FIRST WORDS
Do you know your roots? Kizzy said, “My pappy real name Kunta Kinte. He a African.” “You don’t say!” Miss Malizy appeared taken aback. “I’se heared my greatReneé Kesler gran’daddy was one dem Africans, too.” This dialogue between a young slave girl and a slave matriarch was taken from an excerpt of the book “ Roots, The Saga Of An American Family” by Pulitzer Prize w inner Alex Haley. Kizzy demonstrates the grit of a young slave girl determined to be defined not by her current enslaved situation, but rather by her strong ancestral heritage. What’s more, Kizzy’s staunch affirmation of her heritage aroused and inspired an elder to recall the stories told of that same proud lineage. Do you know your roots? Discovering our roots is about uncovering the stories of hidden treasures buried in our history while also unearthing layers of one’s self. Zack F. Taylor Jr. has researched and written five volumes of “African American Family Genealogy for Jefferson County, Tennessee,” and it is an extensive work. His dedication to uncovering the black families of Jefferson County is extraordinary. Additionally, Robert A. McGinnis has researched and compiled many books, including “Gone and All but Forgotten, The AfricanAmerican Cemeteries of Knox County, Tennessee.” Neither my friend Zack nor Robert resembles the people they have researched. Yet, when I asked them why they choose to do this work, both reply among other things, “It’s important.” This year marks the 40th anniversary of Alex Haley’s American classic, “Roots,” a To page A-3

Family gets Dodge Caravan By Sandra Clark A Powell business made Christmas extra special this year for the family of Dana Stevens. Her daughter, Haley Bell, 21, has multiple medical issues. King Collision Repair gave them a van. Cindy McCoy, daughter of company founders Bill and Anita King, explains: “Haley has cerebral palsy, scoliosis, seizures and blindness, and is non-verbal. She can walk short distances with assistance and can seat herself in the back seat of her grandmother’s car.” The grandmother, Elaine Pyne, and Stevens were driving a 17-year-old van which required constant repairs. “Haley needs a van for transportation to school, doctors’ and therapy appointments and community outings. She sees her primary care doctor and four specialists, so she has many appointments. She also likes to go to the special needs playground at Lakeshore Park.

Brantley undecided on seeking re-election By Sandra Clark A political conundrum has surfaced two years ahead of the 2018 elections. Knox County Commissioner Ed Brantley confirmed Monday that he’s undecided on whether to seek re-election to Seat 11, one of two at-large seats on the commission. Former commissioner R. Larry Smith has already named a treasurer and is raising money as a candidate for Seat 11. Commissioner Bob Thomas, who holds atlarge Seat 10, has announced his candidacy for county mayor, leaving his seat open in 2018. Both Brantley and Thomas are eligible to run for a second term on the commission. When contacted, Brantley, 70, said, “I haven’t made up my mind, yet everyone has announced for my seat.” He said Ivan Har-
mon and “some woman” have also mentioned running. A check at the Election Commission shows Smith as the only candidate to name a treasurer for Seat 11. Larsen Jay, who founded Random Acts of Flowers, is also exploring a race for an at-large seat. Smith said he picked Seat 11 rather than Seat 10 because it could become the tiebreaker on a close roll-call vote. He said his eight years on the Metropolitan Planning Commission and another eight years as county commissioner from District 7 make him especially suited to hold an at-large seat. He announced early so he could start raising money. “In four weeks, I’ve raised $52,300 with another $20,000 pledged,” he said. His budget is $175,000. Smith’s fund-raising has triggered calls to Brantley to see if he’s seeking

re-election. “ The y ’re calling me and I’m saying I’ve not made up my mind,” said Brantley. He expects to decide “this
time next year.” Political scuttlebutt had Brantley helping Thomas, with neither seeking re-election, and then taking a job in his administration. Brantley said he strongly supports Thomas for mayor but no job has been offered. “Maybe I can help Bob more on the commission.”

Mostly, what legislators heard at their annual breakfast with city officials is that Knoxville wants the state to help pay for a new treatment facility and otherwise stay out of city business. Yes, they’d like the state to help foot the bill for a behavioral health urgent care center (formerly called the safety center). The sheriff and the police chief and the attorney general and the city and county mayors all want this facility, which they say will take the pressure off the Knox County Jail by removing mentally ill inmates and substance abusers from the jail population and placing them in a short-term treatment facility. But Mayor Madeline Rogero politely informed the local lawmakers that what she wants most from Nashville is for the state to
stay out of the city’s business. She doesn’t want any “deannexation” laws, and said the city of Knoxville has not attempted any involuntary annexations for more than a decade. “The prospect of allowing deannexation for properties that have been part of the city and receiving city services and investment for more than a decade raises complicated legal and financial questions that would likely take years to resolve” is how a handout summarizing the city’s legislative wish list put it. City officials would also like for the state not to attempt to regulate short-term rentals (like Airbnb), and refrain from interfering with the city’s ability to jumpstart redevelopment projects by using tax abatement tools like TIFs and PILOTs.
The majority of the lawmakers present pledged their support for the behavioral health urgent care facility, led by Sen. Becky Massey, who outlined a threepronged plan to get it done, with her preferred option being for the governor to include it in his budget from the get-go. Plans B and C would be a “backup” bill she and Rep. Eddie Smith are sponsoring and, as a last resort, a budget amendment. The general sentiment was that chances are good that the state will support the facility, which is also strongly supported by county Mayor Tim Burchett this session. Rep. Bill Dunn said he’d like to hear more specifics. There was little pushback from the lawmakers until Rogero brought up diversity. “We consider diversity a

strength,” she said, citing the difficulties North Carolina ran into after its Legislature passed a so-called bathroom bill. She said North Carolina’s losses were other localities’ gains, including Knoxville’s. “We got an event because of that … Please keep Tennessee opening and welcoming,” she said. This plea struck a nerve with Dunn, who said the North Carolina legislators were forced to act to counteract an ordinance passed by the city of Charlotte. He said he believes in “the diversity of the individual,” and cautioned against telling people how to run their businesses. Rep. Martin Daniel told Rogero that he hears complaints about the city disregarding property rights and being “ultraregulatory.” To page A-3

health & lifestyles News From Parkwest, west kNoxville’s HealtHcare leader • treatedwell.com • 374-Park
When should I go to the emergency department? According to the latest government statistics, approximately 136 million people are treated in U.S. emergency departments (EDs) every year. These patients are treated for a wide variety of medical conditions. How do you decide when a medical condition rises to the level of an emergency? The American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) offers the following list of warning signs that indicate when something may be a medical emergency: ■ Difficulty breathing, shortness of breath ■ Chest or upper abdominal pain or pressure ■ Fainting, sudden dizziness, weakness ■ Changes in vision ■ Confusion or changes in mental status ■ Any sudden or severe pain ■ Uncontrolled bleeding ■ Severe or persistent vomiting or diarrhea ■ Coughing or vomiting blood ■ Suicidal feelings ■ Difficulty speaking ■ Shortness of breath ■ Unusual abdominal pain
If you think you or a loved one might be experiencing a medical emergency, come to the ED to have a doctor examine you. If you think the condition is life-threatening or the person’s condition will worsen on the way to the hospital, you need to call 911 so the local Emergency Medical Services (EMS) provider can come to you. The goal of the Parkwest ED is to ensure that every patient is seen by a provider within 30 minutes of arrival. The Parkwest Emergency Department sees patients based on the severity of their illnesses or injuries, not first-come, first-served. To get the best care as quickly as possible, note the following advice: ■ Bring a list of medications and allergies. What’s the name of the medication you are taking? How often do you take it and for how long? A list of allergies is important, especially if you have many. Be sure to include medications, foods, insects or any other product that may cause an allergic reaction. Parkwest can provide wallet-sized medication info cards free of charge if you’d like one. To get a medication info card, ask anyone in the ED or contact Parkwest Marketing at 373-1000.
Cold or When you wake up sneezing, coughing, and have that achy, feverish, can’t-move-a-muscle feeling, how do you know whether you have a cold or the flu? While it can be hard to tell, it’s important to know the difference between the symptoms. A cold is a milder respiratory illness that can make you feel badly for a few days, while the flu can make you feel very sick for a few days to weeks. The flu can also result in serious health problems such as pneumonia which may require hospitalization.
■ Know your immunizations. These immunizations mainly include Tetanus, Flu and Hepatitis B for adults. ■ Remain calm. It is difficult to remain composed if you’ve been badly injured, but a calm attitude can help improve communication with the doctors and nurses who are caring for you. ■ If you think you or a loved one is experiencing a cardiac emergency, call 911. EMS personnel and ambulances are prepared to handle these types of emergencies and can start some treatment modalities while en route to Parkwest. Plus, we’ll know you’re coming and can triage you faster than if you come on your own. “At the Parkwest Emergency Department, we want every patient to have excellent care,” says Medical Director Jeff Zurosky, MD. “Our compassionate team delivers quality medical treatment using an efficient, effective and Jeff Zurosky, patient-centered ap- MD proach to care.”

How long do flu symptoms last?
What are common cold symptoms? Cold symptoms usually begin with a sore throat, which usually goes away after a day or two. Nasal symptoms, like a runny nose or congestion, follow with a cough by the fourth and fifth days. Fever is not typical in adults. Cold symptoms may cause watery nasal secretions for the first few days. Later, these secretions may become thicker and darker. Dark mucus is natural and does not always mean you have developed a bacterial infection.

As we celebrate this 40-year milestone, perhaps we will also take the opportunity to reignite the search for our roots. Like many others, the untold stories of my ancestors remain hidden and are awaiting discovery. We need to know our roots because as Haley so eloquently surmised, “In all of us there is a hunger, marrow deep, to know our heritage … Without this enriching knowledge, there is a hollow yearning no matter what our attainments in life.”

Todd Stinnett: From Wallace Memorial to Black Oak Heights By Stacy Levy When Todd Stinnett reached high school, he began to sense that God was calling him into the ministry. Todd didn’t have any family members in the ministry, so he really didn’t know what that meant. He just knew he liked the idea of preaching God’s Word and helping God’s people. “Yet, going into the ministry is not just something a person ‘decides’ to do,” Stinnett said. “It’s a work someone can desire, but the calling must come from God. After I finished my senior year of high school, it was clear that God was calling me into the ministry. I announced my call at Wallace Memorial Baptist Church in the summer of 1995. Thankfully, the pastor (now pastor emeritus) Jim McCluskey gave me many opportunities to preach. I will always be thankful for that. “Growing up at Wallace Memorial was a wonderful experience! I can honestly say that it changed my life. I started out in the nursery and stayed at the church until I was 21 years old when I got married and moved off to seminary. Every part of the church’s ministry impacted my life, and some of my best memories involve Wallace Memorial.” Stinnett attended Norwood El-
ementary and Powell Middle and High schools, so he knew this was a loving community. He spent 12 years in ministry in Morristown before coming home. “The city and this community have taken me right back in and I’m very thankful.” Todd and wife Shelby have six children: Todd Stinnett Madison, Tanner, Nicholas, Benjamin, Charisma and Elijah. He has been the pastor of Black Oak Heights Baptist Church since August 2015. Since that time, 204 people have united with the church and 51 of those new members were baptized into fellowship. God has sent a revival to the church that Stinnett is praying will continue for many years. The mission is very simple, he said. “We exist to make disciples for the glory of God. If we’re not making disciples, then we cease to be a church and we’ve turned into a country club. There are enough clubs in the world – our Lord is looking for some churches on fire for Christ. I’m praying Black Oak Heights will always be that sort of church.”
A pygarg?
The church has a weekly television ministry, “The Word of Truth,” on WKNX (Comcast channel 4, satellite channel 7). It is also available in high definition. The congregation is trying to raise funds to update its equipment to HD. They estimate it could take $250,000 to $500,000 to update all of the equipment. “Jesus gave our church its marching orders in Matthew 28:19-20,” said Stinnett. “Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations. ...” He encourages everyone to come and see what God is doing at Black Oak Heights Baptist Church. If someone has a church home, they can still be involved in our ministry, he said. “The best thing anyone can do for us is to pray for us daily. We covet the prayers of our community. “Also, if someone feels compelled to contribute to the ministry, they can do that anytime at www.bohbc.org/. We don’t want Black Oak to be a ‘secret’ anymore. We want everyone to know that this is a place where love and worship can always be found.” Located between I-75 and Clinton Highway on Black Oak Drive, the church campus is not visible. Firsttime guests often say, “I never knew this was back here!”

What’s in a name: West High
A day spent with grandparents

One of the great things about having so much family living in our house is that we have friends from all over the city. When Kinzy and I began researching the history of schools in Knoxville, our friends kept asking us to find the history of their schools, too. Lately Talisha’s friends from West High School have really been bugging us to find out Kip about their schools, so this week’s story will focus on their history, and there was some really interesting information to be found. For instance, West High School was one of four high schools built when Knoxville High School closed in 1951. I have already written about SouthDoyle and Austin-East, which were two more of the four. West High School is in the Bearden area – named for Marcus Bearden, who was a mayor of Knoxville and a Tennessee legislator – and was built where the first McGhee Tyson Airport was located on Sutherland Avenue.
Bearden Elementary and Bearden Middle are two of the schools whose students go to West High. There are some other elementary schools near West High School who have really odd names with cool stories, too. Pond Gap Elementary is named for the Pond Gap community – after a natural pond that was the only water used for cattle and farmers back in the old days. Sequoyah Elementary is in the middle of Sequoyah Hills, a community named after Cherokee Indian Chief Sequoyah. Lonsdale and Maynard are two other elementary schools whose students end up at West High School. Both have interesting stories tied to them. Lonsdale is named after the neighborhood where the school is. The area was part of a large farm owned by a man named William Ragsdale. Lonsdale is a combination of William’s mother’s name “Lonas” and the last part of his name “dale.” Maynard Elementary School was started in 1897 in an area called Mechanicsville, named because of the number of mechanics who moved into and lived in the area at the time.

New sign for Powell High is closer By Sandra Clark Knox County school board meets today (5 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 11) at the City County Building downtown. Agenda items include acceptance of three donations to finalize the new digital sign coming to Powell High School. The sign is being bought by the school through a donation from the Haslam Family Foundation. But when principal Dr. Chad Smith showed a sketch to Enhance Powell, a group that is working to beautify the business district, members suggested a monument sign with a brick base.
The architecture firm sk3 donated a design valued at $800, and the Powell Business & Professional Association and the Powell High Alumni Association each added $1,925 – for a total donation of $4,650. Also on this month’s agenda is a $50,000 contract with The Lewis Group Architects to design bid specs for a new roof for Corryton Elementary School and a partial roof replacement at Holston Middle School. The board also will vote on allowing Fulton High School to purchase furniture for the school library using $40,743 in Haslam Family Foundation donation funds.

Knoxville High’s influential principal “A firm, steady, stable and human person.” When W.E. Evans was honored at his retirement in 1955, those were the words his former students chose to describe their principal.
Jim Tumblin
Having served one of Knoxville’s longest careers in public education, Evans retired in 1955 at the compulsory retirement age of 70. He served 33 years as principal of Knoxville High School, and after that school closed, moved to East High as principal for four more years. William E. Evans was born in Ashland, Ohio, on April 4, 1885, the son of the Rev. Amos and Lillie “Ernst” Evans. When asked where he grew up, he once said, “All over Ohio, since my father was a Methodist minister.” He attended Ohio State University, graduated from Oberlin College (Oberlin, Ohio) and received postgraduate education at the University of Chicago and the University of Tennessee. He soon became a teacher
and coach at Woodstock (Ill.) High School before coming to Knoxville. Beginning in 1913, only three years after the school was born, he taught chemistry and mathematics for five years and then became principal of Knoxville High School in 1918. The school enrolled 646 (grades 8-10) when it opened in the fall of 1910. There were 800 students when he became principal and 2,300 in 1950-51 when the school board decided it was too large and created smaller regional high schools at Fulton, East, West and South. Only four other principals had preceded Evans at KHS: W.J. Barton (19101912), H.M. Woods (1913), Samuel Hixson (1914-1916) and E.E. Patton (1916-1918). Evans’ students regarded him as both an inspiration and a role model. Evans gave this earnest advice to each incoming freshman class: ■■Study at home, ■■Be attentive in class, ■■Be honest, ■■Have an ideal. Community spirit was a hallmark of Evans’ leadership. In his long career he never resorted to corporal punishment, but rather used the “heart-to-heart conference method” with his students, and he extend-

ed the method to their parents when necessary. His handling of an impending problem in the 1930s is typical of his keen understanding of youth. The Theta Kappa Omega fraternity was organized at the school. Evans knew secret organizations did not belong in high schools. Instead of using threats and anger, he organized groups of other kinds – debating teams and Hi-Y, home economics, art, photography, hiking, future teachers and other clubs. These met the

ists going to New York City when five overall winners are chosen.” Three judges came to Knoxville – braving the snow and enduring the cold – to conduct the competition last weekend. The Knoxville Opera Guild hosted a potluck dinner for guild and board members to meet the judges and show their appreciation. Maestro Brian Salesky was present, with guild president Eden McNabb Bishop conducting the evening’s festivities. Judges, all three first-timers in Knoxville although not new to judging the competition, were Keith Wolfe of Opera Birmingham; Melissa Wegner with the Metropolitan Opera in New York; and Mark Gibson with the College of Conservatory Music at the University of Cincinnati.

ship in 1939, 1941 and 1951. Evans’ progressive ideas on education and character building surely equaled or surpassed other principals of his time. He turned out graduates who went on to attend Harvard, Yale and MIT and to become leaders themselves in various fields. Many prominent Knoxvillians and executives throughout the country were positively influenced under his tutelage. Until a week before his death, Evans was in apparent good health. He suffered a heart attack and entered Fort Sanders Presbyterian Hospital on Saturday, Nov. 30, 1957, and passed away of a second attack late Tuesday night, Dec. 3, 1957. He was survived by his wife, Helen Stewart Evans, and four sons, Col. William Stewart Evans, Col. Richard E. Evans, John A. Evans and Tom H. Evans. Dr. John H. McKinnon officiated at his services at First Presbyterian Church preceding his interment at Highland Memorial Cemetery. In touching the lives of more than 16,000 students who attended the school during his years of service, William E. Evans made a contribution to his community and the nation matched by very few – well done, good and faithful servant.

Welcoming the judges Knoxville Opera Company has had no shortage of stars to come from these humble Tennessee hills – from the iconic Mary Costa and Delores Ziegler, to such talents as Cheryl Studer, Roy Smith and Kristen Lewis – just to name a few. And since everybody has to have that “start,” there are competitions every year to pick the best of the area, who then go on to compete regionally and, possibly, nationally. Phyllis Driver, a longtime KOC and KOC Guild member and supporter, is co-director of these annual auditions. “We alternate between Nashville and Knoxville,” explains Driver, “bringing in renowned judges to listen to young singers under the age of 30. The winners go on to the district level, then the Southeast regionals, with those final-
diverse interests of his pupils, and the secret fraternity died a natural death after dwindling in membership for two years. One of his science teachers observed, “He met and resolved disciplinary and other problems before they got too far along. He gave students so much of good to do that they had little time to think of doing wrong.” The Knoxville High School Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) battalion was the pride of the school. Founded after
World War I, the unit was frequently inspected and received high ratings. There was keen competition for officer positions in the four companies and the band each year. These ROTCtrained officers and men made a considerable contribution in many theaters during World War II. For example, all four of Evans’ sons made their contribution to the war effort as all of them were pilots or crew members in the Air Force. High school changed dramatically during his years as principal. It changed from strictly academic schools to become comprehensive and specialized. At Knoxville High School, a three-piece orchestra expanded to over 70 pieces, small choral groups grew to huge concert organizations and competition between schools grew from debating teams only to football, basketball, track and other sports. The Knoxville High Trojans football team claimed the state championship in 1930 and the national championship in 1932. Always a power, the “Blue and White” set a record by capturing the state football championship again in 1942, 1943 and 1944. And the Trojans won the state basketball champion-

The final month of 2016 brought a nice ending to a very good year for local real estate and lending markets. In December, 1,020 property transfers were recorded in Knox County. Although that was just short of the number of sales registered last December, it was slightly more than the November total. About $244 million worth of land was transferred last month, compared to just under $287 million in December 2015. The total value of properties sold, however, increased nearly 13 percent between 2015 and 2016. Mortgage lending in December was ahead of the November pace, but below levels of a year ago. Last month, approximately $352 million was loaned against real estate in Knox County, compared to $346 million in November. Lower rates produced nearly $433 million in mortgages and refinancing in December 2015.
The largest real estate transfer in December involved the sale of multiple self-storage facilities in the area, which were sold to Self-Storage Portfolio II for a total price of just over $17.5 million. A Deed of Trust in the amount of Sherry Witt $18,975,000 financing the transfer was also the largest mortgage loan of the month. All in all, 2016 outperformed 2015 in virtually every statistical category. The total value of property sold for the year was just over $3.05 billion. By comparison, 2015 produced about $2.71 billion in real estate sales. Mortgage lending in Knox County saw about a $350 million increase during 2016 as well, to the tune of nearly $4.35 billion. On behalf of all of us at the Register of Deeds office, we hope you have a very happy and prosperous New Year!

NEWS FROM POWELL CHIROPRACTIC
Water do’s and don’ts By Dr. Donald G. Wegener ■ Do gradually increase your water intake. ■ Do drink water at any time, not just with meals. ■ Do keep a “water diary” to keep record of your daily intake until you’re drinking at least 10 eight-ounce glasses per day. ■ Don’t put anything into the water you drink except possibly a sprig of mint or a citrus slice. ■ Don’t count other liquids as part of your water intake. Coffee, tea and diet colas are solutions with properties different from water. ■ Don’t wait until bedtime to drink your allotted water. ■ Don’t drink five glasses one day and try to make up for it by drinking 15 the next. This will put your body out of f luid balance. ■ Don’t stop drinking water once you’ve lost weight. To function properly, your body needs 10 glasses of water a day.
You are, in fact, made up mostly of water. Almost 70 percent of your total weight, four to five quarts by volume, depending on your size, comes from water. How long can you live without water? Dr. Wegener Longer than you can live without air, but really not that long. Twenty-four hours in excessive heat or one cool, humid week without water and your skin loses its moist dewy look. Your mucous membranes begin to dry out, inviting viral attack. Then, weakness and irregular heartbeats set in, followed by hallucinations. Let’s leave the rest to your imagination.

around for more favorable playing opportunities. Prep players, relatives, girlfriends and high school coaches are often befuddled or offended by the shuffle. They have told all their friends about the scholarship at Tennessee. Even worse than the embarrassment, they are sometimes left to learn of changing plans through osmosis. One father said coaches never said anything. They simply stopped calling his son. He took that as a clue. Recruiting travels a twoway street. Future stars, apparently dedicated and all locked in, may succumb to rival lures and simply walk away, leaving terrible voids and fever blisters. Recruiting is a cruel and often heartless sport. Promises don’t count until signed in blood and legally notarized – or the young man enrolls in school.
Securing that December commitment from Trey Smith, best offensive lineman in the state and maybe America, did not eliminate all alarm among experienced recruiting followers. It appears there are holes in the fence that Butch built around his turf. Clemson is causing consternation. Texas A&M has invaded. Alabama is a constant threat. LSU and Oklahoma think they have one each of ours. Others are circling like hawks, looking for a free lunch. In times past, Tennessee recruiters went elsewhere due to the perceived shortage of talent in our state. Now the shoe is on the other foot. In some cases, there are disagreements about how good is a certain prep player and how much does it matter which college he chooses. There is no disagreement about wide receiver Tee Higgins of Oak Ridge. The Vols know he is good. Clemson has him. There are whispers about academic shortages. The Tigers haven’t noticed. Amari Rodgers of Knoxville Catholic, son of exVol Tee Martin, never has shown deep interest in Ten-
nessee. Clemson wins again. Clemson success is relevant. Are there secret recruiting weapons? Dan Brooks is no secret. He is associate head coach. He was a key man with Phillip Fulmer for 15 years. Marion Hobby is a sharp Tiger who played at Tennessee. Both know which interstate exits to take and a lot of people who live nearby. John Chavis, once a gritty Volunteer, longtime defensive coach for Fulmer, crosses state lines while wearing a Texas A&M shirt. He signed two from Tennessee last winter that UT didn’t make much fuss about. He is back, trying to take someone Tennessee wants. Maybe you’ve read and fretted about de-commitments. They make headlines but should be evaluated carefully. Ten who said they would be Volunteers have since said so long and are going elsewhere. Sometimes that means better prospects have appeared. If more emerge, others will clear out. It is the law of the recruiting jungle. Marvin West invites reader reactions. His address is westwest6@netzero.com

ney Bernard Bernstein, who retired several years ago from the same firm, located in West Knoxville’s Bearden on Agnes Street. Stair will maintain an office there. His specialty has been divorces, and virtually every affluent individual (and some not so affluent) in Knoxville who had marital issues sought him out to be their attorney or, in the alternative, hoped the other spouse did not retain his services. He was that good. His older son, Caesar Stair IV, continues working at the firm. He was superb in maintaining confidentiality with well-known clients who were often a who’s who in Knoxville and often getting positive results for his clients. His civic leadership over the years in the arts has been outstanding and tireless, heading up both the Knoxville Museum of Art and Knoxville Opera at different times. He has been an advocate along with his wife, Dorothy, of historic preservation. Their home, Hilltop Farm, on Lyons View
Pike celebrated its 100th birthday and has one of the most spectacular views in Knoxville of both the Tennessee River and the mountains. The home was originally acquired by his parents. It has been the site of major fundraising events for charities in Knoxville. Govs. Ned McWherter, Lamar Alexander and Bill Haslam have all been guests there, as well as George W. Bush before he became president. Stair was a strong advocate and proponent in the early 1990s of the creation of Lakeshore Park. He was a major player, along with Tom McAdams, in placing it on the city agenda. He even went to Nashville to lobby then-Gov. McWherter on the project. He is a 1962 graduate of the Hotchkiss School, Lakeville, Conn., and a 1966 graduate of Yale University. He served in the U.S. Marine Corps in Vietnam as an officer. ■■ Beth Harwell was re-elected House speaker last week after a closer than anticipated vote among Republicans of 40 to 30 over Loudon County’s popular state Rep. Jimmy Matlock. It will be interesting to see how she appoints members to committees and whether she attempts to punish those who opposed her. With a secret ballot, it is not possible for her to know the
identity of all who opposed her or pledged their support to both candidates. However, the smartest move she might make is to announce all 74 GOP members are on the same team and she would not sideline any member who opposed her in committee appointments. That would shock her rivals who expect retribution and go a long way toward healing the divisions which exist. It would help her if she seeks another term as speaker in 2018 or runs for governor that year. ■■ Mayor Madeline Rogero a week ago on Jan. 4 opened her annual legislative breakfast to the public. Last year she tried to close it, got criticized and learned from the criticism by not repeating it this year. She deserves a compliment for transparency on this, in contrast to UT President Joe DiPietro, who misled the media as to the purpose of his legislative breakfast as he closed the meeting to the public. Rogero included the whole city council and several city directors, such as David Brace. Rogero often learns from her errors and does not repeat them. ■■ U.S. Rep. Jimmy Duncan made the front page of the Jan. 4 issue of USA Today when he was sworn into office for his 15th term.

The Training for Life participant’s responsibilities include: ■ Listen and be honest with your trainer and dietary staff. If an exercise causes pain or abnormal discomfort, say so. Give the most accurate account of your dietary intake. ■ Attend all sessions. The nutritional session may not be at your normal training time, so some effort may need to be made to change your schedule. There are no refunds or makeup sessions; you know all of your days and times from the start. Consistency leads to success.
■ Meet with your trainer within the first, sixth, and twelfth week to get measured for your pre- and post-program results. This will take about 20-30 minutes for each session and should be done before exercise. ■ Keep up with your own food and exercise journal. Log all of your meals, snacks and beverages. We will give you sample journals. Bring your log for your trainer to review at each workout. ■ Work hard and have fun!
