Miracle Maker

Nancy 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 fulfilled by the rewards, the Friedrichs decided to go back to school.

Hot and ‘chili’ at National Night Out

By Cindy Taylor The temperature was in the 70s when the call went out for the 10th annual Cumberland Estates Chili Fest.

By the time doors opened for the free festival Oct. 3 the daily high was in the 80s and fall seemed a long way off. That didn’t matter to residents and former residents of the West Haven community who served chili, soup, bread and dessert for a dinner in celebration of National Night Out. The Cumberland Estates Recreation Center was packed with food, entertainment and people. Folks listened and danced to tunes from Katie Helms on the bagpipes, the Sweet Adelines, Linda Sicard and the Maple Hill Bluegrass Band.

“This is a way to see old friends, make new ones, support community volunteers and strengthen our neighborhood,” said co-organizer Connie Hughes.

KCS Insight Sessions: 2 hours well spent

By Sandra Clark Knox County Schools is conducting a series of public meetings to gather opinions about: What’s right? What’s not? What’s next?

The first 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 support for site-based school management, better teacher pay and a new concept: “advancement based on mastery.” This is a logical extension of individualized learning, made possible with technology.

Parents from Gibbs participated 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 attendance at both meetings, perhaps skewing the results. Leadership Knoxville facilitated each group discussion.

Physical Therapy The ins and outs to make it work for you October is not only a countdown to the ghosts and goblins of Halloween, but it’s also National Physical Therapy Month, which is an effort to help people understand the beneďŹ ts of treatment from a physical therapist.

At Fort Sanders Therapy Centers, 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, according to physical therapist Jennifer Templeton.

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

What is physical therapy?

Physical therapy focuses on rehabilitating a patient’s impairments or disabilities by promoting increased mobility, strength and function in order to improve quality of life. Physical therapy is performed by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) and Physical Physical therapist Jennifer Templeton addresses lower back pain on patient Therapist Assistants (PTAs).

Tim French at Fort Sanders Therapy Center-Downtown.

Who are physical therapists and physical therapy assistants?

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

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

Heat improves blood 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 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.

restore normal function, prevent recurrence and minimize dependence on medical intervention.

As with most things, a successful solution depends on properly identifying the problem. Pain is a symptom, not a diagnosis. The certiďŹ ed McKenzie therapist utilizes a comprehensive process to ďŹ nd the underlying cause. In fact, research 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 determines where the pain’s coming from and what to do about itâ€? said a patient of certiďŹ ed McKenzie physical therapist Mary SatterďŹ eld, with Fort Sanders Regional Therapy Center in Powell.

CertiďŹ ed McKenzie therapists are available at four Covenant 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.

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 physical therapist for more targeted treatment.

Shutdown doesn’t stop HonorAir A salute to ‘Uncle Sam’ WASHINGTON, D.C. – Uncle Sam received a starrspangled salute at the World d War II Veterans Memorial al last week.

Jake Mabe MY TWO CENTS 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 capital to see their monuments.

HonorAir Knoxville founder Eddie Mannis and Mr. Hardman’s step grandchildren 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 shutdown wasn’t going to stop these 127 warriors. HonorAir staff and a tour guide removed (and later replaced) barricades near the Korean War Veterans Monument and at the Marine Corps War Memorial. Police never appeared.

Korean War era Air Force veteran Bennett Tipton, touring his war’s monument with fellow vet and Halls guy Bob Temple, fought back tears.

“What gets to ya about all these pictures (of Marines and soldiers engraved in the memorial) is that I remember 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 Tumblin 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, business owner and Korean War era veteran Bob Johnson was seeing the Korea memorial for the first time.

“I’m just a little disappointed,” Johnson said. “I had a childhood friend who was killed and I was hoping to see his name.”

World War II veteran and former Knox County Superintendent Earl Hoffmeister and Bob Johnson are longtime friends and former neighbors in Emory Estates.

They spent time together on the trip.

Hoffmeister trained mules for mountain artillery.

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

to hear many points of view while reserving his opinions to himself.

It is hard to tell if Sansom wants to continue on the TVA board where he has served twice. As a Republican, he would not be a first choice for President Obama, but his strong ties to Sen. Lamar Alexander whom he served as Commissioner of Finance and Commissioner of Transportation may influence 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 fiscal 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 allowance, 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 fill. 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 recorder 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 significant contributions. Mitchell is one of the most senior city recorders among all American cities.

■ The federal shutdown has slowed the eventual vote on Pam Reeves being confirmed as the next federal judge for East Tennessee as much of the Senate 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.

Victor Ashe

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 President Obama re-nominates him and the U.S. Senate confirms him.

His departure would reduce the board membership 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 current 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 matter, will need to sign off on this if McBride expects to win confirmation 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

Bobby Waggoner: Will he run for Sheriff?

A few days after the UT Vols’ heartbreaking overtime loss to Georgia, someone compared Bobby Waggoner’s deliberation over whether to make a run for Knox County Sheriff in 2014 to Tennessee wide receiver Alton “Pig” Howard’s ohso-close fumble in the final seconds of that game:

Anne Hart

“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 office the first of September. He has been visiting with local business and civic leaders since then, and is straightforward about the fact he’s considering running for the top cop job.

“What I’m really doing at this point is listening,” Waggoner says. “I want to know what people in the community think about how the Sheriff’s Office 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 anyone more qualified for the position. A certified police officer for decades, with more than 1200 hours of

Hammond may take on McCroskey 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 office in Knoxville or Knox County, but getting elected and staying 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 judges are women.

The remaining three county officeholders who are women, Register of Deeds Sherry Witt, General Sessions Court Clerk Cathy Quist and Criminal Court Clerk Joy McCroskey, all face re-election next spring.

So far, only McCroskey seems likely to face opposition.

For some 40 years, the court clerks have been women. That record could be challenged this year, as 10-year County Commission veteran Mike Hammond moves ever closer to announcing that he will be opposing McCroskey, who was appointed in 2008 after the death of longtime Criminal Court Clerk Martha Phillips, a revered figure 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 first of November.

He also said the prospect of going after one of the few female officeholders in the courthouse won’t be a consideration.

“I’m looking at the office itself, the issues and the way it’s run. I’d simply be offering my expertise,” he said.

McCroskey has worked in the clerk’s office for 45 years, minus a year when she went to work for TVA looking for better pay. She returned in 1974, and figures 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 November 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 fight for the job.

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

Enjoy Spurrier while you can Tennessee, in search of the elusive signature victory, 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 terrible tigers yet to come.

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 coaches sometimes get so full of themselves, directing a team and holding fans in the palm of their hands just isn’t enough. They become minidictators.

Let’s use the very successful Spurrier as an example.

lisher, Henry Haitz III, to never again write or talk publicly about the Gamecocks.

Go annoy Clemson.

It was a journalistic restraining 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. Spurrier smirked again and went back to throwing visors.

Every other year I think this might be Steven Orr Spurrier’s last visit to Tennessee. 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 brilliantly in high school, won the Heisman Trophy at Florida and twice absconded with significant NFL loot, a stunning amount for disappointing careers as a backup San Francisco quarterback 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 willy-nilly. His team presented something called fun ’n gun

Burnside’s journey to Knoxville This is the third part of a monthly series on the Civil War and the Knoxville Campaign in a salute to the Civil War Sesquicentennial.

Jim Tumblin

Ambrose Everett Burnside reported on June 1, 1843, to begin the rigor and strict discipline at the United 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

was assigned to tedious administrative duties. With the war officially 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 first assigned there. After a 60day leave, they moved into their first home, a brickedup 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 carbine he had designed. He was forced into bankruptcy when the hoped-for government contracts did not materialize.

When the Civil War began in 1861, Burnside accepted

appointment as colonel of the 1st Rhode Island Volunteers. His was one of the first 90-day regiments to reach Washington when the capital was threatened. In July of 1861 at First Manassas he commanded a brigade that was involved at Henry House Hill. In spite of Burnside’s efforts to rally them,

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

Soon thereafter Burnside organized and carried out a difficult amphibious operation on the North Carolina coast. A flotilla of 80 ships carrying 20,000 men departed 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

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 Carolina into a championship contender, lifting it higher than it has previously been.

I suppose he enjoys the distinction, power and perks.

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

He is not flawless. 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 under the proverbial bus. He was so bad on a recent TV

storms and arrived at Hatteras 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 demoralizing months, this was the North’s first significant 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 Antietam, when speed was critical 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-

show, some friends and foes thought he was impaired.

That is code for hung over.

Producers cancelled reruns 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 laughing inside because his job is not as tough as we all pretend. Do you think he is a workaholic? Do you believe he keeps going over game film until he falls asleep on the office couch?

Down deep, I like the guy.

He is entertaining. He can bring tears with a hokey pregame pep talk. He is capable of extended pleas with officials when he knows he is wrong.

See him at the big stadium. He is worth at least half the cost of admission. An upset knockout by the Vols would be worth much more.

run the enemy.

Antietam was the bloodiest single day of the war.

Casualties exceeded 24,000 (11,500 Confederates and 12,800 Federals). Robert E. Lee lost 28 percent of his army, McClellan lost 24 percent. The battle was deemed a political victory in the North and provided Lincoln the opportunity to issue the Emancipation Proclamation.

Burnside was an able subordinate who doubted his own ability as a commander. He declined Lincoln’s offer to be Commander of the Army of the Potomac twice, when Lincoln decided McClellan proceeded too slowly. Eventually, he reluctantly accepted the position on Nov. 7, 1862. Burnside’s Army of the Potomac numbered 130,000 men and was encamped on Stafford Heights overlooking the city of Fredericksburg, Va. from To page A-6

Burnside’s journey the east bank of the Rappahannock River. The pontoons 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 Longstreet 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 attacks on Longstreet’s corps on Marye’s Heights during that long day, the Federals were beaten back with heavy losses. Darkness ended the slaughter. Burnside 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 commander. 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 Stafford Heights opposite Fredericksburg. 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 Vicksburg. The 8,000 men of Burnside’s 9th Corps had been detached to join Grant there. Gen. Pemberton surrendered 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.

One diarist wrote of this march: “If this is the kind of country we are fighting 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 opposition. Senator Harris of New York received this message from his son, “Glory be to God, the Yankees have come! The flag’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 before. The old flag has been hidden in mattresses and under carpets. It now floats 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.

NEWS FROM WELLSPRING SENIOR LIVING

Wellspring To Hold Open House October 17 Showcases unique memory care therapy Prospective residents and their families, caregivers, and the community 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 churning, and making apple butter. Entertainment will be provided by musician Jim Clark. In addition, Activities Director 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 impacted by Alzheimer’s disease or other memory-impairing conditions is Wellspring’s state-of-the-art approach designed to stimulate residents’ memories and senses through practical life activities. “We focus on caring for the individual, with programs that can be tailored specifically 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 provider in Knoxville to offer the SimpleC Companion. This new technology for dementia care promotes memory, engagement, and better communication for seniors. SimpleC’s academic partners’ research shows that SimpleC users benefit 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-pharmaceutical, computer-based therapy has been proven to enhance nutrition, increase participation in activities, and improve sleep quality among senior adults.

Wellspring’s all-inclusive monthly rate structure, which provides an affordable option that cuts out the instability 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. Amenities offered to all Wellspring residents include dedicated and trained caregivers 24 hours a day, licensed nursing staff, emergency response system, medication management services, a wellness program, pharmacy services, beautician and barber services, housekeeping/linen/laundry services, and a full time maintenance and safety staff.

Open since August 2013, Wellspring’s Powell location was the second newly constructed location of four planned for East Tennessee. Wellspring Senior Living at Raintree in West Knoxville opened in December 2012. In late May 2013, Wellspring Senior 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 Wellspring Senior Living, visit www.wellspringseniorliving.com or call (865) 362-5398.

Appointed with lush architectural details throughout, Wellspring offers a variety of floor 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.

Pictured here, Chef George Towne, Dietary Director, grills out for dinner.

“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 flesh.�

(John 6: 48-51 NRSV) 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 find 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 flour.

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

Macel spoke up unhesitatingly with her answer: “White Lily flour!�

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 float off the plate if you are not careful.

I thought of all this again this morning as I made biscuits 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 meaning.

A biscuit means a Southern breakfast. A croissant means an elegant brunch. A hot dog bun means a cookout or a football game. A skillet of cornbread dripping

Lynn Pitts CROSS CURRENTS 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, invites 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, imbued them with eternal significance: “Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood have eternal life, and I will raise them up on the last day; for my flesh is true food and my blood is true drink. Those who eat my flesh 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.�

Shopper-News Presents Miracle Makers

Teacher ‘WOWs’ her students B B By Betsy etsy t Pickl Pickle kle

Nancy 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 fulfilled by the rewards, the Friedrichs decided to go back to school.

“We both went back and got postbaccalaureate 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 fifth grade at Sarah Moore Greene. Her husband, Jim, teaches business classes at Hardin Valley Academy.

“After all these years, we finally 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 first 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

Nancy Friedrich

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 finished 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 nonprofit 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

Knox County Council PTA

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-monthold grandchild.

Meanwhile, she’s enjoying her journey at Dogwood. Being an educator fits with her mission mindset.

“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.”

Dobbs signs with Truett-McConnell

By Cindy Taylor Powell High School senior Josie Dobbs signed to play soccer for TruettMc C onnel l College (TMC) Oct. 9. She att e n d e d tryouts at TMC a few weeks ago, Josie Dobbs where her talents were instantly recognized by TMC coach David McDowell.

“Usually I can tell if someone is good or not after about five minutes in tryouts,” said McDowell.

“I didn’t really need to see Josie play.”

Dobbs is the daughter of David and Patti Dobbs.

Brothers Joshua, Jansen and grandparents Carolyn and John D. Dobbs and Raymond Wood also attended the signing.

“My sister is whatever the opposite of bashful is,” said Joshua.

“She is an aggressive and tough young lady and a good Christian,” said Wood.

Josie has played soccer since the age of 4 but chose TMC for other reasons as well. She has traveled around the world on mission trips and knows exactly what she wants to do with her life.

“I knew as soon as I stepped on campus that TMC is where I belong,” said Josie.

Dobbs plans to major in nursing and minor in Global Missions. She will make the move from Panther to Bear in 2014.

Insurance option is ‘good business’

By Betty Bean For the first time in 25 years, Quality Label & Tag CEO Jim Jennings was offered a rate reduction in his company’s health insurance premiums.

Quality Label, located a block off Clinton Highway, makes pressure-sensitive labels for a wide variety of locally produced products.

When meat packers Selecto, Valleydale and Lay’s were in business, Jennings worked as many as 30 employees on two shifts. Times are tougher now, but he still takes pride in providing good benefits, so he took the insurance offer – for now – to reduce the tab for covering his 17 employees and their dependents.

For many years Jennings paid 100 percent of premiums. Recently, he has required his employees to chip in 10 percent so they would have “skin in the game.”

Now, he has a new decision.

“I can sit right here and do nothing and we can keep what we got,” he said.

“When we first started, I could insure a family of four for $365 a month. Now, it’s $1,600, (about $9 an hour).”

Jennings can negoti-

ate this year because of the Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare).

“I went to people in the insurance business and heard what they had to say, the pros and the cons, and took the information to my accountant,” he said, holding up a multi-page application form for the Small Business Health Care Tax Credit, in effect since 2010.

It is available to businesses that employ fewer than 25 people whose average annual salaries are less ment is more than the total credit can claim a business expense deduction.

Jennings calls the new insurance option “a good business decision,” and said the savings will enable him to offer workers a raise.

“It’s been hard times, and I don’t even have anybody come in here and ask for a raise. They just know.

People feel lucky just to have a job. And with this 50 percent tax credit, we can get some money away from insurance companies to elevate the salaries of working people.”

Jennings, 71, and his two siblings, were raised in North Knoxville and Western Heights by a single

Jewish sacred music a first for KSO

By Wendy Smith The Knoxville Symphony Orchestra will perform Ernest Bloch’s Avodath Hakodesh, or Sacred Service, as part of its Moxley Carmichael Masterworks Series next year, and Maestro Lucas Richman hopes to educate potential audience members before the February performances.

He spoke about the composer and his music last week at the Arnstein Jewish Community Center.

This will be the first time the music has ever been performed in Knoxville, and perhaps in East Tennessee, he said.

While the KSO performs sacred Christian music once a year, it will be the first time the symphony

has performed sacred Jewish music in its 78-year history. It’s an opportunity for education and dialogue in the community, said Richman.

Bloch was born in Geneva, Switzerland, in 1880.

He was the youngest of three children, and his father didn’t appreciate his musical ability.

That’s remarkable, Richman said, given that Bloch is considered the greatest composer of Jewish music in the 20th century.

He spent four years writing Avodath Hakodesh, which explores what it means to be Jewish.

The piece is written for chorus, orchestra and a cantor, and it was created for the concert hall as well

mother who worked hard to barely get by. He dropped out of high school to join the U.S. Army in 1962, and joined the 82nd Airborne Division, making extra money as a paratrooper. He earned his GED while on active duty. He has strong convictions and has been known to take chances on new hires with troubled backgrounds.

While he believes that taking the tax credit is smart, he also believes it’s the right thing to do.

“I think health care is a right. Others think it’s a privilege. … I’ve got two

principles I live by: You’re living – let others. And if it doesn’t make sense, get away from it. Do what’s right.”

Harry Tindell, a former state legislator who earned bipartisan respect in Nashville for his financial and budgetary expertise, is the insurance broker Jennings consulted. Tindell said the composition of Jennings’ workforce – all male with a mix of older and younger workers – makes it wellsuited to benefit from the Small Business Health Care Tax Credit.

“There are winners and losers in this, as with everything,” Tindell said. “A lot of it depends on how healthy your employees are. … Rates are going up for young people, down for older people.”

But at the same time, come January, there’ll be lower deductibles and capped out-of-pocket costs, Tindell said.

“What we’re doing is giving individuals better coverage as a class – postponed for a year for bigger businesses. And if you’re sick and have a modest or average income, you’re going to benefit.”

A strong September

By Sherry Witt After a huge month of commercial property transfers in August, the residential market got going in September. For the month endSherry Witt ing Sept.

30, there were 870 property transfers in Knox County, some 210 more than those recorded during September 2012.

The aggregate value of properties sold fell short of last September’s total by about $48 million, further validating that this September surge was fueled largely by residential sales. For the month, around $185 million was transferred in Knox County, compared to $232 million last September. The August commercial boom had produced more than $250 million in sales.

Mortgage lending markets experienced a slowdown as $269 million was loaned against real estate, a decrease of $134 million from August’s totals. Last September about $308 million went out in mortgages and refinances.

The most notable transfer of the month was a deed for property on Beaver Creek Drive, which sold to Evergreen at the Bluffs LLC for $16.8 million.

The largest mortgage transaction was a Trust Deed financing the same sale for just over $14 million.

As the third quarter of 2013 comes to a close, it continues to be a comparatively good year for the real estate market.

Every month of 2013 thus far has outperformed its 2012 counterpart in terms of property transfers. It has been the strongest year for property sales since the housing collapse of 2008.

Blessed pets A recent beautiful Sunday afternoon was the setting for the Blessing of the Animals at St. James Episcopal Church on North Broadway.

A crowd of about 40 came with their pets to enjoy the stunning weather and participate in the ceremony.

“It’s always wonderful to see the controlled chaos,” said parish administrator and long-time church member Marilyn Canady, remarking upon “the blessing 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 reflect a growing concern for the welfare of other species.

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

“May God bless you and

Carol’s Corner 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!”

Eight-year-old Sarah Walton and Autumn Dunning, who is 5, nuzzle their new best friend, Icelandic horse Fluga. Both girls later enjoyed solo rides.

Five-year-old Autumn Dunning, daughter of Catherine Dunning and Danny Pili of North Knoxville, takes a ride on Fluga while handler Dan Bentrup holds the reins.
