Let's Give Thanks

November 2023 PUBLISHER

Marc Rochelson | marc.rochelson@citylifestyle.com EDITOR

Jennie Treadway-Miller | jennie.miller@citylifestyle.com

In this season of giving thanks, we often find ourselves reflecting on the many blessings in our lives. The true spirit of Thanksgiving encourages the conscious expression of gratitude. Its focus is spending time with those that you love and encourages giving back in a meaningful way. As the season unfolds, let’s focus on being present, grateful, and willing to help others when we can. Our November issue spotlights how we can help in big ways and small. We interviewed Zane and Lauren Ellis of Collective Build, who design and build custom homes here in Knoxville and partner with Homes4Homes to build safe, stable brick homes for families in war-torn Uganda. Their story is a great example of how to invest in two communities at once. Since Veterans Day falls in November, it felt right to suggest a few ways we can give back to local veterans and pay homage to those who gave their lives for our freedom. Of course, we couldn’t forget to talk about food in the month of Thanksgiving. (We are Southerners, after all!) We interviewed Adam Cottrill of SugarTree Curated Goods, a farmer from Campbell County who grows, forages, and delivers fresh produce and specialty items to all of your favorite chefs in Knoxville, Maryville, and Townsend. His knowledge about the land and what’s native to the area is unmatched. We are so thankful for the residents and businesses in our community who support so many wonderful organizations and help make our city the vibrant community that it is. We are especially thankful for our advertising partners who help bring this magazine to your doorsteps each month. They are part of our vision and purpose of bringing inspiring stories and the good news of the community directly to you.

Finding the Perfect Hair Doctor Searching for the perfect hairdresser is like hunting for a unicorn doctor – rare, magical, and totally worth the journey! Your hair deserves a trusted confidant who can decode its secrets, and let’s face it, sometimes it takes a few stylists before you find your hair soulmate. Now, just because every stylist graduates from the same hair school doesn’t mean they all wear the same superhero cape. Some have the precision of a ninja with razor cuts, while others have the power to transform with men’s cuts (think fade superheroes). Some are artists with layered cuts, inverted cuts, and color wizardry. Our profession is a colorful canvas of talents! So, don’t be afraid to hop from one stylist’s chair to another until you find your hair match made in heaven. Here’s a little secret spell to make our magic together even better: communicate! Contrary to rumors, we absolutely LOVE it when you bring a picture of your dream hairstyle. It’s like showing us the treasure map to your hair dreams, and together, we can chart the course.

Jess Howard

And if you ever feel like tweaking something about your style, don’t hold back – let us know! We’re on a mission to make you feel as confident as a superhero with their cape. Honesty is our superpower too. Sometimes, we might call on another stylist from within the salon for a specific service if they’re better suited to conjure your desired look. We’re all about teamwork in this hair league! We’re over the moon that you’ve found your perfect hair partner! Keep the lines of communication wide open and let us know how we’re doing. Leave us a review or take the survey after your appointment – we’d love to hear your thoughts and keep this hair adventure going strong!

Adam Cottrill

Growing, Foraging, and Selling Appalachia ARTICLE BY JENNIE TREADWAY-MILLER

When Adam Cottrill moved home to his parent’s farm in 2005, a sweeping 150 acres in Campbell County, he joined them at farmer’s markets to sell their produce. For years they did this, and for years, Adam felt unsatisfied, like there was a better use of their land and time. “We sold what everyone else was selling – broccoli, potatoes, stuff like that. You’re in a closed market, so everyone is competing with the same product and trying to beat prices,” he says. “We sold there for many

years. Then, I started getting to know local chefs and linked up with Jeff DeAlejandro of OliBea, which was a popular breakfast spot. He bought from me and said he’d buy everything I had left over from the market. For a farmer, it was like hitting the lottery.” By 2017, Adam knew it was time to go in a new direction. On a hunch, he went straight to local chefs and asked what they wanted. He took seed catalogs to meetings and had them point out the produce they’d like to have. CONTINUED >

“I grow things that light up a plate.”

“It was so simple. That’s all it took,” says Adam. “That’s what I’ve been interested in any way, being able to have things that others don’t or can’t get readily. There are only so many vegetables in the world. I grow mustard greens, but not the kind you see in the grocery store. I grow potatoes, but not the Yukon potatoes. I grow things that light up a plate.” By 2018, Adam started to develop a good reputation among local chefs, connecting via text or through Instagram. Today, Sugartree Curated Goods delivers to about ten restaurants in Knoxville, Maryville, and Walland. And there’s all manner of relationships, be it dropping off a week’s supply at Blackberry Farm or delivering to Chef Trevor Stockton at RT Lodge and hanging around to chat. It’s business, but it’s also personal. “Chefs are so happy to see me. Most chefs get things from local purveyors, but my stuff is on a different level,” he says. “Any greens or anything fresh, I pick it day-of. It’s picked that morning and delivered that afternoon. They’re jovial about the delivery.” It’s like giving artists the best supplies. The produce Adam grows and forages is as Appalachian as can be. From paw paws and muscadines to foraged mushrooms and Autumn Olives, he is providing local chefs with flavorful and local ancestral food. “People lived off this land for years. I like foraging because it helps dispel the cultural mythos behind what’s edible in

LOCA LLY SOU R CE D | FOOD + BE VE RAGE

the wild and what’s not,” says Adam. “I mean, I’m not a chef. I just tell them what I have, and they say yay or nay. There’s a type of sumac that’s red and it’s used in Indian spices, but it’s native to the area. So, I sold a fair amount this year. It grows on the side of the road, so people pass it all the time.” Though Adam’s parents moved to East Tennessee from Florida in 1972, his heritage is deeply Appalachian. He spent many summers and holidays visiting family in West Virginia, where his ancestors landed in the 1800s. Over the years, as Sugartree Curated Goods grew, so did Adam’s curiosity about other foods he could grow, forage, or curate. He took to the internet and connected with like-minded farmers and growers, which ultimately led to curating truffles and caviar. With partnerships all over the world, Adam built a unique supply business that benefits every patron who dines at these local restaurants. “I sell everything I raise, and it’s just me for the most part,” says Adam. “This year I grew cabbages on request, and then I grew some wax beans, which were a fun project. I grew them just for fun, so I didn’t put them on the list. I just asked a chef if he wanted them and he said yes without even asking the price. They know it will be good.” Follow Sugartree Curated Goods on Instagram @sugartreecuratedgoods. Contact Adam by phone (865) 406-1399 or email sugartreegourmet@gmail.com.

How to Build a Community in Two Places at Once

I NSP IR E D BY | PR OFESSI ONAL S E RVI CE S

Zane and Lauren Ellis moved home to Knoxville from Nashville in 2015 with years of construction and design experience under their belts. Driven by a passion to fill the gap for custom-built homes, they started Ikon Homes, built their first spec house in Bearden in 2017, and sold it almost immediately. Word of mouth

spread, and soon the pair hired a superintendent and an office manager to keep things moving efficiently. By 2022, the Ellises decided to rebrand their company to better reflect their values. Now called Collective Build, the company is focused on two main missions – building thoughtful, creative

custom homes with local craftsmen and putting the same love and energy into building homes for people in need in northern Uganda through the Homes4Homes program. “It felt right to have a fresh start. The Collective name was the idea because it is a collective effort among local craftsmen and tradesmen. CONTINUED >

NOVEMB ER 2 0 2 3

| C I TYL I FE STYL E . C OM/WE ST KN OX V I L L E

We work with a lot of local businesses, so we have a real sense of community effort here. We’re building new homes and developing new areas of town where we can add interesting architecture,” says Lauren. “The other part is that we have a collective trust in our employees and encourage them to be a part of giving. One way we do that is by giving to Homes4Homes in Uganda. We want to make an impact there and here.” Lauren had been to Uganda several times before marrying Zane, so when the pair visited the country together, it didn’t take long for the idea to brew. By 2019, they knew they wanted an important and impactful philanthropic arm for their company. The couple commissioned Walter Oketta, who grew up in the African bush, to conduct a study to see if there was a need for homes and what that project might look like. Months later, they learned about Homes4Homes, an organization already doing work on the ground. The partnership was a natural fit. For every home built in Knoxville, the Ellises donate a portion of their profits to Homes4Homes which translates to a home built in Uganda. It’s a one-for-one model that has helped people in dire need. “These homes are smaller, about two or three rooms, but they’re built to be safe and secure,” says Lauren. “This is something we take for granted. People were living in huts with thatched roofs and dirt floors before, so for them, it’s life-changing. It impacts the community beyond a home for a single family. It’s putting money into the economy through skilled labor, and by providing their home, they can use their money for other things, like school or health care, which aren’t free.” Homes4Homes was established in 2015 as a nonprofit to supply funds for housing needs to those living in impoverished countries. Driven by the Biblical command to care for widows and orphans, the organization partners with individuals and companies in real estate to fuel the process. CONTINUED >

“They aren’t using mission groups or flying anyone in to build these homes,” says Zane. “They use local labor to make the bricks, so they’re teaching others to do a skilled job. There’s no big box store or hardware store to go to for supplies.” For the Ellises, their sense of purpose drives their work, leaving footprints in both their hometown and in communities in Uganda. A home is more than a building. It’s a place of refuge and comfort, and for everyone at Collective Build, a sense of community is integral to the process. “We always offer a closing gift to our homeowners. We have a local artist [Britton Sharp] do a watercolor painting

of their new home here plus a painting of the home built in Uganda,” says Zane. Collective Build is currently working on new properties on the riverfront in South Knoxville and planning new customs for local homeowners. As the company grows, so does its impact, both locally and internationally. Over the years, the Ellises have learned that when purpose is placed over profit, the possibilities are endless.

PASSING ON A TRADITION But, he’s a natural. I’m still working at my age because I enjoy it and seeing him so happy means a lot to us. He told me the other day that this is not even like work. Darrell: That’s how it feels. I wake up excited every day to come out to the shop. That’s something I haven’t felt about my work in a very long time.

ALLAN, WITH DARRELL HERE, ARE YOU GOING TO SLOW DOWN A BIT?

ARTICLE AND PHOTOGRAPHY BY AMY CAMPBELL

DARRELL BENTON CARRIES ON THE FAMILY BUSINESS AT BENTON’S SMOKY MOUNTAIN COUNTRY HAMS

LOCA LS ON LY | L IFE + CULTURE

Allan Benton has made a national name for his business as owner of Benton’s Smoky Mountain Country Hams in Madisonville. Allan’s son, Darrell, has recently made a major career change and has joined the “Ham House” full-time.

IS THIS JUST THE BEST NEWS? Allan: Amy, honestly, it’s never mattered to me at all whether it stays in my family. I did what I did because I enjoyed it. If he enjoys it, that’s great, and I want him to be happy above all. He seems the happiest he’s been since he was a kid. I watched him when he graduated college, and he sat out a year to get into med school. I told Sharon, I said you know the skill set that he has. He knows how to talk to my customers, how to treat my customers. He makes good sound business decisions. Those same skills will help him to make a great medical practice someday, never dreaming that he’d come back in the business.

A: I’m 76, and I’ve slowed down already. I used to work 70-hour weeks and I just can’t do that anymore. Up until he came into it, I’m probably averaging around 50 hours a week and that feels like a slow pace compared to what I used to do, so it doesn’t bother me. I forewarned him that he might be walking around an old man for a long time. As long as I have good health, I can’t imagine sitting down.

DARRELL, WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN DOING ALL THESE YEARS BEFORE THIS? D: Before this, I was practicing as a physician, and a radiologist in Knoxville. Leading up to that were many, many years of medical training. Each day I would do a handful of procedures. I enjoyed the time and contact I got with patients, and the chance to care for them in that way, but the rest of my day I was in a small dark room staring at computer monitors reading X-rays, CT scans, MRIs, and other medical imaging. You end up feeling very isolated and don’t get that connection with people and a chance to talk with people. It starts to take its toll after a while at least with my personality. It’s a lot of stress, especially when you are taking calls, covering multiple hospitals. There aren’t many bacon emergencies. So, this has been a nice change in that regard.

DARRELL, I HEARD THAT YOU AND YOUR LOVELY WIFE (MEGAN) GOT TO CHAPERONE YOUR DAUGHTER’S FIELD TRIP AND ALSO THAT YOUR SON ASKED YOU TO EAT LUNCH WITH HIM AT SCHOOL ON ANOTHER DAY. I DOUBT THOSE THINGS COULD HAPPEN IN YOUR PREVIOUS LINE OF WORK. D: We sure did. Some better scheduling flexibility has its perks too. That would have never happened as long as I was a practicing physician. And that day, he was so excited that I was there. Told me thank you many times. Told me thank you Dad for coming and having lunch with me. Can’t put a price on that. So many people come in here and tell me that the smell of this place takes them back to memories of the smokehouse their grandparents had. There are other ways to serve people besides medicine.

THREE WAYS TO HONOR VETERANS DURING THE HOLIDAYS

Project Healing Waters

ARTICLE BY JENNIE TREADWAY-MILLER

Initially known as Armistice Day, November 11 was designated a day of observation in 1919 by President Woodrow Wilson to honor veterans whose lives were lost during WWI. In June 1926, Congress passed a resolution to commemorate November 11 each year, and by 1938, it was designated a federal holiday, though it wasn’t until 1954 that Armistice Day officially became known as Veterans Day. Unlike Memorial Day, which honors American service members who died in service to their country, Veterans Day pays homage to living service men and women who served honorably. This month, we’re suggesting three ways you can help veterans who are still with us but also honor those who’ve gone before us.

VOLUNTEER WITH PROJECT HEALING WATERS Founded at Walter Reed in 2008, Project Healing Waters is a nationwide program designed to show disabled veterans a different sort of therapy, one deeply connected to nature and built on camaraderie. “We’re not professionals by any means, but we teach them fly tying, rod building, and how to cast. Our Knoxville group has an outing at least

every weekend. It might be in the Smoky Mountains or Tellico, and sometimes we go out of state for a long weekend,” says Joe Noe, deputy regional coordinator over the Tennessee Valley and local program lead. “It’s all free for the veteran. The only thing we charge is friendship and time.” Generous donations keep the program going, but in-person volunteering is just as welcome. Perhaps you’re equipped to help a beginner on the water, or maybe you have a knack for tying flies. You could host an outing or help with transportation. Maybe you can provide meals for the veterans or offer support for a fundraiser. Whatever the task, the goal is always the same: to effectively serve the deserving past and present members of the Armed Forces who have made great sacrifices in the service of this nation. “I got started in 2019 and then took over in 2021 because it saved my life,” says Joe. “Getting around other veterans who have a common ground, like fly fishing, helps us shut down our minds. I don’t hold a limit on the number of people who can help.” Visit ProjectHealingWaters.org to learn more or contact Joe Noe at joe.noe@projecthealingwaters.org to get started.

HonorAir Knoxville

DONATE TO HONORAIR KNOXVILLE For the last 15 years, HonorAir Knoxville has taken more than 4,000 veterans from WWII, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War on a free, all-day trip to the nation’s capital to visit the memorials built “to honor their service and sacrifice.” Currently, the organization plans two trips per year, and each one is volunteer driven. To accommodate each flight at no cost to the veteran, the entire program relies on donations from generous community members and businesses. Every flight has a professional photographer and videographer to capture the day’s events, while volunteer escorts make sure everyone gets where they need to go with ease. Additionally, there is medical staff present on every trip in case of a health emergency. Friends and family members gather at McGhee-Tyson as the flight returns to warmly welcome each veteran back home, and it’s this part that requires more volunteers. “That’s what we hear affects them the most – the welcome home celebration,” says Jan Rector, front office coordinator of HonorAir Knoxville. “Come to the airport. Bring balloons and signs. They are so touched by how many people come and welcome them home.” The next HonorAir flight is scheduled for Wednesday, April 10. The return flight should arrive by 7:40 p.m. Each HonorAir trip costs approximately $500 per veteran, and every dollar donated goes straight to the cost of the trip for the veterans and not towards administrative fees. Donations are accepted via PayPal and by check. Learn more at HonorAirKnoxville.com

Wreaths Across America

PARTICIPATE IN WREATHS ACROSS AMERICA Held nationwide each December, Wreaths Across America was founded in 2007 to expand the existing annual wreath-laying ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery, which began in 1992. The organization’s motto – Remember the fallen, Honor those who serve, Teach the next generation the value of freedom – is the primary focus as volunteers place live, balsam wreaths on millions of headstones across the country. Last year, more than two million people showed up across 3,702 locations nationwide. More than a third of those volunteers were children.

G IV IN G BAC K | LOCA L SERVI CE S

This year, Wreaths Across America is scheduled for Saturday, December 16. The ceremony begins at noon at the Knoxville National Cemetery on Tyson Street, with wreath placement immediately following. With more than 8,700 veteran graves to honor, volunteers are needed to get the job done. You can sign up as an individual or group. However, if attending the event isn’t doable, you can sponsor a wreath (or two, or five) at $17 each. Each wreath is hand-crafted and hand-tied with a red velvet bow at the organization’s headquarters in Columbia Falls, Maine. Visit WreathsAcrossAmerica.org/Pages/17151/Overview to learn more.

At the nonprofit Knoxville History Project, we are always on the lookout for old images for our Knoxville Shoebox digital collection. If you have interesting photographs, postcards, or brochures, from any era, we’d love to hear from you so we can preserve the visual history of Knoxville and make it available for researchers of the future. Old family photos might show interesting scenes or buildings. Posters and photos from musical shows also have fascinating stories to tell. We are interested in all eras, especially more recent decades not yet covered by local archives and collections – and images of South Knoxville for our current book research. Please email us at paul@ knoxhistoryproject.org. Special thanks to Bearden resident Alec Riedl for sharing these old Knoxville postcards with us.

RESIDENCE OF L.D. TYSON

Residence of LD Tyson

Still standing adjacent to Hodges Library on the University of Tennessee campus, the Tyson House was originally built for Lt. Lawrence Davis Tyson (1861-1929), a young cavalry officer who had served in the U.S. Army out west against Geronimo’s Apaches. Tyson married a Knoxville heiress, Bettie McGhee, and earned a transfer to Knoxville to lead the university’s military science program. He spent the rest of his life as a Knoxville businessman, lawyer, and ultimately a politician, but rejoined the army during major conflicts such as the Spanish-American War and World War I where he was promoted to brigadier general. The Tysons moved into this house in the 1890s. In 1908, they employed aging architect George Barber, whose famous Victorian designs were out of style, to rebuild the exterior to look neoclassical. Today, the house, with the interior remarkably intact, serves as the Tyson Alumni Center.

Williams Bluff

WILLIAMS BLUFF Williams Bluff, about a mile and a half east of downtown, is an old name for the high ground near where Williams Creek enters the Tennessee River. Both are likely named after Col. John Williams (1778-1837), a former U.S. senator and ambassador whose residence still stands on Dandridge Avenue. Williams was an outspoken opponent of several of the policies of Andrew Jackson. He was also great-great-grandfather of the playwright Tennessee Williams, who visited his house (near here on Dandridge Avenue) more than once. The view here looks toward Col. Perez Dickinson’s Island Home estate, circa 1890s. The actual island, which today serves the Downtown Airport, is known as Dickinson Island, but was previously known as Williams Island, once owned by the Williams family.

Aerial View of Dowtown

AERIAL VIEW OF DOWNTOWN This aerial postcard of downtown Knoxville taken by Thompson Brothers is dated 1919. That firm was established by prolific photographer Jim Thomson in 1902, whose majestic prints of the Smokies helped the area be selected to become a new national park in the 1920s. However, aerial images such as these though would have been taken by his brother, Robin Thompson, who joined the business after World War I. Robin had trained at the United States School of Aerial Photography at Rochester, New York. Notably missing to modern eyes is the Henley Bridge, which wasn’t completed until 1932, and built to connect Knoxville with a new highway (later named Chapman Highway) that would take locals and tourists to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

A FAIR SHAKE Published by the Knoxville History Project, A Fair Shake by local historian (and KHP partner) Laura Still is a handy guide to the major people and places involved in the fight for women’s rights. The title was a motto of Knoxville’s leading suffragist, Lizzie Crozier French. Illustrated with dozens of photographs, the book includes short bios of French and colleagues, as well as descriptions of landmarks strongly associated with suffrage, many of them long gone, but some still there. Laura Still is the owner and chief guide for Knoxville Walking Tours. Learn more at KnoxvilleWalkingTours.com

The YWCA building on the corner of Clinch Avenue and Walnut Street was completed in 1925, replacing a former doctor’s house, which originally served as the organization’s headquarters. According to research by historian Laura Still, a cornerstone was laid containing a history of the local YWCA, related newspaper articles, a pamphlet about the proposed Great Smoky Mountains National Park, a list of 300 building workers, and on the top, an open Bible. An inscription still clearly visible from the sidewalk near the front entrance reads, “DEDICATED TO THE GLORY OF GOD AND THE SERVICE OF WOMANHOOD, 1925.” The building’s star turn came in 1999, when its lobby (standing in for a hotel in Indianapolis) appeared in the major motion picture October Sky, starring a young Jake Gyllenhaal.

To Everything There is a Season

ARTICLE BY PAYTON VESTRAND | PHOTOGRAPHY BY BEN FINCH

M ON E Y M AT T E R S | FINANCE + LE GAL S E RVI CE S

Autumn is a time of change. As the temperatures cool and the days grow shorter, we experience nature’s transition from the warmth of summer to the crispness of late autumn. The temperate climate of East Tennessee affords us the unique opportunity to see this pronounced shift before our very eyes. It’s the transformational aspect of fall that many of us love. In fact, 41 percent of Americans rank autumn as their favorite season -- and I wholeheartedly agree! What is possibly better than cheering on your alma mater with friends, going on a long drive to see the leaves, or simply enjoying a slice of pumpkin pie? But if you are anything like me, there is an ever-present thought in the back of your head that this brief period of transitional bliss will draw to a close as winter approaches. Football season draws to an inevitable close, the pumpkins on our front porch spoil, and peppermint replaces pumpkin spice as the flavor du jour. This subtle transition we experience each year recalls a fact that we know all too well- the only constant in life is change. As adults, we experience life’s constant changes from the first moment of independence. Some of these changes we welcome with open arms. And other times we wish we could hit pause and enjoy a specific season of life for just a bit longer. What changes have you experienced in the past year? Maybe you welcomed a child or grandchild to the family, switched careers, picked up a new hobby, or traveled somewhere new that left an indelible impression on you. No matter what season you currently find yourself in,

you are sure to be experiencing both uniquely sweet moments and distinctive challenges. Each season of life also comes with its unique financial circumstances. For example, the financial goals and priorities of a young couple just starting their careers will look different from those of a developed family with an eye toward retirement. It’s natural for your financial intentions to change as you progress through the seasons of life. You will accomplish some goals. But other times your priorities will shift. Maybe you have never reflected on your goals and priorities as it relates to your finances. The holiday season can be a great time to do this. I recommend carving out some intentional time with your spouse or family to assess your current goals and discuss what changes you would like to implement as you transition into life’s next inescapable evolution. As you watch nature transform around you this fall, reflect on your current season and give thanks for the sweet moments of today while looking forward to the experiences that are still to come. Take time to examine how your financial goals have evolved and reflect on your plan for the next season, come what may.
