24 News CRYSTAL continued from page 4 begins at a low volume and grows as she calmly maintains a constant rhythm. Her description is accurate as the volume increases and the vibration of the sound waves can be felt coming off the large bowl and being absorbed by the body. “I’ve only got to experience it a couple of times, but I thought it was pretty cool. I was amazed at literally feeling the vibrations through my body,” Mullins said. “Like, even into my bones. I thought it was just a hearing experience. I didn’t realize it was really a whole-body physical thing. I didn’t realize how loud the bowls got, either. I think you can sit anywhere in the store and hear it. It really sounds cool when she plays the different bowls together.” At the moment, there are two other bowls in the store. One is attuned to B 497. Again, it’s the middle B (B4), which is 493.88 Hz.

Defenders Boxing athletes earn a pair of championship belts Submitted by Richard Hexamer
Two local youth boxers from Defender’s Boxing Club each won a championship Saturday, Oct. 21, in Stuttgart, Arkansas for the Stuttgart Gloves Not Guns Boxing Club “Fight for the Cure.” The event was held at the Stuttgart Jr. High School Gymnasium. Isaac Griffin returned to competition after being out of the boxing ring for over a year. Griffin faced a Stuttgart hometown boy in the 135-pound Youth Male Division. Griffin did not let ring rust stop him from winning upon his return. He used his height and long range to outwork his opponent from the outside, earning him a split-decision win as well as a nice championship belt. Next up for the Polk County kids was the always fired up Jasmine Parker. She stepped up into the open division in the co-main event on the card as she faced the national ranked No. 7 female in the 110-pound Intermediate Female Division. Parker has worked extremely hard to make this step and the timing felt right. These young ladies fought a good back-and-forth battle with neither backing down or giving in. Parker’s opponent was determined to show why
she is nationally ranked and pushed Parker hard for three rounds. However, Parker was even more determined to show she deserved to be there, dug her heels in and fought awe-
somely. She listened to her corner and made the necessary adjustments to get the split-decision win, showing she is evolving in the ring. She also brought home a tournament championship belt. I, as a coach, am super proud of both of these young warriors.
