Lakeshore Pavilion is latest jewel added to beloved Knoxville Park | Opinion

Lakeshore Park celebrated the opening of the Lakeshore Pavilion with a ribbon cutting on the highest hill at the beloved Knoxville park. Simon Bradbury, the new CEO of the park, was joined by Mayor Indya Kincannon. Lakeshore Park was created 35 years ago when Tennessee Gov. Ned McWherter agreed to transfer the land that had housed a mental health hospital to the city. It is now managed by the Lakeshore Conservancy with the city assisting and the city mayor serving on its board of directors. The local effort to create the park was led by Jimmy Haslam III and attorney Caesar Stair III, along with me when I was mayor. The first challenge was to demolish the old buildings that came with the land. The hospital at one time housed more than 2,000 patients. Longtime Knoxville arborist Jim Cortese has received the 2026 Distinguished Achievement Award for Human Issues in Horticulture from the American Society for Horticultural Science. He wrote "John Muir Climbs a Tree and other Tree Tales," which is available from various bookstores. More about him can be found at www.wjimcortese.com .

Blount County Animal Center Dog of the Week: Blu

Over in Blount County, a family was putting together their Thanksgiving Day table. They had the tablecloth, candles, place settings, and of course, the main centerpiece, the cornucopia. Stuffed with apples, pears, grapes, and flowers, it sat right in the middle of the table. Suddenly, it started to rock back and forth, and a few apples toppled out of it. As the family leaned in closer to get a look, a tiny, furry paw shot out of the horn, accompanied by a strange panting. The smell of Fritos enveloped the room as the cutest little face burst out. “Hi! I’m Blu, and I’m thankful for food!” Blu cried. Blu decided to help the family plan out their Thanksgiving meal. “I think we’ll start with some bacon-wrapped bacon, then some bacon and green beans, sans green beans. For our main course, I think it should be turkey. Can we stuff it with bacon?” Blu asked. When the dinner was ready, everyone went around the table to say what they were thankful for. When it was Blu’s turn, he thought long and hard. He was certainly thankful for a lot of things, like toys and treats, but what he really wanted was
