Sunshine’s downside There are folks in this town who act like the sunshine law is the Magna Carta. It isn’t. Ultimately, the sunshine law doesn’t make local government more open. Instead, the law merely shifts power away from the legislative branch and puts the power in the county mayor’s office.

Still cookin’ Rosa Nussbaumer has had her share of disasters from cakes falling out of cars to food left behind, but she and her staff always pulled things together; usually without her clients knowing anything had gone wrong. From catering for 15 to 5,000 people the Nussbaumers successfully turned a love of cooking into a thriving business. She is quick to say it was all God.

The Gibbs community has advocated for a middle school for so long that a second generation is now being bused to Holston Middle. “Twenty-four years is too long to wait,” said Knox County Commissioner Ed Brantley. He and fellow at-large commissioner, Bob Thomas, hosted an “Ed and Bob” neighborhood meeting last week at Henry’s Deli on Tazewell Pike. Brantley said he was disappointed at the 5 p.m. turnout. “They’re all picking up their kids

at Holston,” quipped Steve Hunley. The former school board member has made it his life’s work to get a middle school at Gibbs. Pam Clevenger said she’s homeschooling her granddaughter after sending her daughter to Holston Middle in the 1990s. She was blunt: “That (zoning) was done for desegregation and that law has changed. … I just didn’t want my kids to go to an inner-city school.” Chris Caldwell, the county’s finance director, was invited as a resource. “Mayor (Tim) Burchett would like to build all three schools

(requested by the school board), but we cannot afford them.” He said the county can’t borrow the funds without a tax increase. “And even if we could fi nd a way to build them, when they come online, in 2019 or so, we could not afford to operate them without a tax increase.” Hardin Valley, in deep West Knox County, is also clamoring for a middle school. Like Gibbs, Hardin Valley has a high school and an elementary school but disperses children to other areas for middle school.

Patti Bounds (school board District 7) said the system has already cut its budget. “We won’t even be waxing floors this summer. We’ve made cuts already but we’re still $6.5 million short.” Jack Huddleston raised questions about a proposed four percent raise for teachers. “Why doesn’t the state fund that?” Caldwell said the state will provide about $4.4 million toward the $10 million required to raise all teachers. That’s because Knox County Schools has substantially more positions than required by state regulations. Mike McMillan concurred: “They send (money for) 4 percent based on the number of teachers the state thinks we should have.” Bob Barker asked, “How long can we kick this can down the road? Then he answered his own question: “They come up with the money to build what they want to … and ignore us out here.” Gregg Lonas offered a solution: “Pull the kids back who are now being home-schooled and defund Vine Middle School. Use those principals and teachers to operate a Gibbs Middle School.” Brantley is a new commissioner, but he’s showing an aptitude for can-kicking: “I will vote for a middle school in Gibbs,” he said. “But I will not vote for a tax increase.”

Beware of seasonal scams, says KPD By Wendy Smith Last month, West Hills Community Association president Ashley Williams was alerted to the regular presence of a man selling security systems door-todoor. The man was taking pictures of houses and asking residents who already had security systems which doors and windows were monitored. He would then ask to put a sign in the yard. At least one neighbor had a break-in a few days after speaking with the man. Williams approached the salesperson on the street and asked to see his license. He presented an application rather than an actual license. Williams then contacted the company, and was passed to an attorney. After Williams spoke to law enforcement, the attorney said the company would no longer work in the neighborhood. But Williams

has visited the company’s West Knox office, and salespeople, primarily driving cars with Utah license plates, are still working in the area, he says. He hopes other neighborhoods can benefit from what his neighbors have learned. “A legal solicitor’s permit should be notarized and should have a permit number on it. If they don’t have it, say you’re not interested and call the police dispatch number. You have the right to say ‘Get off my property.’ Don’t feel obligated to listen to a pitch.” Darrell DeBusk, public information officer for the Knoxville Police Department, says late spring and early summer are prime time for a variety of doorto-door scams. That’s when scammers who spend the winter in the south head north. Many are selling services like driveway paving, painting and

roofing, and they appeal to homeowners hoping to save money. But DeBusk warns against using service providers who shows up on your doorstep. Instead, homeowners should contact local providers who are licensed and bonded and have a good rating with the Better Business Bureau. A request for payment up front should be a red flag, he says. A common scam is linoleum sales. Accomplices enter the home while homeowners are looking at samples. Those selling magazine subscriptions may be legitimate, but salespeople often have criminal records, he says. Neighborhoods, as a whole, cannot prohibit solicitors if they have public roads. But individual property owners can prohibit solicitors on their property with a clearly visible sign, says Ron Mills of the city law department. Gated neighborhoods or those with pri-

vate roads can prohibit solicitors. Knox County requires a license to sell goods and services door-todoor. Knox County Commissioner John Schoonmaker says his neighbors in Tan Rara subdivision typically ask to see a solicitor’s license. If none is presented, they give the solicitor five minutes to leave the neighborhood before calling the sheriff’s office’s non-emergency number. “I have seen solicitors being escorted out of our neighborhood in the back seat of the sheriff’s cruiser. The word gets around to other solicitors that our neighborhood doesn’t like solicitors,” he says. In April, county commission approved an ordinance that gives the Knox County Clerk the authority to withhold a solicitor license from someone who has an outstanding warrant or has been convicted of a crime of moral turpitude in the last 10 years.

No meeting of the minds at budget talks By Betty Bean The only clear consensus reached at the joint school board/ county commission meeting last week came when district members of each body promised to get together with their counterparts and talk about school needs before the county budget comes up for a vote next month. This meeting of the minds came at the conclusion of a dinner and discussion get-together at the East Tennessee History Center. The board members, commissioners and Dr. James McIntyre were seated around a horseshoe-

shaped table in the middle of the room to facilitate conversation. The most powerful player in the budget discussions, county Mayor Tim Burchett, who has veto power over any commission vote (it would take eight votes to override him) was seated in the audience and was not asked for his opinion, perhaps because his views on the subject are well known. He’s not going to go for anything that requires raising taxes. Things went the way they usually do this time of the year, with most (but not all) school board members pleading for increased funding and

most (but not all) commissioners advising them to shut up and live within their means. There was majority agreement on an issue Knox County Schools has been pushing this year – the balanced calendar commonly (but not quite accurately) called yearround school: It’s too expensive to talk about at a time when the county is struggling to find a way to pay for long-overdue teachers’ raises and communities are clamoring for new school buildings. Commission chair Brad Anders repeated his warning that the county has been living off the pro-

ceeds of a 1999 property tax increase and has no more fat to cut. School board member Terry Hill, who represents the Hardin Valley area, which is hoping for a new middle school, implored members of County Commission to think about doing something to raise money to build new schools. “More people than you might think would be willing to pay their fair share,” she said. Commissioner Ed Brantley said his hands are tied because of his no-new-taxes campaign promise, To page A-3

Rosa Nussbaumer: For the love of people Rosa Messina Nussbaumer had friends over for dinner parties when she was middle school age. In college she would host and cook for friends and fellow church members. After marrying Bill Nussbaumer the tradition continued with neighbors.

Cindy Taylor

Arriving at her home to interview Nussbaumer, I found her preparing a new recipe in her research and development kitchen. “We are having open face tacos,” she said. “I’m just playing around to see what I can come up with.” That comment reflects her life in cooking. As a daughter of native Sicilians, cooking and entertaining are not only her heritage but are almost as necessary to her as breathing. “Starting a business was never what it was about. It wasn’t even about food,” she said. “It was about entertaining and being together.” Nussbaumer would cook everything ahead of time and became known to her friends as the “Freezer Queen.” Rather than the common fare she would come up with unusual dishes. Of course desserts have always been a must. Nussbaumer earned a degree in nutrition but began her working career teaching dressmaking for Knox County Adult Education. She still laughs when she talks about that. “I had only made four garments in my life.” Once it was discovered she could cook she was drafted into teaching a cooking class. Soon friends began asking her to cater events. It wasn’t long until

night when he said he went 43 years on his job without a raise and chided the schools for not returning good results for the county’s investment. McIntyre challenged him to compare and contrast recent student outcomes and graduation rates with those of the past. Board member Karen Carson said the county needs to give teachers a minimum of a four percent raise. “It’s a slap in the face to say every other (county) employee gets a 3 percent and tell the schools to find the money for teachers to get one.”

Tennessee has a little cup problem Dave Hart has said all along that repairing football was his first order of business. Raising millions for salary increases and more and better facilities is obviously the second priority of the athletic director. Two is linked to one. Pumping basketball back up is probably next in line. Rick Barnes brings hope. There is one highlight and half of another. The new TV studio is superb. Dorm construction is on schedule. Money works wonders. The boss appears to be above the fray over what to call Tennessee women athletes but others are in a tizzy. Should he choose to engage, this could be timeconsuming – and maybe bruising.

Marvin West

As busy as he otherwise is, Hart must have noticed the baseball surge. After a miserable season, those Vols gave us a miracle finish, three wins in a row based on finding a foe worse that they were, to qualify for the SEC tournament. Hart’s list of possible interests may include NACDA Directors’ Cup standings, the comparison of performances in all recognized college sports. The bottom line shows how a school is

doing in all-around competition. Last time we looked, Tennessee wasn’t doing very well. Ironic that this evaluation is sponsored by the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics. Hart is part owner. Butch Jones’ football team didn’t shake the ground with the 7-6 record but it earned 45 cup points with the bowl victory. Iowa got 25 for losing. Tennessee’s other fall teams fell somewhere near flat. The Vols didn’t qualify for the NCAA cross-country run. Women’s soccer went 10-10 and didn’t get to play in the NCAA tournament. Volleyball was a not very pretty 8-24. UT does not participate

in men’s soccer, men’s water polo and women’s field hockey, three reasons it cannot keep up with Stanford, UCLA and others who do. Many who care about a well-rounded athletic program believe Tennessee is still in decline. It finished 40th last year, 10th in the SEC, worst in the 20-year history of the cup. I see a glimpse of optimism. Women’s basketball did well, considering injuries, and should grow stronger. Softball exceeded expectations in what was supposed to be a retooling campaign. Tennessee men and women finished fourth in SEC swimming and diving. Mauricio Robles won two of three diving titles.

Pole-vaulter Jake Blankenship cleared 18 feet, 3 inches to win his event at the SEC outdoor track meet. That was only three inches down from his best vault of last season. Here’s a window into the plight of Tennessee track: Drew Kelley ran the best 1500 of his life in the prelims and failed to advance. Brielyn Rogers came through with her best-ever triple jump and placed 12th. Twelfth (next to last in this case) is where the Vols finished in track team standings. They scored 28.5 points. Florida won with 130.5. Vanderbilt didn’t play. UT women scored 15 points, just enough to place last. Arkansas won with 127.5. Measuring stick: Tennessee, once a national power in track and field, finished more than a hun-

dred points behind the SEC winners. Interesting that Beth Alford-Sullivan accepted the challenge of fi xing the problem – without an indoor facility. Tennis, anyone? Seniors Mikelis Libietis and Hunter Reese are nationally ranked in doubles but the tennis team had a 14-13 record. The women were 11-15 overall and 3-11 against SEC foes. Top golfer Chad Merzbacher tied for 40th in the San Diego regional. The women’s team placed third in their regional, eight strokes off the pace. Tennessee did not make the nationals in rowing but nobody drowned. Tennessee did better in academics than athletics. Alas, classroom scores are not a factor in Directors’ Cup standings. Marvin West invites reader comments. His address is westwest6@netzero.com

Retiring city staffers share memories Not long after beginning her job with Knoxville City Council, secretary Susan Wilson began wrapping rubber bands around a paperweight. Almost 33 years later, the rubber-band ball is the size, and weight, of a medicine ball. It’d be bigger if she didn’t occasionally reuse the rubber bands. She plans to bequeath the ball to another city employee when she retires later this year, along with her long-time officemates. City recorder Cindy Mitchell has held her post for 35 years and auditor Melissa Peters was hired 27 years ago. They’re all looking forward to the next stage of life, but will miss the rapport they’ve built with each other − and some of their bosses. Their bosses are the nine city council members, so they’ve had a lot of bosses.

One of the keys to a long career in the city council office is staying apolitical, Cindy says. Susan said she had to learn to keep her opinions to herself, even when she was asked. They have stories to tell − more than they would ever tell a reporter. But they laugh as they recall funny moments during council meetings. Cindy recalls council member Ed Bailey, a former major league ball player, getting heckled during a meeting. His response: “Yeah, yeah, yeah. You, too. I’ve been booed by thousands.” Melissa remembers city attorney Harold Mills saying, “Stick it in your ear,” when he was heckled. Cell phones added a new dimension to meetings. Texting allowed Cindy and Susan to make comments to

Wendy Smith

each other, and when council members realized that one member never turned off his ringer, they enjoyed calling him during meetings. Council members continue to make casual bets on when meetings will end. Cindy has accused some of stretching out meetings to make it to their estimated time. Some meetings had dark moments. Cindy recalls sitting between two council members who began to threaten each other. They made plans to take the dis-

agreement out to the parking lot. Susan doesn’t attend meetings unless she’s filling in for Cindy, but she remembers a tense meeting in East Knoxville following a series of shootings. This was during Victor Ashe’s administration when meetings were held in each district. There was unrest, but nothing happened, she says. They’ve each taken their share of interesting phone calls. Cindy’s favorite was the man who called to ask if his wife had filed for divorce. Many call to ask if they are scheduled to appear in court, and Susan often tries to help them. Melissa says she’s not as polite as her officemates. When she couldn’t help a man who called to ask if there was a lien on his boat, he got angry, she says. Times have changed

Knoxville City Council staff members Melissa Peters, Cindy Mitchell and Susan Wilson will soon retire after almost a century of combined service. Photo by Wendy Smith since they began their careers. In those days, female staffers were required to wear skirts, hose and heels, Cindy says. Women are generally more respected now. Susan remembers a man coming into the office several years ago, asking to see the city recorder. When Cindy came out, he said, no, he didn’t

want to speak to the “peons.” They’ve come a long way, and will undoubtedly be hard to replace. “We’ve been blessed to be able to work together, and we’ll miss each other,” Cindy says. “We’ve had great leadership over the years. It’s something Knoxville should be proud of.”

‘Make a difference’ for people with disabilities

“I challenge you to go out and make a difference” on employment issues for people with disabilities, state Sen. Becky Duncan Massey told a crowded Market Square audience for the public celebration of the 25th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Bill Dockery

“Only 25 percent of people with disabilities are employed,” Massey said. “It’s our job to focus on abilities.” Besides her legislative work, she is executive director of the Sertoma Center, an organization that serves people with intellectual disabilities.

State Sen. Becky Duncan Massey, Katherine Moore and Knoxville Mayor Madeline Rogero gather after ceremonies on Market Square honoring the 25th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Moore is service coordinator for the DisAbility Resource Center in Knoxville. Photos by Bill Dockery agency that helps people with disabilities live independently. The center sponsored a visit to the city by the ADA Legacy Tour bus, which is traveling the country to raise awareness of the ADA, its history and its promise. “An estimated 20 percent of the population has a disability of some sort,” Rogero said. “Why would any smart business person build something that 20 percent

of the population can’t use?” Rogero reviewed the steps taken by Knoxville city government to promote independence, empowerment and self-advocacy among people with disabilities, including a disabilitymentoring day to increase city workers’ awareness of citizens with disabilities, as well as targeted sidewalk projects that improve access to the city’s bus system. “We are always looking

for ways to increase accessibilities,” she said. At least 35 agencies, advocacy groups and organizations filled the square with displays promoting services and goods for the disability community. Lillian Burch, executive director of the Disability Resource Center, handed out Spirit of the ADA awards to people and organizations who have been leaders in promoting accessibility and inclusion, including law professor Dean Rivkin, lawyer Brenda McGee, and their education practicum for University of Tennessee law students; educator Gary Harmon; U.S. Sen. Lamar Alexander; Bravo! Cucina Italiana restaurant; Tony Lawrence, an employee of the restaurant; volunteer Jason Gaul; and service provider Anne Woodle at East Tennessee Children’s Rehabilitation Center. The Knoxville Mayor’s Council on Disability Issues received a special award for its 30th year of service to the city.

GOSSIP AND LIES ■ Knox County Schools can’t afford to wax the floors this summer. ■ And Patti Bounds says somebody from Central Office has been coming around to the schools, collecting the wax that’s on hand. ■ Who needs this wax and why? ■ Tim Burchett – He wants to sell the wax and other assets to build a school at Gibbs. ■ Jim McIntyre – He needs a local match for another Broad Foundation grant. ■ Gloria Johnson – The multiunemployed former state representative who just resigned as a teacher has an idea for a new product: Johnson’s Wax. ■ Greg Isaacs – The lawyer who keeps the wheels of justice greased for his clients.

Gary Harmon, a Knox County English teacher and motivational speaker, shows off his Spirit of the ADA award to his two children: Nathan, who just completed the third grade at Blue Grass Elementary, and Kaitlyn, a rising eight-grader at West Valley Middle School. Harmon, the author of “My Daddy Takes His Legs Off,” is at work on another children’s book and a memoir.

government Cumberland road work harms Patel Construction on the west end of Cumberland Avenue continues to harm businesses. Local media carried stories of the Exxon station at 22nd and Cumberland where business is off 80 percent. Vice Mayor Nick Pavlis, who represents this area, has urged people to do business here to assist struggling businesses. He is right.

Victor Ashe

The station owner, Rakesh Patel, has been especially harmed. The signage to enter his station going eastbound is poor and it’s not great going west. Patel, who has lived in Knoxville 10 years, is from Gujarat state in India, the home state of Gandhi. He is not familiar with the workings of city government so it is easy for officials to ignore him. He is about to lose his livelihood. Hopefully, readers will fill up with gas there while this construction endures. I purchased gas there last week. He is a very nice but worried man. Who can blame him? The final Cumberland Avenue product will filter cars into two lanes of traffic instead of the current four lanes, creating a giant bottleneck in the heart of the city. And $10 million has been taken from Washington Pike to pay for growing costs there. ■ Former Police Chief Phil Keith says he is “flattered at the number of persons” suggesting he run for mayor. “ I will think it over,” he says. Qualify-

ing deadline for mayor, city judge and city council is noon Thursday, June 18. ■ Council member Finbarr Saunders has raised $21,000 for his reelection campaign, he says. He is closely allied with Mayor Rogero. ■ Dr. Katie Stringer, executive director of Blount Mansion, is leaving to take a position teaching history at Coastal Carolina University in Conway, S.C. She will be replaced by David Hearnes, her deputy, as the interim executive director. Hearnes, 36, has bachelor’s degrees in both history and historic preservation. He has been at Blount for a year and lives with his wife, Hallie, in Bearden. Dorothy Stair, mother of council member Marshall Stair, chairs the Blount Mansion board. The new MPC director, Gerald Green, will make $125,000 a year plus $4,800 a year car allowance when he starts work on July 1. This is an increase in pay from Mark Donaldson and Jeff Welch. He will be in the county pension plan. The new contract has not been completed but you will be kept advised once it is executed as it is a public record. ■ Jeff Welch did an effective job for the past six months running MPC and succeeded in removing the controversial Dave Hill which no one else had accomplished. ■ Ron Emery, who moved his 5 and 10 store from Chapman Highway to Pigeon Forge near Paula Deen’s Family Kitchen, says he is doing very well in the first four weeks. The first weekend doubled his expectations in sales. He hopes to have a formal opening this summer.

Sunshine law empowers Burchett in budget talks It’s budget time in Knox County. Mayor Tim Burchett has proposed a budget and county commission will soon decide whether to approve, amend or reject it. Outright rejection is unlikely. Long gone are the days of a strong county commission willing to ignore the county mayor (formerly the county executive) and pass a budget of its own. Why? One reason is Tennessee’s Open Meetings Act (more commonly known as the “sunshine law”) which effectively blocks any communications between county commissioners about

Scott Frith

public business outside of a public meeting. This makes it difficult for any commissioner to pass an alternative budget. (Unless you’re on a reality television show, it’s tough to negotiate with someone in public with the television cameras rolling.) Yet, unlike county commission, Mayor Burchett is

not restricted by the sunshine law in preparing a budget. The mayor and executive staff can meet individually with each commissioner and haggle behind closed doors to prepare a budget that meets both the mayor’s goals and a majority of the commission (whose votes are ultimately required to pass it). There isn’t anything sinister about this, but as you can imagine, the ability to hold private meetings gives the mayor a distinct advantage in budget negotiations. There are folks in this town who act like the sunshine law is the Magna

Carta. It isn’t. Ultimately, the sunshine law doesn’t make local government more open. Instead, the law merely shifts power away from the legislative branch and puts the power in the county mayor’s office. Moreover, in addition to being the chief fiscal officer for the county, there are other reasons Mayor Burchett has a strong hand in budget negotiations. Not too long ago, occasional tax increases were part of the job of passing a budget. Not anymore. It is difficult to overstate the toxicity of raising taxes among the Republicans who

control county government. (In contrast, last year Knoxville City Council passed a property tax increase with little controversy. A similar occurrence is almost unimaginable with the current county commission.) Therefore, without a tax increase, county commissioners end up with a lot less money to argue over. Fewer funds yield tighter margins for compromise and provide greater leverage for the county mayor to manipulate the outcome behind the scenes. Of course, I could be wrong.

This commission could surprise a lot of folks and strike out on its own with the upcoming budget. The proposed Gibbs Middle School is one issue that could gain support among commissioners and they could vote to overrule Mayor Burchett’s recommendation not to fund the new school. However, in order to be successful, any movement to fund a Gibbs Middle School would likely have to emerge from oversized forces in the Gibbs community and not from any individual county commissioner.

Happy in his new church home By Carol Shane Organist Ashley Burrell is excited to have found the perfect church for him and his musical gifts. The veteran musician most recently served First Presbyterian downtown, where he was music minister and organist for 17 years. During his time there, he helped to develop a comprehensive music ministry which included vocal choirs and handbell ensembles for all ages, and a “Music at First Church” concert series. “Many of my young singers went on to major in music or have continued with their music and have said what a special time it was to have grown up in the church,” he says. Before that, he was “down the Pike” at Second Presbyterian Church. The organist’s youth was spent in rural Alabama, where his church had “a run of young organists who served while in their teens. The first that I remember was when I was in elementary school singing in

Organist Ashley Burrell is the new music director at St. James Episcopal Church on North Broadway. the children’s choir and studying the piano. His name was Jim Rogers. Yes, that’s the same Jim Rogers who wound up in Knoxville and served as the director of music of Church Street United Methodist for 29 years!” Burrell began serious organ studies at age 12, and moved onto the organ bench professionally when he was only 15 years old. Burrell has also served churches in Florida, New York and North Carolina. Of his current church, where he’s been organist, cantor and choirmaster since March, he says, “St. James is progressive, com-

munity-minded, diverse, liturgical, friendly, and is serious about environmental stewardship and social justice. The brief mission statement of the parish is ‘feeding and tending God’s sheep.’ A number of parishioners are consistently in the kitchen preparing meals for the hungry. It’s a wonderful parish with a wonderful staff!” Burrell and his wife, Kyla Keck, are now empty nesters, with their three grown sons and one daughter living and working all over the country from Knoxville to Washington, D.C., to Las Vegas. The couple live in Farragut, “but we are hoping to move to one of the downtown neighborhoods or land somewhere within the Emoriland or Fountain City areas.” So if you’d like to join a progressive, diverse, socially-active church community and hear one of the finest organists in town, check out St. James Episcopal Church at 1101 North Broadway, or call 523 5687.

Sharing from Sharon By Cindy Taylor Sharon Baptist Church has many ongoing ministries that allow members to share talents with and provide for the community. For almost 20 years one of those ministries has been the annual food drive dubbed by the church as their SOUPer bowl drive. This is part of a nationwide effort and this year members at Sharon went all-out to purchase food. Cash donations from the church totaled more

than $5,000. With generous cooperation from Ingles Market the donations allowed for the purchase of 10,600 cans of soup, 295 boxes of crackers and 250 jars of peanut butter. The food was delivered to Baptist centers at Montgomery Village and Western Heights. The two centers serve their communities yearround with food, clothing, after-school care, life skills classes and more. Directors

at the centers say their need is high since Christmas with a drop-off in donations. The Rev. Mark McCoig participated in food drive along with many church members. “We at Sharon see the annual food drive not only as an opportunity to help feed those in need but also as an opportunity to share the love of God.” Sharon Baptist Church is at 7916 Pedigo Road.

Project superintendent Don Torbett talks with the Rev. Jerry Vittatoe about progress on Clear Springs Baptist Church. Front of the church is in the background.

God’s ring God said, “This is the sign of the covenant that I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all future generations: I have set my bow in the clouds, and it shall a sign of the covenant between me and the earth. (Genesis 9:12-13 NRSV) Of all the signs God offered His people, the rainbow is perhaps the loveliest. Any time a rainbow shows up, people stop and stare, filled with awe and wonder. I have seen double rainbows, and one time – one unforgettable time – I saw a triple rainbow. What I did not know about rainbows until I did some research in “The New Interpreter’s Bible” is this: the rainbow is socalled because ancient people believed that the bow they saw was God’s bow—as in “bow and arrow.” In other words, a weapon. God’s intention, however, was a ring – almost like a wedding ring – a promise, for all of God’s children, for all of creation. And in fact, I have seen a rainbow that was a ring. I was a passenger in a small private plane (and when I say small, I mean

The Crossroads gathering place By Cindy Taylor Senior pastor Jerry Vittatoe says the construction site of Clear Springs Baptist Church goes from being a mud hole to a dust bowl on any given day. But that doesn’t dampen his excitement about the progress of the building. Concrete floors were poured last week and the building is nearly under roof. Site superintendent is Don Torbett with George W. Reagan Company Inc. He was requested by church administrators for the job. “(Don) Torbett was the site superintendent when we added on to the current Clear Springs building,” said Vittatoe. “You have to really be on the ball and know a bit about everything that is going on. Part of the deal was that we would get him for this project.” Torbett says the job is close to its schedule but may carry over a bit into next year. Vittatoe says it is hard to imagine being in the new space. “I dream about the new church but I just can’t put my arms around it,” he said.

a two-seater: one did not get into that plane so much as put it on!) We were flying over Knoxville just as an afternoon shower stopped and there it was – a rainbow that was a complete circle! When one is standing on the ground, one can see only half of God’s ring – an arc. When one is in the air, however, one can see the whole bow – a wondrous ring of seven colors. It pleases me immensely to know that God’s promise is a perfect circle – a promise without end, a rainbow ring that reminds us of God’s love and protection. God gives us a ring!

Nineteenth-century civility By Carol Shane It seems that, along with all the other usual summer activities such as water fun, hiking, outdoor grilling and the like, East Tennessee is also currently ripe for time travel. Now that may strike you as an odd thing to say, but consider that the East Tennessee Medieval Faire just wrapped up its final weekend. And this coming Saturday, Ramsey House will be presenting a vintage “base ball” game. That’s right: vintage base ball – two separate words in 19th-century parlance – featuring vintage uniforms and equipment. And you can even ride a train to get there, just as old-time batsmen would have done. In fact, some of the current players will be riding along with you, sharing stories and moments from their favorite pastime. The magical event – think “Field of Dreams,” but a century earlier – features two hometown teams, the Knoxville Holstons and the Emmett Machinists, from the Tennessee Association of Vintage Base Ball (TaoVBB.) “Those are actual names of teams that played in 1864,” says Judy LaRose, Ramsey House’s executive director. “And they’ll be playing by 1864 rules.” For instance, instead of an umpire, there’s an arbiter. “The teams call

Nathaniel “The Kid” Cordle will join the rest of the Knoxville Holstons in a vintage “base ball” game this Saturday at Ramsey House. Photo submitted their own plays,” LaRose says. “If they can’t agree on a ruling, they go to the arbiter, and if they still can’t agree, they ask the audience.” Oh, yes, this is an interactive experience. And if it’s a hot day, which is highly probable this time of year, the players may wish to make adjustments to their uniforms, some of which contain wool. “If there are ladies present,” says LaRose, “the players will stop the game and ask their permission to roll up their sleeves.” It all comes under the heading of “recreating the civility of 19th century

base ball,” according to the TaoVBB website. “We promote living history by bringing the 19th century to life through base ball events that use the rules, equipment, costumes and culture of the 1860s. We provide cultural enrichment and education programs and activities to youth and adults that emphasize honor, team play, respectful conduct and community pride. Our goal is to exemplify to youth and adults alike the values that are lacking in modern-day athletic programs, and encourage a sense of belonging regardless of race, gender, religious conviction or

physical ability.” Ramsey House is in its second year of presenting such vintage games. The event is free to the public, and concessions sold will benefit the museum. “We’ll have hot dogs, popcorn and cookies, and we’ve just gotten our beer permit, so there’ll be cold beer,” says LaRose. Now about that train ride. Historic Ramsey House is very proud to be the recipient of the 2015 Tennessee Association of Museums Award of Excellence, which has recognized the museum’s partnership not only with the TaoVBB, but with Three Rivers Railroad. “It was J.G.M. Ramsey himself who brought the rails in to Knoxville,” says LaRose, “so including the train ride in the event is a real family affair.” The whole event has that family-friendly “make a day of it” vibe. It’s a good opportunity to show your kids that everyday life wasn’t always all about iPhones and Instagram, and to enjoy some of that 19th-century civility yourself. The Knoxville Holstons will play the Emmett Machinists at noon this Saturday, May 30, at Historic Ramsey House, 2614 Thorn Grove Pike. Info: 546-0745 or ramseyhouse.org.

Snapper al Limone By Mystery Diner It all started with Mama. Geraldine Ida Altruda was 12 when she left Italy with her family, settling in Plainview Long Island. Paul Meyer, owner of Altruda’s on North Peters Road, is one of her five sons. In the history of the restaurant, which has been a Knoxville staple for 27 years, Meyer says large family dinners were one of his fondest memories, with family traditions centered around the kitchen. Mama taught her children about good food. Meyer plates those lessons daily at the cozy, welcoming restaurant that captures diners as soon as they open the heavy wooden doors with the aroma of garlic rolls! Secret recipes from the home country, fresh ingredients and that Altruda family attention to detail make anything on the menu a good choice. The Snapper al Limone certainly stood up to the taste test. Large fi lets

of red snapper are dipped in egg batter and then sautéed in lemon, butter and white wine. The sauce swims on the plate with the snapper, so you not only get the flavor in the tasty fish, you can dip and swirl your forkful in more of the sauce if you desire. As with most of the entrees at Altruda’s, the Snapper al Limone comes with the signature salad and a side of pasta with marinara sauce. It is so hard not to fill up on the incredibly delicious salad, especially when they deliver those rolls that have been on your mind since you opened the door. The side dish of pasta was perfectly cooked – and I mean textbook perfect. My dining companion and I had to box it up after a few bites to concentrate on our entrees, but we lamented the few minutes it would spend overcooking in the microwave the next day. However, there was no lamenting going on the next day…

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

Life-saving treatment Grainger County man given second chance

James Mills was sitting on the floor of his home in Mascot on Feb. 7, helping his girlfriend, Kim Severs, assemble a spice rack. It was a simple task, and not strenuous, at all. “Something popped in my head,” Mills remembers. Mills told Severs that he felt funny. She asked him what was wrong. Mills was only able to reply with two words. “My head …,” he uttered. He says when the pain came, he also lost control over the left side of his body. Severs remembers the moment in detail. “His whole left side just went dead all at once – face, hand, arm, leg – all of it,” Severs says. “He was trying to talk, but I couldn’t understand what he was saying.” Having worked as a nurse at a nursing home in the past, Severs knew immediately what was happening as she watched her boyfriend seemingly melt on one side. “I got him up into a chair and then shouted at the neighbor to call 911, because he was having a stroke,” Severs says. Minutes matter in stroke treatment, so the ambulance rushed Mills from his home to a location where he could be picked up by a helicopter. He was flown to Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center. “I was terrified,” Severs says, “because I thought it would be permanent, to be quite honest.” Mills says the clot was the result of another problem that he had been dealing with for quite some time. “I have an afib heart,” Mills explains, “and my doctor had taken me off of my blood thinner.” Atrial fibrillation starts with an irregular heart rate that’s sometimes also rapid and can commonly cause poor blood flow to the body. During atrial fibrillation, the heart’s two upper chambers (the atria) beat out of sync and out of coordination with the two lower chambers (the ventricles) of the heart. This can result in blood clots, and if a clot is pumped down to the bottom of the heart, it can be pumped out to the rest of the body. In about 40 percent of cases, the clot goes to the brain, often resulting in a stroke. That’s what happened to Mills. Patients with atrial fibrillation are at a higher risk for stroke. While Mills was being flown to the hospital, Severs was rushing to meet him on the ground. She was filled with fear and anxiety. When time

idea to turn right around and put him through another procedure? “I asked Dr. Woodward what he would do if it was a member of his family,” Severs says. “He said he would order the clot retrieval, so that’s what we did.” Mills is back at home going about his daily life, and most people would never guess what happened to him in February. “I didn’t lose any of my motor skills, and I can pretty much still do what I did before the stroke,” says Mills. He’s experiencing some short term memory loss, but doctors say his memory will mostly likely be restored in good time. “So I reckon I’m in good shape.” Asked if he was afraid during the experience, Mills says he wasn’t, because he knew he was in good hands with the Comprehensive Stroke Center at Fort Sanders Regional. “They got me in and out, got me straightened up, they got me back home,” Mills says. “I thank God I’m OK, but I also thank God for giving The Interventional Radiology team within the Comprehensive Stroke Center of Fort Sanders Re- them the knowledge to do what they did for me.” “I was really impressed with Fort Sanders,” gional provides fast, life-saving treatment to hundreds of stroke patients each year.

WARNING Signs of Stroke

The region’s ﬁrst comprehensive stroke center Delivering immediate and excellent care When a stroke happens, timely treatment is critical. The Comprehensive Stroke Center at Fort Sanders Regional is well above the national average in delivering prompt treatment of live saving medication. Clot busting drugs are given to stroke patients through a vein to improve blood ﬂow and minimize potential disabilities. The amount of time it takes for a patient to be brought into a hospital until the moment medications are intravenously administered is referred to as “door to needle time.” While the average door to needle time is a little more than an hour, the door to needle time at Fort Sanders Regional is 45 minutes. That’s 15 minutes fast-

er than the national average. It’s just one of the many advantages a patient has when treated at a comprehensive stroke center. The stroke center exists to provide the highest level of stroke care for complicated stroke cases. “It really exists to provide that next level up from what you can get at your local community hospital,” Dr. Arthur Moore, medical director of the Fort Sanders Regional Stroke Center, says. “Strokes can often be treated at those hospitals, but ﬁnding out why the stroke occurred to prevent it from happening again sometimes takes someone who’s done a lot more work in treating stroke.” Moore says ﬁnding out the

“why” takes some digging into a patient’s background, and sometimes it’s not as obvious as the main risk factors. “Stroke centers tend to be better and faster at treating stroke just because we see it all the time,” Moore says. “We have doctors who can go up into the brain and pull a clot out, and that’s a really specialized niche. Most hospitals don’t have access to someone who can do that.” The Comprehensive Stroke Center at Fort Sanders Regional sees patients from throughout East Tennessee, and even from Kentucky. To learn more, visit fsregional.com/stroke, or call 865-541-1111.

If you or a loved one experience any of these symptoms, call 911.
