Bailey outlines Powell grant proposal By Sandra Clark When

Frontier Communications announced a $10 million community grant opportunity called America’s Best Communities, the Powell Business and Professional Association Justin Bailey jumped in. “What would we do with $3 million?” we asked. Justin Bailey, co-chair of Enhance Powell, the PBPA’s beautification committee, spoke to the organization last week, outlining both the process of writing the grant and the ideas generated. “With the sidewalks currently in place, 1,000 homes in Broadacres and NorthField are within walking distance of downtown Powell. That’s roughly 3,000 people. You can’t find that anywhere else in Knox County. And we can do even better. We have to connect Crown College students to the downtown businesses. If we connect our sidewalks to Crown, Beaver Creek, Brickyard, Spring, Collier and Sharp that number doubles. “From what we’ve learned during our research, communities

are like houses and every house needs a living room. A walkable downtown is the living room of the community. Our living room needs a remodel. A rebranding. We are one of the only communities in Knox County with a true downtown. We just aren’t using it to its full potential. The walkability will increase retail and recreation. “We need five acres near downtown Powell for a multi-use building. This would house a community center, senior center, Powell Playhouse and a business incubator/co-working space for new local start-ups. “Why would we not put this within walking distance to what could be 6,000 people with increased walkability?” By April 29, the committee will know whether Powell is a quarterfinalist. If so, that’s an immediate $35,000 grant and the chance to compete for up to $3 million. Bailey, a real estate agent and fifth-generation Powell resident, defined the Emory Road business corridor from Spring Street to Halftime Pizza as Historic Powell Station. Economic growth and community stability will come from a concerted effort to promote events to

draw families to downtown Powell. Bailey laid out a vision where a family could walk to downtown, shop at a boutique, get a sandwich and soft drink, watch a baseball game at Powell High School and return home along lighted sidewalks. “We don’t want to force businesses to do a makeover. We don’t even want every business to look alike. It’s like football. We don’t want everyone to wear the same number, but we want folks to know we’re on the same team.” The 60 or so attending the PBPA

were captivated by Bailey’s vision. They were sold when he flashed slides of commercial buildings as they stand and showed what they could be. He promoted a disc golf course and kayak takeout at Powell Station Park, showed the design for “Welcome to Powell” signs at the interstate, and talked about a Neighborhood Conservation designation for Historic Powell Station. Yes, we’ve got the vision. Now we need that $3 million first prize.

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

KnoxFest. “The SweetWater Clean Sweep is a natural addition to our weekend outdoor festival,” says Carol Evans, executive director of Legacy Parks Foundation. “SweetWater is committed to clean-water efforts through multiple initiatives, so we approached them about partnering on a river cleanup.” At 2 p.m. Saturday, people are encouraged to meet at Gov. Ned McWherter/Riverside Landing Park with their own watercraft. They will then float to the AdvenTo page A-3

Lessons from the hip

Hip replacement technique puts retired principal back on feet If there’s one thing Dr. Myrna Sumner has learned during her 40-year career in education, it’s this: “You cannot teach from behind a desk, especially not middle school students.” To get your point across to young minds, one must stand. A lot. Trouble is, four decades of standing on her feet all day took a toll on her hips. When she retired as principal of Wartburg Central Middle School last December, the 63-year-old Sumner was hoping to enjoy an active retirement of exercise, hiking and maybe even scuba diving in addition to her new role as a substitute teacher at Heritage Middle School in Blount County. Joining a Lenoir City health club, she began a serious exercise program. Before long, however, she was sidelined by constant hip pain. “I don’t know what happened – I don’t know if something I did precipitated it – because I was into really strenuous hourlong circuit, little bit of cross-ﬁt, workouts three times a week,” she recalls. “But my hips started bothering me and even with the anti-inﬂammatory medications, there was still pain when I would walk or sit down or get up. Lying down in bed was about the only thing that eased it.” She turned to Dr. Ryan Dabbs, an orthopedic surgeon at Parkwest Medical Center for help. “That pain was slowing her down from doing the things that she wanted to be able to do,” said Dabbs, adding that Sumner’s hip pain was Ryan Dabbs, MD not caused by exercise but the result of the wear and tear of osteoarthritis. “She was having trouble walking, she couldn’t exercise. That was her biggest problem – not being able

to participate in her daily activities because of the pain in her hip. She knew she was ready to pursue hip replacement surgery.” But unlike most total hip replacements in which the surgeon accesses the hip joint from the back (posterior approach) or side (lateral approach), Dabbs took a different route – via the front of Sumner’s hip joint. Known as a direct anterior approach (DAA), the technique has multiple beneﬁts, including less pain, faster recovery and less chance of dislocation. The technique enabled Dabbs to reach Sumner’s hip joint without detaching the gluteal muscle – the most important muscles for hip function – from the pelvis or femur. “The direct anterior method has less muscle damage because it is a true muscle-sparing approach,” said Dabbs. “That speeds up the recovery because patients don’t have to heal the muscles that may have to be cut or torn by a

different approach. They respond much quicker to therapy after the surgery is done. Also, there are much less restrictive hip precautions postoperatively and after a few weeks most people have no restrictions at all.” Sumner’s surgery took only about an hour that Friday morning last October. By 2 p.m., she was up on a walker. She was discharged from Parkwest three days later. “I gave up the walker for a cane, and after about a week, unless I was going out of the house, I used the cane,” said Sumner. “That’s how quick my recovery really was!” She breezed through the scheduled six-week rehabilitation in four weeks, saying she rehab staff hailed her as their “star student.” “I can’t say enough about the people at the rehab center. They were awesome!” she said. “They were really good. They didn’t expect me to do anything that hurt but pushed me. That’s what I need. I’m

one of those who needs someone who challenges me and pushes me and makes me do it.” Another plus of the direct anterior approach, said Dabbs, is that there are no positional restrictions or precautions to follow to prevent a hip dislocation. The more conventional posterior and lateral approaches carry numerous lifelong restrictions such as: don’t bend the hip more than 90 degrees, cross your operated leg over the other, turn your operated leg inward and bend over. Despite such obvious advantages, only about 20 percent of the 332,000 total hip replacements performed in the United States last year used the direct anterior approach. “Five years ago, that was more like 5 percent; so it’s gone up 15 percent in the past ﬁve years, mainly because of public interest and how well people are doing after they have that approach,” said Dabbs. “I like to use the anterior ap-

proach for every patient for which it is suitable,” he added. “Almost any patient can have that approach, depending on their type of arthritis and the size of their bones.” Surprisingly, the direct anterior approach is not a new concept. Introduced from Europe, it was first used in the United States in the 1970s. “The approach has been around for decades, but it has come back around as a new popular approach because we have new instruments and new (operating) tables that make it easier,” explained Dr. Dabbs. “So there is a resurgence of interest in it because people want to get back to the sports and activities that they enjoy doing.” That’s what Sumner had in mind for her retirement. “I’ve done really well,” says Sumner, who wears a fitness bracelet to monitor her activity level. “The last time I was in the gym, I did a mile on the recumbent bike, a mile on the treadmill and 15 staircases up and down. And when I’m working, I do close to 10,000 steps a day. I have even done a couple of short hikes – half-mile and three-quarters of a mile, not real strenuous ground or anything. But Dr. Dabbs said I could do anything.” In fact, she’s already making plans to celebrate the one-year anniversary of her new hip. “My sister and I would like to hike Mount LeConte,” she said without hesitation. “We’re going to train this summer and do it this fall. And I might go scuba diving again if I can talk my sister into it.” “I’ve been really pleased with the result,” she added. “I don’t have hip pain at all. I don’t know if I would’ve done it sooner – but it would’ve been nice to have had this kind of flexibility when I was younger and a lot more active. I thought about that a lot. But I am happy with the way things turned out.”

After the surgery … Advice from the AAOS tions that can be done to make your home easier to navigate during recovery: ■ Securely fastened safety bars or handrails in your shower or bath ■ Secure handrails along all stairways ■ A stable chair for your early recovery with a ﬁrm seat cushion (that allows your knees to remain lower than your hips), a ﬁrm back and two arms ■ A raised toilet seat ■ A stable shower bench or chair for bathing ■ A long-handled sponge and shower hose ■ A dressing stick, a sock aid and a long-handled shoe horn for putting on and taking off shoes and socks without excessively bending your new hip ■ A reacher that will allow you to grab objects without excessive bending of your hips

■ Firm pillows for your chairs, sofas, and car that enable you to sit with your knees lower than your hips ■ Removal of all loose carpets and electrical cords from the areas where you walk in your home The AAOS also recommends setting up a “recovery center” where you will spend most of your time. Your phone, television remote control, reading materials and medications should all be placed within easy reach. Your success will depend in large measure on how well you follow your orthopaedic surgeon’s instructions regarding home care during the first few weeks after surgery. Be sure to follow your surgeon’s direction on wound care, eat a balanced diet and drink plenty of fluids. Exercise is another critical component of home care, particularly during the first few weeks

after surgery. You should be able to resume most normal light activities of daily living within 3 to 6 weeks. Some discomfort with activity and at night is common for several weeks. The AAOS says your activity program should include: ■ A graduated walking program to slowly increase your mobility, initially in your home and later outside.

■ Resuming other normal household activities, such as sitting, standing and climbing stairs. ■ Speciﬁc exercises several times a day to restore movement and strengthen your hip. You probably will be able to perform the exercises without help, but you may have a physical therapist help you at home or in a therapy center the ﬁrst few weeks after surgery.

So what can you expect AFTER a total hip replacement? Well, don’t expect to go skydiving. Most surgeons advise against high-impact activities like running, jogging or jumping. Realistically, however, you should be able to enjoy walking, swimming, golf, driving, hiking, biking, dancing and other low-impact activities without pain. Of course, you must first recover. To do that, you will need help for several weeks with daily living activities such as cooking, shopping, bathing and laundry. Talk with your orthopaedic surgeon’s office or the hospital’s discharge planner to make advance arrangements to have someone to help you face the challenges you’ll find waiting at home or, if needed, extended care facility.

I was responsible for keeping the plane in the air.â&#x20AC;? He says when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re 18, you can picture yourself zooming down and getting the enemy. He was OK with dropping bombs on large targets like oil refineries, but he has some remorse. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I regret when we were ordered to drop incendiary bombs,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was really sad about that mission.â&#x20AC;? Innes was prepping for another mission on the day the first atomic bomb was

dropped on Hiroshima in August 1945. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were ready for takeoff when the announcement came that my mission was canceled and the bomb had been dropped. I came home as soon as I could after that.â&#x20AC;? Before the trip back to the U.S., Innes met some missionaries in Tokyo who were stationed in Hiroshima. They had been away when the bomb was dropped, but their entire congregation had been wiped out. They saw his uniform and asked why he did it. Though he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t personally responsible, it was an emotional time for Innes. Two years later he was offered the rank of captain, but he was ready to hang up his wings. Once home, Innes devoted his life to education. He earned his doctorate in educational psychology from the University of Tennessee and worked in education until retiring 30 years ago. These days Innes focuses on health, spirituality, family and fun. He says he is busy every day and looks at life with a sense of humor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell you what I did yesterday, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m busy today.â&#x20AC;?

Born in Minnesota, Innes says he was raised one mile too far from Lake Wobegon to be above average. Look it up. Innes spends his time gardening and woodworking and says he can still ice skate and ski, but he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. He works out three times a week to stay fit. That could explain why, at age 89, he moves and thinks like a much younger man. He and

wife Lois raised eight children between them, and the family is coming to Knoxville this week for Innesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 90th birthday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My wife helps keep me alive. I take a nap every morning, but I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let it go too long because it will interfere with my afternoon nap,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These days I get way more respect than I deserve.â&#x20AC;?

Lovely laborers By Cindy Taylor Word around Halls is that if Shelba Murphyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s photo isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t in the Shopper, then there must not be anything going on. While that may be true, it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t because Murphy seeks the spotlight. It just seems to follow where she goes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have so many family connections having been born here and living here all my life that most everyone knows me,â&#x20AC;? she said. A Halls native, Murphy was actively involved in the community through the PTA when her children were in Halls schools. She was instrumental in forming the first girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; softball league in Halls and coached when her daughter was playing. This

was the beginning of the current Halls softball program. In 2005, the Halls Crossroads Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s League was formed. Murphy saw even more opportunities for service through the league and immediately became a member. As a full-time community volunteer, she continues much of her service through the league as its president. The league operates the Halls Crossroads Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s League Closet ministry serving residents in Halls, Powell, Corryton, Maynardville and North Knoxville. Members of the league volunteer at Tennova Residential Hospice in Halls, have contributed $5,000 toward the purchase of the

land for Clayton Park and oversee the Thomas Hall cemetery. The league also supports the Halls Food Pantry, Halls Welfare and Halls Outdoor Classroom and awards two scholarships each year to deserving senior girls at Halls High School. They organize community litter clean-ups, are members of the Adopt-a-Road program and have sponsored placing park benches in the Halls Greenway Park and throughout the community. In just the past seven years, the league has given more than 47,000 hours to the community and donated more than $125,000 to community programs for a total impact on the Halls

The whole group then will paddle downriver and clean up along the banks from Volunteer Landing to the base of the River Bluff property to get the river ready for the summer paddling season. Keep Knoxville Beautiful will bring its trailer to collect the trash. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know from experience that conservation and recreation go hand-inhand,â&#x20AC;? says Evans. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When people get out and play on land or water, they truly appreciate the natural assets

we have in this region. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For Legacy Parks, outdoor recreation has been the perfect way in which to promote land conservation and expand our parks and trails. The SweetWater Clean Sweep River Clean-up this weekend will combine good work and good fun. What could be better?!â&#x20AC;? The cleanup will end at 4 p.m., and all the paddlers are invited to return to the Adventure Center to celebrate at the SweetWater After Party along with volunteers from the dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s events. SweetWater will be the featured refreshments. Participants in Clean Sweep will be eligible to win a SweetWater paddleboard at the after party.

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

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

Marvin West

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

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

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

Proposals for coliseum, Henley draw mixed response A city consultant’s report that suggests five significant steps to enhance downtown development was met with Bill expressions of interest, sugDockery gestions and complaints. Mayor Madeline Rogero and her staff recently presented a report by the Urban Land Institute.

Whetsel said the top priorities were engaging a master developer for Jackson Avenue and purchasing the court building from the state before an August deadline. A third priority was engaging the community in the remaining elements of the ULI recommendations. Questions and comments seemed to focus primar To next page

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

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

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

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

and general election to fill the seat within 120 days of the vacancy, which means voters may fill it by September. Meanwhile, Knox County Commission may name an interim replacement for a few months. Lou Moran is mentioned. Several persons are expected to seek election to Haynes’ seat, which includes overwhelmingly Republican Farragut and West Knox County. Names being mentioned include Jason Zachary, who ran for Congress last year, former Farragut Mayor Eddy Ford and school board member Karen Carson. Others will emerge. ■ Mayor Rogero’s budget message will be noon Wednesday, April 29, at Lakeshore Park. Getting there at 11:30 is a smart idea for good seating. The public is invited. If your printed invitation didn’t arrive, don’t worry – you can attend anyway as it is a public meeting.

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

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

gested that the price might be too high to raze the auditorium/coliseum and take the property for other uses. “I’ve lived in Knoxville for 60 some years and was working with KCDC when all this took place,” Gaither said.

He returned to the mayor’s office eight years later, and things were much calmer than in his first term. He brought people like Wanda Moody, Wanda Teague and Bob Booker into city government. He merged the school systems by a charter amendment to remove the city from operating a school system. It was fitting that, two months ago, the tennis courts at Tyson Park were named in his honor and he was able to attend. He was a dedicated tennis advocate and loved sports. ■ State Rep.

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

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

Adjusting out of Africa By Cindy Taylor Reid and Robin Beebe and their five sons, Mason, Franklin, Weston, Braden and adopted Ghanaian Godwin, served as missionaries with Feeding the Orphans (FTO) and Meaningful Life International for two years in Ghana, Africa. They had planned this as a lifelong commitment and sold all their possessions here before making the trip. Due to health issues with their oldest son, Mason, which occurred during a furlough here last summer, the family was advised that a move back to America was necessary. While this broke seven hearts, the family realized it was a necessary move. “We were fortunate to be in America when Mason suffered a partial lung collapse,” said Reid. “If we had been in Africa, the outcome could have been much different.” The family is in agreement on the hardest part of coming back. “The most difficult thing in going to Africa was leaving those we were close to,” said Reid. “The culture there was so different, it was hard to establish relationships on a deeper level for a while.” “For me it was difficult being surrounded by so much physical need in Ghana,” said Robin. “Things we would see there are unimaginable here.”

The cruellest month Now it was the day of Preparation for the Passover; and it was about noon. [Pilate] said to the Jews, “Here is your King!” They cried out, “Away with him! ... Crucify him!” (John 19:14-15a NRSV) April is the cruellest month, breeding Lilacs out of the dead land, Mixing memory and desire … (“The Waste Land,” T.S. Eliot, 1922)

While moving back to the United States after living with harsh conditions in Africa would seem to be a relief, the Beebes are finding much of the transition back to their past way of life difficult. They say that adjusting to a life where so many things are readily available isn’t that easy. The boys say it is sometimes difficult to relate to peers who have not had similar experiences. The couple continues to serve locally with FTO, where Reid volunteers as Director

of Ministry Advancement. He has just finished overseeing the Forget the Frock fundraiser, the largest to benefit FTO. The campaign was based out of Heavens Presents screen printing in Powell. Owner Alex McCarty runs the shop and printed shirts for the fundraiser as well as offered his space for storage and shipping. Mason has had no further health issues and is looking at colleges once he graduates high school this year. The family members are

all attempting to find their footing back in the States while continuing their mission to be a blessing. “Our hearts were in Ghana, but we are trying to be at peace with what God may have for us here,” said Robin. “Everyone who supports FTO and missionaries is doing ministry with us. We hope our boys will grow up and live a bit differently because they have seen God’s faithfulness.” Info: www.feedingthe orphans.org.

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

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

Silver and songs By Cindy Taylor The Silvertones, a senior group of singers and performers at Beaver Dam Baptist Church, have been making beautiful music for more than 20 years. The group began under the tutelage of music director Mike Bundon, and the musical tradition continues with the leadership of current director Ryan Flint. “We are off to a great start this year with several new members and our faithful regulars,” said Flint. “We have a great time every time we are together. I love the way they worship the Lord whether in rehearsal Ryan Flint or performing.” Flint says he is looking forward to taking the group to a Smokies game again this year since last year was such a blast. The choir performs as a part of Tune-Share, traveling around the Knoxville area to share their faith and energy. They have often performed the national anthem at Tennessee Smokies baseball games and will share their talents

“highlight of his career” and was proud to represent the state of Tennessee. The festival featured Chanticleer, a San Francisco-based Grammy awardwinning ensemble called “the world’s reigning male chorus” by The New Yorker magazine. Participants received personal instructional time with the group during the conference. One student called Chanticleer

the “Leonardo Di Vinci of music.” Three of the Powell students received private voice lessons from Chanticleer members and hope that what they gleaned from the sessions will take them to another level in their singing. The students were impressed with the group and how down-to-earth they were. One student said that members would sit next to them during rehearsals, and just to hear them sing up-close was inspiring. Another student commented on how the rehearsals were long and strenuous, but students always wanted more practice time. “The

The group, directed by Jim Kennedy, was recognized last year at a conference hosted by UT, where they were the demonstration choir at the event. Organizers were impressed and extended an invitation to the group to attend that National Youth Choral Festival. Powell High and nine other choirs met in California to learn and perform together as one, massive choir featuring 300 voices. Kennedy called the event the

festival gave us the potential to be better,” said one student. Prior to the festival, the group toured San Francisco, visiting the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz and tasting local cuisine. When asked if any of them hope to return, the group replied “yes” in unison. The students enjoyed the laidback pace of California and seeing a different lifestyle than they have experienced in Powell. The singers traveled to Kentucky last weekend to hear Chanticleer in concert at St. Francis in the Fields Episcopal Church in Harrods Creek.

Powell High senior McKenzie Bedwell signed to play softball with Cleveland State next season. T h e Panthers pitcher, who also plays first base, selected Bedwell the school because of the nice campus and welcoming feel from the coaching staff. While at Cleveland State McKenzie plans to study business. Her high school coach, Jeff Inman, said, “I’m proud

of McKenzie. She’s been a valuable part of this team. She works hard, never misses practices and is a consistent hitter.” Joining McKenzie at the signing were her parents Jerry Bidwell and Lisa Lobetti, her stepmom Tonya Bidwell, sister Marena Bidwell, grandmother Debbie Weaver, papaw Gene Bidwell and aunt Janet Loveday. Smiling down on McKenzie was her late grandmother, Glenda (Poochie) Bedwell, whom she considered her biggest fan.

their lead with two runs in the sixth. A wild pitch scored Levi Everett for the inning’s first run. The Panthers and Cumberland County exchanged the lead five times during the tournament, but Powell ended up on top with an 11-7 win in seven innings. The Panthers scored on a two-run double by Joe

Stucky, scoring Logan Ward and Hunter Long. Riley Cooper paced Panthers at the plate. Cooper went 3-4, drove in one and scored two runs. He doubled in the second inning and singled in the sixth inning. Cumberland County had no answer for Hunter Long, who kept runners off the base paths during his ap-

pearance. Hunter Long held Cumberland County hitless over one and 1/3 innings, allowed no earned runs, walked none and struck out two. Powell scored three runs of their own in the first and again on a two-run single by Noah Malicoat and an error. A key sixth-inning rally gave Powell the lead for good.

Germantown managed just one hit off of Malicoat, who allowed no earned runs, walked one and struck out four during his three innings of work. Price got the win for the

Panthers. He allowed four runs over four innings. Price struck out four, walked six and gave up four hits. Powell scored two runs in each of the second, third and sixth. In the second, the Panthers scored on a two-run double by Malicoat, plating Cooper and Joe Stucky. The Panthers increased

Not your average field trip

Thanks to a grant from the Junior League of Knoxville, a group of Advanced Placement Environmental Science students at Powell High School went on field trip to the UT Turf Science department. It was an opportunity for a hands-on experience in a possible STEM career field. The visit allowed students to see some of the concepts discussed in their high school classes – a foundation to be built upon at the university level and ultimately put to use for interesting and exciting career opportunities. The students interacted with professors and grad students in small groups, using equipment and discussing programs/majors and career opportunities with the mentors.

Blake Lively (with Michiel Huisman) plays a woman who stopped aging at 29 in “The Age of Adaline.”

Jakob Salvati plays an 8-year-old who will move mountains to bring his father home from World War II in “Little Boy.”

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Farragut High School chorus looks forward to performing Haydn with members of the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra next week. Photo by Kenton Deitch

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Rotarians across the globe have spent $1.3 billion to eradicate worldwide polio, a disease that the United States has eliminated, but the work is not done, Rotary International’s presidentelect said. John Germ, who is a member of the Rotary Club of Chattanooga and is slated to become Rotary International president in 2016-2017, recently spoke to the Rotary Club of Knoxville and congratulated members for all the work they do. Germ said the recent outbreak in California of measles, a disease that had been eradicated in the U.S. in 2000, shows that those fighting against polio must be vigilant. “Another disease we did not have in the United States. It (the measles) came just like that. Polio is a plane ride away,” Germ said. “You know what I’m talking about when I tell you it is easy to transport that disease, that virus. You can’t check for it at security.

For more than 20 years, customers were greeted by co-manager and luthier Rick Wolfe, who stood at his workbench in view of the front door, re-stringing instruments, “lowering the action” or installing pickups to “electrify” acoustic instruments. Everyone wanted Wolfe to be the one to lay hands on their instruments, so much so that he’d have guitars “stacked up like cordwood” awaiting his expert attention. On the wall facing his workbench, Wolfe posted labels addressed to the store, precious keepsakes Tami intends to hold on to: “Pink and Green,” “Mr. Bud Green,” “Bud and Grin,” “Pick and Grind” and even “Attention: Diaper Bag Buyer.” Wolfe took delight in sharing each “joke du jour.” Some dark comedy at Pick ’n’ Grin: A newspaper clipping on a back wall told of a man in Ohio who bludgeoned his wife to death with a banjo.

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

Water: The key to healthy weight loss By Dr. Donald G. Wegener It may come as a surprise to you, but water is an essential part of any successful weight-loss program. In fact, restricting your intake of this lifegiving liquid while you diet can have serious consequences. For Dr. Wegener instance, here’s what can happen. First, by not drinking sufficient amounts of water, you can actually cause your body to retain fluid. This occurs because the less water you drink the more your body feels deprived and the more water it stores. As your body stores water, you become puffy and swollen. The extra weight you think of as fat may not be fat at all but a result of fluid retention. Water, by the way, weighs more than body fat; it also alleviates hunger. Second, restricting your water intake promotes fat deposits. Since your body uses water, as the major component of blood, to transport nutrients and wastes, a lack of it can

cause fats and other toxins that normally are disposed of to remain in your body, including that dimpled fat commonly referred to as cellulite. Dieters and non-dieters alike must establish what I call a “fluid balance,” where the amount of water going into the body approximately equals the amount of water being excreted. You won’t have to consume gallons of water to find this balance. Generally speaking, 10 eight-ounce glasses of water daily are sufficient. Once you have reached this fluid balance or “breakthrough point,” you’ll see the incredible difference water can make in your diet program and health. When your body is in fluid balance, pounds and inches begin to disappear, providing, of course, you are also reducing your caloric intake. Just as water can wash away the dirt from the outside of your body when you bathe, taken internally it washes away toxins and allows your liver to process unwanted fats. Next time: Comfortably increase your water intake

Enjoying Dallas Cowboy Jason Witten’s presentation at the Women’s Fund Lunch are former University of Tennessee Vols head coach Phillip Fulmer; the speaker’s wife, Michelle Witten; Vicky Fulmer; and the Fulmers’ daughter Allison Fulmer Mahan.

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

At the luncheon: Robert Baird, Kris Epley and Pam Bullock for glass artist and sculptor Tommie Rush, who created the awards given each grant recipient. Then, in a move that had to break any who would stereotype a “women’s” luncheon, former University of Tennessee Vols head football coach Phillip Fulmer took the podium to introduce the guest speaker, Dallas Cowboys tight end and former Vol Jason Witten. Witten and his wife, Michelle, are also philanthropists and founders of the SCORE Foundation, which provides support and assistance for families and individuals affected by domestic violence. Witten said he grew up in a family where domestic violence was part of life for his mother and older brothers until he moved to

his grandparents’ home in Elizabethton. “That move brought my brothers and me full circle,” Witten told the sold-out crowd. “I went from living with an example of how not to be a father and a man to an example of how to be one.” Receiving grants for 2015 were: ■ A Hand Up for Women ■ The Restoration House of East Tennessee ■ The Salvation Army ■ Boys and Girls Club of Elizabethton/Carter County ■ Branches of Monroe County Inc. ■ Centro Hispano ■ Red Legacy Recovery ■ STAND ■ Tusculum College

‘Automata’

a thrill for car lovers

By Anne Hart Anyone who has ever fallen truly in love with a certain style or make of automobile has met their match in Knoxville artist and sculptor Clark Stewart. Stewart, however, has taken his love for “Song of the Woods” is automobiles far beyond the imagination of the title of this fantasy most of us in a series of fantasy creations of automobile carved classic cars he has crafted using everything from mahogany. from an old birch cutting board to scrap aluminum and even velvet. Many of the cars will be on display starting Friday and continuing through the month of May at the District Gallery in Bearden. A retired University of Tennessee professor of drawing and painting, Stewart says his love affair with automobiles began when he purchased a classic MGTC as a teenager. “I took it apart to the last bolt and screw and put it all back together again. No one could believe a 19-year-old could do that.” Ah, but when we learn that the 19-year-old Stewart lived in California’s Newport Beach area, famous for its “muscle cars” of the ’60s and other classic beauties on four wheels, it all begins to make sense, for Stewart’s cars are as marvelous as those. “Automata” is what he calls his figurative collection. It is colorful and amazing in every way. There are fantasy renditions of the Porsche, Jaguar, Bugatti, MG, Alfa Romeo and others. None is true to the original. They are better. More colorful. More interesting. More beautiful in both design and craftsmanship. And they are flawless. For if ever a perfectionist existed, it is Clark Stewart. An art collector himself, Stewart says the collection he and his wife, Judy, have amassed from around the world “is a collection of souls. Art represents the best part of people’s souls. Whatever concrete thing you make, that’s the best part of you. And nice cars have a soul to them.” Stewart says he made the first car “imagining I was designing in the ’30s, and when I finished, I thought, ‘That was fun,’ and I just kept on, and now I have all of these and a sketchbook full of ideas.” During his 42 years at UT, Stewart created drawings and Artist and sculptor Clark paintings that were shown in more than 200 exhibitions Stewart with two of his fanworldwide and are included in many private and museum tasy cars, loosely based on collections. classics of the 1930s and tiIf you’re a lover of motorcycles, don’t despair.

home. The couple kept the beautiful stained-glass windows and hardwood floors and renovated using periodstyle wood, stone and brick. As empty nesters, they are perfectly suited by the twobedroom house. “We have lived here during the renovation and love it here,” he said. “We find it impossible to be in our house and not be in a good mood. We plan for this to be our last home.” The Klonaris’ home is on the Historic Fourth and Gill 25th Anniversary Tour of Homes, a featured event of the Dogwood Arts Festival that coincides with open gardens and walking trails. Jim and Lori’s gardens are currently open for

When Jim Klonaris first spotted his home in the historic Fourth and Gill neighborhood, it was love at first sight. For wife Lori it was sight unseen. Klonaris made an offer and put everything in place to purchase the house before he told Lori, who was on a weeklong mission trip at the time. “Fortunately, my wife has complete trust in me,” said Klonaris. “All she requested was that I create for her a sanctuary in the backyard.” But the couple did so much more than that during renovations, which they are close to completing threeand-a-half years since the purchase. They have done most of the work themselves with the help of friends, calling in experts only when needed. The couple tried West Knox living but never really felt at home there, and it was far from their business. As owners of Café 4 on Market Square, they became enamored with downtown Knoxville. They looked at condo and loft living in the area but really wanted outdoor space. “My son had bought a house in the Fourth and Gill area, and I found a fi xer-upper close to his and planned to flip it.”
