Published by the City of Knoxville’s Office of Neighborhoods to report news important to Knoxville’s residential neighborhoods. News & calendar deadline: 9 a.m. Tuesdays.

 

  1. Dandridge Avenue Names New Officers

 

Angela Bourne has been elected president of Dandridge Avenue Neighborhood Watch, replacing Lawrence Washington, who became vice president. In addition, Sarah Bounse was elected secretary, replacing Stephen Scruggs.

 

  1. Fourth & Gill Elects Officers, Board Members

 

Jenny Wright has been elected to serve as president of the Fourth & Gill Neighborhood Organization in recent elections for the board and for board officers. She replaces Liz Upchurch, who cycled off the board.

 

Jackson Whetsel, son of two former presidents of the organization (Bob and Melynda), was elected vice president. Nina Martyris and Nina Phalen were elected secretary and treasurer, respectively.

 

Other board members and their duties are Dustin Boruff, Codes; April Ellis, Communications; Ben Auerbach, Finance & Development; Diana Rogers, Neighborhood Center; Gerry Moll, Parks & Beautification; Shannon Parks Denton, Social; and Mary Anne Hoskins, Welcome.

 

Martyris, Boruff, Rogers, and Parks Denton are new board members. In addition to Upchurch, those cycling off the board were Daniel Sanders, Laurie Meschke, and Bill Murrah.

 

  1. Neighborhood Luncheon Draws 450 for Awards, Networking

 

Approximately 450 neighborhood leaders, city and county officials, and other citizens participated in the Neighborhood Awards and Networking Luncheon last Saturday.

 

Over 100 city neighborhoods were represented, along with over 22 city and county departments and community agencies.

 

Keynote speaker Daryl Arnold — pastor of Overcoming Believers Church and a member of the advisory team for Mayor Madeline Rogero’s Save Our Sons initiative — addressed the epidemic of gun violence among African American men and boys, challenging both individuals and neighborhood organizations to get involved.

 

He pointed out that the tragic shooting death of Zaevion Dobson last December — while remarkable for the young Fulton High School student’s bravery and sacrifice — was one of many, many senseless deaths in the African American Community over the last decade.

 

Noting that all young people need a sense of purpose and the comfort of a safe place, he urged everyone to seek out existing youth service organizations and to support them with volunteer time, talent and monetary donations. He also challenged employers large and small to take a chance on youth and young adults to help them get started on a career path.

 

The multi-faceted event also included the “Bringing It All Back Home” Community Showcase, information booths and presentation of the Neighborhood Achievement and Good Neighbor of the Year awards.

 

Community Television filmed the event. The slideshow presentations and the luncheon program will air on CTV starting at 11 a.m. Thursday, March 10, and again at 5 p.m. Saturday, March 12. CTV is available on Xfinity (Comcast) Channel 12, Charter Channel 193, WOW! (Knology) Channel 6, and AT&T U-verse Channel 99.

 

  1. David Gillette Named Good Neighbor of the Year

 

David Gillette of Mechanicsville was named the Diana Conn Good Neighbor of the Year in a ceremony at the Neighborhood Awards & Networking Luncheon this past Saturday at the Knoxville Convention Center.

 

Gillette, born and raised in Mechanicsville, was honored for his leading roles in putting on the Mechanicsville Homecoming, engaging in community outreach and obtaining funding for and making arrangements to create and install a neighborhood entrance sign. He also went beyond the call of duty helping a neighbor care for her ill husband and sister, and then taking her into his own home after their subsequent deaths to make certain she would not be alone.

 

Gillette was chosen from a field of 11 individuals who were nominated by their neighbors for the award, which is given annually by the Neighborhood Advisory Council. All 11 were recognized and honored for their acts of kindness toward neighbors and their involvement in their neighborhood organizations and/or communities.

 

The other 2016 nominees and their neighborhoods were:

 

— Kirk Anderson (Timbercrest)

— Calvin Chappelle (Parkridge)

— Brian and Debra Douglas (Island Home Park)

— Jewell Garren (Moss Creek)

— Stuart Hall (West Haven)

— Lloyd King (North Hills)

— Patrick McInturff (Fourth & Gill)

— Nancy Smith (Inskip and The Highlands)

— Charles “Monte” Stanley (Old Sevier)

 

The award, named for the late Diana Conn of the Old Sevier Community, is presented annually to a Knoxville resident who — in a spirit of cooperation and with commitment to inclusive community — has devoted time and talent in service to his or her neighbors and neighborhood.

 

  1. Seven Neighborhoods Receive Achievement Awards

 

Seven city neighborhood organizations were honored Saturday at the Neighborhood Awards & Networking Luncheon for the work that they do creating and sustaining their organizations, making neighborhood improvements, and building community.

 

The seven groups that received Neighborhood Achievement Awards were:

 

Edgewood Park Neighborhood Association, for its perseverance and the creative energy it has devoted to bringing neighbors together to foster a sense of community;

 

Fountain City Town Hall, for a highly successful, 40-year run of “Honor Fountain City Day” and the thousands of hours of community service that have made it a Memorial Day tradition in Knoxville;

 

Lake Forest Neighborhood Association, for deploying its creative energy and volunteer spirit to boost neighborhood pride and enhancing the positive image of South Knoxville;

 

Lindbergh Forest Neighborhood Association, for reviving the organization and for embracing diversity, confronting adversity and building community;

 

Mechanicsville Community Association, for ten successful years of the Mechanicsville Homecoming and for its representation of the issues and concerns of Mechanicsville residents;

 

RiverHill Gateway Neighborhood Association, for giving voice to the residents and institutions on Knoxville’s downtown riverfront; and

 

West Haven Village Neighborhood Community, for bringing residents together for a stronger, friendlier and more enjoyable neighborhood.

 

  1. Volunteers Were Key to Luncheon Success

 

The Office of Neighborhoods extends its deep appreciation to the 100-plus individuals who helped make the Neighborhood Luncheon a great success.

  1. This Friday: Learn How to Help Neighbors with Energy Makeover

 

Here is a great way for a neighborhood organization — or just one neighbor — to help neighbors who may be struggling with high energy bills.

 

The Knoxville Extreme Energy Makeover program (KEEM) is looking for committed volunteer Neighborhood Ambassadors to help spread the word about saving energy and money through energy efficiency and KEEM.

 

If you would like to be trained to share this valuable information with your neighborhood, church, business or community organization, please attend an information session and lunch at the Regas Building, 318 North Gay St., on Friday, March 11, at 11:30 a.m.

 

RSVPs are required as space is limited and lunch is provided.  Contact Jennifer Alldredge at jalldredge@ase.org.

 

This luncheon will be the first of many Neighborhood Ambassadors meetings. Ambassadors will receive training to communicate basic information about Savings in the House and the KEEM project. All ambassadors will be given fliers and print materials to hand out, an online Savings in the House Webinar, and a PowerPoint to use for presentations as needed.

 

KEEM is a TVA-funded program to provide energy upgrades for 1,200 homes in Knoxville.  It is a $15 million program that will conclude in the fall of 2017. Eligible homes will receive upgrades that will reduce energy consumption and increase in-home comfort.

 

  1. Meet Your Farmer Friday

 

The Knox County Health Department (KCHD) and Nourish Knoxville are providing an opportunity for consumers to meet more than 10 local farmers and learn how to buy produce directly from them.

 

The Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) Fair will be held from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m.  Friday, March 11, in the Community Room at the health department, 140 Dameron Avenue. This event is free and open to the public.

 

CSA programs provide a way for consumers to buy a weekly box of produce directly from a farmer during the growing season. Many of the farms accept SNAP EBT for their CSA shares. The participating farms include Abbey Fields, Care of the Earth Community Farm, Colvin Family Farm, Crooked Road Farm, Garden Delivery CSA, JEM Organic Farm, Lacewing Farms, Mountain Meadows Farm, So. Kno Food Co-op, Spring Creek Farm, Terraced Gardens Farm and others.

 

More information is available by contacting KCHD Public Health Educator Katheryne Nix at Katheryne.nix@knoxcounty.org or 865-215-5170.

 

  1. Fair Housing Conference Set for April 1

 

Registration is now open for the 2016 Fair Housing Conference to be held Friday, April 1, at the Foundry in downtown Knoxville from 8 a.m.-3 p.m.

 

Sponsored by the Equality Coalition for Housing Opportunities (ECHO), the event this year is named “Building a Vision of Equality: One Day at a Time” and covers topics such as Hoarding and Reasonable Accommodations, Evictions Related to Domestic Violence, and Health Risks Associated with Discrimination.

 

Seminars will be led by housing and health professionals from the Tennessee Human Rights Commission, Legal Aid of East Tennessee, Tennessee Fair Housing Council, and Pellissippi State Community College.

 

The cost is $65.00 per person and includes a continental breakfast and lunch. Scholarships — available to low- and moderate- income residents — cover the cost of the registration fee and, if requested, transportation. Contact Jennifer Bell (see below) if you are interested in applying for the scholarship.

 

Submit your online registration and payment at http://echoknoxville.com, where you can also learn more details. Contact Jennifer Bell at 865-403-1234 or jbell@kcdc.org, or Thomas Boehm at 865-974-1723 or tboehm@utk.edu.

 

Dress is casual. Wear comfortable shoes for an afternoon walking tour.

 

  1. Second “Open Streets” Event Set for May 15

 

With support from the City of Knoxville and the Transportation Planning Organization, Bike Walk Knoxville will seek to build on the success of last fall’s Open Streets event on North Central Avenue.

 

The second “Open Streets” — also on North Central — will be held from 1-6 p.m. Sunday, May 15.

 

If you or your organization would like to provide a game, class, or activity, you can apply to do so here. Direct inquiries to this email address.

 

Learn more about and see pictures of last October’s event on this Inside-of-Knoxville blog post.

 

  1. Use Saturday Hotline to Report Possible Codes Violations

 

Call the City of Knoxville’s Saturday Inspections Hotline – 865-755-2531 – if you wish to report possible zoning violations, non-permitted construction, parking in front yards and other matters that cannot wait until a Monday call to 311.

 

Between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. on Saturdays, a City inspector answers calls and visit sites of concern. Please do not use the hotline for matters that can wait until a week day. This is not a general complaint or help line. It is intended solely to report zoning violations and non-permitted construction that is occurring only on the weekends, when inspectors are not normally available to check out a complaint.

 

Property owners unsure about commercial construction permitting can call 311 during weekday business hours to speak with Plans Review and Inspections office staff. Business owners also can contact Patricia Robledo, the City’s Business Liaison in the Office of Business Support, at 865-215-3155.

 

For residential construction projects, citizens can check a list of items that require permitting by visiting www.knoxvilletn.gov/plansreview or by calling 311 during regular business hours.
