Avoid This Common $10k - $20k Plumbing Mistake
BY DAVID BREWSTER, OWNER OF AQUA CLEAR WATER SYSTEMS, LLC
IGUESS we have all heard about the $10k - $20k that area homeowners have shelled out to repair the pinhole leaks in their home’s copper plumbing. Clients I have worked with tell stories of massive floods, ripping out drywall, hidden mold growing behind walls, and the $10k - $20k re-plumbing jobs that have resulted. What many of us may not have heard about is that, in most cases, there is a safe and effective alternative to replacing your existing plumbing. Fortunately for many a homeowner, we have helped them avoid turning their home into a job site by simply fixing the water that travels through their existing pipes.
Chlorine is corrosive to copper. It reacts with the copper to create a chemical compound: Copper chloride. This compound can slowly attack copper from the inside, which results in those tiny but destructive pinhole leaks. Also, hard water, which is an abundance of calcium/magnesium, can erode copper pipes if a hot water recirculation pump is installed.
Kinetico water systems from Aqua Clear can safely remove the chlorine, chloramines, and hardness that can attack copper pipes from the inside. We also add a special coating filter, after the Kinetico system, to recoat the copper plumbing from the years of damage. After installing hundreds of Kinetico systems to fix our clients’ pinhole leak issues, we can say with 100% certainty that this system works!
We’ve been saving our valued clients from the expense of $10k - $20k re-plumbing jobs and also from turning their home into a job site. Not only did they save their plumbing, but they also get all the other benefits of installing a Kinetico whole house water filtration system. We are so confident in our turn-key pinhole leak prevention system that we will refund your investment if it doesn’t stop your pinhole leak problem. Call or text 865-234-1970 to schedule your free pinhole leak assessment, and get your questions answered.

AFEW MONTHS ago, John and I went out for lunch. Upon entering the establishment, we noticed several “Slippery - Floor Wet” signs positioned around the dining area. I walked as flat-footed as possible to avoid falling all the way to our seats. Once seated, John explained that all the grease and chemicals embedded in the floor had combined with the rain tracked in from outside and had created a dangerous situation. Is your business ready for the increased traffic of the holidays?
Sad fact: Billions of dollars are paid out by restaurants every year for “slip and fall” accidents of both guests and employees due to this very situation. Perhaps you have had a similar experience in your own home. If businesses that mop and clean every single day have these issues, it stands to reason that homeowners can suffer the same aggravations.
The only way to improve the safety of your floor is to remove ALL foreign debris. A mop simply can’t remove all the impurities, since it only addresses the top most layer of dirt/chemical build-up. The real problem lies under the surface. To open the pores within your tile and force them to relinquish the grime trapped within, you must apply extreme heat.
Surface Doc uses a combination of scalding water, high-pressure, and powerful suction - all contained within one powerful tool. This process removes everything that doesn’t belong. Without this procedure, you can only penetrate the topmost layer of the floor, leaving millions of particles behind. These impurities can cause premature wear to your floors over time, as well as cause a slippery mess. Since everyday cleaning methods push dirt deeper within the pores of your floor, it may be time to enlist the help of a professional.
If it’s time for your floors to look new again and you’d like to improve the safety of your home, please give us a call. We would be honored to give you a free in-home demonstration on your floors. You can also check us out online by visiting us at www.SurfaceDoc.com.
BY RANDY PATTERSON BOOMEROCITY.COM
SAY THE NAME “Dion” (as in Dion and the Belmonts) and all sorts of great songs come to mind. Tunes like “I Wonder Why,” “No One Knows,” “A Teenager in Lover,” “The Wanderer,” and “Runaround Sue” are among the many songs Dion DiMucci has burned into the memory of baby boomers the world over.
Since those wonderful days in the late ’50s and early ’60s, Dion has continued to record so much great music, crossing genres and remaining fresh and relevant all the way to today. For proof, one only has to purchase his new album, Stomping Ground, to hear how strong, fresh, and catchy Dion’s new music is. He’s joined on the disc with other great artists such as ZZ Top’s Billy Gibbons, Bruce Springsteen, Boz Scaggs, Eric Clapton, Peter Frampton, Joe Bonamassa, and several others.
During my conversation with Dion, we talked about the recent album. When I asked how this album is different from the 30+ other albums he has recorded over the years - either solo or with the Belmonts, Dion shared this insight.
“Well, I’d say the last two albums have been the most fun,” he said. “First of all, I feel like I can express a song better than I ever could. I’m writing better songs. Again, I have more life experience, and more to draw on so the songwriting is getting better. I feel like the singing is getting better. My guitar playing has certainly gotten better. I’m picking solos now! I feel like my skills have really improved and developed and evolved. I’ve evolved to what I’m doing now.”
Putting a fine point to that comment, Dion said, “I’ve settled (down), and it’s just a beautiful feeling - the friendships and the pouring out of a giving spirit. It’s making great music and making friends with the music; making new friends through the music. It’s been an amazing time for me. I’m glad I lived this long.”
When I asked Dion which song on the new album he would point to as a calling card for the whole album, he answered by sharing the story behind “Angel in an Alleyway.”
“I’ve been clean and sober 53 years, and I really felt like, at once. In 1968, an angel touched me, because I haven’t had a drug or drink since. It was killing me. I was really in the throes of like alcoholism and drug addiction. I wrote the song ‘Angel in the Alleyway’ with my guitar, and I sent it to Patti (Scialfa) and Bruce (Springsteen). They sent me back 64 tracks. What you’re hearing is Patti’s arrangement. I told Patti,
‘You’re an angel from Jersey!’”
Solidifying his choice of that song, Dion concluded, “Yeah, I’m gonna go with that song, because a few people have responded to it. I love it.” He added that when asked about what the song is about, he explains what “spiritual” means to him.
“I felt like I was touched in a very spiritual way at times in my life. To define spiritual means, not physical. Right? There’s a higher reality that people may not get to experience. But if you just open up, are willing, and you ask God to come into your life, there’s a higher reality. Faith is above reason. It’s a higher reality; divine reality; a permanent reality. It’s God’s reality. And I choose to accept his invitation to it.
As for what’s on Dion’s radar in the coming months, he shared, “Well, I’ve got a great band. A few of the guys on the album keep calling me and say, ‘Let’s do a show together.’ So maybe there’s a PBS show in the works? I don’t know. But as the country opens up, I just got to get my band and hit the road!”
Wrapping up our chat, I asked Dion what he hoped his legacy will be and how he hopes to be remembered. “I hope people just say he was real, you know? When you unzip him and looked inside - who he was on the outside, he was on the inside. Remembered as a man of prayer. A man who adored his family. “I met this guy - he used to define words for me. He taught me what love meant. I thought love was a feeling. I thought, ‘Boy, I don’t love her anymore.’ No, that’s not love. Love is a decision; it’s an act of your will. You choose to love.” And the world chose to love Dion DiMucci for many decades now and we always will. Dion’s album is available wherever you buy music. You can also order it directly from his website, www.DionDimucci.com, where you can keep up with the latest from Dion. Watch this interview in its entirety to hear Dion talk more about learning from life’s challenges and all the surprises that came from his recent album, visit www.Boomerocity.com.
Randy’s first interview was at the tender age of 13 with none other than Col. Tom Parker. Thirtysix years later he founded the webzine, Boomerocity. com, and has conducted close to 200 interviews with some of the most interesting people in music.

Subscribers will then have the opportunity to renew for the 2022-2023 season and secure their seats for Hamilton before tickets become available to the general public.
“Broadway at the Tennessee is a cornerstone of the rich arts, culture, and entertainment experiences Knoxville has to offer,” said Becky Hancock, Tennessee Theatre Executive Director. “The announcement of this new season also helps signify the return of live entertainment, as the local community and visitors come together to enjoy storytelling, music, and dance from the stage of Knoxville’s Grand Entertainment Palace. Whether you’re a subscriber or you’ve never seen a show at the Tennessee Theatre, we can’t wait to see you; this promises to be a special season as we gather together to experience the laughter, tears, and wonder of Broadway at the Tennessee.”

We want to make sure that the public understands, however, that tickets for Hamilton are not for sale currently. Those will be available once the 2022-2023 season is announced, which we anticipate will be around summer of 2022, and on sale exclusively through Ticketmaster.com.”

Custom pull-out vertical necklace board from Closets by McKenry with velvet lined jewelry tray. Engage matte gold jewelry pull-out with removable dividers for a modern look.
Jewelry tray insert for drawers.
MANY OF US will receive the most romantic of all Christmas presents this year: The gift of jewelry. Be it an everlasting engagement ring, a sparkly set of gemstone earrings, or a chic statement necklace, adding a new piece to your collection gives you a great reason to evaluate and organize what you already own. Below are four steps to make the most of your precious pieces.
1. Take inventory of your collection
Is your jewelry stashed in more than one place? Follow Marie Kondo’s advice and gather every type of jewelry you own - from costume to fine pieces - and corral it all into one place. A good idea is to lay a solid, light-colored bed sheet over your bed and spread your baubles neatly across it. Begin separating into categories that suit your visual and mental ways of organizing, be it by color, value, type, set, how often you wear it, etc.
2. Purge what you don’t love
Take stock of your stash. Are there rings due for repair, necklaces you no longer use, or earrings you haven’t worn since high school? Remove those items and decide whether or not they are worth salvaging, perhaps by passing them along for your children or grandkids to play dress-up or selling locally on consignment. If your heart tugs at a piece because of the memories associated with it or the person from whom it was received, plan to keep it in a different place.
3. Re-think your storage
Consider creating new storage for your collection to keep it close at hand, clean, and in view. Keep necklaces tangle-free using the small hooks of a tie rack, or install custom cabinetry with shallow drawers fitted with either stationary or removable velvet-lined trays. Leftover jewelry store boxes can become a pretty way to organize items like paper clips and spare ink pens or they can house those sentimental pieces that you no longer wear.
4. Create satellite safe spaces
In the bedroom, kitchen, and bath, find creative ways to keep your favorite pieces from being knocked off the counter (or down the drain). Set out a ring dish, or search for vintage saucers or bowls to keep earrings and necklaces safe. Or try a leather, snap-together valet tray that you can pack and take with you for hotel bathrooms or bedside tables while traveling.
By organizing your jewelry trove, you can breathe life into your collection while making room for new Christmas keepsakes. Visit Chris McKenry and his talented group of designers at the Closets by McKenry West Knoxville showroom to see jewelry storage in action (and dream up unique ways to organize your own adornments). Call or click for a free at-home or virtual consultation, and make sure to visit Chris and his team at the Dogwood Arts House & Garden Show, returning to the Knoxville Convention Center on February 11-13, 2022. They hope to see you there!

UT Gardens’ Plant of the Month Chinese Wild Ginger: Asarum Splendens
BY CAROL REESE, RETIRED UT EXTENSION HORTICULTURE EXPERT
CHINESE WILD ginger is a shining example of a tough and versatile ginger.
If you are tired of groundcovers so ordinary that you don’t even see them anymore, then you will appreciate the exquisite glossy marbling on each leaf of Chinese ginger. Asarum splendens is a spreading evergreen member of the pipevine family, Aristolochiaceae, and develops into a groundcover that spreads swiftly enough to achieve satisfying coverage but not so fast as to be rampantly difficult to control. With a height of just 6-8 inches, Chinese ginger provides a low but richly textured flooring under azaleas, aucuba, or bigleaf hydrangeas.
Its substantial cordate (heart-shaped) leaves offer bolder foliage than the typical evergreen groundcovers, well appreciated in the shade garden once the summer foliage of hostas have been erased by frost.
Winter containers benefit from its mounding dark foliage to anchor sparkling golden or variegated sedges and saucy pansies. The deep green leaves are almost black yet offer shimmering glints of silver when struck by light. Don’t worry about putting Chinese ginger into all day sun during the cooler months. During summer, either move the container to a shady setting or add a tall plant to the combination that can offer shelter from the sun during the hottest parts of the day.
In the landscape, remember that its very dark foliage can make it almost disappear in deep shade, so bring it forward where it can enjoy a few hours of late or early sunlight, or use in bright shade - or at least provide some contrast with lighter foliaged plants for backdrop.
This plant does well in dry shade as long as soils are not terribly droughty and is happy in the company of autumn fern, heuchera, and hellebore. It is deer resistant and durably perennial in Zones 5 to 9. In the very coldest Tennessee winters or regions, it may lose some foliage to a severe drop in temperatures but will rebound in spring.
Let’s face it, most evergreen perennials generally fall into two categories - the overused and predictable groundcovers or the sadly underutilized - when there are many that can play a variety of roles for yearround interest.
Specimens of Chinese wild ginger are located at the UT Gardens, Jackson, in the north shrub border and at the UT Gardens, Knoxville in the tranquility hosta garden.

The UT Gardens includes plant collections located in Knoxville, Crossville, and Jackson. Designated as the official botanical garden for the State of Tennessee, the collections are part of the UT 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 utia.tennessee.edu/ state-botanical-garden.
I'D LIKE to cover a bit on landscaping before I talk about holiday plants: ✻ Yes, you can still plant. Our soil seldom freezes, so trees and shrubs can continue to be planted. This gives them an advantage over plants installed in the spring. ✻ If you haven’t mulched lately, consider adding enough to give you about 3" to keep the soil temperature and moisture levels more stable. ✻ Evaluate your landscape after the leaves fall. Is it boring? Do you need to add plants for visual interest in the winter? ✻ Keep weeding!
Now let’s talk about the care of seasonal plants:
Christmas Cactus
The Christmas cactus and its cousins are very low maintenance, but there are a few tricks to growing them: ✻ They are tropical cactus, not desert cactus. They don’t like hot afternoon sun or to get bone dry. They do like lots of light, however, and won’t bloom well if kept in too dark a spot. ✻ The bloom cycle is triggered by cool temperatures and longer periods of darkness. Keep them away from heat sources and give them 13 hours of darkness per day. ✻ Don’t overwater. Every couple of weeks is fine for most homes.
Once the blooms have finished, let them rest for a bit by withholding water for 4-5 weeks. When you see new growth, it’s time to resume regular watering. If the plant has been in the same pot for more than 3-4 years or if it’s very crowded, you’ll need to up-pot. Don’t worry if you accidentally break some pieces off, because they’re easy to propagate. Call us if you need instructions.
Cut Christmas Trees and Greenery
Please be aware that there’s a tree shortage. I suggest you don’t procrastinate in finding one! You might also end up with a tree that doesn’t quite meet all your wishes, but remember that all trees are beautiful once decorated.
We will do a fresh cut on your tree, but you need to get it in water within 20-30 minutes or the cut will re-seal. If that happens, you should do another cut when you get it home. Use a tree stand that holds at least a gallon of water and keep it full. Once a tree dries out, the cut seals and it will no longer take up water.
As for wreaths and garland, they will do best if they’re sprayed with an anti-transpirant or misted with water regularly. They are also happiest if they get some shade from hot afternoon sun.
Poinsettia
I would love to meet the person who decided a tropical flower would be a great plant for Christmas. If you want to keep it alive, follow these guidelines:
✻ Always buy from a greenhouse or garden center. The box stores and groceries simply do not have the experience to handle a poinsettia. ✻ Don’t purchase a plant that’s already in a plastic sleeve. This camouflages damage and creates a fungal breeding ground around the plant. The plant should be placed in a sleeve for transportation, but remove the sleeve when you get home by cutting it off or pulling it from the bottom. ✻ Don’t expose the poinsettia to cold temperatures. Anything below 50 will damage it. Freezing temperatures will kill it in less than a minute. Keep it away from drafts and windows and doors. ✻ The bracts are very fragile because of the size of the blooms. This means it should be put where it will not be bumped or brushed against. ✻ The poinsettia is not poisonous. Some people (and animals) may have a reaction to the sap, however, so keep it away from pets and children. ✻ Water the plant when the soil feels dry. I find it easiest to take mine out of the wrap and put it in the sink to water it. After it drains, I put it back in the wrap. Don’t let water stand in the wrap because the poinsettia is prone to root rot. There are going to be all sorts of plants marketed for the holidays! In addition to the typical Amaryllis, Cyclamen, and shaped herbs, you will find Rex Begonias and houseplants! Some will live year-round, some prefer to go outside, and some will go dormant after they flower. Give us a call if you have any questions!
Remember that we’re here all winter long to answer questions and help you plan for the spring. We will be closed on Sundays and Mondays January through March, but you can always call or email. We want to help you have a beautiful garden!
From all of us at Meadow View, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and Happy New Year. If you celebrate another holiday, we hope it is wonderful, too! Thank you for your loyalty. We really do have the greatest customers ever.
