Lights at the Cove Just two days left for Knox County’s 17th annual Holiday Festival of Lights at The Cove at Concord Park. The last day is Thursday, Dec. 31. Open from 6-9 p.m., the festival provides a three-quarter mile greenway trail illuminated by a series of lights coordinated to music. The event is free, but Knox County asks visitors to bring non-perishable food items for The Love Kitchen.

Dave Barnes’ newest collection of holiday songs

By Carolyn Evans When Dave Barnes moved to Knoxville in 1994, he didn’t have plans to become a life-long musician.

He really didn’t even know any musicians personally. As a matter of fact, when he walked through the doors at Farragut High School to start his junior year, he was just a kid from Mississippi who played the drums. “We moved from a tiny town in Mississippi where there was no musical community,” says Barnes, who can now count 11 successful albums on his resume. “I never thought ‘I’d like to be a musician when I grow up.’ I didn’t

know it was a thing.” But Barnes says moving to Knoxville so his dad could take over the pastorate at Christ Covenant Presbyterian in Farragut was exactly what led him in a musical direction. He and three friends formed a contemporary Christian band called “Fishers of Men.” They practiced at his house and at Jonathan Foster’s house. They began to get gigs all around Knoxville, and Barnes even wrote a couple of songs.

This year, Barnes, who is now a singer/songwriter, sold out Nashville’s Schermerhorn Symphony Center – twice. He has been touring for more than 12 years, playing in all the big markets: Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Dallas, Seattle, San Francisco and Nashville. He is also working on his 12th album.

Pickle’s picks “It’s only opinion, after all, so there’s no right or wrong. ... And since the end of the year is always a good time to reflect, it makes sense to play the game. “2015 was a satisfying movie year because there were great blockbusters and amazing indies. It was a good mix. And while that makes the applesand-oranges quality of Top 10 lists dizzying, it’s also the perfect entry point for debate. So let’s begin:” Movie critic Betsy Pickle’s Top Ten movies of 2015, exclusively in today’s Shopper News.

Senior living proposed for Horne property By Wendy Smith A Franklin, Tenn., company plans to propose a 20- to 30-acre senior living community on the Kingston Pike parcel where Continental Properties proposed an apartment complex earlier this year. A vocal group of neighbors opposed the 236-unit apartment complex. Gary Keckley of GoodWorks Unlimited says the proposal package will be completed by the beginning of the year, but no further details were given. Property owner Doug Horne says the development will include independent villas, assisted living

and memory care. Those he has spoken to are highly in favor of the development, which he says is “very much needed” in Farragut. Keckley was in attendance when the Farragut Municipal Planning Commission discussed the creation of a new zoning district that would accommodate elderly care communities at its Dec. 17 meeting. Autumn Care Assisted Living developer Peter Falk was also there. The town is reaching out to developers of such facilities to make sure the zoning description is up-to-date, said Community Development Director Mark Shipley.

The new zoning district, Civic/ Institutional (C/I), would replace the little-used Community Service (S-1) district. C/I is intended to accommodate quasi-institutional uses, like churches, community facilities, parks and assisted livings, and provide a low-impact transition to abutting residential areas. The need for such a zoning district was discussed last year when an elderly care community was proposed on Grigsby Chapel Road. The proposal required a rezoning to Multi-Family Residential (R6), and neighbors were concerned that apartments could be built in

By Betty Bean I’d never heard of Zenobia Dobson until Dec. 17. And because media from all over the country has besieged her since the night her youngest son Zaevion was shot to death defending his friends from a pack of murderous shooters, I have neither met nor spoken with her. But in speaking with Zaevion’s friends, teachers, coaches and mentors, I’ve learned this: nobody is surprised that Zenobia Dobson’s son acted heroically. The stories I’ve heard – coupled with Zaevion’s display of instinctive courage and character when he shielded those girls from a torrent of bullets aimed at a group of innocent kids on a porch in Lonsdale– all point to the influence of the woman who raised him.

program with 100 Black Men of Greater Knoxville, a group that works with young men from ages 8 to 18, helping them develop life skills by introducing them to businesses, job training and plugging them into resources. “Zenobia is always there.”

Gary Mahoney of Cottage Creek subdivision told commissioners that he didn’t think the proposed C/I zoning should abut neighborhoods. Cottage Creek residents have expressed opposition to Falk’s proposed assisted living facility at Campbell Station and Herron roads. Concerns include increased traffic, including emergency vehicles, on Herron Road and commercial encroachment on one of the town’s gateways.

Fulton High School social studies teacher Jonathan Egert, who taught Zaevion when he was a freshman, said it was his mother’s selfless guidance that made him who he was: “Zaevion was led to that moment. Everything he’d ever done – his education, his athletics, his extracurricular activities – prepared him for that moment. So when I heard the news, it was not surprising. I heard someone say, ‘It’s because he was raised that way,’ and I absolutely agree. His actions are a result of his mother raising him the absolute correct way.” Egert described Zaevion as “very clean cut and mannerly.

NEWS FROM EMERALD YOUTH FOUNDATION OF KNOXVILLE

A Message from Steve Diggs Emerald Youth President and CEO As the New Year is upon us, I find myself taking stock and reflecting on the numerous blessings all of us at Emerald Youth have experienced this year. We are grateful for the incredible ways Knoxville residents open their hearts to initiatives for urban Steve Diggs youth – through the investment of time, resources and financial gifts. We appreciate it so much. This year we celebrated two important milestones: ■ The official opening of the 14-acre Sansom Sports Complex. Within its first week of opening, 1,000 young people played on its fields. ■ The successful launch of Emerald Academy’s first academic year. In partnership with Emerald Charter Schools, we’re privileged to help serve 126 kindergarten and first grade scholars. It was also a joy to welcome into our network of churches three new members: Second UMC, Smithwood Baptist, and Hillcrest UMC. These local congregations, along with more than a dozen others that have been with us for many years, are vital to our neighborhood youth development programs. I am struck that, counter to common perception, parents in the heart of our city want their children to achieve success and be good citizens just as suburban parents do. They respond positively to options that can lead to their children’s good health, academic excellence and leadership ability. It is a privilege to engage with so many families, and we are committed to working with them. As you enjoy the remainder of the holiday, I hope you will consider a gift of support to help us to end the year well and start serving kids on a strong note in 2016.

Second United Methodist serves Mechanicsville families & kids An urban Knoxville church that committed itself to the wellbeing of families and children living in nearby Mechanicsville is soaring as one of Emerald Youth Foundation’s most recent neighborhood JustLead locations. Second United Methodist Church became an Emerald Youth partner church in August under the leadership of the Rev. Tim Paul, senior pastor. “We have a lot of space. Our location is ideal,” said Paul. The gracious church campus overlooks the Sansom Sports Complex to the south, Emerald Academy and its surrounding neighborhoods to the north and west, and the city of Knoxville and its interstate exchanges to the east. About 40 youth from kindergarten through high school participate in JustLead at the church, arriving from schools that include Maynard and Beaumont elementary schools, Bearden Middle School and Fulton and West high schools. The youth receive homework help, participate in weekly Bible study, and enjoy fun in the church’s well-equipped gym, among many of the activities. Paul said the church hopes youth involvement will grow, and he’s been encouraged by the dedication of the congregation. More than 30 church members volunteer weekly, including as small group leaders during Wednesday night worship and fellowship.

Rachel Hopper, far right, leads children in a Bible lesson. Listening are Alex VanDyck, Daleyah Brown, Jashaela Bohanon, Angel Moore and G’ryah Dixon.

Rachel Hopper, Emerald Youth’s JustLead director at Second UMC, said the faithfulness of the church members and their generous provision of the building and other resources have provided stability and strength. “The church has brought a good, steady atmosphere to the kids. We have a consistent group of children coming every day,” Hopper said, adding that church had already built strong relationships in Mechanicsville. Church members have provided

Christmas gifts, teacher appreciation and school supplies for every student at Maynard Elementary, for example. Paul said he has been touched by the church’s commitment to the neighborhood and its deep desire to keep building the outreach to children and teens. “We are surrounded by Emerald Youth,” Paul said. “We thought we’d have a great opportunity to serve our community. The unexpected blessing is that we have been blessed as well.”

Members of the championship team are Erin Bennett, Alexis McGhee, Alaysia McGhee, Justice Newberry, Alyssa Lewelling, Lindsay Baker, Jada Bennett, Lien Alexander, Taylor D’Lugos, Tekeya Akins and coach Mark Alexander.

Emerald Children enjoy ‘Peanuts’ at Variety holiday party About 246 Emerald Youth children recently enjoyed a festive breakfast and showing of “Peanuts” at Regal Cinemas in Knoxville Center. The occasion was the annual Holiday Party hosted Dec. 5 by Variety of Eastern Tennessee and sponsored by Regal Entertainment Group. Afterward, children visited Santa and Mrs. Claus and received gifts to take home, which included a board game, a stuffed animal and another small toy. “The event is one of the most popular with our kids each year,” said Kent Stanger, Emerald Youth JustLead Ministry Director. “Variety is such a generous organization and really cares for our youth and families. I can’t think of a nicer way to make a kid’s day.”

‘Fuchsia’ takes

Volleyball League Championship Preparing to enjoy the movie, “Peanuts,” at the Variety Holiday Party are Daniel Sackie, Jeremiah Lee, Variety of Eastern Tennessee Executive Director Carol Fusco and Amyrical Bingham. Led locally by Executive Director Carol Fusco, Variety of Eastern Tennessee gives aid to a wide range of area children who are at

risk. Variety the Children’s Charity is an international organization devoted to protecting the health and well being of children.

Emerald Youth’s volleyball team “Fuchsia” won the recreation league championship recently, besting 11 other teams in the season that ended Dec. 6. Alaysia McGhee, 15, a freshman at Fulton High School, took top honors as most valuable player. About 130 middle and high school girls from across Knoxville played in the league, where teams are named for colors of jerseys. Emerald Youth Sports Director Dwayne Sanders heads up the program, and Tyler Hardin is volleyball coordinator. “The season was an unbelievable success. The quality of play and the talent

level were very high. The girls are getting interested in improving and excelling. They want to play volleyball well,” Hardin said. Alaysia, who typically plays as a middle hitter, distinguishes herself with her speed, agility on the court, and her love of the game. “Alaysia hustled all over the court. With Alaysia on the court, the ball was not going to hit the ground. She was so quick and had a sense for the ball,” Hardin said. The league just finished its 9th season. Members of “Fuchsia” attend Berea Christian School, Fulton High School and Vine and Whittle Springs middle schools.

FARRAGUT Shopper news • DECEMBER 30, 2015 • A-3

Senior living Michael Wilson of Farragut Citizens for Responsible Growth and Development said he’d like to see the zoning district “fast-tracked,� and that residents could be excited about an elderly care community on Horne’s property. Wilson lives in Baldwin Park, which is adjacent to the property. After the meeting, Waverly Court resident Rose Ann Kile said she wouldn’t be able to say whether she

Barnes graduated from FHS and went to Middle Tennessee State University, majoring in music. “Once I got into playing the guitar my freshman year, I was pretty smitten,� he says. He changed his major in music to a minor, but continued to play guitar and write songs. In was in his apartment in Murfreesboro that he composed “Grace’s Amazing Hands.� “I think it was one of the first songs I wrote that led me to think there might be something here. I was listening to a Tommy Sims’ really cool R&B album at the time. I really loved ‘Amazing Grace.’ I just took it and ran with it.� Musical influences were

varied. Barnes says he grew up listening to a lot of Mo Town. “I really loved Stevie Wonder, The Jackson 5 and Michael Jackson. And Mark Cohn, who wrote “Walking in Memphis.� His style is eclectic. He says the album he is working on that will come out in March is along the lines of the music coming out of Laurel Canyon in the late 1960s. Laurel Canyon is the part of Los Angeles where the Eagles, Linda Ronstadt, Joni Mitchell, John Phillips and Crosby, Steels, Nash and Young lived and wrote songs about life there. “One of the things I enjoy now, having done music for 15 years, is that I can mix it up.� Barnes says his “bit of

Famous tailbacks and their friends This is an extension of the chicken-or-egg timeline. You can use some of the thoughts in evaluating how Jalen Hurd does against Northwestern. Five Tennessee tailbacks achieved the grand prize of college football, election to the Hall of Fame. Little children should be taught their names in chronological order: Gene McEver, Beattie Feathers, George Cafego, Hank Lauricella and John Majors. Here is the first chickenor-egg question: Was their greatness based on athletic excellence and exceptional smarts or on the crusty linemen who (after shaving with chainsaws) knocked obstructions and resistance

Marvin West

into the third row of seats? It has been said that great running backs simplify blocking assignments. It has also been said that if a tailback plays an entire game without getting grass stain on his britches, friends up front must have been very protective. With McEver on the field, Tennessee never lost a game. His first best splash, in 1928, was his 98-yard return of the opening kickoff

against Alabama. He also caught a touchdown pass in that 15-13 monumental upset. In 1929, he scored 130 points and became Tennessee’s first all-American. Robert R. Neyland said McEver “was the best player I ever coached – or saw.� Maybe you’ve heard of Herman Hickman. He’s in the Hall of Fame. As a sophomore guard, he led the way for McEver. Ends Paul Hug and Fritz Brandt were allSouthern. Feathers followed McEver and led two undefeated teams. Hickman was a large factor in 1931. Tackle Ray Saunders, end Van Rayburn, center Talmadge “Sheriff� Maples and block-

ing back Deke Brackett were key aides. Parenthetical to this particular segment, Feathers averaged 9.9 per carry as the first thousand-yard rusher in the NFL. The Chicago Bears also provided blockers. Cafego was SEC player of the year in undefeated 1938 and more famous in ’39 as offensive star and safety when the Volunteers didn’t permit a single point. George ran and passed and punted. Guards Ed Molinski and Bob Suffridge (sixth in Heisman voting) and end Bowden Wyatt were stars up front. All three are in the Hall of Fame. Tackle Abe Shires and blocking back Sam Bartholomew (Jacobs trophy)

weren’t too tacky. Lauricella became an instant legend with the 75yard run against Texas in the 1951 Cotton Bowl. Lots of Volunteers cut down lots of Longhorns on that long trip. John Michaels caught Neyland’s attention. The coach once said “Michels was the best blocking guard in the United States of America.� The 1951 national championship team set records with 3,068 yards and 40 rushing touchdowns. Michels won the Jacobs trophy as the best blocker in the SEC. He’s in the Hall of Fame. Center Bob Davis, blocking back Jimmy Hahn, ends John Davis and Vince Kaseta, tackles Charley

Stokes and Jim Haslam and guard Vernon Lyons were very good. Majors had some really fine friends escorting him through the spectacular 1956 season. Blocking back Stockton Adkins, tackles John Gordy and Charles Rader, guards Bruce Burnham and Bill Johnson and center Bubba Howe cleared the way. Majors was nimble and quick. He made some would-be hitters miss. Now I ask you, which came first, great Tennessee blockers or famous tailbacks? Hurd is all the way up to second-team all-SEC. How much are the linemen helping?

Knox County Sessions Court Judge Andy Jackson, at right, and his wife, Janet, at left, greet guests Robin and Ron Vargas, who stopped by the Jacksons’ annual Christmas open house at their home in West Knox County.

Joyful holidays with the Jacksons

Each Christmas season for many years now, Janet and Andy Jackson have invited friends from near and far to a holiday open house at their gracious home, tucked deep into a pretty little valley among the rolling hills of deep West Knox County. The outside lights can be seen from far away as guests travel the winding roads to the home, where they are greeted by garlands draping the railings of the wide porches that surround most of the house. Bright red Adirondack rocking chairs offer an inviting place to sit on a warm December night. Inside, it seems that every inch of the home is decorated for the holidays, with collections of old-fashioned Santas, multiple Christmas trees, greenery, red bows, and, of course, a feast fit for a king. The focal point is a 12-foot tree in the spacious foyer. It’s a family affair, so little children, dressed in their holiday finest, dart through the crowd to oohs and aahs

How did Grieve topple Pavlis? City Council 10 days ago removed Nick Pavlis as vice mayor and replaced him with Duane Grieve by a narrow 5-4 vote. This column predicted two weeks ago that Grieve could win by a 5-4 vote. What happened? Why? First, Grieve really wanted it. He is qualified. Second, Duane Grieve Rogero did not help Pavlis, who had been her staunch ally for the past four years, which helped Grieve. Third, mayoral ambitions may have played a role. Fourth, some members honestly believed four years as vice mayor was enough and someone else deserved a chance. Fifth, the vice mayor elected last week might get to be interim mayor should

Victor Ashe

Rogero depart in the summer of 2017 to join a potential Clinton Administration. Sixth, Pavlis did not foresee this happening. Pavlis was seen as a hardworking vice mayor who did not make any serious errors. He had to oversee the entire council office departing in 2015, the first time in 30 years this had happened. So why did the council discharge him? Most answers are speculative as no one will go on the record with candid comments. Grieve will be the first architect to be Knoxville’s vice mayor. He has won two elections easily. He is very active as was Pavlis. Grieve

sought the interim mayor position in 2011 but lost on a 5-4 vote to Daniel Brown. Pavlis backed Grieve then. While Grieve will be supportive of Rogero in general, he is more likely to ask questions both publicly and privately. He will not be as totally supportive of Rogero as Pavlis was but he will not be an opponent either. He feels the council should play a role in setting the city’s vision. Pavlis is viewed as a potential mayoral candidate. The two other potential mayoral candidates on council, Marshall Stair and George Wallace, both backed Grieve, removing Pavlis from the higher visibility position. Some suspect practical politics may have been at work here.

Raw emotion was displayed by speakers opposed to Knox County Commission authorizing a contract for the Sheriff’s Office to use video cameras as a substitute for in-person visits for inmates at the county’s detention facilities. Chair Dave Wright said upfront the commission has no power over staffing decisions of the elected sheriff. He said the people could speak but implied it was a waste of time. That was countered by Tina Sparks of Vestal who said, “If you don’t have the power, who does?� Sparks said inmates need human contact. They need “touch, feel and eye contact. You cannot do that with a machine. “We should be able to have contact with our family, our loved ones, our friends. Machines are not the answer to everything.� Psychologist Nancy Mott said commissioners must consider the humanity of those who are incarcerated. “We are defined by how we treat the least of these, our brothers and sisters,� she said. “What kind of society do we want to live in?� The Rev. Harold Middlebrook doesn’t come to County Commission much, he said, because the members are generally looking out for “the least, the lost and the left-out.� “We should be looking for ways to help those/rehabilitate those who have fallen. I have found that

technology does not always work.� Middlebrook had one question: “If you cannot decide on what is going to happen, why is this issue before you now?� Afterwards, the commission voted 9-2 to approve the contract with Dallasbased Securus Technologies Inc. Voting no were the Democrats, Amy Broyles and Sam McKenzie. ■Midway land was rezoned for a business park over the objections of Thorn Grove residents. That vote was 10-1 with only Broyles opposed. Both Broyles and McKenzie will leave the commission in 2016. Republicans are trying to capture both seats, presumably heading for some 11-0 votes. ■Tea Party conservatives packed Farragut High School’s gym for Ted Cruz, the fast-talking Texas alternative to Donald Trump. Hmmm. A one-term senator who previously served in a state Legislature. Sound familiar? But the Tea Party by definition can’t favor somebody with Washington experience. Washington is the problem, not the solution, don’t you see?

an actual day in the life of a diversity employee. Are 30 employees needed to accomplish the goals or can it be done by 20 or 15? These are valid questions which have not been asked or answered. ■The Haslams’ Christmas gift to state lawmakers and many friends across the state was a handsome Christmas tree ornament shaped like the state of Tennessee with the state flag on one side and symbols of the state on the other. It was made in southern Poland which is noted worldwide for its creation of Christmas tree ornaments. Joy to the World Collectibles here in Knoxville handles their distribution in much of the USA. This ornament was made especially for Haslam under the direction of First Lady Crissy Haslam. It will be a collector’s piece. ■Mayor Rogero meets next week (8:30 a.m. Wednes-

day, Jan. 6) with Knox lawmakers as a group for breakfast in her City County Building office. Several legislators indicated they have no objection to the public attending. Rogero has not said what she thinks about public attendance. However, if you attend, do not expect breakfast for anyone except the invited guests. ■Hubert Smith’s term on KAT does not expire until December 2016. He was appointed by Rogero. He also continues on the Public Building Authority, appointed by Mayor Tim Burchett. He says he will resume regular attendance there. Smith works at UT and runs a weekly radio show. KAT chair Jim Richards placed him on the nominating committee which makes him ineligible to seek a KAT office. Smith has missed several meetings recently but says his 2016 attendance will be exemplary.

now a heartbeat away from the mayor’s office. ■The UT Diversity Office has been under fire with all sorts of allegations made. Some have merit and others do not. However, what seems lost in the shuffle is what do these folks actually do? What is a typical day for each of these 30 employees? Most people support diversity and for a university it is a valid goal. An academic environment should expose all to different views and walks of life. But is an actual Office for Diversity with so much staff needed to achieve this? What does the office actually do? Name something specific. For example, when the diversity officer at the UT Law School (of which I am a graduate) or engineering school comes to work each day what does he/she do after their first cup of coffee? The public needs more than a job description but

Powell’s Tyner Brooks honored Morning Pointe of Powell was named the 2015 Top Facility by its parent company, Morning Pointe Senior Living and Independent Healthcare Properties (IHP). Tyner Brooks was executive director since the Powell facility opened. He left in late 2015 to become executive director of the Morning Pointe facility in Columbia, Tenn. Diane Williams is the new executive director in Powell. “Tyner and his team’s enthusiasm and skills along with their desire to deliver what the customer needs and wants makes Morning Pointe of Powell the Community of the Year,” said Greg A.

A dying year, a new year We are treated as impostors, and yet are true; as unknown, and yet are well known; as dying, and see – we are alive. ‌ (II Corinthians 6: 8b NRSV) Bishops in India get ready for classes that were led by leaders from Christ Covenant Presbyterian Church in Farragut. The bishops received the training and materials and followed up with classes for 30 to 40 local ministers.

Christ Covenant Presbyterian excited about a new year of missions

By Carolyn Evans Vijay Gadepe, age 19, followed the Hindu faith at his home in India until someone invited him to an Easter service celebration. “He got saved in that service,� says Jim Barnes, pastor at Christ Covenant Presbyterian Church in Farragut. “He felt an immediate call to the ministry.� Now Christ Covenant is helping create a tidal wave of Christianity in India. Barnes now hopes to take his seminary-type training program to Israel this fall.

The two Americans worked for two weeks, eight hours a day. McCall taught four hours of theology, and Barnes taught four hours a day of how to live the Christian life in a practical way. This is often the first seminary-type training many of them have ever had, Barnes says. Equipped with training and a curriculum, the bishops in turn train the 3040 pastors under them. “Our curriculum may be used all over India� Barnes says. “It’s huge.� As he looks forward to a new year, Barnes says he’s excited about how his church will dramatically touch the world. “Our church supports about 30 missionaries around the world. We’re up to our eyeballs in missions.� Not only has the church worked through ELI, they also work with TEAM (The Evangelical Alliance Mis-

There have been some years that I have been happy to bid a not-sofond farewell to, but this is not one of them. It has been a good year, all in all. The world, so far, has continued to turn on its axis; the sun has risen in the east and set in the west; the force of gravity has stayed constant. These are things, I realize, that we take for granted, but perhaps we should not. I hope that in this past year you have loved someone, taught someone, forgiven someone. I hope that in this dying year you have seen something new, something old, something astonishing. I hope that your prayers have been heard and answered, if not in the way you had hoped, at least in a way that you could benefit from. I hope that in the coming year you will learn some things: things about yourself, your dreams, and your potential.

I hope that your coming year will be filled with joy and growth, with just enough excitement to keep life interesting, but not so much as to be frightening. I hope that in this coming year you will make a difference somehow: in your home, in your neighborhood, in your workplace. I hope that you will make a new friend, let go of an old grudge, give up a pipe dream. I hope that life will be stronger, warmer, richer, truer than before, because that is God’s will for you, always. I hope that you will live each and every day, blessed with joy and peace and love and grace!

Dorcas Circle supports Wesley House By Nancy Anderson For the women of Dorcas Circle, a Beaver Ridge United Methodist Church women’s ministry, Wesley House Community Center stays near and dear all year round. The women meet the first Monday of each month, offering support to one another as well as their favorite project, Wesley House. The Dorcas Circle keeps a constant collection going of individually wrapped snacks for the 95 at-risk in-

ner city kids who visit Wesley House daily. The women deliver laundry baskets filled with crackers, treats and juice boxes several times a year allowing the kids a nutritious snack every day before participating in afterschool tutoring and arts programs at the center. But on Dec. 14, it was the 30 inner-city senior citizens in the Wesley House WISE program who saw Christmas come by way of silver

We got as many things wished for as we could find. That was important. I think it was a nice surprise for them. Seniors love Santa, too!� Not only did the women shop for and wrap the gifts, they funded the project from their own pockets as well. “That’s what Dorcas is about. She was a woman in the bible who did good

deeds regardless of her own needs and she was blessed for it. “That’s just what we want to do, bring blessings to others by doing those things that need to be done to show them how important they are to God and that they matter. “There are enough bad things in the world we probably pay too much attention to.

More banjo! By Carol Shane There’s no way of knowing how many different resolutions are being made for the year 2016, but if one of yours is “hear more banjos,� boy are you in luck. Next week Knoxville’s popular Old City destination Boyd’s Jig and Reel will come alive with the sound of the twangy, soulful fivestring instrument – in bulk – when the Knoxville Banjo Orchestra Flash Mob invades “Tennessee Shines,� sponsored by WDVX. Kyle Campbell, the banjo player who heads up the whole thing, recalls the KBO’s beginnings. “Matt Morelock called all the banjo players he knew for the Meadowlark Festival back in the spring,� he says. “I started calling everyone I knew. It was about 20 banjos.� Campbell and part of his crew are fresh off the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra’s Clayton Christmas Concerts, where their banjo quartet made a real splash. “We were going to have the whole banjo orchestra playing in the lobby, but they thought we should be part of the show.� There wasn’t room for the whole gang, so Campbell and Jessica Watson, Tim Wor-

man and Don Phillips made a fine foursome. Phillips, by the way, plays a bass banjo that he made himself. A bass drum forms the body, part of a thick wooden pallet serves as a sturdy neck, and heavyduty fishing line provides resonant strings. It’s played in the upright position. The headliners for the evening are The Bearded, originally a trio of Campbell, Greg Horne and Chris Zuhr. They describe their sound as “oldtime mountain blues.� Campbell says the name came about because “we all had beards – at least when we started.� He’s excited to welcome three other players into the lineup. “There’ll be six in all,� he says. “We’ll have some new songs, some new sounds.� Also featured will be former Knoxvillian Mark Lamb, co-founder of Circle Modern Dance in Knoxville and Mark Lamb Dance in New York City. He’ll perform his spoken-word piece “Into the Fire� about the importance of cast iron skillets. It’s a preview of his show, “A Boy and His Dolly,� which will be part of the birthday tribute to Dolly Parton coming up at the Bijou Theatre (more info com-

to go for conviviality, food and drink. Why not get out for the first one of 2016? “You don’t get to see a bunch of banjos all in one place,� says Campbell, “so it’ll be special.�

The Bearded plus the Knoxville Banjo Orchestra Flash Mob and Mark Lamb will perform at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 6, at Boyd’s Jig and Reel, the non-smoking musical pub

Pickle Top 10: indies and space epics By Betsy Pickle Ranking a year’s movies has turned into a national obsession, but it’s so much fun and such a healthy addiction that you don’t have to worry about seeking professional help – unless you’re literally relying on a professional critic for guidance. It’s only opinion, after all, so there’s no right or wrong. People have different tastes and are drawn to different genres. And since the end of the year is always a good time to reflect, it makes sense to play the game. 2015 was a satisfying movie year because there were great blockbusters and amazing indies. It was a good mix. And while that makes the apples-and-oranges quality of Top 10 lists dizzying, it’s also the perfect entry point for debate. So let’s begin: 1. “Room� – This fall’s indie sensation is a powerful example of what film can do. Based on a novel by Emma Donoghue, who adapted the screenplay, “Room� shows the resilience of the human spirit with its story of a young woman and her little boy, held captive in a tiny space but using their imaginations to learn, grow and survive. The clash of fantasy and reality is brutally inevitable, but even when it arrives, “Room� finds avenues

Ma (Brie Larson) broadens the horizons of a confined world for Jack (Jacob Tremblay) in “Room.� to challenge and uplift. 2. “Star Wars: The Force Awakens� – The long-anticipated epic delivers new hope for the beloved franchise. After the dark years of the prequel trilogy, “The Force Awakens� builds on the familiar but re-engineers the space saga so that there’s a more complex palate of emotions and a more diverse array of characters. The emotional wallop of seeing old favorites back in action is a quantity that cannot be dismissed, but the new young stars – Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac

and Adam Driver – bring nuances that should carry the series into the future. 3. “Brooklyn� – A “small� film in the tradition of old Hollywood romances finds a way to tap into more intimacy than many of its venerable predecessors. A young Irishwoman comes to the United States to find opportunity, but cutting ties with the old country proves harder than she expected. Watch out: Saoirse Ronan may turn out to be the Meryl Streep of her generation. 4. “Amy� – Documentaries can hold their own

or even surpass narrative films in terms of powerful storytelling and cultural insight. “Amy� is a great film, no matter how it’s classified. It respectfully dissects the short and tragic life of singer Amy Winehouse and makes it clear why the world should regret her passing. 5. “The Martian� – Even before “The Force Awakens� arrived, space was a popular frontier in 2015 thanks to the collaboration of Matt Damon and director Ridley Scott (who has an affinity for the milieu). Adapted from a book by Andy Weir, “The Martian� is a roller coaster of an epic and a grabber of a lone-survivor story, with an outstanding performance by Damon. 6. “Trumbo� – Bryan Cranston’s measured portrayal of blacklisted screenwriter Dalton Trumbo serves a passionate plea for tolerance while depicting one of the nation’s darkest eras. 7. “The End of the Tour� – Jesse Eisenberg and Jason Segel do a graceful dance of the conflicts between art and commerce in this slice-of-life bio inspired by doomed novelist David Foster Wallace. 8. “The Danish Girl� – Oscar winner Eddie Redmayne triumphs again in a

period piece inspired by the life of a transgender pioneer, who first became noted as artist Einar Wegener. Redmayne is equally matched by the brilliant Alicia Vikander, as Einar’s artist wife. 9. “Ex Machina� – Speaking of Vikander, 2015 was her year, and “Ex Machina� is one of the reasons why. As an android exploring her human side, she befuddles both creator Oscar Isaac and tech geek

Domhnall Gleeson in this smart sci-fi drama directed by Alex Garland. 10. “Love & Mercy� – Whether you’re a Beach Boys fan or not, this film about the struggles of musician Brian Wilson will draw you in and break your heart. The debate continues over whether John Cusack or Paul Dano is the star (my vote’s for Dano), but both, along with Elizabeth Banks and Paul Giamatti, make this biopic riveting.

‘The Hateful Eight’ Samuel L. Jackson plays bounty hunter Major Marquis Warren in “The Hateful Eight,� now playing in the “roadshow� version in 70mm at Pinnacle 18 and expanding to regular screens on Friday. Writer-director Quentin Tarantino rounds up an octet of scumbags and strands them together in post-Civil War Wyoming during a blizzard. Mayhem ensues. The film also stars Kurt Russell, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Tim Roth, Channing Tatum, Walton Goggins, Bruce Dern and Michael Madsen. It’s rated R for strong bloody violence, a scene of violent sexual content, language and some graphic nudity.

The fun side of business By Sherri Gardner Howell It’s a party many in the Farragut business community look forward to every year: the Farragut West Knox Chamber of Commerce Holiday Open House. When the white tent goes up outside the chamber ofďŹ ces at 11826 Kingston Pike, area chamber members know it’s time. More than 200 joined the fun this year as the chamber offered a festive time to eat, drink, be merry – and, in true chamber style – do a

little networking! Chamber CEO and President Bettye Sisco welcomed members and guests, who were treated to good food and entertainment, as well as given an opportunity to donate toys for the chamber’s Giving Tree. The chamber has completed the ribbon cuttings and networking events on the calendar for 2015 and is spending the next few weeks working on 2016 and Farragut West Knox Chamber of Commerce CEO Bettye Sisco, encouraging the community center, welcomes YWCA representatives Karlyn Brown, left, to Shop Local. and Jessica Fithian to the party.

Formalwear store gets new name By Sandra Clark Savvi Formalwear is now Regal Tuxedo and Formalwear. Owner Ben Dobson says the name change ushers in a new chapter of his 30-year career. But the name change will not change Dobson’s relationship with the community or his customers.

“Our focus at Regal Tuxedo will be as it was at Savvi,� he said. “That is to give outstanding customer service while providing top quality products at reasonable prices. This will not change.� Dobson plans to continue his involvement in the dayto-day operations of his two stores – one off Kingston

Pike at Windsor Square and the other in Knoxville Center mall. He will be supported by trained employees, several of whom have been with Regal Tuxedo for over 20 years. “We are excited to roll out the Regal name as we plan for 2016,� he said. While continuing to offer tradition-

al styles, Regal will also offer Slim ďŹ t collections, light gray, charcoal, tan and navy. “What sets us apart is that we carry our stock in the stores so that customers are able to try on different styles. This also eliminates rush fees and extra shipping charges from a warehouse.â€? Dobson said his established relationships with

Jenny Nelson, events coordinator for Knox Area Rescue Ministries, and Lila Wilson, director of special events for Knox Area Rescue Ministries, sample the sweets at the Farragut West Knox Chamber of Commerce Christmas party. Photos by Nancy Anderson area bridal shops enables them to color coordinate weddings perfectly. As a community service, Dobson has long assisted local high school students with prom choices by providing tuxedos, free of charge, for prom shows and by offering discounts to students and rebates to the schools. Why the name change? Dobson said Savvi is a large corporate entity controlled mainly by owners

in large markets that have multiple stores, some as many as 20 or 25. He says the emphasis has shifted from individualized, personal service to the bottom line and what works in all the big cities. It seemed to him that the smaller markets were getting lost in the big corporate shufe.

Smart Toys to close By Sherri Gardner Howell The New Year is still two days away, and change is already in the air. Fans and customers of Smart Toys and Books will find their favorite shopping and party place shuttered, and Ziggy, the iconic frog who lives in an aquarium on the store’s counter, will be finding a new home. Lynda Blankenship, who has owned the store for almost all of its existence, is retiring from the toy retail business and closing the store at end of business Dec. 31. “It’s just time,� says Blankenship. “My family and I have had the store for 30 years, and we want to move on to something new.� The store opened in

Downtown West in 1985 and was briefly called Discovery Toys before the owner had to change the name for legal reasons. Lynda and her husband, the late David Blankenship, bought the business in December 1985. In May, they moved to Franklin Square, which was still being built. The current store is their third location in the shopping center. In its heyday, the business had a second location in Fountain City. “It’s been a family business,� says Lynda. “My husband, who was an engineer, was behind the scenes, and my daughters have been involved all their lives. The decision to close was a family one, as well.� Daughters Lauren Blan-

kenship and Kelley Weatherley-Sinclair agreed with their mom that it was time to move on to new adventures. “Lauren is a photographer and is actually moving to a different state to pursue that interest. I have been working for the past year for Premier Solutions, which is the marketing arm of Legal Shield, as has Kelley. We are going to continue that,� says Lynda Blankenship. Blankenship has a law degree, so the move to Legal Shield was a good fit for her, she says. The store name is listed with a broker for sale, and Blankenship hopes someone will be interested in continuing the legacy they have built. “We certainly employ a lot of good people and have

Lauren Blankenship, Lynda Blankenship, and Kelley Weatherley-Sinclair built Smart Toys and Books into a destination store,� she says. “We have tried to be a force in the community and serve the community. We would love it if someone would continue that.� Blankenship is grateful to the loyal customer base,

some of whom are now second generation shoppers. “Local businesses are extremely important. We have spent a lot of time pounding that issue through the years. It is an important concept and keeping local businesses going is certainly more

challenging than it was 10 years ago, but Knoxvillians do embrace their local businesses. We are grateful to those who have always supported us and have enjoyed the opportunity to get to know a lot of people on a first-name basis.�

Performing Arts celebrate throughout December Chorus and Band concerts, auditions for a spring musical – Disney’s Alice in Wonderland – as well as a Shakespeare competition all made December a month filled with performing arts at Concord Christian School. CCS Bands explored the sounds of Christmas with pieces that were familiar to the audience as well as a few new pieces. Director of Bands Matthew Stephens invited the audience to “sit back, relax and reflect on the greatest gift of all, Jesus. “I’m speechless!!!! I’m SO VERY PROUD of all of my kids!!! “They gave a great Christmas concert! Every day I am reminded how awesome and musically gifted my students are. I hope everyone in attendance “Celebrated the Season” with us and that God’s name was glorified. “Our theme this year was John 1:14, ‘And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us.’ So stinking proud!” Chorus students blessed the audience with an evening filled with joyful song. CCS Chorus Director Casey Harold stated, “What a privilege it is to work

with these students. Their hard work and determination make this the greatest place to work. I have seen each of these students grow and become more confident with every passing day.”

Seventh Grade students, Ruth Anne Kamer and Deborah Allion perform a medley of Christmas songs .

CCS teacher Kristi Casey took her Sophomore Environmental Science class to work with Ms. Hudson’s Kindergarten class as they made Christmas ornaments. The last week of the semester was filled with preparing for finals for High School students but Mrs. Casey found a way to allow the students to unwind and share some fun with the happy Kindergarteners.

Second grade celebrates the season Concord Christian School’s second grade did an amazing job with this year’s Christmas store. CCS students from all four second grade classes enjoyed making baked

goods and ornaments as always. A new attraction was Christmas Karaoke which was a hit and will return next year! Teacher Aja Grimes shared, “We can’t wait to visit the Ronald McDonald House after the New Year to present the money raised.” Additionally, students will be collecting household supplies and goods to be donated to Ronald McDonald House. Thank you, second grade, for making a world of difference in the lives of families in need!

Mrs. Stooksbury’s class is ready for their first customers.

Concord’s second grade raised close to $1,900 for Ronald McDonald House. Students in Mrs. Hart’s class are all smiles to start the Christmas Market.

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES

N EWS FROM PARKWEST, WEST KNOXVILLE ’ S H EALTHCARE LEADER • T REATED WELL .COM • 374-PARK

ASTYM treatment gets nurse back on her feet As a home health nurse for Covenant Health, Shawn Peterson relies on being able to stand for hours, move easily to assist patients and drive long distances. “I have to have my feet to do my job,” she said. “But I could barely even walk.” After struggling with foot, ankle and calf pain for months, Peterson was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis in both feet. The condition is caused by an increase in tension in the arch of the foot, usually due to physical activity or wearing unsupportive shoes. The arch is supported by the plantar fascia tissue, which can tear and send sharp pains through the foot and up into shins and calves. People who work on their feet like Peterson are at a higher risk to contract the condition. “Shawn had a chronic injury for more than a year,” Jerrod Adams, Parkwest physical therapist, said. “She tried different treatments to resolve it, but nothing worked.” During one physical therapy appointment, Adams spoke to Peterson about ASTYM, in which he and another Parkwest Therapy Center staff member are certified. The treatment is used to address a wide variety of diagnoses, including shin splints, shoulder pain and plantar fasciitis. “I read all about it and saw that professional athletes use it, so I wanted to try it,” Peterson said. “I just wanted to get better, whatever it took.” Twice a week for four weeks, Peterson’s physical therapy stretches and strengthening were supplemented by the ASTYM Sys-

In addition to pressure from the ASTYM call 374-PARK or visit us online at “They have to apply enough pressure to instruments, physical therapists massage CovenantHealth.com/TherapyCenters.

What can ASTYM treat? Damaged scar tissue can result from trauma, surgery, repetitive strain and immobilization. By addressing the soft tissue that has become dysfunctional, ASTYM can help rebuild it and prevent further injury. The most common diagnoses that can benefit from ASTYM treatment are:

Post-surgical scarring Post-traumatic fibrosis Trigger finger Carpal tunnel syndrome Lateral epicondylitis Medial epicondylitis DeQuervain’s tenosynovitis Wrist sprains Shoulder pain Plantar fasciitis Chronic ankle sprains Achilles tendinitis Shin splints Anterior knee pain Patellar tendinitis Hamstring sprains IT band syndrome Hip pain/trochanteric bursitis Sacroiliac joint and low back pain Degenerative arthritis

Six tips for proper shoe fit Wearing old or unsupportive shoes can cause issues in your feet, calves, knees and hips. By considering the following tips when you go shoe shopping, you may be able to limit the likelihood of injuries and conditions like plantar fasciitis. 1. Shop late in the day. You may not notice, but your feet are actually larger later in the day. Make sure to shop in the afternoon or evening to get shoes that will fit you all day long. 2. Measure your feet. Even if you’ve always been a size 8, have a sales associate measure your feet to confirm your size. Shoe size changes along with weight and age. 3. Flex the shoe. The bottom of your shoe should flex at the ball of the foot, not in the middle. 4. Choose the right shoe for your activity level. Walkers need a flat heel because they land on their heels. Runners land mid-foot and require the extra stabil-

ity and support of a flared heel. 5. Don’t rely on “breaking in” your shoes. Shoes should be comfortable when you buy them. Uncomfortable shoes can cause you to change your gait and possibly lead to injury. 6. Take your old shoes with you. Wear patterns of your old shoes can help the sales associate determine the proper shoe for your stride. If you are already experiencing foot or leg pain, make an appointment at the Parkwest Therapy Center to speak with a physical therapist. The staff can help you rehabilitate your injuries and prevent them in the future. They can also provide advice and exercises to increase strength, correct gait and maintain a healthy lifestyle without the risk of injury. For more information, visit CovenantHealth.com/Therapy Centers or call us at 374-PARK.

Covenant Health Knoxville Marathon Corporate Team Challenge members pose for their first group picture at Parkwest Medical Center. Team members will serve as ambassadors for corporate health and fitness. They are: (front) Lisa Benton, Naomi Blair, Neva Foust, Lee Ann Bowman, Tatia Harris, Cynthia Jones; (back) Robert Holder, Misty Monday, Jennifer Marsh, Bob Yarbrough, Chip Braeuner, Allison Benge, Melisa Hart and Chris Blevins. sen from the marathon’s Fittest Company Challenge participants, a variety of employers throughout East Tennessee who are encouraging their work force to use marathon events to achieve optimum wellness. The team will receive expert advice on diet and exercise, and will serve as community ambassadors for health and fitness. Covenant Health’s first team was assembled for the inaugural marathon in 2005. Since then, the program has grown and changed to reach various groups of people. The 2016 team will be the first to focus primarily on corporate wellness, striving to help employers support workers’ efforts to be healthy. Info: knoxvillemarathon.com or covenanthealth.com/marathonteam

Let the wellness begin Corporate team challenge highlights work wellness High blood pressure, elevated cholesterol, diabetes, aches and pains – these are all common problems affecting millions of people in the American workplace. We learn to live with it, take the pills, and clock in, because there’s a job to be done. But what if there’s a better way? Covenant Health has assembled a team

of representatives from local businesses to train for events in the Covenant Health Knoxville Marathon, April 3, 2016, as a path to better health and fitness. The new team members are ready to get serious about getting healthier, and have made a commitment to help others do the same. For a little extra motivation, they will be competing against each other to see who can make the greatest strides in health and fitness by race day. The team will be coached by Covenant Health fit-

ness advocate Missy Kane, who is an Olympic runner and a member of the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame. At the end of the three-month training period, a winner will be named based on improvements in health and fitness, goals reached and team participation. The winner will receive a package of prizes from marathon sponsors, but Kane says past team members have told her the real prize is the new lease on life that comes with being healthy and strong.

How to change

everything By Carol Shane Perry Ward, who lives in South Knoxville but teaches voice at UT Chattanooga, says he can trace his weight problems back to “too many sodas in my teens.â€? Even though he gave those up more than 25 years ago, he’s always struggled to keep his weight down and has tried various methods over the years. “But my real story begins about six years ago,â€? says the handsome baritone, who has had an international singing career and was once on the Metropolitan Opera roster. “I had just lost my job in the downsizing of the Bush recession,â€? he remembers. “It was sudden and unexpected. “I sent out a raft of rĂŠsumĂŠs and applications – academic, church jobs, retail – but received only rejections.â€? By late 2009, depressed and worried, Ward says, “my weight had risen to over 250 pounds.

Not my heaviest, but certainly the heaviest in many years. I didn’t like myself very much.� It was a wake-up call. “That December, I decided to change. Change everything. From the inside out. I wanted to be a better person. I wanted to be a more attractive job candidate – not just outwardly, but inwardly.� On the cusp of turning 50, Ward read the book “Younger Next Year� by Chris Crowley and Dr. Henry Lodge, and its information on the aging body’s metabolism and physiology made a big impression. “I knew I needed to do something. I was working two part-time jobs and I wanted to stop feeling resentful and desperate. “I went to work on me.� Having had experience with the “Change One� diet program years before, Ward knew about the effectiveness of slow change. He’d also read Mark Bittman’s

book, “Food Matters.� Eschewing the idea of another “diet,� he began to craft a plan using ideas from his three sources. “This was going to be a complete makeover into a nutrition and exercise plan I could live with.� By starting small with breakfast – a meal he usually skipped – Ward was able to eventually incorporate healthier eating choices at every meal. “I quit fast food. I have had perhaps five fast food meals since 2011. “I was amazed what happened to my palate after quitting fast food. I really had no idea how much salt is added to fast food, not just the French fries.� He switched from burgers and fries to half a sandwich and salad. He added healthy snacks of fresh fruit throughout the day, gave up white foods such as sugar and flour, and incorporated lots of lean protein, veggies and whole-grain carbs. Food, however, was only part of the equation. “I knew that I needed to get moving. This also needed to be a plan I could live with every day. Likewise, I started small, walking for 15 minutes three times a week. Then it was 30 minutes every other day. Soon, I graduated to moderate aerobics 30 minutes every other day,

and may seem overwhelming, but Ward points out that “it took me the better part of a year to adopt all of these dietary and exercise changes. I have maintained them now for over five years. It took over two years, but I dropped from 250 pounds in January 2010 to 197 pounds in April 2012.
