Building an orphanage in Guatemala

By Theresa Edwards A team of 25 from Powell United Methodist Church is going on a fourth mission trip June 8 to complete an orphanage in Chichicastenango, Guatemala.

The current orphanage with Samaritan Hands houses 15 children and the new one will be the home for 20 to 25 orphans.

The Powell team will also be installing water filters in homes making tap water 99.9 percent clean and suitable for drinking.

Two other ministries are Vacation Bible School and a women’s Bible study.

The Knox County Commission will vote on Mayor Tim Burchett’s proposed budget for fiscal year 2014 at 2 p.m. Tuesday, May 28. The budget is expected to pass, probably with amendments.

Anyone wanting to R. Larry Smith speak should call

215-2534 to sign up for public forum.

In an interview last week, Commissioner R. Larry Smith said the budget is sound and any surplus won’t disappear if not spent. “We don’t have to pile on now.”

Smith supports Burchett’s call for a 2 percent across-the-boards pay increase for county employees. He said each percent costs about $1 million and he’d like to see even more. “It’s been a while

since the employees have had any increase.”

Burchett’s budget contains no tax increase and maintains services at existing levels. It fully funds the school board’s request for $419.9 million, and provides $4 million in capital improvement funding for completion of the Karns Connector.

It keeps the county on track to fulfill Burchett’s goal of reducing the county’s debt by $100 million by the end of fiscal year 2016.

Powell Library: A possible budget amendment would include funds to rearrange the interior of the Powell Branch Library.

Director Myretta Black told commissioners that an additional $250,000 would enable her department to buy 109 new computers and some new shelving and do electrical upgrades at the North Knox branch.

At Powell, she wants the workflow redesigned so that the circulation desk faces the front door.

Humbled at Arlington

Ciderville owner David West and employee and bass player Jodi Harbin take a minute to entertain customers in a section of the store where eyes can feast on stringed instruments galore.

Collector David West drives a piece of memorabilia - a 1931 Model A Ford Roadster.

Building history one block at a time

The storefront hasn’t changed much in the past 50 plus years but the history inside Ciderville Music Store and Dave’s Music Barn continues to expand.

The exterior of Ciderville Music Store looks pretty much as it always has.

Cindy Taylor

What started out as a 22 x 26-foot block building constructed by David West, his father Claude and sisters Faye and Alma, has grown in length and depth to encompass hundreds of musical instruments and a music hall.

“The rock face storefront is the entrance now with the original front door,” said Alma. “We poured each block by hand and laid them in 1948.”

The family rented out the building at first, then took over a cider business in the store in 1958 – hence the name. David worked the store bottling and selling cider for a few years before he took an interest in musical instruments.

“I just loved musical instruments but I couldn’t play,” said David. “I decided to learn to play a banjo and in 1964 I got my first job playing music.”

West says he couldn’t make a living selling cider so he took to the stage, playing first in Gatlinburg, then with Bonnie Lou and Buster and Cas Walker. He played many times at the Ryman Auditorium and with wellknown musicians. But pay-

Photos by Cindy Taylor ing the bills early on wasn’t easy. Sister Faye was running the music store while David was on the road.

“I got two checks each week,” said David. “I kept one and I sent one back to pay Faye to run the store.”

West says he has held lots of jobs in his 67-year career but he always stayed with music. Creating a historical museum started with a hand-built money box and money bag and grew exponentially as West pursued a career in music and met remarkable people. There is barely a spot anywhere inside or outside the buildings that isn’t covered with pictures, art or historical documents.

With persistent hard work, Ciderville became known as “the place” to purchase musical instruments.

West says his original goal was just to be the No. 1 Martin dealer in East Tennessee.

After just one year of carrying Martin guitars he was ranked No. 1 in the entire state and was soon listed in

the top five Martin dealers in the world. West learned business sense by listening to the best and says competition doesn’t worry him.

“I would love to see a big chain music store open across the street,” he said.

“They would draw a lot of customers but they couldn’t please everybody and those folks would come here. Cas Walker always told me run my race and let others run theirs. He said to watch what they did good and put it with what I did well and then I could have it all.”

The music show at Dave’s Music Barn started in 1966 and has seen its share of famous guests. Folks can come on Fridays and Saturdays and jump in line to sing, play, or just sit and enjoy the show. You never know who might wander inside. The environment is family oriented and features prize walks, a popcorn eating contest and door prizes.

Why East Towne matters Fountain City resident Charlotte Davis is holding out hope for the mall she still calls East Towne.

Betty Bean “I do not go to West Town,” she said. “They ruined a wetland to build Turkey Creek so I will not go there. What I would like to see is for East Towne to succeed. It’s going to be a mammoth job, but I want to see it prosper. We need that here.”

That is likely one of the few topics about which Davis and Mike Edwards, president/CEO of the Knoxville Chamber, agree.

“It matters like crazy to the community, and we’ve got to do everything we can do to get that mall to be profitable for a million different reasons,” Edwards said.

“There are significant challenges, but the worst thing that could happen would be for them to go dark.”

Edwards points to the stable businesses on the malls’ out-parcels and says he is impressed by the efforts of Knoxville Center’s energetic leasing representative Justin Sterling,

Photos by Betty Bean who calls himself a “ninja of economic prosperity” and appears to be gaining the confidence of the business community with his creative approach to deal making. Edwards is glad to see City Council’s apparent willingness to help the mall become more visible while Sterling works to secure new anchor tenants while nurturing an eclectic array of locally owned specialty businesses.

There’s Fluff n Stuff, Knoxville’s leading natural parenting store, which owner Heather Truax started as a cloth diaper business. It has blossomed into

a hub for natural parenting supplies and expanded into a space large enough to accommodate a classroom.

And Amin “Ike” Lalani’s Signature Diamond Galleria, family-owned for 19 years. Ike is upgrading to a 4,600 square foot space, and is very excited. “It’s a prime location in the mall, and we are moving all the cases in now. We’ll have a grand reopening in another month.

Watch for it. One hundred percent great deals.”

Ben Bela is a former taxi driver who has opened My Kitchen in the mall’s Food Court, where he serves made-to-order quesadillas

and guacamole with fastpaced conversation. He’s made friends fast, and says people should come see him because, “I lived in Europe, in North Africa, and America and I am the best man in the world. I know how to cook. I know how to drive a taxi, and I know how to complain.”

Tattoo Lou is a partner in “Turning Heads,” the only in-mall tattoo parlor in Tennessee. It’s also a hair, nails and tanning salon – “A salon with an East Coast edge,” Lou said, opening the neckline of his shirt to display his favorite tattoo – Mother Teresa smoking a stogie.

Knox County Commission is expected to approve a $60,256 annual lease for Knox County Schools to rent 7,532 square feet for adult education services, moving out of Historic Knoxville High.

Nope. It’s Chick-fil-A hanging a giant sign in the heart of Fountain City.

Dadgum it. The Atlantabased chicken franchiser had agreed with residents to install a 14-foot monument sign on Kingston Pike in Bearden. But when it came Fountain City’s turn, the company would not budge.

A 40-foot pole sign was installed last week.

The sign is legal, but oh so unnecessary.

City Council member Nick Della Volpe called the sign “defiant” and “demonstrating a lack of respect for the historic and proud community of Fountain City.”

Della Volpe concedes the sign is legal under what he calls “an antiquated sign ordinance,” but he says Chickfil-A should realize the Fountain City community is “not an interstate truck stop.” He said the committee that’s revising the city’s sign ordinance is moving too slowly. “The door was left open, so Chick-fil-A walked right through it.”

Disappointment was expressed by Margot Kline of Scenic Knoxville. In an email to Chick-fil-A president Dan Cathy (dan.

Kline said more than 4,000 people viewed and supported Scenic Knoxville’s Facebook page. Most are college-educated, hardworking, thoughtful folks who do not spend their money foolishly.

She said her opposition has nothing to do with political or philosophical values.

“You are coming in, damaging the character of the community, and very likely hurting residential property values nearby, and I do take offense to that.”

Realistically, this is fried chicken-eating East Tennessee. Chick-fil-A in Fountain City won’t miss Mar- that’s not appreciated. That got Kline. But the company can’t be good for business came here with an arrogance over the long haul.

“I believe this is a tremendous insult to the people who live, work and attend school in Fountain City. You did the right thing with low signage in parts of west Knoxville.

Why are you contributing to urban blight in Fountain City?”

Kline says she’s addicted to the store’s diet lemonade, and “I also have always liked your chicken strips, waffle fries, ice cream with blueberries and carrot salad.

What’s in a name?

MALCOLM’S CORNER | Malcolm Shell

I have always been fascinated by street names and their origin. For the most part, developers often name streets after their families or after street names they have seen in other areas. Some use the name of the former owner if it has historical significance (i.e. Smithfield subdivision).

One upscale builder told me his favorite TV program was “Murder She Wrote.” The fictional setting was Cabot Cove. He said he liked the name so much he named his development Cabot Ridge. Well, we might say that’s one mystery solved. But the

real mystery was a street in my subdivision.

All the streets in our neighborhood are named after famous golf courses.

But one street, Crippled Mule Point, has no relation to the others. That aroused my curiosity. The answer was found in an unpublished manuscript written by the late Fox Den members Bob Fraim and Tom Foree, our first golf professional.

It seems that when the developer, Chester Massey, was acquiring the property from 11 different owners, he thought he had enough land to build the course. But the golf course

architect, Willard Byrd, discovered at the last moment that additional land was needed to complete the 12th hole. The property was owned by Spencer Smith, the former owner of the Smithfield subdivision property. Massey had purchased property from Smith before and didn’t foresee any problem in purchasing the additional property.

He approached Smith in an unassuming way, but quickly found it wasn’t going to be easy. Smith was adamant about not selling any additional land and ended the conversation quite abruptly. Massey

Take a train at Art on Main!

By Cindy Taylor The 3rd annual Art in the Park Festival is shaping up to be the best one yet. More than 45 high caliber artisans and vendors from Union, Knox and surrounding counties will line downtown Main Street from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, June 1, for Art on Main.

The festival was always intended to be outdoors, but weather was prohibitive.

For 2013, the event

moved from April to June and to the downtown streets of Maynardville.

Rain or shine the festival will go on.

“With the Arts Center celebrating its first year anniversary in June, this will be a perfect place to have an arts festival,” said committee member and Arts Center director Susan Boone. “People can stroll the vendor booths and stop in at the center while they’re here.”

Highlights of the festival will be local artists’ demonstrations and sales that include pottery, painted glass, handmade cloth, oil painting, handmade paper, Intarsia and much, much more.

Snack vendors will offer food with local flair. There will be all- day entertainment and trackless train rides for the kiddies by Lil’ Thunder Railroad. The first 100 kids to ride will receive a McDonald’s coupon for free food.

recalls that he went down to what is now the 1st fairway and shot some quail.

He dressed and took them to Smith, who thanked him but said he still was not going to sell.

At that point, Massey told the architect to make the 12th hole a par 3.

Massey had started publishing a Fox Den newsletter and was always looking for possible items for the publication. That led him to once again visit Spencer in hopes of finding a possible story that might be of interest to the new residents. Mrs. Smith answered the door and told him that Spencer was sick but that he could visit with him a few minutes.

When he entered the bedroom, he assured Smith that he had not come to talk about purchasing any additional property. He told him that he simply was trying to find some good material to include in his newsletter.

At that point, Smith rose up from his bed, threw his feet over the edge and sat up as Mrs. Smith started

to spin a tale that fascinated Massey.

She said that when the Civil War was nearing an end, stragglers from both North and South would often pass by the property and ask to be fed. On one particular morning, three Confederate soldiers knocked on the door and asked if she could serve them breakfast. She did so and they sat down on the front porch to eat. While they were eating, seven or eight Union soldiers rode by and spotted the three Confederates. A gun battle ensued and Mrs. Smith grabbed what she could carry and ran out the back door. She eventually made her way through the woods to Campbell’s Station, where she spent the night with friends.

The next day she returned home to find the three Confederate soldiers lying dead in the front yard. The house had also been looted. She immediately ran to the spring house to see if they had found her perishable items. She discovered

that all the milk and fresh meat were gone and the only thing left was an old crippled mule.

Massey asked the Smiths if he could publish that story in his newsletter, and Spencer said, “Would you really publish that?” Massey assured him that he would and at that point Spencer said: “Son, if you will publish that, I’ll just give you the property.”

At that point, Massey assured Smith that the road leading down to the spring would always be called Crippled Mule Point.

Evolution of football Effective this fall, football players who strike defenseless foes above the shoulders will be subject to ejection. Players will be prohibited from using helmets as the punishing part of battering rams.

Football is fearful of concussions – and lawsuits.

Renewed concern about rules and serious injuries reminds me of 1905.

Things were so bad, the president of the United States got involved.

In case you missed that season, it was when “Volunteers” became the official handle for sports teams at UT. Football Vols played at the rocky corner of 15th and Cumberland.

They were not reported as particularly violent or prone to foul. They went 3-5-1 under new coach J.D. Depree, an overmatched leader without assistants.

The low-budget Volunteers, captained by Roscoe

Marvin West

“Piggy” Word, defeated Tennessee School for the Deaf and ran roughshod over American Temperance, 104-0. Clemson and Tennessee tied, 5-5, then the value of a touchdown.

The Vols lost to Vanderbilt, Sewanee and Georgia Tech, defeated Centre but lost to Alabama in Birmingham and Grant in Chattanooga.

I really don’t think Tennessee caused it, but activists became convinced that football was too rough and tumble, generally crude and void of dignity. The deaths of 18 college players might have been a factor.

Indeed, football was a

violent game of crunching power surges and crazy collisions followed by piling on. There was punting and running for your life and an occasional score, cause for throwing hats in the air, hugging the nearest girl and launching the rag-tag band into the fight song (this was way before “Rocky Top”).

President Theodore Roosevelt, a man’s man, heard frightening reports, saw disturbing photographs of battered linemen and decided football was doing more harm than good. There was no way to face the nation, but he sent forth word that football should be outlawed.

The promise of change bought time for thought.

Legalizing the forward pass appeared monumental. It did not stop hitting and hurting. The change, in fact, proved mostly cosmetic, like refining street

fights into boxing. Players still got killed but fatalities were less gory.

Perhaps you know what happened after that. Football spread out somewhat and used more of the field.

Coaches started thinking.

Strategy evolved. Was it better to feature size or speed?

There were two obvious ways to play offense: run a few plays with precision or a hodge-podge hundred and hope the others guys were more confused. Tennessee in the Neyland era embraced the former philosophy (he rarely used more than 12 or 15 plays in any game, but all were near enough to flawless).

The T formation became the rage and a lot of other things developed.

Bill Walsh substituted the short passing game for a running attack.

Somebody invented the wishbone. Darrell Royal gets credit. Emory Bellard deserves more. Barry Switzer says Spud Cason did it at William Monnig Junior High in Fort Worth – be-

ways. It is a curse because it is impossible to fully understand.

Grab a ‘Life Line’

By Cindy Taylor Glenwood Baptist Church in Powell hosted the Life Line Community Health Screening May 22 at the church. More than 50 people took advantage of preventive testing in one place at the same sitting.

Life Line offers Carotid Artery/Stroke screening, Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm screening, Peripheral Arterial Disease screening and Osteoporosis screening in a single session.

They also check blood pressure. Jefrica Mitchell is a nurse and manager with the traveling medical unit.

“We have about 60 teams across the U.S. and in other countries,” said Mitchell.

“We travel every day Monday through Friday and work 12-13 hours a day.”

Life Line is crucial for many who don’t have health insurance, or who have difficulty getting out and might not otherwise be able to have the testing.

“My mother has been doing the Life Line screening every year,” said Ginger Wright. “It is very helpful to be able to have all of this done in one place.”

By Libby Morgan “It’s the time spent in the saddle that makes a better rider,” says Bob Roberts of Cedar Creek Farm in Gibbs.

“Nothing else is as important as practice.”

And Bob and Gail Roberts’ 20-year-old son Blake has put in lots of saddle time.

“He’s been riding a 1,300 pound horse since he weighed about 80 pounds,” said Bob, “Growing up, he rode just about every day.”

Blake’s practice has paid off over the years, as he has been earning blue ribbons in competitions against adults since he was 12.

Copper Ridge says goodbye to three staff members Three Copper Ridge Elementary School staff members were honored at a recent retirement reception. Principal Terry Frost, librarian Stan Stooksbury and 5th grade teacher Mary Garrison said goodbye to friends and co-workers.

Frost has been at the school for nine years and worked for Knox County Schools for 30 years. Stooksbury has been the librarian at the school for 22 years and Garrison spent 35 years teaching students at Copper Ridge. All three plan to relax a little, travel a bit and as Garrison said, “figure out what a retired person is supposed to do.” Frost calls Copper Ridge the “sweetest place in the world and a good place to grow children.” Garrison plans to return to the school and substitute some in the classroom. As for Stooksbury, he will stay busy with traveling, antique shopping, painting, and continuing to be the organist and librarian at his church. Photo by Ruth White

Shopper News Presents Miracle Makers

Belk helps schools Nick Moschella and his mom, Lisa, assemble bookshelves for West Haven Elementary. Employees at Belk in West Town Mall donated 2,050 books to the school. The staff has generously donated snacks for TCAP testing, lunch for the teachers during the year and provided drinks for field day events this year.

Bobby Livermore assembles a picnic table at West Haven Elementary School. Livermore and West Town Mall Belk employees spent the day at the school building the tables, painting hallways and building bookshelves. Photos by Ruth White

By Ruth White How to say thanks for 125 wonderful years in business?

The folks at Belk decided to do makeovers in local schools over a 125-day period (March 10 to July 12). Locally, the three Belk stores selected Spring Hill Elementary (Knoxville Center Belk), West Haven Elementary (West Town Mall store), and Christenberry Elementary (Belk of Colonial Pinnacle at Turkey Creek).

The Christenberry project is scheduled for Thursday, May 30, while the others were finished last week.

At Spring Hill Elementary, principal Judy Pickering had trouble finding words to describe her feelings for the project beyond “Wow!” “We are overwhelmed by the support from Belk and the opportunity they are providing for students, staff members and parents of this community,” she said.

Belk manager at Knoxville Center, Liza Wilson, said employees were given an opportunity to take a work day to help a school. “It’s been fun for us to help them out and it’s also been great team building for us.”

Working at West Haven

Belk employee (and parent of a West Haven student) Cynthia Walters and West Town Belk sales team manager Amy McGhee add color to the walls of the teachers’ lounge. Paint was donated by the Sherwin-Williams store on Clinton Highway.

Over at West Haven Elementary, West Town Belk sales team manager Amy McGhee said, “I’m excited to be here. It’s great to get out in the community and help out.”

Projects included: ■ Constructing picnic tables ■ Landscaping ■ Assembling and painting bookshelves ■ Painting murals ■ Creating “magic” reading mats ■ In-store book drives ■ Surprise makeover for principals

Steve Stuart stains a picnic table that he helped build for Spring Hill Elementary. Stuart and other employees at Belk in Knoxville Center pitched in to help out at the school.

Helping out at Spring Hill Jennifer Daniel paints the teachers’ lounge at Spring Hill Elementary School as part of Belk’s 125th anniversary celebration. Belk employees also collected books to fill the 12 bookshelves they will assemble during the project.

NEWS FROM LITTLEFISH LAND AND HOME

LittleFish offers innovative approach to real estate

By Shana Raley-Lusk Anyone who has ever tried to sell a home knows how difficult and confusing real estate transactions can be, especially given the current market conditions. Add to that the pressure of trying not to lose the equity that you have built up over the years, and it can be a recipe for a stressful situation. Fortunately, one local company’s business model has answers to all of the real estate concerns that sellers face.

LittleFish offers listing packages that are based on how long the seller wants to list the property rather than a commission based on the value. This way, the seller cuts out a large part of the overhead that is normally involved in selling a property through a traditional agency.

“Because of the savings, the seller will either have more room to negotiate or will pocket more money on the sale,” says Rob Mynatt, principal broker at LittleFish Land and Home.

tions and writing the contract if needed.

“Our listing packages start at $42 per month for the subscription-based package, or can be paid up front,” says Rob. “The seller gets the same MLS listing as they would with any other agency in Knoxville, but they also get an additional fifty plus real estate specific websites.”

A relatively young company, LittleFish is growing, and it is due in large part to its loyal client base.

“To date, I have not had anyone come away disappointed,” says Rob. “Until now, we have been largely a ‘grassroots’ and word of mouth agency because of satisfied people.”

Rob advises potential sellers to take a Rob Mynatt, principal broker at LittleFish comprehensive look at the process before making any big decisions where selling is Land and Home. Photo by Shana Raley-Lusk concerned.

When working with LittleFish, sellers “Try to imagine it after the home is schedule their own showings, but can still sold and you have moved on,” he sugrely on professionals to help with negotia- gests. “Consider all costs involved and

the time you are willing to spend on it.

Getting all of the value from your home is a one shot deal. After it is over, there is no going back to get more.”

LittleFish has something to offer every seller and provides a high quality service at a low cost. With plans to open in Memphis this summer and Nashville early next year, the agency has hopes of eventually expanding into other states. LittleFish will soon be hiring buyer’s agents for the Knoxville area as well.

“Broken down to its simplest form, we save money,” Rob says. “The equity built up in a home comes with years of hard work and sacrifice. Consider where it goes before you decide to sell.”

Hospitals roll with changing times

By Suzanne Foree Neal

David Bluford with Parkwest Medical Center was the guest speaker for the Rotary Club of Farragut at its May 22 meeting.

He spoke about changes to the health care industry, especially in Knoxville. Photo by S.F. Neal

Hospitals are places of service but are also businesses that are tasked with providing the best care for the money, the Rev. David Bluford told members of the Rotary Club of Farragut at the club’s May 22 meeting.

Bluford is a chaplain and director of guest services at Parkwest Medical Center and is a member of Rotary.

“Very few facilities can staff the total numbers of beds they have,” he said.

“The University of Tennessee, because it’s a training hospital, has a lot of residents on board. UT is the only Level 1 trauma hospital and has to be staffed at all times.

“One of the busiest hospitals in our area is Le Conte in Sevierville, probably because tourists go there because it’s the only medical facility in the area.”

Bluford says the days of free-standing hospitals are pretty much gone. It takes partnerships to provide all the services needed for a facility to stay open.

Most hospitals work on a 1 percent profit margin, he said. Not-for-profit hospitals have to reinvest revenue back into the facility.

“There are going to be changes in our region with alignment of facilities,” Bluford said.

“Obamacare, or the Pa-

tient Protection and Portability Act as it is really called, was passed because 32 million people don’t have health insurance.

“Major changes are coming for businesses with fulltime, part-time and occasional workers.

“Many companies are cutting hours so they don’t meet the guidelines for insurance.”

The health care industry is looking at big issues like lifestyle changes and providing more preventive care, he said, and businesses that focus on trying to keep people out of hospitals will increase.

“You’re not always going to find a full shop everywhere you go,” he said.

Bluford added there’s one big difference between hospitals and other businesses: “We don’t set our own rates.

“They tell us what we can charge for providing health care.”

Reported revenue at area hospitals was $581 million for UT Medical Center, $289.5 million at Fort Sanders Regional, $300.8 million at Parkwest and $246 million at Physicians Regional (Tennova, former St. Mary’s), said Bluford.

Bluford added that in 2010, Knox County had 2,167 licensed beds with 1,758 staffed beds for its population of 432,226.

“The website acts as a virtual recruiter,” she said. “It’s a resource for both employers and those seeking jobs.

Best of all, it’s free. This is your tax dollars at work.

“Jobs4TN is real and it works.”

Chumley is charged with marketing the program for 14 counties including Knox and Union.

Hallsdale Powell Utility District has set an evening meeting for Thursday, June 20, at 6 p.m. at the district office on Cunningham Road.

It’s a good one-hour investment of time to learn more about HPUD operations and upcoming projects.

Dale’s Sports in Halls has changed hands. The new owner is John Shaw. He bought the business from my friends Dale and Teresa Rutherford, 30-year owners/operators.

Shaw owns Solway Sporting Goods in Karns and also a store in Seymour.

He said the Rutherfords will continue to be involved with the Halls store as he seeks to meet customers.

As Ruth White wrote in the Halls-Fountain City Shopper News:

Adina Chumley “Dale’s Sporting Goods isn’t closing,” said Shaw.

“The name isn’t changing.

“This store has been a fixture in Halls for almost 30 years.”

Dale and Teresa Rutherford will still be part of the store, maintaining relationships and introducing Shaw to the loyal customers and friends of the business.

Shaw feels blessed to be part of such a great business that does more than just sell sporting goods.

He is an ordained minister who uses his love for sports (softball in particular) to reach out to prisoners.

For more than 15 years he has used softball to get into the yard where he ministers to prisoners through words and actions.

Shaw and his team travel to Florida, Kentucky, Alabama and Tennessee to minister in this unique way.

The Rutherfords know that the store they built from the ground up will be in good hands with Shaw.

“We want to thank the Halls and surrounding communities for being very supportive of us and keeping business local.”

NEWS FROM PREMIER SURGICAL

Ladies’ Choice: Single-Site Gallbladder Surgery “I got sick every time I ate and had an awful pain on my right side,” remembers Allison Peek.

For years, the 29-year old Knoxville woman had suffered increasingly painful abdominal cramps after every meal.

“I knew something was wrong,” says Allison. “It was affecting my quality of life.”

Allison, who works in the medical field, suspected a problem with her gallbladder, but didn’t have the typical risk factors. “I didn’t fit the profile – I’m not overweight, I’m young and active.”

Fortunately, she consulted with Premier Surgical Associates at Tennova North. Through several tests, surgeon Dr. Marcella Greene discovered that Allison’s gallbladder wasn’t working correctly.

The gallbladder is an organ un-

imally-invasive procedure, the gallbladder is removed through a small cut in your navel. The surgery is virtually scarless. Dr. Greene is one of the only surgeons in the region who performs the special procedure.

within days of her outpatient procedure. “To be able to have major surgery with absolutely no scar and little to no down-time is unparalleled!”

Allison is thrilled with her results. “I was home that night and was able to eat. And for the first time in years, it didn’t hurt.”

“Many people have immediate relief of their symptoms,” explains Dr. Greene.

And, with the da Vinci® robotically-assisted surgery system, there’s less pain and bleeding, and a shorter hospital stay and fast recovery.

“I had an awesome, awesome experience. I can’t say enough about Dr. Greene and her partners Dr. David Harrell and Dr. Roland Weast,” says Allison.
