Shutdown doesn’t stop HonorAir

By Jake Mabe The bell that called church

members to Beaver Dam Baptist for 100 years rings again.

No, not literally – the bell cannot be rung due to fear of damage – but it sounds, and looks, just as sweet, through the memories of those who were there and thanks to a joint restoration project between the church and the Halls Women’s League.

As reported on Sept. 2, the church bell survived the fi re that engulfed the former Beaver Dam church on Wednesday, Oct. 20, 1948, has been restored and placed in a monument at the original Halls Crossroads – the corner of Emory Road and Andersonville Pike.

The monument was dedicated at a special service Oct. 6.

John Hensley was the last person to ring the bell.

“I think it was the Lord’s will that it (the church) burned. It had so much history in it, I’m not sure anybody would have torn it down. I like to think that’s why we have the church we have today.”

Gene Bayless says seeing the

fi re is his fi rst memory. “My father had a service station

and he also had a wrecker. I remember being with them when they dragged the bell out of the rubble of the church and drove it to the store,” which was located where Burger King sits today.

Nita Webb, whose husband, the late Shields Webb, was pastor of the church from 1948-50, says that she doesn’t recall the bell.

She does remember the aftermath. She says the owner of the drive-in movie theater that once sat at the foot of Black Oak Ridge offered to show a fi lm with all proceeds going to build a new church. Broadway Speedway,

located near the current location of the Halls Co-op, offered to help. Some Beaver Dam members thought the church should sell soap.

“I thank God that he was in charge.”

 By Sandra Clark Knox County Schools is con-

ducting a series of public meetings to gather opinions about: What’s right? What’s not? What’s next?

The fi rst was at South-Doyle Middle School; last week’s was at Carter Middle. These sessions are for everyone and every voice will be heard.

South-Doyle: Some teachers complained about the amount of testing they have to do and all of the hoops that teachers have to jump through that are driving a lot of experienced, good teachers into early retirement.

They said teacher morale is really low, and all the observation they’re under is distracting and dispiriting.

Several teachers and parents said teachers should be better paid. Another said educators need more classroom resources.

Carter: Attendees voiced sup-port for site-based school man-agement, better teacher pay and a new concept: “advancement based on mastery.” This is a logical ex-tension of individualized learning, made possible with technology.

Parents from Gibbs partici-pated heavily, and were able to get construction of a new middle

school at Gibbs into the top three priorities of the entire group.

Educators dominated atten-dance at both meetings, perhaps skewing the results. Leadership Knoxville facilitated each group discussion.

“What gets to ya about all these pictures (of Marines and soldiers engraved in the memorial) is that I remem-ber how young we were. I was a little older than most at 21. I graduated from UT and the next week, I was outta here.”

Fountain City Korean War era veterans Hardy Johnson and Richard Tum-blin took the tour. At the World War II memorial, Johnson chatted with U.S. Sen. Lamar Alexander and Tumblin spoke to U.S. Sen. Bob Corker. Halls guy and Korean War era veteran Marvin Powers, assigned to the 7th Army headquarters in Germany, was also here.

Former Halls guy, busi-ness owner and Korean War era veteran Bob Johnson was seeing the Korea me-morial for the fi rst time.

No, not the guy with the beard, this is a real person, a real hero, Halls guy Sam Hardman, who passed away at age 95 on Aug. 16.

Mr. Hardman, a World War II veteran, was the ambassador for HonorAir Knoxville, which takes World War II and Korean War era veterans to the cap-ital to see their monuments.

HonorAir Knoxville founder Eddie Mannis and Mr. Hardman’s step grand-children Teresa and Tom Latham laid a wreath in his memory at the Tennessee marker.

“We’ve been here before,” Tom said, “but to put the wreath here means just that much more. We’re pretty sure Sam was talking to Gabriel to set up a one-day pass to get here. He would be honored.”

The government shut-down wasn’t going to stop these 127 warriors. Hono-rAir staff and a tour guide removed (and later re-placed) barricades near the Korean War Veterans Mon-ument and at the Marine Corps War Memorial. Police never appeared.

Halls guy, World War II veteran and former Knox County Superintendent Earl Hoffmeister and Bob John-son are longtime friends and former neighbors in Emory Estates. They spent time together on the trip.

Hoffmeister trained mules for mountain artil-lery.

Next time you see a vet-eran, thank them for their service. And next time you see Eddie Mannis, thank him for bringing HonorAir to Knoxville.

This is a program to be proud of, no doubt about it.

A few days after the UT Vols’ heartbreaking over-time loss to Georgia, some-one compared Bobby Wag-goner’s deliberation over whether to make a run for Knox County Sheriff in 2014 to Tennessee wide receiver Alton “Pig” Howard’s oh-so-close fumble in the fi nal seconds of that game:

“He’s about an inch away from making a decision.”

Waggoner has had folks talking about his future since he retired from the Sheriff’s offi ce the fi rst of September. He has been vis-iting with local business and civic leaders since then, and is straightforward about the fact he’s considering run-ning for the top cop job.

“What I’m really doing at this point is listening,” Wag-goner says. “I want to know what people in the commu-nity think about how the Sheriff’s Offi ce is being run. If I hear they’re happy with the status quo, obviously I won’t run. I want what’s best for Knox County, and I don’t mind saying I’m getting a lot of encouragement to run.

“This community has been good to me and my family for generations,” he adds. “I care about it and want to give back in any way I can. Serving as Sheriff would certainly be a way to do that.”

It’s hard to imagine any-one more qualifi ed for the position. A certifi ed police offi cer for decades, with more than 1200 hours of

Mayor Madeline Rogero, state Sen. Becky Massey and two-thirds of the school board are living proof that women have not been shut out of political offi ce in Knoxville or Knox County, but getting elected and stay-ing elected can be tough for women who aren’t kin to a member of Congress or who haven’t been focused on building a political career for decades.

County Commission and City Council have only one female member each, and just three of 16 elected judg-es are women.

The remaining three county offi ceholders who are women, Register of Deeds Sherry Witt, General Ses-sions Court Clerk Cathy Quist and Criminal Court Clerk Joy McCroskey, all face re-election next spring. Quist and McCroskey, to whom term limits do not apply because they are con-

Neil McBride set to leave TVA board

Last year TVA was about to operate without a quo-rum as four board mem-bers’ terms had expired and the White House had not nominated any new mem-bers until the last minute.

This year, TVA does not face that situation, but one member’s term has expired and that is Neil McBride from Oak Ridge. His term expired May 18, 2013, but his tenure continues until Dec. 31, 2013, unless Presi-dent Obama re-nominates him and the U.S. Senate confi rms him.

His departure would reduce the board member-ship from nine to eight, but next year two current members’ terms expire on May 18, 2014, and they are Bill Sansom of Knoxville who is chair and Barbara Haskew of Chattanooga. They will serve until the end of 2014 unless replaced or reappointed.

McBride is seeking a second term but has not been reappointed. The cur-rent government shutdown slows down the process for him if the White House is considering a second term. There are only 10 weeks left in 2013, and if he is to continue on the board he must be re-nominated soon or the clock will run out on him in terms of the U.S. Senate having time to vote on his nomination. Both Sens. Alexander and Corker, as a practical mat-ter, will need to sign off on this if McBride expects to win confi rmation before Christmas.

McBride has had strong ties to more progressive members (read liberal) of the community as a public interest advocate in this region for many years. However, he has been a very quiet member of the TVA board and the public has trouble pointing to what he has accomplished during his time there.

He was silent on the dress code lawsuit and is silent on the tree cuttings under power lines across numerous residential neighborhoods. He has failed to argue openly for public meetings of TVA board committees which many feel is needed for transparency.

He has continued to be unfailingly polite and ready

to hear many points of view while reserving his opin-ions to himself.

It is hard to tell if San-som wants to continue on the TVA board where he has served twice. As a Re-publican, he would not be a fi rst choice for President Obama, but his strong ties to Sen. Lamar Alexander whom he served as Com-missioner of Finance and Commissioner of Trans-portation may infl uence Obama to rename him if Sansom wants it. Haskew is a question mark as to whether she wishes to continue.

■ TVA gave away $835,335 this past fi scal year to NGOs in the Valley region. These are groups which have applied for grants according to TVA guidelines.

■ Keith Shields, who has been promoted from deputy to director of the city’s Fleet Services, also won a $7,000 pay raise and a car allowance of $5,830 a year for a total package of $12,830 plus. Not all city directors have a car allow-ance, city spokesperson Jesse Mayshark said. It is not clear what the standard is for some directors to have a car allowance while others do not.

■ Lance Campbell has been hired to replace Lee Miracle as real estate manager. Campbell has big shoes to fi ll. He starts out at $12,000 less than Miracle was paid when he retired this summer.

■ Two longtime city employees have signed up for the city’s drop plan which means in two years or less they will cease being city employees. They are Cindy Mitchell, city record-er for 34 years, and Bob Whetsel, former director of Public Service who now works on special projects such as improvements to Cumberland Avenue. More later about their signifi cant contributions. Mitchell is one of the most senior city recorders among all Ameri-can cities.

■ The federal shut-down has slowed the even-tual vote on Pam Reeves being confi rmed as the next federal judge for East Ten-nessee as much of the Sen-ate Judiciary Committee is furloughed and cannot read over the written answers Reeves has submitted to the Committee while they are on forced leave. It could now be November or Christmas before Reeves wins approval, even early 2014 if the unrelated issues are not resolved.

Bobby Waggoner: Will he run for Sheriff?law enforce-ment training in the last 12 years alone, Waggoner has 44 years in law en for c ement under his belt – more than 12 years of it in the Knox County Sher-iff’s Offi ce (KCSO), where he started out as assistant chief deputy, an administra-tive position, under Sheriff Tim Hutchi-son. At the time of his retirement he had been chief of detectives for almost seven years.

Prior to that, Waggoner was a commissioned police offi cer with the railroad. He started his career as a spe-cial agent with the Southern Railroad Police Department out of Birmingham in 1969, and worked his way up through the ranks with po-lice responsibilities in sev-eral states before retiring in 2000 as special agent in charge of the Norfolk South-ern Police Department’s Area 4, which includes Mis-souri, Illinois and Indiana.

The positions he held with the railroad had broad responsibilities, because commissioned railroad po-lice offi cers also have Fed-eral powers.

All of that policing shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone who is familiar with the Waggoner family history.

Waggoner’s grandfather and father both had ca-reers in law enforcement. His grandfather, Bernard L. Waggoner Sr., worked in

Anne Hart

Hammond McCroskey

Hammond may take on McCroskey

local law enforcement for 42 years, including serving three terms as Knox County Sheriff. His father, Bernard L. Waggoner Jr., retired as a captain in the detectives division after 26 years with the Knoxville Police De-partment.

Waggoner’s sister, Brenda Waggoner, has also spent many years in public service. She was a Knox County Gen-eral Sessions Court Judge until her retirement in 2006.

The Waggoner fam-ily called the Karns area of Knox County home for generations. Waggoner graduated from Karns High School, where he was cap-tain of the football team in 1964 and headed off to Ten-nessee Tech in Cookeville with a football/baseball scholarship.

He was drafted into the Army in 1966, and served two years before returning to Tech in 1968. Shortly af-ter that he and Kathryn Al-len, also a Knox County na-tive, decided to get married, “and I fi gured out pretty fast I needed to get a job.” That’s

when he went to work with the railroad, starting out on beat patrol and moving up through the ranks.

Kathryn and Bobby have been married for 44 years and have three daughters and four grandchildren. During the time he was with the railroad, the family lived many places. Today, two of the daughters and their families live in Georgia and the other in Tennessee.

They all gathered for a family reunion last week-end at Bobby and Kath-ryn’s home in the Fourth and Gill neighborhood. While they posed for pic-tures on Mom and Dad’s front porch, there was a lot of good-natured jaw-ing back and forth about the UT-George game to be played that afternoon.

There were loyal and enthusiastic fans for both teams gathered on that porch and while the family couldn’t agree on who the eventual winner of the game would be, they all agreed Dad would make a great sheriff of Knox County.

sidered part of the judiciary, make nearly $125,000 a year. Witt, who is subject to term limits, makes $113,624.

So far, only McCroskey seems likely to face opposi-tion.

For some 40 years, the court clerks have been women. That record could be challenged this year, as 10-year County Commis-sion veteran Mike Ham-mond moves ever closer to announcing that he will be opposing McCroskey, who was appointed in 2008 af-ter the death of longtime Criminal Court Clerk Mar-tha Phillips, a revered fi gure in the courthouse.

Hammond is a longtime radio personality who is

program director at WCYQ, a new country music radio station. He says he likes his job, but is being asked to run by “a number of people.”

“I’ve got a big decision to make. I’ve got a good job, but…”

He said he will announce his decision the fi rst of No-vember.

He also said the prospect of going after one of the few female offi ceholders in the courthouse won’t be a con-sideration.

“I’m looking at the offi ce itself, the issues and the way it’s run. I’d simply be offer-ing my expertise,” he said.

McCroskey has worked in the clerk’s offi ce for 45 years, minus a year when she went to work for TVA looking for better pay. She returned in 1974, and fi g-ures that she knows the job inside out.

“I decided if I was going to have to work my whole

life, I was going to love the job I had,” she said “Luckily, they hired me back.”

She had four months to mount a campaign in No-vember 2008 after being appointed. She was elected overwhelmingly and has since been re-elected. If she wins in 2014, she says she will term-limit herself, even though she’s not required by law to do so. She’s prepared to fi ght for the job.

“Anybody has a right to run that wants to run. I’m not going to back down be-cause I’ve got an opponent.”

HALLS/FOUNTAIN CITY Shopper news • OCTOBER 14, 2013 • A-5

Enjoy Spurrier while you can Tennessee, in search of

the elusive signature vic-tory, faces another scary outing in the SEC jungle. For some strange reason, gamecocks do not sound as dangerous as crazy gators and wounded bulldogs past and red elephants and ter-rible tigers yet to come.

Load the cannon for South Carolina. One more shot at Steve Superior, oops, Spurrier is promising.

Without even trying, Steve

reminds me of Mac Davis’ great song line, “Oh Lord, it’s hard to be humble when you’re perfect in every way.”

Successful football coach-es sometimes get so full of themselves, directing a team and holding fans in the palm of their hands just isn’t enough. They become mini-dictators.

Let’s use the very success-ful Spurrier as an example. Three years ago, the ol’ ball coach was deciding who could and could not ask ques-tions at press conferences.

The power grab peaked this summer. Spurrier plucked and discarded one of the perceived thorns that had been needling him. Colum-nist Ron Morris of The State, the newspaper in Columbia, S.C., was ordered by his pub-

lisher, Henry Haitz III, to never again write or talk pub-licly about the Gamecocks. Go annoy Clemson.

It was a journalistic re-straining order.

Observers didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Spurrier had persuaded good friend Haitz to choke a critic. Freedom of the press was lost. The coach smirked.

The story sprouted wings. Haitz didn’t like the feedback. He eventually rescinded his edict. Spur-rier smirked again and went back to throwing visors.

Every other year I think this might be Steven Orr Spurrier’s last visit to Ten-nessee. He is a high-mileage 68 years old, many times a millionaire with nothing left to prove. We are completely

convinced he can coach.He has been everywhere

and done it all. He has lived in Athens, Newport and Johnson City, played golf at Augusta and been married to the same pretty Jerri for 47 years.

Steve performed bril-liantly in high school, won the Heisman Trophy at Flor-ida and twice absconded with signifi cant NFL loot, a stunning amount for disap-pointing careers as a back-up San Francisco quarter-back and miscast leader of the Washington Redskins.

As Florida coach, he was great. He directed the Gators to a national title and changed the way we look at college football. He switched quarterbacks wil-ly-nilly. His team presented something called fun ’n gun

Marvin West

which meant they threw when they were supposed to run and scored far more than necessary.

Sometimes Spurrier took it too far. He whipped up on Tennessee and scattered a lot of bratty sarcasm. He was a particular pain for Phillip Fulmer.

In older age, Spurrier has transformed South Caro-lina into a championship contender, lifting it higher than it has previously been. I suppose he enjoys the dis-tinction, power and perks.

Spurrier receives $3.55 million but no longer ac-cepts football raises. He says he is embarrassed by how much he makes.

He is not fl awless. Steve isn’t much for accepting blame. He still gets red-faced when breaks go against him. Now and then he tosses a player or assistant coach un-der the proverbial bus. He was so bad on a recent TV

show, some friends and foes thought he was impaired. That is code for hung over.

Producers cancelled re-runs and removed the show from public accessibility.

That did not eliminate the smirk. Spurrier looks as if he knows stuff he isn’t telling. Maybe he is laugh-ing inside because his job is not as tough as we all pre-tend. Do you think he is a workaholic? Do you believe he keeps going over game fi lm until he falls asleep on the offi ce couch?

Down deep, I like the guy. He is entertaining. He can bring tears with a hokey pre-game pep talk. He is capable of extended pleas with of-fi cials when he knows he is wrong.

See him at the big stadi-um. He is worth at least half the cost of admission. An upset knockout by the Vols would be worth much more. Marvin West invites reader reaction. His

address is westwest6@netzero.com.

Ambrose Everett Burn-side reported on June 1, 1843, to begin the rigor and strict discipline at the Unit-ed States Military Academy at West Point. He graduated in 1847 number 18 of the 38 who survived the four years.

The Mexican War had begun in 1846. Burnside arrived in Mexico when the war was almost over and

Burnside’s journey to Knoxvillewas assigned to tedious ad-ministrative duties. With the war offi cially ended in the spring of 1848, he was transferred to Fort Adams, R.I. on Narragansett Bay.

By 1851, he was back at Fort Adams and, within 30 days, he married Mary Richmond Bishop whom he must have known when fi rst assigned there. After a 60-day leave, they moved into their fi rst home, a bricked-up casemate at the fort.

Burnside resigned his army commission in 1853 to open a factory in Bristol, R.I. where he manufactured the breech-loading car-bine he had designed. He was forced into bankruptcy when the hoped-for govern-ment contracts did not ma-terialize.

When the Civil War began in 1861, Burnside accepted

appointment as colonel of the 1st Rhode Island Vol-unteers. His was one of the fi rst 90-day regiments to reach Washington when the capital was threatened. In July of 1861 at First Manas-sas he commanded a brigade that was involved at Henry House Hill. In spite of Burn-side’s efforts to rally them,

his Rhode Islanders became a part of the general rout of the Union army in that fi rst major battle of the war.

Soon thereafter Burnside organized and carried out a diffi cult amphibious opera-tion on the North Carolina coast. A fl otilla of 80 ships carrying 20,000 men de-parted Annapolis on Jan. 6, the ship’s captains carrying sealed orders to be unsealed when they reached open sea. By mid-January most of the ships had survived several

storms and arrived at Hat-teras Inlet to disembark the relieved soldiers on North Carolina shores. On Feb. 8, Burnside captured Roanoke Island and more than 2,500 Confederates. In 10 demor-alizing months, this was the North’s fi rst signifi cant triumph, although Ulysses S. Grant would capture Fort Donelson eight days later and overshadow it. As he was prone to do, the humble Burnside credited Gens. Foster, Reno and Parke.

His performance earned him a promotion to major general (effective March 18, 1862). On Sept. 17 of that year at the Battle of Antie-tam, when speed was criti-cal to victory for Burnside’s 9th Corps and his superior, Gen. George McClellan, both displayed hesitancies. Burnside’s delay in crossing a stone bridge over Antietam Creek –eventually known as “Burnside’s Bridge” – cost him the opportunity to over-

run the enemy. Antietam was the bloodi-

est single day of the war.Casualties exceeded 24,000(11,500 Confederates and12,800 Federals). RobertE. Lee lost 28 percent of hisarmy, McClellan lost 24 per-cent. The battle was deemeda political victory in theNorth and provided Lincolnthe opportunity to issue theEmancipation Proclamation.

Burnside was an able sub-ordinate who doubted hisown ability as a command-er. He declined Lincoln’soffer to be Commander ofthe Army of the Potomactwice, when Lincoln decid-ed McClellan proceeded tooslowly. Eventually, he reluc-tantly accepted the positionon Nov. 7, 1862. Burnside’sArmy of the Potomac num-bered 130,000 men andwas encamped on StaffordHeights overlooking the cityof Fredericksburg, Va. from

the east bank of the Rap-pahannock River. The pon-toons needed to bridge the river arrived after much delay on Nov. 25, but it was another three weeks before Burnside was ready.

The delay enabled Lee to unite his two corps of the Army of Northern Virginia under Gen. James Long-street along Marye’s Heights and Gen. T.J. “Stonewall” Jackson along the river to the south. Despite the strength of the Confederate position, Burnside ordered frontal attacks by units un-der Gens. Edwin Sumner

and William Franklin on Dec. 13, 1862. In eleven at-tacks on Longstreet’s corps on Marye’s Heights during that long day, the Feder-als were beaten back with heavy losses. Darkness ended the slaughter. Burn-side was almost overcome by grief in the face of 12,653 Federal casualties (killed, wounded and missing) as to 5,309 for the defending Confederates.

The Army of the Potomac was again demoralized, having lost faith in its com-mander. In a poorly con-ceived attempt to redeem

himself, Burnside planned to march the Army above Fredericksburg, cross the Rappahannock and fall on the rear of the enemy. The lead elements moved out on Jan. 19, 1863. No sooner had the march begun when high winds and pelting rain disorganized it. The men, the animals, the artillery and the supply wagons were stalled in the mud. Burnside canceled the march on Jan. 23 and the army straggled back to its old camp on Staf-ford Heights opposite Fred-ericksburg. Two days later Burnside was relieved of command in favor of Gen. Joseph Hooker.

Burnside was ordered to Kentucky as Commander of the Army of the Ohio. Lincoln instructed him to enter East Tennessee and to secure it for the Union as soon as possible. There were numerous reasons for delay, not the least of which was the campaign for Vicks-burg. The 8,000 men of Burnside’s 9th Corps had been detached to join Grant there. Gen. Pemberton sur-rendered to Grant on July 4, 1863 and Burnside’s corps rejoined him in Kentucky. He now felt that he was strong enough to enter East Tennessee.

He left Nicholasville, Ky.

on Aug. 16 with 15,000 men to travel 220 miles across the desolate mountains into East Tennessee. One diarist wrote of this march: “If this is the kind of country we are fi ghting for, I am in favor of letting the Rebs take their land ... and go to (hell), for I wouldn’t give a bit of an acre for all the land I have seen in the last four days.”

On Sept. 3, he reached Knoxville without opposi-tion. Senator Harris of New York received this message from his son, “Glory be to God, the Yankees have come! The fl ag’s come back to Tennessee! Such were the welcomes all along the road,

as we entered Knoxville, it was past all description. The people seemed frantic with joy. I never knew what the Love of Liberty was be-fore. The old fl ag has been hidden in mattresses and under carpets. It now fl oats to the breeze at every staff in East Tennessee. Ladies wear it – carry it – wave it! Little children clap their hands and kiss it.”

The stage was set. On Nov. 29, 1863 Burnside and Confederate Gen. James Longstreet would meet at the Battle of Fort Sanders.

It would prove to be Burnside’s best day of the war and Longstreet’s worst.

When my daughters were youngsters living at home, they would (especially on a Friday night) ask if there was a chance “the biscuit lady” would show up the next morning. It was their way of requesting that I make biscuits for breakfast.

Biscuits are a southern thing. There are indigenous breads all over the world, but biscuits are ours. Oh, you can fi nd biscuits in the North and even in the West. However, what the poor, struggling souls who live there think of as biscuits don’t even come close to Southern biscuits.

That’s because they don’t know about White Lily fl our.

One fall Sunday morning many years ago, in my moth-er’s Sunday school class, the question was posed: “What are you thankful for?”

Macel spoke up unhesi-tatingly with her answer: “White Lily fl our!”

The class burst into laughter, but the women, at least, knew what she meant. White Lily is made with soft Southern wheat, and it is a whole ’nother thing when it comes to biscuits. White Lily biscuits fl oat off the plate if you are not careful.

I thought of all this again this morning as I made bis-cuits for breakfast.

Jesus called himself the “bread of life,” meaning, as I understand it, that basic, fundamental requirement for the sustaining life.

Bread always has mean-ing.

A biscuit means a South-ern breakfast. A croissant means an elegant brunch. A hot dog bun means a cook-out or a football game. A skillet of cornbread dripping

The bread of life “I am the bread of life. Your ancestors ate the

manna in the wilderness, and they died. This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that one may eat of it and not die. I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats of this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my fl esh.” (John 6: 48-51 NRSV)

with butter (no margarine, please!) means comfort.

Jesus, the Bread of Life, means life itself, as well as home and love and peace. Jesus, the Bread of Life, in-vites us to participate in his life, to feed on his wisdom, to partake of his goodness, to sustain ourselves with his strength.

On World Communion Sunday, as I extended my cupped hands to receive the Body of Christ in the form of bread, I was moved once more by the simplicity of the symbols: bread and the juice of the grape. As simple and ordinary as biscuits, yet full of power and meaning, because Jesus, on the last night of his earthly life, im-bued them with eternal sig-nifi cance:

“Those who eat my fl esh and drink my blood have eternal life, and I will raise them up on the last day; for my fl esh is true food and my blood is true drink. Those who eat my fl esh and drink my blood abide in me, and I in them.” (John 6: 54-56)

And so the pastor puts a bit of bread in my hand, and says those miraculous words that never cease to amaze and humble me:“This is the body of Christ, broken for you. Take and feed on him in your heart with thanksgiving.”

welcomed its new pastor Jonathan Absher during the worship service Oct. 6. Ab-sher replaces Larry Woods, who pastored the church for 35 years. He said he hopes his tenure will last as long.

“The congregation has been great in helping me move in,” he said. “One of the neat things about this area is the number of fami-lies and young people who

are still here. The number of youth here holds a strong appeal for me and there is such a good cross-dynam-ic.”

Absher is a graduate of Johnson University and re-cently pastored a similar-sized church in West Vir-ginia. He is a Pittsburgh Pirates fan and is an avid cyclist who has competed in triathlons. He hopes to bring a renewed connection with God to the community.

“I have seen a lot of weak faith crumble because of a lack of connection. I want to help people connect and have a relationship with God that affects every part of their life. If I can do that in a place I consider home and maybe occasionally catch a UT game on Satur-day then that is the place I need to be.”

He and wife Beth are looking forward to explor-ing the parks and trails in

joy in mudville, but the Knox Sentinels sure love it.

The 8U little-league baseball team plays for the love of the game, but this year they are playing with a capital P, which stands for purpose and pink.

“We are raising money for the Thompson Can-cer Survival Center for the month of October by wear-ing these (pink) uniforms,” says coach Matt Peters. “We are also accepting dona-tions and are auctioning off some items.

“Our kids and parents

love this game and our com-munity, and we as coaches truly want what is best for our kids.”

The team plays in the rec league at Halls Community Park and in tournaments throughout the Knox area.

“We strive to build a sense of team and a base-

ball family. Our coaches are dedicated to giving the kids what they need and teach them to grow through a sport they love. Our kids work as hard as they can at the game and still have a blast.”

So does Peters, a Knox-ville Police Department offi -cer, who was recently given the Knox City/County Parks and Recreation coaches’ award.

He says the team plays to learn baseball, of course, and they want to do well. But the coaches want the players to always love the game, understand the im-portance of community ser-vice and help fi nd a cure for the Big C.

And that’s a win no mat-ter what happens on the fi eld.

Shopper-News Presents Miracle Makers

Knox County Council PTA Nominate a Miracle Maker by calling

(865) 922-4136.

By Betsy PickleNancy Friedrich had her midlife

crisis at the same time her husband had his. In fact, they had the same one.

They didn’t buy expensive cars or look for newer-model spouses. They didn’t head to Monte Carlo or buy tickets to the International Space Station.

Successful in business but not fulfi lled by the rewards, the Friedrichs decided to go back to school.

“We both went back and got post-baccalaureate degrees to become teachers,” says Nancy Friedrich.

Well, there are those who say that spending time with young people keeps you young, so maybe teaching is a good antidote to the middle-age crazies. It seems to be working for Friedrich. After a day with her 4th graders at Dogwood Elementary School, she’s full of energy and ideas.

She’s in her seventh year of teaching and is at her second school. Previously, she spent 3 1/2 years teaching fi fth grade at Sarah Moore Greene. Her husband, Jim, teaches business classes at Hardin Valley Academy.

“After all these years, we fi nally are on the same schedule,” she says. “We’ve enjoyed it. We’ve made the most of it.”

It’s probably not fair to say that the Friedrichs are new to teaching. After all, they are the parents of two adult sons – one is a Lutheran minister in Amarillo, Texas, and the other is an engineer who works for Rolls-Royce in Indianapolis. A third son is a junior at West High School.

Friedrich grew up in Indiana and went to Butler University in Indianapolis, where she majored in journalism. She came to Knoxville in 1982 because she was “following a boy” who had gotten a job at the World’s Fair. She and that “nice boy” have been married for 31 years.

They have spent their adult lives in Knoxville except for three years when her husband’s job took them to Vienna when their older sons were in grade school. It was while they were living in Austria that they fi rst considered the idea of teaching – at an international school.

Friedrich was a technical writer for Philips Consumer Electronics Co. for eight years before hanging her own shingle in technical writing for 15 years.

“What’s nice about being a teacher here and being an older teacher – with this being my second career – is I’m able to be a mentor,” she says. Most of the teachers around her are much younger, and a lot of UT

students pass through for training.“I may not have as many years of

teaching experience,” she says, but there

are other things that contribute to being a

success in the classroom – “being a parent, living life,

work experience, travel, adopting a child.”

The latter was an unexpected circumstance. Jacob came into the Friedrichs’ lives when he was 6 months old and his teen mother, Kesha, was being treated for cancer. They lived with the Friedrichs for four years, until the young woman died at 21.

“She wanted us to raise her child. It was never in our plan.

“She was one of the reasons Jim and I wanted to get into teaching. Kesha never fi nished high school. We surrounded her with books and travel. She got her GED when she was with us.

“The role of nurture – there’s a lot to be said for that.”

Friedrich nurtures teenagers through a nonprofi t set up by her church, St. John’s Lutheran. She’s the executive director of WOW (Win Our World) Urban Ministry.

“It’s a program that teaches youth – middle- and high-school kids – how to serve in the urban setting.”

The program focuses on faith formation, leadership development and urban mission work. Instead of going on mission trips to foreign lands, youth groups come to St. John’s and spend time working with Knox Area Rescue Ministries, Project Live, the Salvation Army, Wesley House, Volunteer Ministry Center and the Fresh Air Camp.

“Pastor Amy (Figg) and I train high-school kids to run this themselves. The great thing about being a teacher is you’re off in the

summer and can focus on other things without having to worry about your job.”

Of course, having that job is what makes projects like WOW possible for her. She does it as a volunteer, with no pay, and she spends many hours planning, preparing and working on it.

It’s one of her passions.“I’m trying to make a difference

in my neck of the woods. I wanted to save the world, but I’m making a difference where I am.”

She loves travel, especially to exotic places, and that international school isn’t totally out of the question, but for now the only destination she has in mind is Amarillo, where she has a 4-month-old grandchild.

Meanwhile, she’s enjoying her journey at Dogwood. Being an educator fi ts with her mission mind-set.

“I can’t show my faith here, but I can absolutely live it and model it. I can show them unconditional love. I make them feel safe and cared for, and I’ll teach them something, too.”

Dental AnswersDr. Steven C. Crippen

Steven C. Crippen, D.D.S.General Dentistry • Evening Appointments Available

Maynardville Hwy. at Temple Acres Drive 922-6381

Question: “Do cavities in teeth always

cause pain or sensitivity?”

Answer: No, not all cavities in teeth cause

sensitivity, discomfort, or pain. Sometimes

decay can penetrate into the "nerve" of

a tooth before pain occurs. This is why

regular dental check-ups (or examinations)

and preventive dentistry are so important.

Decay that penetrates the "nerve" in a

tooth usually will cause the need for root

canal treatment or extraction of the tooth.

Since dental procedures such as root canal

treatments are expensive today (often

over $700.00), regular dental visits help to

prevent such costs. A dental examination

is strongly recommended every six months

for all.

Questions for “Dental Answers” are

welcomed and should be sent to our address

at 7409 Temple Acres Drive, Knoxville, TN,

37938.

NEWS FROM WELLSPRING SENIOR LIVING

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 17, 20134:30 TO 7:00 P.M.

Wellspring Senior Living at Powell • 7545 Thunder Lane Powell, TN 37849

Appalachian Craft Demonstrations | RefreshmentsModel Rooms | SimpleC Memory Care Demonstrations

Please Join Us ForFALL FESTIVAL and OPEN HOUSE

Wellspring To Hold Open House October 17

Prospective residents and their families, caregivers, and the commu-nity are invited to attend Wellspring Senior Living at Powell’s open house and fall festival on Thursday, October 17 from 4:30 to 7:00 pm. In addition to refreshments there will be a variety of Appalachian craft demonstrations such as broom making, butter churn-ing, and making apple butter. Enter-tainment will be provided by musician Jim Clark. In addition, Activities Di-rector Ruth Wilburn will demonstrate the activities that have been popular with residents to show the families what their loved ones experience at Wellspring.

Most important to those impact-ed by Alzheimer’s disease or other memory-impairing conditions is Well-spring’s state-of-the-art approach de-signed to stimulate residents’ memo-ries and senses through practical life activities. “We focus on caring for the individual, with programs that can be tailored specifi cally to your loved one’s needs,” says Skip Wheeler, Wellspring Community Relations Director. “We are committed to providing a secure environment that promotes dignity and maintains physical and emotional health and stability.”

Wellspring Senior Living is the only assisted living and memory care pro-vider in Knoxville to offer the SimpleC Companion. This new technology for dementia care promotes memory, en-gagement, and better communication for seniors. SimpleC’s academic part-ners’ research shows that SimpleC us-ers benefi t from memory stimulants such as their own family photographs and audio recordings of personal-

ized messages from family, friends, or caregivers which helps to maintain healthy daily routines. This non-phar-maceutical, computer-based therapy has been proven to enhance nutrition, increase participation in activities, and improve sleep quality among se-nior adults.

Wellspring’s all-inclusive monthly rate structure, which provides an af-fordable option that cuts out the in-stability that level- and point-based pricing methods can create, is another unique feature of this dynamic new community. “We want residents to be comfortable asking for more help when they need it instead of being worried about additional charges for those services,” says Wheeler. Ameni-ties offered to all Wellspring residents include dedicated and trained care-givers 24 hours a day, licensed nurs-ing staff, emergency response system, medication management services, a wellness program, pharmacy services, beautician and barber services, house-keeping/linen/laundry services, and a full time maintenance and safety staff.

Open since August 2013, Well-spring’s Powell location was the sec-ond newly constructed location of four planned for East Tennessee. Well-spring Senior Living at Raintree in West Knoxville opened in December 2012. In late May 2013, Wellspring Se-nior Living at Sevierville broke ground and is expected to open in early 2014, and an additional location is expected to open in Johnson City later in 2014.

For more information about Well-spring Senior Living, visit www.well-springseniorliving.com or call (865) 362-5398.

Appointed with lush architectural details

throughout, Wellspring off ers a variety

of fl oor plans, all with complimentary

utilities.

Wellspring believes that memorable

dining with home-style cooking helps

make meals a convivial social event and

employs only culinary-trained chefs with

retail restaurant experience rather than

cooks from institutional backgrounds.

Phillips gets Gill awardRichard Phillips, general manager of the Northeast

Knox Utility District, has received the Allan Gill Leader-ship Award, the highest award given to a utility district manager or assistant manager in the state.

The award was named for the late Allan Gill, founding manager of Hallsdale Pow-ell Utility District.

Phillips has been with Northeast for 17 years, part of a 35-year career in the water industry. He was nominated for the award by Northeast’s president, Ann Acuff, and

was honored at the recent Tennessee Association of Utility Districts meeting in Gatlinburg.

During his tenure, Northeast installed an automatic meter reading system, constructed three new storage res-ervoirs, and built a new administrative building.

Ice or heatHow do you choose?

Which is better on an injury, ice or heat? According to Stephen Karp, manager of the Fort Sanders Therapy Center, that depends on what you’re treating, for how long and what you hope to achieve.

Heat before exercise Heat improves blood fl ow to tissues, so it can relax tight muscles and

reduce a muscle spasm. It’s best to use heat before exercise to increase the fl exibility of stiff joints and muscles. Heat therapy can also help ease the pain of chronic arthritis, as long as the joint is not swollen.

Heat after injury Don’t apply heat directly after an injury or exercise, as that can make

swelling and pain worse. When your initial pain has subsided, apply heat for about 15 to 20 minutes at a time, but be careful to buffer your skin with clothing to prevent burns. “And don’t use a heating pad while sleeping,” adds Karp. “People have suffered serious burns to their skin from heating pads left unmonitored.”

Ice after exercise or injury Using an ice pack is best immediately after an injury or the overuse

of joints and muscles during a workout or run. Cold reduces swelling and pain by causing the blood vessels to constrict and narrow.

Apply an ice pack to an injury for about 10 minutes at a time, but let the skin warm up again before applying another ice pack. This can be repeated several times each day for three days.

“Overusing an already aggravated muscle or joint can lead to more serious damage,” adds Karp. “If you have any persistent pain in a joint or muscle for more than several days, you should see your doctor.”

Your physician may suggest that you alter your activities to provide relief to the joint or muscle affected. Or, you may be referred to a physi-cal therapist for more targeted treatment.

Physical therapist Jennifer Templeton addresses lower back pain on patient

Tim French at Fort Sanders Therapy Center-Downtown.

The McKenzie Method® for back pain now available close to home

Imagine a life without crip-pling back pain. The proven success of the McKenzie Meth-od® at Covenant Therapy Cen-ters provides a non-surgical op-tion for many of the 20 percent of adults enduring chronic back pain. “It gave me back the life I thought I’d lost forever” said one recent patient.

Also known as Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy (MDT), the McKenzie Method® has superior functional outcomes for back, neck and extremity problems. It emphasizes educa-tion and active patient involve-ment to decrease pain quickly,

restore normal function, pre-vent recurrence and minimize dependence on medical inter-vention.

As with most things, a suc-cessful solution depends on properly identifying the prob-lem. Pain is a symptom, not a diagnosis. The certifi ed McK-enzie therapist utilizes a com-prehensive process to fi nd the underlying cause. In fact, re-search has shown the initial McKenzie assessment to be as reliable as costly diagnostic imaging (i.e., X-rays, MRIs) to determine the problem and quickly identify responders and

non-responders. “Even if you have to crawl in to see her, you can walk out because she deter-mines where the pain’s coming from and what to do about it” said a patient of certifi ed McK-enzie physical therapist Mary Satterfi eld, with Fort Sanders Regional Therapy Center in Powell.

Certifi ed McKenzie thera-pists are available at four Cov-enant Therapy Center locations in three counties.

For more information about this or any of the other physical, speech & occupational therapy programs call (865) 541-1300.

Physical TherapyThe ins and outs to make it work for you

October is not only a count-down to the ghosts and goblins of Halloween, but it’s also National Physical Therapy Month, which is an effort to help people under-stand the benefi ts of treatment from a physical therapist.

At Fort Sanders Therapy Cen-ters, educating patients is a yearly process for the staff, with a focus on the best course of action to make sure therapy will accomplish realistic goals for the patient, ac-cording to physical therapist Jen-nifer Templeton.

But for potential patients look-ing for the relief of pain, is physi-cal therapy right for you? Here’s a look at what physical therapists can do and why it might be the right fi t.

What is physical therapy?Physical therapy focuses on

rehabilitating a patient’s impair-ments or disabilities by promot-ing increased mobility, strength and function in order to improve quality of life. Physical therapy is performed by licensed Physi-cal Therapists (PTs) and Physical Therapist Assistants (PTAs).

Who are physical therapists and physical therapy assistants?

Physical therapists are trained movement specialists. They have advanced degrees and licenses cer-tifying their knowledge on how the human body works and moves. All physical therapists have earned at least a bachelor’s degree in physi-cal therapy; recent graduates have obtained clinical doctorate de-grees.

Therapists’ specialized training allows them to examine, evaluate, diagnose and set a treatment plan for movement disorders. Physical therapist assistants have an as-sociate’s degree in treating move-ment disorders and are licensed to follow the plan of care set by the PT.

What is a movement disorder and what kinds of disorders do physical therapists treat?

Movement disorders are medi-cal issues that limit a person’s abil-ity to get out of bed, stand, walk, reach or perform other daily tasks. Therapy focuses on four systems of the human body:

■ Musculoskeletal – the bones, joints and muscles that move your body.

■ Neurological – the brain, spinal cord and nerves that carry signals from your brain to the body to tell it what actions to perform; nerves also carry information (such as sensation or pain) from the body to the brain.

■ Cardiovascular/ Pulmo-nary – the heart, lungs and blood vessels that supply blood and oxy-gen to working muscles.

■ Integumentary – the skin and lymphatic systems that fi lter out unwanted germs and fl uid.

Where do physical therapists work?

Physical therapists work in many settings, including hospitals, re-habilitation centers (in-cluding Fort Sanders Therapy Center’s sister clinic at Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center), skilled nursing facilities,

outpatient centers and even a pa-tient’s home.

Is physical therapy right for you?

If you are having joint pain, lim-ited motion or strength, or diffi cul-ties when performing the activities you like to do because of pain, then physical therapy may be able to help. You will need a doctor’s order to begin physical therapy, so talk to your primary care provider or specialist to see if physical therapy could help you. Physical therapy is covered by most insurance plans.

At Fort Sanders Therapy Cen-ters, therapists have specialized training in treating orthopedic and sports injuries, chronic headaches and neck pain, back pain, and pel-vic fl oor dysfunction.

Helping patients to reach their goals is what makes the work so rewarding, according to physical therapist Jennifer Templeton, PT, DPT, OCS.

“It’s great to watch the patient progress from being unable to do an activity to no longer needing help,” said Templeton.

“If you’re looking for a therapy center, fi nd one that encourages its therapists to pursue continuing education and learn the newest techniques,” Templeton suggests. “At Fort Sanders, we are encour-aged to attend specialty courses in advanced techniques.”

Along with one-on-one treat-ment, she says, “this emphasis oncontinuing education sets us apartby raising our quality of care andimproving patient outcomes.”

Tim French, 35, chose FortSanders Therapy Center after hav-ing back surgery in 2005. French struggled with back and leg pain,in addition to having balance is-sues due to leg weakness.

As he worked with Templeton, French experienced less pain andimproved leg strength he neverthought he would see.

“I used to struggle with sig-nifi cant weakness in my left calf,but now I’m doing things that Inever thought possible,” Frenchexplained. “I’ve also seen my bal-ance come back, and slowly thepain in my back and legs has de-creased.”

At a normal therapy session,French will do numerous leg and back strengthening exercises, with Templeton supervising him.

“The therapists are really good about isolating the injury and fo-cusing on making it better,” said French. “I trust Jennifer and her colleagues so much because Iknow they have my best interests in mind and want to do what it takes to continue my improve-ment.”

Blessed petsA recent beautiful Sunday

afternoon was the setting for the Blessing of the Ani-mals at St. James Episcopal Church on North Broadway. A crowd of about 40 came with their pets to enjoy the stunning weather and par-ticipate in the ceremony.

“It’s always wonderful to see the controlled chaos,” said parish administra-tor and long-time church member Marilyn Canady, remarking upon “the bless-ing that all God’s creatures are to us.”

Begun by Britain’s Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in 1975, animal blessing ceremonies refl ect a growing concern for the welfare of other species.

They are held by many Christian denominations around the world on the Sun-day closest to Oct. 4, the feast day of St. Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals.

“May God bless you and

may you continue to be a sign and witness to God’s love in the world,” said the Rev. John Mark Wiggers as he laid his hand on each beloved furry head. The blessing recipients included mostly dogs, but also cats and several horses.

“We’ve been doing this every year for about ten years,” said Canady, “So put it on your calendar!”Send story suggestions to news@
