Orange Pearl takes new direction

By Sarah Connatser The Orange Pearl Salon and Spa has been Powell’s downtown beauty center for a long time. But after owner Monica Stecker endured some life hardships, she began to rethink what she really wanted to do with her business – was her direction hair and nails or was something else calling her?

After a rendezvous with her friend and former employee Whitney Boozer, the pair decided to begin anew with Orange Pearl, turning the business into a partnership. Their focus now, however, is massage therapy, and the official name change reflects the transformation.

According to Stecker and Boozer, massage therapy helps blood circulation in the body, provides stress relief and improves immunity.

Stecker and Boozer seem to be a great team – Boozer said that Stecker was her inspiration for going to massage therapy school after leaving the nails business several years ago. “I had to do it – I had (Stecker) depending on me,� Boozer said of going back to school.

Arnold tells leaders they must ‘fight’

By Betsy Pickle On the day after the Super Bowl, Pastor Daryl Arnold turned on the TV expecting to see interviews with the players who had fought so valiantly on the field the night before. Instead, the media was focused on the halftime show Daryl Arnold and what pop superstar Beyonce wore, said and did.

At the city’s recent Neighborhood Awards & Networking Luncheon, Arnold told leaders from 100 neighborhoods across the city that he wasn’t there to talk about halftime, that he was there to “cel-

ebrate your fight on the field.â€? “Because if we’re going to be a great city, if we’re going to be a great community, if we’re going to have great neighborhoods ‌ then you’re going to have to fight for those neighborhoods to be great,â€?

Arnold told the crowd at the Knoxville Convention Center.

Arnold, pastor of the Overcoming Believers Church, knows a few things about bringing community together. He took on that job in the wake of the shooting death of Fulton High School sophomore Zaevion Dobson in December. “Zaevion’s death really just raised to the surface something that has been happening a long time,� said Arnold, a Chattanooga native and Knoxville College graduate who started OBC 13 years

ago. “A long time people have been dying in our communities. “I’ve buried well over 70 people, most of them very young people, in 13 years. ‌ The good news is that although it’s been a fight, the fight has been worth it.â€?

He said that two years into his Knoxville ministry he began to turn his attention “from trying to build the church to trying to build the community because as I read in the scriptures and I started thinking about the life of Christ, Christ was never trying to build a church. He was always trying to transform the lives of people in the community.�

Noting that he is a preacher, not a politician, Arnold used his strengths in his keynote address.

He described certain societal ills

as “weapons of mass destruction that have been designed to destroy our communities.�

No. 1 is “a principality,� he said. “There’s a real devil that is trying to destroy our communities.

When children kill children, that’s the devil.�

Another “WMDâ€? is poverty. “Within a five-mile radius of my church, 211 Harriet Tubman ‌ the average income is $9,800 a year annual household. Something’s not right about that. “We’ve got to figure out a way to bring jobs into our communities. We’ve got to figure out a way to lift our communities up when it comes to economic success and stability.â€?

Back to School

UT Engineering staffer fights pain in neck with classwork, homework When Brian Shupe called the Fort Sanders Therapy Center a “school” for herniated discs, he was only half joking.

When the 47-year-old armchair quarterback lofted his best Peyton Manning pass to his younger brother last summer, he thought he might have torn his rotator cuff. But a trip to an orthopedic specialist returned an unexpected diagnosis: a herniated disc in his neck.

Doubtful that the ache deep in his shoulder, numbness in his arm and tingling in his fingertips could have anything to do with his neck, he sought a second opinion from a neurosurgeon.

“He told me that the herniated disc can cause pain in the shoulder and it can certainly cause the numbness down to the fingertips,” said Shupe, director of development for University of Tennessee’s College of Engineering.

“He said surgery is an option but recommended treating the symptoms with physical therapy because the pain is from the herniated disc. He said I need to learn how to take care of this, and get serious about taking care of it.”

“When you have that kind of moment, you realize that it is a part of the aging process and the deterioration that comes with it. You can’t go out and do things like you did when you were 25. That was the bad news, but the good news was there are things we can do to stay healthy.

“So I went to Herniated Disc School,” Shupe said with a laugh, adding that he was paired with Erin McCallum, a licensed physical therapist who holds a clinical doctorate in physical therapy as well as being a certified lymphedema therapist.

Twice a week for three weeks, Shupe and McCallum would work 45 minutes to an hour. When he was evaluated on his first visit last Dec. 22, Shupe rated his pain level a 7 on the 10-point pain scale. After his last treatment Jan. 18, he assigned his pain a zero on the scale.

“I learned a lot more about how I can take better care of myself with stretching exercises and with posture,” he said. “I got the little lumbar pillow to put in the small of my back when I’m sitting for long periods of time. All of those things were conspiring to cause pain in my shoulder and subsequent numbness in my arm and fingers.”

McCallum said Shupe’s situation was not

that unusual considering his job which, like millions of others, requires long periods of sitting either at a desk, in a car or passenger jet.

“We see many patients with neck pain, especially in people who work desk-type jobs where they are sitting or driving the majority of their work day, like Brian does,” said McCallum. “Posture plays a big role in this, and especially now that many people’s jobs require extended amounts of time sitting at a computer, or looking down at a smart phone.”

In one research study, reported in a March 2015 issue of Spine, more than 70 percent of people in their 20s had disc bulges in their neck but none had neck pain.

“Many of our patients are referred to us with a diagnosis of ‘neck pain’ but not anything as specific as a cervical herniation,” said McCallum. “Part of our job is to determine if the patient, in fact, needs further testing, like an MRI, or a referral to a specialist if physical therapy is not having the desired results.”

The physical therapist’s goal, McCallum said, is simply to determine what functional limitations each patient has, what activities and/or positions cause them to feel worse, and devise a plan that will improve their

own, but what has really made a huge difference in my confidence level is the pain relief I get when I keep up my routine. I have had no numbness since I started working with Erin.”

McCallum says Shupe owes much of his success to himself. “Brian was very compliant with both attending his treatments and performing his exercises at home,” she said.

“He listened carefully to what I told him, and really made an effort to take that education back to his workplace, in order to prevent further injury down the road.”

Shupe says the therapy sessions with McCallum have taught him to be “more aware of myself as an aging Brian Shupe participated in physiadult, and that a lot of how we feel cal therapy at Fort Sanders Regionis up to us and how we maintain al to completely eliminate pain our bodies. So it was a very good caused by a herniated disk. experience. Erin is a great physical therapist. She’s very good at what she does and has a good demeanor about her. We communicate very well and she really knows what she’s doing. I learned a lot about how to take care of myself.”

He admits that he was a taken aback pain and return them to their prior level of when his visit to the neurosurgeon ended in an order for physical therapy instead of a function.

“Brian’s treatment plan included ther- date scheduled for surgery.

Fort Sanders Therapy Center turns heads array of rehabilitation specialties, our goal is to provide the highest quality of care and services in the most convenient and efficient manner. Covenant Therapy Centers participate in Focus on Therapeutic Outcomes Inc. (FOTO), the nation’s largest results database for physical and occupational therapy.

The Centers have received multiple awards for excellent patient outcomes and for exceeding national averages for functional results.

Fort Sanders Therapy Center offers an array of physical therapy areas, including:

■ Orthopedics ■ Sports Medicine ■ Manual Therapy ■ Limited Adult Neuro ■ Spinal Rehab & Back Education ■ Arthritis In addition, the Fort Sanders Therapy Centers downtown and in Powell offer treatment programs for lymphedema, a swelling usually occurring in one arm or leg and the result of an accumulation of lymphatic fluid in the superficial tissues just below the skin. Lymphedema can be caused by congenital malformations of the lymphatic system or by secondary reasons

such as following trauma, surgery, radiation, inflammation or infection. All patients receive individual instruction on a home program to improve and reduce their swelling, including selfmanual lymph drainage and self-bandaging.

All three Fort Sanders Therapy Center locations also offer vestibular rehabilitation, an exercise-based approach aimed at eliminating or minimizing balance deficits and dizziness associated with vestibular disorders such as vertigo, dizziness, lightheadedness, motion sensitivity, nausea, imbalance or falls.

Sometimes, the problems are

the result of an inner ear infection, but many times the cause is a vestibular, or inner ear disorder.

This type of rehab is provided by a specially-trained physical therapist. The therapist assists a person in compensating for a loss in the vestibular system. The exercise program may include balance exercises, eye exercises, a technique called the Epley maneuver, and repetitive exercises to reduce vertigo symptoms. The rehab program is individually designed to meet each person’s needs. Treatment is typically short-term, with goals achieved within a few sessions.

Arnold, the youngest of ďŹ ve children raised by a single mother, said parenting is another landmine. “We all know that people who are raised up in (singleparent) homes ‌ are more likely to go to jail, ‌ more likely to unk out of school, ‌ more likely to enter into gangs and into violence. We understand that. “But you know what? My child is your child, and your child is my child because we’re supposed to be a community.â€?

Pain is another thing wracking neighborhoods, especially in the inner city.

Arnold said that after talking with a Vietnam War veteran who suffers from PTSD, he thought about the trauma imposed on youngsters routinely subjected to gun violence. “Don’t you know that that’s going to follow our young people throughout their lives? So we’ve got to be very careful about judging people because they have not reached the status that we think they should reach. You don’t know what they’re dealing with. I be-

Women are winning Women are winning. It is not even close, as in no contest.

Women have the undivided attention of the University of Tennessee athletics department. Behind the walls, the immediate goal is no more controversy.

Enough already. Maybe you noticed how the AD tiptoed around the new Athletics Hall of Fame by precisely equalizing the number of men and women to be honored.

Simple system. Just leave out A.W. Davis and Heath Shuler and a few dozen other stars.

The hall is part of the One Tennessee merger of men’s and women’s sports.

Generally speaking, the women did not appreciate

Marvin West

the watering down of their identity. There had been a Lady Volunteers hall of fame since the turn of the century.

The women’s hall of fame was always politically correct. It inducted former UT president Edward J. Boling in the inaugural class. Soon thereafter selectors saluted Dr. Joe Johnson and Dr. Howard Aldmon.

Dave Hart is not a hall of famer. It isn’t because the women don’t like him.

It’s because he is still here.

Eligibility didn’t begin until five years after departure.

How strange it is that the combined hall has equal numbers. Volunteer football men were grinding out full seasons, one without permitting a point, when college women were still restricted to “play days.”

Indeed, there was a time when competitive sports were thought to be entirely too rigorous for the fairer sex. No sweat. No bruises.

Heaven help us, they can’t be crashing into each other.

It is mostly a secret but UT women dabbled with basketball in 1903. They lost both games. The opener was a 10-1 setback at the hands of Maryville College. There was a time when I knew who

scored that one point.

There were worse embarrassments. Tennessee lost four years in a row to Farragut School of Concord.

There was a humbling defeat at the hands of Central High of Fountain City (before annexation).

University women finally won a game in 1910, abandoned basketball for a decade, tried it again for a few years and surrendered to nationwide hostility toward women’s sports. Victorian notions of docile femininity forced some great athletes into cheerleading, badminton and croquet. Line dancing came later.

Sports for UT women were reborn quietly in 1958.

A volleyball team appeared.

Few noticed. Basketball resumed in 1960 but they didn’t even keep records.

Ann Baker stirred some excitement in 1964. She was

Change is tough. And any significant road project stirs up angst. But piecemeal solutions are akin to plugging holes in a leaky dike with a finger. If you are not careful, you may soon run out of fingers.

Finite budgets mean road building must be undertaken in a “piecemeal” or project-by-project manner. The important question is where are we going over time?

Hopefully, we are guided in our actions by observing a master plan, attuned to demographic changes and

trends. Eventually the puzzle pieces interlock.

What should we do? We know from the 2010 Census that there has been substantial residential population growth in the northeast quadrant of the city and county. More people means more cars. The 2008 recession slowed that growth somewhat – but the economic wheels have started to turn again. Eastwest routes are limited.

The normal pattern is for the residents to travel west to Broadway, the interstate or the mall shopping area.

More cars means more congestion.

MPC Director Gerald Green agrees we should plan ahead, not just put out fires.

Remember reading “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.” When Alice emerged

from the magical house, she asked the Cheshire Cat, who was sitting in a tree, the key question: “which way should I go?” Flashing his smile, the Cat replied: “It depends on where you want to end up.”

Likewise, from our perch, a Small Area Plan is needed to find our way.

The small area plan should cover transportation management and population-related growth from Tazewell south to Millertown, and generally east of Broadway and I-640 into the county where open farm land entices housing developers to build.

MPC planners working with traffic engineers can create an efficient roadmap for the future. Individual projects will thereafter mesh nicely like gears in a

The program: Powell Business and Professional Association members have come through again to support the club’s signature project – the Teen Driver Awareness program at Powell High School.

PBPA committee chair Sage Kohler announced the need for sponsors at Tuesday’s PBPA meeting.

“The deadline is tomorrow,” she said.

Just look at the sponsors listed above. These businesses have kicked in to pay for prizes like gasoline cards and scholarships totaling $6,000 for graduating seniors.

Kohler says this year’s program is unique. Students will be asked

Frontier Communications Knoxville TVA Credit Union Rusty Wallace Honda to sign commitment cards to drive safely (wear a seatbelt, no texting while driving, etc.). These students will then be eligible for prizes through a random drawing.

Seniors only can compete for scholarships (details below).

The program runs March 23 to April 6, and a letter will be sent home to parents explaining the program in detail.

AAA pays tow bill for wrecks

Planning for traffic growth There have been several controversial road projects in recent years that have stirred different parts of northeast Knoxville neighborhoods to rise up in arms, often on opposite sides of each other. Many are still pending.

Road fi xes like the proposed widening of Washington Pike east of I-640, the possibility of traffic controls at the intersections of Tazewell Pike and Briar Cliff, or at Beverly Road, or Shannondale Road where a school sits, inviting turns near a vision-obscuring hill.

What’s going to happen at the rush-hour-congested Millertown Pike exit? ... or at the intersection at Jacksboro and Tazewell Pike? It’s time to step back and survey the entire field from 10,000 feet.

a really good golfer – on the men’s team. She was also a really good student, first recipient of a Robert R. Neyland Academic Scholarship.

Overall, there was calm or disinterest. In a year’s worth of Daily Beacons, campus newspaper, 196768, there were just two mentions of women’s athletic contests.

U.S. Reps. Patsy T. Mink of Hawaii and Edith S. Green of Oregon kindled the fire. They co-authored legislation that became Title IX, an amendment to the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

President Richard Nixon signed it into law on June 23, 1972. The noble intent was to end gender discrimination in federally funded educational venues. College women seized the athletic opportunity and ran with it.

In 1976, UT christened the women’s athletic de-

“Recently a Shopper News article titled ‘Brantley wants relief for towing customers’ displayed a quote stating that AAA members involved in a crash are charged full price for a tow dispatched by AAA Roadside Assistance,” wrote Stephanie Milani of AAA. “AAA members receive the same roadside assistance benefits in crash situations as they do with a mechanical breakdown. If they are driving – or a passenger in – a type of vehicle covered by their membership plan, the tow dispatched through AAA is paid for by the club up to the number of miles covered on their membership.

“For instance, a AAA Plus member’s passenger car involved in a crash could be towed up to 100 miles from the crash scene with no out-of-pocket expense to the member. In addition, if the member in this situation is a passenger, and the owner is not a member, the vehicle can still be towed under the member’s plan.

“Members and nonmembers alike can see the full AAA Roadside Assistance plans at AAA.com/Benefits, then click on Compare Benefits.”

Swiss timepiece.

One difficulty: MPC is currently understaffed.

Often desirable “extra projects” languish behind day-to-day zoning and site plan review. We could fa-

cilitate MPC action by adding modest funding to hire a temporary consultant or staff member to prepare the Small Area Plan.

POWELL/NORWOOD Shopper news • MARCH 16, 2016 • A-5

Election Day in the rearview mirror A couple of days after the primary, an East Knoxville friend called to ask if I knew what the heck had happened in the First District County Commission race. This politically savvy woman was shocked that Evelyn Gill had beaten out Rick Staples in the Democratic primary. “Rick did everything right,� she said. “He was everywhere, but I didn’t see much of Evelyn. Plus, she had a blonde-headed white girl on her signs.�

Having not yet looked at the numbers, I had no answer. Gill beating Staples was the second-biggest primary election surprise – after Jennifer Owen’s beating out the big money in the District Two school board race – but when I followed the advice of another friend who told me to go look at the individual precincts, the answer was clear as a Smoky Mountain stream: The Bernie Sanders effect.

That seems a little odd, at first blush, since the First District is traditionally dominated by African American voters, a demographic that is going for Hillary Clinton by pretty wide margins, particularly in the South. But except for the Eternal Life Harvest Center on Western Avenue, where Clinton beat Sanders 73-53 (and Staples eked out a 55-50 margin over Gill), the western end of the district was feeling the Bern, and Gill and her husband, the popular entertainment promoter Michael Gill, have been full-on Sanders supporters for months. Her vote totals closely tracked those of Sanders.

The west end trend started with Staples getting wiped out at Sarah Moore Greene, where downtowners vote. The tally there was Sanders 196 – Clinton 147, Gill 224 – Staples 68.

At Fort Sanders it was Bernie 256 – Hillary 56, Gill 204 – Staples 55.

At the O’Conner Center where Parkridge residents vote, Gill beat Staples 22798, outperforming Sanders, who prevailed 193-161 over Clinton. Moving eastward from the gentrified neighborhoods in the west end, Clinton and Staples fared much better.

At Eastport, Clinton wiped Sanders out 333-63 and Staples beat Gill 238125. The result was similar at Fairgarden, where Clinton won 340-90 and Staples prevailed 244-141. At Austin-East, Clinton won 6525, Staples 126-45.

And so it went, with Gill’s success tracking that of

Got news?

Betty Bean Sanders across the district. â– On the Republican side, the most frequent complaint had to do with the long lines on Election Day, and most of the blame was heaped on the Hart Intercivic voting machines, which use a dial system to cast the votes. In some of the larger precincts, voters were still lined up as late as 10 p.m.

Election administrator Cliff Rodgers said expediting the process wasn’t his main concern. “The main things I was concerned about were, are they secure? Are they accurate? Nobody’s ever complained before.�

Rodgers (and others) said that the biggest problem was on the Republican side of the ballot, where there were 14 presidential candidates and 140 would-be delegates to the Republican National Convention to choose from. And after each vote, the machine defaulted back to the top of the list, forcing endless scrolling.

Democrats simply voted for a presidential candidate and left delegate selection to a party caucus.

Knox County Democratic chair Cameron Brooks thinks the Republican way is silly: “They’re putting voters through a big rigmarole by having them sift through a ballot with x names on it for the ego trip of a few. The average voter could care less whether Brian Hornback or Susan Williams goes to the

RNC. For these poor voters to have to sit out there till after 10 o’clock in Farragut is ridiculous. It was a really long ballot. Scrolling down looking for a certain name has to spend a lot of time.�

There’s another factor in the plethora of convention delegate candidates: last year, the General Assembly voted to reduce the signature requirement on qualifying petitions from 100 to 25. State GOP party chair

Ryan Haynes, a former state representative from the Farragut area, is having second thoughts about the change, which he thinks he might have voted for. “I don’t think anybody imagined that we were going to have this result when we reduced the number of signatures, and as party chair, I’d like to see it go back to 100. Funny how your perspective changes as you go through life.�

School bus driver who crashed at Safety City with busload of kids jailed for DUI

By Betty Bean The driver who crashed a bus loaded with 26 Green Magnet School second graders on a field trip to Safety City Thursday, March 10, has been arrested and charged with DUI. No children were injured, but the bus crashed into an entrance gate Hollis Clay Walker, 78, of Powell, was taken to Ft. Sanders Regional Medical Center after the crash. He was arrested upon his release on March 13. The warrant says he was unsteady on his feet, “thick tongued, slurred speech� following the incident.

A post on the Knoxville Police DepartHollis Walker ment Facebook page says Walker was arrested and charged with DUI, reckless endangerment and simple possession.

The day of the incident, Walker was in possession of 69 of 90 Kolonapin pills (a sedative used to treat seizures, panic disorders and anxiety) from a prescription filled earlier in the day. The warrant says he couldn’t remember whether he’d taken pills that morning.

The prescription was not in his name. Walker is being held on a $4,500 bond.

After the crash, the bus rolled onto a small grassy area near the front door of Safety City, and employees there got the children off and moved them to a safe place. Before they could return to the bus, Walker pulled away, sideswiped a fence and came to a stop in the parking lot. Emergency personnel found Walker slumped over the steering wheel and incoherent.

This is not Walker’s first brush with the law. In 2014, General Sessions Court Judge Geoff Emery ordered him to stay out of Walmart and dismissed a theft charge against him after he completed diversion. A charge of DUI by consent incurred in 2014 was dismissed last year.

Parkway extension in remission, not dead The Knox County primary is now two weeks behind us, but there are several results worth noting which have not received much notice.

While former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton received over 62 percent of the Democratic vote statewide, in Knox County, she only won 51 percent, while Sen. Bernie Sanders won 48 percent and in some precincts such as downtown Knoxville, Fort Sanders and 4th & Gill, Sanders exceeded 70 percent of the vote.

At the Larry Cox Rec Center, Sanders beat Clinton 444 to 333 while in the predominantly African American precincts in East Knoxville, Clinton was getting 70 percent of the vote.

In fact, Clinton only won over Sanders by 903 votes in all of Knox County. Clinton got 13,137 votes while Sanders had 12,234 votes.

It certainly shows that Knox County Democrats are more liberal than their counterparts across the state and are not enthused over Clinton.

While many thought the Hugh Nystrom, Janet Testerman and Jeff Ownby contest for County Commission would be close between Nystrom and Testerman, it was not. Nystrom won an outright majority of the total vote and won by large margins in Sequoyah and Deane Hill Rec Center.

Testerman beat him in Pond Gap by only 7 votes.

Nystrom had started ccampaigning over a year b before Testerman joined tthe race and it was imposssible for her to overcome tthe commitments Nystrom h had secured. The contest w was never on policy issues a as Nystrom and Testerman were similar on polim ccies.

Marleen Davis, former dean of the UT Art and Architecture School, will be a credible candidate for the Democrats against Nystrom on Aug. 4, but she faces an uphill battle to prevail.

Evelyn Gill defeated Rick Staples 1,703 to 1,506 for the Democratic nomination in County Commission District 1 – a race most picked Staples to win. This district is racially mixed with precincts both overwhelmingly black and overwhelming white. Staples carried the largely African American precincts which Clinton also carried. In the 12th ward, where Clinton beat Sanders 333 to 63, Staples beat Gill 238 to 125. At Fort Sanders, where Sanders

Victor Ashe

won 256 votes over Clinton’s 56 votes, Gill won 204 votes to Staples’ 46.

Clearly, there was a relationship between the Sanders votes and the Gill votes.

Staples never saw this train coming down the track and Gill was shrewd and wise to link her campaign to Sanders. It paid off handsomely for her.

While Cheri Siler had withdrawn her candidacy for the Democratic nomination for Commission in District 7, her name remained on the ballot and Laura Kildare (her opponent) only got 56 percent of the vote for 1,797 votes over Siler’s 1,374. In fact, Siler won the 11th ward 217-212 despite having withdrawn from the race weeks before. Kildare has lots of work to catch up with Republican Michele Carringer in August to hold the seat now occupied by Amy Broyles for the Democrats.

What can one say about the law director contest except Bud Armstrong is popular and well liked.

County Mayor Tim Burchett’s TV endorsement of him was very effective.

Rowell’s slogan of being a professional not a politician had little impact. Armstrong won over 60 percent of the vote and could be a viable candidate for county mayor in two years if he wanted to be.

Rowell suggested he may run again in 2020 for law director. If so, he will need to retool his campaign and become active in GOP circles over the next four years.

This election proved that the candidates with the most funding do not necessarily win; witness Rowell and Grant Standefer for school board. â– Mayor Rogero thought she had buried the James White Parkway extension, but last week the state TDOT commissioner, John Schroer, slipped into town and urged its revival at a luncheon to which the mayor was not invited.

Schroer sees himself as a potential governor.

Rogero must wonder if this project has nine lives. Legacy Parks and others that opposed this should be alert that the project is only in remission. It is not dead.

Community center gears up for opening

By Ruth White The Heiskell seniors are enjoying their brand new meeting spot and, thanks to Janice White and a host of volunteers, the Community Center on Emory Road just east of Bojangle’s will be ready for daily activities to begin on Monday, April 4.

To kick off the March meeting, Pam Epperly with Omni Visions discussed her work with the agency and with foster children. Epperly has fostered over 90 children in the past 14 years and has adopted five children herself. She told the group that full- and parttime foster parents are always needed.

She also mentioned items that are always needed by foster families, including brushes/combs, hair products, toothbrushes/tooth-

Prior to lunch, which was sponsored by Thrivent Financial, White handed out calendars filled with tons of activities for area senior adults to enjoy. Every Monday a line dancing class will

be held from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. Cost is $3 per class.

Every day seniors can enjoy playing cards, working puzzles, board games, browsing the library or just hanging out and visiting with friends.

The calendar for April includes: Thursday, April 7: crafts/cards/games with a light lunch served; Thursday, April 14: senior luncheon with guest speaker, lunch and bingo. The theme will be April in Paris; Tuesday, April 19: Veterans Services office representative will be at the center from 10:30-11:30 a.m. for oneon-one assistance to veterans and family members; Thursday, April 21: bingo marathon, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. with lunch served for $3.

Bingo is free and participants don’t have to attend the entire time.

Janice White prepares to hand out prizes to the winners of the word game played at the center.

Potato jewelry is tops

By Sandra Clark Mary Nelle Robbins is a hoot. She’s also extremely creative. Robbins worked at UT for 22 years before retiring, but she’s created jewelry since she was “a kid.”

Now living at Sherrill Hills in West Knoxville, Robbins participated in a recent “show-n-tell.”

Her potato jewelry was a hit. She takes a regular Irish potato, cuts it into cubes and inserts a toothpick into each cube. Then she wraps the cubes to draw out moisture.

After about two weeks, the cubes are half the size and contorted into odd shapes.

She then paints the cubes and removes the toothpicks, leaving a hole for the string. She strings the potatoes with various art elements to create colorful necklaces and brace-

Walk with Jesus at Powell Church

By Cindy Taylor If you’re looking for an event that will inspire and engage your family this Easter look no further than Powell Church.

The church will sponsor “Walk with Jesus� 3-5 p.m. on Palm Sunday, March 20. The event is in its second year. It is an interactive time of storytelling and encouragement based on the final week in the life of Jesus Christ.

Stations will be set up throughout the church. Visitors will be greeted at the door then escorted through each individual experience.

The initial idea for the different stations was a collaboration between church members Kristie Pittman and Frankie Holt. “Last year there was an overwhelmingly positive response,� said Pittman. “Families and children in particular learned a lot about Holy Week and the traditions associated with each day.�

Pittman says the ma-

jority of the work done by herself and Holt in the beginning each year is talking and praying through God’s plan for the event. “Being flexible is extremely important since we know that for God’s plan to come to fruition we have to let go of our plans for the event.�

Once major decisions are made the two begin recruiting volunteers. Many members will use vacation days to help out with the plans.

Holt is also in charge of costume design.

Pittman says volunteers are essential to the success of the experience. They staff the registration table and then assign guides to those attending. The guide sets the scene. Guests will walk through the last moments of Jesus’ life as though they were actually there, complete with scenery. Actors (volunteer church members) will be at the stations in period dress, telling their story from a first person point of view and will interact

Heavy lifting And I, when I am lifted up ‌, will draw all people to myself. He said this to indicate the kind of death he was to die.

(John 12: 32-33 NRSV)

Powell Church member Dave Locke portrays Jesus entering the gates of Jerusalem as volunteers wave palm branches during last year’s Walk with Jesus at Powell Church. Photo submitted with guests.

Stations will include Palm Sunday in Jerusalem, the Last Supper in the upper room, Jesus taken away in the Garden of Gethsemane and the Resurrection by the empty tomb.

Each station will feature an activity to help guests remember what happened during that day in the life of Jesus. Pittman says this is intended to help them apply the experience to things go-

tatoe spend time in prayer each year before the conference seeking God’s will for whom the speaker should be. He said Miller spoke last year and there were many requests to have him return for the 2016 conference.

Viles says the conference objective is threefold. “This is a great opportunity for our pastors and church members in the association to come together for worship and for fellowship. And of course a main goal is evangelism.�

Viles says church members are encouraged to bring the un-churched with

There is a painting of Jesus that hangs in the chancel of the church where I worship. The text quoted above is printed underneath it.

I don’t know who painted it, my research online notwithstanding. There are some six thousand paintings of Christ available on line, and frankly I gave up the search after looking at about 600.

I have worshipped in that church for almost three years, but it was only last Sunday that I read that quote with new understanding.

I have understood it literally, in reference to Jesus’ being lifted up on the cross, which is not incorrect. John, the Gospel writer, certainly understood it that way, being the only disciple with courage enough to be present at the crucifi xion. Now I think that perhaps Jesus intended it with a double meaning as well.

Because last Sunday, I read it again, and thought with utter surprise and con-

viction, “That’s our job! We should be lifting up Jesus to the whole world!

If we don’t let people know about Jesus and what He means to us – not only with words but by our actions as well – we have failed as disciples.

I don’t mean we need to tackle strangers on the sidewalk and convert them on the spot. But we should not be afraid to speak His name, either; we should not hesitate to lift Him up, to say what He means to us, when given the opportunity.

I am reminded of the famous motto of Boys Town, USA: “He ain’t heavy; he’s my brother!�

Because to a Christian, “He ain’t heavy; He’s my savior!�

them to the conference and many have come to the Lord during past gatherings.

As the largest facility in the association, Clear Springs has hosted the conference since its beginning in 2006. The Midland-Northern Association ranges from Blount to Hancock counties. More than 15 churches are usually represented and more than 500 guests are expected to at-

tend this year’s event. Viles says the conference has grown through the years and is always a great opportunity to worship with other believers and non-believers alike. The community is invited to share this special time of worship. “We need to be brighter and bolder witnesses for Christ. This conference always generates excitement for sharing our faith.�

Women in jazz

By Carol Z. Shane In our town, where Vols football and “cradle of country music� lore reign supreme, it’s good to remember that Knoxville is also very much a jazz mecca.

Some of the planet’s finest players live here, the Knoxville Jazz Orchestra and UT jazz faculty are both worldclass, and the Knoxville Jazz Festival has its home here.

This weekend brings a rare opportunity for jazz fans when the inaugural “Women in Jazz Jam Festival� takes place in downtown Knoxville and surrounding areas.

The lineup is truly impressive. Featured artists include vocalists Katy Free, host of the weekly Singer Series at the Red Piano Lounge; Brooklyn transplant and versatile vocalist Jeanine Fuller; Lettie Andrade De La Torre, who sings both classical and jazz music; Sarah Clapp-Gilpin, a veteran not only of jazz

but of many stage musicals; Yasameen Hoffman Shahin, lead vocalist for the band “Electric Darling,� known for her vocal sass and soul; Dara Tucker, the nationally-recognized vocalist and songwriter who has to her credit many appearances in New York City, New Orleans, San Jose and the PBS show “Tavis Smiley�; local favorite Evelyn Jack, a member of the Knoxville Opera Gospel Choir and annual soloist for the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame; and Maria Williams, familiar to Knoxville audiences for 20 years.

Also performing will be guitarist/vocalist/ bandleader Kukuly Uriarte, well-known locally as a force for Django-Reinhardt-inspired hot jazz and Hispanic culture through music and song; Nashvillian Christina Watson, who will be bringing her world-class jazz quartet; Oak Ridge’s Deidre Ford, director of the 17-piece Ensemble Swing

Time, in which she also sings and plays baritone sax; “Venus,� a quintet consisting of voice, bass, guitar, drums and keyboard; and local jazz luminary Kelle Jolly, host of WUOT’s “Jazz Jam with Kelle Jolly� and, along with her husband, saxophonist Will Boyd, 2015 recipient of the MLK Art Award.

It’s Jolly, in fact, who has brought the whole thing together. She started singing jazz in high school, and became a fan of Sarah Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald, Patti Austin and Dianne Reeves. “Sarah Vaughan especially made an impression on me. She sang with such warmth and control.

Her voice was velvety and rich.�

She’s been singing and promoting the art of jazz ever since. “Singing jazz has given me purpose.� In addition to hosting her radio show and performing regularly, she and Boyd have traveled to Japan for the

last 10 years as jazz ambassadors. “All of our fondest memories together are connected to jazz.�

The festival offers much more than great jazz performances. On Saturday morning, there will be vendors and workshops at the Emporium Center on Gay Street. WDVX’s “Jazz Me Blues� host Bradley Reeves will present a talk on women in the 1920s and 30s jazz era. Children will be encouraged to write their own blues lyric and sing it live. “Children have great ideas,� says Jolly. “We have to show them the options they have for creativity.�

The “Women in Jazz Jam Festival� begins at noon this Friday, March 18, at the Knoxville Visitors Center, 301 South Gay Street, and runs through Sunday, March 20. Tickets/info: call 622-7174, visit http://womeninjazzjamfestival.com or email womeninjazzjamfestival@gmail.com.

is immediately apparent to those viewing the show. The categories include wildlife, scenic and travel.

Paired with the photography exhibit are handmade books by members of the

Knoxville Book Arts Guild. The books are the perfect 3-D comp a n ions to the photos.

They are always visually fascinating and can move the viewer to experience a display of wit or humor, an emotional reaction to a pictorial and verbal tale, or outright amazement at the cleverness of the a particular book design concept.

If you are still on the shelf when it comes to pickleball, you need to know that the game is a pretty big dill.

Sorry. Couldn’t resist.

That’s the problem with pickleball. Its name keeps newcomers confused: Is it real or a Nickelodeon challenge game?

The masses aren’t that confused. Pickleball has taken the area by storm, and the city of Knoxville is hosting its first-ever pickleball tournament April 15-17.

The tournament is open play with both singles and doubles divisions. Single tournaments begin on Friday, April 15, with doubles beginning on Saturday and mixed doubles on Sunday. Age brackets are 18-plus, 50-plus, 60-plus and 70 and older. Registration fee is $30.

The tournament will be played on Knoxville’s 18 pickleball courts – 12 indoor and six outdoor – with West Hills Park courts being the host area.

A mixture of tennis, badminton and ping pong, pickleball appeals to a wide age range of participants. The city has courts at West Hills Park, Christenberry Community Center, Deane Hill Rec Center, Inskip Rec Center, Lonsdale Rec Center, Milton Roberts Rec Center and South Knoxville Community Center.

How about an aluminum can from an uncommon brand of tomatoes with a book made of cut out and connected paper tomato slices? Another eye-catcher is an apothecary’s shelves with bottles and books in miniature.

HPUD plans major sewer upgrade

By Sandra Clark Hallsdale Powell Utility District is about to launch its biggest project yet. A $30 million investment will replace the district’s main sewer line from I-75 to the wastewater treatment plant on Beaver Creek Drive.

President Darren Cardwell said the 48-inch main line will be roughly 27,000 linear feet or almost five miles of pipe. Design is underway, and HPUD representatives are seeking easements now, Cardwell said. “We hope to start construction behind the new Kroger store on Emory Road next summer.

HPUD is under a consent order to improve water

ment plant faster, especially during heavy rains.

A storage tank now under construction on Dry Gap Pike is another way HPUD is tackling the problem of sewer system overflows.

The tank will hold up to five million gallons of wastewater, Cardwell said. “We’ll set up automated controls so that as sewer pipes fill up, some of the wastewater will be pumped into the storage tank.”

It will be held and released back into the pipeline when the rains abate.

Noah Jones and Caleah Flemmings hold their prizes from U.S. Cardwell expects the Cellular. Photo by S. Clark tank to be finished by October. It will be painted with a dome roof.

Vickie Bailey has been the No. 1 Coldwell Banker agent in the state of Tennessee for the last five years.

By Sandra Clark U.S. Cellular donated $500 to three members of the Boys and Girls Club of the Tennessee Valley last week at Northwest Middle School. They were customerselected winners of the Black History Month Art Contest.

Caleah Flemmings took first place and a $250 Visa gift card; Noah Jones took second place and a $150 gift card; Erica Cooper, who could not attend the presentation, claimed third place and a $100 card.

Scott Bacon, chief development officer for the Boys and Girls Club, told the assembled youngsters that, “We talk a lot about citizenship. Well, there is also corporate citizenship and U.S. Cellular is as good as it gets.”

Knoxville City Council member and former mayor Daniel Brown told the kids, “There’s a great history of African-American leaders.

Your creativity in this artwork is impressive.”

Bacon was proud to show off the after-school club at

Northwest Middle. Using the gym and cafeteria, the Boys and Girls Club has attracted one-third of enrolled students, some 300 members with about 100 to 150 attending daily, Bacon said.

Thomas White, the area sales manager for U.S. Cellular, presented the gift cards. In a prepared release, Nathan Waddell, director of sales for U.S. Cellular in Tennessee, said this is the first year of the promotion, designed to honor influential African-Americans and inspire students’ creativity and knowledge of these heroes.

“Our store associates in Knoxville loved sharing the artwork with our customers and others who came in to vote.”

The top 10 finalists were chosen by a panel of judges.

Their entries were displayed at area U.S. Cellular stores where the public voted for their favorites during February.

Following the presentations, staff carried in boxes of pizza to share.
