Down on the farm By Greg Householder A few years ago, Robert and Carrie Giles of Clinton visited a corn maze. After the visit, it became a dream for the both of them to one day have their own, but they lacked the right land. Last year, they went in with friends whose family owned the perfect spot at 1331 W. Beaver Creek Drive in Powell, the former John Rogers Farm. Rogers was the father of Beverly Rogers Monroe – a friend of the Gileses. The Life Down on the Farm Corn Maze was born. Last year’s maze had one corn box (a large area of corn kernels like a sandbox that kids play in), a five-acre corn maze, pony rides, a pumpkin patch, hay rides, inflatables and a critter corner. New this year is a jump pillow – a large air-filled pillow that kids and adults can jump on – in place of the inflatables. Owners added two corn boxes, miniature horse and mule-pulled buggy rides for the kids, a rubber duck race, a cow-milking station sans cow with a wooden cutout with simulated udders instead and numerous animals including a sow with her piglets. “We always farmed and wanted for kids to see what it is like on the farm,” says Robert Giles. “This is just our way of giving back to the kids.” No one will be afraid at the Life Down on the Farm maze because there are no haunted or horror themes. “We tried that for one day last year – it didn’t work,” says Giles. The Gileses and friends are partnering with MERLE-FM to present this year’s maze. And it’s a lot of work. “The hardest thing about doing this is timing everything to happen at the right time,” says Giles. He mentioned the sow with her piglets this year – he actually has two sows and when breeding them earlier this year he tried to time it. One of the sows took the

breeding a bit early and her piglets are now too large to play with the kids, where the other took it later and the piglets are the perfect size now. Robert also plants his corn for the corn maze later than most farmers so it is still green when the maze is opened. The maze has been open since Sept. 29 and will run through Halloween night (Oct. 31). The maze is open – weather permitting – from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. Thursdays through Saturdays and 1-6 p.m. on Sundays. General admission is $11 (kids 2 and under are free) and the pumpkin patch admission is $8 which includes a pumpkin. Both general admission and the pumpkin patch is $15. A season pass is available $25 but does not include a pumpkin. Kids 12 and under may dress up and trick or treat from 5-9 p.m. on Oct. 28 and Oct. 29.

Smith said he favors the plan which adds Powell to his district and believes that today’s public hearing will sharpen the issue. Plans 1A, 3A and 4A move Powell from the 6th Commission district to the 7th. Shannondale would move from the 7th District to the 2nd District under plan 4A. Second District Commissioner Amy Broyles said “about 80 percent” of the redistricting committee members favored plan 2A with 4A the second choice. “One moves more into Fountain City and one more into Norwood,” she added, saying she would be content with either.

Connor Road bridge project returns A project that first came to County Commission’s attention in 2007 is finally set to get underway. The onelane bridge on Connor Road over Bull Run Creek will be replaced at a cost of about $750,000. The state will provide 80 percent of the funding and Knox County will foot the remainder. Jim Snowden of Knox County Engineering and Public Works said the project has been in the system for more than two years. “We are just now seeing right of way acquisition,” Snowden said. “By this time next year the bridge will probably be complete.” The contract with the Tennessee Department of Transportation calls for Knox County to complete work by Dec. 31, 2012. – Larry Van Guilder

At the pre-ride breakfast at Bojangles, Phil Moore, one of the newest ministry riders, had to prove to a doubting Don Wadley that he – Moore – was indeed a celebrity by pointing to the shrine in his honor at Bojangles.

At 6-foot-2, weighing more than 200 pounds and being a former Ranger in the Army, I never gave the concept of self-defense much thought. But I wouldn’t want to tangle with Toni McSor-

ley. You see, Toni fights dirty – what with kicks and punches to places generally considered of f-limits and her use McSorley of that horrible little club she carries on her key chain. And that alleged “allergy” to wasps she claims to have – yeah right. It requires her to carry around wasp spray capable of zapping you in the face at 30 feet which would be no fun to deal with either. Toni, the director of Self Defense of Knoxville, was the guest speaker at the Powell Business and Professional Association’s monthly meeting last Tuesday and she gave some valuable self-defense tips to not just the ladies, but the gents on hand as well. Her EZ Defense method is easy to learn and works for kids as well. To check her out, call her at 310-3317 or visit www. s e l fde fe n s e of k nox v i l le . com.

Scarecrows in the Park

Powell Florist to change hands By Greg Householder For the folks in Powell, a 22-year era is coming to an end and another one is beginning. Walta Patt, owner of Powell Florist, announced during her Business Spotlight segment at last Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Powell Business and Professional Association meeting that she was selling the business to Jeff and Lori Petree. During her five-minute spotlight segment, Patt told the group of her years with the company and talked about the flowers, gift baskets, fruit and gourmet baskets, and spices offered by Powell Florist. Though she is giving up day-to-day operation of Powell Florist, Patt assured the group that she was still going to be helping out in the business.

Picnic in the park “Where else would you rather be on a gorgeous weekend?” Gov. Bill Haslam asked attendees of the Legacy Parks Foundation luncheon in South Knoxville on Friday.

Madison Williams Gov. Bill Haslam

Hope for the term limited Last week, while in the process of putting together a story on the redistricting plans, I chanced upon vital information that until now had somehow eluded me (and a lot of others, as you’ll see). This is how it happened. I’m using pseudonyms to protect the guilty. Commissioner X: That plan moves Commissioner Y out of his district, but that means he’ll get to serve (if elected) two additional terms. Me: Uh, right. I’ll admit I was skeptical. Could such transparent if unintended chicanery be the answer to skirting those hated term limits? I consulted the Charter and could not find evidence to refute Commissioner X’s bold stratagem. Perhaps we were on to something that even former Mayor Mike Ragsdale’s wily staff had overlooked. So, I tried (OK, not very hard) to solicit the opinion of the county’s former CEO. If Commissioner X was right, it might not be too late for Ragsdale to move to Blount County (clearly out of his “district”), hire a good attorney to plead his case and demand a special election in a bid for a third term as Knox County Mayor. Mind you, I was not motivated by any ill feelings toward the current mayor. Mine was the same curiosity that inspired scientists to ask why the blowfish blows and the glowworm glows. I saw this as a grand experiment in political science. Sadly, I was unable to track down our former mayor, who may or may not be in Kosovo cutting trade deals for electrical supplies. Still, the possibilities opened up by Commissioner X’s insight were dazzling. Just by moving in some cases a few blocks down the road, former commissioners who thought their day in the sun had ended could have hung on indefinitely. Would this have violated the spirit of the law if not the intent? Let’s be honest – most wouldn’t be bothered. With the notable exception of Madeline Rogero, Bee DeSelm and yes, Ragsdale a few years back who term limited themselves off County Commission when not required to do so, politicians who wouldn’t slip through a loophole to stay in office are unknown in these parts. There’s no need to restrict innovative thinking to County Commission seats. Besides commissioners and the county mayor, from time to time we elect a trustee, a county clerk, a property assessor, a register of deeds, a sheriff, a circuit court clerk, a criminal court clerk, a law director, an attorney general, assorted judges and a partridge in a pear tree, the last only in odd-numbered years. These folks don’t represent “districts,” but – stay with me – what if they banded together and decided that term limits need not be a problem. What if they formed an organization so strong that it was a near certainty one of their numbers would always hold office in Knox County? This group could seize and hold on to power year after year, constantly reinforcing itself by limiting access to elected office to one of their own. Brilliant! What? They’re already here? And they’re called what? Oh, yeah. Republicans.

Haslam, a longtime “supporter, advocate and friend” of Legacy Parks, delivered the keynote speech after Carol Evans, the Foundation’s executive director, spoke about the group’s current initiatives, which include creating Knoxville’s Urban Wilderness – a system of parks, trails, greenways and forests in South Knoxville. In fact, after an uphill bus ride we gathered in the woods near the blue KUB water tower for lunch prepared by Gourmet’s Market. The site, overlooking the Tennessee River, is part of that urban wilderness. The event attracted a who’s who of Knoxville’s business and government leadership. We spotted Phillip Fulmer, Victor Ashe, Cynthia Moxley and Mark Padgett. We sat at the table with Madeline Rogero and

The runoff campaign for mayor is half over which is good news because the discussion to date has been anything but enlightening. Numerous charges and counter charges have emerged. Both Padgett and Rogero are better than their public statements. Padgett has set the agenda so far, although Rogero will likely prevail on Nov. 8. It all started when Padgett won the support of the other mayoral candidates. It is a free country and they have a right to back him or Rogero or stay out of it. Rogero then called the Padgett endorsements a “stunt.” Exercising one’s First Amendment rights is not a stunt. Furthermore, Rogero sought the same endorsements and had she won them, she would have praised each as “able, credible leaders of our community whose support humbles and honors me.” Rogero got bad advice in making this an issue. Her counter news conference gave the endorsements much more circulation and allowed a second news release from Ivan Harmon demanding

Tommy Schumpert. This was an exciting experience for a Shopper intern. Almost overwhelming. Call it whelming. Haslam recalled “new governor’s school” where he met some 30 colleagues. Every one had run and been elected as a “jobs governor.” Haslam realized each was competing to recruit the same businesses to his or her state. “It’s really a competitive field. … You have to make sure that you have infra-

structure and educational opportunities, a skilled workforce … and everything you need to attract jobs,” Haslam said. “But what (decision makers) really want is a place where they can live and build their business. “We’re about creating places where people want to live, and efforts like this (the Legacy Parks Foundation) are critical to achieving what we want to do,” he said. Legacy Parks promotes a healthy lifestyle and it helps

the economy by promoting tourism, Haslam said. He brought along Susan Whitaker, the state’s tourism commissioner. “Legacy Parks Foundation is doing great work,” Haslam continued, “… what they do is pretty unique … it’s a treasure.” Legacy Parks Foundation is a nonprofit organization that works to assure that Knoxville and Knox County have great recreational opportunities and that local natural beauty and open spaces are preserved. The annual $100 per plate fundraiser is its major source of income. “Legacy Parks is helping Knoxville be the type of place where people choose to live, work and raise a family,” said Haslam. “Somewhere along the way, people figured out that this is a great place to live.”

an apology. However, there are issues Rogero could raise about Padgett which are fair and unanswered. These include why more than half of his campaign donations come from outside Knoxville? Why do people in other states want him to be mayor? Why will he not come clean on the details of his business which he cites as a reason to elect him? Where does he stand on tax increases? When he says there is waste in city government, what does he mean? Where is the waste? It may be there, but he should tell us what he means. The media have given Padgett a pass on what really constitutes his company eGovernment Solutions. Only Metro Pulse columnist Joe Sullivan has raised questions about Padgett’s business and Rogero has not picked up on it.

Rogero has not yet put meat on the bones of her campaign proposals. She is for a green city but has not offered proposals on replacing the trees destroyed this spring by storms on city property and medians. She has not told us what she thinks about making the city pension plan financially sounder. She has not told us if city street paving should be increased. Neither has Padgett. Padgett has failed to outline policy positions where he might challenge Rogero. Do they differ on future tax hikes? Do they differ on red light cameras? Do they differ on the Ten Year Homeless Plan? Besides age, gender and background where do they differ on actual policy? Do they differ on homeless housing adjacent to Flenniken School in South Knoxville? It is not negative to raise issues which allow the voters more information on who their next mayor really is. The same goes for council candidates who are often ignored. Notes: Monday, Oct. 3, was the 220th birthday

of the city of Knoxville. Unfortunately, this day passed unnoticed and not observed at the city. The 200th birthday of Knoxville was celebrated the entire year of 1991 led by Sue Clancy and Roseanne Wolf. Of course the 225th birthday arrives in 2016 which is two mayoral terms from now. However, the next mayor should/could name a task force to determine the best way to observe that milestone which he/ she can preside over should he/she win a second term. Marilyn Roddy had to be disappointed in her weak showing in her home precinct of Sequoyah Hills where she got only 51 percent of the vote for state Senator and tied Becky Massey on election day 219 to 219. But she can be pleased with running well in Fountain City where she tied Massey at Gresham School (169 to 169) and lost Shannondale School by only four votes. Overall, Massey was a substantial winner and is the favorite in the Nov. 8 general election against Gloria Johnson who has not lived in the district.

Paradise, Hawaiian style PULL UP A CHAIR … | Jake Mabe PU

onolulu, Hawaii – What to say about a perfect trip to paradise? Amazing. Awesome. Incredible. Bluest water you’ve ever seen. Stunning rainbows. Scrumptious food. And none of that does Hawaii justice. Put it on your bucket list. If you can, go. If you can, go tomorrow. And go to Maui. Oh, yeah, you’ve got to see Honolulu, and we’ll get to that in a minute. But, spend some time on Maui. It’s ever so much the laid-back, tropical paradise you picture in your mind the minute somebody says “Hawaii.” We stayed just northwest of Lahaina on the western shore. And, if you look around a bit, or go off-season, you don’t have to break the bank to do it. Our condominium resort sported an oceanfront view, sea turtles swimming in the surf and the best sunsets you’ll ever see, all for about $135 a night. Heck, I’ve paid more than that in Milwaukee. And if you go, you have to eat at Mama’s Fish House in Paia. Two words: Mai Tai. Be prepared to take out a second mortgage on your home when you get the check. But, the view alone is worth it. And the fish is out

of this world. It’s so fresh they even put the names of the guys who caught them right on the menu. Oh, I almost forgot to tell you: After lunch at Mama’s, we window shopped in Paia. In a little antique shop, I found (of all things) a knife for sale from the 1982 World’s Fair. Ain’t kiddin’. Do the helicopter tour if you must (we did; it was great), but definitely take a boat ride. And take one through Safari Boat Excursions and spend a few hours with Crazy Dave. Crazy Dave earned his nickname. He was fired from virtually every other outfit in Lahaina for taking visitors places he wasn’t supposed to go. He finally said to heck with it and bought his own boat. We went on an eight-hour excursion around Lanai. We saw jumping dolphins, snorkeled with exotic fish, watched Dave ease his boat into a cave, and even spotted Molokai’s leper colony and the Ritz-Carlton villa where Bill and Melinda Gates were wed. We had partnered up with Jen and Deb, two Australian natives who were staying at our condo resort, and had lots of laughs. Find out more at http:// www.safariboatexcursions. com/. After six nights in paradise, we reluctantly left Eden for Honolulu. The package I’d negotiated on Priceline.com included an island hop in a Light Cessna. I’d been tipped

Inside the visitor’s center was a framed photograph of Ellison Onizuka, the Hawaiian-born astronaut who was killed in the 1986 Challenger space shuttle disaster. Every American should see the Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor at least once, “just to remember,” as my friend Roy Arthur says. Yes, that oil is still bubbling to the surface, 70 years later. Yes, I got chills. It irked me that so many tourists of all nationalities treated Pearl Harbor as if it were just another tourist stop. Most everyone – I’d like to think it was the majority – was silent or reverent or respectful. But others paused for photos with wide grins on their faces. For goodness sakes, this is a burial ground!

Such things make me understand God as a God who loves the world and woos it unto Himself. Or God as a bowerbird who decorates his nest with bright, shiny objects to impress his love. Or God as a kindergartner who paints a picture for her mother and hopes it will be posted on the fridge. Those are flights of fancy, I know. In my more serious moments, I know in my heart that God creates beauty for the sheer joy of it, because God is God, and because God is good, and because God loves to show us the wonders of this glorious, astounding, glowing, golden universe.

PMS chorus presents â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Fall Showcaseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; By Greg Householder The Powell Middle School choral department showed off its talent last Tuesday with its Fall Showcase. The Panther Company started things off with the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Star Spangled Banner.â&#x20AC;? The 6th grade chorus performed â&#x20AC;&#x153;Shady Groveâ&#x20AC;? with Jenna Walters accompanying on

the fiddle and Jim Anderson on the piano. The 7th grade chorus performed â&#x20AC;&#x153;American Folk Rhapsodyâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cindy and Simple Giftsâ&#x20AC;? with the ensemble of Antonia Benitez, Tabitha Hurst, Kylie Rimmer, Sarah Rogers, Amber Tinker and Molly Walker. The 8th grade chorus per-

formed â&#x20AC;&#x153;O Brother, Where Art Thou?â&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Keep on the Sunny Sideâ&#x20AC;? with Isamaria Helget and Abby Rase performing solos. The 8th graders closed out the show with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Down to the Riverâ&#x20AC;? with Sara Marlow as the soloist. The PMS chorus is directed by Alison Bradley and The Powell Middle School 6th grade chorus performs â&#x20AC;&#x153;Shady Groveâ&#x20AC;? last Tuesday during the PMS choral departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fall Showcase.

Panther Press comes to Pleasant Ridge By Joe Rector About 30 students at Pleasant Ridge Elementary School are staying after school on Mondays. No, they arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t serving detention or playing sports. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working extra hours to put together the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first newspaper. Kindergarten teacher Stephanie Fleetwood is spearheading the project. As children, she and her friends put together homemade newspapers and magazines. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would love to have had the chance to publish the things I wrote so that more people could have seen them. This will be something that students and their parents can have for years to come.â&#x20AC;? Also helping with the newspaper are Michelle Sudbury and Valerie Gresser. On Mondays the students work on articles that they want to include in the paper. Their topics can cover anything that is of interest to them. That includes school events, trends, popular video games, movies and book reviews, and even comics. Through putting a newspaper together, students can practice and refine their cre-

Students and teachers at Pleasant Ridge Elementary School hold their first meeting to work on articles for the Panther Press.

ative writing skills, learn the writing process and develop team-building skills. The first issue of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Panther Pressâ&#x20AC;? is scheduled for publication around Thanksgiving. The goal is to then put out three more issues by the end of the year. Since the paper is brand new, she says the students and teachers will learn as they go and make changes as necessary. Fleetwood is a graduate of Karns High School and Tennessee Tech University. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in her third year as with Knox County Schools with two years as kindergarten and one as a 1st grade teacher. She began college by majoring in fine arts before realizing that she wanted to

work with children. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am always amazed with the creativity that students bring to any project. Working with them is a wonderful way to make a living,â&#x20AC;? she says. When she finishes a day at school, Fleetwood returns home to spend time with her son, Lucas, 3. Any donations of money or supplies to the newspaper and its staff are welcomed. Interested parties can contact the school office at 594-1354. Soon the Panther Press will be rolling out. Keep an eye out for it and pass along thanks to teachers who give up personal time without any extra pay to help students publish their paper.

Experience and talent: Powell linebackers rack up the hits Panthers’ final regular season game is Friday By Greg Householder “They are the most talent we’ve had in the linebacker corps as a unit in a long time,” says Powell High School head football coach Matt Lowe of his linebackers. They are also an experienced crew led by senior captain Gray Bunch in the middle and seniors Colby Skeen and Dyshawn Mobley holding down the outside. Mobley, who pulls double duty as the Panthers’ premier running back, shares defensive playing time with junior Devin Scott. Bunch has accounted for 26 solo tackles through the Clinton game on Oct. 7. He has 25 assisted tackles and is credited for 51 hits. He has six tackles for loss for a total of 16 yards. He has one sack for 7 yards; a pass interception for 45 yards and

NEWS FROM FAMILY DENTISTRY OF KNOXVILLE

Protect and preserve teeth with preventative care Family Dentistry offers custom fit mouth guards By Anne Hart With football season in full swing in East Tennessee, Dr. Jason Phillips has some great advice for the boys of fall: the most effective athletic mouth guards aren’t the ones you pick up at the school gym. The mouth guards best suited to helping you keep your teeth despite the rough and tumble of the football ﬁeld are the ones your dentist custom ﬁts to your mouth. Dr. Phillips, owner of Family Dentistry of Knoxville, a full-service practice located at 2609 W. Adair Drive in North Knoxville,

is as interested in protecting and preserving the teeth and gums and all around good dental health of the rest of the family as he is those of the football heroes. He is a true family dentist, in the best sense of the words. Starting with pediatric services for very young children and progressing through the teen years into adulthood and on to the needs of seniors, Family Dentistry of Knoxville offers advanced dentistry, including restorative dentistry and cosmetic dentistry, for the whole family – from the youngest to the oldest. “We always want to emphasize preventative care,” Dr. Phillips says. “If we don’t take good care of our teeth throughout our lives,

we can end up spending a whole lot of money as problems arise that could have been prevented with regular check-ups and good oral hygiene. “The goal is to keep our natural teeth. When we start losing them, we lose chewing function and that can affect overall health, even causing anxiety and depression.” Dr. Phillips, who bought the practice of Dr. Stephen Combs, who retired, has outﬁtted his ofﬁces with the very latest technology, including digital X-ray equipment, which emits 80 percent less radiation than traditional X-rays. There are also chair-side monitors where patients can view the X-rays and digital photos of problem areas in the mouth.

Only one missed block Ah yes, Alabama week, once the measuring stick for football men of Tennessee. Jimmy Hahn missed a block in the Tennessee-Alabama game 60 years ago. It made news. Robert R. Neyland reviewed the ﬁlm and covered for his almost perfect head-hunter. “The linebacker was out of position and Hahn couldn’t ﬁnd him.” Then as now, those with the ball dominated headlines. Long runs and touchdowns didn’t fool Neyland. He said one good blocker was worth three ball-carriers. He wrote a margin note in his coaching manual: “Credit blockers for big gains.” The national champion 1951 Volunteers rushed for 3,068 yards. It was a way of life back then. Indeed, tailbacks enjoyed precision

interference. Hahn was the best blocker, best in the SEC. He won the Jacobs Trophy. The recent death of center Bob Davis dusted off memories of his long-ago roommate, an intriguing character, tough 186-pound blocking back, son of a preacher man. Hahn was pivotal in several shenanigans, including a massive panty raid. He found novel ways into and out of trouble. Some stories Bob told. Jimmy added some. He enjoyed college freedom. He de-

veloped a wild reputation for doing crazy things and had to do some more to live up to it. One was taking aim from his dorm window and shooting out a security light near the stadium. Broken glass showered down on a campus patrolman. Spectators, at other windows, cheered. Neyland got the news at breakfast. Did you do it? Yes sir. Why? Hahn came up with a good story. The light was disturbing his sleep, put up with it a long time, finally did something about it. The General warned about the dangers of firing a rifle. He went on to recollections of his military marksmanship and many other adventures at West Point. Hahn said it was fascinating. “After 45 minutes or an hour, he suggested I bring my .22 rifle to his office for safe-

keeping and take it home the next time I went that way.” Davis thought Hahn’s value to the Vols could have been a forgiveness factor for transgressions – like the Walgreens adventure. Hahn liked drug store ice cream. He plotted a night raid. All he had to do was become invisible as the manager took a last look around before turning out the lights. Hahn did it but before his first scoop, he hurried to check the exit. The back door had a push-bar but it was double locked. “I suddenly lost my appetite. I couldn’t find a way out. I finally called Mickey O’Brien (trainer). He called the police. The police called the store manager.” Hahn was ready with a creative explanation. He had been in a phone booth, talking to a girl, when the store went dark. He yelled and yelled. Walgreens’

manager was sorry for the inconvenience. Hahn found a magic way into the team dining area after hours. He took a gallon of peaches, ate far too many and solicited help with leftovers. Peaches became his nickname. Another time, he raided the walk-in freezer. Jim Thompson, manager of the training table, returned unexpectedly, saw light under the door and thought he was being burglarized. He investigated with pistol in hand. “Mr. Jim, Mr. Jim,” exclaimed Hahn. “Don’t shoot me. I’m just having an ice cream.” Hahn didn’t sleep much that night. He knew Thompson would tell Neyland. He didn’t. Teammates liked latenight chili dogs with onions from Smoky Mountain Market. Hahn would walk the railroad bridge across the

Tennessee River as a shortcut to pick up goodies. He was going south when he encountered a northbound train. “It was good that I didn’t have my hands full. I needed both to get under the track and hold on. It would have been bad if I had dropped the hot dogs.” Hahn got serious as an Army ofﬁcer and retired as a colonel. He became a real estate broker. He owned a large farm in Virginia and a vacation home in Germany. He was chaplain for a retired military group. He sang in his church choir. “I came from a religious family. Two grandfathers, my father, my brother and a son were Lutheran ministers. It would not have been acceptable for me to turn out all bad.” Hahn yarns and 200 others are in Marvin West’s first book, “Tales of the Tennessee Vols.” It is available by mail from WESTCOM, P.O. Box 38, Maynardville, TN 37807. The cost is $20.

By Alvin Nance Remember the 1970s – the decade of leisure suits, disco music and Watergate? You have to go that far back to find a time when there was new construction for elderly residents in the Five Points community. I’m glad to report that KCDC is doing its part to fill that need. We’ve nearly completed a $15 million renovation of the former Eastport Elementary School into The Residences at Eastport, an 85-unit residence for Nance low-income adults age 62 and above. We expect residents to start moving in before the end of the year. I’ve received a lot of positive feedback on the project, so I expected a good turnout for our recent open house. I never expected to have a crowd of about 200 people. They were eager to tour a furnished model unit and learn more about the project, which is just a first step in what we plan to be a major revitalization of the entire Five Points community. Those taking tours included potential residents and their family members, residents of other KCDC properties and representatives of organizations who work in Five Points. We even had a former Eastport Elementary teacher in attendance. It was good to hear a lot of positive feedback at the event. These are two of my favorite quotes: “I toured the school with architects before they began, and they said it should be torn down. Boy, were they wrong!” – Art Cate, KCDC Chief Operating Officer. “I’m pleased that we found a way to hold on to the legacy of Eastport School. It will be a real plus for the community.” – Montina Jones, Knox County Schools Senior Advisor, High Needs Schools. We’ll gather at the Residences at Eastport for an official ribbon-cutting ceremony at 1:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 25. Both mayors will be there. I hope you will be, too.

And to assure patient comfort, there is also a TV monitor at every chair. Despite a staff of friendly professionals, if you visit Family Dentistry of Knoxville, expect to be seen by Dr. Phillips himself. He interacts with every patient, no matter what services are being provided. “We want people to feel at home here,” he says. “We want to be sure our patients have a thorough understanding of their treatment, and we never want them to feel rushed.” Family Dentistry, located in the Food City Dr. Jason Phillips with his wife, Kathryn, and their dog, Layla Shopping Center, just off Broadway, is open 8 a.m. FAMILY DENTISTRY to 5 p.m. Monday through 2609 W.
