Ashe visits St. Helena, returns Victor Ashe writes: “Two months ago in February, I visited an island that had been on my bucket list for years. It is St. Helena, a British Overseas Territory located in the South Atlantic Ocean between Africa (Angola is 1,200 miles east) and South America (Brazil is 1,800 miles west). “St. Helena is best known as the final site for the exile of Napoleon Bonaparte after his defeat at Waterloo in 1815.

Perils of gossip Author Pamela Perry is a person of faith. While her first published work “Emma’s Gossip Column� is not particularly faith based, it does reflect her Christian world view. “I didn’t want to write a book that would only be on the shelves of Christian bookstores or online as a Christian ebook,� said Perry. “I wanted this book to reflect Christian values and virtue but also be accessible to a young person who might never set foot in a Christian bookstore.�

DeAlejandro to speak at Pellissippi graduation By Sara Barrett

Krissy DeAlejandro, executive director of tnAchieves, will speak to graduates of Pellissippi State Community College at this year’s spring c o m m e n c e m e nt ceremony May 6. “Although I talk in front of people a lot, admittedly, I’m nervous,� says DeAlejandro DeAlejandro. “I often tell students I am very much like them, and I understand how intimidating the process of getting an education can be. But it can change your life.� DeAlejandro grew up in rural Warren County, southeast of Nashville. Her mother didn’t

graduate from high school, and neither of her parents graduated from college. “I always knew I was going to college, maybe because I’ve always been very competitive. “As a first generation, low-income, rural college student, I will share a few lessons from my experience,� DeAlejandro said of her commencement topics. “I want students from similar backgrounds to understand that what might seem like an adversity is really an opportunity. I truly believe that higher education changes life trajectories. It certainly changed my life.� After graduating from Sewanee, DeAlejandro worked as an adjunct professor at PSCC teaching political science and college success before helping launch

knoxAchieves, a precursor to tnAchieves, in 2008. DeAlejandro oversees the Tennessee Promise last-dollar scholarship in 54 counties. “tnAchieves has been sending students to Pellissippi State since 2009, so I’m excited that many of our students will be in the audience graduating this year. “I’ve had a long and very supportive relationship with Pellissippi State throughout the tnAchieves journey,� DeAlejandro said. “I look forward to sharing my experiences working with students the last eight years – I do believe many of these students will go on to do great things.� Each tnAchieves scholarship recipient must complete eight hours of community service prior

to each semester, and DeAlejandro says what started as a minor point when creating the program has now become a shining jewel in its crown. “Much of our work is rooted in community service,� she says. “If a student is interested in nursing, we encourage them to find community service in that field. It helps them find a niche and a career.� Since its inception, tnAchieves recipients have completed more than 540,000 hours of community service. Pellissippi State president L. Anthony Wise Jr. says DeAlejandro “has been a great partner to Pellissippi State in rolling out the knoxAchieves, tnAchieves and Tennessee Promise access programs. To page A-3

Hip replacement gets tennis player back into the game He discovered tennis in its golden years, back when Ilie Nastase, Vitas Gerulaitis and Bjorn Borg ruled the men’s courts. But almost four decades later, Kevin Simpson’s game was suffering. “For the longest time I thought that I must have a groin pull because every time I would go out and play tennis it would hurt,â€? he said. “I went a whole year with it, and then during the second year I thought, ‘I need to have this checked. Something’s not right.’ â€? Indeed, something was NOT right. A chiropractor’s X-ray showed his right hip was bone-on-bone, and Dr. Paul Yau, an orthopedic surgeon at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center conďŹ rmed it. “Kevin had end stage, bone-on-bone arthritis, a signiďŹ cant limp, pain when he stood and was particularly in pain getting up from a chair, in and out of bed, and in and out of his car,â€? said Dr. Yau. “His hip was also very stiff. He could not cross his legs, and even had problems tying the laces on his shoes. He wanted to be active again. Play tennis. He wasn’t ready to call it quits just yet. Life was too short to sit it out.â€? That is exactly why Simpson sought out Dr. Yau in the ďŹ rst place. Knowing other tennis friends who had undergone traditional hip replacement surgery with its lengthy recovery period, Simpson had heard there was a better way, a method that Dr. Yau uses for almost every hip replacement. Called “Direct Anterior Hip Replacement,â€? it’s a procedure in which the surgeon goes through the front (anterior) portion of the hip instead of the side or the back. This allows the surgeon to push aside important muscles and tendons rather than cutting through them to position a new hip joint implant. “My patients who have had one hip done

After hearing about Dr. Yau’s experience with the surgery, he made an appointment and was quickly impressed by the affable surgeon. “He stayed there and answered every question I had,� said Simpson. “He gave me all the time I needed. One of the nurses told me that he would stay with you all day if you needed him too. I told him what my goals were – I’ve been a runner all my life and wanted to get back to running and I want to get back on the tennis court. And he said, ‘I don’t see any problem with that.’ � On Sept. 28, 2015, two days before Simpson’s 59th birthday, he was being prepped for his surgery at FSRMC. “Right before the surgery, Dr. Yau came in and I told him, ‘I want to be the ‘Six Million Dollar Man.’ He said, ‘Well, how about a Million Dollar man?’ He had such a wonderful personality.� A short time later, Simpson emerged from the recovery room a new man with a new hip and “feeling great.� That same day Dr. Yau sent him home to begin his recovery. “The next day, the pain medicine was Kevin Simpson was able to return to the tenwearing off and I could feel some soreness nis court not long after hip replacement surand tightness there but nothing major,� said gery by Dr. Paul Yau at Fort Sanders Regional Simpson, who was off his crutches by his Medical Center. “The guy that was beating me second follow-up appointment. like a drum when my hip was messed up, it By Thanksgiving, Simpson was back on wasn’t even close.

‘Giant leap’ in hip replacement surgery Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center is among only 15 percent of U.S. hospitals with the staff and facilities available to perform the latest approach in hip replacement surgery, called “Direct Anterior Hip Replacement.â€? In this procedure, the surgeon goes through the front (anterior) portion of the hip, instead of the side or back. This allows the surgery to be performed in between muscles and tendons instead of cutting through them to position a new hip joint implant. “When I ďŹ rst started doing hip replacement surgery this way, I thought it was just another option to access the joint, but people have done amazingly well with this approach,â€? said Dr. Paul Yau, an orthopedic surDr. Paul Yau geon with Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center. “With traditional hip replacements, we have to cut muscles or tendons, which prolongs the recovery process and may require limitations on hip motion,â€? said Yau. “It is common to hear patients being told not to bend at the hip more than 90 degrees, squat, reach to the oor or cross your legs after hip replacement because it would risk a dislocation.

Perry says she finds joy in writing messages of virtue and perseverance to young people through her stories. Her hope is to offer alternative choices to youth who may be struggling with the same issues she did.

Caring for Karns resident Tina Hedger and business partners Mary Runyon and Julie Maxey opened their Mary Kay Cosmetics studio on Cedar Lane to caregivers of seriously ill patients for a pampering event to benefit the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS).

The event was funded by Karns-area businesses who sponsored each recipient with a $50 donation, 40 percent of which Hedger donated to LLS directly.

government Stirring up trouble Shopper columnist Victor Ashe got a few folks upset with his prediction last week that West Hills residents would get the sidewalk they requested with a 7:30 a.m. walk on Sheffield Drive from Wesley Road to West Hills Elementary School on Vanosdale. Ashe pointed to safety concerns and support from three members of City Council: Vice Mayor Duane Grieve, George Wallace and Marshall Stair. State Rep. Martin Daniel wrote council members in support of the project, drawing fire from at least two who resented the interference. “Tell Martin and Victor that they should go to England if they want to represent the privileged class. No landed gentry here,” wrote Nick Della Volpe. And Mark Campen wrote: “I’m all for sidewalks and understand the obvious need for one in this area, but if all it takes to move a particular area up the priority list is having an organized walk and having the media show up, I’ll have the TV cameras rolling in the fifth next week! “There are some particularly dangerous areas in Inskip where kids walk along sections of road that could really use sidewalks too, as it is in every district.”

Sandra Clark No comments yet from Mayor Madeline Rogero or the remaining four council members: Brenda Palmer, Nick Pavlis, Daniel Brown and Finbarr Saunders. ■ Jim McIntyre being hired by UT to teach educational leadership is like bringing Captain Bligh from HMS Bounty around to teach seamanship. Lauren Hopson could play the role of Fletcher Christian, who led the mutiny. When the new school board takes office in September, just two of nine members will NOT be former teachers. Until Mike McMillan, I can’t remember another former teacher serving on the board. A school principal should represent and advocate for her teachers to the superintendent and policy makers, not passively impose mandates from people who have never been in a classroom. Until McIntyre understands why he lost Knox County Schools he should not be training future administrators. What was UT thinking?

A killing at Danny Mayfield Park With some exceptions, mostly when writing obituary columns, I try to avoid using the pronoun I on this page. But sometimes there’s no way around it. This week is one of those times. When posts started appearing on my Facebook feed Saturday-before-last announcing that another Knoxville child had been shot by gangbangers, all I could think was, Dear God, not again. The story kept getting worse as the blanks got filled in. This victim was 12 years old and a cousin of Zaevion Dobson, the Fulton High School sophomore who became a national hero last December after he died while trying to shield two neighborhood girls from a burst of gunfire aimed at kids sitting on a friend’s porch. This time, the victim’s name was JaJuan Latham. He and his father had attended a celebrity basketball game dedicated to Zaevion that evening, and afterward they’d stopped to pick up one of JaJuan’s friends who was attending a cookout. JaJuan was sitting in his daddy’s car when the bullets started flying. Early reports said it happened on Moses Street. Later information was a fist in the gut: Danny Mayfield Park. Danny Mayfield was re-

Betty Bean lentlessly exuberant, selfdisciplined, faith-driven and so optimistic that he thought he could do anything he put his mind to – even beat bone cancer. More than anything, he dedicated his life to saving kids. If that sounds melodramatic, tough. That’s who he was. He’d come here from New Jersey to attend Knoxville College, met a girl named Melissa on the bus to Knoxville, married her and had two children, finished school and lived the rest of his life in Mechanicsville, within blocks of the barren little acre that would be named for him after he was dead. He and Chris Woodhull founded a street ministry called Tribe One, which was dedicated to saving young people from the dangers of the street. I got to know him shortly before he decided to run for City Council. It was considered a major political upset when he was elected at the age of 28, but he was pretty much stymied in office by most of his colleagues, who resented his upstart ways. But he tried. And he cared. And he inspired. His

Danny Mayfield Jr. public suffering brought out the best – and the worst – in people, many of whom banded together to support the young family while a few circled and schemed and looked for ways to take what he had. It was excruciating to watch, but Danny’s faith in God and his fellow humans was unshakable. His gratitude was boundless. One of the speakers at his funeral was a Tribe One alumnus, a young man who described what Danny meant to him. This is part of what he said: “We had just come in from playing basketball, and we were talking about guns, and why do we carry guns. I always had an answer. I said that if I didn’t have a gun on me the night before, I probably would have been dead if I hadn’t shot back.

“Right then, he started crying in the middle of the meeting. I remember it like it was yesterday. Around this time a lot of young dudes were dying and stuff. Our first reaction? We laughed. We were cracking up. Not right in his face, but we said, ‘What’s wrong, dude?’ “And he said he was crying for us. He just wanted us to see, to get the message. … He looked straight at me and said I was who he was crying for. I knew exactly what he meant. He was crying for me, but he was really crying for us all. Today, I get that feeling when I talk to people who don’t see what I see – you want to reach inside of them and turn a knob so they’ll get it.” Last week, I visited the makeshift memorial on the corner of College Street and Moses, where balloons and flowers and teddy bears and a little stack of handwritten notes promising never to forget JaJuan and puddles of congealed candle wax are arranged on the sidewalk outside Danny Mayfield Park. Who invented balloons with durable black matte surfaces suitable for writing eulogies to murdered children? And who knew that the park named for Danny would become a killing field? This is not the legacy he worked so hard to leave us.

Get away to St. Helena Two months ago in February, I visited an island that had been on my bucket list for years. It is St. Helena, a British Overseas Territory located in the South Atlantic Ocean between Africa (Angola is 1,200 miles east) and South America (Brazil is 1,800 miles west). St. Helena is best known as the final site for the exile of Napoleon Bonaparte after his defeat at Waterloo in 1815. He lived there until his death in 1821. It is also the home of Jonathan, the world’s oldest known living reptile (a tortoise; more on him later). Just getting there is not easy. There is not yet an operating certified airport. One has been built at great cost but it has not been certified. The only way to travel there was on the RMS St. Helena (the monthly mail ship), which travels from Cape Town, South Africa, to St. Helena. It is a five-day voyage each way. The ship, after leaving passengers and freight at St. Helena, continues north 700 miles to Ascension, which hosts an American air base, and returns a few days later

to St. Helena to return to Cape Town. So I flew by way of London and Munich to Cape Town, arriving a few days before the ship was due to sail. The ship is half freighter and half passenger. But five days in a finite area of space gets old quickly despite good food and efforts to break the routine with games, movies and reading. The ocean was calm both ways as February is summer in the Southern Hemisphere. There is not a harbor, so ships anchor in the ocean and a tender brings the passengers and cargo to shore. If the ocean is too rough, then passengers stay on ship or land but not between. One usually stays on the island for eight days. Time goes quickly as there is much to do. Accommodations range from basic to

quite nice, mostly on a bedand-breakfast basis. There are 4,100 permanent residents and usually about 100 tourists at one time. Only 900 tourists visited in 2015. A governor general is appointed by Queen Elizabeth II on the recommendation of the prime minister. He and an elected council govern the island. I had a car rental to drive on the 80 miles of paved, one-lane roads, which made it easy to get around, but the roads were often steep with sharp turns and curves. Longwood, where Napoleon lived, was a fairly simple house lacking the imperial trappings he had left in France. He was basically under house arrest for the five years he lived there. He could go anywhere on the island if accompanied by British troops (guards). He was buried there in 1821 and his remains were moved to France in 1840. France maintains the empty tomb and house today through a French representative on the island. The tortoise Jonathan is believed to be 184 years old. No one knows for cer-

tain other than he arrived from the Seychelles in the 1880s and was thought to be close to 50 then. He lives in the front yard of Plantation House where the governor general resides. He is well cared for. In fact, he is hand-fed twice weekly by caretakers. Living with him are three much younger tortoises. Other sights include volcanic scenery, whales, dolphins and snorkeling. There is little industry on the island. There are few beaches. Tourism is believed to offer plausible economic vitality but it has a long ways to improve to attract significant numbers. For more information and pictures, go online to sthelenatourism. com and check out the website for the RMS St. Helena, which is rms-st-helena.com For visitors, there is much to discover about Napoleon, hiking and walks, whale and dolphin watching, snorkeling and knowing you are on one of the most remote places on this planet but still in a civilized area under the British crown. Internet is spotty and expensive. Phone service is adequate.

An area of research is honeybees. One of the prohibited items to be imported or carried by arriving passengers is honey. Worldwide, honeybees are disappearing in large numbers. But not in St. Helena where they flourish due to its remoteness. Some believe St. Helena may be the one place that saves honeybees worldwide.

I was helped in anticipating what I would see by Edgar and Lyn Faust, who live in the Hardin Valley area, who had been to St. Helena in the 1970s when they sailed around the world for three years and stopped there. They are the only other folks from here who I know have been there. If you know of others, do share the information with me.

The Infertility Journey

Mother’s Day Mammography Special

If getting pregnant has been a challenge for you and your partner, you are not alone. Ten to 15 percent of couples in the United States are dealing with infertility due to a single cause or a combination of factors. Coping can be extremely difďŹ cult and the emotional burden is considerable. If you are having this experience, we invite you to attend our new support group. While we can’t always change our circumstances, we can hopefully change the effect they have on us.

Early detection of breast cancer with mammography means that treatment can be started earlier in the course of the disease, possibly before it’s spread. Make it a point to have a mammogram annually, even if you have no signs or symptoms. Call us and schedule your mammogram on the days listed below and enjoy special pampering and a gift.

is terrific compared to how to take a shower. Brick-by-brick reconstruction was one year slower than it had to be but Jones, after three years, is so far ahead of where Dooley left off after three, it is difficult to compare. You do remember Sal Sunseri, defensive coordinator? He had connections to 2012 school records – most points permitted (428) and most yards allowed (5,657). Optimism regarding this upcoming season is running briskly ahead of logic and reality. Tennessee is good but not good enough to take any SEC foe lightly. You will see in late September that Florida does not give up a decade of domination without a fight. A week later, Georgia will convince you that a new coach does not

mean starting over. I can almost guarantee that Tennessee at Texas A&M will be a street brawl on beautiful green grass. These are hurdles along the route to the SEC championship game that some of my friends are taking for granted. Go ahead, invest boldly in tickets and choice lodging. Somebody will be playing in Atlanta in December. It can be the Volunteers if they all get well, do almost everything right, catch a few breaks and survive the heavyweight fights. Obvious: This is the best team Tennessee has had in several years. Obvious 2: Dooley and Jones are from different worlds. Marvin West invites reader reaction. His address is westwest6@netzero.com

Tubman on the $20: Money and politics Scott Frith

“Moses� for leading an exodus of slaves to the North. During the Civil War, Tubman served as a Union spy and assisted American troops in defeating the Confederacy. If that weren’t enough, Tubman went on to participate in the women’s suffrage movement and lived to the ripe old age of 91. There are few greater American stories than Harriet Tubman’s. Without question, Tubman’s life merits honor on U.S. currency. Contrast the life and accomplishments of Harriet Tubman with the life and presidency of Andrew Jackson.

Andrew Jackson was a Tennessean, hero of the War of 1812, and a populist who threw the eastern establishment out of the White House. Yet other parts of his legacy make him an easy target. First, Andrew Jackson was a slave owner. Second, Jackson, in violation of federal law, forced the removal of Native Americans from their eastern lands to the frontier west. This “Trail of Tears� is often cited by historians as an American genocide and resulted in the deaths of thousands of Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek and Seminole. These stains on Andrew Jackson’s legacy make him a perfect foil for the Obama administration in an election year. African-Americans make up a significant portion of the Democratic party’s base.

“THE PRICE IS RIGHT�

t

courage African-American supporters than replacing a slave owner on the $20 bill with a freed slave? It’s good politics. Even better, some have even used the new $20 bill to criticize Donald Trump. President Jackson was a hot-headed populist who sought to overturn the established order. The same is often said of Trump. The Obama administration, by highlighting Jackson, not only encourages its own base, but also takes a notso-veiled shot at the favorite for the Republican nomination. Trump refuses to be outdone. Playing to the strengths of his candidacy, Trump calls the currency change mere “political correctness.� It may be. Of course, in an election year, everything is political.

Everyone complains about money in politics. Republicans object to the money funneled into campaigns from big labor. Democrats complain about money coming in from big business. Lately, folks in both political parties complain about so-called super PACs and their billionaire donors. We’re used to money in politics. Last week, we learned there can even be politics in money. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew announced that Harriet Tubman will replace President Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill. With that, the Obama administration is playing shrewd politics. Harriet Tubman lived an incredible life. Born a slave, Tubman escaped slavery through sheer wit and with the help of the Underground Railroad. Tubman later worked to guide others to freedom, earning the name

News from Mission of Hope

Breaking the cycle of poverty

Mission of Hope: one kid at a time By Anne Hart

When Knoxville-based Mission of Hope awards its college scholarships to graduating seniors in poverty-stricken rural Appalachia, it is giving far more than money. It is offering what the organization’s own name promises: hope. Hope for the future of the student, for their families, and, for many of those students, for the communities to which they choose to return with new-found knowledge and skills that can help lift that area out of the darkness to a brighter future. Each of the new scholarship students is teamed up with a mentor to help guide them along the way. The mentors support their protĂŠgĂŠs in a wide variety of ways, depending on the needs of the particular student, but the bond is a strong one. Mentor Cindy Lloyd describes her role as “an opportunity to be a support or connection for someone who is perhaps the ďŹ rst in their family to attend college and is willing to work unbelievably hard to get that college degree. “These are kids who don’t know how college works, and many of them start from behind because they don’t have some of the classes or knowledge that they need to compete in a college setting.â€? Lloyd has mentored four of the Mission of Hope scholarship recipients over the years. One of them is Haley Davis, now in her second semester at Roane State Community College. “Sometimes Cindy will text me ‘Hope you are OK,’â€? Haley says. “It just brightens my day. She is so sweet. All of the Mission of Hope people are so sweet and caring – every single one of them.â€? Haley grew up in Halls and attended Halls Middle School. After a move

to Speedwell, Tenn., she started her sophomore year at Cumberland Gap High School. During her senior year, looking for funds to help her get to college, she found an application form for a Mission of Hope scholarship posted at her school. “I sent in the form and then they interviewed me and I was so nervous, and I really didn’t think I would get it,â€? she recalls. “When they announced it at the school banquet I was so surprised and so happy.â€? At a later Mission of Hope banquet, all 13 of the scholarship recipients were surprised and overjoyed when each received a laptop computer, a printer and a college-speciďŹ c backpack ďŹ lled with other gifts. Haley’s backpack included a gas card, which she says came in especially handy as she navigates the roads between home, school and her job as a cashier at the Save-A-Lot store in LaFollette. “I drive a lot,â€? she says. “My gas bill is horrible.â€? Haley is majoring in chemistry. “I want to go into the medical ďŹ eld and I’m really interested in neurology, particularly in dementia and Alzheimer’s, because I would like to be able to help people with those diseases.â€? But with a degree in chemistry, there are also other options. “I just toured the Oak Ridge National Labs and thought it was really cool. I think it would be great to get into anything that is chemistry-related.â€? Haley is a hard worker. While other college students may take the summer off, she isn’t one of them. “I actually have a summer class I need to take to keep me from falling behind, and I have just enough funds from Mission of Hope to do that. Isn’t that awesome? They are helping me so much.â€?

Mentor Cindy Lloyd, who works closely with Mission of Hope staffer Diane Webster to be sure the scholarship students are getting the help each needs, describes the program’s tremendous success this way: “We don’t just say ‘Here’s the money and good luck.’ We say ‘Here’s the money and here’s my hand and my help.’ It’s not just a scholarship; it’s a relationship.� And the relationship is working well. Close to 100 scholarships have been granted to date, and the program’s success rate is above the national average.

As Mission of Hope’s director, Emmette Thompson, puts it, “We are breaking the cycle of poverty, one kid at a time.� Mission of Hope’s scholarships, as are all of its programs throughout the year, are made possible entirely through donations, and the need is always great.

Vol fan shares 50 years of memories

By Cindy Taylor Enjoy a great, homecooked meal at Rami’s CafĂŠ while also helping a great cause. From 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Thursday, April 28, Rami’s will donate 10 percent of sales to The Manor at Northgate Terrace. Rami’s owner, Basel Natour, is extending his hours for the event, presented by the Greater Knoxville Sertoma Club. Usually, Rami’s is open for breakfast and lunch. The Manor at Northgate Terrace supplies supportive services to seniors who need a little help but wish to remain independent. Those 60 and older can live in a private apartment setting in a facility that caters specifically to individuals who have daily living issues often associated with aging. Residents are charged a flat monthly fee along with rent based on their income. The Manor offers two meals daily, weekly cleaning and laundry service, personal checks on residents, a personal emergency response system and many other amenities. Teresa Lawson is the supportive services coordinator at The Manor. “I eat at Rami’s at least once every couple of weeks,â€? she said. “I was there with a Manor advisory committee member for lunch one day discussing fundraising. We decided to approach the owner, Basel Natour, and ask if he would consider helping.â€? Natour has owned Rami’s since January 2015. He says he was excited to help. “I like to step out and support worthy causes in my community. This is our third fundraiser. It helps us, and it helps the causes we support.â€?

Barbara Stone has lived at The Manor for the past year. “I have made a lot of friends there,� she said. “I have had some health issues and been through chemo. I don’t have to worry about cooking, and the staff has taken really good care of me.� Even with residents paying much of the cost, help is always needed to fund the facility. Lawson says that supportive services

are not covered under HUD or public housing. With limited income, residents cannot afford the full cost of the services The Manor provides. Natour and Lawson hope the community will rally around the residents and support them by bringing family and friends to enjoy a wonderful meal at Rami’s tomorrow (April 28). Rami’s CafÊ is at 3553 North Broadway. Event info: 403-1410, ext. 1411.

Folks of a certain age will really appreciate Bob Arnold’s first book, “Through Orange Colored Glasses: Memories of a Big Orange Fan.� Arnold saw his first game on Oct. 15, 1960, when Tennessee beat Alabama 20-7 on Shields-Watkins Field. As a resident of Dayton, Tenn., Arnold was especially proud of his hometown star, quarterback Andy Kelly, and his contributions to the Vols. Bob colored his van orange and white; he wore the school’s colors often; and he kept notes of virtually every game he watched. His book is a diary, chronicling his feelings through the ebbs and flows of the more than 50 seasons he watched the football Vols compete, according to a press release. Bob had professional assistance from historian Tom Mattingly and editor Martha Rose Woodward. “Bob is an exceptional fan,� said Mattingly. “It is not enough to say he is a

Bob Arnold die-hard fan. He’s a fan who literally lives and dies with the fortunes of the Tennessee Vols, from the orange and white van he once drove through the streets of Dayton and to games wherever they were played, to his ‘Orange Room,’ a collection of Tennessee memorabilia that has to be seen to be believed.� The book is priced at $17.99 and is available online through amazon. com or in bookstores nationwide through the publishing company Createspace.

A sign of the times [Jesus] answered them, “When it is evening, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.’ And in the morning, ‘It will be stormy today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times.� (Matthew 16: 2-3 NRSV) On a recent April morning I looked out our kitchen window toward the west and saw a sky that was bloodred. It was both beautiful and frightening, and odd, I thought, for the western sky to be red in the morning. It reminded me of the old saw, “Red sky at morning, sailor take warning.� It also reminded me of a story my mother used to tell of a morning long before I was born. One winter morning, a neighbor left his house to milk his cows and saw the aurora borealis streaking up the northern sky. He apparently didn’t know about the northern lights and was certain that it forebode the end of the world. I think it was my grandfather, who lived across the road from him, who assured him that there was nothing to fear. It was unusual, to be sure, for the aurora to be so

Lynn Pitts visible as far south as Tennessee. It does get one’s attention. Which was, I think, Jesus’ point. We take note of things that get our attention, and sometimes fail to attend to the things that are really important. So what is important? What are the signs of our times? I believe we need to be kinder, gentler, more generous, more forgiving toward each other. I believe we need to be thoughtful about the future of our homes, our land, our nation, our dear little world. I believe.

What’s cooking at Northwest Middle? Students at Northwest Middle had an opportunity to learn culinary skills and become more comfortable in the kitchen, thanks to the Culinary Club and a partnership with UT department of Nutrition and UT Extension Nutrition and Culinary Specialist Kelly Sparks. Each Monday afternoon, students participated in a short nutrition lesson and were assisted in making a correlating recipe, during which they received instruction on food safety and proper knife skills. At the conclusion of the course, participants were asked to complete a pre- and posttest that evaluated what they learned. They also

provided discussion and feedback during the meetings and were able to talk about what they enjoyed, the food items they liked (or didn’t) and the importance of healthy diet and exercise. Culinary Club is a research-based program sponsored by the UT Department of Nutrition, Knox County Schools Coordinated School Health, School Nutrition, Tennova and East Tennessee Cardiovascular Research Foundation.

Northwest Middle School Northwest Middle School volleyball team will be holding tryouts, 3:45 to 5 p.m., Tuesday, May 10, in the gym. The tryouts are open to rising sixth- through eighth-grade girls. Any rising ninth-grade girl interested in trying out in high school is welcome to attend and work on skills. The event is sponsored by Emerald Youth Foundation.

S.O.R. Losers

“a breakfast serials story”

Written by Avi and Illustrated by Timothy Bush

CHAPTER FOUR: Story So Far: S.O.R’s special soccer team loses their first game, 32-0, but must prepare for their second game Next morning when I walked into my classroom, on the board it read: 32–0! “Who wrote that?” I wanted to know. Ms. Appleton, my homeroom teacher, looked at the numbers as if she hadn’t noticed them before. “I have no idea. Does it mean something?” “Sort of,” I admitted, going right to my desk. “Aren’t you going to tell me?” “I’d rather not.” The rest of the class came in. Every time one of my teammates showed up — four in my room, Saltz, Porter, Lifsom and Hays — they looked up, saw the board, then lowered their eyes. Class came to order. “Ms. Appleton, what’s that mean?” asked one of the girls, the gifted, talented and excessively beautiful Lucy Neblet. “I have no idea. Edward seems to know, but he’s not telling. Or will you?” I hadn’t enjoyed losing the day before. But except for learning what I’d known already, that sports were not my thing, I hadn’t wasted a lot of grief. Yet when Lucy Neblet asked her question, all of a sudden I felt bad. Like I had done something wrong. I looked at Saltz, who sat next to me. He ignored me. “Edward?” persisted Ms. Appleton. I said, “Our special soccer team — first game — we lost by that score.” “Thirty-two to nothing?” hooted Hamilton, who was all-universe at everything. From somewhere in the back of the room came a giggle. Laughs. A grand old time, except for the five of us who were on the team. I felt lower than a mole hole. “I’m sure you’ll do better next time,” said Ms. Appleton. “They couldn’t do worse!” bellowed Hamilton. The bell clanged, and we started history, my favorite subject. It was then that we got to pick our project partner’s name out of a hat. Who should I get but Lucy Neblet. Rather, she got me, because she pulled out my name. Naturally, I didn’t want to show that it was amazingly fantastic with me, but I was sky high. I couldn’t have cared less about soccer. Then, in the lunchroom, a couple of people came up to me — Saltz and I were talking about Lucy — and these guys asked me if it was true about the game. “Yeah, sure,” I said, like Don’t bother me. But it meant word was getting around. Sure enough, from then on, all during lunch, I had this feeling that people were looking over at me and giggling. More than once I’m sure I heard “thirty-two–zip.” I tried to ignore it. Then this big eighth grader came up to me. “Hey, superstar, this is for you.” He handed me a note. I expected the worst until I saw it was a message. I was to see Mr. Lester. Mr. Lester was in his classroom, alone. I glanced at his desk. Usually it was loaded with history books. The American Civil War was his thing. It was neat to hear him talk about it. This time all I saw were soccer books. That upset me. He was taking

songs honoring historic figures, seasonal songs and a cute little song about a teddy bear. Teachers presented a Power Point program about the math that kindergartners are learning and shared ways to help enrich the learning experience. Librarian Raina Scoggins led the group in reading Dr. Seuss’ book “Green Eggs and Ham.” Art teacher Tracy Riggs explained the type of projects that are completed in her room, and parents viewed samples of students’ work.

The Most Interesting Practice Session

things seriously. Sure enough, took on a solemn expression. “I hope you weren’t too troubled about yesterday,” he said. “No way,” I said. “Why should I be?” But I sensed that I was being pushed that way. “We took quite a licking.” “Somebody has to lose,” I said. “The Confederates lost.” “Listen, Ed,” he said. “I’ve been studying. We can make adjustments. But that’s not what I wanted to see you about. It’s recommended here — now, where was it ...” He began to leaf through one of the soccer books. “Oh, it doesn’t matter. What we need — it says — we should have a captain. You would make an admirable one.” He held out his hand to congratulate me. “You are our captain.” “Me?” “You’re our best player. You can set an example.” “Me. The best?” “I saw you block a shot.” I felt like saying that (1) it had been an accident and (2) I didn’t even remember doing it. Instead, I went out of the room feeling positively sick. Me. Best player. Captain ... Good grief. The thought of a slow jog through Death Valley at high noon was much more appealing. That night, to set my mind straight, I called Lucy. We had a long talk about our project. Well, rock bands, mostly, but we began about the project. Then I called Saltz and had a long conversation about my long conversation with Lucy. There were still some nice places in my life. Next day Mr. Lester called an extra practice. No one wanted to go. It meant giving up our one free period. We had no choice. As it turned out, it was really a nice day, sort of golden warm, so it wasn’t bad to be outside. Mr. Lester led us to a place where no one could watch us. “Now, gentlemen,” he said, “we have to think about this game more seriously.” Saltz shot up his hand. “Yes, Saltz?” “Why do we have to take it seriously?” Mr. Lester blinked. “Because ... we do. There’s nothing wrong with losing. It’s just that we shouldn’t lose by so much.” “Isn’t a mile as good as a miss?” asked Hays. Mr. Lester grew quiet. We waited for an answer. “It’s a question of attitude,” he began. “During the American revolutionary war, Americans lost lots of battles, but they didn’t give up.” “Could you give us an example?” I asked, taking my job as a team captain to heart for the first time. Mr. Lester perked up. “Well, yes, many of them. Consider the Battle of Bunker Hill ...” He told us how the Americans got their fort set up at night. How the British came by boat. How they stormed up the hill and what our side did. “Don’t shoot till you see the whites of their eyes!” It was nifty the way he told it. When he was done, he said, “So you see, even though the Americans retreated, it was, in a way, a great victory.” “Anything like that happen during the Civil War?” I wanted to know.

“Actually, the Battle of Gettysburg was one in which no one truly won either, but because of that ...” He was off again, maybe even better than the first time around. We stayed put, happy to let him talk while the sun grew warm. By the time General Lee retreated, the hour was almost gone. He suddenly looked at his watch. “My goodness,” he said. “We’ve used up most of our time.” “What about the Spanish-American War?” asked Root quickly. Mr. Lester blinked. I felt for him. I could see he really wanted to tell us. Instead, with a sigh, he said, “Why don’t you run around the field a couple of times.” That was okay. We pulled ourselves up

and began to trot around at an easy, lazy pace. We did it twice and then came back to where Mr. Lester was waiting for us. “Now what?” asked Barish. “World War Two,” offered Dorman. Mr. Lester, however, checked his watch. Even as he did, we could hear the bell for class. We sprang up and ran back to school. It was computer lab time and no one wanted to miss that. As we went, I looked back over my shoulder. There was Mr. Lester standing under the tree, a bag of soccer balls on the ground. I almost felt sorry for him. I’ll say one thing though; it was the most interesting practice we had all season. (To be continued.)

News from Attorney Rebecca Bell Jenkins

In Rebecca Bell Jenkins’ law practice,

it’s all about family

By Anne Hart Few words in the English language evoke stronger emotions than this: family. Your family members are the ones you want to protect throughout life in every way possible. No one can help you do that more successfully than an experienced family attorney. Every family should have one. Rebecca Bell Jenkins is a family attorney with a practice that covers virtually every aspect of family law from birth to death and beyond. With offices in Franklin Square on Kingston Pike in West Knoxville and on Emory Road in Powell, Bell Jenkins has been in the practice of law since 1995, and has gained recognition as an experienced practitioner in the field of family law.

Family law advocacy The practice of family law has become increasingly important to our everyday lives as more and more families are faced with the realities of divorce and post divorce issues, including matters of spousal support, child support and parenting plan issues. Family law is not limited to divorce issues, but it also includes custody and child support issues for those persons who never married, but who have children together, and those matters are addressed through the Juvenile Court system. Juvenile Court is also the court in which issues regarding the well being of children are brought even when there is no divorce. Family law focuses on practically any area of the law that concerns persons and their family relationships. Legal separations and adoptions are family law issues as well. None of us is trained to handle these matters, and so we look to local attorney

Rebecca Bell Jenkins, a skilled legal practitioner with a focus on family law.

Returning to court Bell Jenkins reminds us that even after a divorce becomes final it is not at all uncommon for persons to return to court. Sometimes court mandated spousal support or child support is not paid in a timely manner or at all. Parenting plans may not be followed by one of the parents or there may be “substantial and material change of circumstances” and one or both parents may seek to modify the parenting plan. “Post divorce issues often come up,” Bell Jenkins says. These are all matters that Bell Jenkins, who has offices in both West Knoxville and Powell and has been licensed to practice law since 1995, deals with daily. She says family law deals with personal issues over which people usually become extremely emotional. “In our practice we know that it is extremely important to really listen to our clients. “For each client in our office, their case is the most important one in the world. We know this, and we pride ourselves on listening carefully and also on making certain that they understand every aspect of their case and how it will be handled. “This is the most productive way to have the desired legal outcome.”

Have estate planning documents ready Bell Jenkins also represents clients in other matters that can impact the entire family, such as personal injury cases and even criminal misdemeanors when family members make bad choices. Another vital part of

Attorney Rebecca Bell Jenkins

the practice of family law is estate planning, which involves three critical documents: ■ A will, which everyone 18 years or older who has assets and/or children should have; ■ A Power of Attorney document, which specifies who can make decisions for you on health care and/or financial matters if you become incapacitated; and ■ A Living Will, which states whether heroic measures should be taken to save your life in certain life-threatening situations and also communicates whether you wish to be an organ donor. Bell Jenkins reminds us that, “It is critically important that we all have in place our will and power of attorney. “We never know when these documents will be needed, so it is incumbent upon us all to have them ready.” While the reasons for

a will seem obvious, Bell Jenkins says having the document can serve to prevent family squabbles and also avert the unnecessary expenditures required if the courts are asked to make final a determination on the division of property. “A power of attorney is also a necessary and invaluable tool in the event an individual becomes mentally incapacitated and unable to handle their own affairs,” she says. “If you become mentally incompetent without a power of attorney document in place, no one can legally act in your behalf in financial, business and health-related matters. Your loved ones will have to file a petition for conservatorship with the court in order to handle your affairs or to make heath care decisions for you. “Again, it is critical to have this document in place, because once a person becomes incompetent,

Rebecca Bell Jenkins, Attorney at Law Suite 202 in Franklin Square 9724 Kingston Pike

691-2211 534 W. Emory Road, Powell by appointment only

it is too late to appoint a power of attorney; the court will not approve it, so don’t wait too long. “A conservatorship is time-consuming and expensive as it moves through the courts. It is much easier to see an attorney now and have these two critical documents drawn up than to have your loved ones deal with the court system. The two documents no one should be without are a will and a power of attorney. Bell Jenkins states that if a person wants to have a power of attorney in place, but currently is still able to handle his/her own affairs, then the power of attorney can be written to go into effect only when the person becomes incompetent. The power of attorney can provide that the person’s competency can be determined by his/ her treating physician.

Rule 31 mediator Bell Jenkins is also a Rule 31 Listed Family Law Mediator. In many situations this allows her to serve as an independent third party in discussions between the two parties and their attorneys as they attempt to work out their differences without going to court. This form of mediation allows the two sides of an issue to reach an agreement without the time and legal expense involved in going to court, and without the possibility of having a judge issue a ruling that suits neither party. The law offices of Rebecca Bell Jenkins are available to serve your family’s legal needs, including adoption and personal injury cases. Please call the central telephone number – 6912211 – which serves both the West Knoxville office and the Powell office.

New, improved TennCare

Home Federal president David Reynolds and CEO board chair Dale Keasling honored three hometown heroes and made donations to charities of their choice. Pictured at the event with Reynolds and Keasling are Nell Alfaro, Dr. Tom Keun Kim with The Free Medical Clinic of America, Susy Gray, Eric Botts with Friends of Literacy, Bill Keeler and Becky Warwick with Fountain City Ministry. Photo by R. White

Home Federal salutes Hometown Heroes Home Federal Bank donated $7,500 to three area nonprofit organizations in the names of the three Hometown Heroes for 2016. Nell Alfaro served as a volunteer at The Free Medical Clinic of America for the past 11 years. Alfaro was a teacher at Fulton High School and dedicated 40 years to education. Patients appreciate her kind and gracious nature and Spanish-speaking patients benefit from her ability to

translate. Home Federal donated $2,500 to the clinic in her honor. The Free Medical Clinic of America was founded in 1993 by Dr. Tom Keun Kim and provides free health care services to working poor who cannot afford medical insurance. Susy Gray, a retired educator, pours her expertise and energy into helping adults learn to read and/ or earn high school equivalency diplomas through a

class she and church member Jeanette Jansen started at Fountain City United Methodist Church. Through the program, 139 adults have been helped, with 25 of them earning high school equivalency diplomas. Home Federal made a donation of $2,500 to Eric Botts and Friends of Literacy in her honor. Bill Keeler is the operations manager for Fountain City Ministry Center, a volunteer position he has held

for 14 years. Keeler coordinates clothing donations and securing food to organizing volunteers and more. In his honor, Home Federal donated $2,500 to Becky Warwick who accepted the donated for Fountain City Ministry Center. In its sixth year, the Hometown Heroes service awards program spotlights community volunteers who make East Tennessee a more comfortable place for all of us.

United Acoustical Co. Inc. installed this Armstrong Woodworks ceiling at UT’s Neyland Stadium. It’s in the club level.

Last week we ranted about House Speaker Beth Harwell’s apparent lack of courage in not moving to expel Jeremy Durham from the House and not bringing Insure TN for a vote. In fairness, let’s look at the flip side. Harwell (as has Gov. Bill Haslam) has called for Durham’s resignation. She’s moved his office away from legislative staff and forced his resignation from the House Republican Caucus. The voters in his district should polish him off this summer. The new Health Care Task Force will report back in June with a rebranded proposal. No more Medicaid expansion; no more Insure TN; no more Obamacare. Harwell will own this one and Senate Speaker Ron Ramsey will be gone when it’s brought to the Legislature in 2017. Harwell needs to show leadership, but she also needs to succeed. Since she never brought a House vote on Insure TN, all members can run for re-election without facing voter reaction to the state’s failure to draw down federal dollars to provide health care to an estimated 280,000 uninsured Tennesseans. Harwell talks about a big tent, but she’s actually provided a big skirt for House members to hide behind. Democratic Sen. Craig Fitzhugh said the Senate committee that killed Insure TN “let seven people decide for 6.5 million people that 300,000 people wouldn’t receive health insurance. That’s not the way it’s supposed to work. I don’t care who’s running the railroad.” Now Republicans are using phrases like Rep. Harry Brooks in his wrapup newsletter: options … pilot programs … staggered implementation … individual responsibility for healthy choices … circuit breakers to limit the state’s exposure on costs … individual health savings accounts. Add some verbs and you’ve got the report. The task force met this week. Rep. Roger Kane from Knox County is one of its four members, all Republicans. Here’s hoping the task force devises a passable plan and the voters toss Durham. Then Harwell can serve me a plate of crow that I’ll eat with ketchup.

United Acoustical: Home-grown By Sandra Clark Bud Harbin started United Acoustical Co. Inc. on Stock yard Road in Halls back in 1970. He and wife Lois raised three sons who played sports at Halls High Greg Harbin and all entered the family business. They install drop ceilings, acoustical wall panels and custom ceilings.

Both ceilings and United Acoustical Co. have come a long way. United Acoustical is now an Armstrong direct-buy contractor, one of two such specialty contractors in the state of Tennessee. Greg Harbin spoke for brothers Randy and Danny and the company at the April meeting of the Halls Business and Professional Association. It’s co-president Carl Tindell’s idea to showcase major Halls businesses that might be under the radar of many residents.

Harbin showed a PowerPoint of work his company has done including major projects at UT such as the new John Tickle Engineering Building and the club level of Neyland Stadium. His company has worked for Food City, Harper Porsche/ Audi and the Oak Ridge Unitarian Universalist Church. “We will work with anybody,” said Harbin. “Yes, we’ll come do your basement.” The company has 10 regular employees and uses additional contract labor on

Tellico Village Baptist Church got this makeover from United Acoustical after David Whipple, former music minister at Salem Baptist Church, contacted Greg Harbin to say, “Something’s wrong with the sound in this room.” big projects. It has moved from Stockyard Road (now Fountain Valley Drive) over to Neal Drive, across from the Halls trash and recycling center. United holds contracts

with UT for dorms now under construction and for the new student center. As Armstrong has grown, United Acoustical has adapted. The Armstrong website shows everything from

floating ceilings to futuristic designs. If Armstrong sells it, United Acoustical Co. Inc. can install it. Just call Greg or Randy or Danny Harbin at 865922-8254 for pricing.

Urban Wilderness brings economic impact By Betsy Pickle Carol Evans said it best, recalling a quote she heard at a conference in Chicago: “We build parks for people here; if they like them, others will come.” And when others come, they spend money. The potential economic impact of Knoxville’s Urban Wilderness is huge. At last week’s Celebrate the Urban Wilderness event at Ijams Nature Center, Dr. Charles Sims estimated annual spending of $8.3 million if the UW is a local attraction, $14.6 million if marketed regionally, and $29 million if promoted nationally. Sims, a Faculty Fellow at the Howard H. Baker Jr. Center for Public Policy and an assistant professor in economics at the University of Tennessee, based his projection on the research he did with two graduate students on the potential economic impact of the Urban Wilderness. No official studies have been made on usage of the Urban Wilderness itself and what local and non-local users are spending in South Knoxville and across the

city. So to analyze the potential, Sims and his assistants used data on existing trail systems in other parts of the country. They came up with projections based on whether the UW was primarily a local, regional or national destination. What made the UW stand out compared with trails in such places as the Research Triangle area in North Carolina, the Virginia Creeper trail in Virginia and the Slickrock Trail in Utah is that it is much closer to restaurants and lodging and to a downtown commercial area. And though there are acclaimed urban trails in Richmond, Manhattan, Minneapolis and Seattle, the UW has 42 miles (and growing) of trails, more than twice the number of the other four trails combined. Sims pointed out that the research focused on bicycle usage, and the Urban Wilderness also draws joggers, hikers and walkers. Estimating the direct, indirect and multiplier effects, the UW could reach close to $52 million in economic impact on Knox, Anderson and Grainger counties if it were

‘Big Game Show Night’ The Rotary Club of Bearden is bringing “The Big Game Show Night” to Knoxville – an evening for companies to recognize and celebrate their employees as they enjoy a gourmet meal, raffle prizes and being contestants and audience members as the various game shows are played. The event is 6:30 p.m. Friday, May 20, at Bearden Banquet Hall. The club is selling tables for 10 at $1,300 per table, and only 26 tables are available. The club already has sold a number of tables. “It’s limited seating, and if a company is interested in doing it then they need to go ahead and do it now,” says Bearden Rotarian Richard Bettis, the event’s cochair (along with Dick Hinton). If your company wants to buy a table or you need more information, call Bettis at 865-228-1523. “My church (Northstar Church) did this and it was a great evening of fun, and everybody loved it and had a great time,” Bettis said. “We’ll be selling raffle tickets during the evening, and we already have a full set of tires from Fisher Tire as one big prize.” Led by “The Big Game Show” company from Atlanta, it will be fast-paced and high-energy, with lots of audience participation and prizes, he added. The club’s goal is to raise $20,000 to support a variety of local and international projects – including Flu Shot Saturday, Mobile Meals, the Dictionary Project for all Knox County third-grade students, the Pond Gap Elementary School playground project, the Heart to Heart project in Mexico, Polio Plus and more. ■

District Conference

Many Rotarians from all seven Knoxville clubs will be in Pigeon Forge this weekend at the 2016 District 6780 Conference at the new Margaritaville Island Hotel Resort (April 29-May 1). District Gov. Beth Stubbs and District Gov.-Elect Fred Heitman will lead the conference. John Germ of Chattanooga, presidentelect of Rotary International, will speak on Sunday morning. Rotarians from 65 clubs in the East Tennessee district will be attending. ■

to become a national destination. And Sims said that doesn’t reflect the effect on income and employment, health benefits and property values. Two business groups – the South Knoxville Neighborhood & Business Coalition and the South Knoxville Alliance – sponsored last week’s celebration. South Knox’s City Council representative, Nick Pavlis, presented recognition plaques

to Evans, executive director of the Legacy Parks Foundation, and current president Matthew Kellogg and past president Brian Hann of the Appalachian Mountain Bike Club. Evans said the UW can help schoolchildren get active and provide routes for commuters. It’s making Knoxville “a place people want to live.” Kellogg said that the AMBC is dedicated to sup-

porting the UW by building, maintaining and using trails. “We are diggers and we are doers.” Debbie Sharp, organizer of TREK (Traverse, Ride & Explore Knoxville) South, which leads monthly hikes, said the UW serves a need for the busy community. “We love the mountains, but not everybody has a full day

to go to the mountains.” Molly Gilbert, a marketing expert, noted that businesses close to the UW such as the Roundup Restaurant and Handy Dandy market have already seen an uptick in customers and sales. She encouraged other businesses to welcome UW visitors: “It helps when you do your part.”

Invasive species talk in Oak Ridge Invasive exotic insects and how they affect our forests will be the topic of the University of Tennessee Arboretum Society talk at 7 p.m. Thursday, May 5, at the UT Arboretum.

A faculty member of UT’s Department Schlarbaum of Forestry, Wildlife and Fisheries since 1984, Dr. Schlarbaum has served in a variety of professional positions and committees regarding forest and health genetics. The UT Arboretum is located at 901 S. Illinois Avenue in Oak Ridge. The program will be held at the Arboretum’s new auditorium. Follow signs to the building.

Massage:

better for you than you think

By Carol Z. Shane The folks at Tennova Health & Fitness are dedicated to helping their clients improve their health in all ways, including ways which may not have occurred to the average person. Take massage, for instance. “It’s a wonderful luxury,” you’re probably thinking. “Someday, when everything is all taken care of, I’ll treat myself or a loved one to this ultimate feel-good gift.” Well, as it turns out, massage isn’t “just” a luxury, but a valuable part of complete health care. “We like to think all our clients need massage,” says Nicole Yarbrough, the facility’s executive fitness manager. “It’s pampering, but it’s more than pampering.” The stress-reducing benefits of massage are well-known, but it turns out many of the benefits are medical and physical. Arthritis and musculoskeletal disorders, fibromyalgia, lactic acid buildup after exercise, flexibility, mobility, pain disorders, posture problems, high blood pressure – all of these conditions are helped by massage. And “it doesn’t necessarily have to be an ailment that’s diagnosed,” Yarbrough says. “Most people can associate with common pain – neck pain, low back pain – that keeps you from living your daily life. People move and then they have aches and pains after moving – they do yardwork and they haven’t done anything that active since before the trees were blooming.” Her staff is used to runners coming in for massages, both pre- and post-race. The recent Knoxville marathon brought an increase in clients. “It’s a great way to recover from intense activity,” says Yarbrough. In addition, massage keeps connective tissue – the most abundant type of tissue in the

human body – pliable and healthy. From now until Mother’s Day, Tennova is running a special on its Day Spa services so it’s the perfect time for mom – or anyone – to experience the benefits of massage. And yes, if you’re going for full-on pampering, you’re in the right place; Jaclyn Howell, Tennova’s spa coordinator, mentions a tantalizing list of services: a body polish featuring an exfoliating treatment and warm towels, peppermint foot treatment and various aromatherapy treatments, as well as relaxation, deep tissue, hot stone and pregnancy massage, among others. “All of us can benefit from massage,” says Yarbrough. Why not check out Tennova Health & Fitness Center’s Mother’s Day spa promotions? They’ll do a body good.

A hot stone massage feels great and has many physical and mental benefits.
