On a recent afternoon, Joe Carson opened his mailbox in Concord and pulled out an envelope. Inside, the 72-year-old found a document with the State of Tennessee’s official seal. It was a Senate Joint Resolution, written to recognize his efforts in the 2026 National Senior Olympic Games. Last summer, Carson joined forces with players from North Carolina to win a gold medal in 3-on-3 basketball at the games in Des Moines, Iowa.

Dressing without limits

Launching her new online boutique, Mimi JAX Collection, on April 3, Farragut resident Mimi Jackson has found a new way to serve the community. After a successful two weeks following the launch of her business, “I am so excited for what’s ahead with Mimi JAX Collection,” she said. “I just launched my website April 3,” Jackson added. “I’m completely online. I’m offering women’s apparel.” With her young spirit, “I love to dress, maybe, in a way that makes me feel younger,” she said. “I don’t ever want to be defined by my age, and I want to inspire other women to do that. “I want them to be confident, to choose different clothing styles than what they’ve worn before,” Jackson added. “So, while I obviously run in circles of women of my same age, my boutique is geared to women of 18 to 75.
