By Sandra ClarkTommy Schumpert has re-

ceived the Claude C. Myers Award from the Fountain City Business and Professional Association.

“We selected him for his many years of service to the Fountain City community as a coach and teacher at Central High and while county trustee and executive,” said club president Andrew Har-tung. “Tommy has been a big sup-porter of our schools and is very deserving of this honor.”

Calling it a great honor, Schumpert said he must have been chosen because he’s one of the few residents left who actually knew Claude Myers, longtime president of Fountain City Bank. “I saw Richard Tumblin there. I’m sure

he knew him.”Claude Myers had a huge im-

pact on families and businesses through the bank, Schumpert said. “When I was teaching (gen-eral business at Central High School) we would go through a chapter on banking, and I’d think, ‘Fountain City Bank doesn’t oper-ate like that.’ ”

Bank offi cers knew their custom-ers and often weren’t constrained by the bureaucracy of larger banks. “(The bank) was a little different, and it made a lot of impact.

“If (Mr. Myers) knew you and believed in you, he would go to the hill for you.”

Schumpert is an active member of Fountain City United Methodist Church. He was the community’s

fi rst man of the year, selected by Fountain City Town Hall in 1976. He and his wife, Charlotte, are longtime residents of Fountain City.

Schumpert was Knox County trustee for four years and was county executive for eight years. Schumpert Park off Dry Gap Pike is named for him.

Since retirement, he’s headed a scholarship program funded by EdSouth, now Southeast Bank. “It’s very rewarding,” he said. “We’ve served about 110 young-sters from across the state in al-most every public and private col-lege.”

Many of the students are the fi rst in their families to attend col-lege. When they gather for dinner,

By Wendy SmithWayne Blasius, who began his

new job as executive director of the East Tennes-see Community Design Center this week, remembers having coffee with Annette Anderson back in 1977.

Anderson was executive director of the design cen-ter from 1973 to

1995. She was one of the fi rst peo-ple Blasius met when he arrived in Knoxville to begin graduate work in urban planning. They talked about the importance of getting involved in the community, and the conversation stoked his enthu-siasm for civic engagement.

In the years since, Blasius has volunteered for the design center,

Knox Heritage, Leadership Knox-ville, the Central Business Im-provement District and the Knox-ville Chamber of Commerce, along with other organizations.

“I strongly believe in giving back, that our community is only as good as the work its citizens are willing to put into it.”

He grew up in the Chicago area and didn’t intend to stay in Knox-ville. But the South grew on him − especially the warm winters.

After Blasius fi nished his de-gree, he was hired as a planner for the Metropolitan Planning Com-mission. He worked on the down-town master plan that ultimately led to that area’s renaissance.

His fi rm, InSite Development, also contributed to downtown’s revitalization with the redevelop-ment of the Phoenix and the Mast General Store/Gallery Lofts.

Knoxville has an incredible his-toric building stock, he says.

“If you look down Gay Street, there are not many missing teeth.”

The area has remained intact because businesses had little eco-nomic incentive to be there dur-ing the 1960s and 1970s, he says. If downtown had been booming, some of the buildings would have been torn down and replaced with modern equivalents.

When it comes to good design, there’s always room for improve-ment, and he hopes the design center will continue to be a play-er in that. Blasius took the reins from interim executive director Mary Linda Schwarzbart, whom he commends for her leadership. He also praises the design center’s staff and volunteer board.

He thinks his ability to envi-sion a new future for downtown’s

big, empty buildings will help him lead the design center, though its scope goes far beyond the city center. Knoxville and its outlying communities depend on each oth-er, and good design is benefi cial to everybody, he says.

The ETCDC, which serves a 16-county region, provides profes-sional design and planning services to communities and nonprofi t orga-nizations that would not otherwise be able to afford such services. Con-ceptual designs for projects, which are chosen based on service to the public, help organizations focus their vision and seek funding.

The design center was founded in 1969 by renowned Knoxville architect Bruce McCarty. Staff is composed of three full-time and two part-time employees. Fund-ing for the nonprofi t comes from grants and donations.

Merry Christmas


Last week, after Presi-dent Obama announced we would normalize relations with Cuba, I tuned in to a lo-cal radio station’s daily talk show anticipating wing-nut hysterics at the news.

I came away gratifi ed.One caller expressed his

displeasure at trading with any Communist nation by asking rhetorically, “Why are we (trading) with Viet-nam, anyway? They killed 55,000 of our men.”

Then, for emphasis: “We shoulda nuked ’em back to the Stone Age.”

For that fellow, nothing exudes Christmas cheer like a glowing, radioactive cra-ter.

Although Obama’s most recent treasonous action was enough in itself to curl his toenails, it turned out the caller was equally out-raged over the origin of his jockey shorts: made in Viet-nam.

After East Tennessee’s version of Gen. Jack D. Rip-per (of “Dr. Strangelove” fame) hung up, I tried to empathize with him.

My jockey shorts are “im-migrants” as well, made in Honduras, but we haven’t had a war with Honduras lately. If we had, I might feel differently.

Then I considered what

To arms, to arms, the #DanishAreComing

LarryVan

Guilder

this country would look like today if we had “nuked” Vietnam: probably a lot like Vietnam but without the jungle. But our actions would also have precipi-tated World War III, and we would have been nuked in turn by the Soviet Union and Red China.

(Jesus said, “Blessed are the peacemakers …” As op-posed to “peacekeepers,” now-retired ICBMs once de-ployed by the United States.)

However, fair-minded individual that I am, I con-ceded that the caller might be on to something.

Vietnam is the wrong target, especially now that it produces serviceable un-derwear. But there are peo-ple, places and things that could do with a good Christ-mas nuking, so I made this list and checked it twice.

Denmark. Peaceful lit-tle Denmark, you say? Ha! Danes, with their well-paid McDonald’s workers and their cream-cheese pastries may seem to be the last peo-ple on earth who deserve in-

dustrial-grade irradiation, but read on. Denmark has decided to lay claim to part of the Arctic surrounding the North Pole. Because the continental shelf running under Greenland stretches to the pole and Greenland is part of the Kingdom of Denmark, the pushy Danes think they can just grab ter-ritory like it was formerly part of Mexico.

Anyone who writes or says anything pre-ceded by a hashtag (#). If you’re like me, it’s becom-ing increasingly diffi cult to restrain the impulse to strangle the next person who uses a hashtag to com-municate feelings, as in, “I feel #blue today,” or opin-ions like “#DanesAreNuts.” Nuking on this scale would mean the end of Twitter, a sweet collateral benefi t.

The National Football League. The conduct of pro football players makes a strong argument for nuking. I’ll exclude Peyton Manning if he agr ees to stop making Papa John’s commercials.

The next politician who says, “I’m not a sci-entist, but …” We’ve been hearing a lot of this from cli-mate-change deniers in re-cent years. We know you’re not scientists; we only wish you would listen to them.

Forty years ago, in 1974, the fi rst woman to represent Knox County in the state Senate was elected in No-vember. Her name was Mar-tha Ashe, and there is quite a story as to how it all hap-pened in an unplanned way.

She was this writer’s mother, and the reader needs to be 60 to have much current memory of the fall campaign in 1974 in Knox County. In fact, the full sto-ry will take up much of two columns, so this story will be continued on Dec. 31.

Martha Ashe was also the fi rst Republican woman ever elected statewide to the Senate. Since then three more women (Jamie Wood-son, Becky Massey and, briefl y, Sue Atchley) have represented Knox County in the state Senate, and many more have served other parts of the state.

At the start of 1974, I was completing my third term in the state House and de-cided to run for the state Senate that year. Tennes-see’s Constitution requires that a state senator be 30 years old. In 1974, I was 29 and would turn 30 on Jan. 1, 1975.

Since the Senate would not convene until the sec-ond Tuesday of January in 1975, I would then be 30. I sought and secured a state Attorney General’s opinion that said I was eligible to run and the Senate would determine the qualifi ca-tions of its own members.

The state Constitution also provides that the term of offi ce begins with the day of election in November.

VictorAshe

The fi rst Martha Ashe

There is not a lame-duck period for state legislators.

My mother at that time had no inkling she might seek the Senate seat but was a vital supporter in my cam-paigns. I declared my can-didacy in the GOP primary and won the nomination over longtime Sheriff Ber-nard Waggoner in August. In addition to the Democrat-ic candidate, Betty Cathey, there was an independent candidate, former state Rep. Jack Comer, whom I had defeated two years earlier for state representative in the GOP primary after re-districting. Comer was irate over his loss.

He fi led as an indepen-dent candidate to gain legal standing to sue over my eli-gibility. The lawsuit is styled Comer v. Ashe and was fi rst heard in Chancery Court by the late Len Broughton, who ruled in my favor, holding that the Senate alone would decide the eligibility of its members. Since the Sen-ate would not convene until January, when I would be 30, the issue would be moot.

However, Comer quickly appealed the decision and asked that the state Su-preme Court hear the case, bypassing the appellate court. The Supreme Court agreed to hear it.

I was ably represented byJack Draper and the late Rob-ert Ritchie, father of formerstate Rep. Wayne Ritchie. Tomy dismay, the court quicklyruled that I was not eligibleto run since I would not be30 the day of the election andordered my name removedfrom the ballot. There wereless than seven weeks to theNovember election and nowno Republican nominee.

The public reaction wasmostly in my favor andagainst the court, which wasseen by many as an arm ofthe Democratic Party.

The story continues innext week’s column with thebattle to name a GOP nomi-nee and the fi ve-week cam-paign to election day.

News gets hard to come by during the holidays, which made this announce-ment from Knox County Schools’ prolifi c public in-formation offi ce enticing:

“PUBLIC NOTICE: (14-173) Please note that two or more Board of Education members may meet on Mon-day, Dec. 15, at 11:30 a.m. at Panera Bread, 2000 Cum-berland Avenue. Education issues will be discussed and minutes will be taken. All board members are wel-come to attend and will pay for their own meals.”

So it was no surprise that two reporters played Cum-berland Avenue parking-spot roulette and showed up

Lunching in the sunshine

at the popular campus café. No telling what they were going to be talking about, right?

But there was no news broken at the meet-ing, which was attended by board members Patti Bounds, Amber Rountree, Terry Hill and Doug Har-ris, as well as assistant superintendent Elizabeth Alves (who got stuck taking notes). Also present were

Knox County Education As-sociation president Tanya T. Coats and Rountree’s 3-month-old son, Teddy, for whose affections Hill and Bounds competed as they discussed problems fi nding substitute teachers.

Afterward, Bounds was a little embarrassed about the announcement. Turns out that she, Hill and Roun-tree, who regularly attend Bible study together, just wanted to have lunch. In an abundance of caution, they reported it to KCS spokes-person Melissa Ogden, who “sunshined” the meeting, i.e., sent out a formal no-tice in compliance with the state’s sunshine law.

“We were just going to get together and have lunch. … Our intent was to convey that business ‘may be dis-cussed,’ but it was really just some people wanting to get together and have lunch, but not wanting our conver-sation to be limited to small talk. I’m surprised we didn’t have cameras rolling,” Bounds said, barely stifl ing a laugh.

This abundance of cau-tion is typical of Knox County elected offi cials, who are still smarting from the aftermath of “Black Wednesday,” when County Commission got itself into a world of trouble by ap-pointing spouses, kinfolk

and drinking buddies to seats they were being forced to vacate after the state Su-preme Court forced Knox County to abide by term-limits laws, thumbing their collective noses at Tennes-see’s Open Meetings Act in the process.

Even though school board members weren’t the offenders, they are extremely careful about such things, unlike some of their colleagues across the state.

Take the Metro Nashville school board, for example, which recently attempted to choose a new superin-tendent by secret ballot. Astonishingly unaware of

the state’s open-meetings law, they were publicly hu-miliated when Jeff Woods of the alt-weekly The Nash-ville Scene pointed out that state law is pretty clear: “No secret votes, or secret bal-lots, or secret roll calls shall be allowed.” A do-over fol-lowed.

Sometimes scoop-hun-gry local media get a little aggravated by investing time covering meetings that produce no fi reworks.

But those of us who’ve been around long enough to remember the bad old days can’t help but appreciate the transparency that has become a way of doing busi-ness.

My favorite Christmas memory isn’t really a mem-ory at all. It’s a feeling. It’s the excitement I experi-enced when I walked out of my grandmother’s house on Christmas Eve knowing Christmas was the next day.

My brother and I couldn’t stop grinning during the car ride home. “Can you believe it? Tomorrow, when we wake up, it will be Christmas!” we’d say, and fi ve minutes later, we’d say it again.

It was sheer bliss know-ing that something magical was going to happen, and no matter what we found under the tree, it was going to be good.

Each Christmas, I try to fi nd something − twinkling lights, a delicious smell or a beautiful carol − that makes me feel like a kid again. This year, it was the eighth an-nual Tour de Lights.

This was the fi rst year the annual bike ride was part of Knoxville’s Christmas in the City, and I was honored

Tour de Lights is holiday magic

to be asked to help judge the event’s costume contest. When I arrived at Market Square, I was handed a clip-board and asked to mingle with the hundred or so cos-tumed participants.

The categories included best costume, best helmet, best group, best bike and best overall. I met a man wearing a top hat made out of a coffee can and adorned with a candle. I met Mayor Tim Burchett’s cousin, P.J., who restored the 1950s bike ridden by his wife, Beau-mont Elementary art teach-er Cheryl Burchett, as well as his own 1930s-era bicy-cle, which he found leaning against a tree in the woods.

He had to cut the bike out of the tree, which had grown around it.

I met the Three Wise Men, two of whom were women. They followed a star that hung from a pole attached to one of the bikes.

Saul Young, my favorite News Sentinel photogra-pher, looked more like Alice from “The Brady Bunch” than a wise man in his ruf-fl ed bath robe.

I met Steve McGhee, who had so many lights on

his bike and helmet that I thought he must be an engi-neer. He turned out to be a pharmacist.

My job would’ve been easy if not for the continu-ous stream of entrants. I thought I’d picked my favor-

ites until I met David Stair, with a shiny, red present on his helmet, and his wife, Debbie, who wore a Christ-mas tree costume made of real hemlock branches. I also ran into my friend from the Dogwood Knitters, Lyndsay Crawford, who was dressed as the Doctor from Dr. Who.

In the end, there were 1,023 riders, most of whom sported lights, tinsel or costumes. It was nothing short of magical to watch them depart for a tour of the Fourth & Gill neighbor-hood, even though my toes were numb.

Judging was a challenge, given our absurdly creative community, but it was a pleasure to whittle down the fi nalists with my fellow judge, Erin Donovan of Visit Knoxville. It was even more fun to watch the winners, most of whom were grown-ups, grin as they accepted their prizes.

Perhaps the key to fi nd-ing childlike Christmas bliss is forgetting that you’re a grown-up − just for a little while.

For 17 years, Church Street has created a Walk Through Bethlehem, an

The marketplace offers an authentic food shop, pot-ters who let visitors try their hand at making clay pots, a jewelry-making shop and animals outside in a stable.

The live nativity has Jo-seph, Mary and baby Je-sus. Two babies shared the honors of playing Jesus this year, splitting the duties into two shifts.

By Cindy Taylor’Tis the season for giving,

and members of The Grove church are taking full ad-vantage of the opportunity to bless others.

The church adopted 153 local families for the fourth year of its Christmas Fam-ily Adoption ministry. The program stemmed from the Knoxville Free Food Market, also a Grove min-istry.

Individual families from The Grove adopted fami-lies in need. The ministry provided families with an item of clothing for each adult and an article of clothing and a toy for each child. Distribution day was Dec. 13.

“For many families in our community, these are the only gifts they will get this year,” said Grove pas-tor Scott Sparks. “For our church members it is a privilege to serve the needs of the people in our commu-nity.”

Volunteers spend a good portion of the year work-ing in the adoption minis-try, the Free Food Market and the winter coat and shoe drive. They serve by volunteering on Saturdays,

Corryton Hospitality recently hosted a distribution event, making the holidays a little brighter for many.

More than 440 individuals were served, each receiving approximately 50 pounds of food, as well as free shopping for cloth-ing, toys and stuffed animals. There were

around 80 volunteers who participated inthe distribution and approximately 100 vol-unteers who sorted and bagged the food.

The pantry receives contributions fromarea churches, organizations and individu-als so that assistance is available to thosewho need help.

And she gave birth to her fi rstborn son and wrapped him in bands of cloth, and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn.

(Luke 2: 7 NRSV)

I have often tried to imagine Mary’s dismay when she realized she was going to give birth to the miracle child she was carry-ing – God’s son – in a stable.

The trip from Nazareth to Bethlehem must have been diffi cult enough, and I can only imagine how Mary must have wondered if God was absolutely sure this was the plan.

Joseph obviously loved Mary and trusted God’s angel, who had reassured him early on in Mary’s preg-nancy. But now, Joseph may have had some doubts, too. What in the world was God up to? Was this some very unfunny cosmic joke? A prank? Punishment? If so, for what?

As Lewis and I have tried to sort out this Christmas, with family and dear friends living in fi ve different states, I have been, in turn, frus-trated, sad and hopeful. I was fi nally reminded by my daughter Eden of the loveli-

ness of the problem: having lots of people I love! She assured me that all will be well; we all love each other, we will get together as we can. It will be Christmas no matter what.

I remember so well the Christmas many years ago when the sister of an in-law had no place to be on Christ-mas Eve and was included in our celebration and gift-giving. I will never forget her saying with a sigh, “It’s Christmas, after all.”

As I have looked forward to and prepared for this Christmas, I have tried to be very careful to leave room in my schedule – in my plans, my mind, my heart – for the Christ Child!

The Grove helps families

donating food and sup-porting the ministries fi-nancially.

Each month, several fam-ilies with little or no food are served through the Free Food Market, which in 2014

assisted 6,600 families and more than 17,000 people with more than 115,000 pounds of food.

“The mission of The Grove is to share the love of God in word and action,”

said Sparks. “One of the pri-mary values of our church is that our community is our responsibility.”

The Grove meets in the Halls Middle School audito-rium at 10:30 a.m. Sundays.

By Cindy Taylor “The longer you sit, the dumber you get.” Heather Ab-

bott lives by these words. Abbott, special education teacher at Copper Ridge Elementary, can now incorporate them into her students’ daily lives thanks to the Halls Business and Professional Association.

At the beginning of each school year, the HBPA asks schools to relay their needs so businesses can provide fi -nancial help. BPA members learned that teachers at Cop-per Ridge needed exercise equipment to help emphasize proper diet and physical fi tness. It didn’t take long to get approval from the organization’s board members, and stu-dents at the school now have a new treadmill.

“We are totally thrilled to have a treadmill in our class-room,” said Abbott. “It is hard to get funds to do what we need. We are incorporating a new technique that teaches as the students use the treadmill.”

Former UT quarterback and Denver Broncos stand-out Peyton Manning knows how to give back. Through his PeyBack Foundation, Manning helps promote the future success of disad-vantaged youth by assisting programs that provide lead-ership and growth opportu-nities.

While at UT, Manning would visit classrooms at Beaumont Magnet Academy and work with students. Since his graduation, he has given back to the commu-nity and now has expanded his generosity through Knox County Schools.

Last week, the founda-tion donated $15,000 in gas cards to area schools, and the staff at each school will distribute the cards to fami-lies in need.

“In the past we have put one card each with our school Angel Tree recipi-ents’ gifts,” said social work-er Mimi Jackson from Dog-wood Elementary. “Parents knew that they were getting gifts for their children, but when they saw the gas card, many were moved to tears.”

In 1896, Ballington and Maud Booth founded Vol-unteers of America, which today is one of the region’s largest and most diverse service organizations. VOA offers numerous housing projects to people across the U.S., including Maud Booth Gardens in Knoxville.

Maud Booth Gardens was built in 2001 but looks brand new. Located at 4452 Maud Booth Way just off Washington Ridge Way, it has 37 one-story, one-bedroom apartments. Four are wheelchair acces-sible. These cute and cozy apartments are perfect for seniors who are ready to downsize but still want in-dependent living.

Karen Dunn has worked here as the community ad-ministrator for more than a year, and it’s obvious how much she enjoys the inter-action with the residents. Dunn accepts applications from individuals age 62 or older. Rent is based on in-come. Water and sewer are included, but residents are responsible for their indi-vidual electric bill.

Alan Turing (Benedict Cum-

berbatch) works on a machine

that will break the Nazis’ Enig-

ma in “The Imitation Game.”

By Betsy PickleTwo intense stories are

at work in “The Imitation Game.”

The fi rst is Britain’s race to unravel the mysteries of Nazi Germany’s Enigma coding machine during World War II. The second is the lifelong emotional and sometimes physical assault on mathematical genius Alan Turing, who took the lead on breaking Enigma but suffered greatly as a gay man because of his coun-try’s laws against homosex-uality.

The movie jumps around in time, framed by an inter-rogation of Alan (Benedict Cumberbatch) after the war, when his home has been burglarized but nothing seems to be missing. A zeal-ous police detective, Robert Nock (Rory Kinnear), be-comes suspicious when he is unable to learn what Alan did during the war and sus-

By Betsy PickleBefore the novel

and stage smash “Wicked,” before the TV fantasies “Once Upon a Time” and “Grimm,” the-ater had “Into the Woods,” a dark fairy-tale mash-up that united charac-ters from “Cinder-ella,” “Jack and the Beanstalk,” “Little Red Riding Hood” and “Rapunzel” into one bewitching sto-ry. The musical’s col-orful, often-doomed characters and sly lyrics and music by Stephen Sondheim won over critics and audiences.

Now, 28 years af-ter the stage debut, comes director Rob Marshall’s fi lm ver-sion of “Into the Woods,” with terrifi c singing and acting by stars such as Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt, Anna Kendrick, Johnny Depp, Chris Pine, Christine Baranski and Tracey Ull-man and a host of lesser-knowns.

While it deserves to fi nd a strong following – much more so than the recent “Les

Sturdy ‘Woods’ slyly twists fairy tales

pects him of being a spy.There are several fl ash-

backs to Alan as a youth (played by the appealing Alex Lawther) at school, but the bulk of the screen time is devoted to the adult Tur-ing’s work on building a ma-chine to decode Enigma at Bletchley Park.

Director Morten Tyl-dum, working from Graham Moore’s screenplay, based

on the biography by Andrew Hodges, tends to overdo the friction between Alan and his boss, Commander Denniston (Charles Dance), and between Alan and his colleagues, led by chess champion Hugh Alexander (Matthew Goode). But aside from that two-dimensional bent, the characters and plot twists are absorbing and suspenseful.

Keira Knightley is surpris-ingly good as a bright math-ematician stymied by the male-dominated world she inhabits, and Mark Strong is deliciously manipulative as MI6 chief Stewart Menzies.

The weight of the movie is on Cumb erbatch, however, and he carries it brilliantly. He uses Alan’s struggles – with relationships, working with those who are far from

his intellectual equal and creating his early computer – to move the fi lm forward as well as to make Alan sympathetic.

A quote from childhood friend Christopher Morcom (Jack Bannon) is the light that shines on and through Alan throughout his life. It, and the fi lm, testify to the complexity and potential of all human beings.

Miserables” or Marshall’s own “Chicago” – “Into the Woods” lacks a true show-stopping tune to act as a defi ning siren song, which may hinder its popularity with short-attention-span moviegoers.

James Lapine adapted the screenplay from his book for the musical, and with Sondheim’s words and

music the fi lm is a tantaliz-ing spin on familiar stories. The plight of a childless baker (James Corden) and his wife (Blunt) cursed by a witch neighbor (Streep) weaves the classic tales to-gether.

Everyone has some kind of dilemma, and some of the twists and turns are in-deed Grimm (and unsuited

■ In “Big Eyes,” Amy Ad-ams plays painter Margaret Keane and Christoph Waltz her husband, Walter, who tries to take credit for her work. Tim Burton directed.

■ A literature professor borrows money from his mother and a loan shark to pay off a debt in “The Gambler.” Mark Wahlberg, Jessica Lange, Brie Larson and John Goodman star in a fi lm adapted from the like-titled 1974 fi lm starring James Caan.

■ “Unbroken” tells the story of Olympic distance runner Louis Zamperini, who enlisted in the U.S. Army Air Forces before the attack on Pearl Harbor and survived for 47 days at sea after a search plane he was on crashed in the ocean, only to be captured by the Japanese, who mistreated and tortured him in a POW camp.

■ “Foxcatcher” stars Steve Carell as eccentric multimillionaire John du Pont, who recruits gold-medal-winning wrestler Mark Schultz and his wres-tling-coach brother, David, to train to compete in the Seoul Olympics. Bennett Miller (“Moneyball”) di-rected.

for little ones). Though there isn’t a “hit” among the songs, the lyr-ics are wonder-ful examples of Sondheim’s clev-er word-smithing and build to an emotional wallop with “No One Is Alone.”

It’s always a joy to hear tal-ented actors like Streep, Blunt and Kendrick show off their pipes, but it’s also fun to discover b r e a k t h r o u g h performers like James Corden (the baker) and Billy Magnus-sen (Rapun-zel’s prince) and youngsters like

Lilla Crawford (Red Riding Hood) and Daniel Huttle-stone (Jack) who can sing as well as act.

“Into the Woods” takes viewers on an engaging journey through atmo-spheric sets and timeless questions. It’s a reminder that “happily ever after” does not come smoothly – or predictably.

The baker (James Corden) and his wife (Emily Blunt) get

instructions from the witch (Meryl Streep) that will help

them undo a curse in “Into the Woods.”

Mama, Daddy and I would bundle up and pile into the Dodge station wagon armed with a ther-mos of hot chocolate. And we’d drive all over town looking at the lights.

As an only child, all I had to do was sit, look, wonder and thrill.

Some of the more mod-ern-minded decorators in those “mad men” days favored pastel-colored wheels and artifi cial silver trees, or monochromatic color schemes. Though I appreciate them now, at the time I didn’t care for them. They didn’t “speak”

to a 5-year-old.For me, the only decora-

tions that mattered were bright lights of red, green, gold and white. Maybe a little blue. I could spot them as we started down a street and couldn’t wait until we were in front of the vivid, glowing colors.

My parents were egali-tarian and wanted me to see how everyone lived, so we didn’t just confi ne our-selves to the “better neigh-borhoods.”

But it didn’t matter to me if those lights were sparkling on a majestic fi r in front of a three-story colonial or gleaming dimly behind a sheet of plastic taped to a cracked window in a wooden shanty. I loved them all.

To this day, though my neighbors in my 100-year-old Fountain City neigh-borhood favor elegant all-white light displays, I still put up colors for the little kids whose parents might be driving by. They’ll be

Among mine, I count the fact that I can claim as my hometown not one but two picturesque, charm-ing North Carolina towns. One of them – Waynes-ville – is now a real tour-ist destination, though it had little more than a drugstore and a fi ve-and-dime when I moved there as an adolescent in the late ’60s.

But my little-kid years were spent in the sweet hamlet of Shelby, where there’s still a courthouse in the town square. I took a friend there a few years ago. “It’s Mayberry,” she said.

Shelby has done well; it’s on the National Park Service’s National Regis-ter of Historic Places and has experienced a renais-sance, thanks to several downtown preservation groups.

It was a wonderful place for a child. And the best time of all was Christmas.

Downtown became a fairyland. The lights strung across the streets were the prettiest I’ve ever seen. I’ve tried to

in an SUV, not a station wagon, and they’ll prob-ably be glued to a CGI-saturated adventure on the overhanging DVD screen, or immersed in an adrenaline-pumping computer game.

But I hope they glance up, at least for a few sec-onds. I hope they get a glimmer of that sweeter, gentler kind of thrill.

You can view some Christmas lights yourself this weekend at the Con-cord Park Holiday Festi-val of Lights presented by the Knox County Parks and Recreation.

Every evening except Christmas, from 6-9 p.m., visitors can walk a .75-mile greenway trail to view the spectacular dis-play of several hundred thousand lights. The park staff at The Cove did all the decorating – includ-ing a series of lights co-ordinated to music – and they’ve even provided bonfi res for roasting marshmallows.

What a wonderful place to take your fam-ily and friends! Pets on leashes are welcome, too.

The event runs through Dec. 30. It’s free, but please bring a non-perishable food item for the Love Kitchen, which provides meals and other types of aid to those in need.

Santa won’t be disappointed with a plate of

Panera Bread cookies and some hot choco-

late. Photo by Mystery Diner

Santa will probably leave a little something extra in your stocking if you treat him to a Mitten Cookie from Panera Bread. Throw in a Candy Cookie and some hot chocolate, and you might just jump from the naughty to the nice list!

Mystery Diner

Panera is the bakery that grew. The company began in 1981 as Au Bon Pain Co., lo-cated primarily on the East Coast. The purchase of the St. Louis Bread Company in 1993 added 20 bakeries and a change in growth plans.

In May 1999, all Au Bon Pain Co. businesses were sold, and the company was renamed Panera Bread.

Panera is now a bak-ery/café with h o m e m a d e soups, salads and sandwich-es on the menu. Fresh bakery items range from bagels to muffi ns to cof-fee cakes and the specialty cookies. The Mitten Cookie is replaced each season with a “new” seasonal shaped cookie – Easter eggs, jack-o-lan-terns, spring fl owers.

The Mitten Cookie is a shortbread cookie with a

crunchy-sweet icing. Pane-ra’s hot chocolate – both

regular and gourmet – is the perfect accompaniment.

Money trumps tradition. How else can you explain changing the name of the historic Gator Bowl to TaxS-layer Bowl? The online tax prep people started paying the price in 2011. Naming rights were fi nalized this year.

There is a bonus. Because TaxSlayer has invested in NASCAR, because Dale Earnhardt Jr., once drove a TaxSlayer car at Bristol, he’ll be at the bowl to toss the coin. Don’t miss it.

If you are going to Jack-sonville, you might enjoy the $75 coaches’ luncheon on Dec. 31. Rivals will brag on each other. You can sign up for a 5k run or attend the UT pep rally or watch the parade of bands. The big tailgate party costs $50.

Nothing like that hap-pened when I was there.

Long-ago Gator Bowl stuff probably doesn’t mat-ter too much to current Vol-unteers. Even with Butch Jones conducting history class, there can’t be much interest in that great 3-0 Tennessee victory over Tex-as A&M in 1957 dampness and muck.

Bobby Gordon gained more yards (60) than Heis-man Trophy winner John David Crow (46) but Crow is in the Gator Bowl Hall of Fame on his name. Maybe Sammy Burklow should be. He kicked the winning fi eld goal, a 17-yarder, only one of his Tennessee career.

Coach Bowden Wyatt prepared Sammy for the winning moment.

“There’s nothing to it. It’s just like an extra point.”

You need to know that ex-Vol Burklow, from Haz-ard, Ky., became Dr. Sam Burklow, practicing internal medicine in Fresno, Calif.

More history? Bear Bry-ant was the Texas A&M coach, his last game with the Aggies.

Best yarn from that trip was the post-game kicking exhibition in the fashion-able Ponte Vedra Club suite of Robert R. Neyland, then athletic director at Tennes-see. The General had the game ball as a trophy. He and friends, after several glasses of lemonade, decid-

Money trumps Gator Bowl tradition

ed to recreate the moment of triumph.

A somewhat famous guest, Scrappy Moore, Chat-tanooga coach, delivered a mighty kick and broke a big mirror. His second try took out a bay window. Gus Man-ning retrieved the football from the beach.

Weeks later, the Univer-sity of Tennessee received a bill for room damages. Neyland was very unhappy. He wanted to know who the heck did what to tear up the place. Gus reminded him of the indoor fi eld-goal exhibi-tion.

The General said: “Well, there ain’t a damned thing wrong with that. Pay the people.”

Tennessee 18, Syracuse 12 in 1966 was a bit more conventional. Dewey War-ren threw for 244 yards with touchdowns to Rich-mond Flowers and Austin Denney. Floyd Little rushed for 216 yards and Larry Csonka gained 114. The play I remember best was Paul Naumoff tackling Csonka near the goal to preserve the victory.

Tennessee lost to Flori-da, 14-13, in 1969 in Doug Dickey’s last game as coach of the Volunteers. Don’t get me started on that.

Tennessee routed Vir-ginia Tech, 45-23, in 1994. James Stewart scored three touchdowns. Peyton Man-ning completed several passes.

Back when the Gator Bowl was the Gator Bowl, there were other landmarks. Ohio State coach Woody Hayes threw a forearm at a Clemson receiver and got fi red the next morning. Bobby Bowden coached his fi nal game for Florida State at the old arena.

That was before Ever-Bank Field and TaxSlayer. I suppose money makes things better.

NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

Fort Sanders Regional Medical Centerwishes you and your familya wonderful holiday season

and a happ y new year.

fsregional.com • (865) 673-FORT

Amy Taylor, pictured here on vacation with her son, Bryce, came to Fort Sanders Regional Medi-

cal Center earlier this year due to crippling hip, leg and back pain. Now, she’s back on her feet

thanks to Dr. Yau and the team at the Joint Center of Fort Sanders Regional.

Local entrepreneur receives ‘excellent care’ during two hip surgeriesAs an interior designer of professional of-

fi ce spaces, Amy Taylor of Knoxville knows how to make her clients comfortable at work.

But several years ago Taylor became very uncomfortable herself, whether sitting or standing. She had severe pain in her back and hips that made it diffi cult to bend and walk.

“I had a lot of lower back pain and leg pain. It progressed to hip pain, deep pain, in my back and lower legs. At night, I couldn’t sleep on my side. I’d wake up with a lot of hip pain,” she said.

“It got to the point where I came home and went straight to the recliner and put my legs up, because that was the most comfort-able position. I used to walk daily, but all of that stopped – going to the park or going outdoors. It defi nitely affected my level of exercise and activity.”

Taylor was diagnosed with femoroac-etabular impingement, or FAI, of the hip. It’s a condition in which the ball of the fe-mur (thigh) bone isn’t perfectly round and with activity patients can experience pinch-ing, tearing and premature wear. This can damage the cartilage of the both the ball and socket and, ultimately, lead to bone-on-bone arthritis.

“But not everyone needs a hip replace-ment,” said Dr. Paul Yau, an orthopedic surgeon at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center. “Caught early enough, tears can be repaired, the hip can be made round and balance can be restored to the joint. With modern techniques in hip arthroscopy, we can accomplish a lot of work through three tiny incisions.

“Hips are much like tires. If they’re not round, they’ll wear out sooner,” said Yau. “A lot of what I do is similar to being a me-chanic. If your tires are out of balance, you balance them to help them run smoother and last longer. If there is a hole or a tear, repair it. But if your treads are completely worn, it makes the most sense to replace the whole tire.”

Tips on how to avoid joint injuries

■ Avoid doing too much, too soon. Never increase the length of your workouts by more than 10 percent from one week to the next, and never increase both the length and intensity of your workout at the same time.

■ Maintain strength in the muscles surrounding the joint area. To strengthen the knees, do calf raises, lunges, squats and leg lifts.

■ Train smart by cross-training. Repetitive-motion injuries caused by doing just one sport or workout are some of the most common. You can prevent them by doing different sports or activities that work differ-ent muscles.

■ Never skip your warm-up or cool down. Tight or stiff muscles around a joint will make the area more prone to injury.

■ Always use proper technique and body mechanics when playing sports involving repetitive motion, such as tennis and golf. Taking lessons from a certifi ed coach or trainer every once in a while can help you learn and stick with proper form, which can reduce your injury risk substantially.

■ Keep in shape. A high cardiovas-cular fi tness level is crucial to avoid joint injuries. Otherwise, as you tire your form can fail and your joints carry unbalanced weight.

■ Be sure to wear proper shoes that provide adequate support during exercise.

A closer look at direct anterior hip replacementFort Sanders Regional Medical Center

is among only 15 percent of U.S. hospitals with the staff and facilities available to per-form the latest approach in hip replacement surgery, called direct anterior hip replace-ment.

In this procedure, the surgeon goes through the front (anterior) portion of the hip, instead of the side or back. This allows the surgery to sepa-rate important muscles and tendons instead of cutting through them to position a new hip joint implant.

“When I fi rst started do-ing hip replacement surgery this way, I thought it was

just another option to access the joint, but people have done amazingly well with this approach,” said Dr. Paul Yau, an orthopedic surgeon with Fort Sanders Regional Medi-cal Center.

“With traditional hip replacements, we have to cut muscles or tendons, which pro-longs the recovery process and may require limitations on hip motion,” said Yau. “It

is common to hear patients being told not to bend at the hip more than 90 degrees, squat, reach to the fl oor or cross your legs after hip replacement because it would risk a dislocation.

“With the anterior approach, none of these typical ligaments are cut, which means all of these common activities are safe, im-mediately after surgery,” Yau explained.

The anterior approach does require a specialized surgical table and intraoperative X-rays.

“The specialized table allows for safe leg placement not possible with a traditional surgical table,” said Yau. “This unique table improves access to the hip joint and permits the use of intraoperative X-rays to ensure accurate implant position.

“Traditionally, leg length discrepancies are a well-known complication after total hip replacement. The use of live, real-time imaging during surgery allows the surgeon to make both legs balanced and symmetric in length,” he said. “This means the implant will last longer. I no longer say you have to be a certain age to get a hip replacement.”

With the anterior approach, the patient

should expect usually one or two nights in the hospital.

“Some people even go home the same day,” said Yau. “People recover so much faster, it’s unbelievable.”

Yau said he began doing the anterior surgery routinely about a year ago and uses it today for about 95 percent of his hip re-placement and repair surgeries.

“It does require special facilities and a trained staff, which we have at Fort Sand-ers. There are a lot of moving parts to the surgery and they all need to be coordinated or you’ll have problems,” he said.

Studies have backed up Yau’s opinion of anterior hip replacement.

“You know how progress tends to hap-pen in increments?” he asked. “I want to say this is a giant leap instead of an incremen-tal one in orthopedic surgery. I haven’t seen anything this dramatically improve people’s outcome from surgery, ever.”

direct anterior hip replacement,

at www.fsregional.com/orthopaedics.

Taylor tried steroid injections to calm the pain, without success. So she went to see Dr. Yau.

Even though Taylor is only 42 years old, Yau suggested replacing both of her hips with artifi cial joints.

“Yes, it is quite unusual to be that young and need replacement surgery. I certainly spend a lot of time repairing and saving hip joints when possible. However, past a cer-tain point, replacement surgery has a much better chance of providing decades of pain relief. Recent data show the average age of hip replacement patients has dropped be-low age 50 and Amy’s not far from that,” said Yau.

Taylor had her hips replaced one at a time, one side in late August 2014 and the second two months later.

Both were done at Fort Sanders, with Taylor staying just one night in the hospi-tal each time. Taylor was able to go home so quickly because Yau used a minimally invasive technique called direct anterior hip replacement.

It requires only a 4-inch incision, and the muscles and tendons are spread apart to make room for the new hip joint instead of cutting them. This leads to a quicker re-covery.

Yau does a high volume of direct anterior hip replacements each year.

“This is a much easier way for patients to recover from hip replacement surgery,” said Yau. “I have some patients where I did one hip the old way and then we did the other one the new (anterior) way, and patient feedback reports the new way is about 70 to 80 percent easier.”

Taylor said in both surgeries, she felt dramatically better quickly. “In both cases by the third week I felt so much better and was off all my pain meds,” she said.

She is going through physical therapy to strengthen her muscles again after years of not exercising.

“I still have some back pain; I have a limp in my gait,” she said. “Dr. Yau recommend-ed I go to some physical therapy because my muscles are weak because I haven’t used them for two years. The pain in my hips is gone, and right now I just have muscle re-lated pain.”

Taylor said she would recommend Fort Sanders to anyone facing hip surgery.

“Dr. Yau is so personable,” said Taylor. “He talks to you, listens to you. He talked to my husband. He called me after the surgery and stayed in touch.

“Dr. Yau and Fort Sanders did a great job. The care at Fort Sanders was outstanding,” said Taylor. “They were very attentive to any needs I had, all very knowledgeable, with excellent care. I’ve already recommended them to about three of my friends.”

By Cindy Taylor Jim and Nancy Davis are really into

Christmas. Really!The couple purchased their Powell home

almost 20 years ago, and each Christmas a few more lawn decorations appear. From Santa to angels to the Nativity to elves to snowmen, the list is long. But these aren’t just any Christmas decorations.

Jim personally designed, cut from wood panels and hand-painted almost every dec-oration in the yard. Yet he doesn’t consider himself an artist.

“This is just what he loves to do,” said Nancy. “He doesn’t play golf, so this is his golf game. He had a stroke last August and we weren’t even sure we could continue this. But he got it done.”

As elaborate as the outside is, the inside is like walking into a Christmas dream. Ev-ery square foot of space from fl oor to ceiling

is covered with Christmas.Santa and the Mrs.

greet you in the foy-er. Another jolly old elf dances and sings a Ch r i s t ma s g r e e t i n g . Collectible Christmas bears line the stair-case, and C h r i s t m a s art decorates the walls.

One of the Christmas paintings in an upstairs bedroom be-longed to Nancy’s stepmother and holds special memories. A Christ-

mas village spreads cheer in the loft, and carolers in

the front window sing glad tid-

ings. Even the b a t h r o o m s

a b o u n d w i t h Christmas d é c o r . But the c r o w n i n g

piece is the 12-foot tree

that holds court in the

great room – and it is not pre-lit.

The outdoor deco-rating process takes a few days, while

indoors the decorating is done a little more quickly. Nancy says it goes a bit easier now that she is retired, even though they man-aged to do just as much when they were both working.

“We’re both kids when it comes to Christ-mas,” she said. “We started small with dec-orating, but it just keeps growing.

Folks come from all over to view the dé-cor. If your Christmas needs more cheer, take the drive down West Beaver Creek Drive to Autumn View Lane and enjoy the lights at the Davis home. It is beautiful both day and night. If you’ve been extra good this year, you might be rewarded with a glimpse of Santa himself.

When asked how much longer they would continue the tradition, Nancy was quick to respond.

“For as long as we feel it in our hearts.”Let’s hope that’s a very long time.
