Movies, movies Betsy Pickle looks ahead at three new movies: “Mortdecai,” starring Johnny Depp, is based on the character Charlie Mortdecai created by English author Kyril Bonfiglioli in a trilogy of novels in the 1970s. George Lucas came up with the story for “Strange Magic,” which features elves, fairies, imps and goblins – no Ewoks or Wookiees. Jennifer Lopez returns to what feels like familiar territory with “The Boy Next Door. Lopez plays a teacher who unwisely has a one-night stand with a much-younger neighbor.

By Ruth White Jim McMichael understands the importance of vocational programs in the school system. The 1959 Fulton High grad went through the school’s program, learning valuable skills and making friends that have lasted a lifetime. With the help of Volunteer Street Rod Association members
and O’Reilly’s Auto Parts, McMichael is giving back to area vocational programs. He and longtime friend Morris Smith stopped by David Wilburn’s auto body shop at North Knox Vocational last week and brought an array of supplies for the group. McMichael arrived in his fully restored 1954 Chevy Sedan Delivery, a vehicle he proudly drives
every day, and students were able to look under the hood and see the beautiful restoration work. Several students commented that seeing the car has encouraged them to continue with their own restorations. Inside the back of the vehicle was a new plastic welder for the class, along with other supplies. Wilburn was thrilled with the

The difficult task of regulating signs By Wendy Smith It took three years of meetings for the eight-member Sign Ordinance Task Force to finish its work on a new ordinance that will now go to City Council for consideration. It’s been difficult work, but Duane Grieve, council member and committee chair, commended the dedication of task force members who rarely missed meetings and worked together in spite of differing opinions. If you can’t imagine how a group could spend three years
talking about signs, here are just a few examples of signs that are addressed by the new ordinance: bulletin board signs (those used in front of schools or churches to announce meetings), directory signs, historic signs, menu boards, electronic message center signs, monument signs, pole signs, sidewalk signs and window signs. In addition to sign height, the ordinance addresses sign placement, sign landscaping, illumination and abandoned signs. If you can’t imagine how people could disagree over anything other
than the height of pole signs, here’s an example from last week’s meeting. Current city standards do not define, regulate or require a permit for window signs. The proposed ordinance prohibited window signs − defined as any sign within a window facing the street for the purpose of advertising, composed of letters, symbols or lighting − that exceed 25 percent of the window area or 20 square feet. Grieve said he didn’t mind regulating signs outside of businesses but wasn’t comfortable with regulating signs inside of businesses,

even if they faced outside. He preferred not to address window signs. Joyce Feld, a board member of Scenic Knoxville, said that if you can see it from a public right-of-way, it’s a sign, and one of the group’s purposes was to improve the aesthetics of the public right-of-way. Gary Hayes pointed out that it would be hard to separate permanent signs from periodical signs in windows.

If it weren’t for auto body class, I fear that they wouldn’t attend.” Following the visit in Halls, the pair headed up the ridge and made a stop at Central High School.

The center is open each weekday, offering a variety of activities like billiards, quilting, painting, exercise classes and luncheons. The center is open 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday, Wednesday and Friday and 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Tuesday and Thursday. In addition to regularly scheduled classes, Super Senior luncheons are held on the second Tuesday of each month, beginning at 10:30 a.m. Each features
Botanical Garden goal is to be finished by Aug. 1. We chose these architects because they developed Yew Dell Gardens in Louisville on property that was an old nursery, like this one. De Leon and Primmer loves working with nonprofits, taking what you have and showing how you can use what you have and make the most of it. And what we have here are these gorgeous stone walls.” The Knoxville Botanical Garden and Arboretum encompasses 47 acres of what was once a massive, 2,000acre property granted to a Howell ancestor for his Revolutionary War service. “At one time it was the largest nursery in the U.S. and started before Knoxville became a city,” Ashe said. Joan Ashe and her husband, Victor, became interested in the gardens while they were living in Warsaw during Victor’s stint as U.S. Ambassador to Poland, after founding board member Jim McDonough sold them on the idea. They became active supporters when they returned to the States in 2009. The Martha H. Ashe Garden was dedicated in 2010 and is named for Victor Ashe’s mother, who was active in local gardening and beautification efforts including helping to found the Dogwood Arts Festival. “Victor had already given a sizable donation to the garden while we were in Poland, and having semi-grown up here, I remember what it was like before Victor took office, when we didn’t have any of these parks – no Lakeshore Park, no Ashe Park, very few greenways – so supporting the garden seemed like a logical continuation of that,” she said. Joan Ashe has chaired the KBGA board since 2011, and although she is stepping down as chair later this year, she’ll remain on the board until 2016.
Most of the memorials and celebrations surrounding the birthday of Martin Luther King Jr. came to an end on Jan. 19, the federal holiday honoring the late civil rights leader. One MLK exhibit will continue through the end of February, which is Black History Month. The Beck Cultural Exchange Center has assembled a collection of photos and contemporary art that puts the civil rights movement in artistic perspective. Titled “Remembering the Past While Standing in the Future,” the images attempt to capture important historic moments while articulating a vision of hope for the future. The display in the Beck gallery features photos from Knoxville’s civil rights demonstrations, including sitins and picketing at theaters and lunch counters along Gay Street. The pictures include young people who later became prominent leaders in the Knoxville Community. Another part of the ex-
hibit features original paintings and drawings by two African-American artists now active in Knoxville. Albert Baah has contributed a number of works portraying various aspects of the black experience in America. Baah, a native of Ghana, has served on the city’s Public Arts Committee. Alan Jones, who paints as Theophilus, is showing a vivid oil painting titled Altar Ego, as well as two pencil studies of civil rights leaders and events. Admission is free. The center is located at 1927 Dandridge Avenue and is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. till 6 p.m. The exhibit ends Feb. 28. The Beck Center is dedicated to collecting, preserving and exhibiting artifacts and other evidence of the history and culture of African-Americans in East Tennessee and the nation. It serves to create learning and teaching experiences that promote wisdom for present and future generations.

From page A-1 Ahrens hopes to have the structure to tackle sign enforcement by the end of this year, and he’s not concerned about the complexity of the sign ordinance. When City Council approves it, his department will dive in, he says. But he acknowledges that it’s a moving target. Once the new ordinance is adopted, the sign community will begin pushing the envelope. The Sign Ordinance Task Force deserves credit for its hard work. The hardest part was surely working together. “Trying to reach an equitable position is a difficult thing to do,” said member Don Parnell.

executed the homos like God recommends.” It’s another matter when brutality in the name of religion is state-sponsored. Saudi Arabia’s public flogging of a “liberal” (whatever that means on the Arabian Peninsula) blogger is the latest example. Sharia law is the template for Saudi governance. The Quran is what passes for a constitution for this U.S. ally. Murder and savagery cannot hide behind “cultural relativism.” I don’t need to form an opinion within the context of Muslim society to understand that executing journalists is an abomination, that the suicide-bombing of innocents is a vile, cowardly act, or that subjugating women is wrong. A debate familiar to anthropology students concerns the Incan practice of sacrificing children to their gods. Although we can’t understand such cultural values,
we do understand that the concept of human rights has evolved since the 16th century – for most of us. Those who kill and punish under the guise of religion would drag all humanity back half
a millennium or more. In the U.S. we devise “humane” ways to kill people who kill people. Maybe that’s crazy, too. But there’s no doubt about the sanity of these Sharia activists.

Knoxville mayor: Worth every penny
U.S. Rep. Jim Cooper of Nashville was one of only four House Democrats not to vote for Nancy Pelosi for House Speaker, but he voted for Colin Powell to be Speaker, as he did in 2013. House rules provide that a non-member may serve as Speaker. However, no House Speaker has ever not been a member at the same time. Powell is considered to be a moderate Republican. He endorsed Barack Obama for president in 2008 and 2012. An ordinance by Vice Mayor Nick Pavlis will increase Mayor Rogero’s salary to $142,500 and also increase her pension by $2,000 a year the rest of her life, with an annual 3 percent escalator starting when she leaves office and for her beneficiary, if adopted by City Council. This represents the first increase in the mayor’s salary since 2003 and is merited. Five city employees – Janet Wright, Charles Swanson, Bill Lyons, David Rausch and Christy Branscom – make more than Rogero makes now, and four of them will still make more if this pay raise goes through. Daniel Brown was paid $130,000 a year for the 11 months he served in 2011. When I became mayor in 1988 the salary was $50,000 a year. When Randy Tyree was first elected
mayor he earned $25,000 a year. During my tenure several city employees were paid more than the mayor. Frankly, the raise of $12,500 is very small compared to what it ought to be. $155,000 is comparable to the county mayor. Seems strange it is being brought up at this time and by someone who himself is mentioned as a mayoral candidate in 2019, or before, should Rogero not complete her second term. Four city employees making more than Rogero also receive a $4,000 annual car allowance on top of their salary, although in the case of Lyons, he lives four blocks from his office and walks to work. Hard to explain why he needs a car allowance when he does not drive to work. On the other hand, the argument that a higher salary is needed to attract more qualified persons to run for mayor is bogus. I cannot think of anyone serving as mayor – going back to George Dempster – for whom the salary prevented their candidacy. The salary should be an amount that is consistent with the duties of the office. The salary will not be what the private sector pays nor should it be. In fact, Rogero’s salary is more than she has ever made in any previous employment. As mayor she earns it and should be paid more than this ordinance provides. ■ John Gill, former U.S. attorney and longtime attorney with the Knox DA office, has had double knee replacements and is recovering well here in Knoxville. ■ Former Knoxville Mayor Randy Tyree turned 75 on Jan. 20.

Including the current mayor, there are six living persons who have held the office in the city’s 224-year history.
watch list and given an electronic alarm to call for help. One young beat cop made it his business to look out for her, but he couldn’t be there 24-7. Ultimately, in an odd twist, the stalker was killed by his would-be victim. The young cop who did more than he had to was Jeff Stiles. Over the years, I’d see his name in the news and was always glad to see good things happening for him.
Last week, it made me sad to see that he has been stricken with multiple myeloma and is fighting for his life in Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Next week, MEDIC and KPD are sponsoring a replacement blood drive for him. Please consider giving a pint for a good cop, Thursday, Jan. 29, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., third floor Civic Coliseum Ballroom.

New food code means healthier diners, higher health scores
Knox County residents who eat out, and pay attention, may have noticed that restaurant health scores have risen over the past year. The bad news is that higher scores didn’t come about through a sudden adherence to rules. But the good news is that the state’s updated food code puts a greater emphasis on keeping patrons healthy and less emphasis on structural issues. In 2013, the Tennessee General Assembly made the first significant change in how the state inspects retail food establishments in 30 years by adopting the 2009 FDA Food Code. The new code has changed inspections, which will now focus on problems that typically make people sick, says Knox County Director of Environmental Health Ronnie Nease. The state’s food industry worked together to bring about the changes. The biggest issues addressed by the new code are safe cooking temperatures,
Wendy Smith
safe holding temperatures, sanitization of utensils and equipment, personal hygiene of employees, and employee health policies that ensure the removal of sick employees from the establishment. The Knox County Health Department has 11 inspectors and one supervisor, and they like the new code better because they know that marking violations for problems with walls, floors and ceilings doesn’t keep people from getting sick, Nease says. They prefer talking to owners about food safety. “They feel like they’re doing public health.” The new code officially takes effect July 1, but over the past year, Knox County health inspectors have been getting additional education
and passing it on to owners. Inspections are now less about penalizing owners for violations than about educating them. The goal is for inspectors to address the process as well as the problem, he says. In the past, each restaurant was inspected twice a year. But the new code calls for the number of annual inspections to be based on risk. That means that a larger restaurant with a more complex menu will be inspected more often than a smaller food-service operation. Education extends beyond inspections. Classes for food handlers are offered once a month at the health department, and onsite education, which Nease likes because it allows for inspectors to address restaurant-specific issues, is also available. Inspectors are busier than ever. While the number of permits issued for foodservice operations leveled out during the recession, it is climbing again. There
are currently approximately 3,600 permitted facilities that require inspection. In addition to food-service operations, the list includes schools, day-care centers, convenience and grocery stores, tattoo parlors and the county’s 600 public swimming pools. Health scores have never been very meaningful to Nease, who began his Knox County career as an inspector. He’s seen restaurants with high scores where he wouldn’t want to eat, and restaurants with low scores where he’d be happy to eat. But the inspection process ensures that restaurants adhere to a high standard. “We are not as concerned about a score as we are about what can make people sick,” he says.

Hopson challenges Coats for KCEA prez It’s election time for some 2,000 members of the Knox County Education Association.
Betty Bean In the past, this announcement would have generated a big fat yawn from anybody but KCEA members, but that could change this year.

She was heavily criticized a year ago for saying that the public “doesn’t know what goes on behind closed doors” when the board
evaluates the superintendent. Then, at the January school board meeting, she chided a couple of new board members for asking questions about the yet-tobe-revealed pay to be drawn by former KCS chief of staff Russ Oaks in his new position as chief operating officer: “That is not what we do,” she said. “That is private.” Deathridge remained visibly skeptical even after board chair Mike McMillan and Superintendent James McIntyre told her that taxpayer-funded salaries are public information. Officer Stiles: Twentysome years ago, a young woman who lived in Walter P. Taylor Homes was being stalked by a former boyfriend intent on killing her. She was put on a special

Final score not important By Cindy Taylor
Morgan Holbert makes a basket in practice.
Special-needs kids and adults enter the gym at Sharon Baptist Church every Tuesday evening with glowing smiles and high-pitched excitement. Knoxville Challenger Sports (KCS) basketball has begun. The group practices and plays at SBC, and all special-needs players are invited to participate. Age and skill levels are not determining factors in getting on the court. “We have ages ranging from 5 years to 35 years among our teams of physically challenged kids and adults,” says organizer Nic Arning. “We separate teams by ability, not age, and everyone plays.” Sharon Baptist hosts KCS in the church gym at no charge. Cost to players is the purchase of a jersey. Board
members, coaches, referees and others volunteer their time. KCS was created to give recreational opportunities to children and young adults with special needs. “We’re still getting the word out that we exist,” says Arning. “We have been going for 17 years, and many people still don’t know about us.” The nonprofit began with Little League Challenger Baseball and now includes four additional sports. Basketball will finish in early March, and Challenger Baseball begins in April. The league goes year-round with basketball, baseball, swimming, golf and bowling for children and adults with special needs. Info: kchallengersports@ comcast.net or call Becky McMahan, 382-3469, or Nic Arning, 637-1403.

Runners brave the cold in ‘Race 4 Their Lives’ Knoxville’s second annual Race 4 Their Lives, held Jan. 10, drew 316 participants with 281 running in the 5K and another 35 registered for the walk, according to race organizer Pam Cantrell. Another 100 people volunteered for the race event, which was based at Market Square. The temperature was 23 at race time, Cantrell said. More than $17,000 was
raised, according to organizer Karen Harper. Money will be given to Freedom 4/24, a nonprofit organization that “exists to raise awareness of the sexual exploitation and human trafficking of women and children around the world and to provide financial support to partner organizations dedicated to bringing freedom and doing justice,” according to the website, www.freedom424.org.
OK, I will admit it: In my youth, I was a musical snob. In my own defense, I was too young when Elvis broke onto the scene to understand or appreciate his talent. I came to appreciate him much later. So I was surprised when his song “One Pair of Hands” showed up in our church service on Sunday. Even as I enjoyed listening to the song, this column was already taking shape. Jesus’ hands. We see them in many different ways in Scripture! We see them as tiny fists, as Jesus was laid down to sleep in a manger, in a cold and drafty stable. We see them as young and willing, helping Joseph in the carpenter’s shop. We see them as healing and comforting, reaching out to the young, the old, the lame, the hungry, the sick, even the dead! I think of his hands

Don’t fence me in While growing up, I wasn’t allowed to have a dog. We tried a few times, but dogs are messy, and my parents … well, let’s just sayy they’re not messy peoplee (they’re reading this). Anyway, I used to tell myy n mom and dad that as soon as I graduated from college, I was going to get married and buy a dog. And I did. We loved our dog, Whitney. We had a fenced-in backyard where she could run and chase birds and squirrels to her heart’s content. However, one day she escaped the confines of our yard, ran into the street and was killed by a passing truck. It was a sad day for our family. This article isn’t really about our dog but about the purpose of fences. The fence we had in the backyard was not an effort to punish or unnecessarily restrict our dog from “enjoying the good things of life.” It was there for protection. It was there for safety. Placed within the confines of the fence were all the things a dog needed for happiness. The fence wasn’t there to torment our dog but to keep her safe. Here’s the application: God loves us dearly and has “fenced us in,” not as punishment but as protection. There are things out there

I remember how he suddenly appeared among them, showing up in spite of locked doors. (What was our first clue that this was the resurrected Savior, alive forevermore??!) I remember how, once again, he was human and divine: He asked for something to eat! In the presence of those hands, I stand convicted of my own shortcomings.

Steve Higginbotham in the world that will ultimately lead to our hurt and ruin. God is not a killjoy. The rules and regulations he gives us, which restrict our conduct, are given with the intent of protecting us from harm. Within the confines of the Christian lifestyle are all the things a person needs to be happy, satisfied and fulfilled. But what do we do? We escape. We break through the barrier God built, and eventually we get hurt. How it must break God’s heart to witness his children “break free” from his constraints only to be hurt by the dangers he knew were just outside his “fence.” Friends, remember the commandments of God are not grievous, but good. They are given because God loves you and wants the best for you. Be content and satisfy yourself with the good God has fenced you in with, and trust him when he tells you not to go beyond his limits.

In most cases, though – and I’m just guessing here – it’s usually not a 6-foot-tall invisible white rabbit. There’s only one of those, and his name is Harvey. And Harvey’s best friend is a gentle soul named Elwood P. Dowd. If you’d like to know more about this unusual pair, as well as garner a few laughs for yourself and have a glass of good, locally made wine, check out the Tennessee Stage Company’s production of Mary Chase’s Pulitzer Prize-winning classic comedy, “Harvey.” It’s part of the stage company’s “Timeless Works” series, celebrating the company’s 25th anniversary. You probably know that Jimmy Stewart played Dowd in the movie of the same name. This production features Tennessee Stage Company’s founding artistic director Tom Parkhill in the role. He’s not new to it – Parkhill says he’s “sort of made a career out of playing Elwood P. Dowd,” having done it “five or six times.” But, he says, each production brings with it new casts and new ideas. And, he admits, “Every time I do
Tom Parkhill, center, as Elwood P. Dowd, tries to make a point to his sister, Veta, left, played by Eileen Conway, as her daughter, Myrtle Mae, played by Marlee Simmons, hopes for the best in the Tennessee Stage Company’s production of “Harvey.” Photo by Caitlin Corbitt
this show, it makes me want to be more like Elwood.” And no wonder. The character is an affable, charming eccentric, comfortable with himself and friendly with everyone he encounters. “I always have a wonderful time, wherever I am, whomever I’m with,” he declares. He’s the epitome of a kind, well-adjusted person. Except, of course, for that rabbit. Dowd introduces Harvey to everyone he meets, which causes complications for his scheming sister, Veta, who’s trying desperately to find a socially impressive husband for her daughter, Myrtle Mae. When the family tries to have Dowd committed to a sanitarium, hilarious complications ensue, and the outcome is probably not what you’d expect. The play’s director, Caitlin Corbitt, is a Nashville transplant who has worked with several Knoxville theater companies and who is on the board of Tiger Lily
Theatre, Knoxville’s only women’s theater company. She’s thrilled with her cast. “They really throw you for a loop,” she says. “I’ve just tried to stay out of their way! The play will be presented in the round at the newly refurbished Historic Southern Railway Station. Corbitt raves about the space, saying, “You immediately feel like you’ve walked into a mansion.” According to its website, the station, designed by architect Frank P. Milburn and built during 1903-1904, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and has been honored with various preservation awards. The building contains office and event spaces and offers tours Tuesdays through Sundays, including self-guided tours of several historic rail cars. The station also houses the Blue Slip Winery, “Knoxville’s first winery and Tennessee’s first urban
winery,” according to the website. “Our homegrown and handcrafted wines are made from Tennessee grapes and fruit. All wines are processed, bottled and sold on-site.” And the wine bar will be open during the run of “Harvey.” All in all, a wonderful experience awaits you the next two weekends. To quote one of Parkhill’s favorite lines from Elwood P. Dowd, “In this world you can be oh-sosmart, or oh-so-kind. For years I was smart. “I recommend kind.” The Tennessee Stage Company’s production of “Harvey” will be presented at 8 p.m. ThursdaySaturday, Jan. 22, 23 and 24; 2 p.m., Sunday, Jan. 25; 8 p.m. ThursdaySaturday, Jan. 29, 30 and 31; and 2 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 1.

The Original Louis’ Drive-In Restaurant Maybe the most important thing that comes with the combination platter at Louis’ Original Drive-In Restaurant is the take-home box. The platter promises Louis’ specialties, and it doesn’t fail to deliver. Well, I guess you could add a slice of pizza, but it would just mean you would need two take-home boxes. The combination platter is overflowing with spaghetti, a huge meatball and beefstuffed ravioli, all covered – and I do mean covered –

Greenways’ ServPro is ‘rising star’ A local disaster-cleanup franchise has won the Tennessee Small Business Development Center’s Rising Star award for 2014.

ServPro of Rocky Hill, Sequoyah Hills and South Knoxville is owned by John and Kristina Greenway. Their office is at 2444 Sutherland Ave. “John and Kristina Greenway have expanded their business from 1,900 square feet in 2009 to more than 16,000 square feet and 23 employees today,” said Larry Rossini, director of the Knoxville TSBDC, a division of Pellissippi State Community College. Kristina was a homebased entrepreneur and John was district manager for a pharmaceutical firm that downsized. After a bumpy start, they have exceeded expectations.

Historian tells stories By Sandra Clark Retired UT professor Bruce Wheeler says history is about stories, not dates, so he proceeded to tell some nice ones to the North K nox v ille Rotary Club last week at Dr. Wheeler Litton’s. The funniest was from Robert Lewis Dabney
(whose son Charles was later president of UT), a Civil War chaplain and Gen. Stonewall Jackson’s biographer. Dabney told of Georgia Sen. Robert Toombs who was confronted by a woman just prior to the war. “Can we beat them Yankees?” she asked. “We can beat them with cornstalks,” he answered. After Appomattox, the woman reminded him of his prediction. Toombs replied: “Madam, the SOBs would
not fight with cornstalks.” Wheeler now lives in Wears Valley. This story was told by a fiddle player sitting on his front porch: Seems the man’s parents had been Christian missionaries in Tibet prior to the communist takeover. He was born there but left when the family was given the choice to leave or be killed. Decades later the man and his wife journeyed back to his birthplace. The church and school had
been destroyed. The village was gone. Even the gravestones had been dug up and thrown over a cliff. He was devastated. Was his parents’ work in vain? They saw people walking toward them, going about their daily life. As they drew closer, Wheeler’s guest recognized their song. It was “Amazing Grace.” One more for MLK Day: Wheeler’s colleague Dr. Cynthia Fleming took students to Selma and Montgomery. There is a big star on the floor of the Alabama
Capitol entry. On that star Jefferson Davis was sworn in as president of the Confederacy. Some 100 years later Gov. George Wallace stood there to declare, “Segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever.” The UT students watched a school bus discharge a class of elementary school-aged children, all black. The teacher collected their chewing gum and they marched up the steps, walking over that star as they entered their Capitol.

The teams included The Bobcats of Bowling Green, Ky.; Eufala Housing of Eufala, Ala.; Showtymers of Bessemer, Ala.; Statesville Eagles of Statesville, N.C.; Alex City Lakers of Alexander City, Ala.; LHA Thunder of Laurel, Miss.; Hard Flight of Birmingham, Ala.; and Opp Bobcats of Opp, Ala. The teams were divided into three age categories, and tournament-style elimination games took place Jan. 17 with championship contests for each age group on Jan. 18 at the Emerald Youth Foundation gym. In addition to playing basketball, the Emerald Youth Foundation arranged for the teams to enjoy cultural and educational activities throughout the weekend. The players had the opportunity to tour Haley Farm, the historic home of the late Pulitzer Prizewinning author Alex Haley and site of the Children’s Defense Fund; and Green McAdoo Cultural Center, which commemorates the desegregation of Clinton High School. The basketball teams also were invited to participate in the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Commemorative Commission Annual MLK March Parade on Jan. 19. Although we had some great competition, this weekend was about so much more than basketball.

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER
Ignored hypertension ‘a shot across bow’ for young outdoorsman Outdoorsman. Policeman. Landscaper. Athlete.
Except for that troublesome left knee he’d had since his linebacker days under coach Johnny Majors, Jim Lambert was the proverbial picture of health. Or so he thought. But on the morning of Nov. 6, the 42-year-old Oliver Springs man learned otherwise. That was when Lambert, his speech slurred and numb in his left hand and leg, was airlifted from Roane Medical Center in Harriman to the Stroke Center at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center. “I didn’t believe it was stroke,” Lambert says today. “I thought, ‘No way! No way! I am always on the go.’ I didn’t think that’s what it was. I thought it was something else.” But Dr. James Hora, the neurohospitalist who examined him, says Lambert, a former police officer who now operates his own landscape business when he’s not out deer hunting, was only fooling himself. In fact, an MRI revealed that James Hora, Lambert had preMD viously suffered four small strokes. “I think there was an element of denial there,” said Dr. Hora, adding that Lambert had been warned by others about his hypertension before one of his five arthroscopic knee surgeries. “His blood pressure was through the roof – 248 over 180.” The day had begun like any other with Lambert cooking breakfast, but not without some difficulty. “I bumped into the refrigerator, then
Recognize the signs of a stroke FAST! The early symptoms of stroke are often overlooked or ignored. If you suspect that you or a loved one is having a stroke, think FAST: F – FACE: Look at your face. Is one side sagging? A – ARMS: Hold out your arms. Is one arm lower than the other or harder to hold in place? S – SPEECH: Is your speech slurred or garbled? T – TIME: Time is critical when trying to minimize the effects of stroke. Call 911 and get to a hospital as quickly as possible. And be sure your hospital is a stroke-ready, Comprehensive Stroke Center, like Fort Sanders Regional.
Jim Lambert, pictured with his fiancée, Bambi Akers, survived a stroke thanks to the treatment he received at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center. Now nearly three months later, he’ll walk down the aisle at his wedding to Akers. into the counter and then I hit the door frame as I was going down the step into the bedroom,” said Lambert. “It had rained a little that morning, and we really didn’t think it was anything more than arthritis,” said Lambert’s fiancée, Bambi Akers. After she left for work at a local day care at 9 a.m., Lambert fed his dog and “got in the car and also drove off for work, not knowing anything.” Enroute to the garage where his mowers are stored, he stopped at a gas station for a coffee, even asking the clerk, “ ‘Could you carry this out for me? My knee’s bothering me this morning and I’m afraid I’m going to drop it.’ He said, ‘Sure no problem.’ He walked with me out to my car, we talked just a minute and I left.” By the time he arrived, however, Lambert knew something wasn’t right and called his fiancée.
“From the time I went to work until the time that he called was less than 30 minutes,” said Akers. “So, it progressively got worse really fast. When I got to him in the car, he was slumped over in the seat and could hardly talk.” She rushed him to Roane Medical Center three miles away. After a thorough evaluation, staff at Roane determined that Lambert needed to be transferred to the Comprehensive Stroke Center at Fort Sanders Regional for treatment. With Roane and Regional both in the Covenant Health network, their staffs work seamlessly together to assure patients receive prompt, excellent care for conditions such as stroke. “A stroke program such as ours is a truly multi-disciplinary program,” said Dr. Hora. “We’ve got neurologists, internal medicine specialists, extensive therapy support, dietary expertise, rehab medi-
cine expertise. So there are a lot of people involved in each stroke case. It is a coordinated effort, and everybody at a center like ours knows immediately what their role is.” It’s that team approach that has earned Fort Sanders’ Stroke Center recognition by the Joint Commission, American Heart Association/American Stroke Association as an industry leader in complex stroke care. The team certainly gets plenty of practice. On a recent afternoon, Dr. Hora reviewed the hospital’s census. “Five North has 34 patients up there, and I bet you a third of those are stroke,” he said. “Then, this morning, we had eight beds in our Neuro Intensive Care Unit, and I am involved with seven of those patients. Of those seven, six were strokes. It’s there! That’s why they call the Southeast the Stroke Belt.” Lambert’s NIH Stroke Scale (a numerical measure of the neurologic examination) was down to a 3 by the time his dangerously high blood pressure was brought under control – a combination of factors that caused Dr. Hora to decide that using the well-known clot-busting drug tPA was “not a good idea” because of a bleeding risk. “Twenty years ago when I first got into this business, we would give people an aspirin, send ’em home and say, ‘Good luck!’ ” said Dr. Hora. “Now, we’ve learned enough about preventing another stroke that people are literally going home with a cocktail – aspirin, blood pressure, cholesterol. We’re sending them out after having seen one of our nutritionists for diet and exercise, diabetes control. We get them seeing our therapists for therapy and exercise.” After two weeks, Lambert went
home. With the help of his fiancée and a physical therapist closer to home, he is convinced that he’ll make a complete recovery. “I didn’t have 100 percent use of my leg to start with, but I don’t see why I won’t fully recover,” said Lambert. “I’m shooting for 110 percent – if I can only get 100, I’ll settle for that.” Thanks to the “great care” they received at Fort Sanders, Akers believes her soon-to-be-husband will be ready to walk down the wedding aisle as planned Jan. 24 and honeymoon in Florida. “He was treated with so much dignity,” Akers said. “They knew that his being an athlete, a hunter, a policeman, that he needed that extra encouragement to get up and go. If he did get hateful or snippy, the nurse was OK with it. She said, ‘I’ve got thick skin, you can tell me this but you’re still going to get up, you’re still going to walk across the room … the care was great, even for me because I stayed in there the whole time too. If I needed anything, they would do whatever to help. All the nurses and doctors were great.” What’s more, she says Lambert has become an evangelist of sorts, warning everyone he sees to get checked. “He’s telling everybody, all his buddies, ‘Go to the hospital. Go to the doctor. Check your blood pressure.’ He’s lecturing everyone. He’s stubborn, but he’s saying, ‘Don’t be like me – get checked!’ ” “I think he saw the light after seeing all of us,” said Dr. Hora. “In the end, the important thing with Mr. Lambert is that he is a young guy and this was a shot across the bow basically telling him that if he wanted to become an old guy, he needed to make some serious changes in his approach to his health.”
The first Advanced Comprehensive Stroke Center in East Tennessee When it comes to treating strokes, no other hospital in the Knoxville area offers a more advanced level of care than Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center. Fort Sanders was the first in the area to earn an Advanced Comprehensive Stroke Center Certification by The Joint Commission, a nonprofit organization that accredits and certifies more than 20,500 health care programs in the United States. This “gold-seal” advanced certification means that Fort Sanders is recognized as having the most advanced and effective treatments available for stroke today. Certification through The Joint Commission involves extensive training for the staff, documentation of effectiveness and inspection of the hospital by The Joint Commission. Part of certification is having a team of “neurohospitalists” on staff. These physicians treat only
stroke and neurological cases in the hospital, 24 hours a day, 7 days per week. Instead of waiting for a doctor to have time from his or her private practice, Fort Sanders has neurologists on hand. “It makes access to specialArthur Moore, ized neurologists MD easier,” said Dr. James Hora, one of the neurohospitalists at Fort Sanders. “We have 24/7 coverage, and this provides rapid access to a neurologist for acute neurologic problems.” Dr. Arthur Moore was hired in July 2014 as medical director for the center. “With our Advanced Comprehensive Stroke Certification, we offer the highest level of care for all patients. Whether they’re able to have surgery or not,
we’re there to give their bodies the best chance to heal and recover,” he explained. Some stroke patients can be treated with minimally invasive surgical options. Using brain angioplasty, stents and aneurysm surgery, Fort Sanders surgeons can remove tiny clots, stop brain bleeds and insert tiny stents to hold open delicate arteries. “Using a catheter, we thread a tiny wire into the artery in the groin and up to the brain,” explained Keith Woodward, M.D., a neuro-interventional radiologist at Fort Sanders. “Then we can use a special device to pull the clot out, or sometimes we can inject it with medicine and dissolve it while we’re in there.” Most stroke patients need follow-up care after the initial event, and patients at Fort Sanders have access to the Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center, an award win-
ning rehabilitation center. About one-third of the Patricia Rehabilitation Neal Center’s patients are stroke patients, according to the center’s medical director, Mary E. Dillon, M.D. “Our specialists begin determining as soon as possible what level of care the patient will need,” said Dr. Dillon. “Patients have access to rehab services from time they arrive in the emergency department, throughout their care here, and through all the postacute levels of care.” Having everything – speedy emergency care, advanced surgical techniques and the best in rehabilitation – makes Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center the smart choice for stroke care. “We’re equipped to handle all stroke cases, from the most complex to the least,” said Dr. Dillon. “Our patients don’t have to go anywhere else to find help.”

Protect pets in cold weather With cold temperatures in East Tennessee, YoungWilliams Animal Center is reminding pet owners to take extra precautions to make sure their four-footed family members are safe and warm. Here are some cold-weather pet-care tips to remember: ■ When temperatures are below freezing, the best strategy is to keep all pets indoors. If you absolutely must leave them outdoors for a limited amount of time, provide a shelter for them to retreat to. It should be dry, draft-free and wellinsulated to protect them from the cold and wind. ■ Refresh and clean pet shelter’s bedding. Straw works well to trap heat but needs to replaced periodically. Make sure your companion animal has a warm place to sleep, off the floor
make sure their vaccines and physical exams are up to date. Dogs and cats should be examined by a veterinarian at least once a year. Like coolant, antifreeze is a lethal poison for dogs and cats. Be sure to thoroughly clean up any spills from your vehicle, as even small amounts can be deadly.
