If chickens could pay rent

Two proposed apartment complexes were a hot topic at last week’s Council of West Knox County Homeowners.

Members expressed dismay over the possible progress of a 246-unit apartment complex at Northshore Town Centre and the BZA denial of a zoning appeal brought by neighbors of the proposed Westland Cove development.

By Wendy SmithBearden residents can learn more

about the history of their community at an unlikely location — the Food City at 5941 Kingston Pike.

The collection of photos, artwork and historical information has grown since it was housed at Parker Brothers Ace Hardware, just down the road at 5214 Kingston Pike. Linda Lee, the granddaughter of Parker Brothers founder Lloyd Parker, ran the store from 1980 to 2005 with her husband, Chuck.

She installed the history display at the

store with her friend and fellow Bearden historian Terry Faulkner. When the Lees retired, the display moved to their basement while Linda sought a new location.

It made a brief appearance at the Silk Purse, the clothing store owned by Lee’s friend Judy Gardner. But when some of the frames came apart, the display returned to her basement.

Now, the expanded display fi lls the eat-in deli area at Food City. Lee credits Josh Gibson of Jerry’s Artarama for help

to see theold Bearden

rian Terry Faulkner, is part of a new display at Food City.

By Wendy Smith Bob Lupton was enjoy-

ing his fi rst Christmas as a resident of inner-city At-lanta when he witnessed something that changed his entire ministry. When members of a suburban church brought Christmas presents to a poor, urban family, the kids were ec-static, the mom was em-barrassed, and the dad vanished out the back door.

The charitable gift ex-posed the dad’s inability to provide, and it was more than his fatherly pride could handle, he said.

Lupton, the author of “Toxic Charity,” shared insight he’s gained from more than 40 years of ministering to the poor at Cedar Springs Presbyte-rian Church’s 2014 Global Mission Conference.

After that Christmas, Lupton examined the ministry’s other charity programs and noticed a pattern. If someone re-ceived something once, they were appreciative. If they received it twice, there was some anticipa-tion. When they received it a third time, it created expectation, and after the fourth time, it created entitlement. If someone received something fi ve times, the result was pure dependence. That, he says, is toxic charity.

From then on, he adopt-

ed the position that charity is helpful only in a crisis sit-uation. After the crisis has passed, it’s time to rebuild.

“Development is the right response to chronic poverty issues,” he said.

Defi ning “crisis” is tricky. Hunger, he said, is not a crisis.

“In 42 years of living in the city, I’ve never seen a starving person. I’ve seen food insecurity, but not starvation.”

Lupton’s response to the chronic needs of his neigh-bors was to build healthy relationships, something that isn’t accomplished through one-way giving. To page A-3

“The goats were very popular,” said TCWN Exec-utive Director Renee Hoyos. “People were coming by to take pictures, and they got to be a real family attrac-tion. Children loved them.”

In addition to being entertaining, the goats were so effi cient that they cleared enough ground for

He began to see both the needs and the resources in his neighborhood, and uti-lize the resources. Nobody is so poor they don’t have something to contribute, he said. Even the home-bound elderly can serve as the neighborhood watch.

His golden rule is “Nev-er do for others when they have the capacity to do for themselves.”

The ministry’s pro-grams evolved into neigh-bor-run organizations that meet needs and empower. A free clothing closet be-came a business when cus-tomers were required to purchase items. The new business provides employ-ment, and customers feel appreciated rather than demeaned.

A food pantry became a food co-op when neighbors pooled resources to have more purchasing power at a local food bank. The ar-rangement led to a weekly potluck lunch where neigh-bors show off their cooking skills.

Christmas has changed, too. Generous church members still purchase items, but the unwrapped gifts are placed in a store where parents can shop for their children at reduced prices.

Kitchens are the hub of the home and are used for more than preparing meals. Areas for doing homework, electronic docking stations and desk space are often included. Even when entertaining, everyone seems to congregate in the kitchen.

The design trend is open, airy kitchens that are an extension of the living area. Islands are hot and offer a multitude of functionality. Think of how you use your kitchen and what you need to maximize. Do you need a breakfast area, a large cooking space, a second prep sink or just additional storage? It all can be incorporated in an island!

The kitchen island is a centerpiece and should stand out. The countertop, base cabinetry and hardware can be different from the rest of the cabinetry but should coordinate. What a great place to add a bold pop of color and a striking lighting fixture!

Island design elements are endless! From small and simple to large and multi-faceted, choose from features like pull-out storage, shelving, glass doors, decorative posts, corbels & legs, and wine storage. Cook tops, dishwashers, wine coolers and prep sinks are often installed in the island area. Don’t forget to add electrical outlets!

When thinking about designing your island, space guidelines from the National Kitchen and Bath Association (nkba.org) recommend at least 42 inches of aisle space surrounding an island, and 48 inches if there are multiple cooks. Counter heights are 36 inches and breakfast bar height is typically 40 to 42 inches.

Are you ready to get started on your island project? Stop by Modern Supply and look at their kitchen displays for inspiration. Design consultants are ready to help you create your dream island.

■ Caregiver workshop is WednesdayAlzheimer’s Tennessee will offer a Caring and Cop-

ing Caregiver’s Workshop from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday, March 12, at the Laurel Church of Christ, 3457 Kingston Pike. Melanie Bunn, an ex-pert in gerontological nursing and de-mentia, is the speaker.

The workshop is designed for fami-ly and professional caregivers and will provide a better understanding of Al-zheimer’s, strategies for dealing with common behaviors and information

about legal issues involved with caring for someone with dementia.

“There’s not a defi nite diagnosis sometimes, and families are not sure what’s going on,” says Linda John-son, director of programs at Alzheimer’s Tennessee.

Things get especially diffi cult when patients don’t want to give up their independence, she says.

The workshop seems like a long day, but it goes by quickly, says Kay Watson, director of communications at Alzheimer’s Tennessee. The program, which includes lunch, is $20 for family care partners and $40 for profes-sional care partners, who receive six hours of continuing education credit. Financial assistance is available.

Alzheimer’s Tennessee provides education and sup-port services through its Knoxville Alzheimer’s Ten-nessee WALK on Saturday, April 12. To sign up or get more information about both events, visit www.alz-Tennessee.org or call 544-6288.

Two proposed apartment complexes were a hot topic at last week’s Council of West Knox County Home-owners. During a round-table discussion, members expressed dismay over the possible progress of a 246-unit apartment complex at Northshore Town Centre and the BZA denial of a zoning appeal brought by neighbors of the proposed Westland Cove develop-ment.

CWKCH President Mar-got Kline is keeping a close eye on Flournoy Develop-ment’s efforts to rezone 10 acres at Northshore Town Centre to allow 24.9 hous-ing units per acre. The acre-age is within city limits but is immediately adjacent to county homeowners. Kline’s petition against the de-velopment now has 1,400 names.

After MPC denied the zoning change, Flournoy took the issue to City Coun-cil on Feb. 18. Second Dis-trict Representative Duane Grieve moved that the ap-peal be returned to MPC so that the One-Year Compre-hensive Development Plan and Zoning Plan could be amended to allow the city to classify the property High Density Residential.

Kline wonders if the city can change a county sector plan.

BZA Chair John Schoon-maker reported on the recent BZA meeting but wasn’t able to comment on Westland Cove, which is now in litigation. CWKCH

If chickens could only pay rent …

members wondered what will happen to older apart-ment buildings if too many units are built.

On a lighter note, County Commissioner Mike Ham-mond said the county would like input on chickens in subdivisions. A resident re-cently complained to Ham-mond that the county was threatening to condemn her coop. When he investigat-ed, he learned that there is nothing in the county code regarding chickens.

“In all the years I’ve served on commission, I’ve never addressed chickens,” he said.

He also reported that the county’s tax revenue was down by $1 million for the month of December. That could affect school fund-ing, he said, but noted that the county’s pension fund is healthy.

Captain Jeff Palmer of the Knox County Sheriff’s Offi ce advised residents to remove valuables from parked cars as there has been an increase in broken car windows. He also en-couraged residents to report unwanted solicitors.

“If you see something that just doesn’t look right, give us a call, and let us check it out,” he said.

with mounting the display. She’s also grateful to such local historians as Howard Claiborne, Morton Rose and Bud Albers for contributing information.

Lee, a watercolor painter, is a visual person, so she’s placed a high priority on photographs of the homes and businesses that have come, and mostly gone, over the past two centuries.

“You can’t tell about something if you don’t have a picture,” she says.

There are photographs of the Sutherland Avenue airport, Bearden’s earliest elementary schools and family photos taken on front porches of iconic homes like Knollwood on Bearden Hill. Businesses such as the Wayside Inn, Mayo’s Garden Center and the Forest Park Boulevard location of Parker Brothers are also represented.

Quilt squares created by Mary Dowell, born in 1896, refl ect her childhood memories of P.A. Anderson’s General Store, Erin Presbyterian Church, Weisgarber Mill and Central Baptist Church of Bearden.

A fact sheet reveals that Bearden was named Erin by John Reynolds, who came to the area from Ireland in 1817. Erin was changed to Bearden in 1885 in honor of Marcus de Lafayette

A few historic buildings are represented by prints of Lee’s paintings, like the William Baker Lonas home, which was demolished in 1978, and the J. Allen Smith home, which was razed in 2004. She began painting in the late 1970s during sleepless nights caused by chronic health problems. She estimates that she’s produced 1,000 paintings, mostly as

gifts for friends.It’s important for people

to be reminded of how the area used to be, Lee says.

Her favorite era in Bearden was when L.B. Richardson ran two gas stations near the intersection of Kingston Pike and Forest Park Boulevard, and Kay’s Ice Cream was located next to Parker Brothers.

ents,” Lupton said.He shared the story of his

neighbor, Virgil, who com-plained about the vans full of church people that fl ood into the neighborhood each sum-mer to do service projects.

He wouldn’t go so far as to say they weren’t needed, but he suggested that ser-vice projects should be

community-initiated and community-led. He also thought suburbanites could learn a thing or two from those in the inner city.

Lupton shared Virgil’s words: “They have no idea how God is working in our neighborhood. They have no idea what it’s like to live by faith.”

crews of inmates who came behind them to be able to remove a massive dump site that included more than 500 junked tires.

The brush and the trash weren’t the only things that needed clearing, Hoyos said.

“Not only are we clean-ing the water, but we were cleaning titles. Every one of those (properties) had some crazy drama. The area had been a dump site forever.”

The fi rst fi ve acres of the forest were acquired by TCWN as a result of a law-suit it fi led in 2003 against Knoxville Utilities Board for

storm-sewer overfl ows that polluted the groundwater and leached into the creek.

In 2004, KUB was slapped with a consent decree obligat-ing it to a supplemental envi-ronmental project requiring the purchase of property around the creek to establish an urban forest to protect the creek and surrounding wetlands, and the parties reached an agreement.

In 2007, neighborhood resident Rick Roach and fellow St. Luke’s Episcopal Church parishioner Lida Mayer started Friends of Williams

Bearden, who served as both sheriff and mayor. It also details the arrival of some of the area’s earliest families — the Millers, the Lonases and the Weisgarbers.

An entire wall is dedicated to Eastern State Hospital, later named Lakeshore Mental Health Institute.

Featured Speaker Michael Howard, M.D.

Former City Council member Chris Woodhull has moved to the Chatta-nooga area, where he lives in Lookout Mountain, Ga., although he maintains his domicile here in Knoxville.

Over coffee recently, Woodhull, 54, told this writer that he continues to host “Improvisations” on Friday nights for WUOT; he started doing it before he left council in December 2011. “I grew up with jazz,” he says. He comes to Knox-ville weekly to tape the show on the UT campus.

He also does consult-ing work with Richmont Graduate University, which has sites in both Atlanta and Chattanooga. He is the director of Build Me a World, which can be found at www.buildmeaworld.com and is in a partnership with Fancy Rhino productions.

He’s glad he served on City Council as an at-large member for eight years but calls his performance “underwhelming.”

“I could have been better prepared for the life of a politician. Meetings often seemed artifi cial.”

He described colleagues Mark Brown and Bob Beck-er as “good friends.” He said he would not have run for a third term even if the City Charter had permitted it, but after eight years on council he thinks the mayor should be allowed to seek a third term because it is dif-fi cult to accomplish much in only eight years.

Woodhull said he was “glad to have been the deciding vote in choosing Knoxville’s fi rst African-American mayor (Daniel Brown).” The other four were Marilyn Roddy, Dan-iel Brown, Becker and Joe Bailey. Each was the decid-ing vote on a 5-4 vote on a

nine-member council. ■ The “Ed and Bob

Show,” which used to be on WNOX, may appear on Knox County Commis-sion starting Sept. 1 if Bob Thomas and Ed Brantley are elected to the commis-sion’s two at-large seats. Brantley is opposed by Michelle Carringer, and Thomas is unopposed.

Brantley says he and Thomas did not always agree on the “Ed and Bob Show.” Thomas is seen as a person (one of several) who may run for county mayor in 2018 when Tim Burchett’s second and fi nal term ends.

■ The contest be-tween Ed Shouse and Craig Leuthold for the GOP nom-ination for county trustee will be hard fought. It revives memories of Black Wednesday, when County Commission disgraced itself with backroom deals naming each other and family members to various county positions.

Leuthold named his father, Frank, to his own seat. He also voted to install Fred Sisk as county trustee. Sisk then turned around a few weeks later and increased Leuthold’s salary by 44 percent (ac-cording to NS editor Jack McElroy’s column), making it an expensive thank-you for county taxpayers.

■ Events in Ukraine change daily, and the ulti-mate outcome is uncertain. Having lived in Poland from 2004 to 2009, I had a front-row seat observing how Ukraine freed itself from the former Soviet Union and moved haltingly toward democracy and economic vitality.

The Putin-inspired occu-pation of Crimea is another major setback to Ukraine. Poland, rightfully, remains deeply concerned about developments there and wonders how steadfast the United States will be over the long term in restor-ing Ukraine’s territorial integrity.

By Sara BarrettWhen Rep. John J. Dun-

can Jr. stepped off a plane in Knoxville from Washing-ton, D.C., he went straight to Barnes Barbershop in East Knoxville for impor-tant business. His grand-son, Zane Jr., was getting his fi rst haircut.

“You can solve the prob-lems of this country better here than in Congress,” said Duncan of the barbershop on Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue. He took off his suit jacket before settling down in the barber chair with Zane Jr. on his lap.

“The tradition of Barnes Barbershop has been go-

ing on for a long time in our family,” said Duncan.

A young Jimmy Duncan was taken there by his dad, the late John Duncan Sr., in the late 1940s for his first haircut. He became a regular and took his son Zane there for his first trim. Barnes opened in the 1920s and is still operated by the same family.

Barber Debbie Barnes kept the shop’s basket of lollipops handy as she snipped the split ends from Zane Jr.’s mane. The hair-cut lasted about seven min-utes and his mom, Hallie, saved some locks in an en-velope as a souvenir.

Absher was an early member of the Tea Party but says she is no longer involved with that group. She was elected to the Re-publican State Executive Committee in 2010 and is not seeking re-election. She is critical of Common Core State Standards and says she would not have voted to extend McIntyre’s contract.

She has a degree in ge-ology and is a technical writer. Her husband, Steve, teaches chemistry at Halls High School, and she has been a regular at school board meetings in recent months, wearing red and sitting with the teachers, many of whom strongly support her candidacy.

Fourth District incum-bent Lynne Fugate is one of schools superintendent James McIntyre’s strongest allies. She is in her second year as school board chair and is seeking to be elected to a second term.

Fugate is sitting pretty, money-wise, reporting a balance-on-hand of nearly $18,000 at the end of the last reporting period, on Jan. 31. Her list of fi nan-cial supporters is long and impressive, studded with the names of some of Knox-ville’s most powerful citi-zens. She raised much of her war chest at a January fun-draiser at the home of Ann Haslam Bailey, including a $1,000 contribution from James Haslam II, also a strong McIntyre supporter.

This is not a staggering

sum by national standards but is enormous compared with opponents Sally Ab-sher and Jeffrey Scott Clark, who were exempt from fi ling detailed fi nancial disclo-sures because they received and spent less than $1,000.

Fugate is local market executive for SmartBank and served as executive director of Nine Counties, One Vision, a regional planning initiative launched in January 2000. Her two sons attended West High School, and she has served as president of the West High School Foundation.

When teachers showed up to air their complaints about McIntyre’s methods at the January County Com-mission meeting, clad in red for solidarity, Fugate chose a seat between McIntyre and his chief of staff, Russ Oaks. She did not wear red.

Clark is a fi rst-time can-didate and a political un-known – at least to this re-porter. He has not returned phone calls, and there is

The Knox County Board of Zoning Appeals meeting last month was a baptism by fi re for a reporter learning a new beat.

Lesson No. 1: Eat be-fore the meeting.

I’m only half joking. The meeting ran four-plus hours. The big daddy was neighbors’ appeal of devel-oper John Huber’s proposed Westland Cove marina and 312-unit, four-story apart-ment buildings near Sink-ing Creek.

After roughly eight hours of discussion over two meetings, the board voted. And that’s when the trouble began. Motions to deny an appeal are a reverse nega-tive – like trying to read the cereal box in a mirror.

King and Huber swamped Wayne Kline, particularly at the January meeting, with facts. Kline rebounded during the second show-down, but his voice shook at times with emotion. King remained composed, even when audience members started shouting at him.

A majority of BZA com-missioners set out to reject John Huber’s development; instead, it was affi rmed. (Huber said later he’s likely to appeal to Chancery Court to reinstate the marina, but it’s full speed ahead on the apartments.) Fatigue had to factor in the confusion, as did the “no means yes” quirks in the motion.

Oh, by the way. BZA com-missioners don’t get paid.

Up jumped lawyer John King, representing Huber.

“The motion has failed. In order for the appellant to be successful, you must produce fi ve positive votes.” Deputy Law Director Daniel Sanders agreed.

Kevin Murphy moved to overrule MPC and kill the marina. His motion passed, 5-3. (Murphy, Car-son Dailey, Bill Sewell,

Murphy wanted to amend the 20 conditions MPC had attached to the apartments’ approval but said he couldn’t do it on the spot. He moved to overturn MPC’s use on review. This motion failed 3-5, which meant MPC’s approval of the apartments was upheld.

I’ll say this in a soft voice: There isn’t enough happi-ness in Richard Pickens’ life.

The Ol’ Vol has an assort-ment of problems. Some, estrangement from family, for example, he brought on himself. Some descended on him like a dark cloud.

Since retiring as a rail-road executive, he’s been in the fourth quarter for what seems like a long time. It could be he is in overtime. He has supposedly been di-agnosed with “amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and second-ary frontal temporal demen-tia with pseudobulbar palsy.”

Since my medical exper-tise is in bruises and abra-sions, this is out of my pay grade. Some old teammates are convinced the affl iction goes back to too many hits with the helmet, too many concussions treated with smelling salts.

Pickens was a Tennessee fullback in 1966-68, part battering ram, part bowling ball, leading rusher in the Southeastern Conference as

Pickens is a Vol for life

Several fans embrace the idea. Alas, their lasting com-mitments sometimes fl uctu-ate, depending on Saturday scores.

With former players, it tends to be real. Ol’ Vols hang in there. There is a genuine bond. Former tackle Jerry Holloway has a mailing list of hundreds who share the ups and downs, fi shing tales, obituaries, anniversaries, accomplishments by chil-dren and grandchildren, news of knee replacements, and other hard-earned aches and pains.

They remain bound to-gether by fellowship, loyalty and the color orange.

Pickens was the focal point of such love last week. Distinguished artist Alex-ander Dumas initiated it.

As the story goes, Pickens commissioned a painting 15 or 20 years ago of a favor-ite play. When he came to claim the fi nished product, it wouldn’t fi t inside his Volk-swagen.

“Later” was somehow forgotten and Dumas fi led his handiwork in a stack of other treasures. He found it

in time for the current art exhibition at Clarity Pointe. Of course it was a delightful surprise for Pickens.

Ol’ Vols and several others shared in the celebration. A fun time was had by all.

Blessings on the good man Dumas, an unexpected ray of sunshine in Richard Pickens’ life.

Full disclosure: Alexan-der Dumas once gave me a print of his very best snow leopard. I thought it was Smithsonian quality.Marvin West invites reader reaction. His

He earned a law degree, played a large role in build-ing the framework for the Tennessee Valley Fair, might have helped found the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and became a local household name selling cars, once taking a cow as partial payment for a Studebaker.

Meet Claude S. Reeder, who was born on July 14, 1886, in Knoxville, the son of Columbus Alexander and Adelia Hodges Reeder. Co-lumbus Reeder was a prom-inent Knox County farmer and held several political offi ces in the county, includ-ing sheriff from 1876 to ’80.

Claude graduated from old Girls High School, the predecessor of Knoxville High School, and enrolled at UT, where he played half-back on the football team and also lettered in basket-ball and track. He received his bachelor’s degree in elec-trical engineering in 1908 and promptly enrolled in the College of Law. Although he never practiced, he felt the knowledge enhanced his skills in business.

On June 10, 1909, Claude married Ella McKee Dur-ham (1886-1982). They had four children: Claude S. Jr., John Alexander, Richard Durham and Betty McKee (Houston).

Col. Reeder fi rst worked as a clerk in the Knox Coun-ty Tax Assessor’s offi ce but

later resigned to found the Cherokee Motor Co., the lo-cal seller of Studebakers.

He earned his nickname “Tradin’ Claude” when he advertised, “We trade for anything but a rattlesnake.” His photograph with the cow taken as partial pay-ment made the local papers and was picked up by the national NEA news service.

A promoter of the Ap-palachian Exposition in 1910 – the forerunner of the Tennessee Valley Agricul-tural and Industrial Fair – Reeder remained interested in the fair throughout his life. There were many good years and some very lean ones, but eventually that fair became the “father” of the Tennessee Valley Fair.

An apocryphal story, to which many lend credence, credits Reeder for infl uenc-ing Gov. Austin Peay to take an interest in efforts to es-tablish the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. As the two sat on the porch of Reeder’s summer home in Kinzel Springs, Claude said, “Governor, these mountains would make the fi nest sce-nic park in the world. Why don’t you ask the legislature to acquire the land?”

Coincidence or not, in 1925 the legislature enacted the Little River Lumber Co. Purchase Act, one of the fi rst moves toward estab-lishing the park.

Tradin’ Claude’s remarkable life

Late in life, Reeder cal-culated that he had served on 47 corporate boards over the years including: chair of Reeder Chevrolet Co.; chair of Cherokee Oil Co., which he founded in 1928; direc-tor of White Star Bus Lines; chair of several Seven-Up bottling companies (Wash-ington, D.C., Rochester, N.Y., Richmond, Va., and Winston-Salem, Asheville and Charlotte, N.C.); presi-dent of Morris Plan Bank; president of the East Ten-nessee Fair Association; and president of Lynnhurst-Resthaven Cemetery Co.

Lynnhurst Cemetery had been established in 1922, when its fi rst presi-dent, James Lyle Humphrey (1870-1925), bought the initial acreage west of First Creek near Greenway. Soon, the property north of Adair Drive was purchased from the Sanders estate, heirs to a portion of the original Adair land grant. Later, with Claude Reeder as president, the corporation bought the old mill property near the cemetery entrance from O.W. Sweat. Reeder presided over the corporation from 1929 until 1938, when he was succeeded by W.B. Hatcher.

Reeder also owned Park Amusement Company, which operated rides and concessions at Chilhowee Park. His real-estate hold-ings included several U.S.

Post Offi ce buildings, which he leased to the government.

In addition, he served in many civic and fraternal or-ganizations: the Knoxville Kiwanis Club, Elks Lodge (life member), the Masons (32nd Degree), Kerbela Tem-ple, Chamber of Commerce (director), the Wonderland Park Club and Cherokee Country Club. He and Ella were also active at Church Street Methodist Church.

He loved the outdoors and particularly enjoyed hunting and fi shing with his friend W.R. Kennerly. They often went to South Dakota for pheasant and to Canada for moose and deer hunting and muskellunge fi shing. In ad-dition to the summer home in Kinzel Springs, where the community considered him the honorary mayor, the Reeders later enjoyed a win-ter home in Fort Myers, Fla. When Norris Dam was built and the lake impounded,

R e e d e r built a lodge on the lake-shore, where his personal friend, Army Gen. Mark Clark, was a guest.

But, most of all, he en-joyed his old family home place, 316 W. Hill Ave., currently the site of the City County Building. The picture window in his den overlooked the Tennes-see River (Fort Loudoun Lake). A mounted buffalo head hung over the great stone fi replace, while other trophies of pheasant, elk, Rocky Mountain sheep and game fi sh were hung around the room.

Col. Reeder suffered a fatal heart attack while at-tending a reception in hon-or of Sen. Herbert S. “Hub” Walters in Morristown on Oct. 17, 1964. Knoxville Mayor John Duncan had asked him to read a procla-

mation and present the keys to the city of Knoxville to Walters.

After services at Mann’s Mortuary, he was interred in the Reeder Mausoleum in Lynnhurst Cemetery. He was survived by his wife, Ella Durham Reeder; a daughter Betty (Jack) Hous-ton; two sons, Claude Jr. and Richard D.; four sisters, Wanda C. (Roy) Roth, Fay T. (James) Dempster, Mary J. (Roscoe) Word and Elma P. (Howard E.) McClellan; brothers Columbus A. “Lum” Reeder and Ross Reeder; 10 grandchildren; and fi ve great-grandchildren.

a senior, 736 tough yards, then the most by a Vol since Hank Lauricella in 1951.

Going back to Young High School, Pick was never a tip-toe runner. He was nimble and quick but did not rely on fancy moves. He butted peo-ple who got in his way, broke many tackles and probably created some running lanes with intimidation.

Pickens still “plays” foot-ball with his wonderful col-lection of friends who (oc-casionally) stop by his home at Clarity Pointe in Farragut. Sometimes they just talk about big plays, magic mo-ments, precious memories that need to be refreshed. Sometimes they watch old games on Vol Network DVDs. Sometimes they and Richard

go places, to lunch or to see things, and talk some more, going and coming.

Mike Miller, Mike March-ant, Larry Brown, Randy Webb, Van Fillingim, Sam Venable and Bobby Wag-goner have been part of this support system.

Dick Williams, Charlie Rosenfelder and Dewey Warren are in the informal group. There may be a doz-en others. Jim McDonald, a teammate at Young High and UT, is a mainstay. He manages Pickens’ pensions and fi nancial matters.

McDonald and Pickens go back to the beginning. Their competition to see which was best probably made both better. That their rela-tionship has lasted so long provides a peek into some-thing called “Vol for Life.”

That smart term was created as a recruiting tool to help convince prep pros-pects that Tennessee play-ers are all in this together, once a Vol always a Vol, for-ever and ever, amen.

at Farragut First United Methodist Church got a special Valentine’s Day gift from the church: a Par-ents’ Night Out that gave Mom and Dad a few hours alone while the children

had their own party at the church.

The event pulled out all the stops to entertain kids from birth to fi fth grade.

There was music, crafts, food and two special mov-ies – “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” and “Lady and the

Tramp.” A meal of spaghetti and

meatballs mirrored the Ital-ian dinner scene in “Lady and the Tramp.”

Children were encour-aged to wear their pajamas to be comfortable for a fun evening.

The youth served double, sometimes triple, duty as they slipped into costumes, pulled out their instruments and microphones, served food and welcomed guests to help raise funds for three up-coming youth mission trips.

The organizer behind Concord’s Got Talent is the church’s director of youth,

Jane Currin. In addition to dinner and a show, guests participated in a silent and live auction. Professional auctioneer Elaine Graham made the live auction fun and profi table.

“It was a record night with the auction bringing in $20,000,” said Currin.

Monies raised will sup-port CUMC’s youth as they travel to Eleuthera in the Bahamas over spring break and partner with Bahamas Methodist habitat. Thirty students and adults will serve in the home repair project.

Also benefi ting are the youth’s summer mission projects. This summer, over 50 students will travel to Plymouth, N. C., to help repair homes for the un-derserved. A choir tour this summer will take them to Richmond, Va., where they will perform in churches, assisted living facilities and children’s homes.

“It was a fabulous eve-ning,” said Currin. “A con-gregation who loves their youth and supports mis-sions can do wondrous things together. All things are possible.”

Through a video presen-tation, the student body at Bearden Middle School learned the story of Rachel Scott, a 17-year-old student who was the fi rst person killed during the Columbine shooting in 1999. Before the shooting, Scott encouraged others to show compassion for one another and have tolerance.

The video was presented by Rachel’s Challenge, an international organization started by Scott’s family to help share her legacy of stu-dents helping each other see their own worth and combat bullying.

After watching the video, about 100 students were handpicked for a sort of em-powerment workshop.

“If you are in this group, you have been identifi ed by teachers as someone willing to stand up and make a dif-ference,” Jackson told the students.

Participants shared their own experiences with over-coming adversity, and they learned ways to spot poten-tial struggles for classmates and how to help defuse situ-ations.

We want to put hands and feet on the message,” said Rachel’s Challenge speaker Daryn Jackson of spread-ing the word throughout the school. FOR Club (Friends of Rachel) will now meet at BMS on a regular basis, and

“If there are people who act like bullies, there is usually a reason and they need an extra dose of kindness. We need to learn to see through the situation instead of at the situation,” she said. Info: www.rachelschallenge.org.

■ Sequoyah’s teacher of yearMelissa Irwin has been

chosen as Sequoyah El-e m e n t a r y S c h o o l ’ s teacher of the year. Irwin has taught at Se-quoyah for four years and also has taught at Seymour

Primary and Sarah Moore Greene.

“My favorite part of teaching is being with the children,” said Irwin. “I love getting to know them indi-vidually and knowing their likes and dislikes. They love you unconditionally, even when you mess up. What more could you ask for?”

Irwin said it is important for teachers to feel appreci-ated and to get a pat on the back every once in a while. “It reaffi rms that you’re do-ing a good job and that what you are doing is making a difference.”

The fi rst grade teacher has been married to her husband, Brian, for 21 years. They have two teen-agers, Lauren and Neal.

“Veteran teachers have a lot of great advice and expertise to offer,” said Ir-

■ Etiquette workshopPersonal stylist, fashion

consultant and etiquette coach Sher-ry Ailor will host an eti-quette class for girls in grades 6-9 the week of spring b r e a k , March 17-21.

“Etiquette is not a pair of pants, and it is not a tube of lipstick. It will stay with you throughout your life,” said Ailor. “Just jump in. Hold your nose, and jump into the deep end.”

Workshops will kick off Monday at Salon Visage for customized lessons on proper skin and hair care, and the classroom will move to Turkey Creek Tues-day and Wednesday where participants will learn per-sonal style.

A formal, 5-course meal will be held at the Hilton on Thursday where Ailor will teach how to keep a fork and knife in the same hands. “Not zig-zag style,” she said, referring to the way most Americans pass their fork and knife between both hands while cutting food and eating each bite.

Students will give a one-minute speech on Friday about what makes them unique. Swag bags and cer-tifi cates of achievement will be given.

Property sales steadyNews From The Register of Deeds

By Sherry WittFebruary is tradition-

ally the slowest month of the year for real estate activity and m o r t g a g e lending, and last month was certain-ly no excep-tion.

W h i l e p r o p e r t y

sales held their own, mort-gages were down from both January and last February’s totals.

In February, 551 total property sales were pro-cessed in Knox County. While that was slightly more than the number of transfers in January, it was well short of the 639 parcels that sold in February of 2013. The ag-gregate value of land trans-ferred was off about $14 million from last February but was substantially short

of the $143 million worth of property sold in January.

The fi rst month of 2014 was some $60 million ahead of last year’s pace.

Mortgage lending con-tinued to trend downward. About $158 million was loaned against real estate in Knox County compared with $202 million in January and $278 million in February 2013. The past six months have shown a consistent de-crease in overall mortgage lending.

The largest land transfer was for residential property on Scenic Drive in the Se-quoyah Hills community, which sold for $1.8 million. There were no large sales of commercial property.

Topping the lending side was a mortgage securing property off Gleason Drive known as the Raintree apartment complex. The loan was recorded in the amount of $6,289,100.

Bridging the digital divide in Lonsdale

News From KCDC

By Alvin NancePhyllis Patrick, head of

the Lonsdale Homes Resi-dent Asso-ciation and a resident member of the KCDC Board of C o m m i s -sioners, has a vision for her commu-nity.

Her vision is a Lonsdale Community Technology Center.

More than 200 school-aged children live in the Lonsdale community. Only 18 percent of them have home access to the Internet. Studies consistently show a connection between pov-erty and lack of access to the Internet, a true digital divide across income lines.

This gap affects school test scores. Lonsdale chil-dren perform below the state average. Some of this can be attributed to lack of access to technology in their homes.

Commissioner Patrick believes we can bridge the digital divide in Lonsdale by placing a technology cen-

ter in the Lonsdale Homes community, and her vision is taking shape.

Plans call for locating the center in the on-site resi-dent association offi ce. In addition, neighboring steel recycler Gerdau has pledged fi nancial support toward outfi tting the center with computers. A team from the current Leadership Knox-ville class has adopted the project also.

We have consulted with Amy Brace, principal at Lonsdale Elementary, on student needs. We plan to start with students in the younger grades. When kids are not at the technology center, the neighborhood’s senior residents can also in-crease their computer skills.

We hope to have a grand opening in June to bring Commissioner Patrick’s vi-sion to fruition. As she told her fellow commissioners last month:

“I am glad to be a part of this. This is my neighbor-hood, and I want it to suc-ceed.”

Thanks to the help of all our partners, her vision will succeed.

Alexia Murriel

Fulton grad explores art at PSCC

News from PSCC - Magnolia Campus

By Heather BeckWhen most people think

theatre masks, the ancient Greek masks of comedy and tragedy come to mind.

Alexia Murriel, a student at Pellissippi State Com-munity College’s Magnolia Avenue Campus, recently put her own slant on a fi nal project in a theatre class by creating African-inspired religious masks.

A Fulton High School graduate, Murriel is in her fourth semester at Pellis-sippi State, pursuing a gen-eral associate of arts degree. Once fi nished, she plans to attend a four-year univer-sity and earn a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engi-neering.

“Rituals were one of the early forms of theatre,” Mur-riel said. The masks were modeled after those used in Nigeria and Zimbab we.

For Murriel, her love of art and her career pursuits are drawn from the same well of interest.

“I’m very much a hands-on and experimental per-son,” she said. “Anything I can make with my hands that’s my own idea is what interests me.

“Art was something that found me in elementary-school art class – I found that I was pretty good at drawing. At fi rst it was just pencil and paper, but now I use mostly acrylic paint on canvas boards. Then, in high school, I found I was

really good at math, so I be-came interested in mechan-ical engineering.”

Murriel is inspired by nature, but also by graffi ti, three-dimensional chalk drawings and aerosol art on canvas.

“I draw or paint just about anything that’s ap-pealing to the eye.”

In addition to attending college, Murriel also has considered joining the U.S. Air Force or Air Force Re-serve as well.

“I’m still exploring my options. I came to Pellis-sippi before going to a uni-versity to just get a feel for the college life.”

The Magnolia Avenue Campus is at 1610 E. Mag-nolia Ave. Info: www.pstcc.edu/magnolia or 865-329-3100.

Art in Public Places arrives downtownAn array of large public

art was installed downtown over the weekend, most no-tably an 18-foot-tall painted steel sculpture by Roches-ter, N.Y.’s Albert Paley.

The sculptures are here through a program, now in its 8th year as a featured presentation of Dogwood Arts in partnership with the city of Knoxville.

Paley’s “Envious Com-posure” was erected in the Cradle of Country Music Park at Gay Street and Sum-mit Hill Drive.

It’s one of about 20 piecesbeing set up in advance ofApril’s Dogwood Arts Fes-tival.

Paley’s sculpture was lastexhibited on Park Avenuein New York City. It will beon display in Knoxville fora year, and it’s for sale. Pur-chase price: $380,000.

Paley, an active artistfor four decades, is the fi rstmetal sculptor to receive theInstitute Honors awardedby the American Institute ofArchitects, the AIA’s highestaward to a non-architect.

NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

Fort Sanders Regional and Thompson Cancer Survival Center provide the region’s most comprehensive cancer care. From diagnosis to treatment to rehabilitation, we offer care options not available anywhere else in our region. Working together to provide the best patient care - that’s Regional Excellence!

(865) 673-FORT (3678)

CENTER OF EXCELLENCE: ONCOLOGY

Brain tumors take many forms, cause diff ering outlooksThere are more than 120

types of brain tumors. A diagno-sis of any of them is very specific and individual to the patient. It’s also life-changing, life-threaten-ing and often a shock.

“Brain tumors can be insidi-ous,” said Dr. Paul Peterson, a n e u r o s u r -geon at Fort Sanders Re-gional Medi-cal Center. “ I n i t i a l l y , many people think their s y m p t o m s are a stroke. There can be h e a d a c h e s ,

and subtle personality changes can occur even before the head-aches occur.

“But unlike stroke symptoms, which are sudden, brain tumors can enlarge silently for a long time,” Peterson added.

Each year, an estimated 200,000 people are diagnosed in the United States with some type of brain tumor, according to research by the National Cancer Institute. Most tumors, about 160,000 of them, are spread from cancers in other parts of the body. These are called “met-astatic” tumors.

Symptoms and treatment of brain tumors

Symptoms of brain tumors can be subtle at first, but they increase as the tumor grows larger.

“The symptoms of brain tu-mors are weakness; headache, especially one that’s worse in morning; nausea; and vomit-ing, if the tumor is big enough,” said Dr. Paul Peterson, neu-rosurgeon with Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center and Fort Sanders Neurosurgery and Spine.

There are four main types of treatment for brain tumors, and most patients receive a combi-nation of therapies, depending on their specific needs.

■ Surgery – The goal of surgery is to remove as much of the tumor as possible with-out damaging the surrounding brain tissue. At the very least, the surgeon will get a sample of the tumor for a biopsy, but in many cases the tumor can be removed. The biopsy reveals whether the tumor is cancerous or not.

■ Radiation therapy – Us-ing X-rays, gamma rays or pro-

ton beams, radiation therapy either is used to shrink tumors before surgery or as a follow up to surgery to get rid of any residual cancer cells left. Some types of radiation are used on non-cancerous tumors as well.

■ Chemotherapy – Medi-cations that kill cancer cells are often used after surgery to re-duce the chance the tumor will grow and spread.

■ Targeted therapy – New medicines being tested in clini-cal trials work differently than standard chemotherapy. In-stead of killing all cells, they target certain types of cells in an effort to stop tumors.

■ Watchful waiting – For slow-growing tumors, this ap-proach involves regular moni-toring of the tumor without ac-tively removing it.

For more information about treatment options for

brain tumors at Fort Sanders Regional,

call 865-673-3678 or visit fsregional.com.

Gamma Knife – a treatment optionFort Sanders Regional Medi-

cal Center and Thompson Cancer Survival Center work together to offer the latest in surgical and non-surgical brain tumor treatment options.

“Thompson is just across the street from Fort Sanders, so we work together for radiation treat-ment and chemotherapy,” said Dr. Paul Peterson, a neurosurgeon at Fort Sanders. “Plus, we treat with the Gamma Knife, we do biopsies

and brain tumor removal.”Fort Sanders has the region’s

only Leksell Gamma Knife Perfex-ion unit, the most advanced and widely used radiosurgery treat-ment in the world, which uses focused radiation to target can-cerous tumors precisely, without damaging nearby tissue.

This technology is most often used on metastatic brain tumors and to supplement traditional brain surgery or in cases where

traditional surgery is not possible. Other advantages to Gamma

Knife treatment include: ■ Typically the procedure is

done in a one-day session. ■ Gamma Knife is non-inva-

sive, minimizing surgical compli-cations.

■ Recovery time is minimal al-lowing patients to return to their normal activities and lifestyle.

■ Multiple sites can be treated during one session.

Paul Peterson, MDNeurosurgery

cer are the most likely types of cancer to spread to the brain. Working with Thompson Cancer Survival Center, physicians at Fort Sanders use a combination of surgery, radiation and che-motherapy to treat metastatic tumors.

“We customize a treatment program for each patient,” said Peterson. “It just depends on what they need.”

A smaller portion of brain tumors, about 40,000 per year in the U.S., originate within the brain. These are called “prima-ry” tumors. Of those, less than half are cancerous, although they still may be life-threatening because the tumor presses on the brain.

“Not all brain tumors are cancerous,” explained Peterson. “But benign tumors still need to

be followed and may need to be removed because of pressure on the brain.”

After removal, most benign tumors do not grow back or spread further, but serial follow-up with a neurosurgeon may be needed to watch for potential recurrence. Under a microscope, benign tumor cells usually have distinct borders and almost a normal appearance, according

to the American Brain TumorAssociation.

“We do a CT scan and an MRIand these may provide goodclues, but sometimes you needa piece of the tumor before youknow it’s truly benign or cancer-ous. You can tell something’sgoing on but not the specificsabout what it is,” said Peterson.

“Some benign tumors areclassic looking, others we’re notsure. Sometimes tumors canlook benign but they turn out tobe metastatic cancer.”

A malignant primary tumoris one that is cancerous. Thesetend to be fast-growing and sendout tentacle-like tissue into therest of the brain, or shed cellsthat travel throughout the brain.

No one really knows whatcauses primary brain tumors,although excessive radiation ex-posure does increase the risk, asdo a few rare genetic conditions,according to the National Can-cer Institute.

“Some speculate head traumacan cause certain benign tumors,but how many times do you hityour head over a lifetime? Onething we can say is that there’sno association with cell phonesor living near power lines,” saidPeterson.

“Really the term is multifac-torial, because there is no onething associated with brain tu-mors,” he added.

with Tom Boduch

Coffee Break

With all of the retail and restaurant options at Turkey Creek, it’s hard to choose a favorite. But not for Dr. Tom Boduch.

Boduch coordinates the Steinway Society, a group sponsored by the American Piano Gallery. The physician has been a fan of the store since before it existed.

When he and his wife, Betty, were building their home in 2001, one of the most important features was a space for a piano. “I bought my piano from Bill Metcalf, owner of the American Piano Gallery, at his Nashville store and became active with the Nashville Steinway Society,” says Boduch. When Metcalf opened his Turkey Creek store, he asked Boduch to start a Steinway Society in Knoxville.

“It’s basically a music-appreciation society,” says Bo-duch. “We have six free concerts a year. We had our fi rst meeting in April 2010. We’ve had classical pianists, jazz, new age, ragtime.”

There are no dues to pay, but members sometimes fi nd themselves on the bill. Visiting performers range from in-ternational piano stars to students from Pellissippi State Community College, Carson-Newman University and East Tennessee State University.

Boduch himself has performed, though his main musi-cal interest right now is composing.

A native of Springfi eld, Mass., Boduch grew up in a working-class family. His grandparents were immigrants from Poland. His father worked in a factory, and his mother cleaned offi ces. “My father never fi nished seventh grade, but he built the house I grew up in,” says Boduch.

He went to Springfi eld College and lived at home to save boarding costs. He earned a medical scholarship from the U.S. Air Force and went to medical school at the University of Vermont. After completing his internship in San Antonio, he was assigned to a small base in Syracuse, N.Y., that has since closed.

Boduch discovered East Tennessee while passing through on his way to New York from Texas. In 1984, he moved here and worked for an emergency room staffi ng group for fi ve years. Since 1989, he has had his own pri-vate practice in Kingston, but he has never forgotten his love of music, which took root when he played in the or-chestra during his school days.

“I’ve been interested in music most of my life,” he says. “I started off on the violin, but I was more interested in arranging and composing, so I gravitated toward the pia-

no. I put it aside to pursue medicine.”Medical school didn’t allow time for music, and other

outside activities have kept him busy during his profes-sional years. He joined the Masons in 1991 and was chosen as the state grand master a few years ago. He still serves on several committees. He is the past board president of Roane County Habitat for Humanity and has worked on more than 50 Habitat houses.

But now that he has the piano of his dreams – and hav-ing turned 60 last year – he has returned to his fi rst love.

“I try to spend at least an hour on the piano or com-posing music every day.” He says his style falls under the New Age or adult-contemporary umbrella. “It’s relaxing, soothing and suitable for meditation.”

He and his wife have also become concert promoters. They post events and share his music on www.tbconcerts.org.

“I expect to release a CD later this year,” he says. “This will be my fi rst one of original music. The working title is ‘My Musical Renaissance.’”

Sit back and have a Coffee Break as you get to know Tom Boduch.

baby is due, only to fi nd out she wasn’t pregnant.

What are the top three things on your bucket list?Dive to the Titanic wreck site. Be a contestant on

“Jeopardy!” Fly into space.

What is one word others often use to describe you and why?Renaissance Man. I like to be involved with a wide

If you could change one thing about yourself, what wouldit be?

Nothing – I’m fi ne with myself as is.

What is your passion?Learning as much about and participating in as many

things as possible.

With whom, living or dead, would you most like to have along lunch?

I still can’t quite get the hang of …Drawing, painting, coloring – anything involving art.

What is the best present you ever received in a box?My fi rst computer – a 16K Apple II – more than 30

years ago.

What is the best advice your mother ever gave you?Always do your best.

What is the worst job you have ever had?Janitor.

What was your favorite Saturday morning cartoon and why?Wyle E. Coyote and the Road Runner on Looney

Tunes. He’s creative, innovative and never gives up.

What irritates you?All the paperwork and administrative hassles in-

volved with practicing medicine today.

What is your greatest fear?Losing friends and people important to me or who

have infl uenced my life.

If you could do one impulsive thing, what would it be?Take a trip to visit the Great Wall of China, the Pyra-

health & lifestyles

Just a breath of air and fewer headaches. That’s all Mae Jacks wanted.

But when the Heiskell grand-mother broke her nose in a fall last September, she had no idea that the injury would lead to a chain of events that would not only give her back the ability to breathe freely, but also eliminate her mi-graines, stop her snoring, and re-turn the sense of smell and taste she thought was gone for good.

“I wasn’t looking for a miracle, but it looks like I got one,” said Jacks less than a month after Dr. Mark Overholt performed a sep-toplasty and balloon sinuplasty under general anesthesia at Park-west Medical Center.

It took about a half hour for Overholt to perform the operation in which he not only straightened Jacks’ deviated septum, but also used a catheter to deploy a nonla-tex balloon into her sinus passage to open up her nasal airway.

Her breathing improved almost immediately.

And within a week of the sur-gery, Jacks said, her long-forgot-ten sense of smell returned. “I knew this had to be sinus-related because I used to have a great sense of smell,” she said. “But it had gotten to where I couldn’t smell at all. Now I look forward

to things like when someone says, ‘Let’s have a big dinner.’ Before, I would go, ‘Yeah, yeah’ because I liked to cook. But now, my joy is back because I can smell the food again. I teased Dr. Overholt that now I have to watch what and how much I eat now because every-thing tastes so good!”

Of course, the restored sense of smell also means that she can again detect those less-than-

pleasant odors her husband brings into the house from his workshop.

“If I’m in the living room and he comes in through the garage, he can’t even get into the house be-fore I’ll be telling him, ‘You smell like gasoline!’ ” Jacks laughed. “He’s fascinated that I can smell things again. He got away with it for years.”

While the restored sense of taste and smell were unexpected gifts, Jacks is elated that she can now breathe easily and has not had a migraine headache since the surgery. She had battled the head-aches for years, but they had be-come worse over the last fi ve.

The headaches, usually cen-tered on the right side of her head and accompanied by nausea, were so bad that she would retreat to bed. “I would just ice it, just freeze it,” she said. “It was the only way I could fall asleep. My husband would ask, ‘Is there anything I can do for you?’ And I would say, ‘No, it’s just got to run its course.’ And I probably took too many antibi-otics because of it and that’s not good for you either.”

In fact, Jacks says the years-long search for an answer to her re-curring sinus infections and head-aches was an exasperating journey fi lled with decongestants, antihis-tamines, phenegren and over-the-

counter migraine medicine.Most often she found herself in

an allergist’s offi ce. “I took allergy shots for many years, and they would give me medicine for my si-nuses and stuff. They would try to change my medicine, and a couple of times they would do a CT scan,” she said. “But they always said, ‘Your sinuses look fi ne.’ Of course, they were not fi ne.”

She even quit wearing her CPAP machine because she felt that it was contributing to her sinus in-fections. Of course, now that she’s had the surgery, she feels she no longer needs it, particularly since her snoring is gone.

Ironically, it took a fall and a broken nose for her to fi nd relief. Overholt says it will take about six weeks for Jacks to fully recover from her surgery because the sep-toplasty requires follow-up offi ce visits to keep the nasal passages clear of scabbing. Had she only re-quired balloon sinuplasty, Jacks’ recovery would only have been about two days.

Regardless, she’s happy with the outcome.

“I got a lot more out of this procedure than I ever thought possible,” she says with a laugh. “I thought I was going to have to endure these headaches the rest of my life.”

Mark Overholt, M.D. reports that balloon sinus dilation is an increasingly preferred choice among patients searching for a minimally-invasive choice with a fast recovery. Much like angioplasty opens coronary

arteries, balloon sinuplasty utilizes a nonlatex balloon to open the sinuses. Once the balloon is defl ated and removed, the sinus is clear to drain. Illustration courtesy of Entellus.

If all these things are in your medicine cabinet and you’re still battling recurring sinusitis, Dr. Mark Overholt says you may want to consider balloon sinuplasty.

Much like angioplasty opens coronary arteries, balloon sinu-plasty utilizes a nonlatex balloon to open the sinuses. First approved by the Food and Drug Administra-tion in 2005, the balloon is deliv-ered via a small catheter up the nasal passageway where it is gently infl ated to widen sinuses closed by swelling and infl ammation. Once the balloon is defl ated and re-moved, the sinus is clear to drain.

“It’s a neat procedure. I was dubious when I fi rst started,” said Overholt, an otolaryngologist with Parkwest Medical Center. “I said I would have to see the data and fi nd out whether this is real or not.”

That data, collected via a three-year randomized, controlled trial sponsored by Entellus Medical, was overwhelmingly convincing. Looking at placebo, traditional endoscopic sinus surgery and balloon sinuplasty at six-month, one-year and three-year intervals, the study concluded that balloon sinuplasty not only works in most cases, but also lessens the risk of recurrence.

“The way to look at balloon sinuplasty is that it’s another tool,” said Overholt. “It forces us to look at our sinus patients in a little dif-ferent manner. There is a patient population that, in the past, may have been under-treated in an at-tempt to not be overly aggressive.

Mae Jacks describes balloon sinuplasty as “a miracle.” An unexpected side eff ect of the surgery for Jacks is that her sense of smell returned.

rhinosinusitis – is an infl am-mation of the tissue lining of the sinuses that affl icts mil-lions of people each year.

Common symptoms ■ Facial congestion/fullness ■ Nasal obstruction/blockage ■ Nasal discharge ■ Fever ■ Headaches ■ Fatigue ■ Dental pain ■ Bad breathNormally, sinuses are fi lled

with air, but when sinuses be-come blocked and fi lled with fl uid, pathogens (bacteria, viruses and fungi) can grow and cause an infection. Struc-tural issues such as narrowed drainage anatomy are often associated with sinusitis.

Aff ected sinusesThere are four types of si-

nuses – maxillary (behind the cheek bones), ethmoid (between the eyes), frontal (in the forehead) and sphenoid (behind the eyes). All of these sinuses can be affected by si-nusitis. The majority of cases involve the maxillary and eth-moid sinuses.

Now, we have another tool in our toolbox to help treat those people.”

Overholt says many are pre-scribed steroids, antihistamines, decongestants and antibiotics by primary care physicians hesitant to steer patients to a surgical solution.

“In many of those cases, I would imagine that the balloon proce-dures would eliminate their ill-nesses – put them back in the nor-mal population,” said Overholt.

While the success rate of sinu-plasty vs. traditional sinus surgery is virtually identical, the sinu-plasty patients recover 70 percent faster, require little debridement or removal of cut or damaged tis-sue (8 percent vs. 74 percent) and

feel better faster (59 percent vs. 38 percent).

Perhaps even more telling is that balloon sinuplasty can some-times be performed in the doc-tor’s offi ce under local anesthesia.

“In the past, when we’ve done sinus operations, we had to take patients to the operating room to do them. But one of the nice things about this new balloon procedure is that it opens up potential for us to do offi ce procedures for people in some circumstances,” said Overholt. “We still do a fair number of these in the op-erating room, some of which is because they are paired with other proce-dures which require general anesthesia. But this is some-thing that will offer a patient an opportunity to do some offi ce-based procedures as well. It’s nice because it’s minimally invasive. From a patient’s perspective, re-covery is super quick. When you do the balloon procedure, you are just dilating up the natural drain-age pathway, or ostium, that God put there to allow the sinuses to ventilate.”

Another major benefi t of the balloon sinuplasty, Overholt said, is the lack of recurring infections.

“By dilating that area, you are

not subject to recurring infections like you were before because when you got an allergy attack or a cold or fl u in the past, if you had a real-ly narrow neck that was ventilat-ing the sinus cavity, just a little bit of swelling would close it off and leave the potential for a second-ary infection,” he explained. “But now, if you balloon dilate it, there is a much more of a safety mar-

gin. So if you get a cold or an allergy attack or something, you are open enough that you probably won’t obstruct that area with just normal swelling so you don’t have that secondary risk of developing a sinus infection as frequently as you did before.”

That’s not to say, however, that the bal-loon sinuplasty

is the end-all answer for all sinus sufferers. In fact, certain sinus conditions disqualify a patient from balloon sinuplasty.

“It’s not for everybody,” said Overholt, adding that patients who have chronic infections of the ethmoid sinuses between the eyes and patients with polyps are not eligible for the balloon procedure.

“The ethmoid sinus is just out-side the path of normal surgery,” he explained, showing a diagram of how the ethmoid sinus is ana-

tomically inaccessible. “If you havechronic sinus infection up here, di-lating this area doesn’t do anything for that … that requires a tradition-al operation to clean out the littlehoneycombed air cells in the eth-moid cavity that lead to recurringor chronic infection in people.”

Polyps, Overholt said, actually form because of recurring infec-tions which infl ame the sinuses and cause swelling. “We used to think that was probably allergy-driven but most people who havepolyps just have a very hyperac-tive immune system,” he said. “They have an inability to regulateinfl ammation in the sinus cavity.As a result, as their immune sys-tem runs amok trying to fi ght off invaders, it creates super swelling in the sinus tissue and these little sac-like clusters of swelling that we call polyps, and those polyps endup being physical obstructions of the sinus cavity. They will hold in-fectious material back in the sinus cavity and prevent you from clear-ing. And balloon sinuplasty simply doesn’t get rid of the polyps.”
