Big vote at school board tonight

Meeting Santa

School board members don’t get paid enough to endure all of this drama. The board’s vote tonight (Dec. 9) surely weighs heavily on each member. On one hand, Dr. Jim McIntyre expects his contract to be extended for a year (until 2017). After all, the county’s test scores were higher than ever. Things are going great. Right? Ahhh. There’s the rub.

Opponent for Campfield There’ll be no rest for Stacey Campfield this coming election season, even if he’s successful in fending off Dr. Richard Briggs in the Republican Primary.

evergreen Christmas By Cindy Taylor What’s black and white and red all over? A Noweta Garden Club Christmas party, of course. Members came decked out in their Christmas finery for the Dec. 3 meeting at Riverside Grille. Regena Richardson

opened the program with devotions and a reading of “One Solitary Life.” Richardson was awarded a lifetime membership to the Tennessee Federation of Garden Clubs by Noweta members for her devotion and dedication to the club. “I don’t know what I

would have done this past year without her and no one in this room is more deserving,” said club president Peggy Jones. “Even when I boo-booed she could fi x it.” Club members brought evergreens that aren’t green for show and tell.

The horticulture display included Nandina, Hen and Chicks, Gold Dust, Dusty Miller, Blue Star, Loropetalum, Blue Atlas Cedar and Blue Rug, a small example of evergreens that display varying colors in the fall. Club members presented Peggy Jones with a dwarf evergreen as a thank you for her first year of service as president.

Dirty Santa reared its head as members exchanged, then shopped (stole) the gift of their choice. The Jan. 7 meeting at Beaver Creek Cumberland Church will include a design and critique session. Noweta Garden Club meets each first Tuesday at 10 a.m. Locations vary with the season. Info: pjones1@ frontier.com.

New dog park downtown By Ruth White The Wood family of South Knoxville has given the city of Knoxville four acres of land to provide a new location for the KPD’s K-9 kennel as well as property for a public dog park. “We have one of the finest K-9 units in the nation and my dad (the late Pat Wood) always taught his children to be good stewards of what we had. This land will help house and train the K-9 unit,” said Kim Wood McClamroch. She attended with her son, Michael, and her sister and brother-in-law, Debbie and Robert Hyde. Mayor Madeline Rogero accepted the gift during a press event with KPD chief David Rausch and Legacy Parks Foundation director

Carol Evans. The property is across from the Public Safety Building on Howard Baker Jr. Avenue. The park, accessible to the public, will be adjacent to the kennel, but the two facilities will be separate. The kennel will feature a training area, exercise area and administration building. Its proximity to the Safety Building makes it handier than the current location on Prosser Road. The wooded lot will provide a unique urban dog park with shade, mature trees and agility equipment. The property is being donated to Legacy Parks Foundation, which will work with the city to of nearly 100 acres off Sevierville develop both projects.

Greenback woman finds the right treatment at Fort Sanders Regional What do you do when every bite of food causes pain in your abdomen? For years, Edna Moles of Greenback, 69, endured pain after eating. “I had severe stomach pain for years, but it continually got worse. Any time I ate or drank I had stomach pain,” she said. After several tests by her primary doctor and a gastroenterologist, Moles was diagnosed with mesenteric (or intestinal) artery disease. This occurs when the blood vessels (arteries) to the intestines become severely narrowed, or even blocked. The symptoms include painful abdominal cramps after eating, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Patients may also have unintended weight loss as the lack of adequate blood flow inhibits the intestine’s ability to absorb and digest food. This leads to progressive malnutrition and starvation. A lifethreatening situation develops if the blood flow becomes so restricted that the intestines can no longer survive. Atherosclerosis (hardening and narrowing of arteries) of the intestinal arteries develops from the same risk factors as coronary (heart) and peripheral arterial disease (PAD), but it is much less common (1 out of 100,000 persons/year). Patients share the same risk factors – smoking, hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol and family history of arterial disease. “I’ve never been heavy, but I was losing weight. You know you get concerned when things like that start happening. But I had gotten to the point where every-

thing I ate caused me to hurt,” said Moles. “I was living on yogurt because it didn’t hurt my stomach.” In Moles’ case, blood flow had also been severely restricted to her liver and small and large intestines. She was referred to Dr. Richard Young, a vascular surgeon at Fort Sanders Regional

When ‘Plop Plop Fizz Fizz’ isn’t enough

Everyone has occasional heartburn, bloating, diarrhea or constipation. But when those symptoms persist, they may be signs of signiﬁcant digestive disease. Digestive diseases affect an estimated 70 million people in the United States each year, according to the National Institutes of Health. Two digestive diseases that are common in the United States are colon cancer and GERD, gastroesophageal reﬂux disease. “These two are among the most important to screen patients for,” says Fort Sanders gastroenterologist Dr. Muhammed Iqbal.

Medical Center. “Dr. Young assured me he knew what to do, and he even drew me a picture,” Moles said. “He said, ‘You’re facing a very serious surgery and it’s a long recovery, but we can do it.’ He saved my life.” In September 2013, Dr. Young performed mesenteric arterial bypass surgery on Moles at Fort Sanders. “It’s not a commonly performed vascular bypass operation as stents are now treating the majority of mesenteric arterial problems,” Dr. Young said. “Typically, we may only perform two or three of these bypass operations per year, and sometimes a vascular surgeon can go a whole year without performing one. Endovascular therapies (angioplasty/ stents) are often the first-line of therapy we offer for treatment of symptomatic mesenteric arterial disease; however, some patients have such extensive disease that a stent is not an option.” Using a synthetic artery, Dr. Young bypassed Mrs. Moles’ blocked mesenteric arteries, creating new routes of blood flow to the intestines, stomach, liver and spleen. “The principles are the same.

It’s a blockage and we’re going around it,” explained Dr. Young. “For severe disease involving multiple arteries, surgery, as opposed to stent/angioplasty, remains the best therapy.” A stent is a small metallic mesh tube inserted into a narrowed or blocked artery to prop it open. A stent is less invasive since it does not require an incision to expose the artery, as is required with a bypass. “A stent in a leg or coronary artery behaves differently than a stent in a mesenteric artery,” Dr. Young said. “Unfortunately,

recommend a stent or bypass,” Dr. Young further explained. “I never had to go to Fort Sanders as a patient before, but I was really impressed with the care and the concern they showed toward the patient,” Moles said. “They regard you as family, and I loved it.” Moles spent about a week in the hospital, but today she is home and recovering quickly. She walks regularly and is enjoying two newborn greata stent placed in a mesenteric grandchildren. “They’re beautiartery will typically re-stenose or ful, identical twin girls,” she said. “I still have some pain from narrow within one to two years and requires repeat stenting/an- the surgery,” said Moles. “But it’s not pain from eating, and it’s getgioplasty. “Occasionally, surgical bypass ting better as time goes on.

The event was free. “General manager Mike Byrd started this and we have two sessions here and two in Grainger County each year,” said technical supervisor John Bayless. “This is something we love to do for the community.” Byrd loves the role he plays since he gets to wear the “special” suit during the event. Some kids hopped right up onto Santa’s lap and others left in tears. “Don’t be afraid,” Sophia Falynne Moore and Sophia Maschak were excited to see Santa Maschak, 3, told her new at Frontier Communications. friend Falynne Moore, 2. “It’s not scary.” Kids who missed this event have another chance to catch Santa at Frontier from 2-4 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 11. ■

No thanks for McGinnis The Thanksgiving week firing of KAT general manager Cindy McGinnis, 57, has to rank high for tone deafness by the Rogero Administration. No matter what the $39,000 Gobis KAT study may have recommended, why pick Thanksgiving week as the time to give a high level

Victor Ashe

employee the pink slip? This all occurred due to the cancellation of the KAT contract with Veolia on Nov. 30 (the day after Thanksgiving). McGinnis had just eight days’ notice. She was not even given a farewell reception or personal note by anyone for seven years of service. Mayor Rogero informed her in the hallway of O’Connor Senior Center on Nov. 20 that the contract would be ended. According to McGinnis, the mayor said, “You know we have had our differences.” That’s an unprofessional way to treat a professional 7-year employee with whom there was a disagreement. McGinnis lives with her husband on Tobler Lane near West High School. While Rogero issued a statement praising McGinnis, that glosses over the reality of the Rogero-McGinnis disputes over federal grants which go back to the summer. The mayor has the right not to renew the contract, but the delivery was poor. Basically, the Gobis report recommends abolishing the KAT board, letting city council set the bus fares and routes and the city directly handle union negotiations. City council should think twice before taking over bus routes and fares. Unions will have a bigger voice in setting salaries if they can discuss these issues directly with a mayoral appointee. Gobis never interviewed a KAT board member including the chair and vice chair in its so-called study, yet they claim they did. Melissa Roberson who is the interim replacement for McGinnis will be paid

$91,000 a year. McGinnis declined to disclose her salary. ■ Mike Cherry: Another longtime city employee is leaving a critical position. He is Mike Cherry, 65, executive director of the Knoxville city pension board. He completes 16 years this year and a retirement reception is being held for him 2-4 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 12, at the Pension Board office, 917 East Fifth Avenue. Public is invited. Cherry lives in Grainger County on a farm and has not decided on his retirement plans. I was chair of the pension board when he was hired and believe his service for four mayors in these 16 years was exemplary and critical during challenging times. He is proud of having developed an annual statement to each current employee on the pension plan. Currently there are roughly 2,000 persons drawing a city pension. Half of those are former city teachers. He was paid $110,000 annually when he retires, and his successor, Kristi Paczkowski, makes the same salary. Paczkowski, 44, lives with her two twin sons in West Knox County off Northshore Drive. A graduate of Carson-Newman University in 1991, she formerly worked at Pugh and Co. She also worked on several audits of the pension board. She is the first woman to hold this position. ■ Fort Kid: It looks like the effort to save Fort Kid from demolition has succeeded with Mayor Rogero and civic activist Beth Waters meeting at Fort Kid along with Joe Walsh, Christi Branscom and Alexander Waters (attorney son of Beth). Rogero asked Waters to present plans on using the $65,000 trust fund she manages for Fort Kid to rehab the site and structure. Waters will do this and it seems like Fort Kid will continue for another 20 years providing a playground for young children. Common sense prevailed and kudos to the mayor for seeing this. Fort Kid was built in 1991 over five days with hundreds of community volunteers including 12,000 pennies raised by school children.

Campfield draws Democratic opponent There’ll be no rest for Stacey Campfield this coming election season, even if he’s successful in fending off Dr. Richard Briggs in the Republican Primary. The Shopper-News has learned that Fountain Citian Cheri Siler will be a candidate in the Democratic Primary for the 7th District state senatorial seat next year. A respected teacher who is now a high school mathematics instructional coach at Carter, South-Doyle and the L&N STEM Academy, Siler describes herself as “a mom first,” which is not surprising, considering that she and her husband Stanley (owner of Volunteer Paving) are parents of six children ranging from 20 to 12. Her reason for running is classic Americana:

Betty Bean “I am very interested in education issues, and have been extremely disappointed in our representation at the state level from Stacey Campfield. I’ve complained about it, and kept asking, ‘How does he get re-elected?’ I’ve decided that if I’m going to complain, I need to do something about it.” Siler’s parents, Larry and Donna Edwards, owned the Edwards Restaurants in Halls and West Knoxville. Officially a 1989 graduate of West High School, she spent the ’88-89 school year at the University of Tennessee as a freshman. She was 16 when she entered college

under an early admissions program for gifted students. She majored in business administration and graduated in 1991, married later that year and moved to Georgia, where she took a job as an accounts payable clerk. The marriage lasted 5 years and produced four children. After her divorce, she returned to Knoxville and remarried the following year. She returned to UT to study for a master’s degree in mathematics education and eventually took a temporary job at Central High School, working under principal Jon Miller, who offered her a permanent position at the end of the year. She stayed at Central for 10 years until she was hired as a “numeracy coach,” working with teachers on instructional strategy and

professional development. “When I was in high school, I wanted to be a math teacher, but lots of people said to me, ‘You’ll never make any money as a teacher. Don’t do it,’” she said. When she decided to do more, she reached out to state Rep. Gloria Johnson, then a colleague at Central, and asked what she’d need to do to run for state senate. Johnson was enthusiastic and helpful, and Siler says she’s ready for what’s ahead. “I’m not afraid of hard work. I am for writing reasonable laws that are in the best interests of the children and teachers in our community.” She expects to appoint a treasurer and have a website soon.

The school board’s big vote School board members don’t get paid enough to endure all of this drama. The board’s vote tonight (Dec. 9) surely weighs heavily on each member. On one hand, Dr. Jim McIntyre expects his contract to be extended for a year (until 2017). After all, the county’s test scores were higher than ever. Things are going great. Right? Ahhh. There’s the rub. Depends on who’s talking. Teachers are stressed, most are angry, others feel defeated. All feel disrespected as professionals. There are more than 3,000 teachers and they’ve all got families. Principals can’t feel that solid. When your school earns reward status one year and you’re busted back to assistant principal the next, that can’t make for job security. Parents are beginning to speak out about excessive testing, particularly for really young kids. Parents might be even more

Sandra Clark

alarmed if the Internet rumors about the Tripod test are accurate. “How many adults live in your house?” Really? “Do you speak English at home?” Really? The school board signaled Dr. McIntyre that it didn’t want the Tripod test used as a component of the teachers’ evaluation. OK, but he administered the test anyway, and it cost the district $100,000. On Sept. 22, I wrote to board members Karen Carson and Indya Kincannon, criticizing McIntyre’s personnel practices, specifically the churning of principals and even whole school faculties, such as at Vine. “(Dr. McIntyre’s) explanations are not satisfactory. I realize he’s limited in what

he can say about personnel, but I believe each school community should have input and buy-in on the chief administrative officer at its school. “School staff should be treated with respect and not as interchangeable pieces of some cosmic puzzle. “I support remediation for and removal of teachers who can’t or won’t pick up the pace. “But we’re way too invested in testing ... Jim sees a community unhappy with KCS and expecting a remarkable surge in test scores. That’s just not true. “Most folks are happy with the system, support their local school and want their kids safe, respected and challenged.” I wrote this privately to Indya and Karen in September, before teachers started speaking at school board meetings, before the six Insight Sessions sponsored by Knox County Schools. The anger/frustration expressed in each of those In-

sight Sessions was remarkable. The anger/frustration from teachers, students and parents at the November and December school board meetings was huge. Knox County needs a cooling off period so everyone can relax. Dr. McIntyre has pushed too hard, too fast. Things are not going well in Knox County Schools. That’s why the board needs to give Dr. McIntyre a year to fi x things. His contract already runs until 2016. There’s no need to extend it for another year. Who else has that sort of job security? Well, maybe football coaches. Let’s give Jim McIntyre a chance to get it right. There’s plenty of time for a contract extension next year. But if the school board extends his contract for another year today, they will signal their belief that things are going great with Knox County Schools. And that’s a reflection on each board member’s ability to listen and understand.

1978. In answer to my first question, the business is good but the partnership has ended. Art has retired. In answer to question 2, Art can’t recall when he last talked with Jack. Once upon a time, Art told a Jack story which still sums up his thoughts. “Nothing ever changes with Jack. When our parents visited the islands years ago, the Jeep was broken, the boat wouldn’t start and the motorcycle had a flat tire. “Jack is always fixing things but he can’t find used parts and when he does, they cost too much.”

Answer 3: Son Garrett Reynolds, 6-7 and 310, is in his fifth season as an offensive guard for the Atlanta Falcons. He was in the news not long ago. Carter High School retired his number. Garrett is the only former Green Hornet in the NFL. Art remains calm but does blink when he thinks what else might have been. Tennessee, then as now, had a giant recruiting budget and was chasing all over the country searching for talent. Garrett Reynolds was 11 miles away. We know he was big enough. He was an excellent student, good citizen, quality person. Maybe he lacked quickness. UT did not offer a scholarship. Garrett settled for the North Carolina Tar Heels.

He made all-ACC. He was drafted in the fifth round. He remains a good citizen. By my standards, he is rich. Art just smiles at the memory of “Art’s long run,” 96 yards with an interception against Memphis State in 1972, second longest pick six in school history. Yes, he says, it took a “long” time to run from point A to point B. Nobody ever accused Art of being a speedster. Determined? Tenacious? Leather tough? Yes, yes and yes. Good guy, good craftsman, used to be good at installing ductwork and Rheem products, good dad, Vol for life. Nice to see you, Art.

Many will remember “Bill Walkup Writes,” the Knoxville Journal columns, more than 1,300 of them, which appeared each Saturday from 1957 to 1983. They ranged from seasonal weather reports and predictions to the importance of education to the rewards of thrift, and often discussed how to “make someone happy.” Home Federal printed 10,000 copies of the book “The Best of Bill Walkup” (100 of his best columns) in his memory in 1986. Proceeds from the sale of the book went to his favorite charities, the Milk Fund and the Empty Stocking Fund. One year each of the two funds netted $12,500 from those sales. On Dec. 23, 1972, his column titled “Christmas Remembrances” summarized his philosophy of giving back to his family, friends and community: “‘I’ll be home for Christmas’ is a line that tugs at the cords of the heart. I remember when our children were off in school that I could hardly wait for their arrival for the holidays. All

over the world, mothers and fathers look with keen anticipation to the arrival of their children and grandchildren. “In life’s scramble, families are scattered hither and yon; and for a few precious days they come together for a short, short season of happiness. “Christmas is not just a season for the young – it is for all ages. It is a time for joy. But when one is away from home and loved ones, the joy of the throng rushing by increases their sadness. “Christmas is more than mistletoe, holly and candles. It is a time of giving and sharing. ‘He gave his only begotten.’ Christmas is His son’s birthday. There is one sure way to have a Happy Christmas. That way is to cause or to help someone else to have a Happy Christmas. That involves giving, not receiving – no, not even exchanging presents. But without any thought of return. In so many instances, what is needed money cannot buy. It is being remembered that counts. … “Some act of kindness,

some token that you have not forgotten may draw aside the heavy, dark curtains of gloom and flood Christmas with sunshine for an elderly person, a bereaved wife or a mother. In our pleasant parties may we not forget someone who wants to be remembered with only a little love or attention.” William C. Walkup passed away Dec. 21, 1983, at Ridgefield, his beloved home on Black Oak Ridge, the former home of Charles J. McClung (1866-1932). He was predeceased by his wife, the former Ann Crowell, in 1978, and his son, William James, in 1982; and survived by his two daughters, Charlotte Fuller and Myra Coleman, and three grandchildren. After services at Rose Mortuary, he was interred in Highland Memorial Cemetery. Bill Walkup will be remembered for his expertise in business based on fair dealing and honesty, his keen sense of humor, his exemplary philosophy of life, and his service to his church and his community.

Remembering Bill Walkup William Childress “Bill” Walkup passed away 30 years ago this month. It seems like only a short time ago that I received a GI loan to buy a first home financed by his institution, then known as Home Federal Savings and Loan. Walkup was born Aug. 5, 1903, the son of the Rev. William J. and Anna Duncan Walkup, in Lawrenceburg, Tenn. Bill attended Bill Walkup the Duncan Preparatory School for Boys in Nashville, founded by his mother’s brother, Dr. Marvin T. Duncan. He then attended Emory University in Atlanta for a year before transferring to Vanderbilt, where he majored in Greek with a minor in Latin. He graduated in 1923 and went to work for a Nashville

lumber company but soon transferred to Asheville to work for the Central Bank and Trust. After a stint with Franklin Guarantee Co. in Johnson City, he became an examiner for the Tennessee Department of Insurance and Banking. He came to Knoxville to liquidate the old East Tennessee Building and Loan Association, which had failed in the Great Depression. Walkup joined Home Federal in 1938 as secretary but became president in 1941 with the death of its longtime president, Joseph P. Gaut. The bank’s total resources were $800,000 when he arrived and, at the time of his death, had grown

to 15 branches, 240 employees and assets of more than $660 million. He became a national officer in the U.S. Savings and Loan League. In addition he served in many local civic and religious causes: chair of the 100-member speaker’s bureau of the Knoxville District Laymen’s Association of the Methodist Church, chair of the Knox County Heart Sunday, chair of the Knox County Chapter of the American Red Cross and director of the Boys’ Club. He rarely missed a meeting of the Kiwanis Club and served as its president and as district governor. Walkup was a longtime member of the Board of Stewards of Central United Methodist Church, a frequent board chair, chair of the church finance committee and a Sunday school teacher. He was proud that his firm financed more than 100 church buildings in the Knox area and beyond.

The ‘Stardust’ of a song The sounds of Hoagy Carmichael’s “Stardust” – my favorite song – came wafting from the auditorium at the Beck Cultural Exchange Center on a rainy afternoon.

Jake Mabe MY TWO CENTS It was played as it was meant to be heard, on classic RCA vinyl, as part of Robert Booker’s Vintage Music Listening Party. Booker read an article about Piqua, Ohio, the home of the original Mills Brothers and decided to invite a few friends over to listen to records. That’s what you used to do, you see, back before MTV or the Internet or iPods came to be. “People are always complaining,” says Booker, the Center’s executive director and a popular newspaper columnist. “The radio stations ignore us. They never play any vintage music.” Booker brought his own records, 45 and 33 1/3 rpms,

so many he’s lost count. He knows he owns 4,500 top 10 tunes and keeps redmarked chart books to remember what he’s bought.

His earliest record is from 1906, a recording by Bert Williams, who Booker says was the first black Broadway star.

The theme was musical groups, so Booker played The Mills Brothers, of course, and also The Tommy Dorsey Orchestra, The Ink Spots, The Four Tops, The McGuire Sisters and more. Dressed in a burgundy sport coat and a red tie, Booker worked two turntables and served as MC. “I’ve heard CDs in night clubs, but I’ve never played one. I just keep my records in their jackets.” Before he plays them, he cleans the vinyl with 70 percent isopropyl alcohol. “You see people blow

She was hoping Booker would play Percy Sledge’s “When A Man Loves A Woman.” Rebecca Davidson of Fountain City said she was interested in the Beck Center and is a fan of anything by Ella Fitzgerald. Bob played The Platters’ “Smoke Gets In Your Eyes,” and suddenly I was at the sock hop with Ron Howard and Cindy Williams in “American Graffiti.”

So much of this music harkens back to the days before America’s perceived innocence was blasted into oblivion on a dreadful November day in Dallas, 1963. “Compare this with today’s music,” Booker says. “There’s a world of difference. I hear little melody and there’s nothing hummable about it.” But for a few moments last Thursday, our love was new, each kiss was an inspiration and I found my consolation in the stardust of a song. “Pull Up A Chair” with Jake Mabe at jakemabe.blogspot.com.

Christmas worship at First Baptist Powell

faith

By Cindy Taylor

A fallen, broken world

First Baptist Church of Powell will hold two special programs this Christmas season. At 6 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 15, the church will present “A Praise and Worship Christmas of Peace, Hope and Joy.” The annual Christmas Eve service will begin at 5 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 24, and will have a bluegrass flavor. The programs will include an orchestra, praise team and 80-voice choir directed by Stephen Burnett. “We call these programs Christmas celebrations since we are celebrating the birth of Jesus,” said Amanns. “These will be worship services.” Jacquie Bell has done an amazing job painting giant winter backdrops for the programs. “We like to keep the sets

And you, child, will be called the prophet of the Most High; for you will go before the Lord to prepare his ways, to give knowledge of salvation to his people by the forgiveness of their sins. By the tender mercy of our God, the dawn from on high will break upon us, to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace. (Luke 1: 76-79 NRSV)

So, I strung popcorn and cranberries and hung them in swags around the tree. That helped some. Then I bought some red felt ribbon and tied bows on the branches.

Cross Currents

Lynn Pitts trayed continents. Part of its charm was its delicacy. You may have noticed I am speaking of it in the past tense. That is because I dropped it. It broke into three pieces. I was horrified, but I laid it aside and finished decorating the tree. Lewis assured me he could glue it back together. It has been lying on my desk awaiting its resurrection. But with the perspective of the passage of a few days, I am considering just hanging the largest piece on the tree. It was my pastor in my first church job who taught me a great life rule: “When the cookie crumbles, pick up the biggest piece and enjoy it.” After all, the brokenness of the world is the whole reason we celebrate Christmas. God (who had been down this road before, in the Garden of Eden) saw a fallen, broken world, and decided to do something to about it. Prophets had been ignored, ridiculed and murdered. God decided to send us the gift of His son, not as a conquering hero, but as a tiny babe. A baby who would put this fallen, broken world back together. It is a work in progress, and we are called to be coconspirators in this project. So I suggest that you hang a broken ornament on your tree this year, as a reminder that we have work to do: hurts to heal, wrongs to right and love to give.

Students in grades K-5 will be presenting the story of Jesus’ birth in song and word by focusing on three of the groups who witnessed His arrival – angels, shepherds and the Wise Men. ■

Shopper-News Presents Miracle Makers

A passion for change By Betsy Pickle Cindy White knew what she was getting into when she agreed last spring to take over as principal of Vine Middle School. At the time, she was in her fourth year as principal at Karns Middle. Before that, she’d been assistant principal at Karns High. But before she got into administration, she’d been in the trenches – 27 years as a classroom teacher, primarily in the city center. She was familiar with schools that didn’t have a strong PTA, where test scores weren’t always the best and where kids had trouble focusing because they didn’t always get enough to eat. She jumped at the offer to make a difference at Vine. “I don’t like to become really comfortable at any place that I am because it takes my edge away,” she says. White doesn’t have time to become comfortable. It’s normal for her to spend 12 hours or more a day at the school – and she wouldn’t have it any other way. “I love what I do. I love my job.” What made Vine more of a challenge than most schools was that it had been targeted for “reconstitution.” Student achievement had been in decline for two years or more. It was time for change, and that change started with the entire faculty and staff. “Everybody had to reapply for their job, from top to bottom.” Her first priority was to put an administrative team in place. “They worked with me on the hiring process.” Selecting 27 certified teachers plus “master teachers, custodial staff, office staff, support staff – everybody in the building – was a lengthy process, but it was really nice to be able to have the opportunity to decide who was going to be on the team when you were taking on this kind of a job.” In the end, she brought back few previous faculty members. “When you’re trying to change the culture of a school, you have to change mindsets. It’s difficult to do that when someone has been somewhere for a long time.” Changing a school’s culture is a multi-year process, she says. White started by having conversations with people who knew what things were like before – parents, students, community members – and listening to their concerns. “I spent the whole summer doing that, listening to what they had

to say. After listening, I had a vision in place.” The vision is multifaceted: giving every student the same excellent education; taking pride in the school and working to make it succeed; getting the community involved in the school; and increasing expectations for academic excellence. “We will not be successful unless we have a commitment and the investment from parents, from kids and from community members.” Not only has Vine been reconstituted, but it also is a “focus school.” “We are in the lowest 10 percent of schools statewide with regard to test scores.” Behavior has played a role in that, so White made discipline a top priority. She’s already seen a change, and she hopes to see more, even though she warns that change takes time. The key is relationships, she says. “I’ve found through my experience it begins with the relationship with the kid. You can never

Vine Middle principal Cindy White

fake that. Kids are smart. They know whether you like them, whether you like what you do, whether you have passion for what you do. “I was always a strict teacher, but I could be strict because I had a relationship with the kids.” White doesn’t have any teacher role models who helped shape her philosophy on education. “I went to six different elementary schools and a junior high and a middle school by the time I was in eighth grade.” She was born in Birmingham, but her father’s job kept the family moving. She ended up in Knoxville for her freshman year at Halls High School, and she’s lived here ever since. She earned her bachelor’s degree in education and her master’s in administration and supervision at the University of Tennessee. Her identical-twin daughters have also become teachers and are at

Knox County Council PTA

Gresham, where they went to school. White became a grandmother this summer and is excited that another grandchild is on the way. Work keeps her so busy that her family takes up any time she might have for a hobby. (Luckily, her husband is a good cook and makes sure she eats properly.) Her brain is always busy thinking of ways to improve things at Vine. Physical changes have made it more welcoming. She’s happy that it has become a Community School, strengthening ties between the school, students, families and neighbors. And she’s proud that it’s a STEAM school – with arts holding equal weight with science, technology, engineering and math. She disdains the idea that being principal is a “one-person show,” and she’s grateful to her colleagues, who support and challenge her and the students. “I have the best team ever.”

Bringing the impact home By Sherri Gardner Howell Ray Knowes has no problem thinking globally. In his career in aerospace technology, where he was inst r umenta l in growing his company from a 25-person shop to a major aerospace company of 750 employees, his vision was certainly beyond local. As governor of Rotary District 6780, which includes Knoxville, his message is a little more focused. In his presentation to the North Knox Rotary Club at their regular Thursday noon meeting at Litton’s Restaurant, Knowes took the international message and 2014 theme for Rotary and brought it home to Knoxville. “Engage Rotary, Change Lives” is the theme chosen by the international president. “What does it mean to engage Rotary?” Knowes asked the group. “I have seen people who truly engage Rotary in their

Ray Knowes, Rotary District 6780 governor, talks about bringing the international Rotary mission home at a meeting with the North Knox Club at Litton’s.

Ann Knowes enjoys the roses presented to her by the North Knox Rotary Club when her husband, who is the district governor, visited the club.

lives and lives have been changed. But how do you do that here, where you are?” The steps Knowes outlined began with a very basic one: Wear the Rotary pin and be prepared to share what Rotary does in the world. “Rotary is a well-kept secret, and it needs to not be a secret,” said Knowes. “Wear your pin and be prepared to answer the question, ‘What

is Rotary.’” While Rotary statistics are impressive – 1.2 million members worldwide, 34,000 clubs in 200 countries and regions – there are many who are not impressed by the numbers and the stats, said Knowes. “When you begin to tell them about how Rotarians are making a difference in people’s lives, then they are impressed,” he said.

Photos by Sherri Gardner Howell

Knowes said the message should be about building children’s playgrounds and water parks, supporting backpack programs to feed children who have no food on the weekends, teaching the hazards of meth and working to end polio worldwide, just to name a few of the many areas where local Rotary clubs work. Knowes, who attended the meeting with his wife, Ann, went through the six areas of focus for all Rotary clubs: Peace and conflict resolution, disease prevention and treatment, water and sanitation, maternal and child health, basic education and literacy and economic and community development. In each broad area, Knowes suggested ways to bring the broad focus down to specific, local missions. For example, in water and sanitation, a broad concern would be helping third world countries with wells and clean water supply. On the local level, it might be promoting rainwater harvesting, he said. Knowes is a member of the Tullahoma Rotary Club.

News from the Food City

business News from the Register of Deeds

Healthy sales in November By Sherry Witt Although the local real estate market has experienced its typical late fall slowdow n , activity in November still compared favorWitt ably to that of recent years. In November, there were 809 property transfers in Knox County. That number fell just short of the 850 parcels sold during October, but bested last November’s total by more than 100. The aggregate value of land transferred in November was also encouraging as $188.7 million worth of real property was sold. That topped the October figure of $165 million, and was also more than $40 million ahead of last November’s pace. It should be noted that November is often the shortest working month of

the year due to the Veterans Day and Thanksgiving holidays. The recent slowdown in mortgage lending continued. For the month, about $234 million was loaned against real property in Knox County. That was $22 million less than the amount loaned in October, and $130 million less than last November. The most notable property sale of the month was the transfer of Ebenezer Climate Storage at 735 Ebenezer Rd., which sold for $10.9 million. The largest mortgage transaction was a Trust Deed for $13,725,000 financing the Papermill Plaza located at 6710 Papermill Drive. I hope that you and your loved ones enjoy the blessings of a wonderful holiday season, and I would like to encourage all of us to remember those around us who may be less fortunate. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Crabtree touts meats By Cindy Taylor Meat cutter Trey Crabtree is a five-year veteran with the Powell Food City and made the move to the new location when the store opened in September, but he has been cutting and processing meat for much longer than that. He even gave up a career in law enforcement and criminal justice to pursue the meat business. “I started cutting and processing deer meat when I was about 14,” he said. “It was something I had a knack for and I really like what I do. I get to meet people without putting my life in danger.” Crabtree says that Food City meat is processed inhouse, cut fresh every day and follows a strict freshness policy. “After 18 hours our grinds are pulled or reduced and replaced with fresh,” he
