  • Phil Hicks, left, Dr. Mark Hall, center, and Dwayne Cutshall look over an array of 33 solar panels on the roof of Blount Veterinary Clinic in Maryville on Dec. 8. Hicks and Cutshell represent Alternate Energy Group, which installed the solar system on the roof of the clinic. Hall, who owns the clinic, says he expects the system to completely pay his next electric bill due later this month.
  • Thomas R. Webber, director of the Heritage Planetarium, stands behind the control console at the facility. Behind him is the device that projects the night sky onto the ceiling.
  • Under the watchful eye of a court officer, Tracy Lyn Fox, 34, accepts the business card of the attorney appointed Friday to represent Fox. Fox is charged in connection with the slaying of Wanda D. Britt, 69, of Knoxville. Britt's body was found Oct. 9 on a trail off Quarry Hollow Road in Blount County.
  • Confederate Gen. George Dibrell and his Colt Model 1851 Navy .36-caliber revolver are shown using images from the Library of Congress, including a drawing by Alfred Waud. The White County Heritage Museum in Dibrell’s hometown of Sparta, Tenn., recently purchased the firearm from a private collector with the help of a $10,000 donation from an anonymous Knoxville-area resident.
  • Maryville’s classic downtown district still has vibrant businesses housed in buildings built in a bygone era. The area is a contrast to the explosive growth the city has experienced and that it expects more of in the future.
