Sue Spicer: volunteer
Exceptional Southern dining
comes to Powell
Sue Spicer didn’t allow breast cancer to slow her down; instead, she has used her experience to provide comfort to others who are going through the same diagnosis. Spicer volunteers at Tennova Cancer Resource Center, where she and other volunteers logged 33,000 hours last year providing information to patients, answering questions and, many times, just lending an ear or a shoulder to cry on.

‘American Sniper’ Director Clint Eastwood knows war movies. His “Flags of Our Fathers” and “Letters From Iwo Jima” are two of the best in recent years. “American Sniper” had the potential to make it a trifecta, but Eastwood can’t figure out what kind of war movie he’s trying to make.

Butter and love The most important ingredients for baking are real butter and love. This is according to Powell resident and baker Alexandria Heimerman. “I started out in college getting my business degree but just couldn’t wait to go to culinary school, so I dropped out and moved to California.”

Hosts Bailee Rhoton and Lauren McGill stand ready to seat diners at the opening of The Front Porch restaurant.
By Cindy Taylor The Front Porch menu claims exceptional Southern dining, right there in bold print. It does not lie. After months of wading through permits and prepping for handicap access, owners opened the Powell eatery for family and friends on the night of Jan. 6. The house was packed, and the food did not disappoint. The menu includes steak, chicken, trout and duck, along with inspired sides and appetizers created to melt in your mouth and warm your tummy. And the homemade bread … wow! If you end up waiting for a table,

Bradley vs. Bradley: By Betty Bean A railroad crossing marks the boundary between residential Cedar Lane and the commercial corridor of Merchant Drive and the I-75 interchange to the west, but City Council is halfway to enacting a rezoning that will not only change that demarcation, but also has one prominent neighborhood activist predicting negative repercussions all over town. “I’m shocked that City Council would do something like this to one of the most stable neighborhoods in North Knoxville,” said Lynn Redmon, president of the Norwood Homeowners Association, who didn’t go to the council meeting to speak out against the rezoning because, “I didn’t think it would be necessary.

“Breaking open this residential zoning will have long-term effects on Cedar Lane and other neighborhoods in this town, and they did it because they could. This was not City Council’s finest hour.” The rezoning, approved on first reading by a 5-4 vote, consists of three Metropolitan Planning Commission-recommended measures (including city and sector plan amendments plus a conditional rezoning). The property owner is Cindy Bradley, a real estate agent and former MPC commissioner who bought the former church building at the corner of Cedar Lane and Rowan Road in 2012 after MPC rejected the former owner’s request to rezone it to office, resulting in the asking price being slashed al-

most in half. Churches and schools are permitted inside residential zones on use-on-review. Bradley wants the property rezoned from civic institutional to office and low density residential and says she was forced to make this request because the city will not allow her tenants to have signage for their businesses. MPC has imposed four conditions regarding parking spaces and street access. Bradley was supported by Inskip Neighborhood Association president Betty Jo Mahan, who is an MPC employee. Mahan said her membership prefers Cindy Bradley’s proposed dance studio and office uses to apartment buildings, of which the area has a plethora. On the other side was Ryan
Bradley (no relation), the property’s next-door neighbor, who presented a petition with the signatures of 30 other close neighbors who oppose the rezoning and want to preserve the residential character of their neighborhood. “We all bought here knowing we were in R1,” Ryan Bradley said. “I don’t know why we’re talking about multi-family (not an allowed use in R-1 zones).” Fifth District City Council member Mark Campen, who represents the area, opposed the rezoning request, saying that Cindy Bradley bought the property at a greatly reduced price because of its zoning issues and should not benefit from her gamble at the expense of her To page A-3
A great day to stay home By Sandra Clark Knox County Schools will be giving a state-mandated “writing assessment” to children in grades 3-11 in February. The mom of a thirdgrader contacted Shopper-News.
Analysis The tests will be given on computer, and third-graders will be required to type their answers, she said. The teacher wrote: “This is an online assessment, which means they will read two articles online and then TYPE their 5 paragraph response.”

a stroll upstairs to the primitive shop will warm your heart. “I have been working here for months decorating and helping to prepare for the opening,” said primitive shop employee Wanda Carden. “When I came in tonight, the sights, smells, music, lighting and seeing all the people enjoying themselves – it took my breath away.” Located in the former George and Frona Gill home at the intersection of Emory Road and Spring Street, the restaurant offers ca-
The kids will have an hour and a half to complete the test with a 30-minute break “in between,” according to the teacher. Dr. Elizabeth Alves, chief academic officer for Knox County Schools, said this is the first year the test will be administered in grades 3-11. “In the past, it was only given in grades 5, 8 and 11. The test was piloted across the state last year. Our teachers opted not to participate in the pilot.” Alves said the writing test for grades 5, 8 and 11 was administered by computer last year and grades 8 and 11 have been tested
on computer for two years. She said student performance will be reported, but it will not count for teacher evaluation or system accountability purposes. My final question: In what grade are children taught to type and expected to be proficient in the skill?” Alves said: “Instruction in the use of technology and typing varies from school to school. Currently, there is no curriculum from the state for teaching typing at the elementary levels; however, there are state standards at each grade level that identify performance expecta-
tions. Elementary students are not graded on proficiency in typing.” The parent who contacted Shopper-News is concerned that her 8-year-old will be typing a fiveparagraph response in a timed format. She said her kid visits the tech lab every six days, hardly enough to become proficient at keyboarding. The teacher who contacted her said typing practice at home would be helpful because, “Capitalization, punctuation and indentions will be taken into consideration on their assessment grade.” This might be a good day to keep your 8-year-old at home.

health & lifestyles NEWS FROM PARKWEST, WEST KNOXVILLE’S HEALTHCARE LEADER • TREATEDWELL.COM • 374-PARK
When should I go to the emergency department? According to the latest government statistics, approximately 136 million people are treated in U.S. emergency departments (EDs) every year. These patients are treated for a wide variety of medical conditions. How do you decide when a medical condition rises to the level of an emergency? The American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) offers the following list of warning signs that indicate when something may be a medical emergency: ■ Difficulty breathing, shortness of breath ■ Chest or upper abdominal pain or pressure ■ Fainting, sudden dizziness, weakness ■ Changes in vision ■ Confusion or changes in mental status ■ Any sudden or severe pain ■ Uncontrolled bleeding ■ Severe or persistent vomiting or diarrhea ■ Coughing or vomiting blood ■ Suicidal feelings ■ Difficulty speaking ■ Shortness of breath ■ Unusual abdominal pain
“If you think you or a loved one might be experiencing a medical emergency, come to the ED to have a doctor examine you,” says Parkwest Emergency Department Medical Director Brian Braxton, MD. “If you think the condition is life-threatening or the person’s condition will worsen on the way to the hospital, you need to call 911 so the local Emergency Medical Services (EMS) provider can come to you.” The Parkwest Emergency Department sees patients based on the severity of their illnesses or injuries, not first-come, first-served. To get the best care as quickly as possible, note the following advice: ■ Bring a list of medications and allergies. What’s the name of the medication you are taking? How often do you take it and for how long? A list of allergies is important, especially if you have many. Be sure to include medications, foods, insects or any other product that may cause an allergic reaction. Parkwest can provide wallet-sized medication info cards free of charge if you’d like one. To get a medication info card, ask anyone in the ED or contact Parkwest Marketing at 373-1000. ■ Know your immuniza-
Cold or When you wake up sneezing, coughing, and have that achy, feverish, can’t-move-a-muscle feeling, how do you know whether you have a cold or the flu? While it can be hard to tell, it’s important to know the difference between the symptoms. A cold is a milder respiratory illness that can make you feel badly for a few days, while the flu can make you feel very sick for a few days to weeks. The flu can also result in serious health problems such as pneumonia which may require hospitalization.
tions. These immunizations mainly include Tetanus, Flu and Hepatitis B for adults. ■ Remain calm. It is difficult to remain composed if you’ve been badly injured, but a calm attitude can help improve communication with the doctors and nurses who are caring for you. ■ If you think you or a loved one is experiencing a cardiac emergency, call 911. EMS personnel and ambulances are prepared to handle these types of emergencies and can start some treatment modalities while en route to Parkwest. Plus, we’ll know you’re coming and can triage you faster than if you come on your own. “Communication is important when you arrive at an emergency department,” says Braxton. “As an ED physician, I want to know as much about the patient as I can as quickly as I can, so the proper treatment can begin. There can be long waits in all EDs as doctors and nurses tend to those with the most severe conditions first. Tell us if your level of pain increases or if there is any change in your condition while you’re waiting so we may better meet your needs.”

What are common cold symptoms? Cold symptoms usually begin with a sore throat, which usually goes away after a day or two. Nasal symptoms, like a runny nose or congestion, follow with a cough by the fourth and fifth days. Fever is not typical in adults. Cold symptoms may cause watery nasal secretions for the first few days. Later, these secretions may become thicker and darker. Dark mucus is natural and does not always mean you have developed a bacterial infection.

Items donated included a naughty or nice pillow that once belonged to Tipper Gore and a dish once used by Queen Elizabeth II. Or so auctioneers Wilma Pratt and Debbie Johnson would have you believe. And they came up with even more wild stories to sell club memorabilia and raise funds for the coming year. If you didn’t intend to purchase an item, it could be dangerous to even blink. But it was all in good fun and for a worthy cause. “These were antiques used at Biltmore House,” said Pratt jokingly of a set of placemats that brought a high winning bid. “In case anyone’s feelings get hurt, we have plenty of stuff to bid on,” said Johnson.

Powell Playhouse set for ‘improv’ By Cindy Taylor It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s whatever you want it to be! As long as you can come up with the prop and a threeminute skit. This may present a challenge for actors with the Powell Playhouse, but it can only mean fun for the audience. PPH will present the inaugural rendition of “A Night of Improv” 7-8:30 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 17, in the Nita Buell Black Auditorium at Powell High School. Skits will be unrehearsed and created the moment
they are performed. Playhouse regulars will be provided with scenarios and must grab props and come up with skits on the spot. The evening will kick off with an original play written by former Playhouse vice president and artist Bob Longmire titled “Happy Holly Day.” “We are excited to have our first-ever improv night and to present our first original short play,” said playhouse president Gina Jones. “This is exactly what the playhouse is all about:
lifting up all the different talent we have in our area.” Admission to “A Night of Improv” is $10 at the door. Next up at the Powell Playhouse will be the courtroom drama “The Night of January 16.” The play will involve jurors selected from the audience. Auditions will be 6 p.m. Monday, Jan. 26, Tuesday, Jan. 27, Monday, Feb. 2, and Tuesday, Feb. 3, at the Powell library. The public is encouraged to audition as there are numerous roles available for lawyers and witnesses.

Prayer meeting time I do believe it is prayer meeting time. The sports forums I follow, starting with Scout’s VolChat and Rocky Top Board, tell me Tennessee people are praying for one of our favorite sons, Eric Berry. So are Georgia people and Kentucky people and some from Florida and even Alabama. Out in Kansas, concern for Berry is big. Eric is 26, a two-time All-American Volunteer, recipient of the Jim Thorpe Award as the nation’s best collegiate defensive back. The Chiefs selected him fifth in the 2010 draft. He has been that good or better in the NFL. That was then. The now part is a fight for his life against Hodgkin lymphoma. He is favored to win – a high percentage do – but he is too special and this is too serious to take for granted. Peyton Manning has checked in. He sees this as a tough fight, understands the treatment is challenging, but says Eric is a fighter. “I reached out to him and told him he’s in a lot of peo-

ple’s prayers and thoughts.” Phillip Fulmer is optimistic. “He was always up to the challenge. I believe he will be in this case.” Ex-Vol Inky Johnson, inspiration for many, close friend to Berry, says Eric is doing well. “He’s doing great. He comes from a great family. Most importantly, Eric knows who’s in control of his situation, and that’s God. When you know who’s in control, you’re at peace with it. So Eric will be fine.” Maybe you know that Berry chose Kansas City number 29 in recognition of Inky. He was 29 at Tennessee. We don’t know when the cancer started, but we know when it was found. Quirky story. Late November, Berry put a big hit on Oakland running back Marcel Reece.

The other safety, Husain Abdullah, came flying in to get a piece. He also got some of Eric. Berry got up clutching his chest. “You all right?” Abdullah asked. “I’m good,” Berry replied. Later, his shoulder wasn’t so good. An X-ray didn’t show anything, but when orthopedic physician Cris Barnthouse examined him, things didn’t add up. Berry hurt when he moved his arm but was not sensitive to touch, nor was his strength affected. If his chest was bruised, he would have felt pain in all three tests. Barnthouse recommended an MRI.

I remember a high school story of him volunteering as a helper in a dentist’s office. I always suspected the receptionist was pretty. I recall, at UT, him showing up in the equipment room the night before a game to help team managers clean and polish helmets. Think about that, star with a scrub brush.

One Harvard veteran called the changes “deplorable, deeply regressive,” while another said the outof-pocket costs were “equivalent to taxing the sick.” As a member of the unwashed masses who has forked over my “sick tax” for years, it’s hard to overlook their hypocrisy, much less generate sympathy for them. The new Harvard health
plan carries an annual deductible of $250 for an individual and $750 for a family. Those are small fractions of what’s paid by most people who purchased insurance under the Affordable Care Act. The yearly out-of-pocket limit is $1,500 for individuals and $4,500 for families. In sum, Harvard says the plan will pay 91 percent of health-care costs for enrollees. Don’t bother looking for a plan through the federal or state exchanges that pays as well.

Pavlis: Time to give mayor more money Vice Mayor Nick Pavlis is looking for co-sponsors for an ordinance to raise the mayor’s pay, a measure he says is long overdue. The mayor and four of his City Council colleagues will be up for re-election this year.
Betty Bean “The mayor makes $130,000 a year, and I am going to propose raising it by $12,500, to $142,000. It would take effect at the end of 2015, the day after the next swearing-in. This is the appropriate time to do it,” he said. “The last increase was voted on in 2003 and didn’t take effect until ’06 – and here it is, 2015. Sure, $12,500 is a big one-time catch up, but if you amortize it over a nine-year period, it’s not that big a catch up. I just think our city should be in line with other cities and with county officials.” Most mayors in other cities and County Mayor Tim Burchett make more than Rogero, said Pavlis, whose great-uncle Jack Dance was mayor of Knoxville when he died in 1959. He said he doesn’t want to see this office become the preserve of the very rich, and said that since city employees are required to be on the job for 10 years before vesting in pension benefits and mayors are limited to two four-year terms, mayors will generally be ineligible for pensions (Rogero, if re-elected, would be an exception since she served for four years as city development director
under Mayor Bill Haslam before resigning in 2010 to run for mayor). County employees vest in eight years. “I worry that we’re making it an exclusive club and knocking out the vast majority of citizens of Knoxville from consideration,” he said. “If you’re a reasonably intelligent person with a reasonable job with a pension and benefits, the salary has to be up there because you’re giving up your benefits. We’ve been surveying salaries and benefits, and I think this is a good path for us to go down and I think we should look at this more frequently than we have. “Madeline had no idea this was coming. She wouldn’t be a party to that, anyway – that’s political suicide.” Chattanooga Mayor Andy Burke makes $151,000. Memphis Mayor A.C. Wharton makes $162,925, and Knox Count y Mayor Tim Burchett gets $167,687 annually. Metro Nashville Mayor Karl Dean’s $136,500 makes him a bit of an outlier (in November, the Metro Council turned down a proposal to raise his salary to $180,000). State law requires the county mayor’s salary to be the highest in the county, but at least six city employees, including Janet Wright (director of information systems) at $168,230, Bill Lyons (deputy to the mayor) at $160,130, Christi Branscom (deputy to the mayor) at $153,120, Charles Swanson (law director) at $152,980, David Rausch (chief of police) at $139,080 and Stephen King (deputy director of engineering) at $133,150 make more money than Rogero.

The case for tuition-free college By now, everyone in the world and the astronauts in outer space know that President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and his wife, Dr. Jill Biden, visited Pellissippi State Community College last week to announce a national plan of two years of tuition-free community college for anyone willing to work for it. The plan will be based on Tennessee Promise, a program with the same incentive offered for the first time ever to the class of 2015 throughout our great Volunteer state. I am not usually one to follow politics, but I think this is a great idea if we can all make it through the red tape without getting stuck in it. This is why I support the president’s plan: When covering school news, every

day I visit at least one public school and meet students who blow me away with their ideas. Students of all ages have shown me projects they’ve created, fundraising they’ve planned and hosted themselves, goals they’ve achieved and dreams they would like to follow upon graduating from high school. Without Tennessee Promise, many of them would never be able to afford college. I can’t speak for the rest of the country, or even for
everyone else here in Tennessee, but I know when I hear a kindergartner tell me an idea she has to help the homeless or I interview a student in the fifth grade who already has a business plan to start his own company, I am so glad they will have the support they’ll need right here at home. Not only will they have the potential to better themselves, but they’ll better their world – mine and yours – in the process. During his announcement, the president said he hopes to level the playing field among the haves and the have-nots. “We don’t expect everybody to make it,” he said, “but we do expect everybody to get an equal shot.” It shouldn’t be about what you look like, how you worship or your last name,
he said. I couldn’t agree more. There are many gifted children who may not be given the same opportunities because of the area they live in or how much money their parents make. “No one with drive and discipline should be left out,” the president continued. “Two years of college will be as free as high school is today.” Once students complete the two years of college, they could transfer those credits to a university and essentially get half of a bachelor’s degree free. The students I meet and write about are a glimpse of the talent thriving in today’s schools. With a national plan to give them a hand up, their possibilities are endless. Sara Barrett is West Knox school beat reporter for Shopper-News.
MPC − better than a soap opera I used to think that sitting through a multi-hour government meeting would be approximately as enjoyable as having my toenails trimmed with a jackhammer. But as I’ve become a grownup, the things that interest me have changed. Thank goodness. Otherwise, I’d still be watching soaps with my girlfriends, MPC chair Rebecca Longmire and commissioner Bart Cary recas I did when I was 14. ognize retiring MPC executive director Mark Donaldson, center, at last week’s meeting.

During my process of educating myself about local government, I’ve watched a few meetings online and attended a few in person. Last week was my first inperson encounter with the Knoxville-Knox County Metropolitan Planning Commission (MPC), and I was transfi xed. Before the meeting began, I examined the audience and found I could pick out the developers, lawyers and concerned citizens. Most of the lawyers I knew by name because a relatively small pool represents
most local developers and citizens. The developers generally had a similar look − jeans, a sport coat and longish hair. Hip. The citizens wore their stress like a garment. They sat in groups and whispered together. I understand their fear. Some are facing development that could have a very real negative impact on their property and, maybe, on their lives. This is where the drama happens. People don’t like change. Nobody ever says, “I’ve always enjoyed this wooded lot behind my house, where squirrels and birds play. But I don’t mind if someone knocks down the trees and grades with loud equipment in order to build a new hospital/shopping
Larry Van Guilder The “platinum” plans come close, covering 90 percent of costs on average, but are prohibitively expensive for many. “Silver” plans, covering 70 percent, are the most purchased.

be ignored. Lamar Alexander and Bob Corker, Tennessee’s full complement of U.S. senators, were eager to be seen with President Barack Obama as he visited Big Orange Country. Neither made an appearance during Obama’s earlier treks to Tennessee (Nashville and Memphis), so is it growing admiration for his
center/apartment complex behind my house. “I understand that development is part of the natural order of things in a growing city like Knoxville.” To be honest, I tend to side with those citizens − all of them. Our homes are overwhelmingly personal. They are our refuge. It’s cruel to deprive people of the things they love best about their homes for the sake of progress, especially if a developer profits from the loss. Still, I have to admit that, after watching several hours of meetings, I’m beginning to understand the other side. No matter how surrounding property owners feel, sick people benefit from
hospitals. People buy things they need at shopping centers, which supports jobs and produces tax revenues that pay for stuff like schools and pothole repair. People live in the apartments, and they’re more likely to be young professionals, like my son, than drug dealers. It comes down to those who serve, without pay, on the MPC, to make decisions about where such things will be built. And here’s the good news − they take their jobs seriously. They ask questions, and they seek input from citizens, even when the agenda is long and each side has spent its five minutes of talk time. They’ll never be popular, except maybe with the developers. They will, more often than not, approve development, even if it hurts the little guy. It’s done, in theory, for the greater good. It’s what they did when your subdivision, your grocery store and your office building were approved. Whenever two opposing forces come together, there’s high drama. That’s what makes MPC meetings interesting. They’re better than a soap opera.
leadership that drew them this time? During a Nov. 20, 2014, interview on Fox, Corker, riled over Obama’s decision to take executive action on immigration, called his presidency the “worst in modern history.” Obama is “weak,” Corker said, and acting like “a 13-year-old.” I don’t hear the Carpenters singing “Close to You” in that rant. They must want to praise his signature legislation.
“The health-care law is an historic mistake that should be delayed, dismantled, repealed and replaced,” Alexander said in a speech before the Senate on Sep. 27, 2013. Oops. Corker? He voted against passage of a continuing resolution that included funding Obamacare and instead supported U.S. Rep. Marsha Blackburn’s bill to repeal it.

Words for 2015 from pastor Travis Henderson By Cindy Taylor “2014 was a year of blessings for me and the congregation at Glenwood Baptist,” said the Rev. Travis Henderson. “My youngest daughter came to know Christ and I had the honor of baptizing her.” Henderson says God worked in the lives of many others as well. “I saw people who had never been involved in church develop a deep love for Christ.” Henderson says Glenwood Baptist Church of Powell had a great year of serving the community through the John 5 food pantry, which usually serves 20-25 families each month. In November they were blessed to
be able to cook, serve and sit down to Thanksgiving dinner with the families who come to the pantry. T h e c h u r c h started a new Sunday school class Henderson for young adults, and it is now the largest and fastest growing class. Henderson says 2014 was a good year, but he’s even more excited by what God has in store for 2015. “My hope and prayer for Glenwood is that we can proclaim the word of God and extend the love of
Christ to our community and the world greater than we ever have before.” Henderson hopes that Glenwood Baptist can help people find what they are searching for in life. “People search in different ways: through money, power, relationships, possessions, etc. My hope is that we can tell about, show and lead them to the only thing that can fill the void in their lives – a relationship with Jesus.” The congregation at Glenwood wants to show people that church is not a closed community, a country club or a place of judgment. It is not about a style of music, what you wear or the programs. He says that
Glenwood’s plan for 2015 is threefold: praying together, studying God’s word and serving in a greater way than ever before. “I hope we can show that church is not a place you come to, but is God’s people gathered together to worship and honor Him. We want Glenwood to glorify God by loving and serving our community. We want to show that God’s love, grace and mercy are available to all who would believe from our doorsteps to the ends of the earth.” Glenwood Baptist Church of Powell is at 7212 Central Avenue Pike.

The package was intended to prove that the couple could support themselves if granted a visa to the U.S.− their only possible escape from a situation that was growing increasingly dire for Jews in Czechoslovakia. In spite of the cousin’s efforts, the Strnads didn’t escape. The letter and designs were put on display at the museum in 2008. Interest in the material led to further research on the couple and a commission for the Milwaukee Repertory Theater’s costume shop to recreate Hedy’s designs. Five people worked on the dresses for over a year. They even silk-screened fabrics to match the prints in the designs, says Barb Levin, Ellie Gettinger’s mother. The result is an exhibit at JMM called “Stitching History from the Holocaust.” The dresses are especially poignant because they demonstrate Hedy’s remarkable talent, Levin says. “When you walk into the room (with the dresses), there’s a loud noise because

On reflection, I am grateful for that; otherwise, I might possibly have to live some days over and over until I get them right! Even so, the turning of the year is a gift. Because we w have chosen to “subdiv vide diurnity,” as Danish poet/philosopher/architect/ p c city designer Piet Hein describes s it, we can deal with time t in chunks, rather than be overwhelmed by its immensity. I am willing to take my days, my blessings and my woes one at a time! There is something fresh and promising about a new year. We have a chance to start over.

they are really loud and chattery.” The community is invited to hear Gettinger and Iroff speak about the exhibit at two events at the Arnstein Jewish Community Center, 6800 Deane Hill Drive. At 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 18, they will show a 30-minute PBS documentary on the exhibit, and Iroff will discuss the skills used to replicate the historical dress designs. At 10:30 a.m. on Sunday, Jan. 19, both women will discuss the role of dressmaking and tailoring in the Jewish experience.
Paul and Hedy’s story isn’t just about one couple, Levin says. It’s about two brothers who each raised a family − one in Prague and one in Milwaukee. The American side of the family is alive and well, while the Czech side was extinguished. But it’s also a story of hope. Even though Hedy lost her life, she has been immortalized through the exhibit. “It’s a remembrance, not only of what was lost in the Holocaust, but of the potential for life beyond that,” says Levin.

Jewish clothing designer Hedy Strnad was all but forgotten after her death in the Holocaust. But dresses created from a handful of her designs give insight into a world where even talented, professional Jews with American connections couldn’t escape the Nazis. The story began in Prague and continued to Milwaukee. Now, thanks to a Knoxville connection, it will be told here. Ellie Gettinger and Ellen Iroff grew up worshipping together at Heska Amuna Synagogue. Gettinger, influenced by a scholarship trip to Israel, chose a Jewish professional career and became the educator of the Jewish Museum Milwaukee (JMM). Iroff, who was active in Bearden High School’s drama department, studied costume design at the College of Charleston and eventually became the school’s costume shop manager. That makes them the perfect duo to tell Hedy’s story. A letter from Hedy’s husband, Paul Strnad, was discovered in the basement of a home in a Milwaukee suburb in 1997. The letter, mailed to Paul’s American cousin in 1939, included a photo of the couple and eight of Hedy’s dress designs.

The tournament, in its 42nd year, will be one of the toughest one-day tournaments in the state and will feature nine returning state champions and 31 returning state medalists.
Drivers in Tennessee and North Carolina can kick off the New Year by joining the 32,000 others who own vehicles with Friends of the Smokies license plates. Sales of specialty license plates in North Carolina and Tennessee support priority projects in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Projects include Student Conservation Association internship positions, Parks as Classrooms and Appalachian Trail Ridgerunner programs in both states. Seasonal environmental student interns gain a deeper understanding of park ecology while conducting scientific research, assisting with resource management projects and eradicating non-native plants and pests. Through the Parks as Classrooms program, approximately 18,000 students visit the Smokies each year for ranger-led, curriculum-based environmental education. By utilizing the national park as a science classroom, students develop an appreciation for the natural and cultural resources in subject areas including math and science. The Appalachian Trail Ridgerunner program works to protect resources and enhance the hiking experience along the AT within the national park. Ridgerunners educate backpackers and day hikers, clear trail debris, report emergencies and pack out litter along more than 70 miles of the AT in the park. Friends of the Smokies specialty license plates can be purchased for $35 in Tennessee and $30 in North Carolina, independent of plate expiration date. Plates may be purchased at DMV license plate tag offices and online at www. FriendsOfTheSmokies.org.

Movie hodgepodge should satisfy most tastes Pardon the cliché, but this weekend’s new movies offer something for practically everyone. For Oscar bait and warmovie fans, there’s “American Sniper,” starring Bradley Cooper and directed by Clint Eastwood. (Please see review, this page.) For the moviegoing mainstream, there’s “Blackhat,” a timely thriller starring Chris “Thor” Hemsworth. Hemsworth plays a jailed hacker recruited by the government and furloughed to help stop another hacker who’s trying to collapse the world’s financial markets. Viola Davis and Wei Tang co-star in the thriller directed by Michael Mann, whose last big-screen directing gig was 2009’s “Pub-

lic Enemies.” For families, there’s “Paddington,” based on the beloved books by Michael Bond. The lovable Peruvian bear is alone in a London train station until the kindly Brown family finds him and takes him home. It looks like a happy ending for Paddington until an evil museum curator (Nicole Kidman) finds out about the unusual talking bear. A top-notch British cast
– Hugh Bonneville, Sally Hawkins, Jim Broadbent, Julie Walters, Michael Gambon and Imelda Staunton – stars. Ben Whishaw provides the voice of Paddington, who is entirely computer generated. Paul King directed. Finally, for lovers of raunchy comedy, “The Wedding Ringer” fills the void. Kevin Hart plays a bestman-for-hire who attempts to save the day for a shy young groom trying to impress his in-laws. Josh Gad, Kaley CuocoSweeting, Josh Peck, Jorge Garcia, Cloris Leachman, Mimi Rogers and Jenifer Lewis round out the eclectic cast. Screenwriter Jeremy Garelick makes his featuredirecting debut.
Chris Kyle (Bradley Cooper) sets his sights on a target in “American Sniper.”
Cooper impresses, but ‘Sniper’ misses mark By Betsy Pickle Director Clint Eastwood knows war movies. His “Flags of Our Fathers” and “Letters From Iwo Jima” are two of the best in recent years. “American Sniper” had the potential to make it a trifecta, but Eastwood can’t figure out what kind of war movie he’s trying to make. Based on the story of Chris Kyle, whose liketitled autobiography spent months on the best-seller lists, “American Sniper” has a strong central performance but little nuance otherwise. The one thing that’s inarguable is that Bradley Cooper makes a tremendous physical transformation and powerfully conveys the growing inner disconnect between military and home life. Eastwood and screenwriter Jason Hall jump around in time at first, but even that gives way to a mostly orthodox chronology. Chris Kyle (Cooper) is a Texas rodeo rider who decides it’s his duty to defend his country. He joins the Navy SEALs and soon after his training is finished he is deployed to Iraq.
Trained as a sniper, he proves exceptionally good at his job, gaining the nickname “Legend” for his record number of kills. But when he goes home to his wife, Taya (Sienna Miller), he keeps his feelings and experiences to himself. Chris returns for tour after tour, passionately dedicating himself to protecting his brothers in arms. But he can’t save everyone, and unless he finds a way to address his inner demons, he may not be able to save himself, or his marriage. “American Sniper” feels right in the details of the Iraq war: the danger, the difficulty, the tunnel vision of trying to kill the enemy before he or she kills you. It also shows how Chris tries – and fails – to keep his work life separate from his home life with Taya and their growing family. But each aspect starts to seem redundant, especially Taya’s pleas for Chris to open up to her. And while the script – rightly – refuses to let in any political or historical revisionism, that only adds to the simplistic nature of the film. “American Sniper” doesn’t foreshadow – it
blares. His father preaches a message of defending others, so Chris joins the military. Young Chris showed a talent for hunting, so he becomes a sniper. Macho cowboy Chris discovers his girlfriend being unfaithful, so macho SEAL Chris finds an attractive woman, gently woos her and starts making plans for his version of their perfect life. Chris never questions the mission, and he takes it as inevitable that a colleague who does should die. If that’s how it went down, that’s fine. But after the lengthy buildup to Chris’s inner torture, the solution comes at warp speed. The breakthrough seems too convenient. Cooper’s bulked-up giant deserves better. The intensity he creates is palpable. The pain within him is wrenching. Simplistic in so many ways, “American Sniper” denies the audience the light-bulb moment that ensures a connection. It robs the story of the catharsis it should have earned and makes the denouement feel like an afterthought.

POWELL/NORWOOD Shopper news • JANUARY 14, 2015 • A-11
The power of By Carol Shane January isn’t typically thought of as the cheeriest month, what with the brightness of the holidays over and done with and tax season looming. Add in the usual cold, gray weather, and you’ve got a prescription for downheartedness. But there’s plenty of color around if you know where to look. The Arts and Culture Alliance of Knoxville is currently presenting the works of seven East Tennessee artists in “New Group Exhibition in the Balcony,” which opened with a warm, convivial reception at the Emporium Center on Jan. 9. Visitors mingled, snacked on treats from the Melting Pot, viewed the artwork and visited with participating artists. Lynn Corsi Bland from Gatlinburg mixes wax with oil to create her colorful, blocked abstracts. She says the wax “gives the oil body so you can move it around.” She uses various tools, including a palette knife and a brayer (a type of hand roller) to manipulate the paint. Bland has taught at the Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts along with another featured artist, Jennifer Willard, whose fabric works borrow from fairy tales. Using embroidery on hand-dyed material, Willard incorporates darker, more ambiguous aspects of the stories to add an intriguing conceptual layer to
the hand-stitched pieces. Tony Sobota’s brilliant draftsmanship takes center stage in his paintings, most of which feature some kind of industrial presence: a spark-spitting smelter, a conveyor belt tower, steel girders, coal-mining apparatuses. The viewer can almost hear the clang and feel the weight of these immense machines. “I love the architecture of industry,” says Sobota, “and I’ve become a downright factory junkie of late.” Sobota is also interested in “manmade versus living realities,” so human elements are often included: a rumpled coal miner, a musing face. Tony Henson’s big, vivid abstract-expressionist works dominate much of one wall of the exhibit. Eight years ago, he broke his

right hand – yes, he’s righthanded – in three places in “a stupid accident.” Henson, who up until then had been a representational artist, found that he could no longer hold a brush or pen, even after a period of recovery. He experimented with applying paint to canvas directly with his hands. As he healed, he moved on to using tools such as squeegees and palette knives and, eventually, brushes. He now says the accident “was a blessing because my paintings got better!” The Shopper’s own copy editor, Emily Shane, has seven pieces in the show. Shane uses discarded book covers with bright graphic designs to create optical flights of fancy. “Oasis,” an installation consisting of nine squares, appears to contain many layers. Some
viewers see a pool in the depths; others imagine that they’re gazing through the piece to the sky. “I like making art that doesn’t try to tell a story,” Shane says. “Ten people can look at the same piece and see it 10 different ways.” Beth Meadows’ paintings superimpose a punked-out model in unlikely settings like the great hall from “The Sound of Music.” Her work has been shown at Old City Java and Relix Variety Theatre. A transplant from Memphis, Meadows runs The Salvage Room for the nonprofit Knox Heritage and is also the director of the 17th Street Studios. Terina Gillette teaches art classes for all ages in her Holston Hills home. Her pieces show a love for texture. “I call them wall sculpture,” she says. Gillette
Amy Porter, music director at Redeemer Church of Knoxville, enjoys the evening with her outgoing 9-year-old daughter, Fiona. “Did you know I play the violin?” asks Fiona. The two stand in front of Tony Sobota’s “Heat Source.” Photos by Carol Shane also provides chalk art for various local businesses, including the popular Dean’s Restaurant in Fountain City. Like all seven artists featured in the show, she is driven by her creative vision. “I like to say that she has an affair with a guy named ‘Art,’” says Gillette’s hus-
band, Daniel, “and if she doesn’t see him occasionally, she gets irritable!” The “New Group Exhibition in the Balcony” runs through Jan. 31 at the Emporium Center, 100 S. Gay St. Hours and info: www. knoxalliance.com. Send story suggestions to news@shoppernewsnow.com.

The Grill at Highlands Row I can never enter The Grill at Highlands Row without a flashback to Andrew Morton’s Fine Gifts, one of Knoxville’s premier gift shops that operated at the location. Folks older than I, however, will quickly point out that The Grill at Highlands Row has actually returned the building at 4705 Old Kingston Pike to its original use. The Highlands Grill was one of Knoxville’s finest dining establishments from the early 1930s to the early 1960s. The new restaurant was opened in 2010 by Knoxville developer Tom Weiss, Chad Barger and Pat McMullan. They feature sophisticated Southern cuisine and strive to buy locally whenever possible. Steaks and seafood are favorites on the menu, and guests are always eager to see what culinary twists the chef has put on traditional Southern favorites.

FRIDAY-SUNDAY, JAN. 16-18 For my night out at Highlands, I went for the grilled pork tenderloin. I was having a hard time deciding between the tenderloin and the mountain trout, primarily because I don’t like collard greens, which was one of the side dishes with the tenderloin. The kind waiter let me substitute the collards for the roasted acorn squash, which came with the trout, so I was happy. The master griller knew what he or she was doing with the pork tenderloin. Beautifully presented with grill marks and cooked perfectly with just a whisper of pink, the pork was fork-tender and delicious. The dark

rum whipped sweet potatoes and aforementioned acorn squash were incredible accompaniments to the pork. My only complaint was the brandy peppercorn sauce under the pork tenderloin. I was really look-

Good tidings for real estate markets provement of some $43 million over sales from December 2013. Mortgage lending also ďŹ nished with a surge. The month of December saw nearly $341 million loaned against real estate in Knox County, the most since July, and $34 million more than in December 2013. The largest property transfer involved the Hampton Inn & Suites at 11340 Campbell Lakes Drive in West Knox County. The parcel sold for $11,725,000.

December closed the 2014 calendar for both real estate and lending markets in Knox County. For the month, there were Sherry Witt 866 property sales in Knox County, comparing favorably to the 729 transfers from last December, as well as the 735 sales registered in November 2014. The total value of property sold during December came in at just a fraction over $200 million – an im-
est improvement in the overall value of property sales. The year produced 9,989 transfers with an aggregate value of $2.29 billion, compared with $2.1 billion in 2013. Mortgage lending in 2014 was well off the pace set the previous year, as $3.27 billion was loaned against property compared with $3.74 billion in 2013; however, a strong fourth quarter did help close the gap. I hope you enjoyed a safe and joyous holiday season, and on behalf of all of us at the Register’s ofďŹ ce I want to wish all of you a very happy, healthy and prosperous Raintree Terrace Senior Living health services director Crystal Murphy, Maple Court Senior Living maintenance director Jim Williams and receptionist LaVonne Murray new year.

Two former Wellspring facilities, purchased last fall by Fortress Investment Group, provide residential units for people needing services in memory care and assisted living. The properties are under the management of Blue Harbor Senior Living, whose headquarters are in Portland, Ore. Regional sales leader Caroline Wilder said the properties were renamed: Maple Court Senior Living in Powell and Raintree Terrace Senior Living in Bearden. Fortress has 24 properties nationwide, but these are the only two in Tennessee, she said. Maple Court is a 56-bed memory-care facility for those with dementia or Alzheimer’s who need secure living conditions. Wilder said in the industry it is known as a “standalone memory-care neighborhood.� It offers residents both security and interior freedom to move about the building. Dementia behaviors include wandering, so this facility gives residents the space to do that, she said. “What I love about Maple Court is that it doesn’t feel like a memory-care neighborhood,� Wilder said. “Typically speaking, memory care is kind of closed off and away from – and secured from – everything. The fact that it’s a specialty built-alone memory-care (facility) means that once you walk in the secured doors in the front of the building, everything’s open. There’s a beautiful indoor courtyard.� The enclosed courtyard gives residents a safe place to go outside and even work in raised-bed gardens.
Raintree Terrace offe offers both memory-care and assisted-living units. The memory-care unit has 16 beds while the assisted-living area has 48 beds. Wilder said Raintree has a condo-like atmosphere because of the amenities. “When you walk into the dining room, there’s a large stacked-stone ďŹ replace that’s just gorgeous. Off the dining room, there are two doors that go to a covered deck. Downstairs in our memory care, there’s a private secured patio so that the residents can enjoy the outdoors in a secured environment.â€? Both facilities offer individual or double-occupancy rooms, which provide socialization and lower residency costs. “We offer companion suites, or shared suites, as an alternative,â€? she said. “It’s particularly helpful in memory care because studies show that individuals with Alzheimer’s or dementia do better socially when they have a roommate.â€? Amanda Spencer is the executive director at Raintree, and Cindy Winegar, who started this month, is the executive director of Maple Court. Both directors have been in the business for years, Wilder added. The senior living residences have full-time dining services and 24-hour nursing care, and each has about 30 employees, including activities directors. Residents go for group outings such as a recent trip to Gatlinburg. Wilder said the centers also hold family nights and holiday dinners.

Ahh … the finished product and the smell of fresh-baked Alexandria Heimerman scoops out the dough for her special cookies Photos by Cindy Taylor white chocolate cherry cookies.
Baking with butter and love By Cindy Taylor The most important ingredients for baking are real butter and love. This is according to Powell resident and baker Alexandria Heimerman. “I have known since I was 13 years old that I wanted to go into the food industry,” she said. “I started out in college getting my business degree but just couldn’t wait to go to culinary school, so I dropped out and moved to California.” There Heimerman enrolled in Le Cordon Bleu, got her culinary degree and ended up working at St. Regis Hotel and with greats such as Wolfgang Puck. She worked in his catering business at red carpet events like the Grammys. “It was very nerve-wracking when he was there, because I was still a student.” But her heart was in creating pastries and desserts. After a while, dealing with the cost of living in California became too much, and she really missed her family. Two years ago Heimerman moved back home
to Knoxville to be closer to them and to start The Flour Shoppe. The Flour Shoppe is operated out of Heimerman’s home and relies on wordof-mouth for clients. She is searching for a storefront in Powell so she can really get her business off the ground. “I am working on my business plan. I mainly want to do pastries, cakes and cookies,” she said. “But I really miss the ocean and hope to have a second store near a beach.” While we talked, Heimerman prepped a batch of white chocolate cherry cookies. Once they were in the oven, the delicious scent filled the bakery, currently set up in the basement of her house. She also bakes gluten-free and diabeticfriendly desserts. Heimerman has cherished recipes handed down from her great grandmother Marie Morton (who is still living at 93) and her great, great grandmother. Two of their recipes, chocolate pie and crème puffs, are Heimerman’s best sellers today.
Most of her favorites have been tweaked from the beginnings of other recipes. She is currently working on her own special chocolate chip cookie recipe. “My mom always made sure we had special, amazing cakes for our birthdays that she made, but I am the only professional baker in my family.” Heimerman said the memories of those special cakes were probably what got her interested in baking. “I hope to start a company where my children want to work in the family baking business and it can be passed down to them.” The Broadacres Homeowners Facebook page was
blowing up over the holidays with posts from Heimerman’s clients. Without fail, everyone bragged about the quality of her creations. Heimerman says one of the secret ingredients in all of her baking is her own homemade vanilla. Heimerman has won numerous awards for her pies and pastries including first place trophies at the 2014 Great Cake Bake and the 2014 Southern Woman Pie Contest. Quite a list of accomplishments for someone who is only 23 years old. To read more about Heimerman or to order one of her special creations, visit her Facebook page or call 949-325-4680.

A new center in Knoxville is helping connect people who want to volunteer their time to nonprofit organizations in need. Volunteer Knoxville was created last year, and after a nationwide search, Alexandria Brownfield was hired as the first executive director. Brownfield, who was managing a volunteer center Brownfield in St. Louis, shared information with the Rotary Club of Knoxville about Volunteer Knoxville’s mission. The organization now has about 75 nonprofit partners, and that number is increasing. A new website lists the partners, along with brief profiles so that people can learn about different organizations and find volunteer opportunities in real time, Brownfield said. Both individuals and organizations can sign up at the website. Those looking for opportunities can search using keywords and/or enter how far they’re willing to travel. Brownfield said that one
Tennessean in four currently volunteers for a total of 149.5 million hours of service worth $3.4 billion. “There are many benefits of volunteering,” Brownfield said. “Not only to your personal satisfaction, but you’re making a difference to your community. You’re sharing your time and talents to truly solve community problems. You’re also strengthening your community. You’re improving lives of local clients of nonprofit organizations, and you’re connecting to others.” Rotarian Frank Rothermel, who introduced Brownfield, chaired a Leadership Knoxville committee to create a project for its 30th anniversary, and the result was the volunteer center, which is an independent organization, he said. The Volunteer Knoxville website keeps a civic transcript of each volunteer’s efforts so they have a record. Young people can boost their resumés and sometimes have to do community service as part of their educational requirements, Brownfield said. By volunteering, they are building skill sets for future employment. For info: www. volunteerknoxville.org.
Historian Danial to visit Braden’s Fans of the Arts and Crafts movement will get a special treat at 11 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 17, when Stickley Furniture historian Mike Danial visits Braden’s Lifestyles Furniture in Turkey Creek. Stickley Furniture was founded in the early 1900s by Gustav Stickley and his brothers. The Missionstyle furniture line quickly gained recognition due to solid construction and quality. The Stickley brothers also partnered with architects William Morris and Harvey Ellis, becoming forerunners of the Ameri-
can Arts and Crafts movement. While Stickley Furniture is now owned by the Audi family of New York, the company’s integrity and commitment to quality remain. While at Braden, Danial will speak about the Arts and Crafts movement as well as the “rescue” of Stickley Furniture by the Audi family. He will also speak about furniture restoration, care and construction. Braden’s Lifestyles Furniture is at 11105 Turkey Drive. Info: Carrie Grey, 382-8530.
