It has a working propeller, but can’t fly. Still, this full scale replica of a Cessna 140 found its way to the Amazing Wonders Aviation Vacation Bible School at Beaver Dam Baptist Church and then flew off to entertain kids during VBS at Salem Baptist Church. With a wingspan of 32 feet and a body that is 20 feet long, this is no “fly by night” operation. The concept and design originated with Beaver Dam member Alan Summers. Summers, an architect by trade, used original plans he found online and initiated the build. “We had a lot of help getting the plane finished the week before VBS,” said Summers. “We had more than 200 kids attend and the plane became a great attraction.” The plane has a wooden skeleton and polystyrene sheets on the exterior. The wings were made in two 16-foot sections and clamp to the body at the center. Summers said it is held together with lots of screws, duct tape and paint.

Mark Campen’s wild yard By Betty Bean “I’m not big on awards,” says Mark Campen, “but having once been threatened with a potential violation from the city, it would be pretty ironic if I would get a residential landscaping award on Honor Fountain City Day. It would be nice to see efforts for a wild landscape credited, and would mark a real sea change in our attitudes.” Four years ago, Campen was arguing with city codes inspectors who were responding to a complaint from a neighbor who said that Campen’s wild front yard was producing excessive pollen and aggravating her allergies. She wanted him to mow down the tangle of black-eyed susans, willow saplings and other plants Campen was cultivating along the creek in the front yard of the Adair Drive home he and his wife, Emily, bought in 2005. “I don’t harbor ragweed. Its pollen granules are small enough to be airborne, and they will irritate people who are allergic. I do have one plant that blooms at the same

time – golden rod – and its pollen granules are too heavy to be much of a problem. “The plants that are out here are mostly East Tennessee native species, or regional ones. I’m try-
ing to establish attractive, low maintenance plants that will be really pretty and benefit wildlife in this riparian zone.” Campen, who holds a degree in wildlife and fisheries science and a

minor in forestry, is the executive director of the Tennessee chapter of the Izaak Walton League of America. He was finally able to persuade city officials that his landscaping ideas weren’t detrimental to the neighborhood. And, today, quite a bit has changed. The Campens have a threeyear-old son, Parson. Mark is now the Fifth District city council representative, and the saplings are looking like fullfledged trees. The weedy patch around the creek has become a mini-wilderness with a maze of paths among the bright orange butterfly weed, thread leaf bluestar, iron weed, maypop, joe pye weed, rattlesnake master, bee balm, jack-in-the-pulpit, wild ginger, silky dogwood, button bush, American beauty berry, bottlebrush buckeye, service berry, lizard tail, golden rod, flea bane, milkweed, evening primrose and hearts-a’bustin’ (to name just a few of the plants Campen has propagated there). Up closer to the tidy brick bungalow, Campen has planted vegetables and more conventional plants at the request of Emily. In the evenings
he’s able to sit on his porch and enjoy the wildlife that his yard attracts. Many of the plants have a story. The butterfly weed came from a Kingston Pike construction site that was converting farmland into a super Kroger. The bee balm was a gift from Ellen Bebb, wife of city council colleague Finbarr Saunders. The willows started out as two-foot tall stakes that Campen hammered into the ground. “I’m trying to establish attractive, low maintenance plants that will be really pretty and benefit wildlife in this riparian zone,” he said. “TDEC (The Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation) recommends 50 foot buffer zone around the creek and that can be an attractive corridor for wildlife. I’ve seen foxes run through the front yard at night. My neighbor had a turkey right there in the front yard. There are ways to be more wildlife friendly with the environment that you create.” There’s an additional benefit to Campen’s grounds keeping philosophy. “I save time and energy by not manicuring my yard.” 2707 Mineral Springs Ave. Knoxville, TN 37917 Ph.

Local sports camp shoots Eighth grader earns for more than just goals high score on ACT Receives awards from Vanderbilt and Duke Brian Johnson appears to be your average middleschooler, but he isn’t your regular rising 8th grader. Johnson received awards from Vanderbilt and Duke universities for an impressive score on the ACT exam, including a 20 in English.
Tia Kalmon Brian Johnson Photo by Tia Kalmon Brian was asked to attend Vanderbilt’s award ceremony recognizing 7th graders from all over the state for their above-average scores on the ACT or SAT. A little bit shy for an interview, yet proud of his accomplishment, Johnson said the award was “pretty cool.” Brian, who attends Berean Christian School, said he did not really study for the exam. The Duke University Talent Identification Program (Duke TIP) identifies students across the United States who have scored in the 95th percentile on a grade-level achievement test. Seventh-grade students have the choice to take either the SAT or ACT exam
to determine their academic progress. The ACT and SAT tests are college entrance exams taken primarily by juniors or seniors in high school. Seventh-graders who score high enough are invited to attend the Grand Qualifying levels held at Duke University, which recognizes students who score a composite or sub-score above 27 on the ACT or an SAT composite score above 1850 or sub-score greater than 650. This year, Duke University recognized 24,847 students. More than 2,000 of them were invited to attend the Grand Recognition Ceremony. Brian says English is his favorite subject in school.
Help sought for fire victims
Joan Foster is asking for help for the family that was burned out on Friday. Their rental house was on Emory Road, about a mile east of the library on the left, Foster said. “They need everything, but primarily a storage trailer or building for the items they saved,” she said. The family consists of a husband, wife and a son who attends Halls High School. They also had taken in another couple who had nowhere to live. Anyone who can help should call Foster at 6876202 and leave a message.
Only 12 campers preregistered to participate in the first year of the Cross Train Sports Camp at Gibbs High School. Prepared with bottles of Gatorade and passion for the project, volunteers anticipated a low-key week of sports and spiritual growth. No one expected the 198 campers who arrived eagerfaced the first day of camp or the almost equal number of volunteers. “That’s just how God shows up,” said the director, Kandy Holt. Now in its third year, Cross Train Sports Camp is for children from 5 years old to 8th grade. Campers can choose to develop skills in baseball, basketball, cheerleading, football, soccer or softball. The camp’s concept was inspired by the vision Kandy’s father had for a Bible-based community camp. He passed away before he could see his idea come to fruition through his daughter, but with much prayer and support, Kandy made a community camp a reality. While she was considering whether to start the camp, Kandy saw the passion for athletics and the caliber of the athletic talent in the Gibbs community. She also saw the love for God which many community members possess. She wanted to create a place where children could attain athletic training in a loving and Christ-centered environment. After abun-
Hannah Evans
dant prayer with friends and family, Kandy decided, “This is what we want to do.” A unique aspect of the camp is that the fee per child for the entire week is only $20. Holt and the volunteers hope it will allow as many children as possible the opportunity to participate. The accessibility and openness of the camp do not, however, represent a compromise on quality of instruction. Campers receive instruction and encouragement from accomplished coaches who work at area high schools and middle schools, all of whom are camp volunteers. The theme of this year’s camp is “Undefeated.” Every camper will be taught Romans 8:31, a verse that includes: “If God is for us, then who can be against us?” The camp seeks to empower campers and encourage them to share that empowerment. Every year, the camp has featured notable speakers, including former UT football coach Phillip Fulmer. This year’s speakers are Inky Johnson, Ben Bartholomew and Sue Buckley. Johnson, a former University of Tennessee football

player, works to inspire and lead youth. Buckley runs a mentoring service for visually impaired young adults that helps them to gain independence. Though Buckley is herself visually impaired and Johnson’s football career was ruined by a severe injury, both embody what it means to be “undefeated” and find a way to share empowerment with others. Campers will also be participating in fundraising drive for the Knoxville Special Olympic. When asked about the camp’s future, Holt said she would love to expand it to other counties, especially to more impoverished areas where children might not otherwise have an opportunity or the means to at-
tend camp. Currently, Cross Train Sports Camp is in the process of becoming a registered nonprofit organization. Much of its funding comes from area churches, but individual donations are always welcome. A typical day of camp includes a huddle with messages of scripture and the camp theme, practice grouped by sport, a snack and various competitions. The camp will be held 6:30 to 9 p.m. Monday to Friday, June 25-29, at Gibbs High School. For more info about the Cross Train Sports Camp and registration, visit http://www. crosstrainsportscamp.com.

‘Lavender Man’
at least for two weeks a year By Betty Bean
Izaah Rogers shows the 20-pound cabbage he grew in his grandfather’s garden. Izaah will be entered in the Bonnie Plants 3rd Grade Cabbage Program for a chance to win a $1,000 college scholarship.

Izaah’s big birthday present Mark this down: Izaah Rogers will have one sweet ninth birthday today (June 18). He grew his own present. And it’s a whopper folks. As in a 20-pound head of cabbage that has a 48-inch circumference. That’s four feet, y’all. He did it all by himself, too. Oh, his grandfather, Jess, gave it a drink of water now and again and helped keep the weeds away. But Izaah planted it and kept it up. “Cause I do have the green thumb!” Izaah says. “I’ve been growing gardens since I was born. I went crawling around planting watermelon seeds. Started doing it when I was in diapers.” Papaw Jess nodded. “We didn’t do anything unusual (with the cabbage). It just happened. We just let Mother Nature take its course.” Jess has kept a garden at his and wife Connie’s Halls home on Old Maynardville Pike on and off for years. Izaah and his sister, Angel,

Izaah’s cabbage ain’t just for show and tell, either. He is entered in the Bonnie Plants 3rd Grade Cabbage Program for a chance to win a $1,000 college scholarship. One student in each state will get one. If Izaah’s doesn’t win, I want to get a look at the one that does. I’ve never seen a head of cabbage this big. I stood right there and watched Jess’ 10-pound

For Hollar, lavender season ended recently with the Lavender Festival in Oak Ridge, but he’s already making plans to improve and expand next year’s crop and to move into related products like distilled lavender essence. Last week, he was getting $4 a bundle for fragrant bunches of lavender at the Market Square Farmers Market. Customers were snapping the bundles up as fast as he could tie them together with string. “No water” was his only instruction.

government Mannis report due in June The long awaited city mulch fire report will be released by the end of June if not earlier, according to Jesse Mayshark, who told this writer in front of Deputy Mayor Bill Lyons on June 12. Lyons speaks for Mayor Madeline Rogero on many matters and is considered one of four persons working at the city who is closest to her. Originally, it had been announced that June 5 would be the release, but that was missed. This was the fire which shut down several streets and created major smoke clouds for days earlier this spring. The other deputy mayor, Eddie Mannis, is supervising the mulch fire report. This will be the highest public profile event he has supervised since becoming deputy mayor in December 2011. How it is handled will reflect on his record and be carefully watched given his political aspirations. Citizens are expecting real answers to how it all happened and who is at fault plus any penalties for those who failed to meet the test of responsibility at critical stages. This is an opportunity for the city to show its resolve, transparency and competence in meeting the disclosure aspect of an unfortunate event. What changes are needed in current city codes, regulations and education of personnel to prevent this from occurring again? Portraits unveiled: On Thursday, June 21, Mayor Rogero will unveil the mayoral portraits of Bill Haslam and Daniel Brown. The Haslam portrait was done by Knoxville and New York painter John Woodrow Kelley who lives here on Lyons Bend Road. He did it from photos he took of Gov. Haslam in the fall of 2011 at Haslam’s Sherwood Drive home. Haslam is reported to be very pleased with the result which is a head and shoulders portrait without hands. Kelley has been commissioned to do Haslam’s gubernatorial portrait for the State Capitol. Kelley, 58, is a wellrespected painter who has done portraits of the late federal Judge Robert L. Taylor, former Gov. Lamar Alexander as well as this writer. He reduced his normal rate for the city. The unveiling will be on the 5th floor of the atrium of the City County Building
Victor Ashe
at 2:30 p.m. Arrive early for security checks and to get a good spot at the ceremony. Reception will follow. Janet Testerman Crossley, former first lady, was first to assemble the portraits of Knoxville’s 68 mayors (63 at the time). She deserves credit for this endeavor. Greenways: This past week, I interviewed Lori Goerlich, the new city parks and greenways coordinator. Accompanying her was Jesse Mayshark, current Rogero spokesperson who used to interview me when he was the investigative reporter for Metro Pulse. An interesting reversal of roles. Next week I will have details of the interview. Conference: Mayor Rogero spent two days in Orlando at the annual meeting of the U.S. Conference of Mayors. She has not yet determined on which committees she will serve. The USCM meeting lasted four days and represents an opportunity from my own experience to network with other mayors and high level administration officials such as Vice President Biden and cabinet officials. This trip is one worth the cost to taxpayers. Most times the mayor will learn ideas worth implementing in Knoxville. Williams Creek: Five council members plus state Sen. Becky Massey were at the news conference celebrating the purchase of properties by Tennessee Clean Water Network along Williams Creek in East Knoxville. They were led by Daniel Brown, who lives nearby, and included Finbarr Saunders, Marshall Stair, Mark Campen and Duane Grieve. This may lead to another greenway in a beautiful part of the city near the Knoxville Botanical Gardens. Hopefully, work on this will start this calendar year. Brown, who represents the area on council, will be monitoring it. There is a nearby dump on Daily Street which is an eyesore and health hazard. Hopefully, the city will move to remove it.

Burchett’s victory lap County Mayor Tim Burchett came to the Fountain City Business and Professional Club ready to defend his budget, but he didn’t get a lot of pushback over his battle with the school system, which wanted a $35 million annual increase for new programs, technology enhancements and an extensive building/ renovation program. County Commission pretty much went Burchett’s way, but came up with an additional $4 million for education, over the mayor’s objections. The sharpest exchange of the day actually came when County Commissioner R. Larry Smith attacked school board member Indya Kincannon for the deteriorating condition of vacant school buildings. “Closing down Rule
Betty Bean High School was the worst thing the schools ever did,” he said. “And the day we (County Commission) got Oakwood (Elementary School), the roof caved in.” Kincannon reminded Smith that County Commission nixed a deal to hand over the old South Elementary School to a developer and said that maintaining vacant buildings is difficult financially, because the school system’s first obligation is to spend money where the students are. “We often can’t afford to maintain these old buildings or restore them to their previous glory,” Kincannon said.
Burchett told the group that the $677,717,291 budget (for fiscal year starting July 1) has approximately $13 million in new funding for school operations, which constitutes a greater increase than the last three years combined, he said. (These numbers do not include a $3 million appropriation for an intensive kindergarten through 3rd grade reading program.) Earlier this year, county employees got a raise totalling $3 million annually, yet general government spending decreased by $331,000. “Why? “ Burchett asked. “Because that’s what I had control over.” He said that department heads have trimmed costs by measures such as replacing retirees by increasing the duties and the pay of existing employees rather
Tim Burchett than making new hires. Funding the Uniformed Officers Pension Plan will cost more than $5 million, not including the bond payment, Burchett said. The county’s debt load sits at more than $1 billion. Burchett said his administration has trimmed that by $20 million this year and is on pace to carve out another $110 million over the next 5 years, in part by not borrowing more than is paid down each year.
Massey sets re-election kickoff By Anne Hart If you didn’t know any better, you might have thought you were at a family reunion at West Knox Republican Club meeting last week. With just a few exceptions, most of this crowd that gathers once a month for supper and politicking has been doing so for many years now. Some of them actually are family, like the speaker for the evening, state Sen. Becky Duncan Massey, and her nephew, John Duncan III, who is Knox County trustee. Also at the meeting, was political newcomer Nick Ciparro, who is running for Congress in the Aug. 2 primary against Becky’s brother and John’s dad, U.S. Rep. John J. Duncan Jr.
Massey told the group that in her first year she was the only newcomer out of 132 people. “Thank goodness I had a lot of friends there.” Over the years she had made many trips to Nashville to work on issues involving the nonprofit Sertoma Center, which she serves as executive director. One of the most significant pieces of legislation passed this year helps curb prescription drug abuse Becky Massey through a statewide database. “It is another step in That’s OK. Everyone was fighting the drug problem, nice and polite and there and I believe it will make a were no fisticuffs, just the huge difference, especially usual bunch of politicians in doctor shopping.” Massey will formally ancircling the room to shake the same hands they have nounce her campaign for rebeen shaking at these meet- election at the Foundry at ings for who knows how World’s Fair Park from 5-7 p.m. Tuesday, June 19. long.
Club president Gary Loe, himself a candidate for the state House in District 13, made certain all officeholders and candidates were introduced. Also introduced was Alexander Waters, Knox County campaign manager for Mitt Romney for President. He told the group, “If you’re tired of out-ofcontrol budgets and tired of deficits, Romney is your man.” He was preaching to the choir. Mary Ann Thompson who works with Sheriff Jimmy “J.J.” Jones, said next month’s club meeting will be at the Rothchild facility on Kingston Pike. As always, the highlight will be the auction of cakes and other pastries donated by elected officials.
whose company renovated the Southeastern Glass building on the corner of Jackson and Broadway, expressed his frustration about the crumbling structure down the street from his building. “When we did Southeastern Glass, we were out on the edge. It’s hard out there – it’s hard on the edge. We need the city’s commitment to follow through. And McClung is a huge stumbling block. Sometimes the private sector gets in the way. It’s important that government does what it alone can do,” he said. He cited Market Square – “the city’s living room” – as the best example of his theory. “Only the city and KCDC could have developed the public spaces on Market Square.” Downtown developer John Craig, who has restored the S&W, Harold’s Deli and
Emory Place, agreed. “One of the things the city has done well has been judicious use of strategic investment.” He approves of tax incentives like PILOTs (payments in lieu of taxes) and TIFs (tax increment financing) to move projects along. Most of Budd Cullom’s work has been in suburban areas, but now he and his partner Jim Harrison are working on University Commons, which will bring a Walmart and a Publix to the old Fulton Bellows plant on the edge of the UT campus. It’s Cullom’s first foray close to the heart of Knoxville, and he said he wishes people understood that tax increment financing isn’t a handout. “There are people in financial circles and in government who don’t understand how it works. A TIF is not a direct subsidy. These are loans that are paid back.”
Blight fight
Developing success in the city By Betty Bean
A nationally known consultant who came to Knoxville to advise city officials about dealing with blighted property saw striking differences between downtown and the surrounding neighborhoods. Alan Mallach of the Center for Community Progress was enthusiastic about Market Square. “I was struck by how drastically the character of the area changes when you leave downtown,” Mallach said. “This is the sort of place that people from other places go to France or Italy and come back raving about. But neighborhoods are critical. …”
Mallach said the issue of property rights frequently becomes a stumbling block to combating blight. “Property rights cut in a lot of different directions. Anybody sitting on a piece of property and allowing it to blight is interfering with their neighbors just as surely as if he’s going around and dumping garbage on their properties.” The massive, deteriorating hulk of the McClung Warehouses on Jackson Avenue, where a suspicious 2007 fire threatened to burn out the north end of downtown, was the most frequently-mentioned example of Malach’s property rights versus the neighbors theory.

Pieces of history fit for a king
them co-founded TAMIS, a nonprofit that preserves local and regional film, music, TV shows and other slices of
East Tennessee history. The collection includes everything from “Mid-Day Merry Go Round” recordings to early film shot in Knoxville to an old WTVK Channel 26 camera. But Elvis is there, too, and why not? The King was the flashpoint for the whole darn thing. Plus, Presley considered himself a Tennessean and made three or four legendary stops in Knoxville. One of Reeves’ best “finds” is a long-thought-lost audio recording from Elvis’ matinee performance at Stokely Athletic Center on April 8, 1972. His latest pieces of Presley were donated by Carolyn Turner, an Elvis collector from Fountain City who originally lived in Mississippi and belonged to that state’s first Elvis fan club. “She loved Elvis Presley and wanted this stuff to go to somebody who cared about it and would not sell it.” Her collection includes pristine vinyl records from Elvis’ career – including rare
soundtrack albums – that look like they just rolled off the assembly line. She also donated never-before-seen photographs, including shots from Elvis’ December 1975 engagement at the Las Vegas Hilton. But the rarest item is the original “Mid-South” edition of the Memphis Press-Scimitar newspaper from Wednesday, Aug. 17, 1977, with its headline: “A lonely life ends on Elvis Presley Boulevard.” Yellowing copies of a special edition can be found in attics and antique stores everywhere. But the edition that rolled off the presses the day after Elvis died is ultra rare. Take a look at your copy if
Fame. Former Volunteers elected him an honorary letterman. SID peers gave him plaques and trophies and eventually voted him into their hall of fame. This final award is the best they can do. A few thousand Tennessee fans, through the years, heard Bud’s civic club previews of Volunteer football but most of what he did was behind the scenes. He managed the flow of news, Neyland Stadium press box, basketball adventures and responded to a multitude of special requests from sportswriters and broadcasters. “Ford always let it be known that he stood for integrity, passion and tradition when it came to his beloved University of Tennessee,” said John Painter,
another former member of the revised UT department. Painter said it was the same for everybody, boss, student intern, eager fan. Doug Dickey said: “Bud Ford was typical of the heart and soul of Tennessee athletics. He bled orange, wore orange and probably sang ‘Rocky Top’ in the shower. His work ethic for UT was amazing.” John Majors said Bud was one of the most valuable to an athletics department he has ever known. “I’ve worked with some mighty good people, and Bud Ford is as good as they come. He is honest and loyal to the highest degree and has great integrity. He is extremely efficient and knowledgeable about his profession.”
Phillip Fulmer said: “Bud Ford loves Tennessee with a passion that showed in the way he did his job. … Whatever the situation, you could be sure he always was protective of the integrity, tradition and image that make Tennessee football special.” Here’s what I say: Amen. He was that and more. Alas, there may not be another forever Volunteer. He was a boyhood fan. He earned a UT degree and never wanted to be anywhere else. Gus Manning did it that way. Haywood Harris almost did. He worked in the real world for a little while. Bud was truly dedicated. I doubt he ever made a decision not based on what was best for Tennessee. Incidentally, when you called 974-
Did you know that Elvis Presley is indirectly responsible for the founding of the Tennessee Archive of Moving Image and Sound at the East Tennessee History Center?
Jake Mabe Pull up a chair and let me tell you about it. Film archivist, Bearden native and uber Elvis fan Bradley Reeves attended an Orphans Film Symposium in Columbia, S.C., a few years ago. He took with him a Super 8mm version of Elvis’ 1968 NBC-TV “comeback” special. Librarians do not normally get all shook up over Elvis. But when he screened part of the special, he noticed one woman who was “really diggin’ it, man.” That turned out to be

Ford 1, UT 0 Shhh, don’t tell anybody. Bud Ford is back near the news. Try to keep it quiet. The former UT associate athletic director for media relations, arm-wrestling the university over a post-retirement service contract rejected by Dave Hart, is going to St. Louis next week. Bud will pay his own way, take one more bow and receive a lifetime achievement award from America’s sports information directors. This is big stuff, top of the mountain among those who still serve what remains of the media. In his 45 and a half years

you’ve got one. If yours has a blue box on the front talking about reprinting the edition to meet demand and a box on the masthead that says “special edition,” you’ve got the mass-produced one. Reeves has been defending Elvis to critics that for some insane reason turned their nose up to The King and missed his magic. I guess Elvis didn’t seem hip to a generation turned on to Bob Dylan and The Beatles, but if all you know of him is either “Elvis the Pelvis” or the sweaty, bloated Southern Gothic caricature, you’ve missed Elvis Presley. And you’ve missed the point. “Listen to the voice. Listen to the feeling he puts into each song, even on the worst movie soundtrack. He’s giving it everything he has. “He did such a wide range of great music and did it well. Nobody else can say that.” Plus, Presley helped put into motion events that would lead to the preservation of East Tennessee’s rich film, TV and music history. They didn’t call him The King for nothin.’ Visit Jake Mabe online at jakemabe. blogspot.com.
1212, somebody answered the phone. When asked to retire, it was correct for him to step aside. He is 67. I thought the university should have honored the historian contract without discussion. The previous athletic director made the agreement. The chancellor knew about it. A deal, signed and dated, is a deal. Eliminate the job? Clear the decks, make way for the new guys? Save $40,000? In a many-million-dollar department, this would have been a token investment for institutional memory. Dave Hart, clearly in charge of all athletics, should have said OK and spent an additional $300 – for a gold watch. Marvin West invites reader reaction. His address is westwest6@netzero.com.

United States until his tale I did a double take. He was told in a 1919 edition of looked familiar, a bit like The Saturday Evening Post. Gary Cooper. He then became a living legend. He and his longtime sweetheart, Gracie Williams, were married by no less than Tennessee Gov. Albert Roberts in York’s native Pall Mall, an unincorporated area near Jamestown, after the war. York refused to cash in on his fame, opting instead to live in Pall Mall (where he was not universally liked) to establish The Alvin C. York Foundation to boost educational opportunities in the rural area. York said, “The only way to break the vicious cycle of poverty that grips this region is through education.” He turned down offers to film his story until 1940, when he negotiated the film contract himself. The result was the Howard Hawks classic “Sgt. York” (1941), which stars Gary Cooper. Cooper won an Oscar for Best Actor and “Sgt. York” Ted Griffith and Doug Harned stand beside the Alvin C.

The Nashville Rotary gave York 400 acres of land and a heavily-mortgaged home. York had to borrow money to stock the farm. The Rotary, which was paying for the land in installments, was unable to meet its commitments. An appeal to Rotary Clubs nationwide helped get York out of a jam. Andrew Jackson York told me that the only Tennessee governor to ever visit the home was Ned Ray McWherter. That is pathetic.

Wayland to hang up organist robe By Ruth White
Stephanie Wayland has been playing the organ in church since she was a 15-year-old girl and was a summer associate at Eastminster Presbyterian Church in East Knoxville. Wayland’s love for playing the organ and hearing hymns began at an early age while her father was overseas during World War II. She and her mother moved in with her Grandmother Perry while her dad was gone to war. Every night while her mom and aunts cleaned up the supper dishes, Grandmother Perry would go to the parlor and play hymns on the piano. “I loved hearing her play and singing ‘The Ninety and the Nine,’ ” said Wayland. “I can still remember the words to that beautiful song.” Her grandmother paid for piano lessons from the time Wayland was 7 years
old through her high school years. When Stephanie’s family moved next door, she continued to go to her grandmother’s home and play. “It was a special time,” she said. “My grandmother would bake cookies for me when I came over to play the piano.” As a child she attended a wedding and Christmas service and, while listening to the beautiful instruments, she knew she wanted to play them. At the age of 10, she loved the sound. Wayland attended Central High School and was fortunate to learn and grow under music director Charlie Sanders. “Mr. Sanders took some of us aside and told us that we had what it took to go into music.” Sanders diverted Wayland from a career in nursing to a career in music. Following high school she traveled to Indiana University where she majored in or-

Fresh Vine-Ripe Tomatoes
Between the two passages quoted above, Jesus fed the 5,000. I can relate. It was what I call “a day in the Refuge.” It was the normal (mostly pleasant) confusion of lots of folks, lots of needs, enough volunteers (thank God), and one person’s enthusiastic conversation on the phone, which happens to be situated just outside my office door, for semi-strict monitoring purposes. I had survived a truly awful day earlier in the week, and was still trying to put my reports (and my nervous system) back together. Additionally, I was up against some deadlines, which always raises the adrenaline level. One of our neighbors stuck his head in to say “Hello,” and ask how I was doing. “I have too many plates I am trying to keep in the air,” I replied. He grinned at me and said, “What you need is a baseball bat!” I laughed and kept typing. Then I stopped. I realized the import of what he had said. I went out to the lobby area where he was talking to the person behind the desk. I put my hand on his shoulder and said, “You know, you are a wise man. You are absolutely right. I need to take a good swing at some of those things and just get rid of them! Get ’em outta here!” He grinned at me, and
Lynn Hutton CROSS CURRENTS asked, “Will you do it?” “I already am doing it,” I told him. It is true. I am in the process of giving up some things I love because there were just too many plates to juggle. And because life is about more than work, even work I enjoy. I need time. Like Jesus, I need time to be still, to pray, to go off into the wilderness (or to the creek) and think for a while. I need to refill the wells. I have to say, though, that writing for this space is not one of the things I am willing to give up. This is one of the ways I work things out, how I consider meaning, how I deal with life, how I wrestle with Scripture, how I praise my Maker. I am so grateful for the ways in which Jesus’ example gives me permission to be who I am, and to be true to myself. And when the needs of the people I serve are really great, he will give me the strength and patience to help them. Even without a baseball bat.

A-8 • JUNE 18, 2012 • HALLS/FOUNTAIN CITY SHOPPER-NEWS
The interns have arrived! By Ruth White It is summertime and that can only mean one thing – the Shopper interns have arrived and are ready to venture out and get to know Knoxville up close and personal. Sarah Dixon is a rising 9th grade student at Halls High. She is most interested in politics and government (you may have found your successor, Sandra) and music. Through the intern program Dixon hopes to better her people and writing skills. Caroline Longmire will be a sophomore at Gibbs High next school year. She is a second-year intern who hopes to meet influential people at the places she visits this summer. Described as smart, responsible and caring, Longmire enjoys English and science courses at school. Elizabeth Longmire is also a rising sophomore at Gibbs High and back for a second round of interning this summer. This independent, driven leader plans on a future in broadcast journalism and hopes to gain more knowledge on the subject through the program. Madison Noe returns for a second year of the Shopper intern program and will be a sophomore
at Halls High in the fall. Noe likes science and music classes and hopes to gain more knowledge about different places in Knoxville. Asked if she would rather walk by a stream or climb a mountain, Noe responded, “Climb the mountain!” So, it is not surprising that her favorite song is “Don’t Stop Believing” by Journey. Jacob Messing will attend Karns High in the fall as a 9th grade student. He enjoys science and technology and watching the New York Yankees. Described as curious, i ntel l igent and hopeful, Messing Messing would prefer to climb a mountain over walking by a stream. Mitchell Kolinsky is a rising sophomore at CAK and loves being in the outdoors, whether it be playing football or enjoying the scenery. If he had to choose between walking by a stream or climbing a tall mountain, Kolinsky is ready to conquer the mountain. During the internship he hopes to fine-tune his people skills and experience new things. Ethan Sanders will be a 7th grade student at Halls

Middle School in the fall. Sanders is interested in technology and music, and enjoys cheering for the Tennessee Vols. If he had to walk by a stream or climb a tall mountain, Sanders would conquer the mountain. Melinda Taylor is a rising 9th grade student at Catholic High. She enjoys music and English and watching the U.S. Olympic swim team. T a y l o r admires writers and hopes to Taylor improve her writing skills and experience life as a journalist through the internship. Mitchell “Chill” Zavadil is a rising 9th grade student and is deciding between attending Farragut High and Catholic for school in the fall. Zavadil is a musician and likes any song written by the Beatles. He is also interested in technology and enjoys capturing life on video. He would rather walk by a stream as opposed to climbing a mountain. Through the intern program Zavadil hopes to gain a better understanding of how businesses work.
Elizabeth Longmire, right, plans to work in broadcast journalism.

By Elizabeth Longmire During our first day as Shopper-News interns, we took a tour of the Knoxville News Sentinel and experienced what it is like to work at a daily newspaper. Our tour guide, commercial print coordinator Karen Schmidt, first took us in the office area where you could find people hard at work on the next day’s paper. After checking out what it was like to see what was actually going into the paper, we got to see the printing process in action. Schmidt took us to the room where pictures are developed onto the plates, a process that involves lasers and very detailed work to make sure none of the ink is smudged or blurred. We were then taken to the place where the magic happens. Before us was a $20 million, 12-tower printing press that came all the way from Germany. Completely computer operated, the press can print a maximum of 70,000 papers in an hour. The News Sentinel, The Oak Ridger and the UT

NEWS FROM THE MYERS LAW FIRM
New firm experienced in personal injury lawsuits Michael Alan Myers
T
he law firm is new, but the lawyers have wide-ranging experience in civil law, especially personal injury, car accident, and workers’ compensation law. Laura Bradley Myers and Michael Alan Myers have opened The Myers Law Firm at 3232 Tazewell Pike in the Realty Executives building. They have a combined 30 years of legal experience. “We both have a background in civil defense work,” said Laura. “We began our careers working for insurance companies. Now we represent people.” Mike and Laura met while students at the UT College of Law and were married following graduation. They have lived in Fountain City for 12 years and have twin boys. Mike is a native of Claiborne County, Laura of South Florida. She speaks fluent Spanish.
Mike is an honors graduate of the University of Tennessee College of Law, where he finished in the top 20 percent of his class. He is a trial lawyer with more than 15 years of professional experience in car accident, truck accident, premises liability, and construction law cases. He, too, has recovered millions of dollars for his clients. Mike was born on Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, where his father was a master sergeant in the USAF. The family returned to Tazewell after his dad’s retirement and both parents, Bill and Inge Myers, taught in Claiborne County schools. Following his graduation from Claiborne County High School, Mike attended UT on an Air Force ROTC and academic scholarship. Following graduation, Mike was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the USAF where he served eight years before returning to UT to attend law school.
Laura Bradley Myers Laura is an accomplished trial lawyer who has recovered millions of dollars for her injured clients. She has extensive professional experience in personal injury, car accident, premises liability, and workers’ compensation law, and has been lead trial counsel in more than 70 bench and jury trials. She also has resolved hundreds of cases via mediation and alternative dispute resolution. While at UT Law, Laura earned membership on the Tennessee Law Review. She is an award-winning published author, and, in 2001, the Tennessee Supreme Court cited her work on emotional distress injuries in a published full-court opinion. Laura graduated from UT Law with honors, finishing in the top 25 percent of her class. She then clerked at the Tennessee Supreme Court for the Honorable Adolpho A. Birch Jr., former TSC chief justice. Following her clerkship, Laura worked in Knoxville as a civil defense lawyer, gaining a unique perspective and insight into what it takes to successfully prosecute accident and injury claims against insurance companies.
Laura Bradley Myers Within five years, she was peer-assessed a distinguished BV rated trial lawyer. She has served as an adjunct Professor of Law at UT Law, and has been a guest lecturer in trial advocacy classes at UT Law. She has tried and won cases at every level of the Tennessee court system, from trial courts to appellate advocacy at the Tennessee Supreme Court. Laura has also worked extensively with children injured in car accidents, as a result of animal attacks, and as guests on business or personal premises. “I have two little boys. I look at a hurt kid and it’s easy to understand how they hurt, and how their parents hurt. It’s a very motivational situation for me.” Laura is a member of the Knoxville and Tennessee Bar Associations, the Tennessee Association for Justice, and the East Tennessee Lawyers’ Association for Women. She is also a member of the Hamilton Burnett Chapter of the American Inns of Court.
A commissioned officer in the Air Force from 1986-94, Mike was a missile launch officer based in South Dakota. Assignments included service as missile combat crew flight commander and instructor commander. He also trained missile combat crews on wartime operations. Later, he was transferred to Fort Walton Beach, Fla., where he was director of jointservice special operations education. Professionally, Mike has been lead counsel in more than 50 jury and bench trials. He has also represented many clients in cases that have been successfully resolved via mediation, arbitration and alternative dispute resolution. He carries a significant background in automobile and homeowners’ insurance law, personal injury law, construction law and governmental law. Mike is a member of the Knoxville and Tennessee Bar Associations, and has been named a Master of the Bench in the Hamilton Burnett Chapter of the American Inns of Court.
Community service Laura volunteers on Saturdays with Salem Baptist Church of Halls in their community missions outreach programs. In August, she will travel on mission with Northstar Church to Managua, Nicaragua. She enjoys running, hiking, reading, traveling with her family, and “anything my kids are doing.” Laura and Mike are actively involved in all of their sons’ activities, including Fountain City rec league baseball, Cub Scouts, and Upward soccer. Mike is a member of, and legal counsel to, the Shannondale Elementary School Educational Foundation Board. He’s a proud member of the American Legion and serves on the House Corporation Board of Delta Tau Delta fraternity at UTK. Mike also is chairman of the KellyEdwards Memorial Endowed Scholarship at UTK. He enjoys UT athletics, hiking, and spending time with his family.

NEWS FROM WEAVER HEARING AID CENTER
Hear better for the best of your life at Weaver Hearing Aid Center By Sandra Clark Gary Weaver has seen big changes in hearing aid technology over the last six months. As an independent, locally owned and operated hearing aid specialist, Weaver can use any manufactur-er that meets his expectations. “We spend a lot of time testing technology, and I’m especially intrigued by the new ‘smart’ hearing aids,” he said. So Weaver has selected brands which he labels, “good, better and best.” He based his choices on these criteria: Good – simple to use and affordably priced; ideal for those living at their own pacee who do not need the bells and whistles on a more complex model. These hearing aids are easy to use, Gary said, and offer multiple features but most features are automatic. They are comfort-
able to wear and easier to keep clean. Better – moderately sophisticated, these hearing aids are for people who are getting along in life with more free time; people who are not concerned with the latest gadgetrry. “This aid has the features that these folks need, including easy telephone usage and removal of background noise. It is tried and true, reliable with quality you can count on.” Best – This model is ultrasophisticated with Bluetooth compatibility. “This model works well in all environments, bar none,” said Gary. It is ideal for the on-the-go person who is juggling work, family and w volunteer responsibilities. Why three categories? Gary said it’s simple. He’s got patients in all three groups. Most of the new aids have connectiv-

Each aid comes with a remote device, similar to a television’s remote control. You can adjust the volume in one ear or both, again wirelessly. Gary and Belinda Weaver are celebrating their 14th year in business. With a convenient office in Franklin Square, the Weavers are available during business hours to consult with clients or counsel them on specific problems. Gary will program every device that he sells and will stand behind it – very important for such a major investment.

Virginia College celebrates Fountain City facility
By Alvin Nance Each KCDC property benef its from the m a n y w ond e r ful partnerships we have with local social service Nance organizations. I cannot fully express my gratitude for these agencies that provide extra support for our residents, especially those with special needs. KCDC recently began a new partnership with Compassion Coalition, a nonprofit that connects faith-based organizations with service opportunities, and I have been astounded at the positive response we have received from this group. In April, the Compassion Coalition invited our KCDC staff to present to representatives of around 90 faith-based organizations who attended the organization’s Salt and Light Luncheon. Our staff presented the specific needs of the senior residents at the Manor at Northgate Terrace, an independent living facility in North Knoxville for those experiencing problems with the aging process. The Manor provides a great service to our area’s seniors, including supportive services like two meals daily delivered to each room, laundry ser-
vice, daily safety checks and housekeeping services for a fi xed monthly rate of $495. The Manor serves 41 total seniors, and 15 of our residents are over the age of 80. We have four residents over the age of 90! Since that meeting, we have received an outpouring of monetary and in-kind donations to help residents of the Manor. Volunteers have been lining up to come in and help out as needed. One organization connected through the Compassion Coalition volunteered to repot all of the plants in the Manor’s sitting areas. Another organization donated a year’s supply of laundry detergent to reduce the seniors’ monthly costs. All monetary donations have gone toward scholarships to cover rent for low-income seniors to ease their financial burden. The Compassion Coalition has connected us with their network of nearly 200 faith-based organizations. Their support is an added value to our residents and helps us create a better program and a better life at the Manor at Northgate Terrace. I am so thankful to executive director Grant Standifer and the rest of the Compassion Coalition for their support of the Manor and for seeing the importance of serving the elderly here in our community. Alvin Nance is executive director of KCDC.

NEWS FROM BEST CHOICE ROOFING
Hope for homeowners Local roofing company helps gain re-inspections for hail and wind damaged homes
F
or homeowners whose insurance companies told them “no,” Best Choice Roofing wants to take a second look and tell them “yes.” Senior claims managers with Best Choice Roofing are trained to find hail and wind damage to homes, and they work with a homeowner to assist them with filing an insurance claim or a re-inspection when a storm damages a home. Darrell and Pam Judd, Knoxville homeowners, had all but given up on getting repairs made to their house after the hailstorms that hit last spring. The Judds’ home needed a new roof, new siding, new gutters, new metal roof for their shed and a long list of other repairs. Pam said she and her husband had contacted more than 10 different companies, and no one wanted to tackle all of their repairs.
“They would come out, meet with us and take measurements. That’s the last we’d hear from them,” Pam said. “We’d call and leave messages. Nobody ever called us back.” Pam said everything changed when she and her husband found Senior Claims manager Aaron Killian with Best Choice Roofing. “He did a great job,” Pam said. “He called us back and checked in with us. He had time for us when nobody else did.” Killian did an inspection of the Judds’ home and found damage not covered in the original estimate from their insurance company, so he assisted the Judds with fi ling for a re-inspection. “The Judds’ circumstances are not uncommon,” Killian said. “It’s not that the insurance companies are being unethical. Some damage may get overlooked, or the insurance adjuster may consider it to be negligible.”
When that happens, Killian says that repairs do not get covered by the claim, or the claim gets denied altogether. Killian added, “But if there’s damage, there’s damage, and when it’s weather-related, the insurance company should pay for it within the guidelines of the homeowner’s policy. That’s where it’s critical to have us on your side so that we can show the adjuster all of the damage. “Homeowners need an advocate. They need someone to meet with the adjuster who speaks their language. It’s hard to argue with a guy on a roof.” Killian said that commonly overlooked or denied damage may include metal roofs, siding, gutters, fascia metal, window screens, light fi xtures and more. Killian contacted the Judd’s insurance company, requested a re-inspection and met with the insurance adjuster to show him the damage the original estimate did not cover. The updated claim allowed the Judds to make all of the repairs to their home caused by last year’s hailstorm – including interior damage, siding and fence work. “I was excited because I got the whole house repaired. They even took care of a little window that the storm broke out,”
Aaron Killian talks with Darrell Judd about hail damage repairs. Pam said. “I was real pleased with them, and the workers were real nice. … I’d recommend them to anyone.”

NEWS FROM TEMPLE BAPTIST ACADEMY
Class of 2012 looks to the future By Allison Donovan
O
n Monday evening, May 21, Temple Baptist Academy held its 35th annual high school graduation ceremony. Family and friends gathered for the special occasion to show their support for the seniors of this year’s class. As the graduates entered Temple Baptist Church to the sounds of “Pomp and Circumstance,” a sense of accomplishment could be seen on their faces. Principal David Whitaker began the ceremony with a greeting, and Vice Principal Tim Missey led an opening prayer. Valedictorian Amanda Brock addressed the audience and her classmates, recounting some of the many memories she has made while attending the Academy since kindergarten. She then challenged her fellow students to take the time to seize every opportunity God
gives and follow the admonition of Proverbs 3:5-6 to “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.” Salutatorian Timothy Burley reflected on those who influenced his life. He expressed his gratitude to God for family and friends who invested in him and encouraged him by making his education possible. He said, “I am here to tell our senior class that I know with God’s help we will achieve whatever we set our hearts to do.” Dr. Clarence Sexton, pastor of the Temple Baptist Church, was the commencement speaker. He reminded the graduates of the gift of education they have received and that the graduation ceremony is not an ending, but a new beginning –
an opportunity to continue in their pursuit of God and His will for their lives. Sexton exhorted the class to develop a philosophy of life that grows out of knowing God. The graduates of Temple High School’s class of 2012 are excited about their future and are eager to build on the foundation they received while attending school. A number of students from this year’s class plan to pursue a college education in a v a r ie t y of fields.

Summer sports camps in Powell By Taryn Jones
Fifth grader Autumn Arsenault won first place in the state competition for vocal solo and violin solo.
Seventh grader Stephen Lockett contemplates his next chess move.
Students excel in fine arts By Michelle Baker The 2011-2012 school year was one of high achievement in music and fine arts at Temple Baptist Academy. From elementary to junior high and high school, students excelled in both individual and group competitions. Students competed at the district, state and national levels. At the Tennessee
Association of Christian Schools (TACS) state academic and fine arts competition in Murfreesboro, Temple brought home 46 awards. Twenty of those were first place awards. The Temple debate team finished in third place at the American Association of Christian Schools (AACS) national competition in Greenville, S.C.
One of the trademarks of the Academy at Temple is that so many of the students are not just honing their academic skills, but striving for excellence in both athletics and fine arts. It is not at all uncommon to find a Temple student going from competing on the basketball court one minute to presenting a stirring piece on the violin the next.
Crown College, in conjunction with Mount Moriah Christian Camp and Temple Baptist Academy, is hosting Crown Championship Sports Camps this summer. These camps will provide a great opportunity for team and individual instruction. Championship coaches who know what it takes to compete at a high level will be working with each athlete. Time will be invested in the teaching and reinforcement of sound fundamentals, as well as team play and game situations. The sports camps are being directed by coach Jared Berry of Temple Baptist Academy. In addition to athletic instruction, campers will have the opportunity to enjoy activities at the 110acre Mount Moriah Camp located on the outskirts of Powell. Camp activities include the 800-foot zipline known as “The Screamer,” the water slide and swimTemple Baptist Academy 8th grader Jordan Sullivan. ming pool and more.
Championship Sports Camps ● June 25-29: Boys Basketball with coach Del Wubbena ● July 2-6: Elementary Sports (no Wednesday camp) ● July 16-20: Soccer with coach Shannon Sexton ● July 23-27: Girls Volleyball with coach Lea Turner

Health & Lifestyles News From Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center
COVENANT HEALTH: ALL HEART Innovative valve centers offer specialty cardiovascular care locally care here,” said Jim VanderSteeg, executive vice president of hospital operations for Covenant Health. Valve centers will be staffed by experienced cardiovascular surgeons, cardiologists, nurses and other professional medical staff who are educated in the latest protocols expertly trained in the latest procedures.” “If you have a heart problem, we
Even the most complex cardiovascular problems can now be treated in Knoxville. Covenant Health is debuting “valve centers” at Parkwest Medical Center, Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center and Methodist Medical Center. “The opening of the valve centers mean that a certain population of patients who used to be referred to places such as Vanderbilt or the Cleveland Clinic can receive their specialty
Breakthrough TAVR Procedure now available ‘Chest-cracking’ not needed for certain heart patients What if a heart valve could be replaced without surgically opening the chest cavity? That “what if” is now a reality for some patients. “For certain patients, a heart valve will be able to be replaced endovascularly using a wire,” said Dr. Chadwick Stouffer, a cardiothoracic surgeon. “Traditional surgery would require a large incision and dividing the breastbone. The risks and recovery time associated with TAVR are much less in comparison.” To be eligible for the TAVR, patients must have severe aortic stenosis and be deemed not a candidate for traditional surgery. Covenant Health has been selected as the only entity in Knoxville to have surgeons trained in the TAVR procedure by Edwards Lifesciences. TAVR is short for Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement. TAVR is a percutaneous procedure recently proven to be an appropriate alternative to standard medical care (a combination of careful ob-
servation, medications and balloon aortic valvuloplasty.) TAVR is appropriate for select patients with severe aortic stenosis (narrowing of the aortic valve opening) who are not candidates for surgery and those who are at very high risk. In the United States, TAVR continues to be studied as part of the PARTNER (Placement of Aortic Transcatheter Valves) trial which studied inoperable patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis. Compared to standard medical care, among the inoperable patients who had TAVR, the procedure reduced their absolute risk of dying by 20 percent. The risk of mortality decreased from 50 percent to 30 percent. Dr. Mike Ayres, Dr. Thomas Pollard, Dr. Chadwick Stouffer, and Dr. Nicholoas Xenopoulos are &RYHQDQW +HDOWK¶V ¿UVW physicians to be trained in TAVR. 7R ¿QG RXW PRUH DERXW whether TAVR is right for you, call 541-4500 or visit www.covenanthealth.com/ heartcare.
FDA-approved in November 2011, the Edwards SAPIEN Transcatheter Heart Valve is the first biologic transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) therapy approved for use in the U.S. Select hospitals are now performing the procedure on qualified patients. This transcatheter procedure enables the placement of a collapsible aortic heart valve into the body via a catheterbased delivery system, which allows the valve to be inserted via the femoral artery in the thigh. The valve is designed to replace a patient’s diseased native aortic valve without traditional openheart surgery and while the heart continues to beat – eliminating the need for cardiopulmonary bypass.
can treat it,” said Dr. Mike Ayres, cardiologist. “When it comes to cardiac care, Covenant Health is ‘all heart.’ What patients want is better outcomes, fewer complications and higher survival rates, and the comprehensive coordination of care made possible by the valve centers help us deliver.” A new $2.6 million hybrid operating room which opened this spring at Parkwest is part of the plan. It is used primarily for cardiac and vascular
procedures performed by members of multiple Covenant Health medical staffs. Parkwest is one of only 140 sites in the nation to offer Trans Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR), an innovative procedure to replace diseased aortic valves. It is the first Knoxville hospital to have this capability. For more information about the valve centers of Covenant Health, visit w w w. c o v e n a n t h e a l t h . com/heartcare or call 541-4500.
Aortic Stenosis
The leaflets of a calcified aortic valve are unable to open wide, obstructing blood flow from the left ventricle into the aorta. The narrowed valve allows less blood to flow through and as a result, less oxygen-rich blood is pumped out to the body, which may cause symptoms like severe shortness of breath. With the TAVR procedure, an artificial device (see SAPIEN valve, pictured at left) opens the aortic heart valve wide to allow oxygen-rich blood to flow unobstructed in one direction. The blood flows through the valve into the aorta where it then flows out to the rest of the body. Illustration courtesy of Edwards Lifesciences.
Hybrid operating room enables novel and less invasive treatment options In much the same way as ÀRZHU RU IUXLW YDULHWLHV DUH developed to maximize the desirable traits of the plants, a “hybrid operating room” combines the best of a traditional surgical suite with large imaging equipment such as real time x-ray and CT in a sterile setting. Such an operating room is now open at Parkwest. “Hybrid operating rooms allow surgeons and their colleagues to perform combined open, minimally invasive, image-guided and/or catheter-based procedures in the same OR in the same operative setting,” explained cardiothoracic surgeon Chadwick W. Stouffer, M.D., who was involved in the design of the hybrid OR for Parkwest along with colleagues Thomas R. Pollard, M.D.,
A team of physicians was instrumental in the design of a “hybrid operating room” (seen in background) which combines the best of a traditional surgical suite with large, real-time imaging equipment in a sterile setting.

“If you are facing aortic aneurysm surgery or aortic valve replacement, you
may have a less invasive option and a quicker recovery,” Stouffer said.
“The hybrid OR concept is gaining popularity around the nation, although just a few years ago, only large teaching hospitals had them,” said Parkwest CAO Rick Lassiter. “The hybrid OR allows less invasive, endovascular treatment of aortic aneurysms in the chest and abdomen via catheters placed in the arteries in the groin.” ³:H ZHUH QRW WKH ¿UVW LQ the area to have a hybrid OR, but we do have the newest equipment with more ‘bells and whistles’ than anywhere else,” said C.

primarily isolated to the Cleveland Clinic.” Approximately $2.6 million has been invested in the creation of a 1,100-squarefoot hybrid operating room which will contain a state of the art Toshiba imaging system, as well as the full complement of standard operating room equipment. Cardiothoracic Surgeon Thomas R. Pollard, M.D. said that the hybrid OR is about twice the size of a normal operating room and has a separate control room for the state of the art imaging equipment. “This will allow us to expand on the surgical procedures provided previously,” stated Pollard. “We will be able to care for patients who were previously too highrisk for a standard open operation.”
All Heart. All Here. No longer does getting treatment for the most complex heart problems mean going somewhere else.
Covenant Health is East Tennessee’s first and only health system to offer the innovative TAVR procedure for replacing heart valves in patients who cannot have open-heart surgery. Procedures will be performed at Parkwest Medical Center in a new $2.6 million surgical suite designed specifically for minimally invasive cardiac procedures.
