exceptional Southern dining, right there in bold print. It does not lie.

After months of wading through permits and prepping for handicap access, owners opened the Powell eatery for family and friends on the night of Jan. 6. The house was packed, and the food did not disappoint.

The menu includes steak, chick-en, trout and duck, along with in-spired sides and appetizers cre-ated to melt in your mouth and warm your tummy. And the home-made bread … wow!

If you end up waiting for a table,

“I have been working here for months decorating and helping to prepare for the opening,” said primitive shop employee Wanda Carden. “When I came in tonight, the sights, smells, music, lighting and seeing all the people enjoy-ing themselves – it took my breath away.”

Located in the former George and Frona Gill home at the inter-section of Emory Road and Spring Street, the restaurant offers ca-

By Betty BeanA railroad crossing marks the

boundary between residential Ce-dar Lane and the commercial cor-ridor of Merchant Drive and the I-75 interchange to the west, but City Council is halfway to enact-ing a rezoning that will not only change that demarcation, but also has one prominent neighborhood activist predicting negative reper-cussions all over town.

“I’m shocked that City Council would do something like this to one of the most stable neighbor-hoods in North Knoxville,” said Lynn Redmon, president of the Norwood Homeowners Associa-tion, who didn’t go to the council meeting to speak out against the rezoning because, “I didn’t think it would be necessary.

“Breaking open this residential zoning will have long-term effects on Cedar Lane and other neigh-borhoods in this town, and they did it because they could. This was not City Council’s fi nest hour.”

The rezoning, approved on fi rst reading by a 5-4 vote, consists of three Metropolitan Planning Commission-recommended mea-sures (including city and sector plan amendments plus a condi-tional rezoning).

The property owner is Cindy Bradley, a real estate agent and former MPC commissioner who bought the former church building at the corner of Cedar Lane and Rowan Road in 2012 after MPC re-jected the former owner’s request to rezone it to offi ce, resulting in the asking price being slashed al-

most in half. Churches and schools are permitted inside residential zones on use-on-review.

Bradley wants the property re-zoned from civic institutional to offi ce and low density residential and says she was forced to make this request because the city will not allow her tenants to have sig-nage for their businesses. MPC has imposed four conditions re-garding parking spaces and street access.

Bradley was supported by In-skip Neighborhood Association president Betty Jo Mahan, who is an MPC employee. Mahan said her membership prefers Cindy Brad-ley’s proposed dance studio and of-fi ce uses to apartment buildings, of which the area has a plethora.

On the other side was Ryan

Bradley vs. Bradley: Cedar Lane rezoningBradley (no relation), the proper-ty’s next-door neighbor, who pre-sented a petition with the signa-tures of 30 other close neighbors who oppose the rezoning and want to preserve the residential charac-ter of their neighborhood.

“We all bought here knowing we were in R1,” Ryan Bradley said. “I don’t know why we’re talking about multi-family (not an al-lowed use in R-1 zones).”

Fifth District City Council mem-ber Mark Campen, who represents the area, opposed the rezoning re-quest, saying that Cindy Bradley bought the property at a greatly reduced price because of its zoning issues and should not benefi t from her gamble at the expense of her

By Sandra ClarkKnox County Schools will be giv-

ing a state-mandated “writing as-sessment” to children in grades 3-11 in February. The mom of a third-grader contacted Shopper-News.

A great day to stay home

AnalysisThe tests will be given on com-

puter, and third-graders will be required to type their answers, she said. The teacher wrote: “This is an online assessment, which means they will read two articles online and then TYPE their 5 paragraph response.”

The kids will have an hour and a half to complete the test with a 30-minute break “in between,” ac-cording to the teacher.

Dr. Elizabeth Alves, chief aca-demic offi cer for Knox County Schools, said this is the fi rst year the test will be administered in grades 3-11. “In the past, it was only given in grades 5, 8 and 11. The test was piloted across the state last year. Our teachers opted not to participate in the pilot.”

Alves said the writing test for grades 5, 8 and 11 was adminis-tered by computer last year and grades 8 and 11 have been tested

on computer for two years.She said student performance

will be reported, but it will not count for teacher evaluation or system accountability purposes.

My fi nal question: In what grade are children taught to type and expected to be profi cient in the skill?”

Alves said: “Instruction in the use of technology and typing varies from school to school. Currently, there is no curriculum from the state for teaching typing at the el-ementary levels; however, there are state standards at each grade level that identify performance expecta-

tions. Elementary students are not graded on profi ciency in typing.”

The parent who contacted Shop-per-News is concerned that her 8-year-old will be typing a fi ve-paragraph response in a timed for-mat. She said her kid visits the tech lab every six days, hardly enough to become profi cient at keyboarding.

The teacher who contacted her said typing practice at home would be helpful because, “Capi-talization, punctuation and inden-tions will be taken into consider-ation on their assessment grade.”

This might be a good day to keep your 8-year-old at home.

SatisfiEDANOTHER REASON PEOPLE PREFER PARKWEST

Parkwest Emergency Department has received top decile

ratings in patient satisfaction for more than a decade.

TreatedWell.com

When should I go to the emergency department?According to the latest govern-

ment statistics, approximately 136 million people are treated in U.S. emergency departments (EDs) ev-ery year. These patients are treated for a wide variety of medical condi-tions.

How do you decide when a medical condition rises to the level of an emergency? The Ameri-can College of Emergency Physi-cians (ACEP) offers the following list of warning signs that indicate when something may be a medical emergency:

■ Diffi culty breathing, shortness of breath

■ Chest or upper abdominal pain or pressure

■ Fainting, sudden dizziness, weakness

■ Changes in vision ■ Confusion or changes in men-

tal status ■ Any sudden or severe pain ■ Uncontrolled bleeding ■ Severe or persistent vomiting

or diarrhea ■ Coughing or vomiting blood ■ Suicidal feelings ■ Diffi culty speaking ■ Shortness of breath ■ Unusual abdominal pain

“If you think you or a loved one might be experiencing a medi-cal emergency, come to the ED to have a doctor examine you,” says Parkwest Emergency Department Medical Director Brian Braxton, MD. “If you think the condition is life-threatening or the person’s con-dition will worsen on the way to the hospital, you need to call 911 so the local Emergency Medical Services (EMS) provider can come to you.”

The Parkwest Emergency De-partment sees patients based on the severity of their illnesses or inju-ries, not fi rst-come, fi rst-served. To get the best care as quickly as pos-sible, note the following advice:

■ Bring a list of medications and allergies. What’s the name of the medication you are taking? How often do you take it and for how long? A list of allergies is important, especially if you have many. Be sure to include medications, foods, in-sects or any other product that may cause an allergic reaction. Parkwest can provide wallet-sized medication info cards free of charge if you’d like one. To get a medication info card, ask anyone in the ED or contact Parkwest Marketing at 373-1000.

■ Know your immuniza-

tions. These immunizations main-ly include Tetanus, Flu and Hepati-tis B for adults.

■ Remain calm. It is diffi cult to remain composed if you’ve beenbadly injured, but a calm attitudecan help improve communicationwith the doctors and nurses who are caring for you.

■ If you think you or a loved one is experiencing a cardiac emergency, call 911. EMS per-sonnel and ambulances are pre-pared to handle these types of emergencies and can start some treatment modalities while en routeto Parkwest. Plus, we’ll know you’recoming and can triage you faster than if you come on your own.

“Communication is importantwhen you arrive at an emergency department,” says Braxton. “As an ED physician, I want to know as much about the patient as I canas quickly as I can, so the proper treatment can begin. There can be long waits in all EDs as doctorsand nurses tend to those with the most severe conditions fi rst. Tell us if your level of pain increases or if there is any change in your condi-tion while you’re waiting so we may better meet your needs.”

Cold or ? How can you tell?When you wake up sneezing,

coughing, and have that achy, fever-ish, can’t-move-a-muscle feeling, how do you know whether you have a cold or the fl u? While it can be hard to tell, it’s important to know the dif-ference between the symptoms. A cold is a milder respiratory illness that can make you feel badly for a few days, while the fl u can make you feel very sick for a few days to weeks. The fl u can also result in serious health problems such as pneumonia which may require hospitalization.

What are common cold symptoms?

Cold symptoms usually begin with a sore throat, which usually goes away after a day or two. Nasal symptoms, like a runny nose or congestion, fol-low with a cough by the fourth and fi fth days. Fever is not typical in adults. Cold symptoms may cause wa-tery nasal secretions for the fi rst few days. Later, these secretions may be-come thicker and darker. Dark mucus is natural and does not always mean you have developed a bacterial infec-tion.

When do I call the doctor?

If you already have f lu or cold symptoms, call your doctor if you also have any of the following:

■ Persistent fever: A fever lasting more than three days can be a sign of a bacterial infection that should be treated.

■ Painful swallowing: Al-though a sore throat from a cold or f lu can cause mild discomfort, severe pain could mean strep throat, which requires treatment by a doctor.

■ Persistent coughing: When a cough doesn’t go away af-ter two or three weeks, it could be bronchitis, which may need an an-

tibiotic. Asthma is another causeof persistent coughing.

■ Persistent congestionand headaches: When colds andallergies cause congestion andblockage of sinus passages, theycan lead to a sinus infection. Ifyou have pain around the eyes andface with thick nasal discharge af-ter a week, you may have a sinusinfection and possibly need anantibiotic. Most sinus infections,however, do not need an antibi-otic.

In some cases, you may needemergency medical attentionright away. In adults, signs of acrisis include:

■ Severe chest pain ■ Severe headache

■ Shortness ofbreath

■ Dizziness ■ Confusion ■ Persistent vomit-

ing

Can I prevent fl u or cold symptoms?

Just like cold vi-ruses, f lu virusesenter your bodythrough the mucousmembranes of thenose, eyes or mouth.Every time you touchyour hand to oneof these areas, youcould be infectingyourself with a virus.It is essential to keephands germ-free withfrequent washing toprevent both f lu andcold symptoms. Fluvaccinations can beobtained throughyour family doctor orat several area walk-in clinics.

How long do cold symptoms last?

Cold symptoms usually last for about a week. During the fi rst three days that you have cold symptoms, you are contagious and can pass the cold to others, so stay home and get some rest. If your symptoms do not improve after a week, you may have a bacterial infection and could need antibiotics.

What are common fl u symptoms?

Flu symptoms are usually more severe than cold symptoms and come on more quickly. Symptoms of fl u include sore throat, fever, headache, mus-cle aches and sore-ness, congestion, and cough. Some types of fl u are also associated with vomiting and di-arrhea.

How long do fl u symptoms last?

Most fl u symptoms gradually improve in two to fi ve days, but it’s not uncommon to feel run down for a week or more. A com-mon complication of the fl u is pneumonia, particularly in the young, elderly or peo-ple with lung or heart problems. If you notice shortness of breath, let your doctor know. An-other common sign of

pneumonia is fever that comes back after having been gone for a day or two.

Is it fl u or cold symptoms?

“Take your temperature,” says Braxton. “Flu symptoms often mim-ic cold symptoms, but a cold rarely causes a fever above 101 degrees. With the fl u, you will probably have a fever initially and you will feel miserable. Body and muscle aches are also more common with the fl u.”

Symptoms Cold FluFever Sometimes, usually mild Usual; higher (100-102 F; occasion-

ally higher); lasts three to four days

Headache Occasionally Common

General Aches Pains

Slight Usual; often severe

Fatigue, Weakness Sometimes Usual; can last two to three weeks

Extreme Exhaustion Never Usual; at the beginning of the illness

Stuffy Nose Common Sometimes

Sneezing Usual Sometimes

Sore Throat Common Sometimes

Chest Discomfort, Cough

Mild to moderate; hacking cough

Common; can become severe

Complications Sinus congestion; middle ear infection

Sinusitis, bronchitis, ear infection, pneumonia; can be life-threatening

Prevention Wash hands often; avoid close contact with anyone with a cold

Wash hands often; avoid close con-tact with anyone who has fl u symp-toms; get the annual fl u vaccine

Treatment Decongestants; pain reliev-er/fever reducer medicines

Decongestants, pain relievers or fever reducers are available over the coun-ter; prescription antiviral drugs for fl u may be given in some cases.

neighbors. He also chided his colleagues for giving Ma-han’s nascent Inskip Neigh-borhood Association more credence than Ryan Bradley and the 30 neighbors who signed his petition.

The issue is further com-plicated by four conditions MPC tacked onto its rec-ommendation, something that Cindy Bradley’s lawyer Arthur Seymour Jr. homed in on with a letter he sent to council members the day of the meeting, pointing out council attorney Rob Frost’s votes for rezoning “condi-tions” when he was a coun-cil member.

Singling out Frost’s long-ago votes, which dealt with landscaping and screening requirements that benefi t-ed existing neighborhoods, appeared to be a rare Sey-mour misstep after he was chided by Frost (who called Seymour’s letter an “ad ho-minem” attack) and later by council members like Vice Mayor Nick Pavlis, who said he didn’t appreciate “an attack on City Council’s attorney.”

In the end, the council ap-pears poised to give Cindy Bradley’s request the fi nal stamp of approval next week. Council members Brenda Palmer, George Wallace, Dan-iel Brown, Marshall Stair and Pavlis voted to approve the rezoning. Nick Della Volpe, Duane Grieve, Finbarr Saun-ders and Campen voted no.

Carol Pratt and Debbie Johnson ham it up as they auction off Tipper Gore’s pillow (not really)

during the annual Noweta White Elephant and Flea fundraiser.

Items donated included a naughty or nice pillow that once belonged to Tip-per Gore and a dish once used by Queen Elizabeth II. Or so auctioneers Wilma Pratt and Debbie Johnson would have you believe. And they came up with even more wild stories to sell club memorabilia and raise funds for the coming year.

If you didn’t intend to purchase an item, it could be dangerous to even blink. But it was all in good fun and for a worthy cause.

“These were antiques used at Biltmore House,” said Pratt jokingly of a set of placemats that brought a high winning bid.

“In case anyone’s feelings get hurt, we have plenty of stuff to bid on,” said Johnson.

Marjorie Gardner spoke

to the club about how we aretaking too much pride inour yard and gardens.

“We need butterfl ies andeven wasps because theyare pollinators,” said Gard-ner. “We are killing themwith too much fertilizer.”

whatever you want it to be! As long as you can come up with the prop and a three-minute skit. This may pre-sent a challenge for actors with the Powell Playhouse, but it can only mean fun for the audience.

PPH will present the inaugural rendition of “A Night of Improv” 7-8:30 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 17, in the Nita Buell Black Audito-rium at Powell High School.

Skits will be unrehearsed and created the moment

they are performed. Play-house regulars will be pro-vided with scenarios and must grab props and come up with skits on the spot.

The evening will kick off with an original play writ-ten by former Playhouse vice president and artist Bob Longmire titled “Hap-py Holly Day.”

“We are excited to have our fi rst-ever improv night and to present our fi rst original short play,” said playhouse president Gina Jones. “This is exactly what the playhouse is all about:

lifting up all the different talent we have in our area.”

Admission to “A Night of Improv” is $10 at the door.

Next up at the Powell Playhouse will be the court-room drama “The Night of January 16.” The play will involve jurors selected from the audience. Auditions will be 6 p.m. Monday, Jan. 26, Tuesday, Jan. 27, Monday, Feb. 2, and Tuesday, Feb. 3, at the Powell library.

The public is encouraged to audition as there are nu-merous roles available for lawyers and witnesses.

has helped keeps her com-ing back every week.

Spicer had the oppor-tunity to speak with an 83-year-old woman who was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. “The fi rst line of defense is the doctor, but patients often need someone to talk with,” she said. Spicer shared her own experience with breast cancer, and as the conversation ended the woman was thankful for her time and just wanted a hug from her newfound friend.

Tennova Cancer Re-source Center volunteers are friendly and eager to help. Anyone interested in volunteering can contact Spicer at 235-3730. Volun-teer hours are fl exible, and training is provided.

‘H’ is for hypocrite

LarryVan

Guilder

As the New York Times recently reported, it isn’t love for the Crimson that’s

behind the red faces of Harvard faculty members. Turns out they’re indignant about being introduced to the reality of health-care reforms many of them sup-ported.

Ivy League, meet The Rest of Us.

Confronted with increas-es in out-of-pocket costs for health care, resulting in part from provisions in the Affordable Care Act, the agitated academics are questioning the university’s

data. Some have gone so far as to devise spreadsheets to crunch the numbers – no mean feat for professors more at home with Aphro-dite than annuities.

One Harvard veteran called the changes “deplor-able, deeply regressive,” while another said the out-of-pocket costs were “equiv-alent to taxing the sick.”

As a member of the un-washed masses who has forked over my “sick tax” for years, it’s hard to over-look their hypocrisy, much less generate sympathy for them.

NFL generates a bunch of ugly headlines. None belong to Eric. He is considered a rock-solid pillar among the Chiefs, a natural leader who plays the game the right way and didn’t fl aunt his wealth or honors.

Eric is already a model for younger players, an example of how to do it. Before that, he was just a model citizen. I remember a high school story of him volunteering as a helper in a dentist’s offi ce. I always suspected the receptionist was pretty.

I recall, at UT, him show-ing up in the equipment room the night before a game to help team manag-ers clean and polish hel-mets. Think about that, star with a scrub brush.

I never saw Eric turn cartwheels or otherwise celebrate an interception or touchdown. He just handed the ball to the nearest of-fi cial. He has always been substance over style.

I do believe it is prayer meeting time.

The sports forums I fol-low, starting with Scout’s VolChat and Rocky Top Board, tell me Tennessee people are praying for one of our favorite sons, Eric Berry.

So are Georgia people and Kentucky people and some from Florida and even Alabama. Out in Kansas, concern for Berry is big.

Eric is 26, a two-time All-American Volunteer, recipient of the Jim Thorpe Award as the nation’s best collegiate defensive back. The Chiefs selected him fi fth in the 2010 draft. He has been that good or better in the NFL.

That was then.The now part is a fi ght

for his life against Hodgkin lymphoma. He is favored to win – a high percentage do – but he is too special and this is too serious to take for granted.

Peyton Manning has checked in. He sees this as a tough fi ght, understands the treatment is challeng-ing, but says Eric is a fi ghter.

“I reached out to him and told him he’s in a lot of peo-

Prayer meeting time

ple’s prayers and thoughts.”Phillip Fulmer is opti-

mistic.“He was always up to the

challenge. I believe he will be in this case.”

Ex-Vol Inky Johnson, inspiration for many, close friend to Berry, says Eric is doing well.

“He’s doing great. He comes from a great fam-ily. Most importantly, Eric knows who’s in control of his situation, and that’s God. When you know who’s in control, you’re at peace with it. So Eric will be fi ne.”

Maybe you know that Berry chose Kansas City number 29 in recognition of Inky. He was 29 at Tennes-see.

We don’t know when the cancer started, but we know when it was found. Quirky story. Late November, Ber-ry put a big hit on Oakland running back Marcel Reece.

The other safety, Husain Abdullah, came fl ying in to get a piece. He also got some of Eric.

Berry got up clutching his chest.

“You all right?” Abdullah asked.

“I’m good,” Berry replied.Later, his shoulder wasn’t

so good. An X-ray didn’t show anything, but when orthopedic physician Cris Barnthouse examined him, things didn’t add up. Berry hurt when he moved his arm but was not sensitive to touch, nor was his strength affected. If his chest was bruised, he would have felt pain in all three tests. Barn-thouse recommended an MRI.

There it was, the intrud-er, a mass that didn’t belong.

Eric chose Atlanta as the battleground, Emory’s can-cer institute. Dr. Christo-pher R. Flowers, a Stanford man, is calling the plays. He says the affl iction is poten-tially curable with standard chemotherapy. Radiation is a secondary approach. Stem cell implants are out there somewhere, if needed.

Flowers did not discuss future football. Or hair loss.

I lack the wisdom to ex-plain why really bad things sometimes happen to really good people. I do know the

Vice Mayor Nick Pavlis is looking for co-sponsors for an ordinance to raise the mayor’s pay, a measure he says is long overdue. The mayor and four of his City Council colleagues will be up for re-election this year.

Pavlis: Time to give mayor more money

“The mayor makes $130,000 a year, and I am going to propose raising it by $12,500, to $142,000. It would take effect at the end of 2015, the day after the next swearing-in. This is the appropriate time to do it,” he said.

“The last increase was voted on in 2003 and didn’t take effect until ’06 – and here it is, 2015. Sure, $12,500 is a big one-time catch up, but if you am-ortize it over a nine-year period, it’s not that big a catch up. I just think our city should be in line with other cities and with county offi cials.”

Most mayors in other cit-ies and County Mayor Tim Burchett make more than Rogero, said Pavlis, whose great-uncle Jack Dance was mayor of Knoxville when he died in 1959.

He said he doesn’t want to see this offi ce become the preserve of the very rich, and said that since city employees are required to be on the job for 10 years before vesting in pension benefi ts and mayors are limited to two four-year terms, mayors will gener-ally be ineligible for pen-sions (Rogero, if re-elected, would be an exception since she served for four years as city development director

under Mayor Bill Haslam before resigning in 2010 to run for mayor). County em-ployees vest in eight years.

“I worry that we’re mak-ing it an exclusive club and knocking out the vast ma-jority of citizens of Knox-ville from consideration,” he said. “If you’re a reason-ably intelligent person with a reasonable job with a pen-sion and benefi ts, the salary has to be up there because you’re giving up your ben-efi ts. We’ve been surveying salaries and benefi ts, and I think this is a good path for us to go down and I think we should look at this more frequently than we have.

“Madeline had no idea this was coming. She wouldn’t be a party to that, anyway – that’s political suicide.”

Chattanooga Mayor Andy Burke makes $151,000. Memphis Mayor A.C. Wharton makes $162,925, and Knox Count y Mayor Tim Burchett gets $167,687 annually.

Metro Nashville Mayor Karl Dean’s $136,500 makes him a bit of an outlier (in November, the Metro Council turned down a proposal to raise his sal-ary to $180,000).

State law requires the county mayor’s salary to be the highest in the county, but at least six city employ-ees, including Janet Wright (director of information systems) at $168,230, Bill Lyons (deputy to the mayor) at $160,130, Christi Branscom (deputy to the mayor) at $153,120, Charles Swanson (law director) at $152,980, David Rausch (chief of police) at $139,080 and Stephen King (deputy director of engineering) at $133,150 make more money than Rogero.

The death of Edward W. Brooke, fi rst African-American elected to the U.S. Senate (Massachu-setts), makes astronaut John Glenn the oldest living former U.S. senator at 93.

He lives in Columbus, Ohio, and has an offi ce at Ohio State University.

I used to think that sit-ting through a multi-hour government meeting would be approximately as enjoy-able as having my toenails trimmed with a jackham-mer. But as I’ve become a grownup, the things that interest me have changed. Thank goodness. Other-wise, I’d still be watching soaps with my girlfriends, as I did when I was 14.

Remembering Edward Brooke

The next oldest liv-ing former senators are, in order of age: Ernest Hollings, 93, from South Carolina; Jocelyn Burdick of North Dakota, 92; Paul Laxalt from Nevada, 92; James Buckley from New York, 91; and Bob Dole from Kansas, 91.

Tennessee’s Bill Brock is now the 37th oldest living U.S. senator at age 84. He lives in Annapolis, Md.

I had the privilege of knowing Edward Brooke when I worked for Sen. Howard Baker in 1967 and both were freshman sena-tors and Republicans at that time. Both staffs were friendly, and Lamar Alex-ander was Baker’s legisla-tive aide that year.

Brooke had been attor-ney general of Massachu-setts prior to being elected to the Senate in 1966, the same year Howard Baker Jr. was elected to the Sen-ate from Tennessee. The two staffs played softball against each other in the summer.

I met up with Sen.Brooke in 1973 when I was on a private trip to Athens, Greece, and he was meet-ing with Greek leaders.

We were both staying at the Grande Bretagne Hotel on Athens’ famed Constitu-tion Square and ended up having breakfast together.

■ Mike Lowe, former Knox County trustee, is

asking that his trial be moved out of Knox County through his attorney, Greg Isaacs. Without comment-ing on the merits of the case, I know Lowe has an expert attorney when it comes to advocating delays in trials.

Isaacs is also the at-torney for Troy Whiteside, who was indicted over fi ve years ago for homicide, and his case has not yet gone to trial due to a variety of delays. It is currently set to start next month, but no one is holding their breath it will happen.

If this motion for Lowe is successful, that trial is delayed several more months.

If the city of Boston can fi nd a jury to de-cide the trial of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, one of the sus-pects in the Boston Mara-thon bombings, with all the international publicity it has generated, surely Knoxville can provide an objective jury and a fair trial for both Mike Lowe and Troy Whiteside for their respective charges.

The truth is, probably more than two-thirds of the people of Knox County have never heard of Lowe, which means they do not have an opinion of him.

Fewer than half could identify Lowe or Whiteside if shown a photo.

■ Georgia Varlan Man, daughter of Danni and U.S. District Judge Thomas Varlan, is the associate general coun-sel for the new Republican governor of Illinois, Bruce Rauner, effective this week.

She is a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of the University of Tennessee and a 2012 graduate of the University of Virginia School of Law.

She has been an attor-ney at Kirkland and Ellis in Chicago and will work at the governor’s Chicago legal offi ce.

MPC − better than a soap opera

most local developers and citizens. The developers generally had a similar look − jeans, a sport coat and longish hair. Hip.

The citizens wore their stress like a garment. They sat in groups and whispered together. I understand their fear. Some are facing devel-opment that could have a very real negative impact on their property and, maybe, on their lives.

This is where the dra-ma happens. People don’t like change. Nobody ever says, “I’ve always enjoyed this wooded lot behind my house, where squirrels and birds play. But I don’t mind if someone knocks down the trees and grades with loud equipment in order to build a new hospital/shopping

center/apartment complex behind my house.

“I understand that de-velopment is part of the natural order of things in a growing city like Knoxville.”

To be honest, I tend to side with those citizens − all of them. Our homes are overwhelmingly personal. They are our refuge. It’s cruel to deprive people of the things they love best about their homes for the sake of progress, especially if a developer profi ts from the loss.

Still, I have to admit that, after watching several hours of meetings, I’m beginning to understand the other side.

No matter how surround-ing property owners feel, sick people benefi t from

During my process of ed-ucating myself about local government, I’ve watched a few meetings online and attended a few in person. Last week was my fi rst in-person encounter with the Knoxville-Knox County Metropolitan Planning Commission (MPC), and I was transfi xed.

Before the meeting be-gan, I examined the audi-ence and found I could pick out the developers, lawyers and concerned citizens. Most of the lawyers I knew by name because a rela-tively small pool represents

By now, everyone in the world and the astronauts in outer space know that Pres-ident Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and his wife, Dr. Jill Biden, vis-ited Pellissippi State Com-munity College last week to announce a national plan of two years of tuition-free community college for any-one willing to work for it.

The plan will be based on Tennessee Promise, a pro-gram with the same incen-tive offered for the fi rst time ever to the class of 2015 throughout our great Volun-teer state.

I am not usually one to follow politics, but I think this is a great idea if we can all make it through the red tape without getting stuck in it.

This is why I support the president’s plan: When cov-ering school news, every

The case for tuition-free college

day I visit at least one public school and meet students who blow me away with their ideas.

Students of all ages have shown me projects they’ve created, fundraising they’ve planned and hosted themselves, goals they’ve achieved and dreams they would like to follow upon graduating from high school.

Without Tennessee Promise, many of them would never be able to af-ford college.

I can’t speak for the rest of the country, or even for

everyone else here in Ten-nessee, but I know when I hear a kindergartner tell me an idea she has to help the homeless or I interview a student in the fi fth grade who already has a busi-ness plan to start his own company, I am so glad they will have the support they’ll need right here at home. Not only will they have the po-tential to better themselves, but they’ll better their world – mine and yours – in the process.

During his announce-ment, the president said he hopes to level the playing fi eld among the haves and the have-nots. “We don’t ex-pect everybody to make it,” he said, “but we do expect everybody to get an equal shot.”

It shouldn’t be about what you look like, how you worship or your last name,

he said. I couldn’t agree more. There are many gift-ed children who may not be given the same opportuni-ties because of the area they live in or how much money their parents make.

“No one with drive and discipline should be left out,” the president contin-ued.

“Two years of college will be as free as high school is today.” Once students com-plete the two years of col-lege, they could transfer those credits to a university and essentially get half of a bachelor’s degree free.

The students I meet and write about are a glimpse of the talent thriving in today’s schools.

With a national plan to give them a hand up, their possibilities are endless.Sara Barrett is West Knox school beat re-

porter for Shopper-News.

hospitals. People buy things they need at shopping cen-ters, which supports jobs and produces tax reve-nues that pay for stuff like schools and pothole repair.

People live in the apart-ments, and they’re more likely to be young profes-sionals, like my son, than drug dealers.

It comes down to those who serve, without pay, on the MPC, to make decisions about where such things will be built.

And here’s the good news − they take their jobs seri-ously. They ask questions, and they seek input from citizens, even when the agenda is long and each side has spent its fi ve minutes of talk time.

They’ll never be popular, except maybe with the de-velopers. They will, more often than not, approve de-velopment, even if it hurts the little guy. It’s done, in theory, for the greater good. It’s what they did when your subdivision, your grocery store and your offi ce build-ing were approved.

Whenever two oppos-ing forces come together, there’s high drama. That’s what makes MPC meetings interesting. They’re better than a soap opera.

The “platinum” plans come close, covering 90 percent of costs on aver-age, but are prohibitively expensive for many. “Silver” plans, covering 70 percent, are the most purchased.

Hypocrisy in academia is at least a change of pace from rampant political hy-pocrisy. But with the latter on full display in East Ten-nessee last week, it couldn’t

be ignored.Lamar Alexander and

Bob Corker, Tennessee’s full complement of U.S. senators, were eager to be seen with President Barack Obama as he visited Big Or-ange Country.

Neither made an appear-ance during Obama’s earlier treks to Tennessee (Nash-ville and Memphis), so is it growing admiration for his

leadership that drew them this time?

During a Nov. 20, 2014, interview on Fox, Corker, riled over Obama’s deci-sion to take executive ac-tion on immigration, called his presidency the “worst in modern history.” Obama is “weak,” Corker said, and acting like “a 13-year-old.”

I don’t hear the Carpen-ters singing “Close to You” in that rant. They must want to praise his signature legis-lation.

“The health-care law is an historic mistake that should be delayed, dis-mantled, repealed and re-placed,” Alexander said in a speech before the Senate on Sep. 27, 2013.

Oops.Corker? He voted against

passage of a continuing res-olution that included fund-ing Obamacare and instead supported U.S. Rep. Marsha Blackburn’s bill to repeal it.

No denying that ignor-ing one’s own hypocrisy can

be politically useful. And, while sharing a platform with the president, some of the “weakness” that has

steered the country clear of economic and diplomatic disaster for six years might rub off on our senators.

You understand as well as I do that time fl ows in one direction, and nothing we can do, say or think will change that. On refl ection, I am grateful for that; other-wise, I might possibly have to live some days over and over until I get them right!

Even so, the turning of the year is a gift. Because we have chosen to “subdi-vide diurnity,” as Danish poet/philosopher/architect/city designer Piet Hein de-scribes it, we can deal with time in chunks, rather than be overwhelmed by its im-mensity.

I am willing to take my days, my blessings and my woes one at a time!

There is something fresh and promising about a new year. We have a chance to start over. A new year places us at a new starting line: we have a clean slate; we can change ourselves, our bod-ies, our habits, our outlook.

So, this year, what will

When my mother was a stay-at-home mom, her annual January gift to her-self was to put away all the Christmas paraphernalia and then settle in to re-read “Gone with the Wind.” (Her copy of that book eventu-ally fell apart and had to be rebound; it sits in a place of honor on my bookshelf to-day.)

What will you give your-self in the New Year?

By Cindy Taylor “2014 was a year of bless-

ings for me and the congre-gation at Glenwood Baptist,” said the Rev. Travis Hender-son. “My youngest daughter came to know Christ and I had the honor of baptizing her.”

Henderson says God worked in the lives of many others as well.

“I saw people who had never been involved in church develop a deep love for Christ.”

Henderson says Glen-wood Baptist Church of Pow-ell had a great year of serv-ing the community through the John 5 food pantry, which usually serves 20-25 families each month. In No-vember they were blessed to

be able to cook, serve and sit down to Thanksgiving

dinner with the families who come to the pan-try.

T h e c h u r c h started a new Sunday school class for young

adults, and it is now the largest and fastest growing class.

Henderson says 2014 was a good year, but he’s even more excited by what God has in store for 2015.

“My hope and prayer for Glenwood is that we can proclaim the word of God and extend the love of

Christ to our community and the world greater than we ever have before.”

Henderson hopes that Glenwood Baptist can help people fi nd what they are searching for in life.

“People search in differ-ent ways: through money, power, relationships, pos-sessions, etc. My hope is that we can tell about, show and lead them to the only thing that can fi ll the void in their lives – a relationship with Jesus.”

The congregation at Glenwood wants to show people that church is not a closed community, a coun-try club or a place of judg-ment. It is not about a style of music, what you wear or the programs. He says that

Glenwood’s plan for 2015 is threefold: praying together, studying God’s word and serving in a greater way than ever before.

“I hope we can show that church is not a place you come to, but is God’s people gathered together to wor-ship and honor Him. We want Glenwood to glorify God by loving and serving our community. We want to show that God’s love, grace and mercy are available to all who would believe from our doorsteps to the ends of the earth.”

By Wendy SmithJewish clothing designer

Hedy Strnad was all but forgotten after her death in the Holocaust. But dresses created from a handful of her designs give insight into a world where even talented, professional Jews with American connections couldn’t escape the Nazis.

The story began in Prague and continued to Milwaukee. Now, thanks to a Knoxville connection, it will be told here.

Ellie Gettinger and Ellen Iroff grew up worshipping together at Heska Amuna Synagogue. Gettinger, infl uenced by a scholarship trip to Israel, chose a Jewish professional career and became the educator of the Jewish Museum Milwaukee (JMM). Iroff, who was active in Bearden High School’s drama department, studied costume design at the College of Charleston and eventually became the school’s costume shop manager. That makes them the perfect duo to tell Hedy’s story.

A letter from Hedy’s husband, Paul Strnad, was discovered in the basement of a home in a Milwaukee suburb in 1997. The letter, mailed to Paul’s American cousin in 1939, included a photo of the couple and eight of Hedy’s dress designs.

A stitch in timeThe package was intended to prove that the couple could support themselves if granted a visa to the U.S.− their only possible escape from a situation that was growing increasingly dire for Jews in Czechoslovakia.

In spite of the cousin’s efforts, the Strnads didn’t escape.

The letter and designs were put on display at the museum in 2008. Interest in the material led to further research on the couple and a commission for the Milwaukee Repertory Theater’s costume shop to recreate Hedy’s designs.

Five people worked on the dresses for over a year. They even silk-screened fabrics to match the prints in the designs, says Barb Levin, Ellie Gettinger’s mother.

The result is an exhibit at JMM called “Stitching History from the Holocaust.” The dresses are especially poignant because they demonstrate Hedy’s remarkable talent, Levin says.

“When you walk into the room (with the dresses), there’s a loud noise because

they are really loud and chattery.”

The community is invited to hear Gettinger and Iroff speak about the exhibit at two events at the Arnstein Jewish Community Center, 6800 Deane Hill Drive.

At 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 18, they will show a 30-minute PBS documentary on the exhibit, and Iroff will discuss the skills used to replicate the historical dress designs. At 10:30 a.m. on Sunday, Jan. 19, both women will discuss the role of dressmaking and tailoring in the Jewish experience.

Paul and Hedy’s story isn’t just about one couple, Levin says. It’s about two brothers who each raised a family − one in Prague and one in Milwaukee. The American side of the family is alive and well, while the Czech side was extinguished.

But it’s also a story of hope. Even though Hedy lost her life, she has been immortalized through the exhibit.

“It’s a remembrance, not only of what was lost in the Holocaust, but of the potential for life beyond that,” says Levin.

absence of trauma.

Researchers estimate that about 20 percent of American women over the age of 50 have osteoporosis. In addition, another 30 percent of them have osteopenia, which is abnormally low bone density that may eventually deteriorate into osteoporosis, if not treated. About half of all women over the age of 50 will suffer a fracture of the hip, wrist, or vertebra.

There are no symptoms in the early stages of osteoporosis. Symptoms oc-curring late in the disease include low back pain, neck pain, bone pain and tenderness, loss of height over time and stooped posture.

Chiropractic care works on relieving symptoms and complications associated with osteoporosis.

Next time: TMJ

By Dr. Donald G. Wegener

Osteoporosis is the thinning of bone tis-sue and loss of bone density over time. Os-teoporosis is the most common type of bone disease. There are currently an estimated 10 million Americans

suffering from osteoporosis, as well as another 18 million who have low bone mass, or osteopenia.

Osteoporosis occurs when the body fails to form enough new bone, or when too much old bone is reab-sorbed by the body, or both. Calcium and phosphate are two minerals that are essential for normal bone forma-tion. Throughout youth, the body uses these minerals to produce bones. If calcium intake is not suffi cient, or if the body does not absorb enough calcium from the diet, bone produc-tion and bone tissues may suffer.

Drivers in Tennessee and North Carolina can kick off the New Year by joining the 32,000 others who own vehicles with Friends of the Smokies license plates.

Sales of specialty license plates in North Carolina and Tennessee support priority projects in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Projects include Student Con-servation Association internship positions, Parks as Class-rooms and Appalachian Trail Ridgerunner programs in both states.

Seasonal environmental student interns gain a deeper understanding of park ecology while conducting scientifi c research, assisting with resource management projects and eradicating non-native plants and pests.

Through the Parks as Classrooms program, approxi-mately 18,000 students visit the Smokies each year for ranger-led, curriculum-based environmental education. By utilizing the national park as a science classroom, stu-dents develop an appreciation for the natural and cultural resources in subject areas including math and science.

The Appalachian Trail Ridgerunner program works to protect resources and enhance the hiking experience along the AT within the national park. Ridgerunners educate backpackers and day hikers, clear trail debris, report emer-gencies and pack out litter along more than 70 miles of the AT in the park.

Friends of the Smokies specialty license plates can be purchased for $35 in Tennessee and $30 in North Carolina, independent of plate expiration date. Plates may be pur-chased at DMV license plate tag offi ces and online at www.FriendsOfTheSmokies.org.

Start the New Year with a new license plate

knows war movies. His “Flags of Our Fathers” and “Letters From Iwo Jima” are two of the best in recent years.

“American Sniper” had the potential to make it a trifecta, but Eastwood can’t fi gure out what kind of war movie he’s trying to make.

Based on the story of Chris Kyle, whose like-titled autobiography spent months on the best-seller lists, “American Sniper” has a strong central perfor-mance but little nuance oth-erwise. The one thing that’s inarguable is that Bradley Cooper makes a tremen-dous physical transforma-tion and powerfully conveys the growing inner discon-nect between military and home life.

Eastwood and screen-writer Jason Hall jump around in time at fi rst, but even that gives way to a mostly orthodox chronol-ogy.

Chris Kyle (Cooper) is a Texas rodeo rider who de-cides it’s his duty to defend his country. He joins the Navy SEALs and soon after his training is fi nished he is deployed to Iraq.

Trained as a sniper, he proves exceptionally good at his job, gaining the nick-name “Legend” for his re-cord number of kills. But when he goes home to his wife, Taya (Sienna Miller), he keeps his feelings and experiences to himself.

Chris returns for tour af-ter tour, passionately dedi-cating himself to protecting his brothers in arms. But he can’t save everyone, and unless he fi nds a way to ad-dress his inner demons, he may not be able to save him-self, or his marriage.

“American Sniper” feels right in the details of the Iraq war: the danger, the diffi culty, the tunnel vision of trying to kill the enemy before he or she kills you. It also shows how Chris tries – and fails – to keep his work life separate from his home life with Taya and their growing family.

But each aspect starts to seem redundant, especially Taya’s pleas for Chris to open up to her. And while the script – rightly – refus-es to let in any political or historical revisionism, that only adds to the simplistic nature of the fi lm.

“American Sniper” doesn’t foreshadow – it

blares. His father preaches a message of defending oth-ers, so Chris joins the mili-tary. Young Chris showed a talent for hunting, so he becomes a sniper. Macho cowboy Chris discovers his girlfriend being unfaithful, so macho SEAL Chris fi nds an attractive woman, gently woos her and starts making plans for his version of their perfect life.

Chris never questions the mission, and he takes it as inevitable that a col-league who does should die. If that’s how it went down, that’s fi ne. But after the lengthy buildup to Chris’s inner torture, the solution comes at warp speed. The breakthrough seems too convenient.

Cooper’s bulked-up gi-ant deserves better. The intensity he creates is pal-pable. The pain within him is wrenching.

Simplistic in so many ways, “American Sniper” denies the audience the light-bulb moment that en-sures a connection.

It robs the story of the catharsis it should have earned and makes the de-nouement feel like an after-thought.

Pardon the cliché, but this weekend’s new movies offer something for practi-cally everyone.

For Oscar bait and war-movie fans, there’s “Ameri-can Sniper,” starring Brad-ley Cooper and directed by Clint Eastwood. (Please see review, this page.)

For the moviegoing main-stream, there’s “Blackhat,” a timely thriller starring Chris “Thor” Hemsworth. Hemsworth plays a jailed hacker recruited by the gov-ernment and furloughed to help stop another hacker who’s trying to collapse the world’s fi nancial markets.

Viola Davis and Wei Tang co-star in the thriller di-rected by Michael Mann, whose last big-screen di-recting gig was 2009’s “Pub-

Cooper impresses, but ‘Sniper’ misses mark

lic Enemies.”For families, there’s

“Paddington,” based on the beloved books by Michael Bond. The lovable Peruvian bear is alone in a London train station until the kindly Brown family fi nds him and takes him home. It looks like a happy ending for Pad-dington until an evil muse-um curator (Nicole Kidman) fi nds out about the unusual talking bear.

A top-notch British cast

– Hugh Bonneville, Sally Hawkins, Jim Broadbent, Julie Walters, Michael Gam-bon and Imelda Staunton – stars. Ben Whishaw pro-vides the voice of Padding-ton, who is entirely com-puter generated. Paul King directed.

Finally, for lovers of raunchy comedy, “The Wed-ding Ringer” fi lls the void. Kevin Hart plays a best-man-for-hire who attempts to save the day for a shy young groom trying to im-press his in-laws.

Josh Gad, Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting, Josh Peck, Jorge Garcia, Cloris Leachman, Mimi Rogers and Jenifer Lewis round out the eclectic cast. Screenwriter Jeremy Garelick makes his feature-directing debut.

The Grill at Highlands Row

I can never enter The Grill at Highlands Row without a fl ashback to An-drew Morton’s Fine Gifts, one of Knoxville’s premier gift shops that operated at the location.

Folks older than I, how-ever, will quickly point out that The Grill at Highlands Row has actually returned the building at 4705 Old Kingston Pike to its original use. The Highlands Grill was one of Knoxville’s fi nest dining establishments from the early 1930s to the early 1960s.

The new restaurant was opened in 2010 by Knoxville developer Tom Weiss, Chad Barger and Pat McMullan. They feature sophisticated Southern cuisine and strive to buy locally whenever pos-sible. Steaks and seafood are favorites on the menu, and guests are always eager to see what culinary twists the chef has put on tradi-tional Southern favorites.

For my night out at High-lands, I went for the grilled pork tenderloin. I was hav-ing a hard time deciding between the tenderloin and the mountain trout, primar-ily because I don’t like col-lard greens, which was one of the side dishes with the tenderloin. The kind waiter let me substitute the col-lards for the roasted acorn squash, which came with the trout, so I was happy.

The master griller knew what he or she was doing with the pork tenderloin. Beautifully presented with grill marks and cooked per-fectly with just a whisper of pink, the pork was fork-ten-der and delicious. The dark

rum whipped sweet pota-toes and aforementioned acorn squash were incred-ible accompaniments to the pork.

My only complaint was the brandy peppercorn sauce under the pork ten-derloin. I was really look-

ing forward to that sauce, expecting the warm, dark sweetness of brandy with just a hint of heat from the peppercorns. The pepper-corns stole the show, howev-er, and I found myself avoid-ing the sauce as I gobbled up the wonderful tenderloin.

By Carol ShaneJanuary isn’t typically

thought of as the cheeri-est month, what with the brightness of the holidays over and done with and tax season looming. Add in the usual cold, gray weather, and you’ve got a prescrip-tion for downheartedness.

But there’s plenty of color around if you know where to look.

The Arts and Culture Al-liance of Knoxville is cur-rently presenting the works of seven East Tennessee art-ists in “New Group Exhibi-tion in the Balcony,” which opened with a warm, con-vivial reception at the Em-porium Center on Jan. 9.

Visitors mingled, snacked on treats from the Melting Pot, viewed the art-work and visited with par-ticipating artists.

Lynn Corsi Bland from Gatlinburg mixes wax with oil to create her colorful, blocked abstracts. She says the wax “gives the oil body so you can move it around.” She uses various tools, in-cluding a palette knife and a brayer (a type of hand roll-er) to manipulate the paint.

Bland has taught at the Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts along with an-other featured artist, Jen-nifer Willard, whose fabric works borrow from fairy tales. Using embroidery on hand-dyed material, Wil-lard incorporates darker, more ambiguous aspects of the stories to add an in-triguing conceptual layer to

the hand-stitched pieces. Tony Sobota’s brilliant

draftsmanship takes cen-ter stage in his paintings, most of which feature some kind of industrial presence: a spark-spitting smelter, a conveyor belt tower, steel girders, coal-mining appa-ratuses. The viewer can al-most hear the clang and feel the weight of these immense machines. “I love the archi-tecture of industry,” says Sobota, “and I’ve become a downright factory junkie of late.”

Sobota is also interested in “manmade versus living realities,” so human ele-ments are often included: a rumpled coal miner, a mus-ing face.

Tony Henson’s big, viv-id abstract-expressionist works dominate much of one wall of the exhibit. Eight years ago, he broke his

right hand – yes, he’s right-handed – in three places in “a stupid accident.” Hen-son, who up until then had been a representational artist, found that he could no longer hold a brush or pen, even after a period of recovery. He experimented with applying paint to can-vas directly with his hands. As he healed, he moved on to using tools such as squee-gees and palette knives and, eventually, brushes.

He now says the accident “was a blessing because my paintings got better!”

The Shopper’s own copy editor, Emily Shane, has seven pieces in the show. Shane uses discarded book covers with bright graphic designs to create optical fl ights of fancy. “Oasis,” an installation consisting of nine squares, appears to contain many layers. Some

viewers see a pool in the depths; others imagine that they’re gazing through the piece to the sky. “I like mak-ing art that doesn’t try to tell a story,” Shane says. “Ten people can look at the same piece and see it 10 different ways.”

Beth Meadows’ paintings superimpose a punked-out model in unlikely settings like the great hall from “The Sound of Music.” Her work has been shown at Old City Java and Relix Variety Theatre. A transplant from Memphis, Meadows runs The Salvage Room for the nonprofi t Knox Heritage and is also the director of the 17th Street Studios.

Terina Gillette teaches art classes for all ages in her Holston Hills home. Her pieces show a love for texture. “I call them wall sculpture,” she says. Gillette

also provides chalk art for various local businesses, in-cluding the popular Dean’s Restaurant in Fountain City. Like all seven artists featured in the show, she is driven by her creative vi-sion.

“I like to say that she has an affair with a guy named ‘Art,’” says Gillette’s hus-

band, Daniel, “and if she doesn’t see him occasion-ally, she gets irritable!”

The “New Group Exhibi-tion in the Balcony” runs through Jan. 31 at the Em-porium Center, 100 S. Gay St. Hours and info: www.knoxalliance.com.Send story suggestions to news@shop-

facilities, purchased last fall by Fortress Investment Group, provide residential units for people needing services in memory care and assisted living. The proper-ties are under the manage-ment of Blue Harbor Senior Living, whose headquarters are in Portland, Ore.

Regional sales leader Caroline Wilder said the properties were renamed: Maple Court Senior Liv-ing in Powell and Raintree Terrace Senior Living in Bearden. Fortress has 24 properties nationwide, but these are the only two in Tennessee, she said.

Maple Court is a 56-bed memory-care facility for those with dementia or Al-zheimer’s who need secure living conditions.

Wilder said in the indus-try it is known as a “stand-alone memory-care neigh-borhood.” It offers residents both security and interior freedom to move about the building. Dementia behav-iors include wandering, so this facility gives residents the space to do that, she said.

“What I love about Maple Court is that it doesn’t feel like a memory-care neigh-borhood,” Wilder said. “Typically speaking, mem-ory care is kind of closed off and away from – and secured from – everything. The fact that it’s a specialty built-alone memory-care (facility) means that once you walk in the secured doors in the front of the building, everything’s open. There’s a beautiful indoor courtyard.”

The enclosed courtyard gives residents a safe place to go outside and even work in raised-bed gardens.

Raintree Terrace offers both memory-care and assisted-living units. The memory-care unit has 16 beds while the assisted-liv-ing area has 48 beds.

Wilder said Raintree has a condo-like atmosphere because of the amenities.

“When you walk into the dining room, there’s a large stacked-stone fi replace that’s just gorgeous. Off the dining room, there are two doors that go to a covered deck. Downstairs in our memory care, there’s a pri-vate secured patio so that the residents can enjoy the outdoors in a secured envi-ronment.”

Both facilities offer indi-vidual or double-occupancy rooms, which provide so-cialization and lower resi-dency costs.

“We offer companion suites, or shared suites, as an alternative,” she said. “It’s particularly helpful in memory care because stud-ies show that individuals with Alzheimer’s or demen-tia do better socially when they have a roommate.”

Amanda Spencer is the executive director at Rain-tree, and Cindy Winegar, who started this month, is the executive director of Maple Court. Both directors have been in the business for years, Wilder added.

The senior living resi-dences have full-time din-ing services and 24-hour nursing care, and each has about 30 employees, in-cluding activities directors. Residents go for group out-ings such as a recent trip to Gatlinburg. Wilder said the centers also hold family nights and holiday dinners.

Good tidings for real estate marketsNews From The Register Of Deeds

By Sherry WittA strong December

closed the 2014 calen-dar for both real estate and lend-ing markets in Knox County. For the month, there were 866 prop-

erty sales in Knox County, comparing favorably to the 729 transfers from last De-cember, as well as the 735 sales registered in Novem-ber 2014.

The total value of prop-erty sold during December came in at just a fraction over $200 million – an im-

provement of some $43 mil-lion over sales from Decem-ber 2013. Mortgage lending also fi nished with a surge. The month of December saw nearly $341 million loaned against real estate in Knox County, the most since July, and $34 million more than in December 2013.

The largest property transfer involved the Hamp-ton Inn & Suites at 11340 Campbell Lakes Drive in West Knox County. The parcel sold for $11,725,000. The largest real estate loan of the month was a $31 mil-lion trust deed fi nancing the Sherrill Hills Retirement Community.

Initial analysis of data from 2014 indicates a mod-

est improvement in the overall value of property sales. The year produced 9,989 transfers with an ag-gregate value of $2.29 bil-lion, compared with $2.1 billion in 2013. Mortgage lending in 2014 was well off the pace set the previ-ous year, as $3.27 billion was loaned against property compared with $3.74 billion in 2013; however, a strong fourth quarter did help close the gap.

I hope you enjoyed a safe and joyous holiday season, and on behalf of all of us at the Register’s offi ce I want to wish all of you a very hap-py, healthy and prosperous new year.

By Cindy Taylor The most important in-

gredients for baking are real butter and love. This is ac-cording to Powell resident and baker Alexandria Hei-merman.

“I have known since I was 13 years old that I wanted to go into the food industry,” she said. “I started out in college getting my business degree but just couldn’t wait to go to culinary school, so I dropped out and moved to California.”

There Heimerman en-rolled in Le Cordon Bleu, got her culinary degree and ended up working at St. Re-gis Hotel and with greats such as Wolfgang Puck. She worked in his catering busi-ness at red carpet events like the Grammys.

“It was very nerve-wrack-ing when he was there, be-cause I was still a student.”

But her heart was in cre-ating pastries and desserts. After a while, dealing with the cost of living in Cali-fornia became too much, and she really missed her family. Two years ago Hei-merman moved back home

to Knoxville to be closer to them and to start The Flour Shoppe.

The Flour Shoppe is op-erated out of Heimerman’s home and relies on word-of-mouth for clients. She is searching for a storefront in Powell so she can really get her business off the ground.

“I am working on my business plan. I mainly want to do pastries, cakes and cookies,” she said. “But I really miss the ocean and hope to have a second store near a beach.”

While we talked, Hei-merman prepped a batch of white chocolate cherry cookies. Once they were in the oven, the delicious scent fi lled the bakery, currently set up in the basement of her house. She also bakes gluten-free and diabetic-friendly desserts.

Heimerman has cher-ished recipes handed down from her great grandmother Marie Morton (who is still living at 93) and her great, great grandmother. Two of their recipes, chocolate pie and crème puffs, are Hei-merman’s best sellers today.

By Bonny C. MillardA new center in Knoxville

is helping connect people who want to volunteer their time to nonprofi t organiza-tions in need.

Volunteer Knoxville was created last year, and after a nationwide search, Alexan-

dria Brown-fi eld was hired as the fi rst execu-tive direc-tor. Brown-fi eld, who was manag-ing a volun-teer center in St. Louis,

shared information with the Rotary Club of Knoxville about Volunteer Knoxville’s mission.

The organization now has about 75 nonprofi t partners, and that number is increas-ing. A new website lists the partners, along with brief profi les so that people can learn about different orga-nizations and fi nd volunteer opportunities in real time, Brownfi eld said.

Both individuals and or-ganizations can sign up at the website. Those looking for opportunities can search using keywords and/or en-ter how far they’re willing to travel.

Brownfi eld said that one

Tennessean in four current-ly volunteers for a total of 149.5 million hours of ser-vice worth $3.4 billion.

“There are many benefi ts of volunteering,” Brown-fi eld said. “Not only to your personal satisfaction, but you’re making a difference to your community. You’re sharing your time and tal-ents to truly solve commu-nity problems. You’re also strengthening your commu-nity. You’re improving lives of local clients of nonprofi t organizations, and you’re connecting to others.”

Rotarian Frank Ro-thermel, who introduced Brownfi eld, chaired a Lead-ership Knoxville commit-tee to create a project for its 30th anniversary, and the result was the volunteer center, which is an indepen-dent organization, he said.

The Volunteer Knoxville website keeps a civic tran-script of each volunteer’s ef-forts so they have a record. Young people can boost their resumés and some-times have to do commu-nity service as part of their educational requirements, Brownfi eld said. By volun-teering, they are building skill sets for future employ-ment.

Most of her favorites have been tweaked from the beginnings of other recipes. She is currently working on her own special chocolate chip cookie recipe.

“My mom always made sure we had special, amaz-ing cakes for our birthdays that she made, but I am the only professional baker in my family.” Heimerman said the memories of those special cakes were probably what got her interested in baking.

“I hope to start a compa-ny where my children want to work in the family bak-ing business and it can be passed down to them.”

The Broadacres Home-owners Facebook page was

blowing up over the holi-days with posts from Hei-merman’s clients. Without fail, everyone bragged about the quality of her creations. Heimerman says one of the secret ingredients in all of her baking is her own homemade vanilla.

Heimerman has won nu-merous awards for her pies and pastries including fi rst place trophies at the 2014 Great Cake Bake and the 2014 Southern Woman Pie Contest. Quite a list of ac-complishments for someone who is only 23 years old.

To read more about Hei-merman or to order one of her special creations, visit her Facebook page or call 949-325-4680.

Knoxville’s Mary Boyce Temple moved into either Washington’s Mayfl ower or Wil-lard hotel during each winter’s so-cial season. There she practiced the skills that had made her mother famous for hosting at her Melrose Estate, entertaining celebrities such as Gov. William G. Brownlow, presi-dential candidate John Bell, and Civil War generals John G. Foster and Ulysses S. Grant.

Born on July 6, 1856, Mary Boyce Temple was the only child of Judge Oliver Perry Temple (1820-1907) and Scotia C. Hume Temple (1832-1889). O.P. Temple was a staunch Union-ist in the days leading up to the Civil War and became one of the most celebrated jurists of his day.

He was a busy practicing attorney before he became chancellor of the Eighth Chan-cery district (1866-1870) and of the Second District (1870-1878). At one point he had the highest personal income of anyone in Knox County. As a member of the Univer-sity of Tennessee board of Trustees for 54 years, he was an early and persistent pro-moter of improvements in agriculture and transportation.

Of his four published books, “East Ten-nessee and the Civil War” (1899) has been the most infl uential, with its detailed ac-count of the events leading up to Tennes-see’s secession, the Bridge Burning Inci-dent and the Great Locomotive Chase.

From 1862 to 1865, the Temple family lived at Melrose Estate, among the fi nest in Knox County, where they entertained many visiting dignitaries. Now the site of UT’s Hess Hall, Temple’s 20 acres contained the impressive Melrose mansion, experimental

fl ower and vegetable gardens, an extensive fruit orchard and an outstanding collection

of ornamental shrubs and trees.Mary Boyce attended lo-cal schools and graduated

from Vassar College with a bachelor’s degree in

1887. When she re-turned to Knoxville, she found her mother in ill health, and the two traveled widely seeking a physician or climate that would help her. However, Scotia Hume Temple passed away in May

1889 while they were in New York City. Her

body was returned to Knoxville and in-terred in Old Gray Cemetery where a tall obelisk was placed in her honor.

Miss Temple lived with her father for

many years in a home at the southeast cor-ner of Market and Cumberland. The house also became a center of Knoxville’s social life, where Mary Boyce assisted her father with hosting and with the research and writing that would result in the publication of his four books. Her father passed away in 1907, and she completed the editing of his fourth book, “Notable Men of Tennes-see (1833 to 1875),” which was published in 1912.

Along with Lizzie Crozier French, Tem-ple organized the Ossoli Circle in 1885 and was elected its fi rst president.

In 1893, she organized the Bonny Kate Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR), named for the second wife of John Sevier. In recognition of her work at the local, state and national level, Gov. Benton McMillan appointed Temple to represent Tennessee at the Paris Expo-sition in 1900. She would later represent the state in Stockholm and Rio de Janeiro.
