By Kelly Norrell One of Knoxville’s best-kept secrets, the Knoxville Museum of Art Gift Shop, is no secret to the rest of the world. Most of the shop’s customers are from out of state, said manager and buyer Susan Creswell. Trekking to the shop’s airy corner of the KMA building, 1050 World’s Fair Park Drive, tourists and travelers purchase beautiful hand-blown glassware, distinctive lamps, fiber-arts pieces, handcrafted jewelry and artisan pottery. “People are amazed at what they find here. What they like best

at events such as the shows of the Southern Highlands Craft Guild and the Foothills Craft Guild. Conspicuous in the shop are soaring mobiles ($165 to about $435) by Joel Hotchkiss of Massachusetts; striking, hand-woven outerwear pieces ($85-$385) by Knoxville fiber artist Judi Gaston; and hand-blown lamps ($400) by Tennessee glass artist Curtiss Brock. Brock is head of the Glass Department at the Appalachian Center for Craft at Tennessee Technological University. Glass is the shop’s top-selling item, Creswell said, maybe be-

cause of its many forms and prices. You can buy exquisite, blownglass balls (“planets�) and other pieces ($80 to $5,000) by celebrated Massachusetts glass artist Josh Simpson, who recently exhibited at the museum. But you can also purchase whimsical glass birds, butterflies and wind chimes ($10$25) and tempered-glass cutting boards ($45-$65) by Susan Watson Arbital of Knoxville. Peter Alcott of Sevierville offers stunning fused-glass platters ($90-$350).

An online mapping application has been created to show the 180 projects that were submitted; it allows users to select a project to learn about the details, requested and proposed funding amounts and project schedule. The comment period ends Aug. 31. Local projects include multiple improvements to Alcoa Highway and Chapman Highway; one at Gov. John Sevier Highway; and another for the South Waterfront.

By Sandra Clark South Knoxville’s IC King Park was one of two local parks selected for grants from the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation. Gov. Bill Haslam and TDEC Commissioner Bob Martineau announced grants totaling more than $17 million. “These grants are very competitive so I applaud our local officials for their hard work on behalf of their communities,� Haslam said. TDEC will award $15.8 million in Local Park and Recreation grants to 55 different communities, as well as $1.9 million in Recreational Trails Program grants for a total of 12 parks and communities across Tennessee.In Knox County, a $500,000 grant was awarded to the town of Farragut for renovation of athletic fields, a restroom and construction of parking. Knox County Parks and Recreation got a $500,000 grant for the IC King Park.

It will be used for a picnic shelter, dog park, playground, restrooms, parking and new trail access. Both grants require a 50 percent match by the recipient. Speaking to the Council of West Knox County Homeowners last week, Doug Bataille, the county’s senior director of Parks and Recreation, said IC King Park is near the top of the county’s list for improvements. Doug Bataille “We recently added 70 acres on the back of the park, along Maryville Pike,� he said. Plans call for a new entrance (the park is currently accessed from Alcoa Highway). A questioner asked if there will still be a boat ramp. “Yes,� said Bataille, but he did not comment on its location pending a design study.

Bataille hopes to build three more miles of trail within the next two years. The park currently contains eight miles of multi-use trails. “Skirting the shoreline of Knob Creek, an inlet of the Tennessee River, and winding through heavily forested woods, these easy-tomoderate trails are a local favorite for hikers, trail runners and mountain bikers. “The shoreline and main trails are fairly low in elevation change, but the trails that climb to the ridge are more strenuous with steep descents,� according to a brochure that Bataille distributed to the group. He listed construction of the Mead’s Quarry restrooms as the No. 1 item on his list of achievements for the fiscal year just ended. Bataille’s department juggles limited funds for projects all over the county. “He does a fantastic job,� said County Commissioner Ed Brantley.

New steps on a continuing journey Guillain-Barré patient works toward full recovery with the help of PNRC Although it’s been more than two years since Melanie Kyte, now 32, was stricken with the neurological disorder GuillainBarré Syndrome (GBS), she has not stopped working toward her goal of full recovery. GBS is a rare autoimmune disorder in which the immune system attacks the myelin coating around nerves, causing weakness, pain and sometimes paralysis. Kyte’s was an especially severe version of GBS, which left her almost completely paralyzed in the spring of 2014, at the age of 29. Unable at first to walk, talk or even feed herself, today Kyte has gained back all of that and more with help from therapists at Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center. After the onset of GBS, Kyte spent seven months at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center and six months at Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center. “While I was in Fort Sanders, they told me that if anyone could help you, it’s Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center,” said Kyte. “So I lived there for six months. They’ve really worked hard with me. I’ve had the same physical therapist, Tricia, (Erpelding), for the most part. But everybody’s always helping you, coming up with new ideas. They want to see people get better. I feel like I’ve got a bunch of cheerleaders over there,” she said. After discharge, Kyte continued physical therapy on an outpatient basis, at first twice a week and now once a week. Today the main focus is Kyte’s feet, which still have tingling and numbness from GBS. “It feels like they’re asleep and are waking up,” said Kyte, as Erpelding rubbed an ultrasound therapy wand over the soles of Kyte’s feet and the sides

ness when I got sick, so I changed it and went a different route. Now I’m doing psychology, with a concentration in counseling and a minor in sociology. “Maryville College is small, and that’s easier because I don’t have to walk as far to class,” she said. Kyte can also now hold and play with Hadley, her daughter, who was only a year old when Kyte got sick. “Now she’s three, so she’s either extremely friendly, sweet and kind, or having a tantrum,” Kyte said. “But she helps me, too – she’ll get things I can’t reach.” Kyte said she would recommend Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center to anyone facing a life-changing neurological illness. In addition to her physical recovery, Kyte said she has made friends with other patients at the center.

Melanie works with one of her “cheerleaders”, PNRC therapist Tricia Erpelding, to regain her strength after suffering from Guillain-Barré.

Ultrasound waves penetrate deep into Melanie’s feet to relax her muscles, improving circulation and flexibility.

of her ankles. Ultrasound waves penetrate deep into the muscle and ligaments, to warm, relax and soften them. This improves circulation and aids in flexibility. “If you don’t have strength in the muscles, different areas of the body can get stiff and tight,” said Erpelding, as she stretched Kyte’s feet upward. “My feet are stiffening up and are turning in a little bit – we’re

trying to straighten them out,” said Kyte. “I wear an ankle brace on the right and a whole leg brace on the left. We’re trying to get that off, and only have an ankle brace. I do a lot of quad exercises, hamstrings, squats and stair exercises.” Despite her great progress, Kyte has restructured her entire life around the effects of GBS. No longer able to work in her former job at Starbucks, Kyte headed

back to school at Maryville College in the fall of 2015 with help from the Blount County Vocational Rehabilitation Center. “They work with people in the area who are on disability,” said Kyte. “They’re paying for me to go back to school, and after that the plan is to get a job. I already had an associate’s degree in busi-

Patricia Neal Golf Classic tees Generous corporate leaders, golf enthusiasts and Tennessee golf professionals will hit the links at Holston Hills Country Club in Knoxville on Monday, August 22, to support a great cause – the Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center (PNRC). The 32nd annual Patricia Neal Golf Classic is presented by Regal Entertainment Group. The TPGA professionals tournament is sponsored by Morrison Healthcare Food Services. Other major sponsors include Humana, Pilot Flying J and BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee. Tournament proceeds support patient care at the Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center at Fort Sanders Regional, which helps thousands of people rebuild their lives after traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries, strokes and other debilitating illnesses and accidents. In the past 31 years, this tournament has raised over $5 million to support the excellent care provided at the center, making

it one of the most successful one-day charity events in the state. “The time, talent and resources our sponsors and volunteers give in support of the Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center make an amazing impact,” says Rocky Goode, tournament chair. “We are truly blessed to have such top-notch rehabilitative care right here in Knoxville.” Tournament Director Misty Brown agrees. “Our sponsors make this event a success, and we wouldn’t have their support without the hard work of our tournament leadership committee. The

“People with disabilities don’t always get out. You get used to being home a lot,” said Kyte. “So the center holds get-togethers once a month, and I try to participate in those. We go to ball games and just do things with other people with disabilities, so you get out. “When you become disabled, you have to relearn everything in life. It’s just a lot different,” she said. “I have no complaints – everybody at Patricia Neal has been perfect.”

off August 22 businesses of this community see the importance of the care the center provides and are key to its continuing work for patients in need.” A limited number of sponsorships are still available. For more information, call 865-531-5210 or visit patneal.org/classic.

Peterson looks at Confederate leadership By Sandra Clark Dennis Peterson, a former Knox County resident and graduate of Bob Jones University, has released his newest book, a look at the civilian leadership of the Confederacy. “Confederate Cabinet Departments and Secretaries� was published by McFarland & Co. Peterson, who now lives in Taylors, S.C., credits three former teachers for sparking his love of history: Hubert Lakin, Paul Williams and Richard Booher. When Dennis and wife Connie moved to South Carolina, they were amazed at the number of Vol fans. “We saw orange everywhere,� he says. Then they realized that Clemson fans wear orange, too. Connie is an elementaryschool teacher, while Dennis has taught history in middle and high school. The couple have four daughters and five grandchildren – with a sixth due in December. Peterson says his favorite authors are Jesse Stuart (for his encouragement of the love of teaching and learning) and David McCullough (for his skill at making history interesting for everyone, not just historians). A firm believer that reading is the key to learning, Peterson quotes Ronald Reagan: “You can never be lonely if you have a good book.� While thousands of books have been written about every aspect of the War Between the States, scant attention has been given to the civilian government of the Confederacy, he

Dennis Peterson

says. “The most recent book on the subject was published more than 70 years ago, and what little has been written since is scattered among various journals and magazines and is not easily accessible in one place.â€? So his book examines each of the Confederacy’s six executive departments and provides biographical sketches of each man who held a position in Jefferson Davis’ cabinet. Peterson likes Davis less as a result of his research, calling his cabinet a revolving door. “I was amazed by how quickly the Confederacy was able to put together a functioning government and how long it lasted given the long odds and difficulties it faced. ‌ “(But) in essentially a four-year life, the cabinet went through more than 15 different secretaries, especially in the War Department. Some secretaries lasted only a few months.â€? Peterson found men who were hard to like.

“Almost all of the secretaries had objectionable qualities: egotism, tempers, impatience. I actually came away from my research liking Jefferson Davis less and less. Despite his many good qualities, he was a terrible delegator because he couldn’t keep his hands off once he gave a man a job to do. “He was an inveterate meddler.� Dr. Carl Abrams of the Bob Jones University history faculty inspired his work. Peterson said that when his work schedule didn’t permit him to take Abrams’ class

Football simplicity: Logic and numbers Bob Shoop earned a degree in economics from Yale. It was based on logic and numbers. Shoop understands logic and numbers and even value added. His contract at Tennessee calls for an annual salary of $1.15 million plus perks. Shoop grasps other interesting issues based on logic and Bob Shoop numbers that apply to his career as a defensive coordinator. If he dispatches more hardcharging Volunteers than an

Marvin West

offense can block, the quarterback may feel tension. He may blink. He may be forced to flee or go down in a heap. Quarterbacks under duress seldom complete lofty percentages. Some throw more interceptions than touchdown passes. It has been said that pressure may even neutralize exceptional ability. Sacks and tackles for losses have been known to

win games. Considering the upfront numbers (wow, 1.15 mil), Bob Shoop is the man charged with making a difference at Tennessee. That, too, is a matter of numbers, growing from nine victories to 11 or 12, ideally changing from challenger to champ. With Butch Jones’ old friend John Jancek as defensive coordinator, the Vols of the past three seasons were much better than during the dark days of Derek Dooley. There was little resemblance between Jancek defenses and whatever that was Sal Sunseri directed in 2012. That was the year opponents broke historic records and

scored 43 out of 47 penetrations into the red zone. Amazing. The Jancek format was designed to not lose games. His defenses were an immediate improvement. The net result was middle-ofthe-pack good, 47th nationally against the pass, 45th against the run. Alas, they were not good enough often enough. Think Florida, fourth quarter. Last season was perfect for comparisons. There were very few pivotal plays on defense, only one defensive touchdown, the Evan Berry pass pick and run at the end of the bowl game. Tennessee’s fourth intercep-

tion that day raised the total to 12 for the year. Arkansas State had 26. Tennessee recovered seven fumbles in 2015. Navy and Virginia Tech had 15 each. Four sacks against Northwestern gave the Vols a respectable 30 for the year. Aggressive Alabama had 53. Everybody knows defense can decide games, one way or the other. Shoop believes defense can win games. He teaches a different, more daring concept. He sees takeaways as vital. He is willing to take the risk of “going for it� rather than playing cautiously in something called “prevent.� Shoop has said “there’s nothing better than getting after people, attacking, being aggressive in everything you

Northeast Economic Summit: Getting Have you ever wondered what we might achieve if we better market ourselves and our unique north and east neighborhoods? We have great people. And great neighborhoods. What would it take for business startups and entrepreneurs and commercial developers to pay closer attention to our community? Stated differently, must a successful business revolve solely around the relative wealth of its patrons (the Turkey Creek syndrome), or does establishing one’s presence in a community of good people and building strong customer relationships matter more in the longer run? We have a lot to offer. Over 48,000 people live in the northeast quadrant of the city, according to the 2010 census. If you expand that census snapshot to people who live within a 15-minute drive of the East

Nick Della Volpe

Towne shopping district (note: business district imports more than just the mall) there are over 110,000 residents. That same census reports the northeast county is growing by some 30 percent. Moreover, we are bordered by rural counties to the north and east – with people who, of necessity, travel to Knoxville to shop. We can be their outpost. Even now, before we make our “marketing� pitch, there are nearly 100 businesses located along Washington and Millertown pikes, both inside and outside the mall. We have big boxes like Lowe’s and

Home Depot, Sam’s Club and Walmart, Target, as well as Sears, Kohl’s, Belk and JCPenney inside. There are dozens of smaller, local businesses like restaurants, theaters and convenience and grocery stores. But there is also a need for closer-in neighborhood stores that bring convenience and choice to our smaller, interconnected neighborhoods. Truth is, most of us would like to patronize a healthier downtown Burlington, a rejuvenated lower Broadway or Central Avenue, or a revitalized Magnolia corridor or Washington Pike, to name just a few places. There is pride of place amidst great neighborhoods and good people all over this northeast marketplace. The Northeast Economic Summit is building steam toward a late-September or early-October launch. The date is not set yet, but the

goal is to get neighborhoods and businesses interacting directly. We are still doing our homework, of course. Facts matter. We have been gathering data like traffic counts, population size, age and income with help from the Metropolitan Planning Commission and other data from the Tennessee Department of Transportation, business and professional organizations and even the Knoxville Police Department to provide the real skinny on crime – facts, not just the cloud of misperception. But make no mistake, your neighborhood’s participation is essential. The initial survey results and your direct comments in person will help us express our wants and needs to the business community and help create opportunities for our area. So, while MPC is compiling demographic info and maps, TDOT posting traf-

do, an in-your-face style.� He speaks of passion and toughness and disruptive dominance. He says Vol pass defenders will challenge every route. So it was when Shoop coached at Vanderbilt for three seasons. I took another look at the video. There was one Dooley win in overtime followed by one lopsided loss and the infamous kneel-down to avoid additional embarrassment for the orange team. Jones suffered a setback in his first try. I turned off the horror show with the thought that if Shoop could do that with Commodores, he might help win the world with Volunteers. Marvin West invites reader reaction.

Reasons for Martin Daniel’s win

State Rep. Martin Daniel surprised most observers with his strong win for renomination in the GOP primary last week. He more than doubled his victory margin from two years ago. Despite misMartin Daniel steps over the past four months which generated countless stories, he prevailed. Why? First, his major opponent, former state Rep. Steve Hall, whom he had ousted in 2014, was back again, and few people wanted him back. Hall had little electoral appeal. Second, the next major opponent, James Corcoran, came on strong toward the end of the campaign but lacked funding early on to advertise his candidacy. Had the small but wealthy group backing Hall placed their money on Corcoran instead, he might have pulled it off. Corcoran made a favorable impression. He was calm and reasonable. He was weakened by only pushing one issue, and his political instincts were not targeted. Third, Daniel was the only candidate with an effective ground game. He was out going door to door for two months in the worst heat of the summer. Hall was not able to do this, and Corcoran was tied down

with his law practice. Daniel also had phone banks and human waves at major traffic intersections, which Mayor Rogero used to do. Fourth, many people liked Daniel challenging UT on repealing the Lady Vols name, the silliness of the UT diversity office on gender pronouns and Christmas plus expensive settlements on Title IX lawsuits exceeding $5 million. While the UT establishment hated Daniel for it, the rank and fi le alumni and community outnumbered the top folks. Fifth, Daniel was willing to self-fund much of his campaigns both this year and in 2014. He still faces Democratic opponent Brandi Price in November. Expect to see Daniel more targeted in the next two years and less distracted by side issues. He will be more careful in what he says and does. Corcoran did well too and has a political future if he wants it. He is already being mentioned as a candidate to replace Brenda Palmer on City Council next year as she is term-limited. Hall, who was once mentioned for council, is now damaged, and Ivan Harmon will not

run as it means him forgoing a sizeable city pension if he serves on City Council. Corcoran made a positive name for himself. â– Both County Commissioner-elect Hugh Nystrom and his Democratic opponent Marleen Davis carried their home precincts. Nystrom won Deane Hill Rec Center 421 to 160 for Davis, while Davis beat Nystrom in Sequoyah by 323 to 291 in unofficial returns. Nystrom won overall with a significant 58 percent of the vote in his West Knoxville district. Davis is already being mentioned as a City Council candidate next year to replace termlimited Duane Grieve, but she would not have the field to herself if she runs. â– Primary returns show the next close contest in Knox County will be between former state Rep. Gloria Johnson and incumbent state Rep. Eddie Smith. Johnson outpolled Smith 1,638 to 1,423 in the entire district. She beat Smith in traditionally GOP-leaning Sequoyah 281 to 258 as well as at Bearden Elementary, 145-83. Johnson, even unopposed, worked the primary with yard signs and personal activities. Smith was not active in the primary and the results show it. Expect local Democrats, led by Mayor Rogero, to go all out to beat Smith this fall. Johnson is helped by having Trump leading the GOP

ticket in this closely-divided district. Gov. Bill Haslam’s PAC has given $6,000 to Smith and it will be interesting to see if the governor, who is popular in the district, campaigns personally for Smith this fall. ■Doug Harris, Knox County school board chair, departs the school board in two weeks, and a month later departs Knoxville for a five-month around-theworld personal trip with his wife, Carla, visiting 25 countries. This is a trip Harris has planned for months and will truly be a fascinating time. He will have a blog where friends and interested persons can follow his travels. He will be in demand to show slides upon his return. ■State Sen. Richard Briggs, who likes to sail, spent the month after the legislative session sailing in the north Atlantic, from Shetlands and Orkney Islands in Scotland to the very north of Norway where it borders Russia. He is back home now. ■The new Public Works complex for the city of Knoxville is ready for occupancy and will have tenants on or after Aug. 15 as part of engineering and public works departments moves into the building off Middlebrook Pike next to the old facilities on Lorraine Street. This new, up-to-date building is needed and a nice addition to the city inventory. A formal opening has not been announced.

Look no further than last week when state Rep. Roger Kane visited the school board workshop at the request of board member Amber Rountree. Kane was there to defend recent legislation that requires 45 minutes per week of unstructured physical activity – formerly called recess, Kane said. Rountree had forwarded to Kane a memo from the state Department of Education on ways to implement the new law – instructions that Kane said were ways to evade the spirit of the law. “The memo includes teacher-structured activities.� Superintendent Buzz Thomas punted to Dr. Elizabeth Alves who said, “We’ve left discretion with elementary principals� in scheduling.

Linda Maccabe had been easing her way into local politics by volunteering at Democratic Party headquarters when she saw a newspaper notice about an informational meeting for aspiring delegates to the Democratic National Convention. She went out of curiosity and learned that there was a caucus in March to certify voters. “I was very curious about the process. How does it actually work? So I submitted my name and asked people to vote for me,� she said. Two Bernie Sanders supporters, two Hillary Clinton supporters and one alternate would be chosen. Maccabe signed up for Clinton. The field was crowded. “I started calling people and asking them to vote for me, but I quickly noticed that I was splitting people apart,� she said, so she made a decision to run for a seat as an alternate, which meant she could go to the convention but wouldn’t be on the floor to vote. “I was fine with that, and life went on,� she said. Then, on a weekend in June, she was buying groceries for out-of-town guests when her cell phone rang. A voting delegate’s slot had come open, and she was one of two eligible contenders for the upgrade. That took a moment to sink in. “I got around the corner Melissa Massie added: who can make decisions in and said, ‘Did she say “We’ve made suggestions� the best interest of the chil- there’s going to be an elecfor implementation. dren they care for and then tion?

Salute to Karen Carson After 12 years, Karen Carson is leaving the school board. Her family and her district should be proud of her service.

That has worked well; each one seems Karen Carson s t r o n g e r and all have contributed to the debate. Carson challenged the conventional wisdom that “everything goes to West Knoxville.� She consistently advocated for her district, where overcrowding is a problem that cannot be fi xed – the kids are outpacing school construction. And she advocated for teachers for 12 years, even if the latest insurgency doesn’t recognize it. That’s my perception based on her own record and words.

A reporter from Arizona Public Radio came by and interviewed her, and she talked about her young great-nieces. “It is so important for them to know we have reached the point that women now have another option open to them, and they won’t even know the struggles we went through for this to happen. “So this is for Ava, Isolde, Emma, Kyla and Brooke,� she said. “I want them to know that women can now be a part of all the conversations in our country.�

Another perspective I will lead the blind by a road they do not know, by paths they have not known I will guide them. I will turn the darkness before them into light, the rough places into level ground. (Isaiah 42: 16 NRSV) So oft in theologic wars, The disputants, I ween, Rail on in utter ignorance Of what each other mean, And prate about an elephant Not one of them has seen! (“The Blind Men and the Elephant,” John Godfrey Saxe)

Quidditch master Cody Bancroft, right, congratulates six-year-old Drake Johnson, who won the match for this team by catching the golden snitch at Camp Hogwarts.

Camp Hogwarts flies high for fourth year By Wendy Smith Sue Isbell, the former director of children’s ministry at Church Street United Methodist Church, was inspired to offer the first Camp Hogwarts in 2012. She wanted to help kids make a Christian connection to the astronomically popular Harry Potter book series. It helped that the church building, completed in 1931, resembles the fictional Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The eighth and final book in the series by J.K. Rowling was released on July 31.

After skipping last year, the church offered the fourth Camp Hogwarts last week. Approximately 50 students attended the twoday camp, and only a third were church members, says current children’s ministry director Katryn McKinney, who grew up attending Church Street UMC. The books offer numerous life lessons, like the value of friendship, choosing good over evil and remembering loved ones who are no longer with us, she says. Those lessons were learned through fun. An astronomy class showed campers how big the uni-

verse is, and scriptures were taught while kids worked with magnetic slime in potions class. Other classes included herbology and defense against the dark arts. Cody Bancroft organized quidditch matches for campers, who were assigned to one of four houses − Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin − by drawing cards from the Sorting Hat. Fictional quidditch players throw quaffles through goals and chase an enchanted golden snitch while flying on brooms. Bancroft’s teams had almost as much fun chasing a yellow Fris-

Our country is much like the elephant in Saxe’s poem. Saxe described each of the six blind men touching a different part of the elephant and leaving with a totally different impression of what an elephant was like. One touched the broad side of the great beast and declared, “The Elephant is very like a wall!” The second took hold of the tusk and deduced that “this … Elephant is very like a spear!” The third blind man happened to take the trunk into his hand, saying, “I see … the Elephant is very like a snake!” The fourth found a knee and decided, “’Tis clear enough the Elephant is very like a tree.” The fifth declared, “This … Elephant is very like a fan,” having found the great ear. The sixth blind man seized on the elephant’s tail and was certain that “the Elephant is very like a rope!” If a foreigner came to America and went only to Florida, he would assume that America is a tropical country. If he went only to Alaska in winter, he would believe America is a vast deep freeze. If he saw only Kansas, he would think the U.S. is flat. If he went to the Rocky Mountains, he would think he had landed in Switzerland! Such is the variety of this great land!

Hot dogs were provided and grilled in the outdoor kitchen by the staff of Independent Insurance Consultants. Karns Senior Center is the only senior facility in Knox County with an outdoor kitchen, and it is a hot spot during social events. RSVPs were requested, and everyone was encouraged to bring a dish. Barb Naessig made Darly’s Pineapple Delight, a famous recipe created by her sister. The treat was devoured within the first 15 minutes of the cookout.

Special guests included keynote speaker and “Butterflies of Tennessee� author Rita Venable, local wildflower enthusiast Kris Light and others. Local plant vendors and artists sold homegrown and handmade goods, and there were many activities for kids of all ages, but perhaps the most popular feature was the UT Insect Zoo manned by UT professor of entomology Dr. Jerome Grant. “I wouldn’t pat this guy too hard, he can jump 10 feet,� said Grant of a tarantula he held and encouraged folks to touch, hold and even wear.

tarantulas are always the biggest draw. The rock star of the moment, however, was the Monarch butterfly. For a small donation, festivalgoers received a living Monarch butterfly in a small envelope and a cup filled with a Gatorade-soaked cotton ball. At the end of the festival, all 100 butterflies were released simultaneously, and the cotton balls were offered to them in case they needed a pick-me-up before taking flight. Cosponsored by the UT Forest Resources AgResearch and Education Center, the butterfly festival is one of many programs being held this year as part of the anniversary celebration. The arboretum includes a 250-acre research and education area that is open to the public. It is recognized as an official Wildlife Observation Area and part of the National Watchable Wildlife Program by the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency, according to its website. The new auditorium is about one-half mile off the main road, so visitors can enjoy nature, well, naturally. Info: www.utarboretumsociety.org or 483-3571.

glanced up at him, its eyes frantic. It seemed to realize, for the first time, that it wasn’t safe in a car anymore. Its startled eyes darted back to Jazz and it bared its teeth once more, its tail sharp as a wasp stinger and vibrating with fear and anger. “Get back up here!� Nick shouted. And then, picturing the dog attacking her the moment her back was turned, he bellowed, “Don’t move!� He looked for a stick, a can, a rock, a bottle cap—anything to throw at the dog. He cried out in frustration, not seeing any useful litter or junk anywhere. Before he could leap off the bench to save his sister, Jazz pulled a piece of cookie from her pocket and held it out. The dog seemed to hold its breath. “Here, boy,� Jazz said in her most gentle voice. She stooped and held the cookie lower. Nick couldn’t believe his eyes. Instead of biting off his sister’s fingers, the dog sniffed the cookie. It dipped its head, as if bowing. Its tail relaxed and it stepped forward and gently took the cookie from Jazz. Nick’s knees turned to licorice whips. He plopped onto the bench, sitting. An older man burst out of the Scudsy-Sudsy, yelling, “Boomer!� He ran up to the dog and scooped him into his arms. He stroked the dog’s head with a trembling hand and looked down at Jazz. “How can I ever thank you for saving my little Boomer! He might have been run over by a car or lost or ... or stolen!� In answer Jazz held up her sign. On shaky legs, Nick stood. “It goes like this.� He turned it right-side up. “A joke?� the man said. “For a quarter?� Jazz nodded. “If you don’t laugh, you get your quarter back,� Nick said. The man pulled a dollar bill from the pocket of his pants. He handed it to Jazz. “We don’t have change, sir,� Nick said. “Not yet, anyway.� “That’s quite all right, young man. A good joke is worth far more than a quarter.� Smiling, Nick nodded to Jazz. “Go ahead. Tell the joke.� Jazz took a deep breath and opened her mouth, but before she could say anything they heard Clay yelling from Jerry’s SuperDuper Grocery. “Nick! Jazz! Come here!� They turned to see Clay standing next to Mr. Jerry himself. Clay looked scared.

Nick held out the dollar. “We’ll be back ... maybe.� The man waved the dollar away, hugging his dog. “You saved Boomer. But I could use a laugh. Hurry back if you can. I’m on the rinse cycle.� Nick wondered what was going on, as he and Jazz trotted toward Clay. His gut felt like a knot of worms. Mr. Jerry was wearing a bloodstained apron from the meat counter and he didn’t look happy. “You friends of his?� Mr. Jerry put a hand on Clay’s shoulder. Nick nodded. “Look, son. I don’t allow people to beg off my customers. It’s bad for business. But your friend here says you’re raising money to help feed the homeless. That true?� Nick looked from Mr. Jerry to Clay, whose large eyes were pleading for help. Had Clay really said that? Nick tried to picture Clay giving away money. The image that flashed in his mind was so funny, he smiled. But raising money for the homeless wasn’t a bad idea. In fact, it was a great idea — even if it wasn’t Clay’s— maybe even especially because it wasn’t Clay’s. “Yep,� he said, avoiding Clay’s face. “We’re trying for a record, to see how much money we can make today. For the homeless.� Mr. Jerry patted Clay’s shoulder. Clay’s head nodded, as if agreeing with Nick. “That’s what your buddy says. I just had to make sure I wasn’t being conned. You know.� Nick glanced at Clay, who looked as if he were going to be sick. Mr. Jerry smiled. “I’ll match you dollar for dollar. And, you know what I’m going to do? Call the newspaper. Tell them what you’re doing, why people should help young folks help the homeless. Ask them to send over a photographer and a reporter. “So here’s the deal. I’m helping you, but I want you to do something for me. It’s a back-scratching thing. When somebody makes a donation, offer to take their groceries to their car.� Looking beyond Clay, he said, “Here’s your first customer.� He turned and called, “Ma’am? Let this boy help you, and please consider helping the homeless.� Nick and Clay gasped. Mr. Jerry was beckoning Clay’s mother. And grandmother. (To be continued)

News from the Register of Deeds

Million Dollar Dinner Something very special is happening on Nov. 19, something that has never happened in the history of Rotary District 6780. Knoxville Rotarians from our seven clubs will join Rotarians from the district’s other 58 clubs for the first-ever “Million Dollar Dinner.� In one evening the district will raise $1 million for The Rotary Foundation. The stars did align for this. This year is the 100th anniversary of The Rotary Foundation. The president of Rotary International this year is John Germ of Chattanooga, a former district governor of 6780. The current district governor is Fred Heitman, a son-in-law of the late William T. “Bill� Sergeant, who was known around the world for his work on eradicating polio and was called “Mr. Rotary� wherever he went. His statue stands proudly in Krutch Park. The Million Dollar VIP Dinner will honor Rotarians from the district who donate or make pledges of $10,000 or more to reach the $1 million goal. “The wheels are in motion to pull off what plans to be a special night, and the response thus far from many of our Rotarians has been tremendous,� says past district Gov. Frank Rothermel, the event’s committee chair. The evening’s featured guests will include Germ and the keynote speaker of the event, Ian H.S. Riseley of the Rotary Club of Sandringham, Victoria, Australia, who is president-elect of Rotary International and will be president in 2017-18.

Where will the event take place? “It will be in either Knoxville or Chattanooga, and it will be based on how much the Rotarians in both areas raise,â€? Rothermel explained. “The one with the most will host the dinner.â€? â–

Honoring Stan Brock

The Rotary Club of Bearden recently presented its prestigious “Service Above Selfâ€? award to humanitarian Stan Brock. Brock, a Britishborn philanthropist, was first known for his TV work on “Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom.â€?

Midsummer property sales promising By Sherry Witt

After a strong beginning to summer, local real estate and lending markets c ont i nued to produce promising results in July. There Sherry Witt were 1,196 property transfers recorded in Knox County. While that number fell short of June’s near-record total of 1,340 sales, it was still a very good result for the middle month of summer. The aggregate value of property sold in July was just over $266 million – nearly $20 million ahead of last July’s pace, when approximately $247 million worth of real estate changed hands. Thus far, real estate sales in 2016 have outperformed the 2015 market by

about $100 million. July’s mortgage lending data was also healthy as $354.4 million was loaned against real estate in Knox County, compared to around $307 million in July 2015. Mortgage lending and refinancing in 2016 is running about $53 million above last year’s levels. The largest sale of real estate recorded in the county during July was the transfer of student housing developments in the Fort Sanders area. The property was purchased by M&A Hive Knoxville LLC for $12.75 million. Mortgage loans were led by $18 million, financing the office complex off Keller Bend known as Lakeside Centre. With one more full month of summer left, the local real estate market appears poised to make a strong showing as the somewhat slower pace of fall approaches.

My search for an Erectile Dysfunction Solution is OVER!! I am a 68 year old erectile dysfunction sufferer and found Tennessee Men’ s Health while in a frantic internet search for an answer to my ever increasing condition. Having taken E.D. Drugs for many years I was looking for a nondrug solution that would help restore spontaneity and performance. After reading numerous articles and testimonials about the Priapus Shot (“P” Shot®) I had great interest as a potential solution. I made an appointment and drove ninety miles to Tennessee Men’s Health in Knoxville. I was immediately made to feel comfortable and at ease about this most sensitive of subjects. After discussions with Dr. Monnig, I decided to proceed with the “P” Shot® on my first appointment. The procedure itself is rather brief and only slightly above uncomfortable. The results for me have been astounding. This simple procedure has given me a natural tumescent feel that is reminiscent of my youth. I feel larger than ever before, an attribute readily noted by my wife. But the most wonderful of all is the return of sensitivity. The enjoyment had no doubt disappeared over the years; to have it return within 72 hours of the procedure was absolutely shocking.

This entire experience has restored my selfconfidence, made me more affectionate to my wife and cleared away a depression that had formed from a perceived reduction in manhood. Thanks to all of you at Tennessee Men’s Health for giving me my life back. - Testimonial on file
