and only school system to produce its own revenue – $400,000 this year alone.

Parents mobbed Thursday’s meeting to complain about losing their school nurses. It was a program Goforth had worked out

D. Wayne Goforth with a private vendor that billed insurance rather than the school district to cover its costs.

Goforth said he will pay the LPNs for at least a week with money budgeted for substitute teachers while he works to find another vendor.

Knox County doesn’t have a nurse in every school, and I’ll bet few counties do.

Doggone that Goforth.

He ran too far ahead of the pack – an incredibly vulnerable position – and the pack overtook him.

His salary for all of this grief is $86,000 a year with no “buy-out bonus.” There are classroom teachers in other systems making more.

So we’ll say it.

“Thanks, Wayne.”

The Rose Hill ‘death’ curve MALCOLM’S CORNER | Malcolm Shell Today, the almost 90-degree curve located a few hundred yards west of the entrance to Fox Den Village on Kingston Pike is guarded by a traffic signal and a caution light, which gives it a benign appearance and masks its past history.

But 60 years ago, the locals called it the “death curve.” I am not sure how the curve came to be called Rose Hill, but the most plausible suggestion is that it was named after an infamous roadhouse located on the north side of the Pike almost in the center of the curve. The only remaining evidence of that structure today

is a small, partially paved parking area that was located in front of the building.

The curve became famous to the locals for two reasons: the perils it created for truckers and the infamous nature of the roadhouse.

Before construction of I-40/75, Highways 11 and 70 were the main east-west and north-south routes in the area, which brought Rose Hill curve into play. For truckers heading east, the curve gave little warning of its severity, and they frequently ran off an embankment some 15 feet deep on the south side of the highway.

One of my high school classmates, Jane Walker Black, lived on her family’s farm where Wentworth Town Homes is now located. Jane recalls that it was not unusual to be awakened at night by a large crash, which she immediately recognized as another trucker who had failed to make the turn. As Jane recalls, this happened with considerable frequency and often resulted in serious injury to the trucker.

For young teenagers, the curve represented a different challenge: to see who could go around it at the highest speed. I am not sure who held the record, but as far as I can remember, no one in our gang ever crashed. The fastest speed anyone achieved was just more than 60 miles per hour headed east and slightly lower going west. Of course, the trials had to be done at night to see the lights of oncoming traffic.

As for the roadhouse, it was one of the most popular places around for certain types of patrons who were all too tough

Carter Nisley dreams of running Little Carter Nisley, 6, has been setting some records that make us proud.

Photo submitted

for a bunch of teenagers. Shootings were quite common, and in fact occurred on a weekly basis.

Most law enforcement avoided the joint because it was a place where you could easily walk in and be carried out. In fact, I always drove by it as quickly as possible to avoid becoming the victim of a stray bullet.

On one particular occasion, one of our local law enforcement officers, deputy Clarence Hobbs, was called to investigate a reported shooting. Deputy Hobbs was a World War I veteran and was not known to be fearful of anyone. But on that evening he entered the road house to arrest the shooter and ended up being shot.

The shooter left Rose Hill and went to another road house, the Sandstone, located about a mile further west at Dixie-Lee Junction. Deputy Hobbs survived the shooting, and the shooter was arrested later that evening by his cousin Clemmy Hobbs, who was also a county deputy.

If truckers were the main victims of the eastbound curve, the westbound traffic was subjected to an even greater risk. Most of the patrons who left the roadhouse were extremely intoxicated and often backed out of the narrow parking lot onto the highway without looking for oncoming vehicles. The result was that some unsuspecting motorists became victims of the roadhouse without ever entering the place.

I am not sure when Rose Hill closed, because I left the area to enter the service shortly after graduating from high school.

Roadhouses were common on U.S. highways during the late ’40s and early ’50s and many had the reputation of being a dangerous place to hang out.

But Rose Hill was the worst of the worst. Even today it is impossible for me to drive past the location without remembering the many accidents and tragedies that occurred there some 60 years ago.

The Knox County Council PTA

Working for equity in schools

But when members from each of the county’s PTA-affiliated schools come together, even bigger things happen.

The Knox County Council PTA (KCCPTA) provides service to students through the Knox County Schools/PTA Clothing Center and scholarships for graduating seniors. It serves teachers through the Knox County Schools/ PTA Teacher Supply Depot. It provides leadership training and educational opportunities for members, and conducts community service projects, like the upcoming Jason Jablonski Memorial Project Heart Cart.

thing better than anybody else’s kids when it comes to education, she says, and the KCCPTA works to make that ideal a reality.

Superintendent Dr. Jim McIntyre appreciates the organization’s leadership, since he’s a parent and a cardcarrying member of the PTA. He also calls the KCCPTA “an excellent partner.” The organization is important because it helps engage families in the education process and focuses communication on what schools are trying to accomplish educationally, he says.

A-8 • DECEMBER 17, 2012 • HALLS/FOUNTAIN CITY SHOPPER-NEWS That is impressive. It would have been more meaningful if he had brought back Tee Martin. I sure hope Butch never has to change seven assistants at one time.

In trying to decide how slick a salesman Butch really is, I listened carefully to what was said about in-state prospects and top priorities.

I think I heard “We will own our state.”

That is something like “building a fence” on both sides from Bristol to Memphis. I have heard that before. I have never seen it.

I join Dave Hart in wishing Butch the very best.

Hart’s wishes may be even more fervent than mine.

The athletic director and the coach are linked at the hip.

This was Hart’s call.

There are no consultants to blame. There was no search committee. There might should have been. There were several swings and misses.

Time was not a factor.

Hart had half a season for a head start. He guessed wrong on RSVPs. I don’t know but I’ve been told that people of influence (including Peyton Manning and Kenny Chesney) believed they could deliver Jon Gruden. No, thank you.

Hart did not need help and he did not want to relinquish authority, and what’s more, Gruden was a bad idea, a misfit for college football.

So, how about Jimbo Fisher? Or the original

Stoops? Do you think Mike Gundy used Hart for leverage? Larry Fedora just wasn’t moving after only one year. Bo Pelini? Probably not. Charlie Strong was a done deal. All that remained was picking the press conference hour. Was Jimmy Cheek a helpful wrap? Hart was shocked by this turndown.

Butch Jones was there all the time, rejecting offers left and right, waiting patiently for his dream to come true. What a story!

What an ending! *The original “Comedy of Errors” was one of William Shakespeare’s earliest plays. It was a farce with significant humor coming from mistaken identity.

“To hold fast.” Well, that is good news indeed! If Cross God’s intent is to bring us Currents home and hold us fast – to Lynn gather us – then all is well.

However, and this is a Hutton huge however! Sometimes we don’t want to be gathered. We don’t want to be held fast. We want to be And it is that motley independent, to have our crew (which includes all of own way. “By myself!” was us sinners) that God prom- my watchword when I was a toddler (so I’m told). My ises to save and to gather.

Gather is an interesting daughter Jordan’s declaration of independence was word.

It comes from the Old an emphatic “Baby do it!”

English gaderian, which (Eden, on the other hand, is (according to Webster’s who is a different perNew Collegiate Diction- sonality altogether, was ary) akin to the Sanskrit famous for saying philogadh, which means “to sophically, “Whatever.”) hold fast.”

Jesus encountered

some of the same recalcitrance among the people of Jerusalem. He wept openly over the city, saying, “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it! How often have I desired to gather your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you were not willing!” (Matthew 23:37 NRSV) So, why, I wonder, did this whole line of thought come to me during the Advent season? This sounds more like a Lenten meditation than an Advent one, even to me.

Perhaps it is because what I have described is

the human condition: our unwillingness to be “gathered,” to be “held fast,” by our Creator. Our rebellion against God’s love is the reason God had to do something.

What God decided to do for us was to become one of us. God came into the world; God arrived (the word Advent means arrival) the way all the rest of us arrived, as a helpless baby. Except that there was one important difference. God came as the One who would fulfill the promise given to Zephaniah: he would save us, gather us, change us, and bring us home.

Thanks be to God!

Comedy of errors* Changing coaches wasn’t as depressing as some disasters. The search was a comedy of errors. Never have so many who knew so little said so much. Media and fans with “inside” information were very entertaining. Better than Oprah.

The outcome was OK. Butch Jones may very well be the best fifth or sixth choice in America. Several other schools wanted him. I read an editorial which said he is a solid pick. Wow. Butch looks like a football coach. He talks like a football coach. He may be a very good traveling salesman. He might also be a

(Zephaniah 3: 19b-20a NRSV)

In my day-to-day work, I spend a lot of time with our homeless neighbors. They are truly the outcast of our society, sometimes because of their own decision-making and sometimes because of circumstances completely beyond their control.

Just as the causes for their current situation vary

widely, so also do their attitudes toward their circumstances. Some are resigned, others are angry; some are looking for a rescuer; still others are fired up to get busy and do something to improve their lot.

In other words, they are a lot like the rest of us: a mixed bag.

Door prizes, concessions and gift wrapping were offered. Proceeds went toWilma Gosnell brought homemade canned goods. ward church ministries.

Coordinator Anita Rickard was excited about the opportunity to get to know the community better.

“We have really grown in the past few months,” said Rickard. “Our pastors, Tony and LaShea Colson, wanted to invite people in to shop at the bazaar and get to know us.”

The Colsons established City on a Hill Church in 2003.

“God has done amazing things during this time but we believe we are just at the edge of something great,” said Tony. “Our aim Anita Rickard pointed folks towards the bazaar.

First Christmas in Heaven 2012

I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below With tiny lights, like heaven's stars reflecting on the snow The sight is so spectacular - please wipe away that tear, For I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear But the sound of music can't compare with the Christmas choir up here.

I have no words to tell you the joy their voices bring, For it is beyond description to hear the angels sing!

Signatures Formal Wear came from Middlesboro, Ky., with lots of bling.

Owners Phyllis Baker and Alice Huff talk with sisters Kailey and Jillyan Kern.

I know how much you miss me - I see the pain inside your heart But I'm not so far away - we really aren't apart.

So be happy for me dear ones, you know I hold you dear And be glad that I'm spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.

I send you each a special gift from my heavenly home above I send you each a memory of my undying love.

After all, love is the gift more precious than pure gold.

It was always the most important of the stories Jesus told.

Coffee Break with

I’d be less taciturn.

What is your passion?

History

With whom, living or dead, would you most like to have a long lunch?

Robert E. Lee (and then have supper with Ulysses S. Grant to compare notes)

Other than your parents, who has had the biggest influence on your life and why?

The three women in my life: Hassie K. Gresham, my high school principal; Nannie Lee Hicks, my senior history teacher in high school and, by far, my dear, late wife, Peggy, to whom I was married for 54 years.

Dr. Jim Tumblin

Longtime Shopper-News columnist Dr. Jim Tumblin received the 2012 Knox Heritage Media Award for his long-running monthly column, History and Mysteries. We are quite proud of Dr. Jim and thought you needed to get better acquainted with him over this week’s Coffee Break.

Dr. Tumblin graduated from Central High School in 1944 and took his pre-optometry courses in the Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps at Milligan College, Central Michigan University and at the University of Michigan.

He graduated from Illinois College of Optometry in 1948.

Tumblin was in the private practice of Behavioral Optometry in Fountain City for 46 years, with the exception of his two years in the Army’s Medical Service Corps at Ft. Belvoir, Va. He specialized in the area of vision-related learning problems of children and teens. He is a past president of the American Optometric Association (19721973) and the Optometric Extension Program Foundation (OEPF) (1983-1987).

Jim was named the Fountain City Man of the Year in 1999 and received the Claude C. Myers Lifetime Achievement Award in 2006. He also co-wrote the Images of America “Fountain City” installment from Arcadia Publishing with C. Milton Hinshilwood.

Pour yourself a cup of Joe and get to know one of Fountain City’s favorites.

What is your favorite quote from TV or a movie?

If documentaries count, my favorite quote is, “So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself,” from Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s inaugural address, March 4, 1933.

I still can’t quite get the hang of …

Ballroom dancing

What is the best present you ever received in a box?

My Eagle Scout badge

What is the best advice your mother ever gave you?

Keep your (unruly) hair combed and put your best foot forward

What is your social media of choice?

One-on-one conversation

What is the worst job you have ever had?

Working the brass kettle on Saturday night at the Karmelkorn Shop in the second busiest shopping area in Chicago (62nd and Halstead)

What was your favorite Saturday morning cartoon and why? er for the president’s first pitch at a St. Louis Cardinals game in Busch Stadium with a capacity crowd. The pitch was low and outside and I muffed it. The photograph in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch the next day was captioned, “Fumblin’ Tumblin.”

What are the top three things on your bucket list?

What are you guilty of?

Forgetting my priorities list when the mail carrier delivers a new book on Civil War (or local) history.

What is your favorite material possession?

I have a love/hate relationship with my desktop computer, depending on how it is acting on any given day.

What are you reading currently?

Margery Weber Bensey’s new book, “Park City: A Knoxville Neighborhood History.”

What was your most embarrassing moment?

As president-elect of AOA, I was chosen to play catch-

1. Spend another week on Sanibel Island, Fla. 2. Climb Mt. LeConte one more time and sit at Cliff Top on the pinnacle.

3. Spend an hour viewing the panorama of the Chimney Tops in one direction and Clingman’s Dome in another.

What is one word others often use to describe you and why?

Wile E. Coyote (on “Looney Toons”), because he had such an inventive mind

What irritates you?

Tailgaters and those who don’t start decelerating behind me until the final 20 yards when there is a red light ahead.

What’s one place in Fountain City everyone should visit?

The Fountainhead Spring in Fountain City Park with the historic plaque for Col. J.C. Woodward nearby

What is your greatest fear?

Not completing my history of Fountain City

If you could do one impulsive thing, what would it be?

Climb the Chimneys one more time – J. Mabe

Taciturn, maybe because I (sometimes) am.

If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?

Have a friend or neighbor you think we should get to know? Nominate them for Coffee Break by emailing Jake Mabe at JakeMabe1@aol.com or calling 922-4136.

News from Knoxville’s Community Development Corporation (KCDC)

After

KCDC and Eastport Architects were recently honored by Knox Heritage for preserving the historic Eastport Elementary School in Five Points. The school building is pictured before and after being restored and repurposed as the Residences at Eastport, an 85-unit premier housing development exclusively for seniors. Photo submitted

Preserving communities

By Alvin Nance As

the

official public housing and redevelop ment agency for Knoxville and Knox County, we constantly look for ways to improve our Nance community.

We also understand the importance of maintaining the history and culture of the neighborhoods we serve as we build this future. That’s why KCDC is committed to historic preservation in our projects, as well as ensuring that renovations match the character of the surrounding neighborhoods.

Recently, KCDC and the Eastport Architects, a collaboration between Sanders Pace Architecture and Barber McMurry Architects, were honored by Knox Heritage with the Knox County Mayor’s Award during its 2012 Preservation Awards. We received this honor for the repurposing of Eastport Elementary School, a historic building donated to us by Knox County Schools and believed to be the first African-American school in Five Points.

When we first entered the school, the structure had been empty and used for storage for many years. It was literally falling down around us, but in spite of the challenges presented by preservation, we knew demolition wasn’t the solution. We recently celebrated the first year of the Residences at Eastport, a pre-

mier property development exclusively for seniors, and we are fully leased with 85 seniors living at the property.

Knox Heritage executive director Kim Trent said, “KCDC and Eastport Architects did a fabulous job of repurposing this historic school, which had been vacant and in disrepair, into a facility that truly benefits the community.

And what they found was that the cost of doing that was ultimately less than the cost to knock it down and build new.

We were able to preserve an important historic building and be economical as well.”

I am very proud of the Residences at Eastport and the local and regional recognition it has received this year for its innovation in preservation and sustainability. Some of this recognition includes a top sustainability award from the U.S. Department of Housing that set up our project as a model for public housing authorities in the region and LEED Platinum Certification by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), the highest level awarded for green home building. This property also received a 2012 Orchid Award from Keep Knoxville Beautiful.

The Eastport Elementary School is a vital part of the history of Five Points and we are proud to have been able to give the building a new life and purpose. I would also like to thank Knox Heritage for supporting our commitment to the preservation and for advocating for the rehabilitation of historic buildings in our community.

Can’t forget those burgers A reader submitted this picture with a note called “Erik meets Eirug.”

Dr. Eirug Davies, a native of Wales and faculty member at Harvard University, visited Knoxville in 2004 to begin researching his book, “The Welsh in Tennessee,” which was published this year. Dr. Davies’ given name is essentially pronounced like “Eric;” in the Welsh tradition, the “e” in his surname is silent.

When Davies returned to Knoxville for a presentation and book signing at the East

Tennessee History Center on Dec. 7, he was asked where he would like to have supper.

“How about that wonderful hamburger place?” he said.

After eight years, Dr. Davies fondly remembered the hamburger he’d eaten at Litton’s on his first visit to Knoxville.

Information about the Welsh settlers in East Tennessee and more on the new book can be found at http:// caloncymreig.tnhillbillie. Dr. Eirug Davies and Erik Litton at Litton’s where Dr. Davies eats at least once every eight years Photo submitted net/.

UT law dean honored Doug Blaze, dean of the College of Law at UT, has received the 2012 Deborah Rhode Award from the American Association of Law Blaze Schools.

The award honors a dean

or faculty member who has dedicated significant efforts to increasing access to justice through the law school environment while inspiring similar efforts from others.

He will receive the award in New Orleans in January at the annual meeting of the AALS. Buck Lewis, of Baker Donelson Bearman, Caldwell & Berkowitz PC, wrote in his

nomination of Blaze, “There is no dean or faculty member I have ever met who is more fully committed to this cause than Doug Blaze. He has created a culture of volunteerism at his law school which dramatically impacts the professional lives of his students. His example serves as an inspiration to private practitioners, judges and educators across our state.”

HPUD hires John Valliant

By Shannon Carey In closed executive session Dec. 10, Hallsdale Powell Utility District’s board of commissioners opted to retain attorney John Valliant as HPUD’s legal counsel, replacing attorney C. Coulter “Bud” Gilbert of Kennerly, Montgomery and Finley P.C. HPUD executive Sandy Liford confirmed the change in legal counsel Dec. 13.

Before the board adjourned to executive session, it voted to set four board meetings for 2013 at 6 p.m. instead of the regular 1:30 p.m.

time slot. These evening meetings will be held Mondays, March 11, June 20, Sept. 9 and Dec. 9.

The utility district set 13 water meters and inspected 14 sewer hook-ups in November.

The board approved a pay request of $207,242 to Judy Construction Company for the expansion of the Raccoon Valley Wastewater Treatment Plant, the plant’s first overhaul since it was built in the 1970s.

HPUD president Darren Cardwell said the project is about 30 percent complete.

Touching a reindeer Donna Roach (above) and Kyle Wilson – decked out like Santa’s elves – were at Creekside Nurseries on Northshore Drive with reindeer they help raise for Santa to borrow on Christmas Eve. Donna’s day job is MLS director for the Knox Area Association of Realtors. Roach said it’s a tradition to visit Creekside before Christmas. Law enforcement helped with traffic congestion, and Rural/Metro had a fire engine on display. You, too can rent reindeer. Visit www.reindeerman.com/. Photo by S. Clark

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

It’s early, but it is FLU TIME in Tennessee!

Flu season has come early this year, bringing with it a spike of inuenza cases in Tennessee and across the United States. “We’re seeing a lot of patients coming into the ER with u-like symptoms, much earlier than normal,â€? says Elizabeth Hull, M.D., Medical Director of the Fort Sanders Regional Emergency Department.

According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) ďŹ ve southern states, including Tennessee, report high levels of u activity already.

Several counties in East Tennessee have recently closed schools because of the number of students absent due to illness.

Typically the conventional u season peaks in January. This is the earliest u season in nearly a decade.

The winter of 2003-2004 was the last time the u season started this early. With more than 48,000 deaths in the United States, it was one of the deadliest seasons in 35 years.

The good news is that this year, many people are prepared for the u. More than one-third of Americans have been vaccinated. “If you haven’t already, get your u shot now,â€? urges Dr. Hull. Vaccination is especially important for children, adults 65 and older, pregnant women and people with asthma, diabetes and other long-term conditions who are at high risk from u complications. “If you’re very young, very old

“If you haven’t already, get your flu shot now.�

-Dr. Elizabeth Hull, Medical Director Fort Sanders ER

or have a weak immune system, inuenza can be life threatening,� explains Dr. Hull.

Fortunately, in most cases, this viral illness does not cause serious long-term health concerns. Inu-

Cold versus u?

How can you tell the difference between a cold and the u? Inuenza and the common cold are both respiratory illnesses but are caused by different viruses. But because these two illnesses have similar symptoms, it can be hard to tell which is which based on symptoms alone.

Generally, the u is more severe than a common cold, and symptoms such as fever, aches, extreme tiredness and cough are more intense. Colds are normally milder and people with colds are more likely to have a stuffy or runny nose. Colds don’t usually result in serious health problems such as bacterial infections and pneumonia that need hospitalization.

There are several key differences between the u and a cold according to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases: ■Fever. A high fever that lasts three or four days is common with u, but rare for a cold ■Headache. Prominent in u, rare for a cold. ■Aches and pains. Usually severe with u, mild with a cold. ■Fatigue. Sometimes occurs with colds, but u usually starts with a period of exhaustion and with fatigue that may last two or three weeks. ■Sneezing, stuffy nose, sore throat. The most common cold symptoms (most colds start with a sore throat), but can also occur with u. ■Chest discomfort, cough. Mild to moderate with colds, but can be severe with u.

enza is a viral infection that often causes high fever, muscle aches, headaches, severe fatigue, cough and runny nose for several days, although symptoms may sometimes linger for weeks.

Inuenza viruses are spread from an infected person to a non-infected person by coughing and sneezing, or by getting the virus on your hands and then touching your nose or mouth.

“Use common sense to help prevent contracting or spreading u,â€? says Dr. Hull. “Hand washing, covering your mouth when you cough and limiting your contact with others is so important.â€?

Dr. Hull says if you experience u-like symptoms, STAY HOME. “If you think you have the u, don’t go to work, don’t go to school, don’t go to the mall and spread the virus further.â€?

In most cases, mild u cases can be treated at home without emergency intervention. “Drinking lots of uids and controlling fever can help treat the symptoms and keep you from getting dehydrated,â€? says Dr. Hull.

However, Dr. Hull advises people with a higher risk of health complications to consult with their physician if they experience severe u-like symptoms.

Avoid the flu: Keep your germs to yourself According to the Centers for Disease Control, the single best way to prevent seasonal u is to get vaccinated every year.

But good health habits can often stop the spread of germs and prevent airborne illnesses like the u. Here’s some tips to help you avoid contracting or sharing the u: 1. Avoid close contact with people who are sick.

When you are sick, keep your distance from others to protect them from getting sick too.

2. Stay home when you are sick. If possible, don’t go to work, school or run errands when you are sick. You will help prevent others from catching your illness.

3. Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when coughing or sneezing. People with u can spread it to others up to 6 feet away. Flu virus droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people nearby and be inhaled into the lungs.

4. Clean your hands often. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand rub.

Linens, eating utensils and dishes belonging to those who are sick should not be shared without washing thoroughly ďŹ rst.

5. Avoid touching your eyes, nose

or mouth. Germs are often spread when its. Get plenty of sleep, drink plenty of ua person touches something that is con- ids, eat nutritious food, exercise regularly taminated with germs and then touches and manage your stress.

Carolyn Martin is the first member to pick a Christmas swap gift from the table during the Christmas celebration at the Heiskell Senior Center.

Martin is one of many members wearing a festive holiday sweater in what I like to call “sweaters on parade.”

Mable Buckner looks ready for Christmas in a black sweater vest. Buckner sang a beautiful song for the crowd before the festivities began.

Tuesday’s activities will include cards and games and the third Tuesday will feature the group’s book club. At 1 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 3, Noell Lewis of Edward Jones will speak on the foundations of investing. On Thursdays the center will be open for sewing and quilting and at 1 p.m. will feature bingo.

The second Tuesday of the

month will be the monthly meeting with lunch and bingo. On Jan. 10 the featured speaker will be Knox Wimberly with information on free tax preparation. Lunch will consist of Johnnie’s famous hot tamales, chili and a salad bar. Bring a dessert and a friend.

The center will be closed if Knox County Schools close due to inclement weather.

The center celebrated Christmas a little early at its monthly meeting. Each member brought a gift and everyone waited anxiously to have his or her number called out. Participants also received a beautiful tote bag filled with fruit and winter wear accessories.

Many of the participants were dressed in festive holiday attire and were ready to enjoy the company of good friends.

Santa at the zoo Santa Claus will be at the Knoxville Zoo through Friday, Dec. 21, to visit with children and their families in Santa’s Village.

Stop by the zoo between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. for a picture with the big guy himself.
