AFRUSTRATED homeowner says they tried “everything” to clean their shower doors before putting their home on the market. The glass was covered with white spots, and since the couple has a water filtration system and never used bar soap, they were at a loss as to what was causing the spots. After hours of elbow grease and money spent on useless products, the spots remained.

Another client wasn’t sure what to do about her tile and grout in her bathroom. The grout along the tub and toilet were discolored and dirty looking. She had used vinegar and several over-the-counter cleaners, but the embedded stains wouldn’t budge. She was embarrassed and tried her best to hide the stains under stylish bathroom rugs.

Recently we met a pool owner who had resorted to placing rubber mats around the pool deck to minimize slipping due to the slimy residue from algae growth. Even bleach hadn’t been enough to get to the root of the problem, and within a few days, the deck was as slippery as ever.

Most every homeowner can relate to having at least one problem area that refuses to succumb to cleaning efforts. Here’s why: Did you know that most surfaces are actually porous with millions of tiny holes that accumulate dirt and grime? As they are cleaned, only the top surface layer is exposed, and the very practice of mopping or using a squeegee pushes the dirt deeper inside. So the more you clean it, the dirtier your floor (or concrete) looks. How’s that for frustrating?

So what does it take to get them clean? Cleaning ANY porous surface requires four components: Heat, pressure, suction, and quality cleaning solution. That’s where we can help. Surface Doc uses a combination of extreme 200º heat to open the pores of your floor. We use effective cleaning agents, then add 2,000 psi and powerful extraction to blast out and suck up all foreign matter. Our process is extremely effective. Once your floor is clean, we can apply an impregnating sealer to protect it from future stains.

Surface Doc cleans and seals everything from tile and grout, stone, concrete, shower doors, granite, slate, and marble. Give John a call today to schedule a no-hassle demonstration cleaning. To view before and after photos, visit SurfaceDoc.com.

New Exhibitions Opening Emporium Center August 5

THE ARTS & Culture Alliance is pleased to present five new exhibitions at The Emporium Center in downtown Knoxville from August 5-27. Most of the works will be for sale and may be purchased through the close of the exhibition by visiting in person or by visiting the online shop at KnoxAlliance.store. Tennessee Artists Association: 50 Years of Artistic Excellence: From the Past into the Future in the Lower Gallery

This new exhibition celebrates Tennessee Artist’s Association 50th anniversary as the area’s oldest member-supported arts organization. TAA began with five members who met for coffee. Highlights of the first year included an art workshop and a Spring Show. By 1978, it had more than 230 members from 34 cities in Tennessee. Shows expanded in the 1980s to include Pigeon Forge, Chattanooga, Kingsport, Nashville, and Children’s Hospital Fantasy of Trees. The 1990s saw TAA’s continued interest in social causes with shows supporting Children’s Hospital, the Scholastic Arts program for 7-12 grade students in 14 counties, and the sponsorship of a Boy Scout Explorer Post in the Arts.

Monthly meetings - free and open to anyone - at Westminster Presbyterian Church in Knoxville include practical art demonstrations, discussions, and opportunities for individual artists to get involved in learning, community and shows. Guests are welcome to the TAA gallery and artist studio at the Emporium, Suite 106. New Work by Terra Madre: Women in Clay in the Upper Gallery Terra Madre is a juried group of women clay artists founded in the year 2000 by female ceramic artists in East Tennessee. Their mission is to support each other in their clay work, advance the Tina Curry appreciation of ceramics in East Tennessee, and encourage each other in the pursuit of their dreams as artists and as women. Terra Madre members are affiliated with many juried and professional arts organizations. Collectively, the group exhibits in several shows annually; individually, their work has been exhibited all across the country and can be found in galleries, shops, juried fine craft shows and fairs, and in many private art collections.

He has 34 years of professional experience with primitivism, genre painting, and figurative art with exhibits in Europe, Asia, Canada, and Latin America. Estefano Martínez and his sister, Valeria, are emerging artists in their last year of high school. Both have exhibited work in Honduras, where they have participated in muralistic Sergio Martínez Ávila activities since 2019. Born in Mexico City in 1966, Héctor Saldivar began developing his artist talents later in life. He has participated in Casa HoLa events (part of HoLa Hora Latina) in Knoxville and the Tennessee Arts Commission in Nashville. He is an alebrijes artist working mainly with papier-mâché and clay but also paints with acrylics and oils. Alebrijes are brightly colored Mexican folk art sculptures of fantastical (fantasy/mythical) creatures. His art honors his Mexican roots. Foothills Craft Guild Fine Crafts in the Display Case Foothills Craft Guild is dedicated to encouraging the development and appreciation of arts and handicrafts of all types, promoting high standards of workmanship in handicrafts, conducting educational programs on handicrafts with all ages, sponsoring handicraft shows and demonstrations, and engaging in activities that contribute to the advancement, development, and appreciation of arts and handicrafts. Featuring work by more than 15 guild members, it highlights their upcoming Tennessee Showcase of Fine Artisans, Pam Harris November 4-6 at the Expo Center. Jack Retterer: Languages of Art on the North Wall Art, in its purest form, often communicates deep and strong feelings, private thoughts, or shared events in the human experience. The Languages of Art is an exploration of these human experiences through both photographic and verbal artistic skills. Jack Retterer first created photography to be followed up with a poetic interpretation of each image. However, he soon began to write the poems first and then seek an ideal image to reinforce the feelings, thoughts, and shared events of the poem. Jack is a fine art photographer, teacher, and poet who is active in the arts community in East Tennessee. His American Impressionist style photography and large canvas prints have been on display throughout the area. Prior to his move to East Tennessee, Jack taught photography at Benedictine University in Illinois. Currently, he teaches Fine Art Photography at the University of Tennessee. The exhibitions will be on display at the Emporium Center, located at 100 S. Gay Street in downtown Knoxville. The Emporium is open to the public Monday through Friday from 9 am to 5 pm and Saturday from 10 am to 1 pm. For more information, call 865-523-7543 or visit Jack Retterer KnoxAlliance.com.

Help Random Acts of Flowers Help Others

Flowers After Hours volunteers and their creations.

EVERY WEEK for the last 13 years, Random Acts of Flowers has stayed focused and true to its mission to improve the emotional health and well-being of individuals in healthcare facilities by delivering re-purposed flowers, encouragement, and personal moments of kindness. Even with the challenging environment that we are all facing, we are still able to accomplish this mission with the hard work of our more than 350 dedicated volunteers, our numerous donors, and our committed Perennial Society members; however, we can always use more support to keep delivering hope to our community.

Helping Random Acts of Flowers serve others can take many forms. Volunteering is a way that one can support our effort, and there is a variety of volunteering opportunities available, from volunteering to pick up donated flowers, to prepping donated flowers, to creating the bouquets, to delivering the completed bouquets. To learn more about becoming a volunteer, go to the volunteer section of our website at RAFKnoxville.org/volunteer.

To make a financial donation to support Random Acts of Flowers’ mission, you can visit our website at RAFKnoxville.org and click on the “Donation” tab and make an online contribution, or you can mail a check to 2936 Middlebrook Pike, Knoxville, TN 37921.

Another way to financially support Random Acts of Flowers is to have your next private celebration or team building event here at our workshop or at your facility. These events typically include an overview of Random Acts of Flowers and its mission, followed by a demonstration on how to create beautiful flower arrangements. Participants are then guided through the process of creating flower arrangements that will be delivered to individuals in local healthcare facilities.

For more information on making a donation, having a Random Acts of Flowers event, or volunteering, please call us at 865-6339082, email us at info@RAFKnoxville.org, or visit our website at RAFKnoxville.org.

KNOXVILLE IS VERY fortunate to be home to the Calvin M. McClung Historical Collection (not to be confused with the Frank H. McClung Museum, a wonderful museum on the campus of the University of Tennessee). The Calvin M. McClung Historical Collection is the local history and genealogy department of the Knox County Public Library and housed on the third floor of the East Tennessee History Center on Gay Street.

The McClung is home to a large collection of regional history and historic documents and is a top-notch genealogy research library. Some of its resources include newspapers, maps, manuscripts, government records, books, historic photographs, free access to web-based genealogical databases, and that’s just the beginning.

The McClung makes it easy for anyone to visit. It is open every day, but the times will differ depending on the day of the week. With helpful and friendly staff, fast service, and quiet corners to delve into a genealogy book or historic manuscript, anyone can find something to be excited about at the McClung.

If you are starting to research your family’s genealogy or just have some spare time one day, plan a visit and take one of the free introduction to internet genealogy classes. Find out who lived in your house in 1925 or check out where your grandmother lived in the 1940 U.S. Census. Make a day of it, and while you’re downtown, have lunch on Market Square, shop for bulk candy at the Mast General Store, or see a show at the historic Tennessee Theatre. So many changes have been taking place in downtown Knoxville, and your research on local history at the McClung will most likely make you want to explore more of this historic area.

For those wanting to explore the McClung online, they make it easy for you to look at historic images right from the comfort of your own home with its online digital collection. Spend hours hunting down historic images from Knoxville and East Tennessee. You can even purchase photos in a number of different ways.

Our favorite collection is the Thompson Photograph Collection taken by Knoxville’s own professional photographer, Jim Thompson. This collection has an estimated 75,000 negatives, providing a visual legacy of Knoxville and East Tennessee from 1907 until 1960. Preservation printing of these negatives has been the major focus of the McClung Historical Collection for two decades. Jim Thompson (1881-1976) and his younger brother, Robin Thompson (1895-1977), were business

Calvin M. McClung Historical Collection

partners from 1920 to 1926 as Thompson Brothers. Both men were pioneer commercial photographers. By the late 1920s, Jim’s (Jim Thompson Co.) and Robin’s (Robin Thompson, Inc.) photographs were appearing in local and national commercial publications. The next rainy day that has you looking for something to do, visit cmdc.knoxlib.org/ digital/collection and start exploring.

The Calvin M. McClung Historical Collection is located on the third floor of the East Tennessee History Center, located at 601 S. Gay Street in downtown Knoxville. Open every day, admission is free to the public. For more information, call 865-215-8801 or visit KnoxCountyLibrary.org/Calvin-M-McClung-Collection.

Knox Heritage preserves structures and places of historic or cultural significance for our community. Established in 1974 as a non-profit educational corporation, our organization works to protect and raise awareness of what is beautiful and irreplaceable in East Tennessee.

Reminding You to Not Let the Cat Out of the Bag So You Won’t Get the Cold Shoulder

Business Note

Photo by Mirtography

BY BRETT CAFFERTY

IDIOMS ARE defined as a group of words having a meaning not deducible from the individual words but instead established by usage. A recent article I came across was written to help new English speakers gain understanding of idioms that are frequently used in business and social situations - definitely not a piece of cake! This led to a search of a few common idiom phrases and their origins.

“Close, but no cigar” comes from traveling fairs and carnivals in the 1800s. The prizes back then were targeted to adults, usually cigars or bottles of whiskey. If you missed the prize at a carnival game, the carnie folk would shout, “Close! But no cigar!” By the 1930s, the phrase had extended beyond the fairground to mean any situation that was a near miss.

“Cold shoulder” is another one from the 1800s. If guests overstayed their welcome, the hosts would serve them a cold cut of shoulder meat (pork, mutton, or beef shoulder) - inferior in taste and the toughest part of the animal as a not so subtle signal that the meal was over and it was time for them to be on their way. It has morphed into any time your “friendliness” towards another has worn thin.

“Pull out all the stops” is a common term for using all available resources to achieve a desired result. This originally referred a pipe organ’s stop knobs, which are used to regulate the sound and volume. When the stops of the instrument are all pulled out, it opens the air flow to every pipe, which in turn makes the volume incredibly loud.

“Let the cat out of the bag” came about in the 1700s when piglets were sold in the street markets and placed in bags. A common scam was to replace the paid for piglet with cat that was much less valuable. When a cat was let out of a bag, the fraud was revealed. Now it’s mainly used for those who divulge a secret too soon.

“Chew the fat” was a common sailor’s term referring to the days when ships had to carry food that wouldn’t spoil. One of these was a tough, salted pork skin consisting largely of fat that would only be eaten if all other food was gone… the sailors often complained as they tried to consume these dregs of the food chain. Hence, this phrase for talking with no real purpose or outcome.

Within all this, I often feel sorry for those trying to learn “American English” as a second language, because many times our words do not mean what the words mean! Thank goodness for LinkedIn, Reader’s Digest, Merriam Webster, and ESL teachers everywhere who are there to help wade through our sometimes strange language and phrases.
