Phillip and Louise Lim, owners of Asia Café North and Asia Café West, have con-tracted with Sandy Loy at Construc-tion Plus to build a new restaurant at 1708 North Calla-han Drive near the Jubilee Banquet Facility.

The proposed 12,270-square-foot building will include a Hibachi grill, state-of-the-art kitchen with ample prep and storage rooms, a karaoke bar, spacious front and rear patios, a sushi bar and separate din-ing facilities for Western-style foods (steaks and potatoes), Mexican, Italian and Asian dining, along with a 192-square-foot dance fl oor.

Phillip Lim said that the time has come for this expansion. Asia

Café will leave its current location at the corner of 6714-B North Cen-tral Avenue by July 2015.

“Louise and I are truly excit-ed,” he said. “This is something we have been dreaming about for quite a while. We have enjoyed the planning process. It is awesome to see our ideas come to life. We are doing everything we can to make our new building beautiful as well as environmentally friendly. We

have already been working with TVA for help with solar energy.”

The plans were drawn by Ben-jamin Conway Garlington, Archi-tect & Associates of Knoxville.

Lim said that the New Asia Café will require more employees. He is always on the lookout for good cooks who know how to prepare authentic Malaysian, Japanese/sushi, Thai, Vietnamese and Chi-nese dishes.

Leland retired two weeks ago, 45 years of teaching experience at Central High School walked out the door with them.

“I kept asking Stan, ‘Are we re-ally old enough to be doing this?’ ” said Leland, who taught art at Central for 20 years and directed her students in creating high-pro-fi le art projects like the huge ban-ners hanging in the school com-mons and other areas.

“In my mind, I just thought this was a chance to expose kids who had never had a chance to expe-rience the visual arts to the great artists. Later, I started another project to do framed pictures in the hallways. I hope someone con-tinues it,” Leland said.

“Most of the time, you just know when it’s time,” said Kelly, who spent 25 years teaching history and was one of a dwindling handful of educators left there who were also Central High School alumni. And he says he worked at Central much longer than his teaching tenure.

tirement of teachers Stan Kelly and Peggy Leland. Leland’s art students pro-

Educators bow out early; cite ‘attack on teachers’

“While I was at UT, Mr. (Dan) Boring let me work as a janitor here, and after that Mr. (Rex) Stooksbury. Then I was a student teacher here and came here for my fi rst and only teaching job. It all adds up to about 37 years,” Kelly said.

His father, the late Cecil Kelly, spent many years as principal of Fountain City Elementary School and was later a member of the school board. His mother, Polly, was a kindergarten teacher.

“We saw a young man at church

yesterday; Mama had him in kin-dergarten, Dad had him in ele-mentary school and I had him at Central. It’s that community con-nection,” Kelly said.

Leland nodded.“That’s what I have loved so

much about Central,” said Leland, who grew up in Oak Ridge, where everybody was from somewhere else. “There just wasn’t that long-term connection.”

Kelly is 60, Leland 62. They don’t seem tired. Kelly’s going to do a lot of hiking and kayaking this summer and enjoy the luxury of fall travel, for the fi rst time. Leland is going to spend the summer working in her studio and traveling to Italy and will start a part-time job in the fall.

So why are they leaving early?“I do not believe in a lot of

things that are being done – the overly zealous emphasis on data, on test scores – it is an outright at-tack on teachers,” Leland said.

er. Just ask any of his current or for-mer students at Powell High School. They describe the man as mentor, in-spiring, life-changing, dedicated and of course, hairy. Now they can add one more descriptor – movie star.

Kennedy has been the choral teacher at PHS for 24 years. For the

past year he has been shadowed by the Hinckley brothers – former stu-dents, musicians and fi lmmakers – Derek, Nathan and Spencer. Kenne-dy thought they were documenting The Powell High Singers, but they were secretly compiling an original fi lm about Kennedy.

“It was overwhelming when they showed me the trailer,” said Kenne-

dy. “Turns out it was not so much about the singers as it was about me. The fi lm is fi lled with students from different years speaking about how they remember high school and singing.”

Nathan Hinckley, founder of Milestone Pictures, claims Ken-nedy as the brothers’ inspirational mentor.

“This fi lm is about a man, his passion and his ability to mold lives for the better through mu-sic,” said Hinckley. “If I only had 20 seconds to tell someone about him, I would say that he has af-fected generations and will con-tinue to do so.”

After 30 years in the classroom, some wonder why Kennedy isn’t considering retirement.

“When I watch this movie I see myself, but I also see a teacher who knows why he teaches,” said Kennedy. “I can’t think of doing anything else. When asked what I teach at Powell my response is, ‘I teach kids.’ ”

“Hands in the Air” premiered at the Bijou Theatre May 20 to a full house. Tickets were $10 with 10 per-cent of the proceeds donated back to the Powell High choral department.

The Hinckleys will enter the documentary in upcoming festi-vals. To see the trailer and clips from the movie and to follow the fi lm’s progress go to www.handsintheairmovie.com/.

NEWS FROM PARKWEST, WEST KNOXVILLE’S HEALTHCARE LEADER • TREATEDWELL.COM • 374-PARK

health & lifestyles

Parkwest’s anesthesia dream team, Dr. Mitch Dickson and Dr. Jeff Fuqua.

While you were out …Anesthesia team watched every heartbeat, every breath

They’re the doctors you never met, the nurses you didn’t see. They’re the ones who lulled you to sleep without ever singing a lullaby, the ones who enabled you to gently awaken right on time.

They are Parkwest Medical Center’s an-esthesia team, an elite group of 10 anesthe-siologists and 45 anesthetists who, like an army of guardian angels, watch over you as you sleep peacefully through anything from an appendectomy to neurosurgery.

You may think you’ve never met them. More likely, however, the anesthesia just wiped them from your memory.

“We say that it’s a good thing if your patient doesn’t remember you, because that means everything went well,” says Dr. Jeff Fuqua, an affable Tennessee native who chairs the hos-pital’s anesthesiology department.

Not so in labor and delivery, however. There, Fuqua says, the mothers are more concerned about the epidural than child-birth. But when they discover the IV was the most painful part of it, they are quick to re-call the kind doctor or nurse who eased their labor pain. “Now, those women,” he says with a laugh, “are grateful!”

Last year, Parkwest anesthesiologists and anesthetists worked 14,200 cases, including about 500 heart surgeries and countless general; orthopedic; neuro; and ear, nose and throat surgeries.

When it’s time for your colonoscopy, they’re there. When you need a breathing tube, they’re there. When you’re uncon-scious and lying on the operating table, they’re seated inches away behind the drape above your head as they keep close watch over your heart rate, breathing, blood pres-sure and other critical functions.

“The whole time they (patients) are asleep we are monitoring, monitoring,” says Dr. Mitch Dickson, who has also served as Parkwest’s chief of staff and is a member of Covenant Health’s Board of Directors. “Monitoring their oxygen level, their EKG, their blood pressure, the gasses they are breathing in and out. We measure brain waves to determine the depth of anesthe-

sia. We’re doing all those things while the surgeon is working.

“Keep in mind, too, that the surgeon has more patients waiting,” Dickson adds. “So we need to do an anesthetic in a way that will wake patients up in a timely fashion. Obviously, if it takes three hours for them to wake up, the surgeon is not going to do another case in that operating room.”

It’s a challenging task that requires much training and skill. Even so, it is one of those medical procedures often taken for granted.

“It’s fun to watch surgery, but if you came back and watched me do anesthesia, you would be bored stiff,” says Fuqua. “Watching anesthesia is just boring! But when you are the one who’s got to get that tube in, the one who’s got to keep that patient alive but still and un-conscious, it’s a totally different thing.”

Yet, the critical role anesthesia profes-sionals play in healthcare is seldom seen or understood by the patients they serve.

“Every patient thoroughly researches the surgeon when they need surgery, but no one looks into who is sedating them,” said Rick Lassiter, Parkwest’s chief administra-tive offi cer. “These are very skilled but of-ten overlooked medical professionals who deserve recognition for the complex work they do.”

It is the anesthesiologist who “holds the trump card” before surgery begins. Having formulated an anesthesia plan in advance of the surgery based on height, weight, age and a host of other factors, the anesthesiol-ogist is well-versed in the patient’s medical history although he or she may have never met the patient.

“We are the patient’s last medical clear-ance before proceeding with surgery,” says Dickson. “If we see any concern about their medical history – or if they’re having chest pain the surgeon didn’t know about – we’re the ones who would prevent them from go-ing ahead with the surgery.”

The “art and science” of anesthesia, as Fuqua calls it, is more than “putting a per-son to sleep.”

“We’re responsible for taking care of pa-tients in the recovery room; we do epidur-als for labor and delivery. Any time there isa diffi cult intubation or a procedure wheresomebody needs an airway on the fl oor –typically in the intensive care unit – we’recalled,” says Dickson. “We’re called for se-dation in the GI Lab. We do sedation in theemergency room. We have different rolesall over the hospital.”

“Anywhere that needs deep sedation or general anesthesia, we’re involved,” Fuquasays.

With more than 14,000 cases a year, it isn’t surprising that a culture of teamworkhas prevailed between anesthesiologistsand anesthetists at Parkwest.

“They’re critical. They allow us to coverall the surgeries here that need to be done.They’re our ‘extenders,’ ” says Fuqua, not-ing that the anesthetists, who are advancedpractice nurses most often referred to asCRNAs (Certifi ed Registered Nurse Anes-thetist), actually handle “98 to 99 percent”of the cases while working under the super-vision of the anesthesiologists (or MDAs –Medical Doctor-Anesthesia).

“We work together,” says Dickson. “We function as a team, and they enable us to doour job better and more effi ciently becauseof their expertise.”

Fuqua said he feels “fortunate” to have such a competent group of anesthetists.

“I know I can trust them on a routinecase,” he says. “I know they’ll be diligentabout it, and that they’ll call me if they needto. In anesthesia, that is a key.”

It’s the kind of confi dence that helps ev-eryone sleep well.

“In anesthesia, you don’t get a pat on the back every day from your patients saying,‘you did a great job,’ ” says Fuqua. “Theyare asleep so they don’t know. So when youleave at the end of the day, you have to knowyou did a good job. You know if you’ve donewell. That’s your gratifi cation.”

From ‘takeoff to landing,’ anesthesia gets you there safelyDr. Jeff Fuqua says the work of the

anesthesiologist is much like that of a pilot for an airline.

“If you think about it, there are a lot of similarities between anesthesia and airline fl ying,” says Fuqua, an anesthe-siologist at Parkwest Medical Center. “You get on a plane and give control to that pilot, trusting that he’s going to take that plane up safely and get you to where you are going. We’re kind of the same way – we have the takeoff, we have the landing. You are putting your life in my hands and I take that seriously. That’s important to you, your kids, your family. Every patient is a person with loved ones who want to see them come back safely.”

Yet, just as there are passengers with a fear of fl ying, there are also patients with a fear of anesthesia.

“Most people don’t realize how safe an-esthesia is now. Years ago, the American Society of Anesthesiologists launched some safety initiatives that have really helped, and our safety data have been tremendous over the years,” says Dr. Mitch Dickson, Parkwest anesthesiologist. “Now, anesthe-sia is one of the safer medical procedures you can have.”

Fuqua concurs that the ASA’s initiatives have “taken safety to a whole new level.” Furthermore, he says, technological inno-

vations in monitoring equipment such as the capnograph which measures the CO2 a patient exhales, the pulse oximeter which measures oxygen levels and pulse, and the introduction of the sleep drug propofol have “revolutionized” anesthesia safety.

“When I was in residency in the early 1990s, the chance of a major catastrophic event was 1 in 10,000. Those are pretty good numbers,” Fuqua says. “Recent num-bers say it’s 1 in 250,000. That’s how much safer it’s gotten in 20-25 years. When I think about people in the 1970s doing an-esthesia without having those monitors I have now, it scares me to death. Of course at that time, you didn’t have them and you did the best you could do with what you had.”

Patients are encouraged to talk with the anesthesiologist or anesthe-tist about any concerns.

“Tell them if you’ve had any prob-lems with nausea or vomiting in the past, tell them if you have had any complications with your previous an-esthetic history or if any member of your family has had any signifi cant problem with anesthesia,” advises Dickson. “Everybody has different anesthetic tolerances – some have lower tolerances and some have high-er tolerances. All those things are im-portant to know.”

“I think it’s good to know who is provid-ing your care,” adds Fuqua. “Is this person a physician or a CRNA? It’s good to know what kind of relationship is there. But mostly, a person should talk about any con-cerns they have.

“What I think patients really need to know is: What’s going to be done to me? Are you doing regional anesthesia or gen-eral? Then, is there anything you are par-ticularly worried about? For instance, if I’m a smoker and have COPD, I’m going to be worried about that as an anesthesiologist. So it’s good to know what your concerns are going in. You want to know the type of an-esthesia and then have trust that they are going to do fi ne.”

“A couple of years ago, I was teaching an economics course that is required for graduation. I was asked to turn in the names of kids in danger of failing, and I gave them the name of one boy who never got above a 40 on a test.

“Two weeks later, he walked across the stage and graduated.”

But much as they disagree with today’s test-and-assess business model, they don’t regret their career choice.

Satire alert!Knox County Mayor

Tim Burchett’s embrace of the legendary Bigfoot has sparked a rivalry with his city counterpart, Knoxville Mayor Madeline Rogero.

If there was any doubt that Mayor Rogero is seeking reelection, it ended with invitations being sent out for a $250 suggested donation for a fundraiser on Wednes-day, June 11, at the Kingston Pike home of former Rogero deputy Eddie Mannis.

Ivan Harmon considers race for mayor

The event has a 70-per-son host committee of both Democrats and Republi-cans. It is an impressive group, although it does include several persons who do business with the city. Light hors d’oeuvres and wine will be served, accord-ing to the invitation. All current council members have been invited by Man-nis via email to be guests at the event (meaning they do not ha ve to pay).

Mannis, who owns Pres-tige Cleaners, recently re-placed the roof on his house after living downtown, sell-ing his condo to TVA CEO Bill Johnson and moving back to his West Knox-ville home. His showcase gardens have been open to the public several times. Mannis hosted a fundraiser for Rogero in 2011.

It is smart politics by Rogero to hold such an event 15 months ahead of the September 2015 mayoral primary. It shows her inten-tions to seek a second and fi nal term (not that there was any doubt). It allows her to showcase broad-based support for her candidacy through her host committee and thus encourage some credible rivals who may want to be mayor to defer their plans until 2019. It also replenishes her cam-paign bank account and lets people know she will be well funded.

At present she does not have an announced opponent although former county commissioner, city school board member and city council member Ivan Harmon has said he is considering it. Harmon was an unsuccessful mayoral candidate in 1995 and 2011. He did not make the runoff between Rogero and Mark Padgett in 2011. He says, “I am not going to let her run unopposed. I will decide by August or September. I am in good health.”

No incumbent mayor or council member has lost reelection to a second term since term limits were im-posed. Assuming Rogero’s

reelection, the open seat for mayor in 2019 will likely draw several serious candi-dates including more than one now serving on City Council. All City Council candidates running in 2017 and 2019 will be new as no current council member will be eligible to run in those years.

■ House Speaker John Boehner, who is third in line to the presi-dency after the president and vice president, was in Knoxville May 24 as the main guest for U.S. Rep. Jimmy Duncan’s fund-raiser at the Pete and Cindi DeBusk home on Cunning-ham Road. Afterward, he and Duncan had dinner at the popular family-owned Litton’s in Fountain City, where he had one of Knox-ville’s best hamburgers. They ate in the back of the restaurant, so most patrons did not realize Boehner was there.

■ The UT proposal for the historic Williams House on Lyons View Pike to be leased for a 50- or 99-year period may be the best possible outcome in terms of saving the house. The signifi cant sticking point will be fi nding a person or persons willing to spend $3 million-plus to renovate the Staub-designed house plus the UT Board of Trustees signing off on it. Not many people fi t that profi le.

After spending that large a sum, are they willing for it to revert to the University at some future point? Good news is that there is posi-tive movement to rescue the house from neglect. But this story is far from being concluded.

■ City Council mem-ber Marshall Stair is moving to North Knoxville in a few months to a home he is purchasing on East Anderson Avenue. Stair currently lives downtown on Market Street. His new home is a 1900 Colonial that labor from the neighborhood has helped restore, according to the sign in the front yard. More can be found on it at www.facebook.com/theAn-dersonProject.ONK, which clearly shows how much hard labor went into rescu-ing this house. His purchase and occupancy of the house show strong personal com-mitment to historic preser-vation and neighborhood revitalization.

As an at-large member Stair is not required to live in any particular district. The other at-large mem-bers live in West Knox. All three are up for reelection in 2015, along with council member Mark Campen.

Bigfoot and Yeti and mayors, oh my!

“I proclaim June 2 Yeti Day in Knoxville,” Rogero recently announced. “We don’t need no stinkin’ Big-foot in our fair city.”

“That’s a danged politi-cal maneuver,” Burchett re-sponded, “trying to distract city folks from the tax in-crease. Besides, everybody knows Bigfoot would make spaghetti of the Yeti.”

Rogero disagrees, and says she is personally lead-ing the hunt for the Yeti in downtown Knoxville.

“I thought I spotted it on the sixth fl oor of the City

County Building yesterday,” Rogero said, “but it was just Burchett’s communica-tions guy, Michael Grider.” Rogero later apologized for bashing Grider with the Louisville Slugger she uses for the annual City-County softball game.

Not to be outdone, Bur-chett has been trolling countywide for Bigfoot with his Nikon camera.

“Thought I had the ras-cal cornered last Thursday evening outside Wright’s Cafeteria,” Burchett said. “I want to say publicly how sorry I am for smashing Michael Grider in the head with my tripod. Get well soon, Big Sexy!”

Interest in the Bigfoot-Yeti rivalry has spread be-yond the mayors’ offi ces.

“I smell opportunity,” said Knox County Commis-sioner Amy Broyles. “Tour-ist dollars could make up for the property-tax increase we didn’t get – again.”

Broyles says she will bring resolutions before County Commission and City Coun-

cil proposing the purchase of specially equipped patrol cars to be manned 24/7 by sheriff’s deputies and city police offi cers.

“I’m volunteering to ride shotgun,” Broyles said. “And when the Safety Center is completed we’ll have the perfect place to house and display the critters.”

Other commissioners ex-pressed support for Broyles’ idea.

Richard Briggs, who will claim the local record for most honorifi cs if elected to the state Senate this fall, sees merit in the proposal.

“Can I fi t Commissioner Colonel Senator-elect Dr. Richard Briggs on a stan-dard business card? Is that the question? Snaring Big-foot or the Yeti will be a snap, by comparison,” Briggs said.

Commissioner Jeff Own-by has also signed on to the Broyles initiative.

“I’m very interested, I guess you’d say bi-curious, about both those big fel-lows,” Ownby said.

In Nashville, even Gov.

Bill Haslam is taking notes.“If the electric chair is

cruel and inhuman, how about a date with old Big-foot for condemned prison-ers?” Haslam mused. “Put ’em in a steel cage, let ’em rassle, invite the public, closed-circuit television, the works!” the governor crowed before being nudged away by several aides.

Out west, Farragut May-or Ralph McGill took little note of the Burchett-Rogero contretemps.

“We have very strict codes in Farragut,” McGill said. “Hairy monsters have no place in this town unless they play for the high school football team or guard our liquor taxes.”

Should Bigfoot or the Yeti slip into Farragut, he add-ed, they would be “cited on sight.”

UPDATE: After his re-lease from the hospital, Mi-chael Grider was cited by a Farragut codes-enforcement offi cial who subsequently apologized for the mistake in iden tity.

Last Sunday, state Rep. Gloria Johnson threw her-self a multipurpose birth-day/fundraiser/ ice-cream social in Edgewood Park, near the heart of North Knoxville, which is no lon-ger the geographic heart of the 13th House District.

But it’s where she lives, and it’s where the former chair of the Knox County Democratic Party must win heavily in November if she is to get a second term.

The 13th has been send-ing Democrats to Nashville for more than 50 years, with the exception of the brief tenure of Republican Joe Burchfi eld, who won a special election in 1989 over the widow of the late Ted Ray Miller to serve out the second year of the term vacated by the death of the incumbent. Burchfi eld was promptly defeated in 1990 by Harry Tindell, who re-mained in offi ce until 2012 despite numerous attempts to oust him by candidates with ties to conservative Re-

Expect a battle in the fi ghting 13th

publicans Stacey Campfi eld and Bill Dunn.

Tindell, a fi scal conserva-tive who specialized in gov-ernment fi nances, became an important cog in the power structure of a House dominated by Democrats and was the favorite Demo-crat of a lot of Republicans. Over the years, he survived the gradual GOP takeover of the House unscathed.

The Republican takeover was completed with the wave election of 2010, which gave the GOP the power to redraw House district lines. By 2012, the 13th District had been stretched south and west with the addition of Bonny Kate, Mount Olive and Sequoyah Hills. Pri-vately, Republicans main-tained that it could have been worse, but for their re-

spect for Tindell, who none-theless bowed out in 2012.

Common wisdom was that the Republicans would take the seat, but Johnson, a special-education teach-er fresh off a 2011 run for state Senate that nobody expected her to win against Republican Becky Duncan Massey (she mostly ran be-cause no other Democrat volunteered to take the bayonet in the breadbasket), took the House seat with a strong election-day show-ing in the North Knoxville wards, where demographics skew older and more sym-pathetic to the labor, educa-tion and civil-rights issues that are her strengths.

This year, two Repub-licans will go at it in the primary – the heavily self-fi nanced Jason Emert, a Far-ragut High School graduate and former Blount County resident who moved to Se-quoyah Hills a year ago and has a recently acquired law degree from the University of Miami and a penchant for

shooting himself in the foot, and Eddie Smith, an ar-ranger of church music and Inskip resident who grew up in Alice Bell and is mar-ried to former Miss Tennes-see Lanna Keck and has ties to Bill Dunn (who is now a committee chair and wields power commensurate to that which Tindell enjoyed when his party ruled Capi-tol Hill).

It will be ugly.Smith will be heavily out-

spent by Emert but should win the primary. And the November battle with John-son, who will have the sup-port of a legion of ticked-off teachers, will be epic.

Note: A photo accom-panying last week’s col-umn about a campaign reception for Chancellor Daryl Fansler identified his colleague, Chancellor Mike Moyers, as a Fansler “supporter.” Moyers says he was merely in atten-dance at the reception and the Fansler sticker he was wearing was a nametag.

We shall soon see the difference in football talent and experience.

Beginning on the last Sunday in August and con-tinuing for three months, Tennessee will present a case study for the com-parison of superior athletic ability and jungle warfare survival.

Butch Jones has assem-bled a bright, young cast of highly regarded prospects. Alas, the foundation of his brick-by-brick building program is thin. There just aren’t many Volunteers who have enjoyed learning expe-riences against Southeast-ern Conference foes.

That’s double trouble. There haven’t been many winning games to enjoy, and there are too few seniors.

Talent or experience? Take your pick

Back when freshmen were not allowed to play because of perceived im-maturity and sophomores were considered generally inadequate, the late, great Robert R. Neyland said col-lege teams could expect to lose one game for each un-derclassman in the starting lineup.

Thankfully that philoso-phy is no longer applicable. There aren’t enough games.

Now is an OK time to guess which Tennessee

freshmen might be in the opening lineup against Utah State. Offensive tack-le Coleman Thomas, tight end Ethen Wolf and corner Emmanuel Moseley are best bets. Wide receiver Josh Malone appears ready enough. Tailback Jalen Hurd is not far behind. At least two incoming missiles will try to take a safety spot. A rookie could become a starting linebacker. I sup-pose it is possible that a freshman could be a defen-sive tackle. Another rookie might emerge as kicker.

Sophomores? They are everywhere. Neyland would shudder.

In trying to compare the values of talent and experi-ence, consider this: Coaches can intensify practice to a

level that is somewhat simi-lar to “experience.” There is no way to fake talent. You are or are not athletic. You can or can’t run fast. Reaction time is excellent or less. You can jump or you can’t. OK, that doesn’t matter as much if you are a big, strong lineman.

Talent can be enhanced with improved technique, but it is really hard to teach speed.

Coach Jones knew what he was getting into when he took the Tennessee job. As soon as he analyzed the roster, he saw that his sec-ond season would likely be more challenging than his fi rst. He inherited experi-enced linemen on both sides of the ball, but they would soon be gone. He couldn’t be sure that Tiny would go

but he did.I remember when the

coach said: “I knew right away that we were in trou-ble in Year 2 in terms of depth and experience. We had to make a commitment in recruiting.”

Did they ever! Butch and his people recruited one of the fi nest classes in the country. As is almost always the case, most new Vols are very young.

The truth is that Jones still doesn’t know what his defense will look like un-til the summer freshmen are integrated into the pro-gram. There is powerful incoming potential among linebackers and defensive backs, but it is too early to forecast what Derek Bar-nett, Dewayne Hendrix,

Charles Mosley and Michael Sawyers can do.

There is evolution to come. Jones says there is no way around playing some rookies in the defensive front.

“That’s just where we are. And, as we know, this is an unforgiving league when it comes to the line of scrim-mage.”

Coaching tip based on many years of observation: If you really must make a choice, take talent over experience. There will be mistakes. There will also be more big plays.

NFL scouts prove that point each spring. They sometimes recommend bas-ketball players.Marvin West invites reader reaction. His

Around these parts, the month of June is about the busiest time of the year, at least in the bird world. All those nice calm birds that spent the winter munching seeds at our feeders have had a big dose of hormones kick in. They’ve been joined by dozens of migrant species like hummingbirds, house wrens, swallows and vireos, jostling for both groceries and housing opportunities.

Dr. Bob Collier

A busy June: Nesting

The neighborhood is full of drama, with such famil-iar characters as super-moms, absentee dads and overworked parents trying to cope with fussy, demand-ing kids. Of course, we’re not talking reality shows here, we’re into actual life in the June bird world.

The name of the game is nesting. The object of the game is to produce as many new baby birds in as short a time as possible. Nesting includes building a place, laying some eggs, sitting on them till they hatch (the pro-cess called incubation by the biologists) and then feeding those hatchlings from dawn to dark till they go from helpless little blobs to inde-pendent, fl ying creatures.

This all takes place in a late-May-to-June frenzy of activity covering two or three weeks and is often followed up with a second round of the same stuff, producing a second, and

sometimes, here in the South, a third brood.

At our house we are pres-ently hosting (or putting up with) nests of Carolina wrens (back porch – they tried hard for the garage), cardinals (crepe myrtle bush just outside my desk window; momma bird gives me a scolding every time I sit at my desk) and phoebes (on a shelf I built for them last year, under my shed-roof overhang). And then the bluebirds and the house wrens are in constant dis-putes over who gets which nest box this year.

The blue jays, instead of being loud and raucous, are skulking around the yard, quietly gathering food, a sure sign of a nest with babies, and the blue-gray gnatcatchers are just fi nish-ing up their fi rst brood and are starting on their second.

Bird nests come in a vast array of shapes and sizes. They range from the tiny hummingbird nest woven from cobwebs and lichens, to the massive hundred-pound-plus pile of sticks constructed by our bald eagles. The artistry ranges from the carefully woven baskets of the orioles and vireos, to the precise, mud-lined cups of the robins, to the half-dozen twigs thrown together by the mourning doves. The killdeers don’t even bother – they just plunk their eggs down on a driveway or in a parking lot somewhere and call it a nest.

After the nests are built and eggs laid, then comes the easy part – incubation. The average length of time to hatching for our smaller songbirds is about 11 days.

Ah, but then – feeding.Bird parents face one

common sight all day long every day – a nest full of big, wide-open, hungry mouths. Baby birds must have pro-tein to develo p properly, and even species that usu-ally eat seeds feed their growing youngsters protein. This means caterpillars, worms, spiders, insects. As many as they can fi nd, con-stantly foraging, day after day. People have watched and counted the feeding trips parents make to their nests, and some number in the hundreds per day.

This is interesting and fun to watch, but think also of the millions of grubs eating your lawn, and caterpillars eating your garden and trees, and gnats and mosquitoes tormenting you, that are gathered each spring and fed to growing birds, that

would otherwise be eating us people out of house and home! There is no way we could ever keep up.

Just like in the average American neighborhood, the arrangements for rearing a family vary from one house-hold to another, only with the birds it’s determined by the species. For example, our good old American robins mostly cooperate in the en-terprise, with the male bird helping the female build her nest, then keeping a watch-ful eye on things while she incubates the eggs for 12 to 14 days. The dad then joins the mom in the monumen-tal task of stuffi ng hundreds of worms and caterpillars into the ever-open hungry mouths till the babies are off the nest and on their way.

The opposite end of that spectrum is the humming-bird family. The male ruby-throated hummingbirds se-

lect a territory each spring that offers good nesting sites and an adequate food sup-ply. A female comes along and chooses a male based upon the quality of terri-tory he oversees. They mate, and then that’s it for the father. Away he goes, and the female then builds the nest, lays the eggs and sits on them, with brief breaks for a bite to eat. When they hatch, super-mom fi nds all the food and feeds the two babies by herself.

What’s really amazing is that she will often mate and start a second nest by herself, while fi nishing up with the fi rst one! Certainly something for the neighbors to watch and talk about over the back fence.

But all this June activity is not just programmed into the birds for our entertain-ment. Mother Nature has worked things out so that on

average, over the years, we will end up with about the same total number of birds each season. And it’s not easy being a baby bird.

Weather such as cold snaps and storms, disease and predators, especially outdoor house cats, wipe out millions each year. Many fi rst-year birds fail to make it back to their nest-ing grounds on that fi rst migration. And so to replace all those losses, plus losing parent birds annually as well, there has to be a good-sized batch of replacement birds each year.

It’s a huge job, and it takes a lot of trips to the nest with your mouth full of worms. But it seems to be a system that’s worked out well through the eons. Just be glad that kids don’t grow that fast. Imagine what jeans and sneakers would cost.


NEWS FROM GRACE CHRISTIAN ACADEMY OF KNOXVILLE

AnticipationAs I was asked to re� ect on

my � rst year at Grace Christian Academy, this is the word that most clearly represents what attracted me to this opportunity and what still inspires me on a daily basis. In all honesty,

this is a word that would have described my perspective in my previous experience at an independent school in South Carolina. We were constantly challenging our current models and working towards consis-tent improvement. We were anticipating that our purpose-ful efforts were going to impact our students as they prepared for their futures. What makes the anticipation that I feel as the high school principal at Grace Christian Academy dif-ferent from my leadership in South Carolina? Why does the

A principal’s perspectiveBy Nathan Stevens, GCA

anticipation that I feel have a palpable intensity that was not present in my previous experi-ence? Grace Christian Acad-emy is pursuing excellence in partnership with families who recognize that learning is founded on truth. This allows us to work diligently and wait with anticipation as God works through us for his purpose.

ExcellenceMany of you may be reading

this and have begun to question how this anticipation based on faith is any different than what other organizations experience. I can only speak from my per-sonal involvement and say that Grace has been blessed with ed-ucators who are willing to chal-lenge our current models for the betterment of the students. As a relatively young school, we have grown consistently since the school was founded in 1997. Just this year we graduated our 10th and largest senior class of 90 students. What I have found in the last year is a group of people who are thankful for the blessings that God has given us but are not satis� ed with the

status quo. It is this pursuit of excellence that has served as a tangible reinforcement of the anticipation that I felt as I tran-sitioned into this community one year ago.

CommunityWhile the commitment to

pursue excellence has been a foundational component of my anticipation, the depth of community has surpassed any of the expectations that I had prior to my arrival on the campus of GCA. Fine arts per-formances, school-wide wor-ship experiences, and athletic events are all more traditional community-building opportu-nities. What sets GCA apart is that this sense of community can be seen clearly through the daily interactions on campus. This community is founded on teachers who have a genuine love for their students and are responding to a call on their life. The most concrete exam-ple of how the Grace commu-nity models rich relationships is through loss. This has been a challenging year for many members of our school as they

have lost loved ones. To see the people of GCA rise up around those who are hurting has been the clearest representation of community that I could have ever experienced.

PartnershipThe pursuit of excellence

and sense of community is bolstered through working in partnership. As a K-12 school we have a unique opportunity to partner together as educa-tors to build a synchronized program which supports students in their development educationally, physically, emotionally and spiritually. My previous experience was a school that had a K-12 structure; it too worked for a synchronized program that supported student develop-ment. The distinction that is present in the Grace Christian Academy experience is the recognition that in order to reach the whole child, we must partner with parents in the spiritual development of their child. Our partnership with parents is a foundational as-pect of the experience at Grace

Christian Academy. We desire to continue to strengthen this partnership throughout the coming years, and we antici-pate that God will bless these efforts as we come alongside families, raising the next gen-eration of servant leaders.

AnticipationMany times what we antici-

pate never comes to fruition. We project how an upcoming opportunity will serve as a panacea in comparison to the challenges we have faced in the past. Although Grace Christian Academy is far from perfect, the anticipation with which I started the year has only been strengthened as I re� ect on my � rst year of ministry here. This anticipation is not because we have created the perfect program of excellence. It is not based solely on the sense of community and partnership with families. This anticipa-tion is founded on the people that God has brought to Grace Christian Academy and how he is going to use us to lead, build, and equip students for their future.

By Danielle Taylor

At Grace Christian Academy we strive to produce athletes who � rst and foremost have an active and growing relation-ship with Jesus Christ, and who can perform at the highest level within the sport in which they participate. This year was no exception as we had six Spring sports represented at a State Tournament or State Championship, with one individual champion and three state runners-up!

GCA sophomore Rhett Elwood earned GCA’s � rst State Championship this year for boys discus. Our baseball and softball teams both earned the Class A State Runners-Up titles after winning both the Region 2A and District 3A Championship games. In girls doubles tennis, junior Lexie Hill and freshman Shelby Rog-ers ended the season with a 19-1 record, Class A-AA State Run-ners-Up, and Region 2A-AA and District 3A Champions.

In addition to their success as Rams, four GCA athletes signed scholarships to play sports at the collegiate level (two in baseball, one in wres-tling and one in swimming).

Researchers estimate that about 20 percent of American women over the age of 50 have osteoporosis. In addition, another 30 percent of them have osteopenia, which is abnormally low bone density that may eventually deteriorate into osteoporosis, if not treated. About half of all women over the age of 50 will suffer a fracture of the hip, wrist, or vertebra.

There are no symptoms in the early stages of osteoporosis. Symptoms oc-curring late in the disease include low back pain, neck pain, bone pain and tenderness, loss of height over time and stooped posture.

Chiropractic care works on relieving symptoms and complications associated with osteoporosis.

By Dr. Donald G. Wegener

Osteoporosis is the thinning of bone tis-sue and loss of bone density over time. Os-teoporosis is the most common type of bone disease. There are currently an estimated 10 million Americans

suffering from osteoporosis, as well as another 18 million who have low bone mass, or osteopenia.

Osteoporosis occurs when the body fails to form enough new bone, or when too much old bone is reab-sorbed by the body, or both. Calcium and phosphate are two minerals that are essential for normal bone forma-tion. Throughout youth, the body uses these minerals to produce bones. If calcium intake is not suffi cient, or if the body does not absorb enough calcium from the diet, bone produc-tion and bone tissues may suffer. As people age, calcium and phosphate may be reabsorbed back into the body from the bones, which makes the bone tissue weaker. Both situations can result in brittle, fragile bones that are subject to fractures, even in the

Three years later, Meek is making her third mission trip to Szczecin, Poland, this time for seven weeks, and is open to the possibil-ity that God may be calling her there long-term.

“My goal is to deepen the relationship between myself, God and those I am going to serve,” she said. “There are also some very interesting questions I hope to fi nd answers to.”

Friends and fellow church members from Fel-lowship North Church saw Meek off with a launch par-ty May 21 that included din-ner, fellowship and prayer.

“Poland is where my heart is and has been for three years,” said Meek. “I am exploring what God has for me and if that is going to be long-term in Poland. I don’t feel the word mission-ary applies to me. I am an ordinary person following God’s call.”

The wilderness and the dry land shall be glad, the desert shall rejoice and blossom; like the crocus it shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice with joy and singing. The glory of Lebanon shall be given to it, the majesty of Carmel and Sharon. They shall see the glory of the Lord, the majesty of our God.

(Isaiah 35: 1-2 NRSV)

The desert in bloom

During our explorations of the Southwest, my hus-band, Lewis, and I had the opportunity to visit Carls-bad Caverns. The caverns were vast and beautiful, old and mysterious, dark and foreboding. The small pools of refl ecting water amid the swirling rock were like gems set in a great diadem.

My astonishment was almost overpowering; as I rounded the next curve in the path, I wondered if I would be able to compre-hend more majesty, more beauty, more wonder.

When we emerged from the darkness of the caverns, the sunlight was warm and welcome. As we drove down the highway (the entrance to the caverns is high on a mountain), we paid closer attention to our surround-ings. The mountains were rocky and rugged, barren of trees. I was reminded of the mountains in Israel, par-ticularly those on the road that leads from Jerusalem down to Jericho – the for-lorn setting of the Parable of the Good Samaritan. There were more caves among the hills, but it was the vegeta-tion that surprised me.

New Mexico is desert af-ter all, I reminded myself.

There were varieties of cactus – not the upraised arms of the Saguaro cactus, but the broad, low-to-the-ground, paddle-shaped, fl at-leafed types. Do cacti have leaves??? They certainly do have spikes: fi erce, needle-like, defensive weapons that clearly say, “Hands off, Bust-er!” They were everywhere, reminiscent of so many set-tings of Western movies.

And they were blooming! Large yellow blossoms ev-erywhere! Multiple blooms on each cactus!

It was incongruous and as “mules in horses’ har-

ness,” to quote Scarlett’s Mammy. But it also was a lesson in the abundant goodness of God.

Robinson Jeffers wrote a poem titled “The Excesses of God,” in which he posed the following question:

“Is it not by his high su-perfl uousness we know our God?

For to be equal a need Is natural, animal, min-

eral:But to fl ingRainbows over the rainAnd beauty above the

moon,And secret rainbowsOn the domes of deep

sea-shells …?”God created a universe

that is wild with wonder, and our little planet Earth is teeming with its own amaz-ing miracles. We need to ex-plore our world and discover what God is up to. We need to open our eyes and really seethe world.

Discovery doesn’t neces-sarily mean distant places either.

Open your eyes on your drive to work. Pay attention to sunrises and sunsets. No-tice the fl owers. Look – re-ally look – at the greenness of the grass.

Stand at a window and look into the distance. How far can you see? Is there a mountain within sight?

Go outside tonight and look up at the stars, the plan-ets, the moon. “Lift up your eyes,” as the psalmist says.

And if your life feels des-ert-like just now, remem-ber: The desert will bloom.

By Cindy TaylorStudents dressed as their

favorite character or letter, participated in fi eld days and said goodbye to friends as the school year ended.

Third-grade students and teachers at Powell Ele-mentary designed costumes depicting their favorite let-ter or phrase. The entire school lined the hallways as the 3rd grade marched through for the annual Vo-cabulary Parade.

Students at Pleasant Ridge Elementary took to the street to make the trek to Northwest Middle School for their fi eld day. Long

sprint winner for kinder-garten was Kayln Stirone; Hula Hoop winners were Kaitlyn McDonald and An-thony Diaz, and the apple-sauce eating contest was won by Brycen Covington.

Northwest Middle School celebrated the end of the year with an 8th-grade prom at Jubilee Banquet Fa-cility.

Powell High math teach-er Nick Green held a class in the hallway to teach stu-dents about exponential re-gression.

By Cindy TaylorPowell High School se-

nior and Panther baseball catcher Tanner Latham has signed with LMU.

Latham was instrumen-tal during the Panthers’ 2014 season in bringing the team to regular-season and tournament district cham-pionships. The team ended the regular season 30-10.

“Tanner is an outstand-ing catcher with a good arm who is good defensively,” said coach Jay Scarbro. “For the past two years Tanner has been our guy behind the plate and has done a fan-tastic job of stopping other teams from fi guring out our strategy.”

Latham also hit a high average a s designated hit-ter and threw numerous runners out at second base to keep opposing teams’ scores low. Latham caught 38 out of the 40 games Pow-ell played this season. With such a phenomenal year be-hind him, he is still humble.

“They just came and found me,” said Latham of LSU. “I am looking forward to playing ball at the next level.”

Latham was recruited as a catcher by the Division II Railsplitters. Scarbro says the athlete will jump right in and do a great job.

The Lions Club of Inskip held its 60th Scholastic Achievement event at Days Inn Banquet Room on May 12.

The project began in 1954 when the club hon-ored a 5th-grader at Inskip Elementary School and en-graved the student’s name on a plaque that hung at the school for a year.

As years went by and more elementary schools were built, these schools were included in the project

so that now students repre-senting Brickey-McCloud, Christenberry, Inskip, Nor-wood and Sterchi elemen-tary schools are honored.

Parents, siblings, grand-parents, teachers and prin-cipals from these schools were invited to a dinner and presentation of these awards. A gift was also giv-en to each honoree. A brief history of Lions and the In-skip Club was given by Lion Johnny Cecil, a 51-year Li-ons member.

The keynote address was given by Sarah Brengle, as-sistant principal at Ball Camp Elementary School. Brengle was introduced by Melissa Johnson, principal at Christenberry Elemen-tary. Her topic was “Habits Are What We Are.”

Honorees are: Brickey-McCloud, Kate Luttrell; Christenberry, Adrian Moto; Inskip, Breanna Angel; Norwood, Emma Wright; and Sterchi, Elaine Sheddan.

Knoxville Mayor Madeline Rogero is riding the buzz.

On Monday, the mayor spoke of the momentum around Knoxville. “A budget is not just a fi nancial docu-ment,” she said in Fountain City Park. “It’s about our vi-sion for our city. It is where we set our priorities and invest in the future that we want to see.

She drew loud applause from the neighborhood crowd when she men-tioned her budget includes $250,000 to make a “long-term solution” to the algae problems at Fountain City Lake.

On Tuesday, she secured passage of her budget and its accompanying 34-cent property-tax increase. The vote wasn’t even close.

On Wednesday, we learned of a fundraiser set for Wednesday, June 11, at the Kingston Pike home of Eddie Mannis, owner of Prestige Cleaners. It’s a $250 ticket with a 70-person host committee of Democrats and Republicans. Rogero is running for reelection, and I’m not betting against her.

We’ve always known Rogero was smart. Now we’re learning that she’s tough enough to fi ght and survive in the quagmire
