Summertime is Magical

SUMMERTIME CAN SEEM LIKE A MAGICAL SEASON. The kids are out of school, the sunshine seems never-ending and there’s no shortage of adventures that await. For many, summer evokes fond memories of childhood: sleepaway camp, family vacations, swimming until your fingers shrivel like prunes, catching fireflies, cookouts and eating freshly picked fruits and vegetables.

We also celebrate our nation’s independence, host parties for our friends and family and, maybe if we’re lucky, take a road trip. In this issue of West Knoxville Lifestyle, we want to remind you how summer is a season of opportunity.

When’s the last time you played tourist in your hometown? We invite you to check out "Five Little-Known, Must-See Historical Spots in Knoxville" with your own local historian, Jack Neely, as your guide. This month is also a great opportunity to discover our local music scene at various venues like The Shed in Maryville, in "Come on Over," where you can eat, drink and be merry while sitting outside listening to a

A Q&A WITH LOCAL HISTORIAN JACK NEELY

Five Little-Known, Must-See Historical Spots in Knoxville

ARTICLE JENNIE TREADWAY-MILLER | PHOTOGRAPHY CHAD HERNANDEZ

16

West Knoxville Lifestyle | July 2019

WHEN JACK NEELY GRADUATED FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE IN KNOXVILLE WITH A DEGREE IN AMERICAN HISTORY, HE DIDN’T FORESEE BECOMING THE CITY’S GO-TO PERSON FOR LOCAL AND REGIONAL HISTORY. He wanted to be a journalist, and his first bylines appeared in The Daily Beacon.

Post-graduation, he became a history columnist at Citytimes, and he worked for the 1982 World’s Fair. By the mid-’80s, Jack was writing history features for the News Sentinel, and by 1990 he’d proposed a downtown walking tour featuring Civil War, country music and literary history.

It was when he started the “Secret History” column at the Metro Pulse in 1992 that the spotlight started to shine on Jack as Knoxville’s personal history buff. His columns morphed into a book, and Jack enjoyed a long run with the Metro Pulse until it folded in 2014. That’s when the Knoxville History Project, an educational nonprofit, started to take shape. Today, Jack serves as the executive director of KHP, where his research and writing continues.

“I’d always wondered why Knoxville never emphasized its own history, with a society or a museum or full-time city historian or something, considering we do have a pretty extraordinary history that should be a major asset,” he says. “We’re headquarters of the wonderful East Tennessee Historical Society, but that’s a 35-county organization, representing about 2.5 million people from Bristol to Chattanooga. And a lot of cities within that zone, like Bristol and Chattanooga, and even Farragut, have their own strong historical advocates. Why not Knoxville?”

HOW DID YOU SELECT THESE FIVE MUST-SEE HISTORICAL SITES? It was tough. There are lots of established tourist sites that are fascinating and not as well-known as they should be, but they do have organizations and websites. I picked things that dependably surprise lifelong Knoxvillians when I bring them up. Some are becoming better known, but I’m convinced that three-quarters of Knoxvillians have never visited these, and tourists rarely do.

UNION MONUMENT AT THE NATIONAL CEMETERY WHY IS THE UNION MONUMENT SIGNIFICANT? The National Cemetery is an impressive relic of the Civil War. Unlike other Civil War sites, it was never forgotten or left to ruin. It looks today very much like Burnside and his command planned it in September 1863. Today, it’s home to more than 9,000 graves. More than a third are from the Civil War—hundreds of them marked Unknown, and dozens of them graves of black soldiers who were members of the occupation forces. The rest are from more recent wars, and among them is a particularly famous fellow named Neyland.

HISTORICAL SPOTS IN KNOXVILLE

(CON TI N UED)

WESTWOOD’S STUDIO ROOM WHO IS ADELIA LUTZ, AND WHAT ARE HER ROOTS TO EAST TENNESSEE? Adelia Lutz has been called Tennessee’s first professional female painter.

Though I’m not sure she ever made a living purely from her work, she exhibited her work far and wide and got some attention away from home, especially at some of the expositions of the late 19th century. Except for study at the Corcoran and a year in Paris, Adelia lived her whole life in Knoxville. She grew up at Bleak House, across the street.

18

West Knoxville Lifestyle | July 2019

RACHMANINOFF STATUE HOW DID KNOXVILLE WIND UP WITH A STATUE OF SERGEI RACHMANINOFF? Rachmaninoff is one of the greatest composers of the 20th century and one of the last composers whose work is recognizable to people who aren’t classical-music scholars. He performed here once in the ‘20s but later had to cancel a show here due to a scheduling conflict and felt bad about it. In 1943, he was 70 years old and was making one more tour of America when he fell ill. Because he had canceled Knoxville before, he didn’t want to do it again, and just before he canceled his tour, he summoned the strength to do one more show, at UT’s Alumni Auditorium. He didn’t realize how ill he was and died a few weeks later of cancer. A little-known Russian sculptor named Viktor Bokarev made a statue of his personal hero, Rachmaninoff, and wanted to donate it to the place in America where Rachmaninoff had last performed, and that happened to be Knoxville.

SPEEDWAY CIRCLE WHAT DO KNOXVILLIANS NEED TO KNOW ABOUT CAL JOHNSON? Cal Johnson has a story unlike any other in American history. He was raised to be a slave and was a teenager when he was emancipated at the end of the Civil War. Through hard work and family connections, he started businesses and bought property in Knoxville. He was best known for his chain of saloons, which catered to both black and white clientele. He loved horses more than anything else, and after leasing a horse-racing track on the south side of the river in the 1880s—exactly where Suttree Landing Park is now— he built his own racetrack in East Knoxville near Chilhowee Park. Johnson’s Racetrack was the city’s last and most durable horse-racing track and also the site of the region’s first airplane landing in 1910. Later, it was a car-racing track. Now it’s a neighborhood. But the street is still Cal’s half-mile oval.

MCCLUNG COLLECTION READING ROOM WHAT AREAS OF STUDY OR RESEARCH WOULD PATRONS BE SURPRISED TO FIND IN THE MCCLUNG COLLECTION READING ROOM? The books in the reading room are what you would expect in a good regional historical library: lots of histories arranged by county. McClung has an extensive collection of hundreds of thousands of newspaper clippings, especially about people.

What makes the room unique is its history and its beauty. With very high ceilings, Victorian ornamentation, big windows out onto Market Street and intriguing original oil paintings on the wall, it may be the most beautiful room in town, with the possible exception of a few sanctuaries.

ARTISTRY AND ALCHEMY

(CON TI N U ED)

The unique brews featured on Elkmont Exchange’s 24 taps are made possible by its state-of-the-art brewery, featuring a mash filter, one of only two of its kind in Tennessee. Unlike most brewing equipment, which requires soaking processed grains in large vats, the mash filter makes the same strength beer using fewer raw materials and less water, therefore a lower impact on the environment. This also allows for using uncommon ingredients, like unmalted grains, spices, fruits, coffee and even hemp. Brewmaster Chris Meadows compares traditional brewing equipment to drip coffee whereas the mash filter is more like espresso.

UP YOUR OUTDOOR FUN WITH INSIDE EXERCISES ARTICLE ANDREW HENDERSON

SUMMER IS HERE, AND SO ARE THE OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES THAT GO WITH IT! Whether it’s on the water, the trails, the courts or in the yard, being fit for the outdoors make these activities much more enjoyable. Here are some of my favorite, slightly “non-traditional” exercises that we use with our clients to help them water ski, kayak, tee-off, serve, rock-hop, pedal, and yes, weed their flower beds, while staying injury-free!

STAY BALANCED WITH BOSU SQUAT AND RESISTANCE BAND ROW Why: Improves balance by mimicking the instability of being on water skis, wakeboards and paddleboards while strengthening our back and posterior shoulder muscles. This exercise will drive the heart rate up quickly due to all the large muscles being used, and your quads will thank you for the extra work when you’re hiking up House Mountain or pedaling the greenways.

How: First, evenly space your feet on the BOSU ball, and get comfortable standing and then squatting.

When you’re ready, hold onto a resistance band or cable machine handle, and pull your elbows behind you as you pinch your shoulder blades together.you've reached your flexibility maximum, be still for a moment before slowly getting out of the pose the same way you entered it. Repeat on the second side.

FANCY FOOTWORK WITH AGILITY LADDER DRILLS Why: Not just for the serious athlete, these drills teach your brain and feet to connect, while helping you master quick change of direction and coordination. This drill is perfect for tennis, hiking and may make you a better dancer!

Drill No.1 One-Leg Hops: From the ball of your foot, hop forward from square to square, while maintaining balance and posture. Keep your knee slightly bent. For beginners, start with two feet first. Try hopping sideways or backward for more challenge.

Drill No. 2 Lateral Shuffles: Start with each foot in a box.

Advance into the next box with your lead foot, and follow with the trailing foot. Keep your elbows bent, knees soft, and try to get faster as your footwork improves!

POWER UP YOUR GAME WITH KETTLEBELL SWINGS Why: Develops power in your glutes, hamstrings and lower back while reinforcing good posture. This exercise applies to just about any activity under the sun.

How: Start with a light kettlebell. Keeping your knees slightly bent, start by reaching the kettlebell back through your legs (like snapping a football). Then thrust the hips forward, creating the momentum to make the kettlebell “float up” to eye level. Keep your arms relaxed and spine straight.

Don’t forget to warm up well before trying these exercises
