IN THIS ISSUE Jimmy Duncan to the high court? Gov. Bill Haslam will nominate a replacement for retired state Supreme Court Justice Gary Wade, and while speculation centers on his longtime friend Herb Slatery, another name has been mentioned. U.S. Rep. John “Jimmy” Duncan served as a Criminal Court judge for seven years before his election to Congress in 1988. Duncan is clearly qualified both professionally and politically. His confirmation would be easy.

By Sara Barrett Dona Bean began driving a school bus for Knox County Schools in 1999 as a second source of income. She was already working as a Personal Accountability Class (PAC) instructor in Karns schools, and both her children – daughter Courtny, now 33, and son Adam, now 27 – attended those same schools. “I drove my kids’ friends on the bus, and now I’m driving those friends’ kids,” says Bean with a smile. “I recently ran into a whole family I knew from bus driving, and it was a huge hug fest.” Bean remembers the extensive testing she had to pass before she could drive a bus. She even had to crawl under a school bus on a mechanic’s creeper and name every part she could see. “If you hit a curb, you were automatically out. We still go

What amazes me about young people is that they’re begging for someone to tell them the truth.” Bean’s position as PAC instructor at Karns Elementary School allows her many students, but when they move on from KES, she worries about them. She says that’s a perk of being a bus driver. “You get to see some of those same kids on their way home, and where they live, and you can make sure Bus driver Dona Bean prepares to take they’re OK.

I do not want them to lose any body parts. “Regardless of what you think of your child’s bus driver, their main goal is to get your child to and from school safely. It is a really serious job.

UT arborist works to preserve ash trees Arborist Sam Adams is working to save UT campus trees from the emerald ash borer, an exotic beetle that can kill an ash tree in as little as three years. “The original tree inventory on campus from 2006 documented 94 ash trees,” Adams said. “I reviewed that inventory in July and concluded that only 12 of these trees remain at least 70 percent intact.” Sixty trees have been removed or deemed not healthy enough to effectively treat.

Bearden High shows soft spot in KCS’s success By Betty Bean Confetti flew when Gov. Bill Haslam brought the state commissioner of education to Carter Middle School on Aug. 3 to celebrate last year’s test scores. Haslam said Carter Middle had gone from a “Level 1” to a “Level 5” in one year, and Knox County was labeled “an exemplary district.” But no one mentioned the soft spots in this “exemplary” status. For instance, Bearden High School plummeted from “Level 5” to “Level 1” in a year. Even a month later parents of Bearden High kids had not been told. Principal John Barrett said he won’t make excuses for Bearden’s low TVAAS scores because other schools throughout the state met the predicted growth numbers set by the state, but he added: “Our achievement (scores) was fine. We met all our AMOs (annual measurable objectives set by the state). There have been some good things.” Bearden High teachers, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, had three explanations: ■ Attrition: “Those of us who have been here awhile know why we’ve gone from a Level 5 to a Level 1 – our turnover has been incredible. A lot of experience has gone out the door. Morale has been bad. We really do fear for our

added. ■ Technology: The introduction of “one-to-one” technology, a laptop or iPad for every student, is playing a role in the decline, and not because teachers have resisted change, said another. With 2,000 kids and almost 130 teachers, all with a personal computer, Bearden needs more than one inhouse computer technician. “We might have a quarter of a class without their iPad on a given day.” ■ Change: The speed and frequency of change was cited more than once. “Teachers are lifelong learners. We’re always learning new things. It’s just the speed with which things continue to come at us. You get good at one program, the county changes it and you learn something new. “It’s not the old guys not wanting to learn and adapt. It’s being forced to do it at warp speed, and the amount of times we’ve had to

do it over last five to six years. Layer upon layer upon layer.” “That celebration (at Carter Middle) was horrible to watch,” another teacher said. “Confetti, music – Goodness! That day just told me it’s all about numbers. It’s about hitting your numbers. Got to hit those numbers.” Bartlett tackled the criticisms head-on: He said Bearden lost 10 teachers in 2014-15 and 10 more the year before, including two who got married and moved away. “I have 130 teachers. That’s less than 10 percent (leaving per year).” And new teachers aren’t necessarily inexperienced. “We know what happened last year. Teachers who were teaching honors for the first time were starting to have to teach at a different level of rigor. We’ve put coaching in place with our AP teachers, as well as extensive coaching throughout the school.” Bartlett dismissed the IT problems, saying there weren’t that many. And how about that Carter celebration? “We’re excited that Knox County was honored as an exemplary district, just as we’re excited that Knox County had growth in the ACT scores – and Bearden High School is part of that. We had out-

Certainly.” And measures are in place to remedy that deficiency. Millicent Smith, executive director for curriculum, instruction and professional development, sat in on our conversation with Barrett. Regarding Bearden’s status, she stressed, “We are talking about student growth based on what he or she is predicted to gain.” But the numbers either matter or they don’t. And administrators from Jim McIntyre to school-level principals who have evaluated and categorized teachers based on TVAAS scores cannot now claim the matrix is flawed.

Concord Elementary was home for area’s black students

Concord Elementary School was established in 1894. Here, a teacher stands with his class at the original one-room frame schoolhouse. It burned and was replaced with a brick structure in 1939.

Patricia Valentine and Robert Lee Fletcher hold an old report card and a photo of former classmates as they sit in front of the church where a celebration will be held for the old Concord Elementary School. The site of the old school is in the vacant lot next to the church. Photos submitted

A rich history By Carolyn Evans Fond memories of their old elementary school have spurred a small group of West Knoxville residents to plan a celebration honoring an important part of Concord history. Patricia Valentine, Robert Lee Fletcher and his brother, Larry Fletcher, attended Concord Elementary School, which sat at the corner of Loop Road and Concord Woods Drive. The all-black school had a long history. It was established as a one-room school in a frame building in 1894 and served about 40 children. It eventually burned down and was replaced by a red brick building in 1939. The school operated for grades one through eight, then one through six until integration in 1965. After two years of planning and collecting old photos and documents, the Fletchers and Valentine have organized a commemorative celebration for 4 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 20, at Concord AME Zion Church, 713 Loop Road. They are hoping for a big turnout of the community and former students to celebrate the school’s history. Valentine and the Fletchers say they have fond memories of their school but fear

it is being forgotten. “There’s more to historic Concord than just the church and buildings by the lake,” Robert Lee Fletcher says. “There’s the black side of historic Concord. That’s what we want people to remember.” The community of Concord was more than the streets off Concord Road by the train tracks, says Valentine. It stretched from Canton Hollow Road to Kingston Pike. “Knox County and Farragut have squeezed Concord out,” she says. “Concord is disappearing.” The town had grocery stores and a train depot, a huge baseball field and an excellent all-black baseball team. And at one time, in an area known as “Little Oklahoma” on a street that no longer exists, there were “juke joints,” recalls Valentine. The organizers remember the outhouses, the school desks arranged in order of age in a ring around the room, longtime teacher Mildred Tipton, playing dominoes and going to Hobbs’ Store at lunch. Valentine’s great-aunt, Helen Trent, who is now 87, lived in the Cedar Bluff area and was bused to the Concord school in the 1930s. “It was a happy time,” says Trent.

Getting to school wasn’t easy, even though the school wasn’t that far away. The Fletchers, Valentine and many other black children were bused to one of the three black elementary schools in the Knox County area. Some of them weren’t on the official bus route, which was long and unwieldly and dropped children at the black elementary, junior and high schools. The Fletchers’ parents didn’t have a car, and Robert Lee remembers being picked up at 6 a.m. by bus driver Deck Bacon. Bacon would pick them up in his personal car and then drive them to his house in Concord, where the bus was parked. They would board the bus, ride all over Knoxville picking up and dropping off black students at elementary, junior high and high schools sprinkled throughout the county, finally arriving back in Concord in time for school to start at 9 a.m.

Helen Trent, now 87, went to Concord Elementary School from first grade through eighth. The school was also used for church services. In this old photo, Helen sits on the steps of the school with a Sunday school class. ers Fitness Center. Her mother was the maid in the home, and her father was the chauffeur and butler. “They were good people,” Valentine says of the Paces. “I probably ate shrimp as a preschooler.” About the time she was 5 years old, her father built a house on Canton Hollow Road. She and her siblings rode the bus to Concord Elementary School, and her parents continued to work for the Paces after the move. Valentine was the oldest of four children, and her childhood home is still standing. The brick school and the neighboring Concord AME

When integration came, Valentine and Robert Lee Fletcher were teenagers. “We were 15, 16, 17 years old,” Valentine said. “Back then, all you cared about was not getting a whippin’ and getting your chores done. It wasn’t harsh, and it made us what we are today. We grew up with parents we knew loved us.” Robert Lee and his family lived on the Sterchi Farm, now the site of Publix, Target and Northshore Elementary School. Valentine began her childhood in the Tom and Nancy Pace family home, near present-day Fort Sand-

Bluegrass and potato salad

community Back in time with Mac

Bluegrass music, hamburgers, hot dogs and potato salad were the order of the day as seniors from all over Knox County gathered at Karns Senior Center for a Labor Day picnic Friday, Sept. 4.

Nancy Anderson

A steady stream of nearly 170 seniors arrived carrying side dishes and desserts filling several 6-foot-long tables with picnic favorites from potato salad to chili and apple pie to banana pudding, complementing grilled hamburgers and hot dogs provided by Blake McCoy of Independent Insurance Consultants of Knoxville. Many in attendance said the inaugural event marked what they hope will be an annual gathering of good friends, good food and good fellowship at the newly built center at 8050 Oak Ridge Highway. “We’re having a good time,” said Shirley Shanks. “But there’s too much good food to choose from. We’ll come to anything that has food.

Sophomore

Semaje Perine, 5-11 and 237, full grown as a freshman, rushed for an NCAArecord 427 yards and six touchdowns – in one game, against Kansas. Think about that, one Saturday set of stats that would equal a season for many, a career for some. Ten ne s s e e - Ok l a hom a might be a barn-burner with plenty of points – or it might be one-sided if the Vols don’t get a lot better in a hurry in the secondary and at middle linebacker. The Sooners showed Akron a very strong passing attack. This is a really big game for Butch Jones. He seeks a genuine signature victory.

Two good ones over South Carolina won’t last forever. There are other ramifications. One game does not guarantee long-term success but one game can sometimes make a big difference in general direction. Return with me now to the home opener of 2006 to find similarities. Highly regarded California was the foe. David Cutcliffe was back as offensive coordinator of the Vols. Tennessee fans were pumped. The crowd went nuts when the Vols came out to play and got even louder when an unsuspecting Golden Bear was struck so hard on the opening kickoff that he missed the rest of the game. Erik Ainge, not so good as a sophomore, opened Tennessee’s first possession

with a 41-yard completion to Robert Meachem. Fans would have blown the roof off Neyland Stadium if it had one. As it was, they shook the upper decks. After that, action accelerated. Ainge threw for four touchdowns. An offense that was stagnant the year before (one play of 40 yards or more) was suddenly fresh and crisp. It hit Cal with four big ones. Some thought Cutcliffe made a difference. I have long believed that crazy crowd intimidated California, inspired the Vols and became a major factor in the mad rush to a stunning 35-0 lead. Oh my, did we have fun. Seven years previously, 1999, the Vols dominated an elite opponent, Georgia, in similar fashion. There have

been big gaps between onesided celebrations. I doubt that Oklahoma will be overwhelmed by crowd noise but perhaps you see other similarities. Tennessee has a new offensive coordinator and the hope for a few more big gainers. Tennessee lost last year without the quarterback it now has. It may not make as many blunders on Saturday. There are obvious uncertainties about Oklahoma. Three new offensive coaches could mean a surprising look. Bob Stoops will likely appear the same as always. The head coach is 168-44 at Oklahoma. That’s a success rate of 79.2. Only Barry Switzer and Bud Wilkerson have done better. Marvin West invites reader reaction. His address is westwest6@netzero.com

Could Duncan go on Supreme Court? Yesterday was Justice Gary Wade’s last day on the state Supreme Court. Today just four justices remain with Sharon Lee serving as chief justice. Gov. Haslam will nominate a replacement for Wade, and while speculation centers on his longtime friend Herb Slatery, another name has been mentioned. U.S. Rep. John “Jimmy” Duncan served as a Criminal Court judge for seven years before his election to Congress in 1988. Duncan publicly endorsed Haslam in 2010 when his endorsement made a huge difference in the GOP primary. Duncan is clearly qualified both professionally and politically. His confirmation would be easy. It would allow him to conclude his public service by returning to the judiciary where his uncle Joe Duncan served ably and where Duncan Jr. started by appointment of then-Gov.

Victor Ashe

Lamar Alexander. Duncan has not publicly shown any interest in this and it is assumed he is more likely to run again for Congress in 2016, but the discussion is ongoing. Right now Haslam’s choice is pure speculation fueled by rumor. However, odds makers give state Attorney General Herb Slatery the leg up. When asked, Slatery says he is too busy to think about it and Haslam simply says he has not discussed the matter with Slatery. Neither statement is a denial that Slatery might want the appointment or Haslam might want him to have it. If Slatery took the seat, then the Court

would immediately have to fill the newly created vacancy in the AG office which Slatery would have vacated after 16 months on the job. Slatery would get to influence and vote on his own successor. The wrinkle in all of this is that potential candidates will have to disclose their intentions in a few weeks as the committee Haslam named to review and recommend names to him for the appellate courts will meet in late October. So if Slatery or Duncan wants the position, each would have to disclose his interest publicly two months before the Legislature reconvenes in January. Last time, Slatery waited until a few hours before the deadline to apply for AG and was able to gauge who his competition would be. Given the governor’s backing, it really did not matter who his competition was then. Once he announced it was clear the

Court would name him in deference to the governor. Frankly, if either Slatery or Duncan applied and made the list submitted by the commission, it is hard to imagine Haslam not naming him, and it is equally hard imagining both would apply against each other. This column will continue this topic next week as to other candidates if Slatery or Duncan is not in contention. ■ Judge Charles Susano of Knoxville now becomes the most senior Tennessee judge in terms of age and length of service, serving on the appellate level at age 79 (turns 80 in March). He is in excellent health and retains his great sense of humor. ■ Conﬁrmation: Because of a recent constitutional amendment, the choice to replace Gary Wade is Haslam’s, subject to possible confirmation by the General Assembly, assuming they can decide on a pro-

cedure. The appointee must come from East or West Tennessee. Middle Tennessee already has two justices. The General Assembly is deadlocked on a confirmation process with the Senate wanting it to be done by the House and Senate acting separately which means separate confirmation hearings by each. The House, led by state Rep. Bill Dunn’s arguments, wants a joint session to decide confirmation as is done with the election of the three constitutional officers – the comptroller, the treasurer and the secretary of state. In such a situation, the 33 senators are outvoted by the 99 representatives. Dunn says 17 senators should not be able to block a nominee, although 17 senators can block any bill the House passes in a bicameral legislature. If the deadlock continues, Haslam nominates will become confirmed after 60 days of being nominated as

the Constitution provides that the nominee is considered confirmed if no action is taken within 60 days after his/her name is presented. This could be as early as March 13, 2016, if the governor sends the name the day the General Assembly reconvenes on Jan. 13, 2016. ■ City Council member Duane Grieve is recovering from a nasty fall which broke seven ribs. He was in the hospital two nights but is back at Council meetings with an arm in a sling. He only has two more years before he is forced off council by term limits. Asked if he might run for mayor in 2019, or before if Rogero leaves mid-term, he points out that he will be the same age Ronald Reagan was when he sought a second term as president. Grieve seems to enjoy the speculation, as does former Mayor Daniel Brown. He should not be discounted as a potential candidate.

Where the money goes Karns Middle School just received a check for more than $15,000 from the PTSA. Raised throughout the past school year, the funds were collected from spirit-wear sales, catalog and candy-bar sales, admissions to school dances and PTSA-sponsored activities.

‘Nacho’ average family night By Maddie Murphy Ball Camp Elementary School PTA hosted its annual welcome back event with a twist this year. The school PTA welcomed students, families and staff members to the ‘Nacho Ordinary Welcome Back’ nacho bar in the cafeteria. All those present were excited to walk through the nacho line and select from a wide variety of toppings, including cheese, onion, jalapenos, black olives and refried beans. Ball Camp staff worked the food bar and

dished out heaping bowls of delicious food. “Ball Camp staff are the best,” said school employee and PTA secretary Heather Murphy. “Like last year, we had over 20 staff persons who volunteered to serve food so PTA volunteers could relax and mingle with other parents and their own children. That’s a big deal.” Hopefully, next year’s PTA board will keep the tradition of fun food bars as the welcome back event, and maybe come up with yet another amazingly tasteful idea.

SCHOOL NOTES Hardin Valley Academy ■ “Driven to Give” fundraiser for Hardin Valley Academy girls basketball team, 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 19, HVA upper parking lot. Test drive a new Lincoln and Ted Russell Lincoln will donate $20 per car to the team. No sales pitches. Must be at least 18 with a valid driver’s license.

Former KMS PTSA president Beth Rhodes said she knew the money was earmarked for technology and the PTSA wanted to present a lump sum, so they waited until the beginning of the

new school year. “We wanted to buy four new tires for the car instead of buying two now and two later,” said Rhodes. Technology coordinator Nita Harrison said a new mobile computer lab is the best purchase to benefit the most students. The mobile cart will hold 40 laptops that will recharge when returned to the cart. The computers’ batteries are larger, which lengthens the use time but also allows students to turn their device into more of a tablet to help cool the computer. With the two current mobile computer labs, this third would give each grade its own lab. Other options are to give the library some of the outdated computers so students can use them

Harrison said although the 1:1 initiative is growing in popularity among Knox County administration, the KMS faculty feels it is best to keep the computers at school where students can be monitored with the

equipment. “These computers can be used in all areas,” said Harrison. “Most of our building is now in pretty good shape, and these computers can be used at least another five years until our current sixth-graders graduate high school.”

Coupon book mania Knox County Schools kicked off its annual coupon book sale last week, and each school celebrated in its own way. Hardin Valley Elementary School’s theme is “Inside Out,” based on the film of the same name. HVES principal Dr. Sunny Poe and her staff created a quirky short film for the students with each character from “Inside Out” played by a member of the school faculty. Poe was the main character, trying to decide what this year’s theme should be for the

kickoff. Poe said the school hopes to earn about $40,000 from this year’s coupon book sale. That money will go toward purchasing technology, including iPads and new projectors. Depending on how many books a student sells, prizes may include time in a game truck, participating in a parade dressed as their favorite character, having their faces painted and throwing water balloons at Poe and former principal Tod Evans. Poe

Hardin Valley Elementary School students Austin Davis and Alec Miller peruse various prizes they could win for selling coupon books. said Evans will return for the stunt because he “invented” the water-balloon prize during his time at the school. Coupon books will be available for $10 through

Monday, Sept. 21. This year there are 28 new merchants and 363 coupons included. A list of participating merchants can be found online at knoxschools.org.

CTE investigation: criminal justice By Ruth White Do you enjoy watching shows like “Criminal Minds,” “Law and Order” or “NCIS”? Do you have the crime solved before the show is over? If so, a criminal justice program may interest you. The program is but one of many professions being examined through the Career and College Readiness program (commonly known as CTE – Career and Technical Education). Central High School launched its first criminal justice course this year and the list of interested students was phenomenal. Instructor Greg Lemmons teaches Criminal Justice 1, an introductory course in which students learn about the police, courts and corrections. Lemmons brings field knowledge to the classroom and students are able to work on booking procedures and fingerprinting techniques; compare federal, state and local law enforcement agencies and will create their own police department. Lemmons was a probation office in Roane County

and instructor at Roane State before taking the position at Central. Farragut High School also offers a criminal justice program in CTE, taught by Derek Pacifico. Both instructors will bring the world of criminal justice to life through courses offered at each respective school. The introductory course, Criminal Justice 1, examines the history of law enforcement with an overall view of law enforcement, criminal/civil courts and jails/corrections. Students will conduct evaluations of criminal justice careers, study the constitutional amendments directly related to the field and conduct mock trials. To enhance the program, students at Central will have guest speakers in the classroom and Farragut plans to tour the Knox County Detention Facility. At Central, Criminal Justice 2 deals with crime scene investigations and allows students to form CSI teams. Each team will photograph a mock scene, sketch the scene, mark and collect evidence, perform search patterns, use fin-

gerprint powder and process evidence. Students in the course will be able to complete at SkillsUSA in a crime scene competition. Farragut students will focus more closely on police work and will have an opportunity to conduct crime scene investigations. The group will visit the Knox County courthouse and District Attorney’s office. The final course, Criminal Justice 3, allows students to process many different pieces of evidences. Students will analyze blood spatter to locate area of origin, study insect larva to determine time of death, analyze handwriting samples, research bullet trajectories and determine the difference between animal and human hair. They will also work with higher levels of fingerprinting skills, plaster casting and impression evidence. Once students complete the courses in high school, they will have a solid base of knowledge of the subjects involved if they wish to continue in post-secondary education in criminal justice.

be a big bonus.” Knoxville Film Festival executive director Keith McDaniel calls it an “excellent film.” Green, originally from Atlanta, has a bachelor’s from New York University and an MBA from NYU’s Tisch School of Film & Television. He has spent much of the past decade directing short films and producing, but when he started writing “Wildlike” in 2008, he had in mind to make it his feature debut. Apparently, he doesn’t like to do things the easy way. “Wildlike” is about a Mackenzie young teenage girl sent to (Ella Purlive with her uncle in Alaska. nell) and When the living arrangeBart (Bruce ment takes an unexpected Greenwood) turn, she runs away and are unlikely winds up attaching herself traveling to a man on his own solitary companions mission.

Alaska as would be practical. Green and his wife had backpacked in Denali National Park and had traveled Alaska by train. “I just saw it as a really amazing backdrop for a movie,” he says. “I’m a lover of the outdoors, and I think I naturally wanted to put the outdoors in my first feature. If it’s going to be in the United States, there’s really nowhere better you can go than Alaska. “I wanted to bring something great to the screen for a first feature. I mean, why not?” Green says “Wildlike” isn’t the kind of movie a studio would make. “It’s an incredible relationship story that happens in an incredible landscape in Alaska,” he says, adding that he intended for the first part of the movie to make viewers feel uncomfortable. “It roughs you up in the beginning, then takes you deep into the heart of humans and nature and where those connect. I don’t really know of a movie to compare it to.” Info: knoxvillefilmfestival. com

Director turns debut into a challenge By Betsy Pickle Film festivals are a great place for independent films to get exposure. Just ask Frank Hall Green, whose feature-directing debut, “Wildlike,” is the opening-night film for the Knoxville Film Festival at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 17, at Regal Downtown West Cinema 8. “I knew I wanted it to go to a lot of festivals because I thought it was a good way to get it out there,” says Green. When he wasn’t able to get into big festivals like Toronto and Sundance, he started to doubt himself and his film, but then he started getting reaction from smaller but still prestigious festivals. Acceptance letters began pouring in, along with awards. “Wildlike” ended up with invitations to more than 150 film festivals, winning 38 best film and audience awards. The stars, up-and-comer Ella Purnell and veteran Bruce Greenwood, also raked in numerous acting awards. “It didn’t really make

that much difference with the sale of the film and setting up distribution, but it makes a difference now that we have a network, and we have places to take the film,” says Green by phone

from Denver, the night before his visit to the Telluride Film Festival. “We’ll be able to take it to Knoxville, and we’ll be able to tell them when it’s coming out (Sept. 25), and the people that like

A side view of the 3-D printed house at Malibu Collision in Halls.

‘This changes everything’ 33-D D printed h house ousse rolls out By Shannon Carey When Halls guy Rick Spears took a 3-D printed Shelby Cobra to the Detroit Auto Show, the lead design engineer from Kia asked him why. Concept cars are the show’s regular fare. Spears replied that the Cobra was 3-D printed, taking six weeks from concept to a complete, drivable vehicle. Right now in the auto industry, it takes eight to 12 months to get a concept to the wind tunnel, and it’s still not drivable. The guy from Kia was blown away. “This changes everything,” he said. On Sept. 8, a 3-D printed house rolled out of Malibu Collision in Halls, bound for trade shows across the nation. The project was sponsored by MaxLab at ORNL, a wing of the Department of Energy dedicated to researching innovative and efficient building designs and materials. Spears owns and operates Malibu Collision. Twelve years ago, he started investigating carbon fiber, a new material that could be used to customize cars. “There was nowhere to learn about it,” Spears said. “I had to order a CD from

Germany and d fi figu gure re iitt out in German.” Then, he went to a carbon fiber expo in Washington, D.C., and met Jesse Smith of Knoxville-Oak Ridge Innovation Valley. Turns out, Oak Ridge National Laboratory was aiming to be the carbon fiber capital of the world, and they were looking for someone to do prototyping. Suddenly, Malibu Collision took center stage in the world of high-tech materials. Malibu spin-off company TruDesign is dedicated to design, analysis and prototyping, “working to help bring back manufacturing to the U.S.,” said Spears. TruDesign developed a spray-on coating that can make the “ropey” texture of 3-D printed products smooth. 3-D printed molds for auto parts are also revolutionizing the industry. When President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden visited Pellissippi State this year, they signed a car hood made at Malibu Collision, the first hood ever pulled off a 3-D printed mold, and the first hood ever signed by a President and Vice President. “We printed the mold in eight hours and pulled the hood in three days,” said Spears. “And it was made here in Halls.” But 3-D printing is not just

Rick Spears stands beside a 3-D printed demonstration house. One room for ease of transportation across the nation this year, this proof-of-concept model is a joint project of MaxLab at ORNL, and TruDesign, which operates out of Spears’ Malibu Collision in Halls. It was assembled at Clayton Homes of Halls and finished at Malibu Collision. Photos by R. White

for cars. Airplane, boat and appliance manufacturers are also clamoring for more. “It’s really cool to be helping develop technology and processes that are not even on the market yet,” Spears said. The house, just a oneroom proof-of-concept house for now, will travel to national trade shows. 3-D printed from 20 percent carbon fiber and 80 percent AVS, the panels “snap together like Legos,” said Spears. It was assembled at Clayton Homes of Halls. Other partners include Alcoa and SOM. The roof is covered with solar panels, and appli-

ances are the most energyefficient available. “It’s the only one in the world like it,” Spears said. “People don’t realize what’s really going on at the lab. “There are a lot of people who haven’t seen 3-D printing. It’s going to change the way we do everything.”

StyroPower 3-D printing isn’t the only field Spears has explored. Another spin-off company, StyroPower, makes equipment that compacts Styrofoam so that it is economical to ship and recycle. The device went through

a three-year process of research and development, including processing a year’s worth of breakfast and lunch trays from Halls High School. According to StyroPower president John Miller, the device melts and compacts the

Styrofoam from 1,400 lunch trays into one-half cubic foot. The material can then by recycled back into fuel, more Styrofoam, or even into 3-D printer material. Info: www.malibu collison.com

Bearden Rotary update Helen Harb was named a Paul Harris Fellow by the Rotary Club of Bearden. The Paul Harris Fellow recognition acknowledges individuals who contribute, or who have contributions made in their name, of $1,000 to The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International. It was named for Chicago lawyer Paul Harris, who founded the first Rotary Club in 1905. Three members of the Bearden Club are recent graduates of Rotary College. They are Michael Haun, David Luhn and Gary Riccardi. Rotarian Charles Garvey provided the pictures. – Anne Hart

Saturday, September 26 University of Tennessee Campus

Sgt. Lowell Russell, the Tennessee state trooper who was almost killed in a fiery car accident on Interstate 40 three years ago, said divine intervention saved his life. Russell spoke to the Rotary Club of Farragut not only about his recovery but also about U.S. Marine Lance Corp. Frankie Watson, who was killed while serving in Afghanistan in 2011. Watson was like a younger brother to Russell, who dedicated his presentation to Watson’s memory. Russell and Dr. Paul Grady, an ordained minister, law enforcement chaplain and a deputy with the Blount County Sheriff’s Office, wrote a book, “Trial by Fire,” about Russell’s near death experience. Proceeds from the book help fund a memorial scholarship in Watson’s name.

The trooper was in the hospital for 46 days, on life support for two weeks and continues to undergo physical therapy. Russell, a law enforcement officer for 20 years, was sitting on the interstate’s shoulder after a traffic stop in the early morning hours of March 13, 2012, when his cruiser was struck from behind by an 18-wheeler. The harrowing ordeal could have ended Russell’s life, but he credits God with helping him through the journey that started that night. At the moment his cruiser spun out of control in flames, an ambulance returning to McMinn County crested the hill. Russell, unconscious, was trapped inside. Paramedic Freddie Leslie and the truck driver, Eric D. Lewis, pried open the driver’s door. Another man, Dennis Stevens, stopped to

Rotarian Joan McIntee, Sgt. Lowell Russell and Dr. Paul Grady help. Russell’s seatbelt was jammed, and it was Stevens’ box cutter that cut Russell free, moments before flames engulfed the driver’s seat. Bullets in the cruiser’s trunk started exploding, and Knoxville Police Officer Steve Taylor moved the ambulance in front of the burning cruiser to protect those working to save Rus-

sell’s life. Grady, who had provided spiritual support to Russell when Watson died, read from the faith-based book and marveled at how Russell survived the accident and his numerous injuries. “There’s no way in the world Lowell should have survived this,” Grady said.

History and Mysteries September 2015 • Oliver Perry Temple (1820-1907) A mere 316 votes may have altered the course of history. When he was only 27 years of age, Oliver Temple challenged the acknowledged political leader in East Tennessee’s 1st Congressional District, Andrew Johnson.

Jim Tumblin

Democrat Johnson was in his prime and thought to be invincible in his race for a third term in 1847. His “stump speeches” were effective in the 1:1 debates then in fashion. He had won previous elections by as much as 1,500 votes. Temple, representing the Whig party, was a young lawyer in Greeneville. He was still working to establish a practice when, only three weeks before the election, he was prevailed upon to make the race. Landon C. Haynes, another Democrat, had considered the odds and decided not to run against Johnson. It was an interesting time in American politics with the expansion to the west and the expanding economy and with party platforms in stark contrast to todays. By and large, the Whig party, devised by Henry Clay, proposed tariffs to protect and promote goods made in the U.S. and shipped to foreign countries. It promoted internal improvements, such as railroads, and wanted a national bank to regulate national finances and the money supply. The Whigs favored federal government control to accomplish their goals. On the other hand, the Democrats preferred free trade, an agrarian economy and control of

government on the local and state level. Democrats pushed for expansion of the borders and Whigs sought to spend for improvements within its current borders.* The major Johnson vs. Temple showdown came only two days before the election in a fierce debate in Jonesboro. Thinking Haynes would be his opponent, Johnson had attempted to appeal to Whig voters by opposing some of the policies of Democrat President James K. Polk, although they were of the same party. By pointing out Johnson’s inconsistencies within his own party, Temple was able to win over many voters. The 5,658 to 5,342 vote had turned out to be the closest of the five races Johnson would win in holding the congressional seat from 1843 to 1853. Oliver Temple had captured the attention of the public and author William Speer would observe, “Temple, defeated as he was, felt that he was half conqueror, and Johnson, though elected, was deeply mortified and humiliated.” History’s “what ifs” are inconsequential, but one wonders whether a defeated Johnson could have recovered to be elected Tennessee’s governor in 1853 and again in 1855 and a U.S. senator in 1857. Would he have been elected vice president in 1864 and in place to become the president when Abraham Lincoln was assassinated? Could some other President have guided the country through the reconstruction period after the Civil War more effectively? But who was the young lawyer who almost defeated Andrew Johnson? Oliver Perry Temple was born on Jan. 27, 1820, near Greeneville, Tenn., the son of James and Mary Craig Temple. In 1810 the young couple had been married by the Rev. Charles

He attended Tusculum College from 1838-41 where he came under the influence of the Rev. Samuel Witherspoon Doak, who was a son of pioneering Presbyterian minister and college president the Rev.

N EWS FROM PARKWEST, WEST KNOXVILLE ’ S H EALTHCARE LEADER • T REATED WELL .COM • 374-PARK

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy helps former cancer patient ‘dive’ into better health Retired chiropractor John McLaughlin, 75, of Knoxville, has been scuba diving in the ocean a number of times for fun. But for 10 weeks this summer, McLaughlin went “diving” 60 times on land, so to speak. He received hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) at Parkwest Medical Center to treat residual side effects from radiation therapy he had 10 years ago for prostate cancer. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy uses a special chamber to increase the amount of oxygen in the blood, which is carried to organs and tissues in the body. During therapy, the air pressure in the chamber is slowly brought to what would be found 40 feet under the sea, so “they refer to each session as a ‘dive,’” McLaughlin said. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is used to treat patients with medical conditions including chronic non-healing diabetic foot wounds, compromised skin grafts or aps, chronic bone infections and bone or tissue injury resulting from radiation therapy, among others. In McLaughlin’s case, radiation therapy killed the cancer cells, but it also damaged his hip joints (he had a double hip replacement about eight years ago). Then it damaged the lining of his small intestines. “I noticed I was experiencing some GI [gastrointestinal] disturbances with an increase in di-

A technician stays inside the chamber with the patients during the treatment. HBOT is adjunctive therapy that must be used as part of a larger health care plan to complete treatment. Adding hyperbaric oxygen therapy to a patient’s treatment plan can signi cantly increase healing when compared to standard care alone.

HBOT: Successful treatment for many medical conditions

While hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is approved for more than a dozen medical conditions, many of these can be treated only in an inpatient setting. The following are common conditions that can be treated on an outpatient basis: ■ Diabetic foot ulcers: While nearly 100,000 amputations occur annually due to diabetic foot ulcers, many of these might be prevented by the timely use of HBOT in addition to appropriate wound care. ■ Chronic osteomyelitis (bone infections): While infections that involve bones are notoriously dif cult to treat, the addition of HBOT to the appropriate antibiotic regimen can greatly improve the outcome. ■ Threatened or failing surgical aps: Sometimes following surgery, there are problems with the healing incision. HBOT can be a valuable addition to the appropriate wound care. ■ Radiation injury: While radiation therapy can be invaluable in the treatment of many cancers, sometimes damage occurs to non-cancerous tissues as well. When this injury lasts for more than six months it is classi ed as “late” radiation injury. HBOT can be extremely effective in healing these injuries, which include: radiation cystitis (damage to the bladder), radiation colitis (damage to the colon), osteoradionecrosis (damage to the bone, often the mandible or jaw bone) and chondroradionecrosis (damage to the cartilage including that of the throat, which can cause dif culty swallowing). ■ Certain types of sudden hearing loss. While research is ongoing and there may be additions to the list of conditions approved for treatment, HBOT has NOT been proven to be effective in the following: ■ Autism ■ AIDS/HIV ■ Alzheimer’s disease ■ Cancer ■ Cerebral palsy ■ Chronic Fatigue Syndrome ■ Fibromyalgia ■ Multiple sclerosis If you think HBOT might be right for you, talk with your physician and call the Hyperbaric Center at Parkwest, 865-373-2030, or visit us online at www.TreatedWell.com/Hyperbaric for more information.

Parkwest Hyperbaric Center offers unique healing beneﬁts Vaughan Hall, MD, medical director of the Hyperbaric Center at Parkwest, said he sees no shortage of hyperbaric oxygen therapy success stories – and that the treatment could help even more patients if their physicians knew about this non-invasive, effective therapy. “A good number of our patients are cancer patients, but not as many come here as we could help,” said Dr. Hall. “Unfortunately, HBOT has a checkered past, and sometimes a checkered present.” He said some people have made unproven claims about HBOT, saying it cures autism or multiple sclerosis. “It does not,” he said, but added that HBOT is extremely effective for patients with non-healing wounds such as diabetic wounds, wounds from infections, or internal injuries from cancer radiation treatments. For example, “if a patient has cancer of the tonsil or the tongue, or they have had head and neck radiation, often those people will have problems swallowing,” Dr. Hall said. “We’ve had patients who haven’t swallowed anything in two years – they get all their nourishment through a tube. But they come here for HBOT, and they leave here and can swallow. This can be life-changing.” Dr. Hall also remembers another patient who was homebound because of gastrointestinal problems caused by radiation therapy. “But when she nished treatment, she got a motorhome, and she and her husband traveled the country.” A drawback to HBOT is that it is most often administered in a “cof n-like chamber,” Dr. Hall said, noting that people prone to claustrophobia may not be able to tolerate the small space. But the Hyperbaric Center at Parkwest, which opened in March 2015, has the region’s only multi-place chamber, with seats for 10 pa-

Each patient wears a clear plastic hood with pure oxygen piped in for the patient to breathe during hyperbaric oxygen therapy. tients and room for a technician. It looks somewhat like a small airplane inside. Patients can watch TV, eat or drink, read a book or sleep. Few people have problems with claustrophobia in a multi-place chamber, he said. “It’s much more patient-friendly. We’ve never been unable to treat somebody. Sometimes you have to give them a little relaxing medicine, and that’s OK. If a patient will work with me, I’ll gure out how to get them through it.” Dr. Hall hopes more physicians will become aware of how much HBOT can bene t patients who have certain illnesses. “HBOT has been around for 300 years,” Hall said. “There are many legitimate uses of hyperbaric oxygen therapy based on science, approved by the FDA, and covered by insurance.” For additional information about the Hyperbaric Center at Parkwest visit www.TreatedWell.com/Hyperbaric or call 865-373-2030.
