The Story of Music City Nashville, Tennessee
Volume 19, No. 9, Section A

September 2019
rom its very beginnings, Nashville grew from a foundation built on music. Music has been the common thread connecting the life and soul of the city and its people. And visitors have ventured here to experience the music that weaves such a fundamental pattern in its cultural, business, and social fabric.
The Beginning
Nashville’s earliest settlers celebrated in the late 1700s with fiddle tunes and buck dancing after safely disembarking on the shores of the Cumberland River. Nashville’s first “celebrity,” the noted frontiersman and Congressman Davy Crockett, was known far and wide for his colorful stories and fiddle playing.
where it stayed until 1974. Country Music Hall of Fame stars Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline, George Jones, Dolly Parton, Charley Pride, and Elvis all performed at the Opry on the Ryman stage for the first time. In 1925, the establishment of radio station WSM and its launch of the broadcast that would be called the Grand Ole Opry further secured Nashville’s reputation as a musical center and sparked its durable nickname of Music City. The Opry, still staged live every week, is America’s longest-running radio show, in continuous production for more than 90 years. It ignited the careers of hundreds of country stars and lit the fuse for Nashville to explode into a geographic center for touring and recording. The modern-day empire of Music Row, a collection of recording studios, record labels, entertainment offices, and other music-associated businesses, populates the area around 16th and 17th Avenues South. In December 1945, when Bill Monroe played his mandolin at the Ryman with Lester Flatt playing guitar, Chubby Wise on fiddle, and Howard Watts on bass, a new musical genre of bluegrass music was created on the famous stage. Banjo player Earl Scruggs later joined the group. Today the Ryman celebrates 125 years as one of the most famous concert venues in America where stars who normally play arenas and even stadiums perform in the 2,362-seat venue. The long list of famous Ryman performers includes Bruce Springsteen, Garth Brooks, Paul Simon, The Foo Fighters, Aretha Franklin, Jack White, James Brown, Neil

Historic Venues
The most famous music venue in Nashville, the Ryman Auditorium, was built in 1892 when riverboat captain Tom Ryman completed what was originally named the ”Union Gospel Tabernacle.” When it opened, it was the largest auditorium south of the Ohio River. It is nicknamed the “Carnegie Hall of the South” and attracts musicians and fans from all across the world. The Ryman has received Pollstar magazine’s prestigious “Theater of the Year” award seven times in the past 10 years as the best auditorium in the nation to experience live music. The Fisk Jubilee Singers were one of the first musical concerts in the building, which was renamed in honor of Captain Ryman after his death in 1904. The Ryman was managed by Lula Naff from 1904-1955, and she booked the top musical acts of the era in the building, including Marian Anderson, Caruso, Sandra Bernhardt, Louis Armstrong, John Philip Sousa, and Nat King Cole. In 1943, it was Lula Naff who brought the Grand Ole Opry (which started in 1925) into the Ryman every weekend

The Name of Music City
As the 1800s unfolded, Nashville grew to become a national center for music publishing. The first around-the-world tour by a musical act was by the Fisk Jubilee Singers from Nashville’s Fisk University. Their efforts helped fund the school’s mission of educating freed slaves after the Civil War – and also put Nashville on the map as a global music center. In fact, upon playing for the Queen of England, the queen stated the Fisk Jubilee Singers must come from the “Music City.”
Country Music Hall of Fame
Diamond, and Diana Ross. The Ryman is also open for daily tours where visitors can stand on its famous stage, watch a film of the history of the building, view clothes of Opry performers, and see Ryman memorabilia.
How the Legacy Continues
Nashville has also long been known as the “Songwriting Capital of the World.” Songwriters from all across the globe come to Music City to learn the art and share their passion of songwriting. The famous Bluebird Cafe showcases songwriters performing their original music in an intimate “in the round” setting that was created in Nashville and allows them to share the stories of inspiration behind their songs. Nashville Songwriters Association International (NSAI), which fosters the art of songwriting and works to protect artists’
rights, is headquartered here. The annual Tin Pan South Songwriters Festival puts these songwriters somewhere they’re not use to being: In the spotlight. During the course of five days, more than 300 songwriters perform at venues around town. In recent years, cable television has broadcast Music City’s stars and music to the world. CMT and GAC have taken country music to a new level of acclaim and recognition. The gospel music series hosted by Nashville’s Bobby Jones on Black Entertainment Television was cable’s longest-running program. Bobby Jones Gospel came to an end in 2017 after 37 successful years. Nashville has also become a hub for pop, rock, bluegrass, Americana, jazz, classical, contemporary Christian, blues, and soul continued on page 2A ...

music. Rolling Stone recently gave Nashville the title of “Best Music Scene.” Artists like Robert Plant, Kid Rock, Black Eyed Peas, Bon Jovi, and Michael Buble, among many others, have come to Music City to write and record. Names like Kings of Leon, Justin Timberlake, The Black Keys, Keith Urban, Michael McDonald, Keb’ Mo’, Sheryl Crow, Paramore, Hot Chelle Rae, and Jack White have chosen to call Nashville home. Nashville is home to United Record Pressing, North America’s largest volume producing vinyl record plant. Opened in 1949, United Record Pressing has pressed vinyl records for everyone from Miles Davis, Bob Dylan, and The Beatles to Beyonce, Justin Timberlake, and Ludacris. The Schermerhorn Symphony Center, home to the renowned, GRAMMY award-winning Nashville Symphony, anchors the downtown end of the recently designated Music Mile. The Music Mile is a symbolic stretch of roadway connecting the $123 million Symphony Center with the music district of Music Row, the vibrant new entertainment venues on
Demonbreun Street, the Frist Art Museum, the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, the Music City Walk of Fame, and the Bridgestone Arena. The Music Mile perfectly illustrates how the music of Music City is indeed a common thread throughout the business, cultural, and entertainment sectors of Nashville. Live music can be seen and heard every day and night of the week in Nashville. The world-famous honky tonks, located on Broadway, offer free live music 365 days a year. And with more than 180 music venues around town, ranging from large arenas and concert halls to small clubs and featuring nearly every genre of music, it’s easy to see why this is the city that “music calls home.” Nashville’s connection to music is unequaled, and its reputation as Music City has been consistently proven for more than 200 years. Welcome to the city where music is written, recorded, and performed every single day. Welcome to Music City. For more information, visit www. visitmusiccity.com.

Radon Mitigation Is All Radon1 Does!
A
n invisible and odorless gas, radon is released from the earth that gets trapped in basements, homes, and businesses. The second leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S., radon is responsible for an estimated 21,000 deaths annually. Unfortunately, Tennessee is a hotbed for radon. Radon levels are measured by units of radioactivity per volume of air, called
picocuriesper liter (pCi/L). The EPA recommends treating homes with any level over 4.0 pCi/L. In Tennessee, 31 counties are listed as ZONE 1, meaning that homes in this zone are likely to have radon levels higher than 4 pCi/L. These counties include most of Middle and East Tennessee. Living in a home with radon levels higher than 4 pCi/L is equivalent to receiving 200 chest x-rays each and every year.
Tennessee’s premier radon mitigation company with more than 15 years of experience, Radon1, guarantees homeowners clean, safe air. And it all starts with a phone call or email to Radon1. Specializing in radon testing and mitigation and using the latest equipment and technology, Radon1 will quickly test for radon gas present using only certified tests. If required, a stateof-the-art, custom mitigation system will be installed. Radon1 guarantees reduced annual radon levels (2.6 pCi/L) in your home, far below the levels established by the EPA (4.0 pCi/L). Radon mitigation is not a sideline or add-on service at Radon1. They don’t offer home inspection or pest control services. They offer guaranteed results and not just promises. The highly trained members of the
Radon1 team are certified by AARSTNRPP (American Association of Radon Scientists & Technologists and the National Radon Proficiency Program), which is your assurance that your home will be properly and accurately tested. Certified monitoring test results are always provided, and the mitigation guarantee is transferrable. With more than 5,000 installations and 15 years of experience, why would you trust your home and your family’s safety to anyone else?

September Highlights From the Publisher
or me, September brings a few things to mind such as cooler temperatures, colorful foliage, and fall festivals. The Smoky Mountains are especially striking during this season, which is why visitors travel to our area to enjoy our special corner of Tennessee. September begins with the Labor Day weekend signaling symbolically the end of summer. Labor Day is a day that is dedicated to the achievements of American workers and the contributions they make to the strength and prosperity of our country. In this edition of East Tennessee’s Mountain Views, we are pleased to highlight an entrepreneur and pharmacist who is following through on her decades-long dream of launching a totally new concept in pharmaceutical care. Ellen Phillips and her team invite you to experience believeRX, a pharmacy that is designed to help you “Live Your Best Life.” Ellen and her vision for believeRX is a great example of what we celebrate on Labor Day. We applaud Ellen and all the businesses that our magazine represents. You are the future of our nation, and we celebrate your efforts. Finally, I would be remiss if I did not mention another September day in our history – September 11. We at East Tennessee’s Mountain Views will always remember those that were lost on that fateful day and those that suffered losses. Let’s not forget this now historic day that changed everything. So enjoy September and the coming of the fall season. And yes, September in East Tennessee also means football! Let’s cheer our Vols on to victory!

With more than 120 pounds of produce from the garden, our chef and culinary team did a fantastic job creating a mouth-watering five-course meal for our members. The menu featured cold cucumber soup, sweet and spicy shrimp stir fry, grilled steak and ratatouille, tomato pie, and decadent chocolate eggplant torte. Each course received raving reviews. After the final course, the chef and wait staff received and applause from the audience for a job well done.

he real estate market in Tellico Village is hot. Most agents in the Village have multiple buyers looking for homes. How can you as a seller best take advantage of this opportunity? Do you know the difference in a buyer’s agent and a seller’s agent? A buyer’s agent tells you that they have numerous buyers who want to buy homes and that is why you should list with them. These agents are just what they imply – they are agents for buyers. What you need is a seller’s agent. Someone who works for you and looks out for your best interest. I started in 1986 as a seller’s agent working for Cooper Communities and later in 1989 when I started Village Realty. If you have a home to sell, call me. I will help you price it and market it. Buyer’s agents will try to get you to list at a low price so they can make a quick sale. In a market like today, you should get a price higher than just a few months ago due to the current short supply of inventory. List with me and I will work hard and use my years of experience to get you top dollar – not just a quick sale. Listing with me gets your home on knoxvillemls.com, realtor.com, trulia.com and zillow.com. Jim Doyel, GRI, CRS jimdoyel@aol.com 865-548-1947

How to Launch a Legionnaire of the Year Nuclear Warhead During the Cold War

he Titan II rocket was a second-generation, two stage, silo-stored, silo-launched, liquid propelled Intercontinental Ballistic Missile, or ICBM, that carried a nuclear warhead. When launched, it was specifically designed to fly to another continent. This rocket was stored in a hardened underground silo and was ready to launch at all times by military personnel who were also located in those underground silos. The rocket was developed at a time referred to as the Cold War between the United States and the former Soviet Union from the 1940s until about 1991. These rockets were set to launch only through
some very interrogate and precise launch procedures and only through a very short chain of command. Jim Rogers’ military service involved him in that process, where his training was so vital to a launch that only a few military commanders were between him and the President of the United States. At a recent American Legion meeting of Post 256, Mr. Rogers gave his fellow Legionnaires very explicate and detailed history of the method and procedures to launch a missile with a nuclear warhead. Veterans are invited to join Post 256 for more of these types of informative briefings. For more information about the American Legion, visit www.tellicolakepost256.org.

A Christmas Carol Auditions at The Arts Center in Athens
A
thens Community Theatre (ACT) announces auditions for the November production A Christmas Carol, adapted from the Charles Dickens novel by Autumn Carusillo and Brad McKenzie. Two opportunities to audition are Sunday, September 29, at 2 pm and Monday, September 30, at 6 pm at The Arts Center. Show dates for A Christmas Carol are November 15-24. Sunday’s audition is at The Arts Center in Athens. ACT invites actors age seven and older to audition for a role in the play in which British novelist and story-teller extraordinaire Charles Dickens invites us to join the journey of Ebenezer Scrooge one Christmas Eve night. Scrooge is known around town to be hardened, mean-spirited man with distinct disdain for charitable hearts, the afflicted, the infirm, the poor, and the Christmas season. He spends most of his time working in his counting house and declines any invitations extended to him to partake in any human connection. However, Scrooge’s bleak outlook and hardened heart are challenged when he is visited on the eve of Christmas by the ghost of his former partner, as well as the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Christmas Yet to Come. While journeying through the seasons of his life with each ghost, Scrooge learns about the true meaning of Christmas and the power of the human relationship. A Christmas Carol is directed by ACT veteran, Autumn Lowry Carusillo. Those auditioning will be asked to read from the script. The show is not a musical; however, there is some ensemble singing, and those auditioning will have an opportunity to indicate whether they are comfortable singing and moving on stage. Anyone interested in working with the production in any capacity (set and costume construction, technical crew, backstage crew, orchestra) is encouraged to attend an audition. The Arts Center is located at 320 North White Street in downtown Athens. Staff is available for questions during business hours, which are Monday through Friday from 10 am to 5 pm.

Reclaim Your Tile & Grout Floors

By christina Fitzwilliam, Co-Owner of Surface Doc, Inc.
f your floors are dingy no matter how much you clean them, we can help! Did you know that the more often you clean your tile and grout floors, the dingier and dirtier they appear? Over time, dirt and contaminants are absorbed into the porous surfaces of your floor. Cleaning chemicals often have the same effect. Your floor acts as a sponge and absorbs all sorts of foreign matter and locks it deep within where no amount of scrubbing will help its appearance. The unsuspecting homeowner will often try all sorts of cleaning chemicals in hopes of success, all the while making it worse. Sadly, traditional cleaning methods simply are not able to extract the grime that is embedded in your surfaces. If you are wondering how dirty your floors really are, simply compare the grout in an unused corner to the rest of the floor. You may be shocked.

FALL IN LOVE Remember that feeling when you just moved into your home? You were excited by the possibilities and new opportunities? Fall in love with your home again by updating your rooms. Sometimes it's as simple as rearranging your furniture with new artwork and accessories. Maybe what your space is needing is additional functionality, so you can enjoy your rooms to their fullest, Try using performance fabrics in frequently used rooms for ease of use. Make sure there are enough seats for frequent guests. Still not sure? Adding a splash of color with new accent pillows, and wallpaper can make a huge difference in any space! The options are endless, and you can go as creative as you want to make your home as unique as you are.
It takes a three-step process to extract the grime embedded below the surface. High heat opens the pores in your floor. Powerful suction draws the dirt out to be whisked away. High pressure and a quality emulsifier are also needed to complete the process of removing all the junk below the surface. ONLY the perfect combination of heat, extraction, and pressure will be effective. Many homeowners opt to have their newly cleaned floors sealed. Surface Doc’s sealer provides the ultimate protection for most hard surfaces, including natural stone floors, tile and grout, and concrete. The sealer’s molecules penetrate deep within and bond permanently together, creating a deep barrier of protection. John and his crew are experts at cleaning inside and out. They can tackle the biggest jobs, from kitchens and bathrooms to the driveway, pool, and deck. Surface Doc has become the leader in this area for hard surface

AACA Announces 2019-2020 Black Box Concert Series
T
his marks the 40th year Athens Area Council for the Arts (AACA) has presented world-class touring performances in Athens, TN. AACA announces a diverse lineup of performers. Just like seasons during the last four decades, this series offers something for everyone in four professional concerts in the Sue E. Trotter Black Box Theater at The Arts Center in Athens. Kyshona, a Nashville singer-songwriter, opens the season on Friday, September 6, at 7:30 pm. Kyshona opened for an artist in the 2018-2019 performance season, and our audience wanted more. Kyshona, a music therapist gone rouge, returns to the Black Box backed by a band. Audiences find a common thread of overcoming, hope, and empowerment in her songwriting and storytelling. Her bluesy and soulful music is unique and her vocal stylings are reminiscent of Aretha Franklin, Etta James, and Al Green. The 2019-2020 series continues Friday, November 1, with The Honey Dewdrops. Paste Magazine listed the American duo as one of the “10 Folk Artists You Need to Know in 2019.” Laura Wortman and Kagey Parrish are known for their harmony soaked songs and the mastery of their instruments’ acoustic tones. The group is also noted for their songwriting, which reflects both their Appalachian roots and urban Baltimore life. AACA is pleased to orchestrate the return of the KSO Merchant & Gould Concertmaster
Series on Thursday, January 30, 2020. Concertmaster William Schaub writes, “Last year it was such a joy and a thrill for the KSO’s Concertmaster Series to go on the road for the very first time and perform for an incredible audience in Athens! This year marks the 250th anniversary of Beethoven: A celebration of the birthday of perhaps the most magnificent and popular composer on a global level. Together with KSO Principal Cello Andy Bryenton and University of Tennessee professor of piano Kevin Class, we will embark on a journey through Beethoven’s epic ‘Ghost Trio’ in a concert that includes and other notable Classical selections.” The series ends March 13, 2020, with All the World’s a Song: Shakespeare in Jazz performed by The Daniel Kelly Quartet featuring Frederick Johnson. A prolific composer and tireless musical explorer, Kelly continually seeks out new avenues for his creativity. All the World’s a Song: Shakespeare in Jazz is Kelly’s interpretation of Shakespeare’s works into fresh and dynamic jazz songs. Throughout the concert, audience members will join Daniel’s jazz group, featuring an amazing jazz vocalist, as they sing along to catchy, original songs based on Midsummer Night’s Dream, Twelfth Night, Macbeth, Hamlet, and many more!

Beat the Heat of Indian Summer Fashion Sense with Transitional Cotton and Linen
V
ery rarely have I felt any one item that I’ve written about warrants an encore; however, this month will reinforce what you’ve read and seen before, and it remains the most popular item we’ve ever carried in the store! There are entire shops across the country, especially on the west coast and in resort areas, that are devoted to only cotton gauze and linen. Our plan is to feature these items within our store YEAR-ROUND in a special cruise area so those of you who are planning a trip will know where you can find your look any time of the year! Some of these pieces are one size fits most, so plus sizes are easily accommodated also. The fabrics are so lightweight they can be washed at night and will be dry by the next morning… no ironing required! Imagine how easily you can pack with these pieces! As so many of you have discovered this summer, natural fabrics are the very best to look good and feel good in as the thermometer soars… allowing your skin to breathe, unlike your synthetics such as spandex and Rayon. Our fabulous cotton gauze and washable linen lines have already begun to come in to the store in rich shades of moss green, khaki, plum, and washed grey… and with the changing colors are added styles of 3/4 sleeves with open arm details, long sleeves, and great new jackets. These lines are based in Florida and on the west coast, so keeping cool during soaring temperatures is nothing new to their designers. We are so pleased to be able to bring to our area the fashions that are so appropriate for the heat we’ve been experiencing, and as you know, our September and October can be extremely warm months. Don’t be afraid to combine these cotton and linen pieces with your denim or other favorite bottoms. There’s no need to have to do an entire “outfit,” just add the fashion forward tops for a pop of newness as you begin your transitional fall color pallet. If you haven’t yet discovered our linen and gauze lines, we invite you to come in, try on, and feel the difference on your skin. Never before have we had such a tremendous response to particular lines of clothing… come in and see the reason… we know you’ll become a fan also!
Let the Good Times Roll!

Community Church’s New Associate Pastor
14A • East Tennessee’s Mountain Views, September, 2019
R
ev. Jennifer Rutter was called to be an Associate Pastor at Community Church of Tellico Village in July. Where did you relocate from? I moved from Colorado, where I was serving as the Pastoral Resident at First Baptist Church in Colorado Springs, CO. I am a native Tennessean, but readjusting to humidity was still a shock! What’s your educational background? I earned my BS in Political Science from Belmont University and my Master of Divinity (MDiv) from Duke Divinity School. What drew you to Community Church? I love that this church is diverse in denominational backgrounds and focused on being the hands and feet of Jesus. There is real diversity in what people believe, but we agree on Christ. You can see this value in our mission work in the community. We
support so many local organizations such as Habitat for Humanity and the Child Advocacy Center. I’m also grateful our beautiful building is used every day for ministry. Churches have an obligation to use their resources well, and Community Church certainly does that! What is your role at Community Church? I serve as an Associate Pastor, which means I share preaching and pastoral care duties. I oversee missions at our congregation and our women’s ministry. What are your personal interests/hobbies? Obviously, cheering on Duke basketball! I’m an avid reader and enjoy listening to podcasts. I also deeply enjoy traveling. Can you recommend a book? Just one is way too difficult! How about a short list organized topically? Biography – Dapper Dan: Made in
Harlem: A Memoir by Daniel R. Day Christian – An Altar and the World by Barbara Brown Taylor Fiction – Lillian Boxfish Takes a Walk by Kathleen Rooney Leadership – Creativity, Inc by Ed Catmull What are you excited for in the future? I’m so excited about the ministry opportunities at Community Church. Our church has so many incredibly talented people from all different professions. Our church has been learning about our Spiritual Gifts and how we can best use what God has given to us to build the kingdom “on earth as it is on
heaven” (Matthew 6:10 NIV). The Bible verse I think of the most for our church right now is Isaiah 43:19 ESV: “Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.” It’s the hope of our staff that if you don’t have a church right now, you’ll consider partnering with ours as we discover what God has in store together. The congregation is holding an Installation Service for Rev. Jennifer Rutter on Sunday, September 15, at 6 pm. Everyone is welcome.

Nashville Singer-Songwriter Kyshona Opens AACA Black Box Concert Series September 6
T
his year marks the 40th year Athens Area Council for the Arts (AACA) has presented world-class touring performances in Athens, TN. AACA announces a diverse lineup of performers. Just like seasons over the last four decades, this series offers something for everyone in four professional concerts in the Sue E. Trotter Black Box Theater at The Arts Center in Athens. Kyshona, a Nashville singer-songwriter, opens the season on Friday, September 6, at 7:30 pm. Kyshona opened for an artist in the 2018-2019 performance season, and our audience wanted more. Kyshona, a music therapist gone rouge, returns to the Black Box backed by a band. Audiences find a common thread of overcoming, hope, and empowerment in her songwriting and storytelling. Her bluesy and soulful
I
music is unique, and her vocal stylings are reminiscent of Aretha Franklin, Etta James, and Al Green. Several sources list Kyshona on “watch lists,” like
CMT Edge (“Top 5 Roots Artists to Watch”) and NPR Music (“20 Indie Discoveries from 2017”). NPR Music said: “Kyshona Armstrong has been called upon to represent for soul and gospel in roots, rock, and folk lineups and to bring singer-songwriter sensibilities to R&B bills.

Michael W. Smith

t’s hard to believe, but Michael W. Smith has been providing the world his incredible music – both Christian and mainstream – spanning five decades. His mark on the soundtrack of humanity is as deep as his commitment to his faith and to his family. From his first hit, “Friends,” to his sell-out concerts and Christmas extravaganzas, Michael is still a favorite among Christian and mainstream fans alike. Michael will be performing in East Tennessee (Chattanooga, Knoxville, and Sevierville) next month. He chatted with me about his career, his take on the music industry, and what fans can expect from his area shows. “I think music, in general, ebbs and flows,” he said. “And while it’s always adapting and changing, there seems to be some ‘patterns,’ and sometimes different styles come back into vogue. When I started writing songs, we were really ‘storytelling.’ In more recent years – with worship music being dominant – the lyrics have become more vertical. I think there’s room for both.” When pressed for his thoughts as to the best and less-than-best changes within CCM, he said, “Well, the quality has to be there to be competitive. In the early days, I think quality of the recordings, of the mixes, etc. might have taken a backseat to content. But for a record to be truly great, I think the quality of the recording has to match the quality of the content.” Approaching the subject from a slightly different angle, I asked Michael what he would do to “fix” the Christian music business if he was made its “czar.” “At the risk of taking a little heat – I’d say – I’d push for radio to have more of an open mind. Quit relying on ‘testing’ and go back to the days when a PD would take a chance on a song he or she believed in. So much of radio has become formula and, I believe, it’s lost its uniqueness and, in some senses, its soul.” As I talk to fans around the world about various artists, it is striking how different people view different artists in different ways. In the case of Michael W. Smith, most people see him as an artist who writes, records, and performs Christian

music. Still others see him as one who writes musical scores for movies. I asked him how he would describe his work. “I’m not resting,” he said. “I’m not looking back. Even this far into my career, I think the best days, the best music, can still be ahead of me. I want to make better music than I ever have before. That’s what drives me.” As mentioned at the beginning of this article, Michael is making several appearances in East and Middle Tennessee. Naturally, fans would want to know what they can expect from the different shows,
so I asked him. “The Nashville show is with the Nashville Symphony Orchestra, and it’s a Christmas Concert,” he said. “Marc Martel will be with me. He’s amazing, as is the Nashville Symphony, so I know
that’s going to be a great show! The show in Sevierville is actually a Women’s Conference. That’s actually a really fun audience to play for.” As a successful singer, songwriter, recording artist, and movie score writer, I was curious if there was anything Michael hasn’t yet done, musically, that he still wants to do. “I had the good fortune to score some movies, and I really loved the opportunity to score for a major release,” said Michael. “My son is a brilliant composer, so to score a film with him would be great. I’ve also been writing an original symphony piece that I hope to, someday, debut with the Nashville Symphony and then take it on the road!” When asked what is on his musical radar in the next couple of years, his answer was transparent: “I’ve never been very strategic about writing. Someday – usually when I’m not expecting it – I’ll get on a creative streak and start writing music. It’s almost like I can’t control it – it just comes. And it might be pop, it might be worship, it might be a symphony piece. Sometimes it’s all of the above! But eventually some line or some melody grabs my attention more than the others, and that’s the direction I go. It’s always been that way for me.” I asked Michael how he hoped to be remembered and what he hoped his legacy will be. “I’ve been asked this a few times, and my answer is always the same: I want to be remembered as a guy that loved God, loved his wife and family, and wrote some songs.” Michael W. Smith will be performing at the Bijou Theatre on October 6. Tickets to see him in concert are still available as of this writing and can be purchased by visiting www.MichaelWSmith.com.
Randy’s first interview was at the tender age of 13 with none other than Col. Tom Parker. Thirty-six years later he founded the webzine, Boomerocity.com, and has conducted close to 200 interviews with some of the most interesting people in music.

Need a Custom Closet? 4 Questions to Ask Yourself
MARBLE CITY OPERA PRESENTS
A
re you always sorting through the never-ending amount of garments you have hanging in your closet just to put together the single outfit you had in mind? Can’t find the pants to match the shirt? Or the shoes to match the pants? While life can be messy and disorganized, a closet should not. Closets should make life easier. A custom closet that’s designed and organized based on your needs provides more organization and maximizes storage space, which means less frustration. Tailored Living of Knoxville professionals will meet with you in your home, listen to your specific needs, and work with you to design a space that fits your lifestyle. Here are some preliminary questions to ask yourself before calling for your free in-home consultation: What is my budget? While the cost depends on the size of your closet and organizational needs, a basic system with hanging and shelving is very affordable. Adding drawers and cabinets with doors will increase the cost. Additionally, the finish color you choose impacts the cost. White will always be less expensive than wood grains and darker finishes. What types of clothing am I storing? Some people only want to hang shirts, blouses, and pants in their closet and leave other items such as undergarments stored in a bedroom dresser. If there is space available, most people now prefer to add drawers in the closet so everything is in one place and it eliminates the need for a bulky dresser in the bedroom. Think about what types of clothing and accessories you want to store inside your closet and it will help you put together a picture of your organizational needs.
Which accessories do I need? Convenient accessories like jewelry drawers, fold-out ironing boards, tilt-out hampers, and pull-out belt racks are among the many options that bring more order to the closet and help you easily find everyday items. What look do I want to create? A closet that fits with your home’s interior helps you be organized without diminishing your home’s style. From a contemporary white to a rich, warm wood grain finish, you can find an attractive finish to perfectly complement your home’s décor. Adding extra design touches like an island, full-length mirror, and vanity will enhance the look of your closet even more. These are just a few ideas to consider when thinking about a custom closet. Once you have considered your budget and what you need to store, Tailored Living of Knoxville will design a custom closet system with features built around you and your lifestyle.

Your Vital Link to Health and Well-being
L
ocal pharmacist and entrepreneur, Ellen Phillips, recently realized her decades-long dream of launching a totally new concept in pharmaceutical care, believeRX. Located at 9627 Countryside Center Lane near the intersection of Middlebrook Pike and Bob Kirby Road in Knoxville, Ellen and her compassionate and caring team of highly trained pharmaceutical associates have embarked on a mission to help you to forget everything you thought you knew, and despised, about big box store pharmacies. Like much of today’s healthcare marketplace, pharmacies have also evolved into cold and impersonal assembly-line type experiences where customers are treated with indifference and a rare smile. believeRX recognizes that your local pharmacy can and should play an important role in your family’s total healthcare and wellness alongside all of your other healthcare providers. Reminiscent of the local corner pharmacy you may remember as a child, believeRX combines the personal and caring touch of the almost non-existent neighborhood pharmacy with today’s rapidly evolving healthcare industry. With more than 20 years of first-hand experience as a pharmacist to draw upon, Ellen and her team have created a holistic and interactive approach to your pharmaceutical experience designed to help you “Live Your Best Life.” In this issue of Mountain Views, Ellen shares the positive health and well-being benefits that believeRX offers to each of their patients. MV: Tell our readers about yourself. Ellen: I have both retail and some clinical hospital pharmacy experience and have been a retail pharmacy manager for most of my career. I have been a pharmacy preceptor for several pharmacy schools and won the Pharmacists Excellence Award in 2016. I am also a Certified Health Coach with BrainMD and ACE Fitness. MV: Why do you feel that most pharmacies today offer such a highly impersonal patient experience? Ellen: I believe in large part it’s because large pharmaceutical providers view the people entering their stores as numbers and not individuals with needs. There is little or no incentive offered by employers to their associates to provide customers with a higher level of customer service. Another important component is one of staff selection. Are you simply filling a slot or are you adding a valued member to your already winning team? At believeRX, we search for highly skilled team members with a passion to serve our patients rather than someone just looking for a position. It really comes down to “passion” versus a “paycheck.” MV: When employed by a large retail chain, did you ever experience “what if” moments as a pharmacist where there were lost opportunities to better serve your customers? Ellen: Unfortunately, there were. As an employee, you were required to follow the rules. You follow an established routine that doesn’t encourage creativity
Ellen Phillips, Owner & Creator of believeRX
or thinking outside the box. I’m nonetheless grateful for these real experiences, as I began to imagine how the services we provided could be improved upon to better serve the needs of our customers. One “what if” moment for me that I will never forget included a terminally ill patient who was experiencing difficulty getting his required medications from his doctor’s office. I told him that he was the most important thing to me. I helped him get the needed medications. Once placed in a hospice, when he could no longer visit our Knoxville location, his mother began to pick up his medication for him. After he passed, she came to me and said, “You know why we came here, don’t you? We live in Crossville, and my son refused to allow the hospice to send his prescription anywhere else.” That was a defining moment for me in my career and the foundation upon which we want to build believeRX. I’m truly grateful for our team, as well as the patients, most of whom I have been privileged to work with during the last 20 years. We have patients who have been with me since the beginning of my career, and they place their trust in our team to this day! MV: Describe the believeRX business model and tell our readers about the services you offer. Ellen: believeRX is a threein-one business model. We are a retail pharmacy that offers home delivery after hours for our established patients, a specialty pharmacy that offers delivery and counseling in the home by a licensed pharmacist, and we offer the best pro-active health products over the counter. In fact, we are exactly the opposite of the typical pharmacy you are used to. All of our staff members receive additional training to become Certified Health Coaches, because we believe it’s time to focus on becoming the best version of ourselves that we can be. Our services include: » A full-service pharmacy that accepts all prescription insurance plans: If you discover that your medications are too expensive, we’ll work with you to find a lower cost alternative that puts your health first. » After-hours delivery service: If it’s after hours and you need an urgent medication, we have you covered with our after-hours delivery service. Established patients can use our after-hours drop box for their prescription. Call the after-hours phone number and go home and relax while we take care of the rest. Once your prescription is ready, we’ll personally deliver it directly to
your home. » Specialty medications that are high-cost oral or injectable medications used to treat complex chronic conditions: Our goals are to find a way to get the medication covered, to meet the patient where they are and counsel them to get the best results by helping them treat or avoid side effects and by personally delivering to their homes. » Vaccinations (including travel vaccines): We will also notify you when you are due for vaccinations in order to avoid immunization gaps. » A series of medical screenings such as Hemoglobin A1c, Total cholesterol screenings, blood pressure, and blood glucose readings. » We also offer genetic testing, which makes your medication selection more personal. There are two tests: PGx and CGx. These tests can help a patient avoid trial and error and also avoid major side effects. There is a test for regular medications and one for cancer patients to help select the correct therapy based on their genetics. » We carry a large selection of CBD products in different for-
mulations such as gummies, popcorn, creams, tinctures, flavored and unflavored, and much more! » A large selection of Pro-Active Supplements: Not all vitamins are created equal, so innovation and experience matters. We will offer only the latest supplements with multiple health benefits, taking advantage of the newest technologies to deliver cutting-edge formulas. » We offer three free 8-minute Bemer sessions. Bemer is a completely painless way to improve microcirculatory blood flow by up to 30%. With Bemer, you can improve blood circulation and increase your endurance. » You also have the option to try red and infrared light therapy. Red light therapy uses low-level wavelengths to treat skin issues such as wrinkles, scars, and persistent wounds.

MCFA Pets of the Week
2B • East Tennessee’s Mountain Views, September, 2019
H
enry volunteered to be our Dog of the Week. Henry was found wandering in the Kahite neighborhood of Tellico Village in mid-July. He is mildly famous in the Kahite area, as he made friends with many residents before he was brought to the shelter. He is a mild-mannered, Henry five-year-old mixed Labrador with floppy ears who weighs about 49 pounds. He is primarily black with a tan belly and legs. Henry is a friendly guy, walks politely on a leash, and shows no aggression toward other animals. He is sociable and outgoing with a tail that does not stop wagging. He loves to be taken out of the kennel and looks adoringly at anyone who will scratch his head and ears. He is looking for a family he can be part of and would make a wonderful walking companion for an active home. We’ve had some wonderful adoptions of adult cats recently. These three cats are a bit new, and we are still learning about them. Duke is a handsome two-year-old Tuxedo all dressed up and no place to go. He’s a very personable guy who loves to be held and adored. He’s very friendly and affectionate. Wilson is a DSH Orange Vol just under one year old. He was raised as an indoor/outdoor cat, and it appears he likes that. His new home should not be in a high traffic area – maybe a farm as an indoor/outdoor pet. Chatty Catty is a five-and-a-half-year-old Brown Tabby with a ton of purrsonality. She a bit on the quiet side but will be a great companion cat for you. She is known for grabbing ankles as you walk by her and trying to escape her condo. Quite the character cat! Lost pets: Please report a lost pet to the shelter as soon as you can and post a picture AND location to the Facebook page. Also, post lost or found pets to www.
Duke
pawboost.com, as it has wide coverage, including many vet offices, and it’s free to post. Found pets: Please bring to the shelter as soon as possible to be logged in as found and to be scanned for a microchip. The pet’s picture can be taken and posted to the Facebook page. Found pets can also be scanned at no charge at local vet offices. Many people do not have or use the Internet, but they WILL report their lost pet or a found pet to the shelter. That’s why it is best to start there! Remember, microchips are only $10 at the shelter; they are well worth it, but it’s up to YOU to keep the contact information current. We have barn/farm/warehouse/outdoor cats that need homes. Some are very friendly, and some just want to be left alone to work their job of non-chemical rodent control. They are altered and vaccinated. If you need some working cats, please contact us and let us know the type of cat and how many you want. We need foster homes for cats and kittens! It takes ALL of us to save and rescue them. Many kittens just need socialization. Nothing is more fun than playing and holding kittens! Once they return to the shelter, they are more easily adopted… because YOU made the difference! All animals adopted are spayed or neutered, wormed, have age appropriate vaccinations and testing, and are microchipped with registration. Cats are litter box trained.

hen it comes to keeping your closet manageable, one of the most versatile fashion accessories is the humble scarf. What other adornment takes up so little space and can do so much? The hardworking neckwear can add drama to whatever you’re wearing... from a simple t-shirt and jeans for a girls’ weekend to a tailored suit for that dream job interview. Shopping Scarves can be found at every price point in endless colors, sizes, and fabrics. Designer scarves provide quality and good workmanship, although at a heftier price. View them as timeless investment pieces that will be by your side no matter what your stage in life! Online retailers such as eBay, Etsy, and RubyLane offer beautiful vintage scarves at reduced prices, as do local thrift stores. And unconventional resources such as museum gift shops offer scarves that can serve as a fashionable souvenirs. Choosing No matter your body type, coloring, or personality, there is a scarf for you. Seek out colors that highlight your face (when in doubt, match the color of your eyes), and gravitate toward fabrics that make you happy and feel good against your skin. Look for quality-made scarves with inconspicuous hems. (Hand-rolled are best.) Overwhelmed by myriad scarf shapes? Hit the stores and try different sizes, making sure the scarf volume complements your body type and doesn’t over or underwhelm. When you find the right silhouette, make a mental note for future purchases, and don’t be afraid to stick with what works! Wearing

Scarves don’t have to perfectly match your outfit’s colors. In fact, it’s more interesting when they contrast! Not only can a scarf be matched to an outfit – an outfit can be built around a scarf. Form as well as function can be considered: Will the scarf be worn for looks only, for warmth, or both? For example, consider a scarf when traveling for a chic way to perk up a casual outfit, as well as a practical solution for a drafty airplane ride. And speaking of flying, check out YouTube and Pinterest for adorable scarf tying ideas that won’t make you feel like a stewardess. If you long for a new fall addition to your wardrobe but your drawers are bursting and you can’t fit another thing into your closet, seek out a timeless (and relatively tiny) addition – the trusty scarf!

8 Ways to Update Your Bathroom R *Applies to purchases of 5 or more Classic or Designer Glide-Out™ shelves. Expires 9/30/2019. Lic#10800030
eviving a tired bathroom doesn’t necessarily require an entire remodel. It is possible to add style and character by making a few inexpensive updates. Not only will the updates transform your space, they can add value to your home. 1. Change the color. Just like decor, paint colors go out of style. Brighten your space with a fresh coat of paint in a trendy neutral color or a bold, daring color. 2. Replace the fixtures. Updating the smaller details such as light fixtures, sink faucets, towel racks, and drawer pulls can have a big impact. Look for inspiration online or in magazines. 3. Update the mirror. If you are not pleased with the size or appearance of your mirror, remove it before you paint and replace it with something more functional and aesthetically pleasing. You can also frame builder-style mirrors for a more custom look.
4. Paint the cabinets. If your bathroom cabinets are dark and dingy, consider adding a fresh coat of white paint to update them. White cabinets will immediately brighten up the whole space and make the room look larger. 5. Add pull-out shelving. Organize and maximize the space under your sink with ShelfGenie® pull-out shelving. ShelfGenie® storage solutions provide a neat, accessible place for every item in your bathroom. From toiletries to cleaning supplies, you can keep everything tucked away and off the counters. 6. Freshen caulk and grout. Grimy caulk and grout can make any bathroom look unsightly. Purchase a good grout cleaner or replace the grout if necessary. Add a clean line of caulk around the tub and sink to freshen things up. 7. Buy new towels and a bath mat. Invest in a few sets of quality towels that you can periodically change out
to give your bathroom a spa-like look and feel. 8. Update the glass around the shower. Consider replacing an old or dated shower door with a frameless door for a clean and minimalistic design. If you have a shower curtain and tub, replace the curtain and liner to complement the towels and bath mat. When updating your bathroom, keep in mind that you don’t have to buy brand new to improve the look. You may be able to repurpose some items in your home to achieve your desired results. Don’t forget to redesign with the environment in mind when possible. Low-flow sinks, shower heads, and toilets will help conserve water and save you money.

re you paying for a life insurance policy you don’t need anymore? Or perhaps you have money in a variable annuity, but you aren’t sure what to do with it? Well, good news on both fronts! You can use a friendly little IRS rule, called a 1035 exchange, that allows you to trade a current life insurance or annuity policy for something new and not pay any tax on it. My favorite strategy is to exchange them for an asset-based long-term care policy. This is not your typical traditional LTC policy, with all of its inherent drawbacks. This is a policy you fund once, with the 1035 exchange, and there are no further premium payments. It provides you with an enhanced pool of tax-free LTC dollars that you can use for home health care, assisted living, or full skilled care. If you don’t ever need it for LTC costs, it has a death benefit that passes to your heirs. It solves the “use it or lose it” premium payment of traditional LTC insurance. This exchange process has lots of tax advantages. Normally the cash value of a life insurance policy and the accumulation value of an annuity has interest that is taxable if you take it out. But when you exchange it for an asset-based LTC policy, the LTC benefits are tax-free and the death benefit is tax-free. Voila! No more taxable interest! Note this strategy does not apply to term insurance, which has no cash value. You can also purchase this type of policy with non-retirement money or even over a period of time. Beyond the tax benefits, an asset-based LTC policy truly solves retirees’ most vexing dilemma: How to provide themselves protection from the financial catastrophe of health care costs. A 2018 Genworth study found, in Knox County, the average monthly

cost of home health care is $3,575, assisted living is $4,000, and full skilled care is $7,000. You can’t just wish for good health – if you don’t have adequate protection, these costs will drain your accounts, or fall to your adult children to pay, or you’ll end up on Medicaid letting the government decide for you. Call or email to learn more. We’ll be happy to provide you with the information you need to make an informed decision. Peace of mind is priceless.

Smithsonian Traveling Exhibit Coming to Morristown

T
he Smithsonian’s Museum on Main Street, in cooperation with Humanities Tennessee, presents “Crossroads: Change in Rural America.” The exhibition examining the evolving landscape and culture of rural America opens at Rose Center on Saturday, November 2. “Crossroads” will be on view through December 7. Rose Center and the surrounding community has been expressly chosen by Humanities Tennessee to host “Crossroads” as part of the Museum on Main Street program – a national/state/local partnership to bring exhibitions and programs to rural cultural organizations. The exhibition will tour only six communities in Tennessee from September 7 through June 21, 2020. “Crossroads” explores how rural American communities changed in the 20th century. From sea to shining sea, the vast majority of the United States landscape
remains rural, with only 3.5% of the landmass considered urban. Since 1900, the percentage of Americans living in rural areas dropped from 605 to 17%. The exhibition looks at that remarkable societal change and how rural Americans responded. Americans have relied on rural crossroads for generations. These places where people gather to exchange goods, services and culture and to engage in political and community discussions are an important part of our cultural fabric. Despite the massive economic and demographic impacts brought on by these changes, America’s small towns continue to creatively focus on new opportunities for growth and development. “‘Crossroads’ allows us to reflect on Morristown’s history, present, and future, and we are excited to explore what the future may hold for our community,” said Beccy Hamm, Rose Center’s Executive Director. “We want to convene conversa-

tions about what makes our community unique and are developing local exhibitions and public programs to complement the Smithsonian exhibition.” Designed for small-town museums, libraries, and cultural organizations, “Crossroads” will serve as a community meeting place for conversations about how rural America has changed. With the support and guidance of state humanities councils, these towns will develop complementary exhibits, host public programs, and facilitate educational initiatives to raise people’s understanding about their own history, the joys, and challenges of living rural, how change has impacted their community, and prompt discussion of goals for the future. The exhibition is part of Museum on Main Street, a unique collaboration between the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service (SITES), state humanities councils across the nation,
and local host institutions. The learn more about “Crossroads” and other Museum on Main Street exhibitions, visit www.museumonmainstreet.org. Support for MoMS has been provided by the U. S. Congress.

SITES connects Americans to their shared cultural heritage through a wide range of exhibitions about art, science, and history, which are shown wherever people live, work, and play. For exhibition description and tour schedules, visit www.sites.si.edu. The Rose Center is located at 442 W. 2nd North Street in Morristown, TN.

Update Your Home Without Busting Your Budget
A
mericans are discovering many innovative ways to update their homes without the added cost, inconvenience, or mess of a major renovation. By updating lighting, cabinet drawer pulls and door handles, new win-
dow treatments, and a thorough cleaning and painting, you can create that showcase look you’ve been dreaming of – without the cost. Another way to achieve that updated look is to add a new accent chair, sofa or
loveseat, dining table, art, décor, or perhaps an Oriental rug. Thanks to Premiere Consignment in nearby and convenient Tellico Village, you’ll discover many of the items that you’ve been looking for at incredible savings. One of the most important features of being located within the heart of the Tellico Lake area is the opportunity to secure furniture, art, home décor items, and Oriental rugs from many of the area’s most luxurious homes. Also, because most of their consignors have relocated to communities such as Tellico Village and Rarity Bay from all across the country, they are able to offer you a large selection of items purchased by these same homeowners from all across the nation. Perhaps that’s why they are frequented by many of the area’s top interior designers and decorators. Currently they have an excellent collection of dining room furniture, sofas, loveseats, and recliners. You’ll also discover Oriental rugs, lighting, home décor,

Shift Your Garage into High Gear
It Starts with the Floor
G
one are the days when you had to settle for a drab, stained, cement-gray garage floor. Today your garage floor can be as beautiful as any other room in your home. For a striking and durable garage floor coating that is easy to maintain, Knoxville’s PremierGarage can transform an oil-stained, pitted, and peeling epoxy-coated garage floor into a showroom quality look. PremierGarage, serving East Tennessee for more than 10 years, combines its proprietary hybrid polymer flooring system technology with their extensive industry knowledge and experience to provide a high-quality finish that is chemical, stain, and slip resistant. It is the toughest floor coating available and: » Stands up to the heat and friction of hot tires. » Protects the concrete from the harsh chemicals and liquids that leak from your automobile. The flooring also protects the concrete from the water, salt, and snow your car brings into the garage, which promote deterioration and cracking. » Resists chipping, peeling, fading, or stains. » Resists spills, including water, gasoline, oil, other auto fluids, and paint thinner. » Reduces the buildup of allergens, dust, and dirt that cling to unfinished concrete. » Cleans up easily; nothing sticks to the surface, so spills are no problem. For general cleanup, you only need a mop and water. » Comes with a 10-year warranty. » Increases the value of your home. The two-day process starts with technicians who diamond grind the floor to the ideal surface condition to achieve a permanent chemical bond that substantially outlives traditional epoxies. The polyurea topcoat, which cures two times harder than epoxy, provides a continuous, non-porous coating surface that naturally resists various liquids that may leak from your automobile’s engine. It’s like armor for your concrete floor. Your garage will look more “finished,” and cleanup requires only a hose or mop. Available in hundreds of various chip and color combinations, you can customize your garage flooring to fit your home and style. PremierGarage’s flooring solutions are also suitable for commercial and light industrial applications. Call PremierGarage and discover the affordability of transforming your garage floor. Home really does begin in the garage! PremierGarage powered by Tailored Living 865-947-8686 www.TailoredLivingKnoxville.com

September in the Garden Lisa Grugin
don’t know about the rest of you, but I am glad to turn the page to September! August was a pretty miserable month. The rain seemed to skip us almost every time, but the humidity sure didn’t. It was a free sauna when you walked out the door in the morning! The only thing that kept me from whining was talking to my daughter in Oklahoma, where it was 107 with a heat index of 122. September is usually the beginning of nice weather, but be prepared for the temperatures to stay elevated. Hopefully we will get the blessing of cooler nights and mornings so we can go out and work in the yard! » Let me begin this month by talking about what I am seeing in landscapes as I go for morning runs and dog walks. Some trees are starting to turn early and may even be losing their leaves. This is usually due to stress. The primary cause of stress is inadequate moisture due to either insufficient water or undeveloped roots. Those ample rains early in the year made the plants lazy. The roots didn’t have to work very hard, so they didn’t dig down deep into the soil. When the rain stopped and the sun came blazing out, they weren’t capable of taking up the water that they need. Their solution is to just go dormant. Many are also stressed due to the overwhelming amount of fungal problems and insects that we have experienced this year. Powdery mildew was especially bad on dogwoods and crepe myrtles. When people are dealing with stressed plants, they tend
to either go out and fertilize the daylights out of them or cut them way back. This is not the time to do either! A gentle, organic fertilize is fine, but a strong chemical fertilizer is about the equivalent of handing someone a Redbull as they cross the finish line of a marathon. It might help, or it might kill them! It is best to just make sure they have plenty of water and hold off on doing anything

dramatic. Now is not the time for hard pruning either! You can do minor trimming or remove dead/damaged/ diseased branches but nothing more. Wait until plants go dormant to do the big things. Give us a call if you have questions. » There is also a problem with plants that were not properly planted. I have had a few instances where a tree or shrub was returned because it died, and the root ball looked as if it had just come out of the pot. You must loosen those up folks! Dig your fingers or a cultivator in there and spread those roots out. If it is terribly pot bound, you may want to take a saw and cut the outer 1/4” or so of the rootball off. Work good soil into your clay in a 50/50 mix and use that to backfill. Never plant deeper than the rootball, and leave a bit of a soil dam around the plant to hold water until it gets established. Again, please let us know if you have questions. » September is a perfect time to put together a plan for your yard. It is cool enough to walk around and check on everything and make a to-do list for this year and next spring. Identify what you like and don’t like, and get ready to start making those changes! » Fall is usually good for planting larger trees and shrubs, but September and October can be dry. That means that you will have to make sure that any plants put into the ground during that time receive sufficient water. Sprinklers are just not adequate for anything larger than a one gallon plant. Hand watering or drip irrigation is a must. » The most important thing that you can do this fall is to give your yard a good clean-up. Any leaves that have fungal spots or insects need to be cleaned up after they fall so the spores and eggs don’t deposit into the soil and re-emerge next year. Pull out ugly annuals and replace them with pansies. Cut back perennials and divide spring and summer bloomers that have outgrown their location. » What is your mulch situation? If you have a nice 2-3” layer, go out with a rake and “fluff” it. If you can see dirt, you should mulch. Mulch keeps temperature and moisture levels stable during the winter and protects your plants. Please use hardwood mulch or pine needles because they biodegrade over time, add nutrients to the soil, and are better for our planet. I will end by urging you to remember our feathered friends. Fall migration is coming, and it is important to keep your feeders and birdbaths clean and full. Stop by and see us this fall. Our scarecrows and other decorations have arrived, and it won’t be long before mums, pumpkins, and pansies are here. We have been helping our customers have beautiful yards for 23 years.

UT Gardens’ Plant of the Month: Butterfly Bush
G

ood Golly Miss Molly! Buddleja x ‘Miss Molly’ is definitely a show stopper. It is hard to compete with the vivid color and abundance of this butterfly bush. This long-blooming beauty lasts from summer to frost! The fragrant blooms are great for cutting. Deadheading is not required but makes for a tidier plant. They also attract pollinators and are a favorite of hummingbirds and, of course, butterflies. The blooms are not the only attribute of the Miss Molly butterfly bush. The plant has a compact branching form and an average growth of between four to five feet. Miss Molly loves the sun and heat, is non-invasive, and deer resistant. The silvery-green leaves are another attraction, contrasting nicely with chartreuse or gold. In addition to the ‘Miss’ series, other butterfly bushes have done well in the University of Tennessee Gardens. The ‘Pugster’ series has become very popular due to its compact size and full-sized flowers. Many are on display in all three UT Gardens’ locations: Knoxville, Crossville, and Jackson. My favorite is the ‘Pugster Blue’ with its true-blue blooms. If your garden space is limited or if you are looking for a miniature version, check out the ‘Lo & Behold’ series. Two of the smallest selections are planted in our Butterfly Garden in Crossville. ‘Blue Chip Jr.’ and ‘Pink Micro Chip’ both average only one to two feet in size. Although easy to grow, butterfly bushes can be sensitive to root rot. Many are lost due to wet soil and temperature fluctuations between fall and spring. So plant butterfly bushes in such a way as to encourage water to drain away from the plant, not settle around it. This is particularly true when dealing with clay soil. You should also avoid mulching directly around your butterfly bush, as the mulch can hold too much moisture. If pruning is desired, wait until after new growth emerges in the spring. This insures greater protection through the winter, especially in colder climates. This may require a bit of patience. Butterfly bushes tend to be one of the last to leaf out in the spring. Some say to wait well into June before determining whether they survived winter or a wet spring. One last tip for establishing one of these beauties: Avoid fall planting. Unlike most shrubs, butterfly bushes prefer ample time to develop a good root system be-
fore enduring the cold, wet season. Plant them in spring through summer. Come and visit the UT Gardens, Crossville, located at the Plateau AgResearch and Education Center. Miss Molly will greet you at the garden entrance. The UT Gardens include plant collections located in Knoxville, Jackson, and Crossville. Designated as the of-
ficial botanical garden for the State of Tennessee, the collections are part of the University of Tennessee Institute of Agriculture. The Gardens’ mission is to foster appreciation, education, and stewardship of plants through garden displays, educational programs, and research trials. The Gardens are open during all seasons and free to the public. For more information, visit www.ag.tennessee.edu/utg.

Keep Knoxville Beautiful to Host Second Annual North Knoxville Community Cleanup
K
eep Knoxville Beautiful (KKB) will be hosting the second annual North Knoxville Community Cleanup on Saturday, September 7, from 9 am to 12 pm. The event will kick off at Edgwood Park (3109 Ocoee Trail). The North Knoxville Community Cleanup was first held in 2018 while North Knoxville was KKB’s “Community of the Year.” The cleanup will be KKB’s largest event in North Knoxville this year. The first cleanup had more than 230 volunteers participate. KKB is now seeking groups and individuals to participate in the 2019 cleanup. Volunteers can register at www.keepknoxvillebeautiful. org/upcoming/2019/9/7/2019-north-knoxville-community-cleanup. Leaders from various North Knoxville neighborhoods and local community organizations will collect cleanup supplies at Edgewood Park then return to volunteers waiting at their designated locations to pick up litter. Participating neighborhood associations include Fountaincrest and Oakwood Lincoln Park. Other clubs and groups that are participating are UTK’s American Society of Civil Engineers Student Chapter, Veterans Heritage Site Foundation, Tennessee Track and Field, and the Knox County Youth Health Board. Individuals who do not have an official group can pick up litter in the areas surrounding Edgewood Park or let us
know if they want to clean in their North Knoxville neighborhood. Kids will be invited to participate in the SmokeFree Knoxville “Cigarette Butt Challenge.” All kids that participate in the challenge will receive a prize courtesy of the Knox County Health Department. Keep Knoxville Beautiful would like to thank our generous sponsors of the North Knoxville Community Cleanup: Bluhen Botanicals, Three Rivers Market, First Neighborhoods Realty, Mid Mod Collective, Open Door Architecture, TVA, WATE, and Nobody Trashes Tennessee. About Keep Knoxville Beautiful Founded in 1978 to help “clean up” prior to the 1982 World’s Fair, Keep Knoxville Beautiful is a local non-profit with a mission to promote a cleaner, greener, and more beautiful community. We pursue this by: » Educating students and the public about waste-prevention, litter, recycling, and environmental stewardship. » Facilitating and supporting litter pickups that make our roads and local waterways cleaner. » Creating and protecting murals and hosting beautification mobs to make Knoxville a more beautiful and interesting place to live and visit.

A Recurring Smile and Emotional Boost
O
ne of the most important aspects of volunteering at Random Acts of Flowers is that the volunteers get to spend their time doing something that can give a complete stranger a smile and an emotional boost. This not only occurs when the volunteer delivers the Random Acts of Flowers’ created bouquet to an individual in a healthcare facility, but, in addition, during the next several days, every time the recipient looks at the flowers, they happily recall the personal moment of kindness that the flowers represent and have another emotional boost knowing someone cares for them. This recalled and recurring happiness not only positively impacts the recipient, but their family and friends, too! One of our recipient’s family members said: “My sister-in-law shared something that I didn’t know, which was that her mom received flowers from Random Acts of Flowers in Knoxville a few years back. She went on to say that she’ll forever be grateful for those flowers, because they provide her with actual photographs and mental memories of her mom’s hospital stay, which at times was difficult and demanding, but also one filled with smiles knowing that others were thinking of them. What a wonderful testament to what you do. You should feel great about how your job helps make the lives of others better.” It is these moments of kindness, encouragement, and emotional support that propels and sustains our volunteers to work so hard and so happily – collecting and preparing donated flowers, creating the individual bouquets, and delivering the re-purposed, upcycled bouquets to individuals in healthcare facilities. It is a process that makes all of those involved in the process smile – whether they are preparing the flowers, creating an arrangement, or delivering a bouquet. And, on the receiving end, the smiles and emotional boost are not only for the recipient, but for their family and friends as well. If you want to make an impact with Random Acts of Flowers by volunteering or making a donation, call us at 865-633-9082, email us at info@RAFKnoxville.org, or visit www.RAFKnoxville.org and fill out the Individual Volunteer form.
