Orchids promote beauty in business By Wendy Smith Property owners who attend the annual Orchid Awards, presented by Keep Knoxville Beautiful, are hoping for a flower. But those who neglect their property may walk away with an onion, instead. The 30th annual awards dinner was held last week at The Foundry. Bruce Wheeler, director emeritus of the Chancellor’s Honors Program at UT, was the keynote speaker. He explained how Knoxville’s industrial boom in the late 19th century came with a price. “We sacrificed beauty for profit.” In 1947, a newspaper reporter declared Knoxville the ugliest city in America. The comment resulted in a push to improve the city’s aesthetics during the 1950s. The Dogwood Arts Festival was established as part of the effort. Wheeler used racing terminology to characterize how far the city has come. “Knoxville is ‘winning in the turns’ as the place is turning around, from the edge of the city, to the very center of the city.”

But no one should mistake Cosby’s expertise as an independent investigator as a sign that he lacks the skills and the spirit to cooperate with others. His service on the county’s Ethics Committee demonstrated clearly enough that he is a team player, a trait that he’ll bring to the Lewis Cosby PBA’s board.

Without a doubt, he was the right choice for this most recent appointment,” Burchett said. “In recent years, he has shown his willingness to hold government accountable, and I am confident that he will continue to do just that.” Cosby is the right man at the right moment. The PBA has grown exponentially since its establishment, and inevitably questions about its role and its reach have multiplied. As a member of the board, Cosby’s expertise will prove invaluable in answering those questions and helping to guide the organization in a direction that provides the greatest benefit to Knox County taxpayers.

UT grad saves life in Baltimore Through a series of misadventures, Beautz was forced to continue compressions for a good 10 minutes before an ambulance arrived. “You are taught to do CPR until somebody comes to relieve you,” Beautz said in the Sun article. “I just did what I was trained to do. “I could not have done what I had done without the help of the jayvee coach and the nurses,” Beautz said. “There is no way one person could have done CPR by themselves. It was a team effort.” Beautz and her husband have two children, a son who is a high school sophomore and a daughter, age 11. “I’m kinda proud of her for stepping in,” said Frank Leuthold.

Frank and June Leuthold are proud of their four kids. And they are especially proud of daughter Beth Beautz who reacted quickly to save the life of a young field hockey player a couple of weeks ago.

Beth had gone with a friend to a game when a freshman on the other team’s junior varsity collapsed at the conclusion of her game at Catonsville High School on Sept. 27. According to an Oct. 4 article in the Baltimore Sun, Beautz ran from the stands and began CPR and chest compressions. “In a crisis some people basically freeze,” said Frank Leuthold. “That’s why we should decide to react before the crisis. We should know what we would do.” Frank Leuthold served for many years on the Knox County Commission until he fell victim to term limits. As a commissioner, he chaired the Finance Committee and headed redistricting. He is a retired professor from UT College of Agriculture. Beth Leuthold grew up in Cedar Bluff and graduated from Farragut High School

Retaining wall to hold its ground

Halloween is celebrated for days now and homeowners decorate yards and houses for the evening affair. Photo by Joe Rector

Changes in Halloween over the years It’s Halloween, and the candy aisles in grocery stores are empty as folks stock up for the invasion of ghosts and goblins. All Hallow’s Eve has changed over the years.

Joe Rector

In a different time, folks looked forward to Halloween and rested up for the evening’s activities. As light faded, gangs of boys gathered at one house and then set out for long hikes across the neighborhood. In Ball Camp, children walked on the “left side of the road” as they were taught in school and stopped at every house along the way. Their trek took them more than a mile away, and then they turned toward home. Subdivisions didn’t exist in those days in the “country,” so traveling such long distances was necessary to gather a modest amount of treats. When the door opened, kids yelled “trick or

treat” and raised brown paper bags or old pillow cases toward the treat givers. One or two items were given to each child, and sometimes they left disappointed when a homeowner dropped apples or pears from trees in the backyard. At some special places, elderly ladies dropped popcorn balls or caramel covered apples in the bags. Halloween doesn’t look the same these days. Kids who trick or treat hop into minivans, and a mom hauls them to heavily populated subdivisions where houses are stacked close together. Single neighborhoods like these often hold more stops than children of other generations visited during their multimile jaunts. Little ones who knock on doors are cloaked in elaborate costumes. Super hero and cartoon character outfits are most popular disguises. That’s much different from the shoe polish and lipstick faces that moms used to paint on children’s faces. What kids receive now is much different. Individually wrapped items are separated from other things before the child is allowed to indulge in candy. Fruit, homemade

cookies or popcorn balls are tossed in the trash since parents are afraid that some crazed homeowner might have poisoned them. The candy is secreted away and doled out sparingly as moms police the sugar amounts that children receive. Increasing numbers of children forego trick or treating altogether. Instead, they attend “fall festivals” offered by churches and other community organizations. Beaver Ridge Methodist and Hardin Valley Church of Christ both are offering such programs. They include hayrides and hot dog cookouts, as well as opportunities to rake in some candy. In past times, houses were decorated with a single jacko’-lantern instead of yards filled with grave markers, skeletons and other scary items. Kids wore themselves out in pursuit of treats, and parents didn’t worry about the ill effects of their bounty since children exercised enough outside each day to burn off excess calories. Still, it’s trick-or-treat time. Children will be out tonight, so motorists need to be extra careful. Enjoy the little ones as they come knocking at the door.

It seemed simple enough. Just replace a crumbling old retaining wall with a new one, but there’s that issue of being a few inches over the line. That’s the problem facing Terry Brown and Becky Macklin Brown when they replaced an old retaining wall with what they believed to be a sturdy concrete block upgrade. The property at 11421 Turkey Creek Road is divided by the roadway with a narrow strip on one side giving them lake access. They tore out the old railroad ties and started to install a new wall when they received a stop work order from the town of Farragut. A previous owner received permission to build the retaining wall so the strip of land would be usable. It was done at a time when the town had no ordinances regarding retaining walls. Not only is the new wall over the easement by several inches, but it’s also within the 10-foot setback requirement from the town’s right of way. The owners came to the Farragut Board of Mayor and Alderman meeting Thursday seeking relief. “It’s somewhat of an unusual situation,” said Tom Hale, town attorney. His wondered if the board granted the variance request what would happen if the wall had to be moved for some reason, such as widening the roadway or moving utility poles. The owners’ attorney, Stephen Irving, quickly answered. The owners will pay a bond to cover any costs. They have also agreed to top the wall with a highway guardrail for added safety for drivers. “The wall is better than what was there,” said Irving. “The collapse of the old rail-

Suzanne Foree Neal road ties was a concern for some of the neighbors and for the Browns.” The new wall design will not only be sturdier, but drainage across the property from Turkey Creek Road will be improved to prevent erosion. Irving said the Browns had hired a contractor to rebuild the wall. If the town would require the wall to comply with the 10foot setback requirement, it would be in the water. Town Engineer Darryl Smith found no fault in the construction techniques being used for the wall after viewing photos of the partially completed project and some discussion with the Browns. The board granted the Browns a conditional easement but is requiring them to go before the board of zoning appeals to obtain a variance for the 10-foot setback requirement. In other business the board: ■ Amended the Farragut zoning ordinance to define “medical spa” as a permitted use in commercial and office zoning districts as requested by Stacey Handel, owner of Garde Bien Spa Salon. ■ Amended the Farragut Municipal Code to update the beer ordinance to reflect current state law. ■ Approved $19,546.90 for additional work to fill

a void at the Farm at Willow Creek drainage project. Smith said contractor Blalock & Sons Inc. essentially had to put a “$20,000 cork” in a hole to fill it. ■ Adopted a revised storm drainage policy that limits the town’s responsibility to public rights-of-way and public property. The town will not be responsible for the maintenance of stormwater and drainage features on private property nor within easements on private property. ■ Suspended issuance of separate special event permits during the “Shop Farragut” program, from Nov. 5 to Jan. 14. This allows a two-week period before and after the “Shop Farragut” holiday (Nov. 19 to Dec. 31) to help brand the program. Places of worship are excluded. ■ Approved a memorandum of understanding between the town and the Farragut Business Alliance. The FBA will take over responsibility for several economic development issues. The agreement is for five years and the town will gradually reduce its grant money to the FBA from $44,000 to $23,000 in hopes that it will generate its own revenue. ■ The Beer Board approved an on-premise beer permit for Go Bananaz Cafe at 11151-D Kingston Pike, owner Kai J.

Things that go ‘Huh?’ in the night Welcome to a special Halloween edition of Mr. Answer Man’s answers to the questions that keep you up at night. Young children and people with heart conditions should avoid today’s session. Q: Mr. Answer Man, I hear the school system is spending $750,000 to supply students with something called “isotonic water.” What is that? Could this be a Marxist plot to corrupt our children’s precious bodily fluids? Sign me, “Scared.” A: Dear Scared: You have every right to be frightened. Fittingly, “isotonic” is an English transliteration of Egyptian hieroglyphics discovered on the tomb of King Tut: iso, “costs a lot;” and tonic, “water with stuff added to it.” It’s fitting because water was a scarce commodity in the Egyptian desert, and isotonic water was reserved for the Pharoahs. Commissioner Tony Norman, who pursues Egyptology as a sideline, noted last week that, “Kids want a whole lot of things.” Norman added: “Just because they demand it doesn’t mean we have to supply it.” School officials countered that they want to provide “attractive items students are interested in.” Besides, the markup is 250 percent, better than double the profit realized by Egyptian traders during Tut’s reign. But what will students “demand” next? Free bus rides? No school on Christmas Day? Who knows where this will end. Q: Mr. Answer Man, maybe it’s just because Halloween is approaching, but I’m having a recurring nightmare about the county going back into business with a vendor some say owes taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars. Am I losing my mind? A: You seem perfectly normal to me – it’s the county’s sanity that’s in question. Recently, Commissioner “Our” Larry Smith summed up his fears about the county’s contract with Nature’s Best Organics LLC, also known as “the same guys who operated Natural Resources Recovery and got sued by Brad Mayes.” Smith said, “Guys, if we vote for this we have our heads in the sand. They screwed us once (and) they’ll try to do it again.” With a nod to the supernatural, Norman described the situation as “a lawyer’s heaven (but) … our purgatory,” and said there was no recourse other than letting the courts sort it out. “They’re tainted, and we shouldn’t be doing business with them,” Norman added, before voting for the contract. Mr. Answer Man’s assessment: “The horror … the horror.” (Thank you, Marlon Brando.) Q: Last week Commissioner Sam McKenzie said he had a hard time justifying a 1.5 percent pay increase over a period of four years for county employees. What’s your take? A: Mr. Answer Man’s sources tell us that County Mayor Tim Burchett and his staff, ever mindful of the Halloween season, arrived at the percentage by bobbing for apples. Chief of staff Dean Rice grabbed 1 1/2 Granny Smiths, and the rest is history. There is no truth to the scurrilous rumor that Commissioner Amy Broyles tried to slip a poisoned apple into the tub, which, by the way, was fi lled with isotonic water. Anyway, if McKenzie worked for a print newspaper he wouldn’t have made such a silly observation. Contact Larry Van Guilder at lvgknox@mindspring.com.

City election generates yawn A week from tomorrow night and it is over, this mayoral contest which started last summer (2010, not 2011) when Marilyn Roddy hosted fundraisers only to switch races once Jamie Woodson resigned as state senator. Last week I was asked during a talk at the Farragut Rotary Club if Roddy had stayed in the race would it be a different set of candidates in the current run off. This is a “what if” question to which the answer is only a speculation. However, I think it is certainly possible that would have been the case. There is no doubt Madeline Rogero was going to have a spot in the runoff or win it outright (only 16 votes short as it was). She has always been the person to beat and still is. Mark Padgett was only a few votes ahead of Ivan Harmon. Roddy would have taken some Republican votes from Harmon and perhaps gotten some Padgett votes as well. Padgett and Harmon were neck and neck. Certain-

Victor Ashe

ly it is plausible that Roddy could have been in the same close mix. She had ample funding which she returned once she switched races. She had been running for more than a year. Padgett and Harmon got 23 percent each so all Roddy had to do was win 24 percent and she would have been in the runoff. Now whether she would have defeated Rogero is another matter and my guess is not. However, I think that runoff would have been less negative than the current contest. The more interesting question is what would have happened had interim Mayor Daniel Brown decided to run for mayor. I am convinced he would have won a place in the runoff and probably faced

backfire. People do not appreciate such tactics and are more informed than the author of the mailer may think. It certainly will fire up the Rogero base. ■ Mayor Brown has indicated he will make office space available to the mayorelect to run his/her transition office between Nov. 8 and Dec. 17 when the new mayor takes office. The winner will be invited to a seminar at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard to be held Nov. 30 to Dec. 2 for newly elected mayors of cities over 90,000. It is sponsored by the U.S. Conference of Mayors and the JFK Institute of Politics and is a valuable source of information. ■ Vice Mayor Joe Bailey and his family have moved recently from his home on Hillvale Turn West (previously occupied by former County Commissioner Bee DeSelm) two blocks away to the corner of Kingston Pike and Oakhurst. His term on City Council ends Dec. 17.

Blowback: Republicans for Rogero Tennessee Conservative Union chair Lloyd Daugherty lives in Karns and doesn’t usually mess in city politics, but the anonymous letter trashing mayoral candidate Madeline Rogero and several prominent Republican supporters sucked him

Betty Bean into the maelstrom when he reported that eight of 15 TCU members who received the letter have decided to vote for Rogero. When TV reporters called, he said that he disagrees with Rogero on many philosophical issues, but has always liked her personally. That pulled him even deeper into the battle between Rogero and Mark Padgett, who, like Rogero, is a Democrat, but who enjoys the support of several well-known Republicans, most notably losing mayoral candidate Ivan Harmon and Sheriff Jimmy “J.J.” Jones. Later, Daugherty was in the doctor’s office and was approached by one of the nurses. “She said ‘Because you’ve endorsed Madeline, my friend and I have decided to vote for her. …’ I told her that I hadn’t really endorsed anybody, but I said Madeline’s honest and she’s smart and that’s who I’d be for if I were in the city. The lady said, ‘That’s good

enough for me.’ ” Daughterty said his friends are furious over the attack on Rogero supporter Eddie Mannis, who is responsible for the HonorAir flights that take World War II veterans to Washington, D.C., to see the monument to their service. “That went over like a tofu turkey at a Baptist homecoming. One fellow told me that Mr. Mannis helped his older brother go to Washington before he died. He said that letter made him sick. So if you talk to Madeline, tell her she didn’t know it and I didn’t know it but I’ve endorsed her.” County Mayor Tim Burchett says he doesn’t get involved in city politics when asked if he has a favorite in the Rogero-Padgett race. “But I’ll say this: We disagree about a lot of things, but she’s never lied to me. That’s more than I can say about a lot of people I know. And that letter? It’s just the death rattle of the old courthouse crowd.” Republican Executive Committee member Lynn Redmon is an unapologetic Rogero supporter: “I care about neighborhoods. That’s why I’m for Rogero.” Attorney Richard Beeler, who served as county law director when Rogero was a county commissioner, has GOP credentials that go back to Ronald Reagan’s 1980 campaign in the New Hampshire primary.

Rogero although his candidacy would have taken votes off Rogero in the African-American community. It also would have taken votes all across the city from people who have been impressed with the calm and deliberate manner in which he has led the city. A runoff between Rogero and Brown could have been close. If early voting averages 700 to 800 voters a day, about 9,000 people will vote early, which means the total city vote may reach 18,000, a few thousand more than the Sept. 27 primary. This is half the 33,000 who voted in 1987 when Randy Tyree and I faced off in a similar runoff. It is a shame so few people are voting and it argues strongly for changing the city elections to coincide with the state elections where turnout is much higher. This election is generating a yawn from 80 percent of the registered voters. ■ The nasty, unsigned letter attacking Rogero may

Discerning the Arab Spring

Pay to play, says Pension Board Board wants $13K from Lobetti By Betty Bean County pension board member Ed Shouse was taken by surprisewhen politico Robert M. “Mose” Lobetti showed Lobetti up on the board’s September agenda to talk about his status under the Uniformed Officers Pension Plan. Lobetti has been asked to repay some $13,000 that was distributed to him before he switched from the county’s Asset Accumulation Plan to the UOPP in 2007. The UOPP is a defined benefits plan that was passed by referendum in 2007 and was sold to the public as a way to provide a decent retirement for law enforcement officers who risk their lives to ensure public safety. Lobetti, 82, is best known for his high profile involvement in local political campaigns – most recently that of mayoral candidate Mark Padgett – and his connections to the family of John J. Duncan Sr., Jr. and III. “When item No. 6 concerning Mose Lobetti came up, I said that I had known Mose for a long time and realized that he had been employed at the courthouse for many years, but I had always thought that he worked for the attorney general in the grand jury area and therefore was actually employed by the state. I then asked how could he be a participant of the UOPP. The response was that he was a ‘Court Officer’ and was on the payroll of the sheriff.

I asked if this was similar to a bailiff’s position and the answer was yes. As you know, bailiffs qualify for the UOPP,” Shouse said. Lobetti’s attorney, Steve Sharp, did not return a telephone call when contacted for comment on this story, but pension board minutes for the September meeting reflect that Sharp asked for a postponement and requested that the board provide Lobetti with calculations “based on where he would stand if he had not transferred to the Uniformed Officers’ Pension Plan.” Pension Board executive director Kim Bennett told the board that Lobetti received payments (due to his age) from the Asset Accumulation Plan in 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006 in the amount of $11,171.81. She said that Lobetti should have been given the option of repaying that money with interest or taking a reduced benefit at that time. Instead, she said, “He fell through the cracks.” “Either he needs to pay it back or his benefit will be reduced,” Bennett said. She explained that anyone receiving the UOPP must have 25 years service and be at least 50 years old to draw the pension. Pension board attorney Richard Beeler confirmed Bennett’s take on the Lobetti matter: “If he buys back that lost time, he will receive an increased benefit when he officially retires under the UOPP.” The matter was postponed again in October and has been rescheduled for the November meeting.

So, I drifted by the Democratic Club that meets on Bearden Hill last week to hear retired UT professor Bob Cunningham talk about the Arab Spring. You know the Arab Spring. We just finished it, although one could argue it’s the Arab Era and we’re not done yet. Cunningham discussed the populist uprisings in the Middle East in terms of the economy and what he called “old men and their families.” Every country was impacted by the bad economy, even the oil producers, he said. Production was cut and workers were laid off. Even college educated young people could not find work. “There is a feeling that the system doesn’t work and an enthusiasm, especially by young people, to change it,” he said. Cunningham traced family or military control back to the 1960s for most Middle Eastern countries and back to the 1920s for Jordan. There is pentup pressure for regime change. “Religious and ethnic minorities often do better with authoritarian rule. They get by because they are no threat.” Cunningham, who lived and taught in Syria for three years, said minorities

Dr. Bob Cunningham

have reason for concern as dictators are overthrown, especially those minorities such as the Sunnis in Iraq that have ruled over the majority Shiites. Then he asked: Is Islam a threat to the United States’ way of life? He called Turkey a “real hero in the Middle East” as an example of a secular Islamic country.

That’s the key it seems. Don’t mix government and religion. Good advice for us all. The Q-and-A was all over the map, reflecting both the audience’s engagement in the topic and the individuals’ need to have Cunningham hear their point of view. “Technology is an irresistible force,” said one. With computers and cellphones, dissidents can organize. What happens in Iraq when we leave? “They can’t blame the Americans any more,” said Cunningham. “The younger generation wants to participate, and that leads to optimism. … The military wants stability and often will trade growth for stability. “It’s all mixed up with pieces that don’t fit. It’s impossible to predict (the outcome).”

Timeline Since January, revolutions have occurred in Tunisia and Egypt; a civil war in Libya; civil uprisings in Bahrain, Syria and Yemen; major protests in Algeria, Iraq, Jordan, Morocco and Oman; and minor protests in Kuwait, Lebanon, Mauritania, Saudi Arabia, Sudan and Western Sahara. Three heads of state were overthrown: Tunisian President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali fled to Saudi Arabia on Jan. 14. In Egypt, President Hosni Mubarak resigned on Feb. 11, ending his 30year presidency. Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi was overthrown on Aug. 23, killed on Oct. 20 and buried in a “secret location.” – Wikipedia

Norman to be inducted to Central High Wall of Fame Educator founded UT’s religious studies department By Courtney Shea Ralph V. Norman Jr., Ph.D., a Central High School graduate of the Class of 1951, is being inducted into the school’s Wall of Fame at the annual breakfast ceremony 9 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 12, at the school. Dr. Norman is being recognized for his career of scholarly accomplishments, especially as the founding head of the Department of Religious Studies at UT. As an educator and scholar, his activities and writings brought together themes and ideas from diverse disciplines. Ralph V. Norman Jr. was 9 when his family moved to Fountain City. In 1942, Ralph V. Norman Sr., a sales manager for the tobacco firm of Brown and Williamson, received a promotion and moved his family – wife Anna Lee, daughter Sara Jane and son Ralph Jr. – from Johnson City to Fulton Road. Ralph liked the area, remembering Fountain City as somewhat different from the rest of the community. It was a harder for his sister, six years older, to make the transition from Johnson City at a time when many of the young men of her age were leaving school for the military. Ralph recalls Fountain City as an interesting crossroads, having a diverse professional class with new families brought in by Oak Ridge and TVA as well as international visitors observing the results of the TVA social experiment. He attended first Fountain City Elementary then traveled one block over to Central High. Ralph enjoyed both academics and activities at Central. He played in the band and was an enthusiastic member of the debate club. His junior year, the debate team reached the state finals, placing second.

university, he was unable to persuade former athletic director Doug Dickey to include croquet as a university sport. Among his honors are the Chancellor’s Citation for Extraordinary Service to the University (2003) and the University Studies Award for Distinguished Service (2002). Dr. Norman’s interests in humanities and the arts extend beyond academics. He chaired the Tennessee Committee for the Humanities and served on the board of the Knoxville Opera Guild. He has combined his love of croquet with community service through croquet tournaments benefitting the Opera Guild and the High Country Women’s Fund in Avery County, N.C. He has been involved in arts councils for the city of Knoxville and the state of Tennessee. Connie and Ralph raised two children, son Stephen and daughter Emily. Knoxville is home to Emily and her husband, David Cox, and children, Jonathan and Caroline. Son Stephen passed away in 2000. Connie passed away in 2007. Now retired, Ralph Norman divides his time between Knoxville, Blowing Rock, N.C., and Key Largo, Fla. He met his new wife, Linda, in Blowing Rock and has enjoyed introducing her to competition croquet. A native of Albany, N.Y., Linda Lillo Norman has also enjoyed being introduced to Knoxville’s version of Southern culture.

Breakfast is Nov. 12 The 10th annual Central High School Wall of Fame breakfast is 9 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 12, at the Central High commons. Other inductees include Charlotte Davis, Eddie Mannis and the Rev. Billy Wallace. Tickets are available at the school office or by calling 922-5433.

pointed out the perfection of the brief moment captured in the poem, a moment that is balanced in perfect maturity: ripeness, suspended between growth and decay. He waxed eloquent also about the perfection of the arrangement of words: the three stanzas (three being a perfect number: beginning, middle, end), and the fact that all the senses get drawn into play. The first stanza, he noted, is all about taste, touch and smell. The second deals with sight, and the third is devoted to sounds. Rereading that poem reminds me to taste and touch and smell autumn in all its glory, as well as to see it. Keats nudges me: turns my face to look, to savor, to listen, to breathe. I am so grateful to live here, in this place, with four distinct seasons, with the turning of the year painted in gold and amber and scarlet, with the quiet brook lying at the back of my meadow, and the sky so blue it hurts my heart. I am so blessed to have eyes to see, ears to hear, a mind to wonder, and a soul to give thanks. Happy autumn!

KARNS/HARDIN VALLEY SHOPPER-NEWS • OCTOBER 31, 2011 • A-9

Long time coming By Greg Householder One rather negative manifestation of a non-winning football program is that sometimes records are hard to find. After all, if a team’s history is bad, why keep up with it? For Karns High School head football coach Derek Witt, the search goes a long way back, relatively speaking. As near as he can tell, the last time the football Beavers enjoyed a winning season was 1974 when Karns went 6-4. This year, the worst the Beavers can do is match that feat. Karns was 6-3 going in to last Friday’s regular season finale with Hardin Valley Academy. Results of Friday’s game were unavailable at press time. The Beavers are playoff bound regardless of Friday’s results. Interestingly, the last time Karns made the playoffs was in 2004 with a 4-6 record back in the days of the now defunct regional system where the top four finishers

in each region were guaranteed a playoff slot regardless of records. The Beavers were blown out in the first round. Many coaches have sat in the football office at Karns through recent years. How did Witt do it this year? “We told the kids our vision – preseason, workouts, speed training – and they bought into it,” said Witt. It doesn’t hurt that the head football coach is also the head track coach at Karns. Out of 45 track members last spring, 30 were football players. “On offense, we started with what we thought would work and evolved it,” he says. The Beavers started using an unbalanced single wing offensive scheme but morphed into a pistol offense to take advantage of the athletic abilities of senior quarterback Tyler Stewart and the running power of Xavier Harper. On defense, Karns employs a 3-4 defense – designed to combat the spread

offenses many teams run today. John Costar and Amariyuan Carter anchor at linebacker. Stewart, Harper, Costar and Carter were voted team captains this year. There are 55 varsity players, 22 of them seniors, and 35 freshmen in the Karns program. Many of the players, including a good number of seniors, are playing for the first time. “We’ve got basketball players and soccer players that came out this year,” says Witt. “Only two guys have actually played offense before.” Perhaps another secret to the Beavers’ success is the use of film. Almost every practice session begins with film study after school and the players don’t actually hit the field until about 5 p.m. Karns uses a video system that allows players to log in to a website at home and watch game video and make their own highlight videos. The system even tracks how much time they spend watching for

the coaches to monitor. The famous “Corbin Comeback” was when Witt first started thinking that this team was for real and that they had bought into the vision and were not going to fold. The Beavers were down to Corbin High School in Kentucky on the road on Aug. 26 late with just minutes to go. Previous Karns teams might have quit. Not this one. The Beavers came back to win 21-20 in a thriller. “The kids didn’t have quit in them,” said Witt. Another change fans may have noticed is that the Beavers have dispensed with the University of Kentucky-style “K” on their helmets in favor of numbers and a stripe. “The seniors wanted more of the Alabama-look,” says Witt. Probably a good move. If a team is to emulate a college team, Alabama would be the choice over Kentucky. Maybe that’s why the Beavers were 6-3 going into their last game – but no, it is probably the vision and the kids’ buy-in of it like Witt says.

Hardin Valley Academy students visit U.S. District Court Students from Hardin Valley Academy conducted a mock trial and had lunch with federal judges last Friday. The students gather around Magistrate Judge H. Bruce Guyton in this photograph by Janet Jackson. Judge Guyton presided over the mock trial. The students were accompanied by Dean Laura Watson. Jackson said this is the second year for the program, a part of the Community Outreach Program offered by federal courts

and designed by the Federal Judicial Center for courts across the country to use. In the scripted mock trial, students play the roles of attorneys, witnesses, courtroom deputy and jurors. They work with practicing attorneys as the coaches and have a judge preside. Friday’s trial was a criminal case in which the students experienced the role of a prosecutor in the U.S. Attorney’s Office and the Federal Defender Services in representing the defendants.

Jae Son directs state TSA Through TSA, Hardin Valley Academy senior Jae Son has developed skills that will lead him to success in the future. Hawks at Home

Madison Williams Jae Son Jae has been participating in TSA (Technology Student Association) since he was in the 7th grade. TSA “is a student-driven organization that prepares its members for life in an everincreasingly technological world and workplace.” Jae has participated in HVA’s chapter of TSA, serving as vice president, and in the Tennessee chapter, serving as state sergeant-atarms, state vice president, and currently as state president. He spends around 10 hours a week on TSA-related projects. Jae is very involved in TSA and is very passionate about the organization. “From my perspective as Tennessee state president, my favorite thing about TSA is watching students from across the state blossom into strong, confident leaders who are able to solve problems effectively and professionally. “From a member’s perspective, my favorite part is competing in events. Over the years, my projects have gotten ‘top 10 in the nation’ nine times. It’s very gratifying to

see all of your hard work pay off in the end,” Jae says. TSA has changed Jae’s life in a variety of ways. “Without TSA, I wouldn’t be who I am today. No single thing has impacted my life as much as TSA. Competing in events helped me to overcome my shyness as a middle schooler and taught me the values of hard work, responsibility, teamwork and creativity. Running for state office allowed me to work together with an executive team in order to improve and reform the organization I love. And perhaps most importantly, through TSA, I’ve gained innumerable life-long friends whom I would have never have met otherwise.” TSA has no collegiate division, but Jae says TSA will always remain a big part of his life. “There is a strong alumni association within our state, so I’ll definitely make it a point to come back after this year and help out,” he says. “Our alumni love the TSA experience so much that they come back to judge events and help with conference administration.”

Pumpkins on Parade Farragut Intermediate School 5th grader Matthew Graham decorated his pumpkin to resemble Abraham Lincoln after reading the book “Killing Lincoln.” Matthew’s teacher, Antoinette Williams, said her class will vote and awards will be given including best pumpkin and funniest pumpkin.

Farragut Intermediate School student Lygia Karagilzis based her pumpkin’s design on the character from the book “Calling Doctor Amelia Bedelia.”

Farragut Intermediate School 5th grader Sam Liske was inspired by Katniss Everdeen from the book “Hunger Games.” “She’s one of the ‘good guys,’ ” he said.

Farragut Intermediate School 5th graders Luke Rainey, Hunter Calbaugh and Jon Buell compare pumpkins last Friday during “Pumpkins on Parade.” Characters from “Percy Jackson,” “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” and “Avatar” were influences for their works of pumpkin art. Photos by S. Barrett

Time to focus on bowl eligibility Optimism is linked to good health. Encouragement is wherever you ﬁnd it. Fortunes are rooted in the power of positive thinking. Sometime soon those still wearing orange sunglasses will stop looking back at the wreckage of what might have been and switch their focus to bowl eligibility. Six victories open the door to one of the many minor bowls. Go Vols! Give us six! Nipping Middle Tennessee State will be a giant step forward. After that comes an inconvenient trip to Arkansas and then the old faithfuls, Vandy and Kentucky. Push hard, men. End this season with a bang!

Financial Focus Improve your financial picture during “Open Enrollment” Late fall marks the beginning of the holiday season, which probably means that you’ll have a lot going on over the next couple of months. However, busy as you are, you’ll want to take the time to review your employee beneﬁts package, since November also is a popular month Wendy for employers to offer open enrollment. And the Schopp decisions you make now could have a big impact on your ﬁnancial outlook for years to come. So, if you are in an open enrollment period, here are some steps you may want to take: ■ Boost your 401(k) contributions. It’s almost always a good idea to put in as much as you can, up to the contribution limit, in your 401(k) or similar retirement plan. After all, you typically contribute pre-tax dollars, so the more you put in, the lower your taxable income. Also, your money can grow on a tax-deferred basis, which means it has the potential to grow faster than an investment for which you paid taxes every year. At the very least, contribute enough to earn your employer’s match, if one is offered. For example, if you work for an organization that will match 50 percent of everything you put in up to, say, 6 percent of your salary, then you should contribute 6 percent of your salary – which is like getting a three percent raise. ■ Rebalance your 401(k) portfolio. You may have a dozen or more investment options in your 401(k). Ideally, you’ll want to spread your money among these options in a way that’s appropriate for your risk tolerance, time horizon and long-term goals. But over time, your

401(k) portfolio can become “unbalanced,” even if you made no changes. For example, if you’ve invested in a couple of aggressive-growth accounts, and these accounts have gained significantly in value, they may now be taking up a greater percentage of your portfolio than you had originally intended, exposing you to more risk than you’d like. Consequently, if your plan doesn’t offer an automatic rebalance option, you may need to rebalance your portfolio by moving some of your assets into less aggressive vehicles. ■ Be cautious about adding company stock. You may be loyal to your employer, but try not to hold too much company stock in your 401(k). After all, your company, like all businesses, may go through ups and downs, and if your portfolio is dominated by this single stock, you may experience considerable volatility. And if your company matches your 401(k) contributions with its own stock, you may want to invest all your own money in vehicles other than company stock. ■ Take all the insurance that’s offered. Typically, when employers offer life insurance as a benefit, it’s at little or no cost to you, so you’ll probably want to take all that’s offered. However, this amount may still be less than what you really need to fully protect your family, so you may well need to purchase an individual policy to supplement your employer’s coverage. And always be aware if your employer reduces or eliminates the insurance that’s offered as an employee benefit, because you’ll then need to adjust the policy that you’ve bought outside work. You can review and improve your financial picture during open enrollment – so take advantage of this opportunity.

Sherri Lee is so crazy about figs that her license plate says, “FIG LADY.” She grows her own figs and is still in the process of marketing a cookbook that was published in 2009, “Under the Fig Leaf: A Cookbook for Fig Lovers.” The book was a labor of love, and she shared what she’s learned about publishing with the Knoxville Writer’s Group last week. “I’m not sure my parents would be proud of me,” she said. “They spent a lot of money on college and now I’m best known for figs.” The cookbook is beautifully designed and full

of gorgeous pictures of elegant fig recipes. Lee calls herself a “slack-jaw” cook, but says she spent hours in the kitchen testing each of the recipes. She spent even more time editing the book and says that was the most difficult part of the publishing process. She has tips for those who want to grow their own figs. She recommends brown turkey figs, which are available at local home improvement stores, and says the plants need full sun. “They’re like tomatoes. You have a few, then, all of a sudden, you have hundreds.” The book is available at Amazon and Barnes and Noble. The Knoxville Writer’s Group meets at 11:30 a.m. on fourth Wednesdays at Naples.

NEWS FROM CHRISTIAN ACADEMY OF KNOXVILLE Madeline Mixner as Jasmine and Nolan Howell as Aladdin take a ride on the magic carpet in the Christian Academy of Knoxville Middle School production of “Aladdin Jr.” Photos by S. Carey

CAK NOTES The evil Jafar, played by Weston Sullivan, and bird Iago, played by Maggie Murchison, plot Aladdin’s downfall.

‘A whole new world’ Middle school presents ‘Aladdin Jr.’ By Shannon Carey

agic lamps, ﬂying carpets, genies, wishes and sorcerers took over the stage at Christian Academy of Knoxville, as middle school choral music and musical theatre students presented “Aladdin Jr.” According to director Peggy Filyaw, the production was the Broadway version of the Disney movie, but with music scaled for middle school voices. Hence the “Jr.” in the title. The musical still packs all the magic and fun of the full version, though. Filyaw said this is the 12th middle school musical at CAK, and she is glad to see the program grow. “I think it gives students conﬁdence to be in front of an audience,” she said. “It’s just great to be able to give them

that opportunity.” With 48 students in the “Aladdin Jr.” cast and crew, the production offered ample opportunities for student participation. As Filyaw said, “There are no benchwarmers in musical theatre.” The clever street urchin Aladdin is played by 8th grader Nolan Howell, who is gracing the CAK stage for the ﬁrst time. His performance is paired with Jasmine played by Madeline Mixner in her third CAK performance. The wisecracking genie is played by 8th grader Jane Ann Foncea, and the evil Jafar is portrayed by 7th grader Weston Sullivan, another rookie to the CAK stage. This production is also special because a student director is taking part for the ﬁrst time. CAK senior Travis Blackwell is serving as assistant director.

Nolan Howell as Aladdin rubs the magic lamp and summons the genie, played by Jane Ann Foncea. “He’s brought a whole lot to this show,” said Filyaw. Set design was provided by CAK parent and professional artist Cheryl Nehls. Parent volunteers helped with costuming. Janet McLean arranged the choreography and helped in other ways, too. “We couldn’t do this without Janet,” said Filyaw. Filyaw also thanked CAK Middle School Principal Debbie Moye for her support of the musical theatre program.

Students raise $1,000 for Ridgedale School

Girls volleyball team make state tournament The CAK girls volleyball team went all the way to the state tournament with wins in the district and regional tournaments. Holly Staabe and Lauren Peterson were named to the Regional Tournament Team. Teresa Slade was named Tournament MVP for the region and the district and district Player of the Year. Maggie Morgan and Taylor Call were chosen for the All District Tournament Team. Lauren Petersen was named district Server of the Year. Cheyenne Hooper was named district Rookie of the Year, and coach Jamie Petrick was named district Coach of the Year. Taylor Call, Courtney Shields and Maggie Morgan received honorable mentions for the All-District Team for the regular season. Photo submitted

CAK students Chris Harpending and Jeff Braswell sold Knox County school coupon books to help the Ridgedale Alternative School, raising more than $1,000 for the program. They will be honored at 3:15 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 1, at Ridgedale. “I was shocked,” said longtime coupon books coordinator Mary Kerr. “In 23 years I’ve never had a call like this.” Initially, Kerr thought they wanted to sell coupon books to beneﬁt their school. “We do that with private schools, but only after the Knox County Schools kids have ﬁnished selling. I told the boys they could start selling after Sept. 26, but they said they wanted to help a school that didn’t typically sell many books.” With $7.90 from each $10 book remaining at the school, Ridgedale gained $940.10 from the 119 books sold by Jeff and Chris. Additionally, First Tennessee Bank offers a $1 incentive per book sold over the previous year. Since Ridgedale sold only

Chris Harpending and Jeff Braswell four books last year, First Tennessee kicked in $115, bringing the total to $1055.10. Kerr is so excited. She’s printing a “big check” for the boys to present to administrators at Ridgedale at Tuesday’s ceremony. “They turned in their money and books matching to the penny. Actually, they did better than some of our schools,” she said. “These are great young men. One wants to go to college at Baylor and the other at Vandy.”

Helbig is new tennis coach Christian Academy of Knoxville has hired David Helbig as the new head coach for men’s and women’s tennis. Helbig comes to CAK after recent stints at Cedar Bluff Racquet Club, where he was a professional tennis instructor, and Webb School, where he was an assistant coach. Helbig says he is committed to the spiritual nurturing of young athletes as well as the instruction necessary to secure a winning program. The CAK tennis program has established a tradition of winning at the high school level. Between the girls and boys teams, the Warriors have 26 district championships, 19 regional championships, three state championships and several individual championships. When longtime coach Betsy Sparks announced her intent to step away from the program, it became imperative to find a coach who would continue her tradition of excellence. With new tennis facilities in place, it is a unique opportunity to hire a coach who will train CAK’s athletes and extend his professional training to CAK families and the community. In fact, Helbig will offer lessons for the extended CAK family and community. This will help create a culture of excitement for tennis on campus and increase involvement from year to year. Also, Helbig will work closely with the middle school players to add tennis to the list of sports on campus that are comprehensive from 6th through 12th grade.

However, Hebert realized that her path was meant to be different, and she decided to start her own ďŹ ne art business. A proliďŹ c painter, you can catch her most days working in her studio located in the historic Factory at Franklin. Hebert also studied fine art at The Chelsea School of Art and Design and Central St. Martins School of Art in London, England where she took many different art classes.

An ounce of prevention ... Your life may depend upon it

s we inch upwards of age 50, one piece of advice we too often try to ignore is “Get your colonoscopy.” Dr. Bergein Overholt of Gastrointestinal Associates (GIA) says, “Don’t put this off! Your life may depend upon it.” He and his group feel so strongly about the importance of the exam, they have made a day of it: GIA Screening Colonoscopy Day. The program, now in its third year, provides free colonoscopy exams to a group of people preselected by Interfaith Health Clinic and the Free Medical Clinic of America. GIA has partnered with providers such as Anesthesia Associates of Knoxville, Tennova, Premier Surgical Associates, The Endoscopy Center, Boston Scientific, Interactive Optics, the American Cancer Society and Salix Pharmaceuticals to enable folks who might not otherwise be screened to have this potentially life-saving procedure. But perhaps just as important, GIA Screening Colonoscopy Day helps build awareness throughout the community of the importance of this preventative measure.

“Colon cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in the U.S. and one of the most curable if caught early,” said Overholt. “Screening colonoscopy is the only test that allows us to find and remove abnormal cell growths called polyps from the entire colon.” He ought to know. Overholt pioneered flexible fiberoptic sigmoidoscopy, devel-

oping the instrument which led to modern colonoscopy. As founding partner at GIA, he has fostered a commitment to research for providing the best and most advanced care in gastroenterology. GIA is a national leader in technology for the treatment and diagnosis of gastrointestinal diseases. GIA was the first private practice in the country to develop a state licensed,

Medicare certified, endoscopic ambulatory surgery center (ASC), making gastrointestinal health care more convenient and affordable for patients. Now with three ASC locations in Knoxville, GIA serves as a model for practices around the country. Currently, GIA is pioneering new technologies and procedures for the treatment of Barrett’s esophagus. During the latest GIA Screening Colonoscopy Day, more than half of the 46 patients screened had polyps removed. Though typically benign, some polyps contain a small area of cancer or will develop into cancer over time. Studies have shown that polyp removal has been associated with a 60- to 90-percent reduction in colorectal cancer. These exams are essential to preventing colon cancer for anyone age 50 or older. It is even more important for people with a family history of colon cancer to be screened regularly. “I can’t stress enough just how important this screening is,” said Overholt. “This year, 32 percent of the patients screened during the event had at least one cancerous polyp, and one patient was diagnosed with cancer that arose from a polyp. When we find these polyps early, we can very likely prevent or cure this cancer. And early diagnosis gives those with cancer a fighting chance.” So don’t put it off any longer. In the case of a screening colonoscopy, an ounce of prevention could truly mean a cure.

The Medicare program can be confusing because of its many different parts, supplemental coverage options and specific Medicare enrollment periods for different products. All of these nuances can make Medicare hard to understand for new enrollees as well as for those who have been on the program for a number of years. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re new to the program or even if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a seasoned Medicare veteran, here are six things you should know about the program heading into 2012.

New and existing benefits to help you fill in Medicareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gaps

If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re new to Medicare, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to know that both parts of original Medicare (A and B) have deductibles. And, the Part A deductibles are not tied to a calendar year like they are with traditional health insurance. Instead, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re

New Benefit: Starting in 2011, health care reform requires all Medicare Advantage plans to have a maximum limit of $6,700 on how much a customer can pay out of their own pocket for medical services, excluding the cost of prescription drugs. Each type of supplemen-

tal coverage has different guidelines for when you can enroll, change and cancel your coverage.

There are new Medicare annual enrollment dates Most beneficiaries can change a Medicare Advantage plan or stand-alone Medicare prescription drug plan once per year during Medicareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual enrollment period (AEP). The dates for AEP changed this year, and run from Oct. 15 to Dec. 7 in 2011. Medicare Supplement plans have an initial enrollment period, which occurs in the first six months after you enroll in Medicare Part B and are 65 or older. During that time, you can enroll in a Medicare Supplement plan and not be declined. But, if you try to enroll after the initial enrollment period, your application could be declined based on a review of your medical history. But, if you want to switch

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s critical to compare drug coverage every year PlanPrescriber.com, an Internet company that allows people to compare Medicare plans side-by-side and research benefits, drug prices and different coverage options, looked at 25,000 user sessions on its website during the 2011 AEP (between Nov. 15, 2010, and Dec. 31, 2010). Customers entered their ZIP code; their existing Medicare prescription drug plan or Medicare Advantage drug plan; and the names, dosages and frequency of any prescription drugs they were taking, if any. The siteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prescription drug plan comparison tool found that, on average, a user could save more than $500 per year â&#x20AC;&#x201D; more than $40 per month â&#x20AC;&#x201D; by reviewing their options and changing their prescription drug plan. But, averages donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell the full story. In a recent news article, a MarketWatch reporter compared the cost differences for a single drug in one Georgia ZIP code and found that annual expenses could range from $2,661 to $9,032, depending on which Medicare Advantage plan is chosen.

New to Medicare? According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, out of 523 plans nationwide in 2011, only three received an overall rating of 5, and 74 received an overall rating 4 or 4.5 stars. Heading into 2012 the hope is that more plans will achieve this high 5-star rating. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re lucky enough to have access to a 5-star plan, consider it as an option for your coverage. One benefit of a 5-star plan is that you can enroll at any time, even outside of Medicareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual enrollment period.

Make way for baby boomers qualifying for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Original Medicareâ&#x20AC;? at age 65 That, plus the new dates, means people who wait until the last minute could be putting themselves at risk. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good idea to make a plan and review your coverage for 2012 early. A great place to review and research the different Medicare products available in your ZIP code is www. planprescriber.com. 2012 Medicare annual enrollment period runs from Oct. 15 to Dec. 7, 2011.

Many people who are new to Medicare may have to deal with the complexity of the program. Here are some basics: â&#x2013; Medicare is comprised of four major programs: Part A, Part B, Part C, and Part D. Medicare Part A and Part B are often referred to as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Original Medicare.â&#x20AC;? There are also Medicare Supplement plans, which are designed as an alternative to Part C to fill gaps in Parts A and B. â&#x2013; Generally speaking, Part A covers in-patient hospitalization while Part B covers outpatient services and other medical care. â&#x2013; Part C denotes the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Medicare Advantageâ&#x20AC;? program where private insurance companies deliver Medicare Part A, Part B and, in most cases, Part D benefits to plan enrollees. â&#x2013; Part D is the Medicare prescription drug benefit that provides insurance coverage for medications. â&#x2013; Your circumstances determine when you can enroll in or change Part D and C plans. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Family Features

Keeping your muscles healthy as you age Take control of how you age

id you know you have more than 600 muscles in your body, including your tongue, heart and stomach? When exerted, your muscles pull against your skeleton, causing your bones to become strong and durable. But a lack of exercise and nutrition can compromise your muscle strength, especially as you age. “The average person can lose 8 percent of muscle tissue every 10 years after the age of 40,” says Dr. Vonda Wright, orthopedic surgeon, medical researcher and author of “Fitness After 40.” “When

it comes to muscle, if you don’t use it, you’ll lose it.” In addition to age, a sedentary lifestyle and poor nutrition can lead to loss of muscle. Many people are surprised to learn that a sedentary person may have 40 to 50 percent body fat. On the flip side, muscle burns more calories than fat during daily activities,

including sitting. A serious, temporary illness or injury or a diet lacking proper nutrition, especially protein, can also cause a loss in muscle mass. So muscle loss is not just a concern of the middle-aged or inactive, but for anyone who wants to stay healthy and active. To find out if your muscles are

in good shape, try the push-up test. Men of any age should be able to do 11 and women should be able to complete eight. If you fall short of your goal, don’t despair. You still have time to build muscle strength with these tips: • Feed your muscle. Proteins are the building blocks of muscle. Get your protein daily from meat, poultry, fish, nuts, eggs and beans. You can also augment your diet with healthful protein and nutrition shakes, such as Ensure Muscle Health shakes, which contain Revigor (a source of HMB, an amino-acid metabolite), and 13 grams of protein to help rebuild muscle and strength naturally lost over time. They are perfect for a snack on the go. • Get aerobic exercise. Try to get between 30 to 60 minutes of blood-pumping exercise daily to build muscle endurance. And stretch your muscles before and after to prevent injury.

Parkview Senior Living INDEPENDENT SERVICE

• Carry a load. Resistance training is also essential to keeping your muscles strong and limber and retaining bone density. Use weights or the resistance of your own body weight to build your strength. “We live in an amazing time when we really are able to have some control over how we age,” says Dr. Wright. “In fact, there’s new evidence that boomers and seniors who exercise three to five times a week are able to retain lean muscle like younger athletes. So don’t let your age discourage you from living a healthier, active life today!” For more information about maintaining healthy muscles and to read more of Dr. Wright’s tips, visit www.ensure.com. Then get started rebuilding your muscle strength. After all, this is the only body you have. – StatePoint
