It was a good bowl game There are good bowl games and bad bowl games and some that are irrelevant. Now and then one becomes far more meaningful than an ordinary bowl should be. This wasn’t Tempe 16 years ago. This wasn’t part of the new national playoff. It was just the TaxSlayer (Gator) Bowl, but it was really big for the Volunteers. It was double or nothing.

‘Inherent Vice’ Betsy Pickle reviews “Inherent Vice” and “Selma.” About the first she writes, “Joaquin Phoenix would seem the perfect actor to play a stoner private eye in a ’70s-set mystery, and in many ways he is the right man for the job in “Inherent Vice.” But the twist on film noir – “Chinatown” with hippies – never feels comfortable in its own skin.”

Making their mark American Heritage Herritage Girls got a good start in East Tennessee By Sara Barrett When high school freshman Laken Scott was in kindergarten at Knoxville Christian School, her mother, Amy Hamby-Scott, was approached by the principal to start a troop of American Heritage Girls. Hamby-Scott hesitated. “At that time, I didn’t feel confident about it,” she says. “I didn’t know what it was about.” American Heritage Girls is a national, faith-based organization that offers activities similar to scouting. Hamby-Scott and Laken got some up-close experience with the group by participating in a troop at St. John Neumann Catholic School. Soon, both mother and daughter were hooked. Hamby-Scott then started the second American Heritage Girls troop in Knox County. Since then, four other troops have been formed in East Tennessee. The national organization is going strong and will celebrate its 20th anniversary this year. “Our focus is on faith and service,” says Hamby-Scott of the group. Fun comes pretty close to the top of the list. Girls can earn 80 different badges based on everything from operating a computer to space exploration to money management. Hamby-Scott explains that American Heritage Girls was founded by moms who had been involved with Girl Scouts. The main difference in the two organizations is American Heritage’s
emphasis of growing spiritually in addition to other aspects of life. “I like meeting new friends,” says Laken. “Even though we’re not all part of the same denomination, we can talk about the differences and learn from each other.” She plans to continue participating with the troop throughout high school. Her favorite activity is teaching the younger members during summer camp. “Laken is not at all concerned about standing up and talking in front of a group,” says her mother. “She is a leader. She gets the job done, and she learned those skills from American Heritage Girls.” Hamby-Scott has passed the role of troop coordinator to another volunteer, but says she would like to see other chapters start up in this area. Her husband, Don, is a leader in Trail Life USA, an organization that started a year ago and is similar to the Boy Scouts of America. Their 10-year-old son,

‘Selma’ movie, panel kick off city’s civil rights celebration
Rights march changed a nation – and a minister’s life By Bill Dockery Four Knoxville veterans of the civil rights movement will gather for a special public screening of the new movie “Selma” as the city of Knoxville opens its celebration of the 50th anniversary of passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The celebration is called “Let Us March on Ballot Boxes,” and the program will begin at 3 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 10, at Regal Cinemas Pinnacle Turkey Creek with the four civil rights leaders reflecting on the struggle for voting rights. “Selma” is winning praise for its portrayal of Martin Luther King Jr. and for its astute re-creation of the politics and personalities of the civil rights campaign. “We encourage everyone to buy tickets in advance,” said Joshalyn Hundley, city coordinator of the program. Tickets for the PG-13 film are $8 for adults and $7.50 for children and seniors. KAT buses will provide transportation from the Civic Coliseum to

KARNS/HARDIN VALLEY Shopper news • JANUARY 7, 2015 • A-3
Remember when… By Nancy Anderson Community newspapers are the heartbeat of journalism. Publications like the Shopper-News are all about you and your neighbors, bringing you stories you won’t find anywhere else. If someone were to ask you about the Karns and Hardin Valley area, what would you say? When we ask, we hear about the people. Our communities are a blending of those who have been here for generations and those who are just getting to know and appreciate what this corner of Knox County has to offer. Neighbors and neighborhoods are still important here, and life is lived out daily in our community centers, ball fields, churches, schools and clubs. We’ve enjoyed working with Karns and Hardin Valley residents and businesses
‘Selma’ movie
Karns lost a bright star. William Dean McKamey died at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis following a football practice. According to the McKamey Facebook page, the motto “Live Like Will” continues to spread across the nation.

tin Luther King Jr. and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. With a fresh master’s in divinity from Tufts University and only 25 years old, Gibson headed to Selma without a clear sense of what was at stake personally or nationally. “Don’t go to Selma unless it’s more important that you go than that you come back,” one denomination official warned him. That shocked Gibson and his wife, Judy – also a minister – into having their wills written. “In retrospect, I was thinking only a fraction of what I should have been thinking,” Gibson said. “I didn’t have a good grasp of all the issues around me. “I went to Selma with an observer mentality. It took me a while to overcome that mentality and figure out that the local people weren’t just observing – they were putting everything on the line. If they went down to the courthouse, they were risking being arrested, beaten, fired from their job, evicted from their house or even being run out of town.” Gibson didn’t have to wait long to find out the cost of involvement. While standing on the steps of the Dallas County courthouse watching a voter-drive demonstration, Gibson and fellow minister Ira Blalock were arrested and jailed for five days. When they were released on Feb. 15, Martin Luther King Jr. was there to meet them. Days later, after Gibson had returned to Massachusetts, the Bloody Sunday confrontation took place at the Pettus Bridge in Selma, and

over the past years and look forward to a great adventure in 2015.
The painting of the underpass stirred up feelings with current students and alums of Karns High School this year, with alumni leading the charge to reclaim the underpass as a way to show spirit without profanity.
Officials broke ground on the new Karns Senior Center. From left are Knox County Commission chair Brad Anders, Knox County Veterans Service Officer Buzz Buswell and Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett.
From page A-1 the voting rights march to Montgomery followed. That summer, the Voting Rights Act was passed by Congress and signed into law by President Lyndon Johnson. “What I did did not change the world,” Gibson said of those days. “Sadly, we were newsworthy – two white ministers jailed in Selma …” when the jailing of black civil rights advocates had hardly drawn media attention. “My presence may not have changed anything about the Selma campaign, but it certainly changed me,” he said. “I became less trusting of those in authority, and I insist on a higher standard of proof now than I would have then.” Gibson would go on to serve almost 20 years in UU churches around Jackson, Miss., working in federal poverty programs there. The couple retired from their Unitarian Universalist ministry in Elkhart, Ind., and moved to Knoxville in 2005. Gibson has become an expert on his denomination’s history in the South, especially as it involves civil rights. In mid-February, Skinner House will release his book “Southern Witness: Unitarians and Universalists in the Civil Rights Era.” The Gibsons also lead spring bus pilgrimages to civil rights landmarks like Selma, Montgomery and other Southern sites where history was made. “I do it only because it messes with people’s minds,” he said. “I’ve seen more change from the seven-day pilgrimage than from 40 years’ worth of sermons.”

look, ticket sales and August preparation. Are the Vols really back? We’ll see. We know they are better than they were. The 42-7 part was the best the team has played in five years. This was an extra-large brick in the Butch Jones construction project. Now we can identify some of the stuff the coach has been talking about. The culture has changed. The outlook
Congress Inc. U.S. Rep. John J. “Jimmy” Duncan Jr. hasn’t occupied center stage in Tennessee’s 2nd Congressional District for 26 years without connecting to his audience, as he demonstrates in his recent “Washington Report.” Unlike Comedy Central’s “Colbert Report,” the “t” in Duncan’s mailer is enunciated. However, it does compare to Colbert in sheer zaniness. Duncan wastes no time getting off a zinger. After noting the Republican majority in both chambers taking effect in January, he brings down the house with this one-liner: “I hope the next Congress will be more business-friendly and profree enterprise.” Be honest, now. Who among you hasn’t shed a tear for BP, IBM or Citigroup
Larry Van Guilder
as you think of those gallant corporations trying to surmount the obstacles thrown in their path by Congress? Only yesterday I saw a senior citizen in a self-checkout lane at Food City weeping over her Ramen noodles and Friskies cat food paté. When I asked what was troubling her, she choked out one word: “Exxon.” I knew she was referring to the struggles of ExxonMobil and its Big Oil compatriots (BP, Shell, Chevron and ConocoPhillips) to survive with only $2.4 billion in annual tax breaks to di-
has switched to positive. Talent is developing. Nineteen starters are projected to return. Better days are out there. Flip it around and think what a loss would have meant. It would have been deadly – a five-year losing streak. The Jones balloon would have lost a lot of air. Just guessing, but Tennessee probably wanted to be in Jacksonville more than Iowa did. The Gator Bowl was one notch up from what the Vols deserved. It was one down from what the Hawkeyes thought of themselves. Tennessee fought like crazy to earn a bowl bid. Iowa staggered in below ex-
pectations. Attitude is very significant when you have a month to improve or to fret about what might have been. Attitude may have been the winning edge. Speed helped. The 321 first-half yards were truly spectacular. Many football games are very much alike – 21-14, 3520, 10-7. One team or the other makes a big play or a major mistake. We file the result as a win or loss and move on. Now and then, there is something different, a surprise, a reason to remember. This time, Tennessee fans made the Vol Walk feel like a home game. The checkerboard end zone helped.
vide. Worse yet, their 2013 profits were an embarrassing $93 billion. The latest budgets for the states of Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia and Mississippi combined are a shade over $86 billion. Budget problems, at least for these states, could be solved by selling out to the oil and gas industry. (Never mind: With fracking on the rise all over the South, the sellout is already underway.) If Congress’ largesse to the oil industry doesn’t support Duncan’s view that a more business-friendly Congress is in order, there must be other examples of how our elected representatives spurn business. Well … In 2014, federal candidates for office showed their disdain for the pharmaceutical business by accepting only $16 million in contributions from the industry’s PACs. According to OpenSecrets.org, between 1998 and
2012, pharmaceutical lobbyists sweetened the pot by lavishing $2.6 billion on lawmakers. If you’re wondering what the industry gets for its money, you haven’t filled a brand-name drug prescription lately. U.S. consumers pay more for prescription drugs than their foreign counterparts because Congress will not pass legislation limiting price increases while allowing exclusive rights to manufacture a drug for as long as 20 years. In 2006, Medicare expanded to include a prescription drug benefit, and pharmaceutical lobbyists went to work on their buddies in Congress. Medicare, one of the largest healthinsurance programs in the world, would not be allowed to negotiate lower prices with drug makers. As Wendell Potter, a former insurance executive, pointed out in a 2013 article for the Center for Public Integrity, “So not only
Seeing that reminded me of a fun day, Dec. 30, 1994, Ben Hill Griffin Stadium in Gainesville. It was the 50th Gator Bowl, Tennessee against Virginia Tech, played in the swamp because of stadium renovations in Jacksonville. Tennessee fans were treated to the trademark checkerboard in the north end zone. The effect was surreal – orange and white checks on Florida’s ho me field. Think about it. Pat Haden, once a Southern Cal quarterback, now the athletic director, was part of the TV team. He said Steve Spurrier had troubling thoughts about Vol squares painted on his grass. “I was talking to the groundskeeper before the game,” Haden said. The groundskeeper said Spurrier told him there
were recruits coming soon and that he wanted all traces of that dreadful (he used a more colorful word) checkerboard long gone before then. As said at the beginning, some bowls are meaningless. Some are insightful. They foretell things to come. The 1994 Gator Bowl victory provided a glimpse of what was to be, a magnificent run of 45 Tennessee victories in 50 games. In that 1994 Gator Bowl, the Vols scored 35 in the first half. They did it again against Iowa. Wouldn’t it be exciting if this first-half romp turns into what Joshua Dobbs said, the start of something big? Do you suppose there is any connection to the checkerboard in the end zone?
did drug makers get a huge new revenue stream from taxpayers, but they pulled a fast one on us.” If Congress becomes any
more “business-friendly,” it will have to incorporate. Fortunately, it has 139 lawyer- and law-firm PACs from which to choose counsel.

All quiet on the ’15 front distractions of running a political campaign. (Note: The job of monitoring the General Assembly could be easier this year with the departure of Stacey Campfield, who was generally unfriendly to city concerns and elevated antieminent-domain measures to the level of a religious crusade.) Sources close to the mayor also discount the persistent rumor that she will be offered (and will take) a job in the administration of Hillary Clinton, should Clinton be elected president in 2016. Members at large George Wallace, Marshall Stair and Finbarr Saunders, along with District 5 council member Mark Campen, will stand for re-election this year, cementing the reality that limiting elected officials to two consecutive terms has created de facto eight-year terms. Those who follow city politics are filling the lack of drama around the 2015 elections with longer-term speculation – who will succeed Rogero? If past is prologue, the field will be crowded. A candidate or two will likely emerge from the business community, and, as observed above, several members of City Council are believed to be eyeing a run – most notably Vice Mayor Nick Pavlis, who has not only met regularly with his South Knoxville constituents, but also has attended neighborhood meetings all over town. “Nick Pavlis for mayor?” Pavlis asked, as though surprised to be asked. “No. 1, it’s very flattering. I’ve been around a long time, been elected four times and I’ve got a lot of work ahead of me yet. “It’s not something I’d rule out, but it’s so far down the line – four years is an eternity in politics. But I obviously have worked hard, and it would be a great culmination to my career.”

Old-world print captures message of sermon series By Wendy Smith A two-year sermon series is long by anyone’s standards. But a beautiful Christmas gift given to each family who participated at Fellowship Church should help them remember their journey through the book of John. The sermon series is called “Live, A Study in the Book of John: Everyday People, Everyday Life.” Communications Pastor Erik Chandler says the staff wanted members to have something tangible to help them remember what they learned from the series, which started last fall. They decided to take advantage of the abundance of artistic talent in the congregation by commissioning a series of four prints that will each reflect a section of the series. The idea of a physical reminder of teaching echoes a passage in Deuteronomy that directs the children of God to remember his commands by “writing them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates,” Chandler says. Sarah Pattison, who coowns The Happy Envelope with her husband, Ty Pattison, was the first artist to produce a print for the “Live” series. The couple met at the University of Tennessee while Sarah was working on a degree in graphic design. When Sarah started the business 12 years ago, she primarily sold stationery wholesale to paper companies. When the economy turned, many of the companies folded. That’s when Ty, a former Young Life staff member, decided to learn a new trade − letterpress printing. Sarah listened intently and took notes to find her inspiration for the print, but she ultimately selected one quote from Lead Pastor Rick Dunn that summed up what she’d learned: “Who you are, and who you are not, is uniquely designed to offer Christ’s life to the world. How you are gifted − and how you are not gifted − this is designed for how you’re to make Christ known to the world. What you possess and what you
faith Questions
do not possess is uniquely designed to make him known. What you can do and what you cannot do is his design to make himself known through you. You are uniquely designed to offer Christ and it is your lack (who you are not, what you don’t possess, what you can’t do) that is the most powerful part of the story. That’s the gospel.” Her design, printed one sheet at a time on a Vandercook cylinder press, was an instant hit. After copies of the 8-by-10-inch print were distributed at church, a second press run was required to meet additional demand. A PDF file of the design is also available on its website, www.fellowshipknox.org. The print has obvious visual appeal. Sarah’s talent for creating designs using multiple typefaces and flourishes matches perfectly with the old-world charm created by letterpressing. But the staff was still overwhelmed by the print’s popularity. “We didn’t know what the response would be. We were surprised by the attachment people had to them,” says Chandler. The Happy Envelope is selling the prints at the store, 310 W. Jackson Ave., and online at www.thehappyenvelope.com. All proceeds will go toward Fellowship’s mission programs.
Unanswered questions or unquestioned answers? Which do you believe to be more dangerous? In myy judgment, the more dangerr-ous of the two is “unquesstioned answers.” I’m convinced that in n and out of the church, many have grown lazy and content with someone else doing their study for them. Can you imagine an adult man literally being spoonfed by his wife because he’s too lazy to pick up a fork and feed himself? Preposterous! Yet how many grown adults allow their parents, Ty Pattison demonstrates the Vandercook cylinder press their preachers, their spousthat was used to print a poster designed by his wife, Sarah es, their Bible class teachers, Pattison.

Steve Higginbotham “inquiring minds want to know.” We need to be more like those noble Bereans who “searched the Scriptures daily” to determine the truthfulness of what they were being taught. In other words, they weren’t content with unquestioned answers. Let’s be sure that we haven’t been guilty of accepting answers to life’s most important matters, without questioning. May we all have the desire to be better students of the Bible, and may God help us to have the courage to follow our studied convictions!

Lighting up the New Year By Nancy Anderson Have you ever wondered if there was something else to do on New Year’s Eve other than the standard party with hats, noisemakers and perhaps more than one adult beverage? Knoxville Christian Center has been providing an alternative for 20 years with its annual New Year’s Eve Concert. The event brings in top-tier entertainment to partner with an intimate candlelight service, says promotions director Nancy Zeigler. To welcome 2015, Guy Penrod, a Grammy and Dove winner who was the lead singer for the Gaither Vocal Band for 14 years, was the entertainer. Penrod brought songs and stories and a message of encouragement. He told the concert attendees about his life and family and experiences as a gospel singer. He said he enjoys getting the chance to perform in some of the smaller venues because of the intimacy with
the audience. “I like to know that I’m making an impact, so it’s gratifying to see smiling faces enjoying themselves or contemplating the message,” said Penrod. “I have more time to meet with folks one-on-one, and that means a lot to me.” Self-proclaimed mega fan Sandy Barnes, who has cerebral palsy, got the opportunity to hold hands and pray with Penrod. She said meeting her hero was a high point in her life. Penrod shared one of his favorite quotes with the audience: “I heard this saying from French philosopher Pierre Teilhard de Chardin: ‘We are not physical beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a physical experience.’ It’s a great quote, and it’s the truth. There’s more to this existence than what we see and feel and touch, so it’s important to surround yourself with people who feed your spirit with love, encouragement and truth. God’s love is truth.”

Movies and Middle Ages By Sandra Clark The newspaper club at Sarah Moore Greene Magnet Academy got a treat when Ted Hatfield came to visit. Teacher April Lamb even rolled out the school’s red carpet. “There are two people who live around here who can vote in the Academy Awards,” said Hatfield, “and I’m probably the only one you’ll ever meet.” The other: Dolly Parton.
Hatfield works as film marketing director for Regal Entertainment Group based in Halls. He’s also one of 66 members of the Republican state executive committee. Regal Entertainment operates 575 theaters with over 7,000 screens, Hatfield said. That’s a huge company to be based in Knox County.

cided it would be more fun to work at the theater than carry newspapers. Hatfield held every job from tickets to usher to concessions. He was a theater manager and then district manager. After a stint in New York City, he joined MGM in Los Angeles – “a city within a city with more stars than there are in the heavens.” His job was to arrange premieres and work with local media to promote movies and MGM’s stars. He traveled with many big-name stars. Luckily, he
saved those stories for another time (and audience). “Regal looks for computer-trained, college-educated employees, but we also hire students,” he said. He encouraged students to look for internships in the industry. And he mentioned he was a judge for last year’s Dogwood Arts local moviemaking competition. Hatfield showed a ballot for last year’s Oscars, but the kids were most impressed with his Oscar card. As a voting member of the Academy, he gets free admission to any theater to see any film. Before he left, the kids filed by to touch the Oscar card.
If you’ve been to a sporting event at Farragut High School, you’ve probably seen the mascot Admiral Dave walking around, a giant plush head on a human’s body. The sight is surprisingly disappointing, however, because of the poor physical condition of the costume. Admiral Dave has had the same suit the past 16 years, and it’s showing its age. “Admiral Dave is very soiled and even threadbare in some areas,” said FHS leadership student Austin Hoag. “His appearance is anything but a morale booster; his overall state is quite depressing. To further encourage school and community spirit, our class would like to replace the existing uniform.” The fundraiser is part of the leadership class’ semester project. It will cost $6,000 to replace the costume, and students are turning to local businesses for help. There are four different levels of sponsorship, and donors’ names or logos will be
printed on the back of “Support Admiral Dave” T-shirts to be sold at future sporting events. The four levels of support are Lieutenant ($50), Commander ($125), Captain ($250) and Admiral ($500). All donations are appreciated, though, and individuals can make a big difference with any amount, which when put together can have a big impact. To make a donation, visit www.gofundme.com/he7ado or contact Austin at austinhoag456@gmail.com.

Food for FISH
West Hills Elementary School teacher Kathy Upton said students learned about sharing during the first part of December, but not just as part of their lesson plan. For two weeks, students collected food donations to give to FISH Hospitality food pantry. Upton and other members of the school faculty volunteer as the family engagement
team and help organize the drive. “Our students are always so generous and so kind during the event,” said Upton. FISH volunteer Shirley Harrison picks up food donations at 17 schools around the county, and said schools always give a good variety of food, which is helpful since recipients at the food pantry are able to pick what they’d like instead of having to take what is available.

Her husband, Zac, is known as Brewer, a name that suggests his ancestors’ craft. Zac let the kids try on helmets and hold a sword of the type used in simulated combat. He talked about production methods of blending iron with alloys to make lighter-weight yet still protective armor. He said his older brother got him hooked on SCA by taking him to an event.

KUB’s PACE 10: ‘on time and on budget’ By Sandra Clark
Rotary toasts New Year’s Eve By Bonnie Millard The Unicum toast on New Year’s Eve by the Rotary Club of Knoxville is a testament of lasting international friendships that started 20 years ago. Downtown Rotary Club members and their guests met at Naples Italian Restaurant for the 12th annual gathering of the International Unicum Society to honor the Mátészalka (Hungary) Rotary Club and the Knysna (South Africa) Rotary Club. At 6 p.m., when Mátészalka was ushering in 2015 at midnight, society cochair Townes Osborn offered a toast with Unicum, a Hungarian national liqueur. The Hungarian Rotarians offered a similar salute with Jack Daniel’s. A short time later, the local Rotarians made a second toast to Knysna with Amarula, a South African liqueur. Osborn explained to the group of about 40 people that being a member of the society is a simple matter: toasting with Unicum. Photos are emailed to Hungarian members. The society has no special obligations, but each member’s name is
International Unicum Society co-chairs Jim Cundall and Townes Osborn lead the toast. Cundall’s wife, Nancy, is seated. placed on a website. However, the toast is more than a symbolic gesture. It celebrates the deep connection with Mátészalka and Knysna, which Osborn said are “Twin Clubs” with RCK, meaning the organizations work closely together on many projects. The association with Mátészalka started 20 years ago when Osborn, who has
been to Hungary 20 times, traveled there with other Knoxville Rotarians. Jim Cundall, society co-chair, said RCK raised funds for a children’s camp. In 1999, they organized a bike ride from Budapest to Mátészalka, a trip of about 170 miles, he said. At every stop, the riders toasted with Unicum. Osborn said in addition to the projects, the two
clubs have had summer exchange programs for their children. Building friendships promotes peace in the world, she added. “I see the world without boundaries,” Osborn said. “There are more similarities in the world than there are differences …. Our relationships are deep and nurturing because we’ve accomplished things together.”
Knoxville Utilities Board told customers in 2004 to expect rates to triple over 10 years as the utility picked up the pace on sewer system improvements to comply with a federal consent decree. With 2014 ended, how has that worked out? KUB has reduced sewer overflows by 75 percent, according to Bill Elmore, executive vice president and chief operating officer. And while rates have soared, they’ve not reached the 200 percent increase originally projected. Elmore says KUB’s typical residential customer (500 cubic feet of usage or 3,750 gallons) pays $50.50 per month for sewer. That’s because customers have reduced usage and installed more waterefficient fi xtures. “If water usage was at the higher level anticipated in the five-year report (600 cubic feet), today’s bill would be $59.20,” said Elmore. For that investment, KUB has completed 134 projects totaling $530 million on time and on budget under a program it named PACE 10. Another $45 million is needed to completely satisfy the consent decree, Elmore said. Approximately $70 million went toward enhancements to the wet weather treatment systems at the

Kuwahee and Fourth Creek plants; however, the bulk of the work was directed at the collection system. Six wet weather storage tanks were constructed (34 million gallon capacity), 275 miles of pipe were rehabilitated or replaced (approximately 20 percent of the system), and nearly 7,000 manholes replaced (of 30,000 systemwide). “KUB will continue its collection system rehabilitation/replacement program at a rate of 2 percent per year but will do so under the Century II program that addresses infrastructure improvements for each of our four utility systems,” said Elmore. To satisfy the consent decree, KUB must complete wastewater plant upgrades at Fourth Creek (deadline mid-2018) and Kuwahee (mid-2021). “These improvements will upgrade the … systems to full biological treatment, said Elmore. He estimates the cost at $45 million (today’s dollars). But is the juice worth the squeeze? Stay tuned.

‘Inherent Vice’ stays in a haze Joaquin Phoenix would seem the perfect actor to play a stoner private eye in a ’70s-set mystery, and in many ways he is the right man for the job in “Inherent Vice.” But the twist on film noir – “Chinatown” with hippies – never feels comfortable in its own skin.
Ralph Abernathy (Colman Domingo), Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (David Oyelowo), Andrew Young (Andre Holland) and John Lewis (Stephan James) press forward in their quest to obtain equal voting rights in “Selma.”
‘Selma’ tops week of big movies By Betsy Pickle Early January is when studios start spreading out the films they opened in New York and Los Angeles for Oscar consideration in late December. That’s the case with a couple of movies this week, “Selma” and “Inherent Vice” (see review, this page). “Selma” (which the Shopper was unable to screen before deadline) arrives on a wave of positive buzz. Director Ava DuVernay’s film tells the story of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s campaign to secure equal voting rights for African-Americans in 1965, despite an overwhelming amount of violent opposition. The historic march from Selma to Montgomery, Ala., was the straw that broke the camel’s back, leading President Lyndon Baines Johnson to sign the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
Rising star David Oyelowo (“Interstellar,” “A Most Violent Year”) plays King, with Tom Wilkinson as LBJ. The cast also includes Giovanni Ribisi, Tim Roth, Cuba Gooding Jr., Carmen Ejogo, Lorraine Toussaint, Common, Martin Sheen, Alessandro Nivola, Dylan Baker and Oprah Winfrey. The indestructible Liam Neeson returns for a (supposedly) final outing as ex-covert operative Bryan Mills in “Taken 3.” Accused of a vicious murder, Mills must fight to clear his name and protect the only thing that still matters to him. Starring with Neeson are Forest Whitaker, Maggie Grace, Famke Janssen, Dougray Scott, Jon Gries and Leland Orser. Screenwriters Luc Besson and Robert Mark Kamen complete the trilogy they started with 2008’s “Taken.”
Betsy Pickle Deputy D.A. Penny Kimball (Reese Witherspoon) lets boyfriend and private eye Larry “Doc” Sportello (Joaquin Phoenix) explain his case in “Inherent Vice.” Director Paul Thomas Anderson adapted Thomas Pynchon’s novel about Larry “Doc” Sportello (Phoenix) and his misadventures as he makes his way through L.A.’s seedy sections and shiny corridors. It’s a long, strange trip with only occasional humor. It feels as though there ought to be more in the laugh-inducing department. The film is a study in absurdity, though the offbeat surface covers a disturbing underbelly. Doc lives the laidback
life at Gordita Beach, enjoying his herb (which he also sells) and working when he has to. When his former girlfriend, Shasta Fay Hepworth (Katherine Waterston), shows up asking for help, he can’t refuse. Shasta is now the mistress of a big-time developer who has disappeared, and she asks Doc to track him down. To do so, Doc winds his way through massage parlors and pricey dental
offices, through bungalows and private sanitariums. Along the way, he picks up some side missions, including tracking down a musician (Owen Wilson) who may or may not be dead and whose rehabbed wife (Jena Malone) is frantic. The film’s characters are a weird and colorful bunch, beginning with Doc. Aside from his handling of illicit drugs, he seems to be the purest and most ethical one
in the bunch. Josh Brolin is delightfully but dangerously wacky as Lt. Det. Christian F. “Bigfoot” Bjornsen, one of L.A.’s finest. He steamrolls over civil liberties with abandon – when he’s not working as an extra on cop shows. Phoenix’s “Walk the Line” co-star Reese Witherspoon appears as a buttoned-down beehived deputy D.A. who reveals her true self when she’s alone with Doc. Maybe. Martin Short is uber creepy as a dentist with a penchant for young talent. Eric Roberts puts a little haze on his usual oily persona, and Benicio Del Toro perks up his too-infrequent scenes. Wilson creates an intriguing aura and more than once may strike the viewer as the person who should have been in Doc’s shoes. Either he or Matthew McConaughey might have provided that spark that Phoenix is missing, the glimmer of humorous self-awareness that would give Doc an edge and turn “Inherent Vice” into something more than an interesting mess.

Rob Hammond, Head of School
Come See for Yourself! As the Head of School at Grace Christian Academy, I frequently have the privilege of meeting prospective families when they visit our campus. What they have in common is this – they are seeking an excellent academic program and a safe, supportive environment for their children. At Grace Christian Academy, we consider the education of our students a true partnership with their parents, so we prioritize those relationships from the beginning. In conjunction with our school theme for the 2014-15 school year, we seek to “Be Present” and take an active role in the community around us. Our students are engaged individually and collectively in local, national, and worldwide mission efforts. Through our connection with the world around us, we want our students to develop a mindset more like Christ and become more outwardly focused on those who so desperately need Him. Grace Christian Academy may be the right option for the education of your child, and the best way to nd out is to visit our campus! When families are on campus, they experience the distinctive spirit of community and warmth that exists here. I invite you to attend one of our admissions events, or call our Admissions Of ce to schedule a personal tour. I look forward to meeting you soon! Rob Hammond, Head of School

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM PARKWEST, WEST KNOXVILLE’S HEALTHCARE LEADER • TREATEDWELL.COM • 374-PARK
Parkwest Imaging Services provides patients personal ‘pictures of health’ Department features experienced staff, top-of-the-line diagnostic equipment and 24/7 services
If you are like most people, at some point in your life you may experience symptoms of an undetermined medical problem or have a health issue for which your doctor wants a closer look. Depending on the situation, your doctor may order an X-ray, MRI, CT scan, ultrasound, mammography, nuclear medicine or interventional radiology. “Most people have some basic knowledge about these procedures, but they may not realize that they have a choice about where to get the exam or that all diagnostic equipment is not equal,” said Parkwest Director of Radiology Connie Wagner. “We believe that investment in the best equipment and in advanced training for our staff pays off in more accurate results and excellent patient care.” Wagner explained that the different modalities (types of scans) provide internal “personal picAll-digital technology allows medical teams to consult quickly about a patient’s treatment. Images are available to tures of a person’s health.” Parkwest’s Imaging Services radiologists and other physicians almost immediately after your scan.
Department is open by appointment 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and it’s not just for patients who are admitted to Parkwest Medical Center. “We do 11,000 to 13,000 exams every month, including outpatients,” said Wagner. “We have some of the most advanced equipment on the market and staff who have been expertly trained on its use. A prime example is the addition of 3-dimensional breast imaging (tomosynthesis) at the Parkwest Comprehensive Breast Center, which is a superior tool in detecting cancer.” Additionally, Parkwest Imaging Department is accredited by the American College of Radiology (ACR), and all of the modalities and processes in the department meet stringent quality measures. To find out more about Parkwest Imaging Services or to schedule a service, call 865-373-1500. Learn more online by clicking the Imaging Services link under Clinical Services at www.TreatedWell.com.
The acronyms of radiology: a primer for Parkwest Imaging Services Special Procedures (Interventional Radiology) Parkwest Imaging Services offers a full spectrum of diagnostic and interventional procedures, including, but not limited to: angioplasty/stent placement; central venous access (Permacath, Portacath); dialysis fistula/graft declotting; IVC filter placement; uterine fibroid embolization; liver chemo-embolization and radiofrequency ablation; TIPS (shunting of liver vessels); biliary and genitourinary drainage; and vertebroplasty. All technologists are ARRT registered and RNs are ACLS certified.
CT (Computed Tomography) A CT (or CAT) scan combines the power of X-ray technology and computerized imagery to take layered pictures of hard and soft tissues, including bones and organs. Common uses of CT include identifying stroke, pulmonary embolism, kidney stones, trauma and signs of heart disease. CTs are typically quick procedures, taking just minutes to complete. In emergency cases, they can reveal internal injuries and bleeding quickly enough to help save lives. A major advantage of CT is that it is able to image bone, soft tissue and blood vessels all at the same time. CT imaging is sometimes compared to looking into a loaf of bread by cutting the loaf into thin slices. When the image slices are reassembled by computer software, the result is a very detailed multidimensional view of the body’s interior. Refinements in detector technology allow new CT scanners to obtain multiple slices in a single rotation. Approximately 2,300 scans are performed monthly at Parkwest. All technologists are ARRT registered. Parkwest has three scanners: two GE 16-slice Lightspeed and a GE 64-slice VCT (Volume Computed Tomography).
DaTscan DaTscan is an imaging drug that is injected into the bloodstream to help your doctor assess a chemical called dopamine, which is involved in controlling movement. After the chemical is injected and enough time has passed for it to be absorbed, a special device, called a gamma camera, will take 3-dimensional, cross-sectional pictures of your brain. These images (called single photon emission computed tomography or SPECT images) and a report will be sent to your doctor, who can discuss the test results with you. DaTscan procedures and SPECT imaging are performed in the Nuclear Medicine Department.
Ultrasound Diagnostic Imaging (X-ray) X-rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation. In the hospital setting, X-rays are emitted by a machine as individual particles that pass through the body and are interpreted by a computer to display the images. Solid structures such as bones appear white, areas that contain air (such as lungs) appear black and soft tissues appear as shades of gray. This digital technology is an efficient change from the traditional film process. All technologists at Parkwest are ARRT registered, and radiation protection and minimization of patient exposure is always considered for patient safety.
MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) MRI uses powerful magnets and radio waves to non-invasively produce detailed images of the body. MRI is capable of showing very fine detail in tissue and organs. Typical uses of MRI scans are helping identify problems with the brain, joints, ligaments, nerves, blood vessels and distinguishing cancerous tissue. Depending on what information your doctor needs, the MRI scan may require the use of a contrast-agent given intravenously to assist in seeing certain structures in your body. Unlike conventional
radiography and CT, no radiation is used. All technologists at Parkwest are ARRT registered with advanced registry. MRI at Parkwest is performed using a GE 3-tesla or GE 1.5 tesla magnet.
Ultrasound uses ultra high-frequency sound waves which are reflected off
What you need to know before you go is on the web
Nuclear Medicine Nuclear Medicine is an exam that requires a radioactive isotope be ingested orally or injected via IV into the body. The patient lies on a table under a camera which specializes in the imaging of organs’ metabolic functions. One of the distinct differences between nuclear medicine and other areas of radiology is that nuclear medicine is often used to assess how an organ functions; other modalities focus of the anatomy of the organ. Nuclear medicine services at Parkwest include bone scans, heart scans, hepatobiliary scans, thyroid scans and general nuclear medicine scans. Nuclear medicine can be highly beneficial in locating the source of an unknown infection. For example, in a white blood cell study at Parkwest, an isotope is injected that goes to the site of the infection. Four cameras are available for patient exams. All technologists are NMTCB certified.
of the body organs, vessels and other structures to produce images. Unlike other areas of radiology, no radiation is used in ultrasound imaging. A waterbased gel is placed on the patient’s skin over the area of interest to help conduct the sound waves. The technologist then scans with a probe called the transducer. The transducer emits sound waves and listens for the “echo” as the sound is either absorbed or bounces off anatomic structures. Ultrasounds help diagnose a wide range of conditions and are frequently used to visualize soft structures such as arteries, veins, glands and abdominal organs. Ultrasound technology at Parkwest is often used for vascular diagnostics, obstetrics and gynecology, biopsies, thoracentesis and paracentesis. All Parkwest sonographers are RDMS certified.
Parkwest Imaging Services is located on the first floor of Riverstone Tower and is easily accessible from the hospital’s main lobby entrance. Patients are phoned the day before scheduled exams and are told what to expect. They are given any special instructions they should know before arriving, such as what clothing is appropriate and what forms may be needed. Parkwest staff understands that even “routine” medical tests can be confusing and that patients are sometimes

There are several types of diagnostic scans, and each is used for different purposes. Here’s an overview of how different services are commonly used.

Keeping Knoxville By Betsy Pickle
Note: South Knox Shopper-News reporter Betsy Pickle wants everyone to clean it up. As South Knoxville gets busier, it’s also getting trashier. The amount of litter along major and secondary roadways is reaching alarming levels. The subject of trash and litter comes up at nearly every community meeting across South Knox. It was a focus at the December meeting of the Chapman Highway Garden Club, where Allison Teeters, executive director of Keep Knoxville Beautiful, spoke about litter eradication and how to clean up South Knoxville before April’s Dogwood Arts Festival, which will spotlight all of SoKno. Teeters thanked the garden club members for their role in beautifying the community. “You guys help greatly to make Knoxville more beautiful,” she said. “But Keep Knoxville Beautiful is about more than planting flowers.” The organization began in 1978 as the Greater Knoxville Beautification Board, formed to help the city clean up for the 1982 World’s Fair. The name was changed in 1997 to strengthen the branding of all Keep America Beautiful affiliates. “Our general vision is a cleaner, greener, more beautiful community,” said Teeters. Powell resident Roy Arthur chairs the board of Keep Knoxville Beautiful, and the late Mary Lou Horner of Halls was an active member since its formation. Teeters, who has been the director for seven years, and Ariel Allen, program coordi-
nator through AmeriCorps who started last year, are the only staff members at Keep Knoxville Beautiful. They depend heavily on volunteers. “We typically have about 3,500 volunteers per year,” Teeters told the group gathered at Woodlawn Christian Church. “Last year they picked up over 97,000 pounds of litter off our roadways.” While that’s an impressive figure, it’s also “kind of sad,” she said. “Litter gets there either on purpose or by accident. We’ve all seen somebody throw something out of their car, which is really just sad because they’re littering God’s creation. We are treating it like a trash can.” Much of the problem is that “we are a disposable society” – throwing away everything from fast-food packaging to refrigerators, and not always in landfills or designated trash receptacles. In addition to educating and encouraging people not to litter, Keep Knoxville Beautiful focuses on waste reduction. “We’re talking about reuse; we’re talking about recycling,” said Teeters. KKB has a recycling trailer that can be borrowed by any organization, free of charge. The 6x10-foot trailer comes with metal holders that can be set up and outfitted with clear bags to collect recyclables at events of any size. On average, Americans accumulate 4.4 pounds of trash per day, she said. “You can imagine a family of four – that’s almost 20 pounds of trash a day.” As a twist on traditional beautification projects, KKB has started organizing “beautification mobs.” The

first took place at the corner of Central and Summit Hill in the Old City and took all day. At another “mob” in the fall, about 20 volunteers planted 1,000 daffodil bulbs in an hour at the off-ramps from I-275 to Woodland and Oldham avenues. Cleaner, greener streets make people feel safer and thus more inclined to stop at nearby businesses, Teeters said.
“We want to make a good first impression,” she said. “We want people to come here. We want people to stay here. We want people to spend money here because it helps our economy.” To volunteer with KKB or to inquire about the recycling trailer, call 865-5216957 or email info@keepknoxvillebeautiful.org.
