Art show is labor of love for Mullins Carolyn Mullins says the two-year project of readying the works of the late Knoxville artist Ted Burnett for an art show and sale has been a labor of love. Mullins says she and her husband, Bill, were among Burnett’s “groupies” at his bohemian art gallery, the Art Mart on Fifth Avenue, in the mid-1960s.

Singers, Clark Miller and Darrell Acuff, Standing Room Only, Andy LeGrand, Tom Norris, David Hickman and Tyler Jordan. Inside the art center last Thursday, Louise F. Tremblay was working on her painting, “The Family Reunion,” just before Aurora Harrison Bull’s oil panting class began. “I started working on it in 2000, put it in the closet and got it
back out,” Tremblay says. Art Center executive director Sylvia Williams says more exciting events are just around the corner. The seventh annual Fountain City Art Center Members’ Show kicks off with a reception 6:30-8 p.m. Friday (Oct. 12). The show runs through Nov. 9. A murder mystery, “Miss Marple’s 1937 Halloween,” will be held
6-8 p.m. Friday, Oct. 26, at the Joe Whaley home (formerly the Dempster Mansion), 2805 Gibbs Dr. A Halloween 1937 motif will be employed for the food and decorations, Williams says. Andy LeGrand will host classical guitar concerts at the center at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Nov. 9-10. Info: 357-2787.
Bringing hope to the homeless The Knoxville community gathered at Beaver Creek Cumberland Presbyterian Church on Sept. 27 to support Lost Sheep Ministries, an organization that assists the homeless with medical care and weekly meals. The event included dinner and a silent auction and featured guest speaker Barbara Dooley. Dooley is the wife of legendary former Georgia football coach Vince Dooley, mother of Tennessee coach Derek Dooley and entertainer extraordinaire. Her comedic quips began before she ever hit the stage. “Have you ever told Maxine no?” replied Dooley when asked why she agreed to be the guest speaker. “When I agreed to do this, it was months ago and I thought Georgia was playing in Knoxville. Now I have to turn around and go home. But I’m all orange now.” Executive director Maxine Raines, who founded the grassroots

ministry 22 years ago, spent nine years on the street when she was a kid. Raines said seeing the homeless on a visit to Washington, D.C., as an adult pulled at her heart. “After that trip God led me to start this ministry,” said Raines. “Realizing that help is needed is how any ministry begins. I am giving back because of what people did for me when I was homeless.” The “Under the Bridge” ministry began in 1993. Since that time there has not been a single Wednesday that the homeless in Knoxville could not find hot food, clothing and a Christ-inspired message. Hot meals are also served during Thanksgiving and Christmas and on many Saturdays. More than 1,200 people receive these meals each week thanks to monetary donations and the generosity of volunteers. “My message tonight is going to have to be about love and faith, because

Art show and sale to highlight work of Ted Burnett Carolyn Mullins says the two-year project of readying the works of the late Knoxville artist Ted Burnett for an art show and sale has been a labor of love.
This portrait of Ted Burnett was sketched by his son, Bim. Photos submitted
Jake Mabe MY TWO CENTS Mullins says she and her husband, Bill, were among Burnett’s “groupies” at his bohemian art gallery, the Art Mart on Fifth Avenue, in the mid-1960s. She says Lanelle Holley, who works with her at Mullins’ Village Fine Art Gallery, was one of Burnett’s art students. “Ted went through all kinds of styles,” Mullins says, “most of which have not been seen in public.” All that will change Sunday, Oct. 14, during a special art show and sale 2-7 p.m. at Village Fine Art Gallery,

4660 Old Broadway. A percentage of sales will benefit co-sponsor the East Tennessee Historical Society. Burnett, who died in 1982, did not promote his artwork much during his lifetime. His most avid col-
lector was his wife, Hazel, who passed away in 2006. Burnett developed myriad styles, including heavilytextured florals, abstract landscapes/seascapes, nonrepresentational modern and modern expressionist
paintings in mixed media, a series replicating mosaics, and abstract nudes in watercolor representing the 12 signs of the Zodiac. Mullins says he took a special interest in casein paintings. Born in Knoxville in 1908, Burnett graduated from the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts and studied at
The Chicago Art Institute and Eliot O’Hara Watercolor School in Maine. He is survived by two sons, Mitch and Fielden. The Burnetts’ other son, Bim, passed away in 2005. Burnett also made his own frames for his artwork, some of which will also be for sale. Info: 687-0411.
Fontinalis Club will meet Thursday, Oct. 11, at Central Baptist Church of Fountain City, 5364 N. Broadway. The board meeting will be held at 9:30 a.m., coffee will be served at 10 and the general meeting will begin at 10:30. Club members will then carpool to the Fountain City Art Center on Hotel Avenue for a presentation by executive director Sylvia Williams.

government Alexander pivotal in TVA confirmations President Obama has nominated three more persons for the TVA board, which will guarantee a quorum should they be confirmed. One of the nominees is Mike McWherter, son of the late Gov. Ned McWherter and unsuccessful candidate for governor in 2010. If the President is not reelected, expect these nominees to fail and a President Romney to nominate four new board members, but it means the board will lack a quorum for several months. However, if President Obama is re-elected, some or all of these nominees may win confirmation. The President’s four nominees may or may not meet the corporate experience standard which Sen. Bob Corker favors for the TVA board. The Senate does not go back into session until Nov. 13 and is likely to meet for only three weeks with the budget topping the list of must-do items. Given all that the lameduck session of Congress has to do, confirming four TVA nominations (one was made last February) will not rank high on the agenda. Hearings have not even been set. Furthermore, the White House failure to consult Sen. Lamar Alexander during this process is nothing short of stunning. He has a longtime interest in TVA and is a pivotal player in determining who gets confirmed. It appears TVA may hire a successor to Tom Kilgore but the agency has declined to reveal what the consulting firm is being paid to assist the board in finding the replacement. Travis Brickey, TVA public relations spokesperson, said, “Typically, specific information regarding contract amounts are confidential due to the competitive contract process.� One would think release of the actual amount which ratepayers are paying would be in the public interest and would not compromise competitive bids. All competitive bids for the city of Knoxville and Knox County are a matter of public record for any citizen to inspect, but not at TVA apparently. Kilgore will have almost $7 million in his retirement package despite a rocky tenure as CEO which left many ratepayers unhappy. If ratepayers got to vote on his considerable retirement package, it would fail. The current board is anxious

Varlan today (Oct. 8) becomes the chief judge of the Eastern District of Tennessee which means he presides over judicial meetings of the judges and can hire an additional law clerk. The term is seven years. Varlan is a former city of Knoxville law director for 10 years which makes him the longest serving city law director in the past 80 years. Varlan as chief judge is the administrative judge for the district. He has been a member of the Judicial Conference of the United States since 2010 – the first judge of the Eastern District of Tennessee to be appointed to the Judicial Conference in 30 years. While this district court has existed for 225 years, Varlan is only the 21st person to hold a U.S. District judgeship, having been appointed by former President George W. Bush in 2003.

Cliff gets one right I had a really good story fall through last week. It was about a new Knoxvillian who has faced all kinds of personal tragedy with courage and grace and whose dearest wish is to be able to register to vote in the November elections. It would have made you cry. But she’s a private person and decided she didn’t want that kind of publicity. She just wants to vote in Knox County. That didn’t seem like much to ask, especially for someone who has faced unimaginable challenges over the past seven years. The most recent chapter of her story began this summer when she got a call from her oldest daughter, who told her mom she had just been diagnosed with lung cancer.

Betty Bean “I made a quick decision to make a beeline to Knoxville to help my daughter,� she said, despite her own fight to overcome breast cancer. But she retired from her job as a law librarian in 2005 after losing her home to hurricane Katrina, so she’s able to relocate on short notice. And her baby needed her. She settled in pretty quickly. She has two daughters here, and they are all living together. She is continuing her own chemotherapy at the same time that her oldest daughter begins her own battle.
She doesn’t have a car and is alone a lot during the day while her daughters are working. She’s keenly interested in politics and has been following the issues around the presidential race on cable TV. Stories about the new Voter ID laws were daunting. A couple of weeks ago, one of her daughters’ church friends gave her a ride out to the Tennessee Department of Safety’s driver service center in Strawberry Plains so she could get a photo ID. It was a long ride but she figured it was worth it to be able to vote. Unfortunately, it didn’t work. The clerk who processed her request wanted to see a birth certificate (which she didn’t have) and proof that she really lives in Knoxville – a deed or KUB bill with her name on it. She didn’t have that, either. What she did have was
a valid out-of-state drivers license with her photo on it and a change-of-address form from the post office. She caught a break the follow ing week when Knox County Elections Administrator Cliff Rodgers heard of her plight. It took Cliff Rodgers him about 10 seconds to opine that her out-of-state drivers license and proof of residence were plenty enough to qualify her to vote. She filled out the forms and will have a new voter’s registration card this week. Rodgers said this isn’t the first time he’s heard about this kind of problem. He shook her hand and welcomed her to Knoxville and she went home with a smile on her face.

Cheap trip to Starkville
Eden’s Law
TALES OF TENNESSEE | Marvin West CROSS CURRENTS | Lynn Hutton

ased on the assumption that many Shopper-News readers have never been to Mississippi State for a late-night football game, and may not go, here is a virtual trip without charges for travel, food, lodging or tickets. The appropriately named town of Starkville (nicknamed Starkpatch by the crude and insensitive) is a ways down the road from Memphis and out Highway 82. Population is 23,926 except on select Saturdays. Starkville is the social and political hub of Oktibbeha County. It was Choctaw country before the relatively young USA worked out a little land swap with the Indians. Eleven million acres changed hands in the 1830 Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek. You can look it up. Starkville has made great strides. Median household income is $22,590. What you may have heard about food stamps just isn’t true. “Everybody� is not everybody. Starkville is famous for far more than football and creative recruiting. Notorious gangster Machine Gun Kelly lived there two years while studying agriculture. His highest grade was C+ in physical hygiene. If professors had been more supportive, Kelly might have chosen farming over crime. Cool Papa Bell brought honor. He went from Starkville to the baseball Hall of Fame. Julio Borbon went from Starkville to UT to the Texas Rangers. Jerry Rice made his mark in the NFL. I’ve always thought a Starkville highlight was the arrest and overnight lockup of Johnny Cash. That was 1965. Johnny warmed the concert crowd at the animal husbandry building on the MSU campus. He sang bass and songs about crycry-crying, freight trains and walking the line. His band retreated to Memphis but Cash, supposedly troubled and restless, decided to hang around. He visited a frat house, dropped in on a private party and finally arrived at the University Motel. Well, shucks, or something like that, he was out of cigarettes. He went walking but convenience stores were closed. He was intrigued by a private lawn sprinkled with flowers. I don’t know what he was doing beside that tree. Somebody who should have been asleep called the law. The police didn’t believe Johnny Cash was Johnny Cash. They thought the gaunt man in black might be a migratory vagrant. They took him in to sober up. He kicked the cell door and broke his toe. To get even, he wrote the song “Starkville City Jail.� There is no Starkville city jail but not many words rhyme with Oktibbeha County Jail.
Or what woman having 10 silver coins, if she loses one of them, does not light a lamp, sweep the house, and search carefully until she finds it? When she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, “Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin that I had lost.� (Luke 15: 8-9 NRSV)
H This photo by Robbie Ward shows the place you don’t want to be in Starkville. Years later, keen, cognizant Robbie Ward turned Cash’s version of the arrest, that he was just picking flowers, into a festival and negotiated a symbolic “pardon� for the repentant superstar. Amazing what all goes on in Starkpatch, oops, Starkville. Good town. Good people. Many places of worship. Twice as many Baptists as Methodists. First in Mississippi to prohibit indoor smoking. Starkvillians are not all rednecks in bib overalls and old pickup trucks. There is considerable culture, a clock museum, a piano showcase, a strong veterinary school, the John Grisham room at the campus library. Even as we speak, the Starkville Community The-
ater is rehearsing Six Dance Lessons by Richard Alfieri. Hotel Chester, 101 North Jackson Street, is on the National Register of Historic Places. Football fans can be a country pain. They ring those blasted cowbells before, during and after games at Davis Wade Stadium. They talk about cowbell etiquette but clangclanging continues. The SEC fined the school $30,000 and imposed cowbell limitations. Compliance will supposedly determine the future of the bells. The NCAA will determine the future of recruiting. Big, bad Bulldogs may determine the football future of Tennessee. Marvin West invites reader reaction. His address is westwest6@netzero.com
ere we are, back in Jesus’ Lost and Found Department: a lost sheep, a lost coin, and the triumphant story of the lost son (or the lost older brother, depending on where you stand to view the action). I may as well confess my shortcomings up front and get it over with. Clutter and I are well acquainted. I blame my love of the written word, mostly, because I cannot bear to throw away a scrap of paper with some well-crafted sentence on it. I have magazines (especially Christmas issues) that I haven’t looked at in years. Enough confessing. You get the idea. I have too much stuff, too many tasks to complete, too many responsibilities, and too many other things I would rather do than deal with the problem. All of which means I spend a fair amount of time looking for things, which is why I love Jesus’ Lost and Found Department. Boy, can I relate to the woman looking for the coin! When my daughter Eden
was about 5, I was frantically searching for something, she observed calmly, “Don’t worry, Mom. You’ll find it when you are looking for something else.� Turned out, she was right – then, and many times since. It happened to me today – twice! I had been searching for well over a week for a pair of earrings that I love. My Jordan bought them years ago at the Greekfest at St. George’s, and eventually turned them over to me. They are simple teardropshaped black leather, with a Chi slashed across them – the first letter in Christos. This morning, I was looking for a coin, needing another quarter to make a simple purchase, and there they were, in the cup holder of my car. When I found them, I remembered why I had taken them off and put them there, and laughed at myself. On a much more frustrating level, I had bought two pages of stamps last week. I remembered well
where I was standing when I used the first one. I was in my office. I could not remember using another one. Could I find them now? Are you kidding? I searched at home, at work, in my car (several times), at home again, at work again. Finally, because I had things I had to mail, I went to the Post Office and was standing in line to buy more stamps. I reached into my purse to retrieve my wallet and saw a folded piece of paper I didn’t recognize. My stamps. I had looked in my purse before, but if you think my house is cluttered ‌! I’m quite certain the nice lady behind the counter wondered why I came to the Post Office. For a visit? Just to say hello? I smiled at her as I turned and left, making no purchase, offering no explanation. Eden’s Law has not been repealed. I find things when I am looking for something else. If that is true in a house (or car), is it also true in life? In relationships? In our work or play? In our Christian walk? Like the woman in the parable, I should call some friends to come and celebrate with me. But I would have to clean the house first.

Spider guarding her egg case
Tales from the back field NATURE NOTES | Dr. Bob Collier Fall is upon us. You can probably tell from all those Asian stink bugs that are moving back into the house with you. But outside, the sumacs are already deep crimson. The dogwoods are turning, and their berries are red and ripe. Our yard mockingbird is working frantically to defend his berry trees from all comers. But soon there will be more “comers” than even he can handle. The cedar waxwings, or a flock of migrating rose-breasted grosbeaks, will likely put him out of business in a matter of a few minutes. I’ve just put new sunflower seeds in the bird feeder in hopes of encouraging the local chickadees and titmice to bring a few visiting migrants into the yard for us, but there’s still a lot of wild bird food available. Out in the back field there are a lot of grasses and wildflowers going to seed; there are still some wild grapes hanging on; there are lots of bugs, including inchworms, moths and spiders. The flocks of meat-eating birds
are going over every twig and leaf several times a day to find and gobble up whatever may be lurking there. For several years now, I’ve been leaving three sizeable patches of goldenrod to grow up and bloom in the back field. They’re peaking out right about now. That’s definitely where the action is – at least, the bug, butterfly, spider, bee and wasp action. Goldenrod attracts loads of insect life because, unlike ragweed, which is sending tons of spiky pollen grains into the air (and into our sinuses) these days, goldenrod makes heavy, sticky pollen that stays put in the blossoms until removed or eaten by something. It must be good, with considerable food value, judging by the number of customers it draws. A quick afternoon survey of a goldenrod patch generally produces a list of a couple dozen kinds of flies, bees and wasps, bugs, beetles, butterflies and spiders. Some of the visitors are eating the goldenrod pollen right there on the spot, while others are carrying it

away. You’ll see bumblebees and honeybees with the pollen sacs on their hind legs full of gathered pollen to be taken back and fed to the larvae in hive or nest. But, just as in your garden, not everything you see on your plants is there to eat them. A lot of them are there to eat the ones that are eating the plants. That’s how it is out there in the back field, a whole lot of being eaten as well as eating. Take aphids, for example. As things dry up this time of the year, you see fewer aphids because they like to suck the juices out of tender, growing parts of a plant, like your rose bushes and tomatoes. But a few things are still putting out new growth, like the seed pods of butterfly weed and flowers of the goldenrods. And there are the aphids. Aphids begin life in the spring as hatchlings from eggs laid in the previous fall. But after that, things are anything but usual for the aphids. Those spring females quickly mature and the females produce zillions of baby female aphids, by live birth, with no males involved. That is called parthenogenesis, or virgin birth, and some other organisms reproduce in the same way. I’m not making this up, honest. Aphids can produce as many as 13 generations in a season. Imagine how many that would make if every single daughter aphid survived and began producing her generations. I once read in a gardening book an estimate for how
TAN FREE weekend
long it would take, if every new aphid lived, for them all to equal the weight of the entire Earth. It wasn’t a very long time. Lucky for us, there are lots of things out there that love to eat aphids, ladybugs, for one, and their larvae. They eat them steadily, day after day. You can purchase ladybugs to put in your garden to clean up those aphids without chemicals and such. Another major aphid-eater is the larva of the delicate-looking lacewing fly; they munch them voraciously as well. And going at them from another approach, several species of small parasitic wasps lay their eggs in aphids and thus eat them from the inside out. Very effective. I watched the other day as a species of assassin bug with a daggerlike beak pierced aphid after aphid, sucking them dry. Thank goodness we have some help out there to keep us from being smothered by tons and tons of aphids! Another critter that’s on our side is the cool little crab spider. They run from 1/4-inch to 1/2inch in size and they hold their front two pairs of legs up and out, like a crab holds its front claws. And, like crabs, they run faster sideways and backwards than straight ahead. Crab spiders change color according to the flowers they are hiding on. They generally start out white in the spring, lurking in the white spring wildflowers. Then, toward summer, when they move
to yellow flowers, they can turn yellow in seven to 10 days. This makes for excellent camouflage for their line of work: they make no web, but instead, hide amongst the parts of a flower and wait for insect prey to come to the flower for pollen, and then pounce, grab and eat. They often catch insects larger than they are. Once when I was out photographing butterflies, I spotted a nice gray hairstreak butterfly, known to be fast and skittish. It was on a milkweed blossom and I approached it with care and stealth, snapping a photo each time I got a little closer. This was in film days and each slide taken added up to more money at the photo store. As I got really close, I suddenly remembered words I’d read in an article about photographing butterflies: “Sometimes a difficult butterfly that you can get really close to is actually dead and in the clutches of a crab spider.” Well, they were right. The one-inch butterfly was in the grasp of a little yellow 3/8-inch crab spider, with nothing much left but the wings! Vegetarians? Ladybugs and crab spiders wouldn’t understand what you were talking about. And it’s a good thing that they, along with all those birds scouring the leaves and branches, feel that way about it or we would have, as they say, a real situation on our hands.

Serving the community By Cindy Taylor Union Baptist Church in Halls drew a crowd of more than 300 during its annual fall festival Sept. 29. Attendees were offered food, games and prizes, a cake walk, face painting, crafts, contests and door prizes. There were inflatables for the kids and a car show to keep adults occupied while the younger ones played. All aspects of the festival are free. Pastor Gary Vandergriff and volunteers from the church have been offering the event for the past nine years as a ministry to the community. “I try to speak to as many people as I can who are visiting the festival,” said Vandergriff. “This is an outreach for the church and a way to connect to the community
with no strings attached.” April will mark the church’s 100-year anniversary. The community can expect even more special events scattered throughout Ashley and 17-month-old Braxton Swift enjoy the inflatables next year. at the fall festival.

Shopper-News Presents Miracle Makers
Community schools ready to take off By Wendy Smith
A
quick stroll through Pond Gap Elementary School at 4 p.m. demonstrates why Knox County Schools is investing in the community school movement. In the circus class, held in the cafeteria, kids read a book about circus animals before bouncing around tables on jumping balls. Down the hall, students receive individualized attention from teachers on math homework. In music class, Ronda Mostella encourages students to sit up straight to improve their sound. But the message is about more than singing. “If you sit up straight, your grades will go up. All it takes is getting your instrument straight.” Other important things are going on in the University-Assisted Community School. Some that can’t be observed. Data shows that most participants are staying the same or performing better in reading and math. Additionally, absences, tardies and behavioral referrals are down, and that means parental involvement is improving. Both things are remarkable, given the population served by the program, says Bob Kronick. The UT College of Education, Health and Health Sciences professor began his work on the community school concept 13 years ago. Community schools allow children to receive education and enrichment after school hours and offer services like meals, health care and classes, to adults in the community. Benefits extend beyond the Pond Gap neighborhood. The community school also provides hands-on experience and research opportunities for the many UT students who work there. This is the third year of the program, which is funded by a grant from UT alumnus Randy Boyd. An

additional grant from the United Way of Greater Knoxville allows 80 kids to participate this year. Kronick’s plea at a June County Commission meeting resulted in a $500,000 commitment from Knox County Schools to create three more community schools. The Great Schools Partnership provides further funding for the initiative. Programs are opening this fall at

Drema Bowers Mitchell is the Project GRAD administrator at Lonsdale Elementary. The community school there will initially serve 80 students, and programs are scheduled to begin Oct. 22. Students will participate in afterschool programs until 5:15 p.m. Monday through Thursday, then dinner will be served to students and their families. Mitchell thinks Lonsdale is ahead of the curve because of Project GRAD’s presence on the campus. Resource coordinator Susan Bryant and afterschool coordinator Adam Fritts were already working at the school with Project GRAD and have experience with after-school tutoring.
Mitchell has observed the program at Pond Gap and has toured community schools in Cincinnati. But every community school looks different, because every community is different, she says. A steering committee made up of parents, teachers and community partners recommended the classes and services that will be available to adults while children are receiving extra instruction at Lonsdale. Opportunities will include a Hispanic women’s group, a keyboarding class and GED class. Interns from UT and LMU will work with students at Lonsdale, and 15 community partners, including the Joy of Music School and Ijams Nature Center, are on board. Knox County Schools has contracts with health, mental health and dental care providers that will offer services at each of the three community schools. “It’s a very exciting time for us,” says Mitchell. “Our goal is to see kids improve academically and be empowered.” Kronick serves as a consultant to the new community schools. With the support of the community, local government, school administrators and teachers, Knox County Schools is poised to take off, he says. “It’s like we’re No. 3 in line at Hartsfield Airport. Everything’s in place. Unless we mess it up, it’s set to go beautifully. The potential is there.”

The St. James Episcopal Church Treble Choir only has 10 members. But the group’s potential to inspire the church and the community is huge, in spite of its small size. More than half of the new choir’s membership comes from kids who spend time at the nearby Boys and Girls Club of the Tennessee Valley. The church’s choir director, Jason Overall, formed the choir to offer musical training to kids from the community as well as the youth from St. James. “It’s an outreach to our kids, too,” he says. The choir has been practicing for a month and is Roma Hoffman, Rayuana Garrett, Mykenzie Lambert and Mia Rorex clap to rhythms specified by off to a strong start.

Why did you choose this career?
My dad was an automotive mechanic who could fix anything, and I really respect anyone with the gift for being able to fix something broken. Plus I’m a car nut, so it is second nature to me.

Looking for ‘Mr. Knoxville’
Beaver Brook Nine-Hole Golf Group winners
Goodwill Industries-Knoxville Inc. is looking for individuals to compete in the 18th annual “Mr. Knoxville” contest to be held 7 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 15, at the Hilton-Knoxville. All proceeds will benefit Goodwill’s mission to offer employment opportunities to those with barriers to employment. The contest will include beauty-pageant spoof categories including outfit of choice, skills and talent. The winner will be determined by how much money is raised by each contestant. Info: 588-8567.
Beaver Brook Country Club Nine-Hole Women’s Golf Group played Guys and Dolls on Oct. 2. Winners are: first place, Jimmy Hawkins and Nicole Workman; second place, Ebb Sharpe and Connie Sharpe; third place, Steve McGhee and Carol McGhee.
After the first sustained period of growth in nearly four years, the local real estate markets leveled off somewhat in September. For Witt the month ending on Friday, Sept. 28, there were 660 property sales recorded by the Register of Deeds office, or 177 fewer than during the month of August. The figures are almost flat even when compared to September 2011, when 669 parcels were sold. The total value of real estate sold during September was $232.4 million, but was bolstered by a single transfer that came in at $100 million. Even without the large transfer, however, the data compared favorably to last September when $111 million was sold. Mortgage lending markets
continued to perform well. For the month, about $308 million was loaned against property in Knox County, compared to just $238 million in September of 2011. Low interest rates, government programs and slightly improved property values have combined to make 2012 a strong year for refinancing. The largest property transfer of the month, and of the year to date, was the sale for $100 million of a health care facility in the Dowell Springs complex on Middlebrook Pike. The largest mortgage transaction was a loan secured by Knoxville Hotel Associates for $11.5 million against property on Lake Avenue. Although property sales did experience a downturn in September, it should be noted that this comes on the heels of a six-month stretch that outperformed the same period from 2011. Historically, September almost always brings such a drop in sales as construction slows with the onset of fall.

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER
Fort Sanders named a ‘Top Performer’ Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center has been recognized as one of the nation’s Top Performers on Key Quality Measures by The Joint Commission, an independent nonprofit organization that accredits 3,400 hospitals in the United States. Fort Sanders is among just 620 American hospitals to receive the honor. The Joint Commission announced the distinction Sept. 18 in its report, “Improving America’s Hospitals: The Joint Commission Annual Report on Quality and Safety 2012.” “We’re the Jenny Hanson, Fort proud to be Sanders CNO, VPO named a Top
Performer,” says Jennifer Hanson, Chief Nursing Officer and Vice President of Operations for Fort Sanders Regional. “The credit goes to the collective effort of many people working together.” Only 18 percent of the hospitals evaluated received the Top Performer designation. They were evaluated and recognized for using best practices over a long period of time. These best practices are evidence-based, which means that research has shown them to provide the best possible patient outcomes. Best practices in a hospital must involve the entire staff. “This is a collaborative effort that requires the involvement of everyone,” explains Hanson. “It takes a team working together to achieve this distinction.” Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center succeeded in all four areas that were examined: heart attack, heart failure,
pneumonia and surgical care. In each area, there were dozens of best practices examined. “We have been performing at 95 percent on all of the measures, which is nice to know,” says Hanson. “The most important thing is our commitment
AHA honors FSRMC with Bronze STEMI Award
The American Heart Association recognizes this hospital for achieving 85% or higher composite adherence to all Mission: Lifeline STEMI Receiving Center Performance Achievement indicators for consecutive 90-day intervals and 75% or higher compliance on all Mission: Lifeline STEMI Receiving Center quality measures to improve the quality of care for STEMI patients.
The American Heart Association has honored Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center with the 2012 Mission: Lifeline STEMI Receiving Center Bronze Performance Achievement Award. The award recognizes Fort Sanders’ commitment and success in implementing a high standard of care for heart attack patients. Each year in the United States, nearly 300,000 people have a STEMI, or ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, the most severe form of heart attack. Hospitals involved in Mission: Lifeline are part of a system that makes sure STEMI patients get the right care they need, as quickly as possible. Mission: Lifeline focuses on improving the system of care for these patients and at the same time improving care for all heart attack patients. As a “STEMI Receiving Hospital,” Fort Sanders meets high standards of performance in quick and appropriate treatment of STEMI patients to open the blocked artery.
For example, in cardiac care, best practices include giving an aspirin to every potential heart attack patient and getting that person to the heart catheterization lab very quickly. “We know if heart attack patients receive intervention within 90 minutes, their outcomes are much better,” explains Hanson. While the staff of Fort Sanders keeps tabs on its own practices for its own continua al improvement, ual H Hanson says the Top Performer designation is something to be proud of. “It’s an honor to be recognized by a respected outside o organization like Th Joint CommisThe sion.”
to providing safe and effective care. We know we’re offering the best possible urr outcomes for our patients.”
Fort Sanders receives Platinum Cardiac Award Fort Sanders Regional’s Cardiac Services Department is the recipient of the 2012 American College of Cardiology Foundation’s NCDR ACTION Registry – 2012 GWTG Platinum Performance Achievement Award. Fort Sanders is one of just 164 hospitals nationwide to receive this designation. The award recognizes the hospital’s commitment and success in implementing a higher standard of care for heart attack patients and signifies that Fort Sanders has reached an aggressive goal of treating these patients to standard levels of care as outlined by the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association clinical guidelines and recommendations.
To receive the ACTION Registry – GWTG Platinum Performance Achievement Award, Fort Sanders consistently followed the treatment guidelines in the ACTION Registry – GWTG Premier for eight consecutive quarters and met a performance standard of 90 percent for specific performance measures. Following these treatment guidelines improves adherence to ACC/AHA Clinical Guideline recommendations and monitors drug safety and the overall quality of care provided to ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and non- ST- elevation myocardial infarction patients (NSTEMI).
Fort Sanders respiratory therapist wins Everest Award Covenant Health recently celebrated excellence in performance and process improvement across the health system at the 2012 Performance Excellence Awards. More than 200 people attended a special celebration luncheon. The prestigious Covenant Everest Award was announced at the event. It recognizes individual peak performers and is based on entries from employees, physicians and volunteers. The honor recognizes individual achievements of
nonmanagerial Covenant Health employees who excel based on the company’s standards of performance. An unbiased team of judges scores each entry and selects three top annual winners. The 2012 top Everest winners are: Kelly Johnson of Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center, Becky Boyd of Parkwest Medical Center and Dennis Woods of LeConte Medical Center. Kelly Johnson is a longtime respiratory therapist at Fort Sanders. She is
highly respected by physicians and staff for her expertise and work ethic. Kelly is an instrumental part of the team that has reduced ventilator-associated pneumonia in critical care patients in the hospital. She works diligently to help Fort Sanders’ Respiratory Therapy department identify ways to reduce expenses. Kelly is responsible for producing the annual Will Rogers Respiratory Therapy Critical Care Seminar, which is now in its 11th
year and is attended by 300 people each year. Kelly is also involved in the community, volunteering with a sports league and summer camp for special needs children. She supports and exhibits the high standards and excellence of Fort Sanders Regional and Covenant Health system.

“There are so many good rescue groups in the area, and we are Blount County’s only spay/neuter clinic,” said Ann Contole, director. There are several animals still in the care of AnimalWorks, but any additional animals brought to the facility in need of shelter will be taken to a rescue group or animal shelter. Contole stresses the importance of controlling the animal population for a number of reasons. Domesticated animals are in danger of contracting diseases from animals that are not vaccinated, and allowing animals to suffer without shelter or care is inhumane. The most important role you can have in helping the situation is having your pets altered (spayed or neutered). This is a responsibility you accept as a pet owner the moment you bring an animal home.

Going native A Shopper-News Special Section
By Shannon Carey
S
tep into Mark Campen’s native wetland garden in Fountain City, and it’s hard to believe that busy Adair Drive is just a stone’s throw away. Campen, a naturalist and Knoxville City Council member, started the natural area as a labor of love shortly after he and his wife bought the house in 2005. With a creek running at the front of his yard along Adair Drive, the spot made a perfect place for a wetland. Now, the area sports native plants of all kinds. Birds, honeybees, butterflies and even foxes are frequent visitors. Campen is putting in trails among the silky dogwood, blue labilia, native irises and river oats. There is even a sapling oak tree that Campen says “came up out of the ground of its own volition.” So, how can lovers of wild places bring a native landscape home? Campen, who loves “spreading the good news of native landscaping” has some advice.
A honeybee sips the last nectar of the season from native aster in Mark Campen’s wetland garden. ■ Have a plan. The early phases of natural landscaping can look a lot like an unkempt lawn. Having a landscaping plan can help show others that you’re not neglecting your yard.
■ Talk to your neighbors. “Tell them your ideas and what you’re doing,” says Campen. ■ Know your soil. While Campen said he hasn’t gone as far as soil tests for his wetland, he has knowledge of soil moisture levels and sunlight in his yard and plants accordingly. ■ Remove invasive species. Exotic, invasive plants like privet, mimosa and fescue can choke out native plants. Campen says it takes time to remove them, pulling them by hand, digging them up or smothering them with cloth or newspaper. “But understand that you’ll never eradicate them completely,” he said. Invasive species removal can have some surprising results. After Campen removed privet in the woodland behind his home, a lovely Christmas fern sprang up! ■ Let it grow! Campen’s first step toward a native landscape was to let his lawn grow and “see what was in the seedbank.” The first thing that came up was an astonishing crop of Blackeyed Susans. Once he saw what was

already in the soil, he could make plans for more plantings. While creating a native landscape is more intensive on the front end, Campen said it does not require the water and long-term maintenance that a traditional lawn does. Campen calls the land-
scape “diverse and pretty,” and enjoys the educational opportunities it affords his family. “I’ve done this because I really enjoy the insects and butterflies and birds that like this,” he said. “To me, it’s just enjoyable. I spend a lot of time out here.”

Big style on a little budget By W B Wendy d Smith S ith It’s easy to think of interior design as a luxury relegated to times of plenty. But creating a fresh look doesn’t necessarily require a fat purse. Good design can, in fact, help families feel more content with less stuff, says Knoxville designer Toria Boyd. “It’s cheaper than buying a new house. You fall in love with your house all over again.” Boyd is a freelance designer who learned her craft from her mother. Over the past few years, her clients are choosing to repurpose décor rather than purchase rooms of new furniture, she says. Inexpensive ways to freshen a home include a lighter shade of paint on the walls, a few new accessories in a light color or reupholstering a favorite piece of
f it S thi furniture. Something as simple as removing a tired piece from a room can make a difference. “ ‘Editing’ is a word I like to use,” she says. “Just change things. Rearrange things. Move things from one room to another. Take everything out of a bookcase and put things back in a different spot. Group things together. It’s all about making what you have special again.” When it comes to new purchases, it’s more economical in the long run to shop with your heart, Boyd says. “Buy what you really love. Buy it instead of making do with something just because it’s less expensive.” But shopping with your heart doesn’t mean buying the first thing you see. Don’t be impulsive, she says.
ll my clients, li t it’ “I ttell it’s a marathon, not a sprint. Decorating should be fun, not stressful.” The biggest challenge most clients face is organization. Boyd even struggles with it herself. The answer is simple, but putting it into practice is difficult. “Everything needs a place. If it doesn’t have a place, you might not need it. Clutter adds stress.” One tip Boyd offers for reducing stress is to de-clutter a home’s point of entry. For most people, that’s a garage or a mudroom. If that area is chaotic, that’s the feeling you bring into your house, she says. She also has a suggestion for minimizing the stress associated with decorating for the holidays: plan ahead. Tablescapes are easily transi-

She likes to decorate with natural elements, like reeds or branches, that are easily changed with the addition of greenery or simple glass ornaments. Whether you hire a design-
er or tackle your own project, it’s important to keep in mind that your home should reflect your own personality, rather than someone else’s. “You’ve got to think for yourself. It needs to look like you.” As a designer, Boyd loves to embrace the personal style
of each client. It’s like being a part of someone else’s world, she says. “I enjoy my work because I get to know so many people. I learn something new from each client. Then we get to be friends and swap recipes.” For more information: toriaboyd@ comcast.net.

Home renovations before the holidays Fall is a great time to tackle some of those home improvement projects. Now that the summer vacations are over and children are back in school, you’re ready to make your home all comfy and cozy before the deep freeze and holiday guests arrive. Consider starting with your bathroom first, since this is a room frequently used both by your family and guests. If your bathroom is dated in decor, aged in function and behind the times in energy efficiency, you’ll be doing your home and your pocketbook a good service by upgrading some features. Here’s how: Beautiful visuals: The bathroom vanity is the first feature in the room people will see. Incorporate a contemporary new look in your bath that will earn admiring glances from your guests with TOTO’s Maris Semi-Recessed Vessel Lavatory. With a sleek design and deep basin, this semi-recessed lavatory has a nano-technology glaze applied that helps prevent bacteria and soap debris from sticking to its surfaces. Because of this, you’ll use fewer harsh chemicals to keep the sink
clean, which saves you money and is better for the environment. Pair the lavatory with the Aquia Single Handle Faucet from TOTO for a seamless and stylish finish. This highefficiency faucet is made from solid brass and is WaterSense approved.
Efficient New linens: A quick and simple upgrade for commodes: your bathroom includes replacing towels and
Warmer flooring: There’s nothing worse than bare feet on a cold floor - especially in the morning. Tile flooring looks beautiful in bathrooms, but can leave the feet feeling a bit chilled. Place a soft and decorative rug in front of the sink, the shower and the toilet to help alleviate cold toes. Look for rugs that match the color and decor of the room. Or use the rugs as an accent color to brighten up the space.
Up g r a d i n g your toilet to a high-efficiency unit will make a noticeable difference on your water bill. Consider the Universal Design Maris DualFlush Toilet from TOTO, which has clean, contemporary lines, a recessed-curve tank, and skirted design that saves on cleaning time. Its state-of-the-art, gravity-fed flushing system puts an end to a common complaint many dual flush toilet owners have - flush ‘n brush, the need to brush the bowl to remove streaking after every solid stop.
the shower curtain. To introduce a calm and restful spa-like ambiance, find new linens in colors that blend with the colors on the walls. Or go bold with vibrant accents and splashes of color to give your room a sense of energy. Elegant tiling: Prefab showers are easy and convenient, but they can look aged and stained after long use. To really spruce up the look of your shower area in the bathroom, consider tiling the surround, or installing large glass pieces painted to match the color of the room. You’ll be amazed at how beautiful the shower will appear, and you may decide that you won’t want to hang a curtain to block the view of the beautiful surround, and instead opt for a sliding glass door. Once you see how beautiful your renovated bathroom appears, you’ll probably want to get started sprucing up the rest of your house. In the meantime, enjoy the bathroom, as well as the compliments you’ll receive from your visiting guests. – ARA

Halloween decor - more treat than trick While displaying ghosts and goblins is great for the kids and the standard for Halloween decor, how about getting into the spirit but with a bit more sophistication this year? If you are throwing a Halloween party for those adults who are kids at heart, a spooky holiday theme can still be part of the festivities, but with a touch of panache. There are many directions you can go with a decoration theme. Certainly there are the colors of black and orange that can be integrated into the decor and the use of pumpkins or candles, which still scream Halloween but can be displayed elegantly. Gary LaVasser, academic director in Set & Exhibit Design at The Art Institute of California Hollywood, a campus of Argosy University, says that while everyone thinks of orange and black, consider the combination of dark
red and black. At Halloween, any time black is used it represents scariness and the dark red can be symbolic of blood. For a more sophisticated look, combine dark red arrangements of roses, cover them in black hat veiling so that you see the roses through the veil and tie them together with black satin ribbon, he suggests. If you want to go a little further, place the arrangement on an inexpensive black placemat and drip dark red nail polish from a few rose petals onto the placemat. It will look like the roses are bleeding. LaVasser also has these tips for alternative but sophisticated Halloween decor: ■ Use vintage Halloween toys frm the 1930s, 40s or 50s as part of the design. If they are worn they have more character. Combine them with garlands of silk fall leaves available at most craft
stores, tree branches or wheat and place on mantels or dining tables. ■ Paint objects black that normally are not this color. For example, jack-o-lanterns are orange so spray them black for a twist on a familiar item. Also consider painting real flowers black. To make objects more interesting, select different black textures such as using matte, glitter, satin, gloss or metallic paints. ■ The colors of fall are rich earth tones and these colors also associate with Halloween. Add a little punch by using a deep purple color. It can be an interesting contrast to oranges and gold tones. Also consider using metallic gold, copper and pewter colors. You can paint leaves or pumpkins with these shades as well. LaVasser adds that one can look for inspiration among different cultures and how they celebrate certain holidays or Hal-
loween. A Latino tradition is Day of the Dead, observed on November 1st and 2nd, which celebrates family and friends who have passed. Day of the Dead decor includes folk art, candles, color-
ful flowers and bright ribbons together with skeletons, says LaVasser. This theme offers great options for Halloween. – ARA
