the one not looking for a job! By Sandra Clark Shopper-News is looking for an advertising sales rep for Union County and Halls. It’s said that every hire is a reaction to the previous hire ... and that’s the case with us. When Brandi Davis took a job closer to home, we replaced her with one, and then another, high-powered, professional sales rep who quickly left us for “a better job.” This time we want somebody who knows (and likes) the Shopper – somebody who knows (and likes) Union County and Halls and has a record of community involvement. We have fun at ShopperNews. We want someone who likes to laugh … someone who’s not looking over our shoulder for a different job. The successful applicant will be computer literate with a record of community involvement. Send your resume to me at sclark426@aol.com. We will fill this spot with somebody who can set goals and reach them. You’ll work 40 hours a week for Journal Media Group with awesome corporate benefits and solid base pay plus commissions. Don’t think you can’t do this. You can. We look forward to hearing from you.

By Ruth White Central High School HOSA (Health Occupations Students of America) students experienced firsthand the work of hospital personnel during a recent disaster exercise at East Tennessee Children’s Hospital. The group spent the early morning preparing for their roles as mock patients for the drill. The scenario was that participants were victims of a tornado touching down at Neyland Stadium during a UT football game.

How ‘sweet’ clean water is By Betsy Pickle Spring cleaning seems to be at the top of everyone’s to-do list, and Outdoor KnoxFest is not immune. In the middle of this weekend’s lineup of fun activities is the SweetWater Clean Sweep River Clean-up. Outdoor KnoxFest takes place this Friday-Sunday, April 24-26, at the Outdoor Adventure Center at Volunteer Landing and around South Knoxville’s Urban Wilderness. SweetWater Brewing Co. and Aubrey’s restaurants are presenting this new event for Outdoor KnoxFest. “The SweetWater Clean Sweep

Classmates helped to apply makeup to match each “victim’s” injuries. “The students will be able to experience the triage process and witness the hospital staff handle mass casualties,” said CHS instructor Chris Hammond. Some of the injuries were minor: nosebleeds, fractures, broken bones, head injuries. But one “patient” was pronounced dead on arrival. Students from across Knox County participated in the event at area hospitals.

At Aubrey’s at Papermill, manager Stevie Ogan and bartender Taylor Armistead help promote the SweetWater Clean Sweep River Clean-up.

Lovely laborers Word around Halls is that if Shelba Murphy’s photo isn’t in the Shopper, then there must not be anything going on. While that may be true, it isn’t because Murphy seeks the spotlight. It just seems to follow where she goes. “I have so many family connections having been born here and living here all my life that most everyone knows me,” she said. A Halls native, Murphy was actively involved in the community through the PTA when her children were in Halls schools. She was instrumental in forming the first girls’ softball league in Halls and coached when her daughter was playing. This was the beginning of the current Halls softball program. In 2005, the Halls Crossroads Women’s League was formed. Murphy saw even more opportunities for service through the league and immediately became a member. As a full-time community volunteer, she continues much of her service through the league as its president. The league operates the Halls Crossroads Women’s League Closet ministry

serving residents in Halls, Powell, Corryton, Maynardville and North Knoxville. Members of the league volunteer at Tennova Residential Hospice in Halls, have contributed $5,000 toward the purchase of the land for Clayton Park and oversee the Thomas Hall cemetery. The league also supports the Halls Food Pantry, Halls Welfare and Halls Outdoor Classroom and awards two scholarships each year to deserving senior girls at Halls High School. They organize community litter clean-ups, are members of the Adopt-a-Road program and have sponsored placing park benches in the Halls Greenway Park and throughout the community. In just the past seven years, the league has given more than 47,000 hours to the community and donated more than $125,000

to community programs for a total impact on the Halls community of $970,000. “I’ve always believed you have to give back to the community,” said Murphy. “You have to be involved and interested in things that affect the place you live.” This year is the 10th anniversary of the Halls Crossroads Women’s League, and members have a lot going on. A cookbook has been compiled with recipes from members. All proceeds will go toward the publishing of a book containing the history of Halls. The league has contracted with an author to write the book. This past Saturday, members handed out tarps at the Halls convenience center. A rummage sale is planned 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, May 2, at the Halls Senior Center, and a gala will be held this fall. Other events will be coming up throughout the year. The league is almost 100 members strong, and new members are always welcome. Info: www.hallscrossroads-womens-league. org. Contact Cindy Taylor at ctaylorsn@gmail. com.

Before cookie sales began this year, Girl Scout Troop 20094 voted to put part of its proceeds toward a service goal: to help a child with cancer. The girls were inspired by one of the mothers’ work with Special Spaces, a group that remodels bedrooms of acutely ill children.

Basketball cheating isn’t new The politics of voting and photo ID

Wonderful, isn’t it, that Tennessee basketball will never again by plagued by cheating disorders. No more penalties or embarrassment, so ordained, more or less, by athletic director Dave Hart, who really likes his job, especially on the second and fourth Fridays of each month. We may never know what Donnie Tyndall knew when, but it is amazing that some who judge seem to think he or his may have been first to twist or stretch rules and regulations. Alas, it has been going on since shortly after Dr. James Naismith hung the original peach baskets, appointed scorekeepers and launched the coaching industry. Naismith did not cheat. He had a losing record. Cheating is a major problem in basketball because one great player can make a stunning difference. Two can mean a championship. Since there are never enough greats or even goods to go around, slick sales reps on commission may offer more exciting enticements than scholarships. Chairs of academic integrity (eligibility) sometimes do whatever is needed to excel or save the coach’s job.

Marvin West

At some places (North Carolina and Syracuse come to mind), they do more than necessary. I do believe college cheating is pretty much a 50-50 proposition. About half the coaches do and half don’t. Some host barbecues in pursuit of small advantages. Some go for broke. Al McGuire said the secret of success was to keep it simple. “I waited until recruiters identified the best player. When they lined up to deliver their messages, I went to the front of the line and signed that player.” Coach McGuire did not go into details. Fans are similar. They are about 50-50. All want to win. Some don’t care how. NCAA police appear to be 10-90 types. They lack subpoena power. They catch an occasional crook. Dumb ones are more vulnerable. Earlier in my sporting life, I was greatly disillu-

sioned by some of the things I saw and heard. I could not believe the great Adolph Rupp had a Kentucky manager hiding behind the bleachers, sneaking a peek at Tennessee’s Friday practice before a Saturday game in Lexington. I got a tip that it was actually happening. Vol manager Greg Coffman and I converged from opposite directions and caught the villain, armed with notebook and pen. “Young man, what are you doing back here?” “Searching for lost car keys, sir.” It really hurt to hear that John Wooden’s legacy at UCLA was inspired and funded by wealthy developer Sam Gilbert. During Wooden’s domination, Sam provided interest-free loans and helped players exchange complimentary tickets for cars and clothes. He allegedly arranged abortions for girlfriends. Wooden never noticed. For book royalties, star center Bill Walton revealed the secrets. Las Vegas coach Jerry Tarkanian put the UCLA system in perspective. “The only team with a higher payroll was the Lakers.”

It was so sad when Villanova, Western Kentucky, UCLA and UConn had to give back NCAA tournament victories and earnings because they used ineligible players. It was shocking that it happened twice to Memphis. It was unbelievable that John Calipari was commander-in-chief for one Memphis mess after enduring a previous refund at Massachusetts. Like Wooden, Calipari had no idea there was a bad smell in the house. Some of John’s current friends are unusual. Some prosper in the suspicious AAU/shoe game. True Calipari disciples say their hero and Rick Barnes’ friend has been clean as the proverbial hound’s tooth as Kentucky coach. Michigan’s five fabulous freshmen of 1992 turned out to be heartbreakers. They were so good – and bad. Chris Webber was the star going up and down. He eventually pled guilty to criminal contempt for lying about $280,000 accepted from a booster. Lying is serious. Just ask Bruce.

Proposals for coliseum, Henley draw mixed response A city consultant’s report that suggests five significant steps to enhance downtown development was met with Bill expressions of interest, sugDockery gestions and complaints.

In politics, the truth rarely gets in the way of a good argument, and few issues have become more political than requiring photo identification to vote. The Tennessee Voter Identification Act, more commonly known as the photo ID law, requires nearly all voters to provide a Tennessee or federal ID before they can vote. As a result, many Democrats (and a few Republicans) have alleged that the law keeps indigent or low-income folks from voting because they can’t afford the cost of a photo ID. It would be a good argument if it were true. While most voters are required to have a photo ID to vote, the law specifically exempts those who cannot afford to pay for a photo ID. In other words, if you can’t afford a photo ID, and you’re willing to sign a form saying so, you’re not required to have an ID to vote. In fact, once you sign that form, the election officials will allow you to vote on the voting machine just like everyone else. No questions asked. (Of course, if you pull up to the polling place in a Rolls-Royce and wearing a Rolex watch, some folks might start asking questions.) Why don’t more folks understand this part of the law? A cynic might say that Democrats don’t better publicize this indigence exemption because they’d rather attack Republicans for (allegedly) disenfranchising voters than actually get more low-income folks to the polls. Others

Scott Frith

might say that Republicans don’t better publicize the exemption because they don’t want low-income folks to vote at all. Even worse, it’s just as likely that activists from both parties never took the time to fully understand the law and are just arguing their talking points. Bottom line, Tennessee’s photo ID law is a commonsense safeguard on the ballot box. You have to show an ID to cash a check or buy a beer. It’s just as reasonable to require folks to prove their identity when they go to vote. Just remember, under the law, no one is prevented from voting because they can’t afford a photo ID. Grumbling about Gibbs. Unless you live in the Gibbs community, you may have heard grumbling last week about the school board endorsing a plan to build a new Gibbs Middle School. As a result, County Commission will now decide whether to fund a new school despite the superintendent of schools saying we don’t need it and the school’s $30 million price tag. At the same meeting, the school board also endorsed a new middle school in Hardin Valley. As the joke goes in government, “Why buy one when you can get two for twice the price?” Scott Frith is a local attorney. You can contact him at scott@pleadthefrith.com.

Testerman brought youth, modernization to city The late Kyle Testerman was the only Knoxvillian to serve two separate 4-year terms as mayor and the last member of City Council to advance to the mayor’s office. Others serving on council have run for mayor since 1971, including Jean Teague, Danny Mayfield, Bernice O’Connor, Casey Jones and Ivan Harmon, but voters have not chosen a council member to be mayor since Testerman defeated the late Mayor Leonard Rogers. Testerman fought many battles – some more successfully than others – but no one doubted where he stood on an issue. He assembled a young team at city hall – called the Kiddie College by the Knoxville Journal – including Darrell Akins (then 23), Guy Smith IV, Jim Easton, Bill Booher, Graham Hunter and Rick Dulaney. In some ways, he was Knoxville’s first modern mayor, starting a computer system, modernizing the finance department and changing the ways of uni-

elected chair of the state Republican party by a vote of 33-27 over state Rep. Mary Littleton, with a third candidate receiving three votes. The committee has 66 members. ■ Haynes was the choice of elected party leaders, and he was clearly the most able, articulate and energetic choice. He will make a difference going into the 2016 presidential campaign. Haynes is the youngest person to be state chair of the GOP (he’ll turn 30 on May 8) and is the first Knox Countian to serve since Susan Richardson Williams. Other Knoxvillians who served as GOP state chair included Erby Jenkins and Claude Robertson, both attorneys now deceased. Haynes has a law degree and is scheduled to take the bar exam this summer. His resignation as state representative will probably occur at the end of the current legislative session, which could be this week. The governor must set a date for a special primary

and general election to fill the seat within 120 days of the vacancy, which means voters may fill it by September. Meanwhile, Knox County Commission may name an interim replacement for a few months. Lou Moran is mentioned. Several persons are expected to seek election to Haynes’ seat, which includes overwhelmingly Republican Farragut and West Knox County. Names being mentioned include Jason Zachary, who ran for Congress last year, former Farragut Mayor Eddy Ford and school board member Karen Carson. Others will emerge. ■ Mayor Rogero’s budget message will be noon Wednesday, April 29, at Lakeshore Park. Getting there at 11:30 is a smart idea for good seating. The public is invited.

Sexual assault on college campuses was Sobieski’s immediate answer, but she also cited removal of the “glass floor” that threatens women until they have full constitutional rights through the Equal Rights Amendment.

“Fifty-four years ago, I called the Coliseum box office and asked if there would be a section for Negros,” Booker said. “I was told it would open on an integrated basis. When I told the people in the office where I was using the phone, they literally shouted for joy.” Booker said that for Knoxville blacks, the Coliseum was like having a taste of New York City or Los Angeles. It quickly became a center for cultural activities for all races.

“Now we’ve come to discuss whether the facility is too old and too outdated to maintain,” he said. “The Civic Coliseum is a tremendous asset to this part of the city. If it can be renovated, then that should be our course. Building a new one on another site is irresponsible and outrageous.” Umoja Abdul-Ahad said that urban renewal in the 1960s devastated Knoxville’s African-American community. Margaret Gaither sug-

gested that the price might be too high to raze the auditorium/coliseum and take the property for other uses. “I’ve lived in Knoxville for 60 some years and was working with KCDC when all this took place,” Gaither said. Citizen comments on Henley Street ranged from the need for improvements to traffic flow between downtown and the University of Tennessee/ Fort Sanders area to problems with restricting access

He merged the school systems by a charter amendment to remove the city from operating a school system.

Change the world by treating women better Those who think of Jimmy Carter as a peanut farmer who happened to mosey into the White House might be surprised to learn that Carter, at age 90, has dedicated himself to fighting injustice and violence against women and girls. Wanda Sobieski, president of Sobieski, Messer & Associates law firm, discussed Carter’s 2014 book, “A Call to Action: Women, Religion, Violence, and Power,” at last week’s Books Sandwiched In program at the East Tennessee History Center. Carter writes that the single biggest barrier to world progress is the abuse of women and girls, which is largely caused by incorrect interpretation of religious texts and a growing tolerance of violence. He goes on to say that the way to effect the most change is to change the way women are treated. Sobieski, who consid-

along Henley into South Knoxville. Rhonda Reeder, who lives on Jackson Avenue and works at UT, called Henley a barrier and encouraged the city to narrow the street to make it more friendly for pedestrians, bicyclists and commercial interests. Betsy Pickle responded that Henley “is not a corridor. It’s a street. It is not a barrier to connectivity.” She said changes to Henley would degrade access to South Knoxville.

Chuck Denney as Dr. Kirkland

Carolyn Wells as Magda Svenson

Playhouse romps through ‘Night of January 16th’ Crowd favorite Carolyn Wells did not disappoint as the prim and pious Magda Svenson. Rounding out the cast were Dan McMahan (bailiff), Hoyt Lansdell (judge), Tabitha Nelson (stenographer), Jean Weeden (court clerk), Chuck Denney (medical examiner), Christina Perkins, Flash Black, Allen Robertson, Sheila McMahan, Colby Russell and Wendy Myers. The play marked the close of the Powell Playhouse’s fourth season. It was good to see Jim Black at his post and watch Mona Napier point out the exits. Gina Jones paid tribute to the Playhouse’s founder, writing: “I am amazed at the growing support to carry on the legacy of Mrs. Nita Buell Black. We miss her dearly but are so blessed by this gift she left our community.” “The Night of January 16th” was an ambitious undertaking by the amateur company. A record 18 actors performed – and that’s not counting the 12 jurors who labored toward a verdict with each performance. – S. Clark

With a jury selected from the audience, competing attorneys Chuck Severance (prosecutor Flint) and Mark Johnson (defense attorney Stevens) battled to convict Melody McMahan (Karen Andre) of murder. One play-goer said the acting was a spoof on Perry Mason-type dramas. The characters certainly were distinctive. Gina Jones directed the Ayn Rand play, set in the 1930s in New York City. Severance gets kudos for memorizing lines – page upon page of lines. Grant McMahan as Officer Elmer Sweeney brought down the house with his sly sideways glances and racy dialogue. Melody McMahan played Karen Andre as Rand would have wanted. She was intense, self-assured and unapologetic for her unconventional views and lifestyle. Carly Johnson caught the character of Nancy Lee Faulkner, the somewhat flighty widow of the victim. Scott Rutherford owned the role of the gangster Guts Regan, a character played on Broadway by Walter Pidgeon.

Not your mom’s ‘women at lunch’ By Sherri Gardner Howell There is nothing toddling about this 4-year-old. As the Women’s Fund of East Tennessee celebrates four years since its inception, the organization is running full force and head-on toward the mission: Transforming the lives of low-income women and girls in East Tennessee. The fund, under the leadership of Executive Director Terry Morgan and a power board led by chair Maureen Dunn McBride, provided 2015 grants to nine organizations at the Women’s Fund Luncheon Thursday at Cherokee Country Club. Total granted for the year? $99,500. That brings the total to $235,250 for 14 grants in the nonprofit’s three years of granting. The luncheon was a time for celebration, awareness and recognition. Following remarks by Morgan, Knoxville Mayor Madeline Rogero, who was suffering from laryngitis, stood smiling at the podium as Patricia Robledo, city of Knoxville’s

Brenda Wood and Cindi DeBusk, chair and vice-chair of the luncheon, gave thankyous, including recognition for glass artist and sculptor Tommie Rush, who created the awards given each grant recipient. Then, in a move that had to break any who would stereotype a “women’s” luncheon, former University of Tennessee Vols head football coach Phillip Fulmer took the podium to introduce the guest speaker, Dallas Cowboys tight end and former Vol Jason Wit-

ten. Witten and his wife, Michelle, are also philanthropists and founders of the SCORE Foundation, which provides support and assistance for families and individuals affected by domestic violence. Witten said he grew up in a family where domestic violence was part of life for his mother and older brothers until he moved to his grandparents’ home in Elizabethton. “That move brought my brothers and me full circle,” Witten told the sold-out crowd. “I went from living with an example of how not to be a father and

a man to an example of how to be one.” Receiving grants for 2015 were: ■ A Hand Up for Women ■ The Restoration House of East Tennessee ■ The Salvation Army ■ Boys and Girls Club of Elizabethton/Carter County ■ Branches of Monroe County Inc. ■ Centro Hispano ■ Red Legacy Recovery ■ STAND ■ Tusculum College

Silver and songs By Cindy Taylor The Silvertones, a senior group of singers and performers at Beaver Dam Baptist Church, have been making beautiful music for more than 20 years. The group began under the tutelage of music director Mike Bundon, and the musical tradition continues with the leadership of current director Ryan Flint. “We are off to a great start this year with several new members and our faithful regulars,� said Flint. “We have a great time every time we are together. I love the way they worship the Lord whether in reRyan Flint

hearsal or performing.� Flint says he is looking forward to taking the group to a Smokies game again this year since last year was such a blast. The choir performs as a part of Tune-Share, traveling around the Knoxville area to share their faith and energy. They have often performed the national anthem at Tennessee Smokies baseball games and will share their talents once again at the May 29 game. Flint will perform “God Bless America� during the seventh-inning stretch. The seniors will travel to First Baptist Church of Kingsport May 5 to participate in Tune-Share. “This will be the second Tune-Share event that I have been involved in with this group,� said Flint. “We are excited to meet and worship with other choirs.� New members are always welcome to join the group.

Adjusting out of Africa By Cindy Taylor Reid and Robin Beebe and their five sons, Mason, Franklin, Weston, Braden and adopted Ghanaian Godwin, served as missionaries with Feeding the Orphans (FTO) and Meaningful Life International for two years in Ghana, Africa. They had planned this as a lifelong commitment and sold all their possessions here before making the trip. Due to health issues with their oldest son, Mason, which occurred during a furlough here last summer, the family was advised that a move back to America was necessary. While this broke seven hearts, the family realized it was a necessary move. “We were fortunate to be in America when Mason suffered a partial lung collapse,� said Reid. “If we had been in Africa, the outcome could have been much different.�

The Beebe family: Franklin, Braden, Reid, Godwin, Robin and Weston. Not pictured is Mason. Photo by Cindy Taylor The family is in agreement on the hardest part of coming back. “The most difficult thing in going to Africa was leaving those we were close to,� said Reid. “The culture there was so different, it was hard to establish relationships on a deeper level

for a while.� “For me it was difficult being surrounded by so much physical need in Ghana,� said Robin. “Things we would see there are unimaginable here.� While moving back to the United States after living with harsh conditions in Af-

rica would seem to be a relief, the Beebes are finding much of the transition back to their past way of life difficult. They say that adjusting to a life where so many things are readily available isn’t that easy. The boys say it is sometimes difficult to relate to peers who have not had similar experiences. The couple continues to serve locally with FTO, where Reid volunteers as Director of Ministry Advancement. He has just finished overseeing the Forget the Frock fundraiser, the largest to benefit FTO. The campaign was based out of Heavens Presents screen printing in Powell. Owner Alex McCarty runs the shop and printed shirts for the fundraiser as

April is a mixture, for sure, “mixing memory and desire,� as Eliot said. It also is a mixture of emotions. In my family, with the passing of a whole generation, the January birthday frenzy has given way to an April birthday frenzy. My brother and his wife, one of my daughters, and my husband and his brother all have April birthdays. Lewis and I have a wedding anniversary in April, so there is a lot of April celebrating going on in our lives. The earth comes to life again (at least in our hemisphere), and jonquils are everywhere, along with redbuds and dogwoods. The very air is perfumed! But April showers carry their weight of sadness as well. In some ways, Eliot was right. The Civil War began (and ended) in April, four years apart. Lincoln was assassinated on April 14, five days after the war ended. The Ti-

Lynn Pitts

tanic sank on April 15, 1915, Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated on April 4, 1968. The Virginia Tech massacre was on April 16, 2007, and the Boston marathon bombing occurred on April 15, 2013. “Mixing memory,� Eliot wrote. That is a lot of memory to carry around, and it makes me ponder the wisdom of carrying such weight. And yet, I believe that even the burden of bad memories serves a purpose. “Remember the Alamo.� “Remember Pearl Harbor.� And last, but not least, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.�

well as offered his space for storage and shipping. Mason has had no further health issues and is looking at colleges once he graduates high school this year. The family members are all attempting to find their footing back in the States while continuing their mission to be a blessing. “Our hearts were in Gha-

na, but we are trying to be at peace with what God may have for us here,� said Robin. “Everyone who supports FTO and missionaries is doing ministry with us. We hope our boys will grow up and live a bit differently because they have seen God’s faithfulness.� Info: www.feedingthe orphans.org.

Crowe, Lively take risks onscreen By Betsy Pickle The four new movies opening this week seem like the calm before the storm: no superheroes, no car chases, no drug dealers. There will be violence – two of them are set during times of war – but don’t expect gangs or buckets of movie blood. “Ex Machina” opens Friday at Downtown West (please see review, at right). Opening in limited release is “The Water Diviner,” directed by first-timer Russell Crowe. Crowe plays an Australian farmer who travels to Turkey after the Battle of Gallipoli, in 1915, to find his three missing sons.

He also gets involved with a beautiful hotel manager. The movie won Best Film, Best Supporting Actor and Best Costume Design and was nominated for five other awards at the 2015 Australian Film Institute Awards. In “The Age of Adaline,” Blake Lively plays a woman born at the turn of the 20th century who stops aging at 29. After 80 years of not allowing herself to form close bonds with people she will outlive, she meets a handsome philanthropist (Michiel Huisman of “Game of Thrones”) who changes her philosophy and makes her want to take a huge risk.

Harrison Ford, Amanda Crew, Ellen Burstyn and Kathy Baker also star in the film directed by Lee Toland Krieger (“Celeste & Jesse Forever”). In the family film “Little Boy,” an 8-year-old (Jakob Salvati) desperately wishes for his father to come home from fighting in World War II, so he puts his faith to work. Alejandro Monteverde (“Bella”) directed the film, which stars Kevin James, Emily Watson, David Henrie, Ted Levine, Michael Rapaport, Eduardo Verastegui, Ben Chaplin, Tom Wilkinson and Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa.

Russell Crowe plays a man desperate to find out the fate of his sons in “The Water Diviner.”

Arancini with Tomato Jam By Mystery Diner If you like an adventure in dining, Holly Hambright is your ticket. This talented chef, who has expanded her catering business to now include restaurants, can do amazing things with ordinary ingredients and surprise you with some “exotics” (at least to East Tenne ssee tastes!). Ho l l y ’s Homberg is two restaurants in one. By day, the cozy establishment at 5032 Whittaker Drive (behind Nama on Kingston Pike) offers a salad/soup/sandwich menu that mirrors Holly’s 135, the new Gay Street restaurant. By night, however, Holly’s Homberg adds specials that excite the

palate. The menu frequently changes, but recent visits found Pork Carnitas, Seared Scallops with Asparagus and Leek Risotto and Scottish Salmon with Lentil de Puy as nightly specials. Bring your own wine. If there is nothing on the dinner menu, which begins at 5 p.m., to entice me, the Arancini with Tomato Jam is a staple on the appetizer menu and a real favorite. Arancini, which means “little oranges” in Italian, are croquettes filled with melted cheese and risotto. The tomato jam is lick-your-plate good, but, please, you’ve got a cloth napkin in your lap, so behave.

Farragut High School chorus to perform Haydn

■ Leroy Troy “The Tennessee Slicker,” 8 p.m. Laurel Theater, 1538 Laurel Ave. Tickets: $14, some discounts available. Info/ tickets: www.jubileearts.org.

By Carol Shane Knoxville blooms in the spring, not only botanically but also musically. So far we’ve had two major festivals – Big Ears and Rhythm N’ Blooms, and this coming weekend’s Rossini Festival, along with its attendant performances of Verdi’s “Il Trovatore” by the Knoxville Opera Company, marks a third. Of course, there are smaller but prestigious events taking place throughout the year. The dizzying array of musical choices in Knoxville is one of our greatest assets. Farragut High School chorus director Kenton Deitch has undertaken an ambitious project. On April 30, his chorus, in collaboration with members of the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra, will perform Franz Joseph Haydn’s “Mass in Time of War” at Central Baptist Church of Bearden. “I chose this piece because I do a major work every spring, and I alternate between a classic and a contemporary composition,” says Deitch. “Since we did a

contemporary last year, this fit the classical side. “The other reason is, it’s difficult but still accessible for high school students. It’s advanced enough that my students don’t get bored, and it’s something that we can perform well.” Scholars and fans know that Western classical music has its roots in religious music, and the mass has been front and center as one of the most fundamental and established formats in the genre. Every great composer wrote at least one. Haydn was deeply religious, and he wrote 14 masses. The “Mass in Time of War,” also known as the “Paukenmesse” or “Missa in tempore belli,” is his 10th and most popular setting. Which doesn’t mean it’s a walk in the park to learn and perform. “There have been numerous challenges for us as we’ve tackled this piece,” says Deitch. “The length of the work, for one thing. It’s a lot to learn, and it’s very taxing to sing for over 45 minutes straight.” The choristers are no strangers to

By Betsy Pickle The lineage of “Ex Machina” goes back to Steven Spielberg’s “A.I.,” Ridley Scott’s “Blade Runner” and even earlier films about non-human machines created in human form with aspirations to seem human. But there’s nothing old school about “Ex Machina,” which garnishes its storyline with characters like an Internet gazillionaire who lives in a remote mountain lair worthy of a Bond villain and an AI who looks like a young mash-up of Natalie Portman and Scarlett Johansson. Caleb (Domhnall Gleeson), a promising programmer at a huge search-engine company, wins a contest that earns him a weeklong visit at the highly secure home of his boss, Nathan (Oscar Isaac). After being choppered in, Caleb finds Nathan burning

Latin but, says Deitch, “this has a lot of Latin, and getting it to line up with notes and rhythms and still have feeling and emotion is quite challenging.” A performance of this type provides enrichment that will stay with these young singers all their lives. Deitch continues: “We’ve had many memorable moments during the learning process, but I’m reminded of one in particular. It was right before Easter break. We had finally gotten the notes and rhythms learned on a section, and we decided to try it. “Before we started, we talked about what we were singing, and compared the crucifi xion of Christ to the end of life that the people on Flight 9525 (the Germanwings airplane that crashed on March 24) experienced. We then started the section. As we kept going, the singers gained confidence from being accurate and thus started to put more emotion into what they were singing, and as the section came to an end we all sang our last note and enjoyed the silence

off calories after a late night of drinking. Nathan offers Caleb a chance to see his latest project – if he’ll sign a nondisclosure agreement – and of course Caleb accepts. Nathan has created an artificial intelligence being who is clearly more machine than human, but the human features – oh my. Caleb’s assignment is to give her the Turing test, to find out if she can convince him that she’s an intelligent being, not just a very special computer. Naturally it’s a she, since Caleb is young and full of hormones that will complicate his powers of perception. Her name is Ava (Alicia Vikander), and she’s pretty much Caleb’s dream girl, though he tries to disguise that fact by quizzing her in a brusque manner. He connects with her very quickly and seems open to her

that followed a job well done.” Haydn’s “Mass in Time of War” will be presented by the Farragut High School Chorus under the direction of Kenton Deitch, accompanied by members of the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra, at 7 p.m. Thursday, April 30, at Central Baptist Church of Bearden, 6300 Deane Hill Drive. Admission is free, and the public is invited. “I want to make sure people know,” says Deitch, “because it will be fabulous.”

Caleb (Domhnall Gleeson) studies earlier facades of artificial intelligence in “Ex Machina.”

warning that Nathan is lying to him and that she needs his help to escape. Nathan knows all – almost – thanks to cameras installed throughout the home/ research facility. Convenient power outages allow Ava and Caleb to talk privately. Meanwhile, Caleb is disturbed by the way Nathan treats both Ava and Kyoko (Sonoya Mizuno), his mute housekeeper, and he’s worried about the clock that’s ticking on Ava. “Ex Machina” is a sci-fi thriller that keeps you hooked throughout. The directing debut of novelist-turned-screenwriter Alex Garland (“28 Days Later”), the movie is visually minimalist by design, counting on the human – or not – elements to create a rich emotional atmosphere. Garland’s screenplay indulges at times in obviousness, but most of it is fresh and

intriguing, and it’s portrayed admirably by the four leads. Gleeson is perfect as the idealistic Caleb, but he’s understandably overshadowed by Vikander and Isaac. Vikander is note-perfect as the otherworldly beauty who’s either a damsel in distress or something not as sympathetic. Isaac – bulked up and hirsute – brings an unbalanced intensity to the hard-drinking mad-scientist role. The intentionally claustrophobic setting heightens the drama, as does the Philip Glass-like score by Geoff Barrow and Ben Salisbury. “Ex Machina” is the best kind of computer game – the kind that entertains as it makes viewers ponder the nature of humanity. Rated R for graphic nudity, language, sexual references and some violence.

Read sells products nationwide By Bonny C. Millard Sunny skies brought business owner and entrepreneur Dale Read to the South, and he’s learned over the years to weather the gray skies of economic downturns. That ability has allowed his company, Read Window Products Inc., to prosper. Earlier this year, the company moved to its largest facility yet: a 39,000-squarefoot building on Weisbrook Lane that houses offices and a production area. That’s a long way from his humble beginnings in a “fish shack� that served as his first warehouse. Read’s commercial drapery business makes custom drapes and window coverings such as blinds and va-

lances for the hospitality industry and for commercial markets including banks, hospitals and office buildings. The company has customers nationwide and in Dale Read the Caribbean Islands. Read, a soft-spoken man from rural Michigan, moved to Knoxville in 1977 as a sales rep for Kirsch, a drapery hardware manufacturer.

the production area, Read and workroom manager Ryan Toby explained the process of how drapes and other products are made. In the early days, the World’s Fair helped get Read’s business off the ground, and then the company started doing work for Fairfield Communities. “To this day, they’re still one of our best customers. It’s now owned by Wyndham (Hotels and Resorts), but we still do all their properties.�

Read Window hit rough patches when Fairfield filed for Chapter 11, and again when the economy took a downturn in 2008. But through it all, Read kept the business steady until the sun came back out. “We had continual growth until 2008, and we had several years of reversal, I guess you could call it that, but our last three years, we’ve been in a nice growth pattern again,� he said. “And we see that continuing.�

Polio still a threat By Bonny C. Millard Rotarians

across the globe have spent $1.3 billion to eradicate w o r ld w id e polio, a disease that the United States has eliminated, John Germ but the work is not done, Rotary International’s president-elect said. John Germ, who is a member of the Rotary Club of Chattanooga and is slated to become Rotary International president in 20162017, recently spoke to the Rotary Club of Knoxville and congratulated members for all the work they do. Germ said the recent outbreak in California of measles, a disease that had been eradicated in the U.S. in 2000, shows that those fighting against polio must be vigilant. “Another disease we did not have in the United States. It (the measles) came just like that. Polio is a plane ride away,â€? Germ said. “You know what I’m talking about when I tell you it is easy to transport that disease, that virus. You can’t check for it at security. ‌ We have to

finish our job.� Rotary started with $765,000 in 1979 to buy the polio vaccine and immunize children in the Philippines after a member read in Roy King Time magazine that smallpox had been eradicated. From those early days, when 1,000 cases of polio were reported daily in 125 countries, the disease has been limited to three countries reporting fewer than 25 cases among them, said Germ, who chairs the International PolioPlus Committee. “We are, in fact, this close to eradicating polio thanks to each and every one of you,� Germ said, holding his thumb and index finger close together. Rotary “is an organization that has dedicated its talents, its money and its efforts to provide a service to humanity,� he said. “I believe that Rotary is not a service club. It’s not a civic club. It’s an organization that’s involved with people. To me, Rotary is in the people business.�

Pick ’n’ Grin to close, move online By Libby Morgan

A 40-year-old business is closing at month’s end. No longer will we walk into Pick ’n’ Grin and feel the warmth of decades of camaraderie Tami Brewster and be surrounded by beautiful stringed works of art that, in talented hands, give us joyful sounds. Daughter and dad owners Tami and Bud Brewster have been trying hard to resist reality, “but you know … it is what it is,” says Tami. Maintaining a big store in a big building is expensive, and the low overhead in online sales just makes sense nowadays. When suppliers who had always honored Pick ’n’ Grin’s territory as exclusive eventually caved in to the big-box store just down the road, Pick ’n’ Grin attracted

Bud Brewster, Tami Brewster, Doug Cline and Rick Wolfe back in the day.

customers back from that self-service atmosphere with personal service and a true love for their friends. Bud was an original owner – along with Buddy Smothers (of Buddy’s Barb-q), Doug Cline (who is still a stockholder), Wayne Goforth and others – when Pick ’n’ Grin opened in 1975. Around 1980, Bud took over and along the way built the store a half-block off Kingston Pike on Gore Road in

Bearden. “We had great publicity and got successful enough to get Tami to open a store in Morristown for a short while. We brought her back. … It was better to be right here in one place,” says Bud. Tami did little to no paid advertising. When the Metro Pulse ran its “Best of Knoxville” contests, Pick ’n’ Grin won Best Music Store year after year, and their competition, which was

advertising heavily in the Pulse, complained mightily. So the Pulse, for lack of a better idea, simply deleted the category. The store saw some big stars: Leon Russell came in more than once. And the staff has saved some major Knoxville concerts by rushing an instrument or other equipment to a venue so the show could go on. For more than 20 years, customers were greeted by co-manager and luthier Rick Wolfe, who stood at his workbench in view of the front door, re-stringing instruments, “lowering the action” or installing pickups to “electrify” acoustic instruments. Everyone wanted Wolfe to be the one to lay hands on their instruments, so much so that he’d have guitars “stacked up like cordwood” awaiting his expert attention. On the wall facing his workbench, Wolfe posted

Reporters visit WBIR-TV By Sandra Clark Sarah Moore Greene Magnet Academy newspaper club members (above) “ham it up” with television camera operator Mr. Foxxy before being shown on TV for a fleeting moment during WBIR’s “Live at Five at Four.” April Lamb, magnet coordinator and teacher at SMG, formerly worked as a

reporter for WBIR-TV. Old friends welcomed her back and made the kids feel welcomed. Foxxy was a favorite. “That’s Foxxy with two x’s,” he said. “Got a first name?” we asked. “Make that Mr. Foxxy,” he said. Newspaper club members roared.

labels addressed to the store, precious keepsakes Tami intends to hold on to: “Pink and Green,” “Mr. Bud Green,” “Bud and Grin,” “Pick and Grind” and even “Attention: Diaper Bag Buyer.” Wolfe took delight in sharing each “joke du jour.” Some dark comedy at Pick ’n’ Grin: A newspaper clipping on a back wall told of a man in Ohio who bludgeoned his wife to death with a banjo. The first instrument broke, so he picked up a second one and finished the job. Humor has always prevailed at Pick ’n’ Grin. Once Tami entered a television producer’s contest to develop a sitcom based on the plethora of hilarious material that was an everyday staple. “We came close, but they wanted me to go to New Jersey and I couldn’t go,” says Tami. Pick ’n’ Grin has employed some characters. Nathan Fox, Matt Wilkerson, Detroit Dave Meer, Joe Dunn, Laith Keilany and many more lent their musical expertise, humor and friendliness to further the Pick ’n’ Grin legend. Fox and Wilkerson have popped in lately to help Tami with the crowds coming in for the closing sales. Matt Morelock was a pasty, skinny college kid when he started working

at the store back in the late ’90s. He rose to local stardom, opened his own music store on Gay Street and soon thereafter moved to paradise on a Hawaiian island. Rick Wolfe’s gone for good, though. He’s living in another paradise, sending good vibes down here and surely doing one of his favorite things: telling his trademark long, drawn-out jokes. His legend lives through the annual Wolfe Jam, put on by his friends since his death in 2007 to raise money for the Joy of Music School, where underprivileged kids get free music lessons. Music teachers Larry Long, Ed Wing, Laith Keilany, Kyle Campbell, Chip Howard, Tim Worman, Ben Maney, Jeff Jenkins and Ed Roberson will carry on their classes upstairs after the store closes. “Our flyer says our last day was going to be April 25, but now we see we’ll be able to stay open until at least May 1. Hours are Thursday, Friday and Saturday 10-5 and 1-5 on Sunday. Stelling banjos, Martins, Taylors and most of the instruments are half off retail, with serious discounts on everything else,” says Tami.

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

After thyroid cancer scare, Englewood man keeps his voice and life Mike Williams of Englewood, 63, uses his voice constantly in his job as director of employee communications and development at Heil Trailor International Co. “Not only for that, but I’m a minister (at Liberty Hill Church of Christ) as well,” said Williams. “Pretty much my life is built around my voice.” This fall, both Williams’ voice and health were on the line when he was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. “I had a lump on the side of my neck that my dermatologist thought perhaps was just a fatty tumor. But I have a little history of melanoma, so to be on the safe side, he said he’d go ahead and get that out,” said Williams. But the dermatologist quickly realized the lump was something more and referred Williams to Dr. Michael Kropilak and Dr. Troy Kimsey, who specialize in endocrine procedures at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center. The endocrine system includes glands like the thyroid and parathyroids, located in the neck. After undergoing a number of tests, including a biopsy and ultrasound,

In November at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center, Mike Williams had surgery to treat his thyroid cancer. The 63-year-old is now back home after a successful procedure by Dr. Michael Kropilak and Dr. Troy Kimsey.

Williams was diagnosed with thyroid cancer, which affects nearly 60,000 adults each year in the United States. “All the bad things we thought it could be, it was not,” said Williams. “It was not lymphoma, not melanoma, but it did turn

out to have some papillary cells,” which is an indication of thyroid cancer. Thyroid cancer is one of the most treatable forms of cancer, although surgery on the neck can involve a long incision and requires an experienced surgeon.

Endocrine services at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center offers the latest and most comprehensive care available for a wide range of endocrine diseases affecting the thyroid, parathyroid and adrenal glands. From biopsies to more extensive surgeries, Drs. Michael Kro- Michael Kropilak, pilak and Troy Kimsey MD work as a team at Fort Sanders, consulting on cases and assisting each other with complicated surgeries to provide the highest level of care available. Dr. Michael Kropilak went to Hahnemann Medical College in Philadelphia and did a residence in general surgery at The Cleveland Clinic. He is board certified

in general and vascular surgery through the American Board of Surgery and is a fellow in the American College of Surgeons. He was named one of Knoxville Cityview Magazine’s “Top Docs” in 2014. Dr. Troy Kimsey is a graduate of the Medical College of Georgia, Troy Kimsey, MD completed residency in general surgery there, and a fellowship in surgical oncology at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. He is board certified in general surgery and is a fellow in the American College of Surgeons. For more information about the services at Fort Sanders Regional, call 673FORT or visit www.fsregional.com.

“This kind of surgery is extensive,” said Kropilak. “It’s a difficult surgery, which is why it’s important to have surgeons working together, to provide care for these kinds of complicated cases.” On Nov. 5, Kropilak and Kimsey worked together to remove Williams’ thyroid gland and nearly four dozen lymph nodes. The surgery required a long incision, stretching from Williams’ left shoulder blade to the center of his neck. Williams said that despite this, he only stayed one night at Fort Sanders and was able to go home the next day. “The care was excellent, the staff is good and they were constantly very proactive, checking with me about what my needs were,” Williams said. “Everything went just fine. “My neck’s a little stiff, but I’m getting more and more movement with it,” Williams said. “In the beginning my voice was affected; it was weak, but it’s a whole lot better now and is pretty much back to normal,” he said. “I was very relieved that even though they did all that around my neck, it

didn’t seem to have a lasting effect on my voice.” Williams underwent one follow-up treatment with radioactive iodine to eliminate any remaining cancer cells in his body. The thyroid absorbs iodine, so any remaining thyroid cancer cells in his body will absorb the radiation and be destroyed, without affecting the rest of his body. “I was radioactive for Christmas,” said Williams, with a laugh. This treatment means he should not be around pregnant women and young children for 10 days. Williams has 21 grandchildren and one on the way. “So I quarantined myself. Which is really more of a concern for my wife,” he said with a laugh. “I appreciate everything everyone at Fort Sanders has done,” Williams said. “Everybody has been so professional, and both myself and my wife, we just felt like everyone was real supportive. “I wouldn’t want anyone to go through that, but if you’re going to, Fort Sanders has proven to be a great place to go through it.”

Thyroid cancer: What you should know Thyroid cancer begins in your thyroid gland, which is located in your neck. The thyroid gland is found under your Adam’s apple and above your collarbone. You usually are not able to see or feel your thyroid. It faces the front, but it’s underneath your skin. It’s shaped like a butterfly, with two lobes (a right and left lobe) connected by a bridge of tissue, called the isthmus. Statistics from the American Cancer Society regarding thyroid cancer: ■ Doctors will diagnose about 56,460 new cases of thyroid cancer. ■ Thyroid cancer occurs more often in women. Three in four cases occur in women. ■ About 43,210 cases of new thyroid cancers will be diagnosed in women. The other 13,250 will be found in men. ■ Thyroid cancer rates have risen sharply in recent years. It is the fastest-increasing cancer in both men and women. ■ Thyroid cancer has a 97 percent survival rate at the five-year mark. This means that out of every 100 people treated for thyroid cancer, 97 of them will be alive five years after treatment. Survival, however, is affected by many factors, including stage at diagnosis, the subtype of cancer and patient age. ■ About 1,000 women and 780 men will die of thyroid cancer every year.

Three common thyroid problems Your thyroid is a tiny, butterfly-shaped gland that controls your body’s energy level. A problem with your thyroid affects your metabolism. Here are three common thyroid issues: ■ Hypothyroidism: Your thyroid gland is underactive and doesn’t produce enough hormones. Common symptoms are fatigue; feeling cold; slowed thinking; weight gain; muscle pain; brittle hair, skin and nails; and feeling depressed.

■ Hyperthyroidism: Your thyroid gland is overactive and produces too many hormones. Common symptoms are nervousness, irritability, feeling hot, rapid heartbeat, eye problems, weight loss and hair loss. ■ Nodules: Nodules are growths of tissue in the thyroid gland. Many times nodules do not cause symptoms or affect the production of thyroid hormone. Around 95 percent of the time, nodules are not cancerous.

CENTER OF EXCELLENCE: ONCOLOGY Fort Sanders Regional and Thompson Cancer Survival Center provide the region’s most comprehensive cancer care. From diagnosis to treatment to rehabilitation, we offer care options not available anywhere else in our region. Working together to provide the best patient care that’s Regional Excellence!
