Providing a Superior Quality of Life for Seniors in Knoxvilled l f f f

ALL-INCLUSIVE $2895/Month

By Laura ClineFor a Hardin Valley couple,

spring means honeybee heaven. Artist Neranza Noel Blount and her husband, Don Sobsczak, have a farm that does double-duty, es-pecially in the warm months. The farm doubles as both honeybee and encaustic artist paradise.

Encaustic art, an ancient art method and medium, uses colored hot beeswax to paint on a variety of surfaces. The 15 hives located be-hind their house and maintained by Sobsczak, a beekeeper, this art-ist’s wax supply never runs dry.

Five years ago, Blount didn’t know anything about encaustic art. “I was at the Knoxville Muse-um of Art, and I overheard people talking about art they saw at an in-ternational show in Miami. Some-one mentioned encaustic art, and I was intrigued,” she said. “For one month, I read everything I could about it and watched videos. I was hooked.”

Although the community of en-caustic artists is growing today, this artistic medium has a long history. “The Egyptians fi gured

out that wax could seal the water out of boats, and that it can also hold pigment. So they then started decorating their boats with it,” Blount said. Egyptians also used this method for tomb portraits. “They would paint a portrait of somebody in their prime. It would hang in their home, and then when they died, it would go on the outside of their tomb.” After get-ting exposure to this portrait style at the Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts in Gatlinburg, Blount added this method to her encaus-tic repertoire.

“Encaustic is both the medium and the method,” said Blount. The artist uses a hot plate to heat the wax and then applies it to a sur-face. “You have to go fast,” she said. “When you pull it out of the hot plate, you only have about two seconds before it cools.” Blount can also use a heat gun to extend the amount of time to work with and manipulate the wax.

“This is it for me. I just love it,” Blount said.

Not only does the artist love the medium, but she also loves to use

her artwork as a platform. “Even if my subject matter doesn’t have a bee in it, it gives me the opportu-nity to talk about the importance of honeybees. People don’t realize that pesticides put out during the day will kill the bees. It’s all about education. We must learn to live with the honeybees.”

Blount learned the importance of living with the bees as a child. Her father, O.J. Blount, has been a beekeeper for 50 years and now lives in Southern Alabama. “My dad educated me about the im-portance of honeybees, so it seems like a natural progression to do it with my art.”

Blount enjoys doing different art series that highlight a particu-

lar theme or cause. She has done, for instance, a series on plants helpful to the honeybees and a series entitled “Barely There” that promotes environmental awareness and responsibility. Additionally, Blount has donated art to various causes including a fundraiser organized by Com-munity Television benefi ting East Tennessee Children’s Hospital and the non-profi t organization Random Acts of Flowers, which donates fl owers to hospital and nursing home patients.

Blount will be showcasing her art at the Dogwood Art DeTour April 12 and 13 and the 4th An-nual Art in the Park in Farragut on April 26 and 27.

By Sandra ClarkKnox County Sheriff Jimmy

“J.J.” Jones says he has all the patrol offi cers in neighborhoods that he can afford, that he’s almost doubled the count from January 2007 when he became sheriff, and that Bobby Waggoner knows better than to scare people about home safety.

Jones Waggoner

Analysis

Patrols are adequate, says sheriff ues to turn up the heat. He’s the most serious opponent Jones has faced since he was beaten by then-Sheriff Tim Hutchison in the GOP Primary in 2002. He then refused to endorse Hutchison and worked for Attorney General Randy Nich-ols, a Democrat, before patching things up with Hutchison and returning to the sheriff’s offi ce. Hutchison has endorsed Jones in this election.

Waggoner said last week that Jones could spend more on patrol if he didn’t serve as a “retirement home for former county commis-sioners.” Waggoner said six of them work for Jones, costing the county about $170,000 per year.

The six are: Greg “Lumpy” Lambert, Mark Cawood, Ivan Harmon, Larry Clark, Lee Tramel and Fred Flenniken. Four were on Knox County Commission when Jones was appointed to replace the term-limited Hutchison on the day now known as Black Wednes-day. One was hired the next day, said Waggoner.

Waggoner, who is challenging Jones in the May 6 Republican primary, earlier said neighbor-hood patrols are thin – fewer than 30 offi cers on a shift – and it’s a question of the sheriff’s priori-ties. The former chief of detectives promised more offi cers on patrol if he’s elected.

In an interview last week, Jones said his offi ce continuously moni-to rs calls to allocate offi cers to ar-eas of highest crime. “When I took over we had some 17 to 18 offi cers

on (patrol) duty. Now it’s about 30.”

Knox County outside the city (the Knoxville Po-lice Department patrols inside the city) is divided into 12 zones with a patrol car as-signed to each. There is overlap

during peak times (9 p.m. to mid-night) and times of heavy traffi c.

Jones says response time is cru-cial, so he has fewer offi cers on pa-trol during the middle of the night when traffi c is sparse.

South Knox has two zones, East Knox has two, North has three plus Halls and West has three plus the town of Farragut. There are precinct stations in Halls and Far-ragut and “about 44 to 50 square miles in each zone,” Jones said.

In addition to the patrol offi -cers, other certifi ed, gun-carrying offi cers are in the fi eld, Jones said, especially during the day when

civil and criminal warrants are served. “We have 220 offi cers (in addition to pa-trol) out in neigh-borhoods and in school zones. The men and women of the sheriff’s of-fi ce do a great job.”

Jones pegs n e i g h b o r h o o d

safety as “8 to 8.5” on a 1-10 scale. “People feel safe because we work hard,” he said. “People don’t want to live in a neighborhood that’s crawling with cops. What people want is quick response – an offi cer there when they need one.”

As to Waggoner’s criticism about “luxury SUVs,” Jones said his 4-wheel-drive vehicles were bought “straight off the state bid list and cost about $2,000 to $3,000 more than a regular police car.” He’s glad he had them during the snows of the past winter. “Vehicles are not a luxury item for law enforcement.”

Meanwhile, Waggoner contin-

When Marybeth Davis as Dorothy took the stage Thursday in the auditorium of Grace Baptist Church and sang the fi rst few notes of “Somewhere Over the Rain-bow,” I joined the rest of the audience in stunned silence. A diminutive Marybeth de-livered the classic tune with absolute power and clarity. This girl needs to click her heels together and get to “American Idol!”

Grace Christian Acade-my’s rendition of “The Wiz-ard of Oz,” like the original movie, began with a black and white set that suddenly burst with color as Dorothy wakes in Munchkin Land.

Showing off their techni-cal prowess and eliminat-ing the need for lengthy set changes, the background for a multitude of the scenes was digital. “The Wizard of Oz” is a pretty complicated musical to produce, but the kids and production crew pulled it off well.

And it was a huge pro-duction with more than 60 characters. There were parts for most every class. Middle and high school stu-dents played the main char-acters while elementary school students played the multitude of munchkins, fl owers and fl ying monkeys.

Grace Christian Academy takes a journey to Oz

Talk to the crowd and many tell you that produc-tions at Grace are routinely excellent. The school boasts an incredible talent pool, and the skills of director Tonya Wilson and musi-cal director Tracy Rodgers are incredible. The two also work on training the stu-dents to perform well and be confi dent in their abilities.

The show also featured some farewells for the se-niors.

“The Wizard of Oz” was the fi rst musical, but last production for senior Jay-len Haluska, who played the Scarecrow. He said the plays have taught him to go with the fl ow and impro-vise when things don’t go as planned.

Adding to the realism – and threatening to upstage them all – was a live terrier in the role of Toto. His sweet little barks and whines seemed to come just at the most opportune moments.

little girls known as Karns Brownies troop 20435 gath-ered at Karns Library last Tuesday to work on their philanthropy badge.

Guest speaker Angela Curssing, who adopted two Guatemalan children,

brought a slide show of her recent visit to Guatemala.

The girls learned that children just like themselves often don’t have shoes or enough to eat. They listened as the speaker talked about the value of giving personal time and efforts to help make a better life for someone else. The girls talked about ways to help, including foregoing

presents on their birthdays or asking gift-givers for do-nations for a worthy cause.

The girls did well in cookie sales, too. The troop sold nearly 2,400 boxes and went to Dixie Stampede to celebrate.

Troop leader Marianne Benson said she was thank-ful for volunteering parents who helped out that day.

Knox County Commis-sioner Brad Anders spoke with members of Karns Community Club to give an update on the senior center and fi eld questions about billboards.

The senior center is on target to break ground at Karns Sports Park in early May, and the design team is ready for the bidding pro-cess for building, he said.

The number and size of billboards still looms large. Anders said that while there was currently no way to have the giant board on Oak Ridge Highway at By-ington-Beaver Ridge Road removed, there might be a

silver lining to the near con-stant road improvement on Western Avenue.

That process will eventu-ally hit Oak Ridge Highway and downtown Karns. The road will be widened to ac-commodate more lanes and a sidewalk or bike trail. It is hoped that construction will do away with some of the billboards.

Anders encouraged club members to attend Knox-ville-Knox County Met-ropolitan Planning Com-mission meetings to keep their fi ngers on the pulse of change and to voice their concerns about future bill-board construction.

bill) much thought.”She was unsure how the

state attor-ney general should be chosen. She is not sure if the state consti-tutional amendment banning a state income

tax is wise and not sure how she would vote on it this November. She was also un-decided on the constitutional amendment changing the ju-dicial selection process. She said she would like to serve on the Education Committee and Government Operations Committee if elected. Gov-ernment Operations is not a major committee.

She says she has never met Gov. Haslam, even when he was mayor. She feels that Haslam “was much more for the regular people of Knoxville” as mayor, but as governor he “is more big-business- and corporate-minded, headed in a differ-ent direction.” She does back Haslam’s Drive to 55.

Asked how the race would differ if Briggs defeats Campfi eld, she says, “I have seen nothing to suggest he is different from Campfi eld.”

Her campaign manager joined our interview. He is Andrae McGary, 33, former member of the Chattanooga City Council and unsuccess-ful Democratic nominee for state senator in 2012. He moved to Tennessee in 2005 from Texas and won election in 2009 for one term. He and his wife, Cheryl, have 5 chil-dren. He will spend several days a week here in the Siler campaign. They met recently at a Democratic campaign seminar in Clarksville.

In this writer’s opinion Siler’s electability will de-pend on whether she is seen as a Wayne Ritchie, Tommy Schumpert or Phil Bredesen Democrat in a district that is overwhelmingly Republi-can. She must give Republi-cans a reason to vote for her. She is not there yet.

At a League of Women Voters forum last week, all six candidates for school board pretty much agreed about one thing:

While there is focus on the Richard Briggs challenge to state Sen. Stacey Camp-fi eld in the August Republi-can primary, there is also a Democratic candidate, Cheri Siler, an educator who lives in Fountain City.

West Knox County home-owners should pay attention to what happens at Thurs-day’s MPC meeting regard-ing rezoning in Northshore Town Center. The change would allow Flournoy De-velopment of Columbus, Ga., to build 246 apartment units on 10 acres adjacent to a neighborhood of single-family homes.

The Council of West Knox County Homeowners is certainly paying atten-tion. At last week’s meet-ing, president Margot Kline

encouraged m e m b e r s to contact MPC com-missioners to ask them to vote “no” on amend-ments to the K n o x v i l l e O n e - Y e a r

Plan and the Southwest Sector Plan that would al-low for high-density resi-dential zoning.

The progress of this de-velopment, as well as the

Vote on charter schools shows legislative disconnect

Charter schools – they don’t much like them.

“Troublesome,” said chair Lynne Fugate, who said the Metro Nashville school district loses $9 million to charter schools annually. Incumbent Pam Trainor also has concerns: “I don’t like to see public money go-ing to private entities.”

Challengers Sally Ab-sher, Scott Clark and Amber Rountree said they don’t like charters (with Absher saying that only half of charter schools outperform public schools). Clark rec-ommended putting teacher/coaches back in the class-

room to lower student/teacher ratios, while Roun-tree said that charters don’t play by the same rules and recommended that Knox County Schools focus on community schools instead.

Patti Bounds, running un-opposed, said she doesn’t like them either and fears that the charter trend will lead to public education for profi t.

The candidates – chal-lengers and incumbents alike – pretty much mir-rored the view of the school board, where only Doug Harris is an outright advo-cate for charter schools.

Bounds is either remark-ably prescient or keeps close tabs on what’s happening in Nashville because the next day after the forum, the House Education Committee – chaired by Knox County’s Harry Brooks – voted 8-7 to approve House Bill 1693, which “removes the present law prohibition against a pub-lic charter school contracting for the management or op-

eration of the charter school by a for-profi t entity.” Brooks and fellow Republicans Bill Dunn and Roger Kane voted yes, and the bill moved on to the Calendar and Rules Com-mittee (chaired by Dunn) to be scheduled for a fl oor vote.

But the for-profi t bill failed in the calendar com-mittee after Speaker Beth Harwell showed up to op-pose it. She said she feared it would hurt non-profi t char-ters, and she doesn’t want Tennessee taxpayer dollars going to out-of-state com-panies. Brooks and Dunn both voted to approve it, but Harwell prevailed, 7-10-1. Dunn hopes the bill can be salvaged and said he would hold it in his committee rather than referring it back to the Education Committee.

When asked why he sup-ported a bill that his school board clearly doesn’t want, he said the bill is set up to allow local school boards to vote on charter applications “which would have the man-

agement arrangement in it.”So who’s got their ear?Maybe those 59 lobbyists

being paid to push vouchers and charters?

“These lobbyists and (edu-cation commissioner Kevin) Huffman’s people are crawl-ing all over. I don’t think (Brooks, Kane and Dunn) are hearing it from their constit-uents,” said Democrat Gloria Johnson, a career teacher who couldn’t get a seat on the Education Committee.

“There’s millions’ worth of outside special-interest mon-ey fl owing into Tennessee elections to infl uence priva-tization policies,” she said. “A family with students in a public school whose funding is getting squeezed more and more has to wonder who is benefi tting. We’ve got to stop taking orders from corporate lobbyists and start listening to educators and parents.”

Or maybe legislators should just let the elected school boards manage the schools.

Siler needs GOP votes to win

Local Democrats say she is a credible candidate and a viable alternative to Camp-fi eld if he wins the primary. If Briggs wins, Siler has a much tougher contest in No-vember as he does not have the Campfi eld negatives.

This writer recently met with Siler. She presents an interesting profi le for local Democrats if she manages her campaign well with a compelling message.

She is the mother of six children at age 42. They are Carsten, 21; Tyler and Ryan, 19 (twins); Zachary, 18; Ja-cob, 15; and Kayley, 13. She is an instructional coach for Knox County Schools work-ing at Carter, South-Doyle and L&N STEM Academy and has tenure. She also helps her husband operate Volunteer Paving, a small business.

While raising her chil-dren she was active in the PTA/PTO of the various schools they attended in-cluding president of the PTO at Shannondale Elementary and Gresham Middle. The Silers live on Shannondale Road inside the city.

She comes across as a calm, sincere individual. She said it was this past December that she decided to enter the political arena for the fi rst time “because I was dissatisfi ed with the representation we had” (meaning Campfi eld).

Her website lists educa-tion, jobs and healthcare as her major issues. On some issues she is quite clear while on others she is vague or undecided. For example, she does not favor popular election of the county school superintendent.

She thinks it would be “a great idea” for the Knox leg-islative delegation to hold regular Saturday meetings for the public while the legislature is in session. That practice was discon-tinued some 15 years ago. She thinks the state should participate in Obamacare. She favors a minimum wage of $10.10 an hour over the current $7.70 and thinks it should be enacted in stages.

However, she said she had “not given (her fi rst

‘What’s that in my backyard?!’

nearby Westland Cove de-velopment, should be moni-tored by those who live along the Pellissippi Parkway cor-ridor. City Council’s appar-ent support of the Flournoy project, and County Com-mission’s rezoning in favor of Westland Cove, foretell a multi-story apartment com-plex in your backyard.

Frank Slagle, who repre-sents Northshore Landing at the homeowners coun-cil, reported on a meeting of individuals who oppose Westland Cove, John Hu-ber’s proposed 312-unit complex on Emory Church Road. The meeting was rife with rumors about possible development on properties along Westland Drive and George Williams Road.

“We have to fi ght these,

or they’re going to be every-where,” he said.

That may sound far-fetched, but a perusal of an-nual Development Activity Reports on MPC’s website (www.knoxmpc.org) shows a rise in multi-dwelling residential units built in the county’s southwest sector since 2009.

In each of the four years leading up to ’09, other county sectors saw more units built. In ’09, the only units added in the entire county were in the south sector. In ’10, ’11 and ’12, the southwest sector had more multi-dwelling residential units built than all other sectors combined. Data for 2013 is not yet available on the website. Obviously, Southwest Knox County has become a desirable place to build apartments.

Residents like Becky Benson may suffer because of the trend. Her property is adjacent to the proposed Westland Cove develop-ment, so she is contemplat-ing the view of a four-story

apartment building from her lakeside home.

The development is cur-rently in litigation, but even if it fails, she fears the re-zoning of the property from Agricultural to Planned Residential could open the door for more apartment complexes in areas where single-family homes are currently the norm.

“It sets a precedent for development at fi ve units per acre,” she says. Huber’s plan consolidates allowable units from a 100-acre parcel.

Jim Pryor, an appraiser with Dunn & Metz Apprais-al Group, says that as long as apartments are lucrative for developers, they’ll con-tinue to spring up.

“If Westland Cove works, the likelihood is increased that others will try it.”

The good news is that builders typically tailor their developments to the market, and the market can bear only so many apart-ment buildings, he says.

Until then, keep an eye on your backyard.

This time a year ago Ten-nessee football fans were excited about the new coach and the assumption that se-rious progress was coming soon. The forecast was for at least 7-5 and a small bowl game that Tennessee would obviously win.

Some have conveniently forgotten that 7-5 was the consensus. I tabulated the optimistic outlooks and talked myself into believ-ing enthusiasm was a satis-factory substitute for talent

and depth. I am old enough to know better.

Well, you do remember how last season turned out. Tennessee won one game, against South Carolina, that was unexpected. It came close against Georgia. The Vols looked awful losing to a very ordinary Florida. Mis-souri’s second-team quarter-back was considerably better than Tennessee’s No. 2.

South Alabama caused acute indigestion, but win-ning ugly is signifi cantly better than losing. I am still unable to explain how the Jaguars scored the fi nal 17 points.

The gut punch last season was the loss to Vanderbilt – the failure to gain one yard for a necessary fi rst down and standing by as Commo-dores drove 92 yards in the closing minutes, 12 plays, clincher by Patton Robi-nette, Maryville High grad rejected by the home team. Oh my.

Here we are a year later, getting excited about our upbeat coach’s second year. A major reconstruction job in the offensive and defen-sive fronts is ongoing. Butch will eventually identify a quarterback. After that, the honoree must be coached up to a competitive level.

A spirited website, Na-tionalChamps.net, offers a

preview of this fall. It has nine SEC teams in the top 25. It did not include Ten-nessee.

There are fans who just can’t believe our team is still 10th or worse in the confer-ence. How can this be with so many famous recruits?

NationalChamps.net says this is its 13th season of uncanny accuracy. It does not provide a lot of original material but averages the opinions of Athlon, ESPN, USA Today, Fox Sports, CBS – all armed with highly paid people who should know.

Predictions look much like the past:

1. Florida State; 2. Au-burn; 3. ALABAMA; 4. Or-egon; 5. OKLAHOMA; 6. Michigan State; 7. Stanford; 8. California-Los Angeles; 9. SOUTH CAROLINA; 10. Ohio State;

11. Clemson; 12. Louisi-ana State; 13. Central Flori-da; 14. Baylor; 15. Southern Cal; 16. Texas A&M; 17. MIS-SOURI; 18. GEORGIA; 19. OLE MISS; 20. Notre Dame;

21. Duke; 22. Louisville; 23. FLORIDA; 24. Nebras-ka; 25. Arizona State.

You are no doubt familiar with several on this list. The seven in capital letters are on the UT schedule. Please circle the ones you think the Vols can beat.

The other fi ve foes are sup-

posedly softer: Utah State, Arkansas State, Chattanooga and Kentucky at home and Vandy on the road. Please circle projected victories.

Add up your circles. Does Tennessee qualify for a mi-nor bowl game?

The goal is to get better soon, to become competi-

tive with good teams, be relevant again in the SEC, attract more paying cus-tomers (full-price tickets), sell more popcorn, earn more standing ovations.

If all that happens, the great philosopher is coach of the year.(Marvin West invites reader reaction. His

By Sandra Clark“You pays your money

and you takes your chanc-es.”

Money is tight, but Knox County Schools is set to open a brand-new high school in August. Offi cials toured the construction site last Mon-day. We’re spending $3.75 million to retrofi t the base-ment of the former Pana-sonic Building on Strawberry Plains Pike for classrooms and student labs.

The Career Magnet Acad-emy (CMA@PSCC) joins Pellissippi State Commu-nity College, which has of-fered classes in the building since 2012 and currently has 300 students enrolled.

Doug Dillingham, su-pervisor of facilities and construction, said Knox County’s space will contain 13 classrooms, two science labs, media center, wellness center, teacher workrooms, guidance offi ces and a caf-eteria.

KCS will provide food services and security.

The hook is dual credit for juniors and seniors – up to 33 college credits with no

Career Magnet Academy is huge gamble

tuition cost.Don Lawson, CTE super-

visor, said projected enroll-ment is 125 freshmen the fi rst year, adding 125 each year for a total of 500. “Forty percent of enrollees are girls and inquiries mirror the ra-cial mix of the system,” said Indya Kincannon.

Mike McMillan is cau-tiously optimistic. “We’re spending almost $4 million

here, and it has the poten-tial to be something really great. … I hope it doesn’t hamper the traditional vo-cational programs in other high schools.” He worries that the lack of athletics will restrict enrollment.

Principal Ryan Siebe doesn’t expect the CMA to weaken the nearby Carter High School.

“The special thing about

Carter is that it’s a compre-hensive high school with strong programs in academ-ics, athletics, band and the arts. We offer things that are not available in the mag-net schools and provide ex-periences that make Carter special.”

John Derek Faulconer, CMA principal, has visited every middle school, work-ing to recruit 8th-graders

for fall’s freshman class. He explains the four clusters: Advanced Manufacturing, Homeland Security, Sus-tainable Living and Teacher Preparation. Students are not expected to commit to a career path until their soph-omore year, he said.

The promise to parents: “A learning environment like no other … a culture of high expectations and

high outcomes … hands-on, project-based learning with a highly trained staff dedi-cated to success.”

Business partnerships with ALCOA, DENSO and Republic Plastics enable job shadowing, fi eld experience and internships. Transpor-tation will be provided from base schools, and the hours of operation are weekdays 9:30 to 4:30, following the KCS calendar. Enrollment information is available at www.knoxschools.org/.

Will this new school work?L&N STEM Academy

made sense from its launch. L&N appeals to the kid who trades football and pep ral-lies for a tech-based cur-riculum in a unique historic building downtown with easy access to UT profes-sors and labs. Students have enrolled from across Knox County, and this year’s wait-ing list is almost 200.

CMA is a bigger risk.With windowless class-

rooms on the outskirts of nowhere, the school is closer to Jefferson or Sevier county residents than the population center of Knox County.

The career magnet seeks the 8th-grader who can vi-sualize post-high school work-life, not as a chemical engineer but as a homeland security or sustainability technician, whatever that even means.

Anyone who has known (or been) an 8th-grader has cause to cringe.

“You pays your money and you takes your chances.”

Look at these rascals. There, down in the left-hand corner of the formal band photo. See those guys leaning?

They got into a lot of trou-ble for that.

You won’t recognize any faces in that photo. It’s from a distant land called Waynesville, N.C., and a faraway time known as 1973. Its members are now in their late 50s, though some of them haven’t made it past that.

One of them, in particu-lar, is on my mind. He made his exit recently.

His name was Robert. In the photo, he’s the fourth male from the left, fi ness-ing the prank with just the slightest tilt.

When he was diagnosed with cancer three years ago, he fought it into remission. He, his children and his wife of seven years – soul mates if ever I saw them – were just getting used to breathing easier.

But last November the disease came back in an-other form, and this time it meant business.

It took him down – sav-agely – in four months.

With a remarkable, high-ly decorated Air Force ca-reer, he was possibly, said a colleague at his funeral, “the best attack pilot this country has ever produced.” His receiving line lasted fi ve hours. Every intersection in town was blocked off for his

Carol’s Cornerfuneral cortege. He received full military honors at the gravesite, including a jet fl yover that was one of the most astounding things I’ve ever experienced – “unrav-eling,” said a friend. One by one, each soldier saluted his coffi n. It took a long time; there were a lot of them. They came from all over the country to honor him. They were his family.

But during his fi nal months, it was his old band-mates who took care of him.

Some of them gave him a last party at home. In his prime, he was one of the fi n-est big-band drummers on the planet. He could have made a career of it. So his pals had brought him a box drum – the kind you sit on and play with the fl at of your palms – along with some in-struments of their own. The jamming went on until he was too weak to continue. By all accounts, he had at least one night late in the game when he was happy, joyous and free.

One of those guys stayed on 24-hour call for months.

At any time of day or night, a steady stream of former Marching Moun-taineers entered the quiet, dark room to hold Robert’s hand and tell him how much he meant to them. Every re-quest from his family was

instantly gratifi ed by these same people.

The night Robert passed, several were there to hold and comfort his wife.

His funeral featured live jazz – his favorite music – provided by his friends.

And three of his old drum crew helped to carry his coffi n.

These days, when school music programs are fi ght-ing to survive, you hear a lot about what music does for

the brain. It’s all true. Kids who play an instrument do better in school. The study of music encompasses his-tory, geography, languages and math. It improves eye-hand coordination andteaches perseverance and discipline.

It also gives you friends – true, valiant friends – for life.

Whenever I read Mark’s account of the crowd’s excitement when Jesus entered Jerusalem, I am transported back to the Via Dolorosa on a day late in March.

The crowds thronged the streets that day, too, remi-niscent of a similar crowd who pushed and hurried along almost 2,000 years before. I was a pilgrim, like those so long ago, but I wished for quiet and still-ness in which to absorb the history that surrounded me, suffocating me. The crowd was loud and insistent, and I was swept along in the tide, forced to concentrate on maintaining balance and guarding my purse and my passport from pickpockets.

Across the years, I have tried to understand Palm Sunday separate from Good Friday and Easter. It is dif-fi cult to do because we – these 20 centuries later – know “the rest of the story.” We can see the ending, and it is hard to really experi-ence what we now call Holy Week one day at a time, without anticipating the happy ending.

That is one reason I ap-preciate the churches that

provide special services throughout the week. I know – from experience – the thought and hard work and preparation that goes into those services, and I am grateful to those creative and imaginative people who fi nd ways to bring the old, old story to life again.

I encourage you to wor-ship this week. Find a ser-vice – every day, if possible – in which you can walk with Jesus through these days. Read Scripture. Be there, in your heart and mind. Imag-ine the scenes, picture the people, hear the sounds, feel the emotions. Listen to Jesus teach in the Temple. Go to dark Gethsemane. Struggle up the hill to Gol-gotha. Watch the darkness enshroud the world. Hear the dreadful silence.

Shout your Hosannas! Proclaim your Alleluias! In between, however, live the story. It will be a blessing to you.

Then those who went ahead and those who followed were shouting, “Hosanna! Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord! Blessed is the coming kingdom of our ancestor David!

(Mark 11: 9-10 NRSV)

And how we love a parade!In a frenzy of celebration we gladly focus on Jesus and generously throw our coats and palms in his path ….

It’s between parades that we don’t do so well.From Sunday to Sunday we forget our hosannas.Between parades the stones will have to shout because we don’t.

By Nancy AndersonAngie Williams is a mar-

ried mother of four and author of “Women at War: Defending our Minds and Marriages” and “Garments of Splendor” Bible studies. She’s been an internation-al Christian motivational speaker specializing in women’s issues for 12 years and has been speaking spe-cifi cally about authenticity for more than a year.

Gathering to hear her last week were 240 par-ticipants in the Authentic-ity Women’s Conference at Grace Baptist Church. Helping organize the event was Grace’s family pastor, Bryan Robertson. “A wom-an who is confi dent in her-self and in her faith in the Lord, who trusts and allows herself the vulnerability of

speaking her concerns is a sexy woman,” said Robert-son. “That is an attractive woman, and I’m sure most men will agree with that.”

Williams encouraged women to look at where they traditionally go to fi nd a pic-ture of the perfect woman. She told the guests that fashion magazines show an unobtainable image of the perfect woman; a woman she says doesn’t exist, but still does serious damage to women’s self-esteem.

“Our worth and our value don’t come from the world,” she said. “It comes from Jesus Christ, Him and Him alone.”

Even in what may seem to be a good trait, there is danger, said Williams. The surest way to damage “self” is to be a people pleaser,

Central Baptist member Joyce Wyatt, who served as a missionary in Spain, Chile and Colombia, began Tu Dia with Anna Garlington in 2012 to help Hispanic wom-en feel at home in Knoxville.

“We just want them to know they are welcome here and have a special day just for them,” says Wyatt.

The event is also an op-portunity for Central Bap-tist members to serve and interact with the Hispanic community.

“It brings a better under-standing of our common humanity,” she says.

Her message to women was to cast off the masks of fear, shame and guilt and be genuine and authentic with

others. She encouraged the guests to give fears to Christ in prayer, be brave and be real. “It’s much less stress-ful,” she said.

Karen Dean Smith, Proj-ect Adam coordinator for East Tennessee Children’s Hospital, stopped by Far-ragut Primary School last week for a practice drill with the school’s emergency response team and its new Automated External Defi -brillator (AED).

“By the end of 2014, ev-ery elementary school in Knox County should have an AED,” said Dean Smith.

Project Adam was start-ed by the parents and best friend of Adam Lemel, a 17-year-old in Wiscon-sin who died suddenly in 1999 while playing basket-ball. The nonprofi t’s goal is to have an AED in every school in the country to help prevent such trag-edies.

Every middle school and high school in Knox County has an AED. Primary and elementary schools are fol-

lowing with the help of ETCH.

Dean Smith and FPS school nurse Connie Wil-liams led about a dozen fac-ulty members in the prac-tice drill. The scenario: the parent of a student has been found unresponsive in the library.

Response team members went into action, announc-ing an emergency over the intercom and rushing to the library to help. Some work crowd control, some take turns administering CPR and others fi ll in where needed.

The goal is to do as much as possible to save the per-son’s life until medical per-sonnel arrive. Each AED has audio instructions and can administer electric cur-rent to the patient without human assistance once the pads are in place on the per-son’s body.

According to Dean Smith, chances are the AED will not be used on a small child but on an adult volun-teer, parent or other visiting family member although there are child-size pads available if needed.

Farragut Intermediate School’s BMX bike show fi lled the middle school’s gym.

Professional riders from Creative Sports thrilled students with tricks on a large ramp that propelled them into the air toward the school’s basketball goal.

Maybe it’s just my age, but I could barely watch those guys ride up the ramp, just missing the basketball goal with the tops of their heads. Thank goodness they were wearing safety gear.

Prizes were given throughout the show and an autograph session was held afterwards.

By Sara Barrett“A Very Special Arts Fes-

tival” was held last week at West High School to showcase the work of Knox County’s students with special needs. This was the 33rd year for the event that is part of the Dogwood Arts Festival. “Art Under the Big Top” was this year’s theme.

Students in 32 classes from 21 schools in Knox County were scheduled to participate, and volunteers from the community came out to help them celebrate.

In addition to perform-ing, students could also have their face painted, play

cornhole, visit with crea-tures from the Knoxville Zoo and meet a myriad of mascots from local busi-nesses and sports teams.

Art education students from UT spent the day mak-ing crafts with the kids, and professor Stephanie Cramer said this is usually a high-light for the students during their college years.

“All of our students, when they become teachers, work with all sorts of students, and they need to be able to give ‘on the spot’ accommo-dations,” said Cramer. “This kind of practice is invalu-able for them.”

No dry cleaning here, un-less something escapes her attention, she said.

In addition to her mer-chandize, Edwards focuses on hiring people who are talented at creating outfi ts and helping customers ac-cessorize.

Edwards looks to offer more than just a bricks-and-mortar experience.

She is planning special events for the future, sends out a weekly newsletter and features an outfi t of the day on the store’s Facebook page. This month, she is participating in the Knox-ville Symphony League

fundraiser by sponsoring a “closet” that showcases nu-merous outfi ts at the Show House.

Open for two months now, Edwards is excited about the possibilities while remembering those who have supported her in the past.

“Our Loudon customers are following us over here,” she said. “We are very excit-ed about the reception. We defi nitely know we’ve made the right move.”

Although she enjoyed her time in consignment, this reinvented business touches Edwards on a personal note.

Baldwin nearly lost his life serving as a point man in the rice paddies of the Mekong Delta, and he remains grate-ful to the people who worked heroically to save him that night. Given the extent of his injuries, Bald-win should have died.

Baldwin visited the Rotary Club of Farragut recently and shared his story of surviv-al and details of the treach-erous landscape of Vietnam that included elephant grass eight-to-10 feet high, six-foot wide spider webs, cobras and large rats.

At 19, he volunteered for the Army in 1966 and was the point man for his squad, which meant he traveled ahead, trying to fl ush out the enemy and looking for mines and other traps.

Baldwin’s near call with death started as the sun was setting on May 1, 1967. He was scouting out a canal junction where he discov-ered a shrine and knew that the Viet Cong usually hid booby traps to maim or kill GIs who might wander in to collect souvenirs.

After checking the shrine, he searched a foot-path leading away and heard a horrendous explo-sion that tossed him on his

side, blinded him and left him unable to understand what was being said.

His men carried him on a poncho, accidentally drop-ping it into the water. It took six men to lift him up into the medevac helicopter be-

cause the water made the poncho heavy.

He remembers ar-riving at the fi eld hos-pital, grateful that he

had survived, remained conscious and endured the

pain. However, he heard a doctor say, “Go get a chap-lain,” meaning death was im-minent. Baldwin remained blind for seven days and had casts on both his legs and arms, but he survived.

Later, Baldwin traced the events of that night, learn-ing there were 25 people who had a hand in saving him. They were male and female, of different rac-es and ranged from high school dropouts to medi-cal offi cers. Before answer-ing questions from Rotary members, Baldwin posed one of his own.

“What other country on the face of this earth is ca-pable of pulling off a feat like that?”

By Bonny C. MillardThe owner of Veronica

G Boutique laughs when customers call her store looking for Veronica. She’s not trying to pull a fast one on callers: Veronica is her name, but she goes by her middle name of Gail, hence the G.

Gail Edwards opened her store in Turkey Creek, across the street from Zax-by’s, in February, but she had a prior location in Loud-on under another name. The name change is part of the store’s evolution.

Edwards explained that she bought Chic Boutique, a consignment shop, four years ago not long after moving to Loudon. She has 10 years in the consignment business and had owned a consignment shop in Geor-gia. For the last two years, Chic Boutique was retail.

The decision to move to Knoxville was a natural progression of the changes Edwards has been making including the name change. “One of my employees sug-gested I name it after me,”

said Edwards. “That made this store more mine.”

With the relocation, Ed-wards has been able to fol-low her own instincts in set-ting up the shop, decorating the premises and expanding the clothing lines.

“This store has become more of the dream and the vision I had,” she said. “We were able to put more of my stamp on the store.”

Edwards has defi nite ideas about the direction of her business, which has more than 25 brands of jewelry and clothing. She likes to buy American-made clothing, to support women-owned businesses and to purchase fair trade products.

“We try not to let things get stale,” said Edwards, who added that they change the displays regularly and receive new shipments ev-ery week.

Although she does carry some classic pieces, her moderately-priced clothing lines offer customers some-thing different, usually with a lot of color, and have an

By Cindy TaylorNeil Roberson jokes that

he “stumbled” into his trade because of his love of beer and wine. He quickly adds that he wouldn’t call what he does making a living, but it sure is a job – and it’s one he loves.

Award winner and master distiller Neil Thomas Rob-erson, known for marketing purposes as the Tiny Hill-billy, manufactures moon-shine fl avors for distribution through his company, East Tennessee Distillery. Rober-son doesn’t sneak out in the middle of the night to check the still, and he isn’t hiding his brew from revenuers. What he concocts soars as high as 150 proof and is 100 percent legal. But this ain’t yer Pappy’s moonshine.

MC’s Wine and Liquor on Strawberry Plains Pike sponsored a premier tast-ing of East Tennessee Dis-tillery’s newest moonshine fl avor, Honey Ginseng, on a recent Friday.

Folks poured in from all over to get a glimpse of com-pany co-founder “Tiny,” who has made an appearance on the History Channel’s show “Appalachian Outlaws.” While cuttin’ up with Tiny, folks could sample the new fl avor along with tastes of Mellomoon Original, Peach, Coconut, Caramel, 150 Proof WhiteLightnin’ and Strawberry.

The moonshine business has been booming since it became legal in Tennessee in 2009. Distribution that Tiny and his sales team thought would take three years to establish in this part of the country took less than three months. Looking at his his-tory, one could say that Tiny pretty much “sailed” into this line of work.

“My fi rst experience with

B Ci d T l

distilling was in the Navy running the ship’s evapo-rators to distill fresh water from salt water,” he said. “Out of the Navy I went to school and got a degree in industrial engineering, worked in a lab and then discovered my life’s calling.”

There is no suit and tie for this engineer, who pre-fers a cloak of sleeveless T-shirt, felt hat with feather, corncob pipe and overalls. Seems like a long voyage from salt water to moon-shine, but he says not so.

He claims to be the runt of the litter, but Tiny, who is well over six feet tall, says he loves to drink and it was getting way too expensive a hobby for a guy his size. Once he discovered that he had a knack for distilling whiskey, it didn’t take much persua-sion from friends to get him

to dive into his own business.The roller-coaster ride, as Tiny

calls it, that became East Tennessee Distillery and Roberson’s Tennes-see Mellomoon (Fine Tennessee Sippin’ Shine) blossomed into a thriving business in less than two years. The company is located, not hidden, in the hills of Piney Flats, Tenn., and distributes from there. Info: www.mellomoon.com or 423-391-0383.

Even if you love the taste, you might not want to know what Tiny says goes into making the distinct fl avors – although he often speaks tongue-in-cheek.

“You know moonshine really is pretty much anything that the government doesn’t have defi ned as a class,” said Tiny. “I’ve heard tell of peo-ple putting roosters and chickens in there.” He grinned.

“It is classifi ed as spirits by the government, but most important, moonshine is an American tradition.”

Kathy Burrow

with Kathy Burrow

Coffee Break

Kathy Burrow got to know East Tennessee when she came to study at Maryville College, so when she and her husband, Norvell, a native Virginian, were thinking about retiring and leaving California, it wasn’t a strain to decide where to go.

“We moved here the day I retired,” says Burrow of their move nine years ago. “We love it.”

Her “retirement” is something of a misnomer. She worked as a high school counselor for 22 years in Virginia and 15 years in California, and now she spends most of her time volunteering, primarily with the Farragut Lions and Turkey Creek Medical Center.

She spent eight years volunteering in the medical center’s gift shop.

“In the retail world, it’s great that you get to interact with the people,”

says Burrow. “Most of the people who come in the gift shop are in the hospital for a reason. … They’re having tests done, or a loved one’s in the hospital. We’re right across from maternity, so a lot of them are waiting for babies.”

Burrow can identify on a personal level. “I’m a breast cancer survivor – 11 years, thank you, God – and my sur-geon in California was Dr. Aaron Margulies. Well, Dr. Aaron Margulies now works at Knoxville Comprehensive Breast Center, and he operates at Turkey Creek. So when I was in the gift shop and people came in and their mother or their sister or their daughter or somebody was having surgery, I really did have a bond with those people and could reassure them.

“They could look at me and see that my hair is back and I’m OK. I really do think that was a personal kind of out-reach and support I could provide for those people, espe-cially since we had the same surgeon.”

Now, Burrow does clerical and “gopher” work for Angie Denton, who’s in charge of physicians’ outreach and mar-keting. She’s also president of the medical center’s auxiliary.

She’s treasurer for the Farragut Lions; her husband is a board member and past president. They stay busy help-ing with the Lions’ sight programs, including volunteering with the Vision Van once a month, making eyeglasses.

An Army brat who went to 17 schools before entering college, Burrow has a bachelor’s and a master’s but decided

against going for a doctorate. She taught health and physi-cal education for fi ve years before becoming a counselor. Now, the young mind on which she has the biggest impact belongs to her granddaughter, who lives about a mile and a half from her.

“She is the light of my life,” says Burrow.She will meet her goal of visiting all 50 states this sum-

mer when she and her husband travel through Wisconsin on their way to the international Lions Club convention in Toronto. But she’s happy to live here with the four seasons and Southern hospitality.

“The notion of Southern hospitality lives for a reason,” she says. “It’s so true. People in the South are nice and thoughtful and accepting. When you go to the grocery store, you interact with the clerks, unlike in California.”

As for really retiring, she’s in no hurry.“I’m just blessed to have my health and be able bodied.

I look around and I see people struggling to move. I’m just so grateful that I have all my faculties. As long as I have all my physical and mental faculties, I hope I can be involved doing something that’s kind of meaningful.”

Sit back and have a Coffee Break as you get to know Kathy Burrow.

What is your favorite quote from TV or a movie?“Th-th-that’s all, folks!” Doesn’t that just sum it up?

What are you guilty of?Overscheduling, overcommitting. I want to use all 24

hours of every day!

What is your favorite material possession? My grandmother charm bracelet. My grandchildren’s

names and dates of birth dangle there as a constant re-minder of their special place in my life and in my heart.

What are you reading currently?I just fi nished reading Richard Rohr’s “Falling Up-

ward,” about spirituality in the second half of life. I have just begun a light novel by Kate Jacobs, “Knit One.”

What was your most embarrassing moment? When I was 16, I got my fi rst job. I reported to work

the next day ... to the wrong place ... yet insisted to the ladies working there that I had been hired and worked a whole shift. When I got home, my REAL new boss had called and asked if I was coming to work. Oh, gosh! I never wanted to go back to that other store ever again!

What are the top three things on your bucket list? Seeing the tulips in bloom in Holland. Returning to Par-

is. Touring Wisconsin to complete my visit of all 50 states.

What is one word others often use to describe you and why?

Effi cient ... I really can juggle a lot of balls at one time and get all of it done in pretty fair fashion. Honestly, I couldn’t do what I do if it were not for my husband, who is always right there to lend a hand.

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

My nose. I have always wanted a perky, cute nose.

Alas! I have my mother’s nose.

What is your passion? Volunteering. I am active in the Farragut Lions Club,

at St. John’s Episcopal Cathedral, and in the auxiliary at Turkey Creek Medical Center. I also volunteer at Maryville College.

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

Retired Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor. She has long been my “hero” – such a bright, forward-thinking woman.

Other than your parents, who has had the biggest infl u-ence on your life and why?

My maternal grandmother, who took me traveling in the United States and in Europe, who loved me unques-tioningly and who reminded me often, “Position in life is everything” when I fl ung my legs over the arm of the chair or sat in an unladylike way. It took a long time for me to get the double entendre.

I still can’t quite get the hang of … Riding a unicycle. I spent hours trying but just could

not balance and ride!

What is the best present you ever received in a box?My fi rst record player when I was 5 years old! I still

have my 78 records from the “record of the month club.”

What is the best advice your mother ever gave you?Never, no never, leave this house with a pin in your

straps! You never know when you might be in an accident.

What is your social media of choice? I use Facebook but am, frankly, tired of the cute pet

postings. I love texting – quick, concise, effi cient.

What is the worst job you have ever had?For one miserable day, I trained to be an inventory

taker! Omigosh!!! My head ached and I was miserable! Thankfully, my principal called the next day and said they needed me to work all summer … and I did!

What was your favorite Saturday morning cartoon and why?

Tom and Jerry. What fun they had outsmarting one an-other and frolicking all over the house! I laughed and laughed.

What irritates you?Parents who do not answer their children when the

child repeatedly says, “Mommy, Mommy, Mommy?”

What is your greatest fear?I am afraid of the dark. I have been all my life … and

I thank my older sister for getting great delight out of scaring me when we were children.

If you could do one impulsive thing, what would it be?Get up in the morning, throw a few things in a bag,

grab my husband by the hand and go. I don’t care where, just go, go, go!

It can be your neighbor, club leader, bridge partner, boss, teacher – anyone you

NEWS FROM GRACE CHRISTIAN ACADEMY OF KNOXVILLE

Grace students investin community

Grace Junior Kindergartners Madison Sproles, Claire Campbell, Aubrianna Tajen and Kristen Woolman with residents

of The Willows Retirement Community in Karns.

By Julie PointerRecess is the highlight of any

student’s day. It is a time when students can take a break from all of the academic work they have been doing in the class-room. But learning does not stop during recess; it is instead a time when students practice taking turns and sharing, fol-lowing rules for an organized game, learning how to negoti-ate what will be played among friends, and how to interact with others. Free play time is a valuable part of any student’s

day and we are excited to have a new playground where students have a safe environment to play.

Our students and school have been blessed by the in-vestment that our parents, family members, friends and community members have made through GCA’s Friends and Family campaign this year. We have already seen one of the planned projects become a reality with our lower school playground.

In January, a ribbon cut-ting ceremony was held, and all

Investing is putting money to use through a purchase or giving of one’s time or talent to accomplish a specifi c purpose. At Grace Christian Academy, our students are investing their time and resources in others. Teaching our students to ac-tively invest in others is an es-sential component in fulfi lling GCA’s mission to Lead, Build & Equip students. During this school year we have seen stu-dents investing in real and practical ways.

One of GCA’s core values is service, and our goal is to help develop students who are inten-tional about the mission of Jesus Christ, which was to serve oth-ers. Our lower school students, through their homeroom class-es, have all had the opportunity to experience what investing in our community looks like.

Our youngest students in Ju-nior Kindergarten are actively engaged in serving at The Wil-lows Retirement Community in Karns. The students prepared crafts and songs that they shared with the residents when they visited them.

Kindergarten students ad-opted the Karns Volunteer Fire Department. They collected hy-giene items as a gift for the fi re-fi ghters who faithfully serve us. Students had the opportunity to visit the fi re station, where they met the men and women who serve our community. The most important part of the visit was that the students prayed over the fi refi ghters and their equipment.

Fifth grade students and teachers have developed a part-nership where they are able to work with the Lonsdale 5th grade teachers and students. Our 5th graders learned of a need the Lonsdale students had for luggage as both groups pre-pare for their Safety Patrol trip to Washington, D.C., at the end of May. Our students and fami-lies stepped up in a big way and provided more than 80 bags. They were able to personally de-liver the bags to the 5th graders from Lonsdale when they came to GCA, spent the afternoon and enjoyed the performance of “Peter Pan.” Our students loved the time they had to spend with their peers from Lonsdale as they ate lunch and play some games before the production.

The 8th grade students at Grace Christian Acad-emy found a way to invest in the future of GCA 2nd graders by providing writ-ing support for every child one day a week. Ev-ery Wednesday, students share ex-periences writing together. Their time together makes a big dif-ference to the writing progress for all children involved and is a big part of the “family feel” at Grace Christian Academy.

One 2nd grader wrote in her buddy journal, “It was fun writ-ing with you. I wonder what we will do next time. Whatever it is, I know it will be fun!” This experience leaves the children feeling positive and motivated because they have a positive role model investing in them and celebrating with them ev-ery accomplishment.

It is often the case that stu-dent leaders in the high school are viewed by lower school stu-

dents as an example to emulate. High school cheerleaders are no exception to this. In order to provide an opportunity to invest in the lives of our lower school girls, the high school cheerleaders hold two cheer camps each year. Throughout each camp they learn a routine which is performed at halftime of either a varsity football or basketball game. The value of this investment is clearly dem-onstrated through the excite-ment on the young girls’ faces as they head to camp and as they are performing.

Several of our sports teams this year have taken a morning

and gotten up extra early to greet our lower and middle school students as they arrive at school. The younger students’ faces beam with radiant smiles as they receive a high fi ve from a high school athlete. This men-toring relationship between our high school and lower school students is the type of invest-ment we seek to foster.

We all choose daily how we will invest our time and re-sources. Our desire at GCA is to be intentional at all levels to provide students opportunities to invest in the lives of others, whether within our own school or with the community.

parents were invited to join the student body as we dedicated the new space to God before the students began to use the space.

This new playground features a turf surface, and as one student said “I like the turf because we can still play on it after it rains.”

There are four distinct areas where students can play: an open fi eld area, swings, playground equipment and an asphalt bas-ketball court. This entire space is fully utilized daily by the lower school students, and the return on investment for our stu-dents has already been realized through how many additional days our students can be outside enjoying the fresh air and having a safer place to run and play.

From all of the lower school students at GCA, thank you to everyone who invested their time and resources during the Friends and Family cam-paign to make this playground a reality.

that’s being tested in the emergency department at Parkwest.

Lucas CPR device off ers better chance for survivalSudden cardiac arrest claims

a life every two minutes. Quick and correct action can very lit-erally mean the difference be-tween life and death.

Most people are familiar with cardio pulmonary resuscitation (CPR), but you might not know that CPR has limits when it comes to its ability to save lives. The majority of people who suf-fer massive heart attacks out-side a hospital have little chance for survival.

The problem is that continu-ous coronary perfusion pres-sure (CPP) during CPR is one of the most important variables associated with the likelihood of getting and keeping a pulse. CPP is the pressure that keeps the blood f low going during car-diac arrest.

While CPR is a great tool, continuous coronary perfusion pressure is hard to achieve with it. First, there’s the potential for fatigue. It’s hard for one per-son to perform chest compres-sions nonstop for a very long time. Second, even if someone steps in and takes turns, it can take 12 compressions to get the blood f low back to where it was when you took your hands off the patient’s chest.

A third risk is simple hu-man error. The American Heart Association recommends 100 compressions per minute, achieved by pressing down to a depth of 2 inches. It’s hard for a bystander – even a person who’s had a CPR class – to get it just right every time.

That’s the purpose behind the Lucas CPR device that’s now available at Parkwest Medical Center’s emergency department. “It’s an automatic compression device that can be strapped to a patient’s chest,” explains Dr. Brian Braxton, MD, “to deliver uninterrupted compression.”

“It’s one more piece of cut-ting edge technology I have to give my patients the best care possible,” adds Dr. William Fol-ley, DO.

Braxton first became acquainted with the Lucas device when he worked at a hospital in Houston, Texas. He was impressed by the way it helped increase the odds of survival for car-diac arrest patients.

For Braxton, who is medical director of Parkwest’s emergency depart-ment, finding out it would be available to his patients here in Tennessee was great news. “I was excited,” he says, “because I had seen how it worked.”

The Lucas CPR device is kept zipped up in a portable contain-er that’s about twice the size of a bowling ball case. “It’s a heavy plastic mechanical device with a board that slides under the patient,” Braxton explains as he pulls the pieces out of the con-tainer and begins to assemble them. “A plunger is attached, and it controls the depth of

compression and recoil.”Braxton says that recoil from

the chest is important in main-taining continuous coronary

perfusion pressure. With the Lucas CPR device, there’s no need for guesswork, no room for human error and no cause for fatigue.

A small plastic board rests behind the patient’s back. The plunger is attached to a second piece that arcs over the top of the patient. The patient holds onto the sides of the device, buttons are pressed, and chest compressions begin automati-cally and for as long as the doc-tor deems necessary.

“The Lucas CPR device has been a positive addition to our

THE NEW CPRIn 2010, the American

Heart Association changed its recommended method for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in most patients.

1. Perform chest presses before anything else.

2. For adult patients, press 2 inches deep

3. Press the chest at a rate of 100 times per minute.

FUN FACTNeed some help fi guring out how quickly

ED by amplifying our work force,” says the department’s assistant medical director, Rodd Daigle, MD. “It allows

constant, consistent and effective chest compres-sions to be delivered to our patient, while at the same time freeing up an ED team member to carry out other duties, such as starting IVs or obtaining blood.”

Rural/Metro ambu-lance service has the Lucas CPR device too,

and Braxton says when patients are started on it from the time help arrives outside till the time

way of doing CPR – which in-volved first tilting the head, andthen clearing the airway for res-cue breaths – delayed the CPPby an average of 30 seconds,and those first 30 seconds areimportant.

The AHA recommends thatbystanders who perform CPRnot even take the time for res-cue breaths and focus solelyon chest compressions instead.That gives you an idea of howimportant the Lucas CPR deviceis in the effort to save lives.

“I would say it means great-er hope for patients,” Braxtonsays. “It’s cutting edge and it’sthe best product out there avail-able in major cities.”

“Parkwest gives me the besttools, so I can give my patientsthe best care,” says Folley.

In 2010, the American Heart Association changed its guide-lines for CPR, encouraging chest compressions first and foremost in patients who are suffering cardiac arrest. That coronary perfusion pressure is the first priority now, and the Lucas CPR device delivers.

Spring azure, mourn-ing cloak, eastern comma, clouded sulphur. There are some really neat things out there announcing the arriv-al of spring, besides fl owers and birds. Butterfl ies, for example.

Dr. Bob Collier

What’s flying around at your place?For one thing, they are

often out and about in the middle of the day, when the birding gets slow. And you’re out there with your binoculars in your hand anyway. Binoculars are a real help, bring-ing the butter-fl ies up close while you re-main far enough away to avoid spooking them (at least some-times). There are about the same number of North American butterfl y species as there are spe-cies of birds, and the but-terfl ies can prove to be even more of a challenge to see well and to learn.

The little spring azures, a little over half an inch long, may be one of our earliest signs of spring. Widespread and common across the United States, they begin to fl y as early as February in our area. They are a nice pale blue above; light blue-gray with little spots below. Their close relative, the eastern tailed blue, another little early blue butterfl y, is similar to the azure but with little tails and orange spots on its hind wings.

The mourning cloaks are beautiful and interesting. They are easy to recognize – larger and slower, with a rich brown color and sport-ing a clear yellow border along their trailing edge. These guys are among the longest-lived of all our but-terfl ies, living as long as 10 months (many species live only a few weeks).

The mourning cloaks hatch out in the summer

and are adult butterfl ies in the fall. Unusual for butterfl ies, they hibernate over the winter as adults and so are ready to fl y again as soon as the temperatures approach the 60-degree mark, even if it is still winter.

Eastern commas are a little harder – they are strong, fast fl i-ers that often land on tree trunks. Above they are orange with a bunch of brown spots, but alighted with their wings folded to show only their undersides, their brown-patterned, ir-regularly shaped wings look exactly like a dead leaf. You’ve probably mis-taken one for a leaf on more than one occasion. The comma and its nearly iden-tical fi rst cousin, the ques-tion mark, get their names from a tiny silver comma

or question mark on the un-derside of their back wings.

One of our most wide-spread groups of butterfl ies, the sulphurs, have lots of species in their family, but the most likely ones around these parts beginning in March are the clouded sul-phur and the cloudless sul-phur. They are both yellow, medium-sized butterfl ies of fi eld and meadow, and differ in slight amounts of color in their forewings. Their cat-erpillars like to eat clover and alfalfa, so as farming increases in a given area, so do the numbers of sulphurs.

Male sulphurs are all yel-low, but some of the females of these two species are yel-low and some white. So, if

The above-named four critters are some of our earliest butterfl ies. In fact, some of them fl y so early in the year that they show up while it is still winter!

We often think of butter-fl ies as the big fl ashy swal-lowtails and monarchs of summer fi elds and mead-ows rather than one of our fi rst hopeful signs of spring. But here they are, often fl y-ing before even the fi rst wildfl ower peeks out from under the leaves, and long before the fi rst migrant bird fi nds its way back to East Tennessee.

I’ve seen all four of the above-mentioned butter-fl ies fl itting around my yard at various times over the past three or four weeks. It continues to be a pleasant surprise to be grumping my way to the mailbox bundled up in my old warm coat and see a bright blue or yellow butterfl y fl apping merrily along as if to say, “What’s your problem, buddy?”

Butterfl ies are fun, and a lot of birders are developing into butterfl y enthusiasts, too. They are a nice addition to any birding outing.

you see a yellow but-terfl y out in your fi eld fl ying around courting a white butterfl y, be reassured – they know what they’re doing; ev-

erything’s OK.Watching butterfl ies

is like watching birds or stalking wildfl owers – it can be an addictive pastime. For pure visual enjoyment, there are the different spe-cies of swallowtails and frit-illaries. For making friends, there are the confi ding and easy-to-observe buckeyes and hackberries. And if you want challenge and intense study, there are species like the dreaded skippers – doz-ens of species of skittish, fast-moving lookalikes that can send you to your fi eld guide shaking your head.

There are numerous good books to help you learn about our butterfl ies. Two that I have found to be very useful, out of many, are the “Stokes’ Butterfl y Book” and Ken Kaufman’s “Field Guide to the Butterfl ies of Eastern North America.”

Rejoice, spring is here! Enjoy the fl owers an d the birds. And check out the butterfl ies. Now is a good time to begin looking for

them, when there aren’t so many different ones out and about. Then, as the sea-son comes along, you will already be familiar with a bunch of them.

A word in regard to the birds: We here in Knoxville have a top-notch birding site in Sharp’s Ridge Park, a widely known spring mi-grant trap.

Again this year, folks from the Knoxville Bird Club – properly known as the Knoxville Chapter of the Tennessee Ornithologi-cal Society – will be doing spring bird walks up there. The walks will be on the last three Thursdays of April and the fi rst Thursday of May.

We start at 8 a.m. at the old ranger’s house about halfway down the drive; there is plenty of parking. There will be all skill levels of birders there. The ex-perts especially welcome beginners and will try to show them good looks at the birds.

All that’s required is a set of binoculars – they are necessary if you want to actually see what’s fl ying around up there. Join us for a pleasant hour or two!
