Catholic youth help beautify
Bachman Community Center
Several members of the Alive In You Catholic Conference and Service Camp
make their annual visit to Chattanooga. Twenty-one youth and three counselors
recently spent three days helping out at Bachman Community Center painting,
clearing brush, pressure washing, weeding beds and several other tasks. The
Bachman board of directors is extremely appreciative of the energy, friendship
and hard work delivered to Bachman again this year.
After receiving a complaint
at its regularly scheduled July
14 meeting, the Signal Mountain
Town Council is seeking to slow
down cars on Arden Way in Hidden Brook.
“I’m sure you’re aware over
the past 10 years the influx of
small children who have moved
into the area. I also know you
are aware [speeding] is an issue,”
Arden Way resident Ross Clingan
said to the council. “My question
is simply this: What does the
town plan to do to control the
speed and protect the children
and the drivers that drive through
the community?”
Town Manager Boyd Veal
said this is one of the areas of
town that produces the most
complaints about speeding vehicles. The Signal Mountain

McCoy property gets closer to construction
By Kelsie Bowman
Staff Writer
Walden officials
are one step closer to
making construction at
the McCoy property a
reality.
At its regularly
scheduled July 8 meeting, the Board of Mayor
and Aldermen gave
Vance Travis of TWH
Architects Inc. the goahead to produce the
construction documents
necessary for the project.
During the meeting,
Travis told the board he
estimates construction
costs will be $415,350,
with a site cost allowance of $80,000. That
amount does not include the construction
of an attached assembly
room, which could cost
an estimated $250,000.
(Read previous coverage
at community.timesfreepress.com/news/2014/
may/28/walden-oksplans-mccoy-property.)
The board also voted
unanimously to hire
March Adams & Associates Inc. for the project.
For $8,600, the civil engineers will work alongside Travis on the plans,
which include parking
areas, stormwater pol-
lution prevention, tree
preservation and more.
The board chose to
work with
March Adams over
two others: Barge
Waggoner
Sumner
and CanDavid
non and
Epperson
ASA Engineering
Consulting Inc.
“Cost is a factor [in
the board’s decision] but
it’s not the only factor
we should be viewing,”
Mayor David Epperson
said before the vote.
“We don’t have to base
it solely on a low price
quote; we can base it on
qualification.”
March Adams has already worked on the site
and is familiar with the
project, he explained.
“Our architect [Vance
Travis of TWH Architects] knows their work,
has worked with them
before and is working
with them now,” Epperson said in a follow-up
interview.
Bachman Community Center accepting
donations for August’s Highway 127 Sale
Staff Report
The Bachman Community Center is
now accepting donations for the Highway 127 Sale. The center is interested
in donations of household items, clothing, jewelry, shoes, books, electronics,
small appliances and toys that are in
good condition. No computers, soiled
items, reference books or encyclopedias, car seats or large furniture items
are being accepted as these either cannot be sold in the small space or are
not popular resale items.
Donors can receive a receipt for
their charitable gifts if they drop their
donations off during Bachman’s hours
of operation weekdays from 9 a.m.
to 3 p.m. or Saturdays from 9 a.m to
noon.
The Highway 127 Sale is one of the
largest fundraisers of the year and the
proceeds from the event help offset
operating expenses and fund renovation projects. Consider not only cleaning out your closets before the event
but also stopping by during the sale.
Bachman will be open 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Police Department uses
speed reduction devices
like flashing signs at the
location, but Veal said a
discussion to look into
the issue further is on the
council’s next work session agenda.
The session is tentatively scheduled for Friday, Aug. 1 at 9 a.m.
Speed bumps are an
option, said Veal. Councilman Bill Wallace asked
Clingan if he had heard
any thoughts from his
neighbors about speed
bumps.
“Most people are for
speed bumps,” said Clingan. “It seems to be the
only thing that most people believe would solve
the issue.”
Mayor Bill Lusk asked
Veal if the police department could increase patrol in the area. Veal said
that it could, but Clingan
said he feels that is only a
temporary solution.
“I don’t think there’s
any way the police can
be there all the time,”
Clingan said. “It’s a major
thoroughfare. There’s
literally children at every
house on my street and
there’s also young teen-

agers learning to drive.
It’s a recipe for disaster.”
The street has seen an
increase in traffic flow
for years, said Veal. The
opening of Signal Mountain Middle/High School
and even Nolan Elementary made the traffic flow
increase even more.
“It wasn’t intended as
a cut-through street; it’s
been made a thoroughfare because of traffic
diverting off of Timberlinks [Drive], looking for
a shortcut to get up to
James Boulevard,” said
Councilman Dick Gee.
“I know signage probably is not sufficient, but
we’ve got to address and
control traffic where
we want it to be. You’ve
got more [drivers] and
they’re younger. That’s
a bad combination for a
neighborhood.”
Veal said all the possible options would continue to be discussed at the
next work session.
“We have addressed it
as we are able with patrol
radar and signage, but we
recognize that there are
other options,” he said.
“The first thing we need
to do is establish the way
we will evaluate those
options.”

The Nail Bar opens on Signal
By Emily Crisman
Editor
Fans of Pretty Nails
at the foot of the mountain will be pleased to
learn that the owner
of that nail salon’s son,
Wayne Huynh, and his
girlfriend Jeanny Khinsavath have opened
The Nail Bar in the
former Three Black
Sheep space on Signal
Mountain.
Opened July 11, The
Nail Bar maintains
the same high level of
cleanliness that Pretty
Nails has long been
known for.
“It’s a friendly atmosphere, and they do a
consistently great job,”
said customer Carol
Bishop. “I’ve been coming to them [at Pretty
Nails] for years.”
Customer Gail
Chapman said she
loves the convenience
of being able to drive
to The Nail Bar in just
five minutes.
“It’s also extremely
clean, which is very important,” she said.
The Nail Bar is a
full-service nail salon
offering manicures,
pedicures, acrylics, gel
polish, solar nails and
polish changes.
Hixson residents
Huynh and Khinsavath
said they are planning
to move to the mountain soon.
“We like the community and the schools,”
Khinsavath said.
They chose their
location because it
is right in the middle
of the action on the
mountain, she said.
The Nail Bar is at

Over the past 15 years,
St. Augustine’s presale
before the Highway 127
yard sale has become
known as one of the best
organized sales around.
“We have people lined
up to get in every year,”
said sale organizer Karen
Vessels. “We’ve been doing it so long that people
know it’s coming.”
Many of those attending even know where to
find their favorite departments, as the sale is
always organized in the

“We’ve actually had

necessary, cleaned and

The only thing not accepted is clothing.
She said the most interesting thing they have
sold is a June bug that
landed on a volunteer’s
shoulder last year. A
customer asked her how
much it was and she sold
it to him. They have also
come across many collector’s items and things

penguin chick to the colony. The proud parents, Chaos and Merlin, stay busy snuggling their baby in the nest
and seem to enjoy showing it off to everyone. This new Macaroni penguin is the first for the 2014 season and
it’s possible that aviculturists will remain very busy this season with additional chicks. Visitors can see the
new chick inside an acrylic “playpen” on the right-hand side of the exhibit. It will remain inside this protective
barrier for several more weeks before it will be allowed to roam outside the nest. The chick’s gender will be
determined during a blood test later this year. At that time, a Facebook contest is planned to find the perfect
name for him or her.
