to patient care in an unrushed environment. Discover how this new level of personalized healthcare can benefit you and your family. June is also set aside to honor dads and all they do for their families. Let your dad know just how much he is appreciated. It can be with a gift, a family fun day, or just a phone call to let him know he is loved. My dad holds a special place in my life, and though he is now gone, he is sorely missed. I think of him each time I see a father enjoying family time or an elderly man who is still active with his daily routine. Cherish the time you do have with your father and make his day, as well as every day, a special one. All of us at Everything Knoxville wish all dads a very Happy Father’s Day. Everyone enjoy the start of the summer season.

Delivering Caring and Compassionate Healthcare the Way You Remember It
A
DVANCES IN MEDICAL SCIENCE in the United States have dramatically enhanced life expectancies from 54.1 years in 1918 to 78.6 years in 2017. However, the financial costs of sustaining and enhancing these revolutionary advances have taken their toll on both hospitals and medical providers. Rural hospital closings are expected to increase, as are the number of hospital consolidations. In fact, it is estimated that only 50% of our current health system will remain in the next decade. Add to that that only one-third of physicians today remain in private practice, and it’s easy to understand why patients who once placed an immense value on their relationships with their physicians feel that their medical care is driven primarily by the providers’ bottom line rather than their real medical needs. But a growing number of private practice medical providers are pushing back against this managed care trend that so closely resembles the socialized medical models we see in Europe and elsewhere today.

Launched by husband and wife team, Scott Gallian, MD, MBA, and U.S. Air Force veteran, and Lauren Gallian, FNP-BC, Gallian Medical Group in nearby Hardin Valley offers a fresh and totally new approach to providing caring and compassionate, fullservice primary care to their patients, unlike the current trend that our healthcare system has embarked on. Complete with in-house diagnostic lab, EKG and X-ray services, Gallian Medical Group offers their patients a level of medical excellence not often found in many clinics today. What patients appreciate the most about Gallian Medical Group is a level of compassionate caring that they remember from the past and is difficult to find today. Gone are the “bus station-like” waiting room experiences and “steeple chase-like” visits with your healthcare provider. What remains is a husband and wife team and a group of experienced and dedicated medical professionals who are totally committed to your individual healthcare needs in a caring, compassionate, and unrushed environment. We trust that you are going to enjoy this month’s issue of Everything Knoxville, where we are excited to feature Scott and Lauren. Rediscover an entirely new level of personalized healthcare that you might have thought no longer existed today. EK: Tell our readers a little bit about your medical training and backgrounds. Scott: I graduated medical school from LSU and have an MBA from The University of Tennessee. I was a hospitalist for seven years and have been doing outpatient medicine since 2014. Lauren: I went to nursing school at the University of Alabama-Birmingham and received my master’s in nursing from Vanderbilt University. I was an ICU nurse for many years before working as a nurse practitioner, which I began in 2012. EK: It would appear that your past combined experience in area hospitals and clinics was the basis for the creation of Gallian Medical Group. Describe those experiences.
Scott: In the outpatient setting, we felt as if our employers were dictating care, not the patient. In the hospital, we were able to take whatever time we needed to solve a problem. We wanted to put the focus back on the patient and give them ample time to help treat their problems and not lock them into a 15-minute box. EK: What medical services does Gallian Medical Group provide? Lauren: We provide evidence-based primary care for patients age 12 and up. We have our own lab and X-ray machine. We also perform EKGs and spirometry services. We’re open Monday through Friday from 7 am to 6 pm to accommodate as many patients as possible EK: How do your patients react to your unrushed approach to medicine, where you actively engage them in conversation while listening carefully to their concerns? Scott: They thoroughly enjoy it. When I ask a new patient why they are switching doctors, I usually hear, “I felt rushed” or “I don’t feel I was listened to.” We want to work with the patient to achieve their goals and take the time with them that’s necessary to make sure we’re all on the same page. EK: Because you are free from any corporate control, how do you feel your patients benefit? Lauren: Choice. If they need a service we can’t provide, then they are free to go wherever they like. They can choose any specialist, any hospital, any other ancillary service they want – not just the ones under a certain corporate umbrella. EK: Your personal philosophy that patients are loyal to their healthcare providers and not the corporations that control them is a breath of fresh air in today’s healthcare and business marketplaces. What has been the response from your patients? Scott: They love it. They want a provider they can stay with for life, not someone that will move on after the provider’s contract expires or if the corporate employer makes decisions affecting the doctor-patient relationship. Patients want their provider, not a replacement or substitute. We plan on being here for many years to come.
EK: Unlike other area healthcare providers that experience high staff turnover, your team has been with you for a number of years. How important is this to your patients? Lauren: Extremely important. Our staff is a big reason for our success. We feel the patients’ relationship with our staff is as important as the patients’ relationship with us. Our staff is like family to us. EK: What is a typical patient wait time? Scott: Most of the time less than 15 minutes. Rarely more than 30 minutes. EK: You appear to attract a great many Medicare patients. Why is that? Lauren: Medicare patients are a special population. They generally have more healthcare needs and have higher expectations than other groups of patients. They usually are more in tune with their health than a younger person and more self-educated about their health. We want them to know we’re here to meet their expectations and provide the quality care they deserve. EK: What other types of insurance do you accept? Scott: Almost all commercial insurances, Medicare, and Medicare Advantage plans. We don’t discriminate based on a patient’s insurance status. EK: How can people learn more about Gallian Medical Group? Lauren: Our website is www.gallianmedical. com. We also encourage people to visit our Facebook page. EK: In closing, is there anything else you would like to add? Scott: We want your readers to know that there are plenty of excellent doctors and nurse practitioners here in Knoxville. We also want them to know that we will go the extra mile to ensure they have a truly wonderful healthcare experience.

marketplace, you will often hear the phrase “location, location, location,” which emphasizes the significant role that location represents in the resale of your existing home. While important, your home’s location is just one of the many components that must be considered when developing a winning marketing strategy. Well-thought out marketing strategies greatly enhance your potential for success and replace what often has passed for marketing in the past, namely a for sale sign in the front yard. A well-thought out marketing strategy that is carefully implemented can often result in selling your home faster and for the highest price possible when compared
to the for sale sign method. I typically have a sit-down strategy session with the sellers where we discuss their expectations, the unique features and characteristics of their home, market valuations, schools, shopping, essential city services, etc. Based on this information, we carefully develop a strategy to target a variety of communication and advertising platforms designed to reach prospective buyers. In preparation for marketing your home, we recommend enhancements to its interior and exterior, take professional photos, including overhead drone photography, prepare sales sheets for each home, and then custom design signage for your home. Your home is unique, and your marketing
strategy should be as unique as your home. That is why I am engaged every step of the way. From staging and photography to custom sign design, market strategy development, and negotiations, I will do everything in my power to sell your home in as little time as possible, and at the highest possible price. There are no guarantees in life, but by taking a professional approach to marketing your home from the start, your potential for success is greatly enhanced.

ASSET-BASED LONG TERM CARE INSURANCE

HILE MOST RETIREES worry about stock market downturns, an even bigger financial threat is an unexpected health event that Medicare doesn’t cover. The average cost of home health care and assisted living is more than $40,000/year and a full-skilled care facility is more than $70,000/year. This retirement planning decision is truly a family one – if you don’t make plans to cover these costs, the burden falls to your adult children, who are trying to save for their own retirement and their kids’ education. That is not a scenario anyone wishes for their children! Several options exist to pay for home health and long-term care costs: 1. Self-insure and rely on family members Pros: If you never need long-term care, you haven’t spent money on unnecessary premiums. Cons: A couple’s funds can be depleted providing care for the first spouse, leaving the second spouse with few options. Additionally, the psychological and physical toll on the caregiving spouse is significant. 2. Let my money run out and rely on the government Pros: Minimal cost. Cons: Medicaid requires you to be impoverished and gives you little control over the facility in which you will live. It does not cover home health or assisted living. 3. Use traditional long-term care insurance Pros: Annual premiums provide insurance benefits for a variety of home health, assisted living, and skilled facilities. Cons: Premiums do increase over time, and it has the “use it or lose it” stigma of paying for something you may never use. 4. Asset-based long-term care insurance Pros: This is, by far, my favorite option. It allows you to reposition a portion of your savings into a type of life policy that provides a multiplied amount of your investment, tax-free, if you need long-term care. And there is no “use it or lose it” – your investment simply turns into an inheritance for your heirs, or you can even cancel the policy and request your money back. Cons: Need to have the necessary investment minimum of $35,000 already saved, though a 10-year payment plan is available. There is even insurance available for people who already need long-term care and are afraid they will run out of money. As a financial planner, my job is to protect my clients’ financial lives. Get started today – call my office to schedule a complimentary conversation. Your family will thank you.

ANT TO START making more earth-friendly food choices in the kitchen? Start with mushrooms, a healthy food that requires minimal natural resources to produce. According to a 2017 study titled “The Mushroom Sustainability Story,” mushroom production requires relatively low water, energy, and land space. Growing one pound of mushrooms involves using only 1.8 gallons of water and 1.0 kilowatt hours of energy and generates only 0.7 pounds of CO2-equivalent emissions. And since mushrooms are grown on vertically stacked beds, it’s possible to grow up to one million pounds of mushrooms per acre annually. Mushrooms’ environmental footprint is just one reason to add them to your shopping list. They are full of health benefits, including B vitamins, copper, potassium, and riboflavin. They are also low in calories, fat-free, cholesterol-free, gluten-free, and low in sodium. “There’s no doubt that mushrooms are having a moment – they are popping up on food trends lists across the nation, and for good reason,” said Jehangir Mehta, celebrity chef and owner of Graffiti Earth Restaurant and “New York City’s Most Sustainable Chef,” according to Michelin. “The deliciousness of mushrooms coupled with its nutritious and gentle footprint on the environment attributes itself as a sustainable winner.” If you want a simple, easy and healthy way to be more earth-friendly in your kitchen, make mushrooms a part of your favorite dishes.

No Dental Insurance? No Problem! I
F THE ONLY THING standing between you and regular dental care is insurance, Heritage Family Dentistry has the perfect solution. Called Heritage Family Membership Club, uninsured patients can take advantage of savings on a variety of services offered by Heritage Family Dentistry. For a low monthly fee of only $27 and a one-time $50 lifetime activation fee, adults and children can save on professional dental cleanings, doctor exams, required x-rays, emergency exam, fluoride treatment for children 12 and younger, and 15% off all other treatments. (Some exclusions may apply.) Heritage Family Dentistry even offers a special membership program for those requiring active periodontal maintenance due to prior treatment of periodontal (gum) disease. “Because we value your loyalty, we’ve launched our very own membership club for our patients without dental insurance,” said Dr. Jonathan Bradshaw. “This membership club simplifies payment for preventable dental care while offering savings on many of the other services we offer.” Po s t p o n i n g r e g u l a r d e n t a l c a r e can be detrimental not only to good dental health, but also your overall health as well. Untreated, a variety of dental diseases that go undetected and
untreated can result in both lengthy and expensive treatments later on. And if you think you might be able to detect a dental abnormality yourself, you might be surprised to learn that many diseases, including serious infections that can erode your jawbone, resulting in permanent loss of your natural teeth, often produce no symptoms until serious bone loss has occurred. Why put off regular dental care any longer? Call Heritage Family Dentistry
today at 865-816-9211 to learn more about their membership club and how it can save you and your family money. You can also become a member online by visiting www.hfdsmiles.com. It’s time to show off your smile!

ATHER’S
D A Y , which is celebrated on Sunday, June 17, this year, will be here before we know it. I would like to personally invite you to visit us at Gallery on Main for that forever gift that Dad will cherish and remember for many years to come. Located in historic downtown Sweetwater, Gallery on Main has a wide variety of gifts for you to discover that you just cannot find in the “big box” stores. Consider a fine hand-crafted writing instrument created by area artisans that can be used and enjoyed by your father every day and that becomes a legacy gift to be shared with future generations. Or maybe Dad would enjoy a hand-crafted, rustic end-table created from white oak with cedar branch legs to rest his remotes and favorite beverage in his “man cave.” We also feature prints of popular vintage car grills, reminiscent of Dad’s teenage years, which can be framed and beautifully displayed in his special area of your home. While you are visiting Gallery on Main, come early and be sure to enjoy a custom brewed coffee (hot, iced, or frozen) at our new “Cup Runneth Over” and “Sweet Shop,” which are also located in historic downtown Sweetwater. Or enjoy a lunch to remember at one of our wonderful downtown restaurants. Also, be sure to visit Main Street Marketplace, a special event hosted by the City of Sweetwater. Visit the city’s Facebook page for a list of dates, times, and vendors who will be participating each weekend. We look forward to seeing you soon!

F
OR MORE than a decade, David Blaine has been attracting the attention of the world, including the world’s leading scientists, with his high-profile physical endurance stunts. Starting his career as a street magician who appeared to do the impossible with a deck of cards, he was soon following in the footsteps of Houdini – seeking out that which seems physically impossible and doing it for real. To that end, he’s been buried alive for a week, survived on nothing but water for 44 days, stood atop a 100-foot-tall pillar with no safety net for 36 hours, and barely survived being encased inside a six-ton block of ice for three days and three nights. In 2008, he smashed the world record by holding his breath underwater for an unbelievable 17 minutes and four seconds.

RAF actively solicits vase donations to support our mission. Donating your unused vases is an easy way to support our mission. Practically everyone has unused vases in their garage or tucked away in kitchen cabinets. What may be trash or clutter to you is actually one person served in the eyes of RAF! FAQs Do the vases have to be a certain type, size, color, etc.? While RAF will accept any vase if brought to our warehouse, we have determined the best size for our mission is under nine inches in height, with an opening of no more than four inches in diameter. Coffee cups and small baskets also work well within our mission. RAF volunteers love unusual vases of all shapes and colors! How can I get vases to you? RAF relies on volunteer support to carry out our mission. We encourage any group or company to drop off their vases at our
warehouse, located at 3500 Workman Road, Suite 101B, in Knoxville. Do the vases need to be washed? We always appreciate receiving clean vases when possible. However, RAF can enlist volunteers to wash them. What is the best way to transport them? Cardboard boxes work very well. You may also wish to wrap them in newspaper or tissue for safer transport, although we have discovered most vases are very sturdy! Any additional information?

Every senior at Christian Academy is required to complete a CAPSTONE Project that builds on the student’s passion. Matthew’s passion is computer programming. He offered to help develop a software program to map routes for FISH drivers. During the next 18 months, Matthew worked with the FISH Team to design a software program to capture all the information drivers need to make deliveries and create a report specific to each driver.

He created a map linked to GPS that showed the best route for each driver’s deliveries. First Farragut UMC is a member of the West Knox FISH Pantry, the only delivery pantry in Knox County. First Farragut partners with 17 churches in Knox County to stock this pantry and deliver groceries to families in need who have no transportation. The FISH ministry has been active almost 50 years in Knox County. Member churches take phone calls and deliver groceries once a month. In April 2018, using Matthew’s software, the First Farragut FISH Team delivered to 44 households. The team was able to provide each driver with a delivery report and a GPS map showing the most efficient delivery route. Matthew will be attending UT this fall in the computer science program.

Last year alone more than 20 billion wings were consumed by Americans, 1.25 billion on Super Bowl weekend alone. The Big Kahuna Wing Festival has become one of the best culinary events in the region. Last year the festival drew more than 8,000 attendees who enjoyed more than 100 different sauces from 40 different teams representing restaurants, cooking teams, businesses, and The University of Tennessee Culinary Institute.

THE
MOST
recognizable – and most downloaded – songs of all time is Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin’." Co-written by then-lead singer, Steve Perry, and keyboardist, Jonathan Cain, the song has become the anthem of generations and is considered a staple of the soundtrack of teens of the ’80s. Jonathan Cain took time out of his incredibly busy schedule to talk with me about his justreleased autobiography, “Don’t Stop Believin’,” as well as what fans can expect at Journey’s stop with Def Leppard at Thompson-Boling Arena on June 6th. I spoke with him by phone at his Florida home just before he headed out to church with his wife of three years, Reverend Paula White. With more than seven years spent working on his book, I asked him how he felt about the finished product. “It’s been quite a journey, no pun intended. It really has been a journey. I learned a lot. I must’ve re-wrote this book 10 times. But really, getting into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame changed my whole focus. From the lens of that, it was easy to look back and see how to tell the story. I think that really needed to happen before the book could come together the way it came.” When asked what he hoped people would take away from the book when they finished it, he said: “I hope it gives them a sense of confidence. They get hope. You have to continue to walk, because you may have a good season and make a million dollars. That doesn’t mean anything. This seeking – you can always be better. I feel that there’s

always a way to improve. I kept looking and searching for ways I could get better and be more effective. “Eventually I learned how to tell my own story, which took a lot of work. Just because you can write a song doesn’t mean you’re cut out to be a writer. I learned where my voice was. I learned a lot about grammar. It was like going back to school again really. “But all that just goes to when I wanted to write songs, I focused in on that early on. I realized I wasn’t going to be a virtuoso. But I think in the end, it’s confidence, perseverance – it takes work to get somewhere. Just because you think you got somewhere doesn’t mean that’s the end result, as my father said. It’s just a stepping stone. That was his big line: ‘It’s only a stepping stone.’ I’d say, ‘Dad, how far do I have to go to prove it to you?’ and he’d say, ‘I’ll tell you when you get it.’ “When Journey came along, he looked at me and said, ‘That’s what I said. That’s what I meant. That’s what I mean.’ Pretty cool, Dad. That’s why I dedicate the book to him. “Also, I hope all the young fathers out there take note and pay attention to the gifts your child has the way my dad did and lift them up in those areas they’re excelling in and recognize it. Give them confidence that it’s possible.” Jonathan makes it crystal clear in the book that his dad was his biggest influencer and encourager. I asked him how he thought his dad would feel about the book. “It is a legacy of our family, of the generations that he was part of. He brought me to the fiddle with my grandfather, and it
turns out that my great grandfather played the violin. My uncles played. So that legacy that he shared is well represented in the book. I’m only a part of him, so I think he would be very happy with it.” Since we last spoke, Jonathan’s spiritual walk seems to be much more prominent and devout. I asked him what would he like fans to know about that walk. “I want people to know you are worth it. I want fans to know this isn’t about religion. God isn’t about religion. It’s about the light and the hope and the love. He’s not an angry God. He’s not a judging God. He’s a good God. You can always return. So my point is that it’s never too late to return. He’s always there for you. He’s been there in the background. I tell people it’s like He pays for the suite that you’re in; He makes sure you have room service; He makes sure your room’s clean; and you just thank Him. He pays all the bills.” Knoxville will be showing Jonathan and the band that it won’t stop believin’ in the band on June 6th. “Don’t Stop Believin’” is available online and at your favorite place to buy books.

June in the Garden BY LISA GRUGIN
I’M
MELTING. Yeah, I promised I wouldn’t complain about the heat after that terrible winter, but it would have been nice to have a spring that lasted longer than three days! We went from record lows to record highs. We haven’t had time to acclimate, and neither have our plants. I hope that by the time you read this our weather has settled down a bit. Summer patterns tend to be more stable, so perhaps Mother Nature will decide that we have had enough of the roller coaster. Whether she does or not, there are still lots of things to be done! » Do your monthly walk through and see what is going on. There are several plants that took a real beating this winter/spring, and they may be slow to recover. Resist the urge to “boost” them. You can prune off anything that is dead, but cutting in to live wood will stress them further. Don’t over-fertilize either. An organic, gentle boost is best. » Are you seeing signs of disease? We are already seeing powdery mildew,
black spot, and shot-hole disease being brought in. If you have susceptible plants, start a treatment regimen or use a systemic treatment early. » There are lots of bugs out there, but remember that they aren’t all bad. One customer wanted to know how to kill the ladybugs on her tomatoes until I explained that one ladybug can clean all the aphids off her tomato in a single day! Don’t freak out and start spraying toxic chemicals at the first sign of something crawling on your plants. Always use the least toxic chemical possible. » Do you still need to plant? Don’t worry, so do I! We have a great inventory of pretty plants, and some prefer to be planted when the soil is warm. I would try to get large plants (trees and big shrubs) in by the end of the month, but annuals and perennials can be planted whenever you get a chance. » How are your vegetables doing? You can still plant to spread the harvest out a bit. Keep a close watch on your garden to monitor for pests and disease. Nothing is

more disheartening than to spend all that time and energy only to fall victim to blight, cutworms, or raccoons! » Keep your herbs snipped back to keep them from flowering. They lose much of their flavor if allowed to bloom. This doesn’t apply, of course, to those that are grown for their blossoms! It is also best to harvest in the morning when the essential oil level is highest. » Your container gardens probably need some attention. It is very important to fertilize, deadhead, and water frequently! If plants are getting leggy, give them a haircut. This is especially true for plants that get a little straggly like petunias or bullies like sweet potato vine. » Some of your perennials may also be getting leggy. Cut or pinch them back so they are less prone to flopping. You can also cut back flower stalks on plants that have finished blooming (iris, peonys) and remove any remaining foliage from spring bulbs. Fall bloomers can also be pinched or cut back to make them stronger. » I don’t usually say much about grass, but I am already seeing some scalping being done. If you want nice, healthy grass, you must not cut it too short! It is also much better to run your sprinklers for a longer period on fewer days than to run it a little every day. » Speaking of sprinklers, remember that they are geared for grass and annuals. They are not adequate for trees and shrubs. In technical terms, they don’t do diddly-squat for larger plants except fool you into thinking that you have watered them. Use a soaker hose or hand water. » Be careful with weed whackers. I frequently see dogwoods and other thin barked trees that have been killed by them. It is better to do a mulch ring, but donuts – not volcanoes! Do not pile mulch around your trees! » Don’t forget the birds. A clean and full birdfeeder and birdbath will bring all those lovely bug eaters to your yard. » Go outside and play in the dirt. I heard a fascinating talk by Dr. Sue Hamilton a couple of weeks ago about how much healthier the people who garden are than their indoor neighbors. There is even something called Nature Deprivation Syndrome, which is type of depression caused by a lack of exposure to the outdoors! Ten minutes of gardening is as therapeutic as meditation. Stop in and see us soon and often, because we keep fresh plants and gifts coming in all year!

Garage Renovation: Starting from the Floor Up
M
OST OF US grew up with a
totally utilitarian garage with a coated floor – coated with oil and dirt. But today’s garages have become an extension of a home’s living space, and that means creating a clean space with flooring that’s durable and easy to clean. For a striking and durable garage floor coating that is easy to maintain, Knoxville’s PremierGarage can transform an oil-stained, pitted, or peeling epoxy-coated garage floor into a showroom quality look. PremierGarage, the nation’s leader in garage enhancements and remodeling, combines its proprietary hybrid polymer flooring system technology with their extensive industry knowledge and experience to provide a high-quality finish that is chemical, stain, and slip resistant. “There have been many improvements in coating technology during the past 20 years, and the preferred garage flooring is our polyurea coating,” said Brain Falls, Flooring Division Manager for PremierGarage. “Polyurea is a hard coating that’s widely specified in commercial settings where failure is not an option, and floors are designed to last.”
The two-day process starts with technicians who diamond grind each floor to the ideal surface condition to achieve a permanent chemical bond that substantially outlives traditional epoxies. Curing two times harder than epoxy, the flooring provides a continuous, non-porous coating surface that naturally resists various liquids that may leak from your automobile’s engine. It’s like armor for your concrete floor. Any clean-up requires only a hose or mop. Available in hundreds of various chip and
color combinations, you can customize your garage flooring to fit your home and style. The garage will be as aesthetically pleasing as the rest of the home. Premier Garage’s flooring solutions are also suitable for commercial and light industrial applications. Having a PremierGarage floor installed will also: » Increase the resale value of your home » Improve safety with a floor that is slip-, impact-, and heat-resistant and brighten the area with increased light reflectivity » Open up new activities in your garage – it could double as a children’s play area or hobby nook Call PremierGarage and discover the affordability of transforming your garage floor.

the Greek word for hedgehog due to its spiny, unique center, Echinacea, or coneflower, has always been one of my favorite perennials. The plant’s overabundance of summer-blooming flowers attracts a multitude of beneficial pollinators to the garden, plus the cultivars bloom in a rainbow of colors. One of the AAS Trial Winners for 2013, Echinacea x hybrida ‘Cheyenne Spirit,’ is stealing the show in the coneflower department. An herbaceous perennial, this cultivar requires minimal care – no deadheading,
staking, or excessive watering, not to mention the plant is deer resistant. Also, it comes in nearly every color you can think of, including white, yellow, orange, red, and purple – sometimes all on one plant! Like other coneflowers, ‘Cheyenne Spirit’ requires full sun for the best and biggest prolific blooms. It is drought tolerant, especially after the first year, and it grows well in a variety of soils. It is also resistant to rain and wind damage, refusing to topple over in most storms in contrast to traditional Echinacea. ‘Cheyenne Spirit’ plants are somewhat bushy

and upright and with blooms, measure about 32 inches tall. This plant will happily grow in zones 4-9. ‘Cheyenne Spirit’ is perfect for pollinator or cottage-style gardens when planted in a perennial bed or used in mass plantings in a landscape border. All Echinacea species are native to North America, so this plant is also a suitable choice for a native garden. Blooming the first year, the 3-inch to 4-inch flower heads are sure to attract a variety of butterflies and other pollinators. Plus, if you leave the old flower heads on the plant into fall and winter, birds, especially goldfinches, will enjoy eating the seeds. You can find ‘Cheyenne Spirit’ growing all across the state, and specimens are on display in all three of UT Gardens locations: Knoxville, Jackson, and Crossville. Echinacea ‘Cheyenne Spirit’ is also widely available at local nurseries. The UT Gardens include plant collections located in Knoxville, Jackson, and Crossville. Designated as the official botanical garden for the State of Tennessee, the collections are part of the UT Institute of Agriculture. The Gardens’ mission is to foster appreciation, education, and stewardship of plants through garden displays, educational programs, and research trials. The Gardens are open during all seasons and free to the public. For more information, visit www.ag.tennessee.edu/utg. Photo by A. Windham, courtesy UTIA
You Do the Dishes, Let Us Do the Grout F OR MOST OF US, the old-
fashioned mop is the cleaning tool of choice for tile and grout flooring. When tile is new, the mop often does the trick. Over time, however, the appearance of your tile and grout will begin to have problems. Traffic patterns begin to emerge, while other areas lose their shine and luster. Because grout is porous, it absorbs most of the dirt and debris it meets. Mopping only removes surface dirt while ignoring the dirt locked below the top layer. The more you mop, the more soil gets trapped INSIDE your floor. That’s where we can help you, the homeowner. From soil removal to dealing with mold and mildew spores associated with high humidity areas, Surface Doc can solve your most frustrating tile and grout issues. Our truck-mounted system allows us to tackle your floors with a three-step process. To extract soil beneath the surface, extreme heat must be used. Our special tools combine 240º of heat with high pressure to
completely eradicate all the dirt inside your floors. Then it’s whisked away with powerful suction, leaving no mess behind. We deep-clean most hard surfaces, including ceramic, porcelain, travertine, limestone, concrete, and brick pavers. Once you’ve had an area deep-cleaned to your satisfaction, you will likely want to protect your surfaces with our high-quality sealer. We strongly recommend sealing hard surfaces to prevent future damage and to make home cleanings a snap. Our patented sealer will protect your floors from staining, effervescence,

The New Old Wood: Using Reclaimed Wood in Your Home Jenny Blalock
Licensed General Contractor
T
HERE ARE MANY
unique characteristics of older homes that I feel set them apart from today’s newer homes. In my opinion, the intricate architectural details on display in many old homes are far superior to those found in most homes built today. However, if I had to name one trait that distinguishes older homes from homes built today, it would have to be their character. For me, character is felt rather than observed. When I walk in the front door of a home, the walls and flooring either emit character or they’re just standard framing with a few finish materials added to enhance their appearance. Recreate old home character with reclaimed wood Is it possible to add character to a home? Yes, it can be done with a generous infusion of reclaimed wood. Whether reclaimed from old barns, homes, or factories, reclaimed wood has decades and sometimes centuries of history etched into its beautiful grains and even visible on its surface at times. Due to the growing demand for reclaimed wood used not only in the custom homes I build, but from other builders and homeowners alike, I recently launched a new enterprise called Plantation Reclaimed, which specializes in the reclamation of decades and occasionally century old wood, which can not only add warmth to any room in your home, but also infuses a space with a sense of history and charm that new materials lack. You may be surprised at all the places you can incorporate reclaimed wood into your home. The reclaimed wood from Plantation Reclaimed can be used for flooring, interior trim, beams, doors, wall treatments, or pretty much anywhere in a home where you might consider using wood. If you’re concerned about protecting the environment, using reclaimed wood is the ultimate in recycling. You’re reusing material from trees that were cut down ages ago and saving it from ending up in the burn pile or landfill. There’s a reclaimed wood for just about any application Whether you’re looking for an elegant floor or an accent wall, there’s a reclaimed wood from Plantation Reclaimed that’s just right for your application. If you want wood that practically
oozes character, choose reclaimed material that still displays the nail holes from its previous incarnation. Barn doors are also popping up all over the place. Their rustic simplicity can be incorporated into any design preference and living space. Unlike hinged doors, these sliding ones require and take up very little space. The doors are easily mounted on special hardware. Reclaimed wood just might be able to
add that missing character to your home and may become a foundation upon which your family can create its own memories. To discover how reclaimed, antique lumber from Plantation Reclaimed can be incorporated into your new home or remodeling project, or to learn about the Luxe Homes experience, you’re invited to call me today.

East Tennessee’s 2018 Endangered 8
E
ACH YEAR the East Tennessee
Photo by Michael Toomey
Preservation Alliance (ETPA) presents a list of eight endangered heritage sites in the region. The goal of the list is to draw attention to these threatened heritage assets and encourage property owners and communities to develop preservation strategies for saving them. The 2018 Endangered 8 The Henderson Chapel African AME Zion Church in Rutledge was first constructed in 1890 from the logs of Grainger County’s Henderson Chapel first courthouse. It is the oldest African American congregation and church building in the county. The Chapel was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000. Regular services ended in 2001 and maintenance issues are beginning to mount. There is concern that the site might be a candidate for redevelopment and the building would be lost. The Bowman House, originally located on the Little Tennessee River and now on Tellico Lake, was built in 1828 by George Bowman, a German immigrant. Mr. Bowman is thought to be the first white man to build among the Indians. The Federal style home is typical of Tennessee country homes of that era and features a limestone base quarried from Morganton, brick made on site, and beautiful curved-brick corbeling under the eaves. The property is listed on t h e Na t i o n a l Register of Historic Places Davis Creek Church and is a featured property in Loudon County history books. In 2017, this property was listed for sale. The Davis Creek Primitive Baptist Church has been holding services since 1797. It is believed to be the oldest Primitive Baptist Church still holding services in Tennessee. Located in the Speedwell community, the current church building dates to 1880. The structure has been facing much needed repairs and would like to apply for National Register designation. The Blaine area is home to three properties listed in the National Register of Historic Places: Richland, built by Revolutionary War veteran Captain Thomas Jarnagin; Poplar Hill, a rare example in East Tennessee of the Gothic Revival style built in 1830; and Shield’s Station, established around 1790 and 42

a rare example in East Tennessee of the New England Saltbox post and beam structure. While the individual properties are currently well-maintained, the Grainger County Historic Society and ETPA are concerned about recent blasting at a quarry operation within this 1.2 mile area of historic buildings. This year the c. 1974 Noah Jarnagin Cabin was nominated to be included with the Blaine properties. The cabin is located about six miles further east across the street from another proposed limestone quarry. The New Salem Baptist Church was built in 1886 by Isaac Dockery, noted African American builder, and is Sevierville’s oldest surviving building, Sevier County’s oldest brick church building, and the only historic African American church in the county. The Gothic-revival church served the thriving African American community until the 1950s, when the last services were held by the original congregation. The church was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 2003. Sweetwater Military College was established in 1874 and was later named Tennessee Military Institute (TMI) in 1902. The 144acre campus includes 10 buildings, with the main and most iconic building dating back to 1909. In 1988, TMI closed and was sold to Meiji Gakuin University, which operated a Japanese high school called Tennessee Meiji Gakuin (TMG). The high school was first of its kind in the U.S. and served Japanese students whose parents and guardians were living in the America. In 2007, the school was permanently closed. The Stonecipher-Kelly House was built around 1814 by the first permanent white settlers in that area as part of a Revolutionary War land-grant. In 1814, Ezra B. Stonecipher constructed an unusually large, two-story log home adjacent to an area known today as Frozen Head State Park. The saddlebag style is unusual for the region, and the house retains most of its original, character-defining, architectural features. In February 2013, the house and property were added to Frozen Head State Park. In most rural areas, small one-room or two-room schoolhouses were built to serve the immediate community. No longer in use, many small rural schools were neglected and left to deteriorate. While property
owners and local historians know the locations of these schools, many in the public are unaware. In July 2017, local news coverage brought attention to Pleasant Grove School in Jefferson County. It was “found” again after being concealed by vegetation. While little background information is available for some of these rural schools, ETPA hopes to change that by developing an inventory of rural one- and two-room schools in our 16-county region. By knowing which schools remain and the threats they face, we can better promote their reuse and rehabilitation. Two properties were removed from the Endangered 8 list during 2017. One is the Old Jefferson City Hall, which was built in 1868 by John Roper Branner, one of Jefferson City’s most influential citizens, about the same time as his nearby home known as the Historic Glenmore Mansion. Much of the building had sat empty for a number of years, but a new owner has developed a plan to save the building and its future is much brighter. The second property is the c. 1893 Oliver Springs Southern Railroad Depot. In 2017, Senator Ken Yager received an East Tennessee Preservation Award for advocating for financial appropriations for restoration of the Oliver Springs Depot. Since then, lead paint has been removed, the original dormers reconstructed, and a new roof installed. ETPA encourages local preservationists to work with their legislators on funding for preservation projects. To learn more about the East Tennessee Endangered 8, visit www.knoxheritage.org/ ETPA.
The East Tennessee Preservation Alliance works to preserve the structures and places with historic or cultural significance in Anderson, Blount, Campbell, Claiborne, Cocke, Grainger, Hamblen, Jefferson, Knox, Loudon, Monroe, Morgan, Roane, Scott, Sevier, and Union counties. ETPA partners with Knox Heritage to serve as the regional arm for preservation activities in these 16 counties.

A breath of fresh air for your home Screens of East Tennessee 865.919.1615 steve@tennesseescreens.com
ET READY to let the great outdoors in! The sun is getting stronger, and the days are getting longer, and with it will come the endless ways available to your family to have fun right in your own backyard. Are you really enjoying your outdoor spaces to their full potential? In most parts of the country, if your outdoor space doesn’t include retractable screen solutions, then the answer is most likely no. Here’s why. Homeowners across the country are making significant investments creating outdoor “rooms” such as porches and lanais with kitchens complete with large, permanently-installed grills, refrigerators and work areas, luxurious fireplaces, decorative lighting, and even artwork specially designed to be weather-proof. However, the hot afternoon sun and biting insects often prevent homeowners from enjoying their new outdoor living spaces. Retractable screens provide the perfect solution to this common problem by combining indoor and outdoor spaces and promoting the outdoor living experience. Phantom Screens from Screens of East Tennessee not only provide much needed shade, but also allow family and friends to enjoy the out-of-doors during hot summer days, extending the time spent on patios in areas where there are lots of annoying bugs that come out in the evenings. Large, motorized screens are a perfect example of how to blend function with comfort. These screens can be recessed into the beams or walls of a home, thereby staying truly hidden when fully retracted. The best part about using retractable screens is that these screening solutions don’t diminish your home’s views or aesthetics, as the screens are in place only when needed. For the ultimate in elegance, many of the retractable screen solutions can be blended into virtually any architectural style. Increasing in popularity are the different custom color and wood grain finishes that are available which help to seamlessly blend the screens into existing interior or exterior color schemes. The screens can also be programmed to come down and retract with sun and wind sensors and be connected to your home’s automation system to have the screens come down at a specific time of day when extra shade or insect protection are needed. For more information about all of your retractable screen options, and to discover how to combine your home’s indoor and outdoor living spaces, visit www.phantomscreens.com.

AYTON’S TREATMENT strategies can make your yard an enjoyable place to relax and not worry about getting bitten, stung, or just plain annoyed! Mosquitoes: Truly enjoy your yard during these summer months without getting bitten by irritating, disease-carrying mosquitoes! Dayton’s Mosquito Control Management Program uses a treatment process that kills biting mosquitoes and prevents many mosquito eggs from becoming biting adults. Mosquito breeding sites lurk about everywhere, so Dayton’s thorough approach includes treating mosquito resting areas, landscaping, vegetation, trees, shrubs, and breeding sites like standing water, ponds, and waterscapes. This treatment will not harm your garden, pets, fish, frogs, etc. Carpenter Bees: These pests often return to the same area you saw them the previous year. Unseen to you, they have built chambers inside wood for laying eggs, some extending to as long as 10 feet! Dayton’s treats the source of carpenter bees. If you simply fill up the holes, they’ll just drill new holes a few inches away! Ants: Ants tramping through your kitchen in long lines? The key to getting rid of ants is to treat where they’re coming from, which is often outside, usually underground, and sometimes hard to find. Wasps/Yellow Jackets: No one likes getting stung, so let Dayton’s take the risk to destroy the nests, NOT YOU! New customers will receive 1) $25 OFF the initial service for Dayton’s Mosquito Control Management Program with a contract through October and 2) $25 OFF one treatment for warm weather pests with an annual pest agreement. Other services include monthly/quarterly/one-time pest control services, convenient quarterly perimeter pest control, pest control for ladybugs/bedbugs/other pests, fungicide/moldicide treatments, VA/FHA inspections, CleanSpace® Crawl Space Encapsulation System, and radon testing/mitigation.

Space-Saving Murphy Beds Awake to the Possibilities
M
U R P H Y B E D S have long been a solution for condos and other homes where floor space is a premium. Today many homeowners of larger homes are also opting for a Murphy Bed to make a room multi-functional. William L. Murphy invented the Murphy Bed in the early 1900s. He wanted to hide the bed in his cramped one-room apartment so he could have more space to entertain. He experimented with a folding bed, eventually receiving a patent. These beds have been helping homeowners save space for more than 100 years! Tailored Living of Knoxville, the area’s whole-home organization experts, designs and installs Murphy Beds to meet each individual customer’s needs and style. Investing in a Murphy Bed can: » Create More Space – Most families live in all their space, so a dedicated guest room is not always practical. If you’re short on space but need an extra bed, a Murphy Bed is the perfect solution. It provides flex-space for any home. You can use the room as a bedroom at night and a playroom, home office, or living room at other times. You won’t lose any space, and guests will have a very
comfortable place to sleep. » Increase Home Value – If you decide to rent or sell your home, maximizing space is an important feature for people. A Murphy Bed allows you the ability to maximize a home’s space, and it will also increase the value of the house. » Be Designed for Any Space – Designs depend on your needs and budget. Tailored Living design experts thoughtfully design each bed to seamlessly integrate into your space, proving you don’t have to compromise style when space is limited. A Murphy Bed can be elaborate or basic. Many designs include desks on one side so the room can also be a home office by day. Or the bed can be bordered by a bookcase, side cabinets, or pull-out drawers to give you extra storage. Most of all, it takes up very little space when closed, approximately 16” deep. Murphy Beds come in twin, full, queen, or king sizes to accommodate any space constraints. » Fit Any Décor – From a dark wood-grain to a solid gray finish, choose the look you want that fits your style. Also, there are also custom LED light options to ensure there is enough lighting when the bed is in use. If you want the flex-space a Murphy Bed
provides, give Tailored Living of Knoxville a call for a free consultation using their 3D design software. Let Tailored Living help you recreate your current space!

INTER IS A DISTANT memory,
and we’ll need to wait an entire year to enjoy next spring’s dogwood blossoms. Remember those precious few weeks during April and May when we opened up our windows to allow those mild spring breezes to freshen up our homes? Well, all too quickly the temperatures have risen, our windows are once again closed, and the air conditioners are turned back on. One challenge many of us experience during these periods of time when our homes are “buttoned up” is that dust and allergens are trapped inside. Every time your home’s HVAC system cycles these trapped contaminants are redistributed throughout your entire home, as is evident by the dust on your furniture. And no amount of dusting seems to alleviate the sneezing and coughing experienced by many of our two- or four-legged family members resulting from these trapped contaminants. While there is no way to totally eliminate dust and allergens in your home, there are steps you can take to significantly reduce these airborne contaminants. One sure fire way is to remove dust and allergens from your home’s carpeting and Oriental rugs. While vacuuming helps, your vacuum only removes a small portion of the accumulated contaminants that are trapped deep in the fibers of your carpets and rugs. At Superior Carpet & Rug Cleaning, a West Knoxville based company with 33 years of experience, we offer homeowners two proven solutions to dust and allergens. For your home’s wall-to-wall carpeting and upholstery, we offer a deep cleaning and extraction process that thoroughly cleans your carpets and furniture using only specially treated water from our truck-mounted cleaning plant that assures a level of clean that leaves our competition in the dust. And for your home’s Oriental rugs, we offer our proprietary 11-step rug washing process at our state-of-the-art rug washing boutique that achieves a level of cleaning that is simply not achievable using any other system. Call us today, and discover for yourself a Superior Carpet & Rug Cleaning level of clean - a level of clean that is nothing to sneeze at. You are also invited to view our proprietary Oriental rug washing system online at www.superiorofknoxville.com.

is not only a great place to save up to 90% off the original prices on top brand name furniture, home décor items, art, and Oriental rugs, but it’s also a great way to repurpose household items that you may no longer have a need for. Many of us, whether the result of a recent move, downsizing, remodeling, redecorating, updating, or new empty nesters, have accumulated items that we may no longer need that can easily be turned into cash by consigning them for resale. Premiere Consignment, conveniently located in Tellico Village, is your premier choice for reselling furnishings, home décor and art items, and Oriental rugs that you may no longer use. “Tellico Village is an ideal location for Premiere Consignment,” said co-owner Aaron Hunt. “We receive most of our consigned merchandise from Tellico Village and other nearby upscale lake and golf f ro nt c o m m u n i t i e s, including Rarity Bay; therefore, we are able to offer our customers a great selection of quality, brand name items at incredible savings.” What is as equally important is the opportunity that Premiere Consignment offers its consignors. “We offer consignors three unique opportunities to resell their consigned items,” said Aaron. “By combining our in-store showroom, significant eBay presence, and on-site estate sales, our clients have the best of all worlds and the greatest opportunity to resell their consigned items. Our retail store offers retail customers the same opportunity to browse through our existing inventory of furniture, décor, art, and rugs that exists in conventional furniture showrooms but at a significant savings. Also, our eBay store opens up an even greater chance for success. And our on-site estate sales are growing in popularity as well, representing a huge opportunity for homeowners who might find it inconvenient to transport their household items to our retail showroom.” Three stores in one, Premiere Consignment offers both buyers and sellers a totally unique opportunity to sell pre-owned items and for buyers to purchase these same items at considerable savings.

Discover Exceptional Energy Savings from Window Works & OKNA
I
N THIS ISSUE of Everything Knoxville, we asked Knoxvillebased Window Works co-owner, Chris Moon, to describe the features and benefits of replacement windows from industry leader OKNA. EK: OKNA windows has earned a reputation for innovation, quality, and performance. Tell our readers how homeow ners benef it from OK NA’s advanced technology. Chris: OKNA has invested a lot of time in perfecting the engineering of their windows and crafting its elegant design. OKNA offers a variety of custom shapes, styles, and colors to make a home beautiful and energy efficient. New windows will add value to your home by improving the curb appeal and saving you money on heating and cooling costs. OKNA’s vinyl and composite window series provide a maintenance-free, custom experience, backed with one of the leading lifetime transferable warranties available. EK: How does OKNA’s use of advanced glass coatings benefit homeowners? Chris: The glass is one of the most important elements of the window. The glass unit comprises approximately 90% of the entire window. OKNA has designed a n 1 1-l ayer e d , h i g h-p er for m a nc e reflective coating glass called HeatSeal. This heat reflective coating is made up of microscopically thin layers that act as a filter. Based on the angle of the sun, some energy is transmitted and some energy is reflected, resulting in overall savings in the homeowner’s utility bills. HeatSeal also helps to reduce UV rays up to 80%, which helps to minimize fading to curtains, hardwood floors, and furniture. 52
EVERYTHING KNOXVILLE June 2018
EK: Replacement windows from OKNA already exceed new energy efficiency guidelines set by Energy Star. How does that translate into energy savings for your customers? Chris: Heating and cooling represent nearly 50% of a home’s energy budget. Windows a nd doors a re t he most significant source of heat transfer in a home, regardless of climate or season, representing more than 40% of that total transfer. OKNA has made a considerable investment in time and money to design and engineer products that not only meet the latest energy star guidelines, but have actually exceeded these standards with their design one of the lowest air infiltrations rated windows in the U.S. The industry average for air infiltration is a 0.20 cfm/ft2 (cubic feet per minute), which is the equivalent of a large size balloon of air passing through each one of your windows every hour for 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. That’s a great deal of air passing through your home’s windows, causing your HVAC system to work overtime to compensate for this energy loss. OKNA’s windows meet a 0.02 cfm.ft2 standard, which are 1,000% better than the industry average. That is another way OKNA separates itself from other manufacturers. EK: Window Works not only sells replacement windows and doors, but you also provide homeowners with turn-key installation and service. Why is this so important to today’s homeowner? Chris: From windows and siding to patio doors and gutters, we do our very best to make every project as simple and as easy as possible for the homeowner. We are
homeowners as well and fully appreciate the benefit of having a knowledgeable company provide quality service from start to finish. Our installation team is made up of qualified installers and crew members with 25 to 40 years experience. From beginning to end, you will see, firsthand, an amazing transformation in your home while experiencing the level of respect, courtesy, and professionalism that you deserve. EK: What else would you like our readers to know about Window Works and OKNA? Chris: Window Works is a family owned and operated business with one goal in mind: Provide quality products at an affordable price. We take pride in what we do and the relationships we have made throughout the years with all of our customers. We strive to be a professional, non-pressure compa ny who va lues integrity and takes the time to educate our customers on the products we offer.

New Exhibitions Opening at the Emporium Center on June 1
T
HE ARTS & CULTURE A L L I A N C E is pleased to
present five new exhibitions at the Emporium Center in downtown Knoxville from June 1-29. A reception will take place on Friday, June 1, from 5 to 9 pm as part of First Friday activities downtown to which the public is invited to meet the artists and view the artwork. Most of the works are for sale and may be purchased through the close of the exhibition. Knoxville Photo 2018 in the Main Gallery The Arts & Culture Alliance presents the sixth annual Knoxvi l l e Photo exhibition featuring selected works Phil Savage from 34 artists throughout the region. Knoxville Photo was developed to provide a forum for photographers to compete on a Yvonne Dalschen n a t i o n a l s c a l e and display their work. The exhibition encompasses photographs depicting all subjects and genres, including streetscapes, cityscapes, landscapes, environmental portraiture, portraits, abstracts, and more. Metal & Mud: Works by Judi Gaston & Robert Gaston in the Balcony Gallery
Robert Gaston Judi Gaston will display two series as part of the exhibition with her son, Robert Gaston, who will display metal art furniture pieces, small pottery/metal works, and photography. Judi Gaston Judi is a fiber artist, designing and weaving wearables that reflect her passion for travel and witnessing various cultures. Her wearables often incorporate vintage or found pieces, linking past with present. She has received many awards, and her work appears in numerous collections. 54
EVERYTHING KNOXVILLE June 2018
In 2011, she was inducted into the Tennessee State Museum Fashion and Textile Institute in Nashville. Robert Gaston’s influences and interests include nature and insects, machines, MesoAmerican and ancient world ceramics, Japanese Sci-fi models, northern European renaissance painting, and African ceramics and architecture, to name a few. His work is simply a reflection of his interests. Robert grew up in Knoxville and graduated from the University of Tennessee (BFA) in 1989. Amanda Bonar: A Woman’s Touch in the Display Case Since the early 2 0 t h c e n t u r y, women have been a strong presence in both the American art-pottery movement and the studio movement of artAmanda Bonar ists working alone. This exhibition pays homage to the aesthetic ideals of that era and the women who made it possible. Amanda’s work focuses on combining intense surface decorations that are inspired by nature and combined with classic vessel forms. Sometimes whimsical, sometimes somber – all the pieces pay homage to the women gone before who painstakingly balanced life, work, and motherhood while creating something useful and beautiful to behold. Amanda’s pieces are rendered on the potter’s wheel or slab-built by hand with texture and alterations. All pieces are water tight, non-toxic, and oven proof. Bruce Bunting: The Alphabet Series on the North Wall The alphabet series was inspired by Bruce Bunting ’s desire to program an exhibition and create a larger body of coherent work. He typically works on a small Bruce Bunting scale, on individual pieces, and he selected the alphabet as the basis for his new series. He scoured the dictionary for inspiring words and antique shops and his attic for parts and pieces. Each of the works incorporate his handmade paper, newly-purchased parts and antiques, and some personal objects more than 20 years old. This exhibition represents the largest body of work Brue has ever made.
Barbara West Portrait Group in the Atrium The original group formed in 2001 by Barbara West, and after her death, they continued meeting in her name. Members have come from a variety of places, including the Knoxville area, other parts of the state, various parts of the Barbara West U.S., and even other countries. Their list of occupations is diverse: Photographers, teachers, architects, doctors, nurses, scientists, homemakers, and artists. The group’s members range from those who are just starting to explore art to professional artists; all use a variety of media. Although the common thread is art, the group tries to provide a strong sense of community – an important gift as they move through life. The Barbara West Portrait Group has exhibited at the Farragut Town Hall, Peace Lutheran Church, Ball Camp Baptist, and Candoro Marble. They meet every Wednesday and Saturday from 2 to 4 pm in Knoxville-area churches. The open studio is $5 to attend with a live model; no instruction is provided.

Gay Street in downtown Knoxville. Exhibition hours are Monday through Friday from 9 am to 5 pm.

Summer Safety for Pets S
UMMER IS PACKED with fun
festivities including July 4th, reunions, fairs, amusement parks, and concerts, but these are not so fun places for your pets. The noises, crowds, and heat can be stressful and dangerous for your pets. Also, never leave your dog in a car (even for a short period) and provide fresh, clean, cool water. Never use fireworks around pets, which can result in severe burns and trauma. Even unused fireworks can pose a toxic danger. Keep pets away from the noise of fireworks. Provide pets a quiet, sheltered, escape proof area. Ms. C’s Bed & Biscuits, with a full acoustical steel building, provides a relaxing, safe environment far away from the noisy outdoor world. Keep pets cool and comfortable during the hot summer. Dogs regulate their body temperature by panting and releasing sweat through the pads of their feet. Grooming is critical during the summer months. If you hear “clicks” on the floor as your dog walks,
their feet need care. Keeping their pads free of hair growth can help keep your dog cool. “We humans can put on a pair of shorts and a tank top, while our dogs or cats are still wearing a full set of fury coveralls,” said John Carrigan, groomer. “If you’re uncomfortable, your pet is uncomfortable!” Proper hair length is important. Do not completely shave your dog, as a proper coat length protects from sunburn and acts as an insulator from the heat, helping it stay cool and regulating body temperature. Daycare is offered at Ms. C’s on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays from 7:30 am to 6:00 pm. As you plan your “fun summer outing,” call Ms. C’s to arrange entertainment for your pet, plus a grooming at the same time.

Gibbon Trails and Langur Landing Voted One of 10 Best Animal Exhibits in U.S.
OO KNOXVILLE’S Gibbon Trails
and Langur Landing have been voted one of the top 10 animal exhibits in the country by USA TODAY 10Best Reader’s Choice travel awards. Gibbon Trails and Langur Landing, a $6 million multi-acre habitat for white-handed gibbons and silvered leaf langurs, officially opened on March 2. Part of the Boyd Family Asian Trek, Gibbon Trails and Langur Landing immerses zoo guests in a 360 degree aerial experience in a rainforest tree canopy. The habitats are designed with multiple viewing levels that allow the primates to pass directly over the heads of visitors or be eyeto-eye with them in a 60-foot-tall treehouse accessible by a suspension bridge. The new expansion also allows soaring views of Tiger Forest and incorporates a new outdoor training demonstration area for Malayan tigers. Gibbon Trails is home to one of the zoo’s most beloved ambassadors, Georgie. Langur Landing is home to Walter, Teagan, Melody, and Opie, a family of silvered leaf langurs that are a new species to Zoo Knoxville. “It was an honor to be nominated, and we are thrilled our public considers these
habitats among the most dynamic in the country for both animals and guests,” said Lisa New, President and CEO. “We have been focused on evolving from a great zoo for a ‘city of our size’ to being recognized as a great zoo, period. We are thankful our community supports that vision.” The complete list of winning zoo exhibits can be found at www.10best.com/awards/ travel/best-zoo-exhibit-2018. Zoo Knoxville is a non-profit entity situated on 53 wooded acres just east of downtown Knoxville. Zoo Knoxville features exhibits of wild animals in natural habitats and is
world renowned for its efforts in conservation and species survival. Zoo Knoxville is nationally accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) and is committed to the highest standards in animal care and well-being, ethics, conservation, and education. Knoxville’s largest attraction, the zoo is open every day except Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. The zoo is open Monday through Friday from 9 am to 4 pm and Saturday and Sunday from 9 am to 5 pm. Admission and ticket sales stop one-hour before the zoo closes. For more information, visit www.zooknoxville.org. June 2018 EVERYTHING KNOXVILLE

The line-up is as follows: » The Fabulous Equinox Orchestra – September 21: One of the most musically
diverse bands in the South » Del McCoury Band & Friends – October 11: The Bluegrass legend returns with friends, The Gibson Brothers, the Travelin’ McCoury’s, and Sierra Hull » Voces8 – November 9: Vocal ensemble whose repertoire ranges from Renaissance to pop arrangements » Christmas with the Annie Moses Band – December 1: An evening of Christmas music » Kinky Boots – January 12, 2019 at 2 & 7:30 pm: Two performances of this big

were so popular with our audiences. We are partnering with one of our big supporters and partners, WDVX, to bring Del McCoury Band back to the Clayton Center. WDVX presented them for a sell-out show on WDVX Live at the Clayton Center, so I thought it was a perfect fit to partner with them. New friends include the first show, The Fabulous Equinox Orchestra, who entertain with music that ranges from Appalachian Bluegrass to the smooth jazzy sound of New Orleans. Another new show is the California Guitar Trio and Montreal Guitar Trio. I have always wanted to bring them to the Clayton Center, and this season I was able to book them together. They have been a favorite of mine since I first saw them 20 years ago. We hope our patrons will be excited to see shows they asked us to bring back and embrace the new friends we introduce to them. It is going to be another great season for celebrating the arts.” The Clayton Center for the Arts, located on the Maryville College campus and constructed through a unique partnership between the College and the cities of Maryville and Alcoa, is East Tennessee’s venue for arts and entertainment. As a gathering place for the community and the home of Maryville College fine and performing arts programs, the Clayton Center provides opportunities for the lifelong expression and appreciation of the arts. The 1,200-seat Ronald and Lynda Nutt Theatre features dance, theatre, concerts, lectures, and other events.

The Heart of Florida’s EMERALD COAST
D
ESTIN, Fort Walton Beach,
and Okaloosa Island make up the heart of Florida’s Emerald Coast. Known for sugar-white sand, cascading emerald water, and long, sunny days, the Emerald Coast is a fantastic yearround vacation destination. Whether you like to golf, want to try your hand at reeling in “the big one,” or simply want to toss your towel on the sand for a few hours of relaxation, you can find that, and so much more, along the beautiful beaches of Destin, Fort Walton Beach, and Okaloosa Island. Destin is known as the “World’s Luckiest Fishing Village” and it is just that – a fishing village. Throughout the years, it has grown up to also include attractions, events, and
62
EVERYTHING KNOXVILLE June 2018
shopping. Here you can enjoy fast-paced watersports, fly high above the water in a parasail, and ride the waves to shore on a paddle board. You can also stroll the famous harbor, jump aboard a charter fishing boat, and try your own luck at sea. Don’t forget to take your catch to one of the many delicious Gulf-to-Table restaurants in town to have your catch cooked for you! Fort Walton Beach and Okaloosa Island offer a slightly slower pace while still allowing you to enjoy the emerald water and white sand beaches of Northwest Florida that you’ve come to love. Enjoy long days on the sand, splash in your Fort Walton Beach hotel or condo pool, and then head out to the boardwalk for a pickup game of volleyball.
In the evenings, enjoy a scrumptious shrimp dinner at one of the delicious restaurants on the island. Sugar White Sand & Emerald Water Yes, the sand in Destin, Fort Walton Beach, and Okaloosa Island really is sugar white and powder soft. It’s as brilliant as our photos depict – no Photoshop required! This is because the sand contains finely ground quartz crystal. At the end of the last Ice Age, the world’s temperatures began warming, icecaps began melting, and large volumes of water were carried by rivers to the world’s oceans. The rising Apalachicola River, originating in the Appalachian Mountains, carried quartz particles down into the Gulf of Mexico and
Photos by Everything Knoxville
deposited them along our coast. Over time, the sea level rose and the quartz sand formed the shoreline. This beautiful white sand remains cool even in the heat of summer and gives the water its trademark emerald color by reflecting sunlight back up through the surf. Why is Destin so lucky? The underwater 100-fathom curve, where our relatively shallow waters drop to dramatic depths, is a miracle of nature. This curve draws closer in to Destin than to any other spot in Florida, creating the speediest deep-water access on the Gulf and therefore, the speediest access to fantastic deep-sea fishing. As a result, the Destin Harbor boasts the largest and most elaborately equipped fleet in the state with more than 200 charter boats. Popular and delicious catches in the area include various species of tuna, grouper, and snapper. Blue marlin, cobia, and pompano are also easy catches throughout our waters. The Emerald Coast also yields more billfish each year than all other Gulf ports combined. In addition to great fishing, the Emerald Coast also offers breathtaking diving. Various reef clusters reveal four-foot basket sponges and purple sea whips, as well as vibrant yellow angelfish, six-foot manta rays, and protected 350-pound sea turtles. Activities, Attractions & Annual Events More than 300 festivals and events take place along our coast each year. Below, find a sampling of what to expect each season. Visit our event calendar to see more of what’s happening along the beach. Spring » Destin Cobia Tournament » Kitty Hawk Kite Festival » Fudpucker’s Four-Player Volleyball Tournament Summer » Billy Bowlegs Festival » Boat Week/Poker Run » Paddle at the Porch
Fall » Destin Seafood Festival » Destin Fishing Rodeo » Mattie Kelly Arts Festival » Emerald Coast Classic Winter » Holiday on the Harbor/Christmas Boat Parade » New Year’s Eve Beach Ball Drop » Bayou, Bay & Back Run » Mardi Gras Activities One thing you won’t hear while on vacation to Florida’s Emerald Coast is “I’m bored!” The coast is packed with things to do, see, and eat. Hit the water on jet-skis or a paddle board. Sail above the emerald water in a parasail or even a helicopter. Sink below the waves to visit with wildlife on a SNUBA or snorkeling adventure. Or climb aboard a dolphin cruise, charter boat, or even a pirate ship to sail the seas. Off the water, stay cool with a visit to our local water park in Destin, Big Kahuna’s. Or take a break from the heat yet still enjoy the sunshine at fantastic open-air shopping destinations such as Destin Commons and the Silver Sands Premium Outlets. Museums and activity centers, such as the Destin History & Fishing Museum, Indian Temple Mound Museum, and Emerald Coast Science Center, are not only educational and interesting, but fun indoor options if you need a little beach break. Delicious, local dining is available for
breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and we always recommend the seafood! Stroll the Destin harbor or visit the boardwalk on Okaloosa Island to take in a great view and some fun with your meal. To taste truly fresh, Gulfsourced fish fare, visit one of our Gulf to Table restaurants. Access by Car U.S. Highway 98 travels along the Emerald Coast, edging along the Gulf of Mexico through Destin, Fort Walton Beach, and Okaloosa Island. From I-10, exit on to Highway 85 south at the Crestview/Fort Walton Beach exit and head straight to the beach! Access by Air The Destin – Fort Walton Beach Airport (VPS) is serviced by American Airlines, Delta, United, Allegiant, and Contour. Direct flights are available from a number of cities, including Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, Memphis, Cincinnati, Washington D.C., Newark, and many more.

Add Value to Your Small Business by Serving Others B Y TO M I R M E N
IF YOU HAVE
ever wondered where small business owners derive their entrepreneurial drive, oftentimes you do not have to look any further than the parents that raised these individuals. One of eight children, my father’s life was centered around his family, so it was not surprising that he left school at an early age to help support his family after his father lost his job during the Great Depression. In fact, until my father married, he endorsed his paycheck over to his parents every payday. He never regarded his choices as sacrifices but merely something that family members did for family. When the second world war broke out, he volunteered for service in the United States Navy. I remember to this day his first-hand account of sailing into Pearl Harbor and his description of the devastation that still remained from the December 7, 1941, Japanese attack. Like most veterans of that time, he returned from the war without fanfare and immediately returned to work. He married our mom soon after, and they

But little had changed for Dad. His life remained one of hard work, with often more than one job, and a dedication to his friends and family. Regardless of what he was doing on his few days off, if any family member or friend was in need of his help, he would drop whatever he was doing to lend a hand. When our mother unexpectedly passed away at an early age, Dad was left to care for my four brothers and sisters who
remained at home. Balancing work and parenting proved to be difficult for him, and he often struggled, but he did the best he could. His life’s journey, although marked with some disappointments, was nonetheless one of service to others. He had a true love for his family and friends that he seldom expressed in words but rather by his actions. I appreciate my dad’s sense of duty and loyalty to others, and my hope is that I demonstrate these same qualities I learned from him, both in my everyday life and in my interaction with others. I am proud of my dad and know that he did his very best for his family, friends, and nation. He truly was part of this country’s greatest generation. Happy Father’s Day, Dad. My dad passed away on October 4, 2016, at age 90, less than a month before his beloved Chicago Cubs won their first world series in 108 years.

HILDREN LEARN from their parents and take on many of their traits. I am very much my father’s daughter, as I have acquired his conservative outlook, his amiable personality, and his great organizational skills, which have served me well in running my business. My dad holds a very special place in my heart, and although he has been gone for a number of years, he is still sorely missed. As a youngster growing up, my dad was always there for both of his daughters. He would do anything for us, whether it was playing catch in the backyard after his hard day at work, playing a board game in the evening, or just treating us to a day out in the park topped off with an ice cream sundae. My dad was the best. My dad was a hard worker, and he passed that strong work ethic on to me. He spent his working career as a postal employee, moving up in the ranks until the day he retired. He was dependable, responsible, loyal, even tempered, honest, and patriotic. He was a giving person who asked for nothing in return. And he was a humble person who led a humble life. His family, especially his two daughters,

meant everything to him. I remember Dad helping my sister and I with our schoolwork in the evenings, quizzing us in math and spelling and taking an interest in our education. He wanted us to have the best educational opportunities, and that meant college, which his hard work helped to provide. It was a proud day when he saw me graduate. That education was a stepping stone for my working career, and I am truly grateful for the sacrifices made by my dad (and mom) to provide me with a quality education. My dad also was a World War II veteran who landed at Normandy. He never shared his army experiences with the family when I was young. It was much later that he came to share these memories with my husband, Tom. And even then, it was difficult for him to speak about those days. My dad was not a risk taker. He would not have chosen self-employment and was skeptical about my venture as a small business owner. But he did give me encouragement
and took pride in my accomplishments. In fact, he saved every issue of both of our publications and proudly shared them with his friends and neighbors. My dad passed away in 2009 on Veterans Day at the age of 88, and I miss him every day. But many of his traits are now a part of me, and I am grateful to have had such a kind and loving Dad who was admired by his friends, neighbors, and relatives. Happy Father’s Day, Dad! And a Happy Father’s Day to all Dads.
E T I Q U E T T E by Monica Irvine
A Professional is Organized I
THINK WE would all agree that when we are organized, our lives are more productive, we have less stress, and we tend to be happier. So why aren’t we organized? Well, let’s start with a plan and see if this helps. A professional organizes their: » Time: When I think of the professionals I admire, I realize that they never look over-stressed, out of sorts, or flustered. They always seem calm and put together. I’ve come to realize that this is due to their extreme gift of organization. They have a schedule, and they keep to it 95% of the time. To get our whole lives organized, we must start with our time. How many of you use a daily planner? How many of you write down everything you plan on achieving that day on your daily planner? How many of you remember to look at your daily planner each day? Uh huh… I see where the problem is. If we want to accomplish things, we must write them down, all of them, each and every
day on our daily planner and then review them periodically throughout each day. Whether you make your daily planner in the morning or the night before isn’t relevant, but write it down. » Workspace: How do we expect to achieve, accomplish, and work when we can’t find the bottom of our desk? The first step in organizing a desk and workplace is that we must create a space for everything. You know that “junk drawer” we all have in our kitchen? Well, you’re not allowed one of those at the office. You need a file for everything and a spot for all things. Sometimes we put off getting organized, because we think it’s going to take us too much time. Take the time, maybe even a whole day or two days, but do it. Get organized. It’s actually really exciting when you finally do, because instead of just piling things on your desk in the never-ending “to do” pile, you have a system. You follow your system, and this helps lower your stress and
helps you stay focused. » Priorities: In order for us to make the most out of our days, we want to make sure we have our priorities in line and in order. Our priorities can be a number of things such as exercise, date with your wife, son’s soccer game, report submitted to court, lunch meeting with Randy, etc. We want to prioritize our day, because no matter how hard we try, there are many days when we’re not going to get it all done. This is not failing. It’s just that some days things go longer than expected, emergencies happen, and life comes. It’s important not to panic but to just re-group for the next day. When we prioritize, we do the things that are most important first to ensure that those things get done.

Clinton Glass SUCCESS
As a business owner I receive calls every day from advertising reps asking me to spend money with them. Whether it’s print, radio or television, they all suggest that their advertising method is the best way to get my message out to potential clients. They have a high hill to climb, because Everything Knoxville already does a great job of finding potential customers for us. Everything Knoxville puts out a quality monthly publication that is mailed directly to homeowners. That means my customers pull the magazine directly out of their mailbox, making it more likely for them to read. We track our client phone calls from several advertising sources, and Everything Knoxville does better dollar for dollar than any other publication I’ve advertised in. Thanks Judy and Tom!

Before Fractora
but typically after two weeks the most noticeable results appear. Improvements continue for several months after treatment. Depending on your Fractora treatment regimen, you can expect to have between one to six sessions. What is Fractionated energy? Fractionated RF (radio frequency) energy found in Fractora is a scientifically proven method to reduce wrinkles. It is minimally invasive, using a matrix of micro-needles to resurface and restore the skin, providing exceptional results with almost no patient downtime. RF energy heats the deep layers of the skin in a controlled manner to revitalize collagen. The treatment will improve skin complexion and texture for a more radiant and youthful appearance. Who can use Fractora? Fractora uses radio frequency, which is colorblind technology and can be used on skin of all color. The unique properties allow even darker skin tones to receive treatment. Can Fractora be used in combination with other treatments? Fractora can be used in the same treatment session or a few days after other treatments. Fractora can also be combined with additional energy treatments

or injectables to achieve a more extensive result. What kind of post-procedure care is required? Patients are provided a post-procedure kit to ensure optimal results. It is also recommended that patients use a good, broad spectrum sunscreen every day.
