Farragut High seeks $1 million for technology By Sandra Clark

Rain Barrel Workshop May 21 In partnership with the Water Quality Forum, the town of Farragut is hosting a Rain Barrel Workshop from 10 a.m. until noon Saturday, May 21, at the Farragut Town Hall. This workshop will educate participants on the water quality and water conservation benefits of rainwater harvesting as well as the practical elements of building and installing the rain barrel. Every participant will receive a 55-gallon rain barrel ready for installation including all necessary hardware and downspout connections. The cost for the workshop is $40 per barrel. Due to a limited number of barrels, advance registration is required by contacting Kellie with the UT Water Resources Research Center at kcaughor@utk.edu or calling 974-2151 (include the workshop location, number of attendees, number of rain barrels, email and phone number).

Concert to feature Natalee Elkins Holston Middle School choral director Natalee Beeler Elkins will present a benefit concert for Jaymie Lamb, who is being treated for thyroid cancer. The concert will be at 3 p.m., Sunday, May 1, at the Episcopal Church of the Ascension, 800 S. Northshore Drive.

Thomas Deakins is leading the charge for technology upgrades at Farragut High School. He’s operating from his volunteer position as vice president of the FHS Education Foundation. “Tiles for Technology� will cover the commons area of the school with signature gray tilesand navy lettering with size and design based on contribution level. Deakins said Farragut High has just 273 working computers for the 1,800 students enrolled. “The town of Farragut has been a great help, and the foundation raises $30,000 to $40,000 annually,� he said. “But this (campaign) is a win-win, both academically and aesthetically.� The foundation just completed a drive in which each senior could purchase a tile for $100. The tiles will be clustered in one wing and each year’s senior class will be encouraged to buy tiles for another wing. This makes for a $40,000 annual fund for replacements. Community members and businesses can help Farragut High get technology “tile by tile,� said Deakins, tearing a phrase from the Butch Jones playbook. To help, contact Deakins or assistant principal Kim Gray. Information is available online at bricksrus.com/order/fhsef/

Farragut High School assistant principal Kim Gray and FHS Education Foundation vice president Thomas Deakins show various sizes of tiles available for purchase. Deakins’ goal is $1 million to purchase computer carts for each classroom holding a computer for each student.

MPC asks for better-looking auto parts store By Wendy Smith The random inclusion of a site plan for a store in Grove City, Ohio, caused the Farragut Municipal Planning Commission (MPC) to take issue with a site plan for an O’Reilly Auto Parts store at 10870 Kingston Pike. The Farragut property, a former gas station, will be redeveloped. Elevation drawings for the Grove City store were included in last week’s MPC agenda packet as one of a few examples of other stores. Commissioner Noah Myers liked the entryway of the Grove City store better than the one proposed by Annette Hommel of Site Inc. He expressed regret about not asking for an upgraded Costco store, and asked for some of the design elements of the Grove City auto parts store to be incorporated into the Farragut store. The board approved the site

plan subject to the applicant working with staff on design changes, and approved a variance from the Driveways and other Accessways Ordinance to allow right-out-only access onto Kingston Pike with just 200 feet of separation from Thornton Drive. Commission discussed a request to rezone a 16-acre parcel west of Briarstone Subdivision on Turkey Creek Road from R-1 (Rural Residential) to R-3 (Small Lot Single Family Residential). The R-3 district has a minimum lot size of 8,500 square feet, while R-1 has a 20,000-square-foot minimum. David Robinette of Site Inc. said 35 lots are planned for the parcel, which has one existing home. Commissioners discussed a drainage problem in Sailview, the subdivision west of the parcel. Assistant Community Development Director Ashley Miller said the

new development could improve drainage in the area. Robinette said that while the lots are small, the homes will be expensive. The MPC will vote on the request in May. Commissioners discussed a request from Myers Bros. Holdings to amend front yard setbacks in commercial, and potentially office, zoning districts. Currently, front yard setbacks in C-1 (General Commercial) zoning are determined by proposed placement of driveways and parking lots. Front yards with parking lots require an 80-foot setback, and front yards with driveways require a 60-foot setback. If there are neither, the setback is 40 feet. Reducing the setback to 20 feet would incentivize bringing buildings closer to the road, said Myers. Benefits would include no longer having 20 feet of unusable space,

the ability to divide parking lots into small pods beside and behind buildings, and improving visibility for businesses. The reduced setback wouldn’t be a mandate, but would provide more flexibility. Miller said staff would begin working on proposed language for an amendment. For the second month, MPC discussed the creation of a Mixed Use Neighborhood (MUN) Commercial District. The zoning district would allow for development of small-scale, walkable developments that include both residential and commercial properties. Several commissioners said they liked the concept, but aren’t sure if Farragut is ready for commercial development in close proximity to residences. Community Development Director Mark Shipley said he would continue to refine the concept.

DeAlejandro to speak at Pellissippi graduation By Sara Barrett Krissy DeAlejandro, executive director of tnAchieves, will speak to graduates of Pellissippi State Community College at this year’s spring c o m m e n c e m e nt ceremony May 6. “Although I talk in front of people a lot, admittedly, I’m nervous,� says DeAlejandro DeAlejandro. “I often tell students I am very much like them, and I understand how intimidating the process of getting an education can be. But it can change your life.� DeAlejandro grew up in rural Warren County, southeast of Nashville. Her mother didn’t

graduate from high school, and neither of her parents graduated from college. “I always knew I was going to college, maybe because I’ve always been very competitive. “As a first generation, low-income, rural college student, I will share a few lessons from my experience,� DeAlejandro said of her commencement topics. “I want students from similar backgrounds to understand that what might seem like an adversity is really an opportunity. I truly believe that higher education changes life trajectories. It certainly changed my life.� After graduating from Sewanee, DeAlejandro worked as an adjunct professor at PSCC teaching political science and college success before helping launch

DeAlejandro oversees the Tennessee Promise last-dollar scholarship in 54 counties. “tnAchieves has been sending students to Pellissippi State since 2009, so I’m excited that many of our students will be in the audience graduating this year. “I’ve had a long and very supportive relationship with Pellissippi State throughout the tnAchieves journey,� DeAlejandro said. “I look forward to sharing my experiences working with students the last eight years – I do believe many of these students will go on to do great things.� Each tnAchieves scholarship recipient must complete eight hours of community service prior

to each semester, and DeAlejandro says what started as a minor point when creating the program has now become a shining jewel in its crown. “Much of our work is rooted in community service,� she says. “If a student is interested in nursing, we encourage them to find community service in that field. It helps them find a niche and a career.� Since its inception, tnAchieves recipients have completed more than 540,000 hours of community service. Pellissippi State president L. Anthony Wise Jr. says DeAlejandro “has been a great partner to Pellissippi State in rolling out the knoxAchieves, tnAchieves and Tennessee Promise access programs. To page A-3

Creating art from nature at Founders Park Jasper Shelton, 8, on his way to becoming a face-painted pirate. From rock painting to splashing water in the creek there was something for every child to do at Art in the Park for Kids, presented by TDS Telecom and held at Founders Park at Campbell Station last Sunday. Hosted by the Farragut Business Alliance and the town of Farragut, the event was part of the Dogwood Sophie Porter, 3, pauses to show off her kitty face paint.

government Stirring up trouble Shopper columnist Victor Ashe got a few folks upset with his prediction last week that West Hills residents would get the sidewalk they requested with a 7:30 a.m. walk on Sheffield Drive from Wesley Road to West Hills Elementary School on Vanosdale. Ashe pointed to safety concerns and support from three members of City Council: Vice Mayor Duane Grieve, George Wallace and Marshall Stair. State Rep. Martin Daniel wrote council members in support of the project, drawing fire from at least two who resented the interference. “Tell Martin and Victor that they should go to England if they want to represent the privileged class. No landed gentry here,� wrote Nick Della Volpe. And Mark Campen wrote: “I’m all for sidewalks and understand the obvious need for one in this area, but if all it takes to move a particular area up the priority list is having an organized walk and having the media show up, I’ll have the TV cameras rolling in the fifth next week! “There are some particularly dangerous areas in Inskip where kids walk along sections of road that could really use sidewalks too, as it is in every district.�

No comments yet from Mayor Madeline Rogero or the remaining four council members: Brenda Palmer, Nick Pavlis, Daniel Brown and Finbarr Saunders. ■Jim McIntyre being hired by UT to teach educational leadership is like bringing Captain Bligh from HMS Bounty around to teach seamanship. Lauren Hopson could play the role of Fletcher Christian, who led the mutiny. When the new school board takes office in September, just two of nine members will NOT be former teachers. Until Mike McMillan, I can’t remember another former teacher serving on the board. A school principal should represent and advocate for her teachers to the superintendent and policy makers, not passively impose mandates from people who have never been in a classroom. Until McIntyre understands why he lost Knox County Schools he should not be training future administrators. What was UT thinking?

A killing at Danny Mayfield Park With some exceptions, mostly when writing obituary columns, I try to avoid using the pronoun I on this page. But sometimes there’s no way around it. This week is one of those times. When posts started appearing on my Facebook feed Saturday-before-last announcing that another Knoxville child had been shot by gangbangers, all I could think was, Dear God, not again. The story kept getting worse as the blanks got filled in. This victim was 12 years old and a cousin of Zaevion Dobson, the Fulton High School sophomore who became a national hero last December after he died while trying to shield two neighborhood girls from a burst of gunfire aimed at kids sitting on a friend’s porch. This time, the victim’s name was JaJuan Latham. He and his father had attended a celebrity basketball game dedicated to Zaevion that evening, and afterward they’d stopped to pick up one of JaJuan’s friends who was attending a cookout. JaJuan was sitting in his daddy’s car when the bullets started flying. Early reports said it happened on Moses Street. Later information was a fist in the gut: Danny Mayfield Park. Danny Mayfield was re-

Betty Bean lentlessly exuberant, selfdisciplined, faith-driven and so optimistic that he thought he could do anything he put his mind to – even beat bone cancer. More than anything, he dedicated his life to saving kids. If that sounds melodramatic, tough. That’s who he was. He’d come here from New Jersey to attend Knoxville College, met a girl named Melissa on the bus to Knoxville, married her and had two children, finished school and lived the rest of his life in Mechanicsville, within blocks of the barren little acre that would be named for him after he was dead. He and Chris Woodhull founded a street ministry called Tribe One, which was dedicated to saving young people from the dangers of the street. I got to know him shortly before he decided to run for City Council. It was considered a major political upset when he was elected at the age of 28, but he was pretty much stymied in office by most of his colleagues, who resented his upstart ways. But he tried. And he cared. And he inspired. His

Danny Mayfield Jr. public suffering brought out the best – and the worst – in people, many of whom banded together to support the young family while a few circled and schemed and looked for ways to take what he had. It was excruciating to watch, but Danny’s faith in God and his fellow humans was unshakable. His gratitude was boundless. One of the speakers at his funeral was a Tribe One alumnus, a young man who described what Danny meant to him. This is part of what he said: “We had just come in from playing basketball, and we were talking about guns, and why do we carry guns. I always had an answer. I said that if I didn’t have a gun on me the night before, I probably would have been dead if I hadn’t shot back.

“Right then, he started crying in the middle of the meeting. I remember it like it was yesterday. Around this time a lot of young dudes were dying and stuff. Our first reaction? We laughed. We were cracking up. Not right in his face, but we said, ‘What’s wrong, dude?’ “And he said he was crying for us. He just wanted us to see, to get the message. ‌ He looked straight at me and said I was who he was crying for. I knew exactly what he meant. He was crying for me, but he was really crying for us all. Today, I get that feeling when I talk to people who don’t see what I see – you want to reach inside of them and turn a knob so they’ll get it.â€? Last week, I visited the makeshift memorial on the corner of College Street and Moses, where balloons and flowers and teddy bears and a little stack of handwritten notes promising never to forget JaJuan and puddles of congealed candle wax are arranged on the sidewalk outside Danny Mayfield Park. Who invented balloons with durable black matte surfaces suitable for writing eulogies to murdered children? And who knew that the park named for Danny would become a killing field? This is not the legacy he worked so hard to leave us.

Get away to St. Helena Two months ago in February, I visited an island that had been on my bucket list for years. It is St. Helena, a British Overseas Territory located in the South Atlantic Ocean between Africa (Angola is 1,200 miles east) and South America (Brazil is 1,800 miles west). St. Helena is best known as the final site for the exile of Napoleon Bonaparte after his defeat at Waterloo in 1815. He lived there until his death in 1821. It is also the home of Jonathan, the world’s oldest known living reptile (a tortoise; more on him later). Just getting there is not easy. There is not yet an operating certified airport. One has been built at great cost but it has not been certified. The only way to travel there was on the RMS St. Helena (the monthly mail ship), which travels from Cape Town, South Africa, to St. Helena. It is a five-day voyage each way. The ship, after leaving passengers and freight at St. Helena, continues north 700 miles to Ascension, which hosts an American air base, and returns a few days later

Victor Ashe

to St. Helena to return to Cape Town. So I flew by way of London and Munich to Cape Town, arriving a few days before the ship was due to sail. The ship is half freighter and half passenger. But five days in a finite area of space gets old quickly despite good food and efforts to break the routine with games, movies and reading. The ocean was calm both ways as February is summer in the Southern Hemisphere. There is not a harbor, so ships anchor in the ocean and a tender brings the passengers and cargo to shore. If the ocean is too rough, then passengers stay on ship or land but not between. One usually stays on the island for eight days. Time goes quickly as there is much to do. Accommodations range from basic to

quite nice, mostly on a bedand-breakfast basis. There are 4,100 permanent residents and usually about 100 tourists at one time. Only 900 tourists visited in 2015. A governor general is appointed by Queen Elizabeth II on the recommendation of the prime minister. He and an elected council govern the island. I had a car rental to drive on the 80 miles of paved, one-lane roads, which made it easy to get around, but the roads were often steep with sharp turns and curves. Longwood, where Napoleon lived, was a fairly simple house lacking the imperial trappings he had left in France. He was basically under house arrest for the five years he lived there. He could go anywhere on the island if accompanied by British troops (guards). He was buried there in 1821 and his remains were moved to France in 1840. France maintains the empty tomb and house today through a French representative on the island. The tortoise Jonathan is believed to be 184 years old. No one knows for cer-

tain other than he arrived from the Seychelles in the 1880s and was thought to be close to 50 then. He lives in the front yard of Plantation House where the governor general resides. He is well cared for. In fact, he is hand-fed twice weekly by caretakers. Living with him are three much younger tortoises. Other sights include volcanic scenery, whales, dolphins and snorkeling. There is little industry on the island. There are few beaches. Tourism is believed to offer plausible economic vitality but it has a long ways to improve to attract significant numbers. For more information and pictures, go online to sthelenatourism. com and check out the website for the RMS St. Helena, which is rms-st-helena.com For visitors, there is much to discover about Napoleon, hiking and walks, whale and dolphin watching, snorkeling and knowing you are on one of the most remote places on this planet but still in a civilized area under the British crown. Internet is spotty and expensive. Phone service is adequate.

An area of research is honeybees. One of the prohibited items to be imported or carried by arriving passengers is honey. Worldwide, honeybees are disappearing in large numbers. But not in St. Helena where they flourish due to its remoteness. Some believe St. Helena may be the one place that saves honeybees worldwide.

I was helped in anticipating what I would see by Edgar and Lyn Faust, who live in the Hardin Valley area, who had been to St. Helena in the 1970s when they sailed around the world for three years and stopped there. They are the only other folks from here who I know have been there. If you know of others, do share the information with me.

The Infertility Journey

Mother’s Day Mammography Special

If getting pregnant has been a challenge for you and your partner, you are not alone. Ten to 15 percent of couples in the United States are dealing with infertility due to a single cause or a combination of factors. Coping can be extremely difďŹ cult and the emotional burden is considerable. If you are having this experience, we invite you to attend our new support group. While we can’t always change our circumstances, we can hopefully change the effect they have on us.

Early detection of breast cancer with mammography means that treatment can be started earlier in the course of the disease, possibly before it’s spread.

Most women don’t notice the symptoms of heart disease until it’s too late. On average, women typically wait about 54 hours before contacting their physician. That’s why heart disease has been called the silent killer. Join us for educational activities, demonstrations and the opportunity to learn your risk for cardiac arrest, heart attack or death.

Optimism regarding this upcoming season is running briskly ahead of logic and reality. Tennessee is good but not good enough to take any SEC foe lightly.

Tubman on the $20: Money and politics Everyone complains about money in politics. Republicans object to the money funneled into campaigns from big labor. Democrats complain about money coming in from big business. Lately, folks in both political parties complain about so-called super PACs and their billionaire donors. We’re used to money in politics. Last week, we learned there can even be politics in money. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew announced that Harriet Tubman will replace President Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill. With that, the Obama administration is playing shrewd politics. Harriet Tubman lived an incredible life. Born a slave, Tubman escaped slavery through sheer wit and with the help of the Underground Railroad. Tubman later worked to guide others to freedom, earning the name

Scott Frith

“Moses” for leading an exodus of slaves to the North. During the Civil War, Tubman served as a Union spy and assisted American troops in defeating the Confederacy. If that weren’t enough, Tubman went on to participate in the women’s suffrage movement and lived to the ripe old age of 91. There are few greater American stories than Harriet Tubman’s. Without question, Tubman’s life merits honor on U.S. currency. Contrast the life and accomplishments of Harriet Tubman with the life and presidency of Andrew Jackson.

Andrew Jackson was a Tennessean, hero of the War of 1812, and a populist who threw the eastern establishment out of the White House. Yet other parts of his legacy make him an easy target. First, Andrew Jackson was a slave owner. Second, Jackson, in violation of federal law, forced the removal of Native Americans from their eastern lands to the frontier west. This “Trail of Tears” is often cited by historians as an American genocide and resulted in the deaths of thousands of Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek and Seminole. These stains on Andrew Jackson’s legacy make him a perfect foil for the Obama administration in an election year. African-Americans make up a significant portion of the Democratic party’s base. What better way to en-

courage African-American supporters than replacing a slave owner on the $20 bill with a freed slave? It’s good politics. Even better, some have even used the new $20 bill to criticize Donald Trump. President Jackson was a hot-headed populist who sought to overturn the established order. The same is often said of Trump. The Obama administration, by highlighting Jackson, not only encourages its own base, but also takes a notso-veiled shot at the favorite for the Republican nomination. Trump refuses to be outdone. Playing to the strengths of his candidacy, Trump calls the currency change mere “political correctness.” It may be. Of course, in an election year, everything is political.

Vol fan shares 50 years of memories

By Cindy Taylor Enjoy a great, homecooked meal at Rami’s CafĂŠ while also helping a great cause. From 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Thursday, April 28, Rami’s will donate 10 percent of sales to The Manor at Northgate Terrace. Rami’s owner, Basel Natour, is extending his hours for the event, presented by the Greater Knoxville Sertoma Club. Usually, Rami’s is open for breakfast and lunch. The Manor at Northgate Terrace supplies supportive services to seniors who need a little help but wish to remain independent. Those 60 and older can live in a private apartment setting in a facility that caters specifically to individuals who have daily living issues often associated with aging. Residents are charged a flat monthly fee along with rent based on their income. The Manor offers two meals daily, weekly cleaning and laundry service, personal checks on residents, a personal emergency response system and many other amenities. Teresa Lawson is the supportive services coordinator at The Manor. “I eat at Rami’s at least once every couple of weeks,â€? she said. “I was there with a Manor advisory committee member for lunch one day discussing fundraising. We decided to approach the owner, Basel Natour, and ask if he would consider helping.â€? Natour has owned Rami’s since January 2015. He says he was excited to help. “I like to step out and support worthy causes in my community. This is our third fundraiser. It helps us, and it helps the causes we support.â€?

Barbara Stone has lived at The Manor for the past year. “I have made a lot of friends there,� she said. “I have had some health issues and been through chemo. I don’t have to worry about cooking, and the staff has taken really good care of me.� Even with residents paying much of the cost, help is always needed to fund the facility. Lawson says that supportive services

are not covered under HUD or public housing. With limited income, residents cannot afford the full cost of the services The Manor provides. Natour and Lawson hope the community will rally around the residents and support them by bringing family and friends to enjoy a wonderful meal at Rami’s tomorrow (April 28). Rami’s CafÊ is at 3553 North Broadway. Event info: 403-1410, ext. 1411.

Folks of a certain age will really appreciate Bob Arnold’s first book, “Through Orange Colored Glasses: Memories of a Big Orange Fan.� Arnold saw his first game on Oct. 15, 1960, when Tennessee beat Alabama 20-7 on Shields-Watkins Field. As a resident of Dayton, Tenn., Arnold was especially proud of his hometown star, quarterback Andy Kelly, and his contributions to the Vols. Bob colored his van orange and white; he wore the school’s colors often; and he kept notes of virtually every game he watched. His book is a diary, chronicling his feelings through the ebbs and flows of the more than 50 seasons he watched the football Vols compete, according to a press release. Bob had professional assistance from historian Tom Mattingly and editor Martha Rose Woodward. “Bob is an exceptional fan,� said Mattingly. “It is not enough to say he is a

Bob Arnold die-hard fan. He’s a fan who literally lives and dies with the fortunes of the Tennessee Vols, from the orange and white van he once drove through the streets of Dayton and to games wherever they were played, to his ‘Orange Room,’ a collection of Tennessee memorabilia that has to be seen to be believed.� The book is priced at $17.99 and is available online through amazon. com or in bookstores nationwide through the publishing company Createspace.

Farragut couple in Uganda to meet their three sons By Carolyn Evans As soon as the phone rang on April 18, the race was on for one Farragut couple. After waiting for what seemed like forever, they had suddenly gotten the go-ahead. Brad and Julie Raby had just four days to pack, get immunizations, run to Nashville for paperwork and write out instructions for grandparents. By Friday they were on a plane to Uganda, headed to meet their three soon-to-be sons. Daughter Rylee, seven, is staying with grandparents while mom and dad spend three weeks in a “hut,� the African version of a hotel. Every day Brad and Julie will visit the boys – twins who are three and a half and a little brother who is 16 months old – and even take them out to go places. Then the couple will return to Knoxville to wait for the official ruling. Once that’s granted, they’ll travel back to Africa and complete paperwork at the U.S. Embassy. “When we get back, I’ll build bunk beds,� Brad says. “We’ve got a lot of family and church family that are pitching in to help.� “Ever since I was a kid,� Julie says, “I had a passion for Africa. When I married Brad I told him I wanted to adopt. I just prayed for God

A sign of the times [Jesus] answered them, “When it is evening, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.’ And in the morning, ‘It will be stormy today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times.� (Matthew 16: 2-3 NRSV)

Rylee Raby lies on the empty chairs her new brothers will soon fill. Brad and Julie Raby are in Uganda, getting acquainted with the boys.

to change his heart and it didn’t take long. I just waited for him. He was onboard a year after we were married.� Then a colleague of Brad’s adopted a child. That fueled the Rabys’ interest, and they began the formal adoption process five years ago with Bethany Adoption Services here in Knoxville. “Bethany does an investigation to make sure the adoption is ethical and there isn’t a family member who could take care of them,� Brad says. “We have about a 20-page essay on the boys.� “It had been our goal to

adopt one child,� Julie says. “About seven or eight weeks ago, Bethany called with a special situation. There were three brothers who’d been in the orphanage for over a year. Would we want to adopt three instead of one? “In our interviews with them,� she laughs, “I said ‘I want one. I would consider two, but don’t call me for three!’� That Monday they waited till Rylee got home from school to finalize their decision. “We asked her what she would think about having

three brothers instead of just one,â€? Brad says. “Her face ‌ her eyebrows kind of hit the ceiling, and she said, ‘What would we name the other two?’ I told her we hadn’t said ‘yes’ yet. She started jumping up and down and chanting ‘Yes! Yes! Yes!’â€? “For us, it was shocking, but once they showed us (pictures of) the kids, ‘no’ wasn’t an option,â€? Brad says. The Rabys believe in adoption. “If you can work through the red tape to adopt, do it,â€? Brad says.

On a recent April morning I looked out our kitchen window toward the west and saw a sky that was blood-red. It was both beautiful and frightening, and odd, I thought, for the western sky to be red in the morning. It reminded me of the old saw, “Red sky at morning, sailor take warning.� It also reminded me of a story my mother used to tell of a morning long before I was born. One winter morning, a neighbor left his house to milk his cows and saw the aurora borealis streaking up the northern sky. He apparently didn’t know about the northern lights and was certain that it forebode the end of the world. I think it was my grandfather, who lived across the road from him, who assured him that there was nothing to fear. It was unusual, to be

sure, for the aurora to be so visible as far south as Tennessee. It does get one’s attention. Which was, I think, Jesus’ point. We take note of things that get our attention, and sometimes fail to attend to the things that are really important. So what is important? What are the signs of our times? I believe we need to be kinder, gentler, more generous, more forgiving toward each other. I believe we need to be thoughtful about the future of our homes, our land, our nation, our dear little world. I believe.

News from Mission of Hope

Breaking the cycle of poverty

Mission of Hope: one kid at a time By Anne Hart

When Knoxville-based Mission of Hope awards its college scholarships to graduating seniors in poverty-stricken rural Appalachia, it is giving far more than money. It is offering what the organization’s own name promises: hope. Hope for the future of the student, for their families, and, for many of those students, for the communities to which they choose to return with new-found knowledge and skills that can help lift that area out of the darkness to a brighter future. Each of the new scholarship students is teamed up with a mentor to help guide them along the way. The mentors support their protĂŠgĂŠs in a wide variety of ways, depending on the needs of the particular student, but the bond is a strong one. Mentor Cindy Lloyd describes her role as “an opportunity to be a support or connection for someone who is perhaps the ďŹ rst in their family to attend college and is willing to work unbelievably hard to get that college degree. “These are kids who don’t know how college works, and many of them start from behind because they don’t have some of the classes or knowledge that they need to compete in a college setting.â€? Lloyd has mentored four of the Mission of Hope scholarship recipients over the years. One of them is Haley Davis, now in her second semester at Roane State Community College. “Sometimes Cindy will text me ‘Hope you are OK,’â€? Haley says. “It just brightens my day. She is so sweet. All of the Mission of Hope people are so sweet and caring – every single one of them.â€? Haley grew up in Halls and attended Halls Middle School. After a move

to Speedwell, Tenn., she started her sophomore year at Cumberland Gap High School. During her senior year, looking for funds to help her get to college, she found an application form for a Mission of Hope scholarship posted at her school. “I sent in the form and then they interviewed me and I was so nervous, and I really didn’t think I would get it,â€? she recalls. “When they announced it at the school banquet I was so surprised and so happy.â€? At a later Mission of Hope banquet, all 13 of the scholarship recipients were surprised and overjoyed when each received a laptop computer, a printer and a college-speciďŹ c backpack ďŹ lled with other gifts. Haley’s backpack included a gas card, which she says came in especially handy as she navigates the roads between home, school and her job as a cashier at the Save-A-Lot store in LaFollette. “I drive a lot,â€? she says. “My gas bill is horrible.â€? Haley is majoring in chemistry. “I want to go into the medical ďŹ eld and I’m really interested in neurology, particularly in dementia and Alzheimer’s, because I would like to be able to help people with those diseases.â€? But with a degree in chemistry, there are also other options. “I just toured the Oak Ridge National Labs and thought it was really cool. I think it would be great to get into anything that is chemistry-related.â€? Haley is a hard worker. While other college students may take the summer off, she isn’t one of them. “I actually have a summer class I need to take to keep me from falling behind, and I have just enough funds from Mission of Hope to do that. Isn’t that awesome? They are helping me so much.â€?

Haley Davis at the time of her 2015 graduation from Cumberland Gap High School

Mentor Cindy Lloyd, who works closely with Mission of Hope staffer Diane Webster to be sure the scholarship students are getting the help each needs, describes the program’s tremendous success this way: “We don’t just say ‘Here’s the money and good luck.’ We say ‘Here’s the money and here’s my hand and my help.’ It’s not just a scholarship; it’s a relationship.� And the relationship is working well. Close to 100 scholarships have been granted to date, and the program’s success rate is above the national average.

As Mission of Hope’s director, Emmette Thompson, puts it, “We are breaking the cycle of poverty, one kid at a time.� Mission of Hope’s scholarships, as are all of its programs throughout the year, are made possible entirely through donations, and the need is always great.

Harvesting educational experiences Teacher Sarah Kerstetter’s third graders do their gardening right in the classroom.

Sara Barrett This is possible because of an aeroponics garden tower Kerstetter installed in one corner of the room. Each student is responsible for a plant, and they report on the garden’s PH levels regularly. Plant species grown in the garden include Brussels sprouts, broccoli and Swiss chard. “Mine started flowering, which means it is at the end of its life cycle,â€? says Addy Morgan. “Right now, I’m not really doing a whole lot,â€? says Kerstetter of the garden’s upkeep. “It is really student driven at this point. It has exceeded my expectations ‌ they just took off running with it. The garden produces so much. We’re harvesting more often than I expected, but that’s a good thing.â€? Brayden Alexander says he enjoys the experience because he lives in an apartment and wouldn’t otherwise have the chance to garden.

delicious.� “This shows how things work in real life,� says Albert Lee. His plant died, so he is sharing with a friend. The class is currently working on a video documenting their garden work that will be shown to kindergarten and first-grade classes at the primary school. “This has definitely encouraged more independence,� adds Kerstetter. “They research plants independently online, and

take pictures to measure a plant’s growth.� Kerstetter recommends aeroponics gardening for any classroom. The project was made possible thanks to a grant she received in December from the Great Schools Partnership.

Story So Far: S.O.R’s special soccer team loses their first game, 32-0, but must prepare for their second game Next morning when I walked into my classroom, on the board it read: 32–0! “Who wrote that?” I wanted to know. Ms. Appleton, my homeroom teacher, looked at the numbers as if she hadn’t noticed them before. “I have no idea. Does it mean something?” “Sort of,” I admitted, going right to my desk. “Aren’t you going to tell me?” “I’d rather not.” The rest of the class came in. Every time one of my teammates showed up — four in my room, Saltz, Porter, Lifsom and Hays — they looked up, saw the board, then lowered their eyes. Class came to order. “Ms. Appleton, what’s that mean?” asked one of the girls, the gifted, talented and excessively beautiful Lucy Neblet. “I have no idea. Edward seems to know, but he’s not telling. Or will you?” I hadn’t enjoyed losing the day before. But except for learning what I’d known already, that sports were not my thing, I hadn’t wasted a lot of grief. Yet when Lucy Neblet asked her question, all of a sudden I felt bad. Like I had done something wrong. I looked at Saltz, who sat next to me. He ignored me. “Edward?” persisted Ms. Appleton. I said, “Our special soccer team — first game — we lost by that score.” “Thirty-two to nothing?” hooted Hamilton, who was all-universe at everything. From somewhere in the back of the room came a giggle. Laughs. A grand old time, except for the five of us who were on the team. I felt lower than a mole hole. “I’m sure you’ll do better next time,” said Ms. Appleton. “They couldn’t do worse!” bellowed Hamilton. The bell clanged, and we started history, my favorite subject. It was then that we got to pick our project partner’s name out of a hat. Who should I get but Lucy Neblet. Rather, she got me, because she pulled out my name. Naturally, I didn’t want to show that it was amazingly fantastic with me, but I was sky high. I couldn’t have cared less about soccer. Then, in the lunchroom, a couple of people came up to me — Saltz and I were talking about Lucy — and these guys asked me if it was true about the game. “Yeah, sure,” I said, like Don’t bother me. But it meant word was getting around. Sure enough, from then on, all during lunch, I had this feeling that people were looking over at me and giggling. More than once I’m sure I heard “thirty-two–zip.” I tried to ignore it. Then this big eighth grader came up to me. “Hey, superstar, this is for you.” He handed me a note. I expected the worst until I saw it was a message. I was to see Mr. Lester. Mr. Lester was in his classroom, alone. I glanced at his desk. Usually it was loaded with history books. The American Civil War was his thing. It was neat to hear him talk about it. This time all I saw were soccer books. That upset me. He was taking

things seriously. Sure enough, took on a solemn expression. “I hope you weren’t too troubled about yesterday,” he said. “No way,” I said. “Why should I be?” But I sensed that I was being pushed that way. “We took quite a licking.” “Somebody has to lose,” I said. “The Confederates lost.” “Listen, Ed,” he said. “I’ve been studying. We can make adjustments. But that’s not what I wanted to see you about. It’s recommended here — now, where was it ...” He began to leaf through one of the soccer books. “Oh, it doesn’t matter. What we need — it says — we should have a captain. You would make an admirable one.” He held out his hand to congratulate me. “You are our captain.” “Me?” “You’re our best player. You can set an example.” “Me. The best?” “I saw you block a shot.” I felt like saying that (1) it had been an accident and (2) I didn’t even remember doing it. Instead, I went out of the room feeling positively sick. Me. Best player. Captain ... Good grief. The thought of a slow jog through Death Valley at high noon was much more appealing. That night, to set my mind straight, I called Lucy. We had a long talk about our project. Well, rock bands, mostly, but we began about the project. Then I called Saltz and had a long conversation about my long conversation with Lucy. There were still some nice places in my life. Next day Mr. Lester called an extra practice. No one wanted to go. It meant giving up our one free period. We had no choice. As it turned out, it was really a nice day, sort of golden warm, so it wasn’t bad to be outside. Mr. Lester led us to a place where no one could watch us. “Now, gentlemen,” he said, “we have to think about this game more seriously.” Saltz shot up his hand. “Yes, Saltz?” “Why do we have to take it seriously?” Mr. Lester blinked. “Because ... we do. There’s nothing wrong with losing. It’s just that we shouldn’t lose by so much.” “Isn’t a mile as good as a miss?” asked Hays. Mr. Lester grew quiet. We waited for an answer. “It’s a question of attitude,” he began. “During the American revolutionary war, Americans lost lots of battles, but they didn’t give up.” “Could you give us an example?” I asked, taking my job as a team captain to heart for the first time. Mr. Lester perked up. “Well, yes, many of them. Consider the Battle of Bunker Hill ...” He told us how the Americans got their fort set up at night. How the British came by boat. How they stormed up the hill and what our side did. “Don’t shoot till you see the whites of their eyes!” It was nifty the way he told it. When he was done, he said, “So you see, even though the Americans retreated, it was, in a way, a great victory.” “Anything like that happen during the Civil War?” I wanted to know.

“Actually, the Battle of Gettysburg was one in which no one truly won either, but because of that ...” He was off again, maybe even better than the first time around. We stayed put, happy to let him talk while the sun grew warm. By the time General Lee retreated, the hour was almost gone. He suddenly looked at his watch. “My goodness,” he said. “We’ve used up most of our time.” “What about the Spanish-American War?” asked Root quickly. Mr. Lester blinked. I felt for him. I could see he really wanted to tell us. Instead, with a sigh, he said, “Why don’t you run around the field a couple of times.” That was okay. We pulled ourselves up

and began to trot around at an easy, lazy pace. We did it twice and then came back to where Mr. Lester was waiting for us. “Now what?” asked Barish. “World War Two,” offered Dorman. Mr. Lester, however, checked his watch. Even as he did, we could hear the bell for class. We sprang up and ran back to school. It was computer lab time and no one wanted to miss that. As we went, I looked back over my shoulder. There was Mr. Lester standing under the tree, a bag of soccer balls on the ground. I almost felt sorry for him. I’ll say one thing though; it was the most interesting practice we had all season. (To be continued.)

Road to Rio paved with gold for KARM By Nancy Anderson It was a gold-medal-winning event at the Farragut West Knox Chamber’s 29th annual Silent and Live Auction as nearly 250 people dressed to impress turned up to bid on more than 150 silent auction items from hot air balloon rides, to wine baskets, to jewelry and everything in between. This year’s theme, “Road to Rio,� gave a nod to the upcoming 2016 Olympics as the live auction gave way to spirited bidding for elaborately decorated tabletops filled with treasures from business such as Elliots Boots and Chick-fil-A. “I’m so happy with the

turnout. Everyone is having a great time and we’ve got some wonderful auction items, as we always do. Everyone says if you’re looking to give back to the community and you like auctions, this is the best event of the year,� said Chamber president Bettye Sisco.

First Utility offers free water to air show visitors As a service to the recent Smoky Mountain Air Show, First Utility District came up with a unique way to help people stay hydrated and cool at the two-day event which hosted over 200,000 people. A hydration station consisting of local water “on tap� was built by employees of First Utility on their own time for a very small amount of money that attracted a large amount of users during the air show. Bruce Giles, general manager of First Utility, said he

was contacted by the Tennessee Air National Guard “to see if we could provide water for them during the show. At a conference last year, I saw a similar portable hydration station that cost about $20,000. “I challenged our staff to build something similar for use at events such as the air show with a lot less money. So for about $2,000, our employees built this system and also volunteered all weekend at the air show giving away free and cold East Tennessee tap water.�

This device was built by First Utility staff for about $2,000.

Giles said the hydration unit can be used to deliver water from any public water system and since it is portable, First Utility will make it available for use for future community events. First Utility District, located at 122 Durwood Road, is one of Tennessee’s largest water and wastewater utility districts, serving nearly 34,000 customers. Last year, it provided four billion gallons of water to area residents and businesses, at one of the lowest rates in Tennessee. Info: fudknox.org

News from Attorney Rebecca Bell Jenkins

In Rebecca Bell Jenkins’ law practice,

it’s all about family

By Anne Hart Few words in the English language evoke stronger emotions than this: family. Your family members are the ones you want to protect throughout life in every way possible. No one can help you do that more successfully than an experienced family attorney. Every family should have one. Rebecca Bell Jenkins is a family attorney with a practice that covers virtually every aspect of family law from birth to death and beyond. With offices in Franklin Square on Kingston Pike in West Knoxville and on Emory Road in Powell, Bell Jenkins has been in the practice of law since 1995, and has gained recognition as an experienced practitioner in the field of family law.

Family law advocacy The practice of family law has become increasingly important to our everyday lives as more and more families are faced with the realities of divorce and post divorce issues, including matters of spousal support, child support and parenting plan issues. Family law is not limited to divorce issues, but it also includes custody and child support issues for those persons who never married, but who have children together, and those matters are addressed through the Juvenile Court system. Juvenile Court is also the court in which issues regarding the well being of children are brought even when there is no divorce. Family law focuses on practically any area of the law that concerns persons and their family relationships. Legal separations and adoptions are family law issues as well. None of us is trained to handle these matters, and so we look to local attorney

Rebecca Bell Jenkins, a skilled legal practitioner with a focus on family law.

Returning to court Bell Jenkins reminds us that even after a divorce becomes final it is not at all uncommon for persons to return to court. Sometimes court mandated spousal support or child support is not paid in a timely manner or at all. Parenting plans may not be followed by one of the parents or there may be “substantial and material change of circumstances” and one or both parents may seek to modify the parenting plan. “Post divorce issues often come up,” Bell Jenkins says. These are all matters that Bell Jenkins, who has offices in both West Knoxville and Powell and has been licensed to practice law since 1995, deals with daily. She says family law deals with personal issues over which people usually become extremely emotional. “In our practice we know that it is extremely important to really listen to our clients. “For each client in our office, their case is the most important one in the world. We know this, and we pride ourselves on listening carefully and also on making certain that they understand every aspect of their case and how it will be handled. “This is the most productive way to have the desired legal outcome.”

Have estate planning documents ready Bell Jenkins also represents clients in other matters that can impact the entire family, such as personal injury cases and even criminal misdemeanors when family members make bad choices. Another vital part of

Attorney Rebecca Bell Jenkins

the practice of family law is estate planning, which involves three critical documents: ■ A will, which everyone 18 years or older who has assets and/or children should have; ■ A Power of Attorney document, which specifies who can make decisions for you on health care and/or financial matters if you become incapacitated; and ■ A Living Will, which states whether heroic measures should be taken to save your life in certain life-threatening situations and also communicates whether you wish to be an organ donor. Bell Jenkins reminds us that, “It is critically important that we all have in place our will and power of attorney. “We never know when these documents will be needed, so it is incumbent upon us all to have them ready.” While the reasons for

a will seem obvious, Bell Jenkins says having the document can serve to prevent family squabbles and also avert the unnecessary expenditures required if the courts are asked to make final a determination on the division of property. “A power of attorney is also a necessary and invaluable tool in the event an individual becomes mentally incapacitated and unable to handle their own affairs,” she says. “If you become mentally incompetent without a power of attorney document in place, no one can legally act in your behalf in financial, business and health-related matters. Your loved ones will have to file a petition for conservatorship with the court in order to handle your affairs or to make heath care decisions for you. “Again, it is critical to have this document in place, because once a person becomes incompetent,

Rebecca Bell Jenkins, Attorney at Law Suite 202 in Franklin Square 9724 Kingston Pike

691-2211 534 W. Emory Road, Powell by appointment only

it is too late to appoint a power of attorney; the court will not approve it, so don’t wait too long. “A conservatorship is time-consuming and expensive as it moves through the courts. It is much easier to see an attorney now and have these two critical documents drawn up than to have your loved ones deal with the court system. The two documents no one should be without are a will and a power of attorney. Bell Jenkins states that if a person wants to have a power of attorney in place, but currently is still able to handle his/her own affairs, then the power of attorney can be written to go into effect only when the person becomes incompetent. The power of attorney can provide that the person’s competency can be determined by his/ her treating physician.

Rule 31 mediator Bell Jenkins is also a Rule 31 Listed Family Law Mediator. In many situations this allows her to serve as an independent third party in discussions between the two parties and their attorneys as they attempt to work out their differences without going to court. This form of mediation allows the two sides of an issue to reach an agreement without the time and legal expense involved in going to court, and without the possibility of having a judge issue a ruling that suits neither party. The law offices of Rebecca Bell Jenkins are available to serve your family’s legal needs, including adoption and personal injury cases. Please call the central telephone number – 6912211 – which serves both the West Knoxville office and the Powell office.

Urban Wilderness brings economic impact By Betsy Pickle Carol Evans said it best, recalling a quote she heard at a conference in Chicago: “We build parks for people here; if they like them, others will come.� And when others come, they spend money. The potential economic impact of Knoxville’s Urban Wilderness is huge. At last week’s Celebrate the Urban Wilderness event at Ijams Nature Center, Dr. Charles Sims estimated annual spending of $8.3 million if the UW is a local attraction, $14.6 million if marketed regionally, and $29 million if promoted na-

tionally. Sims, a Faculty Fellow at the Howard H. Baker Jr. Center for Public Policy and an assistant professor in economics at the University of Tennessee, based his projection on the research he did with two graduate students on the potential economic impact of the Urban Wilderness. No official studies have been made on usage of the Urban Wilderness itself and what local and non-local users are spending in South Knoxville and across the city. So to analyze the potential, Sims and his assistants used data on existing

trail systems in other parts of the country. They came up with projections based on whether the UW was primarily a local, regional or national destination. What made the UW stand out compared with trails in such places as the Research Triangle area in North Carolina, the Virginia Creeper trail in Virginia and the Slickrock Trail in Utah is that it is much closer to restaurants and lodging and to a downtown commercial area. And though there are acclaimed urban trails in Richmond, Manhattan, Minneapolis and Seattle, the UW has

42 miles (and growing) of trails, more than twice the number of the other four trails combined. Sims pointed out that the research focused on bicycle usage, and the Urban Wilderness also draws joggers, hikers and walkers. Estimating the direct, indirect and multiplier effects, the UW could reach close to $52 million in economic impact on Knox, Anderson and Grainger counties if it were to become a national destination. And Sims said that doesn’t reflect the effect on income and employment, health benefits and property values.

A-20 • APRIL 27, 2016 • Shopper news “Jack’s Adventures in American History,â€? sponsored by the Farragut Museum as part of the Dogwood Arts Festival, was performed in the Town Hall boardroom April 24. The audience watched as Jack crammed for his upcoming history test. When his history book magically burst open, Jack met some of the most exciting people in our nation’s history. George Washington, Ben Franklin, Henry Ford and Neil Armstrong were among the 22 characters that came to life in the high-energy adventure. Audience volunteers

helped write the Constitution, work on Ford’s assembly line and even demand the right to vote. Bright Star, based in Asheville, is in its 14th season. The touring company has four full-time employees who write the plays (each about 45 minutes long), direct them, make the costumes and advertise. They’ve crisscrossed the country – performing at the National Theatre in Washington, D.C., the Seattle Space Needle, in theaters overlooking the Manhattan skyline, in school cafeterias in South Carolina and in

museums in Cape Cod. “We hire professional actors to come rehearse with us here in Asheville,� Schmidt says. “We give them three different scripts and they travel around the country.� Ostergaard, founder and owner, experienced a lot of bullying when he was in school, Schmidt says. “He wanted to do some anti-bullying plays, but it’s blossomed into all kinds of plays. Right now have six shows touring at the same time and from fall 2016 to fall 2017 we will probably have had about 40 actors who worked for us.�

And in the last three weeks, the kids of Farragut have had the opportunity to see three of his theater productions. Thanks to the town of Farragut, the community has been treated to three plays: two at the Farragut

Book Fest for Children on April 9 and the third at the Farragut Museum April 24. “They were a huge hit at the book fest,� says Chelsey Riemann, for the town of Farragut. As a matter of fact, they were such a hit that the town has wasted no time – Bright Star, one of the largest professional touring theatre companies in the country, is already

scheduled for next year’s book fest. In “Upcycled Cinderella,� two actors donned recycled materials to demonstrate the benefits of recycling. “We definitely appreciated the ‘festival’ spirit of everyone at the fair,� says Ella Smith, who played Cinderella. I felt like a Renaissance actor, walking around the fair in my long dress and hat, talking to the kids. The audience was very involved and appreciative. It felt like a success!� Next they performed “The Reluctant Dragon,� the story of a misunderstood dragon who terrorizes the townspeople. But a young boy steps in to show the others that he’s really friendly. The moral: you can’t judge a book by its cover.

It was beautiful weather and smiles all around as 23 volunteers, the majority Food City employees, collected 380 pounds of trash in an hour at the annual Keep Knoxville Beautiful Farragut Trash Run April 20. Participants headed out from Wild Wing CafĂŠ on Campbell Lakes Drive and ran or walked approximately one mile picking up trash along the way. The more trash in the bag, the more tickets earned. The more tickets earned, the greater the chance of winning a raffle prize ranging from T-shirts, to coupons, to gift baskets. “We had a great turnout today,â€? said Keep Knoxville Beautiful executive director Patience Melnik. “It’s a fun run, not competitive at all ‌ except for the trash. The more trash you bring in the more tickets you get to put in the bowl. “It’s just a fun way to improve your own health while improving the health of the community and that makes everyone a winner.â€?

Hometown Hero

Loudon woman credits Parkwest doctor for second chance It was the best of times and the worst of times. Yet this is no Dickensian tale of two cities, but a story of two people from the same small town. “We Loudon folks have to take care of each other,” Dr. Ayaz Rahman, an interventional cardiologist at Parkwest Medical Center, said as he sat at a conference room table across from 67-year-old Mary Linhart. The two officially met last summer when Linhart, a Loudon resident who had just seen her hopes for a liver transplant dashed, was referred to Dr. Rahman by his colleague, Dr. Stephen Marietta. “The first time he came into the room and I heard him talking, I thought, ‘This has to be Dr. Rahman’s son!’ So, it was like a bonding,” said Linhart with a laugh. “Loudon is a small town, and everybody knows just about everybody. I remembered him running around Loudon when he was a child.” The son of Dr. Mohammad Rahman who practices internal medicine in Loudon, Dr. Ayaz Rahman is an Emory University-trained interventional cardiologist whose niche specialty is structural heart and valve disease – just the kind of help Linhart needed to get her heart healthy enough to regain her eligibility for a liver transplant. Born with rheumatic fever and cirrhosis inherited from her father, Linhart was on the waiting list for a new liver, but when doctors at the transplant center discovered her failing heart valves, she was removed from the list. “When you are being evaluated for any type of organ transplant, you have to make sure that the other organs are functioning well to support that new organ,” said Dr. Rahman. “She was found to have a severe narrowing of her aortic valve and severe to moderate narrowing of her mitral valve, but because of her cirrhosis – and appropriately so – she was deemed to be at high risk for open-heart surgery, particularly because it’s a big surgery where you are not only fi xing one but two valves.” In particular, Dr. Rahman was concerned about Linhart’s cryptogenic cirrhosis which causes watery thin blood and heavy bleeding, ruling out any possibility of open-heart surgery to replace her aortic valve. He would have to

Mary Linhart is thankful for members of the TAVR team, Dr. Rahman and Sonya Brown, for reviving her hope in a liver transplant.

find another route to fi x the aortic valve first, and follow up with a second surgery, a valvuloplasty, to repair the mitral valve. “We knew we had to fix her valves with a transcatheter option,” said Dr. Rahman. “Anything that we could do with a minimally invasive approach was our best option.” That meant Linhart would be undergoing a transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), a procedure in which surgeons direct a tiny tube or catheter through an artery in the patient’s groin to the aorta where they then deploy an artificial valve. The only incision is the small cut in the femoral artery, keeping blood loss at a minimum. Approved by the FDA in 2012, Parkwest became the first hospital in East Tennessee to perform TAVR surgery. Since the first procedure in June 2012, Parkwest’s TAVR team has flourished. After performing 30 TAVRs that first year, the TAVR team did 59 in 2013, 63 in 2014, and almost 100 last year, bringing its total to 253 by the end of 2015. Among those 253 was Mary

Linhart, who underwent TAVR on June 30. Hers was a “minimalist approach,” meaning she was under “conscious sedation” without general anesthesia. Linhart, however, didn’t know a thing – except that she felt better afterwards. “She was a lot better, but still not 100 percent because we knew we still needed to treat an additional valve,” said Dr. Rahman. The valve left behind was the mitral valve, which had become calcified and narrowed by rheumatic heart disease. But on Oct. 27, Dr. Rahman tackled that valve by performing a valvuloplasty in which he inserted a small, balloon-tipped catheter through the vein, guided it through the right side of her heart to the mitral valve on the left side and inflated the balloon to allow more blood to flow through the valve. “Both of her valve problems were taken care of by methods similar to a heart catheterization – through the groin without having to do open heart surgery and she did very well,” said Dr. Rahman. “Really, this technology was made for someone like Mrs. Lin-

The right ‘mix’ of expertise

Multi-disciplinary approach benefits TAVR patients There’s an old saying: “Too many cooks spoil the broth.” But that is definitely not the case when a patient’s treatment plan calls for TAVR, or Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement. With TAVR, the patient benefits from the expertise of a multidisciplinary team of healthcare professionals, all of whom play essential roles. The first TAVR was performed

at Parkwest in June 2012. The procedure gives new hope to patients who suffer from a progressive life-threatening condition called aortic stenosis, but who are not candidates for traditional open heart surgery. As of the end of 2015, more than 253 patients have received this life-saving procedure at Parkwest. TAVR is a minimally invasive procedure that involves placing a

catheter into the femoral artery or through a small incision between the ribs and deploying a collapsible prosthetic aortic valve into a beating heart. At Parkwest, the multidisciplinary TAVR team includes physicians specializing in cardiovascular and thoracic surgery, interventional cardiology and cardiac anesthesiology, along with nurses and technicians with specialized training.

“I told my husband, Lew, ‘Don’t take this the wrong way, but I love that man!’” she said of Dr. Rahman. “He makes me laugh, he’s always smiling, and he’s all the time upbeat. He’s a wonderful physician. I have recommended him to many people.” In turn, Dr. Rahman shares credit with scores of others, from his own front office personnel to valve coordinator Sonya Brown, and from cardiac nurses to Parkwest CAO Rick Lassiter and the entire Covenant Health System. “It really takes the backing of the health system, Covenant Health, and the support of the administration,” said Dr. Rahman. “I wouldn’t trade our structural heart team for anything. Our motto is similar to NASA’s, which is ‘failure is not an option.’ We see many patients like Mrs. Linhart where minimally invasive procedures are a bridge to something else. And for others, it’s their only procedure. However, the entire team’s thoughts and prayers are still with Mrs. Linhart and we are very eager to get the phone call that her liver is ready.” hart who needed a viable alterna“Oh, I’ll be calling you!” Mary tive to open heart surgery given Linhart said as tears filled her her high-risk status.” eyes. “I know that it takes the Soon after her second surgery, nurses, the surgeons – people that Linhart visited the transplant cen- God puts in place to do what needs ter again.

The team also includes a nurse navigator who provides education, a plan of care, emotional support and guidance through the TAVR experience. A patient is referred to one of the interventional cardiologists or CV surgeons who perform TAVR by his or her own cardiologist or primary care physician. The patient first undergoes a “work-up” that includes extensive outpatient tests, and the results are presented at a weekly TAVR conference. Even the operating room used for TAVR procedures at Parkwest is multidisciplinary in design. A unique surgical room, known as
