Lights, camera, read! By Ruth White The kindergarten classes at Brickey-McCloud Elementary presented “Alphabet Rescue” adapted from the book by Audrey and Bruce Wood. Students sang snappy tunes and used props to tell a tale of the biggest rescue in town. The show is an opportunity for the kindergarten parents to see the progress of their children and for the students to apply skills learned in the classroom.

Emma Franklin, Alex Cristelous and Weston Wright portray real life heroes during the opening song, “Hero” by Mariah Carey. Other musical numbers performed by the students included “Bye, Bye, Bye,” “Celebrate,” “Ring of Fire” and “Another One Bites the Dust.”

Old school trumps ‘new urbanism’ Southwest elementary recycles Gibbs By Larry Van Guilder Northshore Town Center was conceived as a compact urban neighborhood combining residential and retail establishments that featured innovative architecture.

But the design for a new elementary school, which will become a prominent feature of the development when the school is completed in August 2013, reflects old ideas based on cheap land and outdated acceptance of urban sprawl. The new school’s footprint mimics Gibbs Elementary School. With the exception of its capacity for 200 more students, “It’s exactly like Gibbs,” said Knox County Purchasing Director Hugh Holt. Gibbs Elementary, completed in mid-2000, is a fine facility. But its onestory footprint, suitable where land is plentiful, is out of place in Northshore Town Center. How this “old school” school came to be slated for a neighborhood conceived as a step toward “new urbanism” is a story in itself. Before Cope Associates was selected as the architect for the project and awarded the $542,000 fee, the Knox County Schools system had never used a design competition to select an architect. And although Lanis Cope recently told the Shopper-News that the county wanted to “re-use … (something)

Gibbs Elementary School served to furnish the design template for the new southwest elementary school. Photo by Ruth White already designed,” the solicitation for proposals issued by county purchasing disagrees. In an addendum to the solicitation, Deputy Director of Purchasing Matt Myers wrote: “All designs will be considered. The intent of the competition is to allow consideration of all facilities, including those that have been previously designed and constructed, not to establish a prototypical design.” Cope’s firm designed Gibbs Elementary School, granting Cope a clear advantage over competitors starting from scratch with the costly design phase. Although there is no indication that the evaluation and selection process was biased (the designs were evaluated “blind,” with nothing to identify the submitter), some bidders were not satisfied. One local architect, who asked to remain anonymous, was scathingly critical of the process: “Knox County public schools,

handbook adds that “a well-organized design competition, with selection based on ideas rather than past portfolio,” gives the designer an opportunity to “acquire expertise in a new market or building type.” The original ideas in the winning design are notable only for their absence. The usual suspect, money, is driving the school system’s bus. Replicating Gibbs is the economyminded choice, and a school system already faced with deteriorating buildings around the county can hardly be blamed for its decision. The school as designed is a poor choice architecturally and conceptually for the “new urbanite” Northshore Town Center. For a 2 cent property tax hike, the county could generate more than enough for the school system to pay for a building whose design would reflect something other than “the more things change, the more they stay the same.”

meaning the buildings themselves, are remarkable for their mediocrity. I challenge you to find more than one or two built since 1950 which embody architectural merit. The recent ‘competition’ was simply lip service, the anonymous-submission drawings comprising but two ledger-size sheets, in conjunction with the usual non-anonymous boiler plate. A design competition normally involves original work, which then informs the project design developed by the winner.” The American Institute of Architects (AIA) publishes a handbook, “Architectural Design Competitions,” which is comprehensive in scope, beginning with “appropriate conditions” for a competition and ending with “post-competition activities.” According to the AIA, one of the advantages of design competition is to “generate a wide range of new ideas in the approach to a design.” Ironically, the design competition

Powell Playhouse sets inaugural performance
Give me the cynic “The worst government is the most moral. One composed of cynics is often very tolerant and humane. But when fanatics are on top there is no limit to oppression.â€? Those are the words of my favorite cynic and curmudgeon, the late, great H.L. Mencken, and his observation is as true today as when he wrote it some 90 years ago. This nation’s founders would have appreciated the hard core of truth embedded in those three simple sentences. The opening words of the First Amendment to the Constitution, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion,â€? express a deep appreciation of how toxic the mix of government with religious “moralityâ€? can become. You need look no further than Iran to understand the dangers of theocracy. Yet now, in the 21st century, right here in the Volunteer state and elsewhere, lawmakers with limited respect for the Constitution want to mingle government with religion. It isn’t their finest hour. House Bill 368, brought by state Rep. Bill Dunn, is nothing less than a naked attempt to slip religion and conservative political beliefs in through the back door of the school house. Backed by the Discovery Institute, proponents of “intelligent design,â€? the legislation purports to advocate “critical thinkingâ€? about “some scientific subjects, including, but not limited to, biological evolution, the chemical origins of life, global warming, and human cloning.â€? The causes of global warming and the ethical questions surrounding human cloning (which hasn’t been accomplished – not even close) are issues of national and international policy and are hotly debated. The inclusion of “biological evolutionâ€? and “the chemical origins of lifeâ€? is a ham-handed attempt to bring creationism out of its rightful place in religious teachings and into the classroom under the cloak of “science.â€? Where is Clarence Darrow when we need him? Until he shows up (cloning, anyone?), we can take comfort in another of Mencken’s aphorisms: “The theory behind representative government is that superior men ‌ are chosen to manage the public business, and that they carry on this work with reasonable intelligence and honesty. There is little support for that theory in the known facts. ‌â€? See you next week. Catch every edition of the ShopperNews at www.shoppernewsnow.com.

A couple of months ago I learned through my good friend Nita Buell Black of the existence and creation of the Powell Playhouse. Nita, Buell Black longtime drama teacher at Powell High School, talks of the project with an infectious level of passion that draws anyone hearing her into the fold. A short time after learning of the Powell Playhouse, I was invited to a board meeting held at Frontier Communications. I was amazed at the infrastructure that was already in place for the project. The Powell Playhouse is finally becoming a reality. The first production is John Patrick’s “The Curious Savage,� a delightful comedy involving a woman who inherits a large sum of

government Elected solicitor general could replace state AG Changing the selection procedure for the state attorney general has been debated for the past 45 years in the Legislature. State Rep. Ryan Haynes of Farragut is one of those pushing for a change. With the arrival of a Republican majority in both the House and Senate, it has taken on a new life and is no longer an exercise in futility. Most Tennesseans have little idea about how our attorney general is chosen. Tennessee is the only state in the nation to have its Supreme Court pick, for an eight-year term, the state attorney general. Most states elect their chief legal officer, as he or she makes policy. Tennessee voters are excluded from the process, especially now that the state Supreme Court no longer faces direct contested elections where real issues are debated. Republicans have been unhappy that their party members have been effectively barred from holding the state attorney general’s office as prior courts, being Democratic, chose Democratic applicants. However, Republicans were not the only group to feel slighted. Women and African-Americans were never seriously considered, either. In fact, the process by which the Court in prior years has selected the attorney general has been shrouded in secrecy. Transparency was not there. The votes of three of the five justices were enough to make the choice for the eight-year term. No other state grants its state attorney general such a long tenure. Amending our state constitution is a long, laborious process which, if begun now, might bring about a change seven or

more years in the future, probably in 2018 or 2020. However, legislative Republicans have found a way to make it happen earlier if they can stay together on the issue. They could transfer the current duties of the state attorney general to a newly created position of solicitor general, which could be chosen by the voters in 2012 or 2014. All the current statutory duties of the court-appointed attorney general could be shifted to the elected position, leaving the current AG the job of being the court reporter. Staff would be transferred, too. Republicans have a chance to make history and allow for public participation in a position where Tennessee voters should have a voice. Note: Now that Knoxville’s new and able police chief, David Rausch, has taken office, we found out some changes in pay were made – an issue this column raised weeks ago. Previously there was a $71,000 pay difference between the police ($156,000) and fire chief ($85,000). As of last week, Police Chief Rausch earns $110,000 plus $1,800 for longevity, and Fire Chief Stan Sharp now makes $91,000 plus $1,440 for longevity and $950 for First Responder duties. Now the pay is much closer, but this writer feels both are underpaid considering the responsibility for human lives and public safety they and their colleagues bear.
Hillside and ridgetop workshop set Knox County Commission will meet at 8 a.m. on Wednesday, April 13, in the small assembly room of the City County Building to conduct a workshop on the proposed Hillside and Ridgetop Protection Plan. Designed to familiarize commissioners with the details of the plan, this session is not a public hearing on the plan’s merits.

Mr. Hotline answers your questions The Shopper-News hotline, 1-900-WHO-KNEW, is now in operation. This week we’re featuring answers to some of our most interesting calls. Caller: While standing outside the City County Building last week, I happened to overhear the head of one of the fee offices talking to a Knox County commissioner. I didn’t hear all of the conversation, but I caught a few phrases including “my money” and “my office.” The officeholder was clearly upset. What’s going on, Mr. Hotline? Mr. Hotline: Good question. Before I answer, a word of caution. Unless you’re a PBA security guard or a homeless person, standing idly outside the City County Building could cause you to be mistaken for a reporter and result in serious damage to your reputation. What you overheard is a symptom of what professional journalists label
Larry Van Guilder
“Cognitive Courthouse Confusion.” The syndrome develops following years of drawing paychecks from the county instead of a local car wash, a private sector job which research has shown is a better match for the talents of many infected by CCC. The repeated use of “my” in this case indicates that only two options remain to treat the condition: recall or election defeat. Caller: Whazzup, Mr. Hotline? Any idea why Commissioner Dr. Richard Briggs decided to split his own resolution on the fee offices into two parts at last week’s commission meeting? Mr. Hotline: We’ve received several calls about this. First, although it cer-
tainly appears that Briggs was acting against selfinterest in abusing his own resolution in such a fashion, you must remember that the commissioner is also a surgeon, and a darned good one at that. Thus, in common with most surgeons, he sometimes finds the temptation to cut too hard to resist. In this case, unfortunately, the operation to bifurcate the resolution nearly ended in disaster when Commissioner Amy Broyles threatened to pull the plug. Following resuscitation, the resolution has been confined to bed for 30 days. Caller: You hear a lot of speeches at County Commission, although not as many as when “Lumpy” Lambert was around. Out of all that you’ve heard, do you have a favorite line? Mr. Hotline: Motion to adjourn. Caller: I see that Knox County has a hotline for citizens to report suspected
fraud and abuse by county employees. Aren’t you afraid of the competition, and don’t you agree that the county hotline is a waste of taxpayer money? Mr. Hotline: Afraid? Ha! As to the second part of your question, which county department are you calling from? Caller: I just lost my job. Would this be a good time to apply for a position with Knox County? I have prior government experience. Mr. Hotline: Human resources will consider a number of factors when evaluating your application. These include your former college fraternity, your support for Mike Huckabee and your views on state Rep. Bill Dunn’s bill to promote “critical thinking” in schools. However, with the mayor proposing $3 million in cuts next year, I don’t think you have a chance, Mr. Ragsdale. Contact:lvgknox@mindspring.com.

No one can fairly accuse Jim McIntyre of upholding the status quo. The superintendent’s budget proposal in some ways forms a line of sacred cows and shoots them one by one. My colleague Betty Bean vents about the very idea of outsourcing school cleaning (page 4), but the purpose of the school system is not about providing jobs with benefits. Folks rant about overstaffing at the system’s central office – which by any objective analysis is not overstaffed. So McIntyre cuts 16 positions downtown. And I see on Facebook my old friend Bobbi Wyatt is losing her job. Principals already have a tough time recruiting coaches, yet McIntyre proposes to keep a 2 percent
Sandra Clark
supplement cut initiated last year. Keeping cuts away from classrooms is his mantra. At a budget hearing at West High School last week, someone asked whether we’re funding schools adequately. McIntyre said when he left the Boston system, the budget was $800 million for roughly the same number of kids, about 55,000. Knox County’s budget proposal is a shade less than $385 million. McIntyre takes a very different approach than former Superintendent
Charles Lindsey, who antagonistically pushed county commissioners to fund a “world class” system. McIntyre has secured federal funds (such as Race to the Top) and pumped up the Great Schools Partnership to raise private dollars; he will look at alternatives (such as outsourcing school cleaning); he supports pay incentives for teachers who exceed expectations; he urges citizens to call their federal representatives (named Duncan, Alexander and Corker) to support Title I funding. McIntyre will stand in a school auditorium for two hours to engage with staff and citizens on the budget. He will even take anonymous “tweets” with a bit of help from the central office folks.

Radio show targets
‘The Faithful’ S
everal months ago realty broker Kelly Baker sat in a Chick-fil-A parking lot arguing with God. Baker felt compelled to start a radio show about God’s love, faith and acceptance but had no experience in hosting a radio show and would have to fund the program herself. The opportunity came when she felt the least capable and most vulnerable. She was going through a divorce, feeling like a failure, filled with doubts. “I’d had some broadcasting experience in college, but I wasn’t a radio host. I didn’t know what kinds of questions to ask; I didn’t even own a contemporary Christian CD. I was now a single mother, so where was the money going to come from?” said Baker. Baker took a leap of faith and paid for the programming. “The Faithful” began airing on Sundays at 10 a.m., on the talk-radio station WNOX 100.3 FM, in September. In December, Meg Pierce (her broadcast name) began co-hosting the show with Baker, making “The Faithful” the only show on the station with two female hosts. Pierce said, “We do a wide variety of shows to help our listeners realize that God can’t be put in ‘box.’ We try to show them how He’s working in people’s lives in a multitude of ways – through dif-
ferent places of worship, family life, the arts (drama, music, photography, writing), social action/ community service and even government-funded service, health care, education and finances.” Baker said the show is about faith taking action and that no matter where you are, you’re loved. “Faith is alive: you breathe it, you feed it, you use it,” said Baker. The hosts still find it interesting how they came to work together. The challenge of lining up guests for the show in addition to doing her realty job took its toll on Baker. She requested prayer for her endeavor from her small group at Cokesbury United Methodist. Pierce was a member of Baker’s group at Cokesbury and had a background as a television news reporter and former religious life contributor to Knoxville magazine. Pierce told Baker, “What you need is a producer.” “Did you get that call?” asked Baker. Pierce joined the team, and in the end, the show is the product of Baker, who has “the gift of gab,” Pierce’s contacts and experience preparing substantive questions, and the experience of WNOX production engineer Da-
vid Thompson. The program features a wide range of guests who have stories, ministry or talents that exemplify faith in action and God working across denominational differences. “The Faithful” has featured local singer/songwriter Greg Adkins, covered topics such as addictions with Cornerstone Recovery and talked with Harmony Adoptions about finding parents for children in state custody. Recent guests were pastor Dr. Bill Siell of First Baptist Church of Knoxville and the music director Dr. Kely Hatley. Hatley sang “My Soul Finds Rest,” by Mary McLean. Siell discussed programs such as Kids Hope USA, which pairs mentors with school children. Siell said that Knoxville’s greatest need and opportunity where church groups could work together are by aiding the single parents who fall into the “working poor” category. “They make just enough above the poverty level to disqualify them for government assistance yet don’t really make enough to make ends meet,” he said. Some of these families may not be able to attend church regularly, so churches like First Baptist Church of Knoxville utilize TV and the Internet to reach them. “The

All the future plans hinge on one thing: the continuation of the show. So far, everything has come together except consistent full advertising and sponsorship. They do have some advertisers but not enough to lift all the responsibility of funding from Baker.

ful for us to pay taxes to the emperor, or not?” Jesus may have been the first poker player. He saw their bet. “Show me a denarius,” he said. “Whose head and whose title does it bear?” “The emperor’s,” they answered. And then he raised the ante and effectively silenced them: “Then give to the emperor the things that are the emperor’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” You know this story. You know that the scribes and chief priests saw he had beaten them, and slunk off. I have always understood the point to be “Give what is due to those who govern, but give your heart to God.” David T. Ball (in an article in Bible Review, April, 2003) says, “The key to understanding this passage is in grasping the analogy that Jesus is making when he
holds up the coin. If coins are Caesar’s because they bear Caesar’s likeness and inscription, then by analogy what bears God’s likeness and inscription? “It is this second implied question that modern readers neither ask nor try to answer. But a Jewish audience familiar with the Torah would have recognized what Jesus was suggesting. They would have known it is we human beings who bear God’s likeness, for … God created man in his ‘image and likeness.’ (Genesis 1:26)” Ball goes on to say then that what Jesus means is “that one may owe taxes to Caesar, but one owes one’s very being to God … His point is not that they should pay their taxes like dutiful Roman citizens; his point is that they should be rendering their selves to God. When it comes to what people owe God, Jesus is saying, we are all in the very highest tax bracket. …”

Behind the football scene TALES OF TENNESSEE | Marvin West
D
erek Dooley is obviously the face of Tennessee football. The head coach is very definitely the captain of the Volunteer enterprise and manager of all details, large, medium and small. Assistant coaches don’t do a lot of tall talking but they are not hidden. Perhaps you have seen them a few times and read or heard their occasional comments. They are very valuable and are paid well but don’t say much for public consumption. Graduate assistant Chino Fontenette doesn’t say anything. Behind the coaching staff in the carefully organized UT organization is a layer of key support people. They are very real and useful, perhaps vital. They are almost never in the news. Director of football operations is Brad Pendergrass, Dooley’s firm right hand in the office, responsible for many projects and the implementation of an assortment of Derek
ideas. Brad, 34, has an interesting background, 10 years behind the scenes with Phillip Fulmer, from student manager to key recruiting aide on campus. I recall when he had a large U.S. map on his office wall with all airports clearly identified. One of his missions then was to land the coach as close as possible to target prospects. Reduce driving time. Smart, very smart. Pendergrass eventually moved on to the football office at Mississippi State and then to Wisconsin before returning home. Heather Ervin is assistant director of football operations. This Sweetwater woman attends to the several things – housing, summer jobs, academic monitoring, game management. She helps with recruiting when prospects visit. She is the outfront connection when parents come around. She played basketball at Troy U. Kris Ann Hawkins, director
of on-campus recruiting, coordinates correspondence with prospects. A few years ago, she started the Orange Pride program, an ensemble of sharp students who served as university ambassadors. A couple of members, supposedly out of bounds during the adventures of Lane Kiffin, Ed Orgeron and David Reaves, attracted the attention of NCAA investigators. That Kris Ann is still here means she didn’t have anything to do with the missteps. Andre Lott is a bit more visible. This former Volunteer defensive back, a team captain in 2001, is coordinator of the very promising Vol for Life program – all about football players’ personal growth, life skills, career plans plus character and spiritual development. Lott’s job is to explain the concept, promote it, sell it, support and encourage and provide other leadership as needed. The better Lott does, the greater the projected benefits for all concerned – individuals, team, university, community, state, country and maybe the world. Vols for Life could be really big. Jason McVeigh is director of sports medicine. That is a sophisticated title for what used to be the team trainer. He is who Vols see when they are sick or hurting. He also does preventive maintenance. Big-league
like, “Who said having eggs is a blessing?’ All this setting does eventually come to an end, and as in human families, that’s when things really get lively. It takes six weeks for the fluffy, goofy and nearly helpless hatchlings to become full-sized, feathered creatures, ready to be taught the skills of flying and hunting for a living. All that growing that happens in just six short weeks (imagine growing a newborn infant to a high-schooler in nine months!) requires lots of feeding, a really whole lot of feeding. So then you watch the scope every day to see what delicacies the parent birds bring in for lunch – lizards, rats, big snakes – yummy stuff. At first the parents carefully nip off bits of meat and poke it in the little fluff-balls’ mouths. But, as the young ones grow and get stronger, hungrier and more quarrelsome, (sound familiar?) the parents just toss the prey into the nest and let them go at it. And then one fine day, amidst a lot of calling and shrieking and flapping, off the nest they come, out into the big world. You can only wonder at what it must be like to take your first leap off that nest and feel the air holding you up as you look around at everything you’ve been watching all the six weeks of your life now going by beneath you. Young raptors aren’t born knowing how to hunt; they have to be taught by their parents. And estimates by the experts are that only about one in four succeed in learning their skills well enough to survive. It’s evident in the ones we’ve observed. Some

My Granny Collier would have called it “setting.” Actually, Spouse and I aren’t doing the setting; it’s a big mama red-shouldered hawk and her helpful mate doing the work. But we’re watching and waiting right along with them. They have been raising a family in our woods every spring for seven years now. It’s like having a nest of wrens or robins, on an industrial scale. Sometimes they remodel and reuse the previous year’s nest, but this year they decided (undoubtedly the mama bird decided) to start over on a new nest. They began a month ago, high up in a big wild cherry tree. I first caught on to the new accommodations when I saw one of the birds out in a spruce tree in the side yard, near the house. I thought she might be checking on our feeders for a possible quick snack, but, no, she was plucking selected green-needled twigs from the tree. With a beak full, off she flew. Aha! Nest building. Once we found the nest construction site, we could put the old 20x spotting scope on it from our foyer and just leave it there to
qualifications: honors graduate in biology from UT in ’96 plus masters in physical therapy from Duke. McVeigh joined the UT staff in the Fulmer era, moved up at the first opportunity and survived coaching changes. There is no greater recommendation of training skills. Dr. Chris Klenck is team physician. He has degrees from Purdue and Indiana and the stamp of approval from Peyton Manning. Klenck was once a medical assistant with the Indianapolis Colts. He has worked at NFL scouting combines and NCAA championship events. Not incidentally, he was the chief resident physician at Indiana University Medical Center before joining the Vols. Allison Maurer has an interesting task, persuading Volunteers to eat more broccoli and spinach and less biscuits and gravy. She is team nutritionist, a relatively unique position. A few hundred schools don’t have one. Allison has a serious job. She is responsible for healthy diets and who eats what when the goal is weight gain or loss, depending on whether Dooley wants a particular player for defensive tackle or wide receiver. Roger Frazier is equipment manager. He has been around
watch daily progress and goingson as we went back and forth. In addition to big and small sticks fussily placed, positioned, and arranged, there were lots of evergreen sprigs woven in, spruce and cedar. Several people have suggested that the aromatic twigs might help keep bugs away, like in your cedar-lined closet. Maybe so. But now comes the boring part: setting. At least incubating human mamas can get out and about while the neat little package is developing. If you’re a bird, though, you have to watch those eggs like a hawk, so to speak. Crows, blue jays and squirrels just love unattended birds’ eggs. And, the eggs have to be kept constantly warm in the chilly, damp March and April weather. It takes 28 days for the rascals to hatch, and the parents share the setting duties. We’ve seen the changing of the guard. One bird will fly in, they will shuffle around for a minute or two, then the setting one will fly away, and the relieving one will settle down on the eggs. We watched the poor, faithful, determined bird on the evening of the March 26 as the heavy winds blew and the rain poured down. You could almost read its mind, something

Roger is responsible for pads and hard hats, sleek britches and three or more colors of jerseys. He assists adidas in new product development. Joe Harrington has been technology coordinator for only 20 years. This magician compiles and edits game and practice video for coaches.

The former quarterback, among the most exciting in history, is an assistant athletic director in charge of player relations. He is the link to former lettermen.

seem to get it, some don’t. We had one year when the two full-sized young hawks apparently thought they were robins. They would sit around on the lawn, watch the robins, and pick around looking for worms, much to the dismay of the parents, who would hop, flap and call, trying to get them to come and learn lizard-catching, or some other useful hawk skill. Goodness knows what became of that pair. As I write, one of the birds is settled down in the new nest, looking around, glad that the sun is shining today but longing to be soaring in the blue morning sky. Take heart, bird, they’ll be off the nest in just two months. We wish you good fortune with your new family.
News item: The high season of birding is at hand. Spring migration, courtship and nesting will be happening in the next couple of months. Join Tony Headrick and numerous other birders, beginner to skilled, on Sharp’s Ridge on some Thursday mornings in April. They will meet at the old ranger’s house at 7:30 or so, on April 15, 22, and 29. There will be lots of good birds to be seen; stay for 30 minutes or two hours, as you wish. And don’t forget how close you are to other great birding places: Chuck Swan Wildlife Management Area, Ijams Nature Center, Norris Songbird Trail, the newlypaved Cades Cove loop and your own neighborhood. Hooray for spring!

Serving Knoxville as One Nonprofit initiative unites churches By Natalie Lester Every community in Knoxville could use improvement and that is exactly what nonprofit Operation InAsMuch plans to do with the Serving Knoxville as One initiative this Saturday, April 9. “A lot of people want to help and improve the community, but they don’t know how,” said LaVerne Craig,

Saluting local business and entrepreneurial excellence April in East Tennessee brings us many traditions, such as the Dogwood Arts Festival, the Orange and White game, and the Junior Achievement Business Hall of Fame, where the local business community turns out to honor men and women “whose inspirational leadership has shown business excellence and courageous thinking,” according to Junior Achievement of East Tennessee. Begun in 1989, the Hall of Fame boasts a list of laureates that reads like an East Tennessee Who’s Who of captains of industry, and on April 14 at the Downtown Marriott, three new well deserving inductees will join this prestigious list. Dee Bagwell Haslam took the helm of her father’s business in 1999. Since then, she and business partner Robert Lundgren have transformed RIVR Media into an Emmy-award winning vertically integrated production company responsible for iconic programming includ-

firstforward ing “Trading Spaces” and “Whale Wars.” In 2000 they established RIVR Media Interactive which offers a broad range of Internet-related services. Dr. Lynn Massingale has served as CEO of TeamHealth since 1980 when he co-founded Southeastern Emergency Physicians, TeamHealth’s predecessor. Since then, TeamHealth has grown to become a 9,000 employee, New York Stock Exchange company that is one of the largest and most respected providers of clinical outsourcing services in the U.S., with around 1,000 employees at its Knoxville headquarters. Alex “Bo” Shafer celebrated 50 years with Shafer Insurance last December, a
company started by his father, Alex, that is now run by his son, Andy. One of East Tennessee’s oldest independent insurance agencies, Shafer Insurance prides itself on longterm relationships with their customers. But it’s for commitment to the community through service and example that Bo Shafer is best known. A past Kiwanis International president, Shafer continues to champion myriad community causes tirelessly as a “servant with a heart.” Junior Achievement serves thousands of students across East Tennessee each year and we at First Tennessee are proud to co-sponsor the simulated bank in JA BizTown, an interactive learning experience that exposes students to the realities of working and budgeting. The Business Hall of Fame is important both in saluting local business and entrepreneurial excellence and in raising funds to support JA’s work. More information about the event can be found at http://easttennessee. ja.org/ or by calling 457-2461.
